>> Sandra: REPUBLICANS WINNING
THE ANNUAL CONGRESSIONAL
BASEBALL GAME SHUTTING OUT THE
DEMOCRATS.
IT WAS QUITE AN EVENING.
LOUISIANA CONGRESSMAN STEVE
SCALISE BATTED LEAD-OFF AND
MARKS FIVE YEARS SINCE HE
SURVIVED A SHOOTING AT A
PRACTICE GAME.
EVER MORE SPECIAL MOMENTS TO
YOU TO BE AT THE GAME LAST
NIGHT.
CONGRATULATIONS ON THE BIG WIN.
HOW DID IT FEEL?
>> THANKS, SANDRA.
IT FEELS GREAT TO WIN.
IN THE WAY EVERYBODY PLAYED IT
WAS PHENOMENAL.
AUGUST PFLUGER HAD A STELLAR
MVP GAME PITCHING AND PLAYING
THIRD BASE.
KEVIN BRADY, RETIRING FROM
CONGRESS HE HAD A 750 ON BASE
PERCENTAGE.
HALL OF FAME NUMBERS.
THE MANAGER HAD US ALL TO GO.
A HARBINGER FOR WHAT IS TO COME
IN NOVEMBER, TOO.
>> Sandra: WHAT HAPPENED WITH
THE DEMOCRATIC REPRESENT FROM
CALIFORNIA AS SHE WALKED BACK
TO THE DUGOUT?
HE FLIPPED THE BIRD TO MEMBERS
OF YOUR PARTY?
WAS SOMETHING SAID TO HER WHEN
SHE DID THAT?
>> I DON’T KNOW.
LOOK, THEY’VE BEEN FRUSTRATED
WITH THEMSELVES FOR A YEAR AND
A HALF.
THEY’VE BEEN DOING THAT
METAPHORICALLY TO THE AMERICAN
PEOPLE WITH HORRIBLE POLICIES.
YOU SEE INFLATION OUT OF
CONTROL, GAS PRICES OUT OF
CONTROL.
I THINK PEOPLE ARE FED UP WITH
WHAT THEY’VE BEEN DOING.
MAYBE THEY’RE FINALLY GETTING
FED UP WITH WHAT THEY’VE BEEN
DOING AND WHAT IT IS DOING TO
FAMILIES ACROSS AMERICA.
>> Sandra: IT IS A MOMENT AND
GOING BACK TO THE UNFORTUNATE
INCIDENT INVOLVING YOU BACK IN
2017 WITH THE SHOOTING AT THE
PRACTICE FOR THIS GAME, YOU
KNOW, THAT MOMENT, THE SILVER
LINING WAS IT HIGHLIGHTED THE
BIPARTISAN NATURE OF THIS GAME
AND HOW THE TWO PARTIES COME
TOGETHER AND YOU HAVE THIS SORT
OF FUN DAY THAT DAY TURNED OUT
DIFFERENTLY.
CHAD PERGRAM WAS ABLE TO CATCH
UP WITH NANCY PELOSI LAST NIGHT
AND HAD THIS EXCHANGE.
>> THIS GAME IS SO GREAT AND
THESE ARE SO NICE.
THAT’S WHAT MAKES IT GREAT.
WE’RE COMPETITIVE AND IT IS
GREAT TO BE HERE, HAVE A LITTLE
FUN.
SOMETIMES I COACH, SOMETIMES
I’M THE UMPIRE.
I HAVE MY POINT OF VIEW BUT
IT’S ALWAYS FUN.
>> Sandra: WANT TO GET YOUR
REACTION TO THAT.
>> I DON’T KNOW IF SHE IS
COACHING THE TEAM OR NOT BUT
LOOK, WE HAVE A LOT OF FUN.
WE DO MAKE REAL FRIENDSHIPS ON
BOTH SIDES WITH THE TEAMMATES
ON THE REPUBLICAN SIDE BUT EVEN
ON THE DEMOCRAT SIDE.
BUT WE’RE COMPETITIVE AND WANT
TO WIN THE GAME.
WE PRACTICED SINCE MARCH AT
6:00 IN THE MORNING.
LOOK, THE REAL WINNERS ARE
CHARITIES BECAUSE WE RAISED A
RECORD-SETTING $1.7 MILLION FOR
LOCAL YOUTH GROUPS IN D.C.
IT HELPS A LOT OF THESE YOUNG
KIDS AND WE GET TO MEET A LOT
OF KIDS AND GROUPS IT HELPS.
TO SEE 20,000 PEOPLE IN THE
STANDS CHEERING.
IT WAS RIGHT DOWN THE MIDDLE
CHEERING FOR THE REPUBLICANS,
DEMOCRATS ARE CHEERING, TOO.
IT IS A GOOD CAUSE AND A LOT OF
FUN AS WE’RE IN THE MIDDLE OF
SOME PRETTY HEADY TOPICS UP
HERE IN WASHINGTON
>> Sandra: FINAL QUESTION.
A LITTLE DIFFERENT OUTSIDE OF
THE GAME THERE.
THERE WERE CLIMATE ACTIVISTS
TRYING TO SHUT DOWN THE
BASEBALL GAME.
THERE WAS MORE PROTESTS
APPARENTLY INSIDE.
THIS WAS A CLIMATE ACTIVIST TO
FOX DIGITAL.
>> HAVING FUN, ACTUALLY HANGING
OUT WITH SOME OF THE RICH
POLLUTERS AT THIS FUNDRAISER
GAME.
>> Sandra: THEY SHOULD NOT BE
OUT HAVING FUN HANGING OUT WITH
SOME OF THE RICH POLLUTERS AT
THIS FUNDRAISER GAME.
WHAT WAS YOUR RESPONSE?
>> MAYBE THAT’S SOME OF THE
PEOPLE THEY HANG AROUND WITH.
I WONDER IF THEY ALL WALKED TO
THE GAME OR IF THEY DROVE CARS
AND USED FOSSIL FUELS THAT THEY
DECRY AS THEY ARE LIVING THEIR
LIFE TRYING TO RUIN IT FOR
OTHER PEOPLE.
LIKE I SAID, THEY WANTED TO
SHUT DOWN A GAME THAT RAISED
1.7 MILLION DOLLARS FOR LOCAL
YOUTH IN D.C.
MAYBE THEY SHOULD SPEND MORE OF
THEIR TIME HELPING OUT SOME OF
THOSE SAME KIDS WHO ARE IN NEED.
SOME OF THESE YOUNG PEOPLE WHO
MAYBE WANT BETTER OPTIONS SO
THEY CAN LIVE A BETTER FUTURE
AND THEY MIGHT FEEL BETTER
ABOUT THEMSELVES, TOO.
>> Sandra: YOU WERE OUT THERE
REPRESENTING THE U.S. CONGRESS
AND THE GREAT STATE OF
LOUISIANA BUT REPRESENTED LSU
TIGERS.
A BIG GEAUX TO YOU.
