Im a child of the 80s, regan republic. I understand maintaining peace through strength. That is a guiding principle. A big part of our party and worldview. Here is an opportunity to make that stand at a critical time in world history. With that bipartisan win, johnson was effective liable to silence those same far right members threatening to move him from the speakership. Speaker johnson yesterday addressed a group of protesters at Columbia University who hack lettered him as he attempted to speak to the press. Take a listen. A Growing Number of students have chanted in support of terrorists. They have suchased down jewish students. They have mocked them and reviled them. They have screamed leat those w bear the star of david. Enjoy your free speech. We will do idwhat is right by america. We respect free speech. We resp
Good day, everyone. Im Andrea Mitchell in new york along with my colleague and friend, Chris Jansing, as history is being made in that Lower Manhattan courtroom. Donald trump is the first former president of the United States to stand as a defendant in a criminal trial. At any moment, could be facing the first witness to testify against him. Thats expected to be former National Enquirer publisher, david pecker. Hes likely to be pressed about alleged efforts to bury damaging stories about donald trump during the 2016 election. Earlier this morning, prosecutors gave their open statement, accusing mr. Trump of a criminal conspiracy to hide embarrassing relationships by preventing them from getting into the press, thus influencing the outcome of the 2016 election then covering it all up. The defense followed saying that mr. Trump did not commit any crimes, describing him as not just the republican nominee, but as the frugal business man, also a husband and a father. Defense lawyer todd bla

It be a police officer, a School Security officer or a civilian who is carrying a concealed weapon, the shooter engages, shoots back and forth or commits suicide. Either way, the shooting of innocents stops. Its upsetting to read these documents knowing what actually happened that day. And it shows a failure byea Broward County Sheriffs Department either to properly train its officers or, in the case of maybe the current officer the officer who had to resign in disgrace, obviously he ignored the training if indeed he followed it. Tucker so this wasnt some hidden thing. This wasnt esoteric. This was in the training manual. I think thats relevant because sheriff israel in the days after the shooting went to the cnn guncontrol rally and sat on s the stage and blamed armed citizens, blamed the middle of the country basically for what happened and never mentioned the failures of his deputy, but he mustve known that this was the protocol. Wouldnt he have known that . Thats right. And you kno
Minds that he did this. They presented it as both as a serious case and an open and shut case. I say that, the Platonic Ideal of every argument. The Defense Side was much more baroque, a digression from Todd Blanche about how youll hear us describe him as president trump. That was a title he earned. He was running the country. He kept going back to things like that. After the judge instructed the jurors that the defense does not have to prove the innocence of donald trump, they just need to make sure the prosecution doesnt prove without a reasonable doubt that he did it, blanche, in fact, advanced a whole counterfactual. Those invoices from Michael Cohen were really about a legal retainer for his legal services, and there was no sexual
