Again. And good evening, welcome to politicsnation. Tonights lead, up close and personal. Right now, im reflecting on my exclusive interview this week with Vice President Kamala Harris who i joined at the white house this week ahead of two events. The 60th Anniversary of the March On Washington, which i will be leading with ronald came the third and his beautiful active wife that on august 26th i will be meeting with them as head of National Action network.

Welcome back to the weekend. We start the hour with possibilities for donald trump. Just hours after posting a 91 million bond that does allow the defamation of e. Jean carroll. He may have defamed e. Jean carroll again. Too listen to what he just said said. I just posted a 91 million on a fake story, totally made up story. Think of it. none million.

Have missed. January 6th was a disgrace. American citizens attacked their own government. They used terrorism to try and stop us, specific piece of Domestic Business they did not like. Fellow americans beat and bloodied our own police. They stormed the center floor. They tried to hunt down the speaker of the house.

The one thing we cut off there, maybe its not fair is right after that, he broke into a rousing tune. Happy days are here again. It was like the 32 convention. I couldnt believe it. But yeah. A little discordant, song didnt go with the message. But you know, thats mitch. Mitch mcconnell there, that was in 2021. It was a month after j
