Nancy Guthrie was expected at friend’s home, not church on day she vanished: source
A source close to the Guthrie family is pushing back on reports about how Nancy Guthrie was discovered missing on Sunday, Feb. 1, saying key details of the timeline have been reported incorrectly.
Early reporting indicated that Nancy Guthrie had been scheduled to attend an in-person church service in Tucson that morning and was reported missing after she failed to show up. According to the family source, that account is not accurate.
The source told Fox News that for years — dating back to the COVID pandemic — Nancy and a small group of close friends had a standing Sunday routine that did not involve attending church in person. Instead, the group would gather at one another’s homes to watch a New York–based church service via livestream.
The service was broadcast live from a New York church attended by Savannah Guthrie, the longtime "TODAY" show co-anchor and Nancy Guthrie’s daughter.
On Sunday, Feb. 1, Nancy was expected to be at a friend’s home to watch the livestream, as she had done every week. When she failed to arrive, members of the friend group became concerned.
According to the source, one of the friends contacted Annie — Nancy’s daughter and Savannah Guthrie’s sister — to report that Nancy had not shown up and could not be located.
The source emphasized that Nancy was never scheduled to attend a Tucson church service that day, contrary to some reports, and said the misunderstanding has led to confusion about the circumstances surrounding when she was first reported missing.
INVESTIGATORS RETURN TO NANCY GUTHRIE'S HOME AS SEARCH FOR NBC HOST'S MOTHER CONTINUES
As the search intensified, Savannah Guthrie made an emotional public plea for help, describing the situation as an "hour of desperation" as authorities investigated an alleged ransom note tied to her mother’s disappearance.
Savannah urged anyone with information to come forward as investigators worked against a looming deadline outlined in the note, which authorities have not publicly authenticated.
The final deadline outlined in the alleged ransom note passed Monday night without any proof of life or resolution.

At the same time, the Pima County Sheriff’s Department said it was pursuing what it described as "new leads" in the case, but confirmed investigators have not identified any suspects, persons of interest or vehicles connected to Nancy Guthrie’s disappearance.
"The investigation into Nancy Guthrie’s disappearance remains active and ongoing," a spokesperson for the Pima County Sheriff’s Department confirmed Monday evening.
"We understand the significant public interest in this case; however, investigators need time and space to do their work. If and when relevant information becomes available, it will be shared," the spokesperson added.
EVERYTHING WE KNOW ABOUT NANCY GUTHRIE'S POSSIBLE RANSOM NOTE AS SHERIFF SAYS SHE WAS A
The department said there are no press briefings scheduled at this time, but noted a press conference would be called if a significant development occurs.
Sheriff’s officials also confirmed an active law enforcement presence will continue at the Guthrie residences through the night and into Tuesday as part of the ongoing investigation, including expanded search efforts and follow-up on new leads.
"To preserve the integrity of this criminal investigation, details of that process are not being released at this time," authorities said.
Officials emphasized the scale of the public response so far.
"Thousands of calls have been received across multiple tip lines, and investigators continue to review them," the spokesperson said.
Anyone who believes they have information that may assist investigators is asked to contact 1-800-CALL-FBI, the Pima County Sheriff’s Department non-emergency line at 520-351-4900, or 88-CRIME.
49ers' Keion White suffers non-life-threatening ankle wound in San Francisco shooting after Super Bowl LX
49ers defensive end Keion White was the victim of a non-life-threatening shooting early Monday morning in San Francisco, the team said in a statement.
San Francisco Police Department released a statement saying, at approximately 4:06 a.m., officers "responded to a business located on the 1700 block of Mission Street regarding a shooting."
Upon arrival, officers found White suffering from an apparent gunshot wound in his ankle. It was deemed non-life-threatening, and he was transported to a local hospital.

"A preliminary investigation revealed a verbal altercation occurred between two groups inside a business," the statement continued. "The victim was injured when shots were fired by an unknown suspect. All information is preliminary at this time, and more information will be provided as it becomes available."
The 49ers say White is undergoing surgery at a local hospital, and will provide further updates.
White's agent has not immediately answered a request for comment by Fox News Digital.
SEAHAWKS WIN SUPER BOWL LX AFTER DOMINANT DEFENSIVE PERFORMANCE AGAINST PATRIOTS
The San Francisco Police Department’s Strategic Investigation Unit continues to investigate the shooting, while no arrests have been made at this time.
This incident occurred just hours after the Seattle Seahawks defeated the New England Patriots at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, California — White’s home field.
White was spotted on his Instagram account wearing Patriots gear while attending Super Bowl LX. He played five games with the Patriots this season before joining the 49ers in a trade prior to the NFL deadline.
The 49ers sent a 2026 sixth-round draft pick to the Patriots in exchange for White and a 2026 seventh-round pick.
White collected 1.5 sacks and 12 combined tackles with six quarterback hits over his nine games (two starts) for the 49ers this season. He also recorded a sack and four tackles in two playoff games for San Francisco.
Another 49ers player, wide receiver Ricky Pearsall, was shot through the chest during a robbery attempt in August 2024. Pearsall was forced to miss the first six games of his rookie year due to the injury, which he fully recovered from.

Teen who shared cabin with Anna Kepner faces federal scrutiny in cruise ship death
The stepbrother of a Florida teenager who died aboard a Carnival cruise ship appeared in federal court in Miami on Friday, as investigators continue probing the circumstances surrounding her death.
His appearance in court comes three months after Anna Kepner, an 18-year-old from Titusville, was found dead aboard the Carnival Horizon in November while on a family vacation.
Kepner's 16-year-old stepbrother was seen leaving juvenile court before entering adult federal court Friday, according to FOX 35.
ANNA KEPNER’S CRUISE SHIP DEATH: NEW FLORIDA SUBPOENAS COULD OFFER CLUES INTO HOMICIDE INVESTIGATION
The teenager walked into the courthouse in a camouflage hoodie, his face concealed beneath a low-pulled baseball cap and a hood wrapped tightly around it.
Although the FBI has not publicly identified a suspect or filed charges, filings from a separate family court dispute indicated the 16-year-old was being investigated in Anna Kepner’s death.
CHEERLEADER WHO DIED ABOARD CARNIVAL CRUISE SHIP CREMATED, DEATH CERTIFICATE REVEALS
Kepner’s mother, Heather Wright, told FOX 35 she feels a sense of relief that the case appears to be moving forward and hopes it will finally bring answers.
"Everyday I get on my phone, and first thing in the morning I will look at updates on Anna Kepner’s case," Wright told FOX 35. "All I want is justice for my daughter."
Kepner was discovered dead around 11:15 a.m. on Nov. 7 inside her cabin aboard the cruise ship. Authorities later ruled her death a homicide caused by "mechanical asphyxiation," according to a report.
ANNA KEPNER'S FATHER WANTS STEPSON TO 'FACE THE CONSEQUENCES' IN CRUISE SHIP DEATH CASE
According to investigators, Kepner was found under the bed in her cabin, wrapped in a blanket and covered with life jackets. The cabin was shared with her stepbrother.
The FBI is leading the investigation because Kepner’s death occurred in international waters as the cruise ship was returning to Miami after the weeklong Caribbean trip, according to People Magazine.
The FBI did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital's request for comment.

Judge blocks former NBA Draft prospect from playing for Alabama in potential precedent-setting ruling
A potential groundbreaking decision was made in Tuscaloosa, Alabama, on Monday that could change NCAA eligibility forever.
A judge denied Charles Bediako’s motion for a preliminary injunction that would allow him to continue playing basketball for the Alabama Crimson Tide after he returned despite declaring for the 2023 NBA Draft.
So, after just five games, Bediako’s season is over, per AL.com’s Nick Kelly.

"Common sense won a round today," NCAA president Charlie Baker said in a statement, per Yahoo Sports. "The court saw this for what it is: an attempt by professionals to pivot back to college and crowd out the next generation of students. College sports are for students, not for people who already walked away to go pro and now want to hit the ‘undo’ button at the expense of a teenager’s dream.
"While we’re glad the court upheld the rules our members actually want, one win doesn’t fix the national mess of state laws. It’s time for Congress to stop watching from the sidelines and help us provide some actual stability."
Bediako filed a lawsuit against the NCAA in order to return to his Crimson Tide squad, where he last played during the 2022-23 season. The 7-foot center declared for the NBA Draft after that year, but he went unselected in the two rounds.
JOHN CALIPARI RIPS NCAA AFTER NBA PLAYER ENTERS COLLEGE MID-SEASON: ‘WE DON’T HAVE ANY RULES'
Bediako eventually spent time in the G League over the past three seasons, which includes six games for the Motor City Cruise this season.
However, he was granted a temporary restraining order in January, allowing him to return to Alabama to play for his old team despite the NCAA initially denying the Crimson Tide’s request to have him on the roster.
Bediako isn’t the first player whose attempt to head back to college after going pro hasn’t gone swimmingly.
James Nnaji, who was actually taken in the same draft as Bediako, shocked everyone when he committed to Baylor. While he hadn’t played in an NBA game, Nnaji was the first former draftee to be cleared to play in college.
It started a wave of similar commitments, which include G League players Thierry Darlan and London Johnson heading to Santa Clara and Louisville, though it is for next season.
Alabama head coach Nate Oats told The Athletic that Bediako will remain on scholarship even if he can’t play.
"Charles has done nothing wrong. I will stand by our guys every single time, no matter what the outside says when they’ve done nothing wrong, and Charles has done everything right," Oats told the outlet.
Meanwhile, Arkansas head coach John Calipari unloaded on the current state of college basketball for allowing players to head back into college.
"Does anybody care what this is doing for 17- and 18-year-old American kids?" Calipari questioned in his nearly seven-minute monologue in December 2025. "Do you know what this opportunity has done for them and their families? There aren’t gonna be any high school kids. Who, other than dumb people like me, are gonna recruit high school kids? I get so much satisfaction out of coaching young kids and seeing them grow and make it, and their family’s life changes, that I’m gonna keep doing it. But why would anybody else, if you can get NBA players, G-League players, guys that are 28 years old, guys from Europe — do we really know their transcript? Do we have somebody over there? Do we really know their birth certificate? Or don’t we?
"If you put your name in the draft, I don’t care if you’re from Russia and you stay in the draft, you can’t play college basketball. ‘Well, that’s only for American kids.’ What? If your name is in that draft, and you got drafted, you can’t play college because that’s our rule. ‘Yeah, but that’s only for American kids.’ OK. OK."
But Alabama feels that it has been done wrong by the NCAA considering players have been allowed in other programs to play this season despite going pro, Nnaji being an example.
"I respectfully ask the Court to uphold the NCAA eligibility rules challenged in this case, which are essential to the integrity of college sports, to the educational mission they serve, and to the opportunities they provide for current and future student-athletes," SEC commissioner Greg Sankey said in a four-page affidavit filed last week.
The university added a statement following the court’s ruling, per Yahoo Sports.
"While we understand the concern around competitive and developmental implications of former professional athletes participating in college, it is important to acknowledge reality," the statement read.
"The NCAA has granted eligibility to over 100 current men’s basketball players with prior professional experience in the G League or overseas. Granting eligibility to some former professionals and not to others is what creates the havoc we are currently in and why consistency from decisions-makers is so desperately needed."
The Crimson Tide went 3-2 with Bediako back on their bench.

Ronald Reagan's granddaughter, Kevin McCarthy honor late president's legacy on his 115th birthday
Hundreds gathered Friday at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library to honor the late president on what would have been his 115th birthday — a tribute especially poignant with the death of his son Michael Reagan earlier this year.
Among those in attendance was Reagan’s granddaughter, Ashley Reagan, who said the annual commemoration helps maintain the legacy her father Michael spent much of his life preserving.
"Even with his passing recently, it was very important to my whole family to make sure we were here to honor my grandpa and his legacy and everything it represents," she said.
"What he lived for was making sure that my grandpa's legacy lived on," she said. "So now, it's carrying on my grandpa's legacy and my dad's legacy."
MICHAEL REAGAN, ELDER SON OF FORMER PRESIDENT RONALD REAGAN, DIES AT 80
The annual commemoration in Simi Valley, California drew family members, political leaders and longtime admirers of the former president.
Fox News Digital spoke exclusively with Ashley Reagan and former House Speaker Kevin McCarthy to reflect on Reagan’s legacy and the relevance of his leadership in today’s deeply divided political climate.
Ashley spoke candidly about her father following his death on Jan. 4 after a battle with cancer. He was 80.
"He was definitely a big personality. He spoke his mind. You always knew where he stood with politics as well," Ashley said. "He was somebody that always spoke the truth."
Ashley said her father, a nationally syndicated radio talk show host, shared the ability to connect with people from all walks of life, "no matter who they were."
"I think it came from a lot of years of watching and observing and kind of watching how my grandpa interacted with people, how he communicated with people and his communication wasn't based on who somebody was," she explained. "It’s why he was able to accomplish what he was able to accomplish when he was in office."
Ashley also emphasized that the version of Ronald Reagan Americans saw on the national stage as president was no different than the "grandpa" she knew at home, characterizing him as the "heart of the earth."
"The person that you saw was the person he was with us," Ashley told Fox News Digital. "We rode horses with him; we went to his house and had lunch with him all the time, and he was just, he was Grandpa."
When speaking about how Reagan would perceive today’s political climate, both Ashley and McCarthy said it bears similarities to the turbulent period Reagan faced when he took office in the 1980s, theorizing that history is repeating itself.
"I think it mirrors when he took over in the '80s," Ashley said. "I think if you go back in history and you kind of look at where the country was at before he came into office, it mirrors that time frame."
"High inflation, America embarrassed what happened with our hostages, the challenge that you had a sitting president believe the best days were behind us… A lot of similarities," McCarthy added.
Ashley said her grandfather would have emphasized unity, particularly at a time when political divisions run so deep.
"I think he would encourage us to reach across the aisle a little more, but unfortunately, I think we're watching history repeat itself in a lot of ways," she said.
"He was all about unity, and he always said the only way you can get things accomplished is by reaching across the aisle and working with the other side. And he was able to accomplish so much because he didn't just focus on people that agreed with him, but he worked with everybody," she added.
McCarthy, a keynote speaker at Reagan's 115th birthday commemoration, told Fox News Digital that the former president played a big influence in determining his political philosophy.
"I grew up in a family of all Democrats," the speaker said. "He and Abraham Lincoln are the reason why I'm a Republican. I rejected what I heard at home."
"I remember in elementary school watching Jimmy Carter tell me the best days were behind me and he [Reagan] walks up to a podium, say no pastels, fly the bold colors, and go to that shiny city on the hill. That's who I wanted to follow. And that's what brought me to the Republican Party," McCarthy added.
The speaker also described Reagan as a "happy conservative" who believed strong principles brought more freedom — the kind of leader, he said, America needs today.
"He actually welcomed more people to the party," McCarthy said. "We had what we called were the Reagan Democrats. These people just got educated through him and said, ‘I wanna be with him. I want America to be better.’ Those are the type of candidates we should look for."
Ashley said part of how she continues the Reagan legacy is through her work with Young America’s Foundation (YAF), which operates the Reagan Ranch in Santa Barbara, California – a site she explained as deeply personal to the family.
"With my dad's passing, it only makes us more involved in that sort of thing because we don't want to miss that connection with Ronald Reagan," she said.
In a statement to Fox News Digital, YAF's President, former Wisconsin governor Scott Walker said, "Young people still draw inspiration from President Reagan’s words on freedom. Drawing attention to his birthday draws attention to his remarkable influence even today."
Appeals court backs Noem move to end TPS protections for Nepal, Honduras, Nicaragua
A federal appeals court in San Francisco granted a stay allowing the government to proceed with terminating Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for immigrants from Nepal, Honduras and Nicaragua.
The reliably liberal Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals issued an order freezing a lower court ruling that would have vacated Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Kristi Noem’s decision to end the protections.
The court found the government was likely to succeed on the grounds that the DHS decision was not "arbitrary or capricious," suggesting that the decision-making process was rational.
"The government is likely to prevail in its argument that the Secretary’s decision-making process in terminating TPS for Honduras, Nicaragua, and Nepal was not arbitrary and capricious," court documents said.
Last year, Noem sought to terminate refugee status for the three long-protected countries, arguing that under TPS, the government must check if the initial reasons for their protection still apply.
Nepal, Honduras, and Nicaragua all originally received TPS protections due to specific environmental disasters. Nepal was designated in 2015 following a massive earthquake, while Honduras and Nicaragua received protections in 1999 after Hurricane Mitch.
Noem’s chief spokeswoman, Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin, previously noted last August that TPS protections were always intended to be temporary.
FED COURT OF APPEALS GRANTS TRUMP ADMIN PAUSE ON PROTECTIONS FOR 60K IMMIGRANTS
Attorney General Pam Bondi praised the decision, saying it would allow the Trump administration to continue its immigration policies and deport certain immigrants.
"This is a crucial legal win from @TheJusticeDept attorneys that helps clear the way for President Trump’s continued deportations," she said.
"As the court found, ‘the government is likely to prevail in its argument’ that ending Temporary Protected Status for some immigrants is sound and lawful policy. We are proud to represent the Trump Administration in court every day."
Noem's ruling was previously challenged by the National TPS Alliance, who argued it was "arbitrary and capricious" and violated the Administrative Procedure Act.
On December 31, 2025, a San Francisco district court judge sided with the plaintiffs and canceled Secretary Noem's termination order.
VENEZUELAN MIGRANTS, PROGRESSIVE GROUP SUE TRUMP ADMIN AFTER NOEM NIXES BIDEN-ERA ‘PROTECTED STATUS’
The Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals panel assigned to the case included Judges Hawkins, Callahan and Miller. Judge Hawkins was appointed by Bill Clinton, Judge Callahan by George W. Bush and Judge Miller by President Donald Trump.
While Judges Callahan and Miller appear to have authored the main analysis, Judge Hawkins wrote a separate concurring opinion. He agreed with the result based on recent Supreme Court guidance, but said he would not rule on the plaintiffs' claims at this early stage.
US military launches deadly strike on drug-trafficking vessel in the Pacific, leaving 2 dead and 1 survivor
The United States Southern Command (SOUTHCOM) announced Monday that the U.S. military carried out an operation targeting a suspected drug-trafficking vessel in the Eastern Pacific, leaving two people dead and one survivor.
"On Feb. 9, at the direction of #SOUTHCOM commander Gen. Francis L. Donovan, Joint Task Force Southern Spear conducted a lethal kinetic strike on a vessel operated by Designated Terrorist Organizations," the joint command said in a post on X.
Following the strike, the unit said it immediately notified the U.S. Coast Guard to activate a search-and-rescue system for the lone survivor who escaped the lethal attack.
Aerial footage released by the agency shows a vessel halting shortly after getting struck by the weapon.
US FORCES KILL TWO SUSPECTED NARCO-TERRORISTS IN EASTERN PACIFIC LETHAL STRIKE OPERATION
"Intelligence confirmed the vessel was transiting along known narco-trafficking routes in the Eastern Pacific and was engaged in narco-trafficking operations," the unit said.
Monday’s strike marks the third U.S. attack this year since the campaign began last September.
The U.S. has carried out dozens of strikes in the Eastern Pacific and Caribbean to dismantle narco-terrorist networks operated by designated terrorist organizations, including Venezuela’s Tren de Aragua and Colombia’s Ejército de Liberación Nacional.
Last Thursday, U.S. forces killed two suspected narco-terrorists in a similar "lethal kinetic strike" targeting a vessel officials said was operated by a designated terrorist organization.
In January, U.S. forces again killed two more and left one lone survivor who escaped the attack.
SOUTHCOM, which is responsible for military operations in Central America, South America and the Caribbean, has reportedly targeted a range of vessels, including submersibles, fishing boats and high-speed vessels in the past six months.
Jake Paul breaks down in tears as fiancée Jutta Leerdam shatters Olympic speedskating record
As Dutch speedskater Jutta Leerdam broke an Olympic record in her gold-medal-winning run on Monday, her fiancée Jake Paul couldn’t contain his emotions.
He was crying for joy.
Paul was on his feet in the stands, bawling his eyes out as Leerdam didn’t just live up to the expectations of winning gold at the 2026 Milan Cortina games — she also broke the 1,000-meter speed skating record with a time of 1:12.31.

Leerdam broke the previous record set by teammate Femke Kok, who notched her time just moments before Leerdam’s run.
While the 27-year-old skater was brought to tears after seeing her final time, Paul was in the stands doing the same, surrounded by her family, who also couldn’t help but cry tears of joy.
This marked Leerdam’s first-ever gold medal at the Olympics and her second overall medal after winning silver in Beijing in 2022.
JAKE PAUL TAKES ISSUE WITH BAD BUNNY ‘OPENLY HATING AMERICA’ AMID ICE CRITICISM
This one was extra special considering Leerdam’s surprising fall during the Dutch Olympic Trials, which forced her out of the race. There were talks that her spot at Milan Cortina was in doubt, but she made the Dutch team in the end.
It was the right move.
Before Leerdam’s record-breaking run, Kok raced to an impressive 1:12.59 time, which ultimately resulted in a silver medal for the Netherlands. Kok is also expected to be in contention for the gold medal in the 500-meter race later in the Games.
Rounding out the podium in the 1,000-meter sprint was Japan’s Miho Takagi, who finished third with a time of 1:13.95.
As for the Americans, Erin Jackson was in first place with a 1:15.00 time. However, as the skaters kept going, she kept falling down the list.
Brittany Bowe, Jackson’s teammate, just finished in fourth to miss out on a medal with a time of 1:14.55.
Paul, the polarizing boxer, has been no stranger to showing emotion. And while this was pure joy, he fired off a tweet that appeared angry when talking about another massive sporting event back in the States.
Paul called Super Bowl LX halftime show performer Bad Bunny a "fake citizen" ahead of the Puerto Rican’s performance at Levi’s Stadium on Sunday night. Paul took exception with Bad Bunny due to the Grammy Award-winning artist speaking out against things like U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).
"To clarify: I wasn’t calling anyone a ‘fake citizen’ because they’re from Puerto Rico. I live in Puerto Rico, and I love Puerto Rico," Paul said in his most recent tweet, clarifying what he wrote on Sunday night. "I have used my platform to support Puerto Rico time and time again and will always do so. But if you’re publicly criticizing ICE who are doing their job and openly hating on America, I’m going to speak on it. Period. That’s the same reason I called out Hunter Hess.
"If you benefit from a country and the platform it gives you, but publicly disrespect it at the same time, that’s what I mean by being a fake citizen. And I agree love is more powerful than hate. Love America."
Paul and Leerdam announced their engagement in March 2025 with a joint Instagram post.

Trump says he will block US-Canada Bridge unless Canada negotiates on trade
President Donald Trump on Monday threatened to prevent the opening of a bridge that will connect Michigan and Canada unless Ottawa negotiates with Washington on tariffs and the exclusion of American products.
In a lengthy post on Truth Social, Trump accused Canada of taking advantage of the United States with unfair trade practices and cozying up to China.
In an effort to bring Canada to the negotiating table, Trump said he would not allow the opening of the Gordie Howe International Bridge, which is named after the legendary Canadian ice hockey player who played for the Detroit Red Wings. The bridge, which is currently under construction, will connect Detroit and Windsor, Ontario.
"I will not allow this bridge to open until the United States is fully compensated for everything we have given them, and also, importantly, Canada treats the United States with the Fairness and Respect that we deserve," Trump wrote.
CANADIAN PM CARNEY FIRES BACK AT TRUMP OVER CLAIM THAT 'CANADA LIVES BECAUSE OF THE UNITED STATES'
"We will start negotiations, IMMEDIATELY. With all that we have given them, we should own, perhaps, at least one half of this asset," he added.
He cited the removal of U.S. alcohol products from Canadian liquor store shelves in Ontario.
Trump has previously accused Canada of taking advantage of U.S. trade policies. In his post, Trump said Canada has moved forward with building the bridge with "virtually no U.S. content."
He blamed former President Barack Obama for "stupidly" giving Canada a waiver so they could get around the Buy American Act, which mandates federal agencies purchase materials that are manufactured in the U.S. and made mostly from U.S.-produced components.
Trump accused Canada of not using American products, including steel.
"Now, the Canadian Government expects me, as President of the United States, to PERMIT them to just ‘take advantage of America!’ What does the United States of America get — Absolutely NOTHING!" he wrote. "Ontario won't even put U.S. spirits, beverages, and other alcoholic products, on their shelves, they are absolutely prohibited from doing so and now, on top of everything else, Prime Minister Carney wants to make a deal with China — which will eat Canada alive. We’ll just get the leftovers! I don't think so."
By cozying up to China, Canada would be risking its national sport: ice hockey, Trump said.
"The first thing China will do is terminate ALL Ice Hockey being played in Canada, and permanently eliminate The Stanley Cup," he said.
Fox News Digital has reached out to the Canadian Embassy in Washington, D.C.
Texas Democrat blasted for telling Latino, Black, Asian people to unite against 'oppressor,' 'take over’ US
The leader of Democrats in the Texas House of Representatives, state Rep. Gene Wu, is facing conservative backlash after a clip resurfaced of him calling on various racial groups to unite against their common "oppressor."
The resurfaced viral clip was from a Dec. 31, 2024, episode of the "Define American" podcast with Antonio Vargas titled, "In this Texas District, 1/3 of Residents are Undocumented."
Vargas argued that the future of the United States will be decided by Texas, asking Wu to give him the big picture. Wu said that one of the powerful forces driving modern politics, particularly regarding immigration, is that "White people" in America are concerned about becoming a racial and political minority.
"The scary thing for me is that what is driving this newest round of anti-immigrant sentiment is purely a sense of White nationalism," Wu said.
"That there is a sense of, ‘America really just belongs to White people,’ that this was that a lot of people believe that God gave America to White people to rule, and that any time that immigrants, minorities make progress in this country, that that is seen as a slight against them," he continued.
Both agreed that White people are already or almost a racial minority in Texas, with Wu clarifying that for now, they are still the majority of people who are able to vote. The host later asked Wu to talk about his majority-Latino district and the relationship between the Latino and Asian communities, particularly between those of both groups who are immigrants.
"I think you've hit exactly the right point," Wu said. "It's not just Latinos. It's not just Asians. It's not just African Americans. It's everybody. Right? We, our country and the forces that be, the powers that be, have spent tremendous time, effort and money to make sure that those groups are never united, that they always see each other as enemies, as competitors, without ever realizing that they share one thing in common, that their oppressors all are the same. The oppression comes from one place.
"I always tell people the day the Latino, African-American, Asian and other communities realize that they are — that they share the same oppressor is the day we start winning, because we are the majority in this country now," he continued. "We have the ability to take over this country and to do what is needed for everyone and to make things fair."
The 2024 comments resurfaced on social media, causing Wu to face backlash from fellow Texans.
"Gene Wu is a radical racist who hates millions of Texans just because they're [W]hite. This is who the modern Democrat Party is," Texas Attorney General and Republican Senate candidate Ken Paxton wrote.
Former Texas GOP Chairman Matt Rinaldi wrote, "This clip is being widely circulated for its advocacy for [W]hite genocide. People need to realize that this isn’t some random Democrat backbencher. This is the Texas House Democrat caucus LEADER."
"The Democrat party is built on bigotry," Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, replied.
Rep. Chip Roy, also of Texas, called on Wu to resign.
"Unlike many Democrats, he admits his racism against [W]hite people and call to ‘take over this country.’ He should resign or the TX House should strip him of any power," he wrote. "Another reason to pass my PAUSE Act. Stop importing people who hate you."
After the backlash, Wu appeared to try to backtrack and claim that he was not referring to White people, but Republicans.
The Houston Chronicle's Evan Mintz, reporting on the viral clip from the longer interview, noted that "nowhere in the clip does Wu talk about [W]hite people."

However, Wu had referred to "White people"and their racial anxiety of becoming a minority in America before the segment shown in the clip.
"Just to clarify, I even called up Wu to ask who, exactly, he meant by 'shared oppressor,'" Mintz wrote. "His answer: Republicans."
"It is undeniable that Republicans have spent the past 50 years beating down communities," Wu told the writer.
"To their credit, some Republicans engaged with what Wu actually said, swiping at him for dividing the American people into subgroups in the first place — which, yes, he did do," Mintz reported.
Wu's office didn't immediately respond to a request for comment.
