    PDB Afternoon Bulletin | March 13th, 2024: Americans Abandoned In Haiti & The Trump-Biden Rematch

    enMarch 13, 2024

    Podcast Summary

    • Live News on Samsung TV Plus with Bill O'ReillyBill O'Reilly's No Spin News is now live on Samsung TV Plus, offering breaking news, analysis, and election coverage. Haiti remains dangerous for Americans amid ongoing chaos, and former presidents Trump and Biden have secured their party's nominations for the presidency.

      Bill O'Reilly's No Spin News is now available to watch live on Samsung TV Plus, and viewers can tune in weeknights at 8 PM for breaking news, honest analysis, and the best election coverage. Meanwhile, the global stage is marked by ongoing chaos in Haiti, where the situation remains dangerous for Americans stranded there as the Biden administration works to support a peaceful transition of power. In addition, former presidents Trump and Biden have both clinched their party's nomination for the presidency, setting up a rematch between the two this November, despite many voters expressing disinterest in the contest. Our afternoon spotlight returns to the ongoing coverage of the chaos in Haiti, where the situation has continued to deteriorate following the prime minister's resignation and the rise of powerful gang leaders.

    • US boosts embassy security in Haiti amidst violence and instabilityThe US is increasing security at its embassy in Haiti with the help of a US Marine team, while supporting a transitional governing council and a multinational UN security mission to restore stability and hold elections.

      The US is taking steps to increase security at its embassy in Haiti amidst ongoing gang violence and political instability in the country. The US Southern Command has deployed a US Marine Fleet Anti-Terrorism Security Team to enhance security capabilities and provide relief for the current marine team. The embassy remains open, but the US has no official plans to help rescue other US citizens stranded in Haiti. The Biden administration is supporting the establishment of a transitional governing council and a multinational UN security mission to bring stability back to Haiti. The Kenyans have agreed to lead the mission, but only once a transitional council is in place. The US has pledged $333 million in aid for the mission and humanitarian assistance. Haitian Prime Minister Ariel Henri has announced his resignation in favor of the transitional council. The international community, including the US, is working together to support a peaceful transition of power and secure elections in Haiti for the first time since 2016.

    • Congress members rescue Americans stranded in crisis-ridden HaitiDuring a crisis, some US representatives took action to save their constituents when the government didn't, while Hollywood faces threats from global adversaries.

      During a crisis in Haiti, where Americans were stranded and unable to leave due to gang activity, some members of Congress took matters into their own hands to rescue their constituents. Republican representatives Lisa McClain from Michigan and Corin Mills from Florida organized a helicopter rescue operation to extract ten US citizens. This came after they found out that the US government had no plan to provide assistance. The situation in Haiti, with over 300 gangs tearing through the country and daily life grinding to a halt, highlights the potential danger and jeopardy American lives face under the current administration. Additionally, Hollywood is under threat from global adversaries, with the Chinese Communist Party covertly compromising the industry and censoring American films. These events underscore the need for effective leadership and action to protect American lives and interests abroad, as well as the importance of preserving artistic freedom and the American way of life.

    • Hollywood and China's Communist Party: Actors Face Ban for Human Rights SupportThe documentary 'Hollywood Takeover' examines the political tensions between Hollywood and China's Communist Party, leading to some actors being banned for supporting human rights.

      The relationship between Hollywood and the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) has led to some actors being banned from China for supporting human rights. This issue is explored in the documentary "Hollywood Takeover" by The Epoch Times. Meanwhile, in the political sphere, both Donald Trump and Joe Biden have secured their party nominations for the 2024 presidential election. Trump has criticized Biden for running a campaign of division, while Biden has accused Trump of threatening American values. As the election season heats up, expect both parties to focus on key issues such as Hollywood's ties to China and border control. In other news, new episodes of Bill O'Reilly's No Spin News are now available on Samsung TV Plus. And in a fun fact, did you know that this is not the first time Trump and Biden are running against each other for the presidency? The upcoming election will be a sequel to their last match in 2020.

    • Historical context of presidential rematchesSix presidential rematches have occurred in American history, including Trump's potential 2024 bid, with varying outcomes for both parties.

      The 2024 presidential race could potentially see a rematch between two previous opponents, as former President Trump aims to follow in the footsteps of Grover Cleveland's second nonconsecutive term in 1892. Throughout American history, there have been six presidential rematches, including John Adams versus Thomas Jefferson and John Quincy Adams versus Andrew Jackson. The most recent rematch was in 1952 when Dwight Eisenhower defeated Adlai Stevenson, but Eisenhower's victory was much larger in his second term. Cleveland's wife famously asked him to take good care of the White House during his first term, and the furniture and ornaments were left untouched upon his return. Trump is hoping for a similar outcome in 2024. This historical context sheds light on the significance of potential rematches in American politics and the potential outcomes for both parties involved.

    A Republican Pollster on Trump’s Undimmed Appeal

    A Republican Pollster on Trump’s Undimmed Appeal

    The fact that Donald Trump is the front-runner for the G.O.P. nomination in 2024 has created a chasm in our politics. In the past, Democrats and Republicans at least understood why members of the other party liked their chosen candidates. Most conservatives weren’t confused why liberals liked Barack Obama, and vice versa for George W. Bush. But for a lot of Democrats, it feels impossible to imagine why anyone would cast a vote for Trump. And as a result, the two parties don’t just feel hostile toward each other; they feel increasingly unknowable.

    Kristen Soltis Anderson is a veteran Republican pollster, a founding partner of the opinion research firm Echelon Insights and a CNN contributor. She spends her days trying to understand the thinking of Republican voters, including hosting focus groups for New York Times Opinion. So I wanted to get her insights on why Republicans like Trump so much — even after his 2020 electoral loss, the Jan. 6 insurrection and over 90 criminal charges. What really explains Trump’s enduring appeal?
