President Trump doesn't think Europe can bring an end to
the Iran Israeli conflict. Speaking from New Jersey today, he
threw cold water on the meeting today in Geneva between
Iran's foreign minister and top diplomats from Britain, France, and Germany.
The President said Europe won't be able to help. Trump
said he hopes people come to their senses soon. He
went on to contradict his own intelligence communities claims about
Iran's nuclear capabilities, saying they can develop a bomb much

a chance and decide within two weeks if the US
will enter the conflict. Mack Bood Khalil is free after
walking out of an immigration detention center in Louisiana. A

of a number of students who ended up being taken
into custody over pro Palestinian protests as a legal permanent resident,
and was the last high profile demonstrator held in detention.

law enforcement to do their job. It is necessary to
protect them and to defend them. Speaking in La Friday,
Vance said California National Guard troops and the Marines were
just enforcing the law when they faced off with rioters
during anti ice protests. He claimed the Friday before the
Guard troops arrived, that law enforcement officers were being captured

(01:33):
and beaten by violent mobs, and it was necessary to
deploy troops to stop that from happening. The Supreme Court
is rejecting a REQUESTUS beat up a challenge to tariffs
