Fox & Friends host Brian Kilmeade picked apart President Donald Trump’s agreement to provide Saudi Arabia with a civilian nuclear program, saying future leaders might not be as trustworthy as Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman. “Look, MBS seems to have emerged as somebody we can trust. I don’t know who’s next. His rise was very unlikely. If you told people that this guy, this unknown prince, was gonna rise and be the progressive, the open thinker that he is, and move that country in a way nobody thought possible, caught us by surprise.” Calling MBS a “progressive” was an interesting choice, given U.S. intelligence believe he approved the 2018 assassination and dismembering of Washington Post columnist Jamal Khashoggi, who was a prominent critic of the Saudi government. MBS has denied any involvement. “I worry about some people that want to bring Saudi Arabia back. President Trump’s out of office, four, five years later, there’s a new guy in charge, and he agrees more with the Wahhabism and the [Osama] bin Laden that they got rid of,” Kilmeade said, continuing: I love the progress Saudi Arabia has made. But I don’t see our benefit to letting them enrich. I think it’s a bad trend. I know the pushback of what I just said is, hey, “China and Russia are going to do it, and we want to be the one to build it.” My feeling is, why don’t we just do what UAE did? It’s worked. Saudi Arabia doesn’t want a nuclear weapon. They said, “We’ll only get it if Iran gets it.” So maybe they only get that ability if Iran gets a nuclear weapon. And maybe that helps other people step in and say, “We don’t want Iran to have a nuclear weapon.” Host Kayleigh McEnany added, “Big question I have…the Abraham Accords. When I was leaving the first Trump administration, I was told we were pretty close to a normalization of relations between Israel and Saudi Arabia…Could we see that in the future in response to this?” “And was there perhaps a secret deal arranged here that perhaps Saudi Arabia won’t publicly recognize Israel,” added host Lucas Tomlinson. “Perhaps something going on behind the scenes.” Shortly after the hosts’ comments, Trump posted a Truth Social clarification of his Saudi agreement. “The Civil Nuclear Deal (There will be no enrichment of material!) being made between the… [TheTopNews] Read More.2 hours ago - JUST IN: Four Republicans Join Democrats in Vote to Halt Iran War In Rebuke of T...Four House Republicans joined Democrats on Thursday in a vote to restrict President Donald Trump’s war powers as the Iran conflict drags on. Reps. Thomas Massie (R-KY), Brian Fitzpatrick (R-PA), Tom Barrett (R-MI) and Warren Davidson (R-OH) crossed party lines and supported the war powers resolution which calls for a halt to the war. The Senate is also expected to consider a similar resolution later in the day. The House resolution, calling for congressional approval for the war, passed in a 214-208 vote. CNN’s Lauren Fox reported on the vote and noted that support for these resolutions is largely symbolic and non-binding and used to send a message to the White House. She added that Republican lawmakers are growing concerned with the unpopularity of the war and how it will influence their reelection chances. She reported: Even if it passed both chambers, these resolutions do not have the force of law. What they do is they send a signal to the White House, to the administration that they are registering their discontent with what the president has done. And I will tell you that over the course of the last several days, as I’ve been talking to Republicans, it does seem very clear that as they leave town for this month long recess, as they’re campaigning back home, they recognize that this kind of conflict in the Middle East is very damaging for them in their reelections, especially as we’ve seen gas prices increase over the last several months. But many of these Republicans have argued this is simply about the fact that Congress should have a say, that this is an important branch of government, that they should have a say in this escalating conflict, and that they believe that the White House at this point has gone too far.

- ‘I Can’t Say That Any Longer’: Michael Smerconish Admits He Was Wrong to D...Commentator and lawyer Michael Smerconish admitted he was wrong to dismiss Republican concerns about illegal voting after New Jersey Gov. Mikie Sherrill (D) revealed this week that a computer glitch resulted in more than 6,000 noncitizens being registered to vote in the Garden State. Speaking to journalist Mark Halperin during a Wednesday episode of his Sirius XM show The Michael Smerconish Program, the CNN host said it was time to reevaluate the issue of voter fraud, while Halperin called the news “politically potent.” MARK HALPERIN: We have to take what she acknowledged happening and now we have to build on it. There needs to be an independent investigation, because this is true, that it’s new and it illustrates what Republicans have warned about. But the scale that the governor says it happened at and her reasons for why she says it happened make it a much, if true, make it a much less big story. If it happened by accident on this small scale, it requires a lot more explanation and investigation about whether it’s happened in New Jersey more or elsewhere. But the scale is not very significant. So we need to know more. And this shouldn’t be a political thing that’s governed simply by who can spin better or tweet funnier. It should be what are the facts? How did this happen? What was the scale? Is it happening elsewhere? And everyone should be determined to get to the bottom of that regardless of what position they’ve had in the past on this question. MICHAEL SMERCONISH: Yeah, I agree. It’s it’s wipe the slate clean and let’s see where the the facts lead us. There was a an analysis in The Times in January on which I relied January of 2026. Initial review finds no widespread illegal voting by migrants puncturing a Trump claim. And I remember discussing this at length, having guests on to talk about it and then coming to the conclusion that you referenced, this doesn’t happen. I can’t say that any longer. I don’t know how often it does happen, but I can’t say any longer this never happens. HALPERIN: And just as I’ve been critical of Republicans before yesterday who have overstated the extent of our knowledge about how often it happens, I was critical of Democrats and who said this never happens. There’s no need to investigate it and and kind… [TheTopNews] Read More.2 hours ago

Speaking to Fox Business host Maria Bartiromo on Tuesday’s Mornings with Maria, Lummis, who helped negotiate the updated ethics language, praised the president’s “willingness” to accept tougher ethics standards than any previous president. “We are dealing with, of course, the president’s willingness to subject himself and Melania Trump to the most restrictive ethics language that a president has ever subjected himself to,” Lummis said. “But, of course, there is no pleasing Democrats at this point, so we are facing some headwinds,” she added. Her comments came a day after Senate Republicans unveiled a revised, 616-page version of the CLARITY Act, an overhaul of federal cryptocurrency regulation that includes a new ethics section crafted after negotiations with the White House. The revised proposal would bar public officials and their spouses from issuing or sponsoring digital assets while in office, with violations carrying potential fines and the forfeiture of crypto-related profits. Officials could avoid penalties by divesting their holdings or placing them in qualified blind trusts before taking office. The Democratic opposition, however, argues that the bill’s language leaves loopholes and does little to address concerns over Trump’s family’s cryptocurrency ventures, which earned the president $1.4 billion in 2025, the first year of his second term. Lawmakers have also objected to provisions giving the Justice Department exclusive authority to enforce the ethics rules, rather than allowing state attorneys general to pursue cases.

- James Carville Calls on Democrats to Relent and Pass Universal Voter ID: ‘We A...Veteran political strategist James Carville warned Democrats they are “not gonna win the war” when it comes to voter ID laws, so they should relent so they can “move to the next thing.” On his Politics War Room podcast, Carville called voter fraud an “infinitesimal problem,” but acknowledged that some kind of ID requirement to vote always polls well with the public. “It exists on such a minuscule scale, and it’s been proven time and time and time again, but I don’t know if we’re not better off saying, okay, we’ll take that alternative ID, bring your gas bill or your light bill or something. Because for whatever reason, it polls at 75%,” he said. President Donald Trump is currently pushing Congress to pass the SAVE Act, which would require a valid ID and proof of citizenship to vote in federal elections. The legislation would also put new restrictions on mail-in voting. Critics have argued the bill is too broad and would create a major hurdle for voters ahead of the midterm elections. “We are not gonna win the war against some kind of ID. It doesn’t make any sense. It doesn’t fix anything. But maybe just go along with it and move to the next thing,” Carville said. Carville’s co-host Al Hunt pushed back, arguing most states already have ID requirements and blasting the SAVE America Act. Carville clarified that he does not support Trump’s favored legislation, but he pushed Democrats to back some kind of universal voter ID legislation as a compromise. “I never had a problem with it. I’m just saying of all the things … if every poll shows 75 or better, saying we should have some kind of ID to vote… just quit fighting it and go along with it and move to the next thing,” he said.
