Saving the World 🛟🌎
Trump could be the president to finally get the best of Vladimir Putin
True colors: The U.S. hit back at Iran for violating the ceasefire and attacking tankers in the Strait of Hormuz.
Laughable: The Iranians asked for a week to bury their ayatollah — we gave it to them and got played for suckers. Time for a disproportionate response that the world sees — anything less is American weakness.
The Wall Street Journal: “U.S. Revokes Waiver Allowing Sale of Iranian Oil”
The show goes on📺: Most of our producing team is evacuated because of the building “collapse” in NYC
🗺️Tonight’s show will be anchored in D.C., produced from many of our team’s laptops and homes, and controlled and edited in Chicago — the show goes on!
Please forgive an abbreviated “War Notes” as I am helping the team.
Socialist reality⚠️: 900 New York City schools have less than half of their kids performing at grade-level
What I am thinking💭: They are too busy getting taught about families with three dads.
Birds of a feather🦚: Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson and NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani both say the answer to the education problem is more money to the teacher unions that keep failing our kids
Look back🔙: Good public education created America’s economic boom — that is now in grave danger
The modern socialists are no different than those of the past who gained power promising to fight for the working man — only to enjoy the riches of power on their backs.
History repeating itself?🔃: Democrats are still paying for lying about President Biden’s health, and Republicans are making the same mistake.
🏥Republican Senator Mitch McConnell, once the Senate majority leader, has been in the hospital for three weeks now — and we have no idea why and how he is doing.
He was admitted on June 14
And for three weeks, nobody can tell us if he is coherent.
📰The New York Times headlines, “McConnell Has Been Hospitalized for 3 Weeks, and Aides Won’t Say Why”
This is the hubris that undermines faith in our democracy
Tonight📺: Former Pennsylvania Republican Congressman Charlie Dent on why we will never have term or age limits.
Trump’s Real Legacy Moment‼️
‼️Donald Trump could be the president to finally get the best of Vladimir Putin
KGB man🕵️: Putin played Bush, Obama and Biden — and he loves manipulating Trump
Moment⌚: No American president has been to a NATO summit with the Russian president on the ropes.
The war in Ukraine is a disaster — Ukraine is winning
Fuel shortages at home have Russians fighting at gas stations
Massive battlefield losses and returning body bags with nothing to show for it
Option⚠️: As we’ve told you for more than a month — Putin might escalate to deescalate
📰The Wall Street Journal headlines, “Putin May See an Opportunity to Destroy NATO”
Decision👀: Trump can either follow his instincts and trash NATO, thereby helping Putin, or he can be unpredictable and reinforce NATO, thus further isolating Putin.
Tomorrow ▶️: The Trump-Zelenskyy meeting tomorrow will show us what path Trump chooses.
📰The Wall Street Journal writes, “Trump to Meet with Zelensky as Russia-Ukraine Battlefield Remains ‘Frozen’”
Legit‼️: Trump’s grievances with NATO — especially over the Iran war — deserve answers
Watch tonight📺: Bill O’Reilly on the danger of showing Putin weakness.
Bonus➕: Bill said people should stop complaining about the economy and just invest in the stock market.
Cake Anyone?
Why Should Platner Drop Out❓
📺Here is something nobody is saying on cable TV — Graham Platner should stay in the race.
🗳️Seriously! 156,000 Maine voters wanted him as the Democratic nominee, so why should Amy Klobuchar’s opinion matter?
👋Democrats are now abandoning Maine’s oysterman, Nazi-enthusiast, and now-alleged rapist Graham Platner because they think he’s going to lose
It’s not because of the sexual assault allegation that came out yesterday against Platner
But because he is going to lose because of the claims
There’s a difference there…
Look back🔙: The same people saying Platner needs to drop out now, loved Platner when he had a Nazi tattoo and fantasized online about rape
Shocker🤦: If you fantasized about rape online, you might have raped someone…
Must read📰: The New York Times headlines, “Lessons From the Graham Platner Disaster,” writing:
“Maine Democrats were willing to overlook Platner’s Totenkopf tattoo, his terrible Reddit posts and his sexting with other women while he was married because they felt so invigorated by him and the movement he was creating. They went out on a limb for him, and he had every reason to know it was going to be sawed off.”
SPARE ME🤦: This is the same New York Times that labeled one of his accusers a Republican operative and downplayed the accusations of his rape accuser.
📰Now The Washington Post has more — “Ex-girlfriend of Graham Platner says he removed condoms without consent”
🤷Would any man let Platner date his sister? No? Then why would you want him to be senator?
Say it together🗣️: This is not a surprise — but Democrats excused other bad behavior because Platner could win.
Now‼️: Reportedly, Platner is “negotiating” to see who replaces him
“Mr. Platner, who has denied the allegation, said on a private call with his campaign staff on Monday evening that he believed he still had leverage to influence which candidate would replace him on the ticket, according to three people familiar with the conversation. On the call, he did not announce plans to withdraw but implied such a decision would be coming, the people said,” writes The New York Times.
Irony alert🚨: The guy is an accused rapist and is trying to negotiate the terms… really?
What I’m thinking💭: Would Democrats like if Brett Kavanaugh got to negotiate who would take over his Supreme Court seat?
Sad but true‼️: But Platner should stay — this will blow over. After the July 13th deadline, Democrats won’t have a choice but to support him.
Proof☑️: Democrats like Yemisi Egbewole warned about Platner and got trashed across the progressive media
Tonight📺: Yemisi Egbewole, Meghan Hays and Michael Shepherd on the divide and fight inside the Democratic Party.
Reality‼️: This might just work out for the Democratic Party — replacing Platner will give them a better shot at winning in a state Harris won by 7.
Extra innings🗣️: Tonight is the Michigan Senate debate —
Abdul El-Sayed will almost certainly win the primary
Moral clarity📱: Here is an example of the senator from Beirut’s leadership on Platner
More➕: For a guy who claims to be a doctor he is awfully forgetful
Glad to see Trump revoked waivers and hit Iran again. He should keep going. Like he should bring NATO around
We'll see you at 9pm on NewsNation
