What was discussed
Trump administration appeals to block mail-in voting1:10
- Nicolle Wallaceassertion
The Justice Department filed another emergency appeal with the Supreme Court to lift a temporary order blocking the Postal Service from implementing Donald Trump's desired executive order to curb mail-in ballots.
- Ian Bassinopinion
This is an act of desperation and weakness; they know they're losing these cases in the lower courts and have a terrible track record.
- Andrew Weissmanspeculation
There is a chance the Supreme Court will do something crazy, and if they lose, the DOJ will claim there is fraud and take steps like seizing ballots because the courts prevented them from protecting mail-in voting.
DHS expands search for non-citizens on voter rolls2:05
- Nicolle Wallaceassertion
DHS is rapidly expanding its push to hunt down examples of non-citizens who appear on the voter rolls, but so far they're only finding a handful of possible cases to investigate.
- Unnamed DHS spokespersonclip
They're actively rooting out and investigating election fraud wherever it can be found.
Trump's voter suppression strategy backfires8:03
- Reverend Al Sharptonopinion
Donald Trump's election strategy is to stop people from voting, which makes people vote, and he hasn't given his people or the American public a motivation to vote because of gas prices, inflation, and a war with no exit.
Michael Cohen reportedly recants testimony against Trump20:01
- Donald Trumpclip
Michael Cohen has just fully recanted his testimony, and he was pressured and coerced to say things that were not true.
- Andrew Weissmanspeculation
Michael Cohen faces real potential liability for perjury for lying to a federal judge, which would be the reason for this to be a false recantation.
- Reverend Al Sharptonopinion
I wasn't surprised when I heard he was doing this recanting because I sensed he was more trying to get back with Daddy; he had a real love for Donald Trump.
Trump appoints Adam Tell as acting Army secretary30:07
- Nicolle Wallaceassertion
Donald Trump has named Adam Tell, an official who oversees the Army Corps of Engineers, as acting Army secretary after the sudden resignation of Army Secretary Dan Driscoll.
Trump and Vance downplay Iran conflict as not a war31:38
- JD Vanceclip
Major combat operations are currently not ongoing, and I wouldn't call it a war right now; there is no active shooting.
- Donald Trumpclip
A lot of people don't call it a war, I call it a military conflict because it's small potatoes for us.
- Mark Hertlingopinion
It's a pretty dumb debate; you tell the 50,000 individuals in the Middle East or their families they're not in a war and they would all disagree.
- Tom Nicholsopinion
When you're fighting another state and pummeling their military forces while they strike back, that's war, and Iran is achieving its strategic objectives while the U.S. is not.
Iran widens conflict ahead of U.S. midterms37:54
- Politicoclip
Arab diplomats fear Iran is widening the war, and there's no way out, with Iran particularly motivated to increase strikes ahead of the U.S. midterms.
- Mark Hertlingassertion
Our partners in the Middle East are seeing it too, and they don't know what to make of it; when drones or missiles come into their soil, they expect us to do something.
- Tom Nicholsopinion
The war is unpopular and has remained unpopular, and the Iranians are paying attention to that and trying to make it more unpopular because they have nothing to lose.
Judge delays ruling on David Hearne vandalism charges42:19
- Nicolle Wallaceassertion
A judge has not yet ruled on whether the DOJ's vandalism charges against David Hearne can be tossed out without prejudice, which means they could never be brought again.
