<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 week&#8217;s spin revolves around the anti-Israel protests that spread like wildfire across college campuses around the United States — and how unpopular those protests have become as students took control of public spaces, harassed Jewish students, barricaded themselves in campus buildings, and vandalized property. How unpopular is that, you ask? Unpopular enough that legacy outlets, if there weren&#8217;t enough Democrats willing to criticize the protesters, brought in Republicans to do it for them.</p>
<p>On ABC News&#8217; <strong>&#8220;This Week,&#8221;</strong> host Jonathan Karl brought in Senator Tom Cotton (R-AR) to discuss the protests, and Cotton made it clear that he had no patience for protests that were essentially parroting Hamas terrorist talking points and then hiding behind the First Amendment, claiming their destructive behavior was protected.</p>

<p><script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></p>
<p>Cotton first laid into the schools for allowing the protests to carry on as long as they did, saying that the schools should have sent security in to prevent or immediately disband illegal encampments the moment the first tent went up.</p>
<p>&#8220;These students on campuses, they deserve our contempt. They also deserve our mockery,&#8221; Cotton said, referencing some of the &#8220;demands&#8221; — including gluten-free and vegan food delivery options — made by students who were illegally squatting in campus buildings.</p>
<p>Cotton also asked why schools had been so reluctant to stop the protests before they turned into full-scale occupations, saying, &#8220;Where were the liberal administrators and liberal politicians sending in the police on the very first day?&#8221;</p>

<p>Rep. Ro Khanna (D-CA) joined Margaret Brennan on CBS&#8217; <strong>&#8220;Face the Nation,&#8221;</strong> where he complained that the protesters who were engaging in acts of vandalism and violence — and those who were sharing anti-semitic signs and slogans — were damaging the credibility of what could have been a peaceful and effective protest.</p>
<p>&#8220;Those few protesters who are inciting violence or engaging in that kind of antisemitism are diminishing the thousands of young people who simply want the war to end. I guess I would say, look to John Lewis or Dr. King  — they, in their protests, were above reproach,&#8221; he said.</p>

<p>Khanna went on to suggest that President Joe Biden should visit the campuses where protests are taking place — some of which have been deemed too unsafe for students to attend their final weeks of class or even take final exams — and equated students chanting Hamas talking points while they blocked Jewish students from walking through their &#8220;camps&#8221; to the anti-war protests of the Vietnam era.</p>

<p>On CNN, <strong>&#8220;State of the Union&#8221;</strong> anchor Jake Tapper brought in former Senator Ben Sasse (R-NE), who is now serving as the President of University of Florida — and Sasse argued that the First Amendment should protect speech but did not necessarily extend to actions — especially when those actions included violence and destruction of property.</p>
<p>Sasse noted that protests had not disrupted the commencement ceremonies on his campus, but said that &#8220;the line is between speech and action&#8221; — and students understood that. He said that rather than clear out an illegal encampment, his administration had simply made the rules clear so that they didn&#8217;t set one up in the first place.</p>

<p>On <strong>&#8220;Meet the Press,&#8221;</strong> NBC anchor Kristen Welker discussed the protests with former astronaut and Senator Mark Kelly (D-AZ). Kelly said that once protesters crossed the line into taking illegal actions — engaging in violence, acts of vandalism, or other crimes — there was no reason for police not to step in and stop them.</p>
<p>&#8220;When they cross a line and when they commit crimes, they should be arrested. That’s the appropriate thing to do,&#8221; he said.</p>

<p>&#8220;Joe Biden — and he hasn&#8217;t done it because he&#8217;s weak and he&#8217;s feeble — but Joe Biden very early on should have done as I asked him to do back in October, if you&#8217;re in the streets of the United States, you&#8217;re here as a visitor, on a visa,&#8221; Rubio said. &#8220;You&#8217;re not an American, you&#8217;re here on a visa and you&#8217;re here to teach or you&#8217;re here to go to school, and you&#8217;re out there chanting on behalf of Hamas and Hezbollah — these terrorist groups, who by the way also hate America — we should revoke your visa.&#8221;</p>

<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 week&#8217;s spin began with Saturday evening&#8217;s White House Correspondence Dinner, where President Joe Biden issued the marching orders — namely, that it should be open season on former President Donald Trump — that all but one of the network Sunday shows dutifully carried out just hours later.</p>
<p>During his <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/biden-complains-about-disinformation-while-spreading-disinformation-at-whcd" target="_blank" rel="noopener">brief remarks</a>, Biden first framed the 2024 presidential race as a choice that would determine whether democracy was “still the sacred cause of America,” suggesting that the answer to that question was no unless the people reelected him. He then laid the burden on the press, claiming that the people would not have the right information to choose correctly if they did not act.</p>
<p>&#8220;We have to take this seriously. Eight years ago, it could have been written off as just Trump talk, but no longer, not after January 6. I’m sincerely not asking you to take sides, but asking you to rise up to the seriousness of the moment,&#8221; Biden said. &#8220;Every single one of us has roles to play — a serious role, to play in making sure democracy endures, American democracy. I have my role, but with all due respect, so do you. In the age of disinformation, credible information that people can trust is more important than ever and that makes you, and I mean this with the bottom of my heart, makes you more important than ever.&#8221;</p>
<p>Biden&#8217;s &#8220;Nerd Prom&#8221; exhortation came on the heels of an <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/biden-says-im-happy-to-debate-trump" target="_blank" rel="noopener">interview</a> with radio shock jock Howard Stern, during which he had complained that the press was reluctant to hold Donald Trump accountable, ostensibly for fear of retaliation from the former president.</p>
<p>And sure enough, as Sunday morning dawned, the usual suspects loaded up the last week&#8217;s worth of ammunition and turned their aim on Trump.</p>
<p>On <strong>CBS&#8217; &#8220;Face the Nation,&#8221; </strong>host Margaret Brennan cited recent polls and asked how it was possible that Trump was breaking even with Biden in several key battleground states.</p>
<p>Noting that Biden had won Pennsylvania, Michigan, and Wisconsin in 2020, Brennan asked CBS&#8217; elections and surveys director Anthony Salvanto why Trump was only two points behind Biden in Michigan and one point ahead in the other two states.</p>
<p>Brennan made no mention of the fact that Trump had won all three of those states in 2016, when he was running against former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.</p>
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">
<p lang="en" dir="ltr">Donald Trump and President Biden are now running even in three battleground states that Biden won in 2020: Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin. Why are they so close? </p>

<p><script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></p>
<p>Brennan also put pressure on Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY), peppering him with questions about the fact that he had endorsed former President Trump.</p>
<p>On <strong>CNN, &#8220;State of the Union&#8221;</strong> anchor Dana Bash took a similar tack with Senator Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) when she asked him to weigh in on Trump&#8217;s immunity claim — which was argued Thursday before the Supreme Court — and whether it worried him that the case could still be undecided come Election Day.</p>
<p>Graham turned Bash&#8217;s question on its head, firing back, &#8220;Why don&#8217;t you ask me — If he&#8217;s convicted in any of these trials, would it change my view? No. I think all these trials are political.&#8221;</p>
<p>The South Carolina Senator went on to argue that he didn&#8217;t believe Americans were going to decide their votes based on Trump&#8217;s legal troubles at all. Rather, he said, they would vote based on the issues that affected them personally: inflation, crime, and the ongoing crisis at the southern border.</p>

<p><script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></p>
<p><strong>&#8220;Meet the Press&#8221; (NBC)</strong> anchor Kristen Welker also spoke with McConnell about Trump, asking whether he was still committed to his promise to support the GOP nominee — even if it was former President Trump — and whether he regretted voting to acquit Trump in the impeachment that followed January 6.</p>
<p>McConnell&#8217;s response was simple: &#8220;I addressed this issue on January 6th and on February 13th. I stand by everything I said.&#8221;</p>
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">

<p><script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></p>
<p>And while CBS, CNN, and NBC certainly followed the Biden-prescribed outline, it was ABC&#8217;s George Stephanopoulos and MSNBC&#8217;s Jenn Psaki who truly outdid themselves, taking up the challenge like they were doing the Lord&#8217;s work.</p>
<p>On <strong>&#8220;This Week,&#8221;</strong> Stephanopoulos devoted an entire monologue to the &#8220;unprecedented&#8221; scene playing out before the American public as Trump is forced to do legal battle in multiple jurisdictions — which leaves Biden free to campaign in peace while still leaving enough time for Howard Stern interviews, weekends at the beach, and 1:00 p.m. lids.</p>
<p>&#8220;“Until now, no American presidential race had been more defined by what’s happening in courtrooms than what’s happening on the campaign trail,&#8221; he said.</p>

<p><script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></p>
<p>And as for the former White House Press Secretary — whose focus on <strong>&#8220;Inside with Jen Psaki&#8221;</strong> rarely strays from Trump — her usual &#8220;mostly Trump&#8221; show became the &#8220;almost entirely Trump&#8221; show.</p>
<p>Psaki brought in a few guests to help her take on the former President — including Andrew Weissmann, who claimed that the Supreme Court&#8217;s decision with regard to presidential immunity could spell disaster for &#8220;democracy as we know it.&#8221;</p>
<p>“We are essentially one vote away from the end of democracy as we know it,&#8221; he warned.</p>

<p><script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></p>
<p>Psaki herself delivered a monologue asserting that Trump&#8217;s plans, if he won, included a move to &#8220;dismantle the administrative state&#8221; — and suggested that he intended for the Justice System to &#8220;look the other way&#8221; while he did what he pleased.</p>
<p>&#8220;When it comes to Donald Trump, those hypotheticals that got tossed around in the Supreme Court this week aren&#8217;t really hypotheticals &#8230; This view of the presidency that Trump has – this absolute power, above-the-law mindset – is literally the plan for a second term,&#8221; she said.</p>

<p><script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></p>
<p>In addition to a conversation with former White House Chief of Staff Ron Klain — also focused on Trump — Psaki spoke with &#8220;Pod Save America&#8221; host Jon Favreau about &#8230; Trump.</p>
<p>&#8220;I think that the more Donald Trump is out there&#8230; talking about himself, his own grievances, him being the victim — that feeds into the message that Biden wants to get out there anyway, which is that Joe Biden&#8217;s fighting for people and Trump&#8217;s fighting for himself,&#8221; Favreau said.</p>

<p>The only person to buck Biden&#8217;s call to arms was <strong>&#8220;Fox News Sunday&#8221;</strong> anchor Shannon Bream, whose questions about Trump were reserved for Senator J.D. Vance (R-OH) regarding the possibility that he could be tapped as the former president&#8217;s running mate.</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>
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">

<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>
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">

<p><script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></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>

Sunday Media Wrap: All Eyes On Mike Johnson As House Pushes Through Spending Bill

<p>CBS News took a social media beating on Sunday night after a timing error caused affiliates in two time zones to cut off the broadcast of a concert special — right in the middle of Billy Joel&#8217;s iconic hit &#8220;Piano Man.&#8221;</p>
<p>The network had been touting the Sunday night broadcast of &#8220;<a href="https://people.com/inside-billy-joel-100th-madison-square-garden-concert-event-8628683" data-component="link" data-source="inlineLink" data-type="internalLink" data-ordinal="1">The 100th: Billy Joel at Madison Square Garden – The Greatest Arena Run of All Time</a>&#8221; for weeks, and viewers quickly took their dismay to X as the highly-anticipated event ended in disappointment.</p>

At the time, he announced that he was intentionally wasting the network&#8217;s time: &#8220;Valuable advertising time going by. Dollars, dollars, dollars.&#8221;</p>
<p>CBS released a statement following the SNAFU, chalking it up to a &#8220;network programming timing error&#8221; and promising to rebroadcast the event in its entirety on April 19th at 9 p.m. ET/PT.</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>Senator <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/fetterman-blasts-biden-for-not-standing-firmly-with-israel-i-dont-agree-with-the-president" target="_blank" rel="noopener">John Fetterman</a> (D-PA) joined CNN&#8217;s &#8220;State of the Union,&#8221; where he told anchor Jake Tapper that he was frustrated with President Joe Biden&#8217;s failure to stand as firmly with Israel as he had promised.</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. And I don’t know why there’s not more of that conversation in the media. Like, what about the hostages? What’s happened to them? Where are they now? And let’s just bring them home.&#8221;</p>

Weekend Media Wrap: ‘What About The Hostages?’

Vol. 39: 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>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>&#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.

<p>Former CENTCOM commander General Frank McKenzie joined ABC News&#8217; Martha Raddatz to discuss the fact that since President Joe Biden&#8217;s administration withdrew all American troops from Afghanistan — with disastrous results — the terror group ISIS has been allowed to grow virtually unchecked.</p>

<p>McKenzie went on to say that President Biden&#8217;s foreign policy — specifically his decision to abandon Afghanistan entirely when he pulled the last American troops out in 2021 — was creating an environment where ISIS could flourish.</p>
<p>&#8220;In Afghanistan, we have almost no ability to see into that country and almost no ability to strike into that country. 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 class="LC20lb MBeuO DKV0Md">Wilton Cardinal Gregory, archbishop of the Archdiocese of Washington, took President Biden to task during an Easter Sunday interview about Biden&#8217;s decision to lean in to celebrating Transgender Day of Visibility – which is traditionally held on March 31 – despite the fact that one of Christianity&#8217;s holiest days also fell on the 31st this year.</p>
<p>&#8220;I would say that he&#8217;s very sincere about his faith,&#8221; Cardinal Gregory, the first African American to serve as a Cardinal, began. But like a number of Catholics, he picks and chooses dimensions of the faith to highlight while ignoring or even contradicting other parts. There is a phrase that we have used in the past, a &#8216;cafeteria Catholic&#8217; — you choose that which is attractive, and dismiss that which is challenging.&#8221;</p>

<p>Rep. James Clyburn (D-SC) cautioned against giving additional aid to Israel in its war against the terrorist group Hamas, saying that when it came to making new arrangements for such aid, &#8220;leverage has to be used.&#8221;</p>

<h3><strong>FOX, &#8220;Fox News Sunday&#8221;:</strong></h3>
<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. Another 26% said that they had seen no change, and only 22% said that they were better off in that same time frame.</p>
<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>
<p>Khanna went on to say that Biden advocated for raising wages, but did not address the economic impact — primarily through automation and job losses — of a rising minimum wage.</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>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>

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>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>A federal judge tapped by former President Barack Obama ruled on Thursday to hold veteran investigative journalist <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/journalism" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Catherine Herridge</a> in civil contempt for refusing to reveal who her source was for a series of reports about a Chinese scientist working at an American university who was under FBI criminal investigation.</p>
<p>U.S. District Judge Christopher Cooper imposed a fine of $800 per day — nearly $300,000 per year — until Herridge reveals who her source was for the stories that she wrote while at Fox News.</p>
<p>“Herridge and many of her colleagues in the journalism community may disagree with that decision and prefer that a different balance be struck, but she is not permitted to flout a federal court’s order with impunity,” Cooper wrote.</p>
<p>Cooper said that Herridge, who is widely respected for being impartial and pursuing stories that many in the mainstream media ignore, must reveal how she learned about the federal investigation, which centered around learning whether the Chinese scientist lied about her military service and if her school&#8217;s student database could be accessed by the Chinese.</p>

<p>The Chinese national sued the federal government claiming that it gave Herridge information that violated their privacy, &#8220;including snippets of an FBI document summarizing an interview conducted during the investigation, personal photographs, and information taken from her immigration and naturalization forms and from an internal FBI PowerPoint presentation,&#8221; the Associated Press reported.</p>
<p>Fox News blasted the ruling in a statement late on Thursday: “Holding a journalist in contempt for protecting a confidential source has a deeply chilling effect on journalism. Fox News Media remains committed to protecting the rights of a free press and freedom of speech and believes this decision should be appealed.”</p>
