In this podcast, the Neal discusses the recent actions of Texas Democratic lawmakers who have fled to Illinois to prevent a quorum and block a vote on a new redistricting map. Texas Governor Greg Abbott is threatening to remove these lawmakers from office, citing a dereliction of duty and potential abandonment of their elected positions. Neal plays a clip of Representative Jasmine Crockett confirming their intent to break quorum. Governor Abbott is also exploring legal action, including potential bribery charges, if it’s found the lawmakers accepted money or anything of value, such as free flights and lodging from Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker, to thwart the legislative process. This is yet another example of the Democratic party’s “branding crisis” and inability to accept political losses.
The conversation later shifts to other topics, including a critique of the television show “The View” and the decline of late-night comedy, which the hosts attribute to overt political bias and a lack of balanced humor. They express alarm over a recent spate of violent crimes across the country and debate whether the pharmaceutical drugs a suspect is taking should be reported by law enforcement, similar to how illegal drug use is reported. The show also features a lengthy and spirited debate with a caller who advocates for the legalization of cannabis, starting with medicinal use for conditions like epilepsy and eventually for recreational freedom of choice. The hosts challenge this, expressing concern that legalizing marijuana for medical purposes often leads to widespread recreational use, and they worry about the negative societal impacts and the effects on children, similar to the widespread availability of pornography.
