Hello, happy saturday. I am kennedy along with griff jenkins, lisa boothe and joey jones. Welcome to the big weekend show. The big story tonight President Bidens Ice Cream Priority is of course, i get grossed out watching him eat ice cream. Taking action to fix pesky soft serve ice cream machines. I eat a lot of ice cream. Maybe he should start drinking and smoking pipe doesnt he have a lot more to worry about then his love of the frozen dairy tree . Is under fire for praising Senator Schumer anti israel speech on the senate floor. Lucas tomlinson lived at the white house with that. Critics call the speech by the Senate Majority leader unprecedented in the example of election interference. Heres Chuck Schumer thursday. I believe a new election is the only way to allow for healthy open decisionmaking process about the future of israel. President biden speaking of the oval office appeared to approve the speech and says he was given a headsup. I think he expressed serious concern by many.
But President Putin is certain to win six more years in office. The uks jobs problem why more than one in five working age adults arent looking for work. Well have a Special Report from our analysis editor ros atkins. And the story of the viral hanging granny. She became an Internet Sensation and well meet the man whos immortalised the moment in paint. All that to come on the programme tonight. We start with the war in ukraine. But at a meeting that took place thousands of kilometres from the front line. The gathering today of three european leaders could have major implications for the conflict. But there is a dilemma among the three leading Military Powers of Mainland Europe just how to maintain a unified response, when theres growing differences on what that response looks like. French president emmanuel macron, german chancellor olaf scholz, and polish Prime Minister donald tusk met in berlin today amid rumours of a rift between the french and german leaders. Its a clash between wh
Good evening. Im abby phillip in new york. And tonight, how joe biden got his groove back and why youre about to hear what he said last night. More than a taylor swift single on the radio. 30 plus Million People tuned in last night to watch the president insist that the state of our union is strong, but also to see if biden could still look strong himself. Its something republicans told you over and over again that he simply could not do. President biden, on the other hand, im not even sure if he knows where he is. And i dont say that flippantly, neal. It actually hurts. He is our president , even if i disagree with him violently. But he clearly is not all there may be automatically that we laugh at it, because some of his ideas and all of his ideas are are laughable, arent they . But also, the longer we laugh, the less hell speak. Probably, or the longer hell have to be up there. Republicans. They bet on sleepy joe and a day later the spin is suddenly totally different. Biden wasnt sl
Economy and help families with permanent tax breaks. Labour will argue that any reductions will still leave people worse off because of the freezing of Tax Thresholds. Ben king reports. The background to todays budget has been gloomy, with the economy in recession. But it looks like the chancellor will still find room to cut taxes. The conservatives are trailing labour in the polls, and looking Forjeremy Hunt to give them some cheer in places like this, winchester, a seat the Lib Dems Hope to win. So what do people here think about tax cuts . I think it would be a good idea because it gives people more money to spend on what they want to buy. Realistically, people arent going to save that much money from a tax cut, whereas more money in Public Services means Better Health care services. Itsjust much more important. I would prefer not to have a tax cut, but to see more money invested in the community. If the Public Services were properly organised, theres more than enough money to do it
Dont look now, but the border crisis is back with a vengeance and a big concern among president ial candidates that make that a primary start. Why tim scott shows this time to do it. Scary numbers are probably the reason. Kevin corke has more. Kevin . Griff jenkins. I apologize. Look out, kevin corke. Neil my bad. Ive covered the border forever. Theres a reason why tim scott isnt just going to the border for a photo open. Hes going there because the situation is not under control. Sources tell me that Border Encounters are trending up, averaging between 5,000 and 5,500 a day across the entire southwest border. Cbp says they seized more than 22,000 pounds this fiscal year alone as mexican cartels tightener that grip on the border. Heres senator scott. As president of the united states, i would sign the legislation i created that would freeze the assets of the mexican car tens. We have the power to do that. Just a few hours area, jason owens tweeted this saying yesterday Border Patrol ag
