<p>For those who don&#8217;t spend their Sunday mornings glued to the television — and their Sunday afternoons attempting to dig through a week&#8217;s worth of network and cable news media spin — The Daily Wire has compiled a short summary of what you may have missed.</p>
<p>This Sunday, all eyes were on House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) — and despite some rumblings from a few House Republicans threatening to take his gavel via the same Motion to Vacate that ousted former Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) — members of both parties (surprise!) came to his defense.</p>
<p>Rep. Michael McCaul (R-TX) sang Johnson&#8217;s praises on ABC&#8217;s &#8220;This Week,&#8221; saying that his efforts to shepherd an aid bill — for Ukraine, Israel, and Taiwan — through the House over the objections of some within his own party had displayed a &#8220;profile in courage.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;I am so proud of the Speaker, Mike Johnson,&#8221; McCaul told ABC host Jonathan Karl. &#8220;He went through a transformation &#8230; putting the nation above yourself.&#8221;</p>
<p>Johnson, when asked about attempts to oust him from the speakership, said that his intention was simply to do his job, not to walk around the Capitol fretting about whether or not someone would put forth a Motion to Vacate.</p>

<p>The Foreign Affairs Committee Chair went on to say that he believed Johnson had done &#8220;the right thing&#8221; in supporting the aid package, arguing that the United States could not abandon Ukraine the same way President Joe Biden&#8217;s administration had abandoned Afghanistan.</p>
<p>&#8220;I think the stock in Mike Johnson has gone way up. I think the respect for him has gone way up — because he did the right thing.&#8221;</p>

<p>Despite being a member of the opposition party, Rep. Ro Khanna (D-CA) threw his support behind Johnson as well — largely because of his work to pass the Ukraine aid package — and said that he would even go so far as to vote to support the Republican Speaker, should a Motion to Vacate force another vote.</p>
<p>&#8220;I would actually vote to table any motion to vacate him &#8230; He did the right thing here and he deserves to keep his job until the end of the term,&#8221; Khanna told Karl. But Khanna made it clear his goodwill toward Johnson would be short-lived, noting that he believed Democrats would retake the House in November — so once the current term ends, he believes the new House Speaker might be House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.).</p>

<p>Even Donna Brazile, former interim Chairwoman of the Democratic National Committee (DNC), voiced her tentative approval of Speaker Johnson: &#8220;I have to say this, I&#8217;m a Louisianan, I&#8217;m always proud when Louisiana people come through — especially someone with LSU ties.&#8221;</p>
<p>She went on to say that while Johnson was certainly not what she would call a &#8220;moderate,&#8221; &#8220;at the end of the day, he decided to go with history and to be the soul who understood what&#8217;s at stake.&#8221;</p>

<p>Several other shows on the Sunday circuit played variations on the same theme.</p>
<p>On CBS&#8217; &#8220;Face the Nation,&#8221; Rep. Tom Cole (R-OK) told host Margaret Brennan that he didn&#8217;t think there would be enough Republicans to vote Johnson out of the Speakership.</p>
<p>&#8220;You gotta take anything seriously,&#8221; Cole said of the threats to oust Johnson — but he also said that he didn&#8217;t believe they&#8217;d be successful because not as many Republicans would oppose Johnson as had opposed McCarthy and some Democrats (like Khanna) were likely to vote to protect Johnson because they agreed with him on the Ukraine aid at least.</p>
<p>He also argued that too many House members — from both parties — likely remembered how chaotic things had been when they did not have a Speaker at all. &#8220;They also had a taste of what it&#8217;s like to go without a speaker for three weeks. I don&#8217;t think they want that again,&#8221; he said.</p>

<p>Rep. Tony Gonzales (R-TX) addressed the issue on CNN&#8217;s &#8220;State of the Union,&#8221; saying, &#8220;The House is a rough and rowdy place, but Mike Johnson is going to be just fine.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;Unlike Joe Biden&#8217;s poor Uncle Bosie, I think Mike Johnson&#8217;s going to avoid the cannibals in his own party,&#8221; Republican commentator Ken Jennings agreed. &#8220;He stood up to them this weekend, and the adults retook control of the U.S. Congress &#8230; I think and I hope that Democrats will continue to stand with Mike Johnson for a functional Congress.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;You know, there&#8217;s a wide middle in this country,&#8221; Jennings continued, saying that Johnson&#8217;s goal appeared to be to drag American politics &#8220;away from the dysfunctional fringe&#8221; and back into that middle space.</p>
<p>Former White House Communications Director Kate Bedingfield agreed, saying that Johnson &#8220;should absolutely get credit for taking a bold position here. He probably decided, you know what, this job isn&#8217;t worth having if I&#8217;m not doing something. So I think it was impressive and I think the way he laid out a values-driven argument, particularly for Ukraine, was impressive.&#8221;</p>

<p>Not everyone got the memo that Sunday was Mike Johnson’s day, however. Former White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki, for example, kept hammering the same nail she&#8217;s been working at since landing her MSNBC show — &#8220;Inside With Jen Psaki&#8221;: former President Donald Trump.</p>
<p>The majority of Psaki&#8217;s show was an interview with Governor Gavin Newsom (D-CA) — who has often been floated as a likely replacement candidate in the event that President Joe Biden has to exit the 2024 race — and while they focused primarily on abortion, they did take time to discuss Trump&#8217;s Manhattan hush-money trial.</p>
<p>Psaki brought up the trial — along with reports that some people believe it actually helps Trump more than it hurts him — and asked Newsom how he would explain to voters why the trial matters.</p>
<p>The California governor argued briefly that it should matter to everyone — but quickly pivoted to warn Psaki that he didn&#8217;t think it helpful in the long run to give more attention to Trump. &#8220;When we&#8217;re focusing on him, I do worry, electorally, that he has a slight advantage. I&#8217;m a little concerned about the overindulgence &#8230; The consequential nature of a criminal trial is profound and outsized in some respects, but not more outsized than democracy.&#8221;</p>

<p>Every Sunday morning, legacy media outlets are taken over by elected officials, aspiring elected officials, administration insiders, and the usual collection of talking heads — all of whom are there to discuss specific policies, push talking points, or simply promote their own campaigns.</p>
<p>For those who don&#8217;t spend their Sunday mornings glued to the television — and their Sunday afternoons attempting to unravel a full week&#8217;s worth of network and cable news media spin — The Daily Wire has compiled a short summary of what you may have missed.</p>
<h3><strong>ABC News, &#8220;This Week&#8221;:</strong></h3>
<p>White House National Security spokesman John Kirby made several media stops on Sunday in the wake of Iran&#8217;s direct attack on Israel, among them a brief interview with ABC News anchor George Stephanopoulos on &#8220;This Week.&#8221;</p>
<p>During his appearance on the show, Kirby urged the terrorist group Hamas — which started the current Israel-Hamas war with the unprovoked attack on civilians that took place on October 7 — to accept a deal that would force them to release Israeli hostages.</p>
<p>&#8220;Hamas needs to take that deal,&#8221; Kirby said noting that it would include a &#8220;six-week ceasefire to allow for an increase in humanitarian assistance.&#8221;</p>

<p>During a roundtable discussion later in the show, the conversation turned to abortion, the overturning of <em>Roe v. Wade</em> in 2022, and the 1864 Arizona law that the state&#8217;s Supreme Court said could be enforced in the absence of <em>Roe</em>. Former interim DNC chairwoman Donna Brazile weighed in on the law, which would ban most abortions in the state.</p>
<p>&#8220;Will Democrats make sure that those victims, those women who are having these horrifying experiences get to tell their story? Absolutely,&#8221; Brazile said.&#8221;And who&#8217;s responsible? Donald Trump.&#8221;</p>

<p>Former CENTCOM Commander Gen. Frank McKenzie joined host Margaret Brennan on CBS&#8217; &#8220;Face the Nation&#8221; to discuss Iran&#8217;s direct attack on Israel, and he made it clear that he believed Iran had shown its hand — and that it wasn&#8217;t a good one.</p>
<p>The attack showered Israel with missiles and drones, most of which were repelled by the Iron Dome defense system — and according to McKenzie, the combination came as &#8220;close to a maximum effort as they could generate.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;Iran could not replicate last night&#8217;s attack tonight if they had to,&#8221; he said. &#8220;Iran is relatively weaker than it was yesterday.&#8221;</p>

<p>McKenzie went on to say that in the aftermath of Iran&#8217;s actions Israel would have more support behind a retaliatory strike, but that they should still exercise &#8220;restraint&#8221; and tailor any military response to have a &#8220;definable beginning and a definable end.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;Israel can name its price right now,&#8221; he explained. &#8220;But it&#8217;s also a position that calls for exercise in strategic restraint.&#8221;</p>

<p>Fetterman went on to attack the far left within his own party, saying that he would never &#8220;capitulate to the fringe&#8221; and adding, &#8220;I will never pander to that as well. In fact, that helps, that empowers Hamas. And Hamas is actually convinced that they are winning the PR war, and they’re never going to negotiate at this point.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;They think they’re going to hold on to the very end,&#8221; Fetterman continued. &#8220;And I know why they’re not willing to provide any kind of proof of life.

<p>Governor Gretchen Whitmer (D-MI) attempted to thread a difficult political needle during her appearance on NBC&#8217;s &#8220;Meet the Press,&#8221; refusing to say whether or not she believed Israel&#8217;s actions in Gaza had reached the level of  &#8220;genocide.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;I&#8217;m not going to weigh in,&#8221; Whitmer insisted, despite the fact that Democrat opposition to support for Israel had driven thousands in her state to vote &#8220;uncommitted&#8221; rather than cast a primary vote for President Joe Biden. &#8220;A lot of these terms are used to inflame and divide us.&#8221;</p>

<p>Senator John Kennedy (R-LA) joined anchor Shannon Bream on &#8220;Fox News Sunday&#8221; to respond to the ongoing situation between Iran and Israel – and he said that while he did not want the United States to be the &#8220;world&#8217;s policeman,&#8221; he also didn&#8217;t want that role to be filled by people like Russia&#8217;s Vladimir Putin, China&#8217;s Xi Jinping, and the Iranian Ayatollah.</p>
<p>&#8220;With those guys, if you turn the other cheek, you just get it in the neck,&#8221; he said, adding, &#8220;More sheep is not going to solve the wolf problem.&#8221;</p>

<p>Former White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki invited Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-MD) to her MSNBC show, where they did their best to breathe new life into the Trump-Russia narrative.</p>
<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s like Trump is the fourth branch of government and Putin is the fifth branch of government,&#8221; Raskin claimed. &#8220;The Republicans can&#8217;t do anything unless Trump approves it and Trump can&#8217;t do anything if his friend Vladimir Putin doesn&#8217;t want him to.&#8221;</p>

Weekend Media Wrap: ‘What About The Hostages?’

Vol. 39: What you missed if you weren't glued to the Sunday shows.

Fox News Sunday

NBC News

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Every Sunday morning, legacy media outlets are taken over by elected officials, aspiring elected officials, administration insiders, and the usual collection of talking heads — all of whom are there to discuss specific policies, push talking points, or simply promote their own campaigns.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">For those who don&#8217;t spend their Sunday mornings glued to the television — and their Sunday afternoons attempting to unravel a full week&#8217;s worth of network and cable news media spin — The Daily Wire has compiled a short summary of what you may have missed.</span></p>
<h3><strong>ABC News, &#8220;This Week&#8221;:</strong></h3>
<p>White House spokesperson John Kirby continued the Biden Administration&#8217;s apparent trend toward criticizing Israel, suggesting that Israel would need to prove itself before the United States had &#8220;confidence&#8221; in their strategy in Gaza moving forward.</p>
<p>Kirby explained that President Biden wanted to see &#8220;sustained changes in the way they&#8217;re operating on the ground and the way they are allowing humanitarian assistance to get in&#8221; to Gaza, &#8220;so that confidence can be restored.&#8221;</p>

<p><script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></p>
<p>Kirby went on to explain that over time, the Biden administration had expressed a &#8220;growing degree of frustration that we&#8217;ve had with the way these operations these operations are being prosecuted and the way that the Israelis are acting on the ground in terms of civilian casualties.&#8221;</p>

<p>White House National Security spokesperson John Kirby addressed reports of Israel Defense Forces executing a partial troop withdrawal from southern Gaza, and he explained that the move was designed to give IDF troops a chance to rest and regroup ahead of any additional planned action.</p>
<p>Kirby said that the IDF had planned the partial withdrawal in order to &#8220;rest and refit,&#8221; adding, &#8220;What they&#8217;ll do with those troops after a rest and refit, I can&#8217;t speak to.&#8221;</p>

<p>Israel has offered several times to suspend fighting and implement at least a temporary ceasefire if Hamas would agree to release more of the hostages — proposing similar arrangements to the deal that was released last year, which resulted in some of the hostages being returned home.

<p>Former White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki sat down on Sunday with Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg to discuss the continued fallout after the collapse of the Francis Scott Key Bridge in Baltimore — and Psaki&#8217;s chief complaint was former President Donald Trump had not joined other politicians in &#8220;acknowledging&#8221; the immigrant victims who were killed.</p>
<p>&#8220;I mean, Trump is running for president,&#8221; Psaki began. &#8220;He has yet to acknowledge the victims of the tragedy in Baltimore who were fixing the potholes on the bridge at the time of the collapse. All of them were immigrants — I have my own views, but why do you think he&#8217;s said absolutely nothing?&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;Just at a human level it would be helpful for the former president to weigh in here and show the solidarity that we&#8217;ve seen from most, if not all, elected officials on either side of the aisle,&#8221; Buttigieg replied.</p>

And so, ISIS there is able to grow unabated,&#8221; he explained, warning that ISIS and other terror groups had already suggested they aspired to attack the United States. &#8220;There&#8217;s no pressure on them.&#8221;</p>

<p>&#8220;Fox News Sunday&#8221; anchor Shannon Bream spoke with Rep. Ro Khanna (D-CA) about the 2024 presidential election, which is looming even closer as it appears both parties have settled on their respective candidates: President Joe Biden (Democrat) and former President Donald Trump (Republican).</p>
<p>Bream led with a poll that showed Trump with &#8220;an 11-point edge&#8221; over President Biden when it came to his handling of foreign policy, and asked Khanna what he made of the president&#8217;s reelection chances.</p>
<p>Khanna suggested that people had only soured on Biden because the war was dragging on, and argued that once the war was over — and Israel was secure — Biden&#8217;s poll numbers were likely to improve.</p>
<p>Bream pivoted to discuss the economy then, noting that in recent polls, over half of Americans (52%) said that they were &#8220;worse off&#8221; under Biden than they had been before he took office in 2021.

<p>Khanna pushed back, arguing that the country was still recovering from the COVID pandemic and claiming that Biden had &#8220;created&#8221; millions of new jobs — despite reports clarifying that most of the jobs Biden claims to have &#8220;created&#8221; were jobs lost under draconian COVID policies and lockdowns coming back after those restrictions were lifted.</p>

White House National Security Communications Adviser John Kirby Visits “Fox News Sunday”

Weekend Media Wrap, Vol. 37: What You Missed If You Weren’t Glued To The Sunday Shows

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Every Sunday morning, legacy media outlets are taken over by elected officials, aspiring elected officials, administration insiders, and the usual collection of talking heads — all of whom are there to discuss specific policies, push talking points, or simply promote their own campaigns.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">For those who don&#8217;t spend their Sunday mornings glued to the television — and their Sunday afternoons attempting to unravel a full week&#8217;s worth of network and cable news media spin — The Daily Wire has compiled a short summary of what you may have missed.</span></p>
<h3><strong>ABC News, &#8220;This Week&#8221;:</strong></h3>
<p>Former interim Democratic National Committee Chairwoman Donna Brazile echoed former White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki in voicing concerns about the potential impact of third-party candidates on the 2024 presidential election — and, specifically, President Joe Biden&#8217;s reelection chances.</p>
<p>Brazile warned on ABC&#8217;s &#8220;This Week&#8221; that third-party candidates like independent presidential hopeful Robert F. Kennedy Jr. or anyone the more moderate No Labels group could put forward might be able to draw votes away from an increasingly unpopular President Biden.</p>

<p>Vice President Kamala Harris also sat for an interview that aired on Sunday morning, and she was asked to weigh in on the ongoing war between Israel and the terror group Hamas, which is currently playing out in Gaza.</p>
<p>When asked whether the United States was prepared to move forward with &#8220;consequences&#8221; for Israel if a planned offensive in Rafah is carried out — on offensive that Prime Minister Netanyahu has warned would not be derailed even by pressure from the Biden administration — Harris was noncommittal: &#8220;I am ruling out nothing.&#8221;</p>

Vice President Harris Visits Selma, Alabama For Annual Bloody Sunday Commemoration

Weekend Media Wrap, Vol. 36: What You Missed If You Weren’t Glued To The Sunday Shows

<p>Former President Donald Trump sued ABC News and anchor George Stephanopoulos on Monday, arguing that the news host defamed him on-air multiple times.</p>
<p>Trump filed the lawsuit in a federal court in Miami, alleging that Stephanopoulos harmed his reputation after the ABC News host said during an interview with Rep. Nancy Mace (R-SC) last week that Trump was found liable for raping writer E. Jean Carroll, The New York Times <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2024/03/18/us/politics/trump-lawsuit-abc-stephanopoulos.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reported</a>. Last year, a jury in a Manhattan civil case found the former president liable for sexually abusing Carroll, not for rape.</p>
<p>“Judges and two separate juries have found him liable for rape and for defaming the victim of that rape. How do you square your endorsement of Donald Trump with the testimony we just saw?&#8221; Stephanopoulos asked Mace during the interview.</p>
<p>In a 20-page <a href="https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.flsd.664183/gov.uscourts.flsd.664183.1.0.pdf">complaint</a>, Trump’s attorney Alejandro Brito wrote, “These statements were and remain false, and were made by Defendant Stephanopoulos with actual malice or with a reckless disregard for the truth given that Defendant Stephanopoulos knows that these statements are patently and demonstrably false.”</p>
<p>“Indeed, the jury expressly found that Plaintiff did not commit rape and, as demonstrated below, Defendant George Stephanopoulos was aware of the jury’s finding in this regard yet still falsely stated otherwise,” Brito added, according to <a href="https://thehill.com/regulation/court-battles/4541257-trump-sues-abc-stephanopoulos-alleging-defamation-mace-interview/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Hill</a>.</p>
<p>Trump has asked for an unspecified amount of damages in the lawsuit.</p>
<p>Mace <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/nancy-mace-rips-george-stephanopoulos-over-tense-interview-about-trump-tried-to-shame-me-as-a-rape-victim" target="_blank" rel="noopener">blasted</a> Stephanopoulos during the interview after he grilled her on her support of the former president, referencing that the congresswoman had been a rape victim herself. She insisted the question was “offensive” and “disgusting.” Mace added, “You’re questioning my political choices because I’ve been raped.”</p>
<p>The jury in the civil case found Trump liable for sexually abusing Carroll and defaming her after the writer claimed Trump followed her into a dressing room at the Bergdorf Goodman department store and forcibly digitally penetrated her in the mid-1990s.</p>
<p><b><a href="https://onelink.to/dwapp" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" aria-describedby="sk-tooltip-9096" data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?q=https://onelink.to/dwapp&amp;source=gmail&amp;ust=1700760801843000&amp;usg=AOvVaw2PQrVSrJfhxNb4LcARqniG">CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILYWIRE+ APP</a></b></p>
<p>Trump has also attempted to countersue Carroll for continuing to accuse him of rape during appearances on cable news after the jury’s verdict. U.S. District Judge Lewis Kaplan, however, rejected Trump’s counterclaims, saying that “The difference between Ms. Carroll’s allegedly defamatory statements — that Mr. Trump ‘raped’ her as defined in the New York Penal Law — and the ‘truth’ — that Mr. Trump forcibly digitally penetrated Ms. Carroll — is minimal.”</p>
<p>“Both are felonious sex crimes,” Kaplan added.</p>
<p>The jury later <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/court-fines-trump-83-3-million-over-eight-times-lawsuits-request-in-e-jean-carroll-defamation-case" target="_blank" rel="noopener">awarded</a> Carroll $83.3 million in damages, finding that Trump owed Carroll $11 million to cover the costs of a campaign to repair the harm done to her reputation and $7.3 million to address the emotional harm the 80-year-old writer sustained from remarks Trump made in 2019 about her and her accusations of rape. The jury ordered Trump to pay another $65 million in punitive damages.</p>
<p>“Absolutely ridiculous!” Trump said in a statement following the jury’s verdict. “I fully disagree with both verdicts, and will be appealing this whole Biden Directed Witch Hunt focused on me and the Republican Party. Our Legal System is out of control, and being used as a political weapon. They have taken away all First Amendment Rights. THIS IS NOT AMERICA!”</p>

<h3><strong>CNN, &#8220;State of the Union&#8221;:</strong></h3>
<p>Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA) responded to a speech made earlier in the week by Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) – during which he criticized Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and called for new elections in Israel to potentially replace him — and said that he would not have taken things quite that far.</p>
<p>Schiff did say that Schumer&#8217;s comments &#8220;should be an earthquake in Israel,&#8221; suggesting that they should take the New York Senator&#8217;s speech seriously.</p>
<p>Schiff&#8217;s assessment comes just days after President Joe Biden, when asked about Schumer&#8217;s remarks, said only that he had given &#8220;a good speech.&#8221;</p>

Weekend Media Wrap, Vol. 35: What You Missed If You Weren’t Glued To The Sunday Shows

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Every Sunday morning, legacy media outlets are taken over by elected officials, aspiring elected officials, administration insiders, and the usual collection of talking heads — all of whom are there to discuss specific policies, push talking points, or simply promote their own campaigns.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">For those who don&#8217;t spend their Sunday mornings glued to the television — and their Sunday afternoons attempting to unravel a full week&#8217;s worth of network and cable news media spin — The Daily Wire has compiled a short summary of what you may have missed.</span></p>

<p>On ABC&#8217;s &#8220;This Week,&#8221; the conversation turned to the topic of President Joe Biden&#8217;s State of the Union address, and in addition to a panel discussion on the &#8220;curse&#8221; of the SOTU response — delivered this year by Senator Katie Britt (R-AL) — former Democratic National Committee (DNC) chairwoman Donna Brazile gave a glowing review of the speech itself.</p>
<p>Referring to Biden&#8217;s speech — labeled by many critics as the most divisive State of the Union in history — Brazile claimed that the president had delivered a &#8220;master class&#8221; to the American people.</p>
<p>&#8220;I thought it was a great speech,&#8221; she said. &#8220;Not because you&#8217;re a Democrat or a Republican, but you&#8217;re an American who wants to see the country succeed.&#8221;</p>

<p>&#8220;It’s one of the worst evils in the world. It’s not 20,000 kids that are unknown and unidentified, it&#8217;s over 50,000 girls and boys. There are so many boys and girls, and 65 percent of them are under the age of 12, and… 2,100 of them are infants,&#8221; Tebow told Bream.</p>
<p>&#8220;The tip of the spear for this fight is victim identification specialists. They are amazing front line heroes, but right now, we only have seven here. We need to have 100, 200,&#8221; he added. &#8220;One of the appeals we were making is to bring more funding … for these victim identification specialists. But it really starts with being able to build a team to identify (victims), and then partnerships around the world, because when you have one of these images or videos, you don’t know where this lead is going to take you.&#8221;</p>

Bernie Sanders: It’s OK To Be Angry About Capitalism

Weekend Media Wrap, Vol. 34: What You Missed If You Weren’t Glued To The Sunday Shows

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Every Sunday morning, legacy media outlets are taken over by elected officials, aspiring elected officials, administration insiders, and the usual collection of talking heads — all of whom are there to discuss specific policies, push talking points, or simply promote their own campaigns.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">For those who don&#8217;t spend their Sunday mornings glued to the television — and their Sunday afternoons attempting to unravel a full week&#8217;s worth of network and cable news media spin — The Daily Wire has compiled a short summary of what you may have missed.</span></p>
<h3><strong>ABC News, &#8220;This Week&#8221;:</strong></h3>
<p>A panel discussion on ABC&#8217;s &#8220;This Week&#8221; turned to Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) — the longest-serving party leader in U.S. Senate history — and his plan to step down from his Senate leadership role following the presidential election in November.</p>
<p>Donna Brazile, former interim chair of the Democratic National Committee (DNC), laid into the Kentucky Senator, claiming that his only real &#8220;legacy&#8221; was in &#8220;taking away rights.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;Mitch McConnell&#8217;s legacy is the courts,&#8221; Brazile said, referencing McConnell&#8217;s efforts to push through as many of former President Donald Trump&#8217;s judicial nominees as he could. &#8220;Mitch McConnell&#8217;s legacy is destroying voting rights, and I can say that today on, you know, Bloody Sunday. Mitch McConnell&#8217;s legacy is overturning <em>Roe v. Wade</em> because when he did not allow a sitting president to put his nominee forward, give Merrick Garland a hearing, that&#8217;s Mitch McConnell&#8217;s legacy and we will never forget it.&#8221;</p>

<p>Politico&#8217;s Jonathan Martin weighed in on President Biden and the ongoing chaos at the southern border, arguing that Biden had been &#8220;slow to realize&#8221; that he needed to address the issue.</p>
<p>&#8220;Biden&#8217;s paying a price because he was too slow on the issue,&#8221; Martin said. &#8220;He was warned by his pollster in the first year of his White House that inflation, immigration, and crime were rising issues with the voters and they were slow on all three, but immigration&#8217;s the one that&#8217;s been the most damaging I think in the last couple of months.&#8221;</p>

<h3><strong>CBS News, &#8220;Face the Nation&#8221;:</strong></h3>
<p>Rep. Ro Khanna (D-CA) made an appearance on CBS&#8217; &#8220;Face the Nation,&#8221; where he told host Margaret Brennan that he believes President Biden needs to do something bold&#8221; in order to better resonate with the Democrat Party base — some of whom have expressed anger over his continued support for Israel as it fights the terrorist group Hamas in Gaza.</p>
<p>Khanna then went on to say that Biden still had a chance to &#8220;become a hero,&#8221; and suggested the way to make that happen was first call for a ceasefire (which Israel has already ruled out unless  a deal includes the release of all hostages and the end of Hamas) and then be the first American President to &#8220;recognize a Palestinian state&#8221; and &#8220;have a two-state solution&#8221; (which Hamas has refused as long as /Israel is allowed to exist).</p>

<p><script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></p>
<p>Khanna took things a step further as well, telling Brennan that the U.S. should stop sending military aid to Israel and impose &#8220;consequences&#8221; on Israel over <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/israels-military-debunks-hamas-claim-that-it-targeted-civilians-waiting-to-receive-food-aid" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Hamas&#8217; claims</a> that humanitarian aid is being blocked by the Israel Defense Forces.</p>

<p>Senator Dick Durbin (D-IL) joined anchor Dana Bash on CNN&#8217;s &#8220;State of the Union,&#8221; where he made it clear that he was not interested in taking up an impeachment trial against Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas despite receiving articles of impeachment from the Republican-led House.</p>

<p>Durbin also used some of his time on CNN to complain about the Supreme Court&#8217;s decision to take up former President Donald Trump&#8217;s immunity claim — particularly the fact that their plan to hear arguments in late April could make it very difficult for Special Counsel Jack Smith to conclude the trial against Trump prior to the election in November.</p>
<p>&#8220;I&#8217;m really concerned with what they have done,&#8221; he said.</p>

President Biden Departs For His Second Visit To The Southern Border

Weekend Media Wrap, Vol. 33: What You Missed If You Weren’t Glued To The Sunday Shows

U.S. Politics

<p>X owner <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/elon-musk" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Elon Musk</a> mocked a news segment from ABC News this week that promoted President Joe Biden&#8217;s talking points about the Democrat-led Senate&#8217;s failed border bill, which critics and many experts have said would make the situation on the border worse.</p>
<p>The ABC News segment with reporter Mary Bruce happened on Thursday as Biden and former President Donald Trump both visited the border. Biden, who only announced he would go after Trump already made plans, visited a section of the border that has had little illegal immigration while Trump visited the epicenter of the border crisis that Biden caused.</p>
<p>&#8220;The president is expected to meet with Border Patrol and local law enforcement and to once again blame Donald Trump for tanking that bipartisan border deal that would have included some of the toughest reforms in decades,&#8221; Bruce claimed. &#8220;That legislation would have imposed stricter asylum restrictions, included daily limits on border crossings, and billions of dollars in new funding for security. But Donald Trump pressured Republicans to kill that bill to deny President Biden a political win.&#8221;</p>
<p>Numerous experts have <a href="https://www.heritage.org/homeland-security/report/the-senate-border-bill-disaster-border-security" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a> that the border bill would be a disaster for the border while top Republican policy minds, like Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, have <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/desantis-blasts-controversial-senate-border-bill-legalizing-illegal-immigration" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a> that the bill was a &#8220;farce&#8221; and would have &#8220;legalized illegal immigration.&#8221;</p>

<p>Musk fired back at Bruce&#8217;s remarks after a far-left pro-Biden account posted the segment on X: &#8220;People who get their news from legacy TV live in a fake alternate reality.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;Those so-called &#8216;toughest reforms&#8217; would have made invasion-level migration permanent,&#8221; Musk said. &#8220;That diabolical &#8216;Border Bill&#8217; deserved to die and shame on those who supported it.&#8221;</p>

<p>&#8220;Donald Trump was so confident, he barely even campaigned in this state, delivering a crushing blow to Nikki Haley in a state that elected her to the governor’s mansion twice,&#8221; Scott said, noting that Trump had delivered a decisive victory despite the fact that his opponent was former Governor Nikki Haley (R-S.C.).</p>

<p>&#8220;Would you not be doing what Israel is doing? You&#8217;d be doing a lot more. And all Americans that I talk to, nearly all, say that.&#8221;</p>

<h3><strong>CNN, &#8220;State of the Union&#8221;:</strong></h3>
<p>Governor Gretchen Whitmer (D-MI) admitted during an appearance on CNN&#8217;s &#8220;State of the Union&#8221; that she was unsure what to expect from Tuesday&#8217;s primary election — and she noted that the protest vote could prove damaging to President Joe Biden.</p>
<p>Whitmer was responding to some Democrats on the far Left who are angry with Biden&#8217;s continued support for Israel in the war against Hamas — such as Rep. Rashida Tlaib — who have called for primary voters to write &#8220;uncommitted&#8221; on their ballots on Tuesday.</p>
<p>&#8220;I&#8217;m not sure what we&#8217;re going to see on Tuesday,&#8221; Whitmer told anchor Dana Bash, adding, &#8220;I know that we have got this primary, and we will see differences of opinion. I just want to make the case, though, that it&#8217;s important not to lose sight of the fact that any vote that&#8217;s not cast for Joe Biden supports a second Trump term.&#8221;</p>

Weekend Media Wrap, Vol. 32: What You Missed If You Weren’t Glued To The Sunday Shows

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Every Sunday morning, legacy media outlets are taken over by elected officials, aspiring elected officials, administration insiders, and the usual collection of talking heads — all of whom are there to discuss specific policies, push talking points, or simply promote their own campaigns.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">For those who don&#8217;t spend their Sunday mornings glued to the television — and their Sunday afternoons attempting to unravel a full week&#8217;s worth of network and cable news media spin — The Daily Wire has compiled a short summary of what you may have missed.</span></p>
<h3><strong>ABC News, &#8220;This Week&#8221;:</strong></h3>
<p>Radio host Charlamagne tha God addressed the apparent open lane for third-party candidates in the 2024 presidential race, and placed the blame fully on Democrats for failing to get the job done.</p>
<p>&#8220;This Week&#8221; host Jonathan Karl raised the question, noting that Democrats have expressed concern about third party candidates — like Cornell West or someone running under the No Labels banner — and asked Charlamagne to respond.</p>
<p>&#8220;That&#8217;s their fault,&#8221; he said. &#8220;That&#8217;s the Democrats&#8217; fault. Because if Democrats were doing what they were supposed to be doing — especially for their base, which is black women a lot of times &#8230; 90% of black women vote or Democrats, 80% of black men — if you were taking care of your base, you wouldn&#8217;t have those issues. If Democrats were doing what they were supposed to be doing for the American people, they wouldn&#8217;t have those issues.&#8221;</p>

<p>Welker also pointed out the fact that Biden, when he ran in 2020, had promised to make himself the &#8220;bridge&#8221; that would lead to a new, younger &#8220;generation of leaders&#8221; going forward. So far, as he campaigns for reelection later this year, he does not appear to be stepping aside.</p>
<p>&#8220;Do you think it&#8217;s time to pass the torch?&#8221; Welker asked Klobuchar directly.</p>
<p>&#8220;I&#8217;m a believer in President Biden because I believe he&#8217;s a good, moral person that has the backs of the people of this country,&#8221; Klobuchar said, but avoided answering the question head on.</p>
