"That. So there's that flexibility there. Of course, we just transition to renewables, renewables don't have that. You can not produce more power from a wind farm than instead of rated capacity. So that becomes a problem. And also, it takes a while to develop those new wind farms to take several years to plug them into build transmission lines. However, beyond this winter, we really start to see the picture changing a lot Europe is locking down the supplies of alternative energy if it doesn't need Russia. So if we have another mild winter that Europe is able to make it through this year, then the sort of threat of that weapon really goes down substantially. So when you talk about renewables, we know that there are certain environmental problems with some of them still, right? So things like battery power and nuclear power are they un categorically better for the environment? The big problem we're facing at the moment is that there is a fixed amount of carbon dioxide that we're able to pump into the atmosphere and each year we pump about 36 37 billion tons of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere and we're heading for geological limits about how much of that we can take before the atmosphere itself starts warming. And that's a battle that we have to fight over the next 30 years. So certainly you can certainly point to things you can point to with us there's a lot of there will be a lot of end of life waste from solar panels 30 years from now when we have to reconfigure them. But none of those really compared to the global scale of the challenge that we face with climate change at the moment. So I think they're clearly superior, yes. And also thinking about things like cobalt, mining, and so on. I mean, I think that's an interesting thing, but I think if you look at the scale of different commodities, one thing to bear in mind is that an unusual thing about fuel is that we use it every single year. Every time you feel a car you need more oil to fuel that car every time of coal, you need to burn more coal. Whereas something like cobalt is used once, the volumes of global cobalt production are in the hundreds of thousands of times whereas the volumes of fossil fuel productions are in the tens of billions of tons. So in terms of the effect on the planet, there's pretty awful labor conditions and things like cobalt mining, but I don't think any of us are aiming for a sort of world of perfection where the resources that we're using produce no problems anywhere in the world. I think we have a sort of global challenge that we have to face about keeping this planet where we can live in the sort of conditions that we've been used to living. Bloomberg opinions David fickling. Next. A lot of things work at decided this time. And it won't be one of the most interesting national People's Congress in recent years. Julie wren on the China Communist Party's national People's Congress kicking off Sunday. This is Bloomberg opinion. Mister favorite Bloomberg radio show, Bloomberg businessweek, masters in business, Bloomberg intelligence, and more are also available as podcasts. Listen today on Apple Spotify and anywhere else you get your podcasts. This is a Bloomberg money minute, it's the end of an era. Boeing will stop making the FA 18 Super Hornet fighter jet the one Tom Cruise flew in last year's blockbuster movie Top Gun: Maverick. Good morning, aviators. This is your captain speaking. So why is Boeing pulling the plug? Bloomberg's Julie Johnson who covers the aerospace industry. The plane's been around in service for more than 40 years, sales have dwindled and it just sort of run its course. But Johnson says the Super Hornet is not going away quietly. It was battle tested by Tom Cruise and movie audiences loved it. And the blue angels have just started flying super hornets in the last couple of years. So if you see an aerial display by that navy squad this summer, they will be watching super hornets do their thing. Tom busby Bloomberg radio. And I'm Susanna Palmer in the Bloomberg newsroom. Former Republican governor Larry Hogan of Maryland a fierce critic of Donald Trump said today he will not run for The White House in 2024. This after long positioning himself as a possible alternative to the former president. Hogan wrote in The New York Times that while he appreciated all those who said that they will hope he will run, he didn't want to put his family through another grueling campaign just for the experience. I did give it serious consideration and I talked to people everywhere and I talked to my family and it was a tough decision, but I've decided that I will not be a candidate for the Republican nomination for president. There he is speaking on CBS's face the nation today. Hogan wrapped up his second term as Maryland's governor in January, he had served 8 years. Can stocks keep up the momentum from last week, the S&P 500 jumped 1.6% last week and marked its first winning week in the last four. But the consumer may be losing steams as Lindsey piegza, chief economist at Stifel Nicholas. We did see that pop and consumer activity at the start of the year, but at the same time we saw consumer confidence ticked down at the start of the year. So it doesn't appear as if the consumer is increasingly confident in their financial footing, it appears more as if we're seeing the consumers less stand, if you will, as households are drawn down the very last of savings, they're ramping

"Victory over COVID citing declining death toll, U.S. president Joe Biden seeking to cool off tensions with China saying he intends to talk with China's president Xi Jinping. He says, latest three balloon shot down appears civilian. Now China has announced trade and investment sanctions on Lockheed Martin and Raytheon for selling weapons to Taiwan. So a different issue but all mixed together were joined by Bloomberg aerospace reporter Julie Johnson Julie thanks so much for taking time. This has a very strange dynamic. Please take us through it. This is meant to look like an escalation, but at least in a Raytheon's case, it really doesn't mean a whole lot or does it. Well, you know, it is very curious as you were just saying, so for the companies, in terms of business impact, it's minimal to note to zilch. It's not like Raytheon and Lockheed are selling weapons to China. And what's very curious, but this does ratchet up U.S. China tensions for sure. And with the case of Raytheon, what's really interesting is that they targeted Raytheon's missiles and defense unit. But carved out the commercial side of the business, which is a key supplier to China's airlines and China's own plane maker comac of things like jet engines and navigation equipment and landing gear. So they've sanctioned correct. If I'm understanding crowd, they've sanctioned what they don't use or don't buy and left the others without sanctions, correct? Yes, that's exactly right. That's exactly right. But it does add to the sort of fevered environment that we find ourselves in right now. Yeah, because I guess if you just look at it on paper, the fines look pretty draconian. Yeah, they sure do. They sure do, I think it also is it's a not so subtle reminder that there could be financial consequences. For a very large U.S. manufacturer down the line. And the Chinese are sort of masters at hinting at further pain that could be to come. And could this possibly be that it's aimed basically for China's domestic consumption as well? Well, that's exactly it. I mean, they are badly trying to recover from COVID. COVID, which is wiped out, travel and their airline industry. And so they're trying to bring planes back into the skies. And restricting these U.S. made parts from their own airlines would definitely hurt wind up hurting their own economy. So Lockheed in the United States is a quick to point out that it works very closely with the U.S. on international sales, so, you know, it works on strategy from the U.S. side as well. Yes, exactly right. And people also need to remember that any foreign sales by U.S. defense companies need State Department approval. They're not freelancing when it comes to China. It's all very, very strange. We live in very odd times. Well, yes, we too. And the sales of those, the commerce and the transportation and airlines building is important to Lockheed and to Raytheon as well. So I mean, you know, that plays into the equation too, doesn't it? It does. So Lockheed is pretty much a pure defense play. So I guess I could see. Why China's, well, I don't know. I mean, I really don't know why any of this is going on. But the stories are a little bit different for those two companies. Yeah, and just so we have less than 30 seconds, but now this mixed with the balloon and you've touched on this alluded to it because this is Taiwan is a separate issue, but it complicates things even further. Yes, it sure does. It sure does. Washington acted first by blacklisting 6 Chinese companies that were linked to the balloon. So this is they've responded. In kind, it appears. All right. All right, Julie, hey, thank you so much for your time. Great information. Julie Johnson Bloomberg aerospace reporter in San Francisco

"Bloomberg radio. Among the great business rivalries of our time is the duopoly of Airbus versus Boeing, Tim, you know this so well you love planes. Those two essentially own the commercial aerospace industry. Each plane maker has a lineup of products that compete with one another. Airbus answered a Boeing 7 37 family, for example, is that a three 20. Then for the a three 50, Boeing's got the 7 87. But that's about to change. Boeing recently revealed it won't design a new aircraft this decade, leaving it without a competitor to Airbus is smaller a two 20. And that narrow body design could be the next go to model in air travel. Bloomberg news aerospace reporter Julie Johnson writes about it in the business section of this week's issue of the magazine. It's a fantastic plane. I've flown on it a couple of times as well. And I'm a big fan. There's a window in one of the bathrooms. That's like one of the big highlights, right? Yeah, I guess so. I'm just gonna warn you, Julie. Tim is really, really into play. I know she knows. I bother her all the time with non work stuff. Like when we're picking flights to go places, he's like, well, you know what kind of plane that is. So anyway, so go ahead, tell us about your story, what you dug into. And by the way, Tim, I approve of this behavior. Thank you. Yeah. So anyway, the product strategy gamesmanship is really fascinating between these two. And as you hinted at, they've had pretty much a 50 50 duopoly of plane making for years. Decades. And that started to change recently, Airbus has taken control of the most important segment of the market, which is narrow bodies with a plane that has called the a three 21 neo that has just been a runaway sales success. So Airbus is doing really well at the top of the market, and we after Boeing CEO basically said, look, we're just not doing a play in the decade. Airbus CEO told Bloomberg. Hey, well, funny enough, we are looking really closely at a new member of the a two 20 family that would go right at the heart of Boeing's product lineup. Now, just a little bit of history here, but Airbus got the a two 20 at a fire sale. I mean, I think it was a dollar or Euro. I forget the currency from bombardier. Just it was really, it was a pittance back in 2018. Total fire sale. And when they picked up those first two a two 20 model, they also inherited really detail detailed engineering designs for a third and largest member of the family called the a two 2500. And so that's the plane that Airbus is now talking up publicly. First of all, what does it mean for Boeing if they don't have a comeback against it? So there are a couple of things going on and basically this is a classic pincer move. Where Airbus has the top end of the most important market in aerospace narrow bodies with the a three 21 and they would be coming back with a smaller plane that's targeted right at Boeing's bestseller, which is the max 8. So Boeing doesn't have a comeback that means they continue to bleed even more market share to Airbus and it's not good. Julie, you mentioned the max 8, so we got to go in on the 7 37 max and all the problems that Boeing has had. How much of Boeing's history of mismanagement with regard to the 7 37 max and the wake of the two crashes that killed hundreds of people a few years ago in the 20 month grounding of the plane, how much of that has to do with Boeing not coming up with a competitor to this a two 20? Well, Boeing's got 57 billion in debt right now. And that's a result of COVID and the max crisis. They had to stop building the max for a few months in 2020, but they were knocked out of sales for a long time. So anyway, the financial damage is going to be with Boeing for most of this decade. And that's a really big factor as to why they're just not in a position right now to do a new plane. But the max 8 has done really, really well in the market. And I believe it's outsold the a three 20 neo. So that's the comparably sized Airbus model. So it's definitely a success in the marketplace. Right now, Boeing's finances are riding on that plane. And the story that you guys report out says that that 7 37 max 8, that sales restart handed Boeing of victory over Airbus last year, the competition for the most aircraft orders. So Julie, the back and forth, I feel like anybody who's been in this industry of covering business news business stories, you know, from year to year, it's like Boeing got this order. Airbus got this order and kind of the back and forth. But I do wonder, is it potentially setting up for Airbus to have a longer term advantage here or how do you see it? You know, everything goes Airbus way, they will dominate the market. Not just this decade, but into the next decade as well. And so I think some people are really worried that Boeing might be facing sort of a slow slide in the mediocrity. But then I've got to just throw out just a grain of salt here because none of this is going to happen any time soon. Airbus has got some huge issues of its own and its production system is a mess right now. So they're not in a position to take on a new plane. And if they pursue the a two 2500, they're going to cannibalize one of their most profitable models, which is the a three 20 neo. So it's risky for them as well. That was Bloomberg news aerospace reporter Julie Johnson. I have to say we had so much fun with her. I mean, you guys, you, I know are so into planes and a big way she obviously is too. Well, speaking of that, it was a huge weekend for plane makers. Tuesday night in Everett Washington the last 7 47 ever assembled left Boeing's factory. The freighter is going to be used by the cargo carrier Atlas air. We did a feature over at Bloomberg quick take about the jets more than 50 year history and the way the airplane changed air travel forever. You can see that on our Twitter feed, just use the handle, add quick take. I think about so many movies, right? They use that plane like to show people going up, up the stairs, right to the bar or whatever. And it's not going anywhere. I mean, it's hard to find a passenger airline. They're none in the U.S. that actually fly it. Yeah. But it's going to be used as cargo planes for years to come. All right, good to know. Still ahead on Bloomberg businessweek from airplanes to automobiles. We'll hear from the CEO of car parts dot com and the president of Audi of America as the paradigm in the global car business continues to shift. We continue to see more and more consumers wanted to go into electrification and that's something where we well prepared. We're going to invest also going for 19 billion

Well, Boeing's got 57 billion in debt right now. And that's a result of COVID and the max crisis. They had to stop building the max for a few months in 2020, but they were knocked out of sales for a long time. So anyway, the financial damage is going to be with Boeing for most of this decade. And that's a really big factor as to why they're just not in a position right now to do a new plane. But the max 8 has done really, really well in the market. And I believe it's outsold the a three 20 neo. So that's the comparably sized Airbus model. So it's definitely a success in the marketplace. Right now, Boeing's finances are riding on that plane. And the story that you guys report out says that that 7 37 max 8, that sales restart, handed Boeing of victory over Airbus last year, the competition for the most aircraft orders. So Julie, the back and forth, I feel like anybody who's been in this industry of covering business news business stories, you know, from year to year, it's like Boeing got this order. Airbus got this order and kind of the back and forth. But I do wonder, is it potentially setting up for Airbus to have a longer term advantage here or how do you see it? You know, everything goes Airbus way, they will dominate the market. Not just this decade, but into the next decade as well. And so I think some people are really worried that Boeing might be facing sort of a slow slide in the mediocrity. But then I've got to just throw out just a grain of salt here because none of this is going to happen any time soon. Airbus has got some huge issues of its own and its production system is a mess right now. So they're not in a position to take on a new plane. And if they pursue the a two 2500, they're going to cannibalize one of their most profitable models, which is the a three 20 neo. So it's risky for them as well. That was Bloomberg news aerospace reporter Julie Johnson. I have to say we had so much fun with her. I mean, you guys, you, I know are so into planes and a big way she obviously is too. Well, speaking of that, it was a huge weekend for plane makers. Tuesday night, it never Washington the last 7 47 ever assembled left Boeing's factory. The freighter is going to be used by the cargo carrier Atlas air. We did a feature over at Bloomberg quick take about the jets more than 50 year history and the way the airplane changed air travel forever. You can see that on our Twitter feed. Just use the handle, add quick take. I think about so many movies, right? They use that plane like to show people going up the stairs to the bar or whatever. And it's not going anywhere. I mean, it's hard to find a passenger airline. They're none in the U.S. that actually fly it. But it's going to be used as cargo planes for years to come. All right, good to know. Still ahead on Bloomberg businessweek from airplanes to automobiles. We'll hear from the CEO of car parts dot com and the president of Audi of America as the paradigm in the global car business continues to shift.

"News at 25 and 55, this is a Bloomberg money minute, almost 20 years after Concorde stopped flying, we're seeing renewed interest in supersonic air travel. United Japan airlines and most recently American have placed orders for the overture, a jet being developed by boom supersonic, Bloomberg aerospace reporter Julie Johnson says the plane exists mostly on paper. We're still waiting to see a concept jet or a model out there. But they claim they'll get the first prototype by 2025. Which is very optimistic. It's really, really difficult to design new aircraft and get them through the certification process. And then there's the challenge of manufacturing them and developing a market. And although airlines have dozens of the planes on order. There's an asterisk with all of these orders. I'm not sure that the airlines are putting down huge amounts of money at this point. Don't expect to be flying on one of these new supersonic jets anytime soon, Johnson says tickets probably won't be on sale this decade.

"Do you think maybe hinges on the calendar It's getting warmer in Europe so maybe you can squeeze Russia on energy through the summer but when the winter comes back is that going to be enough time for Europe to find other options where they won't ever need to rely on Russia That is exactly the point So we've just ended winter here so heating demand is down And in fact Europe's reliance on Russian gas is really skewed towards the winter towards needing that natural gas for heating And the reliance during summer is much lower So you can replenish your inventories and then by September October this year you can hope that there's going to be a mild winter But if all Russian gas stops make no mistake there will be energy rationing of households of industry There will be a recession And that would last right through to next year into 2023 Long-term you can replace everything but this year or next you can't fully replace all of Russian gas then that would cause huge damage in Europe as much as it would of course damage Russia as well But we might get there if things don't get better Heading glory steam with the Eurasia group any things Thank you The U.S. has pledged to admit a 100,000 refugees fleeing from Ukraine but resettlement agencies in the U.S. are already stretched thin and that's prompting some refugee advocates to try out a new approach where regular people play a bigger role NPR's Joe rose reports When the family arrived in the U.S. a few months ago they had never even heard of Alabama And I was when they showed us the pictures I liked it And now that we are here we like it a lot This is the best place for us and we are not going anywhere Fled Kabul last year with their 6 kids He had worked as a security guard at the U.S. embassy They had no family in the U.S. and no friends But that changed pretty quickly once they arrived in Huntsville Sharifa switches from dari to English when she names all the people who've helped them since January I made a lot of friends in here Miss Amy miss Megan and miss Julie's mother in law Miss Julie is Julie Johnson She's one of the main reasons why the half Reese are in Alabama at all Julie and her husband Ben organized what's known as a sponsor circle to host them It's a new program created by refugee advocates and the U.S. State Department to make it easier for anyone to get involved in refugee resettlement and help fill some of the gaps in the system When we saw the withdrawal happen over the summer been being a veteran and having worked closely with the community in Afghanistan I mean here's just very distressed and distraught I am fully aware that a lot of people I served with were the Afghans that served with were killed many of them did not make it throughout the years so when we got the chance to repay this kind of personal debt I had to say yes These sponsor circles do many of the same things that resettlement agencies do for new arrivals First though they have to jump through a lot of hoops to show that they're ready And they have to raise money More than $2000 for each refugee they resettle to cover rent and other expenses Ben Johnson says his family found the money by canceling a trip to Disney World When he started asking others in Huntsville to help he was surprised by the positive response It's a very patriotic town People wanted to help and we presented people the opportunity to help which I don't think people ever got before This is part of the idea behind sponsor circles To get more people involved in helping refugees who might not have gotten involved before So far there are only a few hundred sponsor circles nationwide but supporters hope the program can scale up quickly This is kind of a DNA for what might turn into a broader private sponsorship effort Sasha chanoff is with refuge point One of the many nonprofit organizations that have been working to get sponsor circles off the ground The traditional refugee resettlement agencies that have done this work for years were forced to make deep cuts during the Trump administration They are struggling to keep up with demand and that was before the U.S. pledged to take a 100,000 refugees fleeing the war in Ukraine Chanoff says sponsor circles could help the U.S. make good on that commitment I think it has the capacity both to expand the scope of where refugees resettle in the U.S. and I also think it has the potential to help far more refugees come here For now the sponsor circle program is still working on the basics In Huntsville as in much of the country the big challenge has been affordable housing Ben Johnson thought he'd found a good place for the hoffa Reese but when the landlords saw them in person Johnson says they got cold feet We were there to sign the lease with the check in hand and then they decided to change their mind because they would they wouldn't know how to evict I would say it was the most difficult and it was the most frustrating part And we had some choice words after a conversation that we won't say out loud again But Johnson found another place renting from a company that had more experience with refugees The halfways seemed thrilled with their new house Their kids are sleeping in beds for the first time Humayun has found a job and sharifa is learning how to drive I like driving What are you going to do when you can drive Where are you going to go I will go to work In university I want to go to university also I like to learn a lot Ben and Julie Johnson are planning an Independence Day party for the ha furies to Mark 90 days since they arrived in Huntsville That's when their formal commitment to the family ends Though they would all agree that it feels more like a beginning Joel rose and PR news

This week, the Supreme Court upheld the law in a 54 ruling, a decision that sent polarizing shockwaves through Texas and the nation. The League of Women Voters. Texas CEO Gracia Means says the impact is troubling. I think it puts women and young women, especially at risk for their health and wide reaching The people who have an abortion or generally women who are poor, Their women who are in their 20, and many of them are women who have already had Children. Before the law passed in Texas. The debate over Senate Bill eight or the Fetal heartbeat bill was fierce in the state Legislature. Democratic State representative Julie Johnson, who represents House District 1 15 in Dallas County, gave a passionate speech on the House floor blasting what she says It's hypocrisy within the Legislature. Many of you come down here. To show your support, saying we don't condone sexual assault. We don't condone domestic violence to women. But the problem is a frequent complication of that is an unwanted pregnancy. And so it's one thing to say. Oh, thank you, representative for standing up and speaking about The horrors of sexual assault against women. But by God, we're going to make sure that you the woman are going to pay the ultimate price because we're not going to give you any discretion. Any choice of what to do with your own body. And the rest of your life and that hypocrisy is jaw dropping. Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor criticized the court for its decision to uphold the law, saying it quietly consented to Texas enacting quote a law that flouts nearly 50 years of federal precedents. Providers in Texas say the new law impacts about 85% of the procedures previously completed in the state. As a new law professor Eric CDO says providers will have to make changes to deal with the new normal For now. It's the current law so they'll all be. I think a little bit more careful about going forward until there's some better insight into how this is going to be applied. The law was designed to place responsibility for enforcing the rule on members of the public instead of state leaders. It allows private citizens to sue anyone accused of helping women get an abortion in Texas. These citizens will then get a $10,000 reward if they're successful. The law was intended to circumvent the landmark Supreme Court case Roe v. Wade, which ensured women's right to an abortion almost 50 years ago. Senate Judiciary announced Friday it will hold a hearing on the Supreme Court's shadow docket to rule on the case, meaning the justices did not hear the extensive records, briefs and oral arguments that are typical in these landmark cases, but until then, Abortion matters. Abortion advocates nationwide will continue to draw attention to what they say as a giant setback for women's.

We're talking about tickets that cost quite a bit of money and so the idea that anybody would feel. Sorry for them I i have to laugh at that. But the quotes that were in. The chronicle were disastrous for the democrats. Jessica gonzales told a reporter at the houston chronicle that. There's no proof that they went to portugal and that she doesn't respond to rumors period end of story. Here's some free advice. The way to not respond to a rumor is don't respond to it. Don't say anything. I didn't see anywhere that julie johnson that other state rep from From dallas was quoted anywhere. But don't tell people in the media that there's no proof of something and don't and then you don't straight answer yes or no one answer you could have given is no. We're not in portugal. We're still in washington but they didn't answer that way But what but all of that aside and republicans were making fun of them saying that they took off on a on a trip on a luxury trip and they need to be back in austin working in all of that too but whatever their plans were and of course after that we heard about other democrats who might have been travelling to different places but whatever their plans were what it really tells you is that there is some resentment simmering within the democratic caucus the way that we found out that they had left and gone to europe. The way we heard about it was for members of the democratic caucus who are stuck in a hotel that's not a luxury hotel in washington dc. And i think there have been some democrats who have been making the case privately to their colleagues that look. We can't hold out forever and we need to go back to austin. We need to You know participate in the legislative process and bills are gonna pass that. We don't like but part of being an adult in the legislative process is working to make bills better even if you're going to oppose them on final passage that actually did happen during the regular session of the legislature in it happened on the elections bill and the reason that there is so much distrust between so many of the democrats and republican leadership is because that work that was done to make the bill better was undone behind closed doors at the end of the legislative session in a conference committee that did not include democrats in the process and things were added into that bill that were very offensive and things that republicans later disavowed and something. I have never seen before.

"Symptoms of it. It's yet another of the many piece of information that has come out about potential side effects of this or other vaccines. And more study still needed. We need to get to the place where you have full approval by the FDA. Still not there. Yet A lot of other things need to happen in the world of science. And yet a lot of people pretend as though that's not a true fact. And it just simply is and it's not anti vax. It's not any of that stuff and actually kind of on the same topic. Tucker Carlson went after Dick Durbin because Dick Durbin went after him. All this occurred within the last day or so. Dick Durbin, a politician at Illinois, Um, I thought it was interesting that on the on the floor, you know there was the conversation by Dick Durbin about some terrible, terrible people out there in the world of news, and one of those people was Tucker Carlson. I have that audio and then Tucker's reaction to it. There are two host of programs on Fox Primetime. It can only be characterized as anti vax quacks. I'm referring of course to Tucker Carlson. And Laura Ingraham. They have been spreading what I consider to be Irresponsible information about vaccines across America and about the effort of this nation to deal with him. Yeah, So there is the Dick Durbin Hot take. And here is the Tucker Carlson response, spreading irresponsible information and notice what he didn't say. German did not accuse us of spreading false information. He did not accuse us of being factually wrong. We haven't been nor we against backs vaccines, of course, very few Americans are against vaccines. Virtually every American is that a ton of vaccines and was expecting to take this one. When you refuse to answer basic questions about the vaccine, and when you dodge them with partisan talking points like that, you make people nervous. Americans have a right to have basic questions answered before they submit to taking a medicine. That is their right. The Durban and hacks like Fauci, persistent pretending that anyone who has questions is somehow a right wing ideologue. What is, uh, Incredibly true about what Tucker says in his response. There is that it makes a lot of people very uncomfortable when Questions getting asked are treated as though they're inappropriate to be asked. It makes a lot of people wonder about the truth of anything that someone is telling you if you if you have a question if someone is telling you anything, whether it's a factor in opinion, and you want to ask a question in response to that, and they treat you like you're stupid for asking, you immediately worry that they're not being honest that they're trying to convince you or persuade you In a way that's not on the up and up. That's just human nature. One of the many things misunderstood about even the talking points around getting vaccinated the way in which it should be handled. For those that doubt it is not door to door salesman. That is definitely not the right approach, but certainly a conversation that accepts the position of those that don't want to get vaccinated. Understand some of the reasoning behind it as valid and then still tries to maybe have a conversation with someone like that. Someone who believes in that to say, why maybe you know there's another side to that conversation. Whether or not they choose to accept it also in okay, outcome to any of that. I also saw this story. Texas Democrats Uh, this is this fantastic Texas Democrats decided to take a bus and then fly to Washington, D. C. In order to go, go fight the fight to make sure that they had equal rights in the world of voting. This is something that that several of the Democrats have decided to do together, so they left their their positions their work for the day. As as state Democrats as state senators. What's really funny is they post a video, one of them on social media. Her name is Democratic State representative Julie Johnson of everybody on a bus headed toward the private plane. Nobody's wearing masks as they commute the Abbas in via plane, and they also have cases of Miller Lite I, one of which is actually in the photo sitting on one of the chairs on the bus, So just so I I fully grasped the story, which I think is kind of lovely that is making the rounds on social Media a bunch of Democrats in the state of Texas Decided to go fight for voter rights, at least in their opinion by writing, uh via bus and and plain well boozed up on Miller Lite and not wearing any masks, even though you're still supposed to do that on a flight, I guess, because that's the money Well, spent a version of this this government we all love that's hilarious to me. And I can't believe that they're not getting they deleted the post. By the way, you have to look it up other places on Twitter because it's so great at saving things that other people realize I should have put that up there. But I just love the push back on this and the story itself. If it feels like this is Babylon Bee, but it's real life. All right. I got to take a break a lot in a bit. This is Craig Collins filling in on Tony Katz The morning.
