00:01:54.000They work by lowering blood sugar and reducing appetite.
00:01:57.500But what if you want to lose some weight, but you're not interested in potentially painful
00:02:02.320weekly injections, you're going to get bruised up, you don't have to stick yourself with a needle
00:02:06.540for weight loss, feels weird, especially when you hear about some of those intense side effects.

00:03:06.120yesterday as the party's left wing looks to build on Abdul El-Sayed's Democratic Senate primary
00:03:12.320victory in Michigan. El-Sayed now moving into a general election against Republican former
00:03:17.800Congressman Mike Rogers, with questions over his far-left allies already taking center stage.
00:03:24.560El-Sayed yesterday on NBC sounding eager to bring former President Barack Obama onto the
00:03:29.840campaign trail following a recent conversation between the two men. Is he going to campaign
00:03:34.880with you, Dr. El-Sayed? Look, I really hope so. And it was a really good conversation about
00:03:39.560what we need to do to be able to win. And obviously, this is somebody who knows a lot
00:03:43.260about winning Michigan. That enthusiasm proving harder to find when El-Sayed was asked about
00:03:48.500another figure who helped promote his primary campaign, radical far-left streamer Hassan Piker.
00:03:54.960Piker drawing repeated criticism over years of inflammatory commentary.
00:03:59.820America deserved 9-11, dude. Fuck it. I'm saying it.
00:04:03.000I don't support the state of Israel, and I don't support the state of the United States of America.
00:04:08.140Yeah, kill them. Kill those motherfuckers and murder those motherfuckers in the street. Let
00:04:11.860the streets let the streets soak in their fucking red capitalist bloods dude el sayed previously
00:04:18.740appearing alongside piker during the primary but declining yesterday to say whether he would
00:04:23.460campaign with the streamer again this fall do you plan to continue to campaign with hassan piker
00:04:29.760in the general election campaign look i'm less concerned now with who i'm campaigning with a lot
00:04:34.720more concerned about who i'm campaigning to we got a lot of work uh to do to continue to build
00:04:39.160the coalition that's going to be Mike Rogers. Would you welcome him, though? On the campaign
00:04:44.780trail? Like I said, I'm a lot more focused on who I'm campaigning to. So I think we have this
00:04:50.520notion sometimes on shows like this, that we cannot or should not talk to certain groups of
00:04:56.380people. And I'll tell you that the three million people who listen to Hassan are people I want to
00:05:01.820make sure understand that there's a pathway into our politics. Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez
00:05:07.880of New York facing a similar question on ABC yesterday morning as Piker becomes an increasingly
00:05:13.540visible figure around the progressive movement. You know, I think when we look at our elections
00:05:19.620that have happened, we have lost young people. Much hay was made about the fact that we lost
00:05:26.060young men in the last election. And many of the same consultants that are wringing their hands
00:05:32.980today. We're the same ones talking about how we need to go on Joe Rogan and we need to be
00:05:41.260not not so willing to engage in cancel culture. And I think that the flip flopping on this
00:05:51.360is a tactical debate that they may be having. I think the fact of the matter is, is that
00:05:58.560Democrats can go on Joe Rogan. Democrats can go on Fox News. Democrats have a responsibility to
00:06:03.760build a winning coalition. And young people are engaging in mediums and conversations
00:06:09.980that we have a responsibility to attend to and be responsive to.
00:06:15.920The questions over who progressives are willing to embrace extending beyond Michigan.
00:06:21.040In Wisconsin, Democrat Socialist State Representative Francesca Hong,
00:06:25.100now seeking the Democratic nomination for governor while facing renewed scrutiny over
00:06:29.380positions she embraced during the COVID pandemic and Black Lives Matter protests in 2020.
00:06:35.520Hong at the time calling to defund and ultimately abolish the police,
00:06:40.060she also urged Americans to cancel Thanksgiving, posting to X, quote,
00:06:44.580should have done this in 1621. If it takes a worldwide pandemic for us to realize we should
00:06:49.420stop celebrating colonialism and the original super spreader event that killed indigenous folks
00:06:54.860and women, so be it. By the way, folks is F-O-L-X. AOC pressed yesterday on Hong's past
00:07:02.960rhetoric, attempting to get out of responsibility for the madness of that time as follows.
00:07:09.340My understanding is that Francesca Hong has made clear her present stances to her electorate.
00:07:15.840Yeah, she's moved away from a lot of that.
00:07:17.060Right, she's moved away from it. And I have a local city councilman that has this saying,
00:07:23.660woke one was crazy. During this time and during, especially during COVID, there was a huge opening
00:07:30.340of the Overton window. We were shut down. There was some of the highest unemployment rates that
00:07:34.400we have seen because of those shutdowns. And I think that the doors were really open in trying
00:07:40.660to entertain any and every policy that was going to get us to a better place. And I actually think
00:07:47.480that the discussions that were had in that time were quite fruitful. I think that, you know,
00:07:55.160during lockdown, of course, rhetoric in that time is not rhetoric that we would use today.
00:08:00.840And I'm grateful that these candidates have the opportunity to present who they are to their
00:08:05.920electorate and what they're campaigning on in this moment. Woke One was crazy? What? AOC pioneered
00:08:13.860woke one. Oh, I will have much more to say about this on The Megyn Kelly Show later today.
00:08:19.360Senator Bernie Sanders of Vermont yesterday on CBS, like AOC, declining to go so far as to
00:08:25.480back Hong. We have a limited number of races that we can be involved in. Most of my focus on
00:08:32.060is getting people elected to the United States Senate, getting people elected to the House of
00:08:37.480Representatives. So with one exception, we have not been involved in a governance race. That's
00:08:42.660somebody who I've known in Maine for many, many years. Hong's primary is set for tomorrow with
00:08:48.020the most recent polls tracked by Real Clear Polling showing her leading the more moderate
00:08:52.900Milwaukee County executive David Crowley by double digits. South Carolina Republicans heading back
00:09:00.660to the polls tomorrow for a special primary to decide who will replace the late Senator
00:09:05.680Lindsey Graham as the party's nominee in November. Senator Graham securing the Republican nomination
00:09:11.800for a fifth term in early June, defeating businessman Mark Lynch by roughly 28 points,
00:09:17.70056.8 percent to 28.9. The senator then dying unexpectedly on July 11th at the age of 71,
00:09:25.820leaving Republicans without a nominee for the November election. South Carolina Republican
00:09:30.680Governor Henry McMaster appointing Graham's sister, Darlene Graham, to temporarily fill his
00:09:36.540Senate seat, which she is doing now, with state law triggering a new Republican primary to
00:09:42.400determine who will take Mr. Graham's place on the general election ballot. President Trump
00:09:47.160quickly throwing his support behind Mrs. Graham, previously a state worker who has spent her
00:09:52.520career advocating for and helping the blind, with the president promising his, quote, complete and
00:09:57.900total endorsement if she sought the full six-year term, adding, quote, run, Darlene, run. Ms. Graham
00:10:04.200ultimately entering the race on July 20th. The first-time candidate addressing her lack
00:10:09.200of political experience directly during a Republican primary debate earlier this week.
00:10:14.480I'm different from most politicians. Obviously, I'm not a politician. I never saw myself
00:10:19.760being a politician. We all know why I'm here. I actually think it's part of God's plan.
00:10:26.100I know most of these guys have 30 or 40 years experience combined. And again,
00:10:31.340I'm not a politician. I'm not a millionaire. I understand the average struggles of the American
00:10:37.080family. I am pro-life. I don't believe in boys' and men's girls' sports. I don't believe they
00:10:45.320belong in the locker rooms. I think that's just dangerous. I believe in protecting the Second
00:10:50.320Amendment. I'm a bargain shopper because I have to be. And I'll do anything it takes to help pass
00:10:57.880the Save America Act, because I think it's that important.
00:11:01.280Ms. Graham also breaking with her late brother on the filibuster, saying she would support
00:11:05.980eliminating this protection of Senate minority rights to help President Trump's signature
00:11:11.140voting reform legislation, the Save America Act.
00:11:14.640Ms. Graham entering primary election day as the frontrunner, though apparently still
00:11:18.780well short of the majority she would need to win the GOP nomination outright.
00:11:22.720A Qantas Insights poll released Friday, putting Ms. Graham at 30.4 percent, followed by Republican
00:11:29.920Congressman Ralph Norman at 17.5 percent, Congressman Russell Frye at 16.6 percent,
00:11:36.780former South Carolina Governor Mark Sanford at 15.4, and businessman Mark Lynch at 7.1.
00:11:43.600Nearly 12 percent remain undecided. The RealClearPolitics polling average shows the race
00:11:49.000closer, with Graham up just six points on Norman. If no one clears 50%, the top two finishers
00:11:55.340advance to a runoff on August 25th. Former Governor Sanford, whose extramarital affair
00:12:01.600as governor made headlines in 2009, went on to become a congressman, a seat he held for
00:12:07.180six years before losing a Republican primary following repeated clashes with President Trump
00:12:13.220during Mr. Trump's first term. Now, Sanford's seeking a political comeback, eyeing Senator
00:12:19.080Graham's seat. With such a crowded field, no candidate is expected to win an outright majority
00:12:24.300tomorrow. The eventual Republican nominee will face Democratic pediatrician Annie Andrews in
00:12:30.320the November 3rd general election in a race expected to heavily favor the Republican.
00:12:35.240Coming up, two former NBA players putting the WNBA's transgender eligibility rules to the test.
00:12:44.100And new details on Perez Hilton's condition, with his family now saying the celebrity blogger will need surgery as he begins what they describe as a long recovery.

00:14:09.000eligible for the 2027 WNBA draft in an apparent effort to force the league to more clearly define
00:14:16.320what a woman is. It's really not that hard, people. The declarations coming amid weeks of
00:14:22.700controversy inside the WNBA after Indiana Fever guard Sophie Cunningham publicly argued that
00:14:28.700biological men should not be allowed to compete against women. The comments igniting a much
00:14:33.800broader fight across the league as coaches and players are increasingly pressed to say
00:14:38.220whether they believe men pretending to be women should be allowed to compete in women's basketball.
00:14:44.420Then on Friday, former NBA center Ennis Cantor Freedom changing the conversation.
00:14:49.920The 6'10 center selected third overall in the 2011 NBA draft, going on to play 11 seasons in
00:14:57.120the league, averaging more than 11 points and nearly 8 rebounds per game over the course of
00:15:02.100his NBA career. Now at 34 years old, Cantor Freedom, in a social media video, declaring
00:15:08.420himself eligible for the 2027 WNBA draft, effectively daring the league to explain
00:15:15.140why he cannot play. If simply declaring who you are is all that's required,
00:15:21.180then I meet every single requirement necessary to compete in the WNBA. My team and I have
00:15:26.680carefully examined the WNBA's eligibility criteria and governing framework surrounding
00:15:31.580self-identification and inclusion. Based on the current guidelines, I can and am officially
00:15:37.180declaring my eligibility for the upcoming WNBA draft in May 2027. I am definitely not here to
00:15:42.640mock, make fun of, or to suspect any community or personal choices. I am simply asking that the
00:15:48.600current rules be applied equally to everyone, the rules that represent the very values many WNBA
00:15:54.060players and coaches have publicly advocated for. My team and I are prepared to ensure these
00:15:59.160guidelines are applied equally, consistently, and without exception, and I look forward to the WNBA
00:16:04.840honoring its stated principles. See you at training camp. The WNBA's collective bargaining
00:16:10.200agreement declaring, quote, only players who are women are eligible to play in the WNBA.
00:16:15.960The agreement not further defining the term women or establishing specific eligibility rules for
00:16:21.780transgender players. Although in the wake of Sophie Cunningham's statements, several coaches
00:16:27.120in the league and some players have come out as supporting trans athletes in their sport.
00:17:01.760You know, I've always trusted the science, and I thought I was a man my entire life.
00:17:05.500But, you know, after further review, a strong look at my personal preferences, it would appear that I am indeed sometimes identifying as a transgender woman.
00:17:16.820And I think it's only fair I get a chance to play with some of my queens here in the twilight of my career, my athletic prime.
00:17:24.060WNBA Commissioner Kathy Engelbert sending a memo, obtained by the Associated Press,
00:17:29.360to all WNBA teams on Friday, acknowledging that so-called transgender participation is
00:17:35.100attracting increasing attention around the league. Engelbert writing, quote,
00:17:39.420we recognize that this is a complex and nuanced topic, while telling teams that league officials
00:17:44.700will continue conversations with both team leaders and the Players Association.
00:17:50.220The commissioner also writing that trans eligibility will now be discussed by a task force of team presidents and general managers
00:17:57.420during a previously scheduled meeting this week, with the league planning additional discussions and listening sessions.
00:18:04.940Engelbert stressing that unlike some other sports organizations,
00:18:07.920the WNBA's player eligibility rules are collectively bargained between the league and its union.
00:18:14.640The WNBA Players Association also releasing a statement on Friday reaffirming its commitment to, quote, justice, equity, diversity and inclusion while condemning what it called hate and demonization targeting transgender people.
00:18:30.340Great. Let that inclusion include Cantor Freedom and Royce White.
