Will Democrats' Cynical Election Strategy Work

November 4, 2025
🎙️ 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 Obama’s recent appearance in Virginia highlights the former president’s selective support, so weird that he didn’t endorse what would have been the first black female governor… ever. It’s a stunning example of the Democratic Party’s rudderless leadership and the confusing signals they send to their base.

⚡Ashbrook'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.

🐘Then we welcome Senator Dave McCormick to the Progrum. The Senator gives his unfiltered take on the government shutdown’s stupidity, his genuine working relationship with Senator Fetterman, and the dangers of the Democratic Party’s 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.️
