tv   The Faulkner Focus  FOX News  November 8, 2021 8:00am-9:01am PST

8:00 am
look at this. the world's largest potato. it was grown during lockdown and also very ugly. our friend used to say look at the size of that jasper. but that potato is not as cute as jasper was. it's an ugly potato. >> harris: we'll begin with this. the timing is horrible for president biden. we knew his approval numbers were low but now it's poll after poll with democrats and independent ringing alarm bells recoiling from president biden and you know what day it is, right? one year exactly from this day the mid-term elections and they will battle for control of the house and senate. i'm harris "the faulkner focus" and you are in "the faulkner
8:01 am
focus". usa today joins the growing crop of fresh trouble for biden. this was a big poll. 1,000 voters. only 38% said they approve of the job president biden is doing. in other words, you know, north of 59, almost 60% say he is failing and if that wasn't enough to strike fear in the hearts of democrats, look at this. 44% of independents say the president has done worse than they had expected. 2022 mid-term elections just a year away. critics say democrats are headed for a disaster. >> that is 21 points underwater. he has dropped more than in his first year than any other president since world war ii in terms of polling. >> there are so many things going wrong, failing to control the border, announcing last week he is willing to pay hundreds of thousands of dollars to illegal immigrants, which most americans think is
8:02 am
insane. to taking 85 cars to a global summit on climate where he then promptly falls asleep in public. >> half the country says he has done a worse job. many of the other half are saying i expected him to be this bad. not like the other half thinks he is doing a good job. he is in real danger politically. >> harris: he will need political ban dates. alexandria hoff live in washington, d.c. >> democrats have to rectify their messaging. when those surveyed asked who they would vote for if the mid-term elections said today 46% they would support a republican sxaird to 38% supporting a democrat. in the latest usa today poll biden's approval rating dropped to a new low to 38%. included in that 46% registered voters saying he has done a worse job than they expected. the survey was conducted prior
8:03 am
to the passing of the bipartisan infrastructure bill friday. a steep hill to climb. here is senior advisor to the president cedric richmond appearing on "fox news sunday". >> the president has an ambitious plan for the american people, for the american economy and he will invest in them. >> fdr had a high approval rating and was elected president four times. this poll revealed that 2/3 of americans do not want biden to run for a second term. so what about his vice president? she is worse. the current approval rating of 28%. the most concrete test of the administration's popularity came last week when voters surviceed democrats by nearly unseating the new jersey democratic governor and electing youngkin over mccauliffe in virginia. >> i think congressional
8:04 am
democrats blew the timing. we should have passed the bills in early october. if we had it would have helped terry mccauliffe. >> will biden's build back better plan help his own cause? according to the poll just 1 in 4 people think the contents of the massive spending bill will help their family. harris. >> harris: wow. that means they didn't sell it. you know some of those who took the surveys were independents and democrats. oh boy. good to see you today. thanks. the president's top defenders are out working hard blaming everybody and everything except for his own policies. >> it's been a rough and tough year. we knew it would be. we inherited a country where 4,000 people a day were dying from covid. >> country is in a bad place. we have a pandemic now we're trying to bring the economy back and you have all of these other things happening. so the country is in a bad place. it is a tough time to turn president of the united states.
8:05 am
>> harris: wow, really? a piece from the hill with this quote. today's election results prompted some soul searching among democrats whether the party misread the desire for sweeping changes. republicans are glad to say they misread the mandate from biden's victory a year ago. pete hegseth is co-host of "fox & friends" weekend. good to see you. there is so much meat on the bone here for what democrats and the white house and the administration didn't see. let's start there. >> yeah. what they thought they saw was a mandate. here we are a year later and they are still blaming donald trump. that is not leadership. that's making excuses. it's creating a straw man even though you have all the levers of power. covid, they'll never
8:06 am
acknowledge the vaccines they rely completely on are ones delivered by operation warp speed and they dismissed as potentially dangerous before they became president and vice president. they will never acknowledge that. they will never acknowledge china's role and take them on for it when donald trump was willing to do that from the beginning. the first time we've talked since the elections last week and you look at the priorities of democrats versus the realities of americans, that's what happened in virginia and new jersey and minneapolis. in virginia it was education and classrooms. in new jersey it was overwhelming draconian covid mask mandates and vaccine mandates. in minneapolis where they voted against defunding the police it was all about simple public safety even though minneapolis is a 70/30 democrat to republican city. so while joe biden is falling asleep in europe at weather conferences and pushing for electric cars, people are having to figure out do i have to wear a mask or not to put it
8:07 am
on my kid? do i have to get the vaccine or not? what are kids being taught in the classroom and the board. is crime going up in my neighborhood? everything is costing more for me in inflation and they can't explain the supply chain crisis. so these are things that hit voters where they're at. joe biden has delivered on none of them. >> harris: quickly james clyburn top three in power in the house, right? his office is right next to nancy pelosi's. i've been in there. and he says that bad time to become president. they broke a bunch of stuff in this country like inflation, yet it is a bad time for biden to be president. imagine how it is as an american who has to go to the store or the gas station. imagine how it is for them. >> there is no joe biden without james clyburn. he had the pivotal race in south carolina.
8:08 am
no doubt about it. they are killing energy pipelines and we have record reliance upon opec and record prices. now want to kill another pipeline. look what they did to the border. paying money to not build the wall. amazing. they created this. >> harris: i want to pause right there. hardly anybody is talking about the details of this but i want to. president biden's energy secretary says americans had better brace for this winter's bills. >> to the americans will likely be a cold winter. most of them are. expect to pay higher prices for heating their homes. >> this is going to happen. it will be more expensive this year than last year. we have the same problem in fuels that the supply chains have which is the oil and gas companies are not flipping the switch as quickly as the demand requires. >> harris: more expensive than the year when most of us were locked inside our homes? wow.
8:09 am
a report from the energy information administration finds we'll all pay more for everything, propane, natural gas, price at the pump. the average cost of gasoline a gallon is close to $5 in many parts of the country. after taking heat for canceling the keystone pipeline let's get back to what pete hegseth was talking about. i asked my team for a map. i want everybody to focus. the president is going do this again and looking at shutting down another energy pipeline. the line 5 in michigan. in a letter to the president, 13 lawmakers wrote should this pipeline be shut down? tens of thousands of jobs would be lost across the region as we enter the winter months. the termination of line 5 will further exacerbate shortages, price increases and home heating fuels like natural gas, propane at a time when americans are already facing rapidly rising energy prices. say it with me. line 5 michigan. let's get to know it.
8:10 am
pete. >> just like we got to know the keystone xl pipeline. rather than work on energy with canada who is a reliable trading partner to get our energy sources and then preventing our own companies from exploration, whether it's fracking, natural gas, all of that. we're begging opec -- begging opec, a cartel, to increase its supply so that our prices can go down when just a year ago as you laid out, harris, we were effectively energy independent helping to drive down global energy prices because of the supply we could add and the demand we could meet. this is democrats all they are doing is vowing to extremist environmental groups saying a pipeline like this is unsafe to the environment when i just have a feeling based on the working folks working on that pipeline they will make sure
8:11 am
that pipeline works and is not -- does not leak, does not create environmental concerns and we all pay the price. 54% in energy price increases you and i can probably handle that. a lot of other people on this channel and in the media, that's fine maybe. think about an average family in the upper midwest going through a cold winter and looking at 30, 40, 50% increase in heating and energy prices. that is a regressive tax against the least among us. the democrats say they won't raise taxes on low wage earners. that's exactly what this is. >> harris: i was digging deeper. i will do it all week long now. enbridge. this isn't the right thing to do to do something like this and not tell the american people the truth about it. down chain supply chain petroleum products, it is more than just the people in the
8:12 am
upper midwest. we'll learn. >> by the way, harris, the energy secretary laughed openly when asked if she had a plan to address our energy needs. she laughed and said what do you want me to do wave a magic wand? when barack obama said what do you want me to do wave a magic wand to bring back manufacturing jobs? donald trump focused on that and tried to make it happen. they're doing the opposite. >> harris: secretary granholm we would like to see the magic wand. "saturday night live" faced feedback. >> suicide by cop was elected -- was elected as virginia's first black female lieutenant governor. this is actually a win for democrats. nothing will get republicans to support gun control faster than this picture. >> harris: posted the photo in
8:13 am
response to criticism from hill. after they upset democrats in virginia last week hill tweeted it's not the messaging, folks. the country loves white supremacy. team winsome responded with the photo we beg to differ. >> all the white supremacists who voted for a black lieutenant female governor. the laughter in this club. me as a supporter of the second amount cares whether it's a black or white woman. they are the ones being racist about it. we a grateful for the service of someone like ms. sears and speak the truth. now they say she is speaking white words from a black mouth. they are the racists in the equation.
8:14 am
i'm not looking at her race but what she will do for virginia as a conservative. >> harris: that's so true. pete hegseth. good to have you in "focus." programming note now on the fox nation app. the patriot awards are coming up next week wednesday, november 17th at the hard rock live theater in hollywood, florida. pete hegseth will be there along with other fox personalities. get your ticket at fox nation.com/patriot awards. we'll get to this. mounting crises and those plummeting poll numbers are raising alarms for the future of the biden presidency even now only 11 months in. and for democrats exactly one year from now this day, november 8, 2022. voters will head to the polls
8:15 am
in key races and today our voters are in "focus." plus this. >> why are we rewarding people who came into the country illegally? another incentive. they're all wrong in the scenario we see right now. >> harris: the president's big flip-flop when it comes to possibly paying illegal immigrants. texas congressman chip roy in "focus" next. as someone who resembles someone else, i appreciate that liberty mutual knows everyone's unique. that's why they customize your car insurance, so you only pay for what you need. oh, yeah. that's the spot. only pay for what you need. ♪ liberty, liberty, liberty, liberty ♪ ♪ say it's all right ♪

8:20 am
>> harris: a federal court has dealt a blow to president biden's vaccine mandate for private workers. it issued a temporary stay after a texas lawsuit. the u.s. surgeon general says the administration will defend its mandates. >> the president and the
8:21 am
administration wouldn't have put the requirements in place if they didn't think they were appropriate and necessary and the administration is prepared to defend them. >> if osha can tell people to be careful around chemicals it can put in these measures to keep america safe. >> harris: texas is among 27 states suing the biden administration over the requirement. democratic governor laura kelly of kansas is now speaking out against the vaccine mandate. here is what she said. states have been leading the fight against covid-19 from the start of the pandemic. it is too late to impose a federal standard now that we have already developed systems and strategies that are tail ored for our specific needs end of her quote. republican congressman chip roy of texas is in "focus" now. congressman, first of all what do you think about a democrat weighing in from kansas? what do you think about her comments? >> it is pretty telling you have democrat state leaders who
8:22 am
recognize the unconstitutional and unlawful nature of what president biden is trying to do by forcing small businesses, businesses across the country to have to vaccinate their employees. it is completely unconscionable and i'm proud of texas and the other 26 states and the texas foundation in texas. my friend the lawyer getting an administrative stay. very important and i'm glad we see the courts do what in the interest of the american people m standing up and defending the constitution of the united states. we'll see what happens when d.o.j. has to reply today. it is clearly unconstitutional. there is no power in the constitution for the president of the united states to just by edict say that employers have to vaccinate their employees across this country. now we have over 80% of adults who have had at least one shot and completely unnecessary and frankly it is actually encouraging people not to get vaccinated. it is a terrible policy and the
8:23 am
biden administration should be shut down in trying to do it. >> harris: when you give the statistics you can understand why the lawmaker in kansas said the timing is like -- why are you doing it now? way late into the process, 80% with one shot in their arm. let's get to this. government-funded, i want to make that clear, pbs government-funded is using big bird to push vaccines for children. big bird's account sweeted this out. i got the covid-19 vaccine today. my wing is feeling a little sore but it will give my body an extra protective boost that keeps me and others healthy. senator ted cruz responded this way. government propaganda for your 5-year-old. one users wrote the indoctrination is real. another joked what's the treatment for a myocarditis in birds? and now the president is getting in on the act tweeting good on you, big bird.
8:24 am
getting vaccinated is the best way to keep your whole neighborhood safe. congressman, your thoughts. >> you saw this morning in the "wall street journal" a story and you referenced myocard it is the studies underway the harms that might befall our children and those that might take the vaccine and have heart issues. it is incumbent upon the american people to take care of their families. now you have the government in its wisdom trying to do propaganda to encourage kids to do super heroes. pfizer ran a commercial calling kids super heroes for getting the vaccine. this is why i publicly said i will take no money from pfizer. i won't take any money from a company to engage in that kind of propaganda and i think republicans including the 13 who abandoned us on friday and left us hanging in the wind, weed in republicans to stand up and say we won't fund government with the continuing resolution if the mandates say in place. i call for my colleagues to
8:25 am
stand strong and not fund a government to do propaganda on our kids and put the unconstitutional mandates in place. >> harris: what part of the government actually got involved with a 6'7" fake yellow bird to do exactly what the fake bird did. that's a fair question. that's what we have all been telling each other. check with your doctor and see if it's the right thing for your child. >> there is no question. my father is 79, just turned 79, mom 72. they got the vaccine. that's great and up to them and their doctors. now you have the government going around trying to use propaganda to encourage people this way and have a mandate. it is an unamerican situation that an administration is trying to put that kind of power on the people. the american people are waking up to what bureaucrats are doing every day. undermining our freedoms and using pbs and the long arm of government and now i have a
8:26 am
constituent texting me before we started they forced out of nursing home and hospital care because medicare is bringing requirements people have to be vaccinated working in the nursing homes. we're losing care. border patrol agents bleeding out, half my leave. law enforcement not on the job in new york. firefighters missing. why? because of an unnecessary virtue signaling mandate from a president who barely knows where he is in the morning. >> harris: i want to go -- you have strong feelings about that and this because you are in a border state. president biden has flip-flopped now congressman roy about possible payments to illegal immigrants separated at the border under the trump administration. last week he dismissed the report they would pay up to $450,000 for illegal immigrants. just days later he had a completely different take on things. let's watch. >> there were reports that were surfacing that your administration is planning to
8:27 am
pay illegal immigrants who are separated from their families at the border up to $450,000 each. >> president biden: that's not true. >> it's a garbage report? >> president biden: if in fact because of the outrageous behavior with the last administration. you coming across the border legal or illegal and you lost your child, you lost your child. he is gone, you deserve some kind of compensation no matter what the circumstance. >> harris: what's going on here? >> well, i think the president came home and he is getting taken to the wood shed by the people actually running the white house. that's what is actually happening. the president calls it a garbage report. now he switches gears saying you need to have compensation for these families about the outrageous immigration policies was the exact quote on saturday involving the trump administration policies. who has outrageous immigration policies? this president and this
8:28 am
administration. we've had 280,000 individuals released into the united states. 120,000 children. another 400,000 gotaways. harris, that's about 800,000 people. meanwhile what do we have? an honduran immigrant posing as a 17-year-old go into the home of a person from florida who took in the person and killed that person. we should be compensating americans by actually enforcing the law so they aren't dying from fentanyl overdoses not having people go into their homes and kill them. little migrant girls aren't getting raped on the journey. that's what this administration owns and the blood is on his hands. he is causing unaccompanied children to be separated because of his incompetent policies. >> harris: maybe 2 1/2 million would have migranted across the border into this country by the end of the year. 800,000 people who are roaming freely. some have on bracelets trying
8:29 am
to get a court date. many don't. that's a huge amount of people let in. congressman roy, thank you very much for being in "focus." >> thank you, harris. >> harris: the woke folk are pounding on the doors on corporate america. a large financial firm now is asking permission to hire people but only certain people. they are looking for something. plus as crime surges in san francisco, a major paper suggests people there just tolerate it. really? jason rantz after the break. my time, vedn during the vietnam era, would be eligible today for a va home loan. so many do not know that. there's no expiration date on your eligibility for the va home loan. every veteran, every service member out there if you're thinking about buying a home
8:30 am
if you're thinking about a cash out refi whatever you're thinking with a mortgage, you should come to newday usa first. veteran homeowners. three reasons to do a cash out refi right now. home values are high while rates are low. newday lets you borrow all of your home's value. and you could take out $50,000 dollars or more.
8:31 am
at pnc bank, we believe in the power of taking steps forward. moving ahead. whatever the pace. and whatever the size. that's why we set out to help make it easier for everyone to move forward financially. with small business, personal banking, wealth, and corporate solutions that help you reach your goals and plan for the future... it's a girl! ...we're doing everything we can to help you get where you want to be. because sometimes a little help is all you need. see how we can make a difference for you at pnc bank. >> tech: when you get a chip in your windshield... trust safelite. this couple was headed to the farmers market... when they got a chip. they drove to safelite for a same-day repair. and with their insurance, it was no cost to them. >> woman: really? >> tech: that's service the way you need it. >> singers: ♪ safelite repair, safelite replace. ♪

8:34 am
what's strong with me? what's strong with me? what's strong with me? what's strong with me? with me! with me! what's strong with me? with me! with me. veteran homeowners. the newday two and a quarter refi is the lowest rate in their history. two and a quarter percent. just 2.48 apr. newday's holding the line on rates so veterans can save thousands. >> harris: look at this situation. boston seeing some violence this weekend after antifa protestors gathered to counter an anti-vaccine and anti-max
8:35 am
protest. police in riot gear responded breaking up the violence and arresting two people. and crime is surging in san francisco, california. the chronicle there is under fire for this tweet asking readers if people there should start to tolerate burglaries as part of city living. on twitter the reaction was harsh. one user treated how is the chronicle seriously asking this and part of everyday living? tolerate burglaries as a part of city living? actual words printed in an actual major newspaper. jason rantz, seattle radio talk show host and fox news contributor in "focus" now. welcome to the fox family. jason, first of all, why should people tolerate being burglarized which can be a gateway crime i could have a gun and keep you from moving while i steal your stuff. >> is that the pitch to live in big cities that you put up with
8:36 am
routine burglaries and violent crime that we are supposed the blame on covid? fascinating the amount of narrative being spun here. democratic policies are to blame. they keep offenders out of jail. get endless chances and if they don't stop their behavior we put money toward a problem for the root causes of the issue. rather than place the blame on these policies what do we get? media members, activists who pretend it is normal parts of the city. this is what happens when you move to big cities. but it is not. ask anyone who lived in san francisco or seattle or new york, minneapolis. any of these cities for the last decade and ask them if anything has changed? they will all tell you things have changed dramatically and there is a reason we're completely ignore. >> harris: one of the largest investments firms will need permission to hire white men.
8:37 am
this directive by state street global advisors part of the company's new diversity hiring initiatives. the head of inclusion of diversity said all our leaders have to key mon straight at their annual appraisals what they have done to improve female representation and when the number of colleagues from ethnic minority backgrounds. your take. >> first if state street global advisors handles your investments it's reason enough to move to a different firm. ultimately what this becomes is tokenizing people and people should reconsider applying here. you might get extra points if you are latino or female or gay or muslim or whatever. do you want the job because of that? presumably you get on this show -- you are doing it because you
8:38 am
presumably you believe i add something of value here. if we can't flatly say we are going to hire people who add value to our company and instead focus on an identity what these businesses are doing, they're defining you by an identity and not by a skill set and it is condescending. none of us should put up with that. >> harris: if their goal is to keep out white men there are other ways we are diverse. you are really driving it home. thank you for being in "focus." democrats devastating election results have some predicting a red wave in 2022. >> it was a rejection election. voters overwhelmingly across the country rejected these radical policies of the democrats. >> harris: so are americans happy with the direction of the biden presidency? well, look at the polls.
8:39 am
we are going to hear directly from people who vote and say what really matters most next in "focus." a panel of democrats and republicans on the mood of the country exactly one year to the day away from the 2022 mid-terms. voters' voices in "focus." . they customize my car insurance, so i only pay for what i need. how about a throwback? ♪ liberty, liberty, liberty, liberty ♪ only pay for what you need. ♪ liberty, liberty, liberty, liberty ♪

8:44 am
>> harris: kind of like looking forward to your birthday a year out making plans. let's dig into the mid-term elections deciding the balance of power in congress as well as state and local races across america. we showed you that usa today poll with president biden's approve all rating at 38% and the vice president 28%. that same poll found nearly half of democrats would vote their republican candidate for congress if the election were held today. msnbc's chuck todd with this warning. >> what happened to democrats on tuesday goes far beyond the defeat of terry mccauliffe in virginia or governor murphy's narrowest cape in new jersey. a warning to democrats their congress gretional majorities are in grave danger.
8:45 am
>> harris: voters voices. we haven't seen each other until election night. the former chair of the republican party. amanda a is a democratic voters from election night. great to see you. a democrat dr. natasha d. from the university of louisville. great to see everybody. natasha, you first. what is it that's missing for democrats right now? are the president's poll numbers so low that it will be almost impossible to bounce back before people make a decision coming up on who will run congress? >> thank you, harris. thank you so much for the opportunity to be here today first of all. but certainly there are definite concerns when it comes to the democratic party right now. last week's election results. i see them a little more optimistically. they were close but in addition to that we have approval
8:46 am
ratings that are low but been low since 2017. challenges here. when we look ahead to mid-terms in the coming year they often have a flip, a switch in terms of party. so for democrats to be successful, we cannot continue to do the same things and expect things to be different and we need radical change. so for me what's most important going forward is protecting our health. our health is our greatest asset and what can be more important than our health? i want to see bold, strong action to support bold and strong public health so that we can round the corner on this pandemic and our nation can be healthy and successful. >> harris: i want to hear also from the other perspective in all of this and, you know, one of the things that people look at, john, is just how they feel in general about how the economy is going, inflation is raging right now. what is your take?
8:47 am
>> you know, the kindest way to put it is things are a bit of a disaster. you mentioned inflation, gas prices are through the roof. these are issues that affect real people. we all have to fill our cars with gas to go to work and it costs more. and the frustrating part is the administration doesn't seem to care that real americans are hurting and they just keep doubling down on the same talking points, not acknowledging what's going on in this kun -- country. i think that's why you saw the turn locally in the election with republicans winning a lot of seats. >> harris: you can't get away from the word empathy john. i want to double down quickly. how much does that matter when you talk about a president who has north of 60% of people who don't approve in the latest usa today poll? >> you know, i hate to give the president any tips but if he would take some level of
8:48 am
responsibility for the failures of his administration i think it would go a long way. we aren't perfect. we all make mistakes. accept you could have done better in certain areas and try to improve. that's what a leader does. i tell you now we don't have a leader in the oval office. >> harris: congresswoman alexandria ocasio-cortez called out democratic strategist james carville blaming the loss they had in virginia on progressive's stupid wokeness. aoc as she calls herself woke is a term pundits are now using as a derogatory euphemism for civil rights and justice and before people complain woke is denigrating to older people it's insulting voters under 45, that's denigrating. don't wonder why youth turnout falls when dems talk about them
8:49 am
like this. amanda, what is your take? >> i knew you were coming to me. nice to see you again. >> harris: you're a democratic. >> my take is we need to be able to talk about the role that racially coded attacks play in american politics and using racially coded attacks has been an organizing tool for the gop for decades. whether we're talking about how reagan used welfare queens or how the pro-life movement came out of the gop's desire to keep schools racially segregated. and now we are using racially coded attacks in a way we're talking about critical race theory and not wanting to talk about the real ways that racism and white supremacy and patriarchy a violent organizing tools in this country. my take is we need to have real conversations, white women in the democratic party how race is at play here. we have never had a real true conversation about the role race plays in this country. >> harris: you know i have
8:50 am
respect for everybody. when you punt on a question that has to do with the infighting within your own family of party i should say not personal family but political one it makes me wonder if you understand what i'm asking. and it is less about you trying to play take a ball and -- take a bat and try to hit the ball away do you understand what it will take to dig out of the hole? >> absolutely. it takes the democrats facing the race conversation head on and owning it. before we do that we can't have a conversation. >> harris: when people tell you it is the economy and inflation. sioux i want to come to you. >> we can't have a conversation about racial justice without talking about the economy. they're intertwined and connected. sue. >> yes. so it is great to be here today and you know, the election in
8:51 am
virginia really signals how grave a peril the democrats are in going into the 2022 cycle. what the voters said is that we are tired of the tax and spend policies of the democrats. and you know, they are ready to vote republican in the upcoming election. aoc, president biden, speaker pelosi have all overplayed their hand and they are trying to tax and spend our country and people are just tired. the voters are -- there is a lot of enthusiasm behind the republican party right now and the other thing i want to stress is the young voters. the young voters know that when

they get into their jobs eventually, that they are going to struggle and have a tough time. and the voters time and time again what i'm seeing in the young folks out there, they are getting behind a republican candidates because they've seen their parents struggle. their grand parents struggle and they know we need to change the tide. the rejection election of last tuesday is a brilliant way to say it, it was a rejection election. going into 2022. >> harris: the point about what you are saying with the young people. john, i will come to you on this. i think someone among you probably -- and then you, too, natasha, needs to look at this idea of race. amanda put out rather incendiary call for that's where white democrats need to be focused. as a person of color i scratch my head a little on that. i'm wondering why the woke card gets played before the supply chain card for instance. john, what are your thoughts?
