Vice President JD Vance warned radio and podcast host Glenn Beck that Americans should be concerned about anti-free speech moves abroad, predicting significant “friction” between America and other nations. Vance told Beck that America and Europe often have great influence upon one another, making censorship efforts in Europe a threat to the United States. “The kind of social media censorship that we've seen in Western Europe, it will and in some ways, it already has made its way to the United States. That was the story of the Biden administration silencing people on social media,” he said on the Thursday edition of the Glenn Beck Program.  [Story Continues on MRC Free Speech America] 

An Ohio state legislator has reportedly drafted a bill that would make it illegal for colleges to host football games before 3:30 p.m., except for special circumstances.Republican state Rep. Tex Fischer is looking to ban the earlier kickoffs particularly because Ohio State is frequently booked on Fox's "Big Noon Saturday." 'I said it would be a crime for FOX to put Ohio State vs Texas at noon. Promises made, promises kept!'The bill, shared by Fischer through an account called the Rooster, explained that "no college football game" in Ohio would start before 3:30 p.m. unless one team is from a state university and both teams are ranked in the top 10 of the Associated Press poll.If a game does start earlier than the prescribed time without the stated provisions, a $10 million fine from Ohio's attorney general would be handed down to either the host team's football conference or the television network, "whichever party scheduled the earlier start time."RELATED: 'A lot of people say it's not happening!' A definitive list of men who have dominated women's sports Ohio Stadium prior to the Ohio State Spring Game, April 12, 2025 in Columbus, Ohio. Photo by Ben Jackson/Getty ImagesAccording to USA Today, the earlier games are generally an annoyance to traveling fans and regular attendees who are forced to get up earlier and have their tailgating time cut into.Blaze News asked Fischer if he thought the earlier start times cut into tax revenue surrounding merchandise or liquor sales and if the tailgating time was a hot-button issue for him. Fischer's office did not immediately reply to Blaze News' request for comment.The Buckeyes have played 35 games in the noon time slot since 2019, when Fox began broadcasting the Big Ten conference games. The conference typically has allowed Fox to schedule more high-profile games in the earlier time slot without having to compete with the popular 3:30 slot dominated by CBS and ESPN.Now that Ohio State is the defending national champion, the bill hopes to change the likelihood of more early games, especially considering their schedule included seven in the past season.Fischer boasted about the bill's text in his accompanying post: "A few weeks ago, I said it would be a crime for FOX to put Ohio State vs Texas at noon. Promises made, promises kept!"RELATED: 26 NCAA softball players baptized together before going head-to-head in Conference USA tournament — (@) Another caveat was carved out for rivalry games, which includes Ohio State vs. Michigan, which has a traditional start time of noon."Division (B) of this section does not apply if an earlier start time of a college football game between two teams is a college football tradition," the proposed legislation read."For this purpose, a 'college football tradition' is a start time of a game between the teams of two institutions whose football teams have competed against each other at least fifty times and the start time has been the same for at least ninety-five per cent of those games."Like Blaze News?

The U.S. Supreme Court granted a temporary motion on Friday to pause deportations under the Alien Enemies Act of 1798 based on the lack of due process given to migrants. The 7-2 ruling was issued unsigned, but Justices Samuel Alito and Clarence Thomas publicly dissented from the majority. Alito dissented on the basis that the court had 'no authority to issue any relief' so early in the litigation process. The lawsuit was filed by a group of Venezuelans from North Texas who were accused by the government of being gang members and thereby eligible for deportation without due process.The court rejected a motion from the Trump administration to allow them to continue the deportation proceedings, and ruled that the government had not given the migrants the due process to challenge the deportations. The ruling cited the case of Kilmar Abrego Garcia, where the administration said they had no power to return the man, despite admitting that his deportation was due to a clerical error. The Supreme Court said that “the detainees’ interests at stake are accordingly particularly weighty," given that the Trump administration had been “unable to provide for the return of an individual deported in error to a prison in El Salvador.”Alito dissented on the basis that the court had "no authority to issue any relief" so early in the litigation process. Lawyers for the American Civil Liberties Union argue that the detained migrants were not notified by the government in a language that they understand and were not notified of their rights, nor given enough time to exercise their rights. The Supreme Court had unanimously ruled in April that migrants needed to be allowed due process to challenge deportation proceedings. RELATED: Trump lashes out at Supreme Court for blocking deportations Photo by Win McNamee/Getty Images Defenders of the use of the 1798 law say that the scale of the millions of deportations needed to alleviate the immigration crisis is so great that due process cannot be granted to each migrant to be deported. Critics of the administration say due process is necessary to protect against mistaken deportations, as well as to allow suspects to challenge the designation and prove their innocence.

With iOS 18.5 having just been released, you might be wondering what you can do if you're experiencing any bugs. While it's possible that Apple might seed an iOS 18.5.1 update soon, the safest bet is to wait for iOS 18.6. However, this isn't a regular software update. After all, by the time iOS 18.6 gets a release date, Apple will already be preparing to roll out iOS 19. Here's everything you need to know about iOS 18.6, and when to expect a proper release date. Apple's iOS x.6 updates If you take into consideration the latest x.6 updates, here's when we expect iOS 18.6 to land: iOS 17.6: July 29, 2024 iOS 16.6: July 24, 2023 iOS 15.6: July 20, 2022 Usually, these software updates bring one or two new features or upgrades, but focus primarily on bug fixes and security patches. Last year, Apple seeded iOS 17.6 after the WWDC 2024 keynote. However, with iOS 16.6 and iOS 15.6, the company seeded them a few weeks after iOS 16.5/15.5 in May. That said, the first beta could arrive any time from next week to after the WWDC keynote on June 10. Why this update matters While most iPhone users are already eager for the first iOS 19 beta, iOS 18.6 will be especially important if Apple drops support for any of the current iPhone models with this new software update. So far, rumors suggest Apple might continue to offer iOS 19 on all iPhones that support iOS 18. However, we can't say the same about the iPad. With that in mind, this update ensures that these devices continue to receive the latest security patches and bug fixes, even if they won't support the big iOS 19 update expected later this fall. That said, if the company follows the trend, we could also see iOS 18.7 in the second half of the year. BGR will let you know once Apple seeds the first iOS 18.6 beta.
