point, give it momentum? no. i do not think so. i think kherson will fall the next couple of weeks and then enter old man winter. this thing will slow down on the ground. last thought, joe. watch the sea. watch the black sea. watch the fact that the russians have pulled back on his grain deal that s going to hurt huge swath of the developing world. right. if the grain can t get out. right now, today, as we are talking, brave sea captains, merchant ship captains, are still sailing that grain out. wow. without guarantees from russia for safety. quickly watch the sea. quickly on that, even as you re talking breaking news. russia says it will rejoin the deal allowing grain shipments from ukraine s ports, relieve uncertainty around grain supply. unusually good news. why putin has chosen that path. not because of his better angels. it s because he knows if he tried to stop those grain
doesn t want to get involved. but he s happy to go there with joe and jill biden? that s ooh very interesting. i thought it was a very marie antoinette moment for me, the whole scene there where you have the dow below 30,000, right? we have, obviously, an inflation issue that s not going anywhere, that s not even being addressed or talked about, by and large, by the democrats. and if there they are being serenaded by elton john. it must be nice. this after the inflation party right. with james taylor, right? they need to stop only this administration could put elton john and tone deaf in the same sentence, right in. totally. [laughter] that s what is happening. it s a complete misunderstanding of where americans really are. they think americans are outraged over the issues they re championing when americans are just outraged over allow us to live our lives. yeah. when we re talking about the november elections and we ve seen i wouldn t call it momentum, but we ve seen j

beginning of september, could republicans get enough people out on election day to counter what might have been a democrat advantage? that s the biggest question today. bret: it s about numbers. politico put it momentum versus math. the mcauliffe voters felt good with 53% voting roughly. youngkin needs to get anywhere from 52 to 55% of the vote today. that s doable but it requires a get out the vote effort that will be significant. and momentum clearly was going his way even in places like loudoun county in northern virginia and fairfax. places where republicans really haven t spent a lot of campaign time because it s overwhelmingly territory. a little fly in the ointment today. it s rainy and cold in the state of virginia. how will that impact turnout? it s not snowy and icy.
still being drafted. michl mcconnell has been a little bit in both places about whether he is going to try to make this happen and where it is as a priority. the president supporting it is a huge deal. this helps give it momentum and gives cover to republicans and conservatives who have been concerned about supporting a measure like this and him helping move this forward is a significant moment and it is important to note. if this passes, this would allow judges to downwardly depart from certain sentences in a way they hadn t been able to before. this really is aimed at nonviolent offenders aimed at first offenders as opposed to repeat offenders. it is aimed, except in one category. it is not aimed as sex offenders or violent offenders. but what it is seen as doing is rectifying some of what is widely considered at this point as the damage caused by the 1994 crime bill, which disproportionately impacted
