3. Congressional Grilling on Minnesota Fraud

  • Key exchange:
    • Mace: “What is a woman? Have you learned that lesson?” [08:10]
    • Walz: “I'm not here to be your prop for your obsession.” [08:14]
    • Mace: “Did you prepare for this hearing today?” [08:38]
    • Walz repeatedly fails to answer spending questions, leading Carson to lampoon his ignorance.

4. Iran Conflict & Trump’s Response

[20:55 – 26:50]

• Widespread public support for the action, contrary to some media claims; Carson expresses frustration with reflexive opposition to Trump.
