Irans Supreme Leader, ayatollah khamenei, has defended his Countrys Missile Attack on israel earlier this week as a minimum punishment in a rare public speech, as He Led Friday Prayers in tehran for the first time in five years.

it is almost independence day, give this thought. we keep asking politicians to get things done, get gas cheaper, who will pay my student loan. i was looking at the jfk inauguration speech, you remember the one. ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country. a great line, right? and a gutsy line for a politician. think about it, his first day, he says, my fellow americans, don t look at me, you want something done, do it yourself. that is refreshing and that is what i want to hear more of from now on when i look at candidates, i only have one thing on my wish list. give me one thing and the other things fall into place. give me freedom. it s sad we have to say that, isn t it? it is supposed to be a given. remember the constitution, the first amendment is about freedom, there is a reason founding fathers put it first, thanks old white guys. yeah, yeah.

rachel: welcome to a special edition of jesse watters primetime. i m rachel campos-duffy and i am in for jesse. biden s cabinet met with the mexican president today. the meeting was close-82 the press and biden team didn t talk to reporters or hold a press conference. but we know the mexican president wants our president to send even more money to mexico and other latin american countries, to fund the government s that keep sending illegal migrants to america. nobody in that meeting wanted to secure the border. there is too much in it for everyone involved. this is more cynical and sinister than you can imagine. while the idea is to make you think joe biden is doing something about the flood of migrants coming to america, the meetings are actually about how they can facilitate the flow more efficiently. during the meeting, the mexican president actually said he wants america to reopen border crossings. this is not a prevention mission, it s a coordination and funding miss

threatening our safety. china, our border, major problems that need to be addressed now. the first step in fixing a problem is admitting you have a problem in the first place and the biden administration can t seem to do it. how would you describe fentanyl problem in america. it s a horrible epidemic unleashed on purpose by the sinaloa and gent jalisco cartel. brian: they smuggle it in over our border. but where do northeast they geto they get it from? garland left out of his test moan which, china. it s hard to find anyone in the administration to find anyone willing to attack the problem at its core. fentanyl is targeting our children, our next generation. 2/3 of overdose deaths in our nation come from fentanyl and in young children deaths are rising faster than any other group. does that s concern you? it should. it should never make its way from the hands of our youth in the first place. and city would be great if they never took a drug that s not prescribed by a doct
