Two sisters are accused in connection with the stabbing of a Detroit restaurant worker over a wrong food order — and one of the sisters reportedly was nine months pregnant at time of the incident.

Brianna and Kierianna Long were charged with assault with intent to murder, assault with intent to do great bodily harm less than murder, and assault with a dangerous weapon after the incident on the city’s east side, WDIV-TV reported.

‘I’m going to kill you.’

Police told WDIV the stabbing occurred in the 17100 block of East Warren Avenue just after 6 p.m. May 30. WDIV did not name the restaurant; Metro Detroit News said it was a chicken restaurant.

Brianna Long is 29, and Kierianna Long is 26, Metro Detroit News said, citing court records, adding that the restaurant worker is 23.

Prosecutors allege that after the sisters received a wrong food order from the worker, they argued with the worker, went behind the counter, and began assaulting the worker, WDIV said.

Brianna Long and Kierianna Long allegedly chased the worker and threw items at the worker inside the restaurant, the station said. Metro Detroit News said the items included pots and pans.

WDIV said the worker threw things back at the sisters, and prosecutors indicated the sisters picked up a knife thrown at them and used the knife to stab the worker in the stomach.

More from the station:

Prosecutors also said hot grease was attempted to be thrown at the worker, and one of the sisters allegedly told the worker, “I’m going to kill you,” during the alleged assault.

The worker was taken to a local hospital and had to undergo surgery, officials said.

The sisters allegedly drove away from the scene but were later taken into custody, WDIV said.

Brianna Long was nine months pregnant at the time of the alleged stabbing, the station said, adding that she gave birth four days before her arraignment.

During the arraignment, Brianna Long’s defense attorney claimed the worker told the sisters that she didn’t “give a f**k” about the wrong food order and threw things at Brianna and her sister first, WDIV reported.

Brianna Long also pleaded with the judge during the arraignment, saying she was innocent and that she had a four-day-old baby at home, the station added.

The judge expressed concern that a food order error led to an alleged violent assault, WDIV reported, adding that the judge as a result set the sisters’ bonds high.

Prosecutors said Kierianna Long is accused of stabbing the employee, while Brianna Long is accused of taking part in the assault and helping drive away from the scene, Metro Detroit News reported.

Brianna Long was given a $25,000 cash bond, the station said, adding that Kierianna Long was given a $100,000 cash bond.

A welder named Juan Hernandez joined SpaceX in 2015 at $28 an hour. He took stock instead of a fatter paycheck. The day the company was listed, those shares were worth about $880,000.

He has company. More than 4,000 current and former SpaceX employees became millionaires when the company began trading on the Nasdaq at $135 a share. The valuation hit $1.77 trillion, the seventh-largest public company and ahead of Tesla. It was the biggest IPO ever recorded. About 400 of those workers now hold stakes above $100 million, and some of them ladle soup in the cafeteria.

The teenager weighing a coding boot camp against welding school should study the leaderboard in Brownsville.

Learn to weld

That last part flips the usual script. Rank-and-file employees have struck gold in stock debuts before, but most often they were the ones writing code or creating marketing decks

This time it’s very different.

SpaceX handed equity down to welders, machinists, and line workers at Starbase, many of whom took below-market pay for shares. The bet looked reckless a decade ago, back when SpaceX still lost rockets on the launchpad. Today, the only thing still exploding is their net worth.

The setting makes it stranger. Brownsville sits near the bottom of every income chart in Texas, and SpaceX put more than 3,000 jobs there. Home prices in Cameron County have more than doubled since the rockets arrived, climbing from around $131,000 in 2014 to over $281,000.

Critics call that unaffordable, but the complaint misses who is doing the buying. The new money was earned in the county, by people who lived there before SpaceX showed up. When a poor town’s home values double on the back of local paychecks, the residents hold the deeds. Rising prices turn dangerous when wages sit still. Brownsville got richer faster than it got expensive.

Deskbound

Now for the mandatory dread about machines coming for our jobs and, in the more ominous forecasts, our throats. But now automation is a white-collar problem. AI can draft a deal sheet or pass the bar exam. What it can’t do is snake a wire past a joist or seal a fuel tank that holds at cryogenic temperatures without splitting. The jobs vanishing first are the ones done sitting down. Paralegals should sweat. Plumbers can light up a cigarette and relax.

In April, a humanoid robot built by the phone maker Honor finished a Beijing half-marathon in 50 minutes and 26 seconds, quicker than any human has run the distance. A year before that, at the first such race, one machine toppled at the start and another walked into a barrier, and every robot needed a human handler jogging beside it like a parent at a toddler’s first steps. Ask one of those to fish a cable through a finished wall and find the live wire before something ignites. Fine motor control and sound judgment still belong to people. The robots can run, but keep them away from your breaker box.

So the trades have an opening, and it widens if manufacturing returns. A factory needs hands long before it needs a wellness coordinator. The teenager weighing a coding boot camp against welding school should study the leaderboard in Brownsville.

Elon earned it

Then there is Musk. The IPO makes him a trillionaire, the richest man alive. Bernie Sanders, the millionaire who wrote a best-seller about the immorality of millionaires, calls the number obscene. Paul Krugman blames a “rigged system.”

None of this started with the IPO. Attacking Musk has been a fixture on the left for years, somewhere between a hobby and a second income. The trillion-dollar number raised the stakes. The objections write themselves and skip the question worth asking first. How did he get there?

Plenty of fortunes start with a dead grandparent and end in an offshore account. But this one came from hardware that lands itself and flies again. Musk bet on factories and launchpads while easy money chased apps. He keeps hours that would bury most executives. He sleeps on factory floors when a launch date slips, a habit his critics conveniently ignore.

And he paid everyday Americans in stock when cash would have cost him less, allowing them to win as well.

Before wheeling out the guillotine and inviting Mark Cuban to drop the blade, separate the fortunes built on extraction from the ones built on output. Musk is a visionary, a builder of truly great things. He made the rocket cheaper and the cook richer. Capitalism has never looked so hard to hate.

Amid sky-high prices for just a single room in New York City, living among nuns is becoming increasingly popular.

Average rent prices in the city have already jumped by almost $150 in 2026, sitting at just under $3,700 per month for June.

‘It was the cheapest place I found in Manhattan.’

Rent could get as high as $4,000 by the end of August, trends on Zillow show, a long way from where studio apartments or even two-bedrooms were in 2021: $2,000 and $2,600, respectively.

Get thee to a nunnery

In the face of these prices, New Yorkers are reportedly filling up residences run by nuns, who offer cheaper prices but require tenants to adhere to a stricter set of rules — a polar opposite of New York City free-for-alls Americans saw during the NBA Finals, for example.

The Wall Street Journal reported on five different nunneries in New York that offer housing at a third of the price, or less, of the average NYC apartment. St. Agnes Residence on the Upper West Side starts at about $950; Centro Maria in the Bronx charges about $800; and St. Mary’s Residence on E 72nd St. is around $1,200 per month.

One former renter at Sacred Heart Residence in Chelsea, named Katie, paid $1,650 for her spot.

“Nuns are awesome,” Katie told the outlet. “They be chilling.”

Hannah remarked that the Menno House, a 10-person residence in Gramercy Park, had its smallest room listed for $580/month.

“It was the cheapest place I found in Manhattan,” she said.

Cheap rent is not all the nuns are offering, either.

Daily habits

At Centro Maria, five nuns live with 21 residents in a four-story building. The benefits of this show up in the form of a daily morning breakfast for the residents cooked by the nuns, including pancakes, eggs, sausage, fruit, and more.

The nuns not only clean the building, they host parties for residents to intermingle and even have karaoke in the dining room.

There are rules, of course, offering some stability to residents in the crazy city. Some had a reported curfew of 11 p.m. or midnight, while women’s residences bar male visitors from bedrooms, as well as alcohol.

“I love living with the girls. They keep me young,” said a Sister Rita. But as loving as the nuns can be, they are also strict, and they’re not hiding it.

One convent has a display board in the lobby that lists who is home and who is out; the nuns say they lie awake until everyone is home.

“I don’t go to bed if I don’t know where someone is,” Sister Maria says. If a girl is late for her curfew — which she has likely informed her nuns of ahead of time, possibly out of fear — Sister Maria lies down and waits. The nun said she typically thinks, “I’m gonna kill her tomorrow,” and then gets up when the door opens.

Sister Maria also conducts surprise room inspections twice per month.

“You don’t know the date, but I’ll be there,” she reportedly said with a smile.

As for Sister Rita, who loves her girls, she said that she vets any boyfriends who are brought to the building and tells the girls to their faces if she doesn’t like them.

As reactions to Karmelo Anthony’s murder conviction continue to flood social media, BlazeTV host Jason Whitlock says the most shocking behavior isn’t happening in the form of riots — it’s happening on the internet.

“There has been a different form of rioting that I did not predict or see coming. … People are rioting and looting their brains online. People are saying crazy things in defense of Karmelo Anthony,” Whitlock says.

“They’re saying really ridiculous things defending Karmelo Anthony because they’re defending this demonic culture that black people have adopted — black people have been baited into. And now, in order to defend our racial idolatry, we have to defend some of the dumbest, most repulsive behavior on the planet,” he says, before pulling up an article one woman wrote that represents this “repulsive behavior.”

The article, by Dr. Stacey Patton, is called “Dear Jeff Metcalf: Your Son Is Dead Because You Failed to Teach Him That Black Boys Have Boundaries.”

Whitlock calls the article “insanity.”

“A lot of these things that we’re seeing are black women making the most ridiculous arguments in the history of the planet justifying the murder,” he says, before showing another example.

“Here’s two black women sitting around talking about the lies that black people should tell to get on those juries so that we can free Karmelo Anthony,” he says.

“If they say, ‘Can you be fair?’ Don’t say, ‘No, I’m not going to put a black man in jail.’ Don’t say that, OK? ‘Cause if that’s what you gonna say, you could have stayed home. You have to go and be like, ‘No, I will hear the evidence. I can be fair.’ Don’t say, ‘I hate white people and I don’t care what he did.’ Don’t do that,” one woman said on the “Gin and Juice Podcast.”

“That’s what people were doing in this case, OK? And then everybody’s like in an uproar because there’s no black people on the jury when damn near half of the black people who could have been on the jury canceled themselves out, you know?” she continued.

“‘Hey, go be dishonest. Go help a kid that murdered someone get away with murder,’” Whitlock mocks, explaining that women like this are a “force for nihilism and wickedness and deception.”

“They’re doing this out in front of everybody. This isn’t a private conversation. They’re unrepentant about their wickedness. And that’s the culture that they’ve created. And that’s why their kids, boys and girls, are unrepentant about their wickedness,” he adds.

A dozen people have been pronounced dead after a skydiving plane crashed shortly after taking off on Sunday.

The plane, a Pacific Aerospace P750, ascended from Butler Memorial Airport in Butler, Missouri, before stalling just moments later and crashing in an adjacent field near Interstate Business 49 around 11:30 a.m. Central Time. All 11 passengers and the sole pilot on board were pronounced dead.

‘Key to this investigation is going to be looking at the mechanical condition of the airplane itself, the engine.’

It is not currently known what caused the crash. Dennis Jacobs, airport manager of the Bates County Emergency Management Agency, suspects that power issues are to blame for the plane’s troubles.

“It had just taken off and made a left turn. In my opinion, I think it was losing power, and he was trying to make it over to the highway and land, and he stalled and went down nose first and caught fire,” Jacobs said.

Jacobs denies that weather played any role in the crash, describing the day as “beautiful” up until the tragedy.

Bailey Reed, who witnessed the crash, told CBS News that the plane was “completely perpendicular with the wings to the sky, to the ground, going fast. And then they just hit the ground.”

Reed added, “They didn’t have time to jump.”

The aircraft was reportedly only 100 feet in the air when it began to show signs of failure. The Federal Aviation Administration reported that they were “not providing air traffic control services” at the time of the crash.

Family members of the victims were present and witnessed the tragedy unfold before their eyes, according to Bates County Sheriff Chad Anderson.

“Our hearts go out to them. There’s nothing we really can say to make it better. We just pray for them and their loved ones and their friends and their family and hope that they can recover to some sense of normalcy,” Anderson said during a press conference.

Skydive Kansas City, the company that organized the jump, released a statement in the aftermath of the crash: “This is a devastating loss for everyone connected to Skydive Kansas City and for the wider skydiving community. Our deepest sympathies are with the families, friends, and loved ones of all who were lost.”

The company added, “At this time, the focus of the management and ownership team is to assist investigators and to support the staff and the broader skydiving community. The entire team is in shock, and the community is close-knit.”

Officials from the NTSB and FAA are on the scene in Butler to begin their investigation into the incident.

“Key to this investigation is going to be looking at the mechanical condition of the airplane itself, the engine,” Robert Sumwalt, the former chair of the NTSB, said.

Butler is a small town of just over 4,000 residents located about 65 miles south of Kansas City.

Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents arrested several illegal aliens this week who were previously convicted of sex and drug crimes, according to a Department of Homeland Security press release exclusively obtained by Blaze News.

The DHS said the operation is part of its ongoing campaign to remove “criminal illegal alien pedophiles, sexual deviants, drug dealers, and other violent criminals” from American communities.

‘We will never stop removing heinous criminals from our nation and making America safe again.’

“It’s common sense: Americans don’t want criminals in their communities,” DHS acting Assistant Secretary Lauren Bis stated.

ICE agents arrested Ever De Leon-Gurrola, an illegal alien from Mexico who was previously convicted of indecency with a child by exposure and aggravated kidnapping in Hidalgo County, Texas.

“Under President Trump and [DHS Secretary Markwayne] Mullin, we will never stop removing heinous criminals from our nation and making America safe again,” Bis said.

Alongside the fact that the British government is now apparently in the business of regulating AI girlfriends, U.K. Prime Minister Keir Starmer just announced a sweeping ban on social media for anyone under 16 in the U.K.

Snapchat, TikTok, YouTube, Instagram, Facebook, and X are the platforms named so far in the U.K. government’s official announcement. Modeled on Australia’s ban, the list may not be final.

‘Is this simply overt political censorship?’

Restrictions will also be enforced on gaming sites, including blocks on livestreaming and stranger communication with children under 16.

Starmer previously said he was personally opposed to a “blanket ban,” but according to GB News, a government consultation closed in May with nearly 120,000 responses and over 90% of parents backing a ban.

The U.K. government also preloaded the announcement with a spending pledge.

A £132.5 million “Every Child Can” program was unveiled to fund “enriching activities” in sports, art, and nature — framed as alternatives to doomscrolling.

But nobody can say for sure whether Bluesky, the left-leaning alternative to X, is even covered by the ban. GB News says it “looks set to escape a ban” entirely, but according to LBC, Technology Secretary Liz Kendall told a radio host on Monday, “In Australia, Bluesky is included in the ban, and we plan to use their model.”

Reem Ibrahim of the Reason Foundation suggested the ban could be a form of “political censorship”: “The UK is banning under-16s from social media, under the guise of ‘protecting kids’, but it will not include Bluesky. Is this simply overt political censorship?”

The U.K. government’s definition is broad enough to cover almost any app “whose purpose is to enable social interaction and which allow users to post material” and therefore could include sites like Reddit, Pinterest, and Tumblr.

And buried in the same announcement is a ban on under-18s using “romantic companion chatbots,” with all AI chatbots required to dial back “intimate functionalities” for minors.

Washington isn’t thrilled either. In its formal response, the U.S. Embassy in London said it preferred “narrowly targeted requirements” over “broad social media bans,” adding that “most content should remain accessible by default, including political speech.”

Making any of this stick will likely require platforms to confirm who is underage, though the government has not said how that will work yet.

Bill Gates knew Jeffrey Epstein was a convicted sex offender. He met with him anyway — for years. On Wednesday, he had to explain that to Congress.

The 70-year-old Microsoft co-founder appeared before the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee for a closed-door, transcribed interview. The session lasted nearly six hours.

‘I guess if you’re a big deal, you can do more than the rest of us.’

On his way in, Gates told reporters he was “glad to be here voluntarily.” He retained Jake Greenberg, who until December was the Oversight Committee’s chief investigations counsel. Mid-session, Greenberg reportedly said Gates would not answer questions about his affairs unless directly tied to Epstein.

The paper trail complicates the “voluntary” part.

In February, Rep. Nancy Mace (R-S.C.) formally asked Oversight Chairman James Comer (R-Ky.) to subpoena Gates and compel him to testify under oath.

Comer sent Gates a formal written request in March stating the committee believed he had “information that will assist in its investigation.” Before the session on Wednesday, Comer told reporters, “No one’s accusing Bill Gates of any wrongdoing.”

In his prepared opening statement, Gates expressed regret but denied having extensive knowledge about Epstein’s criminal behavior.

“I recall being aware that Epstein had faced prior legal issues, but I did not fully understand the extent of the crimes he committed,” he admitted. “I accepted the introduction without applying the scrutiny I should have.”

He also denied ever visiting Epstein’s island, ranch, or Florida home.

Epstein pleaded guilty in 2008 to soliciting prostitution from a minor and served jail time as a registered sex offender. Gates claimed he began meeting with Epstein in 2011 over a pitch to unlock billions in global health donations.

By December 2014, Gates said he had cut off contact, concluding Epstein “would never deliver on his promises.”

Rep. Melanie Stansbury (D-N.M.) said she directly asked Gates why he continued to associate with a registered sex offender. Gates told her that “getting billions of dollars for global health was worth it,” she said.

After Gates allegedly cut ties in 2014, a departing employee engaged Epstein to negotiate the “separation” — Epstein, Gates claimed, used that channel to learn of his infidelities and pressure him to re-engage.

Rep. Tim Burchett (R-Tenn.) called the questioning “intense” but said Gates was “well coached” and that he didn’t expect much new information to surface.

Burchett also broke with GOP leadership over the closed-door format: “I’m big about transparency. … Let it be wide open.” He added, “I guess if you’re a big deal, you can do more than the rest of us.”

Gates closed his opening statement to Congress with a conditional apology: “If the time I spent with Epstein lent him any credibility, I am deeply sorry.”

He left without answering a single question from reporters.

Democrats have repeatedly called for Trump to testify — a push Republicans have so far blocked. But the White House may not be able to stay out of it much longer.

Per Stansbury, Republicans have agreed to call acting Attorney General Todd Blanche — Trump’s former lawyer — to testify about White House Epstein strategy sessions.

Comer also announced plans for a transcribed interview with Alan Dershowitz, who negotiated Epstein’s 2008 plea deal.

A full transcript is expected in the coming days.

Heidi Beirich was a director at the Southern Poverty Law Center. A man identified as “F-9” was allegedly a neo-Nazi informant. And according to a damning new report building off the Justice Department’s latest indictment against the SPLC, the two allegedly fell in love under the most unlikely circumstances.

Indictments

In April, the Justice Department announced that a grand jury in Alabama returned an indictment charging the SPLC — a liberal outfit whose bread and butter is smearing law-abiding conservatives as “extremists” — with 11 counts of wire fraud, false statements to a federally insured bank, and conspiracy to commit concealment money laundering.

‘I knew it was that fat, ugly hog.’

The organization is accused of secretly dumping several million dollars in donated funds to individuals linked to various extremist groups, including the Ku Klux Klan, Aryan Nations, and National Socialist Party of America — groups the SPLC was supposedly fighting against.

The DOJ expanded its case against the SPLC this month, filing a superseding indictment on June 2 that alleged, among other things, that the “SPLC secretly funneled approximately $4.1 million dollars in tax-exempt donor funds to a series of fictitious accounts” — such as for the fake Tech Writers group — that in turn paid so-called field sources “who were either leading or affiliated with multiple violent extremist organizations.”

The field sources allegedly used SPLC donor money for various activities, including:

Attending and hosting extremist group rallies across the country; Growing existing chapters of extremist groups;Creating new chapters of extremist groups;Making donations to extremist group leaders;Purchasing materials for cross burnings as well as for Ku Klux Klan robes and hoods;Creating racist paraphernalia that extremist groups sold at rallies; andPublishing extremist literature for recruitment purposes.

SPLC CEO Bryan Fair, whose smear- and fear-mongering racket has denied the allegations of wrongdoing, claimed that the field sources were “paid confidential informants” tasked with gathering “credible intelligence on extremely violent groups.” He said the SPLC no longer works with such informants.

F-9 finds love

The superseding indictment alleges that in one case, at the SPLC’s direction, a field source referred to only as “F-9” “infiltrated” a neo-Nazi group called the National Alliance.

While reportedly funded over a 20-year period, F-9 allegedly received over $1.2 million in SPLC donors’ money just between 2010 and 2023. While receiving SPLC donor funds, F-9 allegedly fundraised for the National Alliance and helped it “carry out its extremist activities.”

Although a proven asset to the neo-Nazi group, F-9 apparently gave the SPLC some return on their investment.

According to the allegations, in 2014, he broke into the National Alliance’s headquarters in West Virginia; stole 25 boxes of documents; transported those documents across state lines; and, with the knowledge of an SPLC employee and the help of SPLC funding, copied those documents before breaking back into the National Alliance headquarters to return the originals.

The New York Post identified the SPLC employee involved in this alleged plot as the former director of the SPLC’s Intelligence Project, Heidi Beirich.

Beirich, an anti-Trump liberal who now serves as the chief strategy officer at the Global Project Against Hate and Extremism, did not respond to Blaze News’ request for comment.

The SPLC employee identified as Beirich allegedly used around $6,000 in donor money to pay a different field source — a man the Post identified as Randolph Dilloway, an accountant whom the neo-Nazi group hired to conduct a forensic audit — to falsely take the fall for the burglary.

The indictment alleged further that the stolen documents served as the basis for an SPLC “Hatewatch” story, which was used to solicit more donations.

Beirich penned the lengthy March 2015 “Hatewatch” article titled “Chaos at the Compound,” where she discussed drama and mismanagement behind the scenes at the National Alliance, making extensive use of internal documents that she claimed Dilloway had copied and provided to the SPLC.

Beirich allegedly leaned on her field source for more than information.

Not only was the SPLC employee identified by the Post as Beirich overseeing payments of donor money to F-9, but she was also allegedly in a romantic relationship with him, according to the superseding indictment.

“During this relationship, Employee-2 and F-9 shared a house and two bank accounts,” the indictment said. “Between 2015 and 2021, approximately $140,000.00 in donors’ money flowed from the SPLC operating account, through the Tech Writers account, and was ultimately deposited into the joint bank accounts held by F-9 and Employee-2. This amounted to approximately 66% of all money ever deposited into their joint bank accounts.”

The indictment further alleged that the employee identified as Beirich “then used donors’ money to pay the couple’s personal living expenses.”

Property records reviewed by the New York Post revealed that during the period covered by the indictment, Beirich owned a vacation home in Ellijay, Georgia, in addition to her Montgomery, Alabama, residence.

After over 20 years with the SPLC, Beirich left the organization in December 2019 — around which time she was reportedly earning $190,000 in salary and benefits.

The SPLC and National Alliance did not respond to a request for comment from Blaze News.

William White Williams, National Alliance’s 78-year-old chairman, told the Post, “I knew it was that fat, ugly hog Heidi Beirich.”

In addition to confirming that the details of the indictment comport with what happened to his organization and expressing uncertainty about the identity of F-9, Williams said, “I think some of those cluckers wanted to get out of the movement, and they went to the SPLC for help. But instead of helping them, [the SPLC] said, ‘Why don’t you stay in and get paid?'”

The United States and Iran announced a preliminary framework agreement intended to end the recent war, reopen the Strait of Hormuz, and lift the U.S. blockade of Iranian ports. The agreement reportedly includes a 60-day ceasefire period for negotiations over Iran’s nuclear program. A formal signing ceremony is scheduled for June 19 in Geneva, Switzerland.

Critics and analysts across the political spectrum, however, have expressed skepticism because many key provisions remain undisclosed. Israeli officials and other observers have raised concerns that unresolved issues — including Iran’s regional proxy networks and the specifics of future nuclear restrictions — have been left for later negotiations.

To get clarity on these matters, Glenn Beck spoke with none other than Vice President JD Vance.

Glenn begins with several frank questions: “How do you negotiate with an apocalyptic, end-times-twelver regime, and what makes you confident that we can, as the president has said on the outset, get no support for proxies, end of the missile program, and no nukes? Do we have those, and how do you lock them in with — to be honest — crazy people that think they’re living in the end times?”

“One of the most important lessons that [Trump] has given me in international negotiation or anything is you don’t trust anybody,” says Vance.

“I don’t trust the words; I don’t trust the commitments, though they have committed to stop funding terrorism and to stop building or buying a nuclear weapon. Those commitments are there, but I trust people’s actions,” he adds.

This philosophy, he claims, underpins the entire peace deal.

“The way that we set up that deal, given the president’s directives, is if they perform the things that they say they’re going to perform, then they get a lot of relief, and if they don’t perform any of those things, then they get nothing,” says Vance, claiming that regardless of how Iran reacts, the United States is still in “a great position.”

“We got the Strait of Hormuz open; oil is now down below $80 today. We have their military still destroyed, their defense industrial base still destroyed, their nuclear program still destroyed,” he declares.

If Iran “[behaves] like a normal country,” the United States will treat it “like a normal country,” he adds, and if it doesn’t, Iran will suffer while the U.S. remains strong.

“The United States still has all the cards, and there’s no skin off our back for entering into this negotiation,” says Vance.

Glenn reiterates his initial question: “And no support for proxies, end of the missile program, and no nukes for sure?”

“Correct, Glenn, and if they don’t do that, they don’t get any of the benefits of the bargain,” Vance confirms.

But as a Christian, Glenn can’t help but wonder about the fate of the Iranian people.

“It is hard to watch a regime slaughter its own people who are — just to use an American term — ‘yearning to breathe free.’ We hoped that we would be able to have, you know, a free people in Iran by the end of this. It doesn’t look like that is part of the plan at all. Can that be done without … regime change?” he asks.

“We’ve given the Iranian people an opportunity here. [Iran’s] military is substantially weaker. I mean it’s effectively gone. … If the Iranian people want to rise up and make, you know, their own country or make their own political future, then obviously the president of the United States would be happy to deal with whatever new government they produce, but we’re not going to force that on anybody,” Vance explains.

“We will empower people on the ground who yearn to breathe free, but we’re not going to force them to … elect their own government. What we’re going to do is pursue our best interests,” he continues.

The U.S., Vance says, entered this war with Iran with clear goals: to prevent Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon and to allow it a “conventional military” that could not “threaten its allies in the region.”

“And that’s what we got,” he states.

Three San Francisco Giants pitchers have received a league warning about their failure to comply with the team’s Pride Night celebration, Major League Baseball stated.

Specifically, Giants pitchers Landen Roupp, JT Brubaker, and Ryan Walker are being threatened with league discipline.

‘That’s just kind of something I believe in.’

On Friday, starting pitcher Landen Roupp and relievers JT Brubaker and Ryan Walker wore the rainbow Pride caps on Pride Night but wrote a Bible verse on them. The Pride Night hats featured a rainbow version of the Giants’ logo that included colors that represent transgenderism.

In a statement to the Athletic, the league said, “The writing on the cap violates our rules, and consistent with normal practice, we have warned the players about future violations.”

Roupp was asked about his silent protest after the game and said, “It’s just about God’s covenant and a promise that He makes to us that, you know, His faithfulness and His mercy.”

“That’s just kind of something I believe in, and I stand firm in that, and I’m thankful we live in a country where, you know, we have the freedom to believe what we want,” Roupp added, per Sports Illustrated.

Roupp, Brubaker, and Walker referenced Genesis 9:12-16 on their caps, which says the following:

And God said, “This is the token of the covenant which I make between me and you and every living creature that is with you, for perpetual generations: I do set my bow in the cloud, and it shall be for a token of a covenant between me and the earth. And it shall come to pass, when I bring a cloud over the earth, that the bow shall be seen in the cloud: and I will remember my covenant, which is between me and you and every living creature of all flesh; and the waters shall no more become a flood to destroy all flesh. And the bow shall be in the cloud; and I will look upon it, that I may remember the everlasting covenant between God and every living creature of all flesh that is upon the earth.”

Additionally, Giants reliever Sam Hentges appeared in the game on Friday night and decided not to wear the Pride hat, instead opting for the Giants’ black and orange logo.

Pitcher for the Los Angeles Dodgers Blake Treinen protested in a similar manner last week when he refused to wear a Pride-themed hat when he pitched in the ninth inning.

The Bible verse method of protest was also used by Dodgers pitcher Clayton Kershaw in 2025, when he wrote, “Gen 9:12-16,” on his hat as well.

Blaze News has also reported on the Washington Nationals’ public relations disaster surrounding pitcher Trevor Williams and his alleged blacklisting from team promotions due to his Catholic faith.

Williams spoke out against Pride celebrations in 2023, when he was also a member of the Dodgers.

Steven Spielberg’s highly anticipated alien movie “Disclosure Day” hit theaters last Friday. In the weeks leading up to its premiere, a circulating theory — fueled by the government’s ongoing UFO file declassifications — suggested Spielberg collaborated with the government to prepare the public for real alien disclosure.

Glenn Beck saw it on opening night, and he says it’s definitely “worth seeing.”

But could it actually be predictive programming?

On this episode of “The Glenn Beck Program,” Glenn shares his raw thoughts on what “Disclosure Day” really means.

Glenn isn’t ready to dismiss the theory that “Disclosure Day” is predictive programming — entertainment designed to plant ideas so that future real-world events feel familiar and less shocking.

“The Department of War and the CIA have had an official entertainment liaison office for decades,” he says.

“They are brought in to help shape stories, and it’s not a shadowy conspiracy … [Hollywood is] given jets and bases and technical advisers for their movies, and in exchange, they shape the stories for the government, and this is documented policy.”

However, there’s another framework worth considering: George Gerbner’s cultivation theory.

Gerbner’s theory argues that long-term, heavy exposure to media gradually “cultivates” or shapes people’s perceptions of reality, making them believe the world is more like what they see on screen than it actually is.

Glenn points out that heavy media consumption is one of the modern era’s defining characteristics, as people are “scrolling and staring and consuming media” essentially “eight hours every day.”

“[Gerbner’s] research shows that heavy viewers develop mean world syndrome where everything is a danger. They overestimate the danger, crime, threats. They become more fearful, more dependent, and more open to strong-man measures,” he explains.

What if “Disclosure Day” isn’t preparing us for real aliens but rather attempting to scare people into submitting to future government mandates?

The most critical question, Glenn insists, is: “Who profits from the fear?”

“We’ve been seeing a steady drum beat of disclosure that is happening. I don’t know what’s real and what’s not,” Glenn confesses.

But he does know one thing: “A government who has been denying [aliens] for decades suddenly decides to open the door?”

“Why? And who profits from fear?” he asks.

A plot to attack the UFC Freedom 250 event on Sunday was thwarted by the FBI and supporting law enforcement agencies, according to FBI Director Kash Patel.

“On June 10, FBI and our law enforcement partners became aware of a potential threat to the UFC America 250 event in Washington, D.C. involving individuals outside of the National Capital Region — and thanks to the rapid action of this FBI, our partners, and the [Department of Justice in a multi-state operation], multiple individuals are now in custody and allegedly planned attacks were stopped cold,” Patel wrote in an X post Tuesday.

‘We got to tell everybody to tone it down.’

Officials claimed the plot included employing drones with explosive capabilities to target surrounding buildings, prompting event attendees to flee toward a team of snipers, according to Fox News. Between the crowds on the South Lawn and the Ellipse, approximately 90,000 gathered in the area to watch the event.

The attackers then allegedly planned to rush the White House gate.

Fox News also reported that a suspect allegedly revealed the targets to be “billionaires,” “capitalist elites,” and politicians with funding from the American Israel Public Affairs Committee.

Signal chats obtained by the FBI allegedly featured “pre-operational activity” discussed among a network of 23 people. Five people are in custody, Fox News reported.

In a statement on X, Secret Service Director Sean Curran said, “The U.S. Secret Service worked closely with the FBI throughout this investigation. In the days leading up to this weekend, our special agents, mission support personnel, and technical security teams worked around the clock to identify those responsible and hold them accountable.”

Curran added, “Equally important to our protective mission is ensuring accountability through the justice system.”

When Trump was asked about the alleged attack at the G7 summit in France, he responded, “I haven’t heard of it,” adding, “The attack that I watched was the fighters.”

On “Fox & Friends” Tuesday morning, Vice President JD Vance said, “This is what happens when people turn the rhetoric up so loud that disagreeing with somebody is a cause for violence.

“We got to tell everybody to tone it down.”

“Everybody has a role to cut this stuff out, but I think a lot of my Democratic colleagues in Washington have got to look themselves in the mirror and say, why is so much of this political violence coming from our side of the spectrum?” Vance also said.

The UFC Freedom 250 event featured 14 fighters from a range of countries on the White House South Lawn on June 14, the same day as Flag Day and Trump’s 80th birthday.
