Fox News host Charlie Hurt argued that President Donald Trump's administration should bring back child labor to replace undocumented immigrants.

Following a visit to a blueberry farm over the weekend, Hurt argued with Fox News hosts Rachel Campos-Duffy and Charlie Kirk about whether or not the government should be subsidizing small farms.

A Massachusetts man called on President Donald Trump to go "a lot further" on immigration by shooting undocumented immigrants.

During Sunday's Washington Journal program on C-SPAN, a man named Ryan called in to urge the president to be tougher on immigration.

A former official who worked with Attorney General Pam Bondi in Florida predicted that Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche would strike a "hidden pardon" deal with Jeffrey Epstein's accomplice, Ghislaine Maxwell.

As Blanche was reportedly meeting with Maxwell on Thursday, Bondi's former border czar, Dave Aronberg, called the move "extraordinary."

Rep. Tim Burchett (R-TN) suggested that Republicans might push for a lighter sentence for convicted sex offender Ghislaine Maxwell if they agreed with her upcoming testimony.

On Wednesday, Burchett was asked if he trusted Maxwell after House Oversight Committee Chair James Comer (R-KY) issued a subpoena for her to sit for a deposition related to Jeffrey Epstein.

Pro-MAGA correspondent Brian Glenn said he overheard reporters whispering "that's not true" and "that's a lie" at a briefing where Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard suggested President Barack Obama was guilty of treason.

At the Wednesday briefing, Gabbard said she had referred Obama and others to the Department of Justice for "treasonous conspiracy" and a "years-long coup" against President Donald Trump.

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt suggested that President Donald Trump would push for his government to cancel all contracts with Elon Musk's xAI company.

During a Wednesday White House briefing, Leavitt was asked if Trump supported "federal agencies contracting with Elon Musk's AI company."

Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard avoided mention of President Donald Trump's Jeffrey Epstein scandal while suggesting former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton had "psycho-emotional problems" and used "heavy tranquilizers."

During a White House briefing on Wednesday, Gabbard shared a declassified report from House Republicans about whether or not Russian President Vladimir Putin interfered in the 2016 U.S. presidential election.

House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) scrambled to deny reports that he was adjourning the U.S. House of Representatives to prevent a vote on releasing files related to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.

"Yesterday, some of you may have seen a false headline in the New York Times, and the headline was terribly misleading," Johnson said on Wednesday. "It said, 'House Republicans are adjourning until September to avoid a vote on releasing Epstein materials.' I just want you to know, and everybody here knows, that's an outright lie."

Rep. Greg Stanton (D-AZ) scolded acting FEMA director David Richardson for being "nowhere near Texas" in the days after a flood killed scores of people.

During a House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee hearing on Wednesday, Stanton noted that Richardson had a duty under the law "to act proactively and not to wait for a request from Governor Abbott to pre-position resources."

Sen. Josh Hawley (R-MO) fled the stage after pro-Palestinian protesters interrupted an event with members of Congress.

While appearing at an Axios event on Wednesday, Hawley was interrupted by protesters angry over his support for Israel.

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said she was "not sure" if President Donald Trump or anyone in his administration communicated with Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) before a vote on releasing the Jeffrey Epstein documents was scuttled by canceling the final day of Congress before summer break.

Although the House was scheduled to hold votes on Thursday, Johnson moved to cut the week short as many members indicated that they would push to force the Trump administration to release files on the convicted sex offender.

President Donald Trump insisted that he was not aware of the Department of Justice's effort to speak to Jeffrey Epstein associate Ghislaine Maxwell.

Amid the fallout from the Trump administration's decision not to release additional Epstein files, the president was asked on Tuesday if he urged Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche to meet with Maxwell, who is serving a 20-year sentence for sex offenses.

A fan of President Donald Trump told C-SPAN that she wasn't concerned about the release of files on Jeffrey Epstein because it was "human nature" to molest children.

During Tuesday's Washington Journal program, host John McArdle opened the phone lines to ask Republicans if they wanted to see more Epstein files released.
