Description
Aaron McIntire covers President Trump's Corpus Christi rally for Ken Paxton, where Alexis Nungaray, mother of 12-year-old Jocelyn Nungaray, spoke about her daughter's 2024 killing by two Venezuelan men who entered the country illegally, and Trump's claims that Democrats cheat in elections. He covers Brazilian Senator Flávio Bolsonaro reportedly leaving for the United States two days after losing the runoff to Lula, despite a Supreme Court order to surrender his passports in a money-laundering probe, as the State Department says it will issue visas to him and his family. Aaron also covers U.S. Ambassador to the UN Mike Waltz's shouting match with Cuba's foreign minister during a General Assembly embargo debate, and former FBI Director James Comey's response to a third federal case over alleged leaks to the New York Times. He plays House Speaker Mike Johnson urging Christians not to sit out the midterms, and Florida Democratic Senate nominee Angie Nixon's answer on whether Cuba is a dictatorship, which drew criticism from Republicans and some Democrats after CBS deleted and corrected its initial post about it. Aaron breaks down Israel's election exit polls showing neither Benjamin Netanyahu's bloc nor Gadi Eisenkot's reaching 61 seats, and Pakistan's Supreme Court upholding the death sentence of Christian Qaiser Ayub in a blasphemy case while acquitting his brother. He closes with DHS General Counsel James Percival's pushback on a 60 Minutes question about law-abiding immigrants and his argument against sitting out the election.
