Rep. Jim Clyburn Seeks an 18th Term
Andrew Walworth, Tom Bevan, and Carl Cannon discuss Democratic Rep. Jim Clyburn (D-SC) who announced this morning that he would seek an 18th term in Congress at the age of 85, amid reports that he was planning to withdraw in hopes of handing his seat to his daughter. Also, Sen. John Cornyn (R-TX) reversed his opposition to ending the filibuster in the Senate in order to secure passage of the Save America Act, claiming the decision was not affected by his hope for President Donald Trump’s endorsement in the upcoming run-off election against his challenger, State Attorney General Ken Paxton, for the Republican Senate nomination in Texas. Then, Peter Berkowitz of the Hoover Institution joins the guys to discuss today’s announcement by Iran’s new supreme leader that the Straits of Hormuz will remain closed, last night’s statement by President Trump that the Iran War had already been won, and the future of the world energy market. Next, they talk about today’s article in The Washington Post concerning Sen. Markwayne Mullen (R-OK) which reports that he once hired a felon who illegally stored guns at one of Mullins’ facilities. Mullen is slated to testify before Congress next week seeking confirmation as Secretary of Homeland Security. Plus, a new music video featuring the AI generated character Tilly Norwood has been released encouraging Hollywood to embrace artificial intelligence, just in time for this year’s Oscar weekend.
