US President Donald Trump has stormed out of an NBC interview, calling the network and mainstream media "crooked".
US President Donald Trump has stormed out of an NBC interview, calling the network and mainstream media "crooked".
Let’s start with the big one. Donald Trump sat down with NBC News anchor Kristen Welker for what was supposed to be a wide-ranging interview on Meet the Press. It did not go well for him, and by the end, he called Welker “crooked,” ripped off his microphone, and stormed off the set. It was a complete crash out.
The interview covered Iran, U.S. troops in the Middle East, American hostages, the impact of tariffs on American farmers, and election fraud claims. Trump grew increasingly unhinged throughout, and Welker, to her credit, kept pressing him with basic, straightforward questions that he simply could not answer.
On Iran, Trump said he plans to resolve the situation either through a deal or by blowing them “the hell up.” He also warned that Iran cannot be allowed to get a nuclear weapon, going so far as to say that if they did, there would be no more NBC, no more Meet the Press. I mean, what is he talking about? His own intelligence community said Iran did not have nuclear weapons capability. Now he’s out here threatening NBC with nuclear annihilation? This is how far gone he is.
He also praised the new Iranian Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei, calling him “younger and more rational” and expressing willingness to meet with him. This from the same guy who, moments earlier, was threatening to blow Iran off the map. The whiplash is remarkable. It’s giving Kim Jong Un love letters all over again — and we all saw how much good that did.
When Welker asked whether Trump had kept his campaign promise of no new wars, he flatly said he never promised anything. He didn’t promise anything. Okay. So all those rallies, all those speeches, none of that counts apparently.
Welker also pressed him on why, if he’s such a great dealmaker, he never finalized an Iran nuclear deal during his entire first term after tearing up Obama’s agreement. Trump’s answer was that it takes years to do these things and it has only been three months. So now the war could take years? Making a deal could take years? His first term was four years. Where’s the deal? Where are the 90 trade deals in 90 days he promised? Where is any deal, in writing, anywhere? There isn’t one, because the whole dealmaker persona is a fraud.
On American hostages potentially held by Iran, Trump said nobody really has an accurate list of who they are or whether they’re even being held. He’s the president of the United States. He’s been conducting military operations against Iran. And he’s telling us he doesn’t know who the hostages are. He told Welker that if she gave him the names, he’d do his best.
On farmers: when Welker cited a statistic that 70% of farmers say they cannot afford fertilizer because of tariffs, Trump said the farmers are doing very well. That’s it.
The whole thing finally came apart when the conversation turned to election fraud. Trump claimed the 2020 election was rigged and that fraud is currently happening in California. When Welker asked if he had evidence, he said, “All I have to do is look.” She pushed back. He called her crooked and stupid, then got up and left
Lisa Kennedy recently married Fred in Hawaii: Who is the Fox News star’s new husband?
Lisa Kennedy recently married Fred in Hawaii: Who is the Fox News star’s new husband?
Fox News personality Lisa “Kennedy” Montgomery has entered a new chapter in her personal life after marrying Fred in a beautiful outdoor ceremony in Hawaii.
Kennedy shared photographs from the celebration at the Four Seasons Resort Lanai, giving followers a glimpse of the man she now calls her husband and the friends who joined them for the occasion.
“Married the love of my life at the Four Seasons Lanai in a Heidi Merrick dress drenched in sunshine and aloha,” Kennedy wrote. “I love you forever, Fred!!”
While Kennedy has been open about how much Fred means to her, she has kept many details about her new husband firmly outside the public spotlight.
Kennedy and Fred celebrate their marriage in Hawaii
The couple exchanged vows during an outdoor ceremony overlooking the Pacific Ocean.
Kennedy wore a sparkling white Heidi Merrick gown with a fitted silhouette, completing her bridal look with a veil and colorful tropical bouquet. Fred wore a light-blue suit with a white shirt, light-colored tie and brown shoes. The newlyweds also wore traditional Hawaiian leis.
Photographs showed Kennedy and Fred walking hand in hand as guests applauded, with the bride raising her bouquet in celebration. Another captured them cutting their multi-tiered wedding cake against a backdrop of palm trees, ocean views and the evening sky.
The wedding announcement became a major moment among Kennedy’s followers, receiving more than 154,000 likes and nearly 2,000 comments.
Several familiar Fox News personalities were also part of the celebration. Emily Compagno, Abby Hornacek and Alexis McAdams were among the recognizable guests photographed in Hawaii.
Emily later wrote that they had the “best time celebrating Kennedy and Fred’s marriage,” adding, “The Fox family showed up for our favorite girl.”
Who is Kennedy’s husband, Fred?
Despite the attention surrounding their wedding, Fred remains largely a private figure.
Based on what Kennedy has publicly shared, his surname, profession and detailed background have not been revealed. Even when announcing her marriage, Kennedy continued referring to her husband simply as Fred.
What she has shared, however, offers some insight into how unexpectedly their relationship entered her life.

Kennedy discussed Fred publicly when announcing their engagement on The Five in December 2025. She revealed that he had proposed on December 10 and said the two had met recently and “unexpectedly.”
During the emotional on-air conversation, Kennedy described the impact their meeting had on her life.
“He is the most beautiful, wonderful human being,” she said. “And I had totally given up until those elevator doors opened and I met him out of the blue — he changed my life.”
Kennedy has not provided additional details about exactly where that first meeting occurred or the circumstances surrounding it.
Their relationship began before the public announcement
Although viewers did not learn about the engagement until December 2025, Kennedy revealed another detail suggesting Fred had quietly been part of her life for some time.
She told her The Five colleagues that she had secretly brought him to the Fox Christmas party the previous year.
“I snuck him in. Don’t tell security,” Kennedy joked during the conversation.
That revelation indicated the couple had already been seeing each other by at least December 2024, even though Kennedy had kept the relationship away from public attention.
Dana Perino was among those particularly moved by the engagement news.
Perino recalled learning about it while Kennedy was appearing on America’s Newsroom, telling her colleague that the announcement had made her cry.
“And Fred is such a wonderful guy,” Perino said before telling Kennedy, “I cried because I’m so happy for you.”
From a private romance to a Hawaiian wedding
Kennedy continued keeping Fred’s personal details private even as she became more open about their relationship.
That approach remained evident at their wedding. While she shared numerous photographs of their special day and publicly expressed her love for her new husband, she did not use the occasion to reveal his surname, career or other biographical information.
Instead, Kennedy kept the attention on their marriage and the happiness surrounding it.
The couple received congratulations from numerous familiar names, including Kat Timpf, Janice Dean, Sandra Smith, Griff Jenkins, Abby Hornacek and Meghan McCain.
For followers who had watched Kennedy announce her engagement months earlier, the Hawaiian ceremony provided the next chapter in a relationship that had largely developed outside the public eye.
What is publicly known about Fred remains limited, but Kennedy has made one thing unmistakably clear: she considers him the man who unexpectedly entered her life, changed it and ultimately became her husband.
From secretly attending a Fox Christmas party together to an emotional engagement announcement and finally exchanging vows beside the Pacific Ocean, Kennedy and Fred have now made their commitment official — while continuing to keep much of their story between themselves.
