Summary

American taxpayers may have flown Donald Trump to the Middle East, but he's not there to negotiate on behalf of our strategic or national interests—he's on the prowl for goodies, and happy to make policy changes in return. Like, the new Syrian president offering a Trump Tower in Damascus: Zap, sanctions on Syria are over. Or the jumbo jet-giving Qataris requesting that Trump go 'easy' on Iran: 'Not a problem, no sirree.' Sorry to all the hawkish Trump voters out there who thought he'd deliver a maximum pressure campaign on Tehran. Plus, Russia's Potemkin peace talks with Ukraine, and another installment from ICE's cold-blooded deportation campaign.

1:01.5

that at least we know that these people that we've disappeared with no due process are still

living. She refused to do that in a bout as grotesque a way as imaginable, though it's

1:13.3

about what you would expect from our Secretary of Homeland Security. So we want to make sure we're

1:17.6

bringing attention to this, making sure that it is not lost, that it's not forgotten. And we want to
