justices grilled san francisco city attorney michael steele about the epa regulations. >> it's prescribinghave to meet water quality standards, like how more clearly could you meet this statutory language than that? >> so the problem is, is that it it can be used as grounds for enforcement afterwards, but it doesn't tell permit holders in advance what we must do to control our discharges. san francisco is therefore exposed to crushing criminal and civil penalties, even when it otherwise complies with its 300 page permit. >> san francisco was supported by industry, trade groups and public works departments from other major cities. legal experts say if san francisco wins, epa will have a harder time cracking down on water pollution. the supreme court is expected to hand down a decision before its term ends next june. >> our time is 947 because of an increase in solar activity, you'll have a better chance of seeing the northern lights. even here in northern california. astronomers say there's a lot of activity on the sun that's causing the aurora borealis more often, and that display of light

i'm alicia menendez here with symone sanders townsend and michael steele. as of this minute, we are 34 days from election day 2024. a short time ago, democratic governor tim walz of minnesota and republican senator j.d. vance of ohio faced over the first and only vice presidential debate this cycle. folks, let's be clear. the debate might have seemed normal but must nothing was normal on what happened on that stage. j.d. vance tried to rewrite swaths of terms policy positions. flat out lied about issues like abortion, health care, and immigration. arguably the biggest moment of the night was the final moment. j.d. vance was on the debate stage tonight. mike pence, donald trump's former vice president had the audacity to certify the 2020 election results. here is what j.d. vance said when he was pressed tonight and trump's long- running election lies. >> would you seek to challenge this year's election results even if every governor certifies the results? >> first of all, were focused on the future. it is rich for democratic leaders to say that donald trump

. >> michael steel your thoughts on this, and i am curious, i really think tim walz defind the electionbate. as much as you can see vance trying to sane wash it. there's a lot of use of that word lately. but there are -- there are a swath of voters who are watching maga tv whether fox news, news max rumble or whatever else they have going on out there, and they are not hearing anything about this or very little. i really feel like the harris campaign needs to get into the arena. they need top surrogates going on fox news and going to the places and trying to talk to people, and he know that might be hard, and perhaps they are not welcomed. but then tell us that. i mean, we need to somehow get the entire conversation out there for all the american people to see, for all the american people to see the facts, and the choice. >> so, let's say this a couple i was. the first part. you are right. i looked at debate between vance and walz, as two fighters in a ring going at each other. one fighter vance, for, you know, out of a ten round bout for nine rounds, was winning on points. right. he wa

in the beginning that we knew from george bush to paul ryan to boehner to joe scarborough and michael steelebill kristol. all these people were never really conservative. trump exposed that. they seem to be the most vicious people against him now because -- i think dick cheney is a war criminal. i disagreed with democrats and the rotarians 25 years ago -- libertarians 25 years ago. host: your point is that all the republicans that have endorsed kamala harris or have gone against donald trump are not real republicans? caller: they were rhinos. they were country club republicans. trump is also a turncoat. he was a lifelong democrat. he's a street fighter. he also knows how to use the media. that is really what upset the democrats so much, that he betrayed them. he became a conservative. host: what do you like about him? caller: i like the fact he's a true conservative. i like with the guy from new hampshire was saying. securing the border is one of the most important things and the other guys never did not. i think like liz cheney, her endorsements are not going to really help with the middle

michael reed. you know, last spring in the dead of night that massive container ship crashed into the key bridge. within seconds steelto the harbor like toothpicks. 30,000 people lost their daily route to work, to school and to home. 20,000 port related paychecks became at risk. six construction workers were killed in the process. all were marylanders, hard-working strong and selfless. along with their families, as many as you did and i vowed to them we would never forget what these men did for the city. we do everything possible for this port as fast as it possibly could be. i'm proud to say with all the folks assembled here in the union assembly, you did just that. the port is back open for business. what you think the coast guard, the navy, the army corps of engineers help remove 50,000 tons of concrete and steel wreckage, 50,000 tons. some thought this channel would be blocked for six months or more. but you cleared it in 78 days. 78 days. [applause] on top of this my administration provides 60 million in federal funding for response and recovery. offered grants to displace port workers to get paid to help with t

was peed on in a bed and then the soviet union or that that michael cohen went to prague for a secret meetings where they believe the steele dossier it would take a year after. the steele dossier surfaced in 2016 before the media acknowledge that it was a dirty tricks operation run by the dnc, the hillary clinton campaign, the whole thing was fabricated and people still clinging, you know, this to idea that somehow trump colluded with russia and he stole the 2016 election. no, it didn't happen. half of americans continue to believe that it did. the women and the men who went to washington on january six knew better. that's because they had different streams of information, and it was information proving to be accurate and were making them at the same time and committed and driven to do something about it for many of these women and ashli babbitt included that russia collusion hoax set them onto an active path in the military she spent fourth where she spent 14 years as in military police work. ashley was a political. she voted for barack obama when she back leaving the military. she marries aaron babbitt comes to san diego
