Video shows Marine veteran wrestle armed teen to ground after alleged robbery attempt
"I was fearing for my life," Jheyco Borda said.
Surveillance video captured the moments the Marine veteran fought off a group of teens who allegedly approached him, with one of them pointing a gun at his face.
Borda wrestled the teen to the ground after the suspect pointed a gun at him in Oxon Hill, Maryland Wednesday afternoon. A gunshot was heard toward the end of the recording.
Fox News Digital spoke with Borda, who said, "I was just fixing my car — a normal day for me and I saw the teens [come] by. The guy took a pistol up to my head and started asking me for the car keys, phone, everything, all the valuables basically that I had."
Borda said a total of six teens attacked him, four of them were male and two of them female.
During the scuffle, he said, the teen's gun went off with the gunshot fired through the back of his truck. Miraculously, no one was hit.
As for how he was able to stop the attack before things got more violent, he said, "I just got prepared and adrenaline kicked in and some training."
Borda served in the Marine Corps and credits his combat training for saving his life.
He said his brother also stepped in to stop the attack by confronting the teens, which was also seen on that video.
Borda said this is not the first time a crime like this happened on his street. He said two years ago a group of teens or possibly young adults stole a vehicle — in the identical location.
"It was right where my car was as well," he said.
Prince George's County Police Department confirmed to Fox News Digital that two of the teens, both males, have been arrested and they are still investigating the involvement of the other four teens in relation to the crime.
Sophie Cunningham turned heads off the court before dominating Angel Reese, Spurs-Knicks ticket price & Saban!
We did it! We made it to another Friday. To the first weekend of June. Whew. Everyone can exhale now.
And hey! For June, we have a pretty loaded weekend on tap.
Honestly? It's not the worst lineup you'll see this summer. We're also experiencing a rare June cold front down here in Florida, which is nice. By "cold front," I mean it's 82 instead of 92, but that makes a big difference this time of year.
So, yeah, we're rolling right now. A lot of momentum. Let's pump out one final class this week and get on outta here.
Welcome to a Friday Nightcaps — the one where Sophie Cunningham and Caitlin Clark dominate Angel Reese and the Atlanta Dream, both on and off the court. You'll see.
What else? I've got the best of the rest from a loaded week of #content, Scottie ripping his caddie a new one after a water ball off the tee, and more Nick Saban talk in June.
HERE'S WHY NICK SABAN AND NOTRE DAME'S PETE BEVACQUA ARE WRONG ABOUT NIL RUINING COLLEGE FOOTBALL
OK, grab you a veggie burger for National Veggie Burger Day — throw it straight into the trash and get a Bubba Burger instead — and THEN settle in for a Friday 'Cap!
Let's spin the wheel and start with ... the WNBA! That's right.
Look, I normally wouldn't do it, but when Caitlin Clark, Sophie Cunningham and Angel Reese are all on the floor at the same time, I sort of have to. I'm nothing if not a sucker for the Google Algo.
The Fever won the first game of something called "The Commissioner's Cup" last night over Reese and the Dream. For those who don't know, that now makes Caitlin Clark 6-1 against Reese since the infamous finger-point in college, which I'm sure will delight most of you.
There were a few newsy moments from the game, most notably this little sequence in the first half that I reckon will now be used whenever an Angel Reese fan tries to say she's better than Caitlin Clark:
Lordy. Not great! Why is Angel Reese anywhere near the three-point line? Seems silly to me, but I admittedly ain't the biggest basketball fan.
The box score tells me that Reese finished with a double-double (11 points, 10 rebounds), while Clark finished with 17 but shot just 6 of 17 from the floor. For those interested in the +/- stat, Reese was a -2, while Caitlin was a +2.
They all paled in comparison to Sophie, who finished with eight points off the bench and a +11 on the court.
That's our girl! Remember where you met Sophie Cunningham first, boys and girls. Right here, in these spaces, last year.
She became famous last summer when she defended Clark after a hard foul, and it's been off to the races ever since.
Perhaps we should've known she was primed for a big game when she got to the arena dressed like someone ready to bash some skulls.
Choose your fighters, America:
Yeah, I mean ... it was curtains the second those two showed up looking like that. All is well in Fever Land. Phew. We can now move on with our lives and have a big weekend.
But first, let's recap a big week of #content that might've slipped through the cracks. First up? Let's head on back to 1994 and check in on OJ!
What a week. A solid, solllllllllllid, week of internet #content out of everyone. Well done.
A couple thoughts ...
Speaking of ... let's rapid-fire this Friday class into a big weekend. I know this happened yesterday, but, Lordy, it deserves a look in this class:
Goodness gracious. On one hand, it's relatable, because Lord knows if there's water to be found off a Par-3 tee shot, I will find it. Every single time. Without a doubt.
On the other hand, it's NOT relatable because I couldn't imagine talking to someone like that after a golf shot. Really, I couldn't imagine a world where I'm ever good enough to talk down to someone like that after a shot.
Scottie has seemed off to me all year. He just seems ... miserable. Right? He sounds like Brooks Koepka from 2023-25. That ain't a category you wanna be in.
Chin up, Scottie. It's golf. Let's have some fun!
Finally ... it appears everyone here agrees with Nick Saban after his latest Capitol Hill rant on the current state of NIL in college sports. The OutKick inbox is flooded with emails about it. Most of you are mad at Ian for attacking Saban, which I find funny.
Ian, by the way, is a good dude. Don't let his anti-SEC nonsense fool you!
From Owen K. in Arkansas!
I played football in the SWC/SEC in the late 80’s early 90’s (University of Arkansas) and my son just graduated from a BIG12 school (Kansas) where he also played. The college game has naturally changed over the decades, but the NIL has does something completely different. It has transformed it into a transactional business.
Coach Saban is stating the obvious, but he also benefited from having the best players at every position sometimes three deep. I don’t believe that was fair either.
My alma mater gave me the opportunity to get a degree and play football. I knew I always wanted to be a physician and my college experience opened those doors for me to become an orthopedic surgeon. It is not the Alabama’s of this world that are getting hurt by the NIL. They can cry me a river. It’s the Arkansas’s and Kansas’s that get hurt. The opportunity to win big is solely based on money now…not team chemistry, fortunate breaks, or 'diamonds’ in the rough that pan out. Those diamonds are scooped up by the big money teams now.
Thanks, Owen! Hard to argue with any of that. Recruiting is now a relic. It doesn't matter. It's all about how deep the pockets are at Booster Club HQ, and how deep they are willing to get. That's it.
Will I still watch on Saturdays? Hell yes. You betcha.
Will it feel the same? Not really. It is what it is.
By the way, 84 days till Week 0.
See you Monday.
OutKick Nightcaps is a daily column set to run Monday through Friday at 4 p.m. (roughly, we’re not robots).
Does watching college football still feel the same? Email me at Zach.Dean@OutKick.com.
'Love Island USA' contestant slammed by Pennsylvania mayor after he quit police force to join the reality show
A Pennsylvania police department is down another officer — and city leaders say reality television is to blame.
"Love Island USA" contestant Sean Reifel is under fire after resigning from the Bethlehem Police Department to join Season 8 of the hit dating show, leaving behind a force already grappling with staffing shortages and triggering frustration among local officials who say taxpayers invested thousands in his training.
The controversy exploded after Bethlehem Police Chief Michelle Kott publicly acknowledged her disappointment over Reifel's departure, revealing the department is now facing 16 officer vacancies.
‘LOVE ISLAND USA’ CONTESTANT EXITS SHOW AFTER RACIST SOCIAL MEDIA POSTS RESURFACE
"Officer Reifel recently resigned from the Bethlehem Police Department to pursue a unique personal opportunity. We respect his decision and wish him success in this next chapter of his life," Kott said in a statement to Fox News Digital.
But the chief made clear the resignation comes at a difficult time for the department.
"At the same time, I would be less than candid if I didn't acknowledge my disappointment in losing another police officer. Law enforcement agencies across the United States continue to face significant recruiting and retention challenges, and every vacancy affects our organization and the community we serve. With Officer Reifel's departure, we now have 16 officer vacancies that we are actively working to fill."
Kott added that while she was disappointed to lose a "trained and experienced officer," she understands that "people have personal and professional goals that sometimes lead them in different directions."
The chief also thanked Reifel for his service to the department and wished him success moving forward.
But Bethlehem Mayor J. William Reynolds delivered a different response.
JENNA ORTEGA URGES FOLLOWERS TO 'BE ANGRY' OVER LOS ANGELES IMMIGRATION RAIDS
The mayor blasted the 29-year-old reality TV contestant for walking away from the force less than a year after being sworn in, arguing the city invested significant taxpayer resources into preparing him for the job.
"Our police department spent a lot of time training, and we paid thousands of taxpayer dollars to send him to the police academy," Reynolds told local outlet WHTM.
"We are disappointed he left as we now have another vacancy in our department that is impossible to fill until next year."
Reynolds then took direct aim at Reifel's decision to swap police work for reality television.
"I never thought I'd see the day in America where reality show participation wins out over being a police officer."

The remarks quickly ignited backlash from some "Love Island" fans, who accused the mayor of publicly shaming Reifel for pursuing a new opportunity.
"I don't understand why this mayor took time to give an interview about this. Is he riding on the popularity of LI? Even if he did leave the force, he is not the only officer across the country who has left being an officer," one commenter wrote.

Another defended Reifel's choice, writing, "I went to the mayors Instagram and I left a comment because this is simply outrageous. I'm sorry, but people have the right to leave a job for a better opportunity for themselves and from what we've seen so far, Sean has only spoken favorably about his position as a police officer."
A third commenter accused Reynolds of using the reality star hopeful as a scapegoat.
"Regardless of whether it was approved leave or not being the mayor of a city and dragging this guy [through] the mud is just a way to deflect blame when he can't do his job."
Fox News Digital has reached out to Mayor Reynold’s office for comment.
NASCAR Hall of Famer Ned Jarrett, legendary driver and broadcaster, dies at 93
It has been a difficult stretch for the NASCAR community, and now it is mourning another loss, as legendary driver and broadcaster Ned Jarrett has passed away.
He was 93.
Jarrett, a NASCAR Hall of Famer, died of natural causes at his home in Newton, North Carolina. A celebrated driver and broadcaster, he was named one of NASCAR's 50 Greatest Drivers in 1998.
ZERO BS. JUST DAKICH. TAKE THE DON'T @ ME PODCAST ON THE ROAD. DOWNLOAD NOW!
He raced in the Cup Series from 1953 to 1966, first taking up racing while working on his family's farm and sawmill when Hickory Speedway opened.
"I played a little basketball and baseball in high school (and) thought I had some athletic ability," he said, according to NASCAR. "When they opened the speedway, I ran the first race they ever run there. I was hooked."
Jarrett is still No. 1 on the all-time wins list for Ford drivers. He won 43 races behind the wheel of a car with a Blue Oval on the front, and his position on that list seems safe for quite some time.
The highest active driver on the list is Team Penske's Joey Logano, who has 35 of his 37 career wins with Ford.
Jarrett is also remembered for his career in broadcasting that began after he retired from driving. He began as a pit reporter on radio for Motor Racing Network (MRN), then moved into TV with CBS and ESPN.

There's likely no moment of his broadcasting career as memorable as the 1993 Daytona 500 in which he called a late-race battle between his son, NASCAR great Dale Jarrett, and Dale Earnhardt Sr. that ended with his son taking the win.
"You know who I’m pulling for, it’s Dale Jarrett. Bring her to the inside, Dale, don’t let him get down there," Jarrett said during the broadcast. "He’s gonna make it! Dale Jarrett’s gonna win the Daytona 500! Alright!"
Jarrett's sons — the aforementioned Dale and brother, Glenn — both followed in their old man's footsteps by going into broadcasting after their racing careers were over.
Martha, his wife of 67 years, died in 2023.
Bondi’s replacement saddled with Epstein baggage as he awaits grueling confirmation battle
Former Attorney General Pam Bondi revealed that Todd Blanche, who at the time was second in command at the Justice Department, was put in charge of the release of the millions of documents from the Epstein files during her closed-door hearing before Congress late last month.
"As the head of a large department with broad responsibilities, I did not lead every aspect of this effort nor conduct that document review myself," Bondi said during the hearing. "I delegated that oversight over this process to Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche."
The House Oversight Committee released its transcript from Bondi's May 29 hearing just a day after President Donald Trump announced he intended to nominate Blanche as his permanent attorney general nominee, potentially complicating Blanche's confirmation as senators on both sides of the political aisle have heavily criticized the files' rollout.
Blanche has been serving as Acting Attorney General since April 2, when Trump announced Bondi's dismissal.
LAPSED EPSTEIN DEADLINE UNDERSCORES CHALLENGE OF REVIEWING TROVES OF FILES IN 30 DAYS
The release of the transcript, which placed responsibility for the Epstein files rollout squarely on Blanche's shoulders, comes just days after Blanche announced during a hearing that the Justice Department will be eliminating its controversial Anti-Weaponization Fund, which was created to compensate alleged victims of politicized prosecution and labeled a "slush fund" for Trump and his supporters by critics. The Justice Department's handling of the Epstein files and the Anti-Weaponization Fund, both overseen by Blanche, has drawn concern from both Republican and Democratic lawmakers.
Bondi's testimony revealed that Blanche had been her point man on the Epstein files and was tasked with briefing her on the release of the Epstein files.
The former attorney general found herself in hot water last July following a joint release by the Justice Department and FBI finding that there was no evidence that convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, who is alleged to have hundreds of underage victims, had kept a client list.
BONDI SAYS EPSTEIN CLIENT LIST 'SITTING ON MY DESK RIGHT NOW', AND IS REVIEWING JFK, MLK FILES
The joint statement, which Bondi said during May's hearing was penned by Blanche and not her, comes after months of the Trump administration teasing the release of the Epstein files. In February 2025, Fox News' John Roberts asked Bondi about the release of Epstein's "client list," which Bondi responded by saying that it was "sitting on her desk." Bondi and the White House clarified after the fact that she was referring to the files as a whole and not Epstein's "client list."
Members of Congress asked Bondi why Blanche interviewed Epstein's co-conspirator Ghislaine Maxwell, who was in prison, weeks after the joint memo release. Bondi replied by saying Blanche "was leading the Epstein matter and the release of everything from the beginning."
Once Trump signed the Epstein Files Transparency Act in November 2025, Bondi stated Blanche oversaw the release of millions of documents, which entailed overseeing the redaction process, including its protocols and guidelines, determining which documents were privileged and making corrections to redactions.
DOJ’S EPSTEIN DISCLOSURE DRAWS FIRE FOR WEBSITE GLITCHES, MISSING DOCUMENTS, REDACTIONS
"He was in charge of the process and the entire release of the Epstein files," Bondi said.
But the Justice Department faced scrutiny over failures to redact all identifiable information from some of Epstein's victims, allegations that some redactions were heavy-handed and that some documents were completely missing, prompting a bipartisan group of senators to send a letter in March requesting that the Government Accountability Office lead an investigation into the Justice Department's redaction process.
"Not only has DOJ withheld files, but those records that were disclosed are largely information that was already public," the letter stated. "Even those records are so heavily redacted that there are serious questions as to whether the Department is properly applying the limited exceptions for redaction that are permitted under the Act. Moreover, several records appear to have been removed, without explanation, from the files the Department did release."
SENATE REPUBLICAN DEMANDS STATE, FEDERAL COURTS 'IMMEDIATELY UNSEAL ALL' EPSTEIN DOCS
However, Bondi said during the hearing that she was not blaming Blanche and that the error rate for the redaction was 1%, which was what Blanche had told her.
"He managed this investigation — and it was a Herculean task — with very little error," Bondi said during the hearing. "And Todd did an excellent job, in my opinion, and is doing an excellent job as our Attorney General."
Following her closed-door testimony, Bondi pushed back on allegations from Rep. Robert Garcia, D-Calif., that she is pushing the blame of the Epstein Files rollouts on Blanche.
"NOT TRUE," Bondi posted on X. "I praised Acting AG Blanche’s management of this Herculean task. I said his ethics are beyond reproach and that he is an incredible Attorney General."
A White House spokesperson said that Blanche was doing an "excellent job" and will continue to perform well.
"Todd Blanche is an American patriot who fearlessly fought on behalf of President Trump against the Democrats’ illegal and unprecedented lawfare campaign," said Abigail Jackson, a White House spokeswoman. "The President’s entire team at the Department of Justice is doing a great job advocating for sanity, law and order, and policies that keep Americans safe."
Blanche's nomination is also expected to face scrutiny from Democrats who have questioned whether the former Trump defense attorney can serve as an independent attorney general. Last month, Sen. Adam Schiff, D-Calif., launched a Senate Judiciary Committee inquiry based on allegations that Blanche disregarded ethics guidance advising him to recuse himself from matters at the Justice Department involving Trump, who he previously served as a personal lawyer to.
Fox News Digital reached out to Senate Judiciary Committee leadership and the Justice Department for comment.

No destination is more closely tied to America's 250th anniversary than Philadelphia. The city is marking the milestone with the Wawa Welcome America Festival, a multi-day celebration running June 19 through July 4 that includes six days of fireworks and culminates in a free concert on the Benjamin Franklin Parkway featuring Christina Aguilera, Jill Scott, The Roots and more. Visitors can also explore the First Bank of the United States, which reopens to the public July 1 for the first time in decades.
Penn's View Hotel is an Italian American family-owned boutique property housed in an 1828 brick building in Philadelphia’s Old City. Guest rooms blend historic character with modern comforts, and many feature fireplaces and views of the Delaware River. The hotel also sits within walking distance of Independence Hall, the Liberty Bell and other major historic sites.
For a quieter stay outside the city, consider the Hotel Warner in nearby West Chester. But in general, if you're planning a trip around the anniversary celebrations, book early, as Philadelphia hotels are expected to fill quickly.
Boston is celebrating America's 250th anniversary with a yearlong lineup of events under its Boston 250 initiative, including reenactments, museum exhibits and waterfront programming throughout the summer. The centerpiece is the Boston Pops Fireworks Spectacular on the Fourth of July along the Charles River Explanade, including expanded viewing areas and performances by Lainey Wilson and Chance The Rapper, among others. Visitors can also catch the return of Sail Boston, which brings tall ships and military vessels back to Boston Harbor for the first time since 2017.
Stay at the Revere Hotel Boston Common, which has created a Revolution 250 package featuring complimentary tickets to the Paul Revere House, a Freedom Trail map and welcome cocktails. It's right at the foot of plenty of historical sites in the area. A more premium option if you want an elevated stay is the Liberty Hotel, housed in the former Charles Street Jail, offering a Fourth of July package that includes prime views of the Charles River fireworks.
One of the most unique events on the summer 2026 calendar is the Freedom 250 Grand Prix of Washington, D.C. On Aug. 22 and 23, the NTT INDYCAR Series will race on the National Mall for the first time, using a 1.7-mile, seven-turn street circuit that passes landmarks including the Washington Monument and the U.S. Capitol. General admission is free, and the Sunday race will air live on FOX. While you're in the capital, consider adding a visit to the Smithsonian National Museum of American History, which is planning special programming tied to America's 250th anniversary.
The Viceroy Washington DC blends modern amenities with locally inspired design in the heart of the 14th street corridor. Its location offers easy access to the National Mall during race weekend, while also placing guests near Logan Circle's popular restaurants and nightlife. For a stay even closer to the action, Hotel Washington puts visitors within walking distance of the race and many of the city's most recognizable landmarks.
If your ideal America 250 celebration centers more on music than fireworks, consider a trip to New York's Hudson Valley. The Hudson River Music Festival returns to Croton Point Park on June 21, continuing a tradition rooted in the folk music championed by Pete and Toshi Seeger in the 1960s. The all-ages event features performances across three stages set along the Hudson River, bringing together a diverse lineup of artists in one of the country's most historic landscapes.
For a casual stay, consider The Roundhouse in nearby Beacon, which pairs a boutique hotel experience with scenic waterfall views. For a more elevated stay, check out the Tarrytown House Estate, a historic property with Gilded Age architecture. It offers access to walking trails overlooking the Hudson River.

Celebrate the end of summer on the Southern California coast at Omni La Costa Resort & Spa's Labor Day Festival on Sept. 5, featuring a headline performance by country musician and "Yellowstone" star Luke Grimes. For a dose of history, drive about 30 minutes south to Cabrillo National Monument in Point Loma, which commemorates the first recorded European landing on the West Coast. Families can also add a stop at nearby Legoland California to round out the trip.
Cape Rey Carlsbad Beach, a Hilton Resort & Spa, offers one of the more accessible beachfront stays in the area, perched above the shoreline just south of Carlsbad Village. The property features ocean-view dining and easy beach access, while its location places guests about a 15-minute drive from Omni La Costa Resort & Spa for festival events.
Few destinations capture the spirit of the American road trip quite like South Dakota’s Black Hills. During the summer, Mount Rushmore National Memorial hosts nightly lighting ceremonies that include ranger-led programs, recognition of veterans and the illumination of the monument after sunset. Visitors traveling over the Fourth of July can also enjoy a full day of special programming, including presidential re-enactors, Indigenous cultural demonstrations and a performance by the U.S. Air Force Academy Band.
Round out the trip with a visit to the nearby Crazy Horse Memorial and a drive through Custer State Park, where scenic roads offer opportunities to spot bison, wildlife and some of the region’s most dramatic landscapes.
For a glamping experience near Mount Rushmore, Under Canvas Mount Rushmore offers safari-style tents on the site of a former gold-mining settlement. Guests get amenities like king-size beds and private bathrooms, making it a comfortable alternative to traditional camping.

Yellowstone National Park became the nation's first national park in 1872, making it a fitting destination during America's 250th anniversary year. Visitors can watch Old Faithful erupt at regular intervals, see the colorful Grand Prismatic Spring — the largest hot spring in the United States — and explore one of the country's most iconic landscapes. Wildlife viewing is another major draw, with bison roaming Hayden Valley and elk frequently spotted near park lodges and roadways.
Located about 20 minutes from Yellowstone's West Entrance, Island Park Lodge offers a quieter and often more affordable base for exploring the park. Guests can choose between traditional hotel rooms and modern rustic cabins, both designed with easy access to Yellowstone in mind. For a more immersive stay inside the park, consider the historic Old Faithful Inn, a National Historic Landmark known for its soaring timber architecture, massive stone fireplace and views of the famous geyser from select rooms.
Located just south of Astoria, Lewis and Clark National Historical Park preserves Fort Clatsop, the reconstructed winter camp where the Corps of Discovery spent the winter of 1805-06 after reaching the Pacific Ocean. During the summer, visitors can explore living history programs, paddle portions of the Lewis and Clark River or join ranger-led hikes through the surrounding landscape. Nearby, the Astoria Column rewards those willing to climb its 164 steps with sweeping views of the Columbia River and Pacific Coast. For even more coastal scenery, Cannon Beach and its iconic Haystack Rock sit about 25 minutes away.
Painstakingly restored in the early 2000s, Hotel Elliott offers a boutique stay in downtown Astoria within easy reach of the waterfront. Guests can take in views from the rooftop terrace while staying close to attractions. For a more upscale experience, Cannery Pier Hotel & Spa sits directly over the Columbia River and features private balconies with views of passing ships and the Astoria-Megler Bridge.

Civil war at '60 Minutes' as top stars choose to stay but issue explosive ultimatum
Longtime "60 Minutes" correspondents Lesley Stahl, Bill Whitaker and Jon Wertheim have decided to stay with the program following a wave of high-profile firings, while warning in a joint statement to colleagues that "newsrooms are not supposed to be run like dictatorships."
The trio of veteran journalists admitted they are still "deeply upset" by the recent shakeups at the program. The past two weeks have seen the firings of several top correspondents and producers from the venerated show.
"We have had a hard time deciding whether to stay," the group wrote, ultimately noting that they chose to remain with the embattled newsmagazine because they "don’t want to see ‘60 Minutes’ die."
The long-running program has faced significant upheaval following the firings of producers Tanya Simon and Draggan Mihailovich, correspondents Sharyn Alfonsi and Cecilia Vega, among others. This week, Scott Pelley was terminated a day after he exploded on network leadership at a meeting with new "60 Minutes" executive producer Nick Bilton.
'60 MINUTES' MELTDOWN: SCOTT PELLEY FIRED, PRAISED, SCOLDED FOR ATTACKING BARI WEISS, CHARGES BIAS
Bilton was brought in by embattled CBS editor-in-chief Bari Weiss to be the new "60 Minutes" head honcho. He got a rude welcome from Pelley, who told him he had "slender" qualifications and had harsher words for Weiss, who was not present at the meeting.
According to Stahl, Whitaker and Wertheim, no explanation was offered for the departures of Simon and Mihailovich, whom they described as "strong leaders who everyone respected."
"As far as we can tell – because no explanation has ever been offered, they were expelled because they fought for our ‘60 Minutes’ values and stood up to protect our independence and integrity," they said.
"We want to express how sorry we are that these principled, fair and honest journalists were treated so shabbily, with such indecency. Tanya deserves to be celebrated, not cruelly cast off. Draggan too. It’s been heartbreaking," the group later added.
The statement comes days after Pelley challenged the show’s new leadership, accusing Weiss of "murdering" the program, which debuted in 1968.
SCOTT PELLEY FIRED AT CBS NEWS AFTER BLOWUPS WITH BARI WEISS, NEW '60 MINUTES' PRODUCER
The correspondents also addressed Pelley’s departure and those of other former "60 Minutes" staffers.
"This goes for Sharyn, Cecilia and Scott as well, all at the top of the world of TV journalism who exemplified 60 Minutes’ ethos of tough questions and honest storytelling," they wrote.

Despite the turmoil, Stahl, Whitaker and Wertheim confirmed their intention to stay on and "try to repair and preserve our reputation." They said they were concerned the decision could be "construed as an endorsement of the existing power structure," but added that is "categorically not the case."
They said the decision is not final and that they are willing to leave if the show strays further from independent journalism, adding, "If we can continue doing the work that made this show what it is — committing acts of independent, fearless journalism and storytelling — we’re here for it. If not, we leave."
CBS previously pushed back against Pelley’s allegations of politics influencing the show’s decisions.
"There is no political interference at CBS News, not from ownership, not from Bari Weiss," a network spokesperson told Fox News Digital. "The only 'interference' is the normal back and forth between editor and correspondent that happens in every newsroom."
Which head coach's seat is hotter heading into 2026 season: Shane Beamer or Mike Norvell?
With the college football season still a few months away, many fans are looking for anything to latch onto in the offseason.
Narratives start to pop up and talking points get put under a microscope, but one of the most popular topics of conversation is the "hot seat" one.
There are several coaches who should sleep with one eye open heading into the 2026 season, but the two that seem to be the most talked about in this regard are South Carolina's Shane Beamer and Florida State's Mike Norvell.
Many college football talking heads have put Beamer and Norvell at the top of their hot seat rankings, including Brooks Austin, who made an entire video and graphic about the two embattled coaches, going so far as to say that the latter is already "fried like chicken."
It looks like Austin is placing Norvell ahead of Beamer in hot seat rankings, but is he right?
It might shock you, considering some of the things I've written about Norvell and the Seminoles in the past, but I might have to disagree with Austin on this one.
I think Beamer is in even hotter water than Norvell, and there are many reasons this is the case.
FIVE SEC TRAP GAMES IN 2026 THAT COULD UPEND THE COLLEGE FOOTBALL PLAYOFF RACE, FROM LSU TO GEORGIA
For starters, if we are looking at this through the lens of the 2026 season, South Carolina has a positively brutal schedule coming down the pike, especially compared to Florida State's slate.
The Gamecocks have to play road games against Alabama, Florida and Oklahoma in conference, as well as a non-conference game against Clemson in Death Valley.
That doesn't even factor in home games against College Football Playoff hopefuls Tennessee, Texas A&M and Georgia.
Conversely, Florida State's schedule, while not exactly a cakewalk, has some spots to breathe.
The Noles travel to Miami and Alabama, but most of their toughest matchups come at home.
I see six solid shots at wins on their schedule just to my naked eye. If Norvell can eek out two more wins out of the other six questionable matchups, then eight wins would show marked improvement and would almost guarantee safety for 2027.
There's also infinitely more pressure on Beamer relative to the talent he's amassed for this coming season.
As Austin opines in his video, if Beamer can't get eight or nine wins in 2026 with the likes of LaNorris Sellers, Nyck Harbor, Dylan Stewart and transfer offensive tackle Jacarrius Peak all likely heading to the NFL after season's end, then he may never reach that peak again.
And, of course, there is the $60 million elephant in the room (give or take a few greenbacks).
Norvell's contract makes it so that unless he has an absolute dumpster fire of a season, the powers that be in Tallahassee won't have the monetary support to pull the plug on his coaching tenure.

There is a world where 6-6 keeps Norvell in garnet and gold for at least another season. I'm not sure if anyone can say the same about Beamer.
In reality, though, we are splitting hairs.
These are a couple of coaches who are sitting on blazing hot seats, and the odds are good that both are out of their respective jobs by the end of the year.
Which would be a shame for their career trajectories, but they would then assume the greatest job in America: fired coach with an eight-figure buyout.
United Airlines jet flew too low and too slow before striking light pole and truck near Newark airport: NTSB
A United Airlines flight was flying too low and too slow when it barreled into a light pole and a tractor-trailer last month just before landing at Newark Liberty International Airport, the National Transportation Safety Board said.
Flight 169 was traveling from Venice, Italy, to New Jersey when it struck the pole and a Schmidt Bakery truck during its descent at around 2 p.m. on May 3.
Dashcam video showed the moment the Boeing 767-400 passenger jet struck the bakery truck on the New Jersey Turnpike. All 231 crew members and passengers were unharmed, and the plane landed safely following the incident.
The truck driver sustained minor injuries.

The aircraft was descending toward the airport when the crew experienced multiple runway changes before finally being assigned to runway 29, an 11-page preliminary report states. The NTSB noted that the flight was "normal until the descent."
As the plane neared the runway, its airspeed began to decay, prompting the first officer to warn the captain that the aircraft was "still slow and a little low."
The airplane descended dangerously low, reaching just 18 to 19 feet above ground level as it crossed over the Turnpike. It then struck a 15-foot-tall light pole on the turnpike just seconds before landing, the report said.

The captain reported hearing a "thump," while flight attendants in the back heard a "loud bang" just before touchdown.
After the plane parked at the gate, an onsite examination revealed three punctures to the lower left aft fuselage and slash marks on one tire, the report states.
When asked about the report, a United spokesperson told Fox News Digital, "We don't have anything to share."
Following the accident, United Airlines issued a safety alert explicitly warning pilots about using visual glideslope indicators—the lighting systems designed to provide visual guidance during approach and landing to let pilots know if they are flying too high or too low along their descent path.
WNBA player says the league shouldn't wear USA 250 patches for the All-Star Game because of slavery
In case you forgot, it’s a monumental year for America. We’re celebrating our 250th anniversary as a country. It’s a tremendous occasion, which includes recognition from America’s professional sports leagues. The way those leagues have shown appreciation and recognition of this historic achievement is by wearing USA 250 patches on jerseys.
The WNBA hasn’t quite made up their minds, though. That should be of little to no shock to any of you that know about this league. The Seattle Storm officially endorsed Kamala Harris for president during the 2024 election cycle, Brittney Griner and other athletes wore "Kamala Harris For the Culture" t-shirts during warm-ups, and the league is objectively the most left-leaning professional sports league in America. They’ve made that very clear, which would make sense of why they aren’t too fond on the idea of being excited and all-in on the idea of commemorating the country’s birthday.
On Thursday, after an article from Sportico announced America 250 patches would be worn by players during the July 25 WNBA All-Star Game hosted by the Chicago Sky, it caused quite the uproar from players, fans and media. The WNBA then provided further clarity about nine hours after it was published saying, "Like other major sports leagues, we are exploring how best to commemorate the country’s 250th anniversary. Nothing has been finalized at this time," the league said.
The most notable criticism was from Las Vegas Aces forward Brianna Turner, treasurer of the WNBA player’s association. Turner claimed that slavery should cause the league to refrain from using the patches.
AMERICA250 JOINS NFL AT SUPER BOWL TO MARK NATION’S 250TH BIRTHDAY IN RED, WHITE AND BLUE
"Whoever called for the WNBA all star uniforms to have the USA 250 patch should have thought that through considering no WNBA players would have been free 250 years ago. The majority wouldn’t even have their freedom 100 years ago," Turner wrote on X.
It’s true that blacks weren’t free as the nation was founded as they are now, but this just tells me that Turner doesn’t care about the progress made throughout our nation’s history and is unwilling to educate herself on the history of the Democratic Party, which stifled much of that progress toward freedom.
Yes, women weren’t allowed to vote when America was founded, but I doubt her "freedom" fixation was on voting rights, if I had to take a guess.
But hey, you don't have to worry about having to wear the patch, Brianna. Players that average just over one point per game don't make the All-Star team, so you don't have anything to worry about.
As Sportico stated, "The WNBA was not part of the formal January announcement when the NBA, NFL, MLB, UFC and NASCAR—among others—announced that they would feature the patch on uniforms or the 250 logo in venue during various big events."
As you tune into the NBA Finals, you'll clearly see the players on both the San Antonio Spurs and New York Knicks wearing the USA 250 patches.
Sports should be, and in large part, have been the best place to come together as Americans, regardless of race, religion, or political affiliation. These patches show pride in a country that is the gold standard for justice, peace, freedom and prosperity the world has ever seen. If the WNBA can’t get on board with that, they are just furthering the political divide and come across as being opposed to Trump, rather than coming together to recognize the semiquincentennial of America. We’ve come a long way as a country, and we can go further if league’s lay down their liberal arms and come together to unite America under the flag. Just as the national anthem before games is a time to come together and recognize the blessing it is to live and play a kid’s game freely, these patches should be a simple way to recognize those facts for one weekend.
Do the right thing, WNBA. Wear the patches. Honor the nation that allows you the freedom to play the game you love. This isn't about partisan politics.
The WNBA has not responded to emails about Turner’s comments or about whether they have made up their mind about the patches.
