Our favorite game. oh yes, who won the week? back with me are cornell belcher, kimberly atkins stohr, and george conway. where to go? where to go? where to go? i m going to go to my. right cornell, who won the week? hunter biden won the league. pardon? he went into the lion s den. house of republicans has been calling him out, calling him out, so he called out their bs and showed up at their committee hearing. you know what happened? they lost their minds. they were not prepared for him to show up. and actually sit there and be ready to take their questions, because they don t want an open, fair conversation with hunter biden. he won the week when he showed up. that s fair. that s a good answer. that s a quality answer. kimberly, how do you beat that? who want to wake? very relatedly, i think the gentlelady from texas congresswoman jasmine crockett won the week. when she, during that hearing, school is not only republicans about what right privileges and is not, and gave a
