They arrested again and he died in prison. 11 00:00:29.000 --> 00:00:31.519 Oh well, thanks for spoiling the story. 12 00:00:31.800 --> 00:00:37.560 No, no, I mean he can't tell the full story. Okay, 13 00:00:37.920 --> 00:00:38.600 you never mind. 14 00:00:38.920 --> 00:00:43.439 Okay, apparently there's no danger and the killer is dead. 15 00:00:43.640 --> 00:00:44.719 I don't want people driving. 16 00:00:44.719 --> 00:00:47.640 You're really taking this sizle out of the true crime. 17 00:00:49.079 --> 00:00:51.119 There is a developing story that's happening right now that 18 00:00:51.240 --> 00:00:53.520 kind of leads us into swamp Watch. But an American 19 00:00:53.600 --> 00:00:57.359 teacher detained by Russia is coming back to American soil. 20 00:00:59.119 --> 00:01:03.399 President Trump, Steve Whitcoff, and the President's advisors apparently negotiated 21 00:01:03.439 --> 00:01:09.159 in exchange that allows Mark Fogel, an American detained by Russia, 22 00:01:09.200 --> 00:01:12.799 to come home. Mark Fogel is a history teacher from 23 00:01:12.799 --> 00:01:17.359 Pennsylvania who was serving a fourteen year prison sentence after 24 00:01:17.400 --> 00:01:19.840 he was arrested in August of twenty twenty one at 25 00:01:19.840 --> 00:01:24.680 a Russian airport for being in possession of drugs, which 26 00:01:24.719 --> 00:01:28.040 his family and his supporters have said was medically prescribed marijuana. 27 00:01:28.159 --> 00:01:28.719 They don't care. 28 00:01:29.480 --> 00:01:33.519 He was designated as wrongfully detained by the US government. 29 00:01:33.840 --> 00:01:38.400 A former CIA station chief and Dan Hoffman no relation, 30 00:01:38.560 --> 00:01:42.239 called the release a major foreign policy success. He was 31 00:01:42.239 --> 00:01:44.079 on Fox a few minutes ago and said, any time 32 00:01:44.120 --> 00:01:46.400 we're able to extract one of our citizens from behind 33 00:01:46.480 --> 00:01:49.280 enemy lines in Russia, good on the administration for doing this. 34 00:01:49.680 --> 00:01:51.480 Steve Whitcoff has got a lot on his plate right 35 00:01:51.519 --> 00:01:53.959 now dealing with the Middle East, and it's incredibly impressive 36 00:01:53.959 --> 00:01:55.599 to me that on top of that, he was able 37 00:01:55.599 --> 00:01:58.319 to secure the release of Mark Fogel, the. 38 00:01:58.560 --> 00:02:02.200 Former ambassador to cat Canada is talking about the possibility 39 00:02:02.239 --> 00:02:04.120 of Canada becoming our fifty first state. 40 00:02:04.640 --> 00:02:06.400 That's where we kick off swamp one. 41 00:02:06.439 --> 00:02:08.919 I'm a politician, which means I'm a cheat and a liar. 42 00:02:09.319 --> 00:02:12.120 And when I'm not kissing babies, I'm stealing their lollipops. 43 00:02:12.240 --> 00:02:15.319 Yeah, we got the real problem is that our leaders 44 00:02:15.360 --> 00:02:15.879 are done. 45 00:02:15.919 --> 00:02:19.400 The other side never quits what what. 46 00:02:19.759 --> 00:02:21.039 I'm not going anywhere. 47 00:02:21.120 --> 00:02:23.520 So that is how you train the squat. 48 00:02:23.599 --> 00:02:26.000 I can imagine what can be and be unburdened by. 49 00:02:25.879 --> 00:02:26.439 What has been. 50 00:02:26.599 --> 00:02:29.800 You know, Americans have always been going act president, but 51 00:02:29.919 --> 00:02:30.719 they're not stupid. 52 00:02:30.759 --> 00:02:33.639 A political flunder is when a politician actually tells the truth. 53 00:02:33.639 --> 00:02:36.800 Whether people voting for you were not swamp watch, They're 54 00:02:36.840 --> 00:02:37.400 all Canada. 55 00:02:38.479 --> 00:02:42.159 David Cohen was Biden's ambassador, arrived in Canada in twenty 56 00:02:42.199 --> 00:02:46.319 twenty one to repair relationships after Trump's first term. He's 57 00:02:46.360 --> 00:02:48.800 back in Philly, no longer bound by the Hatch Act, 58 00:02:48.840 --> 00:02:51.800 which of course engages you or keeps you from engaging 59 00:02:51.800 --> 00:02:57.560 in partisan politics. He says that the repeated idea of 60 00:02:57.639 --> 00:02:59.919 Canada as a fifty first state is puzzling to me 61 00:03:00.199 --> 00:03:00.840 at best. 62 00:03:01.319 --> 00:03:02.800 But as to whether the US might use. 63 00:03:02.719 --> 00:03:04.960 Its military to make it happen, he says he's learned 64 00:03:05.000 --> 00:03:10.319 never to say never. He believes that Trump's idea about 65 00:03:10.360 --> 00:03:14.680 making Canada a state is just an empty threat. Oh, 66 00:03:14.719 --> 00:03:19.360 even after the tariffs were announced, even after concerns about 67 00:03:19.360 --> 00:03:23.919 illegal immigration and fentanyl and all of these things, it's 68 00:03:23.960 --> 00:03:26.080 not going to happen, sadly probably. 69 00:03:26.520 --> 00:03:29.879 President Trump today is hosting King Abdullah the Second of Jordan, 70 00:03:30.560 --> 00:03:36.560 and President Trump digs in on his vision for somehow 71 00:03:36.759 --> 00:03:39.800 the US taking over the Gaza strip. He met in 72 00:03:39.840 --> 00:03:42.439 the Oval Office with King Abdullah along with his son 73 00:03:42.599 --> 00:03:46.919 and heir. The President remained pretty adamant the Palestinians don't 74 00:03:46.960 --> 00:03:50.039 want to live in Gaza and won't want to live 75 00:03:50.120 --> 00:03:54.240 in Gaza, and would welcome relocating them to Jordan, to Egypt, 76 00:03:54.240 --> 00:03:56.400 to other Arab nations in that Middle East. 77 00:03:56.400 --> 00:03:59.759 With the United States being in control of that piece 78 00:03:59.800 --> 00:04:02.360 of land, a fairly large piece of land, you can 79 00:04:02.400 --> 00:04:04.919 have stability in the Middle East for the first time, 80 00:04:05.680 --> 00:04:09.599 and the Palestinians or the people that live now in 81 00:04:09.680 --> 00:04:12.520 Gaza will be living beautifully in another location. They're going 82 00:04:12.560 --> 00:04:15.840 to be living safely. They're not going to be killed, 83 00:04:16.000 --> 00:04:18.839 murdered and having to leave every ten years. 84 00:04:18.879 --> 00:04:21.519 The President again insisted that the United States would have 85 00:04:22.120 --> 00:04:25.439 that was this word, we would have Gaza, but he 86 00:04:25.480 --> 00:04:28.680 didn't explain who we would have it from, how we 87 00:04:28.800 --> 00:04:29.439 take it. 88 00:04:29.439 --> 00:04:30.639 It didn't explain any of that. 89 00:04:32.160 --> 00:04:37.879 But he did get some pushback kind of from King 90 00:04:38.639 --> 00:04:42.439 Abdullah the Second, the King of Jordan's sought to temper expectations, 91 00:04:42.759 --> 00:04:45.360 saying that Egypt and other Arab nations do expect to 92 00:04:45.360 --> 00:04:48.600 present a proposal to the United States, but not just yet. 93 00:04:48.680 --> 00:04:51.439 In an attempt to slow Trump's role on this whole thing, 94 00:04:51.959 --> 00:04:54.319 he said, this is something that we as Arabs will 95 00:04:54.360 --> 00:04:57.360 be coming to the United States with something that we're 96 00:04:57.399 --> 00:04:59.879 going to talk about later and discuss all the options. 97 00:05:00.120 --> 00:05:02.879 It did say they had a great conversation, that they 98 00:05:02.920 --> 00:05:06.040 will have more conversations throughout the day today and the 99 00:05:06.079 --> 00:05:08.160 expectation is they hold a news conference a little. 100 00:05:07.959 --> 00:05:08.439 Bit later too. 101 00:05:08.600 --> 00:05:08.720 Well. 102 00:05:08.759 --> 00:05:12.160 He's not ending with his war on paper straws, the president, 103 00:05:12.279 --> 00:05:14.680 saying that plastic straws are going to be coming back 104 00:05:14.720 --> 00:05:18.680 because the paper ones don't just work, don't. 105 00:05:18.360 --> 00:05:19.680 Just don't just don't work. 106 00:05:20.079 --> 00:05:25.560 Today, he declared that his administration would revert back to 107 00:05:25.680 --> 00:05:30.199 incandescent light bulbs no longer made in the US. Toilets 108 00:05:30.199 --> 00:05:32.439 and shower heads will be changing as well. We will 109 00:05:32.480 --> 00:05:36.399 get the full strength, he wrote today online. I am 110 00:05:36.399 --> 00:05:39.639 here by instructing Secretary Lee Zelden to immediately go back 111 00:05:39.639 --> 00:05:42.759 to my environmental orders which were terminated by crooked Joe 112 00:05:42.759 --> 00:05:47.319 Biden on water standards and flow pertaining to sink showers, toilets, 113 00:05:47.439 --> 00:05:51.920 washing machines, dishwashers, et cetera. And to likewise go back 114 00:05:51.920 --> 00:05:55.519 to the common sense standards on light bulbs all caps. 115 00:05:57.600 --> 00:06:01.240 Okay, he's sitting where people want to. I guess, Verry urgent. 116 00:06:02.319 --> 00:06:04.879 One of the things that did happen yesterday in Washington, 117 00:06:04.959 --> 00:06:08.360 d C. Was a very dramatic, about hour long speech 118 00:06:08.399 --> 00:06:11.240 on the floor of the House from South Carolina Congresswoman 119 00:06:11.319 --> 00:06:11.839 Nancy Mays. 120 00:06:11.959 --> 00:06:16.439 If I found this many victims with this little effort, 121 00:06:16.920 --> 00:06:22.639 why why are they still on the streets of South 122 00:06:22.720 --> 00:06:24.759 Carolina today? 123 00:06:24.959 --> 00:06:27.319 We'll explain what she was talking about when we come back. 124 00:06:27.399 --> 00:06:30.720 This is bad because her former fiance, that she lays 125 00:06:30.720 --> 00:06:33.759 out on Capitol Hill as being a rapist and abuser 126 00:06:33.959 --> 00:06:39.800 and surreptitiously recording women drugged and naked, he denies everything. 127 00:06:40.000 --> 00:06:40.199 Yep. 128 00:06:40.519 --> 00:06:45.519 So yesterday on Capitol Hill there was a general speech 129 00:06:46.199 --> 00:06:48.639 time frame. This is a time when any lawmaker can 130 00:06:48.639 --> 00:06:51.600 go to the House floor and speak on any topic. 131 00:06:52.600 --> 00:06:57.959 House rules prohibit lawmakers from impunging other impuning other members 132 00:06:58.040 --> 00:07:00.240 of Congress and speeches, but they don't say any thing 133 00:07:00.600 --> 00:07:05.879 about other citizens. Nancy mayses who were talking about and 134 00:07:06.160 --> 00:07:08.319 before we get into it, she is shielded from any 135 00:07:08.399 --> 00:07:12.720 legal action by the Constitution's Speech and Debate clause, which 136 00:07:12.720 --> 00:07:16.480 basically says she's doing this as a legislative duty giving 137 00:07:16.480 --> 00:07:19.240 one of these general speeches, and so she cannot they 138 00:07:19.279 --> 00:07:21.879 cannot go after her for this. But she used this 139 00:07:22.000 --> 00:07:26.439 time to accuse four men, including her ex fiance, of rape, 140 00:07:26.959 --> 00:07:30.560 sex trafficking, and other sex crimes against her. It does 141 00:07:30.600 --> 00:07:34.399 have a political ramification. She went after the South Carolina 142 00:07:34.480 --> 00:07:37.680 ag for failing to prosecute these guys. 143 00:07:38.720 --> 00:07:40.040 This AG is. 144 00:07:40.040 --> 00:07:43.600 A potential rival when she runs for governor when she's 145 00:07:43.639 --> 00:07:46.279 widely expected to run for governor in twenty twenty six. 146 00:07:46.720 --> 00:07:49.399 So her former fiance is a guy named Patrick Bryant. 147 00:07:49.439 --> 00:07:51.680 A friend came to her and said that she had 148 00:07:51.720 --> 00:07:55.560 found Patrick Bryant Bryant active on a dating app. 149 00:07:55.639 --> 00:07:59.519 When I confronted Patrick Bryant four days later on November third, 150 00:08:00.199 --> 00:08:04.680 the first thing he did was take his phone and 151 00:08:04.759 --> 00:08:08.480 put it in a safe and lock it. It was 152 00:08:08.519 --> 00:08:12.120 so confusing and didn't understand why would someone put their 153 00:08:12.199 --> 00:08:15.000 cell phone in a safe and lock it. 154 00:08:15.079 --> 00:08:20.879 Now, she somehow convinced this guy to give her access 155 00:08:21.199 --> 00:08:25.839 to his phone. You open it with a thumbprint. She 156 00:08:25.920 --> 00:08:29.040 got the security code and then started going through the phone. 157 00:08:29.120 --> 00:08:31.240 One of the first videos I saw was of a woman. 158 00:08:32.159 --> 00:08:38.320 She was incapacitated and she was being raped. I found 159 00:08:38.320 --> 00:08:41.679 some photos of what appeared to be a teenager undressed. 160 00:08:42.960 --> 00:08:46.759 I saw another video of another woman who was undressed, 161 00:08:47.840 --> 00:08:52.360 clearly on a camera, unaware she was being filmed. She 162 00:08:52.519 --> 00:08:56.759 was slender, and she had long brown hair. I turned 163 00:08:56.840 --> 00:08:59.519 up the volume to hear if there was audio. I 164 00:08:59.559 --> 00:09:04.759 heard my voice. I zoomed in on the video, and 165 00:09:04.799 --> 00:09:07.000 that woman was me. 166 00:09:07.600 --> 00:09:11.200 Now, she says she took this evidence to the Attorney General, 167 00:09:11.240 --> 00:09:14.480 to district's attorney to try to get these guys prosecuted 168 00:09:14.519 --> 00:09:17.399 for it because, among other things, she said, she was 169 00:09:17.440 --> 00:09:20.679 at a party at this guy's house again this is 170 00:09:20.720 --> 00:09:24.679 her former fiance, and she was served the two small 171 00:09:24.759 --> 00:09:26.360 vodka sodas that she referenced. 172 00:09:26.519 --> 00:09:31.440 A short time later, I blacked out. I have never 173 00:09:32.320 --> 00:09:35.799 blacked out after having a vodka soda or any adult 174 00:09:35.879 --> 00:09:42.080 beverage ever, and my life has never happened. But I 175 00:09:42.159 --> 00:09:47.960 know who has the women raped on those tapes that 176 00:09:48.039 --> 00:09:51.480 I saw, the women raped that I spoke to over 177 00:09:51.519 --> 00:09:52.639 the course of the last year. 178 00:09:53.080 --> 00:09:54.919 That was the other thing is that she that was 179 00:09:54.960 --> 00:09:57.519 the SoundBite that I played book before the break. She 180 00:09:57.720 --> 00:10:02.000 did this investigation allegedly by herself, and she says, how 181 00:10:02.080 --> 00:10:04.720 could this not result in criminal charges? 182 00:10:04.840 --> 00:10:09.159 If I found this many victims with this little effort, 183 00:10:09.799 --> 00:10:15.559 why why are they still on the streets of South 184 00:10:15.639 --> 00:10:17.679 Carolina today? 185 00:10:17.919 --> 00:10:22.159 By the way State law enforcement they're in South Carolina. 186 00:10:22.200 --> 00:10:27.240 The Law Enforcement Division confirms it does have an active 187 00:10:27.240 --> 00:10:31.639 investigation into these accusations of assault and voyeurism and harassment, 188 00:10:31.919 --> 00:10:36.120 a spokesperson said, sled again. South Carolina Law Enforcement Division 189 00:10:36.480 --> 00:10:40.440 opened an investigation regarding the allegations of assault on December 190 00:10:40.519 --> 00:10:45.039 fourteenth of twenty twenty three after being contacted by US 191 00:10:45.159 --> 00:10:48.840 Capitol Police, and since that date again, the spokesperson says, 192 00:10:48.840 --> 00:10:52.960 they've conducted multiple interviews, served multiple search warrants, well documented 193 00:10:52.960 --> 00:10:55.559 case file that will be available for the release upon 194 00:10:55.600 --> 00:10:57.279 the conclusion of the investigation. 195 00:10:57.559 --> 00:11:00.279 So what do we know about Patrick Bryant? So we 196 00:11:00.320 --> 00:11:03.320 know he started his first company, Bryant Design, at sixteen 197 00:11:03.440 --> 00:11:08.240 years old, according to his biography. Majored in Mass Communications 198 00:11:08.320 --> 00:11:11.679 Broadcast Management at University of South Carolina, where he was 199 00:11:11.720 --> 00:11:15.600 part of the campus TV station, co founder of a 200 00:11:15.639 --> 00:11:20.279 software development firm. We've got more on this guy's background 201 00:11:20.360 --> 00:11:23.879 that we will get into about kind of the timeline 202 00:11:23.879 --> 00:11:29.480 of when they were together and when she has a 203 00:11:29.559 --> 00:11:34.360 couple husbands. She became engaged with this guy three years 204 00:11:34.399 --> 00:11:38.600 after she divorced her second husband, with whom she has 205 00:11:38.639 --> 00:11:39.320 two children. 206 00:11:39.559 --> 00:11:41.919 So the heavy rain and strong winds that could cause 207 00:11:41.919 --> 00:11:44.679 some flooding, looking for maybe a few power outages, even 208 00:11:44.720 --> 00:11:48.440 travel delays. La County public Works crews and other crews 209 00:11:48.480 --> 00:11:52.200 around the all of southern California have created additional capacity 210 00:11:52.240 --> 00:11:55.039 in some of the debris basins. They've installed thousands of 211 00:11:55.080 --> 00:11:57.960 feet of concrete barriers ahead of the rain to try 212 00:11:58.000 --> 00:12:01.720 to at least steer them flows if there are any so. 213 00:12:01.759 --> 00:12:05.279 Representative Nancy Mace out of South Carolina, who is widely 214 00:12:05.759 --> 00:12:09.320 accepted will be running for governor in twenty twenty six, 215 00:12:10.039 --> 00:12:14.679 got onto the House floor yesterday and accused who is 216 00:12:14.759 --> 00:12:19.080 sure to be her running rival, the sitting Attorney General 217 00:12:19.120 --> 00:12:22.320 in South Carolina, Alan Wilson, of looking the other way 218 00:12:22.399 --> 00:12:25.720 when it came to Nancy Mace's own ex fiance and 219 00:12:25.759 --> 00:12:30.559 his friends who she says are guilty of rape, sex trafficking, 220 00:12:30.639 --> 00:12:33.919 and other sex crimes against her and other female victims. 221 00:12:34.320 --> 00:12:37.159 She says she had the proof on his phone. 222 00:12:38.000 --> 00:12:42.360 She had a bunch of proof, metadata, all sorts of 223 00:12:42.399 --> 00:12:45.639 information that shows that these guys were guilty of drugging 224 00:12:45.720 --> 00:12:47.279 women and raping them. 225 00:12:47.399 --> 00:12:48.919 And she was one of the victims. 226 00:12:49.039 --> 00:12:54.799 And she is untouchable because there are laws protecting any 227 00:12:55.000 --> 00:13:00.200 sort of lawmaker when it comes to their duties carrying. 228 00:12:59.879 --> 00:13:01.799 Out legislative actions. 229 00:13:03.519 --> 00:13:06.919 She's shielded from any legal action by the Constitution's Speech 230 00:13:07.000 --> 00:13:12.559 and Debate clause. Now, what do we know about Patrick Bryan. 231 00:13:12.720 --> 00:13:16.600 This is the guy she was that she was engaged to. 232 00:13:16.759 --> 00:13:21.159 He is a Charleston software entrepreneur. He denies all the allegations, 233 00:13:21.159 --> 00:13:24.440 by the way, and the age in the State Office 234 00:13:24.440 --> 00:13:27.200 of Investigation says this is under investigation, that he is 235 00:13:27.240 --> 00:13:29.720 the only one they're investigating. So the fact that she 236 00:13:29.840 --> 00:13:32.879 laid out the other friends was just, I guess gravy 237 00:13:33.840 --> 00:13:35.720 and if it's true, they should be called out, but 238 00:13:35.840 --> 00:13:38.799 they are not involved in the investigation at this juncture. 239 00:13:38.919 --> 00:13:42.080 And you point out that this Alan Wilson is this 240 00:13:42.279 --> 00:13:44.840 current state Attorney General is likely going to also run 241 00:13:44.879 --> 00:13:47.600 for governor against Nancy Mason. I think there's another person 242 00:13:47.679 --> 00:13:51.080 who might get involved. They're talking about Lieutenant Governor Pamela 243 00:13:51.080 --> 00:13:53.879 Evatt that might also run and run for governor of 244 00:13:53.879 --> 00:13:57.840 South Carolina. The Attorney General's office put out a statement 245 00:13:58.200 --> 00:14:02.519 and said Ms. Mace either does not understand or is 246 00:14:03.000 --> 00:14:07.360 purposefully mischaracterizing the role of Attorney General. At this time, 247 00:14:08.080 --> 00:14:11.159 our office has not received any reports or requests for 248 00:14:11.320 --> 00:14:16.159 assistance from any law enforcement or prosecution agencies regarding these matters. Additionally, 249 00:14:16.200 --> 00:14:18.480 they have no role and no knowledge of these allegations 250 00:14:18.519 --> 00:14:21.639 until her public statements. Now again to point out you've 251 00:14:21.679 --> 00:14:25.519 said this, the South Carolina Law Enforcement Division does say 252 00:14:25.759 --> 00:14:29.960 they do have an active investigation into at least Patrick Bryant. 253 00:14:30.559 --> 00:14:34.559 But the Attorney General goes on to say Congresswoman Mace 254 00:14:34.679 --> 00:14:37.480 and the Attorney General have been at multiple events together 255 00:14:37.559 --> 00:14:40.320 over the last six months. She also has the Attorney 256 00:14:40.320 --> 00:14:44.000 General's personal cell phone number, and not once has she 257 00:14:44.080 --> 00:14:46.679 approached or reached out to him regarding any of her 258 00:14:46.759 --> 00:14:50.559 concerns and any claim regarding the Attorney General refusing to 259 00:14:50.559 --> 00:14:53.360 receive evidence of a crime from a victim's attorney. It's 260 00:14:53.399 --> 00:14:57.279 important to clarify, the age is the chief prosecutor, and 261 00:14:57.320 --> 00:15:00.600 for this reason, the Attorney General would always direct any 262 00:15:00.639 --> 00:15:03.679 citizen the evidence of a crime to the appropriate law 263 00:15:03.720 --> 00:15:04.559 enforcement agency. 264 00:15:04.559 --> 00:15:06.759 You don't go to the Attorney general with stuff like this, 265 00:15:06.960 --> 00:15:09.120 You go to your local agencies. Now, I mean, I 266 00:15:09.200 --> 00:15:12.960 understand that there's different things involved, but if you knew 267 00:15:13.000 --> 00:15:15.279 the Attorney General, even if you were going to be 268 00:15:15.360 --> 00:15:22.440 political rivals, you would still say, hey, this happened. Can 269 00:15:22.480 --> 00:15:26.039 I get a hand with whatever you know I need 270 00:15:26.080 --> 00:15:27.879 to do in terms of who to talk to locally 271 00:15:27.919 --> 00:15:31.919 in my jurisdiction. All right, So Patrick Bryant is the 272 00:15:31.919 --> 00:15:35.440 guy she accused the former fiance. He is from South Carolina, 273 00:15:35.559 --> 00:15:38.799 went to University of South Carolina, as I mentioned, started 274 00:15:38.799 --> 00:15:44.039 his first venture, go to Team, a broadcast video services provider, 275 00:15:44.559 --> 00:15:48.879 which commenced his career in software development. She was previously 276 00:15:48.919 --> 00:15:51.960 married to a lawyer and Air Force Reserve officer between 277 00:15:52.039 --> 00:15:54.639 ninety nine and two thousand and two, and then married 278 00:15:54.639 --> 00:15:57.480 a second time to a contractor between twenty four and 279 00:15:57.519 --> 00:16:00.960 twenty nineteen, with whom she had two children. She and 280 00:16:01.000 --> 00:16:05.039 this guy, Patrick Bryant, the one she's accusing, reportedly dated 281 00:16:05.039 --> 00:16:08.639 for two years before becoming engaged. In May twenty two, 282 00:16:09.399 --> 00:16:12.240 he proposed to her during the filming of a campaign 283 00:16:12.320 --> 00:16:20.440 commercial is she sought reelection to the House. She made 284 00:16:20.480 --> 00:16:25.840 headlines in July twenty twenty three when she told a 285 00:16:26.039 --> 00:16:31.600 racy antecdote involving her fiance, Patrick Bryant, at the thirteenth 286 00:16:31.679 --> 00:16:35.840 annual South Carolina Prayer Breakfast about arriving on time for 287 00:16:35.919 --> 00:16:39.519 the event only because she had declined his early morning 288 00:16:39.600 --> 00:16:44.639 sexual advances. She told her Christian audience that morning, Patrick, 289 00:16:44.720 --> 00:16:46.919 my fiance tried to pull me by the waist over 290 00:16:46.960 --> 00:16:49.120 this morning in bed, and I was like, no, baby, 291 00:16:49.440 --> 00:16:51.960 we've got we don't got time for that. I do 292 00:16:52.080 --> 00:16:54.159 not And I was like, no, baby, we don't got 293 00:16:54.159 --> 00:16:55.799 time for that this morning. I've got to get to 294 00:16:55.840 --> 00:16:57.960 the prayer breakfast and I've got to be on time. 295 00:16:58.639 --> 00:17:02.720 The crowd laughed nervously. She conceded she had overshared, but added, 296 00:17:02.759 --> 00:17:04.680 he can wait. I'll see him later tonight. 297 00:17:05.799 --> 00:17:08.640 I remember, I remember that making a little bit of 298 00:17:08.680 --> 00:17:11.759 a wave, just because it was a prayer breakfast. 299 00:17:12.359 --> 00:17:13.160 So it's fine. 300 00:17:13.279 --> 00:17:16.039 You don't want genitals in your prayer breakfast. 301 00:17:15.799 --> 00:17:19.079 If they're your married spouse's genitals. I think I don't 302 00:17:19.119 --> 00:17:19.440 think so. 303 00:17:19.839 --> 00:17:22.000 I don't want to hear about your married spouse genitals 304 00:17:22.039 --> 00:17:24.839 until at least the afternoon. 305 00:17:24.359 --> 00:17:26.279 At least the prayer luncheon, the tea time. 306 00:17:28.880 --> 00:17:36.480 Anyway, at the time when they broke up, she said 307 00:17:36.480 --> 00:17:39.359 that he was cheating. I caught him being unfaithful. He 308 00:17:39.400 --> 00:17:42.359 was on a dating app, so I dumped him. She said, 309 00:17:42.359 --> 00:17:44.720 I would encourage any woman that's in the same situation 310 00:17:44.880 --> 00:17:47.400 just walk away. It's been very painful for me and 311 00:17:47.440 --> 00:17:51.200 my children. He denied he had been unfaithful, and he 312 00:17:51.240 --> 00:17:53.960 said he had downloaded the app only in order to 313 00:17:54.000 --> 00:17:57.839 delete an old profile. The broken engagement had left the 314 00:17:57.880 --> 00:18:01.079 couple fighting over a four million dollars each front property 315 00:18:02.000 --> 00:18:04.359 and a one point three million dollar house in DC 316 00:18:04.640 --> 00:18:08.559 that both had equity in. Is this somebody airing out 317 00:18:08.839 --> 00:18:14.279 dirty laundry of her ex's sex escapades that may have 318 00:18:14.400 --> 00:18:16.839 been consensual experiences on his phone that. 319 00:18:16.799 --> 00:18:19.599 She's found listen that's happened before. 320 00:18:19.799 --> 00:18:23.119 Yeah, I mean that's offul. I mean it's awful either way. 321 00:18:23.640 --> 00:18:27.200 If it's true and he's raping people, or there's this 322 00:18:27.200 --> 00:18:29.599 this group of friends that's drugging and raping women. 323 00:18:30.000 --> 00:18:30.920 Obviously, awful. 324 00:18:33.480 --> 00:18:36.000 I'm not going to judge what's more awful, but if 325 00:18:36.079 --> 00:18:39.880 that's something you're using on on the House floor to 326 00:18:39.960 --> 00:18:44.960 go after a political future, political nemesis, holy hell, all 327 00:18:45.000 --> 00:18:45.640 of it's bad. 328 00:18:46.359 --> 00:18:50.319 Yeah, I mean, I wonder also for the South Carolina 329 00:18:50.400 --> 00:18:53.200 Law Enforcement Division, the state Law Enforcement Agency. I wonder 330 00:18:53.200 --> 00:18:56.400 if the investigators like what you blew it? You blew 331 00:18:56.440 --> 00:18:59.640 our case. I don't know if she said anything specifically that, 332 00:18:59.799 --> 00:19:02.240 but you know, soundize it and do they think, well, 333 00:19:02.279 --> 00:19:04.160 we were gonna turn our paces? 334 00:19:04.519 --> 00:19:07.559 How serious are things like that taken in South Carolina? Also? 335 00:19:07.839 --> 00:19:10.160 I mean, and things have a way of disappearing in 336 00:19:10.200 --> 00:19:11.000 South Carolina. 337 00:19:11.160 --> 00:19:15.079 And that's kind of what she's said, that South Carolina 338 00:19:15.079 --> 00:19:17.680 can be a dirty place. It can be, and she's 339 00:19:18.039 --> 00:19:20.559 she's not a stranger this. She has made headlines before. 340 00:19:20.680 --> 00:19:23.759 She has talked about being a survivor of sexual assault 341 00:19:23.759 --> 00:19:27.079 when she was a teenager. She has come out in 342 00:19:27.200 --> 00:19:31.519 favor of abortion bands, but in favor of exceptions for 343 00:19:31.839 --> 00:19:35.079 rape and incest as well. So a bunch of stories 344 00:19:35.079 --> 00:19:37.480 that we continue to follow. The flu is back. Flu 345 00:19:37.519 --> 00:19:39.160 season is turning out to be one of the more 346 00:19:39.200 --> 00:19:41.920 intense that we've seen in several years. The California Department 347 00:19:41.920 --> 00:19:45.720 of Public Health's weekly report shows that statewide flu activity 348 00:19:45.759 --> 00:19:49.279 is high and increasing because cases of things like fluent, 349 00:19:49.920 --> 00:19:56.480 COVID and rc RSV respiratory's initial virus are very very low. 350 00:19:56.519 --> 00:19:59.079 More than one hundred and seventy World War Two era 351 00:19:59.240 --> 00:20:02.799 practice bomb have been found beneath a playground in England 352 00:20:02.880 --> 00:20:06.200 during a renovation. The first two of the one hundred 353 00:20:06.240 --> 00:20:08.559 and seventy were discovered last month by workers that were 354 00:20:08.559 --> 00:20:11.640 digging foundations at a place called Scott's Park, about an 355 00:20:11.680 --> 00:20:14.880 hour's drive north of Newcastle, and then in the two 356 00:20:14.960 --> 00:20:17.880 days after that they found one hundred and fifty five 357 00:20:18.119 --> 00:20:21.880 practice bombs in about a twenty one square foot area. 358 00:20:22.160 --> 00:20:25.559 Officials say they are just practice bombs, but that they 359 00:20:25.640 --> 00:20:30.559 still carry a charge and given the number of bombs involved. 360 00:20:30.119 --> 00:20:32.759 They need to be recovered by professions. 361 00:20:33.839 --> 00:20:34.559 Surveillance. 362 00:20:34.599 --> 00:20:39.279 Surprising. It is ripping you off. Here is the example 363 00:20:39.359 --> 00:20:43.039 that I was alluding to. Five am. Your toddler's crying, 364 00:20:43.079 --> 00:20:46.279 his forehead is hot.

So it's going 367 00:20:50.799 --> 00:20:53.400 to get there within two hours. Wait, where's the thermometer? 368 00:20:53.559 --> 00:20:54.440 What happened to it? 369 00:20:54.480 --> 00:20:55.799 Okay, we'll get one of those two. 370 00:20:57.079 --> 00:21:00.400 You're barely completing the purchase before your kid's throwing up. 371 00:21:01.880 --> 00:21:05.359 Now the retailer is probably selling you both of these 372 00:21:05.480 --> 00:21:11.000 items at slightly higher prices because it has access to 373 00:21:11.160 --> 00:21:16.319 data that pigeonholes you as a parent who doesn't know 374 00:21:16.359 --> 00:21:19.920 you're being upcharged for medical supplies, especially at that time 375 00:21:19.960 --> 00:21:21.799 of the morning, not even five am. 376 00:21:22.440 --> 00:21:24.519 This is what's known as surveillance pricing. 377 00:21:25.039 --> 00:21:28.519 Yeah, this is It's strange because first blush, you think, well, 378 00:21:28.519 --> 00:21:30.799 of course you want something quicker, you're going to need 379 00:21:30.839 --> 00:21:33.759 to pay a premium to get it to your place quicker. 380 00:21:34.359 --> 00:21:39.839 But it's not just they use the example of uber pricing. 381 00:21:41.319 --> 00:21:44.519 Obviously, if there's more demand at a certain time, like 382 00:21:44.680 --> 00:21:47.319 after a game at Dodger Stadium or something like that, 383 00:21:47.359 --> 00:21:49.079 the prices are going to go up because so many 384 00:21:49.119 --> 00:21:53.559 more people want to use it.

It's like I know what 392 00:22:16.319 --> 00:22:17.559 you're doing, but yes. 393 00:22:17.359 --> 00:22:20.200 I do want that, and that's what they're betting on. 394 00:22:20.400 --> 00:22:22.839 Absolutely, they know you're an addict, and they know that 395 00:22:22.880 --> 00:22:25.319 you're gonna want whatever thing you want right away. 396 00:22:26.000 --> 00:22:29.799 If you have received a personalized price, you don't always 397 00:22:29.920 --> 00:22:31.680 know it.
