National Pulse Editor-in-Chief Raheem Kassam guest hosted Saturday morning’s War Room episodes with Stephen K. Bannon, discussing a broad range of topics from last night’s Rudy Giuliani raid by the feds, ongoing predictions for Ukraine, the 2024 election, and the importance of getting away from corporate America’s poisoned food and drug supply.

Hour 2:
The Supreme Court’s decision to invalidate Louisiana’s congressional map could reshape future House elections by limiting the use of race in districting.
| PULSE POINTS |
❓ WHAT HAPPENED: The Supreme Court struck down a congressional map in Louisiana on Wednesday, ruling against the use of race as a primary factor in creating a black-majority and almost certainly Democrat-voting district. This decision challenges the lower courts’ mandate for a second majority-black district in the state under the Voting Rights Act. 📰 DETAIL: The case, involving Louisiana v. Callais and Robinson v. Callais, was initially taken up during the 2024-25 term, with the Court considering both the 14th and 15th Amendments. The Trump administration and state officials argued that the map constituted a racial gerrymander, violating the 14th Amendment’s equal protection clause. 💬 KEY QUOTE: “If these were white Democrats, there’s no reason to think they would have a second district, none,” stated principal deputy solicitor general Hashim Mooppan during oral arguments. 🎯 IMPACT: The ruling could allow Republican officials to redraw up to 19 congressional districts in the South and Midwest to remove majority-minority districts, likely favoring the GOP. However, the timing of today’s decision may limit its impact on the November midterms, where Democrats are expected to have an advantage. |

A knife-wielding attacker targeted two Jewish men in Golders Green, London, before being intercepted and detained.
| PULSE POINTS |
❓ WHAT HAPPENED: Two Jewish men have been stabbed in Golders Green, North London, in what appears to be an anti-Semitic attack. The suspect, now in custody, allegedly shouted “Allah Akbar” during the attacks. 📍 WHEN & WHERE: The attacks took place in Golders Green, known for its large Jewish community, at approximately 11:15 AM on Wednesday. 💬 KEY QUOTE: “The attacks on British Jews are an attack on Britain itself. It is unconscionable that Jews are being targeted in this way.” – Sarah Sackman, Member of Parliament for Finchley and Golders Green. 📺 DETAIL: On Wednesday, two Jewish men, aged 30 and 70, were stabbed in Golders Green in the London borough of Barnet by a 45-year-old man. Released video footage shows the suspect stabbing a man at a bus stop and chasing another near a synagogue. Both victims have been hospitalized and are reportedly stable. The attacker was subdued using a taser and arrested by police after being stopped by Shomrim, volunteer security patrols composed of members of the Jewish community. The attack took place just a few minutes away from a synagogue that was targeted in a recent arson attack. 🎯 IMPACT: British Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer has described the attack as “anti-Semitic.” Authorities are investigating potential links to foreign influence, especially from Iran and its proxies, as well as Islamist extremism more broadly. 📺 FLASHBACK: Other recent anti-Semitic attacks in Golders Green have included arson attacks against local synagogues and Hatzalah, a Jewish volunteer ambulance service. Earlier this week, it was revealed that the Iranian embassy was recruiting Iranian expatriates in Britain to “give [their] lives in battle.” Meanwhile, the Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan, insists that online commentary describing the British capital as an increasingly dangerous place is “misinformation” and has called on tech firms and government authorities to clamp down on it. |

Reform Party leader Nigel Farage discloses a firebomb attack on his home, highlighting ongoing security threats and the lack of state protection.
| PULSE POINTS |
❓ WHAT HAPPENED: Nigel Farage, leader of Britain’s Reform Party, has revealed that his home was targeted in a firebomb attack early last year. The incendiary device was pushed through his letterbox, causing damage but fortunately burning out in the porch. 📰 DETAIL: Police identified no suspects in the attack. Farage has faced multiple threats and attacks over the years, with an Afghan who entered Britain on a small boat being convicted of threatening to kill him in October, and a leftist agitator being arrested after hurling cement at him on the campaign trail in 2024. However, the British state has been unwilling to provide him with adequate protection, forcing him to rely on private benefactors to cover his security needs. 💬 KEY QUOTE: “I have tried and failed in the past to get security funded by the Home Office and I don’t think the state will ever help me. I’m very much on my own and will be for the rest of my life, and I have to face up to that grim reality.” – Nigel Farage 🎯 IMPACT: The attack underscores the ongoing security threats faced by Farage amid a worsening climate of left-wing political violence. Notably, Farage’s friend and ally, President Donald J. Trump, was the subject of a record third assassination attempt in Washington, D.C., on Saturday, with the White House blaming Democrat officials and liberal journalists and commentators for fostering a “cult of hatred” that encourages “crazy people to do crazy things.” |

Revised projections from Britain’s Office for National Statistics (ONS) reveal that the country’s population growth will depend entirely on immigration, as births are set to fall below deaths each year.
| PULSE POINTS |
❓ WHAT HAPPENED: Britain’s Office for National Statistics (ONS) has projected that Britain’s population growth over the next three decades will rely entirely on immigration as deaths are expected to outpace births annually. The ONS estimates a population increase of 1.7 million between 2024 and 2034, reaching 71 million. 📺 DETAIL: The report highlights that previous surges in immigration have temporarily boosted population growth, but that the United Kingdom could face long-term demographic decline without sustained mass migration. In February, Reform Party leader Nigel Farage backed comments by Manchester United owner and industrial tycoon Sir Jim Ratcliffe suggesting Britain is being “colonized,” saying, “One million people living in this country don’t speak any English at all. Four million people living in this country barely speak passable English… big areas of our towns and cities have been changed into something completely different to what they were.” 🎯 IMPACT: The demographic shift will result in a country where natives rapidly decline, potentially become an older minority, while immigrants replace them, fundamentally changing the character of the country. Such a shift would be the largest demographic change in Britain in over a thousand years. 📈 DATA: By 2034, children under 16 will account for just 15.5 percent of the population, many from ethnic minority backgrounds, while those over retirement age will rise to 14.2 million. |
The population of the UK is projected to increase by 1.7 million over the first 10 years of our latest population projections (2024-based):
• from an estimated 69.3 million in mid-2024
• to an estimated 71.0 million in mid-2034Read more ➡️ https://t.co/VjAB15WGsI pic.twitter.com/md2qrtxcYC

A new Gallup poll reveals that over half of Americans feel their financial situation is worsening, citing inflation, rising gas prices, and long-term financial concerns.
| PULSE POINTS |
❓ WHAT HAPPENED: According to a new Gallup poll, more than half of Americans believe their financial situation is getting worse. The poll reveals that Americans are worried about the rising costs of essentials eating into their savings, creating both short-term and long-term financial concerns. 📺 DETAIL: A new Gallup poll conducted in April has revealed that 55 percent of Americans believe their financial situation is getting worse. This is the highest percentage recorded since the survey began in 2001. Rising costs of essentials like housing, groceries, and gas are driving financial anxiety, while cost pressures from healthcare, childcare, and education are further tightening budgets. The polling also showed that Americans’ financial concerns are both short-term and long-term, with 62 percent of respondents saying they feared not having enough money for retirement, and 67 percent of respondents fearing that they may outlive their retirement savings. Furthermore, 28 percent of respondents said they were worried about credit card debt, up 11 percent from 2021. 💬 KEY QUOTE: “Overall, affordability concerns dominate this year’s list, with combined mentions of inflation, energy, housing and health care costs—along with college expenses, transportation costs and childcare—far exceeding all other types of financial concerns.” — Gallup 🎯 IMPACT: The findings underscore the economic pressures facing American households. As Americans focus on covering the essentials, consumer spending is likely to drop, reflecting data published earlier this month in the Consumer Sentiment Index, which showed that U.S. consumer confidence is at an all-time low. Gas prices have spiked, courtesy of the ongoing Iran war and, in particular, due to the closure of the Strait of Hormuz, a vital passage for exporting energy and fertilizer globally. |

A Democrat candidate for the Indiana State Senate faces drug and resisting law enforcement charges after he was arrested while allegedly high on cocaine during canvassing for his campaign.
| PULSE POINTS |
❓ WHAT HAPPENED: Andrew Dezelan, a Democrat candidate for Indiana State Senate District 31, was arrested on charges of cocaine possession and resisting law enforcement. Police responded to reports of a man canvassing door-to-door in Fishers, Indiana, and later discovered drugs in his vehicle after noticing signs of impairment. 📍 WHEN & WHERE: The incident occurred Sunday evening, with Dezelan later booked into the Hamilton County Jail. 📺 DETAIL: Officers responded to reports of a man going door-to-door and later found Dezelan sitting in his car, where they observed signs of impairment, including erratic behavior, rapid speech, and sweating. When asked for identification, Dezelan allegedly became agitated, attempted to leave, and resisted officers, leading to a brief struggle before he was taken into custody. Police said a subsequent search uncovered cocaine in his vehicle, resulting in charges of possession of cocaine and resisting law enforcement. Dezelan, 38, is one of four candidates seeking the Democratic nomination for Indiana’s Senate District 31 in an upcoming primary election. He was booked into the Hamilton County Jail following the incident. The case remains pending as Dezelan faces both felony and misdemeanor charges. 🎯 IMPACT: This arrest raises questions about Dezelan’s fitness for public office and could influence the Democratic primary race for Senate District 31. |

The Virginia Supreme Court is maintaining a lower court block on the certification of the state’s redistricted electoral map, prolonging the legal battle over its constitutionality.
| PULSE POINTS |
❓ WHAT HAPPENED: The Virginia Supreme Court has declined to lift a block on certifying the results of a referendum on changing the state’s electoral map in a manner that favors the Democrats. The results were initially blocked by a lower court, citing concerns over the referendum’s constitutionality. 📺 DETAIL: On Tuesday, the Supreme Court of Virginia denied a motion put forward by Jay Jones, Attorney General of Virginia (D), to overturn a ruling disallowing the certification of the results of the state’s redistricting referendum. In a state-wide vote last week, voters in Virginia narrowly approved a measure to redraw its congressional map in a way that heavily favors the incumbent Democrats. However, following the results, Tazewell County Circuit Court blocked its implementation. The lower court decided the referendum and the law authorizing it were unconstitutional, and that the process and ballot language used were legally flawed. Democrats made a legal push to get the results certified, with attorneys Richard Hawkins and Matthew Seligman, along with Solicitor General Tillman Breckenridge, putting the case. 💬 KEY QUOTE: “The current attorney general of Virginia… in his public statements; the only defense I’ve heard him offer is the ‘will of the people’… and his own lawyer in court today says that was irrelevant,” commented Ken Cuccinelli, former Attorney General of Virginia. 🎯 IMPACT: The Virginia Supreme Court’s decision delays the implementation of the Democrats’ redistricting plan, creating uncertainty ahead of the midterm elections in November. The decision by Virginia’s Supreme Court comes at a time when multiple states, such as California, Texas, and Florida, are scrambling to redraw their congressional maps before the midterms. |

Former FBI Director James Comey faces an arrest warrant, not merely a court summons, following an indictment for allegedly threatening President Donald J. Trump in a social media post.
| PULSE POINTS |
❓ WHAT HAPPENED: An indictment against former Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) Director James Comey has been published, and it is confirmed that he is facing a court-issued arrest warrant, not merely a court summons. 📰 DETAIL: The indictment, filed in the Eastern District of North Carolina, accuses Comey of posting a photo on Instagram of seashells arranged to form the numbers “8647” as a threat to Trump. To ‘86’ someone in hospitality and organized crime slang is to remove or kill them, while ‘47’ is understood as referring to Donald J. Trump as the 47th U.S. President. While Comey deleted the photo shortly after uploading it last May, claiming he did not realize that “some folks associate those numbers with violence,” Trump did not accept this explanation, responding, “If you’re the FBI Director, and you don’t know what that meant… That meant ‘assassination,’ and it says it loud and clear.” 🎯 IMPACT: The indictment represents a significant legal challenge for Comey, and the arrest warrant is a personal embarrassment. Notably, this comes after Trump faced a record third assassination attempt at the White House Correspondents’ Association (WHCA) dinner in Washington, D.C., on Saturday, which the White House has attributed to figures like Comey fostering a “cult of hatred” against the President. 💬 KEY QUOTE: “On or about May 15, 2025, in the Eastern District of North Carolina, the defendant, JAMES BRIEN COMEY JR, did knowingly and willfully make a threat to take the life of, and to inflict bodily harm upon, the President of the United States, in that he publicly posted a photograph on the internet social media site Instagram which depicted seashells arranged in a pattern making out ’86 47′, which a reasonable recipient who is familiar with the circumstances would interpret as a serious expression of an intent to do harm to the President of the United States.” – Grand jury indictment against James Comey 👀 FLASHBACK: Comey previously escaped charges for lying to Congress, after the case was dismissed due to the supposedly improper appointment of the interim U.S. Attorney involved. |

King Charles III highlighted the strong ties between the United Kingdom and the United States while condemning a recent assassination attempt against President Donald J. Trump in an address to a joint session of Congress on Tuesday.
| PULSE POINTS |
❓ WHAT HAPPENED: King Charles III addressed the U.S. Congress to mark the 250th anniversary of the United States’ founding and to emphasize the historical ties between the United States and the United Kingdom on Tuesday. He also condemned an assassination attempt against President Donald J. Trump on Saturday, saying, “We meet… in the aftermath of the incident not far from this great building that sought to harm the leadership of your nation… Let me say with unshakeable resolve that such acts of violence will never succeed.” 💬 KEY QUOTE: “Standing here today, it is hard not to feel the weight of history on my shoulder, because the modern relationship between our two nations and our own peoples spans not merely 250 years but over four centuries.” – King Charles III 🎯 IMPACT: The King’s address reinforced the strong historical and cultural heritage the two nations share. The British monarch echoed sentiments expressed by President Trump during welcoming remarks earlier in the day and on a prior visit to Britain, saying, “As President Trump himself observed during his state visit to Britain last autumn, the bond of kinship and identity between America and the United Kingdom is priceless and eternal; it is irreplicable and unbreakable.” 📰 DETAIL: King Charles III also touched on the importance of the Christian faith as a guiding principle, saying, “The Christian faith is a firm anchor and daily inspiration that guides us, not only personally, but together as members of our community,” and adding, “I am mindful that we are still in the season of Easter, the season that most strengthens my hope.” He concluded his remarks by telling his hosts, “And so to the United States, on your 250th birthday, let our two countries rededicate ourselves to each other, in the selfless service of our peoples and of all the peoples of the world. God bless the United States, and God bless the United Kingdom.” |

Former FBI Director James Comey faces a second indictment, this time over a social media post appearing to threaten President Donald J. Trump.
| PULSE POINTS |
❓ WHAT HAPPENED: Former Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) Director James Comey has been indicted for a second time, this time over a social media post featuring seashells arranged to form the message ‘8647.’ To ‘86’ someone is to remove or kill them in the slang of the hospitality industry and organized crime, while ‘47’ almost certainly refers to Donald J. Trump as the 47th U.S. President. 📰 DETAIL: Comey, who posted the ‘8647’ message last May, has claimed the post was innocuous, intimating that he simply found the seashells arranged like that on the beach and that he “didn’t realize some folks associate those numbers with violence,” despite assuming they had a “political” meaning. Trump rejected this explanation at the time, saying, “If you’re the FBI Director, and you don’t know what that meant… That meant ‘assassination,’ and it says it loud and clear,” 🎯 IMPACT: This indictment represents a renewed effort by the Trump administration to prosecute Comey, who previously escaped charges related to false statements and obstruction of a congressional proceeding. Notably, the indictment follows a third assassination attempt against Trump at the White House Correspondents’ Association (WHCA) dinner in Washington, D.C., on Saturday, 💬 KEY QUOTE: “He knew exactly what that meant; a child knows what that meant.” – Trump on Comey’s ‘8647’ post. |
