CNN data guru Harry Enten said on Wednesday that President Donald Trump was blowing his competition out of the water — both Republicans and Democrats — when it came to his approval rating with regard to foreign policy.
Enten spoke with CNN anchor John Berman about the latest numbers, which show Trump, nearly ten months into his second term, has a 43% approval rating on his foreign policy positions. Berman asked for context, wondering how Trump stacked up against past presidents in their respective second terms.

Trump&#8217;s foreign approval rating is up like a rocket compared to term 1.
He has the highest foreign policy approval rating at this point in his term 2 of any 21st century president.
Big reason why: Israel-Hamas conflict. E.g. His net approval is 40 pts higher than Biden&#8217;s was. <a href="https://t.co/8rzNjCphEJ">pic.twitter.com/8rzNjCphEJ</a>

&#8220;This is one of the areas in which Donald Trump is performing significantly better than he was in term one,&#8221; Enten explained, noting that during his first term in the White House, Trump&#8217;s approval rating on foreign policy had been significantly lower at 35%. &#8220;Up like a rocket, we&#8217;re talking about 43% now, that&#8217;s an eight-point rise. On the net approval rating, that&#8217;s a double-digit rise.&#8221;
Berman noted that it was almost expected for presidents in their second terms to pivot to foreign policy and do whatever they can to cement their legacies before leaving office — and he asked Enten how Trump stacked up in that regard.

Enten showed a graphic comparing Trump to the two other 21st-century presidents who served two terms — George W. Bush and Barack Obama — who had foreign policy approval ratings of 36% and 37% respectively, at the same point in their second terms.
&#8220;This is something I think Donald Trump really likes to look at because the bottom line is this presidents like to build their legacies off of foreign policy, and at this particular point the American people like much more of what Donald Trump’s doing on foreign policy than either of the two other twenty-first century presidents who serve at least — or served two terms,&#8221; Enten explained.
Berman asked whether Trump&#8217;s high marks on that particular issue had anything to do with how he&#8217;d responded to the war between Israel and the Hamas terrorists controlling Gaza, and Enten said it had likely been a major factor.
&#8220;The American people liked what Trump was able to do between the Israelis and Hamas,&#8221; he said — and pointed to Trump&#8217;s net approval on the Israel-Hamas conflict (+3) compared to former President Joe Biden&#8217;s (-37). &#8220;Joe Biden was 37 points below water by the end of his presidency.&#8221;

Sen. Adam Schiff (D-CA) claimed that the Department of Justice under former President Joe Biden could not possibly have been “weaponized” because Biden’s Attorney General, Merrick Garland, was not a particularly partisan actor.
Schiff spoke on Saturday at the Texas Tribune Festival, and he mocked his Republican colleagues in Congress — some of whom were actively targeted by Biden’s DOJ — saying that it was “absurd” to believe that Garland would oversee a Justice Department driven by politics.

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
“I listened in the Judiciary Committee to a lot of my colleagues across the aisle rail with just the most righteous indignation about the horrible weaponization of the Justice Department under that well-known partisan Merrick Garland,” Schiff began, his tone already mocking, prompting laughter around the room.
“And it was so fanciful as to be absurd, but they speak it with what appears to be total conviction,” he claimed, shifting his tone to convey shock. “And I don’t know, maybe they&#8217;re better actors than they used to be, or maybe they&#8217;ve so internalized the talking points that they&#8217;ve persuaded themselves …”
Schiff also raised eyebrows with other comments he made at the Texas Tribune Festival, particularly when he argued that lawmakers should not destroy presidents or make them “<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/adam-schiff-claims-lawmakers-shouldnt-use-politics-to-destroy-presidents">unsuccessful</a>” simply because it was “good politics.”
“That attitude that you can make a president or a party unsuccessful, no matter what damage it might do to the country, because it’s good politics — we have to get past that ruinous idea,” the California senator said. “We have to figure out a way to stop viewing each other as our enemy.”
Critics, of course, quickly pointed out the fact that Schiff had spent a fair amount of his time and energy devoted to doing just that to President Donald Trump.
Schiff spent most of Trump’s first term telling any media personality who would listen that he had proof of Trump’s “collusion” with Russia — proof that he never delivered. He then served as one of the House Managers during President Trump’s first impeachment in 2019, presenting a case that was so one-sided that it provoked an angry response from George Washington University law professor <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/impeachment-witness-professor-jonathan-turley-congress-committing-high-crime-and-misdemeanor-in-impeachment-without-going-to-courts">Jonathan Turley</a>.

Former President Joe Biden sent BS-meters across the country spinning out of control when he complained during a recent appearance that President Donald Trump and his family were making unprecedented profits off his time in the Oval Office.
Biden, speaking to Democrats at a gala in Omaha, Nebraska, reflected on Tuesday&#8217;s wins for the party and jabbed at Trump at every opportunity. In typical Biden fashion, he rambled from topic to topic with his tone shifting often enough — from barely above a whisper to a shout — that even <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2025/11/07/us/politics/biden-trump-omaha-nebraska.html">The New York Times</a> commented on it. &#8220;I just want you to know, you work for us, Mr. President. We don’t work for you,&#8221; he scolded at one point.
But at another point during the event, Biden questioned the audience directly, asking whether they had ever seen another president profit so much from the office he held.

&#8220;Has anyone noticed how much the Trump family has made while he’s been president? A reported $1.8 billion,&#8221; Biden began, his tone soft. He abruptly began shouting as he added, &#8220;Can you imagine if any other president in American history did that? Can you imagine what would happen?&#8221;
Critics were quick to point out just how ridiculous Biden&#8217;s accusation was, given the information that has come out over the years about his family and how they profited while he rose from the Senate to the vice presidency and then to the White House.
One solicited an explanation from Grok, which read, &#8220;Biden&#8217;s claim overlooks his family&#8217;s multimillion-dollar deals with foreign entities during and after his VP tenure, per House investigations and bank records. Trump&#8217;s family businesses operated separately, with him donating his full presidential salary to charity—hardly equivalent profiteering.&#8221;
And in addition to the fact that President Trump has donated his salary the entire time that he has been president, <a href="https://www.newsweek.com/chart-shows-net-worth-us-presidents-before-after-office-1992975">reports indicate</a> that Trump is the only president in recent history to see his net worth drop after a term or two in the Oval Office. When Trump first took office in 2017, he had an estimated net worth of $3 billion — and when he left office in early 2021, his net worth had fallen to $2.3 billion.
In contrast, President Joe Biden had a net worth of about $8 million when he took office, and $10 million when he left the White House in 2025. Former President Barack Obama saw much larger gains, going from $1.3 million to $70 million — and former President Bill Clinton&#8217;s wealth skyrocketed from $1.3 million to $120 million while he held the office of the presidency.

Former Vice President Kamala Harris recalled during a recent interview how then-President Joe Biden had &#8220;angered&#8221; her in the moments leading up to her one debate with President Donald Trump.
Harris told podcast host Steven Bartlett (&#8220;Diary of a CEO&#8221;) that Biden had called her prior to the debate, but that instead of giving her the encouragement and advice she expected, he&#8217;d made it clear to her that he was thinking only of himself.

&#8220;He did say that for the first beat. And then he went on to talk about a group of people in Pennsylvania who were saying bad things about me because they heard I was saying bad thing about him,&#8221; Harris continued. &#8220;And when I hung up the phone, I was just, I was, it was unbelievable!

Harris went on to explain that she&#8217;d actually wanted Biden to give her some pointers: &#8220;It just. It was so unnecessary. There are only two people in the world other than me that has debated this guy, Hillary Clinton and him. And you know what it’s like, it’s &#8230; Going into a debate with the stakes being that high and Trump hadn’t agreed to another debate, the stakes were so high. So that’s an example of what I mean.&#8221;
&#8220;You took something from that. You took an underlying message about one’s intentions from that, because I would,&#8221; Bartlett prompted Harris to follow that thought to its logical conclusion. &#8220;If someone called me in the lead up to debate prep and said something like that to me, I would assume that they don’t want the best for me.&#8221;
&#8220;My takeaway is his motivation was all about himself,&#8221; Harris replied.
&#8220;That’s what I would assume from that,&#8221; Bartlett agreed.
&#8220;Obviously, right. Yeah. It wasn’t about my performance at the debate,&#8221; Harris said.
Bartlett took the argument a bit further, asking, &#8220;Do you think he wanted you to win the election?&#8221;
Harris said that she did believe Biden wanted her to win, but she thought that his motives had been selfish: &#8220;I do because I was the only one who would be able to preserve his legacy.&#8221;
&#8220;But even that’s about him,&#8221; Bartlett noted.
&#8220;Well, if I had to assume one of the reasons why he’d want me to win. If– yeah,&#8221; she said.

Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley (R-IA) gave a <a href="https://www.rev.com/transcripts/arctic-frost-press-conference">press conference</a> on Wednesday in conjunction with a massive document dump relating to a probe — undertaken by former President Joe Biden&#8217;s Justice Department — code-named Arctic Frost.
Arctic Frost, which would ultimately grow into Special Counsel Jack Smith&#8217;s investigation into the 2020 presidential election, included nearly 200 subpoenas aimed at Republicans in Congress and Trump allies outside of Capitol Hill — from high-dollar donors and super-PACs to Mike Lindell&#8217;s MyPillow. Senator Ron Johnson (R-WI) described the slew of subpoenas as &#8220;nothing short of a Biden administration enemies list.&#8221;
&#8220;Arctic Frost was the vehicle by which partisan FBI agents and DOJ prosecutors could improperly investigate the entire Republican political apparatus,&#8221; Grassley said when he made the list public. &#8220;Contrary to what Smith has said publicly, this was clearly a fishing expedition.&#8221;
Grassley also revealed a few days earlier that the authorization for Arctic Frost had come from the top of the Biden Administration.
&#8220;Just received this doc frm DOJ Proof that Biden Atty General Merrick Garland + Deputy Atty General Lisa Monaco + FBI Dir Chris Wray all PERSONALLY APPROVED opening Arctic Frost,&#8221; Grassley posted the letter along with a brief comment. &#8220;This investigation unleashed unchecked govt power at the highest levels.&#8221;

It was only later that he&#8217;d learned that his name was only excluded because his wireless carrier, AT&amp;T, had effectively told the FBI to &#8220;go jump in a lake.&#8221;

&#8220;Twenty percent of the Republicans in the United States Senate were the target of this fishing expedition,&#8221; Cruz continued.
Senator Lindsey Graham (R-SC) rounded out the mid-week press conference with the assertion that Arctic Frost would never have gotten off the ground if Trump had not declared his intention to return to the campaign trail in 2024.
&#8220;So what I want to explain to the people of the country is that within several days of him announcing, &#8216;I&#8217;m to seek the White House again,&#8217; an avalanche began to form. And I really do believe that none of this would&#8217;ve been happening if Trump had set out the 2024 cycle,&#8221; Graham said. &#8220;But once he announced, I&#8217;ll have my own chart one day, we&#8217;ll show you what happened, and when it happened. Within about eight months of announcing, he had 91 felony charges against him in Georgia in New York and other places.&#8221;
&#8220;So here&#8217;s what I think that when he said he wanted to have a political comeback, it triggered the Democratic machine to destroy him before he could ever get started. And in their effort to destroy him, there were no boundaries,&#8221; Graham continued. &#8220;The goal was to stop Trump, and to look at anything and everything that could stop Trump and ignore the Constitution, and a lot of other things &#8230; I don&#8217;t think the 2020 election bothered anybody until Trump decided to run in 2024 legally.&#8221;

Former White House Press Secretary Karine-Jean Pierre has drawn sideways glances and harsh commentary from a number of her former colleagues since she began a whirlwind media tour to promote her new <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/biden-press-sec-karine-jean-pierre-says-shes-leaving-democrats-selling-inside-look-at-broken-wh">memoir</a>.
Jean-Pierre has shocked a series of interviewers across <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/cbs-host-baffled-as-biden-press-sec-insists-she-saw-nothing-wrong-with-her-boss-how">multiple networks</a> as she has steadfastly continued to insist — even after leaving the White House — that then-President <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/biden-insiders-sang-like-canaries-in-closed-door-testimony-the-president-was-not-all-right">Joe Biden</a> was fully aware and competent up to his very last days in the Oval Office.
As she travels from show to show and network to network, Jean-Pierre has continued to insist that she saw nothing concerning before the disastrous CNN-hosted debate between Biden and President Donald Trump — despite the fact that she was with the president nearly every day and had even been with Biden aboard Air Force One on the way to that debate. Her colleagues, some of whom have since come forward to admit that Biden was struggling, particularly in the later days of his presidency, have not had kind things to say about her press tour.
&#8220;She doesn’t seem to have any idea what she’s arguing,&#8221; one colleague told Politico of her book — &#8220;Independent: A Look Inside a Broken White House, Outside the Party Lines&#8221; — given that she worked inside the Biden White House, but has in recent interviews claimed that the &#8220;broken White House&#8221; mentioned in the title was President Donald Trump&#8217;s.
The real problem, according to most, is her apparent inability to field the most basic of questions in live interviews.

&#8220;A car crash is fascinating to watch. She was the top communicator for the president of the United States and she can’t get through basic interviews,&#8221; an unnamed strategist told Politico, adding that reading the print interview she&#8217;d done for The New Yorker was like &#8220;watching Mike Tyson fight a baby.&#8221;
&#8220;It’s like watching a toddler jump into the deep end of the pool,&#8221; another told the outlet.
&#8220;It’s a clear reminder of the communications struggles within the administration that included Karine but also included the president and vice president. The basic role of a communications professional is to devise a clear, compelling argument and then deliver it effectively over and over. By that standard, she’s 0 for two with this book,&#8221; one former Biden White House official added.
Others weighed in on that particular interview — and most were in agreement that it was not good.
&#8220;Absolutely surreal interview with Karine Jean-Pierre. The woman seems unable to follow basic arguments, understand questions, or even see how one statement connects to the next.

Australian news anchor Sarah Ferguson did not give former Vice President Kamala Harris an off-ramp during a recent interview, refusing to allow her to sidestep a direct question about former President Joe Biden and his obvious physical and cognitive decline.
Harris has been doing press for a memoir about her abbreviated presidential campaign — a memoir that spares no feelings as she flings blame for her loss in every direction but inward — and she appeared completely unprepared to address what was possibly the most predictable question of the interview.

&#8220;Wasn&#8217;t Joe Biden, then, to put it on him, wasn&#8217;t his refusal to recognize his own frailties the reason that you faced a nearly impossible task?&#8221; Ferguson asked.
&#8220;I ran against Donald Trump for President,&#8221; Harris inexplicably replied. &#8220;And Donald Trump ran on a platform that was in large part I believe misrepresenting his intentions to the American people. I do believe that there are a fair number of people that voted for Donald Trump who believed him when he told them that his first priority on day one is going to be to bring down prices, and he didn&#8217;t.&#8221;

&#8220;And you combine that misrepresentation of intention with also what was at play in terms of massive amounts of mis- and disinformation —&#8221; Harris dragged the interview further and further down the rabbit hole. &#8220;— and a truncated calendar in terms of the clock —&#8221;
&#8220;Now, I&#8217;m — forgive me — want to interrupt you — because that is a world-class pivot, but it is not the question that I asked you, which is about Joe Biden&#8217;s failure to recognize his own frailties and what that did to you,&#8221; Ferguson cut in and put a stop to Harris&#8217; ramble. &#8220;The question is about Joe Biden. Are you still reluctant to criticize the former president?&#8221;
&#8220;In what regard, please?&#8221; Harris asked.
&#8220;Just in terms of that question,&#8221; Ferguson repeated.
&#8220;What exactly would you like to ask? Be more specific, if you don&#8217;t mind,&#8221; Harris said.
Slowing her speech markedly, Ferguson asked again, &#8220;Was it Joe Biden&#8217;s decision, his failure to recognize his own frailties in that position, that put you in the position that made it almost impossible to win that race?&#8221;
&#8220;He was not frail as President of the United States,&#8221; Harris insisted.
&#8220;But he had frailties. We all saw the debate,&#8221; Ferguson pressed.
Harris hesitated briefly before replying, &#8220;I do believe that Joe Biden had the capacity to be President of the United States, and I have never doubted that he had the capacity to be President of the United States. If you want to talk about whether he had the ability to endure what a race for President of the United States would require in that political environment in 2024, as I have said in the book, I had concerns.&#8221;
Ferguson tried one more time to get a straight answer from Harris: &#8220;Yes, but I&#8217;m just wondering is there a reason why you won&#8217;t go to that prolonged frailty question?&#8221;

News Anchor Wrecks Kamala Over Covering For Joe Biden: 'That Was A World Class Pivot'

Australia

President Donald Trump ends his Asia tour with a much-anticipated sit-down with China’s Xi Jinping, a scathing report on Joe Biden’s presidency casts doubt on key executive actions, and Canada&#8217;s government is pressured to include minors in its euthanasia program.
It’s Thursday, October 30, 2025, and this is the news you need to know to start your day. Today’s edition of the Morning Wire podcast can be heard below, and <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/episode/mrn-251030-member-exclusive">the video version can be seen on The Daily Wire</a>:

<h2 style="text-align: center;">Trump V. Xi In South Korea</h2>
<img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-993375" src="https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2025/10/South-Korea-Summit-300x169.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="169" srcset="https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2025/10/South-Korea-Summit-300x169.jpg 300w, https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2025/10/South-Korea-Summit-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2025/10/South-Korea-Summit-768x432.jpg 768w, https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2025/10/South-Korea-Summit-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2025/10/South-Korea-Summit.jpg 1920w" sizes=" (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px" />
Topline: The eyes of the world turned to South Korea, as President Trump sat down with China’s Xi Jinping for a high-stakes meeting.
Trump v. Xi: President Donald Trump cut tariffs on China overnight after President Xi Jinping promised to purchase large amounts of farm products from the United States and crack down on fentanyl trafficking. 
Trump said the tariff rate on China would be reduced from 57% to 47% after a high-stakes meeting at the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) Summit in South Korea. In return, he said China promised to purchase American soybeans, sorghum, and other farm products and stop the flow of fentanyl into the United States.
“I had a truly great meeting with President Xi of China. There is enormous respect between our two Countries, and that will only be enhanced with what just took place,” Trump posted on Truth Social after the meeting. “We agreed on many things, with others, even of high importance, being very close to resolved.”

Trump added that China had agreed to “continue the flow” of rare earth minerals used in products ranging from cell phones to fighter jets. China had been looking to implement strict export controls on the minerals.
The meeting began late Wednesday night by United States time. 
Just minutes before the meeting began, President Trump issued a stunning social media <a href="https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump/posts/115460423936412555">post</a>, saying, “Because of other countries testing programs, I have instructed the Department of War to start testing our Nuclear Weapons on an equal basis. That process will begin immediately.”
The U.S. has not tested any nuclear weapons for the last 33 years. The timing of that message is no accident. In the last week alone, Vladimir Putin announced that Russia had successfully tested nuclear-powered, nuclear-capable cruise missiles, along with a nuclear-capable torpedo. 
North Korea also claims to have conducted missile tests of its own. But this appears to be directed at Xi, who has overseen a historic nuclear buildup in China, growing its arsenal at an alarming pace. Despite that apparent warning, once Trump and Xi met just a few moments later, the two were all smiles, with Trump cracking a joke as they shook hands.
<h2 style="text-align: center;">Biden Autopen Questions Grow</h2>
<img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-993373" src="https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2025/10/Signed-Without-Consent-300x169.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="169" srcset="https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2025/10/Signed-Without-Consent-300x169.jpg 300w, https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2025/10/Signed-Without-Consent-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2025/10/Signed-Without-Consent-768x432.jpg 768w, https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2025/10/Signed-Without-Consent-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2025/10/Signed-Without-Consent.jpg 1920w" sizes=" (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px" />
Topline: The House Oversight Committee has recommended that the Justice Department investigate the Biden White House’s use of an autopen to sign official presidential actions. In a 100-page <a href="https://oversight.house.gov/release/oversight-committee-releases-report-on-the-biden-autopen-presidency/">report</a> released this week, Republicans charged Biden staffers with covering up for an increasingly senile president and taking action without his knowledge.
Republicans want the DOJ to take a deep look at former President Joe Biden’s use of an autopen because many of the actions Biden took – or appeared to take – may not have been valid. Committee Chairman James Comer asked Attorney General Pam Bondi for a “comprehensive review of all executive actions taken during the Biden presidency.”
Comer also asked for special attention to be paid to White House doctor Kevin O’Connor, deputy chief of staff Annie Tomasini, and senior adviser to the first lady Anthony Bernal. They all pleaded the Fifth during the House investigation.
Comer v. O’Connor: Comer sent a letter to the D.C. Board of Medicine asking for a review of O&#8217;Connor’s work as the chief White House doctor. The report says testimony indicates that O’Connor “may have succumbed to political pressure” and hid Biden’s health decline from the American people.
Comer said the medical board should consider whether O’Connor “issu[ed] misleading medical reports, misrepresent[ed] treatments, or [failed] to conform to standards of practice” in violation of D.C. law. If any violations are found, the D.C. Board of Medicine could discipline O’Connor or even <a href="https://nypost.com/2025/10/28/us-news/biden-white-house-doctor-kevin-oconnor-referred-for-investigation-of-ex-prez-health-cover-up-could-lose-license/?utm_medium=social&amp;utm_campaign=nypost&amp;utm_source=twitter">revoke</a> his medical license.

<h2 style="text-align: center;">Canada&#8217;s Growing Euthanasia Movement</h2>
<img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-993371" src="https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2025/10/Euthanasia-For-Minors-300x169.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="169" srcset="https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2025/10/Euthanasia-For-Minors-300x169.jpg 300w, https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2025/10/Euthanasia-For-Minors-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2025/10/Euthanasia-For-Minors-768x432.jpg 768w, https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2025/10/Euthanasia-For-Minors-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2025/10/Euthanasia-For-Minors.jpg 1920w" sizes=" (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px" />
Topline: Canada’s euthanasia program is rapidly expanding, with some groups calling for minors as young as 12 years old to be included in the government-funded program. 
MAiD, or Medical Assistance in Dying, is effectively an euthanasia program funded by the Canadian government. It began in 2016 for people whose natural death was “reasonably foreseeable” and who wanted to end their lives. The program has only expanded since, particularly in 2021, when chronic illness and disability became included as reasons for someone to be euthanized. 
Since its inception, more people have undergone these procedures. Thousands of Canadians now do this annually.
Efforts to expand MAiD: Advocates want children 12 years and older to have access to MAiD. Current rules state that one must be 18 years old to be considered for this procedure.
The general argument is that children need more autonomy in health care, and the MAiD program is supposedly about “compassion.” Advocates also noted that minors can already consent or refuse certain treatments, so permitting this would be consistent. Finally, advocates will point to the Netherlands, where assisted dying for “mature minors” has been legal since 2002.
As for consent, one advocacy group called “Dying With Dignity Canada” recommends that minors between 12 and 15 years old have parental permission to be euthanized. It does not recommend that as a requirement for minors aged 16 and 17, however.
Morning Wire spoke to Dr. Aaron Kheriaty, a psychiatrist, author, and a director at the Ethics and Public Policy Center, about the euthanasia movement.
“Once you cross the line of allowing doctors to kill patients, once you cross the line of accepting the basic premise of the euthanasia movement, which is that some lives are not worth living and therefore these people should be killed by the medical profession, then it&#8217;s very hard to argue that there should be any limitations to that,” said Kheriaty.
In addition to advocating for minors to be permitted in the program, there is a strong push to include people who suffer solely from mental health issues. That section is set to take effect in 2027. 
Euthanasia is not legal in the U.S.; however, several states do permit assisted suicide. This is a domestic movement that is worth watching closely and has undoubtedly been influenced by our neighbors up north.

Much like the media talking heads and elected Democrats who waited until former President Joe Biden was well clear of political risk before they admitted he was not in top form, a number of those in his inner circle kept mum on the subject until President Donald Trump had returned to the White House.
In closed door testimony before the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, more than a dozen former Biden aides fielded the usual questions that follow any political scandal or cover-up: Who knew what? And when did they know it?
The Oversight Committee released a report on Tuesday on Biden&#8217;s &#8220;autopen presidency&#8217; — which sought to determine what decisions were made directly by President Biden and how many times might the autopen have been used to sign his name without his understanding of the issue or his knowledge that it was even happening. In pursuit of that information, they heard from 14 former Biden aides — some of whom took the fifth, and some of whom revealed the concerns they had previously left unspoken.
As The Daily Wire previously reported, a few revealed that despite making the rounds on the cable news shows in <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/aide-defended-bidens-mental-capacity-dozens-of-times-heres-how-many-times-he-met-with-biden">Biden&#8217;s defense</a>, they had rarely spoken to the president, much less seen him in person.
Biden&#8217;s White House Chief of Staff Jeff Zients told Oversight that the president increasingly forgot names — even names of people he saw regularly, as his presidency progressed. He also recalled working to &#8220;reduce the number of steps&#8221; Biden would take in order to decrease the risk that he might fall.
Months prior to Biden&#8217;s exit from the presidential race, in early 2024, Zients had referred to Biden as &#8220;energized&#8221; and voiced his confidence in a successful reelection campaign.
Senior Communications Advisor Anita Dunn defended Biden even after his disastrous debate appearance on CNN, telling MSNBC that &#8220;it wasn&#8217;t his greatest debate,&#8221; but insisting that Biden &#8220;has been a great president, and that is the case he is going to take to the American people.&#8221;
But behind closed doors — and after Biden had stepped away from the public eye — Dunn told members of the committee, &#8220;I thought his voice was softer and that his childhood stutter reappeared.&#8221;

Biden&#8217;s former Chief of Staff Ron Klain revealed the <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9hnFD4sWPRE">exact moment</a> during the CNN debate that he&#8217;d exclaimed, &#8220;We&#8217;re f***ed!&#8221;: Biden had given a lengthy and nonsensical answer to a question, and had ended his ramble with the phrase, &#8220;We beat Medicare.&#8221;
Klain also noted that the <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2025/10/28/us/politics/biden-decline-impairment-president-house-report.html">debate prep sessions</a> had concerned him, but had not alarmed him in the same way that the final performance had.

Just a few months earlier, Klain had been on MSNBC and <a href="https://freebeacon.com/democrats/now-it-can-be-told-biden-insiders-who-publicly-praised-his-fitness-sang-a-different-tune-in-closed-door-testimony/">had insisted</a> that Biden continued to be &#8220;great in meetings in the White House.&#8221;
Mike Donilon, a senior campaign strategist, admitted to Oversight that he had been part of the White House&#8217;s and the campaign&#8217;s efforts to limit Biden&#8217;s travel and activities, saying at one point that it was &#8220;a lot to ask&#8221; to have the president fly from Europe to Los Angeles.
But at an <a href="https://www.thecrimson.com/article/2025/2/14/iop-donilon-biden-democrat/">event at Harvard</a> in February of 2025 — even after Biden had left the White House — Donilon continued to defend him. &#8220;I don’t know how much time any of those people spent with him—I know how much time I spent with him,&#8221; Donilon said at the time. &#8220;I know what I saw. What I can tell you is every time I saw Biden overseas, especially in Ukraine and NATO, he was the voice in the room.&#8221;
Former Biden Press Secretary <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/cbs-host-baffled-as-biden-press-sec-insists-she-saw-nothing-wrong-with-her-boss-how">Karine Jean-Pierre</a> has remained entirely consistent, saying even in interviews promoting her new book that she never saw anything to make her believe that Biden was not at the top of his game. When the Oversight Committee spoke with her, she stood firm in that position and repeatedly referred them to the memo provided by Biden&#8217;s official physician, Kevin O&#8217;Connor. O&#8217;Connor, when questioned, repeatedly invoked his Fifth Amendment rights against self-incrimination.

Biden Insiders Sang Like Canaries In Closed-Door Testimony: The President Was Not All Right

Biden Administration

Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX) says he was not among the Republicans targeted and tracked by former President Joe Biden&#8217;s FBI — and he claimed during a recent podcast episode that it was largely thanks to his wireless service provider, AT&amp;T.
Cruz was responding to recent reporting on an operation code-named Arctic Frost that the Biden administration used to spy on a number of conservatives and even elected Republicans, including many of Cruz&#8217;s current colleagues in the U.S. Senate.
Senator Chuck Grassley released a list of senators who had been targeted through Arctic Frost early in October, naming Republican Sens. Josh Hawley (MO), Marsha Blackburn (TN), Lindsey Graham (SC), and Tommy Tuberville (AL), among others — but Cruz&#8217;s name did not appear on the list.

Cruz explained on the October 22 episode of &#8220;<a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/verdict-with-ted-cruz/id1495601614?i=1000732943212">The Verdict</a>&#8221; that he was one of nine whose phone records were subpoenaed by Biden&#8217;s Justice Department in an effort to investigate the January 6th riot on Capitol Hill — but that AT&amp;T had refused to turn over his information. The DOJ reportedly received information on the other senators from Verizon.
&#8220;All nine of them had their cellphone records handed over to the Biden Department of Justice,&#8221; Cruz said. &#8220;Now, I gotta admit just over a week ago, Sean Hannity was in town and I had dinner with Sean and with several of the senators on that list as well — and I was laughing with Sean, I was actually kind of offended. Like how did I get left out of this list?&#8221;
The Texas senator laughed, adding, &#8220;What did I have to do? I was literally standing on the Senate floor on January 6 objecting and leading the fight, and I had brought together 11 senators to stand together and fight for an election commission to assess the evidence of voter fraud &#8230; I was joking with Sean, but I wasn&#8217;t entirely joking.&#8221;
Cruz said the reason he had initially been left out was soon clear: &#8220;Well, it turns out the reason that I was not on the list, is apparently all eight of those senators, their cellphones are with Verizon — and evidence had come out that Verizon had handed over their cellphone information. Well, my cellphone is with AT&amp;T, and I didn&#8217;t know it at the time, but I found out late last week that Jack Smith sent a subpoena to AT&amp;T demanding my cellphone records, and AT&amp;T told him to go jump in a lake.&#8221;
AT&amp;T, Cruz explained, refused to give up the information: &#8220;I&#8217;m proud of them. They did the right thing, I appreciate that.&#8221;

House Oversight Committee Chair James Comer (R-KY) has unleashed what may be the most scathing Republican report yet on Joe Biden’s presidency — accusing the former president’s aides of orchestrating a cover-up of his mental decline and suggesting that key executive actions, including pardons, may not even be legally valid.
In a blistering <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/politics/comer-unleashes-biden-demands-doj-probe-autopen-use-scathing-new-report">100-page report</a>, the GOP majority on the Oversight Committee charged that Biden’s inner circle “hid the truth about the former president’s condition and fitness for office” as his cognitive faculties waned. The report claims that staffers relied on an autopen to sign documents, executive orders, and pardons without confirming that Biden himself had made or even understood the decisions.
“Faced with the cognitive decline of President Joe Biden, White House aides—at the direction of the inner circle—hid the truth,” the report declares. It concludes that any actions taken without Biden’s clear personal authorization “do not carry the force of law and should be considered void.”

That statement represents a seismic escalation in the House GOP’s confrontation with the Biden legacy. Comer and his allies are urging the Department of Justice to conduct a “comprehensive review” of every executive action Biden signed from January 20, 2021, through January 19, 2025 — especially acts of clemency. The report pointedly suggests that if Biden lacked awareness or intent in granting those pardons, Congress or the courts could deem them invalid.
With the report’s release, Comer and House Republicans are signaling that they may go further — potentially moving to void or challenge Biden’s executive acts, particularly his controversial pardons. That could set the stage for an unprecedented legal and constitutional battle over whether a president’s diminished capacity can nullify his official decisions.
The committee’s findings paint a portrait of chaos inside the Biden White House, citing what it calls a “haphazard documentation process” surrounding the flurry of last-minute pardons — including the extraordinary clemency Biden granted to his own family members, such as his son, Hunter, his brother, James, and two sisters, Dr. Anthony Fauci, General Mark Milley, and even members of the January 6th Committee, which included now-Senator Adam Schiff (D-CA), Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-MD) and Rep. Bennie Thompson (D-MS).  
Particularly explosive are revelations that Hunter Biden, according to testimony from former Chief of Staff Jeff Zients, participated in pardon discussions involving his relatives. “Zients testified that President Biden included his son, Hunter Biden, in the decision-making process,” the report says — suggesting a conflict of interest unprecedented in presidential history.
Comer also zeroed in on Dr. Kevin O’Connor, Biden’s longtime physician, blasting him for invoking the Fifth Amendment during questioning and calling on the D.C. Board of Medicine to investigate whether O’Connor issued “false or misleading” medical reports. The committee accuses him of bowing to “political pressure” and participating in a “cover-up” of Biden’s health condition.
Comer insists the evidence points to a coordinated deception. “The American people deserve to know who was actually calling the shots in the Biden White House,” he <a href="https://oversight.house.gov/landing/the-biden-autopen-presidency/?highlight=autopen">said</a>. “It wasn’t Joe Biden.”
As Comer bluntly put it, “They propped up a man unfit to lead — and lied to the American people while doing it.”

After months of defending former President Joe Biden from criticisms — about his age, frailty, and obvious cognitive impairment — &#8220;The View&#8221; host Ana Navarro tore into President Donald Trump and claimed that he was beginning to show his age.
Navarro, a self-described Republican who supported Biden and even spoke at the 2024 Democratic National Convention, weighed in on a conversation with her cohosts about whether or not Trump would attempt to run for a third term as President of the United States.
Sunny Hostin claimed that Trump was clearly laying the groundwork to make himself a dictator for life, arguing that he would not be renovating anything at the White House — like so many previous presidents have — unless he planned to refuse to vacate the residence at the end of his term.
&#8220;I have come to the conclusion that he is most definitely going to try to remain in power, because remember, that East Wing, it&#8217;s going to take a long time to build that. He is hooking up the White House because he doesn&#8217;t plan on leaving it! I don&#8217;t think he plans on leaving!&#8221; she insisted.

Navarro followed that by agreeing, &#8220;He wants to be an emperor, he wants to be an authoritarian&#8221; — and then argued that he would be too old to do the job by then anyway.
&#8220;The ironic thing though, is there were a lot of people who thought Joe Biden was too old to run,&#8221; she added. &#8220;Donald Trump is already the oldest president ever elected in history, he would be 82 in 2028. We&#8217;ve all seen the swollen ankles, we&#8217;ve all seen the bruises on his hands, you know, this is a man who is showing his age and the health issues that often come along with being elderly.&#8221;

Trump, who has previously hinted at the possibility of running for a third term, told NBC News anchor Kristen Welker in early May that he would not do so. &#8220;I&#8217;ll be an eight-year president, I&#8217;ll be a two-term president. I always thought that was very important,&#8221; he said.
