A dishonest CBS ‘News’ hack learned the hard way that it’s a big mistake to try to school Border Czar Tom Homan without doing basic homework.

As The Gateway Pundit previously reported, Homan appeared on CBS News on Friday to speak about the Trump Administration’s immigration policies, especially when it relates to ICE tactics.

CBS’s Camilo Montoya-Galvez went in with a clear agenda: try to embarrass Homan by ‘exposing’ the ‘high’ number of illegal alien deaths that have happened in ICE custody. But he was the one who ended up getting owned on his national TV.

After Montoya-Galvez asked a “loaded question” on the topic, Homan quickly flipped the tables on him with a great question he had no answer for: how many ICE detainee deaths occurred during the Biden regime?

Montoya-Glavez froze before finally answering ” a significant number.” Then, he again tried to criticize the Trump Administration on the topic of ICE deaths, which he said was on course to set a record.

This turned out to be another mistake, as Montoya-Galzez was forced to admit he had no data on how many ICE detainee deaths occurred under Biden when Homan asked again.

NEW: Tom Homan *TURNS TABLES* on CBS News immigration correspondent and STUMPS him

CBS News’ Camilo Montoya-Galvez asked Homan about deaths in ICE custody under Trump, claiming they “could set a new record high.”

While Montoya-Galvez noted the Trump Admin was detaining far more illegal immigrants, he argued that couldn’t be the sole reason.

Homan fired back by asking how many died in custody under Biden.

Montoya-Galvez sat silently for 4 seconds.

Homan asked again and again.

Montoya-Galvez had no idea what the answer was.

When he finally acknowledged he didn’t have the data, Homan retorted: “Of course you don’t.”

Homan asserted Montoya-Galvez’s question was an example of bias against Trump.

He also defended ICE’s detention standards.

Deaths in ICE detention are tragic, no matter which administration they occur under.

But it doesn’t seem like there was anywhere near as much attention on this issue under Biden.

Not only did Montoya-Galvez not know the data, it looks like he did not even cover ICE detention deaths under Biden.

No wonder Homan’s question stumped him.

MONTOYA-GALVEZ: We looked at official ICE data, sir, and found that 57 people have died in the agency’s custody so far under this administration. In fact, somebody was just reported to have died in ICE custody today by the agency.

2026 could set a new record high in the number of detainees dying. What is being done to prevent that? And I know one partial explanation is that more people are being detained and, so tragically, more people are dying.

But that can’t be the only explanation, can it be?

HOMAN: How many people died during the Biden Administration?

MONTOYA-GALVEZ: (silence)

HOMAN: How many people died in custody during the Biden Administration? Do you know?

MONTOYA-GALVEZ: A significant number.

HOMAN: Do you know?

MONTOYA-GALVEZ: But this is going to be the highest year, in 2026, if the pace continues.

HOMAN: I’m just asking: How many people died (in custody) during the Biden Administration?

MONTOYA-GALVEZ: I don’t have the data here.

HOMAN: Of course you don’t. It’s another loaded question against the Trump Administration.

ICE has the highest detention standards in the industry…We have the highest detention standards in the industry, higher than any state or federal institution.

Our deaths in custody are among the lowest of any state prison or Bureau of Prisons. Numbers are up because our population has doubled in custody. I think the other day we had like 74,000 in custody.

So we have more people in custody, and we’re dealing with people from third-world nations. Some of the first doctors they see are our doctors.

And matter of fact, no one ever talks about how many lives that ICE saves in detention when they found a serious medical issue that the alien didn’t even know about and we treat.

When I was ICE director, I think we spent almost a billion dollars on medical care.

Summer is in our rearview mirror and fall is here. Shorter days, cooler temperatures, leaves changing, football back on tv, there is a lot to love about fall. Unfortunately, sweater weather means more than pumpkin spice lattes and the NFL on Sundays, it also means the beginning of respiratory illness season.

Unfortunately, it appears this year’s respiratory illness season is off to an early start:

Common respiratory illnesses tend to go hand in hand with the end of summer and start of fall, when students are back in the classroom and germs spread from kids to families and colleagues. 

Before you know it, everyone in your circle is reaching for a tissue. 

The traditional start of the season for the common cold, influenza and RSV is on the horizon, but cases of COVID-19 are ticking upward. 

This uptick in COVID cases is the first rise since spring:

For the first time since March, cases of coronavirus have seen increases in every state, with the sharpest rises in the South and West, according to new data from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

The CDC’s National Respiratory and Enteric Virus Surveillance System, or NREVSS, is a lab-based system that monitors respiratory and enteric virus activity across the U.S.

Hospitalizations and deaths from COVID remain low, but health experts predict cases will continue to climb as immunity declines from earlier vaccinations and infections. 

It’s Not Just COVID

The start of respiratory illness season isn’t just about the return of COVID, it’s also about the return of the common cold, RSV, and – of course – the flu.

While these are different illnesses, they are transmitted in much the same ways, according to Dr. Peter McCullough:

These viruses spread through three primary routes:

• Droplet— Coughing and sneezing launch virus-laden particles that land on mucosal surfaces. A single sneeze produces ~40,000 droplets traveling at ~100 mph.

• Fomite— Rhinovirus survives hours on doorknobs, phones, keyboards. You touch, you transfer to eyes/nose/mouth, you’re infected. This is arguably the dominant route for rhinovirus specifically.

• Direct contact— Handshakes, hugs, close-quarters conversations. Skin-to-skin then skin-to-face.

Incubation is typically 24–72 hours. Peak contagiousness occurs during the first 2–3 days of symptoms. Even though there may be more congestion on days 5-7, there is less spread. The average adult logs 2–4 colds annually; children in daycare can hit 6–8.

Not only are the paths of transmission similar, many of the symptoms are so similar that they can be difficult at times to tell one from the other.

Some symptoms are hard to distinguish among illnesses, especially with respiratory viruses. Others are unmistakable.

— The common cold can be caused by several different types of viruses and can cause a runny nose, congestion, cough, sneezing, sore throat, headaches, body aches or low fever for less than a week.

— The flu, caused by influenza viruses that are always changing, leads to fever, chills, cough, sore throat, runny nose, body aches, headaches and feeling tired. Flu symptoms tend to hit more quickly than cold symptoms, and can last anywhere from a few days to two weeks.

— COVID-19 can cause fever, chills, cough, short of breath, sore throat, congestion, loss of smell or taste, fatigue, aches, headache, nausea, or vomiting for several days.

— RSV can cause a runny nose, congestion, coughing, sneezing, wheezing, fever and a loss of appetite for a week or two.

Last Year Trump Stockpiled Medications

As a result of last year’s horrific respiratory illness season, marked by one of the worst flu seasons in decades, President Trump directed the federal government to accumulate essential pharmaceuticals, such as antivirals and the components of more than 80 vital medications.

“To prevent shortages in the future, we are accumulating a six-month supply of essential medications.”

— White House Fact Sheet, September 2025

If the Trump administration thinks stocking up on meds is a good idea, doesn’t it make sense for you to do the same?

As the polls closed in continental-sized Brazil, exit polls signal that incumbent Lula da Silva and major opponent Flavio Bolsonaro are to dispute a second round.

It’s not unusual for polls to be wrong, but Lulu’s package of Goodness neutralized the lead by Flavio, the son of jailed political prisoner and former President, Jair Bolsonaro.

Socialist CCP-backed Lula survived one of the largest scandals in the country’s history, in which bank fraud hit his son Lulinha and his right-hand man Jacqes Wagner.

Shady Master bank owner Vorcaro had kompromat on everyone, including video of orgies with top republic figures.

Lulinha’s lobbyist lover wrote messages about money for the president.

But Teflon Lula survived all that by using the state machine to an unprecedented degree, in a country where so many live by welfare.

Lula increased the Bolsa Familia value and forbid online betting that he himself authorized.

He had the help of MSM and the crookedest Supreme Court on the planet, led by wicked Justice Alexandre de Moraes.

How wicked is Brazilian Justice Alexandre de Moraes?

Moraes returned former President Jair Bolsonaro back to prison based on trumped-up charges immediately after Jair’s eighth surgery due to the aftermath of a 2018 attempted assassination.  The popular former president remains in prison to this day. He pulled out the same playbook to destroy his political opposition that Democrats used against President Trump.

Wicked de Moraes was recently caught in a scandal himself, linking Justice Moraes to a disgraced banker at the center of a multi-billion dollar fraud scheme has plunged Brazil’s highest court into a crisis, reshaping a narrow presidential election that takes place today.

So we have it: it’s entirely possible that Lula will win his 4th mandate in a country where you can only have two.

President Trump on Saturday told supporters that Republicans are going to “win big” against the Democrats in November and “shove it up their ass.”

“Tonight, you see the spirit,” Trump said. “It’s like that in Texas. It’s like that all over. And I tell you, they’re in for a big surprise. They’re in for a big surprise. You just gotta — very simple, you got to get out and vote.”

Trump continued, “If you do that, we’re going to win, and we’re going to win big.”

“And we’re going to shove it up their ass,” he added, gesturing straight to the cameras.

WATCH:

Trump went on to slam the fake news and their polls on his approval rating going into the midterms in a Truth Social post this morning, writing, “The Polls have ALWAYS underestimated MAGA.”

“They try to suppress the Vote, but I won all 7 Swing States, the Popular Vote, 86% of Counties, and 99% of Primaries this year. I AM ON THE BALLOT! President DONALD J. TRUMP,” he added.

He further published the following message from longtime political consultant and Trump consultant Dick Morris:

“Since November of 2025 in monthly polls by McLaughlin, your job approval rating has always been between 47 and 50 percent. I have never seen anything like that in fifty years of polling. Almost every politician sees his numbers rise and fall each month but not you. You won the election in 2024 with 49.8 percent of the popular vote and the latest McLaughlin Poll, taken this month, has your job approval at 49% – the exact same as your vote share. No other political figure has ever had this level of consistency in his ratings. Through the Iran War and gas price rises and falls, your job approval is the same. It never changes. And 49% is enough to win – look at how that level of vote won in 2024! In the same Mclaughlin Poll, the generic ballot is 50-48 Democrat. That is also enough to keep the House Republican. Past history indicates that anything less than a four point margin for Democrats likely points to a Republican House victory. And almost all polls are showing Republican gains in the generic ballot.”

The remarks came during a rally in deep red Ohio last night, where Trump was campaigning for Senator John Husted and Republican gubernatorial candidate Vivek Ramaswamy.

“We’re going to be campaigning for a couple of very good people. Vivek [Ramaswamy], we know about. As you know, Senator Husted is running a race against Brown, who’s horrible. They threw him out of the Senate once before. He’s horrible, and they should have success,” Trump told reporters ahead of the rally.

“We have a tremendous crowd of people. I won Ohio three times. We got the highest vote in the history of the state, so I like it very much. I love the people of Ohio, and we’re going to spend a little time.”

Trump’s stop in Ohio was his fourth rally in just three days after hitting Texas and Oklahoma on Thursday and Alabama on Friday.

Trump is expected to hold five to seven rallies a week during an October blitz.

Senator John Kennedy has confirmed he is considering a run for president in 2028.

During an appearance on NBC News’ Meet the Press, moderator Kristen Welker asked the Louisiana Republican directly whether he was thinking about running for the White House.

“Yeah,” Kennedy replied.

“My plans right now are to run for re-election, but as I’ve said before, if I don’t think I can be effective in the Senate anymore, I would consider it,” he said.

The 74-year-old up, who is also up for Senate re-election in 2028, said his decision could depend on the quality of the Republican field.

“On my side of the aisle, if a bunch of goobers run, and I think they’re goobers and one of the goobers might win, and I think I could do a better job, I would consider running,” Kennedy said.

“But right now, I’m running for re-election.”

— Meet the Press (@MeetThePress) October 4, 2026

Kennedy declined to discuss how he would stack up against Vice President JD Vance, who remains the leading contender for the Republican nomination.

“I’m not going to talk about another potential candidate,” he said. “I’m just not there yet.”

Kennedy added that he believes “it’ll be good for both parties to have a full field.”

The Republican field remains wide open, although President Donald Trump has previously identified Vance and Secretary of State Marco Rubio as potential successors.

Rubio said in September that he has “no plans at this time” to seek the presidency.

Meanwhile, Texas Sen. Ted Cruz has repeatedly suggested he plans another run after his unsuccessful campaign in 2016.

The Saudi-backed, internationally recognized government of Yemen announced Sunday it was launching a major military campaign to recapture all parts of the country controlled by the Houthis, a militant group and ally of Iran. The Houthis control vast territory in Yemen including the capital Sanaa.

As Yemen’s Presidential Leadership Council made the announcement, the Houthis said they had launched successful missile strikes against Saudi Arabia including at energy facilities. Fighting between Saudi Arabia and the Houthis broke out this July, ending a yearslong ceasefire, after an attack by Riyadh on the international airport in Sanaa.

The UK’s Maritime Trade Operations agency on Sunday reported another oil tanker struck in the Strait of Hormuz, the third such attack in two days.

As talks between Washington and Tehran appeared stalled, Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said Sunday there was no military solution to the conflict. “If our enemies again choose the path of military confrontation, our response will be stronger than before, and we will defend ourselves with even more force,” Araghchi said.

The price of Brent crude oil—a key international benchmark—remains elevated, having closed Friday at $102.25. The average price of regular gasoline in America was $4.37 per gallon on Sunday.

Former Special Counsel Jack Smith turned up at a left-wing political music festival Saturday wearing a “No Kings” shirt.

Smith attended the “Power to the People” festival in Columbia, Maryland, which featured performances from Bruce Springsteen, Foo Fighters and other anti-Trump activists.

Smith was appointed special counsel by the Biden Justice Department in 2022 and subsequently brought two federal criminal cases against Trump around the January 6th protests with a view to derailing his presidential campaign.

Both cases were ultimately abandoned after Trump defeated Kamala Harris.

Smith’s festival appearance came just days after he perjured himself while testifying before the Senate Judiciary Committee about his investigations into Trump.

Today Jack Smith has already admitted to receiving the content of calls and messages.

Republican lawmakers have been scrutinizing the scope and conduct of those investigations.

This includes the collection of financial information connected to thousands of Americans who made Republican political donations.

Smith has defended his work and insisted that his prosecutions of Trump were not politically motivated.

The “Power to the People” festival meanwhile featured a heavy dose of left-wing politics alongside the music.

Performers and speakers attacked the Trump administration and ICE, while activists chanted “Free Palestine.”

Two people detained outside a Chicago-area ICE facility last year are suing podcaster Benny Johnson, claiming he defamed them by calling them left-wing terrorists who attacked federal officers during a ride-along with Homeland Security officials.

Maureen Foody, a contract court reporter, and Kyle Frankovich, a data scientist at Harvard, filed the case Friday in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Illinois.

The suit names Johnson and Benny Media LLC and accuses him of “knowingly making false statements.”

The plaintiffs say they were at a protest outside the Broadview ICE Processing Center in Broadview, Illinois, opposing the Trump administration’s Operation Midway Blitz.

They claim that they were in a designated free-speech zone, were not violent, and did not attack anyone.

ICE detained them that day.

Johnson was on scene with then-Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem and then-Border Patrol commander Gregory Bovino.

According to the complaint, Johnson filmed them lined up on the street with their hands bound and described the scene.

He referred to the protesters as “left-wing terrorists arrested for attacking police officers and ICE officers.”

In one clip, the complaint says he stated, “These individuals assaulted ICE officers as they were trying to clear out the area behind us over here.”

Another post from that day read, “I saw dozens of Democrat domestic terrorists arrested today for VIOLENT ASSAULT on federal law enforcement. Every activist here attacked ICE agents in broad daylight just for enforcing American law.”

The complaint says he also called them criminals and domestic terrorists and claimed he had seen them act violently.

The suit describes the videos as “political combat dressed up as news.”

Johnson’s post from the ride-along said he rode with Noem and ICE “on intense raids across left-wing violence-ridden Chicago,” from “tunnels under Trump Tower to the most targeted ICE facility,” and that they “faced violent Antifa, chaos, and criminals on the run.”

Johnson has not deleted the footage, which can be viewed here:

President Trump nuked Fox News on Sunday morning for not talking about his campaign rallies over the last week on Fox & Friends, saying that his supporters should stop watching the network. 

“Fox spends more time talking to Communists, Socialists, and Dumocrats, often without rebuttal, and MAGA is not, to put it mildly, happy,” Trump said, slamming the network for giving airtime to the Democrats while not talking about his rallies in Ohio on Saturday and Alabama, Texas, and Oklahoma on Thursday and Friday.

“We don’t like stupid Jessica Tarlov, and all of the others, that are forced down MAGA’S throats.”

“Who makes these decisions at FoxNews? Probably the same loser that fired the great Maria Bartiromo because she complained about not being allowed to cover ‘TRUMP,’” he added, suggesting that Fox News will soon be as irrelevant as CNN and MS Now.

Sen. Tim Scott says Republicans will “without question” retain control of the U.S. Senate in November and could even expand their majority.

The South Carolina senator said this was because Democrats are slate of far-left candidates who lack broader support.

Scott, who chairs the National Republican Senatorial Committee, laid out an aggressive final-month strategy Wednesday as Republicans battle across an extraordinary ten competitive states.

“We will hold the Senate majority without question,” Scott declared.

Republicans currently control the chamber 53-47, forcing Democrats to defend all their vulnerable seats while simultaneously flipping four Republican-held seats to win outright control.

Scott said the GOP enters the final stretch armed with more than $400 million across the NRSC, Senate Leadership Fund and MAGA Inc.

— The Calvin Coolidge Project (@TheCalvinCooli1) October 1, 2026

President Donald Trump, Vice President JD Vance and Republican Senate leaders are also preparing to descend on battleground states as the party looks to mobilize voters.

Scott said that weaker Democratic candidates include Abdul El-Sayed in Michigan and James Talarico in Texas.

He branded El-Sayed “perhaps the most radical, dangerous, and weird Democrat candidate in the field,” pointing to his positions on ICE and policing.

Scott also said that Texas would ultimately remain “ruby red” amid a close race between Talarico Attorney General Ken Paxton.

NRSC Chair Tim Scott just did a call with reporters. He said that “Republicans will hold the Senate majority without any question” and said it’s “not outside the realm of reason” for them to pick up seats (He says NH, Mich., Minn., and Ga. are all still pick-up opportunities)…

— Burgess Everett (@burgessev) September 30, 2026

Republicans are also eyeing several pick-up opportunities.

Former Rep. Mike Rogers is battling El-Sayed for Michigan’s open Senate seat, while Mike Collins is attempting to topple Democratic Sen. Jon Ossoff in Georgia.

Perhaps the biggest surprise is Minnesota, where former sportscaster Michele Tafoya has turned a traditionally difficult state for Republicans into a competitive contest against Democrat Peggy Flanagan.

“She may be the best recruit in Minnesota in half a century,” Scott said.

Minnesota Senate Republican Candidate Michele Tafoya Surging Against Walz-Tied Peggy Flanagan

The GOP is simultaneously fighting to protect seats in Maine, Iowa, Alaska, Ohio and other states as Democrats attempt to break the GOP majority.

Scott acknowledged the races remain extraordinarily close.

But with hundreds of millions of dollars available, Trump hitting the campaign trail and Democrats forced to defend seats of their own, Scott believes Republicans can get over the line.

“Cash is king,” he said. “We have the firepower necessary to really share our message.”
