Actor Jeff Daniels roots for Republicans who voted for Trump to lose money
"But when Mitch [McConnell] started stacking the courts 25 years ago, I said it on your show once, they can see it coming," Daniels told Nicolle Wallace in an episode of her podcast "The Best People." "The new America that is diverse and treats everyone with equality and respect and dignity, you know, kind of like Jesus did. We're ready for that."
"And Mitch and company could see it coming. They were going to be the minority, so they just started and then here we are, and now you got it, and now you're losing money," Daniels added.
"I hope you're losing tons of money, those of you who thought this would be OK," Daniels went on. "My question is, what are you guys going to do about it?"
Wallace responded, highlighting how Trump won Michigan, and decried the president's tariffs.
"I mean, Michigan voted for Trump this time again," Wallace said. "I mean, the tariffs are going to hurt your neighbors, they're going to hurt."
Daniels agreed, saying that he thinks Trump's tariffs will be what ends up damaging the 47th president the most.
"Which I think, at the end of the day, that's what's going to do it," Daniels said. "'Wait a minute, the grocery bill is what? $180 more? I can't get that car that we have to have unless I pay another $8,000. What? Who do I blame for that? Who do I see about that?' One person."
Wallace said the country has seen a loss of "decency" over wanting more affordable goods.
"And I feel like some of the conversations we've had over the last 5-6 years were about this tug, not between right and left, but between decency and maybe if it's about the cost of things, decency became a luxury. There's something about decency being the sort of collateral damage, the thing we lose over wanting cheaper eggs," she said.
"Do you think it was ever really about cheaper eggs?" Wallace asked Daniels.
"Well, I think at the end of the day it would be about just the price of eggs, did it go up or down, because that's what he told me he was going to lower the price of eggs or my grocery bill," Daniels said.
He went on to call the president a "snake oil salesman."

White House Gives 'The View' Chilling Warning After Joy Behar Claims Trump is 'Jealous' Of Obama
Who knew the attempted dismantling of the First Amendment would be kind of dumb? The White House emailed an intimidating statement to Entertainment Weekly on Wednesday after the outlet reached out for comment about remarks Joy Behar made on 'The View' about President Donald Trump. During Wednesday's episode, the women of 'The View' discussed Trump's accusation that former President Barack Obama participated in a 'coup' against him in 2016 — an allegation Obama later called 'outrageous.' In response to Trump's claims, Behar immediately brought up Jan. 6, 2021, in which a horde of Trump supporters participated in an insurrection on the Capitol to overthrow the results of the 2020 presidential election. 'The thing about [Trump] is he's so jealous of Obama,' Behar said. 'Because Obama is everything that he is not — trim, smart, handsome, happily married, and can sing Al Green's song 'Let's Stay Together' better than Al Green. And Trump cannot stand it. It's driving him crazy.' In response to EW's request for a comment on Behar's remarks, the White House called the daytime talk show host 'an irrelevant loser suffering from a severe case of Trump Derangement Syndrome.' It also alleged that the show has 'hit the lowest ratings' in recent years. The statement went on to say Behar 'should self-reflect on her own jealousy of President Trump's historic popularity before her show is the next to be pulled off air.' The Trump administration's ominous warning against 'The View' follows CBS's announcement last week that the 'Late Show with Stephen Colbert' would be ending in May 2026. The network said it would not be finding a new host for the three-decade-long franchise, which was initially helmed by David Letterman. CBS claimed the decision was 'purely a financial' one, pointing to the general decline of late-night audiences. The news that the 'Late Show' was being canceled altogether occurred shortly after Colbert criticized CBS's parent company, Paramount, for agreeing to pay $16 million to settle a ridiculous lawsuit with Trump over a pretty standard edit made by '60 Minutes.' That settlement came amid a pending multibillion-dollar merger between Paramount and Skydance Media, one that requires approval from the Federal Communications Commission. Brendan Carr, the chairman of the FCC, was a Trump selection. On Tuesday, Carr complained on X about the 'left's ritualist wailing and gnashing of teeth' over Colbert's cancellation. 'They're acting like they're losing a loyal DNC spokesperson that was entitled to an exemption from the laws of economics,' Carr wrote.

Zac & Dylan Efron continue to drive the gays wild, now with a steamy round of shirtless golf
The Efron brothers know exactly who their audience is — it's us, the gays — and we're hooked. A few weeks ago, Zac (High School Musical) and Dylan (The Traitors) sent the internet wild when Dylan posted a video 'describing summer in one word' that included the boys swimming around shirtless and enjoying a lake day. See on Instagram Now, they've taken it up a notch with a collab post together, getting us interested in something we would otherwise care nothing about: golf. That's it. That's the post. Just a 16-second clip of the Efrons whacking around golf clubs, driving around in golf carts, captioned 'Sticks.' Oh, and all while completely shirtless and looking far too attractive to be traipsing around the golf course. See on Instagram Naturally, the internet lost its mind as soon as the video dropped. — (@) From being concerned over how many times they watch the video to begging to be in an Efron sandwich, social media's thirst for the brothers has officially exceeded the Supernatural Sam and Dean levels. — (@) Under the Instagram post, some comments were more wholesome, like the woman who said it 'just feels right' to see the two of them on a golf cart again. Others, on the other hand, casually mentioned the, ahem effect, the golf video had on them, and their solo habits. Apart from the thirst comments, the song attached to the clip had some mixed reactions, with most people thinking it should have been Zac's 'Bet On It' from High School Musical. However, both Instagram and TikTok credit the audio as original, with TikTok saying it's from Dylan. I merely point that out in wonder if Zac isn't the only Efron to sing, and also if Dylan's about to drop some other talent on us… Anyway, let's hope these two aren't done sharing their summer together yet and keep our fingers crossed they'll keep us hydrated along the way.

White House Slams Joy Behar's Recent Trump Comments And Warns Of ABC's ‘The View' 'Being The Next To Be Pulled Off The Air'
The White House lashed out at Joy Behar after she said on ABC's The View that Donald Trump's attacks on his predecessor, Barack Obama, were motivated by jealousy, while noting the current president's role in the attack on the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021. On Wednesday, Behar and the other View co-hosts talked about Obama's response to Trump's claim that his predecessor was guilty of treason. The Trump administration claims that Obama and his team conspired to alter intelligence assessments to boost the notion Russia was attempting to help Trump get elected in 2016.

On The View, Behar said, 'First of all, who tried to overthrow the government on January 6th? Who was that again?' Behar added, 'The thing about him is is so jealous of Obama, because Obama is everything that he is not. Trim. Smart. Handsome. Happily married. And can sing Al Green's song Let's Stay Together better than Al Green.' White House spokesperson Taylor Rogers said, 'Joy Behar is an irrelevant loser suffering from a severe case of Trump Derangement Syndrome. It's no surprise that The View's ratings hit an all-time low last year. She should self-reflect on her own jealousy of President Trump's historic popularity before her show is the next to be pulled off air.' EW first reported on the White House response. Trump has celebrated the decision by CBS to cancel The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, hosted by another of his critics. On Tuesday, he predicted that ABC's Jimmy Kimmel 'is NEXT to go in the untalented Late Night Sweepstakes and, shortly thereafter, Fallon will be gone. These are people with absolutely NO TALENT, who were paid Millions of Dollars for, in all cases, destroying what used to be GREAT Television. It's really good to see them go, and I hope I played a major part in it!' At the same time, the White House highlighted Trump's claims about 2016. Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard, who has claimed that Obama's team was engaged in 'a years-long coup intended to subvert President Trump's entire presidency,' appeared at the White House press briefing to talk about the release of new documents. That was a 2017 GOP House Intelligence Committee report on Russian interference, casting doubt on the intelligence that Russian President Vladimir Putin favored Trump to win the election. But a 2020 bipartisan report from the Senate Intelligence Committee concluded that Russia did interfere in the election, while detailing contacts between Trump campaign officials and Russian influence actors. Obama's spokesperson said that 'nothing in the document issued last week undercuts the widely accepted conclusion that Russia worked to influence the 2016 presidential election but did not successfully manipulate any votes.' On The View, other hosts said that Trump's focus on Obama, and the referral to the Justice Department to investigate, was an attempt to distract from the Jeffrey Epstein story. Alyssa Farah Griffin, who was Trump's director of strategic communications in his first term, said, 'I saw the intelligence that we had. I actually was with Mike Pence when he confronted Vladimir Putin in Signapore and said, 'We know what you tried to do in our elections, Do not do it again.' It was the consensus of the people in the first term, including the director of national intelligence that Russia did try to meddle in our elections.'
