Growing increasingly irate, @NBCNews political director Chuck Todd (who claims to be a non-biased "referee") yells at Sen. Barrasso (R-WY) for pointing out precedent and for doing what Democrats would undoubtedly do if they had both the WH and Senate: fill the vacant SCOTUS seat.
When Senator Barrasso again mentioned the Biden Rule, Todd screamed at his guest: "What are you-- there is no Biden Rule!"
Refusing to apply the same standard to Dems who were against filling SCOTUS seats in election years before they were for it and before they were against it again, Todd called Barrasso a hypocrite: "Whatever you're saying today will change depending on the politics at the moment?"
Claiming he understood what average Americans thought, Todd (who rented a house to Sen. Amy Klobuchar (D-MN)) denounced Senate Republicans as hypocrites with "caveats." Still no mention of the Democrats' flip-flop-flip on filling SCOTUS vacancies in elections years.
In between outbrusts at Sen. Barrasso, Todd would sit there and make faces at him. Here's a sampling:

Megyn Kelly presses Jake Tapper on his very obvious and very willful role in the cover up President Biden's cognitive decline.
Tapper deflects, puts it on his sources and the existential threat of Trump, and filibusters.
Eventually, he claims he feels "tremendous humility" and notes his shouting match with Lara Trump: "She saw something I didn't see at the time...I own that."
Kelly grills Tapper: "When you sat with him again...You didn't ask him about it. You didn't follow up on the fact that he was falling up the stairs, he was losing his train of thought regularly, that he was slurring, that he was incomprehensible, that he was getting lost in the White House lawn. You sat right across from him and you asked none of that."
"That's true, but I did ask him about this age," Tapper sheepishly admitted. He further defends his journalistic malpractice by saying: "It's not like I was asking him his favorite movie or his favorite color."
"I mean, time and time again when issues came up, you seem to be running cover for the President, you didn't seem interested," Kelly called him out.
Tapper can be heard getting angry.
She confronts him with his screaming match with Lara Trump: "Do you want to apologize to Lara Trump now?"
"I already apologized to her. I called her months ago," he claimed without evidence.
"You seem to try to humiliate her," Kelly adds and points out Tapper's hypocrisy where he now diagnosis Biden's cognitive decline.

Whoopi condescendingly directs her hate toward White House Press Secretary @karolineleavitt for denouncing wokeness. Shouting at her: "This young lady whose - this is her first job, I would like her to do a little homework. She said something yesterday that pissed me off...Let me explain something to you because without that wokeness, you might not have that job!...The wokeness was put in place for a reason!...Please please stop using that phrase to talk about because you don't understand what you're saying!"
Whoopi, who tried to scare people to vote for Kamala by falsely claiming Trump was going to redistribute white spouses from interracial marriages, says she's worried that the expanded White House press pool will be "state-run news" and would "feel a lot better" if there were "standards people have to meet."
@karolineleavitt Here's Whoopi making her bonkers claim about Trump redistributing white spouses from intraradical marriages.

I'm inside the Bay County, Florida Courthouse for Day Ten of the $1 billion defamation trial of Zachary Young v. CNN. You can watch the proceedings live with the video stream below in the quoted post or follow along with my live posts in the thread below.
I don't think it's going to be a hung jury.
Their demeanor last night wasn't that of a jury bitter and angry at each other, indicative of a hung jury. They seemed to be more hangry and stayed well past what they were asked once they were promised food.
There's a knock and a note

I'm inside the Bay County, Florida Courthouse for Day Seven of the $1 billion defamation trial of Zachary Young v. CNN.
You can watch the proceedings live with the video stream below in the quote post or follow along with my live posts.
Currently the counsels are arguing about including the testimony of a Mr. Otto.
CNN's lead counsel David Axelrod is now asking for Mr. Otto's face to not be shown. He allegedly has a fatwa against him from the Taliban.
Judge Henry is saying this should have been brought up at the pro-trial conference meeting.

I'm inside the Bay Country, Florida Courthouse for Day Two of the $1 billion defamation trial of Zachary Young v. CNN.
Judge William Scott Henry is currently reading the instructions to the jury about the nature of what will be argued before them.
Opening arguments from both sides will happen today and testimony from U.S. Navy veteran Zachary Young is also expected.
Thank you to @LawCrimeNetwork for being the pool camera feed!
"The facts didn't matter"
Opening arguments begin with one of Young's lawyers, Kyle Roche telling the jury about how CNN approached telling the story about Young.
He says CNN ignored the facts told to them about how Young ran his extraction operations in Afghanistan.
"CNN felt they had a sensational story that would drive ratings and they didn't care about the truth," Roche said. "CNN chose theater over truth and destroyed the life of an American Patriot."
