Lefties Losing It: Rosie O’Donnell’s latest crazy conspiracy theory

and it's time for Lefty's Losing It.Let's start with a lovely older woman wearing a Mecca t -shirt.Make America kind again.And let's just see what the modern left's version of kindness looks like.

Feel the love and tolerance, folks.

Feel the love.Let's see if she manages to crack open the pinata with some help.Shirt says, do as you would have them do onto you.That's what it says.There is no reasoning with these people, folks.These people are full of hate, full of bile and suffering from delusions of moral supremacy.

And they are failures.They couldn't even crack open a paper mache Trump.Talking about being full of hate and bile, let's see what Rosie O'Donnell is up to.She is living a full, rich life in Ireland after fleeing Trump's America.

There are 16 seasons of MasterChef.So very excited about that.I'm on season one.So I got 15 more to go after this.And it's so good when you don't want to watch the news about fake assassination attempts or what they're calling an assassination attempt.Yep.

She just claimed the latest assassination attempt against the president was fake.Just when you think she's hit rock bottom.she starts digging.Now let's hear from this unhinged loser who calls himself Charlemagne the God, who justifies the assassination attempts against President Trump.And this is Gross.

The Trump administration has caused so much pain in people's everyday lives that some folks are fed up and willing to risk it all.Simple as that.And if you're going to talk about anybody toning down violent political rhetoric, start with the president, Donald J. Trump.

Now, let's hear from Pete Buttigieg, Democrat with hopes of being president one day.And he had this profound point to make.

One thing that would make a huge difference is if we selected our president by letting the person who got the most votes actually take the office instead of the National Electoral College.

I don't know where Pete or that dim audience has been recently, but Donald Trump won the popular vote.The result would be exactly the same as the Electoral College.Now let's head to the Miami Grand Prix and hear from late night TV host Jimmy Fallon.He's not as unhinged or as unhappy as Jimmy Kimmel, but he's still a little bit strange.

What do you need?Can I get anything for you?I need some funny lines.I need everything.Cup of British tea.What do you want to ask?

What do we do here?Come on.You're the best.You can keep that.This is the highlight right here.

Martin Brundle couldn't wait to get away from him.Now let's hear from trans activist and actor Laverne Cox claiming that there is a genocide against the trans community and we can't allow women's sport just to be for women.What about the rights of all those mediocre male athletes pretending to be women?Do you expect them to go to court?and compete against men?They'd win nothing there.

At the heart of every genocide is dehumanization.That is the beginning.I think what we've seen over the past six years with trans people is a really good example of that.It's clear that it's never been about sports, it's never been about protecting women or children.To dehumanize us and put us in an excluded category so that we can take away, so they can take away our rights, legislate us out of existence.

President Trump has lashed out at Bill Maher, posting a lengthy assessment of the man, his program and his ratings.The president wrote, Bill Maher is a weak and ineffective person who I got to know very well during my dinner with him at the White House.He was nervous, scared.And the first words he uttered as he entered the Oval Office were, can I have a drink?It was very endearing, but at the same time, Absolutely pathetic.And the president was none too pleased with how Bill Maher handled California governor and presidential hopeful Gavin Newsom, or Newscum, as President Trump calls him.

He wrote, Bill Maher got eaten up by Gavin Newscum when Newscum said how well California is doing.A complete lie.And Bill Maher never challenged him.Not even a little bit.Also, Bill Maher's ratings suck.

Let's have a look at a little bit of this project work.

This was elected governor in 2018 and he's still trying to blame previous administrations and let's not forget the dude before him who was governor for eight years was also a Democrat.Bill Maher was too soft on him.Joining me now is Newsweek senior editor at large Josh Hammer.Josh, that was quite a diatribe from President Trump against Bill Maher.It was lengthy, it was scathing, but was it fair?

Look, Bill Maher, Rita, at this point, is better than like 98 % of people on the left.The problem with Bill Maher is that he is still on the left.Bill Maher is someone who is fairly rational when it comes to certain major cultural and civilizational issues.He's actually a staunch defender of free speech, which is in marked contrast to the now shockingly high percentage of Democrats and leftists here in the United States who would say that they would actually use political violence just to shut down your speech.But Bill Maher will have none of that.actually also very outspoken against the threat of radical Islam, which again places him at loggerheads with large swaths of his party.

See, for instance, the rise of radical Islam just in the Michigan Democratic Party.It looks like we're going to have a Hezbollah sympathizer potentially as the Michigan Democratic Senate candidate, for instance.So Bill Maher's on the right side of some of these issues.The problem is that he suffers from immense like truly, truly, truly debilitating Trump derangement syndrome.I mean, Bill Maher's TDS is probably up there with Bill Kristol's and some of the absolute worst that I've seen out there in the American public sphere.So look, does Bill Maher deserve this?

I don't know, but it's a little frustrating, frankly, for me.As someone who is trying to make more people see the light, that someone like Bill Maher, who I know can see enough of the light to actually come to the right side.He hasn't done it.He hasn't done yet there.And I think that above all, Rita, is probably why Donald Trump is lashing out at us.

Look, I've always said with Bill Maher, yes, he is a sensible lefty when you compare him to the modern left.But so often, I think we are guilty of the bigotry of low expectations when it comes to Bill Maher.We praise him endlessly.for stating the bleeding obvious, for saying things that conservatives have been saying for years, for decades, whether it's on trans issues, whether it's on free speech.When he comes to a position that is sensible and sane, that we've all been saying, we act like he's some sort of a genius.Now, we are learning more about Cole Allen, the man charged with attempting to assassinate President Trump.

Here is United States Attorney for the District of Columbia, Jeanine Pirro.

We're trying to get a real digital footprint of this individual.And what we have learned so far is that everything that we have garnered up to this point is that he was calculating, he was determined, he was premeditated in his intent to commit violence.He did everything necessary in his mind to kill the president of the United States.And make no mistake, in spite of his manifesto, in spite of the fact that he exempted this the Secret Service and Capitol Police and Kash Patel and a few other people.He said, I will still do what I have to to get to the president and the high -ranking officials.

Josh, this man's history of activism, the manifesto, the online footprint, they're all crystal clear and yet we have a disturbingly large portion of the population that have convinced themselves this was some sort of a staged assassination attempt.It was all planned to boost Donald Trump's popularity.

Rita, I saw a poll recently that was polling Democrats as to the percentage of them who thought that the Butler, Pennsylvania assassination attempt, the one that actually nicked Donald Trump's ear, that frankly missed killing him by just a mere matter of centimeters.I saw a recent poll that showed that somewhere between 45 and 50 % of Democrats think that that was staged.They actually think that Butler, Pennsylvania was some sort of Reichstag fire, trying to just aggrandize power onto Donald Trump himself.How do you reason with these people?This is a question that I struggle with on a daily basis.We are here in the battle of ideas here in America, there in Australia, where you are, and in the first world more generally.

We're trying to win the battle of ideas.But how do you win the battle of ideas?when your purported interlocutors simply do not live in reality.Facts are totally impervious.Rationality, logic, none of this frankly matters there because they have their narrative and they will just warp anything to their narrative.Now, one thing about this individual, and to be clear, Judge Dean is totally right there, this guy was clearly, clearly unambiguously trying to kill Donald Trump, trying to kill anyone that he possibly could in Donald Trump's cabinet, sitting there with him likely on the dais at the White House Correspondents' Dinner.

The thing that I am still mulling here, Rita, and it's been over a week since this happened, This guy was a graduate of Caltech, the California Institute of Technology.Now, I know a lot of folks probably don't pay close attention to the university rankings in America, but Caltech every single year is a top 10 to top 15 ranked university.I say that because he's not a one -off.Because we just saw about a year and a half ago, the same thing happened with Luigi Mangione.He was the actual assassin, not the would -be assassin, of Brian Thompson, the UnitedHealthcare CEO.Luigi Mangione was a graduate of the University of Pennsylvania, which is literally an Ivy League university.

This is like this, and I see that.America's elite institutions, Rita, are really not necessarily any longer producing people who are true patriots who care about the American constitution and the American common good, the common wheel.They're not really producing people who are trying to cure cancer or trying to do this or that.No, they're producing political assassins and political would -be assassins.And to me, that's actually one of the understated takeaways from this whole horrific ordeal.Frankly, as if we needed any more ammunition to try to really take it to the Ivy League and to American higher education in general, which has become just a complete bastion of wokeism as far as the eye can see.

But this is a really, really, really disturbing trend there.And again, 45, 50 % of Democrats apparently think that Butler, Pennsylvania was staged.So of course, of course they think that the White House correspondent was staged as well, Rita.How do you possibly reason with these people?I have no idea.

You can't.I mean, that just speaks to so much about the modern left because it's not that just, they just hold this crazy notion in this area.If you are willing to believe that Butler was some staged event, then you will believe anything.You are almost beyond, being reached by logic and reasonable debate and I can understand why America is so polarised because how can you possibly reach people who are that gone, who are that demented?If Donald Trump did not turn his head at that last millisecond to look at the graph he just put up, That bullet would have hit his head.I mean, that is in the end, it still hit his ear.

I mean, I don't know how anybody could think this was staged.Oh, goodness.Now, President Trump was asked about the ongoing threats against his government.and he was asked whether he'd consider wearing a bulletproof vest.This was his response.

Is there talks about you potentially wearing a bulletproof vest moving forward given you have now been shot at?

I don't know if I can handle looking 20 pounds heavier.

Even the lefties had to laugh at that.The man is funny, but on these threats, will he continue to do these big outdoor rallies leading up to the midterms?

I'm actually shocked, Rita, that Donald Trump is not already wearing a bulletproof vest.To be clear, I've never served in Secret Service.I've never done personal security in general there.But I can tell you just in my line of work as someone who goes to conferences and gives speeches and is out there on the conservative side of America's cultural and political divide, It's pretty common, frankly, to wear bulletproof vests.And people in my line of work are not the president of the United States.So I am fairly shocked, actually, that he's not already doing this.

Not that my opinion really means anything.It's up to Secret Service.But I would think that he probably should.For that matter, I would think that J .D.Vance probably should.

I would think that, frankly, all of these people who are really high -profile, public -facing in the line of succession to the presidency should probably be wearing something like that.As far as what kind of rallies he will actually be doing in the lead -up to November, No, I don't think you're gonna see any more of these massive outdoor Butler, Pennsylvania style rallies.Some large indoor rallies, sure.Look, these indoor rallies, you can obviously vet, you can go in there and you can case the whole place there, you can do whatever you want there, but the outdoor rallies are a totally separate thing.But even for the indoor, again, as we saw with the White House correspondents' dinner there, the indoor is not itself sufficient.It seems to me that Secret Service did not have a proper security perimeter around the White House.

Hilton Hotel last weekend.There should have been a two block perimeter.I'll give you an example, Reid, actually.So on New Year's Eve, on December 31st, here in South Florida, where I live, Bibi Netanyahu was actually in town.He actually spent New Year's Eve with Donald Trump in Mar -a -Lago.So he was in South Florida doing some things.

And he did an event at a synagogue in South Florida.I went to it.The security was off the charts.There was a massive perimeter there.It would have been impossible to get anywhere near that facility unless you were on a list, vetted, checked twice there.Why should any foreign dignitary have seemingly better security than the president of the United States there.

So to me, that's just a total baffling moment there.I think that, I frankly think that Secret Service still has a lot of questions to answer, especially given the fact that Bel Air, Pennsylvania was a thing that happened almost two years ago.But if there's one public policy takeaway from this whole ordeal, besides the whole thing about higher education that we were talking about a few minutes ago, the other thing to me, Rita, is this.The White House ballroom needs to be built because if you have the ballroom there, it'll be completely locked down and there is no chance whatsoever of anything like this happening again.Build the freaking ballroom, I say.

Now, I've been dying to talk to you about this.This has happened late last week and The impact of it is going to be dramatic, potentially.The Democrats are up in arms about it.Everyone from Barack Obama to Zohreh Memdani is having a meltdown over the Supreme Court decision that struck down Louisiana's congressional map, essentially finding that you can't use race to gerrymander.They have constrained the states from using race as a factor when drawing up their congressional maps.As I said Barack Obama was amongst those who was railing against this.

He posted this on X saying today's Supreme Court decision effectively guts a key pillar of the Voting Rights Act, freeing state legislators to gerrymander legislative districts.systematically dilute and weaken the voting power of racial minorities, so long as they do it under the guise of partisanship rather than explicit racial bias.I mean, they are literally advocating for racism right here, the Democrats.And wasn't it just over a week ago when Barack Obama was celebrating gerrymandering in Virginia and that gerrymandering would have made Virginia the most unrepresentative state in the world?in the country.What's your view on this Supreme Court decision and its likely impact?

Yeah, notably, Rita, I should note real quick off the top here that Virginia redistricting is actually held up in massive legal limbo at the moment.And in fact, if I had to wager a guess, I would probably guess that the Virginia Supreme Court is actually going to rule that it's not going to withstand.In fact, I think the map is probably ultimately not going to last, which would be a tremendous victory for conservatives and a massive defeat for Abigail Spanberger in her attempts to try to turn Virginia into the next California.Look, the Voting Rights Act of 1965, was one of America's major pieces of civil rights legislation.It was that and the Civil Rights Act from one year prior.These are the two bills that Martin Luther King fought for and marched for, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera.

Section two, which is the section of the Voting Rights Act that was actually at issue in this case, pretty simply and straightforwardly says, that no state or locality shall make any effort to abridge the right to vote on the basis of race.Now, that's a fairly anodyne, innocent sounding statement insofar as it goes.The problem is that a lot of lawmakers for decades have interpreted that, especially in these Southern states that are majority white, but have a large black population.They've interpreted that as carte blanche to carve out what we refer to here as majority minority districts.So kind of drawing a map to kind of carve out a majority black district in Louisiana or Alabama, not because it's a democratism, but because it is a black district here.But as you correctly note, America's constitution is colorblind.

That's the entire point.That's literally the whole point.That's the entire reason that we had the 14th Amendment ratified in 1868.Frankly, that was the entire point of the Civil Rights Act passed one year prior to the Voting Rights Act.So for decades, you had this very weird intellectual tension where you had these lawmakers say, oh, the Voting Rights Act requires us to actually use race.But oh, wait, wait a minute.

The 14th Amendment explicitly says you can't use race.So square this circle for me.So ultimately, the court says, No, actually, the circle cannot be square because the Constitution is colorblind.And the upshot is that if you are a state and you want to gerrymander in a very partisan way, That's probably okay.There's actually really nothing in the constitution that prohibits you from doing that.If you don't like the maps, you can vote the bums out or just frankly move from California to Texas or vice versa.

So there's really nothing wrong with partisan gerrymandering, but there's a big problem, Rita, a big problem with gerrymandering on the basis of race, because there's one thing that America's constitution is, our constitutional lodestar ever since Jefferson wrote those immortal words in 1776 that all men are created equal, our lodestar is race.neutrality and racial equality.That's what we celebrate the 250th anniversary of this July 4th and that's what the Supreme Court ratified yet again in this Supreme Court decision.

Josh Hammer, thank you so much for your time.

Thank you, Rita, appreciate it.

Now prepare to be shocked.Saturday Night Live actually did something that was mildly funny, actually was pretty damn good.

King Charles visited the U .S.to mark the 250th anniversary of American independence from Britain and to seek the release of a British hostage being held by an American terrorist.

But of course, in true Saturday Night Live fashion, they had to turn to Trump derangement.The Meghan Markle joke was immediately followed by this.

Charles also presented President Trump with the original bell from a British submarine and said, should you ever need to get a hold of us, just give us a ring.Or Trump could just call the guy saved in his phone as Andrew Island.

You know, I'd forgive the TDS if they could just manage to make it a little bit funny.Joining me now to discuss this and more is host of the Kinsey Schofield Unfiltered podcast, Kinsey, how will Harry and Meghan react to that little sketch?

Oh, they're going to hate it.They're going to hate it.Honestly, I think Prince Harry and Meghan would face a lot less criticism if they showed even a hint of self -awareness.Audiences are typically more forgiving of public figures who can laugh at themselves.But when you project this level of seriousness while contributing relatively little culturally, It creates some disconnect.That's why jokes like that one, they land until they're willing to be in on the joke instead of above it with their titles.

That perception isn't going to change.

Now, the Ginger and Winger are going to be absent from tomorrow's Met Gala event in New York, where the most famous and influential people gather annually, or at least they used to.I don't know how relevant it is these days.I wasn't aware of this, Kinsey, but apparently Meghan has a long running feud with Vogue editor and Met Gala chair Anna Wintour.And she's also not on great terms with Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez, certainly not in their friendship circle.One source told the Daily Mail that the couple is reallyand Quote they have truly lost the plot.

I hear she's spiraling badly because she knows nothing is working the whole thing about her as Ever stuff selling out isn't true anymore.I don't think if either of them are happy Kinsey is it such a big deal that they're not being invited to events like the Met Gala?

I mean, I thought it was incredibly odd that the seat the same year she had multiple seasons of a reality show on Netflix with Love, Megan.She wasn't invited to the Emmys.So I do think we're seeing a pattern here of them being rejected by Hollywood.And with this particular scenario, you know, it's fashion's biggest night.Megan should have pursued this ticket with a vengeance and use this opportunity to launch her influencer app instead of using the bodies of Bondi Beach victims.You know, that would make so much more sense to launch that app at something like the Met Gala where the entire world is watching.

Why would Megan use the, why not use the billionaires?Why use the sick and vulnerable is I think the common sense question.

Absolutely.Now, Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez allegedly paid $10 million to be named this year's sponsors for this event.And Kinsey, the gala, which carries the theme costume art this year, has the couple's name on the invites.I don't know about you, but to me, it's all a bit crass and desperate these days.

Well, to be fair, I think costume art, whenever I see the before and after pictures of Lauren Sanchez, especially her cleavage.But I mean, I actually like Sanchez.She's unapologetically ruthless.She goes for exactly what she wants and she usually gets it.And she works hard.There's something, you know, Jeff Bezos.

was afraid of heights before he started dating her, and now she is the pilot in all of their private jets.Like, well, not all of them, but she takes him in helicopters all over the world.So there's something really interesting to me about her, and I admire the hustle.

I think she was in the movie Anchorman 2, wasn't she?Didn't she play a newscaster?I could be, I'm not sure I'm right about that.

Yeah, in LA, she worked at KTLA.That was her job for a while, so she would fit right in on Anchorman.

Yeah, she wasn't quite Veronica, but she was up there.And she was amongst those astronauts with Katy Perry and Gayle King who went up into space for about 30 seconds.So we can't forget that.Now, Donald Trump has proven once again why he is the funniest president of our lifetime.Take a look as he jokes about Melania not liking his famous dance moves.He loves this story.

But she hates it when I do the thing on weightlifting.She says it's so unpresidential.And she hates when I dance to, at the end, to...She hates when I dance to what's sometimes referred to as the Gay National Anthem.You know that.She hates it.

So funny.Gay National Anthem.I love that.He's elevating that song even higher.

I don't, did you see the clip this week?I think it was circulating that where a reporter asked him, is it true you might be wearing a bulletproof vest going forward after the White House?Yeah.

And he's like, I can't afford another 20 pounds.

I mean, he truly, and also I thought he was so, he was so great because the way his humor at the beginning of the state visit with King Charles, it set the tone.This could have been a very scary, serious trip between him and King Charles.But his humor and the way that he de -escalates situations, it's incredibly powerful, Rita.Like, I think that that's what we want in a president.

Absolutely.Now, it's been reported that First Lady Melania quietly coordinated with Queen Camilla's outfits to indicate alignment and visual diplomacy.That's not a term I've heard before.Style strategist Lauren Rothman told Business Insider, unlike celebrities on the red carpet, the question isn't, did they look good?To me, the question is, did the visual match the responsibility?Rothman also said, I think the answer is yes.

Melania's visual matched the responsibility.She was elegant, yet not outshining.That's visual diplomacy at work.Kinsey, that's a very interesting bit of analysis because I think we just take it for granted that Melania is going to look amazing.But she was, she was very demure and it all seemed to be in sync with the royal couple.

I'm going to say something a little controversial here, but Queen Camilla, previously known as the Rottweiler, it's not like it's going to take a lot for the First Lady to steal the show.The fact that she goes out of her way not to, I think, says a lot about her grace, her composure.You know, she's the same way with President Trump.She doesn't try to take attention away from him.He's the leader and he wears the pants, it seems, unless there's a dance floor and then he might be scolded.But what I did think was interesting was I found out that Royal Aids and the First Lady's team routinely coordinate their wardrobes to make sure they're that they look in sync, which I thought was was fun.

I imagine that those are some fun exchanges back and forth.

And we're talking about Anna Wintour before and she does not put someone like Melania Trump on the cover of Vogue.I mean that just tells you how completely out of touch the fashion world is, particularly the publishing side of it.I mean, how can you not have a bonafide style icon who looks as good as she does on the cover when you've put Hillary Clinton there and you've put Kamala there and you've put Jill Biden there multiple times?Kinsey, that's a discussion we will have another time.Thank you so much for your time tonight.
