Rep. Mike Lawler (R-N.Y.) shut down CNN anchor Jake Tapper on Wednesday for accusing Republicans of "walking away" from a bill that supposedly will address the border crisis. A bipartisan group of senators have spent weeks ironing out the details of legislation that a majority of Republicans say will not make any meaningful difference to alleviate the border crisis. One of the more controversial proposals of the bill would still allow tens of thousands of migrants into the U.S. each month‚ placing any migrant who enters legally with legitimate asylum claims on a pathway to citizenship‚ according to NBC News. The bill‚ moreover‚ would mandate a border "shutdown" if Border Patrol "encounters" an average of 5‚000 migrants per day over a seven-day average. One of the obvious problems with the shutdown trigger is that it may incentivize migrants not to be encountered at all‚ thus becoming "gotaways." Meanwhile‚ President Joe Biden says he will "shut down" the border only if Congress passes the bill. So Lawler did not take kindly to Tapper's accusation on Wednesday that House Republicans are "walking away from this compromise." "First of all‚ Jake‚ nobody's actually seen the final details. And I think that it is necessary for everyone to actually see the details before making a definitive statement on it‚" Lawler told Tapper. After Lawler explained why the border needs to be secured‚ Tapper asked Lawler if he sees the "disconnect" between a yet-to-be-written bill and House Republican opposition to it. Lawler's response ultimately silenced Tapper. "With all due respect‚ you haven't seen the bill. And interestingly‚ over the last few weeks‚ the media has been trying to pressure everyone to agree to a deal that hasn't actually been produced. Why don't we see what the final bill is? And then let's see if they pass it‚ and then we negotiate‚" Lawler told Tapper. "President Biden and the Biden administration actually have authority right now to start to enforce our laws‚ and they're choosing not to. And that is a big part of the problem here‚" he added. Democrats and the media are claiming that Republicans increasingly oppose the Senate bill because former President Donald Trump doesn't want Biden to receive credit for alleviating the border crisis. But the truth is that critics of the bill simply think it will do little — if anything — to solve the crisis. Additionally‚ the bill doesn't provide any accountability for Biden's policies and the president's apparent refusal to use existing authorities to stymie the crisis. Like Blaze News?

NFL quarterback C.J. Stroud has responded to questions surrounding NBC Sports editing his faith-based remarks following a playoff game victory. The sports network removed Stroud's comment praising God after a win against the Cleveland Browns and posted an edited version of the interview to its social media channels."First and foremost‚ I just want to give all glory and praise to my Lord and Savior‚ Jesus Christ‚" Stroud said in the interview. That sentence was later cut in subsequent posts to focus on remarks about fan support and the city of Houston‚ Texas.Following his team's elimination from the playoffs‚ Stroud spoke to Fox News to address the controversy surrounding the edit."I just really wanted to show love and show people what I stand for. I pray for everybody. I don't really have any feeling towards it‚ I just pray for everyone‚" the quarterback said.Stroud generally took the high road when answering questions and declined to point any fingers or address the issue head-on. The 22-year-old instead opted to signal to a higher purpose that was bigger than football."I feel like of course football is amazing‚ but one day this sport will be done‚ this is our passion‚ and our purpose is bigger than just football‚" he continued. "It's cool to see people use their platform to show their purpose and the Lord. I think we have a really good community of a lot of believers in the league‚ really around the sports world."Watch the latest video at foxnews.com"The more we can do with our platform‚ the better we can make this world‚ and hopefully ... help people if they want the help to find Christ and really understand that God loves you no matter what‚" Stroud added.Stroud is in the running for Offensive Rookie of the Year in the NFL and was recently named an All-Star and will play in the Pro Bowl.The young star also received awards for both the city of Houston's Athlete of the Year and Newcomer of the Year at the Houston Sports Awards.He became the fifth rookie quarterback in NFL history to throw for over 4‚000 yards and was also the youngest quarterback to win a playoff game. His playoff victory marked the first time a rookie had won in the postseason since 2009.Like Blaze News?

Somewhere‚ in the distant‚ indefinable future of videogames‚ there is a good multiplayer version of Resident Evil. RE Outbreak had the right idea - it remains the closest we’ve come. Resident Evil 5 and RE6 might also broadly count as ‘multiplayer‚’ insofar as they allow online co-op; you could say the same for Resident Evil Revelations 2. But that’s stretching the definition a bit far. With RE4 Remake done and dusted‚ and rumors swirling about either a full Resident Evil 9 or a remake of Code Veronica‚ maybe‚ just maybe‚ Capcom will take another lunge at the multiplayer dream. Until then‚ we can only mourn the previous attempt‚ Resident Evil Reverse‚ which now officially has fewer players on Steam than a digital version of The Bible - and even The Bible only has 19 players.
