Major GarrettHOST
Political connections can sometimes be curious.
Major GarrettHOST
Consider, Republican Jay Feely and Democrat Amish Shah have something in common other than what they're doing right now, running for Congress in Arizona, and it has to do with the New York Jets.
Major GarrettHOST
Both were on the team in one way or the other.
Major GarrettHOST
Feeley was the Jets' kicker for two seasons, and Shah sidelined doctor for the team for five years.
Jay FeelyGUEST
It's where I disagree.
Jay FeelyGUEST
And I'm always going to fight for Arizona.
Jay FeelyGUEST
In regard to data centers, you know, even my opponent Amish Shah, when he was in office here in Arizona, he voted for the tax credits to bring data centers here.
Jay FeelyGUEST
Now, because it's politically unpopular, he's against them.
Jay FeelyGUEST
And, you know, when I talk about the issue at data centers, it's an issue that I've been willing to be honest about, even though knowing that it's not popular.
Jay FeelyGUEST
And I think Amish Shah, he voted for the tax credits.
Jay FeelyGUEST
when he was in office, and then now he is pushing against him because he knows they're not popular.
Jay FeelyGUEST
It shows where he's willing to change his policies to try to get elected.
8 MINS LATER
Jay FeelyGUEST
But I also did not want the greatest sponsor of terror in the world to have a nuclear weapon.
Jay FeelyGUEST
And that's what we were looking at.
Jay FeelyGUEST
And even Amish Shah admitted in the debate that we had to go to war and make sure that Iran
Dennis WelchHOST
did not get nuclear weapons.
Kyle LowderSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
So one of the races that could decide control of the House is in Arizona's first district, and the Republican running there spent 14 seasons kicking in the NFL.
Kyle LowderSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
Jay Feely facing Democrat Amish Shah for an open seat in a true toss-up here, where recent polling shows he's trailing his opponent by a narrow margin.
Kyle LowderSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
And Jay Feely joins us now.
Kyle LowderSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
Good morning, Jay.
Jay FeelySOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
I think the biggest difference is transparency.
Kyle LowderSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
Mm.
Jay FeelySOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
You know, if you listen to Amish Shah during that debate, you're, you would've thought he was a Republican.
Jay FeelySOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
You know, he agreed with me, like, 16 times.
Peter DoocyHOST
Now let's turn to a key Arizona House race.
Peter DoocyHOST
Jay Feeley and Amish Shah are going head-to-head to represent Arizona's first congressional district.
Peter DoocyHOST
Fox News Power Rankings has this race as lean Democrat.
Peter DoocyHOST
For more, let's bring in the Republican candidate, former NFL kicker Jay Feeley.
Ali VelshiHOST
Now, Feely is a political newcomer who spent 14 years as a kicker in the NFL, including four seasons with the Arizona Cardinals.
Ali VelshiHOST
The Democratic, uh, nominee is Amish Shah, an emergency room doctor who spent five years serving as a representative in Arizona's State House.
Ali VelshiHOST
He won the Democratic nomination by defeating a centrist candidate who had the support of the Congressional Democrats' campaign arm.
Ali VelshiHOST
The latest polls shows Shah with a 2.8, uh, point lead over Feely, which is within the poll's margin of error.
Ali VelshiHOST
Now, the two opposing candidates share an interesting connection.
Ali VelshiHOST
Back in 2008, Shah was a team doctor for the New York Jets while Feely was that team's kicker.
Ali VelshiHOST
Joining me now is Dr. Amish Shah, Democratic candidate for Congress in Arizona's first district.
Ali VelshiHOST
Dr. Shah, welcome to the show.
MitchHOST
we're gonna chat about that in an upcoming episode
JesseHOST
i have info on the jay feely race So Jay Feeley's opponent is Dr. Amish Shah, who was actually the New York Jets team doctor when Jay Feeley was their kicker.
JesseHOST
And Amish Shah, the doctor, dropped a targeted campaign ad saying, that showed footage of Jay Feely missing three game-winning field goals against the Seattle Seahawks when he was on the Giants, saying, when pressure is on to fight for you, Jay Feely is not the guy.
JesseHOST
vote for dr shaw and polls uh first strategic poll conducted on october 1st is showing shaw is leading feely 44 to 41 that's good with 14 undecided
DougHOST
that's
Mike BroomheadHOST
So I thought this was a strange thing.
Mike BroomheadHOST
So I don't know how closely you even pay attention to this, but I live in CD1, and that is where Amish Shah is running against Jay Feeley.
Mike BroomheadHOST
I
PatriciaHOST
do know
Mike BroomheadHOST
You know, if you are Congresswoman Grijalva, you live in a dark blue district, you're going to talk dark blue.
Mike BroomheadHOST
It's just what you have to do.
Mike BroomheadHOST
Amish Shah has said that if he wins, if the Democrats win and take over, that they should consider impeaching Donald Trump.
Mike BroomheadHOST
Seems like a very strange thing to say in a district that is so tired of that political partisanship.
Mike BroomheadHOST
So if you know there's going to be you know, it's predicted to be close races.
Mike BroomheadHOST
CD1 with with Jay Feeley and Amish Shah.
Mike BroomheadHOST
If Feeley wins is are the Democrats going to say that that was somehow rigged and stolen? If if Shah wins, are they going to and which side is going to be called election deniers and conspiracy theorists if they say it? And that's where my frustration is, that I will be – I'll take the arrows from people in my own party over my disagreement because I think it's healthy.
Mike BroomheadHOST
I think that healthy disagreement, we don't always agree.
Ryan KnutsonHOST
