You cant have an electric car as your primary vehicle if you are an ordinary family. The same goes with green power. We cant generate all the electricity that way. To make these massive investments, if it was possible and i dont think it is, then ten years from now we would have the most outdated electrical grid in the world because a lot of these technologies are rapidly evil and we have to be patient, the market is taking care of it, we are making more electric vehicles, using more green energy and this is going to happen. The other thing is joe biden is a jobs exporter. We still use oil, think of the plastic, saddam domestic oriole industry. He doesnt like texas. And given to saudi arabia.

As we get close to november how concerned should we be about potential for problems. The former chair of the California Republican party, republicans get accused of making too big a deal of mail in voting. Are they wrong . If you look at california the answer is no. This election and going forward, in connecticut important swing states like wisconsin and michigan, are they ready . California is clearly not, 102,000. The actual vote will be closer to 16 million which means over 200,000 votes in two issues, they relied on the mail, the mail delivered late or they mailed it late. We are relying on the Us Post Office but also this issue of the signatures. As california goes to an allmale in the system 60 million votes, they would have to check the signatures against each of those votes. They dont have the personnel to do that so what you would have is a massive amount of ballots that go unchecked. Jimmy carters Commission Said absentee ballots are the largest source of potential voter fraud. Todd 27 states allow no excuse, mail in voting, a huge swath of the country. We have did people getting ballots, why are they not cleaning up these voter rolls when i cant think of another job the registrar has . In california there was an order to clear up 1. 5 million registrations, 458,000 dead persons, getting 2 or 3, 178,000 have been registered but never voted. 2000 people in the california rolls, 105 years old and the fraud, it comes into the mailbox, why cant it simply be returned by anyone. When i was chairman of the party we had voter integrity projects where people watched them count these and check the signatures but with 16 million potential votes, they dont have the infrastructure, they are not ready for this election but some on the left want to push it no matter what. The gop has a Voter Fraud Task force, it will be interesting to see if they adopt something similar. This is something we need to follow over the next four months.

Jillian New York Timess opinion editor resigned over alleged bullying for her centrist views accusing the paper of mistreatment and using twitter as its, quote, ultimate editor. Todd we talk about these absolutely troubling details, we could have chosen a number of lines to read because this letter was full of them but we will go with this one. It reads in part, quote, my own forays into wrong think maybe the subject of constant bullying by colleagues who disagree with my views, they called me not the other racist, some coworkers say i need to be out of this companies to be truly inclusive one while others post ask him ojis next to my name. Why is this such a big deal . There are two issues is the treatment she faced as an employee of the New York Times, she alleges termination, potential antisemitic discrimination and a hostile and friendly workplace. The second issue she raises his political censorship at the New York Times. If any of your viewers are not familiar with her name that is because she is not a conservative or trump living hero, she is a centrist. The fact that someone like her has to resign at the New York Times because what she says, the editors makefor any opinions with those that appeal to the twitter mob tells me what the agenda is inside the New York Times and it is a sad day for the most prominent newspaper in america. Many conservatives myself included, not cheering on the New York Times, we get tired of the bias, the lack of viewpoint diversely but that doesnt mean we want them to go away. We would rather do better. Newspapers serve an Important Role in our american democracy and american society. Jillian a quote from the Editorial Page Editor on the resignation reading, quote, im committed to ensuring we continue to publish voices, experience viewpoints from across the political spectrum, we see every day how impactful and important that approaches especially the outside influence of the times opinion journalism has on the national conversation. Isnt it important now more than ever to have all sides of stories covered . That is what journalism is. Absolutely. The New York Times admitted they missed the story of the 2016 election, the rise of donald trump. They promised to their readers they were going to be better and she was supposed to be part of that. Instead it appears she cannot happily be employed by the New York Times. She potentially i think has grounds for a lawsuit against the New York Times for the harassment she faced. I hope this is a wakeup call for editors in the New York Times to stop letting twitter dictate its content. Am i hopeful anything will change . Unfortunately not. The agenda has gone too far and is run by editors who have an agenda and that agenda does not include the viewpoint diversely for even someone such as her who is a centrist, not a trump loving conservative. Jillian thank you for joining us, appreciate it. Now to this. A kayaker narrowly avoids a bite from a huge tiger shark went fishing off the coast of hawaii. Devon father shark was another kayak, didnt notice it until the last second. He was able to pull his legs back in time, he thinks the shark was attracted by the scent of the fish he just caught.
