Issues and disagreements can only be resolved through effective communication. Therefore, if I have unintentionally offended you in any way, I would appreciate it if you could express your feelings directly. It's possible that I may not be aware of the impact of my actions, as I'm not able to read minds. If you are concerned about a negative reaction, feel free to discuss the matter with someone you trust, who can convey your thoughts to me without causing conflict. Open and honest communication is key to understanding and resolving any potential issues.

Look at the border. Do you know we’ve had 3.8 million illegal immigrants cross that border, 800,000 more got-aways, 4.5 million people broke the law and came here illegally? and Biden and Warnock helped them do it. Now, I am the daughter of Indian immigrants. They came here legally, they put in the time, they put in the price, they are offended by what’s happening on that border. Legal immigrants are more patriotic than the leftists these days. They knew they worked to come into America, and they love America. They want the laws followed in America, so the only person we need to make sure we deport is Warnock.

My understanding right now, from multiple clubs, is that the Nationals are asking for four to five top young players — a combination of prospects and major leaguers with low service time, now, that’s a monstrous ask, but that’s Juan Soto. He’s 23 years old, you’re getting him for three pennant races. Teams are not offended by what the Nationals want, but they’re worried that they can’t meet that price. At this point, from what I’m being told, it’s not really a negotiation. The Nationals are saying, ‘Either you express a willingness to meet our price or we just go the next club.'.

I don't feel like it's right that people can tell other people what they can and cannot say, if people don't want to support him … if people are offended by some of his transgender jokes, they don't have to support him. They don't have to watch the Netflix special. They don't have to buy tickets to their show.

I know that some inarticulate things I said earlier this week have offended people. The message conveyed through media sound bites is not at all what I meant, complete answers based on data aimed at solutions to gun violence will be edited down to sound bites. It’s my job to make sure even those sound bites are careful. As someone whose strong support is owed in part to the fact that I don’t communicate or make decisions like a career politician, it is my obligation to do better.

If the word only made you think of rational, deserved causes like teaching a less whitewashed version of American history, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez would still want to own it. But it's a joke because it makes you think of people who wake up offended and take orders from Twitter. And their oversensitivity has grown tiresome.

During the course of taping our show, I made some jokes mocking some lines in the script. When Eliza Dushku told me that she wasn't comfortable with my language and attempt at humor, I was mortified to have offended her and immediately apologized, after reflecting on this further, I better understand that what I said was both not funny and not appropriate and I am sorry and regret the pain this caused Eliza Dushku.

I’m not surprised those ideas exist. ... I guess I was a little bit surprised by that comfort level, sending an email like that to somebody. I would assume you’re pretty assured that they’re not going to be offended by it or surprised by it or have them say anything to you about the nature of those emails, but I think it’s good for the league to have that come out, and guys be held accountable for the things that they say, even in private.
