'White couple' not the only ones hurt in Cincinnati attack? Claims of a third person surface
Violence broke out in downtown Cincinnati, amid the ongoing Cincinnati Music Festival, formerly known as the Cincinnati Jazz Fest, with videos showing a group beating a man and a woman. The incident in Cincinnati, where the man and woman were beaten, took place at the intersection of West Fourth Street and Elm Street. Image for representation(Pexels) While police have taken cognizance of the clips and said they are investigating the matter, which left two people injured, now a new video appears to show that there was a third victim. The incident, where the man and woman were beaten, took place at the intersection of West Fourth Street and Elm Street. What does the new video show? The new video, shared by Charlie Kirk – co founder of Turning Point USA – shows a man on the streets of what he claims to be Cincinnati. This man is attacked from behind by what appears to be another Black person. He is hit in the face and goes to ground immediately. He is then dragged by his legs and dropped in front of a vehicle on the road. The man then manages to get back on his feet. Sharing the video, Kirk, who is a conservative political activist, said 'I sure hope the police are in the process of arresting all of these criminals so the DA can throw the book at each and every one of them.' Again, the video does not show the events leading up to the altercation, and it remains unclear if this man is related to the other two white people who were on the receiving end of violence. What authorities said about the attack Speaking about the clips where the couple were shown getting beaten, Cincinnati police chief Terri Theetge told WLWT that the incident was in no way related to the music festival. Further, the police chief noted that a verbal altercation had broken out among some of the individuals seen on the video, which eventually escalated to outright violence. 'I am in complete disgust waking up to the viral video many of you have now seen. The behavior displayed is nothing short of cruel and absolutely unacceptable. Our investigative team is working diligently to identify every individual involved in causing harm,' the top cop said.

Trump ally Banks endorses Nate Morris in Kentucky Senate race
Sen. Jim Banks (R-Ind.) on Thursday endorsed businessowner Nate Morris in the race to replace retiring Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.), giving Morris the support of another figure with close ties to President Trump. In an exclusive statement to The Hill, Banks praised Morris as the 'America First' candidate in the race who would back Trump's agenda. 'Nate understands, just like I do, that America is the greatest country in the world and always worth fighting for,' Banks said. 'Nate is the America First fighter we need in the Senate. President Trump needs more allies in the Senate, and Nate Morris will never let him or Kentucky down. This is no time for squishy Republicans.' Banks is the first senator to endorse Morris in the race. The Indiana lawmaker is a close ally of both Trump and Vice President Vance; he was the first member of the House to back Vance in his Senate primary in Ohio in 2021. 'I'm incredibly honored to have the support of one of President Trump's most staunch allies and one of the fiercest opponents of amnesty in the U.S. Senate,' Morris said of Banks's endorsement in a statement to The Hill. Morris has steadily been building support among prominent conservatives aligned with Trump, which could be key in a crowded primary race. The business executive announced his Senate bid on Donald Trump Jr.'s podcast last month, and he has already scored an endorsement from Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk, a staunch ally of the president. Morris, who founded a waste and recycling business, earlier this month announced a seven-figure ad campaign targeting McConnell and other Republicans who have launched campaigns to replace the outgoing senator. Those who have declared their candidacy in the Republican primary field include Morris, Rep. Andy Barr (R-Ky.), former Kentucky Attorney General Daniel Cameron and businessowner Michael Faris. McConnell announced in February that he would not seek reelection in 2026. He has served in the Senate since 1985, including 18 years as leader of the Senate GOP conference. The nonpartisan Cook Political Report rates the Kentucky Senate race as 'solid Republican' in the 2026 race, meaning it is extremely unlikely to flip. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc.

Charlie Kirk confident conservatives are winning over young Americans after watching Dems' Gen Z summit
Turning Point USA founder and president Charlie Kirk lambasted Democrats' Gen Z summit held on Friday, questioning the apparent lack of patriotism at the event while guest co-hosting "Fox & Friends Weekend" on Saturday. "Fox & Friends" co-host Charlie Hurt pointed out that compared to Kirk's annual Turning Point USA (TPUSA) summit aimed at young conservatives in high school and college, Voters of Tomorrow's Fight for Our Future Summit seemed to lack the authenticity that Kirk and his organization bring to the table. "Well, also, you look at all the b-roll there from the Democrat event — where's the patriotism?" Kirk said. "Where's the American flag? Where's the Americana?" The co-hosts discussed a recently released poll from Pew Research Center that showed 52% of men between ages 18 and 29 lean toward the Republican Party, compared to 34% for Democrats. When asked by co-host Rachel Campos-Duffy what these numbers signal to him, the TPUSA founder laid out his case for why Gen Z men are resonating with the Republican Party. "This tells me that there's finally a pushback and a rebellion against everything that has happened culturally over the last five years," he said. "I mean, you think of — we had the lockdowns, but the other part of the COVID mess was all the wokeism that was just force-fed to our nation's youth. You can see a big split amongst Generation Z, and I think this is a very important point." Kirk added: "There is nothing less masculine than saying you have to sit home all day and not be able to leave your house, and you have to just stare at a screen," and made the point that the entire "COVID mess" led young men to seek out more masculine voices, such as podcasters Joe Rogan and Theo Von. Earlier in the show, Kirk mocked Democrats' decision to have former DNC Vice Chair David Hogg speak at the event, jokingly referring to Hogg as the "American symbol of masculinity." Later on Saturday, Democratic attorney and strategist Julian Epstein warned that the summit only reinforced that the party has a slew of problems and "no clear plan." "Voters don't like the sound of the Democrats. It's the forever grievance, forever obstructionist party," he told "Fox News Live," arguing that most voters don't like "woke" politics or the party's socialist-style economic policies.
