- 0:01Speaker 1: Ato six fifty five GARROSD talk station. They're happy Tuesday
- 0:05Speaker 1: to you. Oh, I love tuesdays of this time. It's
- 0:08Speaker 1: time for the inside scoop with one of my favorite websites,
- 0:10Speaker 1: bright Bart b R E I T B A rt
- 0:13Speaker 1: dot com book mark. You'd be glad you did because
- 0:14Speaker 1: you get to read what Bradley Jay writes. Bradley J.
- 0:17Speaker 1: The politics editor breit Bart Look Front page News. Senate
- 0:20Speaker 1: passes funding bill to and Schumer shutdown, written by Oh
- 0:23Speaker 1: Bradley J. Bradley J. Welcome back to the fifty five
- 0:25Speaker 1: Carse Morning Show, my friend. Always a pleasure to have
- 0:27Speaker 1: you on the show.
- 0:29Speaker 2: I look for to Tuesday mornings at this time. Too
- 0:31Speaker 2: great to be with you.
- 0:32Speaker 1: That's nice to hear Bradley, and I do find your
- 0:34Speaker 1: site informative so real quickly I know they've agreed. I
- 0:38Speaker 1: guess minor concessions, if you can even call them that
- 0:41Speaker 1: rehiring the four thousand or so employees that were fired
- 0:45Speaker 1: during the shutdown, Might I interject, Bradley Jay, employees that
- 0:48Speaker 1: would not have been fired had there not been a shutdown.
- 0:51Speaker 1: They get their payback. No more firings. Three appropriations bills
- 0:56Speaker 1: going through, which I presume probably would have gone through anyway,
- 0:59Speaker 1: because they've alread gone through the sausage making process and
- 1:02Speaker 1: the government is opened. I guess through what January thirtieth.
- 1:08Speaker 2: That's right, yeah, January thirtieth. It's the build through the Senate.
- 1:12Speaker 2: Now the House is going to vote tomorrow night. Just
- 1:16Speaker 2: a total unconditional surrender from the Democrats. They got absolutely nothing.
- 1:23Speaker 2: The only concessions they got were to undo some of
- 1:27Speaker 2: the things that had happened during the shutdown they initiated
- 1:31Speaker 2: but wouldn't have happened otherwise, and a promise on a
- 1:35Speaker 2: vote that is doomed to failure. Just an absolute disaster
- 1:40Speaker 2: for Truck Schumer, who now has the moderates upset with
- 1:43Speaker 2: him over his strategy and the left upset with him
- 1:46Speaker 2: for Cavin.
- 1:47Speaker 1: All right, before we get to the Schumer future question,
- 1:50Speaker 1: which I have written down like I got to ask him, Bell,
- 1:52Speaker 1: what do you think is going to happen to the
- 1:53Speaker 1: schuck Schumer? You mentioned the unconditional surrender, and I have
- 1:58Speaker 1: to give although I dearly love respect and put him
- 2:02Speaker 1: up there as almost number one, if not number one,
- 2:04Speaker 1: of my favorite representatives. Thomas Massey, devout libertarian principles. He
- 2:08Speaker 1: is a strict constitutional as he is. He did not
- 2:11Speaker 1: like the vote for the CR because it was it
- 2:13Speaker 1: kept funding levels at twenty twenty four. That was Biden
- 2:16Speaker 1: level funding. That said, was it not a stroke of
- 2:19Speaker 1: political genius for the Republicans to do that taking the
- 2:22Speaker 1: wind out of any sales the Democrats might be trying
- 2:24Speaker 1: to get because of some maybe reduction. So this wasn't this,
- 2:30Speaker 1: you know. They they couldn't point to the supplements going away.
- 2:34Speaker 1: They're the ones that put the deadline for the supplements.
- 2:36Speaker 1: They couldn't point to the CR being oh my god, draconian.
- 2:40Speaker 1: Look how much gut cuts they made from government. It
- 2:42Speaker 1: was the Biden level funding levels. So they had nothing
- 2:45Speaker 1: to argue, Bradley.
- 2:48Speaker 2: They really did. And look, Democrats made this. These enhanced
- 2:52Speaker 2: Obamacare premium subsidies expire at the end of this year
- 2:57Speaker 2: for a good reason. It's a COVID era thing. We
- 3:00Speaker 2: know why they did it. We're finding out a little
- 3:02Speaker 2: bit more. Every every week is more and more trickles
- 3:05Speaker 2: out about Arctic fraud. They the Democrats thought that it
- 3:09Speaker 2: was just going to be a guarantee that Donald Trump
- 3:13Speaker 2: would never be back in office, that there would just
- 3:15Speaker 2: be a Democrat there for until Kingdom come. Thank god
- 3:20Speaker 2: that that's that's not the case. And look the thing
- 3:25Speaker 2: about this you had. Bernie Sanders said this in his
- 3:29Speaker 2: video that he posted out. I guess it was yesterday
- 3:31Speaker 2: the day before. Uh. He's criticizing his party for folding
- 3:37Speaker 2: and not getting anything he guarantees, only sending these subsidies.
- 3:41Speaker 2: But he said, we are already paying the highest prices
- 3:44Speaker 2: in the world for health care. So tell me, so,
- 3:47Speaker 2: tell me how these subsidies work. I mean, are you
- 3:50Speaker 2: kidding me? You're making our point for us.
- 3:52Speaker 1: Bernie Bradley j. You are right because Obamacare was merely
- 3:55Speaker 1: a vehicle designed to collapse under the weight of its
- 3:57Speaker 1: own pressure in order to bring about government funded health
- 4:00Speaker 1: care for all. And that's exactly what Obamacare effectively is.
- 4:03Speaker 1: Thank god, the Supreme Court said they could not make
- 4:05Speaker 1: us buy it through the commerce clause, but there it is. Nonetheless,
- 4:10Speaker 1: no one buys into it. It becomes the insurer of
- 4:13Speaker 1: last resort, meaning the claims pile up. People who are
- 4:16Speaker 1: very sick and get on Obamacare and have all their
- 4:18Speaker 1: claims paid. And then, of course the government has to
- 4:20Speaker 1: fake it being affordable by paying the insurance companies the premium.
- 4:25Speaker 1: The money's going directly the medical insurance carrier, so that
- 4:29Speaker 1: makes it look like it's free. And by getting rid
- 4:32Speaker 1: of the caps on those subsidies, anyone can join in,
- 4:35Speaker 1: and a lot of people did because financially speaking, it
- 4:37Speaker 1: might it did work out for a whole lot of people.
- 4:39Speaker 1: But now that those supplements are gone, most people are
- 4:42Speaker 1: going to go go back, have to go back to
- 4:43Speaker 1: the private sector to get their medical insurance, meaning bigger
- 4:46Speaker 1: and bigger weight is going to be loaded down on Obamacare.
- 4:49Speaker 1: It's designed to collapse brightly. At least that's my perspective.
- 4:52Speaker 1: Maybe you got a different one.
- 4:54Speaker 2: No, I think you're exactly right. And this is just
- 4:57Speaker 2: another example with the payment to the insuring companies of
- 5:01Speaker 2: how the party dynamics have shifted so much during the
- 5:05Speaker 2: last ten years. The Democrat Party is now the party
- 5:10Speaker 2: of the coastal elite. That's who they cater to. If
- 5:14Speaker 2: they've become the party a big business. It was something
- 5:17Speaker 2: that I wouldn't have thought was possible just over a
- 5:19Speaker 2: decade ago, but they have fully embraced it. As the
- 5:24Speaker 2: Republicans under Trump had brought in more and more blue
- 5:28Speaker 2: collar working American voters. There has just been a total shift,
- 5:31Speaker 2: and the Democrats can't argue otherwise. Now.
- 5:34Speaker 1: Well, the other argument that came out just the other
- 5:36Speaker 1: day may have motivated the Democrats to move forward with
- 5:39Speaker 1: this reopening of the government. Bradley, is the idea that
- 5:43Speaker 1: Trump threw out and others have thrown out. Why don't
- 5:45Speaker 1: these supplement dollars just go to the person themselves and
- 5:49Speaker 1: then they can use them like their medical savings accounts,
- 5:51Speaker 1: to apply to private sector medical insurance policies. And there
- 5:55Speaker 1: are hundreds of companies out there offering medical insurance. It
- 5:58Speaker 1: can be affordable if you know how to work in
- 6:00Speaker 1: more people would But it's like school choice. Let the
- 6:02Speaker 1: money follow the kid. Why does this money have to
- 6:05Speaker 1: go directly to the medical insurance companies whose stocks have
- 6:08Speaker 1: gone through the roof.
- 6:11Speaker 2: It sounds almost to me like you're proposing something that
- 6:15Speaker 2: might actually benefit the American people below in your healthcare
- 6:19Speaker 2: competition is not what Obamacare is about. It is not
- 6:23Speaker 2: at all, as you have said. It is all about
- 6:26Speaker 2: creating something that inevitably will fail and fail upward, as
- 6:31Speaker 2: you're a Democrat, into just more socialized socialized medicine.
- 6:35Speaker 1: Yeah, we've got to see us enter the one size
- 6:38Speaker 1: fits all new government program Medicaid for all. We're going
- 6:41Speaker 1: to save this. Because of Obamacare collapse, people are dying
- 6:44Speaker 1: in the streets. They can't get medical treatment. We need
- 6:46Speaker 1: a solution. That solution is going to come from government,
- 6:49Speaker 1: even though government solution led to the collapse that needs
- 6:52Speaker 1: to be saved. I mean, yeah, I mean, he can't
- 6:54Speaker 1: make this up.
- 6:55Speaker 2: Bradley, Well, right, I'll tell you one thing that Chuck
- 6:59Speaker 2: Schumer said on the floor before the vote last night.
- 7:02Speaker 2: He said, the American people have now are woken to
- 7:05Speaker 2: trump health care crisis. I think that the American people
- 7:09Speaker 2: have woken up to the crisis right now. I don't
- 7:12Speaker 2: think that they blamed Trump. This was such a loser
- 7:17Speaker 2: for Democrats, this shut down because the one issue that
- 7:20Speaker 2: Democrats wanted to force into the national conversation, this issue
- 7:27Speaker 2: is health care is such a loser for them. The
- 7:30Speaker 2: American people are examining it now. They're hearing Bertie Sanders
- 7:34Speaker 2: talk about how the American people have the most expensive
- 7:37Speaker 2: health care in the nation, and they're asking, what exactly
- 7:40Speaker 2: are we trying to save here? Why are Democrats trying
- 7:43Speaker 2: to prop up Obamacare. Yet again, this could be an
- 7:48Speaker 2: opportunity for Republicans to if they actually go on offense
- 7:53Speaker 2: and are aggressive, which Republicans are not generally inclined to do.
- 7:58Speaker 2: This would be a heavy lift for them and to
- 7:59Speaker 2: be at character. But if Republicans sees the moment, they
- 8:04Speaker 2: could actually do something not only that lowers healthcare prices
- 8:08Speaker 2: and availability for the American people, but might actually be
- 8:13Speaker 2: a winner at the ballot box.
- 8:15Speaker 1: Imagine that, no question about it. And some astute journalists wrote,
- 8:19Speaker 1: no one objective to the animous consent agreement to speed
- 8:21Speaker 1: the end of the shutdown. Reading from your article, do
- 8:26Speaker 1: you think that's because they realize that this there's no
- 8:29Speaker 1: reason to just end this pain that they brought about.
- 8:32Speaker 1: I mean, let's just get this thing through. We know
- 8:34Speaker 1: we're done, it's over, Let's get the government back open.
- 8:37Speaker 1: Is this an acknowledgment that perhaps they realize in this
- 8:40Speaker 1: whole who wins who loses political argument which is so childish,
- 8:44Speaker 1: that they are the losers indeed in the hearts and
- 8:47Speaker 1: minds of the American people on the shutdown.
- 8:50Speaker 2: Well, look, bron I worked on Capitol Hill for a
- 8:52Speaker 2: long time, and there was a saying that we used
- 8:55Speaker 2: here all the time, Bote, no hope.
- 8:57Speaker 1: Yes.
- 8:58Speaker 2: One thing that Senator came said during his press conference
- 9:02Speaker 2: this week announcing that he was caving is that there
- 9:05Speaker 2: were many more Democrat senators who wanted this to end,
- 9:09Speaker 2: but who would not vote for it because they didn't
- 9:13Speaker 2: have to. It's no accident that there were eight Democrats
- 9:17Speaker 2: who voted for this, and there were exactly eight Democrat
- 9:21Speaker 2: votes that were needed. And here's another point. None of
- 9:25Speaker 2: those eight are up for reelection this year. They're all
- 9:28Speaker 2: either retiring or they're up in twenty eight or thirty.
- 9:32Speaker 2: This is going to be the new listless test for Democrats.
- 9:36Speaker 2: It's politically toxic to have voted to end the shutdown.
- 9:40Speaker 2: It's another example of how just the radicals, the no king,
- 9:44Speaker 2: the resistant Democrats of the world have just fully fully
- 9:49Speaker 2: won over control of the Democrat Party.
- 9:51Speaker 1: Well, and that suggests the answer to the question was
- 9:53Speaker 1: going to ask you what does this mean for Chucky Schumer.
- 9:55Speaker 1: I note another line you pointed out the civil war
- 10:00Speaker 1: for the soul and direction of the party is just beginning.
- 10:03Speaker 1: Of course, you're writing about the Democrat Party. Does this
- 10:06Speaker 1: mean they've woken up and are going to start shifting
- 10:08Speaker 1: more toward the Oddly enough, Fetterman turned out to be
- 10:11Speaker 1: a normal kind of sounding human being as a Democrat.
- 10:14Speaker 1: Are they going to move toward Fetterman? Are they going
- 10:16Speaker 1: to move more toward AOC.
- 10:20Speaker 2: I think that the party has no choice but to
- 10:22Speaker 2: move towards the AOC type wing. Look. Part of the Senate,
- 10:28Speaker 2: even more so than the House, is insulated from the
- 10:34Speaker 2: political wins, and part of the job of a Senate
- 10:38Speaker 2: leader is to take those slings and arrows and to
- 10:42Speaker 2: be unpopular to protect his own members. The problem for
- 10:47Speaker 2: Schumer is that he himself is going to be in
- 10:51Speaker 2: danger at the ballot box. I think it's notable that
- 10:54Speaker 2: a reporter chased him down the other day and asked
- 10:57Speaker 2: him if he was going to run for reelection, and
- 11:00Speaker 2: he would not commit to it. I think that AOC
- 11:03Speaker 2: would be wise to run against him and not run
- 11:06Speaker 2: for president. Of course, I'm not out here looking to
- 11:09Speaker 2: give AOC any advice, but there's no doubt that Chuck
- 11:12Speaker 2: Schumer himself is in political peril right now, and a
- 11:17Speaker 2: lot of the members of his caucus feel like the
- 11:20Speaker 2: reason that he forced him into this shutdown was for
- 11:23Speaker 2: his own personal political benefit.
- 11:26Speaker 3: And if that that is something that I believe could
- 11:31Speaker 3: actually called some members of his own conference to start thinking, well,
- 11:35Speaker 3: maybe it's time for a change.
- 11:37Speaker 2: Not to mention how all these candidates for Senate, these
- 11:40Speaker 2: Democrat candidates around the nation are calling for him to
- 11:43Speaker 2: step down and pledging not to vote for him. He
- 11:46Speaker 2: could be in real trouble down the roads.
- 11:49Speaker 1: And I get that, and I can certainly understand California,
- 11:52Speaker 1: for example, sending an AOC leftist to replace Chucky Schumer.
- 11:57Speaker 1: But out here in the great unwashed man in state,
- 12:00Speaker 1: let's say, purple state states that are kind of closed,
- 12:03Speaker 1: sometimes Republicans, sometimes Democrat. Do you think that message is
- 12:07Speaker 1: going to carry the weight and win over the hearts
- 12:09Speaker 1: and minds of the American people, Because, honestly, Sir, I
- 12:12Speaker 1: hate living in a time or a socialist or an
- 12:14Speaker 1: out loud admitted communists can even get elected. But can
- 12:17Speaker 1: they get elected in states beyond New York and California
- 12:21Speaker 1: and some of the other batcrab crazy blue states.
- 12:23Speaker 2: Bradley, It's politically toxic and in a lot of ways,
- 12:29Speaker 2: Democrats are in a similar spot now as Republicans were
- 12:33Speaker 2: a decade ago. The longtime leaders of the party had
- 12:37Speaker 2: run the ship aground, and there was a battle for
- 12:41Speaker 2: what direction the party was going to go in as
- 12:45Speaker 2: specifically to Capitol Hill. Look, leadership isn't as important anymore.
- 12:49Speaker 2: You don't have as much a threat to members with
- 12:51Speaker 2: Congress doesn't legislate, so prime committee spots aren't as important.
- 12:57Speaker 2: Members can raise money elsewhere, They're not as dependent. They're
- 13:01Speaker 2: not as dependent on leadership bar jess or all these
- 13:04Speaker 2: campaign committees, and you can take your message directly to
- 13:07Speaker 2: the people with social media websites like brightbart and and
- 13:11Speaker 2: on and on. You're not dependent on the establishment media
- 13:13Speaker 2: that oftentimes these the establishment of these political parties controlled
- 13:19Speaker 2: The difference for Republicans vitween Republicans in and Democrats now
- 13:24Speaker 2: is Republicans had a savior waiting by the grace of
- 13:28Speaker 2: God named Donald Trump, who actually led the party in
- 13:31Speaker 2: the right direction that would actually expand the tent and
- 13:35Speaker 2: give Republicans an electoral future. Democrats don't have that, and
- 13:39Speaker 2: I think that the direction that their party is going
- 13:42Speaker 2: to take is one that has incredibly far to the
- 13:47Speaker 2: left and such a turn off for most independents, most moderates,
- 13:52Speaker 2: and won't do anything other than to generate excitement with
- 13:56Speaker 2: the furthest left of their party. That war is going
- 14:00Speaker 2: to be messy. I think that the party that wins
- 14:04Speaker 2: will be bad for the country. Hopefully it doesn't move
- 14:06Speaker 2: the over to window that way, but Republicans have a
- 14:10Speaker 2: real opportunity.
- 14:11Speaker 1: If they can seize it, they sure do. Politics editor
- 14:13Speaker 1: Bradley J. From Breitbart Breitbart dot com Real quick, since
- 14:16Speaker 1: I mentioned Massy before, he's got a discharge petition for
- 14:19Speaker 1: the Epstein files with the House out of recess that's
- 14:22Speaker 1: going to be brought up. What do you think.
- 14:26Speaker 2: I think that this has been out there for two longs.
- 14:29Speaker 2: The discharge petition isn't even gonna do that much. It's
- 14:33Speaker 2: limited in what it can compel the administration to do.
- 14:38Speaker 2: Let them vote on it, let them have their day,
- 14:40Speaker 2: get it over with, Let's get back to business.
