The Democratic Party is getting hijacked · THE DAILY BRIEF

• 0:00
  Speaker 1: Joining us now with more Texas Congressman Brandon Gil Democratic
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: strategist and polster Doug Shown and political analyst May Cook
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: Well Congressman Gil. With something like this ever passed in
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: the United States Congress, I mean, can we put something
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: like a wealth tax, not an income tax, a wealth
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: tax to a vote so we can see which Democrats
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: are nutty enough to actually support it.
• 0:24
  Speaker 2: I think a vote would certainly be interesting. You know
• 0:27
  Speaker 2: what's funny is that this is something that Governor Newsom
• 0:30
  Speaker 2: opposed in his own state but supports nationwide. I think
• 0:33
  Speaker 2: he intuitively knows that it's a terrible idea, it's horrible
• 0:37
  Speaker 2: economic policy. But this is the direction that the Democrat
• 0:41
  Speaker 2: Party is going. I think sometimes it's easy to look
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: and say, you know that the fringe leftists are only
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: in California, or they're only in New York, They're not
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: anywhere else. They are growing across the country, and those
• 0:52
  Speaker 2: are the people who set the tone for the Democrat
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: Party nationally. So this stuff is coming. I would love
• 0:59
  Speaker 2: to see every Democrat in the House take a vote
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: on this, knowing that they're either going to upset a
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: really radically crazy base or they're going to vote for
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: terrible policy.
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: Tug shown you helped Bill Clinton get elected at a
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: time when there was a Democratic Leadership Council with this
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: main street moderate, more moderate Democratic group.
• 1:20
  Speaker 3: They don't even exist. They disbanded years ago.
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: I know that you're often very critical of members of
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: your party for going way too far to the left,
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: and people like Graham Plattnor you've called for him to
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: step aside.
• 1:29
  Speaker 3: What do you make of as serious.
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: A contender for twenty twenty like Governor Newsom, the government
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: of the largest state in the country sort of leaning
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: into this brand of socialism, a confiscatory policy.
• 1:40
  Speaker 4: Kelly, And it's the right question my party instead of
• 1:45
  Speaker 4: developing an alternative agendas, Bill Clinton, did you know tough
• 1:49
  Speaker 4: fun crime, fiscal conservative reigning and welfare is doing the opposite.
• 1:55
  Speaker 4: It's appeasement of the far left, of the progressives of
• 1:59
  Speaker 4: this so which underscores why Gavin Newsom is doing what
• 2:04
  Speaker 4: he's doing with a wealth tax, and why Senator Schumer
• 2:08
  Speaker 4: said what he did about Democrats being a big tent
• 2:12
  Speaker 4: including progressives, socialists and what few moderates still remain, and.
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: The heck tell us and remind us why you are
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: hurting the people who work for folks who are generating
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: the wealth and the jobs, and the capitalism and the
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: innovation in our country. When you try to put on
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: top of the many taxes, they already pay another tax
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: in this case of quote wealth tax.
• 2:38
  Speaker 5: Well, Kelly, and this is really simple. It's because the
• 2:40
  Speaker 5: Democrat Party lost their way. They learned nothing from their
• 2:43
  Speaker 5: autopsy report. Their message today is still TDS, Get Trump.
• 2:48
  Speaker 5: Orange Man is bad. That's what I hear on the streets.
• 2:51
  Speaker 5: So then you have a hijacking of the party. The
• 2:54
  Speaker 5: communists have been here for decades and they have realized
• 2:57
  Speaker 5: there's an anger of frustration that's in America. So let's
• 3:01
  Speaker 5: use the front door of affordability, and then the back
• 3:04
  Speaker 5: door is immediately tax the rich, get rid of ice,
• 3:09
  Speaker 5: make sure that we have Medicaid, Medicare healthcare for all,
• 3:13
  Speaker 5: and continue to dilute the American dream.
• 3:17
  Speaker 3: And they're winning.
• 3:18
  Speaker 5: It's not just California and New York, it's across our country.
• 3:22
  Speaker 5: We're looking at eight states now that are governing by communism.
• 3:27
  Speaker 5: So it's only a matter of time before Hakim Jeffries
• 3:29
  Speaker 5: and others are diluted. Because remember, you just need a
• 3:32
  Speaker 5: small voting block in Congress to stop an agenda, just
• 3:36
  Speaker 5: as Senator Soon that. I mean, they're holding Democrats hostage
• 3:39
  Speaker 5: and Democrats have paralysis today and they're in denial because
• 3:43
  Speaker 5: Hakim Jeffries is thing were united.
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I think that he does not understand the trouble
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: he's in by a party that's no longer even.
• 3:51
  Speaker 3: Interested in demography.
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: It seems having the first African American speaker, having enough
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: women or having enough Hispanics. They're about radical ideology now.
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: Congress and President Trump's endorsement record is unblemish. Yeah too
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: gubernatorial candidates, I would say it then you can't be
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: a stiff and you can't whiff. But outside of those two,
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: a flawless, completely unanimous in both the Senate endorsements sixteen
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: for sixteen, one hundred and thirty one for Onondre and
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: thirty one endorsements. What's the buzz on Capitol Hill about
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: President Trump as the leader of the party when the
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: Democrats are looking for a leader of their party.
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: Well, there's not any question about it. President Trump is
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: the undisputed leader of the Republican Party. Not only that,
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: President Trump is probably the most powerful person in American
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: politics we've seen definitely in modern American political history, if
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: not in all of American political history. This is somebody
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: that every single person in the Republican Party in Congress,
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: whether you're a right winger or whether you're a moderate,
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: looks to for guidance, for not only for legislative guidance,
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: but looks to be the leader, to be the person
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: who sets the agenda, the person who we know that
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: the president is with the people and for that reason
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: we need to stick with him. So I don't think
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: that there's any question on our side of the aisle
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: who the leader is and who we need to be
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: sticking with. The Democrats on the other side, of course,
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: are in total disarray and have no leadership, no message,
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: and no real vision that's compelling for the American people whatsoever.
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: And Doug, given the fact that President Trump is so dominant, fearless,
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: and peerless in this and that the Democrats had tried
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: everything they could to insult, impune, investigate, impeach and worse
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: President Trump and failed, how does the Democratic Party climb
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: out of this. You don't have to tell me who
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: the nominee would be in twenty twenty eight, but should
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: it be somebody from the left, the center, left, the center.
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: How do you read your party's prospects in the future ideologically, Well.
• 5:51
  Speaker 4: I would say, first, the Democrats are going to run
• 5:55
  Speaker 4: against the Republicans and against Trump on affordability because they
• 5:59
  Speaker 4: don't have an agenda now, and who their nominees should be,
• 6:03
  Speaker 4: it should be a moderate like Bill Clinton. The chance
• 6:06
  Speaker 4: of that, I think is very very limited. I think
• 6:09
  Speaker 4: tonight the candidate who's been most helped this week, prospective candidate,
• 6:14
  Speaker 4: is Alexandria al Casio Cortes. There is a Bernie Sanders
• 6:18
  Speaker 4: lane in the party, and I think she is well
• 6:22
  Speaker 4: positioned to take advantage of the constituency she and Senator
• 6:27
  Speaker 4: Sanders have helped build.
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: That's very scary to me. Meheck, because Doug is so
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: smart and so accomplished. I look at Yeah, there's no
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: question that's scared to me because I look at aoc as.
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: Sure they're having a moment, but she's one of ten
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: members of Congress to vote against a resolution shortly after
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: October seventh and twenty twenty three to condemned Hemas. She
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: and others like this Jamille or whatever her name is,
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: prior Jell, they all voted against it, and jamal Boone
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: is gone. Al Green's gone. She's the radical of the radical,
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: and I don't know how you become fresh and you twice?
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: Is it enough to live online like she doesn't have
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: a microphone in her face, but no real power on
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: committees to be the nominee.
• 7:11
  Speaker 5: Well, I don't think she's going to be the nominee.
• 7:13
  Speaker 5: But AOC is having a moment, make no mistake. Even
• 7:16
  Speaker 5: Gallup polling is showing that majority of Democrats today sixty
• 7:19
  Speaker 5: six percent believe in the socialism message. So AOC can
• 7:24
  Speaker 5: win that base all she wants. But remember thirty nine
• 7:27
  Speaker 5: percent of Americans are rejecting socialism. And that's where we
• 7:31
  Speaker 5: go back to what are we doing for the working man,
• 7:34
  Speaker 5: the common man, the anger of affordability?
• 7:36
  Speaker 3: And I'll tell you right.
• 7:37
  Speaker 5: Now, once this Iaran war wraps up, we're going to
• 7:40
  Speaker 5: continue to see gas prices going down and Trump winning
• 7:42
  Speaker 5: for the American people again.
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: Yeah, the gas prices are already going down. And I
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: think that this housing bill is great. I think tackling
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: healthcare housing along with gas and groceries is the full
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: affordability structure. Well, Brandon and Doug and the heck thank
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: you so much for joining.
