In preparation for the Morning Show. And 24 00:00:57,840 --> 00:00:59,400 Speaker 3: I don't know where you want to start, Bradley, but 25 00:00:59,520 --> 00:01:03,960 Speaker 3: let's start with the shutdown I my listening audience. Fortunately, 26 00:01:04,040 --> 00:01:06,399 Speaker 3: I am blessed, although it sometimes is a curse because 27 00:01:06,440 --> 00:01:09,840 Speaker 3: they keep me very accountable for accuracy. Bradley, I know 28 00:01:09,880 --> 00:01:11,880 Speaker 3: you know what it's like to work with weed dwellers. 29 00:01:12,680 --> 00:01:17,520 Speaker 3: But they know exactly what has has caused this shutdown. 30 00:01:17,560 --> 00:01:21,520 Speaker 3: But we can review very quickly. We have the Affordable 31 00:01:21,560 --> 00:01:25,000 Speaker 3: Care Act, which provided some tax credits for folks that 32 00:01:25,040 --> 00:01:27,720 Speaker 3: made three times or four times poverty was sixty one 33 00:01:28,120 --> 00:01:30,319 Speaker 3: four hundred, or roughly, if you make less than that, 34 00:01:30,400 --> 00:01:33,839 Speaker 3: you got your premium supplemented. Thanks to the original legislation, 35 00:01:34,040 --> 00:01:36,479 Speaker 3: COVID nineteen comes along. They get rid of the sixty 36 00:01:36,520 --> 00:01:39,679 Speaker 3: one four cap and give unlimited tax credit, which means 37 00:01:39,720 --> 00:01:42,160 Speaker 3: it appears that you're not even paying a premium for Obamacare, 38 00:01:42,200 --> 00:01:44,880 Speaker 3: even if you're making hundreds of thousands of dollars a year. 39 00:01:45,280 --> 00:01:47,920 Speaker 3: COVID disappears, but in some piece of legislation I think 40 00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:50,200 Speaker 3: was one of the Green Policies or whatever, they had 41 00:01:50,200 --> 00:01:52,120 Speaker 3: a cutoff date for this, right, it was the end 42 00:01:52,120 --> 00:01:56,760 Speaker 3: of this year. The COVID nineteen era supplements are going away. Why, well, 43 00:01:56,800 --> 00:01:59,280 Speaker 3: COVID's gone away, So that happens at the end of 44 00:01:59,320 --> 00:02:03,400 Speaker 3: this calendar year we're all prepping for and people saw 45 00:02:03,440 --> 00:02:06,440 Speaker 3: this coming million miles away. Low and behold the government. 46 00:02:06,760 --> 00:02:11,840 Speaker 3: Democrats want to continue these supplements, and the Republicans are saying, no, 47 00:02:12,320 --> 00:02:16,560 Speaker 3: what's the point here. We're going to pass a clean resolution. 48 00:02:16,680 --> 00:02:20,360 Speaker 3: The CR will be Biden era funding levels. Do you 49 00:02:20,400 --> 00:02:22,880 Speaker 3: have nothing to complain about while we busily work and 50 00:02:22,919 --> 00:02:25,080 Speaker 3: do the work we're supposed to do, which is the 51 00:02:25,080 --> 00:02:28,600 Speaker 3: twelve Entitlement or the twelve appropriations bills. So that's all 52 00:02:28,639 --> 00:02:31,320 Speaker 3: on hold because the government shut down and the Democrats 53 00:02:31,360 --> 00:02:33,920 Speaker 3: won't even agree to a funding level. That is ridiculous. 54 00:02:33,960 --> 00:02:36,520 Speaker 3: I mean, that was the point. Thomas Massey said, why 55 00:02:36,560 --> 00:02:39,280 Speaker 3: would we do a continuing resolution at Biden level funding? 56 00:02:39,320 --> 00:02:41,880 Speaker 3: We need to start cutting government. That was his point, 57 00:02:42,200 --> 00:02:44,280 Speaker 3: good point. But in order to take the wind out 58 00:02:44,280 --> 00:02:47,480 Speaker 3: of the democrats sales, they wouldn't vote for a CR 59 00:02:47,600 --> 00:02:50,520 Speaker 3: that had cuts in it. They gave them everything, the 60 00:02:50,520 --> 00:02:52,720 Speaker 3: moon and the stars, and they still won't vote for 61 00:02:52,760 --> 00:02:55,360 Speaker 3: it because they want these tax cutters to continue. I 62 00:02:55,360 --> 00:02:58,080 Speaker 3: guess forever. I mean, this is where we are Bradley 63 00:02:58,120 --> 00:03:00,280 Speaker 3: and all the pain that's being heaped down upon people 64 00:03:00,280 --> 00:03:02,600 Speaker 3: because the Democrats pretty much get what they want at 65 00:03:02,600 --> 00:03:05,600 Speaker 3: their prior funding levels. I'm not confused, am I. 66 00:03:08,480 --> 00:03:09,880 Speaker 2: Right? That's a pretty good rundown. 67 00:03:10,800 --> 00:03:14,679 Speaker 1: Look at you to ask Democrats before these enhanced subsidies 68 00:03:14,680 --> 00:03:17,200 Speaker 1: were passed, they would have told you that everything is 69 00:03:17,240 --> 00:03:21,280 Speaker 1: fine with Obamacare, it's going great, healthcare is chief. Of course, 70 00:03:21,280 --> 00:03:24,519 Speaker 1: they'd be lying out their teeth. They passed those enhanced 71 00:03:24,560 --> 00:03:28,600 Speaker 1: subsidies because they said, ah, COVID requires it. But now 72 00:03:28,680 --> 00:03:32,280 Speaker 1: they're acting like going back the pandemic's over, but they're 73 00:03:32,320 --> 00:03:37,320 Speaker 1: acting like going back to these pre COVID era restrictions 74 00:03:37,600 --> 00:03:41,640 Speaker 1: would just be ripping food out of the mouth of babes. 75 00:03:41,680 --> 00:03:45,839 Speaker 1: And it's just totally egregious. And look, you're exactly right. 76 00:03:45,880 --> 00:03:49,680 Speaker 1: They made this temporary. They did this without Republican votes. No, 77 00:03:49,840 --> 00:03:52,440 Speaker 1: they made it temporary because they said it was only 78 00:03:52,680 --> 00:03:56,480 Speaker 1: a COVID era thing. Why did they do that, Well, 79 00:03:56,520 --> 00:03:58,720 Speaker 1: I think one reason we're learning when they did that 80 00:03:58,880 --> 00:04:02,080 Speaker 1: is everything we're learning with arctic frost and how they 81 00:04:02,160 --> 00:04:04,720 Speaker 1: thought there was no chance at all that there would 82 00:04:04,760 --> 00:04:07,640 Speaker 1: be a Republican president and they would be able to 83 00:04:07,760 --> 00:04:11,680 Speaker 1: easily extend that because Obamacare is broken, it will always 84 00:04:11,680 --> 00:04:14,640 Speaker 1: be broken, and it's a broken model. They thought that 85 00:04:14,680 --> 00:04:18,080 Speaker 1: they would be able to just extend this forever. But look, 86 00:04:18,080 --> 00:04:23,840 Speaker 1: if this is the supplements the federal government that taxpayers 87 00:04:23,920 --> 00:04:27,400 Speaker 1: provide that go to these insurance companies, there's a lot 88 00:04:27,440 --> 00:04:31,080 Speaker 1: of evidence that these subsidies don't even result in lower 89 00:04:31,120 --> 00:04:35,760 Speaker 1: prices for healthcare consumers. It's just a giveaway to insurance companies. 90 00:04:36,040 --> 00:04:40,640 Speaker 1: The whole thing is broken, and Democrats know it. They're 91 00:04:40,760 --> 00:04:44,359 Speaker 1: using this and the shutdown as an excuse to try 92 00:04:44,400 --> 00:04:48,000 Speaker 1: to force a national conversation on an issue that they 93 00:04:48,040 --> 00:04:48,839 Speaker 1: think will be. 94 00:04:48,680 --> 00:04:50,960 Speaker 2: Beneficial to them electorally. 95 00:04:51,320 --> 00:04:54,520 Speaker 1: It's not about solving the problems because the way that 96 00:04:54,560 --> 00:04:58,839 Speaker 1: they've actually gone about this newt by partisan conversations to 97 00:04:58,960 --> 00:05:02,799 Speaker 1: actually address the problem. This is cynicism at its most 98 00:05:02,880 --> 00:05:04,320 Speaker 1: egregious from Democrats. 99 00:05:04,440 --> 00:05:06,839 Speaker 3: I can double down the cynicism. There's a handful of 100 00:05:06,839 --> 00:05:09,880 Speaker 3: Republican and Democrat representatives described as a bipart as an 101 00:05:09,880 --> 00:05:11,960 Speaker 3: effort to come up with a potential compromise. I guess 102 00:05:12,000 --> 00:05:15,640 Speaker 3: some Republicans in the House are actually working. But Representative Bacon, 103 00:05:16,120 --> 00:05:20,720 Speaker 3: Suzi Hurd and Gothheimer came out with this potential compromise, 104 00:05:20,760 --> 00:05:23,480 Speaker 3: and I'll fast forward to this statement quote. But here's 105 00:05:23,520 --> 00:05:26,039 Speaker 3: the truth. Democrats and Republicans can sit down, listen to 106 00:05:26,080 --> 00:05:30,360 Speaker 3: one another, and find common ground operative words here, especially 107 00:05:30,520 --> 00:05:33,760 Speaker 3: when it comes to lowering healthcare costs. I literally laughed 108 00:05:33,760 --> 00:05:36,560 Speaker 3: out loud about this. This doesn't lower healthcare costs, It 109 00:05:36,680 --> 00:05:39,680 Speaker 3: just masks them by offloading it to the American taxpayer 110 00:05:39,760 --> 00:05:42,200 Speaker 3: in the form of, well, we're all paying the premiums 111 00:05:42,200 --> 00:05:45,320 Speaker 3: that are going to these big insurance companies. There is 112 00:05:45,360 --> 00:05:47,799 Speaker 3: no lowering of healthcare. It's just that we have taken 113 00:05:47,800 --> 00:05:50,440 Speaker 3: away your optical vision of having to pay for it 114 00:05:50,560 --> 00:05:53,040 Speaker 3: somebody else, meaning your neighbor or you, if you're a taxpayer, 115 00:05:53,120 --> 00:05:56,320 Speaker 3: are paying it through another vehicle, the tax code. 116 00:05:57,400 --> 00:06:02,040 Speaker 1: You're exactly right, and at least I hate to pick 117 00:06:02,080 --> 00:06:05,040 Speaker 1: on anybody, but I love to pick on people. Don 118 00:06:05,120 --> 00:06:08,400 Speaker 1: Bacon is one of just I mean, he's a total 119 00:06:08,520 --> 00:06:12,680 Speaker 1: moderate squish, which moderate you know that that's just another 120 00:06:12,960 --> 00:06:16,560 Speaker 1: term for a lacking conviction. All he wants to do 121 00:06:16,839 --> 00:06:21,800 Speaker 1: is pitch this is some type of legacy to continue 122 00:06:21,839 --> 00:06:25,359 Speaker 1: his projection that he's somehow above his house. 123 00:06:25,400 --> 00:06:27,680 Speaker 2: Republican colleagues. He's retiring. 124 00:06:27,800 --> 00:06:30,960 Speaker 1: This is not a serious proposal for him, and this 125 00:06:31,040 --> 00:06:34,920 Speaker 1: is not a serious solution to fixing the problems that 126 00:06:34,960 --> 00:06:35,320 Speaker 1: we have. 127 00:06:36,279 --> 00:06:38,600 Speaker 3: No, it's not. And then the other one, laugh if 128 00:06:38,640 --> 00:06:42,400 Speaker 3: you will, because I did phased out income tax income 129 00:06:42,480 --> 00:06:46,240 Speaker 3: cap for those making between are you ready? Bradley Enhanced 130 00:06:46,240 --> 00:06:48,640 Speaker 3: premium tax credits would be phased out for those making 131 00:06:48,680 --> 00:06:51,640 Speaker 3: between two hundred and four hundred thousand dollars the year 132 00:06:51,720 --> 00:06:54,680 Speaker 3: under this compromise proposal. Since when do people making four 133 00:06:54,720 --> 00:06:57,640 Speaker 3: hundred thousand dollars a year need a handout from government? 134 00:07:00,000 --> 00:07:00,560 Speaker 2: Well, I'll tell you. 135 00:07:00,600 --> 00:07:05,680 Speaker 1: The Democrat Party is now unquestionably the party of the elites. 136 00:07:06,080 --> 00:07:10,000 Speaker 1: They're fighting right now, not for working people, because they're 137 00:07:10,040 --> 00:07:13,119 Speaker 1: actually shutting down the government and keeping people on food 138 00:07:13,200 --> 00:07:17,520 Speaker 1: stamps from getting fed. They are fighting for insurance companies 139 00:07:17,760 --> 00:07:20,880 Speaker 1: and for people making over four hundred thousand dollars a year. 140 00:07:21,200 --> 00:07:24,200 Speaker 1: That is who the modern Democrat Party is. That is 141 00:07:24,240 --> 00:07:26,920 Speaker 1: who they become. Is no longer the party of blue 142 00:07:26,920 --> 00:07:31,200 Speaker 1: collar working Americans. Trump and MAGA have taken that mantle. 143 00:07:31,520 --> 00:07:34,960 Speaker 1: And I don't know as long as Republicans continue fighting 144 00:07:35,040 --> 00:07:38,200 Speaker 1: the right fights, they can keep those voters forever. But 145 00:07:38,360 --> 00:07:42,120 Speaker 1: this is who democrats are. They are coastal elites who 146 00:07:42,160 --> 00:07:43,920 Speaker 1: are fighting for the donor class. 147 00:07:44,600 --> 00:07:47,240 Speaker 3: Well, let's pivot over to elections. Brad Lee Jay got 148 00:07:47,240 --> 00:07:48,840 Speaker 3: some big ones going out there. One of the most 149 00:07:48,880 --> 00:07:51,560 Speaker 3: perplexing from my standpoint, although it is New York City, 150 00:07:51,600 --> 00:07:55,840 Speaker 3: this communist I'll call them, you know, democrats. Socialists is 151 00:07:55,880 --> 00:08:00,880 Speaker 3: the working phrase for modern day immunis. But in any ways, 152 00:08:00,920 --> 00:08:04,040 Speaker 3: Zorhan Mamdami, it's like everybody's predetermined he's going to be 153 00:08:04,080 --> 00:08:07,600 Speaker 3: the winner. His policies are, in my estimation, absolutely crazy. 154 00:08:07,640 --> 00:08:10,080 Speaker 3: But that so many New Yorkers could be duped by 155 00:08:10,600 --> 00:08:13,640 Speaker 3: what is going to result in an economic collapse for 156 00:08:13,720 --> 00:08:15,920 Speaker 3: New York City. I mean, there's only so much you 157 00:08:15,960 --> 00:08:17,880 Speaker 3: can extract out of the rich people. For the rich 158 00:08:17,920 --> 00:08:20,760 Speaker 3: people pack it up and leave, which, judging from the 159 00:08:20,800 --> 00:08:23,040 Speaker 3: real estate activity outside of the City of New York, 160 00:08:23,120 --> 00:08:25,440 Speaker 3: like in Connecticut, they're getting ready to leave. 161 00:08:28,280 --> 00:08:30,160 Speaker 1: Well, look what we're seeing in New York is the 162 00:08:30,320 --> 00:08:34,040 Speaker 1: inevitable consequence of our immigration policies. 163 00:08:34,320 --> 00:08:35,360 Speaker 2: If you remove the. 164 00:08:35,400 --> 00:08:40,520 Speaker 1: Foreign born from the polls, Mamdani does not win. That's 165 00:08:41,120 --> 00:08:44,000 Speaker 1: a certainty at this fact, and it's not as overt 166 00:08:44,600 --> 00:08:47,680 Speaker 1: but our immigration policies are the reason that we're seeing 167 00:08:47,800 --> 00:08:51,559 Speaker 1: a lot of the polling and probable electoral. 168 00:08:51,120 --> 00:08:54,040 Speaker 2: Results in the off year elections right now. 169 00:08:54,440 --> 00:08:59,400 Speaker 1: Look, we have imported people in such large, large quantities 170 00:08:59,520 --> 00:09:03,040 Speaker 1: that there is no assimilation, there's no sense of community. 171 00:09:03,240 --> 00:09:06,199 Speaker 1: These people are not real New Yorkers in the sense 172 00:09:06,240 --> 00:09:11,080 Speaker 1: of they cherish the heritage and traditions of what was 173 00:09:11,120 --> 00:09:15,640 Speaker 1: once a great city, and their votes reflect that it's 174 00:09:15,679 --> 00:09:19,480 Speaker 1: gonna be a dark day in New York City. But look, 175 00:09:19,520 --> 00:09:21,599 Speaker 1: Mam Donnie, he is going to be hung around the 176 00:09:21,679 --> 00:09:25,160 Speaker 1: neck of every single Democrat who is running in the 177 00:09:25,200 --> 00:09:26,400 Speaker 1: midterms next year. 178 00:09:26,640 --> 00:09:27,800 Speaker 2: In a lot of ways, this. 179 00:09:27,800 --> 00:09:32,480 Speaker 1: Election will be historic because it closes the book. It's 180 00:09:32,480 --> 00:09:34,559 Speaker 1: the end of, or at the very least an end 181 00:09:34,559 --> 00:09:38,240 Speaker 1: of a chapter on the Democrat Party of yesteryear. We 182 00:09:38,280 --> 00:09:42,160 Speaker 1: are seeing a new Democrat Party where Mam Donnie is 183 00:09:42,200 --> 00:09:47,560 Speaker 1: the standard bear, unquestionably embracing socialism. This isn't like Obama 184 00:09:47,640 --> 00:09:51,400 Speaker 1: where they kind of dance around it. They gleefully brag 185 00:09:51,480 --> 00:09:54,160 Speaker 1: about it right now, and I think that it will 186 00:09:54,160 --> 00:09:57,880 Speaker 1: be a turning point in the history of this nation politically, 187 00:09:58,200 --> 00:10:00,960 Speaker 1: and it will forever alter the two party. 188 00:10:00,679 --> 00:10:04,400 Speaker 3: System now to the extent he does win, and let's 189 00:10:04,440 --> 00:10:07,440 Speaker 3: call it a foregone conclusion. Are the Democrats going to 190 00:10:07,480 --> 00:10:10,800 Speaker 3: take that as a justification for a further shift to 191 00:10:10,800 --> 00:10:13,800 Speaker 3: the left, so you have say so called centrist or 192 00:10:13,800 --> 00:10:17,880 Speaker 3: maybe even rational Democrats end up moving over embracing this 193 00:10:18,000 --> 00:10:20,080 Speaker 3: left wing chunk of the party. Or will they wake 194 00:10:20,160 --> 00:10:22,320 Speaker 3: up and say, you know, Mandammie's going to be so bad, 195 00:10:22,360 --> 00:10:25,800 Speaker 3: we need to regroup and reject that as a concept 196 00:10:25,800 --> 00:10:28,360 Speaker 3: for the sake of saving our party from itself. I mean, 197 00:10:28,600 --> 00:10:30,320 Speaker 3: I guess it could go either way, couldn't it. 198 00:10:32,600 --> 00:10:34,720 Speaker 2: Brian, I think it's going to rip the party apart. 199 00:10:35,520 --> 00:10:39,959 Speaker 1: You see people like Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries, who 200 00:10:40,360 --> 00:10:42,840 Speaker 1: ostensibly are the leaders of the Democrat Party, you know, 201 00:10:42,880 --> 00:10:46,440 Speaker 1: the top Democrat in the House, in the Senate, they 202 00:10:46,520 --> 00:10:50,840 Speaker 1: are running so far away from Mamdanni because they know 203 00:10:51,000 --> 00:10:54,520 Speaker 1: that this whole ruin their chances of ever becoming the 204 00:10:54,600 --> 00:10:59,880 Speaker 1: majority leaders or the speaker in their respective chambers. This 205 00:11:00,000 --> 00:11:04,359 Speaker 1: this is not at least right now with our immigration policies. 206 00:11:04,520 --> 00:11:07,800 Speaker 1: God forbid, it doesn't. But one day it might become mainstream. 207 00:11:08,120 --> 00:11:13,720 Speaker 1: But this is not a platform that can win majorities nationwide. 208 00:11:13,840 --> 00:11:15,480 Speaker 2: It's cancer in a lot of. 209 00:11:15,440 --> 00:11:19,240 Speaker 1: These swing districts throughout the country, in a lot of 210 00:11:19,280 --> 00:11:24,080 Speaker 1: these states that are purplish, and most Democrats know that 211 00:11:24,800 --> 00:11:28,640 Speaker 1: some will cynically embrace it, because let's be honest, a 212 00:11:28,640 --> 00:11:31,880 Speaker 1: lot of politicians don't really have convictions. Their convictions or 213 00:11:31,920 --> 00:11:34,679 Speaker 1: whatever keep them in power. But I think that some 214 00:11:34,720 --> 00:11:39,080 Speaker 1: of the savvier Democrats know that this is not something 215 00:11:40,200 --> 00:11:41,560 Speaker 1: that they can lead a ticket. 216 00:11:41,679 --> 00:11:43,559 Speaker 3: Well, you mentioned Schumor in the context of him not 217 00:11:43,600 --> 00:11:46,920 Speaker 3: embracing Momdami say. I mean, he's obviously a smart politician. 218 00:11:47,000 --> 00:11:49,520 Speaker 3: He knows that that's toxic and bad ultimately, at least 219 00:11:49,520 --> 00:11:51,480 Speaker 3: we perceive it that way, like you said, And yet 220 00:11:51,559 --> 00:11:54,320 Speaker 3: he doesn't stand up to the aocs within his own 221 00:11:54,320 --> 00:11:56,760 Speaker 3: party when he has an opportunity to do so. I mean, 222 00:11:57,840 --> 00:12:01,280 Speaker 3: I'm just looking at them from a person of the ideology, 223 00:12:01,320 --> 00:12:04,439 Speaker 3: and I cannot imagine that a majority of Democrats think 224 00:12:04,480 --> 00:12:07,000 Speaker 3: along the way that AOC does. And so why wouldn't 225 00:12:07,040 --> 00:12:11,160 Speaker 3: Schumer stop them in their tracks and assert his power 226 00:12:11,160 --> 00:12:13,920 Speaker 3: and influence over them and his and project his voice 227 00:12:13,960 --> 00:12:16,079 Speaker 3: to the rest of the Democrats. Hey, we've got to 228 00:12:16,080 --> 00:12:17,920 Speaker 3: get our act together. And they're not the way we 229 00:12:17,960 --> 00:12:18,400 Speaker 3: can go. 230 00:12:21,360 --> 00:12:27,199 Speaker 1: The reason is that Schumer is the Senate Democrat leader nominally, 231 00:12:27,640 --> 00:12:32,280 Speaker 1: but he holds a very tenuous grasp over his conference. Look, 232 00:12:32,480 --> 00:12:38,680 Speaker 1: Senate leaders always have a limited ability to actually enforce 233 00:12:38,800 --> 00:12:43,280 Speaker 1: anything with their leader, with their membership. Trent Lott used 234 00:12:43,320 --> 00:12:45,880 Speaker 1: to say that being the Senate majority leader was like 235 00:12:46,240 --> 00:12:49,120 Speaker 1: pushing a wheelbarrow with one hundred frogs, and every time 236 00:12:49,160 --> 00:12:52,080 Speaker 1: you grab one and throw it back in, three others 237 00:12:52,160 --> 00:12:54,600 Speaker 1: jump out. That's just the way that the Senate works. 238 00:12:55,600 --> 00:12:59,880 Speaker 1: But look, a he is a dinosaur. He is an 239 00:13:00,040 --> 00:13:04,160 Speaker 1: anachronism in the modern Senate, certainly in the Democrat Party 240 00:13:04,240 --> 00:13:09,960 Speaker 1: right now. He has changed and evolved markedly over the years. 241 00:13:10,000 --> 00:13:12,080 Speaker 1: I mean he used to bang bang his fist on 242 00:13:12,120 --> 00:13:14,440 Speaker 1: the table and say we need a wall and we 243 00:13:14,559 --> 00:13:17,720 Speaker 1: have to defend Wall Street, and I mean he's just 244 00:13:17,760 --> 00:13:21,719 Speaker 1: a completely different animal now, just out of political pragmatism. 245 00:13:22,320 --> 00:13:25,600 Speaker 1: But there is there are no Democrats coming up right 246 00:13:25,640 --> 00:13:29,440 Speaker 1: now through the Democrat politician pipeline. There are no voters 247 00:13:29,520 --> 00:13:32,240 Speaker 1: out there, at least not in the ascendant wings of 248 00:13:32,280 --> 00:13:34,560 Speaker 1: the Democrat Party who are saying, you know what, we 249 00:13:34,720 --> 00:13:36,320 Speaker 1: need more Chuck Schumer's out. 250 00:13:36,160 --> 00:13:39,800 Speaker 2: There it's a question now, not of if. 251 00:13:39,720 --> 00:13:43,920 Speaker 1: But of when he is deposed as leader of the 252 00:13:43,960 --> 00:13:47,160 Speaker 1: Senate Democrats. That's just the direction that things are going 253 00:13:47,200 --> 00:13:49,880 Speaker 1: in the Democrat Party, and they're in very dire straits. 254 00:13:50,160 --> 00:13:52,920 Speaker 3: Right part politics outor Bradley Jay real quick. New Jersey 255 00:13:53,000 --> 00:13:55,760 Speaker 3: Virginia two goodnatorial races, and the Republicans are making a 256 00:13:55,800 --> 00:13:57,680 Speaker 3: stronger showing towards the end though, But we are talking 257 00:13:57,679 --> 00:13:59,439 Speaker 3: about New Jersey and Virginia. If you had to read 258 00:13:59,440 --> 00:14:01,959 Speaker 3: Tea les, how are those two races going to work out? 259 00:14:02,000 --> 00:14:06,760 Speaker 1: Bradley In New Jersey, Republican Jack Chiarelli is peaking at 260 00:14:06,760 --> 00:14:09,400 Speaker 1: the exact right time. I think he has an excellent 261 00:14:09,520 --> 00:14:12,880 Speaker 1: chance at an upset right now. Virginia is gonna. 262 00:14:12,640 --> 00:14:17,280 Speaker 2: Be a little tougher road to hoe. I think that the. 263 00:14:16,640 --> 00:14:20,920 Speaker 1: Republican candidate Jason Miarez will win the AG's race because 264 00:14:20,920 --> 00:14:22,920 Speaker 1: of all that controversy with Jay Jones, It's going to 265 00:14:23,000 --> 00:14:24,840 Speaker 1: be a little bit more difficult. 266 00:14:24,760 --> 00:14:28,000 Speaker 3: Hire up the ticket. Bradley Jay, always a pleasure talking 267 00:14:28,040 --> 00:14:31,480 Speaker 3: with you, and it's votes count and voter turnout I 268 00:14:31,520 --> 00:14:34,440 Speaker 3: think will determine the outcome of these elections substantially. It's 269 00:14:34,440 --> 00:14:35,800 Speaker 3: been great having you on the show. Keep up the 270 00:14:35,840 --> 00:14:37,600 Speaker 3: great work at breit Bart, Bradley.
