i usually like to say to you happy friday. happy friday eve. getting us started. russian missiles are blowing the top off an apartment city liviv. officials call it a heaviest attack yet. that city is near poland. more than 300 miles from the front lines in eastern and southern ukraine. dana: both sounds vowing to respond to this escalating violence as ukraine admits russia has been successful in slowing down its counter offensive. bill: a big story overseas. administration has gone back to china again. janet yellen arrived there a short time ago facing a high-stake test to calm tensions between the world s two largest economies as the u.s. and china have a tech war. mike pompeo on deck on this. first to jeff paul with the latest on ukraine. we re following two big stories involving russia. the first being that attack in ukraine but let s get to the possible new whereabouts of russian mercenary leader. he is in russia. originally set to go to belarus as part of a deal
i m katy tur. the midterms did not go so well, for the gop, instead of a red wave, it was a trickle, one that could look more like a single drip if the pressure on george santos wins out. stay tuned on him for a moment. why did republicans don t so poorly? candidate quality was surely in play. denying the election was not exactly a winning strategy. and showing some controversy fatigue. all of the trump daum weighed the party down. but one of the biggest reasons republicans massively underperformed was arguably abortion. the overturning of roe v. wade, a gop dream for decades, was more of a nightmare for the general election. the party paid the price. instead of backing away from what was proven to be a wildly unpopular position, house republicans are running right toward it. today, the first two votes, speaker kevin mccarthy will bring to the floor will be on abortion. the first, protecting so-called pregnancy centers, and the second, protecting babies born alive after late
good morning. and welcome to way too early. on this monday, august 1st. i m jonathan lemire. thanks for being with us. we begin with the situation in ukraine. in a significant breakthrough this morning, a ship carrying ukrainian grain set off from the port of odesa to for the first time since the war started back in february. ukraine s minister of infrastructure tweeted this video of the vessel which is carrying more than 26,000 tons of corn and is on its way to lebanon. the ship is expected to reach istanbul on tuesday where it will be inspected before being allowed to proceed. the move is part of an internationally brokered deal between kyiv and moscow, to release millions of tons of grain to foreign markets, and ease a growing food crisis. ukrainian officials say 16 more ships are waiting to depart odesa s port as part of that deal. meanwhile, russia advances have slowed, almost to a standstill, as newly-delivered western weapons are helping ukrainian forces re-claim
fundraising operation, he died in 1976 but that statue still stands in arkansas today. but he is about to have another moment in the public eye. because what he really wanted to be remembered for, even more than that statue, was a nationwide movement that he tried to build. a movement that he named. and that he led. and that he promoted tirelessly. and that he wanted to outlive him. the motive behind the term christian nationalist is easy to define and simple to interpret. we believe that the destiny of america in relationship to its governing authority must be kept in the hands of our own people. we must never be governed by anyone. we must keep control of our own money and our own blood. in other words, we must remain true to the declaration of independence. that is nationalism. we believe that the spiritual symbol of our statesmanship is the cross, which indeed is the symbol of christianity. we believe that the inspiring dynamic out of which america grew is christianity.
and cogen analysis it s the honesty like a clogged men s room toilet at a time square burger king. we are brimming with it. for example, just now i said happy wednesday and, true, it s wednesday. fox and friends would have said something like, thursday. stupid liars. but that s not just an isolated instance of honesty. it permeates this show like powdered sugar in brian stelter s chest hair. keep telling him to shave. for example, this was a slow news day. so slow i was like the only one in this building. wait until jesse sees what i did to his suits. hi no idea polyester was that flammable. now i could have done a mono on inflation or joe biden but really not again. it s so boring. thankfully a producer offered this headline. quote, transgender x neo-nazi robber to receive fast track gender confirmation surgeries. wow. i m so glad he s an ex neo-nazi. but talk about a perfect storm of gutfeldian content. trans, nazi, gender surgery, prison. it sounds like a hogan s heroes af
