NewsNation anchor Chris Cuomo tore into President Joe Biden on Thursday‚ accusing the White House of sending a mixed message on Israel and warning him that no amount of political pressure even from within his own party was an excuse to be weak.Cuomo was responding to Bidens Thursday call with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu‚ during which he reportedly pressured the Israeli leader to move ahead with a ceasefire in Gaza despite the fact that the terrorist group Hamas which started the current war with an unprovoked attack on October 7th and is still holding Israeli and American hostages has thus far refused to make any concessions.During the call‚ the president also suggested that U.S. policy toward Israel moving forward would be reevaluated and determined based on Netanyahus response to Bidens demands.Cuomo was apparently not impressed‚ and he used his Thursday monologue to address Biden directly.WATCH:President Biden‚ you';re treating the war against Israel as if it were another political point of compromise. There is a primary reality: Hamas is a terror organization and they need to give the hostages back. pic.twitter.com/1V3MlGkqZc Christopher C. Cuomo (@ChrisCuomo) April 5‚ 2024I know that the war in the Middle East is a major concern for you in the election‚ and I think that explains why you misplayed it the way you did today. You gave a mixed message. You talked tough‚ what sounded like a threat to your main ally in the region‚ Cuomo said. And then you said youre giving them more weapons.Youre treating the war against Israel as if it were another political point of compromise. This is wrong. But this is wrong. And we need to do better here. And there has to be change and blah‚ blah‚ blah. Ceasefire. A lot of words‚ a lot of conditional language‚ a lot of half-speak‚ a lot of appeasement in a situation that is not about balance. It is about realities‚ he continued.CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILYWIRE+ APPCuomo went on to explain that he understood the likely political calculus that was going on behind the scenes‚ saying that he knew the presidential race was thus far shaping up to be a close one and that Biden stood to lose support from within his own party if he did not make some effort to appease the pro-Palestinian voters. But he argued that was no excuse for allowing the politics to drive policy when there were still American hostages in the hands of Hamas terrorists.I get how worried you are that youre not going to have the same base you had the last time. But that is not an excuse to be weak. Theres a primary reality‚ okay? We seem to have forgotten it‚ Cuomo added. Hamas is a terror organization. You designated them as that. They stole people. They need to give the people they stole back to us‚ to Israel‚ first. The hostages have become an afterthought and that is wrong. And the reason it has happened is even more wrong. The reason it has happened is because other political exigencies and agendas have overtaken their relevance.

The Wisconsin State Bar Association will amend its language for first-year law student clerk internship requirements after it was sued last year by a conservative group that said the bar was discriminating against students based on race and sexual identity.The state bar association reached a partial settlement on Thursday with the Wisconsin Institute for Law and Liberty‚ a conservative legal group‚ that had sued the bar in December over its internship programs and definition of diversity which included race as a factor.Defeating unconstitutional DEI programs has become WILLs area of expertise‚ and we are not stopping here‚ WILL Associate Counsel Skylar Croy said in a statement. While we are pleased with this victory‚ we know the fight is far from over. In fact‚ this is only the beginning of a movement‚ and our lawsuit will provide a roadmap for future victories in all 50 states.According to the settlement‚ the bar will make clear that its diversity clerkship program is open to all first-year law students at either Marquette University Law School or the University of Wisconsin Law School. The bar will also no longer include a requirement for that clerkship to go to students with backgrounds that have been historically excluded from the legal field who are in good standing.WILL sued the bar on behalf of attorney Daniel Suhr‚ who celebrated the settlement. Premier internship opportunities should be available to students based on merit not race‚ he said. I am proud to partner with WILL to set a strong precedent for the next generation of law students.Additionally‚ the bar will adopt a new definition of diversity saying: Diversity means including people with differing characteristics‚ beliefs‚ experiences‚ interests‚ and viewpoints. Diversity promotes an environment in which all individuals are treated with dignity and respect‚ regardless of their differences and without regard to stereotypes‚ and helps to ensure a better understanding and consideration of the needs and viewpoints of others with whom we interact.CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILYWIRE+ APPThe bars previous definition of diversity included race‚ ethnicity‚ and sexual identity among other factors.The settlement agreement adds that Defendants expressly deny all Allegations relating to the Diversity Clerkship Program in the Lawsuit.The settlement clarifies the definition of diversity but makes no changes to the program‚ said Larry J. Martin‚ the bar association executive director. The Diversity Clerkship Program‚ which has been creating opportunities for Wisconsin-based law students for three decades‚ will continue to exist and to operate in its current form.Despite the settlement‚ WILL is still challenging the dues collection process for the Wisconsin State Bar Association.

Billionaire Tesla owner Elon Musk accused Reuters of lying after the outlet reported on Friday that Tesla scrapped its plans to make low-cost electric vehicles and will focus on developing robo-taxis.Reuters‚ which cited multiple anonymous sources and company messages‚ wrote that Tesla was abandoning its promise to begin producing cheaper EVs as soon as 2025. After the report was published‚ Teslas stock dropped by as much as 6.2% before it began to make a small climb back toward where it opened on Friday just shy of $170 per share.Reuters is lying (again)‚ Musk said in reply to a post on his social media platform X.Reuters is lying (again) Elon Musk (@elonmusk) April 5‚ 2024Later‚ Musk reposted a chart showing the decrease in Reuters monthly and yearly website traffic.Reuters is dying‚ the Tesla owner wrote.Since as far back as 2018‚ billionaire Tesla owner Elon Musk has said the company would move into making a $25‚000 car‚ which has been called the Model 2. In January‚ the billionaire entrepreneur added that his company was very far along in making an affordable car‚ Bloomberg reported. Currently‚ Teslas cheapest vehicle‚ the Model 3‚ retails for nearly $40‚000 in the U.S. while other EVs in its lineup can cost up to $150‚000.Reuters wrote that Two sources said they learned of Teslas decision to scrap the Model 2 in a meeting attended by scores of employees‚ with one of them saying the gathering happened in late February.Elons directive is to go all in on robotaxi‚ one person said‚ according to the outlet.CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILYWIRE+ APPOther car companies‚ such as Ford and GM‚ have recently scaled back or delayed their plans to produce more EVs as consumer demand has failed to meet expectations while the Biden administration continues to push Americans to move away from gas-powered cars.After the Reuters report‚ Musk also responded with the eyes emoji often used to draw attention to something under a post that laid out a potential explanation for the story.Elon just said Reuters was lying. However‚ here is my general thinking. Teslas low-cost $25k car and the Robotaxi were always going to be based on the same platform. They were going to be very similar‚ but the $25k version was going to have a steering wheel‚ wrote Sawyer Merritt‚ a co-founder of an apparel company.Maybe Elon and the team have been so impressed with how good FSD 12 has performed and were maybe thinking they should be shifting even more resources to the Robotaxi/FSD effort‚ Merritt added. This doesnt mean the $25k car is canceled. Again‚ they share the same platform. Elon Musk (@elonmusk) April 5‚ 2024
