in tonight with its opposition to gop calls for stronger work requirements to be included in o anpposity budget agreement thatd be paired with a debt ceilingde increasebt cei. the issu now, the issue of a work requirement has actually emerged as one of the biggest remaining hurdles for reaching an agreement between negotiators for the white house and houseite ho republicans. rhere is a top gop negotiatous who s weighing in on thisighi tonight. that s louisiana congressman garret graveng in on thi s loui he said tonight his party will not drop their demand for tougher work requirements as part of a final agreement. now, democrats have converselypi argued that, listen, social benefit programs already have s as work requirements in place,n plc adding that to them. this is ale.l an necessary. meanwhile, as you pointed out, the president and his top advisers were over at camp david this weekend working perhap s as is june 5th. deadline quickly approaches. jason , we re all going t
with conservative and very conservative voters, is his strategy that is unlikely to succeed. and indeed what has happened in the last six months, jason ,hapn which we ve all seen is trump has consolidated his positionidh and with the attacks on him, whether it be from prosecutors, the medihia or even desantis,ot i s gotten stronger, not weaker. so i think desantis, especially with a very bad launch, which was full of glitches and really did not maximize his position. a i think he s got a difficult, difficult mountain to climb to take on trump. and right now, to make trump sp. the odds on that. senator . how how do you see the tangibles versus the intangibles? you know odds o, there s things thatthins get caught up in the polls. but i go tn tht to tele l you , the people who believe and support donald trump , you ain t moving them. they re notld trump moving.
curious to this, how far hoo joe biden s president , joe biden s connections go even during his time in the senate? i mean, we can see right now if there was a link analysis done by an intelligence agency, it would show through all othf thee text messages, through sources ,tony belinsky, through the irs and their investigations, through the special activities, refaat reports that were being put th by the department of treasury. all of this adds up to one thing and one thing only that foreign adversaries or foreign nation states were taking advantage. and kompasonly. fo izing the family, the biden family and all of those people connected to the biden s. yet what is so stunning andthisi this is something that gres g just brought up, jason , is the fact that our fbi and our us intelligence apparatus is completely hands off in investigating. and what makes mattershandin wok
look at the public s reaction in general. i don t see if i was a shareholder of thesees companies, i d be pretty fuming mad . well, let s start with the consumer, because the consumer, jason , has a lot of power. they see ads like this where they see placement of products in stores in the case ofer jason theyet, and they stop spending money and basically what happens is in the case of anheuser-busch, parent of bud bught,y what h 16 billion dollar plummet in market cap rate. so that speaks right there. you ve got this million dollarrh boycott of the dodgers that s going to hit the bottom line as well. when it came to disney, now it s fighting over its special tax status. right. r consumers, ifolders, d they don t want to see this,t to it s a capitalis seet society. right. companies can do whatever they want if they think this messaging is important. they can certainly move forwarde with it. but consumers and shareholdersy go are going to tell them we re not going to stand for it. and
of course they re paranoid. they didn t want to get caught. so now, as you point out, today, we learn there s thiso g text from the president s brother,caas you jim hunter. this can work all the deals arel still alive.s you know, i can worki ca with your fathern alone. that was right after the new york times caught on to to the the enrichment schemes being run by the bidens, which prompted joe , you know, to leave the infamous voicemail to his son . i think you re in the clear. i read the online story. voi ce you know, that voicemail puts a lie to the president s ludicrous claim, as you point out, that, you know, i knew nothing. i never spoke to my son about. these multi-million dollar deals. the reverse is true. jason , the record showsoe joe biden was a willing participant. sarah , as greg mentioned, it was this 2018ah, as new york times story which highlighte cit was ad the assocn between the bidens and this oil
