joe wilson is live at the emirates for us. a hugely significant evening for both sides. sides. i think so, i don't know, both sides. i think so, i don't know. is _ both sides. i think so, i don't know. is it — both sides. i think so, i don't know, is itjust _ both sides. i think so, i don't know, is itjust me? - both sides. i think so, i don't know, is itjust me? did - both sides. i think so, i don't| know, is itjust me? did those managers sound flat in those press conference clips, perhaps at the time of year and the sheer number of games that the concentrate on, arsenal, the next 15 games, the local go leak fa cups, premier league, premier league, champions league, premier league, champions league, and in amongst all that they cannot lose sight of this competition, which is intriguing about this semifinal in particular, you have two managers who are both made positive impressions on their clubs, to close with a strong history, ambition, but they need something tangible to show for all that, in other words a trophy. arsenal can look back on the fa cups they won under mi

district of south carolina. >> ladies and gentlemen, friends of france, my name is joe wilson, a member district of south carolina. i am grateful to serve as the cochair of the congressional french caucus, appreciating my personal french history. thank you ambassador for you being here today, along with the members of the american friends of lafayette and friends of our beloved ally, france. my appreciation is very personal of being here today in that the marquee arrived to assist in the revolution in my home community of georgetown, charleston, south carolina on june 13, 1777 and we greeted the general and what an impact he had on our country. we all know france is the first american ally dating to march 21, 1778, and when the french monarchy recognized the independence of the united states and then on diplomat relations august 6th, 1778. south carolina really cherishes its french history and we are grateful even today that we have the only functioning french church in america founded in 1844 in charleston. additionally,s leading patriot of the american revolution was hugonot, a belove

joe wilson was watching.their early opportunity — responsibility fell to gabriel martinelli. commentator: what a chance for arsenal to take the lead! - the priceless asset is the instinctive finisher. newcastle have one. when a chance fell to alexander isak, no doubt. he does that most weeks these days. he has done it again! isak doesn't score with every shot, sure, but when he forces the save, newcastle reacted. anthony gordon, a 2—0 lead in the first leg of the semifinal at arsenal — they did not get that far in theirdreams. arsenal had kai havertz in the perfect place to head a goal back, but he missed, he really missed. that was a shoulder sending the ball wide. arsenal supporters and their players must try to recover from this. decades without a trophy, newcastle can't wait for the second leg. they'll have to. there is so much football at this time of year, the second leg of this semifinal won't actually take place until...next month. but don't forget about it. there is, after all, a trophy at stake. joe

let's bring in now south carolina congressman and member of the house foreign relations committee, joe wilson. thank you for being here on set and i know all of your colleagues are gathering at a republican retreat. you took the time to get mere. here. and 119th congress, you have the narrowest majority, i think the second narrowest in 100 years, yet, we saw speaker johnson prevail it was at least, a statement was made by a few holdouts. how do you see things going? are there going to be bumps in the road ahead? >> griff, i'm grateful to be with an ole miss rebel. and indeed, i want to give president trump credit. he's brought us together and we had success on mike johnson on the very first ballot. there was prognostication of chaos, but it's a policy conference and so exciting to be there with john thune, the republican leader of the senate. working together, and we're looking forward to being on the trump team. it going to be mike johnson, john thune, it's going to be the house, senate, working together with the president for the trump agenda. griff: you know, we heard from your colleague,

jackie: to that point congressman joe wilson invited you to attend trump inauguration as his guest he'sovernment also demanding new elections. what should americans who are watching might not be fully aware of this issue? what should they understand about the risk of a georgian government that's aligned with russia, iran, and china? >> that's losing the strategic interest in america in the central region of the caucuses it is not only caucus but the black sea. the aim of the war against ukraine, is also the black sea, and the attempt to rig the elections in romania or in and u.s. interest also we have big ports of the black sea, which might be given to china. that's what is in the plans of these -- target i would say government what is in place today. so these are major u.s. interests together with european interests. which are at stake in this region. >> you had an opportunity to speak with president-elect trump at the invitation of french president macron. what did you tell him and what did he say back to you? >> i told him exactly that. that georgia needed to be supported today befor

he said, hey, that's the reason i asked joe wilson to come to all of my speeches. but that's the divisions that we have in the republican party. when they talk about foreign wars. i want it to be a foreign war, not here and i don't want to relive 1943 again. if we had stopped hitler. and september 17stalin poland. in five weeks, 60,000 poles were murdered. people should have noticed that and acted against the axis. >> kind of the division between us republicans -- those of us who look at allies like ukraine and israel and see them as manning the front lines so that we don't have to. >> that's it. >> and they ski those allies as pulling us into conflicts that are needless to us. >> i totally disagree. my view there -- in this conflict between dictators and democracies so sad lip it is a hot war for the people of ukraine and the people of israel. but they are responding and the courage and i like to point out my view of president zelensky and that is when the putin-esque accusations that he's scrubbed, i point out to people, let me tell you a definition of noncorrupt

i'm thinking of joe wilson shouting out at barack obama, you lie. i found that appalling. there are certain moments when you just put it all aside and be civil. and that's why i like fetterman going to see trump in mar-a-lago. >> yeah, it's fair enough. and, you know, i am interested to see, i mean, that that july moment, i was in the chamber for that actually, when that happened. and incidents like that have suddenly become kind of normal. right. and they didn't used to be. so let's see if we can get back to kind of where we were or not. michael smerconish casey. casey. yes, sir. >> when you go to when you go to the holiday, when you go to the holiday party, take a good look at the partner, take a good look at the spouse. that's the tell as to whether you're really respected. it's the tip for the day. >> that's a great tip. i'm going to keep that in mind for myself too. you know, like whether i'm showing it on my face if i don't give it away. all right, michael, thank you, i appreciate it. have a good weekend. and for our viewers, remember, tune in to smerconish. it's tom

christian was there, there's me, that's eat and regal, joe, judy bly wilson who is the woman all in blackon that mark consuelos and i are marr married. not only was she the casting director of all my children but she unbeknownst to her found me a husband. francesca james was there, lorraine broderick, our head writer. and then jennifer bassi. the person i have more fun with than anyone else. >> mark: i got to stop by backstage because i really wanted to see judy. i wanted to see everybody but i wanted to see judy wilson because she found way. she poked me out of obscurity. she found me in tampa. not only did she find me and they sent me up for an audition but once i got there she really fought for me. i had to reaudition for that job. while i was working a couple times. if it wasn't for her, like i said, i wouldn't be here. >> kelly: i know where i was, i know where i was standing, i was in her office and she goes i found him. i found matteo. he has never done anything. he's fresh out of college. i just found him. and she showed me her head shot and i was like that's the guy. i couldn't.

chairman, i had a couple of follow-up questions and first recognize congressman joe wilson who is herei'm sure in support of congresswoman stefanik. nice to have representation from the house foreign affairs committee. thank you. congresswoman, the u.n. security council for bosnia flew 2025, it's a constant challenge and i worry that backed peacekeeping is needed more than ever, because the leader who was sanctioned by the u.s. and continues successionist threats. if confirmed will you commit to building consensus for maintaining peacekeeping in the long-term? >> yes. >> another area that i'm concerned about is the work of the international organization on migration and the u.n. refugee agencies which is supporting thousands of displaced with the russian occupied territory. we know we have about seven million ukrainian refugees globally and displaced in ukraine. maldova, which is sandwiched between ukraine and has significant russian influence hosts refugees that are equivalent to 5% of its population, and dependent on u.n. humanitarian support. if confirmed would you commit to continu

we recognize congressman joe wilson, who i'm sure is here.nice to have representation from the house foreign affairs committee. thank you. congresswoman, the un security council recently renewed the mandate for althea in bosnia and herzegovina through november 2025. it has been a constant challenge, and i worry that the u.n.-backed peacekeeping mission is needed now more than ever. perhaps in greater force because of the republic of serbia co.'s leader, who is sanctioned by the u.s., and he continues his succession as threats. if confirmed will you commit to building consensus for maintaining that peacekeeping mission in the long term? rep. stefanik: yes. sen. duckworth: thank you. -- sen. shaheen: another i am concerned about is the international organizational migration and the u.n. refugee agency, which is supporting thousands of displaced from the russian occupied territory. we know we have about 7 million ukrainian refugees globally. the .6 million internally displaced in ukraine. moldova, which is sandwiched between ukraine and has sign

not just since woodrow wilson but in modern times since a barack obama and certainly joe biden.id enough of that. free speech a bill of rights the president this is very, very important to understand. what else makes him one of the great conservative presidents right now? taxes. president trump in the past is tax cuts the biggest tax cuts 5.5 join dollars over 10 years. he got the corporate tax rate from 35 -- 21 for the largest percentage point reduction at the top margin rate and history but now he was a cut 21 -- 15% for companies in america locating in america why should massively inc. prosperity jobs, jobs. child tax credit was increased by 573.4 billion over 10 years but larger than any previous change to credit specifically targeting families. trump's tax cuts included so the most substantial reforms of the tax code in american history part for example the tax cuts and jobs act nearly doubles the standard deduction to simplify estate filing. and now of course a new trump presidency there are several policies including extending the inspiring 2017 tax cuts and job cuts act

joe would head to the blue tent but return i mean he went down hard. looks scary for a moment. fourth quarter steelers staying alive. russell wilsono pat freiermuth moves into the end zone. 19 yard score, five point game late. fourth since he botches the punt off of a player right there. and then connor heyward. great recovery inbounds led to a steeler field goal. last chance for the steelers. fourth and 12. got to have it wilson incomplete pass and the bengals win 1917. and will need both the broncos and dolphins to lose tomorrow to make the playoffs. first game of the doubleheader. ravens hosting the browns. another afc north game. first quarter bailey's appy of the browns picked off by nate wiggins. and that is easy pickings. 26 yards to the house seven nothing. ravens fly out in front in the second quarter lamar jackson making his case for mvp to mark andrews 12 yards, put him over the 4000 passing yards and 40 passing touchdowns for the season. and then fourth quarter give the ball to king. derrick henry turns the corner 43 yards and he is gone. finished with 138 and two scores. ravens win 3510, securing the afc north title.

again, that is why -- joe biden is a textbook example of why the democratic party needs to disband and become a party of actual americans. i have not had a political party since pete wilsonas our governor. i have been voting for mickey mouse because of the hauteur of college and its close association with slavery and it should have been done away with the 14th amendment. my vote has not been counted since pete wilson was our governor. i have no say in this government at all. i do not have any influence of my congressman, he is going to be a republican. i do not have any influence of my senator, he is going to be a democrat. i do not have influence of roy president, i know that -- over my president, i know that in california, the electoral college votes are going to go for -- host: are you still with us? jim, an independent, a frequent caller. we will probably hear from him next month. sorry you got cut off thei where. -- sorry you got cut off there. another op-ed today about january 6, or an alternative january 6, says a different timeline, january 6, 2025, was going to be glorious with the media and harrowing retrospectives on trump in 2021, all the liberal talking head
