the Federal Reserve just raised the target rate to 5.25-5.50%. This, while Americans are told that inflation has cooled to 3%, and while President Biden tells Americans that Bidenomics is working. Heck, the White House has fully embraced the term, "Bidenomics!" Economist Dr. Matt Will explains why rates are going up, if Bidenomics is working and how Wall Street's reactions don't translate to Midwest Mainstreet.

SCANNELL: “The hearing had just begun. Again, the judge was back on the bench. And she was pressing the prosecution on this investigation and the four corners of this plea agreement. One of the prosecutors said that the investigation was very much ongoing, and that she asked him well, what is not covered in this plea agreement if you are leaving the possibility for bringing other future charges? So then the judge said, would this include a possible FARA charge? That’s not registering as a foreign agent? The prosecutor said no, the deal would not include that. It was at that point that she had said to the prosecution, you know, if you were not good, if you can’t charge that, then what does this mean? And the prosecutors — actually she asked Hunter Biden’s attorneys about that. And he said, well, then there’s no deal. And the prosecutor said, then there is no deal. So, Biden’s team said that the plea agreement, as far as they understood, it was now null and void. They were moving ahead to talk about what the next steps would be in this case. So as of right now, the deal appears to be dead and off the table. And it remains to be seen how they’re going to move forward. But he has been charged with those two misdemeanor tax evasion charges. But one thing we learned is that this investigation is very much still ongoing.” MORAN: “There was a huddle between the parties and they are trying to forge some kind of deal that the judge will like and that both parties can agree to. It may not be the same deal exactly that they came into court with, to try to salvage what the judge feels it seems was a deal that was just a little bit too subtle for her and one that mixed apples and oranges in a way that she believes was not fair to Hunter Biden. Because at one point, the judge asked the prosecutors, is there still an ongoing investigation? They said yes. She said, well how can he plead guilty to part of an investigation when it still ongoing? All of that, as you can tell a lot illegal back and forth, it does look like things are back on track, but the bottom line, this Hunter Biden plea deal which was expected to be a routine matter, wasn’t and may still be in jeopardy.” JENKINS: “Well, here we are, John. We now know that Judge Noreika is not going to accept the plea agreement. And as we were talking about just a moment ago, it’s got to do — Judge Noreika does not believe that — she has questions over the constitutionality of that diversion clause of the immunity that Hunter Biden would receive in this deal to not prosecute on the gun charge. She is not okay with that, so the headline here is she has not accepted the plea deal. That would likely indicate we could be headed for a trial. We have not heard from the prosecution or the defense, maybe they’ll be coming out and talking to us, but a major headline here, what we thought that was starting some three hours ago was going to be a routine plea deal, Hunter Biden in the early part of today’s court hearing said he was prepared to plead guilty to the two misdemeanor tax evasion charges, not going to happen. Judge Mary Ellen Noreika not accepting the plea deal, questioning the constitutionality of the diversion clause that kept him from being prosecuted for the felony gun charge. And she also noted, to great extent, almost as if, John, we were sitting in a law classroom, the fact that she did not like the way it was structured and she had never seen one like this and was really questioning how it was that the prosecution and the defense came to this agreement, challenging specific parts, portions, paragraphs, of the agreement and the language therein, and that will certainly lead some to comment, particularly perhaps the House Republicans that have been saying from the beginning that this was a sweetheart deal. The judge saying that she was not okay with the diversion clause portion of this plea deal. That is why she is not accepting the plea today. And of course, it comes after we have seen, in the last 24 hours, quite dramatic developments, namely the House Ways and Means chairman Jason Smith issuing that amicus brief yesterday asking the court and the judge to take a look at the testimony we have seen in recent days, the two IRS whistleblowers and things of that nature. We really did not even get to that. But now we know the outcome, and that is, there is no agreement to the plea deal, the judge saying she cannot accept it.” HERRIDGE: “A member of the U.S. attorney’s team told the court that there was no deal, and one of the lead attorneys for Hunter Biden. Chris Clark said, as far as he was concerned, quote, ‘the plea deal was null and void.’ It was an extremely complex legal discussion over the last couple of hours, but I would boil it down to this. It does appear that the two parties have been talking past each other for months. In this respect, the U.S. attorney’s office says, there’s an ongoing investigation and there could be criminal charges in the future.”

CHEN: “The scorching heat wave in this country is part of alarming global trend. As Phoenix marks its 25th straight day of temperatures above 110 degrees, research shows the entire planet is warming at an accelerated pace. In fact, the 10 warmest years on record have all happened since 2010, including nine years in a row.” DICKERSON: “Experts say this month is on track to become the hottest month since records started. To help us understand all this, we’re joined by climate scientist Michael Mann, author of the upcoming book ‘Our Fragile Moment: How Lessons from Earth’s Past Can Help Us Survive the Climate Crisis.’ Michael Mann is director of the Penn Center for Science, Sustainability and the Media at the University of Pennsylvania. Good morning, Michael.” MANN: “Good morning. Great to be with you guys.” DICKERSON: “Framing the way of looking at the summer that has struck me us people saying it’s hot summer and it’s likely to be the coolest summer that we experience going forward. What does that mean to you?” MANN: “Yeah, well, it means that’s the trajectory we’re on right now. As we continue to burn fossil fuels, put carbon pollution into the atmosphere, we’re warming the planet. We’re getting a little bit of an extra kick this year from an El Niño event. It’s a natural warming in the Pacific Ocean that actually warms up the whole planet a little bit. So you can think of that as a little extra octane added to the fuel of human-caused warming, and that’s part of why we’re seeing such extreme temperatures, but a big part of it is the fact that the planet is warming and it will continue to warm until we stop dumping carbon pollution into the atmosphere.” JACOBSON: “It’s more than just it’s summer and it’s hot. And I know a lot of people are saying, ‘Well, it’s our new normal. We’ll just get used to it.’ You say it’s not the new normal. It’s the new abnormal.” MANN: “Yeah, we call it the new abnormal to convey the fact that first of all, this isn’t normal. If you turn on your television set, read the headlines, we’re seeing unprecedented floods and heat waves and wildfires that are doing real damage now, so dangerous climate change has arrived. And here’s the reason it’s not a new normal. New normal makes it sound like we’ve arrived in a new situation, we just have to figure out — “ JACOBSON: “Right, this should happen anyway, yeah.” MANN: “Yeah, exactly, we can adapt to it, figure out what to do. But it continues to — it’s a moving baseline. It will continue to get warmer and we will continue to see more extreme weather events if we continue to burn fossil fuels and pollute the atmosphere with carbon.” CHEN: “And as alarming as this all is, it’s not unexpected. Climate scientists have been warning about this for quite some time, but there’s such new urgency for this moment right now. How would you describe where we are right now?” MANN: “Yeah, so amazingly, climate scientists, including James Hansen here in New York City, NASA Goddard Institute for Space Studies, which sits on top of Tom’s Diner of ‘Seinfeld’ fame, decades ago, he made a prediction of how much warming we would see if we continue to burn fossil fuels at historical rates, and his prediction was right on. The predictions were right on. So here’s what I say to people. The truth is bad enough. We’re not in a runaway warming scenario. We’re not at a tipping point with the climate. We’re pretty much where the model said we should be when it comes to the overall warming of the planet, but we’re seeing the impacts of that warming, and some of those impacts are exceeding what the models predicted.” DICKERSON: “Let me grab that from you. Something like the jet stream, which we all thought worked a certain way, maybe doesn’t work the same way it used to because of climate change?” MANN: “Yeah, it’s something that our group has actually done some research on. It turns out, to solve this problem, to figure out how global warming influences the jet stream, it involves some of the same math that was developed in the early 1900s to solve problems in quantum mechanics, the behavior of matter at the smallest scale. But what we’re talking about is the behavior of the atmosphere at the global scale. And without going into the details, the pattern of warming of the planet slows down the jet stream, so you get more of these stuck weather patterns that just sit in place day after day, over Phoenix, Arizona or raining in the eastern U.S., and it’s that stuck nature that gives you these extreme heat events, wildfires, floods, and that’s part of the problem. And the climate models haven’t done a great job in capturing that, so some of those impacts are actually worse than the models predicted.” JACOBSON: “Real quickly, you’ve said that this doesn’t mean there is nothing we can do, and some people are saying, ‘It’s over. I can’t worry about it.’ What can people do? Because it isn’t the end of the road here. There are steps people can take.” MANN: “That’s right. You know, there’s the urgency, we all see the urgency, it’s playing out in real time now. But there’s agency. We can still act in time to avert the worst impacts. And there’s a little bit of good news in the science. Over the last decade or so, we’ve learned that if we bring our carbon emissions to zero, the planet actually stops warming up very quickly. So there’s an immediate and direct impact of our efforts to de-carbonize our civilization. But let’s not be Pollyannaish about this. We’ve got to bring carbon emissions down by 50% by 2030, all the way down to zero by the middle of this century if we are to avert catastrophic three degrees Fahrenheit warming. What’s the most important thing we can do? Use our voice, vote for climate advocates. Do everything we can to put pressure on policymakers to make the decisions to do the things that we can’t do ourselves, that will help de-carbonize.” JACOBSON: “And still take some of those small steps you say that you can do on your own.” MANN: “Absolutely.” JACOBSON: “Michael, thank you very much. We appreciate the insight.”

HOST: “So, there’s been — there’s been a little bit of backlash to the standards that were put out. And, you know, like you said, these were done in open session so the public could listen or watch along. What would — what would you say to critics who say these standards have set education back?” Allen: “Well, I can’t answer critics who were haven’t seen or heard. The only criticism I’ve encountered so far is a single one that was articulated by the vice president and which was an error. As I stated in my response to the vice president, it was categorically false. It was never said that slavery was beneficial to Africans. What was said, and anyone who reads this will see this with clarity, it is the case that Africa’s proved resourceful, resilient and adaptive, and were able to develop skills and attitudes which served to their benefit, both while enslaved and after enslavement.”

Reporter: “Chairman James Comer today says that the Oversight Committee has evidence that the president in the past communicated with foreign business associates of his son Hunter Biden many times. Curious if the White House and the president still stand behind this comment that he’s never been involved and he’s never even spoken to his son about his businesses?” Jean-Pierre: “So, I’ve been asked this question a million times. The answer is not going to change. The answer remains the same. The president was never in business with his son. I just don’t have anything else to add.”

A seemingly disturbed US soldier ran across the DMZ into North Korea, and was subsequently taken prisoner by North Korean troops. Who is this solider, why was he anywhere near the DMZ and how did the US military let this happen? And now, how does an American military hostage not lead to a dangerous place? Meanwhile, the US is moving warships into the Persian Gulf to deal with Iranian piracy. Is the US heading for more conflict? Are we heading for war? Retired Army Maj. Mike Lyons breaks it down.

Tony Katz joined Fox News with David Carlucci to discuss the IRS whistleblower testimonies, the Biden foreign bribery allegations and why if the Democrats are going to impeach Trump, dismissing the Biden Bribery scandal is the double standard. ****** SUBSCRIBE ON RUMBLE: www.rumble.com/tonykatz BECOME A SUPPORTER: http://tonykatz.com ****** Follow Tony on Twitter: https://twitter.com/tonykatz Follow Tony on Facebook: https://facebook.com/tonykatzradio Follow Tony on Instagram: https://instragram.com/tonykatz

COLLINS: “People in the RNC are trying to — they’re rolling out an early voting program. They believe that the Democrats are better at early voting than they are.” SOLTIS Anderson: “It’s one thing to say, ‘I wish we would go back to the pre-pandemic way we did elections,’ where there was less early voting, less absentee voting. But there’s also the reality that we’re in, which is that mail-in voting, early voting, absentee voting, these have been expanded, and that is largely here to stay. And so, you have to run in the world that exists. You have to run an election in reality. And if Republicans bail on early voting, they bail on absentee voting, where in some states, like Florida, they have actually had advantages for a while, they are leaving votes on the table. It is tactically disastrous if Republicans abandon it. Jones: “Do not listen to this woman, Republicans. Listen to Donald Trump. Don’t vote early. Please be quiet. It’s the one time I agree with Donald Trump. Republicans, don’t vote early.” COLLINS: “I mean, it’s the Donald Trump and Kari Lake effect. They’re the ones who are discouraging it.”

EARHARDT: “In my home state of South Carolina, you were saying you’re going to rip the wokeness out of the military. You were in the military, you served our country. So what does that look like?” DeSantis: “So first of all, we have to diagnose the problem. Recruiting is at an All Time Low since the draft ended during the Vietnam era. On this current course, it’s a crisis situation. We’re not going to be able to defend our country. And when you see a lot of the wokeness that’s going on the military, China is laughing at us. They see that and they see a weak America. So let’s get back to basics. Let’s focus on the core mission. And that’ll be a day one issue. The wokeness is gone in our military.”

DONALDS: "Last question through your investigation: how much money did you uncover was coming from Ukraine, Romania and China?" ZIEGLER: "If you hold on one Second, Let me reference the- $17.3 Million approximately." DONALDS: "okay, so $17.3 million through your investigation and you are you and Mr Shapely, you are the guys that investigate criminal tax evasion on an international scale is that correct?" ZIEGLER: "Correct." DONALDS: "Okay, Question for the chairman. Mr. Chairman, through the investigation of the oversight committee about how much money have we seen come from Ukraine, Romania in China? CHAIRMAN: "over over 10 million." DONALDS: "okay. So we have two separate investigations, one done by the investigative Branch of the IRS that is charged with doing these types of investigations. These are the people you want doing them and an independent investigation by the oversight committee and we’re coming up with the same amount of money, give or take a couple million going through the same person in Hunter Biden, and his investigation is slow walked and we're supposed to sit here and think that Joe Biden knows nothing? I think, for the record, Mr. Chairman, that the relevant committee needs to have questions for Leslie Wolf, the AUSA of Delaware, for David Weiss, the attorney general of Delaware, for Lisa Monaco who was the deputy attorney general, and for Merrick Garland himself, the attorney general of the United States. Because of this action is allowed to occur and investigations are slow-walked with this level of detail... this ain't Donald Trump, y'all. All these are facts I yield back. INGRAHAM: “Oh. Congressman Donalds, so the pompous Goldman just dragged the president of the United States into this. That was sworn testimony by the whistleblower now on the record.” DONALDS: “Oh, listen, I totally agree with you. That did occur. And it was multiple instances in this hearing. One of the things that came out is the famous Whatsapp message that everybody talks about now, where Hunter is sitting next to his dad and he wants more money and ‘You better give it to us or we are going to remember and we are going to stop everything you are doing,’ that text message, the investigators at the IRS wanted to get location data to actually show that Hunter Biden was where we all believe he was, which is at the Rehoboth Beach House with Joe Biden. The AUSA did not allow them to get the location data. This is simple investigative stuff. Laura, look, I’m not an attorney. I’m a finance guy, but this is simple common sense. If you are trying to track down the flow of money and really see how deep your investigation goes, you simply get the location data. The DoJ stopped the investigators from doing that. And so there’s more information that came out of this hearing that not only did Joe Biden know what was going on, but that Joe Biden in part was benefiting from what was going on.”

VAUGHN: “Why do you think the Secret Service doesn’t care that cocaine was found at the Biden White House?” SWALWELL: “Oh, I hope they care. (...) There’s thousands of people who go in and out of the White House. If you all want to be strip-searched for substances before you go to the White House, that’s something that you should work with the Secret Service to see if they can accommodate.”

KIRBY: "Our policies, whether their diversity inclusion and equity or whether they're about transgender individuals who qualify physically and mentally to serve to be able to do it with dignity. Or whether it's about female service members, 1 in 5, or female family members being able to count on the kinds of health care and reproductive care specifically that they need to serve. That is a foundational sacred obligation of military leaders across the river. I've seen it myself and it matters. Because it says we're invested in you because you are being willing to invest in us. You're investing your life, your families livelihood with us. We owe you that back in return. I had a chance a couple of weeks ago to meet with some military spouses here at the White House. Some were active duty members, some were spouses, all were women. And 2 to 1 they told me that abortion laws in this country that are now being passed are absolutely having an effect on their willingness to continue serving in uniform or to encourage or discourage, in this case, their spouses from continuing service."

Pence: “All I know for sure, having lived through it at the Capitol, is that it was a tragic day. I’ve never used the word insurrection, Tucker, over the last two years, but it was a riot that took place at the Capitol that day. I saw firsthand where they evacuated us down to the loading dock. Below the Senate chamber police officers that as the day wore on, were streaming through, 150 law enforcement officers that were assaulted, obviously, the tragic loss of life ransacking the Capitol that occurred. But I really do believe that a day of tragedy became a triumph for freedom. And I’ll always believe that by God’s grace, I did my duty that day under the Constitution of the United States of America and our institutions held.” (Applause) Carlson: “When — when — when you say the tragic loss of life, who are you referring to?” Pence: “Well, obviously, Ashli Babbitt would come to mind immediately. And when I think of the —“ Carlson: “What do you think of the fact that she was shot?” Pence: “Well, I — I just think it was a tragic moment, without question. But I would — I have to tell you that seeing people assaulting law enforcement officers, smashing windows, breaking into the Capitol Building, it infuriated me. And it’s very likely that the restraint that was shown by law enforcement officers saved lives that day.” Carlson: “I believe you have a good faith position on this, and we have disagreements on it, but I want to just — I can’t let you allied over the question of the treatment of Christians and I heard you —” Pence: “I know. I heard that. Again, Tucker —““ Carlson: “— and would you be — no, but hold on, would you be — would you be willing — [crosstalk]” Pence: “— I’m telling you — you promised you don’t accept my answer? I just told you that I asked the religious leader in Kiyv if it was happening. You asked me if I raised the issue, and I did.” Carlson: “And I’m saying you’re factually incorrect.” Pence: “I also raised it with the Ukrainians. And I was told that there are — there are religious leaders who have been working with the Russian military that is murdering people by the thousands.” Carlson: “OK.” Pence: “I mean, Tucker, look —” Carlson: “Wait, but hold on, don’t you think —” Pence: “Let me explain to you what I think our national interest is there.” Carlson: “I would think you would have greater concern for religious liberty in Ukraine. And I’m surprised by your answer.” [crosstalk] Pence: “I — I told you I raised the issue of religious liberty.” Carlson: “No, you spoke to one person who’s clearly on the one side of it.” Pence: “I didn’t say I spoke to one person.” Carlson: “And there are many, many news reports that are not disputed by anybody that many clergy have been arrested in Ukraine. And I’m merely saying, I may not agree with their views, I’m not Russian Orthodox, but you can’t arrest clergy for having different views, period. Because if you do you violate the basic tenant of religious liberty.” Pence: “Look, I won’t — look I want to be clear with you. I won’t stand by it. I won’t stand for it. If people are being persecuted for their religious beliefs, I won’t stand for it. Pence: “...we'll let’s somebody transfer some jets.” Carlson: “I’m sorry, Mr. Vice President, have you — I know you’re running for president, you are distressed —” Pence: “Thank you. Thank you for noticing.” Carlson: “— you are distressed that the Ukrainians don’t have enough American tanks. Every city in the United States has become much worse over the past three years.” Pence: “Yeah.” Carlson: “Drive around. (Applause) There’s not one city that’s gotten better in the United States.” Pence: “Right.” Carlson: “And it’s visible. Our economy has degraded, the suicide rate has jumped, public filth and disorder and crime have exponentially increased.” Pence: “Right.” Carlson: “And yet, your concern is that the Ukrainians, a country most people can’t find on a map, who’ve received tens of billions of U.S. tax dollars don’t have enough tanks.” Pence: “Right.” Carlson: “I think it’s a fair question to ask like, where’s the concern for the United States in that? “ Pence: “Well, that’s not my concern. Tucker, I’ve heard that routine from you before, but that’s not my concern. I’m running for president in the United States because I think this country is in a lot of trouble. I think Joe Biden has weakened America at home and abroad.”

This is not about the work the rank and file FBI agents do every day. This is about the FBI leadership, over the last 10 years (or more!) that have worked in a partisan fashion. Those in leadership who put themselves over the country. And that includes current FBI Director Christopher Wray, who consistently avoids answering question from Congress, shielding himself behind the canards of "ongoing investigation." When will Speaker McCarthy say enough is enough, and actually do something about the FBI's failure to be responsive to the most basic questions?

The Biden Administration is crowing about the drop in inflation. Don't get me wrong, the CPI report wasn't bad...but it was far from great. But ask the White House, and they will tell you that "Bidenomics" is working, that President Biden is a genius, that the American economy is roaring. If that's true, then why is everything so damn expensive? Food, housing, air travel....all crazy high. The auto industry still suffers. Major companies are still conducting layoffs. Does this feel like an economy on the rise? Americans for Prosperity’s Vice President of Government Affairs Akash Chougule joins Tony to break down what is happening to Midwest Main Street, how it differs from the "reality" on Wall Street and why everyday Americans are not celebrating.

BIGGS: "Former Capitol Police Chief Steven Sund reportedly has asserted that the protest crowd was filled with federal agents. Are you aware of his assertion?” WRAY: “I am not.” BIGGS: “Would, you agree with him that it was filled with federal agents on January six.” WRAY: “I would really have to see more closely exactly what he said and get the full context of the able to evaluate” BIGGS: “how many agents were actually agents or Human resources were present in the Capitol complex and vicinity on January six?” WRAY: “Again, it’s gonna get confusing because it depends on when we were deployed and responded to the breach that occured." BIGGS: "Sure you’re talking you’re- You and I both know what we’re talking different things here and please don’t don’t distract here because we’re focusing on that were there in an undercover capacity on January six. How many were there.” WRAY: “Again, I am not sure that I can give you that number. As I sit here, I’m not sure there were undercover agents on scene.” BIGGS: “I find that kind of a remarkable statement director at this point- you don’t know whether there and undercover federal agents, FBI agents in the crowd or in the capital on January 6th. “ WRAY: “I say that because I want to be very careful, there been a number of court filings related to some of these topics and I want to make sure that I should stick with-" BIGGS: "I understand that, but I just I thought I heard you say you didn’t know whether there were FBI, agents or informers answer humans sources in the capital or in this in vicinity on January 6th. Did I misunderstand you, I thought that’s what you said. WRAY: I referred very specifically to undercover agents. BIGGS: yeah, and so are you acknowledging? Then there were undercover agents? WRAY: "As I sit here right now, I do not believe there were undercover agents-" BIGGS: "Any assets? Did you have any assets present that day in the crowd?" WRAY: "When it comes to what you're calling assets, or what we would call confidential human sources, that's a place where, again, I want to be careful, much as I said in response to an earlier question- there are court filings that I think speak to this that I'm happy to make sure we get to you, assuming they're not. under seal, and that can better answer the question than I can as I sit here." ****** ISSA: “How many individuals were either FBI employees or people that the FBI had made contact with or in the January 6th entry of the Capitol and surrounding area?” Wray: “So, I really need to be careful here talking about where we have or have not used confidential human sources — “ ISSA: “Was there one or more — was there one or more individuals that would fit that description on January 6 that were in or around the Capitol?” Wray: “I believe there is a filing in one of the January 6 cases that can provide a little more information about this and I’m happy to see if we can follow back up with you and provide that — “ ISSA: “I just want an answer was there one or more. I mean, you would know if there was at least one individual who worked for the FBI who entered the Capitol on that day.” Wray: “I can’t — again, I just can’t speak to that here, but I’m happy to get the court filing that — “ ISSA: “Look, it’s been two years and you’re now — you’ve now come before us. The gentleman asked these questions, makes all kinds of insinuations, and you — you nod your head yes, and then I ask you simply was there one or more, and you won’t answer that. So I’m going to make the assumption that there was more than one, more than five, more than 10, and that you’re ducking the question because you don’t want to answer for the fact that you had at least one and somehow missed understanding that some of the individuals were very dangerous and that there were others inciting individuals to enter the Capitol after others broke windows. So, I’m just going to move on because I think it is time to move on past January 6. I just — it seems that the other side won’t.”

They named it Bidenomics. Or, at least, they embraced the term. The White House can't stop crowing about how great the economy is doing. They still claim they've created jobs...even though it's nothing more than people being allowed to go back to work post-Covid. They claim that not beating jobs numbers is actually great growth. And with today's top line news about inflation being down, they are ecstatic. But is inflation down? Will we see the Federal Reserve bring down interest rates? Are businesses feeling comfortable for the foreseeable future? Economist Dr. Matt Will from the University of Indianapolis shares his take with Tony.

When former Supreme Court Justice Sandra Day O'Connor voted in favor of affirmative action, she stated, "The Court expects that 25 years from now, the use of racial preferences will no longer be necessary to further the interest approved today." In a 6-3 and 6-2 decision, the Supreme Court found that the "race-conscious" admission policies of the University of North Carolina and Harvard violate the Constitution. With that, affirmative action came to an end. What has not ended is the extreme reactions from the political Left, which range for hysteria to near total insanity. Cornell Law Professor William Jacobson explains the law and the decision, as well as the politics of the reaction and what many universities will do next.

Williamson: “I don’t think it’s good for democracy, I think it’s very important that the Democratic electorate get a chance to weigh in. I look at the campaign season as a long job interview process, and the voters should have a chance to interview all of the candidates for the job, and that does include the president. It’s kind of outrageous how overt they are about absolutely admitting that they are doing what they can in the primary season to support the president.”
