They're they're citing a lack 77 00:04:02,240 --> 00:04:05,480 Speaker 1: of leadership, the fact that those eight Democrats caved on 78 00:04:05,520 --> 00:04:08,320 Speaker 1: the ACA subsidies in the shutdown at a time when 79 00:04:08,320 --> 00:04:12,560 Speaker 1: it would seem that the progressive politics, the progressive part 80 00:04:12,600 --> 00:04:15,160 Speaker 1: of the party had momentum. 81 00:04:15,360 --> 00:04:21,520 Speaker 3: They were were that wild? That was I genuinely I was. 82 00:04:21,600 --> 00:04:25,960 Speaker 2: I was at a dinner party, No big jo't just 83 00:04:26,040 --> 00:04:30,440 Speaker 2: flex for people.

Obviously, with 86 00:04:37,000 --> 00:04:41,279 Speaker 2: the like sweeping mandate of the midterm elections, exactly the 87 00:04:41,360 --> 00:04:44,680 Speaker 2: Democrats found the leverage to get to, you know, do 88 00:04:44,720 --> 00:04:47,640 Speaker 2: the right thing and to hear the details of it 89 00:04:47,720 --> 00:04:51,720 Speaker 2: being literally the exact opposite of what the fucking elections 90 00:04:51,760 --> 00:04:53,320 Speaker 2: should have met, Like listen. 91 00:04:53,400 --> 00:04:55,400 Speaker 3: You can also say it means nothing, But then. 92 00:04:55,279 --> 00:04:58,880 Speaker 2: Why were you waiting till after the election to clearly renegotiate. 93 00:05:00,080 --> 00:05:01,040 Speaker 3: Why would you cave? 94 00:05:02,600 --> 00:05:07,719 Speaker 1: They got scared. I think they experienced progressive politics, yes, yes, 95 00:05:07,880 --> 00:05:12,320 Speaker 1: for the power of progressive politics, and immediately went back 96 00:05:12,400 --> 00:05:16,960 Speaker 1: to like their old boring X. They were like, oh, 97 00:05:17,000 --> 00:05:19,560 Speaker 1: that's that's that's too much. I can't I can't live 98 00:05:19,680 --> 00:05:20,920 Speaker 1: like this, you know what I mean? 99 00:05:21,279 --> 00:05:21,520 Speaker 3: Yeah. 100 00:05:21,520 --> 00:05:25,440 Speaker 2: I think the thing that I think I probably trotted 101 00:05:25,480 --> 00:05:29,160 Speaker 2: this pov. Well, I probably initially have said things like 102 00:05:29,200 --> 00:05:31,920 Speaker 2: this on on my podcast, yos this racist, no big deal, 103 00:05:31,960 --> 00:05:34,080 Speaker 2: But I will say I probably said it to this 104 00:05:34,200 --> 00:05:37,560 Speaker 2: audience also, which is I think for years, I feel comfortable. 105 00:05:38,240 --> 00:05:39,520 Speaker 3: You know, check the archives. 106 00:05:40,400 --> 00:05:43,200 Speaker 2: The Democrats have just been a center right party our 107 00:05:43,360 --> 00:05:47,680 Speaker 2: entire lives, and we're moderately old. But like I think 108 00:05:47,720 --> 00:05:50,320 Speaker 2: no one's really wanted to say it, but like, yeah, 109 00:05:50,360 --> 00:05:53,560 Speaker 2: they're just right wing goons who want people not to 110 00:05:53,560 --> 00:05:55,240 Speaker 2: have healthcare in general. 111 00:05:55,760 --> 00:05:58,440 Speaker 3: Yeah, now they're they're totally on board with this. 112 00:05:59,000 --> 00:06:04,280 Speaker 1: They feel threat and when when progressive wins and there's 113 00:06:04,360 --> 00:06:08,599 Speaker 1: like some momentum and so they they went back and 114 00:06:08,720 --> 00:06:11,680 Speaker 1: just gave on all these all these things that the 115 00:06:11,720 --> 00:06:14,720 Speaker 1: shutdown was supposed to be about. Schumer himself didn't vote 116 00:06:14,720 --> 00:06:17,480 Speaker 1: to in the shutdown, but his leadership is being called 117 00:06:17,480 --> 00:06:21,880 Speaker 1: into question for the cave in happening under his watch. 118 00:06:23,040 --> 00:06:27,440 Speaker 1: Representative Rashida Clay said Senator Schumer has failed to meet 119 00:06:27,440 --> 00:06:29,800 Speaker 1: this moment and is out of touch with the American people. 120 00:06:29,800 --> 00:06:33,640 Speaker 1: So it's a lot of House members basically saying, this 121 00:06:33,640 --> 00:06:34,400 Speaker 1: guy sucks shit. 122 00:06:34,520 --> 00:06:36,240 Speaker 3: Let's let's wrap it up. 123 00:06:36,600 --> 00:06:39,320 Speaker 1: You know, this is a Pelosi announced her retirement at 124 00:06:39,320 --> 00:06:43,160 Speaker 1: the end of last week. Representative Jai Paul speculator Schumer 125 00:06:43,240 --> 00:06:46,640 Speaker 1: either can't control his caucus or gave his blessing, And 126 00:06:46,720 --> 00:06:49,080 Speaker 1: I mean there are no there's no other options. 127 00:06:49,480 --> 00:06:51,880 Speaker 3: Those are the two options. Definitely no other options. 128 00:06:52,040 --> 00:06:54,839 Speaker 2: I feel pretty comfortable with saying very clearly he gave 129 00:06:54,880 --> 00:06:55,440 Speaker 2: his blessing. 130 00:06:55,720 --> 00:06:58,520 Speaker 3: This is exactly what he wants and he's always wanted. 131 00:07:00,240 --> 00:07:02,920 Speaker 2: It does sort of like break into a question why 132 00:07:03,040 --> 00:07:05,560 Speaker 2: the government was shut down at all. If this is 133 00:07:05,600 --> 00:07:10,600 Speaker 2: clearly what exactly, yes, what happened, like just fucking then 134 00:07:10,640 --> 00:07:12,960 Speaker 2: who gives a shit? We know, you know, I guess 135 00:07:12,960 --> 00:07:15,360 Speaker 2: they needed to do the theater of oh, we're trying 136 00:07:15,400 --> 00:07:17,800 Speaker 2: to protect the ACA subsidies. 137 00:07:17,840 --> 00:07:21,040 Speaker 1: But surely yeah, I mean they've rendered it purely theater 138 00:07:21,120 --> 00:07:23,560 Speaker 1: at this point. Like I said, no Democratic senators have 139 00:07:23,600 --> 00:07:26,480 Speaker 1: publicly called for Chuck Schumer step down, but move On 140 00:07:27,120 --> 00:07:29,760 Speaker 1: pulled its members, which you gotta feel like this is 141 00:07:29,880 --> 00:07:33,920 Speaker 1: the Chuck Schumer stronghold right move on dot organ Isn't 142 00:07:33,960 --> 00:07:37,720 Speaker 1: that just like in twenty twenty five right move on 143 00:07:37,840 --> 00:07:42,520 Speaker 1: dog dot org. Uh and eight percent thought that Chuck 144 00:07:42,560 --> 00:07:46,360 Speaker 1: Schumer should step down of move On people, people who 145 00:07:46,360 --> 00:07:49,400 Speaker 1: are still with the move On organization. 146 00:07:49,040 --> 00:07:52,760 Speaker 2: And voluntarily clicking on polls right exactly. 147 00:07:52,800 --> 00:07:53,920 Speaker 3: I'll tell you what I think. 148 00:07:54,960 --> 00:07:57,560 Speaker 1: There's also this quote from Mark Kelly, because people are like, well, 149 00:07:57,680 --> 00:08:01,800 Speaker 1: somebody from the Senate might be willing to say something 150 00:08:02,360 --> 00:08:05,320 Speaker 1: brave or something something about how this guy fucked it up. 151 00:08:05,520 --> 00:08:07,240 Speaker 3: So they asked Mark Kelly. 152 00:08:07,400 --> 00:08:10,760 Speaker 1: Who everyone was, you know, kicking the tires on as 153 00:08:10,840 --> 00:08:13,840 Speaker 1: a potential VP before they went to the walls. So 154 00:08:13,880 --> 00:08:16,400 Speaker 1: he was asked, and I just want to read his 155 00:08:16,800 --> 00:08:21,440 Speaker 1: rambling response because I think I see the future Democratic 156 00:08:21,960 --> 00:08:27,360 Speaker 1: nominee for president in his ability to say absolutely nothing. 157 00:08:28,400 --> 00:08:31,280 Speaker 1: So they asked, you know, if he would support. 158 00:08:31,000 --> 00:08:31,840 Speaker 3: Schumer stepping down. 159 00:08:31,840 --> 00:08:33,840 Speaker 1: He said, so, Chris, again, we found ourselves in a 160 00:08:33,920 --> 00:08:37,400 Speaker 1: situation I don't think the Senate has found itself in before. 161 00:08:37,440 --> 00:08:41,480 Speaker 1: I think under any president, Democrat or Republican, they're going 162 00:08:41,559 --> 00:08:44,560 Speaker 1: to care about the American people's healthcare and care if 163 00:08:44,559 --> 00:08:46,360 Speaker 1: they're going to be able to put food on the 164 00:08:46,400 --> 00:08:48,360 Speaker 1: table and try to bring down costs, not to do 165 00:08:48,440 --> 00:08:51,760 Speaker 1: the opposite. So when I hear folks say things like that, 166 00:08:52,160 --> 00:08:55,559 Speaker 1: I understand their frustration, but I also hope they understand 167 00:08:55,559 --> 00:08:57,880 Speaker 1: that we all need to be on the same team here, 168 00:08:58,200 --> 00:09:00,680 Speaker 1: and what matters at this point is real storing these 169 00:09:00,720 --> 00:09:04,680 Speaker 1: tax credits. If we can do it in December, Oh 170 00:09:04,720 --> 00:09:07,560 Speaker 1: my god, that was the whole That was the thing, 171 00:09:07,760 --> 00:09:11,640 Speaker 1: the tax credit.

He also 500 00:26:46,760 --> 00:26:49,919 Speaker 1: objected to Ingram saying that Mega folk weren't happy, but 501 00:26:50,080 --> 00:26:53,000 Speaker 1: his explanation was not like, yeah, no, I've been seeing 502 00:26:53,040 --> 00:26:57,000 Speaker 1: polling that says there.
