play. sure, sean, it is good to be with you. i call them with the big five, democratic incumbents, arizona, mark kelly up for reelection, north of him, cortez, kevin cortez mastro is running for reelection in nevada. both of those braces are going to be very competitive. both of those incumbents are in danger. there was a poll last week that showed at a mark salter the republican candidate in nevada, leading by five or six points, pretty good margin for a republican at that point. the other one is in georgia, raphael warnock s newly elected and defending his seat there. obviously very competitive state. herschel walker looks like the republican candidate, same polling from the nrsc last week that showed herschel walker up only a single point which is not great for republicans. in this environment you would think a republican candidate in georgia would be doing much better than walker is doing right now, those are the three that democrats are really going to half to fight to hold onto
ballots to supporting republicans for the first time in my career. we ve never been above a -6 since i ve been on capitol hill for five years, so to be shifting toward the positive realm in purple states with educated women, with independents, those are all huge, huge victories for us. those retirement seats you ve got up there, i think we can jot down missouri as a victory, alabama as a victory. i think we re going to be okay in north carolina. i think we re really solid in ohio. we ve got some work to do in pennsylvania, but we re going to go on the offense. rick scott is doing a heck of a job running the nrsc, the national republican senate committee. he has a strategy reaching out to those independent voters, to hispanic voters, reaching out and growing the party. the democrat party has left traditional reif palins republicans as well as the democrats. so i think that we have a great opportunity here to pick up seats in arizona as well as georgia, and there ll be a couple jokers
closures, things of that nature in. i think we have to have a different standard for kiddos under five. if the adults are doing triple vaccines, masks, improvements to ventilation and resources exist from the american rescue plan. if those things are taken into account, we need to think how we approach a similar threat to the under five group in the rsc, how we use that as a paradigm to think about returning kids back to that in-person environment that shea have been exposed to covid-19, no, i don t think we should be regularly testing the kids exposed as a requirement to get them pack if. if they are asymptomatic, best judgment. if they are asymptomatic, get them pack into the classroom. mask them up. na should be the extent of it. that s what we should do. we cannot keep kids at home exposed to rsp. maximum paradigm makes sense in this place. i really appreciate you both being on, having a conversation,
aneel gupta, the bafta winning writer and executive producer behind the office and also citizen khan and the kumars at number a2. aneel, you adapted the story of ta rtuffe into a play about a british pakistani family in modern day birmingham. how does that work? amazingly, it works quite well. the rsc had the idea, i think because obviously as you mentioned, the original play was an incredibly dangerous piece of work and you could have got killed for doing that sort of thing in 17th century france where it was, as with a lot of great comedy, walking on a very thin tightrope, in terms of taste and what the public were
you re telling people that they must get a vaccination and don t allow them toho make that choice. you re going to force people to make a choice, right, sittingir alone in their trucks, a danger to the public. d so in canada and this also happened in france when you mess with truckersnc, they tend to park their trucks in the middle of the highway. you think we ll see. a protest like that here? i would hope so, to be honest with you because i thinke protests are going to help. yeah, it s going to make peoplep start, you know, take notice if the you know, they put their foot down and say, you know, we re not going to take this . yeah. they have a lot l more power maybe than biden. the senator, thanks for joining us. thanks. appreciate it. .we ll get you a quick fox news nrsc senate vote in progress. kevin corke here to explain. h hiey there, tucker. the democrats don t have the votess, as you know, to end the filibuster as it currently stands atst 60 votes. t however, they re going to
