Summary
Republicans squandering their House majority over the last two years is informing what they'll do if they win out in November. Brian interviews Pod Save America co-host Jon Lovett about how to approach the issue of young people and progressives who are upset with Biden about what’s at stake in November’s election. And Debbie Mucarsel-Powell, who’s running for the US Senate in Florida against Rick Scott, joins to discuss the bombshell state Supreme Court ruling both allowing a 6-week abortion ban to take effect AND allowing the question of codifying abortion rights to appear on the ballot in November.

| 0:00.0 | Today we're going to talk about how Republicans have squandered their House majority over the last two years |
| 0:04.5 | and how that'll inform what they do if they win out in November. |
| 0:07.2 | And I interview Potsy of America co-host John Lovett about how to approach the issue of young people |
| 0:11.1 | and progressives who are upset with Biden about what's at stake in November's election. And I'm joined by Debbie |
| 0:15.9 | Mukersel Powell who's running for US Senate in Florida against Rick Scott to |
| 0:19.4 | discuss the bombshell state Supreme Court ruling both allowing a six-week abortion ban to take effect and allowing the question of Congress. on the As we head toward November, this will be the first election where we don't have to listen to |
| 0:36.7 | politicians make empty nebulous promises about what they would do in office because we have |
| 0:41.8 | the fortune or misfortune of simply being able to |
| 0:45.2 | look at what they did in office and so I thought that a comparison would be helpful |

| 1:04.0 | Since they've taken control, they've not spent a single solitary minute on inflation or gas prices. |
| 1:10.0 | But they have opted to squander 15 months on an impeachment effort against Joe Biden that was so disastrous they had no choice but to abandon it mid-probe. |
| 1:18.0 | There's also the fact that it was never actually intended to uncover any evidence of wrongdoing by Biden, but rather existed solely to give the optics |
| 1:24.8 | that he had done something wrong. In fact, it was so clear that Republicans never actually |
| 1:29.0 | intended to impeach him because there was such a void of evidence that Jared Moskowitz literally offered to be the first |
| 1:34.2 | vote for impeachment and still not a single Republican would second his motion. |
| 1:38.7 | Like think about that for a second. A Democrat, Jared Moskowitz was like, you want to impeach him? |
| 1:43.7 | Fine, I'll start the vote. |
