- CBS’s Margaret Brennan Battles Tom Homan on ICE Shootings: ‘Hard to Substant...
CBS News’s Margaret Brennan battled with Trump border czar Tom Homan over the two fatal Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) traffic stops that happened in the past week. Department of Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin temporarily suspended the traffic stops after two motorists were shot dead in Houston, Texas, and Biddeford, Maine. President Donald Trump quickly overturned the suspension, however, posting on Truth Social that ICE agents were doing a “GREAT job.” “These were fatal shootings, of course, in Houston and in Maine, and in Houston, it was an unmarked car,” Brennan said on Sunday’s Face The Nation. “So when you’re saying,’ Don’t resist,’ — these individuals who were chasing the man who died, they didn’t have markings on that vehicle that would allow for him to know that they were ICE. It just looked like a car coming after them in the videos.” “No. They have emergency lights,” Homan argued. “Officers have insignia. So, when they get out of the car and approach the car you can see they’re law enforcement officers. “Well, in the video that has been public, it’s not a marked car,” Brennan countered. “I’m not saying it’s a marked car, but they have emergency lights and sirens,” Homan said. “So, when they pull someone over they activate the emergency lights. A lot of police departments — I’m in new New York City right now — a lot of NYPD officers are driving unmarked vehicles and that helps them find people that don’t want to be found, right?” “So, you know, the bottom line is, we’ll see when the investigation plays out,” Homan continued. “They would be alive if they complied with the vehicle stop by federal law enforcement. Just comply! You can — if you don’t think you’re being treated right and they had no reason to stop you, then there’s avenues to take them to court, to Sue. Get a lawyer and —” “Well, The family of the man in Houston thought he was being robbed because it was an unmarked vehicle, not that it was law enforcement at all,” Brennan said. HOMAN: They had emergency lights. They activate emergency lights. Blue and white. In my vehicle, I drive where I’m with my security detail — BRENNAN: You’ve seen that on video? Because we haven’t. HOMAN: Seen what on video, ma’am? BRENNAN: There were lights. Because in the videos we’ve seen there aren’t.

- ‘Hard to Bet Against Messi’: Trump Dishes World Cup Prediction Before Argent...President Donald Trump was asked for his World Cup final prediction during a Sunday pre-match interview with Fox’s Jenny Taft, right before Argentina and Spain kicked off in New York City. The president said he didn’t want to pick a side… but he also couldn’t see himself putting money on Spain, considering Argentina had legend Lionel Messi leading the way. “I knew you were gonna ask, I thought about it a lot… I hate to get involved, even though politically it doesn’t matter so much. The head of Argentina is a friend of mine, he’s done a terrific job,” Trump said. “But I would say that it’s hard to bet against Messi.” He praised Messi a bit more, saying he made an “exactly perfect” pass in Argentina’s comeback win against England in the semi-final. “That was perfect. If you had a strike zone, it was exactly where it had to be,” Trump added. “I won’t pick sides, I just think it’s very hard to bet against Messi.” Trump spoke to Fox before attending the final match. It has been a busy World Cup for the president, with Trump notably calling FIFA boss Gianni Infantino to overturn a controversial red card on USA striker Folarin Balogun. FIFA canceled the red card, but it ultimately didn’t matter; the U.S. got smoked 4-1 by Belgium in the next game. Still, Trump applauded Infantino for the “great decision” during an event on Friday. “Probably the most unforgettable is when they gave a gentlemen — is it a red card? And I was forced to call Gianni and just make a recommendation,” Trump said. Trump then gritted his teeth and feigned like he was irate when he called the FIFA president. “I said Gianni, I’d like to make a recommendation — LET THE GUY IN THE GAME!” He continued, “No I didn’t say that. I said I’d like to wage a complaint. And actually, I had no idea [the call would be reversed].” The Argentina-Spain match started at 3:00 p.m. ET on Fox.

- Trump Appears to Get Booed at World Cup
Screenshot President Donald Trump seemed to get a frosty reception Sunday from the crowd at the World Cup men’s soccer final between Spain and Argentina. Flanked on either side by his wife Melania Trump and FIFA president Gianni Infantino, the president was briefly shown on the big screen at the conclusion of Jennifer Hudson’s rendition of the National Anthem — and seemed to get boos from the capacity crowd at MetLife Stadium. Though the boos were only somewhat audible on the Fox Sports broadcast feed (which can be briefly seen starting at the 2:07 mark of the clip below, additional video circulating social media from inside the stadium seemed to confirm a negative crowd reaction. Jennifer Hudson performs the National Anthem at the 2026 FIFA World Cup Final pic.twitter.com/5b8gmAp9k0 — FOX Sports (@FOXSports) July 19, 2026 It is the second time in as many months that Trump has drawn boos at a major sporting event in the New York-New Jersey area. In June, the president was heavily jeered as he was shown to the crowd on the big screen during the singing of the National Anthem. Trump is slated to be on the field during the postgame ceremony to award the trophy to the winning side. He has enjoyed a close relationship with Infantino — who created and awarded him the inaugural FIFA Peace Prize in late 2025. The president was interviewed by Fox Sports ahead of Sunday’s match, and seemed to lean towards predicting an Argentina victory. “I would say that it’s hard to bet against [Lionel] Messi,” Trump said. He added, “He’s great.” Watch above via Fox Sports.The post Trump Appears to Get Booed at World Cup first appeared on Mediaite.

What’s fair for the landlord to make, if you don’t like 12?” MacCallum asked. “They’re complaining that 12 is not enough, and we don’t think that anyone should have a constitutional right to double digit returns on their investment,” Gordillo argued. MacCallum was clearly dumbfounded by his answer. “No one should have a double digit return on their investment?” she asked. “No one has a right! That’s not in the Constitution.,” Gordillo fired back. “What are you talking about?!” the perplexed anchor said. He tripled down on his remark before saying landlords are “crying” about New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani implementing rent freezes. MacCallum responded by saying some landlords are “lousy” and others are good, but they’re all trying to make a profit on their investment. It’s also unclear where Gordillo is pulling his stats from, because most rent-measuring sites have NYC pegged at about a 5% annual return for landlords. His appearance on Fox News comes after a handful of socialist candidates won Democratic primaries over the last month. Two of those candidates in New York — Darializa Avila Chevalier (D) and Claire Valdez (D) — are card-carrying DSA members, just like Mamdani; the mayor backed both Chevalier and Valdez in their primaries. Beyond their shared economic beliefs, both agree with Mamdani ICE needs to be abolished. MacCallum told Gordillo on Friday she wasn’t loving the anti-capitalist rhetoric she was hearing. “I just think that the idea that no one should make a double digit profit is the antithesis of the desire to like, you can be anything you want to be in New York.” she said.

- Michigan Dem El-Sayed Dodges When Jake Tapper Confronts Him About Saying People ...Michigan Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed (D) dodged CNN’s Jake Tapper on Sunday when asked why he said a lot of people were upset right after Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei was killed. El-Sayed ducked Tapper’s question during an interview on State of the Union. Tapper pointed to a report from the Washington Free Beacon in March, which obtained audio of the liberal candidate saying “there are a lot of people in Dearborn who are sad” the ayatollah was killed at the start of the Iran war; Dearborn is home to a large Muslim population and where the biggest mosque in the USA is located. El-Sayed also said in the audio he did not want to comment on the matter further because he did not feel it was worth it. “I thought that quote was interesting, because the ayatollah has killed tens of thousands of innocent Iranians, not to mention the proxies that Iran has funded that have killed innocent civilians all over the Middle East,” Tapper said. “Why were you worried about offending people who support the ayatollah?” El-Sayed shook his head and smirked as Tapper asked the question. He then proceeded to not answer it — and instead opted to bash President Donald Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. “Jake, on a day where we’re mourning the loss of two more service members in a war we never should have fought, I think all of us should step back and ask in Michigan — frankly everyone in America — that this president, backed by a prime minister of a foreign government, took us to a war we had no business fighting in. “So yeah, I didn’t want to comment on it then, because it’s a ridiculous pretext. And now you’re asking about the ayatollah, who’s dead, by the way, and you’re not asking me about the service members who died. He continued ranting a bit more about Tapper not asking him the question he would have liked. “I was specifically asking you about comments you didn’t want to make because you didn’t want to offend people in Dearborn, which is in Michigan,” Tapper told him, once his non-answer was finally done. Tapper then pivoted to asking him about immigration policy. El-Sayed’s appearance on CNN comes as he is locked in a tight Senate race with Rep. Haley Stevens (R-MI). He has been a frequent guest on cable news lately —… [TheTopNews] Read More.3 hours ago
