The United States Navy had to rescue a crew member on a cargo ship that came under attack by Iranian-backed terrorists on Thursday in the Gulf of Aden. The Houthis hit the M/V Verbena — a Palauan-flagged, Ukrainian-owned, Polish-operated bulk cargo carrier — with two anti-ship cruise missiles (ASCM), causing damage and fires aboard the ship. “The crew continues to fight the fire. One civilian mariner was severely injured during the attack,” U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) said in a statement. “Aircraft from USS Philippine Sea (CG 58) medically evacuated the injured mariner to a partner force ship nearby for medical attention.” The Houthis have been emboldened by President Joe Biden’s refusal to hold them accountable for their terrorist attacks by launching the type of strikes needed to deter further aggression. “This continued reckless behavior by the Iranian-backed Houthis threatens regional stability and endangers the lives of mariners across the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden,” the statement said. “The Houthis claim to be acting on behalf of Palestinians in Gaza and yet they are targeting and threatening the lives of third country nationals who have nothing to do with the conflict in Gaza.” “The ongoing threat to the ability to safely transit the region caused by the Houthis makes it harder to deliver critical assistance to the people of Yemen as well as to Gaza,” the statement concluded. “U.S. CENTCOM will continue to act with partners to hold the Houthis accountable and degrade their military capabilities.” CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILYWIRE+ APP Houthis Strike M/V Verbena in Gulf of Aden, USS Philippine Sea Medically Evacuates Injured Mariner Today the Iranian-backed Houthis launched two anti-ship cruise missiles (ASCM) into the Gulf of Aden.

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis (R) blasted The New York Times this week after he was again proven correct over remarks he made late last year about terrorists entering the U.S. through the southern border. Personnel from Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) arrested eight ISIS terrorist suspects over the weekend in New York City, Los Angeles, and Philadelphia after they illegally entered the U.S. The New York Post reported that the investigation that led to their arrest “featured a wiretap which revealed one of the now-arrested individuals was talking about bombs.” During one of the Republican presidential primary debates last fall, DeSantis warned about the threat that Biden’s open border policies present to national security. “If you look at the threats that we face, terrorists have come in through our southern border,” DeSantis said. Left-wing New York Times blogger Eileen Sullivan claimed in a fact-check of DeSantis’ statement: “This is false.” “Since 1975, no one has been killed or injured in a terrorist attack in the United States that involved someone who came across the border illegally,” she wrote in her fact-check of something that the governor didn’t even say. DeSantis responded to the news story and the fact-check during a Fox News segment this week. “I said this last fall that — and it wasn’t even just me spitballing, Biden’s own DHS has acknowledged there were hundreds of people on the terror watch list,” he said. “You can’t have 10 million people come and not have potential terrorists come across the border, especially when we have people from the Middle East.” CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILYWIRE+ APP “So now we know without a shadow of a doubt that we have ISIS folks who have been identified and apprehended,” he continued. “The New York Times was wrong. The New York Times was putting forth a narrative, they were running interference for Joe Biden. What I said was correct at the time, and it remains correct today, but I am not gonna hold my breath asking for an apology. I think a lot of these corporate media outlets, it’s drive-by journalism. They say what they want, and then they just forget about when it’s obvious they were wrong.” WATCH: “The New York Times was wrong… they were running interference for Joe Biden.”@GovRonDeSantis responds to @seanhannity’s question about the NYTs “fact checking” him on terrorists crossing our southern border.

Hezbollah, an Iranian-backed Islamic terrorist group based in southern Lebanon, has fired well over 300 rockets into northern Israel over the last couple of days. The dramatic escalation came after Israel took out one of the terrorist group’s top leaders earlier this week, senior commander Talib Abdullah, aka Hajj Abu Talib. Hezbollah, which is one of the largest terror groups in the world and is the most heavily-armed, fired approximately 215 rockets into Israel on Wednesday and several more missiles and drones, The Times of Israel reported. The attacks continued into Thursday when it fired another 150 rockets and 30 drones into Israel. The attacks, which forced hundreds of thousands of Israelis to spend the day in bomb shelters, have caused countless fires in northern Israel that led to poor air quality conditions.

The rockets that Hamas has are also much more advanced than the ones that Hamas had. CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILYWIRE+ APP The group, which has an estimated 20,000 terrorist fighters, is much better equipped and trained than other terror groups and resembles more of a paramilitary force. Hezbollah’s primary goal is the elimination of Israel and the targeting of the United States all over the world as it has operations in Africa, the Americas, and Asia. The group is a major player in international drug trafficking, firearms trafficking, and money laundering.

Former President Donald Trump met with Virginia Governor Glenn Youngkin for the first time on Thursday and walked away from the meeting suggesting that the governor is now on his list of candidates he is considering to be his vice presidential running mate. The two discussed what it would take to flip the state red for the 2024 presidential election after it has voted for the Democrat candidate the last several cycles. The meeting comes as new polling has shown that Trump and President Joe Biden are tied in the state at 48% each, which comes after Biden beat Trump in the state by 10 points in 2020. A Fox News reporter floated the idea of Youngkin being Trump’s VP when she interviewed the former president. Rupert Murdoch, who owns Fox News, lobbied Youngkin to run for the Republican Party nomination during this last cycle. “He’s great,” Trump said after the meeting. “And I think I could consider that. Yes. I haven’t, I haven’t been asked that question, but he would be on that list. He’s very good. We had a great meeting about Virginia.” TRUMP tells me he likes GOV YOUNGKIN for VP after his meeting: HASNIE: “Do you like him for VP?” TRUMP: “He’s great. And I think I could consider that. Yes. I haven’t, I haven’t been asked that question, but he would be on that list. He’s very good. We had a great meeting about… — Aishah Hasnie (@aishahhasnie) June 13, 2024 It’s not clear if Trump is seriously considering Youngkin as a VP candidate as there have been no prior reports about his campaign reaching out to the governor for information. CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILYWIRE+ APP The campaign has reached out to several candidates for paperwork over the possibility that Trump could pick them, including Sen. Tom Cotton (R-AR), Sen. Tim Scott (R-SC), North Dakota Governor Doug Burgum, Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL), former Cabinet member Ben Carson, and others.

Former Donald Trump prosecutor Nathan Wade got up and left a live interview with CNN this week when he was asked about when his relationship began with Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis. Wade resigned from his position in the Georgia election interference case against former President Donald Trump back in March after it was revealed that he and Willis were engaged in a relationship. His resignation came after Judge Scott McAfee ruled that either Wade or Willis had to exit the case for the prosecution to continue. Willis faced possible disqualification from her case against Trump over allegations that she had misused taxpayer dollars and showed favoritism to Wade. When asked by CNN’s Kaitlan Collins what his relationship is currently like with Willis, Wade responded: “Just as outlined earlier, we are great friends. We speak regularly. The conversation has changed, though. Whereas before, we were — our conversations were about this case, you can — I’m sure you can imagine and appreciate the amount of time that it takes that you have to pour into a case trying — a case of this magnitude, trying to prosecute those defendants. But our conversations have shifted to, ‘How are you? How are you handling the threats that are coming your way? Are you being safe?’ And democracy will — the case will live on kind of thing.” Collins then asked him to clarify when his “romantic relationship” started with Willis. “Yes, so we get into — there’s been this effort to say that, OK, these exact dates are at issue and these exact dates are — I’m getting — I’m getting signaled here,” he said. Wade’s team came over and took the microphone off of him and huddled him in the corner of the room and spoke to him for some time before he came back and finished the interview. CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILYWIRE+ APP “So, I believe that the public has through — through the testimony and other interviews, the public has a clear snapshot that this is clearly just a distraction,” he later answered. “It is not a relevant issue in this case. And I think that we should be focusing on more of the facts and the indictment of the case.” WATCH:

Pennsylvania Democrat Governor Josh Shapiro mocked Republicans this week who support former President Donald Trump, saying that they are “profoundly and pathetically weak people.” Shapiro’s remarks came after Trump met with Republicans in Washington, D.C., on Thursday to unify the party ahead of the 2024 presidential election. “When Donald Trump sued us to try to first stop people from voting, then [have] their votes count, he and his allies sued us 42 times,” he said. “We had a free and fair, safe and secure election. Then look at the ballot box, while Donald Trump squeaked out a victory in 2016 in Pennsylvania by just over 40,000 votes, in every subsequent election, either Donald Trump or his hand-picked candidate lost. They lost for governor, they lost for United States Senate, hell, they even lost for school board in some cases. This is a guy who has lost every step of the way, yet these people keep following him.” He continued by addressing the meeting that Trump had with lawmakers earlier in the day: “I had to laugh today when some of those senators were, like, standing up there applauding him — the same people that were saying after January 6th that he didn’t have a place there, that he had stoked violence against them.” “Now they’re lining up and just showing themselves to be profoundly and pathetically weak people who don’t swear allegiance to a flag, but to Donald Trump,” he claimed, later adding: “They are people who have lost really just the sort of core vision of, you know, Reagan’s Republican Party, the Republican Party that you worked for in a really noble and honorable way.” CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILYWIRE+ APP “That’s all out the window,” he claimed. “Now, they just look straight to that one man. A man who has delivered them loss after loss after loss here in Pennsylvania and across the country. Why they continue to follow him in many ways is a reflection on just the weak people that they are more than anything else.” WATCH: PA GOV SHAPIRO: Republicans supporting Donald Trump are “profoundly and pathetically weak.” “These people don’t swear allegiance to a flag, but rather just to Donald Trump.” They’re rolling this guy out more and more, and he’s been tasked with the “Democrats love America”… pic.twitter.com/LcyHytCqCf — Western Lensman (@WesternLensman) June 13, 2024
