0:00.0 | Hi, this Alonzo Bowden. I want to welcome you to my podcast, Who's Paying Attention, Episode 90. |
0:11.4 | I am recording from Rochester, New York. It is about 35 degrees outside with a mixture of rain and snow and a gray sky pretty much looks like the |
0:23.6 | Democratic Party right now. Yeah, we got to talk a little about the midterms, an early |
0:28.9 | Merry Christmas to the Republican Party because the Democrats have given it away. Yes, giving |
0:35.2 | it away. It is unbelievable, but they did it again. I've said it years ago. If you want to see a surrender, you just check with the Democratic Congress. As you well know right now, the Republicans have taken over to Congress. They've taken over the Senate. They're celebrating, they're having a ball. |
0:55.0 | And a bunch of Democrats who just leading up to the election, these Democrats did not support Barack Obama. |

1:52.3 | gallon, unemployment below 6%. That was the target. Target's been hit. 10 million people with health |
2:00.6 | insurance that didn't have health insurance a year ago. |
2:04.6 | Any of this would be considered a success. |
2:07.6 | Any of this, if you're a politician, I mean, wouldn't you talk about these things that your party achieved? |
