hoping the russians will pump more oil to give them more money to build their military even stronger, i mean, this stuff makes no sense if you are a normal person, but on the american left it apparently substitutes for any kind of critical thought. maria: that s what strikes me. we see the poll numbers plummeting we see americans rejecting their agenda and yet he s not responding to it at all. he in terms of what s important to the american people. look, the government socialism doesn t work, but the people who believe in it believing it almost as a secular religion appeared they can t get off of it. so, you really end up with people who are asked fanatic as the revolutionaries in the french revolution or the revolutionaries in a 1917 in moscow and they believe and when you show them the facts, they reject the fax because it threatens
trying to cover up for what i think will be a disastrous election for his party because of his failed policies and rising inflation, rise in crime and chaotic southern border. he s trying to find excuses in advance or why they are about to be beaten very badly in november. maria: will they be able to get their voting bills through at this point or is that dead and what about the rest of the agenda? are they going to come back and try to get through a massive spending plan at some point in the next couple of months? no, maria, they won t pass these election takeover bills. we were able to defeat them last week with all 50 republicans united and kyrsten sinema and joe manchin standing up to their party refusing to break the rules of the senate to change the rules of the senate, so i suspect they will come back to a massive $5 trillion spending bill. joe manchin said he could not support it in its current form last month, but i think they will try to take another run at hundreds of bill

encourage incursion and fighting about what to do and not to do ect. maria: coming up arkansas senator tom carton cotton on the blunders that keep coming and then the beijing olympics a week away as the chinese communist party threatens athletes to shut up and an nba owner obliges. no one cares about the uighurs. you bring it up because you don t care, the rest of us don t care. maria: are us athletes in danger as they head to beijing as a marsha blackburn warned last week on this program. we know the chinese communist party choose to disappear a tennis planner player and i m concerned about the safety and security of these athletes and what they may be exposed to while they are there. maria: coming up, austin celtics center enes kanter freedom on the nba in c plus pictures
is not one time that they mention the uighurs because they know they have so much business going on in china and they did not want to mess it up. i think it s a shame and i feel like people need to care more about humanity than money, but i feel like we just need to keep these people accountable. maria: you have been out there trying to educate people in terms of what is really happening on the ground, but the nba and some of your colleagues, lebron james, la lakers are tied to china, so do you think at the end of the day it s all about money and doesn t matter how the ccp asked, doesn t matter that the ccp said it wants to overtake the united states is the number one superpower and will use its military might to do so as long as they are making money because of the 1.4 billion potential customers of basketball then they are fine with anything that the ccp does? is that what it comes
