likely democratic nominees, opponents and neck and neck with the other and meanwhile, he is internal republican polls and the second favorite among republicans after former president trump himself. if president trump is unable or unwilling to run in 2024, governor desantis looks like the front runner. the incentives for him are to keep going and he's got another incentive that is even maybe more powerful because one of the things a lot of republicans learned from president trump is it's not a mistake until you admit it. ist it's not a failure until you admit it. if you've made a bad choice, stick with it because republican primary voters care more about continuity, toughness, face it, finding somebody else to blame, attacking the media and doctors than seeing you correct a mistake you made because you have different information now where you have more insight into what the truth is. >> it is definitely one strategy. dr. reiner, there are a number of republican governors we should point out that have been urging residents for months to get vaccinated. among the most vocal jim justice in west vir

there are fewer internal differences among democrats and republicans that might allow for some republicanswork with some democrats. the electoral system can help with that. and there is some experimentation, in alaska next year, and it's being considered in a variety of places. i think that is very constructive. it is important that when we face an element of our system that we think is failing we ask ourselves how can we change it and we try to do that and see what happens. and so i am encouraged by those experiments, but we should not assume we know how to go, because these things have a way of surprising us. >> thank you. >> i think he wants to get in on this. >> i want to respond to the dean. i will use colorado as an example. we went to allow all unaffiliated voters to vote in the primary. and they get a democratic ballot, they get a republican ballot, they can choose one and move forward. i was supposed to. i said you had to be a member of the party. you are working hard. we did this two years ago. as an example, a former governor, a moderate centrist kind of guy, dealmaker, was runn

republican voters what about persuadable voters? >> well, i think that's something that we have to look into more with internal polling, especially.hought democrats would do well on and their handling of is lauded is their handling of the coronavirus pandemic we're seeing some of that support peel back as the delta variant is surging across the country and as we see a return to indoor mask mandates and potential shutdowns it's starting to be a bit of a liability for the biden administration. that's something that democrats are looking at. of course one has to get a better grip on delta but also messaging on the pandemic as well. that's going to be a big thing for democrats. among immigration, the border, crime, it is something that the persuadables, it's an enticeable message for them. we have to see how it plays out over the next several months. we have a bit of time p before the big crunch for the midterms but these are some of the key messaging that we know is going to play a big roll for republicans ahead of 2022. >> is your sense that democrats tried to counter punch on their issues or they stick to infrastructure, covid, the

other than the democrat and republican congo, and clearly what we're seeing with these sanctions from the international community and trying to cut off on reserves. certainly that's going to make the challenges even greater. and i think our bond there is a lot of pressure because this is the group that does not have it here, ends with governance when it comes to economic policy. when it's our bond within control, back in the ninety's governance with all about switch strict forms of justice. it was not about careful consideration the fiscal policy. so and the taliban tries to gain legitimacy among afghan. it's really going to struggle because if it's not in the position to bring economic release soon, you know these, these protests that we're seeing now could cree intensify. and also if you continue to have terrorist attacks like the one that happened the other day, that will put even more pressure on how about it could make it difficult for to consolidate the power. now the last, british military flight has left cobble, taking the u. k. is remaining diplomats and troops out of afghanistan. it marked th

amongst republican maybe as much as he would among his own democratic supporters. on the internationalront, there may be more criticism. after listening to what joe biden said tonight, a lot of countries may also be thinking maybe we should be looking at this situation over why we should be fighting someone else's civil war when the day we decide to pull out, they all run for governor -- run for cover. they should be able to fight the war and we should not be doing it for them. >> the situation in afghanistan is chaotic and the scenes at the airport in kabul really tell the story as it is unfolding. it is worth remembering some 90 french military lives were lost. 435 or more british military lives. within two and a half thousand americans lost -- more than two and half thousand americans lost their lives. joe biden talks about the frustration and anger people are feeling at this outcome. it is all there to describe. >> he was categorical about the fact that what he did not want was for more sadness and more bereavement to come to american fa 08/16/21 08/16/21 [captioning made possible

republican congo. and clearly, what we're seeing with these sanctions from the international community and trying to cut off on reserves. certainly that's going to make the challenges even greater . and i think for the taliban there is a lot of pressure because this is a group. it does not have experience with governance when it comes to economic policy. when it's alan bon was in control back in the ninety's governance was all about, you know, the switch strict forms of justice. it was not about careful consideration, the fiscal policy. so as the taliban tries to gang legitimacy among afghans, it's really going to struggle because if it's not in the position to bring economic release soon, you know these, these projects that we're seeing now could create, intensify. and also if you continue to have terrorist attacks like the one that happened the other day that will put even more pressure on our body, could make it difficult for us to consolidate power. right? and with the, with the, with the u. s. stopping the funding as well as the world bank and the international monetary fund. do you expect other co

republican governments. in other words, a self-governing people had to be virtuous. they had to be virtuous and control from within by an internal moral compass. because why? because the great american experiment is throwing off the external control of an authoritarian ruler whip and rod. yes, the authoritarian ruler can use the whip to compel people to behave in the order in which you want them, but clearly the whip and the rod is unacceptable for a free self-governing people. and what's going to replace that whip? it's that internal moral compass, nurtured by the civic virtues that are ip stilled in the language and lessons of scripture. so why did john adams say, why did john adams say that the bible was the most republican book in the world? well, i think we know, right? he tells us. he thinks it's the most republican book in the world because he believes without national morality, a republican government cannot be maintained. and because he believed that the bible contains the most perfect morality and the most refined policy that was ever conceived upon earth. right? what is he telling us? it is republican because this is
