Net Zero was once a radical idea. Now it's both an accepted global target, and an increasingly toxic political faultline.This week, Tom is back from the UN General Assembly and New York Climate week, where António Guterres used his last speech as UN Secretary-General to call for every country to set a timeline for quitting fossil fuels. But around the world, politicians are turning against the very idea. In Britain, a committee of MPs now wants the government to stop saying "net zero" altogether. Should the climate movement let the phrase go, or will its opponents simply come for whatever replaces it?Christiana Figueres and Paul chat to Professor Phil Taylor, Vice-Chancellor of the University of Bath and a member of the government's Net Zero Innovation Board. Phil grew up in a North East England still living with the fallout of its last industrial transition. He warns that the cheapest, easiest progress has already been made. And so far the households gaining the most from the energy transition are the ones who can afford the shift. So, with energy bills set to rise again, what happens when a shift sold as painless starts to hurt? And can politicians be honest about the costs and still win?Outrage + Optimism will be live at Bath Abbey on 14 October, after this summer's extreme heat forced the original event to be cancelled.

Last week, WWF hosted its first-ever Panda House, a full day of panel sessions during Climate Week NYC — the annual gathering timed to coincide with the UN General Assembly, where leaders from across the climate and conservation world come together to debate ideas and push for action. In this special recap episode, host Seth Larson and WWF's Sarah Wilson bring you inside Panda House, with a series of short conversations recorded live between panel sessions. The day's discussions spanned carbon markets, tropical forest protection, and ocean conservation, but one theme ran through the day: finance. In other words, how do we raise the funds required to conserve nature at scale? In this episode you'll hear from: Andrew Deutz, WWF's Managing Director of Global Policy and Partnerships, about the newly released Financing Nature 2026 report that WWF co-released with The Nature Conservancy and the Paulson Institute; Stephanie Cappa, WWF's Director of Policy and Government Affairs, about the Tropical Forest Forever Facility; and John Morton, WWF's Executive Managing Director for Nature Finance & Investment, about carbon markets, how Climate Week has changed over the years, and what gives him hope for the future. Together, these conversations offer a snapshot of where the nature finance conversation stands today, and what it will take to close the gap between what's being spent and what's actually needed.

RNZ Pacific correspondent Johnny Blades looks at how Pacific nations used their speeches at the UN General Assembly in New York.
What happens when the United Nations sends an official warning letter directly to The Israel Guys? And why is Israel's presence in Judea and Samaria at the center of the controversy? Ari Abramowitz and Jeremy Gimpel, along with Luke Hilton and Josh Waller, sit down for a wide-ranging discussion about the latest developments surrounding Israel, the United Nations, and the growing international pressure surrounding Judea and Samaria. They discuss the official letter The Israel Guys received from the UN Human Rights Office regarding its database of businesses and organizations connected to Israeli settlements, the UN General Assembly and world leaders' statements about Israel, recent terrorism and anti-Israel narratives, and what all of this means for those standing with Israel from the heart of Judea. In this episode: -The official UN letter sent to The Israel Guys -The UN database concerning businesses connected to Israeli settlements -Why Judea and Samaria are at the center of international pressure -The latest UN General Assembly discussions surrounding Israel -Netanyahu, world leaders, and the competing narratives at the UN -The ongoing debate over “settler violence” and terrorism -The biblical and historical significance of Judea and Samaria -Israel, the Golan Heights, and the changing international conversation -Why The Israel Guys are continuing to speak about Israel from the land itself -The future of The Israel Guys and their new studio in Judea The battle over Israel is not taking place only on the ground. It is also being fought through international institutions, media narratives, and the stories the world chooses to believe. From the hills of Judea, The Israel Guys continue to document what is happening, challenge anti-Israel narratives, and connect people around the world with the land and people of Israel.

At a meeting in Beijing with the president of the Japanese Association for the Promotion of International Trade in Beijing, senior Chinese diplomat Wang Yi urged Japan to correct the erroneous words and deeds of its leaders on the Taiwan question as soon as possible (02:56). The UN Security Council heard a briefing on increasing settler violence and demolitions in the occupied West Bank on the final day of the UN General Assembly's high-level week in New York (19:45). China's civil aviation sector is bracing for the seven-day National Day holiday travel rush (25:03).
In today's episode of Trending Middle East, five people arrested on suspicion of a terrorism plot near the UK's Fairford airbase are released on bail, after experts find no traces of explosives. Authorities say the suspects remain under investigation, while Iran denies any involvement. Israel condemns the Netherlands' ban on imports of goods from Israeli settlements in occupied Palestinian territories, while the US repeats that it opposes any Israeli annexation of the occupied West Bank. The UAE uses its UN General Assembly address to call for de-escalation and diplomacy, urging countries to “build rather than destroy”. President Sheikh Mohamed and Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed, Crown Prince of Dubai, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Defence, attend the launch of Etihad Rail's new station in Dubai. The President travelled on the Etihad train from Abu Dhabi before the service's official launch. And Egypt football coach Hossam Hassan walks back several comments that sparked criticism after the Pharaohs' goalless draw with Angola, amid Mohamed Salah's departure from the national team camp. Trending Middle East is AI-assisted, using original reporting published in The National and curated and edited by humans.
Twenty-seven people were killed in two mass shootings in a single weekend, and the DA's Lisa Schickerling wanted to know where the police were. She told Chris Steyn why growing criminal networks had to be dismantled, and why the leadership of the private security regulator, raided by the SIU and the Hawks in a R130m training-contract probe, should have been placed on precautionary suspension to protect the process. Speaking the day after Donald Trump's 22 September address to the UN General Assembly, former Eskom grid chief Andy Calitz traced how energy infrastructure became a military target, from Ukraine's power grid to the Strait of Hormuz, and explained why the threats against Iran sent shudders down his back. Jasmine Opperman asked who was watching South Africa's spies with the Inspector-General of Intelligence suspended, and Helen Zille explained why a DA-run Joburg would look like an empty plot for months before anything rose out of the ground. Reuters rounded off with the latest from Wall Street.
During last week's UN General Assembly sessions, President Trump and Iran's President Masoud Pezeshkian were among the speakers, though the two did not directly engage in peace discussions. First Coast Military Life host Col. Chris Budihas (ret) looks at the latest developments in peace discussions, what (if anything?) was accomplished with last week's UN sessions. Hear more with Col. Budihas on First Coast Military Life, every Sunday at 8am.

Are you enjoying this? Are you not? Tell us what to do more of, and what you'd like to hear less of. The Reykjavík Grapevine's Iceland Roundup brings you the top news with a healthy dash of local views. In this episode, Grapevine publisher Jón Trausti Sigurðarson is joined by Heimildin journalist Aðalsteinn Kjartansson and Grapevine friend and contributor Sindri Eldon to round up the stories making headlines in recent weeks. On the docket this week is:[00:09:12] A Twitch Star Disrupts Idyllic ReykjavíkSome dude from New York, a 25-year-old called Kai Cenat, who apparently has millions of followers on something called Twitch, disrupted life in downtown Reykjavík this weekend when he was livestreaming his visit there. Hundreds of teenagers, who we suppose follow Cenat on Twitch, showed up to mob him, and someone stole Cenat's hat. Furthermore, over the weekend, a new series of The Four Seasons was being shot in Iceland, and according to local production company True North, they employed over 100 people to facilitate the production.[00:16:15] Foreign Minister Þorgerður Katrín Gunnarsdóttir's Speech At The UN On SaturdayIceland's Foreign Minister Þorgerður Katrín Gunnarsdóttir spoke at the UN General Assembly on Saturday in a speech that has gone, as they say, viral. On the previous day, Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu spoke, and while he did so, the majority of UN delegates left the hall. To which Netanyahu responded by saying, “If there are any other moral cowards who haven't left the hall, please do so now.” Iceland's delegation did not leave the hall and received some criticism for not having done so in solidarity with those nations whose representatives did. However, Þorgerður Katrín did respond in her speech, and without naming names said, “We have heard the words ‘moral cowards' from this podium. To me, moral cowards are those leaders of the world who refuse to sit down and negotiate a just and lasting peace. Those leaders who deny access to humanitarian aid for people in desperate need. And moral cowards are those leaders of the world who repeatedly go against and disrespect international law.”[00:24:12] Six Days Of Inga Sæland As PMWhile Foreign Minister Þorgerður Katrín Gunnarsdóttir and Prime Minister Kristrún Frostadóttir have been attending the UN General Assembly, Inga Sæland, the Chair of the People's Party, has been acting Prime Minister. Her governance of her party was making headlines as her conduct in sidelining then People's Party minister for education Guðmundur Ingi Kristinsson was detailed. Inga then also passed a law to suppress a strike by aircraft mechanics, which had at that point already disrupted Icelandair's flight schedule. This does beg the question to what extent the People's Party is actually just a single person's party, namely that of Inga Sæland.[00:31:48] Unlikely That Iceland Will Be “Carbon-Neutral” As Planned, By 2040On Tuesday last week, Minister of the Environment, Energy and Climate of Iceland Jóhann Páll Jóhannesson issued new numbers on Iceland's greenhouse gas emissions. Iceland's emissions have gone down by 3.9% in the past year, but the minister is pessimistic about Iceland meeting its 2030 emission target of 41% lower emissions than in 2005, and thinks it is impossible that this government's goal of carbon neutrality by 2040 will be met. He also pointed out that what carbon neutrality means by law has never been defined.[00:37:58] New Tourism TaxFrom June 1 next year, tourists visiting the Golden Circle will be taxed about 4,500 ISK (around 37 USD) each. Through this, the state hopes to collect more than 5 billion ISK next year. Unsurprisingly, tourism companies object to the new tax. The idea is that the tax will be used to pay for infrastructure maintenance.------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------SHOW SUPPORTSupport The Reykjavík Grapevine's reporting by becoming a subscriber at https://www.grapevine.is/subscribe - We are also a printed magazine.

Republicans are hinging their midterm, election hopes, in part, on a massive cash infusion into tight races around the country, but will it be enough to carry their candidates over the finish line? Meanwhile, President Trump meets with foreign leaders at the UN General Assembly and welcomes China's President Xi Jinping to The White House for the first time in over a decade. And a judge lifts The White House's ban on access for several media outlets, as legacy news organizations say the President's policy is an infringement on the free press.

As President Trump addresses the UN General Assembly and hosts Chinese leader Xi Jinping, Pulitzer Prize-winning historian Anne Applebaum explains how an alliance of ideologues and kleptocrats is reshaping U.S. foreign policy. She assesses prospects for ending the wars in Iran and Ukraine and examines the administration's approach to Venezuela and Cuba.Applebaum argues that ideological and corrupt financial interests are transforming America's role in the world. She suggests that nuclear nonproliferation offers a framework for working with China and other adversaries to curb the dangers of artificial intelligence, argues Trump's White House ballroom should be torn down after he leaves office, and reflects on whether America can regain the trust of its allies.Support for Firing Line with Margaret Hoover is provided by Robert Granieri, Vanessa and Henry Cornell, The Margaret and Daniel Loeb Foundation, The Beth and Ravenel Curry Foundation, Cliff and Laurel Asness, The Meadowlark Foundation, The Philip I Kent Foundation, Anne & Edward Lamont, and Jared Stone.
As prices continue to affect millions of Americans struggling to afford gas and groceries, recent news suggests a major economic event may be coming. Glenn explains what's happening with our economy, America's debt, and how it affects interest rates. In some good news, Glenn plays a video of a once-homeless pianist, Rhys Wynne-Jones, returning to a charity event to play "Bohemian Rhapsody" on the piano. Everybody has heard the slogan for State Farm Insurance, but Glenn shares how the insurance began with farmers who helped each other out in times of struggle. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu gave a speech at the United Nations, and multiple delegates walked out. Glenn explains how the world's treatment of Israel is all part of a biblical prophecy. Host of "We'll Do It Live" Bill O'Reilly joins to discuss his latest book, "Confronting America: What Has to Change," and the issues facing America ahead of the midterm elections. Glenn and Bill also discuss the hit piece about them from CNN's Jake Tapper. Rapper Macklemore has now announced a pro-Palestine tour after being removed from Ed Sheeran's tour. Was this Macklemore's plan all along? Glenn reacts to Judge Judy telling people who hate America to leave. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
Tech billionaires join Donald Trump and Xi Jinping for dinner at the White House at the end of the first full day of the Chinese President's visit to the US. Mr Xi said that in their discussions earlier, he and his host had reached "common understanding on many issues" but didn't elaborate. No concrete breakthroughs have been reported on contentious matters such as Iran and AI. Also: Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu fiercely defends military action in the Middle East to a half empty UN General Assembly. Earlier, the Palestinian leader told the same gathering Israel was threatening his people's existence. The Italian government approves a ban on the burqa and niqab in schools. Hundreds of people gather in the Venezuelan capital, Caracas, to call for the return of the exiled opposition figure, Maria Corina Machado. The eviction of an 87-year-old in Spain triggers angry protests and put the country's housing crisis under the spotlight. And new research on how well dogs can understand the human language.

Day 1,671.Today, as the UN General Assembly in New York winds down, secretary-general Antonio Guterres was all smiles and handshakes for Russia's foreign minister. Ukraine lets Donald Trump know quite how seriously they take his warnings these days by attacking at least two more oil refineries inside Russia. Meanwhile, the Kremlin shows how seriously it is pursuing peace by dropping high explosive on a medical centre, farm workers and a 14 year old boy. And Britain quietly announces it is cutting the money used to support Ukrainian families that have fled the bloodshed. And later, a dispatch from Francis's recent trip to Germany where he toured the Ukraine Museum in Berlin.Contributors:Dominic Nicholls (Host on Ukraine: The Latest). @DomNicholls on X.Adelie Pojzman-Pontay (Host on Ukraine: The Latest). @Adeliepjz on X.Francis Dearnley (Host on Ukraine: The Latest). @FrancisDearnley on X.With thanks to Enno Lenze, Berlin Ukraine Museum curator.Producer: Rachel PorterSenior Producer: Lilian FawcettVideo Producer: Sophie O'SullivanSocial Producer: Tom SteedStudio Director: Meghan SearleExecutive Editor: Francis DearnleyCreated by David KnowlesNOW IN FULL VIDEO WITH MAPS & BATTLEFIELD FOOTAGE:Every episode is now available on our YouTube channel shortly after the release of the audio version.

At this week's UN General Assembly, President Trump threatened to “annihilate” Iran, and defended a worldview where, as he put it, “to the victor belong the spoils.” But behind the scenes in New York, diplomacy is also underway. Top US and Iranian officials have held their first talks since the June ceasefire unraveled, mediated by Qatar. And Doha is also at the center of efforts over Gaza, from the Board of Peace to questions over its past funding of Hamas. Christiane Amanpour spoke with Qatar's prime minister, Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman al Thani in New York. Also on today's show: NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte; Alon Shaya, Author, "Memories of a Good Meal" Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
Seven months into the largest oil supply disruption in history, there's still no resolution in sight. This week, on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly, US and Iranian officials held their first indirect talks since the Memorandum of Understanding collapsed in July—but neither side appears ready for concessions. Energy flows through the Strait of Hormuz remain contested and hard to track. A US blockade has pushed Iranian crude exports close to zero, while naval escorts and dark transits near the Omani coast have allowed a partial, volatile recovery in flows from Arab Gulf states—still well below pre-war levels. Attacks on shipping continue, and the Houthis have opened a new front against Saudi Arabia, choking flows through the Bab al-Mandab and striking key infrastructure like the East-West pipeline. Brent crude sits at $105 a barrel, below April's $126 peak, but that headline number masks just how tight markets really are: diesel is over $6.50 per gallon in the US, up 85% from pre-war levels; tanker rates are 20 times normal; and markets are visibly scrambling for crude. Meanwhile Republican senators from US farm states are pushing for a diesel export ban, and the Trump administration is reportedly considering it over objections from members of his cabinet. How much crude is actually flowing through the Strait of Hormuz. Why is diesel the most acute pressure point in oil markets? What would a US diesel export ban mean? And why have tanker rates gone stratospheric? Today on the Iran Conflict Brief, Daniel Sternoff talks with Jan Stuart, global energy strategist at Piper Sandler. Jan has built leading energy franchises at Credit Suisse, Macquarie, and UBS, was a journalist in the 1990s, and began his career at the International Energy Agency in Paris.

Xi Jinping said the US and China should avoid being drawn into a “conflict” in remarks at the White House, and Brussels has warned Britain needs to raise tariffs on Chinese cars if it wants to avoid barriers that would hit crucial exports. Plus, dozens of foreign officials walked out of the UN General Assembly as Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu began his address, and the FT's Kate Duguid explains what the bond market sell-off means for US mortgage rates and the health of the economy.Mentioned in this podcast:Xi Jinping says US and China must ‘coexist in peace' in historic White House visitUS mortgage rates breach 7% as affordability pressures mount EU urges UK to raise tariffs on Chinese cars to avoid ‘made in Europe' barriersSubway rival bets hot sandwiches will sell in UK's ‘cold and rain'Credit: United Nations, White HouseWant to get in touch?

This week, Scott sat down with his Lawfare colleagues Executive Editor Natalie Orpett and Public Service Fellow Julia Curlee to talk through the week's big news in national security, including:"The Xi-Quel." This week, Chinese President Xi Jinping arrives in Washington for a three-day state visit—his first to the U.S. capital in more than a decade, and the second Trump-Xi summit of 2026 after the president's own trip to Beijing in May. The pageantry will be considerable: Trump plans to greet Xi personally at Joint Base Andrews, followed by a Rose Garden honor guard, a bilateral meeting, and a state dinner. But the substance is heavier than the ceremony. With a 90-day tariff truce set to expire on November 10, China's rare-earth export controls hanging over global supply chains, a pending $14 billion arms package for Taiwan, and questions about Beijing's economic lifeline to Iran, the two leaders face a crowded and contentious agenda. What can we actually expect from this summit? Is anyone anticipating a breakthrough—or just a managed continuation of what one analyst called a “managed stalemate”?"A Fjord in the Road." On Friday, President Trump announced that the United States, Denmark, and Greenland had reached an agreement giving Washington what he described as “permanent control over security, and all other needs” in Greenland—capping a year of tension in which Trump had repeatedly threatened to take the Arctic island by economic or even military force. Denmark and Greenland insist the deal respects Greenlandic sovereignty and territorial integrity even as it clears the way for a major expansion of the U.S. military footprint and bars adversaries like Russia and China from establishing bases or making “sensitive investments” there without U.S. approval. Does the deal really give Trump the “permanent control” he is touting? And how did a standoff that once looked like an existential crisis for a NATO ally end up here?"Contempt of Court." World leaders are gathering in New York this week for the annual high-level session of the UN General Assembly. In his speech before the body, President Trump reiterated a number of standard talking points, notably claiming to be a peacemaker even as he again threatened Iran with annihilation. But his administration may be planning something more dramatic: according to the Wall Street Journal and Reuters, the administration has drafted sanctions measures targeting the entire International Criminal Court—not just individual judges and prosecutors, as before—that could aim to cut the Hague-based tribunal off from the global financial system. The implications reach well beyond The Hague, raising hard questions about the weaponization of dollar dominance and the geoeconomic fallout for the banks, contractors, and allied governments that deal with the court. What is Washington trying to accomplish at Turtle Bay—and at what cost?In object lessons, Natalie, following in the footsteps of others before, has found a heartwarming use for AI, relatively speaking. Scott continues to nerd out over treaty law and the museums that love it. And Julia has a slightly less uplifting AI story—but one that could come with merch!To receive ad-free podcasts, become a Lawfare Material Supporter at www.patreon.com/lawfare.

AI safety has dominated the news cycle for weeks, precipitated in part by an AI attack where a bunch of OpenAI's agents teamed up and hacked another AI platform, Hugging Face, without humans knowing. Since then, multiple AI researchers have come forward to say they're worried this tech is unsafe. It seems every day there's a new development: another warning from an AI researcher, an admission from a top lab that their AI systems breached another company, reassurances from CEOs. AI safety is even on the agenda for the UN General Assembly meeting this week. So how do we make sense of what's happening in AI research right now?Flora sits down with two researchers focusing on the engineering of AI safety: Andrea Lincoln, who studies how to mathematically understand the internal processes of AI models; and cryptographer Vinod Vaikuntanathan, who researches trust and security concerns in AI models.GUESTS:Dr. Vinod Vaikuntanathan is a cryptographer at MIT and a founding member of the Institute for Responsible Superintelligence. Dr. Andrea Lincoln is a professor of computer science at Boston University and an advisory board member for The Alignment Project at the AI Security Institute.Image credit: Deborah Lupton / https://betterimagesofai.org / https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/Transcripts for each episode are available within 1-3 days at sciencefriday.com.

Asha Rangappa, Stuart Stevens, and Jasmine Wright join Harry to break down cratering Republican poll numbers, Trump's quixotic media ban, Susan Collin's quid-pro-quo scandal, and the news out of the UN General Assembly. Are polls showing a lopsided Democratic advantage to be believed? How is the allegation of a pay-to-play donation scheme changing the Maine Senate race? And hasn't Trump's move to ban a trio of outlets from the White House just cost him the attention he craves and requires?

Plus, President Trump welcomes Chinese leader Xi Jinping to the White House with an extravagant ceremony. National security reporter Robbie Gramer discusses the leaders' friendly tone at this morning's joint address, and what lies ahead in the talks. And Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu made a defiant speech to the United Nations General Assembly, which highlighted his growing isolation on the world stage. Alex Ossola hosts.

Today's Headlines: On the second day of the UN General Assembly, Zelensky called on the world to stop buying Russian oil to pressure Putin into ending the war, Venezuela's acting president-puppet Delcy Rodriguez promised elections "soon," and AI executives appealed to the UN Security Council for global cooperation on AI risks. Xi Jinping then visited Washington for a state visit complete with a red carpet, military flyover, and a Melania appearance, with Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent announcing on Fox News that the US is extending the trade war truce while adding "I don't know whether a bigger deal can be done, I don't know whether we will just roll the current deal," which is a remarkable display of strategic clarity from the person managing the US economy. Trump invited Putin to the G-20 summit at his own Florida resort in December — Putin was kicked out of the G8 in 2014 for invading Crimea — and the original architect of Trump's White House ballroom revealed he resigned after Trump insisted building codes don't apply because "I am the code." Trump also wants to rename Ford's Theatre — where Lincoln was assassinated — after himself, as part of a broader building-renaming effort that is going exactly as well as the reflecting pool. In other crazy news, Tommy Tuberville gave a 20-minute Senate floor speech warning that airline pilots might have a "deranged fetish of dressing up like an animal," claiming significant overlap between gender-confused people and the furry community, and advocating for bringing back mental institutions — all from a man currently running for governor of Alabama and likely to win. And finally, DoorDash settled with New York City for $131 million after underpaying 264,000 workers, which explains why DoorDash spent nearly $1.5 million opposing Zohran Mamdani in last year's mayoral race.

Xi Jinping comes to Washington, the UN struggles for relevancy, and the Russian parliamentary elections turn out exactly as expected.Tommy and Ben break down Chinese President Xi Jinping's first state visit to Washington since 2015, including Trump's personal airport greeting, and what leverage China has on everything from AI to rare earths to Iran. Then a new list of disturbing AI headlines: a Bloomberg investigation on how AI-assisted targeting contributed to the US strike on an Iranian elementary school, a CNN report on how AI nearly triggered a war with China, and the Israeli election is being flooded with AI-generated slop. It's also UN General Assembly week in New York, where Trump met with Zohran Mamdani, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, and threatened Iran. The Houthis keep expanding their military campaign in Yemen, attacking Riyadh and Saudi oil facilities, and Trump can't seem to decide whether to help the Saudis or not. Russian parliamentary elections are setting Vladimir Putin's party up for its largest majority ever. The far-right AfD wins again in two more German regional elections, and Ben and Tommy give some thoughts on Trump's arch and the Pentagon's height and weight requirements. At the end of the show Ben speaks to Maher Bitar, executive director of National Security Action, about new polling that reveals why foreign policy is on the ballot in the midterms.Hate listening to ads?

President Donald Trump is set to address the UN General Assembly this morning. Here's what we think it might look like. Democrat Senate candidate James Talarico is trying to insert himself into the Austin ICE shooting. Too bad he has to lie to make it work. A new poll shows that the Left has become increasingly okay with political violence. Who saw that coming? President Trump has told CNN, MS Now, and Politico they are no longer welcome in the White House. Maybe he has a point.
