If Trump can beat Biden in a 2024 face-off: "That glass of water as a Republican could beat Biden in 2024. I'm not sure Trump could. You know, you get against Gavin Newsom, it gets a little bit more, you know, challenging. I think it would be a tighter race. Certainly, Biden is the weakest Democrat candidate they could offer at this point, but Trump might be the only Republican who can lose. And that's not something I'm interested in. I don't like losing. Why Europe should do more for Ukraine: "This does not affect American interests as dramatically as it affects European interests. And I'm not sure why we should be more engaged and more committed to Ukraine than their immediate neighbors. The Poles get it. The Lithuanians get it. They do. I'm not sure the French and the Germans and the Spanish get it. Or if they do, they're not hinting that they do. I think the British actually get it more than anybody else. So, I just wish Europe would do more. The Biden administration's handling of Russia's war in Ukraine: "I actually think that the Biden administration has been walking a fine line but doing it relatively well. If I were in the White House right now advising the President of the United States, there's not a lot of good options. I mean, doing nothing is obviously not an option. Putting American troops on the ground in Ukraine is not an option. So, walking this fine line of providing significant military aid and economic sanctions is probably the best course of action. So, I will defend the Biden administration on that. I also think it sends a powerful message to China that if they ended up getting a little aggressive with Taiwan, that they know what's coming, which would be economic sanctions that could be crippling to their economy as well."
Former President Trump's White House chief of staff Mick Mulvaney believes Cassidy Hutchinson and other top Trump officials who have testified against former President Trump before the House select committee investigating the Capitol riot.
"She's a lifelong Republican," Mulvaney said of Hutchinson on "The Takeout." "She worked for Ted Cruz. She worked for Steve Scalise. She was in the White House for four years. There's no reason for her to lie."
Ashley White received her earliest combat action badge from the United States Army soon after the first lieutenant arrived in Afghanistan. The silver military award, recognizing soldiers who've been personally engaged by an attacker during conflict, was considered an achievement in and of itself as well as an affirming rite of passage for the newly deployed. White had earned it for using her own body to shield a group of civilian women and children from gunfire that broke out in the midst of her third mission in Kandahar province. All of them survived. She never mentioned the badge to anyone in her battalion.
