Podcasts about house majority leader steve scalise

While the White House and Republicans spent the week touting the accomplishments of the President's first 100 days, many of the items in Trump's agenda have yet to be enacted. That's where the GOP-led Congress comes in. Congressional Republicans continue to work towards passing the "one big, beautiful bill" that includes many of the President's key priorities, including funding for border security, fossil fuel production, and the extension of the Trump tax cuts. Earlier this week, House Majority Leader Steve Scalise (R-LA) joined FOX News Rundown Host Dave Anthony to outline lawmakers' next steps, detail the key elements of the “big, beautiful bill," and explain why he believes its passage is critical for America's economic health. Rep. Scalise also discussed President Trump's first 100 days and addressed concerns about the administration's tariff strategies. We often must cut interviews short during the week, but we thought you might like to hear the full interview. Today on Fox News Rundown Extra, we will share our entire interview with House Majority Leader Steve Scalise and let you hear more about the GOP's agenda and how they hope to turn it into law.

Tommy talks with Congressman and House Majority Leader Steve Scalise about the Bourbon Street terror attack.

This new report is a devastating indictment of the behavior of social media executives, regulators, lawmakers, advertisers, and others who have failed to abide by this collective promise by allowing eating disorder and self-harm content to be pumped into the eyeballs of our children for profit. It represents a clear, unchallengeable case for immediate change. Nine out of ten teens in the United States use YouTube, a fifth of them “almost constantly.” It is used by far more young people than TikTok or Snapchat. At the same time, around the world, we are experiencing a crisis in mental health for young people. The number of children developing eating disorders has increased significantly in several countries, and there's evidence that social media is contributing to the problem. Between the years 2000 and 2018, the global prevalence of eating disorders doubled. In 2021, the US Centers for Disease Control found that 1 in 3 teen girls seriously considered attempting suicide, up 60% from the previous decade. YouTube has acknowledged the problem in the past and claims to try to avoid contributing to it, but our research shows they have fallen far short. CCDH put it to the test: we examined the recommendations that a teen girl would receive when watching an eating disorder video for the first time. All that YouTube knew about our test accounts was that this was the account of a 13-year-old girl with no prior viewing history. Its algorithm would determine what this girl would see across 1,000 tests. What we found will chill you to the bone – and shows just how at risk all children who use these platforms are of deadly consequences. If a child approached a health professional, a teacher, or even a peer at school and asked about extreme dieting or expressed signs of clinical body dysmorphia, and their response was to recommend to them an ‘anorexia boot camp diet', you would never allow your child around them again. You'd warn everyone you know about their behavior. Well, that's precisely what YouTube did – pushed this user towards harmful, destructive, dangerous, self-harm-encouraging content. One in three recommendations this were for harmful eating disorder videos that could deepen an existing condition or anxieties about body image. Two in three were for eating disorder or weight loss content. And then, as if encouraging eating disorders weren't enough, YouTube sometimes pushed users to watch videos about self-harm or suicide.

House Majority Leader Steve Scalise is cautioning against overregulating the artificial intelligence industry, fearing it could hinder US growth and allow competitors like China to take the lead. Scalise suggests a targeted approach to address specific problems, differing from Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer's proposal for comprehensive regulations and significant funding. The House's bipartisan AI task force is working on a report with policy recommendations, but its Republicans oppose the Senate's approach, making comprehensive legislation unlikely this year. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/tonyphoang/message

Last week, international leaders congregated in the historical region of Normandy, France, recognizing the monumental 80th observance of the D-Day assault, an event that marked major strides towards liberating Europe from the clutches of a totalitarian regime. In the midst of these key figures was US President Joe Biden. Unlike the heroic and respect-commanding veterans present at the ceremony, the President seemed to falter in maintaining decorum at the event. President Biden who is in his 80s, was seen making futile attempts to take a seat in an imaginary chair as he stood with his wife, First Lady Jill Biden, alongside his French equivalent; an incident adding to a list of rather embarrassing moments. In contrast to our elderly state leader, French President Emmanuel Macron was present at the event radiating youth and vigor while engaging with the esteemed veterans in attendance. Continuing the parade of oddities, President Biden was then quickly ushered away by the First Lady after delivering a brief address. All while President Macron, embodying leadership with a robust spirit, never missed an opportunity to interact and have pleasant conversations with the distinguished veterans. The event was not short of other noteworthy attendees. President Biden was in the company of a number of Legislative heads hailing from the United States, a list that included former Speaker Nancy Pelosi of California, House Majority Leader Steve Scalise of Louisiana, House Minority Leader Hakeem Jefferies of New York, Senator Ted Cruz of Texas, along with several others.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In an early Tuesday session, the Senate passed a $95-billion aid package for Ukraine, Israel, and Taiwan. Some Republican lawmakers are sounding the alarm, however. Sen. J.D. Vance (R-Ohio) sent a memo to his GOP colleagues saying the bill contains an “impeachment time bomb” directed at a potential Trump presidency. The House is expected to vote again on impeaching Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas. A similar vote failed last week, but Republicans believe they now have the necessary votes to get the effort over the finish line, with House Majority Leader Steve Scalise expected to return to Washington after receiving cancer treatment. Parts of the U.S. Northeast were hit by a snowstorm on Feb. 13 that canceled and delayed flights, made roads treacherous, and prompted many school districts to cancel classes or switch to remote learning. Highest snowfalls of 8 inches and possibly more in some locations are expected from the northern New York City suburbs to Connecticut, Rhode Island, and southeastern Massachusetts, according to the National Weather Service. ⭕️Watch in-depth videos based on Truth & Tradition at Epoch TV

The Rich Zeoli Show- Hour 4: On Sunday, leadership in the U.S. Senate released the details of a bipartisan bill designed to reduce illegal border crossings, send $60 billion in military assistance to Ukraine, and $14.1 billion in aid to Israel. The 370-page bill mandates a border shutdown if more than 5,000 migrants unlawfully enter the U.S. in a single day. However, the shutdown cannot exceed 270 days in the bill's first year, 225 in the second year, and 180 days in the third year. House Majority Leader Steve Scalise has said the proposed “Senate border bill will not receive a vote in the House.” Speaker of the House Mike Johnson has echoed a similar sentiment—and announced the House will instead vote on a standalone bill later this week that will provide $14.3 billion of aid to Israel. Annie Karni of The New York Times notes: “By Monday evening, [Senate Minority Leader Mitch] McConnell was privately acknowledging that the measure had hemorrhaged support among Republicans, and recommending they move to block it unless Democrats agreed to debate it further and allow them to propose changes.” You can read more here: https://www.nytimes.com/2024/02/05/us/politics/republicans-border-deal.html In a video posted to X, Tucker Carlson announced that he will be interviewing Russian President Vladimir Putin. The interview will be posted to X and will be free to watch. For the second consecutive year, President Joe Biden will not grant an interview to the television station broadcasting the Super Bowl. Traditionally, the president participates in an interview prior to kickoff which is viewed by millions of people across the country. Upon hearing the news, former President Donald Trump posted to Truth Social: “Crooked Joe Biden has just announced that he will not be doing the big Super Bowl Interview. A great decision, he can't put two sentences together. I WOULD BE HAPPY TO REPLACE HIM—would be ‘RATINGS GOLD!'” On Tuesday, President Joe Biden spoke from the White House imploring the U.S. Congress to pass a proposed border bill crafted by a bipartisan group of Senators—James Lankford (R-OK), Kyrsten Sinema (I-AZ), and Chris Murphy (D-CT). However, it seems increasingly unlikely that the bill has enough support to even pass in the Senate let alone the Republican-controlled House of Representatives. During his address, President Biden blamed Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump for sabotaging the legislation by denouncing it in the press and on social media. The House of Representatives' attempt to impeach Department of Homeland Security Alejandro Mayorkas has failed with a vote of 214-216. Four Republicans joined Democrats and voted “nay”— Mike Gallagher of Wisconsin, Ken Buck of Colorado, Blake Moore of Utah, and Tom McClintock of California.

The Rich Zeoli Show- Full Episode (02/06/2024): 3:05pm- In a 57-page opinion, a three-judge panel from the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit unanimously rejected Donald Trump's argument that presidential immunity legally shields him from criminal charges related to his challenging of the 2024 presidential election results. The judges wrote: "We cannot accept former President Trump's claim that a President has unbounded authority to commit crimes that would neutralize the most fundamental check on executive power—the recognition and implementation of election results. Nor can we sanction his apparent contention that the Executive has carte blanche to violate the rights of individual citizens to vote and to have their votes count." Trump has vowed to appeal the decision—which will mean the case will be heard by the full D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals or the U.S. Supreme Court. You can read the full text of the ruling here: https://www.msnbc.com/deadline-white-house/deadline-legal-blog/full-text-trump-immunity-ruling-appeals-court-rcna137482 3:15pm- Joe Barrett of The Wall Street Journal writes: “The mother of a Michigan teen who killed four students at his high school in 2021 was found guilty of four counts of involuntary manslaughter, the first time a parent of a school shooter has been convicted of homicide in connection with the attack. Jennifer Crumbley, whose son, Ethan, pleaded guilty to four counts of murder in the killings at Oxford High about 40 miles north of Detroit and is serving life in prison, lowered her head slightly but showed little other reaction as the verdict was read in an Oakland County courtroom.

The 370-page bill mandates a border shutdown if more than 5,000 migrants unlawfully enter the U.S. in a single day. However, the shutdown cannot exceed 270 days in the bill's first year, 225 in the second year, and 180 days in the third year. House Majority Leader Steve Scalise has said the proposed “Senate border bill will not receive a vote in the House.” Speaker of the House Mike Johnson has echoed a similar sentiment—and announced the House will instead vote on a standalone bill later this week that will provide $14.3 billion of aid to Israel.

Circuit unanimously rejected Donald Trump's argument that presidential immunity legally shields him from criminal charges related to his challenging of the 2024 presidential election results. The judges wrote: "We cannot accept former President Trump's claim that a President has unbounded authority to commit crimes that would neutralize the most fundamental check on executive power—the recognition and implementation of election results. Nor can we sanction his apparent contention that the Executive has carte blanche to violate the rights of individual citizens to vote and to have their votes count." Trump has vowed to appeal the decision—which will mean the case will be heard by the full D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals or the U.S. Supreme Court.

During his address, President Biden blamed Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump for sabotaging the legislation by denouncing it in the press and on social media. 5:05pm- In a bombshell report from Tim Golden of ProPublica: “Years before Andrés Manuel López Obrador was elected as Mexico's leader in 2018, U.S. drug-enforcement agents uncovered what they believed was substantial evidence that major cocaine traffickers had funneled some $2 million to his first presidential campaign. According to more than a dozen interviews with U.S. and Mexican officials and government documents reviewed by ProPublica, the money was provided to campaign aides in 2006 in return for a promise that a López Obrador administration would facilitate the traffickers' criminal operations.” You can read the full report here: https://www.propublica.org/article/mexico-amlo-lopez-obrador-campaign-drug-cartels 5:20pm- While appearing on Fox News with Bret Baier, Rep.

At first glance, Berlin's Cybrothel operates like a traditional escort business. Private suites can be booked for a few hours, or overnight, and clients choose their companion from a list of seductive names like Bimbo or Ms Schmidt. But the Berlin bordello's futuristic edge lies with its workers. At Cybrothel, patrons share company with life-size sex dolls instead of human sex workers. Bimbo, Kokeshi and Co can't move or speak, but clients interact with them in the virtual realm; donning VR headsets to watch immersive 4D porn featuring their favourite sex-bot.” You can read the full, ridiculous report here: https://nypost.com/2024/02/04/lifestyle/inside-cybrothel-the-worlds-first-ai-brothel-using-sex-dolls/ 5:05pm- Jim Tankerslay of The New York Times writes: “President Biden, whose approval rating has suffered amid high inflation, is beginning to pressure large grocery chains to slash food prices for American consumers, accusing the stores of reaping excess profits and ripping off shoppers. ‘There are still too many corporations in America ripping people off: price gouging, junk fees, greedflation, shrinkflation,' Mr. Biden said last week in South Carolina. Aides say those comments are a preview of more pressure to come against grocery chains and other companies that are maintaining higher-than-usual profit margins after a period of rapid price growth. Economic research suggests the cost of eggs, milk and other staples—which consumers buy far more frequently than big-ticket items like furniture or electronics—play an outsize role in shaping Americans' views of inflation. Those prices jumped more than 11 percent in 2022 and 5 percent last year, amid a postpandemic inflation surge that was the nation's fastest burst of price increases in four decades.” You can read the full article here: https://www.nytimes.com/2024/02/01/us/politics/biden-food-prices.html 5:20pm- During a speech over the weekend, President Joe Biden recounted a recent conversation he had with French President Francois Mitterrand.

Speaker Mike Johnson In recent days, a political shift has occurred. A new House has been elected following three arduous trials, with Mike Johnson coming to the forefront as a very strong conservative and a favorable choice among many. While Johnson might not be as recognized as Jim Jordan, his staunch conservative credentials are well approved. Interestingly, along with Mike Johnson, House Majority Leader Steve Scalise hails from Louisiana, making it an unexpected event to have the speaker and the majority leader from the same state. Still, the reality remains. The problems present in Washington, D.C. extend much deeper than the leadership of one caucus in one chamber. An overwhelmingly conservative leader doesn't necessarily equate to straightforward solutions, especially considering the liberal Democrats currently controlling the Senate and the White House. Analyzing the 2024 Election A common misconception surrounds the future 2024 election: the belief that it will be heavily influenced by the elected speaker of the House. This notion is far from the truth. Candidature and political stances will not be the determinant factor for voters. For instance, voting for Mike Johnson for Speaker won't necessarily sway voters from their preferences as a large scale of what matters lays in personal records and the work done in the district. Public opinion polls clearly show President Biden and Democrats being held accountable for the inflation problem, which will be the real focus on voters heading into next year's election. Kim Reynolds and Border Security In the realm of border security, Iowa Governor Kim Reynolds has shown a strong commitment to ensuring the safety and sovereignty of our nation. As border security remains a pressing issue for all Americans, Reynolds has actively engaged in efforts to support actions that strengthen border control and curb illegal immigration. Governor Reynolds recognizes the importance of securing our borders to address the concerns regarding national security, drug trafficking, and human trafficking. Through close collaboration with federal authorities and advocating for stronger border enforcement measures, she aims to protect the well-being of Iowans and all citizens across the United States. Public Libraries John Hendrickson is not only one of Iowa's leading conservative voices, he is also a former public library board member and remains a strong advocate for public libraries. He believes that libraries are still highly valued by communities, and although they may need to adapt and change, they should continue to receive funding. There has been concern about potential budget cuts to libraries due to property tax reforms, but these cuts have not yet been implemented. Hendrickson suspects that these claims could be scare tactics used by local governments to discourage future property tax reforms. Overall, he reassures that libraries are essential services that communities are unlikely to stop funding.

House Majority Leader Steve Scalise wins GOP conference ballot for Speaker of the House.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Today, House Majority Leader Steve Scalise won the GOP nomination to become the next Speaker of the House. The nomination comes as the House is paralyzed, unable to provide substantial aid to Israel. Rep. John Curtis joins from Washington DC to discuss the speaker race, the war, and more. 

House Republicans are one step closer to selecting a new speaker. They nominated House Majority Leader Steve Scalise for the role, but not all members are on board and it is not yet clear if he has the votes to win on the floor of the House.

On the version of Hot off the Wire posted Oct. 9 at 7 a.m. CT: Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin says he's ordered the Ford carrier strike group to sail to the Eastern Mediterranean to be ready to assist Israel after the surprise attack by Hamas that has left more than 1,000 dead and thousands wounded on both sides. Meantime, a U.S. official says preliminary reports indicate that at least four American citizens were killed in the attacks and an additional seven were missing and unaccounted for. The USS Gerald R. Ford and its approximately 5,000 sailors and deck of warplanes will be accompanied by cruisers and destroyers in a show of force that is meant to be ready to respond to anything, from possibly interdicting additional weapons from reaching Hamas and conducting surveillance. Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant said authorities would cut electricity to Gaza and block the entry of food and fuel there as part of a “complete siege” he ordered. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has drawn a parallel between Russia's invasion of his country and the Hamas militant group's incursion into Israel, saying only “rules (and) international law” can ensure peace around the world. ISLAMABAD (AP) — A senior Taliban delegation is visiting western Afghanistan's Herat province in the aftermath of the powerful earthquake that killed at least 2,000 people and flattened entire villages. Saturday's magnitude 6.3 quake hit a densely populated area in Herat and was followed by strong aftershocks. It was one of the deadliest earthquakes to strike the country in two decades. A statement from Kabul said the Taliban-appointed deputy prime minister for economic affairs and his team will visit the quake-affected region on Monday to deliver “immediate relief assistance” and ensure “equitable and accurate distribution of aid." The quake also trapped hundreds and people have been digging with their bare hands and shovels to pull victims from under the rubble. STOCKHOLM (AP) — The Nobel economics prize has been awarded to Claudia Goldin, a professor at Harvard University, for research that has advanced the understanding of the gender gap in the labor market. Hans Ellegren, secretary-general of the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences, announced the award Monday in Stockholm. Goldin is only the third woman to win the prize. Ellegren says Goldin “was surprised and very, very glad” upon hearing she received the award. Goldin has studied 200 years of women's participation in the workplace, showing that despite continued economic growth, women's pay did not continuously catch up to men's and a divide still exists despite women gaining higher levels of education than men.

Trump first volunteered to serve as an interim candidate. Then he offered Ohio Rep. Jim Jordan, one of his closest allies in Washington, his “Complete & Total Endorsement!” Jordan's path to victory is complex, and he is facing at least one other candidate, House Majority Leader Steve Scalise, who's also on good terms with Trump. It's unclear whether anyone has enough votes to win the gavel. NECOCLI, Colombia (AP) — New York City Mayor Eric Adams has capped off a four-day trip to Latin America by calling for a “right to work” for migrants in the United States. He spoke Saturday during a visit to Necocli, the northern Colombia city where thousands of migrants start the perilous trek across the Darien Gap jungle into Panama, as they head for the U.S. Adams says countries in the region need to “come together” to find solutions to the immigration crisis being felt across the Americas as well as in cities in the United States, including his own. He is urging the U.S goverment to find pathways for migrants and asylum seekers to work legally in the United States. The NFL's two undefeated teams remain undefeated, the Chiefs shake off Travis Kelce's injury, the Rangers slam the Orioles to go up 2-0 while the Twins knot up their ALDS with the Astros, and Georgia still tops the AP poll. LOS ANGELES (AP) — “The Exorcist: Believer” took possession of the weekend box office with a North American opening of $27.2 million. According to studio estimates Sunday, the latest sequel to the 1973 horror classic was a runaway No. 1 in its opening weekend for Universal Pictures and Blumhouse Productions, but it still fell short of expectations with no other new releases with which to compete. Last week's top film, “Paw Patrol: The Mighty Movie,” was a distant second, with $11.8 million, and has earned $38.9 million after two weekends. Another horror sequel, “Saw X,” was third for Lionsgate Films, with $8.2 million. —The Associated Press About this program Host Terry Lipshetz is a senior producer for Lee Enterprises.

Arkin of Newsweek, “The federal government believes that the threat of violence and major civil disturbances around the 2024 U.S. presidential election is so great that it has quietly created a new category of extremists that it seeks to track and counter: Donald Trump's army of MAGA followers. The challenge for the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the primary federal agency charged with law enforcement, is to pursue and prevent what it calls domestic terrorism without direct reference to political parties or affiliations—even though the vast majority of its current ‘anti-government' investigations are of Trump supporters, according to classified data obtained by Newsweek.” You can read the full article here: https://www.newsweek.com/2023/10/13/exclusive-fbi-targets-trump-followers-2024-election-nears-1831836.html 4:35pm- According to a new Suffolk University/Boston Globe/USA Today poll, former UN Ambassador Nikki Haley has surpassed Gov.

Burrowed among them is the White House's recent sabotage of the H-2A and H-2B visa programs—which help employers legally recruit seasonal workers, such as farm-hands and landscapers.” You can read the full article: https://nypost.com/2023/09/30/bidens-visa-rules-hurting-migrants-small-businesses/ 5:15pm- Speaking with Fox 29, Philadelphia District Attorney Larry Krasner was asked about the wide-spread looting that plagued the city last week.

According to Jonah E. Bromwich of The New York Times, the order arose because Trump mocked a court clerk on social media on Monday. He explains Trump mocked “the clerk, Allison Greenfield, shortly before noon on his Truth Social site. His post was a picture of Ms. Greenfield with Senator Chuck Schumer, the Democratic majority leader. Mr. Trump mocked Ms. Greenfield as ‘Schumer's girlfriend' and said that the case against him should be dismissed.” Is Trump receiving a fair trial?

Ricochet Editor-in-Chief Jon Gabriel is in for Jim. Today, Jon and Greg follow up on a recent martini and welcome even more evidence that Oregon voters are ready to reverse the 2020 referendum that gave people possessing hard drugs like heroin and fentanyl a small fine instead of jail time. A new poll shows a strong majority of Oregon voters ready for a full repeal or significant changes to the law. They also cringe at the state of the housing market as interest rates keep rising and the inventory of houses on the market plummets compared to pre-pandemic levels. Finally, they take a closer look at Vivek Ramaswamy and whether recent controversies about his statements on Israel and Taiwan are unfair to him or whether Vivek is not ready for the big stage.

This is Garrison Hardie with your CrossPolitic Daily News Brief for Tuesday, May 9th, 2023. Samaritan Ministries: Don’t be limited by restrictive networks. There’s another way. A Biblical way. Samaritan Ministries. Say you have a medical need. You don’t have to check and see what hospital is in your network, or be concerned about the doctor being in-network, too. No. You go to the hospital you choose, and don’t give a second thought as to what’s in-network and what’s not, because with Samaritan Ministries, you’re in control of your health care. Afterwards, fellow members pray for you, and send money directly to you to help you pay your medical bills. And when they have a medical need, you’ll do the same for them. That’s what Biblical health care sharing looks like. Check it out today at samaritan ministries dot org slash cross politic First, we start with the news of a coronation for our friends across the pond. https://www.cnn.com/2023/05/06/europe/coronation-king-charles-ckc-gbr-intl/index.html King Charles III is crowned in once-in-a-generation ceremony Britain’s King Charles III has been crowned in a once-in-a-generation royal event witnessed by hundreds of high-profile guests inside Westminster Abbey, as well as tens of thousands of well-wishers who gathered in central London despite the rain. While Charles became King on the death of his mother, Queen Elizabeth II last September, the coronation on Saturday was the formal crowning of the monarch. The service was a profoundly religious affair, reflecting the fact that aside from being head of state of the United Kingdom and 14 other countries, Charles is also the Supreme Governor of the Church of England. In the most significant moment of the day, Archbishop of Canterbury Justin Welby placed the 360-year-old St. Edward’s Crown on Charles’ head. The spiritual leader of the Anglican Church then declared: “God Save the King.” The intricate service lasted just over two hours – about an hour shorter than Elizabeth II’s coronation in 1953 – and followed a traditional template that has stayed much the same for more than 1,000 years. However, it has been modernized in certain key ways. The archbishop acknowledged the multiple faiths observed in the UK during the ceremony, saying the Church of England “will seek to foster an environment in which people of all faiths may live freely.” The King took the Coronation Oath and became the first monarch to pray aloud at his coronation. In his prayer he asked to “be a blessing” to people “of every faith and conviction.” In what is considered the most sacred part of the ceremony, the King was anointed with holy oil by the Archbishop of Canterbury. He was also presented with the coronation regalia, including the royal Robe and Stole, in what is known as the investiture part of the service. Then, for the first time in coronation history, the archbishop invited the British public, as well as those from “other Realms,” to recite a pledge of allegiance to the newly crowned monarch and his “heirs and successors.” Ahead of the event, some parts of the British media and public interpreted the invitation as a command, reporting that people had been “asked” and “called” to swear allegiance to the King. In the face of such criticism, the Church of England revised the text of the liturgy so that members of the public would be given a choice between saying simply “God save King Charles” or reciting the full pledge of allegiance. The ceremony also included a reading from the Bible by UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak and, in another coronation first, gospel music. Once the King was crowned, his wife, Queen Camilla, was crowned in her own, shorter ceremony with Queen Mary’s Crown – marking the first time in recent history that a new crown wasn’t made specifically for this occasion. After the ceremony, the newly crowned King and Queen rode back to Buckingham Palace in a much larger parade, featuring 4,000 members of the armed forces, 250 horses and 19 military bands. The pomp and pageantry concluded with a royal salute and the customary balcony appearance by the King and family members. They and the crowds below watched a flypast of military aircraft, slimmed down because of the poor weather. Despite the splendor of the occasion, it has not been without controversy. Some have objected to millions of pounds of taxpayers’ money being spent on a lavish ceremony at a time when millions of Britons are suffering a severe cost-of-living crisis. Security is by far the most costly element of large events and the Met said ahead of time that Saturday would be the largest one-day policing operation in decades, with more than 11,500 officers on duty in London. The coronation has also attracted anti-monarchy demonstrations, with a small number of protesters arrested in central London on Saturday morning before the event began. Republic, a campaign group that calls for the abolition of the monarchy, said the idea of the “homage of the people” was “offensive, tone deaf and a gesture that holds the people in contempt.” Some eyebrows were also raised earlier this week when a controversial and widely criticized UK public order bill came into force. Since the death of Queen Elizabeth II last year, there have been a number of instances of anti-monarchists turning up at royal engagements to voice their grievances against the institution. The new rules, signed into law by the King on Tuesday, just days before the coronation, empower the police to take stronger action against peaceful protesters. https://thepostmillennial.com/biden-to-veto-house-remain-in-mexico-bill?utm_campaign=64487 Biden to veto House 'remain in Mexico' bill On Monday, the White House announced that Joe Biden would veto an immigration bill coming out of the House of Representatives that would reinstitute several Trump-era policies including construction of the border wall and the remain in Mexico policy, which stated that anyone seeking asylum had to wait in Mexico as their claim was processed. According to the Associated Press, the White House Office of Management and Budget said in a statement, "While we welcome Congress' engagement on meaningful steps to address immigration and the challenges at the border, this bill would make things worse, not better. Because this bill does very little to actually increase border security while doing a great deal to trample on the nation’s core values and international obligations, it should be rejected." On Thursday, the House is set to vote on the 213-page Secure the Border Act. Thursday also marks the expiration of Title 42, the Trump-era policy instituted under Covid that granted Border Patrol and Department of Homeland Security officials the ability to expel illegal immigrants over health concerns. The Secure the Border Act would also require employers to verify a worker's immigration status for employment and institute the E-Verify system House Majority Leader Steve Scalise said, "Joe Biden sent a message that America’s border is open, and millions of people answered that call and started coming across our border illegally. We’re going to show the president how to solve the problem." The Daily Mail reports, the Secure the Border Act would limit federal funds for NGOs (non-governmental organizations) that aid illegal immigrants crossing the border, would end Biden's expedited entry policy for Nicaraguans, Venezuelans, Haitians, and Cubans, and grant more money for hiring additional border agents. Joe Biden loosened restrictions along the southern border after he took office and HHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas made the announcement that migrants seeking asylum would be permitted entry into the US as would unaccompanied minors. US Border Patrol Chief Raul Ortiz said that over the weekend 26,382 apprehensions were made by border patrol and that 11 pounds of fentanyl and 83 pounds of meth were seized. Mexican cartels have exploited Biden's border crisis, with 2,378,944 illegal immigrant encounters reported in the 2022 fiscal year and 1,659,206 reported in FY 2021, by trafficking humans and drugs, especially fentanyl across the border in record numbers. https://www.dailywire.com/news/airlines-may-soon-be-on-the-hook-for-delayed-and-canceled-flights-transportation-dept-says Airlines May Soon Be On The Hook For Delayed And Canceled Flights, Transportation Dept Says Transportation Secretary Pete Boo-tuh-jeg announced on Monday that the agency introduced rules requiring airlines to reimburse customers who incur expenses due to certain delayed and canceled flights, a move which comes as the industry faces elevated demand and a constrained labor force. The proposed rules, which would apply when an airline delays a flight for more than three hours or cancels a flight for a “controllable” reason, would mandate that the firms offer compensation for stranded passengers, as well as a meal or meal voucher, overnight accommodations, and ground transportation between the airport and hotel. “When an airline causes a flight cancellation or delay, passengers should not foot the bill,” Buttigieg said in a statement, noting that the proposed reimbursement rules would be the first in American history. The move comes after Southwest Airlines experienced holiday travel disruptions last year due to extreme winter weather conditions, staff shortages, and an outdated computer system. The carrier canceled thousands of flights days after other carriers had resumed normal operations. Buttigieg told the company, which has since promised to compensate passengers for all expenses incurred during that time, that the disruptions were “unacceptable” and promised that his agency would exercise “the fullest extent of its investigative and enforcement powers” to ensure customers are reimbursed. The new proposals also occur as the sector faces a severely limited pool of available pilots and frontline staff. Carriers previously encouraged commercial pilots to retire as worldwide lockdowns caused demand for air travel to plummet in the spring of 2020, worsening a previous trend toward a lack of available pilots. Elevated prices for airline tickets and a rapid return in travel demand, however, are now prompting lawmakers to consider the problem. Regional Airline Association CEO Faye Malarkey Black told members of the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee last month that more than 50% of current pilots would be forced to retire within the next 15 years because of federal rules mandating that pilots exit their positions once they reach 65 years of age, even as only 8% of pilots are below 30 years of age due to the high cost of flight education. Buttigieg has opposed legislation that would increase the retirement threshold to 67 years of age, contending that “the answer is to make sure we have as many and as good pilots ready to take their place, to have a stronger pipeline.” https://www.nbcnews.com/health/health-news/fecal-transplant-pill-fda-approval-rcna81779 FDA approves first pill for fecal transplants, made from healthy bacteria in human waste U.S. health officials on Wednesday approved the first pill made from healthy bacteria found in human waste to fight dangerous gut infections — an easier way of performing so-called fecal transplants. The new treatment from Seres Therapeutics provides a simpler, rigorously tested version of stool-based procedures that some medical specialists have used for more than a decade to help patients. The Food and Drug Administration cleared the capsules for adults 18 and older who face risks from repeat infections with Clostridium difficile, a bacteria that can cause severe nausea, cramping and diarrhea. diff is particularly dangerous when it reoccurs, leading to between 15,000 and 30,000 deaths per year. It can be killed with antibiotics but they also destroy good bacteria that live in the gut, leaving it more susceptible to future infections. The new capsules are approved for patients who have already received antibiotic treatment. More than 10 years ago, some doctors began reporting success with fecal transplants — using stool from a healthy donor — to restore the gut’s healthy balance and prevent reinfections. The FDA approved the first pharmaceutical-grade version of the treatment last year from a rival drugmaker, Ferring Pharmaceuticals. But that company’s product — like most of the original procedures — must be delivered via the rectum. Cambridge, Mass.-based Seres will market its drug as a less invasive option. The treatment will be sold under the brand name Vowst and comes as a regimen of four daily capsules taken for three consecutive days. Both of the recent FDA approvals are the product of years of pharmaceutical industry research into the microbiome, the community of bacteria, viruses and fungi that live in the gut. Currently most fecal transplants are provided by a network of stool banks that have popped up at medical institutions and hospitals across the country. While the availability of new FDA-approved options is expected to decrease demand for donations from stool banks, some plan to stay open. The FDA warned in its approval announcement that the drug “may carry a risk of transmitting infectious agents. It is also possible for Vowst to contain food allergens,” the agency noted. The FDA approved the treatment based on a 180-patient study in which nearly 88% of patients taking the capsules did not experience reinfection after 8 weeks, compared with 60% of those who received dummy pills.

This is Garrison Hardie with your CrossPolitic Daily News Brief for Tuesday, May 9th, 2023. Samaritan Ministries: Don’t be limited by restrictive networks. There’s another way. A Biblical way. Samaritan Ministries. Say you have a medical need. You don’t have to check and see what hospital is in your network, or be concerned about the doctor being in-network, too. No. You go to the hospital you choose, and don’t give a second thought as to what’s in-network and what’s not, because with Samaritan Ministries, you’re in control of your health care. Afterwards, fellow members pray for you, and send money directly to you to help you pay your medical bills. And when they have a medical need, you’ll do the same for them. That’s what Biblical health care sharing looks like. Check it out today at samaritan ministries dot org slash cross politic First, we start with the news of a coronation for our friends across the pond. https://www.cnn.com/2023/05/06/europe/coronation-king-charles-ckc-gbr-intl/index.html King Charles III is crowned in once-in-a-generation ceremony Britain’s King Charles III has been crowned in a once-in-a-generation royal event witnessed by hundreds of high-profile guests inside Westminster Abbey, as well as tens of thousands of well-wishers who gathered in central London despite the rain. While Charles became King on the death of his mother, Queen Elizabeth II last September, the coronation on Saturday was the formal crowning of the monarch. The service was a profoundly religious affair, reflecting the fact that aside from being head of state of the United Kingdom and 14 other countries, Charles is also the Supreme Governor of the Church of England. In the most significant moment of the day, Archbishop of Canterbury Justin Welby placed the 360-year-old St. Edward’s Crown on Charles’ head. The spiritual leader of the Anglican Church then declared: “God Save the King.” The intricate service lasted just over two hours – about an hour shorter than Elizabeth II’s coronation in 1953 – and followed a traditional template that has stayed much the same for more than 1,000 years. However, it has been modernized in certain key ways. The archbishop acknowledged the multiple faiths observed in the UK during the ceremony, saying the Church of England “will seek to foster an environment in which people of all faiths may live freely.” The King took the Coronation Oath and became the first monarch to pray aloud at his coronation. In his prayer he asked to “be a blessing” to people “of every faith and conviction.” In what is considered the most sacred part of the ceremony, the King was anointed with holy oil by the Archbishop of Canterbury. He was also presented with the coronation regalia, including the royal Robe and Stole, in what is known as the investiture part of the service. Then, for the first time in coronation history, the archbishop invited the British public, as well as those from “other Realms,” to recite a pledge of allegiance to the newly crowned monarch and his “heirs and successors.” Ahead of the event, some parts of the British media and public interpreted the invitation as a command, reporting that people had been “asked” and “called” to swear allegiance to the King. In the face of such criticism, the Church of England revised the text of the liturgy so that members of the public would be given a choice between saying simply “God save King Charles” or reciting the full pledge of allegiance. The ceremony also included a reading from the Bible by UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak and, in another coronation first, gospel music. Once the King was crowned, his wife, Queen Camilla, was crowned in her own, shorter ceremony with Queen Mary’s Crown – marking the first time in recent history that a new crown wasn’t made specifically for this occasion. After the ceremony, the newly crowned King and Queen rode back to Buckingham Palace in a much larger parade, featuring 4,000 members of the armed forces, 250 horses and 19 military bands. The pomp and pageantry concluded with a royal salute and the customary balcony appearance by the King and family members.

House Republicans are set to embark on a multiweek stretch of ups and downs — starting today, with the release of a massive energy package authored by House Majority Leader Steve Scalise, aimed at boosting domestic oil-and-gas production, lowering consumer costs and drawing a sharp contrast with the Biden administration's pivot to green energy.  The legislation will be designated “H.R. 1,” underscoring how the energy issue is a central plank of the GOP agenda following a campaign cycle dominated by soaring gasoline, electricity and heating fuel prices. While the House is expected to clear the bill by month's end, the GOP faces a rockier road on the other side: With the debt-ceiling deadline looming, Republicans are already fretting about how they're going to write a budget that balances in 10 years, as Speaker Kevin McCarthy promised conservatives during his campaign for the gavel, let alone pass one with only a four-seat majority.

As documents continue being discovered, many Republicans are expressing increased frustration due to the Department of Justice showing 'a complete double standard' in their treatment of President Biden when compared to their investigation of former President Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago estate. On the Rundown, House Majority Leader Steve Scalise discusses how the House Oversight Committee plans to "be very aggressive" in investigating President Biden and what other oversight issues House Republicans plan to prioritize -- including the Southern border and the origins of COVID-19. He also explains how the GOP believes lawmakers should respond to the US hitting the debt ceiling and what he's looking forward to as the new House Majority Leader.   Within the last month, some of the largest and most influential tech companies have announced significant layoffs; Google fired 6 percent of its workers, Microsoft plans to lose 5 percent of their staff, and Amazon cut 18,000 jobs. These tech companies are trimming their workforce in anticipation of a recession, as Americans struggle with the still high inflation that the Fed is fighting to get under control. Co-host of the brand-new Fox Business show, 'The Big Money Show' Taylor Riggs joins the Rundown to discuss how major tech layoffs can be traced to the booming demand during the pandemic and why the recession experts are expecting will look much different than 2008. Later, she explains how 'The Big Money Show' will break down complex market topics and show Americans how finance can be fun.   ​​Plus, commentary by New York Post columnist Karol Markowicz.
