Martin Sheen calls Trump the 'biggest nothing in the world' and tells him to 'start being human'



Actor Martin Sheen vehemently criticized President Donald Trump in an unhinged screed during a live taping of "The Best People" podcast with Nicolle Wallace.

The far-left actor also bashed the president's Cabinet before he said he wanted to give Trump some advice, and instead launched into his tirade.

'There's no heroes in there. There's no music. There's no laughter.'

"The big guy in the White House, if he would take some personal advice — you got to realize, sir, that you are the biggest nothing in the world. And sir, you stop there. You stop listening to all these people around you, these sycophants, who are encouraging you to be your nonhuman self," he said.

"Stop fussing with your hair, and don't worry about your tie. And stand up straight and speak clearly, not from your throat. Speak from your heart and start being human," he continued. "That's what you were made for, not golf. So there you are, Mr. President. With all due respect, sir."

He said he could imagine a meeting of Trump's cabinet members to have the smell of "ego and fear and false worship."

Sheen added, "There's no heroes in there. There's no music. There's no laughter. There's no self-effacement. There's no joy in that room."

The actor not only endorsed Kamala Harris in the 2024 election, but he turned up at a pro-Harris campaign event to sing "America the Beautiful" for the cameras.

He was also among those arrested at a climate change protest organized by Jane Fonda on Capitol Hill in 2020.

"We are called to find something in our lives worth fighting for, something that unites the will of the spirit with the work of the flesh," he said in his speech, "something that can help us lift up this nation and all its people to that place where the heart is without fear."

North Carolina Republicans will 'follow Trump's call' to redistrict the state



Republicans in North Carolina are bringing the state into the redistricting fight between President Donald Trump and Democratic lawmakers.

They announced a vote for Monday to change the state's map for the U.S. House districts.

'We are doing everything we can to protect President Trump's agenda, which means safeguarding Republican control of Congress.'

The Republican leaders said in a press release that the efforts in California to redistrict that state and counteract the redistricting in Texas led to their decision.

"President Trump delivered countless victories during his first term in office, and nine months into his second term, he continues to achieve unprecedented wins," Republican Senate Leader Phil Berger said.

"We are doing everything we can to protect President Trump's agenda, which means safeguarding Republican control of Congress," he added. "Picking up where Texas left off, we will hold votes in our October session to redraw North Carolina's congressional map to ensure Gavin Newsom doesn't decide the congressional majority."

House Redistricting Chairmen Brenden Jones and Hugh Blackwell, both Republicans, released a joint statement endorsing the policy.

"We're stepping into this redistricting battle because California and the radical left are attempting to rig the system to handpick who runs Congress," they wrote. "This ploy is nothing new, and North Carolina will not stand by while they attempt to stack the deck. President Trump has called on us to fight back, and North Carolina stands ready to level the playing field."

California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) fired off a response from his social media account soon afterward.

"Oh look, another lap dog Republican desperate to suck up to Trump. The GOP is rigging elections and trying to cover it up with lies. Americans are not that stupid, Phil," he wrote.

"This started in Texas — and if North Carolina gives in, CALIFORNIA PATRIOTS WILL CONTINUE TO FIGHT FOR AMERICA," he added.

Democrats in New York have announced their intention to redistrict as well, but that effort would not be in time to affect the 2028 elections.

"There's a phrase, 'You have to fight fire with fire.' That is a true statement of how we're feeling right now," New York Gov. Kathy Hochul (D) said in August.

"And as I've said, another overused but applicable phrase, 'All's fair in love and war,'" she added. "That's why I'm exploring with our leaders every option to redraw our state congressional lines as soon as possible."

Portland anarchists’ illegal laser plot disrupts hospital’s lifesaving helicopters



A Portland trauma hospital’s emergency helicopters were forced to divert, significantly adding to their travel time, when local anarchists threatened to “ground” aircraft with laser lights — a federal crime.

Oregon Health & Science University told KGW that several air ambulance vendors refused to land on the hospital’s helipad Saturday evening because of the planned attack. The threatened interruption to air travel added 45 to 60 minutes of travel time for these emergency helicopters.

'If enough lasers are pointed at the aircraft, we think it will not be able to safely stay in the air for long enough to continue to pinpoint the source for law enforcement, and numbers will make it difficult to focus on a single person.'

“For most patients, that will be an acceptable delay. However, for some sensitive situations, such as unstable trauma patients, STEMIs and strokes, the delay could have real impacts,” OHSU stated.

Rose City Counter-Info, an online anonymous anarchist blog based in Portland, shared a flyer advertising the protest.

“You’re invited: Laser tag!” it read. “Every night for weeks, we are forced to listen to the threatening rhythm of helicopter blades as the federal regime spies on us.”

The flyer encouraged readers to “mask up” and “go to a park, a field, or some other public place” to point lasers at “cop copter[s]” at 9 p.m. on Saturday.

“It won’t take many of us to ground the helicopters!” the flyer stated.

The blog post provided further instructions on how to evade law enforcement while engaging in this illegal act.

“If enough lasers are pointed at the aircraft, we think it will not be able to safely stay in the air for long enough to continue to pinpoint the source for law enforcement, and numbers will make it difficult to focus on a single person,” the blog post read. “Be ready to dispose of the laser if you need to — wear gloves and clean it with alcohol in case you have to toss it in a hurry. Consider taking precautions to keep DNA off of it as well.”

The Portland Police Bureau told Fox News that no laser incidents were reported that evening. However, the department said it did arrest one individual earlier in the week.

The Department of Homeland Security vowed to stop “Antifa domestic terrorists” from taking over cities.

“We will bust their networks and bring every one of them to justice,” the DHS wrote in a post on X.

The website that shared the flyer has also recently doxxed Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents, posting photos of alleged officers and their alleged home addresses.

“We put together some posters for people to slap up around town. Name and shame these Gestapo clowns. No peace. No safety. Not welcome in our town,” one blog post stated.

Anti-ICE protest in Portland takes ugly turn when naked cyclists show up



The chaotic protests outside the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement facility in Portland, Oregon, took a different turn over the weekend when hundreds of nude cyclists appeared at the federal property.

The naked cyclists temporarily blocked the ICE facility's driveway, according to NewsNation correspondent Jorge Ventura. A large crowd showed up on Sunday despite the heavy rain.

Several arrests were made after some in the crowd refused to move away from the driveway when ordered.

As has become common during these rowdy demonstrations, agents with the Federal Protective Service, Border Patrol, ICE, and the Federal Bureau of Prisons had to move the crowd back from the driveway and street to allow vehicles to access the facility. Several arrests were made after some in the crowd refused to move away from the driveway when ordered.

Video from Sunday shows some in the crowd fighting against the federal agents and trying to prevent people from being arrested.

Portland is one of the cities to which President Donald Trump is trying to send federalized National Guardsmen. While Blaze News was in Portland the previous week, a judge blocked the California National Guard from being deployed after originally blocking Oregon's troops from being sent to the facility.

A lawsuit filed by Portland and Oregon is still being deliberated by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit. At least two of the judges on the three-judge panel, both appointed by Trump in his first term, seemed skeptical of the lower-court judge's ruling. The circuit court's ruling is expected to be handed down sometime this week.

The protests and riots outside the ICE facility have taken a toll on the residents who live near the contested area. In addition to loud noise and tear gas, Chris Hayes, FPS assistant director for field operations, previously told Blaze News the constant traffic disruptions have posed a hazard to demonstraters and drivers.

GOP Leader Roasted For Refusing To Celebrate Columbus Day

Outrage ensues when 13-year-old is arrested by ICE — then DHS releases devastating accusations



After some public outrage, the Department of Homeland Security released details about the criminal accusations against a minor who was arrested and detained by Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

The mother of the teenager told the media that she didn't know why he was arrested. She also claimed that when she went to pick him up from the Everett Police Department, she was told he was being detained by ICE and then transported to a detainment center in Winchester, Virginia.

'Here are the facts: he posed a public safety threat with an extensive rap sheet including violent assault with a dangerous weapon ...'

Critics pounced on the story to criticize the administration.

"This makes NO SENSE. A 13-year-old was arrested by local police for unknown reasons, and then turned over to ICE, which is detaining him far away from his mother — who is going through immigration court, has an asylum application on file, and is legally authorized to work," claimed Aaron Reichlin-Melnick, who heads an immigration activist group.

On Monday, DHS Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin released information about the teen's legal troubles.

"Here are the facts: he posed a public safety threat with an extensive rap sheet including violent assault with a dangerous weapon, battery, breaking and entering, destruction of property," she wrote on social media. "He was in possession of a firearm and 5-7 inch knife when arrested."

On Sunday, Judge Richard Stearns told ICE and the Department of Homeland Security that they must release the boy unless they produce a legitimate justification for his detainment. He also ordered that they must have a hearing no later than Oct. 17 for bail.

The mother said that her son is a seventh-grader and they are both from Brazil but have pending asylum claims.

ICE nabs alleged illegal alien truck driver with ‘NO NAME GIVEN’ license



Immigration and Customs Enforcement claims to have arrested an illegal alien truck driver who was issued a commercial driver’s license by New York State, reading, “NO NAME GIVEN.”

'Allowing illegal aliens to obtain commercial driver’s licenses to operate 18-wheelers and transport hazardous materials on America’s roads is reckless and incredibly dangerous to public safety.'

In September, Oklahoma Gov. Kevin Stitt (R) shared a photo of a New York State CDL belonging to “NO NAME GIVEN,” whom he described as an illegal immigrant. Much of the identifying information on the Real ID was redacted.

Stitt indicated that the individual was apprehended as part of the Oklahoma Highway Patrol’s enforcement actions, adding that troopers had captured 125 illegal immigrants.

ICE announced Friday that it had arrested Anmol Anmol, an alleged illegal alien from India who had been issued a CDL by New York State.

A photo of the license reads, “Anmol NO NAME GIVEN.”

The CDL appeared to match the one previously posted by Stitt, as both displayed the same issue and expiration date. Blaze News contacted ICE to determine whether the license previously shared by Stitt belonged to Anmol.

A search of the online ICE database confirmed that as of Monday afternoon, an individual named Anmol Anmol from India is being held at an ICE detention facility in Oklahoma.

ICE stated that OHP encountered Anmol during a routine inspection at a weigh station on I-40.

Anmol reportedly unlawfully entered the country in 2023, amid the Biden administration’s open-border crisis. He was arrested as part of a three-day enforcement operation partnership with OHP and placed in removal proceedings.

“Allowing illegal aliens to obtain commercial driver’s licenses to operate 18-wheelers and transport hazardous materials on America’s roads is reckless and incredibly dangerous to public safety. Thanks to the successful 287(g) partnership of ICE and Oklahoma Highway Patrol, Anmol Anmol is no longer posing a threat to drivers,” Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin stated.

“New York is not only failing to check if applicants applying to drive 18-wheelers are U.S. citizens but even failing to obtain the full legal names of individuals they are issuing commercial driver’s licenses to,” McLaughlin continued. “DHS is working with our state and local partners to get illegal alien truck drivers who often don’t know basic traffic laws off our highways.”

“To see that on a driver’s license issued by a state, ‘No name given,’ and the worst part, there’s a Real ID star right up there in the corner,” acting ICE Director Todd Lyons stated during an interview with Fox News.

“You have these sanctuary states that want to go ahead and try to just make it welcoming for these people that we don’t even know who they are,” Lyons continued.

New York State Department of Motor Vehicles told Blaze News last week that the license in Stitt’s social media post “was issued in accordance with all proper procedures, including verification of the individual’s identity through federally issued documentation.”

“The individual has lawful status in the United States through a federal employment authorization and was issued a license consistent with federal guidelines,” the DMV’s statement continued. “This document was not issued under the Green Light Law. It is not uncommon for individuals from other countries to have only one name. Procedures for that are clearly spelled out in the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services policy manual, and it is important to note that federal documents also include a ‘no name given’ notation.”
