Speaker 1 (00:00):
Our democracy itself is in the crosshairs.

Speaker 2 (00:03):
Your local politics. Get involved, make it happen.

Speaker 3 (00:06):
Your hometown election head quarters.

Speaker 2 (00:08):
We're about to lose the country.

Speaker 3 (00:09):
Fifty five krs the talk station Kishi Eto six. Here
at fifty five KRSD talk station bright Time, I was
wishing everyone a very happy election day and encouraging your
ready to get out and vote. I know it's an
off year, but you have all the reason in the
world to vote, a variety of reason. And then people
outside of the greater Cincinnati area have a whole lot
more reason to vote, most notably some of the guberdatorial

(00:30):
elections that are going Enough course New York City to
talk about that and so many other races politics that
are from bright Bart News, It's time for the inside scoop.
Bradley Jay, welcome back to the fifty five KRC Morning Show.
It's a real pleasure to have you back on today.

Speaker 2 (00:44):
It is always great to be with you. Thanks for
having me.

Speaker 3 (00:46):
And again a word for the great website that it
is b or e t b art dot com book market.
You'll be glad you did and check it out every day.
I certainly do. In preparation for the Morning Show. And
I don't know where you want to start, Bradley, but
let's start with the shutdown I my listening audience. Fortunately,
I am blessed, although it sometimes is a curse because
they keep me very accountable for accuracy. Bradley, I know

(01:09):
you know what it's like to work with weed dwellers.
But they know exactly what has has caused this shutdown.
But we can review very quickly. We have the Affordable
Care Act, which provided some tax credits for folks that
made three times or four times poverty was sixty one
four hundred, or roughly, if you make less than that,

(01:30):
you got your premium supplemented. Thanks to the original legislation,
COVID nineteen comes along. They get rid of the sixty
one four cap and give unlimited tax credit, which means
it appears that you're not even paying a premium for Obamacare,
even if you're making hundreds of thousands of dollars a year.
COVID disappears, but in some piece of legislation I think
was one of the Green Policies or whatever, they had
a cutoff date for this, right, it was the end

(01:52):
of this year. The COVID nineteen era supplements are going away. Why, well,
COVID's gone away, So that happens at the end of
this calendar year we're all prepping for and people saw
this coming million miles away. Low and behold the government.
Democrats want to continue these supplements, and the Republicans are saying, no,

(02:12):
what's the point here. We're going to pass a clean resolution.
The CR will be Biden era funding levels. Do you
have nothing to complain about while we busily work and
do the work we're supposed to do, which is the
twelve Entitlement or the twelve appropriations bills. So that's all
on hold because the government shut down and the Democrats
won't even agree to a funding level. That is ridiculous.

(02:33):
I mean, that was the point. Thomas Massey said, why
would we do a continuing resolution at Biden level funding?
We need to start cutting government. That was his point,
good point. But in order to take the wind out
of the democrats sales, they wouldn't vote for a CR
that had cuts in it. They gave them everything, the
moon and the stars, and they still won't vote for
it because they want these tax cutters to continue. I

(02:55):
guess forever. I mean, this is where we are Bradley
and all the pain that's being heaped down upon people
because the Democrats pretty much get what they want at
their prior funding levels. I'm not confused, am I.

Speaker 2 (03:08):
Right? That's a pretty good rundown.

Speaker 1 (03:10):
Look at you to ask Democrats before these enhanced subsidies
were passed, they would have told you that everything is
fine with Obamacare, it's going great, healthcare is chief. Of course,
they'd be lying out their teeth. They passed those enhanced
subsidies because they said, ah, COVID requires it. But now
they're acting like going back the pandemic's over, but they're

(03:32):
acting like going back to these pre COVID era restrictions
would just be ripping food out of the mouth of babes.
And it's just totally egregious. And look, you're exactly right.
They made this temporary. They did this without Republican votes. No,
they made it temporary because they said it was only

(03:52):
a COVID era thing. Why did they do that, Well,
I think one reason we're learning when they did that
is everything we're learning with arctic frost and how they
thought there was no chance at all that there would
be a Republican president and they would be able to
easily extend that because Obamacare is broken, it will always
be broken, and it's a broken model. They thought that

(04:14):
they would be able to just extend this forever. But look,
if this is the supplements the federal government that taxpayers
provide that go to these insurance companies, there's a lot
of evidence that these subsidies don't even result in lower
prices for healthcare consumers. It's just a giveaway to insurance companies.

(04:36):
The whole thing is broken, and Democrats know it. They're
using this and the shutdown as an excuse to try
to force a national conversation on an issue that they
think will be.

Speaker 2 (04:48):
Beneficial to them electorally.

Speaker 1 (04:51):
It's not about solving the problems because the way that
they've actually gone about this newt by partisan conversations to
actually address the problem. This is cynicism at its most
egregious from Democrats.

Speaker 3 (05:04):
I can double down the cynicism. There's a handful of
Republican and Democrat representatives described as a bipart as an
effort to come up with a potential compromise. I guess
some Republicans in the House are actually working. But Representative Bacon,
Suzi Hurd and Gothheimer came out with this potential compromise,
and I'll fast forward to this statement quote. But here's
the truth. Democrats and Republicans can sit down, listen to

(05:26):
one another, and find common ground operative words here, especially
when it comes to lowering healthcare costs. I literally laughed
out loud about this. This doesn't lower healthcare costs, It
just masks them by offloading it to the American taxpayer
in the form of, well, we're all paying the premiums
that are going to these big insurance companies. There is
no lowering of healthcare. It's just that we have taken

(05:47):
away your optical vision of having to pay for it
somebody else, meaning your neighbor or you, if you're a taxpayer,
are paying it through another vehicle, the tax code.

Speaker 1 (05:57):
You're exactly right, and at least I hate to pick
on anybody, but I love to pick on people. Don
Bacon is one of just I mean, he's a total
moderate squish, which moderate you know that that's just another
term for a lacking conviction. All he wants to do
is pitch this is some type of legacy to continue

(06:21):
his projection that he's somehow above his house.

Speaker 2 (06:25):
Republican colleagues. He's retiring.

Speaker 1 (06:27):
This is not a serious proposal for him, and this
is not a serious solution to fixing the problems that
we have.

Speaker 3 (06:36):
No, it's not. And then the other one, laugh if
you will, because I did phased out income tax income
cap for those making between are you ready? Bradley Enhanced
premium tax credits would be phased out for those making
between two hundred and four hundred thousand dollars the year
under this compromise proposal. Since when do people making four
hundred thousand dollars a year need a handout from government?

Speaker 2 (07:00):
Well, I'll tell you.

Speaker 1 (07:00):
The Democrat Party is now unquestionably the party of the elites.
They're fighting right now, not for working people, because they're
actually shutting down the government and keeping people on food
stamps from getting fed. They are fighting for insurance companies
and for people making over four hundred thousand dollars a year.

(07:21):
That is who the modern Democrat Party is. That is
who they become. Is no longer the party of blue
collar working Americans. Trump and MAGA have taken that mantle.
And I don't know as long as Republicans continue fighting
the right fights, they can keep those voters forever. But
this is who democrats are. They are coastal elites who

(07:42):
are fighting for the donor class.

Speaker 3 (07:44):
Well, let's pivot over to elections. Brad Lee Jay got
some big ones going out there. One of the most
perplexing from my standpoint, although it is New York City,
this communist I'll call them, you know, democrats. Socialists is
the working phrase for modern day immunis. But in any ways,
Zorhan Mamdami, it's like everybody's predetermined he's going to be
the winner. His policies are, in my estimation, absolutely crazy.

(08:07):
But that so many New Yorkers could be duped by
what is going to result in an economic collapse for
New York City. I mean, there's only so much you
can extract out of the rich people. For the rich
people pack it up and leave, which, judging from the
real estate activity outside of the City of New York,
like in Connecticut, they're getting ready to leave.

Speaker 1 (08:28):
Well, look what we're seeing in New York is the
inevitable consequence of our immigration policies.

Speaker 2 (08:34):
If you remove the.

Speaker 1 (08:35):
Foreign born from the polls, Mamdani does not win. That's
a certainty at this fact, and it's not as overt
but our immigration policies are the reason that we're seeing
a lot of the polling and probable electoral.

Speaker 2 (08:51):
Results in the off year elections right now.

Speaker 1 (08:54):
Look, we have imported people in such large, large quantities
that there is no assimilation, there's no sense of community.
These people are not real New Yorkers in the sense
of they cherish the heritage and traditions of what was
once a great city, and their votes reflect that it's

(09:15):
gonna be a dark day in New York City. But look,
Mam Donnie, he is going to be hung around the
neck of every single Democrat who is running in the
midterms next year.

Speaker 2 (09:26):
In a lot of ways, this.

Speaker 1 (09:27):
Election will be historic because it closes the book. It's
the end of, or at the very least an end
of a chapter on the Democrat Party of yesteryear. We
are seeing a new Democrat Party where Mam Donnie is
the standard bear, unquestionably embracing socialism. This isn't like Obama
where they kind of dance around it. They gleefully brag

(09:51):
about it right now, and I think that it will
be a turning point in the history of this nation politically,
and it will forever alter the two party.

Speaker 3 (10:00):
System now to the extent he does win, and let's
call it a foregone conclusion. Are the Democrats going to
take that as a justification for a further shift to
the left, so you have say so called centrist or
maybe even rational Democrats end up moving over embracing this
left wing chunk of the party. Or will they wake
up and say, you know, Mandammie's going to be so bad,

(10:22):
we need to regroup and reject that as a concept
for the sake of saving our party from itself. I mean,
I guess it could go either way, couldn't it.

Speaker 2 (10:32):
Brian, I think it's going to rip the party apart.

Speaker 1 (10:35):
You see people like Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries, who
ostensibly are the leaders of the Democrat Party, you know,
the top Democrat in the House, in the Senate, they
are running so far away from Mamdanni because they know
that this whole ruin their chances of ever becoming the
majority leaders or the speaker in their respective chambers. This

(11:00):
this is not at least right now with our immigration policies.
God forbid, it doesn't. But one day it might become mainstream.
But this is not a platform that can win majorities nationwide.

Speaker 2 (11:13):
It's cancer in a lot of.

Speaker 1 (11:15):
These swing districts throughout the country, in a lot of
these states that are purplish, and most Democrats know that
some will cynically embrace it, because let's be honest, a
lot of politicians don't really have convictions. Their convictions or
whatever keep them in power. But I think that some
of the savvier Democrats know that this is not something

(11:40):
that they can lead a ticket.

Speaker 3 (11:41):
Well, you mentioned Schumor in the context of him not
embracing Momdami say. I mean, he's obviously a smart politician.
He knows that that's toxic and bad ultimately, at least
we perceive it that way, like you said, And yet
he doesn't stand up to the aocs within his own
party when he has an opportunity to do so. I mean,
I'm just looking at them from a person of the ideology,
and I cannot imagine that a majority of Democrats think

(12:04):
along the way that AOC does. And so why wouldn't
Schumer stop them in their tracks and assert his power
and influence over them and his and project his voice
to the rest of the Democrats. Hey, we've got to
get our act together. And they're not the way we
can go.

Speaker 1 (12:21):
The reason is that Schumer is the Senate Democrat leader nominally,
but he holds a very tenuous grasp over his conference. Look,
Senate leaders always have a limited ability to actually enforce
anything with their leader, with their membership. Trent Lott used

(12:43):
to say that being the Senate majority leader was like
pushing a wheelbarrow with one hundred frogs, and every time
you grab one and throw it back in, three others
jump out. That's just the way that the Senate works.
But look, a he is a dinosaur. He is an
anachronism in the modern Senate, certainly in the Democrat Party

(13:04):
right now. He has changed and evolved markedly over the years.
I mean he used to bang bang his fist on
the table and say we need a wall and we
have to defend Wall Street, and I mean he's just
a completely different animal now, just out of political pragmatism.
But there is there are no Democrats coming up right

(13:25):
now through the Democrat politician pipeline. There are no voters
out there, at least not in the ascendant wings of
the Democrat Party who are saying, you know what, we
need more Chuck Schumer's out.

Speaker 2 (13:36):
There it's a question now, not of if.

Speaker 1 (13:39):
But of when he is deposed as leader of the
Senate Democrats. That's just the direction that things are going
in the Democrat Party, and they're in very dire straits.

Speaker 3 (13:50):
Right part politics outor Bradley Jay real quick. New Jersey
Virginia two goodnatorial races, and the Republicans are making a
stronger showing towards the end though, But we are talking
about New Jersey and Virginia. If you had to read
Tea les, how are those two races going to work out?

Speaker 1 (14:02):
Bradley In New Jersey, Republican Jack Chiarelli is peaking at
the exact right time. I think he has an excellent
chance at an upset right now. Virginia is gonna.

Speaker 2 (14:12):
Be a little tougher road to hoe. I think that the.

Speaker 1 (14:16):
Republican candidate Jason Miarez will win the AG's race because
of all that controversy with Jay Jones, It's going to
be a little bit more difficult.

Speaker 3 (14:24):
Hire up the ticket. Bradley Jay, always a pleasure talking
with you, and it's votes count and voter turnout I
think will determine the outcome of these elections substantially. It's
been great having you on the show. Keep up the
great work at breit Bart, Bradley. I'll look forward to
having you back on the show real soon.

Speaker 2 (14:40):
He's great joining you, Brian.

Speaker 3 (14:41):
Take take care man. It's eight twenty right now. If
you have kersee the talk station.
