Don't Pet the Snake... or the Hornet

<p>In todays episode, Chris shares an anecdote about a run in with a hornet in his house this morning as an instruction on <strong>how Dems need to play their hand</strong>. He hits on the idea that playing nice will not get it done when it comes to Democrats getting their dual infrastructure plans passed, as the window is closing for action before the midterms.</p><p>Not to mention the hill to die on in Chris' estimation: getting the<i> Freedom to Vote Act</i> passed, like, yesterday.</p><p>The opposition of Senator Manchin and Senator Sinema to the $3.5 trillion reconciliation is a problem for Dems they need to figure out and fix. Voters will not forgive them for "Manchinema's" blockage, they will see it as a failure of the whole party.</p><p><strong>And Another Thing</strong>: Chris takes a beat on tennis star Novak Djokovic being able to play at the U.S. Open despite saying no to the vaccine. Contrasted with Naomi Osaka's pile on over protecting her own mental health, Chris shines a light on this selective outrage.</p>
