The Appeals Court hearing on Donald Trumps Immunity Hearing has wrapped up. The threejudge appellant panel facing this big question can the former president be held criminally responsible for actions that he took while in office to overturn the 2020 election loss. We heard a remarkable argument from trumps team who heard the argument that prosecuting a former president would open up a pandoras box as john sauer said that working in the capacity as alleged in the indictment by jack smith, the Special Counsels office pushing back on that. This notion that we are all of the sudden going to be seeing a floodgate, i think that, again, the careful investigations in the clinton era didnt result in any charges. The fact that this investigation did doesnt reflect that we are going to see a sea change of vindictive titfortat prosecutions in the future.

code that is washington, d.c., border security is a political issue. but if we leave the 202 area code, everywhere else in the country, this is not a political issue, it s a national security issue. and when you actually go to the border patrol council, those that see the chaos day-to-day, they re saying, send us some help. when you are handed the keys to the, you know, kingdom as it were, when you have the majority, there is an expectation that you will be able to govern. we have just struggled with that over and over again. it s a big leadership challenge that we need to find a solution for. honestly, i don t i don t care about basic governments. i actually think a little bit of turmoil, if you will, actually ends up being good for the american people at times. i mean, most of my voters would love to see this place shut down because they don t think it works for them. specifically, they want to see it shut down until the border is shut down. the republican-led cha
