Moments later, King asked Lindsay Clancy juror Paula Devlin to divulge the *age* of the black male holdout juror… King: “Very fascinated by the holdout juror, learning he is a black man today. Can you just tell me his age? I am very curious.” Devlin: “I would guess in his 30s.” King: “Oh, younger.”

MORE: ABC’s Aaron Katersky says Clancy juror Nick Dargie told him “the juror never provided an explanation” for why Lindsay Clancy should be found guilty of murdering her three children, but “he and the other jurors he thinks will stay friends — aside from [the holdout] — because of what they went through” and “no one should have to hear the evidence that they heard” ever again

WATCH: President Trump’s full comments to CBS’s Nikole Killion about the war between Russia and Ukraine, arguing the land Russia has taken from Ukraine has gotten “bigger and bigger all the time, week by week,” and they have an “unlimited supply of people” to keep going, but not Ukraine.... “Russia would like to get it done. I think that — and you know, Russia is a big machine. They just keep grinding forward, and that’s what they’ve done. They’ve taken a very large piece of land, and, you know, you can say that Ukraine is doing well or poorly, but the land gets bigger and bigger all the time, week by week. It — just —they march forward. They just keep marching forward. They have an unlimited supply of people, whereas Ukraine, as you know, is — there’s a woman who’s, I guess, not exactly a very beautiful woman, nice woman, and she is on television recently talking about the fact that our men are gone. She’s a Ukrainian woman. Our men are gone. They’re lost. They’re dead. They’re in mental institutions. They’re walking around. They have no arms. They have no legs. In many cases, they’ve been hurt so badly; they’ve been just decimated, and it was very poignant. When I heard this, I said, boy, that’s some statement. And she said, Russia is a very big country. They can lose a lot of people in a war, and they have lost a lot of people. They lost 50 million people in the Second World War. They lose a lot of people, but they’re very big, and she said they have to settle this war. Look, Ukraine has lost a lot of people. Russia has lost a lot of people. Russia, though, is a giant nation. Ukraine is not. I can tell you this. We’ve been helping through Joe Biden originally, and he made a mistake because he should have done it through the European Union, and he should have been paid. European Union has quite a bit of money, although I have to tell you, they’re getting tired of spending it. But we gave $350 billion to Ukraine.” “And, you know, I insisted on getting something for that money, and we got a very big chunk of land in rare Earth and other things, if anybody remembers. Let’s see what that amounts to, but Ukraine has to want to settle this war. Zelenskyy has to want to settle this war, and if he doesn’t, I think it’s going to be a very bad thing. Look, we have given tremendous amounts to Ukraine. We’ve got nothing back other than high diesel. We have — we have given probably possibly more money to Ukraine than almost anybody over the years. Hundreds of billions of dollars. We’ve gotten nothing back, and the American taxpayers are tired of it. We want Zelenskyy to make a deal. He can make a deal. He could have made a deal two years ago when we had our little chat in the Oval Office. We had a now quite well-remembered chat with JD, myself, some others. Zelenskyy could have made a good deal then, could have made a much better deal then probably, possibly, than he could make now, but he’s going to have to want to make a deal, because I don’t think his people are going to stand for it any longer. They’ve been fighting a war. So, last month they lost 32,000 people between the both of them. They’re mostly soldiers, mostly young soldiers, some people in a town that got hit or whatever, but mostly young soldiers. It doesn’t affect us much. It doesn’t affect us in theory at all. We’re not involved. What affects me is to see that many souls lost so needlessly, so what I’d like to see is I’d like to make a deal.” “I’d like to see if they can make a deal. I thought, you know, I settled eight wars. I thought that would be the easiest one. The hatred between President Putin and President Zelensky is tremendous. I think that’s most of the reason they haven’t been able to make a deal, actually. But Ukraine has to want to make a deal because the United States has spent a fortune. Europe has spent a fortune. Europe is tired of it right now. They’re tired of it right now, and if they don’t make a deal, ultimately, it’s just going to get, in my opinion, it’s just really just going to get worse. You have a very big country in Russia. They have a lot of people. They have a lot of people to draw from. Ukraine does not have a lot of people to draw from, and it’s time to make a deal, and I say that — remember this though: We’ve given a lot to Ukraine. We’ve gotten absolutely nothing back except grief, death, tremendous monetary loss.” “We’ve given incredible amounts of equipment, and military, primarily military equipment, but equipment of all kinds, and it’s time. I gave them javelins. When the stupid general for Russia — very stupid gentlemen — they had 1000 tanks riding up a concrete highway. They would have been in Ukraine in four hours going maximum tank speed — which is 48 miles an hour to be exact — nothing to stop them. The war would have been over in one day, and this very stupid general — I have no idea who he is. I doubt he’s still with us. I doubt he’s still living. He decided to hang a right onto the farmland and then take a left and go up to Kyiv, and rather than staying on the highway — the concrete highway, perfectly good highway where they were doing very nicely, would have been there in three and a half, four hours, and the whole war would have ended. He ended up getting stuck in the mud. It was like quicksand. They had — the night before, they had the heaviest rainfall they’ve had in ten years, and the land was soaking wet. It was like quicksand. This — I — most people don’t remember, but I do because it’s called war. You never know what happens. But he made a terrible decision, a legendarily bad decision. And the tanks got stuck. They couldn’t go forward. They couldn’t go back. They were dead, stuck, and they used the javelins. That’s the anti-tank weapon that I gave them. So, you know, the — the statement is Obama gave him sheets. I gave him javelins. So, I’ve helped Ukraine a lot, but it’s now time for them to end this war and stop all those young people from being killed.”

.Daily Signal’s Elizabeth Troutman Mitchell: “You said the U.S. could leave Europe if this type of violence continues, what would that look like?...You said the U.S. could leave Europe if the violence proceeds —” Trump: “Leave it. Yeah.” Mitchell: “— what would that look like?” Trump: “Well, I mean, it’s — Europe has to straighten out their act, so I called the various countries in Europe. And, as you know, we’re doing very well with Iran. We just have to make a final decision of which way do we want to win? Do we want to win the nice way or the not nice way? But we’re doing very well. We don’t need any help. But I was testing them. I just called individual presidents and prime ministers to ask, would they like to help us? And they said no. I said, well, that’s not nice. You know, we spend hundreds of billions a year on NATO, and they said, no, but they were nice enough to give us Greenland, despite all the bad talk. Oh, he’s not going to get it. We got it. We got Greenland, and it’s a great relationship we have with, frankly, Europe. But they have to straighten out their act. Otherwise, there won’t be a Europe left. There will be nothing to be friendly with. If you look at what’s going on in France, I’ve been doing this stuff for a long time, and I’ve been watching other countries for a long time. I have never seen anything like that. That wasn’t a little bit of a riot. That was a little bit of a protest. That was — that was a full-on revolution, and it continues — and it continues. So, you know, we want to be helpful. We want to be with them and all. But you’re not going to have a Europe pretty soon if they keep going. And it’s mostly immigration. There are other, you know, JD wrote a great post on it recently, and — but he would say the same thing — I would have said it whether I liked or not. I mean, it’s a — very much of an immigration problem. You have people coming into countries that don’t like the countries. Somebody said it very well. I said it very well. They don’t like the buildings. They don’t like the art. They don’t like anything about the country, and they don’t like the people. They have no reason not to do what they did in France, and I told President Macron, who’s a friend of mine; I have known him right from the beginning, right after I got elected the first time, I got to meet him. I liked him. I still like him. But I said, if you don’t stop the immigration problem, you’re not going to have a country left, and I said that to Germany, and I said it to the UK. I mean, you take a look at the UK, they have a mayor in London who is horrible. I mean, he’s just absolutely horrible and so bad, what’s happened to London, what’s happened to Paris. If they don’t stop it and remove people — I’m not just talking about stuff. You got to remove people, get them the hell out, or they’re not going to have a they’re not going to have a European Union. They’re not going to have anything, and I like the people. They’re friends of mine, I guess indirectly or directly. That’s where I came from, right? Some of us come from that part, that neck of the woods, but they better get moving because they don’t have much time. When you look at France, and it happened in Italy too, smaller scale, but it’s right there. It’s simmering. If you don’t get that out, you’re going to have to remove the people. You’re going to have to remove those people that are insurrectionists. You’re going to have to get them out of the country. You can’t just say, oh, we won’t take any more, and they continue to take. I mean, again, take a look at Spain just a couple of weeks ago: 100 and some odd thousand people in just a matter of minutes rushed into the country. They don’t do anything about it. I don’t know where they’re living. I don’t know; it’s a crazy situation going on, so we have now a border that’s as strong as we’ve ever had, by far. It’s been that way since the very beginning of my second term or third term, depending on the way you want to define it, and I just don’t want the results of this. I’d like the third term, but I don’t want the results of the second term, but this is — this has been an amazing thing has happened to it. We have — we have the strongest border we’ve ever had. We have the single greatest moment in the history of our country in terms of the economy, meaning the big economy, meaning the trillions and trillions of dollars that’s building plants and factories all over our country. We’re just — Toyota just announced they’re coming in with a massive car plant. You know, we had a period of 49 years where we lost many car plants, but not one was built. And now, we’re building more car plants than we’ve ever built before. We’re leading China in SI — superintelligence. We’re leading them. We’re leading everybody. We’re leading the world in just about everything. And, you know, I call it the Golden Age. This is the golden age of America. It’s a pretty amazing time.”

ABC’s Mary Bruce: “Would you meet with President Xi and — and Putin to discuss the end of the war without Zelensky there? Trump: “Well, I would meet in order — anything I can do to end the war, whether somebody is there or not, whatever I can do to end the war. And they do want to have a meeting at my suggestion, because I’m going to be over in China in November on the denuclearization — and, if we can do denuclearization, I will have done the world a big, big favor, but — so, we are going to have —” Bruce: “But Zelenskyy said you’re on the wrong side of history here, sir.” Trump: “— we are going to have —” Bruce: “Zelenskyy says you’re on the wrong side of history.” Trump: “What’d you say?” Bruce: “Zelenskyy says you’re on the wrong side of history on this one.” Trump: “Zelensky said it?” Bruce: “Yes.” Trump: “Zelenskyy doesn’t know what he’s talking about. Zelenskyy is a man that should have had this war settled a long time ago. If he would have listened to me, he would have made a much better deal a long time ago, and he’d have a million people living from his side, and to be honest, I don’t think — I think it’s time for somebody else to negotiate on behalf of Ukraine, because what’s happened, very little land is moved, but a million people, a tremendous number of people, are dead. They’re losing their male population. Ukraine could have had this thing settled a long time ago. If he would have listened to me — and you remember the Oval Office, he would have had this settled a long time ago. Maybe it’s time for Zelenskyy to get somebody else to negotiate.”

CNN’s Jake Tapper cues up Democrat Senator Elissa Slotkin to attack “this guy” 🇺🇸 Mike Davis 🇺🇸 over his comments calling her out for trying to intimidate young conservatives and Trump supporters from government service... “I mean, first of all, it’s not — it’s not a veiled threat, right? I mean, threatening the Second Amendment is threatening for someone to get shot. And I think there’s been plenty of people, Democrat, and Republican, independents, who would say, like, can we just not threaten violence against each other for our words? He’s certainly precipitated a whole wave of threats against myself. But my staff, including doxing my staff, and this is part of a sort of strategy of intimidation that these people use. And, you know, this is someone who Donald Trump thought of as a potential attorney general and then luckily thought better of it. But I just think that this is kind of part and parcel of this toxic culture of threatening violence because you disagree with someone. The President threatened to have me, you know — investigated, arrested, and hanged for sedition, and followed through with the investigation, and near-arrest part. And this guy’s just threatening violence. And it is — again, I imagine what kids think about when they’re just scrolling Twitter — my nieces and nephews — and they see someone threaten violence because of words. It’s just — it shows you how toxic these people have become online.”

Wow. BRUTAL words for her fellow liberals from Democratic strategist Julie Roginsky on CNN: “I’m going to speak some hard truths...We are not be party of common sense, which is the message the voters sent to us...When we address Latino voters...as Latinx, for instance, b/c that’s the politically correct thing to do, it makes them think we don’t even live in the same planet as they do. When we are too afraid to say that, hey, college kids, if you're trashing the campus of Columbia University b/c you’re unhappy about some sort of policy and you’re taking over a university and you’re trashing it and preventing other students from learning, that is unacceptable. But we’re so worried about alienating one or another cohort in our coalition that we do not know what to say when normal people look at that and say, wait a second. I send my kids to college so they can learn, not so they can burn buildings and trash lawns, right? And so on and so forth. When we put pronouns after names and say she/her as opposed to saying, you know what, if I call you by the wrong pronoun, call me out. I am sorry. I won't do it again. But stop with the virtue signaling and speak to people like they’re normal. There is nothing that I'm going to say to Shermichael that I’m not going to say to your or I’m not going to say to somebody else. I speak the same language to everybody. But that’s not what Democrats do. We constantly try to parse out different ways of speaking because our focus groups or polling shows that so-and-so appeals to such and such. That’s not how normal people think. It is not common sense and we need to start being the part of common sense again. Joe Biden is not responsible for that, neither is Kamala Harris. That is a problem that Democrats have had for years. I’ve been banging the drum on this for I don’t know how — probably ten years on this. We need to get back to being the party of common sense that people look at us and say we understand you. We appreciate what you say because you speak our language. And, until we do that, we should stop blaming other people for our own mistakes.”
