Yeah, well, I made the point on the show last night, I think I was using your talking point, which is objectively true, is that it's no longer, these elections are no longer about, you know, swinging over independent voters and these sorts of things to a degree that's still important, but it really is just a census at the end of the day.
And when you look at, again, like these redistricting plays, when you look at, again, the immigration that took place under Biden, like fundamentally what these elections are just coming down to is what is the actual makeup of that district, and then it just takes a snapshot of it.
That's all that's really occurring these days.
Yeah, we literally had last, it was like a few weeks ago, the whole blue slip debate was going on because, again, Trump's trying to get a judge approved in New Jersey.
And Chuck Grassley comes out and he's like, no, we're not touching the blue slip system, which basically just allows a senator from a state to object to a judge appointment, which...
back in the day made sense because again that senator would have like information on like this judge because they're local now it's literally just a partisan thing where it's just again senators hijacking uh judge appointments all this to be said chuck grassley comes out and he's like no because during the biden administration we utilize the blue slip system and it's a part of our american principles and it would be a total violation of our principles to object to this system
Just utterly ridiculous.
People are not serious.
They do not know what time it is.
And it's unbelievably frustrating.
And all this happens is, I mean, kind of back to the great sort, is this is just Virginia, ultimately, among other things, attempting to shake out Republicans and ensure victory.
This is like to the point we were talking about with Florida, where Florida, you know, DeSantis wins decisively.
At the same time in 2021 in the state of New York, Lee Zeldin loses by about 300,000 votes to Kathy Hochul.
Where is that margin of victory?
Fort Lauderdale, Orlando, Jacksonville.
That's where they are.
So it's just utterly ridiculous that Republican cowardice is really leading, again, to this great sort in many ways.
It's leading to a shakedown of the entire country at large.
I've made this point before on the show, and people don't believe me.
It's literally if you have a Twitter account and you're expressing support for these ICE operations, go to archive.org.
