The White House took several jabs at California Gov. Gavin Newsoms address to the nation on Tuesday night as his state navigates massive immigration protests in Los Angeles.Newsom, a Democrat, said in the address that "Democracy is under assault" as he sparred with President Donald Trump over the administrations decision to dispatch thousands of National Guard troops and hundreds of Marines to address the riots.In response, White House assistant to the president and director of communications Steven Cheung accused Newsom of spending time creating the video rather than serving as governor. Likewise, Cheung took a swipe at the videos audio, claiming the production quality was akin to Newsoms leadership.NEWSOM SAYS LOS ANGELES RIOTERS WILL BE PROSECUTED, SLAMS TRUMP FOR TRAUMATIZING OUR COMMUNITIES"Gavin NewScum spent all this time--instead of doing his actual job-- preparing for a webinar just for the audio to not work," Cheung said in a post on X late Tuesday evening. "The production quality is just like his leadership quality-- sh***y."Additionally, Cheung suggested that Newsom had brought on former President Joe Biden and former Vice President Kamala Harris campaign manager, who both repeatedly warned during the 2024 campaign cycle that a second Trump term would pose a "threat to democracy.""NewScum must've hired Kamala and Biden's loser campaign team because he saying this is a threat to democracy," Cheung said.A spokesperson for Newsom did not immediately respond to a request for comment from Fox News Digital.Other White House officials also weighed in on Newsoms address to defend the Trump administrations crackdown on immigration."American voters elected President Donald Trump to carry out his agenda, which includes enforcing the immigration laws passed by their elected representatives," deputy assistant to the president and principal deputy communications director Alex Pfieffer said in a post on X on Tuesday. "California is trying to subvert democracy."NEWSOM FILES EMERGENCY MOTION TO 'IMMEDIATELY BLOCK' TRUMP'S USE OF MILITARY TO STOP LA RIOTSNewsom said in the address that more than 200 people have been arrested in connection to the protests and labeled Trumps decision to deploy troops to Los Angeles a "brazen abuse of power.""This isnt just about protests here in Los Angeles," Newsom said in the video. "This is about all of us. This is about you. California may be first, but it clearly will not end here. Other states are next. Democracy is next. Democracy is under assault before our eyes."White House deputy chief of staff Stephen Miller also responded to one of Newsom's posts on X late Tuesday evening after the governor said the Founding Fathers did not "live and die to see this moment," and urged for peaceful protests. Meanwhile, Miller shared a photo of a shirtless man standing on a vehicle and waving a California flag in front of fumes with the comment: "According to Governor Newsom, this is what the Founders were fighting for."Trump has gone head-to-head with Newsom over the deployment of 4,000 National Guard troops and 700 Marines to Los Angeles following protests sparked by ICE arrests in the city on Friday.HEGSETH DEFENDS NATIONAL GUARD LA DEPLOYMENTS, SAYS ICE AGENTS MUST BE PROTECTEDWhile Trump has argued the National Guard troops are necessary to prevent destruction in Los Angeles, Newsom said most of the troops "are sitting, unused, in federal buildings without orders."Additionally, Newsom argued that the move violates state sovereignty because governors typically oversee National Guard troops. Trump invoked a law to place the troops under federal command in order to bypass Newsom."This isnt about public safety," Newsom said in a post on X on Monday. "Its about stroking a dangerous Presidents ego."

California Gov. Gavin Newsom is getting hammered by President Donald Trump, his allies and others on the right but his address to the nation will likely boost his deflated image among many fellow Democrats.Newsom, speaking in a prime-time address following days of rioting in Los Angeles sparked by immigration raids carried out by ICE at the Trump administration's direction, appeared to elevate himself as leader of the anti-Trump movement.California's two-term governor, who is considered a potential contender for the 2028 Democratic presidential nomination due to his clear national ambitions, once again denounced Trump's deployment of over 2,000 National Guard troops and some 700 U.S. Marines to the streets of the nation's second-most populous city.But Newsom's message wasn't just for residents of blue-state California.'STATE OF REBELLION' - EXPERTS WEIGH IN ON NEWSOM'S CHALLENGE TO TRUMP DEPLOYING NATIONAL GUARD"This isnt just about protests here in Los Angeles," Newsom declared in his address. "This is about all of us. This is about you. California may be first, but it clearly will not end here. Other states are next. Democracyis next. Democracy is under assault before our eyes."The governor stepped up to the plate with his party aiming to escape the political wilderness following last November's punishing election setbacks as Democrats lost control of the White House and Senate and fell short of winning back the House majority and looking for leaders to push back against Trump's sweeping and controversial moves. And Newsom, with his address, appeared to signal that he's one of the party leaders ready to spearhead the fight.NEWSOM SAY LOS ANGELES RIOTERS WILL BE PROSECUTED, SLAMS TRUMP FOR TRAUMATIZING OUR COMMUNITIES"He is fighting back, going toe to toe with Trump, and Democrats and the country are noticing," veteran strategist Maria Cardona, a DNC committee member, told Fox News.Newsom's address followed days of verbal crossfire between himself and Trump, after the president broke six decades of precedent by federalizing California's National Guard without the consent of the governor.The governor and California's attorney genearl are legally pushing back against Trump, with the Democratic National Committee (DNC) taking to social media to spotlight the move.And Newsom personalized the conflict by daring the Trump administration to follow through on a threat by Tom Homan, the president's muscular border czar, to arrest him."In a time where there are broad concerns about the failure of Democrats to fully embrace their roles as the vocal opposition party, Gov. Gavin Newsom has found his voice," longtime political scientist Wayne Lesperance told Fox News.Lesperance, president of New Hampshire-based New England College, noted that Tuesday's "speech pushing back against the administration's enhanced immigration tactics and deployment of the National Guard and the Marines for law enforcement purposes has propelled Newsom to the forefront of the opposition to Donald Trump."Cardona argued that "Newsom has done a terrific job standing up for California in the midst of an unprecedented attack by its own federal government and the President of the United States. Hes done two things extraordinarily well: he has been unequivocal in his condemnation of any violence and in his support of local law-enforcement. And secondly, he has fully supported Californias immigrant communities as they have been the backbone of the states economy and they are deserving of respect, decency, humanity, and due process."Trump doesn't see it that way."The INCOMPETENT Governor of California was unable to provide protection in a timely manner when our Ice Officers, GREAT Patriots they are, were attacked by an out of control mob of agitators, troublemakers, and/or insurrectionists," the president charged Wednesday morning on social media.And Trump said that "if our troops didnt go into Los Angeles, it would be burning to the ground right now."The president's comments from the Oval Office on Tuesday and his Wednesday posts on his Truth Social platform were accompanied by a series of blasts at Newsom by top White House aides and other administration officials, and the mocking of the governor for technical glitches in the live feed of his address.While the current crisis in many ways forces Democrats to play defense on Trump's strongest issues immigration and border security, and law and order it gives Newsom a chance to do some damage repair with many Democrats.Newsom angered many on the left in March when he declared it was "deeply unfair" for transgender athletes to participate in girls sports.And his invitation to top MAGA leaders, such as Charlie Kirk and Steve Bannon, who joined the governor on the initial episodes of his new podcast in a search for common ground following last year's elections, also damaged Newsom's image among some Democrats.With some of the potential 2028 Democratic presidential nomination contenders already making moves and visiting some of the crucial early-voting states, Trump's attacks on the governor may be handing Newsom a political gift."Ironically, President Trump's hammering of Newsom may actually help the California governor enhance his position among party faithful and any potential 2028 voter looking for a candidate unafraid to go head-to-head against the administration," Lesperance noted. "Looking ahead, the question becomes whether or not Newsom can sustain himself in this new role."

When you meet Donald Trump, the first thing you notice is his hospitality. He is a bountiful host who always wants to make visitors feel comfortable.He will quite literally offer you the food off his plate. He will endure constant bruises on the back of his hands from well-wishers showing their gratitude with vigorous handshakes that he reciprocates warmly, even though hes a renowned (maybe reformed) germaphobe.He likes people and is always generous with his time and attention. Its a quality his detractors will never allow but it has been a big part of his success.Whether it is rearranging portraits and beautifying the Oval Office or personally curating the songs at his rallies, he obsesses over details that he knows will please people and create a convivial atmosphere. As one White House intimate says, "its a party every day" in the Oval Office of the famously teetotaling president from Queens.That was what I found Monday afternoon when I arrived in the White House for the first interview of our new podcast, "Pod Force One."The leader of the free world had kindly allocated 45 minutes to kickstart the enterprise, and had chosen the elegant, red-walled library as his set. But first he ushered me into the Oval Office to meet some of his cabinet gathered around the Resolute Desk.Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth, Vice President JD Vance, Homeland Security boss Kristi Noem, Attorney General Pam Bondi and deputy chief of staff Stephen Miller were there to discuss pressing matters of state, but the president also made sure to put everyone at ease with a perfectly timed joke and effusive praise for his A team.When he finally arrived in the library at 6 p.m. for the podcast, he was still in good cheer despite the momentous burdens he carries. The LA riots were top of mind, but his decision to reinstate "law and order" by calling out the National Guard and sending in the toughest Marines, over the objections of the feckless Gov. Gavin Newsom, was bullish instinct.We covered everything from Elon to Iran, drones over New Jersey to the secret of Joe Bidens autopen (he knows how to spot the fake signatures).As his Treasury and commerce secretaries, Scott Bessent ("straight out of Central Casting") and Howard Lutnick ("a killer"), wrestled with the Chinese on trade over a conference table in London, he divulged that President Xi Jinpings team is "a little spoiled from having such great success against our negotiators" in the past. No such luck this time.He was remarkably candid about family life: his formula for good parenting (no drugs or alcohol!), the possibility of a Trump political dynasty (you can hear Rosie ODonnell screaming from Ireland!), why his father bundled him off to military college when he was 13, his inner "genius" and the musical instrument his mother had him learn as a child you will never guess what it is!He also revealed what he believes is the greatest ingredient for success when he judges other people. Youll have to tune in to find out!I hope you do find the time to listen. Love or hate Donald Trump, he is a singular man of history who is bending the world to his will for the benefit of the country he loves.

Demonstrators pelted police with bricks, bottles and fireworks and set vehicles alight on Tuesday in a second night of anti-immigrant violence in the Northern Ireland town of Ballymena.Police used water cannon and plastic baton rounds in an attempt to disperse a crowd of several hundred people in the town 25 miles (40 km) north of Belfast.RIOTERS SMASH WINDOWS AT LAPD HEADQUARTERS AS ANTI-ICE AGITATORS CLASH WITH AUTHORITIESViolence erupted Monday after a peaceful march to show support for the family of the victim of an alleged sexual assault on the weekend. Two 14-year-old boys have been charged.The suspects have not been identified because of their age. They were supported in court by a Romanian interpreter.DRIVER ARRESTED AFTER VEHICLE PLOWS INTO CROWD OF LIVERPOOL SOCCER FANS DURING CELEBRATIONSeveral houses were set on fire on the first night of disorder on Monday. The Police Service of Northern Ireland said 15 officers were injured.Assistant Chief Constable Ryan Henderson said officers were "actively working to identify those responsible for last nights racially motivated disorder in Ballymena and bring them to justice."He said the violence should be "loudly condemned by all right thinking people."Any attempt to justify or explain it as something else is misplaced," he said.

Scottie Scheffler might be the overwhelming favorite heading into theU.S. Open this weekend, according to Vegas but it's not something the newly crowned PGA Championship winner particularly enjoys.Speaking to reporters at Oakmont on Tuesday, Scheffler was asked about the betting odds and if he ever hears from fans with a "financial investment" in his performance. Unsurprisingly, he saidmost golfers hear from fans regardless.CLICK HERE FOR MORE SPORTS COVERAGE ON FOXNEWS.COMBut what Scheffler did reveal that was shocking was that he was forced to delete a popular payment cash app after fans stumbled across it."I think everybody hears from fans whether they have a financial benefit or anything in their outcome. That's why I had to get rid of my Venmo because I was either getting paid by people or people requesting me a bunch of money when I didn't win.""It wasn't a good feeling," he added with a smile.Scheffler is chasing back-to-back major wins after winning thePGA Championship at Quail Hollow last month. And the odds are stacked in his favor with good reason.SCOTTIE SCHEFFLER SUFFERS TROPHY MISHAP AFTER WINNING PGA CHAMPIONSHIPHe has won three of his past four tournaments by a combined 17 shots and has won 25% of his tournaments since his firstPGA Tour win in 2022.But for Scheffler, stats and odds dont mean much on the course."I don't pay attention to the favorite stuff or anything like that. Starting Thursday morning, we're at even par, and it's up to me to go out there and play against the golf course and see what I can do."Scheffler will tee off Thursday afternoon alongside Collin Morikawa and Viktor Hovland.The Associated Press contributed to this report.Follow Fox News Digitalssports coverage on X, and subscribe tothe Fox News Sports Huddle newsletter.

New York Yankees superstar Aaron Judge tested the limits of Kauffman Stadium with a gargantuan blast in the teams 10-2 win over the Kansas City Royals on Tuesday.Judge, 33, hit his longest home run of the season in the first inning off of Royals starting pitcher Noah Cameron.Judge was up 2-0 in the count with a man on first base and one out. Camerons 2-0 pitch was a 94 MPH fastball on the inside part of the strike zone that Judge turned on and demolished.CLICK HERE FOR MORE SPORTS COVERAGE ON FOXNEWS.COMThe Yankees captain hit the ball 117.9 MPH and sent it 469 feet. The ball landed on top of the Royals Hall of Fame in left field.Judges 24th home run of the season was the third-longest home run in Major League Baseball this season and tied for the third-hardest-hit home run of the season.Yankees manager Aaron Boone made sure he was in a good position to see where Judges deep drive finally landed."I made sure to jump up and get a good spot where I could really watch it," Boone said postgame with a smile. "I mean, I was under control. Poised. I was in a good spot to really watch it. That was evaporated."As for Judge, he was content that the first-inning home run put a pair of runs on the scoreboard for the Yankees."Just glad to get the two runs," Judge said, when asked whether he took a moment to marvel at his latest long ball. "There's no time. It's on to the next. You do something, you enjoy it for a moment, and then you're on to the next."ALEX RODRIGUEZ HAS BITTERSWEET REACTION TO PETE ROSE'S HALL OF FAME ELIGIBILITYJudge is in the midst of another American League MVP campaign, as the two-time AL MVP has a league-best .396 batting average to go along with his 24 home runs and 58 RBI.The six-time All-Star also leads the big leagues in on-base percentage, slugging percentage, hits and total bases.Yet despite his incredible start to the season, Boone is still waiting for Judge to get "catch fire" at the plate."If he keeps ascending from here, I won't be surprised," Boone said. "The most amazing part of it is I feel like he's just playing well. I don't feel like he's been on fire at any point. That's what is amazing about it. He's out there playing well. Getting his hits, doing his thing. But in a lot of ways, I'm honestly waiting for him to catch fire. That's when it gets really scary.""He's playing in a different league," Boone added with another smile. "He needs to get called up."Judge ended the day going 2 for 5 at the plate, as he added an RBI single in the sixth inning.Yankees starting pitcher Max Fried pitched seven innings of two-run ball while catcher Austin Wells had five RBIs in the win.The Yankees (40-25) and Royals (34-33) play the second game of their three-game series on Wednesday at 7:40 p.m. ET.Follow Fox News Digitals sports coverage on X, and subscribe to the Fox News Sports Huddle newsletter.

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth sparred with Democratic senators during a hearing Wednesday about the Trump administration's deployment of 700 Marines to Los Angeles amid the ongoing anti-Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) riots.In his opening statement before the Senate Appropriations Committee hearing, Hegseth reiterated how President Donald Trump charged him to focus on restoring "warfighting, lethality, meritocracy, standards and readiness" to the Department of Defense a point Sen. Jack Reed, D-R.I., later honed in on during his line of questioning for the secretary.Reed noted that the Trump administration federalized 4,000 California National Guard members and deployed 700 Marines to Los Angeles.Reed said what is happening in Los Angeles comes in addition to the approximately 11,000 military personnel, including active duty soldiers and National Guard members, who have deployed to the southern border in support of U.S. Customs and Border Protection a figure which Hegseth corrected. The Defense secretary said some 13,000 military personnel have deployed to the southern border and that he has visited those troops several times.JOHNSON SAYS HEGSETH POSSIBLY SENDING MARINES TO ANTI-ICE RIOTS NOT HEAVY-HANDED: 'DETERRING EFFECT'"People will say that mobilization hurts readiness. When you talk to them, it actually improves their readiness," Hegseth said.Reed told Hegseth, "Your whole ethic seems to be revolved on the lethality of the military force. How is this operation with Marines and National Guardsmen improving their lethality?"Readiness and training and accountability is all about lethality," Hegseth said. "The more ready you are, the more capable you are, the more accountable you are, the higher your standards are, it all makes you more lethal.""The mission in Los Angeles, as you know well, sir, is not about lethality," the secretary continued. "It's about maintaining law and order on behalf of law enforcement agents who deserve to do their job without being attacked by mobs of people. We are very proud that the National Guard and the Marines are on the streets defending the ICE agents, and they will continue."A Defense official told Fox News that the Marines who arrived in Los Angeles are an infantry unit and are still undergoing training, including in nonlethal weapons and use of force protocols in a domestic setting, at Seal Beach. They have not yet been tapped to respond to street demonstrations as of Wednesday morning.Reed argued that "law and order is a civil function under the Constitution," but Hegseth said that "there is plenty of precedent for the U.S. supporting law enforcement officers.""What your military is doing right now is laying concertina wire, guarding buildings, maintaining vehicles for other services," Reed said. "This is not only, I think, illegal, but also a diminution of the readiness and the focus of the military."California Gov. Gavin Newsom sued the Trump administration for federalizing the National Guard to respond to the riots and for tapping the Marines. A federal judge on Tuesday night declined California's request for an immediate restraining order to block Trump's use of military personnel and scheduled a court hearing to further weigh the legality of the matter for Thursday.FEDERAL JUDGE REFUSES TO BLOCK TRUMP'S LA NATIONAL GUARD DEPLOYMENT ON NEWSOM'S TIMEFRAMEIn a separate line of questioning at the Senate hearing Wednesday, Hegseth said Newsom "wants to play politics."Sen. Brian Schatz, D-Hawaii, had asked another witness, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Air Force Gen. John D. Caine, if the United States had been "invaded by a foreign nation" or if "there is a rebellion somewhere in the United States."Caine deferred to the Department of Homeland Security to answer border-related questions in terms of a potential invasion and added on the question of a rebellion that, "there are certainly some frustrated folks out there.""Its quite easy to point out that there has been an invasion of 21 million illegals in our country under the previous administration, so this administration was elected to get a hold of that," Hegseth added. "And when you have ICE officers being attacked with concrete blocks, they should be allowed to do their jobs."Schatz interjected, telling Hegseth he would "really like not to create a viral moment."The senator said he was trying to "understand the scope of the order," which, he says, does not specify a location or which Marines or which Guard members would be mobilized."Did you just mobilize every guard everywhere and every service member everywhere? I mean, create the framework for that," Schatz said.CLICK HERE TO GET THE FOX NEWS APPHegseth said an initial order federalized 2,000 National Guard troops in California and there was a follow-up order for an additional 2,000 members because the situation there "required more resources in order to support law enforcement.""So part of it is getting ahead of a problem, so that if in other places, if there are other riots in places where law enforcement officers are threatened, we would have the capability to surge National Guard there if necessary," Hegseth said. "And thankfully, in most of those states, you'd have a governor that recognizes the need for it, supports it, and mobilizes it, him or herself. In California, unfortunately, the governor wants to play politics with it."Fox News' Liz Friden contributed to this report.

Sen. Josh Hawley, R-Mo., launched an investigation into a left-wing group in California that he says may be financially supporting violent protests in Los Angeles.Hawley wrote a letter to the Coalition for Humane Immigrant Rights (CHIRLA) on Wednesday, saying the organization may have an "alleged role in financially and materially supporting" protests and riots in Los Angeles, which he described as "coordinated.""Who is funding the LA riots? This violence isnt spontaneous. As chairman of the Judiciary Subcommittee on Crime & Terrorism, Im launching an investigation to find out," Hawley announced on social media.The letter, addressed to CHIRLA Executive Director Angelica Salas, notes that "credible reporting" has indicated that the organization has provided "logistical support and financial resources to individuals engaged in these disruptive actions."FEDERAL OFFICIALS SLAM DEMOCRATS FOR 'DANGEROUS' RHETORIC AS ICE AGENTS FACE VIOLENT MOBS IN LA, NYC"Let me be clear: bankrolling civil unrest is not protected speech. It is aiding and abetting criminal conduct. Accordingly, you must immediately cease and desist any further involvement in the organization, funding or promotion of these unlawful activities," Hawley wrote.The letter additionally requests that CHIRLA provide internal communications relating to any protest planning or funding, as well as financial documents related to the same, including third-party contracts, vendor agreements and various other business relationships.Hawley also requested travel records for individuals involved with the organization if they have been reimbursed by CHIRLA, as well as the organization's donor lists.NATIONAL GUARD TO BE DEPLOYED IN LOS ANGELES COUNTY AS ANTI-ICE PROTESTS RAGE: BORDER CZAR TOM HOMANIRS records obtained by Fox News show that CHIRLA has received $34 million in government grants, including three from former President Joe Biden's administration for $750,000.President Donald Trump has already cut funding for the organization. Nevertheless, CHIRLA still receives state and city grant funds to support its lawyers fighting against deportations.CHIRLA is also responsible for creating the so-called Rapid Response Network, the hotline immigrants use to report ICE raids. The network then sends text alerts, giving migrants an opportunity to hide.CHIRLA did not immediately respond to a request for comment from Fox News Digital.Trump has been vocal about his belief that many of the rioters and protesters in Los Angeles are professional agitators rather than real protesters."The people that are causing the problem are professional agitators. They're insurrectionists. They're bad people. They should be in jail," Trump said.California Gov. Gavin Newsom swiftly responded to Trump's comments in a post on social media."The President of the United States just called for the arrest of a sitting Governor," Newsom wrote. "This is a day I hoped I would never see in America. I dont care if youre a Democrat or a Republican this is a line we cannot cross as a nation this is an unmistakable step toward authoritarianism."

The Southern Baptist Convention adopted a lengthy resolution this week that, in part, calls for the overturning of the Supreme Court's 2015 gay marriage ruling.The text of the resolution, titled, "On Restoring Moral Clarity through Gods Design for Gender, Marriage, and the Family," calls "for the overturning of laws and court rulings, including Obergefell v. Hodges, that defy Gods design for marriage and family."The multifaceted and wide-ranging resolution calls "for laws that affirm marriage between one man and one woman, recognize the biological reality of male and female, protect childrens innocence against sexual predation, affirm and strengthen parental rights in education and healthcare, incentivize family formation in life-affirming ways, and ensure safety and fairness in athletic competition."PLANNED PARENTHOOD USING LOOPHOLE TO GET MINORS GENDER TRANSITIONS WITHOUT PARENTS' OK: WATCHDOGIt also urges defunding Planned Parenthood and directing public funds toward "life-affirming healthcare providers."The 10-year anniversary of the high court's controversial landmark 5-4 gay marriage decision falls later this month. "The Constitution, however, does not permit the State to bar same-sex couples from marriage on the same terms as accorded to couples of the opposite sex," the opinion asserted.TRUMP JOKES HIS ADMIN WILL FORGET ABOUT SEPARATION OF CHURCH AND STATE: WERE BRINGING RELIGION BACK'Resolutions committee chair Dr. Andrew Walker, who described the SBC as the biggest Protestant denomination in the U.S., emphasized during a press conference that he recognizes the "headwinds.""There is very little desire, even on the conservative side, I think, to go to bat for marriage in this culture," he said, explaining that the resolution aims to convey that "Southern Baptists are not going anywhere on this issue."GRETCHEN WHITMER SOUNDS OFF ON PUSH TO CONDEMN US SUPREME COURT'S GAY MARRIAGE RULING: HELL NOHe noted that he hopes "this is used as a mechanism for encouragement for other conservative-minded evangelicals."
