Democratic strategist James Carville insisted Thursday that he was right when he predicted the Trump administration would collapse 30 days into President Donald Trumps second term.During an appearance on journalist Dan Abrams podcast, Carville doubled down on his prediction when Abrams suggested that he got it wrong."I think its collapsing now," Carville told Abrams, who found it amusing. "30 days 180 days, okay. It is collapsing right in front of you."TRUMP PENS LETTER TO GRIEVING MOTHER OF SLAIN CONGRESSIONAL INTERN: 'HELD IN MY HEART'Abrams brought up the subject by playing a clip of Carville on his show in February, where he declared that the Trump administration was "collapsing" and would be falling apart within 30 days.Abrams asked the strategist Thursday if he still stood by the prediction.Carville replied, saying he was "a pretty smart guy in February."He defended the months-old prediction, stating, "You look at whats happening, and you look at the current stuff thats coming in the public has revulsions against this."FOX NEWS CHANNEL DOMINATES ALL OF TELEVISION IN JULY, CNN HITS ROCK BOTTOM AMONG KEY DEMOHe pointed to Democratic candidates leading in upcoming elections, like the governors race in Virginia, saying that proves Trumps demise is underway."Do you know how much were going to win by in Virginia?" he asked. "Do you have any idea?""No, I dont," Abrams responded. "Its gonna be a lot," Carville declared. "Its not going to be close."A recent Virginia Commonwealth Poll from July has Virginia Republican gubernatorial candidate Winsome Earle-Sears at 37% and Democratic candidate Abigail Spanberger at 49%.Still, Abrams wasnt convinced. "But you said that you thought that this administration was in the midst of a collapse.""I think it is. Yes, I do," Carville shot back."And you think you were right?" Abrams asked.Carville didnt back down, stating, "Yes. I think there are theyre somewhere about 37% or 40% approval. Their economic numbers are terrible, are just terrible. And I think were running away with every election weve had. Were going to run away with Virginia. Were going to win New Jersey. Were starting to recruit every candidate that we want."CLICK HERE FOR MORE COVERAGE OF MEDIA AND CULTUREAbrams continued pushing, mentioning polling showing that Trump isnt exactly in the midst of collapsing."I pulled up the recent approval polling from The New York Times and Real Clear Politics, and the aggregation puts Trumps approval between 44 and 45.8, with 53 and 51.4 disapproval, as of August the 6th. Thats not a collapse. Thats basically a little bit above where he was."Carville dismissed the numbers, saying the polling for upcoming elections "in no way reflect that.""I dont want to get into saying this poll, that poll, this aggregate poll; but I look at like the UMass Amherst poll, I look at Gallup, I look at people like that. I see something completely different. Im very, very, very confident that this administration is going to be widely rejected in the elections coming up; and theyre gonna be particularly widely rejected in the elections in 2026," he said.One of Carville's more recent predictions didn't go so well. In the weeks leading up to the 2024 presidential election, the political veteran was so convinced that Kamala Harris would win, he wrote a column for the New York Times titled, "Three Reasons Im Certain Kamala Harris Will Win."Carville's column slammed Trump as a "repeat electoral loser" and claimed "This time will be no different," while heaping praise on the Democratic nominee.CLICK HERE TO GET THE FOX NEWS APPFox News' Marc Tamasco contributed to this report.

Police have released new body camera footage showing the moments officers responded to the viral downtown Cincinnati beating that left six people injured and led to six arrests.Fox News Digital is reviewing the footage, which was released by authorities Friday.The update comes the same day all six individuals arrested in connection with the viral beating in downtown Cincinnati have been indicted by a grand jury and are facing additional charges.Patrick Rosemond, 38, Jermaine Matthews, 39, Montianez Merriweather, 34, DeKyra Vernon, 24, Dominique Kittle, 37, and Aisha Devaughn, 25, are each charged with three counts of alleged felonious assault, three charges of assault and two charges of aggravated rioting, the Hamilton County Prosecutor's Office confirmed to Fox News Digital.CINCINNATI BRAWL TIMELINE: BRUTAL ASSAULT SPIRALS INTO NATIONAL FIRESTORM"What I saw on video is not the Cincinnati I know and love," Hamilton County Prosecutor Connie Pillich said. "These charges hold those involved in the attack accountable."The update comes nearly two weeks after a bystander video showing the brutal beatdown on the corner of Fourth and Elm streets went viral, sparking national outrage and forcing local leaders to answer for the beating that broke out around 3 a.m. on July 26.Witness video obtained by Fox News Digital shows a man repeatedly yelling racial slurs at a group before being violently thrown to the ground and kicked repeatedly."I saw a little ruckus going on, saw people kind of scuffling, so kind of zoomed in, and once my phone kind of focused in, I saw the so-called victims being pretty aggressive toward the group of people that were already standing out there," witness Jay Black told Fox News Digital.CINCINNATI RESIDENTS ON EDGE AFTER VIRAL BEATDOWN SPARKS CRIME CONCERNS: 'WHAT'S GONNA HAPPEN NEXT?'Black added that he watched the man get knocked to the ground, before getting up and start fighting again."Once he got up, you know people were kind of backing off of him, but he was kind of still going at people, you know, and using racial slurs," Black said.He told Fox News Digital that "contrary to what people think," there were actually "a lot of people" trying to break up the fight.The fight ignited a national firestorm as local leaders were left to answer for the apparent lack of police presence in the downtown area when the fight occurredafter it was revealed that only 11 officers were stationed downtown the night of the brawl.CINCINNATI MAYOR UNDER FIRE FOR POLICE MANAGEMENT AFTER VIRAL BEATING EXPOSES LAX BAIL LAWSIn a press conference held last week, Cincinnati Police Chief TheresaTheetge revealed that, of the approximately 100 individuals present on the street corner at the time of the fight, only one person called 911."That is unacceptable to not call the police," Theetge said. "Traffic was horrendous. People saw this. They were fighting in front of traffic. Why didn't people call us?"One of the victims in the attack, Holly, can be seen in additional footage being violently slammed to the ground and knocked unconscious as she tried to split up the fight."I remember being afraid, terrified," Holly told Fox News Digital. "I just remember my life flashing before my eyes, and all I can think is, Dear God, I hope my children know that I love them."CINCINNATI VIRAL BEATING VICTIM SAYS VIOLENT MOB STARTED ATTACKING 'LIKE A PACK OF WOLVES'Holly revealed the horrific fight left her with brain damage and life-altering injuries, including a severe concussion."I'm having someone help take care of me financially, mentally and physically," Holly said. "It's very humbling, it's very embarrassing to not be able to just be able to hang out by myself. I think that's the scary part, to not know just how deep the damage is going to be."Cincinnati Mayor Aftab Pureval also weighed in on the violence that lit up social media at a press conference last week.VIDEO OF RACIAL SLUR YELLED DURING THE BRUTAL CINCINNATI BEATDOWN EMERGES"This was an awful incident, and our law enforcement has been working quickly and effectively to bring all responsible to justice," he said while standing alongside other city officials and leaders. "Let me be clear, there is no place for violent crime in Cincinnati, whether it's a fight or gun violence. We will pursue those responsible and we will hold them accountable no matter who they are."However, Pureval has since come under fire for his handling of the citys law enforcement, with mayoral challenger Cory Bowman, who is also Vice President JD Vances half-brother, slamming city leadership for what he believes is relaxed bail policies allowing violent offenders back on the streets.CINCINNATI BUSINESS OWNERS SLAM VIRAL 'OUT OF CONTROL' BEATING AMID FIGHT TO CLEAN UP DOWNTOWN"There are things from City Hall that are showing that the police are not supported the way they need to," Bowman told Fox News Digital. "They are unable to do their jobs because they've been told time and time again that they have to use restraint in certain things instead of enforcing the law. They're told to dial back, and then what happens is that we have prosecutors and judges that have a catch-and-release system."In a previous statement, Council Member Anna Albi also condemned the brutal beating, while vowing to support the communitys police force."Under no circumstances is it ever acceptable to condone such awful violence," Albi said. "Our greatest responsibility as elected officials and city leaders is to ensure the safety of our community. That is why this City Council continues to invest in supporting and growing our police force while simultaneously investing in social services to foster safe and healthy communities."If convicted, the suspects face the possibility of 29.5 years in prison.Fox News Digital's Peter D'Abrosca contributed to this report.

President Donald Trumps mass deportation efforts gained new momentum this week when Rwanda signed a formal third-country agreement, part of a broader push to partner with nations willing to accept deportees whose home countries refuse to take them back or present other barriers.Officials in Rwanda agreed to take in 250 illegal immigrants in a deal forged with the State Department Tuesday, joining nearly a half-dozen other nations that have done the same.When the talks between Washington and Kigali began earlier this year, Rwandan Foreign Minister Olivier Nduhungirehe said the idea is not new to his country, as it previously forged a similar deal with the United Kingdom that was nixed by a London court.Illegal immigrants deported from the U.S. will be given help to get back on their feet, according to a spokesperson for Rwandan President Paul Kagame.They will need to be individually approved for resettlement and then receive "workforce training, healthcare and accommodation to jump-start their lives in Rwanda," the spokeswoman, Yolande Makolo, told the BBC.TRUMP HAS CUSTODY OVER JAILED CECOT MIGRANTS, EL SALVADOR SAYS, COMPLICATING COURT FIGHTSIn another African nation, Eswatini, named Swaziland until 2018, five foreign nationals were deported from the U.S. to Mbabane in July.But that operation reportedly lacked the same formal third-country agreement as Rwanda.The tiny landlocked country, the last absolute monarchy on the continent, abuts Mozambique and South Africa.The deported men were all convicted of crimes ranging from battery to murder to gang activity and methamphetamine-related offenses."This flight took individuals so uniquely barbaric that their home countries refused to take them back," DHS Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin said in a statement."These depraved monsters have been terrorizing American communities, but thanks to [Trump and Secretary Kristi Noem] they are off of American soil."The convicts hailed from Vietnam, Jamaica, Laos, Cuba and Yemen.A spokesman for King Mswati III, who has ruled Eswatini since 1986, told the BBC Eswatini hopes to "facilitate" returning the criminals to their homelands.South Sudan also received eight deportees in July.Boston federal Judge Brian Murphy issued a preliminary injunction blocking Sudanese deportations and others, ruling migrants needed opportunities to file for protection under a U.S. diplomatic Convention Against Torture (CAT) that precludes expatriation to dangerous countries.The Supreme Court later stayed Murphy's ruling.EUROPEAN NATION AGREES TO 'TEMPORARILY' HOST DEPORTED IMMIGRANTS FROM US AMID TRUMP PUSHIn February, Costa Rica agreed to accept 200 deported migrants, which included some foreign nationals from India, according to VisaVerge. That nation's law allows temporary migrant sheltering.The government in San Jose also reportedly forged a $7.8 million deal in which the U.S. would help it deport immigrants, according to Reuters. The wire service further confirmed the February report.Also in February, Panamas foreign ministry told CBS News its first flight of about 200 non-Panamanian deportees arrived from the U.S. under another agreement forged with Washington.The U.S. will cover the cost of those deportations, which included migrants of mostly Asian descent, from countries like China, Uzbekistan, Nepal, India and Vietnam. Migrants from as far afield as Cameroon and Iran were also reportedly among the group.The most visible country to aid in deportation efforts has been El Salvador, where congressional Democrats flew after a suspected human trafficker living in Maryland was deported to its infamous CECOT prison.CLICK HERE TO GET THE FOX NEWS APPDemocrats like Hunter Biden have called out the Trump administration for the effort, which has been met by incredulous responses, such as a retort from Salvadoran president Nayib Bukele.Bukele poked fun at Bidens past drug use in response, asking on X if he was "sniffing powdered milk" when the former first son claimed he would threaten to invade El Salvador if he were elected president and if it refused to return deportees.Sen. Chris Van Hollen, D-Md., was the first to fly to San Salvador to visit Garcia, a trip that appeared to inspire more Democrats to go and others to attempt to gain entry into domestic ICE sites in Newark, Baltimore and New York City.Fox News' Louis Casiano contributed to this report.

Two prominent South Carolina Republicans are ramping up attacks on one another as they battle for the GOP nomination in the states upcoming gubernatorial race. Rep. Nancy Mace has accused South Carolina Attorney General Alan Wilson of being soft on crime, claiming hes offered lenient plea deals to violent offenders, including individuals convicted of child sexual abuse, rape and murder."I have so many victims, theyre coming forward asking for my help," Mace said Friday on the "Brian Kilmeade Show.""Because theyre not getting it from the attorney general."GOP SHOWDOWN: SOUTH CAROLINA ATTORNEY GENERAL ALAN WILSON ACCUSES REP. NANCY MACE OF 'RANTING AND RAVING'Mace announced her bid for the governorship earlier this week and has repeatedly claimed Wilson failed to deliver justice for victims of crime in the state.

Alan Wilson said he cut it down and let him serve one day in jail. And there are other convicted pedophile cases just like that."FIRST ON FOX: REPUBLICAN FIREBRAND NANCY MACE LAUNCHES BID FOR SOUTH CAROLINA GOVERNORThe congresswoman has argued shes been looking into a pattern of similar deals that she calls "disturbing and alarming."Wilson, who has served as South Carolinas attorney general since 2010, is also considered a frontrunner in the GOP primary to replace term-limited Republican Gov. Henry McMaster.Responding to some of Maces accusations earlier this week, Wilson defended his record."My office has quadrupled the size of the internet crimes against children task force," he said on the "Brian Kilmeade Show.""We have expanded the human trafficking task force. We are supporting local law enforcement moving backlogs," he added.He dismissed her remarks as being politically motivated.US APPEALS COURT BLOCKS TRUMP CONTEMPT PROCEEDINGS ORDERED BY BOASBERG"Shes just throwing every single piece of mud she can in our general direction," said Wilson.Earlier this year, Mace delivered a fiery speech on the House floor in which she publicly criticized Wilson. In February, she accused his office of ignoring evidence of sexual assault against her and other women by a group of men, including her ex-fianc.For nearly an hour, Mace made allegations of rape, sex trafficking and other sexual misconduct, saying she had provided Wilsons office with evidence that wasnt acted on."I'm actually a key witness in an investigation right now where I provided information to law enforcement," Mace said Friday."He's trying to taint a jury pool for a future civil and or criminal case in the courts of South Carolina," she added.Wilson has strongly denied those claims, saying Mace never reported the allegations to him or his office.In a statement to Fox News, he further rebuked her statements and took personal shots at the lawmaker.CLICK HERE TO GET THE FOX NEWS APP"Mace is a liar who will do anything to get attention to distract from her liberal voting record.

Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton is looking into two political action committees for allegedly violating the law by assisting Texas state Democrats' travel out of the state in an effort to avoid a quorum during a redistricting standoff.The groups are the Powered by People PAC, led by former Rep. Beto ORourke, and the Texas Majority PAC, led by members of his former staff."Any Democrat coward breaking the law by taking a Beto Bribe will be held accountable," Paxton said in a news release on Wednesday.ORourke unsuccessfully sought the Democratic presidential nomination in 2020, lost to Sen. Ted Cruz in a closely-watched 2018 contest, and lost to Gov. Greg Abbott in 2022. Still, he remains a prominent voice in the states political scene.GEORGE SOROS, BETO O'ROURKE BEHIND FUNDING FOR DEMS FLEEING TEXAS OVER GOP CONGRESSIONAL MAP"Texas cannot be bought. I look forward to thoroughly reviewing all of the documents and communications obtained throughout this investigation. These jet-setting runaways have already lost public trust by abandoning our state, and Texans deserve to know if they received illegal bribes to do it," Paxton continued.Public records indicated that the Powered by People PAC does get a significant number of smaller donations through individuals by platforms like ActBlue, but its also received over hundreds of thousands from the progressive consulting firm Middle Seat, and $100,000 from Simone Coxe, a nonprofit leader who was a major funder of ORourkes gubernatorial bid, according to the Texas Tribune. In addition, FEC records show that the Harris Victory Fund gave over $114,000 in January 2024 and $60,000 in December 2023.In 2024, it also received just over $5,000 from Luci Baines Johnson, the former first daughter of President Lyndon Johnson.AWOL DEMS FLIGHT FROM TEXAS MAY HAVE BEEN FUNDED ILLEGALLY BY BETO O'ROURKE NONPROFITAccording to the Texas Tribune, the PAC has acknowledged assisting lawmakers with travel outside of the state, including helping to cover $500 daily fines."100% of your donation will go to supporting Texas Democrats in their fight against Trump's power grab," the website stated, Fox News Digital previously reported.The group reports over $3.5 million in cash on hand as of June 30, according to Federal Election Commission records.BETO O'ROURKE ASKED POINT BLANK WHY HE'S HELPING DEMS FLEE TEXAS RATHER THAN HELPING TEXANSAs for the Texas Majority PAC, it receives heavy funding from George Soros, a longtime Democratic donor."If Texas lawmakers are bowing to the Soros Slush Fund rather than the will of the voters, Texans deserve to know. Getting financial payouts under the table to abandon your legislative duties is bribery," Paxton said in a Thursday statement. "Texas Majority PACs actions seem to indicate that it may be using its Soros-funded resources to break the law and fund the illegal abandonment of public office. If thats the case as determined by this investigation, there will be a heavy price to pay."Fox News Digital reached out to Powered by People PAC and the Texas Majority PAC for comment on the Paxton investigation. ORourke responded to a post from Paxton on Wednesday, saying the Democrat is "scared of accountability.""Scared? If we stop the Texas steal & win the House, your guys crimes & corruption will be exposed for all to see. The girls traded with Epstein. The bribes taken from foreign governments. And when he goes down, your corrupt, impeached, twice indicted ass is going down with him!" ORourke replied on X.

Eight deaths have been reported in Florida due to a "flesh-eating" bacterial infection, according to state health officials.The Florida Department of Health has confirmed 13 total cases of Vibrio vulnificus across 11 counties, as reported by local outlets.Last year, the state reported even higher numbers: 82 cases and 19 deaths.DEADLY BACTERIAL OUTBREAK INFECTS DOZENS IN CITY NEIGHBORHOOD AS OFFICIALS SOUND ALARMLouisiana is also seeing a higher-than-average case count, with the health department reporting 17 infections and four deaths so far in 2025.The U.S. sees an average of 150 to 200 infections per year, according to data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Most cases of the infection occur in the Gulf Coast states (Alabama, Florida, Louisiana, Mississippi and Texas).Vibrio vulnificus is part of a wider group of Vibrio bacteria, which are found in coastal waters, the CDC states.This specific bacterium, Vibrio vulnificus, can enter open wounds when people are swimming.DEATH CONFIRMED FROM RARE AND DEADLY 'BRAIN-EATING AMOEBA' IN SOUTHERN LAKE"Warmer waters provide a ready incubator for Vibrio growth," Dr. Nathan Goodyear, an integrative medicine physician at the Williams Cancer Institute in California, told Fox News Digital. "Flesh-eating bacteria are thermophilic halophiles, readily populating in warm, salty, brackish water."Additionally, an increase in plankton blooms, which harbor Vibrio bacteria, is associated with increased cases. Increased flooding and hurricanes, as well as other natural disasters, can also spread the medium in which the flesh-eating bacteria exist, Goodyear noted.Vibrio has the potential to cause severe infections, according to Dr. Andrew Handel, pediatric infectious diseases specialist at Stony Brook Children's Hospital in New York.Those include invasive soft tissue infections (sometimes called "necrotizing fasciitis" or "flesh-eating bacteria") and bloodstream infections.Groups at highest risk include older adults and people who are immunocompromised or have chronic liver disease, Handel cautioned."Raw oysters and other shellfish can also be infected with Vibrio, leading to severe gastroenteritis or food poisoning," he told Fox News Digital.Vibrio symptoms depend on the type of infection, according to Handel."People who have skin infections often have high fevers and intense pain, swelling and redness at the site of infection, which usually occurs after an open wound is exposed to infected water," he told Fox News Digital.DOCTORS REVEAL KEY SIGNS OF LYME DISEASE AS TICK SEASON INTENSIFIES ACROSS US"The symptoms from skin infections can progress very quickly and quickly become life-threatening in a short time. Thankfully, those infections are rare."People who have eaten contaminated shellfish will have severe vomiting and diarrhea, which can lead to dehydration, the doctor warned.Whilehealthy people generally experience only mild symptoms, those who are immunocompromised or have chronic liver disease can face serious health risks.If Vibrio vulnificus enters the bloodstream, it can cause severe illness marked by fever, chills, septic shock and blistering skin lesions, according to Florida Health.About half of these bloodstream infections are fatal.Some severe cases can cause an infection called necrotizing fasciitis, which is when the flesh around an open wound dies, the CDC cautions. This rare side effect has led to Vibrio vulnificus being described as a "flesh-eating bacteria."The bacterial infection is diagnosed by testing cultures obtained from stool, wounds or blood, according to health officials.For mild infections, the CDC recommends increasing fluid intake to prevent dehydration.Those with severe or prolonged infections shouldreceive antibiotics to improve survival rates. For people with infected wounds, surgery may be necessary to remove dead tissue.CLICK HERE TO SIGN UP FOR OUR HEALTH NEWSLETTER"Antibiotics alone are not enough to calm the flesh-eating storm, Goodyear told Fox News Digital. "Early surgical debridement to remove infection sources is readily required."About one in five people will die from the infection, sometimes within a day or two of illness, the CDC states.To prevent Vibrio infections, experts recommend against swimming in open bodies of water like the ocean, rivers and estuaries if you have any open wounds."To prevent Vibrio food poisoning, avoid eating raw shellfish, especially if you are immunocompromised or have chronic liver disease," Handel advised.For more Health articles, visit www.foxnews.com/health"If you do eat shellfish, make sure it has not been sitting out for a long time and comes from a hygienic source."The doctor noted that Vibrio infections are rare and "should not be a major cause of alarm.""For up-to-date information in your state and location, always check with your state and regional health departments for updates," Goodyear advised.Fox News Digital reached out to the Florida Department of Public Health for comment.

President Donald Trump has secretly authorized military force against Latin American drug cartels designated by the United States as foreign terrorist organizations, according to reports.The move, reported by the New York Times, would give U.S. forces permission to engage the cartels, which traffic drugs like fentanyl across the US-Mexico border,"The president is determined to not just dismantle but completely destroy [Venezuelan dictator Nicolas] Maduros Cartel de Los Soles and obliterate their operations in theWestern Hemisphere," a source close to the White House said, the New York Post reported.US ACCUSES VENEZUELAN REGIME OF NARCO-TERRORISM OVER ALLIANCES WITH TREN DE ARAGUA, SINALOA CARTELThe anti-cartel effort is being coordinated among several departments, including the Department of Defense, Justice Department, Department of Homeland Security, Office of the Director of National Intelligence and the Treasury, the source added."President Trumps top priority is protecting the homeland, which is why he took the bold step to designate several cartels and gangs as foreign terrorist organizations," deputy White House press secretary Anna Kelly said in a statement to Fox News Digital.Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum on Friday said the U.S. military would not be entering Mexican territory following reports that Washington could take action to combat the cartels.RUBIO RIPS VENEZUELA'S MADURO AS 'NARCO-TERRORIST' LEADER THREATENING US ONE YEAR AFTER DISPUTED ELECTION"It has nothing to do with Mexican territory," she said. "It has to do with their country. It does not involve our territory."Trump has previously discussed using military force against drug cartels in an effort to stop the flow of drugs and illegal immigrants across the southern border. He has also sanctioned high-ranking members of Cartel del Noreste, one of the most violent drug-trafficking organizations in Mexico and a U.S.-designated foreign terrorist organization.Most recently, he has used the threat of tariffs to force Mexico and Canada to actively participate in anti-smuggling efforts.In relation to Latin American cartels, the administration has also singled out Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro, who is wanted by the U.S. On Thursday, Attorney General Pam Bondi announced a $50 million reward for information leading to his arrest."Maduro uses foreign terrorist organizations like TdA (Tren de Aragua), Sinaloa and Cartel of the Suns (Cartel de Soles) to bring deadly violence to our country," Bondi said in a video message. "He is one of the largest narco-traffickers in the world and a threat to our national security."Weeks after taking office, the White House announced the extradition of 29 members of various Mexican drug cartels."The previous Administration allowed these criminals to run free and commit crimes all over the world. The Trump Administration is declaring these thugs as terrorists, because that is what they are, and demanding justice for the American people," the White House said at the time.
