Product placement

Fox News: appears as a news channel watermark and on-screen graphic. Removing it would not change what happens in the video. It acts as a substrate for the news report. James Talarico: is a political candidate whose lead is discussed. Removing his name would change the subject of the video. He acts as the subject of the discussion.

Transcript

Well if this thing keeps up you could have Talarico come in and you'd have a Senate which I think people would recognize. Uh is that is that race close? It is close. There have been multiple polls in the past week that that showed Talarico leading one after the other. They're within a couple of points, but this is a very real race.
