S15 EP128: Hour 2 - Daylight Saving Time

Erick breaks down the House's bipartisan vote to make daylight saving time permanent — including his take on 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
