Donald Trump is rumored to have a plan to receive a $400 million plane from Qatar, retrofitted to serve as Air Force One. On its face, it's a straightforward diplomatic gift to the United States, meant to replace aging presidential aircraft. But the controversy kicked into overdrive with reports that this plane could eventually end up in Trump's hands personally, via his presidential library. That's where things get murky.Let's start with facts. The two current Air Force One planes have been flying since the George H.W. Bush era. They're overdue for replacement, and Boeing was contracted to deliver new ones. But Boeing's been a mess—delays, scandals, technical issues. Trump, frustrated with the pace, toured a Qatari 747-8 already fitted for luxury use. This plane is 13 years old, but still valued around $400 million.Politics Politics Politics is a reader-supported publication. To receive new posts and support my work, consider becoming a free or paid subscriber.Now, Qatar is a massive buyer of American military hardware. We're talking $26 billion in purchases over the past decade. In that context, a $400 million jet as a gesture of goodwill isn't shocking. What makes this different is the personal angle. According to ABC's original report, Trump's library would receive the plane by January 1, 2029 — before Trump's successor takes office, and potentially before Boeing's replacements are ready. If true, that would mean Trump gets to keep a retrofitted Air Force One for personal use, while the next president is stuck with the old models.For me, that's the red line. If Trump forces his successor to downgrade because he took the new plane for himself, that's blatant self-dealing. If the plane stays in the rotation until Boeing delivers, and only then moves to his library, it becomes more of a vanity project — still unusual, but not unprecedented. Reagan's old Air Force One is parked at his library, after all. You can even see it in some of Trump's old debates, the ones held at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library.But Reagan's plane wasn't transferred to him personally right after his presidency. It stayed in service until Clinton's term ended before being disassembled and reassembled in Simi Valley. Trump's timeline — if ABC's reporting holds — would be far more aggressive, and far more self-serving.The frustrating part is how little clarity we've gotten. Most coverage fixates on whether it's “appropriate” for Qatar to give the U.S. a plane. That's not the interesting question. The real issue is when Trump plans to take personal control of it. That's what determines whether this is normal diplomatic horse-trading — or brazen corruption.Until we get a straight answer on that, this story stays in limbo. Potential scandal or overblown noise — we just don't know yet.Chapters00:00:00 - Intro00:03:55 - Qatari Plane Deal00:18:10 - Update00:21:19 - John Fetterman00:24:52 - David Hogg00:27:13 - Inflation00:31:11 - Interview with Matt Laslo01:17:52 - Wrap-up This is a public episode.

Can you imagine a time when a U.S. President and a Canadian Prime Minister were friends? ... And said nice things about each other in public? ... And the nice things they said about each other in public were neither remarkable nor newsworthy? Well, here's proof that such a time once existed: "The fact that we go on, we got along, President Reagan and Prime Minister Mulroney, two some said Irish, we were Irish, now that I think of it, and we became friends. But more to the point. We recognized the importance of getting along. It sent a positive message not only to our senior officials and our governments to work together, but to the people of Canada and the United States." That was the Right Honourable Brian Mulroney, Prime Minister of Canada ... April 5th 1993 ... At a tribute in his honor ... Hosted by Ronald Reagan ...The event was held in Simi Valley California at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library and Museum. Not used to hearing such language? Want to hear Brian Mulroney say more lovely things about Ronald Reagan — and hear Ronald Reagan say lovely things about Brian Mulroney? Then listen to the latest episode of C-SPAN's podcast "The Weekly." Remembering when Canada and the United States were partners in trade — and partners in friendship.

When actor Dennis Quaid was approached to play Ronald Reagan in the new movie "Reagan," he almost didn't take the role. "Fear went up my spine," he tells Glenn on a special episode of "The Glenn Beck Podcast." "He's probably my biggest hero, in a way." As the two sit surrounded by beautiful mountains at Glenn's ranch in Idaho, Quaid explains how a visit to Reagan's own ranch property was what finally convinced him to accept the part. "I GOT Reagan there. You can feel him." Quaid reveals what made Reagan such a formidable — yet loved — president and whether or not America will ever see a similar leader again. They dive into Quaid's past struggles with addiction, the dangers of fame, and how he eventually developed a personal relationship with Jesus Christ that pulled him through it all. Plus, Quaid provides hope for our nation's future, from the ability of RFK Jr. to bridge Democrat and Republican Party lines and signs the world is "turning right side up again" to his belief that mending America starts with one small step at a time: "I think it starts at home, in our relationships with our friend [and] local community." They discuss how COVID replicated a kind of "spiritual revolution," the spread of communism, and how Quaid learned piano from Jerry Lee Lewis himself — which Quaid then demonstrates in an impromptu performance. So is Quaid concerned for the nation's future? Or is he steadfast — like Reagan — in his belief in the American people? He tells Glenn that he's an optimist and that "people are yearning for a return to common sense and decency."   Special thank-you to the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library for helping to provide footage of the 40th president.    Note: The new movie "Reagan" is a sponsor of "The Glenn Beck Program."   Sponsors:     Relief Factor    Relief Factor can help you live pain-free!    Visit https://www.relieffactor.com/ or call 800-4-RELIEF to save on your first order.      PreBorn   By introducing an expecting mother to her unborn baby through a free ultrasound, PreBorn doubles the chances that she will choose life.

Rumours of communist infiltration in the movie business had circulated for years. Showbiz insider Billy Wilkerson is the first to publicly name alleged Tinseltown “communists”, including Dalton Trumbo, in his paper, the Hollywood Reporter. William R. Wilkerson III speaks about his father's friendship with billionaire producer Howard Hughes, a rabid anti-communist. He describes how his mostly apolitical father's anti-communist stance was shaped by a visit to the Soviet Union. Wilkerson III recalls how his father's close connections with stars like Jimmy Cagney gave him political influence in Hollywood.

During Lydon Johnson's 4 years in office, his administration shepherded through: The Civil Rights Act, The Voting Rights Act, The Economic Opportunity Act, Upward Bound, The Job Corps, Head Start, Community Action Agencies, The Elementary and Secondary Education Act, Medicare and Medicaid, The National Endowment for the Arts and Humanities, The Corporation for Public Broadcasting, PBS, and NPR, The Urban Mass Transportation Act, Cigarette Labelling and Advertising Act, The Motor Vehicle Safety Act, The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. The Fair Packaging and Labeling Act, The Child Safety Act of 1966, The Water Quality Act, The Housing and Urban Development Act, The Fair Labor Standards Act, and many many other programs designed to eliminate poverty in America.  By eliminating poverty, he didn't only mean financial poverty, yet this isn't to say that LBJ ignored the economics at all. You might recall from our first episode Johnson saying, "This administration here and now declares unconditional war on poverty in America.” But we still see poverty in America today, so does that mean the war on poverty failed?  In this episode, we'll look at the legacies of the Great Society, the War on Poverty, and LBJ's Presidency.  And we'll ask, what did the policies that came out of his administration mean for the American Safety Net and why aren‘t more people aware of LBJ's social policy legacy?  Special thanks to our guests for this episode, Erine Gray, Guian McKee, Martha Baily, Julian Zelizer, Mark Updegrove, H.W. Brands, and Robert Caro.

Here we are in the third episode of our 4 episode season looking at how Lyndon Johnson, by passing the civil rights bill on July 2nd, 1964, and The Economic Opportunity Act on Aug. 20th, 1964, is continuing the work of Franklin Roosevelt, and doing it as a sort of interim president before he is elected in his own right in November of 1964. An election he's nervous about, an election that could find him out of politics altogether with an enormous amount of work undone and with no clear path to power within reach. One of the biggest goals left undone by FDR and through the terms of Truman, Eisenhower, and Kennedy, is that of passing a comprehensive healthcare bill for the poor and elderly.  In this episode, we explore Medicare's tenuous, and little-known road to realization and the masterminds behind its conception.  Special thanks to our guests for this episode, Erine Gray, Guian McKee, Melody Barnes, Julian Zelizer, Mark Updegrove, and Robert Caro.

Earlier this year, we were fortunate to interview holocaust historian, curator and American Jewish University professor Dr. Michael Berenbaum. He joined Coffee with Closers to preview the opening of “Auschwitz. Not long ago. Not far away.” This world-renowned traveling exhibition is currently at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library in Simi Valley California. In light of the recent atrocities in Israel, we've decided to re-air the episode. Dr. Berenbaum sheds light on the significance of educating people of all ages about one of humanity's darkest chapters and the profound lessons it holds for our present times.Due to overwhelming demand, “Auschwitz. Not long ago. Not far away.” was extended through January 28, 2024 at the Reagan Library.

When President Reagan dedicated the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library and Museum on November 4, 1991, he said that he wanted the Library to be more than just a place where scholars interpret the past, but that he wanted it to be a dynamic intellectual forum where policy makers debate the future. What better way to honor his vision than to host presidential debates at his Library? Since 2007, the Reagan Foundation has hosted 5 republican primary candidate presidential debates: 2 in the 2008 presidential election cycle, 1 in the 2012 presidential election cycle, 1 in the 2016 presidential election cycle, and then our 5th one, just last week, as part of the 2024 presidential election cycle. At our debate, which was broadcast on Fox Business and was in partnership with Univision, Rumble and the RNC, six candidates took the stage. They were, in alphabetical order, Chris Christie, Ron DeSantis, Nikki Haley, Mike Pence, Vivek Ramaswamy, and Tim Scott. Approximately 700 guests watched the debate live in our Air Force One Pavilion, with another 500 members of the media on our campus watching in the filing center and spin room. In this week's Reagan Forum Podcast we are replaying this debate.

What happens. . . and doesn't happen during a government shutdown? And what are the economic and political costs of one? FOX News Senior Congressional Correspondent Chad Pergram looks back at previous shutdowns and the spending fights that caused them. Later, he looks back at the career and legacy of the late Senator Dianne Feinstein. Seven of the Republican candidates took the GOP debate stage at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library in California on Wednesday, attempting to stand out and hopefully give their campaigns a boost. However, it's still a question as to whether they were able to land a significant punch on former President Donald Trump, who was absent for the event and continues to be the overwhelming frontrunner in the Republican 2024 nomination race. Anchor of The Story on the FOX News Channel and Co-Moderator of the first 2023 GOP Debate Martha MacCallum gives her take on the evening, who she thinks could see a bounce in the polls.

On Wednesday night, Fox Business and Rumble hosted the second Republican presidential debate at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library in beautiful Simi Valley, California. Bari Weiss and The Free Press's very own Peter Savodnik watched live in the spin room as the seven candidates—Ron DeSantis, Vivek Ramaswamy, Nikki Haley, Mike Pence, Chris Christie, Tim Scott, and Doug Burgum— took the stage to spar over questions about union strikes, inflation, income inequality, the cost of childcare, the border, China, crime, policing, drugs, gun violence, education, Russia, Ukraine. . . really, nothing new. But of course, the man they really wanted to spar with and the man leading the polls by a landslide still refuses to play ball. So, we sent TFP reporter Michael Moynihan to check in on the elusive Donald Trump, who spent his night on the other side of the country speaking to a crowded room, which he claimed would be full of striking auto workers. (Though, Moyihan had a hard time finding them.) Trump's Detroit visit came just one day after President Biden went to the picket line in Wayne County to march with union members outside a General Motors plant—an unprecedented move by a sitting president. On today's episode, as the two likely 2024 candidates battled to portray themselves as the voice of blue-collar Americans, what were the seven GOP hopefuls hoping to achieve by squabbling at the Reagan Library instead of marching with striking auto workers? Who were the biggest winners and losers of this very strange tale of two cities? And with nearly 60 percent of GOP voters backing Trump, is anyone emerging as a viable Trump competitor, or is it time to face the fact that we're tumbling toward a 2020 rematch between two very old men that no one really wants to see happen?

According to The New York Times, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis received the most speaking time—speaking for 12:27 of the 2-hour long debate. The New York Times also notes that the subject which received the most debate time was border security. You can read more about the debate's statistical breakdown here: https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2023/09/27/us/politics/second-republican-debate-live-tracker.html 3:15pm- Who won last night's Republican presidential debate from the Reagan Presidential Library? While several candidates had strong moments, there was seemingly no real challenge to Donald Trump's massive polling lead. According to RealClearPolitics polling averages, Trump has a 43-point advantage over second-place candidate Ron DeSantis—57% to 14%. 3:35pm- On Thursday, the House Oversight and Accountability Committee held its first impeachment inquiry hearing into President Joe Biden's alleged improper role in his family's overseas business deals. In his opening statement, Committee Chairman Jim Jordan (R-OH) said “this is a tale as old as time. A politician takes action that makes money for his family and then tries to conceal it.” 3:50pm- During the House Oversight and Accountability Committee's impeachment inquiry into President Joe Biden, Congresswoman Nancy Mace (R-SC) called-out Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-NY) for claiming there needed to be a House vote prior to launching an impeachment inquiry. In 2019, Raskin emphatically stated that no vote was needed to open an impeachment inquiry into then-President Donald Trump. 4:05pm- Have we been slicing pizza wrong? A viral video on social media shows one person using a “white plastic pizza saver” to remove slices. You can watch the weird video here:  https://nypost.com/2023/09/28/viral-video-shows-weve-been-slicing-pizza-wrong-forever/ 4:15pm- Philadelphia Municipal Judge Wendy Pew dismissed all charges against former Philadelphia police officer Mark Dial who was accused of shooting and killing Eddie Irizarry during a traffic stop last month. In the aftermath of the decision, the city saw widespread looting in Center City, the Northeast, and West Philadelphia—targeting stores like Foot Locker, Lululemon, Apple, and Fine Wine & Good Spirits on Tuesday night. On Wednesday night, break-ins and thefts continued with 6 more people arrested—bringing the total, according to a report from The Philadelphia Inquirer, to 58 people through two-days.

Dayja “Meatball” Blackwell, who has nearly 500,000 followers on TikTok, has been charged with 6 felonies. 4:30pm- During Wednesday night's presidential debate, Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL) said it was in America's best interest to end the war in Ukraine—and that we should not provide Ukraine with a “blank check.” In response, Sen. Tim Scott (R-SC) argued that 90% of the money being provided to Ukraine is considered a “loan.” Vivek Ramaswamy insisted the money would never, realistically, be paid back. 4:35pm- In perhaps the most awkward moment of the entire debate, former Governor Chris Christie (R-NJ) referred to Donald Trump as “Donald Duck” for not participating in the debate. 4:50pm- Listeners call-in to discuss last night's Republican presidential debate: who won? And was Chris Christie's “Donald Duck” moment so bad that it was actually good? 5:00pm- At the conclusion of the House Oversight and Accountability Committee's impeachment inquiry hearing into President Joe Biden on Thursday, Chairman James Comer (R-KY) announced that he would be issuing subpoenas for Hunter Biden and James Biden's personal bank records. 5:15pm- In a particularly strange exchange during Wednesday night's presidential debate, former Ambassador Nikki Haley and Sen. Tim Scott (R-SC) argued over the price of curtains. In a more substantive give-and-take, Haley contended that the social media application TikTok is a national security threat and should be banned. Contrarily, Vivek Ramaswamy contended that because TikTok is accessible to American citizens Republicans need a presence on the application in order to reach younger voters. 5:30pm- In his opening statement during the House impeachment inquiry in President Joe Biden, Rep. Jason Smith (R-MO) alleged that “the Biden family sold access to Joe Biden's power…and the Biden Department of Justice protected the Biden brand.” 5:40pm- While appearing on CNN, New York Governor Kathy Hochul (D) said her state was “at capacity” due to the sudden surge of illegal migrants. 5:45pm- While appearing on CNN with Jake Tapper, Rep. Ayanna Pressley (D-MA) emphatically stated that the U.S. Southern “border is secure” despite thousands of unlawful entries each day—even Tapper couldn't believe what he heard and had to ask her to confirm her statement. 5:55pm- Matt's favorite member of Congress is back: Rep. Hank Johnson (D-GA)! First, he prevented Guam from “capsizing,” then he solved helium inequity, and now he is concentrating on the U.S. Southern border! 6:05pm- Who won last night's Republican presidential debate from the Reagan Presidential Library? While several candidates had strong moments, there was seemingly no real challenge to Donald Trump's massive polling lead. According to RealClearPolitics polling averages, Trump has a 43-point advantage over second-place candidate Ron DeSantis—57% to 14%. 6:15pm- On Thursday, the House Oversight and Accountability Committee held its first impeachment inquiry hearing into President Joe Biden's alleged improper role in his family's overseas business deals. In his opening statement, Committee Chairman James Comer (R-KY) claimed that the Biden family has received millions of dollars from companies with ties to the Chinese government. 6:20pm- Should Chris Christie drop out of the Republican presidential primary and, instead, challenge Sen. Robert Menendez for his U.S. Senate seat? According to polling, Christie would win a hypothetical head-to-head matchup. 6:30pm- Philadelphia Municipal Judge Wendy Pew dismissed all charges against former Philadelphia police officer Mark Dial who was accused of shooting and killing Eddie Irizarry during a traffic stop last month. In the aftermath of the decision, the city saw widespread looting in Center City, the Northeast, and West Philadelphia—targeting stores like Foot Locker, Lululemon, Apple, and Fine Wine & Good Spirits on Tuesday night.

You can read more about the debate's statistical breakdown here: https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2023/09/27/us/politics/second-republican-debate-live-tracker.html Who won last night's Republican presidential debate from the Reagan Presidential Library? While several candidates had strong moments, there was seemingly no real challenge to Donald Trump's massive polling lead. According to RealClearPolitics polling averages, Trump has a 43-point advantage over second-place candidate Ron DeSantis—57% to 14%. On Thursday, the House Oversight and Accountability Committee held its first impeachment inquiry hearing into President Joe Biden's alleged improper role in his family's overseas business deals. In his opening statement, Committee Chairman Jim Jordan (R-OH) said “this is a tale as old as time. A politician takes action that makes money for his family and then tries to conceal it.” During the House Oversight and Accountability Committee's impeachment inquiry into President Joe Biden, Congresswoman Nancy Mace (R-SC) called-out Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-NY) for claiming there needed to be a House vote prior to launching an impeachment inquiry. In 2019, Raskin emphatically stated that no vote was needed to open an impeachment inquiry into then-President Donald Trump.

The seven candidates who qualified for the second Republican presidential debate took the stage last night at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library in Simi Valley, California. After the first debate proved to have an evident impact on voters, with many polls showing South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley's numbers rising while Florida Governor Ron DeSantis took a hit, many Americans anticipated how last night's debate would continue shaping the Republican presidential field. Did the debate have a clear “winner,” and how could the eventful night impact former President Donald Trump's lead in the polls? On the Rundown, FOX News Radio Political Analyst Josh Kraushaar and FOX News Radio Congressional Correspondent Jared Halpern discuss which candidates had a successful night, why they believe the majority of those on stage missed the mark when discussing the economy, and who they believe did well enough to make it to the next debate. Earlier this week, House Speaker Kevin McCarthy rejected a stopgap spending bill in the Senate, bringing the U.S. government that much closer to a potential shutdown. If House Republicans do not agree on a deal by October 1st, thousands of government workers will be furloughed until an agreement is reached.

Republican presidential debate and state GOP convention this week in California. Gov. Bill to legalize some psychedelics awaits Gov. Newsom's signature or veto. Exhibit explores Sacramento lowrider history and culture. California in Republican National Spotlight It's a busy and potentially pivotal week for Republican candidates in California. Tonight, it's the second Republican Presidential debate between the major candidates, minus frontrunner Donald Trump. Then, this weekend, California Republicans will gather for their annual convention in Anaheim. Los Angeles Times political reporter, Seema Mehta, joins us from the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library, site of tonight's debate, with a look at who needs to perform well in California in order to take the state's delegates as well as some of the important down-ballot races that could reshape the House of Representatives. Psychedelics Bill Awaits Gov. Newsom Signature Gov. Newsom is weighing hundreds of bills passed by the State Legislature. One bill would decriminalize some hallucinogenic drugs like psilocybin, which is found in magic mushrooms. From Oregon to Colorado and Washington D.C. laws surrounding the use of psychedelics have been loosened, decriminalized, or even legalized in a supervised setting. And more conservative states like Texas and Utah are exploring the therapeutic benefits of psychedelics for disorders from PTSD, depression, anxiety, as well as addiction. Newsom hasn't indicated whether he will sign this bill into law, which comes with pushback from law enforcement groups. But California is already home to the first accredited university training therapists, doctors and nurses in the benefits of psychedelics, and how to use them safely. We are revisiting a conversation we had in January with Dr. Janis Phelps, Director of the Center for Psychedelic Therapy and Research at the California Institute of Integral Studies in San Francisco, about the benefits of psychedelics in a supervised setting.   Sacramento Exhibit on Lowrider History Lowrider culture is full of life, art, music and love. But for decades it was targeted by local communities as a nuisance and dangerous. A new exhibit at the Sacramento History Museum explores the long history of lowrider and cruising culture in California along with the discrimination associated with it. “Boulevard Dreams” is the largest exhibit yet at the museum and Executive Director Delta Pick Mello and Francine Mata with the Sacramento Lowrider Commission join us to explain what visitors will experience and the message behind the exhibit.

In this episode of How to Fix Democracy, host Andrew Keen engages in a conversation with the author and historian Richard Norton Smith, delving into a discussion about the Hoover presidency and its profound relevance for the United States during a time of upheaval and economic depression.   Author and historian Richard Norton Smith enjoys national recognition as an expert on the American presidency. After graduating from Harvard in 1975, he began his career as a White House intern and subsequently served as a speechwriter for Senator Edward Brooke of Massachusetts. Smith held the position of Director at various prestigious institutions, including the Herbert Hoover Presidential Library and Museum, the Dwight D. Eisenhower Center, and the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library.

This is Garrison Hardie with your CrossPolitic Daily News Brief for Wednesday, April 19th, 2023. Let’s just start with on this day in history… On this day in history, April 19th, 1770 British explorer Captain James Cook first sights Australia. Writes in his log book that “what we have as yet seen of this land appears rather low, and not very hilly, the face of the Country green and Woody, but the Sea shore is all a white Sand.” 1775 American Revolution begins in Lexington, Massachusetts. The "Shot Heard Round the World" takes place later that day in Concord Minutemen Capt John Parker orders not to fire unless fired upon In the early hours of April 19, 1775, Capt. John Parker was alerted to mobilize the Lexington Company of the Middlesex County Brigade, Massachusetts Militia, in anticipation of a British 700-man force that was marching to Concord to capture provincial arms. By 2 a.m. Parker had mustered his company on the Lexington Green. The Lexington Company of militia was typical of the period. The youngest militiaman was 18, the oldest 63; eight fathers and sons served together. Most were farmers, while some were veterans of the French and Indian War. Just after sunrise Parker and his 77 militiamen stood in defiance of the British advance guard. "Stand your ground," Parker ordered. "Don't fire unless fired upon. But, if they want to have a war, let it begin here." Maj. John Pitcairn, commander of the British advance guard, ordered the militiamen to lay down their arms. Realizing that his company was outnumbered, Parker ordered his men to disperse. As the militiamen began to break ranks, a British officer fired his pistol. Without orders, the British troops opened fire. Although greatly outnumbered, the militiamen returned the fire. The battle went on for several minutes, all around the Green. When it was over, eight Americans lay dead and nine were wounded. 1775 New England militiamen begin the siege of Boston, hemming in the British army garrison 1775 Paul Revere, William Dawes and Samuel Prescott are captured by British troops riding from Lexington to Concord, Prescott escapes to warn Concord 1782 John Adams secures Dutch Republic's recognition of the United States as an independent government, a house he purchased in The Hague becomes America's first embassy 1874 Barracks on Alcatraz Island destroyed in fire 1909 Joan of Arc receives beatification by the Roman Catholic Church 1910 Halley's comet seen by naked eye 1st time this trip (Curacao) 1926 30th Boston Marathon won by Canadian Johnny Miles in 2:25:40.4 1943 Jews refuse to surrender the Warsaw Ghetto to SS officer Jürgen Stroop, who then orders its destruction, beginning the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising 1951 General Douglas MacArthur ends his military career And that, was on this day in history… Now let’s get to current news: https://www.military.com/daily-news/2023/04/17/us-sails-warship-through-taiwan-strait-after-chinas-drills.html US Sails Warship Through Taiwan Strait After China's Drills The United States Navy has sailed a warship through the Taiwan Strait in its first known transit since China carried out an encirclement exercise around self-ruled Taiwan. The U.S. 7th Fleet said the transit through the strait by the USS Milius on Sunday was routine. The cruisers “transited through a corridor in the Strait that is beyond the territorial sea of any coastal State,” the statement said. Last week China concluded large-scale air and sea drills in the strait in retaliation for Taiwan's President Tsai Ing-wen meeting with U.S. House Speaker Kevin McCarthy on April 5 in California. China said Wednesday that the exercises simulating an encirclement of Taiwan were intended as a “serious warning” to pro-independence politicians on the self-governing island and their foreign supporters. China protested the transit Monday, saying the U.S. transit was a “public hype” and that the Eastern Theater Command was ready at any time to “resolutely safeguard the country's sovereignty, safety, and regional peace and stability," according to a statement from the Eastern Theater Command's spokesperson Shi Yilu. China has stepped up its military pressure over Taiwan in recent years, sending fighter jets and navy vessels towards the island on a near-daily basis. After former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi visited Taiwan last August, China sent more and more military vessels over the midline of the Taiwan Strait, an unofficial boundary that had been accepted for decades. That increasing pressure from China has given greater attention to Taiwan globally. Taiwan's military confirmed a French navy vessel had transited the middle of the Taiwan Strait last week. However, it did not elicit a public protest by the Chinese military. China earlier had sanctioned the organizations involved with Tsai's visit in the U.S., including the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library, where her meeting with McCarthy and other members of Congress were held. It also sanctioned U.S. Rep. Michael McCaul, the Texas Republican who chairs the chamber's Foreign Affairs Committee, for visiting Taiwan. On Sunday, China launched a rocket carrying a satellite that dropped debris into waters north of the capital Taipei. While the satellite launch had no obvious military purpose, it disrupted travel, delaying flights. https://www.newsmax.com/newsfront/chauvin-murder-appeals-court/2023/04/17/id/1116489/ Chauvin Murder Conviction Upheld in George Floyd Killing The Minnesota Court of Appeals on Monday upheld former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin's second-degree murder conviction in the killing of George Floyd, and let his 22 1/2-year sentence remain in place. Chauvin's attorney had asked the appeals court to throw out the ex-officer's convictions for a long list of reasons, including the massive pretrial publicity. He also argued that legal and procedural errors deprived Chauvin of a fair trial. But the three-judge panel sided with prosecutors who said Chauvin got a fair trial and just sentence. Floyd died on May 25, 2020, after Chauvin, who is white, used his knee to pin the Black man's neck to the ground for 9 1/2 minutes. A bystander video captured Floyd's fading cries of "I can't breathe." Floyd's death touched off protests around the world, some of which turned violent, and forced a national reckoning with police brutality and racism. Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison, who assembled the prosecution team, said in a statement that he was "grateful we have a system where everyone, no matter how egregious their offense, is entitled to due process and fair treatment." "The Court's decision today shows once again no one is above the law — and no one is beneath it," Ellison said. A voicemail and emails were sent to Chauvin's attorney, William Mohrman. He argued on appeal that the trial judge should have moved the case out of Minneapolis because of extensive pretrial publicity and unprecedented security precautions due to fears of violence. But Neal Katyal, a special attorney for the state, argued that Chauvin got "one of the most transparent and thorough trials in our nation's history." Hennepin County Judge Peter Cahill sentenced Chauvin to 22 1/2 years after jurors found him guilty of second-degree murder, third-degree murder and second-degree manslaughter. Chauvin later pleaded guilty to a separate federal civil rights charge and was sentenced to 21 years in federal prison, which he is now serving in Arizona concurrent with his state sentence. Local defense attorney Mike Brandt, who has followed the case closely, said he was not surprised that the appeals court affirmed Chauvin's conviction and found no errors that would have changed the outcome. Appellate courts give judges wide discretion and are loath to micromanage how they run trials, he said. He added that Cahill created a solid record to justify the decisions he made in a "high-pressure case where literally the eyes of the world were on him." The appeals court declined to address whether it was legally permissible to convict Chauvin of third-degree murder. The defense said a 2021 Minnesota Supreme Court decision in a different police killing case that clarified the definition of that crime meant the law no longer fit the facts of Floyd's killing. But the appeals court noted that the trial judge never formally adjudicated that conviction nor did he sentence Chauvin on that count. https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2023/apr/18/fox-dominion-settle-us-defamation-lawsuit Fox and Dominion settle for $787.5m in defamation lawsuit over election lies Fox and the voting equipment company Dominion reached a $787.5m settlement in a closely watched defamation lawsuit, ending a dispute over whether the network and its parent company knowingly broadcast false and outlandish allegations that Dominion was involved in a plot to steal the 2020 election. The settlement came before scheduled opening statements and after an unexpected lengthy delay Tuesday afternoon just after the jury was sworn in. Neither party immediately disclosed the terms of the settlement other than the dollar amount, and attorneys for Dominion declined to answer questions about whether it requires Fox to issue a retraction or a formal apology. Opening statements were scheduled to start on Tuesday after a lunch break, but the judge and jurors did not return to the room until close to 4pm. During the more than two-hour delay, attorneys huddled and left the courtroom to convene in adjacent meeting rooms. After returning to the courtroom, Davis thanked the jurors for their service, and called the efforts by the lawyers on both sides “the best lawyering I’ve had, ever” in his career on the bench since 2010. The anticipated six-week jury trial was originally set to begin on Monday, but Davis, the judge overseeing the case, postponed the start of trial by a day as the sides worked to reach a settlement agreement. The trial in Wilmington, Delaware, was set to be a blockbuster media trial. Rupert Murdoch, the 92-year-old chief executive of Fox, was called to testify in the case, along with top Fox talent including Tucker Carlson, Sean Hannity, Jeanine Pirro and Maria Bartiromo. Dominion, a relatively obscure company until the 2020 election, sought $1.6bn in damages in the case. It challenged repeated claims made on Fox’s air after the general election that Dominion switched votes, paid government kickbacks, and was founded in Venezuela to rig elections for Hugo Chávez. In the press conference Tuesday, Dominion CEO John Poulos called the settlement historic because of Fox’s admission that it was telling lies. https://townhall.com/tipsheet/katiepavlich/2023/04/17/the-climate-fanatics-have-a-new-food-target-n2622039 The Climate Lunatics Have a New Food Target Climate change lunatics who want to ban beef and force everyone to eat bugs have a new target. According to AFP news, climate "scientists" are targeting rice farming as a "dangerous," emissions heavy practice. They say flooded rice fields, which then naturally ferment hay and other plants, produce too much methane. According to National Geographic, rice is a main and key food source for 3.5 billion people. "Rice is a food staple for more than 3.5 billion people around the world, particularly in Asia, Latin America, and parts of Africa. Rice has been cultivated in Asia for thousands of years. Scientists believe people first domesticated rice in India or Southeast Asia. Rice arrived in Japan in about 3,000 years ago. The Portuguese most likely introduced it into South America in the 16th century," the magazine reports. "Today, the world’s largest rice producers are China, India, and Indonesia. Outside of Asia, Brazil is the largest rice producer. Rice grows in warm, wet climates. It thrives in waterlogged soil, such as in the flood plains of Asian rivers like the Ganges and the Mekong. "Deepwater rice" is a variety of rice that is adapted to deep flooding, and is grown in eastern Pakistan, Vietnam, and Burma." Meanwhile, Sri Lanka recently adopted a number of climate change policies on reducing fertilizer and caused a major food crisis. "In April 2021, then-president announced an abrupt ban on the import of chemical fertilisers to force the country of 22mn to embrace organic farming. The prohibition lasted only about six months, but analysts said the ill-fated policy not only stoked an economic crisis, it would leave Sri Lanka’s agricultural sector hobbled for years," the Financial Times reports. "Over the past 18 months, the country has become a cautionary tale for global agriculture. Vital inputs such as fuel and fertilisers are in short supply, with prices soaring. Yields from rice and other staples have halved in many areas and the once largely self-sufficient Indian Ocean island now depends on international aid to combat a hunger crisis." There's no doubt a new climate attack on rice will have a catastrophic impact.

The Rich Zeoli Show- Full Episode (03/06/2023): 3:05pm- According to The New York Post's Miranda Devine, “[n]ew emails uncovered by House Republicans probing the COVID-19 pandemic reveal the deceptive nature of Dr. Anthony Fauci.” In early 2020, Fauci commissioned a paper to “disprove the theory that the virus leaked from a lab in Wuhan, China.” You can read the opinion editorial here: https://nypost.com/2023/03/05/new-emails-show-fauci-commissioned-paper-to-disprove-wuhan-lab-leak-theory/ 3:30pm- Appearing on Fox News with Maria Bartiromo, Congressman Jim Jordan (R-OH) addressed allegations that Dr. Anthony—as Director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Disease—pushed researchers to disprove the laboratory leak theory. Rep. Jordan called for greater transparency immediately. 3:40pm- While speaking with Margaret Brennan, former FDA Commissioner Dr. Scott Gottlieb said, “I think we should work under the assumption that there is a probability [the COVID-19 pandemic] was a lab leak…we ought to look into outlawing that kind of research…or conduct it in… high security labs.” 3:50pm- Former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo told Fox News' Shannon Bream that he has no doubt that COVID-19 originated from a laboratory leak in Wuhan, China and accused Dr. Anthony Fauci of being “complicit” in its cover-up. 4:05pm- Speaking at the 2023 Conservative Political Action Coalition (CPAC) taking place outside of Washington, D.C., former President Donald Trump referred to the World Health Organization (WHO) as “We Hide Outbreaks.” Trump also told members of the press that China needs to be held accountable for the COVID-19 outbreak, accusing China of costing the world economy an estimated $50 trillion in economic growth. 4:10pm- On Sunday, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis spoke at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library in Ventura, California.
