7-28-29 Hour 3 - The Creeping Danger of Socialism

This time I speak with D&D's showpower expert, Hilda Burstab, about how showpower is shifting

from a local emission solution to a strategic priority for ship owners.

“What are the biggest barriers to adoption and what needs to happen next?”

To get the answers, search for Maritime Impact on your favorite podcast platform. Stay tuned. Was it complicated, political figure? I'm guessing Han John McCain, or having very complicated conversations right now.

If they are in the same place.

Yeah, it's interesting. It's interesting. It is interesting isn't it? Well, over on Capitol Hill, everyone's paying their respects to the late Senator Lindsey Graham. He was known to reach across the aisle during much of his time on Capitol Hill, which we would like to see more of.

Especially on major issues a lot of us are facing. This is Alex Hoyer, Washington Times, Editor at Large, in for my mentor and friend Chris Plant still on vacation.

One of those bipartisan issues is basically crime that we're seeing in being families every day American families in cities across the country.

It's something my next guest, Gianna Caldwell, knows too well. He's a Fox News political analyst and he founded the Caldwell Foundation for Public Safety.

“I am excited to welcome him in and get into a pretty heavy, meaty topic that I think it should be discussed daily.”

We don't want to lose any more young lives Gianna, do I have you on the line? Yeah, some here. Great to be with you. Thank you for having me. Yeah, of course.

Thank you for taking time. I know last weekend you organized a march and it's in memory of your younger brother who I know you last four years ago. You know, one of the things that you wrote a few items on Fox News.com and your op-ed about that experience just last weekend. And one thing I noticed that you mentioned is that you really want to draw attention to getting blue politicians from blue states involved in y'all's efforts, meeting with community leaders, members, drawing awareness to increase in crime rates.

One of the things you said is you invited the governor, the mayor, but nobody came, is that correct? Yeah, so just to give folks the backdrop, June 24th, 2022, my life changed forever when my innocent teenage baby, where the Christian was murdered in Chicago, and since then I've been out for justice, not just for him, but families all across the country who have experienced this devastation of crime and violence in our country. So I started to call a list of different public safety brought, invited on people like Pam Bondi, our former attorney general, Dr. Rupenski,

Congress of Berges, Owens, and many, many others who joined and formed the Institute and the Cobalt Foundation for Public Safety, which is all about education, and schools, public safety, human trafficking, etc. The Cobalt Foundation arranged the march, and it wasn't just in my brother's Christian's memory, which obviously I'm very thoughtful of, but this is a memory of all the people we've lost across the country, families that are grieving, whether it be a shooting that takes place on their block, or a human trafficking event, or some illegal alien committing murder, things that impact all of us in one way or another, or could impact all of us in one way or another.

That was what this march was all about. We had people show up from all over the state, actually, but the people who create the policy and who have created devastating policy and what it devastating policy, like the elimination of cash bail, which was something that started out at Illinois, the Safety Act, again something started out at Illinois. Many, many of these failed policies, Democrats like J.V. Pritzker and Mayor Brandon Johnson had endorsed and created, which has led to the devastation of family.

So, absolutely, I invited them, because we're nonpartisan and on the foundation side. So, yeah, you're invited, come see the devastation that your policies have caused on these families last, and no, they did not show up. Not only did they not show up, we emailed them, we called them, I've invited them on TV, even the op-edature mentioning on foxnays.com, none of them responded.

“Yeah, and that tells you everything you need to know about these elected decisions, and these blue states of cities, they don't care about the citizens more often than not.”

That's what I was trying to get at them, them not coming and answering questions and having any sort of accountability for their policies, which I do want to get into a little bit more with you, but first, you know, do you think it's also, because we're here over and over again, that crime is going down in big cities.

Yes, we're talking about, from last year, the same time as last year, there's been an increase. Yes, and when we talk about a decrease in crime across the country, that isn't because of blue city governors.

“And blue city mayors, that that's not what it's about. It's what the acts of the Trump administration have taken, close in the border, popping up flow of drugs coming into our country.”

The robust efforts we saw, and a lot of these states to get some of these illegal aliens out of here, and the infusion of FBI resources, and some of these more local investigations, that's been the cause and the reason for the reduction. So we can clap with what the president and his attorney generals have done. I'm talking to Pam Bonnie, and now we got time blanch. We can applaud that. We can applaud some of the work that FBI has been doing. We can applaud the work. I've just been doing, but it's not because of them, it's despite them. That's right. Yeah, and it's a, it's really, it should be a bipartisan issue. Unfortunately, there seems to be a lack of bipartisanship nowadays. One of the issues, especially is surrounding, like you mentioned, closing the border, safety there, sanctuary city policies. I know is something you pointed to as an issue that has created and led to increased crime.

In making cities like Chicago and save cash bail. I know you hit on Illinois for what it's done with the eliminating cash bail. Can you expand on that and explain to the audience, like, how that is a critical factor in what's happening on the streets of cities like Chicago, Washington, DC, New York, all that's it.

“And that's a really, I think that's a great question that you ask, because most people, maybe not even realize this, although people know the Chicago is a very unsafe city, people get that piece.”

But they don't know a lot of these very left-lating, soft on crime policies start in Chicago, they start in Illinois, the elimination cash bail, they'll be at the safety act, which is the name of the policy that they utilize.

I think darkness across the state, because in some instances, for example, you go out and, you know, someone is alleged to have murdered someone.

Well, they have a set up now where they have over a hundred plus people who've been accused of murder with ankle monitor bracelets, so everyone knows what those are. You're not supposed to be able to leave your house, but with the safety act policy, which eliminates cash bail, it also allows for, with these ankle monitor bracelets, the police cannot respond to someone who may have tempered with their bracelets, someone who may have left their home, someone who may have left their home, they'll kill the witness for 72 hours. So you get three days to go out and commit a number of crimes before the police have an opportunity to even respond.

It's just non-sensical things that I don't understand how to even come up with these ideas, but how is it they even got them passed. Well, I mean, it's you look at places like Illinois, it's a one-party state, so Democrats run everything, just like in California, Democrats run everything, just like in New York State, Democrats run everything, so when you see how badly these states and cities are declining,

look directly at the leadership and it tells the entire story, these things are happening for reason, your service has been very impactful, unfortunately,

and confusing capital, and in some cases not even his own money used in our money, and we know this from what the work that those did, we saw that some of the organizations that he's funded, receiving federal dollars, so they were using federal dollars to do some of this destructive policy work. So we recognize that this didn't just all of a sudden happen, it happened because of the leadership,

who's gone so far left, they fell off a cliff. Yeah, one of the things you talk about, like we've been mentioning politicians, but from my legal background,

“it also, you know, I think has to do with judges to their choice to go ahead exactly, and their choice to allow these these policies where it's like here,”

we're going to give this defendant sign here that you're going to return and what is it 30 days, maybe another month, two months, to before me, and then releases them into the streets, and instead of choosing, you know, to keep them behind bars, I know here in DC that happened, the guy went out and committed a murder at a hotel, not too far from the Washington Times where I work. So yeah, I think activist judges are also a problem that need to be addressed, and that's, unfortunately, that should really be, that should also be a bipartisan issue,

No, and you're 100% right, and that the call of a list of the public safety, go to callolestitute.org and support our emphasis there. We've highlighted a number of these activist judges, and you can see, again, our work at callolestitute.org, on this very issue, because it shouldn't be partisan.

We should view things through the lens of justice and fairness, but more often than not, under the guise of criminal justice reform, they've created instances of justice for the criminal.

“I mean, that's what it is. How many victims have to be created before everyone says enough is enough.”

Publicans are saying enough is enough, but what on the Democrats are going to say enough is enough? Well, it's not. They're only encouraging more lawlessness. You're right, and I know your organization is non-partisan. I might be a little bit partisan with what I'm about to say, but one of the concerns I think I have, and probably many voters across the country, is when we're seeing some of these candidates that are winning primaries and talking about like, you know, abolishing prisons.

And what they would like to do with the justice system, I think that's a worry some in terms of what it could encourage criminals to do.

When there's no accountability, I want to play a quick cut for you. It was Scott Bessant. He was on the Hannity show, and he mentioned some of this socialism kind of rise that's going on in some of these candidates with their plans are. They're not shown, but you know, who was on to this early on, like he is, so many things will present a Trump when Marimondami came to the oval in November after he had won. He was smiling, but President Trump said, "You're the leader of the Democratic Party." And the Democratic Party, this is now the center of the party now. This is the center of gravity for this party.

“And look, remember Bernie Sanders used to be a group of one. Now, I think he said there's 35 candidates running.”

Yeah, so I wanted to play that just because he mentioned 35 potential, like I guess, DSA aligned candidates. I know at least six, as of July, have won primaries. And as I mentioned, their platform is getting rid of prisons. That's what some of them have spoken about.

You know, I come from a legal background. I believe the harsher of the punishment, the more you deter crime. I wanted to give you a second to kind of expand on that.

And are you concerned with some of the candidates you're seeing put forward and what it could do for your mission with the called wall foundation for public safety? Okay, and I want to give this distinction to the colorless, the two public safety is our C4R. We are very political. We get involved in elections. That's one time the foundation doesn't get involved in any elections or any of the politics that is nonpartisan. That's our C3. So for speaking, putting on my C4 hat and understanding a very real element here, which is the Democratic party is dead, the socialist killed it, like they plainly killed it.

“The truth is over the last 10 years, we've seen a 600% increase in those in the Democratic socialist party in terms of them being elected at all. 600% increase. They started off with 35 elected members.”

Now they have over 200. And they're going to gain more because this is the direction the Democratic party has taken on. And you know this because they're winning in major cities. D.C. is an example. I think something may happen in Los Angeles. We may see a Democratic socialist there. Chicago, New York is the crown jewel of Democratic socialism now at this point. And what they want to do is dangerous for our society. We're going to eliminate prisons. We're going to defund the police. Are you serious?

Yeah, I know. It sounds like the Democrats are capitulating to it. It sounds like something out of an SNL skit on elections, but thank you so much, Gianna Codwell, for taking time to talk with me about this important issue. In memory of your brother, this is Alex Swer, Washington Times editor at Large in for Chris Plant. We'll be right back. Scrolling with Hayley. I'm Hayley Carania. I scrolled with the homies here in the live chat because there was a lot to scroll through on X on Instagram on TikTok, cutting through the clutter. One hot take at a time.

When you all in the chat before the show, I tried to jump in just a few minutes before to say hello. I love the chat interaction. Thank you for helping. But I do it to get all the videos and all the content that you won't find anywhere else. Scrolling with Hayley. Dissearch that up and I will be there. Follow and listen on your favorite platform. Good morning, Alex Swer editor at Large in for my mentor and friend Chris Plant who is on vacation still. I have enjoyed guest hosting yesterday.

And I just saw what are my friends from the daily caller Ashley Rossfield. She has an interesting scoop and exclusive that is out.

“It reads GOP leaders circulate talking points to Quash Save America Act revolt. Ashley, are you there?”

I am here. Go ahead. Thank you for joining me. Okay, tell me what is what is happening. Are they trying to do away with any questions from any of their maga base that's like, what's going on? Why haven't you passed this? Yeah, I think it's obvious questions that you know anyone in the media that's a good reporter would ask about something like the Save America Act, which has a high percentage of the Republican base that you know is supportive of it in a lot of ways.

I mean, you've seen people like Senator Mike Lee had this. Many people in the house, the House Freedom Caucus has been.

Some of the forefront of pushing this and giving pressure on Senate leadership to put this legislation forward. And I would say one of the people that is kind of the barriers has been John through himself because of the idea of the talking filibuster, but also a name we all know. Our speaker or a few of the senior majority leader, Mitch McConnell, that has been kind of opposed to this legislation with their argument primarily being that it is nationalizing elections.

“So I think the main argument here though is this document that came out from the report that kind of outlines these talking points that they've been doing and we all kind of with politics. We all know they do this.”

I mean, it's saying the quiet card all out. Yes, so they're basically telling them like, hey, if you're asked about it, say we don't have the votes essentially like I want to pass it, but we don't have the votes.

But you yourself have reported about the talking filibuster that there's ways around this. Can you explain a little bit of that real quick and then you know it.

Why aren't they scared of being primary? I would think that they would be. Yeah, and you know, this is some of the GOP's top election integrity legislation that's supported by the president. The president's even called on them to either invoke the talking filibuster. Or anything to get this thing done. I had a midterms is essentially what's being said. I would say yes, you would think they would be worried, but it doesn't seem they are and people like John corn and are also against this. Obviously he went lost his primary in Texas.

But I mean, this this I will say the document came from the Senate Republicans conference, which is headed by Senator Tom cotton of Arkansas. So we reached out to people I jumped in and Tom cotton to ask them, you know, can you comment on this and confirm the validity of the document and of course we got no response back, which may say a thousand words just in that I would say.

“But I think that the American people, especially after the 2020 election and you know, President Trump himself had been very vocal in the issue and heading into the midterms I believe we're under a hundred days now.”

It's limited time and so whether this thing gets done through reconciliation, whether it's done through, you know, just a broader bill, they've attached to several things it just seems like the Senate is going to strip it. Whatever is put forward in front of them at that point unfortunately. One of the other things that I know you've kind of been tracking I'm going to hit you with something and I have about 30 seconds is any update on Mitch you mentioned Mitch McConnell any update on his health. Well, we had a letter actually come through today the Daily Colour News Foundation reports in the Colts of area.

There was a letter from a governor Andy Bashir getting him an ultimatum to provide proof of capacity to serve or resign and he is apparently not exactly ready to go for it on the floor and the Senate he's missed I think over 30 boats currently so I think a lot of the American people are so wondering when are we going to see him again. I think that's true probably Todd Blanch too also thinking about his confirmation vote, but thank you so much Ashley Brassfield with the Daily Colour. This is Alex Swear editor at large at the Washington Times in for Chris Flint. We'll be right back after the break.

Good morning Alex Swear editor at large for the Washington Times and their legal affairs reporter covering the Supreme Court and all things legal. In for my mentor and friend Chris Plant who is still on a cruise cruising through life having some fun. I am so happy to have joined you guys yesterday and today holding down the fort it's an honor to sit in his chair. One of the thing I mean there's just been so much kind of things to look forward to obviously today the president meeting with Zelensky and Netanyahu and then of course he's going to be delivering a speech in just about a couple hours.

The uology that is at Senator Graham's funeral on Capitol Hill. And then we look at tomorrow and what's dominating social media seems to be these Anthony Fauci Diaries. The revelations that he was taking credit privately for some of the school closures in California New York.

He'll have to answer questions on Capitol Hill tomorrow. That'll be interesting to watch for sure.

So shortage of news Thursday. It looks like Todd Blanche. His confirmation as attorney general will be put to the test. The Senate Judiciary Committee is going to be holding a vote. A panel vote on his confirmation and that'll be kind of where we see some of these.

“Republicans like Senator John Corne and Senator Tillis to have, you know, wanted to kind of go after president Trump. If they're going to throw a hurdle up in this nomination or not, we'll see what happens there.”

But for now, I am joined by David Avella. He is the go-pack chairman and they focus on creating jobs getting government spending under control. Maybe America say, you know, everything common sense that you as voters want to see. David, thanks for joining me. I want to start with something I saw that I thought was very interesting. It was out from Nate Silver. And he kind of takes a look at the DSA, this Democrat associate, so Democratic Socialists of America. I can't even say it. But they're kind of sweet spot. He argues with Americans, I guess, is the highly educated, but downwardly mobile.

He's basically saying those are supporting these Democratic Socialists candidates seem to be, according to his stats and data, highly educated, but lower income.

And then he contrasts that with Republican voters and he says it's not necessarily any sort of, you know, economic anxiety that Republicans have. It's more that he's finding that they're higher earners that who may not have gone to college. What do you make of that? And how do you think this is going to play with, I mean, in some of these primaries we're seeing? You see it in how Democrats even team messages is that ultimately someone has done better in life. And that shouldn't have happened and we have to stop them.

“It's ultimately the message that you get out of Democratic Socialists and somehow American success isn't for you and you should be agreed by it.”

And you hear that in messaging after messaging and that we have to put guardrails on these people we have to.

It's quite frankly the antithesis of what has ultimately made America the greatest nation there is.

And unfortunately, unfortunately, I suppose for one year leaves a Republican organization like I do that, you know, it sets up a very clear contrast coming into these elections. That we can easily make this a choice election for voters, you know, do you believe in a system that with hard work with pursuing your dreams that you can have a quality of life that is what you want. Is what you want or do you want a government coming in and making those decisions for you? That's at the core that this is what this election ultimately boils down to.

And fortunately for us, they continue nominating GSA candidates that want to make a very different America than what you and I have known and what most of the American knows.

“Yeah, and so you should fortunately for for Republicans, does that so I'm getting I'm gathering from you, you think that these far left progressive candidates are going to help Republicans in the midterm.”

It's not that they would be a threat. Is that accurate? Okay. Well, I mean, we we have our work cut out for as we have to beat them, but you know, you think about Michigan where you know, if L Said, who is a proud DSA candidate. If he gets the nomination, it's great.

This is a chance that the Republican nominee for Psoon to be my Rogers has a chance in that right. But chance to win, though I will say this, Alex, as much as we talk about main being a competitive state. Susan Collins has won by an average of 18 points during her tenure in the Senate. And including when she was on the ballot in 2020, when President Trump didn't hear him main and everyone thought she would lose in fact every poster.

Main and Susan Collins have this special relationship somehow that most pollsters and national puns and don't get. I say all that to say, we have a great chance to hold the Senate, I would actually offer to you. We have a chance to pick up one or two seats whether that be Michigan or or even new Hampshire with Chris Sinuno. So the Senate is in play and you keep these DSAers telling us what they believe and increases our chances to take to keep the US out. Yeah, it does seem in purple areas and where there's a strong Republican candidate, even like out in California not purple, but Steve Hilton has run a strong campaign.

Democrats to be somewhat formidable have to go after or pick a moderate, which in some of these races that you just mentioned, they are not doing. Susan Collins is an interesting one. I remember when Platner was still in the race, I looked back at polling in 2020 you mentioned.

“She was down like eight points but outperformed and one here, I think she's neck and neck, so it does suggest that, you know, she's going to come out on top there despite what all we've heard for months it seems.”

It's in many ways, the large in there it is here, the large reality is that 30 Sanders is finally getting his revenge. He wasn't, he won, he ran numerous times for president and wasn't successful.

And ultimately he decided, I'm going to take my ideas and give them to this next generation and go find, go find a younger whether that be AOC and go down the list of their nondomy in New York. I'm going to let them take the message and run, but that I'm going to help them and every one of them, every one of them has Bernie Sanders support and his network that help them and that he has ultimately decided the best way for him to get, he's on started this democratic socialist message. Right, right, Medicare for all his wish list that we come to learn since 2016.

And this is, you know, ultimately this is kind of keep Bernie Sanders legacy, this generation now of candidates who are taking his ideas and running, running in very democratic areas and being successful, but is that going to play in New Hampshire and Michigan and Pennsylvania, I would offer to you all. Right, the thing that I find interesting about that is like it seems like this wing of the party is growing and I think it's because the Democratic party did it to itself for two reasons. One, they've allowed the socialist to run under the Democrat party ticket.

I know the Charlie rules on balladings state to state, but then also, you know, the treatment of Bernie Sanders back in 2016.

“If you remember, there was like fundraising, I think going on with the DNC in Clinton campaign.”

There was kind of some emails, I think that were leaked that showed like mocking of Sanders. They're, they just, they kind of did this to themselves by angering that part of the base. There was something I wanted to, there's a cut, I want to go to you, we're talking about Michigan. So Senator Warren kind of commented on the Michigan race there. It's cut 10, I'm going to have you react to it after we take a listen.

The money is pouring in from the outside. Big farm, it does not want someone who's talking about how to bring down the cost of healthcare. Crypto does it want someone who is talking about how to have a fairer system. And that's a pack is coming in spending a lot of money there.

Sixty million dollars committed for what to try to stop him from becoming the democratic nominee.

So I see this and the way I kept hearing it framed, it's, it's the many versus the money. You know, David, one of the things that kind of, the narrative, though, is it kind of reminds me.

“Remember President Trump was very transparent in his first campaign.”

He talked about funding his own presidential campaign back in 2016, not wanting to take money from donors. Is that like kind of what they're, this now, I guess, wave is trying to do, to make big farm a bookie man, crypto a bookie man. And of course, a pack. They have been trying to do that, or they do that, not having to try and they do that every election in recent memory. Now, of course, the question would be, is that was, hey, least even think about that.

Haley Steven's of course being the congresswoman who's running against IE and ultimately, she's the one benefiting the most quite frankly from this spending.

And then, ultimately, is Elizabeth Warren still opposed, if Haley Steven's then becomes the nominee in these days, then what does she think about that funding that she received?

Yeah, the other thing, you know, like going after APAC, and then it brings me to Mamdoni, and some of his remarks, and basically also targeting Netanyahu claiming that, you know, he should be arrested, all of that. I guess I'll go ahead, I'll play a cut of Mamdoni recently too, and then I'll have, I want you to tell me your thoughts on what this is doing. I mean, the Jewish voters are part of the Democratic Party, they've been a big part of the base. Let's go to cut 12 real quick. My responsibility as a New Yorker and as a mayor of this city is a responsibility to take care of each and every person who calls the city their home, and that is not based upon whether or not they agree with me, how they feel about me.

My job is to make sure that they are safe, that they are thriving, and they continue to call this city home, and that's always going to be my North Star.

“That's his North Star David. What do you think about, what about the Jewish voting block? Is there room for Republicans to pick from there for the midterms?”

Absolutely, for those who believe that the mayor's comments that you keep American safe by enforcing laws and putting criminals in jail and prosecuting those who commit crimes. Yes, you should do that, but me and those with the DSA and the progressive law all advocate for ideas to do just the opposite of that, whether it be funding police, whether that's ending bail, whether that, and go down the list of all the anti safety anti security ideas that they have and they push. That's the exact opposite, and then to your question for those who say, well, you could say that among many groups that Republicans need to gain, I would offer.

Whether that be minority voters, whether that be Jewish voters, Hispanic voters, you know, go down the list.

They give us the DSA ideas give us an opportunity to expand this coalition and put our ideas in place to keep Americans economic and personal security first and foremost.

“Yeah, I have about a minute and a half. I'm going to play real quick one more clip. I want to touch on Iran. I think Iran has been a big issue with voters. I think Republicans ahead of the midterms really want something to be wrapped up there.”

Cut 17 is President Trump basically talking about patients with Iran. I have a lot of patients. I have plenty of time, plenty of time. They're all tourlines wiped out. The straight is in very good shape and we're talking right now. You know, they wanted to talk. People said, please don't drop. Don't you last night the night before, do nights. Don't do it. You know, we're having good talks. So we'll see what happens. I think there's a good chance. It's something going to happen. In the last minute, I have. How big of a deal is Iran on voters minds ahead of the midterms? Do Republicans need this to to be put to bed?

Well, what we need to keep doing is making the life more affordable. And if getting a solution in Iran helps bring down debt prices and ultimately all of life becomes cheaper energy prices are lower. That is a big deal. Beyond that, we need to keep talking to Americans about how we are going to make life more affordable. And keep part of this with the dealing with Iran is helping Americans understand why we're there and why we need to finish the job.

That becomes really critical because you look at survey research and many American still question why we're doing it.

Trying to bring stability to the Middle East, trying to bring stability to energy market and supporting those who have supported us throughout the Middle East. Was that the Jewish or Arab friend?

“Yeah, I think you hit the nail on the head when you brought up the whole affordability issue, the one topic that seems to come to mind when I've talked to anyone.”

No matter where they live is gas prices. I mean, I even like to drive out a DC to get my gas now because of how much it costs. It's better to go into Virginia. But thank you so much David for joining me, David Avella with full pack. I appreciate you. This is Alex Swear, editor at Large of the Washington Times. And for my good friend Chris Plant, it's been an honor to sit in his chair as he's been vacationing. Thank you for listening. Stay tuned into WMAL.

Legal Affairs reporter, too. I cover it all. All ticks and the courts. You can find me over there or also on social media a Swear.

I love to sitting in for Chris Plant. The yesterday and today, thank you to his team for having me. It's been a real joy. He is on vacation.

“You will have other guests host later this week. While he's still soaking up the sun, I think over in the Mediterranean, I hope.”

I'm going to have to like send him a little message about souvenirs to bring back, maybe. Hopefully he's sitting some Prosecco. We'll see. But I also want to recap some big news. My background.

I mentioned law fair. Previously, I cover the courts. These diaries that have come out from Anthony Fauci.

He will be testifying on Capitol Hill before taking center's questions tomorrow. We're going to pay attention and see if he says anything under oath tomorrow that conflicts with what he said previously when he's testified, whether it's related to the origins of COVID, maybe lockdowns.

“I think there could be some ways that he might step in the mud there. Of course, he has that pardon president Biden issued him.”

So, we'll have to see if there's any work around there. Of course, I'd love to cover it on my court beat, especially something like that, one of the Supreme Court.

That would be a field day for a reporter. Also, Biden and his tapes that are out with his ghost writer showing his memory lapses and also classified material acknowledging that, you know, stuff is classified. Will there be any accountability there? That is the big question. We know Jack Smith went after President Trump for classified information, but will the Trump DOJ do anything with what appears to be President Biden either lacking memory and his use of the auto pin,

“which is a question that I know some Republican lawmakers have been digging into or some of his references to this classified material.”

Maybe something to watch. Maybe we can ping Todd Blanch on that, who's looking at a confirmation vote Thursday in the Senate judiciary committee. We're going to see what Senator Cornin and Senator Tillis who have done what they can to throw road blocks up in President Trump's agenda out of kind of personal animosity, what they're going to do there. But it won't be a short day for news. I expect to hear more from President Trump about what's going on with Ukraine and also his meeting with Netanyahu earlier today,

following his time at Lindsey Graham's funeral over on Capitol Hill, where he is delivering the uology. Thanks for having me, Alex Swear, Washington Times, editor at large. Scrolling with Hayley, I'm Hayley Karenia. I scrolled with the homies here in the live chat because there was a lot to scroll through on X on Instagram on TikTok, cutting through the clutter. One hot take at a time. Love seeing you all in the chat before the show. I tried to jump in just a few minutes before to say hello.

I love the chat interaction. Thank you for helping. But I do it to get all the videos and all the content that you won't find anywhere else, scrolling with Hayley. to search that up and I will be there. Follow and listen on your favorite platform.
