President Trump's hatred for liberals reached new heights at a rally Monday night when he suggested that Iran wipe out Los Angeles and San Diego. 

The commander-in-chief was speaking at the political rally in Nebraska when he made the shocking statement about the 2 liberal cities — while discussing how the Iran war caused fuel prices to spike across the U.S., forcing drivers to pay a "little bit" more at the pump.

Trump then told the packed crowd that Iran had the fire power to take out an American city ... without offering any evidence that the Muslim country had long range weapons of mass destruction.

Not many moments will go down in reality TV history like Brady Booker losing part of his thumb on Survivor 51 ... so you know we had to immediately ask him all about the WILD scene! 

Brady was a guest on "The TMZ Podcast" and he broke down exactly what went through his mind the moment he accidentally hacked off part of his thumb while chopping firewood. 

Brady told us the only thing he was worried about was being removed from the game because his injury was too severe, but he credits the on-set doctor for keeping him as calm as he could be in the moment. But did it take more convincing than what we saw on the episode to keep him on the island? Take a listen to the pod to hear about what you didn’t see on camera. 

Jim Bakker, the televangelist who built a Christian television empire with his former wife, Tammy Faye Bakker, has died.

His wife, Lori Bakker, announced Jim died Monday evening saying he devoted 66 years to preaching the Gospel and remained committed to his ministry until the end.

Lori described him as her husband and best friend, adding that his heart remained with the ministry and its supporters during his final days. She asked for prayers and privacy as the family grieves.

His cause of death is currently not yet known.

Bakker rose to prominence in the 1970s as co-host of "The PTL Club," which he launched with Tammy Faye. The pair also founded Heritage USA, a Christian theme park in South Carolina.

Their empire collapsed in the late 1980s amid a sex and money scandal. Bakker was convicted of fraud and conspiracy after misusing ministry funds and selling "lifetime memberships" to a hotel that was never completed. He was sentenced to 45 years in prison, though he ultimately served about five years.

After his release, Bakker returned to television and later launched "The Jim Bakker Show" with Lori, where he discussed Christianity, biblical prophecy and current events.

Tammy Faye divorced Jim while he was incarcerated and later married Roe Messner. She died of cancer in 2007. Jim and Tammy Faye shared two children, including their son, Jay Bakker.

Jim was 86.

It makes sense that investigators need to wait for toxicology results to determine Ken Urker's official cause of death ... at least according to a former FBI investigator.

She say the tox report will be crucial to determining Ken's manner of death, because it'll let investigators know if the drugs he took were laced with something deadly, or if he simply took too much.
