That was not enough to keep her campaignshe announced wednesdaye would be ending request for the white house. Next, her remarks from charleston, south carolina, where she declined toformer preg it was now his responsibility to appeal to those who voted for her. Good morning. Just over a year ago, i not i launch my campaign for president. When i began, i said the campaign was grounded in my love of country pier lastneration immigrant, got to vote for her daughter for president. Only in america. I am filled with gratitudeor the outpouring of support we have received from all across our great country, but the time has now come to suspend my campaign. Americans to have their voices heard. I have done that. I have no regrets, and although i will no longer■ be a candida, i will not stop using my voice for the things i believe in. Our National Debt will eventually crush our economy. A smaller federal government is not only necessary for our freedom, it is necessary for our survival. The road to socialism is the road to ruin for america. Our congress is dysfunctional and only getting worse. I will continue to promotell every american. I sought the honor of being your present, president , but our great country, the bay citizens privilege enough in itself, and thats a privilege i very much look forward to enjoying. In all likelih d trump will be the republican nominee when our Party Convention meets in july. I congratulate him and wish him well. I wish anyone well who would be americas president. Our country is too precious to let our differences divide us. I have always been a conservative republican and always supported the republican nominee, but on this question, as she did on so many others, Margaret Thatcher some good advise when she said just follow the crowd. Always make up your own mind. It is now up to donald trump to earn the votes of those in our party and beyond it who did not support him, and i hope he does that. At its best, politicis about bringing people into your cause, not turning them away, and our conservative cause badly needs more people. This is now his time for change. I end my campaign with the same words i began itro joshua. I direct them to all americans, but especially to so many of the women and girls out there who put their faith in our campaign. Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid. Do not be discouraged, for god will be with you wherever you go. In this campaign, i have seen our countrys greatness. From the bottom of my heart, thank you, america. God bless you. And hiss departe from the race prompted this statement from President Bidens Reelection Campaign ms. Haleys departure. Hethat unlike former President Trump, he welcomed the ley of supporters. I want to be clearm■x theres a place for them in my campaign. Next, trump remarks delivered from his maralago estate in florida. They call it super tuesday for a reason. They tell me, the pundits, there has never been any one like this. This was an amazing night, an amazing day. It has been an incredible period of time in our countrys history. It has been set in so many ways, but i think it will do something that, frankly, nobody has been able to do for a long time. Ave watched our country take a great beating over the last anything like this would be possible. We would not have russia attacking ukraine. We would not have■ ■ug attacked. Iran, as you know, was broke when i was running things. They did not have money for they did not have hezbollah. We had no inflation. Inflation is destroying the middle class, destroying everything. oja tragic thing happened during the election. It was a tragedy. All of the problems that you had today, i dont think you would have any of them. You would only have success, and and this party. Imately unifies we have a Great Republican Party with tremendous talent, and we want to have unity and we are going to have unity, and its going to happen very quickly. Our country was coming together. Our country was coming together, and now we have a very divided country. We have a country that is a political person uses weaponization against his opponent. It happens in other countries, but they are third world a third world country. We are a third world country with our borders and a third world country to stop that. We need a fair and repressed. The press has not been fair, nor it been free, but maybe one day it will be. We have been beaten up pretty bad. Nobody has confidence now in the police, and we have to get that confidence back. It is so important for the success of our country. So important. November 5 is going to go down as the single most important day in the history of our country.

[cheers and applause] because we know what is at stake. I have been so proud of how joe has placed women at the center of his agenda, starting with his historic pick for Vice President , kamala harris. [cheers and applause] the first but not the last. President biden is defending reproductive rights, fighting for a national law that would restore roes means protectings and access to contraception that means protecting ivf and access to contraception. And he has accomplished so much more, making child care more affordable, creang as to Maternal Health services, appointing Ketanji Brown jackson applause] and passing historic gun safety laws. My husband is the author of actd i saw him write that bill on yellow legal paper by hand, and he spent his entire career lifting up women. Trump [crowd booing] he spent a lifetime tearing us down and devaluing our existence. Yeah e mocks womens bodies, disrespects our accomplishments, and brags about assault. Now hes bragging about killing roe v. Wade.

Democrat jason palmer was a surprise winner of the American Samoan democratic president ial caucus this super tuesday. While redents of American Samoa are not allowed to vote in a president iallection as they are not considered citizens, members of the Democratic Party are able to participate in the partys president i caucus. Mr. Palmer took 51 of the 91 ballots cast in the caucus, netting him three of the territorysiates to the summers Democratic National convention in chicago. While not a household name, he is no stranger to cspan cameras. Hes onof the candidates we covered in december of the lesserknown Candidates Forum in new hampshire. Next, some of his appearance at the event. America needs an upgrade. Our country is entangled in too many foreign wars. Our congress is completely dysfunctional. Our borders are overrun, and our leadership is geriatric. Its time to pass the torch to a new generation of americans, are standing up and putting their hats in the ring. We need people that understand new technogi 21stcentury whileg committed to the values that are eternal here in america liberty, justice for all, the pursuit of happiness. I may unique candidate for submitting myself for public service. Of business and philanthropy and with colleges and universities for the las25 years of my life. I worked at the bill and Melinda Gates foundation. I have in a turnaround leader. I have invested in more than 20 entrepreneuro than 1000 jobs a1 billion in market capitalization. We need someone who actually knows how to fix things and Bring Solutions to this country. Thats what i have done over the course of my life. Ive constructed a platform based on three pillars i want to briefly explain to you. You ■n k■ have 20 seconds to. And i will do it in 20 seconds. The first is conscious capitalism. There is a way here in new england to reorganize ourrporats instead of c corporations. We can invest in people first and upscaled them upskill for jobs in the 21st century,. We are here today after a gunman killed three people and wounded a fourth and just a few hampshire, a Security Guard was shot and killed. What if anything needs to happen at the federal level to prevent this kind of violence . This issue is why 90 of Young Americans are tuning out this issue has occurred over and over and over in schools across america and we have not come up with a bipartisan■■ have a bipao resolve it. Its called gun violence reductio it respects the Second Amendment and the right of people to bear arms, but it also focuses on evidencebased solutions that we know will work to reduce gun those include things like gun training for new gun owners. Those include things like preventing semiotic weapons from being in the homes of people who have been convicted of domestic violence. Those involved red fl laws related to the Mental Health of individuals. You will notice that im saying this veryyz calmly, and the rean why is because people get very inflamed over this issue, but there is a bipartisan, evidencebased way to solve this problem, and as president , i intend to solve it within the first year of my administration. Mr. Palmer, you an end to endless war, so we will start with you. Regarding the war in gaza, should the u. S. Be insisting upon an exteed get all the amern hostages out of israel, or should we defer to the military and political on how to go forward . As a quaker by background, i think that all life is precious and every life has value, so a ceasefire is what the United States should be recommending with regards to the israeligaza conflict. We need to do everything in our power to minimize the loss of life. This conflict has been going ons kicking the can down the road. We need to show true leadershito committed these atrocities must be brought to justice, but not at the expense of the lestinian peopleboth the israele palestinians are living under corrupt governments. We can hold two thoughts in our head at the same time, and we need to focus on the loss of life. Ressmadean phillips dropped his bid for the presidency this week. The New York Times and others reported that in doing so, he endorsed President Bidens reelection bid, whiche had earlier criticized due to the president s age. Turning point in californias senate racas vots ittled down the field of candidates to just two, democratic candidate adam schiff and republican steve garvey. Not making the cut were democric representative katie poer. ezfinext, some of the victy speeches from congressman schiff and mr. Garvey on tuesday night ashey turned their attention to the general election. It looks like we are going to the general, ladies and gentlemen. [cheers and applause] i seem to recall within hours oe announcement, a certain Kevin Mccarthy kicked me off the[crow] that was my reaction, too. The republicansholding donald tp accountable. [cheers and applause] i viewed it that way. Trump would attack me rally after rally, and i think all those things were basically what we would call wednesday. [crowd chanting] i also want to acknowledge again my great gratitude to all my wonderful supporters, and i want to acknowledgeprotesters, and id to working with you all on our path to victory in november. Welcome to the california come back. [cheers and applause] what you are all fee tonight is what its like to hit a walkoff home run. Kind of like san diegobecause td it. We are going on to the general against adam schiff. [cheers and applause] keep in, this is the first game of a doubleheader. So keep the evening of november 5 opas we will celebrate again. As we celebrate tonight, i want you to know that we have not come this far go this far. When i stepped on the field for the dodgers and the padres, i did not play for democrats or republicans or independents. I played for all the fans, and tonight, im running for all the people. Colin allred, the democratic congressman representing a 32nd health house strict on tuesday, House District in texas, alsnotched a win and now faces republican ted cruz. Next, a portion of congressman allreds victory speech from tuesday evening. Im a fourth generation texan. I was born and raised in dallas by a single mom and Public School teacher. My family is from brownsville, went to school in waco, i have served in congress now my sixth year, and i cannot tell you how much it means senator from the great state of texas. [cheers and applause] while i will be the democratic nominee, i want every to know, if you are a democrat, an independent, or republican, that i want you to be involved in want to serve you in the United States senate. [applause] the truth is, the stakes any his election. Our freedoms are under attack. We do have a crisis at the border, that we have to respond to. E still too high. We have had challenges before and we will have them again. The fundamental reason democracy works is people like leaders to represent them and their interests and try to fix things for them, not to look out for themselves. We have had enough of that for direction. [cheers and applause] our Public Servants should serve and they are the and theres are Public Servants and theres tedn cru■u [laughter] we all know who ted is. When i was in the nfl, we had a term for guys like him. We called them m guys. We dont have to be embarrassed by our senators. We can get a new one. Like i said, im about as texas as you get. There is one thing i know about us as texans we believe in freedom, and thats what this election will be all about, restoring our freedoms. As you all know, im a civil rights lawyer, so i have to talk about dr. King, and he saidhe ms not where they stand in moments of comfort and convenience but where they stand in the most challenging moments. We know where ted cruz stands on those moments come. When 30 million texans are freezing in the dark, he decides to go to cancun. When over democracy was under attack, he is hiding in the supply closet after he was the one who whipped up the mob. We know where he stands. Always stand with you. I will always put texas first. I will always make sure that im keeping you in mind not my own political future for any nonsense like that. We have had enough of that. We have had enough bk believing in the power of we. More news in this years senate races, this time from arizona. Independent nator Kyrsten Sinema annouedhe would not be seeking election this year. That leaves a likely twoway race between Ruben Gallego and kari lake. Next, two interviews with social Media Influencers with large followings. First, isaiah hernandez, environmental activist and progressive, and then christy clark, a reporter who specializes i covering undercover stories through a conservative lens. Both have followings of hundreds of thousands on tiktok, instagram, andz youtube, and talked to cspan about their work in the Digital Space and how they carved out audiences in todays political environment. Isaiah hernandez, you are meioned in a Washington Post article with the headline what tiktok activism says about chances. What role are you playing on the platform . I think contributing to Digital Media will be huge in the coming elections and is also where general citizens get their information today. Arnd 25 of people are actually learning about environmentrelated issues through social media. With traditional media accounting for Something Like 44 . I think younger adults are in positions where they can ask direct questions and can be a conduit for the government. What topics are you talking about when it comes to this literacy . What do you want people to know about this upcoming election . When it comes to literacy, i think is its important for people to understand the existing it is important for people to understand the existing issues that are important for the demographic. Gen z has concerns about health care, womens rights, lgbt rights, climate as huge issues that are deeply concerning for them. One way i communicate that is talking about■c updated Climate Policies and routes our government is taking, if that is through the pausing■ permits fg project that was announced by the Biden Harris Administration or if thats looking at the Inflation Reduction Act, how policies passed by congress are progressing, and i think it helps capture a story for young people to understand that systemic change or policy change does not happen within a day. It happens throughout the years, and i think its important that young people are able to grapple with that informatio how are fossil fuels funding the war on ukraine . Lets talk about it. I want to be clear up front this war is not happening because of fossil fuels, but it is being funded by them. Russia is what is called a petro state, which means that its gas. In fact, russia has been supplying oil than saudi arabia and more than 1 3 natural gas. That is why is it such a big deal that President Biden Just Announced that the United States is cutting russian oil exports. This is a huge win. It also means gas prices will keep going up in the short term, which is why biden has decided that the real key to Energy Independence is transitioning to a clean energy economy. ■1 how many followers do you have . Collectively, i have around 200,000. One around 50,000 on tiktok and 120,000 and instagram. Are you telling people who to vote f . Yeah, i think when it comes to our 2024 democratic election, i think the huge emphasis right now is to get theon on which candidates are out there, and i think its important to understand i think that we dont really portray a political figure as perfect, but rather looking at existing policies that are being pushed and g e policies that can be pushed. I think a lot of yougenerations, critical questions for our administration, and i think it is really up to us to not so much give them a perfect picture but give them a realistic view of where our democracy is at, and i think allowing for that realistic storytelling to happen , i think that allows people to understand the nuance of decisions being made politically there was a tiktok for biden the last election cycle. Were you part of that group . Id say no. What i was part of, though, was a group that help promote the Inflation Reduction Act where a few climate creators were invited to talk about this huge climate legislative policy that was being implemented, and i think for me, it was really strong to see commitments from the u. S. Government to actually push something climate related since i know that information is often delayed to see which Climate Policies are being pushed. Seeing the president has committed to acknowledging the kse crisis is a huge step forward to helping move that needle. Have you decided who you are voting for . Yeah, i think i have decided who i want to vote for, although him not being my primary choice, i think i will be standing to support joe biden, although i do have my critiques and huge criticisms around the decisions and the things he has been acting upon. I do that my vote does matter, and i think that for a lot of people who may be afraid to vote this election cycle, i think■ its recognizing the ways in which our president does have a large influence on our policies but also our local elections, and i think ensuring that local elections are also communicated from the ground up and making sure a lot of people can connect with local policies, so that allows them to understand that these local changes end up becoming large, systemic changes. I think is validit from voting , probably upcoming decisions its valid for us to benharrisr realistic today. We are unhappy with the choice, but we will vote, and i think they need to hear. You are not perfect, but we will vote for you. Where are you critical of this administration . Uncritical with the Biden Administration because they do not want to declare a Climate Emergency. ■s excuse me. Excuse me. Excuse me, mr. President will you guys be declaring a Climate Emergency . Because our people are dying and approve fossil fuel projects. I have already declared a Climate Emergency, so please sit down. You always say you want to disturb things. Can we do it properly . This is a government. Can we act civilly here . You refer to the Climate Crisis as an emergency but have failed to actthe national emergd declare a Climate Emergency to allow key authorities to take action in an everwarming planet we have already made bold Climate Action by implementing the Inflation Reduction Act. It has been a huge investmt r americans to have clean energy jobs, and we are working together with other governments to have a sustainable future. You cannot get rid of us. We young people are the ones ths in the Climate Crisis. If you dont declare a Climate Emergency, we are going to be all in trouble. Do young people know even how to debate these days . We have to come together as one. Can you believe disturbing the future . Nt dont they know theres better ways to protest . With you. I have to agree with the youth climate activist that was escorted out. Many young people are the ones who are going to bear the future of Climate Crisis when you look at our party, many of them have received a large amount of funding from fossil fuel industries. For decades, strategists have been saying the Climate Crisis will get worse, and it will cost the American Economy billions of dollars. When you tell young people to demand action, isnt this the place that they should be . Here are different ways to talk policies, but we dont have time, and the people in power right now like biden and other people need to step up and to action despite the controversial beliefs of different people around the world. I cant believe yoare saying that. Screaming and chanting is not going to create change. ■4 enough. Theres a time and place for everything and we will continue to work togethero ergency. At a meeting. For those voters that care about the climate, that issue is at the top of their list. Do you think the Biden Administration gets their vote again in 2024 . If so, why . What has he done that environmentalists like . I think within the environmental community, its a split between half yesndno. For environmentalists, we tried to really include an intersectional view of how we are advocating for the future safety, for humanity, all livelihoods. I think when it comes to ensuring the future climate legislation, i think the major concern is the leasing of new gas and oil permits are even use of public lands. I think thats a huge thingthag to happen in the future. I think with the lng project, it was not that all the projects being built are halted. Adjustment that the new permits that were being issued are temporarily until Environmental Testing can be done. In my view, we are developing a climate economy where we see E Development of time in a car that is happening, but i think that needs to be accelerated at a faster rate, knowing the fact that Many Americans worried of finding a good, paying job, especially workingclass or middleclass americans that are currently struggling■been goin. Young voters on tiktok who care about the environment, what is your prediction on the enthusiasm level for a second term for joe biden . I think with young people, we kind of are like eh in the sense that hes not your first choice is not my first choice, either, but i do think that realistically, it seems as if we are repeating 2020 again where its like, we will see progress. I know we will see a lot of things, but i do think that 2024 is unique because i chunk of voters who supported him, even though they did not like him, are actually on the fence now. I would say that from 2020, 20 24, im kind of in the position where its like itnt to vote fl vote for him, and that just represents that im willing to have more conversations with the Bidenharris Administration for them to improve, but i think the messaging around the campaign right now is very focused on to for america that allow us toions reimagine or redesign this democracy rather than trying to push out this new mist this doomist narrative of if that candidate wins, we are in trouble. I dont think gen z loves that narrative. What role would you say you are playing on digital platforms in this Campaign Election . Im not really out here are necessarily attempting to influence the election. Its rely not my job. My goal right now is to inform anybody voters, nonvoters, literally anybody that will watch, the importance of stories that are not getting pushed out in major news outlets. My platform focuses on stories you would not get when you turn on mainstream cab news, and we know that played a large role under reported stories in the 2020 election. While im not necessarily out here with the intent toac[t 2020 election, im reporting on stories that do not get covered and that is still important. What impact did it have less with the New York Post does quote post story about Hunter Bidens laptop, there are a lot of people in georgia that would not have cast their vote for joe biden had they known what was going on with hunter biden. The fact that it was centered on twitter, tiktok, etc. , its important to talk about those things so people and voters have ■cfull scope of who they are voting for. What platforms are you on, and who is your audience . Im on all different types of platforms. I do tiktok, instagram, twitter x, whatever you call it. My followers are interested in hearing stories they dons. Men believed to be mexican cart in footage wearing body armor and crossing the southern border into texas just unimpeded. Where are the guncontrol activists now . Its not ok for average american citizens to have their second america their Second Amendment right, but the cartel comes in, coming over, welcome to the country. Massachusetts is barring a catholic couple from fostering children because their faith is considered not supported to the lgbtqia plus kids they may foster. A new report on an investigation into b influence peddling, and they have uncovered over 20 million in payments from foreign sources from the biden family and their ■÷business associates. , mike oh, my god. A disney partnered with a gender fluid influence or to market girls close to little girls. Disney partnered with tiktok influencer sean who identifies as gender fluid, to market little girls attire on social media. The American Academy of pediatrics, which is the largest Pediatric Association in the nation, announced it will begin a review of its current gender affirming care model. Let me know in the comments if you are hopeful that we will see change. My demographic is primarily the ages of 18 to 25. Is important because those are people who are turning away from traditional cable news. They are not watching what 60earold vote are watching. Its important they are still getting the same clear information from a journalist, but also they like to be entertained. Part of that is making journalism fun and interesting to people so they are entertained, not squirreling away because we know the Attention Span of the average american right now is what . Six seconds . I myself have trouble with that as well. On that you believe are not being reported on in Mainstream Media . I talk about a lot of things. One of the most difficult thingr earnestly is the issue of transgender, not necessarily talkingake, that a decision about how they would like to identify, but how it is being thrust on people via the government institutions. I also think its reallyk abouth transition or scum of the importance of things they have gone through. It really does not get talked a lotam media, so i tried to highlight a lot of those stories in my reporting as well. How would you describe your political philosophy . Unconservative, definitely right of center, but im conservative, definitely right of center, but i think i align myself with a lot of independents in that i dont vote for just one party. I have registered as a democrat, all the different states i have lived in. I definitely lead lean towards the right, but i vote on principles that i feel if up to those principles i will vote for them, but there is no one one party that perfectly encapsulates my ideology. It is reallycampaign. What issues are you focusing on . Have you endorsed a candidate, and what issues are you focusing on for thisction cycle . I dont endorse candidates. Thats really not my job. My role is to be a journalist, and im happy to be open about the fact that i have a bias. Eileen a certain way. I think that is important for all journalists to do, but i dont necessarily route for one individual candidate or necessarily against one individual candidate. I represent peoples opinions on policy issues, so i might come across to the layman as maybe protrump or antibiden, but thats not my intention. My intention is to be very clear that i agree with trumps policies eight out of 10 times. I agree with do i agree with the way he delivers it . Not necessarily. I may agree with the way biden delivers it but not necessarily has policies. It is a difficult, tricky thing to get done in, say, one minute and 30c■a seconds when you are attempting to get a lot of information out in a short period of time. Are you talking about the constraints of the platforms that you are using . Yeah, i mean, ofideos where u can ramble on for an hour i do live streams that last an hour but those never seem to get nearly as many streams as a 32nd video 30second video where i literally say a news pr. Those videos get millions of of clicks do a report on the nuances and balances in politics and those seem to get no traction. Its interesting that you need to make things superquick and concise, and its not necessarily the platform that i want to use. Its the way people consume news. Sounds like the process for putting yourselves together, your process, how do you go about producing what you are across these different platforms . Its so its a blast. I started just taking my cell phone and literally sitting theret; and editing it on the tiktok platform. Thats how it started, and now im sitting here in a studio. The process really is finding storie have rarely heard. Reading mainstream news sourceg my followers has not necessarily been reported on by mainstream news outlets. I go through the whole process is,ding the news, figuring out what is being talked about, what is not being talked about, more importantly, and kind of put together a whole organizati for the day of what i would like to do with those stories, how i commentate on them, record it. I do all the editing myself, and i posted on social platforms, and people look is something thd to get in their inbox every day. Last, and look at our coverage from plano, texas, where independent president ial candidate cornell west was meeting with voters. We human beings, we are a wretched species too often. Much of our history is a history of organized greed and institutionalized hatred, and routinized indifference to the suffering back to the beginning. And yet this potential. If we so choose, as wretched wonderful, to be visionary, be committed to love, be committed to justice■o■, the possibility of interruptions, the possibility of disruptions of the history of greed and hatred and domination■v and occupation and subjugation and liquidation. Thats what we are here tonight to talk about. How do we become more fortifiedd greed, institutional hatred, and routinized indifference . ■ . 2024 was a very litmus test of someen of morality in an overwhelming moment of barbarity. The fundamental criteria of what it means to have some morality and spirituality, not just in america but in the world, and if you are silent on that, sham■von you. Shame on you. When we look around, not just generation, even though the Younger Generation is playing a very important part the way you look around of who is urging men and women to straighten their backs up, not in the name of hatred and revenge, but the name love and justice, that we stand with our palestinian brothers and sisters in gaza how come . Because we love palestinianswx d we believe a palestinian baby has exactly the same value or significance as any baby in the world, no matter what color, no matter what gender, if its texas, gaza, sudan, ethiopia, eritrea, guatess the board. [applause] yes, yes indeed. I see my dear brother david oh, just wait. Give it up for my dear brother and his magnificent wife. We go back 35 years. I was blessed to write books with him. We got so many memories together. Magnificent spiritual renaissance, magnificent political awakening with jewish voices of peace, and if not now. Wave of jewish brothers doing what . Deciding to choose integrity and decency and courage. Itwhat your religious identity. No, not at all. Just like it was never a question of skin treatment patients for black people. I support resiance i support resilience, but that resistance and that resilience has to have a morality and a spirituality. You dont kill innocents or babies. I dontif you are going to figh, find fight a war against combatants. Oh, brother west, you are so old school. Thats right. I am old school. I will fight, but most importantly, i will always stand in solidarity with those who are oppressed. It takes a variety of forms. Sometimes its violence, sometimes its nonviolence. Absolutely, but there has to be a morality even among the oppressed. There has to be a spirituality even of the oppressed. As we engage in our discourse, that lets not in any way sigangsters who would use mility force against innocent folks day in and day out and then the cowards in the white house, in the united nations, and in congress. A lot of people are asking, you run for president and you call the president a war criminal. I said yeah, thats me. [laughter] i dont hate biden. Pray for his family. You have to take responsibility for your actions. You tell iran that1arms to otheu are fully responsible for providing arms for genocide and ethnic cleansing and supporting apartheid and acting as if its the vision of democracy. Wheres t morality . Wheres the spirituality . Folks ought to be full of righteous indignation, but that righteous indignation cannot simply be symbolic. We have to be willing not just to speak truth to power, not just to the relatively powerless, youve got to be willing to speak the truth to ourselves. Is very outspoken. Its fun to be here. You all. Im blessed to be here, i tell you that. Im blessed to be here. Thank you, thank you, thank you. Ernible] quotes we are going to finish up. Do you remember me . Let me go finish rightclick.
