Thank you for being here. We still have a situation crisis at our southern border. They are so tangled up in efforts to impeach the president and battles within their own caucus that they seem unable to do anything at the American People elected us to come here and do. We have seen the mexicans take key steps to help alleviate the crisis but we still have to close the loopholes here in congress. We have to make sure we take that responsibility to keep our nation safe. Instead, democrats are Holding Hearings with people like john dean. They will be Holding Hearings on the Green New Deal and health care this week. While things at the border continue to get worse, while people across the nation expect our representatives to be here to make sure we continue to get the economy going, continue to back lations will regulations rolled back, democrats are doing that. Pillars,cally have two embracing socialism and attempting to impeach this president. Republicans will continue to work to make su
I came away with a couple different impressions. First of all Artificial Intelligence was everything. Every panel, every roundtable, every discussion centered around Artificial Intelligence. People like to raise Artificial Intelligence really when its not even speak as we believe this but you can finishwatchingd take you live to discussion of the Banking System and Financial Services sector with Bank Executives and former regulators. You are watching live coverage on cspan2. 1300 bankers state Association Leaders independence day. Even more watching on our liveke out of your busy schedules to add your voice, your advocacy efforts. I also want to walk members of the media who are joining us, and i would like to extend a special thanks to the members of congress, regulars and other es our program over the next few days. This event is all about advocacy. Its about dimmest setting to the policy community that bankers are committed to working constructively toward a policy environment that
What started as a field of seven is now down to just one. Republicans in Congress Nominating minnesotas tom emmer as their third Speaker Designate in the past two weeks. But can he succeed where Steve Scalise and jim jordan failed and get the votes to become speaker . Plus, one by one, members of Donald Trumps inner circle are flipping on their former boss. Today, a fourth trump codefendant, jenna ellis, pleading guilty to charges in georgia. But the biggest gut punch may be yet to come. Just moments ago, trumps former fixer, Michael Cohen, took the stand in new york and very soon well get our first view from inside the courthouse because theyre on break right now. And as Israel Ratchets up the pressure on hamas and pounds targets inside gaza, Secretary Of State blinken warns the u. N. That the world stands at a crossroads. His plea for peace and a twostate solution. But are other countries, notably israel and iran, willing to listen . But we begin on capitol hill, where right now beli
And we start this friday morning with a fox news alert. Former President Donald Trump has apparently thrown his support behind ohio congressman jim jordan for the race for speaker of the house. Trumps endorsement on truth social last night comes ahead of a wednesday vote next wednesday as republicans seek a candidate who they believe is the best fit to replace former House Speaker Kevin Mccarthy. Lawrence trump posted overnight congressman jim jordan has been a star long before making his very successful journey to washington, d. C. Represent representing ohios fourth congressional district. He will be greater speaker of the house. And he has my complete and total endorsement. Brian trump isnt fully ruling out stepping in. Telling us quote, i almost said u. S. I have been asked to speak as a unifier because i have so many friends in congress if they dont get the vote they have asked me if i would consider taking the speakership until they get somebody longer term because i am running f
Time, to borrow from star wars lexicon, there is a disturbance in the force there. Like, he is shaken. I mean, heres the front page of the daily news, Talking About Poor Donald. Of course, theyre talking about him coming off the forbes list. If you want to understand donald trump, weve said this from the beginning, just understand the money. The money. I still think a lot of these criminal investigations and the possibility of going to jail, too abstract for him. But him sitting there, the possible of losing his businesses, losing trump tower, having to pay 250 million he doesnt have, i think thats getting to him. Look at a clip of Attorney General in New York State that i think has just kind of had enough. This case was brought simply because it was a case where individuals have engaged in a pattern and practice of fraud. And i will not sit idly by and allow anyone to subvert the law. Lastly, i will not be bullied. So mr. Trump is no longer here. The donald trump show is over. I will
