The full segment aired on the GlobalTV app in Canada. Someone sent me a link to a recorded version. Let's see if we can figure out whether Bari Weiss' decision to spike it was editorial or political.

Electing Trump because you're pissed at the Democrats is like lighting your own house on fire to spite your neighbors with the smoke.

So I have the cover story in next month's TNR.
I interviewed the heads of police groups; immigration defense attorneys, ex-judges and ex-prosecutors; former DOJ and DHS officials, and the former head of Border Patrol.
They're all horrified at what we've seen, and they all fear what's coming.

With the Trump administration promising to continue these illegal boat strikes, transparency can't wait.
Congress, the courts, and we the people have a responsibility to shine a light on these deadly strikes now and defend the principle that no one — not even the president — is above the law.

One thing about NCAR is it has a really nice public-welcoming building that has very-high educational value for visitors. That's on the side of its main weather mission but it's non-trivial.

Kyle Clark is always so good at simplifying a complex issue into digestible pieces in the space of minutes.
President Trump spoke publicly about Colorado's Tina Peters for the first time since issuing her a so-called "pardon."
Trump did not mention the pardon but did make several false claims about Peters' case.
We unpack them one by one.
