Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy says New York routinely issues commercial driver's licenses to immigrants that may be valid long after they're legally authorized to be in the country and he threatened to withhold $73 million in highway funds unless the system is fixed. State officials said they are following all federal rules. New York is the latest Democratic state Duffy has targeted in his effort to make sure truck and bus drivers are qualified to get licenses that he launched after a truck driver who wasn't authorized to be in the U.S. made an illegal U-turn and caused a crash in Florida that killed three people. Duffy says investigators found that more than half of the 200 licenses they reviewed in New York were issued improperly.
President Donald Trump says Thai and Cambodian leaders have agreed to renew a truce after days of deadly clashes had threatened to undo a ceasefire the U.S. administration had helped broker earlier this year. Trump announced the agreement to restart the ceasefire in a social media posting on Friday following calls with Thai Prime Minister Anutin Charnvirakul and Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Manet. The original ceasefire in July was brokered by Malaysia and pushed through by pressure from Trump, who threatened to withhold trade privileges unless Thailand and Cambodia agreed. Despite the deal, the two countries carried on a bitter propaganda war and minor cross-border violence continued.
Josh Hammer unpacks the decades-long rise of Communist China and explains why President Trump cannot now go wobbly when it comes to confronting and containing this preeminent civilizational foe. On the contrary, it must be all hands on deck for the United States to prevail in the China challenge. Beijing cannot be appeased—it must be defeated in every way other than the actual military battlefield itself.
Josh also blasts Indiana Republicans for their failed redistricting effort, explains the latest twists and turns in the roiling Somali fraud scandal, unpacks why the terrorist Syrian leadership still cannot be trusted, and more. The episode ends, as always on Friday, with the signature end-of-week "Hammertime" segment.
Republicans are accusing Democrats who released photos from Jeffrey Epstein's estate of “cherry-picking photos" to create a false narrative about President Donald Trump. Republicans say nothing in the documents the House Oversight Committee has received shows “any wrongdoing” by Trump. House Democrats on Friday released photos including some of Trump, Bill Clinton and the former Prince Andrew. The 19 photos are a small part of more than 95,000 they received from the estate of Epstein, who died in a New York jail cell in 2019 while awaiting sex trafficking charges. The photos were released without captions or context and include a black-and-white image of Trump alongside six women whose faces are blacked out.
Days of torrential rain in Washington state has caused historic floods, stranding families on rooftops and washing over bridges. National Guard troops went door-to-door early Friday to evacuate a farming city north of Seattle. Washington is under a state of emergency, with Gov. Bob Ferguson warning that as many as 100,000 people would need to evacuate statewide. The floods have closed roads and caused landslides. Amtrak has suspended trains between Seattle and Vancouver, British Columbia. Authorities have rescued people from cars and homes. Another storm system is expected to bring more rain starting Sunday.
You may have seen parts of Pastor Greg Laurie’s moving testimony in the movie Jesus Revolution, but never like this. On today’s episode of The Greg Laurie Show, Pastor Greg takes us on an unfiltered, inspiring journey through his tumultuous upbringing—a story marked by instability, loneliness, and the relentless pursuit of hope.
Born into a world of broken relationships, absent fathers, and a longing for family, Pastor Greg shares how his early years were shaped by a mother struggling with addiction and a parade of stepfathers. From military school mischief and lonely nights speaking to “Mr. Nobody” under a blanket to the comfort of his grandparents’ Southern kitchen, Pastor Greg discovered the hand of God—revealing to him how moments of pain ultimately became pathways to purpose. Throughout the episode, Pastor Greg invites each of us to reflect not just on his journey, but also on our own—reminding us that no matter how difficult our beginnings, God can use every chapter for something greater.
Democrat Lawfare against Judge Jim Troupis
With Judge Jim Troupis, former Wisconsin Judge and seasoned Constitutional Attorney appointed by Gov. Scott Walker.
Closing arguments are expected Friday in the murder trial of Brian Walshe, who is accused in the disappearance of his wife, Ana Walshe.
Prosecutors told jurors that Walshe conducted online searches about how to dispose of a body and purchased cleaning supplies the same day his wife was last seen. Surveillance footage also reportedly showed him visiting pharmacies and hardware stores, while investigators later recovered tools, clothing, and personal items linked to Ana from a trash processing facility.
Walshe faces first-degree murder charges and has previously pleaded guilty to misleading police and improper disposal of a body.
A federal appeals court has blocked the immediate release of hundreds of immigrants detained during a recent Chicago-area immigration crackdown, while allowing the extension of a consent decree that regulates how U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) can make warrantless arrests.
The 7th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals said a district judge overstepped by ordering a blanket release of detainees without reviewing individual cases. About 450 immigrants remain in custody.
The ruling also upheld key restrictions on ICE, including requirements that the agency provide documentation for each arrest, ensuring the consent decree continues to govern enforcement procedures.
President Donald Trump has signed an executive order preventing states from enacting their own rules for artificial intelligence, saying a unified national approach is necessary to keep the U.S. competitive with China.
The order directs the federal government to review state AI regulations it deems “problematic” and authorizes the Attorney General to challenge them in court. States that implement conflicting AI laws could also risk losing access to federal broadband funding, according to the administration.
Some states have already passed AI regulations aimed at increasing transparency and limiting data collection. The White House says the order ensures innovation can continue without a patchwork of state-by-state rules.
In this highlight, Professor Jeffrey Lax delivers one of the most personal and emotional moments ever shared on The Erin Molan Show.
Responding to Erin’s question about the political climate in New York, Lax draws parallels between what he’s seeing today — ideological alliances, social pressure, infrastructure disruptions, and rising hostility — and the stories passed down from his grandmother, a Holocaust survivor.
What shakes him most is not dramatic violence, but the soft complacency that allowed dangerous ideas to become normalized in pre-war Europe — and the casual way his grandmother remembered it happening.
Erin and Jeffrey explore:
• Why subtle shifts in culture are the hardest to recognize
• How “casual” changes become warning signs in hindsight
• The emotional weight of generational memory
• What Lax says is the first moment in his life he has felt real fear for America
• Why he believes this moment affects everyone, not just one community
This conversation is less about politics and more about history, identity, and the responsibility to recognize patterns before they become irreversible.
