After President Donald Trump federalized California National Guard troops in response to anti-ICE riots in Los Angeles, progressive Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom told reporters, "Its about time Donald Trump grow up. I want to get them back under my control."Speaking outside a Los Angeles church Wednesday, Newsom, who is believed to have presidential aspirations, urged Trump to release the remaining National Guard troops in LA. He called the deployment a waste of hundreds of millions of dollars.The governor, who tried to sue the Trump administration over its use of the National Guard to respond to the rioting, called the president a "chaos agent" who has "torn asunder" California communities.PENTAGON SCALING DOWN NATIONAL GUARD DEPLOYMENT TO LAThis comes after Newsom called Trump a "son of a b----," something he did not back away from when asked about it during the news conference."I don't think they understand any other kind of language," and "I have no apologies for standing tall and firm and pushing back against their cruelty," Newsom said."It's a disgrace," Newsom said. "The president of the United States decided to advance his rote cruelty by utilizing the brave men and women of the National Guard as pawns in an effort to theatrically show his strength."Newsom claimed the deployment was a massive waste of time and money.He accused Trump of having "burned" hundreds of millions of dollars "just to try to sear in your mind that he's some tough guy because he didn't get enough hugs from his parents growing up.""This is about families. It's about community. It's about the sense of place. It's about our economy. And it's about time Donald Trump grow up. It's about time Donald Trump understand what the hell he is doing," he added."And, so, I'm here in front of a church, on church grounds, mindful that our democracy is not on firm ground. And mindful of our responsibility to be assertive at this moment."The governor also criticized Trump for sending troops to a U.S. city rather than overseas."He deployed roughly 5,000 military, not overseas. In fact, his entire first term the president of the United States did not even send military boots on the ground overseas his entire first term. [In] the first six months of his administration, he decides to send them to the United States of America."NEWSOM, VANCE EXCHANGE JABS OVER IMMIGRATION AFTER VP'S CALIFORNIA VACATION: 'HOPE YOU ENJOY YOUR FAMILY TIME'He said the deployment "is a preview of things to come.""If you think this is about California, you are fooling yourself. These are operations you're going to see all across the United States of America," Newsom added. "This cruelty, isn't about terrorizing communities. It's about appearing tough."The governor also said he wanted to regain control over "my National Guard or your National Guard.""I want to get them back under my control so we can get them back doing the kind of work to control wildfires, to keep our community safe, to address the issue of counter-narcotics, to address the issue of fentanyl," he said.SANTA MONICA BUSINESS OWNER OFFERING ONE-WAY FLIGHTS TO GET HOMELESS OUT OF CALIFORNIAIn response, Abigail Jackson, a White House spokeswoman, told Fox News Digital in an emailed statement that Newsom "is on the wrong side of history, and he will have to answer for his atrocious policies.""This is whats actually harming our communities: Gavin Newscums pro-criminal illegal alien policies," said Jackson, adding the governor "recently protested a successful immigration raid at a California marijuana farm that rescued children who were victims of labor exploitation and detained rapists, pedophiles and other criminals."The American people elected President Trump to deport these sick criminals, and a vast majority of American voters including Democrats support these policies."

The 2025 MLB All-Star game was one for the history books.For the first time in the history of the Midsummer Classic, a swing-off was needed to determine a winner.Aaron Judge, MLB's second-leading home run hitter, was noticeably absent from the group of AL Home Run Derby-style participants.CLICK HERE FOR MORE SPORTS COVERAGE ON FOXNEWS.COMLos Angeles Dodgers skipper Dave Roberts and the Yankees' Aaron Boone were the managers for this year's All-Star game after their teams met in last season's World Series.Boone addressed concerns over his player selection for the swing-off, saying each manager was required to submit three names the day before the event. He added that his decision was based on the idea Judge would not be in the All-Star game in the late innings.SOUNDBITES AND SWING-OFFS: TAKEAWAYS FROM AN ELECTRIC 2025 MLB ALL-STAR GAME"We had to pick our guys yesterday," Boone said during a postgame news conference. "Wanted to make sure I picked guys I knew would be in the game there and still hot. That was my choice."Athletics star Brent Rooker, Mariners outfielder Randy Arozarena and Rays player Jonathan Aranda were the three AL players who participated in the swing-off.Phillies star Kyle Schwarber hit three home runs to lift the NL to an All-Star game victory and was named the game's MVP.For the first time in four years, major league players took the field for an All-Star game wearing the uniforms of the teams they play for. Since the Atlanta Braves are a National League club, the NL All-Stars wore their white home uniforms. The AL All-Stars wore their gray road uniforms.In the past few years, players were given specially designed All-Star uniforms."I wanted to go out there and represent New York, so I just kind of thought about all the first-time All-Stars," the Yankees slugger told Fox News Digital in the American League clubhouse just hours before the first pitch at Tuesday's MLB All-Star game."I just kind of voiced (my opinion on the situation). I wouldn't say it was my call or anything. Like, I think it's cool for the fans too. I remember as a kid turning on the all the old All-Star games (on TV) and seeing the players in their uniforms."When asked about his thoughts on the Home Run Derby, Judge said with a smile, "I already did it. I don't know what else you want from me."I think it's time for somebody else to step up and do their thing and have fun with. I love seeing new faces in the game go out there and do their thing."Jazz Chisholm Jr. represented the Yankees Monday night in the Home Run Derby. The second baseman had the lowest home run total of the participants and failed to advance past the first round.Judge remained supportive of his teammate and hinted Chisholm has his eye on chance at redemption in 2026."It's his first one. It's a big moment, but I know he's always ready for the big moment. But I think he got a base hit in the game tonight, so he was just staying ready for the All-Star game. My guy's an All-Star. He said he's going to do it again next year if he gets 20 homers. So, I think he'll be on a revenge tour for next season."Follow Fox News Digitals sports coverage on X, and subscribe to the Fox News Sports Huddle newsletter.

White said she did not believe it was a "reinjury." Clark missed time in May due to a quad injury and was recently sidelined for five games with a left groin strain."I'm not really sure that it's a reinjury as much as a different kind of injury.

Podcaster Joe Rogan spoke candidly about how a series of political revelations persuaded him to interview then-candidate Donald Trump in the 11th hour of the 2024 election.The 2024 presidential election was dubbed by some to be the "podcast election," as many suggested that Trumps appearances on numerous podcasts popular with young men swayed the outcome. The biggest example of all was Trumps interview on the "Joe Rogan Experience" in late October, which currently has 59 million views.In a newly released interview conducted earlier this year, "Ultimate Human" podcast host Gary Brecka noted how Rogan was initially hesitant to interview Trump on his show, and asked him what eventually changed his mind. "Well, there was a bunch of things that happened," Rogan said. "First of all, there was the lawfare. There was these lawsuits that they were trying to pin on him. They were trying to convict him and turn him into a felon, and they were doing it so blatantly and obviously. The case with the bookkeeping error or the bookkeeping, whatever it was. The misdemeanor that they had charged him with 34 felonies for, which isnt even a felony. Its a misdemeanor, and its also past the statute of limitations. None of it made any sense. And people were cheering it on. Hes a convicted felon."DEMOCRATS SEEKING TO BUY THE 'NEXT JOE ROGAN' OF THE LEFT AFTER 2024 ELECTION DEFEAT"Hey, they can do that to you. Do you understand that?," Rogan warned. "If they can do that to a former president, a former f---ing president whos rich as s---, they can do that to him, they can do that to you, too. You cant cheer this on. This is insane."The assassination attempt against Trump in Pennsylvania was another major factor that persuaded Rogan. He argued the incident could have been a "Lee Harvey Oswald 2.0."Another big influence, Rogan said, was the media bias against Trump. Because of the bias, he felt he needed to step up to provide a fair interview."There's no real conversations with him where you're just treating him like a human being. Like everything, he's being grilled and then everything's taken out of context and I'm seeing him being taken out of context on the campaign trail and like it was just gross. It was just so anti-American," he said.He added, "If you're an American and you believe in our justice system and if you believe in our system of electing representatives, it should be [that] the best people should have this opportunity to express what their plan is, This is what I want to do. This is where I stand on the issues. This is how I think I could pull it off. And then the American people are supposed to look at this person saying it and decide."CLICK HERE FOR MORE COVERAGE OF MEDIA AND CULTUREAfter he did the interview in late October, Rogan went on to officially endorse Trump on the eve of the election.CLICK HERE TO GET THE FOX NEWS APP

Senate Majority Leader John Thune said Republicans will vote on a Russia sanctions bill as soon as President Donald Trump green-lights the legislation.A bipartisan U.S.sanctions bill co-sponsored by Sens. Richard Blumenthal, D-Conn., and Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., would target the Russian economy and countries that help prop up Russian President Vladimir Putins war machine by buying cheap oil and gas."We ought to do whatever we can to help Ukraine succeed and to put pressure on Russia to come to the table," Thune said Wednesday in a wide-ranging interview on "Special Report."The bill has 85 co-sponsors in the Senate but has been put on hold after Trump announced Monday at the White House that he wouldsell weapons to NATO countries for distribution to Ukraine.Trump alsothreatened to enact 100% secondary tariffs on countries that trade with Russia if a deal isnt made within 50 days."The president, I think, has decided to move sort of unilaterally on that front, both on sanctions and with respect to weapons delivery to Ukraine. So, I think he understands what it's going to take to get the Russians to the table," Thune explained. "We want to work with him and be partners on that."TRUMP'S BOLD PIVOT ON UKRAINE SENDS MAJOR SIGNALRussian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergey Ryabkov told the Russian state-owned news agency TASS that ultimatums and demands to Moscow are unacceptable."It is necessary to focus on political anddiplomatic work. The president of the Russian Federation has repeatedly said that we are ready to negotiate and that the diplomatic path is the one we prefer," Ryabkov said.He added that the war in Ukraine would continue if his countrys war goals werent addressed through diplomacy. Moscow has maintained its maximalist demands during two rounds of negotiations in Istanbul, which Ukrainian officials say essentially call for Kyivs capitulation.Trump has grown frustrated with Putin, who has refused to agree to a 30-day unconditional ceasefire proposed by the United States and its European allies earlier this year.NATO JETS SCRAMBLED AMID RUSSIA'S LARGEST DRONE ATTACK ON UKRAINEHis two-week deadlines for Russia to advance peace talks with Ukraine have repeatedly expired without significant progress or consequences.UkrainesAir Force said Tuesday that Russia launched more than 400 drones at multiple Ukrainian cities, including President Volodymyr Zelenskyys hometown of Kryvyi Rih."I think what the president wants in all these circumstances he starts with from a proposition that he wants peace in these areas of conflict around the world. But at some point, there's got to be leverage on Russia," Thune told Fox News chief political anchor Bret Baier."And right now, they are continuing tofire into areas where they are killing innocent civilians."
