Bombard These Senators, Ask Them Why They're Betraying Voters
"Over some of the names here, you've got blunt Boseman, capito Collins, corn and cotton, so by the way, senator Tom cotton, can I tell you what this guy right here, he says he's a conservative. He's not, he's a rhino. You can't trust him. The man is not trustworthy. And it's really sad to say that about a fellow Republican, but this guy is not trustworthy. You've got senator grassley, Lindsey Graham, another one. You've got all you folks in Mississippi, both your senators. Voted for this nonsense. Hyde Smith and wicker, Mitch McConnell, Jerry Moran, Lisa Murkowski, rob Portman Mitt Romney. Senator rounds, Rubio, Shelby, thune, even topper film. Well, you can't trust tuberville. You know, he used to go down it while I don't want to get into the SEC. It's a situation, but you never came really trust those guys. So these people, you need to be bombarding them. I don't even care. You may not even live in Alabama. It doesn't matter. You call them. And we need to be demanding answers here. We need to be demanding to know why they betrayed the voters. And we also have to hope and pray that at the end of the day, somebody is going to come to their senses and the Democrats are not going to get the ten Republican votes they need in the Senate to pass this. Are you angry ladies and gentlemen? Are you frustrated? Are you disappointed?

Steve Deace Dives Into the Fiasco That Is the Mid-Term Elections
"Welcome back guys promised our friend Steve dais that's DEA CE. He's with blaze TV radio, Steve welcome. Oh, it's good to be back with the Eric, how are you, man? Well, I'm blessed. I know I'm blessed, but we're going through a tough time as a nation. I was, I've been saying that for me, the big issue is what the Democrats have done to our election system. There is fraud. There is stealing. And I don't see any establishment Republicans even mentioning it. And I think to myself, if you don't have confidence that our elections are being run fairly and that it takes weeks and whatever it count, I don't know how you even have a country anymore. So that to me seems to be the number one issue. And I think a lot of Americans just think, well, what happened? Why is it taking so long to do this? So I don't know if you want to talk about that. Sure, we can get into that. And you know, I'm a big sports guy. So I like to make sports analogies. All right, so imagine you were a football coach and there were 12 instant replay reviews in a game. And all 12 went against you. I mean, statistically, the odds of that would just be astronomical. They would be beyond overwhelming, okay? That you would lose all 12. And what you're watching here on a statewide basis. Is in the last two cycles whenever there have been these late counts that go on and on and on and on. Democrats win them every single time. Now, as Christians, we have an obligation to not bear false witness. We are commanded where that is concerned. So vote splitting does happen, for example, in my home state of Iowa are very popular governor who has quietly been a Ron DeSantis against COVID just doesn't have the bombast or the fanfare. She weigh outperform Charles grassley that people are sick of, okay? So vote vote splitting does occur.

A Look at Gubernatorial Polls With Charlie Pierce
"Speaking of electorally, there's a glitter of hope you retweeted that chuck grassley's and it's statistical tie. Someone tweeted, I was gonna go blue, blue tsunami incoming and you just said, hello. Yeah, I mean, yeah, this is a race that nobody's noticed. Right. Right. And you know, I wonder, the guy who's running against, by the way, his name, Mike Franken. Yeah. And I'm wondering how many people in Iowa think they're voting for Al Franken. That's fine. You know, seriously. And it's life and death for old chuck and he's not, you know, he's built for comforting and built for speed. He's not built for the home stretch right now. Yeah. So who knows? I mean, I mean, I think you're going to, I think what you are going to see is a lot of split ticket voters. Yeah. Yeah. For example, I think in Iowa, Kim Reynolds is probably going to get reelected governor. But grassley could lose. Yeah. Whitmer's going to win. You know, I think the democratic gubernatorial candidates are in great shape. Do you? I hope so. Tony Evers in Wisconsin, I'm sending novena upwards for, but I think a lot of them, I think a lot of them are going to survive more Healy's going to win, you know, from here or there in Massachusetts, not the typical of anything. Right. Right. But you know, I guess it is astounding that statistical speaking of statistical ties, Herschel Walker. Has gone up despite all these allegations. I don't believe any of the polling out of Georgia. I really don't. Nobody's been able to predict Georgia correctly for about ten years now. Yeah. I think that there's a whopping big vote down there who doesn't want to be represented in Congress by, you know, inarticulate doof.

Because what this does is it inspires the stupidity in the minds of other young people that are watching because somehow they think the big boogie bad Russia has just confiscated this Bigfoot woman and got her incarcerated for no reason. They just made it up. And young people don't realize that there's consequences for your actions. How about they tell them what Britney did. So they don't go do the same thing.

"Let me give a special shout out I should have said this at the beginning of my show, special shout out to my father, Bobby J Tatum, junior for being selected hired in an impressive victory to becoming the first black bar chief of killer Texas. Why do I say the first black, right? Me, nor my father care about that. But I'm going to tell you why I say that. Because my father has been a tremendous influence. My father is a tremendous leader and he just killing the game. Going from the projects to retiring twice is chief of the fire department. Working his way up since he was like 18 to 19, he was a firefighter, our whole life. He still is a firefight. He's retired for like two years. And he came back. My father's a tremendous example and a great leader. And he did the work. He went and got his degree. I'm talking about he had a high school diploma. That's all he had when he joined the fire department. He went and got his bachelor's, went back and got his masters from Grand Canyon university. My dad had got all the training. He is leaps and bounds about every single chief in the whole United States of America. There's not one more qualified chief on the books and in practice is my father. That's why when he show up to interview, he dominate. That's why he went to kill her because he said, you know what? I don't want to sit on the couch no more. I want to go work again. He went to the interview and he was leaps and bounds above every single other candidate. And they hired him. Not because he's black, not because of a friend of action, because he's the doggone best. That's what it is.

Maybe your baby daddy, but what would y'all worry out at when he was alive? How many of y'all was checking on him? According to Candace documentary, his roommates said, since the father, 8 years of some he was living in the house, they haven't seen a single-family member.

Kanye West Claims George Floyd Died of Fentanyl Overdose
"George Floyd's family is now suing Kanye West for $250 million over. They say flagrant remarks about his death. Now, I didn't hear all of Kanye's remarks, just like I don't hear all of his anti semitic remarks that people are saying are inside semitic. I haven't heard them. Listen to them. But I haven't heard all of his comments on George Floyd. But I heard a clip of it, and he said that George Floyd actually died from fentanyl. How is debt defamatory? His opinion aligns with the defense. Of Chauvin. You know, the defense team argued, they brought in experts that argued that George Floyd died from a fentanyl overdose. Just because the jury cited with George Floyd side, don't mean that the defense wasn't, didn't have accuracy and facts in it. How can you give a fact pattern consistent with the defense team and somehow you get defamatory defamatory lawsuit?

Is Kanye West Anti-Semitic?
"I want to first of all talk about this Kanye West thing. You know, it's very, it's very weird to me, right? Because I don't know if people are aware it is, I'm sure most of you guys are, I'm new to politics, so I'm not aware of none of this stuff. There's this floating sentiment of people who have certain opinions about Jews like a conspiracy that believes that Jews are running the world and they're doing all this stuff. So I'm starting to find out that there's people that have this sentiment. They hold this idea that these things are true. Now I'm not here to say if they write around, I have no idea. I don't follow none of this stuff. But what I'm saying is that I'm finding out that there's sectors. There's not sectors. It was the word I'm looking for. Factions. There's factions that believe this and don't, and I feel like Kanye West is in the faction that believes that there is somewhat of a conspiracy of Jews against him. Now, this is where I'm just, I don't understand. I need your help listeners. I need you guys to help me understand this. I don't understand why people are jumping so quick to say that Kanye is anti semitic. I don't understand it. And I'm asking for your help to understand. I think that the things that he say a person could argue their own and maybe you disagree with him, I mean, he's saying that certain Jewish people that he know are collaborating against each together to do something against him. But he's also saying that he don't have a problem with all Jews. Just these Jews. And I'm not saying what he's saying is right or wrong. You know, I don't have a dog in the fight. But what I'm saying is that people are starting to throw this anti semitic word around, just like they're doing these other words. Like homophobic and transphobic and xenophobic and what is the one, if you're a misogynist, you're a misogynistic. People just throw these words around and I don't understand. I really don't.

Jimmy Gagliano: Understanding Disparate Treatment Under the Law
"Or she is the ultimate authority in those kind of things. What are the brick agents saying? Well, Jeff, we know that if your folks have that are listening here, have been following the news and this isn't astute audience, so I know they are. We know that there are whistleblowers that have come to senator grassley and they've come to senator Johnson and they come to congressman Jordan and they have basically pushed back on this notion that this is being done above board. Look, I'm not here to defend the former president, the 44th 45th president president, former president Trump. He's got a bevy of lawyers that can do that on their own and these eminently qualified to do that. What I'm suggesting and what I think a number of former FBI agents retired FBI agents and I think the number if I heard correctly last night on Fox News is about 20 on board FBI agents who are acting as whistleblowers, what our concern is disparate treatment under the law, meaning that the law is not being applied evenly, we can allow the former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton to bleach bit 33,000 emails. She is the governing authority to decide what needs to be reviewed by investigators when those emails were under subpoena and what gets turned over and what doesn't, no one kicked in her door in chappaqua, New York, and the way that they're treating this former president in Mar-a-Lago where we know that since back in January of February, the NAR 8, the national archives and records administration was in active conversation and negotiations with the president, former presidents, lawyers, to turn over items that they felt that he should not be in possession of.

Jim Jordan Calls for an Investigation Into the Inspector General
"Correct. We've got more than that and you were right when sender grassley said there's political influence at the FBI and it's all about politics. That is certainly the case because all these whistleblowers come to us and talk about the political pressure they're under. And now we see that it may be in the inspector general's office. By statute, the inspector general is supposed to provide independent oversight of the Justice Department. Well, how can you do that if you're participating in an investigation? Sean, understand what happened here. The FBI came to the inspector general and said, we're going to, we're going to take the phone of a sitting member of Congress. We're going to take his phone one day after we have raided president Trump's home and we're going to do it while the congressman Perry is on vacation with his family. The inspector general should have said to them, are you freaking out of your mind? This has got all kinds of constitutional concerns. You should not do it, but if you do, we will not participate. But instead, he said, go ahead and do it and we'll image the phone. That is frightening because they're supposed to be providing the independent oversight of the Justice Department. So yeah, there's politics at the DoJ. There's certainly politics at the FBI as evidenced by all the whistleblowers almost 20 that have come to the three respective offices, but now we have to have concerns about the inspector general as well. And of course that was congressman Jim Jordan last night on Hannity and he is calling for an investigation now of the inspector general's office after the FBI confiscated congressman Perry's cell phone.

Sen. Lindsey Graham Predicts Riots if Trump Is Prosecuted
"They knew the FBI knew the political firestorm this would create. Now you got Lindsey Graham. And that's another category where Mark ever the cautious friend of mine Mark, oh, I don't know that it's the greatest thing for Lindsey Graham to have said that. I don't know that it was great that he went on TV and said there'd be riots in the streets. Here's what senator Graham from South Carolina actually said so that I can get your reaction to it. Most Republicans, including me, believes when it comes to Trump, there is no law. It's all about getting him. There's those double standard when it comes to Trump. What happened with Hunter Biden is that the FBI weighed in to make sure story didn't break for the 2020 election. We now have whistleblowers at the FBI till in senator grassley that they were told to slow down and back off Hunter Biden. And I'll say this. If there's a prosecution of Donald Trump for mishandling classified information, after the Clinton debacle, which you presided over and did a hell of a good job, there'll be riots in the streets. Oh, you can't say that, Lindsay. You're threatening violence. And of course, that's exactly what the left now is saying that Lindsey Graham is threatening violence in the streets if Trump gets indicted.

Cliff Schecter on How Democrats Are Finally Learning to Punch Back
"Talking about, you know, I think that's getting more and more popular sort of, you know, we were just played some Eric swalwell. Alpha liberal, like, you know, I think many of us are learning how to punch back, right? Biden's ratings are up. There are Democrats that are really out there, I think, vocalizing everything that Biden and the Democrats are getting done. And Republicans offer nothing. Well, I mean, when I came on here in the past, we would have a group misery party about like, why can't Democrats do this? Why can't you always comment when there's negative things about them and jump in instead of instead of offering no comment, like they've raided Mar-a-Lago, go comment. But we've gotten so much better at talking about what Biden's doing. We've gotten so much better. And they have. I mean, to me, I mean, and I hope it ends up being a seminal moment in this campaign when their White House do you know that the president tweeted out all the tweeted out the PPP loans that each of these SOBs, these complete hypocritical liars who didn't tell these students who just want to take money and have no accountability and then you find out that, you know, chuck grassley sitting there on his forearm a 112 years old. And he's sitting there just collecting government money. He never pays back. None of these guys ever, but it's okay. They're white. So they don't have to. And I mean, the fact that they went to The White House account that they did that, the fact that Biden, people were like, why do you say semi fascists? And I was like, guys, keep your eye on the ball. He used the word fascist in there. That's the word people are going to remember. It was uncomfortable for him to even get to that place. We're getting there.

We're going to have some McCarthy, more than likely in leadership. We're also going to have people that probably are more on that train of defund the FBI and break this thing open and what do we do with it? So where do you come between how do you work with people like that? Where do you actually go so that we can make money as a movement and as a country to get past this kind of stuff? Yeah, look, I mean, even the people who are like, do you fuck the FBI? And then you ask them, wait, really? Like, just abolish the whole thing. They're like, no, why don't you want to hold it accountable down? Like, I do want to hold it accountable, but you just said the fun the FBI. And so you start talking past each other. And in the end, you're like, wait, do we disagree? Or do we actually agree? Because we're all on the same page here, but on the right, what tends to happen is these manufactured divisions and these manufactured fights. And I think that's really silly. We need to get on the same page here. There's going to be some heavy oversight. Jim Jordan will likely be the chairman of judiciary, which has direct oversight over the DoJ and FBI. So we're going to fight this battle. And then you have to actually have some hard questions. Okay, so what legislatively needs to be done and pass through that committee. So that proper oversight occurs. And there's probably a lot of options for that. Can I get them out the next minute while we're here? No. And they need to be lifted. To conduct hearings, you need to ask those questions. You need to hear from whistleblowers in these institutions that are willing to come forward and say, look, this is what we've seen from our leadership is wrong and biased. And in fact, grassley senator grassley has done this report and indeed did find bias. And explain to us that to the FBI director, that's going to happen times a hundred on steroids when the house is retaken by Republicans. In November. I think that's what you can expect.

"grassley" Discussed on CNBC's Fast Money
"But to Starbucks spokesperson issuing fast money of statements saying we do not have any details to share on our fall menu. Starbucks shares have been on a winning streaks recently. The stock up 8 straight weeks. It's longest run since early 2019. Grassley, you strike me as a mocha kind of guy, but this really goes to the point that at what point do consumers start pushing back on price increases. Yeah, I think that the consumer that goes to Starbucks and buys coffee is not the one that really cares. That sounds like it's a pretty decent price hike, but most people are paying with Apple Pay and have no clue and I'm not joking when I say this. They have no clue what they're actually paying for anything. If they have discretionary money and they're walking into a Starbucks, I don't think they're going to care. If it's a regular coffee, I think that people care, but when you have something that's a little kitschy and going into the holidays, I think people will be spending that money there. More importantly, with Starbucks, it's running into resistance here at the 200 day moving average, which is a little over $91. I'd be more concerned with that than the 80 cents price increase on the new coffee that they're offering. You obviously have not heard Tim Seymour in his rant because he buys regular coffee at Starbucks and has for more for decades at this point. And it's complaining that he was what you just said. But he doesn't want to. Because he said though, he fought it for decades. And he bought it for decades. And he's still buying it. According at some point, the consumer will push back. Maybe we're not there yet. I think that's a question of when, because I think so far, Starbucks is actually done a good job of increasing their prices and the consumer has been willing to do that. And really, they have their rewards program. And anybody who's in their rewards program tends to spend two to three times as much at Starbucks as somebody who's not in there, which I think just shows how loyal the customer base they have. So no, I'm not a pumpkin spice latte person. I'm not going to pay the extra 80 cents for it. But it seems like a lot of their customers might so I don't necessarily see that as a problem for Starbucks. I'm not paying a dime for pumpkin spice latte. Time for the final trade. Let's go

The FBI Has Become the Mafia With Kash Patel
"This is not a novel challenge or issue. Nixon, there was a debate for years, for years, between the U.S. government, the national archives, and the Nixon estate as to which documents were personal and pertain to him and were to be kept by him and which has to be surrendered back to the archives. The way that was settled cash was years and years of litigation and discussions, never be correct me if I'm wrong. Never before in history was this question resolved by a raid by 30 FBI agents in plainclothes. Yeah, that's not how law enforcement works. And you know that's how politics works. It's when you have an attorney general who essentially is a beholden to the radical left agenda. And when you have a director and Chris wray at the FBI, who is beholden to nothing but his own ego, and fails to understand the simplest constitutional oversight requirements like you saw when he appeared before senator grassley last week to demand questions about whistleblower protection and also comment on the Russia hoax and he failed to do all of it. He failed to he didn't even know that some of his top lieutenants at the FBI were the same corrupt FBI agents who broke the law in the Whitman prosecution, which resulted in acquittals in the russiagate scam in the Hunter Biden hypocrisy, which was falsely labeled Russian disinformation. He had no idea to be reminded of that. And then he wanted to fly away on his private jet to his adirondack vacation home instead of answer questions before the United States Senate.

"Senator chuck grassley of Iowa has been writing letters to Merrick Garland and to the FBI director Christopher wray and these letters normally I'm not big on letter writing because I'm like a letter is nothing more than a kind of piece of paper that very often these guys are going to just toss into the trash can, big deal and sometimes our side has a tendency to think that if you write a letter, you've somehow done something. No, you haven't done anything. But in this case, we have grassley, who is an influential figure on the, in the Senate judiciary. And so it's the committee that has oversight over the FBI. And writing on judiciary committee letter had grassley makes two points. And both the points have been derived from FBI whistleblowers. These are FBI agents who have come forward and have apparently revealed two interesting things. The first one is that the FBI has been very involved in suppressing, suppressing investigations connected with Hunter Biden and the Biden crime family. So this is very telling that the FBI has been deliberately ignoring evidence and they have been using the fig leaf. In fact, they've been using the pretense that they know to be untrue. That this is Russia and disinformation.

"I asked the FBI, where your laptop was, and it seems they've misplaced it. How weird? But it just turns out that I have a copy right here. I entered it in the congressional record. We have your texts. We have your emails. We have the payments from burisma. We have your travel records. We even know the Chinese communists who own you. You and the big guy have never lived one day under real Republican oversight. I put that in there and I left that last line in for a reason. That's what leads me to that second possible explanation. That maybe just for a second, given the unlikely possibility we have some good actors in the DoJ, there's a small possibility they're waiting to left to the election so they have some political cover when they'll be Republican oversight rather than Democrat oversight. Just the thought. This is another great article, it's just the news dot com on Geno report as well and in my newsletter. Chuck grassley, who has spent a lifetime calling out political BS in the FBI and elsewhere. He's a U.S. senator, of course. He said, corrupted to the very core whistleblower say DoJ and FBI are showing political bias and investigations. Graz Lee's had none of this. He's having none of this anymore. He has been all, I remember when I was a Secret Service agent, they would say all the time about grassley. Don't mess around in front of graslie. Love him or hate him. It's not my job. I'm not endorsing anybody or anything. I'm just telling you the facts. He has been all over corruption and bias in federal law enforcement for a long time. And he is very, very concerned about what's going on here. Folks, this is the big reason I support president Trump and I'm hoping he runs again. He will not have the pressure of reelection. He can do the right thing. He doesn't have to do the easy thing. Political pressures everywhere that's not pretend everybody hears above it. But the political pressure will be severely reduced. He doesn't have to worry about winning anything again. It is a generational opportunity for us because the right thing to fix this broken government get rid of the people who have hijacked it for political purposes rather than the purposes of advancing public service. All right, I've got a lot more to get to. I want to switch gears. Folks, I'm fascinated and always have been by information warfare. I studied psychology in college for a reason. I wasn't because I was lazy or didn't want to do anything else because I was fascinated by it. I used to read those books about the FBI mindhunters, their behavioral analysis teams. I've always been fascinated about why this mass of neurons and gray matter can produce insane, crazy things like, I mean, insane in a bad way. I mean, insane, like hard to comprehend, art and these beautiful thoughts, how one person can put together a theory of relativity. And yet another person has struggles to do basic math. It always fascinated me. So information warfare fascinates me too. How you can I used to have a segment I was considering when I had my old show back at a different network. It was called red news blue news. I love the idea of the segment. Maybe I'll do it on my Fox show. Red news blue news. The idea this segment was how you can take the same fact set. Facts. Three plus three equals 6. And how the red news and the blue news interprets those two facts differently, which leads to a totally different outcome. Which is strange, because three plus three still equals X you see this here.

Using information from a quote left aligned organization, unquote, and that he whitewashed the sources biases to coax approval for an investigation from FBI director Christopher wray and attorney general Merrick Garland. And the whistleblowers further allege that the bolt worked to falsely discredit legitimate evidence against Hunter Biden, president Joe Biden's son related to his finances and business deals abroad. Grassley wrote last week to ray and Garland to address the allegations against the bolt, making bold pronouncement as to the state of American justice system. Should they prove true? He said, if these allegations are true and accurate, the Justice Department and FDR are in have been institutionally corrupted to their very core to the point in which the United States Congress and the American people. Well, no confidence in the equal application of the law. Grassley and late May road to ray, Garland and inspector general Michael Horowitz to call their attention to politically charged social media posts, Theo bolt made at the expense of Republicans. I mean, you know, folks. This is just unbelievable anymore. How corrupt, how damn corrupted it is at the FBI. I'm sorry. It's unbelievable anymore. So what's going to happen? Well, as long as the Democrats control both houses of Congress, absolutely nothing. And the reason this phony U.S. attorney in Washington, this guy graves, is now moving so fast as he wants to act before the midterm elections for two reasons. One to try and affect the outcome of that election. To try and put a damper on Republican turnout to try and change the subject from Biden and the Democrats in Congress and the disasters they've created. Into headline after headline after headline about Trump. And number two, oversight. He's concerned about Republican oversight. So now he's in a Harry. The committees in a Harry. To avoid the, the input from the American people, if they want to stand for this, which they don't.

Marketplace Tech with Molly Wood
"grassley" Discussed on Marketplace Tech with Molly Wood
"All this week, we're talking about what regulation of the tech industry could look like. One area lawmakers are examining is how companies manage online content, including whether section two 30, which shields platforms from liability for what users post needs another look. Republican senator chuck grassley of Iowa has been outspoken on this issue, we sat down for an interview with the U.S. capitol, just before a warning came through a speaker, calling senators to the chamber for a vote. Grassley says his constituents often complain to him about censorship on social media platforms. And I asked him what Congress should do about it? Before I answer your question, I think it'd be, I'd like to give you the observation that I think that there happens to be a bipartisan agreement that hold on quote something needs to be done, but there's also a bipartisan opposition that things aren't this bad. We shouldn't do it, and we might screw things up. So if your question to me is, what can Congress do, there's a lot of things we can do if there's a will to do it, but right now, I see things pretty evenly divided. You are one of the few people still working in the Senate who actually signed the original piece of tech legislation more than 25 years ago, the communications decency act, which included that infamous section two 30. How do you think that lost a hold up today? The purpose has served a very good purpose. And that purpose is new new ideas in 1996. And new instruments of communication and that they needed some protection because we thought they were so good. And we're talking about before the words Google, Facebook, Twitter, wherever known. Those weren't words then. To help him get started. Now that they have become to the monopolistic point of view and control that they have and influence they have, it seems to me it's time to either do away with two 30 or to modify. How would you like to see it modified? I think I'd rather see it done away with. Why do you think it just needs to be completely done away with? The reason it was put in place in the first place to protect new instruments getting started is not applicable to these big platforms that we have now. Now somebody would say to you, well, we've got some little startups that need that protection. So then I said, I'd rather do away with it than modify it, but one of the ways of modifying it would be to make exceptions for smaller organizations. If we completely do away with section two 30 and tech companies do have to be liable for what people say on their platform. Wouldn't that just increase censorship by these tech companies? We've been warned of that, but I know how bad censorship is now. And I don't want to make it worse. How removing two 30 make it better? Or would it? Well, from the standpoint of censorship, these people, the various groups that are involved, there's actually a feeling that they serve a public utility purpose. And they all be regulated that way. I don't particularly take that point of view, but that's one answer to your question. What view do you take? What do I think? Yeah. I think it's going to lead to some compromise rather than repeal. Okay. I'd like to talk about another one of your bills that you filed this summer, the team act, tougher enforcement against monopolies, which would remove all the antitrust enforcement to the Department of Justice away from the FTC and FCC. Why do you think it's necessary to move that enforcement? I have seen, although it hasn't been a big problem, but too often, DOJ negotiating with FTC, what should we do and what you should do or sometimes not being able to settle it? And then actually both taking action or maybe nobody taking action. I think that sort of competition among government agencies is not legitimate and it's waste a taxpayer's money. So that's the reason why you would give DOJ more of the antitrust provisions. Would that come with more funding for the Department of Justice? The Department of Justice, but don't forget there's another Klobuchar grassley bill that has passed a Senate. Merger fee. And it's in the house that gives a more fundy by charging some mergers that are big more and then reducing the costs for mergers that are smaller companies. You're talking about your reputation earlier. You're also have quite a reputation for being an active user of social media. Congratulations on your new great granddaughter, by the way. Oh, you keep track. You're very up to date. Did you get the second one? Today we announced one today. Yes, I know. I saw the photo. It was very cute. I think that's a 15th one. Oh my gosh. You know, you are a very active user of social media, which kind of turned some of these ages stereotypes about who and how people use social media. On its head, what do you think it means to have somebody like you in front of pushing for tech regulation? Well, I hope I give credibility to it. Because I use it, I think, oh, I give credibility to the arguments where I think it's abused. I think hope I give credibility to the arguments why it's very useful. Because for me, as a political leader, it gives me an opportunity to put issues out there that maybe wouldn't otherwise get discussed as much because I think my job isn't just to listen to people. My constituents, my job is also to maybe promote discussions of issues and in a democracy you can't have too much promotion of issues, and that's kind of what I use Twitter for.

I'm glad you know pete. Wilson's eighty eight. We are honoring and last night on the thirtieth anniversary of his first year. As governor of california. Those two eighty eight year olds. Put us to shame. Jim talent they do. And i'm gonna tell you they're they're like chuck is is what we lawyers call. And you know this. Better than i do sue generis. Yes so i mean he is every time i see chuck. It's like the same chuck grassley i. I met twenty seven years ago when i got elected to the house. i saw in and And then i served with fifteen years ago. The guy's incredible he doesn't incredible job For iowa and more power to them. And i wouldn't say that normally i mean normally i would quietly. Somebody asked me say you know you'd be thinking he's unbelievable that there's always an exception the rule my role is you shouldn't be in the senate after your seventy two. The john kyle rule chuck grassley the exception because he is one of. I love the history channel rants on twitter right. I love that stuff. But he also takes care of iowa and when he We're gonna be talking about this when he decides to run at ninety four as well. By the way he'll make his eighty eight county drive.

"grassley" Discussed on POLITICO's Nerdcast
"Brand of politics has really flourished in recent years. And that's why we see. So many of these amendments popping up and and democrats haven't taken major action on immigration at all and they have the majority so you know there's a there's a lot to exploit their so one other dynamic. I noticed that i thought was interesting. In sort of tests debating skills of each side. Is you know. Sometimes you'd have this Republican senator put forward amendments. That they thought was a very clever. And they'd have this aha moment and the democrats would come right back with Something on a related subject that would Essentially say off. You're calling us hypocrites on issue x. Well try voting on this We're gonna suppose your your hypocrisy on that issue. The one example that i thought it was pretty fascinating was with senator grassley and senator wyden had a a sort of tit for tat. Hypocrisy volley hear me. You'll be shark. What the democrats want to do in their budget grassley got up there and said well. Democrats don't really care about taxing the wealthy because they want to include this State and local tax relief in their budget if my democrat colleagues are genuine in their concern about the wealthy paying too little taxes. Their budget is not the way to do it. And he puts forward this amendment trying to get rid of that vote to support by amendment to impose restrictions on repealing and modifying the salt cap that would result in tax cuts for the wealthy. He does have a point. Salt relief does benefit wealthier taxpayers. Senator from oregon president and colleagues are tax. Bill will be progressive. And then widen came back with an amendment and said you guys really talking about the progressive tax code. Okay if you really believe that. Here's an amendment endorsing progressivity in the in the tax code and of course all the republicans voted against that. Those another similar volley. On defunding the police between senator tub villa local leaders across the country have decided the woke thing to do is cancel their cities police force when senator klobuchar before i came to the senate i saw firsthand the vital role that enforcement officers playing keeping our citizens. Say what's going on in those moments and how How much are they sort of telegraphed in advance or is this just like good smart work on the senate floor in in real time. So they're all pretty good at thinking on their feet and also many of the senators say the same thing over and over so so some of these sound bites are pretty baked into their brains and yeah a lot. It's an unscripted battle in in many cases so obviously if you have to side-by-side amendments you have one that's proposed and you kind of have a counter amendment. You probably thought that through you may be came up with your counter amendment on taxes. Because you the senator kind of anticipated that republicans were going to go down this line of attack. But you know we talked to. Ron wyden all the time. He's the chairman of the finance committee and He is incredibly quick on his toes. An incredibly quick to accused republicans of being hypocrites so on on all kinds of things so that the most recent has been what's going on with the debt limit and he likes to remind everybody that democrats voted with republicans to remedy the debt limit when it was their congress and they were in control and they're in control the white house and that republicans should now vote with with democrats on that. So so yeah. I mean they've got these. You're a hypocrite lines.
