Hidden Camera captures Principal Economist @federalreserve talking about Jerome Powell’s legacy as “somebody who held the line against like, Trump.” The influential agency responsible for maintaining a stable monetary system appears to not just be establishing interest rates, but to be setting policies for desired social outcomes.

…last week, a constellation of online right influencers all began in unison to practically cream over a young black gentleman called Coleman Hughes, who — judging by his various TV hits promoting his new book — really, really wants you to know that 1) he’s only voted for Democrats (including Biden), 2) that he’s a “political independent” (albeit one that has only voted for Democrats), and 3) that he’s a CNN contributor who also writes for Bari Weiss. On these points he is insistent.
Yet in an exchange with Sunny Hostin on “The View,” Hughes very capably and very effectively rebuffed what we’ve most of us come to expect as the typical racialist ambush, one leveled at nearly every black public figure who meets the legacy media having challenged the left’s racial orthodoxy — which sadly, is more and more becoming an overt return to racial essentialism.
It was a fine performance by Mr Hughes, to be sure. But this is “The View,” home to some of the dumbest women on planet earth.
“Are you telling me Boris Johnson is sleazier than Vladmir Putin?”
The Tucker Carlson interview of Vladmir Putin.
30 minutes in, this is a fascinating watch.
59 minutes in, Canada gets a shout out!
1:21: Whoo boy, the undermining of the USD as the world’s reserve currency comes up and it’s brutal.
Pretty good interview, unless you still retained a faint hope that our Western leaders were Putin’s intellectual equal, then … whoo boy.
Update: The interview has nearly 45 million views on X in 4 hours.
BREAKING VIDEO: Top White House Cyber Official tells O’Keefe in Disguise “they can’t say it publicly” the White House wants to replace Kamala Harris and Confirms President @JoeBiden mental decline: “Biden is definitely slowing down.”
“I’m just telling you what I’ve heard… they’re really concerned about it” …“I think they need to get rid of him or her.”
“But no one in modern history has ever said, like, ‘We’re not going to renominate the president for a second term.’”
Charlie Kraiger @CharlieKraiger, a Cybersecurity policy analyst and Foreign affairs Desk Officer in the Executive Office at the White House, tells O’Keefe “I had a meeting with Michelle Obama @michelleobama
…. Someone asked her, ‘Will you ever run for office?’ And she said, ‘No’ Empathically.” She was like, ‘I’ve seen all this shit my husband has had to go through and that does not interest me.’“@VP @KamalaHarris hemorrhages black staff. She can’t keep black staff. They quit on her en masse”
“She will be the vice president nominee. There was a debate about removing her from the ticket, but sadly they didn’t, she’s not popular, but you can’t remove the first black lady to be vice president from the Goddamn presidential ticket. Like what kind of message are you going to send to like African-American voters… People would be like, “What the fuck?” Like she’s a woman and she’s multiracial.”
WSJ Editor-in-Chief brings bad news;
Emma Tucker told a crowd at the World Economic Forum, “I think there’s a very specific challenge for the legacy brands, like the New York Times and like the Wall Street Journal.”
She continued, “If you go back really not that long ago, as I say, we owned the news. We were the gatekeepers, and we very much owned the facts as well.”
“If it said it in the Wall Street Journal, the New York Times, then that was a fact,” Tucker further stated, adding “Nowadays, people can go to all sorts of different sources for the news and they’re much more questioning about what we’re saying.”

Zerohedge; Project Veritas Implodes Six Months After Firing James O’Keefe
Project Veritas has reportedly imploded roughly six months after bad actors infiltrated the undercover whistleblower organization and orchestrated the ouster of founder James O’Keefe.
Earlier Thursday, the Project Veritas X account tweeted: “SOS Hannah Giles just fired us all,” before it was quickly deleted. […][
“Since James quit, the donations dried up…the donations never resumed,” one source told the Post Millennial, adding “The board were desperate to bring Hannah on board because they thought it would be cute but the problem is she’s a charlatan and a fraud. Everything she’s ever done has been a failure and she lied to everyone claiming she had all these donors she could bring in.”
James O’Keefe, meanwhile, can be found here at his new venture, O’Keefe Media Group (OMG).
Clips are now making their way to Twitter, and some of them are lit. According to the comments, you can access the event via Blaze TV. I’ll post a few in the extended entry.
Update: You can find the video coverage here, still live, now into its 4th hour. Scroll the red time bar back for segments with the candidates.

This is going to pull a lot of eyeballs.
One by one, Carlson will grill Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, former Vice President Mike Pence, South Carolina Sen. Tim Scott, former U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley, former Arkansas Gov. Asa Hutchinson, and businessman Vivek Ramaswamy.
Regardless of any private hesitation they may harbor, each of the campaigns who spoke with RCP ahead of the event say they take Carlson seriously. Most have spent considerable time preparing. And for good reason.
This time, it’s BlackRock.

As yesterday’s Episode 1 of Twitter Tucker clocks 96.3M views;
The Los Angeles Times is cutting its newsroom staff, becoming the latest news organization to contract amid economic pressures brought on by advertising and print readership declines.
The Times is eliminating 74 positions in the newsroom, representing about 13% of the total.
Still too many.

Megyn Kelly behind the scenes between Fox News and Tucker Carlson: The ratings continue to be in the toilet…
Glenn Reynolds: Tucker has 14.5 million views in just over two hours. How many people have watched Fox — or all the cable channels put together — in the same time period?
In important ways, Carlson is extending Orwell’s famous maxim that “during times of universal deceit, telling the truth becomes a revolutionary act.” And as others — including very recently myself — have done, he’s putting to words and voice his refusal to surrender to those very “new new things, poisonous things, silly things” that we’re being told, without hesitation, that we must and will conform to.
