President Biden is hosting French President Emmanuel Macron.

at a White House dinner tonight. The French leader is using his visit to Washington in part to criticize aspects of his ally's signature climate law as a bad deal for Europe. The presidents are holding talks in the Oval Office that officials say will largely center on efforts to stay united in their response to Russia's war in Ukraine and to coordinate their approach to an increasingly assertive China.

France is our oldest ally, our unwavering partner, and freedom's cause. From the spirit of Marcus Lafayette, who helped secure the success of our revolution, to the sacrifice of American GIs, who stormed to the beaches of Normandy. Our history has been shaped by the courage

of the women and men who crossed the Atlantic, carrying within their hearts of flame of liberty.

They have to do everything I could. to protect my assembly.

When the stakes were this high, doesn't it make more sense to hear our story from us? The couple reportedly earned over $100 million for their participation in the series. The release of the trailer coincides with the first day of Princess Kate and Prince William's landmark U.S. tour. Meanwhile, Prince William and Princess Kate

made an appearance at the Boston Celtics basketball game Wednesday night, but interim head coach Joe Mazzella was less than impressed with the royal visit. A non-basketball question. Did you get a chance to meet with the royal family? And if not, how was it like having them there in the building? Jesus, Mary, and Joseph? The Prince and Princess of Wales.

Oh, no, I did not. I'm only familiar with one royal family. I don't know too much about that one. Thank you. But I'm glad they're hopefully, they're Celtic fans.
