Good morning, it isn. Thursday, july 18. Im Yasmin Vossoughian. At a Campaign Rally in greenville, North Carolina, President Trump launched in a fivemind broadside against ilhan omar. Three of them were actually born in the United States and all are citizens of this country. As the president went on, the crowds fury increased leading to a new and very alarming rally chant. Take a listen. Representative ilhan omar. Omar laughed that americans speak in al qaeda with such a tone. You dont say america with american intensity. You say al qaeda makes you proud. You dont speak that way about america. She looks down with contempt on the hardworking americans saying ignorance is pervasive in many parts of this country. Obviously and importantly omar has a history of launching vicious antisemetic screens. Ee send her back. Send her back. So congresswoman omar responded with the words of the poet maya angelou. You may shoot me with your words. But like air, i will rise. The house has voted to set
Communities to benefit other communities. We have another example of what donald trump tries to do in our country which is divide us against each other to have zero type of politics against us and them. This has real consequences.

This president is trying to rip healthcare away from all those who got access and to throw us back into a reality where Insurance Companies decide who gets insurance and who does not. W

You may think people at home are going to say wow, i think if he has a right to be upset. If someone said that. Im going to the you know what white house. If someone said that about me. Im not sure i would invite them into the place im living. Youre not the president. Not yet. He has a stewardship of the country. Hes played it out before and sees how it plays with the media. This time it could be different. I know i dont like what they said about me. The team

First, President Trump is open to embracing new gun control measures. The commanderinchief says change is needed in the pair of Mass Shootings last weekend that left 31 dead.

A former Senior Advisor to mitt romney and john mccain. Anyway, lets go to Kristen Welker first. This was somewhat predictable, but not entirely predictable. We knew there would be a south lawn walkout. For more than 30 minutes President Trump talked and described acosta in which could only be an awkward resignation. I think theres some surprise that it happened so quickly, our sense is the president had been asking around, talking to his top officials about just how intense this firestorm was. The fact that this relates to a 2008 plea deal, which of course has to do with Jeffrey Epstein, who pleaded not guilty to those sex trafficking charges. But the allegation is so significant, so serious and of course invol
