Chris Kluwe’s anti-MAGA protest cost him more than a few hours in a jail cell … his passionate city council outburst also led to his firing from his high school coaching job!

The former Vikings punter revealed he received termination papers from Edison High School on Wednesday — days after he was arrested and charged with disturbance of an assembly — following his rant against MAGA at a Huntington Beach council meeting.

“I’m bummed that I won’t get to work with the kids anymore, because they always got excited when they figured out I played in the NFL, and I think this exemplifies what MAGA is all about,” Kluwe told TMZ Sports on Friday.

“They don’t care about harming the community as long as they can make themselves look good. It’s happening here in HB, and it’s happening nationally across our country.”

Kluwe — who had been coaching the SoCal-located Edison H.S. team since 2019 — said he’s received support from at least one parent … who reached out to express displeasure over his canning.

As for his future on the sidelines, Kluwe told us he’s unsure about his coaching going forward, noting his goal was always to coach at a higher level. He says he was waiting for his kids to finish school first.

Kluwe says he’ll use the time off to continue advocating … “because that’s what I’ve always done.”

Whether he advocates as a citizen or elected politician is still unclear. Last week Kluwe told us multiple people from the Democrat party reached out in an effort to convince him to run.

President Trump gave Volodymyr Zelensky the boot from the White House after their explosive argument in front of the world, TMZ has confirmed.

White House sources tell TMZ … President Trump asked his Ukrainian counterpart to leave after Trump and the two butted heads live on international TV in the Oval Office on Friday.

Moments later, FOX News journalist Jacqui Heinrich took to the airwaves and reported Trump’s delegation told him he had to go home, pronto!

Heinrich said Trump “felt disrespected” by Zelensky’s mannerisms during their fiery discussion over the Russia-Ukraine war.

Heinrich noted Trump was pissed about Zelensky’s shrugging and eye-rolling, as well as his lack of respect and appreciation for the help America has given his country, especially during their battle with Russia.

Trump invited Zelensky to the White House today to try to broker a deal for Ukraine’s rare earth minerals. But, their meeting quickly devolved into a shouting match over the war that has claimed the lives of hundreds of thousands of Russian and Ukrainian people.

After their disastrous sit-down, Trump jumped on his Truth Social platform and wrote that Zelensky is not ready for peace. Trump added Zelensky can only return to the White House when he wants peace.

Zelensky then posted to X that he was thankful for the support of the United States, namely “POTUS, Congress and the American people.”

This all comes a week after Trump called Zelensky a “dictator” and blamed Ukraine for starting the war with Russia … when, in fact, this week marks the 3-year anniversary of Russia launching its invasion of Ukraine.

Elon Musk ain’t apologizing for his controversial hand motion after Donald Trump was inaugurated … instead, he’s doubling down with a series of Nazi jokes that almost certainly won’t tone down the criticism of the mogul.

The Trump ally and tech entrepreneur stopped by “The Joe Rogan Experience” for an episode published Friday … and, during the chat he opened up about liberals and others claiming he was giving a Nazi salute at Trump’s inauguration in January.

Remember, Musk drew ugly comparisons when he pointed his right hand in the air — much like a Heil Hitler salute … though he claims he was just saying his heart goes out to the audience. Now, he says he did “not see” the backlash coming.

He runs the words “not” and “see” together — making it sound like “Nazi” — before flashing a smile at the host … who busts up laughing at the wordplay.

In case anyone thought it was just an accident, EM doubles down … adding people will just “Goebbel” anything up — a second Nazi reference, this time to the WWII Nazi Germany propaganda minister Joseph Goebbels — and a repeat of the same joke he tweeted the week of the inauguration in the wake of fresh criticism.

Elon then gets serious … saying he found the whole backlash unbelievable — especially since he says he meant the gesture, which he maintains was not a Nazi salute, in a positive, loving way.

Obviously, Musk has been in the news a ton recently … working closely with President Donald Trump to slash government spending — mainly by closing departments they deem unnecessary.

Newly sworn-in FBI Director Kash Patel wants his org to kick some serious ass … with reports stating he’s considering bringing in UFC trainers to work with agents!!

According to Reuters, Patel suggested the idea in a video conference with supervisors on Wednesday. In the call, he proposed establishing a formal relationship with Dana White‘s promotion to fine-tune agents’ self-defense skills.

The idea may seem a bit odd … and that’s how it’s being received by at least a few agents, who said it was “surreal” and “wacky,” according to the outlet.

Unclear if UFC’s interested in the partnership … but White would seemingly be on board, as he’s a big supporter and friend of President Donald J. Trump.

In fact, POTUS has hit up plenty of UFC events during his time … including an outing at 302 at the Prudential Center back in June, which was met with a roaring ovation.

That being said, Patel’s dream could certainly become a reality with one phone call.

Some police departments have had similar help from combat sports … using Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu to work on grappling techniques to help officers detain criminals.

One source pointed out to the outlet that agents already get training for physical altercations … so some see it as a flashy way to get Trump’s buddies involved.

The man pardoned by President Donald Trump for his January 6 crimes was caught on camera threatening to shoot himself after getting into a heated altercation with a sheriff’s deputy who ended up firing several rounds, killing the man.

Check out the video … the incident went down on January 26 when Matthew Huttle was pulled over by a deputy in Jasper County, Indiana, for going 70 MPH in a 55 MPH zone, according to law enforcement.

The Jasper County Sheriff’s deputy gets out of his patrol vehicle and approaches Huttle, who emerges from his SUV. The deputy explains to Huttle that he’s a “habitual traffic violator with a suspended license” and is going to be arrested after his speeding infraction.

Huttle shakes his head and tells the deputy he can’t go to jail. The deputy informs him he has to be taken into custody because he committed a felony crime. This triggers Huttle, sending him rushing to the driver’s side of his SUV. He throws open the door and jumps behind the wheel.

The deputy quickly catches up to him and the two get into a physical confrontation with Huttle vowing to shoot himself. The deputy pulls his service weapon and fires several rounds into Huttle, who dies at the scene.

Prosecutors investigated the shooting and determined the deputy was legally justified to use deadly force. No charges were filed.

Donald Trump has already said Gaza would be better off if the U.S. simply takes it over … and, now he’s using A.I. to imagine what it would be like as one of his splashy resorts.

The U.S. president posted a bizarre video to Truth Social Tuesday night which begins with images of war-torn Gaza — a region that has experienced months of bombing by Israel — before it transforms into his idea for its future … “Trump Gaza.”

Watch the video for yourself … it’s full of picturesque beaches, high-rises — and a lot of Elon Musk trying different foods and dancing while money literally falls from the sky. There’s even some bearded belly-dancers, and it’s all set to a dance club beat.

As you can imagine, this imagined resort is a lot like Trump’s others hotels — one big monument to him … with his name and face plastered everywhere.

There’s even a giant golden statue of Trump in the clip … reminiscent of the statue of Saddam Hussein American soldiers tore down in Iraq way back in 2003.

The clip ends with a shirtless Trump and a shirtless Benjamin Netanyahu — the prime minister of Israel — sitting back and sipping drinks by the pool.

As you can imagine, reaction to this video is split along party lines — Republicans and conservatives love it … Democrats and liberals, not so much.

The people of Gaza have faced a massive blitz of bombing beginning shortly after Hamas attacked and killed hundreds of people at a music festival back in 2023. Israel responded in full force … leading some to question whether their tactics constitute war crimes.

BTW … this is far from the only Trump-related A.I. video floating around the Internet right now — ’cause remember, there’s another where POTUS is gettin’ real cozy with Elon’s toesies.

Monica Lewinsky came in hot against Jay Leno … calling him out as one of the people who went after her the hardest when her affair with former U.S. President Bill Clinton went public in the ’90s.

In her “Call Her Daddy” podcast tell-all, Monica told host Alex Cooper about a study done after Leno retired … revealing she made the list of his top 10 targets during his time hosting “The Tonight Show.”

What’s worse, Monica pointed out she was the only non-public figure on the list, making it clear that being the punchline of Leno’s jokes, broadcast to the nation, was a whole new level of cruelty for her.

Monica also said Clinton should’ve resigned over their mid-1990s affair, when she was just 22 years old, and the prez was 49 — or at least found another way to stay in office without lying and throwing a young person just starting out under the bus, when the affair was exposed in ’98.

Monica dropped more truth bombs about how the affair totally wrecked her life. She says she wasn’t allowed to interview for certain jobs after the scandal, because Hillary was considering a run for office, and people were scared they’d lose funding if Monica was involved.

Monica revealed her dating life was also wrecked … going on to thank Cooper for taking the unwanted “Blow Job Queen” title from her, all thanks to the viral “Gluck Gluck 9000” method.

The interview wrapped up with Alex asking, “What would you tell your 22-year-old self?”

TikToker Sarah C. Roberts is setting the record straight about her viral Elon Musk assassination video … telling TMZ she never had plans to off the DOGE leader — and that her taxes have in fact been paid.

The woman who went viral for joking someone should “X” Elon — a play on him renaming Twitter to the single-letter moniker — says she regrets “trying to make stupid jokes on the Internet” and she doesn’t condone any violence.

Sarah tells TMZ she was simply expressing her frustrations with the economy on TikTok, and realizes it wasn’t funny. She adds … “I thought it was protected under free speech but I certainly learned my lesson.”

She also wants to let Interim U.S. Attorney for Washington, D.C. Ed Martin — who promised on social media she’d be investigated — know she was visited by the FBI on Sunday. She claims to TMZ that a man and woman visited her apartment for 20 minutes — without a warrant — who even apologized for inconveniencing her.

And for haters wishing death upon her professional career … joke’s on them — she was laid off from the ad agency Wongdoody on Jan. 24, which explains her frustrations.

SR explains … “You get laid off and you hear about these other layoffs and you know it’s harder to get another job. When you don’t have a job, you don’t have much to do and you watch too much news, furthering your frustrations.”

On the topic of her taxes … the former ad agency director says her claim that she has refused to pay up in eight years was a complete exaggeration. She tells TMZ there were issues with her tax information in 2020 and 2021, leading to a delay in payment.

She claims she’s since caught up with New York state and New York City taxes … and is waiting for the IRS to get back to her regarding the past blip. She even says she’s owed money … and paid $35,000 in federal taxes — not including Social Security and Medicare — last year.

Sarah says she’s not too worried about the IRS investigating her … though she confirms she’s hiring a new CPA to make sure she has all her ducks in a row.

As for her TikTok career … she was banned from the site. But Sarah says she was never trying to become an “influencer” in the first place!

Donald Trump gnawing on Elon Musk‘s toes in an A.I. video is making the rounds online … and now it’s even hit at least one government building — and TMZ’s learned the culprits behind the viral screening are being threatened with some real-life consequences.

We can see the toe-curling video playing in the halls of the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development building in Washington, D.C. after hackers apparently hijacked the TVs — complete with the bold caption, “Long Live The Real King.”

It’s unclear how the video ended up on the screens — whether it was an inside job or someone hacking from the outside — but the Trump admin ain’t laughing.

HUD spokeswoman Kasey Lovett tells us the stunt was “another waste of taxpayer dollars and resources” and says everyone involved can expect some serious consequences.

The footage of the video playing is seriously bizarre — professional government officials strolling down the corridors, all business as usual, while Trump chomps on Musk’s toes overhead.

Chris Kluwe says he’s been contacted by multiple people from the Democratic party, and while he straight up says he doesn’t want to run for political office, the former Vikings punter tells TMZ Sports he’d be willing to do it.

43-year-old Kluwe went viral last week after he delivered an explosive anti-Donald Trump, anti-MAGA speech at a city council meeting in Huntington Beach, CA … which ultimately led to his arrest.

We spoke with the 8-year NFL vet … and asked him about a potential run for office.

“Personally, I do not want to run for public office because I do not want power. That’s not something I desire. I want everyone to be able to live their own life, free to live their life without other people harming them. Unfortunately, we’re in a position where it looks like I might have to run for public office.”

Kluwe continued … “I hate that because I want to sit at home and play video games. And if you are a good public servant, you serve the public. And it is an exhausting, demanding job. That means you care about everyone. You have to care about their issues and you have to find ways to help try and solve those issues.”

Chris says he’s already been contacted by people from the Democratic party.

“I have had a Zoom meeting with a couple local Democratic operatives. I have another one [Friday]. We’ll see what happens there. I’m sure they’ll probably try to make a pitch. But the thing that I firmly believe is that what our current Democratic Party is doing is not working. And it’s time for the old guard to leave. It’s time for new faces to take over.”

As for whether he has regrets about how things played out at the council meeting … Chris has zero.

“No, none whatsoever.”
