00:01:07.540 you're listening to the best of the glenn beck program

00:01:18.660 so the new york post got a hold of what was in the computer and um you know because the new york post is

00:01:28.540 a republican paper and the new york times and the washington post are the democrat paper that's

00:01:33.780 where we are again kind of and the republican paper twitter wouldn't cancel their account

00:01:40.640 can't even report on this story and now two years later the new york times and the washington post have

00:01:46.060 come around to say okay there was something there now what i said at the beginning how it came to them

00:01:51.480 it came to them through rudy giuliani and steve bannon so yes of course when rudy giuliani says

00:01:56.440 i've got some evidence you take that with a giant thing of salt

00:02:00.200 but not two years it didn't take two years it looks like the left-wing media just buried the

00:02:11.380 story because it wasn't part of their narrative and that's why people don't trust the media

00:02:14.780 you have to love the crowd at the bill maher uh show for hbo where the only thing in that entire

00:02:21.300 monologue they clap for is the one slap at rudy giuliani everything else is a slap at the media

00:02:27.500 how they didn't handle the hunter biden story they are dead silent and then he says one little

00:02:32.440 throwaway line about rudy giuliani not being completely trustworthy as a campaign operative

00:02:37.200 and there is where the crowd goes crazy by the way you can get a hunter biden laptop case at

00:02:44.340 hunterbidenlaptopcase.com it's uh something you will enjoy i think hunterbidenlaptopcase.com

00:02:50.620 is the place to go to get that if you're if you want to have the ultimate in hunter biden where

00:02:57.440 you'll you'll enjoy that hunterbidenlaptopcase.com we are at uh we're talking about the media and we

00:03:02.820 are talking about the way the entire media and not to mention just the media but the republicans as well

00:03:09.680 how they decide to react to these stories as they break and this goes to the katanji brown jackson saga

00:03:17.680 as well katanji brown jackson of course is going to be uh the nominee for the supreme court that is

00:03:24.960 going to uh happen she's going to get on the supreme court and that is a that is a that's real that's

00:03:31.400 really going to happen we talked we told you this at the very beginning if you were expecting a real

00:03:36.080 fight from republicans on katanji brown jackson you were going to be bitterly disappointed they were

00:03:42.980 going to do a whole lot of nothing there of course would be a couple of senators who would say some

00:03:48.520 critical things they weren't going to just sit there and act as if she was perfect but there was

00:03:52.520 never any chance that you were going to get a real fight from the republicans on this one because

00:03:57.880 they looked at the political realities and they tried to judge them judge them and what they saw

00:04:02.100 was that they could not stop katanji brown jackson basically no matter what so they decided not really

00:04:09.920 to try that is essentially what you just saw happening you read the stories about this and

00:04:16.220 they act as if brett kavanaugh was nothing compared to what katanji brown jackson just went through

00:04:22.380 it's just it's incredible to see the reaction to this they didn't accuse as far as i know and pat

00:04:29.680 great joins uh the program as far as i know pat they didn't accuse katanji brown jackson of rape

00:04:36.400 no i didn't i didn't hear him do that i didn't hear that happen once no murder no uh embezzling

00:04:44.880 funds no any made-up crime what about um drinking too much in high school did they accuse her no no

00:04:53.000 they did not did they ask her anything about her drinking habits not that i ever saw she could be a 0.95

00:04:58.380 raging alcoholic do we know we don't know we don't know they didn't even ask about it no they

00:05:02.940 basically didn't even come up you had a couple people like ted cruz who asked him some questions

00:05:07.760 and josh hawley about about her uh seemingly lenient sentences sentences for child porn purveyors which

00:05:16.280 seems fair when you're talking about a judge and some of her rulings yeah uh i think that's fair game

00:05:24.080 and this was sort of portrayed as like why are the republicans saying she's in favor of child porn

00:05:30.120 nobody's saying she's in favor of child porn what they're saying is she her judicial philosophy

00:05:36.780 shows she's not tough on criminals especially serious ones and that do we want that as you know

00:05:44.720 the the supreme court justice we're getting is that what we want i'm gonna say i don't i don't either

00:05:50.440 maybe i'm in the minority maybe we're in the minority it's possible because uh she's gonna skate 0.99

00:05:58.080 right through so yeah she's gonna get through and and she's basically over yeah it is i mean and

00:06:03.600 not only the joe mansion vote to me and joe mansion has held the line on a couple of small

00:06:10.020 things here and there but generally speaking joe mansion will not save you he will not be your

00:06:14.960 savior that is true he will not he will not come from the clouds i remember you predicting that

00:06:19.660 i just that joe mansion would not save the day he will not save the day he will not come from the

00:06:25.520 clouds with beams of sun behind him to save the day now he might shave a couple of uh dollars off

00:06:31.780 of uh you know a bill here and there it's it's possible but particularly when he's alone he's not

00:06:38.440 going to do that he had kirsten cinema with him on build back better which still i think has a good

00:06:43.900 chance of going through in some form you know scaled down form i mean mansion has said he wants to he

00:06:50.480 wants to spend 1.5 trillion dollars yeah this is not a guy who's holding the line on spending he just

00:06:56.520 didn't want to spend 3.5 because his state absolutely would hate him for it so mansion is

00:07:03.480 not going to hold the line that was the end of the actual drama to this hearing the question now just was

00:07:09.420 what republicans were going to uh go the other way and vote for confirmation and pat i've worked up a

00:07:16.900 list here of the worst votes all right the worst votes for republicans when it comes to this

00:07:22.860 confirmation i'm gonna give an honorable mention to lindsey graham and i want to say lindsey graham

00:07:28.060 is voting against katanji brown jackson okay however we have to be realistic about this lindsey graham is

00:07:36.140 terrible on these votes he constantly is going the wrong way on them yeah he is a senator you do not

00:07:42.240 need to tolerate in south carolina south carolina could give you a good senator you could have one 0.90

00:07:48.460 that is good and people like oh well i liked lindsey graham in the in the kavanaugh hearings and he was

00:07:53.260 great in the kavanaugh hearings there's no doubt about it this is when he shines when he could make a big

00:07:58.140 deal of himself and use that to raise funds that's the lindsey graham guarantee he will show up in those

00:08:05.500 moments and so now he's showing up uh to oppose katanji brown jackson

00:08:11.800 not because he has any principle because he has a personal relationship of sorts with another person

00:08:21.840 who was in the final three uh judge childs from south carolina and that's who he wanted and he's mad he didn't

00:08:29.020 get it because he he said in advance he would vote for her one of the uh final three in joe biden's

00:08:36.900 short list was from south carolina he came out publicly and advocated for her she did not get

00:08:43.120 the nomination his feelings are hurt and now he's going the other way that's lindsey graham so he gets

00:08:47.620 an honorable mention for me okay okay so there's three republicans that we believe are going to vote

00:08:55.460 for katanji brown jackson to get her through so let me give you the most understandable okay the least

00:09:01.600 offensive to me and that's susan collins susan collins is from maine this is a state that is i you might

00:09:13.220 be able to convince me it's sort of purplish at times but it certainly leans blue a real conservative

00:09:21.480 in maine would have a tough time winning here is a case where a political consideration if you're

00:09:28.100 going to make one and not vote on principle which is what i would prefer but if you're going to make

00:09:32.080 a political consideration you could make the argument this vote might actually help susan collins

00:09:36.400 stay in the senate and while susan collins is a terrible senator i mean she's awful she is barely a 1.00

00:09:43.940 republican but as opposed to what you might have in maine if collins were to lose you could make an

00:09:51.240 argument she's better than the alternative there she's about as good as you're going to get in 1.00

00:09:56.680 maine at least there's an argument to be made that that's true and this vote may actually help her in

00:10:03.760 maine so she can say i swear she needs moderates there she needs some liberals there to vote for her 1.00

00:10:08.240 to win so you could make the argument that that might actually help her stay in power it's the most

00:10:13.720 understandable of the three next up is lisa murkowski this one's baffling it's somewhat baffling 0.83

00:10:21.100 because she's in the middle of a primary battle right she could lose the nomination now she did 1.00

00:10:26.620 lose the nomination a couple of uh cycles ago and she ran as a write-in candidate in the state and her

00:10:36.080 name is so well known in the state that she actually won as a write-in candidate in one of the i would say

00:10:41.320 one of the most incredible political achievements yeah because that just doesn't happen yeah when you

00:10:46.520 get to the write-in period you just don't win i mean it's it's very difficult she might be the only

00:10:50.700 u.s senator to ever win a writing campaign that's a good question yeah you might you might be right

00:10:54.700 on that i can't remember another one there was another was it a congressman that did it recently

00:10:59.860 it does happen very occasionally but i don't think i've ever remembered a statewide race going that way

00:11:05.340 i don't know i i don't yeah she won as a write-in because she it was during the tea party wave election 0.92

00:11:11.200 and she lost the primary to the tea party sort of candidate who then wound up uh losing to her 0.99

00:11:18.300 and she didn't run as a democrat she ran as a i believe in an independent and went as a as a

00:11:23.580 writing candidate and won so she has real name recognition she might think she's safe but she

00:11:28.020 is in the middle of a primary challenge in a likely republican wave election year and this is not going

00:11:34.100 to help her in the primary so it's not an understandable vote i don't i don't see why she would do this other

00:11:40.520 than the fact that she really is just a left-leaning politician who believes katanji brown jackson will

00:11:49.700 probably be halfway decent and you know there is this thing and we've seen this before from senators

00:11:54.420 there's this um thought that you should just approve the nominees of the president yeah even

00:12:00.660 rand paul rand paul has talked about a bunch of times and now he's not in this case it's constitutional

00:12:04.560 that you just yeah you basically just say yes unless it's really egregious right which is when i

00:12:09.040 want somebody and they're you know somewhat decent just give it to them you just give it to them

00:12:14.140 especially in this case where it's not going to change the balance of the court you're going from

00:12:18.020 a hardcore liberal to a hardcore liberal so the thought is just give it to them rand paul did not

00:12:25.520 go that way this time it doesn't appear at least we haven't we don't have any official vote but he's

00:12:29.380 not announced anything of that effect so murkowski might just be that person she just approves these

00:12:33.260 things and she's also on the left but the gold medal the number one the unquestionable worst moment 1.00

00:12:41.360 of this entire hearing is of course obviously without a doubt mit romney mit romney a guy who's from

00:12:52.000 freaking utah a senator from utah a state that can give us someone like mike lee who's the best senator in

00:13:02.140 the senate we can get that out of utah and instead we have what i now believe is the worst senator

00:13:08.940 in the senate because you know he's terrible you could say susan collins has a worth worst voting 0.68

00:13:13.600 record and you'd be right on that collins is worse when it comes to a voting record but again from utah

00:13:18.760 yeah you can get a good senator out of utah and instead you have mit romney and what's completely

00:13:27.560 inexcusable here is that mit romney voted against her last time when she was up for just a federal

00:13:35.420 court uh so weird gig yeah he voted against her that wasn't that long ago no right yeah right yeah

00:13:42.220 it was months yeah ago voted against her then and now voted for her and this is the thing with romney 0.90

00:13:47.900 which is so irritating is where someone like lindsey graham will vote you know for a katanji 0.99

00:13:57.480 brown jackson when no one's paying attention you know and then when people are really looking at him

00:14:03.260 he's like ah crap this is a big one everyone's gonna remember this i'm gonna vote the right way

00:14:06.420 this time that's lindsey graham mit romney's the opposite i think mit romney knows she's radical 1.00

00:14:12.480 and voted against her last time because of it but now when he's in the sunlight of the media

00:14:18.720 and everyone's fawning on people who will go against the republican grain people notice

00:14:24.340 now he wants that adoration from the media he changes his vote to approving the nominee 0.99

00:14:29.880 yep which is just despicable and frankly pathetic it's a sad puppy dog that's been kicked by its owner 0.99

00:14:39.160 too many times and keeps coming back hoping this time they'll pet him they're not gonna pet you 0.97

00:14:45.260 man they're gonna leave you on the roof is what they're gonna do nobody's gonna they're gonna drive

00:14:48.540 down the highway leaving you on the roof this is the best of the glenn beck program and we really

00:14:56.720 want to thank you for listening all right uh i always i i always hate it when republicans start

00:15:10.460 trying to eat their own i let the democrats do that the extreme left wing eating the uh slightly less

00:15:18.060 extreme left wing um i i don't understand why republicans feel the need to start attacking

00:15:25.220 other republicans unless they're gonna start uh campaigning for president and maybe that's the

00:15:32.280 case here uh governor larry hogan of maryland slamming a ron de santis over the disney bill

00:15:41.620 and the fact that ron de santis was taking on disney for their uh action and trying in trying to

00:15:49.920 stop that bill from passing and now they're trying to overturn it um here's what he had to say your

00:15:56.680 fellow republican governor de santis in florida he suggested that he will retaliate against disney

00:16:03.400 after it criticized florida's so-called don't say gay bill which bans certain instruction about

00:16:09.360 sexual orientation and gender identity in the classroom what's your reaction to that and then

00:16:14.320 more broadly what do you make of that legislation well i didn't law i didn't really actually see

00:16:19.620 the details of the legislation but the whole the whole thing seems like oh pause it for a second

00:16:24.180 i i didn't really see the details i don't know anything about it i i have no idea what the bill says

00:16:29.080 uh but let me go ahead and criticize it uh anyway this is how the whole media has handled this

00:16:34.520 exactly right hogan is doing the same thing he's doing the same thing thoughtful well i didn't

00:16:38.900 i didn't really actually see the details of the legislation but the whole the whole thing seems

00:16:43.520 like uh just uh but you know crazy fight uh i'm not sure it's it concerns me that de santis is always

00:16:50.360 talking about uh you know he was not not demanding that businesses do things but he was you know telling

00:16:55.980 the cruise lines what they had to do he was telling local schools with mandating and now he's he wants

00:17:00.840 to criticize disney for expressing you know how they feel about that uh that bill i mean they have every

00:17:06.480 right to and we have a thing called freedom of speech they can they can come out and say what

00:17:11.060 they think i think the the bill was kind of absurd uh and uh not something that would have happened in

00:17:16.320 our state but you didn't know what he doesn't know what's in it i don't understand how how would you

00:17:21.120 know it's absurd like how do we know katanji brown jackson is the first black female if she doesn't 1.00

00:17:25.540 know what the definition of the word female is the same thing here if you don't know what's in the 0.99

00:17:29.940 bill how do you know it's a joke how do you know it's absurd shouldn't you read it before you

00:17:33.980 call it that though yes at the very least yes shouldn't you have an idea what's in it before

00:17:38.800 you criticize it yes this is not a basic function of your job if you're going to go on television

00:17:44.820 and talk about something shouldn't you know something about it in my estimation the answer

00:17:49.980 to all of those questions stew is yes yes and by the way have have you heard any maybe there are some

00:17:57.180 have you heard any republicans including ronda sanders say that they don't have a right to express 0.94

00:18:01.700 their opinion never of course they do we're criticizing their opinion their opinion's dumb 1.00

00:18:06.040 they have a right to express it it's just stupid and he's doing to ron de santis exactly what he's 0.99

00:18:11.820 accusing ron de santis of doing to disney he's criticizing him for it right he's not taking away 0.97

00:18:16.580 ron de santis's freedom of speech hey he's like de santis didn't take away disney's freedom of speech

00:18:22.820 hogan has a right and uh to be able to express his admittedly for on his own behalf his admittedly

00:18:30.200 uninformed opinion yeah but he has a right to express it i mean he doesn't know what he's

00:18:34.100 talking about at all but he has a right to say the dumb thing he's saying that is that is your

00:18:39.580 right as an american i suppose and framed in the question from dana bash on cnn is the don't say 0.72

00:18:45.620 gay bill people the people who call it that are already setting it up to be a lie you've already 0.96

00:18:53.320 set it up to be something it's not it's not the don't say gay bill that's not what it is it has

00:19:00.140 nothing to do with not saying the word gay it has and yet you cannot find a headline that will call

00:19:08.580 it something else you cannot find a story that will call it anything else it's what i find fascinating

00:19:13.820 about this pat is it's all they all say it's the don't say gay bill right and what what do you always

00:19:20.340 notice about the don't say gay bill when it's in the headlines it's in quotes who are they quoting 0.83

00:19:25.340 they're quoting the gay activists i guess i guess we're marching in saying gay gay gay because they

00:19:35.300 weren't going to be told by florida not to say gay even though florida wasn't telling them not to say 0.91

00:19:42.360 that they always say this they always say well look it's just uh here's the thing uh critics call it

00:19:48.000 that don't say gay but what critics call it where did it come from where did this originate i went back

00:19:53.760 to to trace back the history of this on studios america the other night and went back to the very

00:19:59.680 first tweet that was called this bill the don't say gay bill and it was some obscure organization in

00:20:08.920 florida that supposedly was about reading it was like you know one of these organizations that was

00:20:15.200 saying uh reading is fundamental pat and they wanted to make sure but they didn't read the bill

00:20:22.540 obviously of course they didn't read the bill and also it seems like they really care about reading

00:20:28.240 but only books about being gay when we're being read by children like they don't care about you know

00:20:35.760 a normal uh everyday classic they only care about books that will tell you your kids that they can be

00:20:44.340 gay or change genders or whatever else the thing of the day is uh which is is fascinating and it's some

00:20:51.700 bizarre uh organization it's been promoted heavily by chasen buddha judge the husband of our wonderful

00:20:58.600 labor secretary right um the first don't say gay uh tweet uh goes back to this there's equality florida

00:21:08.020 jumped on the bandwagon very early um and uh another one called the florida freedom to read was the very

00:21:16.620 first one that i could find that talked about this bill in that context and it seems like and this is

00:21:23.260 just bizarre but like all on the same day pat out of nowhere all of these organizations on the same

00:21:30.900 exact day all started calling it the same thing it's so weird that the rainbow democrats the equality

00:21:38.520 democrats uh the florida right to read foundation or whatever the heck it is all these organizations all

00:21:45.500 these random twitter accounts all on the same day all stallard started calling it the same thing

00:21:49.740 interesting isn't it fascinating it's almost as if they coordinated i'm just gonna i'm gonna go out

00:21:56.600 there and say this that's quite a limb to go out on i know and then the media picked it up immediately

00:22:01.820 hook line and sinker just called it the don't say gay bill as we know i mean that you know the details

00:22:05.860 we i'm sure you've been over it a million times on pat gray unleashed and we've talked about it here

00:22:09.540 but it does not stop you from saying gay it does not even stop uh fourth grade teachers from talking

00:22:16.980 to to putting in their curriculum uh stories about gay and gender transition all it does all it does

00:22:26.240 is prevent you from having explicit sexual conversations with kindergartner through third

00:22:32.580 graders and if it's fourth grade and above it needs to be age appropriate so if you're opposing this bill

00:22:39.100 you are outwardly arguing for an inappropriate conversation with children yeah because if

00:22:45.760 it's appropriate it's okay with the bill so the lies have been fast and furious from its inception as

00:22:51.680 you mentioned the don't say gay things started right away the other thing that they started lying about was

00:22:58.700 that teachers then couldn't talk about their gay partners they couldn't even bring them up i can't even

00:23:05.020 i can't i'm scared to death yeah now that i can't even mention my life partner no you can mention

00:23:13.840 your life partner nothing in this bill prevents you from doing that fact it specifically says yeah they

00:23:20.040 went back and put that in the bill so that nobody could claim that and they still claim it they still

00:23:25.580 say it uh you can look at the fact checks on the bill they're like well uh originally it was put in

00:23:29.960 there and some critics believe that for example like a teacher saying they asked some kid asked the

00:23:35.560 teacher what'd you do this weekend and they say oh i was with my you know a woman says oh i was with

00:23:40.040 my wife and we went to the park they could get fired and like the the republicans are like that's not

00:23:45.620 what we're saying all right let's put it in there specifically to make sure you know nobody has that

00:23:51.520 idea you can talk about kayaking with your partner if you want to and again even conversations this is

00:23:57.720 what i mean i think you could really make an argument that this bill does not do what republicans

00:24:02.480 think it does it does not prevent a conversation about uh sexuality or gender with second graders it

00:24:11.980 does not prevent that the only thing it does is prevent it from being in the planned curriculum

00:24:17.020 so they could still have an off-the-cuff conversation about kayaking that leads to by the way your gender

00:24:22.560 could change at any moment kids and that's totally allowed in the bill that's still allowed

00:24:27.360 in florida amazing but it just can't be part of the planned curriculum that is it and it can be

00:24:34.920 part of the planned curriculum with fourth graders and yet disney's opposed to it disney's opposed to

00:24:41.740 it in fact it's their the goal of their company not to make good star wars movies right not to make space

00:24:49.880 mountain not to embrace mickey mouse or just make a lot of money yep that's not even the goal apparently

00:24:56.000 nope it is not to make kids happy right but to overturn this law in florida that's the goal of

00:25:03.440 their company according to the company so obviously desantis ron desantis uh fighting against that

00:25:09.780 uh and larry hogan from maryland slamming him for it when he hasn't even read the bill which leads you

00:25:18.160 to believe larry hogan is going to run for president you hit on it pat he's i mean he wants to run for

00:25:22.780 president that's incredible to me he can be the sensible republican who comes out who can win

00:25:29.340 over democratic voters and moderate voters in the primary and have some path now this path does

00:25:34.360 anybody even know who he is no outside of maryland i will say he's he gets he gets on msnbc a lot he

00:25:40.520 gets on nbc a lot he gets on cnn he talks you know he's the acceptable republican to the left because

00:25:45.880 he disagrees with republicans all the time yeah they like him like they like mitt romney yeah yes uh he is

00:25:51.560 among the most popular governors in america too uh which is you know again impressive for a

00:25:57.360 republican in maryland just approval rating there 70 no 70 in maryland wow which is now that is not

00:26:05.240 the highest approval rating it's interesting the the most popular governors in america are one all

00:26:13.440 republicans and two all in deep blue states that's a weird phenomenon yeah but it's it's not the first

00:26:22.180 time this isn't the first year that's happened no hogan's been very popular ongoing for a while yeah

00:26:26.540 look there's an argument to be made right for there's a i'm not saying that i would support this

00:26:32.600 argument but there's a political argument to be made that larry hogan is a candidate that you might

00:26:36.840 want he's a guy who can win in blue states he can win over moderate voters probably and if you have

00:26:42.700 uh conservatives who are faced with a choice between larry hogan and joe biden the overwhelming

00:26:47.360 majority of them are going to go with hogan because for the love of heaven please don't present me

00:26:51.320 with that choice don't do that to me republican voters don't want this and because we have a

00:26:55.560 primary system in this country there's no path for larry hogan i don't think yeah i i don't think i

00:27:02.220 mean his best opportunity would be as a real contrast to someone like donald trump he sees though that

00:27:07.900 ronda sandis might be his competition so he's going to try to attack him early and get out ahead of

00:27:12.640 that um the three most popular governors in america uh number three is larry hogan 70 number

00:27:18.220 two charlie baker republican massachusetts 72 number one have you even i do you have any guesses

00:27:26.940 and i gave you a an opening here but i don't think i would have ever guessed i don't i know it's a blue

00:27:33.680 state yes i will give you obviously it's a state that also really loves bernie sanders quite a bit

00:27:38.320 uh wow really vermont i was gonna say vermont vermont but i couldn't tell you who right

00:27:44.120 the guy's name a republican phil scott is the of course phil scott that's right an approval rating

00:27:50.440 of 79 oh my gosh let me give you the breakdown of phil scott this is wild phil scott's approval

00:27:58.440 rating overall 79 yeah among republicans 75 my among independents he 75 among democrats

00:28:14.780 88 has to be higher right a republican in vermont has an 88 approval rating among democrats

00:28:24.520 wow that is wild wow the best of the glenn beck program

00:28:29.600 so uh joe biden's approval rating not getting any better in fact uh his approval rating the combined

00:28:41.720 real clear politics average now shows him at 41 that's incredibly low uh especially for this

00:28:50.500 at this point of his presidency for the average of all the polls the real clear politics uh features

00:28:57.840 uh 41 you are way underwater 53.8 so almost 54 disapprove then i guess the rest are i don't know

00:29:08.280 they're a bunch of jeffies i don't know so uh while biden tries to pin all of his problems on putin

00:29:19.060 or the pandemic or donald trump i don't think the american people are buying it and uh there are

00:29:27.740 a bunch of democrat strategists who spoke to the hill because we're only seven months away from the

00:29:34.960 november midterms now and some of them are well all of them are really concerned that the democrats are

00:29:40.860 going to get a bloodbath one of them said uh we're going to be slaughtered in november it's quite an

00:29:47.660 admission from a democratic strategist no name attached to that one i said no no right though

00:29:52.820 this is clearly what they believe i mean they this is this is what's going on behind the scenes they

00:29:58.120 know they're in real trouble i keep saying you cannot overestimate the chances that the republicans

00:30:05.960 will blow this somehow you can't it's just it should be the easiest win in the history of elections

00:30:14.880 it should will they screw this up they might it's very possible so i would you know i could see

00:30:21.120 we've seen it too many times yeah i could really see a situation where they they maybe win the house

00:30:25.720 and then blow the senate somehow certainly possible and that would be a big one because of potential

00:30:30.420 supreme court nominees and such that would be a big one it would still allow them to block a lot of

00:30:36.440 the stuff in the house but the supreme court nominees would that would not prevent them we'll see

00:30:40.920 we're going to go through the um an election preview of sorts for the first time this week

00:30:45.220 i think on studios america uh because i you know kind of set the stage as to where we are what it looks

00:30:50.660 like and what is in the future what what do you think the what do you think the reasoning is for why

00:30:56.560 they believe it's going to be an electoral bloodbath in 2022 um i think there's several factors one is

00:31:02.600 inflation two gas prices uh the botched afghanistan withdrawal um pretty bad i mean pretty much

00:31:11.480 everything as one of the strategists put it who's he's the one who's unnamed he said it's bad you have

00:31:19.360 an energy crisis that's paralyzing and inflation is in a 40 40 year high and we're heading into a

00:31:27.680 recession the problem the problem is simple the american people have lost confidence in joe biden

00:31:33.960 everyone needs to come to terms with the reality that we're going to get slaughtered in november

00:31:39.020 that's a fact biden's polling has gotten worse not better it's indicative of the fact that people

00:31:44.520 have lost confidence in his leadership there's nothing they're going to be able to do that's a big

00:31:51.080 statement that is a big statement i think part of it too is these are issues that one the

00:31:57.680 smack you in the face and two you can't spin your way out of you can't spin your way out of

00:32:03.360 inflation he's been trying to do that yeah he's been trying to blame it on everybody under the sun

00:32:07.900 except him yeah you just can't do it though it doesn't work you can't say hey those gas prices are

00:32:13.680 somebody else's fault you know i i filled up my car today 70 to fill up my car now i don't have a suv

00:32:20.740 i have a sedan yeah 70 my last two phillips have been 93 and 90 93 and 90 and it's just a four-door

00:32:28.820 sedan it's incredible yeah it's incredible and you know and people in california now are like oh man

00:32:34.860 what i would do to pay only 90 to fill up my tank right now that'd be incredible you know it is and

00:32:42.160 this is hitting everybody it doesn't just hit conservatives it hits everybody and it's hard to

00:32:47.260 deny when number one the prices were going up before putin number two you have a role in the

00:32:53.400 putin situation i mean like you your actions taken beforehand did not help the afghanistan thing did

00:33:01.000 not help uh your statement that a minor incursion might not be a big deal did not help uh you know

00:33:08.180 did you stop you got all you're you're bragging about all your intelligence and you were right on

00:33:13.080 them invading what'd you do with that information did it work what you chose to do didn't do anything

00:33:18.960 that was positive and you couldn't keep that straight with the rest of your administration

00:33:22.540 either because everybody else was calling it a deterrent yep and then he's saying it was

00:33:27.100 absolutely nobody thought it was a deterrent just embarrassing everybody around you said it was

00:33:33.240 so people see these prices go up and they see the answer to this which is i don't know go buy a

00:33:38.900 70 000 electric car or something now i recently as i mentioned yeah pat uh i have there's been some

00:33:47.460 supply chain issues i don't know if you noticed this no i ordered a car uh now seven months ago plus

00:33:53.720 and still do not seven months seven months wow and i'm a couple weeks away from my eight month

00:33:59.160 anniversary uh and i actually just i actually did get contacted by the dealership recently

00:34:04.520 and they said hey what if we order your car without a bunch of the features you wanted

00:34:10.060 how do you feel about that uh and i was like no honestly at this point maybe put it in without

00:34:17.240 some of the features and let's see what happens and i at least i'd have something to as an interim

00:34:21.940 yeah situation i at this point i don't know what to do but i was looking around at a bunch of

00:34:26.220 different things and uh i was looking at one you know and i've talked about this before some of

00:34:31.540 these electric cars are really cool like i'm not against electric cars no me neither as we talked

00:34:35.400 about a lot of people especially on the conservative side these days seem to like elon musk quite a bit

00:34:39.300 which is an interesting transition what's happened to his he was the darling of the left for a zillion

00:34:45.000 years and now all of a sudden the left hates him and he's a darling of the right i don't know how

00:34:50.020 this happens so into climate change he's trying to find us a whole nother planet yeah a planet to

00:34:55.200 escape he's building spaceships to escape climate change but he's a right-wing figure all of a sudden

00:35:00.420 right anyway so he builds teslas which are really great cars and they're really really fast and some

00:35:08.000 of these other cars are really fast as well i was looking at one of them and the first of all if you

00:35:14.820 want to have a rational relationship with this car you have to put in uh an industrial electrical

00:35:21.640 outlet you know like the or like the one you have for your washer and dryer you need another one of

00:35:26.060 those to even have a chance to make this sensible if you do that you can charge it overnight so

00:35:30.980 eight to ten hours of charge it's too long car gets 200 miles yeah about 200 miles per charge for

00:35:37.060 full charge for me okay if you plug it in your normal outlet it takes three days three days to

00:35:43.740 charge there are three fast chargers three in the entire dallas fort worth metroplex three and how fast

00:35:51.700 are they they are fast if you're near one but again i don't live within a half an hour of any of

00:35:57.720 these things they're all at the fringes of town so if you were driving to let's say austin you might

00:36:02.860 stop on your way and and and and you can fill up i think about 20 to 30 minutes that's not bad which

00:36:08.420 is not bad i mean again you know you stop at a gas station it's going to be five minutes but you

00:36:12.460 probably walk in you maybe you know it's not terrible you can live with 20 to 30 minutes as long as

00:36:17.700 that's constantly improving i mean you don't want to get any longer than that yeah but two hours or

00:36:22.680 10 hours completely unacceptable to me at least yeah and if you plug let's just say you plug it

00:36:27.880 if you plugged it in in your outlet at home and you when you got home at you know seven o'clock at

00:36:32.480 night and you took it out seven o'clock in the morning when you leave for work and it could charge

00:36:36.520 all the way up you might say i can deal with that for most of the time right like that's not bad

00:36:41.360 but not only are you paying seventy thousand dollars for an electric car i think the average is 55 000

00:36:46.780 there are some like the nissan leaf is cheaper than that obviously a lot of the teslas are more

00:36:51.700 the porsche ticons a lot more but you can go and you can find a car that is pretty you know that'll

00:36:57.920 cost a lot of money with these things but even if you get a nissan leaf if you want it to be

00:37:01.700 rational to be able to charge it you have to spend a couple thousand dollars putting in a faster charger

00:37:08.520 in your garage so how just the extra charger you put in your garage is going to wipe out the

00:37:14.680 increased gas prices over an entire year at least yeah this is it's irrational it is and what people

00:37:21.180 see is wait a minute my gas prices have been going up my electricity electricity prices are going up

00:37:25.520 and the only thing i ever hear from these guys is not let's let's expand production let's not make it

00:37:30.640 you know let's not get off of russian oil and iranian oil and saudi arabian oil let's just all go green

00:37:38.000 and spend three times as much on electricity and on the vehicle itself well what this is not

00:37:44.900 no one this is a now problem this is not a 2050 problem it is a now problem and people are getting

00:37:52.220 killed right now on this and you can't spin your way out of it and i think all this also applies to

00:37:56.480 things like the gender stuff the crt stuff the you know the trying to talk about sex with your

00:38:04.520 second graders at school all this smacks people across the face it's not a nuanced issue let me

00:38:10.740 make you an argument as to why lowering the minimum wage would make sense economically it's not that

00:38:17.100 argument conservatives a lot of times get bogged down in that type of argument which is i think

00:38:22.020 really important but also difficult to win over voters easily you know the minimum wage is a very

00:38:28.740 popular issue because the emotion behind it is of course people who are hard working every day

00:38:34.500 people trying to make their way working as a as a at a role that might not be paying it a lot of

00:38:39.820 course they should get more money that would be great and that's an easy emotional argument the

00:38:44.720 economic argument is much more complicated and winds up affecting the economy in a bunch of different

00:38:49.920 ways which is why the conservative position is correct but with leah thomas there's no need to 1.00

00:38:54.960 argue those things what is a woman i don't do i need to answer that if you don't freaking know what a 0.98

00:39:00.760 woman is why are we even talking to you and that is not what just conservatives are saying right now 1.00

00:39:06.720 i think a lot of moderate voters i think even some democratic voters are saying wait a minute i want

00:39:12.900 i don't want people to hate others i don't want people to be discriminated against but you don't know 0.98

00:39:18.800 what a woman is what the hell is wrong with you ridiculous i think that's a big thing right now i think 1.00

00:39:24.640 moderate democratic voters people who are you know we talked about larry hogan earlier the larry 0.99

00:39:30.840 hogan republicans who might not consider normally a guy who's really conservative are saying wait a

00:39:37.260 minute i can't we can't be that we can't say that a guy standing there in a woman's bathing suit 0.97

00:39:44.100 with his junk hanging out is a good female swimmer can we be honest here we all see this right 1.00

00:39:52.620 and when do we start throwing women under the bus when is it okay that you don't consider their 1.00

00:39:58.740 feelings or their skill set or the fact that they've been working on this their entire lives

00:40:03.680 to get to where they are in in swimming or skiing or we've also got the bicycling thing that's been up

00:40:11.160 lately and we don't even care about any of that i mean title nine when it was passed in what 72

00:40:18.960 it changed college sports forever there were a lot of men's sports that were eliminated so that you

00:40:28.680 could accommodate women in colleges and so things like soccer went out the window uh lacrosse and and 1.00

00:40:36.820 hockey and and a bunch of sports that men played at these universities went right out the window

00:40:41.920 um and now we're throwing the women out the window so that you've got 0.7 percent of the population that 1.00

00:40:51.280 can compete against them it doesn't make any sense to a lot of people to most people i hope i hope we're

00:40:58.000 still at the point where common sense prevails uh on this and you know that there are biological

00:41:03.280 differences between men and women and if you got a biological man claiming to be a woman he shouldn't 0.99

00:41:09.780 he shouldn't be competing against biological women uh hopefully we're smart enough still as a society to

00:41:16.880 to understand that

00:41:18.440 you
