So Down, verdict with Ted Cruz now, wherever you get your podcasts.
When I told people, I was making a podcast about Benghazi.
Nine times out of ten, they called me a masochist, rolled their eyes, or just asked why.
Benghazi, the truth became a web of lies.
From Prologue Projects and Pushkin Industries, this is Fiasco Benghazi.
What difference at this point does it make?
Listen to Fiasco Benghazi on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
All right, thank you, Scott Shannon, and thanks to all of you for being with us.
Write down our toll-free telephone number.
It's 800-941-SHAWN.
If you want to be a part of the program, we're monitoring a situation that has now been ongoing for a while at Florida State University.
I know Florida State University very, very well.
I spent many at Thanksgiving down there.
I don't know, for whatever reason, when my kids were young, they would have tournaments at in Tallahassee at Florida State.
Great college, great people.
Um I'm friends with a number of people down there.
There's some horrible videos online.
Can I just say something to the people that are posting videos of people that are shot?
Can you not do that?
Can you offer them some dignity and a little bit of privacy?
And uh one person I saw a video posted online of a young girl that was shot, motionless, not moving, blood coming out all over her back, and the person films it and just keeps on walking.
Yeah, you just and the other videos you can hear the shots being fired, etc.
etc.
I did get a second hand report from a friend of a friend that was on the university that initially that there was one student that they thought might be the person involved in the shooting.
It turned out, and again, I'm not confirmed, not trying to rush ahead of everybody, but a very reliable source in my mind that a person, a student might have had their own firearm and actually taken a shot, maybe even gotten the shooter, so we don't know.
But as of now, um confirmed five dead, four injured, maybe more.
Uh they suspect two shooters, one is dead, one in custody now, so we are expecting probably at some point.
The president has been briefed on this.
Our prayers are with the families.
This is like a worst nightmare.
You send your kid off to college.
Who who would ever want this?
It is uh so sad, so unbelievable, which kind of brings us to how this story now has just exploded and exploded and exploded as it relates to, well, first of all, this idiot Senator from Maryland.
It it is it is mind-numbing to me.
Senator Chris Van Holland.
You know, here's a guy from Maryland.
Do you know that Rachel Moran, the mother of five, is from Maryland?
Patty Moran, who was on my TV show two nights ago, was from uh well, her mother from Maryland.
And that this guy, Senator Van Holland, never took the time, just like Joe never took the time, just like Kamala never took the time, just like Alejandro Mayorcas never took the time.
Nobody took the time to pick up their damn phone and call people in their State and offer their sympathy and condolences, and maybe it would have been a little bit smart for the senator to realize oh, Joe Biden's open borders are not a good thing for America, and now we know 10, 12, 14 million, whatever the number is, it's it's in you know 10 plus million.
It's at least 10, probably closer to 15 million illegals unvetted in our country, including, as I often say, known terrorists, murderers, rapists, cartel members, gang members, and here is a young woman from this idiot state.
He's an idiot.
He's a you know, and a showboater, and he's you know, this is like liberal leftist performative art.
And now he's I am going down to El Salvador to get this individual that was unfairly sent.
Okay, we're gonna get to him in a second.
But Rachel Morin, brutally raped and murdered by this illegal from El Salvador, and on a Maryland hiking trail, and he can't be bothered to even call the family.
I couldn't believe when I asked Patty Moran uh whether that senator called no, he didn't call.
Joe didn't call, Kamala didn't call, Alejandro didn't call.
Donald Trump called.
Donald Trump called the Riley family, Lake and Riley's family.
I I talked to all three families, Jocelyn Nungarry being the other one.
You know, this uh there was another woman in Maryland by the name, and probably most of you have not heard of her.
Kayla Hamilton, another one raped and murdered in her home of Maryland by another illegal immigrant again from El Salvador.
And Chris von Holland expressed zero public outrage, nothing.
He did and said nothing.
But now you have a citizen from El Salvador who entered our country illegally, and by the way, accused not once but twice by his wife of assaulting him.
And it's kind of hard for victims of domestic violence to go forward and go to a court and get a restraining order, but she did it.
She did it twice.
Why she is now trying and championing his return.
I don't know, that's something I get it's I gotta bring Dr. Drew in for an answer for that, because I'm not that person because it makes no sense to me.
I know it's called battered wife syndrome.
There's it's a a common, it's sort of like, you know, what do they call it?
Um remember Patty Hearst had a Stockholm syndrome.
Some people begin to uh somehow have sympathy psychologically for their captors or their abusers.
It's it's a very real phenomenon.
I'm not judging the people for having it in any way.
I don't want it to be misinterpreted.
But anyway, this guy from El Salvador was credibly accused by our federal government under not one but two administrations of violent gang activity.
And now that this guy's been deported back to his home country, on top of the fact that he didn't respect our laws, our borders, and our sovereignty.
Now the guy that didn't get upset at all about Kayla Hamilton or Rachel Morin, and and couldn't be bothered to call their families and and express their deepest sympathies and condolences.
No, this guy has been rushing in front of every TV microphone, putting every single social media post anyone could ever want to put up there, thinking he's the great El Salvadorian prisoner uh influencer out there, and you know, giving one impassioned plea after another.
Now he got smoked yesterday, goes to El Salvador.
I just arrived in El Salvador, and I'm going to try to meet with this Marylander.
He's not a Marylander.
And anyway, so he's rushed in front of every camera.
They wouldn't even let him talk to the guy on the phone.
Thank goodness the president of El Salvador.
He's cracked down on the cartels, the gang members, the people that took control of that country, and it's become a better country by putting criminals in jail where they belong and making them very notoriously tough and brutal in these jails.
Anyway, today, so he goes to El Salvador, uh, one of the most the dumbest, most idiotic, pointless performative art moments of the left.
And I thought the joint session was pretty bad when the Democrats, not one of them would stand for the mothers of slain children of the illegals.
Uh, there were two of them, Lakin Riley's family, and Jocelyn Nungary's mom, uh, Alexis, was there, and they couldn't bother to stand for those parents that lost their children.
They didn't stand for the young man that lost cancer on that beat cancer and had been given a death sentence about cancer.
They couldn't stand for the wife of a slain officer hero.
They couldn't stand for a young man who lost his father and found out that very night that he got a commission of West Point.
No, they were too busy holding up their bingo cards and and acting uh out like petulant little children.
Anyway, so today, you know, it's like so he goes to El Salvador, doesn't even get a phone call with the guy, and the media, of course, wants to eat it up, and the media's been doing the same exact thing.
I think we have the montage, and I'll get to that in a second.
He's from Maryland.
He's a Marylander.
No, he's not a Marylander.
He's an El Salvadorian.
Can we please get this right?
He left empty-handed.
Couldn't get a phone call with this guy, much less secure the release as he was claiming he went there to do.
But he's still vowing to bring him home.
Hell will freeze over, is my prediction before he gets to bring this guy home.
MS 13 is now, since Donald Trump got into office, a designated terrorist organization.
Not one court judge, but two court judges determined that he is an MS 13 gang member.
Now, do I know for sure?
No, but I kind of trust the judges in that case, because they had to make the determination.
And anyway, I just got to clear up for everybody.
He's not a man from Maryland.
He's not a Marylander.
He's an El Salvadorian.
And like every other Democrat and everyone in the state-run legacy media mob, as corrupt as they are, they're out there claiming.
A Marylander.
He's from Maryland.
This man from Maryland.
He's not only not from Maryland, he's not an American.
He's not Van Holland's constituent.
He was in our country illegally.
He had no right to be here.
Rachel Moran was an uh a Marylander, as was this this other woman, Kate Kayla Hamilton.
And they should still be here with their families.
Rachel's five children and her mother will never see this their mother again or their daughter again.
And idiots like this, as far as I'm concerned, they all have blood on their hands because he sat by idly and silently as Joe lied to the country.
Kamala lied to the country.
Chris Ray allowed them to break the laws.
It was systemic law breaking.
And this is the result of it.
And we're going to feel it probably for the next decade at least, knowing we still have tons of known terrorists in the country, but we don't know that where they are.
Murderers, rapists, cartel members, gang members.
We haven't gotten rid of them all.
As good a job as the president's doing.
How do you find all these people?
This guy is a disgrace to the entire state of Maryland and all the real Marylanders.
You know, the guy's from El Salvador.
I don't know.
But why won't he take the time and call Rachel Moran's mother Patty?
I had her on TV two nights ago.
And Caroline Levitt, um, you know, smacked down with a smile as we like to introduce her.
Uh she brought her into the White House briefing room yesterday.
You know what?
After she was done talking, it was just not appropriate to take any questions, and she walked off the podium, which I was glad to see.
Well, she did walk off the podium, and then the reporters started to say, we are so sorry.
One reporter tried to ask a question who was shut down by Caroline, and then Patty turned around and said, All I ask of you is to tell the truth.
Please tell the truth.
She shut the room down for sure.
Shut it down.
And those people never shut up.
I don't like talk show hosts, but I get paid to talk.
That's your job.
Okay, we're gonna be quiet.
Okay.
That's super weird, too.
You know, like when you're quiet like that.
Although, if you need my help, I'm here for you, boss.
Okay, I don't want to scare.
I don't want to scare the audience away.
We don't want that to happen.
Uh, but it's very frustrating to me.
Now, The wife of the Democrats' favorite deported illegal now says she lied to police when she claimed that he repeatedly beat beat her.
Now, the last time I checked, is it not a crime to file a false police report?
And in her own handwriting.
All right, but exactly.
That's exactly what the wife of this Democratic Party hero, superhero, uh, Mr. Garcia, the El Salvadorian, is now claiming she did in 2021 that she told Marilyn Cops that he grabbed her, punched her, beat her with his boot, and smacked her in the eye, leaving her bruised and bleeding, and told cops I have multiple photos and videos of how violent he can be.
Now she says she made the whole thing up despite all the photographic evidence.
You know what she does have?
I'm not sure I want your answer to that, your own question, so I'm not asking.
She has a GoFundMe.
Oh, she does.
Indeed, she does.
In an exclusive statement to Newsweek, Jennifer Vasquez Surah responded to the Department of Homeland Security and their release of court filings where she alleged the domestic violence, not on by the way, on two separate occasions.
And the documents include her 2021 request for a protective order in which she accused her husband of punching and scratching her, ripping her shirt, leaving her bruised.
Quote, after surviving a domestic violence in a previous relationship, I acted out of caution following a disagreement by seeking a civil protective order in case things escalated.
Things did not escalate, and I decided not to follow through with the civil court process.
We were able to work through the situation.
So now she's claiming that she lied to the police and made false statements to the court in an attempt to frame an innocent man.
The Marylander who's really an El Salvadorian.
Oh, this takes on a whole new meaning for everybody.
Anyway, she that's what that's what she claimed.
That he he grabbed, punched, scratched, left her bruised and bleedy.
By the way, fake news CNN, MSDNC refused to air Patty Moran with Caroline Levitt at the White House yesterday.
And they wonder why I say legacy state-run legacy media, the mob is dead.
By the way, idiot James Carble, crazy, crazy carble, now says top Democrats' top agenda needs to bring back the MS-13 guy.
That should be their top you keep going, James.
You keep opening that mouth, and you fall right into it every single time.
800 94.
Now I'm worked up.
Now I'm pissed off because this thing pisses me off.
This is all preventable.
We're gonna, it's it's not if it's when we're gonna be hit with a terrorist attack in this country.
There's gonna be more innocent people murdered, raped, victims of violent crimes, more dead children because of fentanyl, opioids, and all the drugs being brought across our wide open borders of Biden.
Thank goodness Donald Trump has done a great job.
He's he sealed up the border.
The border sealed up.
It's like, all right, now we we plugged the hole in the boat.
Now we gotta bail out all the water bail out all the water that means deport all the criminals.
Hey there.
I'm Mary Catherine Hammond.
And I'm Carol Markowitz.
We've been in political media for a long time.
Long enough to know that it's gotten, well, a little insane.
That's why we started normally a podcast for people who are over the hysteria and just want clarity.
We talk about the issues that actually matter to the country without panic, without yelling, and with a healthy dose of humor.
We don't take ourselves too seriously, but we do take the truth seriously.
So if you're into common sense, sanity, and some occasional sass.
You're our kind of people.
Catch new episodes of Normally every Tuesday and Thursday on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you listen.
I'm Ben Ferguson, and I'm Ted Cruz.
Three times a week we do our podcast, Verdict with Ted Cruz.

Every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, we break down the news and bring you behind the scenes inside the White House, inside the Senate, inside the United States Supreme Court.

So Delaware, verdict with Ted Cruz now, wherever you get your podcasts.
What I told people, I was making a podcast about Benghazi.
Nine times out of ten, They called me a masochist, rolled their eyes, or just asked why.
Benghazi, the truth became a web of lies.
It's almost a dirty word.
One that connotes conspiracy theory.
Will we ever get the truth about the Benghazi massacre?
Bad faith, political warfare, and frankly, bullshit.
We kill the ambassador just to cover something up.
You put two and two together.
Was it an overblown distraction or a sinister conspiracy?
Benghazi is a Rosetta Stone for everything that's been going on for the last 20 years.
I'm Leon Navok from Prolog Projects and Pushkin Industries.
This is Fiasco Benghazi.
What difference at this point does it make?
Yeah, that's right.
Locker up.
Listen to Fiasco Benghazi on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
By the way, the fake news CNN numbers cruncher Harry Anton cited four separate polls founding deportation support, uh, ranging from 55% of New York to 64% in the Marquette poll.
Who would be against it?
Oh, that's right.
Senator Van Holland.
Idiot that he is.
By the way, Thursday, Donald Trump will sign that rare earth mineral deal with Ukraine, according to the Washington Times.
Also, the Italian Prime Minister said that she will work closely with the president to get a free and fair trade deal on the heels of the Japanese representatives.
Uh, my source is telling me that a deal is somewhat imminent, that things went very well yesterday, in spite of all the craziness on wall street.
We'll continue.
All right.
25 now till the top of the hour, 800-941-SHAWN, on number, you want to be a part of the program.
I want to tell you about Stephen Dwyer's life's calling, and that was serving our country in the United States army.
He flew helicopters.
That was his passion.
Sadly, Stephen, he died in a Black Hawk helicopter crash over the Mediterranean.
But thanks to generous people like you and the Tunnel to Towers Foundation, you were able to provide his family with a mortgage-free home, giving them security and hope in their darkest hour.
Now, Tunnel to Towers provides mortgage-free homes for families of our current of our country's fallen heroes.
They build specially adapted smart homes for catastrophically injured heroes.
The foundation is also committed to eradicating homelessness among our vets and helping our nation keep its vow to never forget 9-1101.
Now please join us here at Team Hannity, and maybe this Passover, Easter week, you can donate and commit to donating eleven dollars a month so this great work continues.
If everyone listening to my voice goes to their website, you can make it happen.
It's the letter T, the number two, the letter T.org, the letter T, the number two, the letter T dot org for the Tunnel to Towers Foundation.
I am so furious.
He's a Marylander.
He's not a Marylander.
He's an El Salvadorian.
A bunch of lies.
Listen, listen to the onslaught.
Democrats, state-run legacy media mob.
Listen.
Exactly one month ago, the Trump administration abducted and imprisoned.
Stop, stop, stop, stop.
No.
We're starting with the radical conspiracy theorist peddler over at NBC News, Rachel Conspiracy Theorist Matt Ow.
Let's start.
Go ahead.
Exactly one month ago, the Trump administration abducted and imprisoned a Maryland man named Kilmar Abrego Garcia.
They flew him and hundreds of other men to a prison in El Salvador.
Tamar Abrego Garcia, the Maryland man, a Maryland's man.
Maryland man.
The growing calls to return the Maryland man, that Maryland man.
The Maryland man, that fate of that Maryland man.
In the case of a Maryland father, the wrongful deportation of a Maryland man to El Salvador, he is, of course, the Maryland man now held in El Salvador's mega prison.
He's not a Maryland man.
He's not a Marylander.
He's an El Salvadorian.
How do you like that?
And he's back in his home country.
He entered our country illegally.
800 941 Sean is our number if you want to be a part of the program.
All right, so uh great meetings yesterday with representatives of Japan.
Today, the Prime Minister of Italy meeting with President Trump saying that they're both confident.
And the the Prime Minister of Italy saying they're confident that a fair tariff agreement can be hammered out between the U.S. and the European Union.
That is good news, hopefully for world markets.
Anyway, uh Miss Maloney, uh by the way, I really like her.
She's a rock star.
Uh and good for Italy for making a uh turn towards conservatism.
Anyway, um the first European leader to meet with the president in Washington uh since this whole issue of tariffs has come up.
Well, why does the EU why do they get to sell fifty billion dollars worth of cars in the U.S. and we sell less than nine billion dollars of cars in in the European Union?
Because they have a 10% tariff, then they have a 20% VAT tax, which is a value added tax, and we only charge two and a half percent.
Does that sound fair, or does it sound like America's getting ripped off?
So sick of America getting ripped off.
The president is set to appoint a top hunter Biden whistleblower to head the IRS.
Remember Gary Shapley?
He testified to Congress 2022 that the Justice Department slow walk their inquiry into wrongdoing by zero experience hunter.
He was promoted last month to deputy chief of the IRS criminal investigations as a fellow whistleblower.
Uh Joseph Ziegler received a promotion to senior advisor for IRS reform.
Listen, I tell everyone to pay their taxes, and I mean it.
Um those are not words.
You don't want the IRS harassing you, and you don't want to risk you know putting your family in jeopardy.
Everyone has to pay taxes, and if you don't have to pay it, good for you.
I keep telling my account, pay my tax.
I still get audit, audit, audit, and it comes back every year.
Clean, clean, clean, clean.
I'm like, why do I have to keep paying accountants and lawyers all this money when you know I pay my taxes?
You have checked it out enough.
I don't take questionable deductions.
Sean, uh you probably are eligible for the I don't care.
Pay it.
That's what I say, because it's not worth it.
In the end, I'm gonna pay more lawyers and accountants.
It's so freaking annoying.
I don't mind paying my taxes.
Uh, we live in the greatest country God gave man.
By the way, uh Bobby Kennedy Jr. will be uh well, we're in DC, we're in the swamp.
He's gonna be on set with us uh tonight.
And anyway, he said his department is going to examine six environmental factors, which he said could lead to autism amid the rise of confirmed cases of this disorder.
I mean, the numbers are unbelievable.
Right now, the CDC has revealed that one in thirty-one children under eight are diagnosed with autism, up from one in fifty-four in 2016 and 150 in 2000.
And before that, it was never anywhere near.
How is that possible?
Something is radically, radically wrong.
And it's it's it's pretty unbelievable to me that Americans are not more alarmed about this than they should be.
Now, back to the economic front for just a second.
Europe is moving to end their dependence on Russian energy with a shift to buy American natural gas.
Now, as we're dealing with this issue of countries having the ability to decide, do you want free and fair trade or would you prefer reciprocal tariffs?
Maybe as part of that discussion, they might want to think about where they want to get their energy from.
Now we could very quickly be exporting uh uh liquefied natural gas, uh, as they say, LNG, to Europe if if they want.
Now, remember that I've told the story before, and in Donald Trump's first term, he hands Chancellor Angela Merkel a white flag of surrender.
She goes, What's this for?
What is this?
A flag of surrender.
You he goes, she goes, why are you giving me this?
Because you're surrendering.
She had just signed a multi, multi, multi-billion dollar deal with Russia.
Well, why are we part of NATO, which is largely designed to protect our European allies from any military threat that Putin and Russia may Cause European nations.
That's why.
Anyway, uh apparently the European Commission is working on a proposal to cut off Russian oil and gas imports, and especially after facing criticism for heavy dependence on Vladimir Putin for energy.
By the way, in we've made the same mistake in Europe, the same mistake in the Middle East.
Joe Biden did not enforce Donald Trump sanctions on the Iranians and and turned a blind eye to those those sanctions and gave waivers, specific waivers worth tens and tens of billions of dollars.
And in the case of Europe, they just kept doing deal after deal after deal with Vladimir.
You see a pattern here?
You see the Iranians got filthy rich.
They were on the brink of bankruptcy when Donald Trump left office the first time.
Vladimir Putin got filthy rich, and now we've got war in Europe because they have the money to fight it and the weaponry to to build it.
And and the same thing with the Iranians.
They've been fomenting terror.
They're the ones that plotted, planned and schemed with Hamas in Gaza, and they help Hezbollah and they help the Islamic Jihad and the Houthi rebels.
Why?
Because they got rich under Joe Biden.
Anyway, this is going to be a comprehensive plan to phase out Russian fossil fuels from the European energy market, and the deal may include increasing U.S. natural gas imports, which would be brilliant.
It would be in their best national security interest to do so.
The EU spent roughly 23 billion dollars on Russian oil and gas imports last year, surpassing the nineteen point six billion it provided in financial aid to Ukraine, which was a point Trump criticized in his joint address to Congress last month.
By the way, a bill is taking aim at IRS at the IRS that would strip the agency of of guns and ammo.
Another good move by the president.
And Trump tariffs talks heat up as they now look to isolate China.
Listen, if the world is smart, the world's not going to align itself with China because China puts tariffs that are massive on every single American item that anybody wants to import or export to China.
Pretty unbelievable.
And if you want to talk about sweatshops and unbelievable bordering on slave labor and horrible abuse of minorities inside of the Uyghurs, for example, I mean, how horribly is this minority in China being treated?
And how horrible are the people that work in those Chinese sweatshops, just so you can get a you know a cheap deal on sneakers.
As I mentioned, Trump will sign his mineral deal with Ukraine.
We expect next Thursday.
You know, I will tell you this.
When I heard before Donald Trump actually took the oath of office this time, the Fed chair, Jerome Powell, say that even if he gets fired, he's not leaving.
And then yesterday, uh stocks tanked after Powell has to stick his nose into the economy because he has a policy difference with President Trump and the top central bankers said this new wave of trade taxes significantly, you know, are are significantly larger than anticipated, adding that uh the same is likely to be true of the economic effects, which will include higher inflation and slow growth.
Why don't you wait for the outcome of this?
Now, Donald Trump posted a message on Truth Social that carried the strong suggestion that Powell's days in the position of Fed chair be numbered, which I actually fully support.
He said the EXP is expected to cut interest rates for the seventh time and yet too late.
Jerome Powell and the Fed, who is always too late and wrong, yesterday issued a report which is another and typical complete mess.
Oil prices are down, groceries, even eggs are down.
The USA is getting rich on tariffs.
We will get free and fair trade deals.
I'll add that part, or reciprocal tariffs.
That's something that no president has been able to accomplish in 50, 60 years.
And the the Fed chair gets a roaring applause from these imbeciles that don't care about Main Street.
I've never been the biggest fan of these jackasses on Wall Street.
When I lived in New York, I knew Too many of them.
And all they do, they make money, a lot of them when the stock market goes up and the stock market goes down.
Why haven't I never been a fan of the stock market?
Because if something is really good to get in on, they get in early because they have the inside scoop on it.
Well, Hannity, you're accusing people of insider trading.
They have knowledge that we don't have.
And by the time something gets hot, it's about to cool off, and you're about to lose your money.
And if you're in it for the long term, usually you'll be okay, according to every financial person.
I know, but I don't give financial advice.
Nate Silver.
By the way, Matt Towery, I think Matt Towery and Cahaley are right about Nate Silver.
Why doesn't he do his own polling?
This whole 538 and any moves to his own thing.
All he would say during the election is too close to call up to the day of the too close to call.
And meanwhile, Mark Halpern and I had figured out early voting that Kamala Harris would need in all seven swing states, historic day of turnout to be even competitive in any of them, but you know, why let facts get in the way?
Anyway, Nate Silver is saying AOC leads the pack of Democratic presidential candidates in 2028 on his silver bulletin substack.
He claimed AOC will lead Democrats into the next presidential cycle.
I'm fine with that.
I'm a hundred percent fine with that.
And I'll show you why on TV tonight.
There is pushback against Bernie Sanders and AOC in their fight the oligarchy tour.
James Carville doesn't see fighting the oligarchy.
No, he wants the Democrats to only focus on this El Salvadorian that everyone's claim is claiming is a Marylander.
He's not a Marylander.
But anyway, dump cold water on AOC and Bernie and their tour going off on progressives.
When you beat a Republican, come back and see me.
If Democrats want to fight each other, I'm okay with it.
It does not upset me.
Anyway, you'll never believe, you know.
They just haven't gotten it.
Then they got the number two guy at the DNC.
What's that guy's name?
How do you pronounce his name?
The Hoag?
Is that how you pronounce it?
Hog?
I'm not trying to do that.
Oh, David Hogg.
David Hogg.
Okay, that guy.
Yeah, he's um apparently gonna, he's saying we only want progressives running for office.
If you are show any sense of moderate tendencies, you're going to be primaried, according to him.
He's the number two.
The number one's not much different.
James Carvel called him gutless for threatening to primary Democrats from his DNC per perch.
I don't think it's gutless.
I actually think it's great.
George Clooney says uh that it was his civic duty to call out, call for Biden to drop out.
I just want to know the story.
Because, and by the way, he says he's from Kentucky.
