1 00:00:00,280 --> 00:00:04,960 Speaker 1: Right before election day, seventy million Americans to receive an 2 00:00:05,080 --> 00:00:09,280 Speaker 1: increase and social Security benefits, one of the biggest increases 3 00:00:09,880 --> 00:00:13,239 Speaker 1: that you've ever seen. And this is how you try 4 00:00:13,280 --> 00:00:16,720 Speaker 1: to buy votes, try to have the midterm elections. Even 5 00:00:16,760 --> 00:00:20,360 Speaker 1: ABC News had problems with Joe Biden's claim that the 6 00:00:20,480 --> 00:00:28,080 Speaker 1: GOP will increase inflation. The Inflation Reduction Act doesn't have 7 00:00:28,240 --> 00:00:32,440 Speaker 1: much to do with inflation. ABC News actually said over 8 00:00:32,479 --> 00:00:35,680 Speaker 1: the weekend, Now I want you to hear this report 9 00:00:35,800 --> 00:00:40,479 Speaker 1: about seventy million Americans set to receive increase Social Security benefits, 10 00:00:40,520 --> 00:00:42,800 Speaker 1: and then I want you to hear the administration's lie 11 00:00:44,000 --> 00:00:48,080 Speaker 1: that Republicans will make things worse. What does this social 12 00:00:48,120 --> 00:00:51,920 Speaker 1: Security benefit bump mean for retirees. Well, hopefully it's going 13 00:00:51,960 --> 00:00:54,200 Speaker 1: to mean some much needed relief for the nearly seventy 14 00:00:54,240 --> 00:00:57,800 Speaker 1: million Social Security recipients. They've seen their budgets stretched thin 15 00:00:57,920 --> 00:01:00,440 Speaker 1: because of high inflation. Also, their nest egg have taken 16 00:01:00,440 --> 00:01:03,160 Speaker 1: a real wallop because of the plunging stock and bond markets. 17 00:01:03,320 --> 00:01:06,840 Speaker 1: So the average monthly Social Security check will rise by 18 00:01:06,920 --> 00:01:10,080 Speaker 1: eight point seven percent next year, the biggest cost of 19 00:01:10,160 --> 00:01:13,440 Speaker 1: living adjustments since nineteen eighty one. That means people are 20 00:01:13,440 --> 00:01:15,600 Speaker 1: going to see their Social Security checks go by one 21 00:01:15,640 --> 00:01:18,800 Speaker 1: hundred and forty six dollars a month. Certainly good news. 22 00:01:18,920 --> 00:01:22,520 Speaker 1: And get this statistic that I read twenty percent of 23 00:01:22,600 --> 00:01:27,120 Speaker 1: retirees depend on Social Security for ninety percent or more 24 00:01:27,240 --> 00:01:29,200 Speaker 1: of their income. So the fact that they're going to 25 00:01:29,240 --> 00:01:31,880 Speaker 1: be getting more in that check every month is welcome news. 26 00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:34,760 Speaker 1: So where does this Social Security as a program? Will 27 00:01:34,800 --> 00:01:37,600 Speaker 1: it run out of money eventually? That's a myth. A 28 00:01:37,680 --> 00:01:39,720 Speaker 1: lot of people are saying that is going to happen. 29 00:01:39,760 --> 00:01:42,240 Speaker 1: It won't bankrupt Social Security, but it will definitely put 30 00:01:42,240 --> 00:01:45,280 Speaker 1: a stress on the system. And it's estimated by twenty 31 00:01:45,280 --> 00:01:48,400 Speaker 1: thirty four, that's just twelve years away, social Security will 32 00:01:48,400 --> 00:01:50,520 Speaker 1: only be able to pay out eighty percent of its 33 00:01:50,600 --> 00:01:53,600 Speaker 1: benefits on less Congress acts. And I feel like Social 34 00:01:53,600 --> 00:01:57,160 Speaker 1: Security has been on congresses to do list forever and 35 00:01:57,520 --> 00:01:59,560 Speaker 1: as I can, they need to start to make some 36 00:01:59,600 --> 00:02:04,160 Speaker 1: real Let's talk inflation. We're looking at near historic eyes. 37 00:02:04,720 --> 00:02:07,520 Speaker 1: Where are people feeling at the most right now? So 38 00:02:07,600 --> 00:02:10,080 Speaker 1: let's just talk about where inflation is at the moment 39 00:02:10,080 --> 00:02:12,760 Speaker 1: of eight point two percent year over year. Our wages 40 00:02:12,800 --> 00:02:15,960 Speaker 1: are only up five percent, so clearly not keeping pace 41 00:02:16,160 --> 00:02:18,880 Speaker 1: and we took a look at some everyday items. Right now, 42 00:02:18,960 --> 00:02:22,080 Speaker 1: it costs the average household four hundred forty five dollars 43 00:02:22,160 --> 00:02:25,520 Speaker 1: more a month to pay for things like rent, medical care, 44 00:02:25,840 --> 00:02:28,800 Speaker 1: daycare expenses. When it comes to food, which is a 45 00:02:28,840 --> 00:02:32,040 Speaker 1: big part of the inflation picture there, we've got dairy 46 00:02:32,040 --> 00:02:35,040 Speaker 1: products and coffee each up better than fifteen percent, going 47 00:02:35,080 --> 00:02:37,280 Speaker 1: to cost you seventeen percent more for chicken, and look 48 00:02:37,280 --> 00:02:41,160 Speaker 1: at eggs up thirty seven percent. Of course, housing a 49 00:02:41,240 --> 00:02:43,560 Speaker 1: big part of the inflation picture as well, whether you 50 00:02:43,600 --> 00:02:46,600 Speaker 1: rent or you buy. So a one bedroom apartment averaged 51 00:02:46,639 --> 00:02:50,320 Speaker 1: about twelve hundred dollars last year. Today that's five hundred 52 00:02:50,320 --> 00:02:53,079 Speaker 1: dollars more. And if you're buying, you're still getting hit, Diane. 53 00:02:53,120 --> 00:02:55,920 Speaker 1: Mortgage rates are now at a sixteen year high and 54 00:02:56,120 --> 00:02:58,360 Speaker 1: gas prices remember they had been coming. I love this. 55 00:02:58,600 --> 00:03:04,560 Speaker 1: Mortgage rates sixteen year high, sixteen year high, gas rates 56 00:03:04,720 --> 00:03:09,040 Speaker 1: all time high for many people in their lifetime. And 57 00:03:09,200 --> 00:03:12,560 Speaker 1: so security and the Biden message, you're like, oh, here's 58 00:03:12,560 --> 00:03:15,400 Speaker 1: a little extra cash, it's not going to cover it. 59 00:03:15,800 --> 00:03:19,359 Speaker 1: And ABC News is telling you that, they're saying it's 60 00:03:19,360 --> 00:03:22,280 Speaker 1: not gonna it's not going to cover your expenses coming down. 61 00:03:22,560 --> 00:03:24,560 Speaker 1: We were enjoying that a little bit. They're creeping back 62 00:03:24,639 --> 00:03:27,360 Speaker 1: up now with OPEC going to cut production. The national 63 00:03:27,400 --> 00:03:30,079 Speaker 1: average now three ninety a gallon, of course a whole 64 00:03:30,080 --> 00:03:32,960 Speaker 1: lot more in California. And not to continue to be 65 00:03:33,000 --> 00:03:35,840 Speaker 1: the bearer of bad news, but home heating going to 66 00:03:35,920 --> 00:03:37,800 Speaker 1: cost us all more to heat our homes, whether it's 67 00:03:37,800 --> 00:03:40,560 Speaker 1: with natural gas, electricity, home heating oil, it's going to 68 00:03:40,640 --> 00:03:42,920 Speaker 1: be more one more costs going up. Now. We've seen 69 00:03:42,920 --> 00:03:46,600 Speaker 1: over and over again at the economy and inflation are 70 00:03:46,720 --> 00:03:49,120 Speaker 1: top issues for voters in the midterms. The presidents in 71 00:03:49,160 --> 00:03:53,440 Speaker 1: California today, among other things, saying that if Republicans gain 72 00:03:53,560 --> 00:03:56,280 Speaker 1: control of Congress, they will repeal the Inflation Reduction Act. 73 00:03:56,360 --> 00:03:58,920 Speaker 1: All of this gets worse. Let's say you to that. 74 00:03:59,720 --> 00:04:01,720 Speaker 1: I say that we've been talking about how the Inflation 75 00:04:01,760 --> 00:04:03,960 Speaker 1: Reduction Act is a misnomer because it doesn't have much 76 00:04:03,960 --> 00:04:06,880 Speaker 1: to do with inflation. Over time, it should bring down 77 00:04:07,520 --> 00:04:11,280 Speaker 1: healthcare costs and energy costs. This is a many years process. 78 00:04:11,320 --> 00:04:13,440 Speaker 1: It's not going to do anything for inflation in the 79 00:04:13,440 --> 00:04:15,440 Speaker 1: short term. And the Fed and interest rates, what are 80 00:04:15,440 --> 00:04:18,240 Speaker 1: you watching for there? We're watching for any relief on 81 00:04:18,279 --> 00:04:20,280 Speaker 1: the inflation front doesn't look like we're going to get 82 00:04:20,279 --> 00:04:22,600 Speaker 1: it anytime soon. So the Fed probably going to raise 83 00:04:22,640 --> 00:04:25,360 Speaker 1: interest rates by another three quarters or percent at that 84 00:04:25,400 --> 00:04:28,320 Speaker 1: November meeting, probably going to get another hike in December, 85 00:04:28,320 --> 00:04:32,800 Speaker 1: which means borrowing costs everything from mortgages to home equity 86 00:04:32,839 --> 00:04:35,039 Speaker 1: loans to your credit cards. All those interest rates are 87 00:04:35,080 --> 00:04:36,920 Speaker 1: going up. So if you can start to bring down debt, 88 00:04:37,000 --> 00:04:39,000 Speaker 1: now pay it off, because it's only going to get 89 00:04:39,000 --> 00:04:41,760 Speaker 1: more expensive, right, Alexis, Christopher is always great to have you. 90 00:04:41,800 --> 00:04:44,320 Speaker 1: Thank you, thanks. Yeah, that's how bad things are. But 91 00:04:44,400 --> 00:04:47,800 Speaker 1: don't worry. We got to figure it out right. The 92 00:04:47,839 --> 00:04:50,200 Speaker 1: main claim that we all have to go back to 93 00:04:50,360 --> 00:04:55,240 Speaker 1: here is that we had this reduction right, Inflation Reduction 94 00:04:55,320 --> 00:04:59,640 Speaker 1: Act that does nothing to actually reduce inflation. And that's 95 00:04:59,680 --> 00:05:03,159 Speaker 1: why that reporter just pushed back on the claim by 96 00:05:03,200 --> 00:05:05,960 Speaker 1: President Joe Biden that if Republicans gain control of both 97 00:05:06,040 --> 00:05:09,240 Speaker 1: chambers of Congress in the midterms, they will make the 98 00:05:09,279 --> 00:05:13,880 Speaker 1: inflation problem worse by repealing the Inflation Reduction Act, by 99 00:05:14,480 --> 00:05:19,720 Speaker 1: stating that naming the legislation the Inflation Reduction Act is 100 00:05:19,880 --> 00:05:23,919 Speaker 1: a misnomer because the law doesn't have much to do 101 00:05:24,000 --> 00:05:28,159 Speaker 1: with inflation. Quote unquote, and the legislation is not going 102 00:05:28,480 --> 00:05:32,000 Speaker 1: to do anything for inflation in the short term. I 103 00:05:32,080 --> 00:05:33,920 Speaker 1: need to tell you about my good friends at Legacy 104 00:05:34,040 --> 00:05:37,920 Speaker 1: Precious Medals.

Many economists are predicting this 106 00:05:42,080 --> 00:05:44,600 Speaker 1: is just the beginning and we could see a market 107 00:05:44,640 --> 00:05:48,320 Speaker 1: pullback well into twenty twenty three.

That's Legacy PM Investments dot com. 123 00:06:48,080 --> 00:06:51,040 Speaker 1: They're going rogue over there. At MSNBC, Mark McKinnon this 124 00:06:51,080 --> 00:06:55,320 Speaker 1: morning said GOP has completely abandoned any sense of ideology 125 00:06:55,360 --> 00:07:00,720 Speaker 1: as the Devil's disciples have enabled Donald Trump and others. 126 00:07:01,560 --> 00:07:04,599 Speaker 1: This is their closing argument ahead the Madgin, as we know, 127 00:07:04,640 --> 00:07:08,359 Speaker 1: will come to a halt. So Mark, let's talk about evolution. 128 00:07:08,960 --> 00:07:11,400 Speaker 1: You just mentioned Sarah Palin and many have drawn a 129 00:07:11,600 --> 00:07:15,240 Speaker 1: through line from Palen to Trump in terms of that appeal, 130 00:07:15,360 --> 00:07:18,880 Speaker 1: that celebrity populist appeal and Republican party. Not to say 131 00:07:18,880 --> 00:07:21,040 Speaker 1: that Trump's knot still with us. He very much is 132 00:07:21,040 --> 00:07:24,120 Speaker 1: and looms large over twenty twenty four and beyond. But 133 00:07:24,360 --> 00:07:26,720 Speaker 1: there are some Democrats who see two Republicans in particular 134 00:07:26,760 --> 00:07:29,040 Speaker 1: as maybe the air parents to the Trump mantle. Carry Lake, 135 00:07:29,040 --> 00:07:31,160 Speaker 1: who had just talked about who's the former TV newscaster 136 00:07:31,520 --> 00:07:33,840 Speaker 1: or Obama supporter, We should note, but it is of 137 00:07:33,840 --> 00:07:36,160 Speaker 1: polished and good and really good on the stump, maybe 138 00:07:36,160 --> 00:07:38,560 Speaker 1: the less threatening than Trump in some ways. The others 139 00:07:38,640 --> 00:07:40,600 Speaker 1: run to Santis, who's been able to use the power 140 00:07:40,640 --> 00:07:43,160 Speaker 1: of government in a very effective way to push through 141 00:07:43,160 --> 00:07:46,000 Speaker 1: his potical agenda, perhaps more effectively than Trump ever could 142 00:07:46,200 --> 00:07:48,440 Speaker 1: give us your assessment of Lake and DeSantis, but also 143 00:07:48,720 --> 00:07:51,720 Speaker 1: large is that where the Republican Party's going, there's no 144 00:07:51,800 --> 00:07:55,000 Speaker 1: question that's where it's going. And both Lake and de 145 00:07:55,120 --> 00:07:59,160 Speaker 1: Santis have perfected the kind of anti elite punched back 146 00:07:59,240 --> 00:08:04,040 Speaker 1: on anything establishment related, freezing and we are all the 147 00:08:04,120 --> 00:08:07,000 Speaker 1: enemy of the people. Casting in the light that Robbers 148 00:08:07,000 --> 00:08:09,360 Speaker 1: talked about. Robert also has as a piece in The 149 00:08:09,360 --> 00:08:11,640 Speaker 1: New York Times about Marjorie Taylor Green, and I think 150 00:08:11,640 --> 00:08:14,520 Speaker 1: it's an interesting question for Robert to say, what does 151 00:08:14,520 --> 00:08:18,000 Speaker 1: her ascendency mean as a first term congressman who's seen 152 00:08:18,040 --> 00:08:20,200 Speaker 1: as like a fringe candidate by most people. But in 153 00:08:20,240 --> 00:08:23,600 Speaker 1: a new Republican held Congress, Robert, what does where will 154 00:08:23,680 --> 00:08:26,080 Speaker 1: she be and what kind of power will she wield 155 00:08:26,360 --> 00:08:29,040 Speaker 1: in a new Congress. Yeah, well, Mark, I mean, it's 156 00:08:29,560 --> 00:08:31,560 Speaker 1: thanks for the question. I mean, when I undertook to 157 00:08:31,880 --> 00:08:35,360 Speaker 1: begin reporting on my book, it was December of twenty twenty, 158 00:08:35,600 --> 00:08:37,520 Speaker 1: Green had just won. But I thinkured that she would 159 00:08:37,559 --> 00:08:39,640 Speaker 1: be sort of kicked to the curb and viewed as 160 00:08:39,640 --> 00:08:42,679 Speaker 1: a marginal figure, but she knew something about the Republican 161 00:08:42,760 --> 00:08:46,400 Speaker 1: base that establishment Republicans did not, and has been able 162 00:08:46,480 --> 00:08:51,439 Speaker 1: to in the first reporting quarter raise a staggering amount 163 00:08:51,480 --> 00:08:55,680 Speaker 1: of money. Is currently now the fourth highest fundraiser among 164 00:08:56,040 --> 00:08:59,960 Speaker 1: House Republicans. Two of them are our House leaders Scalisa 165 00:09:00,480 --> 00:09:03,160 Speaker 1: and McCarthy. So for a freshman to do this shows 166 00:09:03,160 --> 00:09:07,760 Speaker 1: that she's onto something visa viva base. And McCarthy recognizes this. 167 00:09:07,800 --> 00:09:09,440 Speaker 1: And it's not just that he's sort of, you know, 168 00:09:10,280 --> 00:09:13,560 Speaker 1: humoring her by offering her plumb committee assignments and all that. 169 00:09:13,720 --> 00:09:16,439 Speaker 1: It's clear in fact that she has become a leader 170 00:09:16,480 --> 00:09:19,280 Speaker 1: without particular portfolio in the party. And so this is 171 00:09:19,400 --> 00:09:22,360 Speaker 1: the Republican Party that is essentially on the ballot for 172 00:09:22,400 --> 00:09:25,440 Speaker 1: twenty twenty two, and it's a party that, as Green 173 00:09:25,520 --> 00:09:27,840 Speaker 1: has said to me, intends to get certain things done. 174 00:09:27,840 --> 00:09:31,560 Speaker 1: And it's and this is not all performative politics. This 175 00:09:31,640 --> 00:09:35,960 Speaker 1: is actually a slate that is anti immigration, anti abortion, 176 00:09:37,160 --> 00:09:41,720 Speaker 1: anti gun control, anti climate change regulation. These are individuals 177 00:09:41,720 --> 00:09:44,000 Speaker 1: who believe in something and they are now the power 178 00:09:44,000 --> 00:09:47,920 Speaker 1: figures and the GOP. I love the fearmongering, I really do. 179 00:09:48,120 --> 00:09:50,839 Speaker 1: This is the only way that they're going to be 180 00:09:50,880 --> 00:09:53,000 Speaker 1: able to try to make inroads. They can't run on 181 00:09:53,040 --> 00:09:56,760 Speaker 1: the economy, they can't run on anything, right, I mean, 182 00:09:56,760 --> 00:09:59,680 Speaker 1: this is it, This is all they can do. This 183 00:09:59,760 --> 00:10:02,720 Speaker 1: is a whole ball game for them. And when you 184 00:10:02,960 --> 00:10:06,400 Speaker 1: hear the whole ball game and their whole game plan, 185 00:10:06,520 --> 00:10:09,920 Speaker 1: which is how they just described it, right, the Republicans 186 00:10:09,960 --> 00:10:14,600 Speaker 1: are extremists, are radical, their nut jobs are incompetent, they're insane. 187 00:10:15,400 --> 00:10:17,800 Speaker 1: So vote for us. We know your life sucks. We 188 00:10:17,840 --> 00:10:19,920 Speaker 1: know that inflations through the roof. We know you can't 189 00:10:19,920 --> 00:10:23,680 Speaker 1: afford things. We know that you're electricity bill, many of 190 00:10:23,679 --> 00:10:26,000 Speaker 1: them around the country have gone up by hundreds of 191 00:10:26,080 --> 00:10:28,120 Speaker 1: dollars over the last couple of months out of nowhere. 192 00:10:28,520 --> 00:10:30,520 Speaker 1: We know that the gas prices are going back up 193 00:10:30,559 --> 00:10:33,440 Speaker 1: and should skyrocket. We know that interest rates are sixteen 194 00:10:33,480 --> 00:10:36,040 Speaker 1: year high. But just know that major Taylor Green, right, 195 00:10:36,080 --> 00:10:39,319 Speaker 1: she's the crazy one. That is the Republican Party. That's 196 00:10:39,360 --> 00:10:42,240 Speaker 1: where you need to be. So, so Mark, help help 197 00:10:42,280 --> 00:10:45,480 Speaker 1: help me understand this bet all right, because it's it's 198 00:10:45,559 --> 00:10:48,959 Speaker 1: just so fascinating, because I can't quite figure out how 199 00:10:49,000 --> 00:10:54,439 Speaker 1: Republicans are duped so easily. You have. Let's talk about 200 00:10:54,440 --> 00:10:58,559 Speaker 1: the two people that right now, a lot of people 201 00:10:58,559 --> 00:11:02,120 Speaker 1: are fascinated by and talking about and Democrats. But by 202 00:11:02,120 --> 00:11:03,959 Speaker 1: the way, notice how he just says, I can't understand 203 00:11:03,960 --> 00:11:07,040 Speaker 1: how Republicans can be so stupid, can be duped. Right, 204 00:11:07,080 --> 00:11:08,800 Speaker 1: So after they come in and talk to you the 205 00:11:08,800 --> 00:11:12,120 Speaker 1: way that they just did, then they come back and 206 00:11:12,160 --> 00:11:15,439 Speaker 1: they tell you're stupid, and apparently that's going to make 207 00:11:15,480 --> 00:11:18,040 Speaker 1: you want to become a Democrat. Right if you talk 208 00:11:18,080 --> 00:11:21,480 Speaker 1: about how stupid the Republicans are, they're all just going 209 00:11:21,520 --> 00:11:24,480 Speaker 1: to see the lot of dinga. Oh, I had no idea. Oh, 210 00:11:24,600 --> 00:11:29,200 Speaker 1: you're right, we are stupid. Yes, wanting lower taxes, You 211 00:11:29,240 --> 00:11:33,680 Speaker 1: are totally correct, Yes, wanting lower gas prices, wanting lower 212 00:11:33,720 --> 00:11:38,200 Speaker 1: costs that grocery stores. I guess, I guess now I 213 00:11:38,360 --> 00:11:41,480 Speaker 1: have woken up to the wokeness of the left. I 214 00:11:41,559 --> 00:11:45,079 Speaker 1: had no idea how stupid I was, But now I know, 215 00:11:45,280 --> 00:11:48,839 Speaker 1: and I'm alive and I understand it, and I am well, right, 216 00:11:48,880 --> 00:11:52,960 Speaker 1: I mean, that's this is the let's mock them and 217 00:11:53,120 --> 00:11:56,360 Speaker 1: maybe they'll wake up moment. Right, Let's let's let's mock them, 218 00:11:56,880 --> 00:12:00,040 Speaker 1: make fun of them, and then here's their response. He 219 00:12:00,080 --> 00:12:05,800 Speaker 1: turned about Donald Trump, Democrat for most of his life, 220 00:12:06,320 --> 00:12:09,640 Speaker 1: gave millions of dollars to Democrats, and no, it wasn't 221 00:12:10,080 --> 00:12:14,800 Speaker 1: like back in the nineteen nineties. He contributed to Kamala 222 00:12:15,320 --> 00:12:20,720 Speaker 1: Harris's campaign in twenty fourteen. Right, and then you have 223 00:12:20,840 --> 00:12:29,120 Speaker 1: Carrie Lake, a baroque who sang Obama supporter, right, so 224 00:12:29,920 --> 00:12:33,520 Speaker 1: she was swept up with hope and change, just like 225 00:12:33,679 --> 00:12:38,240 Speaker 1: Donald Trump was a supporter of Kamala Harris and Hillary 226 00:12:38,360 --> 00:12:41,600 Speaker 1: Clinton and best friends. It seemed at times with Bill 227 00:12:41,679 --> 00:12:46,680 Speaker 1: Clinton he loved Democrats. He attacked Ronald Reagan, he attacked 228 00:12:47,120 --> 00:12:51,800 Speaker 1: one Republican after another. How how can it be that 229 00:12:51,960 --> 00:12:56,920 Speaker 1: Republicans embraced these people who were so hostile to the 230 00:12:56,920 --> 00:13:02,040 Speaker 1: Republican Party? The conservatism too. You know the part that 231 00:13:02,120 --> 00:13:04,000 Speaker 1: really makes me laugh about what you're hearing right now 232 00:13:04,040 --> 00:13:08,320 Speaker 1: from Joe Scarborough. Joe Scarborough was a conservative Republican back 233 00:13:08,360 --> 00:13:11,400 Speaker 1: in the day, Joe Scarborough was elected as a Republican, 234 00:13:11,520 --> 00:13:14,600 Speaker 1: not as a Democrat to Congress. Joe Scarborough had a 235 00:13:14,679 --> 00:13:18,160 Speaker 1: conservative radio show that I used to sit in for. 236 00:13:19,240 --> 00:13:22,840 Speaker 1: Joe Scarborough was such a conservative that actually one time 237 00:13:22,880 --> 00:13:25,760 Speaker 1: he threw out his back couldn't move, and they called 238 00:13:25,760 --> 00:13:27,760 Speaker 1: me and asked me to go do the speaking engagement 239 00:13:27,880 --> 00:13:32,360 Speaker 1: on his behalf down in Florida. That's how conservative he was. 240 00:13:32,960 --> 00:13:35,480 Speaker 1: And it's hilarious because he's basically saying, well, once you're 241 00:13:35,480 --> 00:13:39,760 Speaker 1: a Democrat, you're always a Democrat, right, you're getting bamboozled, Well, 242 00:13:39,760 --> 00:13:43,199 Speaker 1: then explain your change. You're one of the most radical 243 00:13:43,960 --> 00:13:46,680 Speaker 1: liberals out there right now. I mean radical is the 244 00:13:46,720 --> 00:13:49,240 Speaker 1: word that you have to say, you have to use here. 245 00:13:49,280 --> 00:13:54,480 Speaker 1: It's not conservative. He is a radical liberal. Now why, 246 00:13:55,640 --> 00:13:58,360 Speaker 1: I think he probably believes some of it because he 247 00:13:58,440 --> 00:14:01,720 Speaker 1: now lives in New York City. I think he wants 248 00:14:01,720 --> 00:14:05,000 Speaker 1: to be accepted by society in New York City, There's 249 00:14:05,040 --> 00:14:07,920 Speaker 1: no doubt about that. But I also think it's money. 250 00:14:08,760 --> 00:14:11,200 Speaker 1: Look at all the money this dude makes saying I'm 251 00:14:11,240 --> 00:14:14,200 Speaker 1: a Republican when you're not right, it's as easy as 252 00:14:14,200 --> 00:14:17,880 Speaker 1: getting on the view. Hate the Republican Party have Republican 253 00:14:18,000 --> 00:14:21,120 Speaker 1: views back in the day. They'll put you on the 254 00:14:21,200 --> 00:14:25,000 Speaker 1: view and say you're a Republican. And that's what his 255 00:14:25,080 --> 00:14:29,000 Speaker 1: show started out as at MSNBC. I'm a Republican who's 256 00:14:29,000 --> 00:14:32,360 Speaker 1: tired of the Republican the way the Republican Party's going, 257 00:14:32,360 --> 00:14:34,040 Speaker 1: and I'm here to save them, and then he just 258 00:14:34,120 --> 00:14:37,880 Speaker 1: became a hardcore, woke left he and now he's criticizing 259 00:14:37,960 --> 00:14:41,000 Speaker 1: other people who change just like him. He wouldn't have 260 00:14:41,040 --> 00:14:44,560 Speaker 1: a career, folks, if it wasn't for him becoming a 261 00:14:44,600 --> 00:14:48,720 Speaker 1: woke liberal. Now, whether it's authentic or not, I don't know, 262 00:14:48,800 --> 00:14:50,760 Speaker 1: and honestly I don't care. I judge him by what 263 00:14:50,800 --> 00:14:53,880 Speaker 1: he believes in today. Do I think that Donald Trump 264 00:14:54,000 --> 00:14:55,880 Speaker 1: used to be much more liberal than he is now? Yes? 265 00:14:56,280 --> 00:15:01,040 Speaker 1: But he did he bamboozle us? No, he didn't bamboozle us. 266 00:15:01,080 --> 00:15:04,040 Speaker 1: It's very clear that Donald Trump is a hardcore conservative now. 267 00:15:04,160 --> 00:15:06,360 Speaker 1: Was he in the past liberal? Yes? Did he wake up, 268 00:15:06,360 --> 00:15:09,320 Speaker 1: I think, to realize that the liberal ideology was destroying 269 00:15:09,320 --> 00:15:11,560 Speaker 1: New York City and other places like that. You better 270 00:15:11,560 --> 00:15:15,400 Speaker 1: believe it. That's what it was all about. Listen to 271 00:15:15,440 --> 00:15:18,600 Speaker 1: the closing of what he has to say here, okay, 272 00:15:18,640 --> 00:15:21,560 Speaker 1: and listen to Mark McKinnon come back and say, you know, 273 00:15:21,640 --> 00:15:24,600 Speaker 1: you're exactly right. There've been, they've been. The Republicans are 274 00:15:24,680 --> 00:15:29,720 Speaker 1: stupid everything that they supposedly care so much about. Now, well, Joe, 275 00:15:29,760 --> 00:15:32,239 Speaker 1: that's was so depressing for those of us on survivor 276 00:15:32,320 --> 00:15:39,640 Speaker 1: island in the Republican Party is the party is abandoned 277 00:15:39,760 --> 00:15:42,360 Speaker 1: completely by the way. I love this. Mark McKinnon is 278 00:15:42,360 --> 00:15:46,920 Speaker 1: not a Republican. Joe Scarborough is not a Republican all right. 279 00:15:46,920 --> 00:15:48,960 Speaker 1: On the View. You look at some of the people 280 00:15:48,960 --> 00:15:51,400 Speaker 1: on the View, they claim a Republicans, right, They're not 281 00:15:51,560 --> 00:15:56,720 Speaker 1: Republicans when you are voting for Democrats, raising money for Democrats, 282 00:15:57,240 --> 00:16:00,200 Speaker 1: advocating on Navar is a great example of this right. 283 00:16:00,200 --> 00:16:02,720 Speaker 1: I had to debate her for years at CNN. She's 284 00:16:02,800 --> 00:16:05,760 Speaker 1: now on the View as one of the Roundtable guests hosts. 285 00:16:06,280 --> 00:16:09,800 Speaker 1: Every time she's on, they claim that she is a 286 00:16:09,840 --> 00:16:15,600 Speaker 1: Republican every time. She is not a Republican. She is 287 00:16:15,880 --> 00:16:20,440 Speaker 1: a Democrat. And everybody knows that she is a Democrat. 288 00:16:20,800 --> 00:16:25,600 Speaker 1: She has supported Hillary Clinton, She's supported Barack Obama. She 289 00:16:25,840 --> 00:16:28,480 Speaker 1: is not a Back in the day, she I think 290 00:16:28,520 --> 00:16:32,200 Speaker 1: she was an opportunist conservative. She wanted to be around 291 00:16:32,400 --> 00:16:36,680 Speaker 1: famous and rich people, and she found a lane with conservatives. 292 00:16:37,000 --> 00:16:40,360 Speaker 1: Then when she found a better lane among Democrats, she 293 00:16:40,520 --> 00:16:44,160 Speaker 1: then switched. It's just that simple. She's what you would 294 00:16:44,200 --> 00:16:47,440 Speaker 1: refer to as a sellout, a con artist. She's a 295 00:16:47,440 --> 00:16:51,000 Speaker 1: con artist in politics. That's the only difference that is 296 00:16:51,200 --> 00:16:54,000 Speaker 1: the game. And the same way with this guy's like, well, 297 00:16:54,080 --> 00:16:59,120 Speaker 1: we're on Survivor island. Really, Joe Scarborough hasn't been a 298 00:16:59,120 --> 00:17:03,840 Speaker 1: conservative and ten years, maybe longer, you're not on an 299 00:17:03,840 --> 00:17:08,320 Speaker 1: island with Republicans. You're a hardcore lefty. That is That's it. 300 00:17:08,440 --> 00:17:11,399 Speaker 1: Just admit it. Be man enough to say that that 301 00:17:11,560 --> 00:17:15,639 Speaker 1: is what you are. Tim Ryan on fetnol epidemic. We 302 00:17:15,720 --> 00:17:20,360 Speaker 1: need a strong border, we need to be tough on China. 303 00:17:20,640 --> 00:17:25,719 Speaker 1: Democrats are not gonna like this. Tim Ryan is Senate 304 00:17:26,080 --> 00:17:29,359 Speaker 1: Ohio Senate nominee, and this is what he had to say. Listen, 305 00:17:29,680 --> 00:17:33,320 Speaker 1: too close to Ryan's heart is affecting many Americans the 306 00:17:33,440 --> 00:17:37,920 Speaker 1: US drug epidemic, with over five thousand Ohioans fatally overdosing 307 00:17:37,960 --> 00:17:40,600 Speaker 1: in twenty twenty one alone. There's not only the need 308 00:17:40,640 --> 00:17:44,120 Speaker 1: to prevent the inflow of drugs, but to implement comprehensive 309 00:17:44,119 --> 00:17:47,359 Speaker 1: mental health legislation that scares you to death. You know 310 00:17:47,440 --> 00:17:50,080 Speaker 1: this rainbow fen and all. Now that we're hearing so 311 00:17:50,160 --> 00:17:52,840 Speaker 1: much about, you try one of those things, now you 312 00:17:52,880 --> 00:17:55,960 Speaker 1: get end your life. And it's not fair. I wish 313 00:17:56,000 --> 00:17:59,639 Speaker 1: it wasn't that way, but those are the conversations we've 314 00:17:59,680 --> 00:18:01,400 Speaker 1: had our kids, and I think a lot of other 315 00:18:01,440 --> 00:18:04,080 Speaker 1: parents are having now too. It needs to be a 316 00:18:04,119 --> 00:18:06,480 Speaker 1: whole of government approach. You need, you know, you do 317 00:18:06,600 --> 00:18:08,600 Speaker 1: need a strong border. You need to know who's coming 318 00:18:08,640 --> 00:18:10,120 Speaker 1: in out of your country. You got to be tough 319 00:18:10,119 --> 00:18:12,320 Speaker 1: on China where the fent and all arises and comes 320 00:18:12,320 --> 00:18:15,679 Speaker 1: through Mexico and this process. But there's also the mental 321 00:18:15,680 --> 00:18:19,000 Speaker 1: health and the trauma, and I think really organizing our 322 00:18:19,040 --> 00:18:22,840 Speaker 1: schools around trauma informed care. We've learned so much through 323 00:18:22,880 --> 00:18:26,240 Speaker 1: adverse childhood experiences and all the research done on how 324 00:18:26,280 --> 00:18:28,800 Speaker 1: that impacts their future, and so how do we have 325 00:18:29,160 --> 00:18:32,800 Speaker 1: a smart government, a nimble government that takes this data 326 00:18:32,840 --> 00:18:36,679 Speaker 1: and all this research and immediately injects it into the 327 00:18:36,720 --> 00:18:39,520 Speaker 1: way we're organizing our education system. I think that's the 328 00:18:39,520 --> 00:18:42,560 Speaker 1: most comprehensive way. And you can't ignore food, like the 329 00:18:42,840 --> 00:18:47,760 Speaker 1: connection now between diet and mental health, diet and depression, 330 00:18:48,320 --> 00:18:50,560 Speaker 1: got bacteria.

A dude that's a Democrat comes out 335 00:19:03,640 --> 00:19:06,520 Speaker 1: and he's like, man, I'm gonna go for an open border. 336 00:19:07,200 --> 00:19:10,080 Speaker 1: This is a guy, an American politician serving in the 337 00:19:10,080 --> 00:19:12,760 Speaker 1: House of Representative since two thousand and three, who has 338 00:19:12,840 --> 00:19:15,359 Speaker 1: not been in favor of a secure border. He's a 339 00:19:15,400 --> 00:19:19,200 Speaker 1: member of the Democratic Party. He is Representative Ohio's thirteen 340 00:19:19,240 --> 00:19:23,879 Speaker 1: congressional district since twenty thirteen, and before that he Representative 341 00:19:23,880 --> 00:19:27,160 Speaker 1: ohio seventeenth congressional district.

He's running for Senate. 346 00:19:40,240 --> 00:19:44,200 Speaker 1: He's like, I need your help, please donate now. And 347 00:19:44,520 --> 00:19:47,200 Speaker 1: I'm in favor of a secure border because he realizes 348 00:19:47,240 --> 00:19:50,360 Speaker 1: that he's being left behind by the people in Ohio. 349 00:19:51,119 --> 00:19:53,760 Speaker 1: What you just heard, by the way, was on MSNBC. 350 00:19:54,920 --> 00:19:57,960 Speaker 1: Why are they doing this on MSNBC. I never gave 351 00:19:58,040 --> 00:20:02,960 Speaker 1: up Ohio, right, he says, I'm all about Ohio. I 352 00:20:03,040 --> 00:20:05,119 Speaker 1: love Ohio. We've got to have a secure boarder. Then 353 00:20:05,160 --> 00:20:07,360 Speaker 1: why didn't you vote in favor of it? Why didn't 354 00:20:07,359 --> 00:20:09,879 Speaker 1: you advocate for this in your voting record, because you 355 00:20:09,960 --> 00:20:14,360 Speaker 1: have not. I mean, this is this is just as stupid. 356 00:20:14,920 --> 00:20:18,960 Speaker 1: Is the newest information that's come out where they were 357 00:20:19,040 --> 00:20:22,320 Speaker 1: asking doctor Fauchi. By the way, in this exit interview 358 00:20:22,359 --> 00:20:26,960 Speaker 1: they call it they they started asking him about the 359 00:20:27,040 --> 00:20:29,960 Speaker 1: schools and taking the kids out schools. He said he 360 00:20:30,080 --> 00:20:34,040 Speaker 1: never advocated for that. That wasn't his thing. Yeah it was, 361 00:20:34,960 --> 00:20:40,360 Speaker 1: it absolutely was. Don't tell me now that you, doctor Fauci, 362 00:20:40,480 --> 00:20:44,000 Speaker 1: were not in favor of keeping our kids out of schools. 363 00:20:44,040 --> 00:20:48,560 Speaker 1: He said, that wasn't him. You can't just rewrite history 364 00:20:48,560 --> 00:20:50,639 Speaker 1: and now act like it wasn't you when it clearly 365 00:20:50,800 --> 00:20:55,600 Speaker 1: was you. I mean, holy blank, Fouchi said, this is 366 00:20:55,640 --> 00:21:00,560 Speaker 1: gonna be bad. Fauchi recalls bad feeling prior to Trump briefing. 367 00:21:01,960 --> 00:21:04,400 Speaker 1: This is now how he's talking about this. It's all 368 00:21:04,440 --> 00:21:06,959 Speaker 1: rewriting history and the media's letting him do it. Fauci 369 00:21:07,080 --> 00:21:10,400 Speaker 1: was often at Donald Trump's side at White House COVID briefings, 370 00:21:10,400 --> 00:21:14,719 Speaker 1: occasionally contradicting the president he served, but he decided to 371 00:21:14,800 --> 00:21:17,840 Speaker 1: skip the briefing that became the most surreal of all, 372 00:21:18,520 --> 00:21:22,199 Speaker 1: where were you when President Trump floated the idea of 373 00:21:22,200 --> 00:21:26,200 Speaker 1: injecting disinfectant? And then then I see the disinfectant that 374 00:21:26,480 --> 00:21:30,119 Speaker 1: knocks it up in a minute, one minute, And is 375 00:21:30,160 --> 00:21:32,040 Speaker 1: there a way we can do something like that? I 376 00:21:32,160 --> 00:21:34,480 Speaker 1: was at the White House, yet I didn't want to 377 00:21:34,520 --> 00:21:37,159 Speaker 1: go up on there with this because I had a 378 00:21:37,240 --> 00:21:42,679 Speaker 1: bad feeling about when Homeland Security brought this guy in. 379 00:21:43,240 --> 00:21:49,320 Speaker 1: He briefed the people in the situation room beforehand, and 380 00:21:50,200 --> 00:21:53,199 Speaker 1: as soon as I heard it, I said, Holy, this 381 00:21:53,400 --> 00:21:55,560 Speaker 1: is gonna go bad. Why don't I bow out of 382 00:21:55,600 --> 00:21:57,479 Speaker 1: this one. What would you have done if you had 383 00:21:57,520 --> 00:22:00,200 Speaker 1: been standing by the president when he said that, Well, 384 00:22:00,200 --> 00:22:02,679 Speaker 1: I would have to have said, hey, I would have 385 00:22:02,720 --> 00:22:07,120 Speaker 1: done this time out. Yeah, fac I love it right? 386 00:22:07,200 --> 00:22:09,639 Speaker 1: Oh oh my gosh. By the way, he didn't actually 387 00:22:09,680 --> 00:22:13,040 Speaker 1: say and inject it in your veins, but whatever, who cares? Right? 388 00:22:14,320 --> 00:22:17,560 Speaker 1: Anthony Fauci also rewriting history on the school saying he 389 00:22:17,600 --> 00:22:21,960 Speaker 1: has Anthony Fauci's plan to protect schools during the next pandemic. 390 00:22:22,000 --> 00:22:26,040 Speaker 1: He says, more masks and more mandated vaccine. Was it 391 00:22:26,080 --> 00:22:29,000 Speaker 1: a mistake in so many states and so many localities 392 00:22:29,520 --> 00:22:32,520 Speaker 1: to see schools closed as long as they were. I 393 00:22:32,640 --> 00:22:34,439 Speaker 1: think in some case I don't want to use the 394 00:22:34,480 --> 00:22:37,159 Speaker 1: word mistake, John, because if I do, it gets taken 395 00:22:37,240 --> 00:22:40,280 Speaker 1: out of the context that you're asking me the question 396 00:22:40,320 --> 00:22:43,200 Speaker 1: on it was too high a price. Yeah, I would 397 00:22:43,280 --> 00:22:48,280 Speaker 1: say that what we should realize and have realized, that 398 00:22:48,320 --> 00:22:55,000 Speaker 1: there will be deleterious collateral sequences when you do something 399 00:22:55,040 --> 00:22:58,760 Speaker 1: like that. This idea that this virus doesn't afflict children 400 00:22:58,880 --> 00:23:01,879 Speaker 1: is not. So it does. We've lost close to fifteen 401 00:23:01,960 --> 00:23:06,720 Speaker 1: hundred kids so far, but much less than the older population. Obvious. Oh, 402 00:23:06,760 --> 00:23:10,919 Speaker 1: of course, but you shouldn't discount that it does affect children. 403 00:23:11,080 --> 00:23:14,760 Speaker 1: So it isn't without consequences. If you go back and 404 00:23:14,880 --> 00:23:17,919 Speaker 1: I ask anybody to go back over the number of 405 00:23:18,000 --> 00:23:20,919 Speaker 1: times that I've said we've got to do everything we 406 00:23:20,960 --> 00:23:24,359 Speaker 1: can to keep the schools open, no one plays that clip. 407 00:23:24,960 --> 00:23:27,879 Speaker 1: They always come back and say Fauci was responsible for 408 00:23:27,960 --> 00:23:31,760 Speaker 1: closing schools. I had nothing to do. I mean, let's 409 00:23:31,800 --> 00:23:33,560 Speaker 1: get down to the facts. You're not the head of 410 00:23:33,560 --> 00:23:37,000 Speaker 1: a school board. But a lot of schools we were closed. 411 00:23:37,560 --> 00:23:39,639 Speaker 1: There was a lot of remote learning. They went on 412 00:23:39,680 --> 00:23:42,560 Speaker 1: for in some in some jurisdictions for the better part 413 00:23:42,600 --> 00:23:45,480 Speaker 1: of two years. Exactly. We've seen the impact. We've seen 414 00:23:45,480 --> 00:23:48,879 Speaker 1: what's happened in terms of lower reading scores and scores, 415 00:23:48,920 --> 00:23:51,359 Speaker 1: and who knows the psychological impact. I mean it was 416 00:23:51,400 --> 00:23:54,040 Speaker 1: a steep cost. It was. The most important thing is 417 00:23:54,080 --> 00:23:56,600 Speaker 1: to protect the children. So is there a lesson here 418 00:23:57,160 --> 00:24:01,800 Speaker 1: future pandemics That one thing is more of a focus on. 419 00:24:01,800 --> 00:24:03,920 Speaker 1: That is how can we protect the kids and get 420 00:24:03,920 --> 00:24:07,120 Speaker 1: them back to school exactly. And the way you do 421 00:24:07,160 --> 00:24:10,280 Speaker 1: that you get the people who interact with the children 422 00:24:10,320 --> 00:24:14,440 Speaker 1: to be vaccinated and masked. You provide ventilation into schools, 423 00:24:14,960 --> 00:24:17,439 Speaker 1: You try to keep them in the school safely. The 424 00:24:17,480 --> 00:24:20,679 Speaker 1: most important thing is to protect the children. So what 425 00:24:20,720 --> 00:24:24,000 Speaker 1: do you have done anything differently? No, except more mandated 426 00:24:24,080 --> 00:24:29,159 Speaker 1: vaccines for your kids. That's what he's saying, right, It's 427 00:24:29,200 --> 00:24:32,520 Speaker 1: all about the mandated vaccines. We just seem to have 428 00:24:32,560 --> 00:24:35,680 Speaker 1: more your kids vaccine in the future. That's the difference. 429 00:24:36,600 --> 00:24:39,879 Speaker 1: They still haven't learned, by the way, that you should 430 00:24:39,920 --> 00:24:42,080 Speaker 1: have the right to decide what happens with your kids 431 00:24:42,440 --> 00:24:44,840 Speaker 1: and your vaccines. They just want this to happen and 432 00:24:44,880 --> 00:24:47,480 Speaker 1: you're just going to have to deal with it. Rick 433 00:24:47,600 --> 00:24:53,879 Speaker 1: Scott now demanding action on election on electric vehicles that 434 00:24:54,000 --> 00:24:58,119 Speaker 1: have transformed into ticking time bombs by a hurricane. Ian 435 00:24:59,000 --> 00:25:02,960 Speaker 1: four officials are expressing growing concerns about fires involving electric 436 00:25:03,040 --> 00:25:06,240 Speaker 1: vehicles such as Tesla cars in the wake of the 437 00:25:06,320 --> 00:25:10,000 Speaker 1: hurricane that just hit. Senator Rick Scott is demanding action 438 00:25:10,119 --> 00:25:14,200 Speaker 1: for both the Department of Transportation and vehicle makers as 439 00:25:14,240 --> 00:25:18,680 Speaker 1: the ticking time bombs created by saltwater interacting with these 440 00:25:18,720 --> 00:25:23,399 Speaker 1: electric vehicle batteries is draining the resources of first responders. 441 00:25:24,600 --> 00:25:27,200 Speaker 1: In a letter, Senator Scott wrote, the emerging threat is 442 00:25:27,240 --> 00:25:31,440 Speaker 1: forced local fire departments to divert resources away from hurricane 443 00:25:31,440 --> 00:25:35,320 Speaker 1: recovery to control and contain these dangerous fires. Senator Rick 444 00:25:35,359 --> 00:25:39,199 Speaker 1: Scott is now demanding action from the Transportation Department and 445 00:25:39,359 --> 00:25:45,720 Speaker 1: automakers including Tesla, Ford GM, and others after many fires 446 00:25:45,720 --> 00:25:50,080 Speaker 1: involving electric vehicles transpired in connection with a hurricane. According 447 00:25:50,359 --> 00:25:54,959 Speaker 1: to new reports coming out from fire departments, they are 448 00:25:55,000 --> 00:25:58,800 Speaker 1: saying it's just to become a massive issue. This emerging 449 00:25:58,880 --> 00:26:02,720 Speaker 1: threat is forced local fire departments to divot divert resources 450 00:26:02,760 --> 00:26:08,639 Speaker 1: away from hurricane recovery to control and contain these dangerous fires. 451 00:26:09,400 --> 00:26:13,120 Speaker 1: Car fires from electric vehicles have proven to be extremely 452 00:26:13,200 --> 00:26:15,960 Speaker 1: dangerous and last for a prolonged period of time, taking 453 00:26:15,960 --> 00:26:20,200 Speaker 1: in many cases up to six hours to burn out. 454 00:26:20,960 --> 00:26:25,160 Speaker 1: Senator Scott joins Florida Chief Financial Officer and State Fire 455 00:26:25,240 --> 00:26:28,080 Speaker 1: Marshal who recently sent a letter to the National Highway 456 00:26:28,080 --> 00:26:33,080 Speaker 1: Safety Traffic Administration requesting information on the fire risk created 457 00:26:33,080 --> 00:26:37,000 Speaker 1: by saltwater mixing with batteries of electric vehicles. The State 458 00:26:37,040 --> 00:26:41,560 Speaker 1: Fire Marshal's office is in need of immediate guidance regarding 459 00:26:41,560 --> 00:26:46,040 Speaker 1: the response to fires produced by evs that are comprised 460 00:26:46,520 --> 00:26:51,040 Speaker 1: compromised as a result of the lithium batteries corroding from 461 00:26:51,080 --> 00:26:56,760 Speaker 1: exposure to salt water. Moreover, State Fire Marshal added that 462 00:26:56,960 --> 00:26:59,439 Speaker 1: two housing four to have burned down on Monday as 463 00:26:59,480 --> 00:27:04,240 Speaker 1: a result of electric vehicles catching fire. Already, electric vehicles 464 00:27:04,240 --> 00:27:07,480 Speaker 1: were seen catching fire in Florida after becoming water logged 465 00:27:07,520 --> 00:27:11,200 Speaker 1: during the hurricane, giving firefighters a new challenge they haven't 466 00:27:11,200 --> 00:27:15,720 Speaker 1: faced before. The National Highway Safety Administration says it is 467 00:27:15,760 --> 00:27:19,480 Speaker 1: aware of the multiple fires involving Tesla vehicles, according to 468 00:27:19,480 --> 00:27:23,120 Speaker 1: the letter obtained by Bloomberg. In its reply, they said 469 00:27:23,119 --> 00:27:26,960 Speaker 1: the lithium ion vehicle batteries fires have been observed both 470 00:27:27,200 --> 00:27:31,480 Speaker 1: rapidly igniting and igniting several weeks after battery damage has occurred. 471 00:27:32,119 --> 00:27:35,960 Speaker 1: In a separate statement to Bloomberg, they said the fires 472 00:27:36,000 --> 00:27:41,040 Speaker 1: involving electric vehicles pose unique challenges for firefighters. Meanwhile, the 473 00:27:41,080 --> 00:27:45,320 Speaker 1: Biden administration aims to quickly expand electric vehicles usage across 474 00:27:45,359 --> 00:27:49,520 Speaker 1: the country by having fifty percent of all new cars 475 00:27:49,520 --> 00:27:52,800 Speaker 1: sold in the US be electric by twenty thirty and 476 00:27:52,920 --> 00:27:58,800 Speaker 1: other Democratic lawmakers are seeking to make EV's mandatory. In August, 477 00:27:59,480 --> 00:28:02,159 Speaker 1: California and announced that all new cars sold in the 478 00:28:02,240 --> 00:28:07,240 Speaker 1: state must be zero admissions by twenty thirty five. It's 479 00:28:07,280 --> 00:28:09,360 Speaker 1: not going very well if you look at it from 480 00:28:09,359 --> 00:28:13,520 Speaker 1: that perspective. On another front, ahead of the election, Michigan 481 00:28:13,560 --> 00:28:19,440 Speaker 1: Republicans have now introduced a bill defining gender transition procedures 482 00:28:19,440 --> 00:28:25,919 Speaker 1: on miners as first degree child abuse. Republican lawmakers in 483 00:28:26,119 --> 00:28:29,880 Speaker 1: Michigan introduced a bill that would classify allowing a minor 484 00:28:29,920 --> 00:28:34,240 Speaker 1: to undergo gender transition procedures as first degree child abuse. 485 00:28:34,680 --> 00:28:37,480 Speaker 1: The House Bill sixty four fifty four states that a 486 00:28:37,560 --> 00:28:41,360 Speaker 1: person could be found guilty a first degree child abuse 487 00:28:41,480 --> 00:28:46,200 Speaker 1: if they knowingly are intentionally consent to, obtains, or assists 488 00:28:46,200 --> 00:28:50,680 Speaker 1: with a gender transition procedure for any minor. The legislation 489 00:28:50,760 --> 00:28:54,360 Speaker 1: defines a person as a parent, guardian, physician, or any 490 00:28:54,400 --> 00:28:59,120 Speaker 1: other licensed medical professional.

Republicans say they're optimistic that other 503 00:29:51,960 --> 00:29:55,840 Speaker 1: Republican colleagues will support the legislation.

However, it's not considered a felony 514 00:30:37,800 --> 00:30:41,240 Speaker 1: if an individual has found guilty of violating the measure. 515 00:30:41,800 --> 00:30:43,560 Speaker 1: This is going to be a very interesting story to 516 00:30:43,600 --> 00:30:46,160 Speaker 1: see how it develops, and obviously we will keep you updated. 517 00:30:46,640 --> 00:30:50,440 Speaker 1: I promise you we are going to keep covering this 518 00:30:50,600 --> 00:30:54,200 Speaker 1: story and letting you know the facts.
