Welcome an I number two Election Eve edition, 3 00:00:08,640 --> 00:00:11,520 Speaker 1: Clay Travis Buck Sexton Show. Appreciate all of you hanging 4 00:00:11,560 --> 00:00:17,880 Speaker 1: out with us all over the country. Go vote, prepare 5 00:00:18,040 --> 00:00:22,320 Speaker 1: your day to vote. First thing tomorrow when I wake up, 6 00:00:22,360 --> 00:00:25,439 Speaker 1: I'm going right into my local polling place, Buck. I 7 00:00:25,560 --> 00:00:28,520 Speaker 1: love to vote on election day. Something really cool about it. 8 00:00:29,000 --> 00:00:30,960 Speaker 1: I'll see if any of my kids will go with me, 9 00:00:31,000 --> 00:00:32,879 Speaker 1: because I used to go with my parents back in 10 00:00:32,920 --> 00:00:35,600 Speaker 1: the day. I think that's important to teach your kids 11 00:00:35,600 --> 00:00:37,479 Speaker 1: the importance of going to vote. So I know a 12 00:00:37,479 --> 00:00:40,160 Speaker 1: lot of you out there grandparents maybe doing it as well. 13 00:00:40,800 --> 00:00:43,159 Speaker 1: Taking your kid with you to show them what the 14 00:00:43,240 --> 00:00:46,760 Speaker 1: process is like is very cool. I don't know if 15 00:00:46,800 --> 00:00:48,360 Speaker 1: any of my kids will go with me. They're starting 16 00:00:48,400 --> 00:00:50,920 Speaker 1: to get older now and they don't think going to 17 00:00:51,000 --> 00:00:52,760 Speaker 1: vote with that is as cool as it was when 18 00:00:52,800 --> 00:00:55,680 Speaker 1: they were younger. But we've done that a lot, And 19 00:00:56,360 --> 00:00:59,200 Speaker 1: I said, as we went to break, you guys know 20 00:00:59,680 --> 00:01:02,720 Speaker 1: that I love looking at all the polls, and I 21 00:01:02,800 --> 00:01:06,480 Speaker 1: love looking at the gambling odds and giving you the 22 00:01:06,560 --> 00:01:11,960 Speaker 1: absolute latest. When you consider both of those scenarios. So 23 00:01:13,440 --> 00:01:17,479 Speaker 1: it's gonna be tight, Buck, It's gonna be so tight 24 00:01:18,880 --> 00:01:22,440 Speaker 1: in the Senate House, the question is how big is 25 00:01:22,440 --> 00:01:26,080 Speaker 1: the majority going to be? Again, presuming everybody goes out 26 00:01:26,080 --> 00:01:27,920 Speaker 1: and vote. All of you need to go out and vote. 27 00:01:28,280 --> 00:01:30,160 Speaker 1: But the Republicans are going to take back the House. 28 00:01:30,200 --> 00:01:31,960 Speaker 1: And I think you'd be hard pressed to find any 29 00:01:32,040 --> 00:01:35,279 Speaker 1: Democrat out there who is really other than like Nancy 30 00:01:35,280 --> 00:01:37,440 Speaker 1: Pelosi in the head of the d Triple C. I 31 00:01:37,440 --> 00:01:40,080 Speaker 1: don't think there's anybody out there's even trying to argue it. 32 00:01:40,160 --> 00:01:44,080 Speaker 1: And basically they are forced to argue it, so I understand, 33 00:01:44,160 --> 00:01:45,920 Speaker 1: but they don't even believe it based on all the 34 00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:49,960 Speaker 1: data that they see Senate. Senate is going to be 35 00:01:50,040 --> 00:01:54,200 Speaker 1: on a razor's edge in a bunch of different places 36 00:01:54,680 --> 00:02:05,040 Speaker 1: New Hampshire, Pennsylvania, Georgia, Arizona. Those five states are going 37 00:02:05,120 --> 00:02:11,080 Speaker 1: to be potentially a hundred votes, thousand votes something really 38 00:02:11,200 --> 00:02:14,399 Speaker 1: right there on the razor's edge. Same thing as true 39 00:02:14,960 --> 00:02:18,800 Speaker 1: Oregon with Christine Draisen. We're gonna talk with Tutor Dixon 40 00:02:18,880 --> 00:02:22,440 Speaker 1: next hour in Michigan. Her Race leez Eldon, who we 41 00:02:22,480 --> 00:02:25,960 Speaker 1: talked with last week in New York run Ketty out 42 00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:32,840 Speaker 1: in New Mexico, Michael's up in Wisconsin, the Lombardo. I 43 00:02:32,919 --> 00:02:38,120 Speaker 1: believe in Nevada there are so many tight governor races too, 44 00:02:39,320 --> 00:02:42,800 Speaker 1: all of them, Buck, I believe are going to come 45 00:02:42,840 --> 00:02:47,280 Speaker 1: down to a few thousand votes, and whether many of 46 00:02:47,320 --> 00:02:51,080 Speaker 1: you out there and your friends and family are motivated 47 00:02:51,120 --> 00:02:53,480 Speaker 1: to get out to the polls all over the country. 48 00:02:54,000 --> 00:02:56,520 Speaker 1: The way that this goes, and you well know it 49 00:02:56,560 --> 00:03:00,720 Speaker 1: as well, Buck, based on so many different elections, one 50 00:03:00,800 --> 00:03:03,839 Speaker 1: or two points turns into a wave, three or four 51 00:03:03,960 --> 00:03:08,240 Speaker 1: turns into a tsunami, because in that scenario you end 52 00:03:08,320 --> 00:03:10,720 Speaker 1: up sweeping so many people out of office and so 53 00:03:10,760 --> 00:03:15,040 Speaker 1: many people into office. I am super optimistic about where 54 00:03:15,040 --> 00:03:17,840 Speaker 1: we are, but all the gambling markets and all the 55 00:03:17,880 --> 00:03:21,839 Speaker 1: polls are basically frozen. They really haven't moved very much 56 00:03:21,880 --> 00:03:25,280 Speaker 1: at all in three or four days now, and it's 57 00:03:25,280 --> 00:03:27,800 Speaker 1: time to go out and make your voices heard. And 58 00:03:27,840 --> 00:03:32,280 Speaker 1: if you do, I believe that starting on Wednesday, there 59 00:03:32,400 --> 00:03:35,840 Speaker 1: is going to be rending of garments all over the 60 00:03:35,920 --> 00:03:39,760 Speaker 1: country by Democrats and left wingers. I mentioned this in 61 00:03:39,800 --> 00:03:46,960 Speaker 1: the last hour the Senate race between Coleman and Frankin 62 00:03:47,680 --> 00:03:51,040 Speaker 1: some years back, a few elections ago, it was out 63 00:03:51,080 --> 00:03:56,280 Speaker 1: of two point nine million votes cast. Three hundred and 64 00:03:56,360 --> 00:04:00,760 Speaker 1: twelve votes was what the courts there upheld as the 65 00:04:00,760 --> 00:04:04,120 Speaker 1: margin of victory, three hundred and twelve out of almost 66 00:04:04,320 --> 00:04:07,880 Speaker 1: three million votes. And this was a recent Senate election. 67 00:04:07,960 --> 00:04:11,920 Speaker 1: So just everybody, I think it's important to hear this because, yeah, 68 00:04:12,040 --> 00:04:13,640 Speaker 1: things are looking good right now, but a lot of 69 00:04:13,680 --> 00:04:16,640 Speaker 1: these polls are within the margin of error. I mean 70 00:04:16,640 --> 00:04:18,800 Speaker 1: you're looking at I was looking today, Clay, at the 71 00:04:19,040 --> 00:04:22,679 Speaker 1: Real Clear Politics average of polls, and you know, Hassan 72 00:04:22,880 --> 00:04:26,680 Speaker 1: is up one in New Hampshire. That means either you know, 73 00:04:26,720 --> 00:04:29,240 Speaker 1: we could wake up on Wednesday or Tuesday night, could 74 00:04:29,279 --> 00:04:32,120 Speaker 1: could come to close on either side, could pull that 75 00:04:32,200 --> 00:04:36,080 Speaker 1: one off. You're looking at a number of races where 76 00:04:36,080 --> 00:04:39,039 Speaker 1: the margins are so tight, you know Whitmerer up I 77 00:04:39,080 --> 00:04:42,120 Speaker 1: think two or three most recently. Anything that's within three 78 00:04:42,160 --> 00:04:45,080 Speaker 1: points means it's effectively could go either way. And it 79 00:04:45,200 --> 00:04:47,320 Speaker 1: all comes this is where this is where we all had. 80 00:04:47,600 --> 00:04:50,279 Speaker 1: It all comes down to turnout, Clay. It's like whoever 81 00:04:50,400 --> 00:04:52,919 Speaker 1: has more touchdowns at the end of the game is 82 00:04:52,920 --> 00:04:55,279 Speaker 1: the winner. It all comes down to turnout, which I 83 00:04:55,279 --> 00:04:57,919 Speaker 1: think is an important thing to keep in mind as 84 00:04:58,000 --> 00:05:01,119 Speaker 1: much as we've all heard that a million times, and 85 00:05:01,720 --> 00:05:03,440 Speaker 1: you know you are gonna you are gonna see a 86 00:05:03,520 --> 00:05:10,000 Speaker 1: very interesting situation play out. I believe here where just 87 00:05:10,040 --> 00:05:12,120 Speaker 1: this morning, this came out here here, here's the best 88 00:05:12,120 --> 00:05:15,800 Speaker 1: example of this that I can find offhand. And it 89 00:05:15,880 --> 00:05:19,760 Speaker 1: is all of a sudden, they're starting to say, there's 90 00:05:19,800 --> 00:05:23,240 Speaker 1: the possibility you see the Politico Yes, I tweeted it out. Yeah, 91 00:05:23,240 --> 00:05:27,000 Speaker 1: Politico is starting to be like, you know, guys, it's 92 00:05:27,000 --> 00:05:33,400 Speaker 1: actually not that hard for people to hack into election results, 93 00:05:33,440 --> 00:05:39,479 Speaker 1: and you know, they're starting to sew the seeds of doubt. Now. 94 00:05:39,600 --> 00:05:41,840 Speaker 1: I don't think that they're necessary. I don't know how 95 00:05:41,839 --> 00:05:44,080 Speaker 1: far they're gonna take this. We have to see what 96 00:05:44,160 --> 00:05:48,920 Speaker 1: the reality will be in the end of the Democrats 97 00:05:49,040 --> 00:05:51,280 Speaker 1: and how they do and all this. But they're already 98 00:05:51,320 --> 00:05:55,120 Speaker 1: starting v you know, elections are not really always that secure. 99 00:05:55,720 --> 00:05:57,880 Speaker 1: I don't know how much we can really trust them. 100 00:05:58,320 --> 00:06:02,640 Speaker 1: They're running stories Clay on voting machine hacking and how 101 00:06:02,680 --> 00:06:06,880 Speaker 1: easy it is at Politico right now. I don't think 102 00:06:06,920 --> 00:06:09,840 Speaker 1: that's a coincidence. No, And one of the things you'll 103 00:06:09,839 --> 00:06:13,040 Speaker 1: see is how quickly the people who claim denying election 104 00:06:13,160 --> 00:06:17,280 Speaker 1: results is a direct threat to our democracy, will immediately 105 00:06:17,320 --> 00:06:21,599 Speaker 1: start denying election results. I'm actually fascinated to think about 106 00:06:21,640 --> 00:06:24,640 Speaker 1: who will be the first person to decide to trot 107 00:06:24,680 --> 00:06:30,840 Speaker 1: this out because Democrats are becoming increasingly deranged in terms 108 00:06:30,839 --> 00:06:33,680 Speaker 1: of what they are saying. And I think I wanted 109 00:06:33,680 --> 00:06:35,560 Speaker 1: to play this for me. Could I just read the 110 00:06:35,600 --> 00:06:37,200 Speaker 1: quote before you play it? Just because I was trying 111 00:06:37,240 --> 00:06:39,920 Speaker 1: to find this the twenty twenty presidential election. This from 112 00:06:39,920 --> 00:06:42,880 Speaker 1: Politico today. I know you tweeted about this was rife 113 00:06:42,880 --> 00:06:46,120 Speaker 1: with allegations of voting machine hacks that were later debunked. 114 00:06:46,760 --> 00:06:50,520 Speaker 1: Yet there are real risks that hackers could tunnel into 115 00:06:50,600 --> 00:06:57,839 Speaker 1: voting equipment and other election infrastructure to undermine Tuesday's vote. Oh, Clay, 116 00:06:58,160 --> 00:07:02,120 Speaker 1: just in time for the maybe it's a hack. Remember 117 00:07:02,160 --> 00:07:07,560 Speaker 1: we had Michael Beschelos and Joy read deranged commentary on 118 00:07:07,720 --> 00:07:12,840 Speaker 1: MSNBC last week. Rob Reiner, who I think is a director, right, 119 00:07:12,920 --> 00:07:16,240 Speaker 1: Isn't that his primary way Hollywood directors? Yeah, like some 120 00:07:16,320 --> 00:07:18,640 Speaker 1: things that people like a lot of. I'm gonna tell you, 121 00:07:18,800 --> 00:07:20,520 Speaker 1: I wait, let me see what there before. I I'm 122 00:07:20,520 --> 00:07:23,440 Speaker 1: gonna upset some Rob Reiner movie fans. Probably what did 123 00:07:23,440 --> 00:07:28,800 Speaker 1: he direct when Harry met Sally. Yeah, back in the day, 124 00:07:29,120 --> 00:07:32,840 Speaker 1: right overrated. I'm just gonna say it overrated. Oh no, wait, 125 00:07:32,920 --> 00:07:35,400 Speaker 1: he did the Princess Bride. Damn it. All right, that's 126 00:07:35,440 --> 00:07:37,840 Speaker 1: he's got. He's got some good but it's been like 127 00:07:37,960 --> 00:07:41,760 Speaker 1: thirty years since he really did anything. Well, he's now 128 00:07:42,000 --> 00:07:47,600 Speaker 1: a super left wing main emotionally disturbed. Yeah, he's seventy 129 00:07:47,600 --> 00:07:52,280 Speaker 1: five years old. He went on MSNBC and I want 130 00:07:52,320 --> 00:07:54,600 Speaker 1: you to hear what he said. He said, I'm giving 131 00:07:54,640 --> 00:07:56,760 Speaker 1: you a paraphrase here before you hear his real words. 132 00:07:57,280 --> 00:08:01,800 Speaker 1: Republicans are literally killing people to win the midterms. Listen 133 00:08:02,080 --> 00:08:05,760 Speaker 1: the other side. Reality doesn't mean anything. They're only interested 134 00:08:05,800 --> 00:08:08,760 Speaker 1: in power, and they're only interested in and they'll do 135 00:08:08,840 --> 00:08:12,320 Speaker 1: anything to get the power. They'll they're willing to kill, 136 00:08:12,320 --> 00:08:15,080 Speaker 1: literally kill, to get the power. You can't have a 137 00:08:15,120 --> 00:08:18,400 Speaker 1: conversation with them. The only thing we can do is 138 00:08:18,600 --> 00:08:21,200 Speaker 1: try to hold onto the House. Add a couple of 139 00:08:21,240 --> 00:08:23,360 Speaker 1: Senate seats going to be very hard. But if we 140 00:08:23,440 --> 00:08:26,640 Speaker 1: don't do that, this might be the last election we 141 00:08:26,720 --> 00:08:32,439 Speaker 1: have in a democratic democracy, in a democracy, the last 142 00:08:32,480 --> 00:08:35,520 Speaker 1: election we have buck and they want to come after 143 00:08:35,600 --> 00:08:40,080 Speaker 1: Republicans for their language. This is MSNBC. Beschelov said that 144 00:08:40,080 --> 00:08:42,000 Speaker 1: they were going to take your kids and kill them. 145 00:08:42,320 --> 00:08:46,200 Speaker 1: Republicans would if they won the election. Now, Rob Ryner's 146 00:08:46,200 --> 00:08:49,640 Speaker 1: going on MSNBC and saying, this may be the last 147 00:08:49,640 --> 00:08:53,880 Speaker 1: election we have if Republicans win. It's insane, Clay, I mean, 148 00:08:54,080 --> 00:08:56,440 Speaker 1: I wish that some of these Hollywood lives. Is there 149 00:08:56,440 --> 00:08:58,720 Speaker 1: a way that we could we could set up a bet. 150 00:08:59,240 --> 00:09:01,000 Speaker 1: I would give him great odds. I'd put it, I 151 00:09:01,080 --> 00:09:03,240 Speaker 1: put it gonna have an election in twenty four I'd 152 00:09:03,280 --> 00:09:05,720 Speaker 1: I'd put whatever I've got in my shaving his account 153 00:09:05,800 --> 00:09:09,400 Speaker 1: right now up against whatever Rob Reiner's got, and uh, 154 00:09:09,440 --> 00:09:11,640 Speaker 1: you know we'll do it that way. Well, actually he's 155 00:09:11,640 --> 00:09:13,000 Speaker 1: got He's got a lot of That's not the point 156 00:09:13,000 --> 00:09:14,760 Speaker 1: that you know what I'm saying, Like, I'll put it, 157 00:09:14,760 --> 00:09:17,520 Speaker 1: I'll get him match one Dan, Yes, yeah, exactly, I'll 158 00:09:17,559 --> 00:09:19,840 Speaker 1: match what I can.

How's it looking right now? Man? 205 00:11:39,800 --> 00:11:41,360 Speaker 1: We just want to We want you to tell everybody 206 00:11:41,360 --> 00:11:43,640 Speaker 1: what you're seeing, what it's like on the ground, and 207 00:11:43,840 --> 00:11:50,640 Speaker 1: how you're gonna pull this out. Do we do? We 208 00:11:50,679 --> 00:12:00,480 Speaker 1: have Adam? Oh, but I think he's there. What's the 209 00:12:00,559 --> 00:12:02,440 Speaker 1: latest on the ground so far as you can tell, 210 00:12:06,480 --> 00:12:08,240 Speaker 1: Maybe you can't hear us. I thought I heard him 211 00:12:08,240 --> 00:12:09,920 Speaker 1: there for a sex So we will figure out what's 212 00:12:09,960 --> 00:12:13,640 Speaker 1: going on. Adam Laxalt in an incredibly close race right 213 00:12:13,679 --> 00:12:17,400 Speaker 1: now in Nevada. Buck I saw the Wall Street Journal 214 00:12:17,760 --> 00:12:21,120 Speaker 1: had a great piece this morning talking about how the 215 00:12:21,200 --> 00:12:25,040 Speaker 1: latest data reflected that Hispanic voters continue to break in 216 00:12:25,080 --> 00:12:29,120 Speaker 1: the direction of Republicans as well as black voters, and 217 00:12:29,240 --> 00:12:32,520 Speaker 1: that that could be a tremendous difference maker in many 218 00:12:32,559 --> 00:12:35,320 Speaker 1: of these close elections, particularly Nevada where there's such a 219 00:12:35,360 --> 00:12:39,280 Speaker 1: huge Hispanic popula, the Hispanic population in some of those 220 00:12:39,600 --> 00:12:42,720 Speaker 1: key swing states. We've been seeing this trend stretching back 221 00:12:42,920 --> 00:12:45,880 Speaker 1: to last summer July. You started to see some of 222 00:12:45,880 --> 00:12:48,800 Speaker 1: the numbers, and it's just economy and crime, right and 223 00:12:48,840 --> 00:12:52,079 Speaker 1: actually to some degree, illegal immigration too, which is so interesting. 224 00:12:52,080 --> 00:12:54,840 Speaker 1: Because the Democrats would have you believe that anybody who 225 00:12:54,840 --> 00:12:57,600 Speaker 1: thinks we should have a secure, an orderly southern border 226 00:12:58,000 --> 00:13:00,880 Speaker 1: is a racist. Meanwhile, there are actually a lot of 227 00:13:01,000 --> 00:13:04,920 Speaker 1: legal Hispanic immigrants, Latino immigrants to America or you know, 228 00:13:04,960 --> 00:13:08,480 Speaker 1: first or second generation, who were like, no, actually, we 229 00:13:08,559 --> 00:13:12,040 Speaker 1: want there to be a legal, secure, safe border as well. 230 00:13:12,160 --> 00:13:15,600 Speaker 1: We don't want this madness at the border five million 231 00:13:15,679 --> 00:13:17,880 Speaker 1: illegally the last couple of years. So it's a big shift. 232 00:13:17,880 --> 00:13:19,440 Speaker 1: Do we have Adam. By the way, have we figured 233 00:13:19,440 --> 00:13:23,120 Speaker 1: this out yet, mister lack salts, We're gonna say it's 234 00:13:23,160 --> 00:13:25,240 Speaker 1: some kind of conspiracy of the left to keep you 235 00:13:25,320 --> 00:13:27,360 Speaker 1: off the airwaves for a second. Here, How are you doing, sir? 236 00:13:28,880 --> 00:13:31,439 Speaker 1: We feel great. We just finished the two week tour 237 00:13:31,720 --> 00:13:34,880 Speaker 1: bus tour across the States, and as I'd like to 238 00:13:34,920 --> 00:13:37,520 Speaker 1: point out, we closed in my hometown of Reno with 239 00:13:37,559 --> 00:13:42,280 Speaker 1: about three hundred people, while Senator Mastow was campaigning with 240 00:13:42,600 --> 00:13:45,640 Speaker 1: Bill Clinton in Las Vegas to about fifty to one 241 00:13:45,720 --> 00:13:49,959 Speaker 1: hundred people. So it certainly shows the enthusiasm gap and 242 00:13:50,120 --> 00:13:54,200 Speaker 1: also shows the desperation of Senator Cortez Mastow trying to 243 00:13:54,240 --> 00:13:57,400 Speaker 1: bring in the likes of Barack Obama and Jimmy Kimmel 244 00:13:57,559 --> 00:14:01,520 Speaker 1: and all these folks, because their turnout looks super weak, 245 00:14:02,120 --> 00:14:05,080 Speaker 1: and our folks are engaged and excited to help save 246 00:14:05,120 --> 00:14:08,120 Speaker 1: our country and save our great state. For everybody listening 247 00:14:08,120 --> 00:14:10,760 Speaker 1: to us right now in Nevada, you mentioned turnout looks weak. 248 00:14:10,880 --> 00:14:13,640 Speaker 1: I know there are early voting numbers out now that 249 00:14:13,640 --> 00:14:17,440 Speaker 1: that's officially been completed that look very very good for 250 00:14:17,720 --> 00:14:21,160 Speaker 1: Nevada as we get ready for official election day tomorrow. 251 00:14:21,280 --> 00:14:23,440 Speaker 1: What can you tell us about those numbers and what 252 00:14:23,480 --> 00:14:27,160 Speaker 1: they suggest to you in your campaign as election day 253 00:14:27,200 --> 00:14:32,520 Speaker 1: looms tomorrow. Yeah, we'll look early vote. Democrats vote heavier 254 00:14:32,600 --> 00:14:36,560 Speaker 1: than Republicans and they only have just over a one 255 00:14:36,680 --> 00:14:39,640 Speaker 1: point lead after all of early vote. That's mail in 256 00:14:39,760 --> 00:14:43,040 Speaker 1: person for two weeks. And as long as our people 257 00:14:43,080 --> 00:14:45,280 Speaker 1: turn out on election day, and we have an awful 258 00:14:45,320 --> 00:14:48,440 Speaker 1: lot of election day voters all across our state, we 259 00:14:48,520 --> 00:14:50,920 Speaker 1: will win this race, and we'll win it convincingly. So 260 00:14:51,000 --> 00:14:53,720 Speaker 1: people got to get out and votes. You got some 261 00:14:53,880 --> 00:14:56,640 Speaker 1: rain in Vegas, you got some snow in northern Nevada. 262 00:14:57,000 --> 00:14:59,440 Speaker 1: We can't let weather hold us back, and I'm sure 263 00:14:59,480 --> 00:15:02,400 Speaker 1: we won't because the six are as high as they've 264 00:15:02,400 --> 00:15:05,240 Speaker 1: ever been for us to save our state. Adam, when 265 00:15:05,280 --> 00:15:08,320 Speaker 1: you start looking at these early returns on election night, 266 00:15:08,720 --> 00:15:12,560 Speaker 1: what area of the state is going to tell you, hey, 267 00:15:12,640 --> 00:15:14,880 Speaker 1: we won this race. We didn't win this race. I 268 00:15:14,920 --> 00:15:17,400 Speaker 1: know the whole state matters, but where is kind of 269 00:15:17,440 --> 00:15:21,000 Speaker 1: a window into what the margin might be like that 270 00:15:21,120 --> 00:15:25,400 Speaker 1: your data people and you will be looking at. Yeah, 271 00:15:25,440 --> 00:15:29,440 Speaker 1: it always comes down to, you know, Las Vegas and 272 00:15:29,760 --> 00:15:32,600 Speaker 1: rural Nevada, and so we need to make sure rural 273 00:15:32,640 --> 00:15:36,640 Speaker 1: Nevada comes out. And so far they've been steady and 274 00:15:36,840 --> 00:15:39,320 Speaker 1: a lot more to go on election day. And then 275 00:15:39,360 --> 00:15:43,760 Speaker 1: as long as we lose Vegas by less than ten points, 276 00:15:44,280 --> 00:15:47,000 Speaker 1: then we're going to win this race. And you know, 277 00:15:47,080 --> 00:15:51,320 Speaker 1: certainly the numbers are well below ten right now. Just 278 00:15:51,680 --> 00:15:56,000 Speaker 1: you know our Republican the Democrat. We also believe that 279 00:15:56,040 --> 00:16:00,120 Speaker 1: we are winning independence. There's been five consecutive polls. We 280 00:16:00,120 --> 00:16:06,840 Speaker 1: were up six with Emerson, six with insider advantage, Susquehanna five. 281 00:16:07,760 --> 00:16:10,400 Speaker 1: All of the polls in the last week had me 282 00:16:10,480 --> 00:16:15,720 Speaker 1: winning independence by double digits. We're win independence by double digits. 283 00:16:15,760 --> 00:16:20,160 Speaker 1: It's a game over, of course, and if you believe 284 00:16:20,280 --> 00:16:24,640 Speaker 1: as we do, that more Democrats are voting for me 285 00:16:25,040 --> 00:16:29,120 Speaker 1: than Republicans voting for her, then we win that way 286 00:16:29,160 --> 00:16:33,160 Speaker 1: as well. I'll add a third way if the Hispanic 287 00:16:33,280 --> 00:16:37,080 Speaker 1: vote has moved from her winning in sixteen by forty 288 00:16:37,200 --> 00:16:41,320 Speaker 1: points to what we're consistently seeing about a ten point margin. 289 00:16:41,840 --> 00:16:45,440 Speaker 1: If that holds, then it's game over. And so we've 290 00:16:45,480 --> 00:16:48,280 Speaker 1: got a lot of pass to victory. We are ahead 291 00:16:48,320 --> 00:16:52,080 Speaker 1: today after early votes by our own numbers, and we 292 00:16:52,160 --> 00:16:54,720 Speaker 1: feel like we're gonna win election day and have a good, 293 00:16:54,720 --> 00:16:58,960 Speaker 1: comfortable win and bring this thing home. We've only got 294 00:16:59,040 --> 00:17:01,480 Speaker 1: about forty five and so we're speaking to Adam Laxalt, 295 00:17:01,520 --> 00:17:03,080 Speaker 1: and Adam, I just want to know for the people 296 00:17:03,080 --> 00:17:06,080 Speaker 1: of Nevada, it's the day before game day, what do 297 00:17:06,119 --> 00:17:11,480 Speaker 1: they need to know? They need to know that we've 298 00:17:11,480 --> 00:17:15,600 Speaker 1: had two years of misery under Joe Biden and Cassim 299 00:17:15,640 --> 00:17:21,680 Speaker 1: Cortez Masto as well as Governor Steve Siciliac shutdown highest 300 00:17:21,720 --> 00:17:26,800 Speaker 1: gas prices we've ever had, inflation altim highs, and sent 301 00:17:26,920 --> 00:17:30,640 Speaker 1: in all overdoses thanks to their open border. All that 302 00:17:30,800 --> 00:17:35,520 Speaker 1: can stop in the next twenty four hours everyone gets 303 00:17:35,560 --> 00:17:39,200 Speaker 1: out and votes, we will have a resounding victory and 304 00:17:39,359 --> 00:17:42,959 Speaker 1: start the march to taking our country back and our 305 00:17:43,040 --> 00:17:46,800 Speaker 1: state back and putting a check on Joe Biden as 306 00:17:47,000 --> 00:17:50,040 Speaker 1: radical leftist march. They've been taken us in the last 307 00:17:50,080 --> 00:17:54,240 Speaker 1: few years, Adam laxalts to our Nevada listeners, go out 308 00:17:54,240 --> 00:17:56,320 Speaker 1: there and get it down, Adam. We'll talk to you soon, 309 00:17:56,560 --> 00:17:59,040 Speaker 1: talk to you about some congratulations hopefully, Thank you so much. 310 00:18:00,080 --> 00:18:02,680 Speaker 1: Founding fathers had a lot to say about freedom and democracy. 311 00:18:02,760 --> 00:18:05,080 Speaker 1: That was certainly two of their highest priorities when our 312 00:18:05,119 --> 00:18:07,280 Speaker 1: nation came into existence. But they spend a lot of 313 00:18:07,280 --> 00:18:10,800 Speaker 1: time paying attention to the rights of people, immigration, foreign policy, 314 00:18:10,920 --> 00:18:13,800 Speaker 1: even marriage. It's fascinating to see many of the same 315 00:18:13,840 --> 00:18:17,120 Speaker 1: topics still in the conversation some two hundred plus years later, 316 00:18:17,119 --> 00:18:18,960 Speaker 1: but here we are. What do they have to say 317 00:18:19,000 --> 00:18:22,399 Speaker 1: about those topics?

Can't wait to see you. 335 00:19:21,280 --> 00:19:24,719 Speaker 1: What is your election eve forecast? How do you think 336 00:19:24,760 --> 00:19:26,520 Speaker 1: Republicans are going to do in the Senate? What do 337 00:19:26,560 --> 00:19:29,800 Speaker 1: you have your eye on? I think with a good night, 338 00:19:30,000 --> 00:19:33,480 Speaker 1: we're at fifty two, and if we head to one 339 00:19:33,520 --> 00:19:37,080 Speaker 1: of those nights where it is more of the tsunami 340 00:19:37,160 --> 00:19:40,280 Speaker 1: than a wave and more like a blowout, it is 341 00:19:40,320 --> 00:19:44,400 Speaker 1: going to be at fifty four. But I play, I've 342 00:19:44,400 --> 00:19:46,760 Speaker 1: got to tell you everywhere of gone, and I know 343 00:19:46,880 --> 00:19:49,920 Speaker 1: that you and Buck have heard this too. People are 344 00:19:49,960 --> 00:19:53,400 Speaker 1: talking about inflation, they're talking about the open border, they're 345 00:19:53,440 --> 00:19:58,960 Speaker 1: talking about crime, they're talking about parental right, And I 346 00:19:59,200 --> 00:20:04,880 Speaker 1: personally what troubles people so much is how rapidly the 347 00:20:04,960 --> 00:20:09,960 Speaker 1: Biden administration and this group of Democrats has transformed the country, 348 00:20:10,119 --> 00:20:14,040 Speaker 1: changed the country. And I had somebody yesterday at church 349 00:20:14,080 --> 00:20:16,600 Speaker 1: to grab my arm and said, Marshall, when do we 350 00:20:16,720 --> 00:20:21,679 Speaker 1: bottom out on all of this? Because they are just 351 00:20:21,760 --> 00:20:29,640 Speaker 1: so fearful of losing businesses and losing freedoms, and they're 352 00:20:29,760 --> 00:20:34,160 Speaker 1: just saying tomorrow is their chance to weigh in and 353 00:20:34,359 --> 00:20:39,520 Speaker 1: repudiate so much of what the Biden administration has done. Hey, 354 00:20:39,520 --> 00:20:43,399 Speaker 1: Senator Blackburnard's buck. If we do get to a great 355 00:20:43,520 --> 00:20:45,800 Speaker 1: night for the GOP in the Senate, which Clay and 356 00:20:45,840 --> 00:20:49,600 Speaker 1: I are certainly hoping and I wouldn't say quite confident 357 00:20:49,640 --> 00:20:53,760 Speaker 1: will happen, but we're optimistic that it may happen. So 358 00:20:53,840 --> 00:20:57,600 Speaker 1: we're talking fifty three, maybe even fifty four seats. A 359 00:20:57,640 --> 00:20:59,720 Speaker 1: lot of people see this and they say, well, okay, 360 00:20:59,760 --> 00:21:02,320 Speaker 1: but Biden still the president. What does it mean if 361 00:21:02,320 --> 00:21:04,360 Speaker 1: you get to y Let's say we hit that big 362 00:21:04,440 --> 00:21:07,000 Speaker 1: number of fifty four, which would be a pretty amazing 363 00:21:07,400 --> 00:21:10,800 Speaker 1: midterm for the Republicans under the circumstances, What does that 364 00:21:10,920 --> 00:21:13,280 Speaker 1: mean for the Senate? What are you able to do? 365 00:21:13,440 --> 00:21:15,800 Speaker 1: And why is it so important that we get those 366 00:21:15,880 --> 00:21:18,000 Speaker 1: numbers as high as we can On the geop side, 367 00:21:19,160 --> 00:21:21,560 Speaker 1: It is important that we do that because you have 368 00:21:21,640 --> 00:21:25,600 Speaker 1: to get to sixty in order to have that quoture 369 00:21:25,640 --> 00:21:29,760 Speaker 1: vote in the Senate. So that is one reason. And 370 00:21:29,800 --> 00:21:33,480 Speaker 1: the other is when you look at people that are 371 00:21:33,520 --> 00:21:39,080 Speaker 1: coming into the Senate right now, you've got good, solid conservatives, Well, 372 00:21:39,080 --> 00:21:42,439 Speaker 1: what does that help us do? It helps us conservatives 373 00:21:42,440 --> 00:21:47,240 Speaker 1: in the Senate be able to change the conversation. And 374 00:21:47,640 --> 00:21:50,760 Speaker 1: I'm one of those I get pretty frustrated when you've 375 00:21:50,800 --> 00:21:55,080 Speaker 1: got ten Republicans go work with Democrats and then they 376 00:21:55,119 --> 00:21:59,720 Speaker 1: have a quote unquote bipartisan bill that is not acceptable 377 00:21:59,800 --> 00:22:03,719 Speaker 1: to the majority of Republicans. And what we're trying to 378 00:22:03,760 --> 00:22:08,919 Speaker 1: do is push it so we have Republican alternatives to 379 00:22:09,200 --> 00:22:13,240 Speaker 1: whatever it is that is going that a Biden administration 380 00:22:13,680 --> 00:22:17,359 Speaker 1: is wanting to have a discussion on. And that's the 381 00:22:17,440 --> 00:22:20,760 Speaker 1: way it ought to be. This nation has been kept 382 00:22:20,840 --> 00:22:28,200 Speaker 1: free by robust, respectful debate, by partisan debate, and that 383 00:22:28,200 --> 00:22:31,640 Speaker 1: means you have a Republican approach, and you have a 384 00:22:31,720 --> 00:22:37,560 Speaker 1: Democrat approach, and we we want to solve these problems. 385 00:22:37,600 --> 00:22:40,600 Speaker 1: The first thing we should do, in my opinion, is 386 00:22:40,640 --> 00:22:45,520 Speaker 1: to freeze federal spending, followed by freezing federal hiring and 387 00:22:45,680 --> 00:22:50,840 Speaker 1: freezing federal salaries and then having a vote that strikes 388 00:22:50,920 --> 00:22:55,879 Speaker 1: those eighty seven thousand IRS agents and puts that money 389 00:22:55,920 --> 00:23:02,400 Speaker 1: toward police officers in Border Security Center Blackburn Election night. 390 00:23:03,200 --> 00:23:06,080 Speaker 1: What will you be watching on the East coast as 391 00:23:06,200 --> 00:23:08,880 Speaker 1: these returns start to come in? Is there a race 392 00:23:08,960 --> 00:23:10,840 Speaker 1: you've got your eye on that you think as a 393 00:23:10,880 --> 00:23:14,000 Speaker 1: Bellweather is a New Hampshire as you mentioned, to see 394 00:23:14,000 --> 00:23:16,840 Speaker 1: how Balduck is doing to get an idea? Is it 395 00:23:16,920 --> 00:23:19,760 Speaker 1: the early returns from Florida for people out there who 396 00:23:19,800 --> 00:23:21,920 Speaker 1: are excited to kind of have an idea but may 397 00:23:21,960 --> 00:23:24,320 Speaker 1: not stay up till two or three am to see 398 00:23:24,480 --> 00:23:26,960 Speaker 1: all the West coast come in. Where should people be 399 00:23:26,960 --> 00:23:30,399 Speaker 1: paying attention to to get an idea of way versus 400 00:23:30,440 --> 00:23:35,199 Speaker 1: tsunami versus kind of expectation? Yes, and I think the 401 00:23:35,359 --> 00:23:39,639 Speaker 1: temperament of the voter plays into that, having that eye 402 00:23:39,680 --> 00:23:43,439 Speaker 1: on New Hampshire and on Georgia as to what are 403 00:23:43,480 --> 00:23:46,240 Speaker 1: going to happen in those two states, and then I 404 00:23:46,240 --> 00:23:51,360 Speaker 1: would look at South Florida to see what is transpiring 405 00:23:51,440 --> 00:23:55,760 Speaker 1: with the Hispanic vote. You remember last cycle, people were 406 00:23:55,840 --> 00:24:02,240 Speaker 1: surprised when you had a Republican flip a seat, a 407 00:24:02,359 --> 00:24:07,560 Speaker 1: congressional seat there in the Miami area, and I think 408 00:24:07,640 --> 00:24:12,879 Speaker 1: that portended well for what you have seen happen with 409 00:24:13,040 --> 00:24:17,280 Speaker 1: the Hispanic community over the past two years. Their focus 410 00:24:17,400 --> 00:24:21,679 Speaker 1: on the economy, their focus on crime, their focus on 411 00:24:21,760 --> 00:24:27,040 Speaker 1: parental rights. We're speaking of Senator Marshall Blackburn of Tennessee. Senator, 412 00:24:27,080 --> 00:24:29,280 Speaker 1: I just want to know what do you think of 413 00:24:29,320 --> 00:24:32,520 Speaker 1: the race right now in New Hampshire with Balduck and Hassan, 414 00:24:32,560 --> 00:24:35,040 Speaker 1: because one of them is going well, Hassen's in the 415 00:24:35,040 --> 00:24:36,479 Speaker 1: Senate right but one of them is going to be 416 00:24:36,800 --> 00:24:39,560 Speaker 1: your Senate colleague the next time around. Do you think 417 00:24:39,600 --> 00:24:42,080 Speaker 1: Balduck can get it done? What's the difference maker going 418 00:24:42,119 --> 00:24:45,840 Speaker 1: to be in New Hampshire. One of the things that 419 00:24:46,040 --> 00:24:49,720 Speaker 1: I think many of us have looked at is the 420 00:24:50,480 --> 00:24:54,879 Speaker 1: attitude of the voters in New Hampshire and their concern 421 00:24:55,040 --> 00:24:58,080 Speaker 1: over what was coming out of DC with inflation, with 422 00:24:58,200 --> 00:25:02,240 Speaker 1: the attack on energy, with the cost of heating fuel. 423 00:25:02,520 --> 00:25:07,359 Speaker 1: We've also looked at hastened favorables. She's had a tough 424 00:25:07,400 --> 00:25:12,440 Speaker 1: time getting those out of the low forties and seeming 425 00:25:12,480 --> 00:25:16,680 Speaker 1: them to backtrack a little bit on her votes on energy, 426 00:25:17,480 --> 00:25:22,359 Speaker 1: on what is transpired with inflation. So those are areas 427 00:25:22,400 --> 00:25:26,160 Speaker 1: that I think vote well for a bulldock. I think 428 00:25:26,240 --> 00:25:31,280 Speaker 1: that also looking at the Connecticut race, no one ever 429 00:25:31,440 --> 00:25:35,800 Speaker 1: thought that it would be possible to read to beat 430 00:25:36,119 --> 00:25:41,040 Speaker 1: Richard Blumenthal, and now you have Leora Leavey in Connecticut 431 00:25:41,240 --> 00:25:44,040 Speaker 1: who is in a dead heat with him. That is 432 00:25:44,080 --> 00:25:50,000 Speaker 1: certainly a race where the issues and the frustration of 433 00:25:50,040 --> 00:25:55,360 Speaker 1: the American people has played out, and you were seeing that. 434 00:25:55,600 --> 00:25:59,600 Speaker 1: It means every voter in every state has to get 435 00:25:59,600 --> 00:26:02,440 Speaker 1: out in vote. You know, many times you'll hear people say, well, 436 00:26:02,440 --> 00:26:06,040 Speaker 1: the red wave will carry this, or we'll carry that. No, 437 00:26:06,640 --> 00:26:09,560 Speaker 1: it is going to be the candidates working up to 438 00:26:09,600 --> 00:26:13,040 Speaker 1: the last minute getting their vote out that is going 439 00:26:13,119 --> 00:26:16,840 Speaker 1: to send this over the top. I just talked to 440 00:26:16,920 --> 00:26:20,520 Speaker 1: Ted Bud in North Carolina a few minutes ago. He 441 00:26:20,680 --> 00:26:24,560 Speaker 1: is out working today getting people to the polls, making 442 00:26:24,640 --> 00:26:27,200 Speaker 1: certain that they go vote tomorrow, so he has a 443 00:26:27,280 --> 00:26:30,159 Speaker 1: solid win. Last question for you, Center Black, but are 444 00:26:30,240 --> 00:26:32,359 Speaker 1: you at all nervous. I know you probably saw a 445 00:26:32,359 --> 00:26:35,479 Speaker 1: Fetterman's campaign has put out a statement saying, oh, it 446 00:26:35,520 --> 00:26:38,040 Speaker 1: may take a week or more several days in order 447 00:26:38,080 --> 00:26:40,359 Speaker 1: for these votes to come in. Are you nervous at 448 00:26:40,359 --> 00:26:42,280 Speaker 1: all about that? Or do you think that this is 449 00:26:42,320 --> 00:26:45,439 Speaker 1: going to be a smoother and more rapid process of 450 00:26:45,520 --> 00:26:48,879 Speaker 1: counting than we saw in twenty twenty One of the 451 00:26:49,000 --> 00:26:52,240 Speaker 1: things that I've been pleased to see as many states 452 00:26:52,280 --> 00:26:55,280 Speaker 1: have followed what I think is the right course, which 453 00:26:55,320 --> 00:26:58,920 Speaker 1: is making it easier to vote and harder to cheat, 454 00:26:59,480 --> 00:27:03,840 Speaker 1: and that should be our approach. It is of tremendous 455 00:27:03,920 --> 00:27:07,679 Speaker 1: concern to me when you here's someone who is the 456 00:27:07,760 --> 00:27:12,320 Speaker 1: lieutenant governor of the state beginning to say, oh, well, 457 00:27:12,640 --> 00:27:15,080 Speaker 1: you know what, it may take us a while to 458 00:27:15,160 --> 00:27:18,680 Speaker 1: get all of this in and get the votes counted, 459 00:27:18,880 --> 00:27:24,520 Speaker 1: and that should be a concern to the people of Pennsylvania. 460 00:27:24,800 --> 00:27:29,480 Speaker 1: And my hope is that you're going to see people 461 00:27:29,920 --> 00:27:33,199 Speaker 1: get these votes counted. And I wish everyone did like 462 00:27:33,320 --> 00:27:37,760 Speaker 1: we did in Tennessee. The polls closed, the votes are posted, 463 00:27:38,040 --> 00:27:42,800 Speaker 1: the tallies are made, and the results are announced, and 464 00:27:42,960 --> 00:27:45,719 Speaker 1: generally by the time people put their head on the 465 00:27:45,720 --> 00:27:49,720 Speaker 1: pillow at night, they know who won who lost. Senator Oh, 466 00:27:49,840 --> 00:27:52,080 Speaker 1: we have a lot of wins and not too many losses. 467 00:27:52,080 --> 00:27:54,840 Speaker 1: We'll see tomorrow at the party. Can't wait. You got it? 468 00:27:54,960 --> 00:27:57,880 Speaker 1: Take care bye bye. Now. That is Senator Marshall Blackbird 469 00:27:58,000 --> 00:28:00,840 Speaker 1: of Tennessee. Look.

The energy, the 494 00:29:25,760 --> 00:29:28,360 Speaker 1: enthusiasm on the ground is incredible and that is why 495 00:29:28,400 --> 00:29:31,520 Speaker 1: I believe we're going to win tomorrow. What are some 496 00:29:31,520 --> 00:29:33,560 Speaker 1: of the top things that you're hearing. I mean, I'm 497 00:29:33,560 --> 00:29:36,480 Speaker 1: assuming it mirrors a lot of what's been said across 498 00:29:36,520 --> 00:29:39,520 Speaker 1: the country about the top issues. But you know, Virginia 499 00:29:39,720 --> 00:29:42,320 Speaker 1: felt like a purple state, recently started to feel more 500 00:29:42,320 --> 00:29:45,080 Speaker 1: blue and then all of a sudden yunkin wins and 501 00:29:45,200 --> 00:29:47,480 Speaker 1: now people like you are running and looking like you'll 502 00:29:47,520 --> 00:29:50,760 Speaker 1: be able to be a new generation of Republican leadership 503 00:29:50,760 --> 00:29:55,080 Speaker 1: in the state. So what are Virginians telling you. Look, 504 00:29:55,080 --> 00:29:58,640 Speaker 1: we're talking about the economy, inflation, we're talking about the christ, 505 00:29:58,640 --> 00:30:03,000 Speaker 1: about our southern border, how crime is literally crippling our communities, 506 00:30:03,240 --> 00:30:05,960 Speaker 1: and also parental rights. Who would have thought right that 507 00:30:06,000 --> 00:30:08,160 Speaker 1: we would still be talking about that issue. It seems 508 00:30:08,200 --> 00:30:11,840 Speaker 1: like today's liberal progressive Democrat party didn't hear the message 509 00:30:11,920 --> 00:30:14,680 Speaker 1: loud and clear last November. So we're going to remind 510 00:30:14,720 --> 00:30:16,920 Speaker 1: them again that we do not compare on with the 511 00:30:16,960 --> 00:30:19,520 Speaker 1: federal government as parents, that we have a fundamental right 512 00:30:19,560 --> 00:30:21,680 Speaker 1: to be involved in our children's lives. And that is 513 00:30:21,720 --> 00:30:24,120 Speaker 1: why people are going to flood the polls tomorrow in 514 00:30:24,240 --> 00:30:27,600 Speaker 1: numbers less we've never seen before. Yes, Lee, we appreciate 515 00:30:27,600 --> 00:30:30,000 Speaker 1: you coming on for people out there who don't know 516 00:30:30,080 --> 00:30:32,560 Speaker 1: your district or frankly, there are probably people listening who 517 00:30:32,600 --> 00:30:34,760 Speaker 1: may be in your district and not even be aware 518 00:30:34,760 --> 00:30:37,400 Speaker 1: of it. Tell us why your district is so competitive, 519 00:30:37,440 --> 00:30:39,840 Speaker 1: what's unique about it, and why you are the perfect 520 00:30:39,920 --> 00:30:44,600 Speaker 1: choice to represent that district. Sure, it's a new district 521 00:30:45,320 --> 00:30:47,960 Speaker 1: after redistrict team, I would say that's seventy percent of 522 00:30:47,960 --> 00:30:50,840 Speaker 1: the district is new to my opponent, who seems to 523 00:30:50,880 --> 00:30:52,920 Speaker 1: be running as an incumbent when in reality, it's a 524 00:30:52,920 --> 00:30:55,760 Speaker 1: new district, but it's a district that also tends to 525 00:30:55,800 --> 00:30:58,640 Speaker 1: go with the current political climate. And based off of 526 00:30:58,680 --> 00:31:02,120 Speaker 1: everything that we've been seen at the Biden Pelosi agenda 527 00:31:02,240 --> 00:31:04,280 Speaker 1: over the last couple of years, it's something that is 528 00:31:04,360 --> 00:31:07,440 Speaker 1: hurting Virginians. It's something that people are not pleased with. 529 00:31:07,520 --> 00:31:10,440 Speaker 1: And that is why I believe that the seventh district 530 00:31:10,520 --> 00:31:13,400 Speaker 1: is going to flit because folks want new leadership, they 531 00:31:13,440 --> 00:31:15,960 Speaker 1: want change, they want a representative that is going to be, 532 00:31:16,480 --> 00:31:18,480 Speaker 1: you know, fighting on behalf of the voters chore in 533 00:31:18,520 --> 00:31:20,840 Speaker 1: the seventh district and not somebody who's going to serve 534 00:31:20,880 --> 00:31:23,440 Speaker 1: as a rubber stamp like my opponent has been pro 535 00:31:23,480 --> 00:31:27,479 Speaker 1: Biden and for Pelosi. We're speaking of yes Lee Vega. 536 00:31:27,640 --> 00:31:32,400 Speaker 1: She's running in Virginia's seventh congressional district. And you know 537 00:31:32,480 --> 00:31:34,760 Speaker 1: you're a law tell us a bit about being a 538 00:31:34,800 --> 00:31:37,200 Speaker 1: law enforcement officer, Yes Lee, Because we've had we have 539 00:31:37,240 --> 00:31:39,800 Speaker 1: a lot of veterans we've had on the show recently 540 00:31:39,800 --> 00:31:42,959 Speaker 1: who running for office now haven't had as many law 541 00:31:43,080 --> 00:31:46,200 Speaker 1: enforcement officers. What do you bring to in terms of 542 00:31:46,240 --> 00:31:49,080 Speaker 1: perspective the table having actually had to be out there 543 00:31:49,120 --> 00:31:53,080 Speaker 1: and work in that role. You know, I became a 544 00:31:53,120 --> 00:31:56,680 Speaker 1: police officer in two eleven. My younger brother was viciously 545 00:31:56,760 --> 00:31:59,840 Speaker 1: gunned down and nearly killed by m at thirteen. So 546 00:32:00,080 --> 00:32:02,640 Speaker 1: we talk about violence, when we talk about gangs, when 547 00:32:02,680 --> 00:32:06,120 Speaker 1: we talk about drugs. I've been at the forefront of 548 00:32:06,160 --> 00:32:09,000 Speaker 1: this issue, and I find it appalling that my opponent 549 00:32:09,160 --> 00:32:12,320 Speaker 1: is now because it's election season, talking about how she's 550 00:32:12,360 --> 00:32:16,160 Speaker 1: always supported law enforcement. She was silent over the last 551 00:32:16,160 --> 00:32:18,480 Speaker 1: two years when the men and women of law enforcement 552 00:32:18,480 --> 00:32:21,080 Speaker 1: were demonized for doing their job. We have a lot 553 00:32:21,120 --> 00:32:23,280 Speaker 1: of work to do in order to restore that trust 554 00:32:23,280 --> 00:32:26,000 Speaker 1: that we once had with folks here in the districts 555 00:32:26,040 --> 00:32:28,480 Speaker 1: and law enforcement. I'll share with you all that we 556 00:32:28,520 --> 00:32:30,760 Speaker 1: had a law enforcement roundtable with the sheriffs of the 557 00:32:30,800 --> 00:32:34,040 Speaker 1: seventh District and we were talking about, you know, criminal 558 00:32:34,080 --> 00:32:36,840 Speaker 1: activity to the extent that we're now having to deal 559 00:32:36,840 --> 00:32:39,959 Speaker 1: with cartels here in the seventh District. And again, this 560 00:32:40,040 --> 00:32:42,440 Speaker 1: is a direct result of a wide open border. This 561 00:32:42,520 --> 00:32:45,960 Speaker 1: is a direct result of failed Democrat policies. We're seeing 562 00:32:46,040 --> 00:32:49,040 Speaker 1: numbers of death here due to fet and like numbers 563 00:32:49,040 --> 00:32:51,880 Speaker 1: we've never seen before, and people are tired of losing 564 00:32:51,880 --> 00:32:54,400 Speaker 1: their children, you know, two drugs. People are tired of 565 00:32:54,480 --> 00:32:57,520 Speaker 1: not feeling safe in their communities, and we're reminding folks 566 00:32:57,520 --> 00:33:00,080 Speaker 1: with what's at stake and the importance of people getting 567 00:33:00,080 --> 00:33:03,120 Speaker 1: out and voting tomorrow. Yes Ley Vega, you need to 568 00:33:03,120 --> 00:33:06,640 Speaker 1: go support her in the seventh congressional district in Virginia. 569 00:33:06,720 --> 00:33:08,800 Speaker 1: I believe you're a mom as well. And we have 570 00:33:08,840 --> 00:33:11,400 Speaker 1: talked to a lot of moms who have been inspired 571 00:33:11,480 --> 00:33:14,640 Speaker 1: to run for office here in twenty twenty two. How 572 00:33:14,640 --> 00:33:17,560 Speaker 1: many moms and dads are you talking to, Yesley, fired 573 00:33:17,640 --> 00:33:21,120 Speaker 1: up still over COVID policies, over the way that their 574 00:33:21,160 --> 00:33:24,000 Speaker 1: kids were treated associated with school, And how much do 575 00:33:24,040 --> 00:33:26,040 Speaker 1: you think the mom and dad vote in particular, the 576 00:33:26,120 --> 00:33:28,040 Speaker 1: mom vote is going to make a big difference, not 577 00:33:28,080 --> 00:33:32,000 Speaker 1: only in your district but across the country. I am 578 00:33:32,000 --> 00:33:34,000 Speaker 1: a mother and that's the most important role that I 579 00:33:34,000 --> 00:33:36,400 Speaker 1: will ever have in this lifetime. And you know, my 580 00:33:36,520 --> 00:33:38,880 Speaker 1: husband and I are raising two beautiful kids that God 581 00:33:38,880 --> 00:33:41,280 Speaker 1: has blessed us with. We do not co parent with 582 00:33:41,320 --> 00:33:43,840 Speaker 1: the federal government. We never have and we never will. 583 00:33:44,080 --> 00:33:46,920 Speaker 1: I'm talking to parents who are tired of the heavy 584 00:33:46,920 --> 00:33:49,160 Speaker 1: hand of government trying to tell them what to do 585 00:33:49,200 --> 00:33:51,520 Speaker 1: and how to raise their children. I'm sure that you 586 00:33:51,600 --> 00:33:54,640 Speaker 1: all heard of the radical proposal that a delegate here, 587 00:33:54,680 --> 00:33:58,200 Speaker 1: a Democrat delegate in Virginia, said that her priority in 588 00:33:58,240 --> 00:34:01,640 Speaker 1: the upcoming legislative session to put forth a bill that 589 00:34:01,680 --> 00:34:05,160 Speaker 1: would listen to this jail parents who do not affirm 590 00:34:05,240 --> 00:34:08,680 Speaker 1: their child's identity. This is mad that my opponent also 591 00:34:08,760 --> 00:34:12,480 Speaker 1: voted against requiring parental notice and consent before school can 592 00:34:12,520 --> 00:34:15,200 Speaker 1: provide services for our children when it comes to gender 593 00:34:15,239 --> 00:34:19,120 Speaker 1: ideology or orientation. It's a fundamental right for parents to 594 00:34:19,160 --> 00:34:22,160 Speaker 1: be involved in their children, not just inside of the classroom, 595 00:34:22,280 --> 00:34:24,520 Speaker 1: but outside of the classroom. You know, you have to 596 00:34:24,560 --> 00:34:27,000 Speaker 1: be eighteen years old to get underneath the hand bit 597 00:34:27,080 --> 00:34:29,839 Speaker 1: channing that, but you can be twelve, thirteen, fourteen years 598 00:34:29,880 --> 00:34:32,920 Speaker 1: old and needile at your bodies. Our children are expecting 599 00:34:33,000 --> 00:34:35,439 Speaker 1: for us to defend them, to protect them. And that's 600 00:34:35,480 --> 00:34:37,839 Speaker 1: why I'm running, and that is bias. Fight hard because 601 00:34:37,880 --> 00:34:41,280 Speaker 1: I will not allow for this to continue. Yes, leaveg 602 00:34:41,360 --> 00:34:44,200 Speaker 1: everybody be a big pick up against her opponent, and 603 00:34:44,239 --> 00:34:48,120 Speaker 1: her opponent's a favorite of the DC swamp crew. So 604 00:34:48,400 --> 00:34:51,600 Speaker 1: you really got to get out there for in Virginia seventh. Yes, Lee, 605 00:34:51,680 --> 00:34:53,799 Speaker 1: you've run a great campaign, and we hope you're going 606 00:34:53,840 --> 00:34:55,799 Speaker 1: to get some good news here and just a matter 607 00:34:55,880 --> 00:34:58,640 Speaker 1: of twenty four or forty eight hours or so depending. 608 00:34:58,680 --> 00:35:01,440 Speaker 1: Thanks so much for being with us. Thank you so 609 00:35:01,520 --> 00:35:04,880 Speaker 1: much for having me. Yeah, she's running against one of 610 00:35:04,880 --> 00:35:08,560 Speaker 1: these Democrats, Clay, who is doing the whole Oh I'm 611 00:35:08,600 --> 00:35:11,640 Speaker 1: I'm go my own way. I don't I'm not just 612 00:35:11,680 --> 00:35:15,200 Speaker 1: one of those Biden. That is not the reality. Biden. 613 00:35:15,239 --> 00:35:18,520 Speaker 1: Democrats have all been together. The only thing you could 614 00:35:18,520 --> 00:35:21,359 Speaker 1: say about about Democrats an elected office is that they 615 00:35:21,400 --> 00:35:24,320 Speaker 1: do they move like a like a flock of birds. 616 00:35:24,320 --> 00:35:26,480 Speaker 1: You know, they all turned together at the same time, 617 00:35:26,520 --> 00:35:30,839 Speaker 1: the same direction. Very little dissent among Democrats. It's like 618 00:35:30,880 --> 00:35:32,799 Speaker 1: the Borg from Star Trek. I don't know if that's 619 00:35:32,840 --> 00:35:35,759 Speaker 1: too nerdy for some people, but look, she's a big 620 00:35:35,800 --> 00:35:38,279 Speaker 1: part of these murden. We talked to Gerdusky and he said, hey, 621 00:35:38,280 --> 00:35:40,759 Speaker 1: pay a couple of attention to some of these districts 622 00:35:40,800 --> 00:35:44,960 Speaker 1: in Virginia. She there three Virginia districts that are potentially 623 00:35:45,040 --> 00:35:47,239 Speaker 1: toss ups. I think we've talked to every one of 624 00:35:47,239 --> 00:35:49,839 Speaker 1: those candidates to give them an opportunity to share their 625 00:35:49,840 --> 00:35:53,160 Speaker 1: message with you. This is one of those races where 626 00:35:53,200 --> 00:35:56,040 Speaker 1: if you want to look smart on election night, texting 627 00:35:56,040 --> 00:35:59,279 Speaker 1: your buddies or hanging out with your family watching the 628 00:35:59,320 --> 00:36:03,200 Speaker 1: results come in, we'll get what's happening with yes Lee Vega. 629 00:36:03,440 --> 00:36:05,640 Speaker 1: If she is winning, and we think she is going 630 00:36:05,680 --> 00:36:08,200 Speaker 1: to have a very very good chance of winning, it's 631 00:36:08,200 --> 00:36:10,360 Speaker 1: a sign that not only is Virginia going to be 632 00:36:10,400 --> 00:36:12,719 Speaker 1: turning more red, but much of the country. Boy, it's 633 00:36:12,760 --> 00:36:16,080 Speaker 1: batten down the Hatch's time for the Democrats. If yes 634 00:36:16,160 --> 00:36:18,360 Speaker 1: Lee Vega is able to pull off this victory against 635 00:36:18,360 --> 00:36:23,040 Speaker 1: they heavily funded back by the DC and dem corporate 636 00:36:23,120 --> 00:36:27,759 Speaker 1: media opponents. So get out there and help yes Lee 637 00:36:27,840 --> 00:36:31,200 Speaker 1: Vega with everything it.
