TRUMP STATEMENT ON VIEW ALL PREVENTING MUSLIM IMMIGRATION STATEMENTS (New York, NY) December 7th, 2015, -- Donald J. Trump is calling for a total and complete shutdown of Muslims entering the United States until our country's ANNOUNCEMENTS representatives can figure out what is going on. According to Pew Research, ENDORSEMENTS among others, there is great hatred towards Americans by large segments of the Muslim population. Most recently, a poll from the Center for Security ADS Policy released data showing "25% of those polled agreed that violence against Americans here in the United States is justified as a part of the global jihad" and 51% of those polled, "agreed that Muslims in America should have the choice of being governed according to Shariah."

  • Quotes About the Speech
    Quotes about the Speech When his campaign was in peril because of his ties to Rev. Wright, Barack Obama made that remarkable speech about race and his own journey, and his relationship with Wright in Philadelphia. That held his campaign together; a very key moment. ~George Stephanopoulos, ABC News [The] best speech ever given on race in this country. This is the kind of speech I think first graders should see, people in the last year of college should see before they go out in the world. This should be, to me, an American tract. ~Chris Matthews, MSNBC Obama challenged Americans to confront the country’s racial divide…an extraordinary speech. ~Charles Gibson, ABC News Quietly, but clearly with great passion, he walked the listener through a remarkable exploration of race from both sides of the color divide, both sides of himself. ~ Campbell Brown, CNN [T]the best speech and most important speech on race that we have heard as a nation since Martin Luther King's ‘I Have a Dream’ speech. ~Michelle Bernard, MSNBC Barack Obama didn't simply touch the touchiest subject in America, he grabbed it and turned it over and examined it from several different angles and made it personal. Just steps from Independence Hall in Philadelphia, he rang the bell hard and well. ~Jonathan Alter, Newsweek In a speech whose frankness about race many historians said could be likened only to speeches by Presidents Lyndon B. Johnson, John F. Kennedy and Abraham Lincoln, Senator Barack Obama, speaking across the street from where the Constitution was written, traced the country’s race problem back to not simply the country’s ‘original sin of slavery’ but the protections for it embedded in the Constitution.

Accuracy is not guaranteed. In case of doubt, please check with FACE THE NATION - CBS NEWS (202) 457-4481 TRANSCRIPT BOB SCHIEFFER: Today on FACE THE NATION, who is Michele Bachmann and why does she want to be President. Critics had dismissed her as a religious zealot and a shoot from the hip extremist. But the conservative journal Weekly Standard puts her on the cover this week and calls her Queen of the Tea Party. And the poll out this morning shows that she and Mitt Romney have a big lead over the other Republican candidates in Iowa. That after rave reviews in the first campaign debate in New Hampshire. REPRESENTATIVE MICHELE BACHMANN (R-Minnesota/Republican Presidential Candidate): President Obama is a one-term President. BOB SCHIEFFER: So how broad is her appeal? Tomorrow in Iowa, she announces officially that she’s running for the Republican nomination. Today, she’s in our studio to tell us how and why she is doing. It’s all ahead on FACE THE NATION. ANNOUNCER: FACE THE NATION with CBS News chief Washington correspondent Bob Schieffer. And now from Washington, Bob Schieffer. BOB SCHIEFFER: And good morning again and welcome to FACE THE NATION.

  • Chris Matthews: Ready to Play Hardball in PA May 2, 2008 by Dr
    Chris Matthews: Ready to Play Hardball in PA May 2, 2008 by Dr. G. Terry Madonna and Dr. Michael Young Now no longer the center ring for the traveling Democratic presidential nomination circus, Pennsylvania’s inventive political community has discovered a new favorite political parlor game to while away the brisk springtime evenings: will Chris Matthews, the irrepressible host of MSNBC’s Hardball, step down from his pundits perch to run for the US Senate against Arlen Specter in 2010? To a remarkable degree, speculation abounds over this possibility in the Keystone State. The indications that Matthews will run are abundant. His MSNBC contract runs out next summer, and both he and the network show signs they might be ready for a break from each other. In addition, journalists are reporting that Matthews has been seeking advice privately from key Democrats across the state about his chances against Specter. Reportedly these contacts have included discussion with Governor Rendell concerning campaign resources. Publicly Matthews has done little to disguise his interest in the race. Asked if he was running on a recent Colbert cable show, Matthews said this: "Did you ever want to be something your whole life…? When you grow up, some kids want to be a fireman. I want to be a Senator….There’s a difference between being a celebrity and working for the people. And it’s a greater thing to work for the people than being on television." If Matthews does run he will not be a stranger either to Pennsylvania or to politics. Born and raised in Philadelphia, he ran and lost a quixotic bid for Congress in 1974.

  • FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE News Release [email protected] Maria Zack 770-318-3868 America Needs a Leader Who Speaks With
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE News Release [email protected] Maria Zack 770-318-3868 America Needs a Leader Who Speaks With Clarity GOP front runner Donald Trump has made yet another round of outrageous comments that were subsequently walked back by his campaign staff. Given Mr. Trump's highly volatile personality and outspoken nature, it is highly doubtful that a President Trump would be any more apt to speak with clarity when commanding our military, standing with our allies or leading the free world by example. The most recent comments to be dialed back include Mr. Trump's assertion that there should be some form of punishment for women who have abortions. Trump spokesperson Katrina Pierson dismissed it the following day as "a complete misspeak," and Trump's son, Donald Jr., came to his father's defense claiming it was taken out of context. Trump himself had to admit that he may have misspoken. One of Trump's more popular positions is his strong stance on Syrian refugees, stating if he wins the presidency Syrian refugees "are going back." However, when asked by Bill O'Reilly in September if the U.S. should take in Syrian refugees, Mr. Trump's answer was simple - on a humanitarian basis "you have Illustration: Ramon Garcia / Stand for Principle to." Perhaps the most worrisome of all are the mind-boggling comments to the New York Times suggesting that both Japan and South Korea develop nuclear weapons in order to protect themselves, while at the same time claiming to be against nuclear proliferation. His comments sparked outrage around the world, including the aforementioned countries where they publicly denounced the comments and their desire to acquire nukes.
