How grateful are we for five for decisions? Will trump officials be able to launch in this town or any town ever again? Do Republicans deserve when in November, and will Charlie Cook give up Writing his hog, we'll discuss all this and more on this week's edition of he editors I'm rich Larry and I'm joint is always, or at least some of the time by the right. Annabelle Charles see, W Cook, Luke Thompson, the smartest political result, and we know- and then at all various boom boom do Michael Brendan Dorothy, the arrests and right have flom is on assignment. You are listening to a national view, podcast our sponsor this week- is quip. The revolutionary toothbrush, quick publics,

service announcement. If you're listening to this podcast on national, you d come. We are delighted to have you, but it would be easier for you and better for us. If you made as part of your feet at Google play sticker, tune in our Itunes, and if you like what you hear here, please consider reviewing us on Itunes. If you don't Could you here please forget. I said anything Michael. What did you make of this state of decisions? We got the the California Pro Life decision. speech decision really. We had the travel ban decision and we also had Janis here at the end of the term, is this a sweeping triumph for conservatives or should be be worried? but the narrowness of a couple. These decisions, Obviously I think we should be worried about the narrowness of these decisions. I am I am surprised that

justice, is like again and even Briar Anna have gone against. You know his pregnancy centres in for not wanting to advertise for abortion. Ino. Given Keegan's previous history, where she buys the Clinton Whitehouse that no christian couples. Have to rent their properties, gay couples are things like that was a little shocking to me. I do think. However, there are some consequences. Conservatives need to think about. It lifers too, in response to the ruling in care about California, which is that this likely going to undo pro life. decision that had forced in some states. It's a boar providers to shows all sounds or to provide other information about abortions effects

That was something that proliferates been trying for years. I think this victory four lifers will be a defeat and other places for them and but I think they should be celebrating because crisis, Parkinson's pregnancy centres are an the traditional way for proliferation to reduce abortion and free requires they entail all that we should be able to act institutionally for our social causes the other other cases, I think kind of came down the right way. I don't agree with with some of the policies- the truck Ministration has implemented that were the subject of these courts. Plague agree with a court that he has. The authority who implement them so on that, I'm power, see that vindicated and I'm worried about it being a five for decision. Such values just stick with that on it, the California

and the travel ban, so called travel ban decisions. How disturber you that there are four dissenters in both cases Ices stir, but I was surprised I think the two sides see the court totally different ways. The the travel ban. One especially bothered me. I don't like trumps policy here. I've never liked I'd like no iteration of it. I didn't like it when he promised it and I've written to that effect. But really there are two principles on which the descent, thankfully the descent relies one. Is that because things trumpets said he should enjoy less power, than do other president's. Not

an idea we want to start putting into law and to that, the decisions that Congress makes and, of course, the only power that the president has over immigration comes from statute. Congress is delegated this power. We can get it whether that's a good idea. I think it's not but physique of time. I word there is an idea that is, is bubbling up on the left and it made it into two of the descent that Congress is Hampered in its ability to make immigration policy, and thus the president is using POW that Congress has given him on the basis of the bill of rights, which has never been the law Erika the idea that animus judges have to look at decisions, and evaluate them for animals or anti first amendment content for farmers.

american history. The plenary pout Pass doctrine is obtained commerce, guessed. It only wants with immigration. Now there have been a You cases recently that of diluted that, but not remotely to the extent to which what Trump date should be set to judicial review, and yet there were four votes for that position found that alarming. I wasn't surprise when a random judge issues and national injunction on more than one. I wasn't surprised when the night circuit did the same thing, but for the Supreme Court to host for justice is who were willing to entertain the idea to explicitly that alarmed me Look where a on the question of how long to be by the four descent can you walk through what you think the political consequences will be the general decision? Ok. Well, I

I should say on the on the immigration decision, like the descent is chronically badly reason and written, and it's always disturbing. When you see Supreme Court, justice is willing to sign up to that I have a hard time seeing Alina Kagan actually being the deciding vote on this, and so I think, had there for whatever reason been a justice that had been absent have accused or something like that. I dont think you would have seen for liberal justices vote together and in fact, in that situation might have had a much bigger swing towards the administration side of things, but it is indicative perhaps of the extent to which Democrats now find themselves in the ideological minority party position and are starting to cluster together and while the liberal justices have historically in less, Tenures voted together much more tightly together. The conservative justices, which may have in fact been a leading indicator of coalition party politics taking hold the Supreme Court. It's it's not great to see the four of them in terms of the genus decision.

which eliminates mandatory deuce paying. This is boy it's hard to its hard to overstate how important this is. I might phone what we ve been recording has been blowing up with text messages from fellow republican political consultants, one of the great asset cemeteries in America. Campaigning is the ability of unions to demand dues from their members, many members who have to join the union's by dint of working where they work and then turn those dues into campaign spending and allowing people to. Opt out was probably the inevitable result of the partisan icy.

and of the american Labour movement. If you will, especially at a time where their rank and file are less enthusiastic about the Democratic Party, at least outside of the service and public sector unions than they ever been. But dad that conflict come to a head here and have this decision reached. I mean, if I am a democratic political operative. Its enough having to spend every week listening to this sort of pod, save America guys, you know vent spleen of my base and thus enervate them too. that my resource pool has just been dramatically cut, especially on the soft out organizing side. Is I I'd I'd, be eyeing a tall building? Frankly, if I want them so Michael the paleo side of you and pro working class side of you. Do you have any misgivings about the direction the country is pursued recently with public sector unions. Basically slowly getting this rate it well, I M

for in his ring public sector unions. I kind of agree with some of the old. You know old labour organizers- that there's no right to strike against the public that, the public sector in our menace to democracy- and you get first cities like the arrow, urge emptier worker owning significantly more than the average rider and the empty. I in New York City- and You get these systems weather teachers, unions or the empty air which become impossible to reform and against all that I do worry those about, decisions where you know join a piece of work that is unionized. I I don't think it is against her liberty, entirely your liberty proper he conceived to be obliged to pay a due to the union are principally, I think I am

I am against the decision. I worry about- in general, like this fits with my general worry that all in The two should all mediating institutions between the individual and the federal government. dissolving in some way or another, but that's it that's otter trend in this individual decision. It's good for the Republicans. like a crime and that on that pure critical measure, but as a total social development, the Charlie The question on this topic to you: what was the most important Supreme Court decision, this term gosh. Well, I'm going to say it was Nessler because Clarence ass. He wrote. The opinion has for a long time then uncomfortable with the idea that a certain sort of speech that the courts can invent and then regulate. Obviously, hate speeches one

as the courts never done that. But in this case it was professional speech, the court was asked to treat circle professional speech differently. Clarence Thomas in his opinion, says this, of course, which would violate the first amendment ten. I also believe so. What is worth that almost all commercial speech, which is another category, is unconstitutional, rightly stir regulating. It is unconstitutional, he went beyond the court. Rather he doesn't know me have much support for this view, but in terms of striking a blow against day- that we can subdivide the idea speech. I think this this case Niccolo was was crucial, Luke, most important, Ganis and Mitch. Mcconnell is American Europe Michael. I think I think Genesis is gonna, be the long term and long term on, and maybe not for the good idea

so, I ask straddle where I think legally, the most important was the the California speech decision, but in terms of its political consequences, Janis takes the price.

as such. I really want it Lee interrupt our discussion here to hear a little bit more about our sponsor quip. The revolutionary twenty first century. Toothbrush truth is, most of us are brushing our teeth wrong, not for long enough, and we forget to change our brush on time. That's because most brands focus on selling flashy gimmicks, rather than better brushing, but not quip. So what makes quip so different Mfa started. Quip is an electric toothbrush, that's a fraction of the cost of bulkier brushes, while still packing, just the right amount of vibrations to help you clean your teeth, crypts built in time. I hope you clean for the dentist recommended two minutes with guiding pulses that remind you, went to switch sides, quips description plans for your health, not just for your convenience. They deliver new brush heads on a dentist recommended shadow every three months for just five dollars, including free shipping world,

quick also comes with amount, that sections right to your mirror and unstick to use as a cover for hygiene travel wherever you take your teeth and finally, everyone loves quip. They were on operas only steamed one of times best. Inventions and quick is the first subscription electric toothbrush accepted by the American Dental Association plus their backed by a network of every twenty thousand dentists and hygienists, and hundreds of thousands of happy brushes use, quip Everyday quip, sausages, twenty five dollars and if you go to get quip dot com, slash editors right now, you'll get your first refill pack free with equip electric toothbrush. That's your first refill pack free at get quip dot, com, slack additives that spout G t Q, you IP dotcom, slash editors. Thank you very much earlier I use equip toothbrush.

and it really is an amazing device. It is like a toothbrush made by apple or something most electric toothbrush, this their very clunky and a little bit gross quip is very cool and very clean. Charlie mystic, with you on The next one we ve had another outburst of these periodic civility debate an american politics and oftentimes, I think, is counted bs overdone We ve now genuinely seen some alarming, trends with trump officials or people associated with the trumpet administration being harassed and public play. says the most famous example with Sarah. How could be sent is going to this small restaurant and Lexington Virginia under what she was doing. Lexington Virginia Lexington Virginia S like very far away from it?

thing? I imagine the restaurant scene is not lower, not many choices, probably Lexington Virginia. Do you know what is it wasn't network of your mind, Washington earlier They have Lexington, I'm not sure yeah. I think I've been there, maybe like an hour from Charles yeah, that's beautiful, but very remote. Thirdly, it is God's country, but very remote, and she was kicked out by the owner, and then you had Maxine water is giving this inflammatory speech basically saying, hunt down these people were of you'd, see them and get in their faces and confront them. What make this trend Charlie, how disturbing as it were, I'm not one who calls for civility and it's not because I am thrilled by people being rude or or ghastly to each other, but I think the idea that there was some golden age in american history and whichever Roma civil to one another is false, is a myth.

I also think, is undesirable. I think often when we talk about civility What we re doing sank be nice to my side, be nice to my team. We saw a lot of this without bomber I've written extensively about this in a free people, a route to politicians, their rude. Bout politicians, they call them names, they depict them in car. hence in unflattering ways, so I'm I'm certainly not. The view that everyone is to be polite to each other all the time, and I have said repeatedly that I dont think that words pull triggers and I don't want us to start somewhere. I think that one can draw a distinction between words and

Cartoons and political rhetoric and statues and television shows and so forth and mobs, and that the the recent movement towards a mob mentality has bothered me for two reasons. The first is ok. You got rid of Sarah scientists from the restaurant. I think the owner is entitled to do that slightly more bothered by the report that she followed her across the street into another restaurant and her anger, What happened last night to Alain Chow and Mitch Macaulay where they were approached by a mob is a little bit differently could have ten nasty. I will happen to pump on day the attorney General Florida is appalling. Someone spat in her hair. She says and eject. Kirsty Nielsen from a restaurant. We started, now to move into actions, not speech,

One of the reasons that we try to discourage that in civil society is a tempest, conflicts and people can get quite really drawn into physical conflict and in a country with this many guns that can have serious consequences. What worries me even more than that part, is the justification for it, but there are, of course, circumstances in which all attempts at ability and understanding and bi partisanship should go out of the window if you're hurting people into ovens or, if you're, trying to re institute slavery of yours people without a trial of your torturing people and so forth, but some of the people who have started to say we need to act now that this sort of behaviour should be means We are doing so on the basis of policy disagreements that, in the grand scheme of things, are quite minor and channeling. In doing so, the world view of honor minuet blaming him for this. I should be clear that their channeling, in some sense the worldview. If someone like Tommy's,

boats who says, while Donald Trump is bad news, but also mocker Rubio is bad news, because, even if he's not personally racist, he would support policies that is appalled, white supremacy and in it, quality. When you believe that somebody who disagrees with you on the zoning, all the climate, change or health care is really no different then somebody who is doing something heinous in front of you than you, we're going to give yourself permission to behave in ways that buck our social content, and I hope that more people not appealing to some mythical pass, not saying we should all be nice to each other. But I hope some people in prominent positions point that out that there is a large space in America for politics and that if we go down this road to quickly, we will crowd it out

look. I agree entirely with what choice had I think that the bright line is I'm comfortable with anyone saying anything about anyone really, I think the Nazi analogies over the last week or so have been disgraceful, but the the personal confrontations it is really a creates possibility of someone getting hurt, I think, is very likely. Someone is gonna, get hurt either because tempers they are in a confrontation, runs out of control, is Charlie, suggest or because someone just directly wants to take this to the next logical step, M Fraid and just set out a to hurt someone, but what he make of it and activities already been hurt right then, the right, the House Majority service carrying let around in his body because of this, but I think what we ve lost an american political culture. That's too bad is if gratuitous displays of incivility and that that's part of

striving. These calls for direct action from people like Maxine Waters, which is irresponsible. Like there's a big differences, Charlie said between speech and direct action might take. Direct action in the current environment or really innovative environment is, is dangerous both for the people doing it and for its targets. Either. We used burn people in effigy and that used to be viewed, as you know, acceptable part of PLUTO the test right during the during the citizen DNA Debacle, Washington was born and effigy in Philadelphia, while Philadelphia was the capital- and I don't think that's a bad thing. You know I think of had a little more sort of gratuitous displaced. incivility and anger short of direct confrontation. That would take a lot of the steam out and it would be for Americans and it would get us all outdoors, and you know like it's. An exercise in process might go on making thing about the redhead incident. We wash imposed rode up the story of what happened from the perspective of the owner

course valorize her and made a sound is so when she got this call it a bit o clock a night from a step. We think we Sarah Huckabee Centres, is on the premises like don't do anything, don't move I'll, be right there, I'm driving a writer. It's like that there is someone armed in armed and dangerous fugitive showed up in the restaurant worth. What sir, how can be does for living is flak for the President of the United States. Yeah. I mean the whole thing. It's interesting has turn around my head around how social media has changed these events, which has limit them much more immediate. You know if this been thirty years ago? You would have had local, storing the Lexington paper, maybe a day or two later right about what happened, and then it would have gradually filter to the national media in a slow way. Instead, what happens, is Sarah Huckabee Centres gets offended, goes on twitter vents.

Frustration which cause is tons of Republicans de meant their anger, the red hen and its owner and I do worry that social media. The way social media signalling works. The way that sociologists was for media works and the way Twitter itself, as is a kind of mob practice of. An outrage becoming viral and then ending in the symbolic death of the person by their firing by their employers. I do worried that there's a kind of psychological practice of gather in mobs kill. That is happening across from media. And oh, I do the be, The incivility debate as it exists on the left, is a kind of its a false, be mean. Basically, what you have is upwardly mobile people in the media saying trying to give himself permission to say a few to John Donald Trump or to say like

my butt, tis, etc can be Sanders, but the first time of late last That phrase has re writing what uttered oddly editors bycatch, I cleaned up a bit, but like that's what they're giving themselves permission to do right to vent is to vent their anger, openly inventors disdain openly in this performative way, the principle there Stipulating, though- and I think some do, this consciously and subconsciously is maybe The wackos on our side should take a few potshots and I think that's. The danger right is that there is this studied ambiguity of I'm going to be in civil, which means because I'm a respectable person, I'm gonna, just say, nasty things, but if someone else does something a little bit more edgy well, we know maybe don't be a fascist, so are especially when the word Nazis, friend or outlook is. We cannot sit right, so I mean this week

This was going. I thought this was going to come to a head faster, and then we had these go you shooting and the death of Heather higher at that at that right wing rally in Charlottesville, because you saw this kind of pattern of events of Miley Novelist- goes to speak. kind of right emerges and these teams of left and right wing, crocodiles, would go out and rehearsed little street battles but we're going to see a lot more of that and it seemed to die down, but maybe it I'll kick back up again search it s a question to you. This trend will get better or get worse. I think it's going to get better and less the Democrats don't the house and then I think you will start seeing ramp up look better or worse. I think it's gonna get worse and I think us putting all this under the auspices of civility is unhelpful, because that's not really what this is about, Michael but

Of course, I'm always can say worse at its peak all our people you they're partisanship as night as a kind of mega identity that encompasses all their values, they feel These incidents, if you are kicking out Now how can be sanders you? You would kick me out of your Russia if he knew what I really think. I believe- and I think people are- I don't know- angry feel vulnerable and they want to lash out on both sides. then come yet this kind. Have to be some bloodletting before this is over. I agree as definite gonna get worse before we move on limited, till.

Confronting Donald Trump and defending the integrity of their own. governing Institution. What do you think is there anything to be said for George was case? I think the flimsiest of his cases, evidenced by the fact he took about key words, are the middle of the column to go into a digression summarizing a man for all seasons. The public have all been. There come on my report and I figured out

Exactly unit differ professor, I mailed it runs out direct mail. Is this as I get it right, but more to the point at look. The implication here is that electing Nancy Pelosi, speaker of the house, will somehow be more effective means of defending american institutions, and I think that one can look at that with

the degree of scepticism, but beyond that, we'll never really makes the case, because the cases self justifying he says were implies that Donald Trump is premature, Marcia unacceptable as president, thus any organisation capable of denying the presidency that does not deny the presidency is violating its charge as that institution, or at least as the group of people occupying that institution, and that's it that's the argument, its axiomatic. He doesn't rehearse a particular set of high crimes. Misdemeanours are that would justify impeachment. There is not a specific impeachment cause that he's trying to really push here. And nor does he take a step back to ask whether not there might be some pretty compelling political incentives to not remove him. I'm reminded a little bit of the El Evan Mcmullin Candidacy for President, where you know a lot of the good in the great in in a conservative media types said: hey we're going to run,

explicitly sectarian single state candidate, with the goal of creating a massive political bordering on constitutional crisis in the house. Yet this utterly unknown untested tone. inexperienced, vacuous cipher, the presidency and you're the responsible. What does it growing footballs? No rights, just it's just like you, can't be the responsible people, if you're coming up with crazy hare brained schemes and so to sit there and be like the american constitutional order, is in jeopardy and then why we should do something that we ve never successfully done before. Which is remove a present from office through Congress. I mean it could have done it with Nixon Wesley, he resigned. Johnson came close but like that is. That is a kind of lack of self awareness that I just can't get my head around. I mean I've been extremely sceptical of this. This present, both his person and many of the priorities chosen for administration, but removing a present from office is not something to be taken lightly and four will to suggest that it is

thing that is not just to be taken lightly, but obvious strikes me as irresponsible and strikes me is not that different from the kind of fans, services, entertainment stuff that we get from talk. Radio, Michael Put this one. Are you better ran slip that does, There ain't reveal that not quite at Rubia level. A close I dont know how to put this gently. but if George will is only exe, size now on behalf of The decency of the people and of orange petitions I just don't know what to say to him, I mean so, do we want to go to preach frumpy in period a pre lap, Sarian American Republic. They gave us a leadership class that bequeathed to us the at war and a series of unfolding disasters across the Middle EAST, the worst economic calamities, since the great depression

a border crisis its? hopefully unaddressed and now, but now because the Republicans won't part disappeared in the removal of a duly elected present United States. Now we have a problem, I just don't know what world will is living in I or what he wants to live in. I mean it is the idea that we can just restore the Republican Party so that mandarins, like he himself can impose whose honour Republican Party of Free trade doctrine most of the party rejects foreign policy doctrine, that much of the party has come. To regret I mean I just don't: I dont know I I dont know who is speaking for and I dont know what he thinks the Democrats are going to improve upon here- that debt, publicans deserve in Congress to lose their office. I dont disagree, but

at the Democrats deserve to winning their place, that is totally unproven. I mean Greece is useless, I agree and that their ugly and and and nasty spectacle for Country shore. I agree, I just don't Be how electing Democrats is the solution to this Charlie? So if, if you're dissenting from George Welcome, which I assume you you will still, gonna be hard pressed to be as harsh as Luke and Michael. Are you up to the task now because I though I do disagree, that I don't share Michael's view of the Republican Party before Trump at least I don't share it in anything like the same Way and I Again, you alive a beat that Luke Thomson rent, so I shall try, but I should agree with look that's Evan Macfarlane is terrible. I never liked him for one second, and I always thought he was a fraud and I am quite proud of.

My judgment on that one there? It, though, briefly ever more. Very briefly, had a a color on the electoral maps remember that in the years ahead, Nepal, a couple I think, had orange orange line. He did have a boom, let among conservatives who agree with male things. I just never bought it. I don't know something about him with me: the runway right from the beginning, when he, when he came and spoke to us, the reason I don't agree with George. Were these three reasons ready Our maclaughlan did a great job, I think articulating some of them ass. I said many many times I see Congress as being the indispensable federal branch and ass I dont view everything in american politics through the lens of the presidency. I know that we all do that now. I know both parties to it. I know the press does it. I know we ten that way, even on this podcast, because

creates controversy, and he- sucks all of the oxygen out of the room and he wakes up in the morning and tweets, and then everyone talks about that and not whatever they were going to talk about. But that doesn't change the fact the Congress is in charge of determining who gets to sit in various- digital and administrative offices and that Congress Rights, the laws and that Congress has the power to do whatever it once really within them. A consistent absent of a few delineated responsibly it is- and I dont want that Congress run by Nazi Pelagian structure and the woman who one in New York fourteen last night. I don't think it would be irresponsible in my interests to hand them power now

Even if we did do it, I'm not sure it would help what George well is trying to achieve, which is to purge the Party of trumpets. In fact, it would presumably weaken the model rights and the non Trump faction it would make the republican Cork more extreme, that's what we ve seen happen and both parties, when they're out of power in Congress over the last ten fifteen years. Would presumably led republican voters to dig in behind Trump when the democratically run legit started, talking about impeachment or censuring, or just blocking water, it is the Trump wants to do damage coffin in his peace said that it.

and after ninety, ninety four, when Republicans took over Congress and then after two thousand ten, when Republicans took over converse again Morocco Bomber and Bill Clinton became the only game in town if we want to diminish and moderates and dissipate the influence. Donald Trump over both the Republican Party and also our politics. I dont think the way you do that is by hand to control of the legislature over to Democrats Now- calls. A Democrat would want to do that because they think they should be in charge God, that's entirely legitimate. I just don't think that George wills proposal it's going to achieve what he wants it to, and I also think it is in I'm sense, a sign that he has given a little too a precedent, centric world view which he doesn't hold yeah. I agree with all that would elevate tromp if Democrats were to take both houses of Congress, not

diminish em, at least within the party. These down certain no more committed to the council's constitutional structure than George Well believes a republican members Congress are, I mean that they will be just as deferential to a democratic president if they are still in power when they went and if they take back the White House and plus George was asserted, dismissed with the issue of judge, with rhetorical wave of the hand when as we're just discussing at the beginning of this package, is hugely important, who occupies the the slots in the judiciary and that something that will endure long after Donald Trump. As is present, as well as in especially in the Senate. You can elect allotted good republicans maybe maybe a really deferential Trump for George, whilst taste, but they will also be in Washington after Trump is gone.

Let's hit a few things lightning round, stalker almost out of time, you're such a strict exit question. rules here, I'll get you first Luke Harley Davidson is in the crosshairs of the president, It says the EU retaliatory tariffs, response to trumps ask if it no option, except for to move some production in city, EU and Trump is going after them hammer and tongs who will win the battle between Harley Davidson and President Trop Harley or Tromp really was here before trumpet will be hereafter Trump. I I would be curious to know what the sort of enthusiast of Harley Davidson are making this and to find out that all I'll do a pole of one I'll call my cousins by your bar and find out what he's hearing from his patrons Michael who went on in this battle trump one I think you're always customers, I think believe as Trump does. It hardly

should be made in America. That's the appeal I, think. Harley, though, is canny at least a signal that they might move to Europe because they do have an important european customer base. Charlie tool in Hollywood, Thick Harley, Elwin applicant duck, and over and play the long game, but it's gonna be under extremely intense pressure in the short term here somewhat comparable to what the analysts NFL faced when it. Buckled. So, Michael, we had a political earthquake in a democratic primary here in New York, where the fourth ranking a house Democrat goes down to a twenty something: a socialist a candidate who, came out of nowhere and wants to abolish ice and all the rest of it. This victory augurs well for Republicans Emily Harris, the democratic Socialists in America or all the above.

All of the above. the post, Boomer Democratic Party. Waiting to be born, and we just saw a little bit of it in this election preview. Why? as boomers received in their power and democratic Party, which is happening more and more as they age out as young people stop contributing more of their money, energy in votes to it. you're only see alert to the left, and we ve seen it here. This is These are the battle lines of the future being drawn. I think it's going to energize the the party even if it upsets the current elected in the Democratic Party, Charlie victory for a Publican camel Harris Democratic, Socialist America. All the above. Why think? All of the above I do think, there's a slight difference.

my predictions object. A good say should will take this for the greatest salt, but I think there is a slight difference here and that is that one of these persons platforms platform items was it tat. She thinks ice should be abolished, which is not a popular Few Donald Trump settler crazy things during the election, but a lot of them actually quite population. If I thought they were crazy, the whole America first thing not unpopular, especially after the recent wars. Harrison, not that unpopular that Muslims and ass. A regionally articulated was not that unpopular a flag burning amendment, that's popular, I think it's lunacy and its unconstitutional, but it sir it's popular There is a risk that the Democratic Party will vote to the left and have people who are out there, but but without whatever advice

teach. That brings so I think Republicans will benefit, but I also think that it is to this is good for the DNA eyes. four Kemal Harris and her wing within the Democratic Party, even if they don't eventually

when many elections Lucas it unanimous know. I'm not sure this will be good for Republicans, because an energetic democratic base which the prospect of insurgent candidates winning, will help bring people off the sidelines into the fold in turn out, as always, a bigger challenge for Democrats and Republicans is good for Democrats going into of Emma on the flip side. It is also going to open the floodgates in a way that even gave brats victory over air canter. Maybe didn't do especially with this Supreme Court decision coming down to day, organise labors gonna feel under siege and they're. Gonna want people to be actual dyed in the wool champions for them, and I would expect increasing numbers of litmus test its great for the dna. This will be

one of the best fundraising six days. I have to imagine and membership sign up days ever and I don't think it's good for Kennel Harris, because a lot of the criminal justice and immigration oriented positions that the hard left is now taking Rhonda exactly contrary to her record before she was in the Senate, as attorney general. You know you will sometimes here and in leftwing circles, people mutter things like camel. Harris's a cop, and so I don't think it's good for her. I think this actually means that there's gonna be a serious

ability for her on her record around those kinds of issues, but yeah I mean this is to give you a sense to compare it to the cancer brat thing is is apt, even though Crowley was fourth in line. He was basically second in line to the two hundred and sixty Pelosi, because nobody thought lawyer, Cliburn would and, as the chairman of the Bronx Democratic Machine, he was running really the last of the great urban machines now that Brady's out of and so imagine if air canter had been in a much safer district, had also been mayor of Richmond and still been majority leader when he lost in that's, that's pretty much what you're you're here I'm gonna go conventional in terms of the majority of answers here and agree with Michael and truly that the answer is all of the above Michael. It's had on a few other things before we go you're a fan of kids watching tablets and the weight of a vacation yeah. So listen. I know people get judges about,

screen time for kids and I do too, but one of the best the that ever happened to family vacations, especially they thing all long drive loading up tablets, which many families have multiple of these legacy devices now in their homes kids movies and putting them in the back seat of the car and stuff find the complaints before they even come up. We managed basically, seven hour drive to Cushing mean with. three and a half year old and a one and a half year old and I just think bob and Disney Pixel our former Wada, the wood got several views on the way up and back, and I'm just so grateful for so where are you on a Kelvin, Herrera trade? Why

royals fan and so am extremely sad to see him go. He is the last of us three man, reliever squat, that was, I don't know Michael you're, the expert won't, but one of the best release squads we've seen in you know the last x number of years and you know, got us too to world series in one one and I think, had planned to stay with the club forever, but it's a great rate for Washington and you know it signals that the royal sir truly retooling, so we won't just slide back into three decades of awfulness. Again Charlie, you been focused on Florida WASP I have. This is more of a right hand, Salaam light item, in that it's not light at all. Florida wasps are different than Connecticut Wasps. I've learned it almost unwarlike, hornets and two of them, they got into the house which cause great consternation, except for my two euro, too, wants to play with them

so I have been going around the house and discovering wasps nests underneath the gutters undead, taking them out, which has been enormously. Just another another thing to add to deal with down here from from nature, so My item is not light at all. It's the funeral for the great Charles crowd, hammer Charles being Charles. He stipulated how his his funeral would run. He did this and is just heartbreaking ethic. Think of this. He did this last August when he first went in for his surgery in the event that the surgery went wrong just go. To what an ordeal of this was at the end for him and for his family, his wife Robin and his son, Daniel and true to transform. It was a very spare service synagogue and each chase and went when

rules are first set out. I was as a little disappointed because I, like funerals, we hear a lot about the person and its truth of Catholics, what masses as well or technically you're not supposed to have eulogy And that that always disappoints me and when it was said his son, Daniel, read the instructions and when Fractions, was that his son, Daniel, would be the only speaker I this isn't gonna, be sitting at me enough Charles, but do they'll just delivered one of the most wrenching eulogies I've ever heard, heard. He is the picture of a faithful son, just rushed by this this loss and he could barely I get through but he did and was just such a wonderful remit prince, and I know I wasn't friends were Charles, new fairly well, and it really is deepen my my under

understanding of him. So might my heart goes out to war to Robin and too Daniel on the loss of what was We all know him. That is a great great public figure, but was really wonderful, husband and father. So, Michael with that, let's move onto our editors picks? What's your pic in the latest issue of national view, Kevin Limbs has a piece basically telling First, that they ve got to act. If you oppose what's happening at the boy. Or in any way it's up to Congress to make laws and for the president to execute them. Kevin in his own inimitable way clears way. A lot of the nonsense about family separate

and the causes of it and I'd, recommend it to any one. Look, what's your big, so I'm gonna go with the cover. What came once or Kim winds in Singapore by Nicholas ever sat for someone like me, who is has tried to be cautiously optimistic about the prospects of a summit, might call summit curious. He really brings the focus right back down to where it needs to be, which is on the North Nuclear Programme and what those applications are, and I think it's. I commend it anybody to read. Charlie with your bet, I shall pick Christian Gonzalez's peace, pushing back against Patrick demeans book. Why liberalism failed. We ve had a number of assets on this book in national review to the extent that anything has studied sweeter about an hour corporate life, This is another Exxon entry into that cash. Christian does not like and he thinks that Patrick Donny

romanticize is the past and downplays how good we have it currently, and I think he spot on my pig- is a J J Macao, a column on and a row urging people to stop lying with images. We just seen many examples of this of those who spread on social media and their totally misleading. Very often they just capture one particular moment in time that doesn't give you the full context, the picture The g7 might have been an example of this was a famous picture of Angela Merkel and the rest of the civilised world. Looking very sternly, and I at at Donald Trump and MIKE, I think, as I saw first on your twitter feed, there's another picture like ripe for right after that, where there are laughing- and it gives you a totally different crash, and this this trend peaked, probably not peak, but the worst reasoning, the time magazine cover with misleading picture of a or two year old migrant girl at the border crying

she had been up all night on this horrendous journey. Her mother was asked to put her down so she could be searched, and this was big and I cannot emerge of family separations, even though there is no separation involved right after the picture was taken, the child was picked up and shame on the tiger fur, who did multiple interviews without making this this clear. So that's it for us. You ve been risk listening to a national review podcast any re broadcast reach transmission.
