We're getting vip emails throughout the show. 8 00:00:22,480 --> 00:00:26,880 Speaker 1: So I've got the Chicago Mayor's race the Wisconsin State 9 00:00:26,920 --> 00:00:29,960 Speaker 1: Supreme Court race both decided and in ways that I 10 00:00:29,960 --> 00:00:34,879 Speaker 1: think are discouraging but and bad for the state of 11 00:00:34,920 --> 00:00:40,159 Speaker 1: Wisconsin and for the video of Chicago, respectively. But I 12 00:00:40,200 --> 00:00:44,080 Speaker 1: first wanted to speak a little bit about the murder 13 00:00:44,800 --> 00:00:51,080 Speaker 1: of this tech executive, Bob Lee, because Bob Lee is 14 00:00:51,520 --> 00:00:55,280 Speaker 1: well known in Silicon Valley circles. He is the cash 15 00:00:55,360 --> 00:00:58,440 Speaker 1: app founder, So any of you who have ever you 16 00:00:58,440 --> 00:01:00,600 Speaker 1: know what you know use cash app. Note app is 17 00:01:00,760 --> 00:01:04,560 Speaker 1: he's also involved in cryptocurrency, so he's very tied in 18 00:01:04,560 --> 00:01:10,680 Speaker 1: in the Silicon Valley circles. And he had because San Francisco. 19 00:01:10,760 --> 00:01:13,039 Speaker 1: And this is a part of the story that so 20 00:01:13,200 --> 00:01:16,000 Speaker 1: fascinating to C Clay. I didn't see this in the CBS. 21 00:01:16,120 --> 00:01:18,440 Speaker 1: Right up. I didn't see this in the New York Times. 22 00:01:18,520 --> 00:01:20,920 Speaker 1: Right up. I was doing a little checking. He had 23 00:01:21,000 --> 00:01:27,640 Speaker 1: recently moved to Miami, Florida, because San Francisco is such 24 00:01:27,680 --> 00:01:30,640 Speaker 1: a hell hole because of the Democrats who run it 25 00:01:30,640 --> 00:01:34,600 Speaker 1: and the lawlessness there. So this guy leaves San Francisco, 26 00:01:35,240 --> 00:01:39,520 Speaker 1: moves to RNDA santiss Florida, is a fellow Miami in, 27 00:01:40,120 --> 00:01:43,319 Speaker 1: recent fellow Miami in and has to go back to 28 00:01:43,400 --> 00:01:46,640 Speaker 1: San Francisco just for a work trip and is stabbed 29 00:01:46,640 --> 00:01:49,000 Speaker 1: to death at two o'clock in the morning Pacific time, 30 00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:53,800 Speaker 1: outside of a luxury apartment building in downtown San Francisco. Basically, 31 00:01:53,880 --> 00:01:56,640 Speaker 1: that is what happened here. And I had somebody, a 32 00:01:56,680 --> 00:01:58,920 Speaker 1: friend who had spent time in the Bay Area actually 33 00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:01,920 Speaker 1: working with tech company sex. He said, yeah, this is 34 00:02:01,960 --> 00:02:07,160 Speaker 1: now San Francisco too dangerous downtown for business trips, never 35 00:02:07,200 --> 00:02:09,440 Speaker 1: mind for living. That is the takeaway that some people 36 00:02:09,440 --> 00:02:12,160 Speaker 1: will have here. Now. We just said to you yesterday. 37 00:02:13,000 --> 00:02:16,919 Speaker 1: We said to you yesterday that San Francisco was down 38 00:02:16,960 --> 00:02:19,679 Speaker 1: what was it, five hundred and forty police officers as 39 00:02:19,720 --> 00:02:23,040 Speaker 1: a result of the current mayor London Breed being in 40 00:02:23,080 --> 00:02:27,280 Speaker 1: favor of defunding police. Now there's more and more break ins, 41 00:02:27,720 --> 00:02:31,079 Speaker 1: car theft, and violent crime rising in that city. It's 42 00:02:31,080 --> 00:02:33,200 Speaker 1: a place that I used to think of in the 43 00:02:33,760 --> 00:02:36,200 Speaker 1: Did you watch Full House as a kid, Oh loved it? 44 00:02:36,400 --> 00:02:39,600 Speaker 1: And my kids all watched Fuller House, which is the 45 00:02:39,840 --> 00:02:44,480 Speaker 1: I believe Netflix date involving a lot of the new 46 00:02:44,600 --> 00:02:46,960 Speaker 1: same people, but as adults. Yes, so my kids loved 47 00:02:46,960 --> 00:02:50,080 Speaker 1: it too. Bob Saggett, you know rest in Peace, you 48 00:02:50,120 --> 00:02:53,920 Speaker 1: know John Stamos, the whole Full House crew. I love 49 00:02:54,000 --> 00:02:55,800 Speaker 1: that show when I was a kid and it just 50 00:02:55,840 --> 00:03:00,400 Speaker 1: had all these pictures. San Francisco was like Paradise, beautiful city, 51 00:03:00,960 --> 00:03:05,320 Speaker 1: very safe, amazing food. They're ruining it, okay, and they 52 00:03:05,360 --> 00:03:08,280 Speaker 1: are the Democrats, and it is very clear that this 53 00:03:08,360 --> 00:03:11,760 Speaker 1: is what is happening. Now here's the problem. We could 54 00:03:11,760 --> 00:03:15,680 Speaker 1: sit here and provide all the data that we want to. 55 00:03:16,720 --> 00:03:20,799 Speaker 1: Then you look at the similar situation. Soft on crime policies. 56 00:03:20,840 --> 00:03:22,960 Speaker 1: We all know what they are. No cash bail, no 57 00:03:23,240 --> 00:03:27,240 Speaker 1: rest for this, no prosecution for that, let people out, 58 00:03:27,320 --> 00:03:30,480 Speaker 1: don't punish them, open air drug use, camp in the streets. 59 00:03:30,600 --> 00:03:33,120 Speaker 1: And all of our Portland audience is nodding their heads. 60 00:03:33,120 --> 00:03:35,840 Speaker 1: Our Seattle audiences. A lot of cities are going through 61 00:03:35,920 --> 00:03:40,200 Speaker 1: this across the country. Clay, Chicago just had a choice. 62 00:03:40,520 --> 00:03:43,560 Speaker 1: I think what was it almost roughly between six and 63 00:03:43,560 --> 00:03:45,640 Speaker 1: seven hundred murders I think was it last year or 64 00:03:45,640 --> 00:03:48,000 Speaker 1: the year before, which is a staggering number for a 65 00:03:48,040 --> 00:03:52,080 Speaker 1: city of that size. And Chicago just had an election 66 00:03:52,120 --> 00:03:56,840 Speaker 1: where they could choose between Vallis, who just said, look, 67 00:03:56,840 --> 00:03:58,520 Speaker 1: I'm going to make this place safer for all of you. 68 00:03:58,640 --> 00:04:01,360 Speaker 1: That is my mission in life if I become the mayor. 69 00:04:01,960 --> 00:04:04,000 Speaker 1: Now he only lost by a couple of points. He 70 00:04:04,160 --> 00:04:08,600 Speaker 1: lost to Johnson, who is a progressive, a leftist, a socialist. 71 00:04:08,920 --> 00:04:11,360 Speaker 1: And what was so interesting is, and this is a 72 00:04:11,360 --> 00:04:13,640 Speaker 1: hat tip to my friend Ryan Grdosky, our friend Ryan 73 00:04:13,680 --> 00:04:16,920 Speaker 1: Grdosky for his National Populist newsletter on substack. He's done 74 00:04:16,920 --> 00:04:20,120 Speaker 1: a breakdown of the data. Do you know why Johnson 75 00:04:20,600 --> 00:04:26,480 Speaker 1: won Chicago Clay because the highest crime precincts in Chicago 76 00:04:27,200 --> 00:04:33,760 Speaker 1: overwhelmingly voted for the soft on crime candidate. What can 77 00:04:33,800 --> 00:04:36,120 Speaker 1: you make of this? They voted for the black guy. 78 00:04:36,920 --> 00:04:42,159 Speaker 1: I mean, honestly, it's identity politics writ large. And I 79 00:04:42,400 --> 00:04:47,960 Speaker 1: keep thinking that there is going to be a recognition 80 00:04:48,279 --> 00:04:51,200 Speaker 1: of what hell holes many of these cities have become, 81 00:04:51,880 --> 00:04:54,960 Speaker 1: and that at their most basic level, it's because they're 82 00:04:55,000 --> 00:04:59,480 Speaker 1: adopting anti police, anti capitalism. You mentioned in San Francisco. 83 00:04:59,520 --> 00:05:01,560 Speaker 1: Here's a staf for you, Buck. I think I saw 84 00:05:01,560 --> 00:05:04,640 Speaker 1: this in the Wall Street Journal earlier this week. Thirty 85 00:05:04,680 --> 00:05:11,080 Speaker 1: percent of all commercial real estate business rentals in San 86 00:05:11,120 --> 00:05:14,640 Speaker 1: Francisco right now are empty. You know this because you're 87 00:05:14,680 --> 00:05:17,640 Speaker 1: a New York City guy born in Bread. A lot 88 00:05:17,680 --> 00:05:19,960 Speaker 1: of people are not coming back into New York City 89 00:05:20,000 --> 00:05:24,400 Speaker 1: now and going to work. So not only are you 90 00:05:24,480 --> 00:05:28,040 Speaker 1: dealing with a rise in crime, you're dealing with a 91 00:05:28,200 --> 00:05:32,799 Speaker 1: massive decline in the available tax rate, which is creating, 92 00:05:32,839 --> 00:05:36,240 Speaker 1: for instance, in New York City, major issues for Eric 93 00:05:36,279 --> 00:05:40,479 Speaker 1: Adams going forward because they're running off the wealthiest. This 94 00:05:40,600 --> 00:05:43,240 Speaker 1: just happened in Chicago, Ken Griffin, I believe as the 95 00:05:43,240 --> 00:05:48,680 Speaker 1: head of Citadel, multi billionaire, he relocated to Florida. In Chicago. 96 00:05:49,800 --> 00:05:52,960 Speaker 1: I'm done, I'm done with the crime in Chicago. I 97 00:05:53,000 --> 00:05:56,240 Speaker 1: believe I am correct that one of the top executives 98 00:05:56,240 --> 00:05:59,680 Speaker 1: that Citadel was attacked outside of the building and it 99 00:05:59,760 --> 00:06:04,400 Speaker 1: was the culmination of we can't do this anymore. I'm out, 100 00:06:04,440 --> 00:06:08,640 Speaker 1: and he basically said, I'm relocating my entire business from 101 00:06:08,720 --> 00:06:13,200 Speaker 1: Chicago to Florida. And this is happening in a big way, Buck, 102 00:06:13,600 --> 00:06:18,599 Speaker 1: in New York. A tiny percentage of people pay in 103 00:06:18,760 --> 00:06:22,480 Speaker 1: most big cities and an inordinate amount of the tasks 104 00:06:22,520 --> 00:06:25,360 Speaker 1: that allow those cities to exist, and those taxes, if 105 00:06:25,360 --> 00:06:29,800 Speaker 1: you're a billionaire, they fund police for poorer people, they 106 00:06:29,839 --> 00:06:34,520 Speaker 1: fund schools for poorer people. When those billionaires leave, you 107 00:06:34,560 --> 00:06:38,240 Speaker 1: can almost legitimately look at the tax rolls and say, man, 108 00:06:38,240 --> 00:06:42,440 Speaker 1: if fifty people leave, our tax rolls take a legitimate 109 00:06:42,520 --> 00:06:45,159 Speaker 1: hit just based on the income that these guys are producing. 110 00:06:45,720 --> 00:06:48,440 Speaker 1: And I keep waiting for it, Buck, because you went 111 00:06:48,560 --> 00:06:51,360 Speaker 1: through it. Things in New York City got so bad 112 00:06:51,680 --> 00:06:53,760 Speaker 1: that finally people said we have to have a law 113 00:06:53,760 --> 00:06:56,440 Speaker 1: and order mayor, and that was Rudy Giuliani. And New 114 00:06:56,520 --> 00:06:59,760 Speaker 1: York made pretty solid whether you look. I mean, Rudy 115 00:06:59,760 --> 00:07:04,760 Speaker 1: gu Leani followed by Mayor Bloomberg. That's pretty solid mayoral leadership, right. 116 00:07:04,800 --> 00:07:06,560 Speaker 1: I mean, you can quibble with a lot of the 117 00:07:06,560 --> 00:07:09,440 Speaker 1: decisions they made. They weren't. Bloomberg was a look I 118 00:07:09,480 --> 00:07:11,600 Speaker 1: work for him. At one point in the NYPD Bloomberg 119 00:07:11,640 --> 00:07:15,080 Speaker 1: was a competent mayor full stop, full stop, and so 120 00:07:15,520 --> 00:07:18,560 Speaker 1: they're not I think anytime, if you're not the mayor yourself, 121 00:07:18,640 --> 00:07:22,480 Speaker 1: relying on any mayor to be perfect is a fallacy, right, 122 00:07:22,520 --> 00:07:27,040 Speaker 1: And I've also said this, you know, progressives, progressives, which 123 00:07:27,040 --> 00:07:30,320 Speaker 1: Bloomberg really is in a lot of ways, not on everything, 124 00:07:30,440 --> 00:07:32,600 Speaker 1: but in a lot of ways. If he wants to 125 00:07:32,640 --> 00:07:35,200 Speaker 1: annoy me about the size of my soda, which he did, 126 00:07:35,600 --> 00:07:37,320 Speaker 1: not that I don't even drink soda, but you get 127 00:07:37,320 --> 00:07:40,720 Speaker 1: the idea. But the streets are safe, crime is way down, 128 00:07:41,000 --> 00:07:44,800 Speaker 1: business investment is up, the schools are improving. People feel 129 00:07:44,840 --> 00:07:47,480 Speaker 1: like things are cleaner, safer, and better in the city 130 00:07:47,520 --> 00:07:50,480 Speaker 1: and as a community. All right, I mean he's annoying 131 00:07:50,480 --> 00:07:52,440 Speaker 1: me about the sodas you know, and he's he's bad 132 00:07:52,560 --> 00:07:55,000 Speaker 1: or straw, but like that stuff can be super annoying, 133 00:07:55,360 --> 00:07:57,679 Speaker 1: but it doesn't go to whether or not you're able 134 00:07:57,720 --> 00:07:59,560 Speaker 1: to walk outside on the street. And the test I 135 00:07:59,600 --> 00:08:01,840 Speaker 1: always a buck is if you don't live in a 136 00:08:01,880 --> 00:08:04,840 Speaker 1: neighborhood where you would be comfortable with your wife or 137 00:08:04,920 --> 00:08:08,800 Speaker 1: daughter going out for a jog at seven prs and 138 00:08:08,920 --> 00:08:11,960 Speaker 1: a sports bra or in you know, like shorts or whatever. 139 00:08:12,480 --> 00:08:14,520 Speaker 1: That is a city that's not safe. How many people 140 00:08:14,520 --> 00:08:17,760 Speaker 1: in America right now can't answer that question. Yes, so 141 00:08:18,120 --> 00:08:22,680 Speaker 1: in Chicago ro specifically, going back to it, I think 142 00:08:22,720 --> 00:08:24,640 Speaker 1: it's important that we frame this in a way that's 143 00:08:24,920 --> 00:08:29,040 Speaker 1: that's very honest. Johnson won this mayor's race because the 144 00:08:29,040 --> 00:08:32,000 Speaker 1: black community overwhelmingly came out and voted for him. That 145 00:08:32,120 --> 00:08:37,680 Speaker 1: is just what the data shows. And there are people 146 00:08:37,679 --> 00:08:41,319 Speaker 1: with a responsibility to speak the truth about what is 147 00:08:41,360 --> 00:08:44,600 Speaker 1: happening in that city for the residence of the city. 148 00:08:45,120 --> 00:08:48,559 Speaker 1: But if you look at you know, different liberal media outlets, 149 00:08:48,600 --> 00:08:51,160 Speaker 1: you look at you know, I don't even know who 150 00:08:51,480 --> 00:08:54,199 Speaker 1: did the Can someone fact check this for me? I'm 151 00:08:54,200 --> 00:08:55,520 Speaker 1: just guessing by the I don't know. I mean, tell 152 00:08:55,559 --> 00:08:58,920 Speaker 1: me who the Chicago Tribune came out in favor of 153 00:08:58,960 --> 00:09:02,440 Speaker 1: in this mayor's race. I'm curious to see. I'm sure 154 00:09:02,440 --> 00:09:04,720 Speaker 1: they probably wrote some kind of an endorsement. Maybe it 155 00:09:04,760 --> 00:09:08,320 Speaker 1: was Valis, maybe they realized. But what you see is 156 00:09:08,320 --> 00:09:10,720 Speaker 1: that overwhelmingly, even if in that case it's not the 157 00:09:10,800 --> 00:09:15,959 Speaker 1: case that they would rather the people who live in 158 00:09:16,120 --> 00:09:20,360 Speaker 1: safe liberals of all races and backgrounds, who live in 159 00:09:20,440 --> 00:09:24,160 Speaker 1: safe neighborhoods of major cities would rather give their support 160 00:09:24,240 --> 00:09:27,680 Speaker 1: and their money to media entities and to politicians and 161 00:09:27,720 --> 00:09:32,840 Speaker 1: to organizations that will not make the city safer because 162 00:09:32,840 --> 00:09:36,000 Speaker 1: it makes them feel good about themselves. To continue to 163 00:09:36,040 --> 00:09:40,960 Speaker 1: push policies of de incarceration of the criminal justice system 164 00:09:41,040 --> 00:09:43,960 Speaker 1: is racist. The cops are the bad guys, so they 165 00:09:43,960 --> 00:09:48,240 Speaker 1: would rather allow the people in their own city to suffer. 166 00:09:48,480 --> 00:09:52,319 Speaker 1: The data is clear. The Chicago experiment with the policies 167 00:09:52,320 --> 00:09:56,720 Speaker 1: of Lorry Lightfoot and the Democrats rid large. I mean, Clay, 168 00:09:56,760 --> 00:09:58,400 Speaker 1: it can't even get into You're not allowed to do 169 00:09:58,440 --> 00:10:00,920 Speaker 1: a foot chase basically in Chica Tago anymore. If you're 170 00:10:00,960 --> 00:10:02,800 Speaker 1: a cop, you know you can't get out of your 171 00:10:02,800 --> 00:10:05,920 Speaker 1: car and chase somebody. These are policies that are being 172 00:10:05,920 --> 00:10:11,160 Speaker 1: pushed through and the Democrats, the Democrat organs of propaganda, 173 00:10:11,679 --> 00:10:14,360 Speaker 1: lie to people about this and they don't care what 174 00:10:14,400 --> 00:10:18,840 Speaker 1: the consequences are. It's valis was the Chicago Tribune endorsed 175 00:10:18,960 --> 00:10:21,679 Speaker 1: candidate and I think, but look at that they actually 176 00:10:21,679 --> 00:10:24,200 Speaker 1: did it still did. I think that speaks to how 177 00:10:24,320 --> 00:10:29,400 Speaker 1: much crime is motivating the decisions of many rational Chicago ones. 178 00:10:29,480 --> 00:10:31,880 Speaker 1: And what I would say, I mean again, you know 179 00:10:32,040 --> 00:10:33,920 Speaker 1: endorsed you know, didn't George Johnson, by the way, just 180 00:10:34,200 --> 00:10:38,000 Speaker 1: teachers Union. They're teachers unions. Teachers, Me, Sanders and Elizabeth 181 00:10:38,000 --> 00:10:40,800 Speaker 1: Warren all endorsed Johnson. Well, that's I'm really speaking about 182 00:10:40,840 --> 00:10:45,240 Speaker 1: the Elizabeth Warren Bernie Sanders mentality. Those two individuals, first 183 00:10:45,240 --> 00:10:48,360 Speaker 1: of all, are you know, quite old and have not 184 00:10:48,480 --> 00:10:50,000 Speaker 1: dealt with what it is like to be you know, 185 00:10:50,040 --> 00:10:52,360 Speaker 1: they haven't like driven their own car and how many 186 00:10:52,360 --> 00:10:54,560 Speaker 1: decades at this point, okay, never mind going too high 187 00:10:54,559 --> 00:10:58,400 Speaker 1: crime areas. They're not worried about their safety. But they'll 188 00:10:58,600 --> 00:11:00,960 Speaker 1: you know, drop right into the middle of the Chicago 189 00:11:01,080 --> 00:11:05,760 Speaker 1: race and promote as progressive liberals, a candidate whose policies 190 00:11:05,760 --> 00:11:08,559 Speaker 1: are going to make the people of Chicago, and more specifically, 191 00:11:08,960 --> 00:11:13,400 Speaker 1: the black residents of Chicago less safe on their own streets. 192 00:11:13,640 --> 00:11:16,120 Speaker 1: And they just don't care, Clay, they just don't care. 193 00:11:16,760 --> 00:11:19,880 Speaker 1: BLM has led directly to the deaths of thousands of 194 00:11:19,920 --> 00:11:23,000 Speaker 1: black people who would otherwise be alive because they have 195 00:11:23,120 --> 00:11:26,680 Speaker 1: pulled back police and or ensured that police get fired. 196 00:11:26,720 --> 00:11:29,560 Speaker 1: And if you're waking up this morning, I guarantee there's 197 00:11:29,559 --> 00:11:32,400 Speaker 1: people listening to us who work in law enforcement in Chicago. 198 00:11:32,960 --> 00:11:35,200 Speaker 1: Why in the world. Would you stay there? You've got 199 00:11:35,240 --> 00:11:38,000 Speaker 1: a mayor now who said that police basically are the enemy. 200 00:11:38,600 --> 00:11:41,320 Speaker 1: You can move all over the country if you have 201 00:11:41,400 --> 00:11:42,760 Speaker 1: an option. I think a lot of you are going 202 00:11:42,800 --> 00:11:44,679 Speaker 1: to have to make this decision. I know COVID was 203 00:11:44,720 --> 00:11:47,800 Speaker 1: a spur, but when I look at where people are 204 00:11:47,840 --> 00:11:51,760 Speaker 1: moving from in my state and in my neighborhood, buck 205 00:11:52,160 --> 00:11:56,680 Speaker 1: overwhelmingly LA Chicago, New York City and the suburban areas there. 206 00:11:56,880 --> 00:12:00,679 Speaker 1: People are done. They're fed up. Unfortunately, take a while 207 00:12:00,960 --> 00:12:03,200 Speaker 1: till twenty thirty till we see the full impact of 208 00:12:03,240 --> 00:12:06,080 Speaker 1: this from a census perspective. But if you can leave Chicago, 209 00:12:06,360 --> 00:12:08,800 Speaker 1: especially if you have a family, I would leave. It's 210 00:12:08,800 --> 00:12:10,880 Speaker 1: really interesting. I mean, I'm actually looking at the full 211 00:12:10,960 --> 00:12:17,720 Speaker 1: endorsement list for Brandon Johnson. It is ultra left wing 212 00:12:17,960 --> 00:12:23,520 Speaker 1: socialist unions like the Teachers Union and others SEIU, Bernie 213 00:12:23,840 --> 00:12:27,680 Speaker 1: and Elizabeth, and then a whole bunch of community organizers, 214 00:12:28,200 --> 00:12:33,440 Speaker 1: the whole apparatus of community organizers who all they're talking 215 00:12:33,480 --> 00:12:36,080 Speaker 1: about in the case of Chicago is how they're going 216 00:12:36,120 --> 00:12:38,160 Speaker 1: to make things better for the residence of you know, 217 00:12:38,240 --> 00:12:41,640 Speaker 1: I'm looking here like the eleventh Ward, twelfth Ward, forty 218 00:12:41,679 --> 00:12:44,320 Speaker 1: eighth Ward forty eighth Ward. Neighbors for Justice is one 219 00:12:44,360 --> 00:12:46,720 Speaker 1: of the organizations that went for him, and they all 220 00:12:46,760 --> 00:12:49,199 Speaker 1: just supported a mayor who is going to result in 221 00:12:49,520 --> 00:12:52,240 Speaker 1: more young kids getting shot in the crossfire of gang 222 00:12:52,320 --> 00:12:54,960 Speaker 1: violence on the South Side. That is what they just did. 223 00:12:55,280 --> 00:12:58,320 Speaker 1: And it's a shame because because half Chicago knows what 224 00:12:58,400 --> 00:13:00,480 Speaker 1: the real deal was here, what should have been done. 225 00:13:00,559 --> 00:13:01,959 Speaker 1: I don't know how much worse it's gonna have to 226 00:13:02,000 --> 00:13:04,679 Speaker 1: get bucked, but they picked a worse mayor than Lorie Lightfoot, 227 00:13:04,679 --> 00:13:08,160 Speaker 1: who was the worst mayor in the country. And eventually, 228 00:13:08,200 --> 00:13:09,760 Speaker 1: I think there's going to be a pivot towards the 229 00:13:09,880 --> 00:13:13,080 Speaker 1: Juliannis and Bloombergs of the world, even in big left cities. 230 00:13:13,320 --> 00:13:14,960 Speaker 1: But I don't know how much longer it's gonna take. 231 00:13:15,320 --> 00:13:17,240 Speaker 1: If you own a small business, you know the value 232 00:13:17,240 --> 00:13:20,040 Speaker 1: of time.

So don't let this opportunity pass you by. 247 00:14:04,440 --> 00:14:08,320 Speaker 1: Because this payroll tax refund is only available for a 248 00:14:08,360 --> 00:14:11,720 Speaker 1: limited time, go to getrefunds dot Com.

Together, they're 250 00:14:18,320 --> 00:14:22,200 Speaker 1: breathing sanity into an insane world. Welcome back in Clay 251 00:14:22,240 --> 00:14:25,440 Speaker 1: Travis buck Sexton show. I appreciate all of you hanging 252 00:14:25,440 --> 00:14:28,960 Speaker 1: out with us as we are continuing to react to 253 00:14:29,040 --> 00:14:31,240 Speaker 1: the craziness that is going on in our country on 254 00:14:31,280 --> 00:14:33,440 Speaker 1: a day to day basis. The elections last night in 255 00:14:33,520 --> 00:14:38,000 Speaker 1: Chicago and in Wisconsin were a mess for everyone out 256 00:14:38,040 --> 00:14:41,320 Speaker 1: there who cares about truth. Justice and the American way. 257 00:14:41,880 --> 00:14:45,600 Speaker 1: Combine that with Trump being arrested, and I think it 258 00:14:45,720 --> 00:14:51,080 Speaker 1: all adds up to this situation where they care about 259 00:14:51,280 --> 00:14:57,520 Speaker 1: power more than we care about power muck, and they're 260 00:14:57,560 --> 00:15:02,920 Speaker 1: willing to do whatever it takes. And I just I 261 00:15:03,000 --> 00:15:10,520 Speaker 1: can't stop thinking about this freak result in Pennsylvania where 262 00:15:10,600 --> 00:15:14,520 Speaker 1: they put Fetterman in office, and how nobody's even paying 263 00:15:14,560 --> 00:15:16,760 Speaker 1: attention to the fact that he's effectively been in a 264 00:15:16,800 --> 00:15:19,000 Speaker 1: hospital now for three months since he got to DC. 265 00:15:19,120 --> 00:15:22,720 Speaker 1: He can't do the job. So Democrats have a not 266 00:15:22,760 --> 00:15:26,760 Speaker 1: only a maniacal fixation on power, but along with that 267 00:15:27,440 --> 00:15:33,640 Speaker 1: on winning. Was there any threat really of you know, 268 00:15:33,680 --> 00:15:37,920 Speaker 1: on mass in large numbers of a whoever the Democrat 269 00:15:37,960 --> 00:15:40,160 Speaker 1: nominee was going to be in twenty twenty? Were there 270 00:15:40,160 --> 00:15:42,760 Speaker 1: Democrats are saying, Oh, I won't I won't turn out 271 00:15:42,840 --> 00:15:45,560 Speaker 1: for that, you know, unless it's my Democrat, I won't 272 00:15:45,600 --> 00:15:48,720 Speaker 1: do it. No, yep. Was there a lot of Democrat 273 00:15:48,760 --> 00:15:52,200 Speaker 1: in fighting that cost them different races, different close races 274 00:15:52,200 --> 00:15:55,880 Speaker 1: in states? Or no? Because ultimately I don't know how 275 00:15:55,880 --> 00:15:58,240 Speaker 1: many Star Trek Nerds there are out there, which I'm 276 00:15:58,320 --> 00:15:59,640 Speaker 1: kind of I used to watch it when I was 277 00:15:59,640 --> 00:16:01,520 Speaker 1: a kid little bit more. But you know the Borg, 278 00:16:01,840 --> 00:16:04,760 Speaker 1: which is like the cyborgs that are all interconnected. The 279 00:16:04,840 --> 00:16:08,000 Speaker 1: Democrats are like the Borg. Okay, Ultimately they do whatever 280 00:16:08,040 --> 00:16:11,440 Speaker 1: they have to do to win the intergalactic war for power, 281 00:16:11,760 --> 00:16:14,360 Speaker 1: and we sit around going, well, I don't know if 282 00:16:14,480 --> 00:16:17,040 Speaker 1: that's you know, what would the founders have said about it? 283 00:16:17,280 --> 00:16:19,920 Speaker 1: You know, I'm just saying, we gotta get a little 284 00:16:19,960 --> 00:16:22,680 Speaker 1: ruthless on our team. This is my book, buck that now. 285 00:16:22,720 --> 00:16:25,640 Speaker 1: I believe it's coming out in August. It's a game plan. 286 00:16:26,640 --> 00:16:30,440 Speaker 1: If you keep getting your ass kicked, you're running the 287 00:16:30,480 --> 00:16:33,240 Speaker 1: wrong game plan, right, I mean, I just I don't 288 00:16:33,240 --> 00:16:35,240 Speaker 1: know how to say it otherwise, and you point it 289 00:16:35,240 --> 00:16:37,560 Speaker 1: out and it is fair. Glenn Young can won an 290 00:16:37,600 --> 00:16:42,360 Speaker 1: unexpected win in twenty twenty one, But basically, think about 291 00:16:42,360 --> 00:16:47,200 Speaker 1: the elections since twenty sixteen. How often have you been 292 00:16:47,640 --> 00:16:52,160 Speaker 1: super engaged, excited and thrilled with the result. If you 293 00:16:52,400 --> 00:16:57,360 Speaker 1: keep losing, sooner or later, you have to change the 294 00:16:57,440 --> 00:17:01,480 Speaker 1: game plan. You have to get astier, you have to 295 00:17:01,520 --> 00:17:05,160 Speaker 1: get more committed, you have to figure out how to win. 296 00:17:05,920 --> 00:17:07,879 Speaker 1: And the number of people I think back who just 297 00:17:07,880 --> 00:17:10,160 Speaker 1: sit around and say, well, you know, I think your 298 00:17:10,160 --> 00:17:13,240 Speaker 1: founder example is a good one. What would John Adams 299 00:17:13,280 --> 00:17:15,720 Speaker 1: have said about this? Well, John Adams would have kicked 300 00:17:15,760 --> 00:17:18,600 Speaker 1: the British's ass. He wouldn't have kept getting his ass kicked. 301 00:17:19,040 --> 00:17:22,080 Speaker 1: And I think we got way too few fighters out 302 00:17:22,119 --> 00:17:25,080 Speaker 1: there to be frank, way too many people looking over 303 00:17:25,160 --> 00:17:27,400 Speaker 1: their shoulder. What is the New York Times going to write? 304 00:17:27,400 --> 00:17:30,040 Speaker 1: If I say that, How's the Washington Post going to respond? 305 00:17:30,200 --> 00:17:34,080 Speaker 1: Sack up? You know, It's all that matters a scoreboard, man. 306 00:17:34,119 --> 00:17:36,399 Speaker 1: You know, I remember this when I played on teams, 307 00:17:36,560 --> 00:17:38,760 Speaker 1: or when I was even coaching a team. No matter 308 00:17:38,800 --> 00:17:41,160 Speaker 1: what the other team said, at the end of the game, 309 00:17:41,600 --> 00:17:44,840 Speaker 1: all that matter was a scoreboard. So best trash talk 310 00:17:44,920 --> 00:17:48,680 Speaker 1: is scoreboard. Yeah, that's it. So we gotta rack it up, friends, 311 00:17:48,720 --> 00:17:51,000 Speaker 1: which means also we got to be very honest about 312 00:17:51,000 --> 00:17:52,879 Speaker 1: where we're weak, where we're strong, and what needs to 313 00:17:52,920 --> 00:17:56,760 Speaker 1: be done.

Welcome back to Clay and Buck. 336 00:19:01,880 --> 00:19:09,080 Speaker 1: We talked about the unfortunate results in Wisconsin on the 337 00:19:09,400 --> 00:19:13,800 Speaker 1: Supreme Court there and and here's what here's what we 338 00:19:13,920 --> 00:19:15,600 Speaker 1: know and here's why. By the way, if we have 339 00:19:15,640 --> 00:19:20,080 Speaker 1: anybody with us on WISN Milwaukee listening in, you want 340 00:19:20,080 --> 00:19:22,960 Speaker 1: to you want to add some context. Remember we're trying 341 00:19:22,960 --> 00:19:25,280 Speaker 1: to cover all fifty states here in terms of politics. 342 00:19:25,320 --> 00:19:26,920 Speaker 1: So if there's something else you want to add into 343 00:19:26,920 --> 00:19:31,840 Speaker 1: our conversation about what happened in this Wisconsin Supreme Court race. 344 00:19:31,960 --> 00:19:35,040 Speaker 1: If you're a Wisconsinite and you've got some things to 345 00:19:35,080 --> 00:19:36,879 Speaker 1: throw our away, please do we always want to hear 346 00:19:36,920 --> 00:19:39,560 Speaker 1: that ground truth from you. Maybe you're an organizer trying 347 00:19:39,560 --> 00:19:42,720 Speaker 1: to help Dan Kelly get elected, but Dan Kelly did 348 00:19:42,760 --> 00:19:45,200 Speaker 1: not get elected, and we're going to get into why 349 00:19:45,280 --> 00:19:51,399 Speaker 1: this matters here in a moment, Janet proto Sawitz. She 350 00:19:51,680 --> 00:19:53,560 Speaker 1: is now, which is not an easy by the way, 351 00:19:53,600 --> 00:19:56,520 Speaker 1: I gotta can I tip the hat to myself on 352 00:19:56,560 --> 00:19:58,600 Speaker 1: that one. That's pretty good. It's not an easy name 353 00:19:58,640 --> 00:20:03,280 Speaker 1: to spell or say. She is the new Supreme Court 354 00:20:03,359 --> 00:20:07,600 Speaker 1: State Supreme Court Justice. Here is something that Kelly, in 355 00:20:07,680 --> 00:20:10,840 Speaker 1: his concession said that I just wanted to share with you. 356 00:20:10,840 --> 00:20:13,080 Speaker 1: Here's Dan Kelly play twenty three. I wish that in 357 00:20:13,119 --> 00:20:16,000 Speaker 1: a circumstance like this, I would be able to concede 358 00:20:16,000 --> 00:20:18,720 Speaker 1: to a worthy opponent, But I do not have a 359 00:20:18,800 --> 00:20:22,080 Speaker 1: worthy opponent to which I can concede. This was the 360 00:20:22,119 --> 00:20:28,359 Speaker 1: most deeply deceitful, dishonorable, despicable campaign I have ever seen 361 00:20:28,560 --> 00:20:34,640 Speaker 1: run for the courts. It was truly beneath contempt. I mean, 362 00:20:34,720 --> 00:20:36,359 Speaker 1: that's I gotta I don't know the last time I 363 00:20:36,440 --> 00:20:41,199 Speaker 1: heard someone in a concession speech throw some some party shots. 364 00:20:41,200 --> 00:20:43,200 Speaker 1: I'm sure it's happened. I just can't remember the last 365 00:20:43,200 --> 00:20:47,040 Speaker 1: time it happened like that. And and here's here's what 366 00:20:47,080 --> 00:20:51,280 Speaker 1: we know, Clay about what went down here. Turnout Republican 367 00:20:51,359 --> 00:20:56,040 Speaker 1: turnout was down in that state. Uh. They the Democrats 368 00:20:56,080 --> 00:20:58,639 Speaker 1: pumped in a lot of money. To our point about 369 00:20:58,640 --> 00:21:00,720 Speaker 1: how they just they figure out, Okay, what do we 370 00:21:00,760 --> 00:21:02,240 Speaker 1: have to win, what do we have to do? They 371 00:21:02,280 --> 00:21:08,240 Speaker 1: mobilize DNC, They mobilize these national organizations and whatever infrastructure 372 00:21:08,720 --> 00:21:10,640 Speaker 1: they can call on to bring the money in from 373 00:21:10,640 --> 00:21:15,119 Speaker 1: outside the state. I think they outspent Kelly something like 374 00:21:15,160 --> 00:21:17,199 Speaker 1: six by six million dollars. A lot of money went 375 00:21:17,240 --> 00:21:20,480 Speaker 1: into this race. And there's why, because now it's not 376 00:21:20,560 --> 00:21:23,880 Speaker 1: just one Supreme Court seat, it is now a liberal 377 00:21:23,920 --> 00:21:27,200 Speaker 1: majority on this Wisconsin State Supreme Court. For the first 378 00:21:27,240 --> 00:21:30,600 Speaker 1: time in fifteen years. Guess what is going to happen now. 379 00:21:30,920 --> 00:21:34,560 Speaker 1: They're gonna move at the first opportunity to get rid 380 00:21:34,560 --> 00:21:36,840 Speaker 1: of voter ID. All someone has to do is try 381 00:21:36,840 --> 00:21:38,680 Speaker 1: to challenge voter ID and they're gonna say, oh, yeah, 382 00:21:38,680 --> 00:21:40,160 Speaker 1: you're right, we don't need voter ID in this state. 383 00:21:40,200 --> 00:21:42,080 Speaker 1: Voter ID is not okay. They're gonna get rid of 384 00:21:42,160 --> 00:21:47,240 Speaker 1: voter ID. And proto say, WITS is already on the 385 00:21:47,280 --> 00:21:51,120 Speaker 1: record being up opposing that they're gonna do maximum ballot harvesting. 386 00:21:51,119 --> 00:21:54,760 Speaker 1: They're going to shape now They're going to well, not now, 387 00:21:54,800 --> 00:21:57,160 Speaker 1: but when the new you know judges seated, they're going 388 00:21:57,200 --> 00:22:00,560 Speaker 1: to shape the Wisconsin battleground so that a Democrat will win. 389 00:22:01,280 --> 00:22:06,240 Speaker 1: And what is our response to this? They are better again, 390 00:22:06,359 --> 00:22:09,840 Speaker 1: I come back to. Their game plan is better. They 391 00:22:09,880 --> 00:22:14,880 Speaker 1: are more devious, They recognize pressure points better, they figure 392 00:22:14,960 --> 00:22:19,320 Speaker 1: out how to attack those pressure points. They marshal their 393 00:22:19,320 --> 00:22:23,840 Speaker 1: resources better. They have a better ground game, they have 394 00:22:23,960 --> 00:22:28,040 Speaker 1: a better attack. They are better at getting their candidates elected. 395 00:22:28,760 --> 00:22:30,919 Speaker 1: And you can sit back and you can be upset, 396 00:22:30,960 --> 00:22:32,680 Speaker 1: and you could say, oh, why in the world are 397 00:22:32,720 --> 00:22:35,679 Speaker 1: you saying that you could be upset about it, or 398 00:22:36,440 --> 00:22:40,760 Speaker 1: you can start to make decisions in your life to 399 00:22:41,440 --> 00:22:44,360 Speaker 1: try and mirror some of the things that they're doing. 400 00:22:44,400 --> 00:22:47,520 Speaker 1: Buck and Eye got some criticism in the twenty twenty 401 00:22:47,520 --> 00:22:49,720 Speaker 1: two numbers and when they came out and we said, look, 402 00:22:50,680 --> 00:22:54,040 Speaker 1: they're way better at getting votes cast early. And you 403 00:22:54,080 --> 00:22:56,399 Speaker 1: can sit around and say we have election day, not 404 00:22:56,560 --> 00:23:00,320 Speaker 1: election month. I understand. I wish that were the rule. 405 00:23:00,760 --> 00:23:03,520 Speaker 1: But if the choices you either win election month or 406 00:23:03,640 --> 00:23:06,840 Speaker 1: you lose, then I think you have to adopt election month. 407 00:23:06,880 --> 00:23:10,000 Speaker 1: And let me just give you a sports analogy. If 408 00:23:10,720 --> 00:23:13,720 Speaker 1: you have decided we're only going to run the football 409 00:23:13,960 --> 00:23:17,399 Speaker 1: on every play, and the other team comes out and 410 00:23:17,440 --> 00:23:19,800 Speaker 1: they spread the field and they throw the ball all 411 00:23:19,840 --> 00:23:23,240 Speaker 1: over the place and they are consistently beating you, at 412 00:23:23,280 --> 00:23:24,879 Speaker 1: some point, don't you have to say, hey, maybe we 413 00:23:24,880 --> 00:23:27,840 Speaker 1: should use the forward past two. And that's why I 414 00:23:27,840 --> 00:23:31,160 Speaker 1: think sports can be instructive if you run the game 415 00:23:31,160 --> 00:23:33,680 Speaker 1: plan that you are planning. Buck, you coached high school soccer, 416 00:23:33,720 --> 00:23:36,160 Speaker 1: I've coached lots of Little league, played sports, obviously talked 417 00:23:36,200 --> 00:23:38,760 Speaker 1: about sports for a long time. If you run your 418 00:23:38,760 --> 00:23:42,119 Speaker 1: game plan and you execute it and you get your 419 00:23:42,160 --> 00:23:45,720 Speaker 1: ass kicked, your game plan wasn't the right one. It's 420 00:23:45,720 --> 00:23:47,800 Speaker 1: time to go back to the drawing board and design 421 00:23:47,840 --> 00:23:49,960 Speaker 1: a new one. And it's past time for Republicans to 422 00:23:50,000 --> 00:23:54,320 Speaker 1: do that. And I do think, and I give credit 423 00:23:54,400 --> 00:23:57,119 Speaker 1: to our friend and fellow Premier host Jesse Kelly for 424 00:23:57,160 --> 00:24:00,879 Speaker 1: really hammering this point a lot on his show and 425 00:24:01,160 --> 00:24:04,080 Speaker 1: on his Twitter. It is really important though, that we 426 00:24:04,160 --> 00:24:08,320 Speaker 1: get this question from people who are saying, how can we? 427 00:24:09,040 --> 00:24:11,320 Speaker 1: You know, how could we If they control the school board, 428 00:24:11,359 --> 00:24:13,439 Speaker 1: if they control the state Supreme Court, if they control 429 00:24:13,480 --> 00:24:15,440 Speaker 1: the mayor or the governor, you know, what can we do? 430 00:24:15,880 --> 00:24:19,800 Speaker 1: The point is they've set in place. The left and 431 00:24:19,800 --> 00:24:25,200 Speaker 1: the Democrats have sented placed these campaigns and mechanisms for 432 00:24:25,240 --> 00:24:29,280 Speaker 1: a long time, and they start at a low and 433 00:24:29,440 --> 00:24:31,320 Speaker 1: local level a lot of the time. I know there's 434 00:24:31,320 --> 00:24:34,399 Speaker 1: the national AstroTurf, you know, top down money stuff too, 435 00:24:34,960 --> 00:24:38,840 Speaker 1: but Democrats show up to school board stuff and get 436 00:24:38,840 --> 00:24:42,600 Speaker 1: elected and have been doing it for years. Democrats organized. 437 00:24:43,000 --> 00:24:45,040 Speaker 1: I looked at this, I've never even heard of these, 438 00:24:45,040 --> 00:24:47,960 Speaker 1: all these different community organizer groups in Chicago that came 439 00:24:48,000 --> 00:24:50,199 Speaker 1: out play There are dozens and dozens of them that 440 00:24:50,280 --> 00:24:53,439 Speaker 1: came out for Brandon Johnson. Yeah, they've been set and 441 00:24:53,520 --> 00:24:56,840 Speaker 1: that they are all funded and organized, and there's voting 442 00:24:56,840 --> 00:24:59,400 Speaker 1: machinery that they you know, they get out the vote 443 00:24:59,440 --> 00:25:02,880 Speaker 1: effort every think. So when people say what can we do, yeah, 444 00:25:02,920 --> 00:25:06,119 Speaker 1: there's no simple answer. Now, it's not all we'll just 445 00:25:06,160 --> 00:25:08,280 Speaker 1: do this right. I mean, this is like if someone 446 00:25:08,440 --> 00:25:11,760 Speaker 1: wants to have a conversation about, you know, I want 447 00:25:12,640 --> 00:25:14,800 Speaker 1: to get in better shape. I want to lose fat 448 00:25:14,800 --> 00:25:18,119 Speaker 1: and build muscle. Anyone who tells you just drink you know, 449 00:25:19,440 --> 00:25:23,320 Speaker 1: drink prune juice every day, that is not going to work. 450 00:25:23,680 --> 00:25:26,120 Speaker 1: There's a whole bunch of things that have to be done. 451 00:25:26,200 --> 00:25:28,920 Speaker 1: The number one answer, buck is you can't keep doing 452 00:25:28,960 --> 00:25:32,040 Speaker 1: the exact same thing that's exactly right, and what it 453 00:25:32,040 --> 00:25:35,880 Speaker 1: actually requires is looking at a bunch of different things 454 00:25:35,920 --> 00:25:39,439 Speaker 1: that are going to take time and discipline and build 455 00:25:39,480 --> 00:25:42,480 Speaker 1: them up over time. So the answer to will you know, 456 00:25:42,480 --> 00:25:44,439 Speaker 1: why do we lose by so much in Wisconsin is 457 00:25:44,480 --> 00:25:46,880 Speaker 1: that if you look back in recent years, you will 458 00:25:46,880 --> 00:25:50,040 Speaker 1: see that since Trump's election in twenty sixteen, who's done 459 00:25:50,080 --> 00:25:54,280 Speaker 1: more on the ground organizing, who's got more institutional power 460 00:25:54,400 --> 00:25:57,879 Speaker 1: in place to get votes for governor for you know whatever? Right, 461 00:25:57,920 --> 00:26:00,280 Speaker 1: go down the list. Now, that doesn't mean that they're 462 00:26:00,280 --> 00:26:01,920 Speaker 1: always going to win. I'm sure people say, well, what 463 00:26:02,000 --> 00:26:05,040 Speaker 1: about you know, Ron Johnson won, Yeah, but look how 464 00:26:05,040 --> 00:26:07,719 Speaker 1: close it was twenty six thousand votes. I think and 465 00:26:07,800 --> 00:26:11,800 Speaker 1: Ron's a super strong candidate and you know, obviously done 466 00:26:11,800 --> 00:26:14,760 Speaker 1: a really good job representing Wisconsin. My point just being 467 00:26:15,400 --> 00:26:17,080 Speaker 1: when people write in and they say, I don't know, 468 00:26:17,119 --> 00:26:19,840 Speaker 1: I'm thinking about and this is where I give credit 469 00:26:19,840 --> 00:26:22,960 Speaker 1: to Jesse. I'm thinking about going for the school board. 470 00:26:23,000 --> 00:26:26,280 Speaker 1: I'm thinking about getting involved. The answer that is yes, 471 00:26:26,960 --> 00:26:29,240 Speaker 1: it's not. Oh, but you know, they control all the 472 00:26:29,280 --> 00:26:32,360 Speaker 1: other stuff. They will continue to control all the other 473 00:26:32,520 --> 00:26:34,679 Speaker 1: stuff unless some of the people that are listening this 474 00:26:34,800 --> 00:26:38,320 Speaker 1: right now, for example, build your own NGEO, build your 475 00:26:38,320 --> 00:26:43,000 Speaker 1: own you know, activist community for conservatism, constitutionalism, the rule 476 00:26:43,040 --> 00:26:46,000 Speaker 1: of law, whatever it may be. Because they've been putting 477 00:26:46,000 --> 00:26:47,960 Speaker 1: this stuff in place for a long time, which is 478 00:26:47,960 --> 00:26:52,159 Speaker 1: why even with disastrous results, they the Democrats, can push 479 00:26:52,240 --> 00:26:55,280 Speaker 1: votes out that keep them in power, because at the 480 00:26:55,359 --> 00:26:56,760 Speaker 1: end of the day, it's about who gets the votes. 481 00:26:57,200 --> 00:27:01,119 Speaker 1: I would also say this copy everything Florida has done 482 00:27:02,080 --> 00:27:05,000 Speaker 1: because if you again, if you want a positive story, 483 00:27:05,200 --> 00:27:08,679 Speaker 1: Chicago is an awful story. Today. I feel bad for 484 00:27:08,720 --> 00:27:11,920 Speaker 1: everyone who has to stay in Chicago and deal with 485 00:27:12,160 --> 00:27:15,040 Speaker 1: that awfulness because that's where your job is and you 486 00:27:15,119 --> 00:27:18,199 Speaker 1: don't have the ability to move right. And that's probably 487 00:27:18,240 --> 00:27:22,639 Speaker 1: millions of people. Wisconsin is a bad story. Certainly, the 488 00:27:22,720 --> 00:27:26,359 Speaker 1: Trump indictment is a bad story. If you want a positive, 489 00:27:27,000 --> 00:27:29,879 Speaker 1: it is that Florida has become, in the space of 490 00:27:29,920 --> 00:27:33,919 Speaker 1: four years, a solidly red state. They have flipped the 491 00:27:34,000 --> 00:27:37,199 Speaker 1: advantage that Democrats had in that state and they have 492 00:27:37,320 --> 00:27:41,320 Speaker 1: kicked ass. And so one of the lessons it's the 493 00:27:41,359 --> 00:27:43,920 Speaker 1: same thing from the world of sports. Find someone who 494 00:27:43,920 --> 00:27:49,040 Speaker 1: has a good playbook and copy right. So whatever incredible 495 00:27:49,160 --> 00:27:52,840 Speaker 1: dunk you've seen someone do, you can go do it too. 496 00:27:53,000 --> 00:27:57,760 Speaker 1: And basketball and football in particular, they will steal whatever 497 00:27:57,880 --> 00:28:01,680 Speaker 1: plays work and put it in their playbook and try 498 00:28:01,720 --> 00:28:06,080 Speaker 1: to use it to win games. Look at what works 499 00:28:06,320 --> 00:28:09,280 Speaker 1: and replicate it. It's not rocket science. A part of 500 00:28:09,320 --> 00:28:12,680 Speaker 1: it is figuring out who the right candidates are. I 501 00:28:12,760 --> 00:28:16,800 Speaker 1: think we've been somewhat load to pick good candidates. But 502 00:28:16,920 --> 00:28:18,439 Speaker 1: when you look, and that's why I keep coming back 503 00:28:18,480 --> 00:28:21,840 Speaker 1: to Pennsylvania. If you want an illustration of what commitment, 504 00:28:22,240 --> 00:28:28,760 Speaker 1: drive and ruthlessness looks like, it's not twenty twenty. It's 505 00:28:28,800 --> 00:28:31,840 Speaker 1: twenty twenty two, and it's the state of Pennsylvania, and 506 00:28:31,920 --> 00:28:35,320 Speaker 1: it's John Fetterman's election. Because as soon as they can 507 00:28:35,359 --> 00:28:39,200 Speaker 1: get that guy in office, they have got the mechanisms 508 00:28:39,240 --> 00:28:41,960 Speaker 1: to be able to pull and they will be hooked 509 00:28:42,040 --> 00:28:45,480 Speaker 1: up in a monster way for years and years to come. 510 00:28:45,880 --> 00:28:47,960 Speaker 1: Gotta start stealing some of their playbook and got to 511 00:28:48,040 --> 00:28:51,520 Speaker 1: run it as good or better than them. Look, I 512 00:28:51,560 --> 00:28:54,440 Speaker 1: want to tell you, if you are trying right now 513 00:28:54,920 --> 00:28:57,440 Speaker 1: to make a good decision in the stock market, it's 514 00:28:57,440 --> 00:29:01,280 Speaker 1: been brutal.

His own side isn't willing 552 00:31:12,160 --> 00:31:16,440 Speaker 1: to carry water for him. First, here's Carrie Cordero saying, yeah, 553 00:31:16,440 --> 00:31:18,920 Speaker 1: this is an underwhelming case. Is it what you thought 554 00:31:18,920 --> 00:31:22,960 Speaker 1: it was going to be? And are you unimpressed? It 555 00:31:23,040 --> 00:31:24,800 Speaker 1: is what I thought it was going to be in 556 00:31:24,920 --> 00:31:28,960 Speaker 1: terms of focusing on the payments that were made, the 557 00:31:29,000 --> 00:31:33,400 Speaker 1: falsification of the records and really tied to the payment 558 00:31:33,440 --> 00:31:36,760 Speaker 1: that was made to Stormy Daniels. In terms of a 559 00:31:36,880 --> 00:31:40,920 Speaker 1: case that's being brought against a former president, it's a 560 00:31:40,920 --> 00:31:45,840 Speaker 1: little underwhelming. Underwhelming. Van Jones says, it's not much of 561 00:31:45,840 --> 00:31:48,320 Speaker 1: a pebble. Listen, if this is the only pebble it 562 00:31:48,440 --> 00:31:51,280 Speaker 1: gets thrown at Donald Trump, it's a very small pebble. 563 00:31:51,400 --> 00:31:54,120 Speaker 1: If it's the first pebble in an avalanche of other 564 00:31:54,200 --> 00:31:57,240 Speaker 1: indictments that strike more to the heart of I think 565 00:31:57,240 --> 00:31:59,640 Speaker 1: people's core concern about Donald Trump, which is his threat 566 00:31:59,680 --> 00:32:01,720 Speaker 1: to theocracy. So if this is the first pebble, the 567 00:32:01,720 --> 00:32:04,280 Speaker 1: next one is about the election interference in Georgia, the 568 00:32:04,320 --> 00:32:07,080 Speaker 1: next one is about the coup, the insurrection January six, 569 00:32:07,200 --> 00:32:09,640 Speaker 1: The next one's about and hoarding these documents and when 570 00:32:09,720 --> 00:32:12,160 Speaker 1: why Then it begins to fit. But if this is 571 00:32:12,200 --> 00:32:14,400 Speaker 1: the only pebble, it's not much of the pebble. And 572 00:32:14,480 --> 00:32:17,280 Speaker 1: I do think the backlash against this pebble might cow 573 00:32:17,400 --> 00:32:19,720 Speaker 1: other people who might otherwise have been courageous enough to 574 00:32:19,720 --> 00:32:24,560 Speaker 1: step forward interesting different, different angle than what I have, 575 00:32:24,560 --> 00:32:26,320 Speaker 1: which is, I think this means the other cases or 576 00:32:26,480 --> 00:32:30,200 Speaker 1: much look much stronger by comparison. And at this point, 577 00:32:30,240 --> 00:32:32,320 Speaker 1: but you know, hey, you got to get in the 578 00:32:32,360 --> 00:32:35,520 Speaker 1: mind of the people that are trying to get trumpet 579 00:32:35,560 --> 00:32:40,040 Speaker 1: at all costs. We got Kirk in eu Claire, Wisconsin, 580 00:32:40,200 --> 00:32:43,720 Speaker 1: some thoughts on the on the state Supreme Court election there. 581 00:32:43,800 --> 00:32:47,200 Speaker 1: What's going on? Kirk? Well, Hi, guys, First I want 582 00:32:47,200 --> 00:32:49,920 Speaker 1: to say, you guys, do Russia tribute every single day. 583 00:32:49,960 --> 00:32:55,000 Speaker 1: Appreciate your show. You we try. Secondly, I want to 584 00:32:55,000 --> 00:32:59,080 Speaker 1: say that m. Dan Kelly is like the boxer who 585 00:32:59,160 --> 00:33:01,920 Speaker 1: lets the a's his opponent just continue to punch him 586 00:33:01,920 --> 00:33:05,000 Speaker 1: and doesn't fight back and then squeals when they lose. 587 00:33:05,720 --> 00:33:12,200 Speaker 1: And Kelly didn't really do anything. The opponents ran relentless 588 00:33:12,200 --> 00:33:16,120 Speaker 1: smear commercials. Never once did Kelly, you know, stand in 589 00:33:16,160 --> 00:33:19,200 Speaker 1: front of the camera and say Hi, I'm Dan Kelly. 590 00:33:19,360 --> 00:33:21,920 Speaker 1: I'm running for Supreme Courts. So you think just bad, 591 00:33:22,080 --> 00:33:25,840 Speaker 1: bad campaign, right, Just a bad campaign run by Kelly 592 00:33:25,920 --> 00:33:29,720 Speaker 1: is a big part of this horrible campaign. Yeah. I 593 00:33:29,720 --> 00:33:31,760 Speaker 1: mean it's tough to you know, the candidate that the 594 00:33:31,760 --> 00:33:34,520 Speaker 1: campaign matters. I mean, that's candidate matters. But when you 595 00:33:34,520 --> 00:33:37,040 Speaker 1: get outspent by six million dollars, I think a lot 596 00:33:37,040 --> 00:33:39,280 Speaker 1: of people would say it doesn't matter how much you 597 00:33:39,480 --> 00:33:43,480 Speaker 1: campaign or how aggressively you do. The body blow of 598 00:33:43,560 --> 00:33:47,200 Speaker 1: that repetition. And let me just say that, speaking of repetition, 599 00:33:47,840 --> 00:33:51,440 Speaker 1: we have a ten year high in ratings in Milwaukee. 600 00:33:51,600 --> 00:33:54,320 Speaker 1: So for everybody out there listening to us in Wisconsin 601 00:33:54,480 --> 00:33:59,520 Speaker 1: right now, Wi s N responding very favorably. I think 602 00:33:59,560 --> 00:34:04,760 Speaker 1: there is a deep reservoir of demand out there for 603 00:34:05,720 --> 00:34:10,760 Speaker 1: people in Wisconsin and for sanity to govern. And certainly 604 00:34:10,800 --> 00:34:13,000 Speaker 1: we have had Ron Johnson on this program a lot, 605 00:34:13,040 --> 00:34:15,120 Speaker 1: and we like to think that we were helpful in 606 00:34:15,280 --> 00:34:17,680 Speaker 1: ensuring I believe he only won by like twenty six 607 00:34:17,719 --> 00:34:21,759 Speaker 1: thousand votes, and that to me means that there is 608 00:34:21,800 --> 00:34:24,399 Speaker 1: a receptive audience. When I see the number of people 609 00:34:24,400 --> 00:34:27,360 Speaker 1: that are listening to us right now in Wisconsin and 610 00:34:28,040 --> 00:34:30,080 Speaker 1: helping us, as you just heard from that caller, continue 611 00:34:30,120 --> 00:34:32,840 Speaker 1: the legacy of the battle that Rush has fought. I 612 00:34:32,880 --> 00:34:35,480 Speaker 1: think it's because so many people in Wisconsin in particular, 613 00:34:35,520 --> 00:34:40,080 Speaker 1: which is a battleground, are responding to sanity and to 614 00:34:40,480 --> 00:34:43,160 Speaker 1: the idea of trying to put the country back on 615 00:34:43,239 --> 00:34:45,880 Speaker 1: a sound footing. And when I see that in the 616 00:34:45,880 --> 00:34:49,880 Speaker 1: battleground states, it lets me know that there actually is 617 00:34:50,040 --> 00:34:55,040 Speaker 1: a fertile, welcoming opportunity for these arguments. So we just 618 00:34:55,080 --> 00:34:56,920 Speaker 1: want to say thank you to everybody who's listening all 619 00:34:56,920 --> 00:35:00,239 Speaker 1: over the state of Wisconsin, but in particular wisn because 620 00:35:00,239 --> 00:35:03,920 Speaker 1: you guys are driving that message so thoroughly throughout the state. 621 00:35:04,600 --> 00:35:06,480 Speaker 1: And also got do you want to do the VIP 622 00:35:06,680 --> 00:35:09,200 Speaker 1: email by the way, YEA hit us with it. Janet, 623 00:35:09,239 --> 00:35:11,960 Speaker 1: we got a ton of them today. Janet what's her 624 00:35:12,040 --> 00:35:15,800 Speaker 1: name started campaigning at least with two with TV ads 625 00:35:15,840 --> 00:35:18,520 Speaker 1: about two to three weeks before dan Kelly, and they 626 00:35:18,520 --> 00:35:21,120 Speaker 1: were vicious. She hammered him for a while about defending 627 00:35:21,120 --> 00:35:23,399 Speaker 1: a criminal in court. She dropped that ad and went 628 00:35:23,440 --> 00:35:25,600 Speaker 1: full in on abortion rights. I think if dan Kelly 629 00:35:25,640 --> 00:35:28,440 Speaker 1: had reacted and jumped in earlier, he might have taken it. 630 00:35:28,640 --> 00:35:31,040 Speaker 1: His TV ads were too late an anemic. To your point, 631 00:35:31,080 --> 00:35:34,200 Speaker 1: Clay Well, I mean, how do you win it? How 632 00:35:34,200 --> 00:35:36,120 Speaker 1: do you win a TV war with six million less 633 00:35:36,120 --> 00:35:38,920 Speaker 1: dollars if his TV ads were too late in anemic 634 00:35:38,960 --> 00:35:41,080 Speaker 1: because because he didn't have enough money, because the Democrats 635 00:35:41,080 --> 00:35:44,319 Speaker 1: were far better organized. And let me just say this one. 636 00:35:44,400 --> 00:35:46,960 Speaker 1: I don't like the idea of Supreme Court elections being 637 00:35:47,000 --> 00:35:49,320 Speaker 1: head to head because effectively you know how the judge 638 00:35:49,360 --> 00:35:51,600 Speaker 1: is going to govern, and that to me is the 639 00:35:51,640 --> 00:35:55,000 Speaker 1: opposite of what you want from an independent judiciary. But 640 00:35:55,360 --> 00:35:58,480 Speaker 1: I read all about this race. She won on abortion, 641 00:35:59,360 --> 00:36:01,160 Speaker 1: and I think a lot of you out there have 642 00:36:01,239 --> 00:36:03,720 Speaker 1: to keep this in mind. Republicans running again in twenty 643 00:36:03,760 --> 00:36:06,000 Speaker 1: twenty four, the abortion issue is under the radar a 644 00:36:06,000 --> 00:36:09,080 Speaker 1: little bit, but Joe Biden is going to make abortion 645 00:36:09,200 --> 00:36:12,000 Speaker 1: central to his twenty twenty four campaign, so you need 646 00:36:12,040 --> 00:36:14,359 Speaker 1: to have an answer on that. Even though, Buck, I 647 00:36:14,400 --> 00:36:17,400 Speaker 1: think by and large a lot of people think and 648 00:36:17,520 --> 00:36:20,040 Speaker 1: have seen in their own states there's not that much 649 00:36:20,080 --> 00:36:22,440 Speaker 1: different now that Roe v. Wade has been overturned, right, 650 00:36:22,480 --> 00:36:24,360 Speaker 1: Like there was this idea that, oh, my goodness, the 651 00:36:24,400 --> 00:36:27,520 Speaker 1: world's gonna come undone. I think for most people, life's 652 00:36:27,560 --> 00:36:31,319 Speaker 1: not very much different than it was before. Look, I 653 00:36:31,360 --> 00:36:34,520 Speaker 1: think that's definitely going to be something we continue to 654 00:36:35,040 --> 00:36:37,919 Speaker 1: see come up in these elections at the state level, 655 00:36:37,960 --> 00:36:40,840 Speaker 1: for sure. But at the end of the day, it 656 00:36:41,040 --> 00:36:45,560 Speaker 1: is about getting things lined up. The ground game, the money, 657 00:36:45,600 --> 00:36:48,520 Speaker 1: the messaging. We got to focus Clay because we gotta 658 00:36:48,560 --> 00:36:49,520 Speaker 1: get some wins on the board.
