45:55Now PlayingJoin Jim Acosta live for breaking news, with guests John Harwood and The Poynter Institute's Tom Jones.
John Harwood, the veteran Washington correspondent now writing The Stakes for Zeteo, tells Jim Acosta that Donald Trump is "not mentally well" after the president posted an AI-generated video of Iran's Kharg Island being "blown to smithereens" — an attack that never happened. Harwood also says Trump's post attacking anyone who opposes data centers as wanting to be "backwards and poor" is a tell about who he actually works for, and that if Trump ever started selling early access to his Truth Social posts, "data centers saw that post before anybody else." Then Poynter's Tom Jones joins to break down Trump's demand that the FCC punish NBC's Kristen Welker for accurately noting his endorsements have had mixed results, plus the Treasury Department blocking major newspapers from a G20 meeting — and Jim heads back down to the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool to check Trump's claim that it's "almost completely fixed."
