Actually, we do have this, and to up the ante in terms of trying to intimidate police officers and their staff. we now know that half of northern ireland s police officers have inquired through the police federation that represents rank and file officers about potential damages. with more than 10,000 people involved, a potential compensation bill could run into tens of millions of pounds. today, the federation urged all police officers and staff to exercise maximum vigilance. these days, it may seem as though we are constantly being flooded by an endless avalanche of bad news. well, we feel it here as well in this newsroom as well ? which is why this week, we are rolling out a series looking at something a little more positive. we ll be chatting with everyday people who are tackling big problems. they have seen in their various communities. and today, we have christina
Boy george: do you really want to hurt me? is a good song. it s a song that old people like and young people like. so i think the proof is in the pudding. buy it and eat it. majewski: mtv actually met with duran duran s managers and said, we re looking for kind of like james bond videos, on location, and their managers are the ones that went to the band members and said, look, we really need to up the ante with these clips. we need to give this channel something they ve never seen before. moving on the floor now, babe you re a bird of paradise man: there are some that have accused your videos of being soft porn. well, excuuuuse me! [ laughter ] we like to call them tastefully smutty. her name is rio and she dances on the sand just like that river twisting through the dusty land
Reality, simone. i do want to talk to you about hunter biden and how the republican candidates are of course easing on the news that he s going to be investigated by special counsel, the same person who s been investigating it for the last five years. this is going to be a campaign issue. what do democrats, what does biden do about? it it is going to come up. that s, far they have not wanted to weigh in on either special councils. the one trump is dealing with, or the one that joe biden s son is going to have to deal with. i kind of wonder what you think will have to happen now. alex, look, i think that especially now that a special counsel has been appointed in the hunter biden case, i think this just upped the ante, we will not hear from president biden on this. except for maybe an interview where he is pressed, and even at the interviewer will have to decide if they will go back when he is giving the same answer, i think the place where we are going to see this really unfold is next year on the debate stage where joe biden is
The hunter biden case, i think this just upped the ante, we will not hear from president biden on this. except for maybe an interview where he is pressed, and even at the interviewer will have to decide if they will go back when he is giving the same answer, i think the place where we are going to see this really unfold is next year on the debate stage where joe biden is standing on a stage with the republican nominee for president and that is where i think this will at most come to a head. apart from, that there is not a venue, if you will, that president biden will be present in where he will be pressed. he said in an interview he will get the answer he s always given, the interviewer decided to press for more. symone, i ve gotta ask, you i was talking to clear mccaskill about this last night. i think there are some democrats that want biden to say something, to be more aggressive, be more incredulous about the treatment that his son is getting.
Asks for $24 billion in more aid with very few successes in hand. and comes as even zelenskyy admits that the counteroffensive hasn t exactly gone the way that they had hoped. at least not yet. thank you, salma. this could be a more active hurricane season in the atlantic than officials initially predicted. a new forecast just came down from tnoaa. derek van dam has a break down. it is a battle between the record ocean temperatures that help fuel stronger hurricanes versus a strong el nino that helps limit hurricane activity. just yesterday the national oceanic atmospheric administration upped the ante and increased the likelihood of an above average hurks sricane season. you can see after already having four named storms, any are
Justice system, is it equipped to handle a divest like donald trump who has a massive platform and as we all know a history of spoking violence? certainly hope so, but it s never face add threat like this. it has never face add challenge like this. again, we use the word unprecedented too much but this is unprecedenteded to have a former president of the united states being locust of all of this. we know how he s going to behave. in many ways feels he is baiting the judges. baiting prosecutors. upping the ante on all this. we are tested pt a massive stress test for the political system and the judicial system and to your point. what a moment we are in now. i was listening to frank thinking how many years after 9/11 the major threat to the country was international terrorism. islamic extremist terrorism. now the greatest threat with
And on the abortion thing, you look at ron desantis, for example, he had a winning position. and a 15-week ban. say what you want about the merits of that policy, he had a winning position on a 15-week ban. and he got pushed to the right by this tiny, losing base to change that, to up the ante to the primary to a six-week ban. it s not helping him politically, as we can see, and it s not helping the party politically, but that is where the incentives are right now, you know, in a republican primary. so it worked in 16, mika, but again, the whole hand on the hot stove deal, 2017, 2018, 2019, yikes. 2020, do i have to keep going? 2021, 2022. at what point do you figure out
Trump is absolutely correct. his twitter does not exist in a vacuum, right? it is a powerful tool and then there is an entire echo chamber that is there to up the ante. i m feeling post traumatic stress syndrome from having watched all of that. i know. one of the things that jack smith did was he didn t go down the path of the select committee in terms of using trump s speech as a form of incitement. i would argue his speech is not protected because it led directly to violence, which contradicts everything that those folks are saying. but smith was careful not to do that in his indictment. in fact, in the third paragraph of his indictment, he says trump s lies and fraud are protected by the first amendment. what is not protected is using those as the basis for phony electoral scheme and to obstruct the proceedings of the
