#trump #gaza #usaid
Your first duty is to the Constitution, sir.
Like the Bible, I doubt he has ever read it. He bases both his alleged Christianity and personal interpretation of what should be legal on his own interpretation and opinion.
Republicans only use the constitution against democrats. They dont actually intend to follow it.
He thinks the constitution means whatever trump wants
That'll Work.
@@johnhasbrouck6955 I like what one of his former senior staff said during the hearings, that he believes the Constitution is divinely inspired. Even if you're not at religious I think you can agree with that.
And if you are a colonel, you have taken an oath to the Constitution, not the President of the United States.
Which states the President is the commander in chief! Did you forget that part!😅
@@evol111 The US President would be giving an unlawful order if he directed the military to attack a friendly nation that has not provoked us. Canada has been a faithful, friendly nation to the USA. Trump is a rogue imperialist president completely detached to the realities of the 21st century.
This guys is SO wrong! Canada is a sovereign nation. Hands off!
forget Canada, let's just give them Minnesota and call it even....bye Ilan Omar
No it will be 51st state 😂
Do as DJT did with all of the criminal acts he has committed! Reject and disobey DJT's "executive orders" and "effective immediately" orders that should not mean anything to anyone and any of their co-insane folks!
Waltz is wrong! Canadians don't want to be part of USA. I was there last month and many are angry. If those he knows like the U.S. then they can migrant to US for citizenship. I wouldn't mind if he'd help me migrant to Canada because i prefer being a Canadian than American after how Trump is messing up our country!
Get a passport and move.. Easy...
Bye!!
Canada would love to have you!
How has Trump messed up America? Move to Canada and be a fascist......
American paying Canada bills without out USA there would be no economy just relax or just move
Canadians don't want Canada to be a part of America and we are united on that. This is across the Canadian political spectrum.
the fact that his answer to "Is trump considering annexing Canada?" wasn't just "No". Is terrifying. Living in Canada we do NOT want to be dragged in to your kleptocratic state.
Join the Push Back Canada NO COMPROMISE, NO SURRENDER CANADA. WE HAVE TO "FIGHT THE POWER" OF THE ORANGE ANTI-CHRIST AND THE FORCES OF HIS BAND OF DEVIANTS.
I live by the border, I stand with you. Not this president ✊️🤝💙
Be very Scared.
@@MichaelSol-f1d no, be very angry.
@@kathyweis7451In total solidarity with Canada.
Apparently, FLOTUS has a new motto...'Be Hypocrite'
Explain.
Don't cut taxes for the rich if you're serious about cutting spending.
Shouting your position proves you're in the wrong.
There is a huge Tuberculosis outbreak right now. Do we want that here?
It's already here in the united state
I am completely confident that if Trump wasn't President at the time, there wouldn't have been a pandemic. Millions and millions of people died for nothing but Trump's negligence.
Walz didnt answer one question without referencing his great leader. They are pathetic beyond belief.
And Andy Kim is just fool of hot air. Wish we had real people running our government.
Walz is typical of the ignorant and lying republicans in the Chump administration.
This is Republican scare of Dump Trump
Senator do you have any original thoughts of your own? So sad that Trump owns the Republican legislature. It’s time for “We the people” to vote for independent leaders with spines. Republicans we did not elect Elon and we want him gone!
"We the people" just voted for this, and Trump told voters exactly what he was going to do. We wanted this and it's glorious.
@@SunshineJohnson-m8s We the people voted President Trump. I guess you want to turn back time and pay higher taxes for things that don’t benefit our country.
We elected Trump and Elon is on his staff.. He did not need to be elected. Might want to quit listening the MSM..
Yes. Musk should be gone😢😢
WINNERS are GRINNERS Democrats will always be SORE LOSERS..
Waltz does not make sense. Thanks for letting him go on and on like a fool.
Waltz - Shame on You!! If you don't want the "bloat" go to Congress!!!
Tim Russert was the best. Russert was a Truman- Moynihan type Democrat but stayed neutral and professional. Good man. Very much missed.
None match Russert -
Those days are gone.
Honestly Meet the press has not been worth watching since Tim Russert passed away. He was the best.
I miss Tim also,if someone was pulling the wool over his eyes he would let everyone know about it and with his voice nobody talked over him.
DEI replacements should learn a thing or two from the much loved, immensely capable, now departed host.
These interviews are such a mess. Nothing but clowns talking points.
They do not answer the questions they filerbust over and over again. Simple yes or not questions.
@@CarlosRodriguez-ox3bg Agree. Kristen Welker lets them get away with non-answers. She needs to get tougher.
GO ASK IVANKA WHY SHE GOT BILLIONS FROM USAID.
I almost turned this off with Mike Waltz 😡
What I see is The richest people in the world, cutting off food to the poorest people in the world

I look for this every time I watch the news.
Sara Fagen is delusional. DEEP DEEP DEEP into the Kool-Aid.
America; Banning Books and Buying Bullets.
Who WOULDN’T want to be part of that?……
Not 🇨🇦
Kristen needs to be more prepared for guests that spews lies, unfortunately it seems there’s no improvement.
And so you can personally specify, and then verify his so-called LIES? Democrats are so afraid of competence.
Walker is a low IQ DEI hire. What else did you expect?
The only way to prepare is to not invite MAGAtards who constantly spew nonsense.
She is WEAK!
It's probably difficult when you never know what nonsense they will say 😂
There is a process and these people are right to protest 100%.
So what is the process?
God bless 🇺🇸 trump 34:50
What a joke this show has become!
What a joke you have always been we are so sorry for the loss of your brain 😮
Why ?
@@armaellis6358 In know.... so sad.
Notice none of the Main Stream Media Shows the Money Fraud of where the money is really going it's disgusting....
Most fund spent have public documentation outlining where every penny goes.
If Musk and Trump haven't removed the Government websites, you should be able to find any answer you want.
Just because there are certain instances where money is spent in a way many may seem unwise, does not mean the money was stolen or mishandled.
I'm all for constant reevaluation of all money being spent, but not to cut everything and hope for the best.
Besides, does Musk and the Oligarchs need more tax cuts? Because that is where any monies saved will end up with Trump and the GOP.
None of them will talk about the waste
They don't have the right to control the purse that belongs to Congress period
They are correct we spend roughly $6 trillion. We take roughly $4 trillion but they don’t talk about what we spend $6 trillion on. The top six items that we spend $6 trillion on can’t be touched. Literally when you look at that $6 trillion 95% of it maybe more you can’t change. You can’t change Social Security that’s number one. Medicare is number two you’re not gonna touch that. Number three is literally paying interest on our debt. The military is # 4. You can’t touch that. The last two are Medicaid and VA benefits. That’s literally 95% of government spending or more and guess what none of it can be touched. So even if you got rid of the other 5% of spending completely which you can’t do because some programs we still need we kind of sort of need to fund health studies. We kind of sort of need to fund disaster relief College education, you know, education in general those things still have to be funded. Arguing about waste fraud and abuse fine it’s there, but it’s so small compared to the entire budget even if you got rid of all of it it would be less than a drop in the bucket.
You’re only solution to this problem is to either tackle spending in those top six which nobody is going to touch or you need to bring in more tax money. The Republican answer is always we will boost the economy and bring in more tax money. You need to bring in $2 trillion worth of tax revenue. You’re not gonna boost the economy in any sort of way that will bring $2 trillion more tax revenue. Your only option is to honestly raise taxes and reform healthcare. Now, if you reform healthcare, you can reduce what you spend in Medicare and Medicaid, but it’s going to require major healthcare reform and regulations and guess what nobody that’s a republican wants to do that.
Obamacare didn't save the government money.
What of we closed wealthy tax loop holes for super yachts, airplanes and G-Wagons. Then we could require them to pay into social security and Medicaid on ALL their income.
You can't cut the military! How would we survive without nationalist flyovers of fighter jets at sports games! Hardly bears thinking about.
@@mrsmoore4937 If they paid, they would receive benefits too... Ever thought about that? Which means still less for others. Got to be smart.
We could trim the military budget because there's plenty of grift in that area and SS can be shored up by the 1% that refuse to pay their share of taxes
DOGE
Destruction of Government by Elon
These are mostly personal vendettas with musk and Trump sickening despicable 4-year-olds.
MY GOD, USAID is LESS than one half of one % of the US budget!
With such a small investment in USAID, stopping this aid only OPENS THE DOOR TO RUSSIA AND CHINA. By threatening CANADA with tariffs, they will and are going to other countries to do their trading. WTH do these crazies think they are doing? Obviously, they are creating decades of economic chaos for many countries.
Doesnt matter
Get rid of it.
We could be feeding the poor or other good will civic projects here instead.
Yes, and look how much money they’ve spent without the support of US citizens because they didn’t even know. I don’t see any benefit in spending so much to educate Sri Lankan journalists and teachers about politely correct pronouns. If Sri Lanka values that education, let Sri Lanka pay for it.
@ agreed. Veterans.
But look at all the funny things they do! What better punching bag for ignorant American idiots?
Do you ever actually push people to answer questions? I cant believe you call this journalism
They let them drone on and on and they never answer the questions it’s disgusting
She did try to interrupt his ridiculousness but he done the typical trumplican thing. Yelled loudly, over her.
Trump has reminded me of my uncle. A ignorant person.
Waste, fraud, and abuse is at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave.
Has been for a long time. At least someone is cleaning it up.
Was at that address..
America's democracy has been assinated
Waste and fraud need to stop.
Then show Congress evidence. And don't use a political hack from Africa who paid $300million to Trump's political entities and who has too many Russian and Chinese friends to access US data and audit the US books. This is the fox watching the hen house!
It's used for US control over foreign people abroad.
TH-cam deleted my reply. But you're partly right.
Let's help the homeless tent cities here in America first. Let's start here for the sick & dying in America. No?
It's about controlling the globe with money.
TH-cam deleted my reply. But you're right.
The Sick and poor, and churches shut down,
"The bloat and the waste" perfectly describes the Trump administration.
Journalist. Why press people for a yes or no? Don't you know it's best to ask open-ended questions? Get it together.
LAZY, RECKLESS, CRUEL, INCOMPETENCE is the Trump and GOP way.
no proof. Du,mmy. Democrat is the reckless to let Federal agencies do money laundering.
Anything but lazy, you must not be paying attention.
70% support Trump. More has been done than Joe Biden in 2 weeks
$38 trillion dollar being used by Dem for the transgenders and funding Hamas, and illegal migrants for more than 2 decades. this need to stop
LAZY, RECKLESS, CRUEL, INCOMPETENCE is the Biden and Democrat way.
This show has become ridiculous. I feel sorry for those who watched.
You can always watch the Fox Entertainment Network.
@ they merged with Disney in 2018 then fired Tucker… No Thanks.
I won't do it. I read the comments and respond. This show has lost all credibility. Of all educated and prestigious African Americans, you reach out to a young poet. Where's "SISTA SOLDIER" "CHUCK D" KRS1?????😢😢😢😢😮😮😮😮
11:57 so $90k for a bag of bolts that are worth $150 for the DoD. I'd wager Republicans (pro-military) signed that contract. So it's pretty rich coming from a Republican.
yup and thus DOGE need to expose ALL of them. Democrats, Republicans, Independents!!! If people think this is some DEM only witch hunt.. they are mistaken.. DOGE is truly what is going to drain the swamp.... People this has been only like 2 weeks.. give them little more time here... EVERYONE is going to get exposed... hopefully we can bring common sense to the Federal Government.
Media does not serve the general public nor themselves when they push back as hard as they can against anyone associated with Trump but then they allow this Andy Kim guy give an extended one sided cases on USAID. Where is the push back? No one is questioning that USAID have some programs that truly should continue to be funded but why doesn't a single person that is fighting to keep USAID alive fail to address any single questions programs that USAID have funded over the year???
I must wonder about 4 people sitting at a table - interrupting each other. Not listening to what is said and waiting until finished before 'jumping' in with their arguments and I see a lot of disrespect. And these are news people?
People have problems with attention.
A panel with 4 people that hate Trump with the passion of a thousand sun's. Fair & Balanced?
I love Amanda Gorman I have her first book & tee shirt plus she thanked me in my old FB inbox for making peace on Skidrow los angeles 😁✌️

THEY DO NOT KNOW WHAT THEY ARE DOING!
Thank you Andy Kim!!!
Trump good 👍 president 6:05
The idea of President Trump is good. He should evaluate the Palestinian from Gaza Streep to USA and locate them there while the rebuilding of Gaza is going on
USAID budget should have been Doubled, if not Quadrupled. If we are the richest country in the world, should we not be tithing a small percentage to teach kindness, fight discrimination, fight poverty, fight climate change, and fight global diseases like future pandemics? USAID has saved over a billion lives. Now Trump wants countries around the world to partner with Russia, Iran, and China. To need them, to learn their values, to sell them their resources, to think of them as their allies, and to make them distrust or worse, enemies of America. Anyone who for a moment thought this was a good idea is stupid. Trump is going to give any money saved from gutting the government (EPA, Education, FBI, USAID, IRS, DOD, DOL, DOJ, FAA, NOAH, FEMA, HHS, CDC, FDA, HUD, VA) and their services, not to struggling Americans, it will go to the Richest Americans and contractors. You don't stop paying ALL your bills, to figure out if you have duplicated streaming subscriptions. Find the waste before cutting off needed medical treatments.
Its way cheaper to teach some kids to read and dig some wells then fight them when they are grown up.
No, it's my money they are stealing.
@@edboughton8792 Ok, you pay for it. I don’t want to pay for some of the insane expenditures that were hidden in the budget.
Not when we are $37 Trillion in debt. $ doesn’t grow on trees.
You don’t understand what @edboughton8792 wrote. There are consequences for cutting funding to help other counties in need. They will get help from someone else with bad intentions towards the USA. Sorry but half a percent is worth it for all of us whether anyone understands it or not. History is proof. All these shenanigans are to distract us from realizing they are cutting taxes for the wealthy and sticking it to the poor and middle class. Why do you think his best mega rich donor buddies were at the inauguration????? He sold his soul to the mega rich and they want their tax cuts and government bail outs when they want it!
Elon Musk isn’t just building wealth-he’s building absolute power. With access to your data-location, finances, biometrics, online habits-his AI is learning to predict, influence, and control.

The richest man on Earth is about to become the most powerful. #MuskPower #DataControl #AIManipulation

True North Strong and Free Here... Thank you very much for the kind offer, but no thank you. Our American cousins must understand that their view of the world is blurred by living inside a bubble. Canada is the largest democracy in the world by land mass. In this century, the next century and centuries to come, that will be our competitive advantage. We like America just the way it is. We don't want to spoil it by piling on another star... Another one, two or three stars. Hard to image the French Canadians will come along on the same one star. Then there are the Inuit, the First Nations, Newfoundland and Labrador... Sorry Donald, Canada ranks more than 1 star.

After the disaster of this President Americans will happily elect a female President.
Amanda Gorman? President? Yeah, that's exactly what we need: a poet defending our country against the greatest threats we have ever seen.
And you're too blind and ignorant to see that the real threat is already in the white house violating your privacy. But I get it ,this is a young black woman with far more intelligence than you will ever experience.
I'm done with MTP. The softball questions, the stupid music, commercial after commercial, why bother. I can't start my Sunday mad about something; sleep is the better option.

What ever happened to Chuck Todd? Is he speaking truth to power?
They made a swap
"Poetry is consistantly the language of a people" .....great reflection of Amanda Gorman
BOOK BANNING: Some books need to be banned. Elementary school children should not have access to pornagraphic material whether that would be pictures or text. Just using the phrase "book banning" is meant to bring up Hitleresque images of atrocious acts against Jews, etc. Yet civilized society MUST wisely choose right from wrong, and banning some content is absolutely necessary for the survival of society. Using the phrase "boobook banning" the way it is being used here is an abuse of rhetoric to promote a certain political agenda.
USAID needs to be reformed. Elon is doing a great job. Keep it up!

Other countries need to be rebuilt . Why are those people interested in rebuilding Gaza so bad. All of a sudden, they're playing compassion . What about taking off foods of the poor people's table.
Do you believe what the Bible says how about the end of days we are living in it right now open up your Bible and read it in the book of Revelation in the Bible King James version read and understand cuz everything's happening before your eyes all you got to do is open up your eyes and see and believe

Ask the countries that are receiving USAID if they want it? Do an audit. Get the US Congress involved they control the purse strings. Weapons being shipped with food were past discoveries. Food and war are real issues and the sovreign rights of Nations is paramount.
SHUT IT DOWN NOW!
Glad to see that NBC is doing a good job of filtering out opposing opinions.
We put America first!! If anything is left, we'll talk about aid to foreign people!
It's so ridiculous to hear the crying over pausing Usaid for 90 days. The awful waste of taxpayers' monies should enrage every single American.
