if we go through the attacks, the famous attacks on the democratic national committee, if we go throughacks, including some in germany, france, different parts of europe, it always comes back to russia. stephen, i would appreciate to have at least some proofs of this attack. if you have some, provide me it. or some other countries. the us has done some requests to us and we have answered these requests. we have done some requests to the united states. we are working on that. well, i'm just not entirely convinced that however much evidence i provide to you, you're going to acknowledge what you've done, because let's take a different element of spying and russian activity on overseas soil. for example, the skripal poisoning, in which one of your former agents was almost killed by novichok nerve agent in 2018. he mumbles you're continuing to insist that was nothing to do with russia? i say it would be interesting to know information, at least some information about skripal issues. and we have sent some 5a notes to the uk, to the uk foreign office, just to get something to know about that.

we spoke earlier to the former executive director of the libertarian national committee. he claimed that widens flip flopping on. foreign affairs didn't help the situation and the country you know, it's hard to know what's going through biden's mind because he does change his mind on, on strategic issues. and he doesn't have any clear set of guiding principles when it comes to foreign affairs. so yes, there is certainly a risk that there will be a vacuum of power and the people that we may think are bad are going to come into power and might support terrorism. is to be expected. is to be pretty. you know, a lot of us who thought it was wrong to go into afghanistan and the 1st place also expected when we leave. it was going to be bad. otherwise, you know, and that's why you don't want to go in in the 1st place. so, yes, i think our 20 year war on terrorism is likely to generate more terrorism. meanwhile, additional us troops continue to be sent to the country after blood nadia increased the number he was sending in to help get american citizens out an additional $1000.00 a

this is where i think that the republican national committee actually did fail. they had advertised for 6 months leading up to the election that they were going to have lawyers on the ground. they were going to have, you know, a team fighting and making sure election integrity happened. and it didn't actually happen. so i think we need to go back to the drawing board if the republican party and take a look state by state of some of those electrolyze. i understand that happening to some extent, but we really need to make sure, especially given the rise of this delta variance that we don't allow. democrats do the same thing we did last time, which was to use the pandemic a for their own potential gain. taking a page from rama manuals, book never letting a prices go to waste. that's exactly what they did in 2020. we can't let it happen in the 2020 to mid terms and even into 2020 for presidential. same question to you t and i mean, if we're going to have the same infrastructure and playbook that the outcome will probably be no different. and i'm very concerned right

the national advisory committee for aeronautics was transitions into the national aeronautics and spacenistration, nasa, from 1950 19 1968. this program investigates the hypersonic regime. it has to do that in testing this aircraft, the x-15 as an aerospace plane. no longer are we talking about airplanes in the atmosphere, here is a vehicle designed to transition from the earth's atmosphere into the ages of space. over the course of 199 flights, there are three x-15 built by north america. taking that formula and really pushing the idea of especially higher and faster, you are looking at a vehicle that, in its present form you see design for the hypersonic regime. what that means, is it has to be a vehicle that can fly the atmosphere. it has traditional controls, you allow it to maneuver in the atmosphere. but also it needs a new system. and if you look at the nose of the aircraft, you see those two holes in front of that white rectangle. those are reaction controlled jets. as the aerodynamic ability to control an aircraft goes away, it actually uses reaction control jets to control the

unfortunately, many paralympic national committees are not providing reasonable accommodation and accessible conditions for everyone to go to the games. and these needs to change their needs to be transparent procedure to determine when apparently the pin is eligible to have personal support or so i look at this headline, this made this make me a little while ago this, that line power limping was told to navigate tokyo alone because she quit team the u. s. a. this seems like some huge dissonance going on here. linda, you start? yes. so i think what we need to start looking at is, you know, the law talks about, and i'm talking about us, talks about reasonable accommodations for people with disabilities. but i think what we're really talking about here is tools to facilitate performance, right? and that's a different question, and she simply needed a tool to facilitate her performance, which was personal support to navigate the flight and you know, getting around tokyo. and so i think we need to reframe this question. and instead of looking at what the athletes need to perform as special, reas

he gave any instructions for the break-in of the watergate with the taping of the democratic national committeeand this young very ambitious aid in his 30s says it's nothing to do with him and he was acting without any authorization at all. he himself authorized the break-in but one of the men listens to this and he thinks why should i and the rest of us take responsibility for this when we know the people they gave the orders are getting off scott free while we are about to be sent to this horrible jail, the washington, d.c. jail, so he decides he's not going to put up with it and writes a letter to the judge and that's when the whole cover-up starts unraveling because he says perjury is being committed in the trial. the president's legal counsel realizes the white house is being blackmailed and could be implicated. he would be sent to prison and he isn't willing to be sent to prison for the crimes that he sees of other people so he turns on nixon or first of all he tries to get mcgruder to shoulder the responsibility so there's kind of this inciting as nixon puts it they are on each other and

in 2006, ken mehlman, then the chairman of the republican national committee, sent a letter to howardean, then the chairman of the democrat committee, and said, look, there are concerns on both sides about voter fraud in voter suppression. let's identify the locations, either of us have any concerns, and we will both send lawyers to watch it. that sounds like a real team effort, a good all-bipartisan approach. howard dean told them to pound sand. because they are more interested in the narrative and scaring people like your last caller -- and this has been going on for years. 2010, martha coakley, my colleague as attorney general, running for senate, the seat after senator kennedy passed away, put out a release making accusations about voting irregularities, and they made the mistake of dating at the day before the election, giving a way that they had just written up this accusation before there was any evidence. this goes on year after year. this narrative is a political stunt by the left to scare the base of the democratic party into believing the voter suppression narrative. but th

they decided against it to members of the republican national committee weighed in on the issue this week, suggesting an endorsement would divide the party and depress turnout. california gop chairwoman jessica milan peterson doesn't think the candidates need help from the party. to have so many fantastic candidates and let the voters decide. the california republican party is a little over 1400 numbers. there's 5.3 million republicans, um, that are out there. so having the candidates go and make the case to california voters while we work incredibly hard on question one and making sure that we recall this governor i put things puts us in a position of strength. ballots for the september 14th election will start hitting mailboxes later this month. voters will be asked two questions. the first asked whether governor newsom should be recalled the second asked voters to pick a replacement if he is recalled. if the majority of voters say yes to recall the replacement candidate with the most vote. wins we'll fire was sent to the truck where oakland homeless man lives hours after he shared
