CBS News's Margaret Brennan defends socialism prompting Joe Manchin to respond: "Are you crazy?" Brennan: "Could you ever support a self-described socialist candidate?" Manchin: "No. No way. My God, no." Brennan: "Even if they have some good ideas?" Manchin: "I support the good ideas. But how could you support some of the crazy stuff they're for? Have you seen their platform? They're for dismantling everything that we know, whether it be, whether it be the structure of government, Congress itself, or the Senate they want to get rid of, and then they start talking about all the crazy things, no police, no this, no this, no that. Are you crazy? We want, we want, a crime-free area. We have to have police for that. Yeah. We want a strong defense, we want a strong border. But if Democrats can't say that, and they start lining up with the socialist demands of how... Energy will be gone. There'll be no energy, okay? We have right now a tremendous amount of energy we're producing, and the world depends more on us than ever before."

Scott Jennings SHATTERS the narrative of former Obama staffer Nayyera Haq after she tries to argue Iran is winning through mimetic warfare. “Do you think the Iranians would rather have their ENTIRE navy back or their memes?” HAQ: “The meme war and internet propaganda, which is something that the Iranians have been known for in influencing…” “And so they had, for all of our talk on our side, of all the people killed in the regime, they have been pushing out through multiple channels around the world, images of the American army generals…” Jennings lets her finish before landing the haymaker. JENNINGS: “Do you think the Iranians would rather have their ENTIRE navy back or their memes?” [Laughs in her face] “I mean come on! We have destroyed 13,000 military targets, and they have memes?!”

President Trump just called out the World Economic Forum and destroyed one of its core beliefs. The WEF pushes mass migration as a moral duty to help the “developing world.” Trump said no. He used Minnesota as Exhibit A, proving importing failed societies doesn’t work in the West. TRUMP: “The situation in Minnesota reminds us that the West cannot mass import foreign cultures, which have failed to ever build a successful society of their own.” Then he named names; Somalia and Ilhan Omar. “I mean, we’re taking people from Somalia and Somalia is a failed…it’s not a nation, got no government, got no police, got no military, got no nothing.” “And then we have this fake congress person who they just reported is worth $30 million. You believe this? Ilhan Omar, talking about the constitution provides me.” “She comes from a country that’s not a country, and she’s telling us how to run America.” “Not going to get away with it much longer. Let me tell you.”

There’s a lot of noise out there about what happened in Minneapolis today. But what @ScottJenningsKY just told the CNN panel cuts through ALL of it. This isn’t about one incident. This is a dangerous pattern within modern society. JENNINGS: “It strikes me that we are undergoing an epidemic of political vigilantism right now.” “Why are people showing up in vehicles, in convoys, not just in Minneapolis, but all over the country in an effort to obstruct lawful federal law enforcement activities?” “This is not an isolated incident. We’ve had hundreds of car rammings against ICE agents across the country.” “According to DHS, this lady in this car today, along with other vehicles, had been tracking ICE agents around. Why are people believing that they can drive their car into a federal law enforcement situation, and that’s somehow appropriate?” “I understand they don’t like the fact that these agents are enforcing existing immigration law… but that’s not how we change laws in this country.” “If you don’t like the law, you talk to politicians. You don’t drive your car into the middle of a building or a law enforcement situation.” “If I don’t like how much the IRS is charging me in taxes, I don’t drive my car into the Treasury Department. I call my congressman.” “Political vigilantism is being encouraged by Democratic officials like Minnesota Lt. Gov. Peggy Flanagan, who earlier this year told people to, quote, ‘put your bodies on the line.’” “And Governor Tim Walz has been calling these guys Gestapo all year.” “What do you think happens when you radicalize a base of people like this?!”

Well, that was unexpected. Kid Rock won over Bill Maher’s audience with an epic monologue about the degradation of the modern-day Democrat Party and how progressive politics are teaching kids to hate America. The moment the audience heard his final line, they erupted into applause. ROCK: “A Democrat’s never scared me being in office until just recently when all this crazy stuff has popped up.” “I think Bill Clinton loves the country. I believed Obama loved our country.” “Now these whack jobs are coming in here and I’m like, wait a minute… even if they don’t hate the country as a whole they hate a big portion of it, and they’re spewing this.” “And I believe our teachers have been a big problem, you know indoctrinating these kids for a long time now.” “We’re starting to see the fruition, they’re starting to raise up, I’m a victim and everything’s bad and America is just a big racist piece of sh*t country.” “Bad, bad America and we’re not celebrating what makes us great, which all of us being different and being together.” “Being the greatest country in the world!” It’s pretty seldom that a Republican gets cheers and applause from a liberal crowd with such an unapologetically patriotic message. This was a great moment.

Pablo Escobar’s cocaine empire made him one of the richest men alive - nearly $30,000,000,000, on the Forbes list seven years running. So when the most wanted murderer on earth wanted a whole country to love him, he didn’t use guns or bribes - he gave the poor 443 free houses, and they still worship him as a saint today In the video below, recorded in Medellín, you watch the most hunted criminal on earth move through a slum like a messiah - mobbed, blessed, adored - by people who knew exactly how he made his money and loved him for it Start with the scale, because nothing about it is normal. At its peak the Medellín cartel pushed some fifteen tons of cocaine into the United States every day, controlled roughly 80% of the world’s supply, and reportedly earned Escobar around $420,000,000 a week. He had so much physical cash that his people spent $2,500 a month just on rubber bands to bundle it - and wrote off a tenth of the entire fortune every year, because rats and damp were rotting the money faster than anyone could count it Now set that next to the thing that actually made him immortal. The 443 houses of Barrio Pablo Escobar, the floodlit football pitches, the clinics, the cash pressed into bare hands - all of it, against $30 billion, was a rounding error. Over the years he spent more on rubber bands. The devotion of an entire city, the kind that outlives a man by decades, turned out to be the cheapest thing his fortune ever bought Here’s what it really shows, and it’s bigger than one drug lord. The most powerful love money can buy is also the cheapest - because it isn’t sold by the rich, who don’t need you, but by people who have nothing, whose loyalty costs almost nothing and never expires. Escobar could fill a country’s morgues and still be worshipped in its slums, because he understood the exchange rate no one says out loud: to a man with $30 billion, a human being’s lifelong gratitude goes for the price of a roof He was shot dead on a Medellín rooftop in December 1993. Thousands tore through the streets at his funeral just to touch the coffin. He’d spent his billions on planes, armies, private islands and tons of cocaine, and every bit of it turned to ash or evidence. The only thing that survived him was the cheap thing - the houses still stand, the neighborhood still carries his name, candles still burn under his photo, and there are Colombians who, in dead earnest, are trying to have him made a saint. “I see him,” one of them said, “like a second God.” So the only question left is the one his own country still can’t answer: was Pablo Escobar a monster who bought his way into sainthood - or did he simply prove how cheap a human soul really is, once you find the person with nothing left to sell?
