Yeah, so these rays are fine.

Maybe they're even helpful.

I do think they're in large part for show.

And I think the real action here, let me back up.

I think the viral content we've seen from the City Journal and Nick Shirley, very helpful.

You don't blow Tim Walz out of the water without him.

But I do think they've created a misimpression that this this scandal just broke three weeks ago when actually it's an ongoing thing for years.

And the federal prosecutors have been heroes there and exposing this and nailing some of the malefactors to the wall.

So the most important thing, I think, get the more resources.

I think they had maybe five people in this office led by this guy named Joe Thompson, who's been a total hero.

Give him a couple more folks.

fantastic top-of-the-line prosecutors and some more investigators and let him keep going at this.

I think that's where the rubber really meets the road because the exposure is fantastic, but you need to nail every single one of these people to the wall.

Yeah, so you're absolutely right.

Journalists should be seeking to advance the story.

Instead, they focus very often on attacking the guy who advanced the story, right?

So the story was Nick Shirley.

The story wasn't the underlying scandal.

CNN sent someone to confront Nick Shirley.

Yes.
