But first, Donald Trump Jr. reached a last-minute deal with the Republican-controlled Senate Intelligence Committee Monday, agreeing to speak with top lawmakers in June over his meeting with Russian nationals during the 2016 campaign. The president's eldest son is the first of Trump's children to be issued a subpoena. A new report on the nation's finances show

America's ten largest cities, traditionally democratic strongholds, are currently drowning in debt. In New York City, the estimated taxpayer burden is more than $85,000 per resident.

Controversial Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio Cortez criticizing Democratic front-ruder Joe Biden's middle-of-the-road approach when it comes to climate change, saying his moderate proposal is a, quote, deal breaker. The former vice president dismissing the criticism telling progressive Democrats to, quote, calm down on global. global warming. To the campaign trail where socialist Senator Bernie Sanders is losing support from

his key demographic group, young voters. New polls show the far-left lawmaker dropping among Democrats age 18 to 29, an important group that helped carry Sanders to second place against Hillary Clinton just a few years ago. After years of contentious debate, the Alabama Senate voted overwhelmingly Tuesday to pass the strictest pro-life regulations in decades. If signed by the governor, and it should be, the new law makes most abortions felonies in Alabama. Any doctor who performs a procedure could face up to 99 years in prison.

It's fair to say that many Americans generally have low opinions of politicians, and here's a vivid reason why. Fox News was kind enough to invite Senator Elizabeth Warren to do a town hall with them. That would mean an hour, at least, of free airtime for the presidential candidate. But instead of being gracious about the invitation, Senator Warren turned vitriolic, saying on Instagram, quote, Fox News is welcome to come to my events, just like any other outlet, but a Fox News Town Hall adds money to the hate-for-profit machine, to which I say hard pass, unquote. Of course, Warren has no problem appearing on CNN and MSNBC, which hate President Trump with an intensity

never before seen in the national news arena. Or am I wrong? So it would seem as if Senator Warren is being hypocritical. Elizabeth Warren has no chance to be president for a variety of reasons. She is a far-left zealot, not a public servant who selectively condemns certain people and organizations. If she really cared about social discourse and eliminating political hatred, she would not hate on Fox. would she? So all Americans should take a hard pass on phony politicians who seek to divide the electorate. Senator Warren is looking out for Senator Warren, not for the country. Now, as far as a political hatred is concerned, it is absolutely wrong. The one valid point that Warren has is that some are making money peddling hatred. Cable ratings without Donald Trump,

for the news channels would be insignificant. Donald Trump drives all three cable networks, Fox, MSNBC, and CNN. The latter two despise the president. Fox News much more generous toward him, but all are making money with an anti or pro-Trump posture. Same thing on late night TV. Two out of the three hosts hate President Trump.

And every night, that's what you get. Jimmy Fallon on NBC, he's not quite as adamant on the Trump front. But remember Johnny Carson and even Jay Leno to some extent. They did not traffic in politics. Carson dominated for years, sometimes bringing in 10 million viewers per night. Now, late-night TV shows are lucky if they get 3 million viewers. Saturday Night Live this season devoted most of its first skits to bashing Trump. At first, it worked, but in the end, Saturday Night Live's ratings went down.

If you look at the bestseller list for books, there are many anti-Trump books and some pro-Trump books, but they're all making money off Donald Trump. so my advice to everybody in the media is put a lid on it would you my new book out in september the united states of trump has no hatred in it it's a history that will be interesting to see how it is received we'll have more analysis on bill o'reilly dot com where you can see me below v8 I hope you'd check that out.

Colorado was the first state to legalize recreational marijuana on back in 2012. This week, the state's Department of Revenue reported that stores sold more than $114 million of pot just in the month of March. That beats the previous record of 112 million back in August of last year. Now, Colorado is one of 10 states who have legalized a recreational drought. Several more are set to take up similar legislation in the coming months. While legalization

has clearly boosted revenue in states like Colorado, it is important to remember that it comes with a price, pardon the pot. Although marijuana advocates claim that legalization will end the black market for the drug, illegal sales of pot remain a problem in Colorado. According to a report from the Department of Public Safety, felony marijuana cases for crimes like conspiracy, distribution and possession, actually increased from 2015 through 17. The same report shows that organized crime cases involving marijuana have also increased significantly since 2014. That's because street pot is cheaper than store pot because of the taxes. Legalization has also affected young people. According to a recent study, Colorado's

youth marijuana use is the highest in the nation, seven, 74% greater than the national average. 74%. Talk about Rocky Mountain High. That has had a profound impact on the state schools. Colorado reporting that during the 2016-17 school year, marijuana was responsible for more than one in five expulsions and law enforcement referrals.

Pot is the most commonly used illicit drug in the USA. But we still know very little about the effects of chronic use. Studies have linked it to depression, anxiety, and psychotic-like experiences in teenage users. With so many unknowns, the wholesale legalization of recreational marijuana is one of the greatest social experiments in our nation's history. And it may well be something we'll come to regret.
