Ryan GrimGUEST
It was originally four members.
Ryan GrimGUEST
Ayanna Pressley seems to have more interest in kind of a statewide Massachusetts, probably Senate run the next time.
Ryan GrimGUEST
Everybody assumes she's going to run for Senate next time that's up.
Ryan GrimGUEST
And then you have Rashida Tlaib and Ilhan Omar who have been you know, willing, you know, critical of AOC for her, certainly her working tirelessly infamous claim at the democratic convention and, and otherwise for, for not being, for not kind of, you know, matching her rhetoric with the, with some of the, some of the values.
FaroukHOST
Ilhan Omar.
Jasiri XHOST
AOC, Ilhan, Ayanna Pressley.
Jasiri XHOST
Ayanna
FaroukHOST
Pressley, right, right, right.
Jack PosobiecSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
Good to see you, Jack.
Dan ProftHOST
And, um, and some of the frustration is just, you know, getting tired of rhetoric from politicians that is amplified by the DC Press Corps, like from Francis Parker Spice of the Socialist Spice Girls' one, Ayanna Pressley.
Ayanna PressleySOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
With the so-called reckless actions of the Department of Government Efficiency that took a sledgehammer to the infrastructure of our federal government, if you process a FAFSA application at the Department of Education, it's probably a Black woman doing that.
Jack PosobiecSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
Yeah.
Ayanna PressleySOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
You know, and I could go on.
Ayanna PressleySOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
So this is disruptive of livelihoods and lives, but this is devastating for everyone that they are being denied the brilliance and the intellectual capital of Black women.
Dan ProftHOST
That doesn't make Black women sound as good as you think it does, Ayanna Pressley.
Dan ProftHOST
For more on this, pleased to be joined by Will Riley.
Emily JashinskyHOST
Hank says your Monday segment on the AP's Hanley-Atazi infortion case was spot on.
Emily JashinskyHOST
I don't remember if you talked about government officials' reaction to the lynchings, but the behavior of AOC, Ayanna Pressley, the Congressional Black Caucus, and some progressives in Congress is no less despicable.
Emily JashinskyHOST
Given this country's history, all of those participating in pushing a narrative they have to know is total BS is unforgivable.
Emily JashinskyHOST
They're moral degenerates.
Paul NolanPANELIST
got breaking news, guys.
Paul NolanPANELIST
You didn't know this, but this is a big economic breakthrough that black women are the backbone of our economy, according to Ayanna Pressley, you know, squad member from Massachusetts.
Paul NolanPANELIST
She says, yeah.
Paul NolanPANELIST
She says that they are the backbone.
Sean ThompsonHOST
Now explain why you married one that looks like Patrick Ewing.
Sean ThompsonHOST
Can you do that, dummy? Here's Ayanna Pressley, also from Chicago.
Sean ThompsonHOST
This is the one squirrel who's not only married to the convict who got the $2 billion contract to build a courthouse, then lease it back to the government.
Ayanna PressleySOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
She's bald.
13 MINS LATER
speaker_31SOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
When we looked at contracts, grants, the amount of duplication and functions.
speaker_31SOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
It was everywhere we looked.
Sean ThompsonHOST
How many Ayanna Pressley husbands and lovers got their beak wet with this nonsense? See, that's how the game works.
Sean ThompsonHOST
And if you get too wise to it, turn on the waterworks, not the Chicago waterworks.
Joan VennochiPANELIST
Well, again, it's something that people probably wouldn't pay much attention to, except for the fact that he keeps on, or I think it's actually a PAC that's running the ads, just keeps on focusing on the $2 billion, which sounds like a big amount.
Joan VennochiPANELIST
There are the bidders who didn't get the bid are sort of suggesting that there's favoritism since the people, the team that did get it includes the the husband of Congresswoman Ayanna Pressley, and John Barros, who is the head of the Mass Convention Center Authority, who has since withdrawn.
Joan VennochiPANELIST
So it looks like a little bit of an insider deal.
Joan VennochiPANELIST
And if you just keep on spinning it and playing it and forcing her to be on the defense, I guess this is Massachusetts.
Gerry CallahanHOST
From a baseline of roughly 16,700 [chuckles] monthly issuances in January 2024, numbers plum-plummeted to a mere 800 by February 2026, a 96% drop in legal immigration, uh, from Muslim majority countries.
Gerry CallahanHOST
Anybody, uh, against that? Does anybody wanna argue? I'm, I'm sure, you know, if you had, you had, you know, AOC or Ayanna Pressley, Liz Warren, uh, Chuck Schumer, uh, they would tell you, "Oh, that's awful.
Gerry CallahanHOST
That's, that's, uh, Islamophobia." I don't know.
Gerry CallahanHOST
I think that's self-preservation.
7 MINS LATER
Gerry CallahanHOST
Uh, and if they do, they won't tell you the truth.
Gerry CallahanHOST
They will not acknowledge the truth.
Gerry CallahanHOST
But all right, we gotta get to this, uh, uh, this story, uh, and, uh, this Ayanna Pressley/Sarah Sanders story.
Gerry CallahanHOST
We gotta do this.
James ParkerHOST
Where these little things sound like I'm being nitpicky, but it adds up and it creates monsters like this.
James ParkerHOST
So when Ayanna Pressley comes out and says, black women are the backbone of our economy.
James ParkerHOST
And Barack Obama comes out and says, if the whole world was run by women for two years, things would be better.
James ParkerHOST
Which is implying that men are inferior leaders.
James ParkerHOST
Beyond the stereotypes, the Hindu community includes physicians and engineers and teachers and artists and scientists and police officers and small business owners, military veterans.
James ParkerHOST
On top of that, Ayanna Pressley said black women are the backbone of our economy and government.
James ParkerHOST
Now, if you said the opposite and inserted my demographics into any of these three discussions here, you would be called a bigot.
James ParkerHOST
And Courtney called in and I even tried to get her to say, just say it.
CourtneyAUDIENCE
We all are on this
James ParkerHOST
earth.
James ParkerHOST
Listen, Courtney, do you have any complaints for Ayanna Pressley bringing up race and gender? She's the one who said black women are the backbone of our economy.
James ParkerHOST
That didn't offend you?
