GOP Divides Over McConnell Absence Before Trump’s Senate Agenda Moves Forward [WATCH]

/

Republican senators are divided over questions surrounding Sen. Mitch McConnell’s extended absence from the Senate, with Sen. Tommy Tuberville calling for more information about the Kentucky Republican’s condition while Sen. John Kennedy urged colleagues and the public to stop speculating about McConnell’s health, as reported by Fox News.

McConnell, R-Ky., has been away from the Senate since he was hospitalized on June 14. After weeks of silence about his condition, he recently issued a statement on social media explaining that he remains under doctors’ orders and is not yet ready to return to the Senate floor.

McConnell also pledged that he intends to return before retiring at the end of his current term.

Mitch McConnell Hospitalized After Sudden Illness, Condition Still a Mystery

Tuberville, R-Ala., said Republicans need more clarity as the Senate prepares to vote on key portions of President Donald Trump’s legislative agenda before lawmakers leave Washington for the August recess.

“Somebody needs to do something,” Tuberville told Fox News Digital. “Somebody needs to come out.”

According to Tuberville, Senate Republicans have not received additional information from leadership regarding McConnell’s expected timeline for returning or any further details about his condition.

“We didn’t get any information today in our luncheon,” Tuberville said Tuesday. “I don’t know what’s going on, but you know that’s not my business.”

McConnell recently disclosed that complications stemming from childhood polio contributed to a fall last month that left him “briefly unconscious.”

He said he later developed a “mild case of pneumonia” while recovering, extending the amount of time needed before he could return to work.

His statement addressed widespread speculation that followed his June hospitalization, including rumors suggesting he had suffered cardiac arrest.

Kennedy, R-La., strongly rejected rumors circulating about McConnell’s condition and said he believes what the longtime senator has publicly stated.

“Look, I believe Mitch,” Kennedy said. “I don’t believe all these stories that he’s brain dead and all of that. People need to get a life.”

Kennedy also pointed to McConnell’s age and injuries as reasons for his recovery period.

“I think he had a fall, and Mitch is not 29 anymore,” Kennedy said. “And he’s recuperating from it, and he’ll be back as soon as he can.”

He added, “That’s what he said, and I take him at his word.”

While Tuberville emphasized that he wishes McConnell a full recovery, he argued that Republicans need to know when the Kentucky senator expects to return because of the Senate’s upcoming schedule.

Lawmakers are expected to remain in session for several more weeks before departing for the August recess. Senators are scheduled to leave Washington beginning Aug. 8 and return on Sept. 13.

Tuberville said the Senate’s narrow margins make every Republican vote important as lawmakers prepare to consider President Trump’s legislative priorities before the extended break.

“He’s gonna need to come back probably before this three-week session’s over with, because then we’re off for like five weeks,” Tuberville said.

Republicans, he added, cannot expect assistance from Democrats during upcoming legislative votes.

“We’re gonna need him, because the Democrats are not gonna give us any votes,” Tuberville said.

McConnell has not publicly provided a specific date for his return to the Senate.

In his recent statement, he said he plans to return once his doctors determine he is medically cleared to do so and reiterated his commitment to serving through the end of his term before retiring.

His continued absence has fueled questions on Capitol Hill as the Senate prepares for a series of legislative votes ahead of the August recess.

While some Republicans, including Tuberville, are seeking additional information about McConnell’s status, others, including Kennedy, say the senator’s public explanation should be accepted as he continues his recovery.

Coast Guard Suspends Search After Deadly San Francisco Bay Boat Tragedy Near Alcatraz [WATCH]

Coast Guard Suspends Search After Deadly San Francisco Bay Boat Tragedy Near Alcatraz [WATCH]

/

The U.S. Coast Guard has suspended its search for three people who remain missing after a 49-foot cabin cruiser carrying members of an extended family capsized near Alcatraz Island during a memorial outing in San Francisco Bay, as reported by Fox News.

The vessel sank on Tuesday afternoon with 20 people aboard. Authorities said one passenger, identified as 79-year-old Clifford Joseph Boisa of Sutter County, died after being pulled from the water.

Sixteen other people were rescued, while three remain missing. Officials also confirmed that a dog aboard the vessel died.

According to authorities, the family had gathered on the recreational boat to scatter the ashes of a loved one during a memorial service before the accident occurred.

The Coast Guard announced Wednesday evening that the active search had been suspended after rescue crews spent nearly a full day searching the bay without finding additional survivors.

“Suspending an active search is one of the most difficult things we do as Coast Guard commanders,” Coast Guard Sector San Francisco Commander Capt. Jarod Toczko said during a Wednesday news conference.

“Our goal is always to bring home families’ loved ones.”

Toczko said rescue crews searched for approximately 23 hours using 11 surface vessels and four aircraft.

During that effort, responders covered about 950 square nautical miles and more than 1,700 miles of search track before concluding there was little likelihood of locating additional survivors.

He added that the families of the missing were notified before the search was suspended.

Investigators said the boat encountered a wave that caused it to list heavily before losing stability, rolling over, and sinking into San Francisco Bay.

Emergency dispatchers initially received reports suggesting the boat may have caught fire before sinking. However, investigators later determined there was no evidence of a fire.

Toczko said investigators concluded that what witnesses believed to be smoke was likely steam coming from the sinking vessel.

Authorities said the cabin cruiser had three enclosed levels. Survivor interviews indicated that several passengers were inside the main and lower decks when the boat overturned.

Toczko said investigators believe it remains possible that some of the missing passengers became trapped inside the vessel as it sank, although he emphasized that investigators have not reached any final conclusions.

The San Francisco Fire Department said three rescued passengers were transported to local hospitals for treatment and were later released.

Thirteen additional survivors received medical evaluations at a reunification center following the rescue operation.

San Francisco Fire Chief Dean Crispen confirmed that one person and one canine died in the incident.

Officials believe the boat came to rest approximately 130 feet below the surface near the location where it capsized.

Before recovery operations can begin, authorities said crews must first locate the vessel. Once it is found, an underwater drone will be used to determine whether the boat can be safely recovered.

Officials noted that divers generally cannot safely operate at depths greater than 120 feet, making remotely operated equipment an important part of the recovery effort.

Toczko also recognized nearby boaters and fishermen who responded immediately after the boat overturned, saying their quick actions helped prevent additional fatalities before emergency crews arrived.

“Those folks saved lives,” he said.

According to investigators, the recreational vessel departed from the area near San Francisco’s St. Francis Yacht Club before traveling to Angel Island as part of the family memorial gathering.

The emergency occurred while the boat was returning across San Francisco Bay.

Federal, state, and local agencies participated in the response, and officials said the cause of the sinking remains under investigation.

Kai Trump Shines Her Own Way And Refuses To Play The Political Game [WATCH]

/

Kai Trump, the granddaughter of President Donald Trump and an incoming collegiate golfer for the Miami Hurricanes, said she prefers to stay out of politics and instead wants to inspire young people by documenting her life through video blogs, as reported by Fox News.

Speaking at the ESPYs on Wednesday, Trump discussed her growing online presence and explained that her focus remains on athletics and sharing her personal journey rather than engaging in political issues.

Her social media content has given followers and supporters of the president a look inside life as a member of the first family while also highlighting her development as a golfer.

In an interview with Sportico, Trump said her goal is to encourage other young people by showing the work that has gone into reaching the next stage of her athletic career.

“Honestly, I kind of stay out of politics completely. It’s just not my thing,” she told Sportico.

“I just like showing my life and showing how you can still be an athlete, and you can still do a ton of other things and enjoy a ton of other things.”

“So, I just kind of like showing people that everything’s possible, and I love just showing the new generation my progress through college, eventually, but obviously, how I got to where I am today.”

Trump has steadily built an audience by sharing moments from golf tournaments, family events, and everyday life.

Her online videos have also offered viewers a behind-the-scenes look at activities involving the Trump family while maintaining a strong emphasis on her athletic goals.

The 2026 ESPYs appearance came as Trump prepares to begin her freshman season with the University of Miami women’s golf team.

She is expected to make her collegiate debut in the coming months after joining the Hurricanes roster as one of two incoming freshmen.

The roster also includes freshman Bella Dovhey.

Trump has attracted attention in recent months through both golf and public appearances.

Earlier this year, she reflected on her LPGA debut and spoke about overcoming nerves as a young golfer. She has also appeared at several high-profile sporting events.

Among those appearances was the UFC Freedom 250 event held on the South Lawn of the White House in Washington, D.C., on June 13, 2026.

During her interview at the ESPYs, she was asked about the relationship between sports and politics, particularly following that event.

Trump reiterated that political issues are not her focus.

“Honestly, I just stay out of politics. It’s not my thing,” she said.

“But I think the UFC event was great, and it was really cool being there, and especially having veterans in the stadium as well, that’s where you can kinda combine the (America) 250 point of view on it. But I thought it was great.”

Her comments reflected the same approach she described earlier in the interview, emphasizing athletics and personal development over political involvement.

As she prepares for her first collegiate season, Trump said she intends to continue producing video blogs documenting her experiences.

She said she hopes viewers, particularly younger audiences, will see that it is possible to pursue competitive athletics while balancing other interests and milestones.

With her freshman year approaching, Trump will soon begin competing for the Miami Hurricanes while continuing to grow her online following through content centered on golf, college life, and her personal journey.

Posobiec Shreds Leftist Peddling Lies About Attempted Charlie Kirk Assassination [WATCH]

Posobiec Shreds Leftist Peddling Lies About Attempted Charlie Kirk Assassination [WATCH]

/

A heated exchange over the assassination of conservative activist Charlie Kirk unfolded Tuesday night on Piers Morgan Uncensored, as commentator Jack Posobiec challenged claims made by Wajahat Ali and Brian Tyler-Cohen regarding the motive behind the killing, as reported by The Post Millennial.

The discussion came after prosecutors presented evidence in court linking Tyler Robinson to Kirk’s assassination. Robinson has been charged in the case.

During the debate, Ali argued that the available evidence suggested Robinson was politically motivated from the political right.

“Most likely, Tyler Robinson was radicalized,” Ali said. “Here is a white man with a gun; he had his own grievance, and he shot and killed Charlie Kirk.”

Ali also referenced reports that Robinson admitted responsibility for the killing and argued the incident reflected internal divisions within the conservative movement.

“This is an entire political movement in real time that is eating itself,” Ali said. “Candace Owens came from MAGA. MAGA is now turning on MAGA.”

He continued, “If there’s any self-reflection and any decency, which there isn’t, they would sit back and say, huh, maybe, just maybe, we shouldn’t have spread these insane conspiracy theories.”

Posobiec rejected that characterization, arguing that evidence presented in the investigation pointed in a different direction.

He said some media figures, including late-night host Jimmy Kimmel, had incorrectly suggested the suspect was connected to the political right while overlooking other evidence recovered during the investigation.

According to Posobiec, investigators recovered shell casings at the crime scene bearing phrases associated with the political left, including “fascist catch” and “bella ciao.”

“People who falsely claimed that it was a groyper, that it was a member of the right, Jimmy Kimmel spread that on nighttime news,” Posobiec said.

“This was big news. There was a huge push about it. This was big news. There were headlines about it. We debated it on the show.”

Posobiec argued that critics were ignoring evidence that he said suggested a left-wing political motive.

“Notice that you seem to have skipped over the radical left, which we now know absolutely was responsible for this,” Posobiec said.

“And we even knew that before we had the identification of Tyler Robinson, because we had the etchings on the bullets.”

“Hey, fascist catch. Bella Ciao, the Antifa anthem. All of that evidence was out there, but you seem to have missed it,” he added.

Ali responded by accusing Posobiec of reinforcing the point he had been making throughout the discussion.

“Yeah, so you’re literally doing what I accused you of doing,” Ali said. “So thank you for proving.”

Posobiec answered that he was relying on the available evidence.

“The courage of following the evidence?” Posobiec replied.

The debate continued as Ali argued that the controversy reflected divisions within the conservative movement.

“This is the movement that you have created, and this is the movement now that is eating itself,” Ali said.

Posobiec rejected that claim and responded by blaming political violence on individuals aligned with Ali’s political views.

“The movement that you are part of killed Charlie,” Posobiec said.

He continued, “You seem more upset about me simply being here talking than people who agree with your politics, murdering people, one at a campus, one in her own kitchen.”

Ali replied, “I’m perfectly fine condemning violent extremism on all sides.”

Brian Tyler-Cohen also participated in the discussion and argued that Kirk had been appropriately labeled a fascist based on his conduct.

The exchange highlighted sharply different interpretations of the evidence surrounding Robinson’s alleged motive and the broader political implications following Kirk’s assassination.

Robinson remains charged in the case as the legal proceedings continue.

Walz Doubles Down After Trump Team Deports His Pardoned Child Rapist [WATCH]

Walz Doubles Down After Trump Team Deports His Pardoned Child Rapist [WATCH]

/

Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz defended his decision after the Trump administration deported an illegal migrant whose criminal conviction had been pardoned by the Minnesota Board of Pardons last month, prompting renewed debate over immigration enforcement and executive clemency, as reported by The New York Post.

Walz commented Tuesday after Secretary of State Marco Rubio announced that the legal status of Tou Lue Vang, a 42-year-old native of Laos, had been revoked before he was removed from the United States.

“Did that make us any safer? Did that make the children that are left behind any more stable?” Walz asked, according to KTTC.

He continued, “Did it improve the idea that we can’t all be judged by our worst day? And I want to be very clear, these are horrific crimes. They often are.”

The Department of Homeland Security announced Friday that Vang had been deported after his legal status was terminated.

In a statement, the White House confirmed Rubio’s action and defended the administration’s immigration enforcement efforts.

“Under President Trump, criminal illegal aliens who rape children will be found, arrested, and removed—and Democrat politicians will not stand in the way,” the statement read.

According to DHS, Vang entered the United States in 1994 and was granted legal status during the Clinton administration.

In 2006, he was convicted of first-degree criminal sexual conduct involving a 10-year-old girl after repeated assaults that prosecutors said occurred between 2002 and 2004.

DHS said Vang later claimed during a police interview that his actions were “a cultural thing” and argued that the child victim shared responsibility for what occurred.

Following his conviction, a Department of Justice immigration judge issued a final order of removal in October 2006.

Immigration and Customs Enforcement arrested Vang on Dec. 10, 2025. A judge in the District of Minnesota later ordered his release from ICE custody in February 2026.

On June 10, the Minnesota Board of Pardons granted Vang a pardon. The board consists of Walz, Minnesota Supreme Court Chief Justice Natalie E. Hudson, and Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison.

During the pardon hearing, Vang accepted responsibility for his crime.

“What I did was wrong. It was a serious crime. She was a child,” Vang told the board.

He also appealed to the board on behalf of his family.

“If I am sent away, we lose everything. My children will lose their home, and they will lose their education. They will grow up without a father.”

According to KTTC, the victim submitted a letter stating that she had forgiven Vang for his actions.

During the hearing, Walz stated, “Just remember, both were minors,” according to the Daily Mail.

After Vang’s removal from the United States, DHS Acting Assistant Secretary Lauren Bis criticized the decision to pardon him.

“ICE deported Tou Vang, an illegal alien convicted child rapist. This monster repeatedly sexually assaulted a 10-year-old girl,” Bis said.

She added, “Tim Walz pardoned this sex criminal in an attempt to allow him to remain in our country.”

“These are the criminal illegal aliens he and sanctuary politicians are protecting. We will always put the safety of the American people first.”

The deportation has drawn national attention as the Trump administration continues to emphasize the removal of criminal illegal immigrants, while Walz’s comments and the Minnesota pardon have generated renewed scrutiny over the state’s clemency process.

Schiff Tries to Grill AG Nominee Todd Blanche and Gets Schooled on Live TV [WATCH]

/

Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche forcefully defended his record Wednesday during a Senate confirmation hearing after Sen. Adam Schiff, D-Calif., questioned his handling of matters related to former Special Counsel Jack Smith’s classified documents investigation, as reported by Red State.

The exchange occurred during Blanche’s appearance before the Senate Judiciary Committee as lawmakers considered his nomination to serve as attorney general.

Blanche has served as acting attorney general since April, following the departure of Pam Bondi.

One of the hearing’s most contentious moments came when Schiff questioned Blanche about Volume II of former Special Counsel Jack Smith’s final report, which concerns the classified documents investigation involving President Donald Trump.

Schiff argued that Blanche should have supported releasing the report and suggested that withholding it presented a conflict of interest because Blanche had previously represented Trump.

“You’ve also refused to release Volume II of the Special Counsel’s report. That was an investigation into the Mar-a-Lago documents case. How is that not an abundant conflict of interest? Refusing to release to the public an investigative report of an investigation into your client?” Schiff asked.

Blanche began responding by noting that decisions regarding the report had involved the courts.

“I am not a judge, a federal judge —”

Schiff interrupted before Blanche could finish.

“No, no, no, no, no. The department’s position under you, Mr. Blanche, the department’s position under you, Mr. Blanche, was to not release the report. But if you went into court asking them to release it, it would be released by now. So how is that not a patent conflict of interest?”

Blanche rejected Schiff’s characterization of the timeline, stating that the decisions Schiff referenced occurred before Blanche assumed his current position.

“What you’re saying happens to not be true. I did not do that. What you’re talking about happened before.”

Schiff then asked Blanche whether he supported releasing Volume II of the report.

“So do you support the release of Volume II?”

Blanche responded that he did not, while also emphasizing that he had recused himself from matters involving the case.

“No, I don’t — but I’m recused and had nothing to do with that case. You can’t accuse me of violating my ethical rules and then lie about what I did.”

The classified documents report became the subject of multiple court proceedings after U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon blocked its release on several occasions.

The hearing also included broader disagreements between Schiff and Blanche over Justice Department personnel decisions and actions taken by the Trump administration.

According to the hearing, the two exchanged views on the dismissal of federal prosecutors, as well as President Donald Trump’s pardons of numerous January 6 defendants.

Blanche defended his conduct throughout the hearing and repeatedly disputed Schiff’s assertions regarding his involvement in decisions surrounding the classified documents investigation.

The exchange marked one of several heated moments during Wednesday’s confirmation hearing, as Democratic senators pressed Blanche on his prior legal representation of Trump and his leadership of the Justice Department.

Blanche maintained that ethical rules required him to recuse himself from matters involving his former client and argued that Schiff’s accusations incorrectly attributed actions to him that occurred before he became acting attorney general.

The Senate Judiciary Committee is continuing its consideration of Blanche’s nomination as lawmakers weigh whether to advance him for a full Senate confirmation vote.

Hirono Mocked After Bizarre Question to Trump AG Nominee Todd Blanche Sparks Outrage Online [WATCH]

/

Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche’s confirmation hearing before the Senate Judiciary Committee on Wednesday quickly became the focus of criticism after Sen. Mazie Hirono, D-Hawaii, opened her questioning with a series of inquiries about personal misconduct, prompting a sharp response from the White House and widespread reaction on social media, as reported by Fox News.

Blanche appeared before the committee as lawmakers considered his nomination. During her allotted time, Hirono began by asking whether he had ever engaged in inappropriate personal conduct or misconduct during his adult life.

Blanche answered each question with the same response.

“No, senator,” he said.

Hirono then asked whether Blanche had ever faced disciplinary action or entered into any settlement related to that type of conduct.

Again, Blanche replied, “No, senator.”

The White House’s Rapid Response account quickly criticized Hirono’s line of questioning on X.

“Low IQ @maziehirono begins her questioning of @DAGToddBlanche —an esteemed professional with an honorable record in public service—by asking, ‘Have you ever made unwanted requests for sexual favors?’ What a joke,” the account posted.

Hirono has used similar opening questions during previous Senate confirmation hearings. She asked Interior Secretary Doug Burgum comparable questions during his confirmation hearing last year.

According to the report, Hirono first adopted the practice in 2018 following the rise of the #MeToo and #TimesUp movements.

She initially used the questions during the confirmation hearing of judicial nominee Kurt Engelhardt during President Donald Trump’s first administration.

The exchange with Blanche quickly spread across social media, where a number of conservative organizations and commentators criticized Hirono’s approach.

“Raise your hand if you’re tired of @maziehirono’s favorite Senate Judiciary line of questioning,” the Republican National Lawyers Association wrote on X.

Right Line News Chief Content Officer Eric Daugherty also commented on the hearing.

“The White House is RIPPING deranged Sen. Mazie Hirono (D) for demanding AG Todd Blanche answer, ‘have you ever made unwanted requests for s*xual favors’ BLANCHE: ‘…no, senator..,’” Daugherty wrote on X.

He followed with another post that read, “WTF? What a stupid thing to ask out of nowhere.”

Another social media user wrote, “She does it to EVERYONE, SHE IS ABSOLUTELY NUTS.”

Hirono has previously explained why she asks similar questions of nominees appearing before the Senate.

In a 2018 post on X, she wrote that she was “asking nominees to our courts, under oath, whether or not they have a history of sexual assault or harassment.”

She also wrote, “Like in other industries, our judges are in positions of power & #TimesUp.”

The questions have become a recurring feature of Hirono’s participation in confirmation hearings and have repeatedly generated criticism from Republicans and conservative commentators, who argue the inquiries are inappropriate when directed at nominees without public allegations of misconduct.

Wednesday’s hearing continued that pattern, with Blanche firmly denying any history of misconduct and answering each question directly.

The exchange became one of the most widely discussed moments of the hearing, drawing immediate responses from the White House, legal organizations, political commentators, and social media users.

Blanche’s nomination now moves forward as the Senate Judiciary Committee continues its consideration of his confirmation, while the opening exchange with Hirono is likely to remain one of the most closely watched moments from Wednesday’s proceedings.

Dash Cam Footage Reveals ESPN Analyst’s Brutal Crash And Mounting Controversy [WATCH]

/

Newly released dashcam footage is providing a clearer look at the June 17 crash that left ESPN NFL draft analyst Matt Miller with life-altering injuries, while a separate investigation involving allegations tied to fantasy football contests and charitable payments remains ongoing, as reported by Trending Politics News.

The video, obtained by The California Post and released Tuesday, shows Miller driving a blue 2023 Ford Bronco on a roadway in Jasper County, Missouri, at approximately 3:50 p.m. on June 17.

According to the footage, the Bronco suddenly crossed the centerline and entered the path of an oncoming semi-truck.

The truck driver appeared to take evasive action in an attempt to avoid the collision, but was unable to prevent the crash.

Photographs from the scene show Miller’s Bronco heavily damaged after leaving the roadway, skidding several yards, and coming to rest in a grassy area.

According to the Missouri State Highway Patrol, Miller was wearing his seat belt properly before the collision.

However, investigators said that “during the crash and due to the extensive damage” to the vehicle, the seat belt was cut, resulting in Miller being ejected from the Bronco.

A witness who was traveling behind Miller described what happened in a statement included in the crash report.

“I was leaving my sister’s house,” the witness said. “I might have been maybe 100 yards behind. I witnessed the Bronco just a hard swerve into the semi’s lane. The semi tried to swerve. It made contact. I haven’t ever seen a car explode like that. I ran to the Bronco, and there was no one in the vehicle. I heard groaning behind me.”

“I saw a man laying in the grass. I called 911.”

Following the collision, Miller suffered multiple serious injuries, according to a GoFundMe campaign established by his family.

The fundraiser stated that Miller sustained “a compound fracture of his left femur, a shattered left kneecap,” and “multiple broken ribs.”

It also stated that he “lost a significant amount of blood” and ultimately underwent an amputation of his left arm.

The Missouri State Highway Patrol identified the probable contributing circumstance in the crash as “improper lane usage/change” by Miller.

The report listed whether alcohol or marijuana played a role as “unknown.”

Investigators also reported that the semi-truck driver was not injured in the collision and was not under the influence of alcohol or marijuana.

Since the accident, Miller has publicly updated supporters on his condition.

On July 10, he announced on X that he had undergone multiple successful surgeries and would be stepping away from ESPN while continuing his recovery.

“Thank you to all for the prayers and thoughts; please keep them coming,” Miller wrote.

While the crash has generated widespread attention because of Miller’s injuries, it has also renewed public interest in separate allegations unrelated to the collision.

According to the report, several social media users have accused Miller of withholding prize money or failing to fully account for charitable funds connected to fantasy football contests and scouting-related payments.

Earlier this month, Awful Announcing reported that the Missouri Attorney General’s Office had opened an investigation into those complaints.

Miller has not publicly responded to the allegations.

The newly released dashcam footage has added additional attention to the June 17 collision as authorities continue documenting the circumstances surrounding the crash.

Meanwhile, Miller remains focused on recovering from his injuries after undergoing multiple surgeries, while the separate investigation involving the reported financial complaints continues.

Watters Wrecks Liberal Spin as ICE Shooting Sparks Media Meltdown [WATCH]

/

An immigration enforcement operation in Houston became the focus of a heated television debate after an ICE agent fatally shot an illegal immigrant who authorities say attempted to run over federal officers during a vehicle stop, as reported by PJ Media.

According to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, federal agents were conducting a targeted enforcement operation Tuesday morning when Lorenzo Salgado Araujo, an illegal immigrant from Mexico, attempted to evade arrest.

ICE said Salgado Araujo tried to ram an agency vehicle, ignored multiple verbal commands, and then attempted to run over an agent. The agent responded by firing his weapon in what the agency described as self-defense.

The incident quickly became a topic of discussion on Tuesday’s edition of The Five, where Fox News host Jesse Watters and co-host Jessica Tarlov debated both the shooting and broader immigration policy.

Watters began by discussing images from the scene.

“All right, so the bullet holes are right through the front windshield,” Watters observed.

“So this wasn’t a side shot. The car was coming at the officer, we think, and they’ll do a review. And if he’s, you know, guilty of something negligent, then he’ll face justice. Or if the person drove at him and he was defending his life, then that’s it.”

Watters then questioned why Salgado Araujo had been in the United States.

Tarlov responded, “He’s working.”

Watters immediately rejected that argument.

“He shouldn’t be here, Jessica,” Watters replied.

Watters also noted that Salgado Araujo was not the intended target of the enforcement operation.

“And so, if they say pull over, pull over,” he said.

“Now, this investigation will be over, but we have to grow up. Can we grow up? I mean, there’s going to be fatalities in law enforcement situations, especially when there’s foreign fugitives who are resisting and running away.”

The discussion then shifted from the Houston incident to immigration policy under President Donald Trump and former President Joe Biden.

Watters argued that the two administrations took dramatically different approaches to border enforcement.

“Biden didn’t even try. Biden and the Democrats chose to let millions of migrants in here. And then they chose not to deport them.”

He continued by criticizing what he described as Democratic immigration policy.

“You said they should be able to break into the country and stay until they break a law,” he said.

“And then they can get deported. Then we don’t have a border. That’s just an invitation for Latin America to break into the country. And we have to wait for them to commit crimes? That’s not a policy. That’s insanity.”

Watters also criticized sanctuary jurisdictions, arguing they interfere with immigration enforcement after criminal offenses occur.

“So they say they want to get the criminals out,” Watters said. “And then when we try to get the criminals out, they protect them.”

During the discussion, Watters referenced a case in Minnesota involving Gov. Tim Walz.

“Got pardoned by Tampon? I mean, what the hell? So he wouldn’t get deported?”

Watters concluded the segment by arguing that immigration policy has political consequences.

“Why, all of a sudden, we bring in all this foreign-born population, [and] Democrats are all of a sudden competitive?” he asked.

“They just imported everybody that lived outside of the country into the country, and now it’s closer. That’s why they want them here, no matter if they commit crimes or not.”

A video clip from The Five highlighting the exchange was later posted on X with the caption: “We can’t work with these people.” @JesseBWatters breaks down why Dems can’t be reckoned with when it comes to ICE reform.

The Houston shooting remains under review as authorities examine the circumstances surrounding the incident.

Watters acknowledged during the broadcast that investigators will determine whether the agent’s actions were justified based on the evidence collected during the review.

President Trump Says Nightly Iran Strikes Continue Until Regime Starts Negotiating Seriously [WATCH]

President Donald Trump said the United States will continue conducting nightly military strikes against Iran and warned that Iranian power plants and bridges could become targets next week if Tehran does not agree to negotiate with the United States, as reported by The Gateway Pundit.

Trump made the remarks during an interview with Fox News correspondent Trey Yingst that aired Tuesday.

During the interview, Yingst asked whether the president was still considering striking Iranian energy infrastructure and expanding military operations deeper inside the country following a five-hour U.S. mission on Monday.

Trump’s Laugh-Out-Loud Endorsement of Susan Collins Wrecks Leftist Opponent

According to the interview, U.S. forces carried out strikes Monday against targets across Iran, including Bushehr, Chah Bahar, Jask, Konarak, Abu Musa, and Bandar Abbas.

During the interview, Trump said additional military operations are planned before any strikes on energy infrastructure.

“I’ll save the energy targets for last, but ultimately we’ll hit energy targets,” Trump said.

The president indicated the United States intends to continue operations over several consecutive nights before expanding the list of targets.

“We’re going to hit them very hard tonight, we’re going to hit them very hard tomorrow night, we’re going to hit them very hard the night after, and then next week it gets really bad for them because next week comes the power plants. Next week comes the bridges.”

Trump added that future strikes could be avoided if Iran agrees to negotiate.

“We’re going to knock out all their power plants, we’re going to knock out all their bridges unless they get to the table and negotiate.”

When Yingst asked whether he believes Iran is serious about reaching an agreement to end the conflict, Trump said the country has little alternative.

“I think if I didn’t do the way I’m doing, they would never make a deal,” he said.

The president also criticized the nuclear agreement negotiated during the Obama administration, arguing it failed to stop Iran’s nuclear ambitions.

“They would have never made a deal with Obama. That deal was the worst deal. What they did sign was a worthless piece of paper. What they signed, what they signed with Obama, was a worthless piece of paper that was a road to a nuclear weapon. And what I have is a wall. There will be no nuclear weapon.”

Trump said preventing Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon remains the central objective of any agreement between the two countries, describing that issue as “by far the most important” term of a potential deal.

The latest comments follow previous warnings from Trump that Iranian infrastructure, including power plants and bridges, could be targeted during the conflict.

In April, Trump highlighted one such strike by posting a video on Truth Social showing Iran’s B1 Bridge in Karaj, described as the tallest bridge in the Middle East, being destroyed in an airstrike.

After that strike, Trump wrote on Truth Social:

“The biggest bridge in Iran comes tumbling down, never to be used again — Much more to follow! IT IS TIME FOR IRAN TO MAKE A DEAL BEFORE IT IS TOO LATE, AND THERE IS NOTHING LEFT OF WHAT STILL COULD BECOME A GREAT COUNTRY! President DONALD J. TRUMP,” Trump said.
