jesse: great people make great impressions on us. buff not everybody idolizes the right person. as we grow up. not all of our heroes turn out to be the person we thought they were. for instance, i grew up idolizing michael jackson. i had the glove and everything. but we all know how that turned out. or sometimes the game show host you love might just punch you in the face. i can t believe you are a professional golfer. i think you should be working at the snack bar. you better relax, bob. there is no way that you could have been as bad as hockey as you are at golf. all right, let s go. [oh! you like that old samantha you want a piece of me? i don t want a piece of you. i want the whole thing. oh. jesse: as the saying goes, never meet your hero. and in 2020, democrats found that out the hard way. the left hailed joe biden as their hero. champion of all things liberal and defeater of donald trump. biden could no wrong in the democrats eyes. he was the party s kni
prices, inflation, and crime are so pervasive, their old bag of tricks won t work. we are watching in realtime the media grapple with how to save his presidency. these are the five new ways the press is you trying to save the presidency. step one, denial. don t believe your lying eyes. actually everything is great under joe biden. except for one tiny little problem. by any metric, with the exception of inflation, this country has moved forward under his leadership but however. inflation? that s a big metric. it is a fair metric. absolutely. there are also inflation metrics, you know, unfortunately government can do very little about. if there is anything to do if president is focused on it. jesse: since when is inflation joe biden s only failing metric? did she forget about the border? crime, foreign policy, energy policy? baby formula? you can t say everything is
now we are not supposed to talk about it anymore. and multiple effective therapeutics, whether they nit it or not, to fight the severity of the virus worldwide. not to mention after the original covid and then delta, our eyes ought to be wide open. and shame on us if as free people we allow covid fear to lock us down, mask us up and control our lives yet again. you know the phrase, fool me once shame on you, fool me twice shame on me. well, fool me with omicron shame on all of us. it is only our republic if we can keep it. in south africa alone, grounds zero for the omicron variant, the wall street journal notes, quote: overall, the proportion of people diagnosed with covid-19 who have been admit to the hospital. that s the big metric, over the past two weeks is in line with other waves of infection in south africa. which were driven by other variants.
none of that. because governor desantis and governor abbott, for example, win on that big metric. and if you don t believe me, just ask the number of americans that are moving to those states. you look at population inflows versus exodus, and debate is over. to your point, pete, they re weaponizing the virus for political gain. they need to attack governor desantis because he s a real threat in 2024. miranda devine laid that all out last night. watch. they re so in their heads, the democrats, particularly the biden administration, in trying to manipulate and weaponize this into an attack on particularly ron desantis, but on republicans. he is going to be a big challenge for them in 2024 and beyond. and so they want to preemptively destroy him, and they re going to use covid to do so. if they actually cared about covid and about these cases that
