Comedian claims his young daughter has trans friends — and Bill Maher shuts him down



Bill Maher has once again clashed with a liberal on his podcast — this time with comedian David Cross over transgender politics.

As the pair argued on Maher’s “Club Random” podcast about biological men competing in women’s sports, Cross seemed to believe that the existence of his young daughter’s transgender friends would be a winning argument.

However, Maher quickly responded with shock when Cross explained that his daughter’s transgender friends are 9 years old and 3 years old.

“I knew somebody who said to me ... a woman, said, ‘I was what they called a tomboy. If I was alive now and acted the way I did then, that’s what they would have done to me,’” Maher explained.


“Well, nobody’s doing this to her,” Cross said.

“Somebody is doing something, because 8- or 9-year-olds can’t do anything on their own,” Maher responded.

BlazeTV host Stu Burguiere and co-host Dave Landau are not surprised that Cross has adopted the opinions of the left.

“He’s in L.A., though, where he lives, so he is at the eye of the storm. So, I mean, if any of us lived in Los Angeles, our kids would have a friend who identified as trans. It would be almost impossible not to,” Landau comments.

“But I would hope, Dave, we would be able to keep our connection to reality and be able to say, ‘Look, that’s not a thing,’” Stu says.

“Three years old. This is insanity,” he adds.

“It’s a conversation that I’m shocked we’re still having,” Landau agrees.

Lloyd Blankfein's Hard Knock Wall Street Life

From a very young age, Lloyd Blankfein, the former chairman and CEO of Goldman Sachs from 2006 through 2018, was destined to work on Wall Street. His commercial instincts first began to show at the age of six when he became the neighborhood market maker for used comic books. By 13, he was selling concession food on commission in the stands at Yankee Stadium. By his formative teenage years, he had developed a transactional approach to life—"sizing up different kinds of people quickly" to see how they could be useful to him and then adjusting his outward persona like a chameleon to get what he wanted.

Charles Not in Charge: King’s Visit Hits All the Right Notes but Doesn’t Reflect Reality

King Charles III’s trip across the Atlantic came at a difficult time. The Iran campaign marks a low point for the transatlantic alliance, his host country is preparing to celebrate the 250th anniversary of evicting his family’s rule, and the "no kings" protests remind Britain’s royals that many Americans still equate monarchy with tyranny.

‘A child wouldn’t make that mistake’: Dave Landau BLASTS Ilhan Omar’s World War ‘Eleven’ slip



Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) has long been known for her defense of Somalian immigrants and intense hatred of the Trump administration — but that’s all about to change, as BlazeTV host Stu Burguiere has crowned her with a new title.

“When you think of who the dumbest congressman in America is, or congresslady, you come up with a bunch of different names. I think AOC would be sort of near the top of that list for a lot of people,” Stu tells co-host Dave Landau on “Stu and Dave Do America.”

“Another one you might put in that list is Ilhan Omar,” Stu says, noting that conservatives mostly take issue with her ideology, but not necessarily her stupidity.

However, that was before a clip of Omar discussing World War II resurfaced.


“The last time the Alien Enemies Act was invoked, it was used to detain and deport German, Japanese, Italian immigrants during World War 11,” Omar said in the clip, using the number “eleven” instead of “two.”

“How can that be real?” Stu asks, shocked.

“I think most people often think that there are more world wars than ‘Police Academy’ movies,” Landau jokes, adding, “She could just be thinking of ‘The Fast and the Furious.’”

Landau also points out that as a congresswoman, she should know that there were two world wars, but she doesn’t because “she doesn’t care enough about America to actually know that.”

“No one makes that mistake. A child wouldn’t make that mistake,” he adds.

Comedian defends Jimmy Kimmel from cancel culture: ‘It’s still a joke’



Jimmy Kimmel’s “widow” joke about first lady Melania Trump has sparked sharp criticism from the Trump administration — with President Donald Trump and Melania Trump going so far as to call for ABC to fire the comedian.

“Our first lady, Melania, is here. ... So beautiful. Mrs. Trump, you have a glow like an expectant widow,” Kimmel said in his monologue.

Not only did the president and the first lady not find the joke funny, but the timing made its reception even worse.

“As the first lady of the United States pointed out this morning, just two days prior to the shooting, ABC’s late-night host Jimmy Kimmel disgustingly called first lady Melania Trump an ‘expectant widow,’” White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said after the most recent attempt on President Trump’s life.

“Who in their right mind says a wife would be glowing over the potential murder of her beloved husband?” Leavitt continued.


“And having experienced what I did with the first lady on Saturday night, I can tell you that she was anything but that. This kind of rhetoric about the president, the first lady, and his supporters is completely deranged,” she added.

While members of the Trump administration have made it clear they’re not happy with Kimmel, BlazeTV host and comedian Dave Landau has a controversial take.

“I’m going to go ahead and say that’s a funny joke,” he tells co-host Stu Burguiere.

“You like the joke,” Stu comments, surprised.

“It’s fine. You keep trying to kill him, so they’re saying you have a good look for an expectant widow. I understand that people don’t like the guy who’s saying it, but there’s logic and reason to the joke, and it’s a still a joke,” Landau says.

“You don’t have to like it, but I will never be on the side of throw somebody off of TV or cancel them based on something that was a joke,” he continues.

“We agree on that,” Burguiere says, adding, “I’m totally with you.”

EXCLUSIVE: In Cities Across America, Homeless Services Are Doled Out Based on Race and Sexual Identity

The homelessness crisis in Multnomah County, Oregon, is among the worst in the country. Home to deep-blue Portland, where the deaths of homeless people quadrupled between 2019 and 2023, according to data from the county health department, Multnomah has a per-capita homeless rate of 1.3 percent, and some shelters are closing due to budget problems.

‘This fall can’t happen quick enough’: Caitlin Clark ticket sales foreshadow WNBA collapse



The Indiana Fever team has been having difficulty selling tickets for its season opener against the Dallas Wings — and BlazeTV host Jason Whitlock not only believes it’s “a sign that the WNBA is about to potentially crash and burn,” but knows why.

“They’ve probably already burned up the goodwill that Caitlin Clark earned them by entering into the league. If they’ve diminished the star of Caitlin Clark, what they’ve really diminished is the entire league,” he explains.

Whitlock points out that while some of the WNBA players are making seven-figure salaries, the attitude of the league leaves fans wondering if they’ve earned it.


“People are going to want their money’s worth, and the WNBA can’t give it to them. And when you don’t feel good about the players, when these players are walking around making seven-figure salaries, pretending like they’re superstar celebrities, pretending like they’re just the same as NBA players, all the goodwill is going to disappear,” he explains.

“We already see it in Indiana with Caitlin Clark. The goodwill is gone. ... Women’s basketball in the WNBA and professionals, it’s bloated. It’s overrated. It’s hot garbage that’s being paid like it’s pristine and some prized possession,” he continues.

And while the players are paid well, Whitlock points out that one of the biggest issues with their attitude is that they “hate America and have portrayed themselves as victims” who have “blackmailed and guilt-tripped their way into a seven-figure salary.”

Now that the league can’t sell out the Indiana Fever’s first home game, Whitlock believes “the entire league is teetering at the brink of an uprising and a backlash that’s really long overdue.”

And Whitlock is among those leaving the league behind.

“I’m prepared, like the rest of you, to de-emphasize my passion for the WNBA,” he says. “This fall can’t happen quick enough.”

Hardcore Country Hero

For wayward souls craving a dose of old-school, real-deal country music, there's an obscure but surefire remedy, a 1973 low-budget cult movie called Payday. It stars wild-man actor Rip Torn in a career performance as Maury Dann, a pill-popping, pistol-toting, whiskey-swigging country singer with scimitar sideburns and a bad attitude working his way down the music-biz food chain.

The Apple Doesn’t Fall Far From China

Kind words and accolades poured in after this week’s announcement that Tim Cook is stepping down as Apple’s CEO. The tech magnate has been at the helm since 2011, and Apple has enjoyed a remarkable run during that time. At the personal level, Cook’s success is a wonderful reminder of the many blessings Americans enjoy thanks to capitalism and free enterprise. But those blessings will only endure if the United States dissuades other countries from following Apple’s path.
