The Show Notes: Ron DeSantis Live; The Queen at Rest; Biden on Inflation

IMPORTANT: Philip is on vacation. Your host, me, the named person who sits behind the microphone, is actually, factually writing this darn thing today and not just compiling all the links for Philip to put together. But if I screw it all up, blame him because he’s not here to do it. But you know, it actually works well with the show prep anyway. Now, on with the notes…

Welcome! Ron DeSantis is joining me live as you are getting this email. Click here to get into the immediate live feed to hear our conversation. Paid subscribers to this email will get the audio of the interview this afternoon.

HEADLINE STORY: The Second Elizabethan Era closes today. The biggest story in the world today is Queen Elizabeth II’s funeral. More than a billion people have watched it. CNN.

The Wall Street Journal has a summation video and every outlet on the planet has it, as I write, as their top story.

SURPRISE: On 60 Minutes, Joe Biden says his student loan bailout is unconstitutional. National Review. The gist is that if the pandemic is over, his emergency power to forgive student loans is over too.

HEAD’S UP: As I predicted, the midterms are tilting back to the GOP. Axios. More from, of all places, MSNBC. See also, this tweet:

Every quantitative indicator looks meh to bad for Republicans -- except for primary turnout. Basically if you add up turnout in all the primaries AND control for the effect of Dobbs, Trump's civil war -> there's evidence of a GOP advantage New piece: washingtonpost.com/opinions/2022/…

THIS NEEDS TO BE IN EVERY GOP AD:

“The annual inflation rate came in at 8.3 percent...” BIDEN: “First of all, let’s put this in perspective...” "It's the highest inflation rate, Mr. President in 40 years" BIDEN, annoyed: "I got that!"

THE BRAVES: They’re headed to the White House to celebrate their World Series win. AJC.

CLIP OF THE DAY:

Field Yates @FieldYates

APP STATE HAIL MARY FOR THE WIN!!!
