MOMENT GOP Congress Man Eli Crane TOTALLY DESTROY Democrat Governor Tim Walz Using His Own Words<\/p>\n
The Rhetoric vs. Reality: Governor Walz\u2019s Congressional Roasting<\/p>\n
The recent congressional hearing was a masterclass in political confrontation, featuring GOP Congressman<\/p>\n
Eli Crane\u00a0absolutely torching Democrat Governor\u00a0Tim Walz\u00a0on a variety of issues, ranging from immigration policy to incendiary rhetoric. Crane didn\u2019t just ask questions; he delivered an execution via the Governor\u2019s own words, showcasing a perceived disconnect between Walz\u2019s statements and the hard realities of his state\u2019s policies.<\/p>\n
The Immigration Inconsistencies: \u201cWhy Are You Lying?\u201d<\/p>\n
The exchange began with a direct challenge to the Governor\u2019s opening statement, where Walz claimed that \u201cnothing Minnesota has done stands in the way of federal government managing its border security policy.\u201d Crane immediately called him out, asking,<\/p>\n
\u201cWhy are you lying to this committee?\u201d<\/p>\n
The core of Crane\u2019s attack was the public stance of Minnesota\u2019s Attorney General,\u00a0Keith Ellison, the state\u2019s top law enforcement official. Crane submitted an article stating that AG Ellison \u201cwill not enforce federal immigration laws,\u201d even as the DOJ threatens prosecution for officials who resist. Walz\u2019s defense\u2014claiming state law requires officials to ask for immigration status of convicted felons\u2014was swiftly dismissed by Crane as a misrepresentation, insisting that the AG\u2019s public defiance stands as a clear contradiction to the Governor\u2019s assurance of non-interference.<\/p>\n
Crane then moved to the argument that Minnesota\u2019s policies actively create a border magnet, citing a list of state benefits:\u00a0free healthcare, food assistance, free college tuition, driver\u2019s licenses, and cash assistance.<\/p>\n
\u00a0In Crane\u2019s judgment, these policies are not \u201chelping\u201d border security but are rather creating an irresistible incentive, effectively making Minnesota a\u00a0\u201csanctuary state\u201d\u00a0in practice, regardless of official designation.<\/p>\n
The Toxic Messaging: ICE and the \u201cGustapo\u201d<\/p>\n
The scrutiny intensified as Crane addressed the Governor\u2019s rhetoric, particularly Walz\u2019s past characterization of\u00a0ICE (Immigration and Customs Enforcement)<\/p>\n
agents.<\/p>\n
Crane grilled Walz on his decision to call federal law enforcement agents<\/p>\n
\u201cmodern-day Gustapo,\u201d\u00a0a deeply offensive historical parallel. Crane challenged the Governor directly: \u201cYou think that calling them Gustapo is helping?\u201d Walz attempted to pivot to a defense of \u201cdue process\u201d and \u201cbest practice in law enforcement,\u201d but Crane hammered the point that such inflammatory language from a state executive actively hurts the federal government\u2019s ability to carry out its mandated enforcement.<\/p>\n
Further damaging the Governor\u2019s credibility was an unverified quote where Walz allegedly told\u00a0Anderson Cooper, regarding the border wall, \u201cIf it\u2019s 25 ft, then I\u2019ll invest in a 30-foot ladder factory.\u201d Walz claimed not to remember the comment, which Crane seized upon as evidence of \u201cso many outlandish things that you can\u2019t even keep track of them.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u00a0\u00a0The Radical Agenda and Electoral Damage<\/p>\n
Crane saved his most powerful and judgmental rebuke for the end, focusing on what he labeled Walz\u2019s\u00a0\u201cradical left-wing agenda.\u201d<\/p>\n
He dismissed Walz\u2019s previous podcast boast that he scares MAGA voters \u201cbecause they know I can fix a truck\u201d and could \u201ckick most of their asses,\u201d countering that the fear stems purely from his policies.<\/p>\n
Crane\u2019s list of \u201cradical\u201d policies included:<\/p>\n
Supporting\u00a0tampons in boys\u2019 bathrooms.<\/p>\n
Advocating for\u00a0disarming Americans\u00a0of their Second Amendment rights.<\/p>\n
Being\u00a0pro-sanctuary city.<\/p>\n
Claiming there is\u00a0\u201cno guarantee to free speech\u201d<\/p>\n
\u00a0when it comes to misinformation and hate speech\u2014a view Crane acidly suggested Walz may have picked up during one of his alleged trips to\u00a0\u201ccommunist China.\u201d<\/p>\n
Finally, Crane weaponized Walz\u2019s political aspirations against him, referencing a quote where Walz allegedly said Kamala Harris picked him for Vice President to \u201ccode talk to white guys.\u201d Crane closed the interrogation with a decisive blow, stating Walz<\/p>\n
\u201clost by 22 points to white guys\u201d\u00a0and promising: \u201cIf you want to continue that rhetoric, go on, brother. Keep doing it.\u00a0We\u2019ll keep destroying you in election.\u201c<\/p>\n
The entire spectacle, as the transcript concludes, was a decisive, one-sided clash where Congressman Crane used facts, undeniable quotes, and logic to demonstrate, in his judgment, the severe consequences of Governor Walz\u2019s radical ideology and inflammatory rhetoric.<\/p>\n
\u00a0Hochul Pumps The Brakes On Mamdani\u2019s $700 Million Free Bus Plan![\"\"](\"https:\/\/cdnn-11.cybergalleria.com\/uploads\/images\/default\/20251114\/Screenshot_5-1763107872-q80.webp\")
<\/p>\n
The wheels are coming off the socialist bus.<\/p>\n
New York Gov. Kathy Hochul is tapping the brakes on Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani\u2019s $700 million plan for free city buses, casting early doubt on one of the far-left lawmaker\u2019s biggest campaign promises, The New York Post reported.<\/p>\n
Speaking at the SOMOS political retreat in Puerto Rico on Saturday, Hochul said she\u2019s already spent heavily to support the city\u2019s struggling MTA and questioned how much further the state could go.<\/p>\n
\u201cI continue to be excited at the work of making the slowest buses in America fast and free,\u201d Mamdani said Monday during an unrelated press conference. \u201cAnd I appreciate the governor\u2019s continued partnership in delivering on that agenda of affordability.\u201d<\/p>\n
But Hochul\u2019s comments in San Juan marked the latest break between the moderate Democratic governor and Mamdani, the Democratic socialist she endorsed just two months ago.<\/p>\n
Hochul happily rode Mamdani\u2019s coattails during the campaign as he energized progressives with promises of affordability and social programs, but she has shown far less enthusiasm for actually paying for them.<\/p>\n
The governor has rejected several of Mamdani\u2019s cornerstone ideas, including proposals to raise taxes on wealthy New Yorkers to fund $10 billion in new benefits like free child care and fareless transit.<\/p>\n
Her caution could create a serious roadblock for the incoming mayor, whose ambitious plans rely on support from Albany to move forward.<\/p>\n
The top two Democratic leaders in the state Legislature \u2014 Assembly Speaker Carl Heastie and Senate Majority Leader Andrea Stewart-Cousins \u2014 have signaled more willingness to help Mamdani pursue his agenda.<\/p>\n
That divide leaves Hochul increasingly isolated from the party\u2019s energized left flank, which has been openly pressuring her to embrace higher taxes on the rich.<\/p>\n
During recent public appearances, activists have twice interrupted the governor with chants of \u201cTax the rich,\u201d drawing a sharp rebuke.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe more you push me, the more I\u2019m not going to do what you want,\u201d Hochul told the SOMOS crowd in response.<\/p>\n
Still, Hochul did not fully reject Mamdani\u2019s wish list.<\/p>\n
She said she\u2019s open to working with him on expanding free child care, though she made clear it would be an expensive and long-term goal.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019ll be on a path to get there, because I\u2019m committed to this as \u2018mom governor\u2019 \u2014 I get it,\u201d Hochul said.<\/p>\n
\u201cBut also to do it statewide, right now, it\u2019s about $15 billion \u2014 the entire amount of my reserves.\u201d<\/p>\n
The cautious tone was a reality check for Mamdani, who has portrayed himself as the champion of \u201ceveryday New Yorkers\u201d and promised to make the city more affordable through massive new public spending.<\/p>\n
Hochul\u2019s remarks also came as she continues her own political maneuvering ahead of a likely 2026 re-election bid.<\/p>\n
After the SOMOS conference, she flew to the Dominican Republic to attend a breakfast celebrating cross-cultural exchange \u2014 an event seen as an appeal to one of New York\u2019s largest and most influential immigrant voting blocs.<\/p>\n
Hundreds of thousands of New Yorkers trace family roots to the Dominican Republic, making the outreach a politically savvy move for a governor seeking to rebuild her base while keeping the party\u2019s left wing at arm\u2019s length.<\/p>\n
Whether Hochul and Mamdani can maintain their uneasy alliance may determine not only the future of free buses and child care, but also the balance of power within the New York Democratic Party.<\/p>\n
Beloved Hollywood manager Peter Meyer, who represented A-list stars like Tom Hanks and Kevin Costner, passed away at 68 after a brave five-year battle with sarcoma. His sister shared, \u201cAfter a heroic fight, Meyer found peace surrounded by his family.\u201d The entertainment industry, along with his clients and friends, is deeply mourning his loss.<\/p>\n
Meyer, who spent over a decade as a talent agent at William Morris, went on to establish Meyer Management in 1989, representing a wide array of talents throughout his illustrious career. A memorial service will be held on June 13, 2023, at St. Monica\u2019s Catholic Church in Santa Monica to honor his legacy.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, Kevin Costner, currently navigating his divorce from Christine Baumgartner, has made a significant financial commitment to his ambitious Western project, the Horizon franchise. Costner mortgaged a 10-acre waterfront property in Santa Barbara, contributing up to $50 million of the project\u2019s $100 million budget. Despite the financial risks, Costner remains passionate about the project, stating, \u201cI believe in the idea and the story.\u201d He also emphasized that this would be his final personal investment in a film, saying, \u201cI\u2019m never putting my money in another movie after these four.\u201d<\/p>\n
Unlikely Senate Duo Crosses The Aisle To Help End Government Shutdown<\/p>\n
While it\u2019s true the modern political climate in the United States is heavily divided along party lines, Pennsylvania Senators Dave McCormick (R) and John Fetterman (D) have been bucking the trend by providing an encouraging example of bipartisanship.The two senators recently released a video urging an end to the government shutdown, which is beginning to take a toll on average Americans. The collaboration features Fetterman saying, \u201cEven though we are in a different party, we both want to talk about why we believe it\u2019s so important to reopen this government.\u201d<\/p>\n
McCormick shares this sentiment in the video by saying, \u201c23 days, 12 votes, Senator Fetterman and I have both voted to open up the government. We agree on that 100%. It\u2019s really starting to hurt Pennsylvania.\u201d<\/p>\n
Some of the folks who are now beginning to feel the pinch from the shutdown include air traffic controllers and border patrol agents who are working to secure the border and keep the country safe. Resources set aside for two million SNAP users are starting to run low, which means those who use the service to support their families during tough economic times could go without the resources they need to get by.<\/p>\n
By acknowledging this reality, both senators are demonstrating a commitment that goes beyond party allegiance and addresses their constituents\u2019 concerns and needs.<\/p>\n
Both senators have also been deeply involved in efforts to pass bills that would alleviate the suffering caused by the shutdown. They voted in favor of a measure to pay certain federal workers during the deadlock. Unfortunately, these measures did not pass in the Senate.<\/p>\n
Many are hoping that the bipartisanship on display between McCormick and Fetterman will rub off on others in the Senate and help heal some of the division that is ripping the country apart and preventing an agreement that will get the government up and running.<\/p>\n
Conservatives and even a handful of Democrats are hopeful that seeing these two work together for the betterment of their constituents will lead others to see that collaboration between individuals with different political ideologies is possible when politicians, elected to represent the people, put the needs of others above their own.<\/p>\n
While there are many different areas of disagreement between Republicans and Democrats concerning the shutdown, providing healthcare for illegal aliens is one of the biggest hurdles to cross. President Donald Trump has made it clear he will not compromise on this issue.<\/p>\n
Trump Praised By Clinton, Schumer After Historic Israel-Hamas Peace Deal<\/p>\n
Former President Donald Trump is receiving rare praise from Democrats and political opponents after brokering a peace deal between Israel and Hamas, effectively ending two years of devastating conflict. The deal follows the October 2023 Hamas attack that killed 1,300 Israelis and took over 250 hostages. Israel responded with a massive military campaign that killed thousands in Gaza and left widespread destruction.<\/p>\n
With the support of Qatar and other regional partners, the Trump administration successfully negotiated a ceasefire that included the release of all 20 remaining Israeli hostages and more than 1,900 Palestinian prisoners. Former President Bill Clinton publicly commended Trump\u2019s involvement, stating that he and his team \u201cdeserve great credit\u201d for staying committed to the negotiations. Clinton emphasized the importance of turning this \u201cfragile moment\u201d into a foundation for lasting peace.<\/p>\n

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer also acknowledged Trump\u2019s contribution, calling the hostages\u2019 release \u201ca wonderful day\u201d and expressing gratitude for the administration\u2019s work. Trump, in remarks to Israeli leaders, urged a move away from warfare toward diplomacy and described the agreement as a pivotal moment for long-term regional stability.<\/p>\n
Other Democratic leaders, including House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries and former President Barack Obama, praised the ceasefire and the flow of humanitarian aid into Gaza. However, they did not directly credit Trump. Still, their support for the outcome highlights the significance of the agreement and the hope it brings to the region.<\/p>\n
When asked about the longevity of the ceasefire, Trump said the future is uncertain but vowed to continue supporting peace efforts, expressing hope that another Republican would carry on his work after his term ends.<\/p>\n
Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y. and Bill and Hillary Clinton are leading a chorus of prominent Democrats praising President Donald Trump for the\u00a0Israel-Hamas ceasefire deal\u00a0and the release of the remaining living hostages.<\/p>\n
The support from across the aisle comes as the Gaza-based terrorist group Hamas freed all 20 remaining living hostages held in the Gaza Strip on Monday.<\/p>\n
\u201cToday is a wonderful day. Finally, finally, finally, the last living hostages brutally held by Hamas are home, an immense and overwhelming sigh of relief,\u201d\u00a0Schumer said\u00a0in a statement.\u00a0\u201cI commend the enormous advocacy of the tireless hostage families, President Trump, his administration, and all who helped make this moment happen.\u201d \u201cPresident Trump and his administration, Qatar, and other regional actors deserve great credit for keeping everyone engaged until the agreement was reached,\u201d\u00a0added former President Bill Clinton.<\/p>\n
Trump visited Israel on Monday to address\u00a0Israel\u2019s parliament, the Knesset, and met with some of the\u00a0families of the released hostages.\u00a0While returning home on Air Force One, the president was asked by a reporter for his reaction to Clinton\u2019s remark.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\\\\\u2019ve always liked Bill Clinton. I\\\\\u2019ve always gotten along with him,\u201d Trump said. \u201cI thought it was very nice, actually. And what is he doing? He\\\\\u2019s telling the truth.\u201d<\/p>\n
Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton\u00a0also praised Trump,\u00a0telling CBS News\\\\\u2019 Norah O\\\\\u2019Donnell on Friday, \u201cI really commend President Trump and his administration, as well as Arab leaders in the region for making the commitment to the 20-point plan and seeing a path forward for what\u2019s often called the day after.\u201d<\/p>\n
The Trump administration had published\u00a0a 20-point plan\u00a0in late September on how it would end the war in Gaza.<\/p>\n
