Tom Homan Responds To ICE Shooting In Maine

One person has died and three others remain missing after a pontoon boat carrying mostly family members sank in San Francisco Bay during a memorial service near Alcatraz Island. Authorities said 16 people were rescued from the water after emergency crews responded to reports of the vessel going down Tuesday afternoon. Rescue teams, including divers, helicopters and boats, continued searching overnight for the missing passengers in the waters west of the Golden Gate Bridge. Officials say the cause of the sinking remains under investigation.

President Donald Trump is headlining a defense summit at the U.S. Army War College in Pennsylvania, where military leaders, defense executives and investors are discussing the future of U.S. national security and defense manufacturing. Trump is expected to promote major investments in battlefield technology and the defense industrial base as the U.S. works to replenish supplies of key weapons systems following the conflict with Iran. The summit also includes top Pentagon officials and executives from companies including Lockheed Martin, Boeing, General Dynamics, SpaceX and Palantir. Organizers say the event is focused on strengthening America's defense capabilities while encouraging new investment in military technology and manufacturing.

Heavy rainfall flooded roads and stranded motorists across parts of South Texas after storms dumped up to a foot of rain in some communities. Emergency crews carried out dozens of high-water rescues, while officials closed sections of a major highway near Uvalde because of dangerous flooding. A flood watch also remains in effect for several counties, including Kerr County, where catastrophic flooding last year claimed more than 100 lives. Forecasters warn additional rounds of heavy rain could bring more flash flooding to already saturated areas along the Texas-Mexico border.

A group of 26 Meta employees has filed a lawsuit alleging the company’s artificial intelligence-driven layoff process disproportionately targeted workers who were on protected medical, parental or family leave. Meta eliminated about 8,000 positions, roughly 10% of its workforce, during a round of layoffs in May. The lawsuit claims the company used internal AI systems, employee activity and keystroke-monitoring data, and AI token-usage dashboards to help determine which workers would lose their jobs. The employees allege people on protected leave were selected for layoffs at a disproportionate rate. The lawsuit was filed in federal court in Oakland, California.

Darline Graham has officially been sworn in as South Carolina's newest U.S. senator, taking office just three days after the death of her brother, longtime Sen. Lindsey Graham. Governor Henry McMaster appointed Graham to serve the remainder of her brother's term, which ends in January. A special election later this year will determine who will serve the next full Senate term after Republican voters choose a nominee. Darline Graham becomes the first woman to represent South Carolina in the U.S. Senate and has never before held elected office.

The House has passed legislation that would make daylight saving time permanent across most of the United States, eliminating the twice-a-year clock changes. Supporters of the measure say keeping clocks on daylight saving time year-round would provide more evening daylight when Americans are most active. The bill would still allow states to opt out if their legislatures choose to do so before the law takes effect. The proposal now heads to the Senate, where its future remains uncertain. It must pass the Senate and be signed by the president before it can become law.

A 28-year-old man was killed after being struck by a tractor trailer while fleeing from federal immigration officers during an enforcement operation in northeast Florida. Authorities said the man was one of four people who ran from a vehicle after it stopped at a gas station in St. Augustine during an encounter with agents from U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement and Homeland Security Investigations. Police said the man ran across a busy roadway and into the path of an oncoming semi-truck, where he was pronounced dead. The incident marks the third death in the past week involving encounters with ICE officers, drawing renewed attention to the agency's enforcement tactics.

President Donald Trump welcomed Iraqi Prime Minister Ali al-Zaidi to the White House as the two leaders looked to strengthen relations between the United States and Iraq. Trump praised the relationship between the two countries and said he and al-Zaidi shared strong chemistry during their meeting. The talks focused on expanding economic cooperation, increasing energy partnerships and supporting Iraq’s efforts to disarm Iran-backed militias. Iraqi officials also said an oil pipeline agreement involving U.S. and Qatari companies is expected to be announced later this week. The meeting comes as Washington seeks to deepen ties with Baghdad amid continued instability across the Middle East.

Fighting between the United States and Iran intensified Wednesday as the U.S. reimposed its naval blockade on Iranian ports and launched another wave of strikes, prompting fresh threats from Tehran over energy exports and shipping in the Strait of Hormuz. The renewed hostilities come after President Donald Trump ordered the blockade restored, saying it is aimed at preventing Iranian attacks on commercial shipping and pressuring Tehran back to the negotiating table. Iranian officials responded by warning they could halt additional Middle East energy exports if the blockade continues. The escalating conflict has further undermined hopes of reviving a temporary agreement that had been intended to reduce tensions and restore normal shipping through the Strait of Hormuz, one of the world's most important energy corridors.

Can the West's best intentions be exploited? In this thought-provoking conversation, Erin Molan is joined by UAE political analyst Ahmed Sharif to discuss political Islam, extremism, the Muslim Brotherhood, the concept of "Islamophobia," and why many Gulf nations have taken a very different approach from the West. Ahmed explains why he believes Western societies misunderstand the long-term strategy of extremist movements, why countries like the UAE banned the Muslim Brotherhood years ago, and why he says the West should pay closer attention to the warnings coming from the Middle East. The conversation also explores protests in the West, free speech, immigration, Iran, and the future of regional security.

Episode 196 (Part 1) Former Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison joins Erin Molan for a wide-ranging discussion about China’s expanding influence, the future of Taiwan, President Trump’s foreign policy and the growing threat posed by Iran. Morrison explains the real message behind China’s latest ballistic-missile test and warns that Beijing advances “piece by piece,” gradually making the unusual appear normal. He argues that Western governments must confront this strategy before China establishes dominance across the Indo-Pacific. The former prime minister also discusses his relationship with Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, President Trump’s approach to Xi Jinping, America’s support for Taiwan and why sustained pressure is the only language Iran’s regime understands.

The Erin Molan Show | Episode 195 (Part 2) The World Cup, Justin Trudeau, Marco Rubio, illegal immigration, Christian persecution in Nigeria, Iran’s threats against Donald Trump, Cenk Uygur, Marjorie Taylor Greene — and the selective outrage that continues to define modern politics. In this episode, I explain why the World Cup has unexpectedly become an IQ test for some political commentators, why Justin Trudeau’s latest viral moment perfectly captures the difference between looking ridiculous and actually being weak when it matters, and why Marco Rubio’s response to one horrific immigration case deserves far more attention. I also look at the devastating reports of Christians being killed by Islamic extremists in Nigeria, why Western leaders must finally be willing to name the ideology behind these atrocities, and why silence from many of the loudest “human rights” activists is impossible to ignore. And finally, another alleged Iranian plot against President Trump exposes the absurdity of dismissing Israeli intelligence, while Cenk Uygur, Marjorie Taylor Greene and the growing obsession with blaming Israel for everything show just how detached political discourse has become.
