We are going to watch this whole speech and will be on the other end of it and youll get everybodys take on what he says. Jesse, initial thoughts . Jesse i look back and i notice a few months ago, he said he was against mandates. Psaki said he was against mandates. That was the White House policy. Now they are announcing mandates. I recall july he announced independence from the virus. Months later he is saying we need to defeat the virus. I have a new plan. The americans dont trust this guy anymore. He booted afghanistan. Youve got to look through everything he does to the prism of afghanistan. It doesnt add up. You have 75 of adults in
A new fire explodes east of the California Capital and triples in size in a single day. Welcome to the lead. Im jake tapper. We start with Breaking News in our world lead. Moments ago we heard from the u. S. Secretary of defense and the chairman of the Joint Chiefs Of Staff for the first time since afghanistan fell to the taliban. General Mark Milley pledging to get all americans and afghan allies safely out of that country and defending the intelligence behind the troop withdrawal, saying absolutely nothing indicated to the pentagon that the afghan Government And Army would collapse in only 11 days.

Reporter newly released footage somehow an upclose look at what officers went through during the January 6th attack. These new videos revealed after Cnn And Other Media outlets sued for them in court, showing scott fairland, a Gym Owner from new jersey, taunting, then shoving an officer, and punching him in the face.

Both men have pleaded not guilty to all charges. Its a Rude Awakening for everyone, but hopefully it will also help people see the lies of the former president.
