Months of chaos and getting nothing done what a republican or really a trumper would want . Opposition is a position of strength against a perceived malicious force. You see, and thats the part you need to know. Too many on the left leave that out, okay . Theyll just be, listen to how stupid this guy is, hes saying all he wants to do is why . Because thats the part in a will beat you. The left is the enemy and the key to the white fright campaign. The Blm Mare aauders are coming with the bad hombres, the more radical, the more reasonable. Only we can save you. Only we. Sound familiar . Money knows the system better than me. Which is why i alone can fix it. I alone. We alone. Chip roy is a chip off the old block. He was asked about this just to make sure he wasnt taken out of context. He says i dont apologize one bit for pushing back, here it is, against the leftist mob. Mob. See, because 6th'>January 6th cant be about them, it has to be about the other side too. Thats the key. The leftist mob that seeks to destroy america from within. This from the man that doesnt believe 6th'>January 6th was a big deal, no Big Idea there, just what it was. I am proud of this country, not embarrassed by it, and i will obstruct the agenda of those that are, with everything ive got. You see, it is a holy war. Its a holy war. Thats what this is for them. And its working. And the question is, what do the democrats do in response . Can you attack it . Easily. Lets do it now quickly. Proud of the country, yet you want it to remain for 18 months in chaos. You will allow its capital to be attacked without recourse but youre proud of it. You will deprive money to people who need it to survive. You will deprive them of fixes to their Health Care but you care about your country. You see, the argument is easy. Its about how you make it and where you make it. And thats what well decide, who comes out on top in the midterms. Now, yes, it sounds like Chip Roy is more cut out for a role in a militia than in congress. But hes just an echo of an alarm that was sounded long ago by mcconnell. Listen to mcconnell. Our top political priority over the next two years should be to deny President Obama a second term. 100 of our focus is on stopping this new administration. Good news is, you can isolate what it is, in fact you can now say it is what it is. The problem is, do you have a counter . Because there is no shame in their game. They dont need to be about something virtuous off pretend to be about something virtuous for their side. Its more of a purity test. Are you really all in . Mcconnell opposed the latest covid relief bill. Remember, he said, i wont do it, i wont do it. But then what . Its too costly. Now, in kentucky, he is telling people about the benefits of all the money thats coming to them. Listen. Not a single member of my party voted for it. So youre going to get a lot more money. I didnt vote for it. But, uh, youre going to get a lot more money. If you add up the total amount that will come into our state, 4 Billion, thats twice what we sent in last year. Too many on the left are missing this for what it is. In Fact President biden missed it. Listen to his take. Mitch mcconnell loves our programs. Did you see what Mitch Mcconnell said . He told me he wasnt going to get a single vote in order to allow me to get, with the help of everybody here. Look it up, man, hes bragging about it in kentucky, its a great thing in kentucky, its getting 4 Billion to help, its amazing. Thats not the right read. Mcconnells not saying he loves the policy. Hes saying its bad policy. But he knows how to have it both ways. Hes saying, look at all this money thats going to come in, youre going to get it. So they know it as a matter of fact and they will attach it to him telling hthem that. There will be currency for him in that. But he gets to check the box of opposition, i didnt vote for it but its coming anyway. Its working for him. So biden is aware, right, he called it out, played to the irony, but does he or do he and the democrats have an answer that will help them win in the midterms . Because the democrats to my eye seem more intent on giving the party of trump more chances than to secure another chance for themselves to continue to lead. The proof of the suggestion. Why allow a trumper like mccarthy to add five seats to the 6'>House Select Committee On January 6 . Bipartisanship. You already tried. You know that mccarthy and the others have willful blindness because they only have eyes for what benefits trump. You gave them everything they asked for to make it bipartisan. Mccarthy and the others balked because 6th'>January 6th is bad for business. Now youre going to give them five more seats so they will be able to bash anything that is developed within the commission. So theyre going to be able to be there while saying its illegitimate and you expect something good to come out of this . How can it be to the good . Lets bring in the better mind of michael smerconish. Smerc, what am i missing . Allowing mccarthy to have five seats after they said were not doing this bipartisan, this is a joke, you wont look at the real riots, you only want to look at 6th'>January 6th. Now who do you imagine hell put on it and what will be the net effect . I think hell put trump loyalists on it. I dont know how from a political standpoint he cant. But let me wind the clock back a little further because theres a lot to unpack from what you just offered. Think about this, chris. 2020, the president ial election, was the first time since 1865 that the republican party didnt put forgth a party platform. How come . I think youve put your finger on it, because its much easier to unite in opposition to things than to be advocates. You dont have to pass anything, you dont have to get anything done, you just need to state your case as to what you oppose. You oppose critical race theory, whatever that might be. You oppose obamacare, even though you dont have a replacement for it. And its a bad strategy for the country, but its a pretty good political strategy, as scary as that might sound. Do the democrats, you think, have a grip on what theyre against, and do you think they have a counter that will help them in the midterms . I think theyre between a rock and a hard place because the only thing they can really get done with the control they have of the house and the 50 50 deadlock plus the Vice President in the senate, is through reconciliation, because of the presence of the filibuster, it really means that the president in large measure is going to go into the Midterm Election without being able to lay claim to legislative accomplishment for all the things that he promised. So unless youre prepared to redo the numbers on the filibuster, no, their hands are tied. And i think thats what Mitch Mcconnell, i think thats what kevin mccarthy, understand and recognize, that they can continue to be successful by just standing in opposition. One other point, if i might. Think about some of the strange bedfellows that now emerge on the republican side of the aisle. The one percenters and the white Working Class. What unites them . Not what theyre for, but what theyre against. Its not a bad strategy. But bad for the country. 80 of republicans say their party is acting in the interests of democracy. 90 of them say democrats are not. Do you think you would get reciprocal ratings like that in the democratic party about feelings about their own . No, theyre all getting their News And Information from the same source, right . Here, because we think its a public service, we run the footage of what transpired on 6th'>January 6th. If you were to go somewhere else tonight, youre not going to see it. And frankly, you havent seen it. I think that people are oblivious to whats transpired, as large as the stakes may be. Its part of the problem of being siloed in and not getting News And Information that is a balance. So going into the midterms, i mean, dont you have to believe look, we know historically that the sitting president doesnt do great for his party in midterms. Do you think this will be that more so than usual or do you think the democrats can make some kind of progress . I think that republicans have more difficult seats to defend in the senate. I think theres a possibility that theres actually a democratic gain in the senate. But in the house, history tells a pretty consistent story that the democratic party, because they control the white house, will be in trouble. Ill tell what you i dont expect to change because im paying attention to the former president s rallies. Hes not out there and hes the titular head of the party, right, until proven otherwise. Hes not out there advocating anything other than his opposition to the status quo. And frankly, thats the way that he ran the 2020 campaign. You think about it, chris, he would go on that other network and he would be encouraged to articulate an agenda for a second term. Never did it. Never took that bait, i guess, because its easier to just say what youre opposed to. Why . What do most people agree with about government and politics, mike . You hear it all the time on your Tv Show and a radio show. That we hate it, they stink, they all lie, they all cheat, they dont care about me, everythings getting crazy and theyre all about whats weird and no longer about whats american. Thats all you need. The question is is it just that they claim the high ground before the democrats could get it and get into the Anger Game . Or do the democrats just not know how to fight to win the way the republicans do . Well, i guess the democrats have to decide, you know, whether they want half a loaf rather than going for the full loaf. Is Joe Manchin are Joe Manchin and Kyrsten Sinema actually a good prism, a good barometer into whats going on with white Working Class voters that democrats need . Maybe they ought to be more welcoming of whatever can pass their muster instead of trying to appease the most progressive elements in the party. I really think that at the end of the day, and look, its not that its complicated, you know, mike and i talk about this all the time, its not that its complicated, its about whether or not you know how to make it happen. The obvious pitch to the white Working Class is almost the exact same thing as to the black or brown or any ethnic Group Or Race Working Class. They want and need the same things. And if you were to make that pitch that youre for them and these guys are stopping it from happening, that would probably be very compelling. The question is, how do you pitch the message, how do you get through the noise of them having been just washed and bathed in every kind of fear and animus for so many years now . And thats the challenge. But thats the group, mike. The group is not just college educated white suburban people. Its Working Class people. Whoever wins them, wins. Appreciate you being here. Well have a lot to talk about. Last word to you, brother. I saw something coming through. What did you have . I want to say this. I dont know when i became sort of the but i have to say, what happened to the days when you would have to go into a Midterm Election and have to explain what you accomplished, what you actually passed instead of what you opposed . We need to get back to those days. Youre higher, not just older. Thank you, brother. As for the leader of the trump party, is this Fact Or Fiction . A new Book Claims Donald Trump once told his former chief of staff John Kelly that, quote, hitler did a lot of good things. It was allegedly said on a 2018 trip to paris to commemorate the World War i armistice. The book was by a reporter at the wall street journal, thats a murdoch paper. Trumps camp denied the quote. John Kelly Hasnt denied the quote. Ahead, the Trumploving Qanon Kook is at it again. Oh, i went to the Holocaust Museum, im so sorry. Five minutes. Nazi era comparisons. Why . Because it works.

Of course the trumper from qanon went back to nazi references about democrats. This is what she is about. The Tweet Calling Plans to reach the unvaccinated, quote, medical brown shirts, of course she was going to go back to it. I know it was just a few weeks since her trip to the holocaust memorial museum. She came out and she was like this. Take a look. The holocaust is theres nothing comparable to it. There is no comparison to the holocaust. Shes full of it. You know, stop covering her like she should be taken seriously. She doesnt care. Shes an extremist. She seeks to divide. She is not about who gets hurt or history or being rational. Here is the truth. Because of people like her, we are the only country in the developed world that purposely slept on the pandemic and did so for political reasons. Think about it. We literally made ourselves sick. If you care about the country, you have to care about what helps and hurts. Look, greene is a kook but shes not alone. We reached out to her fellow Vaccine Deniers on the right. Massey, cruz, paul, johnson. I have offered them this show as a platform to have your case that the Vaccine Isnt necessary. They wont answer. They only want a pat on the back because they know their bs. But we cant let it go because we have to keep exposing it. The game theyre playing is killing us. Its as clear as the numbers that harry enten, the wizard of odds, has for you right now. Its good to have you, young sir. Hospitalizations. Lets start with that as a very important metric. Sick, sick enough that you have symptoms, sick enough with symptoms that you have to go to the hospital, all right . What do we see about where were seeing this . I mean, look, we know that the blue States, the States that Joe Biden won in 2020 have higher Vaccination Rates than the trumpwon States. What do you see right now over the last 30 days and change . The biden States have fewer hospitalizations than the trump States. Its not just that they have fewer. Its that the rate of hospitalizations is dropping. Look at that decline in the biden States. 32 drop versus a 4 drop in the trump States. This to me as a sign that the vaccines are really working, given that the biden States are so much further along in the Vaccination Process than the trump States. Hospital metrics is a key metric. You already hurt yourself if you earned up in the hospital. Hospitalizations are often a leading indicator of deaths. So well see where we are in a couple of weeks. This graphic troubles me because we know the vaccinations work, we now theyre out there, theyre easy to get but a ton of people are not getting one. Well get to it in a second, because its not just for whatever reason. Its that they have a very particular reason based on political animus and Misinformation Or Disinformation and its putting us literally in the position of being sick. The percentage of june deaths, lets Take A Look at where theyre coming from. Look, its clear as day. Its on your screen right now, folks. Look at that. The share of covid deaths, unvaccinated folks make up more than 99 of the coronavirus deaths in this country in the month of june. Less than 1 were among the vaccinated. You rarely ever see anything like this. This is one of the biggest signs that these vaccines work. If people would just go out and get vaccinated, we could avoid so many of these deaths. Fortunately deaths are lower than they were in january but they could be even lower. Every single death that we now have because of the coronavirus in this country, pretty much every single one was avoidable. Yet as i keep hammering in on, some people, for reasons, as youll point out later on, have not gotten the vaccine. Obviously its quite upsetting to me because No One wants to see anyone die from this. Look, before we get to the last slide, we know that by party, the people who say that they have gotten a shot or they will get a shot in the democratic party is up over 80 . And in the republican party, is somewhere between 45, close to 48. What other explanation is there other than politics . I mean, look, you pointed out right there, if you look at all the States that reached bidens 70 goal, they were all blue States. 20 of them did. None of the trump States did. Politics is playing such an acute factor in this. And its trust in what the government is telling you. There have been so many seeds sewn not to trust what the government is telling you. But in context, trump came up with the vaccine as far as the trumpers are concerned. So why wouldnt you go get it . Look at tennessee, show them that slide to make the proof of the pathetic here. Because look, i was told the other day on the radio, somebody was saying, shouldnt the democrats want republicans to not get vaccinated . I said, what the hell are you talking about here . This is politics. Were all americans. This is not about wanting people to get sick. But, you know, you have to look at this for what it is. People who arent getting vaccinated, theyre going to get sick. This is very scary. And we see it in tennessee. I study politics, right . Thats what i studied in school, thats what i made my professional career on. But were all americans. We should all want everyone to go out and get their vaccinations. You see a state like tennessee, you can see the national picture, you can look at individual States. 2 of the vaccinated make up the share of coronavirus deaths in june. In maryland, its 100 of the deaths in june were among the unvaccinated. We see this on the individual state level. Its so upsetting to me, it bol the fact of the matter is you can go out and get a vaccine right now. Go to your cvs, go to your walgreens, go to whatever your drugstore that has coronavirus vaccine. If Theres Anyone out there, go and get one. Its easy. Theyre safe. They work. The numbers show they work. There is simply no logical reason for most americans at this point not to get a coronavirus vaccine. And ill tell you what, ive heard two things. And one is shame on trump and the right. The other is shame on the biden administration. I literally had somebody, actually gave him a piece of my Ice Cream Sandwich, its the best Ice Cream Sandwich ive ever had from this place in long island, and he says, let me ask you, off the record, have you heard that in these vaccines there may be something that can track us . This guy had a nice boat, he had a nice family with him, a guy of means, he had done well in his life, and he was asking me an honest question, is there a Tracking Device in the vaccine. And the answer is not just no, its where did you get that craziness. And here is the part i dont like. And every time i get asked this i say the same thing, harry, and its important for the audience to know, you already know it, when people say to me, hey, can Statesman mandate it . They shouldnt. Why . Can i take something when its not approved yet . Yes, its approved for emergency use authorization. But why hasnt it been approved by the fda . This is a mistake and its on bidens watch. I know it takes time. But talk to people about it. Because it is growing as a concern. Why isnt it approved for ordinary use if its as safe as all the data says it is . And dont hang me up in process. Make the case to the people. Its making us sick. Its part of the problem. Harry enten, youre part of the solution. Pure information and insight, love you. Thank you, brother. You hear what happened in H Haiti . A prime minister, shot. His wife shot, struggled for her life.

Breaking news, reuters reporting at least two suspected attackers behind the assassination of the haitian president have been arrested. Other suspects in the attack, we dont know how many, have reportedly been killed. This information comes from haitis police chief. And we have audio of the purported attackers posted to social media. Its too dark to see but you can hear someone yelling that this is a dea operation. Cnn cannot independently authenticate this footage. There has been no claim of ownership from anywhere in the united States government. Listen. Today operation, Everybody Stand Down dea operation, Everybody Stand Down, dea operation, Everybody Stand Down dea operation, Everybody Stand Down dea operation, Everybody Stand Down also new, we have video believed to be from outside the leaders home, showing a Security Convoy Right after the murder. Cnn has also not confirmed this video. The haitian ambassador says the suspects spoke spanish and english with american accents. The State Department says the assassins exposed dea claims are absolutely false. Should the u. S. Be stepping in now to prevent further turmoil or will they be forced to do so in the not so distant future . One of the top minds here to discuss, phil mudd. First, dea, any chance . NO Way, not a chance. I think the easy explanation for this is that somebody apparently pretty welltrained, youve got to think through this, chris, if youre going to do this with the sophistication we just saw, somebody pretty welltrained said how do i get the Security Perimeter around the president for at least 10 seconds, 30 seconds, a minute, to think this is a Dea Raid to stand down . This is a serious group, chris. What do you think of reports from the haitian police that they killed some of the suspects and that they detained two . If i had to bet in vegas, i would bet that at least a piece of that information is true. I cant believe they would be out on the airwaves saying weve resolved a piece of this and have to say Tomorrow Morning that theyre wrong. I will tell you, though, theres a risk to this. Obviously from the criminal Investigation Side its great to wrap up the crew. What i would be worried about, chris, in a country thats had a lot of instability, instantly that crew, by tomorrow, lets say, will it be identified with a rival family, a rival gang, a rival political group . And people on the streets will say we want revenge. Its great to start to wrap this up as long as it doesnt blow out into revenge, chris. Moise, the president , was not that popular. He was also seen as authoritarian. Hes gone now, but he would say, no, i just want us to have our independence. What was the likely kind of list of who would have come after him . Let me put two things together. One, obviously, its a political list of people who would say hes overstayed his constitutional right to be there. A lot of people including the united States dont support that view. But oppositionists in haiti do. Thats a simple political explanation, chris. But let me overlay a piece. People who make money off being in power, some of those people were sidelined by moise. I could easily see a scenario where people who were losing money, because they were sidelined politically, said this guy needs to go. Add politics and money and you have a nasty situation. Whats the chance it gets nastier . Boy, if you look at the history of haiti, not a lot of history of assassination, but history of instability. You add to that that the Security Forces have lost control in the past. The country still hasnt recovered from an earthquake. If you want to say three, four days from now, a week from now, the situation will be better than it is today, i would never bet on that scenario. And get ready to travel. Phil mudd, thank you very much. New developments in the Britney Spears saga. Her mom has now stepped into the fray. What side is she on . Lynn spears made a request to the court today, next.

Your Heart Isnt just yours. Protect it with bayer aspirin. Be sure to talk to your doctor before you begin an aspirin regimen. Britney spears has a new petitioner on her behalf. Its her mother, Lynn Spears. In a newly obtained Court Filing from july 1, a week after Britney Spears pleaded with a judge to end her 13year conservatorship, her mother submitted this petition. Now and for the past many years, conservetee, that would be britney, has been able to care for her person and has within the parameters of her conservatorship, earned literally hundreds of millions of dollars as an international celebrity. The petition however did not ask for the conservatorship to end, only that britney be allowed to choose her own attorney. Interesting. What weight does the petition have . What does it tell us . Britney spears former Attorney Adam Streisand joins us now. Just the specific request. Put up the graphic. Petitioner believes that a guardian add Lil Litem is the O Way to protect her interests. A guardian al litem, as Counselor Streisand well knows, is a specific Purpose Guardian pointed by a judge specifically to help in a Situation And Someone cannot help themself. A ward, usually an infant. Again, not really the fit for a situation that by Lynn Spears own reckoning, she can take care of herself. This doesnt make sense either. Chris, thanks for having me. I agree with you completely that it doesnt make sense, because a Guardian Ad Litem is simply another in a long list of people who are going to be appointed by the court. That is inconsistent with what we really want to see which is britney making her own free choice. And so how can we trust another person appointed by the court is the right person to help her make that choice . The real problem is that good choices are the product of good information. And britney has been cloistered from the outside world. She doesnt have access to good information. I believe the conservators have abused their authority in preventing her from being able to have access to the outside world. And how is she supposed to make that decision for herself and to make an intelligent choice . I know shes capable of making an intelligent choice. He was capable of making that choice back in 2008. In the worst of times, we were able to agree on a strategy. Look, we both know, all she has to do is the problem is is shes not allowed to make choices. She could just call up caa and get the agency to go and find a lawyer to do this, it would be fine. It would just be rejected because right now shes not allowed to make the choice. The missing piece here is, why isnt the judge saying what seems to be common sense, which is, so i have this report from one doctor who is a Big Shot who says that at this time, which is not now, she was not basically compos mentis, she wasnt able to run her own affairs. Obviously things have changed, i want new assessments. Why isnt that key . One problem is nobody has asked for that, nobody has filed a petition to terminate the conservato conservatorship. No one has asked for an evaluation. Britney herself said she doesnt want to be evaluated. I take that with a grain of salt because i think the problem is britney hasnt had any space of Trust And Confidence with anyone around her. And i think if she had had the right representation, she would be able to have that trust, find the right person who would be able to evaluate her and bring evidence forward to the court that this conservatorship needs to end. But the fiduciary duty of the judge, they could do it on their own accord. It doesnt have to be a petition. They could do it themselves. That is their best Interest Analysis they are in charge of, they could do it as well. Councilor streisand, as always, thank you for helping us understand this moment. Well stay on it. A pleasure.

The freedom to go where you want, knowing your doctor can watch over your heart. Well, its official. Our fastest woman will not be in the olympics. Not because shes not as fast as shes supposed to be. She lost her chance to run the 100 meter for failing a Weed Test Ltest last week. U. S. Track officials decided against it. In a statement, us Track And Field stands by richardson and calls for the rules to be reevaluated. Our credibility as the national Governing Body would be lost if rules were only enforced under certain circumstances. Rules are rules. But not all rules are equal. And rules can be changed. And they can be understood differently. Separate but equal was a rule, right . And then it was changed and it was seen as being wrong long before it changed. So lets get some perspective from a really minted olympic champion, okay . Threetime Gold Medal winning dominique daws. First thank you. Thank you for the thrills, the chills and no spills and given my little daughter dreams of becoming a gymnast that she is still pursuing today because of you. Thank you for that gift you gave us as americans. Lets talk about the policy at hand. What do you make of the decision . I really do Respect Richardson for coming out and admitting her fault and really saying that shes human, that she made a mistake. I think one thing to point out is the decency of reporting today. That reporter was aware that she knew about the death of her mother. When i read about it and heard more about this story, thats just heartbreaking to think that someone would have asked her that. Im not saying its okay how she responded to it with regards to breaking some rules, but i think Thats Something that is overlooked with regards to decency in reporting today. These athletes are human. And you got to recognize that they are going to be affected greatly by the questions that you ask. And it really brings light to mental issues and not just something that someone is possibly born with, but when theyre going through a strategy in their life in how they respond to it, and Thats Something that we should address. The rebuttal is rules are rules. But isnt it what were you worried about, that somebody would be taking something that would make them for flexible, stronger, able to train harder, able to recover faster. You know, that would make it unfair. This is weed. It doesnt do any of those things. It is not a performance enhancing drug. Thats not me talking. Its a 2018 paper coauthored by a medical director that found no evidence that marijuana is a performance enhancer. Chris, like you said, rules are rules. We are very particular and we are rule followers in most cases. And my last olympic games there were rules out with regards that an age that athletes had to be. However, chinese gymnasts were underage. That truly affected myself and my teammates from getting on the podium and getting a Bronze Medal during the olympic games. Also, the romanian won the allaround at the 2000 olympics. There was found to be substance in her system as well and then she was disqualified and lost out on that olympic Gold Medal in the allaround. So for me, i do think, you know, because it is a current rule, they need to follow the rule and unfortunately that does mean that richardson will not be competing in these olympic games. Should it change . I dont know. Im not one to make that decision. You know, i think the biggest thing is thinking about the decency of that reporter. Thats what came to mind when i read this article. Did you know that that young girl was aware, was not aware of the death of her mother. You have to be considerate of someone elses emotional State And Decency for them.
