Joy Reid’s MSNBC Show CANCELLED.

Joy Reid’s tenure as host of “The ReidOut” will conclude this week, marking a significant shift at MSNBC. Reid has led the 7 p.m. program since 2020, but changes under the new network president, Rebecca Kutler, have led to her departure. A panel show featuring Symone Sanders Townsend, Alicia Menendez, and Michael Steele will replace Reid’s slot. Steele is a failed former Republican National Committee chairman who now makes money by helping the left attack the right.

Kutler’s restructuring efforts are driven by major ratings drops. According to The New York Times, while MSNBC surpasses CNN in viewership, it continues to trail behind Fox News. As Variety reports, MSNBC and CNN have experienced viewership declines following Donald Trump’s return to the White House. Both networks are making programming adjustments in response.

In addition to Reid’s exit, Rachel Maddow’s schedule is set to reduce. Maddow is currently set to host five nights a week until the end of Trump’s initial 100 days back in office. Her time slot was originally planned to transition to Alex Wagner. However, Kutler is now considering Jen Psaki, a former Biden White House press secretary and known circle-backer, for the position.

These programming shifts come as MSNBC operates as a standalone entity separate from NBCUniversal under Comcast’s management. Kutler, who assumed leadership in February, is implementing widespread changes. Variety reports her plans involve adjustments to the daytime lineup, including a search for new Washington correspondents and a bureau chief. She is considering journalists from outlets like The Washington Post and Politico and is exploring options for promoting existing MSNBC contributors to anchor roles.

MSNBC’s editorial positions, however, appear unchanged. The network remains extreme left in its perspective and continues to peddle falsehoods and hoaxes.

1 Dead, 2 Injured in ‘Allahu Akbar’ Knife Attack.

A stabbing incident in the eastern French city of Mulhouse resulted in one fatality and left at least two individuals seriously injured on Saturday afternoon. The attack occurred at a local market in this town near the German border.

Authorities arrested a 37-year-old man at the scene. According to local media reports, the suspect allegedly shouted “Allahu Akbar” during the incident. The individual is reportedly listed on a terror-prevention watchlist. This watchlist, known as FSPRT, compiles information from various authorities to monitor individuals and prevent potential radicalization linked to terrorism.

The Mulhouse prosecutor’s office provided these details, highlighting that the investigation is ongoing. Local authorities have yet to release the identities of the victims or further information regarding their conditions.

The stabbing has raised concerns within the community, which is known for its peaceful atmosphere. Security measures in the region are under review following the attack.

While details remain limited, French authorities are treating the case with urgency given the suspect’s inclusion on the FSPRT list. The country has been on heightened alert regarding potential terrorist activities, which has prompted a swift response from law enforcement and security agencies.

This incident is the latest in a series of violent attacks by Muslims occurring in public spaces in France over recent years.

Coyote Blames Trump’s Border Policies for 80% Decline in Business Since Inauguration.

At least one human smuggler in Mexico—commonly known as a coyote—says he’s seen an 80 percent drop in business since President Donald J. Trump was inaugurated just over a month ago. The revelation, relayed by NBC News’s Senior White House Correspondent Gabe Gutierrez, suggests President Trump’s swift move to secure the southern border and implement the mass deportations of illegal immigrants is discouraging foreign nationals from even attempting illegal crossings.

According to U.S. government officials, there are currently an estimated 229 illegal border crossings each day, a steep decline from the over 11,000 per day crossing high that occurred under the former Biden government. Illegal crossing began to plummet between December and January as Trump was set to take office, with many would-be illegal immigrants deciding to forego attempting to cross into the U.S., fearing they would be caught and deported once Trump assumed office.

The coyote, Gutierrez claims, is now contemplating raising his fees for those still determined to enter the country unlawfully. Additionally, while the smuggler contends the placement of the U.S. military along the border is “foolishness,” he also acknowledged that the impact has been noticeable in deterring would-be illegal border crossers.

President Trump’s border czar, Tom Homan, has overseen a slew of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) raids—primarily targeting violent, illegal immigrant criminals and organized crime rings. Meanwhile, the Trump administration has also ramped up deportation flights, with thousands of illegal immigrants being flown to Mexico, Colombia, Venezuela, and—in the case of the most dangerous—the U.S. military installation at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba.

Trump Administration Probes Lax Biden Govt HHS Vetting Exposing Migrant Kids to Trafficking.

The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) is launching an investigation into the handling of unaccompanied illegal immigrant children by the Office of Refugee Resettlement (ORR). The probe comes after concerns were raised that lax vetting processes may have allowed minors to end up in the care of unsuitable sponsors, including alleged predators and traffickers.

An internal HHS document details numerous instances where the ORR neglected safety protocols. The report highlights cases where sponsors used falsified or altered images to gain custody of children, with these discrepancies often overlooked by government staff. One photo included in the report depicted a poorly edited image, with a child’s mother appearing next to a man claiming custody. Another case involved a sponsor using an identity document that did not match his own.

A particularly concerning incident involved a 23-year-old posing as a minor within a federal facility, reportedly making inappropriate advances toward actual children. According to HHS sources, the former Biden government’s prioritizing speed over safety resulted in a number of failures to protect migrant minors in the care of the ORR.

Findings by the HHS Office of the Inspector General revealed serious shortcomings in sponsor evaluations, leading to potentially unsafe or exploitative conditions for the children. The report notes that rejection rates for sponsorship applications were alarmingly low, highlighting oversight deficiencies.

Despite awareness of these issues among top officials in the Biden government, meaningful corrective actions were never implemented, according to the investigation. Since May 2024, 291,000 unaccompanied minors have entered the U.S., with many released without required immigration court appearances.

Consequently, the Trump administration’s HHS aims to prevent future occurrences by reviewing and enhancing sponsor vetting procedures. Recommendations include fingerprinting, mandatory DNA testing, and improved background checks for potential sponsors.

Democrats Face Investigation Over Alleged Threats Against Trump, Musk, and Others.

U.S. Attorney Ed Martin is initiating inquiries into senior Democratic lawmakers over comments perceived as potentially threatening President Donald J. Trump and Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) chief Elon Musk. Specifically, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) and Representative Robert Garcia (D-CA) received inquiry letters from Martin, the top federal prosecutor in Washington, D.C.

Martin’s investigation is focused on public comments made by the two national Democratic lawmakers in public settings. For Garcia, Martin is demanding an explanation for remarks the California Democrat made during a recent CNN appearance. During the interview, Garcia made derogatory remarks regarding Musk and pushed for a more aggressive approach to fighting DOGE, saying,  “What the American public want is for us to bring actual weapons to this bar fight,” Garcia said. “This is an actual fight for democracy.”

In the case of Schumer, Martin is seeking additional details regarding the Senate Democrat leader’s speech during a pro-abortion rally in 2020, during which he threatened consequences for Supreme Court Justices Neil Gorsuch and Brett Kavanaugh. “I want to tell you, Gorsuch, I want to tell you, Kavanaugh, you have released the whirlwind, and you will pay the price. You won’t know what hit you if you go forward with these awful decisions,” he threatened.

Although Schumer later retracted those remarks on the Senate floor, Martin’s letter requested further clarification, emphasizing that Schumer’s comments were made outside the protective bounds of the U.S. Capitol.

On social media, Garcia responded by accusing President Trump’s Department of Justice (DOJ) of targeting him for his criticisms. Meanwhile, Schumer’s office has yet to respond to Martin’s multiple inquiries, as noted in the U.S. Attorney’s most recent letter.

Notably, the Democratic Party’s violent and threatening rhetoric appears to have inspired at least two assassination attempts against President Trump during the 2024 presidential campaign. The first attempt on Trump’s life resulted in a supporter of the President, Corey Comperatore, being killed by the would-be presidential assassin.

Trump Admin Intensifies Immigration Crackdown, Deputizes State Dept. Security Personnel.

President Donald J. Trump‘s Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is moving to ramp up deportations and immigration enforcement actions as part of the America First leaders’s broader border security and illegal immigration crackdown. As part of the effort, Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem signed an order deputizing around 600 State Department Security Service employees to assist in the arrest and separation of foreign nationals illegally residing in the United States.

“Under President Trump, DHS will utilize all available resources to secure our border and remove criminal illegal aliens from our country,” Noem declared in a statement. She added: “The safety of American citizens comes first.”

The National Pulse previously reported that some employees in the Internal Revenue Service’s Criminal Investigations division have been deputized, primarily assisting in the investigation and dismantling of organized and dangerous illegal immigrant gangs like Tren de Aragua. Additionally, a number of Department of Justice (DOJ) law enforcement personnel and individuals with the Texas Attorney General’s Office have been called to assist with DHS immigration enforcement operations.

In a recent statement, Noem noted the Treasury Department’s readiness to support immigration enforcement. Recent workforce and budget enhancements have rendered IRS personnel available to assist. Reports indicate a significant rise in interior arrests compared to the same timeframe in the previous year. DHS data shows a 137 percent increase, with 11,791 interior ICE arrests recorded from January 20 to February 8, compared to 4,969 in 2024.

WATCH: AG Bondi Says Epstein Client List ‘Sitting on My Desk Right Now.’

Attorney General Pam Bondi has confirmed pedophile financier Jeffrey Epstein’s client list is “sitting on my desk right now,” undergoing review at the directive of President Donald J. Trump. “I’m reviewing that, I’m reviewing JFK files, MLK files, that’s all in the process of being reviewed,” she said on Friday.

Asked by Fox News if anything she has seen has shocked her, Bondi responded, “Not yet.” Members of the public and some members of Congress have long raised suspicions over the fact that Epstein’s so-called “madam,” Ghislaine Maxwell, was seemingly convicted of trafficking children to nobody besides Epstein himself. Epstein died—supposedly by suicide—in a New York correctional center before he could be brought to trial.

“We know that Jeffrey Epstein, who’s now deceased, and [Ghislaine] Maxwell, his associate who’s now in prison, were engaged in a conspiracy of sex trafficking with minors. So were others,” said Senator John Kennedy (R-LA) last June while grilling former Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) Director Christopher Wray at a Senate Appropriations Committee hearing. He continued: “What’s the FBI doing to investigate the other people that were involved in the sex trafficking rings?”

While Wray offered no meaningful answer, the client list should provide Sen. Kennedy and others with more leads to pursue when it is published.

Rubio, Vance Confirm Trump ‘Very Upset’ with Zelensky for Lying About Mineral Talks.

Vice President J.D. Vance and Secretary of State Marco Rubio have confirmed President Donald J. Trump is “very upset” with Ukrainian leader Volodymyr Zelensky for lying about U.S.-Ukrainian discussions over mineral rights. Zelensky has claimed he refused to countenance reserving mineral and energy exploration rights in Ukraine to the U.S. rather than its competitors to help repay American taxpayers for arming, funding, and training his military, as well as subsidizing Ukrainian government workers and businesses—but Vance and Rubio say his characterization of these discussions is untrue.

“President Trump is very upset at President Zelensky… and rightfully so,” Rubio told journalist Catherine Herridge, recalling how Biden, too, once reportedly “cursed at [Zelensky] in a phone call” for publicly denigrating U.S. efforts to assist him rather than expressing gratitude for the help his government was receiving.

“Frankly, I was personally very upset, because we had a conversation with President Zelensky, the Vice President and I, the three of us, and we discussed this issue about the mineral rights,” Rubio continued. “And we explained to them, look, we want to be in a joint venture with you, not because we’re trying to steal from your country, but because we think that’s actually a security guarantee if we’re your partner in an important economic endeavor. We get to get paid back some of the money the taxpayers have given, close to $200 billion, and also, now we have a vested interest in the security of Ukraine.

“And [Zelensky] said, ‘Sure, we want to do this deal, it makes all the sense in the world, the only thing is, I need to run it through my legislative process, they have to approve it.’ I read two days later that Zelensky’s out there saying, ‘I rejected the deal, I told them no way, that we’re not doing that’—well, that’s not what happened in that meeting,” Rubio stressed.

He went on to say Zelensky’s public claims that President Trump is “living in a world of disinformation” are “very counterproductive… President Trump’s not the kind of person that’s going to sit there and take that… he’s not gonna get gamed here.”

VANCE.

Vice President Vance, who shared a clip of Rubio’s exchange with Herridge on social media, commenting, “What Secretary Rubio is saying here is exactly right,” made similar remarks to Raheem Kassam, Editor-in-Chief of The National Pulse, in an exclusive interview earlier this week.

“Zelensky is getting really bad advice, and I don’t know from whom,” Vance said. “He’s not dealing with Joe Biden and the Biden administration anymore. He’s dealing with Donald Trump and the Trump administration.”

“The idea that he’s going to litigate his disagreements with the President in the public square—I mean, you [Kassam] know the President very well, obviously, I know the President very well. This is not a good way to deal with President Trump… he’s attacking the only reason this country exists, publicly, right now. And it’s disgraceful. And it’s not something that is going to move the President of the United States. In fact, it’s going to have the opposite effect,” he warned.

Southern U.S. Border Sees 94% Drop in Illegal Crossings: Border Patrol Chief.

Border Patrol Chief Mike Banks has reported a significant reduction in illegal crossings at the U.S.-Mexico border over the past year. According to Banks, daily apprehensions by agents have dropped to around 285, a stark contrast to the 4,800 daily arrests recorded at the same time last year. This marks a 94 percent decrease in illegal crossings.

Chief Banks attributed these results to policies implemented by President Donald J. Trump’s administration. Newly adopted measures announced by President Trump include the deployment of additional troops to the southern border and collaboration with the Texas National Guard. These steps are part of an ongoing strategy to support Border Patrol agents in their duties to manage illegal immigration effectively.

The National Pulse has previously reported that the Trump administration has opened a 30,000-bed illegal immigrant detention facility on the U.S. military base at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. This facility is intended to house the most dangerous illegal immigrants with ties to violent criminal organizations like Tren de Aragua, which was recently designated as a Foreign Terrorist Organization (FTO) by President Trump.

Additionally, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement continues to execute raids across the country as part of President Trump’s mass deportation efforts. Border czar Tom Homan oversees these raids.

China Executes Rare Naval ‘Live-Fire’ Drills Off Australia’s Coast in Significant Provocation.

Civilian and commercial aircraft flying off Australia’s east coast have been diverted due to Chinese naval vessels performing live-fire drills. The Chinese communist regime describes the drills as routine training exercises compliant with international law. However, conducting such military drills so close to Australia is exceptionally rare and represents a potential escalation against the United States and its allies’ maritime dominance in the Pacific Ocean.

Australia’s defense department has been tracking three Chinese naval vessels, including the frigate Hengyang, cruiser Zunyi, and replenishment vessel Weishanhu, following their recent sightings. Leftist Prime Minister Anthony Albanese claims that the activities are in accordance with international law and pose no immediate threat to Australian or New Zealand assets.

Currently, the three Chinese vessels are approximately 340 nautical miles east of the coast of New South Wales. However, at one point, they were within 150 nautical miles of Syndey—suggesting the drills are intended as a form of intimidation or provocation. In response to inquiries about the drills, China’s foreign ministry emphasized that the exercises would be conducted safely and professionally, adhering to global legal standards.

Meanwhile, Australian Foreign Minister Penny Wong expressed concerns and indicated plans to address the issue with Chinese officials. Speaking from a G20 meeting in Johannesburg, South Africa, she reiterated Australia’s intention to engage in discussions regarding the exercises. In the wake of the announcement, Airservices Australia, responsible for air traffic management, issued a caution for commercial aircraft to adjust their flight paths to avoid the affected area. The agency stated that it is collaborating to provide guidance to air operators and pilots.
