So the idea that that, if you follow Christen Cinema into the bathroom that magically effect, these immigration provisions are gonna, make it back into the reconciliation bill is, is also insane here. I think we're obviously dealing with people who have
either a very little idea. What's actually going on practically speaking are or any idea of what is politically possible or we're dealing with people who just want to harass somebody who they think is getting in their way and I think
we were dealing more and more with people on the left. You think that kind of like

Whichever side is is doing it not quite, as agreed just example, still bad one. Yesterday today there were rightly folks outside of the House of School Board member and floor. I think in Sarasota and thus with born in out, and that's that's wrong as well,

This pressure campaign against Senator Cinema will work in the sense that it helps mover or not, as a word so far, no indication issues. I think she realizes that if you reward this behavior, you get more of it
try I dont think is going to work. I do think conservatives might be disappointed when they find learn what costs and cinema wants to do in the reconciliation bell. But I don't think it's going to be the product of this intimidation, and I agree that I dont think its went to work. She doesnt strike me ass, the type of partition who came to the sort of thing

city policy, which is the pro life policy, ensuring that federal money can't our foreign aid money can't fund groups that performer promote abortions overseas Biden also directed his age.
Just the fischler to look into ass. He put it rescinding the protect life rule which, in essence, what I did was require any group that provide performs abortions to financially separate their provision of abortion, from whatever other proceed,
where's, our or services they provide. The idea here is you know if a group, like plain parenthood, wants to get tail TAT family planning funding? They have to not be financially profiting from it to provide abortion so that taxpayers, money is not going to the provision of abortion
he's a big, a big success and had opted out of the programme rather than financially distinguish between the two, which is.
surprising, given that, for all we hear about being a women's health care group, abortion is actually really justa an abortion provider. They want to profit from bore from that, Sir most profitable procedure, so they pulled out lost about sixty
in a year from title ten money and now the binding ministration has gotten rid of that rule and starting in November or plain parenthood, another abortion providers will once again be able to get title ten money without distinguishing between abortion and everything else to do
Jim. One of the key dishonesty in this debate is the argument it plan parenthood isn't fundamentally about abortion and they'll throughout these bogus statistics, where you know, if you got a plan, parenthood
give you an aspirin. They count that is as a service
on par with performing an abortion just to try to hide for the purposes of the state. What they're really about wait? A second witnessing I'm really confused guys because I've been covering Afghanistan so much. My understanding was that once President Trump does something president by just
to go ahead with it that there's no there's no exception. You're not allowed to undo deals that your presence that your predecessor may in a lot on the old PAL Caesar process
to go along with it, even if its Golly disaster, because that's at those Odessa
had ever they all interested funny or that there are a couple of things, are feel frustrated about this. Besides the fact that you know due process and the importance of its links on offer the lights wage, depending on who is being accused in the eyes of the binding administration at somebody folks elaborating the other thing is that I think, if you really pressed Joe Biden on this in an interview, he would self destruction or.
fall apart very quickly or be very tough for him to hide due to address what is actually doing without getting well were keeping people who are abused
The council are not stuff like that. That did this is you know his knees, never been good at the details and you notice how quickly he had been prickly gases. Have you certainly luck? These rules were in place were designed to ensure the people who work used, a crime to college campuses
a treated exactly the same as in every other there being introduced to crimes that they should have the rights of defendants in criminal trial. We don't have,
this separate other system that duty cates things fur in over in these kind of socrates- and why is this is just one
in the same system in the same building cross examined your future increase same examination in all of this, just keeping me being given that makes our justice system great and apply making sure has consistently applied. I dont think Joe Biden refute that without resorting to name calling or assuming that other people wanted to excuse sexual solve or something like that. I think this is an extremely not some use defensible by Joe Biden embraced him over hearing these days. It's entirely not clear how much Joe Biden actually
It was, but any given decision that occurring within his administration. So I'd love to see Joe Biden questioned about that. As we all know you about, it does take a lot of questions. Anyone who generally dishes statement then turned and walked to the door, and you know I love you he's not gonna he's pressing I'd states. We can expect the best balance.
So Charlie, this is very surprising. This policy, since Joe Biden, is personally for life
and the most religious president we ve ever had back. I can improve upon any answer. Alexander gives on the question of abortion boys. He instead make a general.
P fur libertarianism, men, federalism. This is not the sort of thing, the federal
Miss should be doing, and I know I went convince any progressive with this because they see the welcome Fitly differently than I do, but outside of defence and a few things that are obviously interstate commas or that have clear international connections, terrorists, immigration. We should be able to tolerate one another's differences to the point at which we do not ask people to violate
consciences with attacks dies, and I know people say well. I didn't like this war. I didn't like that immigration policy, fine, but there are some questions that just are intrinsically national, and this is not one of them and I think that it shows a remarkable intolerance.
On the part of the President and his party and everyone else who has lobbied for this change that they felt. It was a good use of the national government to subsidize this procedure that many many people putting myself consider is tantamount to killing.
and I think it has a profound effect on national political temperature and so next time
people say well why we so angry each other
people say well divided. We are why weren't they
another person come over and work with us on this or that issued? This is why I think this is is regrettable. I think it fails to take advantage of the system of government that Americans reprieved, that does not require them to forcibly extract money from everyone in order to pay for procedures that at least half a country beliefs are immoral
There's an execution to you looking ahead next year, assuming the court overturns are significantly roads row in case c. That
paved the way for a step forward for
persuasion from the pro life side or step back. I think it'll be a step forward in one significant way on a walk, perhaps to one is that right now, a lot of the air in the room. Any version debate is sucked
by Roby Weight and a lot of talking points from playing parenthood and other defenders of abortion are, while runway
the law of the land, seven and ten american support it go away brightened so the conversation ends there. They dont want to talk about its though just point to row and go about their business, and so you never get to really debate abortions. I think it'll be a bit
Opening for proliferation and it'll be something that we have to debate at the state level, because if the court sends you issue of abortion back to the states, so.
in some states already have abortion laws on the books, but people are gonna start paying a lot more attention to that in their own statements. Winter require having the text conversations that pro efforts have been trying to have for a long time, and I haven't been able to move the ball on as much as they would have liked because it rose to building a girl that Alexander such as it would be very gradual, move in the right direction. But that's gonna be the story. The prolific movement for a long time, the drowsy to pick up, I'm afraid, I'm not convinced the obvious result of overturning road beach return, is questions to the states. But, as we saw what two weeks ago, Congress is trying to
pre empt this question federally and if it achieves that at some point, then our legal fight will move too that we will have to debate whether deciding abortion policy in Congress is really interesting. Commerce, which of course, it's not
I think that, at least in the short term, the first reaction among the democratic
Coalition will be to try to federalist the question yet again, I think ultimately at member state level, but we ve got
long way to go even if rose overturned, so
I think obviously they'll be substantive. Progress state will be able to pay
restrictions that had been struck down by the course to this point by think in terms of the.
The politics in terms of the they make
the case, I think will be a step back. I think it's gonna take
time for Republicans to get get their footing. I implore lifers get a footing and on how to make the case
This utterly transformed environment and, let's hope it it actually comes to that. If Rhone Casey, are
returned and then eventually out. I expect us to find our are footing, but in the short term, I think it's gonna be treacherous with

the process and don't want to have to extend it up to

in the majority and it's their response. Billowy with that, let's hit a few other things
before we go Zan so many listeners, I know adjustment
eating out their wondering edge of theirs
see- maybe not able even sleep at night, just wondering what has been the latest with your saga. This epoch struggle with this rogues
Well, I've been waiting on edge of my seat as well hoping to see its resolution. It's been a quaint US law across every year for the last, I think about three weeks now
and I will say we don't know for sure I'll give away the ending. We don't know for sure where the squirrel is. He has not officially been vanquished any meaningful or lethal way, but
He is no longer on our roof, is no longer in the gutter he's no longer in the attic he's. No one
chewing on the side of our house. In fact, we haven't seen him for probably about a week which we are
TAT S, a victory. I will add, there have been a few,
minor fatalities of other squirrels and the process of hunting in some minor faith, negligible negligible fatalities which were not the criminals whereon. He sent it through to their deaths unfortunately deserves a nurse.
I will say I like animals too, but this whole thing has convinced me: squirrels are truly terrible, do not shoot on site. That's my best advice, Jim you ve been watching earth
yeah yeah I forgot to ask her, which had you titans do all that
No, no! It's not just like you know in my mind, for policies and just began.
my brother and my father, and I to talk about wanting to go up to see a jets game for a while. We saw the when I pull they play the actual Washington Redskins here cuz. I hadn't changed into the painfully generic Washington football team back in late to the
nineteen and very tough for everybody go see again. Twenty twenty certain states had votes had their lower, allowing limited capacity into the stadiums and
New Jersey, Filmer. He had all of infinite wisdom said. No one should be up to see that our considering Adam Gaze was hooked coaching the jets. Maybe it was for the best that no one was able to watch the jets would fall in putting on it, but when up their riches, I assume you was a roller coaster of a game. Every up down all kinds of momentum shifts
kinds of wild plays? You can probably here to my voice that is only now recovering from other screaming and I've gone to check game modalities. They could hold her parliament from only about ten to my colleagues at the end of my college years, so im just good to see you but my bread,
said, Nikobob world the judgments right up there and we were in we're in our element in it was utterly joyous. Just for at least one weekend
I think the pie gas has been running a little luck with snip twists nipple
ask two: ministers will just be like. I forgot to ask him what
it's gone now, congratulations as soon as it was
Nine seven at half ass, I knew there was a chance. This thing about the wrong way and when it over time and the just got the first possession, it
if you're wrong,
The titans were threatening and
they ve pulled out so many these games the last year and a half that it would have
Prize me, if they they score the touchdown, but they didn't and as first jets victory of the year. So my hat off to you, Jim Congratulations, Charlie. You visit
the world went back to see wild, and this time my wife came up with the idea. Can you imagine that, as its minding my invasive such we can write some
the cases, and I said yes, yes, we should absolutely stupid question and then she came into my office and extend that you still want to go up still want to go so it took the kids. Die was absolutely beautiful day in order not to heart, but sunny all day, nice breeze and oddly enough for us ass a day, it wasn't busy at all every single right in the traction we just.
Walked into, which is a perfect way to visit an amusement park. So I got my roller coaster fix, but without having to
anything away for it. Bonanza.
So then. First of all I should mention regarding squirrels the heaven
An ongoing law is really an expert in handling wildlife and he was visiting the mark. Twain, housing and music
in Connecticut and they wanted to get a tour and all the torture booked up and they're just in it museum and where he can go without a towards a sort of.
round yourself and there was a squirrel- is, and this
I was just having a possible time had a net, but they couldn't could not corral the squirrel and my uncle law.
matters into his own hand, got the net got the squirrel.
No problem took the squirrel out, released it and then got a private tour from high level staffer from the the Mark TWAIN House
just in gratitude for how exactly he had. Why is it that when I go to North Dakota Massacre a few prairie dogs, you caused me as a teller, the heart, but this
jihad of Alexander's. Again us we're all in the neighborhood is met with enthusiasm that I say
the squirrel, is harmed Mark TWAIN House. No, but she just said
is american military euphemisms. It of my mind,
casualties Argent, all the master self defense. You went there and sought them out to shoot them. They were doing in order in order have you know in order to save them.
I uh
legs in the halls created by prairie dogs and then have to be put down it was it was an
of great out for online. Had someone had to save the horses of the American West.
So we got a while car game going tonight and Charlie, and then I presume,
Junior Yankees, applying the Red Sox Anna one one game, sudden death, which is first time. This has happened between these two team, since the epoch
Nineteen, seventy eight play off game.
I'm old enough to remember, and I've been thinking back
I ran home from school to see this this game, which has played in the late after,
and now there are some play games and baseball. Now you do get games in the afternoon, but one of the
in my view, downsides of the modern era. Just so many important games in October plated nights. He don't get that
does long shadows, suggests just speak of a post season, baseball,
and seventy eight was the year the Yankees came back famously from fourteen back in July. I remember telling my my dad
These are out of it. There's no way, they're gone anywhere and his
his view was always if you're you're in second place nurse there's no one in between you in the first place,
you got a shot and he said: ok, you're, so smart, you think they're out of it right it downright now, data that that you think they're they're out of it there not. I did write it.
and I was hoping to find this one, I cleaned out by my parents house,
on this somewhere in his drawers rate, where's squirreled away, don't mind the term Alexandra a lot of stuff I did not, but
we'll see he was right. They came back.
Two headed the end, but then the Red Sox. You had this historic collapse. I think one last eight games the season to force this tie and force one of the greatest games and baseball history.
most famous for Bucky danced three run home or to put the Yankees on on top three to two, but that was not the end of the drama in and that game the Yankees ended up winning five. Four with a couple, I think, was a couple aurettes runners on base when Craig Nettles caught the final.
Pop up. So I'm hoping there's no way. This game tonight will be as epic as that, but I'm hope it's hoping as entertaining and, of course, hoping the Yankees win with that. It's time for
errors picks Jim Garrison. Eight was your back
Well, I really was tempted about it for a year now and just to embarrassing, some Charlie Cook has been on fire lately. Everything is running about Christians and it has been terrific, but right before we started taping, my good friend whence he nearly enough had lately John Gable,
lives on their a zone of his first piece and ask review its call to understand cinema. You need me to understand Arizona. John is lived out there a long time right, whereas in other from time to time also the editor in chief over ricochet dot com,
It gives a really great local perspective on why hours on its like yours in Cinema, why they always liked mavericks, why they don't want someone to just March of the party line, and I think he said that he would any if I said something like he is the next big luckily or something like that, but could but dont overdo it several sound fast, so they go John God help me up than what you bet, I think is a recent news. Peace by TAT S, an event is covering
the news that the New York Times passed on a really honestly bombshell are bad from a doctor cautioning, I guess healthcare experts and psychiatrists against this.
Kind of overly zealous methods of treating young children, gender Soria. Obviously, a very controversial
Is she right now on the story coming out shows that the times is really
on the side of those who were there. Let children do whatever it is. They want, even if it's quite harmful to their bodies, try cook what you're back
I would like the John Gabriel Peace and not just because he rescued me when I got stranded in Phoenix on my way further out West a few years ago and took me to a bar. Thank you for the trunk Gabriel. I, like David Sandy's magazine EAST, how Jen Saki
plays the press. I am a little baffled, but she, when so many plaudits from her side
and I started to wonder how long shall tolerate being put in the position she is in, but David sort of suggested tat. She likes doing this, maybe maybe she'll, be there forever. So my pack
I was worried for a second there that Jim Gary was gonna. Take is choice. Peace here the day chasing Kristen Cinema into a bathroom is not normal. Just take a great Charlie rant and that's it that's a positive when we're talking about peace, just pointing out how grossness was and just just help stark instead of turning the disparity, wasn and how's treated verses, you know said been Republicans chasing a Democrat.
