1
00:00:00,400 --> 00:00:05,280
Speaker 1: The clock is sticking. The mid terms are coming, and

2
00:00:05,519 --> 00:00:09,680
Speaker 1: this is clay in Bucks countdown to Election Day podcast

3
00:00:09,920 --> 00:00:14,560
Speaker 1: candidates coverage at Analysis you won't hear anywhere else, bringing

4
00:00:14,640 --> 00:00:18,320
Speaker 1: you you into el each week. Let's go Kelly Shabaka.

5
00:00:18,440 --> 00:00:22,040
Speaker 1: She is the Republican candidate in the Alaska Senate race.

6
00:00:22,120 --> 00:00:25,640
Speaker 1: She is trying to replace Lisa Murkowski despite the fact

7
00:00:26,280 --> 00:00:29,880
Speaker 1: that Mitch McConnell is spending millions and millions of dollars

8
00:00:29,880 --> 00:00:31,880
Speaker 1: against her. And I just want to start right there

9
00:00:32,800 --> 00:00:34,800
Speaker 1: because I think this is such an important part of

10
00:00:34,840 --> 00:00:37,840
Speaker 1: this story, Kelly, and thanks for joining us. How much

11
00:00:37,840 --> 00:00:43,440
Speaker 1: money has the head of the Senate Republican Party effectively

12
00:00:43,880 --> 00:00:47,720
Speaker 1: spent to try to keep you from being elected in

13
00:00:47,840 --> 00:00:51,160
Speaker 1: favor of Lisa Murkowski, who wasn't even willing to vote

14
00:00:51,159 --> 00:00:54,080
Speaker 1: for Brett Kavanaugh to be on the Supreme Court. And

15
00:00:54,200 --> 00:00:56,480
Speaker 1: great question, and well, it's always wonderful to be with you.

16
00:00:56,560 --> 00:00:59,200
Speaker 1: Thank you for having me. He pledged up to nine

17
00:00:59,280 --> 00:01:02,840
Speaker 1: million dollars, So to give you a grasp of this,

18
00:01:03,120 --> 00:01:05,800
Speaker 1: that's more money spent in dark money in our state

19
00:01:06,280 --> 00:01:09,479
Speaker 1: than both Murkowski and I've spent combined in our elections.

20
00:01:10,040 --> 00:01:12,800
Speaker 1: And when he pledged that money. She said, Mitch, you've

21
00:01:12,800 --> 00:01:15,440
Speaker 1: always been there for me, I'll be there for you.

22
00:01:15,680 --> 00:01:19,520
Speaker 1: So there's this obvious trading of favors that's happening, and

23
00:01:19,720 --> 00:01:23,840
Speaker 1: she's clearly wearing the jersey of team McConnell, Team Biden,

24
00:01:23,920 --> 00:01:27,200
Speaker 1: Team Pelosi. We've got several candidates on the ballot for

25
00:01:27,200 --> 00:01:30,560
Speaker 1: a House and she's endorsed and is now campaigning with

26
00:01:30,760 --> 00:01:34,399
Speaker 1: the only one candidate who will caucus with Nancy Pelosi

27
00:01:34,480 --> 00:01:36,640
Speaker 1: as Speaker of the House. That's not good for Alaska

28
00:01:36,720 --> 00:01:40,560
Speaker 1: or for America. This is somebody who's clearly not a Republican.

29
00:01:40,640 --> 00:01:44,080
Speaker 1: Our Republican Party censured her and removed her from membership

30
00:01:44,120 --> 00:01:48,080
Speaker 1: before I ever announced my candidacy, and yet McConnell's throwing

31
00:01:48,120 --> 00:01:51,200
Speaker 1: all this money behind her because she's an obvious dependable

32
00:01:51,280 --> 00:01:55,360
Speaker 1: vote for the establishment. She's Team DC, Team Establishment, controlled

33
00:01:55,360 --> 00:01:58,040
Speaker 1: and bought and bullied by them, and she's not playing

34
00:01:58,080 --> 00:02:00,280
Speaker 1: for Team Alaska. I think that this is a kind

35
00:02:00,280 --> 00:02:02,360
Speaker 1: of person that the word swamp was created for, a

36
00:02:02,440 --> 00:02:05,800
Speaker 1: career politician who works for the DC insiders and not

37
00:02:05,880 --> 00:02:08,440
Speaker 1: for her constituents. And that's why I'm confident we're going

38
00:02:08,480 --> 00:02:11,239
Speaker 1: to win next Tuesday and if people want to help

39
00:02:11,240 --> 00:02:14,800
Speaker 1: out and learn more. I'm at Kelly for AKA dot com. Okay,

40
00:02:14,880 --> 00:02:17,960
Speaker 1: so building off that, I just want to nine million

41
00:02:17,960 --> 00:02:20,679
Speaker 1: dollars is a lot of money anywhere. It is an

42
00:02:20,680 --> 00:02:25,080
Speaker 1: absolute landslide of money in Alaska, given as you just said,

43
00:02:25,120 --> 00:02:27,919
Speaker 1: the size and scope of money that's typically spent there

44
00:02:28,520 --> 00:02:31,640
Speaker 1: not even enough to get nine million dollars potentially from

45
00:02:31,639 --> 00:02:35,640
Speaker 1: Mitch McConnell. They also rigged the way that Alaskans vote

46
00:02:35,800 --> 00:02:39,200
Speaker 1: to protect Lisa Murkowski. I think this is important as

47
00:02:39,200 --> 00:02:42,480
Speaker 1: we're five days out, explained to the nation but also

48
00:02:42,560 --> 00:02:45,000
Speaker 1: to Alaskans what's going on and what they need to

49
00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:48,399
Speaker 1: do to elect you. Yeah, I think accurately. It's called

50
00:02:48,400 --> 00:02:51,920
Speaker 1: the Murkowski voting system. It's her allies and campaign staff

51
00:02:51,960 --> 00:02:57,320
Speaker 1: who were caught in undercover videos disclosing that they deceived

52
00:02:57,360 --> 00:03:01,200
Speaker 1: Alaskan voters by running a bat an initiative two years

53
00:03:01,200 --> 00:03:03,920
Speaker 1: ago saying they would get rid of dark money in Alaska.

54
00:03:03,960 --> 00:03:07,280
Speaker 1: Obviously that didn't happen, and so Alaskan's voted for it

55
00:03:07,320 --> 00:03:10,000
Speaker 1: and ushered in ranked choice. That means that we got

56
00:03:10,080 --> 00:03:12,720
Speaker 1: rid of party primaries. She would have lost her seat

57
00:03:12,720 --> 00:03:16,600
Speaker 1: in a party primary and instead everybody ran against each other.

58
00:03:17,200 --> 00:03:19,280
Speaker 1: There are four candidates with the most votes now go

59
00:03:19,360 --> 00:03:22,880
Speaker 1: to the general election. That's me, Murkowski, a Democrat who

60
00:03:22,919 --> 00:03:26,720
Speaker 1: only got six percents because the Democrats are voting for Murkowski.

61
00:03:27,160 --> 00:03:29,560
Speaker 1: And then there was another candidate who since has suspended

62
00:03:29,600 --> 00:03:32,560
Speaker 1: his campaign and has endorsed me. So functionally, there's three

63
00:03:32,600 --> 00:03:35,200
Speaker 1: of us on the ballot. If I don't cross fifty

64
00:03:35,240 --> 00:03:38,960
Speaker 1: percent on election night on round one, then the fourth

65
00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:41,240
Speaker 1: and the third candidates a Democrat and the fourth guy

66
00:03:41,640 --> 00:03:44,440
Speaker 1: they'll drop off, and their second place votes and third

67
00:03:44,440 --> 00:03:47,400
Speaker 1: place votes they'll go up to me and Murkowski, and

68
00:03:47,480 --> 00:03:50,240
Speaker 1: whoever has the most votes after those rounds. That's how

69
00:03:50,240 --> 00:03:53,360
Speaker 1: they determine the winner. That's what makes this race so close.

70
00:03:53,640 --> 00:03:56,520
Speaker 1: The poles are saying it's tied fifty fifty because of

71
00:03:56,600 --> 00:03:59,360
Speaker 1: round two and round three, and it's the closest and

72
00:03:59,480 --> 00:04:02,160
Speaker 1: least six of Senate race in the nation. But we

73
00:04:02,240 --> 00:04:04,600
Speaker 1: have a really, really good chance of winning because I've

74
00:04:04,640 --> 00:04:07,320
Speaker 1: been out there knocking thousands of doors across the State'll

75
00:04:07,320 --> 00:04:10,560
Speaker 1: be out there today knocking doors in this storm that

76
00:04:10,600 --> 00:04:13,880
Speaker 1: we're having, and I'm really confident that Alaskans are ready

77
00:04:13,920 --> 00:04:16,120
Speaker 1: for a change. My opponent hasn't knocked a single door

78
00:04:16,160 --> 00:04:18,640
Speaker 1: in twenty one years. She prefers to campaign with these

79
00:04:19,080 --> 00:04:21,800
Speaker 1: dark money ads from DC. But Alaskans, you know, if

80
00:04:21,800 --> 00:04:23,520
Speaker 1: you've got a finger on the pulse, they're ready for

81
00:04:23,560 --> 00:04:27,000
Speaker 1: a change. They were tired of watching politicians quality of

82
00:04:27,000 --> 00:04:30,280
Speaker 1: life increase while our cost of living increases. We still

83
00:04:30,279 --> 00:04:33,000
Speaker 1: pay the highest amount for gas in the nation. Even

84
00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:35,640
Speaker 1: though we have the chair of the Energy Committee for

85
00:04:35,680 --> 00:04:38,000
Speaker 1: six years, we lost it two years ago. She is

86
00:04:38,040 --> 00:04:39,760
Speaker 1: not in line to get the chair of any major

87
00:04:39,760 --> 00:04:42,440
Speaker 1: committee if she's reelected, and so people say it's time

88
00:04:42,440 --> 00:04:45,640
Speaker 1: for a change. We're speaking to Kelly Shabaka. She's running

89
00:04:45,640 --> 00:04:50,320
Speaker 1: for Senate up in Alaska, and Kelly, the first of all,

90
00:04:50,360 --> 00:04:52,599
Speaker 1: it's I'm sure leaves quite an impression to be in

91
00:04:52,600 --> 00:04:54,960
Speaker 1: the middle of a blizzard, even Alaska, middle of a blizzard,

92
00:04:55,000 --> 00:04:56,800
Speaker 1: be knocking on doors saying I need your vote. I'm

93
00:04:56,800 --> 00:05:00,599
Speaker 1: sure people will remember that. And I'm undering to what

94
00:05:00,720 --> 00:05:04,600
Speaker 1: degree you are seeing from those interactions with voters in

95
00:05:04,640 --> 00:05:08,880
Speaker 1: your state on the ground version of what the Wall

96
00:05:08,880 --> 00:05:10,960
Speaker 1: Street Journal has been reporting on this week, which is

97
00:05:11,000 --> 00:05:16,200
Speaker 1: that the monumental swing, the huge difference maker, the reason

98
00:05:16,279 --> 00:05:19,239
Speaker 1: the Democrats are in full on panic mode. Is moms

99
00:05:19,839 --> 00:05:24,359
Speaker 1: moms across the country, moms who aren't you know, died

100
00:05:24,400 --> 00:05:26,640
Speaker 1: in the wool liberals, you know, moms who are up

101
00:05:26,680 --> 00:05:31,560
Speaker 1: for having their minds change are going Republican because of COVID, lockdown,

102
00:05:31,640 --> 00:05:37,119
Speaker 1: school closures, trans ideology for young children, CRT, critical race theory.

103
00:05:37,440 --> 00:05:40,080
Speaker 1: How much of that are you coming across in Alaska?

104
00:05:40,200 --> 00:05:43,240
Speaker 1: And is that perhaps a difference maker for you as

105
00:05:43,240 --> 00:05:45,479
Speaker 1: you're trying to close out this race? Really it's funny

106
00:05:45,520 --> 00:05:49,599
Speaker 1: close out this race against Murkowski. Apparently. Yeah. Absolutely, The

107
00:05:49,640 --> 00:05:52,480
Speaker 1: parents of the doors are really concerned and they are

108
00:05:52,560 --> 00:05:54,760
Speaker 1: making a lot of difference. Usually the interaction goes like this.

109
00:05:54,880 --> 00:05:57,680
Speaker 1: I opened the door and there's kids all around, and

110
00:05:58,200 --> 00:06:00,400
Speaker 1: the parent will look at me and and kind of

111
00:06:00,400 --> 00:06:01,720
Speaker 1: give that look. And I said, let me guess you

112
00:06:01,760 --> 00:06:03,920
Speaker 1: don't want to talk about politics, and they SOA, that's right,

113
00:06:03,960 --> 00:06:07,600
Speaker 1: And I said me either, And I say, you know, look,

114
00:06:07,600 --> 00:06:10,000
Speaker 1: I got into this race because it's personal this year,

115
00:06:10,360 --> 00:06:13,120
Speaker 1: and this is my first time doing anything political. And

116
00:06:13,160 --> 00:06:15,000
Speaker 1: that's when they really start to listen. I show them

117
00:06:15,000 --> 00:06:17,960
Speaker 1: the picture of my five school aged kids and if

118
00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:20,120
Speaker 1: I'm a parent just like you and I'm fighting for

119
00:06:20,200 --> 00:06:22,719
Speaker 1: our future. My parents were homeless before I was born.

120
00:06:23,200 --> 00:06:25,160
Speaker 1: My mom got a job on the slope, which is

121
00:06:25,160 --> 00:06:27,840
Speaker 1: where we built the pipeline, and that's what got them

122
00:06:27,839 --> 00:06:30,000
Speaker 1: into the working class. They had me and we've had

123
00:06:30,040 --> 00:06:32,479
Speaker 1: a great life. But when I see them shutting down

124
00:06:32,480 --> 00:06:35,880
Speaker 1: those industries and targeting our jobs, and now we don't

125
00:06:35,880 --> 00:06:37,800
Speaker 1: have the funds, but we need an Alaska to pay

126
00:06:37,839 --> 00:06:40,240
Speaker 1: for schools. I said, I'm the bus driver, are you

127
00:06:40,320 --> 00:06:42,280
Speaker 1: because our buses aren't running up here and it's not

128
00:06:42,279 --> 00:06:44,200
Speaker 1: because of the weather. And they said, yeah, I've got

129
00:06:44,200 --> 00:06:45,680
Speaker 1: to take the kids to school every day. I said,

130
00:06:45,680 --> 00:06:47,680
Speaker 1: this has got to stop. They're shutting down our schools.

131
00:06:47,680 --> 00:06:50,560
Speaker 1: They're shutting down our buses. Our kids have a literacy

132
00:06:50,640 --> 00:06:52,600
Speaker 1: rate of thirty percent in Alaska, and our my mouth

133
00:06:52,680 --> 00:06:55,800
Speaker 1: proficiency rate hovers around that same level. It's time for

134
00:06:55,880 --> 00:06:57,720
Speaker 1: a change, and if we want to see a change,

135
00:06:57,760 --> 00:06:59,600
Speaker 1: we have to make that change. I said, I'm fighting

136
00:06:59,600 --> 00:07:01,600
Speaker 1: for our future. I want our kids to grow up here.

137
00:07:01,960 --> 00:07:04,159
Speaker 1: I want them to have great opportunities and success, and

138
00:07:04,160 --> 00:07:05,760
Speaker 1: I don't want them to shut us down and turn

139
00:07:05,839 --> 00:07:08,599
Speaker 1: us into a national park. For Biden and his radical

140
00:07:08,680 --> 00:07:11,920
Speaker 1: environmentalists and we all have to move. We're not a playground.

141
00:07:11,920 --> 00:07:15,000
Speaker 1: We're a state and we get self determination and autonomy,

142
00:07:15,280 --> 00:07:17,080
Speaker 1: and why are we being shut down? And they're like

143
00:07:17,120 --> 00:07:19,560
Speaker 1: absolutely said, I appreciate your vote. And that's where we're

144
00:07:19,560 --> 00:07:22,360
Speaker 1: seeing a lot of people change their minds. Okay, Lisa

145
00:07:22,440 --> 00:07:25,360
Speaker 1: Murkowski is getting nine million dollars from Mitch McConnell. She

146
00:07:25,480 --> 00:07:29,160
Speaker 1: rigged the voting job system there ranked choice so that

147
00:07:29,320 --> 00:07:32,559
Speaker 1: it's not she hasn't already lost the Republican nomination because

148
00:07:32,560 --> 00:07:36,760
Speaker 1: she would have. She's now endorsing a Democrat for the House.

149
00:07:36,880 --> 00:07:40,720
Speaker 1: She's supporting a Nancy Pelosi. Ally, you need to win

150
00:07:40,800 --> 00:07:44,080
Speaker 1: this election. What is the best thing that Alaskans can

151
00:07:44,120 --> 00:07:46,760
Speaker 1: do to ensure that you win the election? What do

152
00:07:46,760 --> 00:07:48,920
Speaker 1: you need him to do? How can they make it happen?

153
00:07:49,920 --> 00:07:52,040
Speaker 1: Turn out to vote, to bring your friends, bring your family,

154
00:07:52,080 --> 00:07:54,280
Speaker 1: bring her loved one, some more people who vote the better.

155
00:07:54,400 --> 00:07:57,120
Speaker 1: And then on the bubble sheet next to Kelly Chebacca,

156
00:07:57,200 --> 00:08:00,400
Speaker 1: bubble one and then move on, keep ring twit simple,

157
00:08:00,480 --> 00:08:03,840
Speaker 1: Just Kelly Chebaco one and move on. And then anyone

158
00:08:03,840 --> 00:08:06,720
Speaker 1: who wants to donate our average donation seventy six dollars.

159
00:08:06,720 --> 00:08:08,960
Speaker 1: The more ads that we can fund in these last

160
00:08:08,960 --> 00:08:12,080
Speaker 1: couple days, the better. They absolutely helped change minds. We

161
00:08:12,080 --> 00:08:14,920
Speaker 1: can let people know. Markowski says one thing here and

162
00:08:14,960 --> 00:08:17,600
Speaker 1: does the opposite. In DC. She was running paid ads

163
00:08:17,680 --> 00:08:20,400
Speaker 1: saying Biden's coming to grab your guns while she was

164
00:08:20,440 --> 00:08:23,760
Speaker 1: working with Biden and McConnell on the gun control legislation

165
00:08:23,800 --> 00:08:25,880
Speaker 1: and red flag laws. That we need to let more

166
00:08:25,880 --> 00:08:28,480
Speaker 1: people know that because that helps people change their minds

167
00:08:28,760 --> 00:08:30,520
Speaker 1: and we can turn out to vote and win this race.

168
00:08:30,560 --> 00:08:34,120
Speaker 1: It's absolutely winnable. We're not going to stop until November ninth,

169
00:08:34,160 --> 00:08:36,080
Speaker 1: So if you can help, that would really be great.

170
00:08:36,880 --> 00:08:39,320
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm just gonna say it again. Play dot com, Yeah,

171
00:08:39,320 --> 00:08:42,640
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, No, tell us your website again, Kelly for

172
00:08:42,720 --> 00:08:44,600
Speaker 1: AKA dot com if you want to donate, thank you.

173
00:08:44,640 --> 00:08:47,239
Speaker 1: Helly for AK dot com is gonna say, then Murkowski

174
00:08:47,360 --> 00:08:51,719
Speaker 1: vote for Brett against Brett Kavanaugh rather completely unacceptable, as

175
00:08:51,800 --> 00:08:54,480
Speaker 1: qualifying done. That's it. It's all you have to know, folks.

176
00:08:55,600 --> 00:08:57,920
Speaker 1: And she also joined with the Democrats and trying to

177
00:08:57,920 --> 00:09:00,280
Speaker 1: still a bus for Amy Coney Barrett. Most people don't

178
00:09:00,280 --> 00:09:03,680
Speaker 1: remember that, but then she pushed through Katangi Brown Jackson.

179
00:09:04,320 --> 00:09:06,440
Speaker 1: I mean, if I could fire her multiple times. I would.

180
00:09:06,440 --> 00:09:08,800
Speaker 1: We're just hoping to fire her this time. I think

181
00:09:08,840 --> 00:09:11,120
Speaker 1: that's important, though, Kelly, one more time for people out

182
00:09:11,160 --> 00:09:12,559
Speaker 1: there who are voting, because I think a lot of

183
00:09:12,559 --> 00:09:15,920
Speaker 1: people are confused by this rank choice system. If they

184
00:09:16,000 --> 00:09:19,600
Speaker 1: want you just you don't even rank anybody else in

185
00:09:19,640 --> 00:09:23,160
Speaker 1: the Senate at all. Kelly one, that's it. Kelly one,

186
00:09:23,240 --> 00:09:26,120
Speaker 1: that's it, and do not do Kelly is one, two, three,

187
00:09:26,120 --> 00:09:28,440
Speaker 1: and four. The Division of Elections has said they'll throw

188
00:09:28,440 --> 00:09:31,680
Speaker 1: those out. So Kelly won and move on. And remember,

189
00:09:31,679 --> 00:09:33,520
Speaker 1: in our House race, if you don't want to pull

190
00:09:33,559 --> 00:09:36,600
Speaker 1: for Pelosi, you have to rank both Nick and Sarah

191
00:09:36,880 --> 00:09:39,600
Speaker 1: or Sarah Nick, whichever order you prefer. And both those

192
00:09:39,640 --> 00:09:42,439
Speaker 1: candidates are saying the same thing. So Kelly won on

193
00:09:42,480 --> 00:09:44,680
Speaker 1: the Senate ballot, and then Nick and Sarah or Sarah

194
00:09:44,800 --> 00:09:46,920
Speaker 1: Nick on the House ballot, and that's how we win

195
00:09:47,040 --> 00:09:50,439
Speaker 1: both House and Senate. Awesome, Kelly, we appreciate it. I

196
00:09:50,520 --> 00:09:53,520
Speaker 1: can't believe that you have to game play now. Basically

197
00:09:53,520 --> 00:09:57,240
Speaker 1: when it comes to voting in Alaska. It's crazy, it is,

198
00:09:57,240 --> 00:09:59,600
Speaker 1: but where we can win. Alaskans are smarter than the

199
00:09:59,679 --> 00:10:01,679
Speaker 1: dark money that's coming in to try and take our

200
00:10:01,720 --> 00:10:04,400
Speaker 1: elections from us. I am confident that we can do this.

201
00:10:04,520 --> 00:10:06,679
Speaker 1: So Alaskans get out to vote. This is going to

202
00:10:06,720 --> 00:10:08,600
Speaker 1: be a great election and they're going to be reporting

203
00:10:08,600 --> 00:10:10,880
Speaker 1: about this for years to come and wonder how we

204
00:10:10,920 --> 00:10:12,600
Speaker 1: all did it. But we know how we did it.

205
00:10:12,600 --> 00:10:16,960
Speaker 1: We stuck together, absolutely true. Yep, Kelly Schvaka, get it done.

206
00:10:17,120 --> 00:10:20,200
Speaker 1: Put her in the Senate. As our world continues to

207
00:10:20,240 --> 00:10:22,640
Speaker 1: move faster and faster, it's more important than ever to

208
00:10:22,679 --> 00:10:25,200
Speaker 1: remember where we came from and the fun we used

209
00:10:25,200 --> 00:10:28,160
Speaker 1: to have back in the day. As they like to say,

210
00:10:28,240 --> 00:10:31,599
Speaker 1: nostalgia definitely is powerful. Wouldn't it be nice to go

211
00:10:31,640 --> 00:10:34,000
Speaker 1: back to the good old days to yesteryear, even if

212
00:10:34,000 --> 00:10:37,199
Speaker 1: it's just for an hour or two. Legacy Box can

Speaker 1: race coming down to between you and your opponent? Obviously

Speaker 1: you're a resume is super impressive. Why are you going

245
00:12:27,600 --> 00:12:30,680
Speaker 1: to get it done for the folks of Virginia's tenth. Well,

246
00:12:30,720 --> 00:12:32,720
Speaker 1: first of all, a Virginia's tenth is really the crust

247
00:12:32,760 --> 00:12:34,839
Speaker 1: cover of America. You've got the rural part out west,

248
00:12:34,880 --> 00:12:37,640
Speaker 1: you have the high tech part out in the east

249
00:12:37,679 --> 00:12:41,600
Speaker 1: because all of the data centers run through here. You

250
00:12:41,640 --> 00:12:44,160
Speaker 1: have the veterans. You also have forty five percent minority

251
00:12:44,800 --> 00:12:48,040
Speaker 1: of those forty twenty five percent or immigrants like myself.

252
00:12:48,080 --> 00:12:51,640
Speaker 1: So we are really the bellweather of this election and

253
00:12:51,720 --> 00:12:54,840
Speaker 1: also the twenty twenty four as well. Uh, And so

254
00:12:54,920 --> 00:12:57,240
Speaker 1: that's that's what what I'm representing. It's this Uh, it's

255
00:12:57,360 --> 00:13:00,680
Speaker 1: Loudon County, the infamous Loudon County that texts the the parents,

256
00:13:01,160 --> 00:13:03,160
Speaker 1: you know, the school boards that attack the parents, and

257
00:13:03,320 --> 00:13:07,000
Speaker 1: give three other counties also that surround us as well.

258
00:13:08,480 --> 00:13:10,880
Speaker 1: What are people caring about the most as you come

259
00:13:10,960 --> 00:13:15,600
Speaker 1: down the closing stretch here, and we should mention again

260
00:13:15,640 --> 00:13:19,280
Speaker 1: you've got an incredible bio, and I would imagine maybe

261
00:13:19,320 --> 00:13:21,760
Speaker 1: you can just share a quick snippet on your bio

262
00:13:21,840 --> 00:13:24,559
Speaker 1: for our audience that may not be familiar with you,

263
00:13:24,840 --> 00:13:27,600
Speaker 1: to explain why it is that you decided to jump

264
00:13:27,640 --> 00:13:30,960
Speaker 1: into the fray and run here. Yes, that's a great question,

265
00:13:31,000 --> 00:13:32,640
Speaker 1: because no one should ever want to want to run

266
00:13:32,679 --> 00:13:35,640
Speaker 1: for office. It's an ugly, a dirty job, and it's

267
00:13:35,679 --> 00:13:37,959
Speaker 1: not never been my dream. Honestly, I've never wanted to

268
00:13:38,040 --> 00:13:39,800
Speaker 1: do this, but I feel like I have to do it.

269
00:13:39,840 --> 00:13:42,360
Speaker 1: I mean, I came from Vietnam in nineteen seventy five.

270
00:13:42,520 --> 00:13:44,600
Speaker 1: My parents, you know, my parents had to make the

271
00:13:44,600 --> 00:13:47,880
Speaker 1: hard decision. My mom was literally sewing notes in our

272
00:13:47,880 --> 00:13:50,040
Speaker 1: clothes with a little money, saying this is my son,

273
00:13:50,120 --> 00:13:52,040
Speaker 1: please take care of them in case we get separated.

274
00:13:52,480 --> 00:13:55,080
Speaker 1: We came here and this amazing country gave us all

275
00:13:55,120 --> 00:13:57,960
Speaker 1: the opportunity, and I want to I went to Thomas

276
00:13:58,040 --> 00:14:00,440
Speaker 1: Jefferson in High School for Sense and Technology, number one

277
00:14:00,480 --> 00:14:03,200
Speaker 1: high school in the country, or was until the Left

278
00:14:03,240 --> 00:14:07,480
Speaker 1: destroyed it with their equity by really bringing down the

279
00:14:07,960 --> 00:14:12,079
Speaker 1: number of Asian students from there from seventy sears. Let

280
00:14:12,080 --> 00:14:13,920
Speaker 1: me ask you about that for a minute too, because

281
00:14:13,920 --> 00:14:16,640
Speaker 1: I think obviously with the Supreme Court case that's going on,

282
00:14:17,160 --> 00:14:21,000
Speaker 1: you're of an Asian background and an immigrant background, so

283
00:14:21,080 --> 00:14:24,960
Speaker 1: many Asian people look to schooling elite schooling where Bucks

284
00:14:25,000 --> 00:14:26,600
Speaker 1: from In New York City. This has been a major

285
00:14:26,640 --> 00:14:30,280
Speaker 1: battleground Northern Virginia Thomas Jefferson High School. As you mentioned too,

286
00:14:30,760 --> 00:14:34,600
Speaker 1: how much of an assault on the meritocracy drives Asian

287
00:14:34,720 --> 00:14:39,000
Speaker 1: immigrants and Asian young families crazy like this when they're

288
00:14:39,000 --> 00:14:41,160
Speaker 1: trying to look for equity as opposed to the most

289
00:14:41,200 --> 00:14:44,760
Speaker 1: skilled students. That's that's the problem, right. I mean when

290
00:14:44,840 --> 00:14:47,560
Speaker 1: I left Vietnam, my parents taught me that they can

291
00:14:47,600 --> 00:14:49,800
Speaker 1: take away your money, they can take away your position life,

292
00:14:49,800 --> 00:14:51,400
Speaker 1: but they can never take away the knowledge of that

293
00:14:51,880 --> 00:14:55,680
Speaker 1: in your head. So they push education really hard. But

294
00:14:55,760 --> 00:14:58,960
Speaker 1: now the left has taken that away from us by

295
00:14:59,120 --> 00:15:02,160
Speaker 1: by saying, well, too many Asians and Thomas Jefferson, so

296
00:15:02,200 --> 00:15:05,880
Speaker 1: we're gonna make sure other demographics are are are represented,

297
00:15:05,960 --> 00:15:09,440
Speaker 1: and it's driving them crazy. And you know, we're Americans.

298
00:15:09,480 --> 00:15:12,920
Speaker 1: We just want to be treated like everybody else. Absolutely,

299
00:15:12,960 --> 00:15:15,000
Speaker 1: we're speaking of Hong Koo right now. He is running

300
00:15:15,320 --> 00:15:21,880
Speaker 1: in Virginia's tenth congressional district. And what what is the situation.

301
00:15:22,040 --> 00:15:25,200
Speaker 1: Give us the quick dossier on your opponent in this race.

302
00:15:25,240 --> 00:15:28,280
Speaker 1: I'm wondering, are you getting somebody who is all of

303
00:15:28,320 --> 00:15:30,760
Speaker 1: a sudden, oh, I don't know who this Joe Biden

304
00:15:30,800 --> 00:15:34,080
Speaker 1: guy is. You're getting someone who's doubling down on the insurrection.

305
00:15:34,200 --> 00:15:36,720
Speaker 1: You know, what are you up against? Well, she's doubling

306
00:15:36,720 --> 00:15:39,120
Speaker 1: down on everything. I mean, she was the trailblazer when

307
00:15:39,160 --> 00:15:41,120
Speaker 1: you when you talk about soft on crime. When she

308
00:15:41,240 --> 00:15:45,520
Speaker 1: was a commonwealth attorney, she let two rapists go off

309
00:15:45,560 --> 00:15:49,440
Speaker 1: with just months of like two to four months of incarceration.

310
00:15:49,920 --> 00:15:53,920
Speaker 1: And then you know, as a state senator, she basically

311
00:15:54,080 --> 00:15:56,400
Speaker 1: voted down all these bills that would have, you know,

312
00:15:56,520 --> 00:15:59,600
Speaker 1: protected our children. And now she's the co chair of

313
00:15:59,680 --> 00:16:02,520
Speaker 1: the chance Test War. So she's paired up with his

314
00:16:02,680 --> 00:16:06,080
Speaker 1: lady name Elizabeth Guzman, who introduced a bill which would

315
00:16:06,280 --> 00:16:10,000
Speaker 1: would criminalize parents if they did not affirm their children's

316
00:16:10,160 --> 00:16:13,480
Speaker 1: gender based on what the schools decided it was. So

317
00:16:13,560 --> 00:16:15,960
Speaker 1: this is the person I'm running against, and she's been

318
00:16:16,000 --> 00:16:19,000
Speaker 1: the rubber stamp. She's voted a hundred percent with Joe Biden,

319
00:16:19,280 --> 00:16:22,840
Speaker 1: and she's caused a lot of the you know, the inflation,

320
00:16:22,920 --> 00:16:25,640
Speaker 1: and now we're going into we are in a recession.

321
00:16:25,680 --> 00:16:27,800
Speaker 1: We're about to go into the depression if we don't

322
00:16:27,880 --> 00:16:31,400
Speaker 1: change our way as very fast. I got a couple

323
00:16:31,440 --> 00:16:33,880
Speaker 1: of questions that are tied here together. You've got five kids,

324
00:16:34,000 --> 00:16:36,680
Speaker 1: so first of all, running for Congress with five kids,

325
00:16:36,720 --> 00:16:38,360
Speaker 1: we have a lot of moms and dads that are

326
00:16:38,440 --> 00:16:42,480
Speaker 1: running out there. You're in the tenth congressional district in Virginia.

327
00:16:42,520 --> 00:16:45,960
Speaker 1: It's going to be close with those five kids. How

328
00:16:46,040 --> 00:16:48,760
Speaker 1: much are you hearing from other dads and moms still

329
00:16:48,800 --> 00:16:51,840
Speaker 1: about the COVID issues, the masking and the connection that

330
00:16:51,840 --> 00:16:54,480
Speaker 1: that has to every other major issue out there. We

331
00:16:54,520 --> 00:16:56,600
Speaker 1: know how much of a motivating factor it was for

332
00:16:56,680 --> 00:16:59,560
Speaker 1: Glenn Yunkin. How much is it still a motivating factor

333
00:16:59,560 --> 00:17:02,960
Speaker 1: based on what you're hearing? Oh? Absolutely, I mean parents

334
00:17:03,000 --> 00:17:05,000
Speaker 1: just want to be their kids be taught, right. I

335
00:17:05,040 --> 00:17:07,200
Speaker 1: mean the people that hurt the most during this whole

336
00:17:07,200 --> 00:17:09,880
Speaker 1: COVID what are the special needs who you know who

337
00:17:09,960 --> 00:17:13,919
Speaker 1: needed the special teachers to help them? And you know

338
00:17:13,960 --> 00:17:16,439
Speaker 1: as well as a lot of the minority. Um. You

339
00:17:16,440 --> 00:17:18,760
Speaker 1: know this especially the Hispanic and Blacks have been hurt

340
00:17:18,840 --> 00:17:21,159
Speaker 1: the most in this COVID. I mean we've saw the

341
00:17:21,400 --> 00:17:25,160
Speaker 1: anyap the purport card for Virginia. This was the largest

342
00:17:25,240 --> 00:17:28,359
Speaker 1: drop in the nation for education, you know, the lowest

343
00:17:28,400 --> 00:17:32,440
Speaker 1: ATT scores in thirty years, lowest reading comprehension, and since

344
00:17:32,560 --> 00:17:35,159
Speaker 1: nineteen ninety. We are hurting as a nation. We're going

345
00:17:35,240 --> 00:17:38,600
Speaker 1: to hurt having engineers and doctors and scientists in the

346
00:17:38,600 --> 00:17:42,000
Speaker 1: future if we don't fix this generation. But again they

347
00:17:42,040 --> 00:17:45,480
Speaker 1: they then they doubled down and they stage walkouts because

348
00:17:45,480 --> 00:17:49,639
Speaker 1: they hate Gun Younkin's um new bill that basically puts

349
00:17:49,760 --> 00:17:52,119
Speaker 1: all the power back into the parents' hands. And they

350
00:17:52,160 --> 00:17:54,080
Speaker 1: call it trans bill, but it's not a trans bill.

351
00:17:54,160 --> 00:17:56,920
Speaker 1: It's it's a it's a bill that puts everything back

352
00:17:56,920 --> 00:18:00,960
Speaker 1: in the hands of parents, which is where education and students, uh,

353
00:18:01,000 --> 00:18:03,560
Speaker 1: you know, the the interests of the students belong in

354
00:18:03,600 --> 00:18:06,600
Speaker 1: the parent hands of the parents. We're speaking to Captain

00:18:53,160 --> 00:18:58,600
Speaker 1: heard from him and uh our buddy Gerdusky was Virginia

372
00:18:58,720 --> 00:19:00,440
Speaker 1: ten one that he told us to fall. I was

373
00:19:00,440 --> 00:19:03,600
Speaker 1: gonna say, these are some of these early bellweather races,

374
00:19:03,760 --> 00:19:09,080

375
00:19:09,119 --> 00:19:11,840
Speaker 1: indicators because they're gonna be done early. They're gonna be

376
00:19:11,840 --> 00:19:14,920
Speaker 1: able to count them pretty quickly. And if we get

377
00:19:15,119 --> 00:19:17,399
Speaker 1: let's just put it this way, if Captain Cow and

378
00:19:17,480 --> 00:19:19,960
Speaker 1: Bohines both pull it off, and you know that early

379
00:19:20,000 --> 00:19:22,880
Speaker 1: on in our election party, it's going to be quite

380
00:19:22,880 --> 00:19:25,320
Speaker 1: a festivity, my friend, no doubt we're gonna have a

381
00:19:25,359 --> 00:19:28,080
Speaker 1: good time. Jady Vance joining us from Ohio up next.

382
00:19:28,160 --> 00:19:30,240
Speaker 1: But first, I gotta tell you cyber criminals like to

383
00:19:30,280 --> 00:19:33,280
Speaker 1: work silently and without any fanfare on their own. They're

384
00:19:33,359 --> 00:19:36,640
Speaker 1: using their uber smart computer skills try and hack into

385
00:19:36,640 --> 00:19:39,639
Speaker 1: company databases looking for stolen identities they have all the

386
00:19:39,640 --> 00:19:42,480
Speaker 1: time in the world. No one sees them coming, and

387
00:19:42,640 --> 00:19:45,040
Speaker 1: when a cyber hacker can hit pay dirt, that can

388
00:19:45,119 --> 00:19:48,600
Speaker 1: mean a lot of your information boom is out there.

389
00:19:48,640 --> 00:19:52,439

390
00:19:52,440 --> 00:19:56,800

391
00:19:56,840 --> 00:20:00,479
Speaker 1: single day. No one can prevent all identity but our

407
00:20:54,160 --> 00:20:58,560
Speaker 1: you see that movie? Hey, dents, No, I haven't seen it.

413
00:21:12,440 --> 00:21:14,280
Speaker 1: But let me introduce you to the audience out there.

414
00:21:14,720 --> 00:21:18,080
Speaker 1: Jennifer Ruth Green. She is in the first Congressional District

415
00:21:18,359 --> 00:21:21,960
Speaker 1: in Indiana. Twenty plus years of Air Force service. Also

416
00:21:22,080 --> 00:21:25,639
Speaker 1: still active in the Indiana Air National Guard. Buck and

417
00:21:25,640 --> 00:21:27,600
Speaker 1: I are trying to have on as many people in

418
00:21:27,640 --> 00:21:32,000
Speaker 1: battleground races as we can. You are a fantastic candidate.

419
00:21:32,000 --> 00:21:34,280
Speaker 1: We want to help you get across the finish line.

420
00:21:34,640 --> 00:21:37,480
Speaker 1: What are you seeing on the ground in Indiana? What

421
00:21:37,520 --> 00:21:40,119
Speaker 1: can our listeners do to help ensure that you are

422
00:21:40,160 --> 00:21:44,040
Speaker 1: a member of Congress starting in January? Oh, thank you

423
00:21:44,119 --> 00:21:47,040
Speaker 1: so much for having me. We are six days away

424
00:21:47,080 --> 00:21:49,720
Speaker 1: from victory, and I firmly believe that what do we

425
00:21:49,760 --> 00:21:52,160
Speaker 1: see on the ground. We see that people are concerned

426
00:21:52,560 --> 00:21:55,920
Speaker 1: about gas groceries and grandkids. They're concerned about the fact

427
00:21:55,960 --> 00:21:58,119
Speaker 1: that they have to choose between gas and groceries when

428
00:21:58,160 --> 00:22:00,680
Speaker 1: they go out, and the fact that the current administration

429
00:22:01,080 --> 00:22:04,760
Speaker 1: is spending their grandkids money. And that's the simplicity of

430
00:22:04,760 --> 00:22:07,639
Speaker 1: it all gas groceries and grandkids. And as we go

431
00:22:07,680 --> 00:22:09,359
Speaker 1: out and talk to people, that's what they tell us.

432
00:22:09,840 --> 00:22:12,159
Speaker 1: But these six days leading up, what we're seeing is

433
00:22:12,200 --> 00:22:15,040
Speaker 1: that Republicans are coming out in droves, and so we

434
00:22:15,040 --> 00:22:18,800
Speaker 1: are getting new newly registered voters. We're having people who

435
00:22:18,800 --> 00:22:21,240
Speaker 1: have you know, not necessarily voted in a while who

436
00:22:21,240 --> 00:22:23,240
Speaker 1: are coming up and voting. We have Dems who are

437
00:22:23,240 --> 00:22:26,320
Speaker 1: switching and voting for us, and so early returns, those

438
00:22:26,400 --> 00:22:29,720
Speaker 1: kinds of things are very promising. And so this district

439
00:22:29,760 --> 00:22:32,560
Speaker 1: has been held by Dems for ninety two years. But

440
00:22:32,760 --> 00:22:36,440
Speaker 1: people are focused and I believe one week from today,

441
00:22:36,520 --> 00:22:38,720
Speaker 1: less than one week from today, we will be victorious

442
00:22:38,760 --> 00:22:42,600
Speaker 1: and slipping the seat. And we're very, very excited about it. Jennifer,

443
00:22:42,640 --> 00:22:45,040
Speaker 1: We're really very honored to have you on for the

444
00:22:45,080 --> 00:22:48,919
Speaker 1: first time and thank you for joining us here. The

445
00:22:49,080 --> 00:22:54,359
Speaker 1: opponent you face, what are the primary differences that should

446
00:22:54,359 --> 00:22:57,440
Speaker 1: be noted for anybody who is in your district and

447
00:22:57,600 --> 00:23:00,760
Speaker 1: is still thinking, well, you know, I'm I'm on the

448
00:23:00,800 --> 00:23:04,160
Speaker 1: fence or I'm considering what does it mean if if

449
00:23:04,680 --> 00:23:11,280
Speaker 1: Indiana's First sends you to DC versus the opposition. So

450
00:23:11,400 --> 00:23:15,200
Speaker 1: Congressman Frank Lavan is a freshman. He ran as a moderate,

451
00:23:15,240 --> 00:23:18,600
Speaker 1: and he has positioned himself as a socialist. He's voted

452
00:23:18,600 --> 00:23:21,120
Speaker 1: with the Democrat agenda one hundred percent of the time,

453
00:23:21,560 --> 00:23:24,600
Speaker 1: and he has left the steel industry behind. Twenty seven

454
00:23:24,680 --> 00:23:28,320
Speaker 1: percent of the nation's steel comes from northwest Indiana. That

455
00:23:28,640 --> 00:23:31,960
Speaker 1: as goes steel, so goes our economy. He's left that behind,

456
00:23:32,200 --> 00:23:35,000
Speaker 1: and he also hasn't been in touch He hasn't been around.

457
00:23:35,119 --> 00:23:37,960
Speaker 1: He hasn't He refuses to debate me, to defend any

458
00:23:38,000 --> 00:23:40,760
Speaker 1: of his records, and I think it's just disrespectful to

459
00:23:40,920 --> 00:23:44,840
Speaker 1: the amazing people that live here in northwest Indiana. The

460
00:23:44,960 --> 00:23:48,760
Speaker 1: region is comprised of people who go ahead, no, no,

461
00:23:49,040 --> 00:23:51,440
Speaker 1: you're still you're rolling. I was just going to offer

462
00:23:51,480 --> 00:23:53,720
Speaker 1: you some praise. Let me sorry to cut in there,

463
00:23:53,760 --> 00:23:55,639
Speaker 1: but you're I saw this and I was I was like,

464
00:23:55,680 --> 00:23:57,840
Speaker 1: this is amazing because Buck's about to marry into a

465
00:23:57,880 --> 00:24:02,040
Speaker 1: family like this. You are third generation Air Force. Your

466
00:24:02,080 --> 00:24:04,760
Speaker 1: grandfather and your dad were also in the Air Force,

467
00:24:04,760 --> 00:24:07,040
Speaker 1: and then you went to Air Force Academy. I mean,

468
00:24:07,240 --> 00:24:10,480
Speaker 1: your family has to be so proud of you. What

469
00:24:10,520 --> 00:24:14,199
Speaker 1: did it feel like to be third generation Air Force. No,

470
00:24:14,359 --> 00:24:17,600
Speaker 1: it's so exciting because not only does it make me

471
00:24:17,680 --> 00:24:24,359
Speaker 1: my parents favorite, because that's important, but ultimately, no, I

472
00:24:24,400 --> 00:24:27,879
Speaker 1: think they're just they appreciate respect the fact that the

473
00:24:28,000 --> 00:24:31,679
Speaker 1: legacy continues, because I think we value the military very greatly,

474
00:24:31,680 --> 00:24:34,200
Speaker 1: and I think it provides a great discipline. It helped

475
00:24:34,240 --> 00:24:36,480
Speaker 1: us growing up to make sure that we knew that

476
00:24:37,400 --> 00:24:39,280
Speaker 1: we had to work hard and we had to make

477
00:24:39,280 --> 00:24:42,280
Speaker 1: sure that we presented ourselves in a way that allowed

478
00:24:42,359 --> 00:24:44,840
Speaker 1: us to have access and influence. So we had to

479
00:24:44,840 --> 00:24:47,040
Speaker 1: earn good grades, we had to strive to do well,

480
00:24:47,080 --> 00:24:48,760
Speaker 1: we had to not count on other people to do

481
00:24:48,840 --> 00:24:51,160
Speaker 1: things for us. And so I think all of those

482
00:24:51,200 --> 00:24:53,960
Speaker 1: principles line up well with what I'm continuing to strive

483
00:24:54,040 --> 00:24:56,640
Speaker 1: to share with young people through the nonprofit. And so

484
00:24:56,720 --> 00:25:00,600
Speaker 1: I think people are focused on the good that military

485
00:25:00,600 --> 00:25:03,400
Speaker 1: service brings. And so it's been a huge asset when

486
00:25:03,440 --> 00:25:05,119
Speaker 1: talking to people in the districts about some of the

487
00:25:05,160 --> 00:25:07,399
Speaker 1: things I want to do as far as helping people

488
00:25:07,400 --> 00:25:09,520
Speaker 1: to succeed, because it's a great way to do that.

489
00:25:10,040 --> 00:25:13,320
Speaker 1: We're speaking right now, my friends, to Jennifer Ruth Green,

490
00:25:13,640 --> 00:25:17,280
Speaker 1: she's running in Indiana's first congressional to our Indiana listeners,

491
00:25:17,640 --> 00:25:19,800
Speaker 1: please get out there, get out their vote, and help

492
00:25:19,920 --> 00:25:22,719
Speaker 1: Jennifer in any way you can. How are we doing, Jennifer?

493
00:25:22,720 --> 00:25:25,560
Speaker 1: You know one thing we don't hear nearly as much

494
00:25:25,600 --> 00:25:28,040
Speaker 1: about these days as we have in previous elections, and

495
00:25:28,080 --> 00:25:31,480
Speaker 1: I understand it's because we're not active in combat zones

496
00:25:31,520 --> 00:25:35,040
Speaker 1: the way we had been until recently. How are we

497
00:25:35,080 --> 00:25:37,480
Speaker 1: doing with our veteran community and we've got so many

498
00:25:37,520 --> 00:25:40,679
Speaker 1: people listening to the show, who are veterans and a

499
00:25:40,680 --> 00:25:43,600
Speaker 1: lot of active duty military as well. What has it

500
00:25:43,640 --> 00:25:46,119
Speaker 1: been like the last two years under Biden and what

501
00:25:46,240 --> 00:25:51,560
Speaker 1: could be done differently. So, as I'm sure you've heard

502
00:25:51,600 --> 00:25:56,720
Speaker 1: around the country, Indiana's first congressional district echoes the sentiments

503
00:25:56,760 --> 00:26:00,439
Speaker 1: in regards to veterans. We see and can continue to

504
00:26:00,480 --> 00:26:03,439
Speaker 1: see the wokeness of our military as a priority for

505
00:26:03,520 --> 00:26:06,919
Speaker 1: this current administration, and it really debilitates us because it

506
00:26:06,960 --> 00:26:10,080
Speaker 1: takes away from our primary focus, which is mission readiness.

507
00:26:10,440 --> 00:26:13,800
Speaker 1: And so people are very, very frustrated by that. We

508
00:26:13,880 --> 00:26:16,640
Speaker 1: don't necessarily need to have the days of old, where

509
00:26:16,920 --> 00:26:19,480
Speaker 1: you know, we talk about discrimination, or we talk about

510
00:26:19,720 --> 00:26:22,199
Speaker 1: sexism or misogyny or those kinds of things. But the

511
00:26:22,240 --> 00:26:25,480
Speaker 1: military has gotten a strong grasp on those elements. But

512
00:26:25,560 --> 00:26:30,240
Speaker 1: the difficulty is that we're overdoing it and that's defeating

513
00:26:30,240 --> 00:26:33,920
Speaker 1: our readiness. And so veterans also are very excited about

514
00:26:33,960 --> 00:26:36,160
Speaker 1: the fact that when you shake someone's hands that should

515
00:26:36,200 --> 00:26:39,520
Speaker 1: mean something. Your word and your name is all that

516
00:26:39,560 --> 00:26:41,760
Speaker 1: you have to offer. That's what you bring to a unit.

517
00:26:42,040 --> 00:26:44,240
Speaker 1: You bring name, rank, serial number, and date of birth

518
00:26:44,320 --> 00:26:47,399
Speaker 1: and your particular specialty and so you have to be

519
00:26:47,480 --> 00:26:49,119
Speaker 1: on the same team. They have to know when you

520
00:26:49,160 --> 00:26:51,239
Speaker 1: shake their hand or that you give your word, that

521
00:26:51,280 --> 00:26:55,240
Speaker 1: it matters, and so they can trust that my word matters. Recently,

522
00:26:55,240 --> 00:26:58,600
Speaker 1: we had a situation where Congressman Frank Mervan attempted to

523
00:26:58,640 --> 00:27:01,959
Speaker 1: deny that he tried to illegally grab my military records

524
00:27:01,960 --> 00:27:04,400
Speaker 1: and use them to smear me, and then he lied

525
00:27:04,440 --> 00:27:07,119
Speaker 1: about it. But the facts clearly showed that the group

526
00:27:07,480 --> 00:27:12,200
Speaker 1: Due Diligence on April first of this year illegally received

527
00:27:12,240 --> 00:27:16,520
Speaker 1: my information as an opposition research firm, and my opponent

528
00:27:16,600 --> 00:27:20,199
Speaker 1: has collaborated and done every ad he's done with the

529
00:27:20,280 --> 00:27:23,400
Speaker 1: Dems and the d Triple C and their oppo research

530
00:27:23,440 --> 00:27:26,600
Speaker 1: group is the firm that specifically attempted to send my

531
00:27:26,680 --> 00:27:29,359
Speaker 1: information to the media with an attempt to smear me.

532
00:27:29,680 --> 00:27:32,440
Speaker 1: And ultimately, at the end of the day, military member said,

533
00:27:32,920 --> 00:27:36,280
Speaker 1: that's absurd, we cannot trust him. He lied to us,

534
00:27:36,480 --> 00:27:38,680
Speaker 1: and ultimately, at the end of the day, he attempted

535
00:27:38,720 --> 00:27:41,360
Speaker 1: to smear you. And so they're frustrated with his lack

536
00:27:41,400 --> 00:27:44,600
Speaker 1: of fidelity, lack of courage, lack of moral courage in

537
00:27:44,680 --> 00:27:47,399
Speaker 1: the face of just trying to get political gain, and

538
00:27:47,440 --> 00:27:50,800
Speaker 1: so they're very, very upset with him. Jennifer, what can

539
00:27:50,840 --> 00:27:54,120
Speaker 1: our audience do for you to ensure that you are

540
00:27:54,160 --> 00:27:58,320
Speaker 1: elected in six days? I appreciate it. Would you Number one,

541
00:27:58,359 --> 00:27:59,920
Speaker 1: pray for us? Would you pray that we would have

542
00:28:00,119 --> 00:28:03,080
Speaker 1: strength of character so that we would do what's right.

543
00:28:03,400 --> 00:28:05,280
Speaker 1: We need to make sure we take care of our country,

544
00:28:05,280 --> 00:28:07,560
Speaker 1: and prayer is a big part of that. Number two,

545
00:28:07,680 --> 00:28:11,200
Speaker 1: would you go to our website JRG dot gop. Would

546
00:28:11,200 --> 00:28:13,000
Speaker 1: you take a look and see if your values met

547
00:28:13,040 --> 00:28:14,879
Speaker 1: to our values? If you want America to be in

548
00:28:14,880 --> 00:28:17,720
Speaker 1: a place where on an international stage, we are ready

549
00:28:17,760 --> 00:28:19,879
Speaker 1: to go and we are not presented weekly like this

550
00:28:19,960 --> 00:28:24,439
Speaker 1: current administration wants to present us at or nationally. You

551
00:28:24,480 --> 00:28:26,720
Speaker 1: want to make sure that we have an economic surety

552
00:28:26,760 --> 00:28:29,520
Speaker 1: and security for your grand kids and generations to come.

553
00:28:29,920 --> 00:28:33,080
Speaker 1: JRG dot gop. Would you give to us? Would you

554
00:28:33,119 --> 00:28:35,680
Speaker 1: help us with that? The media market here is Chicago

555
00:28:35,760 --> 00:28:38,920
Speaker 1: Land very expensive. We're putting all of our additional money

556
00:28:39,000 --> 00:28:41,360
Speaker 1: during this critical time to make sure we can get

557
00:28:41,400 --> 00:28:44,160
Speaker 1: our message out. I did a commercial in Spanish, and

558
00:28:44,240 --> 00:28:46,480
Speaker 1: I'm focused on making sure that we can talk to

559
00:28:46,520 --> 00:28:49,720
Speaker 1: as many people as possible to help them understand the

560
00:28:49,800 --> 00:28:53,640
Speaker 1: gravity of this election and get out. And so I

561
00:28:53,640 --> 00:28:55,440
Speaker 1: think the last thing I would ask is for people

562
00:28:55,480 --> 00:28:57,440
Speaker 1: to get out and vote. As a result of seeing

563
00:28:57,680 --> 00:29:01,560
Speaker 1: all of those different pieces and agreeing with them, Jennifer,

564
00:29:01,880 --> 00:29:03,880
Speaker 1: we are rooting for you. We'll have you back on.

565
00:29:03,960 --> 00:29:06,440
Speaker 1: We're going to talk about top gun Maverick, and we're

566
00:29:06,440 --> 00:29:09,960
Speaker 1: going to celebrate you. Headed to Congress, honored and humble.

567
00:29:10,040 --> 00:29:14,360
Speaker 1: We're gonna wait sixth days. Thanks guys, Thanks so much. Buck.

568
00:29:14,640 --> 00:29:18,480
Speaker 1: How good She's going to be a star? What I

569
00:29:18,560 --> 00:29:21,520
Speaker 1: just how good are some of these candidates that were

570
00:29:21,520 --> 00:29:23,000
Speaker 1: You and I have both of the same reaction, which

571
00:29:23,040 --> 00:29:28,640
Speaker 1: is this This group of Republican contenders that are you know,

572
00:29:28,680 --> 00:29:31,520
Speaker 1: first timers running for office is remarkable. We've had so

573
00:29:31,560 --> 00:29:35,360
Speaker 1: many of them on the show, and it's just it'd

574
00:29:35,440 --> 00:29:37,640
Speaker 1: be such an asset to the country. Honestly, it'd be

575
00:29:37,680 --> 00:29:40,320
Speaker 1: such a move in the right direction. And you know,

576
00:29:40,520 --> 00:29:43,080
Speaker 1: I think the people of Indiana's first congressional I think

577
00:29:43,080 --> 00:29:45,240
Speaker 1: they're gonna get it done. I really do. Lots of

578
00:29:45,280 --> 00:29:47,920
Speaker 1: first round draft picks out there are coming into this

579
00:29:48,000 --> 00:29:51,800
Speaker 1: collection of Congressmen and senators and u and governors, and

580
00:29:51,800 --> 00:29:54,240
Speaker 1: I can't wait six days from now to see all

581
00:29:54,240 --> 00:29:56,680
Speaker 1: of that come to fruition. Also want to tell you

582
00:29:56,680 --> 00:29:59,720
Speaker 1: the professors and administration at Hillsdale College go out of

583
00:29:59,720 --> 00:30:03,280
Speaker 1: their way to explain and defend our nation's freedoms. That's

584
00:30:03,280 --> 00:30:06,840
Speaker 1: been the college's mission since the mid eighteen hundreds. Now,

585
00:30:07,000 --> 00:30:08,920
Speaker 1: when I suggest they go out of their way, I

586
00:30:08,920 --> 00:30:12,840
Speaker 1: mean they don't just share their teaching in lecture halls,

587
00:30:13,160 --> 00:30:15,800
Speaker 1: but also in video courses online free for everybody to

588
00:30:15,880 --> 00:30:19,760
Speaker 1: check out. And they've developed more than two dozen courses

589
00:30:19,880 --> 00:30:24,479
Speaker 1: using high production value, smart conversations, and an effort to

590
00:30:24,600 --> 00:30:28,120
Speaker 1: allow you to learn eight to ten episodes in all

591
00:30:28,280 --> 00:30:30,960
Speaker 1: episodes are about forty minutes in length. You can watch

592
00:30:31,000 --> 00:30:34,120
Speaker 1: them like you'd watch any on demand series. In fact,

593
00:30:34,560 --> 00:30:37,080
Speaker 1: if your kids are like mine and as they are

594
00:30:37,080 --> 00:30:40,920
Speaker 1: becoming teenagers, they learn a lot by watching videos, you

595
00:30:40,920 --> 00:30:44,560
Speaker 1: can also share it with them because the tests no

596
00:30:44,680 --> 00:30:49,000
Speaker 1: strings attached, just you have an opportunity to learn for

597
00:30:49,280 --> 00:30:53,160
Speaker 1: the sake of learning. Newest video course is all about

598
00:30:53,200 --> 00:30:56,360
Speaker 1: what our founding fathers had to say on topics like

599
00:30:56,440 --> 00:30:59,840
Speaker 1: foreign policy. What was said two hundred and fifty years ago.

600
00:31:00,200 --> 00:31:02,960
Speaker 1: You'll be surprised how applicable it is today as well.

601
00:31:03,360 --> 00:31:06,760
Speaker 1: New course is called the Real American Founding a Conversation.

602
00:31:07,240 --> 00:31:10,040
Speaker 1: You can watch the trailer video of the Real American

603

Speaker 1: Founding a Conversation at Clay and Buck four Hillsdale dot com.

Speaker 1: That's Clay and Buck four hills dot com. You're listening

605
00:31:19,240 --> 00:31:23,520
Speaker 1: to Clay in Bucks countdown to Election Day podcast Candidates

Speaker 1: thanks for calling in. Yeah, thanks for having me on.

608
00:31:32,400 --> 00:31:35,520
Speaker 1: I really appreciate it. So it is days away. The

609
00:31:35,600 --> 00:31:39,400
Speaker 1: New York Times is worried. Clay and I and all

610
00:31:39,440 --> 00:31:41,760
Speaker 1: of our friends across the country just want to hear

611
00:31:41,800 --> 00:31:45,120
Speaker 1: about why they should be so worried about this election.

612
00:31:45,600 --> 00:31:49,880
Speaker 1: What it's looking like right now, days away. Yeah, I

613
00:31:49,920 --> 00:31:52,840
Speaker 1: mean they should be worried. Senator Murray has failed Washington,

614
00:31:52,920 --> 00:31:56,080
Speaker 1: stated every turn, and we truly have a message of hope.

615
00:31:56,800 --> 00:31:59,640
Speaker 1: How we can turn crisis into hope and deliver results

616
00:31:59,680 --> 00:32:02,840
Speaker 1: for all of Washington. I've been in all thirty nine counties.

617
00:32:02,880 --> 00:32:05,360
Speaker 1: I've listened to thousands of voters, and you know, I'm

618
00:32:05,360 --> 00:32:08,360
Speaker 1: on my statewide tour again and my new mom and

619
00:32:08,440 --> 00:32:12,480
Speaker 1: town bus and we're meeting voters on the ground hundreds

620
00:32:12,480 --> 00:32:15,240
Speaker 1: and hundreds of people are coming to our events. They're

621
00:32:15,280 --> 00:32:18,680
Speaker 1: ready for change. You know, these aren't Democrat Republican issues,

622
00:32:18,840 --> 00:32:21,680
Speaker 1: they're American issues. It's about delivering results. And I think

623
00:32:21,760 --> 00:32:25,280
Speaker 1: you know, even our debate, our town hall, the choice

624
00:32:25,320 --> 00:32:28,160
Speaker 1: the contract could not be clear. Do you want someone

625
00:32:28,160 --> 00:32:30,120
Speaker 1: who will go work for you or do you want

626
00:32:30,120 --> 00:32:33,440
Speaker 1: that same mole get along to go holong do nothing.

627
00:32:33,800 --> 00:32:36,520
Speaker 1: Patty Maray has only been able to get nine bills

628
00:32:36,600 --> 00:32:39,959
Speaker 1: across the line in thirty years. Washingtonians are waking up

629
00:32:40,000 --> 00:32:43,800
Speaker 1: every day and they're ready for change, Tiffany. We had

630
00:32:44,080 --> 00:32:48,040
Speaker 1: Christine Drayson on yesterday. She's obviously just beneath you there

631
00:32:48,040 --> 00:32:50,800
Speaker 1: in the Pacific Northwest, and she is going to believe,

632
00:32:50,880 --> 00:32:54,280
Speaker 1: I believe when the governorship of Oregon for the first

633
00:32:54,280 --> 00:32:58,200
Speaker 1: time in forty years. You are similarly and we talked

634
00:32:58,200 --> 00:33:00,520
Speaker 1: with her. We said, you know, initially, we'll kind of

635
00:33:00,560 --> 00:33:03,760
Speaker 1: just kind of don't really take you very seriously. There's

636
00:33:03,880 --> 00:33:07,040
Speaker 1: legitimate polls out there now that show you tied even

637
00:33:07,200 --> 00:33:10,720
Speaker 1: with Patty Murray with six days to go. How has

638
00:33:10,800 --> 00:33:14,280
Speaker 1: the Democrat response changed to you? As Buck mentioned, the

639
00:33:14,320 --> 00:33:16,920
Speaker 1: New York Times is now writing about your candidacy. We

640
00:33:16,960 --> 00:33:19,560
Speaker 1: saw the same thing happen with Christine. What is it

641
00:33:19,640 --> 00:33:23,080
Speaker 1: like for you to suddenly be taken seriously when you've

642
00:33:23,120 --> 00:33:25,200
Speaker 1: been working as hard as you can for months, if

643
00:33:25,240 --> 00:33:28,480
Speaker 1: not years, to get to this position. Yeah, yeah, you know.

644
00:33:28,520 --> 00:33:29,960
Speaker 1: I've been at this right year and a half. And

645
00:33:30,360 --> 00:33:32,600
Speaker 1: when I got into this, I didn't need polling to

646
00:33:32,640 --> 00:33:34,800
Speaker 1: know that I had a shot or there was a

647
00:33:34,840 --> 00:33:37,840
Speaker 1: pathway to victory. I didn't need a million dollars backwards

648
00:33:37,840 --> 00:33:40,080
Speaker 1: behind me to know this was the right thing to do.

649
00:33:40,400 --> 00:33:42,400
Speaker 1: I did this because it was the right thing to do.

650
00:33:42,440 --> 00:33:44,560
Speaker 1: I was born and raised here in Washington State. I

651
00:33:44,600 --> 00:33:47,520
Speaker 1: love this date, and I knew, just like other times

652
00:33:47,520 --> 00:33:49,360
Speaker 1: in my life, you know, and my husband was blinded

653
00:33:49,360 --> 00:33:51,280
Speaker 1: by a suicide car bomb, I knew the power of

654
00:33:51,280 --> 00:33:54,400
Speaker 1: building from the ground up, building bridges and building coalitions.

655
00:33:54,840 --> 00:33:57,560
Speaker 1: We've a coalesced the people of Washington's Date over the

656
00:33:57,640 --> 00:34:01,920
Speaker 1: last eighteen months, and so we're going to continue to

657
00:34:01,920 --> 00:34:03,560
Speaker 1: buy it all the way through victory. We're not going

658
00:34:03,560 --> 00:34:05,960
Speaker 1: to stop. I'm still I still have multiple towns that

659
00:34:05,960 --> 00:34:09,280
Speaker 1: I'm visiting all across Washington State and sharing our moussage

660
00:34:09,280 --> 00:34:12,080
Speaker 1: and our vision of hope. I've just been laser focused

661
00:34:12,120 --> 00:34:15,200
Speaker 1: on delivering results and providing an option, you know, to

662
00:34:15,239 --> 00:34:17,920
Speaker 1: the great people of Washington State, and often that will

663
00:34:17,960 --> 00:34:21,520
Speaker 1: bring hard work and dedication. You know, I think it's

664
00:34:21,560 --> 00:34:26,480
Speaker 1: clear Washington State does not need seniority. We need motivation

665
00:34:26,520 --> 00:34:29,040
Speaker 1: and principle. And I tell every room when you send

666
00:34:29,040 --> 00:34:31,200
Speaker 1: me to Washington DC, that's what I will bring to

667
00:34:31,239 --> 00:34:35,160
Speaker 1: the halls of Congress. So I'm in this for our country.

668
00:34:35,200 --> 00:34:38,400
Speaker 1: I'm in this for my children, for your children, for grandchildren,

669
00:34:38,440 --> 00:34:42,000
Speaker 1: for generations to come. This never was about, you know,

670
00:34:42,080 --> 00:34:44,000
Speaker 1: whether the polling looks good or not. I knew what

671
00:34:44,080 --> 00:34:46,160
Speaker 1: I was willing to do, the work, build the bridges,

672
00:34:46,480 --> 00:34:48,879
Speaker 1: and we will win this race. And we will send

673
00:34:48,880 --> 00:34:51,200
Speaker 1: a shockway from Washington State all the way to Washington

674
00:34:51,280 --> 00:34:54,560
Speaker 1: DC as time to get our country in this great

675
00:34:54,600 --> 00:34:57,400
Speaker 1: state back on track. We're speaking of Tiffany Smiley. She

676
00:34:57,520 --> 00:35:01,319
Speaker 1: is running a fantastic campaign for up in Washington State.

677
00:35:01,360 --> 00:35:05,840
Speaker 1: For anyone who's joining us now, Tiffany Clay Broughts on

678
00:35:05,920 --> 00:35:08,480
Speaker 1: it up yesterday and in some different races that that

679
00:35:08,520 --> 00:35:11,600
Speaker 1: was pretty mind blowing. He asked me how much money

680
00:35:11,640 --> 00:35:15,719
Speaker 1: had been spent on the candidacies of Stacy Abraham's Democrat

681
00:35:15,800 --> 00:35:17,720
Speaker 1: running in Georgia who's going to lose by a lot.

682
00:35:17,920 --> 00:35:21,520
Speaker 1: And Beto O'Rourke Democrat in Texas. One hundred and fifty

683
00:35:21,560 --> 00:35:27,400
Speaker 1: million dollars spent on those two incredibly unsuccessful campaigns. What

684
00:35:27,520 --> 00:35:29,560
Speaker 1: kind of money are they throwing at I got to assume.

685
00:35:29,560 --> 00:35:32,120
Speaker 1: I mean, the New York Times is putting up they're

686
00:35:32,160 --> 00:35:34,759
Speaker 1: putting up the SOS signal right now. They must be

687
00:35:34,800 --> 00:35:39,320
Speaker 1: throwing all kinds of stuff at you. What's going on? Yeah,

688
00:35:39,360 --> 00:35:41,440
Speaker 1: I mean, yes, I mean, Batty Murray is getting more

689
00:35:41,600 --> 00:35:44,239
Speaker 1: and more and more money every day. But but it's

690
00:35:44,280 --> 00:35:47,200
Speaker 1: clear that we're winning each day. Our team, we're mean,

691
00:35:47,320 --> 00:35:50,799
Speaker 1: we're mean, we're fighting. We're here for the people, and

692
00:35:50,840 --> 00:35:55,160
Speaker 1: we're winning every single day, from the messaging war to fundraising.

693
00:35:55,480 --> 00:35:57,000
Speaker 1: So you have a lot of moms, by the way,

694
00:35:57,000 --> 00:36:00,000
Speaker 1: who admits you to Tiffany that they have voted Democrat

695
00:36:00,080 --> 00:36:01,960
Speaker 1: at in the past and now they're coming over to

696
00:36:02,000 --> 00:36:06,319
Speaker 1: your side. Absolutely, and especially the crime issue here in

697
00:36:06,360 --> 00:36:08,719
Speaker 1: Washington State. I was in Seattle a couple of saturdays

698
00:36:08,719 --> 00:36:11,200
Speaker 1: ago speaking to a room. They're Democrats and Independence in

699
00:36:11,239 --> 00:36:13,400
Speaker 1: the room, and they said, we've never felt more in

700
00:36:13,520 --> 00:36:16,319
Speaker 1: safe in our communities, and you know, we have our

701
00:36:16,360 --> 00:36:19,160
Speaker 1: Patty versus public Safety dot com. Anyone can go to

702
00:36:19,200 --> 00:36:21,319
Speaker 1: it and see Patty Murray stoft on crime policies that

703
00:36:21,400 --> 00:36:25,279
Speaker 1: have destroyed and our beautiful city all in Seattle and

704
00:36:25,320 --> 00:36:29,840
Speaker 1: all across Washington State. So as far as like you know, funding,

705
00:36:29,960 --> 00:36:32,759
Speaker 1: I'm honored and we've heavy lifted Washington State because I'm

706
00:36:32,800 --> 00:36:35,560
Speaker 1: funded by the people of Washington State. You know, over

707
00:36:35,600 --> 00:36:37,920
Speaker 1: a year ago people started paying attention because of the

708
00:36:37,960 --> 00:36:40,160
Speaker 1: amount of money that we're raising. It was the people

709
00:36:40,160 --> 00:36:43,799
Speaker 1: of Washington State that have led this and me and

710
00:36:43,800 --> 00:36:47,040
Speaker 1: Patty Murray's fundraising couldn't look more different. I'm honored to

711
00:36:47,080 --> 00:36:49,040
Speaker 1: be funded by the people of Washington State. This is

712
00:36:49,040 --> 00:36:51,960
Speaker 1: a Washington State up campaign and us exactly why we

713
00:36:52,000 --> 00:36:56,000
Speaker 1: are picking up and catching the momentum. I'm fascinated by

714
00:36:56,040 --> 00:36:58,440
Speaker 1: this question too, Tiffany. You're a mom, and we've been

715
00:36:58,480 --> 00:37:01,040
Speaker 1: talking to a lot of Republican law We had the

716
00:37:01,080 --> 00:37:03,600
Speaker 1: moment down in the Colorado debate where Heidig and all

717
00:37:03,680 --> 00:37:06,600
Speaker 1: leaned into yeah, I'm a mad mom over schools being

718
00:37:06,640 --> 00:37:10,640
Speaker 1: shut down, over crime, over all these different things that

719
00:37:10,719 --> 00:37:14,480
Speaker 1: are infuriating. I think moms and dads but as a

720
00:37:14,520 --> 00:37:17,000
Speaker 1: mom on the campaign trail, do you have to sit

721
00:37:17,040 --> 00:37:19,000
Speaker 1: down with your kids at some point and say, hey,

722
00:37:19,200 --> 00:37:22,280
Speaker 1: they're going to say a lot of crazy things about mom.

723
00:37:22,280 --> 00:37:26,400
Speaker 1: And if so, what are those conversations like for your kids,

724
00:37:26,440 --> 00:37:29,320
Speaker 1: who I imagine are now seeing you in a different

725
00:37:29,400 --> 00:37:31,120
Speaker 1: light over the course of this last year and a

726
00:37:31,160 --> 00:37:34,719
Speaker 1: half campaign. Yeah. They You know, our kids have always

727
00:37:34,760 --> 00:37:37,200
Speaker 1: been involved in this campaign and this effort. I want them,

728
00:37:37,360 --> 00:37:38,880
Speaker 1: you know, we always teach them when you have the

729
00:37:38,920 --> 00:37:41,319
Speaker 1: opportunity to do something that's right, that you always do

730
00:37:41,360 --> 00:37:44,279
Speaker 1: it and you stand up and do it with your

731
00:37:44,320 --> 00:37:46,080
Speaker 1: heart and your soul and everything that you have. And

732
00:37:46,120 --> 00:37:48,839
Speaker 1: so they are seeing our family once again stand up

733
00:37:48,840 --> 00:37:52,080
Speaker 1: and serve just a different type of service, you know,

734
00:37:52,120 --> 00:37:54,799
Speaker 1: different than what their father did. But obviously we are

735
00:37:54,920 --> 00:37:57,560
Speaker 1: continuing to share our message and you know, our kids

736
00:37:57,560 --> 00:38:01,000
Speaker 1: are very resilient. There are three amazing little boys who

737
00:38:01,160 --> 00:38:04,400
Speaker 1: had to learn, you know, why their father is blind

738
00:38:04,400 --> 00:38:06,600
Speaker 1: and we had to describe to them, you know, at

739
00:38:06,600 --> 00:38:08,839
Speaker 1: a young age. Scotty's never seen their faces. So they

740
00:38:08,840 --> 00:38:11,720
Speaker 1: were all born after Scotty was blind, that another human

741
00:38:11,760 --> 00:38:14,160
Speaker 1: being tried to kill their father. Instead of killing their father,

742
00:38:14,239 --> 00:38:16,600
Speaker 1: he took his eyes, and all three of them cried

743
00:38:16,640 --> 00:38:19,480
Speaker 1: and were hurt that another human being would be so evil.

744
00:38:19,560 --> 00:38:23,000
Speaker 1: So their perspective on life is is much different. Our

745
00:38:23,040 --> 00:38:27,080
Speaker 1: military kids are extremely resilient, and so actually I have

746
00:38:27,160 --> 00:38:29,880
Speaker 1: my youngest on the campaign trail with me, going to

747
00:38:29,920 --> 00:38:32,840
Speaker 1: different stops and we bring them along with us, and

748
00:38:33,680 --> 00:38:35,880
Speaker 1: you know, I want them to know that freedom of

749
00:38:35,920 --> 00:38:38,160
Speaker 1: speech is a thing. But when you know you're why,

750
00:38:38,280 --> 00:38:41,080
Speaker 1: when you're convicted and you're standing them and doing what's right,

751
00:38:41,840 --> 00:38:44,800
Speaker 1: that you always just deliver that message. So our boys,

752
00:38:45,440 --> 00:38:47,080
Speaker 1: you know, it was cute. The other night, I got

753
00:38:47,120 --> 00:38:50,759
Speaker 1: home late and I kissed Baylor, my youngest. They said,

754
00:38:50,760 --> 00:38:52,680
Speaker 1: you're probably going to leave in the morning, how mom,

755
00:38:52,719 --> 00:38:54,640
Speaker 1: And I said, yes, I am, and Hen looked at me,

756
00:38:54,640 --> 00:38:57,480
Speaker 1: he said, you'd better win. So they certainly know what

757
00:38:57,520 --> 00:38:59,960
Speaker 1: we're fighting for and what we're doing across the wall

758
00:39:00,280 --> 00:39:02,200
Speaker 1: in state. And I love bringing them along with me

759
00:39:02,239 --> 00:39:05,759
Speaker 1: and showing them, you know, just what leadership is and

760
00:39:05,920 --> 00:39:11,600
Speaker 1: serving others. Well, I mean, yeah, yeah, we got I've

761
00:39:11,600 --> 00:39:15,600
Speaker 1: got three boys myself, and so I saw your closing

762
00:39:15,719 --> 00:39:21,000
Speaker 1: campaign ad with your husband and yourself sitting speaking directly

763
00:39:21,040 --> 00:39:24,680
Speaker 1: to the camera was incredibly powerful for people who have

764
00:39:24,840 --> 00:39:27,160
Speaker 1: not seen that ad. Maybe we'll put it up on

765
00:39:27,239 --> 00:39:29,840
Speaker 1: Clay and Bucks so they can see it. But whose

766
00:39:29,880 --> 00:39:31,960
Speaker 1: idea was that? How did it come together? And what

767
00:39:32,000 --> 00:39:34,200
Speaker 1: has the response been to you and your husband sitting

768
00:39:34,200 --> 00:39:36,920
Speaker 1: there directly as you said, your husband blinded during his

769
00:39:37,000 --> 00:39:40,880
Speaker 1: service for the country, directly addressing the camera. It's really

770
00:39:40,920 --> 00:39:44,640
Speaker 1: powerful for a lot of people. Yeah, no, thank you.

771
00:39:44,719 --> 00:39:48,080
Speaker 1: We we wanted to close together because we're doing this together.

772
00:39:48,640 --> 00:39:50,759
Speaker 1: You know, when we talked about getting into this race,

773
00:39:50,840 --> 00:39:54,120
Speaker 1: I had some reservations. We had finally just settled down.

774
00:39:54,160 --> 00:39:56,799
Speaker 1: We weren't moving with the military. Me and Scotty ab

775
00:39:56,840 --> 00:39:59,520
Speaker 1: built a beautiful life, loved Swinton tears. It was worth

776
00:40:00,160 --> 00:40:03,160
Speaker 1: all of it. And it was Scotty who said, Tiffany,

777
00:40:03,320 --> 00:40:05,400
Speaker 1: there's one person who's gonna be a Patty Murray in

778
00:40:05,480 --> 00:40:08,239
Speaker 1: Washington State. And I hate to tell you, honey, but

779
00:40:08,320 --> 00:40:11,120
Speaker 1: it's you. And he said, you know, you kicked me

780
00:40:11,160 --> 00:40:13,279
Speaker 1: out of that hospital bed and you believed in something

781
00:40:13,360 --> 00:40:16,040
Speaker 1: better for me and believe that I still had purpose,

782
00:40:16,560 --> 00:40:18,960
Speaker 1: and he said, go do that for Washington. So it's

783
00:40:18,960 --> 00:40:23,879
Speaker 1: always been our whole family in this journey, and so

784
00:40:24,320 --> 00:40:27,120
Speaker 1: we knew we wanted to close it together and just

785
00:40:27,160 --> 00:40:29,400
Speaker 1: really get to the heart of why we are doing this.

786
00:40:29,840 --> 00:40:33,240
Speaker 1: We are doing this because we love this country. Scotti

787
00:40:33,320 --> 00:40:36,600
Speaker 1: has sacrificed greatly for this country. Like I mentioned, he's

788
00:40:36,600 --> 00:40:39,120
Speaker 1: never seen our children's faces, and so we wanted to

789
00:40:39,120 --> 00:40:41,440
Speaker 1: close it together and just share our heart. We're in

790
00:40:41,480 --> 00:40:44,880
Speaker 1: this because we want to leave our children in America

791
00:40:45,000 --> 00:40:48,000
Speaker 1: that is worth giving their eyesights for. And if the

792
00:40:48,080 --> 00:40:51,759
Speaker 1: answer is not six more years of Patty Murray, Yeah, Tiffany.

793
00:40:52,000 --> 00:40:54,840
Speaker 1: For the people listening, including on ten ninety the Patriot

810
00:41:48,000 --> 00:41:51,440
Speaker 1: thank you, guys, I appreciate you. Thanks so much. You know.

811
00:41:51,640 --> 00:41:54,279
Speaker 1: One of the things that Patty Murray in Washington has

812
00:41:54,280 --> 00:41:57,760
Speaker 1: been trying to gain traction with voters on is taking

813
00:41:57,920 --> 00:42:01,520
Speaker 1: extreme positions on abortion. That's what democrats do. As you know,

814
00:42:02,120 --> 00:42:05,319
Speaker 1: Rov Wade is no longer something that is the law

815
00:42:05,360 --> 00:42:07,680
Speaker 1: of the land, but there are still abortions happening all

816
00:42:07,719 --> 00:42:10,319
Speaker 1: over the country. What can you do right now as

817
00:42:10,360 --> 00:42:14,560
Speaker 1: part of the pro life community to save lives today. Well,

818
00:42:14,600 --> 00:42:17,560
Speaker 1: that's why you should partner with Preborn Pregnancy Clinics. They

819
00:42:17,600 --> 00:42:20,800
Speaker 1: help rescue the most value, most vulnerable in our society,

820
00:42:21,200 --> 00:42:25,359
Speaker 1: preborn babies. Preborn Clinics began their mission sixteen years ago

821
00:42:25,440 --> 00:42:28,120
Speaker 1: and they have rescued hundreds of thousands of babies lives

822
00:42:28,120 --> 00:42:31,280
Speaker 1: in the process. Here's how Preborn does it. They introduce

823
00:42:31,360 --> 00:42:33,799
Speaker 1: moms to their babies through an ultrasound, and when she

824
00:42:33,840 --> 00:42:37,279
Speaker 1: sees that precious baby, here's that heartbeat, that heartbeat that

825
00:42:37,320 --> 00:42:40,799
Speaker 1: says I'm alive, mommy. The majority of the time she

826
00:42:40,880 --> 00:42:45,040
Speaker 1: will choose life. One ultrasound is just twenty eight dollars.

827
00:42:45,120 --> 00:42:47,600
Speaker 1: Or you can sponsor five ultrasounds for one hundred and

828
00:42:47,680 --> 00:42:51,040
Speaker 1: forty dollars and now through a matching gift. By the way,

829
00:42:51,080 --> 00:42:53,960
Speaker 1: your gifts is tax deductible. It will be doubled, so

830
00:42:54,000 --> 00:42:56,680
Speaker 1: you could save twice as many babies lives in this process.

831
00:42:57,120 --> 00:43:01,000
Speaker 1: You can help today, right now. Save. All you have

841
00:43:31,360 --> 00:43:35,160
Speaker 1: in Bucks Countdown to Election Day podcast. We head up

842
00:43:35,200 --> 00:43:37,840
Speaker 1: to the Empire State now where we are joined by

843
00:43:38,200 --> 00:43:42,640
Speaker 1: Lee Zelden who is giving Kathy Hokel all she wanted

844
00:43:42,800 --> 00:43:46,560
Speaker 1: and more in the race for the New York governor's seat.

845
00:43:47,000 --> 00:43:49,600
Speaker 1: And Lee, we appreciate you joining us. You've been on

846
00:43:49,680 --> 00:43:54,920
Speaker 1: with us a few times before. Congratulations on the momentum.

847
00:43:55,000 --> 00:43:57,920
Speaker 1: What needs to happen between now an election day for

848
00:43:57,960 --> 00:44:01,680
Speaker 1: you to win and kick Kathy Hokel out of the

849
00:44:01,760 --> 00:44:06,160
Speaker 1: governor's mansion in Albany. We need everybody to vote, and

850
00:44:06,239 --> 00:44:08,919
Speaker 1: you know it seems so simple, but we're going into

851
00:44:08,920 --> 00:44:13,239
Speaker 1: a midterm and we need presidential level turnout wherever we

852
00:44:13,320 --> 00:44:16,759
Speaker 1: can possibly pull that out. And that means that everybody

853
00:44:16,800 --> 00:44:21,280
Speaker 1: needs to tell everyone they know, taking nothing for granted, friends, family, neighbors, strangers,

854
00:44:21,360 --> 00:44:25,320
Speaker 1: co workers, on social media, emails, text, word of mouth

855
00:44:25,880 --> 00:44:28,960
Speaker 1: for the next six days. These are long days. If

856
00:44:28,960 --> 00:44:31,640
Speaker 1: you start early and end late and actually dedicate the

857
00:44:31,719 --> 00:44:35,960
Speaker 1: bandwidth doing this, you might think, as one person, well,

858
00:44:36,000 --> 00:44:38,719
Speaker 1: what kind of difference can I make? This is all

859
00:44:38,760 --> 00:44:42,000
Speaker 1: about what everybody does together and how that adds up.

860
00:44:42,440 --> 00:44:45,439
Speaker 1: So there are millions of New Yorkers counting on you,

861
00:44:46,239 --> 00:44:49,680
Speaker 1: whoever's out there listening to do your part. We're all

862
00:44:49,719 --> 00:44:52,960
Speaker 1: counting on each other, and we have all of the momentum,

863
00:44:52,960 --> 00:44:55,080
Speaker 1: we have all the energy, we have the issues on

864
00:44:55,080 --> 00:44:58,640
Speaker 1: our side. They said that this was impossible. This race

865
00:44:58,719 --> 00:45:01,359
Speaker 1: right now is a dead heat. Falger yesterday morning said

866
00:45:01,360 --> 00:45:04,200
Speaker 1: we're up one. Let's called it dead heat. We need

867
00:45:04,239 --> 00:45:08,080
Speaker 1: to make sure I mean imperson early voting as are,

868
00:45:08,160 --> 00:45:12,480
Speaker 1: he started, take nothing for granted, maybe even mentality. Should

869
00:45:12,480 --> 00:45:15,280
Speaker 1: you think like you're even behind? And if we close

870
00:45:15,400 --> 00:45:17,680
Speaker 1: this out strong, we're going to be winning this race

871
00:45:17,719 --> 00:45:20,440
Speaker 1: on Tuesday, making a history. New York is at a

872
00:45:20,440 --> 00:45:23,120
Speaker 1: crossroads right here. Last time we were at this place,

873
00:45:23,239 --> 00:45:27,200
Speaker 1: nineteen ninety four, New York elected George Pataki, and with

874
00:45:27,320 --> 00:45:29,719
Speaker 1: all apologies to Prince, I think New York is read

875
00:45:29,719 --> 00:45:32,920
Speaker 1: at a party like it's nineteen ninety four. I think

876
00:45:32,960 --> 00:45:35,440
Speaker 1: you're onto something there, Lee. It's buck And as you know,

877
00:45:35,480 --> 00:45:37,920
Speaker 1: I was born and raised in the city and have

878
00:45:38,040 --> 00:45:42,399
Speaker 1: been a lifelong New Yorker, and I know what it's

879
00:45:42,440 --> 00:45:44,800
Speaker 1: like when it turns around. That was one of the

880
00:45:44,880 --> 00:45:47,480
Speaker 1: things that was so amazing about New York City. And

881
00:45:47,480 --> 00:45:51,560
Speaker 1: then of course the ramification statewide was that when you

882
00:45:51,640 --> 00:45:54,160
Speaker 1: had better governance, when you had backing for police, when

883
00:45:54,160 --> 00:45:56,680
Speaker 1: you had a pro business climate, when you had saved streets.

884
00:45:57,120 --> 00:46:00,440
Speaker 1: It just it just had reverberations and you could feel it.

885
00:46:00,520 --> 00:46:02,360
Speaker 1: You are aware of it. I was aware of it

886
00:46:02,400 --> 00:46:04,960
Speaker 1: certainly from the early nineties into the early two thousands

887
00:46:04,960 --> 00:46:07,040
Speaker 1: of transformation. I think you can be a part of that,

888
00:46:07,440 --> 00:46:09,960
Speaker 1: the beginning of that statewide, and for our listeners in

889
00:46:10,080 --> 00:46:14,560
Speaker 1: w g Y Albany, Wha, I'm Rochester, wsy R, Syracuse,

890
00:46:14,719 --> 00:46:19,360
Speaker 1: w LVL, Buffalo and of course WR NYC and other stations.

891
00:46:19,360 --> 00:46:20,799
Speaker 1: I can't name all of them all across the stake

892
00:46:20,800 --> 00:46:24,360
Speaker 1: because we've got so many. What is it exactly that

893
00:46:24,560 --> 00:46:27,560
Speaker 1: Kathy Hokel stands for when it comes to the crime issue.

894
00:46:28,080 --> 00:46:31,480
Speaker 1: Is it that there is no crime problem, or that

895
00:46:31,600 --> 00:46:34,000
Speaker 1: Democrats are doing a great job on the prime a

896
00:46:34,040 --> 00:46:38,120
Speaker 1: crime problem, or that talking about the crime problem is

897
00:46:39,120 --> 00:46:41,440
Speaker 1: a problem in itself. I'm not clear on it. I'm

898
00:46:41,440 --> 00:46:45,839
Speaker 1: wondering if you could help elucidate this. Well. Last week

899
00:46:45,880 --> 00:46:48,479
Speaker 1: it a debate when I was talking about the need

900
00:46:49,040 --> 00:46:52,080
Speaker 1: to be locking up the bad guys. She could have

901
00:46:52,120 --> 00:46:55,000
Speaker 1: taken it as a hint a clue and say, oh, yeah,

902
00:46:55,040 --> 00:46:57,400
Speaker 1: that's right, and then get to that part of the

903
00:46:57,480 --> 00:47:00,919
Speaker 1: answering questions on how to fight crime. Instead, she said

904
00:47:01,280 --> 00:47:03,560
Speaker 1: she doesn't understand why that is so important to me.

905
00:47:03,600 --> 00:47:06,000
Speaker 1: And when she says that she doesn't understand why that's

906
00:47:06,000 --> 00:47:08,200
Speaker 1: so important to me, she's saying that she doesn't understand

907
00:47:08,480 --> 00:47:11,240
Speaker 1: why that's so important in New Yorkers. This past weekend,

908
00:47:11,600 --> 00:47:14,600
Speaker 1: she was on MSNBC with Al Sharpton, and she was

909
00:47:14,640 --> 00:47:18,319
Speaker 1: saying that our efforts to fight crimes, talking about the

910
00:47:18,480 --> 00:47:22,279
Speaker 1: rising crime on our streets and holding weak prosecutors accountable,

911
00:47:22,280 --> 00:47:25,919
Speaker 1: that the prosecutors were letting violent criminals run free. She's

912
00:47:25,960 --> 00:47:28,920
Speaker 1: saying that that's a conspiracy. She's saying that we are

913
00:47:29,120 --> 00:47:32,719
Speaker 1: data deniers. Well, I mean she must be denying all

914
00:47:32,760 --> 00:47:35,080
Speaker 1: sorts of crime in order to come up with that logic,

915
00:47:35,360 --> 00:47:39,319
Speaker 1: because all sorts of major crime stats are up, and

916
00:47:39,360 --> 00:47:42,040
Speaker 1: we're not talking about up two or three points. There's

917
00:47:42,080 --> 00:47:45,799
Speaker 1: all different categories up over thirty percent year over year

918
00:47:45,880 --> 00:47:49,520
Speaker 1: from last year. So what she wants is for everybody

919
00:47:49,560 --> 00:47:52,000
Speaker 1: to just look away. There's nothing to see here. This

920
00:47:52,120 --> 00:47:54,600
Speaker 1: is a perception. She doesn't want us talking about crime.

921
00:47:55,280 --> 00:47:57,840
Speaker 1: But the problem is is that New Yorkers not only

922
00:47:58,400 --> 00:48:00,360
Speaker 1: believe what they see with their own eye in the

923
00:48:00,440 --> 00:48:04,160
Speaker 1: videos of stories, what they hear from others, what they

924
00:48:04,200 --> 00:48:08,040
Speaker 1: see in the news reports. They are demanding that the

925
00:48:08,160 --> 00:48:12,120
Speaker 1: governor be strong on crime, and instead what they're getting

926
00:48:12,239 --> 00:48:17,120
Speaker 1: is a lecture. They're being dismissed. Really, Kathy Holkley has

927
00:48:17,120 --> 00:48:21,560
Speaker 1: alienated herself from everybody because instead of saying, this is

928
00:48:21,560 --> 00:48:24,840
Speaker 1: the issue that's on the ground, these are my solutions

929
00:48:24,880 --> 00:48:27,000
Speaker 1: to actually solve it, and I am all in doing

930
00:48:27,040 --> 00:48:30,279
Speaker 1: everything in my power with zero tolerance for failure to

931
00:48:30,320 --> 00:48:33,560
Speaker 1: make sure that we take back our streets. Kind of

932
00:48:33,600 --> 00:48:36,880
Speaker 1: passed it all up, and now she's ceded this ground.

933
00:48:37,239 --> 00:48:39,600
Speaker 1: So there are all sorts of Democrats and independence out

934
00:48:39,600 --> 00:48:41,480
Speaker 1: there who now come up to me and say that

935
00:48:41,520 --> 00:48:44,480
Speaker 1: they're a Democrat. They've always voted Democrats their entire life,

936
00:48:44,880 --> 00:48:46,600
Speaker 1: but this year they're voting for me. We have to

937
00:48:46,640 --> 00:48:50,160
Speaker 1: take our streets, beat Lee. One of the funniest attacks

938
00:48:50,160 --> 00:48:52,640
Speaker 1: I've seen on you is that your anti anti Semitic.

939
00:48:53,560 --> 00:48:56,600
Speaker 1: I'll let you. I'll let you handle that one. But

940
00:48:57,040 --> 00:49:01,960
Speaker 1: you mentioned a lot of traditional Democrat voters, Asians, Hispanics,

941
00:49:02,400 --> 00:49:05,719
Speaker 1: black voters, a lot of Jewish voters. They are fed

942
00:49:05,800 --> 00:49:09,279
Speaker 1: up with the situation on the ground in New York. Obviously,

943
00:49:09,360 --> 00:49:13,520
Speaker 1: Republicans listening right now need to support you, But how

944
00:49:13,560 --> 00:49:17,120
Speaker 1: much have you been gratified to see independence and also

945
00:49:17,280 --> 00:49:22,080
Speaker 1: Democrats coming into your campaign. Oh, it's been amazing. I

946
00:49:22,120 --> 00:49:25,440
Speaker 1: mean we've been getting a lot of support in from

947
00:49:25,880 --> 00:49:31,520
Speaker 1: a lot yesterday, slew of influential endorsements from the Orthodox

948
00:49:31,600 --> 00:49:36,719
Speaker 1: Jewish community in Brooklyn. We have strong support coming in

949
00:49:36,800 --> 00:49:40,080
Speaker 1: from the Dominican community. It's a big population. They had

950
00:49:40,239 --> 00:49:42,879
Speaker 1: Jose Alba as you remember a few months ago, one

951
00:49:42,920 --> 00:49:45,520
Speaker 1: of their own working in a bodega, gets attack. He

952
00:49:45,640 --> 00:49:48,440
Speaker 1: has to defend himself, clear cut case of self defense.

953
00:49:48,800 --> 00:49:51,080
Speaker 1: Alvin Bragg throws him in a riker's island with an

954
00:49:51,080 --> 00:49:53,440
Speaker 1: open stab wound, slaps him with a murder charge and

955
00:49:53,480 --> 00:49:57,200
Speaker 1: ask for hundreds of thousands of dollars in bail. I've

956
00:49:57,239 --> 00:49:59,320
Speaker 1: spent a lot of time with the Asian American community

957
00:49:59,360 --> 00:50:02,760
Speaker 1: and from edgec to their desire to fight crime. People

958
00:50:02,760 --> 00:50:05,960
Speaker 1: in their own community are being murdered because of raw,

959
00:50:06,160 --> 00:50:09,799
Speaker 1: violent anti Asian hate. I've spent a lot of time

960
00:50:09,840 --> 00:50:11,560
Speaker 1: with the black community as well, and I'll tell you

961
00:50:11,600 --> 00:50:16,000
Speaker 1: that there's a big enthusiasm gap. Nobody loves Kassie Hokel.

962
00:50:16,320 --> 00:50:19,439
Speaker 1: There are people out there who are registered Democrats who

963
00:50:19,960 --> 00:50:25,200
Speaker 1: you know, they're not independent. They don't question this move

964
00:50:25,280 --> 00:50:27,360
Speaker 1: of the party to the far left. I get that,

965
00:50:27,760 --> 00:50:29,560
Speaker 1: But there are a whole lot of other Democrats who

966
00:50:29,600 --> 00:50:32,920
Speaker 1: are disenfranchised Democrats. They feel like the parties left them.

967
00:50:32,960 --> 00:50:35,719
Speaker 1: They want to get tough on crime. There are Democrats

968
00:50:35,760 --> 00:50:38,920
Speaker 1: in New York City who registered Democrat because that's what

969
00:50:38,960 --> 00:50:41,080
Speaker 1: you do in New York City, they say, and they

970
00:50:41,080 --> 00:50:43,200
Speaker 1: want their vote to count, and they feel like in

971
00:50:43,280 --> 00:50:44,680
Speaker 1: order to make their vote count, they need to be

972
00:50:44,680 --> 00:50:46,799
Speaker 1: able to vote in a Democratic primary for the most

973
00:50:46,800 --> 00:50:50,480
Speaker 1: normal option if they're given a normal option. So all

974
00:50:50,520 --> 00:50:51,879
Speaker 1: of this adds up. We need to get at least

975
00:50:51,880 --> 00:50:53,920
Speaker 1: thirty percent of the vote inside in New York City.

976
00:50:54,520 --> 00:50:56,640
Speaker 1: You know, we have no shot of winning if we

977
00:50:56,680 --> 00:50:59,680
Speaker 1: get less than thirty percent. If you get thirty five

978
00:51:00,360 --> 00:51:02,560
Speaker 1: or more inside of New York City, it starts to

979
00:51:02,600 --> 00:51:06,520
Speaker 1: become very difficult to lose. In each additional point, that

980
00:51:06,560 --> 00:51:10,560
Speaker 1: becomes more and more unlikely. And we've been consistently polling

981
00:51:10,600 --> 00:51:12,680
Speaker 1: in the load of mid thirties. Some polls have shown

982
00:51:12,760 --> 00:51:15,840
Speaker 1: us even in the high thirties. If we're able to

983
00:51:15,880 --> 00:51:18,600
Speaker 1: get thirty five percent or more inside of New York City,

984
00:51:18,719 --> 00:51:21,279
Speaker 1: I don't see how we lose this race. So we've

985
00:51:21,320 --> 00:51:23,520
Speaker 1: been working it hard, and it's been great to see

986
00:51:23,520 --> 00:51:26,520
Speaker 1: how many people who have voted Democrat always in their

987
00:51:26,560 --> 00:51:30,800
Speaker 1: life or supporting us, and included Democratic elected officials, former

988
00:51:30,840 --> 00:51:35,440
Speaker 1: Democratic elected officials, Democrat community leaders, and they've been all

989
00:51:35,480 --> 00:51:37,800
Speaker 1: courageous and stepping out and saying, you know what, I

990
00:51:37,840 --> 00:51:40,160
Speaker 1: don't I don't care whether or not I'm one party

991
00:51:40,160 --> 00:51:43,000
Speaker 1: and he's another party. We're working together as New Yorkers

992
00:51:43,040 --> 00:51:44,879
Speaker 1: to be able to save the city and save the state.

993
00:51:45,280 --> 00:51:49,200
Speaker 1: We're speaking of Liezelden. He is in an absolutely critical

994
00:51:49,840 --> 00:51:53,640
Speaker 1: fight for the governor's race governor's mansion rather in New

995
00:51:53,719 --> 00:51:57,800
Speaker 1: York and Lee, you're talking about New York City obviously

996
00:51:58,000 --> 00:52:01,759
Speaker 1: the town that I know very well. And I want

997
00:52:01,760 --> 00:52:03,799
Speaker 1: to know what you can say to people listening in

998
00:52:03,880 --> 00:52:06,759
Speaker 1: New York and its environs, right because to me, there's

999
00:52:06,800 --> 00:52:09,120
Speaker 1: there's the residence of New York City, but there's the commuters,

1000
00:52:09,120 --> 00:52:11,839
Speaker 1: there's the people to live, you know, within a couple

1001
00:52:11,840 --> 00:52:14,239
Speaker 1: of hours, who will drive in for a weekend or

1002
00:52:14,680 --> 00:52:17,480
Speaker 1: to see a show or a ballgame or whatever. To

1003
00:52:17,640 --> 00:52:20,640
Speaker 1: those people, what can you tell us will be different?

1004
00:52:20,680 --> 00:52:23,040
Speaker 1: Because obviously you're running for the governor, not for the

1005
00:52:23,680 --> 00:52:27,400
Speaker 1: mayor's office. What can the governor do day one to

1006
00:52:27,640 --> 00:52:30,719
Speaker 1: change the trajectory and start to make things better in

1007
00:52:30,840 --> 00:52:33,120
Speaker 1: New York City? Because again I saw it, I know

1008
00:52:33,200 --> 00:52:35,440
Speaker 1: you know what I'm talking about. When New York City

1009
00:52:35,480 --> 00:52:38,280
Speaker 1: gets fixed, the rest of the state tends to follow.

1010
00:52:40,120 --> 00:52:42,160
Speaker 1: The first thing I will do the first day that

1011
00:52:42,200 --> 00:52:44,800
Speaker 1: I'm sworn into office is tell them hend district Attorney

1012
00:52:44,800 --> 00:52:47,880
Speaker 1: Alvin Bragg, that he's being removed for his refusal to

1013
00:52:48,000 --> 00:52:50,839
Speaker 1: enforce the law. We don't have recall elections in New York,

1014
00:52:50,920 --> 00:52:54,200
Speaker 1: but the governor has the constitutional authority to remove a

1015
00:52:54,239 --> 00:52:57,520
Speaker 1: district attorney who refuses to enforce the law. And Alvin

1016
00:52:57,520 --> 00:53:00,640
Speaker 1: Bragg is refusing to do his job, I'm going to

1017
00:53:00,719 --> 00:53:03,960
Speaker 1: declare a crime emergency on day one. I will suspend

1018
00:53:04,160 --> 00:53:07,440
Speaker 1: New York's Castle's bad law all to act raise the

1019
00:53:07,520 --> 00:53:10,399
Speaker 1: age less is more than the discovery law changes to

1020
00:53:10,480 --> 00:53:13,759
Speaker 1: force the state legislature to come to the table. They're

1021
00:53:13,760 --> 00:53:16,360
Speaker 1: indicating right now that they're not going to come to

1022
00:53:16,440 --> 00:53:18,800
Speaker 1: the table. Well, we have to bring them to the table.

1023
00:53:19,400 --> 00:53:21,759
Speaker 1: The governor has the legal authority to do so, and

1024
00:53:21,840 --> 00:53:25,240
Speaker 1: there is a crime emergency, So I'm declaring the obvious

1025
00:53:25,239 --> 00:53:28,320
Speaker 1: and I'm taking action starting on day one. We have

1026
00:53:28,400 --> 00:53:30,200
Speaker 1: to roll back some of these pro criminal laws have

1027
00:53:30,280 --> 00:53:32,800
Speaker 1: been passed. We have to stop passing new pro criminal laws.

1028
00:53:33,160 --> 00:53:35,400
Speaker 1: We need our district attorneys enforcing the law, and we

1029
00:53:35,400 --> 00:53:38,960
Speaker 1: need to support unapologetically our selfless men and women in

1030
00:53:39,040 --> 00:53:41,480
Speaker 1: law enforcement. We should pass the Law Enforcement Bill of Rights.

1031
00:53:41,480 --> 00:53:44,440
Speaker 1: We should push back on this attack unqualified immunity for

1032
00:53:44,520 --> 00:53:47,920
Speaker 1: law enforcement. We put out a plan last year, our

1033
00:53:48,000 --> 00:53:50,520
Speaker 1: Secure our Streets Plan on our website zelden for New

1034
00:53:50,600 --> 00:53:53,839
Speaker 1: York dot com slash to cure our Streets. It's a

1035
00:53:53,840 --> 00:53:57,799
Speaker 1: couple of a dozen different proposals, and we just want

1036
00:53:57,800 --> 00:53:59,680
Speaker 1: to hit the ground running on day one where people

1037
00:53:59,719 --> 00:54:02,600
Speaker 1: real that law binding New Yorkers are back in control

1038
00:54:02,600 --> 00:54:06,560
Speaker 1: of these streets again. Lee, certainly there's an all points

1039
00:54:06,560 --> 00:54:10,279
Speaker 1: bulletin out Democrats are panicked. New York Times is covering it.

1040
00:54:10,600 --> 00:54:14,120
Speaker 1: New York Daily News, your rise and the threat that

1041
00:54:14,440 --> 00:54:17,719
Speaker 1: your victory could bring to bear. As a result, they're

1042
00:54:17,719 --> 00:54:21,919
Speaker 1: bringing out a lot of Democrats speakers, Hillary Clinton among them.

1043
00:54:22,480 --> 00:54:25,600
Speaker 1: Am I crazy? Or when they trot out Hillary Clinton

1044
00:54:25,600 --> 00:54:28,440
Speaker 1: and Joe Biden, does it actually almost work as an

1045
00:54:28,440 --> 00:54:31,640
Speaker 1: advertisement for your campaign. When you see who they're bringing

1046
00:54:31,640 --> 00:54:36,239
Speaker 1: in as sort of these surrogates, are you looking around saying,

1047
00:54:36,280 --> 00:54:38,520
Speaker 1: this just proves the case that I'm making even better

1048
00:54:38,560 --> 00:54:43,400
Speaker 1: maybe than I'm making it. Tomorrow she has a rally

1049
00:54:43,400 --> 00:54:47,880
Speaker 1: in Sido, Manhattan with Kamala Harris and Hillary Clinton. And

1050
00:54:48,400 --> 00:54:52,279
Speaker 1: this is an election where New Yorkers have decided that

1051
00:54:52,320 --> 00:54:56,000
Speaker 1: they're unhappy with the direction of the state. They're unhappy

1052
00:54:56,040 --> 00:54:58,480
Speaker 1: with the status quo. They want to go a different way,

1053
00:54:58,520 --> 00:55:02,040
Speaker 1: they want to go tough on crime, they are willing

1054
00:55:02,080 --> 00:55:06,960
Speaker 1: to cross party lines and support a Republican And you

1055
00:55:07,000 --> 00:55:10,440
Speaker 1: can't have a rally speech of Hillary Clinton and Kamala

1056
00:55:10,520 --> 00:55:14,640
Speaker 1: Harris that's going to be convincing people who are still

1057
00:55:14,680 --> 00:55:19,520
Speaker 1: making their minds up that if you vote for Kathy

1058
00:55:19,600 --> 00:55:22,560
Speaker 1: Hokeel that New York suddenly is going to start going

1059
00:55:22,560 --> 00:55:25,440
Speaker 1: in a different direction. There's just too many New Yorkers

1060
00:55:25,480 --> 00:55:28,280
Speaker 1: who feel like the state is heading in the wrong direction.

1061
00:55:28,680 --> 00:55:33,279
Speaker 1: And these are not surrogates who represent positive change. These

1062
00:55:33,320 --> 00:55:38,240
Speaker 1: people are, you know, especially Kamala Harris is capable tomorrow

1063
00:55:38,280 --> 00:55:43,840
Speaker 1: of making statements. Kathy Hokeel is capable of making statements

1064
00:55:44,200 --> 00:55:47,120
Speaker 1: that end up giving their rally attention for all of

1065
00:55:47,120 --> 00:55:50,440
Speaker 1: the wrong reasons. And you know, we'll see how it goes.

1066
00:55:50,600 --> 00:55:53,680
Speaker 1: But what kind of remarks really are going to come

1067
00:55:53,680 --> 00:55:57,279
Speaker 1: out of Kamala Harris and Hillary Clinton's mouth tomorrow. That's

1068
00:55:57,320 --> 00:56:00,400
Speaker 1: going to be, you know, convincing people. Oh, man, I

1069
00:56:00,400 --> 00:56:04,000
Speaker 1: guess we should vote for Kathy Hokel because Kamala Harris

1070
00:56:04,040 --> 00:56:07,600
Speaker 1: said so. Lee. We've got a lot of New Yorkers

1071
00:56:07,640 --> 00:56:10,600
Speaker 1: listening right now. We know that they need to vote

1072
00:56:10,640 --> 00:56:12,960
Speaker 1: for you. Anything else they can do, where should they go?

1073
00:56:14,320 --> 00:56:16,319
Speaker 1: You go to our website at zelden for New York

1074
00:56:16,360 --> 00:56:21,360
Speaker 1: dot com done up to volunteer. You could donate five dollars.

1075
00:56:22,480 --> 00:56:25,040
Speaker 1: You can go on our social media accounts and get

1076
00:56:25,080 --> 00:56:28,120
Speaker 1: engaged in the conversation there. You could just take matters

1077
00:56:28,160 --> 00:56:31,640
Speaker 1: into your own hands and just communicating, going through your

1078
00:56:32,320 --> 00:56:36,839
Speaker 1: cell phone numbers, going through your emails, going through your

1079
00:56:36,880 --> 00:56:41,160
Speaker 1: social media count just start pounding away and the quick,

1080
00:56:41,239 --> 00:56:44,960
Speaker 1: instant free methods that are now available to get a

1081
00:56:45,000 --> 00:56:48,919
Speaker 1: message out wide and convince people. Maybe you could even

1082
00:56:49,000 --> 00:56:53,360
Speaker 1: flip a few votes. Ask people why are they voting

1083
00:56:53,400 --> 00:56:57,040
Speaker 1: for somebody else? And when they give you a reason,

1084
00:56:57,600 --> 00:57:01,040
Speaker 1: what you'll find is it's usually hyperboll it cannot accurate.

1085
00:57:01,640 --> 00:57:04,080
Speaker 1: So you know, if you're able to actually flip a vote,

1086
00:57:04,120 --> 00:57:07,080
Speaker 1: well that's two, that's actually two votes, you know, one

1087
00:57:07,160 --> 00:57:09,160
Speaker 1: less for the other side and one more on ours.

1088
00:57:09,600 --> 00:57:12,279
Speaker 1: And meanwhile, there are people in our lives who are

1089
00:57:12,320 --> 00:57:16,919
Speaker 1: considered low propensity voters, people who rarely, if ever come

1090
00:57:16,920 --> 00:57:20,600
Speaker 1: out to vote. Convince them to show up. It is

1091
00:57:20,640 --> 00:57:22,760
Speaker 1: not just a right to vote, is a duty. It

1092
00:57:22,840 --> 00:57:25,760
Speaker 1: is your obligation. If you have anybody in your life

1093
00:57:25,760 --> 00:57:28,040
Speaker 1: who wants to tell you about how they are a

1094
00:57:28,040 --> 00:57:31,520
Speaker 1: proud American but they're a low propensity voter, tell them that,

1095
00:57:31,960 --> 00:57:35,320
Speaker 1: you know, proud Americans understand that this is your obligation

1096
00:57:35,360 --> 00:57:37,440
Speaker 1: to show up on election day to cast the vote.

1097
00:57:37,720 --> 00:57:40,160
Speaker 1: We have to get our vote out. That's the difference

1098
00:57:40,200 --> 00:57:43,640
Speaker 1: between you and losing. At this point, Liezel, then we're

1099
00:57:43,720 --> 00:57:45,320
Speaker 1: rooting for you, my ma'am. We'll get you on soon

1100
00:57:45,360 --> 00:57:48,720
Speaker 1: after you beat Kathy Hokel and become the New York governor.

Speaker 1: Keep it up, thanks, guys. Some of the Towers Foundations

1105

1106
00:58:06,160 --> 00:58:08,640

Speaker 1: wife and three young kids. When a first responder or

1109
00:58:14,760 --> 00:58:17,720
Speaker 1: military service member doesn't come home and young kids are

1110
00:58:17,840 --> 00:58:20,440
Speaker 1: left behind, Tonal of the Towers will pay off the

1111

Speaker 1: support the family. After Christopher's death, Tonal of the Towers

1116
00:58:37,520 --> 00:58:40,320
Speaker 1: honored his service and paid off the mortgage. Thanks to

1121
00:58:55,200 --> 00:58:59,640
Speaker 1: Bucks countdown to Election Day podcast Intel for the Informed Voter,

1122
00:59:00,040 --> 00:59:04,640
Speaker 1: Amazing Raisin Christine Raisin back with us now. Christine, You're

1123
00:59:04,680 --> 00:59:06,920
Speaker 1: looking pretty good in the polls, but we know it's

1124
00:59:06,960 --> 00:59:09,800
Speaker 1: pedal to the metal. What's going on right now? What

1125
00:59:09,880 --> 00:59:11,680
Speaker 1: are they throwing at you? And how do you close

1126
00:59:11,760 --> 00:59:15,400
Speaker 1: this deal? Oh? You guys, thanks again for having me back.

1127
00:59:15,480 --> 00:59:17,800
Speaker 1: I'm so excited to be back with you today. Here's

1128
00:59:17,840 --> 00:59:21,360
Speaker 1: the thing. The Democrats have all of a sudden decided

1129
00:59:21,440 --> 00:59:23,440
Speaker 1: that they are going to campaign in this race and

1130
00:59:23,480 --> 00:59:27,439
Speaker 1: they're going to try to actually win. There. For a while,

1131
00:59:27,480 --> 00:59:30,360
Speaker 1: I thought that they were just determined to lose because

1132
00:59:30,440 --> 00:59:33,480
Speaker 1: they were trying to manipulate voters and sale the things.

1133
00:59:33,560 --> 00:59:36,880
Speaker 1: But now they've doubled down on that and they're spending

1134
00:59:36,880 --> 00:59:39,720
Speaker 1: even more money than they were before to misleading light

1135
00:59:39,800 --> 00:59:42,160
Speaker 1: of voters. But it does look like they weren't taking

1136
00:59:42,200 --> 00:59:45,120
Speaker 1: this race for grant anymore, which means this, I need

1137
00:59:45,160 --> 00:59:47,280
Speaker 1: anybody that wants to change in the state of Oregon

1138
00:59:47,760 --> 00:59:52,080
Speaker 1: to vote. The pedal doesn't medal, and this final week

1139
00:59:52,120 --> 00:59:55,400
Speaker 1: of this race is really all about in Oregon getting

1140
00:59:55,400 --> 00:59:58,040
Speaker 1: people to take the bell that's sitting on the kitchen counter,

1141
00:59:58,640 --> 01:00:02,280
Speaker 1: fill it out, and turn it in. Because we don't

1142
01:00:02,320 --> 01:00:05,040
Speaker 1: have in person voting, we have all vote by mail.

1143
01:00:05,080 --> 01:00:07,720
Speaker 1: In my state, people have had their ballots for a

1144
01:00:07,720 --> 01:00:11,520
Speaker 1: couple of weeks, so I need he to Oregonians to

1145
01:00:11,560 --> 01:00:14,800
Speaker 1: get real serious, real fast about turning their ballots in

1146
01:00:15,200 --> 01:00:17,840
Speaker 1: and helping us pull us across the finish line, because

1147
01:00:18,120 --> 01:00:21,160
Speaker 1: the Democrats are just waking up. I mean, my opponent

1148
01:00:21,200 --> 01:00:25,520
Speaker 1: Tina Cotech is spending more money on YouTube and digital

1149
01:00:25,600 --> 01:00:28,200
Speaker 1: platforms than almost any other candidate in the nation because

1150
01:00:28,520 --> 01:00:32,000
Speaker 1: she knows she's losing today. But that's only if Oregonians

1151
01:00:32,000 --> 01:00:35,479
Speaker 1: show up and turning their ballots. Christine. We started having

1152
01:00:35,520 --> 01:00:38,920
Speaker 1: you on, people said Buck and I were crazy for

1153
01:00:39,040 --> 01:00:41,120
Speaker 1: telling them that you were going to win in Oregon.

1154
01:00:41,640 --> 01:00:44,240
Speaker 1: And so, first of all, you are going to win

1155
01:00:44,280 --> 01:00:46,520
Speaker 1: in Oregon, and Buck and I are personally going to

1156
01:00:46,560 --> 01:00:49,200
Speaker 1: come up and celebrate with you in Oregon at some

1157
01:00:49,320 --> 01:00:53,280
Speaker 1: point because it's such a monumental event. Yeah, for you

1158
01:00:53,360 --> 01:00:55,680
Speaker 1: to take, like when you came on and talked about

1159
01:00:55,680 --> 01:00:57,520
Speaker 1: the fact that for the first time since the nineteen

1160
01:00:57,560 --> 01:00:59,880
Speaker 1: eighties or Republican can win, it feels like such a

1161
01:00:59,880 --> 01:01:03,400
Speaker 1: seismic moments. So we need everybody out there to support you.

1162
01:01:04,000 --> 01:01:06,440
Speaker 1: I'm curious as we come down the stretch and I've

1163
01:01:06,440 --> 01:01:08,920
Speaker 1: started to read all these articles in Politico and New

1164
01:01:09,000 --> 01:01:11,840
Speaker 1: York Times and everywhere else where. They're like, oh, this

1165
01:01:12,200 --> 01:01:14,840
Speaker 1: Christine Dreysen has a real chance of winning an Oregon

1166
01:01:14,920 --> 01:01:17,680
Speaker 1: And as they've all started to panic a little bit,

1167
01:01:18,160 --> 01:01:21,919
Speaker 1: what's the craziest thing that you have seen said about you?

1168
01:01:22,240 --> 01:01:25,640
Speaker 1: That's totally not true, but is a sign of the

1169
01:01:25,800 --> 01:01:28,720
Speaker 1: desperation sort of. The example that I use is you

1170
01:01:28,800 --> 01:01:32,080
Speaker 1: move from you have no chance to suddenly your opponents

1171
01:01:32,080 --> 01:01:34,800
Speaker 1: are just throwing haymakers at you left and right, and

1172
01:01:34,880 --> 01:01:37,480
Speaker 1: oftentimes there's no reality to them at all. It's like

1173
01:01:37,520 --> 01:01:42,160
Speaker 1: a boxing match. They're losing and they're panicked. Yeah, they

1174
01:01:42,200 --> 01:01:45,600
Speaker 1: are associating me with people and entities I've never met

1175
01:01:45,640 --> 01:01:48,960
Speaker 1: and never heard of. Of course they are. They're just

1176
01:01:49,960 --> 01:01:54,280
Speaker 1: literally making stuff up. It's like they rolled out of

1177
01:01:54,280 --> 01:01:56,840
Speaker 1: bed in the morning and they went, well, I mean,

1178
01:01:57,240 --> 01:01:59,120
Speaker 1: I don't know, what do you want to say? They're

1179
01:01:59,160 --> 01:02:02,240
Speaker 1: just making it up. And the thing about it is

1180
01:02:02,240 --> 01:02:05,000
Speaker 1: is that it's all it's all a way to distract

1181
01:02:05,000 --> 01:02:07,720
Speaker 1: from their failed records. We know that she can't actually

1182
01:02:07,760 --> 01:02:11,760
Speaker 1: talk about what it feels like to live here. Homelessness, affordability,

1183
01:02:12,320 --> 01:02:16,240
Speaker 1: you know, our schools are just plummeting, you name it,

1184
01:02:16,520 --> 01:02:19,080
Speaker 1: like all the issues, all the kitchen table issues that

1185
01:02:19,120 --> 01:02:22,960
Speaker 1: affect people Datada, in my beautiful home state are just

1186
01:02:23,280 --> 01:02:26,360
Speaker 1: in the toilet right now because of Tina cotex leadership

1187
01:02:26,360 --> 01:02:29,640
Speaker 1: and Kate Brown's leadership together, and we find ourselves in

1188
01:02:29,640 --> 01:02:32,160
Speaker 1: this position where they can't talk about that, so they're

1189
01:02:32,200 --> 01:02:35,000
Speaker 1: just making stuff up about me. And I'm just trying

1190
01:02:35,040 --> 01:02:37,640
Speaker 1: to talk directly to Oregon voters and say, are you

1191
01:02:37,720 --> 01:02:40,280
Speaker 1: better off today than you were four years ago? The answers, no,

1192
01:02:41,000 --> 01:02:44,840
Speaker 1: vote for change. Join me. Let's get this done. We're

1193
01:02:44,880 --> 01:02:46,840
Speaker 1: talking to Christine Dreys in the next governor or the

1194
01:02:46,880 --> 01:02:49,480
Speaker 1: great state of Oregon. As long as all of you

1195
01:02:49,520 --> 01:02:53,400
Speaker 1: get your votes in Christine. When you look around, Buck

1196
01:02:53,440 --> 01:02:55,960
Speaker 1: and I have been talking about this. Tutor Dixon's a

1197
01:02:56,000 --> 01:02:58,680
Speaker 1: mom of four in Michigan. She's having a lot of

1198
01:02:58,720 --> 01:03:01,920
Speaker 1: success trying to take down Gretchen Whitmer. Heidigen Al is

1199
01:03:02,000 --> 01:03:05,400
Speaker 1: running in Colorado and she yet called a mad mom,

1200
01:03:05,720 --> 01:03:07,919
Speaker 1: and it seems like that has really, you know, sort

1201
01:03:07,920 --> 01:03:11,480
Speaker 1: of energized her campaign. Certainly, Tiffany Smiley up there in

1202
01:03:11,520 --> 01:03:14,160
Speaker 1: the Pacific Northwest with you in Washington, is having a

1203
01:03:14,160 --> 01:03:17,160
Speaker 1: lot of success running against Pattie Murray. Why do you

1204
01:03:17,200 --> 01:03:19,560
Speaker 1: think in the Wall Street Journal today there's a great

1205
01:03:19,680 --> 01:03:25,200
Speaker 1: article about how suburban women are overwhelmingly breaking for Republicans

1206
01:03:25,320 --> 01:03:28,040
Speaker 1: right now. Many of those suburban women obviously are moms.

1207
01:03:28,440 --> 01:03:32,360
Speaker 1: Why do you think that there's that national tide of women,

1208
01:03:32,840 --> 01:03:36,520
Speaker 1: moms in particular, who are finally saying we've had enough,

1209
01:03:36,560 --> 01:03:38,480
Speaker 1: Because I think that's a big impetus that you're getting

1210
01:03:38,480 --> 01:03:42,440
Speaker 1: in Oregon as well. Yeah, no, it absolutely is, and

1211
01:03:42,600 --> 01:03:44,760
Speaker 1: it really is just about our families and our kids,

1212
01:03:45,320 --> 01:03:50,040
Speaker 1: and Oregon in particular. Our schools were shut down longer

1213
01:03:50,080 --> 01:03:55,440
Speaker 1: than even California. Kids in Oregon were not getting an

1214
01:03:55,560 --> 01:03:59,480
Speaker 1: education for almost two years. Their school check ins would

1215
01:03:59,520 --> 01:04:04,600
Speaker 1: be a couple of hours a day inaggregate, so they'd

1216
01:04:04,600 --> 01:04:07,720
Speaker 1: spend fifteen minutes online with one teacher and then log out.

1217
01:04:07,760 --> 01:04:10,040
Speaker 1: They never have to show their screens, nobody ever has

1218
01:04:10,080 --> 01:04:12,320
Speaker 1: to see their faces, and they'd have one a week

1219
01:04:12,400 --> 01:04:15,120
Speaker 1: check on check in for their social and emotional health.

1220
01:04:15,560 --> 01:04:19,280
Speaker 1: It was a joke, and families knew it. Kids certainly

1221
01:04:19,360 --> 01:04:22,680
Speaker 1: knew it, and moms are standing up saying never again,

1222
01:04:23,120 --> 01:04:25,840
Speaker 1: never again. Like it's not safe in our streets here.

1223
01:04:26,400 --> 01:04:30,480
Speaker 1: Crime is skyrocketing in our state, and homelessness is everywhere.

1224
01:04:30,520 --> 01:04:32,160
Speaker 1: It's not safe for kids to go to the park.

1225
01:04:32,520 --> 01:04:34,600
Speaker 1: It's not safe for them to walk to schools. Like

1226
01:04:34,680 --> 01:04:36,960
Speaker 1: once you're at the point where you don't feel comfortable

1227
01:04:37,000 --> 01:04:38,640
Speaker 1: letting your kids play out in the front yard because

1228
01:04:38,680 --> 01:04:40,720
Speaker 1: there might be a homeless person that's gonna try to

1229
01:04:40,800 --> 01:04:45,080
Speaker 1: root through your trash like something's broken. And they are

1230
01:04:45,200 --> 01:04:48,000
Speaker 1: looking around saying, we need change, and we believe the

1231
01:04:48,000 --> 01:04:49,800
Speaker 1: only way to get this done is to vote Republican

1232
01:04:49,840 --> 01:04:52,160
Speaker 1: in the state of Oregon. And they're right. We're speaking

1233
01:04:52,240 --> 01:04:54,840
Speaker 1: right now to Christine Draisen. She is running for governor.

1234
01:04:54,920 --> 01:04:58,840
Speaker 1: Christine for Oregon dot com is their site. Those of

1235
01:04:58,880 --> 01:05:03,240
Speaker 1: you who can please consider helping out in this incredibly

1236
01:05:03,280 --> 01:05:05,200
Speaker 1: important victory. I think she's going to do a great job.

1237
01:05:05,280 --> 01:05:09,320
Speaker 1: Also side note, the Libs on MSNBC will, honestly, guys,

1238
01:05:09,360 --> 01:05:12,120
Speaker 1: they will be shattered. The snowflakes will be melted all

1239
01:05:12,120 --> 01:05:15,320
Speaker 1: over the liberal media if Oregon goes red at the

1240
01:05:15,360 --> 01:05:18,040
Speaker 1: governor's race. So for that alone, you should be very

1241
01:05:18,040 --> 01:05:20,960
Speaker 1: fired up about this. Everyone listening, But I did want

1242
01:05:20,960 --> 01:05:23,280
Speaker 1: to ask you, Christine, if you become and we believe

1243
01:05:23,280 --> 01:05:25,000
Speaker 1: you will be, but we don't want to get ahead

1244
01:05:25,000 --> 01:05:27,600
Speaker 1: of ourselves, but if you become the next governor of Oregon.

1245
01:05:27,680 --> 01:05:30,920
Speaker 1: You're talking about these challenges, these issues. COVID showed people

1246
01:05:30,960 --> 01:05:34,000
Speaker 1: that the governor really matters, that the state powers that

1247
01:05:34,000 --> 01:05:37,320
Speaker 1: a governor has can make a huge difference for better

1248
01:05:37,400 --> 01:05:39,440
Speaker 1: or for worse. Unfortunately, in places like New York it

1249
01:05:39,520 --> 01:05:43,400
Speaker 1: was for worse and in Oregon. What would you do though,

1250
01:05:43,440 --> 01:05:45,320
Speaker 1: What are some of the things that you know you

1251
01:05:45,360 --> 01:05:48,120
Speaker 1: could do if you have the governor's powers to make

1252
01:05:48,160 --> 01:05:52,560
Speaker 1: Oregonians lives just a little bit better, a little bit safer. Yeah,

1253
01:05:52,600 --> 01:05:55,720
Speaker 1: I am committed to addressing the home of crisis. It's

1254
01:05:55,720 --> 01:05:57,760
Speaker 1: the number one issue in our state and I look

1255
01:05:57,800 --> 01:05:59,840
Speaker 1: forward to look forward to hosting you guys when you

1256
01:06:00,000 --> 01:06:03,640
Speaker 1: come out next. But the reality for us living here

1257
01:06:03,760 --> 01:06:06,720
Speaker 1: in Oregon is that the homeless crisis is out of control.

1258
01:06:07,200 --> 01:06:09,680
Speaker 1: And so I will declare a homelessness state of emergency

1259
01:06:09,720 --> 01:06:12,200
Speaker 1: on day one. That's going to allow me as governor

1260
01:06:12,240 --> 01:06:14,560
Speaker 1: to take the reins of our response to homelessness and

1261
01:06:14,960 --> 01:06:18,960
Speaker 1: align resources and ensure that local governments aren't overwhelmed by

1262
01:06:19,000 --> 01:06:21,520
Speaker 1: these populations that have come into their communities and are

1263
01:06:21,560 --> 01:06:24,600
Speaker 1: just aren't enough resources to address it. So, as governor,

1264
01:06:24,680 --> 01:06:28,320
Speaker 1: declaring that homelessness state of emergency allows me to ensure

1265
01:06:28,360 --> 01:06:30,960
Speaker 1: that the state is engaged in that issue in a way,

1266
01:06:30,960 --> 01:06:33,959
Speaker 1: that there's real leadership from the top down, and that

1267
01:06:34,080 --> 01:06:36,400
Speaker 1: we are getting people off the streets. We have got

1268
01:06:36,520 --> 01:06:39,480
Speaker 1: to both provide compassion, get folks the help they need

1269
01:06:39,520 --> 01:06:43,360
Speaker 1: to get sober and stay sober, and also accountability if

1270
01:06:43,360 --> 01:06:46,520
Speaker 1: they refuse help, if they refuse assistance, if they refuse

1271
01:06:46,640 --> 01:06:49,680
Speaker 1: to go to the shelter, Okay, you can't stay here,

1272
01:06:50,120 --> 01:06:52,200
Speaker 1: and for too long, they haven't taken that approach when

1273
01:06:52,240 --> 01:06:55,120
Speaker 1: it comes to the homeless populations on our street. Instead,

1274
01:06:55,360 --> 01:06:58,240
Speaker 1: they looked around and they said, this is a housing crisis. Okay,

1275
01:06:58,280 --> 01:07:00,680
Speaker 1: we need more housing one hundred percent. And also that's

1276
01:07:00,720 --> 01:07:03,480
Speaker 1: not the crisis that the humanitarian crisis. And families know

1277
01:07:03,560 --> 01:07:07,320
Speaker 1: it because when they walk past our homeless populations, they

1278
01:07:07,360 --> 01:07:09,640
Speaker 1: know that the folks that are out there on their

1279
01:07:09,640 --> 01:07:13,480
Speaker 1: streets are facing addictions, they're facing challenges. Aren't just simply

1280
01:07:13,520 --> 01:07:15,439
Speaker 1: they don't have a place to live at night. So

1281
01:07:15,560 --> 01:07:18,000
Speaker 1: homelessness is number one. But we you know, I'm going

1282
01:07:18,040 --> 01:07:20,400
Speaker 1: to support police. I'm going to fully fund our state troopers.

1283
01:07:20,440 --> 01:07:22,960
Speaker 1: That means we're going to have a presence of law enforcement.

1284
01:07:23,240 --> 01:07:25,439
Speaker 1: So we haven't seen in years, and we desperately need

1285
01:07:25,760 --> 01:07:29,760
Speaker 1: and I'm going to restore graduation standards, graduation requirements in

1286
01:07:29,760 --> 01:07:33,280
Speaker 1: our state. Tina Cootech and Kate Brown abandoned our kids.

1287
01:07:33,360 --> 01:07:35,560
Speaker 1: They threw our kids under the bus during COVID. But

1288
01:07:35,640 --> 01:07:40,240
Speaker 1: even before that time, our outcomes for our class in

1289
01:07:40,240 --> 01:07:44,120
Speaker 1: our classrooms, our kids ability to hit proficiency in reading,

1290
01:07:44,320 --> 01:07:47,520
Speaker 1: math and science was always below the national average. Who

1291
01:07:47,520 --> 01:07:49,600
Speaker 1: are among the worst in the nation for how for

1292
01:07:49,720 --> 01:07:52,080
Speaker 1: our ability to actually graduate kids. So what do they do?

1293
01:07:52,440 --> 01:07:54,880
Speaker 1: They lowered the standards so that more kids could pass

1294
01:07:54,960 --> 01:07:57,360
Speaker 1: that bar. That's not serving our kiddos. So I'm going

1295
01:07:57,440 --> 01:08:00,280
Speaker 1: to restore those graduation requirements, and I'm going to sure

1296
01:08:00,280 --> 01:08:02,880
Speaker 1: that what we're focused on the classroom is not politics,

1297
01:08:02,920 --> 01:08:05,320
Speaker 1: but it really is reading, writing, and math. Like, let's

1298
01:08:05,360 --> 01:08:07,760
Speaker 1: get back to the basics and let's help our students succeed.

1299
01:08:08,160 --> 01:08:11,520
Speaker 1: So education, homelessness, public safety, and the last part of

1300
01:08:11,520 --> 01:08:14,800
Speaker 1: this has got to be affordability. Oregon is one of

1301
01:08:15,160 --> 01:08:18,080
Speaker 1: the least affordable places to live in the nation, in

1302
01:08:18,200 --> 01:08:20,920
Speaker 1: large part due to Kate Ron and Tina Cotech doubling

1303
01:08:20,920 --> 01:08:22,760
Speaker 1: the size of state government in the ten years that

1304
01:08:22,840 --> 01:08:26,400
Speaker 1: they've been in charge together. That has meant higher taxes.

1305
01:08:27,080 --> 01:08:29,519
Speaker 1: We're among one of the highest states in the nation

1306
01:08:29,560 --> 01:08:32,280
Speaker 1: for gas prices. It shouldn't be that way, and so

1307
01:08:32,360 --> 01:08:34,840
Speaker 1: I am going to suspend what we have here called

1308
01:08:34,840 --> 01:08:38,559
Speaker 1: our clean Fuels Program. It was built to suspend it

1309
01:08:38,640 --> 01:08:41,040
Speaker 1: if gas prices went through the roof, which they've done here.

1310
01:08:41,439 --> 01:08:44,640
Speaker 1: And I'm going to work to roll back rules and

1311
01:08:44,680 --> 01:08:47,360
Speaker 1: regulations are driving up costs and certainly will veto any

1312
01:08:47,360 --> 01:08:50,000
Speaker 1: tax measure that crosses my desk. We have got to

1313
01:08:50,000 --> 01:08:52,680
Speaker 1: get serious about making this an affordable place for Oregonians

1314
01:08:52,720 --> 01:08:55,200
Speaker 1: to live and raise your families. She is the next

1315
01:08:55,280 --> 01:08:57,800
Speaker 1: governor of the great State of Oregon. As Buck has

1343
01:10:16,680 --> 01:10:20,040
Speaker 1: in Bucks countdown to the election day podcast Intel For

1344
01:10:20,120 --> 01:10:24,080
Speaker 1: the informed voter. We bring in Behinds. He's North Carolina's

1345
01:10:24,120 --> 01:10:29,960
Speaker 1: thirteenth Congressional District Republican candidate. He is also a former

1346
01:10:30,160 --> 01:10:33,479
Speaker 1: college football player, among other things, meaning we overlap in

1347
01:10:33,560 --> 01:10:39,320
Speaker 1: a bunch of different interests. What's it like campaigning versus

1348
01:10:39,680 --> 01:10:43,240
Speaker 1: playing high level college football? Bo, how would you compare

1349
01:10:43,280 --> 01:10:46,479
Speaker 1: the two? Well, thanks for having me today, and I

1350
01:10:46,479 --> 01:10:48,840
Speaker 1: have to tell you know, I imagine the last three

1351
01:10:48,920 --> 01:10:51,720
Speaker 1: days of a campaign is very similar to being in

1352
01:10:51,800 --> 01:10:53,960
Speaker 1: fall camp, and that's what we've kind of likened it

1353
01:10:54,000 --> 01:10:56,599
Speaker 1: to here, you know, with our campaign team. But it's

1354
01:10:56,600 --> 01:10:58,320
Speaker 1: a grime for the last thirty days ris a lot

1355
01:10:58,320 --> 01:11:00,720
Speaker 1: of fun. You meet so many interesting people, you hear

1356
01:11:00,760 --> 01:11:02,960
Speaker 1: so many tremendous stories, and just being out on the

1357
01:11:02,960 --> 01:11:06,479
Speaker 1: ground talking with voters is tremendously rewarding. And that's something

1358
01:11:06,479 --> 01:11:08,320
Speaker 1: that we've really enjoyed doing here for the past really

1359
01:11:08,280 --> 01:11:09,960
Speaker 1: a year and a half, but even more so over

1360
01:11:10,000 --> 01:11:13,160
Speaker 1: the past thirty days. Though. What are the people that

1361
01:11:13,200 --> 01:11:15,320
Speaker 1: you're speaking to in the district that you want to

1362
01:11:15,320 --> 01:11:18,679
Speaker 1: be representing. What are they telling you that people across

1363
01:11:18,720 --> 01:11:22,040
Speaker 1: the country need to hear that they want you to address.

1364
01:11:22,120 --> 01:11:25,679
Speaker 1: I mean, what are their challenges and what are their hopes? Well,

1365
01:11:25,720 --> 01:11:28,720
Speaker 1: you know, I'll say it's economy. Economy, economy. People are

1366
01:11:28,840 --> 01:11:32,000
Speaker 1: hurting right now with inflation eight point three percent, that's

1367
01:11:32,000 --> 01:11:35,120
Speaker 1: the equivalent of one month's salary for the American people.

1368
01:11:35,160 --> 01:11:37,559
Speaker 1: What's unsustainable. We have to rein in you know, the

1369
01:11:37,600 --> 01:11:39,400
Speaker 1: price of goods, and you know people are hurting when

1370
01:11:39,400 --> 01:11:40,960
Speaker 1: they go to the gas pump, they're hurting when they

1371
01:11:40,960 --> 01:11:43,880
Speaker 1: go to the grocery store. Their everyday needs just cost more.

1372
01:11:43,880 --> 01:11:46,000
Speaker 1: And we have to get government spending under control, which

1373
01:11:46,080 --> 01:11:48,840
Speaker 1: leads to this rampant inflation. I've talked about the first

1374
01:11:48,840 --> 01:11:50,360
Speaker 1: thing we need to do in Congress is pass a

1375
01:11:50,400 --> 01:11:52,719
Speaker 1: balance budget. A moment we have to balance our checkbook,

1376
01:11:52,920 --> 01:11:55,040
Speaker 1: and my wife and ice household, and every other American

1377
01:11:55,080 --> 01:11:57,559
Speaker 1: does sue in social Congress, and this is just common

1378
01:11:57,600 --> 01:11:59,840
Speaker 1: sense stuff. We haven't done that since nineteen ninety five,

1379
01:12:00,000 --> 01:12:03,400
Speaker 1: New Gingrich Speaker. But I'm competent with the Republican majority

1380
01:12:03,400 --> 01:12:05,439
Speaker 1: and Conservative leadership will be able to do something of

1381
01:12:05,439 --> 01:12:08,360
Speaker 1: that nature to hopefully get government spending under control when

1382
01:12:08,439 --> 01:12:12,280
Speaker 1: raining this outrageous inflation bo As we're sitting here five

1383
01:12:12,360 --> 01:12:14,760
Speaker 1: days out, you get the sense when you're running in

1384
01:12:14,760 --> 01:12:18,320
Speaker 1: political campaigns where the momentum is much like again from

1385
01:12:18,360 --> 01:12:20,680
Speaker 1: your athletic background. You can tell how a game is

1386
01:12:20,720 --> 01:12:23,600
Speaker 1: going sometimes based on how the body language is on

1387
01:12:23,640 --> 01:12:26,360
Speaker 1: the field where people are jumping around. Do you get

1388
01:12:26,400 --> 01:12:28,920
Speaker 1: the sense that in North Carolina, in your district and

1389
01:12:29,040 --> 01:12:32,679
Speaker 1: also in the state, that we are seeing a Republican surge,

1390
01:12:32,760 --> 01:12:36,800
Speaker 1: that the Republican red wave is beginning to crest five

1391
01:12:36,880 --> 01:12:40,920
Speaker 1: days out? It's very palpable. I mean you hear every

1392
01:12:40,960 --> 01:12:42,920
Speaker 1: single day when you're talking to voters. I've been working

1393
01:12:43,200 --> 01:12:46,320
Speaker 1: early voting locations in the morning, and you see Republicans

1394
01:12:46,360 --> 01:12:48,920
Speaker 1: showing up. They're very enthusiastic to vote, and we're seeing

1395
01:12:48,960 --> 01:12:51,559
Speaker 1: the results and early voting members already coming in. But

1396
01:12:51,840 --> 01:12:53,240
Speaker 1: you know the big surge is going to be on

1397
01:12:53,280 --> 01:12:54,960
Speaker 1: election day. And I'll say this, this is one of

1398
01:12:55,040 --> 01:12:57,960
Speaker 1: the most competitive Republican winning suits in the country. I

1399
01:12:57,960 --> 01:13:00,280
Speaker 1: think the red wave will start right here in North

1400
01:13:00,280 --> 01:13:03,280
Speaker 1: Carolina's thirteenth district and election nights, So we need everyone

1401
01:13:03,320 --> 01:13:05,320
Speaker 1: to get out and vote here. Your voice matters, your

1402
01:13:05,400 --> 01:13:08,000
Speaker 1: vote matters, and hopefully we can we can leave the title.

1403
01:13:08,600 --> 01:13:11,360
Speaker 1: We're speaking of Bohines. He's running in North Carolina's thirteenth

1404
01:13:11,360 --> 01:13:15,200
Speaker 1: congressional district. What are some of the differences between you

1405
01:13:15,240 --> 01:13:19,639
Speaker 1: and your opponent that people who live in your district,

1406
01:13:19,880 --> 01:13:23,439
Speaker 1: people who are in the thirteenth what do they need

1407
01:13:23,479 --> 01:13:26,240
Speaker 1: to know. Well, you know, I grew up in a

1408
01:13:26,280 --> 01:13:29,640
Speaker 1: family of small business centers, or we weren't involved in

1409
01:13:29,640 --> 01:13:31,720
Speaker 1: the political process for a long time. We're not some

1410
01:13:31,800 --> 01:13:34,000
Speaker 1: part of some political dynasty. We were just fed up

1411
01:13:34,080 --> 01:13:35,800
Speaker 1: what we saw doing on in our country and felt

1412
01:13:35,800 --> 01:13:38,200
Speaker 1: like we need to stand up and fight back against

1413
01:13:38,200 --> 01:13:40,200
Speaker 1: the radical left that's shifted away in our rights for

1414
01:13:40,880 --> 01:13:43,320
Speaker 1: gage at the time. You know, my opponents from California

1415
01:13:43,640 --> 01:13:46,160
Speaker 1: is a California Democrat that moved to North Carolina. He's

1416
01:13:46,160 --> 01:13:49,479
Speaker 1: a defense attorney. He's run for office in California, lost

1417
01:13:49,520 --> 01:13:51,639
Speaker 1: out there, decided to run here in North Carolina where

1418
01:13:51,640 --> 01:13:53,680
Speaker 1: he thought he might have a better chance. But you know,

1419
01:13:53,720 --> 01:13:56,840
Speaker 1: I represent North Carolina values here. I represent blue collar workers.

1420
01:13:57,000 --> 01:13:59,360
Speaker 1: We represent hard work people that just you know, want

1421
01:13:59,360 --> 01:14:01,160
Speaker 1: to live their lives and keep government out of it.

1422
01:14:01,200 --> 01:14:03,280
Speaker 1: And that's what we're fighting for. We're fighting for parental

1423
01:14:03,360 --> 01:14:05,680
Speaker 1: rights here to make sure parents can decide what their

1424
01:14:05,720 --> 01:14:08,400
Speaker 1: children are taught and at what age their taught certain material.

1425
01:14:08,439 --> 01:14:11,040
Speaker 1: We're fighting to reduce crime, which has been rampant you

1426
01:14:11,200 --> 01:14:13,120
Speaker 1: not only here in our community, but across the country.

1427
01:14:13,160 --> 01:14:16,040
Speaker 1: And to see this immense overflow of illegal buyers coming

1428
01:14:16,080 --> 01:14:18,800
Speaker 1: to our country, bringing with them drugs and fitting all

1429
01:14:18,840 --> 01:14:20,760
Speaker 1: which is leading to destruction in our community as to

1430
01:14:20,760 --> 01:14:22,679
Speaker 1: the local level, and you know, we're fighting to stop

1431
01:14:22,720 --> 01:14:25,600
Speaker 1: that stuff, but most importantly, we're fighting to create opportunity

1432
01:14:25,640 --> 01:14:28,240
Speaker 1: for people. And that's something we talk about all the time.

1433
01:14:28,280 --> 01:14:30,000
Speaker 1: And that's something we fought for in our family with

1434
01:14:30,040 --> 01:14:32,200
Speaker 1: our small business. And we look forward to leaving the charge,

1435
01:14:32,200 --> 01:14:34,679
Speaker 1: and not here in North Carolina. But what can people

1436
01:14:34,760 --> 01:14:38,000
Speaker 1: listening to us right now do to ensure that you

1437
01:14:38,040 --> 01:14:41,759
Speaker 1: are elected and that, as you said, North Carolina, certainly

1438
01:14:41,800 --> 01:14:45,840
Speaker 1: with polls closing relatively early on Tuesday Election night, can

1439
01:14:46,000 --> 01:14:50,040
Speaker 1: begin to lead that red surge. We'll make sure you

1440
01:14:50,080 --> 01:14:52,479
Speaker 1: get out and vote, whether it's earlier weather Ton election day,

1441
01:14:52,560 --> 01:14:54,320
Speaker 1: make sure you show up at the polls, make sure

1442
01:14:54,360 --> 01:14:56,439
Speaker 1: that your voice has heard, and grab your friends and

1443
01:14:56,479 --> 01:14:58,400
Speaker 1: family and bring them along with you. We need everyone

1444
01:14:58,439 --> 01:15:00,679
Speaker 1: to show up and we need to take this country

1445
01:15:00,680 --> 01:15:03,839
Speaker 1: back by storm. And we have to. And what's your website.

1446
01:15:05,439 --> 01:15:08,559
Speaker 1: It's Bow four NC dot com. That's bow the number

01:15:15,520 --> 01:15:17,320
Speaker 1: How old are you, by the way, I just there's

1450
01:15:17,320 --> 01:15:19,360
Speaker 1: a lot of people out there listening in their sixties

1451
01:15:19,360 --> 01:15:22,160
Speaker 1: and seventies who are terrified of what the future of

1452
01:15:22,200 --> 01:15:24,759
Speaker 1: America is going to look like. Buck and I aren't

1453
01:15:24,760 --> 01:15:29,040
Speaker 1: that old, but you're a lot younger than Yeah, how

1454
01:15:29,080 --> 01:15:33,519
Speaker 1: old are you both? I'm twenty seven years old. Twenty

1455
01:15:33,600 --> 01:15:36,639
Speaker 1: seven years old. So we had Caroline leavitt On who's

1456
01:15:36,640 --> 01:15:38,800
Speaker 1: twenty five, I believe. So I know for a lot

1457
01:15:38,800 --> 01:15:41,479
Speaker 1: of people out there who are listening, Uh, that is

1458
01:15:41,600 --> 01:15:44,960
Speaker 1: just gratifying to hear because there are so many people

1459
01:15:44,960 --> 01:15:46,880
Speaker 1: out there terrified of what the country is going to

1460
01:15:46,960 --> 01:15:49,719
Speaker 1: be like in twenty years. Twenty years, Bohines only gonna

1461
01:15:49,720 --> 01:15:53,519
Speaker 1: be forty seven. That's that's that's still relatively I like

1462
01:15:53,640 --> 01:15:57,479
Speaker 1: to think young. Well, we're hoping to lead the charge

1463
01:15:57,479 --> 01:15:59,880
Speaker 1: for the youth movement, especially with conservatives we had up

1464
01:16:00,040 --> 01:16:01,920
Speaker 1: on our base and make sure we show people that

1465
01:16:02,120 --> 01:16:03,880
Speaker 1: you know, we're fighting for everyone in this country, of

1466
01:16:03,920 --> 01:16:06,920
Speaker 1: all ages, of every background, and like we said, you know,

1467
01:16:06,960 --> 01:16:08,960
Speaker 1: the Republican Party should be the party of diverse, and

1468
01:16:09,000 --> 01:16:10,920
Speaker 1: it should be the party that it stands up for

1469
01:16:11,000 --> 01:16:12,800
Speaker 1: what our country was built on. I think that's the

1470
01:16:12,800 --> 01:16:14,640
Speaker 1: direction that we're moving in. I think it'll benefit the

1471
01:16:14,680 --> 01:16:17,719
Speaker 1: American people long term. Bohines, We're gonna be watching your

1472
01:16:17,960 --> 01:16:21,120
Speaker 1: race closely as a bellweather on election night, So bringing

1475
01:16:27,280 --> 01:16:31,520
Speaker 1: to Clay in Bucks Countdown to Election Day podcast Candidates

1476
01:16:31,720 --> 01:16:34,640
Speaker 1: and Common Sense, JD Vance, who's going to be the

1477
01:16:34,640 --> 01:16:38,840
Speaker 1: next Senator from the great state of Ohio and JD.

1478
01:16:39,000 --> 01:16:41,240
Speaker 1: I know you've had this date five days from now

1479
01:16:41,320 --> 01:16:44,000
Speaker 1: on a calendar, likely in the campaign offices, on your

1480
01:16:44,000 --> 01:16:47,320
Speaker 1: phone calendar for a long time as you come down

1481
01:16:47,360 --> 01:16:52,240
Speaker 1: the stretch run. Is it fun? Is it exhilarating? Is

1482
01:16:52,280 --> 01:16:55,599
Speaker 1: it sort of unbelievable that it's finally here? What does

1483
01:16:55,600 --> 01:16:58,520
Speaker 1: it feel like for you to be on the precipice

1484
01:16:58,520 --> 01:17:01,920
Speaker 1: of election night? Yeah, it's it's sort of all those

1485
01:17:01,920 --> 01:17:04,040
Speaker 1: things at once, and we're you know, we're going to

1486
01:17:04,120 --> 01:17:06,920
Speaker 1: make statewide tour right now, and a lot of fun,

1487
01:17:07,040 --> 01:17:09,759
Speaker 1: great energy out there. Yeah, I will say it still

1488
01:17:09,840 --> 01:17:14,080
Speaker 1: doesn't quite feel like it's close to being over. You know,

1489
01:17:14,200 --> 01:17:17,080
Speaker 1: I had this this similar feeling during the primary, where

1490
01:17:17,520 --> 01:17:20,400
Speaker 1: until the votes really start being tabulated, it's hard to

1491
01:17:20,400 --> 01:17:23,240
Speaker 1: believe you've reached the endpoint. But man, we're having a

1492
01:17:23,240 --> 01:17:26,160
Speaker 1: great time and I'm definitely enjoying myself. Did you have

1493
01:17:26,200 --> 01:17:30,120
Speaker 1: a town hall recently? JD just give folks some of

1494
01:17:30,120 --> 01:17:34,920
Speaker 1: the some of the after action report on that one. Yeah,

1495
01:17:34,960 --> 01:17:36,920
Speaker 1: we did so. So we were originally supposed to do

1496
01:17:36,960 --> 01:17:40,360
Speaker 1: a Fox News debate Tim Ryan. I guess you know,

1497
01:17:40,400 --> 01:17:42,639
Speaker 1: after the second debate that we did, decided to pull

1498
01:17:42,680 --> 01:17:44,559
Speaker 1: out of the debate and just wanted to do a

1499
01:17:44,600 --> 01:17:47,679
Speaker 1: town hall, and so we did twenty minutes with Tim Ryan,

1500
01:17:48,400 --> 01:17:50,880
Speaker 1: Brett Baron, Martha McCallum, and then twenty minutes with me,

1501
01:17:51,400 --> 01:17:53,679
Speaker 1: and you know, it's I thought it was a very

1502
01:17:53,880 --> 01:17:57,120
Speaker 1: very fun. The crowd was great, and you know, Tim

1503
01:17:57,160 --> 01:18:00,200
Speaker 1: had to face some tough questions from the crowd out

1504
01:18:00,200 --> 01:18:02,800
Speaker 1: his record and how it's inconsistent with this this sort

1505
01:18:02,800 --> 01:18:06,400
Speaker 1: of moderate cloak that he's putting on, and I thought

1506
01:18:06,400 --> 01:18:08,240
Speaker 1: it very well for us. But you know the thing

1507
01:18:08,320 --> 01:18:10,680
Speaker 1: is when you're when you're ahead in a race, and

1508
01:18:10,720 --> 01:18:13,200
Speaker 1: I do think that we're ahead the main thing that

1509
01:18:13,240 --> 01:18:14,960
Speaker 1: you want to do is not to fumble the football.

1510
01:18:15,000 --> 01:18:17,600
Speaker 1: And so you know, the candidate version of fumbling the

1511
01:18:17,600 --> 01:18:20,000
Speaker 1: football is to make a big mistake and say something

1512
01:18:20,080 --> 01:18:22,559
Speaker 1: stupid that they can clip and put into a TV ad.

1513
01:18:22,920 --> 01:18:24,960
Speaker 1: And then I think the voter version of fumbling the

1514
01:18:24,960 --> 01:18:26,680
Speaker 1: football is not getting out there and not getting your

1515
01:18:26,680 --> 01:18:28,720
Speaker 1: friends and family to vote. So that's kind of what

1516
01:18:28,720 --> 01:18:31,040
Speaker 1: we're focused on these final five days, is just making

1517
01:18:31,040 --> 01:18:34,160
Speaker 1: sure people get to the polls and making sure that

1518
01:18:34,240 --> 01:18:35,800
Speaker 1: you know, I don't I don't put my foot in

1519
01:18:35,840 --> 01:18:38,479
Speaker 1: my mouth in a way that's going to snatch snatch

1520
01:18:38,560 --> 01:18:40,680
Speaker 1: defeat from the and JD just to be clear, I mean,

1521
01:18:40,720 --> 01:18:42,280
Speaker 1: I know that you're ahead of the polls right now,

1522
01:18:42,320 --> 01:18:44,920
Speaker 1: but Clay and I insist on you have to trounce

1523
01:18:44,960 --> 01:18:47,519
Speaker 1: your opponent. It's not enough to just win. So we

1524
01:18:47,560 --> 01:18:49,920
Speaker 1: want everyone out there to get out YEA and vote

1525
01:18:49,920 --> 01:18:53,760
Speaker 1: by a lot to send a message. Absolutely, that's what

1526
01:18:53,800 --> 01:18:55,280
Speaker 1: I want to and I want to send a message

1527
01:18:55,320 --> 01:18:56,640
Speaker 1: to the media. I want to send a message to

1528
01:18:56,720 --> 01:19:00,519
Speaker 1: Joe Biden and look if the difference between a Republican

1529
01:19:00,560 --> 01:19:03,960
Speaker 1: Senate with fifty one senators and a Republican Senate with

1530
01:19:04,080 --> 01:19:06,599
Speaker 1: fifty four or fifty five senators where these are guys

1531
01:19:06,600 --> 01:19:10,920
Speaker 1: just gotta still lacking. Is way different because Joe is

1532
01:19:11,800 --> 01:19:16,040
Speaker 1: on inner policy or immigration stuff. If we actually give

1533
01:19:16,040 --> 01:19:18,120
Speaker 1: these guys to beat down, that they deserve. But that

1534
01:19:18,160 --> 01:19:21,040
Speaker 1: does require every single person to get out there and

1535
01:19:21,120 --> 01:19:23,799
Speaker 1: vote all across the country. But obviously I'm most focused

1536
01:19:23,800 --> 01:19:26,800
Speaker 1: on Ohio. I know you're most focused on Ohio. You

1537
01:19:26,840 --> 01:19:30,200
Speaker 1: mentioned what the majority might look like. How much attention

1538
01:19:30,280 --> 01:19:33,120
Speaker 1: are you paying to the overall potential for a red

1539
01:19:33,120 --> 01:19:36,240
Speaker 1: wave something that can carry people in New Hampshire, in

1540
01:19:36,280 --> 01:19:41,320
Speaker 1: Pennsylvania and Wisconsin, obviously, North Carolina, Georgia, Nevada, Arizona, all

1541
01:19:41,360 --> 01:19:44,360
Speaker 1: the battlegrounds out there. How much evidence of that are

1542
01:19:44,400 --> 01:19:48,760
Speaker 1: you seeing of a nationalized overall red wave that is

1543
01:19:48,800 --> 01:19:54,320
Speaker 1: likely to carry people everywhere, no matter what state you're in. Yeah, look, man,

1544
01:19:54,360 --> 01:19:57,400
Speaker 1: I obviously you know certainly focused on Ohio. That we

1545
01:19:57,479 --> 01:20:01,000
Speaker 1: did just send you some money from our campaign to

1546
01:20:01,120 --> 01:20:03,120
Speaker 1: Don Boldwick and New Hampshire because I think he's coming

1547
01:20:03,120 --> 01:20:05,519
Speaker 1: on strong and I think he'd be a great senator

1548
01:20:05,920 --> 01:20:09,080
Speaker 1: for those in New Hampshire. But but just from the

1549
01:20:09,160 --> 01:20:11,360
Speaker 1: inside of a campaign, you know, obviously you talked to

1550
01:20:11,800 --> 01:20:14,000
Speaker 1: you talk to pollsters, and you talk to consultants, and

1551
01:20:14,120 --> 01:20:15,720
Speaker 1: some of them are just on your race, but some

1552
01:20:15,760 --> 01:20:19,000
Speaker 1: of them are pulling and working on races across the country.

1553
01:20:19,320 --> 01:20:22,920
Speaker 1: I would say three months ago people were a little

1554
01:20:22,920 --> 01:20:25,040
Speaker 1: bit worried that things weren't going well, but they thought

1555
01:20:25,040 --> 01:20:27,280
Speaker 1: we would still have a good November. About a month

1556
01:20:27,320 --> 01:20:29,160
Speaker 1: and a half ago, it felt like things were starting

1557
01:20:29,160 --> 01:20:31,840
Speaker 1: to turn in our favor, and in a last week

1558
01:20:32,200 --> 01:20:35,960
Speaker 1: it started to become a little giddy. And I will

1559
01:20:36,000 --> 01:20:39,080
Speaker 1: say not just our race, but races all across the country.

1560
01:20:39,120 --> 01:20:42,600
Speaker 1: There's this sense that we're either going to have a

1561
01:20:42,640 --> 01:20:46,519
Speaker 1: great night or like a historic night. And you know,

1562
01:20:46,560 --> 01:20:49,920
Speaker 1: either one of those is wonderful. But there is a

1563
01:20:49,960 --> 01:20:52,559
Speaker 1: real sense, man, that this could really really kip in

1564
01:20:52,600 --> 01:20:55,800
Speaker 1: our favor like nineteen ninety four twenty fourteen style. I

1565
01:20:55,800 --> 01:20:58,360
Speaker 1: certainly hope so, because the Democrats do not deserve to

1566
01:20:58,360 --> 01:21:01,200
Speaker 1: get a second shot at governing. Yeah, there's there's no doubt,

1567
01:21:01,200 --> 01:21:03,200
Speaker 1: and Buck and I certainly feel that as we talk

1568
01:21:03,240 --> 01:21:05,360
Speaker 1: to people all over the nation every day. I just

1569
01:21:05,360 --> 01:21:08,599
Speaker 1: want to follow back up with what you said, General Balduck.

1570
01:21:08,640 --> 01:21:11,519
Speaker 1: We had him on earlier this week. I believe is

1571
01:21:11,560 --> 01:21:14,240
Speaker 1: making a real run and may now be in the

1572
01:21:14,320 --> 01:21:16,400
Speaker 1: lead according to the two most recent polls that I've

1573
01:21:16,439 --> 01:21:19,040
Speaker 1: seen out in New Hampshire. You actually, as a part

1574
01:21:19,080 --> 01:21:22,280
Speaker 1: of your campaign, are now supporting him, hoping that he'll

1575
01:21:22,280 --> 01:21:24,640
Speaker 1: be a colleague of yours come January. Is is that

1576
01:21:24,680 --> 01:21:27,960
Speaker 1: what you were telling us? Yeah, that's exactly right, you know.

1577
01:21:28,000 --> 01:21:31,080
Speaker 1: So obviously some of the campaign resources we raise, most

1578
01:21:31,120 --> 01:21:33,360
Speaker 1: of it actually can only go to our campaign, but

1579
01:21:33,400 --> 01:21:35,840
Speaker 1: then some of it actually can't go to our TV

1580
01:21:35,920 --> 01:21:39,080
Speaker 1: advertising at all. It goes into a committee that you

1581
01:21:39,120 --> 01:21:41,240
Speaker 1: really can only spend on other people. And we don't

1582
01:21:41,280 --> 01:21:43,160
Speaker 1: have a ton of those resources, but we have enough

1583
01:21:43,160 --> 01:21:45,160
Speaker 1: to help a few candidates out, and so we've definitely

1584
01:21:45,640 --> 01:21:48,080
Speaker 1: been trying to pick some good races where we think

1585
01:21:48,320 --> 01:21:51,120
Speaker 1: some money could be helpful. Obviously, if folks want to

1586
01:21:51,120 --> 01:21:53,960
Speaker 1: support us directly, jd vance dot com is the place

1587
01:21:54,040 --> 01:21:56,120
Speaker 1: to do it. And I will say, look, I feel

1588
01:21:56,160 --> 01:21:58,040
Speaker 1: good about our race, but we really can't let our

1589
01:21:58,040 --> 01:22:01,439
Speaker 1: foot off the gas here and those all important un

1590
01:22:01,439 --> 01:22:05,080
Speaker 1: decided voters who could decide this election, especially if it

1591
01:22:05,120 --> 01:22:09,040
Speaker 1: gets tight down the stretch here, those voters really do

1592
01:22:09,120 --> 01:22:11,439
Speaker 1: respond to TV advertising. So I'd encourage people to help

1593
01:22:11,520 --> 01:22:14,000
Speaker 1: us out and help everybody else out as well. How

1594
01:22:14,080 --> 01:22:18,799
Speaker 1: much money JD have the coastal elites thrown to your opponent.

1595
01:22:18,840 --> 01:22:20,720
Speaker 1: I mean, I've mentioned this a few times on the

1596
01:22:20,720 --> 01:22:23,799
Speaker 1: show because it was so jaw dropping. Clay pulled together

1597
01:22:23,840 --> 01:22:26,919
Speaker 1: the data earlier in the week on the Stacey Abrams

1598
01:22:26,920 --> 01:22:32,040
Speaker 1: and Betto O'Rourke gubernatorial races, which are going to be

1599
01:22:32,040 --> 01:22:35,040
Speaker 1: both lost by probably double digits. We're close to double

1600
01:22:35,040 --> 01:22:37,759
Speaker 1: digits in both cases. One hundred and fifty million dollars

1601
01:22:37,840 --> 01:22:39,880
Speaker 1: spent and a ton of that money coming from New

1602
01:22:39,960 --> 01:22:43,000
Speaker 1: York in California because Santa Monica should pick the governor

1603
01:22:43,040 --> 01:22:47,760
Speaker 1: of Georgia. Obviously. What's it been like in your state? Yeah,

1604
01:22:47,800 --> 01:22:51,000
Speaker 1: So my understanding is that Tim Ryan, my Democrat opponent,

1605
01:22:51,280 --> 01:22:54,800
Speaker 1: and John Sederman, of course, the guy in Pennsylvania, very

1606
01:22:54,800 --> 01:22:59,880
Speaker 1: well spoken senator Senate candidate in Pennsylvania. They're the two

1607
01:23:00,280 --> 01:23:04,639
Speaker 1: best fundraisers in the entire National Democratic Party right now.

1608
01:23:04,680 --> 01:23:06,559
Speaker 1: So I think if Tim Ryan by the end of

1609
01:23:06,560 --> 01:23:09,800
Speaker 1: this race, I think he's race probably sixty plus, they'll

1610
01:23:09,840 --> 01:23:13,920
Speaker 1: probably hit well over seventy by Tuesday. And again, all

1611
01:23:13,960 --> 01:23:16,559
Speaker 1: of that has gone into TV advertising where he pretends

1612
01:23:16,560 --> 01:23:18,680
Speaker 1: to be somebody that he's not, you know. Says that

1613
01:23:18,720 --> 01:23:21,320
Speaker 1: he supports the police even though he voted to strip

1614
01:23:21,360 --> 01:23:23,800
Speaker 1: them of their legal protections, even though he voted a

1615
01:23:23,840 --> 01:23:26,559
Speaker 1: band gas powered cars and wants to end fracking. Says

1616
01:23:26,560 --> 01:23:29,200
Speaker 1: that he's pro energy independence and that's why the money

1617
01:23:29,200 --> 01:23:31,120
Speaker 1: really does matter. I mean, I never got this until

1618
01:23:31,120 --> 01:23:34,360
Speaker 1: I was a candidate, but those all important undecided voters.

1619
01:23:34,360 --> 01:23:36,400
Speaker 1: That's one of the ways you reach them. Certainly the

1620
01:23:36,479 --> 01:23:39,680
Speaker 1: media isn't helping us out, but those advertisements from the

1621
01:23:39,680 --> 01:23:42,360
Speaker 1: Democrats have been effective. And one of the reasons why

1622
01:23:42,360 --> 01:23:44,599
Speaker 1: I feel so good about our race now is we've

1623
01:23:44,600 --> 01:23:47,880
Speaker 1: really beaten that stuff back in the last couple of months. JD.

1624
01:23:47,960 --> 01:23:50,080
Speaker 1: Do you watch all the negative ads, Like do you

1625
01:23:50,120 --> 01:23:53,360
Speaker 1: sit on your campaign bus or sitting campaign headquarters between

1626
01:23:53,400 --> 01:23:57,160
Speaker 1: meetings and events and actually watch everything they say about

1627
01:23:57,160 --> 01:24:00,519
Speaker 1: you or not? I'm just curious. I don't know the answer. No,

1628
01:24:00,640 --> 01:24:03,479
Speaker 1: I'm not a psychopath, so I try not to see

1629
01:24:03,560 --> 01:24:07,360
Speaker 1: and watch and read every negative thing they say about me. Man,

1630
01:24:07,479 --> 01:24:09,719
Speaker 1: I think you would go crazy if you just solved

1631
01:24:09,840 --> 01:24:12,639
Speaker 1: everything negative. I mean sometimes, like I'm a big sports guy,

1632
01:24:12,760 --> 01:24:16,679
Speaker 1: especially college football, and so you know, during a Buckeyes game.

1633
01:24:16,720 --> 01:24:18,760
Speaker 1: You'll see a negative ad come on about you, and

1634
01:24:19,040 --> 01:24:20,600
Speaker 1: it's kind of funny when you're hanging out with your

1635
01:24:20,640 --> 01:24:23,080
Speaker 1: buddies and they're like, oh, there you are, Jadi. There's

1636
01:24:23,080 --> 01:24:25,840
Speaker 1: your fat head on TV and getting attacked. But Jad,

1637
01:24:26,040 --> 01:24:27,800
Speaker 1: what's your site? Because we got we got to get

1638
01:24:27,800 --> 01:24:29,639
Speaker 1: pedal to the metal here and we got fifteen seconds.

1639
01:24:29,680 --> 01:24:32,800
Speaker 1: Where do people go? Man? Yeah? Jadvads dot com. Thanks guys,

1640
01:24:32,800 --> 01:24:35,479
Speaker 1: I appreciate it. You are listening to Clay in Bucks

1641
01:24:35,600 --> 01:24:40,080
Speaker 1: Countdown to Election Day podcast. We got now doctor Oz

1642
01:24:40,200 --> 01:24:42,720
Speaker 1: hanging out with us, and we appreciate him making the

1643
01:24:42,760 --> 01:24:47,760
Speaker 1: time given how competitive this Senate race is. But doctor Oz,

1644
01:24:47,760 --> 01:24:50,080
Speaker 1: Buck and I were two of the first people that

1645
01:24:50,240 --> 01:24:53,760
Speaker 1: said doctor Oz is going to win this race. You

1646
01:24:53,800 --> 01:24:56,639
Speaker 1: are going to win this race. Congrats on your performance

1647
01:24:56,680 --> 01:24:59,559
Speaker 1: in the debate. What is the absolute latest on the

1648
01:24:59,600 --> 01:25:03,880
Speaker 1: ground from your perspective one week out? Well, we've got momentum,

1649
01:25:03,880 --> 01:25:06,840
Speaker 1: which is the single most important asset in politics because

1650
01:25:06,880 --> 01:25:09,360
Speaker 1: you just can't manufacture it. It It happens because you're at

1651
01:25:09,360 --> 01:25:11,839
Speaker 1: the right place, at the right time, with the right message.

1652
01:25:12,160 --> 01:25:15,400
Speaker 1: I want to explicitly reinforce what you just said. You

1653
01:25:15,479 --> 01:25:18,439
Speaker 1: got the first you got on board early on. You

1654
01:25:18,479 --> 01:25:21,520
Speaker 1: said it's got something that could actually be helpful to Pennsylvania,

1655
01:25:21,560 --> 01:25:24,439
Speaker 1: and you did it for the right reasons, I think,

1656
01:25:24,600 --> 01:25:27,160
Speaker 1: and I've talked to each of you separately, but I

1657
01:25:27,200 --> 01:25:29,760
Speaker 1: had the kitchen tabled issues always in my focus, like

1658
01:25:29,800 --> 01:25:32,040
Speaker 1: surgeons always do. We focus on the stuff that matters

1659
01:25:32,040 --> 01:25:34,960
Speaker 1: the most, so the economy and issues around crime and

1660
01:25:35,240 --> 01:25:36,880
Speaker 1: the fact that tons of Vania is a border state

1661
01:25:36,920 --> 01:25:39,280
Speaker 1: now with all the fentail pouring in here. Those three

1662
01:25:39,320 --> 01:25:41,880
Speaker 1: issues were the ones that I focused on. I never

1663
01:25:41,920 --> 01:25:44,799
Speaker 1: took my eyes off them. John Federman talking about everything

1664
01:25:45,000 --> 01:25:47,479
Speaker 1: but those three issues because he was weak on them,

1665
01:25:47,680 --> 01:25:49,880
Speaker 1: and as you saw him the debate last week, he

1666
01:25:50,160 --> 01:25:53,280
Speaker 1: has extreme positions that he actually cannot defend. You asked

1667
01:25:53,320 --> 01:25:56,160
Speaker 1: the simplest questions around, For example, why would you take

1668
01:25:56,200 --> 01:25:59,719
Speaker 1: such a strong stance against fracking, insulting people in the industry,

1669
01:26:00,120 --> 01:26:02,799
Speaker 1: going to stand on Pennsylvania saying you've never been supportive

1670
01:26:02,800 --> 01:26:03,800
Speaker 1: of it, and then all of a sudden, in the

1671
01:26:03,880 --> 01:26:06,439
Speaker 1: last month, you're pretending you like it, even though people

1672
01:26:06,439 --> 01:26:08,360
Speaker 1: in the energy industry are scared of you. And that's

1673
01:26:08,400 --> 01:26:11,160
Speaker 1: a major hit on the economy of Pennsylvania. Eighty billion

1674
01:26:11,200 --> 01:26:14,280
Speaker 1: dollars plus, I'll revenue and you can't defend it. Why

1675
01:26:14,320 --> 01:26:17,439
Speaker 1: do you always protect the murderers over the victims and

1676
01:26:17,479 --> 01:26:19,720
Speaker 1: the innocent doesn't have a defense. Why did you try

1677
01:26:19,720 --> 01:26:23,519
Speaker 1: to raise taxes? In fact, roughly fifty percent tax increase

1678
01:26:23,560 --> 01:26:25,320
Speaker 1: he tried to get in Pennsylvania, yet he didn't pay

1679
01:26:25,320 --> 01:26:28,120
Speaker 1: his own taxes sixty seven times. But I always said

1680
01:26:28,479 --> 01:26:30,919
Speaker 1: that if he's the person who will bring more extreme

1681
01:26:30,960 --> 01:26:33,519
Speaker 1: ideas to Washington, which is part of the reason Washington

1682
01:26:33,520 --> 01:26:36,519
Speaker 1: gets it wrong, I'll bring balance to Washington. I'll make

1683
01:26:36,560 --> 01:26:39,400
Speaker 1: sure that the partisan bickering is not the dominant theme.

1684
01:26:39,439 --> 01:26:43,839
Speaker 1: But actually we deal with the problems facing Pennsylvania voters. So, Doctorles,

1685
01:26:43,840 --> 01:26:46,639
Speaker 1: I always think it's so interesting that in the medical field,

1686
01:26:46,720 --> 01:26:51,000
Speaker 1: overwhelmingly surgeons are the most politically conservative, and it is

1687
01:26:51,080 --> 01:26:53,880
Speaker 1: psychiatrists who are bringing up the rear as the most

1688
01:26:53,960 --> 01:26:57,000
Speaker 1: left wing. All the data shows that. I wanted to

1689
01:26:57,000 --> 01:26:59,960
Speaker 1: ask you, though, what it's looking like on the ground

1690
01:27:00,040 --> 01:27:03,439
Speaker 1: sound right now, you got early voting underway, they got

1691
01:27:03,439 --> 01:27:08,840
Speaker 1: a well oiled Democrat machine arrayed against you. What are

1692
01:27:08,880 --> 01:27:11,320
Speaker 1: some factors people need to know and how is your

1693
01:27:11,400 --> 01:27:15,040
Speaker 1: side mobilizing doing the door knocking doing to get out

1694
01:27:15,080 --> 01:27:18,400
Speaker 1: the vote effort. Well, you don't start that the last week.

1695
01:27:18,439 --> 01:27:20,960
Speaker 1: You start that actually in July, the dog days of summer.

1696
01:27:21,200 --> 01:27:24,360
Speaker 1: We have a huge group that was knocking on doors

1697
01:27:24,400 --> 01:27:27,320
Speaker 1: over one hundred thousand a week, a whole program for

1698
01:27:27,400 --> 01:27:29,479
Speaker 1: going back to those same doors later on to make

1699
01:27:29,479 --> 01:27:31,559
Speaker 1: sure they actually show up and vote. We go after

1700
01:27:31,600 --> 01:27:34,519
Speaker 1: them until they actually do vote. We have a very

1701
01:27:34,520 --> 01:27:37,439
Speaker 1: big mail campaign. It's very strong on the ground because

1702
01:27:37,439 --> 01:27:40,479
Speaker 1: we had a very close primary. So I have lawyers

1703
01:27:40,479 --> 01:27:43,400
Speaker 1: in every part of the state. I've got three major

1704
01:27:43,439 --> 01:27:46,880
Speaker 1: headquarters for election day operations. I've got people who are

1705
01:27:46,880 --> 01:27:49,800
Speaker 1: actually manning all the polls. It's a big investment. This

1706
01:27:49,880 --> 01:27:51,960
Speaker 1: is something we're getting right this year, and I am

1707
01:27:52,000 --> 01:27:54,600
Speaker 1: confident we're going to win this election. But not just

1708
01:27:54,640 --> 01:27:57,040
Speaker 1: because you've got a good election day operation, but because

1709
01:27:57,080 --> 01:27:59,479
Speaker 1: we actually we're aheading the polls, because we have better

1710
01:27:59,520 --> 01:28:02,120
Speaker 1: ideas and always yeah, I mean to work in Pennsylvania's

1711
01:28:02,160 --> 01:28:04,400
Speaker 1: doctor Oz clan. I keep saying this, people are just

1712
01:28:04,400 --> 01:28:06,960
Speaker 1: trying to pay the bills, get it done. The Democrats

1713
01:28:07,000 --> 01:28:09,280
Speaker 1: really don't. I mean the Feederman message, which is just

1714
01:28:09,360 --> 01:28:12,680
Speaker 1: a mirror image of the Biden Democrat and that nationwide

1715
01:28:12,680 --> 01:28:15,800
Speaker 1: message is you know, maybe it'll get better. Shut up

1716
01:28:15,800 --> 01:28:17,680
Speaker 1: and deal with the high crime, the high prices, and

1717
01:28:17,760 --> 01:28:22,040
Speaker 1: the mess. They ignore the facts. But here's the part

1718
01:28:22,080 --> 01:28:25,719
Speaker 1: that stunned me. After the debate, which most people except

1719
01:28:25,720 --> 01:28:29,800
Speaker 1: for the Philadelphia Inquire amazing. Most people thought that I

1720
01:28:29,840 --> 01:28:32,200
Speaker 1: did well and he didn't. But after the debate, the

1721
01:28:32,240 --> 01:28:36,120
Speaker 1: Democrats that night raised two million dollars and they continue

1722
01:28:36,200 --> 01:28:37,960
Speaker 1: to pour money in now. By the way, if that

1723
01:28:38,000 --> 01:28:40,160
Speaker 1: bothers you and it should, please support me at doctor

1724
01:28:40,200 --> 01:28:42,559
Speaker 1: oz dot com. You know we're raising money as well.

1725
01:28:42,600 --> 01:28:46,720
Speaker 1: But this is an unbelievably effective fundraising machine for the Democrats,

1726
01:28:47,080 --> 01:28:49,120
Speaker 1: and there's a lot of reasons for it. But we

1727
01:28:49,240 --> 01:28:51,479
Speaker 1: finally figured it out and we've caught them and we

1728
01:28:51,560 --> 01:28:54,479
Speaker 1: have a better ideas, which is ultimately why elections get one.

1729
01:28:54,880 --> 01:28:57,000
Speaker 1: But it is imperative to do what you just discussed.

1730
01:28:57,320 --> 01:28:59,519
Speaker 1: Make sure you have a ground operation that should talking

1731
01:28:59,560 --> 01:29:02,520
Speaker 1: to people about things they care about. And the Democrats

1732
01:29:02,600 --> 01:29:04,519
Speaker 1: this cycle not just in Pennsylvania, but I think it

1733
01:29:04,600 --> 01:29:07,439
Speaker 1: is true around the country have ignored crime. Even though

1734
01:29:07,439 --> 01:29:09,360
Speaker 1: people in Philadelphia say they feel like that part of

1735
01:29:09,360 --> 01:29:11,760
Speaker 1: a social experiment. Because we have the most homicides. Ever,

1736
01:29:12,120 --> 01:29:14,240
Speaker 1: they ignore the impact of fen anel. We have seven

1737
01:29:14,280 --> 01:29:17,240
Speaker 1: times more according to the state troopers who have endorsed me,

1738
01:29:17,280 --> 01:29:19,800
Speaker 1: as has the Patrol Order Police, seven times more than

1739
01:29:19,840 --> 01:29:23,040
Speaker 1: two years ago. Democrats won't acknowledge it. In fact, Federman

1740
01:29:23,080 --> 01:29:25,280
Speaker 1: says he wants to legalize all drugs. We know when

1741
01:29:25,320 --> 01:29:28,080
Speaker 1: that was tried in Oregon two years ago, fifty percent

1742
01:29:28,120 --> 01:29:32,759
Speaker 1: increase in homicide rates, not just drug overdoses, homicide rates

1743
01:29:32,800 --> 01:29:36,080
Speaker 1: because you create lawlessness. And eventually a Democrats are going

1744
01:29:36,120 --> 01:29:37,880
Speaker 1: to figure this out, but it's going to hurt them

1745
01:29:37,920 --> 01:29:41,240
Speaker 1: this cycle, Doctor oz Bluck and I love to look

1746
01:29:41,240 --> 01:29:43,479
Speaker 1: at the data as it's coming in. It may take

1747
01:29:43,520 --> 01:29:46,679
Speaker 1: a while for Pennsylvania to be fully reconciled in terms

1748
01:29:46,720 --> 01:29:50,000
Speaker 1: of all the numbers coming in what area quickly here

1749
01:29:50,240 --> 01:29:53,160
Speaker 1: in the state. Every vote matters, But what area in

1750
01:29:53,200 --> 01:29:55,240
Speaker 1: the state is the most critical in your opinion to

1751
01:29:55,280 --> 01:29:59,160
Speaker 1: winning this race. The southeast is vital to Philadelphia in

1752
01:29:59,160 --> 01:30:01,680
Speaker 1: suburban area. The rest of the state I think is

1753
01:30:01,720 --> 01:30:04,360
Speaker 1: firmly supportive of our views. And told doctor is getting

1754
01:30:04,400 --> 01:30:06,960
Speaker 1: the message as well. And I bought ads in every

1755
01:30:06,960 --> 01:30:09,120
Speaker 1: World Series game just to make sure. And of course

1756
01:30:09,120 --> 01:30:11,679
Speaker 1: it's been in the Eagles games the whole time as well. Well,

1757
01:30:11,720 --> 01:30:15,200
Speaker 1: there we go. Absolutely love it, doctor Oz. We appreciate you, man.

1758
01:30:15,280 --> 01:30:17,800
Speaker 1: We are looking forward to seeing how it shakes out

1759
01:30:17,800 --> 01:30:20,680
Speaker 1: an election day. We're feeling good and we're glad that

1760
01:30:20,680 --> 01:30:22,800
Speaker 1: we were early on the Oz train because that choo

1761
01:30:22,840 --> 01:30:25,479
Speaker 1: choo is going to Victory Town. You're listening to Clay

1762
01:30:25,520 --> 01:30:28,880
Speaker 1: and Bucks countdown to the election day podcast Intel for

1763
01:30:28,960 --> 01:30:33,639
Speaker 1: the informed voter Joe O'Day, who is trying to knock

1764
01:30:33,840 --> 01:30:37,640
Speaker 1: another Democrat out of the Senate. Colorado is one of

1765
01:30:37,640 --> 01:30:42,120
Speaker 1: the states where Republicans are surging, and Joe, we wanted

1766
01:30:42,160 --> 01:30:43,920
Speaker 1: to give you an opportunity to come on and make

1767
01:30:43,960 --> 01:30:45,960
Speaker 1: the case. We've got the number one show in the

1768
01:30:46,000 --> 01:30:49,280
Speaker 1: Denver area. Wanted to let you tell everybody about where

1769
01:30:49,320 --> 01:30:51,639
Speaker 1: this race is, what you need to do to get

1770
01:30:51,640 --> 01:30:55,280
Speaker 1: over the finish line as a winner. Here. Clay and

1771
01:30:55,320 --> 01:30:57,200
Speaker 1: Buck danks for having me on today. Man. With this

1772
01:30:57,320 --> 01:31:00,639
Speaker 1: race is close, we're within the margins right now. We're

1773
01:31:01,120 --> 01:31:03,280
Speaker 1: gonna need to count every vote though. I'm on the road.

1774
01:31:03,800 --> 01:31:06,439
Speaker 1: We're out now inmost of the day talking to the

1775
01:31:06,439 --> 01:31:09,040
Speaker 1: good voters out there, getting them motivated. We're just in

1776
01:31:09,120 --> 01:31:12,080
Speaker 1: Monta Vista headited Durango to night and to make sure

1777
01:31:12,120 --> 01:31:15,240
Speaker 1: we get across the entire state. It's gonna be close.

1778
01:31:15,320 --> 01:31:18,360
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna lie to you, but Bennet's got to go.

1779
01:31:19,080 --> 01:31:21,559
Speaker 1: He votes with Biden ninety eight percent of the time.

1780
01:31:21,960 --> 01:31:25,240
Speaker 1: On record inflation, Bennett's with Biden, and on record crime,

1781
01:31:25,360 --> 01:31:28,960
Speaker 1: Bennett's with Biden. On record fuel prices, Bennett is with

1782
01:31:29,200 --> 01:31:31,800
Speaker 1: Biden on a week border. I was just down there

1783
01:31:31,880 --> 01:31:35,439
Speaker 1: last week. That's a travesty down there. I gotta tell you,

1784
01:31:35,479 --> 01:31:38,599
Speaker 1: it's a humanitarian crisis, not to mention the drugs coming across.

1785
01:31:39,080 --> 01:31:41,200
Speaker 1: But Bennett, he votes with Biden all the time, and

1786
01:31:41,320 --> 01:31:45,200
Speaker 1: that's the problem. Colorado deserves better. I hope voters will

1787
01:31:45,240 --> 01:31:47,640
Speaker 1: give me a chance this year to go to the

1788
01:31:47,680 --> 01:31:50,280
Speaker 1: Senate and represent working Americans. That's why I got in

1789
01:31:50,320 --> 01:31:53,320
Speaker 1: this race. And so what would be top of the agenda.

1790
01:31:53,360 --> 01:31:56,400
Speaker 1: Obviously Joe Biden sitting as president would make it difficult

1791
01:31:56,439 --> 01:32:00,320
Speaker 1: to get any legislation through. But making the case Joe,

1792
01:32:00,320 --> 01:32:03,160
Speaker 1: if you were in the Senate, we certainly hope you're

1793
01:32:03,200 --> 01:32:06,720
Speaker 1: able to pull this race out. For many reasons for

1794
01:32:06,800 --> 01:32:09,760
Speaker 1: Clay and me, just all the libertiers from Colorado being

1795
01:32:09,760 --> 01:32:12,920
Speaker 1: in Hell would be fantastic among them. But you know,

1796
01:32:13,680 --> 01:32:15,559
Speaker 1: a big part of it is, even if you can't

1797
01:32:15,920 --> 01:32:20,400
Speaker 1: get something necessarily through as legislation, being in a position

1798
01:32:20,439 --> 01:32:23,360
Speaker 1: to one stop the harm. We keep saying that with

1799
01:32:23,439 --> 01:32:26,800
Speaker 1: this it's a do no harm, a do no harm goal,

1800
01:32:26,920 --> 01:32:29,960
Speaker 1: meaning that when the Biden administration can't get legislation, that's

1801
01:32:29,960 --> 01:32:32,360
Speaker 1: going to be better for everybody. But also you make

1802
01:32:32,400 --> 01:32:34,759
Speaker 1: the case so that when twenty twenty four comes around.

1803
01:32:34,880 --> 01:32:36,920
Speaker 1: What's the top of the case you make when you're

1804
01:32:36,960 --> 01:32:40,120
Speaker 1: sitting in the Senate. Well, I gotta tell you, I

1805
01:32:40,160 --> 01:32:43,120
Speaker 1: was just down at the borders here last week, and

1806
01:32:43,520 --> 01:32:47,960
Speaker 1: that is an epic failure by Biden and Bennett. That's unbelievable.

1807
01:32:49,040 --> 01:32:52,000
Speaker 1: You the sheriffs down there are exhausted. They're working their

1808
01:32:52,040 --> 01:32:54,240
Speaker 1: tails off trying to keep up with the flow of

1809
01:32:54,280 --> 01:32:56,680
Speaker 1: sentinel coming up. So the first thing I'm going to

1810
01:32:56,760 --> 01:33:00,280
Speaker 1: do is roll out a bill that will finish the wall,

1811
01:33:00,680 --> 01:33:04,880
Speaker 1: give the dreamers their citizenship, and start to revamp our

1812
01:33:05,360 --> 01:33:09,720
Speaker 1: immigration system. And let's bring that to some attention to

1813
01:33:09,760 --> 01:33:11,720
Speaker 1: the rest of the country, because what we got going

1814
01:33:11,760 --> 01:33:15,559
Speaker 1: on down there now, it is a humanitarian crisis of

1815
01:33:15,680 --> 01:33:21,479
Speaker 1: epic proportions and we can do better. United States deserves better,

1816
01:33:21,680 --> 01:33:25,400
Speaker 1: the migrants deserve better, and Bennett and Biden have just

1817
01:33:25,520 --> 01:33:29,400
Speaker 1: forgotten about it. They're out of touch. Everything he does

1818
01:33:29,960 --> 01:33:32,040
Speaker 1: is just a rubber stamp for his party. He doesn't

1819
01:33:32,040 --> 01:33:36,920
Speaker 1: care about Colorado. And that's why I got in this race, Joe.

1820
01:33:37,040 --> 01:33:40,439
Speaker 1: Are you surprised how awful of the president Joe Biden

1821
01:33:40,560 --> 01:33:42,479
Speaker 1: has been Because Buck and I talked about it. We

1822
01:33:42,479 --> 01:33:45,559
Speaker 1: didn't expect it to go well. But I can't even

1823
01:33:45,680 --> 01:33:48,839
Speaker 1: point to anything that he's touched that he hasn't made worse.

1824
01:33:49,240 --> 01:33:51,559
Speaker 1: And to what extent, Look, Colorado is a purple state

1825
01:33:51,600 --> 01:33:54,719
Speaker 1: for a long time. To what extent is your race

1826
01:33:55,040 --> 01:33:58,679
Speaker 1: really a referendum on the first two years of Joe Biden.

1827
01:34:00,200 --> 01:34:03,280
Speaker 1: It's exactly that. When you look at the war on

1828
01:34:03,479 --> 01:34:06,840
Speaker 1: energy that he started that has just gutted the oil

1829
01:34:06,880 --> 01:34:11,280
Speaker 1: and gas businesses here in Colorado, We've got it's crushing

1830
01:34:11,320 --> 01:34:15,759
Speaker 1: our agriculture as well. With five dollars diesel. I thought

1831
01:34:15,760 --> 01:34:18,640
Speaker 1: at first that, you know, maybe his policies were accidental,

1832
01:34:18,680 --> 01:34:22,240
Speaker 1: but this is intentional. He is intentionally trying to ruin

1833
01:34:22,320 --> 01:34:25,000
Speaker 1: our country. And that's why I had to jump in

1834
01:34:25,160 --> 01:34:27,639
Speaker 1: We can't have a rubber stamp in the US Senate

1835
01:34:28,080 --> 01:34:30,360
Speaker 1: for Joe Biden. And that's what we've got right now

1836
01:34:30,360 --> 01:34:34,760
Speaker 1: in Michael Bennett. We lost Space Command here in Colorado

1837
01:34:34,800 --> 01:34:37,760
Speaker 1: because Michael Bennett sat on his hands. We've lost the

1838
01:34:37,880 --> 01:34:42,200
Speaker 1: BLM headquarters to Washington. It's moving back now because Michael

1839
01:34:42,200 --> 01:34:46,800
Speaker 1: Bennett has just sat on his hands. This economy, it

1840
01:34:46,800 --> 01:34:49,760
Speaker 1: couldn't be worse. We're getting ready to we're into a

1841
01:34:49,880 --> 01:34:52,479
Speaker 1: recession right now. And this is all on the back

1842
01:34:52,600 --> 01:34:58,519
Speaker 1: of a lane president with a rubber stamp Michael Bennett. Joe, folks,

1843
01:34:58,600 --> 01:35:01,720
Speaker 1: go in order to support you in these final few

1844
01:35:01,800 --> 01:35:04,320
Speaker 1: days here, and also I just wanted to give you

1845
01:35:04,360 --> 01:35:07,240
Speaker 1: the chance again with a microphone that stretches across the country,

1846
01:35:07,280 --> 01:35:10,360
Speaker 1: but is particularly powerful in your home state of Colorado's

1847
01:35:10,360 --> 01:35:13,599
Speaker 1: claim mentioned we're number one in Denver, and that Denver

1848
01:35:13,720 --> 01:35:15,920
Speaker 1: market stretches out into a big chunk of the state.

1849
01:35:17,240 --> 01:35:20,960
Speaker 1: You can win. Why tell us why I can win?

1850
01:35:21,080 --> 01:35:24,439
Speaker 1: Because independence are just as set up as Republicans. And

1851
01:35:24,479 --> 01:35:28,680
Speaker 1: we've got Democrats that have also donated to my campaign.

1852
01:35:29,000 --> 01:35:31,559
Speaker 1: They're tired of Joe Biden, They're tired of Michael Bennett's

1853
01:35:31,600 --> 01:35:34,559
Speaker 1: rubber stamp. People are fed up, and we've got a

1854
01:35:34,560 --> 01:35:37,400
Speaker 1: great campaign running. We're within the margins right now, and

1855
01:35:37,439 --> 01:35:40,679
Speaker 1: if everybody in Colorado that's unhappy shows up to vote,

1856
01:35:40,720 --> 01:35:43,439
Speaker 1: I'm going to win by a landslide. It's gonna be great,

1857
01:35:43,760 --> 01:35:48,639
Speaker 1: great day. It's Joeoday dot com, Joeoda dot com. I'd

1858
01:35:48,720 --> 01:35:50,679
Speaker 1: love it if your listeners will jump on there, throw

1859
01:35:50,720 --> 01:35:52,479
Speaker 1: me a few bucks. It'll go right on the air.

1860
01:35:53,000 --> 01:35:55,960
Speaker 1: Michael Bennett's outspending me four to one. He's got forty

1861
01:35:56,000 --> 01:35:58,880
Speaker 1: million dollar war chest that he's trying to get back

1862
01:35:58,920 --> 01:36:02,320
Speaker 1: into power, and we just can't let that happen. Joe.

1863
01:36:02,400 --> 01:36:04,960
Speaker 1: We appreciate you making the closing case for us here

1864
01:36:04,960 --> 01:36:07,960
Speaker 1: eight days out. We're all behind you, certainly, and we

1865
01:36:07,960 --> 01:36:10,360
Speaker 1: appreciate everybody who's listening in Colorado right now that we

1866
01:36:10,400 --> 01:36:11,680
Speaker 1: know is going to be out as a part of

1867
01:36:11,680 --> 01:36:14,479
Speaker 1: the large army fighting to take back this country. Thanks

1868
01:36:14,479 --> 01:36:17,600
Speaker 1: for the time, appreciate it, Thanks for being on here.

1869
01:36:17,640 --> 01:36:20,240
Speaker 1: I love your show. You're listening to Clay in Bucks

1870
01:36:20,400 --> 01:36:25,559
Speaker 1: countdown to Election Day podcast Candidates and Common Sense. We're

1871
01:36:25,640 --> 01:36:30,560
Speaker 1: joined now by Mayor Keith Peacaw of the sixth Congressional

1872
01:36:30,600 --> 01:36:34,000
Speaker 1: district in Illinois. You're an air force combat that small

1873
01:36:34,040 --> 01:36:36,200
Speaker 1: business owner. You are fired up, you want to get

1874
01:36:36,240 --> 01:36:39,479
Speaker 1: to Congress. Tell us about your district and what you

1875
01:36:39,520 --> 01:36:43,599
Speaker 1: are seeing on the ground there. Well, thanks for having me, Clay.

1876
01:36:43,680 --> 01:36:46,800
Speaker 1: So this district is it was remapped in Illinois, and

1877
01:36:46,840 --> 01:36:49,679
Speaker 1: it actually combined the third district in the sixth district

1878
01:36:50,000 --> 01:36:54,240
Speaker 1: and surprisingly combined two Democratic incumbents that we're both very

1879
01:36:54,240 --> 01:36:57,720
Speaker 1: far left. And so the new district is actually in

1880
01:36:58,000 --> 01:37:02,760
Speaker 1: their haste to do all this to create another overwhelmingly

1881
01:37:02,800 --> 01:37:06,680
Speaker 1: democratic district, they created a district that went from those

1882
01:37:06,720 --> 01:37:08,439
Speaker 1: other districts were about a DP plus seven or D

1883
01:37:08,479 --> 01:37:10,760
Speaker 1: plus eight to one is a D plus two, So

1884
01:37:10,800 --> 01:37:13,840
Speaker 1: a very neutral seat, more like congressional seats should look,

1885
01:37:14,240 --> 01:37:18,080
Speaker 1: and one that I believe we should win. Now, safety

1886
01:37:18,160 --> 01:37:20,479
Speaker 1: obviously is a major part of this key. This is

1887
01:37:20,520 --> 01:37:22,960
Speaker 1: bucked by the way, thanks for being with us. The

1888
01:37:23,000 --> 01:37:25,000
Speaker 1: issue of crime, law and order. It's going to be

1889
01:37:25,080 --> 01:37:28,439
Speaker 1: very high up on well really in all these races

1890
01:37:28,479 --> 01:37:32,000
Speaker 1: across the nation, especially anywhere near a city. And you

1891
01:37:32,040 --> 01:37:35,759
Speaker 1: have called the Illinois Safety Act the most dangerous law

1892
01:37:36,280 --> 01:37:39,040
Speaker 1: you've ever seen it. It does feel orwellian that the

1893
01:37:39,120 --> 01:37:44,160
Speaker 1: safe key Act is in fact, deeply unsafe, is dangerous.

1894
01:37:44,280 --> 01:37:49,719
Speaker 1: Explain to us why that is, well, thanks, Buck, I'm sorry. Yeah,

1895
01:37:49,760 --> 01:37:54,639
Speaker 1: this law basically prioritizes criminals over law abiding citizens and police.

1896
01:37:54,920 --> 01:37:56,880
Speaker 1: And there are several different layers to it. But the

1897
01:37:56,920 --> 01:38:01,720
Speaker 1: first is it's the elimination of cash bail for all offenses,

1898
01:38:01,920 --> 01:38:04,679
Speaker 1: but the only offenses that can be held there there's

1899
01:38:04,720 --> 01:38:06,840
Speaker 1: just a handful of them, like seven or eight. All

1900
01:38:06,880 --> 01:38:09,639
Speaker 1: the rest people must be released, so that includes second

1901
01:38:09,640 --> 01:38:14,880
Speaker 1: degree murder, aggravated the soul, aggravated, discharge of a weapon, kidnapping,

1902
01:38:15,640 --> 01:38:19,200
Speaker 1: on robbery, all those things people must be released. And

1903
01:38:19,240 --> 01:38:22,000
Speaker 1: then forty eight hours of ankle monitoring they have to

1904
01:38:22,040 --> 01:38:24,559
Speaker 1: be They have to miss a check in for forty

1905
01:38:24,600 --> 01:38:26,240
Speaker 1: eight hours before you can go look for them. In

1906
01:38:26,280 --> 01:38:29,160
Speaker 1: other words, they could drive from Illinois to Alaska before

1907
01:38:29,479 --> 01:38:33,080
Speaker 1: anyone even knows they're gone. And then lastly, trust passing

1908
01:38:33,120 --> 01:38:35,840
Speaker 1: has been lowered from a Class A misdemeanor to a

1909
01:38:35,840 --> 01:38:38,599
Speaker 1: Class B misdemeanor, and that law at class B misdemeanor

1910
01:38:38,720 --> 01:38:41,080
Speaker 1: law has been changed to a shall issue a citation,

1911
01:38:42,040 --> 01:38:44,479
Speaker 1: which means that the police cannot put a hand on

1912
01:38:44,479 --> 01:38:46,880
Speaker 1: someone and remove someone from a property so now if

1913
01:38:46,880 --> 01:38:49,320
Speaker 1: someone trust passes on your property in your home, at

1914
01:38:49,360 --> 01:38:52,559
Speaker 1: your home or at your business, the police cannot remove them,

1915
01:38:52,800 --> 01:38:54,759
Speaker 1: and it will end up being on the property owner

1916
01:38:55,080 --> 01:38:57,320
Speaker 1: or on the business owner to remove them. And that's

1917
01:38:57,320 --> 01:38:59,200
Speaker 1: going to lead to people taking the lawn in their

1918
01:38:59,200 --> 01:39:01,320
Speaker 1: own hands and a lot of bad things happening. And

1919
01:39:01,439 --> 01:39:04,480
Speaker 1: Keith isn't there. Also, I spoke to a Democrat, Alderman,

1920
01:39:04,560 --> 01:39:08,760
Speaker 1: in the city of Chicago about the rules there, specifically

1921
01:39:08,760 --> 01:39:13,240
Speaker 1: for Chicago PD, and my understanding is now there's a

1922
01:39:13,280 --> 01:39:16,800
Speaker 1: whole range of offenses for which police are not even

1923
01:39:16,800 --> 01:39:20,320
Speaker 1: supposed to give chase. So basically, if someone's like breaking

1924
01:39:20,360 --> 01:39:22,519
Speaker 1: and entering or something and they run away, the cops

1925
01:39:22,600 --> 01:39:25,400
Speaker 1: just have to go, okay, not not supposed to drive

1926
01:39:25,479 --> 01:39:28,479
Speaker 1: fast in the car to chase you. I think those

1927
01:39:28,479 --> 01:39:31,800
Speaker 1: are Chicago rules. I didn't see any rule. I'm not

1928
01:39:31,840 --> 01:39:34,320
Speaker 1: aware of any rules in there that says we can't

1929
01:39:34,400 --> 01:39:36,840
Speaker 1: chase that that you can't be chased. No, this isn't statewide,

1930
01:39:36,840 --> 01:39:38,840
Speaker 1: This is specific to the city of Chicago. But just

1931
01:39:38,880 --> 01:39:41,479
Speaker 1: to illustrate the insanity of some of these positions that

1932
01:39:41,560 --> 01:39:44,679
Speaker 1: you've heard of, that too, Oh for sure, that's definitely

1933
01:39:44,680 --> 01:39:47,479
Speaker 1: a Chicago position and the crime that's happening in Chicago.

1934
01:39:47,560 --> 01:39:51,680
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm a mayor in Cook County, about fifteen

1935
01:39:51,760 --> 01:39:53,960
Speaker 1: miles from from the city of Chicago, and there's no

1936
01:39:54,040 --> 01:39:56,040
Speaker 1: question that those criminals are moving their way into the

1937
01:39:56,080 --> 01:39:59,040
Speaker 1: suburbs because they feel emboldened. So we deal with it

1938
01:39:59,040 --> 01:40:02,800
Speaker 1: all the time. So crime and the pressure of criminals

1939
01:40:03,080 --> 01:40:08,120
Speaker 1: has been increasing around the suburbs around Chicago for five

1940
01:40:08,160 --> 01:40:10,479
Speaker 1: and a half years. For six years since Kim Fox

1941
01:40:10,479 --> 01:40:14,280
Speaker 1: has taken office. Keith peacall everybody, Keith, if people want

1942
01:40:14,280 --> 01:40:16,439
Speaker 1: to help out, especially in your area in Illinois, where

1943
01:40:16,439 --> 01:40:20,240
Speaker 1: should they go? They should go to Keith Peacau dot com.

1944
01:40:20,320 --> 01:40:23,680
Speaker 1: That's Pekau dot com and they can help out and

1945
01:40:23,720 --> 01:40:26,840

1948

1949
01:40:33,600 --> 01:40:37,320
Speaker 1: You know, this AMMO has gotten really expensive enough to

1950
01:40:37,320 --> 01:40:39,880
Speaker 1: deter the occasional user from going to the shooting ranges

1951
01:40:40,600 --> 01:40:43,120
Speaker 1: as often as they'd like to to keep their skills sharp,

1952
01:40:43,280 --> 01:40:46,559
Speaker 1: which is so important. Right, But did you know you

1972
01:41:54,920 --> 01:41:57,679
Speaker 1: joins US now to talk about how, first of all,

1973
01:41:57,800 --> 01:41:59,960
Speaker 1: we gotta get Mike Lee back in the Senate. Senator,

1974

Speaker 1: thanks for calling in. Yeah, we're here. There we go, sir,

1975
01:42:03,760 --> 01:42:05,679
Speaker 1: What do people need to We got a huge audience

1976
01:42:05,720 --> 01:42:08,360
Speaker 1: in Utah. We are very blast, very fortunate that so

1977
01:42:08,439 --> 01:42:11,720
Speaker 1: many from that great state listening. What do you want

1978
01:42:11,720 --> 01:42:13,679
Speaker 1: to tell them right now as you're in the final

1979
01:42:13,800 --> 01:42:18,200
Speaker 1: days here before you're up for reelection. Number One, Evan

1980
01:42:18,320 --> 01:42:22,000
Speaker 1: McMullan is Joe Biden's guy. He'd be Chuck Schumer's fifty

1981
01:42:22,080 --> 01:42:26,280
Speaker 1: first vote in the Senate. Mcno mistake. Guy's note independent,

1982
01:42:27,120 --> 01:42:30,640
Speaker 1: he'll function effectively as a Democrat. We don't want that.

1983
01:42:30,800 --> 01:42:33,680
Speaker 1: Number two. Imagine if he had been there at the

1984
01:42:33,760 --> 01:42:40,080
Speaker 1: time of Justice Scalia's passing. Based on his current political ideology,

1985
01:42:40,840 --> 01:42:44,640
Speaker 1: it's pretty clear that he would have voted to confirm

1986
01:42:44,640 --> 01:42:48,040
Speaker 1: Merrick Garland to the US Supreme Court. We don't want that.

1987
01:42:48,280 --> 01:42:51,120
Speaker 1: We know that he would have also voted to confirm

1988
01:42:51,360 --> 01:42:55,280
Speaker 1: President Biden's recent Supreme Court nominee, Justice Jackson him that

1989
01:42:55,320 --> 01:42:58,799
Speaker 1: he would have voted against Amy Tony Barrett and Brett Kavanaugh.

1990
01:42:59,680 --> 01:43:03,439
Speaker 1: Number free, If you're in Utah, make sure you get

1994
01:43:14,160 --> 01:43:17,439
Speaker 1: that's come to rely on mail in ballots, they to

1995
01:43:17,479 --> 01:43:21,559

2001

Speaker 1: or any money you care to contribute to help us

2002
01:43:43,200 --> 01:43:45,160
Speaker 1: fight back on this. This race is closer than it

2003
01:43:45,200 --> 01:43:47,880
Speaker 1: should be. I intend to win, and expect to win,

2004
01:43:47,960 --> 01:43:50,519
Speaker 1: but I need all the help I can get. Siderally,

2005
01:43:50,600 --> 01:43:53,439
Speaker 1: we love everybody who listens out there in Utah to us,

2006
01:43:53,439 --> 01:43:55,280
Speaker 1: and we want them to listen to you carefully. And

2007
01:43:55,360 --> 01:43:57,400
Speaker 1: I'll just make what I think is a pretty succinct

2008
01:43:57,520 --> 01:44:00,559
Speaker 1: argument here. If you think Joe Biden's doing a good job,

2009
01:44:00,840 --> 01:44:04,240
Speaker 1: you should go vote for your opponent, because he's going

2010
01:44:04,280 --> 01:44:07,160
Speaker 1: to be a rubber stamp for everything Joe Biden wants

2011
01:44:07,200 --> 01:44:09,200
Speaker 1: to do. And everything Joe Biden has done has been

2012
01:44:09,240 --> 01:44:11,360
Speaker 1: a disaster. And I know most people in Utah agree

2013
01:44:11,360 --> 01:44:13,599
Speaker 1: with me. If you want Joe Biden to be stood

2014
01:44:13,680 --> 01:44:15,519
Speaker 1: up to, and you want someone to fight against what

2015
01:44:15,600 --> 01:44:17,920
Speaker 1: Joe Biden is trying to make happen, There's only one

2016
01:44:18,040 --> 01:44:20,920
Speaker 1: choice in this race, and it's you. This is not independence,

2017
01:44:21,080 --> 01:44:23,680
Speaker 1: this is You're either a Biden guy or you're not.

2018
01:44:23,880 --> 01:44:26,400
Speaker 1: And I know Utah is not for Biden. You've got

2019
01:44:26,400 --> 01:44:28,600
Speaker 1: to be for yourself for Senator Lead. That kind of

2020
01:44:28,600 --> 01:44:32,479
Speaker 1: succinctly sums it up, right, I think it does. Joe

2021
01:44:32,520 --> 01:44:35,360
Speaker 1: Biden is not popular in Utah, and with good reason.

2022
01:44:35,880 --> 01:44:40,200
Speaker 1: Utah's are suffering under the yoke of his burdensome inflation

2023
01:44:40,320 --> 01:44:45,720
Speaker 1: created by his multi trillion dollar reckless deficit spending. You know,

2024
01:44:46,439 --> 01:44:49,599
Speaker 1: h Utah even harder than it's hit most states almost

2025
01:44:49,640 --> 01:44:54,280
Speaker 1: any other state. Average monthly expenses in Utah are up

2026
01:44:54,400 --> 01:44:57,240
Speaker 1: nine hundred and forty nine dollars per family per month

2027
01:44:57,760 --> 01:45:01,360
Speaker 1: relative to the day Joe Biden was inaugurated as President

2028
01:45:01,400 --> 01:45:04,439
Speaker 1: of the United States. That's a sixteen percent rate of

2029
01:45:04,479 --> 01:45:08,479
Speaker 1: inflation over just over a year and a half. Utahs

2030
01:45:08,479 --> 01:45:12,000
Speaker 1: can't afford that. Most Americans can't afford that. This is

2031
01:45:12,040 --> 01:45:16,400
Speaker 1: the predictable, foreseeable results of Biden's reckless spending. We brought

2032
01:45:16,400 --> 01:45:18,600
Speaker 1: in four trillion dollars last year in revenue when we

2033
01:45:18,600 --> 01:45:21,639
Speaker 1: spent nearly seven because Joe Biden has a rubber stamps

2034
01:45:21,680 --> 01:45:25,320
Speaker 1: Democratic Congress, and Evan McMullen would be part of that machine.

2035
01:45:25,920 --> 01:45:28,240
Speaker 1: Senator Lee, where should folks go again? What's that website?

2036
01:45:28,760 --> 01:45:31,640
Speaker 1: Leafer senate dot com. That's leafer Senate dot com. I

2037
01:45:31,680 --> 01:45:34,599
Speaker 1: can sure use your donation and your volunteer time. You're

2038
01:45:34,600 --> 01:45:37,920
Speaker 1: listening to Clay in Bucks Countdown to Election Day podcast

2039
01:45:38,120 --> 01:45:41,599
Speaker 1: Intel for the Informed Voter. What are you seeing on

2040
01:45:41,640 --> 01:45:44,800
Speaker 1: the ground as it gets closer and closer to election day?

2041
01:45:44,840 --> 01:45:47,479
Speaker 1: You have pulled ahead in the polls. Are you feeling

2042
01:45:47,520 --> 01:45:51,760
Speaker 1: that momentum? Well, we'll food in the momentum, the momentum,

2043
01:45:51,800 --> 01:45:54,400
Speaker 1: but opto my campaign group, we got to continue the

2044
01:45:54,439 --> 01:45:57,920
Speaker 1: campaign that we're five to ten points down right now.

2045
01:45:58,040 --> 01:46:00,400
Speaker 1: We want to Georgia people to know that we're gonna

2046
01:46:00,439 --> 01:46:02,400
Speaker 1: be fighting for them. We want them to know that

2047
01:46:02,439 --> 01:46:05,160
Speaker 1: we stand. A big contrast we see between Senator and

2048
01:46:05,200 --> 01:46:08,200
Speaker 1: whatnot and myself where I want to lawyer taxes. He

2049
01:46:08,240 --> 01:46:10,519
Speaker 1: want to raise your taxes. I want to secure a border.

2050
01:46:10,560 --> 01:46:12,840
Speaker 1: He don't want to secure the border. I also want

2051
01:46:12,840 --> 01:46:14,920
Speaker 1: to get men out of women's sports. He continued to

2052
01:46:15,080 --> 01:46:17,760
Speaker 1: vote for men and women's sports. I also want to

2053
01:46:17,760 --> 01:46:20,240
Speaker 1: get this economy on the control. They seem to not

2054
01:46:20,360 --> 01:46:23,000
Speaker 1: care and continue to spend money. So I want people

2055
01:46:23,000 --> 01:46:24,800
Speaker 1: to know that there are a big contrasts between the

2056
01:46:24,840 --> 01:46:27,000
Speaker 1: two of us, and so we're going to continue to

2057
01:46:27,000 --> 01:46:29,240
Speaker 1: get out there in campaign. So I'm gonna continue to

2058
01:46:29,280 --> 01:46:32,000
Speaker 1: tell people to go to team Herschel dot com because

2059
01:46:32,040 --> 01:46:34,320
Speaker 1: we gotta win this this this seat back for the

2060
01:46:34,360 --> 01:46:36,439
Speaker 1: quick people of Georgia. We don't want it to be

2061
01:46:36,479 --> 01:46:38,760
Speaker 1: a runoff. We want to win and straight out and

2062
01:46:38,840 --> 01:46:40,920
Speaker 1: let them know that we came here to fight for

2063
01:46:41,080 --> 01:46:44,120
Speaker 1: the great state of Georgia. Hey, Herscheltz Buck, you know,

2064
01:46:44,160 --> 01:46:48,200
Speaker 1: I'm sure you saw some of the Biden speech from

2065
01:46:48,240 --> 01:46:51,920
Speaker 1: earlier this week. It's pretty amazing, you know. Playing I

2066
01:46:52,000 --> 01:46:55,600
Speaker 1: follow politics every day and have for many years. It

2067
01:46:55,920 --> 01:46:58,479
Speaker 1: was shocking to see a president speak right before a

2068
01:46:58,560 --> 01:47:00,840
Speaker 1: mid term where he didn't dress. You just laid out

2069
01:47:00,840 --> 01:47:02,720
Speaker 1: a bunch of issues and what you want to accomplish

2070
01:47:02,760 --> 01:47:05,479
Speaker 1: in the Senate. Biden didn't address any of that, and

2071
01:47:05,520 --> 01:47:09,240
Speaker 1: he just talked about threats to democracy and political violence.

2072
01:47:09,520 --> 01:47:11,360
Speaker 1: What do you make of this, Like, are they just

2073
01:47:11,520 --> 01:47:15,280
Speaker 1: incapable of engaging on the issues. Well, that's what they've

2074
01:47:15,280 --> 01:47:18,720
Speaker 1: been doing this whole time, not just President Biden, but

2075
01:47:18,840 --> 01:47:21,280
Speaker 1: this whole left. They're not talking about the issues. They

2076
01:47:21,320 --> 01:47:24,360
Speaker 1: want to talk about everything else. If the issues, this

2077
01:47:24,439 --> 01:47:27,600
Speaker 1: is what they've called in less than two years. We

2078
01:47:27,680 --> 01:47:30,040
Speaker 1: see right now that we got high inflation, we see

2079
01:47:30,040 --> 01:47:32,960
Speaker 1: all the crime industry's got this open border. And he's

2080
01:47:32,960 --> 01:47:35,880
Speaker 1: saying the biggest threat to democracy is him being in

2081
01:47:35,920 --> 01:47:39,000
Speaker 1: the White House. The biggest threat to democracy is in

2082
01:47:39,600 --> 01:47:42,320
Speaker 1: centator whatnot. But they've done to all these colorment The

2083
01:47:42,360 --> 01:47:45,960
Speaker 1: biggest threat to DeMarcus is how they not let criminals

2084
01:47:46,000 --> 01:47:48,679
Speaker 1: be more important than all police department. But we can't

2085
01:47:48,760 --> 01:47:51,559
Speaker 1: do that. So they're the biggest threat. But they've contented

2086
01:47:51,600 --> 01:47:54,640
Speaker 1: to sort of try to make scare people, and I

2087
01:47:54,680 --> 01:47:57,599
Speaker 1: want people to wake up. We gotta get this thing right.

2088
01:47:57,760 --> 01:48:01,400
Speaker 1: We cannot give them six years after they've ridden shown

2089
01:48:01,479 --> 01:48:04,280
Speaker 1: us that they've destroyed everything. And two we can't give

2090
01:48:04,320 --> 01:48:06,120
Speaker 1: them six more years to do what they've done to

2091
01:48:06,200 --> 01:48:09,559
Speaker 1: this country and to this state. You've been attacked. I

2092
01:48:09,600 --> 01:48:13,920
Speaker 1: bet unlike any part of your life herschel, But it

2093
01:48:14,040 --> 01:48:17,320
Speaker 1: seems like you've come through on the other side, and

2094
01:48:17,479 --> 01:48:21,920
Speaker 1: people in Georgia have overwhelmingly said this is because people

2095
01:48:22,040 --> 01:48:26,720
Speaker 1: are terrified of Joe Biden and Warnock losing power, so

2096
01:48:26,760 --> 01:48:30,439
Speaker 1: they're coming after herschel Walker with everything they've got. Do

2097
01:48:30,479 --> 01:48:32,200
Speaker 1: you feel a little bit like you just went through

2098
01:48:32,200 --> 01:48:34,280
Speaker 1: the line of scrimmage. You got hit by everybody on

2099
01:48:34,320 --> 01:48:36,960
Speaker 1: every side. Now you're in the open field running that

2100
01:48:37,000 --> 01:48:40,280
Speaker 1: they weren't able to tackle you, and now you're out

2101
01:48:40,360 --> 01:48:43,800
Speaker 1: on your own. Well, you know, it's funny because what

2102
01:48:43,880 --> 01:48:47,639
Speaker 1: you're saying, they've spent one hundred million dollars already against me,

2103
01:48:48,200 --> 01:48:50,719
Speaker 1: and yet, like you said, I'm still there. I'm still

2104
01:48:50,760 --> 01:48:53,240
Speaker 1: staying which me and this seat is much bigger than

2105
01:48:53,280 --> 01:48:55,880
Speaker 1: herschel Walker, and I don't think they realized they came

2106
01:48:55,880 --> 01:48:58,439
Speaker 1: after their own. Georgia's here now. I'm a fighter. I've

2107
01:48:58,479 --> 01:49:01,320
Speaker 1: always been a fight of I've always got into the fight,

2108
01:49:01,360 --> 01:49:03,760
Speaker 1: and I come out as on the top. Right now,

2109
01:49:03,840 --> 01:49:06,120
Speaker 1: the Georgia people are hurting because the Senator why Not

2110
01:49:06,240 --> 01:49:08,679
Speaker 1: and Joe Biden, So they can talk about me, call

2111
01:49:08,760 --> 01:49:10,439
Speaker 1: me names, they can lie as much as they want

2112
01:49:10,439 --> 01:49:12,439
Speaker 1: to lie. One thing about me is I've been very

2113
01:49:12,439 --> 01:49:16,160
Speaker 1: transparent about my life. Senator one not heasn He's tried

2114
01:49:16,200 --> 01:49:19,679
Speaker 1: to hide behind a sealed documents in his court case.

2115
01:49:19,720 --> 01:49:21,559
Speaker 1: He tried to hide behind what he'd done to the

2116
01:49:21,680 --> 01:49:24,599
Speaker 1: kids and everything at that camp. Well, we don't want

2117
01:49:24,600 --> 01:49:26,439
Speaker 1: to talk about those things. Well, we want to talk

2118
01:49:26,439 --> 01:49:29,560
Speaker 1: about what he's done as a politician. As a politician,

2119
01:49:29,560 --> 01:49:32,080
Speaker 1: he got a fell in grade that grade as El

2120
01:49:32,800 --> 01:49:34,920
Speaker 1: and Biden got that f as well as a Senator

2121
01:49:34,920 --> 01:49:37,400
Speaker 1: one not As voted with him ninety six percent at

2122
01:49:37,400 --> 01:49:40,400
Speaker 1: the time. That's the reason when in the problem we

2123
01:49:40,439 --> 01:49:42,760
Speaker 1: are right now, because he doesn't seem to know what

2124
01:49:42,840 --> 01:49:45,479
Speaker 1: he's doing, and yet he said Herschel not read it.

2125
01:49:45,840 --> 01:49:48,160
Speaker 1: I hope everyone saw in that debate, they saw who

2126
01:49:48,240 --> 01:49:50,960
Speaker 1: was ready to be the senator for Georgia, and that

2127
01:49:51,040 --> 01:49:55,920
Speaker 1: was Herschel Walker Herschel. Vince Dooley died recently. For those

2128
01:49:55,920 --> 01:49:59,840
Speaker 1: people who don't know, legendary Georgia football coach, one of

2129
01:49:59,880 --> 01:50:03,880
Speaker 1: the the last things he did was recording advertisement for

2130
01:50:03,960 --> 01:50:08,200
Speaker 1: you in your Senate race. What did Vince Dully mean

2131
01:50:08,320 --> 01:50:10,799
Speaker 1: to you? What did he mean to the state of Georgia?

2132
01:50:11,000 --> 01:50:14,599
Speaker 1: What kind of person was he? Coach? Dudon was an

2133
01:50:14,640 --> 01:50:17,320
Speaker 1: incredible man. He was a leader, and that's one of

2134
01:50:17,360 --> 01:50:19,160
Speaker 1: the reasons that I'm going to run for this office

2135
01:50:19,200 --> 01:50:21,360
Speaker 1: a way of running, because he brought up a lot

2136
01:50:21,400 --> 01:50:24,280
Speaker 1: of great leaders. Coach Doula, you know, he was a

2137
01:50:24,280 --> 01:50:26,920
Speaker 1: big part of so many people lives. And I must

2138
01:50:26,920 --> 01:50:29,040
Speaker 1: say this, if it wasn't for Coach Douda, the man

2139
01:50:29,200 --> 01:50:32,280
Speaker 1: never been a herschel order Goach, Goach Doula. Miss Duda.

2140
01:50:32,320 --> 01:50:35,880
Speaker 1: They have a family, and his whole family family of mine,

2141
01:50:35,920 --> 01:50:37,479
Speaker 1: and I want to us to continue to send a

2142
01:50:37,520 --> 01:50:40,320
Speaker 1: prayer for Miss Doulon and the Dula family because they

2143
01:50:40,320 --> 01:50:43,280
Speaker 1: were incredible people, not just to the university, but to

2144
01:50:43,320 --> 01:50:45,719
Speaker 1: the state of Georgia, to this country. You know, Coach

2145
01:50:45,760 --> 01:50:48,760
Speaker 1: Dooda was one of the men that talked about the

2146
01:50:48,760 --> 01:50:51,720
Speaker 1: title nine, the Titan nine that is going on right

2147
01:50:51,760 --> 01:50:54,479
Speaker 1: now that the Left is trying to destroy a boy

2148
01:50:54,560 --> 01:50:57,240
Speaker 1: putting men and women's sports with Senator why not voted

2149
01:50:57,280 --> 01:51:00,000
Speaker 1: for that, But that's not what Titan nine was about.

2150
01:51:00,080 --> 01:51:02,559
Speaker 1: They want to change that as well. But Coach Dooda

2151
01:51:02,680 --> 01:51:05,280
Speaker 1: was an incredible man who I'm gonna miss it, and

2152
01:51:05,280 --> 01:51:07,479
Speaker 1: I'm gonna say that God got him a great football

2153
01:51:07,560 --> 01:51:11,960
Speaker 1: coach nine in heaven. Herschel walk everybody Herschel eight is

2154
01:51:11,960 --> 01:51:14,599
Speaker 1: so critical that everyone gets out in these last couple

2155
01:51:14,600 --> 01:51:17,679
Speaker 1: of days and obviously shows up big on election Day.

2156
01:51:17,800 --> 01:51:20,479
Speaker 1: Any just any any final final thoughts for them or

2157
01:51:20,520 --> 01:51:25,000
Speaker 1: any instructions. You know, we have special instructions from a

2158
01:51:25,040 --> 01:51:27,560
Speaker 1: Senate Canada in Alaska yesterday that we're very detailed. I

2159
01:51:27,640 --> 01:51:30,240
Speaker 1: mean anything you want to tell folks, Well, what I'd

Speaker 1: taking a non politician like myself. I tell you to

01:51:36,320 --> 01:51:38,720

Speaker 1: out who's done to this country in two short years.

2164
01:51:41,720 --> 01:51:44,599
Speaker 1: What they've done by giving us this open border, there's

2165
01:51:44,920 --> 01:51:48,280
Speaker 1: high taxes, this crime in the street, this is on

2166
01:51:48,360 --> 01:51:50,800
Speaker 1: their watch. I can promise you I'm gonna get out

2167

01:51:52,840 --> 01:51:55,000
Speaker 1: I'm gonna do us right by the great State of Georgia.

Speaker 1: can get things done, and we get it done together.

2174
01:52:07,600 --> 01:52:10,200
Speaker 1: I want people to go to teamhersher dot com. If

2175

Speaker 1: Let's get sentator onnot out of that seat, because that

2178
01:52:18,680 --> 01:52:21,240
Speaker 1: seat blown to the great people of Jordan, not to him,

2179
01:52:21,520 --> 01:52:25,760
Speaker 1: and it's time for him to leave. Walkers, We'll see

2180
01:52:25,760 --> 01:52:28,479
Speaker 1: you down in Athens. Hey, thank you, ny and God

2181
01:52:28,479 --> 01:52:33,040
Speaker 1: bless my friends. The only sound an unborn child can

2182
01:52:33,040 --> 01:52:35,680
Speaker 1: make is that of a heartbeat and the womb of

2183
01:52:35,720 --> 01:52:38,960
Speaker 1: their mother. Their best way of communicating is with that heartbeat,

2184
01:52:39,240 --> 01:52:41,160
Speaker 1: and it's immediately picked up with the help of an

2185
01:52:41,240 --> 01:52:44,439
Speaker 1: ultrasound machine. That's a device that is used in every

2186
01:52:44,439 --> 01:52:48,320
Speaker 1: one of the preborn pregnancy clinics nationwide. These are locations

2187
01:52:48,360 --> 01:52:50,840
Speaker 1: that are welcoming expectant mothers and providing them with a

2188
01:52:50,880 --> 01:52:53,559
Speaker 1: free ultrasound so they can meet their baby for the

2189
01:52:53,600 --> 01:52:57,559
Speaker 1: first time. That meeting, that divine moment, is often the

2190
01:52:57,600 --> 01:53:00,240
Speaker 1: time when an expectant mother who's been faced it's a

2191
01:53:00,240 --> 01:53:03,559
Speaker 1: difficult decision, makes a decision to bring that child into

2192
01:53:03,640 --> 01:53:08,680
Speaker 1: the world versus a possible abortion. Preborn pregnancy clinics do

2193
01:53:08,720 --> 01:53:12,040
Speaker 1: all this with donations from individuals of the pro life

2194
01:53:12,040 --> 01:53:15,679
Speaker 1: community like you and me. Our goal is to help

2195
01:53:15,680 --> 01:53:20,120
Speaker 1: them rescue forty thousand babies with your donations, one ultrasound

2196
01:53:20,200 --> 01:53:22,679
Speaker 1: is just twenty eight dollars, and now through a match,

2197
01:53:23,080 --> 01:53:26,000

01:53:32,520 --> 01:53:35,360
Speaker 1: a leadership gift. I mean, for example, there might be

2201
01:53:35,400 --> 01:53:37,479
Speaker 1: a couple of people in this audience for whom a

2202
01:53:37,600 --> 01:53:40,960
Speaker 1: seventy five hundred dollar tax deductible gift would be possible.

2203
01:53:41,360 --> 01:53:43,639
Speaker 1: It will be matched, and that will allow a full

2204
01:53:43,800 --> 01:53:47,799
Speaker 1: ultrasound machine to be placed in a needy preborn center,

2205
01:53:48,120 --> 01:53:50,680
Speaker 1: which could help save countless babies lives. But if you

2206
01:53:50,680 --> 01:53:53,880
Speaker 1: can spare five dollars, ten dollars, whatever you can offer today,

01:55:20,920 --> 01:55:23,320
Speaker 1: whatever's going on up there in Green Bay these days,

2233
01:55:23,760 --> 01:55:26,440
Speaker 1: Senator Johnson. I mean, you know, you've been able to

2234
01:55:26,480 --> 01:55:29,560
Speaker 1: extend the gap in the polls in your favor, which

2235
01:55:29,560 --> 01:55:31,920
Speaker 1: is which is fantastic. You know, we've got a bunch

2236
01:55:32,040 --> 01:55:36,600
Speaker 1: of members of Congress in just deadheat races that we've had,

2237
01:55:36,760 --> 01:55:38,840
Speaker 1: we'll have on today, have had them on all week.

2238
01:55:39,520 --> 01:55:43,680
Speaker 1: We've got some senators, you know, doctor Oz Blake, Masters

2239
01:55:43,680 --> 01:55:47,040
Speaker 1: others who are very close. I mean, if they're looking

2240
01:55:47,120 --> 01:55:49,600
Speaker 1: just for a little bit of a last minute pep

2241
01:55:49,640 --> 01:55:52,440
Speaker 1: talk from from Ron john up in Wisconsin, what do

2242
01:55:52,440 --> 01:55:56,720
Speaker 1: you say to them, We'll just tell the truth. If

2243
01:55:56,760 --> 01:55:59,280
Speaker 1: we've taken if we've gotten advantage of the polls, it's

2244
01:55:59,280 --> 01:56:02,120
Speaker 1: because we just been telling the truth about the radical

2245
01:56:02,200 --> 01:56:06,320
Speaker 1: leftists that my opponent is. As interesting as I'm hearing

2246
01:56:06,360 --> 01:56:09,200
Speaker 1: other candidates describe their race as though it's all the

2247
01:56:09,240 --> 01:56:13,680
Speaker 1: same playbook. They're lying about us. They're distorting what we say,

2248
01:56:14,400 --> 01:56:17,680
Speaker 1: assassining our characters. They're engaged in politics personal instruction because

2249
01:56:17,680 --> 01:56:21,240
Speaker 1: that's all they have. They can't talk about the disastrous

2250
01:56:21,240 --> 01:56:24,640
Speaker 1: results of their policies. The forty your high inflation, the

2251
01:56:24,720 --> 01:56:27,120
Speaker 1: record gas prices, and by the way, in Wisconsin here

2252
01:56:26,960 --> 01:56:30,080
Speaker 1: they're back up about four bucks a gallon, So people

2253
01:56:30,120 --> 01:56:32,160
Speaker 1: are feeling at the fay and the pump. They can't

2254
01:56:32,200 --> 01:56:35,120
Speaker 1: built their gas tank or the grocery cards. So we

2255
01:56:35,240 --> 01:56:37,840
Speaker 1: just focus on those issues. But they've told you guys

2256
01:56:37,840 --> 01:56:41,000
Speaker 1: in the past, it's more fundamental than that. People here

2257
01:56:41,000 --> 01:56:44,120
Speaker 1: in Wisconsin because the indoctrination of our children, they're teaching

2258
01:56:44,200 --> 01:56:48,320
Speaker 1: critical race theory, transgenderism. People are just afraid we're losing

2259
01:56:48,760 --> 01:56:50,640
Speaker 1: what we have going for us here in this country.

2260
01:56:50,840 --> 01:56:54,720
Speaker 1: We're just losing our culture. I think that's well said,

2261
01:56:55,600 --> 01:56:57,960
Speaker 1: and I think it's very accurate. And Buck and I

2262
01:56:58,000 --> 01:57:00,520
Speaker 1: have been fighting on this ever since we came together

2263
01:57:00,600 --> 01:57:05,360
Speaker 1: getting ready for Tuesday. You have been in the minority

2264
01:57:05,520 --> 01:57:08,560
Speaker 1: because Kamala Harris has the tie breaking vote in the Senate.

2265
01:57:09,120 --> 01:57:13,440
Speaker 1: Presuming that you win reelection and Republicans take control of

2266
01:57:13,480 --> 01:57:17,840
Speaker 1: the Senate. How much does Washington, DC change for people

2267
01:57:17,840 --> 01:57:19,840
Speaker 1: out there who may not understand. I think it's important

2268
01:57:19,880 --> 01:57:22,640
Speaker 1: to keep hammering this home. The difference between being in

2269
01:57:22,680 --> 01:57:25,320
Speaker 1: the Senate majority and being in the Senate minority is

2270
01:57:25,360 --> 01:57:27,800
Speaker 1: what from the perspective of what you can do at

2271
01:57:27,840 --> 01:57:31,080
Speaker 1: your job. But what we can do is we can

2272
01:57:31,200 --> 01:57:35,560
Speaker 1: stop confirming these radical leftists that he's installing these agencies

2273
01:57:36,000 --> 01:57:39,600
Speaker 1: that are running rough shot over the private sector. The

2274
01:57:39,640 --> 01:57:41,360
Speaker 1: other thing we have to do, and this is something

2275
01:57:41,600 --> 01:57:44,600
Speaker 1: I need to get the Republican Leasik to commit to,

2276
01:57:44,760 --> 01:57:48,120
Speaker 1: is restoring function to Congress. And by then I'm talking

2277
01:57:48,160 --> 01:57:52,440
Speaker 1: about a budget process that actually drives an appropriation process,

2278
01:57:52,440 --> 01:57:55,840
Speaker 1: so we can start getting this out of control death

2279
01:57:55,880 --> 01:57:58,880
Speaker 1: suspending under control. And then over the next two years

2280
01:57:58,880 --> 01:58:01,520
Speaker 1: we also have to lay out our game plan if

2281
01:58:01,560 --> 01:58:03,720
Speaker 1: we win in twenty twenty four. I mean, here's our

2282
01:58:03,760 --> 01:58:06,920
Speaker 1: agenda and to bring America back, And from my standpoint,

2283
01:58:06,920 --> 01:58:10,720
Speaker 1: it's energy independence, it's securing our border, it's a reasonable

2284
01:58:10,760 --> 01:58:14,560
Speaker 1: regulatory environment, it's a competitive taxus and a simple and

2285
01:58:14,600 --> 01:58:17,800
Speaker 1: more rational one. So we you know, for me, for me,

2286
01:58:18,160 --> 01:58:21,320
Speaker 1: less is more concentrate on what we have to do

2287
01:58:21,680 --> 01:58:25,280
Speaker 1: to bring strength back to America because everything the Democrats

2288
01:58:25,280 --> 01:58:27,760
Speaker 1: have done have weak in America. And you guys know

2289
01:58:27,840 --> 01:58:31,720
Speaker 1: this a particularly buck. When America is weak, the world

2290
01:58:31,760 --> 01:58:34,680
Speaker 1: is a far more dangerous place and people like Ukrainians

2291
01:58:34,720 --> 01:58:37,560
Speaker 1: are paying the price for American weakness because it attempts,

2292
01:58:37,560 --> 01:58:40,960
Speaker 1: tyrants y Vladimir Putin told commit his atrocities. So we

2293
01:58:41,600 --> 01:58:43,560
Speaker 1: have to unify and heal this nation. That's a goal

2294
01:58:43,600 --> 01:58:46,240
Speaker 1: at the President Biden set out for himself. He's done

2295
01:58:46,240 --> 01:58:48,440
Speaker 1: the exact opposite. Yeah, I wanted to ask you about

2296
01:58:48,440 --> 01:58:51,880
Speaker 1: that summer Johnson. He had a speech what two nights

2297
01:58:51,880 --> 01:58:55,000
Speaker 1: ago now in which it really just seemed to be

2298
01:58:55,960 --> 01:59:03,680
Speaker 1: admonishing and scolding Republican for election result denial and also

2299
01:59:03,880 --> 01:59:08,280
Speaker 1: the prospect of this amorphous concept of the political violence

2300
01:59:08,320 --> 01:59:10,160
Speaker 1: that's going to come on the right, but that really

2301
01:59:10,240 --> 01:59:13,000
Speaker 1: hasn't yet, but they say it will. And what is

2302
01:59:13,000 --> 01:59:18,200
Speaker 1: that all about. Well, it's a classic tactic of leftists,

2303
01:59:18,440 --> 01:59:22,320
Speaker 1: the accuser falsely accused their political opponents and doing exactly

2304
01:59:22,320 --> 01:59:24,920
Speaker 1: what they do. And so he really has become the

2305
01:59:24,960 --> 01:59:28,480
Speaker 1: divider in chief. We need to be healed, We need

2306
01:59:28,520 --> 01:59:31,600
Speaker 1: to be unified. As Lincoln said, house divided cannot stand.

2307
01:59:32,080 --> 01:59:35,240
Speaker 1: And the left and we have to understand this is

2308
01:59:35,280 --> 01:59:38,240
Speaker 1: the left that is angry, is the left that is

2309
01:59:38,560 --> 01:59:41,800
Speaker 1: divisted in this country. Somebody's got to be the adult

2310
01:59:41,800 --> 01:59:43,800
Speaker 1: in the room. And that's what I'm calling on Wisconsin

2311
01:59:43,920 --> 01:59:46,800
Speaker 1: Ice to do, is talk to their friends or family, neighbors,

2312
01:59:47,080 --> 01:59:50,080
Speaker 1: regardless of past party affiliation, and ask them to join

2313
01:59:50,160 --> 01:59:53,440
Speaker 1: us in healing, unifying, and saving this country. I think

2314
01:59:53,480 --> 01:59:56,760
Speaker 1: the last two elections you ran in the polls both

2315
01:59:56,760 --> 01:59:58,960
Speaker 1: had you losing. You can correct me if I'm wrong.

2316
02:00:00,680 --> 02:00:03,560
Speaker 1: Do you have any faith at all even now that

2317
02:00:03,640 --> 02:00:07,000
Speaker 1: the polls have you winning? Or are you just completely

2318
02:00:07,040 --> 02:00:10,240
Speaker 1: of the opinion that polls are worthless and until people

2319
02:00:10,280 --> 02:00:12,800
Speaker 1: start actually casting their votes and you can see the

2320
02:00:12,840 --> 02:00:15,640
Speaker 1: results yourself, that you don't get put a lot of

2321
02:00:15,640 --> 02:00:19,680
Speaker 1: faith in stock in them. Well, there is only one

2322
02:00:19,680 --> 02:00:23,680
Speaker 1: fold of counts s election day, and the only consistency

2323
02:00:23,680 --> 02:00:26,560
Speaker 1: in the polls on my races that they've been consistently wrong,

2324
02:00:26,640 --> 02:00:29,240
Speaker 1: but they've always been having me lose by wide margins.

2325
02:00:29,240 --> 02:00:32,720
Speaker 1: I think last cycle fifty six public opinion polls fifty

2326
02:00:32,720 --> 02:00:35,040
Speaker 1: two had me losing by an average they're out by

2327
02:00:35,040 --> 02:00:37,800
Speaker 1: an average of nine percentage points. So I think there

2328
02:00:37,880 --> 02:00:40,320
Speaker 1: is certainly a phenomenon when you have a president I say,

2329
02:00:40,320 --> 02:00:44,520
Speaker 1: it's calling Republicans semi fascist potential domestic terrorists. When we've

2330
02:00:44,560 --> 02:00:48,680
Speaker 1: seen the abuse of the folks that attended January sixth,

2331
02:00:49,600 --> 02:00:51,640
Speaker 1: Republments aren't aren't going to talk to somebody they don't

2332
02:00:51,640 --> 02:00:53,520
Speaker 1: know as a polster. So I got to believe there's

2333
02:00:53,560 --> 02:00:59,440
Speaker 1: some underpolling of conservatives and Republicans. But again, I always

2334
02:00:59,520 --> 02:01:02,480
Speaker 1: view elections in Wisconsin is dead. Even we're going to

2335
02:01:02,560 --> 02:01:04,600
Speaker 1: run through the tape again. That's why I'm traveling about

2336
02:01:04,600 --> 02:01:07,120
Speaker 1: four thousand miles here over the next to the last

2337
02:01:07,120 --> 02:01:09,160
Speaker 1: ten days, and we'll be doing more than sixty events.

2338
02:01:09,160 --> 02:01:11,680
Speaker 1: So we've got we've got to work hard, and we've

2339
02:01:11,680 --> 02:01:16,120
Speaker 1: got to win. It's gonna happen. It's gonna happen, Clay,

2340
02:01:16,160 --> 02:01:18,840
Speaker 1: I'm looking forward to it. Yeah, you gotta go ahead. Yeah. Well,

2341
02:01:18,880 --> 02:01:21,320
Speaker 1: I also wanted to ask you this. Senator Bunck and

2342
02:01:21,400 --> 02:01:23,560
Speaker 1: I were talking earlier this week about the big I

2343
02:01:23,560 --> 02:01:27,280
Speaker 1: think it was the Intercept story about the collusion between

2344
02:01:27,400 --> 02:01:32,000
Speaker 1: big Tech and the Democrat Party, the Biden administration, the

2345
02:01:32,040 --> 02:01:35,960
Speaker 1: Biden campaign. I presume that you have had a chance

2346
02:01:36,000 --> 02:01:38,080
Speaker 1: to read some of those documents, and I imagine you

2347
02:01:38,120 --> 02:01:40,320
Speaker 1: have a lot of questions you'd like to ask as

2348
02:01:40,360 --> 02:01:44,000
Speaker 1: a member of the majority party in the Senate, potentially

2349
02:01:44,080 --> 02:01:48,160
Speaker 1: starting in January. But it feels to me like the

2350
02:01:48,400 --> 02:01:52,120
Speaker 1: biggest single story that exists in America today, right now

2351
02:01:52,680 --> 02:01:55,840
Speaker 1: is the direct collusion between big tech companies and the

2352
02:01:55,920 --> 02:01:59,960
Speaker 1: Biden administration. This is a direct threat to all America

2353
02:02:00,040 --> 02:02:02,200
Speaker 1: and democracy, if you really want to talk about threats

2354
02:02:02,240 --> 02:02:05,080
Speaker 1: to democracy. It also ties in with something suspicious that

2355
02:02:05,160 --> 02:02:09,120
Speaker 1: involved you, which is the briefing that you supposedly got

2356
02:02:09,640 --> 02:02:13,080
Speaker 1: about Russian disinformation and everything else that they then leaked

2357
02:02:13,160 --> 02:02:16,560
Speaker 1: that you had received. Where did this all come from?

2358
02:02:16,600 --> 02:02:20,960
Speaker 1: Shouldn't somebody have to answer for it? Well, it dates

2359
02:02:21,000 --> 02:02:24,160
Speaker 1: back to when radical leftists took over our universe systems

2360
02:02:24,160 --> 02:02:27,200
Speaker 1: and the control college journalism. So we don't have very

2361
02:02:27,240 --> 02:02:30,320
Speaker 1: many journalist anymore. We have advocates, and they're the leftist

2362
02:02:30,320 --> 02:02:33,400
Speaker 1: there advocates from the Democrat party. And so if we

2363
02:02:33,480 --> 02:02:38,240
Speaker 1: had an unbiased media holding both sides accountable, we wouldn't

2364
02:02:38,240 --> 02:02:40,600
Speaker 1: have the corruption in the FBI. We would have had

2365
02:02:40,600 --> 02:02:46,880
Speaker 1: those fifty one intelligence officials basically enacting their own intelligence operation,

2366
02:02:47,680 --> 02:02:50,440
Speaker 1: covering up for Hunter Biden in his laptop. So no,

2367
02:02:50,640 --> 02:02:54,440
Speaker 1: I hold the press greatly responsible for the vision of

2368
02:02:54,440 --> 02:02:59,080
Speaker 1: this country. We need to hold them accountable. But I

2369
02:02:59,160 --> 02:03:03,360
Speaker 1: need this law suit by Missouri and Louisiana I think

2370
02:03:03,480 --> 02:03:07,200
Speaker 1: is fascinating the fact that they were granted exhamited discovery,

2371
02:03:07,640 --> 02:03:11,640
Speaker 1: very unusual in the court order. Basic thing. They've already

2372
02:03:11,680 --> 02:03:15,920
Speaker 1: proven the collusion, so watch that one very carefully. And

2373
02:03:15,960 --> 02:03:18,000
Speaker 1: that's another thing that we will absolutely do if we

2374
02:03:18,320 --> 02:03:21,160
Speaker 1: regain majorities. And for example, if I'm chairman of the

2375
02:03:21,200 --> 02:03:25,040
Speaker 1: Permanent sub to Me Investigations, you can rest assured that

2376
02:03:25,120 --> 02:03:28,080
Speaker 1: I'm going to do everything I can to expose truth

2377
02:03:28,480 --> 02:03:32,480
Speaker 1: in so many areas. Senator Johnson, we know you're doing well.

2378
02:03:32,520 --> 02:03:34,040
Speaker 1: But if you need any help, or if you just

2379
02:03:34,040 --> 02:03:36,200
Speaker 1: want people more involved in your campaign, where should they go.

2380
02:03:37,680 --> 02:03:40,360
Speaker 1: It's Ron Johnson percenta dot com. I have been able

2381
02:03:40,400 --> 02:03:41,960
Speaker 1: to spent two to one over the last three or

2382
02:03:41,960 --> 02:03:45,240
Speaker 1: four weeks, so let us keep our ads up. Three

2383
02:03:45,280 --> 02:03:46,840
Speaker 1: election day, we got to run through the tape. So

2384
02:03:47,000 --> 02:03:51,640
Speaker 1: Ron Johnson percenta dot com. Yeah, absolutely. Look the margins,

2385
02:03:51,920 --> 02:03:54,320
Speaker 1: thank you, Senator Johnson. You know, Clay, the margins of

2386
02:03:54,400 --> 02:03:58,000
Speaker 1: victory here all matter as well. And the more places

2387
02:03:58,080 --> 02:04:02,320
Speaker 1: we can get six a ten point wins in supposedly

2388
02:04:02,480 --> 02:04:07,720
Speaker 1: battleground states, the better. Obviously, that creates a lot of momentum. Also,

2389
02:04:07,840 --> 02:04:09,880
Speaker 1: it does away with a lot of the concerns out there,

2390
02:04:09,880 --> 02:04:12,520
Speaker 1: the shenanigans. A lot of you continue to reach out,

2391
02:04:12,560 --> 02:04:15,440
Speaker 1: and we understand a lot of people who are saying, hey,

2392
02:04:15,800 --> 02:04:18,680
Speaker 1: I don't trust the results, And all Buck and Eye

2393
02:04:18,680 --> 02:04:22,240
Speaker 1: would say is do everything you can at a minimum,

2394
02:04:22,280 --> 02:04:25,640
Speaker 1: that's vote, and we want to run up the score

2395
02:04:25,720 --> 02:04:28,760
Speaker 1: to such an extent that if there is funny business,

2396
02:04:29,720 --> 02:04:32,400
Speaker 1: you can't get an official to be able to change

2397
02:04:32,440 --> 02:04:35,600
Speaker 1: the outcome. If you win by fifty points, even if

2398
02:04:35,600 --> 02:04:37,840
Speaker 1: an officials making three or four calls that aren't the

2399
02:04:37,920 --> 02:04:40,800
Speaker 1: right call, then it doesn't end up changing the outcome

2400
02:04:40,800 --> 02:04:43,840
Speaker 1: of the game. We want such big wins that it

2401
02:04:44,000 --> 02:04:46,480
Speaker 1: is not in that margin of error, not in that

2402
02:04:46,560 --> 02:04:50,520
Speaker 1: margin of uncertainty. We want the tsunami. You have to

2403
02:04:50,520 --> 02:04:53,960
Speaker 1: show up and vote, even if you are nervous about

2404
02:04:54,000 --> 02:04:56,320
Speaker 1: what might happen on election night. You know, there's a

2405
02:04:56,320 --> 02:04:58,760
Speaker 1: newer way for gun owners these days to practice they're

2406
02:04:58,760 --> 02:05:00,800
Speaker 1: shooting without happening to go to the range and go

2407
02:05:00,840 --> 02:05:03,880
Speaker 1: through a lot of expensive ammo's with a dry ammo

2408
02:05:03,960 --> 02:05:07,800
Speaker 1: training tool, dry fire tool called Mantis X dry fire

2409
02:05:07,840 --> 02:05:11,440
Speaker 1: practice that allows you to train at home and at

2410
02:05:11,440 --> 02:05:14,640
Speaker 1: no additional cost. Mantis X is a firearms training system.

2411
02:05:14,640 --> 02:05:19,640
Speaker 1: It's no amo, all electronic, and it really helps shooters

2412
02:05:19,640 --> 02:05:23,000
Speaker 1: improve their accuracy. It simply attaches to your firearm like

2413
02:05:23,000 --> 02:05:25,520
Speaker 1: a weapon light. You can use it at home or

2414
02:05:25,560 --> 02:05:28,680
Speaker 1: the range instead of using expensive I'm sorry, I use

2415
02:05:28,680 --> 02:05:30,920
Speaker 1: it at home or at the range, but not using

2416
02:05:30,960 --> 02:05:33,560
Speaker 1: expensive AMMO at the range. I've got one at home already.

2417
02:05:33,560 --> 02:05:35,760
Speaker 1: It's a great set up, a phenomenal device, and my

2418
02:05:35,800 --> 02:05:37,720
Speaker 1: shooting is going to be improving so much in the

2419
02:05:37,760 --> 02:05:41,120

2433
02:06:24,280 --> 02:06:28,760
Speaker 1: Countdown to Election Day podcast. Senator Rand Paul with us

2434
02:06:28,800 --> 02:06:32,480
Speaker 1: now from Kentucky. Senator Paul, I always appreciate your calling

2435
02:06:32,520 --> 02:06:35,480
Speaker 1: in making the time for us. Hi, guys, thanks for

2436
02:06:35,560 --> 02:06:38,840
Speaker 1: having me so. Senator Paul, you know, giving the coverage

2437
02:06:38,920 --> 02:06:43,720
Speaker 1: over the weekend of this assault on Paul Pelosi, which

2438
02:06:43,760 --> 02:06:48,000
Speaker 1: you immediately condemned. Clay and I can't help but notice

2439
02:06:48,120 --> 02:06:52,640
Speaker 1: that the media was going into overdrive to make this

2440
02:06:53,200 --> 02:06:58,520
Speaker 1: somehow an indictment of the entire Republican Party, demanding condemnations everywhere.

2441
02:06:59,040 --> 02:07:03,200
Speaker 1: You were assaulted by your neighbor in your yard because

2442
02:07:03,240 --> 02:07:05,320
Speaker 1: of who you are and what your politics are. You're

2443
02:07:05,320 --> 02:07:08,480
Speaker 1: a Republican. You also were at at that field where

2444
02:07:08,480 --> 02:07:12,760
Speaker 1: Hodgkinson was shooting at and shot numerous members of Congress,

2445
02:07:13,080 --> 02:07:17,000
Speaker 1: including hitting Steve Scalise. Is the treatment of this just

2446
02:07:17,080 --> 02:07:20,800
Speaker 1: so disparate in the media that you know, what do

2447
02:07:20,880 --> 02:07:23,960
Speaker 1: you make of it? You know, I think by them

2448
02:07:24,000 --> 02:07:28,440
Speaker 1: immediately wanting to politicize this tragedy, they really lose track

2449
02:07:28,480 --> 02:07:30,760
Speaker 1: of the sight that you know, he was severely beating

2450
02:07:30,760 --> 02:07:32,280
Speaker 1: it was hit with a hammer in the head. Can

2451
02:07:32,280 --> 02:07:35,920
Speaker 1: you imagine your eighty year old parents that happening to them,

2452
02:07:35,960 --> 02:07:37,920
Speaker 1: and what it must feel like in someone in your

2453
02:07:37,920 --> 02:07:40,640
Speaker 1: family attacked. It was the same when I was attacked,

2454
02:07:40,640 --> 02:07:42,760
Speaker 1: and it still to this day. Nobody sees me as

2455
02:07:42,760 --> 02:07:45,440
Speaker 1: a person or the suffering that I went through. You know,

2456
02:07:45,480 --> 02:07:48,040
Speaker 1: I went through months and months racked in pain, I

2457
02:07:48,080 --> 02:07:50,840
Speaker 1: could barely breathe, my lungs filled up with fluid, I

2458
02:07:50,880 --> 02:07:54,400
Speaker 1: had pneumonia multiple times. I finally had surgery to move

2459
02:07:54,440 --> 02:07:57,360
Speaker 1: part of my lung. And yet online today, even my

2460
02:07:57,440 --> 02:08:01,760
Speaker 1: political opponent still makes he creates ads mocking and celebrating

2461
02:08:01,760 --> 02:08:04,520
Speaker 1: the attack that happened to me. People who work in

2462
02:08:04,600 --> 02:08:08,560
Speaker 1: his campaign actually say that the person who attacked me

2463
02:08:08,600 --> 02:08:11,080
Speaker 1: as their hero. But these are the same left wing

2464
02:08:11,160 --> 02:08:13,960
Speaker 1: people who then say, oh, this is about Maga or

2465
02:08:14,000 --> 02:08:16,600
Speaker 1: about Trump or something. I don't know who it's about,

2466
02:08:16,600 --> 02:08:18,560
Speaker 1: but I think at the very least we should have

2467
02:08:18,600 --> 02:08:21,280
Speaker 1: sympathy for Paul Pelosi and say, my goodness, is this

2468
02:08:21,440 --> 02:08:23,760
Speaker 1: horrible what happened to him, and wish him a speedy recovery,

2469
02:08:23,800 --> 02:08:27,440
Speaker 1: instead of you know, everybody immediately thinking, oh the left

2470
02:08:27,520 --> 02:08:29,680
Speaker 1: wants to politicize as the right makes fun of it,

2471
02:08:29,720 --> 02:08:32,280
Speaker 1: and it's like, give the guy a break. He got

2472
02:08:32,360 --> 02:08:34,800
Speaker 1: hit in the head with a hammer. How awful, and

2473
02:08:34,840 --> 02:08:38,120
Speaker 1: we should be thankful he's alive. Senator Paul, I don't

2474
02:08:38,120 --> 02:08:39,840
Speaker 1: know if you've had a chance to see this yet,

2475
02:08:40,320 --> 02:08:44,120
Speaker 1: but there is a story out there saying that, and

2476
02:08:44,320 --> 02:08:46,360
Speaker 1: I don't know, I know it's not going to surprise you,

2477
02:08:46,400 --> 02:08:49,840
Speaker 1: but that our government was actively meeting with all of

2478
02:08:49,880 --> 02:08:53,640
Speaker 1: these big tech companies and defining what was and was

2479
02:08:53,720 --> 02:08:57,320
Speaker 1: not considered to be misinformation, disinformation and an effort to

2480
02:08:57,440 --> 02:09:01,160
Speaker 1: censor the truth as both part of the twenty election

2481
02:09:01,280 --> 02:09:05,120
Speaker 1: and since the Biden administration has taken over, that interaction

2482
02:09:05,240 --> 02:09:08,840
Speaker 1: has grown even more. Does it surprise you how much

2483
02:09:08,960 --> 02:09:12,120
Speaker 1: do Republicans, if we take back the House and the Senate,

2484
02:09:12,160 --> 02:09:16,200
Speaker 1: need to be examining this unholy connection that basically flies

2485
02:09:16,200 --> 02:09:18,120
Speaker 1: directly in the face of the First Amendment because the

2486
02:09:18,160 --> 02:09:21,800
Speaker 1: government can't censor itself, but if it deputizes big tech

2487
02:09:21,880 --> 02:09:24,320
Speaker 1: to do it, that's kind of a monster loophole that

2488
02:09:24,360 --> 02:09:28,680
Speaker 1: they've created. Yeah, I'm horrified by this, and I'm actively

2489
02:09:29,040 --> 02:09:33,200
Speaker 1: doing legislation, putting together legislation to stop this. There are

2490
02:09:33,280 --> 02:09:36,280
Speaker 1: First Amendment concerns with trying to restrict what big tech

2491
02:09:36,320 --> 02:09:39,160
Speaker 1: can do but we certainly can restrict what government can do.

2492
02:09:39,720 --> 02:09:42,880
Speaker 1: My legislation will make it illegal for the government to

2493
02:09:42,920 --> 02:09:47,400
Speaker 1: collude or cooperate or to work to censor any information.

2494
02:09:47,760 --> 02:09:50,200
Speaker 1: I'm going to make it absolutely illegal. The government will

2495
02:09:50,200 --> 02:09:52,839
Speaker 1: not be allowed to do this. So it doesn't necessarily

2496
02:09:52,920 --> 02:09:56,040
Speaker 1: regulate big tech that it regulates government's interaction with them.

2497
02:09:56,520 --> 02:09:59,680
Speaker 1: We also want to regulate government's ability to buy information

2498
02:09:59,760 --> 02:10:03,640
Speaker 1: on it citizens. The problem is is that government has prisons,

2499
02:10:03,720 --> 02:10:07,280
Speaker 1: government has agents that are armed that can come arrescue,

2500
02:10:07,280 --> 02:10:10,680
Speaker 1: and they can basically take away your freedom. So they

2501
02:10:10,680 --> 02:10:14,480
Speaker 1: should not have information like you know, the Minority Report,

2502
02:10:14,520 --> 02:10:19,040
Speaker 1: when the precogs could determine information in advance. There's so

2503
02:10:19,120 --> 02:10:21,360
Speaker 1: much information out there about us, and some of it

2504
02:10:21,480 --> 02:10:23,240
Speaker 1: sold for you know, you look at a pair of

2505
02:10:23,240 --> 02:10:25,760
Speaker 1: shoes online, you're going to get advertisement for shoes. That's

2506
02:10:25,760 --> 02:10:28,040
Speaker 1: the way the internet works. And it's very hard to

2507
02:10:28,080 --> 02:10:31,320
Speaker 1: regulate that. But we can regulate to government, and I

2508
02:10:31,320 --> 02:10:34,800
Speaker 1: think we should have draconian regulation of the government about

2509
02:10:34,800 --> 02:10:38,200
Speaker 1: buying our personal information and about colluding to censor our

2510
02:10:38,240 --> 02:10:40,360
Speaker 1: speech or to determine what the truth is, or have

2511
02:10:40,480 --> 02:10:43,240
Speaker 1: any sort of ministry of truth. So yes, we will

2512
02:10:43,320 --> 02:10:46,440
Speaker 1: fight this, but there's been I think some debate back

2513
02:10:46,480 --> 02:10:49,240
Speaker 1: and forth how best to do it, and some conservatives,

2514
02:10:49,280 --> 02:10:51,200
Speaker 1: I think have succumbed to the idea of the government

2515
02:10:51,240 --> 02:10:54,560
Speaker 1: having a board to determine what kind of speech is okay.

2516
02:10:54,560 --> 02:10:56,840
Speaker 1: And I don't want the government within ten miles of

2517
02:10:56,960 --> 02:11:00,960
Speaker 1: any kind of boards that would determine speech be Senator

2518
02:11:01,040 --> 02:11:05,879
Speaker 1: Rand Paul, Senator Elon Musk's purchase of Twitter has certainly

2519
02:11:06,480 --> 02:11:08,760
Speaker 1: upset a lot of people on the left, a lot

2520
02:11:08,760 --> 02:11:12,440
Speaker 1: of Democrats who clearly like the power to censor ideas

2521
02:11:12,440 --> 02:11:16,040
Speaker 1: that they don't like. There are some who are I

2522
02:11:16,040 --> 02:11:18,680
Speaker 1: would put myself in this category, are hoping will get

2523
02:11:18,720 --> 02:11:25,520
Speaker 1: greater transparency not just about Twitter's censorship practices, in partisan

2524
02:11:25,600 --> 02:11:29,600
Speaker 1: censorship practices, but that also will find out more about

2525
02:11:29,640 --> 02:11:33,080
Speaker 1: whether there are any people from the government who were

2526
02:11:33,120 --> 02:11:36,480
Speaker 1: involved in pushing that. What is the redress for that,

2527
02:11:36,560 --> 02:11:39,640
Speaker 1: I mean, what actually, what do you think happens? Essentially,

2528
02:11:40,360 --> 02:11:43,080
Speaker 1: was the twenty twenty election if we find out that

2529
02:11:43,120 --> 02:11:46,280
Speaker 1: there were FBI agents and other people involved, and whether

2530
02:11:46,320 --> 02:11:50,520
Speaker 1: it's Facebook or Twitter, were these was that election unduly

2531
02:11:50,560 --> 02:11:55,600
Speaker 1: influenced by government actors through social media companies? You know,

2532
02:11:55,680 --> 02:11:58,360
Speaker 1: Republicans first have to win the election, win the House

2533
02:11:58,440 --> 02:12:01,120
Speaker 1: and or the Senate. When that happens, and when we

2534
02:12:01,160 --> 02:12:03,720
Speaker 1: have the chairmanship of the committees, then we can investigate this.

2535
02:12:04,280 --> 02:12:06,400
Speaker 1: But yes, we need to know what happened, what kind

2536
02:12:06,440 --> 02:12:09,440
Speaker 1: of information is being bought and sold, and what kind

2537
02:12:09,480 --> 02:12:12,040
Speaker 1: of manipulation of the truth is happening. But there's some

2538
02:12:12,080 --> 02:12:14,680
Speaker 1: worrisome things out there. And here's what their response will be.

2539
02:12:15,040 --> 02:12:17,640
Speaker 1: We've been doing this since nine to eleven, and after

2540
02:12:17,760 --> 02:12:19,839
Speaker 1: nine to eleven we let our guard down. The Patriot

2541
02:12:19,840 --> 02:12:23,160
Speaker 1: Act was passed. Many conservatives supported it and said, well,

2542
02:12:23,520 --> 02:12:26,240
Speaker 1: we've got to do this to be safe. And my

2543
02:12:26,400 --> 02:12:29,480
Speaker 1: father warned at the time, he said, ultimately the Patriot

2544
02:12:29,480 --> 02:12:31,600
Speaker 1: Act will be used on its own citizens. It's not

2545
02:12:31,680 --> 02:12:33,880
Speaker 1: our worry about being used against terrorism, but it would

2546
02:12:33,880 --> 02:12:36,240
Speaker 1: be used against its own citizens. And then they used

2547
02:12:36,280 --> 02:12:39,160
Speaker 1: it on Donald Trump in twenty sixteen. So what they

2548
02:12:39,160 --> 02:12:42,560
Speaker 1: will tell you is that disinformation boards and they told

2549
02:12:42,600 --> 02:12:45,440
Speaker 1: us that when we had this debate recently. The disinformation

2550
02:12:45,480 --> 02:12:47,240
Speaker 1: board has been there since nine to eleven. They do

2551
02:12:47,320 --> 02:12:49,120
Speaker 1: this all the time. Now, it doesn't make it right,

2552
02:12:49,480 --> 02:12:52,200
Speaker 1: but that's their justification. So I think we have to

2553
02:12:52,240 --> 02:12:54,760
Speaker 1: change the law. We have to get the government out

2554
02:12:54,800 --> 02:12:58,600
Speaker 1: of this information business of determining what truth is and

2555
02:12:58,640 --> 02:13:00,840
Speaker 1: having the government for the arbor or of truth. But

2556
02:13:00,880 --> 02:13:02,960
Speaker 1: it's going to have to be made illegal, and I

2557
02:13:03,000 --> 02:13:05,120
Speaker 1: think we have every right to do that. It's once

2558
02:13:05,160 --> 02:13:07,840
Speaker 1: again harder to regulate big tech and be consistent with

2559
02:13:07,880 --> 02:13:10,600
Speaker 1: the First Amendment. But I think there are no limits

2560
02:13:10,680 --> 02:13:13,360
Speaker 1: to the regulations we can put on government. So I

2561
02:13:13,400 --> 02:13:15,560
Speaker 1: think we need to shift the focus and start putting

2562
02:13:15,560 --> 02:13:19,440
Speaker 1: fort rules to say the government can't collude to limit speech.

2563
02:13:19,800 --> 02:13:22,040
Speaker 1: They can't collude. I mean, look at what they did

2564
02:13:22,120 --> 02:13:25,160
Speaker 1: with the whole hundred Biden story to completely say that

2565
02:13:25,240 --> 02:13:30,640
Speaker 1: this was misinformation. They change the discussion and the debate

2566
02:13:30,680 --> 02:13:34,400
Speaker 1: that would have been big during the last election. In

2567
02:13:34,480 --> 02:13:38,400
Speaker 1: all possibilities, they may well have influenced the election by

2568
02:13:38,440 --> 02:13:41,040
Speaker 1: what they did over what information has allowed out there.

2569
02:13:41,320 --> 02:13:43,160
Speaker 1: So we've better get the government out of this business.

2570
02:13:43,680 --> 02:13:45,760
Speaker 1: But I think we have to define how we're going

2571
02:13:45,840 --> 02:13:48,320
Speaker 1: to do it. Into my mind, it hasn't been put

2572
02:13:48,360 --> 02:13:50,880
Speaker 1: forward yet. So my office is working on the legislation

2573
02:13:51,640 --> 02:13:54,600
Speaker 1: that will regulate government and keep government out of this business.

2574
02:13:55,040 --> 02:13:57,920
Speaker 1: We're talking to Senator and Paul, I believe on correct Senator,

2575
02:13:57,960 --> 02:14:01,120
Speaker 1: you're up for reelection in eight days, certainly encourage everyone

2576
02:14:01,160 --> 02:14:03,360
Speaker 1: listening to us in Kentucky to go vote for you.

2577
02:14:03,360 --> 02:14:07,160
Speaker 1: You mentioned earlier, the House and or the Senate House

2578
02:14:07,240 --> 02:14:09,839
Speaker 1: looks very good based on all the numbers i'm seeing,

2579
02:14:09,920 --> 02:14:15,480
Speaker 1: I'm guessing that you're getting fairly up to date refreshers

2580
02:14:15,520 --> 02:14:18,560
Speaker 1: on how the races are looking nationwide in the Senate.

2581
02:14:18,920 --> 02:14:21,280
Speaker 1: What do you see in the Senate and who would

2582
02:14:21,320 --> 02:14:24,160
Speaker 1: you tell our audience right now? Hey, you guys really

2583
02:14:24,200 --> 02:14:26,960
Speaker 1: need to go out and support these guys or these girls.

2584
02:14:27,040 --> 02:14:30,640
Speaker 1: How does it look? You know, the wind is behind us.

2585
02:14:30,800 --> 02:14:34,320
Speaker 1: The Democrats can't escape inflation. It's everywhere, a price of gas,

2586
02:14:34,360 --> 02:14:37,320
Speaker 1: price of eggs, press of meat, grocery store, this and that,

2587
02:14:37,560 --> 02:14:40,560
Speaker 1: the economy, the loss of your savings, and then all

2588
02:14:40,600 --> 02:14:44,280
Speaker 1: the senior citizens who are having trouble purchasing their daily

2589
02:14:44,320 --> 02:14:46,560
Speaker 1: goods and their loss of purchasing power. So I think

2590
02:14:46,560 --> 02:14:49,240
Speaker 1: the wind is behind us. There are several close races,

2591
02:14:49,240 --> 02:14:54,400
Speaker 1: but they've narrowed, if not shown Republicans going ahead. Republicans

2592
02:14:54,400 --> 02:14:56,640
Speaker 1: typically do a few points better than the polls because

2593
02:14:56,640 --> 02:15:00,400
Speaker 1: the polls either are purposely skewed or they just you know,

2594
02:15:00,480 --> 02:15:04,080
Speaker 1: can't find the truth in Wisconsin. When Ron Johnson won

2595
02:15:04,120 --> 02:15:06,400
Speaker 1: the last time, he was never better than minus three

2596
02:15:06,560 --> 02:15:09,840
Speaker 1: is my recollection. This time he's plus three to plus six.

2597
02:15:10,240 --> 02:15:12,200
Speaker 1: So I think Ron Johnson's in a better place. We

2598
02:15:12,240 --> 02:15:15,760
Speaker 1: need him because he's a fighter. We've got Arizona with

2599
02:15:15,840 --> 02:15:19,360
Speaker 1: black Master's dead even. We've got Adam lacked out a

2600
02:15:19,400 --> 02:15:22,080
Speaker 1: little bit of a head in Nevada, herschel Walker maybe

2601
02:15:22,080 --> 02:15:25,720
Speaker 1: a little bit ahead in Georgia Pennsylvania, I think dead even.

2602
02:15:26,320 --> 02:15:28,680
Speaker 1: So you know, we've got to keep them honest and

2603
02:15:28,760 --> 02:15:30,960
Speaker 1: how they count the votes. We've got to watch them

2604
02:15:31,000 --> 02:15:33,240
Speaker 1: like a hawk the whole time, and we have to

2605
02:15:33,280 --> 02:15:38,280
Speaker 1: turn our people out. But I'm very, very positive, you know,

2606
02:15:38,320 --> 02:15:39,640
Speaker 1: as far as what I think is going to happen

2607
02:15:39,640 --> 02:15:43,240
Speaker 1: in the election. And you know, we'll know more next Tuesday.

2608
02:15:43,240 --> 02:15:45,720
Speaker 1: Hopefully we know Tuesday, and we don't wait two weeks

2609
02:15:45,720 --> 02:15:48,480
Speaker 1: to keep counting votes. No kidding. What did you think

2610
02:15:48,480 --> 02:15:51,520
Speaker 1: by the way of the John Fetterman and doctor Oz debate.

2611
02:15:51,520 --> 02:15:53,200
Speaker 1: I don't know, if you've got a chance to watch it,

2612
02:15:54,680 --> 02:15:58,080
Speaker 1: you know, I can't imagine that somebody that impaired could

2613
02:15:58,160 --> 02:16:00,560
Speaker 1: serve in the Senate. Really, we've had people who are

2614
02:16:00,560 --> 02:16:03,640
Speaker 1: serving in office who had massive strokes and continue to

2615
02:16:03,640 --> 02:16:06,040
Speaker 1: serve until there was another election. And that's one thing,

2616
02:16:06,480 --> 02:16:09,520
Speaker 1: but to run for and begin an election and begin

2617
02:16:09,560 --> 02:16:12,280
Speaker 1: serving the Senate with that much impairment. Look, and it's

2618
02:16:12,320 --> 02:16:14,280
Speaker 1: not his fault. It's sad that he had a stroke,

2619
02:16:15,240 --> 02:16:18,600
Speaker 1: But you know, you combine the impairment with how left

2620
02:16:18,680 --> 02:16:21,640
Speaker 1: leaning is that this is a guy who really is

2621
02:16:21,720 --> 02:16:23,960
Speaker 1: part of the defund the police movement. This is a

2622
02:16:24,000 --> 02:16:28,320
Speaker 1: guy who's been you know, principal and active in releasing

2623
02:16:28,400 --> 02:16:32,640
Speaker 1: violent felons from jail. So no, I can't imagine that

2624
02:16:32,720 --> 02:16:36,160
Speaker 1: Pennsylvania elect him. But we'll see. We're going to find out,

2625
02:16:36,200 --> 02:16:39,360
Speaker 1: you know, in a week, Senator Ran Paul cannot wait

2626
02:16:39,400 --> 02:16:40,920
Speaker 1: to see what's going to happen in eight days. We

2627
02:16:40,920 --> 02:16:42,800
Speaker 1: hope you're going to have the power of subpoena in

2628
02:16:42,840 --> 02:16:45,599
Speaker 1: the Senate for sure. Thanks for taking the time with us.

2647
02:17:43,200 --> 02:17:48,279
Speaker 1: to Election Day podcast Intel for the informed voter. Eli Crane.

2648
02:17:48,320 --> 02:17:51,360
Speaker 1: He's a former Navy Seals, small business owner, husband, father,

2649
02:17:51,480 --> 02:17:55,640
Speaker 1: and native Arizonan. He's running for Congress in Arizona. Eli

2650
02:17:55,959 --> 02:17:58,720
Speaker 1: honor to have you back, sir, Hey guys, thanks for

2651
02:17:58,760 --> 02:18:00,720
Speaker 1: having me. I appreciate it. How are you looking at

2652
02:18:00,800 --> 02:18:03,280
Speaker 1: the final stretch here? And what do you need the

2653
02:18:03,280 --> 02:18:06,959
Speaker 1: folks of Arizona to know. Well, we're looking pretty good.

2654
02:18:07,879 --> 02:18:10,280
Speaker 1: You know, we've got playing that continues to show us

2655
02:18:10,360 --> 02:18:13,480
Speaker 1: up and increasing. I think what I need people to

2656
02:18:13,560 --> 02:18:17,360
Speaker 1: understand is is that this isn't about me. It's never

2657
02:18:17,400 --> 02:18:19,000
Speaker 1: been about me. It's a you know, this is a

2658
02:18:19,120 --> 02:18:22,480
Speaker 1: nationwide effort to try and turn this country around, and

2659
02:18:22,560 --> 02:18:25,879
Speaker 1: that starts with firing Nancy Pelosi. We're trying to flip

2660
02:18:26,320 --> 02:18:28,560
Speaker 1: a seat from blue to red. We're trying to take

2661
02:18:28,600 --> 02:18:31,440
Speaker 1: one of her rubber stamp votes away. Tom O'Halloran, I

2662
02:18:31,520 --> 02:18:33,600
Speaker 1: want people to know that he's voted for the Inflation

2663
02:18:33,879 --> 02:18:36,920
Speaker 1: Reduction Act eighty seven thousand i RS agents. When asked

2664
02:18:36,920 --> 02:18:40,320
Speaker 1: to defend that vote, he said, because the government needs

2665
02:18:40,360 --> 02:18:44,080
Speaker 1: more revenue streams. I don't believe the people of Arizona

2666
02:18:44,240 --> 02:18:46,520
Speaker 1: or the people of this country believes that this government

2667
02:18:46,560 --> 02:18:49,400
Speaker 1: needs more revenue streams. He's also voted for twelve hundred

2668
02:18:49,400 --> 02:18:55,000
Speaker 1: dollar illegal checks for illegal immigrants. He's voted, he's got

2669
02:18:55,000 --> 02:18:57,720
Speaker 1: an f rating with the NRA. He's been a politician

2670
02:18:57,720 --> 02:19:00,080
Speaker 1: for twenty years and he votes with Nancy Pelosi one

2671
02:19:00,120 --> 02:19:02,760
Speaker 1: hundred percent of the time. You know, I'm a former

2672
02:19:02,840 --> 02:19:06,800
Speaker 1: Navy seal, did five tours in the Navy, joined the

2673
02:19:06,879 --> 02:19:09,280
Speaker 1: Navy of the week after nine to eleven, started a

2674
02:19:09,280 --> 02:19:11,960
Speaker 1: small business with my wife where we made our products

2675
02:19:12,000 --> 02:19:14,560
Speaker 1: here in the United States of America. I'm endorsed by

2676
02:19:14,720 --> 02:19:18,400
Speaker 1: President Trump and a bunch of other amazing America first

2677
02:19:19,120 --> 02:19:22,840
Speaker 1: politicians and leaders in this country. And you know, I

2678
02:19:22,920 --> 02:19:25,080
Speaker 1: want to be a part of the change that I

2679
02:19:25,120 --> 02:19:29,200
Speaker 1: think is coming on Tuesday. Eli Arizona certainly is one

2680
02:19:29,240 --> 02:19:31,640
Speaker 1: of the top battleground states in all the country. You've

2681
02:19:31,640 --> 02:19:34,320
Speaker 1: got a governor's race, You've got a Senate race, your race.

2682
02:19:34,840 --> 02:19:37,960
Speaker 1: What are you seeing from Arizonans and what can people

2683
02:19:38,080 --> 02:19:40,760
Speaker 1: in your district? How can they help? How can people

2684
02:19:41,120 --> 02:19:43,760
Speaker 1: outside of your district in this nation who want to

2685
02:19:43,800 --> 02:19:47,920
Speaker 1: see you flip a Democrat set back to red. No,

2686
02:19:48,080 --> 02:19:50,960
Speaker 1: I appreciate it. I think the climate here in Arizona

2687
02:19:51,040 --> 02:19:54,959
Speaker 1: is very strong. I think people obviously need to do

2688
02:19:55,040 --> 02:19:58,480
Speaker 1: the bare minimum, and that's turnout to vote, you know,

2689
02:19:58,680 --> 02:20:01,360
Speaker 1: and a addition to that, make sure that friends and

2690
02:20:01,400 --> 02:20:04,480
Speaker 1: family members are going out to vote as well. And

2691
02:20:04,600 --> 02:20:07,000
Speaker 1: you know, I'm also asking people to continue to pray

2692
02:20:07,040 --> 02:20:09,400
Speaker 1: for this country and the candidates that are stepping up

2693
02:20:10,240 --> 02:20:13,600
Speaker 1: because I do believe that God honors those who honor

2694
02:20:13,680 --> 02:20:16,840
Speaker 1: him and and I think that that's one of the

2695
02:20:16,840 --> 02:20:19,960
Speaker 1: most powerful things we can do. Speaking of Eli Crane,

2696
02:20:20,000 --> 02:20:23,959
Speaker 1: former Navy seal running for Congress out there in Arizona,

2697
02:20:24,040 --> 02:20:27,560
Speaker 1: and Eli, you know, you're somebody who has been out

2698
02:20:27,600 --> 02:20:32,760
Speaker 1: there on the front lines and knows what violence actually is.

2699
02:20:33,200 --> 02:20:37,359
Speaker 1: When you're hearing all these pundits and even Democrat politicians

2700
02:20:37,720 --> 02:20:40,680
Speaker 1: talk about, you know, the threat of political violence from

2701
02:20:40,680 --> 02:20:43,960
Speaker 1: the right, just what is your reaction to this. We

2702
02:20:44,240 --> 02:20:47,280
Speaker 1: can see the transparent politics of it, but as somebody

2703
02:20:47,320 --> 02:20:50,280
Speaker 1: who's actually had to be out there and see what

2704
02:20:50,320 --> 02:20:52,560
Speaker 1: it means when people take up arms, it's got to

2705
02:20:52,600 --> 02:20:55,879
Speaker 1: be galling to hear that kind of rhetoric. Well, I

2706
02:20:55,959 --> 02:20:58,480
Speaker 1: just really hope that people of this country understand that

2707
02:20:58,520 --> 02:21:01,720
Speaker 1: we had eight Navy seals at least that I'm aware of,

2708
02:21:01,800 --> 02:21:05,200
Speaker 1: run for office this last time, and all we're running

2709
02:21:05,200 --> 02:21:09,360
Speaker 1: for Congress US Congress. That's that's never happened before. There's

2710
02:21:09,360 --> 02:21:12,039
Speaker 1: a reason that's happening. It's not because we all got

2711
02:21:12,080 --> 02:21:14,280
Speaker 1: together thought, Hey, wouldn't it be cute if all of

2712
02:21:14,320 --> 02:21:18,080
Speaker 1: us ran for office. We're trained to recognize threats. You know,

2713
02:21:18,200 --> 02:21:20,440
Speaker 1: we've all put our life on the line for this country,

2714
02:21:21,480 --> 02:21:24,080
Speaker 1: you know, in so many different ways, and we recognize

2715
02:21:24,120 --> 02:21:26,040
Speaker 1: that the biggest threat to this country right now is

2716
02:21:26,120 --> 02:21:29,679
Speaker 1: right here within. And so when I hear this administration

2717
02:21:29,800 --> 02:21:33,560
Speaker 1: talking about Republicans being a threat to democracy, to me,

2718
02:21:33,680 --> 02:21:36,400
Speaker 1: it's just the same game they've been playing where they

2719
02:21:36,440 --> 02:21:40,800
