[0:00] I DON'T KNOW, MAYBE THIS WOMAN [0:01] WISHES SHE COULD APOLOGIZE FOR [0:02] IT, BUT IT'S CRINGY. [0:04] IT'S A VIRAL MOMENT AGAIN FOR [0:06] DEMOCRATS. [0:07] NOT ON A NATIONAL SCALE THIS [0:09] TIME, BUT LOCALLY JUST KIND OF [0:10] LETTING YOU KNOW WHAT'S [0:12] HAPPENING WITH THAT PARTY AND [0:13] PICKING CANDIDATES. [0:14] YOU JUST GOT TO WATCH IT. [0:15] JAMIE WEST, CANDIDATE FOR [0:16] FAYETTE COUNTY COUNCIL IN [0:18] INDIANA, HAS PEOPLE SCRATCHING [0:20] THEIR HEADS AFTER A BIZARRE RANT [0:21] DURING A LOCAL TV INTERVIEW. [0:24] JAMIE WEST STRUGGLED TO ANSWER [0:26] QUESTIONS COHERENTLY DURING A [0:28] CANDIDATE FOR HIM, AS SHE [0:30] DEFINITELY TARGETED REPUBLICANS [0:31] THE ENTIRE TIME, SHE GOT OFF TO A [0:33] ROCKY START WHEN SHE ADMITTED, [0:35] I DON'T HAVE AN OPENING [0:36] STATEMENT PREPARED. [0:39] MY NAME IS JAMIE WEST. [0:40] I'M A MOTHER OF THREE. [0:42] THEY'RE ALL GROWN CHILDREN. [0:43] THEY'RE ALL PRETTY SUCCESSFUL. [0:44] I'M PROUD OF THEM. [0:46] I OWN A CLEANING BUSINESS CALLED [0:48] QUEEN BEE'S CLEANING LLC BECAUSE [0:51] I AM AN ENVIRONMENTALIST. [0:53] I DO. [0:54] THAT'S WHY I NAMED IT THAT. [0:55] AND I AM A GIG WORKER. [0:57] I DELIVER A LOT OF GROCERIES AND [1:01] PACKAGES FOR MY COMMUNITY. [1:02] SO IF YOU TRUST ME, YOU KNOW, [1:05] DELIVERING YOUR GROCERIES, YOU [1:07] SHOULD TRUST ME WITH YOUR VOTE. [1:09] YOU KNOW? [1:10] YOU KNOW? [1:11] COME ON. [1:12] OH, NO. [1:13] THE COUCH IS, LIKE, ERUPTING A [1:15] LAUGHTER. [1:16] QUEEN BEE, AKA JAMIE WEST, THEN [1:18] PIVOTED TO SLAMMING IMMIGRATION [1:20] AND CUSTOMS ENFORCEMENT OR ICE. [1:22] I DON'T KNOW. [1:23] I DON'T KNOW. [1:24] SHE'S NOT FIGHTING A LITTLE [1:25] REPUBLICANS FOR STEALING JOBS [1:26] AND ACCUSING A LOCAL SHERIFF'S [1:27] NEPHEW OF THREATENING HER LIFE. [1:28] HERE SHE IS RESPONDING WHEN ASK [1:29] ABOUT AN UNPOPULAR MOVE SHE [1:31] WOULD MAKE IF SHE GOT ELECTED. [1:34] FIGHTING ALL REPUBLICANS. [1:36] I WOULDN'T LET THEM. [1:37] I MEAN, I DON'T EVEN TALK TO [1:39] THEM. [1:40] I DON'T LIKE THEM. [1:41] I MEAN, THEY VOTED AGAINST OUR [1:44] OWN STATE REPRESENTATIVE VOTED [1:46] TO HER OWN PARTY. [1:47] I MEAN, WHAT DO YOU WANT ME TO [1:49] SAY? [1:53] I DON'T LIKE BEING AROUND THEM. [1:54] I'VE BEEN THREATENED SO MANY [1:56] TIMES TO MY FACE BY MAGA, WE'LL [2:00] CALL THEM. [2:01] BECAUSE THERE'S REPUBLICANS WHO [2:03] ACTUALLY GET IT. [2:06] YOU KNOW, THERE ARE GOOD [2:08] REPUBLICANS OUT THERE. [2:09] BUT, YOU KNOW, WHAT ARE YOU [2:11] GOING TO DO? [2:12] WELL, THAT BRINGS US TO YOUR [2:15] OPPORTUNITY TO SAY JUST A FEW [2:17] LAST WORDS TO THE VOTERS. [2:20] WE HAVE GUNS, TOO. [2:25] OH, BOY. [2:27] YEAH, THAT JUST GOT REAL. [2:28] YOU KNOW WHO'S TALKING ABOUT [2:29] IT? [2:30] THE FAYETTE COUNTY SHERIFF, [2:31] ZACH JONES, WHO SHARED HIS [2:33] DISAPPOINTMENT AFTER JAMIE WEST'S [2:34] STRANGE PERFORMANCE. [2:35] HERE'S WHAT HE TOLD FOX DIGITAL [2:37] QUOTE, IT'S A SAD DAY WHEN THIS [2:39] IS THE BEST THE DEMOCRAT PARTY [2:41] CAN GET TO RUN FOR THIS IMPORTANT [2:43] LOCAL OFFICE. [2:44] YEAH, THAT LAST PART IS [2:46] SOMETHING DIFFERENT, JENNIFER. [2:48] ABOUT THE GUNS. [2:49] I MEAN, THAT'S NOT EVEN FUNNY. [2:50] I KNOW. [2:51] AND I THINK RANTS CAN BE [2:53] DANGEROUS, TOO. [2:54] YOU KNOW, IT HEIGHTENS PEOPLE. [2:56] AND THEN TO END WITH SAYING, YOU [2:58] KNOW, WE HAVE GUNS TOO, I TAKE [3:00] THAT AS A THREAT. [3:01] AND THAT'S VERY SCARY. [3:03] AND IT'S SCARY THAT THAT'S [3:05] SOMEONE THAT COULD BE ELECTED. [3:07] I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHAT TO SAY. [3:09] I THOUGHT IT WAS [3:11] INTERESTING THAT THE REPORTER [3:13] HAD TO THEN DO HER JOB AND SOMEHOW [3:16] TALK BACK TO THIS WOMAN, MAYBE [3:18] KICK ANOTHER QUESTION, MAYBE [3:19] WRAP IT UP. [3:20] I MEAN. [3:21] STRAIGHT-FACED. [3:22] I DON'T KNOW HOW SHE WASN'T [3:23] LAUGHING. [3:25] UNBELIEVABLE. [3:26] LISA. [3:27] THE MODERATOR IS THE STAR OF [3:29] THIS. [3:30] IN ALL THE CLIPS WE SAW, SHE [3:32] DIDN'T WIN. [3:33] YOU COULD DO IT, HARRIS. [3:35] I COULD DO IT. [3:36] YOU COULD DO IT. [3:37] YOU COULD DO IT. [3:38] YOU COULD DO IT. [3:39] HIT HER ON THE GUN QUESTION [3:41] AFTER. [3:42] I DON'T HAVE A GOOD POCKER [3:43] FACE. [3:44] SHE'S RIGHT. [3:45] HAVE HER ON A FAULKNER FOCUS. [3:46] YOU COULD DO THAT. [3:47] MY FACE SHOWS EVERYTHING. [3:48] SO I THINK I WOULD BE SITTING [3:49] THERE LIKE, IS THIS REAL LIFE? [3:50] WHAT IS HAPPENING? [3:51] THE GOOD THING IS, THOSE [3:53] RAMBLINGS ARE FROM A WOMAN WHO [3:54] WILL NEVER WIN BECAUSE [3:56] FAYETTE COUNTY PRESIDENT TRUMP [3:57] WON IN 2024 BY SOMETHING [3:58] LIKE 56 POINTS. [3:59] SO SHE'S NOT GOING TO WIN. [4:01] SHE'S NOT GOING TO WIN. [4:03] SHE'S NOT GOING TO WIN. [4:04] SHE'S NOT GOING TO WIN. [4:05] HOWEVER, ON THE CRAZY GUN [4:07] COMMENT, I DON'T KNOW IF YOU [4:08] GUYS REMEMBER, BUT FORMER [4:09] REPRESENTATIVE ERIC SWALOW, [4:11] REMEMBER HE TWEETED OUT IN [4:13] RESPONSE TO SOMEONE UPSET ABOUT [4:15] A GUN CONFINCATION OP-ED THAT [4:16] HE HAD HAD. [4:17] TWEETED OUT, WELL, THE [4:18] GOVERNMENT HAS NUKES. [4:19] SO I'LL JUST PUT THAT OUT THERE. [4:21] AND THEN ALSO ON THE FIRING [4:23] REPUBLICANS, UC IRVINE DID A [4:25] STUDY WHERE ALMOST HALF OF [4:27] DEMOCRATS HAD EXPERIENCED A [4:28] DEMOCRATS. [4:29] SHE'S NOT GOING TO WIN. [4:30] SHE'S NOT GOING TO WIN. [4:31] SHE'S NOT GOING TO WIN. [4:32] I MEAN, THAT'S KIND OF A [4:34] VIEWPOINT THAT DEMOCRATS SHARE. [4:35] BUT HONESTLY, I KNOW SOME OF [4:37] THE THINGS SHE SAID, CRAZY, [4:38] SCARY, WHATEVER. [4:39] BUT IT'S ALSO HILARIOUS. [4:40] COME ON. [4:41] IT'S REALLY FUNNY. [4:42] SO WHY IS THIS PERSON [4:43] RUNNING AND IS THIS THE BEST [4:45] THAT DEMOCRATS HAVE? [4:46] AGAIN, WE TOOK A LOOK AT THIS [4:47] LOCAL, BUT WE'RE COVERING [4:48] NATIONAL RACES ACROSS THE [4:49] COUNTRY. [4:50] IS THIS? [4:51] SHE'S NOT GOING TO WIN. [4:52] SHE'S NOT GOING TO WIN. [4:53] SHE'S NOT GOING TO WIN. [4:54] SHE'S NOT GOING TO WIN IN [4:55] TERMS OF WHAT SHE WANTS. [4:56] ONE THING I NOTICED ABOUT [4:58] THAT IS THAT IF YOU LOOK AT THE [5:00] SET, THERE'S THE MODERATOR AND [5:01] THEN THERE'S HER. [5:02] AND THERE'S AN EMPTY CHAIR [5:04] WHERE THE OPPOSING, THE OTHER [5:06] OPPONENT IS SUPPOSED TO BE. [5:07] SO DRAWING BACK A LITTLE BIT, [5:10] SHE LOST THE DEBATE TO AN EMPTY [5:12] CHAIR. [5:13] I'M REMINDED OF CLINN EASTWOOD. [5:15] REMEMBER CLINN EASTWOOD [5:17] DID THAT THING RELATIVE TO BIDEN? [5:19] SHE'S NOT GOING TO WIN. [5:20] SHE'S NOT GOING TO WIN. [5:21] SHE'S NOT GOING TO WIN. [5:22] SHE'S NOT GOING TO WIN. [5:23] SHE'S NOT GOING TO WIN. [5:24] I THINK HAS A FEW PROBLEMS. [5:25] SOMEBODY SHOULD PROBABLY KNOCK ON [5:26] HER DOOR RELATIVE TO THE GUN THING. [5:27] IN ALL SERIOUSNESS. [5:28] DOESN'T MEAN YOU'RE GOING TO [5:29] TAKE THE DOOR. [5:30] WE ALL TALK AFTER SOMETHING [5:31] TERRIBLE HAPPENS ABOUT WELL, [5:32] DIDN'T NOBODY KNOW THIS? [5:33] IS THERE NO RED FLAG LAWS, [5:34] ET CETERA? [5:35] SHE ENDS THE THING BY LOOKING AT [5:36] THE CAMERA. [5:37] SHE'S SLURRING AND SHE SAYS WE HAVE [5:39] AROUND THE WORLD. [5:40] SHE'S NOT GOING TO WIN. [5:41] SHE'S NOT GOING TO WIN. [5:42] YOU HAVE TO KNOCK ON THE DOOR AND [5:43] JUST HAVE A CONVERSATION. [5:44] DOESN'T MEAN YOU'RE COMING IN [5:45] THROUGH THE WINDOW. [5:46] THERE'S A PROBLEM. [5:47] YOU JUST DON'T KNOW WHERE [5:48] PEOPLE ARE. [5:49] WE KNOW THIS CULTURE THAT WE [5:50] HAVE NOW. [5:51] I ALMOST DON'T WANT TO USE THE [5:53] WORD. [5:54] IT'S TRUE. [5:55] IT'S AN ASSASSINATION CULTURE. [5:56] I DON'T WANT TO GO TOO FAR WITH [5:57] THIS. [5:58] WE DON'T REALLY KNOW WHAT HER [5:59] INTENTIONS ARE. [6:00] SHE JUST MAY HAVE SAID SOMETHING [6:01] STUPID AND IL-ADVISED. [6:02] IT'S LIKE WHAT YOU SAID. [6:03] YOU DON'T KNOW WHO SEES THAT. [6:05] EXACTLY. [6:06] IN AN AUDIENCE. [6:07] AND WHEN YOU'RE MAKING [6:09] STATEMENTS LIKE THAT AND IT'S A [6:11] RANT, IT'S LIKE SOMETHING IS [6:12] WRONG. [6:13] I NEVER EVEN THOUGHT ABOUT IT [6:15] LIKE YOU SAID, PAUL. [6:16] JUST ASK HER. [6:17] IT DOESN'T MEAN IT HAS TO BE [6:19] ENFORCEMENT HEAVY. [6:20] WHY NOT ASK HER? [6:21] IS THERE SOMETHING GOING ON IN [6:22] YOUR LIFE? [6:23] INTERESTING. [6:24] YEAH. [6:25] WHEREVER SHE WENT TO HAPPY [6:27] HOUR BEFORE THAT INTERVIEW, I [6:29] HOPE SHE LEFT HIM A GREAT TIP [6:30] HOUR BEFORE. [6:32] I'M SURE SHE DID SOME GREAT [6:33] SERVICE THERE. [6:34] I THINK TO LISA'S POINT, THOUGH, [6:36] YOU KNOW, IT SOUNDS CRAZY WHAT [6:37] SHE'S SAYING. [6:38] I THINK THE PROBLEM IS THAT IT [6:40] MIGHT NOT BE AS RARE AS WE WOULD [6:42] LIKE IT TO BE. [6:43] WE REMEMBER BACK IN 2020, JAMES [6:45] BENNETT LOST HIS JOB AS THE [6:47] NEW YORK TIMES OPINION EDITOR [6:48] FOR RUNNING A SITTING SENATORS [6:50] OP-ED. [6:51] SARAH HUCKABEE SANDERS WAS ASKED TO [6:53] LEAVE A VIRGINIA RESTAURANT IN [6:55] 2018 AND AN ARKANSAS RESTAURANT JUST [6:57] THIS YEAR. [6:58] I THINK THEY WOULD LIKE TO [7:01] LEAVE A VIRGINIA RESTAURANT. [7:02] A 2025 SURVEY FOUND THAT 68% OF [7:04] DEMOCRATS SAID THAT THEY WOULD [7:05] NOT BE WILLING TO DATE SOMEONE [7:07] WITH OPPOSING VIEWS ON DONALD [7:08] TRUMP. [7:09] AND JUST 7% OF DEMOCRATS SAID [7:11] THAT THEY WOULD WANT TO BE [7:13] FRIENDS WITH THE TRUMP VOTERS. [7:14] SO THESE ARE ACTUALLY PRETTY [7:16] WIDESPREAD ISSUES. [7:17] WHAT IS IT THAT DRIVES THEM TO [7:20] SORT OF ISOLATE THEMSELVES FROM [7:21] THEIR COMMUNITY? [7:22] WELL, IF THEY'VE BEEN EDUCATED [7:24] AT THESE INCUBATORS THAT WANT TO [7:26] TURN PEOPLE INTO SNOWFLAKES, I [7:27] GET IT. [7:28] THEY DON'T WANT CONSERVATIVES ON [7:29] THEIR CAMPUSES. [7:30] THEY DON'T WANT TO DEAL WITH THE [7:32] OPPOSITION AND DEBATE. [7:33] THEY DON'T WANT TO BE STRONG [7:34] ENOUGH PEOPLE TO DEAL WITH [7:35] CONFRONTATION. [7:36] SO, YEAH, THAT'S WHAT YOU GET [7:38] WITH IT. [7:40] YEAH, ABSOLUTELY. [7:41] COMING UP, A FOX NEWS EXCLUSIVE, [7:44] KAYLEIGH MCINENNEY JUST SAT DOWN [7:46] WITH MICHAEL DESRONVILLE. [7:47] THAT'S THE LONE HOLDOUT JUROR IN [7:49] THE LINDSEY CLANCEY TRIAL. [7:50] HERE'S WHAT HE HAD TO SAY ABOUT [7:52] DELIBERATING WITH HIS FELLOW [7:53] JURORS. [8:11] YOU PAGE FOR DAILY HIGHLIGHTS.
