information last week. This is moving forward
and I ve been following some of the key players for quite some time- move a telex, we're gonna get this done.
While Miss Connell was sending signals that it wasn't going to get died and
You, like it Joe Mansion, Mitt, Romney, Susan Collins, even Lindsey Grim and their Jean Shane others

they're going to do it in the last couple of weeks. Prove that debt net it did it
that there is a centre of the Senate that still works, like you just indicated, and what this centre was able to do better than anything we create a menu from which the leadership was able to eventually choose, and I think that is an important thing here. They showed that there is support for a variety of proposals that then Mitch Mcconnell Navy Blowsy got into a room in narrowed down, so I actually think I mean decided
Very late, and not including everything that that anyway
once this is a good sign that shows that there is some functionality left in the end
The two should in the post, trump error, and I think in the New York Times, wrote this on its front page today. It does show
for the first time that there is a road map for Joe Biden, which is to create some heat in some action in the center. Among the people you just mentioned Joe imagine, change
game some of the moderates and and function
members of both parties, parties, creed
some sort of action from which the leadership could then build upon them.

doesn't love these gangs because, as we have
just seen, they can get themselves a whole load of power by
being, as you say, solution oriented people looking
things down and they can act in a bipartisan white? We thought by positive. It was totally out of the window in this congress we ve just had our first demonstration of it it'll be interesting to see two things, if
Democrats were to win in Georgia and have the slimmest of majorities? Do we still see some of those Republicans coming over in that situation
and once Joe Biden is president, do we still see as many those Republicans again coming over on working with them?
Where does that? Does that caucus managed to hope
because either way whether Democrats take children. All that can have this tiny majority that caucus, if it holds, could have a huge amount of power,
Joe Biden goes into a legislative session that is gonna, have massive hurdles, a need to do big,
substantial legislation of the kind of infrastructure and second stimulus abilities already talking about there's no way
that done without this centrist group,
from the other side as well. Well
even with Georgia, for some reason its highly unlikely, I still believe its highly unlikely, even if
of those Senate seats in the special election go democratic, you're sitting at fifty fifty,
then you have what was described as Chuck tumors worst case scenario a month before

there's, a guy you at the end several times over. The vast several months is actually

I mean that's a big deal that the seven hundred club and Pat Robinson still has big sway over a large flock of people who watch watch a show. So that was a a big

This has gone too far, even though that doing it in somewhat milder language. I think, as you said at the beginning, Willie we're gonna have to get used to a certain level of hypocrisy over the next few
months and years from Republicans, who have been stolen. Defenders of the president
Bill BAR and Pat Robertson have been, and
coming out and saying. Actually this is not ok or whether, as on deficits, whether its on vaccinations, I mean you know, people who had been backs pandemic sceptics now suddenly wanting to jump to the front of the queue to get their vaccinations. I think,
a lot of that in the challenge. I guess, but Joe Biden is how much does
cool that out. How does he use that? Potentially? What does he do about? All of those
applicants who had been so lockstep with president are now prepared to come out and be less so. The only thing I would say is that, as we get
as the president becomes more exclusively focused on
something that nearly everybody, the Republican Party thinks, is why
goose chase and is out in the fringe here.
surrounded by people who are more extreme. So he's got this very small group of Republicans who are prepared to follow him down. People at Mo Brooks Sidney Power there in the White House with him, and they really are the fringe of the Trump supporters in
Washington and that kind of leaves the other people like Bill by Pat Robertson, with a choice to make do
join them who are way out there or, do I say,
What I have to say what is obvious now it seems that Pat Robertson has come around to that.
Now, let me just say I'm good with that: bad conversions when
