and the house, too, sure, people in the districts like marjorie taylor greene paul gosar, andy biggs, matt gaetz, they don t have to worry. but there are 18 republicans representing districts that joe biden won in 2020. and that includes george santos, new york s third district, good luck on that one. and then all 18 of these districts associating that brutality of the republican brand with, well, marjorie taylor greene, the one who s calling for treason charges and stalking david hogg, you know, probably not going to be a big hit. we are already seeing the actual substantive policy concessions that kevin mccarthy made in the far-right. among the very first votes, this new house majority brought up two antiabortion messaging votes, and just remind everyone, this is a party that successfully attacked woman s bodily autonomy, and is looking to criminalize abortion across the country. they have already had table plans to bring up an extremely harsh border security bill, after some moderat
after some moderate members blocked the possibility of outright banning migrants from seeking asylum in the u.s.. and now, cued up, and it appears to be part of the deal, it s one of the many deals kevin mccarthy made to get the speakership. it s a bill to come to the floor, and that would abolish the irs and income tax, and replace it with a 30% national sales tax. that s the conservative wall street journal opinion page saying, please, don t do this. and they are right to say that. think about that for a second. but republicans take power. they get to control the house, and one of their first big votes is holding a vote on instituting a across the board, 30% national sales tax on all goods and services. like, the price you pay would immediately be 30% higher, broccoli, big macs, furniture. a widely terrible idea! you know, a ludicrous leap terrible politics. but honestly, i m not sure kevin mccarthy cares that much. that dude is living day-to-day right now, politically speaking. he s
amara. they all have a story. rosa flores, thank you for bringing us one of those. let s talk to john sandwig, he was the former acting director for u.s. immigration and customs enforcement more president obama. john, welcome. about 22,000 migrants we were saying at the top of this are waiting on the mexico side of the border, presumably waiting for title 42 to be lifted. can the u.s. handle an influx of that magnitude? amara, we re going to find out, i think. it is unclear what the court is going to but as you notes we could expect the court to lift title 42 as soon as today. i expect there is more than the 22,000 cued up. a lot of people like the folks who were just interviewed who tries to cross were pushed back into mexico and bidding their time. so in the immediate fall of title 42 it is an incredible logistical challenge for the administration just to process these people and deal with the humanitarian crisis.
there last week, about how that happened, and what that meant. and there are a number of different interpretations, several of them do have to do with pointing to god, or to some say america first. and some have hinted to qanon, as well. and we did see yesterday that he still played this song. it was all cued up, but it did appear to be an effort by the people running the show to not have that seen again, to not want to see those figures in the air next time. interesting. part of the thing, charles, the stakes keeps rising. whether he is direct in his orders, or as you have coleman saying, they re sorting giving a wink at a not. he knows what s he s doing. i want to ask you about this request for a special master that team trump proved one of their many theories of the case, which is this idea they have that the fbi planted evidence
firestorm, as you will recall, you were already in the press at that time, but subsequent polling showed that hmy support among white voters dropped more precipitously after that that should have been a minor trivial incident than anything else during my presidency. now, i don t believe that you were at the white house at the time, but i remember that summit where he and then vice president biden and the officer and professor gates were there having beers, there it is, we have the video, good job on the producers for having that cued up, did this derail the president on race? look, i think when president obama was inaugurated into office, there were people who were they ever going to support his presidency. the unfortunate truth though is that this beer summit and the
