About this episode
đď¸ The fellas discuss the Democrats' concerning lack of a national message, noting their reliance on negative identity politics and edgy rhetoric exemplified by Illinois Governor JB Pritzker's new found f-bombs. A deep dive into Barack Obamaâs recent appearance in Virginia highlights the former presidentâs selective support, so weird that he didnât endorse what would have been the first black female governor⌠ever. Itâs a stunning example of the Democratic Partyâs rudderless leadership and the confusing signals they send to their base. âĄAshbrook's theory that the government shutdown was a cynical ploy orchestrated by Democrats to energize federal workers is catching on, you heard it here first. This strategy, which seemed far-fetched at first, is now being taken seriously by figures like Senator Ted Cruz. Then we break down what could be a surge in the key Virginia districts voting. The fellas also explain the risks of low-propensity Republican voters sitting out off-year elections. đThen we welcome Senator Dave McCormick to the Progrum. The Senator gives his unfiltered take on the government shutdownâs stupidity, his genuine working relationship with Senator Fetterman, and the dangers of the Democratic Partyâs radical leftward lurch represented by figures like Zoran Mamdani. McCormick concludes with an optimistic view of the American economy, crediting deregulation and foreign direct investment for the surge in prosperity.ď¸ 00:00 - Election Day 2025 Preview and the Democrat Disconnect 06:37 - Obamaâs Hypocrisy on Full Display 15:20 - Is the Shutdown Part of a Get Out the Vote Strategy? 19:22 - New Jersey and Virginia Early Vote Analysis 39:46 - Variety: Pill Popping Sheriff and Macaque Update 49:50 - Senator Dave McCormick Learn more about your ad choices.
