1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:03,320
Speaker 1: Welcome to today's edition of the Clay Travis and Buck

2
00:00:03,360 --> 00:00:07,680
Speaker 1: Sexton Show podcast. Welcome in everybody. It is Wednesday, November ninth,

3
00:00:07,720 --> 00:00:11,680
Speaker 1: the day after the election. I've got a lot to

4
00:00:11,680 --> 00:00:14,480
Speaker 1: discuss with you here on Clay and Buck today. We

5
00:00:14,640 --> 00:00:17,599
Speaker 1: have seen most of certainly not all of the results,

6
00:00:18,400 --> 00:00:21,159
Speaker 1: and let's just put it out there right now. It

7
00:00:21,320 --> 00:00:24,480
Speaker 1: is not what we were hoping for. It was not

8
00:00:25,000 --> 00:00:30,840
Speaker 1: what the polls indicated as a red wave. And because

9
00:00:30,880 --> 00:00:34,519
Speaker 1: we still don't know the final outcome here for the

10
00:00:34,560 --> 00:00:37,040
Speaker 1: Senate or the House as we speak to you right now,

11
00:00:37,440 --> 00:00:43,000
Speaker 1: it's very tough to give an assessment as to exactly

12
00:00:43,560 --> 00:00:47,080
Speaker 1: where this falls and what happened last night, it is likely.

13
00:00:47,560 --> 00:00:49,440
Speaker 1: Let's just start with this one in Clay and I mean,

14
00:00:49,440 --> 00:00:51,560
Speaker 1: we were texting and to the we had a party

15
00:00:51,640 --> 00:00:56,639
Speaker 1: last night, which was fun. There was fun. Laura described

16
00:00:56,640 --> 00:00:58,960
Speaker 1: at my wife as the equivalent of going to the

17
00:00:59,000 --> 00:01:01,480
Speaker 1: super Bowl party. The team that loses the super Bowl

18
00:01:01,520 --> 00:01:04,320
Speaker 1: has the super Bowl now, so I mean, maybe a

19
00:01:04,360 --> 00:01:08,440
Speaker 1: little bit aggressive. She's not wrong, She's not wrong. So

20
00:01:08,560 --> 00:01:11,040
Speaker 1: let's let's let's dive into a few of the Let's

21
00:01:11,040 --> 00:01:14,759
Speaker 1: take stock of where we are, because there's an enormous

22
00:01:14,800 --> 00:01:20,080
Speaker 1: shift I think in perception for where this country is politically.

23
00:01:20,160 --> 00:01:24,040
Speaker 1: That is just filtering in right now. Well, I want

24
00:01:24,040 --> 00:01:26,040
Speaker 1: to start with this. I thought it was going to

25
00:01:26,080 --> 00:01:27,680
Speaker 1: be a much stronger night. Clay thought it was gonna

26
00:01:27,680 --> 00:01:29,840
Speaker 1: be much stronger night. In fact, I don't really know

27
00:01:30,000 --> 00:01:34,080
Speaker 1: anybody who didn't think it would be a very good

28
00:01:34,120 --> 00:01:37,160
Speaker 1: to even fantastic night for the GOP. And here's why

29
00:01:37,920 --> 00:01:40,600
Speaker 1: we had said. Poles had been wrong in the past.

30
00:01:41,000 --> 00:01:45,480
Speaker 1: They had been wrong in favor of Democrats in the past.

31
00:01:45,560 --> 00:01:49,400
Speaker 1: So it felt like there was a bias, a journalistic

32
00:01:49,480 --> 00:01:53,360
Speaker 1: bias or similar to a journalistic bias with polling, where

33
00:01:53,400 --> 00:01:55,800
Speaker 1: it always favors the Democrats. And so we had said

34
00:01:55,840 --> 00:01:58,320
Speaker 1: on this show in the last couple of weeks, unless

35
00:01:58,360 --> 00:02:01,600
Speaker 1: the polls for the first time I'm in the last

36
00:02:01,680 --> 00:02:06,400
Speaker 1: twenty years, dramatically favored Republicans versus reality, this is going

37
00:02:06,440 --> 00:02:11,520
Speaker 1: to be an amazing night. Unfortunately, the polls dramatically favored Republicans,

38
00:02:11,720 --> 00:02:14,280
Speaker 1: and we saw how this played out. There is so

39
00:02:14,400 --> 00:02:17,920
Speaker 1: much to unpack here. So polling had a terrible night.

40
00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:20,880
Speaker 1: Betting market, the betting markets are a good night, preposterous.

41
00:02:20,919 --> 00:02:22,639
Speaker 1: They had no idea what was going on. They were

42
00:02:22,639 --> 00:02:27,280
Speaker 1: wrong on everything, the pollsters preposterous, totally wrong. And now

43
00:02:27,320 --> 00:02:29,560
Speaker 1: we see in some places you'll say, okay, what was

44
00:02:29,639 --> 00:02:32,079
Speaker 1: up two points or up one point? Fine, there were

45
00:02:32,200 --> 00:02:35,239
Speaker 1: races where the Republican was supposed to be up six

46
00:02:35,320 --> 00:02:38,560
Speaker 1: points eight points, I mean dramatically and all of a sudden,

47
00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:41,000
Speaker 1: it's either a dead heat to this to this moment

48
00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:44,440
Speaker 1: in time, or it's something that just completely went in

49
00:02:44,440 --> 00:02:47,760
Speaker 1: the opposite direction. Let but let's start with let's start

50
00:02:47,760 --> 00:02:52,239
Speaker 1: with a positive. Let's start with the positive, because, my friends,

51
00:02:52,480 --> 00:02:55,640
Speaker 1: the two big positive notes that I have in my

52
00:02:55,760 --> 00:03:00,280
Speaker 1: head with all of this, RNDA Santis, the even or

53
00:03:00,320 --> 00:03:03,160
Speaker 1: of Florida came out early last night because they had

54
00:03:03,160 --> 00:03:05,440
Speaker 1: all the votes counted. Because it Florida. He won my

55
00:03:05,560 --> 00:03:09,080
Speaker 1: twenty points in Florida. Yeah, this is almost a miracle.

56
00:03:09,120 --> 00:03:12,560
Speaker 1: Now it is. It is a miracle built through the sweat,

57
00:03:12,880 --> 00:03:16,280
Speaker 1: hard work and genius of Desantists his team and what

58
00:03:16,320 --> 00:03:20,120
Speaker 1: has happened in Florida. But Florida is read and what

59
00:03:20,200 --> 00:03:23,480
Speaker 1: Desantists did in that state is incredible, and it's just

60
00:03:23,560 --> 00:03:26,799
Speaker 1: by getting it done, getting the results that's great. Clay

61
00:03:27,240 --> 00:03:31,960
Speaker 1: Congress looks likely the House of Representatives looks likely to

62
00:03:32,080 --> 00:03:36,760
Speaker 1: be Republican majority, but a slim a slim majority. And

63
00:03:36,840 --> 00:03:39,200
Speaker 1: it is not over yet. We do not know the

64
00:03:39,280 --> 00:03:42,440
Speaker 1: final dispensation of the Senate. Likely to come down to

65
00:03:42,480 --> 00:03:44,680
Speaker 1: a runoff in Georgia, so we might not even know

66
00:03:44,800 --> 00:03:48,880
Speaker 1: for another month. Clay, We're gonna be talking about this

67
00:03:48,960 --> 00:03:51,840
Speaker 1: for hours. Yes, what's your big what's your biggest your

68
00:03:52,040 --> 00:03:54,240
Speaker 1: what was keeping you up late last night? What keeps

69
00:03:54,240 --> 00:03:56,400
Speaker 1: you focused? And what keeps you feeling like there's a

70
00:03:56,440 --> 00:03:58,960
Speaker 1: future that we could actually look forward to. What kept

71
00:03:58,960 --> 00:04:01,560
Speaker 1: me up was the negative. So I'll tell people why

72
00:04:01,600 --> 00:04:04,120
Speaker 1: I couldn't sleep last night in a moment. But let

73
00:04:04,120 --> 00:04:07,880
Speaker 1: me build on your RHN De Santis analysis twenty point

74
00:04:07,920 --> 00:04:11,040
Speaker 1: went in Florida. He won in twenty eighteen by thirty

75
00:04:11,040 --> 00:04:14,760
Speaker 1: thousand votes. Buck. Here are some of the numbers according

76
00:04:14,800 --> 00:04:19,120
Speaker 1: to exit polling. Of who he won. Hispanic voters he

77
00:04:19,160 --> 00:04:22,320
Speaker 1: got fifty seven percent of the vote, Women voters he

78
00:04:22,400 --> 00:04:27,440
Speaker 1: got fifty two percent, suburban voters fifty eight percent, and

79
00:04:27,680 --> 00:04:31,880
Speaker 1: independent voters fifty two percent. Couple of other data points here.

80
00:04:32,920 --> 00:04:36,280
Speaker 1: His share of for instance, the Puerto Rican vote went

81
00:04:36,440 --> 00:04:40,040
Speaker 1: from thirty four percent of the electorate in twenty eighteen

82
00:04:40,520 --> 00:04:44,039
Speaker 1: to fifty five percent in twenty twenty two, and we

83
00:04:44,080 --> 00:04:47,640
Speaker 1: have a lot of listeners in South Florida flipped Miami

84
00:04:47,760 --> 00:04:53,720
Speaker 1: Dade read in a way that truly has not happened ever. Now.

85
00:04:54,080 --> 00:04:57,279
Speaker 1: Jeb Bush back in two thousand and two won Miami Dade,

86
00:04:57,480 --> 00:05:00,720
Speaker 1: but de Santis won it by more Marco Rubio one

87
00:05:01,000 --> 00:05:04,400
Speaker 1: the entire Republican Party. There is not I believe I'm

88
00:05:04,400 --> 00:05:08,880
Speaker 1: correcting this a statewide elected Democrat in the entire state

89
00:05:08,880 --> 00:05:11,080
Speaker 1: of Florida, which has never happened. What you saw last

90
00:05:11,160 --> 00:05:16,680
Speaker 1: night was the crowning, the culmination of the state of

91
00:05:16,760 --> 00:05:22,200
Speaker 1: Florida as the heartland of the GOP today. Now a

92
00:05:22,200 --> 00:05:26,080
Speaker 1: good result in Texas with Abbot ahead of Bedo by

93
00:05:26,400 --> 00:05:29,680
Speaker 1: ten points yea. So that was sumortable win, comfortable win.

94
00:05:30,240 --> 00:05:33,840
Speaker 1: But along the border there were some areas of particularly

95
00:05:33,920 --> 00:05:40,080
Speaker 1: of Hispanic predominant voters who went Democrat, which was a

96
00:05:40,120 --> 00:05:44,400
Speaker 1: big surprise. Matt Myra Flores did not win her congressional race,

97
00:05:44,839 --> 00:05:47,000
Speaker 1: So there were a couple of things that were not

98
00:05:47,440 --> 00:05:49,760
Speaker 1: It wasn't Florida in Texas last night, That's the best

99
00:05:49,800 --> 00:05:52,839
Speaker 1: way I can put it. And Florida, we saw those numbers,

100
00:05:53,160 --> 00:05:54,880
Speaker 1: it looked like there had to be a mistake Clay

101
00:05:54,880 --> 00:05:57,320
Speaker 1: when that number came in of twenty percent. Yeah, look,

102
00:05:57,920 --> 00:06:00,839
Speaker 1: Florida got the red tsunami. So I think if you're

103
00:06:00,839 --> 00:06:02,800
Speaker 1: out there and you're saying, okay, we were expecting a

104
00:06:02,839 --> 00:06:05,640
Speaker 1: red wave, I didn't see a single pole that ever

105
00:06:05,720 --> 00:06:09,280
Speaker 1: had de Santis winning by twenty bun he exceeded every

106
00:06:09,320 --> 00:06:13,360
Speaker 1: possible expectation in Florida. I think yesterday we were talking,

107
00:06:13,680 --> 00:06:16,159
Speaker 1: I said he might win by fifteen and that was

108
00:06:16,200 --> 00:06:19,159
Speaker 1: the highest number pole we had seen with DeSantis favored.

109
00:06:19,520 --> 00:06:21,560
Speaker 1: So what is staggering to me? And this is the

110
00:06:21,600 --> 00:06:24,279
Speaker 1: positive side is and we saw this certainly early in

111
00:06:24,320 --> 00:06:26,680
Speaker 1: the party that we were having, and I think a

112
00:06:26,720 --> 00:06:28,680
Speaker 1: lot of people in the Biden White House saw the

113
00:06:28,760 --> 00:06:30,680
Speaker 1: numbers that were coming out of Florida because they get

114
00:06:30,680 --> 00:06:34,160
Speaker 1: it out so quickly. We got the red tsunami in Florida.

115
00:06:34,200 --> 00:06:36,279
Speaker 1: And so I think for everybody out there who is

116
00:06:36,360 --> 00:06:40,760
Speaker 1: looking and who is disappointed, focusing on the positive, Florida

117
00:06:40,960 --> 00:06:44,600
Speaker 1: delivered what we expected to see across the whole country.

118
00:06:44,600 --> 00:06:46,640
Speaker 1: And I tweeted out, at some point, we need to

119
00:06:46,680 --> 00:06:51,120
Speaker 1: make America like Florida. Okay, so it's a wildly positive

120
00:06:51,240 --> 00:06:54,120
Speaker 1: night for Ron De Santis. I think if you are

121
00:06:54,240 --> 00:06:56,360
Speaker 1: of the opinion as you and I have been for

122
00:06:56,400 --> 00:07:00,200
Speaker 1: some time, that the twenty twenty four presidential content test

123
00:07:00,200 --> 00:07:02,640
Speaker 1: in the Republican Party is eventually going to come down

124
00:07:02,640 --> 00:07:07,120
Speaker 1: to two eight hundred pound gorillas, Donald Trump and Rhonda Santists,

125
00:07:07,120 --> 00:07:11,240
Speaker 1: throwing punches, grappling with each other, rolling around everywhere. To me,

126
00:07:11,840 --> 00:07:14,080
Speaker 1: this was a really good night for De Santists and

127
00:07:14,160 --> 00:07:16,120
Speaker 1: not a great night for Trump. The other thing, I

128
00:07:16,120 --> 00:07:18,480
Speaker 1: would say, that's a positive and this actually surprised me.

129
00:07:18,520 --> 00:07:24,360
Speaker 1: Buck New York. Now leez Eldon didn't win, but the

130
00:07:24,400 --> 00:07:28,040
Speaker 1: amount of down ticket strength that we are seeing in

131
00:07:28,120 --> 00:07:31,040
Speaker 1: New York in terms of congressional seat pickups. The head

132
00:07:31,040 --> 00:07:34,320
Speaker 1: of the D Triple C lost in a Biden plus

133
00:07:34,320 --> 00:07:37,440
Speaker 1: ten district in New York. That is, we got the

134
00:07:37,520 --> 00:07:39,880
Speaker 1: kind of the red tsunami red wave in New York.

135
00:07:40,200 --> 00:07:42,440
Speaker 1: We got it in Florida, we didn't get a very

136
00:07:42,440 --> 00:07:45,000
Speaker 1: many other places. And that's kind of staggering to New York.

137
00:07:45,240 --> 00:07:48,480
Speaker 1: Very well, May and this is gonna depend on Look,

138
00:07:48,480 --> 00:07:52,320
Speaker 1: we don't have final results, so we're assessing to use

139
00:07:52,480 --> 00:07:55,480
Speaker 1: a football analogy it's like they're still reviewing up in

140
00:07:55,520 --> 00:07:57,840
Speaker 1: the box and we're saying, well, this is how we're

141
00:07:57,840 --> 00:07:59,840
Speaker 1: looking at game fill after the third quarter, and we

142
00:08:00,000 --> 00:08:02,480
Speaker 1: still don't know, still don't right for sure, they're not

143
00:08:02,600 --> 00:08:05,600
Speaker 1: it's not clear who has Senate control as we speak

144
00:08:05,600 --> 00:08:08,240
Speaker 1: to you. The answer is we don't know who has

145
00:08:08,280 --> 00:08:12,720
Speaker 1: House control. The answer is probably seventy five percent Republican,

146
00:08:12,760 --> 00:08:16,600
Speaker 1: but it's not a hundred percent. So that's the place though,

147
00:08:16,640 --> 00:08:21,000
Speaker 1: where I think there was massive underperformance relative to what

148
00:08:21,080 --> 00:08:24,160
Speaker 1: the polling was showing and what we were hoping for

149
00:08:24,440 --> 00:08:27,040
Speaker 1: was in a lot of those key governor's races. Minnesota

150
00:08:27,120 --> 00:08:30,480
Speaker 1: the Democrat one Um I don't have they called Oregon

151
00:08:30,560 --> 00:08:33,000
Speaker 1: yet against Straysen. I don't know it's been called. But

152
00:08:33,040 --> 00:08:36,200
Speaker 1: she looks like she looks like she's just going to lose.

153
00:08:36,880 --> 00:08:41,680
Speaker 1: Um In obviously Michigan, Whittmer one, New York Hocal one.

154
00:08:42,000 --> 00:08:46,240
Speaker 1: Those are crushing because, especially with Whittmer and Hocal, there

155
00:08:46,280 --> 00:08:49,000
Speaker 1: was a there was the one opportunity for accountability for

156
00:08:49,040 --> 00:08:51,720
Speaker 1: the COVID madness. I don't think we're gonna be speaking

157
00:08:51,720 --> 00:08:53,840
Speaker 1: that much in the weeks and months ahead about the

158
00:08:53,920 --> 00:08:56,120
Speaker 1: craziness of lockdowns. And all the rest of it because

159
00:08:56,200 --> 00:08:59,640
Speaker 1: Blibs don't care. Triple mask him, give him fifteen shots.

160
00:09:00,200 --> 00:09:03,959
Speaker 1: Their kids have massive learning loss, you know, make them

161
00:09:03,960 --> 00:09:06,160
Speaker 1: mask up on if they like it. They might be abused.

162
00:09:06,400 --> 00:09:08,480
Speaker 1: They're they're they're fine with it. They have no problem

163
00:09:08,520 --> 00:09:10,400
Speaker 1: with it. Back to your New York point, though, and

164
00:09:10,440 --> 00:09:13,080
Speaker 1: back to where we are at the House Hoco one. Now,

165
00:09:13,200 --> 00:09:17,040
Speaker 1: Zelvin did better than any Republican in the governor's race

166
00:09:17,400 --> 00:09:21,520
Speaker 1: in what is it, at least ten or fifteen years,

167
00:09:21,520 --> 00:09:24,040
Speaker 1: I think the twenty first century, right, Well, sir, I'm

168
00:09:24,040 --> 00:09:28,080
Speaker 1: trying to think when Patakia last year, Pattaki would be when,

169
00:09:28,640 --> 00:09:31,080
Speaker 1: but he he did better than any Republican in a

170
00:09:31,120 --> 00:09:33,720
Speaker 1: long time. So credit to him for running. I mean,

171
00:09:33,720 --> 00:09:35,800
Speaker 1: this is like running in California almost. I mean, you

172
00:09:35,840 --> 00:09:39,000
Speaker 1: are two to one underdog there. So Lee ran a

173
00:09:39,000 --> 00:09:41,760
Speaker 1: good campaign. You might have four or five members of

174
00:09:41,800 --> 00:09:46,000
Speaker 1: Congress though in super tight congressional districts in New York

175
00:09:46,120 --> 00:09:50,959
Speaker 1: State that the GOP picks up, and that won't probably

176
00:09:51,000 --> 00:09:55,079
Speaker 1: be the absolute difference between Republican control, but it's gonna

177
00:09:55,120 --> 00:09:57,120
Speaker 1: be a major part of whatever that. You know, those

178
00:09:57,200 --> 00:09:59,719
Speaker 1: those four or five seats that could go red are

179
00:09:59,760 --> 00:10:02,560
Speaker 1: going to to be really critical to the Republican majority.

180
00:10:02,559 --> 00:10:05,360
Speaker 1: And look, assuming that we're heading for one and we

181
00:10:05,480 --> 00:10:08,400
Speaker 1: feel pretty confident, but look, Clay, how can we feel

182
00:10:08,400 --> 00:10:10,280
Speaker 1: confident and you feel confident in anything? Right now? Look,

183
00:10:10,440 --> 00:10:12,920
Speaker 1: look what happened in Arizona. We're talking more about this,

184
00:10:13,000 --> 00:10:15,679
Speaker 1: the mess that's going on there, and you and I,

185
00:10:15,760 --> 00:10:17,839
Speaker 1: you know, we live in different parts of the country.

186
00:10:17,880 --> 00:10:21,080
Speaker 1: We're talking to people everywhere. But ultimately, the only way

187
00:10:21,080 --> 00:10:22,680
Speaker 1: to really get a sense in some of these narrow

188
00:10:22,720 --> 00:10:25,480
Speaker 1: elections is the data. Yeah, that's all we've got. You know,

189
00:10:25,520 --> 00:10:27,240
Speaker 1: you bring a company to us, you say, you know,

190
00:10:27,280 --> 00:10:29,760
Speaker 1: show us, show us the ten can, show us the

191
00:10:30,640 --> 00:10:33,840
Speaker 1: balance statement, show us if all the numbers are crap,

192
00:10:34,480 --> 00:10:35,600
Speaker 1: you're not going to know if this is a good

193
00:10:35,640 --> 00:10:38,479
Speaker 1: company to invest it or not. And the numbers were

194
00:10:38,520 --> 00:10:41,360
Speaker 1: widely trash going into this election in terms of the

195
00:10:41,360 --> 00:10:44,400
Speaker 1: polls and certainly the gambling markets. Okay, so Florida, New

196
00:10:44,480 --> 00:10:48,719
Speaker 1: York super positive. There are certainly other stories going on

197
00:10:48,880 --> 00:10:52,199
Speaker 1: throughout the country that are positive. We're still waiting to

198
00:10:52,200 --> 00:10:54,600
Speaker 1: see what's going to happen in Nevada. To update everybody,

199
00:10:55,040 --> 00:10:58,040
Speaker 1: Adam Laxalt is up by around three points. They say

200
00:10:58,080 --> 00:11:01,720
Speaker 1: seventy five percent is in. Looks like our friend Ron Johnson,

201
00:11:01,760 --> 00:11:03,840
Speaker 1: we worked as hard as we could in Wisconsin. Looks

202
00:11:03,880 --> 00:11:07,439
Speaker 1: like he has one another those Ron john calls in here.

203
00:11:07,480 --> 00:11:09,400
Speaker 1: But remember when we told you we said it was

204
00:11:09,400 --> 00:11:11,559
Speaker 1: going to be super tight, we said every little bit

205
00:11:11,640 --> 00:11:13,960
Speaker 1: pedal to the medal that Ron john Rays came down

206
00:11:14,040 --> 00:11:15,800
Speaker 1: to the wire and we're gonna get him for six

207
00:11:15,880 --> 00:11:19,400
Speaker 1: more years, which is gonna be pretty fantastic. It looks

208
00:11:19,400 --> 00:11:22,160
Speaker 1: like Herschel is going to be in a runoff against Warnock.

209
00:11:22,160 --> 00:11:26,320
Speaker 1: We're basically reliving twenty twenty all over again, and we'll

210
00:11:26,320 --> 00:11:29,320
Speaker 1: see whether Carrie Lake Blake masters the numbers still coming

211
00:11:29,320 --> 00:11:31,520
Speaker 1: in in Arizona, what exactly is going to happen in

212
00:11:31,559 --> 00:11:33,800
Speaker 1: that state. But to your point, Buck, one of the

213
00:11:33,880 --> 00:11:36,960
Speaker 1: challenges of assessing everything right now as we speak to

214
00:11:37,000 --> 00:11:41,120
Speaker 1: you a little bit after noon on election day, after

215
00:11:41,200 --> 00:11:43,480
Speaker 1: the election, the post mortem is we don't all have

216
00:11:43,520 --> 00:11:46,120
Speaker 1: all the data. So we gave you some positives there.

217
00:11:46,400 --> 00:11:48,520
Speaker 1: When we come back, we'll start to talk about some

218
00:11:48,600 --> 00:11:50,840
Speaker 1: of the negatives that are out there. And I'll just

219
00:11:50,840 --> 00:11:54,040
Speaker 1: give you a tease. The fact that John Federman won

220
00:11:54,240 --> 00:11:59,920
Speaker 1: in Pennsylvania. I could not sleep thinking if John feder

221
00:12:00,280 --> 00:12:03,600
Speaker 1: can be elected as a Senate candidate statewide. The man

222
00:12:03,720 --> 00:12:07,280
Speaker 1: can't speak, he's in awful health. He is Bernie Sanders.

223
00:12:07,960 --> 00:12:10,360
Speaker 1: We're in a really tough spot because that's not a

224
00:12:10,400 --> 00:12:14,400
Speaker 1: candidate quality issue. He was the worst candidate of either

225
00:12:14,559 --> 00:12:18,400
Speaker 1: major political party running for statewide race. I think it

226
00:12:18,520 --> 00:12:21,080
Speaker 1: is essential for us and well through this coming back

227
00:12:21,120 --> 00:12:24,640
Speaker 1: and more this hour to understand how could John Fetterman

228
00:12:25,040 --> 00:12:29,080
Speaker 1: have won in Pennsylvania because this is what we are.

229
00:12:29,320 --> 00:12:34,120
Speaker 1: The Fetterman phenomenon of the worst candidate who's completely absurd

230
00:12:34,440 --> 00:12:37,240
Speaker 1: being able to be a US editor goes right to

231
00:12:37,280 --> 00:12:40,080
Speaker 1: the mindset of the modern Democrat party. This is really

232
00:12:40,120 --> 00:12:42,440
Speaker 1: what we have to unpack and dive into here because

233
00:12:42,440 --> 00:12:44,600
Speaker 1: this is what we're up against. No doubt, we'll continue

234
00:12:44,600 --> 00:12:47,959
Speaker 1: to break down everything electionwise. Obviously we are going to

235
00:12:48,040 --> 00:12:50,920
Speaker 1: dive into this from a data and analytics perspective as

236
00:12:50,920 --> 00:12:54,040
Speaker 1: well as an overall analysis of where the country is.

237
00:12:54,640 --> 00:12:57,120
Speaker 1: Buckle up. A lot to discuss, and I think the

238
00:12:57,240 --> 00:12:59,840
Speaker 1: ride is going to be pretty interesting. Today. On America's

239
00:13:00,000 --> 00:13:01,600
Speaker 1: Marcus Day of nine to eleven, the Tunnel of the

240
00:13:01,600 --> 00:13:04,560
Speaker 1: Towers Foundation was born, and it's been helping America's heroes

241
00:13:04,600 --> 00:13:07,640
Speaker 1: ever since. When a first responder or military service member

242
00:13:07,679 --> 00:13:10,160
Speaker 1: doesn't come home and young kids are left behind, Tunnel

243
00:13:10,160 --> 00:13:12,240
Speaker 1: of the Towers pays the mortgage on the family home

244
00:13:12,320 --> 00:13:16,040
Speaker 1: to lift the financial burden and bring stability for seriously

245
00:13:16,080 --> 00:13:19,160
Speaker 1: injured veterans and first responders. Tunnel of the Towers builds

246
00:13:19,200 --> 00:13:22,520
Speaker 1: mortgage free smart homes, giving our most severely injured heroes

247
00:13:22,840 --> 00:13:26,760
Speaker 1: the ability to live more independent lives. Through their Veteran

248
00:13:26,800 --> 00:13:29,880
Speaker 1: Homelessness Program, Tunnel of the Towers is providing housing and

249
00:13:29,960 --> 00:13:33,720
Speaker 1: services to homeless veterans across America, more than five hundred

250
00:13:33,760 --> 00:13:36,960
Speaker 1: such homes this year alone. Because all veterans who honorably

251
00:13:37,000 --> 00:13:40,360
Speaker 1: served our country, whether in peacetime or war, deserve our

252
00:13:40,440 --> 00:13:43,600
Speaker 1: nation's gratitude. People who put their lives on the line

253
00:13:43,679 --> 00:13:46,280
Speaker 1: for our country and our communities need your help now

254
00:13:46,360 --> 00:13:49,680
Speaker 1: more than ever. You can help America's heroes and their families.

255
00:13:49,720 --> 00:13:52,040
Speaker 1: Join Tunnel to Towers on its mission to do good

256
00:13:52,080 --> 00:13:55,160
Speaker 1: in their honor. Join us in donating eleven dollars a

257
00:13:55,200 --> 00:13:58,520
Speaker 1: month at t twot dot org. That's t the number

258
00:13:58,520 --> 00:14:03,440
Speaker 1: two t dot org. Welcome back in Clay Travis buck

259
00:14:03,480 --> 00:14:06,080
Speaker 1: Sexton Show. Appreciate all of you hanging out with us

260
00:14:06,160 --> 00:14:11,320
Speaker 1: as we are attempting to divine the message of the

261
00:14:11,400 --> 00:14:14,760
Speaker 1: mid term. As more and more races still remain to

262
00:14:14,800 --> 00:14:16,680
Speaker 1: be called that will give us a sense of what

263
00:14:16,800 --> 00:14:19,320
Speaker 1: happened in the House and in the Senate, and we

264
00:14:19,320 --> 00:14:22,040
Speaker 1: are continuing to monitor all of those. Here with you,

265
00:14:22,120 --> 00:14:25,000
Speaker 1: we're joined now by our friend and Congressman Jim Jordan

266
00:14:25,240 --> 00:14:29,040
Speaker 1: of Ohio. Congressman, I know it's probably been crazy for

267
00:14:29,080 --> 00:14:34,040
Speaker 1: you over the last few hours, but let's start here.

268
00:14:34,640 --> 00:14:38,320
Speaker 1: How confident are you that Republicans have taken back the

269
00:14:38,400 --> 00:14:42,880
Speaker 1: House based on the map, the outstanding votes, the races

270
00:14:42,920 --> 00:14:46,800
Speaker 1: that are still TBD out there, No, I feel pretty

271
00:14:46,800 --> 00:14:49,160
Speaker 1: good about it. And you know you know this from

272
00:14:49,200 --> 00:14:51,800
Speaker 1: your background sports to Clay, I learned a long time

273
00:14:51,840 --> 00:14:54,440
Speaker 1: ago winning beats losing and sometimes you gotta win an overtime.

274
00:14:55,520 --> 00:14:57,560
Speaker 1: But I think that's what's gonna happen. I think we're

275
00:14:57,560 --> 00:14:59,840
Speaker 1: gonna win the House. And it looks like lax of

276
00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:02,920
Speaker 1: gonna win in Nevada and then Herschel's in a runoff

277
00:15:02,960 --> 00:15:06,440
Speaker 1: with Hope and wins the runoff, So you know whin

278
00:15:06,520 --> 00:15:08,040
Speaker 1: in the House. Winning the sence what we set out

279
00:15:08,040 --> 00:15:09,320
Speaker 1: to do and if that, if that's where we get,

280
00:15:09,360 --> 00:15:13,040
Speaker 1: that's that's that's a huge one for the country. Congressman,

281
00:15:13,080 --> 00:15:16,480
Speaker 1: it's buck. What were your biggest takeaways? I mean, it's

282
00:15:16,520 --> 00:15:19,400
Speaker 1: tough for us right now because we're trying to assess

283
00:15:19,600 --> 00:15:23,200
Speaker 1: what the outcome is without knowing the outcome. We obviously

284
00:15:23,240 --> 00:15:24,960
Speaker 1: have a lot of data points and have a general

285
00:15:25,040 --> 00:15:28,640
Speaker 1: sense of it, but it just feels like the blue

286
00:15:28,720 --> 00:15:31,560
Speaker 1: is blue, the red is red, it's razor thin, and

287
00:15:31,600 --> 00:15:33,520
Speaker 1: it's trench warfare out there. What do you take from

288
00:15:33,560 --> 00:15:38,320
Speaker 1: it all? Because the Democrats, Yeah, Biden's just awful being president.

289
00:15:39,320 --> 00:15:42,280
Speaker 1: He is awful. And remember every Democrat ran away from him.

290
00:15:42,280 --> 00:15:45,800
Speaker 1: A bunch of Democrats ran like they were Republicans. And again,

291
00:15:45,840 --> 00:15:48,080
Speaker 1: in politics, you guys know this a lot of times

292
00:15:48,080 --> 00:15:50,360
Speaker 1: it comes down to the candidate, and it certainly comes

293
00:15:50,400 --> 00:15:53,200
Speaker 1: down to a work ethic. Um, that's just way life is.

294
00:15:53,200 --> 00:15:54,640
Speaker 1: You have. If you're gonna get to the goal, you're

295
00:15:54,640 --> 00:15:56,680
Speaker 1: gonna achieve the dream, you gotta work hard. And I

296
00:15:56,720 --> 00:15:59,320
Speaker 1: always I point to my buddy Scott Perry, who is

297
00:15:59,320 --> 00:16:01,480
Speaker 1: in a tough in Pennsylvania, is going to win by

298
00:16:01,520 --> 00:16:04,000
Speaker 1: ten points they come after, They call him every name.

299
00:16:04,000 --> 00:16:07,120
Speaker 1: They took his phone for goodness sake, and he busted

300
00:16:07,200 --> 00:16:09,680
Speaker 1: his tail. I mean, he's the kind of guy going

301
00:16:09,720 --> 00:16:12,040
Speaker 1: to high school football games in the fall on Friday night,

302
00:16:12,200 --> 00:16:14,320
Speaker 1: walking up and down the bleachers, shaking hands with people

303
00:16:14,320 --> 00:16:16,960
Speaker 1: handing out hot chocolate. He's that kind of candidate. Sometimes

304
00:16:17,000 --> 00:16:19,240
Speaker 1: you have to work that hard to win these tough

305
00:16:19,320 --> 00:16:21,880
Speaker 1: races in the environment you describe bucks and so I

306
00:16:21,920 --> 00:16:25,120
Speaker 1: think that's one of the takeaways is hard work pays off, frankly,

307
00:16:25,160 --> 00:16:28,960
Speaker 1: regardless of which party you're on. Okay, so what do

308
00:16:29,000 --> 00:16:31,920
Speaker 1: you think the time frame is here when we'll know

309
00:16:32,160 --> 00:16:34,400
Speaker 1: what's going to happen in the House and the Senate.

310
00:16:34,440 --> 00:16:37,080
Speaker 1: A lot of people still apprehensive after twenty twenty. I

311
00:16:37,080 --> 00:16:40,200
Speaker 1: know you fought all those battles into the week. Do

312
00:16:40,280 --> 00:16:42,240
Speaker 1: we know who won the House and who won the Senate?

313
00:16:42,680 --> 00:16:44,280
Speaker 1: How do you kind of look at your tea leaves

314
00:16:44,280 --> 00:16:46,560
Speaker 1: in terms of the timeline and what people out there

315
00:16:46,600 --> 00:16:50,360
Speaker 1: should think in terms of knowing. Unfortunately, how long it

316
00:16:50,400 --> 00:16:52,520
Speaker 1: takes to know who won our election. I wish every

317
00:16:52,600 --> 00:16:55,400
Speaker 1: state was like Florida, where three hours after they closed

318
00:16:55,400 --> 00:16:58,240
Speaker 1: the polls we know at all yeah. And by the way,

319
00:16:58,680 --> 00:17:01,960
Speaker 1: look at Florida, that was a win for freedom. We

320
00:17:02,000 --> 00:17:04,879
Speaker 1: have Annapoline and Luna had like eleven Liam Buckspin against her.

321
00:17:05,080 --> 00:17:07,320
Speaker 1: Cannot we endorse in the House freedom punt see wins.

322
00:17:07,520 --> 00:17:09,520
Speaker 1: That is a win for people who are willing to

323
00:17:09,560 --> 00:17:13,040
Speaker 1: stand up in a bowl an articulate way speak for

324
00:17:13,080 --> 00:17:15,000
Speaker 1: the truth and speak for liberty. So that that was

325
00:17:15,040 --> 00:17:16,520
Speaker 1: I think one of the bright spots as well. I'm

326
00:17:16,560 --> 00:17:18,680
Speaker 1: sure you guys have been talking about that. To answer

327
00:17:18,680 --> 00:17:21,680
Speaker 1: your question, who in the heck knows? I do remember.

328
00:17:21,720 --> 00:17:23,679
Speaker 1: I'm old enough to remember when, you know, when we

329
00:17:23,760 --> 00:17:25,679
Speaker 1: had a paper ballot and we got all the result

330
00:17:25,760 --> 00:17:28,159
Speaker 1: that you know midnight on election day, and now it

331
00:17:28,160 --> 00:17:30,440
Speaker 1: takes us days and days and days with all this technology,

332
00:17:30,640 --> 00:17:33,800
Speaker 1: So who the heck knows? I feel like I feel

333
00:17:33,840 --> 00:17:35,399
Speaker 1: like it's going to be some kind of decision for

334
00:17:35,480 --> 00:17:37,080
Speaker 1: the House here in the next couple of days. But

335
00:17:37,160 --> 00:17:40,000
Speaker 1: let's let's hope it's let's hope it sooner. But I

336
00:17:40,040 --> 00:17:43,320
Speaker 1: don't know. Um, it's frustrating. If it's frustrating for us,

337
00:17:43,320 --> 00:17:45,200
Speaker 1: imagine what I just like for the American people who

338
00:17:45,280 --> 00:17:46,960
Speaker 1: who don't live this stuff every day like we do.

339
00:17:47,440 --> 00:17:51,200
Speaker 1: No doubt. Congressman Jim Jordan with US now Congressman there,

340
00:17:51,280 --> 00:17:54,320
Speaker 1: I think is a is a fair criticism or maybe

341
00:17:54,320 --> 00:17:56,879
Speaker 1: it's just you know, the Monday morning quarterbacking here, I

342
00:17:56,920 --> 00:18:00,280
Speaker 1: guess in this case Wednesday, but it's it's it's seeing

343
00:18:00,280 --> 00:18:04,240
Speaker 1: to suggest that there wasn't enough of a message from

344
00:18:04,240 --> 00:18:06,960
Speaker 1: the GOP. Sure Biden and this is from the polling

345
00:18:07,119 --> 00:18:09,520
Speaker 1: across the board not doing a good job in the economy,

346
00:18:09,680 --> 00:18:13,560
Speaker 1: Democrats are bad on crime, wide, open border, etc. But

347
00:18:13,640 --> 00:18:16,239
Speaker 1: somehow it didn't translate in the red wave that we

348
00:18:16,320 --> 00:18:20,200
Speaker 1: had we had hoped for. Did Republicans miss an opportunity

349
00:18:20,680 --> 00:18:23,200
Speaker 1: to have a message of how we're going to make

350
00:18:23,200 --> 00:18:25,280
Speaker 1: things better? And do you think I mean, you're you're

351
00:18:25,320 --> 00:18:28,439
Speaker 1: a powerful voice inside of the GOOP Congress. Do you

352
00:18:28,440 --> 00:18:30,960
Speaker 1: think that that's going to be something that gets increased

353
00:18:30,960 --> 00:18:34,920
Speaker 1: focus going forward? Essentially what is our agenda? Well, yeah,

354
00:18:34,920 --> 00:18:38,360
Speaker 1: there's there's gonna be some reflection. But I think voters

355
00:18:38,440 --> 00:18:41,719
Speaker 1: want someone who's gonna fight for what they said they

356
00:18:41,720 --> 00:18:44,119
Speaker 1: were gonna do, who's gonna stand up for them and

357
00:18:44,160 --> 00:18:45,959
Speaker 1: they know it, They know that that they know that

358
00:18:45,960 --> 00:18:49,160
Speaker 1: that candidate is genuine that they genuinely care about their

359
00:18:49,240 --> 00:18:51,160
Speaker 1: their voters and they're going to go do what they said.

360
00:18:51,160 --> 00:18:52,800
Speaker 1: I think that's what they're looking for, and that's why

361
00:18:52,840 --> 00:18:55,680
Speaker 1: you you saw some good results from from some Republicans

362
00:18:55,720 --> 00:18:59,280
Speaker 1: around the country who I think embody that um. But

363
00:18:59,320 --> 00:19:01,119
Speaker 1: if they if they're something like wish you watch, I

364
00:19:01,400 --> 00:19:03,320
Speaker 1: think that that can be a problem. So I think

365
00:19:03,320 --> 00:19:06,040
Speaker 1: that's just a general sense that voters have. I do

366
00:19:06,080 --> 00:19:08,359
Speaker 1: think they'll be reflection whenever you don't you know, after

367
00:19:08,400 --> 00:19:10,639
Speaker 1: every contest, whether you won by him a mile or

368
00:19:10,680 --> 00:19:14,159
Speaker 1: you win in overtime. As I said, I think I

369
00:19:14,200 --> 00:19:16,119
Speaker 1: think there's always some reflection. I'm sure there's going to

370
00:19:16,160 --> 00:19:20,359
Speaker 1: be someone apart Congressman Jim Jordan with US now. Trump

371
00:19:20,400 --> 00:19:22,160
Speaker 1: has said he was on with US yesterday. I don't

372
00:19:22,200 --> 00:19:23,800
Speaker 1: know if you heard him. I know you're probably running

373
00:19:23,840 --> 00:19:27,560
Speaker 1: around like crazy getting ready for the election. The plan

374
00:19:27,760 --> 00:19:30,600
Speaker 1: was that he was going to announce at Mara Lago

375
00:19:30,960 --> 00:19:35,200
Speaker 1: on November fifteenth, which is six days from now. Given

376
00:19:35,280 --> 00:19:38,800
Speaker 1: that we may have a runoff coming in Georgia that

377
00:19:38,840 --> 00:19:41,600
Speaker 1: decides who wins the Senate, I'd like to be optimistic

378
00:19:41,600 --> 00:19:44,440
Speaker 1: about Nevada and also Arizona, as those votes are still

379
00:19:44,480 --> 00:19:47,720
Speaker 1: being counted. Do you think Trump should announce or would

380
00:19:47,720 --> 00:19:50,480
Speaker 1: you encourage him. Hey, let's wait and see what happens

381
00:19:50,600 --> 00:19:54,040
Speaker 1: in Georgia, finish out the mid terms, and then begin

382
00:19:54,119 --> 00:19:56,800
Speaker 1: to work on twenty twenty four. Yeah, yeah, that's President

383
00:19:56,800 --> 00:19:58,760
Speaker 1: Trump's called. I was with the President on Monday night.

384
00:19:58,760 --> 00:20:01,160
Speaker 1: He gave it just amazing speech. Yeah, it was great

385
00:20:01,200 --> 00:20:04,560
Speaker 1: in Ohio. It was just it was huge, and I

386
00:20:04,560 --> 00:20:07,520
Speaker 1: mean exactly. It showed the contrast in real leadership like

387
00:20:07,600 --> 00:20:09,200
Speaker 1: he has versus what we have in the White House

388
00:20:09,280 --> 00:20:11,240
Speaker 1: right now. So I leave it up to President Trump.

389
00:20:11,240 --> 00:20:13,520
Speaker 1: You guys know where I'm at. I've supported President Trump.

390
00:20:13,480 --> 00:20:15,160
Speaker 1: I think he was did a great job and Franks

391
00:20:15,200 --> 00:20:17,040
Speaker 1: who did more what he said as president than any

392
00:20:17,040 --> 00:20:20,160
Speaker 1: president we've ever had. So that that's up to him.

393
00:20:20,359 --> 00:20:22,160
Speaker 1: What I'm focused on is, let's make sure we win

394
00:20:22,160 --> 00:20:24,000
Speaker 1: the House. It looks like we're going to, and then

395
00:20:24,040 --> 00:20:25,959
Speaker 1: I assume it's going to go to a runoff in Georgia.

396
00:20:26,000 --> 00:20:28,280
Speaker 1: And I know two years ago I was in Georgia

397
00:20:28,440 --> 00:20:30,359
Speaker 1: trying to help our candidates, as I'll be back in

398
00:20:30,400 --> 00:20:33,920
Speaker 1: Georgia here in sometime over the next four weeks trying

399
00:20:33,920 --> 00:20:35,680
Speaker 1: to help personal You and me both Congish when I

400
00:20:35,720 --> 00:20:37,800
Speaker 1: was there for the final rally of Herschel. I imagine

401
00:20:37,800 --> 00:20:39,200
Speaker 1: we're going to have him on the show quite a

402
00:20:39,200 --> 00:20:41,639
Speaker 1: bit in that final month because it may be deja

403
00:20:41,720 --> 00:20:44,080
Speaker 1: vu all over again, right where you have this decision

404
00:20:44,119 --> 00:20:47,480
Speaker 1: in Georgia deciding who owns the Senate. Yeah, and by

405
00:20:47,520 --> 00:20:49,359
Speaker 1: the way, thanks for all you guys do given the

406
00:20:49,400 --> 00:20:52,240
Speaker 1: truth every day to the American people. It is so

407
00:20:52,359 --> 00:20:54,639
Speaker 1: critical because because they don't they certainly don't get it

408
00:20:54,680 --> 00:20:56,840
Speaker 1: from the corporate media. And you and you guys landed

409
00:20:56,880 --> 00:20:59,520
Speaker 1: out there clearly, articulately and frankly in a fun way,

410
00:20:59,560 --> 00:21:02,720
Speaker 1: so off and that's that's just so valuable. So I

411
00:21:02,760 --> 00:21:04,399
Speaker 1: appreciate that. And yeah, I think we're all going to

412
00:21:04,440 --> 00:21:06,600
Speaker 1: be in Georgia hopefully here over the next four weeks

413
00:21:06,640 --> 00:21:09,000
Speaker 1: helping hrssel win. Yeah, well, we appreciate that a lot.

414
00:21:09,200 --> 00:21:11,159
Speaker 1: Cons And Jordan, I I just wanted to ask you

415
00:21:11,200 --> 00:21:14,119
Speaker 1: for for anybody out there right now, we're getting a

416
00:21:14,160 --> 00:21:17,480
Speaker 1: lot of people who feel, now we don't have the results,

417
00:21:17,480 --> 00:21:19,399
Speaker 1: so it's tough. You know, how dejected can you be

418
00:21:19,520 --> 00:21:22,920
Speaker 1: when you don't know who won what yet? But people

419
00:21:22,920 --> 00:21:26,800
Speaker 1: are feeling like we you know, we definitely underperformed expectations

420
00:21:26,840 --> 00:21:29,520
Speaker 1: a little bit. What is your message to them, because

421
00:21:29,560 --> 00:21:31,600
Speaker 1: you know, we're happy warriors here. We stay in the

422
00:21:31,600 --> 00:21:35,320
Speaker 1: fight no matter what. Yeah, Look, the goal is to

423
00:21:35,359 --> 00:21:37,199
Speaker 1: win the House and when the when the Senate and

424
00:21:37,320 --> 00:21:40,679
Speaker 1: stop the madness from the left. I think we have

425
00:21:40,720 --> 00:21:43,200
Speaker 1: a real good chance of doing that. Let's stay focused

426
00:21:43,200 --> 00:21:45,520
Speaker 1: on that. And then also, like I said, look at

427
00:21:45,560 --> 00:21:48,000
Speaker 1: where freedom won in such a strong way, Like in

428
00:21:48,000 --> 00:21:50,280
Speaker 1: the state of Florida and in Ohio, we won every

429
00:21:50,440 --> 00:21:55,000
Speaker 1: statewide race Republican incumbents are running for reelection. In the Congress,

430
00:21:55,160 --> 00:21:57,720
Speaker 1: we won by like I had my highest margin ever

431
00:21:57,760 --> 00:22:00,960
Speaker 1: and I now have the two most populous Towney the

432
00:22:01,000 --> 00:22:03,320
Speaker 1: growing part right just northwest of Columbus. So I think

433
00:22:03,359 --> 00:22:06,159
Speaker 1: there are lots of good things to point at. We

434
00:22:06,240 --> 00:22:08,480
Speaker 1: need to stay focused on that and realize sometimes we

435
00:22:08,520 --> 00:22:11,280
Speaker 1: don't win as big as we'd like, but winning beast losing,

436
00:22:11,320 --> 00:22:13,639
Speaker 1: it looks like we're gonna win. Congressman Buck and I

437
00:22:13,680 --> 00:22:16,280
Speaker 1: were just talking about this to start the hour. It

438
00:22:16,320 --> 00:22:20,240
Speaker 1: feels like this mid term is actually going to make

439
00:22:20,280 --> 00:22:24,360
Speaker 1: it more likely that Democrats stick with Joe Biden. I'm

440
00:22:24,400 --> 00:22:27,239
Speaker 1: curious whether you would have that same read do you

441
00:22:27,359 --> 00:22:30,919
Speaker 1: think Biden is likely to be the nominee for Democrats

442
00:22:30,920 --> 00:22:35,040
Speaker 1: in twenty twenty four, and is maybe that actually a

443
00:22:35,160 --> 00:22:38,439
Speaker 1: net positive because he's one of the worst candidates and

444
00:22:38,560 --> 00:22:41,960
Speaker 1: certainly the worst president we've ever seen. I can't imagine

445
00:22:42,000 --> 00:22:43,800
Speaker 1: that in twenty twenty four he's going to be even

446
00:22:43,840 --> 00:22:47,280
Speaker 1: as good as he is now. And he ain't good now. No,

447
00:22:47,400 --> 00:22:50,000
Speaker 1: he's not. You know. I was asked by someone a

448
00:22:50,000 --> 00:22:51,879
Speaker 1: couple of weeks ago, is there anything positive you can

449
00:22:51,880 --> 00:22:53,800
Speaker 1: point to from the Biden administration and Democrats? And I

450
00:22:53,880 --> 00:22:55,640
Speaker 1: literally tried to think of something, and I said, no,

451
00:22:55,680 --> 00:22:58,359
Speaker 1: there isn't. And so yeah, but he's announced today that

452
00:22:58,359 --> 00:23:00,359
Speaker 1: he's running, he said, the White House is put out

453
00:23:00,359 --> 00:23:01,920
Speaker 1: that he's going to run. We're getting reports that he's

454
00:23:01,960 --> 00:23:03,439
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't know if he's specific anounts, but

455
00:23:03,640 --> 00:23:06,639
Speaker 1: the reports are he's running. So it sure looks like

456
00:23:06,680 --> 00:23:09,320
Speaker 1: he's going to And we're gonna help have to help

457
00:23:09,359 --> 00:23:11,240
Speaker 1: frame this thing up over the next two years so

458
00:23:11,400 --> 00:23:14,040
Speaker 1: that when President Trump runs, or if he decides not to,

459
00:23:14,119 --> 00:23:15,680
Speaker 1: but I think he's gone to and that's who I want.

460
00:23:16,119 --> 00:23:18,840
Speaker 1: If he runs, he's in a position where we're gonna

461
00:23:18,880 --> 00:23:20,320

Speaker 1: investment in bonds has a certain amount of risk associated

475
00:24:03,960 --> 00:24:06,080
Speaker 1: with it. You should only invest if you can afford

476
00:24:06,119 --> 00:24:09,080
Speaker 1: to bear the risk of loss. Before making investment decisions,

477

Speaker 1: Welcome back in third hour of Clay and Buck starts

486
00:24:44,960 --> 00:24:47,760
Speaker 1: right now everybody across the country. It is the day

487
00:24:47,800 --> 00:24:51,720
Speaker 1: after election day, as you all know, and even over

488
00:24:51,760 --> 00:24:55,359
Speaker 1: the course of this show, we've been getting more results,

489
00:24:55,560 --> 00:25:00,520
Speaker 1: more data, more anecdotes, information to analyze exactly why happened

490
00:25:00,600 --> 00:25:04,640
Speaker 1: last night. It was, in brief, not quite the red

491
00:25:04,640 --> 00:25:08,760
Speaker 1: wave that we had hoped. It may still be a

492
00:25:08,920 --> 00:25:11,879
Speaker 1: very good night for the GOP. It is likely to

493
00:25:11,960 --> 00:25:14,800
Speaker 1: be a pretty good night for the GOP, and there

494
00:25:14,840 --> 00:25:16,440
Speaker 1: is an off chance that it actually turns out to

495
00:25:16,480 --> 00:25:18,720
Speaker 1: be a pretty darn bad night for the GOP. We

496
00:25:18,840 --> 00:25:22,520
Speaker 1: don't know. We don't know yet for sure that the

497
00:25:22,560 --> 00:25:26,600
Speaker 1: GOP will have a House majority. We think that's very

498
00:25:26,640 --> 00:25:29,800
Speaker 1: likely right now, two hundred and three Republican seats against

499
00:25:29,800 --> 00:25:32,480
Speaker 1: one hundred and seventy six Democrat seats, with many many

500
00:25:33,080 --> 00:25:37,680
Speaker 1: still being counted. And in the Senate side, it is

501
00:25:37,760 --> 00:25:42,000
Speaker 1: forty eight forty eight gonna be raise earthIn gonna end

502
00:25:42,080 --> 00:25:45,840
Speaker 1: up in fifty fifty or fifty one forty nine, We

503
00:25:45,960 --> 00:25:49,720
Speaker 1: just don't know. Over the course of this show, the

504
00:25:49,760 --> 00:25:51,919
Speaker 1: three hours of the show, we've been getting more information

505
00:25:51,960 --> 00:25:57,000
Speaker 1: in about Carrie Lake's race for governor in Arizona. She

506
00:25:57,200 --> 00:26:00,119
Speaker 1: is putting out now she never lacks for confidence, but

507
00:26:00,160 --> 00:26:04,400
Speaker 1: she is putting out some strong statements of a win

508
00:26:04,560 --> 00:26:08,399
Speaker 1: coming her way. For the governor's race in Arizona. Blake

509
00:26:08,560 --> 00:26:14,240
Speaker 1: Masters apparently still in it. It's looking like a steep climb,

510
00:26:14,280 --> 00:26:18,520
Speaker 1: but still in it in Arizona. We've also got the

511
00:26:20,040 --> 00:26:24,520
Speaker 1: race still outstanding in Nevada with Cortes Mastow and Republican

512
00:26:24,600 --> 00:26:28,720
Speaker 1: Adam Laxalt. Masters and Laxalt the two Republicans involved here

513
00:26:28,760 --> 00:26:32,560
Speaker 1: we have had on the show many times, and Laxalt

514
00:26:32,600 --> 00:26:39,359
Speaker 1: looking pretty good. Georgia heading to a runoff which is

515
00:26:39,400 --> 00:26:42,760
Speaker 1: going to be quite a throwdown regardless, and if it

516
00:26:42,800 --> 00:26:47,720
Speaker 1: turns out that the Senate control turns on that race,

517
00:26:48,000 --> 00:26:51,639
Speaker 1: it will be well, it'll be an amazing replay of

518
00:26:51,680 --> 00:26:56,080
Speaker 1: what we saw in twenty twenty where Georgia Senate seats,

519
00:26:56,119 --> 00:26:59,600
Speaker 1: two of them determined control of the Senate. So there's

520
00:26:59,640 --> 00:27:03,159
Speaker 1: a lot that is still out there to be determined.

521
00:27:04,359 --> 00:27:07,360
Speaker 1: You had some better than expect or, well, you had

522
00:27:07,400 --> 00:27:12,800
Speaker 1: some good results in congressional races in New York, didn't

523
00:27:12,840 --> 00:27:15,800
Speaker 1: get the New York Governor's mansion. Unfortunately, you had some

524
00:27:16,960 --> 00:27:19,880
Speaker 1: amazing results in Florida. So if you if you want

525
00:27:19,920 --> 00:27:22,520
Speaker 1: to do a happy dance today, you are more than

526
00:27:22,600 --> 00:27:27,200
Speaker 1: safe to say that Governor Ronda Santis managed to throw

527
00:27:27,280 --> 00:27:32,400
Speaker 1: five touchdowns and play defense, get three picks clay and

528
00:27:32,680 --> 00:27:35,800
Speaker 1: ran up into stands after the game and you know,

529
00:27:36,160 --> 00:27:39,200
Speaker 1: hugged the wife and kids and said that, you know,

530
00:27:39,480 --> 00:27:41,480
Speaker 1: he's just doing it for America. I mean, it was

531
00:27:41,480 --> 00:27:44,919
Speaker 1: an amazing performance in Florida last night. So let me

532
00:27:44,960 --> 00:27:47,440
Speaker 1: five touchdowns is a lot five touchdowns. Bet we got

533
00:27:47,480 --> 00:27:49,159
Speaker 1: the red suit. The easy way to describe it as

534
00:27:49,280 --> 00:27:54,080
Speaker 1: we got the red tsunami we were expecting nationwide in Florida. Florida,

535
00:27:54,160 --> 00:27:57,119
Speaker 1: I would say, buck is the only state and we

536
00:27:57,160 --> 00:28:00,360
Speaker 1: expected it to be good to santist won by twenty

537
00:28:00,800 --> 00:28:04,880
Speaker 1: So DeSantis and the Florida Republican Party all the way

538
00:28:04,920 --> 00:28:10,399
Speaker 1: down the ticket vastly outperformed expectations, and expectations were really good.

539
00:28:11,000 --> 00:28:15,439
Speaker 1: New York a little bit maybe above expectations otherwise we

540
00:28:15,600 --> 00:28:18,879
Speaker 1: didn't get that red tsunami. And early on last night

541
00:28:18,880 --> 00:28:21,560
Speaker 1: we were having our party, we were celebratory because we

542
00:28:21,600 --> 00:28:23,600
Speaker 1: saw the numbers from Florida and we were talking with

543
00:28:23,640 --> 00:28:26,520
Speaker 1: people yesterday. Hey, these numbers from Florida are great, and

544
00:28:26,600 --> 00:28:30,680
Speaker 1: for whatever reason they did, it translate across the rest

545
00:28:30,800 --> 00:28:34,360
Speaker 1: of the country. And basically the numbers that jump out

546
00:28:34,359 --> 00:28:36,600
Speaker 1: to me box seventy five percent of people are unhappy

547
00:28:37,040 --> 00:28:40,440
Speaker 1: of the voters, according to exit polls, and yet every

548
00:28:40,600 --> 00:28:46,360
Speaker 1: single incumbent pretty much one reelection, which is that how

549
00:28:46,480 --> 00:28:51,240
Speaker 1: if you're angry, usually incumbents lose instead buy and large

550
00:28:51,600 --> 00:28:55,040
Speaker 1: even the places where like John Fetterman's disastrous win that

551
00:28:55,160 --> 00:28:58,320
Speaker 1: was not against a Republican incumbent, that was an open seat,

552
00:28:58,880 --> 00:29:02,880
Speaker 1: so it was a status quo election even though the

553
00:29:02,880 --> 00:29:05,760
Speaker 1: electorate is furious about what's going on in the country.

554
00:29:06,520 --> 00:29:10,959
Speaker 1: It's remarkable when you think about how the polling was.

555
00:29:11,120 --> 00:29:17,600
Speaker 1: As we've said, off the numbers indicated something happening elsewhere.

556
00:29:17,920 --> 00:29:21,560
Speaker 1: Florida dramatically overperformed. I mean it sounded bold. I said

557
00:29:21,600 --> 00:29:23,720
Speaker 1: double digit win for Ron de Santists have been saying

558
00:29:23,800 --> 00:29:25,440
Speaker 1: that for a month. You said double digit win for

559
00:29:25,520 --> 00:29:28,000
Speaker 1: Ron de santists, which, given that he won by less

560
00:29:28,000 --> 00:29:30,640
Speaker 1: than one percentage point in twenty eighteen, seemed like whoa,

561
00:29:30,680 --> 00:29:34,400
Speaker 1: we're really we're really calling a deep shot here, We're

562
00:29:34,400 --> 00:29:37,560
Speaker 1: calling a long bomb into the end zone. And sure

563
00:29:37,640 --> 00:29:40,440
Speaker 1: enough he doubled that number, which is completely just mind

564
00:29:40,440 --> 00:29:43,360
Speaker 1: blowing still although totally deserved. I want to add, I mean,

565
00:29:44,720 --> 00:29:48,320
Speaker 1: here's the problem that I'm having clipped. Florida makes sense.

566
00:29:49,080 --> 00:29:51,880
Speaker 1: You see what happened in Florida, and you say, and

567
00:29:52,160 --> 00:29:56,000
Speaker 1: any libercalis I understand why runners because he was right

568
00:29:56,040 --> 00:29:58,520
Speaker 1: about everything, because people are flocking to Florida, and because

569
00:29:58,560 --> 00:30:01,840
Speaker 1: the state's in great shape finance, actually, the states in

570
00:30:01,880 --> 00:30:06,720
Speaker 1: great shape of you know, politically, all the streamically, economic everything.

571
00:30:07,000 --> 00:30:10,600
Speaker 1: And Ron de Santis, after the the hurricane that really

572
00:30:10,720 --> 00:30:15,400
Speaker 1: hit the Four Myers area, did an exceptional job. Strong leadership,

573
00:30:15,560 --> 00:30:17,880
Speaker 1: got it done. I mean, just put on a clinic

574
00:30:17,960 --> 00:30:22,200
Speaker 1: for disaster relief for other politicians to see how it's done.

575
00:30:22,640 --> 00:30:25,440
Speaker 1: So Florida makes sense. You look at these The one

576
00:30:25,480 --> 00:30:28,080
Speaker 1: obviously that we keep coming back to is Fetterman. And

577
00:30:28,120 --> 00:30:30,000
Speaker 1: we said, but you know, we're talking to people about this,

578
00:30:30,040 --> 00:30:32,800
Speaker 1: trying to say what's going on here with Fetterman. You

579
00:30:32,840 --> 00:30:37,280
Speaker 1: get the Bernie voters. You get the mainstream Democrat or

580
00:30:37,320 --> 00:30:40,280
Speaker 1: you know, base Democrat based voters who will vote Democrat

581
00:30:40,760 --> 00:30:44,000
Speaker 1: no matter what. You know, remember when Tucker did his

582
00:30:44,120 --> 00:30:47,320
Speaker 1: thing about how the Democrats were like worshiping sixteen year

583
00:30:47,320 --> 00:30:49,600
Speaker 1: old at the time, Greta Thunberg on climate change. It

584
00:30:49,640 --> 00:30:52,280
Speaker 1: was it was bizarre, CNN hosts. I mean, I was

585
00:30:52,320 --> 00:30:54,080
Speaker 1: saying this at the time. Actually, some conservatives like you

586
00:30:54,120 --> 00:30:56,560
Speaker 1: could criticize her. I'm like, I'm not criticizing the sixteen

587
00:30:56,640 --> 00:31:00,480
Speaker 1: year old climate change maniac. I'm criticizing the adults who

588
00:31:00,480 --> 00:31:02,160
Speaker 1: think that she has anything to say that anyone should

589
00:31:02,200 --> 00:31:05,000
Speaker 1: listen to. You get the sense that, you know, if

590
00:31:05,040 --> 00:31:07,080
Speaker 1: she could run in Pennsylvania, they'd vote for it. They

591
00:31:07,080 --> 00:31:09,640
Speaker 1: don't care. The Libs don't care the vote for anyone.

592
00:31:09,760 --> 00:31:13,360
Speaker 1: But he brings in the the white working class Democrat

593
00:31:13,400 --> 00:31:17,920
Speaker 1: Bernie voters. Oz was obviously, you know, flawed. He's a

594
00:31:17,960 --> 00:31:20,680
Speaker 1: smart guy, he's a nice guy. We like doctor flawed candidate.

595
00:31:20,760 --> 00:31:24,360
Speaker 1: Obviously we knew that going into it. But the fact

596
00:31:24,360 --> 00:31:27,440
Speaker 1: that John Fetterman is going to be a United States

597
00:31:27,440 --> 00:31:31,320
Speaker 1: Senator that takes that takes him doing to get your

598
00:31:31,120 --> 00:31:33,440
Speaker 1: your mind wrapped around that one. I think that's where

599
00:31:34,280 --> 00:31:38,000
Speaker 1: you know, it just is one of these situations where

600
00:31:38,040 --> 00:31:39,240
Speaker 1: we knew it was going to be super tight in

601
00:31:39,280 --> 00:31:42,000
Speaker 1: a bunch of these places, but so far, in those

602
00:31:42,040 --> 00:31:46,400
Speaker 1: super tight races, we haven't seen it go red. You know,

603
00:31:46,440 --> 00:31:50,880
Speaker 1: what is the razor thin race that we've seen Ron

604
00:31:50,960 --> 00:31:54,440
Speaker 1: Johnson and Wisconsin. Now that went our way, but Ron

605
00:31:54,480 --> 00:31:56,520
Speaker 1: john was supposed to win by like six points, So

606
00:31:56,600 --> 00:31:59,520
Speaker 1: that's tough to get too excited about. In the battlegrounds,

607
00:31:59,560 --> 00:32:03,200
Speaker 1: we have felt like we've gotten a big battleground win.

608
00:32:03,320 --> 00:32:05,560
Speaker 1: I think that's what so as you said, it's like

609
00:32:05,600 --> 00:32:09,200
Speaker 1: the incumbency protection program was running yesterday. Yeah, And it's

610
00:32:09,240 --> 00:32:12,520
Speaker 1: the conflict between everybody being angry at the way the

611
00:32:12,560 --> 00:32:16,000
Speaker 1: country is going and then simultaneously saying, but we want

612
00:32:16,040 --> 00:32:18,800
Speaker 1: everybody who's made us angry to stay in power doesn't

613
00:32:18,840 --> 00:32:21,840
Speaker 1: make sense. It's the trench warfare dynamic, which is I

614
00:32:21,880 --> 00:32:24,680
Speaker 1: think people are just unwilling to abandon who they've already

615
00:32:24,760 --> 00:32:28,400
Speaker 1: voted for in the past. Democrats Republicans lined up in

616
00:32:28,440 --> 00:32:31,240
Speaker 1: the trenches looking at each other, and essentially we're in

617
00:32:31,280 --> 00:32:33,760
Speaker 1: a fifty fifty country where the line does not move

618
00:32:33,840 --> 00:32:37,080
Speaker 1: very aggressively one direction or another. Now, as you and

619
00:32:37,120 --> 00:32:38,800
Speaker 1: I have been saying during the course of the show,

620
00:32:39,160 --> 00:32:42,200
Speaker 1: we still don't know the final results in Nevada and Arizona.

621
00:32:42,480 --> 00:32:47,080
Speaker 1: Carrie Lake and Blake Masters have both said, hey, we're

622
00:32:47,160 --> 00:32:50,360
Speaker 1: going to win this race, Okay, just putting it out there.

623
00:32:50,800 --> 00:32:55,640
Speaker 1: If that were to happen, then our analysis changes pretty substantially.

624
00:32:55,680 --> 00:32:59,480
Speaker 1: If Adam Laxall were to hang on in Nevada, he's

625
00:32:59,560 --> 00:33:03,480
Speaker 1: up three points, I think right now, Well, then Republicans

626
00:33:03,520 --> 00:33:06,040
Speaker 1: win the Senate. And if we hang on in the House,

627
00:33:06,400 --> 00:33:09,120
Speaker 1: then we say, hey, the goal of this election was

628
00:33:09,160 --> 00:33:12,040
Speaker 1: to win the Senate and the House, and if we

629
00:33:12,160 --> 00:33:14,600
Speaker 1: managed to do that, then, even though it may take

630
00:33:14,640 --> 00:33:18,080
Speaker 1: several days for that to come into reality, this was

631
00:33:18,120 --> 00:33:21,640
Speaker 1: a successful election. Flip side, as aw right, We got

632
00:33:21,640 --> 00:33:25,200
Speaker 1: to keep that in mind. Flip side. If we ended

633
00:33:25,280 --> 00:33:29,560
Speaker 1: up losing Nevada and Arizona and then Herschel loses his runoff,

634
00:33:30,320 --> 00:33:34,680
Speaker 1: then you're talking about losing outright control of the Senate,

635
00:33:34,960 --> 00:33:38,000
Speaker 1: and the House is still right there on the razor's

636
00:33:38,120 --> 00:33:39,960
Speaker 1: edge between how many seats are there going to be?

637
00:33:40,000 --> 00:33:42,480
Speaker 1: We feel good. We talked to Congressman Jim Jordan the

638
00:33:42,520 --> 00:33:44,959
Speaker 1: last hour, but he didn't come on and say this

639
00:33:45,040 --> 00:33:47,040
Speaker 1: is one hundred percent died in the wall. We've got

640
00:33:47,080 --> 00:33:49,240
Speaker 1: this done. There's still a lot of races out there

641
00:33:49,280 --> 00:33:53,360
Speaker 1: to be called, and we're probably going to have five, six, seven,

642
00:33:53,480 --> 00:33:56,360
Speaker 1: eight seat majority when all is said and done, and

643
00:33:56,440 --> 00:33:59,760
Speaker 1: so it's going to be super tight. But you can

644
00:33:59,800 --> 00:34:02,640
Speaker 1: go from A minus hey, a little bit frustrating on

645
00:34:02,680 --> 00:34:04,800
Speaker 1: election night, but we won the Senate and we won

646
00:34:04,840 --> 00:34:09,280
Speaker 1: the House two d minus. Hey, we lost the House

647
00:34:09,800 --> 00:34:13,280
Speaker 1: and we lost the Senate, and Joe Biden's a disaster

648
00:34:13,400 --> 00:34:15,960
Speaker 1: and we weren't able to capitalize on that, which is

649
00:34:15,960 --> 00:34:18,520
Speaker 1: why I said to me, the biggest winner of the

650
00:34:18,640 --> 00:34:22,440
Speaker 1: night on the Republican side is Rohn de Santis. Clearly,

651
00:34:22,480 --> 00:34:25,759
Speaker 1: I mean that's saying it's Rohn de santus this world

652
00:34:25,840 --> 00:34:27,680
Speaker 1: right now and everybody else is living in it. Biggest

653
00:34:27,719 --> 00:34:30,640
Speaker 1: winner for the Democrats, I think, and I already admitted

654
00:34:30,680 --> 00:34:32,120
Speaker 1: that I was wrong on this in the top of

655
00:34:32,120 --> 00:34:35,280
Speaker 1: the second hour. Joe Biden he's gonna be the nominee

656
00:34:35,280 --> 00:34:37,200
Speaker 1: in twenty four because I looked at it, I look

657
00:34:37,239 --> 00:34:41,400
Speaker 1: at the data. They dragged John Fetterman across the finish line.

658
00:34:41,560 --> 00:34:44,800
Speaker 1: They're gonna run weekend at Bernie's two with Joe Biden,

659
00:34:45,200 --> 00:34:47,880
Speaker 1: and so I think if you're a strategic thinker and

660
00:34:48,000 --> 00:34:50,520
Speaker 1: you are a Republican right now, you want to wait

661
00:34:50,560 --> 00:34:52,600
Speaker 1: and see, and certainly we're gonna fight hard for the

662
00:34:52,640 --> 00:34:56,680
Speaker 1: Herschel Raphael Warnock runoff. I was at Herschel's final rally.

663
00:34:56,760 --> 00:35:00,600
Speaker 1: I won him desperately to win that race. I think

664
00:35:00,600 --> 00:35:03,400
Speaker 1: you start to think ahead to twenty four and say,

665
00:35:03,960 --> 00:35:07,080
Speaker 1: what can Republicans do to break out of the trench

666
00:35:07,120 --> 00:35:10,200
Speaker 1: warfare that we're in right now. Absolutely a big part

667
00:35:10,200 --> 00:35:12,120
Speaker 1: of it, I think is going to be having a message,

668
00:35:12,160 --> 00:35:18,520
Speaker 1: a message of positive problem fixing and a future for

669
00:35:18,560 --> 00:35:20,879
Speaker 1: the country. That's look, if things were going really well

670
00:35:20,880 --> 00:35:23,040
Speaker 1: in twenty eighteen and twenty nineteen we got hit with COVID.

671
00:35:23,080 --> 00:35:26,239
Speaker 1: We remember, the economy was booming under Trump. A lot

672
00:35:26,320 --> 00:35:29,080
Speaker 1: of things from a governance level, we're moving in the

673
00:35:29,200 --> 00:35:32,040
Speaker 1: right direction, and I think that bringing back a sense

674
00:35:32,120 --> 00:35:37,080
Speaker 1: of optimism there, I say, a Reaganesque optimism. You know

675
00:35:37,200 --> 00:35:40,200
Speaker 1: that it's mourning in America. I think we need more

676
00:35:40,239 --> 00:35:43,080
Speaker 1: of that going forward because there are a lot of people.

677
00:35:43,120 --> 00:35:46,360
Speaker 1: I think it is within the Democrat mindset to wallow

678
00:35:46,960 --> 00:35:50,719
Speaker 1: gladly in their misery. I think you see this with

679
00:35:50,760 --> 00:35:52,719
Speaker 1: people who live in Portland, and people who live in

680
00:35:52,719 --> 00:35:54,600
Speaker 1: New York, and people who live in Chicago, and people

681
00:35:54,600 --> 00:35:58,600
Speaker 1: who live in these places that keep voting Democrat. They're

682
00:35:58,640 --> 00:36:02,879
Speaker 1: just they're happy being miserable, unsafe and dealing. They want

683
00:36:02,880 --> 00:36:05,160
Speaker 1: to be told what to do. They liked being told

684
00:36:05,160 --> 00:36:08,799
Speaker 1: the double mask. They don't care. They're homeless. People you

685
00:36:08,800 --> 00:36:11,919
Speaker 1: know that are doing fenthonel and broad daylight in front

686
00:36:11,960 --> 00:36:14,319
Speaker 1: of children and old ladies are being attacked in the

687
00:36:14,360 --> 00:36:18,640
Speaker 1: streets because you know, social justice or whatever. They're okay

688
00:36:18,680 --> 00:36:20,960
Speaker 1: with all that. We have to get beyond that. We

689
00:36:21,000 --> 00:36:24,080
Speaker 1: have to have a broader and more positive message. And

690
00:36:24,320 --> 00:36:27,680
Speaker 1: I do think it is doable. And you know, when

691
00:36:27,719 --> 00:36:29,960
Speaker 1: you look at any of the big takeaways, I think

692
00:36:29,960 --> 00:36:32,560
Speaker 1: for the GOP from last night, such as they are

693
00:36:32,640 --> 00:36:36,960
Speaker 1: right now, for us, we're if it's going to be

694
00:36:37,040 --> 00:36:39,000
Speaker 1: a super title election in twenty twenty four, no matter

695
00:36:39,040 --> 00:36:41,839
Speaker 1: what ever. Needs again, there is no there's no massive wave,

696
00:36:42,080 --> 00:36:45,759
Speaker 1: there is no win of you know, states that are

697
00:36:45,840 --> 00:36:50,200
Speaker 1: deep deep blue. We have to understand that you're running

698
00:36:50,360 --> 00:36:53,520
Speaker 1: a state by state competition for the presidency and obviously

699
00:36:53,560 --> 00:36:56,360
Speaker 1: for different congressional and Senate seats. That is going to

700
00:36:56,400 --> 00:36:59,279
Speaker 1: be one on the margins these some of these races,

701
00:36:59,280 --> 00:37:01,000
Speaker 1: how much are they are actually going to be determined by?

702
00:37:01,000 --> 00:37:04,480
Speaker 1: As we said, you're looking at thousands of votes, thousands

703
00:37:04,520 --> 00:37:07,399
Speaker 1: of votes play in place, millions cast. No, you're exactly right,

704
00:37:07,640 --> 00:37:10,840
Speaker 1: and it's going to happen in Nevada, Arizona, and Georgia,

705
00:37:10,880 --> 00:37:13,520
Speaker 1: where we still don't know the full result of the

706
00:37:13,520 --> 00:37:16,279
Speaker 1: Senate it's going to be decided by just a few

707
00:37:16,280 --> 00:37:19,839
Speaker 1: thousand votes. That's where we are. Yeah, fingers crossed. It's

708
00:37:19,840 --> 00:37:22,840
Speaker 1: like the Pacino speech from any given Sunday, fight for

709
00:37:22,960 --> 00:37:27,479
Speaker 1: every inch. You gotta fight for every inch frience. Look,

710
00:37:27,560 --> 00:37:30,120
Speaker 1: one thing that was a big issue in this election

711
00:37:30,160 --> 00:37:34,880
Speaker 1: as well was the reality of how abortion is now

712
00:37:35,480 --> 00:37:38,160
Speaker 1: something that is being pushed more than more than ever

713
00:37:38,200 --> 00:37:39,400
Speaker 1: before in a lot of ways in some of these

714
00:37:39,440 --> 00:37:41,680
Speaker 1: Democrats states. You see what they're doing. California, it's an

715
00:37:41,719 --> 00:37:44,879
Speaker 1: abortion sanctuary state. They're gonna use taxpayer dollars to pay

716
00:37:44,880 --> 00:37:47,440
Speaker 1: for people's abortions to fly them into the state because

717
00:37:47,440 --> 00:37:51,200
Speaker 1: that's how that's how much they want this it's evil,

718
00:37:51,400 --> 00:37:55,279
Speaker 1: it's wrong. What's going on. This is something that we

719
00:37:55,360 --> 00:37:58,080
Speaker 1: have to do everything we can to counteract with each

720
00:37:58,080 --> 00:38:01,280
Speaker 1: and every day. The pro life community has to act now.

721
00:38:01,560 --> 00:38:03,919
Speaker 1: Yes we're working through the political process, Yes we're trying

722
00:38:03,920 --> 00:38:06,600
Speaker 1: to educate the public, but you can save lives by

723
00:38:06,640 --> 00:38:11,560
Speaker 1: pushing pregnant women in the direction of life. By introducing

724
00:38:11,600 --> 00:38:14,319
Speaker 1: them to their unborn baby. You're just showing them what

725
00:38:14,480 --> 00:38:18,360
Speaker 1: is there. You're just helping them. With the Preborn Pregnancy clinics,

726
00:38:18,600 --> 00:38:22,560
Speaker 1: they help rescue preborn babies. They began their nonprofit mission

727
00:38:22,800 --> 00:38:26,680
Speaker 1: sixteen years ago and they have rescued hundreds of thousands

728
00:38:26,680 --> 00:38:29,480
Speaker 1: of babies lives. This is what Preborn does. They introduce

729
00:38:29,520 --> 00:38:32,719
Speaker 1: expectant moms in crisis to their babies through ultrasound. When

730
00:38:32,760 --> 00:38:35,759
Speaker 1: that mother sees the precious baby she has inside of her,

731
00:38:36,040 --> 00:38:40,120
Speaker 1: here's that heartbeat, that heartbeat that says I'm alive. The

732
00:38:40,160 --> 00:38:43,719
Speaker 1: majority of the time, that mother will choose life. You

733
00:38:43,719 --> 00:38:48,120
Speaker 1: can literally help preborn save lives. Well, you join me

734
00:38:48,120 --> 00:38:50,880
Speaker 1: in supporting them with the donation. One ultrasound is just

735
00:38:50,960 --> 00:38:54,279
Speaker 1: twenty eight dollars, or you can sponsor five ultrasounds for

736
00:38:54,320 --> 00:38:57,440
Speaker 1: one hundred and forty dollars. Every dollar you donate today

737
00:38:57,440 --> 00:39:00,120
Speaker 1: will be matched, so your twenty eight dollars donation is

738
00:39:00,160 --> 00:39:03,439
Speaker 1: really fifty six dollars. And this is a tax deductible

739
00:39:03,440 --> 00:39:06,920
Speaker 1: gift too that goes to operate preborn clinics around the nation.

740
00:39:07,440 --> 00:39:11,279
Speaker 1: To donate securely, dial pound two fifty and say the

741
00:39:11,400 --> 00:39:15,760
Speaker 1: keyword baby. That's pound two five zero. Say the word baby.

742
00:39:16,000 --> 00:39:18,319
Speaker 1: Or if you want to donate online like I have,

Speaker 1: give letter grades yet for the mid terms because we

767
00:40:41,280 --> 00:40:44,160
Speaker 1: don't know enough which haven't graded the final exams. How

768
00:40:44,200 --> 00:40:47,640
Speaker 1: can we know? I know, but a lot of optimism.

769
00:40:47,719 --> 00:40:50,239
Speaker 1: I think it's fair to say Buck in Nevada with

770
00:40:50,280 --> 00:40:52,719
Speaker 1: Adam Laxalt and the way those numbers are coming in,

771
00:40:52,760 --> 00:40:56,320
Speaker 1: he has a three point lead. If Laxalt is able

772
00:40:56,360 --> 00:40:58,759
Speaker 1: to get the win, and I think it's fair to

773
00:40:58,800 --> 00:41:02,240
Speaker 1: say he should be the favorite now in Nevada, then

774
00:41:02,360 --> 00:41:06,480
Speaker 1: it would come down to Georgia again, just like it

775
00:41:06,520 --> 00:41:08,400
Speaker 1: did two years ago, except this time it would be

776
00:41:08,440 --> 00:41:10,879
Speaker 1: one race as opposed to We're gonna have to put

777
00:41:10,920 --> 00:41:12,600
Speaker 1: We're gonna have to come together as a country. I

778
00:41:12,640 --> 00:41:15,360
Speaker 1: know we're very divided on a lot of things right now,

779
00:41:16,000 --> 00:41:19,040
Speaker 1: but everyone's gonna have to just agree that during that

780
00:41:19,239 --> 00:41:23,759
Speaker 1: Georgia runoff, you are not allowed to title an op ed,

781
00:41:23,960 --> 00:41:28,120
Speaker 1: a podcast or anything else Georgia on my mind, not allowed. Okay,

782
00:41:28,320 --> 00:41:31,279
Speaker 1: there there are some cliches that must be banned. We're

783
00:41:31,320 --> 00:41:33,080
Speaker 1: gonna have to all come together and agree on that.

784
00:41:33,520 --> 00:41:35,719
Speaker 1: Oh man, we're gonna have Herschel and I think before

785
00:41:35,760 --> 00:41:39,000
Speaker 1: the end of the week now that runoff is officially official.

786
00:41:39,160 --> 00:41:42,120
Speaker 1: In many ways, everybody I saw Fox News as officially

787
00:41:42,160 --> 00:41:44,839
Speaker 1: called it, the AP has said, Hey, nobody's getting to fifty.

788
00:41:44,840 --> 00:41:49,200
Speaker 1: We're gonna have a runoff there and that battle. Trump

789
00:41:49,280 --> 00:41:51,040
Speaker 1: is gonna have to make a decision, as we said earlier,

790
00:41:51,120 --> 00:41:52,759
Speaker 1: is he going to announce or not or wait and

791
00:41:52,760 --> 00:41:55,520
Speaker 1: see what happens with the midterms. Trump Trump has an

792
00:41:55,520 --> 00:41:58,480
Speaker 1: opportunity there, one for the good of the country, but

793
00:41:58,560 --> 00:42:02,160
Speaker 1: just more broad or rather more specifically, for Trump to

794
00:42:02,239 --> 00:42:05,719
Speaker 1: show everybody, you know, is he able to be a kingmaker?

795
00:42:06,280 --> 00:42:09,000
Speaker 1: Is because because the Herschel is his guy in that race,

796
00:42:09,520 --> 00:42:11,560
Speaker 1: and Trump has raised a ton of money, and he's

797
00:42:11,640 --> 00:42:14,319
Speaker 1: Trump and he's a former president, and you know, we

798
00:42:14,400 --> 00:42:16,200
Speaker 1: all know the kind of muscle that he can put

799
00:42:16,239 --> 00:42:20,439
Speaker 1: behind something. But maybe that means in this case, making

800
00:42:20,560 --> 00:42:23,400
Speaker 1: nice with Kemp, deciding you're going to just come together

801
00:42:23,440 --> 00:42:25,480
Speaker 1: and do it for the best the best interests of

802
00:42:25,560 --> 00:42:27,560
Speaker 1: the state of Georgia and the American people. I'm just

803
00:42:27,600 --> 00:42:30,319
Speaker 1: putting this out there like, no, it's a gate. It

804
00:42:30,360 --> 00:42:32,480
Speaker 1: needs to be all hands on deck to get herschel

805
00:42:32,480 --> 00:42:35,879
Speaker 1: over that finish line and deju As Jogie Barras said,

806
00:42:35,920 --> 00:42:40,480
Speaker 1: all over again because last time we lost two seats

807
00:42:40,480 --> 00:42:43,319
Speaker 1: in Georgia, and we did it because we didn't run

808
00:42:43,400 --> 00:42:46,480
Speaker 1: with the number one argument, which was, hey, let's put

809
00:42:46,480 --> 00:42:49,239
Speaker 1: a check on Joe Biden's power. We got to do over.

810
00:42:49,480 --> 00:42:52,040
Speaker 1: We got an opportunity potentially to decide the Senate in

811
00:42:52,040 --> 00:42:54,680
Speaker 1: Georgia again. The number one thing, he's got a forty

812
00:42:54,719 --> 00:42:58,280
Speaker 1: percent approval rating in Georgia, Buck the number one sales pitches.

813
00:42:58,719 --> 00:43:01,399
Speaker 1: We've got to check Joe Biden's power. And no matter

814
00:43:01,440 --> 00:43:03,759
Speaker 1: what happens in these final results, you can still hang

815
00:43:03,760 --> 00:43:05,400
Speaker 1: out with clam Buck every day. Amen,
