The United States swim team wrapped up the final day of competition in the pool with a pair of gold medals and world records to go with them.
Long-distance freestyler Bobby Finke delivered the first of the two gold medals in the 1500-meter freestyle — the only individual gold medal earned by a male swimmer on Team U.S.A. — and a new world record of 14:30.67.

Katie Ledecky — whose prowess in the long distance races across four Olympic Games has made her the most decorated American female Olympian in history — couldn&#8217;t contain her excitement as Finke, who trains with her under coach and former Olympian Anthony Nesty, swam to victory.

The men&#8217;s 4&#215;100 medley relay team took the silver medal — the only time other than the 1980 boycott of the Moscow Olympics that a U.S. men&#8217;s team has not taken the gold in that event.
The team lost to China in a major upset despite an impressive split from Caeleb Dressel in his butterfly leg — 49.41, four hundredths of a second under his own world record in the 100-meter butterfly, which was set in Tokyo in 2021.

U.S. Wraps Up Olympic Swimming With Another Gold Medal And A New World Record

House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries could do little but stand in the frame and appear uncomfortable during a Thursday interview on CNBC, as host Joe Kernen broke down the reasons he believed Democrats were fighting a losing battle in the ongoing government shutdown.
Jeffries spoke to Kernen about the shutdown — which has just passed the week mark — and attempted to justify the fact that Democrats were holding out in a blatant effort to undo by temper tantrum what Republicans had done through the legislative process.

🚨 BREAKING: Hakeem Jeffries was just EMBARRASSED for holding the government hostage&#8230;holy smokes. This was bad.

&#8220;There was an election, and the Republicans were put in a position where they were able to pass the Big Beautiful Bill, or as you call it the ‘Big Ugly Bill.’ To then say, &#8216;We don’t like any of that, so we’re going to shut down the government until you take back all the things that you duly passed through legislation &#8230;'&#8221; Kernen began, arguing that if the shoe were on the other foot, Democrats would be angry — and rightfully so.
&#8220;If Republicans had tried to do that to the Inflation Reduction Act or the — any of the acts that Biden and that administration have passed — if they said we’re going to shut down the government because we don’t like any of those things you did, ‘we’re not going to pay our military, we are going to not allow the government to reopen until you do what we want’ – after an election where the American people put Democrats in power – you’d be going crazy!&#8221; he said.

&#8220;It&#8217;s not how it works! It&#8217;s bad, it&#8217;s bad precedent!&#8221; Kernen continued, noting that the Continuing Resolution — which would at least temporarily reopen the government — had already passed the House, but needed a handful of Senate votes.
Jeffries attempted to pivot, saying, &#8220;What is bad precedent is the Republican refusal to engage in bipartisan negotiations! &#8230; They&#8217;ve made the decision to shut the government down, they could open it now!&#8221;
&#8220;How could they do that?!&#8221; Kernen asked.
&#8220;I just explained it! The reality is they want to keep the government closed. Cruelty, from the very beginning of this administration, has been the point. The responsible thing to do is to sit down and negotiate a bipartisan path forward to address a very real health care crisis that&#8217;s upon us right now!&#8221; Jeffries said, visibly frustrated. He left out the fact that the only negotiations Democrats have said they&#8217;d agree to would necessarily include — as Kernen said — the undoing of provisions that Republicans passed as part of the One Big Beautiful Bill.

CNBC’s Joe Kernen Blisters Hakeem Jeffries Over Democrat-Fueled Shutdown

Seattle-based independent journalist Brandi Kruse declared on Wednesday that she is &#8220;living proof&#8221; that it&#8217;s possible to recover from Trump Derangement Syndrome (TDS) — and that she&#8217;s been &#8220;happier,&#8221; &#8220;healthier,&#8221; and even &#8220;more successful&#8221; since she did so.
Kruse joined President Donald Trump and a number of other guests for the White House&#8217;s roundtable discussion on Antifa and the Trump administration&#8217;s efforts to classify the militant organization as a domestic terror group, and she explained that her own experiences with Antifa in Seattle had ultimately led to her recovery from TDS.

&#8220;I was told by probably a dozen people not to tell you this,&#8221; she said to Trump. &#8220;I&#8217;m going to tell it to you anyway because it&#8217;s relevant to what we&#8217;re talking about. I&#8217;m living proof that you can recover from TDS.&#8221;
&#8220;I had strong ‘Trump Derangement Syndrome’ for probably eight years,&#8221; she admitted, and Trump began to smile. &#8220;It&#8217;s the — this is one of the reasons I recovered from it. And by the way, it&#8217;s much better to not have TDS. I&#8217;m happier, I&#8217;m healthier, more successful, I even think I got a little more attractive after I got rid of my Trump Derangement Syndrome.&#8221;
Laughs came from all around the table at that last comment, and then Kruse pivoted to address the media outlets in the room and the reason she was there: &#8220;Frankly, I could not care any less what any of you have to say about this meeting. Could not care any less. We&#8217;re not here for you. I&#8217;m not here to convince any of you that Antifa is a real thing, because if you have not come to that conclusion by now, you are never going to come to that conclusion because you don&#8217;t want to see it.&#8221;

She went on to predict that they&#8217;d go out and report that the meeting was little more than &#8220;a bunch of right-wing, conservative influencers&#8221; who were chasing clout and social media followers.
&#8220;I was one of you,&#8221; she reminded them, noting that she&#8217;d been a television reporter on a mainstream media network, and she&#8217;d still been roughed up by Antifa rioters.
&#8220;When I saw, after all those years, that the media wouldn&#8217;t be honest about what was happening, that Democratic politicians wouldn&#8217;t be honest about what was happening, I thought, well, gosh, if they&#8217;re not being honest about that, maybe they&#8217;re not being honest about President Trump either. And it opened my mind to just looking at things as they were — and now I find you quite funny, actually,&#8221; she concluded, prompting more laughs from around the room.

Seattle Reporter Says She’s ‘Living Proof’ Recovery From Trump Derangement Syndrome Is Possible

Former Rep. Katie Porter (D-CA) is fighting off a wave of self-made crises, the most recent of which features a video obtained by <a href="https://www.politico.com/news/2025/10/08/katie-porter-tears-into-staffer-new-video-00598942">Politico</a> in which she can be seen swearing at and berating one of her staffers for appearing in her shot while she recorded a video meeting with then Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm.
Porter, who pivoted from her Senate loss to Senator Adam Schiff (D-CA) to a run for the governorship of California when Governor Gain Newsom (D-CA) terms out in a year, paused her meeting with Granholm to tell the unnamed staffer to &#8220;get out of my f***ing shot!&#8221;

Just days earlier, video from a mid-September interview went viral and <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/california-dem-flips-walks-out-on-reporter-for-asking-basic-questions">Porter</a> could be seen balking at a CBS reporter who dared to ask her pointed questions — with follow-ups — about how she planned to reach the 40% of California voters who had voted for President Donald Trump in 2024. Porter visibly bristled, claimed she didn&#8217;t need those voters to win, and then flatly refused to answer questions that were not &#8220;on the list.&#8221;
Porter was also accused of <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/hot-potatoes-and-insults-fly-in-report-detailing-allegations-from-katie-porters-messy-divorce">throwing mashed potatoes</a> at her now ex-husband Matthew Hoffman and of refusing to allow him to have a cell phone because he was, in her words, &#8220;too f***ing dumb to operate it.&#8221;
As Chris Cillizza quickly <a href="https://x.com/ChrisCillizza/status/1976074662124847508">noted via X</a>, the biggest problem for Porter is not any one incident, but them all together: &#8220;The problem for Katie Porter is none of these are isolated incidents. They speak to a pattern of borderline abusive behavior toward staff and others. And they appear to show who she *really* is. I don’t see how she can stay in the governor’s race.&#8221;
Porter told Politico in a statement, &#8220;It’s no secret I hold myself and my staff to a high standard, and that was especially true as a member of Congress. I have sought to be more intentional in showing gratitude to my staff for their important work.&#8221;

New Episode Drops In Katie Porter Drama: Staffer Takes Verbal Abuse For Being ‘In My Shot’

Just before President Donald Trump announced to the world that a deal had been reached between Israel and the terrorist group Hamas, a photo circulated of the moment Secretary of State Marco Rubio leaned in to inform him that an agreement was imminent.
Trump was in the middle of a roundtable discussion about Antifa, the violent group agitating protests and riots in places like Portland, Oregon, when Rubio stepped in and briefly interrupted. Trump quickly informed those seated around the table that he might be needed shortly.
Associated Press photographer Evan Vucci shared a photo of the iconic moment – along with a glimpse of the handwritten note Rubio had handed to the president: &#8220;Very close. We need you to approve a Truth Social post soon so you can announce deal first.&#8221;

Trump did announce the deal a short time later, saying via his Truth Social platform, &#8220;BLESSED ARE THE PEACEMAKERS!&#8221;
&#8220;I am very proud to announce that Israel and Hamas have both signed off on the first Phase of our Peace Plan. This means that ALL of the Hostages will be released very soon, and Israel will withdraw their Troops to an agreed upon line as the first steps toward a Strong, Durable, and Everlasting Peace,&#8221; Trump said. &#8220;All Parties will be treated fairly! This is a GREAT Day for the Arab and Muslim World, Israel, all surrounding Nations, and the United States of America, and we thank the mediators from Qatar, Egypt, and Turkey, who worked with us to make this Historic and Unprecedented Event happen.&#8221;
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu also issued a statement immediately after the deal was reached.
&#8220;With the approval of the first phase of the plan, all our hostages will be brought home. This is a diplomatic success and a national and moral victory for the State of Israel. From the beginning, I made it clear: we will not rest until all our hostages return and all our goals are achieved,&#8221; he posted.
&#8220;Through steadfast resolve, powerful military action, and the great efforts of our great friend and ally President Trump, we have reached this critical turning point. I thank President Trump for his leadership, his partnership, and his unwavering commitment to the safety of Israel and the freedom of our hostages,&#8221; he continued. &#8220;God Bless Israel. God Bless America. God Bless our great alliance.&#8221;
The deal, according to a White House official with knowledge of the situation, &#8220;goes to the Israeli cabinet tomorrow. Once they vote yes, Israel has to withdraw to the line which should take under 24 hours. Then the 72 hour clock begins, and Hamas will try to go earlier if possible. Our assessment is that hostages will begin getting released on Monday.&#8221;

SEE IT: Photo Captures What Was On The Note Rubio Handed Trump Ahead Of Peace Deal

Embattled Virginia Democrat attorney general nominee Jay Jones walked away from a reckless driving charge with a slap on the wrist in 2022. That same charge resulted in suspended licenses and jail time for many other Virginia residents.
Jones, who is already under fire for 2022 texts that advocated for the assassination of former Virginia state House Speaker Todd Gilbert (R), was convicted of reckless driving that same year after he was caught driving 116 miles per hour in a 70 mph zone. In addition to a $1500 fine, he was ordered to complete 1000 hours of community service.
According to data reviewed by <a href="https://wjla.com/news/local/virginia-residents-jail-time-reckless-driving-jay-jones-community-service-virginia-democrat-attorney-general-candidate-new-kent-county-speeding">7News</a> — an Arlington, Virginia, ABC affiliate — Jones appears to have been handled with kid gloves by the court system in the Commonwealth of Virginia, and others who committed similar infractions have faced much steeper consequences.
Reporter Nick Minock found that others who were convicted of similar speeding infractions — in approximately a dozen cases — often faced jail time in addition to fines and suspended licenses.
<a class="c-link" href="https://get.dailywire.com/subscribe/plus/?utm_campaign=fall40&amp;utm_content=fallsale&amp;utm_medium=website&amp;utm_source=editorial" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" data-stringify-link="https://get.dailywire.com/subscribe/plus/?utm_campaign=fall40&amp;utm_content=fallsale&amp;utm_medium=website&amp;utm_source=editorial" data-sk="tooltip_parent">Get 40% off new DailyWire+ annual memberships with code FALL40 at checkout!</a>
One case in particular involved a man who was caught driving 115 miles per hour in a 70 mph zone — an infraction nearly identical to Jones&#8217; — and in addition to a $2000 fine, he spent ten days behind bars, and lost his license for six months. Even after he got his license back, he was only permitted to drive to and from work.
Others in the cases reviewed by 7News faced similar fines and license suspensions, and one even spent 20 days in jail.
Jones is facing continued backlash from his 2022 text messages. A number of Republicans have called on him to drop out of the race. Democrats have been hedging their bets, however, saying that they believe his comments were reprehensible but stopping short of withdrawing endorsements or demanding that he step out of the race.
The Virginia Law Enforcement Sheriff’s Association joined the growing number calling for him to bow out on Tuesday, and released a public statement to that effect.
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">

&#8220;This call for violence against a family of the Commonwealth of Virginia and law enforcement is disgusting and unacceptable,&#8221; the statement read in part, before addressing Jones directly: &#8220;Sir, you need to hold yourself accountable and immediately withdraw from the Attorney General race.&#8221;

Jay Jones Walked On Speeding Charge That Landed Others In Jail

Former Rep. Katie Porter (D-CA), fresh off her Senate loss to Senator Adam Schiff (D-CA), raised some eyebrows with a contentious interview that went viral on Tuesday despite the fact that it first aired in mid-September.
Porter, currently vying for the governorship of California, sat down with CBS reporter Julie Watts to discuss several key issues — and Porter became progressively agitated as Watts dared to ask pointed questions and follow-ups, her reaction suggesting that she was not accustomed to reporters asking her real questions.

The first question was a gimme, as Watts asked Porter what she thought of current Governor Gavin Newsom’s (D-CA) plan to redraw the state’s congressional districts, and Porter said she was in favor of that. But then Watts asked Porter what her plan was to win over some of the 40% of voters who had voted for President Donald Trump in 2024. California’s gubernatorial race utilizes a “Top-Two” primary system, in which the two candidates with the highest vote totals — regardless of party affiliation — advance to the general election.

“What do you say to the 40% of California voters who you’ll need in order to win, who voted for Trump?” Watts asked.
Porter appeared genuinely taken aback by the question: “How would I need them in order to win, ma&#8217;am?”
“Well, unless you think you&#8217;re going to get 60% of the vote. You think you&#8217;ll get 60%? Everybody who did not vote for Trump will vote for you?” Watts clarified. “That&#8217;s what you&#8217;re saying?”
“In a general election, yes,” Porter insisted. “If it is me versus a Republican, I think that I will win the people who did not vote for Trump.”
“What if it&#8217;s you versus another Democrat?” Watts asked.
“I don’t intend that to be the case,” Porter said.
A longer clip from the interview showed what happened when Watts continued to press Porter on the issue …

“So how do you intend that not to be the case? Do you — are you going to ask them not to run?” Watts asked, referencing other Democrats in the race.
“No, I’m saying I’m going to build the support, I have the support already in terms of name recognition, and so I’m going to do the very best I can to make sure that we get through this primary in a really strong position,” Porter said. “But let me be clear with you: I represented Orange County. I represented a purple area. I have stood on my own two feet and won Republican votes before. And that’s not something that every candidate in this race can say.”
She went on to say that other candidates from deep blue areas might not have the same ability to win Republican votes — but Watts kept pressing.
“But you just said you don&#8217;t need those Trump voters,” she said.
“But you asked me if I needed them to win,” Porter pointed out.
“So you don&#8217;t —” Watts pushed back.
Porter put up a hand to stop Watts and complained, “I feel like this is unnecessarily argumentative. What is your question?”
“The question is the same thing I asked everybody,” Watts said, showing Porter her notes and adding, “Every other candidate has answered this question; it&#8217;s not argumentative. The question is, &#8216;What do you say to the 40% of voters who voted for Trump?&#8217;”
“Oh, I&#8217;m happy to say that,” Porter said. “It&#8217;s the &#8216;do you need them to win&#8217; part that I don&#8217;t understand. And I&#8217;m happy to answer the question — ask the question as you have it written, and I&#8217;ll answer it.”
“And we&#8217;ve also asked the other candidates, do you think you need any of those 40% of California voters to win, and you&#8217;re saying no, you don&#8217;t,” Watts continued.
“No, I&#8217;m saying I&#8217;m going to try to win every vote I can,” Porter protested, visibly frustrated. “And what I&#8217;m saying to you is that —”
“Well, to those voters, okay, so you —” Watts attempted one more time.
“I don&#8217;t want to keep doing this. I&#8217;m going to call it,” Porter abruptly ended the interview and began fussing with her microphone.
“You&#8217;re not going to do the interview?” Watts asked, clearly baffled by Porter’s behavior.
“Nope, not like this I&#8217;m not,” Porter declared. “Not with seven follow-ups to every single question you ask.”
Watts protested, “Every other candidate has answered follow-ups.”
“I don’t care!” Porter clapped her hands together once to emphasize her point. “I want to have a pleasant, positive conversation in which you ask me about every issue on this list. And if every question, you’re going to make up a follow-up question, then we’re never going to get there … I have never had to do this before, ever!”

Ep. 1671 - It’s Time To Crush The Leftist Insurrection Once And For All

What if the “magic solution” we were promised was actually poisoning an entire generation of women?

In today’s episode, Isabel Brown dives deep into the shocking Depo-Provera class action lawsuit — where Pfizer’s birth control injection is being accused of causing thousands of women to develop brain tumors.

For decades, we’ve been told that birth control would fix everything — acne, cramps, emotions, your “freedom.” But no one told us about the massive health costs hiding behind those promises.

Today on The Isabel Brown Show we're covering:
 • The latest updates on the Pfizer Depo-Provera brain tumor lawsuits
 • What new studies say about meningioma risks linked to the shot
 • Why Big Pharma and mainstream media have buried this story
 • Real life testimony from women sharing their birth control horror stories
 • Isabel’s personal mission to expose the “slow-release poison” that’s been sold to women for profit

Let’s wake up, ladies. We’ve been lied to for long enough. It’s time to reclaim our bodies, our health, and our truth.
