The major broadcast networks all agreed to air Trump’s Tuesday evening Oval Office address to the nation after initially considering snubbing the President.

President Trump confirmed Monday afternoon he will address the nation Tuesday evening from the Oval Office on the national security crisis at the southern border.

The White House asked broadcast networks to carve out at least eight minutes at 9 PM ET Tuesday night where President Trump may declare a national emergency.

On Monday evening, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) lashed out at President Trump and demanded he reopen the government in a joint statement.

Because the 99.999999999999999999999999% of the rest of the media airtime broadcasting non-stop anti-Trump hate isn’t “equal time” enough.

Democrats get a lot more than equal time.

The liberal media, which is around 90% of all media, always gives the opposing side of whatever Trump says or does. IOW, the liberal media is the mouthpiece of the democrats.

In any case, if democrats were to get equal time on the networks, they could easily end up demanding equal time every time Trump does a press conference or Sarah Sanders does a press briefing or any time Trump issues a Twitter message or every time Trump allows an interview with a reporter or commentator or any TV or radio station.

This is something that doesn’t concern President Trump. If Nan & Chuck want equal time, they should approach the networks with their wants.

LOL!

Democrats are projecting yet again, claiming that POTUS speech will be “full of malice and misinformation.”

The only malice and misinformation I’ve seen since DJT announced his run for the White House has come FRom Democrats!

And, should they get some air time tomorrow night, we’ll see a lot more of it!

I suggested yesterday on another thread that Republican need to politely piss off the LIEberals which will cause them go unhinged, which, of course, they have/are.

Does POTUS have his finger on the LIEberals hot buttons?

Or what?

This won’t go well for them. I cannot be the only person who is very angry at amoral/immoral Rats preaching to me about morality. I think the nets should give them all the rope they want.

When you’re dealing with an enemy who is at your every move with intent to stop you.. and your side (gop) does the capitulation route, and you stand alone ... how does one win?

Someone needs to tell the demoncrats this is not the State Of The Union so no response time should be given them

On the contrary. Give them 5 minutes, right after a commercial break and before any comments by "analysts".

If they can come up with a coherent response to a short speech the President has had weeks to work on in 60 seconds, we deserve to lose.

Given that the DIMocRATS have nobody who is fit to be POTUS, given even a somewhat honest 2020 election, DJT wins at a walk.

They don’t need equal time. After Trump they’ll all go to their lying panels of left wing idiots.

COLLUSION!!! Did all of the networks collude in their decision to air the speech? As independent companies, I would have thought they each would have made their own decision - go, or no-go. The FCC needs to look into this.

Didn't Trump just visit the border? I wish some of these speeches/briefings would be accompanied by visual aides.

Pictures/videos of the conditions at the border - check.

Short video clips of the Border Patrol experts describing the need for a wall - check

Pictures of the illegal alien murderers and gang members that got here through the southern border - check

Pictures of the innocents that were murdered, and their families - check

Pictures of walls that work - White House, China, Vatican and Pelosi's house, and the coup de gras: pictures of sections of wall at the US border that have worked - check

Lastly, a picture montage (with name tags) of all the prominent democrats that previously voted for $26 billion to build the wall. Bonus would be video clips of them speaking about the need for the wall, and the benefits. - check
