    ZELDIN: "And in no way, shape, or form in either the readouts from the United States or Ukraine did you receive any indication whatsoever for anything that resembles a quid pro quo?" VOLKER: "Correct."

    🤔 Volker: "You asked what conversations did I have about that quid pro quo, et cetera. None, because I didn't know that there was a quid pro quo." ... "I believe he [Taylor] was asking this based on the Politico article. And I discussed with him that there is no linkage here."

    Sonderland addendum isn't as clear as headlines suggest. “I said that resumption of the U.S. aid would *likely* not occur until Ukraine provided the public anticorruption statement..." "I did not know (and still do not know) when, *why*, or by whom the aid was suspended."

    In other words, he's offering his opinion to the Ukrainians about what could be going on behind the scenes. That's a very different thing from carrying a message to Kiev from Trump or Rudy, saying X is tied to Y. This is smoke. There may be fire somewhere, but this isn't it.

    This is the definition of a "forever war." Think fighting over oil is vicious, expensive and never-ending? Try fighting over heroin and cocaine.

    This is the time for Mexico, with the help of the United States, to wage WAR on the drug cartels and wipe them off the face of the earth. We merely await a call from your great new president!

    Every spelling error creates an extra media cycle, and its ripples are a force-multiplier on the substance of what he's trying to say. This is a feature, not a bug, and media stories about the typos themselves play right into his hands. Showing the typos = repeating the message.

    The main point I made about this on air: Everybody makes spelling mistakes. But Trump makes a LOT more of them than most public figures. It's not the biggest thing in the world, but it still matters. Accuracy always matters...

    Supporters at Trump rally wearing "Read The Transcript" t-shirts - which is what repeatedly demands to make the case that there was no "quid pro quo" in his phone call with Ukraine's Pres Zelensky, the focus of the House impeachment inquiry.

    FAA has also issued a VIP movement notice for New York City this weekend. Keeping us guessing.

    President Trump is currently expected to attend the Alabama-LSU game this Saturday, I'm told. No word on my whereabouts yet but stay tuned.

    Michael D'Antonio got a hell of a lot of mileage out of that book.

    Trump's seat at the MMA fight was close enough to hear the kicks land and the thuds of the bodies hitting the floor. "If there's blood that's spilled and it's not his, it's thrilling to him." ⁦⁩

    Waldman and other Pence aides were gushing about her engagement yesterday on AF2. I purposely left it out of my press pool reports. Women deserve to tell the world about these things in a manner (and at a time) of their choosing. Congrats to them.

    Pence aide Katie Waldman and Trump aide Stephen Miller are engaged.

    Kinda hard to reconcile socialism with Matthew 25:14-30.

    Overheard in the crowd at today’s first event, a town hall at a church in Waterloo, IA: “Jesus was definitely a socialist.” “Yeah, it’s, like, not even close.”
