transitory. i was not expecting multiple variances covid. hidened threat advisory some of the factors contradicting to the threat are roe v. wade. this would be a great opportunity for this administration to step up and lead and to tone things down. gas prices hit another record high today. now on the verge of $5 a gallon. it would be cheaper to buy cocaine and just run everywhere. steve: good morning, warsaw, virginia. this is your 6:00 a.m. wake-up call and you have got a beautiful day. right now it is 27 degrees there you are going for a high hey getting towards the summer. it s going to be 88 there and partly cloudy throughout the day. ainsley: look at that patch of grass i just want to run. steve: we just heard john kennedy talking about using an illegal drug and running everywhere instead of buying gas. ainsley: that s not what i meant. steve: welcome aboard, we are here on the mezzanine level of studio m and pete is in for brian. pete: i want to
steve: okay. so, you know, you have been in congress for a very long time. why was it you got primaried? you know, simply there is a left sector of our party that feels that the only standard that should be out there is that you should agree with me 100 percent of the time and that far left is trying to purify members just like the tea party did back some years ago against my republican colleague. so it s the fringes are doing this and, in my party, you got the far left that just don t understand reality. steve: well, and i think you are talking about aoc. she campaigned upon behalf of your opponent. who, as we just mentioned a moment ago, is trailing. but, when you look at, you know, aoc put a lot of effort into trying to get her elected. what does it say about that super left movement across the country right now? you know, the super left movement is not good for government because if you start setting up a circular firing
pete: it was no doubt, steve a very compelling presentation. almost something out of a movie. i was caught some of it live watching it just moments ago. and you felt like first of all, is he a better communicator than anyone else that stands at that white house podium. made a more compelling case than anyone else. we and it was very, very personal. you could tell it came from the heart. what i appreciated is that he didn t immediately impugn the motives of people that may have a political different political view than he has or the other side might have. now, the next step is what do those so-called solutions actually look like? and he did a lot of scolding congress, which is very popular and rightfully so. it s pretty tough to get together on anything of meaning these days in washington, d.c. the next step is, what measures actually get taken. and here s what matthew mcconaughey laid out from the podium about what he would do when it comes to things like guns. need to invest i
ever handle any kind of live rounds. the kind of security that exists in the firearms being locked up and not accessible, et cetera, et cetera. but we have 18-year-old and 19-year-old americans who are going and putting their lives on the line for our country and for them to come home and to not be allowed to exercise their own second amendment rights is. ainsley: that would be a problem. that s the problem. ainsley: that s the gun they are comfortable with and know how to shoot. steve: congress are meeting and people are demanding something happen. let s see what they come up with. meanwhile, yesterday, there was a u.s. senator from the great state of michigan, seemed a little tone deaf because, while we are all struggling to pay for high gas prices, she is driving a very expensive electric vehicle, laughing as she goes by the gas stations, watch this. here is debbie stabenow. i just have to say on the issue of gas prices, after waiting for a long time to have enough chips i
above? can both sides see beyond the political problem at hand and admit that we have a life preservation problems on our hands. steve: you know when he did that was so effective remember it was thursday night from the white house, in the cross hall, the president of the united states. he had asked the networks for network time at 8:00 p.m. they said we have basketball tonight so he did it at 7:30. essentially he was asking for his wish list of things that will never happen in congress. what matthew mcconaughey did was say look, there are people on the left and there are people on the right who are extremists. and we are being told that nothing can change. but he said he believed that the people in the middle, there are more of them who want to see change and want to find common ground than there are extremists on the right and left who he said right now have got the microphone. he said don t believe that stop drinking the kool-aid. they can make changes that
