Pete Hegseth was asked about JD Vance blaming the Iran war for why Republicans lost and Hegseth threw him under the bus as part of it and then complimented Marco Rubio:
HEGSETH: “The Vice President has been a critical member of the team during every aspect of this… te well, it is not necessarily popular but it may have been necessary and that is how I feel it was necessary under taking.”

Scott would need to give up full creative control of his platform, like anyone would, to interview Beyoncé. She is hyper sensitive about her image and narrative. It won’t be the authentic interviews we’re used to because nothing about Bey is impromptu.
In a new interview with Out, House Guest host Scott Evans named Beyoncé as one of his top dream guests for the series.
“I’m not gonna try to play like I don’t want it… but Beyoncé! Like, what are we doing? Bring Blue Ivy. Bring her! Let’s do it!” he said. Evans noted that while t through her music, “it’s been years since we’ve had a more comprehensive, sit-down kind of interaction with Queen Bey,” and he’s eager to have that conversation at his home.

This press run was exhausting. Necessary, but exhausting.
Taraji P. Henson asked for $500,000 to play Brad Pitt's mother. She got $150,000 and says about $30,000 of it was left. The movie made $335 million.
In the video below, Gayle King asks if she's quitting acting. Taraji covers her face and cries before she can say a word. Then she
In 2008 she was third on the call sheet for The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, behind Pitt and Cate Blanchett. Her 2016 memoir says she'd been promised "somewhere in the mid six figures." At a 2023 SAG-AFTRA event she said she asked for $500,000 and was first offered $100,000.
It came up to $150,000 with a condition. She had to cover three months of New Orleans hotel bills herself. "Insult, meet injury," she wrote.
On The Real she did the sum. Half the $150,000 went to taxes. Her team took 30% of the full fee, $45,000. That left $30,000, and her son's school tuition that year was $30,000. "Literally, for five months, that's what I made."
The memoir puts her pay at less than 2% of what the studio paid the top name on that call sheet, Pitt.
She got an Oscar nomination for the role. Fifteen years later she said she almost walked away from The Color Purple over pay. That same month she told Gayle King: "Every time I do something and I break another glass ceiling, when it's time to renegotiate, I'm at the bottom again."
The case for the studio: Pitt sold the tickets, and she doesn't dispute his money. "They deserve to earn what they get," she said of Pitt and Blanchett.
Her side: "I too worked my ass off, and at the time I couldn't say no. I didn't have any power."
$335 million at the box office. An Oscar nomination. One year of school fees.
Every day, one star's real paycheck.
Was that Hollywood paying for box office power, or paying a Black woman less because it could?

I want to share a brief update.
My presidential memoir, PROMISE ME, AMERICA, is coming out on November 17th. I hope you'll read it. It covers my years as President. The challenges we faced, the decisions I made, and why I made them. It's about who we are as a nation. What we stand for. And America's role in the world. More than anything, it's about my faith in the American people and the great American experiment in self-governance and democracy.
While writing the book, I was diagnosed with cancer, a disease known all too well to millions of Americans and their families. My doctors continue to be encouraged by how I've responded to treatment. And the prayers and kind words and well wishes from so many of you have meant more to me and Jill and our family than you can ever know.
Some days are better than others. It hasn't stopped me. But sometimes it slows me down. What that means is, unfortunately, I won’t be able to do as many conversations about my book as I’d hoped. However, I’m hopeful the words on the page speak for themselves.
Looking forward, I'm going to keep following what my father told me a long time ago: "Champ, when you get knocked down, get up." It's a good lesson for me. And for America.
We are blessed. America is the most unique nation on earth. Unlike other countries, we're built on an idea. An idea bigger than any ocean. More powerful than any army. Stronger than any tyrant or dictator. That idea? All of us are created equal.
Promise Me, America, we'll never forget it.

We cannot turn a blind eye to the fact that there are children who do not go to school. We cannot silence our conscience when we see a mother lacking the means to feed her children. We cannot ignore the many people around us who are suffering, alone and vulnerable. We need to commit ourselves to the charity and closeness of the Good Samaritan who did not remain indifferent upon seeing misfortune, but took responsibility for his brother’s life. (Lk 10:29-37) #ApostolicJourney #Uruguay
