Fox News guest and former Trump administration official Camryn Kinsey will be back on the air at Fox News this week after she fainted during a live segment with Jonathan Hunt.
Kinsey,24, was answering a question from Hunt when she began to stumble over her words, then fell to the floor unconscious.
She later said severe dehydration caused the fainting spell.
“It was very scary,” Kinsey, 24, told the New York Post. “I honestly felt worse for the audience and the Fox News crew that was helping me than I than I did myself.”
Kinsey said she had received well wishes from those on both sides of the political spectrum, which was heartening for her.
In these situations, people “put differences aside just to make sure somebody’s OK, and I’m truly grateful for that,” Kinsey said.
“You think about it, you’re like, ‘Do I wanna go back on TV?’" she said. "But knowing that I have so many people in my corner, who are genuinely concerned for my well-being and want to see me keep going … that’s anything that I could ever want.”
Kinsey was also thankful she wasn't seriously injured by the fall.
“I’m grateful my shoulder actually broke the fall, so there’s no concussion or bruising,” Kinsey said. “It was hard to hear my family so concerned, and I can only imagine what that looks like in real time — for my family and my friends and everyone watching.
“It was very shocking, but on the flip side of it I’m very blessed that the Lord was watching over me and I have such an incredible support system,” Kinsey said.
Kinsey also defended Hunt, who was criticized by some for continuing the segment after she fainted.
“Jonathan and I spoke afterwards,” she explained. “He was nothing but kind and gracious to me. I understand in a live TV environment, things move fast. No one is really ever quite sure of what’s happening in real time, but I want to make it clear I hold no hard feelings whatsoever.
“In the end, we’re all just human. Things happen and I’m just grateful to be OK.”
Hunt said, "We're just going to get some help here for Camryn," then cut away to another personality while medical personnel helped her.
Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth cancelled a planned trip to Israel this week to join President Donald Trump on his Middle East trip.
The decision to cancel the trip to Israel to join with Trump carries two significant implications. Firstly, it shows that Hegseth and Trump are on great terms despite Hegseth's difficult time at the Pentagon since being confirmed to the position by the Senate.
Hegseth has had to grapple with internal sabotage and massive leaks by leftist federal workers designed to damage his legitimacy and the legitimacy of the Trump administration.
Democrats have gloated about rumoured dissatisfaction with Hegseth from Trump, but those rumors appear to be exactly that.
By all accounts, Trump is happy with Hegseth's performance and appears to be well aware that Hegseth's path to success was never going to be smooth.
Hegseth was scheduled to meet with his Israeli counterpart, Israel Katz, and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, then proceed to Saudi Arabia the next day to meet with Trump.
However, Trump invited Hegseth to join him on Air Force One and travel straight to Saudi Arabia on Tuesday. The decision by Hegseth to completely skip a visit to Israel is raising questions about changing dynamics in the Trump administration's handling of the Middle East.
What is interesting is that a litany of top brass from the Trump administration will be going to Saudi Arabia with Trump and Hegseth.
This extensive list includes Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Secretary of Treasury Scott Bessent, Secretary of Energy Chris Wright, and Secretary of Commerce Howard Lutnick, who will all be heading for a seemingly massive meeting that suggests something big will happen on this trip.
As for Israel, Hegseth is going to visit at a later date and the White House has specifically rejected the idea that the visit was cancelled, but instead has simply been delayed.
It seems that the Trump administration has downgraded Israel's importance in the region and this could be the result of significant developments at the White House.
President Trump recently fired national security adviser Mike Waltz after it was discovered that he had secretly coordinated with Israel to push Trump to use military force against Iran. Further reports have suggested that Waltz was effectively a spy for Israel in the White House.
Furthermore, it was Waltz who added a journalist from The Atlantic to a Signal chat with Trump administration officials who were discussing the ongoing strikes against terrorists in Yemen.
Waltz was not only a bumbling liability, he was actively undermining Trump and working on behalf of Israel. While a lot of this information isn't set in stone, this could explain why Israel is suddenly being put on the back burner.
Trump is pursuing diplomatic avenues to sort out the conflicts in the Middle East and is working to end the war in Gaza as well as rein in Iran and stop it from obtaining nuclear weapons. It seems Israel will have to get its priorities straight if it wants to stay ahead of other Middle Eastern nations' courting Trump's diplomatic favor.
President Donald Trump ordered the termination of Library of Congress head Carla Hayden just one year before her ten-year term was ending.
Hayden has been serving in the nation’s oldest federal cultural institution since 2016, when she was nominated by former President Barack Obama and confirmed by the Senate.
The reason for Hayden's firing appears to be related to her pushing of “radical” leftist agendas, according to complaints from conservative organizations.
A tweet from the American Accountability Foundation claimed that "The current #LibrarianOfCongress Carla Hayden is woke, anti-Trump, and promotes trans-ing kids. It’s time to get her OUT and hire a new guy for the job!"
That tweet went out hours before Trump's decision to fire Hayden was announced on Thursday night, suggesting that the White House is working with conservative watchdogs to sniff out radical leftists at every level.
In further evidence that Hayden is an agent of the progressive agenda, her firing was greeted with outrage from Democrats who flew into a rage over Trump's decision to fire a seemingly unimportant federal official.
House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) was one of the first to come out to blast Trump's decision as "unjust" and an attempt to "whitewash" American history.
Jeffries railed against Trump by saying, “Donald Trump’s unjust decision to fire Dr. Hayden in an email sent by a random political hack is a disgrace and the latest in his ongoing effort to ban books, whitewash American history and turn back the clock. The Library of Congress is the People’s Library. There will be accountability for this unprecedented assault on the American way of life sooner rather than later."
Jeffries claims that Trump's firing of Hayden is an "unprecedented assault" on Americans' way of life, implying that progressive ideas like transitioning children are as American as apple pie.
Other Democrats quickly came to Hayden's defense, further lending credence to the idea that Hayden is a leftist ideologue using her position to push horrible progressive ideas.
Hayden has vigorously opposed parental rights groups' efforts to remove books about sexual identity containing explicit sexual content targeted at young people from libraries.
In defending pornographic books being distributed to children, Hayden wrote, "A children's book, and that's so helpful. I've had parents that I even work with, it just makes such a difference when you can share a book with a young person."
Leftists have pushed explicit sexual material and books containing progressive propaganda disguised as "sexual identity" education for years, and it's long past time for them to face serious consequences.
Hayden clearly endorses these ideas and, as such, has no place in the federal government. The fact that Democrats are so angry about her firing further demonstrates that she was doing real damage and had to be rooted out.
Term-limited Ohio Governor Mike DeWine (R) is reportedly moving to block the state GOP from endorsing Vivek Ramaswamy as the next Republican governor candidate, according to sources familiar with the state's politics.
President Donald Trump endorsed Ramaswamy the same night he announced he would run for governor, so the move places DeWine in direct opposition to the president, not to mention Vice President J.D. Vance, who is also from Ohio and has directed his staff to provide support for Ramaswamy's campaign.
It's the second time DeWine has opposed Trump's endorsed nominee: he also did so with Bernie Moreno, who was endorsed by Trump for Senate and who did win the race in 2024.
Some sources say DeWine wants his lieutenant governor, Ohio State football legend Jim Tressel, to succeed him.
“I think he would like to forestall an endorsement taking place, because I think he would like to see if he can convince Jim Tressel to run for governor,” an Ohio Republican leader said of DeWine.
According to his spokesman, the governor is focused on state budget negotiations.
DeWine has also said it's too early to endorse a candidate.
“As far as who I endorse in the Republican primary for Governor, it is much too early, as we do not even know who all will be in the race. We are now 364 days away from the primary and 293 days away from the filing deadline. In politics, this is a lifetime!” the governor noted in a statement.
Two-thirds of the state party’s 66-member central committee must vote to endorse a candidate.
Ramaswamy currently leads polling in the race, but it is still very early.
An ally of Ramaswamy told Breitbart that DeWine is going to be remembered for being wrong on every fight within the GOP.
“If Trump backs you, DeWine’s guaranteed to take the losing side. The establishment isn’t just out of touch — it’s out of time. And the state central committee will prove that again this Friday,” the ally remarked.
“There’s not a unified opposition to the endorsement,” a committee member said.
If Tressel were to run, a point of opposition against him is that he supported DEI policies when he worked at Youngstown University.
Last week, John Thune, the majority leader in the Senate, told Breitbart News that President Trump's progress at the U.S.-Mexico border has been "mind-blowing" and "staggering."
Thune said those things in a long interview with Breitbart News that was filmed last week in the U.S. Capitol in Washington, DC, as Breitbart News reported.
“I think you have to—what he’s had so far, it’s hard to characterize it as anything but just a staggering success,” Thune said during his recent interview.
“It is—you look at what they were under Biden a year ago, you’re talking about 10,000 or 11,000 a day and now we’re down to 200 a day, it is almost mind-blowing in terms of how much difference the leadership of President and the White House has made over Biden’s open borders policy.
The lawmaker said he expects the president to continue to push resources toward Border Patrol agents and supply needed money for the wall and detention beds: "All of those things needed to continue to secure the border."
Senate Republicans, according to Thune, would work as "partners" with Trump to further secure the border and provide him with additional funding to do so.
In the current proposal being worked on by Congress, he assured that a "generational investment in border security" will be included in the Trump agenda.
“We are going to be partners with him. In the reconciliation bill, we’re working on—we have a generational investment in border security that the president will be able to use as a tool to continue to get that job done,” Thune said.
The measure soon to hit the Senate floor will likely include immigration restrictions, but Thune said Congress will also push for more funding to enhance energy production.
He had harsh words for Senate Democrats for unanimously opposing President Trump's emergency declaration on energy production and stated that Republicans are poised to provide Trump more money to enhance energy output.
The lawmaker said the Democrats' response to energy-related topics is an example of how the Democratic Party is being held "hostage" by the far left.
"Voting against an energy emergency in this country when we clearly have an energy emergency—you look at just as an example electricity, you have artificial intelligence, you got data centers, you got crypto mines, all of these things are incredibly power-intensive, and then of course the Democrats wanted to have everybody already driving electric vehicles,” Thune said.
More Senate Priorities
In addition to these items, Thune emphasized the Senate GOP's efforts to eliminate Biden's regulations by employing the Congressional Review Act (CRA).
“The Biden administration, as you could expect, characteristically relied heavily on the use of regulations to implement their agenda,” Thune said in the interview taped last week.
“A lot of their agenda, of course, was the Green New Deal. It was a lot of their climate agenda.
The Senate voted on Tuesday to repeal the Biden-era regulations that restricted emissions from tire manufacturing, putting a climate-focused strain on the industry.
The resolution was then sent to President Donald Trump's desk for a signature, which is expected to happen sometime in the near future, The Washington Examiner reported.
The Senate passed a resolution that would repeal the Environmental Protection Agency's standards regarding hazardous air pollutants from rubber tire facilities in a 55-45 vote.
In March, the bill was approved by the House when introduced by Rep. Morgan Griffith (R-VA) and advanced through the Congressional Review Act, which offers an expedited procedure for Congress to cancel rules, bypassing the filibuster in the Senate.
“I am happy we are one step closer to eliminating the Biden-era NESHAP rule driven by radical environmentalism that did nothing but hurt workers and businesses across the nation,” said Sen. Tim Scott (R-SC).
“Republican leadership continues to deliver for the American people by getting rid of government overreach and inefficiency and paving the way for productivity and prosperity.”
“The Biden administration forced needless regulations on American tire manufacturers and producers. Increasing the NESHAP standard puts an unnecessary financial and environmental burden on rubber manufacturing facilities," said Wicker.
"Reversing this decision will protect jobs and bring back the time-tested NESHAP rule, which has kept our environment clean and our communities safe."
On the House side, Rep. Morgan Griffith (R-VA) spoke to the bill, saying“House and Senate Republicans are acting decisively to repeal onerous regulations from the Biden EPA, like the rubber tire manufacturing rule, that do very little to serve public health.
"Like many of the regulations issued during the waning days of the Biden-Harris Administration, the rubber tire manufacturing emission standard utilized questionable emissions data and pointed to negligible health benefits as justification for the rule.
He went on to thank the "strong conservative leaders in the Senate, like Senators Tim Scott and Roger Wicker, Congress is exercising its authority to undo this harmful Biden EPA measure and provide relief to America’s rubber tire manufacturers.
Last week the upper chamber passed a resolution sponsored by Sen. Ashley Moody (R-FL) disapproving of the Biden administration’s energy conservation standards for commercial refrigerators and freezers.
After a 52-45 vote, the proposition was approved. The bill is now on its way to the president's desk after passing the House.
This Congressional Review Act resolution would repeal the rule Biden signed into law mandating energy efficiency ratings for freezers and refrigerators.
The Biden administration claims that the Department of Energy's final regulation, published on January 17th, greatly improved energy efficiency by revising the requirements for freezers and refrigerators.
Republican Senator Chuck Grassley (IA) said that he hopes the Supreme Court will rule against universal injunctions as it hears cases involving President Donald Trump, arguing that a president should not have to "ask permission" from judges to govern.
"Just this past week, a D.C. district judge issued a universal injunction blocking the president’s executive order requiring voter ID or proof-of-citizenship prior to voting in national elections."
"Judges are not policymakers," Grassley said. "Allowing them to assume this role is very dangerous."
Grassley noted that the Supreme Court will be directly addressing universal injunctions on May 15 during a hearing on a case involving Trump's order reversing birthright citizenship.
The high court "could and should take action," he said. "In the meantime, I'm continuing to work with my colleagues to advance my critical Judicial Relief Clarification Act (JRCA) and put an end to universal injunctions."
Trump has been stymied at every turn by these injunctions, which judges at the state and local levels have used far more often to block his offers than they have with other presidents.
"The President of the United States shouldn’t have to ask permission from more than 600 different district judges to manage the executive branch he was elected to lead," Grassley declared in March after his colleague Dick Durbin (D-IL) tried to pass a resolution requiring Trump to comply with all federal rulings.
"I happen to agree with some Democrats that in previous years have said some judges have gone way beyond what a judge should do on national injunctions. I hope to find a solution for that, and I hope that you and I could work on that together," he added.
The injunction, of course, failed. It's easy to see that many of these rulings are unfair and making them universal goes far beyond the power the Constitution intended to give judges.
Desperate Democrats are out of power and are using the only branch they have any significant power in--the judicial branch--to thwart Trump's agenda any way they can.
Trump needs a way to shut these judges down, or his agenda won't be able to get very far.
The Supreme Court could give him that ability, but it's far from certain what they will do.
There are at least eight major cases involving Trump happening in the near future, so he will have plenty of chances to get a favorable ruling.
We'll see if the will of the voter can prevail or whether Democrats can once again usurp it.
While the number of illegal immigrants deported by President Donald Trump since taking office in January appears to be lagging a bit behind former President Joe Biden's number of deportees in 2024, a new analysis by Just the News shows that this is not, in fact, the case.
It turns out the Biden administration counted "turnarounds"--those turned back at the border who never entered the U.S.--as removals or deportations.
These turnarounds accounted for 80% of the Biden administration's so-called removals/deportations that year.
This means that Trump's estimated 660 removals per day of illegal immigrants who were living in the U.S. interior is far beyond Biden's (less than 20% of an estimated 770 a day, or about 130 a day).
That's about five times faster that Trump is deporting migrants than Biden was, despite media attempts to portray the opposite.
This should not be surprising given that Biden was always reluctant to restrict illegal immigration in any way and did everything he could to encourage and allow it.
Acting ICE Director Todd Lyons talked up the administration's efforts on Tuesday in a press release.
“We’re just 100 days into this administration and thanks to President Trump and Secretary Noem, ICE is using every tool at its disposal to enforce our country’s immigration laws and protect our communities,” Lyons said.
The numbers given above are for ICE only; across all agencies, Homeland Security reported that 158,000 illegal immigrants have been arrested and more than 142,000 have been deported.
“Deportations have already exceeded 142,000—this is just the beginning. President Trump and Secretary Noem have jump-started an agency that was vilified and barred from doing its job for the last four years,” Homeland Security Assistant Secretary for Public Affairs Tricia McLaughlin told Just the News.
"In the face of a historic number of injunctions from activist judges, ICE, CBP, and the U.S. Coast Guard have made historic progress to carryout [sic] President Trump’s promise of arresting and deporting aliens who have invaded our country,” she continued.
An added benefit of the crackdown is that most migrants won't even try to cross the border when they know they are likely to be caught and deported.
“Additionally, illegal aliens are hearing our message to leave now or face the consequences. Thousands are using the CBP Home App to self-deport. Migrants are now even turning back before they reach our borders—migration through Panama’s Darien Gap is down 99.99%,” she explained.
Border Czar Tom Homan said that more funding is needed to make even a dent in the millions of migrants Biden let into the country, but that they are doing "great" with what they have so far.
Attorney General Pam Bondi announced the rollback of regulations that have protected journalists and allowed government officials to anonymously leak information.
Bondi's order will give federal investigators the authority to use subpoenas, court orders, and search warrants to hunt for government officials who make “unauthorized disclosures” to journalists.
This comes after numerous leaks have damaged the Trump administration as leftist federal workers and officials have coordinated with leftist media outlets to spread damaging information.
The issue of leakers was so prolific during Trump's first term in the White House that Trump administration officials spent more time putting out fires than actually advancing Trump's agenda.
So far, Trump's 2nd term has seen much of the same damaging leaks, and the DOJ is now going to crack down hard on both journalists and the leakers feeding damaging information to damage President Trump and his agenda.
The Biden-era policy was put in place to protect journalists from having their phone records secretly seized during leak investigations. This regulation was strongly advocated for by the mainstream media and journalist advocacy groups.
With those regulations being trashed, the Trump administration is now introducing new regulations that will preserve journalistic freedom but not so much as to allow leakers to blatantly sabotage the White House.
The new regulations will compel journalists to respond to subpoenas “when authorized at the appropriate level of the Department of Justice.”
Furthermore, the new rules will allow prosecutors to use court orders and search warrants to “compel production of information and testimony by and relating to the news media."
However, in order to preserve journalistic freedom, the new regulations explicitly stated that journalists are "presumptively entitled to advance notice of such investigative activities,” and subpoenas are to be “narrowly drawn."
The Trump administration is committed to toeing the narrow line that will preserve freedom of the press while cracking down on political actors dedicated to stopping the Trump agenda through nefarious tactics.
Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard has been at the forefront of taking down leakers by announcing criminal referrals to the Justice Department against multiple individuals who were caught leaking sensitive information.
The Trump administration is going to throw everything they have at the leakers it can catch in order to dissuade other leftists in the federal government from throwing away their careers and lives to serve a political cause.
With these new regulations, the Trump administration is hoping to catch even more leakers and make more examples and stop the bleeding before it bogs down the rest of Trump's 2nd term.
Former First Lady Michelle Obama recently appeared on a podcast and suggested that Ivy League schools "scam" their students, raising eyebrows considering her own attendance at Princeton as an affirmative action student.
Obama appeared on the Diary of a CEO podcast and spoke about her experience at Princeton by saying, "Although I was an outstanding student, I wasn’t a good standardized test-taker. All those numbers said that I shouldn’t do well at Princeton."
She continued by saying, "'So I came in as an ‘affirmative action kid.' Sort of feeling like maybe I don’t belong in these ivory towers and maybe these kids coming from these other schools are really so much smarter and better than I am."
She then continued by saying her academic performance at Princeton demonstrated her right to be there, but that still didn't sit well with some observers who saw Obama's comments as papering over her status as an affirmative action student.
Affirmative action is being soundly dismantled around the nation in recognition of the racist and fundamentally flawed idea. This is in spite of the work of leftists like Obama, who want to keep affirmative action in place and further promote racial identity in academia.
Michelle Obama was clearly defending affirmative action but also openly taking shots at Ivy League schools by saying, "Do not let these people scam you. This is all a racket… That you don’t belong, that they’re smarter, that they work harder, that they know more, that they deserve this more than you do."
Obama was able to study sociology at Princeton and would later go on to study at Harvard Law School, making her a member of America's elite, but not stopping her from waging a campaign of racial grievance for decades.
Thanks to the rise of affirmative action, many students like Michelle Obama were able to enter Ivy League schools, but at the expense of more qualified students from racial groups that weren't considered disadvantaged.
This situation led to a massive backlash over the years, with lawsuits from Asian-Americans alleging that qualified students were passed over in favor of less qualified students from supposedly less advantaged groups.
Eventually, this fight led to the Supreme Court knocking down affirmative action in 2023, finding that it violated the Equal Protection Clause of the U.S. Constitution and Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964.
Of course, Michelle Obama decried that decision by saying, "My heart breaks for any young person out there who’s wondering what their future holds — and what kinds of chances will be open to them." Clearly, she didn't care about kids who had opportunities stolen from them by the scam that is affirmative action.
Michelle Obama is the last person to speak about Ivy League schools, as she represents the elite and is supported by the same people whom she accused of running a "racket." She was comfortable blasting these schools on the Diary of a CEO podcast, but is tied at the hip with these elite organizations.
Ivy League universities like Harvard and Columbia overwhelmingly supported former President Barack Obama's presidential campaigns. Numerous studies have found that the staffing at elite universities is overwhelmingly leftist.
This makes Michelle Obama's comments on Ivy League schools even more bizarre and inauthentic. Obama desperately wants to appeal to younger Americans, yet stands with those same people who have happily embraced elitist and anti-American policies that disadvantage young Americans.
