Donald Trump uses Pete Rose to justify soldier's alleged shady Maduro bet, and he's not wrong
Nobody on the planet is still more outraged at the Pete Rose situation than Donald Trump. A lot of things irk the president, and for good reason.
The insufferable media. Democrats. The fact that Iran can't seem to pick a new Supreme Leader. Rosie O'Donnell. The list is long, and it's expansive.
But the late, great Pete Rose getting kicked out of baseball decades ago for gambling eats at Trump every single day. Why? I have no idea, but I respect it. Years ago when Rose died, Trump wrote a novel of a Truth Social telling MLB Commissioner Rob Manfred to grow a pair and put Rose in the Hall of Fame. It was amazing.
Anyway, Trump and Rose are BACK in the news this week. That's right. Strap in.
The president was asked Thursday about the situation involving U.S. Special Forces soldier Gannon Ken Van Dyke, who was recently charged by the DOJ for unlawful use of confidential government information. What did he do?
Well, he allegedly placed a series of bets on prediction market Polymarket that Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro would be out of power by Jan. 31.
Van Dyke was involved in the planning and execution of capturing Maduro for about a month beginning Dec. 8, 2025, according to the federal prosecutor’s office.
Thoughts, Mr. President?
"Was he betting that they would get him, or that they wouldn't get him? That's a little like Pete Rose. Pete Rose, they kept him out of the Hall of Fame for betting on his own team. Now, if he bet against his team, that would be no good, but he bet on his team.
"I'll look into it."
First off, Trump throwing in a throwaway "I'll look into it" at the end was the good stuff. No he won't. Well, scratch that. He might. Again, the guy LOVES Pete Rose. He's fascinated by Pete, still to this day. If he can stop someone in our great military from becoming a modern day Pete Rose, he's gonna do it.
As for Van Dyke ... I agree with Trump here. I've always thought it was silly to punish folks who bet on themselves, or, in this case, their country. What's the big deal? It's why I never understood why Rose got hit so hard for betting on his Reds.
PETE ROSE'S REINSTATEMENT HAS BASEBALL FANS IN UPROAR: 'WHAT A SHAME THEY WAITED UNTIL NOW'
As someone who bets, and loses, quite frequently, I can promise you that folks tend to care a lot more when they have money on something, or someone. Just last night, I bet that my Miami Dolphins would pick Reuben Bain in the first round of the NFL Draft. $5 to win $30. Not a bad little sprinkle.
Bain was there at 12 for Miami, and they passed on him. I was furious. But buddy, did I feel ALIVE.
Now, is that the same as a soldier betting on the capture of a vicious dictator? Well, no. But imagine the absolute rush Van Dyke felt as he saw Maduro strapped to the back of that helicopter, blindfolded, wearing his Nike shorts, on the way back to the US of A?
ZERO BS. JUST DAKICH. TAKE THE DON'T @ ME PODCAST ON THE ROAD. DOWNLOAD NOW!
I can only imagine. I bet he ate like a king that night.
Anyway, Trump's not alone in this thinking. Several notable officials have come to Van Dyke's defense, including OutKick star, Anna Paulina Luna.
And if I've learned one thing over the years, it's if Anna Paulina Luna is on your side, things usually work out in the end.
Ex-Michigan football coach Sherrone Moore's mistress reveals he got her pregnant during relationship
Paige Shiver, the former University of Michigan employee who had a relationship with former head football coach Sherrone Moore, revealed in an interview on Friday that he got her pregnant.
Shiver sat down with ABC News’ Linsey Davis and spoke about her relationship with Moore and what led to him getting fired from the school. In an emotional part of the sit down, Shiver said Moore got her pregnant.
ZERO BS. JUST DAKICH. TAKE THE DON'T @ ME PODCAST ON THE ROAD. DOWNLOAD NOW!
However, she was diagnosed with Pompe disease, which can cause muscle weakness and lead to respiratory issues.
"Multiple doctors and experts told me that it wouldn’t be right or healthy for me to keep the baby," Shiver said as she battled through tears, adding that she wanted to keep the baby.
She added that Moore told her that she had to "do what’s right for your body."
Michigan fired Moore in December as it was revealed that he had a relationship with Shiver. He was facing charges of stalking, breaking and entering and home invasion after he allegedly stormed into her home and threatened to kill himself with butter knives.
He ended up reaching a plea deal and pleaded no contest to two misdemeanors to resolve the felony criminal case. The deal was struck the same day a judge planned to hear a challenge to Moore’s arrest in December on three charges, including felony home invasion. Those previous charges were dropped in exchange for Moore pleading no contest to misdemeanor trespassing and misdemeanor malicious use of a telecommunications device.
Shiver recalled hearing Moore come to her apartment immediately after he was terminated.
"All of a sudden, I hear footsteps and they’re getting closer and louder, and I’m like, ‘Crap.’ So, I run to my door to try to lock it, he barges in and he’s standing like ‘this’ close to me. And he said, ‘You ruined my life. Why would you do this to me?’ I start backing up and he starts following me," she said.
She said she feared for her life in that moment.
"He’s 6-4. He comes in with his hood up, looking down at me saying I ruined his life, crying, and starts coming at me," she said. "I tell him to leave and he’s not supposed to be here. He’s not listening to me. And he starts grabbing butter knives."
Shiver said Moore should have gone to jail.
"Yes. I think he should have gotten more punishment for what he did," she said.
Fox News Digital reached out to Moore’s attorney, Ellen K. Michaels, for comment.
"Sherrone Moore has closed this chapter," Michaels told ABC News.

Flight passengers warn new boarding overhaul could trigger more chaos at the gate
JetBlue is rolling out a new "intuitive" boarding process — but frequent flyers say it could make things worse.
The airline announced that starting April 29, it will streamline boarding by consolidating its process and switching to numbered groups.
The change is designed to make boarding announcements easier to follow and improve the overall experience at the gate, the company told Fox News Digital.
AIRLINE PASSENGER SPARKS HEATED DEBATE ABOUT 'RARELY ENFORCED' BAGGAGE POLICY ON FLIGHT
"Effective April 29, 2026, JetBlue is simplifying its boarding process by transitioning from branded and lettered groups to a numbered system. Customers will continue to board in a familiar order, with early access continuing for Mint, Mosaic and EvenMore customers," the airline said in a statement.
The "update reflects JetBlue’s ongoing commitment to delivering a smoother, more seamless experience for customers across their travel journey."
Gary Leff, a Texas-based travel industry expert and author of the blog "View From the Wing," said the changes are partly aimed at driving additional revenue.
"JetBlue is reducing the number of boarding groups, moving from letters to numbers, and people buying better seats get earlier boarding bundled in," he said. "Premium credit card customers get a better boarding group."
He added, "This is meant to incentivize high-margin extra revenue that customers add to JetBlue."
Leff said that in his experience, the airline is also trying to simplify its process.
"My general experience is that JetBlue is quite good in the air, but a bit confused on the ground," he said, sharing his point of view. "They’re streamlining boarding a bit and standardizing ... while moving to more effectively use boarding as part of their monetization stream."
Under the new system, premium passengers and loyalty members will continue to board first.
Group 1 will include Mosaic 3 and 4 members as well as Mint customers — followed by Mosaic 1 and 2 members and customers who purchase "EvenMore" extra legroom seats in group 2.

Credit card holders, select fare types and early boarding perks will follow in group 3, with general boarding continuing in later groups based on seat location, the company said.
JetBlue said customers with disabilities will still be invited to pre-board, while active military members and those traveling with car seats or strollers will be offered courtesy boarding.
The update introduces a new priority for some customers, including those who purchase certain add-ons or hold co-branded credit cards.

"All JetBlue flights will board in numbered boarding groups (groups 1–8), to make boarding more intuitive, consistent, easier to follow along at the gate — and easier to hear and understand during boarding announcements," the airline said on its website.
The changes have already sparked discussion on social media.
Some travelers on Reddit questioned whether the new system benefits loyal customers, with several users saying it could reduce the value of certain status tiers.
TEST YOURSELF WITH OUR LATEST LIFESTYLE QUIZ
Others pointed to potential crowding, noting that combining multiple groups could lead to longer lines at the gate and increased competition for overhead bin space.
"This will cause more delays," one user wrote, expressing concern about larger boarding groups.
Another commenter criticized the shift, writing that it "devalues" certain frequent flyer tiers by placing them in larger boarding groups.
Still, some travelers said the changes may have little impact on the overall experience.
"I find it so curious that many of you consider your boarding hierarchy a devaluation. Literally everyone [is] getting into the same tube that leaves at the same time," one user wrote.
Forensic genealogy unmasks cold case suspect as strangler, sexual predator decades later: officials
Years after DNA evidence linked a 1991 killing and a 1993 rape in Massachusetts, forensic genetic genealogy helped investigators identify the man authorities say was responsible for both cold cases.
Evidence from the killing of Cherie Bishop in 1991 and the rape of Donna Bell in 1993 was uploaded to the Combined DNA Index System, Plymouth County District Attorney Timothy Cruz said Thursday.
"For decades, the Bishop and Bell families were deprived of the full story of what happened to their loved ones," Cruz said. "They carried these tragedies across lifetimes."
Investigators said Bishop, 28, was found strangled in a wooded area near her Brockton apartment in June 1991. Bell was raped in Brockton in 1993.
FOLLOW THE FOX TRUE CRIME TEAM ON X
Bishop was found dead in nearby Mulberry Park, wearing only socks and a diamond earring, Cruz said. Her cause of death was ruled to be mechanical asphyxiation, and the manner of death was homicide.
Investigators collected DNA evidence through a rape kit and analyzed it at the time, but no suspect was identified. The evidence was later retested as forensic genealogy techniques continued to advance.

A rape kit was also collected in Bell’s case.
Cruz said Bell was abducted from the street and sexually assaulted by a man in a vehicle, who threatened to strangle her if she resisted.
She managed to escape after, authorities said, she seized a sharp object. Bell died in 2021.
Cruz said investigators had known since 2016 that the cases were connected, but available DNA evidence did not identify a suspect until advances in forensic genetic genealogy provided a breakthrough.
"Their exhaustive investigative work, combined with a DNA sample match, identified Robert Carey as the perpetrator," Cruz said.

The district attorney’s office said Othram, a Texas forensic genealogy lab, identified a likely relative of the suspect, helping investigators ultimately identify Carey.
Carey, who died of natural causes in June 2025 at 64, lived at the Brockton Veterans Administration Medical Center, about 1.5 miles from both crime scenes, the district attorney’s office said.
LISTEN TO THE NEW 'CRIME & JUSTICE WITH DONNA ROTUNNO' PODCAST
"None of this would have been possible without the tremendous effort and devoted work of the Massachusetts State Police, Brockton Police, the State Police Crime Lab, Trooper Joe Collett, Assistant District Attorneys Samantha Mullin and Jennifer Sprague, as well as Forensic Scientist Krista Lundgren," Cruz said.
Dianna Russini deletes X account after relentless mocking, questionable comments resurface
NFL reporter Dianna Russini is no longer on X.
Russini deleted her social media account on Thursday before the start of the NFL Draft as she faced relentless mocking over posts from past in wake of her questionable relationship with New England Patriots head coach Mike Vrabel.
Page Six published photos of Russini and Vrabel kissing at a bar in New York City from more than six years ago. Then, TMZ shared photos of the two laughing in a casino after the Titans fired Vrabel following the 2023 season.
Late Wednesday night, Vrabel announced he was going to step away from the team to seek counseling. He addressed reporters before the first round of the draft. But didn’t really have any answers as to why he brushed off the initial round of photos that showed the two lounging and getting close at an Arizona resort during NFL meetings early in the offseason.

Social media sleuths had already dug up wild comments from Russini about Vrabel and her husband before Vrabel’s decision to step away on Wednesday, but the additional posts that were found appeared to be too much for Russini.
Russini was an NFL reporter with ESPN and The Athletic, now owned by The New York Times, and by all accounts had good sources and broke major NFL news while she was at both outlets.
Despite strong support from The Athletic, before the company announced an investigation, Russini resigned from the company.

"I have covered the NFL with professionalism and dedication throughout my career, and I stand behind every story I have ever published," her letter read. "When the Page Six item first appeared, The Athletic supported me unequivocally, expressed confidence in my work and pride in my journalism. For that I am grateful. In the days that followed, unfortunately, commentators in various media have engaged in self-feeding speculation that is simply unmoored from the facts.
"Moreover, this media frenzy is hurtling forward without regard for the review process The Athletic is trying to complete. It continues to escalate, fueled by repeated leaks, and I have no interest in submitting to a public inquiry that has already caused far more damage than I am willing to accept. Rather than allowing this to continue, I have decided to step aside now — before my current contract expires on June 30. I do so not because I accept the narrative that has been constructed around this episode, but because I refuse to lend it further oxygen or to let it define me or my career."
Neither Vrabel nor Russini have ever addressed their relationship – professional or otherwise.
For now, Vrabel still has a job as the Patriots’ head coach.

The legacy of 'Eagle Claw': How failure helped build America's elite special forces
Forty-six years ago this month, America learned a brutal lesson in the Iranian desert.
In April 1980, Operation Eagle Claw, a Delta Force mission to rescue American hostages in Tehran, ended in disaster. Mechanical failures, a sandstorm, and a catastrophic collision killed eight U.S. service members. The mission failed. The world watched. Our enemies took note.
But what they failed to understand then, and what they are being reminded of now, is this:
America learns. America adapts. And America returns more lethal.
TRUMP TO HONOR SPECIAL FORCES BEHIND MADURO CAPTURE AT FORT BRAGG AS GLOBAL TENSIONS ESCALATE
The rescue of two U.S. airmen deep inside hostile territory was not just an extraordinary success. It was the direct legacy of that failure 46 years ago. What the world just witnessed was the full expression of a Special Operations playbook forged in the wreckage of Eagle Claw.
Failure Forged the Force the World Fears Today
Operation Eagle Claw exposed glaring weaknesses: fractured command, poor inter-service coordination, and no unified special operations capability. America did not retreat. America rebuilt.
That failure became a watershed moment in Special Operations history, helping give birth to USSOCOM and JSOC, the modern U.S. Special Operations enterprise: disciplined, integrated, and built for the world’s hardest missions. Units under Joint Special Operations Command now train for the exact scenario we saw unfold this week: a high-risk recovery deep inside denied territory, executed with precision under extreme pressure.
This latest mission did not begin when the aircraft went down. It began long before, through contingency plans, rehearsals, and layered decision-making built for speed. When the call came, execution was not improvised. It was immediate.
Decision cycles were not measured in hours. They were measured in minutes.
MORNING GLORY: PRESIDENT TRUMP’S BIG SPEECH ON IRAN — WHAT WILL IT DO?
"No One Left Behind" Is Not a Slogan. It Is a Covenant.
Every service member downrange understands one thing: if you go down, America is coming. No matter the cost. Whatever it takes.
That belief is not motivational language. It is operational truth. It drives risk tolerance. It compresses timelines. And it reinforces trust across the force in ways civilians rarely see or fully understand.
In this case, one airman landed roughly 40 miles from the crash site and survived over 36 hours evading capture, injured, alone, and moving. He did not "get lucky." His training took over.
That is Survival, Evasion, Resistance, and Escape (SEREE) training in action: controlling movement, minimizing signature, mastering fear, and maintaining discipline until recovery forces arrive.
Meanwhile, a massive recovery package surged into motion: more than 150 aircraft, including bombers, fighters, refueling tankers, and rescue platforms. This is what global reach looks like. This is what capability looks like. This is what commitment looks like.
RESCUE EXPERT SAYS MOST DANGEROUS MOMENT COMES AFTER ‘JACKPOT’ CALL IN RECOVERY BEHIND ENEMY LINES
The Brotherhood Civilians Will Never Fully Understand
There is something in these missions that is difficult to explain outside the community.
A switch flips.
Everything else disappears – fear, fatigue, even self-preservation. What remains is singular focus: finish the mission. Find him, secure him, and bring him home. Whatever it takes.
I have had the luxury of a front seat to some of our most elite warrior. The tales of teammates throw themselves on top of hostages in the middle of a firefight, willing to absorbing bullets and shrapnel meant for someone else. That is not normal human behavior. That is the product of training, trust, and an unbreakable brotherhood forged over years.
These are "no-fail" missions. Not because failure is impossible, but because it is intolerable.
We Do Not Leave Our People. And We Do Not Forget Our Fallen.
There is another legacy of Operation Eagle Claw that matters just as much.
From that tragedy came the Special Operations Warrior Foundation, whose mission is simple and sacred: ensure the children of fallen special operations personnel receive a full education.
That is part of America’s battlefield promise.
We bring our people home. And if they do not come home, we take care of their families.
That promise is not a bumper sticker. It is not a talking point. It is a covenant, paid for in blood and honored in action.
A BRAVE MARINE COLONEL TOOK ON THE PENTAGON — AND PAID THE PRICE FOR IT
From 1980 to Today: Vindication in the Same Region
There is profound historical symmetry in what just happened.
Forty-six years ago, in that same region, we fell short.
Now, we executed with precision, recovering our people, striking enemy targets, and demonstrating a level of coordination and lethality our adversaries cannot match.
This is not just success.
This is vindication.
It sends a clear message to Iran, China, Russia, and every adversary watching: distance is not protection. Terrain is not protection. Time is not protection.
If you harm Americans, we can find you. And we will act.
American Exceptionalism, Proven, Not Claimed
HIGH-RISK EFFORT TO SAVE 'DUDE 44' CREW IS MOST INCREDIBLE COMBAT RESCUE IN US HISTORY
In a world that often questions American strength, this mission answered it. Not with rhetoric, but with results.
What you saw in this rescue was not luck. It was not improvisation. It was the culmination of decades of hard lessons from both triumph and tragedy, relentless training, and an unshakable commitment to one principle: leave no man behind.
That principle was tested in 1980, and it failed. But from that failure, we built something extraordinary, a force worthy of those still serving, those we have lost, and the warriors who built this legacy.
And now, the world has seen exactly what that looks like.

Carrie Ann Inaba shares her struggle to manage hidden, invisible illness: 'It's real'
Longtime "Dancing with the Stars" judge Carrie Ann Inaba is spreading awareness about a condition she’s been living with for decades.
The dancer and TV personality has recently been transparent about her journey with Sjogren’s disease – an autoimmune condition that can start with seemingly small symptoms but has the potential to become debilitating.
Inaba, 58, was rushed to the hospital last week after her condition triggered a medical emergency mid-flight while traveling to New York City.
'DWTS' JUDGE CARRIE ANN INABA RUSHED TO HOSPITAL AFTER MID-FLIGHT MEDICAL EMERGENCY
In an Instagram post featuring a video of Inaba being transported in an ambulance, she described how she "suddenly felt quite ill."
"And while it seemed like food poisoning, I also suddenly broke out into a cold sweat, got dizzy and my arms went numb," she wrote.
"Like many people who live with autoimmune disease, I travel with a health tool kit and am prepared for the worst, but this scared me."
SELENA GOMEZ'S HEALTH BATTLE TAKES PAINFUL TURN AS STAR REVEALS LUPUS COMPLICATION
In an interview with Fox News Digital, Inaba revealed that she’s been silently struggling with the disease for years, since first developing eye problems when she was younger.
"My eyes were really, really dry and I kept having injuries to my corneas," she said.
After consulting her ophthalmologist, who brushed off her symptoms, Inaba met with a rheumatologist who directed her to a Sjogren’s specialist.
Following extensive bloodwork and a dry-eye test, Inaba was diagnosed with Sjogren’s disease in 2013 – more than 10 years after she first experienced symptoms.
Sjogren’s is a chronic, systemic autoimmune disease that can affect different parts of the body. If left untreated, the condition can worsen over time, in some cases causing damage to the lungs, kidneys and other organs, according to medical experts.
An estimated four million people in the U.S. are living with Sjogren’s, 90% of whom are women.
In a survey of more than 3,500 adults living with the disease, 48 different symptoms were reported over the course of a year, per data from Sjout for Sjogren’s.
Sjogren’s can show up differently for everyone, making it difficult to diagnose.
In Inaba's case, after the initial dry-eye symptoms, she began suffering from "a lot of pain" in her neck and shoulders. As a dancer, this was difficult to differentiate from the normal aches and pains, she shared. Extreme fatigue was another symptom she experienced.
"I had no energy to move forward with things, which is unlike me," she said. "I've always been a go-getter ... I was physically active my whole life. And during this chapter, when I was starting to figure out something was wrong, there were all these symptoms, and I didn't understand how they were related."
FEELING EXTRA TIRED? THIS VIRUS COULD BE THE CULPRIT, STUDY SUGGESTS
Other symptoms can include dry mouth, brain fog, anxiety, swollen glands and lymph nodes, skin rashes, fevers and night sweats. People may also notice numbness, tingling or burning in the hands or feet. Internal organ complications can also occur.
Inaba said she relies on a variety of practices to manage her symptoms, including keeping her eyes and environment moist.
"I always have a lot of drinks. I'm always spraying things in the air to get moisture in the air. I have a humidifier I sleep with," she told Fox News Digital.
"I also do lots of meditation and reiki and body work to make sure I don't get too flared up, because pain is always with me. I live with pain 24/7."
Inaba said she’s learned how to listen to her body to tap into what it needs, especially taking time to rest surrounding big events.
"I know that more than likely, I might be sick and I might have a few down days afterwards, and it's worth the risk," she said. "If I don't have to be in a crowd, I won't, because I want to take care of my health and prioritize myself."
For others who are living with Sjogren’s or experiencing symptoms, Inaba’s advice is to keep "careful track" of the warning signs, to recognize when something doesn’t feel right and to advocate for proper care.
This is the message behind the Sjout for Sjogren’s campaign, an awareness movement that Inaba hopes will help spread more knowledge about the disease and reduce stigma.

"We want people to respect that it is a complicated systemic autoimmune disease that needs care," she said. "There is no FDA-approved treatment at this time, so it's about managing symptoms."
"It’s important to also have a community – and part of this campaign is about building a community."
The most important thing Inaba wants people to know about Sjogren’s is that "it’s real."
"It's an invisible illness," she said. "I know when I'm out there doing whatever show I'm doing, you don't think I'm sick, but I pay a price for doing that."

"It's sometimes a lonely and isolating disease – and so I want people to know they can reach out … I want people to feel confident enough to shout about what they're going through."

She added, "Don't let people tell you it's not real. And have patience for the friends who are trying to understand, but can't quite. Because, most likely, you don't believe it unless you're actually experiencing it."

Dem gubernatorial hopefuls ripped for playing 'garbage' race card over crackdown on truckers' English
Democratic Party candidates for California governor said they would fight the Trump administration's push to get California police officers to begin issuing English proficiency tests for big rig drivers in the state because it's racist.
The warnings and fear expressed about implementing stricter regulations to ensure anyone with a Commercial Driver's License (CDL) can understand American road signs came from Democrats during the first California gubernatorial debate since Eric Swalwell was forced to jump out of the race amid sexual misconduct allegations.
It also follows efforts by the Trump administration to push states to become stricter around handing out CDLs and a slew of news headlines and Homeland Security reports highlighting fatal tractor trailer crashes by illegal immigrants who struggle to sufficiently speak English.
"Racial profiling is illegal. And, in fact, picking on people based on the color of their skin in the state of California, is illegal," Democrat megadonor and billionaire businessman Tom Steyer said when asked if he would support a policy enforcing police to issue road-side language proficiency tests to truck drivers.
WHITE HOUSE SAYS CALIFORNIA GRANTED LICENSE TO ILLEGAL IMMIGRANT TRUCKER CHARGED IN FATAL DUI CRASH
"Is that officer asking everyone he pulls over to explain those road signs? Or, is he asking only people who look like me? If he's doing that, then he's violating the law," former Biden administration Health and Human Services Secretary Xavier Beccera said, slamming a police officer in a short local news clip played at the outset of the question showing an officer issuing a field test to determine if a commercial driver who spoke Spanish could understand road signs.
Meanwhile, Republican California gubernatorial hopeful Sheriff Chad Bianco slammed his Democratic opponents for pulling the race card.
"Let's stop with this whole racism thing, and racial profiling and all of this garbage. We have to get over this. You either violated the law or you didn't. End of story," Bianco said. "Consequences for bad behavior."
The Department of Transportation announced in October that it would withhold $40 million from California, arguing the state has failed to comply with the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration's English Language Proficiency (ELP) standards.
The pulled funding came after an audit found that a pattern of states was issuing licenses illegally to foreigners, including through not ensuring drivers could speak sufficient English. In California alone, the audit claimed to have found, more than 25% of non-domiciled CDLs reviewed were improperly issued.
In August, a fatal crash with an 18-wheeler driven by an illegal immigrant was caused after an illegal U-turn was made by the foreign driver. Subsequent investigations revealed the driver lacked English proficiency. "This is a devastating tragedy made even worse by the fact that it was totally preventable," White House Spokeswoman Abigail Jackson told Fox News Digital at the time. "Illegal aliens that have no legal right to be in our country certainly should not be granted commercial drivers' licenses."
In response to Bianco telling his Democrat colleagues to "stop with this whole racism thing," Democratic candidate and former congresswoman from California Katie Porter said she was "stunned" he would say such a thing.
"I am stunned that Mr. Bianco would say to black and brown Californians and immigrants who are being terrorized and racially profiled that you have to 'get over' racism. It's not something that you 'get over, it's something that you 'fight.' If he doesn't understand the importance of that he has no business representing a state with the diversity of California," Porter said when asked about whether she supported enforcing rules so that law enforcement will issue language proficiency tests to truck drivers.
Matt Mahan, the former mayor of San Jose, also said he would not support the policy, but he and Porter both suggested that the DMV could use some oversight.
"No," Mahan said when asked if he supported the policy to test truck drivers for language skills. "The right answer here, clearly, is to hold the DMV accountable for ensuring that every driver on our roadway meets the qualifications for the licenses they have. That is the appropriate entity to do this."
When the moderator pressed Mahan for a clearer answer on whether he would support law enforcement checking truck drivers for language proficiency on the road, he dodged the question.
"It's not about whether you speak English," Mahan continued. "What the DMV is responsible for doing is not testing how good your English is, it's whether or not you're a safe driver who understands the rules."
"Protecting Californians also includes enforcing traffic laws and we've seen sometimes a need for oversight in California," Porter also said. "For example, we have seen that the Department of Motor Vehicles was not enforcing rules about DUI's and drivers who have convictions for that."
Giants' bizarre draft decisions leave star player frustrated as true needs go unfulfilled in first round
The New York Giants had a completely bizarre draft on Thursday – one that even left star wide receiver Malik Nabers visibly frustrated during his own simulcast with Green Bay Packers linebacker Micah Parsons.
First, an item that slipped under the radar, former co-owner Steve Tisch appeared in the team’s war room as the team was making its second pick of the night. Tisch transferred his ownership stakes to his family after his name appeared in the Jeffrey Epstein files.

The Athletic noted that Tisch was "still involved" with the team.
Then, came the Giants’ first pick. New York was on the clock at No. 5 and, the way the cards were dealt, they could have filled a big need in the secondary. New York hasn’t had a hard-hitting safety since Shaun Williams was roaming around as a defensive back in the late 1990s and early 2000s.
Instead, the Giants decided to add Ohio State linebacker Arvell Reese to the team. Reese was a fantastic player with the Buckeyes. He was an All-American and the Big Ten Linebacker of the Year in 2025. However, he’s joining a team that already had four linebackers on the team. Kayvon Thibodeaux, Brian Burns, Abdul Carter and Tremaine Edmunds are already on the team.
Nabers expressed his frustration with the pick.
THE MOST INTRIGUING TEAMS AND PLAYERS OF THE 2026 NFL DRAFT'S FIRST ROUND
"Love the player, don’t get me wrong," Nabers said on the Bleacher Report simulcast. "But where do you play? He is going to want to be on the outside to rush but we just drafted somebody last year to do that same position."
The Giants had the No. 10 selection as well after trading Dexter Lawrence to the Cincinnati Bengals. Ohio State safety Caleb Downs was still on the board. However, the team chose to go a different route.
New York selected Miami offensive lineman Francis Mauigoa at No. 10 with the reported intentions of moving him from the tackle sport to guard.
Nabers also questioned that selection.
"I would rather get him then play against him … I’m just saying that Downs was there twice," Nabers said. "The reason why I said Caleb Downs … is because we just traded [Dexter Lawerence], you need you need interior D line — I understand getting outside backer he wants to rush OK — but when you eliminate something from there you, have to put something in the back end to be secure."
Instead, Downs fell to the Dallas Cowboys at No. 12. Nabers will have to see Downs twice a year, as well as former Ohio State star Sonny Styles – who was taken by the Washington Commanders.
As the draft was concluding, Nabers was forced to clarify some of the things he was saying on the livestream.
"First off, we have to stop overreacting," he wrote on X. "I would never intentionally take away from the biggest moment/night of Arvell’s life. Very excited to see him play on the team and happy that we have another dawg on the squad!"
Well, cheers to a few more years of Giants appearing on the New York Post back page for futility instead of something good.
