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 --> 00:00:07,960 Speaker 1: Sexton Show podcast. The second hour of Clan Bucks starts now. Everybody, 3 00:00:07,960 --> 00:00:10,840 Speaker 1: thanks for hanging with us. Great to have you, as always, 4 00:00:10,840 --> 00:00:13,920 Speaker 1: appreciate the time and you get a lot to get 5 00:00:13,960 --> 00:00:16,840 Speaker 1: into today. Just to reminder, we're gonna have Kerry Lake, 6 00:00:17,040 --> 00:00:21,360 Speaker 1: who is in that pivotal contest for the governor's seat 7 00:00:21,400 --> 00:00:23,560 Speaker 1: in Arizona. She'll be joining us in the third hour 8 00:00:23,600 --> 00:00:26,799 Speaker 1: of the program. We're also going to be talking too. Well, 9 00:00:26,960 --> 00:00:30,280 Speaker 1: let's just say, if you're in a close race, likely 10 00:00:30,360 --> 00:00:32,760 Speaker 1: you're going to be hearing about them or hearing from 11 00:00:32,800 --> 00:00:34,199 Speaker 1: them rather in the next couple of days on the 12 00:00:34,200 --> 00:00:37,040 Speaker 1: show as we figure out what's happening in some of 13 00:00:37,080 --> 00:00:40,479 Speaker 1: these very very tight elections. Our friend Anna Paulina Luna 14 00:00:40,760 --> 00:00:44,640 Speaker 1: from Florida, who was part of the statewide red tidal 15 00:00:44,680 --> 00:00:50,000 Speaker 1: wave in Florida. She won her congressional race despite millions 16 00:00:50,000 --> 00:00:53,800 Speaker 1: of dollars in a congressional race being spent against her. 17 00:00:53,800 --> 00:00:56,800 Speaker 1: They really wanted to stop her and they failed. So 18 00:00:56,840 --> 00:00:59,160 Speaker 1: we'll talk to her in the third hour program as well. 19 00:01:00,120 --> 00:01:03,360 Speaker 1: Right now, though it is in fact, and Clay, you 20 00:01:03,360 --> 00:01:06,080 Speaker 1: have to hold me to my rule about Georgia. On 21 00:01:06,160 --> 00:01:09,000 Speaker 1: my mind, I'm gonna avoid it, I'm gonna stay, but 22 00:01:09,080 --> 00:01:12,880 Speaker 1: George is very important right now. It is a high 23 00:01:12,959 --> 00:01:15,880 Speaker 1: probability based on the latest count I think it is 24 00:01:15,920 --> 00:01:20,520 Speaker 1: fair to say that you're gonna see Nevada with a 25 00:01:20,600 --> 00:01:26,000 Speaker 1: Laxalt victory and Masters. Well, let's just say in Arizona, 26 00:01:26,319 --> 00:01:30,240 Speaker 1: if Blake Masters wins, I'll be very happy and perhaps 27 00:01:30,240 --> 00:01:34,520 Speaker 1: a tiny bit surprised. So it is likely that we're 28 00:01:34,520 --> 00:01:41,200 Speaker 1: gonna see Senate control decided again by this date of Georgia. 29 00:01:41,240 --> 00:01:44,280 Speaker 1: And to my earlier point, I was getting a little 30 00:01:44,280 --> 00:01:46,200 Speaker 1: fire up about it because I do think there's been 31 00:01:46,280 --> 00:01:52,600 Speaker 1: some political malpractice, certainly by the state GOP in Pennsylvania. 32 00:01:52,720 --> 00:01:57,880 Speaker 1: Georgia I think has a better look. I'm just gonna say, 33 00:01:57,960 --> 00:02:02,000 Speaker 1: look what Kemp did. Okay, Georgia's stay, GOP seems to 34 00:02:02,080 --> 00:02:05,360 Speaker 1: know what's going on, seems to be a pretty together. 35 00:02:05,480 --> 00:02:07,200 Speaker 1: Now some of you live in that state and you 36 00:02:07,240 --> 00:02:09,080 Speaker 1: feel differently by all means. Let me know, I mean, 37 00:02:09,120 --> 00:02:13,000 Speaker 1: I'm not there day in and day out. But Clay, 38 00:02:13,000 --> 00:02:15,160 Speaker 1: where we got to figure out is what happens now? 39 00:02:15,919 --> 00:02:17,840 Speaker 1: What has to be done in order to make sure 40 00:02:17,880 --> 00:02:21,720 Speaker 1: that herschel Walker defeats Raphael Warnock. To give everyone a 41 00:02:21,760 --> 00:02:24,920 Speaker 1: sense of the last time around this happened, It's going 42 00:02:24,960 --> 00:02:28,320 Speaker 1: to be a runoff that will be decided by the 43 00:02:28,960 --> 00:02:31,800 Speaker 1: December sixth, or rather that's when the runoff is on 44 00:02:31,880 --> 00:02:35,040 Speaker 1: December sixth, and it is almost a certainty that the 45 00:02:35,120 --> 00:02:38,720 Speaker 1: runoff is occurring. I mean, it basically is happening. Clay, 46 00:02:38,919 --> 00:02:41,040 Speaker 1: we like to play this fun game how much money 47 00:02:41,200 --> 00:02:45,800 Speaker 1: was spent on the special election the last time around 48 00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:52,359 Speaker 1: between between Warnock and his Republican opponent Kelly Leffler. How 49 00:02:52,440 --> 00:02:56,080 Speaker 1: much money was spent in that runoff? There were two, 50 00:02:56,200 --> 00:02:58,240 Speaker 1: so I bet it's kind of hard to even figure 51 00:02:58,400 --> 00:03:02,160 Speaker 1: up because I'm sure there was also generalized Democrat and 52 00:03:02,280 --> 00:03:07,320 Speaker 1: Republican arguments for both sides in that situation. I would 53 00:03:07,360 --> 00:03:11,839 Speaker 1: bet that they spent two hundred million dollars on that race. 54 00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:14,160 Speaker 1: It is a solid it is a solid guess, and 55 00:03:14,200 --> 00:03:17,799 Speaker 1: you're certing in the ballpark. Three hundred and sixty three 56 00:03:17,840 --> 00:03:23,640 Speaker 1: million dollars is a monumental sum of money. But people understand, 57 00:03:23,720 --> 00:03:27,760 Speaker 1: look the federal government and the legislative, the upper chamber, 58 00:03:27,800 --> 00:03:32,000 Speaker 1: so to speak, of the legislation, legislature of the most 59 00:03:32,000 --> 00:03:35,360 Speaker 1: powerful country in the world still despite what the Left 60 00:03:35,440 --> 00:03:37,600 Speaker 1: is doing to us. So this is going to be 61 00:03:37,640 --> 00:03:42,520 Speaker 1: a knockdown, drag out, super expensive, massive contest. And now 62 00:03:42,560 --> 00:03:46,280 Speaker 1: here's what I think is interesting about a lot of things, obviously, 63 00:03:46,280 --> 00:03:49,120 Speaker 1: but one thing, Clay, I wanted to workshop this one 64 00:03:49,160 --> 00:03:51,240 Speaker 1: with you, just you, me, and you know, millions of 65 00:03:51,240 --> 00:03:55,400 Speaker 1: our closest friends across the country. It looks like we're 66 00:03:55,400 --> 00:03:57,280 Speaker 1: going to be the situation that all comes down to Georgia, 67 00:03:57,440 --> 00:04:00,880 Speaker 1: Donald Trump back Herschel Walker And I'm not even sure 68 00:04:00,880 --> 00:04:03,480 Speaker 1: Herschel would would have run were it not for Trump 69 00:04:03,920 --> 00:04:06,360 Speaker 1: saying publicly I think Herschel should run and then backum 70 00:04:06,360 --> 00:04:09,480 Speaker 1: at everything else, we don't know about the Trump announcement 71 00:04:09,480 --> 00:04:12,680 Speaker 1: for next week. There's been some speculation we'll figure this 72 00:04:12,720 --> 00:04:14,520 Speaker 1: stuff out, right, we got to see what Trump is 73 00:04:14,520 --> 00:04:16,719 Speaker 1: going to do and what he thinks is best. Trump 74 00:04:16,760 --> 00:04:18,960 Speaker 1: still has a lot of money, a lot of power, 75 00:04:19,040 --> 00:04:23,679 Speaker 1: a lot of influence in the GOP. I think that 76 00:04:23,839 --> 00:04:28,440 Speaker 1: this runoff is an opportunity for Donald Trump to show 77 00:04:28,480 --> 00:04:33,800 Speaker 1: everybody that it is GOP and therefore country first in 78 00:04:33,800 --> 00:04:36,839 Speaker 1: this situation, and that he can just show us that 79 00:04:36,920 --> 00:04:38,840 Speaker 1: it's going to be all about making sure herschel gets 80 00:04:38,839 --> 00:04:42,000 Speaker 1: across that finish line. There are people who are suggesting 81 00:04:42,640 --> 00:04:45,880 Speaker 1: that Trump should stay somewhat out of it. Obviously give money, 82 00:04:45,920 --> 00:04:48,920 Speaker 1: but stay out of it publicly and really allow the 83 00:04:49,040 --> 00:04:53,240 Speaker 1: Kemp Georgia state apparatus to do a lot of the 84 00:04:53,320 --> 00:04:57,320 Speaker 1: heavy lifting for the GOP. What do you think? I 85 00:04:57,360 --> 00:04:59,880 Speaker 1: think Trump should one hundred percent not announced next week, 86 00:05:00,800 --> 00:05:04,159 Speaker 1: and I think he should say I'm staying out of 87 00:05:04,360 --> 00:05:08,680 Speaker 1: any political moves until all of the midterm races are complete. 88 00:05:09,200 --> 00:05:11,839 Speaker 1: That includes herschel Walker, who I believe is a great 89 00:05:11,880 --> 00:05:15,320 Speaker 1: candidate and should represent Georgia. I think Trump should donate 90 00:05:15,800 --> 00:05:19,080 Speaker 1: millions of dollars help raise those funds because, as you 91 00:05:19,160 --> 00:05:21,480 Speaker 1: just said, the amount of money that it's going to cost, 92 00:05:21,920 --> 00:05:25,120 Speaker 1: especially if Senate control is at issue like it was 93 00:05:25,160 --> 00:05:29,279 Speaker 1: in twenty twenty, is going to be seismic. Here's the 94 00:05:29,279 --> 00:05:33,560 Speaker 1: other thing. I think Brian Kemp did not throw his 95 00:05:33,720 --> 00:05:38,039 Speaker 1: weight behind herschel Walker. He didn't. Now you can argue 96 00:05:38,120 --> 00:05:42,120 Speaker 1: that's because he didn't want to turn the governor's race 97 00:05:42,240 --> 00:05:45,760 Speaker 1: in Georgia into any kind of referendum on the Senate. 98 00:05:45,839 --> 00:05:49,440 Speaker 1: Everything else, I don't think Brian Kemp and Herschel Walker 99 00:05:49,560 --> 00:05:52,839 Speaker 1: have some awful relationship and don't get along. I don't 100 00:05:52,839 --> 00:05:55,360 Speaker 1: think it's of a personal nature. Now that he has 101 00:05:55,400 --> 00:05:59,800 Speaker 1: won by eight points, I think Brian Kemp owes it 102 00:05:59,839 --> 00:06:04,880 Speaker 1: to the Republican Party to go all in on Herschel 103 00:06:05,320 --> 00:06:08,760 Speaker 1: and Herschel beating the Reverend Raphael Warnock. Now, I understand 104 00:06:08,800 --> 00:06:11,000 Speaker 1: he wants to focus on Stacy Abrams. He wanted to 105 00:06:11,080 --> 00:06:13,880 Speaker 1: win his race. He's done it. Now, he did it. 106 00:06:13,920 --> 00:06:15,520 Speaker 1: There was a lot of ticket splitters, more than I 107 00:06:15,520 --> 00:06:18,400 Speaker 1: thought they were going to be. Now he needs to 108 00:06:18,440 --> 00:06:21,560 Speaker 1: come out and say I need every single person who 109 00:06:21,640 --> 00:06:23,760 Speaker 1: voted for me and the Georgia governor's race to come 110 00:06:23,760 --> 00:06:26,000 Speaker 1: out and vote for Herschel in the twenty twenty two 111 00:06:26,120 --> 00:06:29,400 Speaker 1: runoff here, And I don't know if he's willing to 112 00:06:29,440 --> 00:06:32,200 Speaker 1: do that. I think there needs to be some pressure 113 00:06:32,240 --> 00:06:36,239 Speaker 1: put on Brian Kemp to really get behind Herschel Walker 114 00:06:36,720 --> 00:06:40,120 Speaker 1: and support him again. Now that Kemp has already won 115 00:06:40,200 --> 00:06:43,479 Speaker 1: his reelection comfortably, he's a governor for the next four years. 116 00:06:44,240 --> 00:06:48,280 Speaker 1: Doesn't he want a Republican to represent the state of Georgia. 117 00:06:48,400 --> 00:06:50,680 Speaker 1: I'm just gonna put this out there. We should have 118 00:06:50,760 --> 00:06:53,520 Speaker 1: him first of all congrats to him on winning a 119 00:06:53,600 --> 00:06:59,160 Speaker 1: solid victory, no doubt. Unfortunately, he did help reelect Stacy 120 00:06:59,240 --> 00:07:03,479 Speaker 1: Abrams as the fake governor of Georgia for another fake term. 121 00:07:03,920 --> 00:07:06,440 Speaker 1: But that said, we should have Kemp on the show. 122 00:07:06,440 --> 00:07:09,920 Speaker 1: We should talk to him about this because this is 123 00:07:09,920 --> 00:07:12,400 Speaker 1: going to happen really fast. There's gonna be a ton 124 00:07:12,440 --> 00:07:15,840 Speaker 1: of money. And assuming that the Democrats don't pull off 125 00:07:15,880 --> 00:07:18,520 Speaker 1: two Senate seats here out in the West, which is 126 00:07:18,560 --> 00:07:21,200 Speaker 1: possible but you know, hopefully not going to happen, it 127 00:07:21,400 --> 00:07:24,600 Speaker 1: is all going to come down to this Senate contest. 128 00:07:24,760 --> 00:07:28,480 Speaker 1: And here is a chance for Georgia and in some 129 00:07:28,560 --> 00:07:32,480 Speaker 1: way for Trump and his relationship with forget about Kemp, 130 00:07:32,520 --> 00:07:36,440 Speaker 1: with Georgia as a state right now to mend things 131 00:07:36,560 --> 00:07:38,960 Speaker 1: and get on the right side of things by delivering 132 00:07:39,320 --> 00:07:41,280 Speaker 1: a w here. I think that would be the best. 133 00:07:41,320 --> 00:07:43,760 Speaker 1: And I obviously Trump is very personally fond of Herschels, 134 00:07:43,800 --> 00:07:45,560 Speaker 1: so I know he wants to help him in every way. 135 00:07:45,800 --> 00:07:48,320 Speaker 1: This is just a question of what's the best way 136 00:07:48,320 --> 00:07:50,120 Speaker 1: to do it. Because Clay, just to put it in 137 00:07:50,160 --> 00:07:53,800 Speaker 1: perspective again, the money spend up to this point, I'm 138 00:07:53,800 --> 00:07:55,160 Speaker 1: not gonna make you guess on this one because this 139 00:07:55,200 --> 00:07:59,000 Speaker 1: is too specific, but Warnox campaign has spent one hundred 140 00:07:59,040 --> 00:08:05,240 Speaker 1: and thirty five million dollars. Walker's campaign thirty two million dollars. 141 00:08:05,240 --> 00:08:08,679 Speaker 1: This is going to be super tight, razor thin. Every 142 00:08:08,760 --> 00:08:13,200 Speaker 1: vote counts, and they are going to flood the airwaves 143 00:08:13,560 --> 00:08:15,280 Speaker 1: with all the cash that's going to pour in from 144 00:08:15,280 --> 00:08:18,200 Speaker 1: New York, California and every other Blue stronghold. Let me 145 00:08:18,240 --> 00:08:20,840 Speaker 1: also point this out, buck, how much does the narrative 146 00:08:21,040 --> 00:08:24,400 Speaker 1: of the mid term election change, not only for Republicans 147 00:08:24,440 --> 00:08:28,880 Speaker 1: but for Donald Trump personally? If Laxalt or Blake Masters 148 00:08:29,680 --> 00:08:34,000 Speaker 1: is up winning their races in Nevada or Arizona, maybe both, 149 00:08:34,520 --> 00:08:38,160 Speaker 1: and Herschel does, that's a big difference, right the sting 150 00:08:38,320 --> 00:08:42,840 Speaker 1: of the Oz loss to Fetterman. If Republicans still end 151 00:08:42,920 --> 00:08:45,680 Speaker 1: up winning the Senate, and if they do it partly 152 00:08:45,800 --> 00:08:50,120 Speaker 1: on the back of Donald Trump supported Senate candidates, even 153 00:08:50,160 --> 00:08:54,760 Speaker 1: if Trump is not being a selfless hey, I care 154 00:08:54,800 --> 00:08:58,720 Speaker 1: about party more than self person, even if he just 155 00:08:58,920 --> 00:09:03,560 Speaker 1: cares about his own standing in the Republican Party. Right now, 156 00:09:04,520 --> 00:09:09,360 Speaker 1: a Republican House and a Republican Senate flipping, it's hard 157 00:09:09,400 --> 00:09:12,199 Speaker 1: to argue that that's not a red wave right, maybe 158 00:09:12,200 --> 00:09:15,080 Speaker 1: a low red wave, But when you flip two Houses 159 00:09:15,080 --> 00:09:17,560 Speaker 1: of Congress in an election, I don't have it in 160 00:09:17,559 --> 00:09:19,920 Speaker 1: front of me historically right now, Buck, But that doesn't 161 00:09:19,960 --> 00:09:23,120 Speaker 1: happen very often, right where you're able to flip both 162 00:09:23,120 --> 00:09:25,640 Speaker 1: the House and the Senate in the same election. Now, 163 00:09:25,640 --> 00:09:28,800 Speaker 1: these were uniquely tight races. It's not like that there 164 00:09:28,840 --> 00:09:31,320 Speaker 1: was much division after twenty Yeah, I mean, those are 165 00:09:31,320 --> 00:09:35,440 Speaker 1: the two biggest wins that you can get, right. I mean, 166 00:09:35,480 --> 00:09:37,800 Speaker 1: if this is the Olympics or something in gymnastics, it's 167 00:09:37,800 --> 00:09:39,839 Speaker 1: like the all around metal right that the team can get. 168 00:09:39,840 --> 00:09:42,040 Speaker 1: I mean, if you get the House and the Senate 169 00:09:42,160 --> 00:09:44,920 Speaker 1: under GOP control, those are the two biggest ws that 170 00:09:45,000 --> 00:09:47,720 Speaker 1: we need looking good on the House side. And so 171 00:09:47,800 --> 00:09:51,400 Speaker 1: then really you're just talking about a painful Pennsylvania loss, 172 00:09:51,760 --> 00:09:53,920 Speaker 1: which is in the books now unfortunately, and I talked about. 173 00:09:54,000 --> 00:09:56,000 Speaker 1: And that's more than anyone who says, oh, that's just 174 00:09:56,080 --> 00:09:58,240 Speaker 1: Oz or that's just Trump, or that's just does not 175 00:09:58,360 --> 00:10:02,960 Speaker 1: know the terrain of the of the political battlefield in Pennsylvania. 176 00:10:03,000 --> 00:10:06,160 Speaker 1: And what really twenty twenty the Democrats, you know, we 177 00:10:06,160 --> 00:10:07,920 Speaker 1: were asleep at the wheel. I don't know what to say. 178 00:10:07,760 --> 00:10:10,640 Speaker 1: They did a lot of things. But beyond that, you're 179 00:10:10,679 --> 00:10:14,240 Speaker 1: looking at governor's races, which really only affected people in 180 00:10:14,280 --> 00:10:17,480 Speaker 1: those states, which you know stinks for those people, but 181 00:10:17,600 --> 00:10:21,000 Speaker 1: it's not you know, the Michigan governor's race doesn't really 182 00:10:21,040 --> 00:10:24,280 Speaker 1: have nationwide implications. So we can live with that, is 183 00:10:24,320 --> 00:10:25,560 Speaker 1: what I'm saying, right. I mean, it would have been 184 00:10:25,600 --> 00:10:27,599 Speaker 1: nice to pull off some governor's race upsets, would have 185 00:10:27,640 --> 00:10:29,400 Speaker 1: been great to have these album win in New York. 186 00:10:29,520 --> 00:10:31,520 Speaker 1: But if you flip the House in the Senate, it's 187 00:10:31,520 --> 00:10:34,319 Speaker 1: certainly forget about red Wave and all the metaphors. Clay, 188 00:10:34,559 --> 00:10:38,480 Speaker 1: It's a successful election if that happens. Let me also 189 00:10:38,600 --> 00:10:40,600 Speaker 1: toss this out. We're going to talk with carry Lake 190 00:10:41,040 --> 00:10:43,760 Speaker 1: at two thirty, so a little over an hour from now. 191 00:10:44,679 --> 00:10:47,679 Speaker 1: She has just shared some data it's called the tease 192 00:10:47,720 --> 00:10:50,520 Speaker 1: Buck that I think is going to be really interesting 193 00:10:50,520 --> 00:10:52,760 Speaker 1: about what might happen in Arizona. The reason why I 194 00:10:52,800 --> 00:10:57,400 Speaker 1: want to mention Carry Lake here is Blake Masters. Blake 195 00:10:57,480 --> 00:11:01,200 Speaker 1: Masters in the national media has been left for dead. Right, 196 00:11:01,280 --> 00:11:04,600 Speaker 1: nobody's even hardly talking. We are because we're like actually 197 00:11:04,640 --> 00:11:07,000 Speaker 1: looking at the data and cognizant of what might happen. 198 00:11:08,120 --> 00:11:10,280 Speaker 1: There are a lot of people out there in the 199 00:11:10,280 --> 00:11:14,120 Speaker 1: Blake Masters campaign. Carry Lake, I think it's going to 200 00:11:14,160 --> 00:11:16,280 Speaker 1: be the next governor of Arizona. I mean she's only 201 00:11:16,280 --> 00:11:18,800 Speaker 1: down like eight thousand votes now or whatever it is. 202 00:11:19,200 --> 00:11:23,200 Speaker 1: Blake Masters was trailing Carrie Lake by around four points. 203 00:11:23,920 --> 00:11:26,760 Speaker 1: Carry Lake is saying she's going to win Arizona comfortably 204 00:11:26,760 --> 00:11:29,160 Speaker 1: when all these votes are counted. She seems very confident. 205 00:11:29,200 --> 00:11:32,000 Speaker 1: We're going to talk with her here soon. But man, 206 00:11:32,679 --> 00:11:36,240 Speaker 1: think about how much different this narrative changes if either 207 00:11:36,280 --> 00:11:40,320 Speaker 1: a Laxalt or Blake Masters, or both of them. And 208 00:11:40,440 --> 00:11:42,199 Speaker 1: let me just say this. We reached out to get 209 00:11:42,200 --> 00:11:44,440 Speaker 1: Adam Laxalt on to see if you wanted to come on. 210 00:11:44,720 --> 00:11:47,400 Speaker 1: Candidates respond differently when they're in the war room watching 211 00:11:47,400 --> 00:11:50,640 Speaker 1: these numbers come in. Laxalt is not doing any interviews 212 00:11:50,720 --> 00:11:53,200 Speaker 1: right now with anyone. We got an open invite out 213 00:11:53,200 --> 00:11:55,840 Speaker 1: to him if he decides that he wants to come on. 214 00:11:55,920 --> 00:11:58,079 Speaker 1: We reached out to Carry Lake. Probably should reach out 215 00:11:58,080 --> 00:12:00,240 Speaker 1: to Blake Masters as well to see if he wants 216 00:12:00,240 --> 00:12:02,360 Speaker 1: to come on and tell us how he sees these 217 00:12:02,440 --> 00:12:05,839 Speaker 1: numbers breaking potentially in his favor. If they believe they're 218 00:12:05,840 --> 00:12:08,680 Speaker 1: going to win this race. But my point on this 219 00:12:08,840 --> 00:12:15,040 Speaker 1: is the narrative can change pretty quick. We knew Nevada, Arizona, 220 00:12:15,200 --> 00:12:17,840 Speaker 1: and Georgia we're going to be super tight and super 221 00:12:17,880 --> 00:12:21,679 Speaker 1: difficult races to flip all three of them. Right now, 222 00:12:22,280 --> 00:12:25,880 Speaker 1: still in that winnable prism. So far. The only race 223 00:12:25,960 --> 00:12:29,120 Speaker 1: that's flipped in the Senate is that imbecile John Fetterman 224 00:12:29,160 --> 00:12:32,280 Speaker 1: who got in. But things could change still a lot. 225 00:12:32,320 --> 00:12:34,680 Speaker 1: We just talked about it. Lauren Bobert just took the lead. 226 00:12:34,880 --> 00:12:36,560 Speaker 1: Look at how she was given up for dead. Now, 227 00:12:36,600 --> 00:12:38,439 Speaker 1: maybe she won't end up winning, but she's got a 228 00:12:38,520 --> 00:12:41,040 Speaker 1: round a four hundred vote lead now and almost all 229 00:12:41,080 --> 00:12:44,480 Speaker 1: those votes are in. It's going to be in the tiny, 230 00:12:44,520 --> 00:12:47,160 Speaker 1: tiny little margin. That's where I think we're gonna end 231 00:12:47,200 --> 00:12:49,200 Speaker 1: up in Nevada with the Senate. That's where I think 232 00:12:49,200 --> 00:12:52,120 Speaker 1: we're gonna end up in Arizona and with herschel And 233 00:12:52,200 --> 00:12:54,240 Speaker 1: so this thing can still change quite a lot. Buck 234 00:12:55,600 --> 00:12:57,079 Speaker 1: So we'll come back in on that in a second. 235 00:12:57,120 --> 00:12:59,280 Speaker 1: Also want to note that in Montana there was a 236 00:12:59,280 --> 00:13:01,960 Speaker 1: ballot measure, and I'm going to read you from the 237 00:13:01,960 --> 00:13:05,640 Speaker 1: ballot measure. It says this is Montana LR one thirty 238 00:13:05,640 --> 00:13:09,800 Speaker 1: one the Medical Care Requirements for Born Alive Infants Measure. 239 00:13:10,559 --> 00:13:13,640 Speaker 1: A yes vote supported this ballot measure to state that 240 00:13:13,679 --> 00:13:16,880 Speaker 1: infants born alive at any stage of development are legal persons. 241 00:13:17,679 --> 00:13:19,520 Speaker 1: That means that a baby that is outside the womb 242 00:13:19,559 --> 00:13:21,960 Speaker 1: is considered a baby, even if it is the product 243 00:13:21,960 --> 00:13:26,559 Speaker 1: of a botched abortion. That measure just failed in Montana. 244 00:13:26,800 --> 00:13:30,320 Speaker 1: That's right, that measure failed in Montana. So an effort 245 00:13:30,320 --> 00:13:34,720 Speaker 1: to give legal protection to a baby outside the womb 246 00:13:34,800 --> 00:13:39,920 Speaker 1: during an abortion procedure failed in an American state. Just happened. 247 00:13:40,520 --> 00:13:44,480 Speaker 1: The fight to preserve life, my friends, is underway right now, 248 00:13:44,600 --> 00:13:46,800 Speaker 1: and you understand that while we're trying to do everything 249 00:13:46,840 --> 00:13:49,520 Speaker 1: we can legislatively, trying to raise money, trying to raise 250 00:13:49,559 --> 00:13:53,720 Speaker 1: awareness so that the laws will protect life, we are 251 00:13:53,760 --> 00:13:56,200 Speaker 1: going to have losses like we just did in Montana, 252 00:13:56,200 --> 00:13:58,560 Speaker 1: and they're going to be challenges ahead. What can you 253 00:13:58,559 --> 00:14:01,600 Speaker 1: do in the meantime? What can you do not just legislators, 254 00:14:01,600 --> 00:14:04,600 Speaker 1: not people with big platforms on TV. You can donate 255 00:14:04,640 --> 00:14:08,480 Speaker 1: to my friends at preborn Unborn babies have just one 256 00:14:08,520 --> 00:14:10,920 Speaker 1: way of communicating with their mother, and that's with a heartbeat. 257 00:14:11,200 --> 00:14:13,760 Speaker 1: So just imagine that sound in your mind, that delicate 258 00:14:13,800 --> 00:14:17,720 Speaker 1: that amazing, godly sound, the medical miracle of an ultrasound 259 00:14:17,720 --> 00:14:20,240 Speaker 1: machine bringing it to life. It brings a smile and 260 00:14:20,360 --> 00:14:23,000 Speaker 1: instant love for that child from the mother. That connection, 261 00:14:23,040 --> 00:14:25,440 Speaker 1: that heartbeat is the focus point of the carrying and 262 00:14:25,480 --> 00:14:28,640 Speaker 1: thoughtful work done at preborn pregnancy clinics. This is what 263 00:14:28,640 --> 00:14:32,000 Speaker 1: they do. They provide free ultrasounds and care through the 264 00:14:32,040 --> 00:14:35,080 Speaker 1: first two years of the baby's life. By the way, 265 00:14:35,360 --> 00:14:38,200 Speaker 1: to mothers who are going through a difficult pregnancy and 266 00:14:38,360 --> 00:14:41,120 Speaker 1: are concerned and are making that choice right now will 267 00:14:41,160 --> 00:14:44,200 Speaker 1: they carry that baby to term?

Welcome back in. We are going 282 00:15:31,920 --> 00:15:35,840 Speaker 1: to be joined by Carrie Lake, who is very confident 283 00:15:35,920 --> 00:15:40,320 Speaker 1: she's going to be the next governor of Arizona. And 284 00:15:41,160 --> 00:15:46,280 Speaker 1: she just tweeted here in the last thirty minutes, put 285 00:15:46,280 --> 00:15:50,280 Speaker 1: a fork in it. Carry Lake's war room account shared 286 00:15:50,800 --> 00:15:54,800 Speaker 1: over three hundred and eighty four thousand mail in ballots 287 00:15:54,800 --> 00:15:59,520 Speaker 1: were dropped off on election day. These ballots are overwhelmingly 288 00:15:59,680 --> 00:16:02,640 Speaker 1: in support of Carrie Lake, and not a single one 289 00:16:02,680 --> 00:16:06,080 Speaker 1: of them has been counted yet. The race is over 290 00:16:06,360 --> 00:16:11,040 Speaker 1: for Katie Hobbs. Now we don't know what votes exactly 291 00:16:11,160 --> 00:16:14,440 Speaker 1: are outstanding. I'm just reading this from carry Lake's war room. 292 00:16:14,480 --> 00:16:16,360 Speaker 1: She's going to talk with us at two thirty about 293 00:16:16,360 --> 00:16:19,720 Speaker 1: an hour from now. We'll find out from her why 294 00:16:19,760 --> 00:16:22,600 Speaker 1: exactly she's so confident, and maybe she can break down 295 00:16:22,640 --> 00:16:26,840 Speaker 1: the numbers of outstanding ballots better. But they told a 296 00:16:26,880 --> 00:16:29,800 Speaker 1: lot of their supporters, Hey, if you're nervous about whether 297 00:16:29,840 --> 00:16:32,280 Speaker 1: your ballot's going to be counted, drop it off on 298 00:16:32,400 --> 00:16:35,520 Speaker 1: election day, and they're saying three hundred and eighty four 299 00:16:35,640 --> 00:16:38,880 Speaker 1: thousand of those ballots were dropped off on election day. 300 00:16:38,920 --> 00:16:41,040 Speaker 1: She is down about eight thousand now. But this is 301 00:16:41,080 --> 00:16:45,760 Speaker 1: significant because if they believe that they're going to win comfortably, 302 00:16:46,160 --> 00:16:49,360 Speaker 1: she's running about four points ahead right now of Blake Masters. 303 00:16:49,760 --> 00:16:53,000 Speaker 1: If Carrie Lake ends up winning in let's say Arizona 304 00:16:53,280 --> 00:16:58,200 Speaker 1: fifty fifty three to forty seven or fifty two to 305 00:16:58,320 --> 00:17:02,360 Speaker 1: forty eight, Blakes is going to be right there, potentially 306 00:17:02,400 --> 00:17:06,000 Speaker 1: winning in the Senate race too. It's ridiculous that we 307 00:17:06,040 --> 00:17:08,120 Speaker 1: still don't know these tallies, and then we've only got 308 00:17:08,160 --> 00:17:11,080 Speaker 1: seventy percent of the votes counted in Arizona. But it 309 00:17:11,119 --> 00:17:13,439 Speaker 1: sounds like a lot of that thirty percent outstanding may 310 00:17:13,480 --> 00:17:17,439 Speaker 1: well break for the good guys, certainly, hope. So I 311 00:17:17,520 --> 00:17:20,480 Speaker 1: like your optimism, Clay, I like where your heads out 312 00:17:20,480 --> 00:17:23,760 Speaker 1: on this one. I feel carry Lake looking good. Blake Masters, 313 00:17:24,280 --> 00:17:26,840 Speaker 1: we shall see, we shall see. And obviously Laxalt, I'm 314 00:17:26,840 --> 00:17:28,680 Speaker 1: reaching out the Laxalts team right now to get the 315 00:17:28,760 --> 00:17:31,320 Speaker 1: latest update for us. So I might have I might 316 00:17:31,359 --> 00:17:33,560 Speaker 1: have a tease or no, I might have that data 317 00:17:33,600 --> 00:17:35,639 Speaker 1: for us, and that is a tease. Well, that's very 318 00:17:35,640 --> 00:17:37,600 Speaker 1: good tease. I'm actually curious now I'm sitting on the 319 00:17:37,680 --> 00:17:38,800 Speaker 1: edge of my seed. You want to know what the 320 00:17:38,880 --> 00:17:41,840 Speaker 1: date is. That's how we do it. Gun owners, you 321 00:17:41,880 --> 00:17:44,760 Speaker 1: know how expensive MMOs become. Like everything else, inflation has 322 00:17:44,760 --> 00:17:47,960 Speaker 1: affected ammunition no matter where you shop for It makes 323 00:17:47,960 --> 00:17:49,520 Speaker 1: it all the more expensive for you to train and 324 00:17:49,600 --> 00:17:52,280 Speaker 1: keep your skills sharp. Now you can train without ammunition 325 00:17:52,320 --> 00:17:55,639 Speaker 1: at your home using the Mantis X. A lot of 326 00:17:55,680 --> 00:17:58,160 Speaker 1: the best shooters you'll ever come across are doing so 327 00:17:58,280 --> 00:18:02,240 Speaker 1: much of their training at home dry fire practice technique style. 328 00:18:02,640 --> 00:18:06,280 Speaker 1: That's what Mantis X is.

Welcome back to Clay 342 00:18:53,040 --> 00:18:56,359 Speaker 1: and Buck Show. We were just in Nashville, Tennessee together 343 00:18:56,440 --> 00:19:00,600 Speaker 1: for election night, and I love Nashville, Love Tennessee, great state, 344 00:19:00,640 --> 00:19:04,000 Speaker 1: great people. The governor of Tennessee is with us now, 345 00:19:04,359 --> 00:19:09,080 Speaker 1: Bill Lee. Governor Lee, appreciate you calling into Clay and Buck. Hey, 346 00:19:09,119 --> 00:19:11,640 Speaker 1: thank you for having me, Thanks for being in Nashville. 347 00:19:12,000 --> 00:19:15,720 Speaker 1: So yeah, absolutely, it's a great town. So you won 348 00:19:16,160 --> 00:19:22,200 Speaker 1: by a boatload, even more than previous Republican governors have. 349 00:19:22,800 --> 00:19:24,920 Speaker 1: Clay and I are There's a lot that we want 350 00:19:24,920 --> 00:19:28,520 Speaker 1: to get into here about just takeaways from the election nationwide. 351 00:19:28,520 --> 00:19:31,879 Speaker 1: But but first, you know so many, so many people 352 00:19:31,920 --> 00:19:35,920 Speaker 1: that have moved to Tennessee, Texas, and Florida in the 353 00:19:36,000 --> 00:19:39,359 Speaker 1: last let's say three years. Is that something that you 354 00:19:39,400 --> 00:19:42,399 Speaker 1: are seeing reflected in the data in your state that 355 00:19:42,640 --> 00:19:47,200 Speaker 1: contributed to your Has anyone ever won more Republican votes 356 00:19:47,200 --> 00:19:52,159 Speaker 1: in the state of Tennessee. Yeah, you know, I do 357 00:19:52,240 --> 00:19:55,439 Speaker 1: think people moving here makes a difference. But honestly, I 358 00:19:55,480 --> 00:20:00,520 Speaker 1: think the ideas that we have and that the messages 359 00:20:00,680 --> 00:20:03,240 Speaker 1: that we have and actually the way we've governed in 360 00:20:03,280 --> 00:20:07,000 Speaker 1: the last four years has been something that people appreciate. 361 00:20:07,080 --> 00:20:11,760 Speaker 1: I mean that I always have said. You know, in 362 00:20:11,840 --> 00:20:16,720 Speaker 1: a republic, the people decide what happens by choosing leaders 363 00:20:16,760 --> 00:20:20,360 Speaker 1: that have ideas that they like the best, and they 364 00:20:21,520 --> 00:20:26,080 Speaker 1: choose a leader, they watch his ideas, and you know, 365 00:20:26,200 --> 00:20:29,760 Speaker 1: they elect him with an even significantly greater margin than 366 00:20:29,800 --> 00:20:31,680 Speaker 1: I did when I first got in. So I think 367 00:20:31,680 --> 00:20:33,800 Speaker 1: it's the ideas that people have. I think you see 368 00:20:33,840 --> 00:20:39,359 Speaker 1: that in Florida, in Texas, in Ohio, in Georgia, and 369 00:20:39,720 --> 00:20:43,960 Speaker 1: any number of these states across the country in this 370 00:20:44,040 --> 00:20:48,879 Speaker 1: election that overwhelmingly reelected their Republican governors, and it's a 371 00:20:49,000 --> 00:20:53,040 Speaker 1: very optimistic tone among Republican governors. I'll say that. Yeah, 372 00:20:53,080 --> 00:20:55,280 Speaker 1: I want to dive into this. First of all, Governor Lee, 373 00:20:55,280 --> 00:20:57,640 Speaker 1: I'm glad you're my governor here in Tennessee, and thanks 374 00:20:57,680 --> 00:20:59,320 Speaker 1: for all the work that you've done. I hope your 375 00:20:59,320 --> 00:21:01,720 Speaker 1: wife is is feeling as well as she can. I 376 00:21:01,760 --> 00:21:05,520 Speaker 1: know she's been quite ill. When you look, you have 377 00:21:05,680 --> 00:21:08,399 Speaker 1: great relationships with Republican governors all over the country, and 378 00:21:08,440 --> 00:21:10,360 Speaker 1: you just hit on it. I mean, DeSantis won by 379 00:21:10,359 --> 00:21:14,679 Speaker 1: twenty in Florida. It looks like Beto got beat by 380 00:21:14,720 --> 00:21:18,280 Speaker 1: around twelve by Governor Greg Abbott. In Texas, Kevin Stitt 381 00:21:18,280 --> 00:21:21,159 Speaker 1: won comfortably. In Oklahoma. We were just talking about Brian 382 00:21:21,280 --> 00:21:23,800 Speaker 1: Kemp went in by eight or nine over Stacy Abrahams. 383 00:21:23,800 --> 00:21:28,479 Speaker 1: You won by thirty Ohio. DeWine won by a massive margin. 384 00:21:28,920 --> 00:21:31,760 Speaker 1: A lot of talk about what exactly came out the 385 00:21:31,800 --> 00:21:35,600 Speaker 1: message of this election. Why do you think Republican governor's 386 00:21:35,680 --> 00:21:40,399 Speaker 1: incumbents in particular dominated to such an extent on this 387 00:21:40,480 --> 00:21:46,840 Speaker 1: past Tuesday? You know, I think I think people have 388 00:21:46,920 --> 00:21:49,520 Speaker 1: come to realize in the last couple of years, in particular, 389 00:21:49,600 --> 00:21:55,399 Speaker 1: they watched states play out that governors profoundly impact their life. 390 00:21:55,880 --> 00:22:02,520 Speaker 1: Like what happened in states across the country. You know, 391 00:22:02,560 --> 00:22:05,320 Speaker 1: what happened matter a lot. It was dependent a lot 392 00:22:05,359 --> 00:22:09,199 Speaker 1: on the governors themselves, and governors have the ability to 393 00:22:09,240 --> 00:22:12,360 Speaker 1: actually get things done. In Washington, they don't get things 394 00:22:12,440 --> 00:22:16,520 Speaker 1: done generally. I mean, the general consensusives you know, Washington's ineffective. 395 00:22:16,600 --> 00:22:20,520 Speaker 1: But everybody knows that governors and their general assemblies they 396 00:22:20,560 --> 00:22:23,440 Speaker 1: get things done in their state. People like that when 397 00:22:23,480 --> 00:22:27,520 Speaker 1: they see a governor actually getting things done, and those 398 00:22:27,520 --> 00:22:31,560 Speaker 1: things are things that impact their life for good, then 399 00:22:32,359 --> 00:22:35,359 Speaker 1: they overwhelmingly want to keep that that person in office. 400 00:22:36,520 --> 00:22:39,960 Speaker 1: We're speaking to Governor Lee of Tennessee. Governor the data 401 00:22:40,000 --> 00:22:42,880 Speaker 1: that you could see or that your your team has 402 00:22:43,000 --> 00:22:47,520 Speaker 1: with respect to independence, is there anything now that the 403 00:22:47,600 --> 00:22:50,200 Speaker 1: votes have been cast in your state that was either 404 00:22:50,280 --> 00:22:53,679 Speaker 1: really noteworthy or surprising to you, just so we can 405 00:22:53,800 --> 00:22:56,159 Speaker 1: get a sense whether whether we can extrapolate that to 406 00:22:56,720 --> 00:22:58,439 Speaker 1: some of what we see in other places when it 407 00:22:58,480 --> 00:23:02,600 Speaker 1: comes to you know, younger voters coming out one way 408 00:23:02,640 --> 00:23:06,239 Speaker 1: or the other, or voters who were independent swinging one 409 00:23:06,240 --> 00:23:07,920 Speaker 1: way or the other. Is there anything that you saw 410 00:23:08,000 --> 00:23:11,880 Speaker 1: that you thought or your team saw that was really noteworthy. Well, 411 00:23:11,920 --> 00:23:14,600 Speaker 1: I think one of the things that you know for sure, 412 00:23:14,680 --> 00:23:18,000 Speaker 1: if you if you win an election, you know about 413 00:23:18,080 --> 00:23:21,040 Speaker 1: thirty five points or thirty two points or whatever the 414 00:23:21,080 --> 00:23:27,840 Speaker 1: exact number was, you have not just been voted. The 415 00:23:28,080 --> 00:23:30,400 Speaker 1: only people who voted for you weren't just your base, right. 416 00:23:30,520 --> 00:23:37,520 Speaker 1: You attracted democrats, frankly and independence, and you attracted folks 417 00:23:37,560 --> 00:23:40,200 Speaker 1: from all over the spectrum. You know that happened in Florida. 418 00:23:40,320 --> 00:23:42,760 Speaker 1: You don't win in a purple state by twenty points 419 00:23:42,920 --> 00:23:47,879 Speaker 1: if you aren't attracting a lot of people that would 420 00:23:47,880 --> 00:23:52,880 Speaker 1: traditionally not be you know, counted as your base. And 421 00:23:54,320 --> 00:23:57,879 Speaker 1: that would be true. You know that's true in Ohio. 422 00:23:58,119 --> 00:24:03,520 Speaker 1: It's in these states we've mentioned, and I think part 423 00:24:03,560 --> 00:24:08,400 Speaker 1: of it it's just regular people are not as enthralled 424 00:24:08,400 --> 00:24:11,120 Speaker 1: by what's happening in DC politics, but they actually are 425 00:24:11,320 --> 00:24:14,239 Speaker 1: very interested in what's happening in their state. And they 426 00:24:14,240 --> 00:24:18,320 Speaker 1: also know that the governor can sort of execute or 427 00:24:18,400 --> 00:24:23,080 Speaker 1: carry out their wishes, and they don't have the sense 428 00:24:23,160 --> 00:24:27,440 Speaker 1: that that's going to happen in DC. How gratifying is 429 00:24:27,480 --> 00:24:31,960 Speaker 1: a governor? COVID was a challenge for everyone out there, 430 00:24:32,200 --> 00:24:35,439 Speaker 1: but you helped to fight to ensure that Tennessee kids 431 00:24:35,520 --> 00:24:38,840 Speaker 1: were in school. How gratifying is it now as this 432 00:24:38,920 --> 00:24:42,240 Speaker 1: data comes out to see that you guys were right 433 00:24:42,600 --> 00:24:46,240 Speaker 1: and that as a result, hopefully fewer kids suffered. Then 434 00:24:46,280 --> 00:24:48,399 Speaker 1: if you had listened to some of the so called 435 00:24:48,440 --> 00:24:53,160 Speaker 1: experts and insisted that kids not be in person in school, Yeah, 436 00:24:53,200 --> 00:24:56,600 Speaker 1: I think you're the keyword. There's listen and listening to 437 00:24:56,640 --> 00:25:00,440 Speaker 1: experts or listening to parents that actually have I think, 438 00:25:02,080 --> 00:25:05,679 Speaker 1: you know, politicians of all political stripes over this country, 439 00:25:05,680 --> 00:25:08,240 Speaker 1: if they if they learned one thing from this last 440 00:25:08,280 --> 00:25:12,560 Speaker 1: election cycle from Virginia to now, it's you know, you 441 00:25:12,600 --> 00:25:15,040 Speaker 1: pay a steep political price if you don't listen to parents. 442 00:25:15,160 --> 00:25:20,320 Speaker 1: And I have a strong belief that parents know best 443 00:25:20,440 --> 00:25:25,439 Speaker 1: what their kid needs, whether it's being in school, whether 444 00:25:25,480 --> 00:25:29,080 Speaker 1: it's what they learn, what they're exposed to in the classroom, 445 00:25:29,119 --> 00:25:31,439 Speaker 1: what they're taught, what kind of school they ought to 446 00:25:31,480 --> 00:25:34,560 Speaker 1: be able to go to. I am a strong believer 447 00:25:34,840 --> 00:25:40,000 Speaker 1: in parental engagement in a big way. And it's very 448 00:25:40,000 --> 00:25:43,119 Speaker 1: gratifying when you when your gut tells you, you know, 449 00:25:43,160 --> 00:25:45,280 Speaker 1: you ought to be listening to parents, even you talked 450 00:25:45,280 --> 00:25:47,679 Speaker 1: about COVID, When your gut tells you you ought not 451 00:25:47,720 --> 00:25:49,840 Speaker 1: to leave businesses closed, you ought not to have the 452 00:25:49,880 --> 00:25:54,600 Speaker 1: government shut down businesses. You ought not to do this, 453 00:25:54,720 --> 00:25:56,119 Speaker 1: or you ought not to do that, and then you 454 00:25:56,160 --> 00:26:02,359 Speaker 1: turn around and it works. We have the fastest growing 455 00:26:02,480 --> 00:26:05,920 Speaker 1: economy of any state of the fifty states right now, 456 00:26:06,320 --> 00:26:08,840 Speaker 1: and part of that is because we had we kept 457 00:26:08,880 --> 00:26:13,240 Speaker 1: businesses open, and we're having some good outcomes in our 458 00:26:13,480 --> 00:26:17,160 Speaker 1: testing preliminary testing for schools too, and the learning loss 459 00:26:17,240 --> 00:26:20,080 Speaker 1: and the mitigation of that that we've efforts that we've made. 460 00:26:20,119 --> 00:26:24,680 Speaker 1: So yeah, it's very it's very satisfying. Last question for you, 461 00:26:24,760 --> 00:26:27,000 Speaker 1: the number one thing I get asked, and I know 462 00:26:27,080 --> 00:26:29,040 Speaker 1: I'm speaking for a lot of people who already live 463 00:26:29,080 --> 00:26:31,280 Speaker 1: in red states. Now, if you live in Florida, you 464 00:26:31,359 --> 00:26:34,400 Speaker 1: live in Texas, you live in Tennessee, places where people 465 00:26:34,400 --> 00:26:37,960 Speaker 1: are moving to a lot, is are you afraid that 466 00:26:38,000 --> 00:26:42,600 Speaker 1: the new implants, the new residents, the new transplants, are 467 00:26:42,680 --> 00:26:46,720 Speaker 1: going to bring their left wing politics with them and 468 00:26:46,960 --> 00:26:49,919 Speaker 1: destroy what has made these states so desirable in the 469 00:26:49,960 --> 00:26:53,040 Speaker 1: first place. I say that the people that I'm meeting 470 00:26:53,280 --> 00:26:56,960 Speaker 1: are coming here to a large extent because of the politics. 471 00:26:57,400 --> 00:26:59,280 Speaker 1: Is there any data to reflect that that you guys 472 00:26:59,280 --> 00:27:01,959 Speaker 1: can look at based on twenty twenty two anything that 473 00:27:02,040 --> 00:27:05,639 Speaker 1: you are experiencing in your mindset? In other words, is 474 00:27:05,640 --> 00:27:09,000 Speaker 1: Tennessee comfortably read and becoming redder with the new residents 475 00:27:09,359 --> 00:27:10,920 Speaker 1: or you worried a little bit that they're going to 476 00:27:11,000 --> 00:27:15,080 Speaker 1: bring their politics from failed states with them. Yeah, you know, 477 00:27:15,119 --> 00:27:19,120 Speaker 1: we are one of the most moved to states in America, 478 00:27:19,200 --> 00:27:22,640 Speaker 1: and we've had tens of thousands of people moving here, 479 00:27:24,480 --> 00:27:30,000 Speaker 1: and we did just have a profoundly strong election where 480 00:27:30,320 --> 00:27:34,680 Speaker 1: conservative Republicans were elected through the state House and every 481 00:27:34,720 --> 00:27:38,760 Speaker 1: we picked up a congressional seat I was in. I 482 00:27:38,840 --> 00:27:41,879 Speaker 1: was campaigning in East Tennessee last week and the Stella 483 00:27:41,920 --> 00:27:43,800 Speaker 1: came walking up to me in the sick us hand 484 00:27:43,880 --> 00:27:45,400 Speaker 1: sick in my hand. He said, Hey, I just got 485 00:27:45,400 --> 00:27:47,840 Speaker 1: to tell you. I moved my family here from New 486 00:27:47,920 --> 00:27:53,680 Speaker 1: York and when we came, I felt like I moved 487 00:27:53,680 --> 00:27:59,040 Speaker 1: back to America. And that is the sentiment of people 488 00:27:59,480 --> 00:28:03,920 Speaker 1: around the country who look around and see things they 489 00:28:03,920 --> 00:28:07,000 Speaker 1: don't like in the communities they might be living in, 490 00:28:07,680 --> 00:28:10,680 Speaker 1: and but they but they keep looking because they want 491 00:28:10,720 --> 00:28:12,920 Speaker 1: to be reminded America hadn't lost their way, and they 492 00:28:12,920 --> 00:28:16,680 Speaker 1: want to find the places that remind them that that 493 00:28:17,280 --> 00:28:19,960 Speaker 1: in fact, that's true, and they come to a place 494 00:28:19,960 --> 00:28:23,679 Speaker 1: like Tennessee and they see it play out.

Welcome back in play, Travis buck Sex to show. 533 00:30:25,360 --> 00:30:28,840 Speaker 1: We are joined now by Anna Paulina Luna. She is 534 00:30:29,520 --> 00:30:34,960 Speaker 1: one of the newest members of the Republican Congressional Group, 535 00:30:35,000 --> 00:30:37,520 Speaker 1: which I mean, it's kind of kind of a stunner. 536 00:30:37,560 --> 00:30:39,400 Speaker 1: I imagine at some point you got to get used 537 00:30:39,400 --> 00:30:41,520 Speaker 1: to it. You've been a candidate for a long time, Now, 538 00:30:42,000 --> 00:30:44,120 Speaker 1: what does it feel like to win? Where are you 539 00:30:44,240 --> 00:30:49,720 Speaker 1: going to be representing? What happens now? Well, it's completely surreal. 540 00:30:49,880 --> 00:30:52,360 Speaker 1: As you know, we had basically run a four year 541 00:30:52,400 --> 00:30:56,480 Speaker 1: long campaign. But I'm honored, I'm really excited. I can 542 00:30:56,520 --> 00:30:59,400 Speaker 1: tell you though that the work right after the general election. 543 00:30:59,440 --> 00:31:02,239 Speaker 1: It doesn't. In fact, I'm actually flying out later on 544 00:31:02,280 --> 00:31:05,600 Speaker 1: today to go to one of my first orientations. So 545 00:31:05,720 --> 00:31:07,640 Speaker 1: for what people may not know is they actually have 546 00:31:07,840 --> 00:31:10,120 Speaker 1: Congress school, and so I have to do that over 547 00:31:10,160 --> 00:31:13,200 Speaker 1: the next couple of weeks. But I'm very excited to 548 00:31:13,240 --> 00:31:15,240 Speaker 1: say that I will be joining the ranks of Jim 549 00:31:15,360 --> 00:31:18,520 Speaker 1: Jordan and Scott Perry. Byron Donald's over at the House 550 00:31:18,600 --> 00:31:22,160 Speaker 1: Freedom Caucus and so now we kind of get our 551 00:31:22,280 --> 00:31:25,600 Speaker 1: staffing together. But it's been very interesting, and honestly, it's 552 00:31:25,640 --> 00:31:27,720 Speaker 1: just only in America can you really start out, have 553 00:31:27,880 --> 00:31:31,320 Speaker 1: my story, work hard, and make it to Congress. Hey Anna, 554 00:31:31,320 --> 00:31:33,600 Speaker 1: it's Buck. We're so happy for you and Clay and I. 555 00:31:33,840 --> 00:31:37,760 Speaker 1: On an election night where there were some definite frustrations, 556 00:31:38,360 --> 00:31:40,840 Speaker 1: we were psyched to see that things went your way, 557 00:31:41,400 --> 00:31:45,320 Speaker 1: especially after the Democrats. Will they spend seven million dollars 558 00:31:45,400 --> 00:31:49,080 Speaker 1: against you? Twelve so there was a ten million dollars 559 00:31:49,080 --> 00:31:52,120 Speaker 1: superpack that came in and spent all against me, and 560 00:31:52,120 --> 00:31:54,400 Speaker 1: then my opponent had two million cash on hand, so 561 00:31:54,400 --> 00:31:56,840 Speaker 1: it was a total of twelve. And then on the 562 00:31:57,000 --> 00:32:00,000 Speaker 1: Friday before the election, when I was rallying with Charlie 563 00:32:00,080 --> 00:32:03,960 Speaker 1: Kirk and Desantist, Barack Obama dropped a robocall against me. 564 00:32:04,040 --> 00:32:07,480 Speaker 1: So they really were trying to throw everything and the 565 00:32:06,680 --> 00:32:11,120 Speaker 1: kitchen sink at me. That's remarkable. I mean, what was 566 00:32:11,160 --> 00:32:13,840 Speaker 1: it like to be a part of the We could 567 00:32:13,880 --> 00:32:17,160 Speaker 1: call it the Florida Red Wave. That's definitely real. Florida 568 00:32:17,240 --> 00:32:20,000 Speaker 1: had a massive red wave. What was it like for 569 00:32:20,040 --> 00:32:23,160 Speaker 1: you on election night to have been on your surfboard 570 00:32:23,280 --> 00:32:27,120 Speaker 1: riding along? It was pretty incredible. The one thing I 571 00:32:27,160 --> 00:32:30,200 Speaker 1: will say that was done here versus I think the 572 00:32:30,240 --> 00:32:32,959 Speaker 1: rest of the States is that because of what happened 573 00:32:33,040 --> 00:32:36,120 Speaker 1: under Governor DeSantis's leadership with COVID, we had a lot 574 00:32:36,160 --> 00:32:38,480 Speaker 1: of people that ended up moving here. But they didn't 575 00:32:38,480 --> 00:32:41,040 Speaker 1: just move and not get active. They got very active 576 00:32:41,080 --> 00:32:44,120 Speaker 1: at the local level in politics. And so while you 577 00:32:44,240 --> 00:32:48,360 Speaker 1: had these massively funded, basically smear campaigns by the Democrats, 578 00:32:48,440 --> 00:32:50,280 Speaker 1: right like they were saying that I was a pro 579 00:32:50,440 --> 00:32:53,440 Speaker 1: life extremist, extremist which I loved children, to be honest, 580 00:32:53,920 --> 00:32:56,320 Speaker 1: and they were, you know, saying that I was an insurrectionist, 581 00:32:56,360 --> 00:32:59,160 Speaker 1: all this crazy stuff. I was talking directly to voters 582 00:32:59,160 --> 00:33:02,680 Speaker 1: about the economy, and so I will say that grassroots 583 00:33:02,760 --> 00:33:05,720 Speaker 1: does matter. That I was going out with my team directly, 584 00:33:05,760 --> 00:33:08,400 Speaker 1: and by the end of the election, we had personally 585 00:33:08,480 --> 00:33:12,000 Speaker 1: knocked over fifty thousand doors and made over eighty nine 586 00:33:12,000 --> 00:33:14,800 Speaker 1: thousand phone calls. So grassroots does work, but it is hard. 587 00:33:15,560 --> 00:33:17,200 Speaker 1: You just hit on something that we were talking with 588 00:33:17,200 --> 00:33:20,000 Speaker 1: the governor of Tennessee, Bill Lee, about a lot of 589 00:33:20,040 --> 00:33:23,840 Speaker 1: residents of states that loved being there. Florida, Texas, Tennessee, 590 00:33:23,880 --> 00:33:26,920 Speaker 1: for example, have seen a massive influx of people from 591 00:33:26,920 --> 00:33:30,200 Speaker 1: outside of state. What you're basically suggesting there is what 592 00:33:30,240 --> 00:33:34,240 Speaker 1: I've also experienced. People aren't moving and trying to change it. 593 00:33:34,480 --> 00:33:37,720 Speaker 1: They're moving and saying, thank you for being the way 594 00:33:37,720 --> 00:33:40,280 Speaker 1: that you are. Let me help you. Did you see 595 00:33:40,280 --> 00:33:43,160 Speaker 1: that in your district? Even the new transplant, so to speak, 596 00:33:43,480 --> 00:33:45,640 Speaker 1: maybe redder even than some of the people that they 597 00:33:45,680 --> 00:33:49,280 Speaker 1: were coming in to live alongside. Absolutely the people that 598 00:33:49,400 --> 00:33:51,560 Speaker 1: moved at least to Pinellas County and I saw this 599 00:33:51,600 --> 00:33:54,320 Speaker 1: on social media with people posting I went from being 600 00:33:54,360 --> 00:33:57,240 Speaker 1: in California where it was all basically blue dat ballot, 601 00:33:57,240 --> 00:33:59,160 Speaker 1: and I am honored to be casting my vote today 602 00:33:59,200 --> 00:34:03,040 Speaker 1: for Annapolina Luna. We saw that, we saw people getting active, 603 00:34:03,120 --> 00:34:06,360 Speaker 1: and it actually did create somewhat of an anomaly here 604 00:34:06,360 --> 00:34:09,000 Speaker 1: in Panels County because what we saw over the last 605 00:34:09,120 --> 00:34:12,520 Speaker 1: year is the county actually flipped. Not only did our 606 00:34:12,560 --> 00:34:15,120 Speaker 1: state flip, but the county flips. And these people are 607 00:34:15,200 --> 00:34:17,960 Speaker 1: getting very active, I think largely in part because some 608 00:34:18,000 --> 00:34:20,640 Speaker 1: of them end up losing their businesses due to the lockdowns, 609 00:34:21,040 --> 00:34:24,480 Speaker 1: no doubt. So we're going to Anna Paulina Luna, Anna, 610 00:34:24,560 --> 00:34:27,279 Speaker 1: what now? What next? What do you tell people to 611 00:34:27,360 --> 00:34:31,759 Speaker 1: make them right? If anyone has concerns, because you know, 612 00:34:31,840 --> 00:34:33,960 Speaker 1: Biden's still talking about how we need to defend our 613 00:34:34,000 --> 00:34:37,319 Speaker 1: democracy and Democrats aren't quite doing a victory lap because 614 00:34:37,320 --> 00:34:38,880 Speaker 1: it looks like they're going to lose the House and 615 00:34:38,920 --> 00:34:41,560 Speaker 1: who knows about the Senate. But they're feeling better they 616 00:34:41,560 --> 00:34:43,680 Speaker 1: did a week ago, which means our side has some 617 00:34:43,719 --> 00:34:47,520 Speaker 1: big questions. Do you feel optimistic? I mean, what's what's 618 00:34:47,520 --> 00:34:51,319 Speaker 1: in your sights? I do mainly because not only have 619 00:34:51,440 --> 00:34:54,279 Speaker 1: I been able to really flip this seat and bring 620 00:34:54,280 --> 00:34:56,640 Speaker 1: it back to the residents of Panels County, which is 621 00:34:56,680 --> 00:35:00,520 Speaker 1: where it rightfully should be, but I also know and 622 00:35:00,719 --> 00:35:03,480 Speaker 1: understand not just how to do national outreach, but how 623 00:35:03,520 --> 00:35:06,960 Speaker 1: to win at a grassroots election level. So I'm not 624 00:35:07,040 --> 00:35:09,960 Speaker 1: just thinking about myself. I am going to be and 625 00:35:10,000 --> 00:35:12,839 Speaker 1: I know it's going to be, you know, difficult, time wise, 626 00:35:12,840 --> 00:35:14,640 Speaker 1: but I'm going to do it. I'm going to be 627 00:35:14,680 --> 00:35:17,960 Speaker 1: helping other candidates like myself get elected across the country 628 00:35:18,040 --> 00:35:21,520 Speaker 1: because I believe that, you know, for each one teach one, 629 00:35:21,600 --> 00:35:23,520 Speaker 1: you have to raise up other people. That was a 630 00:35:23,640 --> 00:35:26,239 Speaker 1: quote by Denzel Washington, and I believe that, you know, 631 00:35:26,280 --> 00:35:28,560 Speaker 1: if God put this in my path and I know 632 00:35:28,560 --> 00:35:30,279 Speaker 1: how to help others, I'm going to do it. I 633 00:35:30,360 --> 00:35:32,759 Speaker 1: just want to be clear, Clay that when Anna's a 634 00:35:32,840 --> 00:35:35,919 Speaker 1: superstar in Congress and one that's going to happen, we 635 00:35:35,920 --> 00:35:38,920 Speaker 1: were like we were like to scouts in the stands 636 00:35:39,080 --> 00:35:42,120 Speaker 1: watching some of her early games before she made it 637 00:35:42,160 --> 00:35:44,000 Speaker 1: to the pros.
