1 00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:02,760 Speaker 1: I'm the only Democrat in my family. I grew up 2 00:00:02,800 --> 00:00:06,960 Speaker 1: in a conservative part of Pennsylvania, and I grew up 3 00:00:06,960 --> 00:00:09,800 Speaker 1: and I know, and I love people that voted for 4 00:00:09,880 --> 00:00:14,080 Speaker 1: President Trump, but they are not fascists, they're not Nazis. 5 00:00:14,080 --> 00:00:17,080 Speaker 1: They're not trying to destroy her the constitution most. 6 00:00:17,040 --> 00:00:19,479 Speaker 2: And that's why John Fetterman will no longer be the 7 00:00:19,520 --> 00:00:23,560 Speaker 2: Senator from Pennsylvania because the Democrats are going to primary 8 00:00:23,640 --> 00:00:26,520 Speaker 2: challenge the living daylights out of him. You already have 9 00:00:26,600 --> 00:00:29,200 Speaker 2: axios with the story that this is the plan. He 10 00:00:29,320 --> 00:00:32,400 Speaker 2: spoke at a town hall event there on News Nation 11 00:00:33,280 --> 00:00:37,160 Speaker 2: and said, I disagree with people. It doesn't make them fascists. 12 00:00:37,560 --> 00:00:40,559 Speaker 2: Dear Lord, they tried to assassinate Charlie Kirk. Could we 13 00:00:40,640 --> 00:00:44,840 Speaker 2: tone down the rhetoric? And for that he will be destroyed. 14 00:00:44,880 --> 00:00:48,000 Speaker 2: Tony Katz, Tony Katz today, Great to be with you. 15 00:00:48,159 --> 00:00:50,480 Speaker 2: Ed Morrissey joins me right now.

You wright 21 00:01:07,640 --> 00:01:12,040 Speaker 2: panic at the demsco as opposed to Disco. Obama jumps 22 00:01:12,080 --> 00:01:16,000 Speaker 2: in to save Spamberger in Virginia. This is the gubernatorial candidate, 23 00:01:16,080 --> 00:01:21,320 Speaker 2: the Democrat, Abigail Spamberger, who's just getting walloped every which 24 00:01:21,360 --> 00:01:24,839 Speaker 2: way but loose by the Republican Lieutenant Governor Winsome Earl 25 00:01:24,959 --> 00:01:29,600 Speaker 2: Sears is her name, specifically because Spamberger won't denounce the 26 00:01:29,640 --> 00:01:33,800 Speaker 2: Attorney general candidate Jay Jones, who said that the Republican 27 00:01:33,880 --> 00:01:36,600 Speaker 2: Speaker of the House of Virginia should be killed along 28 00:01:36,640 --> 00:01:41,160 Speaker 2: with his two kids. And when you see Obama supporting Spamburger, 29 00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:45,360 Speaker 2: just like you see Obama going in to California and saying, 30 00:01:45,400 --> 00:01:50,080 Speaker 2: you know what, we should redistrict, the translation only comes 31 00:01:50,120 --> 00:01:54,480 Speaker 2: out to my god, they really are feeling some desperation. 32 00:01:54,640 --> 00:01:54,880 Speaker 3: Here. 33 00:01:55,480 --> 00:01:58,280 Speaker 2: Ed Morrissey talk to me about what's going on in 34 00:01:58,320 --> 00:02:00,560 Speaker 2: this Virginia race and obama entrance. 35 00:02:01,520 --> 00:02:03,480 Speaker 3: Well, I mean you've covered it pretty well here, Tony. 36 00:02:03,800 --> 00:02:06,000 Speaker 3: This is not the first time that Obama has done this. 37 00:02:06,360 --> 00:02:08,520 Speaker 3: People may forget this, but he had to do this 38 00:02:08,560 --> 00:02:11,040 Speaker 3: four years ago to try to save Terry Mcalliugh's campaign 39 00:02:11,360 --> 00:02:15,040 Speaker 3: in the good minatorial election in which Glenn Youngkin want 40 00:02:15,080 --> 00:02:18,560 Speaker 3: a surprise victory. And this is you know, Terry mccaulliff. 41 00:02:19,400 --> 00:02:22,280 Speaker 3: His his big problem was that he equated parents showing 42 00:02:22,360 --> 00:02:26,200 Speaker 3: up to school board meetings to domestic terrorism. Now this 43 00:02:26,280 --> 00:02:29,200 Speaker 3: is right after January sixth, and Democrats thought that the 44 00:02:29,320 --> 00:02:32,239 Speaker 3: January sixth narrative was a winner for elections, and Terry 45 00:02:32,280 --> 00:02:35,720 Speaker 3: mcculliff went all in on that and ended up getting 46 00:02:36,360 --> 00:02:40,160 Speaker 3: spanked in the general election, surprisingly so by Glenn Youngkin. 47 00:02:41,120 --> 00:02:45,279 Speaker 3: They're doing the same thing here. And it's really mystifying 48 00:02:45,320 --> 00:02:49,880 Speaker 3: to me what the calculation is here, because Jay Jones 49 00:02:50,160 --> 00:02:52,320 Speaker 3: may or may not have won the Attorney general race 50 00:02:52,400 --> 00:02:55,920 Speaker 3: without these without these texts coming out, I think he 51 00:02:56,000 --> 00:03:00,440 Speaker 3: was slightly ahead against the incumbent, Jason Miarrez. But an 52 00:03:00,480 --> 00:03:03,280 Speaker 3: AG race is not as important as a gubernatorial race. 53 00:03:03,480 --> 00:03:06,960 Speaker 3: And you know, the rule in politics is usually very practical. 54 00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:09,919 Speaker 3: If somebody becomes a liability, you cut them off right 55 00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:14,320 Speaker 3: you you dumped them, You denounce them and save your 56 00:03:14,360 --> 00:03:18,040 Speaker 3: own skin. Democrats have not done that with j Jones, 57 00:03:18,040 --> 00:03:21,280 Speaker 3: even though j Jones was stupid enough to put this 58 00:03:21,520 --> 00:03:28,440 Speaker 3: in a reproducible media texting, right, this idea that I 59 00:03:28,440 --> 00:03:31,680 Speaker 3: forget the name of the speaker, but Todd I can't 60 00:03:31,680 --> 00:03:35,520 Speaker 3: recall his last name. Todd Gilbert and his children, Todd Gilbert, 61 00:03:35,560 --> 00:03:38,920 Speaker 3: thank you very Todd Gilbert and his children should be 62 00:03:39,120 --> 00:03:45,480 Speaker 3: murdered so that Republicans vote better on policy issues, which 63 00:03:45,560 --> 00:03:47,760 Speaker 3: was then followed up by claims that he had also 64 00:03:47,880 --> 00:03:52,080 Speaker 3: said that law enforcement officers should be killed in order 65 00:03:52,160 --> 00:03:57,840 Speaker 3: to reduce police shootings. That's the type of thing that 66 00:03:58,600 --> 00:04:01,880 Speaker 3: is far worse than any thing mccauloff ever did or said. 67 00:04:02,480 --> 00:04:06,680 Speaker 3: And Spanburger just as decided to stick with him, and 68 00:04:06,760 --> 00:04:11,000 Speaker 3: so has Tim Cain, so has Mark Warner, so as 69 00:04:11,040 --> 00:04:15,880 Speaker 3: the entire Democrat establishment now including Barack Obama. He's going 70 00:04:15,920 --> 00:04:21,000 Speaker 3: there to rescue Spanburger because Spanburger won't denounce Jones. And 71 00:04:21,040 --> 00:04:24,560 Speaker 3: so basically, this is the upshot of this is the 72 00:04:24,680 --> 00:04:28,520 Speaker 3: Jones scandal is going to infect Democrats nationally because they're 73 00:04:28,600 --> 00:04:32,520 Speaker 3: nationalizing this election by bringing in Obama rather than just 74 00:04:32,600 --> 00:04:35,799 Speaker 3: say Jones is a moron and you shouldn't vote for him. 75 00:04:36,120 --> 00:04:38,039 Speaker 3: I mean, it's pretty or at least we're not going 76 00:04:38,080 --> 00:04:40,839 Speaker 3: to endorse him. You know, make up your own mind 77 00:04:40,839 --> 00:04:43,080 Speaker 3: on Jones. But we're no longer endorsing him after seeing 78 00:04:43,080 --> 00:04:45,599 Speaker 3: those messages. So it's very simple and it would have 79 00:04:45,640 --> 00:04:48,920 Speaker 3: been very understandable to cut him loose. Instead, they're doubling 80 00:04:48,960 --> 00:04:52,000 Speaker 3: down on stupid and they're bringing in Obama to try 81 00:04:52,040 --> 00:04:53,760 Speaker 3: to score the double down. 82 00:04:54,560 --> 00:04:57,440 Speaker 2: Talking to Ed Morrissey of hotair dot com, there are 83 00:04:57,480 --> 00:04:59,360 Speaker 2: a lot of names, so let's break it down to 84 00:04:59,440 --> 00:05:02,800 Speaker 2: a more com a basic component understanding of what it 85 00:05:02,839 --> 00:05:06,360 Speaker 2: is that we're seeing here. What we're seeing here is 86 00:05:06,400 --> 00:05:09,360 Speaker 2: that when a bunch of morons on the political right 87 00:05:09,680 --> 00:05:15,200 Speaker 2: are involved in group text talking joyfully about Hitler, mocking Jews, 88 00:05:15,240 --> 00:05:17,599 Speaker 2: mocking black people, using the N word, all these things, 89 00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:21,440 Speaker 2: it's the end of civilization as we know it. And 90 00:05:21,480 --> 00:05:24,480 Speaker 2: you'll see people on the political rights say, yeah, that's dumb. Sorry, 91 00:05:24,520 --> 00:05:26,560 Speaker 2: you're gonna lose your job. No, you can't be connected 92 00:05:26,600 --> 00:05:28,320 Speaker 2: to at least de phonic. You know, you can't be 93 00:05:28,360 --> 00:05:29,760 Speaker 2: connected to this one, that one, the other one. You 94 00:05:29,800 --> 00:05:32,120 Speaker 2: got to go. You're out of a job. Maybe you'll learn, 95 00:05:32,160 --> 00:05:34,360 Speaker 2: maybe you'll get better and smarter. You can come back 96 00:05:34,360 --> 00:05:37,560 Speaker 2: in ten years. But the political left doesn't look at 97 00:05:37,600 --> 00:05:41,599 Speaker 2: their own house and say this is unacceptable. So people 98 00:05:41,720 --> 00:05:44,119 Speaker 2: don't want to get on the case of these people 99 00:05:44,120 --> 00:05:46,479 Speaker 2: on the political right, because the left doesn't get on 100 00:05:46,480 --> 00:05:49,880 Speaker 2: the case of the political left. I argue that what 101 00:05:49,880 --> 00:05:52,120 Speaker 2: we're seeing on the political left should be called out 102 00:05:52,400 --> 00:05:55,880 Speaker 2: on every level. This call for violence is will willingness 103 00:05:56,000 --> 00:05:59,240 Speaker 2: for violence, the obscenity. But when you see it in 104 00:05:59,279 --> 00:06:01,359 Speaker 2: your own size, you got to say that that's wrong. 105 00:06:01,440 --> 00:06:05,200 Speaker 2: That's the that's the play that actually moves people. Am 106 00:06:05,200 --> 00:06:06,039 Speaker 2: I wrong about that? 107 00:06:06,960 --> 00:06:09,480 Speaker 3: No? No, I think you're right, and not just because 108 00:06:09,520 --> 00:06:12,479 Speaker 3: it's strategic or tactical, just because it's the right too. 109 00:06:12,600 --> 00:06:14,600 Speaker 3: You should tell people. You should tell people who are 110 00:06:14,600 --> 00:06:19,240 Speaker 3: saying yay Hitler to go pound sand. However, there is 111 00:06:19,080 --> 00:06:21,960 Speaker 3: a there is a difference between a group of you 112 00:06:21,960 --> 00:06:25,480 Speaker 3: know what we could probably you know, you know, sarcastically 113 00:06:25,560 --> 00:06:28,720 Speaker 3: referred to as NPC's non player characters having a group 114 00:06:28,800 --> 00:06:32,479 Speaker 3: chat someplace, and having somebody who's actually running for office 115 00:06:32,520 --> 00:06:37,080 Speaker 3: talking about cheering on the murder at his opponent's children. 116 00:06:37,800 --> 00:06:40,239 Speaker 3: That's a whole different thing. This is an actual candidate 117 00:06:40,240 --> 00:06:42,480 Speaker 3: for office who's saying this right, and he was in 118 00:06:42,640 --> 00:06:44,320 Speaker 3: office at the time he was saying it. He was 119 00:06:44,400 --> 00:06:46,719 Speaker 3: a state legislator at the time that he was saying 120 00:06:46,800 --> 00:06:50,360 Speaker 3: that he was texting this argument, and so there's it's 121 00:06:50,360 --> 00:06:53,159 Speaker 3: a it's a completely different issue. I mean, yeah, you 122 00:06:53,200 --> 00:06:56,480 Speaker 3: can go you can go troll Discord and find idiots 123 00:06:56,720 --> 00:06:59,720 Speaker 3: across the spectrum saying idiotic things. This is a guy 124 00:06:59,720 --> 00:07:02,279 Speaker 3: who's actually running for state wide office in Virginia on 125 00:07:02,360 --> 00:07:07,159 Speaker 3: the Democrat ticket, and he's been he said these things. 126 00:07:07,200 --> 00:07:09,440 Speaker 3: He said a number of things that are very radical 127 00:07:09,520 --> 00:07:16,120 Speaker 3: and just morally repugnant, and Democrats are refusing to police 128 00:07:16,160 --> 00:07:20,680 Speaker 3: their own situation. It's amazing to me. I think it's 129 00:07:20,840 --> 00:07:22,120 Speaker 3: I mean, we can talk a little bit more about 130 00:07:22,120 --> 00:07:25,920 Speaker 3: the era of shamelessness and politics that's been ever since 131 00:07:27,240 --> 00:07:29,800 Speaker 3: Bill Clinton waggled a finger at a podium said I 132 00:07:29,840 --> 00:07:32,080 Speaker 3: did not have sexual relations with that woman. 133 00:07:32,440 --> 00:07:37,080 Speaker 2: What kind of impression is that? That's your impression? 134 00:07:38,200 --> 00:07:40,679 Speaker 3: That's as good as it gets on a Thursday morning. 135 00:07:40,720 --> 00:07:44,960 Speaker 2: Come on now, Okay, by the way, can you speak 136 00:07:45,000 --> 00:07:47,360 Speaker 2: to people who wag their fingers and others? Can you 137 00:07:47,400 --> 00:07:50,120 Speaker 2: do the impression of Nancy Pelosi yelling at a reporter, 138 00:07:50,560 --> 00:07:51,160 Speaker 2: shut up. 139 00:07:51,080 --> 00:07:54,640 Speaker 4: Don't talk to me about January sixth. You don't understand 140 00:07:54,640 --> 00:07:58,280 Speaker 4: what I understand. It's all Trump's falk that's all. It is, like, 141 00:07:58,400 --> 00:08:01,360 Speaker 4: that's not bad. That's not bad Nancy Pelosi. In my view, 142 00:08:01,480 --> 00:08:02,040 Speaker 4: what about you. 143 00:08:01,960 --> 00:08:06,680 Speaker 3: Got one Nancy Pelosi. If Nancy Pelosi was on the 144 00:08:06,760 --> 00:08:10,360 Speaker 3: Upper West Side, I think that that's right. Nancy Pelosi 145 00:08:10,400 --> 00:08:14,040 Speaker 3: is though she was from the Upper West Side. But still, yeah, 146 00:08:14,200 --> 00:08:17,360 Speaker 3: neither one of us should go into the impersonation industry. 147 00:08:17,400 --> 00:08:18,920 Speaker 3: I don't think we have I don't. I think we 148 00:08:18,960 --> 00:08:20,239 Speaker 3: should both keep our day jobs. 149 00:08:20,720 --> 00:08:24,360 Speaker 2: That says you talking to Ed Morrissey of hot air 150 00:08:24,440 --> 00:08:28,560 Speaker 2: dot com. Impersonations is my day job. The But you 151 00:08:28,600 --> 00:08:30,480 Speaker 2: want to talk about wagging the finger, you want to 152 00:08:30,520 --> 00:08:33,320 Speaker 2: talk about coming in and saying I'm above it on 153 00:08:33,440 --> 00:08:37,120 Speaker 2: you should listen to me. That's this, this Barack Obama 154 00:08:37,200 --> 00:08:40,640 Speaker 2: story going into Virginia thinking he could save it for her. 155 00:08:41,120 --> 00:08:43,760 Speaker 2: He's now in favor of redistricting and talking about this 156 00:08:43,880 --> 00:08:47,840 Speaker 2: in California. Barack Obama today is not the Barack Obama 157 00:08:47,840 --> 00:08:50,960 Speaker 2: of ten years ago. He doesn't have the juice that 158 00:08:51,040 --> 00:08:55,200 Speaker 2: he used to have. Not that's not me being engaging 159 00:08:55,200 --> 00:08:57,880 Speaker 2: in hyperbole or just oh because he's a Democrat. This 160 00:08:57,960 --> 00:09:00,960 Speaker 2: is the data. He doesn't have the Look what he 161 00:09:01,080 --> 00:09:04,200 Speaker 2: was doing about black men in the Kamala Harris election 162 00:09:04,280 --> 00:09:07,960 Speaker 2: and how much that backfired. Barack Obama's gonna make the 163 00:09:08,040 --> 00:09:11,080 Speaker 2: difference for Democrats, No, I. 164 00:09:11,120 --> 00:09:13,319 Speaker 3: Don't think so. He didn't make the difference for Democrats 165 00:09:13,320 --> 00:09:16,320 Speaker 3: four years ago, and he had more juice speck then, right, 166 00:09:16,760 --> 00:09:19,800 Speaker 3: He was more relevant four years ago, especially you know, 167 00:09:19,920 --> 00:09:23,640 Speaker 3: in the aftermath of January sixth, and before all this 168 00:09:23,679 --> 00:09:28,480 Speaker 3: stuff started coming out about how they basically cooked up 169 00:09:28,480 --> 00:09:33,800 Speaker 3: the Russia collusion allegations against Donald Trump. He's got much 170 00:09:33,880 --> 00:09:38,360 Speaker 3: less juice these days, and he's barely showed up. He's 171 00:09:38,440 --> 00:09:41,520 Speaker 3: too busy making movies, I guess at Netflix or building 172 00:09:41,559 --> 00:09:47,079 Speaker 3: that really interesting looking Presidential library in Chicago. Looks like 173 00:09:47,120 --> 00:09:52,800 Speaker 3: a disaster unfolding in slow motion there. He's not part 174 00:09:52,840 --> 00:09:57,520 Speaker 3: of the conversation anymore. I will say this, The failure 175 00:09:57,559 --> 00:10:03,040 Speaker 3: of the expert class that Obama curated in the pandemic 176 00:10:03,720 --> 00:10:07,280 Speaker 3: and then in the Middle East, I think makes his 177 00:10:07,360 --> 00:10:11,520 Speaker 3: position even makes him even less relevant than he was, say, 178 00:10:12,760 --> 00:10:17,120 Speaker 3: two months ago, three months ago. I think Barack Obama 179 00:10:17,160 --> 00:10:19,880 Speaker 3: taking out Rand's nuclear facilities and putting an end to 180 00:10:20,000 --> 00:10:23,400 Speaker 3: that threat once and for all made Barack Obama. It 181 00:10:23,480 --> 00:10:28,560 Speaker 3: really exposed Barack Obama as a diletant thinker on the 182 00:10:28,559 --> 00:10:34,719 Speaker 3: world stage and made Obamas am completely irrelevant. And he's 183 00:10:34,760 --> 00:10:36,560 Speaker 3: going to go in there. He's going to fire up 184 00:10:36,600 --> 00:10:40,880 Speaker 3: the federal workers in northern Virginia, maybe who weren't going 185 00:10:40,960 --> 00:10:43,040 Speaker 3: to vote for winso Earl series in the first place. 186 00:10:43,120 --> 00:10:46,720 Speaker 3: But I think that there's a potential here for backfire 187 00:10:46,800 --> 00:10:50,319 Speaker 3: by sticking Obama in front of the entirety of Virginia 188 00:10:50,640 --> 00:10:55,680 Speaker 3: and thinking that it might not result in a higher 189 00:10:55,720 --> 00:10:58,560 Speaker 3: turnout among people who just don't like Obama in the 190 00:10:58,600 --> 00:11:01,400 Speaker 3: rest of Virginia. I think that they're doubling down on 191 00:11:01,480 --> 00:11:02,520 Speaker 3: stupid in Virginia. 192 00:11:03,040 --> 00:11:07,160 Speaker 2: Talk to Edmarssey of hotair dot com. Let's go back 193 00:11:07,200 --> 00:11:09,760 Speaker 2: now to something we were discussing with John Fetterman, who 194 00:11:09,880 --> 00:11:12,240 Speaker 2: does this town hall on News Nation there at the 195 00:11:12,280 --> 00:11:15,280 Speaker 2: Kennedy Center. Just because you disagree with me doesn't make 196 00:11:15,280 --> 00:11:17,880 Speaker 2: you a fascist. Republicans are not fascist. Trump supporters are 197 00:11:17,920 --> 00:11:21,480 Speaker 2: not fascist. We have to stop this and then being 198 00:11:21,640 --> 00:11:24,680 Speaker 2: very honest about what this shutdown. 199 00:11:24,240 --> 00:11:27,040 Speaker 1: Is then party and it's the wrong thing for the 200 00:11:27,040 --> 00:11:29,760 Speaker 1: country in a period of chaos. I refuse to vote 201 00:11:29,880 --> 00:11:32,720 Speaker 1: to shut our government down. I absolutely would love to 202 00:11:32,760 --> 00:11:41,960 Speaker 1: have I would love to have a conversation about extending 203 00:11:42,000 --> 00:11:45,440 Speaker 1: the tax credits for healthcare. Absolutely, but I would remind 204 00:11:45,480 --> 00:11:49,160 Speaker 1: everybody too, this was designed by the Democratic Party to 205 00:11:49,240 --> 00:11:51,200 Speaker 1: expire at the end of the year. This is not 206 00:11:51,320 --> 00:11:55,199 Speaker 1: something taken from by the Republicans. 207 00:11:56,160 --> 00:11:59,880 Speaker 2: And for that Ed Marssey, for the honesty, and of 208 00:12:00,120 --> 00:12:03,640 Speaker 2: course clearly for the support of Israel's existence and calling 209 00:12:03,720 --> 00:12:07,240 Speaker 2: Jamas the terrorist that they are, the Democrats have the 210 00:12:07,280 --> 00:12:10,000 Speaker 2: long knives out. He's going to be a one term senator. 211 00:12:10,000 --> 00:12:10,640 Speaker 2: True or false? 212 00:12:11,960 --> 00:12:13,200 Speaker 3: Well, I don't know that he's going to be a 213 00:12:13,200 --> 00:12:17,160 Speaker 3: one term senator because he's got options here. They're certainly 214 00:12:17,200 --> 00:12:18,760 Speaker 3: going to try to make him a one term senator, 215 00:12:18,760 --> 00:12:21,840 Speaker 3: and I would I think it's not because of the shutdown. 216 00:12:21,840 --> 00:12:23,319 Speaker 3: I don't think that has anything to do with it. 217 00:12:24,880 --> 00:12:27,520 Speaker 3: They are they are going to make him. They're going 218 00:12:27,559 --> 00:12:29,160 Speaker 3: to try to make him a one term senator because 219 00:12:29,200 --> 00:12:32,560 Speaker 3: of his position on Israel and because he's basically the 220 00:12:32,640 --> 00:12:36,400 Speaker 3: moral center of the Democrat caucus as it is right now, 221 00:12:36,440 --> 00:12:40,160 Speaker 3: and the radical left doesn't like it. And you know, 222 00:12:40,160 --> 00:12:41,920 Speaker 3: I did a little research on it this morning, because 223 00:12:41,920 --> 00:12:44,360 Speaker 3: I've written a piece about this. I went to guv 224 00:12:44,440 --> 00:12:46,719 Speaker 3: Track and looked at his voting record or what they 225 00:12:46,760 --> 00:12:50,680 Speaker 3: what they call the ideological positioning of this of the 226 00:12:50,720 --> 00:12:53,640 Speaker 3: Senate in the previous congress. This is, you know, twenty 227 00:12:53,640 --> 00:12:57,600 Speaker 3: twenty three to twenty twenty five, John Fetterman is the 228 00:12:57,679 --> 00:13:05,240 Speaker 3: sixteenth most left leaning senator in the United States Senate. 229 00:13:05,800 --> 00:13:08,040 Speaker 3: You know who scores much worse than him in terms 230 00:13:08,040 --> 00:13:12,240 Speaker 3: of ideology with the radical left, Adam Schiff. Adam Schiff 231 00:13:12,320 --> 00:13:15,760 Speaker 3: is actually slightly to the right of Lisa Erkowski on 232 00:13:15,840 --> 00:13:19,760 Speaker 3: this list. Chuck Schumer is farther to the right, like 233 00:13:20,080 --> 00:13:23,000 Speaker 3: by fifteen positions, farther to the right than John Fetterman. 234 00:13:23,160 --> 00:13:26,600 Speaker 3: John Fetterman votes with this party. John Fetterman basically votes 235 00:13:26,640 --> 00:13:30,080 Speaker 3: with the hard left, not as much as say Bernie 236 00:13:30,120 --> 00:13:34,520 Speaker 3: Sanders does or Mazy Herono does. But he's sixteenth. He's 237 00:13:34,520 --> 00:13:36,440 Speaker 3: not even the center of the caucus. He's to the 238 00:13:36,520 --> 00:13:38,840 Speaker 3: left of the center of his own caucus. So you 239 00:13:38,880 --> 00:13:43,160 Speaker 3: have to ask yourself, why are they trying to Why 240 00:13:43,160 --> 00:13:45,160 Speaker 3: are they trying to get rid of him? It's certainly 241 00:13:45,200 --> 00:13:47,920 Speaker 3: not because of his voting record. It's because of his 242 00:13:48,920 --> 00:13:53,440 Speaker 3: moral strength and his moral positioning. They don't like it, 243 00:13:53,840 --> 00:13:55,719 Speaker 3: and they want to get rid of him so that 244 00:13:55,760 --> 00:13:59,000 Speaker 3: they get somebody in there who will let the radical 245 00:13:59,080 --> 00:14:01,760 Speaker 3: left do whatever radical up wants to do without shaming them. 246 00:14:01,960 --> 00:14:06,240 Speaker 3: And that's the only reason why Democrats in Pennsylvania would 247 00:14:06,320 --> 00:14:09,400 Speaker 3: want to get rid of Fetterman. He's basically doing exactly 248 00:14:09,440 --> 00:14:12,120 Speaker 3: what they elected him to do, to be a left 249 00:14:12,160 --> 00:14:14,360 Speaker 3: leaning senator from Pennsylvania. 250 00:14:13,800 --> 00:14:16,559 Speaker 2: And why on the national scene they will burn him 251 00:14:16,559 --> 00:14:20,520 Speaker 2: to the ground. We will see if Pennsylvanians see it differently. 252 00:14:20,560 --> 00:14:23,240 Speaker 2: I look forward to the Selena Zito kind of reporting 253 00:14:23,800 --> 00:14:27,359 Speaker 2: to see where a people in western Michigan, western Pennsylvania 254 00:14:27,400 --> 00:14:30,240 Speaker 2: are really at before I let you go at marcyhotair 255 00:14:30,320 --> 00:14:33,240 Speaker 2: dot com. I shared this yesterday. You wrote about this 256 00:14:33,360 --> 00:14:37,640 Speaker 2: yesterday Harry Enton talking about the shutdown and where Democrats 257 00:14:37,720 --> 00:14:41,480 Speaker 2: are heading into the midterms and anybody who thinks this 258 00:14:41,600 --> 00:14:45,240 Speaker 2: shutdown is playing into their hands. They're doing great, Schumer 259 00:14:45,320 --> 00:14:48,280 Speaker 2: saying where we're getting our position is getting stronger every day. 260 00:14:48,920 --> 00:14:51,040 Speaker 2: It isn't showing in the polling. It's not showing what 261 00:14:51,120 --> 00:14:51,920 Speaker 2: the people at. 262 00:14:53,120 --> 00:14:56,880 Speaker 3: No And I went looking past where Enton looks for polling. 263 00:14:56,920 --> 00:14:59,120 Speaker 3: I think he was looking at one specific poll which 264 00:14:59,160 --> 00:15:02,080 Speaker 3: shows that it has changed the generic ballot is still 265 00:15:02,120 --> 00:15:04,240 Speaker 3: D plus three, which is not good for Democrats, by 266 00:15:04,240 --> 00:15:06,240 Speaker 3: the way, they really need a D plus five at 267 00:15:06,320 --> 00:15:08,720 Speaker 3: least in order to gain seats. But I went and 268 00:15:08,760 --> 00:15:11,720 Speaker 3: looked at Real Clear Politics and actually it's a D one. 269 00:15:12,400 --> 00:15:15,160 Speaker 3: D plus one point nine is of yesterday the average, 270 00:15:15,200 --> 00:15:17,600 Speaker 3: which is not far off from where Entton's at, but 271 00:15:18,200 --> 00:15:22,560 Speaker 3: that actually has dropped in the last two weeks of 272 00:15:22,640 --> 00:15:25,480 Speaker 3: the shutdown. They went from D three point six to 273 00:15:25,560 --> 00:15:28,880 Speaker 3: D one point nine. There's a there's apparently been an 274 00:15:28,920 --> 00:15:31,680 Speaker 3: impact with the shutdown, but it's the exact opposite impact 275 00:15:31,680 --> 00:15:36,400 Speaker 3: that Democrats want. People are unhappy with the shutdown and 276 00:15:36,440 --> 00:15:38,920 Speaker 3: people are unhappy with the general direction. And those polls 277 00:15:38,920 --> 00:15:45,680 Speaker 3: basically reflect the political situation prior to Donald Trump getting 278 00:15:45,680 --> 00:15:49,200 Speaker 3: the hostages out of Gaza, and I suspect that those 279 00:15:49,240 --> 00:15:51,200 Speaker 3: polls are going to look a little bit different over 280 00:15:51,240 --> 00:15:52,840 Speaker 3: the next couple of weeks. That may not be a 281 00:15:52,920 --> 00:15:55,440 Speaker 3: lasting impact, defending on what else happens in the Middle East. 282 00:15:55,960 --> 00:15:59,240 Speaker 3: But Donald Trump came back to the US with a 283 00:15:59,280 --> 00:16:01,720 Speaker 3: lot more strength then he left it on the basis 284 00:16:01,720 --> 00:16:04,600 Speaker 3: of getting those hostages out. Can I think that after 285 00:16:04,680 --> 00:16:07,880 Speaker 3: this weekends, no Kings demonstration Chuck's gonna fold. 286 00:16:08,880 --> 00:16:12,400 Speaker 2: Let's find out atmarrisseyhotair dot com.
