Summary
After briefly congratulating Asa Hutchinson for finally recognizing reality and ending his White House bid, they dig into new poll numbers in the swing state of Georgia showing President Biden eight points behind Donald Trump and even doing very badly among women and black voters. His negatives are sky high and some usually reliable Democrats say they plan to stay home.
Then they bang their heads on their desks as the Biden administration finally decides to label the Iran-backed Houthis as terrorists (as they were during the Trump years) but Biden is applying a different terrorist label that carries much less harsh consequences than the previous designation did.
Finally, they take a bit of a break from politics to get a laugh from yesterday's press conference in Tampa, as a reporter asks Buccaneers Head Coach Todd Bowles if he has plans acclimate his team for cold weather when it plays in Detroit on Sunday - apparently having no idea that Detroit has played indoors since 1975.
