The Rich Zeoli Show- Hour 3: 5:00pm- On Friday, Newark Mayor Ras Baraka alongside Congressmembers Bonnie Watson-Coleman, LaMonica McIver, and Rob Menendez visited the Delaney Hall Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) detention facility in New Jersey—at one point trespassing which led to a confrontation with ICE officials and the eventual arrest of Mayor Baraka. ICE has released bodycam footage of the altercation which shows Rep. McIver attempting to physically shove past ICE agents. Meanwhile, House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries and Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio Cortez threatened Republicans with retaliation if Democrat lawmakers are charged with crimes for their involvement in the Delaney Hall incident. 5:20pm- During Wednesday's House Homeland Security Committee hearing, Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem and Rep. Dan Goldman (D-NY) got into a heated exchange over the deportation of illegal migrant—and accused MS-13 gang member—Kilmar Abrego Garcia. 5:30pm- While promoting his new book, “Original Sin: President Biden's Decline, Its Cover-up, and His Disastrous Choice to Run Again,” CNN's Jake Tapper revealed that a White House physician informed then-President Joe Biden's aides that he might require the assistance of a wheelchair in his second term if he were to continue falling. While Tapper is reporting on these stories now, why wasn't he doing so prior to Biden's withdrawal from the 2024 presidential election? According to the book, Biden forgot the names of Jake Sullivan (his National Security Advisor), Jamie Harrison (Chairman of the DNC), and Hollywood star George Clooney (whom he has known for years).

The Rich Zeoli Show- Hour 4: 6:05pm- While testifying before the Senate's Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions Committee, Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. was interrupted by protesters. Five protesters were ultimately removed from the hearing—including Ben & Jerry's ice cream co-founder Ben Cohen! 6:20pm- Dan McLaughlin—Senior Writer at National Review & a Fellow at National Review Institute—joins The Rich Zeoli Show to discuss his latest article, “Put Pete Rose in the Hall of Fame—But Not Shoeless Joe.” You can read the full article here: https://www.nationalreview.com/corner/put-pete-rose-in-the-hall-of-fame-but-not-shoeless-joe/. 6:40pm- During Wednesday's House Homeland Security Committee hearing, Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem and Rep. Dan Goldman (D-NY) got into a heated exchange over the deportation of illegal migrant—and accused MS-13 gang member—Kilmar Abrego Garcia.

The Rich Zeoli Show- Full Episode (05/14/2025): 3:05pm- Newsom Flip-Flop: California Governor Gavin Newsom (D) is now calling for fiscal responsibility—and is advocating to curtail healthcare benefits offered to undocumented migrants residing in the Golden State. His proposal will freeze enrollment and will charge those who currently are enrolled a monthly fee. For years, Newsom has advocated for free universal healthcare for all. So, what changed? Rich notes that Newsom is preparing for a 2028 presidential run and is trying to distance himself from failed, unpopular policies—but don't believe his sudden shift towards political moderation is genuine. 3:30pm- Michael Whatley—Chairman of the Republican National Committee—joins The Rich Zeoli Show to discuss the “one big, beautiful bill” being negotiated in the House and Senate which would make Trump's 2017 tax cuts permanent. Chairman Whatley also weighs in on the New Jersey gubernatorial election, explaining: “this is a very winnable race.” 3:50pm- During his visit to Qatar on Wednesday, President Donald Trump announced that Qatar Airways will be purchasing 210 airplanes from the U.S. manufacturer Boeing. The deal is reportedly worth $200 billion. 3:55pm- While promoting his new book, “Original Sin: President Biden's Decline, Its Cover-up, and His Disastrous Choice to Run Again,” CNN's Jake Tapper revealed that a White House physician informed then-President Joe Biden's aides that he might require the assistance of a wheelchair in his second term if he were to continue falling. While Tapper is reporting on these stories now, why wasn't he doing so prior to Biden's withdrawal from the 2024 presidential election? 4:05pm- While speaking from Riyadh, President Donald Trump announced that Saudi Arabia will be investing $600 billion in the United States economy—focusing on technology development and including a $142 billion defense sales agreement. During one address, Trump stated of previous administration policies regarding the Middle East: "In the end, the so-called nation-builders wrecked far more nations than they built. And the interventionists were intervening in complex societies that they didn't understand themselves." 4:15pm- During an interview with Sean Hannity on Fox News, President Donald Trump implored Iran to abandon their quest to develop nuclear weapons—noting that during his first administration, strict sanctions on Iran prevented them from funding terror efforts throughout the Middle East. 4:20pm- Should President Trump accept a $400 million plane from Qatar? According to reports, it would replace the current Air Force One—which is nearly 40 years old—and would eventually be gifted to the Trump Presidential Library after Trump leaves office in 2029. Appearing on Fox News, Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) said accepting the gift would be a violation of the Emoluments Clause of the Constitution and is not worth even “the appearance of impropriety.” 4:40pm- Should Rich let Mama Zeoli produce one segment of the show every Friday—where she'll get to select topics? Plus, is Phil Murphy the worst governor in modern New Jersey history. And Rich keeps missing his break times…turns out his clock is broken. 5:00pm- On Friday, Newark Mayor Ras Baraka alongside Congressmembers Bonnie Watson-Coleman, LaMonica McIver, and Rob Menendez visited the Delaney Hall Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) detention facility in New Jersey—at one point trespassing which led to a confrontation with ICE officials and the eventual arrest of Mayor Baraka.

It's Monday, April 21st, A.D. 2025. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 125 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Adam McManus New law criminalizes praying with someone about gender, sexuality identity On April 4, the Australian state of New South Wales began enforcing a new law criminalizing anti-conversion therapy, which now includes praying with someone about their gender or sexual identity and even encouraging abstinence for homosexual Christians, reports International Christian Concern. On the website “Anti-Discrimination New South Wales,” a government body that administers and investigates anti-discrimination, they note that “praying with or over a person with the intent to change or suppress their sexuality or gender identify is unlawful … even if that person has asked you to pray for them to be able to change or suppress their sexuality or gender identity.”  The law – known as the New South Wales's Conversion Practices Ban Act 2024 -- is part of a trend of laws that seek to outlaw so-called “conversion therapy,” the clinical practice of helping someone embrace their God-given sexuality and gender. What makes the law different is how broadly “conversion therapy” is defined beyond a traditional clinical setting.   In an interview with The Washington Stand, Arielle Del Turco, director of the Center for Religious Liberty at the Family Research Council, said, “This is a terrible new law in this Australian state, and they aren't even trying to hide it. According to the state government's own admission from their website, this law will prevent a pastor or any believer from praying with someone who is asking for prayer for freedom from gender identity issues.”  Genesis 1:27 says, "So God created man in His own image, in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them." Italy's top court scraps ‘mother' and ‘father' on ID cards Italy's Supreme Court of Cassation has restored the use of “Parent 1” and “Parent 2” on Italian ID cards because it deemed that calling parents ‘father' and ‘mother' is discriminatory against homosexual couples, reports the European Conservative. To her credit, conservative Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni had announced the return of the terms “father” and “mother” on identity documents back in 2023. Supreme Court blocks deportation of illegal Venezuelans On Saturday, the Supreme Court temporarily blocked the Trump administration from deporting an unspecified number of illegal Venezuelan men, currently in immigration custody, who are alleged to be members of a criminal gang, reports The Epoch Times. The order was issued after the American Civil Liberties Union filed an emergency request on behalf of its Venezuelan clients late on April 18 asking the Supreme Court to immediately block the Trump administration from deporting the clients. On March 14th, President Donald Trump signed Proclamation 10903, in which he officially declared that Tren de Aragua, a designated foreign terrorist organization, “is perpetrating, attempting, and threatening an invasion or predatory incursion against the territory of the United States.” The president invoked the Alien Enemies Act to authorize the “immediate apprehension, detention, and removal” of members of the group who are Venezuelan citizens 14 years of age or older and who are not U.S. citizens or lawful permanent residents of the United States. Democrats want to visit El Salvador's prison housing deported illegals Democrats in both chambers of Congress are working to organize delegations to El Salvador to see the prison where President Trump is sending these violent illegal immigrants. Initially, El Salvadoran President Nayib Bukele built the prison in 2022 as part of a response to surging gang violence in El Salvador, according to National Public Radio. Each cell can fit 65 to 70 prisoners, and the prison has a capacity of 40,000 inmates.  Trump asked Bukele to build five identically-sized prisons to receive more violent illegal immigrants from America. The deported Venezuelan illegals are living in the same conditions as convicted gangsters. Democrat Representatives Delia Ramirez (D-Ill.), Robert Garcia (D-Calif.) and Maxwell Frost (D-Fla.) as well as Democrat Senator Cory Booker (D-N.J.) are the politicians who want to fly to El Salvador. However, House Homeland Security Committee chair Mark Green, a Republican from Tennessee, said he wouldn't grant their request, reports Axios. CNN conservative commentator Scott Jennings explained that this kind of move by the Democrats is why they only have a 21% approval rating by the American public. JENNINGS: “First of all, I'm more than happy to hear the Congressman say they're all going to El Salvador. I think for Republicans, this just confirms what we have believed about the Democratic Party and why it currently has a 21% approval rating in Congress. “Look where the energy in the Democratic Party is. It's around retrieving illegal aliens from El Salvador. It's around fighting for these college campuses that have been rife with anti semitism. It's around biological males who want to play in girls' sports. “This is why they are losing to Donald Trump every day, because the energy that Democrats feel comes on all these issues that are fundamentally not where the American people are.” Rahm Emmanuel wants to run for President In the world of politics, Democrat Rahm Emanuel has done a lot. Not only did he serve as President Bill Clinton's Senior Advisor for policy and strategy and as U.S. Congressman from Illinois for three terms, but Emmauel was President Barack Obama's White House Chief of Staff, served as mayor of Chicago, and most recently was the United States ambassador to Japan. Now, Rahm Emmanuel wants to be president. In a recent speech, he said, “I am done with the discussion of locker rooms. I am done with the discussion of bathrooms. We better start having a conversation about the classroom,” drawing applause as he alluded to a new study showing more than two-thirds of eighth graders can't read at grade level. Texas House greenlights $210 million to support pregnant women To hear it from abortion activists, pro-life Americans don't care about women and children – especially after banning abortions. But in the state of Texas that notion is totally false, reports LifeNews. On April 11th, Texas lawmakers gave preliminary approval to $210 million in support for pregnant moms. Texas Right to Life explained, “The Texas House voted to fully fund life-saving nonprofits at $210 million in the Thriving Texas Families program. These providers help mothers choose Life by offering baby materials (like diapers and formula), counseling, and job skills training. This victory isn't about dollars. It's about the children and families rescued from abortion.” Jeremiah 1:5 says, “Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, before you were born I set you apart.” Close And that's The Worldview on this Monday, April 21st, in the year of our Lord 2025. Subscribe for free by Amazon Music or by iTunes or email to our unique Christian newscast at www.TheWorldview.com.

U.S. House leaders are calling on CrowdStrike CEO George Kurtz to testify to Congress about the cybersecurity company's role in sparking the widespread tech outage that grounded flights, knocked banks and hospital systems offline and affected services around the world. CrowdStrike said that a “significant number” of the millions of computers that crashed on July 19, causing global disruptions, are back in operation as its customers and regulators await a more detailed explanation of what went wrong. Republicans who lead the House Homeland Security Committee said they want those answers soon. “While we appreciate CrowdStrike's response and coordination with stakeholders, we cannot ignore the magnitude of this incident, which some have claimed is the largest IT outage in history,” said a letter to Kurtz from Rep. Mark E. Green of Tennessee and Rep. Andrew Garbarino of New York. They added that Americans "deserve to know in detail how this incident happened and the mitigation steps CrowdStrike is taking." A defective software update sent by CrowdStrike to its customers disrupted airlines, banks, hospitals and other critical services on July 19, affecting about 8.5 million machines running Microsoft's Windows operating system. The painstaking work of fixing it has often required a company's IT crew to manually delete files on affected machines. CrowdStrike said in a blog post that it was starting to implement a new technique to accelerate remediation of the problem. It also said in a brief statement that it is actively in contact with congressional committees. Shares of the Texas-based cybersecurity company have dropped more than 20% since the meltdown, knocking off billions of dollars in market value. The scope of the disruptions has also caught the attention of government regulators, including antitrust enforcers, though it remains to be seen if they take action against the company. “All too often these days, a single glitch results in a system-wide outage, affecting industries from healthcare and airlines to banks and auto-dealers,” said Lina Khan, chair of the U.S. Federal Trade Commission, in a post on the social media platform X. “Millions of people and businesses pay the price. These incidents reveal how concentration can create fragile systems.” This article was provided by The Associated Press.

Two Venezuelan nationals, accused of a gruesome crime in Houston involving a 12-year-old girl, were previously set free by federal immigration authorities. The suspects, 26-year-old Franklin Joe Pena Ramos and 22-year-old Johan Jose Martinez Rangel, were not held in detention despite ample bed space being available. This is a revelation that has not only shocked the community but also raises questions about the immigration policies of the current administration. The Houston Police Department made the arrests last week, charging the duo with the chilling murder of a young girl named Jocelyn Nungaray. The child's life was brutally taken away, her body discovered in a local creek by a passerby, highlighting the disturbing dimensions of the crime. The suspects were confirmed by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) to have crossed the U.S.-Mexico border illegally and were released into the community on the very day of their unlawful entry. Now, evidence cracks wide open the burning question: could they have been held in detention? The facts point to an answer in the affirmative. The House Homeland Security Committee has released data suggesting ample detention bed space available at the time of the suspects' crossing, thus indicating their retention was feasible.  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Host Dave Sobel discusses key trends and developments in the IT market. The episode highlights the cooling inflation in the U.S., with the Consumer Price Index remaining unchanged for the second consecutive month. Despite concerns such as rental prices and geopolitical factors, the IT market is projected to grow, driven by artificial intelligence and other catalysts. CEOs are recognizing the need for business model changes to stay competitive, with a focus on AI adoption and reinvention initiatives.Small and mid-sized businesses are increasingly relying on resellers and service providers to support their artificial intelligence projects, facing challenges such as infrastructure limitations and security risks. The podcast also delves into the evolving landscape of the channel industry, with trends like cybersecurity, millennial buyer behavior, and the rise of marketplaces shaping the future. The importance of understanding these trends and adapting services to include enhanced security measures is emphasized for IT service providers.The episode further explores the impact of private equity firms buying out poorly performing IPOs, offering opportunities for shareholders and CEOs. Small businesses are shown to be increasingly concerned about payment fraud and cybersecurity threats, necessitating the dedication of resources to prevent unauthorized transactions and attacks. Additionally, the real estate market presents opportunities for new businesses to secure commercial spaces at discounted prices, potentially requiring IT infrastructure setup and cybersecurity measures for tenants moving into vacant spaces.Microsoft's handling of reported security flaws and the subsequent criticism regarding the SolarWinds attack are discussed in detail. The company faced questioning from the House Homeland Security Committee, leading to a shift in prioritizing security over artificial intelligence. Microsoft's decision to tie executive bonuses to security performance aims to drive significant culture changes toward security and ensure buy-in from business leaders. The importance of transparency, proactive security measures, and timely communication in maintaining trust with clients is highlighted for IT providers. Three things to know today 00:00 IT Market on the Rise: Cooling Inflation and AI Drive Positive Projections for 202404:15 Rising Payment Fraud Concerns Among Small Businesses: KeyBank's 2024 Survey Findings06:27 ProPublica Report: Microsoft Ignored Warnings About Critical Vulnerability Exploited in SolarWinds Attack   Supported by:  https://www.coreview.com/msphttp://skykick.com/mspradio/  All our Sponsors:   https://businessof.tech/sponsors/  Looking for a link from the stories?

The Center for Immigration Studies hosted a panel to discuss the history and impact of the impeachment of Secretary of Homeland Security Alejandro Mayorkas. Should he have been impeached?

One year ago today, pro-life activist and attorney Rebecca Kiessling was shocked when President Joe Biden heartlessly laughed in the public forum at the fentanyl deaths of her two sons. Reeling from their tragic deaths, Kiessling testified before Congress on the dangers of Fentanyl coming across the border illegally during a February 28, 2023 House Homeland Security Committee, drawing the ire of President Biden, who has resisted enforcing immigration law while championing open borders. The rights to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness are under constant threat by the Biden Administration, and there must be justice for Kiessling's children and the thousands of others who have been victimized by the culture of death.HELP US FIGHT THE LIES OF THE MAINSTREAM MEDIA AND SPREAD THE TRUTH AROUND THE WORLD: https://give.lifesitenews.com SHOP YOUR FAVORITE PRECIOUS METALS WITH LIFESITENEWS: https://stjosephpartners.com/lifesitenewsSHOP ALL YOUR FUN AND FAVORITE LIFESITE MERCH! https://shop.lifesitenews.com/ Connect with us on social media:LifeSite: https://linktr.ee/lifesitenewsJohn-Henry Westen: https://linktr.ee/jhwesten Hosted on Acast.

The House on Tuesday voted to impeach Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, but the Democrat-controlled Senate is not expected to vote to remove him from office. “There isn't a whole lot of power we have,” Rep. Mark Green, R-Tenn., chairman of the House Homeland Security Committee, said of House members' ability to push the Senate to hold a trial to consider ousting the homeland security chief. With the two articles of impeachment now in the hands of the Senate, Green explained, Senate Majority Leader “Chuck Schumer and his guys can … either not hear it at all, they can have us come over and be referred to a committee and it's heard then in a committee and dies in a committee, or they can have us present to the entire Senate.” Green and his colleagues who backed the impeachment are “going to get loud,” the Tennessee lawmaker said. “We're going to get really loud. They're going to pay for it if they don't do something,” Green said of the Senate, “because the American people are with us on this.” Green joins “The Daily Signal Podcast” to discuss what the House Homeland Security Committee uncovered during its nearly yearlong investigation into Mayorkas that culminated in the secretary's impeachment.

Instead of just ignoring it if that happens, the former president's team seems committed to the worst possible strategy.Then it's on to the good martini as the House Homeland Security Committee approves two articles of impeachment against Homeland Security Sec. Alejandro Mayorkas, who has incessantly lied to the American people about the border being secure and under control - and has done nothing to stem the tide of people entering the U.S. ilegally.Next, they get a kick out of an Iran-backed militia group, that was likely behind the deadly attack on U.S. forces in Jordan, saying it won't attack any more so there's no need for a U.S. military response. Sorry terrorists, it doesn't work that way!Finally, they recoil at prominent Silicon Valley figure Bryan Johnson not only trying to stay alive for hundreds of years, but now saying he wants us to "divorce from all human norms, all human customs, and all human thought" and turn us into "blank slates."Please visit our great sponsors:4Patriothttps://4Patriots.com/martiniCatch the deal of the day before it is gone!

Mayorkas made the remarks when meeting privately with agents in Eagle Pass, Texas, according to three Border Patrol sources who were in the room and heard the remarks themselves. The conversation happened during the muster for agents in the busy border area. Fox is told Mayorkas was asked directly about comments he made on "Special Report" last week when he was asked by anchor Bret Baier about reporting that over 70% of migrants are released into the U.S. each day. "It would not surprise me at all. I know the data," Mayorkas said. "And I will tell you that when individuals are released, they are released into immigration enforcement proceedings. They are on alternatives to detention. And we have returned or removed a record number of individuals. We are enforcing the laws that Congress has passed. " Fox is told that on Monday agents pushed him on those remarks, saying that the number is even higher than 70%, and then Mayorkas acknowledged a release rate of "above 85%." Mayorkas had also said last week on "Special Report" that "well more than a million" migrants are released into the U.S. annually, and argued repeatedly that it is up to Congress to provide more funding and immigration reform to fix what he has called a "broken" system. He said that the agency is limited in detention capacity by funding provided by Congress. "When somebody enters the country, we place them in immigration enforcement proceedings pursuant to immigration law, and if their claim for relief, their claim to remain in the United States succeeds, then by law they are able to stay here," he said. The remarks come just two days before the House Homeland Security Committee holds its first impeachment hearing, featuring multiple state attorneys general who will testify about the impact the crisis has had on their states. The hearing on Wednesday marks the first impeachment hearing after a year of investigations and reports by the House Homeland Security Committee which looked at the handling of the nearly three-year migrant crisis. Republicans have blamed the historic migrant crisis, which saw 302,000 migrant encounters last month alone on Biden-era policies, including the releases of migrants into the interior -- dubbed "catch-and-release." They have pointed to the broad use of parole, as well as narrowed ICE enforcement and the stopping of wall construction. The administration says it is dealing with a hemisphere-wide crisis and needs more funding and comprehensive immigration reform from Congress. It has claimed it is expanding "lawful migration pathways" and increasing consequences for illegal entry, but can only do so much with a "broken" system. Mayorkas and other DHS officials have said that it has removed or returned more than 470,000 people since May, which is more than in the entirety of FY 2019. At a press availability later on Monday, Mayorkas highlighted the removals and returns, saying it is more than in any other five-month period in the last 10 years. "In fact, the majority of all Southwest Border migrant encounters throughout this Administration have been removed, returned, or expelled – the majority of them," he said. "We are doing everything we can, within a broken system, to incentivize noncitizens to use lawful pathways, to impose consequences on those who do not, and to reduce irregular migration." The White House has also requested $14 billion in border funding from Congress as part of its emergency supplemental spending proposal, but that is being held up as Republicans demand significantly more restrictions on the release of migrants into the interior. Mayorkas said last week that it was that broken system, not administration policy, which was the magnet drawing migrants to the border. Separately, the administration last week announced a lawsuit against the state of Texas after Gov. Greg Abbott signed a law that allows state and local law enforcement to arrest illegal immigrants. The lawsuit claims that the law is unconstitutional and interferes with the federal government's authority on immigration matters. https://thenationalpulse.com/2024/01/09/listen-hot-mic-catches-journos-joking-about-trump-being-assassinated-like-jfk-take-a-convertible/ Hot Mic Catches Journos Joking About Trump Being Assassinated Microphones caught journalists waiting for Donald Trump to arrive at the E. Barrett Prettyman Courthouse in Washington D.C. joking about the president being assassinated on Tuesday. Trump is attending the D.C. Court of Appeals to hear the opening oral arguments in his appeal against Jack Smith’s efforts to prosecute him over January 6th, and journalists gathered outside the courthouse in substantial numbers ahead of his arrival. Two of them could be heard in live feeds joking about having a “good shot” at the America First leader when he arrived, particularly if he showed up driving a convertible like the one the late President John F. Kennedy was riding in when he was shot in the head in 1963: https://twitter.com/i/status/1744738203616399859 - Play Video If you couldn’t hear what they said: First Journalist: You know what the worst part is? Even if he has his window open and he’s hanging out of it, he will be on the other side of the street. Second Journalist: I mean, if he’s driving, we’ve got a good shot! First Journalist: Yeah, if he’s driving with the front window open? Second Journalist: Yeah, or if it’s a convertible? First Journalist: Yeah. I wasn’t thinking about that. First Journalist: Like JFK? Second Journalist: (laughs) Trump’s hearing is being overseen by a panel of two Joe Biden-appointed judges and one George H. W. Bush-appointed judge. His lawyers argue the Smith prosecution amounts to double jeopardy, as Trump was already tried and acquitted over January 6th by the U.S. Senate, and that Smith is also violating the principle of presidential immunity for official acts. https://www.dailyfetched.com/man-finds-iphone-that-fell-out-alaska-air-1282-perfectly-intact/ Man Discovers iPhone That Fell Out of Alaska Air 1282: ‘Perfectly Intact’ A Portland man recovered a cell phone, which is believed to be owned by a passenger of Alaska Airlines flight 1282 after it was sucked out of the plane when the door plug blew open. Writing on X, the man, Sean Bates, posted a photo of the phone: “Found an iPhone on the side of the road,” he wrote. “Still in airplane mode with half a battery and open to a baggage claim for #AlaskaAirlines ASA1282.” Bates found the phone when he was out walking before posting it on social media, which also showed what appeared to be an Alaska Airlines baggage flight receipt. The image showed the baggage receipt for the traveler and a piece of a charger still stuck into the phone’s charging port. Bates claimed the phone was “perfectly” intact with “no scratches on it.” In a TikTok video, Bates said he was walking in Portland on Sunday after the National Transportation Safety Bureau asked him to report any debris or plane parts. The door for the plane was also recovered after another Portland resident named Bob found the plug in his yard, “Thank you, Bob,” NTSB Chair Jennifer Homendy said at a news conference. Bates found one of the two cell phones that were recovered. Last week, Alaska Airlines flight was forced to make an emergency landing after its passenger window blew open. The Boeing 737 Max was heading to Ontario, California w, when a large window busted open, causing severe depressurization. Alaska Airlines CEO Ben Minicucci said in a statement: “Following tonight’s event on Flight 1282, we have decided to take the precautionary step of temporarily grounding our fleet of 65 Boeing 737-9 aircraft.” “My heart goes out to those who were on this flight – I am so sorry for what you experienced.” Video footage showed the plane in the air with the window open as oxygen masks angled over passengers’ seats. https://www.dailyfetched.com/rebel-news-reporter-arrested-by-trudeaus-police-for-asking-a-question/ Rebel News Reporter Arrested by Trudeau’s Police for Asking a Question David Menzies, the reporter for Canada’s conservative Rebel News Network, was arrested on Monday for asking Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland a question. A police officer reportedly accused Menzies of assault despite the reporter not making any physical contact with Freeland. The video of the incident, posted by Rebel News chief Ezra Levant, showed Enzies asking Freeland about Canada’s refusal to label Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IGRC) as a terrorist organization. The video shows Menzies keeping pace with the Deputy Prime Minister as he walks down the street when a Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) stands in his way and begins claiming Menzies “assaulted” him. Menzies does not appear to notice the RCMP officer because his attention is on Freeland. The officer then appears to set a “pick,” basketball-style, as a pretext for accusing Menzies of assaulting him. However, there is no evidence that Menzies intended to do so. “You’re under arrest for assault,” said the officer. The officer moved Menzies towards a vehicle, identifying himself as police and saying he was under arrest for assault. Menzies said the officer was the person who blocked his way. “I was just scrumming Chrystia Freeland,” he said. The officer acknowledged Menzies was being arrested for assaulting a police officer. In response, he accused him of assaulting him three years ago. Another RCMP officer said Menzies was being arrested because of his actions. This is because he was almost pushing people over. “That was a little bit aggressive for what was happening,” said the officer before the arrest occurred. True North managing editor Andrew Lawton said Menzies was later released. “Have confirmed that Menzies was released without charges,” said Lawton.

Mayorkas is set to testify before the House Homeland Security Committee at a hearing on “Worldwide Threats to the Homeland.”The homeland security chief recently testified before the Senate Appropriations Committee on Nov. 8 and before the Senate Homeland Security and Government Affairs Committee on Oct. 31.“Secretary Mayorkas has been very good at evading answers throughout all of his testimonies,” says James Massa, the CEO of NumbersUSA, a group that advocates for lower rates of immigration, adding that he expects Mayorkas “to be evasive again.” “He has deferred to not wanting to answer specific numbers, not wanting to answer countries of origin, not wanting to answer how any terrorist who's already been apprehended—and there's almost 170 of them that were on the FBI terrorist watchlist—how they handle them and what they do with them,” Massa says of Mayorkas.
