Including this doozie that people in italy had used Military Technology and satellites, not making this up, to remotely tamper with Voting Machines in the United States and switch votes for trump to votes for biden. That is a lie. Yes indeed. The president is also said to be clinging to the bogus audit of ballots in maricopa, arizona and whether it can be duplicated in other states and magically change the outcome of the election. Spoiler alert it will not. As trump resides in the state of delusion, growing desperate for attention, hes just learned that he wont be allowed back on facebook for at least the next two years. His blog that was first touted as a major social Platform Couldnt even come close to filling the void. It was shut down after just 29 days. That is The Man republicans welcome back to the stage, a man who incited a mob, lost the White House, and end of Social Media and joining me now senior white House Correspondent John Harwood and april ryan. John, trump has been given a Stage And Microphone by republicans who cant recognize for what he really is. He is a loser. When you couple this with the New York Times report that Mark Meadows wanted the doj to investigate all these outlandish claims about italian satellites it just seems like there is no bottom. You think trump is going away, his crew would go away, but were hearing more and more of this crazy stuff almost every day. We are and there is a reason for that. At its core it is not about Donald Trump. Donald trump is a symptom not the cause of a disease thats been spreading within the republican party for a long time. At its root is a segment of the white population in this country that is terrified that the country is moving away from them. Demographically, economically, culturally. The country is becoming less white, less christian, requiring higher education to get ahead. A lot of the blue collar, white republicans rallied to Donald Trump because he told them he could turn back the clock. Of course he cant. Nevertheless he captured that feeling within them, that desire and theyre riding it to incredible extremes as we saw through his presidency and now in his post presidency. April, i want to talk about what Mike Spence had to say the other night about all of this. It was very pencian if that is the term. Lets watch. You know, President Trump and i have spoken many times. Since we left office. I dont know if well ever see Eye To eye on that day. But i will always be proud of what we accomplished for the american people over the last four years. [ applause ] well never see Eye To eye on an insurrection. Its pencian, as you said. It befuddles me. You almost died that day. The trump followers, the insurrectionists, the 40,000 who converged on capitol hill, erected a gallows with a noose saying, hang Mike Pence because the president was what . Upset with him. We might not see Eye To eye. Here is a video of him being evacuated. He didnt run but he and his Wife And Family were escorted to safety. Other republicans which we forget and republicans want to rewrite history, revisionist history, they were also escorted out by Capitol Police and those who were plain clothed to help them get to safety. Thats what people forget. What this is in my opinion is a deadly codependence on President Trump and those who follow him, because in a way he has to say this so he can stay alive, literally, and stay alive politically. Because if you are against Donald Trump, what happens to you . Weve seen people go against Donald Trump and then come back and bow for his forgiveness literally. Can we say Mitch Mcconnell . And others. So at the end of the day Mike Pence is trying to stay alive and be relevant in the party. He is a young man. The question is what does he want to do in the future . Also lets see what Donald Trump says tonight about Mike Pence. You know, when you grovel to Donald Trump, and he knows hes got you, you are begging for that loyalty, he kicks you in the teeth. I mean, he kicks you he doesnt respect that. He kicks you when youre down and he does not give a hand to lift you up. Hes not listening to Mike Pence. He is listening to people at oan, Mike Lindell. Here is a sample of who Donald Trump has been listening to. Were in a race against time everyone. We need the election pulled down. We need our great president Donald Trump back in and thats coming. Its becoming glaringly apparent that Donald Trump absolutely crushed Joe Biden in the election. The american people resoundingly choose donald j. Trump and democrats are trying to steal it. Half of the nation believes this election was stolen from Donald Trump and i agree with that. Thats a fact. I believe he won and were going to prove it. No wonder Donald Trump believes some of this stuff. Its impossible to disentangle the Selfinterest And Delusion that is Donald Trump. Donald trump does absolutely nothing that is not, he does not think is going to help him. He does not care at all about the republican party. And he is beginning this phase of rallies not coincidentally at a time when his Principal Preoccupation is staying out of jail. He has serious Criminal Investigations in New York. He would like to depict those as political prosecutions. Somehow rallying republicans around the country. And youve got all these Hangers On who are half of them are kooks and the ones who are not are simply trying to extract money from people who are gullible and trying to advance themselves politically. That includes elected officials. That includes some of the operatives who were trying to get money out of him. And people like Mike Lindell who are nuts. April, on friday speaking of nuts, facebook announced that trump would be banned for another two years because what he has to say, the content he puts on facebook is too dangerous. Heres what trump had to say in response. Next time im in the White House there will be no more dinners at his request with Mark Zuckerberg and his wife. It will be all business. Obviously were supposed to read that as some sort of tease from trump that he is going to run in 2024. What do you think about all that . You know, you have a lot of corporations whether they like the president or not, they want to be in that space, that lofty perch that No One really gets into unless you have a golden halo over your head. Im not surprised zuckerberg and his wife met with President Trump. But what i am surprised at and it continues to surprise me is the fact that facebook gave the president the benefit of the doubt. Theyve seen what happened january 6th. You know, many of us here at this Table Saw Threats before. The threats became reality on january 6th. Police officers were injured. People were hurt. People died. People ran for their lives. The Vice President of the United States as you showed a picture, he was running for his life with his family. And, yet, he is off for two years. Let it be someone else. Theyd be banned for life. This has to be something that we look at, because facebook is actually setting a precedent by giving him a chance to redeem himself. There is no redemption for someone who spews this kind of hate and continues to spew this kind of hate because he wants to turn back the clock. What time . Please tell me. And, also, deal with the forgotten man. The white male who did not feel like he was under the umbrella of barack obama. John harwood, youve both fwifrn us a lot to think about. Great to have you on set. Wonderful to be here. Thanks so much. A federal judge has overturned californias decades old ban on Assault Weapons calling it a failed experiment and prompting a swift outcry. Californias governor calls the Judges Decision a direct threat to public safety and disgusting slap in the face. Judge Ron Benitez ruled the States Assault Weapons Ban violates the second Amendment Right to bear arms writing in part, like the swiss Army Knife the popular Ar15 Rifle is a perfect combination of Home Defense and Homeland Defense Equipment if you can believe that. The father of a teen who was killed in the Mass Shooting at Stoneman Douglas High School back in 2018 reacted to the Judges Comparison this morning on cnn. My daughters in a cemetery because a swiss Army Knife was not used. Because it was an ar15. My daughter was on the third floor. If a swiss Army Knife were used, my daughter and most of those other kids and adults would be alive today. And now they say its common. Its typical. No, youre full of crap, judge. And you are going to lose. I want to bring in cnns polo sandoval. Condemnation of the Judges Decision was immediate, this comparison between the swiss Army Knife and the Ar15 Rifle. That is just stunning. What happens next . It certainly led to outrage. What the state of california plans to do is appeal the decision to try to make sure that law can continue to stay on the books as it has for over 30 years now. Just for our viewers on how the law came to be back in 1989 it was created in response to a shooting at an Elementary School in stockton, california that left five children all under the age of 10 dead. Lawmakers in california quickly putting this law together and then of course passing it. What it did was it was touted as californias first Assault Weapons act. It defined what an Assault Weapon was and also made it illegal to have and possess these. It continued to stay in place up until this decision handed down by Roger Benitez out of san diego, a federal judge, that ruled the law was unconstitutional and impeded the second Amendment Rights of california residents actually having these kinds of weapons widely available through the rest of the country. In terms of the Guns Lobby groups including second Amendment Group which makes up part of the legal action that led to this said they are, quote, delighted with this outcome. Certainly not how multiple groups are responding in terms of those that have been advocating for stricter Gun Laws including those who have actually lost Loved Ones. First, though, you mentioned the Governors Response in california. I want to read you more of what Governor Gavin Newsom has said about the latest ruling, saying that overturning californias Assault Weapon ban and comparing the ar 15 to a swiss Army Knife is a disgusting slap in the face to those who have lost Loved Ones to gun violence. This is a direct threat to public safety and innocent californians. We wont stand for it. Now, his Attorney General did say they plan on appealing this. When you hear the reaction as weve been hearing all Day Today from those who have actually lost Loved Ones to violence, they are not only frustrated and angry but theyre also concerned that if this law is no longer in the books, jim, then you could see more of these kinds of Assault Weapon kind of or Assault Rifle Style weapons in the hands of people with bad intentions and that could result in more lives lost. Certainly sounds like that could be the case. Polo sandoval, thank you so much for that. Coming up, frightening moments on a Delta Flight when a passenger tries to breach the cockpit. What other people onboard the flight are saying. Plus the Fbi Director gives an urgent warning about recent Ransomware Attacks and says higher prices a the pump or for a burger are proof you should care.

At chevron, were taking action. Tying our executives pay to lowering the carbon Emissions Intensity of our operations. Its tempting to see how far weve come. But its only human. To know how far we have to go. Terrifying moments on a delta Airlines Flight this week when a passenger on the Los Angeles to Nashville Flight tried to breach the cockpit friday, forcing the plane to make an Emergency Landing in albuquerque, new mexico. How did all of this play out . This is scary. Reporter it was very frightening for the passengers onboard, jim. I talked to one of them who actually took the video that youre showing. She said that about an hour into the flight after takeoff from Los Angeles she saw this man in first place get up and start yelling, stop the plane. Stop the plane. She said this went on for about 30 seconds and he was banging on the cockpit door, a very frightening moment just after she said Drink Service had been concluded. Thats when a second passenger from the section behind first class got up, tapped a second person, and two men came forward to tackle this guy to the ground. Really heroic actions from fellow passengers in those brief seconds before the Flight Crew also joined in to assist. What youre seeing is this man barefoot there being dragged through the plane eventually with his hands and ankles tied when they landed in albuquerque The Man was taken into federal custody. And this passenger i spoke to also took video of Law Enforcement coming onboard. So a very, two to three minutes she said that felt very long. Here is how she described the situation. It was actually a very unifying moment because we kind of realized no matter what uniform youre wearing at the end of the Day Everybody is here for the safety of everyone else on board. In that moment there was a lot of cheers and clapping. You know, i do pray for that gentleman. I hope that he gets the help that he needs. Reporter she did say to me she thought his yelling was quite unprovoked, that perhaps he was getting a little bit unruly and the Flight Attendants were keeping an eye on him but that there really wasnt any one thing that sparked him beginning to say these things. You can actually still hear him saying stop the plane. Stop the plane as he is being dragged away. So a very frightening moment. She said the two, three minutes felt like years. And that it was very anxious especially for the passengers toward the back of the plane who could not see as clearly as she could what was going on because your mind at that point starts running with all sorts of possibilities in that situation. This is just one of several recent incidents with very unruly passengers. One passenger, late last month, on a Southwest Flight actually assaulted a Flight Attendant and took out two of her teeth. To the point where southwest, you know, had to suspend Serving Alcohol in flight. So a lot that these Flight Crews are dealing with these days. The faa has extended its zero tolerance policy, which basically makes stronger Enforcement Mechanisms for this type of unruly behavior. The faa is saying as of late may that they had gotten more than 2500 reports of unruly behavior by passengers sometimes having to find passengers like that up to 5 fine passengers like that up to 52,000, jim. People are just out of control on these flights. These recent incidents keep piling up and this might be the scariest one yet. Natasha chen, thanks so much. A sobering assessment from Fbi Director Christopher Wray who says cyber threats against the u. S. Have grown so much its like dealing with terrorism after 9 11. Recent Ransomware Attacks have targeted several key economic sectors including this Weeks Attack on jbs The Worlds largest meat supplier. And last months colonial Pipeline Attack which sent Gas Prices soaring across the u. S. Most of the attacks appear to have come from inside Russia And President biden is expected to address it with Vladimir Putin at their summit later this month. It does beg the question what is Joe Biden going to do about this and what does russia have to say about the attacks . People are going to be listening to see what putin has to say. Reporter well, weve got a bit of a Curtain Raiser for that because just yesterday Vladimir Putin the russian president gave his sort of response to the Allegations Russia was in some way implicated in the Ransomware Attacks on the Meat Packing Company and he didnt use very diplomatic language. He said, this is nonsense. Its ridiculous. Its just hilarious is one of the phrases he used. He was speaking at the st. Petersburg international economic forum where hes on a Panel Discussion and he was asked about this. But of course u. S. Officials just mentioned are suggesting that these criminal gangs, cyber gangs that have carried out these Ransomware Attacks Hold On carried out the Ransomware Attacks are actually based in some part in russia. Take a listen to what Vladimir Putin had to say. Translator its just ridiculous to blame russia for this. I think that the relevant u. S. Services should find out who the scammers are, not russia for sure. For us, to extort money from some company, we are not dealing with some Chicken Meat or beef. Its just hilarious. Reporter just hilarious the words of Vladimir Putin the russian president. When they do meet in under two weeks from now in geneva, switzerland it looks like Joe Biden if that Putin Comment is anything to go by is not going to be getting straight answers on this issue of cyber Warfare And Ransom attacks from the russian president. Well see. That will be an interesting meeting. Everybody will be watching to see what President Biden has to say to Vladimir Putin. Thank you so much.

Com for your chance to win major new developments in The Manhattan das investigation into Donald Trump and the Trump Organization. A top Finance Executive at Trumps Family Business reportedly has testified before a Grand Jury. The New York Times reporting that the Manhattan District Attorneys Office subpoenaed Jeffrey Mcconey the long time Trump Organization controller and according to the times worked for the company for nearly 35 years and subpoenaing him signals a new phase in the investigation. Lets discuss this and more on our weekly cross exam segment. One viewer wants to know is there any way to tell how close the Manhattan District attorney is to potentially seeking indictments related to the Trump Organization . It seems like maybe theyre getting closer. Jim, were not going to be able to tell exactly where the da is at but all indications are they are making real progress. The big news as just said is this subpoena to the Trump Organizations long time controller. That is a financial executive within the country jeffrey mcconney. In new York State if a person gets put in the Grand Jury they get transactional immunity meaning they cannot be charged for those crimes. That tells Me The Da has decided either this guy is has done nothing wrong or theyre willing to give him a pass in order to use his information against other people. What they are trying to do is climb the ladder and go higher on the Org Chart and it appears theyre trying to use mcconney to get to weisselberg and then they will break into the Inner Circle of the Trump Organization. Important to keep in mind, prosecutors to bring a charge need to prove there was a fraud and that specific individuals had intent, knew about it, and participated in it. That is really hard to do unless you can flip someone like weisselberg who is in the inner, Inner Circle. And the Justice Department is investigating potential Obstruction Of Justice connected to the ongoing probe of Florida Congressman Matt gaetz and his alleged sexual relationship with a minor. Another viewer wants to know can Matt Gaetz be charged with Obstruction Of Justice just for reaching out to a witness during the pending investigation . Obstruction of justice can land you in the slammer. It sure can, jim. But, no. He cannot be prosecuted for Obstruction Justice merely for reaching out. You are allowed as a Defendant Or Target to try to figure out who is talking to prosecutors. However, there is a very fine Line Between reaching out and tampering. If Matt Gaetz or anybody else tried to suggest that a witness not talk to prosecutors or change any aspect of the story or no show for testimony, that would be witness tampering. That as you said is a very serious crime, Obstruction Of Justice. I have prosecuted it many times. There are examples of well known people who have been prosecuted for Obstruction Of Justice. Roger stone, martha stewart, scooter libby. These are real charges. It allows a prosecutor to argue what we call consciousness of guilt. You get to stand in front of a jury and say why does somebody obstruct justice . Because they are trying to hide something. That can be a really powerful argument in favor of a persons guilt. If Matt Gaetz has obstructed justice he made a big mistake. Well see when the facts come out. Following a twoyear Court Fight trumps former white House Counsel Don Mcgahn has been back in the news and testified friday Behind Closed Doors before the House Judiciary Committee about trumps attempts to obstruct the Russia Investigation and another viewer wants to know now that Don Mcgahn has testified how can congress or others make use of this testimony . Is this going to go anywhere . It is crazy that it has taken over two years. A lot of people are to blame for that. Mcgahn of course is a key witness on obstruction in the mueller report, told by Donald Trump to Fire Robert Mueller and then Donald Trump asked mcgahn to lie about it and create a false document. That is the most flagrant incident of obstruction in the whole report. This has been the subject of an ongoing Court Battle up and down with the court of appeals. Congress to be realistic here theyre not going to do anything with this, certainly not impeach Donald Trump a third time. Now the question is Will Doj Act . These are crimes that doj still has the ability to charge. They can charge Obstruction Of Justice. Its a federal crime still within the statute of limitations. What Wilmeric Garland do . What will doj do . Thus far no public indication of having any interest in this but i think it is a real mistake. There needs to be Accountability And Doj is really the only one who can do it. Elie honig, thanks so much. An olympic sized crisis volunteers quitting in droves ahead of the Tokyo Summer games as covid cases explode in japan. Shell want a plan to reach them.

With just seven weeks to go pressure to cancel the Olympic Games is mounting. Tokyo is in a State Of Emergency as Covid Spreads and 10,000 olympic volunteers have already quit. Earlier this week the australian Softball Team became the first athletes to arrive in japan the New York Times reporting they are confined to three floors of a hotel, eat in their own dining room, and are not allowed to visit local bars or restaurants. They were given a Hotel Room outfitted with a nintendo switch. Its not all bad i guess. Joining me now cnns Sports Analyst and columnist for usa today. Great to see you. Does all of this make it harder on the athletes . Or is it better because theyll have zero distractions from the outside world . Certainly that is a piece of it obviously. No one is rooting to have the olympics during covid. Its as you know but i think what theyre hoping for and grateful for olympic athletes ive talked to from around The World is that they have a chance. The games were postponed last march. And there was this hope that by that point The World would be ready for this outpouring, this gathering of Joy And Happiness and it would be really a signal, Touch Tone Moment that The World had overcome covid. Unfortunately that is not the Story Line for the tokyo olympics. As you said, there are real questions with seven weeks to go. Right now all systems are go and the games are on and athletes are preparing but it is a tough Slogan Something No One anticipated when they postponed the games back in march of 2020. We definitely want the games to be safe. It would be such a shame if it didnt happen. Let me ask you about a big headline out of the Tennis World this week. A lot of people have been talking about this. The number two player in the World Naomi osaka said she had no option other than to drop out of the French Open because of these mandatory News Conferences that she feared would trigger her anxiety and depression. Was there nothing that they could have done for her . I didnt realize these News Conferences were mandated. We dont have that problem here in washington. Exactly. The players actually want to do them because as James Lake said on cnn a few days ago former Tennis Player himself he said we need to do them because to promote the sport. That has been the case for years. They want to talk and promote the sport especially with Tv Ratings sliding and slipping and every sport is trying to keep its foothold in a very packed Sports Landscape but Naomi Osaka, we all hope she gets help and takes care of herself. And when she is ready she can come back to tennis. She is an incredible role model, 23, already won four Grand Slam titles and a terrific Career And Someone who is so important obviously not just in sports but social activism and throughout our culture. It also shows how tough this is. So much so soon. And the pressure she is undergoing. She led us to a national and international conversation that i think once again sports takes us there, can be the lowest common denominator of people who otherwise might not talk about this now having a conversation and hopefully not only help herself but help others especially kids who look up to her as a role model. Hopefully something positive can come out of this. Michael phelps the most decorated olympian of all time is offering his support because he himself has suffered Mental Health issues. When i first read it i was so happy. Because she is showing her vulnerability and doing it her own way. I think back to the struggles i went through when i was competing and i dont know if i would have been able to take my own words and put them on a platform for everybody to see. She is putting herself out there and i feel this could be an even bigger breakthrough for the Mental Health world. Of. Do you think this could lead to some real changes when it comes to the Sports World . We dont really talk about this enough the Mental Health of our professional athletes. Not at all. Michael makes a great point. I covered him from the olympics onward and we didnt know obviously he had some issues as well as incredible performances. This was a young person who was growing up in front of us in The Public Eye and so is Naomi Osaka. The difference is naomi is still at the top of her game. One thought i had is perhaps there could be a medical exemption for those athletes who want to skip a Press Conference or other duties. They all have contractual obligations. Maybe there is a way for that to happen even though obviously the athletes want to and are contractually obliged to talk to the media to promote their sport. Lets hope some you can get maybe some kind of psychological expert on the tours, as someone suggested, and have them there to help if they need it. This is a conversation that we have to have and Naomi Osaka to her great credit is taking us to that conversation. I want to talk to you about the Belmont Stakes and Horse Racing as somebody who wont be there today is legendary trainer, perhaps infamous trainer bob baffert. Whose horse the Kentucky Derby Winner Medina Spirit failed a second Drug Test for a banned steroid. What is next in this saga . He was complaining about cancel culture. But you cant cheat. There are consequences. Baffert has handled himself horribly during this whole thing. He has brought disrespect on to himself and his sport and Horse Racing is already struggling. It is certainly not a sport that many people are interested in. Frankly i think in 20 or 30 years when we look back and see Horse Racing is a shell of itself now i think well look back to this spring of 2021 as a time it took such a hit and is all selfinduced. Baffert was the dog ate my homework. The horse obviously there are two tests. He failed both of them. That is steroids, thats cheating. Baffert was cheating. He is now at least allegedly banned from the Kentucky Derby and the Churchill Downs for two years while the Belmont Stakes goes on today and i dont even know that many people discussing this so that shows the damage that has been done to the reputation. Youve got baffert, who is also banned from racing At Belmont and of course the horse will not be there today. It is a really dark time in what used to be a very popular sport. Absolutely. We dont talk enough about the welfare of these animals put through so much in that sport. Thanks so much. Great seeing you again as always. Good luck covering the olympics. Well be watching for you.

The White House just announced 31 Million people now have coverage through the affordable care act, also known as obamacare. President biden marked the milestone with a special guest in a video posted on twitter. Mr. President. Hey, mr. President. How you doing, pal . Im doing good, man. How you doing . Joe biden, we did this together. We always talked about how, if we could get the principle of universal coverage established, we could then build on it. And i just want to say how proud i am of what youve done, now, with the american rescue plan. You know, you and i have, both, had some some tragic, you know, illnesses in in our families. So you were so good, when beau was dying. I, literally, remember sitting on the bed with him, within a week or so of him passing away. And thinking, what, in gods name, would i do, if i got a notice from the Insurance Company saying you have outrun your coverage . The effort was worth it. President biden reopened the Obamacare Exchange earlier this year, an additional 1. 2 million people signed up. And for years, democratic senator, Joe Manchin, has run and won on the idea that his Party Affiliation doesnt define him. Here he is just days ago, telling Manu Raju hes not ready to abandon senate republicans to push a democratic agenda. I have always been to the point to where we have got to work together. You know, you can only do so much by yourself. And you cant make it worse work unless the minority has input. You Cant Disregard a person thats not in the majority. Uhhuh. The senate was never designed that way. His bipartisanship is perhaps his only reason why he has managed to remain in office, as the only democrat holding statewide office in a republicancontrolled state. But as political polarization deepens in america, his ability to play both sides may be coming back to haunt him. Cnns Dan America joins us, now. Dan, great to see you. You traveled to West Virginia. Spoke with manchin voters. And i guess, voters of all stripes there in West Virginia. What did they tell you . You know, you talk to enough voters, you get a range of opinions. No one really agrees on everything. But what we did hear is there is a deep respect for manchin in West Virginia. They feel he is delivering for the state and they like the fact that, you know, he is focusing on bipartisanship. And in a way, sticking an Eye Finger in an eye of some national democrats by doing so. And not going along with the party. Of course, you know, West Virginia has gone through such a dramatic change, politically, from a Democratic Bastian to a rubyred republican state. But he has signalled hes not going to do that. The other thing that stuck out is just how different life in West Virginia is, than the one that manchin grew up in. You know, he grew up in farmington, West Virginia, a tiny town in marion county. Its this idyllic life where he worked at his Grandparents Grocery Store and he really was like a high school hero. High School Football Star in the town. And we were in farmington. That has really changed. That life doesnt exist and even though manchin draws a Line Between, you know, his upbringing to his views on bipartisanship. That is gone, and there is a lot of skepticism among democrats, of whether bipartisanship is even possible at a time like this. Take a listen to what some of the voters we spoke to said to us. He is acting upon what he believes his constituents want. And so, i know, a lot of national democrats may be upset with him. That he works across Party Lines but thats what we should be doing in politics. One minute, he goes with the democrats. One minute, he goes with the republicans. Its pick a side and go with it. Sometimes, in bills, there are some things that arent as pleasing to peoples beliefs in our community. But if theres more good in it than there is bad, then joe always said we can work on the bad. Jim, you know this well. Say what you will about Joe Manchin. He is a political survivor. There are a lot of people in West Virginia, who voted for Donald Trump in 2016. Voted for Donald Trump in 2020 but voted for Joe Manchin in 2018 and thats why he persists. Yeah, dan, i have often thought of Joe Manchin as sort of the president of West Virginia. But there are so many of his democratic colleagues here, in washington, who are getting impatient with this. They know it works for him, in West Virginia. But they wonder if his allegiance to the filibuster and so on is just getting in the way of a lot of important legislation here, in d. C. All right. Dan america, great to see you gra great report, thanks so much. And as a result of the covid19 pandemic, some researchers estimate that Food Insecurity has tripled among u. S.

In just a few hours, former president Donald Trump, we should say, is set to take Center Stage at a gop convention. He will be physically in the state of North Carolina but meantly, in a state of denial. Increasingly, obsessed with his own 2020 election loss. A wellplaced source telling me he is a been asking if he could somehow be he reinstated in the White House, this year. Allies hoping he will move the ball forward, as republicans approach the midterm elections. Good luck to them as they are dealing with a man who incited an insurrection over his bruised ego. And today, we are getting even more information about just how far trump and his cronies were willing to push the big lie
