Gov. Tim Walz: "Not A Coincidence" Trump Is Targeting Minnesota, "I Don't Think Anyone Really Bel...

Minnesota Democrat Gov. Tim Walz responded to criticism from President Trump about large-scale fraud in the Somali immigrant community and from Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy about the state's standards for issuing commercial driving licenses to non-citizens during an unrelated event on Tuesday afternoon. "When the President of the United States sits up and tweets 150 times after midnight and targets certain people, it's not a coincidence they're targeting Minnesota," Walz said. "Minnesotans know us and our team. We led us through COVID. We led us through George Floyd. We brought our economy to one of the best in the country." "I don't think anybody in here really believes their motive and their timing is about actually doing something about this," he said. GOV. TIM WALZ: I think everybody in this room is smart enough to understand: when the President of the United States sits up and tweets 150 times after midnight and targets certain people, it's not a coincidence that they're targeting Minnes

Mayor Johnson: We're Going To "Eradicate" The "Sickness" Of "Jails,...

Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson's comments rejecting federal assistance to prevent crime, during a press conference on September 16, received new attention after another high-profile violent crime committed by someone with more than 70 prior arrests. "Jails and incarceration and law enforcement is a sickness that has not led to safe communities," Mayor Johnson said. "I'm going to work hard every single day to protect the people who are caught up in violence in this city. Guess why? You want to know why? Because the vast majority of them look like me." "This president has never asked a very simple question to me," Johnson said. "He doesn't talk to Black mayors about what it's like to live in communities that have been disinvested in. So no, we're not going to succumb to the sickness and the evil that Dr. King warned us about a generation ago." "It's a sickness, and we're going to eradicate it." Recently, I asked Chicago Mayor Johnson at a City Hall press conference about the vicious unprovoked murder

CNN's Enten: Shutdown Not Helping Democrats In Polls

CNN data reporter Harry Enten discusses the results of new polls from AP-NORC and Quinnipiac on how the public is responding to the partial government shutdown. HARRY ENTEN, CNN: You might think, given that the Republicans are in charge of both the House and the Senate, that a government shutdown might actually hurt the Republican brand -- but in fact, it hasn't. If anything, it's been helped a little bit. Take a look here -- the shift in net popularity versus pre-shutdown. When we're looking at the Republican Party overall, that brand is actually up two points. That's within the margin of error, but clearly it hasn't dropped. Come over to this side of the screen -- look at the net approval ratings for Republicans in Congress. It's actually up five points since pre-shutdown. So what we're seeing here is that the Republican brand in Congress has actually improved somewhat compared to pre-shutdown, despite the fact that Republicans control both chambers. And that's the math that John Thune and Mike

RCP Podcast: Brennan Under Investigation, Could Fall of Hamas Lead ...

Wednesday on the RealClearPolitics podcast, Andrew Walworth, Tom Bevan, and Carl Cannon discussed the House Judiciary Committee recommending the prosecution of former CIA Director John Brennan for lying to Congress about "Russiagate." After that, the group discussed the Beltway media panic over President Trump remodeling the East Wing of the White House to build a gilded ballroom, and another candidate, Democratic Senate hopeful Graham Platner of Maine, embroiled in controversy over a Nazi-adjacent tattoo. They also review a Washington Post op-ed by Mouman Al-Natour, a lawyer from Gaza who was held as a political prisoner by Hamas: "A Better Gaza Is Struggling to Be Born" And finally, Brendan Steinhauser, CEO of the Alliance for Secure AI, joins the show to discuss the future of artificial intelligence, safety concerns, and how it could be regulated.

Trump Praises "Darth Vader" Russ Vought: "He's Cutting Democrat Pri...

President Trump offered these comments on the "reckless and completely unnecessary" 2025 government shutdown and praised OMB Director Russ Vought as the "Darth Vader" of budget cuts. "They call him Darth Vader. I call him a fine man," Trump said about Vought. PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP: Over one million federal workers right now, as you know, are going unpaid. That's the Democrats' fault. And children, tourists--unable to visit the museums in Washington, D.C. We now have beautiful, safe streets, but we don't have the museums open. We should probably just open them. But we are doing things that nobody's ever done--nobody's ever seen. All of this, and the pain that the Democrats have caused during this reckless and completely unnecessary affair--you could call it the Schumer shutdown or the Democrat shutdown. You can call it whatever you want. And I will say this: we have Darth Vader--you know Darth Vader, right? Darth Vader is a man who, I think he's sitting--right? Is that Darth? Stand up, please. Da

Navarro to Council on Foreign Relations: What People In This Audien...

White House senior counsel for trade and manufacturing Peter Navarro spoke to the Council on Foreign Relations on Friday morning about the administration's general attitude towards China and economic fears over tariffs. Navarro delivered brief remarks, participated in a discussion on the Trump administration's economic strategy, and answered questions from the audience. He began with a frank assessment of the CFR's "establishment, technocratic, and globalist ideology" and contrasted it with the Trump administration's "America First" policy. "CFR has been uniformly anti-tariff and anti-Trump, and highly skeptical of an America First form of policy that, in truth, is restoring our trade balance, rebuilding our industrial base, strengthening alliances like NATO, keeping --and as we just saw in the Mideast, negotiating-- broader peace, and reasserting American sovereignty on the global stage," Navarro began. "Let's ask ourselves the obvious question: How did the gulf between the Council on Foreign Relat

Jeffries: Federal Law Already Prohibits Paying For Health Care For ...

House Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries commented on President Trump declaring war on an "enemy within" and disputed Speaker Johnson's characterization that the current government shutdown is a fight over paying for healthcare for illegal immigrants, this morning on ABC's "Good Morning America." GEORGE STEPHANOPOULOS, ABC NEWS: House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, your response first of all to what the Speaker said there about the president's comments on the "enemy within" and using American cities to train the military? HAKEEM JEFFRIES, HOUSE MINORITY LEADER: Good morning. It was a deeply disturbing statement the president made. We need presidential leadership that brings people together as opposed to tearing us apart. Certainly, it's the case that not a single American should ever be viewed as the "enemy within" or potentially as target practice for the American military. This is why the American people have rejected the deployment and occupation of American cities and towns and counties with Ame

Trump to Pfizer CEO on U.S. Drug Costs: "Albert, I Didn't Know You ...

President Trump, during an Oval Office event Tuesday, called out Albert Bourla, the CEO of Pfizer, for overcharging Americans for prescription drugs. "The United States has just 4% of the world's population and consumes only 13% of all prescription drugs, yet pharmaceutical companies make 75% of their profits from the United States," Trump said. "Think of that. We have 4% of the market, 13% of prescription drugs, and yet we pay 75% of the cost -- Albert, I didn't know you were that vile!" "I'm surprised. He's doing the right thing." "All new medications introduced by Pfizer to the American market will be sold at the reduced, most favored nation cost," Trump announced Tuesday. PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP: I think this is one of the biggest medical announcements that this office has ever made, because we're talking about price reductions -- as you'll see in a couple of minutes -- and they're incredible. For many years, Americans have paid the highest prices anywhere in the world for prescription dru

Sen. Chuck Grassley: Whistleblower Documents Show Biden's FBI Targe...

Senate Judiciary Chairman Chuck Grassley said < ahref="">during a hearing Tuesday with FBI Director Kash Patel that Charlie Kirk's group, "Turning Point USA," was targeted by the Biden-era FBI as part of the "Arctic Frost" operation that eventually evolved into specail counsel Jack Smith's investigation of Trump. Grassley to Patel: "In the short amount of time you've been Director, you've corrected whistleblower retaliation and increased transparency more than any other FBI Director I've seen." SEN. CHUCK GRASSLEY: Under your leadership, the FBI has apprehended several "Most Wanted" fugitives and secured the extradition of senior leaders of Central American gangs like MS-13. Now, it's well-understood that your predecessor left you an FBI infected with politics. I'm going to provide examples of that today, including making public new whistleblower records. At your nomination hearing, I made public records that whistleblowers provided me about Arctic Frost. Arctic Frost was the FBI case opene

Utah Gov. Cox: Kirk's Killer Radicalized By Video Games, "Reddit Cu...

Utah Gov. Spencer Cox blamed the internet and Reddit for the radicalization of Tyler Robinson, the man accused of killing Charlie Kirk last week, during an interview on NBC's "Meet the Press." KRISTEN WELKER: Governor, I want to ask you about something you said on Friday. You said, quote, "There was a radicalization that happened in a fairly short amount of time." How was the suspect radicalized? How quickly did it happen? GOV. SPENCER COX: Well, again, those are pieces of information that we're still gathering, trying to understand. We do know, and again this has been well publicized, that this was a very normal young man, a very smart young man, a 4.0 student, I think a 34 on the ACT, went to my alma mater, Utah State University, but was only there for a very short amount of time and dropped out after less than one semester. And it seemed to happen kind of after that, after he had moved back to the southern part of Utah. Clearly there was a lot of gaming going on. Friends that have confirmed t

CNN's Enten: Trump's Approval Rating Down 30+ Points Since February...

CNN data analyst Harry Enten zeroes in on President Trump's approval ratings: HARRY ENTEN, CNN: I do see something of a pattern. Sometimes we lose the forest for the trees, but I want to look at the forest—and it is one ugly duckling forest that we're looking at for Donald Trump. Look at this negative net approval rating. You know, we talk about one poll, the CBS News poll. We talk about another poll, the NBC News poll. Look at the aggregate polls and look how long Donald Trump's net approval rating has been negative. It has been every day since March 12th in the average of polls. We're talking about 181 days in a row in which Donald Trump has been underwater—swimming with the fishes. There is no good data for Donald Trump when looking at the aggregate and looking overall. He has been negative for a very long period of time, the vast majority of his second presidency. What about the issues? OK, what about the issues? You see this here, right? Is there any shining light? Is there any light at
