Fox News host Pete Hegseth cornered Governor <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/gavin-newsom" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Gavin Newsom</a> (D-CA) in the spin room after Wednesday evening&#8217;s second Republican primary debate, asking whether Newsom felt like President Joe Biden was &#8220;holding him back&#8221; from pursuing a presidential run.
The regular &#8220;Fox &amp; Friends: Weekend&#8221; host was on hand for the debate at the Reagan Library in Simi Valley, California, when he ran into Newsom &#8212; whom many have <a href="https://www.sacbee.com/news/politics-government/election/presidential-election/article278859854.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">speculated</a> to be the Democratic Party&#8217;s logical choice if President Joe Biden opts out of the 2024 presidential election.

Hegseth started with a simple question, asking Newsom whether he would prefer to debate former President Donald Trump or Governor Ron DeSantis (R-FL).
&#8220;Well, I think Ron &#8230; I think &#8230; Look, these guys didn&#8217;t lay a glove on Trump,&#8221; Newsom began, pivoting to use former Governor Nikki Haley&#8217;s (R-SC) words to attack DeSantis. &#8220;And Nikki Haley has a lot to say about Ron DeSantis lying about his executive order and his anti-fracking stance and his anti-oil drilling stance. But it was a nothing-burger, objectively, and I know I&#8217;m the spin guy and I know I&#8217;m a Democrat, but Biden won. I think it was a good night for Biden.&#8221;
Hegseth went on to ask Newsom directly, &#8220;Do you feel like Biden’s holding you back from running?&#8221;
&#8220;No. Are you kidding? I&#8217;m —&#8221; Newsom replied.
&#8220;I&#8217;m not kidding,&#8221; Hegseth interrupted.

&#8220;— enthusiastically passionate about promoting the Biden, not only agenda, but the great implementation, which is his second term and having his back, character, decency,&#8221; Newsom continued. &#8220;And I&#8217;m an old-fashioned guy, I believe in a little loyalty.&#8221;
Newsom is reportedly set to square off with DeSantis in a debate moderated by Fox News host Sean Hannity &#8212; a debate that <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/desantis-on-his-upcoming-debate-with-newsom-florida-already-won-the-debate" target="_blank" rel="noopener">DeSantis</a> says &#8220;Florida already won.&#8221;
&#8220;I think it’s an important debate for the country. Not like saying who’s better, Florida or California, because that debate is over because people have voted with their feet. They’ve left California and come to Florida, not the other way around,&#8221; DeSantis said.

Fox News Host Corners Newsom In Post-Debate Spin Room: ‘Is Biden Holding You Back?’

&#8220;The View&#8221; co-host Sunny Hostin claimed on Wednesday that billionaire entrepreneur Elon Musk was responsible — through cuts suggested by the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) project — for the loss of some 300,000 lives, who were &#8220;mostly children.&#8221;
Hostin made the comments during the ABC midday broadcast of &#8220;The View,&#8221; where she argued that even though Musk was stepping away from a more central role within President Donald Trump&#8217;s inner circle, he and his counterparts at DOGE had already done immeasurable damage.

&#8220;But the damage that he did was just really incredible,&#8221; Hostin said. &#8220;He slashed 250,000 federal employees, more than 8500 contracts, more than 10,000 grants, and his cutbacks on medical research cost the lives of — the foreign aid — cost 300,000 lives, mostly children.&#8221;
&#8220;That&#8217;s the damage that Elon Musk did, so I don&#8217;t think anyone should be listening to him about anything,&#8221; she insisted.
The rest of Hostin&#8217;s co-hosts joined the pile-on a bit later, but they also were quick to suggest that Trump might need to watch his step as Musk exits the administration.

‘The View’ Host Claims Elon Musk Caused 300,000 Deaths Due To DOGE Cuts: ‘Mostly Children’

House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) has vowed to identify every single Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agent who engages in raids while wearing a face mask — even though, according to acting ICE Director Todd Lyons, they&#8217;re wearing the masks to protect their families.
After weeks of facing death threats and having their photos and personal information published on the internet, Lyons confirmed that ICE agents have resorted to wearing face masks in order to avoid added risks.

&#8220;People are out there taking photos of the names, their faces, and posting them online with death threats to their family and themselves,&#8221; Lyons explained.
Jeffries seemed unconcerned with the real reason that ICE agents had opted to cover their faces, and instead claimed that their efforts to enforce federal immigration law were &#8220;engaged in &#8230; aggressive overreach&#8221; and suggested the masks were simply an effort to avoid being held accountable for that.

ICE Agents Wear Masks After Threats To Their Families, But Top Dem Promises To ID All Of Them

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and President Donald Trump have both promised to foster and lead a United States Military that is less woke and more lethal than it has been in recent years, and reports published on Tuesday indicated that they have been hard at work on both fronts.
<a href="https://www.military.com/daily-news/2025/06/03/hegseth-orders-navy-strip-name-of-gay-rights-icon-harvey-milk-ship.html">Military.com</a> reported on Tuesday that Hegseth had ordered the U.S. Navy to strip the name of Harvey Milk from an oiler class ship. The ship was named for Milk, a gay rights activist, in 2016 by former President Barack Obama&#8217;s Navy Secretary Ray Mabus.

According to that report, a Defense Department official also confirmed that the timing of Hegseth&#8217;s order — just days into PRIDE Month — had been intentional.
Senator Chuck Schumer (D-NY) lashed out at Hegseth over the move, saying, &#8220;Erasing Harvey Milk’s name is disgusting, blatant discrimination—and during Pride Month to boot. He served the U.S. Navy and his country honorably, and he was assassinated while serving the public and fighting for LGBTQ+ rights. Hegseth should be ashamed of himself and reverse this immediately.&#8221;

LESS WOKE, MORE LETHAL: Military Hits Major Milestones Under Trump And Hegseth

University of North Carolina Asheville parted ways with administrator Megan Pugh after video surfaced of the now-former Dean of Students bragging about her plans to use her position to promote Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) despite it being banned.
Corey DeAngelis shared the story in a thread posted to X on Tuesday, beginning with video obtained by an undercover journalist – working with Accuracy In Media —who spoke with Pugh and recorded her in her office.

The discussion turned to &#8220;implicit bias training,&#8221; and Pugh admitted, &#8220;The sort of guidance from the system office has been very specific about implicit bias training in a way that I don&#8217;t enjoy&#8221; — but she said that she intended to find a way to &#8220;incorporate&#8221; it in spite of that guidance.

UNC Cans DEI Dean Over Undercover Video: ‘I Love Breaking Rules’

After two horrific attacks in under two weeks — both perpetrated by anti-Israel terrorists who either claimed they&#8217;d acted on behalf of Gaza or shouted &#8220;free Palestine&#8221; as they carried out their violent acts — conservative pundits are drawing a hard line directly through the &#8220;Free Palestine&#8221; movement to the increasingly violent attacks on American Jews.
Fox News contributor Guy Benson made the case during a Monday appearance on Fox News&#8217; &#8220;Special Report,&#8221; where he explained that the disturbingly violent acts — such as Mohamed Sabry Soliman fire-bombing adults and children at a pro-Israel demonstration or Elias Rodriguez gunning down two young Israeli Embassy staffers without provocation — were not outliers. Instead, he said they were the manifestation of loud calls across American college campuses to &#8220;globalize the intifada&#8221; and to stop Israel &#8220;by any means necessary.&#8221;

&#8220;It looks like a governor&#8217;s mansion, torched in the middle of the night with a Jewish leader sleeping upstairs with his family,&#8221; Benson continued, referencing the arson attack against Governor Josh Shapiro during Passover. &#8220;It looks like two employees of the Israeli Embassy in this city, our capital city, murdered in cold blood at a Jewish museum. And it looks like these elderly Jewish Americans fire-bombed at a peaceful rally on behalf of releasing hostages in Colorado.&#8221;

It&#8217;s a disgrace, and it has to stop.&#8221;
Benson also called out the media coverage of the attacks, adding, &#8220;If a right-wing movement had burned down a governor’s mansion, murdered two foreign diplomats &amp; firebombed kids and elderly people at a peaceful protest — in the span of a few weeks — what would the coverage look like?

Conservative Pundits Blast Violent ‘Free Palestine’ Movement For What It Is: ‘A Domestic Terror Org’

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt lit up The Washington Post during Tuesday&#8217;s briefing, shining a spotlight on what she called &#8220;one of the most ridiculous headlines ever&#8221; on the topic of drug seizures at the U.S.-Mexico border.
The article she highlighted was headlined, &#8220;The mysterious drop in fentanyl seizures on the U.S.-Mexico border,&#8221; and it purported to outline the &#8220;complex&#8221; reasons behind the fact that fentanyl seizures had plummeted in recent weeks. Leavitt argued that the reasons were neither complex nor mysterious, saying, as President Donald Trump has, that it could all be chalked up as the obvious result of the American people electing a different president.

&#8220;The Washington Post just ran one of the most ridiculous headlines ever — even by their standards,&#8221; Leavitt began. &#8220;And on my very first briefing, several months ago, I said I would hold anyone accountable in this room. The Washington Post actually had this headline: &#8216;The mysterious drop in fentanyl seizures on the U.S.-Mexico border.'&#8221;

&#8220;How is this mysterious?&#8221; Leavitt asked. &#8220;There is no mystery about why there is a decrease in fentanyl coming into the United States. This administration&#8217;s strong border policies are the reason there has been a decrease in fentanyl trafficking. [Trump&#8217;s] strengthened relationship with Mexican President Sheinbaum and all of the measures he has been taking to deter illegal human and drug trafficking at our United States southern border is the reason for plummeting fentanyl seizures at the U.S. border. There is nothing mysterious about that, and we&#8217;d like to see The Washington Post update their headline accordingly.&#8221;
Leavitt went on to say that the White House had provided WaPo with a lengthy list of the Trump administration policies that had brought about the drop in fentanyl seizures at the border, but that the outlet had refused to include them.
&#8220;This [is] clearly trying to intentionally manipulate the minds of the – Americans — and I think the American people understand why there&#8217;s been a fentanyl drop,&#8221; Leavitt said. &#8220;That&#8217;s despicable.&#8221;
