America leads the world in medicine development. It matters. We get new medicines first, nearly
three years faster. Five million Americans go to work because we make medicines here at home,
and not relying on other countries keeps us safe. But China is racing to overtake us.
Will we let them? Or will we choose to stay ahead? When America leads,
America cures. Let's tell Washington to keep us in the lead.

President Barack Obama. Virginia, we are counting on you. Republicans want to steal enough
seats in Congress to raid the next election and wield unchecked power for two more years.
But you can stop them by voting yes by April 21st. Help put our elections back on a level
playing field and let voters decide not politicians. Vote yes by April 21st.
Paid for by Virginians for fair elections. Yes or no, do you agree with Trump that this war is one?
I agree that we have devastation. We don't agree that we've won. He said we've won. Yes or no,
it's not a hard question. Well, I mean, if it's not well, well, well, because one or not,
if you consider a condition of winning, destroying their military capabilities, their missile
capability. We haven't. Wait, wait, wait, if that's true, why can't the straight-of-form moves
be open if their military is destroyed? Nice try Adam. What do you mean nice try? Scott
just wrote it all. And Trump, Tom Herman just, no, no, look, I've been, I've been
being polite to you all day and I'm done with it. So to look the, all right, wow, that had to
have been my most heated CNN debate yet. And I urge you guys to watch until the end because while
I'm debating Scott Jennings, there's a moment when the former attorney general of Virginia,
a Republican named Ken Kuchinelli, snaps on me. I still don't even know why he was so mad.
I'm trying to figure it out, but I looked him up and it says he's a huge opponent of homosexuality
and he wants prohibitions on same-sex marriage. So yeah, honestly, if this guy,
I urge you guys to drop a like on this video, watch until the end because it does get heated,
and help us get to two million subscribers on the out-of-mocker feed. We're starting a new
debate show of our own very soon. Love you all. We've won this, this war has been won. But they have
no Navy and they have no Air Force and they have no nothing. Oh, I think we won, but from a military
standpoint, they're finished. We've won. Let me say we've won. You know, you never like to say
too early you won. We won. We won the bet. In the first hour, it was over. In the first hour,
it was over, he said. And yet, bombs continue to fall. Troops continue to head to the region.
What does this even mean anymore? Ten Kuchinelli? Well, it's really all going to be judged
at the end, looking backwards. Are we not already at the end? The president keeps saying we're at the end.
No, we're not at the end. I mean, my understanding of what he's saying is that they've devastated
the military and that's accurate. It's hard to imagine, it isn't. But that doesn't mean it's over.
I mean, this is a regime that suffering is a tactic, even for its own people.
I will say what's different this time is that their leadership has been successfully targeted.
So they're not just contemplating other people's suffering. They're contemplating their own
suffering for the first time. And we can't see from over here what that does to the calculation
on that side. Nonetheless, they're human beings like everybody else. And that's going to factor
into how this plays out here in the next few weeks. I'm glad that we got Ken's very charitable
interpretation of what Donald Trump is claiming on a daily basis that we've won. But the reality is,
what the president is saying is incongruent with what's happening on the ground. And that's a
scary part here. There are two separate conversations that are happening when we're doing these debates.
There's a conversation that you guys are having, which is just whatever the administration says
on any given day, one day we've won the next day. There's negotiations the next day we've won
again. But there's the actual on the ground reality that we are mobilizing thousands of troops
to the Middle East. We are asking for $200 billion for this war. And I don't know, what are we
getting for this 86 year old common A was replaced with his 30 year younger son who's more radical,
more extreme is purging moderates. Can anyone tell me what we've gotten for this?
Well, I think that one question I would pause it here is to you, Scott, and this is what James
Mattis had to say. Okay, Mad Dog, Mattis, right? Very well respected, Marine Corps General,
former Trump Defense Secretary. He says this, Iran right now, if we declared victory, they'd say
they own the straight. You'd see attacks for every ship that goes through. We're in a tough spot,
ladies and gentlemen, I can't identify a lot of options. I know we've talked here and I think
one of the responses to what you just laid out is that the Iranians have funded bad actors across
the region for many decades. Many presidents in both parties have talked about how bad this regime
is. But Scott, the challenge is, okay, we've done this. We seem to have underestimated their
capabilities with drones, their willingness to dig in, the ways that they've attacked their allies.
And now Jim Mattis is saying you can't see a good way out, can you?
Yeah, I mean, the way out, of course, is for an international coalition to secure the straight.
And just in the news today is that the British Royal Navy has on its way. They've decided to engage.
I think that's the clear future here is after you decimate their military, take away their ability
to make nuclear weapons, take away their ability to have a ballistic missile program,
and defeat their willingness to be an exporter of terror. You have an international coalition that
a monitors these people and b, secures the straight. And obviously, virtually every country in
the world has an interest in the straight being open and secure and that they don't have a navy
or any capability at all to harass these ships going through. So I think that would be the hope.
And I think what the president said is true. We have decimated their military capabilities.
We've destroyed nearly all of their navy. We've destroyed all nearly all of their navy.
To me, if you exit this with an Iran that has a defamed as it relates to missiles,
as it relates to an aggressive navy, you take away their ability to make nuclear weapons,
and you leave the remnant here unwilling to be a supporter of terrorism, that is an unequivocal
win for the United States of America. I want to show you the very careful wording
Scott is using here. He's saying if that happens, which means that he disagrees with Trump's
statement that it already has happened. I also, I cannot believe you invoked an international
coalition just two minutes ago. When Trump already tried that, Trump announced two weeks ago,
he was gathering an international coalition of ships to escorts, there are countries to escort
ships through the straight of four moves. Guess what? No countries answered because he spent
the past year threatening to invade Greenland. So now, I mean, he said he didn't need them.
I was going to get there. Then he comes all the way back around to saying, listen, I didn't
break up with her. No, sorry, she didn't break up with me. I broke up with her. I didn't need them
in the first place. I almost have it. I want to ask you, do you agree with, yes or no?
Do you agree with Trump that this war is one? I agree that we have devastated the military.
Do you agree that we've won? He said we've won. Yes or no? It's not a hard question.
Well, I mean, it's not a hard question. I mean, if you consider a condition of winning,
destroying their military capabilities, their missile capability. We haven't.
If that's true, why can't the straight of four moves be opened if their military is destroyed?
Hold on one second. Here is the big picture question I do have here, Scott, is if it is true
that we have won, why are we sending the 82nd Airborne? Thank you.
To be prepared for what happens next? Why is the straight not open if we've won?
Yes, so one of the elements of the discussion is presumably nuclear materials.
And even with bombing last June, nuclear materials don't go away for thousands of years,
and that material can just be dug up and reused. So one of the really, to me, the only
reasonable basis to put our folks in Iran is to recover materials after an agreement has been
it. Would you support that putting American boots on the ground to recover it for your material?
After an agreement has been achieved to recover materials? Yes, so not as combatries.
You're saying under an understanding. Would you support us, Scott?
Well, we cannot exit this, in my opinion, without being able to assure the world
that they do not have enriched uranium to the point of an purpose of building a nuclear war.
We have to go boot theory around, so that is what we have to exit.
So let's talk about the fact that this Democrat won this seat, Adam.
Yeah, I mean, as funny as it is that this seat is, Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago district,
I think that the reality is prices are squeezing a lot of Americans. I know that people in my
generation do not like to see $4 gas. People in my generation were already feeling the pain of
the tariff tax that Trump imposed on American families in 2025, which was a $1,000 increase
for American families. You can add in the ACA subsidies, those compound.
But the real thing that I'm concerned about right now is the national debts.
The national debt added $8 trillion in the last two Middle Eastern wars.
And now we pay $1 trillion per year just on the interest of that debt.
And what are we doing, spending tens of billions of dollars on another war that could last,
whoever knows how, who knows how long? It's like, it's a lot of money.
And I do not want to be dealing with this debt crisis for my entire life.
I mean, well, I will have to say it's something that's a crisis I feel like I've been covering my
whole career in Washington as well. Now, Val Demings, I would like to mark a point of agreement.
I don't want to get in Balsway, but I agree with the debt.
And what would be the most effective way to deal with it?
I think Democrats cut everything. No, no, no.
Let me give this to Val Demings. This is your home state.
This is my home state. You understand the territory this has been historically.
I mean, yes, obviously it's not worth no worthy that Mar-a-Lago is there, but it's also fundamentally
registered that side. Mar-a-Lago is there, but representative-elect Gregory said it.
She focused on the issues that people care about. And at the end of the day,
people want to know, how's my life better because of the decisions that are being made
by the people in office? Her opponent put the president front and center,
who also said that he had the full and complete endorsement of the president.
Emily focused on affordability. The president said it was a hoax.
People don't like paying $4 for gas. They are worried about their future, their children's
future, the cost of housing, the cost of rent, all of the things that affect people's lives every
day. She's a small business owner in Florida. She knows what people are feeling and what they
are going through. And they elected her because they want to see someone who sees them
in office. It is ironic that Republicans lost this special election. They're going to lose
around the country, come to midterms, because of the same exact type of policies that
honestly Scott has been advocating for on here. Tariffs on the American families. People do not
like that. This Iran war has increased gas prices. We have the ACA subsidies being cut. I mean,
they continue to advocate and pass these policies that American families feel the effective
backfires in the midterms. This is going to be a big blue wave. But already was going to be
before the war in Iran. And this is the most visceral change that we've seen so far. When I drove
to the airport today, I passed by two gas stations and I was paying attention. American families
are paying attention to this. I'm old enough to remember when Democrats were advocating for higher
gas prices to bring about the end of the internal combustion. You only have to be fine. Now,
now all of a sudden gas prices are, which Democrats have a gas prices. All mad. They said, I want
higher gas prices. Gas prices to drive prices up to get rid of the internal combustion. Gas prices
was the one thing that that was the president's trump card, right? That gas prices were going down.
He just said that a couple of weeks ago at the state of the union. Gas prices are going up because
of the war that he has not even clearly explained to his voters why the gas prices are going up.
Why were we in the war? And so we're seeing the results of how people voted. Scott,
this does seem to be a situation where Democrats have been going down to the floor and they have
been saying we want to fund everything in DHS except for ICE. It does seem like, and we were having
this conversation in real time at this table last night, that Senate Republicans were able to
convince the president that they should do a version of that. Yes. That they would try to do
the ICE and the border enforcement funding along with the voter things that the president wanted
in a different way. And they would fund DHS. But that seems to have totally unraveled
throughout the course of today. And meanwhile, Americans are stuck in line.
I know. Well, I think you have it right. The Democrats originally asked for a situation where
they could fund everything but ICE. Republicans said, okay, they went over to the White House last
night. They got trumped to basically agree to that. There are 260,000 employees, by the way,
in play here. Only 6,000 of them have to do with the immigration enforcement. So what we thought
Democrats wanted to do was fund 254,000 workers. And now they're saying they don't want to do that.
And so it seems to me that they're moving the goalposts. It strikes me that there's a really simple
two-part solution here. One, go ahead and get the airport situation taken care of. I thought
everybody agreed to that. Maybe Democrats want to continue to inflict pain on the American people.
It sounds like they do. And the number two, Republicans go down the path of reconciliation,
knowing that it may be difficult to get it done. But that's probably the best way to do that.
Now, the ICE people are funded for the next two years, thanks to the big, beautiful bill.
So there is some cushion here. And my humble advice to Democrats would be, if you want to make
policy changes to ICE, the correct vehicle for that is when you do the next full-year appropriations,
that's when you can ask for things. But right now, the priority ought to be A, pay these poor
TSA people, B, in the American people moving the game and C, wait for years.
Say what you were going to do. Go ahead and follow what you were going to do yesterday,
which is fund everything but ICE. When it be nice to wait for years and make those policy
changes, but you know what? Two Americans have died on the streets at the hands of ICE agents.
And as a former law enforcement, but Democrats are asking for it. It's not unreasonable.
Body cameras, clear identification to identify yourself and to remove the mask.
You don't see police officers, local police officers on the street walking around like that.
And in terms of the TSA, we know that Republicans in the Senate and in the House give this
president whatever he wants. If this president wanted to fund the TSA, you'd say they don't give
this president anything and everything he wants. If this president wanted to fund the TSA,
seven votes, they would be funding the TSA. And we need to find a way to pay the most vulnerable
group with the most important job at the airport. Get them paid. Give me just a minute. Lesson here,
it takes seven, it takes 60 votes to do this. There are 53 Republicans.
And so, for me, that's kind of it. That's because it's a blit-rate tournament.
That's why you're ready to do it. We should not fill up us here.
The two-step solution you laid out would be good, but you're forgetting the third step,
which is then bringing it to Trump in Trump, shooting it all down. Democrats gave...
Okay, so your two-step solution got blown up by the very guy that you're defending, but okay,
we'll see about that. Number one. We won't, because Democrats won't vote for it.
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
What was more, the TSA is not being paid because the president could care less.
Democrats are not getting paid.
Listen, Democrats, please put up a bill for the eighth time to fund TSA,
because Republicans have shot it down here.
It was filed today. It was filed today.
Let's fund the co-star. It was public and it was filed today.
There does actually seem to be some consensus here, which is that the whole thing
should be funded by TSA. It does seem to be that he won't do it.
Trump is holding it up. We literally just laid out the Trump Trump agenda.
It's a rich branch of government.
This is the Senate. He's pulled the Republicans.
We're talking about this.
The Republicans do it every week, just a couple weeks ago.
But this is a different branch.
I want to have a free-oriented conversation slightly.
No, it's true.
The Congress is only going to look at me right now.
I'm sorry, yes. Thank you.
Okay, hello.
So we're going to look and see what Steve Bannon had to say about ICE agents at airports,
because, of course, in, we've been looking at how, right,
everyone's engaged in their own version of political theater and
bringsmanship and trying to look like they're the ones who have saved the situation,
et cetera.
One thing that happened here was that the administration sent ICE into the airports, right?
Definitely a lot of political layers to that decision.
But Steve Bannon posited that it was actually about much more
than just this current crisis.
Let's watch what he had to say, and then we'll hopefully talk, not yell about it.
Watch.
We can use what's happening with these ICE helping out, helping out at the airports.
We can use this as a test run, as a test case to get.
It's really perfect.
ICE's involvement in the 2026 midterm elections, sir.
Yeah, I think we should have ICE agents at the polling places.
I think it's perfect training for the fall of 2026.
Look, what happened?
They've moved everybody along.
People get there quick.
They vote quick.
Maybe every now and again, they posted me a lot.
Hey, yo, ID, got an ID?
What's he playing at here?
Look, there's a federal statute that forbids federal law enforcement
from being armed near polling places, and law enforcement doesn't go anywhere unarmed.
So he's pulling your chain and you're letting him.
That's just, that's been in the law since the reconstruction era.
There's also a peaceful transfer power in the law now.
There's also a peaceful transfer power in the law.
Get a full of me.
Got to see who broke the peaceful transfer power
for the first time in American history.
Nice try, Adam.
What do you mean nice try?
Scott just tried to get in trouble.
Tom Homan just, no, no, look, I've been, I've been being polite to you all day,
and I'm done with it.
So to look, the, this be me doing kind of attack on sensitive spaces
was made Tom Homan answered it quite well, the, earlier this week,
going into schools, hospitals, et cetera, and he, he called the bluff.
Name one time that's ever happened.
When someone, you know, in a hot pursuit, you could end up in there,
but enforcement actions are not taking place in those places.
Wait a minute.
They're not going to take place.
I said, started 200 court orders just in the state of Minnesota since this year begun.
Just because I point out that Trump has already tried to overturn an election,
doesn't mean that you can go on some random tangent.
I mean, we have people at this table who called Trump out
four causing January six articles about it.
So the problem with the proff,
back to ice, we had the airports.
The problem with ice being at the airports to supplement TSA.
They're just not trained to do what the TSA does.
They're certainly there.
They're gonna have a larger presence.
I'm not sure how that is really helping with the problems with the lines,
because they cannot help in the screen, right?
Actually we, we, I'm not sure, but what I do say is that this,
Alright, from there things go off the rails, but why was Ken Kuchinelli so mad at me?
You know, I looked it up and his nickname is The Kuch.
How is anybody ever supposed to be taken seriously with the nickname The Kuch?
I don't know, I'm gonna leave it there.
