Covid contagion. i only care about hospitalizations and deaths, and those are mostly unvaccinated. not my fault, not my problem. well, you know, sir winston, i said earlier that im running out -- i have empathy and compassion only to a certain extent. you can lead a horse to water, as they say. i think that everyone now is educated as to the necessity of being vaccinated, and the fact that if theyre unvaccinated and now get the virus, theyre going to be in a hell of a lot worse position than tho...

Out a strategy, and thats something that will come to a head very quickly in the midterm election and 2024. theyre going to look up and say how are the voting laws different now and how are people able to make large changes to peoples voting in a way that feels scary? >> then, eugene, can you respond to all of what yamiche just said? the white house might say president biden and vice president harris have been all over this, focused on voting rights. have you seen any clear evidence of that? bec...

How people on the democratic base and feel about the party, specifically african-american voters. african-american voters are dissatisfied with where the party is. one, they dont feel that the party is talking to them. more importantly, i dont think they believe that their party is listening to that. they are not listening to african-americans. this week, when the president came out and announce that student loan repayments would start again, that was to the chagrin of a lot of african-americans...

To be in a hell of a lot worse position than those who are vaccinated. so im kind of at the end of my patience and sympathy for those who are unvaccinated and end up getting it. a covid surge is just the latest roadblock for the biden administration. the president now admitting democrats wont make that christmas deadline to pass build back better. so with a faltering agenda and faltering polls just how much trouble are democrats in going into the midterm? nobody knows this subject matter bette...
