Various trump efforts to overturn, The election focus last couple days has been this John S been memo guy for legal scarf and Claremont Institute. Guy Very

sighed the Trump effort right at the end. Wrote and authoress a memo that Bob, Woodward and Bob CASTOR, got and released as part of their book. There's also a six page version and is pretty much what you would have expected and what they are talking about explicitly wasn't a secret easement theories was pants, could basically block. the election of Joe Biden and throw it to tromp another couple hoops there. Nuclear minus two now is trying to argue well, he wasn't really saying pence could overturn. The election has just saying pants could throw to Congress to overturn the election. So please don't be overly heart to John Eastman or Institute here that defence. really feels like splitting hairs, because, if not like Johnny's man

You guys been studying the constitution for a really long time and he looked at these arguments from you know: Sidney POW Lynn Word and that the practice that was released and all this in all other nonsense. As you know, there really is a dispute about who one Pennsylvania then golly. We just can't tell him what Arizona So this is the right way to do this than the idea that he was this. You know just tested, his passionate. Sushil Scholars, studying the circumstances and- providing a road map for how to truly best come to the same degree. We spoke at that the general six rally was on writer. the Julie, operate like we know who this guy was. We already stands for. We know the outcome that he wanted. And business, like maybe in his circles, that a perfectly normal thing to do the same,

We just can't tell who want those states is just too confusing. It's just too The margins are just ten thousand boats, never mind that we have in Florida, two thousand five hundred percent And I best thing we can do as you throw this to the house that that's the only fair way to do the fact it's a pretty these battles with terrible, tiered pricing drop, this is how you win dear vice president, and this is what you have to do for trunk. To win Dear republicans, in the House of Representatives. This is what you have to do to make sure that that Donald Trump takes the oath of office again January twenty up even though he lost, so you know, I'm sure all of trust world very now, Claremont Institute That aside, I guess it's like not you don't coming to his aid and not you know not wanting to associate with him, ultra worlds, running to the fence Eastman here this out of the past. a moment you can listen. You hear that

That's a sodomy, not jumping out of my chair to rush to the aid of appeasement, search among the issues here is just the Eastman. Nemo's are bad law, our own, damn Mclaughlin demolish them a couple weeks ago that this is really poor, legal reasoning and a really poor reading of the constitution in the goal of just creating some pretext for the president and his allies to overturn an election result that was legitimate. Even if there's fraud and bad practices at the margins are zero evidence that the election was actually stolen and my hence to his credit and others in positions of authority said now. I think, as a general I we would need to be careful not to shut down or discouraged

Hail legal inquiry, specially legal inquiry that were unpopular for example, I would be deeply uncomfortable. If a scholar wrote a paper, did some research covered some evidence suggesting that one of the Supreme Court cases, it is almost uniformly liked and supportive had been incorrectly decided. Where is again as a general matter, a question of academic and intellectual freedom at stake here, but it doesn't apply to men, because, as Jim points out, this was pre textual. This was not an earnest

sober, maybe socially peculiar, academic. Looking. to a question in coming to an unfortunate outcome. Conclusion. This was somebody who's trying, clearly band and twists When tat the law in order to apply it in a manner that is deeply destructive, Sue alive transient political dispute, this was, in other words, precise Watts constitutional lists text for this, region lists a super to avoid supposed to a poor, because it is not only lying about history and lying about law, but its destabilizing. The notion that the constitution Is so malleable that.

Oh, that's just your opinion. Man should be offensive to all of us, and this is what Eastman indulged in. I think, funnily enough, it should be the text, tourists and original list. Among us who were the most defended institution, is a living document of every provision is up for interpretation if it is to roll with the times. If you can't squint at didn't, find me, Comes you want if it is supposed to be politicized if it is supposed to be responsive to democratic precious and if the incumbent parties? have an advantage in interpretation, this far less of a case against Eastman, but if you think that we have fixed law and that that law should be interpreted according to it's original meaning. Then you should be bothered by this and without risk.

Doing and re rehearsing everything down. Maclaughlan right the case. The Eastman may disappear silly because it would require a constitutional amendment that was passed under the auspices of the Jeffersonian I two hundred contingent only to have established essentially a dictatorship of the vice presidency, but to have done so to the advantage of our birth with them Let me ask the people who shepherded this through Sir I ass a general rule become a little nervous when people start to condemn or excommunicate disparage. Academic saw lawyers for conclusions that are unpopular, but I think in this case, Eastman deserves because he's not on the level he's playing what is ultimately a political game. His answer, the kind

is to put out the memo and what they complain about is. The institute was excluded from. I believe this political science conference. That sounds wrong. I don't think that should have happened, but also complains about the federal society, not giving a platform for east men too espouses view or debate this view with others and not just seems totally legitimate at the federal society thinks this is a bogus view at a blind alley for conserving go down. They have no other. Nation to affirm of labour, promote Eastman, or this perspective. I agree with that and I should probably just go as my husband works at the Federalist society so before I say anything else, I should note that, but I do agree that I think it's important to this wait till shelled White House gets US information centre. Nobler conspiracy. Theory results right.

money everywhere you what you'd pins than on others, wall, your pen, another red push pen with that Zan in her her husband's somewhere in a piece of string leading to die, money. Somehow, Starck money. I have yet to see any of it, but in any event, I think it's important to distinguish between Silly exclusions of people, because they are, you know somehow toxic for having espoused the wrong point of view and not giving them a platform to talk about that particular view right side. I think that is perfectly legitimate for I want to complain that their entire institution was excluded from this political science conference because they have Johnny spent on their staff right. That's ridiculous! The idea that such near because he espouse this, you suddenly Whole college is not eligible to speak political science anymore. I accuse too horrible for having. on this. We can't even acknowledged that this group exists in the world of political theory. That's going too far in my you, but I dont think that you know Johnny. Spain has some kind

right to go to any group he's a part of and talk about whenever he wants, including this particular hobbyhorses is especially considering that I think it's it's a view that outside pale and as the federal society wants to say. This type of debate is not something that is pushing the Overton window further than we like to think that, right to send us not debate. We want house not a position. We want air carrier s question to you, three years from now and republican conservative circles The eastern memo will be considered a complete and utter embarrassment or a righteous work, pushing back against a great injustice that was perpetrated in twenty twenty or something between, I will say something between the little depend very highly, which circle you're in I think certainly, then, like the Federalist society conserve intellectuals, anyone who takes the law seriously it'll be seen as a ridiculous joke a you know, convoluted

shot way to keep trumped the president lost the election suspect, amongst the concern of large amounts of republican grass roots. Certainly every trump loyalist in the Republican Party. It'll be seen as the gospel truth than a great crime that this was not an enacted by my fence troika. Why thank you we'll come to be seen as an embarrassment. I think people got caught up in it. This is something that both sides day in this exact mode, but if you read, for example, the daily coasts any time a Republican Congress is about to do something that it dislikes is always some report the machine they can use to stop it, and this was the equivalent on the right and, unfortunately, all night, with delicacy articles he's got picked up by president and and his coterie.

I think, eventually it will be seen ass, crazy, hopefully sooner rather than later, to agree with him on this. I think at all really depend on what conservative circles you're talking about. It seems to be kind about a touch point in these civil wars among conservatives kind of our EU, while two trump or not- and this is one of the world things are supposed to come down on the east side of the Euro, a Trump oil, as I think it will be almost a sorting tasked among conservative right for a while. Yet I totally agree that it will be in between deserves to be considered an embarrassment and in the fullness of time, I'm when they dropped phenomenon, washes out. In a two decades now whatever it is, it will be seen as embarrassment, but it's gonna be in between and this interim period the next couple of years. With that that's pause here from our first monster. This episode

As coach operators came down last night, courting Tuesday morning here, there is an investigation of the Washington Redskins or now called the football team. Sometimes, when I hear some sports update about, you know the browns playing the football MIKE which one which watchful policy where they blame, but it said that's not what now, what we call the Redskins, but there's situation of the culture of the Redskins that. went through massive amounts of documents, and apparently these smoking gun that they found these emails between John Bruton and Bruce Alan, who is the GM of the red skin

and had been with gluten. They both in its buccaneers for awhile and their bodies, and I guess maybe some other books on the on these emails, I'd in other they're, not emails, you'd want to see in the light of day they called Roderick Adele the NFL Commissioner, a faggot, a pussy other things. If of that nature, there was one racially offensive insult of aim. I was the players Union head of the players, union and grew dance around a little bit on on this last couple days and then than just got the axe. What to make of it. Make of it that was such a doleful, exhausted

running saga. I'm I'm doleful inexhausted, because I think that this is a very nuanced question that will be treated as anything bad and as a little kids A pretty good hearing, and sometimes I would have My parents took you have helped me when they didn't know that and then I would say to my mom. I can't believe you said this and she would say this conversation wasn't meant for you. The matter was stuck with me and we would all I thus be in trouble. I mean in the same sort of trouble, a student, but we would all be in trouble. People could hear conversations we have, But each other about our friends.

I'm show my wife says thanks to her mother, about me that I don't want to hear and that's fine and- and I think that does matter even in the case of Greece, because people do talk. currently privately and actually people's say terrible things privately in tell table jokes privately and. This should not come as a shock to anyone, but this happens quite loud sports, and I was actually I'm telling you recently rich you're going to love of course, and watching ages game with a bunch of African Americans sort of being shocked by the way if its words that they used during the game and if you took a transfer,

double and showed it to their employer or their family or the New York Times I mean with it would read horrifically it, but I don't think any of the men a word of it. So that's a long way of saying that we are dealing here with apparently. An enormous trove of emails that the annex, sitting on that point: They contain all sorts of embarrassing things that might not be limited to John Great in all the raiders and As a culture, I just can't wait to decide how we are going to cope with that sort of thing. On the merits of it, I think we're, cheap junk written that a bit differently than we would cheat. Someone young saw I've written often about how absurd it is to punish young people

the things they said that were recorded because rule on the internet. Now, when they were fifteen or sixteen, for example, relaxing the commons who is it actually arson went to be the editor, I think tat though we can, because a common she'd made on issues about seventeen. I think that's preposterous. Kyle cash. If who was at parkland during that my shooting said some ugly I think that he was sixteen and his Harvard offer was rescinded, but unless absolutely ridiculous Es went after Kyler, Murray's quarterback, so the cardinals on the day received Heisman trophy because they found some tweets from when he was fifteen or sixteen again absolute dog prudence in a different position, junk rudeness, not sixteen. These comments may have been made tenure, the guy, but from what I understand, some of them were not acceptable. Ten years ago,

he was a grown man. I just, This is the classical liberal heavy. I'm just not crazy about the sort of culture that forces people to step down from their jobs, other than a town. I think we are losing our capacity for redemption and. In their accounts, a correct and John Bruton did need to apologize to some people. It is, Ass, if he has a reputation in this area, it's not as if this is second or third time. It's not as if a whole host of players came forward and said I was mistreated israeli peace if he had a different attitude, What may than towards their car white quarterback for the din.

So I think, as usual I would have said all right. What are we gonna do that poligized and and move on, but but we do that anymore and that's a problem, because it is a problem because it it. It shows that we are not great at forgiveness, which really is the hallmark of it civilization, but is also a problem because it is so preciously doled out yet that thereon, I'm afraid an awful lot of people who just get away with it and then some who down and I'm sorry are going to see a rhyme or reason to two cultural attitude him than at complaint, a lot about the nature of apologies. In this moment, international life there there so grovelling and self abasing. We ve talked

the sun on the part gas, but apologies have their use, if, if their sincere and that their not perversely self. basing the wave seen so many times it just seems to me and but but you tell are we being too not being alarmed enough about what he said from here point of your budget seems to me like a sincere apology, especially to the world's it. Could all they said these things about and especially to the the African American and it fell, figured he he said truly. Something truly terrible about he d apologize and to extend again make amends, and then a promise not to do it again and move on and- and I think choice. Very well taken that these were private communal, nations here thinks he would never say and in public and were never meant to be public. I think

the point here is about policies- is a good one, and it really encapsulates the problem that dealing with, and I think the reason the apology a form has become so silly is that it's not really an apology any real sense right, because an apologies as what you say it, because you want the other person to forgive you. If your sincere comes across well right, you can tell us and policy is real or forced and the apologies we're getting these days are obviously for strike. They come not in kind of a herself debated desire or self motive in an effort to seek forgiveness, because forgiven isn't coming there are always kind of wrenched out of people as a prelude to some other kind of punishment did not please apologize so that we can really you that institution didn't go to him and say you know. These are horrible! Things that you said will stand by you if you are sincerely sorry and are not going to do it again. They want one about

as they show him out the door right, and so it's not really an actual apology. It's kind of this crowning jam for the other side on you're here downfall, which isn't net. Energy at all and that's why I think they're they're so ridiculous. Now no one's actually apologizing in the hopes of beginning a redemptive says, being forgiven being rehabilitated, and- and I want to echo Charlie said. I think we somehow without discussing it. Have marched ourselves into the society where, if you say something wrong. Let alone do something wrong, but if you say something Sana a particular list, stove unpopular comments, there punishment, is you lose your job and if whatever introduce new work for, does not see You lose your job where you dont resign, they are not. Recently a sandy They're not sufficiently responsive to the fact that you have injured people right and so in this case the institution almost certainly would have been accused of not caring that he said

Lindsey about these certain groups of people in these particular people in question if he was not forced to leave his job. But this is Obviously, not sustainable right because, as Charlie pointed out, many of us, of course, have not said things like this. Particular comments, I would hope both the things that we shouldn't have said in private and if suddenly, were in a society where, if you get caught but she's gonna happen more and more often and somewhat, Then you know your friends or your family are deciding what the standards are for what's acceptable to say. None of us are gonna, be employable anymore at a certain point, depending on whose was running the list of what's offensive that on a slippery slope. I'd like to see us head down so Jim. What some folks on the right point Twitter was well. You know if he is submitted a DUI or an instance of domestic abuse which the NFL gotten harsher on, but were familiar with various forms of misconduct. Players that than our job. Ending misconduct,

here they said wealthy done that he be ok, but he sees offended the walk. Walk. My by Saint is politically incorrect things so that sir, that's a firing offence way make it that line of Oregon in our defence of written by having most feared a certain kind of NFL found. You remember the infamous two games, suspension of re rice, the running back for the Baltimore Ravens fur visiting knocked out his. Friend of violent assaults eventually ended up a bracelet ended. His career Bertha early on early in the not too long other signs the NFL just completely an underwhelming response to all this- I'm not a perfectly big fan of John, and so my first thought, Iraq, as you could ve or Could he have ten you'd as head coach, the raiders, depend entirely on whether he could still be a good coach and whether the player still respected whether players were ok with them or what

players saw his used not just about acceptable comment about the head of the enemy, where's union making one of his lips and whether they look then said my coach is a racist screw. This guy, I'm not listening to this guy now I feel gonna jump in here with a little bit about, certainly doesn't remember Paul Harvey and now the rest of the story or a page to invest if you will go out of sports radio around midsummer there. Is this really weird sin phenomenon going on with you now the biggest raiders never get through this segment without calling them to Oakland. Raiders will be almost as big an accomplishment is not calling Bridge Greg in saying that the food they buy to minus two months span for high level executives with LAS Vegas, raiders resigned, with very little warning and Berlin explanation, before the vote on the back story back in the eightys. There were LOS Angeles writers. They moved out back to Oakland ever being an open in the seventies

and then I will announce his big moved. Las Vegas, they're gonna have his big new fancy stadium and if you ve everybody involved in the team, this move to last bakers was like the pinnacle account. There is a really tough thing and apparently the stadium really is state of the art, not stop there Firstly, is there are twenty twenty, but because of the pandemic, they really didn't have any fanciful stance, so certain twenty twenty one was gonna, be real, kick off the real start up New ERA of LAS Vegas, Raiders Football and all of a sudden guys with the team in another officer. The resigning left right with further explanation of the rumour that time was up. Maybe the teams got some sort of financial trouble number here in some sports. Where do you guys wondering if the goods LAS Vegas somebody started getting involved? Criminal peeping, whatever it was given, were fleeing the raiders front office? I now look Aha, ok, the writers front office knew the unopposed do this investigation of the Washington no longer the Redskins? Ah it had focused,

George Alan, but also keep in mind that John Bruton, brother Jake written, was ahead. Coaches, the Redskins for about two years and die clearly, I think people within the raiders front office knew this coming down the path that at some point the tea was going to be enveloped in this racially charged. Controversy. That was the sort of thing that was not blow up on social media just eat up the season, many really be the sort of thing that sticks to people's reputations for a long time and they were. Get up before the storm it, and because of that, Secondly, I believe that we really under discussed aspect of this. Genuine did want to see the ball with each other. They buccaneers a bunch of respect one to go for espionage imminent ESPN commentator when he made these remarks now also observe. I just concur there, but I think you shouldn't say these sorts of things. There are there not nice there obnoxious racially incendiary, but let's go

when, when brooding calls and adopt a commissioner Roderick Adele the other efforts, he's not saying Roderick Adele was a closet and homosexual he is saying, he's he's saying he's a wasn't: a pizza Roger the jealousy was noble would have any problem with it. In fact, I can barely served as a small segment of the demographics listening to the spot. Gas rising. Yes, but Roderick Adele is worse Fidel does deserve to be called those nastiness the idea is to then say that we'd, every casual conversation we're going to police each other for the language police or something that going back year city, it doesn't even matter if you don't do this is a coach. You can't stay as a coach. If you ve ever said things like that, and let me tell you: I'm gonna get that the other F word gets tossed around in it fell circles all. Time. No one be shocked by this knowledge. Be surprised by this is literally a genuinely there's. Always literally is locker room got there

swear, keeping in mind is brooded. Cities is henceforth here of a ten year. Contract would grow came back to the raiders he signed the biggest the most expensive coaching contracted, and I felt a dream. You spend some time falling. Nfl idea about I dont yard, psychoanalyze, bread or second, I asked your child. So are we are we halfway through? This answer were almost at the rooms in the year for a ten year. ten year, one hundred million dollar contract cities become at God. He's got a record of twenty two wines: thirty one losses: networks of glass So to say, John written is what most disappointing had go. Josiana fell so yeah super bowl or if the raiders hadn't thriving I've, a sneaking suspicion that the eldest son and the rest, the organization might have been a little more motivated to say. Oh the sooner you just deserved loses job over this he's. Guy. He used bad judgment

we'll make a donation, the black lives matter, I'll make a donation to the human rights campaign. Let's all let us go into the rug and now look at disappointing coach with me out six more years and contracts. Don't let the door which, year whether Good Lord Switcher exit question too. Yes, it gets away. They accept crush, not not. The very last part there better general point about written to you, too does John Bruton, have a future in and around the NFL going forward. Yes or no, I think not that I don't think so. Jim Now a graphic he does, I think, with the three years will get our sandbox sports network. I would geometric be back in some capacity or other entertaining analysed, tat, talented football mind, even if it said Jim has been taken with his his work. Lately,

I think I'll, be back in some form or other.

standing apparently is just going to them, and I guess to the broader public that this guy is in enfeebled media. de that no one would it would have wanted to elected, but present absent the presence of Donald Trump and you there's some Paul's, where you can hang in there more- where he's in in basically seventies us have not had. Seventy mid forties sent word seventies, come from and is absolutely created among independence worries in the mid thirties when you make of it. I for one. Don't find this especially surprising. I'm actually surprised- and I have been for very long I'm that it took people this long to notice this about. But I guess I I've had a jump start on a lot of people. I grew up hearing stories about how terrible job, is my dad used to work in the Senate, and I was a kid garden was a senator interest, has no shortage of stories. about burden and has long told me that he is one of the world

man in politics, so I thought this for a long time. I don't think this kind of stick of old kind well, Joe, should ever for anybody I shall write use any even Biden Hater from from it from the very beginning, no I haven't. I am my dad too thanks for that is instilled it in me for sure, but in any event, I think now that he's president has become very apparent to a lot of people that governing as a unified, is not something Biden either ever intended to do or other ever capable of doing he The latest thing I saw a couple days ago was story where I guess the author was cleaning or Democrats were complaining that people are holding the ongoing pandemic. Against Biden when they should be holding it against Republicans and on backs knitted people. It's like what Biden Lit we ran for president promising that he would end the pandemic single handedly right. That's what he said. I was his big picture against trunk trump made. This happen could have made it better and I'm going,

fix it. So if you don't want people to haunt you accountable for not doing that, dont say you can do obviously we all knew he couldn't, but I'm going to say then you're going to be held accountable, and I think that's that's one of the few things I've gone wrong in the first year and others are missing Afghanistan, that's one! His approval started thinking. I think he's doing. Fine in the ports at least appalling average. Up until then started taking never recover events gotten a lot worse. I think people are just seeing perhaps if extra inflation sing Democrats want keep spending, but aren't really actually getting anything done in Congress button? Doesn't it to be doing much, writhing, either and and sounds worse by the day. You know how to turn a fine figure out. What caused this What was the snowball but turned into the avalanche? Shake their really, they'll get picked up and in the last days old

every major mainstream publication has done some sort of while binding is really in trouble. Typees, and I think one of the triggers may have been a focus group of apparently nine or ten Pennsylvania Democrats. There was conducted either late last weekend, and I guess was done by sir along well as of one of the pop butchers avert the bulwark conserving conservatism. Now, I'm a bad conservative really read the bulwark all that often, but that gives us all up on the dot air called attention. Jonathan last over it. he conserving conservatism. Bulwark with watching spoke a scrutiny. shocked by what he saw and really the horror years? Not one of the people in this focus group light bite and personally guys it's almost like, but it's not likeable four five days ago, man all they wanted us to everyone in this focus viewed Biden. Isn't normal lying politician? Its

likewise it is a normal lying politician and then finally, none of them believe that publicans were to blame for the administration failures. Can you guys believe that its orbit? like there's a democratic control of the house of the set of the wider, and maybe there's nobody left to blame- maybe gotta go yet All majorities guest, when you have the majorities you end up getting responsibility for the state of the country. People hold you accountable the whole you're gonna get buying stuff on the shelves, and apparently we ve got like still show lined up with nine day waiting period. I've got outside of major ports so that they can find anybody to unload them. People can t But what is a gas prices, are like three dollars and change. The breakdown that people notice that the grocery those are a hundred bucks higher than they were, but a year ago they noticed that sort of thing. The elderly, schmuck, runs around the country. Saying oughta shut down the country going to shut down the economy are shut down the virus, and then it gets into

Two months later, not put, everything has been done. Every feels like to live. People are going to notice that no Jonathan, West Gonna blame Republicans bubble. You're, running the government right now. but I guess it's a I just don't take as I'm not conserving conservatism such I put this round what do you see on the horizon? That could boost Biden? I guess the most. You know it. Best guess for Biden come in is that you get the vaccine to come and online the virus is gonna, be crushed. The economy is recovering. You can just slipstream on good news. Broadly, that obviously come a cropper than you have. These self inflicted disasters at the border and Afghanistan and Elsewhere- I guess the the best case Now- is that they get the IMF's crush structure bill. They get reconciliation, bill,

and and slowly the economic disruptions here and there in a better place next yeah. But it's easier to see things that contain. to go wrong and and continued to to pound down on his approval rating and panic Democrats. But what you think. I think the situation described will if it comes to partially to moderate improvement in Joe Biden, small numbers, but I think what you're seeing here is the natural limits imposed upon somebody whose entire political purpose, at least since twenty nineteen, which do not be Donald Trump, and this now

Positive virtue that Joe Biden or anyone associated with him. Or anyone willing to defend him can point to the time exercises relative. Try this ask somebody It is Joe Biden objectively good at. And you will hear people say is preferable to trump or but Trump or he doesn't tweets stupid things yet find those criticisms of trump there. There also drivel mists every president who wasn't Donald Trump Joe by came in in one sense, at a disadvantage because there nothing there. There was no movement behind him and. By dint of a combination of his personal

shortcomings, which are many and his ideological blinkers he has made his predict meant worse than it had to be job and has in some senses become a joke in the way the Jimmy Carter have already and that's quite difficult to recover from you. I have People who want political casually, joking about Joe Biden, not maliciously, not ideologically, but make comments. The assumptions under which that he's senile that he's, incompetent, he's on his way out. ITALY or otherwise- and I don't know- Firstly, how you escape. That is a politician, but I also don't know what he can really do.

The other part of it is the case, and then behave Byzantium inhumanity somehow to be convinced by a group. Streaming part is on people that he was position that he's not in that being In a position of enormous political strength and personal popularity, started, seeing this back in February March, when you re political acts, your stories on his growing conviction that he was Lyndon Johnson or Franklin. Roosevelt. which was always risible. Of course he wasn't it's funny. If you read coverage of the coming political and say January, for prior to the Georgia run off. and then you read it January. Eighth, you are looking at two totally

worlds, and yet all that happened was the Senate when fifty fifty, instead of fifty one, forty, nine or possibly fifty two. Thirty eight and yet Joe Biden seem to believe that the difference between a fifty one, forty, nine Senate and a fifty fifty Senate is the difference between a completely Armstrong presidency and car blush, and so here managed to drive up his unfavourable by adopting all of the crazy nonsense on the left becoming friendly to filibuster, abolition becoming friendly to pack and the Supreme Court. All of the woke nonsense. am I don't. I dont want way out. There is for him. I do think his paw numbers will improve a little bit because they are tied to turn of ours and potentially to the economy. a little bit too

his agenda, although he would do much better said Simon Bipartisan, the structure Beilin and walk away. I think once we get Inter reconciliation, that's gonna be a double edged, Oh yes, summoned his own party will be pleased but that their opposition is going to be absolutely. yeah areas, headed straight for a no win on that one. The area so so really binding in its opposition to join watching at his son Who who is there because he's not chum who does not have any real scale as the president and whose chosen an ideological course it is designed. Polarize. So what about spite we see will be limited as a result, so then exit question to you. Please be specific decimal points permitted you look at? The five thirty eight approval

interact for Joe Biden at the moment is approved is at forty four point: five percent. Forty four point: five percent are just amazing: what do you think his approval, voting, will be at the end of the year. I'll say forty two point, eight forty two point: eight June. Having a mild improvement, but not one that really changes the dynamics, while Laissez four forty six, forty six Charlie Cook I think we might reluctant forty six, perhaps forty seven well would be a good number for him, but but you have to put down- context. Now I understand that people say was better than trump dead firemen and from love, and he lost Congress with him, that the argument that Joe Biden was making six months ago was that he was popular than he

floated somehow above a partisan differences and that, although publicans in Congress were opposed. His agenda. He spoke for the american people and now His approval raging among independent votes, is about thirty percent and is creating among called democratic constituencies, especially hispanic. So even if it goes back to forty seven percent, what is that, That means most likely that his approval rating among Democrats, which is currently eighty two eighty five percent as may be gone all the way back up to ninety five. Maybe he's gained a few more independent burden but he still be underwater with them. He still have inspired furious opposition from Republicans and he will be ill place to whether any subsequent storms which one down become so I don't think he is improving.

much by the end of the year and by the way this just where, where a different place. Now, if Biden last time asked us a couple months ago, if memory serves, whether he be above or below fifty at the end of the year, and I ve got was on by think that might have someone who said above. so I, but I think, he'll be roughly the same place, but take it take down. Maybe maybe I'll go with forty four point: two percent market down people remember forty four point: two with that. Many do a quick plug.

You got on a plane and wet tests of. Not Savannah word but just Savannah, that's right. and we asked my husband and I actually visits amount for about a day and a half as part of our honeymoon road trip, and we that so much we wish we had stayed longer answer are first big trip on a plane since then, as What's nurse now we ve done a lot of driving, but our first plane trip was back to Savannah it's a great time of year. We were here first and man now October, which I think are the two best times visit Today, but for any one of us

then it really is my fair city. I think I've ever been to in the south. The histories- amazing, it's beautiful, great food scraped. Southern charm can't be declared. He got kids renovation gone out. A lot of ladders. Yes. So, as I said earlier, when I saw the joke, listen to me not leaping from my chair to save Johnny's than from the consequences of his actions, was quiet and it is quiet because they're not here today. I think we're little more than half way. But at one point we were having the floors resurfaced and we re stained and that was gonna taken entire form, just couldn't block on it for a twenty four to forty eight hour period, would you like a slit level that makes it really trust me. She did not have access to your first Florida, so my wife, her infinite wisdom, says: that's, ok, what go in and out of our second floor bedroom window with a ladder

and I believe I mentioned to you- guys- were contemplating this- and I think was you- you helpfully pointed out that wasn't like ninety five percent of all have fatal household accidents, involve ladders or something ladders kill more american than terrorism every year or something like that, their plodding against us. They are trying to kill us so We managed to we basically YO then said: okay, we're start looking like were in a fireman or something like that. My son status for the poor thing ever. A literal game of the floor is lava. They love the idea of getting up in the morning and having your out a window down a ladder to start their day. We don't accidents fatal or otherwise, but you can't wait till the Czech till the kitchen because I know him living in a in a in a shoot and ladders game for the and Charlie you recently,

enjoy defined meal at the floor. A cracker cafe the Florida crack a cafe in August. In Florida we took the kids down to the pirate museum which they like it. It's a lot smaller than remember. Last time I think we went drink, the whole thing to ourselves. After what's view of neurons and Augustine, and we saw the sign for the Florida cracker CAFE. and we went in and you spoke Alexander about, Savannah, This is an old south establishment has well Florida, cracker food, Sangree AIR and I had there a gate, a sandwich, boy with alligator, had crap cake. Sandwiches and fried green tomatoes and grids and Jumble iron, all sorts it with some. It was great

in August in which should visit this a great battle at Tom, make sure to stop by the Florida cracker cap at any have about twenty tables but term it's worth the way you look at the man. You now looks good money. Appetizers is for a greater tail. Our finance gator tail frightened serve their own. Marmalades asked sober, So I've done a little coaching lately and realize there are few positions in american life that make you feel as powerful as holding a ban at at home plate, and hang out orders and hitting round balls to an end in field made I dunno Jim, what, if you dont like football coaching, maybe having out whistle and as flight football coach and an barking out, lays maybe it's comparable, but I gotta say is pretty amazing thing and it reminded me are laid great friend my the term reformer, literary editor of National

said, once least, I remember him saying this- trail, meaning that someone once wrote if that there's ever truly an american dictator he'll, be called coach will be known as coach, I was reminded MIKE for years the OIE denied or couldn't remember saying it, but I had some of that, as someone had some that special feeling, I don't wanna standing at home plate with that bad with that it's time for our energy, Jim Gary a you pick. So Might it be me selecting my represents my selecting truly crook, two weeks in a robot domestic with its Charlie's peace, basically asking what is Joe Biden good at ah was button. obviously the and, I think illustrated a really a really go cogent point at this moment. That he's not certainly not eloquent he's, not a big thing. Kurdistan ideas, guy you're, gonna, wonder what part of the job

Is he good at, and I just you know, to expand a little bit about thought in today's told me an observation that the role he paid and played in the primary as the elder statesmen, who could tell the progressive when the party? No, we can't do that. We can't afford that Sorry you're the grown up in the room the only rule he could have been good at these advocated it. So anyway, just really hilarious and is a really good point at the same time. So well, don't rather than with your pic matic, is he's from last week by Isaac, sure who has done a lot of great reporting on Virginia gubernatorial race and one of his latest pieces hammers tearing the caliph. For First saying parents should never be involved in determining the curriculum or books. kid scores, but then he uncovered that Macaulay. Own children, I went to a private school that has not one not to but seventeen pity. I committees troika.

My pick is by Michael Brendan Daddy, who asks whether Biden will declare victory over covered when it's time or whether his party wool, Such a step in and say no, no, no! No, we must do this forever. Michael spaces. Good Democrats are close to the covert trap and the argument is essentially that, while Republicans may have been premature in their rejection of various curve, it era, protocols and so forth. There is an equal and opposite risk. For the Democrats, which is that they hold on too long and that they try in the name of the most fearful people in the country to keep this going forever. Michael judges that were fairly close to

That point- and I give Michael a great deal of credit here, because if you go back and listen to archives, is this podcast you'll hear Michael freaking out about covert long before I even heard of it so, if he senses at that moment has come, perhaps has yet he was. He was a sound, the alarm early, there's no doubt about it. So my pig is a cover story. Semi. We can actually come up with cover image which workin on as we speak, but is that cover peace? The new print issue by George Guilder, a profound meditation on the nature of capitalism, making the argument that it has nothing to do with materials on in, All about the mind and idea, ideas and creativity, and just george- isn't just an amazing figure.
