Should the Parthenon Marbles Be Returned to Greece?
"Number one for Eric. Do you believe the Parthenon marbles in the British Museum which Anna and I saw this in August should be returned to Greece? The Vatican are returning theirs, the answer is yes. You have to take these things in a case by case basis. But for people who don't understand what this is, when the Parthenon was built. This is one of the most magnificent. I mean, if you want to, it's kind of interesting. If you want to talk about how human beings don't change over the centuries. The idea that the ancient Greeks had the level of genius it took to create the Parthenon. If you've ever watched a documentary on it or read about it, it is absolutely astonishing. Absolutely. It really is, I won't go into it. But the crowning touch in a way literally was the sculptures on the pediment, they came to be known as the Elgin marbles. Now I actually write about this a little bit of my book as atheism dead. Because you can understand that 200 years ago agrees had fallen to the Turks, they really didn't have the ability to do anything about this. So when the British come in, they did this all over the, they did it all over the Middle East. They did it all over. You know, they were basically kind of like treasure seekers. And so they come to the Parthenon and they see these larger than life sculptures on the pediment and they think, hey, those would be nice to saw off and take home. There's no way I can do it justice in the time we have. But the point is they made a deal with the Turks, okay? Who were occupied? They were occupying Greece at the time. So it's like making a deal with the Nazis to steal Polish stuff, you know, while the Nazis are occupying Poland, like not right. So they took these marbles and again, I'm not doing it justice. These are some of the most magnificent sculptures in the history of the world. 25 centuries old. And they took them to the British Museum, where they are today. That has become a scandal. The world has changed Athens built a museum before they hosted the Olympics in Athens to house the marbles. They are now in a position to take care of them in a way that they hadn't been, so that's the shortest answer I can give.

Appeals court blocks vaccine mandate for US gov't workers
"And appeals court has blocked a vaccine mandate for U.S. government workers, I'm Lisa dwyer. A federal appeals court has blocked president Joe Biden's order that federal employees get vaccinated against COVID-19. The 5th U.S. circuit Court of Appeals rejected arguments that Biden as the nation's chief executive has the same authority as the CEO of a private corporation to require the employees be vaccinated, opponents of the policy said it was an encroachment of federal workers lives that neither the constitution nor federal statutes authorize Biden issued the executive order in September 2021. The White House said at one point that 98% of federal workers were vaccinated. U.S. district judge Jeffrey Brown appointed by then president Donald Trump issued a nationwide injunction against the requirement back in January 2022. I'm Lisa dwyer

Raz0rfist Unpacks What We're Witnessing in America Right Now
"Are we witnessing in America right now? Because it's really weird for me, raise a fish that I come to this nation as an immigrant who's been naturalized. He's worked in The White House, who was born and raised in the mother of democracies, the home of the Magna Carta, but whose parents escaped a communist regime whose father was actually liberated by freedom fighters from a political prison. And I'm at a point where I have to admit things like America has political prisoners. You know, I've had the family members of the January 6th who have been imprisoned for two years without an arraignment. And I look at the idea that a man who's not only a former president who to use a British term is the current leader of the opposition, is about to be arrested on a trumped up charge that even if it were true would be a misdemeanor slap on the wrist and a fine. Am I overstating the case? Or are we at risk of losing the republic to those who think that the mechanisms of the state are there for political targeting of their adversaries? It's true. And I think it's a fundamental, it's an inversion of the philosophy upon which the country was founded. The reason I made that Abraham Lincoln video wasn't because I harbor any kind of grudge against Abraham Lincoln. It was because Abraham Lincoln is one of the fathers of a belief that the government is ruling from the top down and lording over the states and that the states, in fact, Lincoln literally argued this, the states were created by the union. Historically, that's absurd. When England finally surrendered, they acknowledged each individual state by name as sovereign separate nations, right? And then they formed a union later on. This is really sort of sadly. It's interesting you bring that up. It's apropos to the point. Biden is a believer in this as well. And many of his followers, unfortunately, are this believe that ultimately the government, the federal government, is what gives us our rights.

Rioter charged in Pelosi laptop theft sentenced to prison
"Pennsylvania woman linked to a far right extremist movement was sentenced to three years in prison for storming the capitol on the day of the 2021 riot. Riley Williams was charged, but not convicted of helping steal a laptop from then House speaker Nancy Pelosi's office suite. She bragged online of stealing Pelosi's gavel, the 23 year old was convicted of 6 charges, including a felony count of civil disorder, prosecutors say everywhere Williams went, she acted as an accelerant, exacerbating the mayhem, where others turned back, she pushed forward. Prosecutors also say Williams was obsessed with Internet personality Nick Fuentes, and his white nationalist griper movement, who amplified the claim the 2020 election was stolen from Donald Trump.

Tara Reade Reacts to Ashley Biden's Alleged Diary Entry
"We are back with Tara Reade. Tara, I wanted to get your reaction to this. This is a diary entry from Ashley Biden. The diary has been confirmed as real and authentic and one of her entries says this. It just says hyper sexualized at a young age. What is this due to? Was I molested? I think so. I can't remember specifics, but I do remember trauma. I remember not liking the wool Zack's house. I remember somewhat being sexualized with Caroline. I remember having sex with friends at a young age, showers with my dad probably not appropriate. What's your reaction to seeing something like that? Yeah, I mean, that's a deeply personal diary entry. So my heart goes out to whoever wrote that. I mean, and obviously they've verified that it's Ashley Biden. I think it's deeply disturbing. I mean, I don't know how anyone could not read that and think that's not deeply disturbing. Yeah. Yeah, it's tragic because for a long time the left tried to discredit the diary pretend it wasn't real. It's kind of like what they did with Hunter Biden trying to discredit the laptop and all of this as opposed to seeing this is a person in such deep pain. I mean, I feel horrible for Ashley Biden having to go through this. That's so sad she mentioned even with her sister. And then you think of hunter. I mean, he's, of course, guilty of crimes, but he's also a disturbed person. Dad wasn't there for him. There was a lot of personal information on the laptop. He struggles with drug addiction and things like that. And so it's really sad to see the left just kind of belittle it and act like, oh, it doesn't matter. It's not a big deal. We're just going to prop up Joe Biden as opposed to focusing on the whether it's sexual assault or mental health.

Bills Intended to Shame and Scare Transgender Students Are Despicable?
"Read to you from the Los Angeles Times whose editorial board seems to be composed largely or exclusively. Of fools. I have no other term for their latest editorial. It's called bills intended to shame and scare transgender students are despicable. It is remarkable the lying that is comes with such ease to all leftists. Not all liberals, not all conservatives, but all leftists. There is a bill to shame and scare transgender students. The bill, which, of course, has no chance, because there is only Democrats controlling the two houses of the California, legislature, and of course the governor is a Democrat. So there's no chance it could pass its symbolic to show those who care about children. The amount of damage that the Democrats are doing to children. But they pay no price, they were the ones who advocated closure of schools that has led to far lower abilities intellectually among children in all these states. And has led to severe depression at rates never seen before in American history, but they know they don't pay a price because, as I wrote 30 years ago, being on the left means never having to say you're sorry. Do they still think the lockdowns of schools were right, by the way, I think, as at LA teachers are on strike? Is that correct? Yes. In sympathy for other strikers. Teachers unions care about children. As much as I never can fill in the rest of the sentence,

Rep. Chris Stewart: Could Alvin Bragg Receive a House Subpoena?
"I would love to see Alvin Bragg brought before Congress brought before the House. And I think you should be forced to answer questions about this. And if he refuses, a subpoena? Well, we all know there is a penalty under law for that, and again, I think that you guys need to start playing hardball with these people. Yeah, I don't disagree with you at all. I sit on the new select committee on the weaponization of the federal government. Government. This is exactly what we're seeing Todd as we've already discussed. I mean, is there any question in anyone's mind that if this defendant was anyone other than Donald J Trump that they would not be pursuing this? And the literally thousands of other defendants in New York that are being let go, no bail, not prosecuted in any way for actual felonies, violence felonies, that actually endanger and harm people, those are all ignored, but we're going to go after this. Once again, if there's an example of the weaponization of the power of the government, this is a good example of that. And I agree with you. He needs to come in justify that and to be able to explain the American people if he can, well, this isn't political. This is an unbiased application of law. If he can make that case, then come and make it. And if you can make that case, and I think that the American people deserve to know that.

Monica Crowley: Interesting Turn of Events in NYC Trump Case
"I'm curious to know your take on what's happening right now in New York. Something is up. And I'm wondering if Trump in his brilliance was able to really thwart what could have been his arrest. It's a very, very interesting turn of events, isn't it? Because somebody obviously leaked late, I guess, Friday night. And by the way, I was at Mar-a-Lago on Friday night. I emceed the Republican organization's Lincoln day dinner for Palm Beach county in Florida. It was held up Mar-a-Lago. I was very honored to be the MC and very honored to introduce president Trump. And I was with him that night. I introduced him and gave me a big hug and a kiss and then gave a fantastic speech. He didn't rely anything, but obviously he had heard something by late Friday night and then of course we got the news later that night or the next morning. Look, somebody broadcasted this to the world. And all heck broke loose, right? As we saw now, it's becoming crystal clear according to all these leaks that even a Manhattan grand jury which has been impaneled now for years on this subject, years. And by the way, there's no original crime. There's no concealment of a crime. There's no secondary crime and it's way out of the statute of limitation. So there is literally nothing here. They've wasted New York taxpayer money in impeding this grand jury for years at a time on this thing. But now it looks like Alvin Bragg canceled the grand jury yesterday and today and it looks like they're having difficulty convincing even a panel of liberals who probably hate Donald Trump in New York that there has been a crime committed here and that they should hand up an indictment.

Monica Crowley: Fight 'Fire With Fire' Against the Left
"It just, it really bothers me that Republicans seem to think they're playing a lovely game of croquet in Connecticut. When in fact, this is a street fight for the country right now, the Democrats are never going to play fair. I say we get out into the gutter and slug it out with them. Fire with fire. And it's long past time that we did this Todd. You know, every time I come on your show, we do a little history lesson about the history of the left in this country. And the history of the international Marxist revolution, which has been going on since what? 1917. And what we are experiencing in this country is exactly that. But it didn't just originate over the last two years. This has been going on for decades. So for decades, we have been under this communist assault to fundamentally transform the nation and destroy us from within, as well as from without. We've got external enemies too. But the fact that we've got these internal enemies, you know, we've met the enemy and it's us. And the fact that the Republicans are still playing softball and the fact that they're still doing playing by gentlemen's rules, when we are fighting for the very future of this country, it's insane. And I've got no tolerance for, first of all, Republicans like McConnell and Romney and some of these others Murkowski that work with the other side to destroy the country. But even with others to sort of understand the nature of the internal threat, the fact that they are not stepping up quite yet to fight fire with fire is outrageous. And we are taking notes that we are taking receipts. Todd, we are keeping a list of names of who gets it, who is fighting tooth and nail for the future of this country, because we're at a real tipping point here. And if you don't get it, get out of the way. Yeah, and

The many misconceptions about a company from there chew was hammered by lawmakers on both sides. Your platform should be banned. Commerce committee chair Cathy McMorris Rogers said TikTok threatens American security due to the platform's Chinese parent company choose as TikTok has been trying to avoid a U.S. ban by announcing plans to protect American user data by storing it on Oracle servers. This eliminates the concern that some of you have shared with me that TikTok user data can be subject to Chinese law, TikTok is already banned on official devices here at The White House at The Pentagon in Congress and more than half the states, a complete ban, though, with risk both political and popular backlash with the ACLU among others, saying it would set a dangerous precedent for restricting speech, Sagar Meghani at The White House.

Moving it down the path to its confrontation and potential conflict with its neighbors and possibly the United States.

"Hi, Dodd. Love your show, man. I've got to agree with what Laura said. I think the people's people's tires that rhetoric that Trump's going out, and he spoke on the issues. That's what gets you elected. You know, I know what the issue is. He knows what the issues are. And his record, he's got a good record. He spoke on that and this leads the name cone, the child is the other thing but not Trump.

And it's really not anything bad. It's just old. And I think the nicknames at this point are just old. And I'm not sure they're all that effective, and I'm not sure you should be out there calling Ron DeSantis a pedophile or suggesting he is one unless you've got some concrete evidence, otherwise the Democrats are going to jump on that and perception becomes reality. I agree. Have you noticed how I always talk about Trump and the stuff in New York is taking the folks away from what they have on their money laundering and stuff of my own Biden.

How Alvin Bragg Has Received Funding From George Soros
"Bragg refuses to stop despite overwhelming evidence to the contrary. He is a Soros backed animal who just doesn't care about right or wrong no matter how many people are hurt, this is no legal system, this is the Gestapo. This is Russia and China. But worse disgraceful. Everybody knows I'm 100% innocent, including Bragg, but he doesn't care. He's just carrying out the plans of the radical left lunatics. Our country is being destroyed, as they tell us to be peaceful. So mediaite is taking that last line as they tell us to be peaceful as code for don't be peaceful. You see, you see the lunacy here. I mean, come on. But Trump does raise a point. By the way, talking about Soros. Want to explain, I got a text message from somebody yesterday. They said, stars, you need to explain to the peoples. How all of this works with Soros. Because Soros doesn't exist. George Soros did not go up to Alvin Bragg and just give him a check. They funnel this money. They launder this money through these organizations and that's how Bragg got a $1 million from George Soros. But it's not just George Soros, as a matter of fact, the children of George Soros are also giving money or have given money to the district attorney. And we're talking tens of thousands of dollars. That's what we're talking about here. So this is all a political hit job on Donald Trump.

Will Alvin Bragg Try to Arrest Donald Trump at All?
"Don't think this is going to happen that the district attorney Alvin Bragg in New York City is not going to arrest Donald John Trump. I think that he sees the writing on the wall here. Now, yesterday, a letter serviced. That seems to indicate that Donald Trump was not involved in the hush money payment to stormy Daniels. And this letter, it's pretty condemning. And this could be one of the reasons why the grand jury has not been meeting yesterday's proceedings were canceled. Today's proceedings canceled again. There's word that the district attorney may call the grand jury bank for, but not because of Donald Trump. As a matter of fact, the reporting of NBC News says that they may not even address the Trump issue until next Monday. But I think what's happened here is that team Trump has been pretty masterful at playing all of this out. They had heard the rumblings and they got out ahead of the story. But the reality here is that Michael Cohen, in this letter, it's pretty evident that he had everything to do with this and Donald Trump had nothing to do with the hush money payment made to one stormy Daniels.

Manhattan DA rejects GOP demand for info on Trump case
"The district attorney for Manhattan, New York has made clear. He will not be sharing documents surrounding the hush money investigation into Donald Trump with members of Congress. House Republicans had sought documents and testimony about the case. Calling the grand jury investigation into Donald Trump, quote, an unprecedented abuse of prosecutorial authority. In a letter obtained by The Associated Press, the general counsel for Manhattan district attorney Alvin Bragg slammed the congressional request as an unlawful incursion into New York's sovereignty, adding that Donald Trump's lawyers reportedly urged three House committee chairman to intervene after Trump created a false expectation. He was going to be arrested this week and says that is not a legitimate basis for a congressional inquiry. The 5 page response from Bragg's office marks a public acknowledgment, a grand jury is currently investigating Trump, although there appears to be a pause this week in his case. I'm Jackie Quinn

TikTok CEO faces off with Congress over security fears
"TikTok CEO appears on Capitol Hill today to face a grilling by U.S. lawmakers. Some politicians have started talking about banning TikTok.

We've made very clear our national security concerns about that particular application. That's why it's been banned on government devices.

What's Wrong With Gavin Newsom?
"Gavin Newsom is an absolute disaster when it comes to California. I was sitting there thinking, listen, Gavin Newsom is going to challenge Biden. He's going to be the guy most likely, you know, God forbid of Michelle Obama or somebody pops up on the scene, but I don't really foresee that leaving all of her income and all that kind of stuff behind. Is Gavin Newsom still looking towards The White House? It's really seems hard to fathom. Given how disastrous he is, but maybe people don't understand how disastrous this guy has been. I think they don't. And the press just completely plays along with it. And sadly, even our conservative press over the last month or so, I was basically screaming my head off about something happening here in California. We all know he took off to Mexico when we had these snowstorms about what God ignored was that there was this mountain community outside of Los Angeles, big bear Lake arrowhead area San Bernardino mountains, 21 days these people were snowed in under 12 feet of snow. They normally get maybe 6 feet in a winter. So they have some equipment, but not for 12 feet that fall within 7 days. And people were snowed in. Even when they got the main roads, plowed up there, but then within the communities they couldn't get around. I talked to people who were trying to do relief flights out there like helicopter flights of supplies because grocery stores roofs valid so they couldn't get the supplies from there. And the sheriff wouldn't let them land because it was a disaster zone and they weren't government helicopters, but the government wasn't doing anything. Why? Because San Bernardino county voted to study seceding from California and didn't forget it.

Have you ever thought of that? But either way, here he is getting interviewed by Tulsi and he's just so bad at the response to this. Oh my goodness, here it is. The thing is congressman elect integrity means yes, carrying yourself with honor, but it means it means telling the truth, being a person of integrity and if I were one of those in New York's third district right now, now that the election is over and I'm finding out all of these lies that you've told not just one little lie or one little embellishment. These are blatant lies, my question is, do you have no shame? Do you have no shame in the people who are now you are asking to trust you to go and be their voice for them, their families and their kids in Washington? Tulsi, I can say the same thing about the Democrats and the party. Looked at Joe Biden, Joe Biden has been lying to the American people for 40 years. He is a president of the United States. Democrats resoundly support him. Do they have no shame? This has made this very Democratic Party though. This is about your understanding. Frankly, with the people who've entrusted you to go and fight for them. And I think one of the questions that really probably hits home to a lot of people is, are you Jewish? We've got a letter that your campaign sent out earlier this year, which reads as follows as a proud American Jew, I've been to Israel numerous times for educational business and leisurely trips. You said there in that letter that you are, quote, a proud American Jew. How do you, how do you explain that? I heritage is Jewish. I've always identified as Jewish. I was raised a practicing Catholic. I think I've gone through this, even I'm not being raised to practicing Jew. I've always joked with friends and circles, even with in the campaign, I'd say, guys, I'm ju ish, remember I was raised Catholic. So look, I understand everybody wants to nitpick at me. I'm going to reassure this once and for all. I'm not a facade. I'm not a persona. I have an extensive career that I worked really hard to achieve. And I'm going to deliver from my experience, because I remain committed in delivering results for the American people. I campaigned on inflation. I campaigned on crime. I campaigned on education. I campaign on delivering resolve for the American people. That's what the people of the third congressional district heard me on and on as I campaign. Now it's going to be incumbent upon me to deliver on those results. And I look forward to service serving my district. I look forward to serving my district to make sure that they see that this is what the results that people are looking for are called into question when you tell blatant lies, not embellishments, and this is, I think, one of the biggest concerns congressman elect is that you don't really seem to be taking this seriously. Now, that being said, this is the thing. Some conservatives and people on the right and Republicans because they're different from conservative. They're like, well, it's just politics these days, okay? Ilhan Omar lies, Joe Biden lies Elizabeth Warren lied, XYZ, Hillary Clinton lied. They just heard our naming all these lies. And it's like, okay, I think we're getting a little confused here about what our goals are as a movement as a nation as a party. Can we just maybe say? That it would be nice. Even if the other side lied, even if everybody lies. Maybe it'd be nice to not have people in our changed movement in our movement to save the republic, right? Because I thought that's what we're doing. Are we in the culture wars or not? Are we in the culture wars or not? Should these people represent the culture war or what? It'd be nice if we could have some honest, well intentioned humans step up to the plate when the gosh darn primary and then when the general election and then we don't have to put ourselves in these positions. You know what I mean? Wouldn't that be nice, but instead some people are just saying, well, the left lies all the time. It's like, all right, well yeah, they allow the time and we have a problem with it. So maybe we should be able to say, hey, this guy is kind of ridiculous for just lying to get elected, and now we have to deal with him because he's a member of our party. What should we do? That being said, it did kick up a bunch of interesting videos and my dad was watching this. I wanted to show it to you guys. It's a compilation of a bunch of Joe Biden lies throughout his time. Now, I don't know if you know this, but Biden has run for president multiple times in the past. And I'm talking 19 88. Joe Biden ran for president. And what did Joe Biden have to do when he was first trying to run for president, you guys? He got busted for plagiarism. He got busted for stealing people's information and basically their speeches word for word. And he was so ashamed, and it was such a big moment of drama in our country because back then we held people accountable for doing this kind of stuff. Now it's just like, oh, well, they lie too. So why should why shouldn't we be able to lie? Either way, Joe Biden was put into such shame for being exposed for these lies that I'll show you in a second that he stepped out of the race. Okay? It was enough to pull a candidate out of the race. Nowadays are like, what? This is a conspiracy theory, and everybody lies, so I should be able to, too. Democratic presidential candidate, Joseph Biden, today faces a controversy, three weeks ago at a debate at the Iowa state fair, he used phrases, identical to those delivered by British Labor Party leader Neil kinnock. Biden seemed to be claiming kinex vision and life as his own. Why is it that my wife is sitting out there in the audience? Is the first in her family to ever go to college? It's the first woman in her family in a thousand generations to be able to get the university. My ancestors who worked in the coal mines in northeast Pennsylvania don't come up after 12 hours and play football. 8 hours underground, and then come up and play football. It's because they didn't have a platform upon which to stand. There was no platform upon which they could stand. The notion that every thought or notion or idea, you'd have to go back and find an attribute to someone, I think is quite frankly a ludicrous. The problem here is that senator Biden told his audience, he had just been thinking about these things, and he failed to give any credit at all to his famous British speechwriter. You know, I was thinking on the way over here. Now that's a little too much because as you point out, what's behind the words, what's there, and a lot of people are wrap on Biden has always been that it's just a surface. I should have said, to paraphrase Neil kinnock. It's the only time I didn't. In all the times I've used it. But CBS News found a tape of a second instance. In reappeared in The New York Times with a new charge that Biden had appropriated a famous litany from the late Robert Kennedy about what the gross national product can not measure. It can not measure the health of our children. The health of our children. The quality of our education, the quality of their education. The joy of their play, or the joy of their play. Biden gave Kennedy no credit. He is also quoted or paraphrased John Kennedy, Hubert Humphrey, and British Labor Party leader Neil kinnock, all without credit. Joseph Biden admitted today that he committed plagiarism when he was in law school. He said

I'm the first one in line. I'm making sure I'm just making sure we don't want to leave anything, anything on the table. I know you're a busy guy, just making sure you got it done. In fact, governor, people were looking at me like, where the hell did you come from? And I'm walking in and he treated me greatly, and they all came up to me and whispered to me, the judge of elections. I'm a conservative. She said, you know, like we're in East Germany or something. But anyway, governor desantis. For the people of Florida and the people all over the country with all these close races, everybody talking about red, way, red tsunami except me if we have it great. What do you want to tell the people? I just tell people go out and storm those polls tomorrow. We have an opportunity to do very well. It's not in the bag. It's not in the bag at all. But I think you look at what we're going to do in Florida. I think we have a chance to have a historic night. You look across the country, a lot of those close races in the U.S. House and U.S. Senate. I think if our folks just swarmed the polls tomorrow, I think all those close races are going to go our way. And I think it will be a really good night. And it's just a matter of getting out there, dragging other people, you know, out there, Friends, family neighbors, coworkers, you name it, get them out there. And if you think about it, like Florida, we're in a situation where the majority of the people here, they appreciate being in Florida. They think the state's going on the right direction. They appreciated how we handled it during COVID. Many people moved here because of how we handled it. So that's great for us and we got great energy. On the other hand, floridians view the country is going in the wrong direction and they strongly disapprove of Biden's policies. And so that gives added incentives to want to go out and express your voice. And I think what we're hopefully going to see in Florida is massive turnout on our side, decisively winning the middle. And then I think we've really demoralized the Democrats, the Democrat base, because we're putting wins on the board and Biden is failing. And that's just obvious for everybody to see. Miami dade is a typically heavy Democrat area, and yet things are seem to be changing there, right, governor. Yeah, I think so. I mean, we actually going into election day, we have had more Republicans in Miami dade cast ballots than Democrats have. Now, you don't necessarily know who they vote for, but I think in Miami, those Republicans are like 95% kind of vote for me. The Democrats were getting Democrats down here, particularly Latino Democrats to vote for us. And so we're going into election very likely with a good lead and we anticipate a really strong turnout tomorrow. So I think this is going to be a major sea change. This is the most urban, highly populated county in the state of Florida. This is obviously a major area that's attracted a lot of people over the last few years. Republicans typically don't win those types of areas. We're usually winning suburbs, exurbs, and more rural. This is going to probably be after this election going to be considered the most conservative major urban area in the United States. You have a lot of new seats, a lot of seats that are kind of on the line. You had an excellent redistricting thanks to you. How do you see that playing out? Well, I think we have really two different things. One on the federal level, we have 16 Republican members of Congress currently. Tomorrow night, if everyone does their part, we will likely have 20 Republican congressmen. So that's a four seat gain. And then in the state legislature, we do have strong Republican majorities in both the House and Senate. But again, if people come out with a vengeance, we will have super majorities in both the Florida House and the Florida Senate. So that's really, really important for us. And so and of course, senator Rubio getting reelected and helping us maintain that seat and therefore get control of the U.S. Senate. So we should mark after tomorrow. It will be the first time since reconstruction that there has not been a Democrat elected statewide office in the state of Florida. It will be a 100% Republican. Now, you managed to you and managed to, with your policies and so forth. I mean, completely change things in four years. I mean, four years ago, you won by what, 50,000 votes or so? Yeah, so if you look back before I became governor, the marquee race, each, every two years, Rick Scott 2010 governor Obama 2012 president, Rick Scott reelection, 14 Donald Trump in 16 and then me and 18. Those are all one point races or less. And that was kind of the norm in Florida politics. We had almost 300,000 more registered Democrats in Florida than Republicans. When I got elected, well, today, we have 306,000 more registered Republicans than Democrats had a lot of people come that don't affiliate with a party, but are with us largely because they were refugees from COVID lockdowns and they came to the free state of Florida. So this electorate is going to be the first electorate that we've ever had that has a Republican advantage at all. We've never had more ours than these in Florida history and to have 306,000 in just a four year period. That's almost a 600,000 registration shift in favor of Republicans. We've never seen anything like that. A lot of that's migration, Mark, but honestly, if you look at the number of people that go from D to R in Florida versus R to D, we are converting so many more Democrats to Republicans than vice versa. It's not even funny, particularly in a place like Miami dade county. You campaigned in many parts of the country as well. The people in New York we have a huge New York listenership here as well. They have a chance to a likely Zelda. What would you tell the people of New York? These albums and excellent candidate he would make a really good governor. That's just no matter what. But now if you look at what's going on in New York, I know about the problems in New York, Mark because people are fleeing New York. They're coming to Florida and they're telling me about the problems. They're telling me about the crime. They're telling me about the bad policies. The COVID insanity that went on there. And so Lee will correct all of that. And it will increase the quality of life in the state of New York. And I think we can have our different philosophical debates. I mean, obviously, you and I are going to be on one side. There's other Americans that are on the other. But when you're personal safety is no longer secured, that's sometimes where people get out of their political comfort zone and realize you got to elect somebody that's going to take care of that. So it leaves out and will do that. And I think it will be big for New York. And I've also said with Florida, we're unique because these races affect our state. I mean, if Stacey Abrams were to win governor in Georgia, which he's not, that would precipitate Georgians moving to Florida in greater numbers. There's no question about that with Lee is trying to do is he's trying to stop the bleeding in New York. And the thing is, is there's been a lot of wealth that's come to Florida from there. And that's great. I've got guys from NYPD that retired on your port of three. Great, guys. They're my supporters. So it's been good for me. It's been good for the state. But I want the country to succeed. I want all these places to have a shot.

"Interactive Roker studio I'm Joe Matthew and for David Weston today on balance of power and joining us Bloomberg law reporter Jordan rube and Jordan thanks for being here We've got a couple of pretty important headlines to talk about beginning with this one Supreme Court to consider banning race in college admissions You can read about it on the terminal right now as the court agrees to consider abolishing the use of race in college admissions decisions accepting appeals involving Harvard and the university of North Carolina This is pretty big stuff I was in Boston when the Harvard case got to federal court Here Jordan we're talking major precedence here decades old precedents that the Supreme Court would be addressing That's right In 2003 the court had said that it was okay to use these race conscious types of emissions policies and that precedent has been reaffirmed since then And in 2003 the court said that they expected that it would be okay to consider using those types of considerations for at least 25 years Obviously it hasn't yet been 25 years since then but the court is still looking to potentially overturn that It's interesting that 25 years ago in that case a majority opinion grudge in the Greta decision predicted I shouldn't say 25 years ago looking ahead 25 Justice Sandra Day O'Connor majority opinion racial preferences will no longer be necessary in 25 years Who thinks they're still needed Jordan Well I think as the eventual decision is going to show in this case probably just a minority of the court will think that there is still needed and the schools that issue in the case think they're still The schools do too In this case there's Harvard and there's the university of North Carolina and many other schools around the country and schools obviously for a long time Under Supreme Court precedents have been guided by that and using race as a factor but generally just one factor among many So the schools obviously think that it's important so that's why they're fighting to retain the right to still use that type of consideration among others when it's looking to admit The group students for fair admissions contends Harvard penalizes Asian Americans During the admissions process giving them lower ratings on leadership and likeability while automatically giving preferences to black and Hispanic applicants we should note Harvard says that is false Harvard says that it's not the way that it conducts business So how do you make a decision in a case like this Right And I'm glad that you brought that up because I was going to mention that I think that factual dispute that you're highlighting is potentially something that's going to come up at the arguments And in the briefing ahead of the argument in this case because as you say the very premise on which the challengers are taking on this policy is contested So I think that factual part itself is going to be a source of litigation on top of the broader principle of whether race conscious admissions should be allowed So this is one The other is this word from the Supreme Court that they're rejecting a minority leader that's the U.S. House minority leader Kevin McCarthy's challenge to the use of proxy voting This is something that came about and was really expanded during COVID and just as recently as last week Republican leaders were asked in a news conference Jordan why they were using proxy voting If they didn't think it was proper and they said they were simply playing by the rules of the House that Nancy Pelosi put out there So it looks like it will live on That's right And I don't think that many people thought that the court was going to grant review in this case but obviously still significance They did not because this affects how Congress does business But as you say it's going to be status quo or at least a new status quo I should say in terms of members being allowed to use this proxy voting which members of both parties apparently like to avail themselves of so that can continue Does this just come down to the benefits of face to face communication What is it that Republicans otherwise don't like about proxy voting Well it could be that it was a policy instituted by Democrats of course we're getting sort of more into the political realm but I don't think in a case like this you can really disassociate the two because obviously we've seen both Republicans and Democrats using the policy and obviously in all types of legal cases there are political issues as well But here obviously when you have a case that's called McCarthy against Pelosi the explanation is essentially give themselves right And so I think there's some of that going on here and especially given the fact that both parties have liked to do it I think everyone will be okay going forward most likely It is really something when they line up there and they proudly proclaim who it is they are voting for You can get a lot done in the middle of a pandemic with this Although Nancy Pelosi says to be clear that it will be temporary right This isn't forever Jordan That's what they said but as with other COVID policies it probably remains good to be seen right And so there's some things we've learned during the pandemic that people just like that's how it's easier to do business whether it's because of a disease or not The political side that will have to unfold however Congress wants to handle its business But I think that that's the point that the Supreme Court effectively reiterated this morning is that this is something for Congress to decide whether it's Democrats or Republicans who are in charge It's essentially not the court's business to get involved Each member can serve as a proxy for as many as ten colleagues We've talked to some lawmakers here on Bloomberg radio as they were coming or going from the floor with a whole bunch of names in their pocket This comes down to the sort of purity test for the constitution though right McCarthy said that the constitution has a quorum requirement That's why we shouldn't be doing this That's right And there is this aspect of the constitution called the speech or debate clause and essentially that and similar provisions are coming up in litigation in the sense that the question is Ken courts even get involved whether courts think that Congress is doing something that's right or wrong and this is the latest line And that type of case in this sort of speech or debate case where courts are saying it's not up to the judicial branch to get involved This is legislative business and we're leaving it to that And we'll see if this I guess outlives the coronavirus or whatever variant is going around I have to admit this is just as an aside as someone who spends a good deal of time on Capitol Hill and The White House Not.

"U.S. House censures Republican for video of him killing Democrat. Henry Montgomery, the juvenile with a life sentence is free. And Apple boughs to pressure allowing self repairs to devices. It's Thursday November 18. I'm Anthony Davis. The U.S. House voted on Wednesday to censure Republican representative Paul gosar of Arizona for posting an animated video that depicted him killing democratic representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez with a sword, an extraordinary rebuke that highlighted the political strains testing Washington and the country. Calling the video a clear threat to a lawmaker's life, Democrats argued gosar's conduct would not be tolerated in any other workplace and shouldn't be in Congress. The votes to censure gosar and also remove him from his house committee assignments was approved by a vote of 223 to 207, almost entirely along party lines, with representatives Liz Cheney of Wyoming and Adam kinzinger of Illinois, the only Republicans voting in favor. Kosar had deleted the tweet days ago amid the criticism, but he retweeted the video late on Wednesday shortly after the vote. He showed no emotion as he stood in the well of the house after the vote, flanked by roughly a dozen Republicans, a speaker Nancy Pelosi read the censure resolution and announced his penalty. He shook hands, hugged, and patted other members of the GOP conference on the back before leaving the chamber. Republican minority leader, Kevin McCarthy, called the censure and abuse of power by Democrats to distract from national problems. He said of the censure a new standard will continue to be applied in the future, a signal of potential ramifications for democratic members should Republicans retake a majority. But the Democrats said there was nothing political about it. These actions demand a response, we can not have members joking about murdering each other said Pelosi. This is both an endangerment of our elected officials and an insult to the institution. Ocasio-Cortez herself said in an impassioned speech. When we incite violence with depictions against our colleagues, that trickles down to violence in this country, and that is where we must draw the line. The Louisiana inmate, whose Supreme Court case was instrumental in extending the possibility of freedom to hundreds of people sentenced to life in prison without the opportunity for parole when they were juveniles was freed on parole on Wednesday after spending nearly 6 decades behind bars. 75 year old Henry Montgomery was released from prison just hours after the parole board's decision and went to the offices of a Louisiana parole project, a nonprofit, which is supporting him after his release. There, he was embraced by tearful staff and former juvenile lifers who were freed as a result of the court case that bears Montgomery's name. It feels so wonderful, said Montgomery during an interview. When asked what he plans to do now that he is out of prison, Montgomery said he wanted to pay his respects to his mother and grandmother and other family members who died while he was behind bars. Montgomery had been convicted in the 1963 killing of east Baton Rouge, sheriff's deputy Charles hunt, who caught him skipping school. Montgomery was 17 at the time. Board member Tony maribella voted to approve Montgomery's release with certain conditions, including a curfew and that he have no contact with the victim's family. Meanwhile, two of the three men convicted in the assassination of Malcolm X are set to be cleared today after insisting on their innocence since the 1965 killing of one of the United States's most formidable fighters for civil rights. Their lawyers and Manhattan's top prosecutor said yesterday. A nearly two yearlong reinvestigation found that authorities withheld evidence favorable to the defense in the trial of Muhammad Aziz 83 and the late Khalil Islam, said their attorneys, the innocence project and civil rights lawyer, David shaniz, Aziz called his conviction, the result of a process that was corrupt to its core, one that is all too familiar, even today. Apple is letting some iPhone uses fix their own phones, a sharp turnaround for a company that has long prohibited anyone but company approved technicians from fiddling with its proprietary parts and software. The company said on Wednesday that it will enable users of two of the newest iPhone models and eventually some Mac computers to get access to genuine Apple parts and tools for consumer repairs. The shift reflects a strengthening right to repair movement embraced by president Joe Biden and affecting everything from smartphones to cars and tractors. It's a reaction to the infusion of software into more everyday products, and the practices of manufacturers who have increasingly made those products difficult and expensive to repair. Apple is launching an online store for self service repairs early next year. It will initially be focused on do it yourself fixes to screens, batteries and displays which Apple previously resisted and cited concerns about security and safety, such as faulty battery replacements that can damage a device. The Federal Trade Commission, the Biden administration and state legislatures have been eyeing regulatory changes that would make it easier for Americans to repair their broken devices. They've also said that those repairs restrictions often fall heavily on minority and low income consumers. Thanks to growing pressure, including from some of apple's own investors, a shareholder proposal from an environmentally minded investment group, calls for the company to cease its anti repair practices, arguing that they are contributing to electronic waste.

Where you kinda wanna give a good price. Kaji understand that they're in a jam The machines have been better at pricing out. You still need to make sure. The foundation isn't cracked. The roof doesn't need to be replaced. Sometimes machine you get an inspection but mostly yep houses ward like stocks stock.

Just give us the address. We'll crunch the numbers and send you a bit. And so people are doing that because they don't want somebody walking through their house during covert but increasingly. They're doing it just because they don't want to clean up the house every day. You have to five year olds if he were listing your property trying to get them to clean. The room is impossible. So you get more money you get more you get more money. If you list it. You get a little more convenience if you just take the cash offer And just the world is moving toward convenience Not every most people are gonna list but some people are gonna do this this cash off. Okay so you have this massive innovation on one side now to get the controversial topic which i leave always towards the end of the. Maybe you're not gonna hurt my feelings. nobody could. This is my interview technique. I got all the softballs. And then i get into some of the more challenge yourself at the end. 'cause they got you warmed up but i can tell you that because we're friends but also by the way as it note isn't it funny that their investment community like ten years ago when you were struggling and dog fighters try to make advertising where like totally like gave up on your business and now everybody's throwing money at it just ten years later entrepreneur.

The person who pitched you on an app in florence challenge is an building exercise by hiring real estate agents their challenges that they're gonna be giving forty percent of their revenue to facebook every month. And so it's just really hard to build an audience. And i think also entrepreneurs just wanna go out into the real world that make a difference in the real world Most of the media company plays have been played excited about about it. Well if you think about it. Like what did with tesla and spacex. And then joe you know at airbnb and the travis uber like those companies really were like we'll go into the real world and the funniest story ever like. I'm trying to help.

What will we've had people get stuck on the wrong side of the border where you employ the chinese national who goes back home and then can't get into the united states to do his job at red fin and so we ended up opening an office in vancouver for that purpose and i know so many other tech companies that are doing that so I guess there's something for everyone of every political stripe in so far there's some liberal policies that work there conservative policies that work. I hope you can be cuticle about it and really pick the best ideas regardless of your politics. Well it is one of the great things about you. Know this is this is a this is a podcast about innovation and start ups. And i think what you're saying is the fifty states in the united states as well as some you know next to us like canada and regions are actually like startups now. And they're innovating and heaven offering for consumers. Those consumers are businesses and citizens and that means two types of real estate. I know you don't work in the commercial real estate space but we have something like fourteen salesforce towers of open office space in san francisco. What is going to happen in commercial real estate in a city like san francisco given that you had massive building of commercial real estate san francisco and at the same time. Work from home appeals most of the companies where they are and nobody including yourself myself wants to live in san francisco. I lived in san francisco. I left it wasn't safe for my family. I wanted more space. And i didn't appreciate the the you know the way it was being run. And so what happens to all that commercial real estate. If you had to speculate first of all. I think san francisco is mostly a safe city. And it's a beautiful city. So i left my own reasons but it's not a rejection of the city. I do wish that they had been more aggressive about solving the housing crisis by building more housing but masson deflationist. What's ahead for commercial real estate because even if you convert some of those buildings into condos. The rationale for living downtown was to be next to twitter or salesforce or whatever your employer was and now when people are working remotely. I don't think they necessarily want to live downtown as much so just looking at the housing market. The housing market for single family homes as you at aria observed has been red hot. The housing market for condos has been less so some of that's about sharing air conditioning or heating system with other people. But mostly it's just about the fact that people have wanted more stays so i don't think that converting commercial real estate into residential is going to solve many problems. I actually my kid is on a soccer team with another kid whose parent holds a owns. The building that red finley says and he was telling me that i know y'all are coming back commercials going to be back bigger than ever just watching the game. Okay fella that's optimistic. I mean being being a great entrepreneur. Isn't it like usual. But that's straight up. Delusional the idea tech companies are going to be able to take people who have left and relocated like you said to a bigger space and to a worked. I mean that's farcical that that will happen in our lifetimes i think. Yeah i mean. Almost every ceo right now is comparing the length of their leases. Because we're all trying to figure out when.

And i thought glen red fin now. You didn't try to be smart. You didn't come to real estate for background. Like you didn't come to red fin and become and run redfin. Seo from two thousand five to the president because you love real estate you were going to be a doctor and you're going to go to med school this kind of stuff. Yeah but you then figured out. You loved it and you've done a lot of innovative there. Let's start with and we'll get into and all the innovations that have gone on in the space. I wanted to start with. What is your take on. What is going on with the housing crisis. Slash bubble slash appreciation. Because i've never seen anything like this. And i lived through the last bubble the two time when i bought my first house and so just generally people are watching housing prices through the roof people migrating. I don't get the senate. A lot of people in our circles are selling their original home. they're just buying a secondhand sitting on the first one because it's appreciating faster than the stock market which then is screwing with supply. Tell us everything from where you sit because you have the data where to start. I think there are two trends and wanted. The chickens are coming home to roost in the other is that the dam is broken. You've definitely spoken to that second trend. Which is that all this money built up. In san francisco new york everyone in pittsburgh tulsa oklahoma were talking about how they create silicon valley wherever they were and we never thought they would but now they finally have and so. I think it's actually good for the country. That technology expertise professional classes can live anywhere. But it does create these social disruption. People moving to nashville are paying nearly vice as much as the folks who live there for home they come in with monopoly money from new york or california and they sent home prices shooting through the roof and the reason that those prices have continued to go up. Is the insane francisco when prices went up. It just reached a natural limit. But for someone. Moving to boise idaho. You can pay three times as much and you're still sending less than a million dollars for house so it feels so cheap. It's just that the people who started in boise are suddenly priced out of the market..

Our mission is very simple. Let's define the truth and it's to ensure accountability.

"And even with trump endorsing one the other may not automatically get out if they've got a local basin region of the state which a couple of these jokers do and Then then she's in business. Because i think in a in a real three way i think she can still prevails. I'm not counting around at all. And that cheney name and brand there is not getting your to fifty in a primary but boy oh boy i think she's going to hold a third or a little more depending on. What else happened so open question if toughness matters. Yeah yeah she's going to do very very well. I mean i said the other day you know you could throw dart against the wall of issues and and be sure. Pretty sure to hit one on which i disagree but i really admire Her for up because she's done what politicians rarely do. She's actually put herself at risk and not just political risk but personal risk. David if you're willing to fly to the district and endorse one of her opponents. Let's talk in the primary we could you could. You could be very helpful by the way. Texas has a another one of these trump laboratory. Testers a run on now. Where ron right. Who sadly and died of kovic. In february his wife is doing what we call them. Politics the widow's walk and she was in front but there's a state rep has given her halvor race made. The runoff out raised three to one. And he's by the former governor. Rick perry jake z so that trump is all in for right so this could be an interesting one where the candidate would normally have the advantage and has trump could still lose which i think would send a signal to republican inside world. That may be the trump death-ray ray what it used to be. Yeah you got another one next weekend. Ohio to devers resigned to run the chamber of commerce. And there's a trumpy running against a candidate steelers is who's more of a conventional republican endorsed. So we're gonna have a couple of tests also next point high. Ohio is that primarily in cleveland in the cleveland area. Yeah this.

"To trump. Biographer michael wolff who spent some time with trump down at the mar-a-lago elbow retreat. Says he's running again because revenge is what rules them and i remember. I tweeted wow this. I'm not sure but this is a strong argument. I think you re tweeted me. David of snark up. It was respectful respectful counterpoint. The why the hell wouldn't he run. So what do we think is wolf right and by the way i just read landslide slot of fun if you wanna be a fly on the wall during the If if you're a fan of the movie downfall you're you're going to enjoy it. What do we think trump again. I'm still not sure. But david what do you say you know. He's about as i've said this before about as subtle as a fart spacesuit. He'll tell you what he's gonna do. He knew barring an act of god or an act of the wheels of justice turning against him here. I think he he is going to run. I mean i think he'd say it anyway because it's a big money maker for me is raising a bunch of dough. Onder false pretenses sticking it in his pocket and that's something he always enjoys. But i think he's gonna run. I think is a big problem. Mike for your party. Because he'd go in. I think is the strong favorite to be the nominee. Oh look i. I've always side. He's going to act like he's gonna run because why not center the universe at the media attention ego the question is does he ultimately run and i think the world in eighteen to twenty months may be very different than what we're now we don't know we're gonna find out but he's a problem whether he runs or not 'cause he's the gravity field right now. Which means we have dam little chance of getting the suburbs back although we always have the the clarence the angel that will save the republican party. Which is the democrats and their propensity for overreach. And you know we'll see what happens but I what makes the best argument. Which is pure revenge score-settling though i i'll say there's a corollary to that. Which is trump possessed by. Revenge is not the best trump as a candidate. It'll be boring. It's like when he went to Anthony gonzalez district northern ohio to endorse the primary opponent to gonzales. Who worked in the trump white house. Any kind of a rambling. Nothing burger speech all about his enemies list. So i'm not sure revenge. Driven trump is a improved more formidable trump. Should he run but yeah as a great chancy well at least as of today you must have been sad when you saw george bush anna out you feel about jeb and i like him as well as a person But his son. He paid the toll that he thought he needed to pay to participate in texas politics. He's running for attorney general against a A lunatic in my view. Ken paxton the incumbent. Who was the author of the lawsuit. Trump wanted challenging the election but also is under investigation himself and george p went down in early july and communed with trump and tweeted out a big tribute to trump and was rewarded yesterday by trump endorsing paxson in a primary against george p. What a high price to pay to be humiliated by trump. i two thoughts about it politically. I thought it was incredibly stupid. Because one trump's still screw in the end as has been proven you did and to it makes a contest out of it so now. It's cat bites dog. Because all i the suck supper he'd go with george p instead he wanted the now now. Georgia's actually engaged in a fight and lost so double stupid as far as the rest of it. The jobs my friend. It's a son not something. I like to publicly talk about but my my view of it is very shakespearean as patently. Obvious if you look at what happened and it is It is it is the reality of trump. And i thought george would have known that and second. I'm a little surprised at that cynicism but i guess that's the coin of the realm now in texas or most republican primaries. Yeah it was pointed out on tv this morning. You remember because you were involved in all of that the exchange between Jeb bush and donald trump donald trump was really slamming. Jeff's wife and george pease mother in kind of racist terms terrible. I was one of the first indications and let me say for jeb. There were two guys at the beginning. Who called trump out in the party. Fearlessly one was jeb bush early and often when everybody else in the primary and sixteen were suck up re mode. And the other was lindsey graham. Which is another shakespearean story. So i'm personally offering to buy my friend. George p a free ticket to wyoming to go to liz cheney reeducation-camp because i think there could be still hope after this character building experience. Let me ask you guys a question about liz. Cheney she raised a boatload of money last quarter like almost two million dollars. She's got a big treasure trove to run on but she's not popular among republicans because of her fight with trump inches counting on a very large field. To win a plurality actually beat back moved by the trump is in the legislature to turn it into a runoff situation. Because she couldn't win enough she needs a big few young then she murphy yeah is she won the first time for parral around thirty nine i think percent of the vote and i think trump today tomorrow is having this This kangaroo court at westminster new jersey. Or bedminster nells country club that i will never set foot from wet westminster. Yeah yeah very long way but anyway. So they're kneeling right now. There are like two or three of. I'm the real trumper. And i'm then trump's got his sceptre turn he's gonna pick somebody in the trump theory is the whole world were lining up behind but remember about wyoming is a small state so the money is not a superpower. They're all going to have enough money. It's like what hurts more to have one piano dropped on your head or three. They're all going to have a piano. She'll have eleven but they're all going to have that but it's not a statement for big dominant city. It's spread around so you're going to have people basis locally and there's going to be somebody in one place who says i'm the real trumper but trump didn't pick me we'll bullshit. I'm not going to give up that. Other guys in idiot i knew him in the legislature. The i'm going to convince them. I'm the real trumper. So getting people out when they see somebody vulnerable like. Liz is really really hard. Getting the little fish out is easy but who cares as long as she has to real trumpers in a blood fest. I'm hiring corey lewandowski. I'm hiring brad pasco. I've got red hats. I've got you know red pants..

"Just sticking on biden for second united talked after that. Cnn townhall last week. You had a pretty harsh view of his performance. There and i agree that it wasn't a great performance he can. He has been outstanding in some of these town halls partly because amphitheater superpower is got people in front of him with whom he can empathize in this particular case allow. The question sounded like they were written by reporters. Not real people and he wasn't particularly sharp. What was your analysis of that. Well you're right and but before we get to that real quickly. I just as a journalist. Not a hack. Wanna get to murphy for a point of clarification Just to make sure. I understand you. When you've twice referred to democrats should just accept what republicans are offering transportation. What you mean. I think more specifically for mass transit as opposed to transportation broadly right as the framework. That's always a point of contention. The democrats more for urban mass transit and roy totally. Yeah because it's the home team so the democrat it's already there's more money for all that billions more. But they're like for extra and the suburban and rural republicans are no. We went the money to go into free tractor repair something in the you know people want stuff for the chicago mass transit authorities. So that there's a categorical. Fight over where. Money goes within the lump sum. My point is i would. I would lose that fight to win the bank war and to fight again with a stronger army if i were them and this thing is fragile enough you know. Let's not. Let's not lose the pacific worrell off one small skirmish off an island somewhere. The question about the islands skirmish is in trying to hold his own troops together. You know the mass transit piece is also connected to the climate piece and so allow. The climate stuff was removed from this bill. And this is a this is a piece of that so you know he's i don't i don't envy by. This is a very. it's a tight squeeze. It's just what's changing here. Every hour is the republicans are looking at each other saying. This guy is in trouble on cova. The foreign policy stuff could be a little wobbly. Why are we helping him. Why are we giving them the biggest bipartisan victory ever and so every day the republican glue is getting worse to try to get this thing done and so he's got to decide biden does is he gonna pay the tax getting done. Because if you wait snag goals. I think is gonna fall apart. I repub won't get to sixty votes and sure biden can blame him. Democratic partisans will say okay. It's your fault. All the washington scorekeeping. We're have a field day for weeks but out in voter land a failure so covert turning into a mixed any maybe a failure and the big economic infrastructure plan that everybody's polling is going to be a failure and we all know the present the big desk lands on him or her so. If i were biden i would close it today. I asked jack about this townhall meeting. And i don't want you to wriggle out by asking a murphy question but by the way. Luckily nobody saw it. So you're your you say but let me append a question. Which is if the economy sucks. That's a problem for biden. How much does he bear. He did have a big celebration on july fourth He didn't have a he was very clear not to put up. A mission accomplished banner but there was a feel of that. Now we're back in masks Does he bear the blame for that. You think in voters minds are do you think that there's a recognition that there are a bunch of people out there who defiantly refused to including by the way legislatures who have banned passports a vaccine passports and other stuff. Do you think people blame biden. I don't think so But that's a good question and it's you can't answer it definitively yet. I think to the extent that the answer will be as bifurcated and as polarized as every other political question in our country. Right now i mean just the for you know as a rational basis. the reason he shouldn't be blamed dislike. take the situation. We have just this week in missouri. The city of saint louis reinstates. Copay did precautions. Anti cova cautions because the new rates of infection and hospitalizations are way up and then the missouri. Legislators the republican dominated missouri. Legislature comes into to veto that took to make to join the parade of republican state legislatures that are precluding local cities and from from protecting their public murphy. Get your people in our control. I'll cenema stiffly worded note. And but you know the thing that amazed at this for so long and i grew up hearing republicans. Talk about that. The best government was the government closest to the people but here in the year. Twenty twenty one. That doesn't apply if the government closest to the people is a city run by democrats right. I've given up on you talk about the belt. Well again only three hundred thousand in the demo tuned in so it was an invisible townhall. I didn't see it. But when i remember i was pretty bumpy. Yeah i mean. I don't want i don't wanna look like i'm dating. I thought biden was performance was really subpar and he needs to do better than that. I think his still his sir uncle joe. Grandpa joe demeanor still as a winner for most americans his approval rating is. You know not great by historical standards but pretty damn good by recent standards of presidents study. Yeah relatively steady. And i just think though that when he was when he's that shaky when he had a a national audience if even a small one to make the case for his legislative agenda. He just didn't do very well i. I don't disagree. I don't think it was a i. Don't think it was a strong Perform his part but he does. His persona is very powerful and that gets him along way down the field. The word salads that night were not particularly tasty or well organized only he had a big infrastructure wind. Dig out of it. David game it. Could you pass the word to the white house that he shouldn't say not a joke so many times. If that were a drinking game we all would have been plastered by the end of the of the broadcast. The thing is it's always after something like six hundred thousand people have died not a joke. It's like no. I don't think there's any confusion about whether joker have.

We must also know what happened every minute of that day in the white house every phone call every conversation every meeting leading up to during and after the attack honorable men and women have an obligation to step forward if those responsible are not held accountable and if congress does not act responsibly this will remain a cancer on our constitutional republic undermining the peaceful transfer of power at the heart of our democratic system. That was representative liz. Cheney of wyoming who oddly in the current republican conference remembers the oath. She took to the constitution at the january. Six committee hearings opened today. Acts how are you doing a big day in american history as we look at the painful events of january six to this committee. Now i'm doing well brother but I listen to some of that testimony this morning and it was a it was searing and it no more than two our destiny. Jackie coms who spent thirteen years up there. On capitol hill covering The hill for the wall street journal when the great scribes in that town now a A newly minted washington columnist for the la times and author of a pretty relevant book. Descent the radicalization of the republican party and it's captured the court about the cavanaugh. A confirmation but it's about a lot more than that jackie. Good to see you hanky. It's so great to be here. I walk with you guys almost night when i listened to your podcast. So it's really ought to be on with. You can see your feet moving here on zoom so exactly. You're falling into habits here but well has gym shoes. Ten thousand steps. Talk about your feelings as you heard. These officers testified because it brought back really vividly that day. I mean in through the eyes of people whose lives were very much on the line. You know when i was watching it in real time because i wasn't on the capitol grounds on january six. That was my virtual office for thirteen straight years and those cops like one hundred fifty of them. Squared off against more than nine thousand insurrection has and i just thought of the capitol policeman. I knew and talk to every single day at the doors including the ones for each of my pregnancies that bought me baby gifts at. I still have a raggedy ann. And andy that i was given for my oldest daughter and it's just it i i got i teared up this morning. Just as the officers did listen to describe their experiences. Harry done being called a fucking nigger. Am i allowed to say that under show here. You can in that context and Officer hodges describing seeing his colleagues hit with cattle prods. All things and you know not to mention flagpoles these alleged patriots hitting competitive party from the party of law enforcement hitting policemen with the flag holes of the united states. I mean could you not be affected by that and yet fifty percent of the country and seventy percent of one of our two major parties is not affected by. This does not believe that's really a question for us hacks which is What what should this but what does it mean but before we get there just on your point. There was a bite from one of the officers that.
