A jury in Miami found that Tesla was partly to blame for a fatal 2019 crash that killed a young woman and severely wounded her boyfriend. It was the first federal trial involving a fatal crash linked to Tesla&#8217;s Autopilot mode.
The verdict, which came down on Friday, found that Tesla and its self-driving technology were 33% responsible for the crash, with the remainder of the blame falling on the driver, George Brian McGee, The New York Times <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2025/08/01/business/tesla-autopilot-federal-trial-verdict.html">reported</a>. Tesla could be forced to pay as much as $243 million to the parents of the deceased woman, Naibel Benavides, and her boyfriend, Dillon Angulo — but Elon Musk&#8217;s electric vehicle company said it would appeal the jury&#8217;s verdict.
“Today’s verdict is wrong and only works to set back automotive safety and jeopardize Tesla’s and the entire industry’s efforts to develop and implement lifesaving technology,” Tesla said.
“Florida law is explicit that punitive damages have been all but eliminated in product liability cases such as this one,” the company added. “We are confident that the punitive damage award at a minimum, and likely this whole verdict, will be overturned by the appellate court.”
The crash at the center of the case took place on April 25, 2019, when McGee was driving his Tesla Model S near Key Largo, Florida, and blew through an intersection at 62 mph, crashing into a black SUV that was legally parked on the side of a dirt road near the intersection. The Tesla was in Autopilot mode at the time of the crash, but McGee had his foot on the accelerator, which overrides Autopilot mode. Before he reached the intersection, McGee dropped his phone and bent down to look for it, and told police that he did not see the intersection or the stop sign.
McGee said on the stand that he thought Tesla&#8217;s Autopilot mode would protect him from a crash.
Lawyers representing the plaintiffs in the federal trial argued that Musk and Tesla have exaggerated Tesla&#8217;s Autopilot technology.
“The Tesla car is a good car,” attorney Brett Schreiber said, according to the <a href="https://www.miamiherald.com/news/local/community/florida-keys/article311553847.html">Miami Herald</a>. “It’s the Autopilot that will kill you.”
During the trial, Schreiber also quoted Musk, who has said that Tesla&#8217;s autopilot system is safer than a human driver.
Tesla&#8217;s lawyers pinned the entire blame for the crash on McGee, who was on his phone for 13 minutes before the crash, and was driving at varying speeds. Joel Smith, a lawyer representing Tesla, said McGee was &#8220;reckless&#8221; and &#8220;aggressive,&#8221; adding that “no car could have prevented” the crash. Smith also pointed to Tesla&#8217;s owner&#8217;s manual, which states, “It is the drivers’ responsibility to stay alert, drive safely and be in control of the vehicle.”
The jury&#8217;s verdict comes as Tesla looks to roll out self-driving robotaxis on American streets. The first robotaxis <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/tesla-shares-soar-after-first-robotaxis-hit-the-road">hit the road</a> for testing in Austin, Texas, in June.

Florida high school students were drilled for being straight, asked to consider being gay, and told that straight people are to blame for overpopulation, according to course materials obtained by The Daily Wire.
During a course for high school children in Miami-Dade County, students were assigned to complete a sexuality-focused questionnaire that asked a series of bizarre questions such as: &#8220;What do you think caused your heterosexuality?&#8221;; &#8220;Is it possible that being straight is just a phase you may grow out of?”; and, “Considering the menace of hunger and overpopulation, could the human race survive if everyone were straight like yourself?”
Parents were shocked to learn that a professor made their children answer questions like this as part of a Miami-Dade College course being offered to high schoolers. The<a href="https://www.mdc.edu/asa/documents/competencies/pdf/SLS1510%20Preparing%20for%20Student%20Success.pdf"> course</a>, called &#8220;Preparing for Student Success,&#8221; was designed for students to develop academic goals and come up with strategies to succeed in college and offered in Miami-Dade County, an area that has<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/floridas-miami-dade-county-flips-red-in-voter-registration-for-first-time-in-history"> turned red</a> in recent years. 
“It&#8217;s not normal. I mean imagine if a person, anyone, goes close to your son and asks him these questions, I’d call the police,” a concerned mother whose son was enrolled in the class told The Daily Wire. “It&#8217;s perversion. Why are you talking about their sexuality to 15-year-old boys or girls? It&#8217;s absolutely sick. It’s sick.”
Other questions posed to the children included, &#8220;To whom have you disclosed your straight tendencies?&#8221; and &#8220;Why do you insist on showing off your heterosexuality?&#8221; The questionnaire ended by asking students what their reaction to it was and &#8220;about the assumptions you hold about what others are like.&#8221;
The questions come from the textbook &#8220;POWER: Strategies for Success in College and Life&#8221; by Robert Feldman, a senior research associate at the University of Massachusetts Amherst. The textbook was printed by McGraw Hill, one of the largest academic publishers in the United States whose products are used in 13,000 K-12 school districts across the country.
After being contacted by The Daily Wire, Miami-Dade College said that it had reviewed the assignment and determined that it would no longer be used.
&#8220;Miami-Dade College is committed to maintaining a safe, respectful, and academically sound learning environment for all students,&#8221; the college told The Daily Wire. &#8220;In response to concerns raised about a classroom assignment, we have conducted a thorough review of the assignment, and it will no longer be used. We expect all those who teach to uphold these standards and will ensure any necessary adjustments are made.&#8221;
The other questions on the assignment were as follows: &#8220;when and how did you decide you were straight?&#8221;; &#8220;is it possible that your heterosexuality stems from a neurotic fear of others of the same sex?&#8221;; &#8220;There seem to be many unhappy heterosexuals. Techniques have been developed that might enable you to change your sexual orientation. Have you considered changing?&#8221; and, &#8220;why do straights place so much emphasis on sex?&#8221;
According to the textbook, the questionnaire was adopted from the work of Martin Rochlin, a gay rights activist and founding member of the Gay and Lesbian Center of Los Angeles who developed the &#8220;Heterosexual Questionnaire&#8221; in 1972.
<div id="attachment_926763" style="width: 1060px" class="wp-caption alignnone"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-926763" class="size-full wp-image-926763" src="https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2025/05/Screenshot-2025-05-29-at-10.02.29%E2%80%AFAM.png" alt="" width="1050" height="1030" srcset="https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2025/05/Screenshot-2025-05-29-at-10.02.29%E2%80%AFAM.png 1050w, https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2025/05/Screenshot-2025-05-29-at-10.02.29%E2%80%AFAM-300x294.png 300w, https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2025/05/Screenshot-2025-05-29-at-10.02.29%E2%80%AFAM-587x576.png 587w, https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2025/05/Screenshot-2025-05-29-at-10.02.29%E2%80%AFAM-768x753.png 768w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 1050px) 100vw, 1050px" />McGraw Hill textbook questionnaire used in Miami-Dade County.</div>
The concerned mother whose son was forced to take the quiz told The Daily Wire that the questionnaire was included in the textbook as means of indoctrination.
She noted that dual enrollment classes are typically recommended for students looking to receive Florida&#8217;s Bright Futures Scholarship, a lottery funded-scholarship for top performing high school academic achievers. She said that teachers should avoid discussing issues of sexuality altogether.
&#8220;You don&#8217;t talk about these things, especially with kids. If you are a math teacher, you teach math,” she said. “These types of courses shouldn&#8217;t exist.”
She also voiced concerns about another questionnaire featured in the textbook on its chapter on diversity. One activity encourages students to determine the diversity of their campus by getting statistics of how many racial minorities attend their school, while another encourages them to &#8220;check your stereotype quotient.&#8221; That includes questions like, &#8220;If you found out that a star professional football player is gay, would you be surprised?&#8221;
The mother told The Daily Wire that she was contacted by the office of the president of Miami-Dade College and assured her that concerns would be addressed. They said the school told them that the quiz would no longer be administered and indicated that they would focus their teaching on what was academically appropriate.
Some parents believe that the content in the quiz may violate<a href="http://www.leg.state.fl.us/statutes/index.cfm?App_mode=Display_Statute&amp;URL=1000-1099/1006/Sections/1006.31.html"> Florida law</a> requiring content to be &#8220;accurate, objective, balanced&#8221; and &#8220;noninflammatory.&#8221;
In its statement to The Daily Wire, Miami-Dade College said that it would continue to provide education that follows state requirements.
&#8220;We are committed to creating a learning environment where students are successful and have the support to achieve academic excellence through fair and unbiased grading practices. We appreciate the engagement of our students, families, and school partners as we remain focused on delivering high-quality education that adheres to state guidelines,&#8221; the college said
The controversy over the curriculum comes as Miami-Dade County has shifted significantly to the right electorally in recent years. President Donald Trump won the county by over 10 points in 2024. The number of registered Republicans in the county also<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/floridas-miami-dade-county-flips-red-in-voter-registration-for-first-time-in-history"> just eclipsed</a> Democrats for the first time in history.

For the first time in history, there are more registered Republicans than Democrats in Florida&#8217;s Miami-Dade County.
Florida’s Voice <a href="https://flvoicenews.com/historic-first-miami-dade-county-flips-red-as-democrats-sink-further/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reported </a>464,370 Republicans and 440,790 Democrats are now registered to vote in Miami-Dade County, one of Florida&#8217;s blue strongholds, as of Monday morning. That means a whopping 59 of 67 counties in Florida are now red.
“Miami-Dade County has completed its off-year voter roll maintenance, and this morning, it shed 172,747 voters from its active rolls,” Michael Pruser, Decision Desk HQ’s director of data science, stated. “The change netted Republicans more than 38,000 voters compared to Democrats, and the county has now flipped to Republican by registration. Today marks Republicans’ first-ever lead in voter registration in Miami-Dade.”
Florida’s remarkable change from an evenly divided state to a red one is largely attributed to the success of Florida&#8217;s Republican governor, Ron DeSantis. In 2021, a <a href="https://thecapitolist.com/desantis-posts-strong-approval-in-latest-florida-chamber-poll/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">poll</a> conducted by the Florida Chamber of Commerce showed that the 14.5 million registered voters in Florida were almost exactly split between Republicans and Democrats. According to the <a href="https://dos.myflorida.com/elections/data-statistics/voter-registration-statistics/voter-registration-reportsxlsx/voter-registration-by-county-and-party/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Florida Department of State</a>, there were 5,290,465 registered Democrats, 5,185,744 Republicans, 3,832,070 independents with no party affiliation (NPAs), and 247,108 voters affiliated with another party.
By November 2021, fully one year before the reelection of DeSantis, who had narrowly won the governorship in 2018, <a href="https://www.politico.com/states/florida/story/2021/11/04/no-million-dollar-checks-democratic-governors-may-sit-out-florida-1392319">POLITICO</a> reported that the Democratic Governors Association would not give any significant financial aid to any Democrat opposing DeSantis’ re-election in 2022, choosing to focus on races it thought Democrats could win. On October 31, POLITICO <a href="https://www.politico.com/states/florida/story/2021/10/31/florida-democrats-anxious-as-desantis-seems-unbeatable-1392147" target="_blank" rel="noopener">admitted</a>, “Gov. Ron DeSantis appears unstoppable.” Indeed, he was, winning virtually 60% of the vote in November 2022 in a landslide.
President Donald Trump, who won the state narrowly in both 2016 and 2020, ran away with it in 2024, ultimately winning by double-digits. The Associated Press said it was comfortable calling the race when it saw that Trump was on track to win Miami-Dade County. Trump built on the success of DeSantis, who two years earlier became for first Republican to carry Miami-Dade in a statewide contest in two decades.
Last week, the Florida Department of State <a href="https://dos.fl.gov/elections/data-statistics/voter-registration-statistics/voter-registration-reports/voter-registration-by-party-affiliation/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reported</a> that there were now 5,578,457 registered GOP voters in Florida and 4,329,271 registered Democrats. That means that the GOP went from 50.5% of registered voters in 2021 to 56.3%, a massive 5.8 point shift in less than four years, with virtually all the time being during a Democratic presidential tenure.
In his tenure as governor, DeSantis has governed as a staunch conservative; he took massive heat for keeping the state open during the COVID pandemic, signed legislation requiring government employers and contractors to use E-Verify, terminated cooperation with a program to relocate illegal immigrants, advocated for more school choice, banned the teaching of Critical Race Theory in schools, banned China from buying land in the state, handled disasters such as Hurricanes Ian and Nicole with aplomb, for which he was widely praised, banned men from competing in women’s sports as far back as 2021, and introduced a $5,000 signing bonus for those wanting to be Florida police officers.

<a href="https://www.ufc.com/event/ufc-314">UFC 314</a> hits the Kaseya Center in Miami, Florida, on Saturday, promising an electrifying night of fighting, brought to you in part by <a href="https://www.jeremysrazors.com/">Jeremy’s Razors</a>. 
Tonight’s card promises the intensity and star power that fans have come to expect from the UFC. The night will showcase a much-anticipated featherweight championship clash, but even before the main event, UFC 314 will entertain with a stacked lineup poised to deliver unforgettable moments under the Miami lights.
<h3>Main Event: Alexander Volkanovski vs. Diego Lopes – Featherweight Title on the Line</h3>
The night’s marquee matchup pits former featherweight king Alexander Volkanovski (26-4) against surging contender Diego Lopes (26-6) with the UFC Featherweight Championship up for grabs. 
Volkanovski, a veteran tactician known for his relentless pace and striking precision, is looking to reclaim the title. After a storied reign that saw him fend off the division’s elite, “The Great” is looking to revive his career after two consecutive losses in title fights. The 36-year-old Australian’s experience and adaptability will be key as he aims to reassert his dominance.
Standing across the Octagon is Diego Lopes, a Brazilian dynamo riding a wave of momentum. With an aggressive grappling game and a knack for finishing fights — 21 of his 26 wins come by stoppage — Lopes has emerged as a threatening opponent. His recent string of victories has catapulted him into title contention, and at 30 years old, he’s hungry to seize this golden opportunity. 
<h3>Lightweight Showdown: Michael Chandler vs. Paddy Pimblett </h3>
In the co-main event, lightweight fan favorites Michael Chandler (23-9) and Paddy “The Baddy” Pimblett (22-3) collide in a five-round battle. 
Chandler, a former Bellator champion known for his explosive power and wrestling pedigree, has become a UFC staple thanks to his all-action approach. Paddy Pimblett, meanwhile, brings his brash charisma and unorthodox flair to the Octagon. The 30-year-old Liverpudlian has won over fans with his slick submissions and relentless energy, riding a seven-fight win streak into this matchup. 
<h3>Featherweight Bout: Yair Rodriguez vs. Patricio “Pitbull”</h3>
The Mexican sensation Yair Rodriguez faces off against Brazilian Patricio Pitbull, who is making his UFC debut. Rodriguez, a top-five featherweight fighter, is known for his versatility, blending kicks, spins, and unpredictable movements to keep his opponents guessing. 
Pitbull is new to the UFC, but is considered one of the greatest fighters in Bellator MMA history, winning three Bellator Featherweight crowns. Pitbull goes after his opponents with relentless aggression in the ring and is an expert grappler. 
<h3>Another Featherweight Fight: Bryce Mitchell vs. Jean Silva</h3>
American mixed martial artist Bryce Mitchell enters the ring against Brazilian Jean Silva. Mitchell, sitting at a 17-3 record, is a suffocating grappler with a knack for turning takedowns into submissions.
Silva, at 15-2, is a knockout king, finishing off his rivals with devastating blows. Silva pairs that power with endurance and durability — holding an incredible ability to absorb opponents’ punches before wearing them down and delivering a decisive strike.  
<h3>Light Heavyweight Faceoff: Nikita Krylov vs. Dominick Reyes</h3>
In this bout, Nikita Krylov (30-9) goes up against Dominick Reyes (14-4) in what’s sure to get fans riled up. 
Krylov blends heavy-handed striking and high-level grappling, using his 77.5-inch reach to overwhelm opponents. He’s also dangerous on the ground, doling out numerous submissions. Reyes, known as &#8220;The Devastator,&#8221; relies on sharp jabs and brutal head kicks. Reyes is a big threat early in fights, using footwork to dictate pace, and his athletic background fuels his explosive bursts. 
<h3>Key Prelim Fights</h3>
The prelims also feature notable bouts, including Chase Hooper vs. Jim Miller, Dan Ige vs. Sean Woodson, and Darren Elkins vs. Julian Erosa. In the Women’s Strawweight, Virna Jandiroba goes up against Xiaonan Yan. Jandiroba (20-3) and Yan (15-3) square off in a grappler vs. striker matchup that could shake up the strawweight rankings.
You can also get in on the action with early prelims beginning at 5:00 p.m. CT.

President Donald Trump will speak at a Saudi Arabia-backed summit on Wednesday in Miami, just a day after Secretary of State Marco Rubio met with Russian officials in Riyadh.
The FII Priority Summit is hosted by Saudi Arabia&#8217;s sovereign wealth fund and attended by global tech executives and financiers, <a href="https://www.reuters.com/world/us/trump-poised-attend-saudi-backed-conference-miami-february-sources-say-2025-02-12/">Reuters first reported</a>. The president will deliver remarks at the summit, several people with knowledge of the event told Reuters. FII describes itself as a &#8220;global non-profit foundation&#8221; with interests in AI and robotics, education, healthcare, and more.
According to White House scheduling, Trump will participate in the summit at 5:00 p.m. ET on Wednesday and will return to the White House Wednesday evening.
It&#8217;s not immediately clear what the president will speak on, but the event comes only a day after Rubio <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/trump-team-meets-russian-officials-in-saudi-arabia-to-discuss-ending-ukraine-war">met</a> with Russian officials in the Saudi capital to discuss an end to the war in Ukraine, as well as foreign ministers of France, Germany, Italy, and the United Kingdom, as well as the European Union&#8217;s High Representative for Foreign Affairs. Trump&#8217;s appearance, like Rubio&#8217;s meeting, could signal the Trump administration&#8217;s interest in forging a strategic partnership with the Saudis.
Trump&#8217;s Middle East Envoy Steve Witkoff will also participate in a session moderated by Jared Kushner, Trump&#8217;s son-in-law and the CEO of Affinity Partners, a private equity firm.
That session will deal with the question: &#8220;Is a new era of US-Middle East economic cooperation dawning?&#8221;

Trump&#8217;s remarks also come as he seriously considers plans to relocate around two million Palestinians from Gaza to Egypt, Jordan, and other Arab countries, allowing for the United States to “take over&#8221; the region and to create an economy that would “supply unlimited numbers of jobs and housing for the people of the area.”
Trump has also said that America would work “with great development teams from all over the World” to rebuild the territory that has been controlled by Hamas terrorists, adding that no American troops would be needed on the ground.
“With the United States being in control of that piece of land … you can have stability in the Middle East for the first time,” Trump <a href="https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cx2jz020ny0o" target="_blank" rel="noopener">told</a> reporters at the White House earlier this month. “And the Palestinians, or the people that live now in Gaza, will be living beautifully in another location.”

The recent unveiling of a statue to honor <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/nba">NBA</a> star <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/dwyane-wade">Dwyane Wade</a> by the Miami Heat quickly sparked reactions from fans, who mostly agreed the tribute looks nothing like the man himself.
The statue was commissioned by the Heat and created by sculptors Omri Amrany and Oscar León from Rotblatt Amrany Studio. It was intended to celebrate Wade’s lasting impact on the franchise, but many fans saw nothing but the fact that the features didn’t resemble Wade.
Wade was honored with a ceremony, and the new statue was unveiled outside the Kaseya Center in Miami on Sunday. The statue is supposed to be of Wade doing the &#8220;This is my house&#8221; pose, per <a href="https://www.si.com/nba/miami-heat-dwyane-wade-statue-roasted">Sports Illustrated</a>.
“The Miami Heat should’ve had a contest where they showed this picture to 1,000 fans — and anyone who guesses it’s Dwyane Wade gets to keep the statue,” one social media user <a href="https://x.com/JeffDarlington/status/1850668926671241616">wrote</a> on X.
“This statue is so bad it’s making me forget what Dwayne [sic] Wade actually looks like,” another comment <a href="https://x.com/OG_Rad_Hatter/status/1850663483488239826">said</a>. “The longer I look, the harder it is for me to picture his real face.”
“They did him dirty with that sculpture. In no way does that remotely look like Dwyane Wade,” another wrote.
“Why is Dwayne Wade [sic] unveiling a statue of Laurence Fishburne??” another wondered.

Wade also seemed to react to the lack of resemblance, saying during his speech, “Like that’s crazy, I can’t believe it, like who is that guy?” while gesturing towards the statue.

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
Wade was not the first athlete to see a statue meant to resemble him go viral for the wrong reason.
A bronze bust of NFL star Peyton Manning made headlines after its unveiling in 2021, with fans saying it didn’t even come close to capturing the look of the former top pick of the NFL draft. 
Soccer legend Cristiano Ronaldo was honored with a bronze bust that was mocked for looking nothing like him, leading to his brother having a new statue <a href="https://bleacherreport.com/articles/2781589-ronaldo-sculptor-emanuel-santos-devastated-as-bust-swapped-at-madeira-airport">commissioned</a> just one year after its unveiling in 2017.

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Tyreek Hill said this week that the police officer who detained him after pulling him over just hours before kickoff on Sunday should lose his job over the incident.
Video from outside Hard Rock Stadium, where the Dolphins were gearing up for their season opener against the Jacksonville Jaguars, went viral as Hill was forcefully brought to the ground and handcuffed following a verbal spat with the officer.
During the incident, Dolphins defensive tackle Calais Campbell pulled over to de-escalate the situation but was quickly handcuffed.

“He gotta go, man,” Hill said, “Because in that instance right there, like not only did he treat me bad — you know what I’m saying — he also treated my teammates with disrespect. He had some crazy words towards them and they ain’t even do nothing! Like, what did they do to you? They’re just walking on the sidewalk. So, I don’t know, bro.

<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/travis-scott-in-trouble-again-with-law-after-paris-arrest">Travis Scott</a> was released from jail after being arrested in Paris on Friday for an alleged assault of a security guard and will face no charges.
Sources close to the 33-year-old rapper — born Jacques Bermon Webster — told the <a href="https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/music-news/travis-scott-paris-arrest-1235970424/">Hollywood Reporter</a> that there are no plans to charge the rapper and that no one was injured when Webster was taken into custody at the five-star George V hotel in the French capital after a security guard attempted to break up an alleged fight between the rapper and his bodyguard.
Sources told the outlet that there was no injury to Scott’s bodyguard and that it was nothing more than authorities in France overreacting to a verbal argument between the two.
The Paris prosecutor’s office told <a href="https://variety.com/2024/global/entertainers/travis-scott-arrested-in-paris-1236101344/">Variety</a> that the offense was “insufficiently characterized” and that no charges will be brought against the rapper.
On Friday, Prosecutors in France confirmed to <a href="https://people.com/travis-scott-arrested-paris-fight-with-bodyguard-luxury-hotel-8693055?hid=4f90b78dc31e627328d98338e1fa49d03b364abc&amp;did=14111681-20240809&amp;utm_campaign=ppl-newsalert_relationship-builder&amp;utm_source=ppl&amp;utm_medium=email&amp;utm_content=080924&amp;lctg=4f90b78dc31e627328d98338e1fa49d03b364abc&amp;lr_input=a08f4ce0dc67f7e22d138c82b9ce538ad294bfaca0b145e2f563962e58e05ef7">People magazine</a> that in the early morning hours, police took the 33-year-old rapper into custody.

“I can confirm that on August 9, 2024, shortly after 5 a.m., the police were called to the Georges V Hotel and arrested the man nicknamed Travis Scott for assaulting a security guard,” the prosecutor’s officer said previously.
“The latter had himself intervened to separate the rapper from his bodyguard,” the statement added. “The 1st judicial police district was seized of the investigation by the Paris prosecutor’s office.”
A representative for the rapper said, at the time, “We are in direct communication with the local Parisian authorities to swiftly resolve this matter and will provide updates when appropriate.”
“After multiple days of being chased and harassed by paparazzi upon entering his hotel early this morning and another evening of being swarmed with no help given Travis was arrested at his hotel after unfortunately getting into a fight with his own security detail, his bodyguard,” a source close to Scott said.
The arrest came 24 hours after <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/travis-scott">Scott</a> dodged one of two charges after being arrested in June in Miami Beach, Florida, for disorderly intoxication and trespassing property after yelling at people on a yacht, as previously <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/travis-scott-dodges-disorderly-intoxication-charge-after-being-arrested-in-miami">reported</a>.
Scott didn’t appear in court last week, but his attorney was on hand when prosecutors officially dropped the disorderly intoxication charge against his client, <a href="https://www.tmz.com/2024/08/08/travis-scott-miami-case-dropped/">TMZ</a> reported. However, the prosecution is still looking to charge the rapper with a misdemeanor trespassing charge, the outlet noted.
The rapper’s trial for the misdemeanor trespassing charge is set for September.

Rapper <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/travis-scott" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Travis Scott</a> was arrested in Miami Beach, Florida, on Thursday for disorderly intoxication and trespassing property after yelling at people on a yacht.
According to Miami Beach Police, the 33-year-old rapper &#8212; born Jacques Bermon Webster &#8212; was booked into Turner Guilford Knight Correctional Center in the early morning hours on Thursday with his bonds set at $500 and $150, <a href="https://wsvn.com/entertainment/rapper-travis-scott-arrested-in-miami-beach-for-trespassing-and-disorderly-intoxication/">WSVN</a> 7 in Miami reported.
Police said when they arrived at Miami Beach marina, officers saw Scott yelling at occupants of a vessel and that they smelled a strong scent of “alcohol coming from the defendant’s breath,”  <a href="https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/rapper-travis-scott-arrested-disorderly-intoxication-miami-dade-county-rcna158014">NBC News</a> reported.
At first, Scott complied with officers when they instructed him to sit down, but then he got up and continued. Police then instructed him to leave the area or risk being arrested. He left, but while walking away, he yelled “obscenities to the occupants of the vessel,” a Miami Beach Police arrest affidavit read.

However, a short time later, he returned to the marina and headed back to the yacht, before officers caught up with him.
Scott is reported as speaking to one sergeant and “becoming erratic” and “disturbing the peace of the occupants of the marina and nearby residential buildings causing public disturbance,” the arrest affidavit added, before he was taken into custody.

“Mr. Scott was briefly detained due to a misunderstanding,&#8221; his legal rep Bradford Cohen told NBC News. &#8220;There was absolutely no physical altercation involved, and we thank the authorities for working with us towards a swift and amicable resolution.”
Later, Scott took to <a href="https://x.com/trvisXX/status/1803801576340926973">X</a> and wrote about his arrest, noting his upcoming European tour.
“6 days to circus Maximus tour,” the rapper wrote. “For the record I’m going. Ham.”
The rapper also posted on his Instagram story about the arrest, including a picture of his mugshot and a second post using his mugshot but edited to include him wearing headphones and sunglasses.
He&#8217;s since been released from jail, WSVN noted. No word yet on whether he will need to appear in court to deal with the charges.
Scott shares two children with “Keeping Up With The Kardashians” star Kylie Jenner: Stormi, 6, and Aire, 2. The two are no longer together.

Former President Donald Trump and Florida Republican Governor Ron DeSantis reportedly held a private meeting on Sunday to discuss working together in the upcoming election.
The meeting in Miami, Florida, was set up by real-estate broker Steve Witkoff, who is a friend of Trump and has a relationship with DeSantis. Witkoff also attended the meeting.
The New York Times <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2024/04/28/us/politics/trump-desantis-meeting.html">reported</a> that the three men &#8220;met alone in a private room at Shell Bay,&#8221; a development and golf club that Witkoff owns.
Trump is looking for DeSantis&#8217; help in fundraising to keep up with President Joe Biden&#8217;s donations, and DeSantis is looking to get back to the point where he is viewed as a strong candidate for the 2028 presidential race, the report said.
POLITICO <a href="https://www.politico.com/news/2024/04/28/desantis-trump-meeting-miami-00154845">reported</a> that the meeting was a &#8220;pivotal turn&#8221; that &#8220;could help restore&#8221; the relationship between the two before the primary season.
The former president launched a series of attacks on DeSantis during the primary, with the governor responding by ramping up more direct criticisms of Trump as the race heated up. When DeSantis dropped out of the race and endorsed Trump, rhetoric from both men indicated there was still bad blood.
The Sunday meeting comes after DeSantis <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/desantis-to-launch-effort-raising-money-for-trumps-campaign-report">told</a> donors and supporters earlier this month about his plans to fundraise for the former president at a private retreat.

“I will follow the governor’s lead and I will do anything that he or President Trump ask me to do to help him win this election,” said Texas businessman Roy Bailey. “I know where there are DeSantis supporters all over Texas and all over the country that will want to help President Trump.”
“He’s committed to helping Trump in any and every way,” Bailey added. “If we can unlock and motivate our donors for Trump and put more fuel in his tank, that’s what we want to do, and that’s what we need to do to make sure [President Joe] Biden is not reelected.”
The report said that DeSantis’ full backing of the Trump campaign is a major asset for Trump because “DeSantis’ finance committee is full of fundraisers with massive networks” that can donate money.

The first target in any protracted military campaign is pretty much always infrastructure.
When the U.S. invaded Iraq with a &#8220;shock and awe&#8221; strategy, we hit the bridges right away. We did the same thing in Yugoslavia, Vietnam, and Korea. The reason for that is pretty simple: If you shut down transportation, you shut down the country.
The purpose of taking out bridges and airports isn&#8217;t to convince anyone that you&#8217;re right. It&#8217;s not a moral argument. The point is to disable your enemy as quickly as possible and to make them vulnerable to further attack.
After what happened yesterday, it&#8217;s clear that the domestic enemies of the United States — the ones we&#8217;ve imported and those our universities have indoctrinated — understand the importance of infrastructure very well. In a series of coordinated attacks, Hamas sympathizers stormed bridges and airports all over the country. I&#8217;m going to go through several of these attacks, and I&#8217;ll start with by far the most significant and longest-lasting interruption. It took place on both the Golden Gate Bridge and Interstate 880 in Oakland. Watch:
<iframe loading="lazy" title="001 Golden Gate" width="500" height="281" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/YqvKXG_jTVM?feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" allowfullscreen></iframe>
So just a month ago, activists shut down the Bay Bridge. As you just heard, they delayed several organ donations. The San Francisco Chronicle <a href="https://www.sfchronicle.com/bayarea/article/motorist-stuck-bay-bridge-protest-describes-19085430.php">reported</a> that at least one person had a medical emergency while he was stuck in traffic. But nothing happened to any of the people responsible for that, they received something like five hours of community service. So yesterday, it happened again, this time on the Golden Gate Bridge and on the interstate.
News reports like this always say &#8220;protesters&#8221; are shutting down traffic. That&#8217;s accurate, but it only tells part of the story. The other part is that the political leaders in these cities are also choosing to shut down traffic by allowing the protesters to do it. It would be exceedingly easy to not only clear these blockades but also dissuade anyone from ever pulling a stunt like this again. All you would have to do is pull them off the road by force and then hit them with every criminal charge even vaguely applicable, including terrorism charges. Throw the whole book at just one of these people, one time, and it will never happen again. Give one of them prison time — real prison time, 15 years of prison time — and the problem is solved. 
Forever. Just like that. 
Instead, the authorities in California are doing the opposite. The last time this took place, they gave these criminals a few hours of community service.. This time they let them shut down one of the longest bridges in the country for five hours before making a single arrest. All told, 38 people were ultimately <a href="https://abc7news.com/pro-palestinian-protesters-shut-down-golden-gate-bridge-and-i-880-in-oakland/14668534/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">arrested</a> between the Golden Gate Bridge and the Oakland interstate. They were hit with a variety of charges from false imprisonment to unlawful assembly.
<h4><a href="https://www.dailywire.com/episode/ep-1348-activists-who-shut-down-highways-aren-t-protesters-they-re-terrorists-member-exclusive" target="_blank" rel="noopener">WATCH: The Matt Walsh Show</a></h4>
None of those charges, it&#8217;s important to point out, carry a potential sentence of over a decade in prison. That kind of penalty is reserved for pro-life demonstrators who pray outside of abortion clinics and allegedly block access to the facility. If you do that, you get the predawn SWAT team raid from the DOJ and a very good chance you spend the next 10 years in prison. But if you sit on the highway for five hours and prevent thousands of people from getting where they need to go, then that&#8217;s not as big a deal. In fact, false imprisonment is the most serious charge that any of these demonstrators face, and the max you can get for that in California is something like four years. 
Of course, it&#8217;s virtually certain they&#8217;re not going to serve that time or even go to trial for any of this. They&#8217;ll all get community service and do the same thing again a month from now.
And that&#8217;s odd, even by the Biden administration&#8217;s own logic — because for all we know, there might have been people on these roads who were headed to get abortions. And they were delayed or even blocked from doing so. Will the DOJ look into the number of Californians who had to reschedule their abortions yesterday because their bridge was illegally shut down? Think of how many children might still be alive because of those protesters. Think about how many opportunities to murder babies were squandered. That&#8217;s the kind of thing that normally keeps Merrick Garland up at night.
If pro-lifers deserve a decade in prison for mildly inconveniencing people who are trying to access one abortion clinic in Nashville, these people deserve a century. But of course, they&#8217;re on the Left, so they can literally do whatever they want, all the time. Logic doesn&#8217;t really apply. There will be no DOJ probe into the organizers of this protest. There will be no RICO case against them.
But increasingly, it&#8217;s clear that there should be. <a href="https://www.kron4.com/news/bay-area/heres-why-the-golden-gate-bridge-i-880-shut-down/#:~:text=Protester%20organizer%20Ellen%20Caminiti%20sent,in%20Palestine%2C" target="_blank" rel="noopener">According </a>to San Francisco&#8217;s local news station KRON, a woman named Ellen Caminiti was one of the &#8220;organizers&#8221; of the Golden Gate protest yesterday. She was apparently off-site, serving as a representative. I looked her up, and it turns out she&#8217;s the <a href="https://www.nclrights.org/about-us/who-we-are/ellen-caminiti/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">communications director</a> at a nonprofit called the National Center for Lesbian Rights, or NCLR. So this is an organization that gets tax breaks to advance &#8220;lesbian rights,&#8221; and at 9:00 a.m. on a Monday, their communications director was organizing a criminal blockade of one of the most important bridges in the country. One of my producers reached out to Ellen Caminiti about this. She said, quote, &#8220;NCLR had no role in it, that is just my day-job, which is completely separate from this.&#8221; 
What&#8217;s confusing about that, again, is that this blockade took place first thing Monday morning. That counts as &#8220;during the day.&#8221; So it sounds like Ellen Caminiti&#8217;s &#8220;day job&#8221; is shutting down infrastructure in San Francisco in the name of &#8220;Palestinian solidarity.&#8221; We followed up with NCLR to ask them about this. We wanted to know if they had any reaction whatsoever to their employee assisting in a criminal blockade during the workday. They didn&#8217;t respond to that question. All they said is that they had nothing to do with the blockade.
You&#8217;d think that, if NCLR disagreed with what their employee did during work hours, they&#8217;d fire her immediately. At the very least they&#8217;d condemn what she did. Especially given that she did it on behalf of Hamas, a group that would happily toss everyone in the organization off of a rooftop. But no such luck. 
That&#8217;s because NCLR, like many so-called Left-wing &#8220;public interest nonprofits,&#8221; isn&#8217;t really working in the public interest at all. It&#8217;s a tax shelter that employs unhinged activists who want to destroy this country. They should lose their tax-exempt nonprofit status immediately. Nonprofits aren&#8217;t supposed to have anything remotely to do with criminal activity, and it definitely sounds like, at a minimum, they&#8217;re tacitly endorsing exactly that. But, of course, there will be no DOJ investigation, at least not under the Biden administration, because the Biden administration wants these kinds of blockades to occur. That&#8217;s why they took place all day yesterday, all over the country.
In Seattle, demonstrators blocked access to the airport, forcing travelers to walk to the terminal. 
In New York, thugs stormed the Brooklyn Bridge. 
In Chicago, they blocked the highway leading to O&#8217;Hare airport. 
In Dearborn Michigan, a caravan of Hamas sympathizers backed up traffic. 
In Fremont California, they attacked a Tesla production facility, apparently because of Elon Musk&#8217;s tweets, forcing the plant to declare an emergency and close. 
<iframe loading="lazy" title="002 Clips Montage" width="500" height="281" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/dMd8fxK7Kl8?feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" allowfullscreen></iframe>
In all of these cases, except for the situation in Fremont, there wasn&#8217;t much of a police response, at least not initially. In Seattle, officers eventually arrested the people blockading the roadway. Julio Rosas reports that on the Brooklyn Bridge, the NYPD made an effort to stop the demonstrators, and succeeded in stopping about half of them. But traffic was still disrupted. 
As far as I can tell, the only decisive reaction to these riots took place in Miami, where police hauled away the demonstrators the moment they broke the law. Watch:

Well, look at that. The police just drag them away. It&#8217;s not hard. It takes a few minutes, and the whole city is no longer held hostage by a handful of terrorists. Just throw them in jail and make an example of them. 
Governor Ron DeSantis&#8217; communications director uploaded the footage you just saw, along with this <a href="https://x.com/BryanDGriffin/status/1779972576422322354">message:</a> &#8220;In Florida, we drag these people out of the road and arrest them.&#8221;
That&#8217;s obviously the right response, as rare as it may be. And when police don&#8217;t do this, immediately, then citizens have every right to do it themselves. Senator Tom Cotton put it <a href="https://x.com/TomCottonAR/status/1780039918737121502">this way</a>, &#8220;I encourage people who get stuck behind the pro-Hamas mobs blocking traffic: take matters into your own hands to get them out of the way. It&#8217;s time to put an end to this nonsense.&#8221;
Of course, the problem with what Tom Cotton said is that, if someone does take matters into their own hands, there&#8217;s a very good chance they&#8217;ll spend the rest of their life in prison. The Biden DOJ will destroy them. They will do nothing to protect innocent people from these terrorists. But the moment someone tries to take action — even if it&#8217;s justified — then the feds will hunt them down. It&#8217;s almost like that&#8217;s what the Biden administration wants to happen at this point.
It appears to be what the NYPD wants. Yesterday, police officers didn&#8217;t have much of a reaction when a Hamas sympathizer lit an American flag on fire and shouted &#8220;Death to America,&#8221; right in front of about five cops. He just walked away. Watch:
<iframe loading="lazy" title="005 NY Fire" width="500" height="281" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/CmUTer8OELI?feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" allowfullscreen></iframe>
Now, if you call yourself &#8220;America first&#8221; — and a lot of people do now — it goes without saying that you should be stridently opposed to people who shout &#8220;death to America,&#8221; burn American flags, and go out of their way to cause problems for American citizens. If your &#8220;America first&#8221; principles somehow find common cause with people who wish death on America and its people, that&#8217;s a good indication that you are, at best, very confused. But that confusion needs to end at this point. This is well past the realm of online trolling. There are now coordinated attacks occurring all over the country targeting its infrastructure.
You hear a lot of people say, &#8220;Why would these people do this? They&#8217;re not going to convince anyone to support their cause by blocking traffic or shutting down the airport!&#8221; Well, yeah. That&#8217;s because the objective of Hamas sympathizers living in this country isn&#8217;t to convince you of anything. 
Disrupting infrastructure — as always — is just the first phase in a much larger campaign they have planned. And unless more states follow Florida&#8217;s lead and shut this down immediately, then very soon, we&#8217;ll find out what the next phase is.

An attorney for rapper <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/rap-music" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Sean &#8220;Diddy&#8221; Combs</a> responded to the federal government&#8217;s raid on two of his client&#8217;s homes this week by claiming that the government used too much &#8220;force.&#8221;
Agents with the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) descended upon Combs&#8217; homes in Los Angeles and Miami on Monday as part of a federal criminal investigation into allegations related to sex trafficking, sexual assault, and the solicitation and distribution of illegal narcotics and firearms, NBC News reported.
&#8220;Yesterday, there was a gross overuse of military-level force as search warrants were executed at Mr. Combs&#8217; residences,&#8221; said attorney Aaron Dyer. &#8220;There is no excuse for the excessive show of force and hostility exhibited by authorities or the way his children and employees were treated. Mr. Combs was never detained but spoke to and cooperated with authorities. Despite media speculation, neither Mr. Combs nor any of his family members have been arrested nor has their ability to travel been restricted in any way.&#8221;
Dyer called the raid an &#8220;unprecedented ambush&#8221; — even though federal law enforcement routinely conducts raids with a show of force — and lambasted what he claimed was &#8220;an advanced, coordinated media presence&#8221; that he says has led the public to make premature judgements about his client.
He said that the raid was a &#8220;witch hunt based on meritless accusations made in civil lawsuits.&#8221;
&#8220;There has been no finding of criminal or civil liability with any of these allegations,&#8221; he said. &#8220;Mr. Combs is innocent and will continue to fight every single day to clear his name.&#8221;

DHS released a statement late on Monday following the raids confirming the law enforcement action without disclosing any further details.
“Earlier today, Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) New York executed law enforcement actions as part of an ongoing investigation, with assistance from HSI Los Angeles, HSI Miami, and our local law enforcement partners,” the statement said. “We will provide further information as it becomes available.”
