Sen. John Fetterman (D-PA) warned during an interview this week that the large influx of illegal aliens pouring into the U.S. every month was threatening the “American dream.” Fetterman made the remarks during a CNN interview on Friday where he challenged the political Left’s stances on Israel and the border. “I saw a poll that indicated you have very high approval among Democratic voters in Pennsylvania‚” host Jake Tapper said. “And this information came along with a tag that #TwitterIsNotRealLife‚ because obviously a lot of progressives on Twitter have been attacking you for your position on Israel‚ for noting that‚ in your opinion‚ saying that there is a crisis at the border does not make one xenophobic.” “Why do you think you’ve been so criticized by so many progressives?” he asked. “I honestly don’t understand‚” Fetterman responded. “I don’t understand why it’s controversial to anybody to decide that you’re going to stand with Israel in this situation. I honestly don’t understand why it’s controversial to say we need to secure [the] border. I’ve been very clear. In fact‚ that was weaponized against me as Republicans in my race that I’m very much a strong supporter of immigration‚ and my wife’s family [are immigrants].” “And I think two things can be true at the same time — you can be very supportive of immigration‚ but we also need to have a secure border‚” he continued. “And I really — I think about immigration is we want to provide the American dream for any migrant‚ but it seems very difficult when you have 300‚000 people showing up‚ encountered … to do that. And I think we need to reset and we have to work together and develop a new comprehensive solution to that.” CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILYWIRE+ APP WATCH: Fetterman on CNN on criticism from progressives: "I honestly don't understand.

President Joe Biden’s administration is reportedly planning to increase its military campaign against the Iranian-backed Houthi terrorists in Yemen after the first few rounds of airstrikes have failed to deter attacks from the group. The terrorist group has vowed that it will continue to attack ships in and around the Arabian peninsula in response to Israel hunting down the Hamas terrorists who were responsible for murdering 1‚200 Israelis on October 7. The Houthis have launched dozens of attacks against merchant vessels in and around the Red Sea over the last couple of months‚ including hijacking at least one major Israeli-linked cargo ship. Thousands of ships have been impacted by the Houthis’ acts of terrorism and have had to find significantly longer routes to reach their destinations. The Washington Post reported that the administration’s strategy was to “erode the Houthis’ high-level military capability enough to curtail their ability to target shipping in the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden or‚ at a minimum‚ to provide a sufficient deterrent so that risk-averse shipping companies will resume sending vessels through the region’s waterways.” U.S. officials told the newspaper that while they do not anticipate that the U.S. campaign against the Houthis will be a lengthy engagement‚ they also don’t know how long it will take to completely degrade their ability to launch anti-ship ballistic missiles. CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILYWIRE+ APP “We’re not trying to defeat the Houthis. There’s no appetite for invading Yemen‚” a U.S. diplomat told the Post. “The appetite is to degrade their ability to launch these kind of attacks going forward‚ and that involves hitting the infrastructure that enables these kind of attacks‚ and targeting their higher-level capabilities.” Officials said that the U.S. and British military strikes in the country had “significantly degrad[ed]” the Houthis’ military assets‚ but there were still some weapons that the coalition forces had to find and destroy. “It’s impossible to forecast exactly what’s going to happen‚ and certainly not [to predict] future operations‚” a senior U.S. official said. “But the principle that it simply can’t be tolerated for a terrorist organization … with these advanced capabilities to essentially shut down or control shipping through a key international choke point is one that we feel very strongly about.”

California Governor Gavin Newsom suggested during an interview this week that California’s law requiring gender-neutral toy departments was something that his political opponents were weaponizing. Newsom made the remarks during a Friday interview with Bill Maher on HBO’s “Real Time” while talking about the numerous regulations that the state has‚ which are often criticized. “I think we have way too many regulations and laws‚” Maher said. “And this one‚ I think‚ says‚ if you’re a department store with over 500 employees‚ you have to have a gender-neutral toy department.” “That’s an interesting one because the department stores came to us supporting that and they were the ones making a case for that‚” Newsom claimed in response. “They were making us — they were already moving in that direction.” “They wanted you to make a law about them?” Maher asked. Newsom responded by saying that the department stores wanted the legislation and claimed that his office did not initiate it. “It wasn’t legislation that was initiated from my office‚ but it was legislation that came up with interesting support from the industry itself‚” he claimed. “But I understand how that’s exploited and good people can disagree‚ but that’s not something we woke up and said this is a top priority for the state‚ when we know the top priorities are homelessness‚ housing‚ the issues of crime‚ quality of life‚ and issues related to regulation and taxes‚ which are all top of mind. But I get how those things are weaponized.” CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILYWIRE+ APP
