After being embarrassed over his lack of an argument and insistence on semantic minutiae during his appearance on the Joe Rogan podcast, British political commentator Douglas Murray raced to the New York Post to pen an opinion piece demanding better “standards” for podcasters like Rogan.

The Trump administration’s aggressive deportation practices, whether sending alleged gang members to a notorious El Salvadoran prison or rounding up foreign students for opposing Israel’s war in Gaza, have led many pundits and others to raise the alarm about a Constitutional crisis and the evisceration of due process.

But as Jimmy points out, this crisis has been decades in the making, and dates back to when Nobel Peace Prize-winne...

On Friday’s episode of Real Time, host Bill Maher opened up about a surprising meeting he had last week with former President Donald Trump at the White House. Maher said the encounter was far more cordial and humorous than he ever anticipated.

American comedian Dave Smith and British cultural critic Douglas Murray recently joined Joe Rogan for a much-discussed episode of The Joe Rogan Experience.

Murray confronted Rogan and criticised him to his face for platforming non-experts to discuss historical and political subject matter. Murray also claimed criticizing such figures was like “punching jelly” because they would fall back on an “I’m no expert” or “I’m just a comedia...

Stocks plunged on Thursday and then again on Friday as U.S. trading reacted to President Trump’s announcement of heavy tariffs on nearly every nation exporting products to the United States. 

Trump announced Wednesday he would impose a 10 percent tariff on all imports, with higher rates for key trading partners in response to what the White House considers unfair trade practices. Tariff rates ranged from 20 percent for European Uni...

President Donald Trump on Wednesday announced far-reaching new tariffs on nearly all U.S. trading partners — a 34% tax on imports from China and 20% on the European Union, among others — that threaten to dismantle much of the architecture of the global economy and trigger broader trade wars.

Trump, in a Rose Garden announcement, said he was placing elevated tariff rates on dozens of nations that run meaningful trade surpluses with ...

The European Union did virtually nothing to stop the US and NATO from expanding east toward Russia and then provoking Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, and now the chickens are coming home to roost in the form of a potential Russian nuclear response. So what is the EU doing now? Sharing videos instructing citizens to stockpile tuna a cell phone chargers in preparation for nuclear bombs raining down on them.
