rding to Rasmussen, 65% of Democrats think Trump should be banned from the X platform. Two thirds of Democrats think the guy who's going to be probably the next president, or at least if the election's not rigged, and that he should be banned from the major political platform. It's almost amazing. Now Biden is running to restore freedom and democracy. What freedom is he restoring? He's putting peo…

's not too old saw him in command and full of energy and seizing the moment and winning the day. So let's not pretend any of this is objective.

Well as Adam Townshend said, and ex state senator Katie Britt is some kind of a rising GOP star. So she did the rebuttal. I would like to give you my impression of listening to Katie Britt give the rebuttal. Click. Let's see what the rebuttal looks like. Oh God. Oh. Oh God. Oh. Oh God. Turn it off. Turn it off. Turn it off. Did any of you make it through that? Her voice and her charisma are like anti-charismatic. Who in the world thought she's the next Obama? That's the worst thing I've ever seen. It was a total car wreck.

Now if I'm saying that, now remember I'd like to see the Republicans do well in this election. Why in the world did they pick her? What is going on with that? And then one of the other, I forget who, one of the women in Congress I think said why did you put her in a kitchen? They put her in a kitchen. So the Republicans finally, you know which I suppose is not, I'm sure they've had women do the response before, but it's you know if they're trying to show that they're open minded that they put their rising star in a kitchen. Seriously. And then had her dressed, you know, semi, you know maybe like business casual but something you might have been wearing in the kitchen as well. Terrible. Oh my God.

Haley did the 2016 response. Yeah, now Haley is a very credible speaker. I mean there's a reason she did relatively well. I would consider Haley a very good public speaker, above average. But poor Katie Britt. Yeah she's not ready and she doesn't sound like a serious person actually. All right, so that didn't work out for the Republicans.

Tucker Carlson is doubling down on saying that Biden can't win and that that's obviously going to be rigged. And he says that they're basically saying it loud. And they, meaning Democrats. And he talks about the attorney general, what's his name? What's our attorney general's name? Merrick Garland. And how he is out there in public talking about getting rid of IDs for voting and doing more mail-in ballots and basically everything that makes your vote less credible. So he's literally out there just strongly promoting things that really don't have a purpose other than cheating. They really don't. There's no other purpose. And to even pretend there's some other purpose other than cheating is a little too far. I can't go there. I can't wrap my brain around the fact that there's any legitimate reason to not require ID.

You know the whole black people don't have ID thing is beyond absurd because you know what? I don't want to fix, here's a problem I don't want to fix. I don't want to get more votes from people who can't figure out how to get an ID. Does anybody want that? If you were to talk to black American voters, you say you know hey sir do you vote? Well yes I do. All right well as a voter do you think that black voters, black people who can't get an ID, do you think that they should vote? What would a black voter say? I don't know actually. But what would a black voter say to the idea that black people who can't get an ID should be adding to the political process? What exactly are they adding? Their brilliance? Their preferences? Why are we trying to solve this problem? What problem is being solved? None.

Yeah they're doing the disenfranchised stuff. Do you think somebody who doesn't have a government ID is worried about being disenfranchised? That might be the last thing they're worrying about. Oh I'd hate to be disenfranchised. I don't have a bank. I don't have a job. I don't have a credit card. I don't have a way to buy things without cash and cash is going to go away. No, you have much bigger problems than being disenfranchised from voting for somebody you haven't paid attention to anyway.

So Tucker is right. But the funniest thing he said was he referred to Chris Hayes on MSNBC and I quote as the most famous lesbian in televisio

n. So that's something Tucker said. The most famous lesbian in television. I laugh because it's so wrong. Now the thing is that's not an insult to lesbians, is it? I don't believe anybody's trying to insult lesbians with that. It's more like it's more like Chris Hayes is just morphing to whatever he needs to be. So to me it just sounds like a Chris Hayes insult. It's kind of funny. But I wouldn't…
