Former White House Chief of Staff Ron Klain wishes President Joe Biden would stop talking about bridges and focus more of his attention on economic issues.Bidens former top man told POLITICO that while there was certainly nothing wrong with Biden talking about infrastructure‚ even the greatest accomplishments might not move the needle if the American people were worried about day-to-day issues like the cost of gas‚ groceries‚ and rent.I think the president is out there too much talking about bridges‚ Klain lamented. He does two or three events a week where hes cutting a ribbon on a bridge. And heres a bridge. Like I tell you‚ if you go into the grocery store‚ you go to the grocery store and‚ you know‚ eggs and milk are expensive‚ the fact that theres a f**king bridge is not Klain went on to argue that a focus on local infrastructure projects might be more effective for a candidate running for Congress who was trying to show how effective he had been in bringing federal funding home to his district but did not have the same impact to someone running for another term in the White House.Hes not a congressman. Hes not running for Congress. I think its kind of a fools errand. I think that [it] also doesnt get covered that much because‚ look‚ its a f**king bridge. Like its a bridge‚ and how interesting is the bridge? Its a little interesting but its not a lot interesting‚ he added.Klains advice was for Biden to stick to the economy but not the current economy so much as the one he planned to foster in a second term.The presidents most effective economic message is contrast around whose side are you on‚ and compassion for the [pinch] of family budgets‚ and his agenda to bring down costs and raise incomes and that lauding achievements especially ones with abstract benefits is less persuasive with voters‚ Klain explained.CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILYWIRE+ APPBiden may yet face an uphill battle even if he takes Klains advice‚ as recent polling suggests more Americans believe the economy was better prior to Biden taking office in 2021.Even an informal poll done during a live MSNBC segment resulted in everyone surveyed saying that the economy was better under former President Donald Trump.WATCH:Raise your hand if you think President Trump';s policies on the economy would be better for your family pic.twitter.com/5WqShG0mlZ Trump War Room (@TrumpWarRoom) April 10‚ 2024

Rep. James Clyburn (D-SC) joined MSNBC on Wednesday to tout President Joe Bidens record on the economy specifically pointing to inflation and saying that it was down and claimed that disinformation was the reason so many Americans werent seeing that progress.Clyburn was still at it when Morning Joe host Mika Brzezinski who agreed with Clyburn that disinformation was certainly a problem broke in to point out the fact that inflation had risen more than expected in the last month.WATCH:Oops.

Jim Clyburn claims on MSNBC that the Biden administration has inflation under control seconds before news breaks that prices rose more than expected last month. pic.twitter.com/Mz8K1XxlsL TV News Now (@TVNewsNow) April 11‚ 2024And so the inflation rates are down‚ Clyburn began. And peoples incomes are up. Unemployment is on the decrease. And although we see the prices at the stores costing more money‚ people are in fact earning greater incomes.So what weve got to do is make sure that people see the policies of Biden administration‚ how they affect their everyday lives and get them to see in his policies that which is real‚ not what they may hear on social media‚ Clyburn continued‚ arguing that disinformation on social media platforms was one of the main reasons people didnt believe the Biden economy was working in their favor.Brzezinski echoed Clyburns concerns about the impact of disinformation‚ but then shared a headline showing the most recent Consumer Price Index data which revealed a greater-than-expected increase in the inflation rate for the month of March: 3.5%‚ the highest increase in 6 months.Theres also a lack of validation that these voters feel‚ Brzezinski said. And Im going to bring in Andrew Ross Sorkin right now because we just got breaking news the Consumer Price Index increased at a faster-than-expected pace last month‚ a signal that inflation remains stubbornly high.CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILYWIRE+ APPDespite efforts made by the Biden administration and surrogates to suggest otherwise‚ the American people also remain largely unconvinced that Bidenomics is working for them.

The National Science Foundation (NSF)‚ the government agency tasked with promoting scientific progress‚ will allocate over a million taxpayer dollars to diversity‚ equity‚ and inclusion efforts to study Latina resistance and intraminority solidarity.The NSF‚ which controls $9.9 billion of federal money and exists to promote the progress of science‚ advance the national health‚ and secure the national defense‚ pledged $498‚271 to a three-year study at Loyola University Maryland focused on Latinas resistance behaviors in engineering programs at predominantly white institutions as part of its broader diversity‚ equity‚ and inclusion (DEI) agenda.It granted another $618‚465 to support a study at the University of Washington centered around promoting intraminority solidarity‚ particularly looking into how different framings of racism influence Asian Americans intraminority solidarity with Black Americans.An agency spokesman defended the studies to The Daily Wire‚ saying the projects are both worthy of support.Each proposal submitted to the U.S. National Science Foundation is reviewed by science and engineering experts well-versed in their discipline or field of expertise‚ the spokesman said. All proposals submitted to NSF are reviewed according to two merit review criteria: Intellectual Merit and Broader Impacts. These awards reflect NSFs statutory mission and have been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundations intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.The stated goal of the Latina resistance study is centered around oppressive structures in society.The disparities in [Latinas] engineering access and attainment are the result of historically oppressive racist and sexist structures embedded in STEM space that perpetuate sexism and racism‚ the description of the federally-funded study claims. Guided by a combination of LatCrit theory of resistance‚ intersectionality‚ and cultural wealth model (CWM)‚ the goal of this project is to investigate how Latinas choose to engage in various resistance behaviors.This project aims to investigate how Latinas choose to engage in various resistance behaviors in different engineering cultures and campus climates and how these different cultures and campus climates influence their resistance‚ the description goes on to add. The funding will specifically be granted to Qi Shi‚ the Director of the universitys Center for Equity‚ Leadership‚ and Social Justice in Education. Shi did not respond to a request for comment.The other study‚ on intraminority solidarity‚ is aimed at analyzing allyship between minority groups.It explores whether framing racism against Black Americans as the result of anti-Blackness increases Asian Americans sense of solidarity with Black Americans‚ compared to framing racism as the result of White supremacy‚ a description of the project explains. Understanding how different framings for intergroup conflict affect allyship from members of other minority groups is important for building a more comprehensive understanding of intergroup relations.The grant went to Sapna Cheryan‚ a professor at the University of Washingtons Department of Psychology. Cheryan did not respond to a request for comment.The two studies are just a small sampling of the DEI efforts thatve been funded by the federal government. The Biden administrations Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) is set to spend nearly $800‚000 to study the effect of structural racism on kidney health‚ utilizing critical health praxis to apply an anti-racism lens to the field of health. The HHS has also funded an inclusive teen pregnancy program for transgender boys to the tune of nearly $700‚000 taxpayer dollars. The program intends to reduce internalized transphobia and affirm the gender identity of children as young as 14 years old.Millions of taxpayer dollars have been allocated to highly ideological DEI efforts as the Biden administration has worked to embed leftwing ideology throughout the government through executive orders.Former President Donald Trump has pledged that he will gut the federal bureaucracy through executive orders of his own which aim to remove civil service protections from bureaucrats who occupy a position that impacts policymaking. We will pass critical reforms making every executive branch employee fireable by the President of the United States‚ Trump said at a rally‚ touting the plan. The deep state must be brought to heel.Biden hopes to preempt this move and recently implemented a policy intended to strengthen the civil service protections enjoyed by federal bureaucrats. Trump and his allies are still preparing to gut the bureaucracy‚ however‚ with the Heritage Foundations Project 2025 assembling a personnel database to take the place of outgoing bureaucrats.

Anti-Israel students at Yale University are threatening to go on a hunger strike if the school does not commit to divest from weapons manufacturers contributing to Israels assault on Palestine by Friday morning‚ they warned in a letter to the universitys president.If these demands are not met by the morning of 4/12/2024‚ we will go on a hunger strike‚ the students wrote to President Peter Salovey. We will risk our bodily health and wellbeing in ways that mirror only a fraction of the absolute devastation that Palestinians are suffering right now‚ until you do. Yales complicity in genocide must end.In the wake of Israels war against Hamas for brutally massacring more than 1‚000 people on October 7‚ the letter calls the United States the empire that is funding the military conquest and colonization of Palestine and accused the universitys investments of profiting from this mass ethnic cleansing.Our existence in this University and this country are ones defined by necropolitics‚ the students continued. Our lives here exist as they do because of the investment in the deaths of Palestinians by Yale and the US government.The students claimed they exhausted every mode possible of making their voices heard without the university making the changes they requested. The students cite various conferences‚ talks‚ meetings‚ and protests that they say failed to elicit a response from the administrators.You flaunt free speech as a protected right on this campus but treat our free speech as if it holds no real weight‚ the letter reads. Our free speech demands a response from you.In a now-deleted post on the Instagram account created for the strike‚ the students solicited donations for life-giving aid and medical support to help strike participants.Yale students planning a hunger strike solicited donations in a now-deleted post.The letter also accuses Yale of going against its commitment to make investment decisions that incorporate the full costs of climate change.The first 60 days of Israeli bombardment has released more GHG emissions than the annual carbon emissions of twenty individual countries and the carbon cost of rebuilding Palestine will exceed the annual emissions of over 130 individual countries combined‚ the letter reads.Citing Yale adopting a policy in 2018 of not investing in assault weapons‚ the students called on Yale to divest from all weapons manufacturing and military suppliers.Just like domestic shootings‚ the Israeli military causes the Israeli military causes incontrovertible societal harm and grave social injury as they decimate the educational infrastructure of Palestine.The students go on to demand that the president discuss plans for divesting in an upcoming Yale Corporation board meeting.The letter was signed by a group of 12 graduate and undergraduate students‚ according to Yale Daily News.The Instagram post was in collaboration with Yale Law Students for Justice in Palestine‚ Yalies for Palestine‚ and Yale Graduate Students for Palestine.The university is reviewing its investment policies‚ according to Yale Daily News which cited a February 2024 statement from the university confirming there is a review to extend the 2018 assault weapons policy to cover manufacturers who effectively retail to the general public.Yale University did not respond to a request for comment.

And under Mao‚ 40 million people were starving to death after he sold the communism to them. And 20 million people died‚ murdered‚ during his cultural revolution.So my question to you‚ David‚ is that can you guarantee me‚ a gun owner‚ tonight‚ our government in the U.S.‚ in D.C.‚ will never‚ never become a tyrannical government? she asked. Can you guarantee that to me?Theres no way I can ever guarantee that any government will not be tyrannical‚ Hogg admitted.Well‚ then the debate on gun control is over because I will never give up my guns‚ she responded. Never. Never. And you should go to China to see how gun control works for dictatorship of the CCP.CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILYWIRE+ APPWATCH:WATCH: Gun control advocate David Hogg schooled by Chinese immigrant I will never give up my guns.

Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL)‚ Vice Chairman of the Select Committee on Intelligence‚ warned on Thursday that the situation in the Middle East could soon become the most dangerous its been in more than 50 years as tensions between Israel and Iran have reached a fever pitch.Rubios comments come as Iran has threatened to launch an attack against Israel after an Israeli airstrike killed Mohammed Reza Zahedi‚ the top commander of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corpss Quds Force in Lebanon and Syria‚ last week as he met with other Iranian commanders and leaders from the Palestinian Islamic Jihad terrorist group.Zahedi allegedly played a strategic role in forming and strengthening the resistance front as well as in planning and executing Hamas October 7 terrorist attack against Israel‚ according to a staunchly pro-IRGC political group.Iran wants to launch a large scale attack from their own territory against Israel‚ Rubio posted on X. Israel will respond instantly with an even more severe counterattack inside of Iran.What happens next is the most dangerous Middle East moment since 1973‚ the senator added.In 1973‚ Egypt and Syria launched a simultaneous coordinated surprise attack on Israel during Yom Kippur‚ the holiest day of the year in Judaism.CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILYWIRE+ APPU.S. officials have said that Iran‚ the worlds leading state sponsor of terrorism‚ was planning a significant attack against Israel.Israeli media reported on Thursday that Iran was ready to strike but appeared to have delayed or changed its plans in response to threats from the U.S.British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak echoed the U.S.s support for Israel on Thursday‚ saying: The threats from Iran are completely unacceptable and we‚ like the Americans‚ fully support Israels right to defend itself against that.We have already highlighted Iran as a significant risk to regional security and we have always said that we will support Israels ability to defend itself and we are taking action ourselves to make sure we can protect the UK against threats from Iran‚ he added.

A group of 16 Republican attorneys general told Attorney General Merrick Garland on Wednesday that he was sowing distrust in the American electoral system with his comments criticizing state election integrity laws.Led by Indiana AG Todd Rokita and West Virginia AG Patrick Morrisey‚ the Republican officials sent a letter to Garland over comments he made in Alabama discussing the Justice Departments efforts to challenge Red state laws related to voter identification requirements and safeguards on vote-by-mail initiatives.The Biden administration is weaponizing the U.S. Department of Justice against the states‚ Rokita said in a statement. These actions pose a direct threat to democracy‚ election integrity and the rule of law. We will stand up and defend our rightful authority within the framework of American federalism.The letter was referring to a speech Garland gave at the Tabernacle Baptist Church in Selma on March 3. At the church‚ Garland said the DOJ was challenging efforts by states and jurisdictions to implement discriminatory‚ burdensome‚ and unnecessary restrictions on access to the ballot‚ including those related to mail-in-voting‚ the use of drop boxes‚ and voter ID requirements.According to the Republicans‚ these comments threatened the principles of federalism and the separation of powers‚ as well as the rule of law. Joining Indiana and West Virginia were the attorneys general of Alaska‚ Georgia‚ Idaho‚ Iowa‚ Kansas‚ Kentucky‚ Louisiana‚ Missouri‚ Montana‚ Nebraska‚ New Hampshire‚ South Carolina‚ Texas‚ and Utah.CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILYWIRE+ APPBy using the DOJ against the states‚ you continue to sow the seeds of distrust among the American electorate‚ the officials said. The DOJ has no authority to dictate to the states in matters that concern their sovereign right to ensure safe‚ secure‚ and free elections. Although we do not know exactly the strategy the DOJ intends to take with its numerous election attorneys‚ we intend to vigorously defend our election laws. We will not allow intimidation and fear mongering to supersede the will of the people.The Republicans argued that the DOJs criticism of voter ID laws didnt make sense because people were required to provide IDs for voting‚ driving a car‚ purchasing alcohol‚ or boarding an airplane.The letter also pointed to a bipartisan report that came out in 2005 that found that absentee voting could open up the door for fraud‚ saying that Garlands criticism of state laws tightening up scrutiny of mail-in-voting was unfounded. As the DOJ plans to challenge state election laws ahead of the 2024 election‚ the RNC has filed several suits to make Democratic secretaries of state in Michigan and Nevada clean up their voter rolls and enforce voter ID laws.

The following is a transcribed excerpt from one of Dr. Jordan Petersons 2020 lectures. In this segment‚ he discusses moving forward‚ preparing for the future‚ identifying where you are‚ mapping the territory of your past‚ and bringing positivity into your life. You can listen to or watch more from Dr. Peterson on DailyWire+.Start time: 00:00There are deep reasons for how and why you perceive things as you do in the world. Perception is tightly related and associated to action‚ to movement forward‚ and to emotion and those things are very important to know. For example‚ you live in a map or a story‚ and because wherever you are is not as good as it could be‚ you go somewhere that is somewhat better. That can occur in different timeframes. Maybe you have a plan for the next minute: You are hungry‚ and you want to go somewhere to eat. Maybe it could be for the next hour or the next day or the next week or the next year. But‚ basically‚ what you are trying to do is take where you are (point A) and make it better (point B). So you are always somewhere that is not quite as good as it should be‚ and you are always going somewhere that is somewhat better at least‚ that is the hope.This is somewhat unfortunate in some sense because it means you cannot be satisfied with where you are. But how can you be satisfied when you have problems coming your way? Even if everything is ok right now which it probably is not‚ but even if it was that does not mean everything is going to be ok tomorrow‚ next week‚ next year‚ or five years from now. You have the future‚ your future self‚ and your family to take care of. Maybe you have your community to take care of. Because the way things are is not good enough‚ you are going to fix them a bit‚ which you do across different levels of resolution.First‚ you identify where you are. If you are mixed up‚ one of the problems you might have is that you do not know where you are. Often‚ people have to go to therapy or talk to someone for a long time to find out where they are because their experience might have scattered them everywhere‚ and they feel they have come apart at the seams that things have fallen apart‚ that they are in chaos‚ that they do not know where they are. If this happens to you‚ then you are in trouble because how are you going to plot a course forward into the future if you do not know where you are?WATCH: The Jordan B. Peterson Podcast on DailyWire+You have to bring yourself up-to-date‚ which you can know because it is fairly straightforward: If you are obsessed with memories of the past (more than 18 months old) and most of those are negative and anxiety-provoking‚ then there is a lot of you that is stuck in the past. What that means is that you did not map the territory well enough‚ and the parts of your brain that are alarm systems anxiety systems are telling you that there are holes in the way you are looking at the world. They are saying that you fell in those holes once‚ you do not know where they are‚ you do not know how to fill them‚ you do not know how to walk around them and you cannot forget them. If you have memories like that‚ you remember them‚ they make you feel anxious and negative‚ and you are stuck in the past. Your body is still reacting as if there is an emergency that could happen again that you have not fixed. It does not matter if it was your fault because the alarm system does not care. When your smoke detector goes off‚ it is not relevant whether the cause was your fault. The smoke detector just says‚ House is on fire and that is a bad thing.Your anxiety systems are similar. If they are tagging old systems with anxiety‚ then you have to do something about it‚ or you will be tortured by those memories forever because that is how the alarm system works. So maybe you need to go back there and clean things up. You must figure out how it happened. Ask‚ what sort of role did I play? Even if it was a minor role‚ that does not matter because the point is that you do not want to be put in the same vulnerable position again so anything you can do to strengthen yourself is good. Often‚ if it is a really old memory‚ if you were a child‚ you probably have a variety of techniques at hand that you could use to deal with a situation like that because you are not a child now. But you have to update that part of your brain that still thinks you are four-years-old. Lots of people still have parts of them that are still stuck in a traumatic childhood experience. Thus‚ you need to know where you are.When you decide to move from one point to another‚ going somewhere slightly better‚ that is good. Your positive emotion systems run on a neurochemical called dopamine the same neurochemical system that drugs like cocaine‚ methamphetamine‚ opiates‚ and alcohol‚ for some people‚ affect dramatically and make people feel far better than they should‚ which is part of their danger. It is a very fundamental system. The dopamine kicks in with a kick of positive emotion if you are going somewhere that is worth going. So how do you get a little bit of positivity in your life? This standalone neurochemical system that is rooted very deeply in the brains exploratory circuitry a very ancient system is happy when you have somewhere to go. Then it is happy when you are going there.To continue‚ listen or watch more content with Dr. Jordan Peterson on DailyWire+.Dr. Jordan B.

Federal law enforcement officials are concerned that terrorists could launch a coordinated attack in the U.S. that is similar to the ISIS-K terrorist attack that was carried out in Russia last month.Reuters reported that FBI Director Christopher Wray was set to relay this warning to the House of Representatives during a hearing on Thursday.Looking back over my career in law enforcement‚ Id be hard-pressed to think of a time where so many threats to our public safety and national security were so elevated all at once‚ Christopher Wray says in prepared remarks. But that is the case as I sit here today.Several ISIS-K terrorists stormed a concert hall in Moscow late last month and opened fire with automatic while simultaneously setting the sold out venue on fire‚ killing more than 140 people.Wray will say that an increasing threat in the U.S.is the potential for a coordinated attack here in the homeland‚ akin to the ISIS-K attack we saw at the Russia Concert Hall a couple weeks ago.He is expected to push House lawmakers to renew Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA)‚ which is a critical U.S. surveillance program that is used to monitor foreign threats to the U.S.The program‚ which is set to expire next month unless it is renewed‚ has faced scrutiny in recent years after it was abused by some federal law enforcement officials.CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILYWIRE+ APPHowever‚ officials have tightened up the way that the system can be accessed to cut down on instances of abuse‚ including forcing agents to type a specific justification for every search‚ receive annual training and get approval from an attorney before any batch job that will run more than 100 names against the system‚ The Washington Posts Editorial Board wrote this week.The Justice Department says these changes led to a 98 percent drop in the number of U.S. person queries of the 702 database‚ from 2.9 million in 2021 to 119‚383 in 2022 and 57‚094 in 2023‚ the article added. Audits have shown virtually all of them complied with the rules. The FBI has also established escalating consequences for misusing the system‚ from taking away access to criminal referrals.

Ex-FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe said on Thursday the bureau made many mistakes in seeking Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) authority to snoop on Carter Page‚ an aide to former President Donald Trumps 2016 campaign.The comments were made during a CNN interview in which McCabe defended FISAs Section 702 which empowers the U.S. intelligence community to collect data on non-U.S. citizens abroad as Congress debates whether to reauthorize it.McCabe‚ now a CNN law enforcement analyst‚ responded to Trumps call to KILL FISA while saying it was used to spy on his campaign‚ after which the House blocked consideration of a reauthorization bill just days before Section 702 sunsets.Disgraced former FBI agent Andy McCabe: ";[FISA] 702 authorities were never used in the in the course of that investigation of Donald Trump &;amp; his campaign &;amp; some of his campaign associates. He he may be referring to the FISA that was used that was obtained to surveil Carter pic.twitter.com/qI2t6hgrzG Tom Elliott (@tomselliott) April 11‚ 2024To be clear‚ no‚ there is no truth or accuracy in that post at all‚ McCabe said‚ adding that 702 authorities were never used in the course of that investigation of Donald Trump and his campaign and some of his campaign associates.Trump may be referring to the FISA that was obtained to surveil Carter Page. We now know there are many mistakes in that FISA. Those are all regrettable. But that is not Section 702. Totally different thing here‚ McCabe said.My guess is that its not surprising that Donald Trump is against surveillance capacity and authority for the FBI because he is someone whos been investigated by the FBI. But‚ nevertheless‚ he is absolutely wrong on this count‚ he added.CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILYWIRE+ APPMcCabe signed an application seeking FISA authority to spy on Page‚ part of a chain of approval that came under fire over its partial reliance on an unverified dossier‚ and testified to Congress he would not have done so knowing what he learned later.The Trump Department of Justice fired McCabe from the FBI in 2018 hours before he was set to retire with a pension after an inspector general report faulting him for a lack of candor regarding disclosures to the media.McCabe sued over his firing in 2019‚ claiming his dismissal was politically motivated and retaliatory following his leadership in the Trump-Russia investigation‚ and won back his pension and other benefits in a 2021 settlement.Some lawmakers who opposed advancing the FISA bill this week have demanded a warrant requirement for officials seeking to access data concerning U.S. citizens ostensibly for law enforcement that gets swept up in monitoring foreign persons.FBI Director Christopher Wray is among those pushing to preserve FISAs Section 702 authorities‚ telling Congress on Thursday they are critical to protecting Americans and claiming that adding a warrant requirement would be dangerous.House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) argued the FISA bill‚ as it stands‚ would not only reauthorize Section 702 for five years‚ but also implement reforms that would actually kill the abuses directed at Trumps 2016 campaign.After the vote on Wednesday‚ in which 19 Republicans joined with all voting Democrats to oppose consideration of the FISA bill‚ Johnson said lawmakers will regroup and insisted the United States cant allow a critical tool like this to just expire.
