Just watched your program. I missed the part when lawyers and the Democrats weaponized the
entire legal and just-us system. 5
cases all filed around the county,
at the same time was no accident
was it?
They are all crooks. The president too!
Great job Scott Pelley!! Keep doing your job!
So easy to spot bots in the comments because these same people were silent when Biden defied the Supreme Court on their student loan orders
Meanwhile…Donald Trump's dementia continues to get worse.
The Russian Collusion hoax bought and paid for by the Clinton Campaign via PC and its resulting first impeachment was a Coup. It’s treason. And until all are tried as traitors it will never end.
Fascinating how these “geniuses” gladly use the power of the legal system to further their own political agenda, but cry to the high heavens about the misuse of the “rule of law” when someone uses power against them…
🙄🙄🙄
Amazingly Absurd and Pathetic
60 minutes playing victim when they are actually the threat with their blatant election interference 🤷🏻♂️
Once the greatest news magazine has now spiraled downward into just another of the legacy media/liberal press propaganda arm of the Dem party. 60 minutes did their best to provide humorous Trump hit pieces in the months leading to the election in hopes of defeating Trump/Republicans. It backfired, and will continue to do so while they nonstop generate anti-Republican/pro-Dem lefty propaganda. At 63 years old I watched 60 Minutes religiously since I was in my teens, last night I watched the first 10 seconds, another of the endless Trump hit pieces began and I shut it off. I’m done with 60 minutes, I can turn on an MSNBC and watch that garbage 24/7, no thanks.
Where can I see full interview with Marc Ellias?!
gee, wonder who cut this off!
Why isn’t Traitorous Trump in prison already for his traitorous insurrection he should be there for the rest of his miserable life
60 minutes a far left rag and this guy is lying..Illegals dont not have constatutional rights..Citizens do..People lawyers have read this stateting illegals dont..But the dems keep pushing the lie and you fools out there keep believing it!!

ICYMI: Newsom Extends Free Healthcare to 700,000 Illegal Immigrants Despite Record Budget Deficit
On Monday, California became the first state to expand Medicaid to include all illegal immigrants residing in the state, flooding the state’s Medicaid program, Medi-Cal, with as many as 700,000 illegal immigrants despite a record $68 billion state budget deficit.
HOUSE BUDGET COMMITTEE
Current proposals made by these California Democrats total well over $100 billion all to fund Green New Deal initiatives and other left-wing programs.
Just like President Biden and his allies in Congress, this is yet another classic example of the never-ending cycle of Democrats overspending by asking taxpayers to shoulder their debt.
While Democrats focus nationwide on reckless spending, Republican governors and state legislatures are laser focused on economic growth. New data from the Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA) shows that the Republican approach is paying off.
According to BEA, earnings for workers and businesses in red states this year have increased significantly more than in blue states.
Exhibit A: Workers’ Paychecks in High-Tax Blue States are Lagging Behind the Nationwide Average
Per BEA, earnings in blue states are lagging the nationwide average of 5.4% in the first quarter of 2022 and 2023, including in places like New York (2.6%), California (2.9%), Connecticut (3.4%), Rhode Island (3.6%), Maryland (4%), New Jersey (4.3%), Oregon (4.5%), and Illinois (4.6%).
These blue states “boast high taxes and a high cost of living, which along with Covid-19 related lockdowns spurred increased out-migration during the pandemic,” according to the Wall Street Journal.
Exhibit B: Red States are Seeing Faster Wage Growth and More Job Creation
On the other hand, earnings have surged faster than the national average in red states throughout this same period, including in places like North Dakota (9.7%), Nebraska (8.6%), South Carolina (8%), Alaska (7.9%), and Texas (7.7%).
GOP-led states creating more jobs and attracting higher paying industries such as technology or finance, along with faster growing wages.

CBO Confirms: Biden’s Biggest Executive Actions Come with $532 Billion Price Tag
WASHINGTON, D.C. – House Budget Committee Republican Leader Jason Smith (MO-08) issued the following statement after the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) – in a response to a request from Smith – provided budgetary analysis of several executive actions taken by President Biden that combined will cost taxpayers $532* billion: “It turns out even with one-party Democrat control of Congress, President Biden has found a way to secretly spend hundreds of billions of dollars all by himself. With the stroke of a pen, President Biden has racked up at least $532 billion on the American taxpayers’ tab with zero input from their elected Representatives in Congress. Bizarrely, the same President Biden that has unilaterally and illegally refused to spend $1.4 billion in funding that was passed by bipartisan majorities in Congress to build a border wall to combat illegal immigration has at the same time spent over 375 times that amount on actions that Congress never authorized or appropriated. The enormous price tag speaks to how far President Biden wants to expand Washington command and control over education and health care while rolling back immigration enforcement. It is amazing that this is the same White House that continues to claim they are reducing the deficit.” CBO’s analysis provided the following cost projections for these Biden executive actions:
$300 billion for expanding welfare by enlarging the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefit
$34 billion for expanding Obamacare and enrolling more Americans in Washington-controlled health care plans
$85 billion for continuing a pandemic-era student loan payment moratorium benefitting higher income earners
$3 billion for canceling the student loan debts of 40,000 borrowers**
$20 billion for ending the Trump Administration’s public charge restrictions on immigration which protected taxpayers from awarding welfare benefits to immigrants
$11 billion cost to taxpayers from eliminating strengthened work requirements in SNAP for able-bodied adults without dependents***
$3 billion in additional Medicaid spending by prohibiting states from establishing work requirements in their Medicaid programs
$7 billion for raising the wages for federal contractors

That individual should face legal consequences for the significant funds squandered on his PS Crossfire investigation. It is essential to hold these individuals accountable.
The people at 60 Minutes should have retired 20 years ago and I am being nice.
This episode is just another example of 60 minutes pushing partisan politics as they lie to Americans or intentionally leave out facts to push the liberal progressive ideology of the Democrats! 60 minutes recently aired this highly partisan episode attacking Trump’s recent executive order on law firms! During this segment 60 minutes interviewed Mark Elias who stated that he “fights for free & fair elections”, but the show failed to mention that Elias was the architect of the fake Russian collusion steel dossier, which was the polar opposite of creating a fair election!
He is absolutely an atrocity… It is scary and totally un-American!
Judges and lawyers who behave like they are above the law should be held accountable. This is pure propaganda.
A felon is in the Whitehouse . The rule of law is an American joke. American democracy is gone.
Front line of this battle. Hopefully the Pen is mightier than the Sword. As I don't want this to go to the Sword.
