WEX Wakeup: 'Route 60: The Biblical Highway' premieres in D.C.; DeSantis hits Trump over age

#wexwakeup for Wednesday, September 13☕☀️

Film came to Washington, D.C Tuesday night, as the new documentary called 'Route 60: The Biblical Highway' held their premiere at the Museum of the Bible.The film shows the 146 mile journey on Route 60, also known as the Path of the Patriarchs, from Nazareth to Jerusalem, which connects with ancient modern Israel, Jews, Christians with Muslims, and Israelis with Palestinians. The film is hosted by former US Ambassador to Israel David Friedman and former US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo.

Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL) bashed former President Donald Trump over his age, suggesting he is too old to competently be president. In an interview with CBS News, DeSantis, 44, drew a comparison between Trump, 77, and President Joe Biden, 80, over their respective ages. He claimed that their age made it difficult for them to perform their tasks as president competently and that his younger age would allow him to be seen by voters as a fresh new generation.

House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer (R-KY) said he has “leads” on tracing the $10 million bribe that President Joe Biden allegedly received. The payment is documented on an FBI-generated FD-1023 form, which was released by Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-IA) in July. In the document, a confidential FBI informant told the bureau that Mykola Zlochevsky — the head of Burisma, a Ukrainian energy company where Hunter Biden sat on the board — had allegedly claimed he had funneled $5 million to Joe Biden when he was vice president and $5 million to Hunter Biden in an alleged exchange for pressuring the Ukrainian government to fire Viktor Shokin, the country's lead prosecutor who was believed to be investigating Burisma.
