Schumer: I Called for New Elections ‘Out of a Real Love for Israel’
Reporter 1: “McConnell said today on the floor that Democrats don’t have anti-Bibi problem, they have an anti-Israel problem. What do you say to him equating basically what you said about Netanyahu on the floor to foreign election interference?”
Schumer: “Let me say this. I care deeply about Israel and its long-term future. When you make the issue partisan, you hurt the cause of helping Israel.”
Reporter 2: “Leader Schumer. Leader Schumer. Leader Schumer.” [crosstalk]
Schumer: “Yes. Yes.”
Reporter 3: “Is it true that Mr. Netanyahu asked to address the Democratic caucus and you declined it?”
Schumer: “As I said, when you make these issues partisan, you’ll hurt the cause of Israel. Yes?”
Reporter 4: “Specific accusation, that you are interfering in a foreign election, you should not show any distance between the United States and a close ally in a time of war. That’s what Republicans are saying.”
Schumer: “Well, let me say this, I gave this speech out of a real love for Israel. And if you read the speech, we called only for there to be an election after the hostilities had declined after Hamas was defeated. Yes?”

Tales of Hamas Inhumanity - The Zikim Military Training Base
On October 7th, 2023, Hamas terrorists attacked Israel on several fronts. One was by see, not far from the Zikim military training base. It was here where Hamas was stopped by IDF soldiers, defending not only their base but the homes beyond their walls.
It was here that Tony Katz heard stories of Hamas' inhumanity and their determination to kill the people of Israel, even if it means putting their own citizens at risk.

"You Either Favor Terrorists or You Don't!" Tony Katz Excoriates Schumer, Democratics on Israel
Radio Host Tony Katz spoke about the despicable comments of Democratic Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, who called for the replacement of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in Israel.
Schumer did not call for new elections for Hamas or Hezbollah.
But when Democratic strategist Tim Hogan said Biden was being diplomatic, and said, "...do you really want Donald Trump thrown into this situation," Tony had enough.

Eric Adams: ‘If You Commit a Felony…We Should Be Able to Turn You Over to ICE’
Adams: “Those small numbers that are committing crimes, we need to modify the sanctuary city law that if you commit a felony or violent act, we should be able to turn you over to ICE and have you deported. It is a right to live in this city, and you should be not committing crime in our city if doing so. Right now, we don’t have the authority to do so.”

Joy Reid: ‘Why Do We Need More Kids?’ to ‘Make Them Do the Work Migrants Are Doing Now?’
REID: “the United States has a population of north of 327 million people. Why do we need more kids? I mean, your party, Senator Tuberville, is the one screaming that 10 million immigrants, which I don’t even know that that number even makes any sense because it doesn’t, have streamed into the country since Joe Biden has been president, and you’re claiming that that’s too many people, that if more people come into the southern border, this is some sort of crisis, because we — we got too many people, and we’ve gotten no more space, and we can’t afford more people. But now you’re saying we need more kids? Can you explain who’s the we and what’s the purpose? You’re also a senator from the state of Alabama, God help the people there. Are you saying the state of Alabama needs more kids? Why does the state of Alabama need more kids? More kids for what? There was a time when the state of Alabama absolutely needed more kids because, you know, Alabama was a slave state and the mandate of the planter class in Alabama was for black women to produce more kids because those kids were property, and they could work more kids and make more money on their plantations. Are you saying the state of Alabama needs more kids because you think that those populations will include people who are maybe destitute and desperate enough if you kick out the immigrants, like a lot of you all want to do, and you could make them do the work that the migrants are doing now? Does that kind of sound slavery-ish? Is the state of Alabama the we? And is that the why? I mean, you also a white guy. Are you saying the we is white folks need more kids? Is this like a great replacement thing where you’re concerned that there’s not enough white people in the population versus the growth of the Latino population and the black population and the Asian American population, and so the we is white people need to make white women have more kids, and that’s the we, and that’s the why? Because it’s a little creepy. Little Handmaid’s Tale, don’t you think?”

Biden: ‘The Economy Is Growing ... Jobs, Income, Across the Board
Biden: “Earlier in my term, I announced the major plan to provide millions of working families with debt relief for their college student debt. Tens of millions of people in debt were literally about to be cancelled, their debts, but my MAGA Republican friends in the Congress, elected officials and special interests stepped in and sued us. And the Supreme Court blocked it. They blocked it. But that didn’t stop me. I announced we were going to pursue alternative paths for student debt relief for as many borrowers as possible. And that’s the effort that’s been underway the last two years.
The economy is growing, it’s growing. Jobs, income, across the board. We have the most advanced economy of any major nation in the world. We have a lot more to do, but with the help of all of you college graduates who have gotten paid off your student loans now, I’m confident we’re going to get it all done. Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you. Appreciate it."

Kevin O’Leary to Coates on Trump’s Fraud Trial: ‘Excuse Me, What Fraud?’
COATES: “Because there are probably a lot who are saying to themselves, ‘I‘ve never falsified my business records. I know what a square foot looks like. I know what I can ask for and what I have the money to support.’ So I wonder to what extent that really is true. But on the second point, wouldn‘t there be many companies who would not want to do business or loan money to people like yourself for investors if they know that they can get away with fraud and there‘s no recourse to protect them?”
O’LEARY: “Excuse me, what fraud? This is not about Trump anymore. When you get a developer — when you get a developer that builds a building and he says it‘s worth $400 million and he wants to borrow $200 million from a bank, which happens every day everywhere on earth, including every American city, every developers and entrepreneur, they shine the light on their building and they say it‘s worth 400. The bank does its own due diligence, as was done in this case, because they‘re very good at it, at the banks are very good, and they say, ‘No, it‘s worth 300. We’re only going to loan you 150 million. That haggling has gone on for decades. That‘s how it works. And then in this case, even, the bank that was supposedly defrauded testified and said, ‘We didn‘t lose anything. We want to do business with this guy again. We‘d like to.’ But the judge said, ‘No, no, no, no, no, no. Let‘s penalize this developer for 355 million.’ And if we‘re going to do that, let‘s penalize all the developers all across America. They‘ve all done the same thing. All of them should go to jail and we should stop building buildings. That‘s what the message is from New York. Even the governor herself is concerned about what this looks like to investors all around the world. It‘s not just U.S. domestic. All around the world people are talking about what happened here. You really think people want to invest money in New York after this?

Manchin: Biden Can’t Unite the Country, He Has Gone ‘Too Far to the Left’
MANCHIN: "I came to the conclusion that after I saw what happened, what, 10 days ago or so, when the vote for — on the Senate, for security of the border, a secured vote in the border, which is what our Republican colleagues desired to happen, they pressed that, and they said, ‘We’re not going to vote on any aid until we’ve secured our border.’ I agreed with them. I think President Biden has been wrong on the border. He — it’s his — it’s his responsibility, no matter what his reasoning was, to maybe help people around the world who’ve been displaced by the pandemic, but he’s come to the table now. He understands the gravity of what we’re dealing with, and the danger. And he’s willing to accept any help — negotiate a very good bill that secures the border.
MANCHIN: "I’ve had this conversation with him, and with his people, that he’s gone too far to the left. They’ve pushed him and pulled him and whatever, but that’s not where America is. That’s not where our country is. So, I’m hoping the Joe Biden that we saw in 2020 will be the Joe Biden we see in 2024, if that can be done. If not, it’s going to be a long road for everybody.”
COLLINS: “Are you going to endorse President Biden?”
Manchin: “I’m not endorsing anybody right now. We’re going to see what all happens. We still got plenty of time here. I’m going to do everything I can to help move them back to the middle and show them where the strength of this country lies, where the voting bloc of the country lies. And the extremes are going to be there no matter what, and I respect that, and I will do everything I can to make sure they have the ability to voice their opinion. But the minority — the minority does not rule the day. The minority — “
COLLINS: “What does it say that you’re not endorsing President Biden? What should people read into that?”
Manchin: “No, no. I’m just — I’m trying to do everything I can to make sure that we have a pathway forward, where the center of this country is going to be represented, and that’s the center-left and center-right. That’s where the decisions, that’s where people live their lives. That’s the type of government they want. They don’t want the extremes. And what we’re seeing is extremes. Donald Trump is an extremist. And with that, there’s people that are going in that direction. I still believe there’s enough good Republicans and Democrats that want this centrist type of approach to governing.”

Rashida Tlaib Urging Voters to Withhold Support for Biden
Tlaib: “It is also important to create a voting bloc, something that is a bullhorn to say, ‘Enough is enough. We don’t want a country that supports wars and bombs and destruction. If you want us to be louder, then come here and vote ‘uncommitted.’”
[Clip ends]
COLLINS: “What do you make of that?”
Simmons: “You know, it’s a mixed bag. I was on the phone with a couple of folks from Detroit in the last day or two, which is where I‘m from. One person, who I was surprised that he thought about voting uncommitted because he really was concerned about what‘s happening in Gaza, but then I also talked to someone, and I found out, because I’m going to say this here for the first time, I think that Congresswoman Tlaib is going to get a primary challenge. I‘m hearing very strong rumblings and it may be from a gentleman from Detroit — I can’t say the name yet, but I do think she’d make it a primary challenge almost because of how stridently she‘s been doing this. So, people are all over the map, it’s dividing Democratic communities. And I think the president is going to have to go in hard and really knit people back together.”
COLLINS: “Well, that‘s interesting."

Pro-Trump Truckers Boycott NYC After Civil Fraud Verdict
Chicago Ray: “Hey, folks, it’s your old pal, Chicago Ray. I’ve been out on the radio talking to drivers for about the last hour, hour and 15 minutes, and I’ve talked to over at least 10 drivers going the other way — I’m heading down from south Wisconsin — and they’re gonna start refusing loads in New York City starting on Monday, all right? I got about three drivers that I drive with, they already fight with the boss, told him they ain’t going to New York City. So, I don’t know how far across the country this is or how many truckers are gonna start denying loads going to New York City, but I’ll tell you what"

FLASHBACK: Biden in 2021 Warns of Consequences if Alexei Navalny Dies
Biden: “Every world leader here as a member of NATO that spoke today, and most of them mentioned it, thanked me for meeting with Putin now. Every single one that spoke. And I think there were probably about 10 or 12 that spoke to it, saying they were happy that I did that, that I was going to do that. And they thought it was thoroughly appropriate that I do, and I had discussions with them about — in the open about what they thought was important from their perspective and what they thought was not important. And so the interesting thing is, I know — and I’m not being critical of the press, I really mean this, give you my word. But generically you all thought, was Biden meeting him too soon? I haven’t found a world leader who doesn’t think it’s not soon — it’s just soon enough. Everyone that I’ve spoken to, privately and publicly. It doesn’t mean there aren’t some out there, but it’s not likely that a head of state is going to stand up in front of 29 other heads of state and say, boy, I’m glad you’re doing this, in effect. So there is a consensus. And they thanked me for being willing to talk with them about the meeting and what I was — what I intended to do. So I haven’t found any reluctance. There may be someone, but not in open today or in the meetings I had privately as well. And Navalny’s death would be another indication that Russia has little or no intention abiding by basic fundamental human rights. It would be a tragedy. It would do nothing but hurt his relationships with the rest of the world, in my view, and with me.”
LEMIRE: “Mr. President, just a quick follow-up on the same theme of consequences. You said just now that you spoke to him a lot about human rights. Why did you say would happen if opposition leader Alexei Navalny dies?”
Biden: “I made it clear to him that I believe the consequences of that would be devastating for Russia. I’ll go back to the same point. What do you think happens when he is saying it is not about hurting Navalny, all the stuff he says to rationalize the treatment of Navalny, and then he dies in prison? I pointed out to him that it matters a great deal when a country, in fact — and they asked me why I thought it was important to continue to have problems with the president of Syria. I said because it’s violation of international norm, it’s called Chemical Weapons Treaty. Can’t be trusted. It is about trust. It is about their ability to influence other nations in a positive way.”

HIGHLIGHTS: The District Attorney Fani Willis Testimony
MERCHANT: “Isn’t it true that you met Mr. Wade October 2019 at a judges conference?”
ATTORNEY 2: “I’m going to object. We haven’t gotten to the point where Ms. Willis should be treated hostile in this — “
WILLIS: “And I very much want to be here, so I am not a hostile witness. I very much want to be here.”
UNKNOWN: “It’s not so much that you’re hostile, Ms. Willis. You’d be an adverse witness. Your interests are opposed to Ms. Merchant’s.”
WILLIS: “Ms. Merchant’s interests are contradic — contrary to democracy, Your Honor, not to mine.”
JUDGE: “All right.”
MERCHANT: “I just ask — “
JUDGE: “Keep things moving. Ms. Merchant, next question, please.”
WILLIS: Fulton County and the State of Georgia both pay me direct deposit.
MERCHANT: Okay. So the cash that you would pay him, you wouldn‘t get it out of the bank.
WILLIS: I have money in my house.
MERCHANT: You have money in the house, so it was just money that was there.
WILLIS: When you meet my father. He is until you as a woman, you should always have, which I don‘t have so let‘s don‘t tell him that, should have at least six months in cash at your house at all time that I don‘t know why it is old black man feels like that but he does. Growing up, my daddy had three safe so now my father bought me a lockbox and I always keep cash in the house. Now, I don‘t do it to the degree that my father would do it. So he you‘d probably be shamed with me. But I always have cash at the house that has been I don‘t know all my life. If you‘re a woman and you go on a date with a man, you better have $200 in your pocket. So that man acts up. You can go where you want to go. I keep cash at my house and I don‘t keep cash is good in my purse like I used to, I don't go on many dates, but when you go on a date should have caching your pocket.
MERCHANT: So where did that cash originally come from? If it hadn‘t came out of the bank?
WILLIS: Cash is fungible. Cash for years in my house. So for me to tell you the source of when it comes from when you go to publix and you buy something, get $50, you throw it in there when it‘s been my whole life, when I took out a large amount of money on my first campaign, I kept some of the cash of that like to tell you I just have cash in my house. I don‘t have as much today as I would normally have, but I‘m building backup now. You just put money and it‘s a very good practice. I would advise it to all women.
MERCHANT: So you can't identify when you came into this cash or where the cash came from?
WILLIS: I didn‘t say I couldn‘t identify it. Nobody gives me anything. I am sure that the source of the money is always the sweat and tears of me, which you asked me for, is when did the money go in there? What I am trying to tell you is so I got divorced in 2005 from my husband. You said "where did the money come from" So I need to tell you where the money came from so for many, many years, I have kept money in my house. That money in my worst days has probably only been 500 or thousand dollars at my best days, I probably had $15,000 in my house, cash in my house, at all times, there‘s going to be cash in my house or wherever I‘m laying my head.
MERCHANT: The money that you paid Mr Wade, the cash in October of 2022, you do not know where that money came from?
WILLIS: It came from my sweat and tears.
MERCHANT: Do you know which job it came from. Did it come from Fulton County or did it come from a private job?
WILLIS: I don‘t, what are you talking about? So it could have come from a private job because before I was da I was in private practice. So I earn money during that time period is probably in there.
>> Can move on. Okay. Thanks.
MERCHANT: “Same with Aruba, you don’t know where that cash came from either, right?”
WILLIS: “Ma’am, you’re mischaracterizing my testimony greatly. I‘m not going to allow you to mischaracterize my testimony. I know that I keep money in my house. The amounts of money I gave to Mr. Wade, it was never that serious. I don‘t think I‘ve ever handed him more than $2,500 in a reimbursement. So, we’re not talking about $20,000 in cash. I don‘t have $20,000 in cash right now. The most I ever gave him, I know I gave him $2,500 when we went to Belize, because we went to one hotel and then we went to a second hotel. That $2,500 I actually gave him while we were still in Belize. I know that the Aruba trip, the one that you described with his mom, I think I gave him about $2,000 for that trip for, like, total.”
MERCHANT: “His mom went to a Aruba with you?”
WILLIS: “The Aruba trup, so I consider that to be one trip. So, we got off of a cruise ship, and then we went to Aruba, which is why I cannot remember is that the time that we had to stay in Miami to wait for the flight for Aruba. So I consider that one trip, but we didn‘t, like, come back to Atlanta and leave. We went — we flew down to Miami, we got on a cruise ship. We spent a couple of days with his mama. We came back to Miami. When we came back to Miami, either that day or the next day, we flew to Aruba. We spent a few days in Aruba and we came back. That was really one trip that even though we went two places, it was one trip.”
WILLIS: He's never been to South Fulton. In 2019 I lived in South Fulton. He has never been to my residence in 2019. Ever. Not once.
MERCHANT: In 2019 he's never been to your residence, anyplace?
WILLIS: I lived in my home in South Fulton before I started getting the threats that were here, a house I paid for with my own sweat and tears, I'm no longer able to live there. But in 2019 I did, and in the 2 months of 2019 that I knew Mr. Wade, 3 months, the begininng of October, all of November, and all of December. Mr. Wade never came to my house in South Fulton. Let me help you out. I lived there in 2020. He never came to my house in 2020, let alone live with me, as you put awfully in these documents. In the first 3 months of 2021, Mr. Wade never came to South Fulton and it is certainly a lie that he lived with me.
MERCHANT: So you said 2019, 2020. Did Mr. Wade ever visit you at a place that you resided?
WILLIS: He has never been to my home in South Fulton. 2020 was before I knew that a phone call was going to be made, and I was going to have to abandon my home. As a result thereof, he never visited, lived at, came to, or has seen South Fulton.
MERCHANT: You qualified that with your home in South Fulton, I’m asking —
WILLIS: That’s where I lived in 2020!
MERCHANT: In 2020 did he ever visit you at a place that you resided?
WILLIS: Okay, I don’t understand, you’re gonna have to give me guidance. In 2020, I lived in South Fulton. That’s the only place I lived, in South Fulton. That’s before I had to abandon my home, Judge. And at my home in South Fulton —
[CROSSTALK]
MCAFEE: Ms. Willis, that’s, I’m gonna have to caution you. This is going to be my first time I have to caution you. You have to listen to the questions as asked, and if this happens again and again, I’m going to have no choice but to strike your testimony. So I need to break this down. Ms. Merchant’s question, I believe, is, asking whether you lived anywhere other than South Fulton.
WILLIS: I did not live anywhere but South Fulton, Georgia in 2020. Before I began the prosecution of this case, and it was plan to only live there.
MERCHANT: Did Mr. Wade ever visit you at the condo that you leased?
WILLIS: He visited that condo, yes.
MERCHANT: He did?
WILLIS: Yes.
MERCHANT: Did he ever spend the night at that condo?
WILLIS: No.
MERCHANT: Just visit?
WILLIS: Yes. But he did visit for sure.
MERCHANT: “Did you tell anyone at Fulton County Board of County Commissioners about your relationship with Mr. Wade?”
WILLIS: “No.”
MERCHANT: “Did you disclose your relationship to anybody at Fulton County?”
WILLIS: “No, I don’t think so.”
MERCHANT: “And as the chief law enforcement officer of Fulton County, I assume that you’re familiar with the county code and ordinances?”
JUDGE: “I’ve said we’re not going to cover that in this hearing, Ms. Merchant.”
MERCHANT: “I’m sorry, Judge?”
JUDGE: “We said we weren’t going to cover the county regulations.”
MERCHANT: “Okay, I won’t. May I ask you this, then? So, are you aware that you’re required to disclose any relationship with someone that you contract with in Fulton County?”
UNKNOWN: “I'm going to object [inaudible]”
JUDGE: “Will this be different because it’s potential for impeachment?”
MERCHANT: “Yes.”
WILLIS: “What did you ask me?”
JUDGE: “Ms. Merchant, you can re-ask the question.”
MERCHANT: “Okay. Are you aware that Fulton County requires you to disclose any relationship with someone that you’re doing business with?”
WILLIS: “I’m not aware. And I know often that things are confused with state constitutional officers and county, but I’m not aware.”
SADOW: “Who in the prosecution team prior to — I guess, the motion being filed by defendant Roman — who in the prosecution team knew of your personal relationship, and now I’m talking romantic, with Mr. Wade?”
WILLIS: “So, sir, I am extremely private.”
SADOW: “All I ask is who knew.”
WILLIS: “No, no, no.”
SADOW: “It’s now — if the answer is no one knew, that’s fine. I ask you who knew.”
JUDGE: “Answer and then explain, Ms. Willis.”
WILLIS: “I am very private. When I supervised Mr. [inaudible] and Mr. McAfee, they didn’t know who I was dating, but I can assure you I was dating somebody, so that I kept something private, that’s my private life, is not any mystery to anyone. It’s like a woman doesn’t have the right to keep her private life private, and I’m speaking on this because there have been all these intimations.”
JUDGE: “You haven’t answered the question, Ms. Willis.”
WILLIS: “I’m sorry, what was the question, Your Honor?”
JUDGE: “Is there anyone else who knew about it? And then you can explain.”
WILLIS: “I don’t know. I don’t think so. I certainly didn’t go out telling my business to the world.”
SADOW: “So, the best of your recollection, you didn’t inform anyone on the prosecution team that the individual that you had chosen to lead the prosecution team had a personal relationship with you? Is that correct?”
WILLIS: “That’s inaccurate. Your question is inaccurate. Because you stated that the person I chose, we had a personal relationship, so we had a friendship. We have to — we have all these distinguishing factors. Remember, when I chose him in November of ‘21, first of all, let’s get this straight. Mr. Wade was not actually my first choice. That’s no insult to him.”
SADOW: “Your honor —“
WILLIS: “No, no, because of the way you phrased the question, you said when I chose him, I didn’t inform people of a personal relationship. We have defined personal as romantic. It is an inaccurate way to state the question —“
SADOW: “Then I will certainly restate it so it is very accurate.”
WILLIS: “Okay. And please do not yell at me.”
SADOW: “You hired Mr. Wade the first time on November 1st of 2021. Correct?”
WILLIS: “November of 2021, yes, sir.”
SADOW: “Your testimony is — whether one accepts it or not — your testimony, that at the time you hired Mr. Wade, there had never been a romantic relationship with Mr. Wade before you hired him, correct?”
WILLIS: “Yes, my testimony is that we were very good friends, not — not talking about sex, so let’s just don’t —“
SADOW: “No, I’m talking about — I’m saying romantic relationship doesn’t necessarily have to be just sex. It can be dating, it can be holding hands. It can be any of those things that one might call romantic. I’m asking you whether or not, prior to November 1st of 2021, there was a romantic relationship with Mr. Wade. It’s very simple, it’s either yes or no.”
WILLIS: “I don’t consider my relationship with him to be romantic before that. I’m not a hand-holder. So no.”
SADOW: “That’s fine.”
GILLEN: “So, the point is that what you’re telling us is that you were in financial straits, but really, that your testimony today is you had a cash hoard of maybe up to $10,000 in cash where you laid your head at night so that you would dip out and there would be no record of it. Correct?”
WILLIS: “That’s not what I’m telling you, sir. That’s not at all what I’m telling you. What I’m telling you is that, throughout the course of my life, I have always kept cash in my house. That cash has ranged from times — my father would probably be ashamed of this because he would say it should be more, but that cash at times has ranged from $500 to maybe $9,000. He would be like, that is not what I told you to do. I have always had that amount of money. What I have told you is that when I travel, you do better negotiating when you travel if you have cash. You go get the cab, they say, oh, we are going to charge you $300 for the day. Well, I’ve got American cash. Will you take it for $150? And so, it’s my practice to take money when I travel. We’re not talking about a whole lot of money, we’re going to the Bahamas, $1,500 in cash is in my pocket, or at the most, $2,500. Belize was actually probably the most money I have ever taken, and it was taken because it was a big deal. My 50th birthday sucked. His 50th birthday — it sucked, it was terrible.”
GILLEN: “Your Honor, I’d like to get back to some questions here.”
WILLIS: “I’m trying to answer.”
ALLEN DERSHOWITZ: I think there is a plausible case for perjury here but I think there is an open and check case for disqualification based on the appearance of impropriety. Look, when you admit that you paid for all these trips on your credit cards, then the burden of proof shifts to the other side to demonstrate that there was payback in cash and the fact that there are no records and the payments all have records, but the repayments have no records, gives rise to a plausible interpretation that that’s not true. That there was financial benefit that accrued to the district attorney. Therefore, there is more than enough for the judge to say at least an appearance of impropriety, total disqualification of the office, start from scratch, put the case in a different district, let’s see if an independent prosecutor thinks there is enough here for a rico prosecution.

Chuck Schumer: Biden’s ‘Mental Acuity Is Great’ and 'Fine'
Schumer: “I talk to President Biden, you know, regularly. Or sometimes several times in a week, usually several times in a week. His mental acuity is great. It’s fine, it’s as good as it’s been over the years. I’ve been speaking to him for 30 years, since we worked on the Brady Bill and the assault weapons ban when I was a young congressman. And he’s — he’s fine. All this right-wing propaganda that his mental acuity has declined is wrong. He’s going to win the election because he has a great record, because more and more Americans are seeing that record.”

John Kirby: Israel Is Taking Actions to Protect Civilians ‘I’m Not Sure Our Own Military Would Take’
KIRBY: “As I said, we have seen them take actions — sometimes actions that — that even I’m not sure our own military would take, in terms of informing civilian populations ahead of operations where to go, where not to go. They have taken steps. Now, obviously, those steps, while noteworthy, haven’t been enough to reduce the civilian casualties, which is why the president spoke so forthrightly about it yesterday and why we’re going to continue to do everything we can to press the Israelis to be more careful.”

Trump Should Just Let Biden Lose. And there is Only One National Anthem.
President Biden is too old, and those defending him are unserious. You don't have to be a neurologist to know that Biden is not capable. Politicos touting his great mind are the grossest level of pandering; true believers that power is more important than nation.
So why is President Trump getting in the way of it all? Where is Nikki Haley's husband? What is he doing?
But his comments about Russia and NATO? It seems everyone is purposefully getting that wrong...even if it wasn't what he should say.
PLUS: There is only one national anthem in the United States, because we are one nation. And if you don't believe that, then you've identified yourself as the problem in the United States.
ALSO: I don't care at all about the Chiefs SuperBowl victory. Dynasty? Sure. Taylor Swift is a psy-op? Of course not...don't be weird.

Sec. Mayorkas Has No Regrets About Terminating Trump Remain in Mexico Policy
MAYORKAS: “It certainly is a crisis, and, well, we don’t bear responsibility for a broken system, and we’re doing a tremendous amount within that broken system. But, fundamentally, fundamentally, Congress is the only one who can fix that.
A few things about Remain in Mexico. First of all, it depends upon Mexico’s agreement. And Mexico has articulated publicly that it will not allow the re-implementation of Remain in Mexico, number one. Number two, it’s been challenged in the courts. And number three, remember something, that Remain in Mexico was implemented in January of 2019. In 2019, there was almost a 100% increase in the number of encounters at our southwest border over 2018.”
