The Democratic Party of old has been 'eliminated' - Jason Chaffetz · DEEP INSIGHT

• 0:00
  Speaker 1: My genuine hope was that the lesson the Democrats learned
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: from the twenty twenty four election is maybe we should
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: stop being so crazy. And unfortunately, the lesson that Democrats
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: seem to have learned from the twenty twenty four election
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: is to lean into the most radical fringes of their party.
• 0:18
  Speaker 2: That's Vice President Vance with a warning about where the
• 0:20
  Speaker 2: Democratic Party is moving. A new wave of socialists and
• 0:24
  Speaker 2: progressive candidates has been scoring key primary wins across the country.
• 0:29
  Speaker 2: As Brian Yenis was just telling us, debate is growing
• 0:32
  Speaker 2: over what that means for moderate Democrats. Let's bring in
• 0:36
  Speaker 2: Jason Chase, Let's Fox News contributor and former Republican Utah congressman. Congressman,
• 0:42
  Speaker 2: thanks for being with us. When you look out there
• 0:45
  Speaker 2: at the landscape of who's running, I mean, Utah is
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: not likely to elect a Democratic socialist anytime soon, but
• 0:52
  Speaker 2: it seems like a lot of states are ready to
• 0:54
  Speaker 2: do that.
• 0:55
  Speaker 3: Why, oh, you'd be surprised. They jerry mannered this district
• 1:00
  Speaker 3: in Utah, and there's a chance that on the primary
• 1:04
  Speaker 3: next week that they're going to elect somebody who's pretty radical.
• 1:07
  Speaker 3: Look the Democratic Party of old, the old Blue dog Democrats.
• 1:11
  Speaker 3: They're gone. They've been eliminated. Bernie Sanders, who was sort
• 1:16
  Speaker 3: of almost a joke when I was in Congress years ago,
• 1:19
  Speaker 3: is leading this party, and he's got a radical view
• 1:22
  Speaker 3: of America. They want to destroy and get dismantled the police.
• 1:28
  Speaker 3: They want to open up our borders, and they want
• 1:30
  Speaker 3: to give everything away for free. And so there's no
• 1:34
  Speaker 3: responsibility in that party. It's just gimme, gimme, gimme, and
• 1:38
  Speaker 3: they all believe that they need to raise taxes and
• 1:40
  Speaker 3: spend more money. That's what they believe in. And it's
• 1:43
  Speaker 3: working in some of these radical left wing cities, but
• 1:48
  Speaker 3: it's trying to spread a coast to coast, and the
• 1:51
  Speaker 3: mainstream Democrats of old, they don't stand up, they don't
• 1:54
  Speaker 3: have a message.
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: Talking about left wing cities, Nicholas Berg has the unenviable
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: job of being the chairman of the GOP in San Francisco.
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: He talks about why he thinks socialism is on the
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: rise in this country.
• 2:09
  Speaker 4: Listen, I think the young people are falling for this,
• 2:14
  Speaker 4: if you will, because we sold them a lie, and
• 2:17
  Speaker 4: the lie was if you go to college and you
• 2:20
  Speaker 4: rack up this huge amount of debt, you're going to
• 2:23
  Speaker 4: be able to have the American dream. You're going to
• 2:24
  Speaker 4: be able to buy a house and have a family
• 2:27
  Speaker 4: and you know, not live paycheck to paycheck, and that
• 2:31
  Speaker 4: turned out to not be true.
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: What do you think about that analysis? I mean, there
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: are a lot of people who graduated from college with
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: degrees that really don't help them a lot in this
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: modern world.
• 2:43
  Speaker 3: I think that's part of it. I think what Nicholas
• 2:45
  Speaker 3: Berg said it makes some sense here. Look, a big
• 2:50
  Speaker 3: question for America is how do we live in an
• 2:53
  Speaker 3: affordable an affordable world. And far too much of our
• 2:57
  Speaker 3: education over the last couple decades it's now coming home
• 3:01
  Speaker 3: to roost. And there are people out there that don't
• 3:03
  Speaker 3: have the skill sets in order to make them productive
• 3:07
  Speaker 3: in today's society. And so you had some massive government
• 3:11
  Speaker 3: spending by Obama and Biden that made inflation rampant, and
• 3:16
  Speaker 3: it consequently made it very difficult to actually do something.
• 3:20
  Speaker 3: But the bottom line here, John is Democrats, Hey, everything's free.
• 3:26
  Speaker 3: Everybody should just get the instantaneous gratification that you get
• 3:29
  Speaker 3: on Instagram, and that is just have it now. You
• 3:32
  Speaker 3: don't really have to work. In fact, you have to
• 3:34
  Speaker 3: work less. That is not the way the world works,
• 3:38
  Speaker 3: and the Democrats don't have a plan, and Republicans actually
• 3:42
  Speaker 3: do have a plan. So the craziness of the left
• 3:44
  Speaker 3: versus somebody who can actually build something, that's what I
• 3:48
  Speaker 3: think we're going to see a play out in the midterms.
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: I want to change the topic a little bit and
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: talk about what's going on in the Senate with the
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: Save America Act. First, a poll from Fox News twenty
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: twenty five September asked whether you should be required to
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: show ID in order to vote. All voters eighty four
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: percent said yes, Republicans ninety six percent, Even seventy percent
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: of Democrats said you should be required to show a
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: state or federal ID to be able to vote. Why
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: is the Senate having so much trouble approving an idea
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: like this.
• 4:29
  Speaker 3: Now? Because the Democrats, Chuck Schumer and others, they need
• 4:32
  Speaker 3: people that are here in this country illegally to be
• 4:34
  Speaker 3: able to vote. It's about being able to cheat and
• 4:37
  Speaker 3: be able to get people who are not full citizens
• 4:41
  Speaker 3: to actually vote. Democrats have even taken the position in
• 4:44
  Speaker 3: places like California, you don't even need to be a
• 4:46
  Speaker 3: citizen to actually be on the ballot. In certain races.
• 4:50
  Speaker 3: They want them to be law enforcement officials. And these
• 4:52
  Speaker 3: are people that are here legally. So the craziness of
• 4:56
  Speaker 3: the left. I think it's all about the integrity of
• 4:58
  Speaker 3: the vote. There's a lot of dis discussion about vote
• 5:01
  Speaker 3: by mail and other issues. It's about the integrity of
• 5:04
  Speaker 3: the vote. Every other nation on the planet requires ID
• 5:08
  Speaker 3: except the United States. You have to get it to
• 5:11
  Speaker 3: if you have a National Parks pass. I tried to
• 5:13
  Speaker 3: go to Zion National Park. I had to show my
• 5:16
  Speaker 3: driver's license, my valid driver's license to prove that I
• 5:20
  Speaker 3: actually had a National Parks Pass to get into Zion's
• 5:23
  Speaker 3: National Park. That's how. But no Democrats, Oh, you shouldn't
• 5:27
  Speaker 3: have to have a voter ID. Are you kid me?
• 5:30
  Speaker 3: That's going to suppress the vote. It's a lie and
• 5:34
  Speaker 3: a Save America Act. I'm with Mike Lee on this one.
• 5:36
  Speaker 3: He is absolutely right.
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: All right, let's play that from Mike Lee what he
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: told Shannon Breen this morning on Fox News Sunday.
• 5:44
  Speaker 5: Listen, the truth is, we haven't tried what I believe.
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: It takes to get the Save.
• 5:49
  Speaker 3: America Act passed, which is to put it.
• 5:51
  Speaker 5: On the floor and to say we're going to debate.
• 5:53
  Speaker 3: This four weeks.
• 5:54
  Speaker 5: Nothing sharpens the mind, nothing hastiens agreement. Nothing will bring
• 5:59
  Speaker 5: about face saving and perfecting amendments quite like the obligation
• 6:04
  Speaker 5: to stay in and debate something that is popular with
• 6:07
  Speaker 5: the American people. When filibustering senators trying to slow it
• 6:10
  Speaker 5: down are becoming steadily less popular in their arguments.
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: So senators are willing to defy the wishes of their
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: voters to keep this thing from becoming long.
• 6:23
  Speaker 3: Senator John Thune, the majority of leader, the majority leaders
• 6:26
  Speaker 3: should keep keep people there and make them work through
• 6:30
  Speaker 3: the weekend. Heaven forbid, the Senate actually have to work
• 6:32
  Speaker 3: hard overnight into the weekend. Those types of things actually
• 6:36
  Speaker 3: debated on the floor. Let's do that in perpetuity until
• 6:40
  Speaker 3: we actually vote and actually get it passed. Mike Lee
• 6:43
  Speaker 3: is one hundred and ten percent right. It requires no
• 6:46
  Speaker 3: changes to the Senate rules. You just can't just raise
• 6:50
  Speaker 3: your finger and say, oh, I want to go home,
• 6:52
  Speaker 3: I object to this. That's the Senate needs to debate.
• 6:55
  Speaker 3: They're supposed to be the most deliberative body on the
• 6:58
  Speaker 3: face of the planet, but it's not the way they
• 7:00
  Speaker 3: act all right.
