Way out, and no safety no matter who you are. Thats tonight on this side. Good evening. Im abby phillip in new york. And tonight, the president says that he is outraged and heartbroken after seven aid workers were killed while simply doing their jobs in gaza. Hes demanding a full explanation from israel and hes also accusing the netanyahu government of not doing enough to protect civilians quote, this is not a standalone incident. The president is saying tonight, and hes right about that here is a number that too few people know. When hundred and 96 that is the number of aid workers that have been killed since israel and hamas went to war in gaza on october 7, that toll is a stain on humanity and on monday the shock that an attack left seven people, heroes literally blown apart it was not even the first time that workers with jose andress organization were attacked by israeli firepower. Tonight amid resounding outrage israel admits it made a mistake it was a mistake that followed a Myth Identification at night during a war in a very complex condition, we are thoroughly for the unintentional harm to the members of wck we sharing the grief of the families, as well as the entire World Central Kitchen Organization from the bottom of our hearts unintentional harm, a mistake israel wants the world to see this as simply a fog of war, accident but even that raises all kinds of questions about whether they really know who they are targeting in real time well get into more detail about what we know about what happened in this particular incident in a moment, but simply put, this organization did everything right. Their cars were marked, their movements were coordinated with the idf and yet there were multiple strikes, not just one the cost of Feeding Millions of people whose lives have been torn apart by war, should not be paid in blood and we say it too often here on the show and it is true. Yet again tonight. But we are about to show you is extremely graphic. It is disturbing but it is the Reality Black Body Bags piled into the back of an ambulance foreign passports belonging to those Men And Women inside of them pictures showing what they looked like before the bombs mangled their bodies before. Beyond recognition the worst of it we cannot show you in good conscience Limbs Burst Open by shrapnel. The volunteers arrayed in a row, close turned black, and red from blood their faces cold and blank other faces that dont look like faces at all anymore we have to emphasize that these are not combatants. They were in gaza because they wanted to make sure that people didnt starve but they knew the risks. And yet they also knew that under international law, their work is supposed to be protected tonight crowds shepherding a palestinian volunteer for the group, made a makeshift resting place. You can see that World Central Kitchen emblem draped over the white trout as lines of mourners. There pray in the background right now, the Israeli Government has promised to throw an independent review of what went wrong and as you heard, a top Military Official says those strikes occurred because of a mistake that followed a miss identification what that misidentification was, we dont yet know but its an account that will likely be met with extreme skepticism at this point so heres what we know tonight about what happened this week. On saturday close to 400 tons of food began to ship out from cyprus toward gaza. World central kitchen organized the shipment on vessels that they called open arms monday morning, the desperately needed aid has arrived in gaza and later that day, the workers begin to unload some of that food at this warehouse in central gaza. Monday night, World Central Kitchen says its aid workers were traveling down the Aisle Rashid Coastal Road and what is a Deconflicted Zone . They were in three vehicles, nearly 3. 5 miles south. The first vehicle was struck you can see a whole completely ripping through the charitys logo that was on the roof of the armored car there were two other strikes that rain down in quick succession. One vehicle was hit about a half a mile further down the road and the third came to a stop another mile down the road. By the end of it, seven aid workers just trying to feed the hungry were killed. One of them, Australian National Zomi Frankcom earlier today, jake tapper spoke to zomi, is close friend about her humanitarian work the children that she fed in palestine and the children that she had in haiti or the ukraine in oci view them and its like part of her larger extended family. She met them with the smiles you met them with humanity and the world is this like a darker place without somebody like that today damian sobol was another victim of the strikes, the 35 had been a long time World Central Kitchen worker traveling to wartorn ukraine and morocco after last years earthquake joining me now is damian is close friend and a fellow World Central Kitchen volunteer, aparna bronze aparna, thank you so much for joining us. First of all, i am so very sorry for the loss of your friend. You met damian when you were both volunteering in morocco and you called him one of the Bright Lights in those horrible months. What can you tell us all about him . Well, i actually met Damian For The First Time when i joined World Central Kitchen in poland during the ukraine war i, met him in may of 2022 he was one of those people. He was one of the first people i met and he was one of those people that just, exuded goodness he was kind. He was smiling, he was joyful, he was helpful and there was i would not say theres a Single Person who he has not touched. That volunteered at World Central Kitchen in, in poland. I spent a month in may over there and then i was back again for a month july. And when you work with someone in such close quarters for so many days in a row you see a side of them that you dont get to see very often i left poland and damian and i kept an occasional contact but then when morocco had the earthquake and i chose to go there i was still a little confused about what was needed. And so i contacted a bunch of people and of course, damian was the first person to answer damian was the first person to tell me how to where to go, where to get transportation, where to stay, what to expect this was at a time when he was really busy trying to wrap his his time in morocco to go to egypt but it didnt stop him. I mean, if anybody needed help and you saw i saw that very much in poland when he man the kitchens he was kind and helpful to the volunteers that were working there, to the people that were coming off the refugees that were coming off the trains. He made sure everybody had what they needed. And you never realized how hard he worked behind the scenes because it was all always there as you were talking about him . I was watching the video that we have of him and youre describing him as just an optimistic, bright person. You can just see it in his face doing this really, really, really difficult work going to gaza. You hear it from so many aid workers is just on a different level of really destruction and difficulty. Did you ever hear damien as he was doing this work, expressed concerns about his own safety and about the risks and the sacrifices that he was making to do this kind of work you know, i dont really think he ever thought of it as sacrifices. He was there to help people we the last time he and i communicated was on february 24 and he said this was an i dont quite understand what he meant by that, but he said this was his second more time in gaza and he just said the world is going crazy and that was really it. And he was just working hard to make sure he could help the people that needed to be fed, taken care off as much as he could. Never once. Never once did he talk of being afraid or concerned about where he was his focus really was on helping the people thank you for sharing that with us. I mean, its so extraordinary to hear that when he felt like the world was going crazy, his first thought was to go right there. I think that says so much about him. Thank you so much. Aparna for joining us tonight and talking to us about your friend thank you for making his name known. And since that attack, a number of Aid Organizations not just World Central Kitchen, theyve announced that they are pausing their humanitarian efforts in gaza. And that includes American Near East Refugee Aid or an era in a statement meant the group wrote, delivering aid safely is no longer feasible. Its the first time in its 55 year history that this organization has needed to pause operations joining me now is rebecca abu should eat. She is a board member of an era. Rebecca. Thank you very much for joining us and im sorry, again, under the circumstances, i wonder what are you hearing tonight from your teams who are on the ground and gaza. And my understanding is so many of them are gazans. They are in that community. And this is not just about suspending aid in an oblique sense, its about suspending aid for their own loved ones as well. Yeah, abby, thank you our staff has been working every single day for the past six months in gaza theyve delivered an on average 150,000 meals a day. Theyve been delivering health care, psychosocial services, hygiene products. We are all incredibly proud of everything that theyve done and theyve done it. They cant leave. They cant come, they cant they cant come and go theyre under indiscriminate bombing every day. Theyve been displaced multiple times they are living under the same famine as the community that they are part of. That theyre serving. So it was with a heavy heart that i think they made the decision that we needed to temporarily pause our operations in gaza. And as do you noted, this is the first time in our history that weve had to do that. Its also the first time in the history that we lost a team member almost a month ago, we lost mousa shawwa, and his sixyearold son, karim, a few weeks later from a Missile Strike can you tell us rebecca a little bit more about what happened there . I mean, i just want people to understand the work that goes into trying to protect the people doing this work my understanding is that you all made every effort to prevent this exact thing from happening. So why did it . Thats right. I mean, thats a question for the Israeli Military and a question weve been asking every day since mousa was killed. As you noted, just like World Central Kitchen, we have experienced in this and we did everything right. Theres something called deconfliction in these war zones where you let the Military Know where youre going to be the providing aid where youre staff is living, where there is sheltering and we did that and we reconfirmed the coordinates just a few days before the house that musah was living in was struck. And that is why with a heavy heart, we had to suspend operations today. As you see, mousa, he had been working for the day. He still had his inr for our vest on and he came home and he was struck by a missile and many of his family were also injured. So we cant keep people safe at home. We cant keep people safe when theyre actually in the field delivering aid, like our colleagues were at World Central Kitchen, who also let the israelis know exactly when theyre convoy would be traveling and so this is an unsustainable disaster. You know, weve spent a lot of time talking about getting aid into gaza by air, by land, by sea. But less time i think thinking about the fact that its human beings that reliably distribute that aid its a network that was built up by organizations like a neera over decades, we have over 20 staff and gaza, but we have over 450 volunteers who make sure that that aid is distributed in a calm, safe, reliable manner, and if that network falls apart, you cant deliver aid by Remote Control you cant recreate that overnight. And thats the red flag that we have been waving for weeks red flag indeed, rebecca, President Biden, as im sure youve seen, he released a pretty strongly worded statement tonight he calls it a pattern. He says this is a major reason why distributing humanitarian aid in gaza has been so difficult because israel has not done enough to protect aid workers trying to deliver desperately needed civilian help to civilians thats mirror to what you just told us. But to hear it from the president of the United States what do you think he needs to do to change that . Well, it is a pattern and so i mean, if you notice, what role central kitchen, one of their members Staff Members wasnt american citizen i think relying on an investigation by the israelis alone is not sufficient. I think the Us Government needs to do their own investigation we need an immediate ceasefire, a surgery of surge of humanitarian aid a cable from us aid that came out tonight said that there is flour that could feed 1. 5 Million People for five months, sitting. And ashdod that has not been allowed in its 25 miles from gaza, we need to surge of humanitarian aid and we need real credible, reliable assurances that we can keep our workers safe so that we can resume operations rebecca, a boucher deed with their narrow thank you very much for sharing with us and we do hope that youre able to resume the important work that you all have been doing over these last few months. Thanks again. Thank you.

Com we know who the nominees are going to this november, but the primaries are still going on through june. And tonights some democratic wisconsin voters are using their ballots to send a message to President Biden there point is that the president s support for israel is no longer okay, as the crisis and gaza grows worse by the de, joining me now is Palestinian American layla elabed. Shes the cochair of the uncommitted national movement. Shes also the sister of democratic congresswoman Rashida Tlaib of michigan leyla thanks for joining us again, you urged wisconsin voters ahead of todays primary to take a cue from your home state of michigan. Michigan, where uncommitted got a pretty big vote, about 100,000 votes were just now starting to see some of the votes coming in and wisconsin, its not quite at that level, about 9. 5 little over half of the precincts reporting. But i wonder at this point past michigan and some of the states, minnesota, where this movement is likely to be the most prominent what are you hoping to accomplish ahead of november what were hoping to accomplish is an opportunity to continue pressuring President Biden and his administration that he needs to listen to his core constituency now, in order to save his presidency and the white house come november and we plan to take that pressure into the dnc with the delegates that weve won states, including michigan, minnesota, washington, state other states that the uncommitted movement did not have a direct didnt directly support. But including wisconsin when those numbers come out we did see i mean, to your point about pressure or the administration has shifted, theyve called now for theyre using the word ceasefire to begin with. Theyre calling for alternatives to a full Ground Invasion of rafah they are issuing pretty strongly worded statements even tonight, President Biden making it clear that he holds israel responsible for failing to protect civilians. There do you see the pressure having an effect at this point i do feel that the uncommitted movement and the states that have had very strong Protest Votes have had a direct impact on the Language Shift and this has been a direct result of all of these campaigns. But words are not enough we need a policy change a lasting ceasefire, and an end to funding war and occupation against the palestinian people. And to me, this is not a messaging problem. This is a funding bombs problem. Ella. Thank you very much for joining us with that update and i want to bring in now a cnn political commentator and former White House Communications director for the trump administration. Alyssa farah griffin, also Senior Reporter for the root. Jessica washington and editor at large for reason, as well as cohost of the fifth column, matt welch alyssa a couple of things have been happening tonights but a pretty busy night. Normally the white house will hold an iftar dinner at the white house actually, leyla in the past has been at that dinner. She was not there tonight they decided to hold just a smaller one for just staff and they had a meeting instead, but a doctor, a palestinian doctor who was in attendance. He walked out in protest. He said it was out of respect for his community does this give you an indication of how tough this problem is going to be for this white house to solve and how big of an issue it will be electorally. Listen, Biden Hands Down has an issue with regard to the ongoing war in gaza. But if ive made issue a warning to the Arab American Community as an Arab American theyre playing with fire. I understand that hearts are breaking overweight whats happening in palestine, that is reasonable. They should speak up, they should use their voice as they should encourage better policies. But this is very quickly becoming a Binary Choice between donald trump and joe biden. Donald trump would, would not rule out leveling gaza if he thought that that was the politically savvy thing to do, that his supporters wanted to do he cut aid to the Palestinian Authority when he was the president. So this notion that you would gamble at such a critical time, i think is incredibly risky. But joe biden also needs to be messaging in these community communities. He needs to be speaking in michigan. Its a good place, frankly, to use the former president barack obama to try to reach this community i mean, its, its an Important Note that youre hearing from a lot of democrats. Theyre worried that this is its going to have Unintended Consequences of basically ushering in another trump term, which would be their view, catastrophic for gazans . Yeah. No, i mean, there are serious concerns about how this is going to play out politically. I think what youre seeing in part and her this for multiple sources, the administration was unprepared for the amount of ire over this issue. For the amount of people that would feel so strongly about this, i think up until pretty recently, i dont think they saw how big of a political problem this was, how passionately people were feeling about this issue. So i do think this is definitely not going away even if they had anticipated that earlier on. And were going to see this continue to play out there. The election. So matt, meanwhile, trump is campaigning wisconsin and michigan. I want to play a little bit about what hes been saying might happen if biden were to win another election if we dont win or november 5th, i think our country is going to cease to exist. It could be the last election we ever have. I actually mean that im sorry. Its just been eight years at some point. I mean, what does that even mean i it doesnt mean anything. He literally has been saying this since 2016, like we cant have a country if we dont have what are theres no country. He says stuff like that all the time. This apocalyptic rhetoric if we allow democrats to have control, i think itll be interesting to see what he says about israel and palestine, gaza. All right, now, because basically his message is he wants to get those disaffected voters, but he also wants to make sure to maintain the republican base, republic we can support this much more than democrats do in terms of israels policy. So he will just say this wouldnt have happened if i was there. And were going to be friends to israel, but maybe they going a little bit too far. Hes not going to commit himself over much. What we have to remember is that in wisconsin and michigan, theres not going to be two names on the ballot. Theres going to be six, there might be seven, there might be eight, and wisconsin, theres going itd be jill stein and the green party if she wins the nomination she wasnt there last time. So theres a place for disaffected leftwing voters who are really mad about the war to go in michigan and wisconsin. So why predict, were going to see a lot of Bernie Sanders trying to go up there and convince people that voted for jill stein is a bad idea. By the way, i would no, there was another protest vote tonight and the republican primary, you saw a number of folks come out about 13 for nikki haleys. So against donald trumps, shes not even in the race and shes no longer in the race. So there is this kind of challenge on both sides. And joe biden has reached out to try to get some of these nikki haley voters, but to matts point, if he if he goes too far away from supporting israel, you risk alienating thats sort of soft moderate republican so i have to ask you this because, you know, trump as well as anybody. He tonight at the rally set up a podium and called for debates with joe biden. What are the chances that he actually does that well, he was smart is smart politics and be the first one to ask for it because he gets till that time it him though. I dont think he can get out of it. Any which way and hes not an honest broker and he doesnt trust the conventions that send it up. We know last time he lied about his covid diagnosis ahead of the debate. So i think he wants to look like the tough guy who wants to debate, but he has a lot of flexibility to get out of it. Just go do you think i mean two beats bring up this issue. There was a report that the white house wants more people to see trump rallies. The whole thing because theyre so wild and in some cases, on a hinge the maybe they are having the opposite problems that people are not hearing trump quite enough. Do you think that they want debates with trump to really put that center stage yeah. I mean, i think youre definitely right that biden benefits from having trump as his as his opponent and as his foil to say, there are plenty of democratic voters who are not abortion. Hes been teasing all sides of this issue. Where do you think he lands and what its going to be the impact . I think that hes going to run far to the left of the Republican Party on abortion. Youve already heard some signals to that the republic went too far, that some of this sixweek stuff is crazy. Youre going to lose elections because this is one of the biggest weaknesses i think of the republican in his candidacy right now is that this has been motivating democratic voters pretty reliably in Swing Districts for a while now and its not that hard to re remind people that theres people out there doing ivf bills. Theres always going to be someone whos going to show up and Say Something pretty draconian. Trumps gonna be wearing that and its gonna be pretty easy for democrats to remind him that he is one who appoints Supreme Court justice. Yeah, i think that is exactly what theyre going to be reminding people. Ive come november at matt alyssa and jessica. Thank you very much. All of you tonights Breaking News as 7. 4 magnitude earthquake was just detected in taiwan, almost immediately followed by a 6. 5 magnitude aftershock tsunami alerts are up across the Pacific Ocean and reports of devastating damage are still rolling in lets.

It flips across America Live Monday at one Hillary Clinton is getting a little candid. She sat down with the tonights shows, jimmy fallon, and the former president ial candidate had a pretty blunt message for voters who are disappointed with a likely match up between donald trump and joe biden. This remember get over yourself. Those are the two choices. Yeah, i love that. And its kind of like one, is old and effective and compassionate, has a heart and really cares about people. And what is old and has been charged with 91 felony people who blow that off or not paying attention because its not like trump, his enablers has empowers is allies are not telling us what they want to do. I mean, theyre pretty clear about what kind of country they want. Yeah joining me now is steven a. Smith . Hes the host of espns first take, and the Stephen Smith show on Youtube Steven great to have you onset. So what do you make of that . Get over it . I dont think it was a very wise statement on her part. How did that work out for her in 2016 . I think thats something that we have to recognize you as she won the popular vote. But at the end of the day, she wasnt present in United States. It was him. You can look at hard not campaigning and wisconsin in the last day is not campaigning in pennsylvania in the last days, you can look at some of the stuff that they were saying about her but its sort of distracted things from where it should have been in terms of comey and his report from the fbi, you can bring up a whole bunch of things, but at the end of the de, the last thing you need to do is to do anything that could agitate a potential voted in this particular election. What do you make about the actual argument that shes made me shes basically saying to old people, yes. Yes. But theres substantively different. I mean, absolutely. One was on counts against and almost nobody has brought that up more than me for four indictments, 91 counts impeached twice. Im not voting for him. Ive said that to a lot of people. Ive said that to you. But at the end of the day, what im saying is that at some point in time you got to take into account what the Voltage Thinking about the voters. A lot of them out there, Tens Of Millions of them out there, by the way, dont care what hes going through right now. They dont care about his guilt or innocence is perceived guilt or innocence. They dont care about the 91 counts that thinking about their lives and a lot of times we see politicians taken the positions that theyre taking a while we can respect their candidate and their honesty. They do seem a bit detached at time from what the voters are actually feeling and what the voters are actually taking. Nobody wants to hear that from Hillary Rotten Clinton at this particular moment in time, because especially if youre joe biden, what are you really, really worried about right now . You worried about folks coming to the polls. Youre very about them showing up to the polls to vote for you. Youre not worried even about them voting for trump. Youre worried about them not showing up to vote for you that doesnt exactly encourage them to get up out of their seats and go to the boat i mean, it enough to tell voters you should be afraid of what could happen if trump is elected. That was the other part of the point. Well, normally i would say yes, the problem is is an age old moved by by both party in a Binary System that were living with, the republicans would tell you youve got so much to fear. I mean, look at the streets, look at the lack of safety, look at some of the things that are going on look at the Immigration Crisis, and theyll point to the left, the left, well look at the right and it will say look at all of this stuff thats going on. Do you want to turn back the clock do you want to resort going back to a days that there are a lot of folks who support trump wish come across as wishing as if we were back in the 60s, 50s theyll say things like that. And so what happens is that ultimately if you Say Something enough, your with your whistling into the wind, its nothing new that were hearing now compared to what weve heard before us specifically as it pertains to trump that clearly is different. 91 counts, four indictments, twice and beach that is a diff animal. There is no doubt about that. But all in all what you hear the rhetoric coming from one side or another in the end, does it really, really sound that much different to you . The answer to the voters has been no. Well, let me ask you this. I mean, trump literally is out on the Campaign Trails right now. Hes talking about a border bloodbath. Hes blaming immigrants for crime there is a difference in rhetoric. Well, you say i mean, trump is every day using violent rhetoric on the campaign. Yeah, because it works it works with Tens Of Millions of voters. See thats what we have to get to it. We have to get down as we talked about in an election, youre talking about whatever its going to take to when you have a whole bunch of American Citizens who firmly believed that what hes saying is the reality in their eyes. They look at footage, they look at things that have transpired over the television airwaves, the kind of things that would be a disseminated to the masses. And they are literally scared. You have people talking about theres an Immigration Crisis and theyre showing one piece of footage after another, after another. I can tell you as a black man from i was queens, new york city. I have never in my lifetime hurt black folks alluded to there being an Immigration Crisis more than now, evidently, its working, you know, that its working with an abundance of white americans. This is a message that actually right now, i know that its intended to resonate with black voters i think its actually working absolutely. And let me tell you something right now. Ive got a lot of hispanic friends, brothers, assistance, and the latino community. There talking about it because they came over here legally dated and they didnt come across american slides illegally. And as a result, theyre talking about its an Immigration Crisis. Theyre talking about how people need to get get a lot. Theyre talking about how people need to come in here legally. Theyre saying that about, their, you know, their own folks. And so when you take that into consideration and then youre looking at black folks who have been speaking about it. And then youd think about inflation and you think about immigration and you think about new york city and 53 million prepaid cards. And what have you, black folks are symbols thank saying, wait a minute, what about us . What about us . Once again with the bottom of the food chain, whether its xenophobia, its homophobia, and transphobia. Anything else . Everything seems to be more important than black people in the eyes of a lot of black people. And when youve got somebody like trump everybodys, hes reminding everybody what he said years ago. What are you have to lose . Excuse me, that kind of stuff resonates with some, maybe not me, maybe not you, but theres a whole bunch of people out there in the streets of america. Thats hard work and is going to work everyday. Thats trying to make ends meet, pay their bills and what have you that stuff resonates with them and they dont want to see anything distracting anybody from their problems. And when you go to the polls, what do you think . Think about .

It is the ladies of the nc doublet that are soaring to new heights more than 12 Million People tuned in last night to the Epic Elite Eight rematch between the Iowa Hawkeyes and lsu tigers, shattering the previous record for a Womans College basketball game nearly 10 Million People during last Years National championship final. Now, this is also the time when espn history was made. It was its the mostwatched College Basketball game ever across all of its platforms espn host Stephen Smith is back here with us. This is such a major moment, not just for these young women, but also for womens sports just in general, it wasnt just the mostwatched Womens Basketball game. It was the mostwatched game of all kinds of different different categories. Do you think that this is actually one of those moments where well look back and say this is the moment that things really started to shift for womens think so Caitlin Clark is a superstar. Lets make no mistake about it. Shes the steph curry of Womens Basketball. She she shoots from the parking lot. She pulls up from the logo. She says session or talent, and she has all the requisite tools that go along with issues incredibly marketable as a talent, shes incredibly marketable as a person. Shes prideful, shes highly competitive, shes an ambassador for the game. And more importantly, she competes in an incredibly high level. She lost last year to lsu. That was in the National Championship game prior to losing that game, she had one a game against an undefeated 36. No. University of South Carolina team led by dawn staley, by dropping 41 points. And thats semifinal game. What does she do last night in an elite eight to avenge the National Championship game lost to lsu. She drops another 41 in threes. She was just all over the place pulling up from the logo. Shes a sensational talent, but theres also a lot of sensational talent within the world of Womens Basketball angel reese is an incredibly talented present, 20 rebounds last night, university of South Carolina led by dawn staley, i just mentioned over the last two seasons that this 72 and one only loss was to Caitlin Clark last year in the semifinals backtoback undefeated seasons over the last three years, her record is like 105 and three. What a National Title and three. I mean, this is what this is what dawn staley brings to the table last night, a young lady by the name of juju watkins, whos a freshman at usc, average do 27 points in a tournament, clearly is going to be the freshman of the year. Shes a superstar in the making as well. And thats just college. Lets not forget the wnba. Would asia wilson becky hamm is coaching that team, then being backtoback champions in the wnba and all the while, the Market Ability that they bring to the table table because unlike a lot of guys throughout history, these ladies dont seem to get themselves in trouble. What im that makes them more marketable on madison avenue, not to say most. All guys do that because theres a lot of great. Do you think that theres something so interesting . I my personal thing about Caitlin Clark and i her star power is that theres a narrative here. Theres a story line and its not all rainbows and butterflies. These are competitive women and they want to win. That competition is showing up in the trash talk on the court thats part of it too. I to me, it seems like one of the reasons this is happening is because youre seeing women competing kinda like the guys do. Well, thats a good point that you make. And i think that last last night when Lsu Lost We Saw angel reese crying. We saw her teammates coming to her defense. She talked about how hard life had been and how she hadnt been happy since she had won the national to play it out, just so people can say, mr. Last night, thats less death threats. Ive been sexualized, ive been threatened, not been so many things, and im still strong every single time, im still like all this has happened since i want the National Championship and i said that the day im happy since then first of all, i have to say, i mean, it is heartbreaking to watch that young woman feel that way and how to express that publicly. But at the same time viewers, sports fans, they want to connect. They want to connect with angel reese in that moment. Well, i think thats true, but i think the one thing that angel reese should have a smile on her face about is that the proverbial villain that some people had her as thats what leads to elevating the level of attraction in a sport what does well, guess what, you wouldnt be a villain if you lose it, you wouldnt be a villain if you didnt matter, you wouldnt be a villain if you were relevant. She was a villain because she was a champion, because she was better than everybody else in the war, because lsu tigers went out and won a National Championship. If she let you all know just how great her and her team were last year . Then it come back this year and they went 29 games and they one game away from the final four. And the person that took them out happens to be the best College Basketball player in Womens Basketball on the planet right now. And so when you look at it from that perspective, you have to appreciate the fact that anytime youre looking for somebody, are you looking for the popularity that element . There has to be somebody who plays the role of a villain would bird and magic in the early 80s. And what have you here was the interesting part, some peoples eyes bird was the villain, as some peoples eyes, magic was the villain. It depends on whether you preferred blue collar, you preferred show time. They understood that everybody is not going to like you. Everybody is not going to love you. But thats what comes along with greatness or so where we see a jewrys year, it is heartbreaking the watch her go through an express our emotions the way that she did in terms of chronicling what she endured. But if youre angel reese understand that if you didnt mean anything, if you were not that special they would not be bothering you. They wouldve never bothered. They did it because youre great and they wish that they were great to it comes with the greatness. Theres a lot of greatness in the future for both angel reese and for Caitlin Clark was red. What is the future hold real quick before we go for both of them . Well, both of them are going to be in the wnba both of them ago have illustrious careers. But what im thinking about Caitlin Clark is this friday, shes gone against young lady by the name of Paige Bueckers from uconn. And she was out last year with a knee injury. What her freshman year she was then National Player of the year. She is a sensational talent in and of itself, in which you solve at those ratings last night, over well, 0. 3 Million People let me encourage all the numb to watch espn is friday night, because were knows to go out.
