interesting period right now. so what do you make of the current state of america? well, i put an album out about i think this was in 2005, and the title of the album was liars. and i have this tendency sometimes to be a little bit prophetic in the music that i make. and at the time, it wasn t necessarily about politics. it was just about the human tendency to be dishonest in great and small ways. in other words, if someone says, how do you like my new hairdo, and you don t like it, but you say, it looks great on way. you re trying to find ways not to lie and sometimes there s no way you can t. so i made a record about all the ways that people are dishonest with each other. i never thought that a political party would make that a canon, you know, that essentially the reason why liz cheney isn t in the republican party was because she refused to lie. in other words, to be a republican means that you have to first and foremost be able to lie. and lie until you get cornere
harrison an suv struck the curb of a downtown tunnel hard enough, that the vehicles tire needed to be replaced, bringing the motorcade to a standstill. harris had to be transferred to another vehicle in the motorcade, so agents could safely speared her to the white house. like i said, small incident in the grand scream of things, car hits a curb, nobody gets hurt, vice president makes it safely to the white house. and yet, the post carol leonnig reported that things about the episode had both the vice president and the secret servers leadership scratching their heads. first, there is the issue of, how today agent train to drive the most precious cargo in the country have a one car accident on a cleared roadway. when the president or the vice president travels in a motorcade, the streets are empty, you can see right there. so that part is weird. and other red flag is what the secret service agents did immediately afterwards, when they sent a message alerting senior leadership

secret service leadership scratching their heads. first, there is the issue of how did an agent trained to drive the most precious cargo in the country have a one car accident on a cleared roadway. the president and the vice president travels in a motorcade, the streets are empty. so that part is weird. and the other red flag is with the secret service agents did immediately afterwards. when they sent a message alerting senior leadership about what had happened, the agents reported that a mechanical failure forced agents to trance harris to another vehicle. the secret service director who is just one month into the job after being appoint bid president biden, secret service director had to learn from other agents that a mechanical failure is not what happened. the post reports the incident concerned both the secret service director and the vice president and revived worries about the agency s history of concealing its mistakes. the secret service is having a heck of a few mon
let s hand it over to kasie hunt and cnn tonight. you re right. we don t talk about grief enough. i m very much looking forward to listening to that podcast. thank you very much. i am casey hunt, and this is knight. we re in the midst of another general election season that will test donald trump s impact across the board. independents turned away from him in 2020. and as criminal investigations widen by the day, those independents are being reminded why they still don t like him. two third of independents say in a new poll that they don t want the ex-president to run for office again. and though he is not on the ballot this november, democrats, led by president biden, have tried to frame the midterms as a choice between democracy and trumpism, which the president defines as a threat to democracy. democracy voters, meanwhile are energized over abortion rights, trump, and more 62 days before the final votes are cast. where does that leave republicans who are on the ballot?
