Hollywood actor Vince Vaughn ripped into late-night shows for becoming far too political and driving away their audience.

Vaughn made the comments while being interviewed by comedian Theo Von on his podcast, “This Past Weekend.”

‘It felt like they had an agenda. It stopped being funny, and it started feeling like I was in f**king a class I didn’t want to take.’

Von blamed the falling ratings for late-night shows on the left-wing bias in the entertainment industry.

“Why a lot of the late shows have struggled, because all they did,” Von said, “the only person they could make fun of at a certain point was just white, redneck kind of people, and then everything tanked after that.”

“Think about that. They never get it right,” Vaughn replied. “The podcasts have gotten so much more popular with less production, less writers, less staff.”

“Oh yeah, we have two people working here, and both of them are hungover, and that one guy has shingles!” Von joked.

“Yeah, because people want authenticity,” Vaughn added. “I think that the talk shows, to a large part, became really agenda-based. They were going to [evangelize] people to what they thought. And so people just rejected it because it didn’t feel authentic. It felt like they had an agenda. It stopped being funny, and it started feeling like I was in f**king a class I didn’t want to take.”

He went on to tie the low ratings directly to entertainers’ politics.

“But if you look at what happened to the talk shows and why their ratings are low, it’s got only to do with the fact of what you just said, which is they all became the same show. And they all became so about their politics and who’s good and who’s bad,” Vaughn said.

“And it’s like, imagine sitting next to someone who’s like that on a f**king plane! Bro, you’d be like, ‘How do I get out of this f**king seat!'” Vaughn added.

Video of Vaughn’s comments was posted to social media, where it garnered more than 1.6 million views in less than a day.

Vaughn, who has previously identified as a libertarian, said he escaped being ostracized in Hollywood by simply being honest without attacking people who disagree.

“If you’re constantly worried what someone else thinks of you and you’re only around them a couple hours a day, you’re miserable most of the time. You’ve got to … find the way to be yourself but be respectful.”

California Governor Gavin Newsom (D) posted a bizarre message trying to mock President Donald Trump but instead was crushed by online mockery.

The post referenced an online joke that compared Newsom to the Patrick Bateman character, a sadistic serial killer in the popular film “American Psycho.”

‘Can’t decide if he’s the most or least self aware person alive.’

“For so many years people have been saying that Patrick Bateman and I look alike. Now this pic has been going all over the place. What do you think?” he wrote, with an image comparing the two men.

Newsom was referring to a post from the president using the same wording but comparing himself to rock ‘n’ roll icon Elvis Presley. Trump was visiting Graceland, the theme park former residence of Elvis.

Then the backlash hit the governor.

“I think yes, you are a psychopath,” commentator Bridget Phetasy said.

“Newsom seeing the Patrick Bateman comparisons and treating it like a looks question. That tracks,” GOP strategist Erin Maguire responded.

“This dude is so narcissistic it boggles the mind,” podcaster Mikhaila Peterson replied.

“Well he was a sociopathic narcissist and a douchbag in that movie so I think that’s probably the similarity people are seeing,” another popular response reads.

“Can’t decide if he’s the most or least self aware person alive,” another popular response reads.

“He played a narcissistic psychopath serial killer! Who in the hell is running this account?!” activist April Silverman replied.

“Everyone is commenting on how insane it is that he is embracing the psychopath image, but I haven’t seen anyone point out that he altered his photo so that he doesn’t have a pencil neck,” attorney Laura Powell said.

Newsom’s post garnered more than 4.5 million views after getting ridiculed.

The landscape of college basketball is changing, and after noticing a larger amount of standout white players flooding the courts during this year’s NCAA Tournament, BlazeTV host Jason Whitlock has a theory as to why that is.

“The same thing that’s going on in the NBA is going on in college basketball. You got Nikola Jokic and Luka Doncic and Cooper Flagg running around everywhere all over college basketball,” Whitlock begins.

“This is the exciting whites storming the NCAA Tournament, and no one wants to talk about it. No one wants to know how we got here. Let me go a cut deeper about what’s going on here as well because it’s not just the players,” he says, pointing out that there are no black American coaches in the Sweet 16.

“Kelvin Sampson, we’ll claim him as a coach of color. You guys know Kelvin Sampson’s one of my favorite people. He’s Native American, but things have gotten so bad for black coaches that we have to pretend like Kelvin Sampson is a black American coach. He’s not,” he continues.

Whitlock believes none of this will be discussed because “it’s all connected to a bigger issue in the black community” that he points out is off limits.

“And that’s the fact that there’s a leadership problem in black America. And that’s because black America has a matriarchal culture. We’re led by women. Women are not great leaders. Period. End of story,” he explains.

“They keep shoving it and slamming it down your throats that these queens, black and white, and particularly lesbians, they’re great leaders. They’re just like men. And I keep telling you all, look at what’s happening to black America,” he continues.

“That’s the take today that no one else is going to make or give you or ask you to marinate on. But it is so crystal clear and so obvious,” he adds.

Police in Covington, Tennessee, on Monday said they responded to the 1400 block of South College Street in regard to a harassment complaint.

Arriving officers spoke to the 26-year-old victim who stated that she was showering and noticed she was being recorded on video, officials said.

‘We are working with DCS to identify all victims in this investigation and provide protective and medical services for these children.’

The victim identified the suspect as 22-year-old Deondre Dyson, who also resides at the residence and allegedly was outside the victim’s window when the incident occurred, officials said.

Officers found Dyson at the residence and escorted him to the police department’s Criminal Investigations Division for interviewing, officials said.

Soon after Dyson provided detectives with consent to search his phone, detectives uncovered a “disturbing video of Dyson allegedly engaging in a sexual act with a 3-year-old toddler,” officials said.

Detectives determined the recording occurred at a residence in Lauderdale County, officials said.

Soon detectives contacted authorities with the Lauderdale County Sheriff’s Office, who launched a child sexual abuse investigation related to the video, officials said.

Dyson admitted to his role in the videos of both victims, officials said.

Detectives arrested Dyson and took him to the Tipton County Jail, officials said, adding that Dyson has been formally charged with unlawful photography and sexual exploitation of a child.

Tipton County General Sessions Judge M.O. Eckel III held Dyson in jail awaiting his arraignment, officials said.

Detectives anticipate additional charges after analysts finalize the forensic review of the electronic evidence, officials said.

“This is a troubling investigation on multiple levels. We are working with DCS to identify all victims in this investigation and provide protective and medical services for these children,” Covington Police Chief Donna Turner said, according to officials. “This case started with an adult but due to the thorough investigation by our detectives, an alleged monster was uncovered.”

Those with information related to this investigation are encouraged to contact the Covington Police Department Criminal Investigations Division at 901-475-1261. Tips may also be submitted via Facebook Messenger at Covington TN Police Department or through the City of Covington website.
