a little bit of a shame, i think, for lee zeldon that he gave it that much of a shock. now, there is a senate race in a couple of years, i believe, in new york. i think i have that right. showing that he can at least get a foothold. he had never run in a statewide race before, maybe he will try to give it another shot. one more race in new york. i like this candidate up there. new york 25. this is at rochester, one of the highest crime rates in new york state. former police chief, one of the things pretty interesting over the weekends, he got a refugee group to go out and canvas for him. they were worried about crime and they want their kids to be better educated. >> 3000 -- >> a really interesting race. he got run out in 2020. in custody of some police officers in rochester, one of the suspects was a fixie aided in chief lost a job for it. coming back to get his reputation back. rochester's homicide rate hit and all-time this past year. >> josh, too big governor wins for democrats. gretchen witmer and kathy hochul. >> big governor when both of those dates. new york bei

>> i actually think lee zeldon did a great job. i spoke to many women that voted on abortion.out crime, i'm worried about inflation but i'm worried women's rights nationally will be taken away. it was that fear monitoring that turn the boat here. he definitely did shine the light on what is happening here. as long as you have cashless bail, she wants to in the subway, for example, put more cameras. as long as you have cashless bail and you are not changing the policies in this city, none of those things are deterrent spirit everyone has iphones and there are plenty of cameras. that is part of the issue. with the officers, i also think it is a huge morale issue here. their hands have been tied behind their back and they feel they are powerless. a lot of people are leaving the force in droves because they just do not want to be a part of it anymore. we have to suffer now. >> the one issue that all of this touches is the border. i just go right back to you on this, how is it that all of these issues that affect people's lives on the parochial level are still connected to national

strongholds that are looking like they may flip which is the state of new york probably going to governor lee zeldon or connecticut fifth. all of that polling, the top concerns is the economy. why are all of those incumbents running ads about other things? why are they hammering abortion? >> i don't know. >> or for a second hammering the crime tip where he know it is disengenerous, the american people are listening to by one party and that's why the messaging is on task and surgical and not strained. the american people have made it clear what they care about and it is not messages of threats to democracy from a stuttering incompetent. it is anything but that. >> real quickly, i want to come back to you, dr. sapphire, i want curious and you hear the falsehoods of what they are saying of medicaid and medicare. does any of that stick with older voters? >> well, certainly it should. kayleigh brought this up, the tweet the white house put this out talking about the expansion of social security happening under the biden's leadership which is actually just because of a law that was put in there decades ag
