Recently, on Fox News’ “The Five,” tensions flared during a segment discussing the presidential campaigns of Joe Biden and former president Donald Trump. Co-hosts Jesse Watters and Jessica Tarlov found themselves in a heated exchange when Watters offered his views on the Biden administration.
Watters highlighted various challenges facing Biden’s campaign, incIuding dissatisfaction among Americans with the current state of the economy. Additionally, he criticized Biden for seeking endorsements from cultural figures like Taylor Swift, characterizing it as a sign of desperation.
Referencing a New York Times report on Biden’s reelection strategy, Watters remarked, “Nothing to do with each other. I read this article in The New York Times, this is the Biden reelection strategy, are you ready? Don’t run on ‘Bidenomics’, leave the White House more than once a week, ask Bill and Barack to raise money for you and hope a pop star endorses you. Jessica, this is not the reelection strategy of a winning campaign.”
In response, Tarlov brought up the E. Jean Carroll controversy invoIving Trump. She referenced a recent New York jury decision ordering Trump to pay over $83 million in damages to Carroll for defamation related to her se**al assault accusations.
Watters countered by expressing his desire for Swift’s endorsement, adding, “I love that you ignored what I just said. Because that was the news from the weekend on that side. And then Joe Biden was 15 minutes—“
The panel continued to spar, with TarIov pressing Watters on the Carroll case verdict. Trump, meanwhile, voiced his disagreement with the jury’s decision, stating his intention to appeal the case and criticizing what he perceived as a politicized legal system.
“Absolutely ridiculous! I fully disagree with both verdicts, and will be appealing this whole Biden Directed Witch Hunt focused on me and the Republican Party. Our LegaI System is out of control, and being used as a Political Weapon. They have taken away all First Amendment Rights. THIS IS NOT AMERICA!” Trump remarked regarding the legal proceedings
Billy Connolly shared his thoughts about Robin Williams’ devastating farewell remarks ten years after the actor’s untimely death
The fact that the legendary Robin Williams died ten years ago is astounding. The late actor was a titan of the film business, a hilarious actor with almost no competition, whose death left a lasting impact on society. His death was undoubtedly the result of unfortunate circumstances, and his legacy continues to be profound.
That people are still talking about his life and legacy and that many of them conjecture about what may have occurred if his fortune and destiny had turned out differently should not come as a surprise.
The last words William ever said to him were relayed by Billy Connolly, a comedian and close friend of the actor, over ten years after the untimely death of the Good Will Hunting star. and they’re exactly as heartwarming as you might anticipate… It’s true that humor and Robin Williams go hand in hand.
Throughout his colorful career, Williams became one of the funniest men to have ever graced our screens. Ten years after his death, people are still laughing at the comedy he created, which combines gut-busting hilarity with strange, wonderful, flawed, and fabulous characters.
However, tragedy also plagued Williams’ life in this instance, to the extent that the actor believed life was not worth living at all. On August 11, 2014, Williams, 63, was found dead at home; it appeared that he had committed suicide.
Williams had issues like alcoholism despite enjoying great success in his acting career. In 2014, Williams spent three weeks at the Hazelden facility in Minnesota in an effort to deepen his commitment to recovery.
According to reports, the Jumanji actor battled alcoholism and cocaine abuse in the early 1980s until giving up when his pal John Belushi passed away from an overdose in 1982. Following his passing in 2014, the late Hollywood icon’s representative stated that he had been “battling severe depression.” His wife Susan Schneider subsequently revealed further information on his demise, including the fact that he had only been diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease a few months before he passed away.
Williams had Lewy body dementia (LBD), which resulted in significant alterations to his personality, mobility, temperament, memory, reasoning, sleep patterns, and mood, according to the results of an autopsy.
Needless to say, Williams’ passing had a terrible effect on a lot of people, including his closest friends and family.
One figure who definitely belonged in the first category was Sir Billy Connolly, who has been diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease. When asked what he would have done differently if he had known Williams intended to commit suicide, the comedian and actor said, “You have to give a guy the position that he’s wise enough to make up his own mind.” Connolly stated, “I don’t think so,” in response to the topic of whether or not he would have tried to save his own life.
The 81-year-old Connolly also revealed that he and Williams had talked on the phone a lot about their experiences with Parkinson’s disease and would often express how much they loved and cared for each other. When Connolly appeared on the BBC program In My Own Words, he discussed his relationship with Williams.
The week before Williams passed suddenly, he said, the actor had called to ask him to dinner. “I love you,” he remarked to me over dinner when he called and said, “Let’s have dinner.” Connolly thought back to their last dinner together. I conveyed my appreciation. He said, “Do you believe me?” “Obviously, I do,” I remarked. “You have my undying love,” he declared. That was great, in my opinion.
My initial thought was, “How strange, how strange for him to say that, it’s not like him normally.” Connolly said, “He died during the weekend. I hope you find peace, Robin Williams.
