‘That’s The Clean Technique’: Ari Fleischer Uses Whiteboard To Offer Trump Three Points Of Debate Advice
Former White House press secretary Ari Fleischer offered President Donald Trump some unsolicited debate advice during a Wednesday morning segment of “Fox & Friends.” Trump drew fire after the debate for consistently interrupting both Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden as well as moderator Chris Wallace. In criticizing both sides, Fleischer called the entire debate a “train wreck” with “too much interrupting by candidates.” After Fleischer finished weighing in on the overall debate during the panel segment, Fox News host Steve Doocy asked him if he had a whiteboard somewhere around to offer Trump some advice. “I have no idea how you knew that,” Fleisher asked, laughing. “You are clairvoyant. I happen to have one.” WATCH: “Here’s my advice on the next debate,” Fleischer continued. “One, interrupt less. It’s perfectly fine at key moments to jump in.

Tom Brady issues annual retirement, definitely ending all 49ers rumors
BradyWatch is at least temporarily paused in the Bay Area. Tom Brady claimed on Wednesday that he's retiring, on the exact one-year anniversary of the first time he did that. "I'm retiring, for good," he said in a video posted Wednesday morning . "Won't be long-winded, you only get one super emotional retirement essay, and I used mine up last year," he joked. Brady said he was retiring on Feb. 1, 2022, only to reverse the decision less than six weeks later and return for a 23rd season with the Bucs. He never filed official retirement papers in that case. Brady does have a 10-year, $375 million contract waiting for him at Fox if he retires for real this time. The second the 49ers were eliminated (and Brock Purdy suffered a potentially career-altering elbow injury ), a flurry of rumors and speculation connected Brady to San Francisco. One NFL executive predicted Brady would sign with the Niners , while reporters for the Washington Post and Athletic openly ruminated … [Read more...] about Tom Brady issues annual retirement, definitely ending all 49ers rumors

Trump won’t become president again, Russian pundit declares
Donald Trump will not re-enter the White House in 2024, a guest on Russian state television has said. In a clip posted by Russian Media Monitor's Julia Davis, American-born journalist Michael Bohm appeared on Russian state television to dismiss the former president's chances of stepping back into the White House. "Trump won't become president [again]," Bohm told a fellow guest, who had referenced the former president's claims that he could end the Ukraine war within 24 hours. "We have no illusions," Margarita Simonyan, the editor-in-chief of RT, formerly known as Russia Today, then said. Sergey Stankevich, listed in the clip as a political scientist, then chimed in that "it was pointed out that there are some sober voices, including those on the American side."

‘S.N.L.’ Gives Comic Voice to the Downed Chinese Spy Balloon
The downing of a Chinese spy balloon on Saturday afternoon ended America’s fixation on the balloon’s days-long journey across United States airspace and provided “Saturday Night Live” with irresistibly topical subject matter for its opening sketch just a few hours later. This weekend’s “S.N.L.” broadcast, hosted by Pedro Pascal and featuring the musical guest Coldplay, started with a sendup of an MSNBC broadcast anchored by Chloe Fineman, playing the TV journalist Katy Tur. “Tonight, our long national nightmare is over,” Fineman said. “We got the balloon.” She introduced a Pentagon official played by Kenan Thompson, who explained how the balloon was eventually brought down. “The balloon was somehow able to get past our West Coast anti-balloon defense system, the Seattle Space Needle,” Thompson said. “But once it was here, we were able to keep an eye on it with our sophisticated tracking technology.
