so Joe Biden is taking a very different approach to foreign policy than the former President Donald Trump token. We sort of have like one of our first big, for in policy conflicts to talk about. There has been a little bit of Joe Biden talking about and around China Policy and tariffs and the like, but now it's Putin how its Russia and things are very quickly getting interesting and unfortunately, anytime. I touch this issue. I have to give some disclaimers which are given a moment, but the question is what's going on well, what's going on is that during the oh call with russian President Vladimir Putin. Yesterday Joe Biden

issued a warning, and the warning said in very simple terms- is: do not invade Ukraine or we're going to hit you with very strong, economic sanctions, economic sanctions- and this is one of the first really major foreign policy events of its kind with Joe Biden, Donald Trump made a really big show out of bragging about how he would deal with adversarial foreign leaders with Putin is mostly kid gloves Kim Jong own. It was falling for the obvious meaningless platitudes and promises that we ve gotten from every north korean leader recently, and thinking he accomplished. Something, and you know we can look at the full list of those relationships wealth for Joe Biden. It seems as though it's going to go a little bit differently now. The context here, if you ve not been found looking at is that: U S, intelligence is determined.

Russia has mast what they believe to be. Seventy thousand troops near the border with Ukraine and up here's to be making preparations for an invasion may be as soon as early in twenty twenty. Two now up, Here's to be making preparations is not just technically accurate It actually, maybe the entire point, which is to gauge what the reaction is going to be of other major powers, but we're gonna get to that. Ukrainian officials are saying Russia's sending tanks. they're sending snipers they're trying to provoke return fire. Air to then justify a full invasion. That's the position of ukrainian authorities now, I need to make my disclaimers. I know that Ninety percent of my audience- I don't have to say this- I have to say it for ten percent of my audience, but if I don't my inbox, becomes a health scape I am telling you what Joe Biden

is saying to Vladimir Putin. I am not jesting war with Russia, I am cheerleading war with Russia. I dont want WAR with Russia. Do not email me saying David why're, you such a neo con Harry list that you want war with Russia. Trump wanted to get along. Why why why David I am not saying that. Please, don't email me that now in the call the bullet fears that Biden said if you invade Ukraine we're gonna, hurt your economy, a potent expected to ask for a guarantee from Joe Biden that the NATO military alliance will never involve Ukraine. Ukraine wants membership in that shared defence alliance. Putin doesn't want that now in dance of the CALL Whitehouse Pay, Secretary General Saki, put out a statement where she said quote: we ve concern. Did significantly with our allies and believe we have a plan forward that would

pose significant and severe harm on the russian economy. You can call that a threat. You can call that a fact You can call that preparation. You can call whatever you want to call it, that was Jed Saki on Monday, so listen. This is not going to go the way it went under Trump. This is going to be different. By is not going to fly to Finland meet with Putin do Ass conference where he says I dont know. I asked Putin if they hack dozen denied it very strongly. Ok I don't know, Putin said his troops aren't really massing at the border. They're just passing by on a sight, seeing tour doubt when I made up the first one happened under Trump that last, when I made up that's going to be the way it is under Joe Biden. This Does it mean we want war with Russia? Doesn't me we want Biden starting to drone Russia boots on the ground or any of the stuff?

It's also important to understand that Putin has done this before and it's not a guarantee that necessarily plans to invade or wants to embed invade. He is called. slightly gauging reactions, Putin is not stupid. Putin is actually a brilliant guy in his own way and he's gauging reaction. You so chaos he's creating fusion and massing. The troops at the border may not be a plan to invade. I think the key part here is There are some people on the pro trump right who are saying by Trump site Putin would never invade? Obviously, that's not true. History tells us, that's not true. What could be true? Is that Putin does not intend to invade this particular time and is trying to see what kind of reaction he can get one. slide on this one it'll.

Interesting to see how Putin react to bite and warning. In other words, if this is A trial balloon What? If anything, will Joe Biden warning due to dissuade Putin or not that's number one, and then number two I gotta You emails from people in the audience. Thinking along the same lines, which is, is it possible that Russia, and China are coordinating on you. Crane and Taiwan respectively to do action? at the same time, not not working together, but the timing, coordinate in order to really see if and when the? U S and NATO are going to do it's a very. trusting speculation, I don't at this point we have evidence that that's actually what's going on, but like everything else we're going to watch it, and it will be very interesting to see what that means. Quite frankly, this is the first kind of adversarial foreign policy test for Joe Biden, major one anyway of his presidency, so

we'll watch it always curious to know your thoughts So yesterday we talked about Doktor, Anthony vouches recent statement that again we always want to be clear not to overplay our hand, doktor found she on Monday said, which I told you about sturdy annexed little early data points. In a general way towards mccrone the new covert variant probably causing On average lesson your disease. That's like a lot of hedging in and caveats, but that sort of where our knowledge is at this point in time we have another slightly stronger statement from Doktor Factory, which I'm going to get to in a moment. But first I will redress something many of you have been telling me about saying David, Sir, Why is it if crime is less severe. That cases are speaking now

cases and severity are two different things, but the first. Should we have to answer to even do this is answer the question our cases spiking and if so, are they What cried spikes or not? Let's start with the numbers, are cases. Spy yes, very, very much so insane numbers in the United dates. Cases are now up to about two hundred and seventeen thousand per day. They were down to seventy two thousand per day in their their recent bottom? Now, one hundred and seventeen thousand per day, that's a huge income. nearly two thirds increase. Sixty three percent higher cases per day in the U S, this thing is happening globally. Where cases spiked, from a low of about four thousand a day, still a crazy number up to six hundred and eleven thousand cases per day. That's an increase of fifty two percent globally. So our case spiking. Without a doubt,

Way way way up, it's not, the cases that are speaking Specializations are also way up in the union. states we now about six thousand. new hospitalizations for per day. We been down to about twenty five hundred at one point over the summer, but the key question it is This is a sign of alma crime spreading wildly and putting people in the hospital and so far, the answer is no, it appear, that, while a higher percentage, of new cases are almost run higher. higher overtime, the current spike in cases is being driven by the Delta variant and the rise in hospitals, nations. Definitely being driven by the delta variant per some. analyses now on all the crowd. We also heard from doktor found she again and doktor found is now speaking with. Some more certainty, so

We more definitiveness who says that it you take weeks to know for sure, but early indications suggest that the severity of all crime. Cases is no worse than previous strains, possibly milder, which would be very welcome. The not so good. It spread like Wildfire Ryan, Factions appear to be higher, but on severity. Doktor found she sang it all. most certainly is not more severe than delta. Now, still, if it's as severe and more contagious. It's not a big victory and it's going to take more time to determine the specific we are also getting more and more anecdotes about just how easily or micron spreads. Last week I spoke with Nick fiscal status and he talked about this anecdote which he said he's up. Is it's an important anecdote about?

to travellers quarantining in Hong Kong, one opened the door for room service. And then another across the hall who later opened the door caught the virus. Now, as Nicholas Christine Cosette, could have It not have been how we caught it. There could be. More to that, but as an anecdote, pretty pretty horrifying stuff other anecdotes. Stay. Nine of a hundred and fifty participants at a danish Christmas Party have now tested positive for all right about half not have The attendees, nearly seventy intensive care medics at a spanish hospital now have covered after across this party, not yet totally clear if that's pomegranate, so we want Oh my crime, to be milder. It clearly, very contagious. And we're going to have to keep waiting to get definitive information, but the hope would be Equally or slightly more contagious but drama

equally less severe, particularly there's going to be immune evasion that would be sort the ideal outcome and remember over time, evolutionary pressure for these viruses is more transmissible, less veer to the point where could it be in a year every two years gotta be five years are no five years is more depressing, but it could be a very kind. age is called in stinguished ball from the average had called in terms of severity. That is the trajectory to sort of hope or at this point in time and how long it will take to become a reality is in that we do not yet have an answer to. Let me know your thoughts and maybe maybe just as importantly, find me Twitter. It department- and let me know Are you now doing something differently base on? Oh mccrone bay,

Coup has already begun, and the article is by Barton, Gilman and Barton's main argument. that January Sixth was essentially practice, it was a dry run of new

techniques and tactics to subvert an election An Gilman says that now Donald trumps G Opie, whether tromp himself is part of it or not, and that's a really important thing. Whether or not Trump is part of trumps GEO. P They are now much better positioned to subvert the next election, Gilman points out among a number of important things that the next who is likely to look a lot less like a coup, and this is what so dangerous and pernicious about it. And it's really like, if you, if you have one, take away from this story, it's the coup, he's going to look a lot less like a coup. If You can make the coup attempt not look like one. It is way more likely to succeed and its way more likely to raise eyebrows and ruffle feathers. After that many twenty election.

and even in the lead up we're tromp was already talking about. I might not accept the results etc. Trumps actions looked like a coup attempt. the January. Sixty insurrection blue. Molly looked like a coup attempt Trump trying to strong arm my pants obvious coup attempt, but the next one might not so obviously, look like a coup. I tried it in twenty twenty in a play. damn brazen way. But after seeing what works and what didn't work now, they are in a position to be able to set up the next attempt. So Lee more surreptitiously Their setting up systems to have partisan control over which ballots are counted and which ballots are thrown out their creating partisan, mechanisms to sir Fi or reject election results on the basis of party lines,

and his Gilman rights in the Atlantic and re read. The article were linking to it. It's very good. They driving out or stripping power from election officials who refuse to go along with the coup attempt from last November. In December and January I mean the attempt really lasted quite a long time and remember that even their legal arguments failed and twenty twenty they had those dozens of court challenges. They were thrown out, but they are fine. Fine tuning or calibrating. I guess we could say that legal aspects as well. To have better shot. If next time they use slightly less crazy legal arguments and they have slow Lee more right, leaning, judges that get to decide Maybe they actually get something done. So that's the behind the scenes. Now the plain view. Peace is an important part.

it's, not just what you do behind the scenes. It's what's the public Attitude to what you're doing, we are continuing to hammer publicly on people with the salt can't be trusted, anybody might have won. The results are secure. The claim of fraud or generally true, the idea. There is: u fine tune the mechanisms behind the scenes. You create a public believes. You can't trust the results, your much more likely to set yourself up for some level of success, both by having the tactics in place, and by having as much of the population is possible in a state of mind where they say I don't really know who one let him do it? Let them do that because it's not even really clear who won Is there so much fraud you create? public more willing to accept a reversal. on the basis of suppose it fraud.

And meanwhile you work the systems that will actually allow you to. Do it hoping enough look the other way, and this is why I continue to insist that need twenty big lie and the insurrection it's a horror, not just what it was on the merits, but it's a whole. for what it might open the door to in the future. Because I don't want to say, see almost worked, but it closer to having an impact, then we would like to see- and I hate to say this, because it's really scary- I don't, that Joe Biden and the current state of Democrats are really set up to fight it. Saying there incapable, but they dont say to either be paying it attention or be willing enough to really do what it takes. There's, not enough public awareness here about the fact that this is not it's not like We try to coup in twenty twenty. We didn't get it. That's it now we're going to try to win on policy right,

That's not what they're doing there are not enough safeguards being put in place to counter what Publicans have done in the last year and quite frankly, mean You could even go back and say what happened in two thousand and Bush of Gore with the Supreme Court. Catherine Harris Florida that should have been. It was. I mean it should have been a signal that they are going to do it again. and they're going to try harder and harder and they are. going to try to win not by getting more votes by earned votes their goal. to try to do it with voters. Suppression gerrymandering and now this new level, which is just saying we want in trying to sue their way into office, the left may partially be weaker, but so the left is not even playing the same game that the right given up on governance, and policy completely Dave. Up unconvincing voters What we offer is better and we can prove it

They certainly will say what we offer is better because their offering communism, which is a lie, but they are about cultural issues, thereabout owning the lips. There about winning by gerrymandering and cheating everything they do. Is done with the next action in mind. How can we take the next election disappear to voters as well during Bush and Obama Republic would say using them. whatever is good. Your alpha if you want to send the military here and there and Bush good because he did it in Obama's bad because he's not doing under Trump. It then became will now. War is bad where's that Chile will get us into wars. Vote trunk because or is now about us, Biden getting out of hand stand, goes back to being bad from, would have done it better. He would have them later or earlier differently, better This is the asymmetry problem that I have pointed out that they, operating in a completely different way and its even more noticeable going forward. Outlet

talk a little bit about something. We discussed quite a bit over the last three to four months. I've been talking to you the growing rift within the Republican Party, this sort of civil war, as were calling it, which has firstly been from Republicans versus slightly less bonkers, Republicans people like Cheney. I'm Kensington Mitt Romney and some others and I have also said before, the rope Blake and civil war is good for the left. The left should encourage it. Let's help along the republican civil war, let's weapon eyes, republican civil war against them to any extent that we can We now have a new participant in the civil war who seems- be trying to play both sides. We ve not seen this before and I, talking about republican congressmen, Dan Crenshaw damn cruncher, who has put out very confused, ex about socialism, indifferent things he seen.

smart enough to realise that he knew to figure out a way to play both sides on this republican civil war. He is actually hugely programme on Paul. Which is hilarious because it's like what policy, but ok during the A presidency Crenshaw defended trumps, covert policy, totally abortive policy crunch, defended it trumps. Eddie like Second, arctic policy, Crenshaw city like prompts economic policy, but he's big under theatricals he's not begun. Cartoonish notary of the right, or at least not as big well Crenshaw, spoke the Texas Liberty Alliance- and he did something it's very interesting. He trashed the cartoonish pro trop people by saying there drifter They didn't actually vote with Trump as much as I did. I being Crenshaw, and it's sort of like treading water, so check out this clip and now understand that when Crenshaw about the Freedom caucus he's too

talking about Marjorie tailored Green Mo Brooks Paul goes our Lui Gomer Jim Jordan, those types of cookie for cocoa, Puffs Republican, take a look around worries race. front runners Eliza three years time. As legislators? one thing worthy Serbia has slogans real, well Saint, lies lawyer, behaviors the first two years All when every single trumps agenda this morning

You were right about this I don't need you to recognize her at the top of that way. really will lead Niagara whose number two Let us all Why are you here so often through its nice room. We'll renders mass, here in this room Why lie like those we exerted conservative art. Worry less. Whether a freeze on us, So that is super interesting, first of all, Crenshaw straight up, says these people go. and the good her elk these are.

performance: artists in drifters, ok, fair! so Crenshaw must be an anti trump Republican right wrong. He is criticising them as drifters because they perform and they do the theatrical but at the end of the day they are not actually pro trump enough in terms of how they vote. He says they should be more truly oh trump, by actually supporting more of Trans policies back what Donald Trump as president, and He says: hey, you know who does Adam Kensington, Kensington good. So then you might say if you ve been following the way the battle lines have been drawn. You might say: well that's a big attack on the truck people, because among republic, since there has been no bigger critic of Trump. then Adam Kensington right. Well, no, not really big. Crenshaw is saying: kins. Anger is good because he supports Trump, more often then these freedom carcass people based on voting so there's

We take a ways here: they're all important number one Crenshaw is smart enough to recognise the rift. And he short of trying to play both sides for now, because its clear what the future of the Republican Party is in twenty twenty two and twenty twenty four. Is it be in republican Party in the coming election year and in twenty twenty four or is it not? So that's one thing that that he's doing or to the civil war, is real and it should be encouraged, because this is exactly the type of confusion that can create factions, we're republic. its damage themselves, and we should welcome the enemy to the extent that the left is stinking it up, let's encourage the right to screw themselves if we can and third- and this is really the key- and I've told you this before the so called anti Trump Republicans list, Cheney, Adam Kensington, etc. They still mostly supported everything Trump did they simply. Think Joe Biden, one in twenty twenty

These are not our friends. These are. still republican nuts, who accept The election results with training sets trumpeted something wrong with Ukraine. Still voted with Trump. Almost all the time and what's happened is that the boy it has been so lowered that it can be. Tricky to remember these are still extremists write it Cheney is basically Dick Cheney. Politically, We saw Dick Cheney accurately as in NEO Con Cook, when he the vice president Liz Cheney, more or less, under the same republican umbrella. As Dick Cheney. Now seems so much more reasonable because she said Trump lost. The or is so low. They say one or two things that are true and we got. These are good people, These are not our friends. These are not our allies and let's not get confused and believe that they are we're going to have more on this, and you can send us your comments on our

Instagram find us at David Packing, show on Instagram, and if you want to see a really wacky hate mail, I got yesterday I follow me on Instagram, at David DOT, Pachmann site It has shown us that lowering your body temperature at night helps you sleep. I can't sleep in a hot room. That's why I love our sponsor Chile. Sleep which makes customizable climate controlled sleep solutions to sleep better. Their flagship products are the Uller sleep system and the cube sleep system, which is what I have both are hydro powered temperature, controlled luxury, mattress pads. You can make them as cold as fifty five degrees Fahrenheit. If you wanted you could go, is hot is a hundred and fifty degrees. I like the cooler option. I keep mine at sixty degrees and it gives me a great cool night of sleep, no feeling hot, no more sweating, I'm falling asleep.

faster and at Paris perfectly with Chile. Sleeps waited Chile blanket which keeps you called on top to right. Now, Chile, sleep is running a special sale. You'll get thirty percent off everything. When you go to Chile, sleep, dot, com, slash, Pachmann, that's c h, I l, I S. L e p, dot com, Slash Pachmann, the it is in the podcast notes, so this you absolutely have to see it, and I want to make sure I set this up for you. So you understand the full scope of this months ago. We started seeing this partisan gap uncovered and The covert rates were higher and from counties fertilisation were higher deaths. Gone now almost three times higher in the heavy trump account, he's really bad places to be recovered. And maybe some other ways compare- to the Big Biden counties huge huge gap, and I don't know if you guys remember, but I jokingly said

how soon are they going to start saying, is, its suspicious that got all these on vaccinated trumps supporters getting cold, it is, it's suspicious, that this is taking place and, of course, reason would be simple. Well, the vaccine protects you do that. Seen protects you to some degree from infection and protects you to a greater degree from serious illness, hospitalization and death. It was a joke. I joked that we would hear that but you can't joke about it anymore, because the joy has become a reality right, Right, rightwing, broadcaster, Stew, Peters, has the flu or covert he's not saying it seems he doesn't know, is probably not even going to get tested and he is actually saying I have because it was a targeted attack, they are targeting people we,

call, flew and covered as a weapon to punish them for not getting vaccinated, apparently a lead. Check out the clip you'll notice at first, it's like almost too much for his gas Deanna, Lorraine, but then she could we falls in line with the insanity and even at her own craziness. You ve gotta, see this that wouldn't be surprised if the so called cold the virus, do that. I have right now was a targeted attack on media to speculate that some of that might be going on as well a targeted attacks, yeah. I mean absolutely like the bio weapon being released on you this this socio hath tony faulty when he Chimerical engineered this taxpayer funded lead originated intentionally released will on China virus. I mean that can probably be used against. People automatically mean people. Publicans conservatives talk, show host people the target with this virus right, I mean: don't you think, of paint the hundred per time. This paint the picture about all

Stu Peters got the corona virus. He did it to himself because he's not fascinated exactly a hundred percent. I mean we talked about last week with the World Economic Forum, launching this bubble gun that you can do use point a gun, biggest baseline. Someone gets a vaccine, I'm sure that they have the power to. You know target somebody to get covered. All of them. very prominent Republicans and people who have been outspoken against vaccines past. Et Cetera. Suddenly they come down with a bad case of covert. It makes the news you know: Anti back, Sir Anti Masker pastor comes down covert. It's all just especially- and I absolutely think people are being target well, then we will have to try harder than this, because this thing, whatever I have as weak as hell stronger than I gotta I gotta, what a little bit of a Duffy knows now and a little bit of a scratchy throat look D. Do she's literally sang a g saying it's fishes these people, they speak out against vaccines before you know it they have covered it must be

Someone is infecting them on purpose. Folks, That's how it works this is the absolute epitome of the unfair so viable argument, if you don't vaccinated and you get covered it's not because you were on vaccinated and totally unprotected it speak they infected you as a punishment. The weapon Ized virus B, cause you didn't get vaccinated that an argument that cannot be defeated with facts or reason, because they, reason their way into it. Now all Oh it's funny that I mean the intellect. Quite frankly who the hell Stu Peters is Peter so important that anyone would even bother do in fact, him deliberately like who cares that do Peters, is against vaccines, Why would you even go and try to in fact him and that's another aspect of conspiratorial thinking that is very self centered It assumes a level of self importance

goes beyond any common sense or reason. You simply aren't that important a player in this whole thing and sometimes what pushes people we ve been at this point. How much are we what about conspiracies him and conspiratorial thinking a time in their so many aspects to this guy, ability in all these different things. Often times when, when you believe you are a player in the whole thing. the delusion that you see yourself as so important as one of seven eight billion people on this planet. There Clearly they would be targeting you were paying attention to what you're saying it's really white simple. She caught virus against she wasn't vaccinated, it might be covered and he seems to me have gone the covert vaccine, it might be flu, I'm guessing, he also doesn't get the flu vaccine. That's it. he's at a higher risk because he did yet vaccinated and it got. There is no big mystery here.

but it always has to be more complicated, partially by putting himself for the centre of this grand Pharisee. And they are so close to getting it. I mean you know: Deanna Lorraine, she actually says All these on vaccinated people are getting sick, well, apply outcomes razor maybe it's because the vaccine really does protect. You know she has to stop shorter. That and instead go with the more complicated explanation. The young. Accelerated people, people are being targeted, by those who have weapon eyes. The virus as a punishment not falling in line with vaccination and, as I dont remember who it was now what is it Peter but go. I remember who came up with this year I'm gonna reason your way out of a book if you didn't reason your way into and we're not gonna reason people out of beliefs that data they didn't reason their ways into their. Into an that's exactly what is happening with Stew, Peters right here

the mid term elections season for twenty twenty two is likely to start earlier than ever time around. I was talking to our Youtube. Rep recently- and he said Expect interest in these twenty I two midterms just start see more serious campaigning and interest on Youtube. As early as spring of next year, rather than more like early summer, and there are some really good reasons why we would expect that not only are. They are increasingly interesting points regular races to look at pleading. The Texas we're notorious election were better work is running Pennsylvania Senate. We now have this quack cure promoter, Doktor, Mehmet OZ. We also have you, fishermen running on the democratic side. Ok, that's interesting! So we ve got listing race is starting to fill the dark it, but the stakes are extremely high in terms of who controls the House and Senate.

Starting in January of twenty twenty three and we go through a long list of reasons that this is important, including to what gray, Republicans will be able to stonewall anything Joe Biden tries to do they. They ve been partially stonewalling everything so far. They might compete we stonewall everything if they take control of the house but made just, as importantly, is the reality that the current report Can party is accurate than it has ever been and among their goals. Is this simmering idea? of making Donald Trump Speaker of the house. If they take control of the House of Representatives in November. Now you might be saying whoa whoa, stop the clock. David Trump isn't running, for a house. how could it be the speaker you may or may not know. One does not have to be a member of the House of Representatives to be speak? of the house were out I'll talk to row. Conor about this. When we haven't back on the show soon, there

we can vote for anybody. If the house decides they want me to be speaker of the house, I could be, bigger of the house and started months ago. There was this idea, which was mentioned on Steve, abandons bizarre programme, installing Donald Trump, a speaker of the house, even without him being a member of the House of Representatives, impeaching Joe Biden and then Donald Trump, preside over the vote to impeach Joe Biden in the house. beleaguered radical republican congressmen that gates is really into this idea. Start back in July. He started. talking about if we win in twenty two we- We'll make Donald Trump Speaker of the house and at the time it seems that it might have just been a publicity ploy to fundraiser get attention maybe raise money for his legal defence fund, but Matt Gates mentioned it again in August and he mentioned it again yesterday- senior Whitehouse corresponded for Yahoo news. Alexander Nazariev, published

between about this same quote, Matt Gates, just told me at a press conference that if Republicans when the house in twenty two he will move to install Trump as house speaker, so there are really three questions here. Question one is Matt Gate serious. He appears to be second question: would Republicans actually nominate trump to be speaker of the house if they took control and the third question is, if nominated, would Republicans overall? Actually, To make Donald Trump Speaker of the house, the answer the first two questions are pretty simple that gate to serious, and I do think that Donald Trump would be nominated for speaker of the house. If republicans take control in twenty twenty two, the Question is the key question just because Republicans take control and someone nominates trump to be speaker do they really elect Trump to be speaker of the house. Understand that it's an open

question not morally, but strategically, if trumpets, don't do particularly well in the November MID terms. If Donald Power within the party seems diminished, it's less likely that Republicans would be willing to do something so cartoonish, on the other hand, and particularly, if Republicans taken, told the house on the basis of many from pests winning new seats in the house. It is completely plausible Republicans would be willing to make Trump speaker of the house, and it would be one of the most cartoonish and pathetic circumstances in american policy in a very, very long time, unfortunately the combination of historical trends, where the first it terms after a new president is usually bad for that party, meaning it would be bad for Democrats in November combined with gerrymandering com, combined with population shifts that might see Democrats losing a few seeds. Just on that basis, it is looking more and more like real

look. If you're gonna win the house in November, it's not a guarantee and when I say that I'm not saying it so that we do nothing. I'm saying it so that we do throw in the towel and we actually fight for the house, because if we lose that house, it's be very, very bad for a long period of time.

Slash pachmann for thirty five dollars off the link is in the podcast notes, so we spoke earlier in the show about Joe Biden warning russian President. Vladimir Putin don't invade Ukraine. If you do it we're going to put in place economic sanctions you're not going to like it dont do it well. Karlsson doesn't like it. He doesn't like what Joe Biden is Last night, Fox NEWS, propaganda, stucco, Karlsson, sided with Russia and with loud a mere Putin saying the President of Russia just wants to keep his western. borders secure now I already told you earlier that Russia,

has been massing troops at the border with Ukraine, the idea being there either gauging what the reaction would be to a potential invasion or there actually planning an invasion of Ukraine and Joe Biden went to Putin yesterday and said: don't invade Ukraine. We will punish you economically if you do Tucker, went on a fourteen minute rat last night, defending Russia's actions, saying it's Biden, who should be careful, because next thing you know he might start a war if he threatens Putin. So there So many things here to talk about. Let's first look at a couple of clips terrorist her accurately saying. You know the risk to Ireland's from Putin and Russia is very low, and tuckers- absolutely right about that. We're gonna fuck Germany and Luxembourg and that's gonna, teach Vladimir Putin get what you just So there is a child.

who has no idea what she's talking about but keeps talking anyway. We will defend Ukraine since June. This is a senator from Iowa. So what happens? If we don't defend Ukraine, Joanie Ernst, we'll kids into mourning grub to speak Russian. No one asked tat question she's, never thought about it for a moment that all is reading from the same talking point from Adam Shift to Roger Wicker, to Johnny Erst great okay, so I mean Tucker's right he's condescending it's pathetic, he's a propagandist, buddies right. The the Russia thing is not a risk to kids in Iowa where Joanie Ernst is a senator, and I wish that that had been the perspective so many more times in American here, three when we were doing military engagements. Iraq comes to mind as one example, but we are talking about military intervention here at least not right now. Nor do I support one.

What we're talking about here is economic sanctions and part disappointing in the shared defence of Ukraine. So Tucker continues. We're gonna go back to what he said before the clip. We just watch, take a look, but what's so interesting and ought to make you sit up and pay attention is suddenly partisan. Republicans are making a tentacle noises. Just this afternoon said a Roger Wicker, Mississippi, not a genius famous. But still sitting Republican Centre went on Fox NEWS to say we may need to send american troops to Ukraine and possibly because it an insane or anything think about the use of nuclear weapons that that nor back pocket nuclear weapons, Roger Wicker sitting, you a senator, When and washed and Laughter Roger Wicker, this is so crazy. No one seems aware of how crazy it is their all

sitting back and listening to Torreon New and tell them what we need to do. How much has this penetrated the psyche of Washington DC one hears a sad peace iii. This is Johnny Urge is telling affable nice Republican through reasonable and most from Midwest, suddenly sounding like a bloodthirsty warmonger, sentinel, actually Adam Schiff. When she talks about that dastardly, Vladimir Putin. he needs to say to Vladimir Putin that we are no longer going to allow you continue to continue with the Nord stream to pipeline. We need you to know and understand that we will defend Ukraine. We will provide them assistance. He needs to make that very clear proof so bad we're gonna, cut off natural gas to Western Europe in return, Asian against him in December. We're gonna EAST Germany and Luxembourg, and that's gonna teach Vladimir Putin get what

you saw. There is a child who has no idea. What she's talking about but keeps talking anyway. Ok, so then we get to like the part about Joanie Ernst that I played for you earlier. So here's the deal with this your reaction might be. Republicans just love Russia, so of course Tucker is siding with Russia, and it is true that increasingly, under trump These Republicans are more and more sort of smitten by these are rotarian strong men in Russia is is one example of that It is actually bigger than that and remember I dont want war with Russia. I didn't want trump going to war with Russia I dont want Joe Biden going to war with Russia. I am not calling for war with Russia at all period. What I want to point out to you is that for Republicans, the principle

Oh, is that Democrats are always in the wrong hands Obama. The focus was beta Obama. Let Putin take Crimea Eddie. Just let him do it. He walked off over Obama. Once again, why didn't Obama go to war? Why didn't barber deploy troops. Why did Obama? Let Putin do what the hell? He wanted incomes, Donald Trump. The focus then became. Why wouldn't we want to get along with getting along his girl. You know their voices. What would go a throughout Putin didn't you anything wrong with this? Let's be friends: Trump is right not to go after Putin. Trump is right not to treat Putin. Ah strongly, and instead written with kid gloves you warmongering liberals, stop saying trumps should be going aggressive with Putin and then its Joe Biden and now it's well

even merely threatening economic sanctions is crazy prudence not that bad Putin's just protecting is border. While behold, on the second guys under Obama. You flipped out, because Obama didn't stop Putin from taking Crimea now I'll Biden is bad for doing something at least an economic threat. I thought wasn't this way. Said, Obama was wrong for not doing, and now Biden is wrong for doing it and at the end of the day, these people are truly pathetic. because there are no underlying values or principles with foreign policy. Only underline principle is attacked. Democrats. The principle is, it's always the fault of some Democrat doing something wrong. Either Democrats did the wrong thing by doing something or Democrats did the wrong thing by not doing something or Democrats wanted the Republican to do the wrong thing, but fortune

The Republican was smart and strong and wise enough not to do it under Obama. Obama was that Democrat under Trump. It was other Democrat saying. Why is Trump treating Putin like this and not taking him seriously and then under Biden, go back to being Joe Biden. This is amazing, even for Tucker, the defence of Putin here, but at this point I probably shouldn't even really be that surprised. We suspected lower limit looking back up. when Trump got covered. We knew we were being lied to about a lot of different thing earlier, weaken. Last week we came to learn that one of the things we were being lied about with regard to trumps

it was when he was sick, and it is now abundantly clear before it was ninety percent clear now it's completely clear Trump had had a positive test before that infamous debate with Joe Biden at which Trump showed up late and his staff said we don't trust us would he was tested were not going to test on site. Tested recovered. We now know Trump had covered during that debate. We also suspected that true, was way. Sicker then was being admitted to buy his doctors and his AIDS political aids. At that I'm and we now have more information about that. Thanks again to mark meadows from sport, one of transformer Chiefs of staff, who is now published a ton of information about what was going on behind us. We have learned a number one that Donald Trump oxygen was not just a little low but it was dangerously low back in October of twenty twenty one, he tested positive for covert. Ninety

we also learned that the diagnosis in general was far more serious, that trumps medical team actually pulled. Mark meadows aside and said, listen. His oxygen levels are really really low for his age, eighty, six or lower is very, very dangerous. there is also the revelation Now that Donald Trump was so weak that he could not even carry his own brief case and that Market shadows was advised. You ve gotta convince trumped, get to Walter Reed Hospital now before things take a turn for the worse, because, if you're trying to hide how sick he is, if the guy can't even walk to the helicopter, it's gonna be impossible impossible to continue. Hiding it meadows went in to tell Trump.

Sir. You know we gotta move you it's time to go to Walter. Reed Trump was supposedly sitting up in bed in a t, shirt and looked like he was not going to be able to go anywhere and meadows says You know we always saw the guy. Neither Gulf work out, Sir Herb Suit got Gulf outfits, her suit untie an trump looked, very, very different here, He was a mass, his hair was a mass on and on, and mark Meadow said the trump it's better. You walk out of here today under your own power, then being brought out on a gurney or a structure, and that was the time at which it was determined by tromp yeah, better go, and the idea was ok, let's go out and carry your brief case, but he's too weak even to carry the brief case. We have now learned now are any of these details. Surprising know. We had every reason to suspect that tromp was very very second,

sicker than was being admitted, is Trump now admitting that this is what went on no no trump denying these accounts in saying I didn't covet during the debate. It's fake news, all this different stuff of Trump, denies everything. So it seems pretty clear to me if you say well, what's the most likely thing here was the most reasonable and likely explanation. Mark meadows is probably telling the truth. I don't know of any reason, particularly when you know that if you tell these stories being mark meadows, Trump's going to lose his mind is going to slam you it's going to be completely crazy and at the same I'm. It follows what we knew at the time: doktor shine, kindly was being very, very squishy. An invasive with is did Trump. oxygen he's not on oxygen. Today. Nobody did in the past in coming here,

He has not been on oxygen today. Ok, when did he first has positive, I'm not gonna look backwards. We want to look forward to the president regaining its help. It all fits with everything that was going on Trump, always wanting to minimize anything bad and play up anything good, the very strange and and narrow language used by his doctors and on and on and on so no shock. No surprise. Just imagine I mean I think the real take away here. It imagine how racy things would have gotten had trump refuse to go to the hospital initially and ultimately needed to be brought on a stretcher. But what would that have done? And if Trump had ended up even sicker and stayed in the hospital closer to the elections, I mean I do it all the way it went, ended up

seeming not that bad for Trump at the end of the day still ultimately did not get em reelected, but it could have been much much worse and were learning that through these revelations from mark matters, we have a voice mail number, and that number is too one. Nine to David, P, you can call any time I got a very ill. steam voicemail from the egg man explaining a conversation he recently had with someone take a listen to this. This is interesting. He gave I just had a business transactions with a conservative republic in Western Europe, some guy that I saw them problem. I have When you were making a zeal- and I told him- I'm a Register Republican, but I hate Trump and didn't boy for him by the way. That's true

I am a registered republic it anyway. I told the guided and now the receding summer Republicans he gave me the inside dirt, but he's talking to his own team right said he so fearful that from a good run in twenty twenty fourth, and if programmes they ve been a loose, and I need to find somebody better than Trump, because by buying a sick and Harris is horrible and they vinegar nobody in the dim sites, but whoever they get is gonna beat trouble, so they need to replace drop. This guy was terrified. Republicans conservative he thinks the world is falling, is caving in anything's, radical, left, Wings are taken over everything, so they're scared Dave, and it will need to hear this guy talk to me about on his outside. It was really really I'll be interested here I mean, I think what the thing to think about here. Is it there there is no exciting person on the democratic side. Right now I mean: let's, let's go

Joe Biden running for re election is an exciting and I dont know if you will win by not running and it being Camilla Harris is not exciting, and I dont know that she will win. There's not really excitement, and you guys know that I just an injured in general and not super impressed with politicians anyway, other just people at the end of the day, but there's no one as exciting me on the democratic side on the republic inside you have the deep devoted trump card. This who still are completely on his side, but you also have what the egg man is describing here. People who believe truck trumps time has come and gone and that Trump will run again due to narcissism. and lose and they don't know who to point to either, and I think this is why run dissenters? His name keeps coming up his competent in the sense of being able to keep it together

He is Trump began in a lot of his ideology and maybe more dangerously effective, being able to get a lot of that stuff done. But it is interesting that other than dissenters, the people that the names you hear mentioned by the right looked more traditional republicans. I dont think they have a chance. I think the republican electorate has moved beyond sort of a traditional republican at this point in time, and that's why you say: well, if it's gotta be Trumpery in but less whacked and maybe younger. That's why the dissenters possibility keeps coming up so we're gonna, wait and see onto is bonus? Show we will talk about a Joe Biden, federal contractor vaccine mandate being blocked by a judge. We will talk about the legalization of suicide parts in Switzerland, We will also talk about the bill backed by progressives in Congress for a four day work week. What is the chance that this past

all of those stories and more on today's vote has showed signs of chewing gum,
