Description
Aaron McIntire covers President Trump's Michigan rally for Mike Rogers, where he attacked Democratic Senate nominee Abdul El-Sayed, who denies claims of Muslim Brotherhood ties, and a viral Oval Office exchange in which Trump snapped at reporter Andrew Feinberg over a golf course question. He breaks down the Pentagon's FORTRESS initiative requiring major U.S. military bases to sustain essential operations for 90 days without outside power or supplies, a planned requirement rather than a forecast of a nationwide blackout. Aaron also covers the full Fifth Circuit's 10 to 7 ruling that immigrants who entered without inspection have no constitutional right to bond hearings while detained, ahead of a related Supreme Court case. He covers Rep. Ilhan Omar's first TV interview since the search of her home, where she said "not to my knowledge" when asked if she is related to her former husband, and a New York Post report on her sister's 1997 marriage certificate listing the surname Elmi, which does not establish whether the two are related. Aaron plays former President Barack Obama's Detroit rally pitch for El-Sayed, the Coast Guard rescue swimmer who saved 16 people from a capsized boat off Baja California where 11 others were never found, and a tally of 64 bear attacks across North America this year.
