Here's The Big Stuff You Missed Yesterday Morning

Yesterday morning, officials joined the Sunday shows to discuss the historic steps the Trump Administration is taking to ensure the safety and security of the American people — including the government-wide response to the devastating Texas flooding, unprecedented action to secure the homeland, and protecting our national security through supply chain resiliency.


Here’s what you missed:
 

Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem

  • “Within just an hour or two after the flooding, we had resources from the Department of Homeland Security there helping those individuals in Texas … This is the fastest, I believe, in years, maybe decades, that FEMA has been deployed to help individuals in this type of a situation.” Watch
     
  • “This is what I think is really unfortunate is that we have a situation where so many individuals are playing politics with what happened to Texas.” Watch
     
  • “This week, we’ve got murderers off the street, rapists, child pedophiles. If you look at that marijuana grow facility that we recently just did an operation on, over 319 individuals were brought into custody — and 14 unaccompanied children.” Watch
 

Border Czar Tom Homan

  • “If you’re in the country legally, you shouldn’t fear ICE — but what you should fear is the criminal aliens walking the communities in sanctuary cities.” Watch
     
  • “You didn’t see [Democrats] complaining about, under the Biden Administration, people being held in a Border Patrol parking lot surrounded by a fence in the sweltering heat. Not a word. You didn’t a word about half a million children being trafficked into the country and them not being able to locate 300,000 … They ignored four years of open borders, historic migrant death, historic Americans dying from fentanyl, historic numbers of women and children being sex trafficked, historic number of people on the terrorist watchlist coming across the border. Silence.” Watch
 

National Economic Council Director Kevin Hassett

  • “Tariff revenue over the next ten years — which will help reduce the deficit and secure our entitlement programs — it’s $3 trillion, and consumers haven’t seen that.” Watch
     
  • “We’re trying to put America First … This is about America getting itself ready for the Golden Age by getting our house in order, by getting our tariff and trade policy and tax policy exactly where it needs to be for a Golden Age.” Watch
     
  • “If there is a time of war, we need to have the metals that we need to produce American weapons, and copper is a key component in many American weapons. As we look forward to the threats that America faces, the President decided that we have plenty of copper in the U.S., but not enough copper production — and that’s why he has taken this strong step.” Watch

Hey, Anybody Remember THIS?


 

An Important Message From President Trump

One year ago today, at 6:11 pm—eight minutes after taking the stage on the grounds of Butler Farms to address thousands of Americans gathered at a campaign rally—rifle fire broke out, and an assassin’s bullet came within a quarter inch of ending my life and silencing our movement to restore American greatness.  Yet, by the hand of providence and the grace of Almighty God, my life was spared.  As we commemorate one year since the harrowing events of July 13, 2024, we reaffirm that the American spirit has and will always triumph over forces of evil and destruction.

Those who carry scars from that July evening defended our Republic during one of our Nation’s darkest hours—running to the injured amid chaos and uncertainty to provide comfort and lifesaving care.  Doctors and first responders rushed to help the wounded, rallygoers guided their fellow citizens to safety, and patriots raised their fists in the air in an outpouring of support and national pride.  These men and women arrived at the rally grounds as ordinary Americans, but left as heroes.  They represent the very best of our Nation, and we are forever indebted for their kindness and compassion.

However, one name stands above all for selfless service and ultimate sacrifice on that fateful day.  The world will never forget the tragic loss of Corey Comperatore, a firefighter, veteran, and devoted husband and father.  When gunfire erupted, Corey did not hesitate to protect his wife and two daughters.  He died a hero, and we are eternally grateful for his inspiring love, valor, and faithfulness.

It remains my firm conviction that God alone saved me that day for a righteous purpose: to restore our beloved Republic to greatness and to rescue our Nation from those who seek its ruin.  One year after the attempt on my life in Butler, our country is in the midst of a new Golden Age.  History will remember the would-be assassin for his cowardice and failure, but the magnificent legacy of the heroes of July 13, 2024, will forever be etched upon the heart of our Nation.  Today, we pay tribute to their spirit of love, unity, and resilience—and we proclaim with one voice the epic battle cry that has reverberated all across the world: “Fight, fight, fight!”

No, AI Can't Replace Real, Live Human Connection

From our friend, Human Connection Keynote Speaker Rob Lawless of Rob's 10K Friends, via LinkedIn:

Here are 5 reasons your investment in human connection should match your investment in AI:

1. Human connection is what gives AI its direction and meaning.
AI can answer questions, optimize workflows, and even replicate human behaviors, but it can't generate purpose the way humans can. If we’re not deeply connected to one another, we risk building tools optimized for efficiency over empathy and profit over people.

2. Isolation increases when automation rises.
As more work becomes remote and automated, there’s a real danger of loneliness and disconnection becoming the norm. Human connection buffers against mental health crises, employee disengagement, and a loss of belonging. (Think of food delivery vs. running into people in the grocery store)

3. Ethics and empathy come from connection, not code.
AI won’t stop to ask, “Is this good for society?” That’s our job. If we become too enamored with what AI can do and forget to ask what it should do, we may build systems that perpetuate bias, reinforce inequality, or dehumanize relationships. Connection keeps us anchored in our shared humanity.

4. The best innovations come from diverse, connected humans.
Breakthrough ideas come from the cross-pollination of different people sharing stories, perspectives, and experiences. AI can help us find patterns, but it’s in human connection that creativity thrives. Without it, we lose the serendipity that fuels innovation. (My whole journey is about fueling more of this serendipity)

5. Without connection, we forget why any of this matters.
What’s the point of faster machines, smarter algorithms, and infinite scalability if we’re more disconnected than ever? The danger is we build a world optimized for machines to thrive, not for humans to flourish.

At some point we're going to have to reflect on what it means to be human and why and how we should lean into that - better to figure it out sooner rather than later!

When Will New Jerseyans Wake Up To THIS?


 

By Matt Rooney, cross posted from Save Jersey:

Remember this gem from February? Right before the first GOP gubernatorial primary debate?

“Tammy [Murphy] and I were talking about – I don’t want to get into too much detail – but there is someone in our broader universe whose immigration status is not yet at the point that they are trying to get it to. And we said, you know what? Let’s have her live at our house above our garage,” Murphy told an interviewer at Montclair State University.

“And good luck to the feds coming in to try to get her,” added the Democrat governor.

Trump Border Czar Tom Homan subsequently warned Sean Hannity that he wouldn’t turn a blind eye.

“I got a note of it. I won’t let it go. We’ll look into it. If he’s knowingly harboring and concealing an illegal alien… we will seek prosecution,” said Homan.

He wasn’t kidding. Five months later, The New York Times reported on Friday night that a subpoena is out and Alina Habba’s office is investigating Murphy’s comments…

Well, It's How Many Of Us Paid Our Tuitions!


 

Nameless Donor Gives Catholic School Half Million

Saint Hubert Catholic High School for Girls in the Tacony section of Philadelphia is proud to announce a generous $500,000 commitment from an anonymous donor. This transformative gift will support the expansion of the school’s College and Career Counseling and Development Office, providing funding for new salaried positions over the next three years.

The donor has expressed a desire to make a meaningful impact on students’ college and career pathways. The gift builds on the momentum of the school’s “Healthcare Careers in 1-2-3” program, which has seen outstanding growth and impact, as well as an impressive $39 million in scholarships awarded annually to students.

Along with the upcoming launch of the Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) program in partnership with Holy Family University, this investment will help ensure students have additional resources to pursue their post-secondary goals. The funding will also support the addition of an Assistant Director of Advancement to strengthen the school’s Development Office and contribute to Saint Hubert’s continued growth.

Dr. Lizanne Pando, President of Saint Hubert Catholic High School for Girls, expressed her gratitude and excitement, “Saint Hubert is experiencing remarkable growth in both enrollment and donor engagement, thanks to our devoted donors and hardworking development team.”

“We are building something special together,” Pando continued, “for every Bambie who dreams of a bright future. With over 30,000 alumnae strong, we are a village lifting up young women of faith and integrity—and we will continue to rise together.”

This gift is part of the school’s “Educating Tomorrow’s Leaders TODAY!” campaign, which has raised over $5 million to date, including several historic contributions. The campaign has already resulted in the creation of the Connelly Arts and Design Center and is currently funding the construction of the Susan Muller Anderson ′68 Performing Arts Center.
