1 00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:03,320 Speaker 1: Welcome to today's edition of the Clay Travis and Buck 2 00:00:03,360 --> 00:00:07,640 Speaker 1: Sexton Show podcast. Our two of Clay and Buck starts 3 00:00:07,960 --> 00:00:11,239 Speaker 1: right now. Welcome back everybody, or thanks for joining if 4 00:00:11,240 --> 00:00:17,840 Speaker 1: you're just tuning in. The purchase of Twitter appears imminent. 5 00:00:18,040 --> 00:00:21,640 Speaker 1: Elon must photos or circulating from him at Twitter headquarters. 6 00:00:22,320 --> 00:00:27,320 Speaker 1: The lib tears will likely be flowing inside and outside 7 00:00:27,360 --> 00:00:30,560 Speaker 1: that building. But this is one of these moments where 8 00:00:30,560 --> 00:00:34,000 Speaker 1: there's more to talk about there, just because of what 9 00:00:34,040 --> 00:00:40,920 Speaker 1: the implications are for political discourse and Trump getting back 10 00:00:40,920 --> 00:00:43,720 Speaker 1: on Twitter, for example, what that would mean, because that 11 00:00:43,840 --> 00:00:46,600 Speaker 1: is likely to happen. I don't know how imminent it is, 12 00:00:46,640 --> 00:00:48,320 Speaker 1: but I think it is likely to happen very soon. 13 00:00:49,000 --> 00:00:53,720 Speaker 1: But Clay, we always say this. We're nice guys. We 14 00:00:53,800 --> 00:00:56,280 Speaker 1: just call it like it is, right. We don't we 15 00:00:56,360 --> 00:00:59,960 Speaker 1: don't like to be mean to anybody. But if somebody's 16 00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:03,040 Speaker 1: in a position of substantial power and they are unrepentantly 17 00:01:03,160 --> 00:01:06,480 Speaker 1: and aggressively stupid, we've just got to say it. I mean, 18 00:01:06,560 --> 00:01:08,840 Speaker 1: you just gotta understand that the person who is forcing 19 00:01:08,840 --> 00:01:12,920 Speaker 1: you to do the following things is not a bright individual. 20 00:01:13,040 --> 00:01:17,959 Speaker 1: That's a necessary point of understanding. And so Kathy Hokel 21 00:01:18,160 --> 00:01:22,280 Speaker 1: is really dumb. Apparently the governor of New York. Apparently 22 00:01:23,200 --> 00:01:26,280 Speaker 1: so are her staffers. Now a lot of you I 23 00:01:26,280 --> 00:01:29,240 Speaker 1: know aren't on Twitter. You need to just um bear 24 00:01:29,280 --> 00:01:30,960 Speaker 1: with me for a second while I pull this up. 25 00:01:31,440 --> 00:01:37,800 Speaker 1: There was earlier today a tweet from the official the 26 00:01:37,920 --> 00:01:42,400 Speaker 1: official New York Post account. I think there were a couple, 27 00:01:42,440 --> 00:01:46,560 Speaker 1: but there was one in particular. There were four legitimately fake, 28 00:01:46,680 --> 00:01:51,760 Speaker 1: like you see there like like, we can't. I can't really, 29 00:01:51,800 --> 00:01:54,280 Speaker 1: I'm not going to read them on the air because 30 00:01:54,320 --> 00:01:58,080 Speaker 1: they're they're highly highly inappropriate, but they are so clearly 31 00:01:59,200 --> 00:02:03,160 Speaker 1: the result of a hack, as in, someone got access 32 00:02:03,200 --> 00:02:07,320 Speaker 1: to the New York Post Twitter account. I'm not even 33 00:02:07,600 --> 00:02:09,359 Speaker 1: is there one that we can read? Really, I don't 34 00:02:09,360 --> 00:02:10,640 Speaker 1: think we can read any of them, right, I mean 35 00:02:10,639 --> 00:02:13,400 Speaker 1: they're pretty they're all pretty much across the But the 36 00:02:13,440 --> 00:02:18,760 Speaker 1: point is it's like so far beyond what is acceptable. Yes, 37 00:02:18,960 --> 00:02:23,000 Speaker 1: you would see it and say, oh, they got hacked, right, 38 00:02:23,040 --> 00:02:27,200 Speaker 1: like if you were reading minor Bucks account, you would 39 00:02:27,200 --> 00:02:30,400 Speaker 1: have a sense based on what we would say, like 40 00:02:30,520 --> 00:02:33,720 Speaker 1: here's one that we can read. New York Post tweeted, 41 00:02:34,080 --> 00:02:39,480 Speaker 1: we must assassinate AOC for America Okay, I didn't even 42 00:02:39,480 --> 00:02:42,840 Speaker 1: see that one, right, Yes, so that's no one thinks 43 00:02:43,520 --> 00:02:47,400 Speaker 1: that the New York Post staff or an employee is 44 00:02:47,440 --> 00:02:51,639 Speaker 1: actually sharing that, right everyone, everyone more too. I've got 45 00:02:51,639 --> 00:02:53,600 Speaker 1: another one that we can go. This was all happening 46 00:02:53,600 --> 00:02:57,640 Speaker 1: around the same time, Governor Abbott, I will order border 47 00:02:57,680 --> 00:03:02,079 Speaker 1: patrol to start slaughtering illegals. All right, like these are there, 48 00:03:02,160 --> 00:03:07,400 Speaker 1: we go, so outside the bounds, assassinate AOC, slaughter illegal people. 49 00:03:07,560 --> 00:03:11,680 Speaker 1: Like there are multiple targets, but there's a series of 50 00:03:11,720 --> 00:03:15,040 Speaker 1: absurdities that clearly are not being sent by the New 51 00:03:15,080 --> 00:03:17,760 Speaker 1: York Post. If you were to see from my Twitter account, 52 00:03:18,200 --> 00:03:21,560 Speaker 1: it is time for us to nuke Moscow because of 53 00:03:21,680 --> 00:03:27,640 Speaker 1: Putin's insufficient deference to the Prince Harry memoir that's coming 54 00:03:27,680 --> 00:03:32,320 Speaker 1: out called Spare. That's clearly not from me, Like, that's 55 00:03:32,360 --> 00:03:35,640 Speaker 1: someone who is trolling me, pretending to me. I bring 56 00:03:35,680 --> 00:03:44,200 Speaker 1: this up because Hocal's press secretary two hours ago wrote this. Okay, 57 00:03:44,200 --> 00:03:46,480 Speaker 1: this is the press secretary for the current government New York. 58 00:03:46,560 --> 00:03:49,520 Speaker 1: The New York Post has long fostered an ugly, toxic 59 00:03:49,600 --> 00:03:52,800 Speaker 1: conversation on their front pages, but these posts are more 60 00:03:52,880 --> 00:03:56,360 Speaker 1: disgusting and vile than usual, the New York Post needs 61 00:03:56,360 --> 00:04:01,600 Speaker 1: to immediately explain how this reprehensible content with it's still up. No, 62 00:04:01,720 --> 00:04:05,000 Speaker 1: of course, they've deleted them, of course. But everyone else 63 00:04:05,040 --> 00:04:07,120 Speaker 1: sees this and goes, oh god, the New York Post 64 00:04:07,200 --> 00:04:11,320 Speaker 1: got hacked and Hocal's press secretary jumps cinema. This is 65 00:04:11,320 --> 00:04:16,159 Speaker 1: even worse than the usual New York Post there, So yeah, 66 00:04:16,200 --> 00:04:19,160 Speaker 1: that's right at Clay. So, first of all, I need 67 00:04:19,200 --> 00:04:21,560 Speaker 1: everyone nursed in. Just because people are powerful or rich 68 00:04:21,680 --> 00:04:23,560 Speaker 1: or famous, and this audience knows this, it does not 69 00:04:23,680 --> 00:04:25,800 Speaker 1: mean in the least that they are smart, or they 70 00:04:25,880 --> 00:04:28,320 Speaker 1: have wisdom, or they are virtuous. None of those things apply. 71 00:04:28,600 --> 00:04:33,360 Speaker 1: They are very rich, very powerful people who are incredibly stupid, 72 00:04:33,760 --> 00:04:37,119 Speaker 1: and they're overwhelming the Democrats. Okay, now that all said, 73 00:04:39,279 --> 00:04:42,800 Speaker 1: the Twitter buyout possibly I'm sorry the Twitter purchase hold on. 74 00:04:43,839 --> 00:04:46,560 Speaker 1: So I would say an indictment of Kathy Hokel because 75 00:04:46,640 --> 00:04:49,840 Speaker 1: Kathy Hokel is dumb, and she may have surrounded herself 76 00:04:49,880 --> 00:04:52,599 Speaker 1: with staff that is actually dumber than her, so that 77 00:04:52,760 --> 00:04:56,240 Speaker 1: is an accomplishment, also an indictment of why she should 78 00:04:56,279 --> 00:05:00,640 Speaker 1: be losing. And look, everybody sometimes makes mistakes, but when 79 00:05:00,720 --> 00:05:04,000 Speaker 1: your brand is I'm dumb, and you then double down 80 00:05:04,000 --> 00:05:06,159 Speaker 1: on the dumb with the staff that you hire. It's 81 00:05:06,200 --> 00:05:09,880 Speaker 1: further evidence of all you need to be gone now Twitter. Yes, oh, 82 00:05:10,560 --> 00:05:13,799 Speaker 1: this is also from the press secretary for HOCl. While 83 00:05:13,800 --> 00:05:15,960 Speaker 1: the Post has made its preferences clear in the New 84 00:05:16,000 --> 00:05:18,960 Speaker 1: York governor's race, there is no room for this violent 85 00:05:19,120 --> 00:05:22,760 Speaker 1: sexist rhetoric in our politics. We demand answers. I'm sure 86 00:05:22,800 --> 00:05:25,839 Speaker 1: they do demand answers from the person who hacked the 87 00:05:25,880 --> 00:05:29,080 Speaker 1: Post Twitter account, which everybody else figured out right away. 88 00:05:29,400 --> 00:05:32,200 Speaker 1: How about the fact that Kathy Hokel's press secretary is 89 00:05:32,240 --> 00:05:36,360 Speaker 1: angrier about fake hacked Twitter from New York Post than 90 00:05:36,480 --> 00:05:40,240 Speaker 1: actual crimes being committed by people in New York Like 91 00:05:40,360 --> 00:05:44,680 Speaker 1: that indignation is stronger than any of the indignation when 92 00:05:44,680 --> 00:05:49,279 Speaker 1: people get pushed in front of subways. Liked just released 93 00:05:49,279 --> 00:05:55,280 Speaker 1: this that there have been twenty five people shoved in 94 00:05:55,320 --> 00:05:59,919 Speaker 1: front of oncoming subway cars this year on New York City. 95 00:06:00,520 --> 00:06:03,920 Speaker 1: Twenty five people have been shoved in front of subways. 96 00:06:03,960 --> 00:06:05,719 Speaker 1: Now you can tell me, oh, it's a city of 97 00:06:05,720 --> 00:06:10,520 Speaker 1: eight plus million people. This is a horrifying thing that 98 00:06:10,839 --> 00:06:14,200 Speaker 1: is in the minds of every person, the millions of 99 00:06:14,240 --> 00:06:16,479 Speaker 1: people who take the subway in New York every day. 100 00:06:16,800 --> 00:06:19,360 Speaker 1: When that train comes, especially if it's an express, it 101 00:06:19,440 --> 00:06:22,360 Speaker 1: comes ripping into the station. And if a lot of 102 00:06:22,360 --> 00:06:24,880 Speaker 1: you are familiar to New York City subway, sometimes those 103 00:06:24,880 --> 00:06:27,000 Speaker 1: things come flying in there. I mean it's you know, 104 00:06:27,000 --> 00:06:30,200 Speaker 1: they had sent this huge gust of wind beforehand. And 105 00:06:30,240 --> 00:06:32,720 Speaker 1: we're also, if you're on a super crowded subway platform, 106 00:06:33,240 --> 00:06:36,640 Speaker 1: you are putting faith in your fellow New Yorkers and 107 00:06:36,640 --> 00:06:39,040 Speaker 1: your fellow human beings that they're not going to shove 108 00:06:39,040 --> 00:06:41,320 Speaker 1: you because you are absolutely I don't care if you 109 00:06:41,360 --> 00:06:44,640 Speaker 1: are a ninth degree black belt Navy sealed delta force 110 00:06:45,040 --> 00:06:48,479 Speaker 1: top gun pilot with you know, an eight hundred pound deadlift, 111 00:06:48,760 --> 00:06:51,640 Speaker 1: you are at the mercy of the people around you 112 00:06:51,680 --> 00:06:54,599 Speaker 1: on that platform. Twenty five people in the city have 113 00:06:54,680 --> 00:06:56,440 Speaker 1: been shoved in front of trains this year. Two of 114 00:06:56,480 --> 00:07:00,160 Speaker 1: them have died from this. The others either injured, were 115 00:07:00,240 --> 00:07:04,440 Speaker 1: narrowly avoided getting crushed to death. All but all pushed 116 00:07:04,440 --> 00:07:07,320 Speaker 1: by lunatics with a law you know, with a longstanding 117 00:07:07,720 --> 00:07:11,560 Speaker 1: criminal record or mental health record in and out of facility. 118 00:07:11,640 --> 00:07:13,840 Speaker 1: This is and HOCl saying well, I'm gonna put up 119 00:07:13,840 --> 00:07:16,520 Speaker 1: gun free zone signs in Times Square that'll keep you safe. 120 00:07:17,000 --> 00:07:21,200 Speaker 1: People are idiots. They're idiots. That's almost one every week, right, 121 00:07:21,240 --> 00:07:24,600 Speaker 1: I mean we're one every we're fifty two weeks in 122 00:07:24,640 --> 00:07:26,400 Speaker 1: a year. If we're at twenty five and we're sitting 123 00:07:26,520 --> 00:07:29,600 Speaker 1: right now in late October, I mean it's one every 124 00:07:29,640 --> 00:07:34,080 Speaker 1: other week on average, right. I mean that is kind 125 00:07:34,120 --> 00:07:38,920 Speaker 1: of significant, right, and again is representative of the lawlessness 126 00:07:39,000 --> 00:07:40,800 Speaker 1: that now exists in New York City in much of 127 00:07:40,840 --> 00:07:43,040 Speaker 1: New York State. So now back to the Twitter purchase 128 00:07:43,040 --> 00:07:45,640 Speaker 1: in Elon Musk and what he's what he's going to 129 00:07:45,680 --> 00:07:48,200 Speaker 1: be doing here I'm seeing and this makes me a 130 00:07:48,240 --> 00:07:52,200 Speaker 1: little sad that they're now saying he will not five 131 00:07:52,280 --> 00:07:54,640 Speaker 1: or seventy five percent of the Twitter staff like this, 132 00:07:54,640 --> 00:07:57,280 Speaker 1: This is a shame. Maybe it'll only be twenty percent 133 00:07:57,320 --> 00:07:58,880 Speaker 1: or something. Would still be a lot of layoffs, but 134 00:07:59,720 --> 00:08:02,520 Speaker 1: really gutting Twitter of that because there's only a few 135 00:08:02,600 --> 00:08:05,240 Speaker 1: hundred people at that company, I can assure you who 136 00:08:05,320 --> 00:08:07,840 Speaker 1: are engineers with a real skill set that are really 137 00:08:07,880 --> 00:08:10,560 Speaker 1: necessary for the day to day functioning. What's happened is 138 00:08:10,600 --> 00:08:15,640 Speaker 1: that that has become a company that is completely overrun 139 00:08:15,720 --> 00:08:17,800 Speaker 1: with wokeness, and you have a lot of people who 140 00:08:17,800 --> 00:08:20,240 Speaker 1: are just going in every day and you know, they're 141 00:08:20,280 --> 00:08:24,960 Speaker 1: going and they're having their you know, they're special meals 142 00:08:24,960 --> 00:08:28,160 Speaker 1: prepped for them by the Twitter chefs, and they're going 143 00:08:28,200 --> 00:08:30,679 Speaker 1: around to little meeting pods, and some of them actually 144 00:08:30,720 --> 00:08:32,360 Speaker 1: post videos of this. I mean, you can go see this, 145 00:08:32,720 --> 00:08:36,360 Speaker 1: and they're talking about conversational health on the platform and 146 00:08:36,559 --> 00:08:40,600 Speaker 1: inclusiveness and diversity. And that's the bureaucracy that has been 147 00:08:40,679 --> 00:08:44,160 Speaker 1: larded into this company that has made it one an 148 00:08:44,240 --> 00:08:48,920 Speaker 1: instrument of the left and two not a very profitable enterprise, 149 00:08:49,600 --> 00:08:52,319 Speaker 1: not not operating at the way that it should. So 150 00:08:52,400 --> 00:08:55,520 Speaker 1: I mean, look, he's not doing this, as he's already said, 151 00:08:55,559 --> 00:08:58,880 Speaker 1: Elon is not buying it at a as a capitalist 152 00:08:58,960 --> 00:09:01,040 Speaker 1: looking to make more money. He's the richest guy already 153 00:09:01,080 --> 00:09:04,000 Speaker 1: in the world. He thinks that it's important for our 154 00:09:04,000 --> 00:09:06,719 Speaker 1: country to have a free and fair platform for the 155 00:09:06,760 --> 00:09:09,120 Speaker 1: exchange of ideas. You know, Clay, I'm not I'm a 156 00:09:09,160 --> 00:09:11,800 Speaker 1: blue check like you. I'm not allowed to stream to 157 00:09:11,960 --> 00:09:14,440 Speaker 1: this day, I'm not allowed to stream video on Twitter. 158 00:09:14,720 --> 00:09:18,400 Speaker 1: It's been I got suspended. I've forgot to even bring 159 00:09:18,440 --> 00:09:21,120 Speaker 1: this up. I've been suspended for months and months because 160 00:09:21,120 --> 00:09:23,240 Speaker 1: of something I did on COVID, they will not let 161 00:09:23,280 --> 00:09:25,880 Speaker 1: me stream. I am not able to stream on my Twitter. 162 00:09:25,960 --> 00:09:27,800 Speaker 1: No one, no one ever explains why. By the way, 163 00:09:27,840 --> 00:09:29,840 Speaker 1: you just say, yeah, you can't do it. This is 164 00:09:29,840 --> 00:09:32,680 Speaker 1: the kind of stuff that they do to people. Trump 165 00:09:32,720 --> 00:09:38,240 Speaker 1: getting back on Twitter, though, Is this one imminent two 166 00:09:38,920 --> 00:09:43,319 Speaker 1: a good thing for Trump? Well, those are two big questions. 167 00:09:43,360 --> 00:09:46,280 Speaker 1: So one before we even analyze whether it's a good thing. 168 00:09:46,480 --> 00:09:51,199 Speaker 1: I bet in his truth Social agreements that he has 169 00:09:51,240 --> 00:09:55,440 Speaker 1: agreed to not join any other social media sites. So 170 00:09:56,000 --> 00:09:57,800 Speaker 1: and now I don't know if he would accede to 171 00:09:58,000 --> 00:10:01,920 Speaker 1: that contractual agreement. But if I am running truth Social, 172 00:10:02,000 --> 00:10:05,080 Speaker 1: and I'm speaking entirely in generalities because certainly I haven't 173 00:10:05,080 --> 00:10:07,439 Speaker 1: seen any of these agreements, I would think one of 174 00:10:07,480 --> 00:10:09,640 Speaker 1: the first things you would want to do if you 175 00:10:09,679 --> 00:10:13,720 Speaker 1: are going to give Trump a substantial stake in that company, 176 00:10:14,400 --> 00:10:19,319 Speaker 1: is say you agree that you are not going to 177 00:10:18,840 --> 00:10:22,240 Speaker 1: use any other social media sites. That would be my guests. 178 00:10:22,280 --> 00:10:24,439 Speaker 1: So he may not do it, even if he's allowed 179 00:10:24,480 --> 00:10:26,720 Speaker 1: to do it, which would be a huge win for Twitter. 180 00:10:28,440 --> 00:10:32,480 Speaker 1: I don't think it helps Trump at this I really don't. 181 00:10:33,360 --> 00:10:36,920 Speaker 1: At this point, he is a known quantity. I can 182 00:10:37,000 --> 00:10:41,359 Speaker 1: understand why it helped him immensely get to the presidency. 183 00:10:41,920 --> 00:10:45,000 Speaker 1: But is there anyone out there who doesn't know what 184 00:10:45,080 --> 00:10:49,040 Speaker 1: Donald Trump thinks now and would not know if he 185 00:10:49,160 --> 00:10:52,240 Speaker 1: is running for president and being able to talk to 186 00:10:52,280 --> 00:10:54,760 Speaker 1: his audience. I just I don't know that he gains 187 00:10:54,960 --> 00:10:57,840 Speaker 1: very much from it. I think the best case scenario 188 00:10:57,920 --> 00:11:00,680 Speaker 1: for Twitter is they offer him an opportunity to come back, 189 00:11:00,720 --> 00:11:03,320 Speaker 1: he declines, and he stays on truth social Let me 190 00:11:03,360 --> 00:11:06,199 Speaker 1: also say buck about firing people. I think that was 191 00:11:06,240 --> 00:11:09,960 Speaker 1: a calculated leak by Elon Musk's people because it's far 192 00:11:10,360 --> 00:11:14,240 Speaker 1: cheaper for people to leave than for you to fire them. 193 00:11:14,440 --> 00:11:16,040 Speaker 1: So if you fire them, you probably have to give 194 00:11:16,080 --> 00:11:17,800 Speaker 1: them a severance package. You may have to pay him 195 00:11:17,880 --> 00:11:21,160 Speaker 1: multi months of wages. If you make them think that 196 00:11:21,240 --> 00:11:23,760 Speaker 1: you are going to fire them and they go and 197 00:11:23,800 --> 00:11:27,080 Speaker 1: find another job on their own, you get the benefit 198 00:11:27,200 --> 00:11:30,000 Speaker 1: of the people that you may have fired leaving without 199 00:11:30,040 --> 00:11:32,840 Speaker 1: having the costs associated with it. So when I saw 200 00:11:32,920 --> 00:11:36,280 Speaker 1: the seventy five percent, again a little bit of a 201 00:11:36,320 --> 00:11:39,160 Speaker 1: business knowledge there. A lot of times if you think 202 00:11:39,200 --> 00:11:42,680 Speaker 1: you have an employee that you want to fire, it's 203 00:11:42,760 --> 00:11:46,160 Speaker 1: easier for them to leave and decide that they're going 204 00:11:46,200 --> 00:11:48,120 Speaker 1: to take another job. And I think that's maybe what 205 00:11:48,200 --> 00:11:52,559 Speaker 1: Elon Musk was trying to get out there in that story, saying, Hey, 206 00:11:52,600 --> 00:11:54,960 Speaker 1: he's going to replace seventy five percent of employees, And 207 00:11:55,000 --> 00:11:58,520 Speaker 1: I bet seventy five percent of Twitter employees could be 208 00:11:58,559 --> 00:12:02,439 Speaker 1: gone and the overall value and functionality of the site 209 00:12:02,440 --> 00:12:07,000 Speaker 1: would not be impacted in any way. Very interesting that. 210 00:12:07,440 --> 00:12:09,079 Speaker 1: What are you going to think about Trump on Twitter? 211 00:12:09,200 --> 00:12:12,640 Speaker 1: Good or bad for him? Um? I think I think 212 00:12:12,720 --> 00:12:17,080 Speaker 1: that Trump on Twitter would be uh not a I 213 00:12:17,120 --> 00:12:19,000 Speaker 1: do not think it would be helpful if he wants 214 00:12:19,000 --> 00:12:21,200 Speaker 1: to run for president and win again, I do not 215 00:12:21,280 --> 00:12:23,680 Speaker 1: think it would be helpful. Um. I think that there's 216 00:12:23,800 --> 00:12:25,320 Speaker 1: enough There are enough ways for him to get the 217 00:12:25,360 --> 00:12:30,120 Speaker 1: message out that you know, he managed to use. This 218 00:12:30,160 --> 00:12:32,280 Speaker 1: is the other part of it too. He caught them 219 00:12:32,280 --> 00:12:35,200 Speaker 1: asleep at the wheel in twenty sixteen. Right. I was 220 00:12:35,280 --> 00:12:37,880 Speaker 1: at CNN as a as a political analyst at the time. 221 00:12:37,920 --> 00:12:39,959 Speaker 1: I mean, you know, once once a week or something, 222 00:12:39,960 --> 00:12:44,960 Speaker 1: but I remember being there and the mentality of the 223 00:12:45,000 --> 00:12:48,400 Speaker 1: Democrats every remember, this was this guy's such a clown 224 00:12:48,720 --> 00:12:50,559 Speaker 1: and this is such a joke, and Hillary's gonna beat 225 00:12:50,600 --> 00:12:54,520 Speaker 1: him so easily that the spectacle they can benefit from 226 00:12:54,960 --> 00:12:59,280 Speaker 1: without his messaging actually reaching anyone. CNN was running his rallies. 227 00:12:59,600 --> 00:13:03,640 Speaker 1: Right Twitter and Facebook, We're getting huge revenue boosts off 228 00:13:03,640 --> 00:13:07,680 Speaker 1: of all the engagement that Trump was creating. They will 229 00:13:07,840 --> 00:13:11,920 Speaker 1: not allow that to happen again. They have completely Obviously 230 00:13:11,920 --> 00:13:13,679 Speaker 1: they kicked him off Twitter, right, they kicked him off Face, 231 00:13:13,720 --> 00:13:16,559 Speaker 1: but they kicked him off these places so he won't 232 00:13:16,559 --> 00:13:18,680 Speaker 1: be able to do the same things that he did. 233 00:13:18,440 --> 00:13:20,439 Speaker 1: I've had to come because I love Trump Twitter. I'll 234 00:13:20,480 --> 00:13:22,400 Speaker 1: be honest. I thought it was hilarious. Like generally, I 235 00:13:22,480 --> 00:13:24,560 Speaker 1: was a big fan. I've said this before. Block he 236 00:13:24,600 --> 00:13:26,360 Speaker 1: was the only guy awake when I was doing early 237 00:13:26,400 --> 00:13:29,080 Speaker 1: morning radio sports talker radio. You'd be you know, you 238 00:13:29,200 --> 00:13:31,720 Speaker 1: hit scan and like nothing comes up. That That was 239 00:13:31,760 --> 00:13:33,800 Speaker 1: how my Twitter feed would be at like six am. 240 00:13:33,840 --> 00:13:36,000 Speaker 1: And then it's Trump. That's pretty much it. But this 241 00:13:36,080 --> 00:13:38,800 Speaker 1: time around, he doesn't have He's not going up as 242 00:13:38,840 --> 00:13:42,600 Speaker 1: an underdog against the apparatus. He's a former president who's 243 00:13:42,600 --> 00:13:45,760 Speaker 1: a likely future president. I don't think he needs Twitter 244 00:13:45,880 --> 00:13:48,080 Speaker 1: the way he did before. That's that's my take on it. 245 00:13:48,280 --> 00:13:50,840 Speaker 1: And it can be a distraction and it allows the 246 00:13:51,120 --> 00:13:54,000 Speaker 1: You know, we gotta get Trump to stop sitting down 247 00:13:54,000 --> 00:13:56,800 Speaker 1: with Maggie Haberman and Ben. You know Woodward, all right, 248 00:13:56,840 --> 00:13:58,960 Speaker 1: this is crazy. I don't know what he thinks he 249 00:13:59,000 --> 00:14:00,960 Speaker 1: gains from this. You know, we love the big guy 250 00:14:01,320 --> 00:14:05,800 Speaker 1: who's advising him on this one. It's not helpful gun owners. 251 00:14:05,840 --> 00:14:08,240 Speaker 1: You know how expensive AMMO has become, making it all 252 00:14:08,280 --> 00:14:10,839 Speaker 1: the more expensive to train and keep your skills sharp. 253 00:14:11,200 --> 00:14:13,480 Speaker 1: Did you know you can train without ammunition at your 254 00:14:13,480 --> 00:14:16,280 Speaker 1: home using the Mantis X.

We appreciate all of you listening, 277 00:15:33,880 --> 00:15:36,360 Speaker 1: certainly all over the country, but we're trying to hit 278 00:15:36,440 --> 00:15:41,920 Speaker 1: as many different regions where there are major competitive races 279 00:15:42,000 --> 00:15:45,560 Speaker 1: going on, and we are headed out right now to 280 00:15:45,720 --> 00:15:49,120 Speaker 1: the Seattle area. We have a new iHeart Seattle affiliate. 281 00:15:49,160 --> 00:15:51,960 Speaker 1: We appreciate all of you out there. At KPTR AM 282 00:15:52,080 --> 00:15:56,160 Speaker 1: ten ninety the Patriot. We are joined now by Matt Larkin, 283 00:15:56,240 --> 00:15:59,760 Speaker 1: who is a House candidate in Washington's eighth congressional district. 284 00:16:00,280 --> 00:16:03,480 Speaker 1: This is a potential pickup. I believe Matt, you can 285 00:16:03,520 --> 00:16:06,640 Speaker 1: explain the district, where it is and what you are 286 00:16:06,760 --> 00:16:10,560 Speaker 1: hearing from your Seattle area potential constituents and what we 287 00:16:10,600 --> 00:16:13,760 Speaker 1: can do to help get you across the finish line. There. Yeah, hey, 288 00:16:13,800 --> 00:16:16,720 Speaker 1: thanks for having me on today. This is great. Yeah. 289 00:16:16,760 --> 00:16:19,840 Speaker 1: I'm running out in Washington's eighth congressional district. It's a 290 00:16:19,920 --> 00:16:22,920 Speaker 1: diverse district in that it covers both sides of the state. 291 00:16:22,960 --> 00:16:25,120 Speaker 1: It's kind of unusual that way. You have the rural 292 00:16:25,520 --> 00:16:27,720 Speaker 1: egg side on the eastern side, and then on the 293 00:16:27,760 --> 00:16:31,160 Speaker 1: west you have parts of the Seattle suburbs, King County. 294 00:16:31,720 --> 00:16:35,040 Speaker 1: Microsoft is headquartered there, and all sorts of things like that. 295 00:16:35,120 --> 00:16:38,040 Speaker 1: So it's a very interesting district. But it's a race 296 00:16:38,080 --> 00:16:40,520 Speaker 1: that we can win. We can actually pick this thing up. 297 00:16:40,960 --> 00:16:43,400 Speaker 1: It was a Republican seat for thirty years and then 298 00:16:43,440 --> 00:16:46,280 Speaker 1: we lost it in twenty eighteen, which, if you remember, 299 00:16:46,440 --> 00:16:49,800 Speaker 1: was a bad year for Republicans across the country. But 300 00:16:50,000 --> 00:16:52,200 Speaker 1: now we have the tail wins. This is our year 301 00:16:52,240 --> 00:16:55,520 Speaker 1: in twenty twenty two. Because presidents lose seats in their 302 00:16:55,560 --> 00:16:59,280 Speaker 1: first midterms, they just do historically, So this is an exciting, 303 00:16:59,320 --> 00:17:02,400 Speaker 1: exciting ray. It's a coin flip right now. Cook has 304 00:17:02,400 --> 00:17:05,159 Speaker 1: it as a toss up, and we're spritt into the 305 00:17:05,160 --> 00:17:07,840 Speaker 1: finish because we have a message and we're excited to 306 00:17:07,840 --> 00:17:10,560 Speaker 1: win this thing back to the Republican side. Hey Matt, 307 00:17:10,600 --> 00:17:13,440 Speaker 1: it's Buck. I'm just gonna go out on a limb here. 308 00:17:13,680 --> 00:17:19,159 Speaker 1: I can't follow every congressional race with tremendous precision, right 309 00:17:19,160 --> 00:17:22,360 Speaker 1: Beca's a lot of congressional races, yours obviously getting some attention. 310 00:17:22,400 --> 00:17:24,560 Speaker 1: We're so pleased to have you on the show. But 311 00:17:24,600 --> 00:17:26,600 Speaker 1: I'm gonna go out on a limon. Guess that your 312 00:17:26,680 --> 00:17:32,960 Speaker 1: Democrat opponent is laser focused on the insurrection of January 313 00:17:33,040 --> 00:17:35,920 Speaker 1: sixth and abortion? Am I am? I getting that one right? 314 00:17:36,240 --> 00:17:39,080 Speaker 1: Laser focused in that? Bet you you can guess what 315 00:17:39,119 --> 00:17:45,639 Speaker 1: we're laser focused on. Crime, immigration, inflation. Yeah, those are 316 00:17:45,680 --> 00:17:48,160 Speaker 1: the issues we're hearing about at the doors, Buck, We're 317 00:17:48,200 --> 00:17:51,320 Speaker 1: hearing it, and I firsthand that covered thousands of doors 318 00:17:51,359 --> 00:17:57,439 Speaker 1: by this point, literally thousands, And that's what I'm hearing. Inflation, inflation, inflation, crime, crime, crime, 319 00:17:57,800 --> 00:17:59,760 Speaker 1: do something is what they say. This is out of 320 00:18:00,080 --> 00:18:02,920 Speaker 1: troll egg. Just to put into perspective for you guys, 321 00:18:03,040 --> 00:18:06,160 Speaker 1: Egg prices in my district up here in Washington are 322 00:18:06,240 --> 00:18:10,440 Speaker 1: up forty percent. Milk and cereal are of twenty percent. 323 00:18:11,160 --> 00:18:14,639 Speaker 1: I've got four little kids twelve and under, three boys 324 00:18:14,640 --> 00:18:16,600 Speaker 1: and a girl. By the way, the girl runs out 325 00:18:16,640 --> 00:18:20,240 Speaker 1: the group. And you wouldn't believe how many eggs, cheios, 326 00:18:20,440 --> 00:18:22,720 Speaker 1: and gallons of milk we go through in the I 327 00:18:22,720 --> 00:18:26,439 Speaker 1: can imagine that. I'm also I'm also going to assume, 328 00:18:26,440 --> 00:18:28,320 Speaker 1: Matt that in your district, based on where it is 329 00:18:28,320 --> 00:18:31,280 Speaker 1: in Washington, you get a lot of people that were 330 00:18:31,320 --> 00:18:34,760 Speaker 1: either in or right around Seattle who have moved a 331 00:18:34,760 --> 00:18:37,600 Speaker 1: little bit further out, and so they're kind of fleeing 332 00:18:37,640 --> 00:18:43,879 Speaker 1: the urban decay of the Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone, etc. Yeah. No, 333 00:18:43,960 --> 00:18:46,680 Speaker 1: you're exactly right. And I grew up in Seattle, frankly, 334 00:18:46,720 --> 00:18:49,480 Speaker 1: and I don't live there anymore. I'm embarrassed of my city, 335 00:18:49,520 --> 00:18:52,480 Speaker 1: and I shouldn't be. It's such a beautiful part of 336 00:18:52,520 --> 00:18:54,919 Speaker 1: the country. It's such a beautiful city, and it's a 337 00:18:54,960 --> 00:18:58,000 Speaker 1: disaster right now. So people are they're fleeing the decay 338 00:18:58,040 --> 00:19:01,520 Speaker 1: of Seattle, coming out to the sub herbs and trying 339 00:19:01,560 --> 00:19:03,560 Speaker 1: to raise a family out here. But the problem is 340 00:19:04,000 --> 00:19:06,720 Speaker 1: that the crime, in the homelessness and the drugs are 341 00:19:06,760 --> 00:19:10,600 Speaker 1: following people out of Seattle. They're not just Seattle problems anymore. 342 00:19:10,960 --> 00:19:13,119 Speaker 1: They used to be where we could just roll our 343 00:19:13,119 --> 00:19:15,960 Speaker 1: eyes and say, okay, well, Seattle will be Seattle. Now 344 00:19:15,960 --> 00:19:17,960 Speaker 1: it's not that way anymore. It's even over on the 345 00:19:18,000 --> 00:19:20,359 Speaker 1: east side of the state. We're seeing homelessness and drug 346 00:19:20,400 --> 00:19:23,120 Speaker 1: abuse in crime. And in fact, just the other day 347 00:19:23,119 --> 00:19:26,000 Speaker 1: where we live, which is not in Seattle, by the way, 348 00:19:26,359 --> 00:19:29,520 Speaker 1: but in and around the district, we had two friends 349 00:19:29,560 --> 00:19:32,919 Speaker 1: with cars stolen out of their driveways on totally different 350 00:19:32,920 --> 00:19:36,000 Speaker 1: sides of the district within two days of each other. 351 00:19:36,480 --> 00:19:38,920 Speaker 1: And this kind of crime, this kind of property crime, 352 00:19:39,000 --> 00:19:41,720 Speaker 1: is happening everywhere and people are sick of it, which 353 00:19:41,760 --> 00:19:44,080 Speaker 1: is why, guys, we rolled out our campaign slogan a 354 00:19:44,160 --> 00:19:48,800 Speaker 1: year ago, just make crime illegal again. And it's getting 355 00:19:49,080 --> 00:19:53,000 Speaker 1: on for good reason. Because people feel like crime is 356 00:19:53,119 --> 00:19:55,879 Speaker 1: legal right now in Washington State. We've got to do 357 00:19:55,920 --> 00:19:58,840 Speaker 1: about it. Man. I'm glad you mentioned because we're we've 358 00:19:58,840 --> 00:20:01,919 Speaker 1: had a lot of people from Oregon on obviously there 359 00:20:01,920 --> 00:20:03,960 Speaker 1: are many competitive races there. We've had a lot of 360 00:20:03,960 --> 00:20:08,280 Speaker 1: people on in Washington and competitive races Seattle, Portland, San Francisco, 361 00:20:08,400 --> 00:20:10,720 Speaker 1: three of the most beautiful cities in the United States 362 00:20:10,760 --> 00:20:13,440 Speaker 1: and frankly in the world, and they've all been destroyed 363 00:20:13,760 --> 00:20:17,439 Speaker 1: at least right now by left wing political decision making. 364 00:20:17,800 --> 00:20:20,920 Speaker 1: And you mentioned Matt, you got four kids, you came out, 365 00:20:20,920 --> 00:20:24,200 Speaker 1: we met face to face because you have overlapping good 366 00:20:24,200 --> 00:20:26,880 Speaker 1: friends that actually live in my neighborhood. It was great 367 00:20:26,880 --> 00:20:28,880 Speaker 1: to meet you face to face. And for anybody out 368 00:20:28,880 --> 00:20:30,600 Speaker 1: there listening, I want you to make sure you go 369 00:20:30,640 --> 00:20:33,480 Speaker 1: support Matt. I've met him. He's a great guy. But 370 00:20:33,880 --> 00:20:36,919 Speaker 1: how much anger is there still among the moms and 371 00:20:37,040 --> 00:20:40,680 Speaker 1: dads in your district over the way that Washington State 372 00:20:40,840 --> 00:20:45,840 Speaker 1: handled COVID and the amount of school that their kids missed? Oh? Tons, 373 00:20:45,920 --> 00:20:47,920 Speaker 1: I mean, we were one of the most restrictive states 374 00:20:47,920 --> 00:20:50,720 Speaker 1: in the country, if not the most. We're still just 375 00:20:50,760 --> 00:20:54,280 Speaker 1: so you know, guys were still under emergency control by 376 00:20:54,280 --> 00:20:57,160 Speaker 1: the governor. He's lifting it in the next three days, 377 00:20:57,200 --> 00:21:00,359 Speaker 1: I think finally. Oh oh wait, just before the election 378 00:21:00,480 --> 00:21:04,919 Speaker 1: the emergency powers for in the first place. That seems 379 00:21:04,960 --> 00:21:08,320 Speaker 1: like the timing is suspect of that. Go figure, right, 380 00:21:08,480 --> 00:21:11,399 Speaker 1: But it's people are mad, people are pissed off. We 381 00:21:11,480 --> 00:21:15,280 Speaker 1: lost a year of our kids education and that's going 382 00:21:15,320 --> 00:21:17,159 Speaker 1: to catch up to One of my youngest was in 383 00:21:17,240 --> 00:21:20,240 Speaker 1: kindergarten last year and not my youngest. My second youngest 384 00:21:20,520 --> 00:21:23,600 Speaker 1: was in kindergarten last year. Anymore, A mask all year 385 00:21:24,320 --> 00:21:28,160 Speaker 1: that does that, That takes a toll on kids. Uh. 386 00:21:28,200 --> 00:21:32,680 Speaker 1: These things, these lost educational years that we have, UH, 387 00:21:32,960 --> 00:21:36,399 Speaker 1: make parents extremely upset. And it's not just Republican parents, 388 00:21:36,400 --> 00:21:39,560 Speaker 1: by the way, Democrat parents feel the same way. They 389 00:21:39,560 --> 00:21:41,880 Speaker 1: feel like they didn't have a say in their kids 390 00:21:42,040 --> 00:21:45,399 Speaker 1: education or anything to do with their kids' school. Uh. 391 00:21:45,440 --> 00:21:48,160 Speaker 1: And it's there's a residual effect there. I think you're 392 00:21:48,160 --> 00:21:51,760 Speaker 1: going to see a pushback come election day here because 393 00:21:51,800 --> 00:21:54,560 Speaker 1: there's just this palpable anger that they feel like they 394 00:21:54,560 --> 00:21:59,399 Speaker 1: don't have voices or choices in their kids education anymore. So, Matt, 395 00:21:59,440 --> 00:22:02,560 Speaker 1: as we come down the stretch run here, it's sometimes 396 00:22:02,560 --> 00:22:07,040 Speaker 1: difficult to kind of coalesce momentum nationwide. But what are 397 00:22:07,080 --> 00:22:10,720 Speaker 1: you feeling about the chances of flipping this district and 398 00:22:10,880 --> 00:22:14,359 Speaker 1: helping to send Nancy Pelosi backpacking, kicking her out of 399 00:22:14,400 --> 00:22:19,080 Speaker 1: the speaker chair. How much are the issues nationalized versus 400 00:22:19,280 --> 00:22:23,800 Speaker 1: localized in your Seattle area. Sure, I think they're very nationalized. 401 00:22:23,920 --> 00:22:26,880 Speaker 1: I think I mean it might be more pronounced here. 402 00:22:27,000 --> 00:22:29,880 Speaker 1: The crime and the drugs are more pronounced here because 403 00:22:29,880 --> 00:22:32,400 Speaker 1: we probably have it worse than most places in the country. 404 00:22:33,280 --> 00:22:36,840 Speaker 1: But we're seeing the same anger that I'm hearing about 405 00:22:36,840 --> 00:22:39,480 Speaker 1: in the national polls. Here on the ground. The top 406 00:22:39,520 --> 00:22:42,400 Speaker 1: two issues that we pull our inflation and crime over 407 00:22:42,440 --> 00:22:46,240 Speaker 1: and over and over again, so that tracks with national trends. 408 00:22:46,920 --> 00:22:49,200 Speaker 1: We're confident we're going to win this thing, and like 409 00:22:49,359 --> 00:22:51,880 Speaker 1: Kevin McCarthy's coming out for me next week to help 410 00:22:51,920 --> 00:22:55,359 Speaker 1: me get some momentum and get some people fired up. 411 00:22:56,240 --> 00:22:58,439 Speaker 1: They're putting lots of money behind me to get us 412 00:22:58,440 --> 00:23:00,159 Speaker 1: over the finish line here. In fact, this is I 413 00:23:00,200 --> 00:23:03,560 Speaker 1: think become the top ten most expensive congressional race in 414 00:23:03,600 --> 00:23:07,719 Speaker 1: the country right now. So there's a lot of momentum 415 00:23:07,760 --> 00:23:10,200 Speaker 1: and half of winning is peaking at the right time, 416 00:23:10,760 --> 00:23:12,919 Speaker 1: and we are peaking at the right time. We're going 417 00:23:12,960 --> 00:23:14,960 Speaker 1: to get over this finish line. And it's really really 418 00:23:14,960 --> 00:23:18,640 Speaker 1: exciting because people realize, guys, my opponent is not a moderate. 419 00:23:18,680 --> 00:23:21,680 Speaker 1: She tries to depend to be a moderate, but she's not. 420 00:23:21,840 --> 00:23:24,840 Speaker 1: She votes with Pelosi one hundred percent of the time, 421 00:23:25,400 --> 00:23:27,720 Speaker 1: not ninety eight or ninety seven. I am not rounding 422 00:23:27,840 --> 00:23:29,920 Speaker 1: up like she literally votes one hundred percent at a 423 00:23:29,960 --> 00:23:32,679 Speaker 1: time with Pelosi in a purple district, and that's not 424 00:23:32,720 --> 00:23:36,080 Speaker 1: what the district needs right now, Matt. We also have 425 00:23:36,160 --> 00:23:38,320 Speaker 1: had Tiffany Smiley on and I think we're going to 426 00:23:38,400 --> 00:23:40,879 Speaker 1: have her on again. She's been running a heck of 427 00:23:40,880 --> 00:23:44,400 Speaker 1: a campaign in the Senate against Patty Murray. I'm sure 428 00:23:44,440 --> 00:23:47,160 Speaker 1: you guys have cross paths a decent amount as well. 429 00:23:48,240 --> 00:23:50,320 Speaker 1: If we get a big enough red wave, I think 430 00:23:50,359 --> 00:23:52,920 Speaker 1: there's a chance Patty Murray gets swept out. What does 431 00:23:52,920 --> 00:23:57,000 Speaker 1: that say about the overall market for Republicans right now 432 00:23:57,080 --> 00:24:00,359 Speaker 1: in Washington State in general? Have you ever seen Republicans 433 00:24:00,440 --> 00:24:03,760 Speaker 1: on the ascent like this? You know, there hasn't been 434 00:24:03,800 --> 00:24:05,640 Speaker 1: this close of a Senate race in a long time, 435 00:24:05,680 --> 00:24:08,800 Speaker 1: I'll tell you that. And Tiffany's fantastic. She's got three 436 00:24:08,800 --> 00:24:12,080 Speaker 1: little kids about the same ages of mine, and she's 437 00:24:12,080 --> 00:24:15,080 Speaker 1: a fired up mom who's who's pissed off at what's 438 00:24:15,119 --> 00:24:17,200 Speaker 1: going on, kind of like my wife and I. We're 439 00:24:17,359 --> 00:24:20,439 Speaker 1: just mad about the direction that the state's going. And 440 00:24:20,480 --> 00:24:22,359 Speaker 1: I think she's got a real good chance to send 441 00:24:22,359 --> 00:24:25,000 Speaker 1: Patty Murray pack and Patty should be scared right now. 442 00:24:25,640 --> 00:24:28,920 Speaker 1: But it shows the people are angry here in Washington 443 00:24:28,960 --> 00:24:31,679 Speaker 1: and they're blaming and rightfully show the people in power. 444 00:24:32,400 --> 00:24:35,200 Speaker 1: And so I think Tiffany's going to win her race. 445 00:24:35,280 --> 00:24:37,800 Speaker 1: I really do. And I think we're going to win 446 00:24:37,840 --> 00:24:39,359 Speaker 1: our race, and I think it will be send a 447 00:24:39,400 --> 00:24:43,040 Speaker 1: signal to people across the country that even in reliably 448 00:24:43,040 --> 00:24:45,760 Speaker 1: blue Washington, people are fed up with the status quo 449 00:24:46,240 --> 00:24:50,200 Speaker 1: and they want changes. Matt Larkin running up in Washington. 450 00:24:50,440 --> 00:24:52,359 Speaker 1: We want you to win, Boddy. How can people help? 451 00:24:52,359 --> 00:24:54,480 Speaker 1: We got a big audience in Seattle area and across 452 00:24:54,480 --> 00:24:57,440 Speaker 1: the state. Sure, we'll spread the word.

I 477 00:26:11,720 --> 00:26:14,679 Speaker 1: don't want this. If you're married, you probably know what 478 00:26:14,880 --> 00:26:19,879 Speaker 1: I'm talking about. But when our Patriots supply showed up, 479 00:26:20,240 --> 00:26:23,920 Speaker 1: when we got our three month emergency food kit from 480 00:26:23,920 --> 00:26:27,879 Speaker 1: my Patriot supply, my wife said, this is awesome. I 481 00:26:27,960 --> 00:26:31,560 Speaker 1: am so glad to have this. And I thought to myself, see, 482 00:26:31,600 --> 00:26:34,640 Speaker 1: I am a good husband, after all, Because a lot 483 00:26:34,680 --> 00:26:37,679 Speaker 1: of you out there have that fear now in the 484 00:26:37,720 --> 00:26:41,160 Speaker 1: back of your minds about how crazy things are going, 485 00:26:41,720 --> 00:26:44,840 Speaker 1: and you're thinking to yourself, could it really be the 486 00:26:44,880 --> 00:26:48,680 Speaker 1: case that I can't rely on the local grocery store 487 00:26:48,720 --> 00:26:51,520 Speaker 1: to be able to feed my family that supply chains 488 00:26:51,720 --> 00:26:56,120 Speaker 1: or natural disasters or who knows what might happen after 489 00:26:56,160 --> 00:26:58,840 Speaker 1: the last couple of years, that you might just want 490 00:26:58,840 --> 00:27:01,640 Speaker 1: to know that you have got food in your house 491 00:27:01,680 --> 00:27:03,880 Speaker 1: that's gonna last for a long time, that could feed 492 00:27:03,920 --> 00:27:06,919 Speaker 1: your family for months.

There are some very close, very 517 00:28:20,600 --> 00:28:26,440 Speaker 1: important races underway right now, and these are in states 518 00:28:26,520 --> 00:28:31,199 Speaker 1: that tend to tilt blue. But we are at what 519 00:28:31,320 --> 00:28:34,800 Speaker 1: seems like the beginnings of the red wave here, my friends. 520 00:28:34,880 --> 00:28:37,840 Speaker 1: But a very very important race right now in Minnesota. 521 00:28:37,880 --> 00:28:42,400 Speaker 1: The governor's race in Minnesota is to be determined. Doctor 522 00:28:42,480 --> 00:28:45,480 Speaker 1: Scott Jensen is with us now, and doctor Jensen, we 523 00:28:45,560 --> 00:28:48,880 Speaker 1: appreciate you coming back on. You just got a big endorsement. 524 00:28:49,240 --> 00:28:51,920 Speaker 1: Tell us what the Trump endorsement means to you and 525 00:28:52,080 --> 00:28:54,960 Speaker 1: how things are looking right now when you're thrown down 526 00:28:55,080 --> 00:28:59,560 Speaker 1: up in Minnesota. Well, the recent Trafolliger Poul came out 527 00:28:59,560 --> 00:29:02,520 Speaker 1: and show us a half a point ahead. So this 528 00:29:02,600 --> 00:29:05,800 Speaker 1: has really been powerful because I think an awful lot 529 00:29:05,800 --> 00:29:08,360 Speaker 1: of people across the nation are excited about the idea 530 00:29:08,480 --> 00:29:14,040 Speaker 1: that Minnesota can basically tell democratic incumbent governor, you're done 531 00:29:14,280 --> 00:29:20,080 Speaker 1: you illadvisedly lock people down, locked people outlocked business, and 532 00:29:20,120 --> 00:29:23,160 Speaker 1: downlock kids. Don't you did it, Willy Nearly trying to 533 00:29:23,240 --> 00:29:27,800 Speaker 1: justify everything you did. You absolutely and spurred on inflation. 534 00:29:28,360 --> 00:29:31,360 Speaker 1: And from a crime perspective, Minnesota never used to have 535 00:29:31,400 --> 00:29:33,560 Speaker 1: to keep track of carjackings, but when you get almost 536 00:29:33,560 --> 00:29:35,840 Speaker 1: eight hundred in a year, people realize this is a 537 00:29:35,880 --> 00:29:38,200 Speaker 1: real thing. So I think that's what's happening, and that's 538 00:29:38,200 --> 00:29:40,239 Speaker 1: why we're a half a point ahead, and what it's 539 00:29:40,280 --> 00:29:43,320 Speaker 1: brought about for us, it's been just a resurgence of 540 00:29:43,400 --> 00:29:46,000 Speaker 1: people interested in our race. They want to know work, 541 00:29:46,040 --> 00:29:48,240 Speaker 1: where can they give? And so I'm just telling everybody 542 00:29:48,280 --> 00:29:51,800 Speaker 1: doctor Scott Jensen dot com, Dr Scott j e n 543 00:29:51,960 --> 00:29:54,600 Speaker 1: SCN dot com, help us out. The more we can 544 00:29:54,880 --> 00:29:57,560 Speaker 1: match dollar for dollar Tim Walls, the more like it 545 00:29:57,600 --> 00:29:59,520 Speaker 1: is that we're gonna win, and we're going to help 546 00:29:59,760 --> 00:30:03,960 Speaker 1: lead the nation on November eighth to a place where 547 00:30:04,080 --> 00:30:08,520 Speaker 1: conservative values, reasonable values, truth is being elevated. In terms 548 00:30:08,560 --> 00:30:12,520 Speaker 1: of endorsements, we made an intentional decision that because this 549 00:30:12,600 --> 00:30:14,920 Speaker 1: is such a Minnesota race with its own nuances, that 550 00:30:15,040 --> 00:30:19,240 Speaker 1: we would not seek the endorsements of political leaders. But 551 00:30:19,280 --> 00:30:23,280 Speaker 1: we are grateful that leaders around the nation have recognized 552 00:30:23,320 --> 00:30:25,600 Speaker 1: the fact that Matt Burke and Scott Jensen have the 553 00:30:25,600 --> 00:30:29,160 Speaker 1: ability to lead and heal Minnesota. But we've been extremely 554 00:30:29,320 --> 00:30:33,680 Speaker 1: pleased at receiving some of the endorsements from the Minnesota 555 00:30:33,760 --> 00:30:37,840 Speaker 1: Police and Peace Officers Association and the Moong community, and 556 00:30:38,040 --> 00:30:42,960 Speaker 1: we recently got an endorsement from a federation of small businesses. 557 00:30:43,000 --> 00:30:46,080 Speaker 1: And then the big one for us, it was newspapers 558 00:30:46,080 --> 00:30:51,520 Speaker 1: came out Rochester to luth Morehead A dozen different newspapers 559 00:30:51,800 --> 00:30:54,680 Speaker 1: collectively in this forum, group of newspapers came out and 560 00:30:54,760 --> 00:30:57,360 Speaker 1: endorsed us, and that was huge. And so I think 561 00:30:57,400 --> 00:31:00,240 Speaker 1: that there's there's a momentum going on. I think Tim 562 00:31:00,240 --> 00:31:04,120 Speaker 1: Wall's unwillingness to debate, sort of hunkering down in the basement, 563 00:31:04,200 --> 00:31:07,880 Speaker 1: taking a page out of Joe Biden's playbook. Even people 564 00:31:07,880 --> 00:31:11,080 Speaker 1: like Keith Ellison and ilhan Omar, they're not able to 565 00:31:11,080 --> 00:31:13,760 Speaker 1: protect Tim Wallas. At this point, he knows that he's 566 00:31:13,760 --> 00:31:17,080 Speaker 1: out there naked because Minnesotas are furious that he hasn't 567 00:31:17,120 --> 00:31:20,440 Speaker 1: been showing up for debates. So the failure when it 568 00:31:20,480 --> 00:31:24,480 Speaker 1: comes to crime. Obviously, your state was the epicenter of 569 00:31:24,520 --> 00:31:29,000 Speaker 1: the George Floyd protests and everything that spiraled out of there, 570 00:31:29,160 --> 00:31:32,959 Speaker 1: and Tim Waltz's failures not only had a lot to 571 00:31:33,000 --> 00:31:35,720 Speaker 1: do with Minnesota, but it seems like a lot of 572 00:31:35,760 --> 00:31:39,280 Speaker 1: other governors took the lead and how he responded. How 573 00:31:39,360 --> 00:31:42,360 Speaker 1: much is that resonating as you talk to voters all 574 00:31:42,400 --> 00:31:45,520 Speaker 1: over the state of Minnesota that there is a residual 575 00:31:45,600 --> 00:31:49,120 Speaker 1: anger over the fact that those months of protests and 576 00:31:49,400 --> 00:31:56,040 Speaker 1: violent protests were allowed to occur. Minnesotans recognized clearly that 577 00:31:56,400 --> 00:32:00,440 Speaker 1: at some level, Jim Wallas is the godfather of this 578 00:32:00,600 --> 00:32:03,760 Speaker 1: climate ecademic not just in Minneapolis and Saint Paul, not 579 00:32:03,800 --> 00:32:07,560 Speaker 1: just in Minnesota, but literally across our nation's borders. There 580 00:32:07,560 --> 00:32:10,000 Speaker 1: were cities that burned in our nation that would not 581 00:32:10,120 --> 00:32:13,120 Speaker 1: have needed to burn had Tim Walls been a leader. 582 00:32:13,600 --> 00:32:16,880 Speaker 1: And I think for a while people thought, well, was 583 00:32:16,920 --> 00:32:19,480 Speaker 1: at a one off situation. Did Tim Walls just make 584 00:32:19,720 --> 00:32:23,080 Speaker 1: a gross mistake? But they see the pattern. They see 585 00:32:23,160 --> 00:32:25,240 Speaker 1: that he did not put the National Guard on the 586 00:32:25,280 --> 00:32:27,200 Speaker 1: street when he could have, and when he finally did, 587 00:32:27,480 --> 00:32:30,920 Speaker 1: he ridiculed Jacob Fry, the mayor of Minneapolis. He called 588 00:32:31,160 --> 00:32:33,440 Speaker 1: the National Guard a bunch of nineteen year old cooks. 589 00:32:33,680 --> 00:32:37,479 Speaker 1: And he followed that with telling the police that they 590 00:32:37,480 --> 00:32:39,640 Speaker 1: had to stand down and left the Third Precinct burn. 591 00:32:39,840 --> 00:32:41,520 Speaker 1: And then at the State Fair a couple months ago, 592 00:32:41,520 --> 00:32:43,440 Speaker 1: he tried to blame it on the police as to 593 00:32:43,520 --> 00:32:46,600 Speaker 1: why that building was allowed to burn. And then a 594 00:32:46,600 --> 00:32:49,480 Speaker 1: couple weeks after the Third Precinct building burn, he told 595 00:32:49,480 --> 00:32:52,840 Speaker 1: the state Patrol to stand down and allow his demonstrators 596 00:32:52,840 --> 00:32:55,800 Speaker 1: to vent their anger by tearing down a statue that 597 00:32:56,120 --> 00:32:58,480 Speaker 1: belongs to the state of Minnesota had been in place 598 00:32:58,520 --> 00:33:02,800 Speaker 1: for decades. I think Minnesotas are recognizing Tim Wallas has 599 00:33:02,840 --> 00:33:05,880 Speaker 1: been literally feeding us a bunch of hogwash, and they're 600 00:33:05,880 --> 00:33:08,160 Speaker 1: standing up and saying there's no way in the world 601 00:33:08,200 --> 00:33:11,360 Speaker 1: Tim Wallas is going to get us public safety. Recently, 602 00:33:11,720 --> 00:33:17,520 Speaker 1: he said some of DFL staffers criticizing moms and dance 603 00:33:17,600 --> 00:33:21,360 Speaker 1: in suburbs were being afraid to go down town Minneapolis 604 00:33:21,600 --> 00:33:23,920 Speaker 1: with this DFL staff or sort of saying there's no 605 00:33:24,000 --> 00:33:26,120 Speaker 1: crime problem, you should be down here. Why are you 606 00:33:26,160 --> 00:33:29,840 Speaker 1: such a coward? And now that person has absolutely closed 607 00:33:29,840 --> 00:33:33,200 Speaker 1: down their Twitter account. I'm sure that they were probably 608 00:33:33,280 --> 00:33:36,760 Speaker 1: reprimanded by Wallas's team. But this is a kind of, 609 00:33:37,160 --> 00:33:40,120 Speaker 1: if you will, tone death nature of what's been going 610 00:33:40,120 --> 00:33:43,960 Speaker 1: on in the Walls campaign. We're speaking to doctor Scott Jensen. 611 00:33:44,000 --> 00:33:47,440 Speaker 1: He's running for governor in Minnesota. He can win this one, folks, 612 00:33:47,520 --> 00:33:50,720 Speaker 1: but we have our Minnesotans listening right now. They're going 613 00:33:50,760 --> 00:33:55,240 Speaker 1: to have to mobilize behind him, doctor Jensen. There are 614 00:33:55,360 --> 00:33:58,160 Speaker 1: some people out there still in the political world in 615 00:33:58,160 --> 00:34:01,560 Speaker 1: this country who are saying things like Kathy Hockel and 616 00:34:01,560 --> 00:34:05,120 Speaker 1: New York says kids should still be in masks. How 617 00:34:05,200 --> 00:34:10,000 Speaker 1: much is the backlash against not only COVID authoritarianism, but 618 00:34:10,480 --> 00:34:14,000 Speaker 1: being wrong and being authoritarian when it comes to COVID 619 00:34:14,360 --> 00:34:19,160 Speaker 1: affecting the Minnesota race. It's interesting. I think it's a 620 00:34:19,200 --> 00:34:21,879 Speaker 1: really interesting question, Thank you for asking. I think what 621 00:34:21,920 --> 00:34:25,879 Speaker 1: we saw was this, especially in like twenty twenty, we 622 00:34:25,920 --> 00:34:31,520 Speaker 1: saw anything that went against sort of the liberal news 623 00:34:31,600 --> 00:34:36,319 Speaker 1: narrative it was misinformation, and they never recanted even when 624 00:34:36,320 --> 00:34:40,080 Speaker 1: they're proven wrong. For instance, right now, I've been very 625 00:34:40,080 --> 00:34:44,040 Speaker 1: clear there will be no mandates in Minnesota whereby kids 626 00:34:44,080 --> 00:34:46,960 Speaker 1: have to take COVID nineteen vaccines in order to attend school. 627 00:34:47,040 --> 00:34:49,719 Speaker 1: I've been very clear Tim Walls won't respond to them. 628 00:34:50,040 --> 00:34:53,360 Speaker 1: But if you go back to that question that tantalized America, 629 00:34:53,520 --> 00:34:56,800 Speaker 1: and even now we're starting to see reports from the Senate, 630 00:34:56,840 --> 00:35:01,160 Speaker 1: the US Senate, where did the COVID nate virus come from? 631 00:35:01,520 --> 00:35:04,640 Speaker 1: And there were many people, including myself, that thought that 632 00:35:04,680 --> 00:35:07,840 Speaker 1: this most likely would be a natural reassortment of RNA 633 00:35:07,920 --> 00:35:14,000 Speaker 1: material between different species. But Robert Redfield, the former CDC director, 634 00:35:14,440 --> 00:35:16,880 Speaker 1: he came out after he was no longer CDC director 635 00:35:16,880 --> 00:35:20,760 Speaker 1: and said that he was uncomfortable attributing that COVID nineteen 636 00:35:20,800 --> 00:35:23,200 Speaker 1: virus to a natural reassortment and that there was more 637 00:35:23,239 --> 00:35:25,880 Speaker 1: and more data that would indicate that it probably was 638 00:35:26,120 --> 00:35:30,160 Speaker 1: a lab incident. Even today we're seeing this come out 639 00:35:30,200 --> 00:35:32,759 Speaker 1: in the news or what does that mean? Does that 640 00:35:32,800 --> 00:35:36,240 Speaker 1: mean that the people that ridiculed you or me about 641 00:35:36,280 --> 00:35:39,600 Speaker 1: spreading misinformation are they going to now apologize to us 642 00:35:39,600 --> 00:35:42,319 Speaker 1: and say, well, I guess it wasn't that way. There 643 00:35:42,400 --> 00:35:47,719 Speaker 1: was a signature sequence of amino acid basis on the 644 00:35:47,719 --> 00:35:51,359 Speaker 1: COVID nineteen virus that people recognized a long time ago 645 00:35:51,920 --> 00:35:54,360 Speaker 1: didn't seem to be consistent with that which would happen 646 00:35:54,360 --> 00:35:58,440 Speaker 1: in nature. It would potentially happen in a laboratory produced virus. 647 00:35:58,880 --> 00:36:01,279 Speaker 1: So are these people going to apologize to us or 648 00:36:01,280 --> 00:36:03,600 Speaker 1: are they just going to sort of rush that under 649 00:36:03,600 --> 00:36:08,360 Speaker 1: the rug. No, they're never going to apologize, and frankly, 650 00:36:08,600 --> 00:36:10,880 Speaker 1: many of us out there who are asking these questions 651 00:36:10,880 --> 00:36:13,799 Speaker 1: are going to be validated. I think the irony here 652 00:36:13,840 --> 00:36:16,640 Speaker 1: in many ways, as you well know, doctor Jensen, is 653 00:36:16,640 --> 00:36:18,360 Speaker 1: that people try to claim they're going to be on 654 00:36:18,400 --> 00:36:21,160 Speaker 1: the right side of history, and anybody who studies history 655 00:36:21,239 --> 00:36:24,200 Speaker 1: knows it's difficult. And I feel pretty confident that people 656 00:36:24,239 --> 00:36:26,040 Speaker 1: who locked down this country and took kids out of 657 00:36:26,040 --> 00:36:28,279 Speaker 1: school for months are going to end up on the 658 00:36:28,280 --> 00:36:32,160 Speaker 1: wrong side of history. Quite clearly they already are, doctor Jensen. 659 00:36:32,719 --> 00:36:35,279 Speaker 1: Thanks for coming on. What can people do in these 660 00:36:35,400 --> 00:36:38,399 Speaker 1: last eleven days to try to make sure that you 661 00:36:38,440 --> 00:36:42,480 Speaker 1: are able to get to that governor's office in Minnesota. 662 00:36:43,160 --> 00:36:47,200 Speaker 1: Two things we need the financial support the Democratic money 663 00:36:47,200 --> 00:36:51,359 Speaker 1: machine is alive and well. Our website is Dr Scott 664 00:36:51,560 --> 00:36:54,319 Speaker 1: j e n SCN dot com, and we'd love you 665 00:36:54,360 --> 00:36:56,319 Speaker 1: to support us and help us. But the other thing 666 00:36:56,360 --> 00:36:59,440 Speaker 1: is I would ask all Minnesotas and even all Americans 667 00:36:59,480 --> 00:37:04,720 Speaker 1: to remember then on March thirteenth, twenty twenty, our lives changed, 668 00:37:04,760 --> 00:37:07,919 Speaker 1: because that's when Governor Tim Walls issued his executive order, 669 00:37:08,200 --> 00:37:11,480 Speaker 1: this first executive order, declaring a peacetime state of emergency. 670 00:37:11,880 --> 00:37:15,959 Speaker 1: And from there he told family businesses, we're shutting you down. 671 00:37:16,360 --> 00:37:19,040 Speaker 1: He told kids, you're locked out of schools, and he 672 00:37:19,120 --> 00:37:23,360 Speaker 1: told sick, frail nursing home patients, you're going to die alone. 673 00:37:24,000 --> 00:37:27,920 Speaker 1: That day should be burned into our psyche. March thirteenth, 674 00:37:27,960 --> 00:37:31,400 Speaker 1: twenty twenty, Minnesota was no longer governed by a governor. 675 00:37:31,600 --> 00:37:36,960 Speaker 1: An emperor had taken seat. It's really well, said doctor Jensen. 676 00:37:37,040 --> 00:37:38,880 Speaker 1: We're for you. We're going to help you as as 677 00:37:38,960 --> 00:37:41,200 Speaker 1: much as we can these next eleven days. Hope everybody 678 00:37:41,239 --> 00:37:43,560 Speaker 1: listening to us in Minnesota and beyond will do so 679 00:37:43,600 --> 00:37:47,200 Speaker 1: as well. Thank you, doctor, Thank you.

One of 703 00:39:01,040 --> 00:39:04,520 Speaker 1: our favorite congressional and Senate nerds, and I say that 704 00:39:04,760 --> 00:39:08,960 Speaker 1: very affectionately. Ryan Gerdusky, as we sit here eleven days out, 705 00:39:09,680 --> 00:39:14,399 Speaker 1: has voluminous knowledge of basically all the races that are 706 00:39:14,400 --> 00:39:17,560 Speaker 1: going on all over the country in the House of 707 00:39:17,600 --> 00:39:21,359 Speaker 1: Representatives and also obviously in the Senate. So Ryan, I'm 708 00:39:21,360 --> 00:39:23,520 Speaker 1: going to start with a big broad question for you, 709 00:39:23,560 --> 00:39:26,520 Speaker 1: and thanks for making the time for us. How many 710 00:39:27,080 --> 00:39:30,640 Speaker 1: Republican seats in the House do you think the over 711 00:39:30,880 --> 00:39:33,640 Speaker 1: under on pickup is on the big map that you 712 00:39:33,719 --> 00:39:36,800 Speaker 1: kind of pay attention to, and what do you expect 713 00:39:36,800 --> 00:39:39,279 Speaker 1: to see in the Senate? How would you assess us 714 00:39:39,320 --> 00:39:42,960 Speaker 1: eleven days out over under where we're headed. So I 715 00:39:43,000 --> 00:39:46,560 Speaker 1: wrote a piece for my sub Stack, the National Populace newsletter, 716 00:39:46,560 --> 00:39:49,200 Speaker 1: which can get on sub Stack, and I basically broke 717 00:39:49,239 --> 00:39:51,880 Speaker 1: down the entire House and Senate races and what I 718 00:39:51,960 --> 00:39:55,600 Speaker 1: think is Republicans are looking at between two hundred and 719 00:39:55,600 --> 00:39:58,200 Speaker 1: twenty five seats I'm a low end, and about two 720 00:39:58,320 --> 00:40:01,160 Speaker 1: hundred and forty nine seats on the high end. My 721 00:40:01,600 --> 00:40:04,000 Speaker 1: estimate would be probably about two hundred and thirty nine 722 00:40:04,040 --> 00:40:08,120 Speaker 1: Republican House victory seats going into the November, going into 723 00:40:08,160 --> 00:40:10,799 Speaker 1: the election in eleven days, and in the Senate, I 724 00:40:10,800 --> 00:40:13,719 Speaker 1: would say, I mean there's a lot of seats literally 725 00:40:13,800 --> 00:40:17,439 Speaker 1: on a fifty fifty coin toss uh specifically the Big 726 00:40:17,480 --> 00:40:22,680 Speaker 1: four Arizona, Nevada, Pennsylvania, and Georgia. Momentum is in the 727 00:40:23,000 --> 00:40:27,880 Speaker 1: favor of Republicans in three of those states. In Arizona, 728 00:40:27,960 --> 00:40:30,560 Speaker 1: in Georgia, and in Pennsylvania, Republicans have a lot of 729 00:40:30,640 --> 00:40:33,040 Speaker 1: win in their sales. Nevada is a very difficult state. 730 00:40:33,080 --> 00:40:34,680 Speaker 1: It's one of the very few states in the Union 731 00:40:34,680 --> 00:40:38,680 Speaker 1: that typically Republicans pull better than they vote on election day. 732 00:40:39,200 --> 00:40:41,040 Speaker 1: It is also the only state in the Union where 733 00:40:41,360 --> 00:40:44,040 Speaker 1: people can go to the ballot and vote for none 734 00:40:44,080 --> 00:40:46,520 Speaker 1: of the above, which four or five percent of the 735 00:40:46,520 --> 00:40:48,960 Speaker 1: public do. They get other beds, they get other houses, 736 00:40:49,000 --> 00:40:50,520 Speaker 1: they go vote and they vote for none of the above. 737 00:40:51,000 --> 00:40:52,719 Speaker 1: Very special kind of people in the battle. I was 738 00:40:52,719 --> 00:40:54,880 Speaker 1: gonna say, what what is the what is the motivation 739 00:40:54,880 --> 00:40:56,640 Speaker 1: of the none of the above voter? How does that 740 00:40:57,080 --> 00:41:00,880 Speaker 1: hate everyone? One time? None of the above? One credit primaries? 741 00:41:01,000 --> 00:41:03,759 Speaker 1: So I mean, like you never know, there are people 742 00:41:03,800 --> 00:41:05,799 Speaker 1: who go out and they do that. I don't understand why, 743 00:41:05,840 --> 00:41:08,319 Speaker 1: but they do so Okay, So I got to ask 744 00:41:08,360 --> 00:41:11,680 Speaker 1: you about a couple of specific ones here. Ryan play 745 00:41:11,840 --> 00:41:14,359 Speaker 1: is very has been very confident. I give him full 746 00:41:14,440 --> 00:41:18,359 Speaker 1: credit all along in herschel Walker's ability to pull this 747 00:41:18,480 --> 00:41:21,080 Speaker 1: off in this Senate in Georgia. Just this week there's 748 00:41:21,520 --> 00:41:24,919 Speaker 1: more allegations are coming out herschel saying their lies, they're 749 00:41:24,960 --> 00:41:26,759 Speaker 1: they're thrown and everything. They've got it in them to 750 00:41:26,880 --> 00:41:31,680 Speaker 1: try to make it a Warnock victory. What dynamics are 751 00:41:31,719 --> 00:41:35,000 Speaker 1: playing out there right now? Based on the numbers so 752 00:41:35,200 --> 00:41:37,759 Speaker 1: right now so Georgia, I think it has to be 753 00:41:37,800 --> 00:41:40,160 Speaker 1: over a million. Early votes are already in in the 754 00:41:40,160 --> 00:41:42,960 Speaker 1: state of Georgia, so people have been voting for some 755 00:41:43,040 --> 00:41:46,280 Speaker 1: time now. The big thing to look out for going 756 00:41:46,360 --> 00:41:49,880 Speaker 1: into the election is the black turnout. Blacks vote to 757 00:41:50,000 --> 00:41:52,960 Speaker 1: ninety five percent for the Democratic Party in every election 758 00:41:53,600 --> 00:41:56,080 Speaker 1: with the essential very very few, and herschel Walker will 759 00:41:56,120 --> 00:41:59,080 Speaker 1: not break that trend according to every poll there is 760 00:41:59,080 --> 00:42:01,880 Speaker 1: to be found. So if ninety percent are voting for 761 00:42:02,040 --> 00:42:05,080 Speaker 1: the Democratic Party, the big question is do they surpass 762 00:42:05,239 --> 00:42:08,880 Speaker 1: twenty nine percent, which is what they had in twenty twenty. 763 00:42:09,120 --> 00:42:12,160 Speaker 1: As of right now, they're at thirty point seven percent. 764 00:42:12,560 --> 00:42:15,160 Speaker 1: They start off very very high, a sugar high if 765 00:42:15,160 --> 00:42:16,879 Speaker 1: thirty eight percent of the vote was the black vote, 766 00:42:16,880 --> 00:42:19,719 Speaker 1: and it isn't falling every single day the last two 767 00:42:19,760 --> 00:42:22,080 Speaker 1: days in a row, it's in twenty six percent, So 768 00:42:22,120 --> 00:42:25,280 Speaker 1: where that ultimately falls is a big question. The second 769 00:42:25,280 --> 00:42:29,239 Speaker 1: big question is how much does Kemp do better than 770 00:42:30,160 --> 00:42:35,200 Speaker 1: Walker in the collar counties outside of Atlanta, And that 771 00:42:35,360 --> 00:42:38,359 Speaker 1: is the big question. There are many counties he's not 772 00:42:38,440 --> 00:42:41,360 Speaker 1: going to win, but he has to not be destroyed 773 00:42:41,360 --> 00:42:44,840 Speaker 1: in them. So like Cobb County, Georgia, he needs to 774 00:42:44,920 --> 00:42:47,600 Speaker 1: keep his loss under ten points. In Fulton County, he 775 00:42:47,640 --> 00:42:50,040 Speaker 1: needs to keep his lost under forty points. In Gwinnette 776 00:42:50,280 --> 00:42:52,839 Speaker 1: under fifteen point. In Newton, he's got to either win 777 00:42:53,280 --> 00:42:55,560 Speaker 1: or come within a few points of Henry County less 778 00:42:55,560 --> 00:42:58,600 Speaker 1: than twenty points. If they can keep those losses at 779 00:42:58,600 --> 00:43:02,800 Speaker 1: a minimum, then the rural and exurban counties of Georgia 780 00:43:02,800 --> 00:43:07,520 Speaker 1: will carry them both to victory. So it's it's really 781 00:43:07,600 --> 00:43:09,839 Speaker 1: kind of fascinating as you look at some of these 782 00:43:09,880 --> 00:43:12,279 Speaker 1: tight races and I want to beat this drum because 783 00:43:12,320 --> 00:43:14,560 Speaker 1: O Ryan, I bet you'll agree with me. Here there 784 00:43:14,560 --> 00:43:15,839 Speaker 1: are a lot of people who are going to vote 785 00:43:15,840 --> 00:43:20,640 Speaker 1: libertarian that would otherwise vote Republican, and just those libertarian 786 00:43:20,719 --> 00:43:23,920 Speaker 1: voters could could swing the outcome in the Senate. Right, 787 00:43:23,960 --> 00:43:26,040 Speaker 1: So if you're in Nevada, if you're in Pennsylvania, if 788 00:43:26,080 --> 00:43:29,359 Speaker 1: you're in Georgia, if you're in Arizona and you're voting libertarian, 789 00:43:29,680 --> 00:43:33,239 Speaker 1: you may well cost Republicans the Senate. Maybe trade with 790 00:43:33,360 --> 00:43:36,040 Speaker 1: somebody in California or New York or some state where 791 00:43:36,040 --> 00:43:38,759 Speaker 1: it's actually not going to be closed the libertian on 792 00:43:38,760 --> 00:43:41,640 Speaker 1: the ballot in New York. So it's always the important 793 00:43:41,680 --> 00:43:45,000 Speaker 1: states to actually have these libertarians on the ballot. Um. Yeah, 794 00:43:45,040 --> 00:43:47,560 Speaker 1: I agree, it is. I mean, and they have libertarians 795 00:43:47,560 --> 00:43:50,120 Speaker 1: have I mean the libertarians in the mid two and 796 00:43:50,200 --> 00:43:53,120 Speaker 1: ten they cost us the governor's seat and Senate seat. 797 00:43:53,120 --> 00:43:55,160 Speaker 1: And it was the same guy who cost us boast 798 00:43:55,239 --> 00:43:57,880 Speaker 1: in both in Virginia for Keen Kushnell in twenty thirteen 799 00:43:57,880 --> 00:44:00,359 Speaker 1: and then the following year in twenty fourteen, and guy 800 00:44:00,400 --> 00:44:03,839 Speaker 1: costs Republicans volt Seas. I don't. I don't have never 801 00:44:03,920 --> 00:44:06,680 Speaker 1: vote a libertarian, so I can't. I'm not espousing. I 802 00:44:06,719 --> 00:44:08,680 Speaker 1: don't understand the beliefs that sit there and do the 803 00:44:08,719 --> 00:44:13,239 Speaker 1: guy running in Arizona against Um, against Kelly and UH 804 00:44:13,719 --> 00:44:17,439 Speaker 1: and the Republican is advocating for changing the consent laws. 805 00:44:17,440 --> 00:44:20,480 Speaker 1: That's his main issue as changing sexual consent laws. So 806 00:44:20,520 --> 00:44:23,360 Speaker 1: if that's your mentor issue, I guess you have a candidate. 807 00:44:23,400 --> 00:44:26,840 Speaker 1: But I don't understand some voting against somebody who like 808 00:44:26,840 --> 00:44:29,960 Speaker 1: like Blake Masters, who vote Hookers U ninety percent on 809 00:44:30,040 --> 00:44:33,840 Speaker 1: every issue. He's a fairly libertarian guy. Um, can you 810 00:44:33,920 --> 00:44:36,560 Speaker 1: tell us what's what is the situation in Arizona right 811 00:44:36,560 --> 00:44:40,839 Speaker 1: now for Masters versus Kelly Well Master. Well, they're both 812 00:44:40,920 --> 00:44:43,360 Speaker 1: under fifty percent in the polls, but all the winds 813 00:44:43,400 --> 00:44:47,279 Speaker 1: are in the sales of of Blake Masters, and Blake 814 00:44:47,360 --> 00:44:50,600 Speaker 1: Masters has been tied to Carry Lake. Carry Lake is 815 00:44:50,640 --> 00:44:53,400 Speaker 1: surging in the polls. She is very lucky to have 816 00:44:53,480 --> 00:44:56,760 Speaker 1: run against one of the worst Democrats in the entire country, 817 00:44:56,840 --> 00:45:00,640 Speaker 1: Katie Hobbs Um. But Arizona is a very fascia changing state. 818 00:45:00,719 --> 00:45:03,160 Speaker 1: A lot of Hispanics lived there, a lot of retirees 819 00:45:03,200 --> 00:45:05,799 Speaker 1: that may be leaning more Democrats. A lot of California 820 00:45:05,800 --> 00:45:08,399 Speaker 1: refugees live there now and they bring their politics with them, 821 00:45:08,560 --> 00:45:11,040 Speaker 1: He's a Hispanic wave that we had seen some early 822 00:45:11,080 --> 00:45:15,680 Speaker 1: indicators of going for GOP in unprecedented numbers in some 823 00:45:15,719 --> 00:45:19,200 Speaker 1: of these races. Is that manifesting. Is that actually happening 824 00:45:19,239 --> 00:45:22,960 Speaker 1: based on the early voting places like Arizona, Nevada, for example. Yeah, 825 00:45:23,000 --> 00:45:25,440 Speaker 1: but here's the thing is that Hispanics are not a 826 00:45:25,480 --> 00:45:28,760 Speaker 1: monolithtic group. So yeah, they could be surging in places 827 00:45:28,800 --> 00:45:31,880 Speaker 1: like Orange County, Florida, which is a very heavily Puerto 828 00:45:31,960 --> 00:45:34,040 Speaker 1: Rican community. And there are a lot of science saying 829 00:45:34,200 --> 00:45:38,560 Speaker 1: Republicans voters among Hispanks is surging. They could be surging 830 00:45:38,600 --> 00:45:41,440 Speaker 1: in the Fahda Belt of South Texas, the three congressional 831 00:45:41,440 --> 00:45:44,960 Speaker 1: districts which are Tahano Mexican. That doesn't mean they're going 832 00:45:45,000 --> 00:45:47,880 Speaker 1: to be surging everywhere at the same place all the time. 833 00:45:48,400 --> 00:45:50,400 Speaker 1: So what's going to happen is even if it's a 834 00:45:50,440 --> 00:45:53,680 Speaker 1: wave of election, that does not mean Democrats will do well. 835 00:45:53,800 --> 00:45:56,640 Speaker 1: Republicans will do better in every single district. It ebbs 836 00:45:56,640 --> 00:45:58,960 Speaker 1: and flows, and that was the truth of Democrats in 837 00:45:59,000 --> 00:46:01,720 Speaker 1: twenty eighteen or a pub twenty ten. There are places 838 00:46:01,760 --> 00:46:05,840 Speaker 1: they outperform twenty twenty when the Republican when the Hispanic 839 00:46:05,880 --> 00:46:08,640 Speaker 1: vote broke so heavily for Trump two of the areas, 840 00:46:08,640 --> 00:46:11,720 Speaker 1: they did not break as heavily for one of the Arizona. 841 00:46:11,800 --> 00:46:14,120 Speaker 1: Arizona his thanks did not break ass heavily for Trump 842 00:46:14,160 --> 00:46:16,640 Speaker 1: as they did in other places. So it's something to 843 00:46:16,719 --> 00:46:18,360 Speaker 1: sit there and see. It's something that said they're in 844 00:46:18,360 --> 00:46:21,600 Speaker 1: see the three big demographics of Arizona that will really 845 00:46:21,600 --> 00:46:24,640 Speaker 1: decide this election. Or if the Hispanic turnout was moving 846 00:46:24,719 --> 00:46:28,440 Speaker 1: towards Republicans, if the Mormons who have hated who hated 847 00:46:28,480 --> 00:46:31,080 Speaker 1: Donald Trump and voted heavily against him come home to 848 00:46:31,160 --> 00:46:35,320 Speaker 1: the Republican Party, And if retirees Blake Masters nameless just 849 00:46:35,360 --> 00:46:37,399 Speaker 1: said he wanted to privatize Social Security, if they hold 850 00:46:37,440 --> 00:46:40,400 Speaker 1: that against him. Those are the big three that I 851 00:46:40,440 --> 00:46:44,719 Speaker 1: think will decide in the suburbs of Phoenix and Scottstown 852 00:46:44,760 --> 00:46:46,680 Speaker 1: all the rest of it. All Right, Ryan, I'm a 853 00:46:46,760 --> 00:46:49,200 Speaker 1: super optimist. I think that this is going to be 854 00:46:49,239 --> 00:46:51,800 Speaker 1: a red wave that could border on a red on 855 00:46:51,880 --> 00:46:54,480 Speaker 1: the way, what's that way? The shows that you're not 856 00:46:54,520 --> 00:46:59,920 Speaker 1: from New York being a super optimist. So Ryan, Election Night, 857 00:47:00,400 --> 00:47:04,160 Speaker 1: you know everywhere everybody's gonna be gathered around watching earlier returns. 858 00:47:04,760 --> 00:47:08,040 Speaker 1: Where would you say would be Bellweather races to look 859 00:47:08,080 --> 00:47:12,279 Speaker 1: at on the East coast as the races start to 860 00:47:12,320 --> 00:47:14,600 Speaker 1: come in, that would give us an idea. This is 861 00:47:14,640 --> 00:47:18,000 Speaker 1: my new post on the National Popus letter on my subsect. 862 00:47:18,080 --> 00:47:21,160 Speaker 1: So seven o'clock actually post our closing in six but 863 00:47:21,280 --> 00:47:24,480 Speaker 1: seven o'clock poles closed. And two big states, not two 864 00:47:24,520 --> 00:47:28,480 Speaker 1: big states, but two states, Indiana and Kentucky. Kentucky has 865 00:47:28,480 --> 00:47:31,040 Speaker 1: no swing districts in them. Indiana has one, and that 866 00:47:31,160 --> 00:47:35,520 Speaker 1: is Indiana's first congressional district. It is a historically Democrat 867 00:47:35,560 --> 00:47:39,400 Speaker 1: county district. It is in the suburbs of Chicago. It 868 00:47:39,440 --> 00:47:42,239 Speaker 1: is a large black vote. We have a female black 869 00:47:42,280 --> 00:47:45,480 Speaker 1: Republican veteran running against a white guy in that district, 870 00:47:45,600 --> 00:47:48,600 Speaker 1: a white Democrat. The district is an open seat Republicans 871 00:47:48,600 --> 00:47:50,879 Speaker 1: that put a lot of money and energy in the seat. 872 00:47:50,920 --> 00:47:54,800 Speaker 1: It's a seat that moved substantially Tord Trump. It is 873 00:47:54,840 --> 00:47:58,080 Speaker 1: a mixture of Russbell voters and suburban Ie voters. What 874 00:47:58,280 --> 00:48:01,719 Speaker 1: reflects there could reflect in parts of Michigan, in other 875 00:48:01,719 --> 00:48:05,080 Speaker 1: congressionations in Illinois and in Wisconsin. So it's a very 876 00:48:05,120 --> 00:48:07,759 Speaker 1: important sea just to look at Republicans aren't expected to win, 877 00:48:08,040 --> 00:48:10,440 Speaker 1: but if they can get within ten points, it's very important. 878 00:48:10,680 --> 00:48:15,080 Speaker 1: That's Indiana one. That one. Then the other two seats 879 00:48:15,080 --> 00:48:18,080 Speaker 1: that are very important on polls closed Virginia seven and 880 00:48:18,200 --> 00:48:22,680 Speaker 1: Virginia second. Virginia second is Virginia Beach. Virginia seventh is 881 00:48:22,680 --> 00:48:26,560 Speaker 1: like the Richmond suburbs of like north central Virginia. Two 882 00:48:26,600 --> 00:48:30,320 Speaker 1: Democrats who are rising stars within the party are fighting 883 00:48:30,320 --> 00:48:33,279 Speaker 1: for their lives in both seats, and Republicans have invested very, 884 00:48:33,480 --> 00:48:37,680 Speaker 1: very heavily in both those districts. If Republicans win both, 885 00:48:38,080 --> 00:48:40,520 Speaker 1: it is an absolute red wave. It is going to 886 00:48:40,600 --> 00:48:44,360 Speaker 1: be balls to the walls, a mass sweep across the country. 887 00:48:44,640 --> 00:48:49,319 Speaker 1: If they lose both, it is really questionable how high 888 00:48:49,360 --> 00:48:53,000 Speaker 1: the Republican majority gets to the district are more likely 889 00:48:53,040 --> 00:48:55,240 Speaker 1: to win is the second. They're less likely win the seventh, 890 00:48:55,280 --> 00:48:59,319 Speaker 1: but who knows. But nonetheless those are the two big 891 00:48:59,360 --> 00:49:01,319 Speaker 1: ones that they have to win. Then as you go 892 00:49:01,360 --> 00:49:05,359 Speaker 1: to the seventh thirty hour, more states closed also are 893 00:49:05,360 --> 00:49:07,880 Speaker 1: Florida closes at that point too, and Florida you should 894 00:49:07,920 --> 00:49:10,239 Speaker 1: check out like certain counties and how the Santas is 895 00:49:10,280 --> 00:49:11,920 Speaker 1: performing in the Clay has a quick one for you. 896 00:49:12,000 --> 00:49:13,080 Speaker 1: Then I have a quick one for you. Then we 897 00:49:13,080 --> 00:49:14,960 Speaker 1: gotta go Clay go ahead. Yeah, no, Ryan, I was 898 00:49:14,960 --> 00:49:16,600 Speaker 1: just I was just gonna comment. I was gonna say, 899 00:49:16,600 --> 00:49:18,760 Speaker 1: if you want to seem really smart at your election party, 900 00:49:19,040 --> 00:49:22,840 Speaker 1: you dropped that Virginia two and Virginia seven knowledge and 901 00:49:23,000 --> 00:49:25,000 Speaker 1: if you have a Clay and Bunk listener, that is it. 902 00:49:25,120 --> 00:49:27,000 Speaker 1: In that house, they're gonna be like, man, you're really 903 00:49:27,040 --> 00:49:29,200 Speaker 1: a genius. I was just gonna cost that. Well, that's 904 00:49:29,200 --> 00:49:33,840 Speaker 1: why people should subscribe to Ryan subsect the National Populist newsletter. Ryan, 905 00:49:34,120 --> 00:49:35,719 Speaker 1: you don't even have to give me much analysis on 906 00:49:35,719 --> 00:49:38,680 Speaker 1: it or anything. Just is my man, Lee Zeldn gonna 907 00:49:38,719 --> 00:49:43,279 Speaker 1: win the New York Governor's race. I really believe so. 908 00:49:43,440 --> 00:49:45,560 Speaker 1: And I've said this over and over. Yes, I know 909 00:49:45,640 --> 00:49:49,239 Speaker 1: I sound crazy, but I do feel it. Yesterday there 910 00:49:49,320 --> 00:49:51,920 Speaker 1: was an event near where I grew up in Queens 911 00:49:51,960 --> 00:49:56,200 Speaker 1: County where it was like a forty Southeast Asian business 912 00:49:56,200 --> 00:50:00,359 Speaker 1: owners who were Democrat donors who endorsed Zelvin and they're 913 00:50:00,360 --> 00:50:03,240 Speaker 1: putting up two hundred and fifty longs of his signs 914 00:50:03,280 --> 00:50:06,640 Speaker 1: in two hundred and sorry signs and two hundred and 915 00:50:06,640 --> 00:50:09,440 Speaker 1: fifty gas stations across the state of New York. I 916 00:50:09,560 --> 00:50:11,759 Speaker 1: have to believe that there's some momentum. I mean, it 917 00:50:11,880 --> 00:50:14,560 Speaker 1: is the last chance to save the state. And I 918 00:50:14,600 --> 00:50:18,160 Speaker 1: think that the demographic changes with voting patents along Asians, 919 00:50:18,239 --> 00:50:23,520 Speaker 1: Southeast Asians, Orthodox Shows, and and Hispanics are going to 920 00:50:23,600 --> 00:50:25,560 Speaker 1: be enough to set there and put them of the edge. 921 00:50:25,680 --> 00:50:28,719 Speaker 1: I really hope so.
