00:00:00.000OSHA announces they will be putting their unconstitutional vax mandate on hold as cases spike in heavily vaccinated states, the Kyle Rittenhouse trial hits another speed bump, and Democrats vote to censure a Republican congressman for an anime cartoon.

00:00:23.000Slash, Ben will get to all the news in just one moment.
00:00:26.000First, you know, the reality is that if you have a bunch of stuff and you are taking it through TSA, why wouldn't you have some sort of privacy lock on your stuff, right?
00:00:33.000You never know who's looking through your stuff.
00:00:35.000And why exactly would you be online without any sort of protection for your internet activity?
00:00:38.000You know how much information that is valuable you are passing online from your credit cards to your emails?
00:00:43.000Well, you really should protect that activity with ExpressVPN.
00:00:46.000When you go online without a VPN, internet service providers can see every single website you visit, and then they can legally sell that information without your consent to ad companies and tech giants who use the data to target you.
00:00:57.000Plus, hackers have access to it if you're using public Wi-Fi.
00:00:59.000So use ExpressVPN to protect yourself the same way that I do.
00:01:03.000You can browse more anonymously because when you use ExpressVPN, ISPs cannot see your online activity.
00:01:08.000Your identity is anonymized by a secure VPN server.
00:01:10.000Your data is also encrypted for maximum protection.
00:01:55.000And we at the Daily Wire, we filed maybe the first case, first lawsuit against it in the nation, certainly the first lawsuit at the Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals.
00:02:03.000Well, now there are cases right now in all 12 circuits.
00:02:06.000Those are going to be consolidated and sent over to the Sixth Circuit after there was a little bit of a lottery.
00:02:10.000They actually use lottery balls to pick which circuit would get to consolidate the cases were in the Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals.
00:02:15.000That's our case, which means that the Daily Wire is now leading the case for the nation against OSHA.
00:02:22.000Now, the whole that's been put on is a victory for the moment.
00:02:25.000When I say for the moment, I mean that the Biden administration says that they will continue to force the OSHA VAX mandate the minute that a court says that it's okay for them to do so.
00:02:34.000However, that's why this is the first step.
00:02:37.000That's why it's important to help support us here at Daily Wire in pushing back against the vaccine mandate because this will be adjudicated by a panel for the Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals.
00:02:45.000Then it will likely be appealed over to the Supreme Court.
00:02:48.000So this is just the beginning of the battle.
00:02:49.000And we are calling on all other businesses to do what we have done.
00:02:52.000So we at Daily Wire said day one, we would not comply with this unconstitutional vaccine mandate.
00:03:17.000And so if you're a freedom-minded business, do not make it easy for the federal government by doing what the federal government wants you to do.
00:03:23.000Instead, stand up for the freedom of your employees.
00:03:26.000That is what we've done at Daily Wire.
00:03:27.000That's what we're pushing everybody to do.
00:03:28.000Head on over to dailywire.com right now and sign our petition.
00:03:32.000The way that it works is that OSHA has a hearing period for all of their regulations.
00:03:37.000Not the emergency temporary standards they're trying to use here, but their actual regulatory standards.
00:03:41.000And so we hope to submit to them a million signatures In support of the idea that this vaccine mandate is a bad idea through the regulatory process.
00:03:48.000So you can go help us out right now doing that.
00:03:52.000As time moves forward, and as we see how the vaccine mandates are playing out across the nation, what we are seeing is that infections are still spiking in heavily vaccinated states.
00:04:02.000This is not a case against the vaccine.
00:04:04.000As I've said before, the vaccine is very good at preventing hospitalization and death, which is typically what we care about.
00:04:09.000The problem is that for the left-leaning media, for the Democrats, They have boxed themselves in.
00:04:14.000They have suggested that the only way to end the pandemic is if no one gets infected.
00:04:25.000Within the next month, we're going to have therapeutics that are as protective as the vaccine in some cases, according to the new studies that are coming out.
00:04:44.000There should be no public policy push with regard to any of this stuff once people can protect themselves.
00:04:49.000If you choose not to be protected, that is your problem.
00:04:52.000And if you are protected, what everybody else does is none of your business at this point, because we are not reaching herd immunity.
00:04:58.000Everybody understands we are not reaching herd immunity.
00:05:00.000When herd immunity was in sight, when there was an idea that if we got 80% of the population vaxxed, that would end all infections because the R would drop below one, and then no one would be passing this thing on.
00:06:09.000In the past three weeks, Henry Ford Health System says its hospital system has seen a 60% rise in the number of patients hospitalized with COVID.
00:06:18.000According to one of the doctors over there, they have 330 patients with COVID hospitalized across five hospitals.
00:06:23.000Another 35 patients with COVID or suspected COVID.
00:06:26.000Apparently, most of those hospitalized with COVID-19 are not vaccinated.
00:06:29.000Okay, well, that I'm sure is true because you are much more likely to be hospitalized with COVID if you are unvaccinated by the statistics.
00:06:37.000What that does not mean is that you cannot pass this thing on if you are vaccinated to other people who are vaccinated.
00:06:43.000Right now, what we have seen is that the vaccines are not particularly durable in terms of preventing reinfection.
00:06:49.000They're durable in preventing hospitalization and death.
00:06:55.000And none of the people on the left seem to want to recognize this.
00:06:57.000So what is the point of the OSHA vaccine mandate?
00:07:01.000If the idea of the OSHA vaccine mandate is we have to prevent this thing from being passed, well, the vaccine itself does not prevent, in toto, all of this virus from being passed.
00:07:11.000There's a somewhat lower rate of passing the virus if you are vaccinated versus if you are unvaccinated.
00:07:16.000But it is not a completely lower rate, which is why you would see outbreaks in heavily vaccinated areas.
00:07:20.000For example, Ireland right now is a 93% vaxxed country.
00:07:25.000They reimposed COVID restrictions anyway because there was a massive uptick in the number of COVID cases.
00:07:29.000There's a member of the health service explaining that.
00:07:33.000As a society we need to look out for each other.
00:07:36.00093% of the adult population are fully vaccinated.
00:07:41.000We have over 600 people in hospital at the moment and roughly around half of those are unvaccinated.
00:07:49.000The evidence is absolutely clear and tonight I would join with all of our healthcare professionals in urging people who have not yet received the vaccine to please take it up.
00:08:03.000Now again, urging people to take the vaccine is not a terrible thing.
00:08:06.000Forcing people to take the vaccine is a very different thing.
00:08:09.000You're seeing the same thing in Vermont, by the way.
00:08:11.000Vermont has the highest vaccination rate in the country, and cases are surging over there.
00:08:15.000According to ABC News, in Vermont, nearly 72% of residents are fully vaccinated against COVID-19.
00:08:21.000At the same time, it has the 12th highest rate of new COVID cases over the last week, according to state data.
00:08:25.000And in the country right now, we have a major surge in COVID cases.
00:08:32.000You should only care about hospitalizations and deaths.
00:08:35.000And at this point, you should really only care about whether you and your family are protected, and whether your neighbors are protected, and whether they also have the freedom to determine whether they are protected.
00:09:53.000And yet the Biden administration continues to push forward with this notion that they are going to mandate on you and on your employer that you get the vax.
00:10:25.000Because business owners who are going to contribute to her mayoral campaign said, we're not going to contribute unless you allow us to do our business.
00:10:32.000And of course, you have other Democrats who are attacking Mayor Bowser now.
00:10:37.000City Council, Phil Mendelsohn, writing a letter to Muriel Bowser, saying that they want to reinstate the mask mandate.
00:10:45.000They say, even the White House will maintain its mask mandate.
00:10:49.000We urge you to reverse your decision to drop the mask mandate.
00:10:53.000We are concerned the changing course entering the winter months, not to mention the week before a major travel holiday, is not a prudent course of action.
00:10:58.000It sends a signal that public health concerns are back to normal when they are not.
00:11:02.000Our focus should be on getting every eligible person vaccinated, not gambling with the safety of the most vulnerable, etc, etc, etc.
00:11:08.000So Democrats are stuck between a rock and a hard place.
00:11:29.000That is from April of last year to April of this year.
00:11:33.000According to the New York Times, in that 12-month period, more than 100,000 Americans died of overdoses, up almost 30% from the 78,000 deaths in the prior year.
00:11:42.000That figure marks the first time the number of overdose deaths in the U.S.
00:11:44.000has exceeded 100,000 per year, more than the total of car crashes and gun fatalities combined.
00:11:50.000Overdose deaths have more than doubled since 2015.
00:11:54.000By the way, this does give the lie to the notion that more government aid prevents overdose deaths.
00:11:58.000We had more government aid in the last year than any time in American history.
00:12:04.000Because when you destroy people's sense of community, their ability to reach out to other human beings, they stay home and they get high and they do drugs.
00:12:12.000Administration officials said on Wednesday they will expand access to medications like Naloxone, which can reverse an opioid overdose by encouraging states to pass laws that will make it more widely available and promoting its use by Americans.
00:12:25.000But the COVID pandemic accelerated this, and really the response to the COVID pandemic accelerated this.
00:12:32.000Overdose deaths related to use of stimulants like meth, coke, and natural and semi-synthetic opioids also increased during the 12-month period.
00:12:42.000The vast majority of those deaths, 70% were among men between the age of 25 and 54.
00:12:48.000There were regional variations in the death counts, but the largest year-over-year increase is exceeding 50% in states including California.
00:12:56.000Vermont increased 85% during the reporting period.
00:12:59.000You saw some poorer areas like Tennessee, Louisiana, Mississippi, West Virginia, Kentucky.
00:13:04.000That had a pretty major uptick as well.
00:13:06.000But you also saw increases of 40% in Washington State, Oregon, Nevada, Colorado, Minnesota, Alaska, Nebraska, Virginia, and the Carolinas.
00:13:15.000Okay, so it turns out that shutting down the entire country has some pretty dire side effects.
00:13:24.000And Democrats are about to pay the political price for all of this.
00:13:27.000Which is why Governor Ron DeSantis has not been doing this the whole time.
00:13:29.000Governor DeSantis in Florida, he just pushed through a bunch of anti-mask mandate and vax mandate proposals in the state of Florida.
00:13:39.000According to the New York Times, early this year, Governor Ron DeSantis crisscrossed Florida promoting COVID vaccines, visiting retiree communities and hospitals, celebrating people who got their shots.
00:13:47.000But it was a remarkably different picture this week when Florida's Lieutenant Governor Jeanette Nunez was a prominent speaker at a rally organized by anti-vax activists on the state capitol steps.
00:14:03.000Full disclosure, I'm very friendly with both Governor DeSantis and Jeanette Núñez.
00:14:07.000She's a wonderful Lieutenant Governor.
00:14:09.000But, says the New York Times, the jarring scene gave vaccine skeptics in Florida a big win and moved the state further away from the guidance of federal public officials.
00:14:17.000Perhaps no state has been more aggressive than Florida, where Mr. DeSantis and his allies are betting that anger over public health restrictions that drove Republicans to the polls in Virginia, New Jersey, and other states will grow their political base and keep voters fervently engaged.
00:14:30.000The Republicans passed four bills on Wednesday to curtail mask and vax mandates, the culmination of a three-day special legislative session that Mr. DeSantis called so swiftly it caught even Republican leaders by surprise.
00:14:40.000The session was urgently needed to combat federal government overreach, said DeSantis, which, of course, is true.
00:14:45.000The federal government is mandating that businesses do what the federal government wants them to do.
00:14:48.000The state of Florida is saying, well, no, we're just going to fight back against that, and now we're not going to allow you to do what the federal government is telling you to do, creating a conflict of law situation that frees businesses to do essentially what they want.
00:15:00.000I love how the New York Times proposes that this is all about being anti-vax in Florida.
00:15:06.000If you look at the vaccination rates by state in America, Florida is right in the middle of the pack.
00:15:12.000This bizarre, idiotic notion that Florida is somehow on the low end of vaccination rates is totally crazy.
00:15:32.000If you look at the percentage of people who are vaccinated above the age of 65, Florida has 93.2%, this is according to Mayo Clinic, 93.2% of all people in Florida above the age of 65, this is a really old state by the way, are vaccinated.
00:15:51.000Of people aged 18 to 64, almost 70% are vaccinated.
00:15:58.000By the way, those are better numbers than a huge number of blue states, including, by the way, Michigan.
00:16:04.000Even among people 12 to 17, almost 50% of Florida residents aged 12 to 17 are fully vaccinated.
00:16:11.000And if you look at the numbers on one-dose vaccinations, if you look at the number of people who have gotten at least one dose, you're looking at 99.9% of all people aged over 65 have one dose of the vaccine in Florida.
00:16:22.000And 78% of Floridians between 18 and 64 have the vaccine.
00:16:26.000So you're seeing the media trying to proclaim that this is all about how Florida doesn't want people to vaccinate.
00:17:20.000This is a really nice looking timepiece.
00:17:22.000It really is a great looking timepiece and it's really durable.

00:18:27.000Alrighty, so the Rittenhouse trial continues to undergo deliberation.
00:18:31.000It is insane to me that we are still deliberating about this case.
00:18:47.000Some of the other misinformation about the case that is widespread, and you gentlemen are as aware of it as I am, Now they had some people in the Milwaukee Journal, I think I read it, said it was odd, I think was the word, that I didn't rule on the motion to dismiss.
00:19:08.000I haven't even had a chance to read the motion to dismiss.
00:19:30.000Okay, so the media coverage in the case has been absolutely bizarre.
00:19:33.000He is exactly right about that, and politically driven.
00:19:35.000Well, yesterday, the prosecution ran directly into a buzzsaw because it turns out that the prosecution handed over a badly pixelated version of the drone footage.
00:19:46.000Remember, there was drone footage of the first shooting of Joseph Rosenbaum by Kyle Rittenhouse.
00:19:52.000And it turns out that the prosecution had that for a long time, and finally when they turned it over, it was a badly pixelated version of the video.
00:19:58.000According to Breitbart, the dispute involved several videos, especially a high-definition video the prosecution used in closing arguments on Friday, which had not been provided to the defense, which received only a low-res version.
00:20:08.000The defense moved for a mistrial Tuesday on that basis.
00:20:11.000ADA John Krause told the judge the prosecution had not intentionally withheld video evidence from the defense, but there was an accidental compression involved in moving video between iPhone and Android devices.
00:20:21.000The person who took the footage, according to Krause, had earlier provided it to Rittenhouse's former attorney John Pierce, who had shown it last year on the Tucker Carlson show on Fox News.
00:20:29.000When it was emailed to the defense, there was a compression, he said, which had not been deliberate.
00:20:34.000He said he had no idea how to compress the files.
00:20:36.000The defense countered the files appeared to be different, and the metadata accompanying the video appeared different.
00:20:42.000The defense also said the video provided to Tucker Carlson was different as it was black and white.
00:20:59.000Earlier on Wednesday, the jury did send a question to the judge about whether it would be permitted to review video evidence in the courtroom or in private.
00:21:04.000That came in late yesterday afternoon.
00:21:07.000Okay, so the prosecutors tried to claim that it was just a technical glitch.
00:21:13.000The defense said that this video evidence was compressed by the prosecution and passed over to them in order to deceive them, which wouldn't be a shock because there've been serious evidentiary questions throughout.
00:21:23.000Here is the defense making that argument.
00:21:25.000The one that was provided to the state's crime lab that attorney Finger gave me a copy of on Saturday had a very long convoluted title that involves lots of letters and numbers that are the type that are usually associated with files taken from a drone because they indicate a lot of different information like the location of the drone and the time.
00:21:46.000The file I received originally on Friday the 5th was not labeled that same and was not the same file amount.
00:21:55.000There's no way that what ADA Krause is saying is true because the file name would not have changed if my computer was compressing anything.
00:22:04.000It was a different file that we were provided from what was provided to the state.
00:22:09.000At least for what Attorney Binger gave me on Saturday.
00:22:16.000Okay, meanwhile, the prosecution admitted there was a technical glitch, but they said it was just a technical glitch, no biggie.
00:22:21.000The defense, by the way, is arguing that one of the reasons the prosecution did this is because they were looking for a mistrial, because this is going so badly for them.
00:22:29.000I think we're focusing on... too heavily on... I guess a technological glitch.
00:22:40.000And we should be focusing that this exhibit was played.
00:22:45.000The jury is asking to see exhibits that they have seen.
00:23:18.000Meanwhile, the media continue their habit of drawing the most bizarre narratives out of this case.
00:23:24.000Farhad Manjoo, who somehow has finagled a column at the New York Times, which is amazing because truly there is a running battle between the members of the New York Times editorial board about which one of them is the worst columnist.
00:23:34.000Farhad Manjoo is definitely near the top of the list.
00:23:37.000I think it goes like Charles Blow, Paul Krugman, Farhad Manjoo, but he's climbing the list each and every day.
00:23:41.000He had a piece yesterday in which he argued that the big problem in the Kyle Rittenhouse case was the gun.
00:23:47.000Not the people rioting in the streets attacking the guy with a gun, the gun.
00:23:51.000According to Farhad Manjoo, the lead prosecutor, Thomas Binger, offered a meticulously documented closing argument that deftly summarized all the ways Rittenhouse acted unlawfully.
00:24:00.000We'll see if the jury buys it, but to me, Binger's argument had a power beyond this case.
00:24:03.000That's because it cleverly unraveled some of the foundational tenets of gun advocacy, that guns are effective and necessary weapons of self-defense.
00:24:10.000Well, I'm not sure how that was unraveled, considering that...
00:24:13.000Rittenhouse would probably be dead today, or at the very least in a coma in a hospital, if he had not had a gun.
00:24:19.000He says that without them lawlessness and tyranny would prevail.
00:24:21.000Lawlessness and tyranny did prevail in Kenosha, Wisconsin.
00:24:25.000And that in the right hands, in the hands of the good guys, guns promote public safety rather than destroying it.
00:24:30.000There just weren't enough guns there in the hands of the good guys.
00:24:33.000There was one good guy with a gun, Kyle Rittenhouse in this particular case, up against an entire riotous mob.
00:24:40.000One of whom was a child molester trying to attack him, another of whom was a convicted criminal who was trying to attack him with a skateboard, and a third of whom was approaching him with his own gun.
00:24:48.000But says Firehead Manju, in the Rittenhouse case, none of that was true.
00:24:51.000At every turn that night, Rittenhouse's AR-15-style semi-automatic rifle made things worse, ratcheting up danger rather than quelling it.
00:24:58.000The gun transformed situations that might have ended in black eyes and broken bones into ones that ended with corpses in the street.
00:25:51.000A Democratic House has now been stripping Republicans of their committee assignments, which is a pretty big violation of the way that this stuff usually works.
00:25:59.000First, I got to tell you about one of the best gifts I ever got my parents.
00:26:02.000My parents out in their garage for years just had boxes of old film reels, boxes of old pictures, boxes of old VHS tapes of us as kids, and just sitting there doing nothing.
00:26:11.000And so I went over to their house, to their garage, and I took all that stuff, I loaded it up into a legacy box, I sent it into legacy box, and legacy box returned all of that material along with the digitization of all of that old footage, all those old film reels, etc.
00:27:39.000Okay, so it's just images of people at the border, and then an anime character flying through the air, and then people riding ATVs near the border, and helicopters near the
00:28:10.000And the anime video shows this Paul Gosar anime character attacking with swords a figure which appears to be like a half-naked male with the face of Alexandra Ocasio-Cortez and then jumping toward the face of Joe Biden with anime swords.
00:28:38.000If you think that's an actual death threat against AOC, you're a crazy person.
00:28:41.000As somebody who's received their fair share of death threats, I can safely say that in no way would I see something like this and think, oh, that's a legit death threat.
00:28:49.000That's somebody who's trying to kill me.
00:28:51.000I could say, yeah, I'm offended, it's really stupid.
00:28:55.000It's literally an anime meme video, and Ghoststar is like a...
00:28:59.000somewhat elderly dude who likes to hang out with the meme crowd, like the alt-right meme crowd.
00:29:04.000And yet this was taken as an actual death threat against Alexander Ocasio-Cortez and Joe Biden, which is wild. Okay, it's kind of an insane thing. So here is Paul Gosar defending himself. Again, he's a wild dude. For this cartoon, some in Congress suggest I should be punished.
00:29:26.000I have said decisively, there is no threat in the cartoon other than the threat to the immigration poses to our country.
00:29:33.000And no threat was intended by my staff or me.
00:29:37.000The American people deserve to have their voices heard in Congress.
00:29:40.000No matter how much the left tries to quiet me, I will continue to speak out against amnesty for illegal aliens.
00:29:47.000If I must join Alexander Hamilton, the first person attempted to be censored by this House, so be it.
00:30:23.000These threats specifically target a woman, a woman of color, which is part, as the resolution states, a global phenomenon meant to silence women and discourage them from seeking positions of authority and participating in public life.
00:30:39.000Disguising death threats against a member of Congress and a President of the United States in an animated video does not make those death threats any less real or less serious.
00:31:42.000And this bizarre, crazy idea that it's about AOC's race and sex is, again, nuts.
00:31:49.000The reason, presumably, that he's angry with AOC is because she's an amnesty-first, crazy person who has been treated as the light of the left.
00:32:09.000It's so weird. Okay, so then AOC gets up and she does the woe is me routine. And now AOC is going to lecture us about the nature of rhetoric in politics, AOC, because she's never used inflammatory rhetoric at all. I mean, she's one of the most eloquent, well-spoken, soft-spoken, subtle artists in the rhetorical space, AOC.
00:32:29.000It is sad. It is a sad day in which a member who leads a political party in the United States of America cannot bring themselves to say that issuing a depiction of murdering a member of Congress is wrong.
00:32:51.000And instead decides to venture off into a tangent about gas prices and inflation.
00:32:58.000What is so hard What is so hard about saying that this is wrong?
00:33:06.000Okay, so this is coming from the same group of people.
00:33:12.000She voted literally in favor of not funding Iron Dome, which helps Hamas.
00:33:17.000So yeah, or actually she abstained and then she cried about it on the House floor.
00:34:28.000All of you in Congress, I think that you're basically useless.
00:34:30.000I think you do nothing for a living and get paid on the tax paradigm and then claim that you're changing the world while wrecking America's fiscal future.
00:34:37.000So let me just put that one out there.
00:35:03.000You don't have to like Paul Gosar or even like that he tweeted out a dumb meme to understand that it's not a death threat that violates the sanctity of the United States Congress.
00:35:25.000Who is a congressperson from Michigan.
00:35:27.000He said, as someone who's faced death threats and had a senior party official reference my assassination, I take political violence seriously.
00:35:33.000Representative Gosar disgraced himself with his actions leading up to January 6th.
00:35:36.000He's disgraced himself further by associating with anti-Semites and Holocaust deniers.
00:35:40.000Sadly, disgracing oneself with anti-Jewish associates isn't a rare occurrence for a handful of my colleagues on either side of the aisle.
00:35:46.000But today's vote wasn't about these actions.
00:35:49.000The last censure of a member of Congress was in 2010.
00:35:52.000Today, Democratic leadership did not present an objective articulate standard for censure in the absence of an ethics committee ruling or a formal legal action.
00:35:59.000Representative Gosar's conduct has been contemptible.
00:36:02.000Calling that video a death threat is an unreasonable exaggeration that ignores why political violence is such a threat.
00:36:57.000Here's Kevin McCarthy saying, listen, you guys want to play this game?
00:37:00.000Next time we're in power, we are going to dump all you guys from your committee assignments.
00:37:04.000What they have started cannot be easily undone.
00:37:07.000Their actions today and the past have forever changed the way the House operates.
00:37:13.000It means that the minority rights that have served this body as well are the things of the past.
00:37:21.000And furthermore, it means that under the Pelosi president, All the members that I have mentioned earlier will need the approval of a majority to keep those positions in the future.
00:37:35.000In one second, we're gonna get to Lauren Boebert, who, honestly, Lauren Boebert just went hard after other members of Congress, and I'm here for it.
00:37:45.000First, if you're a homeowner who's been focused on your budget, focused on your future, focused on finding the right option to save money, I have something for you to consider, a mortgage refinance.

00:40:38.000You're listening to the largest, fastest growing conservative podcast and radio show in the nation.
00:40:41.000Alrighty, so Lauren Boebert, the congresswoman from Colorado, she was having none of this.
00:40:50.000She got up on the floor of the House and she's like, okay, so let me get this straight.
00:40:53.000Paul Gosar got censured, not for any of the anti-Semitic hangings out or any of his prior bizarre statements, but for an anime meme.
00:41:02.000And should we sum up what some members of this Congress have done wrong?
00:41:06.000Lauren Boebert just bringing the hammer.
00:41:11.000Since the speaker has designated the floor to discuss members' inappropriate actions, shall we, the Jihad Squad member from Minnesota has paid her husband, and not her brother-husband, the other one, over a million dollars in campaign funds.
00:41:28.000This member is allowed on the Foreign Affairs Committee while praising terrorists.
00:41:35.000and then the cherry on top my colleague and three-month presidential candidate from california who is on the intelligence committee slept with feng feng a chinese spy let me say that again a member of congress who receives classifieds sleeping with the enemy this is unacceptable and this would never be time to expire gentlemen from florida
00:43:28.000She's got a follow-the-house Usher thing going on in her own family.
00:43:32.000And not just that, even if you put aside the, as Lauren Boebert calls it, the alleged brother-husband, you will have to recall that she also did in fact pay a couple of million bucks to her current husband's firm.
00:43:46.000She was allegedly having an affair with her current husband while she was married with the last husband.
00:44:20.000It's a very vibrant Jewish world in the Twin Cities.
00:44:24.000What those relationships are like, what those conversations have been like, because I do know people that have pretty progressive politics that I do think have been offended or have questioned your heart on these matters.
00:44:37.000And I know that's happened in your district.
00:44:38.000I'm curious what those conversations have been like.
00:44:40.000Yeah, I mean, I think communities are not monolithic.
00:44:43.000You know, there's different ideologies people have, there's different perspectives and different places where people come from and there are different relationships people have with me that sort of inform a positive reaction to anything I say or a negative reaction to anything that I say.
00:45:00.000I'm just going to sidestep that you hitting anti-Semitism right there.
00:45:02.000By the way, the Democratic Party, the Democratic Party still has Rashida Tlaib as a member of good standing.
00:45:06.000This is a person who hobnobs with pro-terror advocates openly.
00:45:10.000And Joe Biden was praising her yesterday, like not a year ago, yesterday.
00:45:15.000It's a spare me the crocodile tears on the, oh my god, Paul Gosar put out an anime meme.
