www.zerohedge.com/health/elizabeth-warren-unveils-52-trillion-medicare-all-planSenator Elizabeth Warren unveiled more details of her "Medicare for All" plan she swears won't cost the middle class "one penny," while raising federal spending by $20.5 trillion. Paying for the increases would be a wave of taxes on large corporations, the wealthy, cracking down on tax evasion, an $800 billion reduction in defense spending, and putting newly legalized immigrants on the tax rolls. Warren has come under pressure from her Democratic rivals to release the details of her ambitious plans - and in particular, how she plans to pay for them. As the New York Times notes, "Her new proposal marks a turning point for her campaign, in which she will have to sell voters on a tax-and-spending plan that rivals the ambitions of the New Deal and the Great Society while also defending it against both Democratic and Republican criticism." At a cost of "just under $52 trillion" (about what the current system will cost over 10 years), Warren's plan calls for the elimination of employer-sponsored health insurance, which over 50% of Americans now receive. It would be replaced by free government health coverage for all Americans. To pay for the $20.5 trillion, Warren would require employers pay trillions of dollars to the government. For those who currently pay for employee coverage, this would replace much of that spending. Businesses who don't currently cover healthcare costs would be exempt. Warren would also tax financial transactions such as stock trades, as well as boost taxes for investment gains for the top 1% of households. Her signature wealth tax proposal would also take a larger chunk from billionaires. Lastly, Warren wants to cut $800 billion in military spending. Ms. Warren’s estimate for the cost of Medicare for all relies on an aggressive set of assumptions about how to lower national health care costs while providing comprehensive coverage to all Americans. Like Senator Bernie Sanders of Vermont, she would essentially eliminate medical costs for individuals, including premiums, deductibles and other out-of-pocket expenses. Critically, her new plan would not raise taxes on middle-class Americans, a question she has been asked over and over but has not answered directly until now. When confronted on the campaign trail and debate stage, she emphasized instead that her plan would result in higher overall costs for wealthy people and big corporations but lower costs for middle-class families. -NYT Democratic 2020 rivals such as Joe Biden and Bete Buttigieg have repeatedly criticized Warren for her failure to detail the specifics of her plan - with Buttigieg calling her "extremely evasive." "A key step in winning the public debate over Medicare for all will be explaining what this plan costs — and how to pay for it," Warren writes in her plan. "We don’t need to raise taxes on the middle class by one penny." After the Trump administration and Republicans unsuccessfully attempted to repeal the Affordable Care Act, Warren and other Democrats have taken up healthcare as a central issue to compete for their party's presidential nomination. The Times suggests that responding to her rivals in such detail has opened her up to attack from the right. Although she is not proposing broad tax increases on individuals, her proposal will still allow Republicans to portray her as a tax-and-spend liberal who wants to dramatically expand the role of the federal government while abolishing private health insurance. Her plan’s $20.5 trillion price tag is equal to roughly one-third of what the federal government is currently projected to spend over the next decade in total. -NYT Warren has aligned herself with Sen. Bernie Sanders, one of her top rivals who has long championed single-payer healthcare. Not only did she co-sponsor his Medicare for All legislation in the Senate, she declared "I'm with Bernie" regarding healthcare during her first primary debate in June. According to the report, Warren's financing plan is based on cost estimates that are on the low side. Her estimate that the plan will cost $20.5 trillion over 10 years is based on a recent cost model by the Urban Institute, except she inserts her own assumptions which reduce their estimate of $34 trillion over the same period. Warren's plan would create a new "employer Medicare contribution" which would total $8.8 trillion over a decade. Moreover, states would pay the federal government much of what they already spend to insure state workers and low-income residents covered by Medicaid. $3 trillion of the plan would be raised via two proposals to tax the richest Americans. Previously, Warren floated a 3% annual tax on net worth over $1 billion. She is now raising that to 6%. The second proposal would alter how gains are taxed for the top 1% of households. In addition to imposing a tax on financial transactions, she would also make changes to corporate taxation. She is counting on stronger tax enforcement to bring in $2.3 trillion in taxes that would otherwise go uncollected. And she is banking on passing an overhaul of immigration laws — which itself would be a huge political feat — and gaining revenue from taxes paid by newly legal residents. -NYT On the medical side, Warren's plan would put 'substantial downward pressure on payments to hospitals, doctors and pharmaceutical companies,' according to the Times. Instead, Warren assumes that aggressive negotiations could lower spending on generic medications by 30% vs. current levels, and that spending on prescription drugs could plummet by 70%. Payments to hospitals would be around 10% higher than what Medicare currently pays - which would lead to big cuts for some hospitals, while helping others. Doctors would be paid less under Warren's plan vs. what Medicare currently pays.

www.breitbart.com/politics/2019/11/01/elizabeth-warren-amnesty-illegal-aliens-will-pay-medicare-all/Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) said her agenda to provide amnesty to all 11 to 22 million illegal aliens living in the United States and driving up legal immigration levels will help pay for her “Medicare for All” plan.On Friday, Warren released her plan to end all private health insurance — stripping millions of American union workers of their negotiated healthcare plans — and enact a Medicare for All program, which would force taxpayers onto public healthcare plans. The $52 trillion plan will be partially paid for, Warren says, by driving up the population to the highest levels possible to increase federal tax revenue. Warren’s plan would hinge on providing amnesty for all illegal aliens and increasing legal immigration levels, which already sit at historic highs with more than 1.5 million foreign nationals added to the U.S. population every year. “I support immigration reform that’s consistent with our values, including a pathway to citizenship for undocumented immigrants and expanded legal immigration consistent with my principles,” Warren wrote. “That’s not only the right thing to do – it also increases federal revenue we can dedicate to Medicare for All as new people come into the system and pay taxes.” Warren’s donor class immigration plan, as Breitbart News has reported, is supported by tech billionaires, the open borders lobby, the outsourcing industry, the Chamber of Commerce, as well as the nation’s giant multinational corporations that have sought for decades to drive down U.S. wages by importing cheaper foreign workers to compete against America’s working and middle class. Already, at current legal immigration levels, the U.S. is set to increase its population to 404 million residents by 2060 — the largest population in American history. This indicates that by 2060, about one-in-six U.S. residents will have been born in a foreign country. In 1970, one-in-twenty U.S. residents were foreign-born. At current legal immigration levels, nearly 580,000 foreign-born residents will be added to the population every year, while just 1.3 million native-born residents are set to be added every year. A moratorium on immigration would stabilize the nation’s population at about 250 million residents.

www.breitbart.com/2020-election/2019/11/01/beto-orourke-quits-2020-race/Former Rep. Robert Francis “Beto” O’Rourke (D-TX) announced Friday evening that he is dropping out of the 2020 presidential race. “Though it is difficult to accept, it is clear to me now that this campaign does not have the means to move forward successfully. My service to the country will not be as a candidate or as the nominee,” O’Rourke said in a statement posted to Medium. “Acknowledging this now is in the best interests of those in the campaign; it is in the best interests of this party as we seek to unify around a nominee; and it is in the best interests of the country.” “Let us continue to fearlessly champion the issues and causes that brought us together. Whether it is ending the epidemic of gun violence or dismantling structural racism or successfully confronting climate change before it is too late, we will continue to organize and mobilize and act in the best interests of America,” the Texas Democrat added. “I’m confident I will see you down the road, and I look forward to that day.” The New York Times, citing an unnamed source close to O’Rourke, reported that the former White House contender arrived at his decision to exit the crowded race during the middle of the week and is unlikely to run for the U.S. Senate in Texas. President Donald Trump mocked O’Rourke’s announcement by quoting the Texas Democrat’s now-infamous Vanity Fair interview in which he said that he was “born to be in it,” a reference to this cycle’s presidential race. O’Rourke was encouraged to run for the White House following his failed Senate challenge to incumbent Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) last year. O’Rourke, who raised $80 million for his Senate campaign, the largest amount ever by a Senate candidate, lost to Cruz by three percentage points. But O’Rourke struggled to replicate that model in the presidential primary and both his polling and his fundraising dwindled significantly in recent months. He qualified for all four debates held prior to his departure, but had yet to secure a spot in the November 20 debate because he hadn’t reached 3 percent or more in four polls or 5 percent or more in two polls. In recent weeks, O’Rourke’s campaign was beset by lagging fundraising, reporting $4.5 million in the third quarter. It was an improvement over the previous quarter, and enough to qualify for the fifth debate, but the total put him behind a majority of his rivals, two of whom raised about $25 million in the same time period. “We have a path to the nomination — and through that, a path to the presidency — but at this moment we’ve got to break through,” O’Rourke told his El Paso, Texas, staff after releasing the figures. “So I need everyone’s help, doing everything that they can … to make sure that you make this commitment now. There is no later moment to do it. It must happen now if we’re going to make the most of this moment, of the momentum that we have, of this wonderful trajectory that we’re on.” O’Rourke served three terms in the House representing Texas’ 16th Congressional District. He said he plans to support whichever Democratic candidate receives the nomination. “We must support them in the race against Donald Trump and support them in their administration afterwards, do all that we can to help them heal a wounded country and bring us together in meeting the greatest set of challenges we have ever known,” he said.

President Trump: We’re here and we’re draining the swamp in Washington. Nothing terrifies Democrats more than the fact than all of their spying, spying! They actually spied on my campaign. Can you believe it? OK, now they were saying, ‘Well we were actually just checking things out.’ The lying, the falsifying the last three years. Plus, before I even announced they were spying. I guess they knew we were going to win, right? But for more than the past more than three years is finally being exposed.

amp.dailycaller.com/2019/11/01/elizabeth-warren-medicare-for-all-insurance-workersElizabeth Warren: Those Who Lose Their Jobs In Private Insurance ‘Will Work In Other Parts Of Insurance’ Democratic presidential candidate Elizabeth Warren consoled those who could lose their jobs if her plan to eliminate private health insurance with the prospect of work “in other parts of insurance.” The Massachusetts senator was speaking on the campaign trail Friday in Des Moines, Iowa. Her answer to a reporter who asked what would happen to “those who work in private health insurance” when her healthcare plan all but eliminates their occupation was posted by The Hill’s on its Twitter feed: “So, if you’ve had a chance to read the plan you’ll see, no one gets left behind,” Warren said. “Some of the people currently working in health insurance will work in other parts of insurance. In life insurance, in auto insurance, in car insurance. Some will work for Medicaid, and there is a five year transition support for everyone. Because what this is about is how we strengthen America’s middle class and how we make sure that in transitions no one gets left behind. It’s right there in the plan, and it’s fully paid for.” Warren released her much anticipated “Medicare for All” plan Friday, promising to keep costs at $20.5 trillion and pay for it with taxes on corporations and the top 1 percent of income earners as well as “a shift in employer health spending,” USA Today reported. The Democratic presidential candidate said her plan would keep combined health care spending “under $52 trillion” over the next ten years.

Enrique Tarrio, the Chairman of the Proud Boys, has announced that he will be running for congress in Florida’s 27th congressional district in 2020. Tarrio, an Afro-Cuban longtime resident of Miami, called Democrat Donna Shalala a “Hillary Clinton puppet.” Mr. Tarrio’s family fled Fidel Castro’s brutal dictatorship in Communist Cuba decades ago. tarrio2020.com/Our founders were simple men who wanted a world away from tyranny and away from government interference into our lives. A place to raise their children, watch their families grow and build their businesses. A place to worship freely and speak freely.
Unfortunately, career politicians like Donna Shalala have become obsessed with moving America away from these founding principles and towards a Communist police state that thrives on robbing us our God given freedoms. Shalala is more concerned about being Hillary Clinton’s puppet than serving the needs of District 27.

www.breitbart.com/politics/2019/11/01/pete-buttigieg-we-will-not-recognize-america-if-donald-trump-is-re-elected-in-2020/Mayor Pete Buttigieg said Friday that Democrats would not recognize America if President Donald Trump was re-elected in 2020. “This country cannot afford four more years of Donald Trump,” he said. “We will not recognize it if he gets reelected.” Buttigieg spoke to Iowa Democrats at the Liberty and Justice Celebration dinner, a prominent event in the Democrat presidential nomination process. He tried to seize the mantle of former President Barack Obama, hinting that they were both candidates with a “funny name.” “The first time I came to this state was as a volunteer, to knock on doors for a presidential candidate – a young man with a funny name,” he said. “We knew the stakes were high then. The stakes are colossal now.” Buttigieg also referenced his homosexuality, noting that as a young man he was worried that he could never serve in the military, never be accepted in America, and never be happily married to another man: You’re looking at someone who as a young man growing up wondered if something deep inside of him meant that he would forever be an outsider — would never wear the uniform, never be accepted, never know love. And now you are looking at that same young man, a veteran, a mayor, happily married, asking for your vote for President of the United States. He also hinted to the crowd of Iowa Democrats that he would go deer hunting with his father-in-law after Thanksgiving in “rural” Michigan. “In a few weeks on the morning of Thanksgiving Day, because in 2019 in rural Michigan, you cannot stop a man from going deer hunting with his husband’s father,” he said. Buttigieg also mocked Trump for golfing on his own golf course and claimed that the president was only “pretending to care about the working class.” “I don’t even golf,” he said. “I get around in a Chevy that was built in Ohio by the same workers this president has let down.” He tried to portray himself as the candidate running outside of Washington, DC, noting that he was the mayor of a midwestern town. Buttigieg also ridiculed the president for organizing a military parade, boasting that he served in Afghanistan and had seen the “dust of a war zone.” “I don’t have to throw myself a military parade to see what a convoy looks like, ‘cause I was driving in one around Afghanistan right about the time this president was taping Season 7 of Celebrity Apprentice,” he said. He claimed that Americans were hungry to end the division in their country and bring an end to the Trump presidency, which he promised would be “an end to the chaos, and the corruption, and the tantrums and the tweets.” The South Bend mayor promised a new coalition of progressives, moderates, and “Republicans of conscience” who wanted a change in the Oval Office. He promised to fight Trump in the 2020 election, arguing that the president’s political playbook would not work on him. Trump, he argued, was more focused on promoting his own victories than trying to united the country. “We know that the purpose of the presidency is not the glorification of the president, it is the unification of the American people,” he said. “That is why we have the office.”

www.breitbart.com/politics/2019/11/01/kamala-harris-crumbling-in-new-hampshire-closing-three-offices-to-go-all-in-on-iowa/Sen. Kamala Harris’s (D-CA) campaign is laying off campaign staff and closing three offices in New Hampshire, a crucial early primary state, as part of its effort to go “all-in on Iowa,” according to reports. Harris’s campaign will no longer have a heavy presence in New Hampshire, reportedly laying off campaign staff and closing offices in Nashua, Portsmouth, and Keene, in order to focus entirely on Iowa. While Harris’s office in Manchester will remain open, WMUR confirmed that it will be “scaled down.” Per WMUR: The Harris campaign also told WMUR that Harris has cancelled her scheduled visit to New Hampshire on Wednesday and Thursday of next week. While Harris will not file her candidacy herself, her name will “100 percent be placed on the ballot,” the campaign said, either by a surrogate or by mail. Harris is also recruiting staffers from Nevada in what appears to be a last-ditch effort to garner support in the Hawkeye State. Harris campaign spokesperson Nate Evans told WMUR: Sen. Harris and this team set out with one goal — to win the nomination and defeat Donald Trump in 2020. To do so, the campaign has made a strategic decision to realign resources to go all-in on Iowa, resulting in office closures and staff realignments and reductions in New Hampshire. “The campaign will continue to have a staff presence in New Hampshire but the focus is and will continue to be on Iowa,” Evans continued. “Sen. Harris will not visit New Hampshire on Nov. 6 and 7, but her name will still be placed on the primary ballot,” he confirmed. A reporter overheard Harris telling a colleague that she was “f*cking moving to Iowa” in September– a flub that her campaign glommed onto. Despite beefing up resources and appearances in the Hawkeye State – even helping families prepare Sunday meals as part of her “I feel your pain” tour, Harris is floundering in recent Iowa polls. A New York Times/Siena College poll released Friday showed Harris far from the top tier of candidates, garnering just three percent support. A Civiqs survey released last week showed similar results, with Harris tying for sixth place with just three percent support: Iowa Democratic Caucus: Warren 28 (+4 Since last Month) Buttigieg 20 (+7) Sanders 18 (+2) Biden 12 (-4) Klobuchar 4 (+1) Harris 3 (-2) Steyer 3 (+1) Gabbard 2 (-4) Yang 2 (-1) Everyone else 1% or less Iowa State University/@civiqs Pollhttps://t.co/TFEtJZaDBB — Political Polls (@ppollingnumbers) October 24, 2019 The current Real Clear Politics average also shows Harris with three percent support.

www.breitbart.com/clips/2019/11/01/joe-biden-alleges-trump-involved-in-a-cover-up-on-ukraine/On Friday’s broadcast of PBS’s “Newshour,” 2020 Democratic presidential candidate former Vice President Joe Biden said he believes President Donald Trump is engaged in a cover-up about his interactions with Ukraine. Judy Woodruff asked, “The phone call between President Trump and the president of Ukraine, now that there are White House aides saying there was material left out of the transcript of that call. Do you believe the president is involved in a cover-up?” Biden said, “Yes. Look, you have some of the finest people in the administration feeling they have to come forward and say exactly what they heard and what they knew.” He continued, “The idea that someone would invite a foreign power into our election and in the process withhold —apparently the allegation by some within the administration who heard the conversations — withhold vital aid, military aid voted for by the Congress while Ukrainian are dying… is just one of the things that no president that I’m aware of would ever thought of doing.”

www.zerohedge.com/political/remember-november-pelosi-warns-2020-candidates-theyre-wrong-track"What Are You Thinking?": Pelosi Warns 2020 Candidates They're On The Wrong Track House Speaker Nancy Pelosi thinks Democrats running for president in 2020 might strike out against Trump with ultra-liberal policies that fire up the party's progressive base, yet might not go over so well with swing voters in flyover states. Proposals pushed by Elizabeth Warren and Bernie Sanders like Medicare for All and a wealth tax play well in liberal enclaves like her own district in San Francisco but won’t sell in the Midwestern states that sent Trump to the White House in 2016, she said. -Bloomberg "What works in San Francisco does not necessarily work in Michigan,"Pelosi said in a wide-ranging interview with Bloomberg. "What works in Michigan works in San Francisco — talking about workers’ rights and sharing prosperity." "Remember November," she added. "You must win the Electoral College." And while she didn't back any particular candidate running for office, Pelosi said Democrats should be focusing on "lower costs of prescription drugs, bigger paychecks by building infrastructure, and cleaner government." She also worries that candidates like Warren and Sanders are going down the wrong track by trying to 'out-left' each other to court fellow progressives while abandoning moderate voters that the party needs to win back from Trump. "As a left-wing San Francisco liberal I can say to these people: What are you thinking?" Pelosi said. "You can ask the left — they’re unhappy with me for not being a socialist." Pelosi also expressed concerns that voters don't care about the Green New Deal promoted by Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren, which calls for rapid, radical reductions in carbon emissions. "There’s very strong opposition on the labor side to the Green New Deal because it’s like 10 years, no more fossil fuel. Really?" said Pelosi. The speaker’s concerns reflect those of many Democratic leaders and donors who believe that left-wing policies will alienate swing voters and lead to defeat. Warren and Sanders are betting on a different theory — that voters who float between parties are less ideological and can be inspired to vote for candidates who represent bold new change in Washington. Pelosi said Democrats should seek to build on President Barack Obama’s Affordable Care Act instead of pushing ahead with the more sweeping Medicare for All plan favored by Warren and Sanders that would create a government-run health care system and abolish private insurance. -Bloomberg Instead, Pelosi says Democrats need to salvage Obamacare: "Protect the Affordable Care Act — I think that’s the path to health care for all Americans. Medicare For All has its complications," she said, adding that "the Affordable Care Act is a better benefit than Medicare." Warren on Friday announced that her Medicare for All plan would cost $52 trillion (raising federal spending by $20.5 trillion over 10 years), and would be funded through a wave of taxes on large corporations, the wealthy, cracking down on tax evasion, an $800 billion reduction in defense spending, and putting newly legalized immigrants on the tax rolls. The Biden campaign called her plan "mathematical gymnastics" which would raise taxes on the middle class. Warren hit back, accusing Biden of "running in the wrong presidential primary." "Democrats are not going to win by repeating Republican talking points," Warren said while speaking in Des Moines, Iowa. "So, if Biden doesn’t like that, I’m just not sure where he’s going."

Full blown case of TDS here: www.newsbusters.org/blogs/nb/kristine-marsh/2019/11/01/joy-behar-trump-thinks-his-voters-are-stupid-rallies-are-fakeJoy Behar: Trump Thinks His Voters Are Stupid; Rallies Are Fake, Full of Paid Actors
Just when you think things can’t get any more ridiculous on The View, the hosts spend time whining the President’s son’s Halloween costume is insensitive to animals. On Friday’s show, they also complained about a 2020 Trump campaign ad, which Joy Behar declared was full of paid actors “just like the ones who go to his rallies.”…
Afterwards, all of the hosts, saved for Miami resident Ana Navarro, cheered President Trump’s decision to move his home residence to Florida. Behar actually thought this would hurt President Trump, because New Yorkers didn’t like Trump so that meant Floridians wouldn’t either when he moved there, because #logic:
“When he lived in New York, New York did not vote for him. Now they’re going to get to know him a lot in Florida, they will not vote for him there either!” she gushed. The hosts went on to trash a 2020 Trump campaign ad against impeachment.
“There was not one black woman in that ad!” Hostin gushed, repeating “They couldn’t pay a black actress, enough money to be in it!”
Joy Behar claimed the ad was fake just like the people who go to his rallies: “To me that says that the Republican party thinks that their constituents are stupid because it says nothing. Those are all paid actors just like the ones who go to his rally.”Video: www.mrctv.org/videos/view-rags-don-jr-halloween-costume-claims-trump-rallies-full-paid-actors

www.dailywire.com/news/poll-data-majorities-oppose-medicare-for-all-if-it-eliminates-private-health-insuranceWith the rollout of Sen. Elizabeth Warren’s (D-MA) health care plan on Friday, a “Medicare for All” style system has now been officially proposed by two of the most popular Democratic presidential candidates. Multiple analyses have concluded that Sen. Bernie Sanders’ (I-VT) “Medicare for All” plan would cost as much as $32 trillion over a decade. Warren claims her plan would require approximately $20.5 trillion in “new” federal spending. TOP ARTICLES 1/6 READ MORE Charlize Theron Says Playing Megyn Kelly Was Difficult, But Ultimately ‘A Story Worth Telling’ Many progressive commentators and politicians claim that “Medicare for All,” or its more general counterpart, “Universal coverage,” is popular among voters. Poll after poll appear to suggest the same thing – except upon closer inspection, that’s not quite the case. In February, The Hill-HarrisX released a survey that asked respondents the following question about health care: “Which of the following comes closest to your views?” 15% of respondents said that “the government should remove itself from paying for all health care.” 14% said “the current health care system should be kept as is.” 26% said “any citizen should be able to sign up for Medicare/Medicaid regardless of age or income while those with private plans could keep their existing insurance.” 32% said “Medicare/Medicaid should be expanded to cover all citizens regardless of age or income but people should be able to purchase private supplemental plans.” 13% said “Medicare/Medicaid should be expanded to cover all citizens regardless of age or income and private health plans should be abolished.” A July poll from NPR/PBS NewsHour/Marist asked respondents if “Medicare for all, that is a national health insurance program for all Americans that replaces private health insurance,” was a “good idea” or a “bad idea.” 41% said it was a “good idea,” while 54% said it was a “bad idea.” An August survey by Monmouth University asked: “Which of the following comes closest to how you would like to see health care handled: A) Get rid of all private insurance coverage in favor of having everyone on a single public plan like Medicare for All, B) Allow people to either opt into Medicare or keep their private coverage … or D) Keep the health insurance system basically as it is?” Only 22% selected A, while 53% selected B, and 11% selected D. In September, NBC News/Wall Street Journal released a survey in which respondents were asked if they supported a Medicare for All-style system in which “private health insurance would be eliminated.” 22% said they “strongly support” such a system, 19% said they “somewhat support,” while 44% said they “strongly oppose,” and 12% said they “somewhat oppose.” That’s a combined 41% supporting such a system, and 56% opposing it. In October, the Kaiser Family Foundation (KFF) asked respondents: “Would you favor or oppose a national Medicare-for-all plan if you heard that it would … eliminate private health insurance companies?” While 37% said they would favor such a plan, 58% said they would oppose it. What these surveys demonstrate is that once the glossy buzzphrase of “Medicare for All” is wiped away, and the American people are faced with the elimination of private insurance, the majority react negatively. Despite this fact, Sen. Sanders and Sen. Warren, two of the leading Democratic candidates for president, have put out plans that would indeed eliminate private insurance.

Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) decried U.S. “genocide” and “western imperialism” in a speech at a Bernie Sanders rally in Minneapolis Sunday night at the University of Minnesota’s Williams Arena. In her speech, Omar, who endorsed Sanders two weeks ago, accused the United States of “genocide” against Native Americans and said of Sanders, “I am beyond honored and excited for a President who will fight against western imperialism and fight for a just world. I am excited, I am excited for President Bernie Sanders!”

www.rushlimbaugh.com/daily/2019/11/05/horror-on-the-today-show-trump-voters-stun-nbc/RUSH: Now to the audio sound bites of the Drive-Bys desperately trying to find evidence that their work is working! This is what they’re doing. For the past year — for the past year, ever since the Mueller report came out — they have been hell-bent on convincing the American people Trump is corrupt and has gotta go… RUSH: We’re gonna start with the Today show and a correspondent, Morgan Radford. They sent her down to Florida. It’s becoming comical now, folks. Literal horror on the Today show today. The correspondent came to Florida, interviewed Trump voters, cannot find any who have abandoned Trump, and they even love Donald Trump the person! Everything the media has attempted to create in terms of public opinion against Trump isn’t happening. Here’s the first bite. RADFORD: Show of hands, how many of you voted for the president back in 2016? (nine voters all put their hand up) And how many of you plan to vote for him again in 2020? (nine voters all put their hand up again) All of you. You’re raising both hands. Would you say your support for the president now is more or less than it was when you first voted for him? VOTERS: It’s more. More. A lot more. RADFORD: More. And has the impeachment inquiry changed anything? MALE VOTER 1: What inquiry? FEMALE VOTER 1: It’s strengthened my love for him. MALE VOTER 2: It’s galvanized our support. RADFORD: So you support him more now. MALE VOTER 2: We’re stronger than ever.

Bernie Sanders unveiled a proposal Thursday to overhaul the Department of Homeland Security, positioning himself to the far left on the issue of immigration enforcement. The Vermont senator introduced a sweeping immigration plan that champions the largest overhaul of DHS since it was established in the wake of the 2001 terrorist attacks. The progressive lawmaker, among many items, called for the breakup of two DHS agencies, a halt on deportation, a halt to border wall construction and the embrace of tens of thousands of “climate migrants.” “My father came to America as a refugee without a nickel in his pocket, to escape widespread anti-Semitism and find a better life,” Sanders tweeted Thursday. “Today I released my plan to reject Trump’s hate and live up to our ideals as a nation that welcomes immigrants and refugees.” With the introduction of his plan, Sanders became the first Democratic candidate to call for the breakup of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and Customs and Border Protection (CBP), the two agencies under DHS that are tasked with protecting the U.S. border and carrying out immigration enforcement.
