Erick breaks down the House's bipartisan vote to make daylight saving time permanent and why Senator Tom Cotton and a bipartisan bloc from Alaska to the Dakotas are quietly killing it over dark 9 a.m. winter sunrises, floating a 30 minute split the difference compromise. Then he turns to Abdul El-Sayed collapsing against Haley Stevens in Michigan, plays a Democratic Socialists of America leader's C-SPAN clip calling to abolish the U.S. Senate, and delivers a sweeping Constitution lesson on Article 5, states as semi sovereign nations, and how Brian Kemp's COVID reopening proved the states, not Washington, hold the police power.

  • Daylight saving time made permanent: Tom Cotton, John Thune, Roger Wicker, Amy Klobuchar, Tammy Duckworth, and the geographic North versus South divide, with a 30 minute compromise idea
  • Winter sunrise data from Anchorage, Kalispell, and New York City, plus Burgess Everett's reporting on Senate opposition
  • Abdul El-Sayed trailing Haley Stevens in Michigan, losing black voters by 46 points and working class voters by 22 points as voters reject socialism
  • DSA leader Ash Siddiqui on C-SPAN wanting to abolish the Senate and replace capitalism, and why Article 5 makes equal Senate suffrage unamendable
  • Brian Kemp, Keisha Lance Bottoms, and Stacey Abrams: how Georgia's COVID reopening proved states hold the police power, not the president
