Former Vice President and current Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden praised a pro-confederacy group &#8220;who continue to display the Confederate flag&#8221; as &#8220;fine people&#8221; in newly resurfaced video highlighted by the Trump campaign.
The video is significant in large part due to the number of times that Biden has engaged in smearing President Donald Trump with the patently false claim that the president said white supremacists and neo-Nazis were &#8220;very fine people&#8221; in the wake of the Charlottesville tragedy in 2017.
The video of Biden, from 1993, happened during the confirmation hearing of Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg while Biden was representing Delaware in the U.S. Senate.
Biden made the remarks while responding to comments from another Senator on the Judiciary Committee about a speech that Democratic Senator Howell Heflin delivered on the floor of the Senate.
Biden said [emphasis added], &#8220;I, too, heard that speech and, for the public listening to this, the Senator made a very moving and eloquent speech, as a son of the Confederacy, acknowledging that it was time to change and yield to a position that Senator Carol Moseley-Braun raised on the Senate floor, not granting a Federal charter to an organization made up of many fine people who continue to display the Confederate flag as a symbol.&#8221;

Biden has repeatedly lied about remarks that Trump made in the wake of what transpired in Charlottesville in August 2017, falsely claiming that Trump said that there were very fine people on the side of the white supremacists and neo-Nazis.
Biden even launched his campaign on that lie, saying in his campaign launch video:
<blockquote>Charlottesville is also home to a defining moment for this nation in the last few years. It was there on August of 2017 we saw Klansmen and white supremacists and neo-Nazis come out in the open. Their crazed faces, illuminated by torches, veins bulging and bearing the fangs of racism. Chanting the same anti-Semitic bile heard across Europe in the thirties. And they were met by a courageous group of Americans. And a violent clash ensued. And a brave young woman lost her life. And that&#8217;s when we heard the words of the President of the United States that stunned the world and shocked the conscience of this nation. He said there were quote &#8220;some very fine people on both sides.&#8221; Very fine people on both sides? With those words the President of the United States assigned a moral equivalence between those spreading hate and those with the courage to stand against it. And in that moment I knew the threat to this nation was unlike any I had ever seen in my lifetime.</blockquote>
Trump was referring to a group of people who were protesting the removal of a historical monument of Confederate General Robert E. Lee.
Even CNN&#8217;s Jake Tapper, who is a heavily biased critic of the president, admitted earlier this year in response to Biden&#8217;s video that Trump did not call neo-Nazis and white supremacists &#8220;very fine people.&#8221;
In his speech at the time, Trump said:
<blockquote>And you had people – and I’m not talking about the neo-Nazis and the White nationalists, because they should be condemned totally – but you had many people in that group other than neo-Nazis and White nationalists, Okay? And the press has treated them absolutely unfairly. Now, in the other group also, you had some fine people. But you also had troublemakers, and you see them come with the black outfits and with the helmets and with the baseball bats. You had a lot of bad people in the other group.</blockquote>
“He’s not saying that the neo-Nazis and white supremacists are very fine people,” Tapper <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/watch-even-cnns-tapper-admits-trump-didnt-call-neo-ryan-saavedra">said</a>, as he noted that Trump was referring to protesters who did not want Confederate monuments removed and who were separate from the neo-Nazis and white supremacists.
Biden was <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/watch-biden-doubles-down-lie-after-being-ryan-saavedra">confronted</a> by Breitbart&#8217;s Joel Pollak over the false claim and Biden proceeded to explode on Pollak for confronting him on the lie.
Biden, on the other hand, has a history of <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/biden-calls-more-civility-cites-two-pro-james-barrett">praising</a> racist segregationist Democratic Senators, stating that they were very civil.

FBI officials have detained nearly a dozen Saudi nationals and are searching for several others after a member of the Saudi military opened fire on the Naval Air Station (NAS) in Pensacola, Florida, on Friday killing three and wounding several others.
Sources told The Associated Press that three students attended the dinner party, and that one of those students recorded a video of the attacker committing the attack as it happened.
&#8220;Two other Saudi students watched from a car,&#8221; the AP reported. &#8220;Ten Saudi students were being held on the base Saturday while several others were unaccounted for, said the official, who spoke on condition of anonymity after being briefed by federal authorities.&#8221;
President Donald Trump responded to the attack, writing: &#8220;King Salman of Saudi Arabia just called to express his sincere condolences and give his sympathies to the families and friends of the warriors who were killed and wounded in the attack that took place in Pensacola, Florida. The King said that the Saudi people are greatly angered by the barbaric actions of the shooter, and that this person in no way shape or form represents the feelings of the Saudi people who love the American people.&#8221;

CNN noted the gravity of the phone call that Trump had because it was with King Salman not his son, Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman.
&#8220;Compared to Saudi Arabia&#8217;s often glacial standards, the 83-year-old monarch moved with remarkable speed to call Trump,&#8221; CNN <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2019/12/07/world/us-saudi-relationship/index.html">reported</a>. &#8220;The king quickly instructed his own security services to cooperate fully with US investigators into the shooting in which three people were killed at Naval Air Station Pensacola in Florida.&#8221;
The FBI requested more information from the public about the alleged attacker, tweeting: &#8220;The NAS Pensacola shooter is identified as Saudi national Mohammed Alshamrani. Anyone with information regarding his activites is encouraged to call 1-800-CALL-FBI. FBI Jacksonville is not aware of any credible threat toward the Pensacola community at this time.&#8221;
The Daily Wire normally does not publish names and photographs of alleged mass shooters but is doing so in this case since federal law enforcement officials are asking for the public&#8217;s assistance in gathering information about the attacker.

“Major news organizations are now reporting the information that we began to learn earlier this morning that it was a Saudi Arabian military official in Pensacola, in our community for training, who committed these murderous acts and this terrible, terrible violence at NAS Pensacola,” Gaetz said. “I think it’s important for us to know a little bit about why Saudi Arabian officials are in our community.”
“This event represents a serious failure in the vetting process and in the way in which we invite these people into our community,” Gaetz continued. “So today, as we learn more as the investigation continues to unfold … I’m going to be very active in working with the Department of Defense and the Department of State to ensure that we have extreme vetting for the people that come into our country on our bases and in our communities.”
“If this were a murder, it would typically be investigated by NCIS … but this was not a murder,” Gaetz later added. “This was an act of terrorism and as we speak the investigation is being handed over from the NCIS to the FBI, that is the signal that this will now be treated by our government as an act of terrorism, not a murder.”

Rep. Al Green (D-TX) said on Saturday during an interview on MSNBC that President Donald Trump needed to be impeached &#8220;to deal with slavery.&#8221;
Green, who has previously <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/watch-rnc-hammers-democrats-in-new-ad-highlighting-their-words-on-impeachment">stated</a> that Trump must be impeachment or else &#8220;he will get reelected,&#8221; <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/democrats-plot-impeaching-trump-multiple-times-including-if-he-wins-re-election-no-limit-to-the-number-of-times-the-house-can-vote-to-impeach">said</a> this week that there is &#8220;no limit&#8221; to the number of times that Democrats can try to impeach the president.
&#8220;So, I know that you introduced one of those first impeachment resolutions against Trump, and let&#8217;s look at how that went down,&#8221; the MSNBC host said. &#8220;It actually lost 364-58. How do you think this process ends if more evidence is revealed, and are you concerned at all that Americans are having a waning interest as this process drags on?&#8221;
&#8220;Well, it was yesterday in fact that we celebrated in a sense that we had something that was brought to the floor, maybe I shouldn&#8217;t say celebrated. Let me just say that we brought to the floor the articles for vote and we received some 50-plus votes and then the second time some 60 plus and a third time 95 votes,&#8221; Green responded. &#8220;So, I believe that the American people understand that this is something that we must do at this point. I don&#8217;t speak for all of the American people, but a majority seem to think so, and I think that we&#8217;re moving forward in a very cautious and prudent way, which is what is expected, but I also think that if we don&#8217;t include some of the things that are important to people of color then I think that our business won&#8217;t be finished with.&#8221;
&#8220;I do believe, ma&#8217;am, that we have to deal with the original sin,&#8221; Green continued. &#8220;We have to deal with slavery. Slavery was the thing that put all of what President Trump has done lately into motion. It&#8217;s insidious … racism, the president has played on racism and he&#8217;s used that as a weapon to galvanize a base of support to mobilize people.&#8221;
&#8220;We cannot overlook what happened when he came down the escalator and just demeaned people of color when he talked about the s-hole countries,&#8221; Green continued. &#8220;He has found a way to use ugly words to his benefit and to the detriment of the people who are the object of his words. Emily Dickinson said a word is dead when it is said, some say, I say, it just begins to live that day. His words take on life and meaning, and they hurt, and I know the people who are being hurt, and I came to Congress to represent them, and I cannot let it go. So, I appreciate whatever we will do, but until we deal with the issue of invidious discrimination as a relates to [the] LGBTQ community, the anti-Semitism, the racism, the Islamophobia, the transphobia, and also the misogyny that he has exemplified, I don&#8217;t think our work is done.&#8221;

Green sees most things through a racial lens and has gone after his own party in recent days for only having white people included among Democrats&#8217; impeachment experts.
“I rise because I love my country, but I also rise today with heartfelt regrets. It hurts my heart, Mr. Speaker, to see the Judiciary Committee hearing experts on the topic of impeachment — one of the seminal issues of this Congress — hearing experts … and not one person of color among the experts,” Green said. “What subliminal message are we sending to the world when we have experts but not one person of color? Are we saying that there are no people of color who are experts on this topic of impeachment?”
“I refuse to be ignored and taken for granted. I came here to represent the people who are ignored and taken for granted. Not one person of color among the constitutional scholars,” Green continued. “It seems that there’s a desire among some to have the output of people of color without input from the people of color.”

Democrat Congressman Al Green: Trump Must Be Impeached ‘To Deal With Slavery’

Democrat presidential candidate Joe Biden showed that he lacked even basic knowledge about Obamacare — which was passed while he served as vice president in the Obama administration — during an interview with Telemundo, falsely claiming that the law covers illegal aliens.
Biden&#8217;s lack of knowledge about former President Barack Obama&#8217;s so-called signature achievement is concerning considering the fact that the basic facts are laid out on the Obamacare website, which states that the only eligible persons are U.S. citizens, U.S. nationals, and lawfully present immigrants.
The website specifically <a href="https://www.healthcare.gov/immigrants/coverage/">states</a>:
<div id="tab-content">
<blockquote>Undocumented immigrants aren’t eligible to buy Marketplace health coverage, or for premium tax credits and other savings on Marketplace plans. But they may apply for coverage on behalf of documented individuals.</blockquote>
&#8220;Last June when I &#8212; NBC and Telemundo moderated that first debate with you &#8212; I didn&#8217;t &#8212; I don&#8217;t recall your clear answer,&#8221; Jose Diaz-Balart said. &#8220;Under your plan, should &#8212; would the 11, 12 million undocumented immigrants that live in the United States, that have been many for &#8212; generations, would they have access to health insurance?&#8221;
&#8220;Yes,&#8221; Biden responded. &#8220;Yes. They &#8212; they &#8212; if they can buy into the system like everybody else, that&#8217;s like the &#8211;&#8221;
Diaz-Balart fired back, &#8220;Because, you know, in ACA they can&#8217;t.&#8221;
&#8220;Yeah, yeah, I know. Well, they can, that&#8217;s my point,&#8221; Biden falsely claimed. &#8220;They&#8217;d continue to be able to do that.&#8221;
&#8220;They cannot under the &#8212; Obamacare,&#8221; Diaz-Balart tried to get Biden to understand.
Biden responded, &#8220;Well, and that&#8217;s my point. They will, though. They will be able to buy in just like &#8212; look, e &#8212; remember all the talk about how all the &#8212; all &#8212; all &#8212; all the &#8212; the immigration and the flow of people into the country is gonna ruin Social Security, it&#8217;s extended Social Security because people are paying. Undocumenteds [sic] who are working are paying in &#8212; on their paychecks into Social Security. The same exact thing happens in terms of Obamacare, will become Bidencare, which is&#8211; building out Obamacare, making it &#8212; putting more money into Obamacare &#8212; to make it more affordable, number one, and providing a public option. And they&#8217;d be able to buy in just like anyone else could.&#8221;

Biden denied that his son made a lot of money while working in Ukraine and then stated that it was not wrong for his son to be conducting business dealings in countries where Biden was conducting work on behalf of the U.S. government, including Ukraine and China.
After being repeatedly pressed, Diaz-Balart asked, &#8220;Is it wrong?&#8221;
Biden refused to answer the question and instead deflected to attacking President Donald Trump, saying, &#8220;Well, I&#8217;m not &#8212; look, here&#8217;s what I&#8217;m not gonna do. I&#8217;m not gonna &#8212; and I know you&#8217;re not intending to do this, play the game to take the eye off the culprit.

That is &#8212; can you imagine that?

Multiples reports surfaced Friday night stating that six Saudi nationals have been detained for questioning near the Naval Air Station (NAS) in Pensacola, Florida, some who allegedly filmed an alleged member of Saudi military who went on shooting spree at the base earlier in the day.
&#8220;Six other Saudi nationals were detained for questioning near the scene of the shooting, including three who were seen filming the entire incident, according to a person briefed on the initial stages of the investigation,&#8221; The New York Times <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2019/12/06/us/nas-pensacola-shooting.html">reported</a>.
Fox News <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/us/saudis-arrested-questioning-pensacola-shooting">reported</a> that, according to a senior U.S. official, &#8220;the suspects were taken into custody and are being questioned about the shooting.&#8221;
The attacker killed three other people and wounded several others, including two police officers, in what authorities are investigating as a potential act of terrorism. The attacker was killed at the scene.
&#8220;The Pentagon told CBS News that the shooter had been in the country since August 2017 pursuant to a U.S. Air Force Foreign Military Sales training case funded by the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and that he was scheduled to stay until August 2020,&#8221; CBS News <a href="https://www.cbsnews.com/news/pensacola-shooting-today-3-people-killed-shooter-dead-at-florida-navy-base-nas-pensacola-2019-12-06/">reported</a>. &#8220;He was enrolled in English, basic aviation, and initial pilot training at the station, the Pentagon added.&#8221;
Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) said on Friday that the alleged attacker did not commit murder, but an act of terrorism.
“Major news organizations are now reporting the information that we began to learn earlier this morning that it was a Saudi Arabian military official in Pensacola, in our community for training, who committed these murderous acts and this terrible, terrible violence at NAS Pensacola,” Gaetz said. “I think it’s important for us to know a little bit about why Saudi Arabian officials are in our community.”

Six Saudis Taken Into Custody After Saudi Military Member Shoots Up U.S. Military Base, Reports Say

Crime

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau mocked President Donald Trump on Tuesday at a NATO summit in London, saying that Trump&#8217;s team&#8217;s &#8220;jaws drop[ped] to the floor&#8221; after watching the president&#8217;s behavior.
Trudeau&#8217;s mockery of Trump became international news, and the president immediately canceled a press conference that he was scheduled to participate in at the conclusion of a NATO summit in London.
On Friday, however, Trump got the last laugh after jobs reports were released for both countries that showed very different performance numbers to put it mildly.
CNBC <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2019/12/06/us-nonfarm-payrolls-november-2019.html">noted</a> the following highlights from the U.S. jobs report:
<ul>
<li>Nonfarm payrolls surged by 266,000 in November, better than the 187,000 expected by economists polled by Dow Jones.</li>
<li>The unemployment rate ticked down to 3.5% from 3.6%, back to the 2019 low and matching the lowest jobless rate since 1969.</li>
<li>Average hourly earnings rose by 3.1% from a year ago, slightly above the 3% expected by economists polled by Dow Jones.</li>
</ul>
CNS News <a href="https://www.cnsnews.com/article/national/susan-jones/158593000-employed-november-24th-record-breaker-trump">reported</a> that the 158,593,000 Americans who were employed in November marked “the 24th record of Trump&#8217;s presidency” in terms of the overall number of Americans in the workforce.
“This is a ‘who would have thought moment?’” Becky Frankiewicz, president of staffing company ManpowerGroup’s North America division, <a href="https://www.wsj.com/articles/november-jobs-report-11575633600">told</a> The Wall Street Journal. “No one would have ever guessed we could be sitting at 3.5% unemployment with 110 months of job gains.”
Trudeau&#8217;s economy took a very different turn than the U.S. economy did as it registered the biggest drop in employment in a decade.
&#8220;Canada’s job market unexpectedly weakened for a second-straight month, registering the biggest drop in employment since 2009 and casting doubt on the resiliency of the domestic outlook,&#8221; The Financial Post reported. &#8220;The economy lost 71,200 jobs in November, Statistics Canada said Friday in Ottawa, following a decline of 1,800 in the prior month.&#8221;
&#8220;The report missed the median economist forecast for a gain of 10,000 jobs,&#8221; The Financial Post continued. &#8220;The unemployment rate increased to 5.9 per cent in the month, from 5.5 per cent in October, the biggest one-month jump since 2009. The decrease in employment was broad-based among both the goods-producing and service-producing sectors.&#8221;
Julia Pollak, labor economist at ZipRecruiter, noted, &#8220;Canada’s jobs report is disappointing, showing job losses for the second month in a row. But observers should remember that the numbers are highly volatile and that this is still the strongest year for job growth in Canada in 17 years.&#8221;
Donald Trump Jr. had a different take, writing on Twitter: &#8220;For perspective the US is about 10X the population of Canada so this would be the equivalent of America shedding 700,000 jobs. Yikes! Maybe Justin should watch <a class="css-4rbku5 css-18t94o4 css-901oao css-16my406 r-1n1174f r-1loqt21 r-1qd0xha r-ad9z0x r-bcqeeo r-qvutc0" role="link" href="https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump" data-focusable="true">@realDonaldTrump</a> &amp; learn how to create jobs&#8230; or go back to being a substitute drama teacher.

Trudeau&#8217;s mockery of Trump surprised some who noted online that he did not have a lot of room to make fun of anyone after his embarrassing blackface scandal earlier this year.
&#8220;Numerous photographs and videos surfaced earlier this year that showed Trudeau wearing blackface which is universally seen as racist and condescending to black people,&#8221; The Daily Wire reported. &#8220;Trudeau was later humiliated by school children who <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/watch-canadian-schoolchildren-destroy-justin-trudeau-over-blackface-photos">confronted him on camera</a> about why he choose to wear racist blackface.&#8221;

Ezra Levant, founder of The Rebel, a Canadian publication, tweeted out a video clip Trudeau mocking Trump, writing: “Just like at the G7 meeting last year, Justin Trudeau was meek and obedient to Donald Trump when they were face to face. But the moment Trump left the room Trudeau bad-mouthed him. Here he is doing the same in London, mocking Canada’s greatest NATO ally.”

Leftist Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg agreed on Friday to put a temporary administrative hold on Democrats&#8217; efforts to gain access to President Donald Trump&#8217;s tax records.
The move by Ginsburg came after Trump asked the nation&#8217;s highest court to temporarily halt two subpoenas for his financial records from House Democrats to Deutsche Bank and Capital One.
CNBC <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2019/12/06/trump-brings-a-third-case-over-his-financial-records-to-the-supreme-court.html">reported</a> that Trump application &#8220;was submitted to Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg because she is assigned to the 2nd Circuit.&#8221;
CNN Supreme Court reporter Shimon Prokupecz <a href="https://twitter.com/ShimonPro/status/1203091275685212160">noted</a> that Ginsburg&#8217;s order &#8220;reflects that the court wants more time before deciding whether or not to block the House subpoenas.&#8221;
In her order, Ginsburg wrote:
<blockquote>UPON CONSIDERATION of the application of counsel for the applicants,
IT IS ORDERED that the mandate of the United States Supreme Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit, case No. 19-1540, issued December 3, 2019, is hereby recalled and stayed until 5 p.m. on December 13, 2019. It is further ordered that a response be filed on or before December 11, 2019 by 11 a.m.</blockquote>
Politico <a href="https://www.politico.com/news/2019/12/06/trump-supreme-court-tax-returns-077263">reported</a>, &#8220;Trump-related requests are piling up at the Supreme Court — and the outcomes could set precedent on significant questions related to separation-of-power issues and whether a president is immune from state-based criminal investigations while in office.&#8221;
&#8220;Trump’s lawyers asked the high court to put a hold a Dec. 3 ruling by Manhattan-based 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals directing the two banks to comply with April subpoenas by the House of Representatives Financial Services Committee and Intelligence Committee for the financial records,&#8221; CNBC said in a separate <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2019/12/06/justice-ginsburg-puts-temporary-hold-on-trump-financial-records-dispute.html">report</a>. &#8220;The material sought by the committees includes records of accounts, transactions and investments linked to Trump, his three oldest children, their immediate family members and several Trump Organization entities.&#8221;
The Financial Services and Intelligence committees have said they are investigating potential money laundering crimes to which the president has strongly denied any wrongdoing.
The move by Democrats comes as they continue their efforts to impeach him over a July 25 phone call with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, a call in which Democrats claim that Trump engaged in a quid pro quo with Ukraine by suggesting that U.S. military aid to the nation was contingent on Ukraine opening up investigations into Democrat presidential candidate Joe Biden.
Despite Democrats’ allegations, multiple witnesses in their public impeachment hearings on the House Intelligence Committee, including <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qEyaUW9UvAY&amp;feature=youtu.be">Ambassador Marie Yovanovitch</a>, <a href="https://twitter.com/RNCResearch/status/1196955065782800385">Senior NSC official Tim Morrison</a>, <a href="https://twitter.com/RNCResearch/status/1196955065782800385">Ambassador Kurt Volker</a>, and <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/ambassador-sondland-strikes-at-democrats-impeachment-narrative-trump-told-me-he-wanted-no-quid-pro-quo">Ambassador</a> <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/rep-mike-turner-gets-witness-to-admit-bombshell-debunks-cnn-headline-in-real-time">Gordon Sondland</a> have all testified that there was no quid pro quo during Trump’s call with Zelensky.
Lieutenant General Keith Kellogg, who is Vice President Mike Pence’s National Security Adviser, released a statement last month stating that he was on the call and nothing improper happened: “I was on the much-reported July 25 call between President Donald Trump and President Zelensky. As an exceedingly proud member of President Trump’s Administration and as a 34-year highly experienced combat veteran who retired with the rank of Lieutenant General in the Army, I heard nothing wrong or improper on the call. I had and have no concerns.”

Ruth Bader Ginsburg Halts Democrats’ Attempts To Get Trump Financial Records

Ruth Bader Ginsburg

Top Democrats called for restricting Americans&#8217; constitutionally protected Second Amendment rights on Friday in response to an alleged Saudi Arabian military official opening fire and killing several people at a U.S. naval base in Florida.
Several of the 2020 Democrat presidential candidates, including a couple of the top-tier contenders, rushed to politicize the attack.
<ul>
<li>Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) <a href="https://twitter.com/ewarren/status/1202980913296089090">tweeted</a>: &#8220;Pearl Harbor. Pensacola. Not even our military bases are safe from gun violence. I&#8217;m heartsick for the victims and their families. We must end this epidemic and protect the lives of our service members.&#8221;</li>
<li>South Bend, Indiana Mayor Pete Buttigieg <a href="https://twitter.com/PeteButtigieg/status/1202991768700100608">tweeted</a>: &#8220;While we wait for more information, my thoughts are with the victims and their families. Service members and the dedicated civilians who support them deserve nothing less than safety on American soil and communities free from gun violence. Enough.&#8221;</li>
<li>Former San Antonio Mayor Julian Castro <a href="https://twitter.com/JulianCastro/status/1203010902536138752">tweeted</a>: &#8220;Not even our military bases are safe from mass shootings. From Pearl Harbor to Pensacola, gun violence is destroying our communities. My deepest condolences to the grieving families. This can&#8217;t be the world we want our kids to grow up in. We must act.&#8221;</li>
<li>Sen. Amy Klobuchar (D-MN) tweeted: &#8220;The shooting in Pensacola has wounded several people and taken the lives of at least three victims. This is the second shooting to happen this week at a Navy base. As we learn more about the situation, there’s one thing we know: Gun violence just has to stop.&#8221;</li>
<li>Marianne Williamson, who is surprisingly still in the race, <a href="https://twitter.com/marwilliamson/status/1203003890804953088">tweeted</a>: &#8220;What will it take to wage peace? It will take outer work and it will also take inner work. It will take regulating our guns and it will also take regulating our hearts.&#8221;</li>
</ul>
In-depth profile pieces on the 2020 Democratic presidential candidates from Daily Wire Editor-at-Large Josh Hammer have previously highlighted the gun policies of the aforementioned candidates:
<ul>
<li><a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/where-does-elizabeth-warren-stand-issues-heres-josh-hammer">Warren</a>:  Warren has frequently supported gun control policies that would infringe upon Americans’ Second American rights. She supports expanded background checks, limitations or bans on certain weapons and magazines that are currently in wide distribution, and supports controversial “red flag” gun legislation. Warren supports a ban on the undefinable sub-class of firearms referred to as so-called “assault weapons” — a line of thought that, if taken to its logical conclusion, could <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/42837/hammer-kamala-harriss-flirtation-banning-all-semi-josh-hammer">lead to the banning of all semi-automatic firearms in America</a>.</li>
<li><a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/where-does-pete-buttigieg-stand-issues-heres-josh-hammer">Buttigieg</a>: Buttigieg supports “universal” background checks, thereby requiring a government intermediary for all private transfers of firearms. He is a member of Mayors Against Illegal Guns, a consortium of pro-gun control mayors. Buttigieg supports a <a href="https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/buttigieg-endorses-nationwide-gun-licensing-system">national gun registry</a>, which is a longstanding policy nemesis of Second Amendment supporters. He supports banning the undefinable sub-class of firearms referred to as so-called “assault weapons” — a line of thought that, if taken to its logical conclusion, could <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/42837/hammer-kamala-harriss-flirtation-banning-all-semi-josh-hammer">lead to the banning of all semi-automatic firearms in America</a>.</li>
<li><a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/where-does-julian-castro-stand-issues-heres-josh-hammer">Castro</a>: Castro has frequently espoused support for gun control policies that would infringe upon Americans’ Second American rights. He supports expanded background checks and limitations or bans on certain weapons and magazines that are currently in wide distribution. Castro <a href="https://www.pbs.org/newshour/politics/what-does-julian-castro-believe-where-the-candidate-stands-on-8-issues">supports a ban</a> on the undefinable sub-class of firearms referred to as so-called “assault weapons” — a line of thought that, if taken to its logical conclusion, could <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/42837/hammer-kamala-harriss-flirtation-banning-all-semi-josh-hammer">lead to the banning of all semi-automatic firearms in America</a>.</li>
<li><a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/where-does-amy-klobuchar-stand-issues-heres-josh-hammer">Klobuchar</a>: Despite her representation of a largely rural state, Klobuchar has a historically poor record on Second Amendment issues. Klobuchar supports “universal” background checks, which often serve as a rhetorical euphemism for the government serving as an intermediary in all private firearms transfers. She <a href="https://amyklobuchar.com/issues/a-safer-world/">supports</a> a ban on the undefinable sub-class of firearms referred to as so-called “assault weapons” — a line of thought that, if taken to its logical conclusion, could lead to the <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/42837/hammer-kamala-harriss-flirtation-banning-all-semi-josh-hammer">banning of all semi-automatic firearms in America</a>.</li>
<li><a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/where-does-marianne-williamson-stand-issues-heres-josh-hammer">Williamson</a>: Williamson supports <a href="http://www.marianne2020.com/issues/gun-control">many policies</a> that would infringe upon Americans’ Second Amendment right to keep and bear arms. She supports expanded background checks and limitations or bans on certain weapons and magazines that are currently in wide distribution. Williamson <a href="https://www.marianne2020.com/issues/gun-control">supports a ban</a> on the undefinable sub-class of firearms referred to as so-called “assault weapons” — a line of thought that, if taken to its logical conclusion, <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/42837/hammer-kamala-harriss-flirtation-banning-all-semi-josh-hammer">could lead to the banning of all semi-automatic firearms in America</a>.</li>
</ul>
Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) said in response to the attack that the attack was not merely murder, but &#8220;an act of terrorism.&#8221;
“If this were a murder, it would typically be investigated by NCIS … but this was not a murder,” Gaetz <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/breaking-attacker-at-florida-military-base-was-member-of-saudi-military-was-an-act-of-terrorism-congressman-says">said</a>. “This was an act of terrorism and as we speak the investigation is being handed over from the NCIS to the FBI, that is the signal that this will now be treated by our government as an act of terrorism, not a murder.”
“Major news organizations are now reporting the information that we began to learn earlier this morning that it was a Saudi Arabian military official in Pensacola, in our community for training, who committed these murderous acts and this terrible, terrible violence at NAS Pensacola,” Gaetz added. “This event represents a serious failure in the vetting process and in the way in which we invite these people into our community. So today, as we learn more as the investigation continues to unfold … I’m going to be very active in working with the Department of Defense and the Department of State to ensure that we have extreme vetting for the people that come into our country on our bases and in our communities.”

Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) said on Friday that the individual who opened fire at Naval Air Station Pensacola was a member of the Saudi military and that the attack &#8220;was an act of terrorism.&#8221;
The foreign national attacker killed at least <a href="https://www.pnj.com/story/news/2019/12/06/breaking-active-shooter-reported-base-nas-pensacola/4351773002/">three</a> people and injured several others who were sent to a nearby hospital for treatment.
Gaetz responded to the attack by calling for &#8220;extreme vetting&#8221; of those who are allowed into the United States and who train at U.S. military bases.
&#8220;Major news organizations are now reporting the information that we began to learn earlier this morning that it was a Saudi Arabian military official in Pensacola, in our community for training, who committed these murderous acts and this terrible, terrible violence at NAS Pensacola,&#8221; Gaetz said. &#8220;I think it&#8217;s important for us to know a little bit about why Saudi Arabian officials are in our community.&#8221;
&#8220;Training is a critical part of the mission that we engage in in NAS Pensacola,&#8221; Gaetz continued. &#8220;One way that we leverage that training is to ensure that our allies around the world are capable and familiar with U.S. systems, that they&#8217;re comfortable working with U.S. officers, and that we have an interoperability in our lexicon and in the way we engage in battle.&#8221;
&#8220;This event represents a serious failure in the vetting process and in the way in which we invite these people into our community,&#8221; Gaetz continued. &#8220;So today, as we learn more as the investigation continues to unfold &#8230; I&#8217;m going to be very active in working with the Department of Defense and the Department of State to ensure that we have extreme vetting for the people that come into our country on our bases and in our communities.&#8221;

The U.S. Navy confirmed on Twitter that the attacker, who was an aviation student, is dead.
Heavy.com <a href="https://heavy.com/news/2019/12/mohammed-saeed-alshamrani/">noted</a> some of the history surrounding the military base, with respect to past incidents involving terrorism:
<blockquote>In the aftermath of the attacks on 9/11, Newsweek reported that three of the hijackers had the addresses on their driver’s licenses listed as being at NAS Pensacola. The article notes that Naval Air Station Pensacola is known as the “Cradle of U.S. Navy Aviation.”
The Navy Times reported in February 2016 that NAS Pensacola officials had increased security measures at the base, after the base had been known was “unusually open” for years.
The Pensacola News Journal reported in September 2019 the “new, top-secret classrooms” had been built on the base to counteract the threat caused by cyber terrorism.</blockquote>
UPDATE: This report has been updated to accurately state that the alleged attacker killed three individuals, not four. The fourth person who was killed was the alleged attacker.

Jeremy Clarkson, the famed former host of BBC&#8217;s &#8220;Top Gear,&#8221; slammed far-left climate extremist Greta Thunberg in a new interview this week, calling her &#8220;mad,&#8221; &#8220;dangerous,&#8221; and saying that she needs to &#8220;shut up and go back to school.&#8221;
&#8220;She&#8217;s mad and she&#8217;s dangerous and she&#8217;s causing young children sleepless nights with her idiocy,&#8221; Clarkson said in an interview this week, according to The Daily Mail. &#8220;I think she needs to go back to school and shut up.&#8221;
Clarkon&#8217;s blistering comments about Thunberg, who is known for making alarmist climate statements in melodramatic fashion, followed his rant about her last week when he described her in an <a href="https://www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/tv/features/jeremy-clarkson-the-grand-tour-interview-greta-thunberg-jeremy-corbyn-a9226601.html">interview</a> with the Independent as &#8220;that weird Swede running around making all sorts of ‘we&#8217;re going to die’ noises.&#8221;
&#8220;But rather than having her jumping up and down and waving her arms in the air, you can actually go there and say, ‘Bloody hell, fire! Look at what this climate change has done to this place,'&#8221; Clarkson continued. &#8220;We simply said, ‘Here&#8217;s an example of it.’ What do you want me to do now? Get on my carbon fiber yacht and go and shout at Donald Trump?&#8221;
When further asked about Thunberg, Clarkson responded: &#8220;She&#8217;s a stupid idiot.&#8221;
&#8220;I think she&#8217;s a weird Swede with a bad temper. Nothing will be achieved by sailing across the ocean in a diesel-powered yacht, and then lying about the diesel engine,&#8221; Clarkson continued. &#8220;And did you see she went to Chile for the climate conference which was then moved to Madrid? I literally s**t myself laughing. She’s an idiot because scientists will solve this, and nobody is going to solve it by running around and going on strike and not going to school, because then you&#8217;re not in your science lessons, so she&#8217;s a fool.&#8221;
In a recent op-ed, Thunberg declared that using fossil fuels &#8220;threatens our very existence&#8221; and that her far-left activism was about “changing perceptions” and “shifting” “public opinion” on climate change and getting “schoolchildren” to lead “the way in raising awareness.”
“Fossil fuels are literally choking the life from us,” Thunberg asserted. “That action must be powerful and wide-ranging. After all, the climate crisis is not just about the environment. It is a crisis of human rights, of justice, and of political will. Colonial, racist, and patriarchal systems of oppression have created and fueled it. We need to dismantle them all. Our political leaders can no longer shirk their responsibilities.”
Thunberg said that her goal in her “climate resistance movement” is “to change everything,” adding, “we will become louder and louder.&#8221;
In September, Thunberg had a public meltdown at the United Nations, where she claimed, &#8220;This is all wrong, I shouldn’t be up here, I should be back in school on the other side of the ocean. Yet, you all come to us young people for hope, how dare you. You have stolen my dreams and my childhood with your empty words and yet I’m one of the lucky ones. People are suffering, people are dying. Entire ecosystems are collapsing. We are in the beginning of a mass extinction and all you can talk about is money and fairytales of eternal economic growth. How dare you.&#8221;
Some have suggested that Thunberg&#8217;s melodramatic performances stem from the fact that, as The Washington Examiner put it, Thunberg has &#8220;stage-parents, literally&#8221;: &#8220;Her mother sang opera internationally until the teenager convinced her to quit due to greenhouse gas emissions from flying, and her father and grandfather both gained fame through acting and directing.&#8221;

Democrat Pennsylvania State Rep. Movita Johnson-Harrell, the first Islamic woman elected to the Pennsylvania House of Representatives, was charged by prosecutors this week for allegedly stealing over $500,000 from a non-profit for the mentally ill, perjury, and tampering with public records.
Pennsylvania Attorney General Josh Shapiro, a Democrat, announced the <a href="https://www.attorneygeneral.gov/wp-content/uploads/2019/12/2019-12-04-Movita-Johnson.pdf">charges</a> on Wednesday which came at the conclusion of an investigation into her operation of a non-profit, Motivations Education &amp; Consultation Associates (MECA).
In a statement, Shapiro said that Johnson-Harrell turned herself in on Wednesday to law enforcement officials, and &#8220;is taking responsibility for her crimes, plans to plead guilty, and has agreed to resign from the Pennsylvania House of Representatives effective December 13th.&#8221;
The statement from Shapiro&#8217;s office noted just a few of the items that Johnson-Harrell allegedly spent the stolen funds on:
<ul>
<li>$5,500 on multiple fox fur coats,</li>
<li>$16,000 on vacations to Mexico (twice), Atlanta, and Ocean City, MD,</li>
<li>$2,065.95 to cover past-due Porsche payments,</li>
<li>$6,976 for designer clothing,</li>
<li>$3,000 for an overdue IRS tax bill,</li>
<li>$3,830 in tuition for relatives,</li>
<li>$3,200 to Philadelphia Gas Works,</li>
<li>$4,741.20 for City of Philadelphia taxes, and</li>
<li>$7,979.54 to cover a restitution payment for a 2014 criminal conviction where Johnson-Harrell failed to pay unemployment compensation tax.</li>
</ul>
“While Johnson-Harrell was lining her pockets with MECA funds, MECA’s residents were living in squalor,” Shapiro <a href="https://billypenn.com/2019/12/04/with-west-philly-state-rep-60-public-officials-have-been-arrested-by-pa-attorney-general/">said</a>. “When corruption erodes the trust that is built between governmental entities and citizens, no one wins. I’ve said time and time again as Attorney General that no one is above the law, no matter their position of power. And today is no different.”
Shapiro continued by highlighting the allegations made against Johnson-Harrell: “Representative Johnson-Harrell continuously diverted Medicaid and social security disability funds from her charity to help Philadelphia’s most vulnerable communities for her own personal use. She spent almost $15,000 on clothing, including online shopping sprees at Ralph Lauren and fox fur coats. She traveled to Mexico, Orlando, Georgia and Maryland on lavish trips costing $16,000 of MECA funds. She spent $2,000 on overdue car payments on her Porsche. Another $4,000 on tuition for a relative. And, she spent almost $20,000 on overdue mortgage payments.”
Shapiro also claimed that Johnson-Harrell committed campaign fraud by &#8220;failing to accurately report her campaign’s receipts and expenditures&#8221; and claimed that she committed tax fraud when she failed to &#8220;report her MECA spending as income and didn’t count the rent she continued to pay herself from MECA accounts on properties that no longer operated.&#8221;
A news article tweeted out by Shapiro highlighted his crackdown on corruption in the state, which, with Johnson-Harrell&#8217;s arrest, now stands at 60 public officials his office has arrested for alleged corruption and other alleged crimes.
The article that Shapiro tweeted out was to a publication called BillyPenn, which reported: &#8220;Two-thirds of the 60 arrested over the past two years were police officers or other law enforcement officials, including prosecutors, probation and corrections officers. Charges against them ranged from falsifying police paperwork to soliciting prostitutes while on the job. There are also plenty of county officials who allegedly dipped into public coffers for their personal gain.&#8221;
The list of officials that Shapiro arrested also reportedly includes 20 who were brought up on charges involving child pornography.

Democrat State Rep Charged With Stealing $500K From Non-Profit For Mentally Ill, Pennsylvania Attorney General Alleges

Pennsylvania

Brian Hook, the U.S. State Department’s special envoy to Iran, told reporters on Thursday that the U.S. has credible evidence suggesting that the Islamic Republic of Iran murdered as many as 1,000 unarmed protesters in recent weeks, possibly even more.
The protests were sparked last month over a massive spike in fuel prices imposed by the Iranian government, which is facing an economic crisis after being devastated by crippling U.S. sanctions for violating the Iran nuclear deal.
&#8220;On November 16th, protests were spreading throughout the country. In Mahshahr, a city in southwest Iran, a number of Iranian demonstrators blocked a road,&#8221; Hook said. &#8220;Without warning, the IRGC opened fire on the protesters, killing several people.  Many of the protesters fled to nearby marshlands to escape.&#8221;
&#8220;The IRGC tracked them down and surrounded them with machine guns mounted on trucks. They then sprayed the protesters with bullets,&#8221; Hook continued. &#8220;Between the rounds of machine gun fire, the screams of the victims can be heard. In this one incident alone, the regime murdered as many as a hundred Iranians and possibly more. When it was over, the regime loaded the bodies into trucks. We do not yet know where these bodies went, but we are learning more and more about how the Iranian regime treats its own people.&#8221;
Hook said that while the U.S. has not nailed down an exact figure yet, officials know that at least many hundreds of people were murdered, including &#8220;at least a dozen children.&#8221;
&#8220;We have seen reports of many hundreds more killed in and around Tehran. And as the truth is trickling out of Iran, it appears the regime could have murdered over a thousand Iranian citizens since the protests began,&#8221; Hook said. &#8220;Many thousands of Iranians have been wounded, and at least 7,000 protesters have been detained in Iran’s prisons.&#8221;
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
Hook explained how U.S. officials arrived at their estimates: &#8220;Well, this is based on – some of it is – it’s a collection of crowdsourcing intelligence, intelligence reports from groups that have been publishing the death toll. As the regime has slowly restored the internet, we have more videos and more information leaking from the country. And so we know for certain it is many, many hundreds &#8230; and we are now at the many hundreds, perhaps over a thousand, and this – look, we had protests in a hundred cities, and we saw how the regime responded. The supreme leader referred to his own people as thugs, and this was a brutal crackdown.&#8221;
Hook said that many of the detained protesters were sent to either the Great Tehran Penitentiary or Qarchak Prison, which Secretary of State Mike Pompeo classified as entities that meet the criteria for gross human rights violations.
&#8220;The Great Tehran Penitentiary is known for is inhumane living conditions, which consist of unsanitary and crowded corridors, rodent infestations, insufficient food, water, and medical care,&#8221; Hook said. &#8220;We have seen reports that protesters have been subject to abuse and mistreatment during interrogations, arbitrary beatings, and rape. Qarchak Prison is Iran’s largest women’s prison, and also holds many members of religious minority communities. It too is known for unbearable conditions, including regular assaults and inappropriate behavior of prison guards towards women, chronic lack of water, unsanitary living spaces, and an environment that enables rape and murder.&#8221;
Hook said that the United States was immediately calling on Iran to release all protesters that it had imprisoned and called on the world&#8217;s leading state sponsor of terrorism to also release all political prisoners.

BLOODBATH: Horrifying Estimate Of Number Of Protesters Murdered By Iran Released

Iran

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi claimed on Thursday night that &#8220;civilization&#8221; was at stake in the upcoming 2020 presidential elections when asked about the possibility that President Donald Trump could win re-election.
&#8220;Let&#8217;s not even contemplate that,&#8221; Pelosi said. “The damage that this administration has done to America, America’s a great country. We can sustain. Two terms, I don’t know.”
“Civilization as we know it today is at stake in the next election, and certainly, our planet,” Pelosi later added.

Earlier in the CNN town hall event, Pelosi snapped at CNN&#8217;s Jake Tapper for asking her questions about impeachment, which comes of the same day that she announced that she was advancing the Democrats&#8217; efforts to impeach Trump.
“Would you be willing to testify if it meant that people you want to hear from such as Mick Mulvaney, the acting chief of staff, or John Bolton, the former national security adviser, would also have to testify?” Tapper asked. “If there’s some sort of deal cut, would you be willing to do so?”
“It has nothing to do, they should be testifying because they have been asked to testify by Congress,” Pelosi snapped back. “It isn’t a deal. It’s about a system of checks and balances.”
Growing annoyed, Pelosi continued, “Can we not have any more questions about impeachment?”

Pelosi On 2020 Election: ‘Civilization As We Know It Today Is At Stake’

Democrat Rep. Jeff Van Drew (NJ) responded to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi&#8217;s decision to move forward with impeaching President Donald Trump on Thursday by cautioning his party, warning them that what they are doing is tearing the United States apart.
CNN&#8217;s Manu Raju spoke with Van Drew about Pelosi&#8217;s decision, writing on Twitter: &#8220;Rep. Jeff Van Drew, one of two Democrats to vote against formalizing the impeachment inquiry, told me he plans to vote against all the articles of impeachment &#8216;unless there&#8217;s something that I haven&#8217;t seen, haven&#8217;t heard before.'&#8221;
Van Drew told Raju that Democrats should &#8220;be careful what [they] wish for&#8221; because impeachment &#8220;is tearing the nation apart.&#8221;
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">
Van Drew warned Democrats to &quot;be careful what you wish for&quot; and he added that impeachment &quot;is tearing the nation apart. … And I want to bring people together.&quot; Van Drew said he would have preferred a censure vote so they could &quot;move on.&quot;

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
In an <a href="https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/2019/12/01/democratic-lawmaker-trump-unsavory-not-impeachable/2567848001/">interview</a> on Sunday with USA Today, Van Drew echoed similar sentiments, saying that he opposes removing the president.
&#8220;My job isn’t really to like or dislike him,&#8221; Van Drew said. &#8220;My job is to exact as much goodwill and help for my district and for this nation and for this world that I possibly can while he’s president.”
On the issue of impeachment, Van Drew said, “To some folks, that’s reminiscent of what was done to kings and queens many years ago. Everything our country doesn’t stand for.&#8221;
Van Drew is not the only Democrat to sound the alarm bells over impeachment.
Rep. John Yarmuth (D-KY) <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/democrat-warns-party-not-to-impeach-trump-because-of-who-gop-will-nominate-in-2020">warned</a> his party this week that if the get Trump removed from office that it could be a bad move politically because of who the Democrats may have to face from the GOP in 2020.
“I do think that it’s the right thing to do to remove him from office. I believe he is an imminent danger to this country and to our democracy, but I was saying that the political consequences may not be very good for the Democrats,” Yarmuth said. “I will guarantee you the Republican Party would not nominate Mike Pence to succeed him. They would nominate someone like Nikki Haley who would be much more difficult for Democrats to defeat.”
“I just think it could be bad politics,” Yarmuth added.
In late November, Democrat Rep. Brenda Lawrence (MI) said that Trump should be censured but not removed from office.
“You can censure, you don’t have to remove the president,” Lawrence <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/tide-turning-on-impeachment-as-democrat-congresswoman-flips-i-dont-see-the-value-of-kicking-him-out-of-office">said</a>. “We are so close to an election. I will tell you, sitting here, knowing how divided this country is, I don’t see the value of kicking him out of office, but I do see the value of putting down a marker saying his behavior is not acceptable.”
In a subsequent tweet, Raju noted what Democrat Rep. Collin Peterson (MN), who also is opposed to impeachment, had to say about the matter following Pelosi&#8217;s announcement: &#8220;Minnesota Rep. Collin Peterson, the other Democrat who also opposed the inquiry, said this when I asked if he&#8217;d vote to impeach: &#8216;I don&#8217;t have an idea what they&#8217;re doing.&#8217; And he walked on the floor.&#8221;
Peterson told a local media outlet on the issue of impeachment: &#8220;What I&#8217;ve said all along is that you can&#8217;t do this with one party. It&#8217;s not smart and it&#8217;s not going to work. I think if this is handled incorrectly, it will reelect Trump. That&#8217;s what I think.&#8221;

Pelosi Scolds CNN For Asking Her About Impeachment On Day She Declared Impeachment

Democrat presidential candidate Michael Bloomberg, who is sympathetic toward the Chinese Communist Party, unveiled a massive anti-freedom proposal on Thursday aimed at severely clamping down on American&#8217;s constitutionally protected Second Amendment rights.
Speaking in Colorado, Bloomberg called for criminalizing transfers of firearms, increasing the age required to purchase firearms, a multi-day waiting period when purchasing firearms, unconstitutional red flag laws that allow the government to confiscate a person’s firearms without due process, and banning semi-automatic firearms.
Bloomberg also essentially proposed a national firearm registry by calling for a gun licensing system and universal background checks.
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
To say that Bloomberg is clueless when it comes to the Second Amendment and gun laws would be generous given many of the head-scratching comments that the New York billionaire has made over the years.
In a 2014 interview with Rolling Stone, Bloomberg said he did not know if a minor was legally permitted to purchase and possess a firearm, <a href="https://www.rollingstone.com/culture/culture-news/michael-bloomberg-isnt-afraid-of-the-nra-83455/">saying</a>, &#8220;I don’t know what the law is today on a 14-year-old owning a .22-caliber rifle.&#8221;
In a 2012 interview on ABC News, Bloomberg further demonstrated his lack of knowledge on the subject.
Here is the exchange Bloomberg had with anchor Cynthia McFadden:
<blockquote>McFadden: Let&#8217;s just look at the assault weapons ban. We had one in this country for 10 years. Every single weapon used by the shooter in Connecticut would have been OK under the old assault weapons law.
Bloomberg: OK, so that law is flawed, fix it.
McFadden: Isn&#8217;t it pretty hard to define what is an assault weapon because it&#8217;s so easy for manufacturers [to alter firearms]?
Bloomberg: Well if it can fire a lot of bullets very quickly, that&#8217;s a good definition, that&#8217;s a good place to start, OK?
McFadden: Well hunters would say&#8211;
Bloomberg: Let&#8217;s pick it. Let&#8217;s say three. If you haven&#8217;t hit the deer with three shots, you&#8217;re a pretty lousy shot. The deer deserves to get away. Let&#8217;s get serious here.
McFadden: But that would ban most pistols&#8211;
Bloomberg: No, but pistols are different. You have to pull the trigger each time. An assault weapon, you basically hold it and it goes, [bang, bang, bang].
McFadden: No, those are fully automatic weapons.
Bloomberg: Okay.
McFadden: So, fully automatic weapons&#8211;
Bloomberg: If you have a big magazine, you&#8217;ll solve your problem. You still have to pull the trigger but if it&#8217;s 30 bullets, or 20 bullets, or 10 bullets before you run out, I would suggest, God wants that deer to live.&#8221;
McFadden: But according to gun owners, what you&#8217;ve just described would ban most guns that hunters use today.
Bloomberg: If that&#8217;s what they&#8217;re using, for God sakes, why aren&#8217;t they using dynamite? Just make it easier. I mean, what&#8217;s the sport?
McFadden: The position a lot of people are going to say is that all you&#8217;re going to accomplish is taking guns away from the good people and the bad people are still going to have them.
Bloomberg: No, no, no. That&#8217;s not true. The statistics say that if you have a gun at home that you are 22 times as likely to shoot a family member or a friend as to somebody breaking in. Don&#8217;t try to go for a gun. You got somebody pointing a gun at you. You think you&#8217;re going to be able to out shoot them? That&#8217;s one of the stupidest things I&#8217;ve ever heard.</blockquote>

Bloomberg is also seemingly a fan of the Chinese Communist Party, which currently has millions of people <a href="https://apnews.com/4ab0b341a4ec4e648423f2ec47ea5c47">locked up</a> in concentration camps, has <a href="https://www.theatlantic.com/international/archive/2018/02/china-surveillance/552203/">implemented</a> a massive surveillance state, <a href="https://www.cfr.org/backgrounder/religion-china">persecutes</a> those who believe in God, and is <a href="https://www.scmp.com/comment/letters/article/3037513/hong-kong-protesters-seeking-greater-freedoms-risk-destroying">oppressing</a> pro-freedom protests in Hong Kong.
This is the same communist party in China that <a href="https://www.heritage.org/asia/commentary/the-legacy-mao-zedong-mass-murder">murdered</a> tens of millions of its own citizens under Mao Zedong.
In September, Bloomberg repeatedly defended the murderous Chinese Communist Party in an interview on PBS&#8217;s &#8220;Firing Line With Margaret Hoover.&#8221;
Bloomberg&#8217;s comments came in response from a question from Hoover about whether China was doing enough to combat climate change.
“China is doing a lot, India is doing some, but I think China is doing a lot,” Bloomberg responded. “Yes, they’re still building a lot of coal-fired power plants … but they’re now moving plants away from the cities.”
“The Communist Party wants to stay in power in China and they listen to the public,” Bloomberg continued. “When the public says ‘I can’t breathe the air,’ Xi Jinping is not a dictator, he has to satisfy his constituents or he’s not going to survive.”
“He’s not a dictator?” Hoover fired back.
“No,” Bloomberg falsely claimed. “He has a constituency to answer to.”
“He doesn’t have a vote. He doesn’t have a democracy. He’s not held accountable by voters,” Hoover pressed. “Is the check on him just a revolution?”
“You’re not going to have a revolution. No government survives without the will of the majority of its people,” Bloomberg responded, as he became annoyed. “Okay?”
Hoover, continued, “the idea that the Chinese government is responsive to sort of a Democratic expression of fresh air, clean air … ”
“Oh, come on, of course they are,” Bloomberg interrupted.
“I’m looking at the people in Hong Kong who are protesting … ” Hoover continued.
“Go back and read the press, the days when you have big pollution in Beijing and they’re doing something about it,” Bloomberg responded, completely ignoring China&#8217;s crackdown on freedoms. “That’s ridiculous. They are very responsive to it.”

Bloomberg Unveils Radical Anti-Freedom Plan Attacking Second Amendment Rights

Democrats released records earlier this week claiming that Trump lawyer Rudy Giuliani had been in contact with the United States Office of Management and Budget (OMB) — which held the $400 million in U.S. aid to Ukraine earlier this year — a claim that now appears to be in doubt.
&#8220;House Democrats earlier this week released records asserting that Rudy Giuliani was in contact with a phone number associated with the White House budget office, where $400 million in aid to Ukraine was temporarily put on hold this summer,&#8221; The Wall Street Journal reported. &#8220;That assertion, however, is now in doubt. The previously undisclosed phone number cited by the House Intelligence Committee in its impeachment inquiry report, which The Wall Street Journal has identified, isn’t directly linked to the Office of Management and Budget. It could instead reflect phone calls from other parts of the White House, according to people familiar with the matter.&#8221;
A Democrat committee official admittedly told RealClearPolitics that they are not sure if the phone number provided by Chairman Adam Schiff, a Democrat, is accurate: &#8220;We don’t definitively know who the call was to because the White House has ignored our subpoena.&#8221;
The Journal noted that OMB officials stated that Giuliani did not speak with on one their staff and that a White House official previously stated White House call logs do not match up with phone records of acting chief of staff and budget office director Mick Mulvaney.
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">
🚨Breaking: Uh oh&#8230;Now Schiff&#39;s committee doesn&#39;t know if he had the wrong number&#8230;was it OMB that Rudy called or wasn&#39;t it? They can&#39;t say. <a href="https://t.co/i7gsHLXqEU">https://t.co/i7gsHLXqEU</a>

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
Schiff&#8217;s committee claimed that Giuliani had a 12-minute phone call on August 8 with a number that Democrats claimed was OMB, which came a week after Giuliani allegedly met with a Ukrainian official.
&#8220;That number, along with the other references in the report to a number associated with OMB, all correspond to a placeholder number that shows up when officials in several White House departments make calls, according to people familiar with the matter,&#8221; the Journal added. &#8220;The Intelligence Committee’s report set off media speculation that Mr. Giuliani was coordinating with the budget office about frozen aid to Ukraine, though the report didn’t specifically allege any discussion of aid by the president’s lawyer.&#8221;
Giuliani has denied knowing that the aid was ever put on hold by the Trump administration until the information became public knowledge.
Democrats claim that President Donald Trump pressured Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky during a July 25 phone call, which Zelensky has repeatedly denied, saying that Trump was withholding $400 million in military assistance to Ukraine as a way of pressuring them into opening political investigations into former Vice President and current Democrat presidential candidate Joe Biden.
The part of Trump&#8217;s phone call that Democrats take issue with is when he brought up Biden and his son, Hunter Biden, who worked on the board of a corrupt Ukrainian gas company, Burisma.
&#8220;The other thing, there’s a lot of talk about Biden’s son, that Biden stopped the prosecution and a lot of people want to find out about that so whatever you can do with the Attorney General would be great,&#8221; Trump told Zelensky. &#8220;Biden went around bragging that he stopped the prosecution so if you can look into it… It sounds horrible to me.&#8221;
Despite Democrats’ claims, multiple witnesses in their impeachment hearings, including <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qEyaUW9UvAY&amp;feature=youtu.be">Ambassador Marie Yovanovitch</a>, <a href="https://twitter.com/RNCResearch/status/1196955065782800385">Senior NSC official Tim Morrison</a>, <a href="https://twitter.com/RNCResearch/status/1196955065782800385">Ambassador Kurt Volker</a>, and <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/ambassador-sondland-strikes-at-democrats-impeachment-narrative-trump-told-me-he-wanted-no-quid-pro-quo">Ambassador</a> <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/rep-mike-turner-gets-witness-to-admit-bombshell-debunks-cnn-headline-in-real-time">Gordon Sondland</a> have all testified that there was no quid pro quo during Trump’s call with Zelensky.
Lieutenant General Keith Kellogg, who is Vice President Mike Pence’s National Security Adviser, released a statement last month stating that he was on the call and nothing improper happened: &#8220;I was on the much-reported July 25 call between President Donald Trump and President Zelensky. As an exceedingly proud member of President Trump’s Administration and as a 34-year highly experienced combat veteran who retired with the rank of Lieutenant General in the Army, I heard nothing wrong or improper on the call. I had and have no concerns.&#8221;

Key Piece Of Democrats’ Evidence In Impeachment Appears To Fall Apart, Report Says

Multiple Democrats came out on Thursday and suggested that there may be multiple impeachments of President Donald Trump if the president is acquitted in the Senate, including if he wins re-election next November.
Rep. Al Green (D-TX), who has long pushed for impeaching the president, told C-SPAN that there was &#8220;no limit&#8221; to the number of times that Democrats could impeach the president.
&#8220;A president can be impeached more than once,&#8221; Green advised. &#8220;So, we can do this, we can move forward with what we have on the table currently, we can take this before the Senate and we can still investigate other issues and when the president has committed additional offenses, and my suspicion is that he will, we can take those before the Senate.&#8221;
&#8220;There is no limit on the number of times the Senate can vote to convict or not a president, no limit to the number of times the House can vote to impeach or not a president,&#8221; Green continued. &#8220;So, my belief is that the speaker will probably say we’re going to move forward with what we have now, but we’re not going to end investigations and that there may be possible opportunities to do other things at a later time.&#8221;

At approximately the same time, Neal Katyal, an acting solicitor general under former Democrat President Barack Obama, said that Trump could be retried if he wins reelection.
Katyal tweeted: &#8220;[Important] note on future: If the Senate doesn’t vote to convict Trump, or tries to monkey w his trial, he could of course be retried in the new Senate should he win re-election. Double jeopardy protections do not apply. And Senators voting on impeachment in the next months know this.&#8221;
The Washington Free Beacon <a href="https://freebeacon.com/politics/former-obama-official-floats-impeaching-trump-again/">added</a>, &#8220;Katyal&#8217;s tweets came the same day that he argued in a Washington Post op-ed that House Judiciary Democrats were getting too caught up with procedure and evidence and that Trump should be impeached based only on the transcript of his July phone call with Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelensky.&#8221;

A recent digital advertisement from the Republican National Committee highlighted the hyper-partisan remarks from Democrats over impeachment; many of the Democrats suggested that they were proceeding with impeachment because they did not want Trump to win re-election.
The ad featured words from House Democrats on impeachment:
<ul>
<li>Socialist Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (NY): “This is about preventing a potentially disastrous outcome from occuring next year.”</li>
<li>Dina Titus (NV): “I’d like to impeach the bastard right now.”</li>
<li>Adam Schiff (CA): “That charlatan in the White House.”</li>
<li>Nancy Pelosi (CA): “An imposter,” and “We cannot accept a second term for Donald Trump.”</li>
<li>Maxine Waters (CA): “He really should be punished,” and “ I am not running for anything except the impeachment of Trump.”</li>
<li>Rashida Tlaib (MI): “We’re gonna impeach the mother**ker.”</li>

Expanding on Ocasio-Cortez&#8217;s remarks on CNN that were featured in the RNC&#8217;s ad, the socialist lawmaker admitted that impeachment was about unifying the fractured Democrat party.
“At the end of the day, we have to be able to come together as a caucus and if it is this Ukrainian allegation that is what brings the caucus together, um, then I think we have to run with however we unify the House,” Ocasio-Cortez said. “We also need to move quite quickly because we’re talking about the potential compromise of the 2020 elections. And so this is not just about something that has occurred; this is about preventing a potentially disastrous outcome from occurring next year.”

Democrats Plot Impeaching Trump Multiple Times, Including If He Wins Re-Election: ‘No Limit To The Number Of Times The House Can Vote To Impeach’

Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden snapped at an audience member who questioned him at a campaign event on Thursday about his son&#8217;s role at a Ukrainian gas company, calling the man &#8220;a damn liar&#8221; and then challenging him to a push-up contest.
&#8220;You&#8217;re a damn liar, man. That&#8217;s not true and no one has ever said that,&#8221; Biden snapped at the man. &#8220;You see it on the TV? I know you do.

&#8220;No one has said that my son has done anything wrong and I did not on any occasion and no one has ever said it,&#8221; Biden claimed.

BIDEN SNAPS: Calls Man ‘A Damn Liar,’ Challenges Him To Push-Up Contest

Newly released poll results show that Florida Republican Governor Ron DeSantis is wildly popular in the state as the majority of voters in all age, gender, race, and political demographics strongly approve him.
Reporter Ryan James Girdusky highlighted new poll results from New Saint Leo University, which found that DeSantis had a 68% approval rating compared to only a 20% disapproval rating.
Here is the breakdown of DeSantis&#8217; approval rating:

National Review Senior Writer David Harsanyi noted this week that DeSantis is far from the outlier in terms of a Republican being wildly popular as a governor; in fact, DeSantis is not even ranked among the top-10 most popular governors in the United States — all of whom are Republicans.
&#8220;When it comes to governorships, Florida isn’t an outlier. The last time the Morning Consult poll tabulated a list of the most popular governors, the top 14 — and 18 of the top 20 — were Republicans. These Republicans govern in states that have highly diverse electorates, from Alabama to Vermont,&#8221; Harsanyi <a href="https://www.nationalreview.com/corner/if-the-republican-party-is-dying-why-are-their-governors-so-popular/">wrote</a>. &#8220;Which is weird, because this very week, progressives at the New York Times and the Atlantic were assuring us that the GOP was so reviled nationally — and its agenda so toxic to the average American — that the party has been compelled to hide from &#8216;democratic accountability.'&#8221;
DeSantis beat far-left Democrat gubernatorial candidate Andrew Gillum, who was <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/busted-gillum-lied-accepted-tickets-undercover-fbi-ryan-saavedra">tangled up</a> in an FBI corruption investigation, in November 2018 by approximately 33,000 votes.
Last week, President Donald Trump campaigned in Florida, which is his new home state, where he was greeted by DeSantis, who also briefly spoke at the rally.
&#8220;Let me just say, Mr. President, given your change of registration, welcome home to Florida,&#8221; DeSantis <a href="https://factba.se/transcript/donald-trump-speech-kag-rally-sunrise-florida-november-26-2019">said</a>. &#8220;And why not come to Florida, we have one of the lowest tax burdens of any state in the country. You see some of these states that are going bankrupt. We have over a $5 billion in reserves with our budget, and I see some of these cities and states with lawlessness.&#8221;
&#8220;When I came into office, I was proud to sign a bill banning sanctuary cities in the state of Florida,&#8221; DeSantis continued. &#8220;With your support, we are in the process of eliminating Common Core, and as soon as I came into office, I was able to replace on our state supreme court three Liberal justices with three conservative constitutional, and I&#8217;ve got to thank the President for his support of Florida.&#8221;
DeSantis then transitioned into highlighting to Florida residents the different things that the president has done for the sunshine state.
&#8220;So, we&#8217;re really lucky in that regard in Florida, but let me tell you about the President,&#8221; DeSantis said. &#8220;When we had a hurricane hit in Northwest Florida, a lot of people had forgotten about that. Those folks were really, really in dire straits. I went up to the Oval Office and even though a lot of people told them don&#8217;t do anything, just let it go. He was right there standing behind the people of Northwest Florida.&#8221;
&#8220;He has helped rejuvenate that area. He saved Tyndall Air Force base,&#8221; DeSantis continued. &#8220;It&#8217;s going to come back bigger than ever, very important for our military. When we were trying to get Floridians access to cheaper prescription drugs, we had an avenue to let people buy them in Canada because it&#8217;s about a third of the price a lot of times, and everyone said, no, you can&#8217;t do it. You can&#8217;t do it. I went out and met with the President. He said no, no, no, we&#8217;re doing it, and so, they&#8217;re in the process of putting that through right now.&#8221;
&#8220;President Trump has stood with our communities in South Florida, Cuban-Americans, Venezuelan-Americans, stand for freedom in this hemisphere and stand against a dictatorship in places like Caracas and Havana, and the President has stood, where one of the most military and veteran-friendly states in the country,&#8221; DeSantis concluded. &#8220;He has stood by our veterans and he has stood by our military. And so, our success in Florida, obviously, we&#8217;ve got a lot of great people in this state, but we have a President who not only understands Florida, he supports what we&#8217;re doing here. I got him, bug him now about maybe locating the Space Command in Florida, at some point, I know the Air Force doesn&#8217;t want it. But you know, he makes his own decisions, as we&#8217;ve seen so. So, Thank you, Mr. President, for being a good friend to Florida, and God bless you.&#8221;
