Beyoncé Shows Off Her Ample Assets in Leather Outfit for F1 Las Vegas Grand Prix

/

Beyoncé appeared at the Formula One event in Las Vegas on Saturday night, joining a large group of high-profile attendees at the annual race.

The singer arrived with Jay-Z as the two entered the venue during one of the most publicized stops on the F1 calendar.

Beyoncé wore a white and black leather top styled after a racing uniform.

The outfit featured a zipper that she left partially open at the front.

She walked into the event alongside Jay-Z as fans and attendees gathered near the entrance.

Her hair fell to her shoulders, and she smiled while observing the atmosphere surrounding the race.

The couple’s appearance at the F1 event followed earlier sightings in November.

Sources said the two had recently attended Kris Jenner’s 70th birthday celebration.

Their attendance at both gatherings came as they stepped away from professional commitments to spend time together.

Saturday’s race drew a wide range of public figures from entertainment, sports, and culinary fields.

Among those present were Ben Affleck, Machine Gun Kelly, Michael Douglas, Catherine Zeta-Jones, Nina Dobrev, Gordon Ramsay, and Magic Johnson.

The event has regularly attracted notable guests as Las Vegas continues to serve as a major destination for high-profile races and entertainment programming.

The F1 weekend in Las Vegas included multiple events, live performances, and heavy media coverage surrounding the competition.

Beyoncé and Jay-Z were photographed entering the venue ahead of the race as crowds filled the area.

The appearance marks another instance in which the couple has been seen at major public events in recent weeks.

Sources earlier in the month said they attended Kris Jenner’s birthday gathering during a period in which they have been observed at various private and public functions.

The Las Vegas F1 event is one of the most attended on the circuit and draws participants and spectators from around the world.

The attendance list on Saturday reflected that trend, with actors, musicians, athletes, and public personalities taking part in race-related activities.

Beyoncé and Jay-Z departed the entrance area shortly after arriving, joining other guests inside.

Event coverage continued throughout the night as the race progressed and attendees moved between viewing areas and hospitality locations.

Bill Maher’s Thanksgiving Message Makes a Certain Group of People Look Like Idiots

/

Bill Maher used his closing segment on “Real Time with Bill Maher” to criticize the growing trend of cutting off family members over political disagreements, arguing that the practice has damaged relationships and fueled deeper division.

Maher opened the segment by saying, “And finally, new rule, Happy Thanksgiving. I can’t believe that even that now is a political issue. It is a real shame what’s happened to this holiday, which used to be all about the good F’s, food, friends, family, football, fun, and now it’s f**k you. You’re not even invited because you voted for the wrong person.”

He added that he is “so tired of liberals ghosting half this country,” while noting that conservatives also do it “but not nearly as much.”

He said politics is now breaking families “more than letting your wife see your phone” and described two factions forming on the left: “the we need to keep talking to people, wing and the go no contact. Wing.” He criticized the belief that “Trump voters, even if it’s your own parents, are too deplorable for human contact and must be cut off.”

Maher referenced former Obama speechwriter David Litt, saying Litt wrote an op-ed admitting that avoiding right-leaning relatives was the wrong approach.

Maher said, “So of course, then the woke wing tried to banish him for breaking ranks on their policy of hating people who don’t agree with you on everything.”

He also pointed to comments made by Molly McNerney, who said she lost relationships after sending relatives an email listing reasons not to vote for President Trump.

Maher said, “Ultimatums don’t make people rethink their politics. They make them rethink you.”

He suggested a different approach: “write a top 10 List to yourself where you try to imagine 10 Reasons Why 77 million Americans didn’t want to trust you with taking power.”

Maher said most people learn their political views through upbringing, location, life experience, or religion.

He described reactions after Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene appeared on his show, saying some viewers admitted, “Wow, I kind of like her.”

He recalled Greene agreeing with comments about “fallen angels or demons” when discussing a Defense Department reference. Maher said, “I think that’s nuts. But you know what so is, is this a girl or a boy? I can’t tell by its penis.”

He listed political positions and cultural issues on the left that he objected to, saying, “I mean, I could go on really. There’s a lot of stuff. The other side has their top 10. List too.”

Maher also mentioned criticism of President Trump and said, “I know the President of the United States called a woman piggy this week,” adding that while some viewers may dislike Trump more strongly than he does, he also dislikes it.

Maher argued that cutting people off is unrealistic in key situations, including dealing with the President.

He said the anger toward him for having dinner with Trump was misguided: “you know, because he’s Hitler, except he’s not so unhelpful and dumb. Trump is the most supportive President Israel and the Jews ever had.”

He mocked the idea that speaking with President Trump elevates him. Maher referenced reports about ways to influence Trump, including advice that people need to meet him “face to face.”

He cited examples such as interactions with business leaders, decisions involving the National Guard, and advocacy from Kim Kardashian.

“Don’t you get it? Do you really not get it at this point, everything with him is done through personal relationships,” Maher said.

He argued that isolating Trump leaves him surrounded by people who agree with him, saying critics complain “he’s surrounded by ass kissers, but your strategy is to make sure no one but ass kissers are around him.”

Maher pointed to Rachel Maddow attending former Vice President Dick Cheney’s funeral as an example of people with opposing politics engaging in the same space.

He closed the segment by urging viewers to stay connected to their families: “We can do this, people, it’s Thanksgiving. Do yourself a favor. Get over yourself and go have it with your family.”

Kevin Spacey Says He’s Now Homeless After Years of Allegations and Sex Scandals

/

Kevin Spacey said he no longer has a permanent place to live after years of legal battles and public allegations that he has repeatedly denied.

The two-time Academy Award winner discussed his circumstances in a November 19 interview with The Telegraph, explaining how the fallout from the accusations has led to major financial strain and the loss of his longtime residence.

Spacey said the allegations, made by more than a dozen men, never resulted in a conviction, but they still had a significant effect on his life.

He lost the Baltimore, Maryland, home where he lived for 12 years and now relies on temporary lodging.

“Because the costs over these last seven years have been astronomical,” he said.

“I’ve had very little coming in and everything going out.”

He told The Telegraph that the shift from a stable career to years of litigation and public scrutiny left him rebuilding his life.

“You get through it,” Spacey said.

He added that his belongings are in storage and that he hopes to eventually choose a permanent place to live.

“In weird ways, I feel I’m back to where I first started, which is I just went where the work was. Everything is in storage, and I hope at some point, if things continue to improve, that I’ll be able to decide where I want to settle down again.”

Spacey described his current living situation in direct terms.

“I’m living in hotels, I’m living in Airbnbs,” he said.

“I’m going where the work is. I literally have no home, that’s what I’m attempting to explain.”

He said offers have come from first-time filmmakers willing to cast him in new projects, even as major studios keep their distance.

“We are in touch with some extremely powerful people who want to put me back to work,” he told The Telegraph.

“And that will happen in its right time. But I will also say what I think the industry seems to be waiting for is to be given permission – by someone who is in some position of enormous respect and authority.”

Spacey said his financial condition is “Not great,” though he noted he has managed to avoid bankruptcy.

“It was discussed, but it never got to that point,” he said.

In recent years, Spacey has won multiple legal cases connected to the accusations raised against him.

In 2023, a London court acquitted him of sexual assault charges brought by four men who said incidents occurred between 2001 and 2013.

In 2022, he was found not liable in a civil lawsuit filed by actor Anthony Rapp, who alleged Spacey molested him in 1986 when Rapp was 14 years old.

Spacey said the combination of legal outcomes and ongoing industry hesitation has left him navigating work on a project-by-project basis while he waits to see whether his career will stabilize.

‘The View’ Co-Hosts Call Out Jasmine Crockett for Botched Epstein Smear on Republicans

‘The View’ Co-Hosts Call Out Jasmine Crockett for Botched Epstein Smear on Republicans

/

Co-hosts of “The View” criticized Democratic Rep. Jasmine Crockett of Texas on Thursday after she incorrectly claimed that several Republicans had accepted campaign donations from Jeffrey Epstein.

The discussion centered on Crockett’s accusations and the subsequent confirmation that the contributions she referenced came from a different individual with the same name.

Crockett alleged that Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Lee Zeldin, former Republican Sen. Mitt Romney, and the National Republican Congressional Committee all took donations from Epstein.

Federal Election Commission records later showed that the contributions in question were from a self-employed physician also named Jeffrey Epstein.

According to the records, this individual made a $750 donation to Zeldin’s campaign on April 24, 2020, and a $250 donation on August 31, 2020.

Both contributions occurred a year after Epstein, the sex offender, died in Manhattan.

The same donor also gave two $250 contributions to Romney’s 2012 presidential campaign.

During the segment, Joy Behar asked for clarification about Crockett’s claims.

“Okay, it is also false that Mitt Romney and the NRCC took money … so it’s not true that they took money from Jeffrey Epstein?” she said.

“Okay, yes, a different [Jeffrey Epstein]. It’s so confusing and annoying!”

Alyssa Farah Griffin said Crockett’s comments shifted attention away from the seriousness of the Epstein case.

“But Joy, this is why people get so frustrated with politicians. Something horrible was done. We all agree on that. Epstein engaged in horrific crimes, but people care more about, well, my team didn’t do it, your team did,” she said.

Co-host Sara Haines said Crockett should acknowledge the mistake.

“When she said, my team looked into this quickly, when you’re going to throw out an accusation that big, which we all know this case is that big, just own it, say it was a mistake, and move on,” Haines said.

“Because to then try to say, well, they lie and we don’t lie, again, it’s the distrust in Congress and our politicians.”

Crockett addressed the issue in an interview on “The Source with Kaitlan Collins,” where she said she did not have adequate time to review the information provided by her team.

She said she did not believe she had lied about Zeldin accepting donations from Epstein.

“[Zeldin] admitted that he did receive donations from a Jeffrey Epstein, so at least I wasn’t trying to mislead people,” she said.

Crockett’s team also cited troll donations made under the name “JEFFREY EPSTEIN” listing the occupation as “CHILD MOLESTOR” and employer as “JEFFREY EPSTEIN.”

The contributions were processed through WinRed, which Crockett accused of accepting funds from Epstein.

The exchange unfolded as public attention remained focused on various political debates related to the release of Epstein-related documents.

Records revealed that Democratic Virgin Islands Del. Stacey Plaskett exchanged text messages with Epstein during a 2019 congressional hearing involving President Donald Trump’s former attorney Michael Cohen.

According to a Business Insider investigation, Epstein provided Plaskett with the name of a Trump Organization aide ahead of her questioning and also donated to her.

Fugees Rapper Sentenced to 14 Years Over Illegally Funneling Money to Obama Campaign

Fugees Rapper Sentenced to 14 Years Over Illegally Funneling Money to Obama Campaign

/

Grammy-winning artist Pras Michel was sentenced to 14 years in prison after being convicted of funneling foreign money into Barack Obama’s 2012 reelection campaign and participating in a broader influence operation linked to Malaysian financier Jho Low.

Michel, 53, was found guilty of organizing the scheme and channeling millions of dollars from Low through straw donors to support the campaign.

Federal prosecutors said Michel obtained more than $120 million from Low and directed a portion of those funds into political contributions.

Prosecutors also said Michel attempted to stop a Justice Department investigation into Low, tampered with two witnesses, and committed perjury during his trial.

In April 2023, a federal jury convicted Michel on 10 counts, including conspiracy and acting as an unregistered agent of a foreign government.

The trial in Washington included testimony from actor Leonardo DiCaprio and former Attorney General Jeff Sessions.

Michel had publicly appealed to President Donald Trump for clemency.

He told TMZ, “I hope he turn an eye on me,” adding that he had “love for any president” and expressed trust in the process.

Michel also compared his legal situation to Trump’s conviction in a hush money case during the Biden-Harris administration.

The Hollywood Reporter previously stated that Trump was considering a possible pardon, though the White House declined to comment.

Michel’s representatives later said only that “all available options” were being explored.

Judge Colleen Kollar-Kotelly issued the sentence and ordered Michel to serve three years of supervised release following his prison term.

Prosecutors argued that sentencing guidelines recommended a life sentence, describing Michel as someone who “betrayed his country for money” and “lied unapologetically and unrelentingly to carry out his schemes.”

They wrote, “His sentence should reflect the breadth and depth of his crimes, his indifference to the risks to his country, and the magnitude of his greed.”

Defense attorney Peter Zeidenberg called the 14-year sentence “completely disproportionate to the offense” and confirmed that Michel will appeal.

Zeidenberg noted that other figures connected to similar matters received lighter penalties.

“Elliott Broidy was pardoned, George Higginbotham got 3 months’ probation, and Nicki Lum Davis received 24 months. Not to mention that DOJ has announced that FARA will no longer be prosecuted except where there is espionage involved – something not alleged here,” he said.

“There simply is no justification for Mr. Michel being singled out like this except for the penalty for opting for trial. We will appeal.”

Michel’s attorneys wrote in a separate filing that a life sentence would be an “absurdly high” punishment, arguing that such penalties are typically reserved for violent criminals.

They added, “The Government´s position is one that would cause Inspector Javert to recoil and, if anything, simply illustrates just how easily the Guidelines can be manipulated to produce absurd results.”

A spokesperson for Michel told the Daily Mail, “Throughout his career Pras has broken barriers. This is not the end of his story. He appreciates the outpouring of support as he approaches the next chapter.”

Michel has also been ordered to forfeit $64 million connected to the scheme.

Prosecutors said the broader influence operation sought to pressure U.S. officials to drop investigations into Low, who remains a fugitive.

Billboard reported that prosecutors said Michel “betrayed his country for money,” noting that comparable offenses often result in sentences of more than two decades.

Michel is scheduled to surrender on January 27.

Low, who has lived in China, helped finance the film “The Wolf of Wall Street.”

Michel’s attorneys wrote that Low’s motivation for providing funds was to obtain a photograph with then-President Obama.

In August 2024, a judge denied Michel’s request for a new trial, which partly argued that his previous attorney improperly used a generative AI program during closing arguments.

The court ruled those issues did not constitute a miscarriage of justice.

Michel also publicly supported rapper Tory Lanez, incorrectly suggesting a presidential pardon could affect the case, though Lanez’s conviction is under California’s jurisdiction.

Prosecutors said Michel received an estimated $88 million for his role in the scheme.

Michel rose to prominence in the 1990s as part of the Fugees alongside Lauryn Hill and Wyclef Jean, known for hits including “Killing Me Softly,” “Ready or Not,” and “Fu-Gee-La.”

The group disbanded in 1998, and Michel’s later attempts at reunions were overtaken by the legal case that now defines his public profile.

Ali Larter Walks London Premiere in Sheer Burgundy Look

Actress Ali Larter appeared at the London premiere of season two of “Landman,” wearing a sheer burgundy outfit that drew attention on the red carpet, as reported by The New York Post.

The event took place Nov. 16 at Cineworld Leicester Square, where Larter posed for photos in a burgundy bralette paired with a matching sheer cape.

She completed the look with coordinating slacks, heels, diamond-drop earrings, and several rings. Her hair was worn down.

Larter stars as Angela in “Landman,” the ex-wife of Billy Bob Thornton’s character. The role frequently places her on screen in bikinis and fitted wardrobe choices.

Earlier in production, Larter shared a mirror selfie on Instagram showing herself in a red bikini inside her trailer while filming the second season.

In the caption, she wrote that “playing a character that is so comfortable in her body drives me,” and described preparing for a bikini scene by waking up at 5:30 a.m., drinking celery juice and coffee, working out, and getting a spray tan.

Her appearance at the premiere followed comments she made in an interview with Fox News Digital about relocating from Los Angeles to Idaho with her husband, Hayes MacArthur.

Larter said she remains confident in her decision to leave Hollywood during the COVID-19 pandemic and explained how the move unfolded.

“We went for two months thinking that the kids’ schools would be reopened in California, and they weren’t,” she said. Larter explained that their children’s schools in Idaho were open, allowing their 6-year-old daughter to attend kindergarten during the spring semester.

“And that was a huge thing for us because we just wanted her to be around other children and have that kindergarten experience, and during that time we met some amazing families just organically by the school,” she added.

Larter said her family spent significant time together while living in Idaho, skiing, and settling into a different pace of life. After returning to Los Angeles for the summer, she realized that the demands of her career were becoming incompatible with the family-focused lifestyle she wanted.

She noted that acting in Los Angeles involves not only auditioning but being “expected to show up for so many things,” including events and charity functions.

Although she said she still loves Los Angeles and that her “heart will always be there,” Larter said the family sought a change. “We just didn’t want to do that. We wanna be with our children,” she said.

Larter said that after returning to Idaho later that year, the family committed to trying the move long-term.

“And so that’s when I think the biggest change was we came back after that summer, and we just made a go for it and said, ‘Let’s try this and see if it works.’”

Longtime Simpsons Favorite ‘Dies Suddenly’ in Church After 35 Seasons

/

Alice Glick, the longtime organist at Springfield’s First Church on “The Simpsons,” died during Sunday night’s Season 37 episode “Sashes to Sashes,” ending more than three decades of appearances on the animated series.

The episode showed the character collapsing in the middle of a sermon.

Glick first appeared in the Season 2 episode “Three Men and a Comic Book” in 1991 and remained part of the show for 34 years and 35 seasons.

She was originally voiced by Cloris Leachman before Tress MacNeille assumed the role following Leachman’s death in 2021.

Glick had previously been depicted as dying during Season 22 after being attacked by a Robopet, though she later returned in a mix of alive scenes and ghost appearances depending on the episode.

Executive producer Tim Long told People that the latest episode marks the end of the character’s run.

“In a sense, Alice the organist will live forever, through the beautiful music she made,” Long said.

“But in another, more important sense, yep, she’s dead as a doornail.”

Viewers reacted to the character’s death on social media.

“Oh my gosh,” one person wrote on X.

“Someone update The Simpsons wikis about Alice Glick.”

Another posted, “Rest In Peace Mrs. Glick!”

A third user commented, “I think it’s the second time they’ve killed Ms. Glick.”

Some fans pointed to similarities with the death of Larry “The Barfly” Dalrymple, who was written out in last year’s episode “Cremains of the Day.”

“1st Larry, now Alice Glick,” one viewer wrote.

“The Simpsons are killing off everyone…”

In September, co-executive producers Cesar Mazariegos and Jessica Conrad discussed the show’s approach to character deaths while addressing speculation about another character, music teacher Dewey Largo.

Conrad told TVLine that Mr. Largo was not killed off, adding, “For something like this, I would welcome the riling up if you actually believe that we would kill him off-camera.”

Mazariegos said the decision to remove Larry sparked extensive internal discussion.

“But we usually don’t want to get rid of our characters,” he said.

“And it’s such a cartoony world. We know even if Moleman is in a car that explodes, it doesn’t mean he’s dead forever.”

The series also faced criticism in June after killing off Marge Simpson in a flash-forward sequence in the Season 36 finale.

Executive producer Matt Selman defended the creative choice in comments to Variety, calling the backlash “ridiculous.”

He said the future-set events in that episode were speculative. “Marge will probably never be dead ever again,” he said.

Selman added, “The only place Marge is dead is in one future episode that aired six weeks ago. ‘The Simpsons’ doesn’t even have canon!”

Selman said the reaction showed that the show’s characters remain significant to audiences.

“I guess this speaks to the fact that people care about Marge,” he told the outlet.

“At the end of the day, it’s probably good for business even when these ridiculous, misleading stories go viral!”

“The Simpsons,” which premiered on Fox in 1989, is the longest-running animated show on television.

The network renewed the series for four additional seasons in April.

The program has won 37 Emmys during its run.

Keith Urban Performs at Mar-a-Lago Event Attended by President Trump

Keith Urban Performs at Mar-a-Lago Event Attended by President Trump

/

Country music star Keith Urban delivered a private performance at a Mar-a-Lago event attended by President Donald Trump over the weekend.

The party was hosted on Saturday by Australian billionaire Anthony Pratt, with Urban taking the stage for a brief set, as reported by Page Six.

Urban performed Chappell Roan’s “Pink Pony Club” and Bob Marley’s “Is This Love.” Clips described as “great” by an attendee were shared on Instagram following the event. President Trump, 79, was seen seated beside Pratt during the performance.

Reaction on social media was mixed, with some users praising the singer’s appearance at the event and others criticizing it. Representatives for Urban and Roan did not respond to requests for comment from Page Six.

Roan’s “Pink Pony Club” was inspired by The Abbey, a well-known gay bar in West Hollywood, California. Urban previously spoke about the song during an April appearance on “Intimate and Interactive,” saying he “almost cried” when he first heard it.

“Who doesn’t want to find a safe place, wherever that is?” he said. “You just want to find your people — doesn’t matter what that is, just somewhere where you finally realize you belong there.”

Urban has not publicly taken a political position. When asked in 2017 whether he would perform at the White House during Trump’s presidency, Urban said he preferred to answer such questions if they became relevant.

“I would like to probably answer that question when it comes up, but I’m a citizen, and I like to do what’s right,” he told The Hill at the time.

In 2024, during the race between President Trump and former Vice President Kamala Harris, Urban again avoided endorsing a candidate. “I’m often amazed that people don’t look to artists’ work — they’re pretty clear on who they are and their views, and I’m no different,” he told The Times.

“I play to extremely diverse audiences in every way, politically and pronoun, age groups, ethnicity.”

Urban was married to actress Nicole Kidman, who has also refrained from sharing political opinions publicly. Kidman said in a 2017 BBC News interview that she is “reticent” to discuss politics because she is an “issue-based” voter.

Urban and Kidman made headlines in September after announcing their separation following 19 years of marriage. The two share two children.

Kidman hinted at personal changes in a recent Vogue interview, saying, “How many times do you have to be taught that you think you know where your life is going and then it isn’t going in that direction?”

Neither Urban nor Kidman has issued a public statement addressing the breakup.

Liberal Radio Host Charlamagne Slams Media for Ignoring Bill Clinton’s Epstein Ties

/

A recent segment of The Breakfast Club featured Charlamagne the God and Morgyn Wood discussing media coverage surrounding Jeffrey Epstein and the public figures connected to him.

Charlamagne questioned why certain details involving former President Bill Clinton have received little attention in major news outlets.

“It’s just funny how the news works, because Bill Clinton, you know, wrote a letter to, you know, Jeffrey Epstein as well, for his birthday, but nobody’s talking about that,” Charlamagne said.

He also referenced imagery found in Epstein’s residence.

“And Jeffrey Epstein had a picture of Bill Clinton in the dress, in high heels, you know, in his New York mansion, but nobody’s talking about that.”

Charlamagne said that accountability should apply to all individuals implicated in the Epstein scandal, regardless of political affiliation.

“My thing is this, I don’t care who’s on the list, everybody got to go burn it all down. Like that’s just simple as that mutually assured destruction, whoever’s on that list need to go. Nobody needs to be protecting pedophiles. I don’t care what party.”

Morgyn Wood agreed that Clinton’s past position in the White House would likely have led to increased public examination.

“No period. And you know, to that point, though, you know Clinton is not the President right now. You know, if he was, you think that? Anyways, yeah, I think he would still be under scrutiny if he was the president right now.”

Charlamagne disagreed with that assessment and argued that the political leanings of major media outlets would have influenced the level of scrutiny.

“No, they wouldn’t, because the liberal media wouldn’t push the issue,” he said.

Joe Rogan and Adam Carolla Blast BBC for ‘Cooking’ Trump Speech to Push False Narrative

/

Comedians Joe Rogan and Adam Carolla criticized the BBC during an episode of “The Joe Rogan Experience” on Friday, focusing on an edit made to President Donald Trump’s January 6, 2021, speech in a recent installment of the network’s “Panorama” series.

The edit combined two separate lines from the speech delivered nearly an hour apart, creating the appearance that Trump had encouraged violence.

The BBC apologized to President Trump on Thursday for the edit but denied that the sequence met the standard for defamation.

Trump has demanded damages over the broadcast.

Rogan and Carolla argued on the podcast that the editing choice reflected bias and could not be dismissed as a simple mistake.

“They felt justified in editing something to make it look like he had a completely different sentence,” Rogan said.

Carolla said the edit undercut BBC’s denials of political bias.

“Well, the funny thing about it is whenever they confront the outgoing head who’s on the way out, they always go, ‘Yeah, we did this, but we’re not biased at all’ … it’s one or the other, bitch,” Carolla said.

“Yes, you are biased. And why did you do it? … By the way, you didn’t get the tape like this. You edited the tape like this. So that’s a calorie burner right there.”

The fallout from the broadcast led to resignations inside the BBC.

Director General Tim Davie and CEO of News Deborah Turness resigned on Sunday.

In her statement, Turness acknowledged that “mistakes have been made,” but she rejected allegations that the organization’s coverage reflected bias.

Rogan said the length of time between the two Trump remarks made the edit indefensible.

“It’s not a thing you could say you made a mistake when it’s literally 53, 54 minutes later he says the second part of the sentence,” Rogan said.

“That’s crazy.”

Carolla added that the edit damaged BBC’s credibility.

“Yeah. So you’re biased and you’re cooking it,” Carolla said.

“And that means we don’t need to listen to the BBC anymore.”

The edit in question combined Trump’s line, “We’re going to walk down to the Capitol,” with the later line, “We fight like hell.” In the full speech, Trump said, “We’re going to walk down to the Capitol, and we’re going to cheer on our brave senators and congressmen and women.”

The network has maintained that while the edit was inappropriate, it did not meet the legal threshold for defamation.
