Producers' Pick | Carley Shimkus

Radio makes you say is the Brian kill me show in 2006. In this very town of Washington DC Street at the United States capital in the United States Senate, 98 of the 100 members of the United States Senate voted in favor of an extension, the voting rights act. It was, not a partisan issue. It was an American issue numbers was how are you going to get what well when we have the discussion about who is responsible. I will not absolve the 50 Republicans in the United States and from responsibility for upholding one of the most basic and important tenets of our democracy which is free and fair elections, and access to the ballot for all eligible yet we want.

Of course, Republicans written on the premise of unfree and unfair elections. So there. That's where the rubber hits the road with your dollars go Shimkus will play more of that interview, which I'm not her the whole thing. The Xers of been just horrific. The vice president just struggles with every question and sleaziness because everyone know she's smart, you go to law school you become Atty. Gen. she knows her stuff but she actually. I mean smart but doesn't know her stuff because this is just roll up your sleeves learned understand it, pick up the phone question the experts on it: that the analogy she made is totally off base. I don't think that is laziness for her though.

I think it's just a complete lack of confidence she got hit with sell many critiques reasonable critiques I think she goes into every single interview second guess herself and screws it up again when it comes to this voting law stuff. First of all present Biden to be embarrassed by this speech and the person who wrote the speech on Tuesday. He gave it that that person should be fired on calling what Republicans are trying to do in terms of not federalize election laws as a racist is ridiculous right was a very real thing in our country for a very long time. Condoleezza Rice talks about all the time how she grew up in segregated Birmingham Alabama couldn't go to a restaurant or a movie theater with her parents. Fast forward to today.

Compare that to what Pres. Biden and vice president, Harris was just talking about that what Georgia voting law that allows early voting. You can't have somebody give you food in line, but you can bring your own snack that's racism and you get from coworkers.

You just can't get it from outside groups.

Yeah, exactly. So I mean I think that this was that the Biden administration.this was gonna be a great week for him that this speech was gonna be his white night moment and it was going to go down in history and really has been a really embarrassing timeframe. I think that outside of the Afghanistan debacle. This has been the worst week for him. There's no question was self-inflicted to he went there right after the Georgia Bulldogs when the national gem should be goes to Georgia at which time he does he get Stacy Abrams and other civil rights groups even show up and represent and what I think the only person to praise him initially was Al Sharpton thought to myself, is that it was going for is he is he going to see feel as though in the polls reveal that the Democrats are losing the black male vote is that it was going for. But to do that you not talk about. You don't use that water fountain get to the back of the bus. Not a lot of that lunch counter you not allowed to vote. You will be threatened to poll taxes, all part of our past.

That's true in this is to your initial point when you say it's Jim Crow 2.0 and knowing that we are so far from that that is in our ancient past, almost everyone around then is done and buried. Yeah, to think that were going to cheapen the hell they want through by saying that we have made progress. Now to me. I found offensive and not based in reality right now and that's why, Harris can't answer the question that she was asked how you get it done at the reason is because if she was if there was really a racial issue in this, of course, Republicans would be on board, but they're looking at the reality of the situation as they were talking about federalize an election laws that completely destroys the Federalist system that we live in where states have rights they can make their own election laws. If people couldn't vote in this country easily be marching in the streets. Have you seen anybody doing that everybody can vote very easily and what happened is you ready in the pandemic rules that were loosened up because you're in the middle of an emergency, once-in-a-lifetime with three lifetimes situation. But here's the deal. You can vote early. You can vote absentee but you have to ask for the ballot and by the way, I was drained up of the Secretary of State yesterday. Reference Berger who joined us and he was one of people I ask are you offended, he says, I don't get offended, especially after the last time I don't get offended. Having said that, he said no no I and we never just mailed out belched everyone always had to be requested, but we did for his signature match.

Now they going to say right the last four digits of your social security number or write your license number and the numbers that say to bring voter ID is okay is is between 70 and 85% nationwide now talking about such minute things to write your document. Signature match versus destined that in voter ID laws that makes so much sense, so we are to vote in New York City and just say your name and somebody say okay go over there. I didn't have to prove who I was. Now you while you have at this calling the public asking for your backs court and they go to say no, I do vote I did you hear Mitch McConnell speech yesterday spot on and he mentioned that he said the president implied things like wildly popular voting ideas laws of why they are wildly popular as "totalitarian anything. Ironically, on the same day the Washington DC Democratic mayor told citizens to bring both a photo ID and Greek green card. Any time they leave their house to prove that they are vaccinated unbelievable right and he did talk about that I want to play that but also what I did is wrote down some of the things that Georgia is now requiring now here is the this is how outrageous what George is doing a wheels of the game plan for today, which I also put down couple things. And by the way on that speech yesterday among the people who agree with you, Sen. Dick Durbin number two center in the Senate on the Democratic side, said the present. Biden may have gone a little too far. He went on to say yes, the speech was stark. I will concede you that point, embarrassing right of course. It was embarrassing okay on absentee voting I mention on early voting. The legislation will will expand early voting for hours. In most cases, Monday through Friday 40 from 9 to 5. Now you can also if you decide that you want to extend those hours in your district. You can do that.

There also allowing one or two days of Sunday morning voting and Saturdays on both Saturdays they are allowing early voting drop boxes are now part of the law. But there's one per hundred thousand, on average, not one on every block because they want to make sure they could secure. What is the big deal about that. I do understand that a new rule that affects both in person early voting in election day voting will prohibit anyone except poll workers from handing out water to voters online and outlaw the passing of food and water to voters within hundred and 50 feet. That's just normal. You want someone to go if you vote for Democrat. Here's a pizza stupid.

They're doing this for two reasons. One is that obviously they wanted positive news coverage might by enlightened and what is the median 95% Democrat. So when ever Democrats usually talk about voting rights date gets a lot of positive attention. I think the media is doing a disservice by calling voting rights. How many times have you write an article where you hear Stacy Abrams being called a champion of voting rights are. She is voting.

Voting rights activist everybody is a voting rights activist. It's not just her. It's not a Democrat issue. There is no like were saying that everybody can vote in this country, so they're doing it for increases poll numbers which are very bad. The other reason I think is because they know that the midterm elections are to go really really poorly for them to sell because their energies are better and I blame it on states, not federalize an election laws and we were astounded at the 33% approval rating, 39% approval handling the pandemic. When he got elected was 70. Then it dropped to 58 that is dropped to 50, but it's all earn yeah exposer always really bad for Pres. Biden. I know I don't know if the outlier Paul or write maybe five point by the land went to a sound not criticizing my alma mater to but I enjoy it I not climbed it many times by yeah his phone numbers are terrible. 33%, according to Quinnipiac, 39% on on-call vent, like you said you knew that that number was in a go down but I really think that the most interesting clinic.

The Apple number that came out was how well he's doing with Democrats 75%. So the difference between Pres. Biden and Pres. Trump because transport numbers were bad tale is that he was at about 90% Republican support Democrats are starting to go sour. Pres. Biden is ripened and so vice present heresies to step up.

If she does want to be replaced by Hillary Clinton.

Let me ask if this is smooth.

For example, is pretty clear when she met was honest and said we did not anticipate the Delta variant in this new variant in the present cut indicated by mistake. He said that that's was a go to these press conferences, then she's asked about tests like why don't you have more tests. Listen to this 500 million tests in order that it would be something over everywhere we know when those are going out shortly to go out in order name and ardently I have to look at the current information in something by next week, but soon absolutely soon and it is a matter of urgency for should we have done that so we are doing. We are doing yeah I mean what else she has say it was a total fail. Yes, of course, they should have done it sooner.

I do think that there is a over testing situation in this country and I don't think that everybody who walks into not as out things should go tested price and has not tested yet.

Chill with the testing people because you're testing people there asymptomatic their totally fine. I thank God this is becoming more like a flu or your to be completely symptomatic. Michelle Wilensky just posted something on Twitter if I can bring out how much I had a right on my phone right now. She posted this today. Eric know yesterday. She said new study on severity of those infected with the omicron Darian compared to Delta variant.

She says 43% less risk of symptomatic hospitalization. 74% less risk of ICU admission and 91% less risk of death zero omicron patients require medical ventilation 08 hello this is this is the evidence for another finally catching up to reality when it comes very very good thing is happening right now is also seven the prison United States is saying it again.

He speaking will pull it surely that this is a pandemic of the unvaccinated frustrated by the high numbers of the hospitalizations using only breakthrough cases there are busy know that the CEO of fall of the dirt just came out and said my vaccine is what offers very little protection against the omicron variant. He also said the booster very limited benefit, but left to get to none, but McCarty thinks it's Macario thinks it's done to so he is actually sitting there. His staff let them go out there and say this is a pandemic of the unvaccinated again and believe that a gallant happening. It's happening once again playing the blame game. There was an article that was recently written by it was in the eye, but what publication is and what their New Yorker maybe and died. The colonists were saying that people should criticize actually point and laugh and criticize people who die of color who are unvaccinated. That's the opinion of the all loving left in this country right now. It's incredible bye-bye Louis Curley I keep saying this really seems are the easiest thing is that if I walk out there is a president and even arms are a lot brighter than this guy. And now we all got to school the last two years I would not be out there without my epidemiologist without my medical team without my expeditious team to the Mike pence. Of this, the bad mojo roar of this ministration, I would have them with me because I don't know every detail in the millions goes up. I don't know what the problem is and heal something else. It humanizes you because we all have people in our family we have to do, so they don't is safe and after a while when you step with this wound with a he or she steps up and they have no answers. You go you have to replace this guy cites yeah because sites is not being able to expedite any of this stuff he's not doing anything was posted. We did not preorder this with the epidemiologist Dr. Fauci.

All these experts to CDC, the FDA did not anticipate this variant. Therefore, the tests weren't ordered. So if you can stop it.

Elyse prepared to test for maybe and then the whole thing on mask so excuse me on the mass mailing of today. One of the questions would be Sen. Bernie Sanders. He says I want to mail three and 95 mass to every family. So if I'm president, you know what I would say I am not sure that that is practical, but I want you to be my HHS Sec. is that practical will be the benefit of that. So I'm a leader, but I'm not an expert widely stick about there by himself.

The least equipped person is taking questions right now is he he's probably just giving a speech he diffuse his so he's reading this and it did he say it's is a pandemic of the unvaccinated yet he's upset about the hospitalization is rising and it says mostly unvaccinated the hospitalizations that we know is that a lot of people are going into the hospital for something else and in the testing positive for Cove and a symptomatically and then that's counted at the hospitalization and that it's just that completely. That's not the right picture of where we are in this country. And what about the story over the weekend on the comorbidities. We have a number of 835,000 dead, with its half. I now live. It's 1/3 and if you see this and will go to break with this. We have so much to talk about. It's been too long. We watch the total clampdown of 15 million people in China absolutely part of it we watch a population of the Netherlands. 85% vaccinated don't have in common. Their surgeon cases are surging. Hospitalizations are surging. There are there are deaths not surging, but adding and you know in this country with omicron Dr. carriages said zero people on ventilators.

This is ugly and were finally learning that the reality the situation brush I will and he said that 75% of people who died with Cove. It had four right comorbidities are in the study. Eric looked it up I pay him extra every time you took the study through those looking to do this over thousand people, 36, had at 75% had for comorbidities, but those who these are the types of studies that we blow up and make policy on I'm going to pull back when Joe binds meandering through right now and will go to analyze as we come back. Crowe Shimkus booked for the whole hour double kill me breaking loose unique opinions. All of them are Brian kill me and show grocery store shelves are empty if you want a new car, you have to wait six months if you want to sell your used car you can get a lot of money for that. But then what you drive because there's nothing else allotments available right now we are staying across the board and people are tired of Democrats and Republicans are tired of throw you off but cantaloupe is the most overrated fruit. Nobody says give me more cantaloupe when you get from Carl the least attractive thing in inning melody is the cantaloupe it's real melody telling you not going to like I need nobody is ingenuity.

What you say your wife loves melon more than anything else, cantaloupe Brian, you need to perform. It's really sweet.

You just cannot 7-Eleven the cantaloupe resort in the springtime, covering one still overrated shop and some good doctors are go. Shimkus is here in my right, Carly. You have a cantaloupe debate but your appetite 100 capsules. I know you thought about this for gently from this conversation.

Have you ever gotten back to lunch before anything a sandwich. And there is a fruit company I have. I actually have cantaloupe guilt because I never want the fruit cup because it's all cantaloupe.

I hate it and am I blessed the only healthy thing I have to eat. It's late at first I don't like. I do not like cantaloupe either.

I think it's like the last of a fruit salad. It is just a it must be the cheapest thing that they have at the dates the most and it's so boring what you know is is interesting because Gavin had the vice president mornings drill down there. Further, he says the lack of consistency one time. You have melded soft next time it's juicy the next time it's not. Sometimes it's yellow, it is their duty, cantaloupe and melon it so subtle to leave it out today.

I remember it's cantaloupe. I don't eat this case and like this will open your Fox News contrasts network subscriber and listen to the tradeshow report to federal prosecutor and four term US Congressman from South Carolina brings you a one-of-a-kind poncho subscriber list now but just.com
