| 0:25.4 | Welcome to Seculo. |
| 0:26.2 | You've been waiting for this news. |
| 0:27.4 | The shutdown is over. |
| 0:28.9 | It happened late last night. |
| 0:30.1 | President Trump from the Oval Office signed it, said it was time for this to all be over. |
| 0:35.1 | There was applause. |
| 0:36.4 | There was a lot, of course, conversation that led into it saying none of this really had to happen. But of course here we are. It is over. I think this is a good day for America in that sense. However, it's not a good day. It feels like for the Democrats as the far left groups, the AOCs, the squads are saying, we cannot believe this shutdown is over. You know, they called for the shutdown to end.

| 1:35.8 | Because then you've got half that candidate supporters saying, I'm against the current senator. |
| 1:40.3 | I want the radical. And then the other, so what is who, what is that local, the one running for House of Representatives? Do they have to figure out if they're going to endorse the challenger to an incumbent senator? It could be a mess for Democrats, but I think what AOC is, she's making a long-term play to take the party the way of her and Moundani. I mean, she's, she's got a clear base in New York and Gavin Newsom, you add New York and California together |
| 2:01.6 | and you've radicalized the party. I think Newsom's a better face of the progressiveness because he |
