paul ryan, that was outright excessive. wicz: ryan laid out a basic narrative. markus kaarma, twice a victim of burglars, reasonably thought diren dede was another one and dangerous. paul ryan: he thought that he was dealing with drug-seeking type individuals that were erratic. and who knows what they're-- how they were going to respond. josh mankiewicz: he told the jury his client had reason to believe diren dede was armed and ready to attack. and because he felt his life was threatened by the movement specifically of mr. dede, he had to take the steps, unfortunately, to take his life. the danger of a burglar is when there's a confrontation and they all want to escape and they'll do whatever they can to get away. josh mankiewicz: the defense said there was no debate over central fact-- diren dede went into that garage to steal. and on the stand, kaarma's lawyer got diren's friend, robby, to admit that despite warnings, diren didn't see much wrong with garage hopping. i think diren never felt like it was a crime. paul ryan:

you didn't have mitch mcconnell and paul ryan at the center of things. he didn't feel compelled to appoint officials who were going to push back on him, particularly on national security, as he did the first term. and as a result, you are going to get trump unfiltered, you know, and what we got on friday was trump unfiltered. his disdain for ukraine, his disdain for zelenskyy, uh, you know, who did not go along with his effort to strong arm him in 2019 and to ginning up an investigation into hunter biden, which led to trump's first impeachment. and, you know, a very clear signal to europe that, you know, he is more than willing to walk away and leave ukraine to its own devices against putin's, you know, larger war machine. well, if you think back to 2021, think about what the fall of kabul did to joe biden's approval rating. in fact, he went below 50% as kabul collapsed, never to rise above it again during his presidency. what would it look like? uh, for world opinion and u.s. opinion? uh, if kyiv ultimately does collapse, if trump does walk away and let

the paul ryan budget came out and declared war on medicare, and i was able to take that as a long shot this. these seniors up in in wyoming county and orleans county, in niagara county, you've heard the health care system. you made sure this little child who's got leukemia can never get get treatment again because now their insurance company can drop them. that's how i won by a fairly good margin in a district that i had no chance. that's what we have to remember. these republicans need to own that vote starting now. show up at their offices and say, if you ask what the impact is, joe, i have rural hospitals on the verge of collapse. doctors don't want to go there, but that does not mean i don't have high pockets of poverty. i have people who have major dental problems. i'm trying so hard to eradicate this, and i've got my own republicans from new york working against me, against their constituents. this is all about basic health care, maternal health care. this is about getting your insulin treatments. this is about trying to take care of your cancer. and this is about your grandma an

i remember when paul ryan was speaker of the house some years ago and proposed a serious idea for reformingal security and medicare keeping current retirees getting their checks and making some kind of accommodation for middle-aged people but then helping young people to invest in the stock market and other assets that would produce real returns. he west announced by the democrats who -- he was denounced by the democrats who showed him pushing an old lady over the cliff. it was funny but not a serious response to a serious issue. if you solve the problem, you do not have the issue. foresight, too many politicians would rather have the issue to run on and sustain themselves in office than they would to solve the problem. host: brent in washington on the line for democrats. caller: thank you for taking my call. as far as george soros, i never saw him running around the white house. my real question was, maybe i misunderstood, but a little while ago, i thought you were talking about hamas, basically they are evil and need to be purged from the planet. were you saying all those palestinian chil
