Cruz: “You know, given ‘Squawk Box’ gets into the numbers, I think it’s worth pausing for a second and reflecting at how different this is from the past. So, 2017, total federal spending was about $4 trillion. Total federal tax revenue was about $3.3 trillion. Now, quick math, that means we had about a $700 million deficit. That was 2017. Fast forward to today. Total spending has gone from $4 trillion up to $6.5 trillion, $6.4 trillion. Tax revenues have exploded. Tax revenues have gone from $3.3 trillion to $4.8 trillion. Now, quick pause to note, when we signed the 2017 tax cuts that I fought very hard to pass, every Democrat went on TV and said this going to slash federal revenues and blow up the deficits. Turns out they were entirely wrong on that. Every year, federal tax revenues have gone up, and they have gone up from $3.3 trillion to $4.8 trillion. The problem isn’t tax revenues. The problem is we had a spending binge from the Democrats that has caused the national debt to go from $20 billion to — $20 trillion, rather, to $32 trillion.”

NAVARRO: “... speaks about things like after the police shootings in — in — against African-Americans in 2016 he did some speeches on the Senate floor —“ Goldberg: “Mm-hmm.” NAVARRO: “— that were incredibly impactful about what it’s like to live in America, what it’s like to live in the south. Let’s remember he’s from South Carolina, in the skin of a black man.” HOSTIN: “But yet he ignores systemic racism.” Goldberg: “Yeah.” GRIFFIN: “No, but —“ HOSTIN: “He pretends that —“ [crosstalk] NAVARRO: “But what I’m saying to you is, they’re not hearing it from Tim Scott, they’re not hearing it, period.” GRIFFIN: “I think —“ NAVARRO: “At least he’s adding that.” HOSTIN: “But I think one of the issues that Tim Scott has is that he seems to think because I made it, everyone can make it, ignoring again, the fact that he is the exception and not the rule. And until he is the rule —“ GRIFFIN: “ But he has —“ HOSTIN: “— then he can stop talking about systemic racism.” Goldberg: “It’s great Clarence Thomas syndrome.” [crosstalk] TIM SCOTT: "I believe in the gospel. If you break into my house, I believe in the Second Amendment and will make sure we defend everything in this country. We have to disprove their lives by our actions. The host wants to be judged by the content of her character and not the color of her skin. America is a story of evolution and to many of our schools indoctrinating our kids instead of educating. I am not the exception. I'm actually the rule. Every kid trapped in a failing school can look at big labor unions and blame them. Every parent who wants a choice, look to the Republican Party, the GOP African Americans, Hispanic and Americans, they all agree on school choice. What is in the way of providing a child with a better education or future? The radical left."

Scott: “We live in the land of opportunity. We live in the land where it is absolutely possible for a kid raised in poverty, in a single parent household, in a small apartment to one day, serve in the people’s house, and maybe even the White House. (Cheering and Applause) This — this is the greatest nation on God’s green earth. Today I’m thinking back to my grandfather, born in 1921 in Sally, South Carolina, in the Deep South. By the time he was in the third grade, he was forced out of school, his education was over and he was forced to start picking cotton. But my grandfather lived long enough to watch his grandson pick out a seat in Congress. (Cheering and Applause) That’s — that’s the evolution of the country we live in. My family went from cotton to Congress in his lifetime. (Cheering and Applause) And it was only — it was only possible because my grandfather had a stubborn faith, faith in God, faith in himself, and faith in what America would be. He looked beyond the pain of his present and he saw the promise of his future. That black man who struggled through the Jim Crow South, believed then what some doubt now, in the goodness of America. (Cheering and Applause) I was seven years old when my parents divorced. We moved in with my grandparents. My mom and my brother, we all three shared one bed and one bedroom, in that 700 square foot rental home. But my grandfather said to me, ‘Son, you can be bitter or you can be better.’ But you can’t be both. You see, he chose patriotism over pity. He focused on the windshield of his life, and not on the rearview mirror. And today, I’m living proof that America is the land of opportunity and not a land of oppression. (Cheering and Applause) Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. But you see this, this isn’t just my story. It’s all of our stories. The circumstances and the situations may be different, the details may change, but every single one of us are here because of the American journey, where there were obstacles that became opportunities and our pain revealed our purpose. If you believe that, can somebody say amen?”

Biden: “Well, number one, you’re right, we should have an open hotline. At the Bali conference, that’s what President Xi and I agreed we’re going to do and meet on, and then this silly balloon that was carrying two freight cars worth of spying equipment was flying over the United States and it got shot down and everything changed in terms of talking to one another. I think you’re going to see that begin to thaw very shortly. “So, and my — it will proceed, I can — even if I — I think I do know. I am not gonna tell you because that would not be a smart thing to do either.”

CONWAY: We’ll never be apologized to, but the American people deserve an apology, Steve, because I think the FBI, the bad actors there on the seventh floor the Department of Justice, Schiff, Comey, Brennan, Clapper, his friend Tapper at CNN and the whole lot of them, I think they only get away with this if we are all as stupid as they think we are. And now we are awakened. They have awakened a sleeping giant. I do not want to hear reforms have been in place. I don’t want to hear, ‘Nothing to see, nothing to worry about.’ People should be very concerned because politicization of our highest law enforcement agency is weaponization of our highest law enforcement agency. And this is all on the altar of winning a presidential campaign. We’ve got another one less than 18 months away. I think I am not the only American right now who feels afraid and who feels a lack of security and certainty that we won’t again see people at the highest echelons of power trying to prop up the ultimate floppy jalopy lemon, Joe Biden.

DeSantis: “So really, since November, that’s what we’ve been focused on in Florida. Some of it is things that I’ve done, executive, but most of it has been done in concert with the legislative Branch. I mean, the thing about doing it, as you all know, when you enact the stuff into law, you could have a new governor come in and they can’t just change it. If all you are doing is executive actions, you can have someone come in and change it. We’ve seen that with Biden, a lot of things that he has done. So we’ve just completed what I would say is the boldest and most far-reaching agenda that we’ve seen in the modern history of the Republican Party. If you look at what we’ve been able to accomplish, there is something in there for anybody in terms of the issues that we tackled.” “So, we’re the first university system, first state to eliminate from our university system this idea of DEI. We signed the bill. It’s gone as of Monday. And it stands for diversity, equity and inclusion, but in reality, that’s a veneer to impose orthodoxy on the university. If you dissent from that, that watch out. They even have, in different parts of the country, they’ve had faculty, prospective faculty have to take a DEI oath just to get hired. And these are folks, if they say — you know, I believe everyone should be treated equally regardless of their race or ethnicity. They will mark you down for saying color blindness and equal treatment. And so, this has become a cottage industry. It’s become, actually, a major grifting opportunity because you’ll have these DEI consultants, they’ll show up, ‘Yeah, I would like to come and lecture about how capitalism is racist, only if you pay me $50,000 an hour.’ And I’m like, ‘Okay, come on.’ So our view is that DEI, really, the way it’s practiced, stands for discrimination, exclusion and indoctrination. That has no part in our public institutions, so it’s gone in Florida.” “We also signed legislation kneecapping this idea of ESG in our state. No ESG in our pension fund, we’ve got $180 billion pension fund, no ESG in contracting local, state government, the bond ratings have to be done based on credit, not based on ESG. And the ESG stuff, really, that’s just a veneer as well. It’s a veneer for them to be able to justify departing from traditional economic and business principles and mobilizing really significant economic resources in service of an ideological agenda. And they want that agenda, they’ll say, you know, climate change or anti-Second Amendment or whatnot, but I think of more — and I think the policies they’re pursuing will be destructive, but I think on a more fundamental level, they are trying to change policy in this country without having to go through you folks, without having to actually put their name on a ballot or vote for folks, because they know a lot of the policies they are advocating would not do well at the ballot box. So can you just — are they allowed to just dispense with that, collude together, use massive amounts of economic power to change the economy or to change policy? And our view is that we the people govern, and we don’t want a social or economic transformation without representation. So, ESG is DOA in the state of Florida.”

We have the Durham Report. We know the Russian collusion narrative was a lie. We know the FBI, DoJ, other high ranking public officials, and members of the media who knew it was a lie, and spread the hoax anyway. Now what? Congressman Jim Banks joins us to discuss the options the GOP House has to hold those responsible accountable.

GEIST: “Mr. Mayor, you opened a lot eyes a couple of days ago when you announced that almost 50 percent of the hotel rooms in New York City are occupied by asylum seekers, by migrants who have come here after crossing the border into the country. And you have not been shy about saying the Biden Administration needs to do more to help you out. We are proud that we’re a sanctuary city, as you said, you’re proud that we welcome migrants here. But the system is overwhelmed. What gives here — how do you — how do you see a way out of this?” Adams: “Yes. And when you — the exact numbers, when you look at our hotel rooms from 51 to 200 occupancy that could really handle the — the migrants, 40 — close — over — little over 40 percent of them are handled by migrant and not outside visitors, particularly around now when people come to graduation ceremonies, they go to those small hotels. It has overwhelm our system. And 65,000 of people come into the city just last week and a half ago. We have 4,200 in one week. In one day, we had 900. The numbers are just unbelievable when you think about it. Our goal is to make sure that we have a real decompression strategy at the border and a decompression strategy in the state. And really the Democrats we’re losing this argument. You know, we have an obligation to stay true to what I believe the party stands for. And I think the entire party needs to get behind how we handled this mission. Senator Schumer, Congressman Jeffries and the New York delegation, they have done an amazing job of getting resources. The resources have not gotten here, particularly through FEMA.”

REID: “In that scene of women weeping and chanting ‘Shame!’ while a man bangs the gavel and basically tells them, ‘If you can’t be quiet and let us strip you of your rights, you can get out,’ it felt very Taliban to me. And I bring up Taliban a lot with my poor beleaguered team, but the thing about Republicans now is that they are acting in very Taliban-esque way. They are a religious group of extremists who — they definitely don’t care about children. They want to control women. They want total control over women and they are exercising that control. Let’s put up the map. All across the former slave states and in states in the West that they control, while women have no power to stop them or a few join them, then these women wake up in a state where they have no rights.”

Watch the FULL Interview HERE: https://rumble.com/v2o4dc4-russian-collusion-was-always-a-scam-live-with-rep.-jim-banks.html The Durham Report shows that the FBI did not follow any proper procedures when investigating Operation Crossfire Hurricane. And it is obvious that they didn't care. They wanted to engage a political witch hunt, no matter what the consequences to President Trump or the American people. Rep. Jim Banks (R-IN 3) is the former head of the Republican Study Committee and is currently the leader of the Anti-Woke Caucus in the House of Representatives. He's also been very vocal about the Durham Report, which shows conclusively that Hillary Clinton and her campaign made up everything about President Trump and collusion with the Russians. It also shows how eager the politicized FBI was (and maybe still is) to protect her while attacking the duly elected President. Tony Katz speaks to Rep. Banks about his views of the Durham Report, what actions the House might take and what can/will be done to prevent such unAmerican actions in the future?

Reporter: “What is the White House reaction to Special Counsel Durham’s report on how the FBI handled the Trump-Russia probe?” Jean-Pierre: “I would leave it to the Department of Justice to speak to it.” Reporter: “He talks often about how he wants the DoJ and FBI to remain independent and, you know, above the fray. That report seems to reflect the opposite. Is — does he agree with the Special Counsel Durham that there needs to be wholesale changes at the FBI?” Jean-Pierre: “Again, that is with the Department of Justice, that’s not something that I’m going to speak from the podium. As you just stated in your question, we believe in an independent Department of Justice, that’s what the president said when he was running and that’s what the president said the last two years. Thank you so much. I’ll see you guys in Japan.”

>> No and look Chris- this is just breaking now and just over three hundred page report in one of the things that we need to do is that I need to do somebody who worked on this for many years. Ninety do and read that report in your so far, it looks like there is a lot of. It’s brought a lot of clarity to some issues, just that my first read of it, but you’ve asked as you focus on the right thing, and that is who’s going to pay a price, and the answer is no one’s going to pay a price, but that was always the case. I think I said this earlier this year that the longer term was there, the better it was hopefully Durham could could get as much as he could in this report. But here’s the thing the end of the day, the by the administration controls. What Durham does and you know until the term speaks with it’s we’re not going to know. Did he make these decisions or someone to pressure him, but it was always kind of a scratch or when they brought these brought these and diaper since that, where they into Washington, d, c and really Durham put the FBI on and the d o j on trial there. So I take this from my early just perusing of the of the of the report, and that is that the Department of Justice and the FBI are solely owned by the Democratic Party and their propaganda machine, and this term report on a scare, the living hell out of everyone, because think about this. It’s only gotten worse since this time period we’re talking about two thousand and sixteen two thousand and Seventeen and two thousand and eighteen. This change the course of human history. It change the course of our. Our elections remember: we had to sit through year after year after year of this nonsense of Trump and Republicans having something to do with Russia. Chris, even to this day, you have lunatics that say that every single day, so the Department of Justice, the FBI, congratulations. You scumbags, you have successfully poison the minds of millions of Americans while at the same time you’re gonna have half of America, including myself, who doesn’t trust. Anything the Department of Justice or the FBI have to say. That’s, what they are absolutely.

John Durham is done with his report on the origins of the Mueller investigation into President Trump and so-called connections to Russia. What did we learn? Well, we learned what we already knew! the FBI did not follow procedure. The Clinton campaign invented the whole thing. The Mainstream Media can not be trusted, and acts as an arm of the Democratic Party. The report is just proof of how ugly our "leaders" treat us, the citizens. When will it stop? How do we stop it? Cornell Law Professor William Jacobson explains the legal and political ramifications. Presented by Americans For Prosperity http://americansforprosperity.org

DeSantis: “The first bill that I’ll be signing is SB-266. And what this does is reorient our universities back to their traditional mission. And part of that traditional mission is to treat people as individuals, not to try to divvy them up based on any type of superficial characteristics. We’re going to elevate merit and achievement above identification with certain groups. And in order to do that, we had to look at this new concept, relatively new concept, called diversity, equity and inclusion. And I didn’t know much — I mean, this is something relatively recent. I mean, Chris Rufo can talk about when this really started to percolate. I think it had probably been there a few years ago, but then kind of the post BLM rioting, and the George Floyd summer 2020, I think you saw it really take off. And on its face, I mean, I see — when I see diversity, I think like, you know, different viewpoints, have a robust academic discussion in the university. Isn’t that what they’re for? In reality, what this concept of the DEI has been, its attempt to impose orthodoxy on the university, and not even necessarily in the classroom, but through the administrative apparatus of the university itself. And that manifests itself in a number of different ways. But this has basically been used as a veneer to impose an ideological agenda. And that is wrong. And in fact, if you look at the way this has actually been implemented across the country, DEI is — is better viewed as standing for discrimination, exclusion and indoctrination. And that has no place in our public institutions."

PSAKI: “No doubt the public does not want these type of cuts. But if these cuts are attached to it and you’re a trained lawyer, one of the many things in your background, do you think the better option would be for the president to invoke the 14th Amendment to raise the debt limit, if it came to that?” PORTER: “I’m sure the White House is in the business right now of trying to think that through to understand what that tool would look like, it’s not something that we’ve done before. I do think the best path forward is for Congress to come up with a strong solution here, for us to do our job on a bipartisan basis. But the 14th Amendment exists for a reason. It is there, in part to make sure that this kinds of politics and these kinds of games are not played, that the United States meets its obligations. So I think it’s a backstop. I don’t think we’re there yet. But I’m sure the White House Counsel Office is very, very busy this weekend, taking a look at the 14th Amendment.”

KARL: “Do you have the numbers? How many have been released without a mandated court date?” MAYORKAS: “So, we released a number because of the surge that we experienced before Title 42 came to an end. Now, with a 50% drop in the number of encounters at our southern border, we are executing our consequence regime exactly as planned.”

ACOSTA: “It’s been three days since the end of Title 42, the pandemic-era policy that slowed the number of migrants allowed into the U.S. With Thursday’s expiration, many border communities were bracing for a surge of migrants, but, at least for now, that has not happened yet. Homeland Security officials say there were about 4,200 encounters yesterday, as they call them. That’s a big number from the day before. Yesterday’s numbers are less than half of the 10,000 seen at the U.S.-Mexico border in the days before Title 42 ended. Just minutes ago, we heard from President Biden as he completed a bike ride, and here is what he had to say about the situation down at the border.” [Clip starts] Reporter: “How do you think things are going at the border?” Biden: “Much better — much better than you all expected. (Laughs) No, I think — “ Reporter 2: “Do you have any plans to visit the border?” Biden: “Pardon me?” Reporter 2: “Do you have any plans to visit the border?” Biden: “Not in the near term, no. No, it’d just be disruptive, not anything else.”
