By the way, Hugoli played not bad. Howie. Howie, say hi. Howie, say hi to him. How you doing, Don? I have seen hockey goalies have slightly worse games. Unbelievable. And you are all unbelievable. And a team is pretty good.

I'm not trying to impress you. I'm just trying to impress upon you. I'm like you. I'm no better than you. You know, I'm a 960sat guy. Literally a 960sat guy. I cannot. You've never seen me read a speech because I cannot read a speech.

Rapper Nicki Minaj responded on X saying his way of bonding with black people is to tell them how stupid he is and that he can't read. Fox News host Sean Hannity posted the clip of Newsom on X and Newsom hit back, referencing a recent video posted to President Trump's account that included a short clip featuring the Obamas as apes, which the president says he did not see. Newsom added, quote, but you're going to call me racist for talking about my lifelong struggle with dyslexia. Senator Ted Cruz also replied on X, saying simply, the soft bigotry of low expectations.

Two Detroit police officers have been suspended without pay for cooperating with federal immigration officers. Daily Wire reporters actual reports the officers contacted Border Patrol on two separate occasions during traffic stops leading to the arrests of illegal migrants. Citing a violation of department policy, Detroit Police Chief Todd Bettison sought to have the officers fired, but the Board of Commissioners opted to suspend the officers without pay for 30 days. While Detroit has not officially declared itself a sanctuary city, it effectively acts as one by prohibiting police from cooperating with federal immigration agents. ICE responded to the situation from their official X account and offered each of the suspended police officers a job. One of the suspended officers, sergeant Denise Wallet, has sued the city of Detroit.

The recruitment push immediately drew attention since participants must provide two forms of identification to become a snow shoveler under federal labor laws.

Federal law requires that employers get authorization and documentation to pay people for their work. We are not allowed to just cut checks to individuals for their work and

these are the policies that we've had in place.

Daily Wire Reporter (10:05)

But I understand that for many it's the first time that they've ever heard about it.

The irony hasn't gone unnoticed. Americans across the country are wondering why you need to present identification Dishevel snow, but not to vote. The Democratic Socialist of America's New York chapter, of which Bom Donnie is a member and which enthusiastically endorsed the mayor, has strongly advocated against voter ID requirements in elections.

And a curious development in the UFO saga has conspiracy theorists and laymen both scratching their heads. Daily Wire reporter Lyndon Blake has the story.

Georgia Howe (10:38)

Just days after President Trump demanded the release of classified UFO related intelligence, a massive online public catalog of extraterrestrial related documents has been wiped clean. The archive, known as the Black Vault, contained more than 3.8 million documents related to UFOs, CIA projects and other major conspiracies. For over three decades, researcher and UFOlogist John Greenwald Jr. Maintained the archive as a resource for those interested in declassified information. Following the incident, Greenwald posted on X that he did not wipe the servers and that access had been changed without his knowledge. The timing of the alleged sabotage has led to speculation about the president's proposed release and whether anyone wishes to prevent it. Those are your Drive Home updates this evening.
