Third assassination attempt? Cops arrest man allegedly carrying 2 loaded guns, fake press pass near Trump's Calif. rally



Local law enforcement in Riverside County, California, believe they may have thwarted a third assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump on Saturday after deputies arrested a man who was reportedly armed and carrying multiple fake passes near Trump's campaign rally in Coachella.

To secure the rally in Coachella, officers established a double perimeter for the area within a half-mile radius of the event. Those who lived in the area had to pass through checkpoints before they could return home. Officers ensured these residents did not venture toward the rally, the Los Angeles Daily News reported.

'It’s not going to happen in Riverside County. We don’t have the same sicko issues and violent protests like they have in Los Angeles. We’re better than that.'

At around 5 p.m., officers arrested Vem Miller at the checkpoint at the intersection of Avenue 52 and Celebration Drive within that secured double perimeter.

According to reports, Miller — a 49-year-old Las Vegas man described as a right-leaning, anti-government extremist — pulled up in a black SUV. In his possession were a loaded shotgun and handgun as well as a high-capacity magazine, cops said.

Miller also reportedly had several phony rally passes, including a fake press pass and VIP passes. "They were different enough to cause the deputies alarm," Sheriff Chad Bianco said of the passes on Sunday.

"We probably stopped another assassination attempt," he added, according to the L.A. Daily News.

"I thought, 'It’s not going to happen in Riverside County. We don’t have the same sicko issues and violent protests like they have in Los Angeles. We’re better than that.' Go figure."

Miller was hauled off to the John J. Benoit Detention Center on suspicion of possession of a loaded firearm and possession of a high-capacity magazine. He was released on Sunday after posting $5,000 bail, KTLA reported.

He isn't scheduled to appear again in court regarding this alleged offense until January 2, 2025.

Miller, who lost the 2022 Republican primary race to represent the 13th District in the Nevada state Assembly, is reportedly a registered Republican. He also reportedly earned a master's degree from UCLA.

Another man near the Coachella rally was also questioned by the FBI after bomb-sniffing dogs allegedly "repeatedly" identified him as possibly dangerous, Sheriff Bianco said, according to the L.A. Daily News. The man was not permitted to enter the rally, the sheriff added, though whether the man was ever arrested or detained is unclear.

Despite these possible threats, the Trump campaign is apparently attempting to downplay the severity of the danger in Coachella. Bill Melugin of Fox News tweeted on Sunday afternoon: "Sources close to the Trump campaign tell @FoxNews there was no assassination attempt against Trump at his Coachella, CA rally yesterday. We’re told a man with a gun was arrested at the perimeter of the event without incident."

Some on social media are likewise skeptical.

The Secret Service issued a statement on Sunday: "The incident did not impact protective operations. The Secret Service extends its gratitude to the deputies and local partners who assisted in safeguarding last night’s events."

Barstool Sports' Bill Cotter running for Congress in former George Santos district — says New York 'getting out of control'

Barstool Sports' Bill Cotter running for Congress in former George Santos district — says New York 'getting out of control'



Barstool Sports commentator and Queens native Bill Cotter is running for congressional office in New York's third district as a Republican.

Cotter, aka Billy Football, will attempt to unseat Tom Suozzi in NY-03, the wealthiest district in the state. The seat was of course vacated by Republican George Santos when he was expelled from the House of Representatives. Santos has planned to run again in NY-01.

Cotter is running on a strong conservative platform as a Catholic and resident of the area. His target issues reflect that of many modern MAGA enthusiasts but also topics that have bipartisan appeal.

"What happened to the American dream? What happened to feeling good about not only this country but state?" Cotter told Newsmax.

"You would never allow your kid to take the public transport nowadays, with all the crime that's happening. There's shootings. There's stabbings. There's people running around New York City just randomly punching people in the face on their phones. It's terrible. The situation is getting out of control."

The 25-year-old also noted that the city has not properly supported the police, which is included on his platform along with supporting the Second Amendment.

"What part of 'shall not be infringed' is so hard to understand?" his website read. Other platform points have included preventing insider trading, ending the opioid crisis, and holding "Big Pharma" accountable.

Along with requiring voter identification and securing the border, Cotter is surely to win some hearts and minds with his sentiments on affordable housing.

Cotter explained that even some of his richest friends cannot see themselves buying a house in the next few years.

"There's a housing crisis in this country. If you ask anyone in my generation, 'Hey, do you think you can buy a house in the next five years?' none of them even have a chance of saying, 'Yes,'" he told Fox News' Martha MacCallum. "Inflation's robbing our savings, the value of a dollar is going down and wages aren't increasing, and we're stuck in a situation as younger members of the population where we don't see the American dream," he continued.

"I want to restore that confidence and that belief in the American dream."

\u201cGuys can\u2019t buy houses\u201d -Billy for President
— (@)

While the Fox News host questioned whether Cotter had acquired and submitted the necessary number of signatures, Cotter's team has since confirmed via social media that he is indeed on the list for a June 25, 2024, Republican primary.

BREAKING NEWS 🚨 @Billyhottakes is 100 percent CONFIRMED to have filed his paperwork for the ballot ON TIME.

Cc: @BarstoolBigCat @ConnerHKnapp @BarstoolTate @stoolpresidente @Greg_Manz @FoxNews @StuartFeiner @marthamaccallum @PFTCommenter @MacrodosingPod @barstoolsports… pic.twitter.com/Ckcakm5CEB
— Spot (@StrategicSpot) April 5, 2024

When asked if he would be receiving support from Barstool Sports owner Dave Portnoy, Cotter said that he would "have to earn" his vote just like everyone else's.

When asked if he was a Trump supporter, Cotter flipped the question and said that he would have to be an "idiot" to reject support at the grassroots level from the 45th president.

Voting in the third district of New York has historically been tight. No candidate has won by more than 59% of the vote since Peter King dominated the district for 20 years from 1993-2013.

The last Republican candidate for the district was Mazi Melesa Pilip, who lost to Suozzi by less than 14,000 votes in February 2024.

'We can get this under control right now': Dr. Phil says border agents told him how to quickly solve the border crisis



Beloved talk show host Dr. Phil McGraw recently visited the U.S.-Mexico border and revealed that U.S. Customs and Border Protection agents gave him their estimates of how many illegal border crossings have actually occurred, along with solutions on how to solve the issue.

Upon the conclusion of his trip, McGraw told Fox News' Sean Hannity that the Biden administration's border policies have been encouraging bad behavior.

"One of the most fundamental psychological principles is you don’t reward bad behavior," McGraw, a psychologist, said.

The doctor explained that he wanted to speak to border agents who were spearheading the defense of the border and find out what the real issues were in handling such an influx of illegal immigrants.

"These guys are fighting a morale battle, because they can’t get what they need," he reported. "And I wanted to know what’s happening down here? What’s really going on? We hear this number, 6 million people have come across under the current administration."

But McGraw noted that the illegal encounters at the border were actually much higher than what is officially reported, according to his sources.

"I talked to experts down there that say that number is a myth, that it’s closer to 13 million to 14 million that have come across."

On a mission to find solutions, the famous host revealed that border agents didn't say they needed more funding, resources, or even more Border Patrol agents. Rather, they simply expressed that current U.S. federal law needs to be applied and enforced.

"We don’t need more legislation. We just need the laws that are on the books to be followed. We need to be allowed to do our job and we can get this under control right now," McGraw relayed.

"I wanted to know what's happening down here, what's really going on." @seanhannity @MeritStMedia @FoxNews #BorderCrisis #Immigration #DrPhil
— (@)

Dr. Phil also described the different reactions evoked by particular law enforcement agencies: Texas state officials arrest and deport illegal border-crossers, while federal agents perform a catch-and-release method.

"The interesting thing that shocked me, Sean, if [illegal aliens] run into someone in a brown uniform, that’s a Texas Department of Public Safety border guard, they get arrested, they get put in jail, and they get returned," McGraw said, according to Daily Fetched. "If they run into a green uniform, that is a federal, they get money and a court date that’s seven to 10 years down the road, and they get released into the country."

McGraw added that if the illegal immigrants see a brown uniform, "they hide." If they see a green uniform, "they run toward it."

Days earlier, McGraw was pictured at the border wall in Eagle Pass, Texas, and was heard describing the sheer mass of illegal immigrants who have crossed the border under President Biden's administration.

"More than 6 million illegal immigrants have crossed the Texas southern border in just three years. That's more than the population of 33 different states in this country," McGraw said.

The doctor also placed blame at the feet at the vice president for failing to adequately address the problem.

"And what about our vice president, Kamala Harris? ... Did you know she's our country's immigration czar? Guess how many times she's been to the border? Once," McGraw explained.

Elon Musk to visit southern border ‘later this week’ to see ‘severe’ migrant crisis for himself



Elon Musk announced on X, formerly Twitter, that he has plans to visit the southern border “later this week” to see the migrant crisis for himself.

After speaking with Republican Representative Tony Gonzales and confirming the record number of illegal crossings happening at the border, Musk said he will go to Eagle Pass, Texas, this week.

“I spoke with Rep Tony Gonzales tonight – he confirmed that it is a serious issue,” Musk wrote Monday. “They are being overwhelmed by unprecedented numbers – just hit an all-time high and still growing! Am going to visit Eagle Pass later this week to see what’s going on for myself.”

On Monday, Gonzales was joined at the border by several Republican lawmakers, including Representatives Jodey Arrington, August Pfluger, Ronny Jackson, Nathaniel Moran, and Brandon Williams. Gonzales’ office reported that there are currently 5,000 migrants in a Border Patrol holding facility that is meant to hold 1,000.

“Now more than ever, Congress needs to pass a strong budget that puts a stop to Biden’s open-borders agenda,” Gonzales said. “This should not be a partisan issue. My message is clear – end catch and release, stop using asylum as a hall pass, and put our Border Patrol Agents back on the frontlines.”

According to Gonzales, tens of thousands of migrants are still heading toward the United States.

“Processing capacity is at four times its max and local resources are being depleted,” he said Friday.

Fox News recently shared a video showing hundreds of migrants, mostly adult males, on top of trains headed toward the border in Eagle Pass.

— Griff Jenkins (@Griff Jenkins) 1695695568

Eagle Pass Mayor Rolando Salinas, Jr. issued an emergency declaration last week “due to the severe undocumented immigrant surge” overwhelming the city’s resources.

Musk torched President Biden for joining the United Auto Workers’ picket line in Michigan but failing to address the border crisis.

“Maybe he could also pop over to see our southern border at some point,” Musk remarked.

In another post on X, he said, “This is a severe crisis.”

This is a severe crisis
— Elon Musk (@Elon Musk) 1695718199

Last week, Musk called out the “legacy media” for its lack of coverage.

“About 2 million people – from every country on Earth – are entering through the US southern border every year,” he said. “The number is rising rapidly, yet no preventive action is taken by the current administration.”

The Biden administration announced that it plans to send 800 military members to the southern border to help Border Patrol agents process migrants. The troops will not be aiding in law enforcement efforts to curb the crisis.

'You want to test God?!' Golf course altercation leads to intense flex-off over stray ball



A man became incensed after he was antagonized by a group of golfers who claimed he took a woman's ball, resulting in the man getting shirtless and challenging another man to a fight.

The incident occurred at the Crooked Creek Golf Course in southeast Michigan, according to OutKick, which described the area where the exchange took place as chaotic. The specific location is reportedly where three holes on the course converge, with netting even positioned to prevent golfers from hitting one another.

"We got a 'Karen' on the golf course," the TikTok video began, as an unknown individual recorded a golfer in a green and white-striped shirt holding a ball.

The group reportedly alleged that the man took the ball after it landed near him and refused to return it.

"You’ll leave after I don’t give you a goddamn thing.”

"I'm going to take your clubs," a woman off-screen said.

"Then leave! I'm going to stand here and you can complain, goodbye," the man continued saying to a person who was not seen. "You're the one who approached me and I asked her to no longer speak."

"You took her ball!" a woman is heard complaining.

"Please don't speak to me," the man answered.

"Bro, you took her ball," another man chimed in.

While still arguing with his original combatant, the golfer began to escalate the discussion by saying "I'll plant you, bitch boy. Get the f**k off the cart!" before quickly removing his shirt and flexing in a fit of rage.

"You see that! That’s a dude that’s been to heaven, bitch," he screamed. "You want to test God? You f**king come get it, s**t stack!”

"You think I'm mentally ill?" the man asked.

"I know you're mentally ill," a woman responded.

"Leave me alone," the man added as the group of golfers each drove away in their carts.

Trump reportedly plans to skip GOP debate and do interview with Tucker Carlson



Reports indicate that former President Donald Trump plans to skip the first GOP presidential primary debate and do an interview with conservative media figure Tucker Carlson.

Trump has determined to skip the debate, NBC News reported, citing two sources aware of his thinking. The outlet reported that Trump is seeking an interview with Carlson.

"We haven't confirmed anything on our end," a Trump campaign spokesperson noted when questioned about Trump's plans for next week, according to the outlet.

The New York Times reported that, according to individuals briefed on the issue, Trump plans to upstage the GOP primary debate by doing an interview with Carlson. According to two individuals briefed on the situation, Trump has informed individuals close to him that he has determined to skip the debate, the Times reported.

Trump is by far the most popular Republican presidential candidate, according to polling, so his absence would almost certainly lead to lower interest in the debate.

Trump has been publicly questioning why he should participate in the debate when he is already walloping the competition.

"Many people are asking whether or not I will be doing the DEBATES? ALL AMERICANS have been clamoring for a President of extremely High Intelligence. As everyone is aware, my Poll numbers, over a 'wonderful' field of Republican candidates, are extraordinary. In fact, I am leading the runner up, whoever that may now be, by more than 50 Points. Reagan didn't do it, and neither did others. People know my Record, one of the BEST EVER, so why would I Debate? I'M YOUR MAN. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!" Trump wrote in a post on Truth Social.

The debate is slated to take place in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, on August 23 and will be moderated by Bret Baier and Martha MacCallum of Fox News. "The RNC is proud to announce the @FoxNews Republican Primary Debate with Partners @YAF and @RumbleVideo," the Republican National Committee tweeted in April.

Carlson previously hosted a popular primetime program on the Fox News Channel, but the show was abruptly eliminated from the evening lineup earlier this year. Carlson later launched a new show that is unaffiliated with Fox News, releasing episodes directly on Twitter.

Axios reported earlier this year that Fox News had issued a cease-and-desist letter to Carlson. But Carlson has continued creating content and releasing it on the social media platform.

Another indictment, another overreach by Jack Smith and the Democrats

Another indictment, another overreach by Jack Smith and the Democrats

Soros-backed LA DA went easy on man accused of violent crime, and now he's accused of murdering his neighbor



Los Angeles District Attorney George Gascón is facing renewed criticism after his office refused to imprison a man accused of attempted murder and he went on to allegedly murder his neighbor later.

31-year-old Stefen Sutherland allegedly slashed a construction worker's neck in November 2020 after a noise complaint and was charged with assault with a deadly weapon, according to law enforcement sources.

Gascón's office opted for a mental health diversion for Sutherland rather than the prison time recommended by a probation official who wanted to avoid the possibility of further violence.

Sutherland is accused of shooting Jennifer Gomez to death on May 23 over a noise complaint, according to sources with knowledge of the investigation. She was shot 19 times in her home.

Gascón's office released a statement about the case.

"The defendant in this case met the specific eligibility criteria for mental health diversion. A court-appointed psychologist deemed him suitable for the treatment program, and our deputy district attorney agreed to the defense request for mental health diversion," read a statement from a Gascón spokesperson.

"The court approved the treatment plan and deemed the defendant safe for community treatment. The defendant participated for nearly two years in [the] treatment program without issue," the statement continued. "We are saddened by the most recent allegations, and our hearts go out to the victim and those who loved them."

Gascón has been heavily criticized for being soft on crime in order ostensibly to avoid high rates of imprisonment. He has defeated two recall attempts.

Sutherland is being held on a $2 million bail and is due back in court on June 12.

The family of Jennifer Gomez has a GoFundMe account to help pay for her funeral costs.

Here's more about the case:

DeSantis will reportedly announce presidential bid during Wednesday Twitter Spaces with Elon Musk



Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis is slated to announce a presidential bid during a Wednesday evening Twitter Spaces with billionaire business tycoon Elon Musk, according to reports.

"BREAKING: @FoxNews confirms Florida Governor @RonDeSantis will announce his 2024 Presidential run tomorrow night, 6pm ET in a Twitter Spaces interview with @elonmusk," Bill Melugin of Fox News tweeted.

Musk retweeted Melugin's post.

\u201cBREAKING: @FoxNews confirms Florida Governor @RonDeSantis will announce his 2024 Presidential run tomorrow night, 6pm ET in a Twitter Spaces interview with @elonmusk.\u201d
— Bill Melugin (@Bill Melugin) 1684865237

Florida first lady Casey DeSantis tweeted a Fox News article that reported her husband will announce his candidacy Wednesday during a talk with Musk on the social media platform. When sharing the article she wrote, "Big if true..." along with a smiling emoji.

\u201cBig if true... \ud83d\ude42\n\nhttps://t.co/Jrm528DPpA\u201d
— Casey DeSantis (@Casey DeSantis) 1684867814

The Twitter Spaces event will reportedly be moderated by David Sacks.

While speaking remotely for the Wall Street Journal's CEO Council Summit, Musk noted that he is not planning to endorse a specific candidate, according to the Journal. CNN reported that Musk said that he does not plan to endorse someone "at this time."

But when asked last year whether he would support DeSantis for president in 2024, Musk replied in the affirmative.

"My preference for the 2024 presidency is someone sensible and centrist. I had hoped that would the case for the Biden administration, but have been disappointed so far," Musk tweeted in November.

"Would you support Ron DeSantis in 2024, Elon?" someone replied.

"Yes," Musk responded.

\u201c@ProudElephantUS @TimRunsHisMouth Yes\u201d
— Tim Young (@Tim Young) 1669414177

Back in July 2022, Musk suggested that DeSantis could defeat President Joe Biden without even campaigning.

"Trump would be 82 at end of term, which is too old to be chief executive of anything, let alone the United States of America. If DeSantis runs against Biden in 2024, then DeSantis will easily win – he doesn't even need to campaign," Musk wrote.

\u201c@adamirvinmusic @BreitbartNews Trump would be 82 at end of term, which is too old to be chief executive of anything, let alone the United States of America.\n\nIf DeSantis runs against Biden in 2024, then DeSantis will easily win \u2013 he doesn\u2019t even need to campaign.\u201d
— Breitbart News (@Breitbart News) 1657555678

DeSantis will be jumping into a GOP primary field that already includes former President Donald Trump, former U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley, U.S. Sen. Tim Scott of South Carolina, former Arkansas Gov. Asa Hutchinson, author and entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy, and Larry Elder.

DeSantis, who soundly defeated Democratic opponent Charlie Crist during the Sunshine State's 2022 gubernatorial contest, has long been viewed as a figure who might jump into the presidential contest.

Trump has been taking shots at the Florida governor for months and referring to him as "DeSanctimonious."

Trump-era White House press secretary says she will host Fox News' 8 p.m. slot next week



When announcing its split with Tucker Carlson last week, Fox News noted that it would rotate different hosts to fill the 8 p.m. slot until a new host is tapped for the role. Brian Kilmeade helmed the primetime spot last week. This week, Lawrence Jones has been filling in. And former White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany noted on Thursday that she will host the hour each night next week.

"I am honored to share that I will be hosting Fox News Tonight on @FoxNews at 8pm ET all next week (5/8-5/12)! Set your DVR. Please join me next week as we dig into the state of politics, media, culture, and faith in America!" McEnany tweeted on Thursday.

\u201cI am honored to share that I will be hosting Fox News Tonight on @FoxNews at 8pm ET all next week (5/8-5/12)! Set your DVR.\n\nPlease join me next week as we dig into the state of politics, media, culture, and faith in America!\nhttps://t.co/8JtJZwo9zf\u201d
— Kayleigh McEnany (@Kayleigh McEnany) 1683227471

Fox's 8 p.m. ratings have fallen significantly since the network dropped Carlson's program, a trend which appears to be reflected in the responses to McEnany's announcement.

"Sorry @kayleighmcenany nothing against you but I will NEVER watch @FoxNews after the disgusting way they treated @TuckerCarlson Good luck... you will need it as Fox continues to tank! Not even recording anything any longer," one person tweeted.

"I don't watch Fox anymore. Was only watching Tucker before he was let go," someone else tweeted.

"Sorry ms McEnany it's not personal it's fox," someone else wrote.

"Nope, I'm done with @FoxNews," another person tweeted.

The fact that Carlson signed off of his final program last month by saying "we'll be back on Monday" indicates that he expected to return to the air after the weekend.

\u201cHere was the end of what turned out to be Tucker Carlson's final Fox News show last Friday. Certainly no indication that he didn't expect to be on the air tonight. In fact Tucker's final words are, "we'll be back on Monday."\u201d
— Aaron Rupar (@Aaron Rupar) 1682350974

But on Monday, April 24, Fox News Media claimed in a press release that it and Carlson had "agreed to part ways." The Wall Street Journal, citing unnamed people, reported that Carlson learned he was being let go around 10 minutes before the announcement. Megyn Kelly claimed that Carlson had not been fired but that he was still under contract and would need to negotiate an exit.

Carlson released a brief video on Twitter last week that has amassed a whopping 23.9 million views.
