In this segment, Asra Nomani, a senior editor at Fox News Digital, discusses the recent protests and riots in Paris. She sheds light on how these demonstrations, often mislabeled as student protests, are being exploited by various ideological groups for broader objectives. Nomani identifies several organizations involved, noting that only a fraction are student-led, with the majority being communist, socialist, and far-left political groups. These entities are using legitimate grievances as a cover to incite chaos and revolution. The discussion delves into the symbolism observed during these protests, including the presence of the hammer and sickle alongside Palestinian flags, indicating an alignment with anti-Israel and communist ideologies. Nomani highlights the deliberate targeting of Western symbols and the strategic use of propaganda, referencing figures like Nebel Roy Sengnam, who funds global networks with a communist agenda. Further, the conversation touches on the financial backing behind these movements, with Nomani mentioning significant funding from U.S. nonprofits and European communist groups. She also discusses the role of diaspora communities in Europe and their involvement in the unrest, drawing parallels to similar coalitions forming in the United States. The segment concludes by questioning whether the U.S. could face similar unrest, considering the ideological and demographic factors at play.

Hansen warns that without decisive action, these groups could establish a new caliphate in Europe, with potential consequences for the United States.

The Justice Department has filed a federal lawsuit against California over concerns of voter integrity. The federal government provided California with a list of 20,000 names of individuals registered to vote who may not be U.S. citizens. Despite this, California has refused to verify the citizenship status of these individuals before sending them mail-in ballots. This has led to potential non-citizens receiving ballots, raising concerns about the security and legitimacy of the electoral process. Election integrity expert Hans von Spakovsky joins the discussion to break down the legal implications and the challenges of ensuring that only eligible voters participate in elections. The conversation highlights the complexities and stakes involved in maintaining a fair and lawful voting system.

Russian President Vladimir Putin is proposing a three-way summit with President Donald Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping to discuss a potential agreement to end the ongoing conflict in Ukraine. The proposed meeting would bring together the leaders of Russia, the United States and China as diplomatic efforts continue to find a resolution to the fighting. However, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky would apparently be excluded from the discussions, raising questions about Ukraine's role in negotiations concerning its own future. President Trump has reportedly not agreed to participate in the summit, and no meeting has been formally announced. The proposal comes as the Trump administration continues efforts to negotiate an end to the conflict between Russia and Ukraine. Trump has repeatedly emphasized his desire to reach a peace agreement, arguing that diplomatic negotiations are necessary to bring an end to the fighting. China has maintained diplomatic relations with Moscow throughout the conflict and has previously expressed support for a negotiated settlement. A meeting involving Trump, Putin and Xi would place three major world powers at the center of discussions over Ukraine, although it remains unclear what specific proposals would be considered. The apparent exclusion of Zelensky could become a significant point of contention, as Ukrainian officials have consistently maintained that decisions about the country's territory and sovereignty must involve Ukraine. It is also unclear whether Washington or Beijing has formally responded to Putin's suggestion. For now, the proposed summit remains an idea rather than a confirmed diplomatic meeting, with no announced date, location or agreement among the three leaders to participate.

President Donald Trump is defending his decision to waive a series of congressionally approved sanctions on Russia, arguing that maintaining diplomatic relations with Moscow is necessary to advance negotiations aimed at ending the conflict in Ukraine. In a social media post Sunday, Trump said he does not want to drive Russia away from the negotiating table as his administration works toward a potential peace agreement. The president claimed significant progress is being made in discussions involving Russia and Ukraine, although he did not provide specific details about the negotiations or any potential agreement. Trump also criticized Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, accusing him of resisting efforts to end the conflict. According to Trump, Zelensky does not want to reach a peace agreement and "probably never did." The president's remarks reflect his growing frustration with Ukraine's leadership as his administration continues efforts to negotiate an end to the fighting. Trump said his decision to waive the sanctions was in the national interests of the United States, suggesting that additional economic pressure on Moscow could undermine ongoing diplomatic efforts. The sanctions were previously approved by Congress as part of measures intended to pressure Russia over its actions in Ukraine.

President Donald Trump has endorsed Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu for reelection, offering his support just over a week before Israeli voters head to the polls. In a social media post Sunday, Trump praised Netanyahu's leadership, calling him "strong, brave, and brilliant in the face of tremendous opposition." The president also highlighted Netanyahu's leadership in confronting Iran, signaling his continued support for the Israeli prime minister despite disagreements between the two leaders over the past year. The endorsement comes as Netanyahu campaigns to remain in power amid ongoing regional tensions and political challenges at home. Trump and Netanyahu have maintained a close political relationship, particularly on issues involving Iran and Israel's national security. However, that relationship has faced challenges in recent months. Tensions have emerged over Israeli military operations in Lebanon and Gaza, including actions that have complicated diplomatic efforts led by the Trump administration. Some Israeli military strikes have reportedly frustrated Trump, who has sought to advance negotiations and reduce hostilities across the region. Despite those disagreements, Trump's endorsement indicates that he continues to support Netanyahu's leadership as Israel prepares for its upcoming election. Netanyahu has emphasized national security and Israel's response to regional threats throughout his political career, while facing criticism from political opponents over his handling of military operations and diplomatic relations. The Israeli election will determine the makeup of the country's parliament, the Knesset, and which political parties are positioned to form the next government. Unlike the United States, Israeli voters elect members of parliament rather than directly voting for prime minister. The leader who can assemble a governing coalition typically becomes prime minister. Trump's endorsement comes at a critical point in the campaign, with Israeli voters preparing to decide the country's political direction amid continuing security concerns and regional uncertainty.

Newly unsealed federal records are raising questions about whether O.J. Simpson received help disposing of evidence following the 1994 murders of his ex-wife, Nicole Brown Simpson, and her friend Ronald Goldman. According to an investigation published Sunday by The New York Times, Joseph “Joey” Ippolito, a convicted drug trafficker with ties to organized crime, may have possessed information about the missing murder weapon and potentially helped Simpson dispose of evidence. Ippolito, who died in 2006, was reportedly connected to Simpson through his longtime friend Al Cowlings. The Times interviewed Ippolito's brother, Sam, who initially claimed Joseph returned to their Los Angeles apartment on the night of the murders with what appeared to be blood on his hands. Sam told the newspaper that his brother had gone out earlier that evening to help a friend. When Joseph returned, he allegedly placed his clothing into a bag containing a heavy object and instructed Sam to dispose of it. Sam claimed he threw the bag into a dumpster near a construction site along Doheny Drive. However, the contents of the bag were never confirmed, and investigators have never recovered the murder weapon. The investigation also examined previously sealed federal records indicating that Joseph Ippolito became a government informant after his arrest in 1995. According to the records, Ippolito provided federal authorities with information about Simpson's alleged disposal of the murder weapon. That information was shared with Los Angeles prosecutors as Simpson's criminal trial was nearing its conclusion, but Ippolito was never called to testify. A federal prosecution memorandum from 1996 described Ippolito as a valuable source of information. However, a former federal prosecutor who worked with him told the Times he did not believe Ippolito participated in the killings. The allegations have also faced questions about their credibility. Sam Ippolito reportedly sought payment from the Times and later attempted to retract his account after the newspaper declined, saying he could no longer distinguish his memories from confusion. Friends and relatives of Joseph Ippolito have also disputed suggestions that he was involved in the murders. Simpson was acquitted of criminal charges in the deaths of Brown Simpson and Goldman in October 1995. A civil jury later found him liable for their deaths in 1997.

A Kansas woman who drove a pickup truck onto a youth soccer field, killing a six-year-old boy and a 35-year-old man, has been released from police custody as investigators continue working to determine what caused the crash. The incident happened Saturday afternoon at the Stryker Sports Complex in Wichita, Kansas, where families had gathered for youth soccer games. Wichita police identified the victims as six-year-old Cole Adrian and 35-year-old Nicholas Schafer, both of McPherson, Kansas. The two were not related and were pronounced dead at the scene. According to investigators, a 34-year-old woman was driving a Chevrolet pickup truck that had been parked near the soccer fields before it drove onto one of the fields, striking several children and adults. Ten people were injured in the crash and transported to local hospitals. Five of those injured were children between the ages of five and nine. Police described their injuries as noncritical. An additional 61-year-old woman was hospitalized after experiencing medical complications unrelated to traumatic injuries, bringing the total number of people transported to hospitals to 11. Authorities said two of the driver's children were inside the pickup at the time of the crash. Another of her children was participating in a soccer game on a different field at the complex. The driver was initially taken into custody but was released following interviews with more than 30 witnesses and consultation with the Sedgwick County District Attorney's Office. Police said the woman's release comes as investigators await toxicology testing and a mechanical examination of the vehicle. No charges have been filed, and her identity has not been publicly released. Investigators have not determined what caused the truck to enter the soccer field or whether the driver's actions were intentional. Wichita Police Chief Joe Sullivan expressed condolences to the victims' families and others affected by the crash. "What should have been a day of children playing soccer and families spending time together ended in tragedy," Sullivan said. Police also thanked community members who rushed to help the victims before emergency crews arrived. The investigation remains active. Authorities are asking anyone with information about the crash to contact the Wichita Police Department.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) is sending federal assistance to Pennsylvania as the state responds to what officials describe as the largest measles outbreak in the country. According to the CDC, a specialist from its Epidemic Intelligence Service, commonly known as a "disease detective," will assist state health officials with the ongoing outbreak. Pennsylvania health officials have reported more than 1,200 confirmed measles cases and six measles-associated deaths in their latest update. The federal deployment comes as public health officials work to track infections, identify possible exposures and limit further transmission. The CDC's Epidemic Intelligence Service is a specialized program that trains public health professionals to investigate disease outbreaks and other health emergencies. Its officers work with state and local agencies to identify sources of infection and recommend measures to control outbreaks. Measles is a highly contagious airborne viral illness that can spread when an infected person breathes, coughs or sneezes. The virus can remain infectious in the air for up to two hours after an infected person leaves an area. Common symptoms include a high fever, cough, runny nose, red eyes and a rash. In some cases, measles can lead to serious complications, including pneumonia and brain inflammation. Young children, pregnant women and people with weakened immune systems face an increased risk of severe complications. Health officials say vaccination remains the most effective way to prevent measles. The CDC recommends two doses of the measles, mumps and rubella (MMR) vaccine, which are approximately 97% effective at preventing infection. The federal assistance is expected to support Pennsylvania's ongoing investigation and response as officials work to contain the outbreak. State and federal health authorities continue to encourage residents to review their vaccination status and contact a healthcare provider if they believe they have been exposed to measles.

A tragic shooting occurred at Silver Rail Elementary School in Bend, Oregon, resulting in the deaths of three children aged 5, 8, and 11, and a teacher. Two others were critically injured. The suspect, a 16-year-old male who previously attended the school but was not currently enrolled, approached the school grounds, climbed over a fence, and entered a classroom where he fired approximately 15 rounds. A teacher bravely confronted the suspect and likely prevented further harm by tackling him and attempting to disarm him. The suspect was shot and killed by a bystander, Caleb Giamanco, a 36-year-old resident with two daughters at the school. The quick response by law enforcement, arriving within three minutes of the first 911 call, helped to mitigate the situation. The governor of Oregon commended Giamonko for his heroic actions. It is noteworthy that the school district does not allow teachers to carry weapons, classifying it as a gun-free zone.
