President Donald Trump insisted that the war with Iran would only be over when he felt it in his bones.

Fox News host Brian Kilmeade asked Trump about the war during an interview on Friday.

Pro-MAGA morning show host Gina Loudon suggested President Donald Trump was using the Iran war to distract from the Epstein files.

During a Friday conversation on Real America's Voice, co-host Terrance Bates followed up Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth's briefing by arguing the U.S. was in a "holy war."

Rep. Tim Burchett (R-TN) speculated that his MAGA Christian followers might "start killing people" after New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani practiced his Muslim faith in government offices.

During a Thursday interview with Burchett, MAGA influencer Benny Johnson noted that Mamdani had recently held a religious event in the mayor's office, much like President Donald Trump has done at the White House.

At least two people were reportedly injured, and a gunman was dead following an active shooter alert at Old Dominion University in Norfolk, Virginia.

"O.D.U. Urgent Alert: Active threat reported at Constant Hall. Follow Run-Hide-Fight protocols. Emergency personnel responding. Avoid the area," an alert from the faculty read on Thursday morning.

President Donald Trump claims to have lost interest in winning a Nobel Peace Prize following the war he started with Iran.

In a Thursday interview with the Washington Examiner, Trump seemed to have cast aside his hopes for the peace prize, saying he had "no idea" if the war in Iran would "get him over the line" with the Nobel Committee.

The White House's "Rapid Response" team quickly went to work attacking CNN after the network broadcast the first public message from new Iranian Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei.

The White House included a clip from CNN with part of the Iranian message in its attack.

Fox News correspondent Peter Doocy seemed to tire of President Donald Trump's doublespeak on the Iran conflict and pressed him to define the operation.

"And we did a little excursion. We had to take this little couple of weeks, a few weeks of excursion, but it's been incredible," Trump said while touring a factory in Ohio on Wednesday. "Our military is unbelievable, the job they're doing. I would say, to put it mildly, way ahead of schedule. We've knocked out their Navy, their military in it, all forms. We've knocked out just about everything there is, including their leadership, twice. We knocked out twice their leadership."

President Donald Trump claimed not to know that the U.S. military determined that it was responsible for killing about 150 people in the accidental bombing of an Iranian girls' school.

"Day 11, and as you know, we're doing something that nobody ever thought was possible to do," Trump announced to reporters outside the White House on Wednesday. "Our military is the best, it's the most powerful in the world, and they're hitting them very hard."

Sen. John Cornyn (R-TX) had an angry confrontation with an NBC film crew after he changed course on his support for the filibuster to attempt to push through a voting bill backed by President Donald Trump.

In a Wednesday op-ed for the New York Post, Cornyn admitted that he had changed his mind on the filibuster as he was hoping for an endorsement from the president in his tight Senate race.

Podcaster Joe Rogan slammed President Donald Trump for waging an "insane" series of strikes in Iran after running for election by promising not to start wars for regime change.

During a Tuesday conversation on Rogan's podcast, author Michael Shellenberger said he had scrapped a column on the war in Iran because Trump's reasoning was unclear.

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt snapped at CBS correspondent Nancy Cordes and insisted President Donald Trump wasn't "making anything up" when it came to the war with Iran.

"The president said yesterday for the first time that he had to strike Iran because he believed Iran was going to strike U.S. targets within seven days," Cordes explained during a Tuesday briefing. "He then bumped that down later to three days. Where is he getting that?"

Pro-MAGA morning hosts David Brody, Gina Loudon, and Terrence Bates expressed full-throated support for Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth's "religious war" in Iran after he quoted scripture to support the U.S. strikes.

"Religious war! It's on!" Brody exclaimed during a Real America's Voice segment following Hegseth's Tuesday briefing. "I'm telling you that's happening. We've always looked at this from a Judeo-Christian standpoint, as relates to spiritual warfare. We know that God is richly blessed America."

Sen. Rand Paul warned of a "disastrous election" if President Donald Trump did not end his war against Iran.

"As far as the reasons for the war, there have been many different reasons floated, but none of them, I think, have been very convincing," Paul told Fox Business host Maria Bartiromo on Tuesday. "Another statement has been made, well, they're a week away from a nuclear weapon. You can take clips from the '90s all the way through the present of people arguing that they're a week away from nuclear weapons."
