All right. Hello and everyone. Welcome to it. It is the 24th of March,

2026. Happy Tuesday to you. We're getting through the week together, aren't we? That's a pretty good deal.

Anyway, I'm Derek Hunter. This is the Derek Hunter podcast. Appreciate the use of your ears for the next however long it takes.

And let's just get right into it. Don't forget patreon.com slash derrickhunter podcast or derrickhunter.

dot locals.com to support the program. If you are inclined to support the program or if you just

want to have something extra to complain about, some people seem to think, all right, whatever.

I'd choose a hobby, but you could do whatever you want. So appreciate that. I want to get right into it. I'd choose a hobby, but you could do whatever you want.

So appreciate that. I want to get right into it. I want to play for you,

Hakeem Jeffries. Hakeem Jeffries is a leader of Democrats. He is their chosen leader in the House of Representatives. Why? I don't know. I'm not really sure what else, what the other choices were, and maybe if they were

Rashida Talib or Ilhan Omar, but there is no redeeming leadership value in the existence

of Hakeem Jeffrey.

So in that sense, I am glad that he is the leader of the Democrats

in the House of Representatives. It does make our existence that much easier, that much easier.

It's annoying because he's treated seriously, he's treated honestly, he's treated like he's,

I don't know, I wouldn't go so far as to say that he's treated

as though he's an intellectual but he's definitely treated as though he's not completely a total

freaking moron and for that because of that i want to point out what happened with him on Sunday on CNN. It didn't happen

with it. It was how these people operate. By these people, I mean both Jeffries and Danabash,

I mean Democrats and Democrats, whether they're elected to Congress

or whether they are in the press corps. Danabash asks Hakeem Jeffries about ICE working in the airports

and helping alleviate the mess of the long lines.

Or it could take four or five hours to get through security, depending on how big the airport is.
