Welcome everybody, Crystal Kyle and friends.

Today we are going to be talking to Afton Bain.

Let's go.

Who was basically like the person of the week last week, I would say, because she was running

against the Republican Van Epps in Tennessee and is a Trump plus 22 district.

And she almost pulled the miracle off.

I mean, it was a double-digit pickup, but she came up just short.

So I feel like we're getting an exclusive post-race interview here.

Yeah, I am very impressed with her.

We got to interview her on Breaking Points a couple weeks back.

And very charismatic, very solid in her ideology, focused on all the right things. Fantastic candidate, did a great job in this race, made it closer than it ever deserved to be, got the Republican sweating. So I'm really curious to get her reflections on the race, which she thinks that it

She's already state rep there, but I want to know kind of what she's thinking in terms of the future. Yeah. So guys, sign up below on substack, you definitely want to see the whole interview with Afton Bain. Me and

Chris are going to do a bunch of stories now, but the main event, let's say, will be on substacks. So definitely sign up there. All right. So a bunch of stuff we have to get to. Trump cannot stop pardoning the most corrupt people on the planet. Like there's not even any plausible deniability. There's not even any like, well, there's this other explanation as to why he's doing it.

It's literally just like... on the planet. Like there's not even any plausible deniability. There's not even any like, well,

there's this other explanation as to why he's doing it. It's literally just like, find me the

worst criminals you possibly can, white-collar criminals, and I'm going to pardon them. And so I have a

theory as to why that's happening, but I'll let you take it over because you got some specifics.

Yeah, I mean, he's basically just making white color crime legal,

as long as you are like on his good side or able to get access to him or whatever. So the latest one is a little bit surprising because it's Democratic representative Henry Quayar, who is the most

conservative Democrat in the house and has to be also one of the most corrupt. So he was indicted by

a federal grand jury along with his wife,

Imelda Quayar. Both of them have been pardoned, by the way, on multiple charges. They include
