I’ve only been able to keep up with all the events this week by capturing and posting clips through @Snapstream. If your organization needs to keep up with and respond to the news cycle, you can learn more here: go.snapstream.com/moments/ac…
Watters: You can’t end the war because the war is already over. How are Democrats going to do that?
Ford: Is the strait open? Are people paying lower gas prices?
Watters: No.
Watters: You can’t retake Congress and repeal tariffs.
Ford: We will.
Watters: These are executive tariffs.
Ford: We have three branches of government.
Watters: It doesn’t work that way.
Ford: Ask the Supreme Court.
Ford: If gasoline prices, diesel and food prices were low, Republicans would be ahead. The fact that those prices are high, that's why Democrats are going to do well in November.
Heinrich: Except for Hasan Piker.
Ford: He’s not running
Heinrich: But they got a Piker problem.
Watters: Listen, am I excited about Susan Collins? Am I fired up about Rogers and Ken Paxton? Probably not, but the other side, a bunch of freaks. Maybe our side isn't getting you very aroused but their side will kill the country
Watters: I want to see the Democrats take back the House because I want to see Hegseth in front of the House Oversight Committee—I want to see Miller up there, Don Jr. up there.. just giving it to these guys. We need something to cover. Do you think these guys will take the fifth like Fauci? I hope not.
Watters: They wanted to take a picture. I said, “Hegseth, can you hold my drink because I don’t want a drink in a picture?” He says, “I can’t be seen holding a drink.”
Watters: I stayed at the same hotel as Tim Cook, the guy at Apple. I see him and go, “Congratulations on all your success,” and he shakes my hand and goes, “You, too, Tucker.”
Sen. Gillibrand to @MacFarlaneNews on reported suicide attempts aboard the USS Abraham Lincoln: We just received a letter back and it said there had been eight attempted suicides. One person they had to fish out of the water and thank God saved his life. Another was about to jump, but his colleague stopped him.
Eight attempted suicides in a relatively short period of time is fairly alarming.
Iran is publicly pouring cold water on reports of a major negotiating breakthrough with the U.S.
A top adviser to Iran’s supreme leader says its conditions are not changing, must be implemented “all at once,” and the U.S. has been given only four or five days before Iran determines its next move.
Clarke: There is still more work to be done. There are still hard questions that need to be asked. There are still witnesses who need to be pressed to help this family get the answers they deserve. I spent a lot of time with Nolan Wells’s mother and father, and they are grieving. Nobody has been able to put forth anything that can explain why their son is not here today. There needs to be more focus on the blunt force trauma to the back of Nolan Wells’s head.
Popok: I want to make this clear. If it wasn’t for the Democratic attorneys general, led by you in this case, none of what we’ve been talking about would have occurred.
Bonta: That’s right. The Trump administration has been MIA when it comes to antitrust enforcement.
Brandon Herrera:
“I'm of the opinion COVID wasn't bad enough because if you had something that just unfairly targeted fucking fat people, I'm here for it.
I would have worn my mask nowhere on purpose.”
