- Marco Rubio Cracks Down on ‘Birth Tourism’ Scammers Who ‘Sell Citizenshipâ...
Secretary of State Marco Rubio is spearheading the Trump administration’s crackdown on “birth tourism” by targeting scam artists who have been using bogus documents and visas to let pregnant travelers come to the U.S. and give birth to kids who automatically become American citizens. Fox News host Kayleigh McEnany had a report on the crackdown on Saturday in America. She reported hundreds of visas were yanked by the administration last week. “The State Department [is] shutting down a sophisticated tourism network after the U.S. Embassy in West Africa revealed more than 100 foreign nationals were using fraudulent documents and visa fixers to illegally obtain American citizenship,” McEnany explained. “It was a similar story in North Africa. Over 100 Visas were just revoked as embassy there said expecting mothers were coming to America to give birth for the sole purpose of giving their child American citizenship,” she continued. “Meanwhile in Europe, we now know that there was over 400 suspected birth tourism cases since 2024.” McEnany then brought on State Department spokesperson Tommy Pigott to discuss it more. “These are networks that are essentially trying to sell citizenship to the United States as if it was a commodity,” Pigott said. “That includes coaching people on how to defraud U.S. Consular Officers to try to obtain a visa through fraud.” He continued, “That also includes the logistics you laid out in the United States that leave the American taxpayer footing the bill — often time in these cases, birth tourists pay the absolute minimum when it comes to their medical expenses, and then U.S. taxpayers foot the bill. That is outrageous, that is unacceptable, we are putting a stop to it.” The Fox News report comes a few days after the State Department announced it was “defending the integrity of U.S. citizenship by ending illegal birth tourism schemes.” It also comes as the U.S. Supreme Court is weighing birthright citizenship. President Donald Trump has called it a “great scam” that is being exploited by rich foreigners. A Supreme Court decision is expected this summer.

Burgum told Fox News’s Kayleigh McEnany that there are “three levers you have if you’re trying to end up with an agreement like President Trump is going to end up with, which is a great agreement.” “He won the war militarily, then economically, with the super-effective block of the Strait of Hormuz, blocking that, stopping all the ships,” Burgum continued before discussing “Project Freedom” and the U.S. Navy covertly clearing mines and “helping escort ships out at night undetected.” Burgum continued: I think the markets reflected this, prices were dropping for oil globally. And part of the support for doing that was the diplomatic relations that President Trump has developed with all of our partners across the Mideast, including, you know, Bahrain, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, UAE, Saudi Arabia — all these folks lining up in support of the United States. So, a complete shift in the politics in the Middle East. So, diplomatically, militarily, economically — three ways to win a war, Trump won all three of them, and and that puts him in a position to end up with a fantastic deal for the American people. A senior Iranian official told MS NOW Saturday that the Memorandum of Understanding with Iran that Trump is set to electronically sign on Sunday includes a 60-day ceasefire, reopening the Strait of Hormuz, the end of the U.S. naval blockade, and “the release of billions of dollars in sanctions relief to Tehran.” In addition, Axios reported that the agreement will “launch negotiations over Iran’s nuclear program.” Trump phrased it this way on Truth Social: “At the appropriate time, when all is calm, we will go in and get the Nuclear Dust, buried deep under the powerful sunken granite mountains, thanks to our beautiful B-2 Bombers and their brilliant pilots, and downblend and destroy it, whether in Iran, or the United States.” Democratic Rep. Seth Moulton (D-MA) told MS NOW that the M.O.U. was a “terrible deal” for the United States. “And at the end of it, it doesn’t sound like he’s going to get even a semblance of a nuclear deal,” Moulton said.

- Ticketmaster Blames Spurs, Pivots Away From Blocking Knicks Fans From Buying Tic...
Knicks Center Karl-Anthony Towns after New York won Game 2 in San Antonio. (Photo Credit: Eric Gay) Knicks fans looking to watch their team potentially win their first title in 53 years on Saturday will now be allowed to buy tickets to watch the game in San Antonio, after Ticketmaster and the Spurs changed a policy that blocked non-Texans from getting tickets. The change comes after Ticketmaster was limiting ticket sales to Game 5 of the NBA Finals to fans within a 150-mile radius of the Spurs’ home arena. That move led to a lot of complaints from Knicks fans and even New York Gov. Kathy Hochul (D), who cried “foul” over it. But the blowback led to Ticketmaster and the Spurs caving, apparently. Ticketmaster blamed the Spurs in a new statement on Saturday afternoon, saying the “geographic restrictions” were “set by the hosting team.” “If you bought your tickets on Ticketmaster, you have a valid, authenticated ticket that will get you in tonight,” the statement added. “No tickets purchased on Ticketmaster for this game have or will be canceled.” That statement came out about a half-hour after Madison Square Garden Sports — the group that owns the Knicks — said they had talked to Spurs ownership about the ticket restriction. “Contrary to prior reporting, we’ve confirmed with Spurs ownership that they will not be revoking any tickets that Knicks fans have to tonight’s game in San Antonio and all ticket holders will be allowed in Frost Bank Arena,” the MSG statement said. “We look forward to tonight’s game.” The Knicks say they’ve confirmed with the Spurs that all ticket holders will be allowed inside tonight’s game. pic.twitter.com/hkGl5PawZ9 — Stefan Bondy (@SbondyNBA) June 13, 2026 Earlier on Saturday, the New York Post reported the 150-mile radius would be enforced by checking the billing address on all credit card transactions. Any orders by fans outside the restricted zone would be canceled and refunded, the report said. That spurred Hochul to vent, “Thousands of New Yorkers bought tickets, booked flights, and made plans in good faith. Ticketmaster and the Spurs should reverse this decision and let the fans who bought those seats keep them.” Her post followed the Knicks’ historic comeback in Game 4 on Wednesday night, storming back from being down 29 points to win the game.

On CNN’s Table for Five on Saturday, the table discussed Biden’s recent interview with Newsom in which Biden launched into a widely-shared defense of Maine Democratic Senate candidate Graham Platner and his various controversies, including a now-covered Nazi symbol tattoo. “I don’t think most people care one way or another. Nobody really is, like, begging to hear from Hunter Biden. But the quickness with which some Democrats are like, oh, he’s trashing Trump online, let’s elevate that. I don’t know. I mean, why? That just seems substance free,” Abby Phillip said on Table for Five. Sellers argued: You had two people that were together for a particular cause, right? A singular cause. And I think that a lot of times, people assume that Gavin Newsom ascended to the level of popularity he did because he had the same type of arrogance, egomania, and Twitter presence that Donald Trump did. And when you match him with Hunter Biden, you kind of get this really weird, like, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, kike, and for some Democrats, that’s what they’re looking for. They’re looking for accountability. They are looking for boisterism. They are looking for machismo, something that Donald Trump represented. Newsom has a Twitter account that mocks and mimics Trump’s brash social media posts, and Hunter Biden has been lashing out at critics and pushing himself more into the public eye lately. Sellers added that he could “care less” about Biden’s positions because he’s “not in the arena.” “I think for me, Hunter Biden can do whatever he would like to do. He’s not in the arena. I could care less,” he said.

- MS NOW Pundit Demands More Media Scrutiny of Trump Turning 80 — After Downplay...Democratic strategist and regular MS NOW guest Michael Hardaway called for more media scrutiny of President Donald Trump’s health, energy, and mental acuity — even though he previously downplayed concerns about former President Joe Biden’s age while he was in office. MS NOW host Alex Witt asked Hardaway if there needed to be “more concern” about Trump’s age on Saturday. “Yes! I mean, this guy’s falling asleep in meetings. There are basic facts that he either confuses or just doesn’t really know,” Hardaway said. “So Joe Biden was far more lucid in terms of his day-to-day activities, and notwithstanding that fact, there was a sea of news stories on a day-to-day basis about his health and his age.” That answer came a day before Trump will celebrate his 80th birthday. Hardaway’s defense of Biden comes after he said the former president’s age was no big deal while he was in the White House. Hardaway scoffed at reporters in 2023 who opted to “reheat the same Biden age story again. And omit that his opponent is basically the same age.” The next year he said yes Biden is “insanely old” and had a “terrible performance” at his debate with Trump — before adding Trump was “old AND plans to be a dictator.” Biden dropped out of the 2024 race a few weeks later, due mostly to the fallout from his train wreck debate against Trump. Biden’s wife Jill Biden recently said his performance was so alarming at the debate that she believed her husband was having a stroke on stage. Hardaway continued on Saturday, saying there needs to be more questions asked about Trump’s health. “Why is he going to the doctor so often? Who are all these specialists he’s seeing?” Hardaway asked. “What is happening here?” He then said it was “absurd” that Trump’s doctor said he was the 6’2, 240 pounds — which Hardaway said is only possible if Trump were an NFL linebacker. “We need the truth,” Hardaway added about Trump’s health. “We are not being given the truth.” However healthy he is, Trump has been more available to journalists than Biden since reentering the White House. The New York Post reported Trump had 493 press interactions in his first year back in the White House — 85% more than Biden.

- ‘Thought I Was Going to Get Fired!’ Jacob Soboroff Opens New MS NOW Show Wit...Jacob Soboroff began his new MS NOW show by playing a wild video of his very first election coverage, where he said he was certain he’d be fired after an interviewee cursed live on the air. Connect With Jacob Soboroff aired its first episode Saturday, as former 11 a.m. host Ali Velshi moved to 11 p.m. weekdays. “For my first day here, the thing that made me feel comfortable and safe, and at home, was being out in the world with so many of you, and I hope to bring whatever that thing is that we have developed together into the studio every weekend,” Soboroff said. “What is that thing?” He continued: It’s a connection. A connection that I have felt countless times with countless people reporting for you, including a decade ago, on the first time I really felt it, on my inaugural election night here, when young people inside the University of Iowa Field House in Iowa City showed up in record numbers. They argued with each other, they even dropped an F-bomb on the air as they debated the future of the country, in one of the weirdest forms of exercising the franchise you could possibly imagine. On the archival footage, a student asked how Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) was going to fix the Department of Veterans Affairs, “because the V.A. is so f*cked up.” Anchor Brian Williams stepped in, saying, “You know, when you listen in to caucuses, you take the good with the bad*ss” as Soboroff is heard saying, “Sorry about that.” Williams continued, “— and that people often speak the way they do out on the street. And we apologize. I know Jacob apologizes. We all join him in apologizing for a bit of French that snuck in to our English language translation there.” “Again, apologies from us here in the field house, as well,” Soboroff said. “Obviously, as I said, this is what democracy looks like. It ain’t pretty, and people get very heated out here.” Cutting back to the studio, Soboroff said, “I swear to you, in that moment I thought I was about to get fired, but it turned out it was just the beginning. It was the start of connecting with all of you, the start of sharing experiences together, the start of feeling seen and understood by you guys,” he told the audience.
