I, by the way, on Wednesday, I need you to know this out of the gate because it's very important.

I'm not a, not a margarita tequila person, but oh my gosh, I have spent my time experimenting,

taking one for the team. You'll get a fantastic recipe for margaritas and margarita mix on Wednesday

if you text recipe to 33777. My apologies to the Baptist. Now, we got to talk about the

big headline of the day. Obviously, it is the shooting in Buffalo, New York. Here's my problem out of the gate.

As you are aware, as you see happening, as you will undoubtedly continue to see happening,

the media is using this to attack Republicans.

It is not a coincidence that it comes the same day the

political runs a story, which we will get to, that Joe Biden and the Democrats have decided

stop being nice, they're going to attack, attack, attack, attack, attack. That's going to be their

message for the midterms is attack, attack, attack, attack, attack.

They're going to savage the Republicans. They are doing it today by trying to say that the

Buffalo, New York shooter was inspired by Fox News and that the Republicans are white supremacists.

Rolling Stone magazine referred to the shooter at the grocery store in New York as a quote-unquote mainstream Republican.

This is infuriating, not just for its lack of dishonesty, but the crassness of it.

Never let a crisis go to waste while dead bodies are still warm on the ground, engaging in the blame game.

The obvious blame game.

Here's Peter Baker of the New York Times.

But broadly speaking, what you're saying is we're not going to even bother to compete for them.

We're not going to tell immigrants aren't born Democrats and that born Republicans.
