00:00:06.940 Some breaking news out of Washington, D.C. this afternoon.
00:00:09.860 David Hearn, former Olympian who was arrested and charged with the misdemeanor for destruction of property

00:00:27.140 Of course, several other vandals were arrested last month.
00:00:30.000 U.S. Attorney for D.C. Janine Pirro telling Fox News that last month, more charges are coming and the vandals who poured corrosive chemicals in the water are going to pay the price.
00:00:39.740 She says these cases will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.
00:00:43.700 It's unclear how misdemeanor citation originally issued to Hearn escalated into this felony charge, but it's good to see that the grand jury, especially in Washington, D.C., was able to be a little bit non-biased.
00:01:01.320 So, now in other news, in other courts of radical woke Marxist judges, a federal appeals court this afternoon blocking the Trump administration from firing 19 intel officers who were assigned to DEI jobs.
00:01:15.320 The Virginia-based Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals upheld a district judge's injunction requiring the intel agencies to provide the officials with an opportunity to be reassigned.

00:02:32.660 out president trump's executive order requiring in part the usps only transmit ballots for states
00:02:38.560 that follow a list of election integrity rules detailed in the order which includes and this is
00:02:44.400 all common sense stuff folks providing voter rolls or a list of mail-in voters for that state
00:02:50.500 that's not too much to ask or i don't think uh we want people voting in our elections who are
00:02:57.800 citizens so another day and another rogue marxist judge doing whatever they feel like it and this 0.97
00:03:06.720 is the reality of the judicial system now here in america under the marxist damn rule and president 0.96

00:03:17.840 again today urging Senate Majority Leader Thune to fire the Senate Parliamentarian
00:03:21.940 Elizabeth McDonough, whom he said is blocking Republican legislative priorities. The

00:03:32.780 complaint within the chamber's own rules. This lady, who's been in charge now for some
00:03:38.040 time, has repeatedly disavowed the chamber to approve key legislative priorities for
00:03:42.360 republicans through the reconciliation process which is limited to budgetary issues president

00:04:06.720 do it immediately. Fire the parliamentary now. Thune has refused, of course, to fire her because 0.99
00:04:12.200 he's not just a rhino, but he's complicit in the deep state corruption, I believe, to President
00:04:18.200 Trump's constraint, driving most of the push and desire from the White House to pass the Save
00:04:22.400 America Act, that voter ID bill that has languished in the upper chamber due to the 60-vote filibuster
00:04:28.880 threshold. That's another thing that Thune just can't seem to figure out is the filibuster. As
00:04:35.940 soon as the Marxist Dems take back over, that filibuster is gone. We all know it. Thune even 0.81
00:04:40.880 knows it, but he must just be complicit in the entire operation because he's sitting on his
00:04:46.540 hands doing absolutely nothing. Folks, please be sure to join us tonight and each and every night
