and i think that s going to rile a lot of republican voters right hassan at least in this case, has the right wing of the house gop been out fox by johnson there in a really tough spot, partly because they do not want to blow up yet another speaker. you now have a presumptive republican presidential nominee who does not want the house republicans to continue to embarrass him as he s looking to win another presidential term. so i think that they really are in a really difficult position because they didn t have a clear strategy. when you re looking at these rebels, what exactly is it that they want? what is their discrete realistic ask that they can actually get in a real negotiate? fusion. it s just not clear they want and that s why they can t move the ball forward. they want to blow it up. i mean, i m the only person who listens to the war room by steve bannon, but she said that on it. she said, i don t give marjorie taylor greene said we could do this all day. we could replace the
doorknobs falling off and stuff like that way they haven t kept up with a quality that you expect for these expensive cars. cybertruck was a distraction and then the brand itself with elon spending all his time over at twitter. it s a real problem for the brand and the peach whatever. you wants a lot of money, burn block. yeah okay. jonah, tesla is one of the worst performers in the s&p 500 this year it they say it s in the same territory as bowen, which i think we know is not good territory. is this a tesla problem is it an ev problem? what s going on? yeah, i think it s both. i mean, i agree with everything in the car. i said there s also just been like there s a glut coming from china and also there s been an enormous amount of press about the infrastructure, electrical infrastructure, not being available to do long trips and so you just have bad odor coming on it and then you have
it s what s the other one takes news fakes, news, and stuff like that. i think those are great. well, when you re talking about slope, sleepy joe and suddenly can t use that anymore. fortunately for him. but one of the things that i do like is the idea of all these people, the jurors as they re coming forward, say putting up all the social media stuff about him and he s got to listen to it because mostly he doesn t get that incoming of negative and he gets positivity constantly, people constantly licking him up and down and all of a sudden he s seeing what i want to pick up on that because i was talking to norm eisen, who is a distinguished lawyer, knows he actually written a book about all of those. he was in court and he said there was one moment this week where the judge reprimanded trump. he doesn t get a lot of reprimands now. and any sad now, norm eisen is not a fan of trump that he kind of sunk back in his chair in his chin, went down and he looked like a beaten six-year-old.
johnson says, he will press on i m not deterred by red do the right thing, but there s a lot to break down here, but let s start with johnson s strategy. jonah, ten, johnson continue as he has are at least right now to run the house with the aid. the total dependence on democrats no. i think this is a well it s not a one-off. it s a four off because they re four bills. but democrats don t want to normally support johnson on anything. republicans than anything that would, that would be abnormal. and if he tries to continue to leverage democratic support beyond this specific thing that s happening basically today. i think that would spell his demise. lulu in a hyperpartisan washington and particularly in a highly polarized house, how sustainable is this for johnson? i mean, he would not have gotten the rule and if he
