that the sky is blue, or do they punish them? to me, what would be interesting even in this trump era, we have seen a lot of times that people who are not playing by the rules, not abiding by the norms, are still being rewarded by a lot of voters. when you talk about the state of the gone right now, the state of the republican party we have talked a lot on the show and behind the scenes how donald trump is still the de facto leader. what is interesting is we have new reporting from our team that george w. bush is going to be fund-raising for liz cheney. former president. we don t see this all the time. this appears to be somewhat of a statement. am i overreading that? what s your sense. this is the dividing line in the republican party. it is really not split down the middle where it is half donald trump and half george w. bush and bush former administration folks. it is more kind of a 90/10
this country with what they ve done. let s be clear. this isn t about polarization as relates to the texas law, this is about that 15% that wants abortion illegal in all cases, including a young girl who has been repeatedly raped by her father who has no idea she s pregnant until after six weeks. in texas, they put out private bounty hunters for her. i mean, that is beyond the pale extreme. i bet if you took a toll on that, it would be 90/10. that s what the supreme court said. the party that overreaches
yes. this is not like some overwhelming crazy 90/10 issue. what has festered, and this is the problem in a numerical sense. if we want to stamp out the virus, and we have the vaccines to do it because god bless america, we re sitting on tens of millions of venes, you need thresholds of compliance and of vaccination that are hard to get with this hard core crew. and jeff, i feel like one of the things we saw, and you know, not to get too biblical here, but i know you studied religion. there s a little bit of, like, give us barabas moment in front of that crowd with trump looking like pilot, where it s like, i don t know. what do you want? you want the vaccines, you don t want the vaccines? he s catering to the crowd. he s not telling them. this stuff is not coming from him. it s coming from somewhere else. yeah, i think that s such an important point. while we focus on trump, on desantis, on greg abbott, we focus on these villains, we have
can take some of the folks as well. they should be more culturally at home in the middle east and i think it makes a lot of sense. laura: don t repeat the mistakes of europe. and europe does not want them. they don t want them. i m sorry, fran says no, britton does not want them, germany and sweden are trying to deport migrants, they put a temporary halt on that. but they do not want all of the influx of migrants into their countries, and i mean, take a poll on americans, from americans, what do you think that would be? it would be 90/10 no. here s the bottom line, there are a lot of people in afghanistan, millions and millions of millions who don t like the taliban and rightfully so, that does not necessarily mean that all those millions of people are jacksonian democrats who are pro-american and embrace our way of life. the most logical thing for people who do not want to live in afghanistan anymore is to find them a home in another country in southeast asia with
this is our bill. it s a bill that passed out of our committee unanimously. it has things that democrats like. things that republicans like. things that i think most americans like. that s the basis. i ve had a pretty good working knowledge of the fundamentals. and then there s things in the energy title. for me it was preserving. not so much of getting things in the bill, but the permitting reforms. one federal decision in the service transportation piece. the permitting council in the rest of it. and then making sure that the funding formula of 90/10, 90% going to states, 10% competitive grants. those things protect rural america and recognize that there are a lot of long roads that don t have a lot of people. that s worked for transportation funding for the last several decades. those were the things i insisted on. and being paid for. and so far all that standard has been met. and i understand that this is still being written. it s expected to be about 1,000
