To get to the bottom of this thing, its got so much in it, and its all written down, there is no plausible deniability. If you vote for somebody whos supporting project 2045, you need to know what youre getting into. Im grateful for that. Discussion. We need to make it into a very thick pocketsized edition so you can fly around the country with it. Have a good show, allie. You have a great weekend. I promise you i am okay. Thats what Joe Biden told supporters, doing what he promised last night, making the case directly to voters. For the longest time i was too young because i was the second youngest man ever elected to the united states senate, and, anyway, and now im too old, but i know, hopefully, with a little bit ofw age comes a little bit of wisdom.

All right. So tonight, we begin with that assault on american democracy. Its both a physical assault but its also a legislative one thats playing out behind the scenes. Today, around 400 protestors rallied in washington, d. C. In support of the January 6th insurrectionists who engaged in that physical assault on the capitol. Now, it was less than the 700 or so expected by the department of homeland security. But the danger is not the protest, itself.

On monday, the democrats plan to pay for the 3. 5 trillion Infrastructure Bill that came into focus. The House Ways And Means Committee announced Tax Hikes that would amount to nearly 2. 1 Trillion in increased revenues. But left unscathed, the vast fortunes of the megarich, like Mark Zuckerberg and elon musk. Perhaps thats why Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasiocortez struck such a chord with the Fashion Statement heard round the world at one of the most opulent events of the year. And to aocs credit, just a few days later, President Biden seemed to echo her sentiments. People with tens of millions of dollars. They play by a different set of rules.
