President Donald Trump is renewing his call for New Mexico to change its name to "New America," arguing that the change would better reflect the state's identity as part of the United States. In a post on Truth Social Monday, Trump urged state officials to consider the change. "New Mexico should immediately change its name to New America. We are not Mexico, we are the United States of America!" Trump wrote. The president also claimed that renaming the state would have economic benefits, suggesting that "home values and incomes would rise" as a result. Trump did not provide evidence supporting that prediction or explain how a name change would affect property values or household incomes. Monday's remarks were not the first time Trump has proposed renaming New Mexico. The president previously raised the idea in September. The latest proposal follows other efforts by the Trump administration to change the names of prominent geographic locations. In August, Trump signed an executive order directing that Lake Ontario be renamed "Lake America," a move tied to ongoing trade tensions between the United States and Canada. The president also took similar action last year when he moved to rename the Gulf of Mexico the "Gulf of America." Those naming decisions have generated debate over presidential authority, geographic identity and the extent to which the federal government can change established place names. New Mexico became the 47th state in 1912, although the name had been used for the region for centuries before statehood. The state's name reflects its Spanish colonial history and predates the establishment of the modern nation of Mexico. Any formal effort to rename New Mexico would face significant legal and political hurdles. Unlike federal geographic designations, changing the name of a state would require a more extensive legal process. Trump has not announced a formal proposal or timeline for pursuing the change, and it remains unclear whether New Mexico officials intend to consider the suggestion.

Vice President JD Vance is declining to endorse Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu for reelection, taking a different approach from President Donald Trump, who publicly backed the Israeli leader over the weekend. During an interview with journalist Mark Halperin aboard Air Force Two, Vance was asked whether he supported Netanyahu's reelection bid. "I'm not anti-endorsing him. I'm not pro-endorsing him," Vance said. The vice president's comments come after Trump issued a strong endorsement of Netanyahu on Sunday in a Truth Social post addressed to the "Great People of Israel." Trump praised Netanyahu's leadership and argued that keeping him in office was important to American interests in the region. "If Israel has the wrong Leader, which would be anyone other than Bibi, America will have to do this work ourselves, and I am not inclined to do so," Trump wrote. The president's endorsement comes ahead of Israel's upcoming election and follows months of tensions between Washington and Jerusalem over regional security and diplomatic efforts. Trump and Netanyahu have maintained a close political relationship, particularly regarding Iran and Israel's national security. However, disagreements have emerged over Israeli military operations in Lebanon and Gaza, including actions that have complicated U.S.-led diplomatic initiatives. Despite those differences, Trump has continued to publicly support Netanyahu and his leadership. Vance, meanwhile, has stopped short of expressing either support or opposition to the Israeli prime minister's candidacy. His comments do not necessarily signal a disagreement with Trump over U.S. policy toward Israel, but they highlight a difference in how the two administration officials are approaching the upcoming election. Israeli voters elect members of the Knesset, the country's parliament, rather than directly choosing a prime minister. The next government will depend on which political parties can form a governing coalition. For now, Trump has made his preferred candidate clear, while Vance has chosen not to take a public position on Netanyahu's reelection bid.

Larry Elder discusses the widespread protests in France that began over inadequate supplies and deteriorated into violent riots, resulting in the destruction of historic buildings. The speaker emphasizes the importance of accurate information and the assumptions made by protestors regarding police brutality against black individuals, using the case of George Floyd as an example. Contrary to popular belief, data shows that police killed fewer unarmed black men in 2019 than commonly assumed, and more unarmed white individuals were killed by police that year. The speaker also highlights a study suggesting that police are more hesitant to use deadly force against black suspects than white ones. The video encourages viewers to seek out factual information rather than assumptions when forming opinions.

A student protest in France over issues such as overcrowded classrooms and high costs has escalated into widespread unrest. Initially sparked in September, the protests quickly gained momentum as various left-wing groups, including social democrats, communists, and the black bloc, joined forces. Their opposition is largely directed against the potential presidency of Marine Le Pen, a far-right nationalist candidate, who is favored to win the upcoming election in six months. The protests have since spiraled into riots and acts of vandalism, with no unified demands or leadership. This unrest coincides with the end of President Emmanuel Macron's term, who has been in power for nine and a half years.

She sheds light on how these demonstrations, often mislabeled as student protests, are being exploited by various ideological groups for broader objectives.

Further, the conversation touches on the financial backing behind these movements, with Nomani mentioning significant funding from U.S. nonprofits and European communist groups. She also discusses the role of diaspora communities in Europe and their involvement in the unrest, drawing parallels to similar coalitions forming in the United States.

Jim Hansen, president of World Strat Security Studies Group and a former special ops veteran, discusses the growing national security threat posed by leftist activists in France.

Hansen warns that without decisive action, these groups could establish a new caliphate in Europe, with potential consequences for the United States.
