| 0:00.0 | This is CBSI in the world. I'm John Batcha with Selena Zito, my colleague. She writes for the Pittsburgh Post because at the Washington Examiner, the New York Post, she is in Western Pennsylvania. I grew up in Eastern Pennsylvania. |
| 0:18.0 | We have memories of a different Republican party and a different Democratic party once upon a time, but that is the way of all things. We have frequent elections. |
| 0:26.0 | Selena, Mr. Federman, his conduct. We don't need to illustrate it. I'm sure it's read about routinely because it attracts attention to itself. |
| 0:35.0 | But he's not alone. There's the conduct of other members of Congress, some women, some male. I don't, again, need to illustrate it. |
| 0:45.0 | Hi, everybody's having to read about it these days. And then you have a local election by a young woman in Marato. And you make it clear to me, I think, in a recent column that she's conducting herself in a bizarre exhibition's fashion. |
| 1:01.0 | It looks like a trend, but I don't know. Is this endorsed in some fashion by voters whom you speak with? |
| 1:11.0 | Well, part of the challenge is a lot of elected officials win, basically win their elections in primaries. |
| 1:23.0 | In particular, Democrats in Pennsylvania, because it's a closed primary state, a lot of times Republicans just don't, there's just enough registered Republicans to make it a race. |
| 1:34.0 | But there are two women in Western Pennsylvania, Sarah in Marato. She just resigned. Her state's Senate seat and I'm sorry state rep seat and is running for the Allegheny County executive. |
| 1:47.0 | The most powerful, you think there's three, three of those powerful seats in our state is the governor, the mayor of Billy and the mayor and the Allegheny County chief executive. |
| 2:01.0 | She is running on it, but running for it. But, you know, there is this thing that that people have been doing that is just is vulgar and astonishing. |
| 2:16.0 | Yes, let's describe it as lady could dive in without a horse, that kind of thing. |
| 2:20.0 | Yes, yes, yes. We have a minute left. Go ahead, Selena. |
| 2:24.0 | I'm I'm perplexed as to who is on more of a bender, the voters who reward them and put them in office or these elected officials who who think that it's okay to do the things that they're doing. |
| 2:40.0 | And I don't spare anyone. I showed examples of Republicans and Democrats and it's as though we're living a Courtney and Kim Kardashian fight on on on cable some cable network streaming service. |
| 2:56.0 | Whatever were these kids are watching these days and it's just there's no grace left in politics. |
| 3:04.0 | Selena Zito, Pittsburgh Post Gazette, Washington Examiner, New York Post. I'm John Batchler. |
| 3:11.0 | You're listening to CBS Eye on the World with John Batchler. |
