Rep. Wesley Hunt: President Trump Realizes That We Need To Box Iran Out
Texas Republican Congressman Wesley Hunt joins Fox Across America With Jimmy Failla to talk about how President Trump's visit to the Middle East is a critical part of his administration's plan to achieve peace and stability in the region.
'He is finding common themes amongst culture. People love their families. People want to feel safe. People want economic prosperity. And if we can achieve that, it cuts across all cultural lines. And that is why we're going to see a resurgence again of Abraham Accords 2.0 that's going to be focused on everyone getting paid so we can stop fighting. If we're focused on commerce and if we're focus on growing our economies and having a cultural revolution where people are happier, they're living better, they have more money in their pockets, they are making money together, then people don't have time to focus on fighting. But the biggest issue in that region is Iran. We have got to box Iran out. This is a country that said if they got a nuclear weapon, they would use it against Israel and all of her allies. They are on record for saying that. And when President Trump was president the first time, he boxed them out because they couldn't afford terror. Then, meanwhile, you have the Biden administration, the Obama administration, handing them pallets of cash. And then what happens? Israel gets attacked. So President Trump is acutely aware as to what's going on and how do we strengthen these allies while ostracizing Iran and then making everyone strong again, like he did the first time during the Abraham Accords, and that's his mission.'
Jimmy and Rep. Hunt also share their thoughts on why the Democratic Party is still in an alarming state of disarray. Listen to the podcast to hear what else they discussed!

Google Issues Emergency Update For All 3 Billion Chrome Users
Update all browsers now. Google has suddenly released an emergency Chrome update, warning that a vulnerability discovered by its Threat Analysis Group has been used in attacks. Such is the severity of the risk, that Google also confirmed that ahead of this update, The issue 'was mitigated on 2025-05-28 by a configuration change' pushed out to all platforms. Google says it 'is aware that an exploit for CVE-2025-5419 exists in the wild,' and that full access to details on the vulnerability will 'be be kept restricted until a majority of users are updated with a fix. We will also retain restrictions if the bug exists in a third party library that other projects similarly depend on, but haven't yet fixed.' CVE-2025-5419 is an out of bounds read and write in V8, the type of dangerous memory flaw typically found and fixed on the world's most popular browser. While it's only marked as high-severity, the fact attacks are underway means apply the fix is critical. There is already a U.S. government mandate for federal staff to update Chrome by Thursday or stop using the browser, after a separate attack warning. And there has been another high-severity fix since then, with two separate fixes. It is inevitable that this latest warning and update will also prompt CISA to issue a 21-day update mandate. There is a second fix included in this emergency update — CVE-2025-5068 is another memory issue, a 'use after free in Blink,' that was disclosed by an external researcher. NIST warns that CVE-2025-5419 'allows a remote attacker to potentially exploit heap corruption via a crafted HTML page,' and that it applies across Chromium, suggesting other browsers will also issue emergency patches. As usual, you should a flag on your browser that see the update has downloaded. You need to restart Chrome to ensure it takes full effect. All your normal tabs will then reopen — unless you elect not to do that. But your Incognito tabs will not reopen, so make sure you save any work or copy down any URLs you want to revisit.

Suspect planned to kill all in group he called 'Zionist,' but appeared to have second thoughts
BOULDER, Colo. (AP) — A man in Boulder disguised as a gardener who wounded 12 people in an attack on a group holding their weekly demonstration for the release of Israeli hostages in Gaza had planned to kill them all but appeared to have second thoughts, according to authorities. Mohamed Sabry Soliman had 18 Molotov cocktails but threw just two during Sunday's attack in which he yelled 'Free Palestine,' police said. He didn't carry out his full plan 'because he got scared and had never hurt anyone before,' police wrote in an affidavit. The two incendiary devices he did throw into the group of about 20 people were enough to wound more than half of them, and authorities said he expressed no regrets about the attack. The 45-year-old Soliman — whose first name also was spelled Mohammed in some court documents — planned the attack for more than a year and specifically targeted what he described as a 'Zionist group,' authorities said in court papers charging him with a federal hate crime. 'When he was interviewed about the attack, he said he wanted them all to die, he had no regrets and he would go back and do it again,' Acting U.S. Attorney J. Bishop Grewell for the District of Colorado said during a news conference Monday. Federal and state prosecutors filed separate criminal cases against Soliman, charging him with a hate crime and attempted murder, respectively. He faces additional state charges related to the incendiary devices, and more charges are possible in federal court, where the Justice Department will seek a grand jury indictment. Soliman is being held on a $10 million, cash-only bond, prosecutors said. His next court hearing is set for Thursday. An FBI affidavit says Soliman told the police he was driven by a desire 'to kill all Zionist people,' a reference to the movement to establish and protect a Jewish state in Israel. Soliman's attorney, public defender Kathryn Herold, declined to comment after the hearing. Soliman was living in the U.S. illegally after entering the country in August 2022 on a B2 visa that expired in February 2023, Department of Homeland Security Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin said in a post on the social platform X. The burst of violence at the popular Pearl Street pedestrian mall in downtown Boulder unfolded against the backdrop of the Israel-Hamas war , which continues to inflame global tensions and has contributed to a spike in antisemitic violence in the United States. The attack happened on the beginning of the Jewish holiday of Shavuot and barely a week after a man who also yelled 'Free Palestine' was charged with fatally shooting two Israeli Embassy staffers outside a Jewish museum in Washington. Six victims hospitalized The victims who were wounded range in age from 52 to 88, and the injuries spanned from serious to minor, officials said. Six of the injured were taken to hospitals, and four have since been released, said Miri Kornfeld, a Denver-based organizer connected to the group. She said the clothing of one of those who remains hospitalized caught on fire. Members of the volunteer group called Run For Their Lives were holding their weekly demonstration when the attack happened. Video from the scene captured by witness Alex Osante of San Diego shows people pouring water on a woman lying on the ground who Osante said had caught fire during the attack. Molotov cocktails found Osante said that after the suspect threw the two incendiary devices, apparently catching himself on fire as he threw the second, he took off his shirt and what appeared to be a bulletproof vest before police arrived. The man dropped to the ground and was arrested without any apparent resistance in the video Osante filmed. The Molotov cocktails were made up of glass wine carafe bottles or jars with clear liquid and red rags hanging out of the them, the FBI said. 'He stated that he had been planning the attack for a year and was waiting until after his daughter graduated to conduct the attack,' the affidavit says. He had gas in a backpack sprayer but told investigators he didn't spray it on anyone but himself 'because he had planned on dying.' Soliman also told investigators he took a concealed carry class and tried to buy a gun but was denied because he is not a legal U.S. citizen. Suspect hospitalized after attack Authorities said they believe Soliman acted alone. He was also injured and taken to a hospital. Authorities did not elaborate on the nature of his injuries, but a booking photo showed him with a large bandage over one ear. Soliman, who was born in Egypt, moved three years ago to Colorado Springs, where he lived with his wife and five kids, according to state court documents. He previously spent 17 years living in Kuwait. McLaughlin said Soliman filed for asylum in September 2022 and was granted a work authorization in March 2023 that had expired. DHS did not respond to requests for additional information. ___ Tucker reported from Washington.

GOP lawmaker links Colorado ‘sanctuary state' policy to Boulder attack
Rep. Gabe Evans (R-Colo.) on Monday linked what he called 'sanctuary state' policy in his state to the recent attack in Boulder. During an interview on NewsNation's 'The Hill,' a clip was shown from a Monday press conference on the attack in which Boulder Police Chief Stephen Redfearn said that the suspect 'was not on our radar in Boulder.' 'We don't — we had no prior contacts with him here,' he added. 'I don't and can't speak to his criminal history, I'm not sure if the special agent in charge has anything to add, but this was not someone we were aware of prior.' 'How?' NewsNation's Blake Burman questioned Evans 'Yeah. And here's why I'm frustrated, because one of the major points of the 9/11 Commission, which says, 'How do we prevent major terrorist attacks from happening in the United States again?' says that federal, state and local law enforcement have to be able to work together and share information,' Evans told Burman on 'The Hill.' 'Unfortunately, Colorado is a sanctuary state where our governor, just within the last month, signed into a law another bill that fines state and local law enforcement $50,000 if they share information with immigration and customs,' he added. 'We know this guy overstayed two visas. We know this guy is illegally present in the United States, and that makes him off limits for any information sharing between state and local law enforcement with their federal authorities. In 2019, according to Courthouse News Service, Colorado Gov. Jared Polis (D) signed a law practically barring arrests by local law enforcement for Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). Polis also recently signed a bill barring people's personal information from being given to federal immigration authorities by local governments, according to The Washington Post. Mohamed Soliman, who is alleged to be behind the recent Boulder attack, was said on Sunday by the White House to be an 'illegal alien' who overstayed his visa. 'A terror attack was committed in Boulder, Colorado by an illegal alien,' Stephen Miller, White House deputy chief of staff for policy and homeland security adviser, said previously on the social platform X. 'He was granted a tourist visa by the Biden Administration and then he illegally overstayed that visa. In response, the Biden Administration gave him a work permit. Suicidal migration must be fully reversed,' he continued. The Hill has reached out to Polis's office for comment. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
