Newsmax host Rob Finnerty on Wednesday questioned Rep. James Comer (R-Ky.) over speculation that the Trump administration could attack Cuba after a recent Axios report about the threat of a drone strike. “And I’ll be honest ... to me, this just sounds like we’re trying to make the case to attack Cuba. I don’t buy it. It sounds like a false flag operation,” said Finnerty in his interview with the MAGA-friendly chair of the House Oversight Committee. “Would you support military action in Cuba if it came to that?” Finnerty’s “honest” on-air assessment came hours after Cuba’s former President Raúl Castro was indicted over a 1996 downing of planes operated by Miami-based exiles.

[...] Earlier in the interview, Finnerty asked Comer about “this Cuba thing,” pointing to Secretary of State Marco Rubio’s urging the Cuban people in Spanish on Wednesday to embrace a “new chapter” in their relationship with the U.S. “I get it. The ayatollah is gone. Nicolás Maduro is in jail. ... Look, I think people struggle with how this is America first when gas is $4.55 a gallon right now,” Finnerty said.

Comer told Finnerty that Cuba has always been a national security threat, and since Cubans “clearly want a regime change,” the country’s proximity to the U.S. presents a “strategic problem.” Finnerty chimed back in, “Do you really think that Cuba’s a threat?” Comer responded with a big “if.”

On Wednesday’s edition of Newsmax’s Finnerty, host Rob Finnerty presses Rep. James Comer (R-KY) on a potential attack on Cuba.

Jason Campbell at MMFA:

On the March 3 edition of Newsmax’s prime-time show Finnerty, host Rob Finnerty made some critical comments regarding President Donald Trump’s war with Iran. His remarks are surprising given Newsmax’s consistent stance of supporting Trump’s agenda and interests, and breaks with the general support for the war among other Newsmax’s prime-time hosts.  The first segment of Finnerty’s show presented a series of chyrons noting that the conflict is “not helping Trump’s popularity” and stating that there is “no real plan for ending” the war.  “Over 77 million Americans voted for Donald Trump because he was not only the America-first president, but for the first time we had a campaign where ‘no new wars’ became a central theme of an election,” the host declared, before playing clips of Trump, Vice President JD Vance, and Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard repeating that slogan on the campaign trail in 2024. Finerty continued, “And after 14 months, that is exactly what we have — a new war.”

KELLY SADLER (GUEST): It also shows you how the media is played by the deep state. All of this sourcing was anonymous.

ROB FINNERTY (HOST): Right.

SADLER: This was Jim Comey, who after all of this came out, opened Crossfire Hurricane, which was the investigation into President Trump and his collusion with Russia, which there was absolutely no evidence of at the time. But that's what gave him credence to go to the media anonymously and say, hey, he's a Russian agent. And they just ran with this story with these anonymous sources. They never checked it —

FINNERTY: Well they were thrilled to do it —

SADLER: And they all have Trump derangement syndrome.

FINNERTY: Jake Tapper, these people — you know what I think is interesting, too? It's like if somebody told you — if your doctor said, look, if you smoke another cigarette, you know, there's a chance you might not wake up tomorrow morning and you get out of the doctor's office and you light up in the car, OK?

Half of these anchors and these hosts, I mean, we can go through the list, but many of the people that propagated this for a decade no longer work in television. OK? Every time another one bites the dust and Stephen Colbert has a podcast, you know what I mean? It just keeps happening. Yet they keep doing the same thing.

People have criticized James Comer, alright? Who's been in charge of Oversight for a while now. People have criticized Jim Jordan because for whatever reason, it seems like Republicans get weak in the knees when it comes to actually going beyond investigation and recommending something to Department of Justice.

I think Comer played a role in Kamala losing the race and Joe Biden getting out of the race, ultimately. I think they've done a great job, and I think they need to keep their foot on the gas because I think they are the first Republicans that are actually relentlessly pursuing the truth.

Conover Kennard at Crooks and Liars:

Donald vowed to “immediately bring prices down, starting on day one” of his presidency, and on Truth Social, he specifically mentioned egg prices and grocery items while blaming Joe Biden. He also said, "We will make America affordable again because the prices are too high." He mentioned that that will happen "on day one." Instead, the prices for gas, groceries, cars, and eggs are skyrocketing. But Newsmax host Rob Finnerty said that Trump “can't magically lower gas prices, mortgage rates, food prices, inflation, or egg prices," and that you should "get over it," Media Matters reports. After bashing Democrats, including Nancy Pelosi, Finnerty said that Donald isn't a "magical wizard." "It's also important to point out that Donald Trump is not some magical wizard," he said. It took Joe Biden 48 months to ruin the country. Donald Trump can't just fix it in 48 days. He's not a wizard. He can't magically lower gas prices, mortgage rates, food prices, inflation, or egg prices." "And to Democrats worried about egg prices today, get over it," he added. "And why weren't you worried about the prices of everything else when your guy was in the Oval Office? Why suddenly now? And why egg prices?"

Newsmax host Rob Finnerty is out of touch by telling those complaining about the high cost eggs to “get over it.”

Travis Gettys at Raw Story:

A Newsmax anchor lavished praise on Donald Trump for acting like a "dictator" in the first days of his second presidency. Rob Finnerty began his prime-time program on the right-wing news network with effusive adulation of the newly inaugurated president, saying that Trump had already delivered on a number of campaign promises with a blizzard of executive orders dealing with immigration, government diversity initiatives and other conservative priorities. "I have no idea how Donald Trump does what he does," Finnerty said. "The man who was made for this job is doing exactly what he said he would do. Yes, Donald Trump was dictator on Day One, but a dictator that the American people voted for. They all asked for this and voted for this, and according to our border czar today, Tom Homan, over 300 criminal illegal aliens were arrested on Day One. It took one day, and did you hear anything negative about it? I didn't. Did you hear about roundups? Did you hear about ICE agents going into the ghettos and banging down doors? No, because that didn't happen, and that is exactly what the American people voted for, and if you don't believe me, just ask the only guy over at CNN that should work at Newsmax. There's real uniformity here, that's what I really think you see you see real uniformity."

On Wednesday’s edition of Newsmax’s Finnerty, host Rob Finnerty admitted that Donald Trump was a “dictator on day one” and gave praise to it.

Trump didn’t stop acting like a dictator on day two.
