Episode notes
Schumer's Leadership Mismatch
- Chuck Schumer now appears like an 'inside' leader who struggles in an 'outside' national media game. The hosts argue his cable-news style and lack of modern, nimble messaging make his position vulnerable over time.
The Eight's Calculated Risk
- Senators who voted against the shutdown resolution face far less immediate blowback than Schumer. The panel suggests they 'took one for the team' and should move on without rubbing it in.
Keep Veterans Day Above Politics
- Treat Veterans Day as a moment to honor service and minimize partisan fighting. Avoid turning the day into a political spectacle and focus remarks on gratitude and remembrance.
