they just got off two buses as they were headed to a church. governor abbott issued a statement saying he is sending them where they want to go. noting that l.a. is a self-declared sanctuary city. the democrat mayor karen bass went after that move call it cheap political games and a despicable stunt. she claims her city is prepared for it. okay. you asked for it, it is coming. abbott s move expands the program that sent thousands of people to vice president kamala s doorstep in washington as well as new york, philadelphia, chicago included. it is deep in crisis there, as you know in chicago. i mean, the crime is off the hooks. nearly 10,000 illegals are there now. some sleeping still in the police precincts. shuttered ymcas and abandoned schools. the homeland security committee holding a hearing to look into mayokas for his dereliction of duty. former border patrol chief testified mayokas new the administration s only border policy was to let as many people in as they possibl
now for his son is that you can now point at a metric. you can measure that policy and the place that most people point to is san francisco. san francisco, no other way to describe it, has become america s war zone. hotels are pulling out. drugstores closing down. very unsafe to walk there after 6:00. nobody wants to do a convention there. all kind of capital is leaving that city. unfortunately that is being pegged on soros s policies. his brand is tainted by san francisco and now other cities like los angeles where i am right now. you don t walk around here at night wearing any jewelry. beverly hills, everybody knows that. defunding the police may not be the best strategy for new focus on crime and safety. and all kinds of issues around security that will become major in this election. this will be a top three policy mandate. i think that s why it will be
but to some extent, i think that would be a misreading of what happened. americans weren t buying what many republicans were selling, especially election denialism, but that doesn t mean they re foursquare behind a progressive blueprint for the country either. to my mind, the midterms were more a repudiation of the gop than an endorsement of liberal policies. if the democratic party tries to shift to the left or try to reflect some of these new generational shifts, i m not sure if it will work because republicans have de facto veto power. but second, i think it risks backfiring because there really is a policy mandate to come out of these elections, i think it s for moderation. thomas gift, thank you so much for joining us. thank you. georgia s key senate run off election is heating up this weekend. the state s newly re-elected governor, brian kemp, is set to join republican nominee herschel walker on the campaign trail for the first time later today.

democrats lost seats in 2020, a lot of them, and it was they did not vote the american people did not vote joe biden into office based on a policy agenda. that is contrary to what i know a lot of democrats think there is a mandate. there has not been a policy mandate which is why you re seeing what s happening in virginia as a bell weather in the virginia governor s race the way the republicans are running there. we cannot ignore the political dynamics here with this, and i think the progressives are overstepping their hand as far as this mandate for this big, you know, overhaul basically of our social safety net in reconciliation at the potential expense of a bipartisan 69 vote passed bipartisan infrastructure bill that is actually good for everyone. that bill will pass. both bills will pass. i first was hopeful. now i m scared to death. tara, joan, anna, thank you all
