Watereddown version of the first order that was also blocked we another judge and should have never been blocked to start with. This new order was tailored to the dictates of the ninth circuit in my opinion flawed and this is a judicial overreach. Shannon chief correspondent john roberts on the north lawn. Lots to get to. Lets get to the budget proposal. Lets get to the numbers. The budget director told us he went through every word of every speech the president gave in the campaign trail and developed a budget policy for it. There are going to be increases and some cuts. First of all lets go through the increases. A big increase in defense spending. Therell be an additional 54 billion on and 52 billion to the dod and department of Homeland Security for 3 billion. Veterans affairs goes up by 6 , 4. 4 billion. In order to pay for this without increasing the deficit theyll be slashing spending across the rest of the discretionary budget. These are not little cuts, these are deep ones as
House. We cant say we didnt know it was a coming. Still, a very eventful day at the white house. Absolutely. And we have seen the president not able to keep some of the Campaign Promises over the last couple months of the administration. But he did it today. In the rose garden of the white house, the president absolutely kept a Campaign Promise time and again that he could pull the u. S. Out of the paris climate agreement. He framed it as a victory for American Workers and a defeat of mocking the u. S. Here is more of what he had to say. At what point does america get demean . What point do they stop laughing at us as a country . We want fair treatment. We want fair treatment of t taxpay taxpayers. We dont want other countries laughing at us anymore. And they wont be.

House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy is furiously claiming that a newly authorized select committee to investigate the deadly Jan. 6 Capitol insurrection will be the least bipartisan committee you can find. But just seven years ago, he voted for a nearly identical investigation into attacks against the U.S. diplomatic compound in Benghazi, Libya, in 2012.
On Fox News on Thursday night, McCarthy (R-CA) was asked about the Select Committee to Investigate the January 6th Attack on the United States Capitol, created last Wednesday by a majority vote in the House of Representatives over his objections. Think about the structure. It s not an equal number of Republicans or Democrats, McCarthy complained. She [House Speaker Nancy Pelosi] appointed [Reps.] Adam Schift [sic] and [Jamie] Raskin.
