Capital News Service

Couple of days after he was involved in a debate With a Democratic candidate running against him, a Dan Schwartz, who is, uh, you know, seeking to, to try to defeat him.

And after the debate was over, which kind of got hectic with hecklers in the crowd and things like that, the congressman went into a- another room right off from the debate and began to talk with some media that were in there, including a young lady, who now we know her name is Kat Murphy from Capital News Service, who bothered him.

And as she was bothering him and, you know, kinda pressing him on different things, even gave her opinion, he wanted to put her out, Brian.

[laughs] Basically told her, "You're violating, uh, the law.

Whether it is, uh, going to hurt him or not, only time will tell.

Well, I agree with your take.

I thought, I think if, if he were to do a sit-down interview with Kat Murphy from the Capital News Service, it would show at least that he is open to, you know, being civil-

Yeah

He thought one of the questions was silly.

Uh, Cat Murphy, who's a student and a reporter for the Capital News Service, questioned that, and so he told her he, she couldn't record the press conference because it's a two-party state and I don't approve of you recording me.

And I'll just say the congressman is smarter than this.

He's, I think he, uh, used to be the chair of the Freedom Caucus, or he still is now.

But it wasn't the debate problems for the congressman, it was after the debate, Brian, at, and the 530 Club.

It was after in a room that the congressman described as a private room for him, that he had a problem with a student reporter from the Capital News Service, from University of Maryland, and that's when things went awry.

So last night he spoke with our own Robert Lang, Brian, about what was going on and why he decided to invoke his dual party consent, uh, discussion.

It's a little bit long, but I want you to listen to what he told Robert.

It is.

And the question is, now that this is a national story about him, I mean, you look around, all the different media entities are carrying this as an example of what not to do, and really having a opportunity to skew him.

And this reporter, Cat Murphy, from, uh, uh, Capital News Service, is now going out talking about this on national mediums.

It really, I believe, will follow the congressman after the election as opposed to just, you know, prior to the election.

I just think that the, these opportunities, uh, against in these debates, you, you got a chance to knock your opponent out, and he was doing really well while at it until that moment.

Now, coming up next is, uh, the contentious exchange with a, a Capital News Service reporter that we'll share with you in just a second.

6:43, traffic, weather on the threes.

Now with the update, the king of all traffic, Lugnuts Johnson.

I think he won the debate, clearly, hands down.

Then afterwards, he was still hot and bothered, and reporters started, uh, you know, hammering him, and a couple of other reporters, and, uh, he was dismissing as their questions being silly and stupid.

And then, uh, one, uh, Capital News Service reporter, Kat Murphy, uh, got under his skin.

Sir.
