Chinese Intelligence Meddling in 2022 Midterm Elections
A declassified intelligence report suggests the Chinese Communist Party attempted to influence the 2022 U.S. midterm elections. Author Dean Baxendell explains that the "United Front" department uses media proxies and social media trolls to exacerbate political divisions and target candidates perceived as anti-China.
Biden Questions Legitimacy of 2022 Elections Without Reforms
President Biden suggested that the results of the 2022 midterm elections could be "illegitimate" if Democratic voting reforms are not passed. He also alluded to potential executive actions to bypass state-level voting changes. The hosts compare his rhetoric to a quote attributed to Joseph Stalin regarding the importance of who counts the votes.
Lyft's announcement of a legal defense fund for drivers is labeled as virtue signaling against Texas legislation that has not yet resulted in actual legal harm. The Supreme Court's refusal to block the law is clarified as a procedural decision based on the lack of a standing case rather than a ruling on the law's constitutionality.
Political analysts suggest that while the Texas abortion law fires up the Democratic base, it may have been triggered too early to sustain momentum for the 2022 midterms. The upcoming Mississippi abortion case is expected to serve as a "booster shot" for the issue, potentially overshadowing the Biden administration's challenges in Afghanistan.
Political Exit Strategies, Biden and Kamala Harris
Speculation regarding President Biden's future suggests he may resign before the 25th Amendment is invoked, allowing Kamala Harris to take office. This scenario could lead to a Republican-led impeachment of Harris following the 2022 midterm elections, though removal from office remains unlikely.
Kamala Harris Victory Call and Republican Impeachment Scenarios
A viral video captured Kamala Harris telling Joe Biden "We did it" over the phone, which the hosts analyze for her tone and demeanor. They discuss a political scenario where Biden is removed via the 25th Amendment, leading to a Harris presidency that results in a Republican landslide in the 2022 midterms. This theory suggests a Republican-led House could then impeach Harris to install a Republican Speaker as President.
