00:00:08,520 --> 00:00:10,719
Speaker 1: time for the inside scoop with one of my favorite websites,

4
00:00:10,760 --> 00:00:12,840
Speaker 1: bright Bart b R E I T B A rt

5
00:00:13,039 --> 00:00:14,800
Speaker 1: dot com book mark. You'd be glad you did because

6
00:00:14,800 --> 00:00:17,079
Speaker 1: you get to read what Bradley Jay writes. Bradley J.

7
00:00:17,239 --> 00:00:20,440
Speaker 1: The politics editor breit Bart Look Front page News. Senate

8
00:00:20,520 --> 00:00:23,599
Speaker 1: passes funding bill to and Schumer shutdown, written by Oh

9
00:00:23,720 --> 00:00:25,680
Speaker 1: Bradley J. Bradley J. Welcome back to the fifty five

10
00:00:25,720 --> 00:00:27,520
Speaker 1: Carse Morning Show, my friend. Always a pleasure to have

11
00:00:27,560 --> 00:00:28,080
Speaker 1: you on the show.

12
00:00:29,240 --> 00:00:31,400
Speaker 2: I look for to Tuesday mornings at this time. Too

13
00:00:31,440 --> 00:00:32,120
Speaker 2: great to be with you.

14
00:00:32,280 --> 00:00:34,559
Speaker 1: That's nice to hear Bradley, and I do find your

15
00:00:34,600 --> 00:00:38,760
Speaker 1: site informative so real quickly I know they've agreed. I

16
00:00:38,760 --> 00:00:41,080
Speaker 1: guess minor concessions, if you can even call them that

17
00:00:41,920 --> 00:00:45,120
Speaker 1: rehiring the four thousand or so employees that were fired

18
00:00:45,200 --> 00:00:48,000
Speaker 1: during the shutdown, Might I interject, Bradley Jay, employees that

19
00:00:48,040 --> 00:00:50,440
Speaker 1: would not have been fired had there not been a shutdown.

20
00:00:51,320 --> 00:00:56,520
Speaker 1: They get their payback. No more firings. Three appropriations bills

21
00:00:56,520 --> 00:00:59,120
Speaker 1: going through, which I presume probably would have gone through anyway,

22
00:00:59,120 --> 00:01:02,080
Speaker 1: because they've alread gone through the sausage making process and

23
00:01:02,400 --> 00:01:06,960
Speaker 1: the government is opened. I guess through what January thirtieth.

24
00:01:08,319 --> 00:01:12,559
Speaker 2: That's right, yeah, January thirtieth. It's the build through the Senate.

25
00:01:12,600 --> 00:01:15,840
Speaker 2: Now the House is going to vote tomorrow night. Just

26
00:01:16,000 --> 00:01:22,680
Speaker 2: a total unconditional surrender from the Democrats. They got absolutely nothing.

27
00:01:23,200 --> 00:01:27,160
Speaker 2: The only concessions they got were to undo some of

28
00:01:27,200 --> 00:01:31,480
Speaker 2: the things that had happened during the shutdown they initiated

29
00:01:31,680 --> 00:01:35,280
Speaker 2: but wouldn't have happened otherwise, and a promise on a

30
00:01:35,360 --> 00:01:40,120
Speaker 2: vote that is doomed to failure. Just an absolute disaster

31
00:01:40,640 --> 00:01:43,760
Speaker 2: for Truck Schumer, who now has the moderates upset with

32
00:01:43,840 --> 00:01:46,920
Speaker 2: him over his strategy and the left upset with him

33
00:01:46,959 --> 00:01:47,360
Speaker 2: for Cavin.

34
00:01:47,440 --> 00:01:49,960
Speaker 1: All right, before we get to the Schumer future question,

35
00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:52,160
Speaker 1: which I have written down like I got to ask him, Bell,

36
00:01:52,160 --> 00:01:53,160
Speaker 1: what do you think is going to happen to the

37
00:01:53,160 --> 00:01:57,960
Speaker 1: schuck Schumer? You mentioned the unconditional surrender, and I have

38
00:01:58,040 --> 00:02:02,040
Speaker 1: to give although I dearly love respect and put him

39
00:02:02,120 --> 00:02:04,040
Speaker 1: up there as almost number one, if not number one,

40
00:02:04,080 --> 00:02:08,720
Speaker 1: of my favorite representatives. Thomas Massey, devout libertarian principles. He

41
00:02:08,840 --> 00:02:10,920
Speaker 1: is a strict constitutional as he is. He did not

42
00:02:11,200 --> 00:02:13,320
Speaker 1: like the vote for the CR because it was it

43
00:02:13,400 --> 00:02:16,200
Speaker 1: kept funding levels at twenty twenty four. That was Biden

44
00:02:16,280 --> 00:02:19,760
Speaker 1: level funding. That said, was it not a stroke of

45
00:02:19,760 --> 00:02:22,160
Speaker 1: political genius for the Republicans to do that taking the

46
00:02:22,160 --> 00:02:24,800
Speaker 1: wind out of any sales the Democrats might be trying

47
00:02:24,800 --> 00:02:30,040
Speaker 1: to get because of some maybe reduction. So this wasn't this,

48
00:02:30,280 --> 00:02:34,280
Speaker 1: you know. They they couldn't point to the supplements going away.

49
00:02:34,320 --> 00:02:36,440
Speaker 1: They're the ones that put the deadline for the supplements.

50
00:02:36,800 --> 00:02:39,960
Speaker 1: They couldn't point to the CR being oh my god, draconian.

51
00:02:40,000 --> 00:02:42,240
Speaker 1: Look how much gut cuts they made from government. It

52
00:02:42,280 --> 00:02:45,320
Speaker 1: was the Biden level funding levels. So they had nothing

53
00:02:45,400 --> 00:02:47,080
Speaker 1: to argue, Bradley.

54
00:02:48,480 --> 00:02:52,720
Speaker 2: They really did. And look, Democrats made this. These enhanced

55
00:02:52,720 --> 00:02:56,720
Speaker 2: Obamacare premium subsidies expire at the end of this year

56
00:02:57,000 --> 00:03:00,240
Speaker 2: for a good reason. It's a COVID era thing. We

57
00:03:00,280 --> 00:03:02,840
Speaker 2: know why they did it. We're finding out a little

58
00:03:02,840 --> 00:03:05,639
Speaker 2: bit more. Every every week is more and more trickles

59
00:03:05,639 --> 00:03:09,720
Speaker 2: out about Arctic fraud. They the Democrats thought that it

60
00:03:09,840 --> 00:03:13,080
Speaker 2: was just going to be a guarantee that Donald Trump

61
00:03:13,160 --> 00:03:15,360
Speaker 2: would never be back in office, that there would just

62
00:03:15,400 --> 00:03:20,799
Speaker 2: be a Democrat there for until Kingdom come. Thank god

63
00:03:20,840 --> 00:03:25,200
Speaker 2: that that's that's not the case. And look the thing

64
00:03:25,240 --> 00:03:28,840
Speaker 2: about this you had. Bernie Sanders said this in his

65
00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:31,160
Speaker 2: video that he posted out. I guess it was yesterday

66
00:03:31,240 --> 00:03:36,560
Speaker 2: the day before. Uh. He's criticizing his party for folding

67
00:03:37,320 --> 00:03:41,720
Speaker 2: and not getting anything he guarantees, only sending these subsidies.

68
00:03:41,920 --> 00:03:44,680
Speaker 2: But he said, we are already paying the highest prices

69
00:03:44,680 --> 00:03:47,600
Speaker 2: in the world for health care. So tell me, so,

70
00:03:47,640 --> 00:03:50,000
Speaker 2: tell me how these subsidies work. I mean, are you

71
00:03:50,080 --> 00:03:52,080
Speaker 2: kidding me? You're making our point for us.

72
00:03:52,080 --> 00:03:55,400
Speaker 1: Bernie Bradley j. You are right because Obamacare was merely

73
00:03:55,440 --> 00:03:57,800
Speaker 1: a vehicle designed to collapse under the weight of its

74
00:03:57,840 --> 00:04:00,360
Speaker 1: own pressure in order to bring about government funded health

75
00:04:00,360 --> 00:04:03,200
Speaker 1: care for all. And that's exactly what Obamacare effectively is.

76
00:04:03,240 --> 00:04:05,680
Speaker 1: Thank god, the Supreme Court said they could not make

77
00:04:05,800 --> 00:04:10,560
Speaker 1: us buy it through the commerce clause, but there it is. Nonetheless,

78
00:04:10,800 --> 00:04:13,120
Speaker 1: no one buys into it. It becomes the insurer of

79
00:04:13,240 --> 00:04:16,360
Speaker 1: last resort, meaning the claims pile up. People who are

80
00:04:16,480 --> 00:04:18,240
Speaker 1: very sick and get on Obamacare and have all their

81
00:04:18,240 --> 00:04:20,640
Speaker 1: claims paid. And then, of course the government has to

82
00:04:20,680 --> 00:04:25,320
Speaker 1: fake it being affordable by paying the insurance companies the premium.

83
00:04:25,839 --> 00:04:29,160
Speaker 1: The money's going directly the medical insurance carrier, so that

84
00:04:29,240 --> 00:04:32,080
Speaker 1: makes it look like it's free. And by getting rid

85
00:04:32,120 --> 00:04:34,960
Speaker 1: of the caps on those subsidies, anyone can join in,

86
00:04:35,000 --> 00:04:37,279
Speaker 1: and a lot of people did because financially speaking, it

87
00:04:37,360 --> 00:04:39,200
Speaker 1: might it did work out for a whole lot of people.

88
00:04:39,200 --> 00:04:42,200
Speaker 1: But now that those supplements are gone, most people are

89
00:04:42,240 --> 00:04:43,919
Speaker 1: going to go go back, have to go back to

90
00:04:43,920 --> 00:04:46,960
Speaker 1: the private sector to get their medical insurance, meaning bigger

91
00:04:46,960 --> 00:04:49,520
Speaker 1: and bigger weight is going to be loaded down on Obamacare.

92
00:04:49,600 --> 00:04:52,280
Speaker 1: It's designed to collapse brightly. At least that's my perspective.

93
00:04:52,320 --> 00:04:54,120
Speaker 1: Maybe you got a different one.

94
00:04:54,600 --> 00:04:57,320
Speaker 2: No, I think you're exactly right. And this is just

95
00:04:57,400 --> 00:05:01,680
Speaker 2: another example with the payment to the insuring companies of

96
00:05:01,839 --> 00:05:05,880
Speaker 2: how the party dynamics have shifted so much during the

97
00:05:05,960 --> 00:05:10,279
Speaker 2: last ten years. The Democrat Party is now the party

98
00:05:10,560 --> 00:05:14,240
Speaker 2: of the coastal elite. That's who they cater to. If

99
00:05:14,320 --> 00:05:17,200
Speaker 2: they've become the party a big business. It was something

100
00:05:17,200 --> 00:05:19,880
Speaker 2: that I wouldn't have thought was possible just over a

101
00:05:19,960 --> 00:05:24,279
Speaker 2: decade ago, but they have fully embraced it. As the

102
00:05:24,320 --> 00:05:28,080
Speaker 2: Republicans under Trump had brought in more and more blue

103
00:05:28,080 --> 00:05:31,880
Speaker 2: collar working American voters. There has just been a total shift,

104
00:05:31,920 --> 00:05:34,159
Speaker 2: and the Democrats can't argue otherwise. Now.

105
00:05:34,320 --> 00:05:36,360
Speaker 1: Well, the other argument that came out just the other

106
00:05:36,440 --> 00:05:39,640
Speaker 1: day may have motivated the Democrats to move forward with

107
00:05:39,720 --> 00:05:43,120
Speaker 1: this reopening of the government. Bradley, is the idea that

108
00:05:43,160 --> 00:05:45,760
Speaker 1: Trump threw out and others have thrown out. Why don't

109
00:05:45,800 --> 00:05:49,359
Speaker 1: these supplement dollars just go to the person themselves and

110
00:05:49,360 --> 00:05:51,839
Speaker 1: then they can use them like their medical savings accounts,

111
00:05:51,839 --> 00:05:55,320
Speaker 1: to apply to private sector medical insurance policies. And there

112
00:05:55,320 --> 00:05:58,200
Speaker 1: are hundreds of companies out there offering medical insurance. It

113
00:05:58,320 --> 00:05:59,919
Speaker 1: can be affordable if you know how to work in

114
00:06:00,080 --> 00:06:02,800
Speaker 1: more people would But it's like school choice. Let the

115
00:06:02,839 --> 00:06:05,080
Speaker 1: money follow the kid. Why does this money have to

116
00:06:05,120 --> 00:06:08,640
Speaker 1: go directly to the medical insurance companies whose stocks have

117
00:06:08,720 --> 00:06:09,520
Speaker 1: gone through the roof.

118
00:06:11,720 --> 00:06:15,080
Speaker 2: It sounds almost to me like you're proposing something that

119
00:06:15,160 --> 00:06:19,320
Speaker 2: might actually benefit the American people below in your healthcare

120
00:06:19,320 --> 00:06:23,040
Speaker 2: competition is not what Obamacare is about. It is not

121
00:06:23,240 --> 00:06:26,320
Speaker 2: at all, as you have said. It is all about

122
00:06:26,560 --> 00:06:31,520
Speaker 2: creating something that inevitably will fail and fail upward, as

123
00:06:31,560 --> 00:06:35,279
Speaker 2: you're a Democrat, into just more socialized socialized medicine.

124
00:06:35,320 --> 00:06:38,159
Speaker 1: Yeah, we've got to see us enter the one size

125
00:06:38,200 --> 00:06:41,520
Speaker 1: fits all new government program Medicaid for all. We're going

126
00:06:41,600 --> 00:06:44,039
Speaker 1: to save this. Because of Obamacare collapse, people are dying

127
00:06:44,080 --> 00:06:46,240
Speaker 1: in the streets. They can't get medical treatment. We need

128
00:06:46,279 --> 00:06:48,680
Speaker 1: a solution. That solution is going to come from government,

129
00:06:49,000 --> 00:06:52,320
Speaker 1: even though government solution led to the collapse that needs

130
00:06:52,360 --> 00:06:54,800
Speaker 1: to be saved. I mean, yeah, I mean, he can't

131
00:06:54,800 --> 00:06:55,320
Speaker 1: make this up.

132
00:06:55,360 --> 00:06:59,240
Speaker 2: Bradley, Well, right, I'll tell you one thing that Chuck

133
00:06:59,279 --> 00:07:02,440
Speaker 2: Schumer said on the floor before the vote last night.

134
00:07:02,760 --> 00:07:05,320
Speaker 2: He said, the American people have now are woken to

135
00:07:05,400 --> 00:07:08,880
Speaker 2: trump health care crisis. I think that the American people

136
00:07:09,279 --> 00:07:12,920
Speaker 2: have woken up to the crisis right now. I don't

137
00:07:12,920 --> 00:07:16,680
Speaker 2: think that they blamed Trump. This was such a loser

138
00:07:17,200 --> 00:07:20,640
Speaker 2: for Democrats, this shut down because the one issue that

139
00:07:20,880 --> 00:07:27,800
Speaker 2: Democrats wanted to force into the national conversation, this issue

140
00:07:27,800 --> 00:07:30,760
Speaker 2: is health care is such a loser for them. The

141
00:07:30,800 --> 00:07:34,520
Speaker 2: American people are examining it now. They're hearing Bertie Sanders

142
00:07:34,560 --> 00:07:37,480
Speaker 2: talk about how the American people have the most expensive

143
00:07:37,480 --> 00:07:40,360
Speaker 2: health care in the nation, and they're asking, what exactly

144
00:07:40,480 --> 00:07:43,280
Speaker 2: are we trying to save here? Why are Democrats trying

145
00:07:43,320 --> 00:07:48,760
Speaker 2: to prop up Obamacare. Yet again, this could be an

146
00:07:48,840 --> 00:07:53,200
Speaker 2: opportunity for Republicans to if they actually go on offense

147
00:07:53,280 --> 00:07:57,960
Speaker 2: and are aggressive, which Republicans are not generally inclined to do.

148
00:07:58,040 --> 00:07:59,600
Speaker 2: This would be a heavy lift for them and to

149
00:07:59,640 --> 00:08:04,080
Speaker 2: be at character. But if Republicans sees the moment, they

150
00:08:04,120 --> 00:08:08,760
Speaker 2: could actually do something not only that lowers healthcare prices

151
00:08:08,520 --> 00:08:13,760
Speaker 2: and availability for the American people, but might actually be

152
00:08:13,920 --> 00:08:15,920
Speaker 2: a winner at the ballot box.

153
00:08:15,960 --> 00:08:19,600
Speaker 1: Imagine that, no question about it. And some astute journalists wrote,

154
00:08:19,600 --> 00:08:21,800
Speaker 1: no one objective to the animous consent agreement to speed

155
00:08:21,840 --> 00:08:25,920
Speaker 1: the end of the shutdown. Reading from your article, do

156
00:08:26,000 --> 00:08:29,520
Speaker 1: you think that's because they realize that this there's no

157
00:08:29,600 --> 00:08:32,319
Speaker 1: reason to just end this pain that they brought about.

158
00:08:32,360 --> 00:08:34,200
Speaker 1: I mean, let's just get this thing through. We know

159
00:08:34,240 --> 00:08:36,920
Speaker 1: we're done, it's over, Let's get the government back open.

160
00:08:37,240 --> 00:08:40,440
Speaker 1: Is this an acknowledgment that perhaps they realize in this

161
00:08:40,480 --> 00:08:44,000
Speaker 1: whole who wins who loses political argument which is so childish,

162
00:08:44,320 --> 00:08:47,360
Speaker 1: that they are the losers indeed in the hearts and

163
00:08:47,400 --> 00:08:49,040
Speaker 1: minds of the American people on the shutdown.

164
00:08:50,679 --> 00:08:52,439
Speaker 2: Well, look, bron I worked on Capitol Hill for a

165
00:08:52,480 --> 00:08:55,800
Speaker 2: long time, and there was a saying that we used

166
00:08:55,840 --> 00:08:57,760
Speaker 2: here all the time, Bote, no hope.

167
00:08:57,840 --> 00:08:58,040
Speaker 1: Yes.

168
00:08:58,760 --> 00:09:02,120
Speaker 2: One thing that Senator came said during his press conference

169
00:09:02,160 --> 00:09:05,559
Speaker 2: this week announcing that he was caving is that there

170
00:09:05,559 --> 00:09:09,560
Speaker 2: were many more Democrat senators who wanted this to end,

171
00:09:09,960 --> 00:09:13,360
Speaker 2: but who would not vote for it because they didn't

172
00:09:13,400 --> 00:09:17,239
Speaker 2: have to. It's no accident that there were eight Democrats

173
00:09:17,240 --> 00:09:21,160
Speaker 2: who voted for this, and there were exactly eight Democrat

174
00:09:21,280 --> 00:09:25,520
Speaker 2: votes that were needed. And here's another point. None of

175
00:09:25,559 --> 00:09:28,360
Speaker 2: those eight are up for reelection this year. They're all

176
00:09:28,400 --> 00:09:32,319
Speaker 2: either retiring or they're up in twenty eight or thirty.

177
00:09:32,800 --> 00:09:35,920
Speaker 2: This is going to be the new listless test for Democrats.

178
00:09:36,200 --> 00:09:39,880
Speaker 2: It's politically toxic to have voted to end the shutdown.

179
00:09:40,240 --> 00:09:43,760
Speaker 2: It's another example of how just the radicals, the no king,

180
00:09:44,120 --> 00:09:49,560
Speaker 2: the resistant Democrats of the world have just fully fully

181
00:09:49,640 --> 00:09:51,720
Speaker 2: won over control of the Democrat Party.

182
00:09:51,840 --> 00:09:53,559
Speaker 1: Well, and that suggests the answer to the question was

183
00:09:53,600 --> 00:09:55,679
Speaker 1: going to ask you what does this mean for Chucky Schumer.

184
00:09:55,920 --> 00:09:59,960
Speaker 1: I note another line you pointed out the civil war

185
00:10:00,280 --> 00:10:03,280
Speaker 1: for the soul and direction of the party is just beginning.

186
00:10:03,360 --> 00:10:06,120
Speaker 1: Of course, you're writing about the Democrat Party. Does this

187
00:10:06,240 --> 00:10:08,720
Speaker 1: mean they've woken up and are going to start shifting

188
00:10:08,760 --> 00:10:11,880
Speaker 1: more toward the Oddly enough, Fetterman turned out to be

189
00:10:11,920 --> 00:10:14,559
Speaker 1: a normal kind of sounding human being as a Democrat.

190
00:10:14,679 --> 00:10:16,320
Speaker 1: Are they going to move toward Fetterman? Are they going

191
00:10:16,360 --> 00:10:17,360
Speaker 1: to move more toward AOC.

192
00:10:20,120 --> 00:10:22,160
Speaker 2: I think that the party has no choice but to

193
00:10:22,240 --> 00:10:28,720
Speaker 2: move towards the AOC type wing. Look. Part of the Senate,

194
00:10:28,800 --> 00:10:33,760
Speaker 2: even more so than the House, is insulated from the

195
00:10:34,320 --> 00:10:38,280
Speaker 2: political wins, and part of the job of a Senate

196
00:10:38,440 --> 00:10:42,200
Speaker 2: leader is to take those slings and arrows and to

197
00:10:42,320 --> 00:10:47,680
Speaker 2: be unpopular to protect his own members. The problem for

198
00:10:47,840 --> 00:10:51,559
Speaker 2: Schumer is that he himself is going to be in

199
00:10:51,679 --> 00:10:54,280
Speaker 2: danger at the ballot box. I think it's notable that

200
00:10:54,960 --> 00:10:57,760
Speaker 2: a reporter chased him down the other day and asked

201
00:10:57,840 --> 00:11:00,280
Speaker 2: him if he was going to run for reelection, and

202
00:11:00,360 --> 00:11:03,679
Speaker 2: he would not commit to it. I think that AOC

203
00:11:03,920 --> 00:11:06,680
Speaker 2: would be wise to run against him and not run

204
00:11:06,679 --> 00:11:09,120
Speaker 2: for president. Of course, I'm not out here looking to

205
00:11:09,120 --> 00:11:12,559
Speaker 2: give AOC any advice, but there's no doubt that Chuck

206
00:11:12,559 --> 00:11:17,400
Speaker 2: Schumer himself is in political peril right now, and a

207
00:11:17,480 --> 00:11:20,160
Speaker 2: lot of the members of his caucus feel like the

208
00:11:20,240 --> 00:11:23,520
Speaker 2: reason that he forced him into this shutdown was for

209
00:11:23,600 --> 00:11:25,680
Speaker 2: his own personal political benefit.

210
00:11:26,200 --> 00:11:31,400
Speaker 3: And if that that is something that I believe could

211
00:11:31,559 --> 00:11:35,840
Speaker 3: actually called some members of his own conference to start thinking, well,

212
00:11:35,920 --> 00:11:37,360
Speaker 3: maybe it's time for a change.

213
00:11:37,520 --> 00:11:40,719
Speaker 2: Not to mention how all these candidates for Senate, these

214
00:11:40,760 --> 00:11:43,480
Speaker 2: Democrat candidates around the nation are calling for him to

215
00:11:43,520 --> 00:11:46,520
Speaker 2: step down and pledging not to vote for him. He

216
00:11:46,600 --> 00:11:48,720
Speaker 2: could be in real trouble down the roads.

217
00:11:49,040 --> 00:11:52,319
Speaker 1: And I get that, and I can certainly understand California,

218
00:11:52,360 --> 00:11:57,520
Speaker 1: for example, sending an AOC leftist to replace Chucky Schumer.

219
00:11:57,559 --> 00:12:00,719
Speaker 1: But out here in the great unwashed man in state,

220
00:12:00,840 --> 00:12:03,680
Speaker 1: let's say, purple state states that are kind of closed,

221
00:12:03,679 --> 00:12:07,440
Speaker 1: sometimes Republicans, sometimes Democrat. Do you think that message is

222
00:12:07,480 --> 00:12:09,240
Speaker 1: going to carry the weight and win over the hearts

223
00:12:09,280 --> 00:12:12,360
Speaker 1: and minds of the American people, Because, honestly, Sir, I

224
00:12:12,400 --> 00:12:14,720
Speaker 1: hate living in a time or a socialist or an

225
00:12:14,760 --> 00:12:17,800
Speaker 1: out loud admitted communists can even get elected. But can

226
00:12:17,880 --> 00:12:21,600
Speaker 1: they get elected in states beyond New York and California

227
00:12:21,640 --> 00:12:23,800
Speaker 1: and some of the other batcrab crazy blue states.

228
00:12:23,800 --> 00:12:28,760
Speaker 2: Bradley, It's politically toxic and in a lot of ways,

229
00:12:29,320 --> 00:12:33,160
Speaker 2: Democrats are in a similar spot now as Republicans were

230
00:12:33,280 --> 00:12:37,240
Speaker 2: a decade ago. The longtime leaders of the party had

231
00:12:37,280 --> 00:12:40,840
Speaker 2: run the ship aground, and there was a battle for

232
00:12:41,080 --> 00:12:44,880
Speaker 2: what direction the party was going to go in as

233
00:12:45,120 --> 00:12:49,080
Speaker 2: specifically to Capitol Hill. Look, leadership isn't as important anymore.

234
00:12:49,480 --> 00:12:51,200
Speaker 2: You don't have as much a threat to members with

235
00:12:51,840 --> 00:12:56,840
Speaker 2: Congress doesn't legislate, so prime committee spots aren't as important.

236
00:12:57,520 --> 00:13:01,800
Speaker 2: Members can raise money elsewhere, They're not as dependent. They're

237
00:13:01,800 --> 00:13:04,480
Speaker 2: not as dependent on leadership bar jess or all these

238
00:13:04,520 --> 00:13:07,400
Speaker 2: campaign committees, and you can take your message directly to

239
00:13:07,400 --> 00:13:11,280
Speaker 2: the people with social media websites like brightbart and and

240
00:13:11,320 --> 00:13:13,920
Speaker 2: on and on. You're not dependent on the establishment media

241
00:13:13,960 --> 00:13:19,280
Speaker 2: that oftentimes these the establishment of these political parties controlled

242
00:13:19,960 --> 00:13:24,120
Speaker 2: The difference for Republicans vitween Republicans in and Democrats now

243
00:13:24,480 --> 00:13:28,320
Speaker 2: is Republicans had a savior waiting by the grace of

244
00:13:28,360 --> 00:13:31,560
Speaker 2: God named Donald Trump, who actually led the party in

245
00:13:31,640 --> 00:13:35,280
Speaker 2: the right direction that would actually expand the tent and

246
00:13:35,360 --> 00:13:39,880
Speaker 2: give Republicans an electoral future. Democrats don't have that, and

247
00:13:39,960 --> 00:13:42,440
Speaker 2: I think that the direction that their party is going

248
00:13:42,520 --> 00:13:47,040
Speaker 2: to take is one that has incredibly far to the

249
00:13:47,240 --> 00:13:52,199
Speaker 2: left and such a turn off for most independents, most moderates,

250
00:13:52,280 --> 00:13:55,880
Speaker 2: and won't do anything other than to generate excitement with

251
00:13:56,200 --> 00:14:00,840
Speaker 2: the furthest left of their party. That war is going

252
00:14:00,880 --> 00:14:03,920
Speaker 2: to be messy. I think that the party that wins

253
00:14:04,000 --> 00:14:06,680
Speaker 2: will be bad for the country. Hopefully it doesn't move

254
00:14:06,720 --> 00:14:10,360
Speaker 2: the over to window that way, but Republicans have a

255
00:14:10,360 --> 00:14:11,160
Speaker 2: real opportunity.

256
00:14:11,160 --> 00:14:13,520
Speaker 1: If they can seize it, they sure do. Politics editor

257
00:14:13,559 --> 00:14:16,680
Speaker 1: Bradley J. From Breitbart Breitbart dot com Real quick, since

258
00:14:16,679 --> 00:14:19,160
Speaker 1: I mentioned Massy before, he's got a discharge petition for

259
00:14:19,200 --> 00:14:22,160
Speaker 1: the Epstein files with the House out of recess that's

260
00:14:22,200 --> 00:14:23,680
Speaker 1: going to be brought up. What do you think.

261
00:14:26,280 --> 00:14:28,880
Speaker 2: I think that this has been out there for two longs.

262
00:14:29,000 --> 00:14:33,240
Speaker 2: The discharge petition isn't even gonna do that much. It's

263
00:14:33,320 --> 00:14:37,520
Speaker 2: limited in what it can compel the administration to do.

264
00:14:38,200 --> 00:14:40,480
