Many republicans? because for so long, moral character we heard that from evangelicals. we heard that from republican. i mean, that was supposedly the guidepost yeah. listen the partisan ship divides in our country run deep and they strike it the core identity of republican voters it is very hard for people across that barrier and say, i am going to vote for a democratic president. what i think the key is probably this election is find a way for republicans to preserve that republican identity and find a way to get there. and i think there s a lot of issues where people like jeff duncan hogging about issues of morality can say, this goes outside partisanship. right now, we re talking about the rise of the authoritarian american right? and the context of world war ii i was really happy to see an op-ed written by senate or senate minority leader mitch mcconnell yesterday in the new york times talking about quote, some vocal corners of american
Beaches, long sayyed, our allies does anyone believe these rangers would want america to go it alone today for more than seven decades since the end of the second world war, that by partisan answer to whether united states should go it alone in the world has always been no. and outside the fringes, democratic and republican support for nato has been, if not a given. and certainly the vast consensus. so in that nothing prison biden said today would even raise an eyebrow except again, by contrast one of the presidents of a big countries stood up, said well, sir, if we don t pay and were attacked by russia will you protect us? i said you didn t pay your delinquent he said, yes, let s say that happened no, i would not protect you. in fact, i would encourage them to do whatever the hell they want perspective now from garrett graph, his remarkable new book just out is when the sea came alive and oral history of d-day also joining us, amanda carpenter, who served as communications director for
Trrdemoedom loving leade and the liberal democratic world doesn t make a mockery of the men and women in uniformcrs no ackery of by ts apart and making a mockery of the nuclear familyf and pushing marxist ideology, transgenderism, lgbtq agenda and any freedom loving, liberal, democratic nation leader is serious about free and fair elections and not persecuting and prosecuting the political opposition. ecnorsecutinjoe biden is makingy clear this whole regime that s been established over the past four years since those blm and antifa riotss sinc is making clear statement to not justha americans, but to our adversaries abroad as well, that we ve become a nation that lackst lac seriousness, that actually doesn t appreciate the democratic ideals that he pretends to espouse. we were once a great constitutional republic, and there s no better demonstration of the sacrifice and courage that can be made by americans whendn they truly
Brian otherwise, it could backfire in terms of a political talking point that suggests that this is, this is a case to pursue a or that they could undermine the system of justice by using this as a case study. there s a real tension there because you re, if you re republican, judge, as you are, you ve got this balance to pull between wanting to suggest that there is a two tiered system that s targeting donald trump. and then proof of like menendez being tried. i mean, a top ranking democratic only recently as a sentence as an independent, the president s own son, how should voters evaluate the two? well, there s two separate issues here. i think if you assume the premise of the system is rigged, all these things, just pointing that direction. you can backfill your rationale as to why the fact that menendez is still a center or you, chuck schumer hasn t called for him to resign. that s just proof that the system is rigged. the fact that he s taking for say these are gold bars or what have you that s proof that the system is rigged. the fact that a hunter is on trial, not for the things that they think he did.
Democratic exercise. elections in a country of 1.4 billion people done and dusted. and here is everything you need to know about the results. the bjp one the most number of seats, 240, but it is still not the victory that narendra modi was hoping. he has 63 let s seats than what the bjp one in the last election in less than 272 thatis last election in less than 272 that is needed to have a majority. it means he is not the final word on politics or policy. he will have to rely on unpredictable rely alliance parties and establish a consensus. other things didn t go as anticipated. the state which was supposed to stand by the bjp didn t. 80 lawmakers come from uttar pradesh and thatis come from uttar pradesh and that is where they suffered the most losses. from 62 it is down to 33. the bjp alliance may be
Candidate of change because trump was the status quo. now, weirdly, because he s been president trump is the candidate for change that s interesting. yeah. are you wrote out in the article and it did. i started thinking about that. it does to many people feel like trump is the new person on the scene. and there s sort of an amnesia about some the the michigan that went on. yeah. no, i mean, he had is four years. and how much did your life really change? right. but if you want to turn the page, biden is the page, right? and that s and that s a big problem from also, if you are in so many democrats are and understand and so many independence and somebody never trump republicans if you are attuned to the awfulness of donald trump i find them quite awful it s easy to forget what a deeply unpopular president joe biden is. his approval ratings are awful. it s easy to turn away from the fact that he s 81-years-old and he wears there s those years, not particularly well that to me shouldn t matter nearly as
That you disclose it. but the fact of it is really in my view, in violation of the laws, by the way, the laws already on the books. justice alito is simply wrong. the disclosure sure. laws or legislation the bar on honorarium is legislation congress could regulate. they re just choosing not to judge gardner norm eisen. thank you. still to come, new polls suggest that a convicted felon does have a significant shot at winning back the white house. i ll talk the new york times is frank bernie who s latest column criticized the democrats do think it can happen trouble losing weight and keeping same discover the power of week-old to the beach gobi i lost 35 pounds as some lost the war, 46 pounds we go. and i m keeping the weight off we go via helps you lose weight keep it off. i m reducing my risk. we go v is the only fda
He s trailing 46% of the former president s 51%. and then nevada and other close wind by biden, he trails a similar 45% to the former president s 50%. both leads are within the margin of error. the former president s appeal to voters despite obvious questions about his character is the subject of this recent column by that new york times this is frank bruno. he writes, i m routinely gobs mac by how many people, including influential democrats, tell me that they can t imagine a victory by donald trump in november i m even more astounded by their reasoning. frank bruno joins us now, what, what is their reasoning that they can t imagine this? they can t imagine it because basically they think trump is so awful, right okay. i mean, i feel like i ve heard that argument before. i think i heard it in 2016, didn t i mean, that s that s the thing. i mean, you could call this idealism or you could call it amnesia, right people seem to know, granted trump has been saying things that i think are even more awful if you can quantify or qualify why these things. i mean, the vermin, the poisoning, the bloodstream. i
Much as his values as his policy prescriptions as that sort of thing. but for a lot of voters, it s really unsettling to vote for someone who seems sometimes is unsteady to them as biden does, there s also obviously, there s the war in the israel-hamas war. you hear from a lot of democratic voters are younger voters talk about, well, maybe sitting it out or a third-party candidate when people talk about sitting, it, does that drive you as crazy as it drives me? i don t understand the logic of it. i mean, just from a rational logical standpoint, i don t understand you have to have a preference. i mean, and in this case, i would say to them, listen, listen to these two men very carefully. listen to what they said today. you were just talking about this earlier in the show. listened listened to them, think about their values. ask yourself who is going to be a better steward of american democracy despite his faults and then tell me whether you really want to set it out or not. is do you think that was the other argument? i think there were many democrats who were kind of thinking, okay, well,
