Speaker 1 (00:01):
Ato six fifty five GARROSD talk station. They're happy Tuesday
to you. Oh, I love tuesdays of this time. It's
time for the inside scoop with one of my favorite websites,
bright Bart b R E I T B A rt
dot com book mark. You'd be glad you did because
you get to read what Bradley Jay writes. Bradley J.
The politics editor breit Bart Look Front page News. Senate
passes funding bill to and Schumer shutdown, written by Oh

(00:23):
Bradley J. Bradley J. Welcome back to the fifty five
Carse Morning Show, my friend. Always a pleasure to have
you on the show.

Speaker 2 (00:29):
I look for to Tuesday mornings at this time. Too
great to be with you.

Speaker 1 (00:32):
That's nice to hear Bradley, and I do find your
site informative so real quickly I know they've agreed. I
guess minor concessions, if you can even call them that
rehiring the four thousand or so employees that were fired
during the shutdown, Might I interject, Bradley Jay, employees that
would not have been fired had there not been a shutdown.
They get their payback. No more firings. Three appropriations bills

(00:56):
going through, which I presume probably would have gone through anyway,
because they've alread gone through the sausage making process and
the government is opened. I guess through what January thirtieth.

Speaker 2 (01:08):
That's right, yeah, January thirtieth. It's the build through the Senate.
Now the House is going to vote tomorrow night. Just
a total unconditional surrender from the Democrats. They got absolutely nothing.
The only concessions they got were to undo some of
the things that had happened during the shutdown they initiated

(01:31):
but wouldn't have happened otherwise, and a promise on a
vote that is doomed to failure. Just an absolute disaster
for Truck Schumer, who now has the moderates upset with
him over his strategy and the left upset with him
for Cavin.

Speaker 1 (01:47):
All right, before we get to the Schumer future question,
which I have written down like I got to ask him, Bell,
what do you think is going to happen to the
schuck Schumer? You mentioned the unconditional surrender, and I have
to give although I dearly love respect and put him
up there as almost number one, if not number one,
of my favorite representatives. Thomas Massey, devout libertarian principles. He

(02:08):
is a strict constitutional as he is. He did not
like the vote for the CR because it was it
kept funding levels at twenty twenty four. That was Biden
level funding. That said, was it not a stroke of
political genius for the Republicans to do that taking the
wind out of any sales the Democrats might be trying
to get because of some maybe reduction. So this wasn't this,

(02:30):
you know. They they couldn't point to the supplements going away.
They're the ones that put the deadline for the supplements.
They couldn't point to the CR being oh my god, draconian.
Look how much gut cuts they made from government. It
was the Biden level funding levels. So they had nothing
to argue, Bradley.

Speaker 2 (02:48):
They really did. And look, Democrats made this. These enhanced
Obamacare premium subsidies expire at the end of this year
for a good reason. It's a COVID era thing. We
know why they did it. We're finding out a little
bit more. Every every week is more and more trickles
out about Arctic fraud. They the Democrats thought that it

(03:09):
was just going to be a guarantee that Donald Trump
would never be back in office, that there would just
be a Democrat there for until Kingdom come. Thank god
that that's that's not the case. And look the thing
about this you had. Bernie Sanders said this in his
video that he posted out. I guess it was yesterday

(03:31):
the day before. Uh. He's criticizing his party for folding
and not getting anything he guarantees, only sending these subsidies.
But he said, we are already paying the highest prices
in the world for health care. So tell me, so,
tell me how these subsidies work. I mean, are you
kidding me? You're making our point for us.

Speaker 1 (03:52):
Bernie Bradley j. You are right because Obamacare was merely
a vehicle designed to collapse under the weight of its
own pressure in order to bring about government funded health
care for all. And that's exactly what Obamacare effectively is.
Thank god, the Supreme Court said they could not make
us buy it through the commerce clause, but there it is. Nonetheless,
no one buys into it. It becomes the insurer of

(04:13):
last resort, meaning the claims pile up. People who are
very sick and get on Obamacare and have all their
claims paid. And then, of course the government has to
fake it being affordable by paying the insurance companies the premium.
The money's going directly the medical insurance carrier, so that
makes it look like it's free. And by getting rid
of the caps on those subsidies, anyone can join in,

(04:35):
and a lot of people did because financially speaking, it
might it did work out for a whole lot of people.
But now that those supplements are gone, most people are
going to go go back, have to go back to
the private sector to get their medical insurance, meaning bigger
and bigger weight is going to be loaded down on Obamacare.
It's designed to collapse brightly. At least that's my perspective.
Maybe you got a different one.

Speaker 2 (04:54):
No, I think you're exactly right. And this is just
another example with the payment to the insuring companies of
how the party dynamics have shifted so much during the
last ten years. The Democrat Party is now the party
of the coastal elite. That's who they cater to. If
they've become the party a big business. It was something

(05:17):
that I wouldn't have thought was possible just over a
decade ago, but they have fully embraced it. As the
Republicans under Trump had brought in more and more blue
collar working American voters. There has just been a total shift,
and the Democrats can't argue otherwise. Now.

Speaker 1 (05:34):
Well, the other argument that came out just the other
day may have motivated the Democrats to move forward with
this reopening of the government. Bradley, is the idea that
Trump threw out and others have thrown out. Why don't
these supplement dollars just go to the person themselves and
then they can use them like their medical savings accounts,
to apply to private sector medical insurance policies. And there

(05:55):
are hundreds of companies out there offering medical insurance. It
can be affordable if you know how to work in
more people would But it's like school choice. Let the
money follow the kid. Why does this money have to
go directly to the medical insurance companies whose stocks have
gone through the roof.

Speaker 2 (06:11):
It sounds almost to me like you're proposing something that
might actually benefit the American people below in your healthcare
competition is not what Obamacare is about. It is not
at all, as you have said. It is all about
creating something that inevitably will fail and fail upward, as
you're a Democrat, into just more socialized socialized medicine.

Speaker 1 (06:35):
Yeah, we've got to see us enter the one size
fits all new government program Medicaid for all. We're going
to save this. Because of Obamacare collapse, people are dying
in the streets. They can't get medical treatment. We need
a solution. That solution is going to come from government,
even though government solution led to the collapse that needs
to be saved. I mean, yeah, I mean, he can't
make this up.

Speaker 2 (06:55):
Bradley, Well, right, I'll tell you one thing that Chuck
Schumer said on the floor before the vote last night.
He said, the American people have now are woken to
trump health care crisis. I think that the American people
have woken up to the crisis right now. I don't
think that they blamed Trump. This was such a loser

(07:17):
for Democrats, this shut down because the one issue that
Democrats wanted to force into the national conversation, this issue
is health care is such a loser for them. The
American people are examining it now. They're hearing Bertie Sanders
talk about how the American people have the most expensive

(07:37):
health care in the nation, and they're asking, what exactly
are we trying to save here? Why are Democrats trying
to prop up Obamacare. Yet again, this could be an
opportunity for Republicans to if they actually go on offense
and are aggressive, which Republicans are not generally inclined to do.

(07:58):
This would be a heavy lift for them and to
be at character. But if Republicans sees the moment, they
could actually do something not only that lowers healthcare prices
and availability for the American people, but might actually be
a winner at the ballot box.

Speaker 1 (08:15):
Imagine that, no question about it. And some astute journalists wrote,
no one objective to the animous consent agreement to speed
the end of the shutdown. Reading from your article, do
you think that's because they realize that this there's no
reason to just end this pain that they brought about.
I mean, let's just get this thing through. We know
we're done, it's over, Let's get the government back open.

(08:37):
Is this an acknowledgment that perhaps they realize in this
whole who wins who loses political argument which is so childish,
that they are the losers indeed in the hearts and
minds of the American people on the shutdown.

Speaker 2 (08:50):
Well, look, bron I worked on Capitol Hill for a
long time, and there was a saying that we used
here all the time, Bote, no hope.

Speaker 1 (08:57):
Yes.

Speaker 2 (08:58):
One thing that Senator came said during his press conference
this week announcing that he was caving is that there
were many more Democrat senators who wanted this to end,
but who would not vote for it because they didn't
have to. It's no accident that there were eight Democrats
who voted for this, and there were exactly eight Democrat

(09:21):
votes that were needed. And here's another point. None of
those eight are up for reelection this year. They're all
either retiring or they're up in twenty eight or thirty.
This is going to be the new listless test for Democrats.
It's politically toxic to have voted to end the shutdown.
It's another example of how just the radicals, the no king,

(09:44):
the resistant Democrats of the world have just fully fully
won over control of the Democrat Party.

Speaker 1 (09:51):
Well, and that suggests the answer to the question was
going to ask you what does this mean for Chucky Schumer.
I note another line you pointed out the civil war
for the soul and direction of the party is just beginning.
Of course, you're writing about the Democrat Party. Does this
mean they've woken up and are going to start shifting
more toward the Oddly enough, Fetterman turned out to be

(10:11):
a normal kind of sounding human being as a Democrat.
Are they going to move toward Fetterman? Are they going
to move more toward AOC.

Speaker 2 (10:20):
I think that the party has no choice but to
move towards the AOC type wing. Look. Part of the Senate,
even more so than the House, is insulated from the
political wins, and part of the job of a Senate
leader is to take those slings and arrows and to

(10:42):
be unpopular to protect his own members. The problem for
Schumer is that he himself is going to be in
danger at the ballot box. I think it's notable that
a reporter chased him down the other day and asked
him if he was going to run for reelection, and
he would not commit to it. I think that AOC

(11:03):
would be wise to run against him and not run
for president. Of course, I'm not out here looking to
give AOC any advice, but there's no doubt that Chuck
Schumer himself is in political peril right now, and a
lot of the members of his caucus feel like the
reason that he forced him into this shutdown was for
his own personal political benefit.

Speaker 3 (11:26):
And if that that is something that I believe could
actually called some members of his own conference to start thinking, well,
maybe it's time for a change.

Speaker 2 (11:37):
Not to mention how all these candidates for Senate, these
Democrat candidates around the nation are calling for him to
step down and pledging not to vote for him. He
could be in real trouble down the roads.

Speaker 1 (11:49):
And I get that, and I can certainly understand California,
for example, sending an AOC leftist to replace Chucky Schumer.
But out here in the great unwashed man in state,
let's say, purple state states that are kind of closed,
sometimes Republicans, sometimes Democrat. Do you think that message is
going to carry the weight and win over the hearts

(12:09):
and minds of the American people, Because, honestly, Sir, I
hate living in a time or a socialist or an
out loud admitted communists can even get elected. But can
they get elected in states beyond New York and California
and some of the other batcrab crazy blue states.

Speaker 2 (12:23):
Bradley, It's politically toxic and in a lot of ways,
Democrats are in a similar spot now as Republicans were
a decade ago. The longtime leaders of the party had
run the ship aground, and there was a battle for
what direction the party was going to go in as

(12:45):
specifically to Capitol Hill. Look, leadership isn't as important anymore.
You don't have as much a threat to members with
Congress doesn't legislate, so prime committee spots aren't as important.
Members can raise money elsewhere, They're not as dependent. They're
not as dependent on leadership bar jess or all these
campaign committees, and you can take your message directly to

(13:07):
the people with social media websites like brightbart and and
on and on. You're not dependent on the establishment media
that oftentimes these the establishment of these political parties controlled
The difference for Republicans vitween Republicans in and Democrats now
is Republicans had a savior waiting by the grace of

(13:28):
God named Donald Trump, who actually led the party in
the right direction that would actually expand the tent and
give Republicans an electoral future. Democrats don't have that, and
I think that the direction that their party is going
to take is one that has incredibly far to the
left and such a turn off for most independents, most moderates,

(13:52):
and won't do anything other than to generate excitement with
the furthest left of their party. That war is going
to be messy. I think that the party that wins
will be bad for the country. Hopefully it doesn't move
the over to window that way, but Republicans have a
real opportunity.

Speaker 1 (14:11):
If they can seize it, they sure do. Politics editor
Bradley J. From Breitbart Breitbart dot com Real quick, since
I mentioned Massy before, he's got a discharge petition for
the Epstein files with the House out of recess that's
going to be brought up. What do you think.

Speaker 2 (14:26):
I think that this has been out there for two longs.
The discharge petition isn't even gonna do that much. It's
limited in what it can compel the administration to do.
Let them vote on it, let them have their day,
get it over with, Let's get back to business.

Speaker 1 (14:43):
