"Schedule your free in home estimate. It is four ten. President Biden's calling for fresh bipartisanship and cooperation in Washington. Let's just sort of join hands again a little bit. Let's start treating each other with respect. This president made those remarks during the national prayer breakfast. He indicated that he and House speaker Kevin McCarthy are doing their best to work together. But not long after, though, those remarks, there was new friction on Capitol Hill. The Republican led House voted to pass a resolution, removing democratic congresswoman Ilhan Omar from the powerful House foreign affairs committee. The GOP argues Omar should not serve in light of past statements she's made related to Israel that in some cases were criticized by members of both parties as anti semitic.

"This is the officer Tatum show. The left ain't seen nothing yet. Ladies and gentlemen, gentlemen, ladies, welcome back to the office of Tatum show. I'm your host, Brandon Tatum. Let me get my caller in. From Los Angeles, California. Brent, welcome back to the office state of the show, what you got. Market does officer Tatum. I'm sorry, I wasn't able to I'm sorry I wasn't able to meet you last Sunday at the 8 70 town hall you were terrific. Thank you so much. You were there? Yeah, I was there. I wanted to meet you, but you had to take off early. Oh man, I hate that because if you would have told me that you were going to be there, I would have made it a point to find you in the audience or wherever I need to find you in order to say what's up and speak to you. Next time I'm in California, I'll let you know. Absolutely. But I wanted to say, every single day Marxist leftist predator Democrats prove how patriotic, religious Americans are always right. And with their limitless lies and their rage and their rioting and their political arrests and imprisonments and their suspension of our constitutional rights to serve their socialist Stassi democracy and with their utter refusal to engage in good faith dialog to defend their demonic dogmas such as their CO2 climate carbon con or their deadly and effective mRNA toxic spike con or their LGB through Z trans scam cons or their 2020 criminal election con, fused with their fully fictitious election insurrection with these in so many more, they pathologically prove themselves daily to be sanity, morality, truth and reality, deniers. Oh, I love it. I love it. I love it, Brent. Thank you so much for the call, man. I gotta put, I gotta put your stuff in like a book. Like a poem book. Because I just, I love it, man, but thank you. Thank you for calling in. I appreciate it. So ladies and gentlemen, I just, I wish that I could articulate it like Brent does, but it is a con, like we give them too much credit. Like we are literally giving them credit as if this is a good faith disagreement. No, this is a con. They know Dern will, the climate change isn't significant enough to ruin our country in order to make these crazy steps. They know that that's not real. Or they would be buying houses on the water. And banks wouldn't give you a loan for a house on the water if it was going to be underwater in two years. We know they. They know better than that. Obama bought a house in Martha's Vineyard. They wouldn't sell them a house of Martha's Vineyard if they didn't have a they'd be doing, they would take steps right now to moody's houses off of the coast. I mean, significant steps mean they wouldn't sell any house on the coast when give a single loan and they'll be the government be forcing people to move their house back so they don't get completely flooded. It's a con game. It's a Ponzi scheme. These people are evil. And we gotta whip them on over the 8th. Hold a phone, I'll be back after the break. This is the officer Tatum show. And afraid to tell it like it is. Welcome back, welcome back. Welcome back to the oxidative show ladies and gentlemen, your host brand and Tatum. Carl Jackson is going to feel in for me tomorrow. I'll be out of town in Chicago doing an event with Larry elder. It is going to be amazing, tremendous. I normally don't like to go to Chicago 'cause it's probably cold, then I don't know what, and I don't want to get Jussie Smollett, smooth leaded, and Chicago. I'm just playing. That's probably a lot of good people out of Chicago. Probably a lot of great areas. Just so happened in the south side of Chicago, I think the west side of Chicago is where I do not want to be. Why? You may get killed with a straight bullet in a drive by shooting. I'm just keeping it real. And Lori dirty foot, you know, she ain't doing nothing to protect anybody in her community. Anyway, let me get to clip too. I want to go clip to a pundit from MS DNC. I want you to hear with this food said. Never before, since Jamestown and Plymouth rock has America been in such danger. Joe Biden is saying the same thing tonight. And a historian 50 years from now, if historians are allowed to write in this country, and if there are still free publishing houses and a free press, which I'm not certain of, but if that is true, a historian will say what was at stake tonight and this week was the fact whether we will be a democracy in the future, whether our children will be arrested and conceivably killed, we're on the edge of a brutal authoritarian system and it could be a week away. Now, you know, I should always want to, how people go to hell for a lot. There you go, right there. That dude line like a you know what? There ain't no way. What are you even talking about, bro? Who told you that you couldn't go to certain restaurants if you didn't get the jabby jabby? Who told you you can enter into society in a bastion they banned you on social media. If you question the Fauci algae, what party ban people, I mean, you can't even be online at all. Delete your social media and everything. Because you had a question about an election. When in 2016, they literally spent the whole Trump administration. They spent the entire length of his administration challenging the election. Hillary Clinton said it was fake. Said it was stolen by the Russians. He's not a legitimate president. Which party is more totalitarian authoritarian. They literally will ban you if you have speech that's different than errors. They will ban you. You won't be online. They work with the FBI to suppress certain subject matter. They won't release the laptops. Working with the FBI and big tech social media. Come on, man. You can't be. Listen, I think we understand this. If you were a layman, right? You were just in the middle. And you heard Republicans say it's an existential threat to America if Democrats get into power and you're a Democrat say the same thing about Republicans. What would be the best course of action for you? It probably would be for you to go and do some research. And I told you, you think about it, think about it for what it is. Who's creating situations of violence and criminality. Democrats, they try to walk away from it now, but they wanted to defund the police. Reimagine police. We remember 2020, you remember, I remember if you're building got burned down, do you remember that? How many politicians came out against them? Kamala Harris said she don't pay the bill. For people burning down your business. People and political power are going to pay the debt. The bond, bail out, get out of jail, people who burn down your community. That's the Democrats have done that. I know what you know what we can see it as clear as the noonday sun. If you were in the middle, which party has the most violent rhetoric. It's the Democrats. I had to collage Montage. I played the other day. The Montage were like, an hour. Worth of material where people are saying they want to burn up the blow up The White House. They want to be hit the president, you had a little washed up comedian, have Donald Trump head, beheaded, and I think it's called effigy. I could be saying it wrong. You got all kinds of politicians. There was a person that tried to kill justice Kavanaugh. How did just Kevin Owens get killed? Because somebody leaked the

"Free in home estimate. It's ten 11, President Biden pardoning all those who were convicted of federal simple marijuana possession. He urges governors to do the same for people convicted on state charges. He's also asking for a review of how marijuana is classified under federal drug laws. CBS News chief, Washington correspondent major Garrett who also hosts the takeout podcast joined Sean and Hillary to talk about the pardons. Timing clearly related to the midterm elections. There's been a lot of campaigning within the cannabis community on The White House to change policy about either those in prison or those who have been convicted and released on federal charges of possession and for our understanding of this, it really is more important to those who have already served their sentences and are out in the world trying to find jobs or housing opportunities, this pardon will remove the Specter and the stigma of having a federal marijuana possession conviction on their record, which could open up opportunities currently denied. White House officials on the conference call about this policy announcement made it clear that there is currently no one in federal prison right now strictly on a position conviction only. So even taking this away from them would not mean they would be released from federal prison. They'd have to fill out the remainder of their other charges. They were convicted of. But it does send a signal to governors, as you said, the president's in favor of reorienting all judicial policy about sole possession of marijuana and decriminalizing that as much as possible to as he said open up opportunities denied to people simply because they have one rap for one possession of marijuana. This announcement comes on the same week where OPEC says it wants to cut oil production by a couple of million barrels per day in that raises the specter of potential spiking gasoline prices once again. President certainly can't be happy with that piece of timing. No, no doubt. And this is bad for the administration on three levels. One, the administration made kind of a public last minute lobbying campaign to not have this happen. That didn't work so clearly the Saudis and all the members of OPEC plus, including Russia, ignored that. Two, it could increase gas prices right before the midterms never a good timing for any president in power. And third, it will reinforce Republican arguments, not about existing supplies because Biden administration changes on permitting and exploration. Don't have any real consequential effect on existing supplies, but they would reduce it in the future. Republicans say you're anti energy here in the United States. This will reinforce that argument in a generalized political sense. So it doesn't work well for the administration, but I would say after reading a lot about this and talking to some sources in the energy world, OPEC plus made this decision because it sees a global recession coming. Whether there'll be one in the United States or not, we don't know, but they see it coming and they don't want global or prices in a recessionary climate to fall below $90 a barrel. That's why they're cutting production. CBS News chief, Washington correspondent major Garrett who also hosts the takeout podcast. It's ten 13. Hey

"Now on double DTP President Biden announces this afternoon that he is pardoning all federal offenses of simple marijuana possession, and he's searching governors to do the same for people convicted on state charges. He's also asking for a review of how marijuana is classified under federal drug laws, it's currently a schedule one substance under federal drug laws. It's considered basically the same as heroin and LSD and their mister Biden's major steps toward perhaps decriminalizing marijuana. Joining us live to talk more about its CBS chief Washington correspondent major Garrett, whose new book is titled the big truth, major have you back? Thank you so much. Great to be with you.

"Is the takeout with Major Garrett. Welcome Back to the takeout. Ben! Tracy. Ben, What is your title? My title is kind of clumsy, It's senior national and environmental correspondent. There we go. Titles matter and Jeff Bear daily. As I've said before meteorologist climate specials for CBS, so folks are watching on C. B s N and listen listening, but especially watching. I'm holding up a Photo copy of the cover of what is called the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. Climate Change 2021 the physical science basis summary for policymakers. Jeff Bear Deli. What is that? So that's been going on since 1990. The world came together, you know, in the late eighties decided, Hey, climate change is going to be an issue. We have to come together as an international group and tried to figure out first of all, how to make sure that we understand the science and then what we do following that, so they've been putting out reports every five or six years, give or take. Since that time, Uh, this is a R six. So assessment report, 6261. And this was the science reports. So this is basically a compilation of all the science that's been done over the past several years built on a foundation of the science has been done over the past several decades. And so it's what we know. We're clear on what we still have to learn about, and it's it's quite a large document. Um, but it's no new. There's no new research, and it's just the research that's been done by scientists all over the world of the past three years. Experts will look at and say This is our degree of confidence. And this is how we see humans are impacting the climate and there's a lots. Hurricanes floods team works. I'm going to read some top line conclusions from the first few pages of this climate change, 2021 report, but first, Jeff From my audience benefit. Are there. Those who still disbelieve IP CC reports? Are there skeptics are there deniers? Are there those who say the scientist still wobbly? There are some. It's about seven or 8% of the population, so it's not huge. It's typically very, very conservative folks. Believe it or not, there's a counter I P. C. C report. Literally. There's an organization. I think tank that puts out a counter I V. C C report. I don't know if they did it this year, but they did it in the past, But the thing is is it's a It's a waning Percentage of the population. The vast majority believe that climate change is happening. But where there's some grey area is that a large percentage of people think that they're not certain if it's being caused by humans, But I can tell you that 99 And greater percent of scientists believed I know that climate change is being caused by humans. If you ask people black question, Bill Seo climate scientists are split 50 50. That is not the case. There is almost unanimous. Understanding that climate change is caused by All right, Uh, Ben, I'll get to you just a second. I want to run one thing more by Jeff. So this is a 11 from the IPCC report. I'm going to read it to you observed increases and well mixed greenhouse gas. Concentrations since around 17 50 are unequivocally caused by human activities reaching annual averages of 410. Parts per million for carbon dioxide. 186 parts per billion for methane and 332 parts per billion for nitrous oxide. What does that mean? Well, these are Green house guests that we're releasing through the burning of fossil fuels. You might ask. How do we know this is the highest that these gases have been like carbon dioxide, the highest spin in at least two million years. How do we know that? Scientists can go back and look at ice force from brain Lind from Antarctica. They can look at sediment cores down at the bottom of the ocean, and they can actually see preserved bubbles of air. It can then analyze those bubbles of air, and they can see that Used to be that the ports per million. So the amount department dioxide molecules per million molecules used to be 280 back in the 18 hundreds. Now it's 415. So we've seen a dramatic increase in such a short period of time, and I'll just emphasizes that rate of changed. That's a big problem. It's not good change. If it happened over thousands of years, it wouldn't be a big deal. But it's happening over literally decades and centuries, which really complicates matters in terms of us adapting in Michigan.

CBS's major Garrett offers analysis to the president's message to the American people. You can't look at these images and say, Wow, this looks like a substantial progress situation. The other thing, the president said that I think it's worth noting. The U. S government is in constant contact with the Taliban, meaning the Taliban essentially exercises some measure of veto control over the passage of Americans to Kabul airport and Afghans trying to make it to that same airport meeting. The United States government essentially has to ask permission of the Taliban to get Americans and Afghan allies out of that country. Meanwhile, the president said next week the G seven the seven leading world economies Will meet to discuss the situation in Afghanistan. The six University of

"I hope you are enjoying this conversation about something that is A part of all of our lives. We live here in America. The Constitution is The rules we wrote down And we turn to it all the time. Informally and formally to figure out how we're doing and how we're either living up to or failing to live up to what is said before ourselves and the world. Jeff Rosen, CEO, president of the National Constitution Center. Um, in not just our history, but in world history. How important is the Constitution? Is it describable how important it is, It's the greatest and most endurable. Document of human freedom in world history. There's no written constitution that survived so long or proved so successful or durable. It's since do we appreciate that enough as a country? Well, I don't think we can appreciate it enough. But where will the way to appreciate it is to reflect on the alternatives. To think about the freedoms that it protects to recognize its weaknesses, strengths and failings. That's an important part of the process of perfecting out of making the union more perfect, but ultimately accepting and celebrating it as a framework for deliberation that it doesn't sound as um Stirring as the words of the declaration pledging our lives and fortunes and speaking honored to rebellions, Germany or or even soaring, uh, words of the bill of rights. In the 14th amendment, Congress shall make no law respecting, you know, freedom of speech, but simply being able to deliberate peaceably. Rather than taking to arms and slaughtering each other. Is a tremendous achievement in human freedom. That's not been the case for the great democracies of ancient Rome, which fell as the framers recognized and ended in, uh tyranny or oligarchy or Bloodshed. It wasn't the case for the God It's no established UDS religions that govern the the monarchies of Europe for the middle Ages, and even the Enlightenment. We should we just can't take for granted the fact that we have a framework where for all of our polarization for all of the Twitter extremism for all of the, uh, the the passion that we see every day, generally with with the exceptions we've talked about, like July six Americans don't take up arms and try to shut down the government. They're willing to accept Supreme Court decisions that they disagree with. They're willing to accept. Election results they disagree with. They must be willing to accept that if the system is going to work, and that's a tremendous achievement that that is worth celebrating. So you live at this intersection of Research about reverence for an education about the constitution. It's my sense, but I could be wrong about this. That the Constitution itself has become a kind of polarizing document more in the last 10 years than it was in my memory. Before that, I could have that wrong. I'm just curious. I think the Constitution is the unifying document. There's no question America, of course, has become polarized. Okay, There's an awful lot of polarization about the meaning of the Constitution. As we see in the Supreme Court where there are, you know, important 5 to 46 to three decisions, but we've just ended a Supreme Court term where the court has been unanimous at a higher rate. And at any time in recent history, even despite the the the passing of Justice Ginsburg and the addition of justice, parent and we saw, remarkably, the triumph of Chief Justice John Roberts is hope. Of presiding over narrow unanimous opinions. Judd joined by justices of different backgrounds, All those unanimous decisions or nearly so 7 to 2 are unanimous. Upholding the affordable care act recognizing religious liberty, Recognizing the free speech rights of that cheerleader on Snapchat are all a triumph of the idea that the Constitution and the courts that shouldn't be polarizing and in order to maintain their democratic legitimacy. Citizens have to recognize the judges are not Politicians and robes as justice, Breyer said in a recent speech and that the constitution transcends politics. If you're still with us, you care about this topic, and you care about the Constitution. So I'm going to give Jeff a moment to do a commercial on behalf of the National Constitution Center. Obviously you can visit it, obviously, but you can interact with it. How and what can they find? Thank you for the opportunity to plug this. Amazing learning platform friends who are watching. It's so exciting that the National Constitution Center has launched this interactive constitution. Uh, it's gotten 45 million had since we launched in 2015 were not the most Googled Constitution in the world. 500,000 people a day were visiting the interactive constitution during the electoral college disputes and on this incredible Non partisan document. You can find the top liberal and conservative thinkers in America, writing about every clause of the constitution, describing what they agree about and what they disagree about. It's just a model for civil dialogue and learning. You can find the podcasts and videos and programs that we host every week that bring together liberals and conservatives for civil dialogue about the constitutional issues in the news. You can find early drafts of each constitutional provisions and see how they evolved. And maybe most Excitingly for for the future of constitutional education. You can find the videos of the live classes that we are now offering on the Constitution kind of civics, one on one classes for middle school students, high school students and adult learners. It's so meaningful to be able to teach these classes and and share this light and learning. Um and it's wonderful that, um people across America can access them to free so I'm kind of a pro at this and what I've done is I've set up a springboard that I hope Jeffrey will jump on with relish and vigor. And the Supreme Court is this you've had and invited to this process. Liberals, conservatives and libertarians to think up and a draft alternatives to our existing constitution. This may take up all of this segment and our next segment. I don't care how long it takes because I've read about it. It's fascinating. There's the springboard, Jeff Jump. I'm happy to what an amazing project that was, As you say, We convene three teams libertarian, conservative and progressive of really well known scholars to draft constitutions from scratch and the results. Really surprised us. Far from completely throwing out the current constitution. All three teams proposed to reform or refine it, rather than totally abolishing it. But what was even more surprising was the areas of agreement. Remember, these teams didn't talk to each other. They went off in the state of nature of the state of Zoom and basically talked among themselves and they came back and it just blew our minds. The Conservatives and progressives both proposed Two amendments with nearly identical language. One of the amendments would have abolish the electoral college and replaced it with national popular vote with rank choice voting for president. And the Second Amendment would have 18 year term limits for Supreme Court justices. Now I just reconvene the teams and ask them. Do you think if we brought you back and you met in person at the National Constitution Center could you actually agree on the wording of the constitutional amendments that you know we could then offer as emblems for Consensus and, uh, for the world and they're up for it. So next year, we're going to convene in Philadelphia, bring these great three teams together and hold an actual mini convention. We were talking about the rules.

"Take out Heard on WTMJ is on Saturday afternoons. I always listen and the debrief with Major Garrett Fantastic podcast. Major. Good afternoon. I wanted to start with the incredible reporting you've done on the vaccine strategy and how it varies from state to state, Wisconsin. Sadly, not doing very well, according to a lot of different metrics. Why're states like West Virginia doing so well? West Virginia decided a couple of things one that it would not do the federal model with its pharmacy distribution, meaning the federal government said you could work with the three major change Rite Aid Walgreens or CBS. Or opt out and what West Virginia opted out. So what that meant Woz. All the pharmacies in West Virginia could give vaccine supplies that West Virginia was able to With his hands on West Virginia has five hubs across the state that uses its national guard to take the vaccine from those five hubs and then move it straight to pharmacies. And that pharmacy used Has been accepted by the local communities in which those pharmacies are known and trusted a huge part of any successful vaccine campaign rollout and closest by proximity to the population that they most wanted to vaccinate first. Meeting those in nursing homes. They're educators for Children in case they're 12 over age 50 and their health care workers. So they developed a plan starting last summer getting ready for this. And as soon as the vaccines became available, they put their plan into action and because it didn't rely on the national chains and National chains only represent about 45% of the pharmacies within West Virginia. They knew they needed to rely on the other independent are mom and pop pharmacies. That's what they did, and they've been well ahead of other states. Even though much of West Virginia small populations, rural, isolated areas, they've been a very good job. A major. One of the experts tell you about when we might be able to do things like go to baseball games or get on cruise ships. Well, those are two completely different things. Cruise ships are because they are so close, and it's very difficult to eat or engaged in activities without proximity. That's different, but a ballpark It's open when you open the roof and Milwaukee or any other place if you have if you have people was facing and they've got vaccinations, the hope is, I think Major League Baseball would like to see some fan involvement. May June at the latest, some fan involvement and then by July and August, maybe things in the multiples of thousands with adequate spacing and again. That's also going to depend not only on health and safety. Consumer comfort. Who's willing to go back and under what conditions But I My personal belief is that by the all Star break, we're going to be seeing fans and every major league ballpark and larger numbers from the All Star break forward. That's my hope for sure, And I think it's consistent with what most experts have told me is at least possible. CBS chief Washington correspondent Major Garrett is with us major. I want to switch to impeachment, the former president, President Trump's entire legal team resigned a week out from his trial a new teams in place. What is the former president's strategy for next week's impeachment trial? I'm confused by what's happening here. You should be first of all the team that the president originally signed up. He signed up with the help of Lindsey Graham, South Carolina Republican one of his few continuous interlocutors in the United States Senate. Mostly attorneys. One for South Carolina didn't have a lot of experience there, and it wasn't really clear how much they were going to get paid and how much the president thought they should be paid, and he also wanted them to talk a lot more about Fraud, you little election, which they were not comfortable doing Well, Then they all quit. Then the president of horribly hired two other attorneys with experience. They're not fly by night attorneys by any stretch, and essentially, they're telling the Senate This is unconstitutional. The president didn't incite anything, and it's all just a big never mind. I mean, that's the sum total of their legal arguments. And today, the House managers put together an 80 page document essentially laying out their constitutional case and their fact based case. Why what the president said all through Summer and through election day, and they're after constituted incitement, and that if he didn't know he should have known that his words had power and those who stormed the capital did so. It's not in his direct Urging. Thinking they were doing so with his support and committed crimes in the name of the president, and therefore the president has to some level be accountable, held accountable and they believe impeachment and conviction. The Senate is the remedy that the Constitution affords to do just that. Right, Major. You guys got some snow. You generally don't get as much snow as we get here in Wisconsin. Well, no, We don't Seems like few people do what? How are you in the wife coping with that You make snow angels. No men have any fun. We live in an apartment and the apartment has no balcony.

The White House has a message for Democrats and Republicans on Capitol Hill. You are not Splitting up the covert relief plan. While the Biden administration left the door open to changes in the nearly $2 trillion proposal. It is ruling out dividing the package as some members of Congress have suggested. Lawmakers are questioning the constantly some of them are, and they're suggesting that it be broken up into smaller packages. Joining US live CBS News chief Washington correspondent Major Garrett who hosts the take out podcast. Hello, Major. Hello. Good afternoon, everybody. Hi. So this appears to be the administration's first significant battle. What do we need to know about what's happening there? So what you accurately summarized with White House said today. We're not splitting us up, and I prefer everyone to something President, Biden said earlier this week. I think it was revealing and very, very important. And based and it's based on his knowledge as a legislative negotiator, he said. In negotiations, everyone holds out their position until there's no other alternative. That's absolutely true. And he knows that well, and what he's telling members of Congress is party and Republicans. Look, Let's not have this conversation. Let's not waste any time about whether we're dividing this or separated into two or three different component bills. That's not gonna happen. It's gonna be one bill. I'll talk to you about the size, the cost and some of the scope, But it's one bill and what's his big lever in his back pocket reconciliation? That's a 50 plus one vote majority in the Senate, So he's telling all the lawmakers We'll discuss your options, but no, This is your alternative, and that's where he's going to start the talks. Major were eight days into the Biden era. There have been significant announcements virtually every day. We've seen the president virtually every day. How would you characterize the start of the Biden term in office? Well, it reminds me of kind of the start of the Trump. Presidency, which was to eradicate a race or move in a completely different direction from the predecessor of the Obama administration. And so Biden is trying to revamp things that come set in motion a long Obama Biden lines with a little bit more of a progressive flourish. This is what happens when you don't have as much legislating and you have a lot of executive orders, which means as the presidency shifts, so does priorities and so does activism. But in the end, he knows, and the country should know by this time if you want to get out of the pendulum swing of executive orders. How about we legislate? Major, the president, maybe in my former president, maybe in Mar a Lago, but he still has a firm grip over most Republicans on the Hill. House GOP leader Kevin McCarthy was down there this afternoon. And we know all of this is happening while an impeachment conviction appears unlikely. What is this portend for governing and the countries? We move forward? Well, I think the most important component part of Kevin McCarthy's visit tomorrow. Lago is both released a statement afterwards, saying the focus is on winning a Republican majority in 2022. Now that would sound like a normal, rational goal. But there's been all of this house Republican fighting among one another to Lynne Cheney, the number three in the House Republican leadership be ousted should to be all this internal bloodletting and what McCarthy went down tomorrow. Lago to get from the president was an emphasis on unity, which means the Fang ng He's Trumpian hard core conservatives who want to knock off Lynne Cheney and have this big battle Royal within the party. Kevin McCarthy doesn't want that. He doesn't want a bunch of primary challenges for House Republicans, and he went down to try toe get a peace pipe agreement, essentially with Donald Trump. As the former president, and that at least if you read the statement and reading between the lines, that's what he achieved so within the House Republican family, not the country writ large. That's the beginning of unity, which means they will probably be a unified opposition to Nancy Pelosi and much divide administration. Major. Thanks much as always appreciate it. Thanks. Thank you.

About the underlying walk, no courts to jump in and do that They're not and they're not going to and nothing is going to get the Supreme Court that's reversible. And everyone says Oh, my gosh.

The very beginning it's in the bill of rights. It's the First Amendment. Yes, there has to be a higher standard and a higher standard has been in law for a long time. It's not a departure. It's a verification, so they're separate things. Oh my gosh. The Supreme Court protected religious organizations and how they observed from covert restrictions. Yes, yes, There's a higher standard, right. Let's talk about that for a second. That was a big deal. Amy Cockney Barrett's first big swing vote opportunity there, and this puts limits on New York on Cuomo. When it came to, he was imposing attendance limits, like kind of like we have here in many cases with his own version of the color codes. 10 people in red Zones 25. People in orange zones seem to be disproportionately getting to the Catholics and the Orthodox Jewish congregations and so forth. So so this is a is a big deal. That sort of happened just over the holiday here in the court. Said. What the court has always said, which is Because it's in the First Amendment because it's in the bill of rights because it's in the Constitution. There's a higher standard that must be met. If you're going to restrict this activity. You better have a compelling state reason to do that. Mm. And if people have the volition to decide which they do, And you have to let them operate within the freedoms outlined in the Constitution that to meet is that doesn't strike me is radical and it doesn't strike me as something is his dangerous now did the chief justice when it was an eight member Supreme Court before him. He called me Barrett was nominated confirmed. Keep it for four. Yes, he did. So the chief justice comes down differently. But this didn't seem to me to be a radical departure that would should make us all breathless are nervous about what the court's going to do. And for the same reason, if any of these cases which I don't ever imagine they will get Supreme Court get there. The Supreme Court's not going to say you know what What doesn't matter, and we're going to keep President Trump in office, and it's not going to do that's not gonna happen. There's nothing that is meticulously legitimate about the assertions made so far and they've had plenty of time to find something and they found nothing. And that's the way it is. Major

Biden faces voters' questions during town hall
"Trump and his Democratic opponent, Joe Biden held simultaneous primetime town halls last night, where they faced questions from voters on a range of issues. The town Hall's replaced the second presidential debate after Mr Trump declined to participate virtually. But CBS news chief Washington correspondent Major Garrett thinks the president will take part in the third debate. I expect the president and the former vice president to be there. But if you look back at the history of presidential debates, the third debate has typically the lowest television audience and moves the fewest number of viewers. So the president is missing an enormous opportunity by opting out of the second debate. Jumping back into the 3rd may not give him the moment, um, he needs as for last night's dueling town halls that appears Joe Biden came out on top, at least in terms of ratings. Preliminary numbers from Nielsen Show 13.9 Million viewers tune in to watch the former vice president's Town Hall on ABC. About 13.1 million tuned in to watch Mr Trump's event on NBC, MSNBC and CNBC. These results measure TV viewership only does not include well does include streaming through a set but not other streaming activities. More accurate data will be available later today.
