"Schroeder in that case then declare a mistrial or prejudice or how do the mechanics of that work I'll explain that very easily The judge can't declare a mistrial Dan anytime he wants before the jury verdict after the jury verdict He's not limited in time and scope as to when he can deliver or declare a mistrial with prejudice or a mistrial without prejudice So options are all on the table for the judge and I think he's going to wait and see what this jury is going to do By the way Dan a little breaking story I don't know if you know this The judge has banned MSNBC from the courtroom because they had a reporter followed the jury bus That's just showing you how whack old they are Yeah we were just talking about that And it's just again I know you've you and I both be sure a lot in common one of the things I think that bothers us the most is just this grotesquely dishonest media environment Leo where we can't even agree on basic facts anymore I mean it was this article by I think it was Tim Carney at the Washington examiner It was so good And he said listen I guarantee you if you were to do a poll And ask a group of liberals What race were the people who were shot by rittenhouse What race were they He goes I guarantee you 33 40 maybe 50% of him would say oh they were black That just goes to show you how listen no one's denying the existence of racism where human beings are a lot of sinners among us We all are I wish we weren't But it dilutes real racism we should all be fighting with every ounce of energy we have at us When we start making up fake racism you can disagree with rittenhouse's actions That's perfectly fair It's a free society of the freedom to speak But the race of the victims Leo is not endowed They were all white everybody And rittenhouse was way too and I would argue he was a victim as well in this whole thing Dan I agree with you 100% I want your listeners know this You preach the fact that what we have on our side we always articulate the facts The other side don't play by that game They lie they cheat They don't care but you really focus on the facts And I follow that on my program or whenever I do Facts matter not for the left hand not for the left at all Yeah it's a shame you know Yeah it's not gonna drew the other day you know KBC They love you Everybody loves Leo Leo I was like I don't like even going in Via Leo is like he's the great I'm telling you if you ever want to walk into event unnoticed walk him with Leo Leo why don't you just skate right to your table You don't have to wait No one will ask you for a selfie They will all go to Leo I am a little damn because it's been weeks before I've been on the damn bag Geno radio show I know I know I wanted you to guess those next week but I know you're tied up but we Leo my audience really loves you We got to have you back more But on one last question I'll let you go you've been very generous with your time You're in high demand today So another just complete faux pas Just a mess by the prosecutor yesterday they transfer a drone video evidence Via text message Leo and it turns out in the transfer the video gets compressed which creates a real problem The prosecutor had a clearly high deaf or high resolution video of the incident They could see clearly and the defense had a grainy piece of crap because the prosecutor didn't do basic stuff you and I would do as an investigator on a lawyer Put it on a thumb drive put it on a DVD ask the defense did you get the video How does it look None of that happened Leo I mean again an example of is this malfeasance or miss reasons or is this guy generally this incompetent No Dan I want to be very clear about this First of all that's a constitutional violation The titles are the same exact discovery at the prosecutor It's a constitutional obligation You can not ignore what they try to do And this was at the last minute stand And I'll tell you right now in my opinion I hope the judge has examination and ask that prosecutor did you have the best evidence the high definition in your possession and did you turn it over If he says no I didn't turn over that in and of itself Dan to me is grounds for a mistrial with prejudice I agree 100% Leo I'm really stunned this kid's life at stake I mean you know listen if justice is only going to be blind to people of a certain political persuasion right Then there's no justice at all the whole meaning of the word gets thrown out Leo Terrell you're awesome I hope everybody listens to your show on KBC You can always listen to it online And yes you're right We have got to have you back more often It is a sin a moral reason not a moral sin You are not on this show more often Keep wearing tie Keep I don't know I'm never gonna lie to you brother I can't promise you that But if I come on your show I'll put a tie on just for you buddy how's that Sounds good Thanks a lot there We can't stay folks You got it You got it That was Leo Terrell with really some stellar legal analysis between him and Jenna Alice this week I think we've got a really good fact based scope in this case and what's going on Unlike the left that is still convinced some crazed white supremacist domestic terrorist cross state lines with a short bound rifle to murder a bunch of black men in Wisconsin where he didn't live That's the case That's the left still believes that happened because they're crazy people All right coming up I got this audio of a congresswoman Lauren bobert just I don't even know what to say about it But if you don't hear it if you missed it then you missed out on just a mic drop moment Coming up next.

"Josh Barrow, columnist for Insider On the right is Tim Carney, senior political columnist at the Washington Examiner and senior fellow at the American Enterprise Institute. On the left is David Day and executive editor at the American Prospect. As the U. S withdrew from Afghanistan, We heard complaints from many directions, and one of those directions was from Europe as US leaves Afghanistan. Europe sours on Biden was a Washington Post headline from August 31. Some European leaders had pushed him to extend the withdrawal deadline, which he did not do. Of course. Biden like Donald Trump before him, had been clear about his intention to end this war, But people were maybe understandably used to America. Not really meaning it. Europeans have also chafed at the still in place travel restrictions that make it impossible for many Europeans to travel to the US even as Europe has opened its doors to American travelers. In fact, the EU recommended placing new travel restrictions on America is the Delta Wave has risen here in several countries in the European Union have followed through on that. Our relationship with Europe was supposed to be warmer with Trump gone. So what's happened and do European leaders have good reason for frustration with America and the Biden ministrations to talk about that? Emma Ashford joins us Now Emma's a senior fellow with the new American engagement Initiative at the Atlantic Council, Scowcroft, Center for strategy and Security. Hi, Emma. Hey there, Josh. So the U. S has been the primary military power in Afghanistan for 20 years or had been many European countries were partners with us, But this is fundamentally our war. What's what position is Europe in to complain here? I mean, if they wanted this work so much, why didn't they fight it? Well, Europeans did fight this war. To some extent, right. The NATO ISAF mission has been an active part of the war in Afghanistan for for over a decade, and European countries contributed to that varying extents of, But as you noted, the point is that it was the US that carried the majority of the burden provided the majority of the forces most logistical support during that time. And when European countries finally figured out that that the U. S was leaving There was even some talk about staying behind after us left, but they were basically unable to do it because they are so reliant on U. S military capabilities. David, What do you make of this? And more broadly, what are what are the merits of a better relationship with Europe? Is there something that Biden should be delivering somewhere here on trade on the travel restrictions that he is not I think when Biden came into office, he thought that just the fact that he was not Donald Trump was going to endear him to Europeans and into extent that that that has been the case. Uh, but I think the administration to me seems to have pulled off. What, uh, what the Obama administration wanted to do as well which was sort of pivot to Asia. Look at the challenges vis a vis China as the primary kind of diplomacy and foreign policy that one sticking duct and Europe. Uh, haven't hasn't really been offered a whole lot on on those terms. And I think that Europe is feeling some some level of, uh out of its resentment or or abandonment or something like that. As a as a result, Uh, I don't. I mean, I still think that these alliances are still fairly strong and probably stronger than they were. Under Trump. And, uh, some of this crumbling does seem to me to be misplaced. Considering the burdens that the U S carried in Afghanistan, for example, and, uh, I think we I think we tend to make a little bit more of this than it might end up actually actually being and in practice. I need to agree with David that I think I'll in when it comes to international relations, just like with Covid people saw and believed that Once you got rid of Trump, it would be easy, which is ironic because that was Trump's argument five years ago was once you get rid of these idiots and put in me, it's going to be easy. These are hard problems, but I guess I wanted to ask, uh, Emma, one of the very interesting trends you've seen, both with Trump and then with Biden's rhetoric out of after pulling out of Afghanistan was a loss of appetite for the sort of I interventionism that really characterized the whole end of the Cold War up to Trump's election. This idea that the U. S was going to go around build democracies is sort of humanitarian intervention. I saw Biden's remarks as reflecting that in the U. S. People really don't have this appetite, and I'm wondering whether Europeans have that where European leaders are going on that question. Yeah. I mean, I think that's right. I think again. There is this trend going back all the way into the Obama administration where presidents say they're going to respond to us public opinion dial down the water and tender get away from sort of us overseas interventionism. Um, and then they tend to end up doing it a little anyway. But But this is definitely reflective of public sentiment here in the U. S. Um, and to some extent in Europe, I think the real difference in Europe is that there is perhaps slightly more appetite for intervention in those crises. That might end up causing large flows of refugees. Into Europe. So if you go back a few years, you look at what happened with with Isis with the Syrian Civil War ish. You know, the impact definitely fell more heavily on Europe. So the European states, I think, in general fields slightly more urgency about some of these problems than the US itself does, But I would I would say that the sort of broader problems between the U. S and Europe right now are not so much this question of interventionism, and it's more the sort of hold over policies from the Trump Administration. The travel ban. Runs the tariffs, the fact that the Europeans are finding that just some practical issues. Biden administration is not as different as they might hoped. And so what do you What do you make of that? It does seem arbitrary to me that we have kept in these travel restrictions on Europe at a time when when other countries that have been hit worse with covid or are currently being hit worse, are able to people from there are able to travel to the U. S and not from Europe. Um and the Covid situation in the US is worse than in Europe right now, so I'll, you know Well, I think especially at the very beginning of the pandemic. There was a strong case for travel restrictions. I don't see what the substantive cases for applying particular restriction on travelers from Europe, the United States and when I look at this action by the EU, or this recommendation by the EU that has turned into action. By some of its member states. For example, even if you're vaccinated, If you want to go to the Netherlands, you have to isolate for several days. If you're coming from the United States is that is that policy is that driven by actual European fear of covid coming in from the United States, or is that an attempt to pressure the US to move away from that hold over policy from the Trump administration that I think Europeans are right to say. Does not have a lot of basis in the current situation in the pandemic. Probably a little of both. I mean, certainly rising case counts here in the US with the Delta Very. And I do mean that the US is not gonna worse position when it comes to Covid. Um, but I would say that the European Union, um when it decided just recently that it would recommend that the U. S removed safe list for travelers, this last countries in Europe reinforce, um some of their restrictions on travelers from the U. S, Um, I think this was eventually European page. Patients running out The EU has been pushing, um, for most of 2021 to have these restrictions, lifted to resume tourism and travel between the two countries to rely on testing vaccines. And, as you say, this is this is a pretty reasonable arguments. I think, particularly given the high levels of vaccination in Europe and the fact that case counselor are better over there at this point, anything comparable much of the year and instead, the bike administration really dragged their feet on this, And so I think what we're seeing now is a is a question of reciprocity. It's it's European state. It's saying if you're not going to open up to our travelers, um maybe we're just going to Focus on public health instead, because we're not getting a lot out of this. David, Do you have a sense of what's driving the bike Administration here? Why they haven't moved on our restrictions on Europe. It feels like inertia to me, uh and and and maybe a somewhat of a level of over cautiousness and and, you know, maybe it's justified in places for Europe. To be pushing the US in in in a better direction. Uh, as these things go. I also think there are places where the U s really needs to push Europe. You know, Four or five months ago, the the Biden administration announced that they supported a trips waiver. The vaccine waiver at the process that the World Trade Organization to allow, uh generic manufacturers to help produce. These vaccines even if they don't have the patents for them, and the major impediments of that has been Germany. Germany, of course, is home to Biontech, which is the partner to Pfizer, which, obviously as done, uh, one of the more successful vaccines and so Germany was really implacably opposed to this and you need a full consensus. At the W. T O in order to get it done, and we've heard almost nothing from about.

"On the Left is David Dan, executive editor at the American Prospect. Work continues on the spending package, The Democrats hope to move through Congress through the budget reconciliation process. In theory, this package could spend $3.5 trillion over a decade. But AXIOS reports West Virginia Senator Joe Manchin has privately told the White House and congressional leaders that he might only support a package of a trillion dollars that is upper limit is a trillion and a half. Mansion, of course, is a conservative Democrat and is necessary to pass this package because you need every single democratic vote in the Senate to move the package. Of course, people say a lot of things and mention hasn't said this publicly. But it raises the question of what exactly can go in this bill, especially as some of the same moderates who are concerned about the overall size. The package are also pushing to remove the cap on the income tax deduction for state. Local taxes paid That's a big tax cut and only makes the math harder for the package Overall. So David, we're already seeing some part of the plan shrink. The White House wanted $400 billion to increase spending on home health care for seniors and people with disabilities. In the part of the bill. It's working its way through the House Energy and Commerce Committee. That's down to 190 billion. Are we closer this week to share terms on what this package is going to look like? Well, I mean, I'm very concerned, uh, not just about reducing the size of some of these things, but also reducing the effectiveness. I would take things out of the bill and make you know, go back to a few things that you can do. Well, I mean, we heard this week in one of the other mark ups that the dental benefits in Medicare Is not going to go online for eight years. We heard that the, uh the paid leave provisions would take two years to go online. The child care subsidies would phase in over six years. This there this is going to be very difficult to sell to the public that we passed this huge bill, but you're not going to see the benefit of it for years and years down the road and also the structure of some of these things is going to cut against their effectiveness. Particularly on paid leave, where it's kind of the the federal government acting as a stop gap in between state and employer based programs that they already have for paid leave. It just creates a logistical nightmare once again forces individuals to become little bureaucrats and figure out whether they are covered by which program and what program is better for them and and and then petition. And prove to the government that they aren't covered by other things. Uh, this, uh I would. I would scale the things that we know can at the level that we know they can be effective and move the other things to another day. Now I don't want to do that. I would rather have the fullness of these things, but I'm concerned about having 10. Ineffective programs than three effective ones. So which are the ones you would prioritize. I mean, you know some structural problems with the paid leave program and the long delay it would take to set up the Medicare dental benefit. What are the things that you think really can be effective at the gate and are the things that you would prioritize if you were dropping some things out of the bill? Given the long term challenge of climate change. I think the climate programs are central in my mind that they have to be done. And and that starts with the clean energy payment program. Of course, the Senate committee that is tasked with putting together that clean energy payment program, which is the clean electricity standard. It mandates a certain percentage of, uh Of of electricity coming from renewable sources by a certain date. So so the committee that is responsible for that in the Senate is run by Joe Manche. Then you can talk about health care. You can talk about the carrying economy, which you can talk about education. All of these things are huge burdens on the American public, particularly middle class families. So it's a bad place to be. It's a pick your poison kind of place, but I think throwing together a few half measure programs is not going to, uh, inspire the confidence in government. Uh, that is being more activists that that Democrats and people who support activist government like myself would need. In order to sell it to the public. Tim as I've seen these details come out, and particularly that idea that we would add a dental benefit to Medicare in 2028, So if Joe Biden was re elected, he would be able to brag about its implementation in the last year of his eight year presidency. Um, partly this is about the difficulty of the government has standing up programs in which we saw with the affordable care act exchanges. Although I would note it doesn't that even with reduced capacity does not take the government eight years to stand up the program like this, the main the main reason or seven years. I guess that it's The main reason for the delay is so that you can say Well, we're only paying for three years of this program instead of 10. It reduces the overall price tag and you hope that once the programs in place it's popular enough that you can't get rid of it in the future. Congress will put we'll put money forward and in the future time You see the similarly with Republicans when they did the tax plan? They passed in 2017 that parts of it were made permanent parts of it were temporary, with the hope that you know, it really wasn't supposed to be a temporary policy. The hope is that whatever you did is popular enough and you have enough political control. When it comes up the you can extend that. And this all seems like a very bad way to do the federal budget, But it's all an artifact. Of the Budget Act creates this budget reconciliation process, which is the only thing you can move with 50 votes through the Senate. And so we have this system that's full of veto points. You create this sort of absurd process to get around those veto points and you end up with an absurd process for deciding how the government is going to tax and spend. Yeah, the the realization that the politically smart thing to do by four individual politicians, especially party leaders, they realized that the best thing to do is to always stop the other party from doing anything. And this wasn't the case. Even when I first came to Washington you had, like, you know, Senator Moynihan trying to figure out how to make the tax cut bill better so that he could vote for it. And I mean, I don't mean to lionize old generations of lawmakers, but it was sort of There was a game and they realized they got better at it. And the game was not passing legislation. It was becoming a majority in Congress, and that was the end game and the that involved and winning the White House and that involves stopping the other side from doing it. And, you know, people don't like to hear them. Both parties do it, but both parties do it. And so, yeah, you have this very jury rigged system. And I always thought it was a shame that so many of those 2017 tax cuts were set to expire. But I knew exactly why Republicans had to do it because there was no way they were going to get to 60 votes because of how many Democrats That would involve it's a. It's a broken system. Nobody's figured out how to govern in this new era. That's why Democrats are talking about abolishing the filibuster. I don't think that would be a positive development. I think we would then just have violent switch swings back and forth and In governance, but, uh I sympathize. I empathize with you and the Democrats know they have to do this one key thing to get their stuff done. Uh, let's let's leave it there. I've been talking with Tim Carney, The Washington Examiner and David Danny. The American prospect. We will be back with Emma Ashford to talk about the U. S and Europe.

"That has less than 100. Workers exempt from this or because it's McDonald's They they, their workers have to be put under this mandate. I think that that you know, we've seen when the federal government tries to do something that is very diffuse, and they evolve it down to the state level or local level, like we see saw with rental assistance that there are very big challenges. In getting that done here. We have a mandate that the federal government is saying as part of OSHA. But, of course, OSHA isn't going to inspect every workplace to see if it's complying with it. They can. I think OSHA's budget allows them to visit one workplace every 100 years or something like that. So we're so we're relying on, uh, the employers to enforce this policy, and you're devolving this down. And employers are going to, frankly being a fairly difficult position. Judging whether or not they're they're being told the truth by their employees and just how they're going to adjust and manage the situation at all. Hi, David 11 thing you mentioned is the Biden administrations imperative to get a handle on this in part for economic reasons, Which is to say that you know, we've seen a slowdown in job creation. We've seen clear economic effects from the Delta wave. One thing that's interesting. Looking at it. State by state is that where the economy seems to be getting hardest is not where the case counselor actually highest. That if you look at, for example, data on who's going to restaurants, you're seeing the biggest Pullbacks in blue states that often have relatively low rates of outbreak. And so I guess I just wonder what that means for this as an economic policy. I guess that's still true that if you know if people in New York are reacting to an outbreak in Florida and Texas than getting a handle on the outbreak in Florida and Texas Should improve the economy in New York. Um you also we have the significant risk that there's going to be a winter wave that might be focused more in the north in some of those states that are more more politically to the left. But I just think that's I think it's interesting that sort of a double confidence issue that it's about the you have to. You have to improve the virus conditions in one part of the country in order to improve the economy in a different part of the country. Yeah, it's psychological. It's uh, there. It's hard, I guess for, uh, human nature that this associate the pandemic situation being bad in one part of the country with it being bad throughout the country, and people necessarily kind of cocoon. When they hear that the virus is going badly. This is just been something that's built up over the last year and a half. And as we've seen the virus, Wayne, you know, as we did in the late spring early summer, we did see that that put push back on the economy and and things getting better throughout the country. So I do think that there is a connection there. And, uh, you know, is this going to immediately lead to drops in, uh, in in the case rates and hospitalization rates? Well, the thing is that the delta Search probably has peaked, or at least in certain states that has piqued, um, like Florida. And, uh, you know, this might be sort of fortuitous timing for Biden in that. You might start seeing this naturally burn out at the time that this mandate is being imposed, and obviously that will create, you know more protection for individuals if it does lead to increased vaccine rates. But, uh, these things like just sort of go together. I can't help but note that we're sort of asking policy to help people overcome their irrational fears in the D C. Suburbs where I live positivity is about 3% of vaccination rates are up about 90% of eligible adults. Restaurants have never been a high source of spread. If you are afraid to go eat at a restaurant in a place like Montgomery County, Maryland, we're almost all of your neighbors are vaccinated and positivity is down at three. Percent. That's your own problem. I'm not sure federal policies should be geared at making those people more confident. I will. First of all, I don't think we know that restaurants were never a high sources spread. The data that we were seeing on that last year was always biased by which which contact tracing was actually possible. We didn't know where most of the cases came from cases that spread in the home are relatively easy to identify, and I think people miss read that data into saying You know that It wasn't happening in these places out in public, where you where you couldn't actually figure out who gave Covid to whom? But I I agree that conditions are broadly fairly good in the Northeast, including where you are in Maryland, and that the pullback is, you know, I I in my personal life have not been pulling back in the way that we have seen in these data. Um, but I do think that it does matter how members of the public react to events because that has real world effects, even if the even if you think that the source of their initial reaction Is rational. I would also note that in addition to this economic contagion, you have actual virus contagion that occurs across state lines. And so I sort of want to wrap around where we were at the beginning. 10, which why is this an overreach of the federal government? Isn't this a national concern when you have these waves Because they spread from state to state? Why wouldn't necessarily rests with states? To make the decisions about whether people should have to get vaccinated rather than with the federal government. It is simply the default in the way the United States is set up that issues are Local and state issues. Issues are left to the states unless they're explicitly delegated to the federal government. And that is our starting point. That is not the starting point of. I think the average American psyche that's not the starting point of our media discussions about and it's certainly not the starting point of the Biden administration, I think, but if you look this is the way we handle it is on a state by state basis, in part as a sort of laboratory of democracy, sort of thing to see which which methods which means work. In part because different people in different places have different risk thresholds. I knew what I was getting into when I moved into Maryland and particularly Montgomery County, Maryland, that they have very low tolerance of risk. And I knew what I was getting into when I visited northern Florida, where they have very low tolerance of masks, and so there we simply default to it being a state level. Now there is interstate commerce issues as well with the with the ocean rule that an employer who employs 100 people, but is entirely interest state. It seems to me less likely that the federal government has a authority over that. Is the does the virus transcend state borders? Yes, it also transcends national borders. But we don't let some super national super national body uh, make decisions about about that, either, So it's simply the way we default is two states handle issues unless the it's explicitly allowed to be a federal issue, and the federal workforce, of course, is a federal issue, and that's why Biden is allowed to do that. Let's take a break. I'll be back with Tim Carney of the Washington Examiner and Ai and David Dan of the American prospect to talk about the reconciliation package. You're listening to left, right and center. You're hearing from.

But I I agree that conditions are broadly fairly good in the Northeast, including where you are in Maryland, and that the pullback is, you know, I I in my personal life have not been pulling back in the way that we have seen in these data. Um, but I do think that it does matter how members of the public react to events because that has real world effects, even if the even if you think that the source of their initial reaction Is rational. I would also note that in addition to this economic contagion, you have actual virus contagion that occurs across state lines. And so I sort of want to wrap around where we were at the beginning, Tim, which why is this an overreach of the federal government? Isn't this a national concern when you have these waves Because they spread from state to state? Why would it necessarily rests with states? To make the decisions about whether people should have to get vaccinated rather than with the federal government. It is simply the default in the way the United States is set up that issues are Local and state issues. Issues are left to the states unless they're explicitly delegated to the federal government. And that is our starting point. That is not the starting point of. I think the average American psyche that's not the starting point of our media discussions about and it's certainly not the starting point of the Biden administration, I think, but if you look this is the way we handle it is on a state by state basis, in part as a sort of laboratory of democracy, sort of thing to see which which methods which means work. In part because different people in different places have different risk thresholds. I knew what I was getting into when I moved into Maryland and particularly Montgomery County, Maryland, that they have very low tolerance of risk. And I knew what I was getting into when I visited northern Florida, where they have very low tolerance of masks, and so there we simply default to it being a state level. Now there is interstate commerce issues as well with the with the ocean rule that an employer who employs 100 people, but is entirely interest state. It seems to me less likely that the federal government has a authority over that. Is the does the virus transcend state borders? Yes, it also transcends national borders. But we don't let some super national super national body uh, make decisions about about that, either, So it's simply the way we default is two states handle issues unless the it's explicitly allowed to be a federal issue, and the federal workforce, of course, is a federal issue, and that's why Biden is allowed to do that. Let's take a break. I'll be back with Tim Carney of the Washington Examiner and Ai and David Dan of the American prospect to talk about the reconciliation package.

Since march of twenty twenty broadway has been shut roadway. Starting to reopen last night. I went to the walter kerr theatre on forty eighth street. And so haiti's town was the first broadway show is actually two productions that opened last night haiti's town and waitress too big hit musicals on broadway theater geek that i am. I'm gonna see waitress this weekend before. Heading back to florida and it was a glorious feeling to be back in the theater again to be with a bunch of people who appreciate theater and it was a little bit different mask sir required in the theater you had to show your proof of vaccination at the door which incidentally is total performance. It's it's completely performance. Art all they need to do is see what looks like a vaccination card on your phone. And they're letting. In you think a broadway theater usher is going to be able to validate the authenticity of your vacs card. Come on you know anybody could show a picture of vacs card and say there's my accent. Okay go on and enjoy the show. It's really the honor system. But that's okay because the people in that theater made a decision to live their life and take a risk. There are people that would never go to a crowded theatre in this case of theater building. Nine thousand nine hundred twenty one your elbow to elbow with a couple of thousand people. There are people who would never ever right. Now choose to do that. And that's okay but for those of us who did that ought to be okay to that'll be okay too.

Yes hundreds so it's literally anyone saying it's absolutely including people who do not live in texas. Do not have any connection whatsoever to the abortion or show any injury from the abortion consumer anyone from the doctors performing the clinic staff counselors anyone who pays for the procedure part of the procedure. The uber driver. Who took you to the clinic. Yes someone who paid for your hotel while you're getting an abortion or even looked after your kids while you were getting an abortion can be sued and anyone who sues mark. This is what you heard about anyone who sues right so it could be some rando which will happen. This is gonna happen all that the courts are going to be clogged with this shit. People who are passionate about this subject can file a lawsuit having if they just heard something or or the boyfriend. Can sue You know once. He convinces his girlfriend to go get an abortion and make some money off that abortion he could get ten thousand dollars off and get the kid out of her. Anyone who sues and wins is entitled to ten thousand dollars and for their legal fees to be covered if they win right. So that's great. Let's let's flood the with abortion snitch. Cases that's here's what's worse. Defendants who are sued and win are not entitled to have their Their legal fees cover to the plaintiff does not have to so you can just. I'm glad i'm not a teenage girl in texas right and again we talked about. How fucked up. The american legal system is people are going to be getting sued hauled into court and it's going to bankrupt the people because that's what our legal system does. Unfortunately people are going to kill each other over. This can no. Let's move on. Those are the facts something around this subject but a lot more fun. And that's a jeffrey toobin. You guys remember to the tumen. Yeah big time. Let's what did he do it again. No he didn't do it again. He's trending tom Hashtag jeffrey toobin was running for two reasons. That i can make out. So the main reason were the genesis of both reasons. He made appearances most of the day Yesterday on cnn to offer legal analysis on the texas ban abortion is c. n. n.'s legal analysts. That makes sense. No half of the twitter comments were mad because they're anti masturbation. I think saying things. Like at josh. Joshua gail seventy five said dear at cnn. Having jeffrey toobin on is an instant channel change for me. I follow plenty of lawyers that haven't masturbated on zoom meeting in front of women. If you would like a recommendation hit me up. Yeah tube unskilled about seven trillion kids in his hands and right in the hands right. Burned them pretty bad there. Josh tweet got three hundred and twenty re tweets twenty-three court tweets and seventeen fifty-seven. Likes major feel pretty good. You know how that feels when you get a good tweet. A bit of a barn burner but guys and josh most specifically toobin didn't mean to masturbate in front of women. That was a mistake. Okay could have happened any of us. He did however do the thing that was the other slash main reason. He was trending which is get his buddies daughter pregnant and then offer her money to have an abortion and her to promise her that he would pay her later to have a child via sperm donor. She said no had the baby and tube and then refused the dna test then after he got one. The judge ordered him to pay child support which he refused to pay in full allegedly. So that did happen. Because i watched most the tube coverage and i can't really say he did anything other than give legal analysis honestly. It's not like sharon his personal opinion abortion. He wasn't he doesn't just masturbate all the time on camera right yet. He trusts me. He wishes this didn't happen. The masturbation things so let's not get on him about that but you know people were also getting on him. Because he has a history of abortion i guess. He's got abortion in his history So maybe that's why people were mad. Essentially saying things like how ironic it was that he was talking about abortion on twitter. Like this. this next comment. Sorry this next. Enraged the the christian the christian crowd but if com similar to if you're dick is in the cloud by two thousand twenty one year nerd if you at least have had your partner have a plan b. pill at at your both of your like once you talked about your inert essner fucking pregnancy scare your fucking pussy utah. Margaret chewing pregnancy scares fifteen. All all denver stressful dodging dodging pregnancy. Scares off the on. We've been together since then as crew so it was very stressful for the whole crew back. Then but no guys you know the tweets like this came to been related to the abortion thing like This one from washington examiner columnist. Tim carney so tim he quote tweeted tube and saying jeffrey toobin is fitting face of the abortion movement. Okay i guess people again are bringing up the past that. He asked him to get an abortion. That's not right or or this tweet. From at coolish breeze who says abortions would be pretty helpful for when you knock up a co workers daughter right jeff. It's exactly what they're yeah. That's very helpful. That was born tweet as well so they both quote tweeted the same tube and tweet. What was that. This was the tubing tweet midnight in austin for the first time since. Nineteen seventy-three state has banned abortion. The great conservative legal project has succeeded. Rip hashtag roe v. wade. Yeah i mean i get not liking someone. You can't knock the guy for not being clear and consistent. He said rip roe v. Wade r.i.p about someone you don't like now. Toobin loves abortion. We know that all these people were like saying it was ironic. But he wasn't saying that he look all of a sudden loves the board. You know we know he's always loved it huge abortion. Say his life. Look who's consistently say career people understand what irony. She had the baby though. Ironic to talk about abortion You know he's morning it because he loves it.

Actually but he's cracking bottle of one. Nonetheless is definitely definitely whistle. And he's talking about the new wave of spanish winemakers and and how dynamic in general the wine industry is in spain. That's kind of. It's kind of in contrast to a lot of people's image of when they think of one particular places like france and spain. They think of these ancient traditions and ancient rules in some cases i actually i was really shocked to discover the abbey better than only been Was any do classification since one thousand nine hundred eighty two.

When you go on that tends to be a blend of two vintages and wonder releases into the market for five hundred euros a bottle on release so he wanted to make a moody vintage wine those accessible to everybody so i think it's a little bit a guy's never told me about. I think it's a little bit Trying to play on on that sort of thing. I think it's well suited for us in terms of the know we want to do introduce white into the frame Just because i think the british sending british perception is the reoccur is always a red wine.

Actually this particular style of rica. they want something as a fairly full bodied white wine but still want something. That has a little bit of freshness and he's depth to it which oscar said. He doesn't struggle with it. So he's he's white wines as well he already right. He's read as well. But the reality is i think comparatively this is where he really sales so in a what real had chaps. What would you typically get someone who's never had a wire before. Well they are the sort of the seventy two different styles as the freshman laden style that is generally recognized for no other reason but a slightly kind of price point. generally hasn't hasn't been barrel aged so the the actual production processes a lot cheaper. But they sort when you step into the area of surveyor off because you stood really started to develop tertiary fly is almost almost or was textual craziness there just little bit full of flavor either depending on the blend like some we'll have now says we'll have Temporary blanco shot night as angus signed. It just gives the one to consider considerable more depth and it makes it a more serious food wine then. The fresh account Which which is generally just a bit more for lack of better word but a more more easy drinking stall vicious this has far more complexity. I think is a far more serious.

I you know you and i chatted in the dmz other day about someone and it came up again yesterday. And you're not gonna go there. But i mentioned it and i was like fuck it man. I'm not gonna.

Some other people talked to fans on their especially without necessary folks in our specter. Thank you can do it got it. Got it every thanks no it. Is the cow coming to watch more film the other day and i didn't get the ball tim is just that he really took a strong stance in. No one's ever going to call him out on. It needed yeah. I mean he he was saying for a month it was going to be mack jones and then he because he kept saying he was the only only pro rated quarterback in the draft. When if you if you read other people's work we've done way more work than i did or anybody else. They had max jones fourth or fifth on their list. They didn't think he was ready at all. So i i don't know and clearly shannon didn't think so. Her would've went with him right. Yep yeah there was. Trust me if we're doing bad takes you can basically have the whole forty niners press corps pretty much. They are all lined up for mac. I mean let's be honest. I mean congratulates a week before. I figured it out. Well this is the weird thing though. Grant. we're going off topic but you gotta give me a few seconds here. I feel like those of us. Not in the press corps jason levin me havi none of us said it was going to be mac. We might have been wrong on fields but none of us said it was going to be mac and i feel like the press corps except for you said mack jones jones mac people with sources. Thank god. I don't have any of those hobby. Can you explain to me. It seems to me that there was some source misleading. Very high level people here. Yeah and i don't even think there was any type of source. Even saying i think they all went with sims and all of christmas but i think everyone attached themselves to what simpson and said. Hey let's run with this but in all actuality if we actually pay attention to call shanahan and his press conferences. The last two seasons three seasons. I posted two or three videos last couple of days of cows speaking specifically about the athlete playing quarterback and its desire to play eleven on eleven football. You know i was wrong on fields mind formation said hey the niners are trying to trade up to three. I even put the screenshot on twitter. So people can lead me the hell alone like i got that early february. The niners were talking to the dolphins. That was a conversation and that came from someone who was kind of close to that fields camp and they automatically kinda were. My information came for with fields. But every i think everyone else kind of attach themselves to. Chris simms ran with it Even i think i wanna see. Is greg cosell did a couple of podcast on kmby are did one with a couple of other people That he just kept insinuating. Mac guy mac was a pick and I think the biggest one was at final press conference right before the draft and everyone was like he's so divisive and he's so irritated. Kyle that carl that is it's like maybe he's just tired of you guys. Pigeonholing him to kirk cousins mold when he can with pretty well with any quarterback but he's looking finishing athlete. Yeah nick mon- cj beathard put those. I think everyone kind of i think the best echo chamber. He's like who might have stop it. Why would i stop it if they the taken Matt johnston you think jed york were left the press conference early. What do you think.

"I think we have to stop having it be slightly politicized and i'm not blaming biden or anybody but it if we look at. Who's still kind of resisting. It is white trump voters basically and part of that is that they see this as some national campaign by the cdc. But if you show up to your doctor and he says okay we're gonna do your prostate exam and before that i can just give you a vaccine against cove. I think they're much more likely to say yes. I think going from these sort of big events where people are posing for fees has so much sort of emotional benefit and exhilaration for your average. You know liberal in park slope over or or Washington dc if you go to your doctor can just give you a covert shot an f. Guess what it's free. I think that you will slowly start climbing up higher numbers it's not gonna be rapid and then there's also just some people who haven't been reached who don't realize how easy it is and that you are seeing some people starting get creative here in dc. Muriel bowser setting up With with free beer at the ballpark people doing it. You can do it outside of metro. I think you'll see a lot of local leaders get creative and make it even easier. So i bet we'll get a slow trickle up For higher numbers another announcement. We've gotten any. Cvs that is administering vaccines now. You can show up without an appointment and get a vaccine. There are a number of the other National retailers who are engaged in this like walmart are moving in that direction at the urging of the of the biden administration. And so. I think. I think what what tim identifies there about the politicization and the strong resistance. You're seeing among certain republican voters. I think that's real. But i think people really liked to talk about it because people are interested in politics are interested in the political a gloss on what's going on with vaccination but i think a lot of it is also what tim has identifying they're the basically a lot of people just haven't gotten around to it haven't focused on it and making it super easy making it so that when you are at. Cvs picking up milk. You can just get a vaccine also making it so that your doctor has it in the office and can just give it to you. Ideally i mean. Unfortunately this is one of the things that the j. and j. shot is so good for because it's one dose and you can just do it and it's over with. I think that some people are more reluctant to get j. and j. than they were a few weeks ago because of the pause but i think i think that is a key thing but i mean part of the problem is if you're waiting for people to show up their doctor a lot of people. Don't go to the doctor that often. So if you're talking about someone who only goes once a year and maybe they're not going to be in their doctor's office until march or something. Ideally we'd like to reach them sooner than march. Yeah i find it really sad that people think that just because you take a picture of yourself. Taking the vaccine is somehow proof that you're from park slope or some flaming liberal tell that to elvis presley. We got a picture of himself taking the polio vaccine when he was in the army back day and i wish it was just white male republicans who were against the vaccine or the nice way now saying is vaccine hesitant no in southern california. There was the la times we publish a story about how the lowest rates among vaccinations nowadays as young latinos and young blacks. And i'm not going to speak about the black experience of course. But i can't speak about the latino experience and a lot of those people are young people who think they are immortal and they have been told by their older siblings or older cousins. Take the vaccine. No i don't needed. Oh you know. I'm gonna live forever. No i don't need to wear a mask that's for you know For wusses or whatnot. I've said this before. A couple of episodes again. They are pantyhose. How do you reach out to them. Privately talked them with care and love but publicly as someone. Who has this platform. I call you up monday. Hose portmanteau of a pandemic and panetta. Which is stupid. call it what. It is stupidity. I don't think vaccine hesitancy is just a polite term or a politically correct term. I think the reason we use that term is not everyone who hasn't gotten a vaccine yet and isn't rushing out to get when they're not all naomi wolf spouting conspiracy theories about microchips and that sort of thing. There's a lot of people who are really hesitant. Is is the correct description of them. They're not sure how they feel about it. Maybe even if they're willing to get the vaccine they're not so motivated that they were going to be refreshing websites over and over the the way that people were doing back in march when it was so hard to get an appointment for people who truly are not really anti vaccine. But just you know sort of like you know. Vacs vacs questioning or that sort of thing. Those are the sort of people that distribution through the doctor's offices distribution that's very easy through retail channels. Those are the people you can reach with that because you only need to get them to make an impulsive decision once that they're going to go ahead and get the vaccine so so so if you have lots of opportunities where there's a sign right there in the cvs store and it's like. Oh i can just go get the vaccine in five minutes right now A lot of them can be reached without you know the the very difficult work of selling the smaller fraction of the population. That really thinks the vaccines are bad. I mean convincing them to get. It is hard but people who are just sort of those people. I think should be a lot easier to sell. And i think that's a big part of the the next step that that government says as tim notes at all levels are working on right now. The only logical answer i have heard from vaccine. Hesitancy is i. Don't wanna miss a day of work because you know a lot of people this the following day feel under the weather other than that. What is there we have a pandemic that has a society the more vaccines you get the closer we could get to some sense of normal. What is the question at hand. Come on folks nelson pantyhose.

Leadership appear to be numbered the conservative wyoming congresswoman has been outspoken about her disapproval of donald trump and her anger about his lies about the two thousand twenty election. That inspired a violent mob to storm. The capitol building on january. Sixth her commentary has been decidedly inconvenient for gop that either wants to glum onto or politely. Ignore the former presidents conspiracy theories and retain the support voters who on average. Say they believe them. Trump has endorsed new york congressman at least stefanik. Who is campaigning. to succeed. Cheney in leadership stefanik has had something of ninety logical makeover from northeastern moderate to a big time trump booster as a rural district itself has shifted from swinging. Too trumpy. tim. There are two different ways. I think you could describe the role that cheney has been playing in the republican party of the last few months. The obvious defensive her. Is that everything she says is true. And the trump was telling. Dangerous lies the complaint i hear from republicans doesn't even exactly contest that what what they say rather is that she seems to be more interested in fighting with republicans than fighting with democrats and their.

"Wearing a fancy hat this weekend, then an 8 35 weeks chat with Tim Carney from The Washington Examiner. He says the pandemic is over. Thank goodness. We'll talk about that. Tim. I'm Vince Collins alongside the great Beverly Hallberg from the district Media group in the Independent Women's Forum. Joining us all morning. Good morning, Beverly. Good morning, Beverly. You know, you and I are in a unique position. Totally unique position. Millions of people have had this happen to them, but we've both had covert cracked. We've both had Cove it and One of the interesting things about having had covered is that no one wants to tell us what kind of immunity that confers upon us. When I say no. One. I'm talking about government officials. The CDC There is zero conversation. About natural immunity and in the role that it plays and protecting you against further infection, reinfection or infection from any of the variance. The only conversation anyone's allowed to have is the one around vaccines. Get the vaccine or elsewhere. Your mask dummy. That's basically the Joe Biden approach to the pandemic as a as of last week Thursday, that's the now the Biden administration approach the pandemic get vaccinated or where the mask dummy. Why has the CDC completely failed to give any guidance whatsoever? What you are permitted to do if you are infected with covert and recover. My guess is they can't control it. And we don't even know that the of course the accurate number of people who got covert because we some people don't even know they had it. But I believe they theft estimates are that roughly 100 million people have contracted it. In close to that and recovered. So when you add to that those who've been vaccinated those who got covert and recovered. We talk about herd immunity. I think this is a large reason why we're seeing numbers going down yet. My president Joe Biden is telling me that everywhere I go. I must wear a mask. Even if I don't think I have a need to be vaccinated because I believe I have better anti bodies from having co bit and recovered And don't think I should be vaccinated Because of that. I know. I know people are going to harass me first. Means, though, but in my opinion, this is where we should be looking to the science even more and providing some information. People like ourselves who did get Cove it, right. Yeah, Precisely. I just would be nice to have some information, you know, but they're not interested in that They're interested in giving authoritarian dictates and decrees. And then why didn't you know? Okay, Now you can live your life in this way or you can't live your life this way. That's not the way the science is supposed to go. There's supposed to be forthcoming with what they know. And that's of course, been one of the biggest problems throughout the pandemic. Is this resistance to speaking honestly and treating Americans like adults? They don't do that. That s so we got one big. We've got a giant example of that over the course of the last year And now you have a real clear image of what your government thinks of you. You are to be patronized to. You were not to be talked to like an adult. You are not allowed to have these. You know, kind of intricate conversations, nuance. No, no, We can't do any of that now. Interestingly, the numbers are actually looking are improving dramatically when it comes to Cove in nationwide, And this is thanks again in no small part to the vaccines and their record speed development. And you've got to imagine. Although the CDC is loath to admit it, the people who've also been naturally infected who are now protected to some extent, whatever that extent is against. Being re infected or being infected with the variance has gotten so. The pictures got so improved in the United States that I just noticed this Remember the number the data around the phrase excess mortality. Yes. There's a category of death counting that occurs called Excess mortality. And what it really means is in an average year, we would expect this number of people to die. At this time. Just of any cause of any cause whatsoever, and so Beverly, you mentioned a moment ago. You know, a little hard to tell who exactly has had covert how many people have been infected. And that's just true. It is hard to assess the overall numbers because not everybody got tested. Some people who were tested the same person took two different tests during the course of their illness, So they got counted twice, you know? These air There's there's a lot of noise in the data. When you want to track how many people are dying, one of the useful ways to say, OK, something different going on here is the look at excess mortality. How many more people are dying than usual And during the pandemic, the two biggest peaks were In April of last year, April 2020 express mortality reached 45%. In other words, deaths in the United States and April on April 12th of 2020 were 45% higher than they would expect in a given year. It was bad that was really bad and a clear sign that the pandemic was raging January 3rd of this year 49% higher. The bad number excess mortality. April 4th. So the beginning of last month. The data show that we have now moved into negative territory. Marked on access mortality. In other words, fewer people are now dying in the United States, then would be expected to die on average in any given year. I'm not just talking about the pandemic raging. I'm talking about for any reason at all. We have gone into negative territory now. People are not dying. Of a lot of.

"And way he goes about making russia. Great again is nostalgia. Housing how good. The soviet union was running at some weird distant point in the past that i don't know where he's pointing to let like what era of the soviet union is. He saying was the halcyon days. What was good for a successful. Kgb agent do all the russians love the venezuelan assignment. Are you kidding me. That was awesome south american assignments. The russians are england for those no winter. Hell yeah all about that. I was raised to always be like anti russian way before all this stuff. I have a great uncle who was a spy russia. He was just like a professor kind of person would literally did nothing exciting. He read stuff but he works. Cia for forty years or something. Like that. I think our president is just a stupid person. I think you just a really stupid person. So i don't know how much dirt it is. I don't know. I think he does have debt. It russian bank. You get right into it. So let's talk about monday. Let so yeah about cavenaugh here in a second. Let's talk about what the fuck happened on monday. I love that press conference to me. It's one hundred percent clear that whatever it is that vladimir putin has over trump it's substantial or at bare minimum. It's impossible to think that trump doesn't think that vladimir putin has the upper hand on him. So whether it is i don't think he can just be simply explained away as like a dumb obsession with dictators. Tim carney and brad stevens as we tape today on friday friday july twentieth on morning. Joe tim carney and brad stevens kinda a little bit of a conservative on conservative about whether trump is corrupt or just stupid or like obsessed with strongmen and tim. Carney made a very very strong defense for this. Is just trump responding to strongman authoritarian duty and all of that but clearly something is going on with putin specifically the way. He's talked about putin for years. Now is different. He wanted me putin in twenty thirteen. He's got that. Putin is a smart guy. He's always brought up. How barack obama has been getting his lunch eaten by vladimir putin which we think was a dig on barack obama and sort of is but more importantly was about elevating vladimir putin to the same status as the united states president which has now been continued with donald trump taking the knee before vladimir putin. Yeah so if he ate his lunch than what is he. Eating of trump's like you know what i mean. It's like breakfast lunch and dinner and like another four course meal and barbecue on saturday. And there's an argument against obama i. I'm a federal bomb but like on the pho- post side especially with russia. It appears yeah but everyone makes like you know what i mean like. No no no no. There's a big difference between making mistakes. Like for example in syria trusting that the russians were going to get the syrian yet. And your weapons the chemical weapons out. That was fucking ridiculous in hindsight or the russian reset button. Gimmick like that was ridiculous but those are honest mistakes would trump is doing is different. This is sabotage. Yeah that's why. That's why i don't know how quickly it will be. But that's why i'm saying like nato's gone. Yeah he's i think he's trying to sabotage nato. Yeah i think that that's what's going on. I think he was trying to. Sabotage theresa may and create further instability in the united kingdom system. I think it's very clear that donald trump is not just a chaotic man. He is an agent of chaos..

"Reached that time once again for famed left right and center rants featuring pet peeves from across the political spectrum. David day it's your soapbox or present biden talked with chinese president xi jinping for two hours this week That's deserved level of emphasis as biden. Going to have to figure out where to challenge. China wear to collaborate the dangers of ignoring the Mercantilist thread can be seen in the bottom lines of us auto companies this week. Several of whom have had to suspend production and give up billions of dollars because they can't find any semiconductors to put in their cars as much as seventy percent of the world's chips come from taiwan and any disruption or miscalculation of demand which is what we saw after the pandemic can lead to shortages taiwan of course as a fraught relationship with china which is building its own ship factories through massive tax incentive program. We're about a decade behind china and self sufficiency on the chip front and are deep reliance on foreign supply. Chains is also present in the exact active ingredients for prescription drugs and medical supplies. Astounding a number of items supplying our military in the absence of a us. Industrial policy. Multinational corporations have imposed one that abandons american workers and builds fragility and even risk into the system. You can't build back better without having the materials to build tim. Carney was around so a lot of policy. Analysts it turns out are really worried that america's mothers might soon be insufficiently dedicated to the workplace. The heritage foundation had a piece recently. Criticizing a fifteen dollars an hour minimum wage but one of their arguments against this higher. Minimum wage was could result in more married couples choosing to have mom or dad. Stay home and raise the kids and likewise. Some economists left right and center objected to mitt. Romney's proposed child allowance on the grounds that it could lead to more parents deciding to exit the workforce. The i'm not sure why this is a bad thing. Don't get me wrong. Dropping out of the labor force is often part of a downward spiral that includes depression isolation alcohol abuse alienating and this is especially true among men but among married parents who currently have two incomes if one drops out of the labor force it typically isn't about despondency but about diapers. It doesn't lead today drinking but to play dates. This is a good thing. America needs more. Stay at home moms and stay at home dads now this might sound odd during a pandemic when most of us are stuck at home but talking about the long term and before the pandemic millions of american mothers told researchers that they wished they worked outside the home. Less either wanting to shift from full time to part time employment or from paid employment to full-time parenting so if you want women to have what they want you wanna make it easier for them to stay home. It's good for parents. It's good for children and it's good for communities for my rant former. Fda director scott gottlieb warns that just a few weeks. We're going to have a problem that we'd be pretty happy to have right now more supply vaccines than there is demand to take them when we get to that point. We're going to have to convince hesitant people to get the shots. In order to best suppress the spread of the virus. There's more good news surveys. Show that willing.

"The last year It is the fed chairman that donald trump picks Who has presided over this. Dovish shift in monetary policy. And who is making those comments david notes about the the need for this continued fiscal support. And then obviously you had the cares act and the big fiscal intervention that started under president. Trump saying you know this is an enormous crisis and we just need to throw a ton of money at it And then you look at the public opinion polling And the biden proposal for another nearly two trillion dollar relief package polling very strongly you know in the in the mid to high sixties according to a quinnipiac poll checks to almost every american for fourteen hundred dollars. That's polling over seventy percent so if we get to a position where this relief package gets done through. The budget reconciliation process on close to a party. Line vote with very little Republican support our republicans getting dangerously out of step with the public there. I mean this. This doesn't feel like obamacare. This isn't something where you use a party. Line vote to push through a very controversial measure. This is where you use a party. Line vote to push through a very popular measure and if the economy continues to grow strongly like it looks like it's going to in two thousand twenty one. Shouldn't republicans be worried that they oppose the thing that was popular at the time that it was done and the worked spending lots of money has always been popular and that was kind of of skewered in In republican circles and democratic circles because elites of both parties disliked it. Whether it's budget hawks. Like paul ryan on the right or you know The the simpson bowles types in the in the center and the left And look at who the most popular governors have been for. The last year's it's republican governors. Like larry hogan and charlie baker who liked to spend tons of money and that donald trump part of the way he won was by shedding the sort of over the worry. About overspending that was part of a fiscal conservatism and so in the pandemic became kind of particularly obvious in addition to the politics that the worry hope is that when the right criticizes federal spending moves from just sort of deficit worrying overspending worrying kind of the way we would his tisco Are sibling. who's who's running up. A credit card bill to being are they. Are they crowding out. Are they wasting money. Are there rewarding. They're cronies these can be the problems. Giving money to bars are forced to shut down. That's not crowding out anything right. And that's not and if it's going out to everybody like the fourteen hundred dollar checks that doesn't seem like just rewarding political friends so i would hope that conservatives would instead of just saying this spends too much would look for and try to attack biden for where his spending is clearly just an ideological thing or trying to reward friends like public sector unions etc but that would be pretty nimble shift i don't necessarily expect from From the republicans in the short term. Let's take a break. I'll be back with tim. Carney of the washington. Examiner and david dan of the american prospect to talk about the opening schools. You're listening to left right and center.

"Best of mornings on the mall person. Mary wants her husband's colonies. Good morning. That's audio gathered during ahead of it Sounds like the chaos yesterday at the United States Capitol building. Tim Kearney was the one who rolled on that audio. He's a senior political columnist of The Washington Examiner, also a resident fellow at the American Enterprise Institute, author of Alien Native America. Why some places thrive while others collapse And he was, of course on the ground. As I said yesterday, Tim Good morning. Thank you for joining us today. Morning, Vince. Morning, Mary. What brought you to the Capitol Building? And if you could describe how events transpired as you were watching them? Yep. So I had attended some of the rally out by the White House. Um on and then eventually walked down with some of the attendees towards the capital. Uh, sort of not at the front end, but tail end of the march down there, And when I got there, I saw arrived there just as a group of protesters. Broke through a barricade, basically causing the police to retreat back towards the building and that Woz unbeknownst to me about when people have broken into the building, and we're going through Speaker Pelosi's office and that sort of thing. I did not have access inside the building. Um Andre, So I I went around the perimeter and saw the scenes of multiple doors where writers were trying to break through the door. But the Capitol police formed a phalanx on the other side of the door just tried to stop him physically. Windows being smashed and a cop at one point being pulled to the ground and surrounded by a mob. Very scary moment, man. You know, it seemed such like such a disconnect to me and it happened. It seemed pretty quickly I saw it was so interesting because you have the chaos and we're seeing video of what's happening. I at the Capitol and people inside the Capitol in the breaking of the windows, and then about a block away, there was a group of Trump supporters who have been at the rally. And they were talking to a reporter and said they were like we're not violent. We're not those people and they were still having like their little. Their little rally on day were still, you know, shouting, you know, America and USA and those types of things. It was a really, really weird disconnect. It was almost as if it was two distinct separate events that was happening. What was it like outside when all of this was going on? What was the reaction of people? There's a lot more gray area between the if you want to say black hats and white hats with the bad guys being the ones with guns drawn in the capital, and then the grandma sitting in chairs on the long, um there was definitely that in vast majority were You know, just there to cheer and that sort of thing. But it also struck me that so I'd be in a crowd of near the door, Same door that I go in like when I'm with my Senate press pass to go talk to Ah, Lawmaker staffer. Um, and the people closest to the door are dressed in these sort of paramilitary outfits waving the flag would trump as Rambo or whatever and but around them. There's just a bunch of other people. That's crowd that's younger than the average. Uh, Trump crowd, but Um, but there's still the same sort of people I would see at at a trump rally, which was always mix. So is mixed geography. Um, while mostly white, still diverse, ethnically etcetera. S O sort of The younger segment from a normal trump rally is what I would say. But also, you know, there were grandpas in, uh, in their Vietnam veterans hat. Not too far behind, cheering when advance was made, and it by an advance. I mean an assault on the Capitol police so that so that grandpa there who's having a good time He's never pushing a policeman or breaking a window. But they sort of There was this perception that the election was being stolen from them. And they were willing to cheer for breaking through police barricades, which is not sort of The law and order talk we heard from President Trump for four years ago. So what I would say the vast majority of these people were not their toe, smash her, threaten or even assault or push past police. But shocking and number were perfectly fine with it. That's that was one of the things that really struck me that the same people I would interview on the table. This is about the Constitution and limited government conservatism, moments later, would be cheering. When ah, barricade was smashed, you know. Meanwhile, that's him. Something we've heard from people who were on the ground was that that kind of like there was another. And I think it sounds like a big cohort. Maybe I'm wrong. You can tell me based on your experience of people who saw as this was going on. And once they realized that there was actually violence happening, who were bewildered by the fact that, like Wait a second. This is out of control. This is not what I signed up for. And it began this drift of the crowd, and it started spinning out as people were like I'm not here for this. I'm not here for that event you have the news got the news of what was going on in the capital got out slowly, like of my friends and family. I was the last one to know that there were people in the House and Senate chamber and that somebody had been shot because you didn't have cell phone signal on the mall. So I saw this scene that looked like it was out of Les Miz of people climbing walls and waving flags, which to me would seem like disorder. It was It involves breaking past the Capitol police, but it could have seen fun and games and then it trickles out that somebody has gone and broken into the speaker's office and somebody chopped and I did see people saying exactly what you just said. This is not what I signed up for. We came here to protest not to act like Antifa. And they're they're certainly Woz. Ah, good bit of shock people who thought it was gonna be speeches at the White House of March And then a protest at the Capitol learned that it turned into an insurrection and attempt to take over the U. S Capitol. Something very, very different, shocking images and all of our screens yesterday, Tim Carney. Thanks for giving us your firsthand account from what you saw. A lot more that this morning. Thank you.
