This show proudly sponsored by Real American Freestyle Wrestling. I think he's fascinating that Democrats decided to do an autopsy on what were wrong in 24. Now, we've been over this, but if they're going to pay to have an autopsy, you would think they're going to expose it. Instead, they feel Ken Martin feels, ah, we're not going to do that. Why? Because he said, we're basically on a role. We learned our lessons. We're winning the off-year elections. Really? You might not like what the Republicans are doing, but there's no indication that Democrats are gaining in popularity. I think you can learn something from an autopsy, but that's just me. Josh Crashauer, welcome. Hey, Brian, Merry Christmas. And yeah, what a holiday surprise from the DNC. Yeah, why would they do that? So you do an autopsy. Remember, Rice Prebus did it. They came out with it after Romney lost. And, you know, even though Donald Trump blew it all up and didn't adhere to it and was successful, they still did it and announced it. Why does Ken Martin not want to do that? Well, I mean, there are two big reasons.

0:55.4

Number one is that it would put out some uncomfortable truths about what happened in 2024.

1:01.2

Now, keep in mind, they totally in this report, they did not commission a report to look at

1:06.7

Biden's health his age, the fact that Democrats were refusing to acknowledge the obvious,

1:12.0

which was obviously a major factor in what happened in the 2024 presidential elections.

1:16.2

That wasn't even in this report.

1:17.9

What would likely have been in this report if it was private, but it's not going to be made

1:22.3

public is the fact that the Democrats went so far to the left on cultural issues, trans, woke,

1:28.4

you know, the ideology of immigration, which is obviously still with us in our politics today.

1:33.7

But those are the issues that, you know, if you talk to any democratic strategist worth their

1:38.8

salt, they were horrified and how out of touch many of the party leaders and operatives,

1:44.0

or sorry, many of the party leaders and officialsatives, or sorry, many of the party leaders

1:45.0

and officials were with the average voter. So I think that would have been really looked into,

1:51.3

and I'd probably dealt with in a very clinical way. They're now actually gone to the,

1:56.7

but the interesting now, Brian, is like I think the party tried to moderate at the beginning of the

1:59.7

year, but now if you look at the leading candidates and the ones getting all the energy,

2:03.8

they are the most progressive left-wing activist types in the party. They actually haven't

2:10.5

because of, you know, what happens whether you have a party in power and they judge the incumbent

2:14.7

more than they judge the challenger. Yeah, they've had some wins in Virginia, New Jersey.

2:18.4

And they don't feel like it's a good moment to actually deal with the elephant in the room, which is that the party has lost touch with a lot of mainstream voters.

2:27.8

So maybe they can, I mean, they could succeed in the midterms, because oftentimes the midterms are a referendum on the party in power. But boy,

like looking ahead to the next presidential election, looking at the health of your party,
