Chris Christie and Rudy Giuliani are here awaiting Trump presser.
Trump: "I'm sort of waiting for the New York Times and The Washington Post, ABC, CBS NBC, CNN MSDNC--I'm waiting for them to endorse me."
Trump complains about critiques of ACB's Catholicism, and he says "I thought we settled this 60 years ago with the election of John F. Kennedy."
Trump says it was DNC and Democrats who were in cahoots with Russia. "Related or unrelated hunter," he adds, "Hunter Biden got $3.5 million dollars from the wife of the mayor of Moscow."
Trump on Democrats and mail-in ballots: "They can't run a simple caucus. Yet now they're trying to radically rewrite election laws nationwide, just weeks before the presidential election."
Trump: "You can forget about November third. You're going to be counting these things forever."
Trump says that Democrats know "the extreme changes" in election law benefit them. He adds that "they go into closed rooms and they must laugh like hell."

"This is not a payment or any kind of ransom," John Kirby says of the $6 billion released to Iran in exchange for the release of American citizens.

He notes that the money isn't coming from taxpayers and it's not sanction relief.
Kirby adds that:
-It's not American money
-Funds are monitored and not available all at once
-Iranian people will be recipients, not the regime
"They will get five Iranians as well."

The Tucker Carlson news isn't just a media story. It significantly changes the GOP 2024 primary overnight. abcnews.go.com/US/tucker-carl…
Tucker went where other journalists were too squeamish to go.

He pressed the gender identity question, objecting also to GOP sacred cows on foreign policy and trade.

That is, Tucker asked questions the conservative base cares about.
Who got the entire GOP field on the record on the Ukraine question? It wasn't the New York Times. They were running write-ups of his show. nytimes.com/2023/03/13/us/…

The president told me yesterday that the 2022 midterms "easily could be illegitimate." He added also "I’m not going to say it’s going to be legit."
I was following up on an excellent question asked first by @allison__news. Screen shots of both our questions below: ImageImageImage

The Virginia governor's race is quite the mile marker given that a decade ago Mitch Daniels was calling for a "truce" on social issues in order to focus on "the red menace" of debt and deficits.
The argument social conservatives are making inside the GOP is 1) It was always a one sided truce, 2) they were never the aggressors, but regardless, 3) following Youngkin's lead on culture wars will lead to wins in 2022. realclearpolitics.com/articles/2021/…
This quote from @Schilling1776 whose group is pushing the GOP off the sidelines is instructive of how social conservatives see things. He tells me, "this is the Tea Party but for families. They attacked the one thing people care about more than money: Our families."

Reporter asking Education Secretary to give an update on the proposal "to teach more Black history in schools" questions the affect of "Republican backlash over that."
Read that critical race theory.
Cardona says that he "always" trusts educators "to make sure that our curriculum promotes the beautiful diversity of this country."

The controversy, the secretary says, is "another example of something that's become politicized."
Is the proposal still on track? Cardona, despite the DOE dropping references to CRT, says "yeah, the priorities are still what they are. I think, for us, the way we put it forward, allows districts to—and states—to put in their proposals and how they want to teach it."

Love him or hate him, Josh Hawley offers the clearest case as to why conservatives are wary of critical race theory. Read our sit down interview: realclearpolitics.com/articles/2021/…
The thing that gets lost in all this talk about culture war? Republicans and conservatives aren't the aggressors. At least, so says Hawley.
Hawley was editor of the Yale Law Review then taught at the University of Missouri. He's spent time studying critical theory.

His definition of CRT as it applies to the current fight? Anything that castigates "America as an inherently racist and evil nation.”
