Can Cameron pull it off? 13 00:00:44,920 --> 00:00:48,200 Speaker 3: Clay, everybody, let's just say this right off the top, 14 00:00:48,760 --> 00:00:52,479 Speaker 3: Daniel Cameron, if you live in the state of Kentucky 15 00:00:52,520 --> 00:00:55,160 Speaker 3: and you are listening to us right now, and you 16 00:00:55,240 --> 00:00:57,440 Speaker 3: are not out at the polls, you haven't already voted, 17 00:00:57,480 --> 00:00:59,279 Speaker 3: you haven't told everyone around you. 18 00:00:59,280 --> 00:00:59,960 Speaker 2: To go vote. 19 00:01:00,480 --> 00:01:04,720 Speaker 3: If you don't hold Andy Basheer responsible for what he 20 00:01:04,800 --> 00:01:08,959 Speaker 3: did for COVID, and also if you don't hold him 21 00:01:09,000 --> 00:01:11,520 Speaker 3: responsible for the fact that if something happened to Rand Paul, 22 00:01:11,600 --> 00:01:13,520 Speaker 3: you know he was attacked by his neighbor has had 23 00:01:13,560 --> 00:01:17,160 Speaker 3: serious health related conditions. If something happened to Mitch McConnell, 24 00:01:17,640 --> 00:01:20,720 Speaker 3: but Sheer would appoint a Democrat. He's already said that 25 00:01:20,880 --> 00:01:24,039 Speaker 3: in direct contravention of Kentucky state law. 26 00:01:24,480 --> 00:01:25,800 Speaker 2: Andy Basheer needs to lose. 27 00:01:25,840 --> 00:01:28,080 Speaker 3: Of all the elections that are going on today, Buck, 28 00:01:28,080 --> 00:01:29,680 Speaker 3: and there are a lot of important elections. 29 00:01:29,720 --> 00:01:31,240 Speaker 2: Everybody needs to get out and vote. 30 00:01:31,480 --> 00:01:35,040 Speaker 3: Kentucky has the opportunity to send the biggest statement to 31 00:01:35,200 --> 00:01:39,720 Speaker 3: the nation about holding a politician accountable for all his failures. 32 00:01:39,840 --> 00:01:43,399 Speaker 2: I've also got big things happening on the election front 33 00:01:43,520 --> 00:01:47,000 Speaker 2: in Virginia, Mississippi. We'll talk to you about a number 34 00:01:47,000 --> 00:01:50,120 Speaker 2: of these important races. All one hundred and forty seats, 35 00:01:50,120 --> 00:01:54,520 Speaker 2: for example, in Virginia's General Assembly are on the ballot today, 36 00:01:55,160 --> 00:01:57,720 Speaker 2: and Glenn Youngkin, who we've had on this program, the 37 00:01:57,760 --> 00:02:01,280 Speaker 2: governor of Virginia, is trying very hard to help get 38 00:02:01,440 --> 00:02:05,760 Speaker 2: a big red wave in that state and to flip 39 00:02:06,440 --> 00:02:12,399 Speaker 2: the entirety of the General Assembly to a red majority, 40 00:02:12,440 --> 00:02:15,480 Speaker 2: a Republican majority. So that's a big deal. 41 00:02:15,560 --> 00:02:17,480 Speaker 3: And then some other There's a lot of big political 42 00:02:17,520 --> 00:02:19,960 Speaker 3: stories out right now. Obviously it's election day, but also 43 00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:22,000 Speaker 3: we've got the GOP debate tomorrow will give you a 44 00:02:22,040 --> 00:02:23,760 Speaker 3: little bit of a sense of. 45 00:02:23,320 --> 00:02:26,280 Speaker 2: What we think we may see there. Although to clearly 46 00:02:26,320 --> 00:02:29,360 Speaker 2: tomorrow that'll be a major topic of discussion here. We 47 00:02:29,440 --> 00:02:32,320 Speaker 2: know who has qualified for that stage, we know who 48 00:02:32,320 --> 00:02:34,720 Speaker 2: will not be on the stage, which is in some 49 00:02:34,760 --> 00:02:39,360 Speaker 2: ways the central story still the man who will not 50 00:02:39,480 --> 00:02:44,240 Speaker 2: be there, Donald J. Trump and his enormous lead still 51 00:02:44,240 --> 00:02:49,120 Speaker 2: in the polls. Will discuss that RFK Junior in swing states. 52 00:02:49,400 --> 00:02:51,960 Speaker 2: This is very interesting. We want to get into that 53 00:02:52,120 --> 00:02:54,440 Speaker 2: as well. The numbers that he is pulling right now 54 00:02:54,480 --> 00:02:58,680 Speaker 2: in the polls, particularly among the younger demographic of voters, 55 00:02:58,960 --> 00:03:03,120 Speaker 2: is well, it's election changing if it's real, So that's 56 00:03:03,160 --> 00:03:05,840 Speaker 2: worth discussing. But I will start her this. You know Iowa, 57 00:03:05,880 --> 00:03:09,880 Speaker 2: the Iowa cox is not that far away. And the 58 00:03:10,280 --> 00:03:14,600 Speaker 2: governor of Iowa, Kim Reynolds, came out last night and 59 00:03:14,960 --> 00:03:19,680 Speaker 2: made an official endorsement for who she thinks should be 60 00:03:19,680 --> 00:03:21,200 Speaker 2: the next president the United States, who should be the 61 00:03:21,240 --> 00:03:24,960 Speaker 2: Republican nominee, And it was for Governor ron to Samtis 62 00:03:25,000 --> 00:03:26,760 Speaker 2: of Florida. I wanted do you hear this? And Clay 63 00:03:26,800 --> 00:03:29,320 Speaker 2: I wanted to hear your reaction to the all in 64 00:03:29,440 --> 00:03:31,960 Speaker 2: on Iowa strategy play for when the liberals and. 65 00:03:32,000 --> 00:03:34,720 Speaker 4: Media came after him, he stood his ground when the 66 00:03:34,720 --> 00:03:39,400 Speaker 4: Trump administration let Fauci lead their response, Ron had the 67 00:03:39,560 --> 00:03:45,200 Speaker 4: courage to say not in Florida. But here's another thing 68 00:03:45,200 --> 00:03:48,640 Speaker 4: that sets Ron apart. He didn't just fight to fight. 69 00:03:49,080 --> 00:03:53,160 Speaker 4: He stood his ground because he dug into the issues. 70 00:03:53,520 --> 00:03:56,880 Speaker 4: He actually hired and listened to some of the best people. 71 00:03:57,360 --> 00:04:01,480 Speaker 4: Ron is focused, he is principled, he has results driven, 72 00:04:02,200 --> 00:04:05,960 Speaker 4: and it is why I am so proud to stand 73 00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:10,400 Speaker 4: here tonight and give him my full support and endorsement. 74 00:04:15,560 --> 00:04:18,159 Speaker 2: Clay Governor Reynolds and Iowa's pretty popular in her state. 75 00:04:18,600 --> 00:04:20,480 Speaker 2: This might come as a surprise to some of those 76 00:04:20,520 --> 00:04:23,160 Speaker 2: she's been associated with the Stantus in the past. Will 77 00:04:23,160 --> 00:04:27,400 Speaker 2: her endorsement matter, Will Iowa matter? Okay, let's start here. 78 00:04:27,560 --> 00:04:30,320 Speaker 3: This is a big deal because she is beloved in 79 00:04:30,360 --> 00:04:34,680 Speaker 3: the state of Iowa, and the numbers for Trump in 80 00:04:35,000 --> 00:04:40,239 Speaker 3: Iowa are not extraordinary, by which I mean he's under 81 00:04:40,320 --> 00:04:43,719 Speaker 3: fifty percent. He didn't win, as we've talked about in 82 00:04:43,760 --> 00:04:46,880 Speaker 3: twenty sixteen. I think if you ask the Trump people 83 00:04:47,560 --> 00:04:51,080 Speaker 3: the state that they are most nervous about early on, 84 00:04:51,800 --> 00:04:55,839 Speaker 3: you know, in terms of Iowa, New Hampshire or South Carolina. 85 00:04:56,000 --> 00:04:57,800 Speaker 2: I think they probably point to Iowa. 86 00:04:59,160 --> 00:05:01,040 Speaker 3: So I think it it is a big deal that 87 00:05:01,080 --> 00:05:04,279 Speaker 3: she has come off the sidelines and endorsed, because I 88 00:05:04,360 --> 00:05:09,560 Speaker 3: think it basically guarantees DeSantis the second position. Can he 89 00:05:09,640 --> 00:05:13,600 Speaker 3: make a run to try to take down Trump number one? Overall? 90 00:05:13,960 --> 00:05:17,000 Speaker 3: That remains to be seen. Having said that, I'm just 91 00:05:17,040 --> 00:05:21,360 Speaker 3: curious on your answer. Has any endorsement in your life 92 00:05:21,800 --> 00:05:24,480 Speaker 3: ever impacted the way that you personally voted? 93 00:05:24,680 --> 00:05:28,839 Speaker 2: No, it has never affected me. But that then again, 94 00:05:29,120 --> 00:05:32,160 Speaker 2: I'm somebody who watches commercials and generally thinks to himself, 95 00:05:32,160 --> 00:05:34,080 Speaker 2: well that's something I'm not going to buy. Yeah, right, 96 00:05:34,120 --> 00:05:36,000 Speaker 2: I get it, you know, So I don't know. I mean, 97 00:05:36,040 --> 00:05:38,680 Speaker 2: I think that there must be some in the margins 98 00:05:38,680 --> 00:05:41,600 Speaker 2: that must be effective at some level, because people fight hard. 99 00:05:41,680 --> 00:05:44,040 Speaker 2: Especially not all endorsements are the same. I mean, that's 100 00:05:44,080 --> 00:05:47,279 Speaker 2: really this endorsement. You know, if you had the chief 101 00:05:47,360 --> 00:05:50,240 Speaker 2: dogcatcher for des Moines, I don't think that really matters. 102 00:05:50,279 --> 00:05:52,640 Speaker 2: But the governor of i Well might move the needle 103 00:05:52,640 --> 00:05:54,000 Speaker 2: a little bit. Yes, she's very popular. 104 00:05:54,080 --> 00:05:56,920 Speaker 3: I've never voted based on who endorsed either, and I 105 00:05:56,920 --> 00:05:59,600 Speaker 3: would imagine the vast majority of our audience makes their 106 00:05:59,600 --> 00:06:03,680 Speaker 3: own disc decisions without endorsement. So in general, what I 107 00:06:03,720 --> 00:06:07,479 Speaker 3: think it probably matters the most on is like I said, 108 00:06:07,480 --> 00:06:10,599 Speaker 3: I think it solidifies to Santis as clearly second place 109 00:06:10,640 --> 00:06:14,200 Speaker 3: in Iowa. I would also bet her organization buck and 110 00:06:14,240 --> 00:06:17,400 Speaker 3: her get out the vote capabilities, given the success that 111 00:06:17,440 --> 00:06:21,479 Speaker 3: she has had in Iowa, the infrastructure additions that she 112 00:06:21,600 --> 00:06:25,480 Speaker 3: can provide because so much of the Iowa caucus. Remember, 113 00:06:26,000 --> 00:06:29,880 Speaker 3: it's super complicated. It's not just a show up on 114 00:06:30,000 --> 00:06:33,840 Speaker 3: primary day and walk into a room and make your 115 00:06:34,440 --> 00:06:37,039 Speaker 3: vote cast. You have to get people to get out. 116 00:06:37,080 --> 00:06:39,080 Speaker 3: They have to show up, they have to organize. It's 117 00:06:39,240 --> 00:06:42,560 Speaker 3: very convoluted, and so turn out I would say in 118 00:06:42,760 --> 00:06:46,080 Speaker 3: Iowa matters more than almost anywhere, and that comes down 119 00:06:46,120 --> 00:06:51,400 Speaker 3: to organization. And so this I do believe is significant. 120 00:06:51,440 --> 00:06:56,320 Speaker 3: I also think it's important in the context of if 121 00:06:56,400 --> 00:06:59,680 Speaker 3: Kim Reynolds didn't think that Ron DeSantis had a chance 122 00:07:00,080 --> 00:07:02,919 Speaker 3: to win in Iowa, I don't think she would lend 123 00:07:03,000 --> 00:07:04,440 Speaker 3: her name to him. 124 00:07:04,440 --> 00:07:05,240 Speaker 2: Does that make sense? 125 00:07:05,279 --> 00:07:08,120 Speaker 3: Like, I don't buy into the idea that if she 126 00:07:08,279 --> 00:07:11,080 Speaker 3: thought he was going to get trounced and it was 127 00:07:11,160 --> 00:07:14,480 Speaker 3: not going to be remotely competitive. I think she would 128 00:07:14,520 --> 00:07:17,400 Speaker 3: think to herself, Okay, I don't want to endorse somebody 129 00:07:17,640 --> 00:07:21,320 Speaker 3: who then is going to get absolutely obliterated in the polls, 130 00:07:21,320 --> 00:07:23,320 Speaker 3: because it reflects on some level on her. 131 00:07:23,360 --> 00:07:25,360 Speaker 2: You know. And this is not a normal This is 132 00:07:25,400 --> 00:07:28,400 Speaker 2: not a normal election in the sense that well, in 133 00:07:28,440 --> 00:07:31,920 Speaker 2: a lot of ways. But Trump is running on a 134 00:07:31,920 --> 00:07:33,440 Speaker 2: at least what a lot of supporters are saying is 135 00:07:33,480 --> 00:07:36,160 Speaker 2: kind of a vengeance tour or will be on a 136 00:07:36,200 --> 00:07:40,880 Speaker 2: vengeance tour afterwards. And being on the wrong side of 137 00:07:40,960 --> 00:07:43,000 Speaker 2: the guy who could be the Republican president of the 138 00:07:43,040 --> 00:07:45,960 Speaker 2: United States once again is not necessarily a one of well, 139 00:07:46,000 --> 00:07:48,000 Speaker 2: you know, for governors, it doesn't necessarily matter all that much, 140 00:07:48,040 --> 00:07:49,760 Speaker 2: a little different, I think if you're in the Congress. 141 00:07:50,760 --> 00:07:55,720 Speaker 2: But here we are seeing that this is the It is, 142 00:07:55,760 --> 00:07:58,800 Speaker 2: like I said, the first and last stand of trying 143 00:07:58,800 --> 00:08:01,320 Speaker 2: to defeat Donald try in this primary is going to 144 00:08:01,360 --> 00:08:03,320 Speaker 2: be Iowa. Because if it doesn't happen there, the chance 145 00:08:03,320 --> 00:08:05,920 Speaker 2: of been happening anywhere else is very slim. And I mean, 146 00:08:05,960 --> 00:08:10,920 Speaker 2: here is Dysantis, and you hadn't seen a lot of this, 147 00:08:10,920 --> 00:08:14,280 Speaker 2: This has changed a little bit recently. DeSantis knows that 148 00:08:14,320 --> 00:08:16,240 Speaker 2: he can't get at Trump on the debate stage because 149 00:08:16,240 --> 00:08:18,080 Speaker 2: Trump's not showing up on the debate stage. And here 150 00:08:18,120 --> 00:08:22,360 Speaker 2: he is. This has cut six and he's talking about 151 00:08:22,440 --> 00:08:26,520 Speaker 2: the Trump effect on other Republicans. Play it as somebody 152 00:08:26,520 --> 00:08:27,280 Speaker 2: who's a leader. 153 00:08:27,520 --> 00:08:31,760 Speaker 5: You should want people who are delivering big victories for 154 00:08:31,840 --> 00:08:35,960 Speaker 5: their constituents standing up for conservative values, which Kim has done. 155 00:08:36,040 --> 00:08:38,800 Speaker 5: And it's almost like with Donald Trump, if you don't 156 00:08:38,880 --> 00:08:41,160 Speaker 5: kiss the ring, you could be the best governor ever 157 00:08:41,200 --> 00:08:44,480 Speaker 5: and he'll trash you. You could be a terrible corrupt politician. 158 00:08:44,720 --> 00:08:46,680 Speaker 5: But if you kiss his ring, then all of a sudden, 159 00:08:46,720 --> 00:08:47,400 Speaker 5: he'll praise you. 160 00:08:48,480 --> 00:08:51,880 Speaker 2: So there are punches being thrown here that we weren't 161 00:08:51,880 --> 00:08:53,360 Speaker 2: really seeing in the past. Yeah. 162 00:08:53,360 --> 00:08:56,160 Speaker 3: And the other thing I would factor in is, and 163 00:08:56,200 --> 00:08:59,520 Speaker 3: this is what I think everybody would say, don't pay 164 00:08:59,559 --> 00:09:02,400 Speaker 3: a lot of it attention to national polls on the 165 00:09:02,480 --> 00:09:06,520 Speaker 3: Republican primary race because most people are not really paying 166 00:09:06,559 --> 00:09:09,880 Speaker 3: attention because the primary season hasn't really started in their state. 167 00:09:09,920 --> 00:09:13,920 Speaker 3: There's not advertisements going on. What's interesting to me here 168 00:09:14,240 --> 00:09:19,000 Speaker 3: is everybody believes that Iowa could and or would be 169 00:09:19,120 --> 00:09:22,040 Speaker 3: a slingshot. So I think what you're going to start 170 00:09:22,080 --> 00:09:25,680 Speaker 3: to hear from DeSantis and maybe even Nicky Haley too, 171 00:09:26,600 --> 00:09:28,920 Speaker 3: is if you're not in the top three, you should 172 00:09:29,000 --> 00:09:32,240 Speaker 3: drop out. It meaning in the top three in Iowa. 173 00:09:32,320 --> 00:09:34,240 Speaker 3: And I think DeSantis is going to argue if you're 174 00:09:34,280 --> 00:09:36,440 Speaker 3: not in the top two, you should drop out. The 175 00:09:36,520 --> 00:09:41,319 Speaker 3: Desantas strategy is predicated on Iowa. The Nicky Haley strategy 176 00:09:41,800 --> 00:09:44,880 Speaker 3: is predicated on Hey, I'm gonna be competitive in Iowa. 177 00:09:44,960 --> 00:09:47,679 Speaker 3: I'm gonna be competitive in New Hampshire. Then I'm gonna 178 00:09:47,679 --> 00:09:51,520 Speaker 3: win South Carolina, and it's gonna be me versus Trump 179 00:09:51,800 --> 00:09:54,160 Speaker 3: by the time you get into Super Tuesday and all 180 00:09:54,200 --> 00:09:56,320 Speaker 3: of the rest of the primaries that are out there. 181 00:09:56,880 --> 00:10:00,640 Speaker 3: So if you're Nicky Hayley, you want for there to 182 00:10:00,720 --> 00:10:04,280 Speaker 3: be a much less successful Ron DeSantis performance in Iowa. 183 00:10:04,679 --> 00:10:06,679 Speaker 3: And if you're Santis, remember they haven't spent a lot 184 00:10:06,679 --> 00:10:09,360 Speaker 3: of time in New Hampshire Comparatively, They've basically gone with 185 00:10:09,400 --> 00:10:12,199 Speaker 3: the burn the boat strategy on Iowa. So the question 186 00:10:12,280 --> 00:10:15,640 Speaker 3: would be what kind of slingshot do you get if 187 00:10:15,679 --> 00:10:18,760 Speaker 3: you're competitive and come in second. Certainly if you win, 188 00:10:18,920 --> 00:10:22,120 Speaker 3: that's a totally different story. But if you're competitive and 189 00:10:22,160 --> 00:10:24,720 Speaker 3: you come in second, what kind of slingshot do you 190 00:10:24,800 --> 00:10:29,199 Speaker 3: get into New Hampshire and into South Carolina? And also 191 00:10:29,280 --> 00:10:30,920 Speaker 3: when are some of these guys gonna drop out? But 192 00:10:31,120 --> 00:10:33,720 Speaker 3: tomorrow and we're down in Miami, there's only gonna be 193 00:10:33,720 --> 00:10:34,960 Speaker 3: five people on the stage. 194 00:10:35,679 --> 00:10:39,319 Speaker 2: To me, this is a three person race. I love 195 00:10:39,400 --> 00:10:39,679 Speaker 2: the Bike. 196 00:10:39,840 --> 00:10:42,360 Speaker 3: I think he's super talented. He seems to have peaked 197 00:10:42,400 --> 00:10:44,280 Speaker 3: around Labor Day and he has begun to decline, and 198 00:10:44,320 --> 00:10:47,080 Speaker 3: maybe he has a tremendous day tomorrow. I don't think 199 00:10:47,080 --> 00:10:49,920 Speaker 3: Tim Scott is going to be able to make a move. 200 00:10:50,240 --> 00:10:52,720 Speaker 3: I think we're basically down to it's gonna be Nicky 201 00:10:52,760 --> 00:10:55,439 Speaker 3: Haley or Ron DeSantis going head to head with Trump 202 00:10:55,480 --> 00:10:55,920 Speaker 3: at some point. 203 00:10:56,000 --> 00:10:58,200 Speaker 2: I do think if I'm making a prediction for tomorrow, 204 00:10:58,240 --> 00:10:59,760 Speaker 2: and I guess I'm kind of jumping ahead because this 205 00:10:59,760 --> 00:11:03,440 Speaker 2: will be more tomorrow show, look for some fireworks with 206 00:11:03,520 --> 00:11:07,560 Speaker 2: Viveke and Nicky on that stage, because last time around, 207 00:11:08,160 --> 00:11:11,040 Speaker 2: NICKI really Nicky Haley really went after him and she 208 00:11:11,160 --> 00:11:14,480 Speaker 2: surged afterwards. I misread the public mood on that. I 209 00:11:14,480 --> 00:11:16,760 Speaker 2: thought maybe it would be people would say, oh, she 210 00:11:16,880 --> 00:11:19,520 Speaker 2: was too aggressive. No, her numbers actually moved in the 211 00:11:20,040 --> 00:11:23,760 Speaker 2: positive direction, and at Viveke's expense. I think so Viveke, 212 00:11:24,800 --> 00:11:27,560 Speaker 2: you know, he's very deft, very very talented on the 213 00:11:27,559 --> 00:11:30,200 Speaker 2: debate stage. I think he may decide that he's going 214 00:11:30,240 --> 00:11:31,360 Speaker 2: to try to turn that around. 215 00:11:31,480 --> 00:11:33,400 Speaker 3: And I think Tim Scott's going to come after Nicky 216 00:11:33,400 --> 00:11:35,440 Speaker 3: Haley because we had Tim Scott on was It last week. 217 00:11:35,600 --> 00:11:39,200 Speaker 2: He was surprised that she went after him, came across. 218 00:11:39,040 --> 00:11:41,720 Speaker 3: Stun that he threw a punch at him, and so 219 00:11:42,360 --> 00:11:46,360 Speaker 3: I suspect that Tim Scott. Remember Tim Scott and Nicki Haley, 220 00:11:46,400 --> 00:11:49,559 Speaker 3: they had their initial almost shadow primary because they're both 221 00:11:49,559 --> 00:11:52,680 Speaker 3: from a relatively small state of South Carolina. Nicky Haley 222 00:11:52,720 --> 00:11:55,160 Speaker 3: has now surged ahead of Tim Scott. They both can't 223 00:11:55,200 --> 00:11:58,560 Speaker 3: really advance to the to the next round proverbial league speaking, 224 00:11:58,960 --> 00:12:03,120 Speaker 3: unless something changed just for Tim Scott soon. Then I 225 00:12:03,200 --> 00:12:05,400 Speaker 3: think Nikki Haley is in a really good spot. 226 00:12:05,480 --> 00:12:05,680 Speaker 2: Now. 227 00:12:05,920 --> 00:12:08,520 Speaker 3: Tim Scott's probably thinking, because he's done the burn the 228 00:12:08,559 --> 00:12:11,400 Speaker 3: boat strategy too, to go all in on Iowa. He's 229 00:12:11,440 --> 00:12:16,040 Speaker 3: probably thinking, if I'm thinking Tim Scott strategically, he's thinking, hey, 230 00:12:16,040 --> 00:12:19,280 Speaker 3: can I beat Nicky Haley in Iowa? And argue that 231 00:12:19,320 --> 00:12:21,920 Speaker 3: she needs to drop out because I am the guy 232 00:12:21,960 --> 00:12:26,120 Speaker 3: who has established the more bonafides in that respect. I 233 00:12:26,240 --> 00:12:30,160 Speaker 3: just think this week, with the debate tomorrow, we got 234 00:12:30,200 --> 00:12:32,959 Speaker 3: a special guest scheduled for tomorrow that I think you 235 00:12:33,040 --> 00:12:37,320 Speaker 3: guys are gonna enjoy to break down all this. I 236 00:12:37,440 --> 00:12:40,920 Speaker 3: think you're going to find that there is a lot 237 00:12:40,960 --> 00:12:44,280 Speaker 3: of movement once we get through the Wednesday debate and 238 00:12:44,320 --> 00:12:46,000 Speaker 3: there's a week to kind of see whether or not 239 00:12:46,040 --> 00:12:48,360 Speaker 3: the polls move at all. I think it's gonna be 240 00:12:48,480 --> 00:12:51,880 Speaker 3: hard to argue if you haven't made the move by 241 00:12:51,880 --> 00:12:54,800 Speaker 3: this debate tomorrow, because then you get in get into 242 00:12:55,080 --> 00:12:58,199 Speaker 3: again Thanksgiving, and then you get into Christmas and then boom, 243 00:12:58,240 --> 00:13:02,320 Speaker 3: the vote's already started in Iowa. This is the moving time. 244 00:13:02,480 --> 00:13:04,920 Speaker 3: If you don't move, it ain't gonna happen. We're gonna 245 00:13:04,920 --> 00:13:06,960 Speaker 3: get more of this. And also we got to share 246 00:13:06,960 --> 00:13:11,600 Speaker 3: with you these RFK junior numbers in swing states running 247 00:13:11,640 --> 00:13:12,920 Speaker 3: as a third party candidate. 248 00:13:13,760 --> 00:13:17,880 Speaker 2: It's a pretty crazy the percentages that he looks to 249 00:13:17,880 --> 00:13:21,640 Speaker 2: be pot that he could possibly pull here and it'll 250 00:13:21,679 --> 00:13:24,199 Speaker 2: change the election. I mean that's it'll definitely change the election. 251 00:13:24,280 --> 00:13:27,000 Speaker 2: It's not a on the outskirts on the on the 252 00:13:27,040 --> 00:13:30,280 Speaker 2: margin situation. So what does that mean and what's the 253 00:13:30,320 --> 00:13:32,599 Speaker 2: Trump strategy for dealing with that. I think this is 254 00:13:32,600 --> 00:13:34,840 Speaker 2: a discussion we have to have eight hundred two two 255 00:13:34,920 --> 00:13:37,080 Speaker 2: two A A two. Give us a call. Let us 256 00:13:37,120 --> 00:13:39,480 Speaker 2: know what you think about election day to day. If 257 00:13:39,520 --> 00:13:41,840 Speaker 2: you're in a state where there's a really important Yes, Kentucky, 258 00:13:41,840 --> 00:13:44,720 Speaker 2: we're talking about you, but also stuff going on in Ohio. 259 00:13:44,840 --> 00:13:48,360 Speaker 2: A lot of the back and forth here has to 260 00:13:48,400 --> 00:13:52,960 Speaker 2: do with abortion, on with state constitutions, and I know 261 00:13:53,000 --> 00:13:54,800 Speaker 2: that's an issue, a big issue in Virginia, big issue 262 00:13:54,840 --> 00:13:58,560 Speaker 2: in Ohio. So let us know if your state is 263 00:13:58,600 --> 00:14:00,640 Speaker 2: in the midst of a really important elefe today, what 264 00:14:00,840 --> 00:14:02,520 Speaker 2: you think is going on.

If you can't get to 269 00:14:15,080 --> 00:14:17,960 Speaker 2: the range regularly, the next best thing is training at 270 00:14:18,000 --> 00:14:21,960 Speaker 2: home in a safe, protected space with an electronic training device. 271 00:14:22,200 --> 00:14:24,920 Speaker 2: The mantis X.

And there are some things to talk 312 00:16:32,280 --> 00:16:35,920 Speaker 2: about quite quite a few topics Trump to be discussing. 313 00:16:35,960 --> 00:16:38,240 Speaker 2: With the things happening Trump, you know, it's been que 314 00:16:38,240 --> 00:16:40,080 Speaker 2: I know it's been very quiet for him recently. There 315 00:16:40,080 --> 00:16:41,800 Speaker 2: hasn't been a lot going on in his life, but 316 00:16:42,080 --> 00:16:43,840 Speaker 2: I have a feeling we'll have some things to discuss 317 00:16:43,880 --> 00:16:44,440 Speaker 2: with him. 318 00:16:44,800 --> 00:16:46,960 Speaker 3: No doubt it is going to be interesting and among 319 00:16:47,120 --> 00:16:49,160 Speaker 3: many things that we will be discussing with us, and 320 00:16:49,160 --> 00:16:51,160 Speaker 3: again he's going to join us for the entire third 321 00:16:51,200 --> 00:16:56,720 Speaker 3: hour live on air in tomorrow's program. There's an interesting 322 00:16:56,800 --> 00:17:00,600 Speaker 3: editorial in the Wall Street Journal and I was reading 323 00:17:00,600 --> 00:17:03,160 Speaker 3: it this morning, Buck, and the headline is will Trump 324 00:17:03,240 --> 00:17:07,520 Speaker 3: be indicted into office? And the subheading TV ads focused 325 00:17:07,560 --> 00:17:12,600 Speaker 3: on his legal troubles backfired so they never aired, And 326 00:17:12,680 --> 00:17:16,000 Speaker 3: so this is really interesting. I'm reading from this editorial 327 00:17:16,040 --> 00:17:17,639 Speaker 3: book because it's one of the topics that we've been 328 00:17:17,640 --> 00:17:21,600 Speaker 3: discussing a great deal ever since the lawfair against Trump began. 329 00:17:21,760 --> 00:17:24,760 Speaker 3: The idea for Democrats has been, we're going to charge 330 00:17:24,800 --> 00:17:28,359 Speaker 3: him with felonies. That's gonna make him unpalatable to large 331 00:17:28,359 --> 00:17:31,080 Speaker 3: segments of the population. They're not going to respond to him. 332 00:17:32,200 --> 00:17:39,320 Speaker 3: The ads according to this were really interesting. And here 333 00:17:39,359 --> 00:17:43,000 Speaker 3: I'm reading from this editorial for mister Trump's critics who 334 00:17:43,080 --> 00:17:46,159 Speaker 3: believe the legal system can knock him out of the 335 00:17:46,240 --> 00:17:51,560 Speaker 3: twenty twenty four presidential election. His civil testimony Monday was 336 00:17:51,840 --> 00:17:55,040 Speaker 3: again we talked about that a little bit yesterday, but 337 00:17:55,480 --> 00:18:00,359 Speaker 3: there was an article from a win it backpack in 338 00:18:00,440 --> 00:18:05,080 Speaker 3: Politico says the group tested four tv ads focused on 339 00:18:05,160 --> 00:18:09,280 Speaker 3: mister Trump's legal problems, and here's a quote. All four 340 00:18:09,480 --> 00:18:15,040 Speaker 3: ads tested failed to move support away from Trump, and 341 00:18:15,160 --> 00:18:18,480 Speaker 3: hear it from the Wall Street Journal even more fascinating, 342 00:18:19,200 --> 00:18:25,000 Speaker 3: three of the commercials increased mister Trump's support. Two of 343 00:18:25,040 --> 00:18:31,400 Speaker 3: the tv ads backfired across almost all demographic groups. And 344 00:18:32,240 --> 00:18:36,040 Speaker 3: the argument that the ads were going to be effective, 345 00:18:36,160 --> 00:18:39,920 Speaker 3: they made them, they tested them, they found that they 346 00:18:39,920 --> 00:18:44,920 Speaker 3: were effective for Trump, and so they never actually ran them. 347 00:18:45,480 --> 00:18:51,320 Speaker 3: So Buck, this is where kind of the calculus for Democrats, 348 00:18:51,400 --> 00:18:54,200 Speaker 3: I think is collapsing around them. I think if they 349 00:18:54,200 --> 00:18:58,280 Speaker 3: were being honest, they never would have expected a year 350 00:18:58,400 --> 00:19:01,640 Speaker 3: out that they would be in a position where Trump 351 00:19:01,720 --> 00:19:04,840 Speaker 3: would be leading in five of the six swing states. 352 00:19:05,720 --> 00:19:09,400 Speaker 3: And their argument has been basically all this law fair 353 00:19:09,600 --> 00:19:13,240 Speaker 3: was going to help them. I wonder how much that 354 00:19:13,359 --> 00:19:16,600 Speaker 3: is actually blowing up in their faces, and it's strengthening 355 00:19:16,680 --> 00:19:20,120 Speaker 3: Trump not only with Republican primary voters, which I think 356 00:19:20,119 --> 00:19:23,280 Speaker 3: has been the case, but also with independents who see 357 00:19:23,280 --> 00:19:25,919 Speaker 3: this for what it is, a political prosecution. 358 00:19:26,160 --> 00:19:30,280 Speaker 2: If you look to the beginning of trump Ism, and 359 00:19:30,920 --> 00:19:34,920 Speaker 2: remember what was sure. There was build a wall, there 360 00:19:35,040 --> 00:19:38,919 Speaker 2: was the talk about the border and illegal immigration, but 361 00:19:39,080 --> 00:19:45,160 Speaker 2: there was a consistent refrain from particularly the earliest Trump 362 00:19:45,359 --> 00:19:48,960 Speaker 2: maga folks out there, and it was that he was 363 00:19:49,359 --> 00:19:54,160 Speaker 2: a single, solitary extended finger in the direction of the establishment, 364 00:19:54,240 --> 00:19:58,600 Speaker 2: the machinery, and the uniparty, that he was a big 365 00:19:58,680 --> 00:20:01,119 Speaker 2: slap in the face. Even described him as kind of 366 00:20:01,119 --> 00:20:04,800 Speaker 2: a weapon against the matrix or against the machinery, the 367 00:20:04,840 --> 00:20:09,280 Speaker 2: apparatus of uniparty control and the way things had been done. 368 00:20:10,040 --> 00:20:13,240 Speaker 2: And that has been even though he was the president 369 00:20:13,280 --> 00:20:16,720 Speaker 2: for four years, in a sense, resurrected that that sentiment, 370 00:20:16,760 --> 00:20:20,800 Speaker 2: that feeling, because they have now entirely weaponized the machine 371 00:20:20,840 --> 00:20:24,320 Speaker 2: against him. It used to feel like he stepped in 372 00:20:24,359 --> 00:20:26,840 Speaker 2: and said, this is what's really going on. This is 373 00:20:26,880 --> 00:20:31,800 Speaker 2: how the American people are being mistreated by the very 374 00:20:32,760 --> 00:20:36,520 Speaker 2: apparatus and bureaucracy and you know, government leadership that's supposed 375 00:20:36,560 --> 00:20:39,760 Speaker 2: to be serving their interests. And now we've seen them 376 00:20:40,240 --> 00:20:44,760 Speaker 2: break precedent and cross every rubicon and all the cliches 377 00:20:44,800 --> 00:20:48,040 Speaker 2: apply to try to destroy him. So that there's one 378 00:20:48,040 --> 00:20:51,240 Speaker 2: part of it for me that it reminds me of 379 00:20:51,280 --> 00:20:54,399 Speaker 2: what Trump's initial appeal was, which was that he was 380 00:20:54,480 --> 00:20:58,880 Speaker 2: a weapon of destruction against the uniparty machine and against 381 00:20:58,920 --> 00:21:01,160 Speaker 2: whether you want to say it's the sort of globalist mentality, 382 00:21:01,200 --> 00:21:05,240 Speaker 2: the left wing authoritarian apparatus, and that he was looked 383 00:21:05,280 --> 00:21:07,560 Speaker 2: drained the swamp. We remember that that was one of 384 00:21:07,560 --> 00:21:10,439 Speaker 2: the big rallying cries of Trump twenty sixteen and for 385 00:21:10,480 --> 00:21:14,320 Speaker 2: his first term in office. In addition to that, though, 386 00:21:14,359 --> 00:21:16,520 Speaker 2: and this is this brings me to the legal side 387 00:21:16,520 --> 00:21:21,200 Speaker 2: of it. There was a perception in twenty sixteen that 388 00:21:21,359 --> 00:21:25,400 Speaker 2: the more that the public saw Trump, the more likely 389 00:21:25,440 --> 00:21:27,600 Speaker 2: it was Hillary would win. Oh yeah, Sure. There were 390 00:21:27,640 --> 00:21:30,679 Speaker 2: these people that like the MAGA rallies with the hats 391 00:21:30,720 --> 00:21:34,520 Speaker 2: on and everything. But CNN and MSNBC and NPR and 392 00:21:34,560 --> 00:21:37,280 Speaker 2: the New York Times they thought it was this amazing 393 00:21:37,359 --> 00:21:41,600 Speaker 2: like it was like a clown show that ensured Hillary's victory. 394 00:21:41,640 --> 00:21:44,720 Speaker 2: It was one of the biggest miscalculations. 395 00:21:43,840 --> 00:21:46,480 Speaker 3: In thought they could make money on the ratings of 396 00:21:46,600 --> 00:21:49,040 Speaker 3: Trump and it was actually going to be the best 397 00:21:49,040 --> 00:21:51,720 Speaker 3: of both worlds. Correct, they would get the ratings, but 398 00:21:51,880 --> 00:21:54,679 Speaker 3: Hillary would still they gave Trump effectively. I think the 399 00:21:54,720 --> 00:21:58,040 Speaker 3: CNN assessment was by running his rallies the equival of 400 00:21:58,040 --> 00:22:01,440 Speaker 3: like a billion dollars of free media, thinking that they 401 00:22:01,440 --> 00:22:04,040 Speaker 3: would get the huge ratings boost. And then also they 402 00:22:04,040 --> 00:22:07,240 Speaker 3: were just that effectively everybody was sitting around eating their 403 00:22:07,240 --> 00:22:10,240 Speaker 3: great poop Paul, drinking out of tiny teacups and be like, haha, 404 00:22:10,280 --> 00:22:13,040 Speaker 3: Trump will never be president, right, and then we saw 405 00:22:13,040 --> 00:22:16,200 Speaker 3: what happened in twenty sixteen. They may have and I 406 00:22:16,680 --> 00:22:19,520 Speaker 3: focus on the may I don't know, because beginning EA, 407 00:22:19,520 --> 00:22:21,200 Speaker 3: those people say, why do you say Trump is already 408 00:22:21,240 --> 00:22:21,680 Speaker 3: the nominator? 409 00:22:21,720 --> 00:22:23,399 Speaker 2: Why do you say he's not already. We're not saying 410 00:22:23,400 --> 00:22:26,359 Speaker 2: anything about what is because we don't know yet. But 411 00:22:26,440 --> 00:22:30,040 Speaker 2: there seems to be a very realistic possibility here Clay 412 00:22:30,720 --> 00:22:36,040 Speaker 2: that they may have made another monumental miscalculations with these 413 00:22:36,080 --> 00:22:38,840 Speaker 2: indictments the same way that it was. Put him on TV, 414 00:22:39,040 --> 00:22:40,600 Speaker 2: and no one will vote for him when the general 415 00:22:40,640 --> 00:22:42,320 Speaker 2: election comes out, No one, but you know, there's no 416 00:22:42,359 --> 00:22:45,280 Speaker 2: way he'll win ninety seven percent chance of Hillary indict 417 00:22:45,359 --> 00:22:48,119 Speaker 2: him four times, drag him into civil court. There's no 418 00:22:48,160 --> 00:22:51,359 Speaker 2: way independences will vote for him. The Democrats may have 419 00:22:51,400 --> 00:22:53,119 Speaker 2: misread the mood of the American people. 420 00:22:52,880 --> 00:22:56,320 Speaker 3: On this May well and the data on these ads 421 00:22:56,359 --> 00:23:00,879 Speaker 3: that they were going to try to run is incredibly 422 00:23:00,920 --> 00:23:04,440 Speaker 3: troubling for them. So again, think about where we are 423 00:23:04,600 --> 00:23:08,960 Speaker 3: with the New York Times six swing state poll. Remember 424 00:23:09,400 --> 00:23:14,920 Speaker 3: Biden's campaign spent twenty five million in these swing states, 425 00:23:15,000 --> 00:23:18,480 Speaker 3: because you don't spend that money if things are looking 426 00:23:18,520 --> 00:23:22,680 Speaker 3: good and the numbers are still bad. This makes me 427 00:23:22,800 --> 00:23:27,280 Speaker 3: think buck that ultimately, as we sit here one year out, 428 00:23:27,320 --> 00:23:29,120 Speaker 3: and by the way, it is election day in many 429 00:23:29,119 --> 00:23:31,560 Speaker 3: different states, and we encourage everybody out there in an 430 00:23:31,640 --> 00:23:37,800 Speaker 3: election state Pennsylvania, Mississippi, Ohio, Virginia, Kentucky especially, go vote 431 00:23:37,960 --> 00:23:40,920 Speaker 3: make sure that your voice is heard. But a year 432 00:23:40,960 --> 00:23:45,199 Speaker 3: from now, I think we're going to spend billions of 433 00:23:45,280 --> 00:23:50,240 Speaker 3: dollars on both directions, and everybody is already going to 434 00:23:50,400 --> 00:23:53,160 Speaker 3: have pretty much made up their mind on Trump and 435 00:23:53,280 --> 00:23:57,720 Speaker 3: Biden because both of them have been president. And I 436 00:23:57,800 --> 00:23:59,760 Speaker 3: think what this election is going to come down to 437 00:23:59,880 --> 00:24:03,879 Speaker 3: is who do you trust on the economy, And if 438 00:24:03,920 --> 00:24:06,879 Speaker 3: I'm right about that, Trump's gonna win if he's the nominee. 439 00:24:06,960 --> 00:24:09,760 Speaker 3: Now I've said on this show and I'll continue to 440 00:24:09,800 --> 00:24:12,760 Speaker 3: say it, I don't just think Trump would beat Biden. 441 00:24:13,920 --> 00:24:16,439 Speaker 3: If Trump is the nominee, he's gonna win. I think, 442 00:24:17,000 --> 00:24:19,119 Speaker 3: based on where we're sitting right now, I think that 443 00:24:19,200 --> 00:24:22,360 Speaker 3: Nicky Haley would win. I think that Ron DeSantis would win. 444 00:24:22,680 --> 00:24:24,920 Speaker 3: I think that and you disagree on this one. VI 445 00:24:25,000 --> 00:24:27,440 Speaker 3: vike Ramaswami would win, which is why. 446 00:24:27,359 --> 00:24:29,640 Speaker 2: That makes it sound like I'm ac either way. I'm 447 00:24:29,680 --> 00:24:31,080 Speaker 2: just I just think you'd have a tough time. 448 00:24:31,119 --> 00:24:33,919 Speaker 3: But as you will, name recognition, you know, I I like, 449 00:24:34,440 --> 00:24:36,720 Speaker 3: I just don't know if you agree with you agree 450 00:24:36,760 --> 00:24:39,920 Speaker 3: with me that Trump, DeSantis, and Nicky Haley would all 451 00:24:39,960 --> 00:24:42,760 Speaker 3: beat Biden if they ended up being the nominee if 452 00:24:42,800 --> 00:24:45,639 Speaker 3: the election were held right now, right okay, if it 453 00:24:45,680 --> 00:24:48,680 Speaker 3: were now, I can't say in a year. The difference 454 00:24:48,760 --> 00:24:52,840 Speaker 3: on DeSantis and Nicki Haley and Vivek is they aren't 455 00:24:52,880 --> 00:24:54,080 Speaker 3: really that well known. 456 00:24:54,440 --> 00:25:02,680 Speaker 2: I mean, you guys, then the name recognition politics played 457 00:25:02,720 --> 00:25:05,400 Speaker 2: a lot of people who'd be like vak who still. 458 00:25:05,200 --> 00:25:08,240 Speaker 3: But everybody knows Trump and Biden. And I think this 459 00:25:08,320 --> 00:25:11,520 Speaker 3: is the problem that the Biden people are recognizing. 460 00:25:11,560 --> 00:25:12,160 Speaker 2: And this is why. 461 00:25:12,240 --> 00:25:15,040 Speaker 3: And I was driving on the slowest uber ride possible 462 00:25:15,080 --> 00:25:17,480 Speaker 3: on nine ninety five last night to get to Miami. 463 00:25:18,200 --> 00:25:21,560 Speaker 3: I was talking with my wife about this. She is 464 00:25:21,600 --> 00:25:25,680 Speaker 3: of the opinion that the big fix is in and 465 00:25:25,720 --> 00:25:28,760 Speaker 3: that at some point Biden's getting wiped out. She just 466 00:25:29,119 --> 00:25:31,040 Speaker 3: she's not a political person in the same way that 467 00:25:31,119 --> 00:25:35,280 Speaker 3: you or I would be, But she just is of 468 00:25:35,320 --> 00:25:39,560 Speaker 3: the opinion that at some point the Biden rug gets 469 00:25:39,560 --> 00:25:42,040 Speaker 3: pulled out from underneath him. And I'm she's not like 470 00:25:42,080 --> 00:25:44,959 Speaker 3: plugged in like like you and me are. I still 471 00:25:45,040 --> 00:25:49,800 Speaker 3: buck just cannot conceive of the fact that Joe Biden 472 00:25:49,920 --> 00:25:52,360 Speaker 3: is actually going to be the nominee. So as much 473 00:25:52,400 --> 00:25:54,760 Speaker 3: time as we may talk about Trump Biden and RFK 474 00:25:54,920 --> 00:25:58,000 Speaker 3: Junior and all these things, I still feel like, even 475 00:25:58,080 --> 00:26:01,160 Speaker 3: all the way up to intil Doll, they nominate Joe 476 00:26:01,200 --> 00:26:04,040 Speaker 3: Biden officially at the DNS. Now, you're gonna make me 477 00:26:04,080 --> 00:26:06,200 Speaker 3: sweat out, sweat my bet here the whole time, you 478 00:26:07,440 --> 00:26:10,760 Speaker 3: and Tucker, you guys have all the fix is in? 479 00:26:10,880 --> 00:26:13,080 Speaker 3: Now the question I asked my wife last night because 480 00:26:13,119 --> 00:26:14,600 Speaker 3: she's like, the fix is in. There's no way they're 481 00:26:14,600 --> 00:26:16,920 Speaker 3: gonna run Biden. And I said, Okay, who makes that call? 482 00:26:18,320 --> 00:26:20,440 Speaker 2: The only person who is Joe Biden. This is even 483 00:26:20,720 --> 00:26:23,520 Speaker 2: you asked, That's my argument. The only person is Joe Biden, 484 00:26:23,680 --> 00:26:27,239 Speaker 2: and Joe Biden is a guy who gets up. He 485 00:26:27,320 --> 00:26:30,600 Speaker 2: lives for this. You will have to you know, he 486 00:26:30,640 --> 00:26:32,840 Speaker 2: will have to be carried out of the White House. 487 00:26:32,880 --> 00:26:35,600 Speaker 2: He is not a hard to give this up willingly. 488 00:26:35,920 --> 00:26:37,800 Speaker 3: There her argument, and I think there are other people 489 00:26:37,840 --> 00:26:39,600 Speaker 3: out there who say this is I don't know who 490 00:26:39,640 --> 00:26:40,880 Speaker 3: the shadowy cabal. 491 00:26:40,600 --> 00:26:43,520 Speaker 2: That runs the Democrat Party is. This is her argument. 492 00:26:44,200 --> 00:26:46,880 Speaker 3: I agree with you that Joe Biden, what I said 493 00:26:46,960 --> 00:26:51,359 Speaker 3: yesterday is an intervention style I could see working where 494 00:26:51,400 --> 00:26:55,560 Speaker 3: you have Gavin Newsom and Pritzker and Whitmer and they're 495 00:26:55,600 --> 00:26:57,919 Speaker 3: all like, hey, we don't want to do this, but 496 00:26:58,080 --> 00:27:00,360 Speaker 3: we are going to announce. And it's not just one 497 00:27:00,400 --> 00:27:02,879 Speaker 3: guy walking up and yanking the rugout from underneath him. 498 00:27:02,920 --> 00:27:06,200 Speaker 3: It's multiple Democrats saying we're gonna run, but we want 499 00:27:06,280 --> 00:27:08,399 Speaker 3: you to make this choice on your own. We're not 500 00:27:08,400 --> 00:27:10,679 Speaker 3: gonna go public, but in you know, two weeks, we're 501 00:27:10,680 --> 00:27:14,120 Speaker 3: gonna do okay. Her argument is that somebody's gonna that's 502 00:27:14,200 --> 00:27:19,960 Speaker 3: irruption that is slowly trickling out the Democrat Party, everybody 503 00:27:19,960 --> 00:27:21,639 Speaker 3: claiming oh, there's nothing here. 504 00:27:21,960 --> 00:27:25,200 Speaker 2: That's a very dangerous game to play with a sitting president. 505 00:27:25,840 --> 00:27:29,600 Speaker 3: That's what I said. I don't know this, but I 506 00:27:29,760 --> 00:27:31,800 Speaker 3: but I'm hearing this starting to. 507 00:27:31,720 --> 00:27:33,920 Speaker 2: Get into like a Daniel de Silva novel or something, 508 00:27:34,960 --> 00:27:35,960 Speaker 2: or what I told her. 509 00:27:36,160 --> 00:27:39,520 Speaker 3: I said, you realize House of Cards is a TV show, right, 510 00:27:40,119 --> 00:27:42,520 Speaker 3: And but I think there are a lot of people 511 00:27:42,560 --> 00:27:45,879 Speaker 3: out there that do believe that the fix is going 512 00:27:45,960 --> 00:27:47,040 Speaker 3: to be called in on. 513 00:27:47,520 --> 00:27:52,120 Speaker 2: It's it's I sit here and I just keep shouting 514 00:27:52,160 --> 00:27:54,360 Speaker 2: this in the wilderness, although there are more and more 515 00:27:54,400 --> 00:27:55,840 Speaker 2: people who are now sitting next to me in the 516 00:27:55,840 --> 00:27:59,840 Speaker 2: wilderness shouting the same thing. The power of presidential in 517 00:28:00,080 --> 00:28:05,000 Speaker 2: humbancy is vast. The idea that Democrats would allow for 518 00:28:05,160 --> 00:28:09,600 Speaker 2: there to be some other last minute thrown together. There 519 00:28:09,800 --> 00:28:13,160 Speaker 2: is no infrastructure, there is no plan. Up to this point. 520 00:28:13,520 --> 00:28:16,040 Speaker 2: You have Democrats who are writing op eds who are saying, 521 00:28:16,080 --> 00:28:18,440 Speaker 2: we need Biden this stepisode, or we need if there 522 00:28:18,520 --> 00:28:20,439 Speaker 2: was a plan, they wouldn't be writing those op eds 523 00:28:20,480 --> 00:28:22,080 Speaker 2: because it would already be in motion and they would 524 00:28:22,119 --> 00:28:25,640 Speaker 2: know about it. David Axelrod would already what unless they're 525 00:28:25,640 --> 00:28:27,280 Speaker 2: like throwing a smoke screen up there no no. 526 00:28:27,200 --> 00:28:31,440 Speaker 3: I'm saying, unless Obama is pulling all the strings and 527 00:28:31,680 --> 00:28:38,240 Speaker 3: at the Democratic National Convention. Suddenly Michelle Obama, no, out this. 528 00:28:40,800 --> 00:28:45,440 Speaker 2: Obama. That Tablet magazine article that we read buff it 529 00:28:45,480 --> 00:28:48,240 Speaker 2: was amazing, But that was Obama's advisors, and it was 530 00:28:48,280 --> 00:28:51,800 Speaker 2: the Obama apparatus, and it was Obama, of course, And 531 00:28:51,840 --> 00:28:55,040 Speaker 2: that's very that's very string. No one has ever stayed 532 00:28:55,040 --> 00:28:58,080 Speaker 2: in DC's post president. You can get from his house 533 00:28:58,120 --> 00:28:59,840 Speaker 2: to the White House in less than ten minutes in 534 00:28:59,880 --> 00:29:02,400 Speaker 2: a car like he's right there. So if you were 535 00:29:02,400 --> 00:29:07,880 Speaker 2: of default Democrat Party royalty, Michelle Obama, she's a big wish. 536 00:29:07,960 --> 00:29:09,200 Speaker 2: He doesn't want it. I'm right. 537 00:29:09,600 --> 00:29:12,360 Speaker 3: How many people actually don't want the job when it's 538 00:29:12,360 --> 00:29:14,800 Speaker 3: offered to them. There's difference between I'm not going to 539 00:29:14,880 --> 00:29:16,720 Speaker 3: interview you. I'm not going to go out to freaking 540 00:29:16,920 --> 00:29:19,560 Speaker 3: you know, like we're gonna find her hand when. 541 00:29:19,480 --> 00:29:21,440 Speaker 2: We asked Trump if he'd make you his VP, because 542 00:29:21,480 --> 00:29:22,960 Speaker 2: I think you know, that puts a lot of things 543 00:29:23,000 --> 00:29:24,880 Speaker 2: in play. So all right, we'll get back to this. 544 00:29:25,640 --> 00:29:28,040 Speaker 2: Is Clay crazy, That's the way we'll put it. At 545 00:29:28,040 --> 00:29:30,120 Speaker 2: eight hundred two A two two A A two Question 546 00:29:30,200 --> 00:29:32,080 Speaker 2: of the day, Question of the hour? Is he crazy 547 00:29:32,120 --> 00:29:33,640 Speaker 2: on this one? Or is there going to be the 548 00:29:33,720 --> 00:29:35,560 Speaker 2: last minute so you think that you're with Bill. Bill 549 00:29:35,560 --> 00:29:37,840 Speaker 2: O'Reilly's been saying this on this show too. It's not 550 00:29:38,480 --> 00:29:41,240 Speaker 2: because because the the standard way, guys, every the clock 551 00:29:41,280 --> 00:29:46,440 Speaker 2: is ticking, I mean the ballot access to put Biden forward. 552 00:29:47,040 --> 00:29:49,960 Speaker 3: I just I think that there's got to be somebody 553 00:29:50,000 --> 00:29:53,800 Speaker 3: out there thinking about the Democratic National Convention, because then 554 00:29:53,840 --> 00:29:57,160 Speaker 3: you let him be president up until the last moment, basically, 555 00:29:57,320 --> 00:29:59,040 Speaker 3: but then the rug gets pulled out. 556 00:29:59,760 --> 00:30:02,120 Speaker 2: Hey one hundred two to two eight two, which one 557 00:30:02,120 --> 00:30:04,920 Speaker 2: of us is nuts.

President Trump will join us, and 579 00:31:15,800 --> 00:31:19,600 Speaker 3: we are joined now by Ron McDaniel, who is putting 580 00:31:19,680 --> 00:31:23,240 Speaker 3: on this debate for the Republican National Committee tomorrow here 581 00:31:23,280 --> 00:31:27,200 Speaker 3: in Miami. It is the third different event of the 582 00:31:27,400 --> 00:31:30,280 Speaker 3: primary calendar debate season. I believe there is a fourth 583 00:31:30,320 --> 00:31:34,800 Speaker 3: coming up soon. My understanding is five candidates have made 584 00:31:34,920 --> 00:31:38,640 Speaker 3: the stage for tomorrow night's debate. What can you tell 585 00:31:38,720 --> 00:31:41,600 Speaker 3: us about tomorrow's event and what should we expect to see? 586 00:31:43,040 --> 00:31:43,400 Speaker 2: Correct? 587 00:31:43,600 --> 00:31:45,840 Speaker 6: Thank you for having me. We have five that have 588 00:31:46,040 --> 00:31:49,959 Speaker 6: made it, Ron DeSantis, the Viak Ramaswani, Nikki Haley, Tim Scott, 589 00:31:51,000 --> 00:31:53,880 Speaker 6: and Chris Christy. I just almost blanked the last one, 590 00:31:54,280 --> 00:31:56,040 Speaker 6: so they've all made it. I do think that you're 591 00:31:56,080 --> 00:31:58,320 Speaker 6: going to have a different format than the past two 592 00:31:58,480 --> 00:32:02,280 Speaker 6: where they'll be time for opening statements and closing statements, 593 00:32:02,600 --> 00:32:05,200 Speaker 6: a longer answer period of a minute and a half 594 00:32:05,400 --> 00:32:07,960 Speaker 6: for each question, And I do expect this will be 595 00:32:08,040 --> 00:32:10,480 Speaker 6: a more policy driven debate. A lot has changed in 596 00:32:10,560 --> 00:32:13,320 Speaker 6: the world since October seventh, and I think you're going 597 00:32:13,360 --> 00:32:15,960 Speaker 6: to hear a lot of national security issues on that 598 00:32:16,080 --> 00:32:16,760 Speaker 6: debate stage. 599 00:32:18,000 --> 00:32:20,520 Speaker 2: So on the national security side of things, obviously big 600 00:32:20,600 --> 00:32:25,040 Speaker 2: focus because of what's going on with Israel and Hamas 601 00:32:25,120 --> 00:32:28,920 Speaker 2: right now, obviously much more Republican than Democrat unity on 602 00:32:29,040 --> 00:32:31,280 Speaker 2: this issue. What do you think, I mean, what are 603 00:32:31,320 --> 00:32:35,160 Speaker 2: your expectations as these candidates are going to be discussing 604 00:32:35,320 --> 00:32:39,000 Speaker 2: their foreign policies. Do you think that there is are 605 00:32:39,320 --> 00:32:42,680 Speaker 2: are there rather heavy distinctions and how they approach things 606 00:32:42,800 --> 00:32:46,000 Speaker 2: like Ukraine and Israel that are on the forefront of 607 00:32:46,040 --> 00:32:49,800 Speaker 2: people's minds, or is the GOP largely on the same page. 608 00:32:51,080 --> 00:32:53,720 Speaker 6: Well, I certainly think with Ukraine you've seen differences within 609 00:32:53,800 --> 00:32:58,120 Speaker 6: our party, and I think the bag Ramaswani and Ramaswami 610 00:32:58,200 --> 00:33:01,239 Speaker 6: and Governor DeSantis have taken in some different positions than 611 00:33:01,280 --> 00:33:04,400 Speaker 6: say in Nikki Haley and Attim Scott. I think with Israel, 612 00:33:05,240 --> 00:33:08,479 Speaker 6: we're all speaking from one voice as a party, as 613 00:33:08,480 --> 00:33:12,360 Speaker 6: opposed to the Democrats. We very clearly understand that it 614 00:33:12,560 --> 00:33:16,680 Speaker 6: was a terror attack by Hamas. I think the calls 615 00:33:16,760 --> 00:33:20,000 Speaker 6: for ceasefire or humanitarian pause are ridiculous when we have 616 00:33:20,040 --> 00:33:24,080 Speaker 6: two hundred hostages still being held. I think these candidates 617 00:33:24,120 --> 00:33:28,520 Speaker 6: showing strength and moral clarity in a time of uncertainty 618 00:33:28,680 --> 00:33:31,200 Speaker 6: in our world will be very clear and a great 619 00:33:31,280 --> 00:33:33,959 Speaker 6: contrast between what we've seen with the Democrat Party as 620 00:33:33,960 --> 00:33:38,480 Speaker 6: they've allowed very very anti Israel, anti Semitic voices to 621 00:33:38,760 --> 00:33:41,160 Speaker 6: wage within their party. And I'm thinking of somebody like 622 00:33:41,280 --> 00:33:44,800 Speaker 6: Rashida to leave from my home state of Michigan, Rona. 623 00:33:45,320 --> 00:33:48,520 Speaker 3: When you look at five on the stage tomorrow, in 624 00:33:48,640 --> 00:33:51,640 Speaker 3: your opinion, if you aren't making it on the stage 625 00:33:51,720 --> 00:33:54,400 Speaker 3: for the debates, is it time for you to drop 626 00:33:54,520 --> 00:33:55,280 Speaker 3: out of the race. 627 00:33:56,640 --> 00:33:59,440 Speaker 6: Well, they'll make that decision for themselves. I think it's 628 00:33:59,520 --> 00:34:02,400 Speaker 6: harder to get traction if you're not on a debate stage. 629 00:34:02,840 --> 00:34:05,640 Speaker 6: And I think our criteria has been very fair. But 630 00:34:05,760 --> 00:34:10,080 Speaker 6: I'll just say this, in the past cycles, in twenty fifteen, 631 00:34:10,640 --> 00:34:13,480 Speaker 6: we still had two debate stages. We still had fourteen 632 00:34:13,560 --> 00:34:16,440 Speaker 6: people who went into Iowa. We're down to five. And 633 00:34:16,560 --> 00:34:19,160 Speaker 6: what is the criteria for this debate? Four percent in 634 00:34:19,239 --> 00:34:22,960 Speaker 6: the national poll and the ability to get seventy thousand 635 00:34:23,040 --> 00:34:25,960 Speaker 6: small dollar online donations. I don't think that that is 636 00:34:26,400 --> 00:34:28,600 Speaker 6: a huge hurdle if you're running for a president. I 637 00:34:28,800 --> 00:34:30,880 Speaker 6: liken it to the Olympics. You don't get to go 638 00:34:30,960 --> 00:34:33,759 Speaker 6: to the Olympics unless you're able to pass certain criteria. 639 00:34:34,200 --> 00:34:37,080 Speaker 6: And I really felt strongly, and so did the debate Committee, 640 00:34:37,320 --> 00:34:39,320 Speaker 6: that we did not want this debate stage to be 641 00:34:39,480 --> 00:34:42,560 Speaker 6: used to propel people to book deals or media contracts 642 00:34:42,680 --> 00:34:45,800 Speaker 6: or cabinet positions. The voters and our party deserve to 643 00:34:45,840 --> 00:34:50,400 Speaker 6: see substitive discussions by candidates who potentially can receive that nomination. 644 00:34:51,400 --> 00:34:53,920 Speaker 2: It's being Ron McDaniel, head of the R and c 645 00:34:54,360 --> 00:34:56,520 Speaker 2: RONA you know, I know, I'll want to look ahead 646 00:34:56,560 --> 00:34:59,120 Speaker 2: a little bit because we have a lot of folks 647 00:34:59,120 --> 00:35:03,399 Speaker 2: who listen and they understand the stakes for twenty twenty four. 648 00:35:03,520 --> 00:35:07,160 Speaker 2: They understand how important it is that we take this 649 00:35:07,520 --> 00:35:10,480 Speaker 2: country and put it back on the right track and 650 00:35:10,560 --> 00:35:14,239 Speaker 2: start moving the right direction with a Republican president and 651 00:35:14,320 --> 00:35:18,600 Speaker 2: hopefully Republican House and Senate. But they say, what's the 652 00:35:18,719 --> 00:35:21,680 Speaker 2: point if we haven't fixed election issues, How do we 653 00:35:21,840 --> 00:35:25,440 Speaker 2: know that election integrity? Election integrity is going to be 654 00:35:25,480 --> 00:35:27,560 Speaker 2: as strong as we need it to be this time around. 655 00:35:28,040 --> 00:35:29,920 Speaker 2: What do you say to that? What can you tell 656 00:35:30,040 --> 00:35:33,480 Speaker 2: people to help them? You know, allay those fears a 657 00:35:33,520 --> 00:35:38,799 Speaker 2: little bit, that they'll be Shenanigan's and that therefore it's 658 00:35:38,880 --> 00:35:40,920 Speaker 2: not really going to be the election that we deserve. 659 00:35:42,160 --> 00:35:45,839 Speaker 6: Yeah, here's what I would say. First of all, Republicans, 660 00:35:46,000 --> 00:35:48,719 Speaker 6: we are shiny object voters. We like to wait till 661 00:35:48,760 --> 00:35:50,560 Speaker 6: we get a candidate, and we have to learn to 662 00:35:50,640 --> 00:35:53,839 Speaker 6: invest in the infrastructure. The RNC is in sixty five 663 00:35:53,880 --> 00:35:58,400 Speaker 6: different lawsuits right now. Democrats just went into Montana, for example, 664 00:35:58,440 --> 00:36:00,719 Speaker 6: to try and strip away a lot that doesn't allow 665 00:36:00,760 --> 00:36:04,080 Speaker 6: people to vote, register twice to vote. The RNC just 666 00:36:04,160 --> 00:36:06,200 Speaker 6: intervened in that case. We just want a big case 667 00:36:06,239 --> 00:36:08,800 Speaker 6: on voter ID in New Hampshire. All of this is 668 00:36:08,880 --> 00:36:11,879 Speaker 6: being played out right now, and everybody likes to wait 669 00:36:11,960 --> 00:36:14,400 Speaker 6: until election year. There's no more election year, just like 670 00:36:14,440 --> 00:36:18,320 Speaker 6: there's no more election day. Elections are all always ongoing 671 00:36:18,440 --> 00:36:21,120 Speaker 6: in the courts. The other thing is we have to 672 00:36:21,280 --> 00:36:23,880 Speaker 6: educate our voters to bank your vote early. We have 673 00:36:24,040 --> 00:36:26,319 Speaker 6: to vote by mail, we have to vote by absentee 674 00:36:26,760 --> 00:36:28,440 Speaker 6: if that's the law in the books. We're going to 675 00:36:28,480 --> 00:36:31,760 Speaker 6: ballot harvest. The rnc's launched the Bank your Vote website, 676 00:36:31,880 --> 00:36:34,959 Speaker 6: were launching at state by state. We have to start 677 00:36:35,040 --> 00:36:37,719 Speaker 6: in engaging our voters. You can't win a football game 678 00:36:37,800 --> 00:36:40,320 Speaker 6: if you're scoring just in the fourth quarter. We have 679 00:36:40,400 --> 00:36:42,839 Speaker 6: to be using all four quarters of the game to win. 680 00:36:43,560 --> 00:36:47,000 Speaker 6: And part of our ability to give voters confidence is 681 00:36:47,040 --> 00:36:49,200 Speaker 6: that it is not only the sixty five lawsuits we're in, 682 00:36:49,600 --> 00:36:53,520 Speaker 6: but the robust poll watching program we're developing, recruiting poll 683 00:36:53,560 --> 00:36:56,640 Speaker 6: workers to be involved, putting councils into the states. It 684 00:36:56,760 --> 00:37:00,439 Speaker 6: takes everybody engaging. Go to gop dot com, be avolunteer. 685 00:37:01,239 --> 00:37:03,919 Speaker 6: We need people engaged in the process. It's so easy 686 00:37:04,000 --> 00:37:05,359 Speaker 6: to be on the outside saying, what are you going 687 00:37:05,400 --> 00:37:07,319 Speaker 6: to do to fix it? We can't fix it without help. 688 00:37:07,600 --> 00:37:09,279 Speaker 6: It's resources and volunteers. 689 00:37:10,200 --> 00:37:12,760 Speaker 2: Rona I believe there are reports. 690 00:37:12,760 --> 00:37:14,480 Speaker 3: I don't know if you officially announced it, that there 691 00:37:14,520 --> 00:37:19,000 Speaker 3: will be a fourth Republican debate in Tuscaloose, Alabama in December. 692 00:37:19,719 --> 00:37:22,759 Speaker 3: How many more debates do you anticipate as we move 693 00:37:22,840 --> 00:37:26,240 Speaker 3: through the primary season. What does the calendar look like? Obviously, 694 00:37:26,320 --> 00:37:29,799 Speaker 3: the caucus is on January. Early in January, I think 695 00:37:29,840 --> 00:37:32,359 Speaker 3: January fifteenth, if I've got the date right, and then 696 00:37:32,400 --> 00:37:33,680 Speaker 3: you move on to New Hampshire. 697 00:37:33,760 --> 00:37:36,080 Speaker 2: What does the rest of the debate calendar look like? 698 00:37:37,320 --> 00:37:39,840 Speaker 6: So we haven't set all of the debates. I anticipate 699 00:37:39,920 --> 00:37:42,440 Speaker 6: they'll be one in Iowa and New Hampshire and then 700 00:37:42,680 --> 00:37:45,320 Speaker 6: we'll take it from there. It's tough, you know, because 701 00:37:45,520 --> 00:37:48,160 Speaker 6: President Trump hasn't been on the debate stage. We obviously 702 00:37:48,239 --> 00:37:50,560 Speaker 6: would love to have all the candidates on the debate stage, 703 00:37:51,120 --> 00:37:54,040 Speaker 6: and there's been calls don't have debates. I feel very 704 00:37:54,120 --> 00:37:57,160 Speaker 6: strongly that if we stop debates, they wouldn't go away. 705 00:37:57,239 --> 00:38:01,200 Speaker 6: Candidates would negotiate directly with tvsations. But at the same time, 706 00:38:01,320 --> 00:38:04,520 Speaker 6: those candidates and our party deserve their opportunity to speak 707 00:38:04,520 --> 00:38:06,920 Speaker 6: to the American people. And then when the votes come in, 708 00:38:07,080 --> 00:38:09,680 Speaker 6: we all need to rally around whoever that nominee is. 709 00:38:09,800 --> 00:38:12,560 Speaker 6: But the process needs to play out so that every 710 00:38:12,680 --> 00:38:15,640 Speaker 6: voter who's supporting any candidate feels like their candidate was 711 00:38:15,640 --> 00:38:17,399 Speaker 6: given that opportunity to make their pity. 712 00:38:18,239 --> 00:38:20,680 Speaker 3: A lot of our audience has been upset that NBC 713 00:38:20,920 --> 00:38:25,719 Speaker 3: got this debate because certainly they have had not necessarily 714 00:38:25,880 --> 00:38:26,640 Speaker 3: fair cover. 715 00:38:26,680 --> 00:38:28,560 Speaker 2: Like the Clay and Buck Show didn't get this debate. 716 00:38:28,640 --> 00:38:29,759 Speaker 2: I'm just throwing that out there. 717 00:38:31,040 --> 00:38:32,799 Speaker 6: You guys didn have been on the debate. You guys 718 00:38:32,880 --> 00:38:36,279 Speaker 6: got me asked, well, what do we. 719 00:38:36,320 --> 00:38:39,240 Speaker 2: Have to do to bid? Is it complicated process? 720 00:38:40,239 --> 00:38:45,120 Speaker 6: So yeah, here's the thing. It's hard the debate stuff. 721 00:38:45,160 --> 00:38:47,839 Speaker 6: We did Fox twice. The R and C doesn't pay 722 00:38:47,880 --> 00:38:50,799 Speaker 6: for the debates. News flash, everybody in America. We don't 723 00:38:50,840 --> 00:38:53,600 Speaker 6: pay for it. The network's due. And so when the 724 00:38:53,680 --> 00:38:56,640 Speaker 6: networks paid for the debate, tell me another conservative network. 725 00:38:56,719 --> 00:38:58,960 Speaker 6: We have gone to some conservative networks who said, no, 726 00:38:59,080 --> 00:39:00,920 Speaker 6: I'm not going to name them on your show. So 727 00:39:01,040 --> 00:39:03,239 Speaker 6: we did try, but they couldn't afford it, and they 728 00:39:03,280 --> 00:39:07,520 Speaker 6: couldn't do it. It's about four million. 729 00:39:08,120 --> 00:39:11,440 Speaker 2: And then that's why we did. By the way, get it. 730 00:39:13,960 --> 00:39:16,800 Speaker 6: We do have Salem Radio as a partner, right and 731 00:39:16,960 --> 00:39:19,239 Speaker 6: they have allowed Hugh Hewett, who I think we all 732 00:39:19,280 --> 00:39:22,560 Speaker 6: agree is a conservative voice in the editorial decision making 733 00:39:22,680 --> 00:39:24,920 Speaker 6: of this debate. This is the first time this has 734 00:39:24,960 --> 00:39:27,840 Speaker 6: ever happened, So we're hearing it, we understand it, we 735 00:39:28,000 --> 00:39:30,840 Speaker 6: know there's frustration. But I also will add this, we 736 00:39:30,960 --> 00:39:33,279 Speaker 6: can't just sit in a conservative echo chamber and think 737 00:39:33,280 --> 00:39:35,360 Speaker 6: we're going to win. Forty two percent of this country 738 00:39:36,160 --> 00:39:39,000 Speaker 6: are independent. We've got to go outside. There are a 739 00:39:39,080 --> 00:39:41,759 Speaker 6: lot of passive news watchers who watch the Today Show 740 00:39:41,800 --> 00:39:44,520 Speaker 6: but don't tune in to Fox or CNN, and we 741 00:39:44,640 --> 00:39:46,560 Speaker 6: need to be able to reach those voters because I 742 00:39:46,680 --> 00:39:49,360 Speaker 6: have confidence in our message and what we stand for. 743 00:39:49,760 --> 00:39:52,000 Speaker 6: And if you get a bad moderator, you just respond 744 00:39:52,080 --> 00:39:54,399 Speaker 6: to them the way you want. And I'm not scared 745 00:39:54,440 --> 00:39:56,800 Speaker 6: of any moderator when we're going against them with what 746 00:39:56,920 --> 00:40:00,800 Speaker 6: we stand for, with fixing the border, taking down sentinel, 747 00:40:01,440 --> 00:40:04,200 Speaker 6: a fixing crime in this country, restoring our education for 748 00:40:04,280 --> 00:40:07,320 Speaker 6: our kids, and getting our national security on track, and 749 00:40:07,400 --> 00:40:12,040 Speaker 6: our energy independence and tackling inflation. We've got the right message, 750 00:40:12,080 --> 00:40:14,279 Speaker 6: So I'm not really afraid of that. I understand people 751 00:40:14,360 --> 00:40:16,960 Speaker 6: say that, but it's a much harder process and more 752 00:40:17,000 --> 00:40:19,200 Speaker 6: complex than people understand RNA. 753 00:40:20,400 --> 00:40:23,360 Speaker 2: What is your confidence level? You know, you're seeing this 754 00:40:23,480 --> 00:40:26,640 Speaker 2: from a very specific vantage point and are hearing what 755 00:40:26,719 --> 00:40:29,600 Speaker 2: people are saying in DC and in the corridors of power. 756 00:40:30,239 --> 00:40:33,640 Speaker 2: What is your confidence level that the eventual Republican nominee 757 00:40:34,239 --> 00:40:36,399 Speaker 2: is going to be squaring off against Joe Biden next year? 758 00:40:37,760 --> 00:40:39,800 Speaker 6: I think it's going to be Joe Biden. You know, 759 00:40:40,320 --> 00:40:44,479 Speaker 6: you are seeing this huge movement in the Democrat Party 760 00:40:44,560 --> 00:40:47,000 Speaker 6: to remove him, right, David Axelrod. We saw the New 761 00:40:47,080 --> 00:40:49,120 Speaker 6: York Times polls, which, by the way, I don't believe 762 00:40:49,160 --> 00:40:51,120 Speaker 6: anybody's up eleven points in Nevada. 763 00:40:51,600 --> 00:40:51,919 Speaker 2: I don't. 764 00:40:52,000 --> 00:40:54,560 Speaker 6: I think these polls are being pushed pushed out to 765 00:40:54,680 --> 00:40:57,000 Speaker 6: try and get Biden out of the race. And he's 766 00:40:57,320 --> 00:40:58,080 Speaker 6: not budging. 767 00:40:58,520 --> 00:40:58,719 Speaker 4: Why. 768 00:40:59,239 --> 00:41:01,880 Speaker 6: He knows there's more legal jeopardy coming his way. He 769 00:41:02,160 --> 00:41:04,399 Speaker 6: knows what's out there that James Comber's going to find 770 00:41:04,440 --> 00:41:08,040 Speaker 6: out that Oversight Committee. He loves being president, So despite 771 00:41:08,160 --> 00:41:10,640 Speaker 6: his party trying to push him out, he's not going anywhere. 772 00:41:10,960 --> 00:41:13,759 Speaker 6: And ballid access is an issue. They've already passed the 773 00:41:13,800 --> 00:41:16,360 Speaker 6: deadline for three major states to get on the ballot, 774 00:41:16,480 --> 00:41:19,560 Speaker 6: So if he doesn't get out now. The only real 775 00:41:19,600 --> 00:41:21,800 Speaker 6: window would be at the convention. I know Ted Cruz 776 00:41:21,800 --> 00:41:24,200 Speaker 6: thinks it's going to be Michelle Obama. I think it's 777 00:41:24,280 --> 00:41:25,200 Speaker 6: going to be Joe Biden. 778 00:41:26,320 --> 00:41:28,160 Speaker 2: And you are on team buck with this one, Rona, 779 00:41:28,160 --> 00:41:31,240 Speaker 2: and that's a smart place to be because the Buckster usually. 780 00:41:31,040 --> 00:41:34,239 Speaker 3: Gets I just I can't imagine that they're possibly going 781 00:41:34,320 --> 00:41:36,000 Speaker 3: to be reckless enough to run him. 782 00:41:36,120 --> 00:41:38,200 Speaker 2: I just like they're going to find a way not 783 00:41:38,320 --> 00:41:40,080 Speaker 2: to do it random first time, Rona, just thanks so 784 00:41:40,160 --> 00:41:41,719 Speaker 2: much for being with us.

We're gonna talk to you a 822 00:43:35,040 --> 00:43:39,080 Speaker 2: little bit now about the situation in in Israel, It's 823 00:43:39,160 --> 00:43:43,800 Speaker 2: war against Tamas, and also the surge in anti Semitism 824 00:43:43,880 --> 00:43:47,839 Speaker 2: here at home. All of this tied in together. First off, 825 00:43:48,640 --> 00:43:52,600 Speaker 2: over over there, what's going on in the conflict zone, 826 00:43:53,400 --> 00:43:57,800 Speaker 2: more air strikes, more Israeli forces moving into Gaza, and 827 00:43:58,040 --> 00:44:01,719 Speaker 2: Prime Minister Benjamin N. Yaho has indicate that Israel is 828 00:44:01,760 --> 00:44:06,560 Speaker 2: going to be playing an indefinite role in securing Gaza 829 00:44:06,719 --> 00:44:11,120 Speaker 2: to prevent future attacks like this. So I could foresee 830 00:44:11,480 --> 00:44:12,880 Speaker 2: in my mind, and I think I said this on 831 00:44:12,960 --> 00:44:17,160 Speaker 2: the show a few weeks ago, something like a demilitarized 832 00:44:17,200 --> 00:44:23,640 Speaker 2: zone or an area of broader separation between Gaza and 833 00:44:24,239 --> 00:44:28,400 Speaker 2: Israel that would be policed and effectively an expansion, a 834 00:44:28,480 --> 00:44:32,040 Speaker 2: pretty dramatic expansion of the security barrier that already exists 835 00:44:32,920 --> 00:44:36,600 Speaker 2: with probably some Israeli forward operating bases to monitor the 836 00:44:36,680 --> 00:44:39,360 Speaker 2: situation and prevent something like this from ever happening again, 837 00:44:39,480 --> 00:44:42,719 Speaker 2: that's my sense of it. And they're going to try 838 00:44:42,760 --> 00:44:45,840 Speaker 2: to broker some sort of agreement down the line for 839 00:44:46,680 --> 00:44:50,160 Speaker 2: what the governance of Gaza will be. No one really 840 00:44:50,160 --> 00:44:53,879 Speaker 2: seems to have a clear sense of that quite yet. 841 00:44:54,760 --> 00:44:57,120 Speaker 2: The conflict is still ongoing. And then bringing it home 842 00:44:57,239 --> 00:45:03,360 Speaker 2: here for a moment, a elderly Jewish man in California 843 00:45:04,040 --> 00:45:08,520 Speaker 2: has died after he was hit on the head during 844 00:45:08,840 --> 00:45:15,440 Speaker 2: a by a pro Palestinian protester during an altercation out 845 00:45:15,480 --> 00:45:18,719 Speaker 2: in Los Angeles. This is in one thousand Oaks in 846 00:45:19,280 --> 00:45:22,320 Speaker 2: LA and the Los Angeles area. And you know, this 847 00:45:22,520 --> 00:45:24,480 Speaker 2: is a moment where a lot of people I think 848 00:45:24,560 --> 00:45:29,520 Speaker 2: are first of all, I mean, you know, it's tragedy, senseless, awful, 849 00:45:30,360 --> 00:45:32,800 Speaker 2: you know, to strike somebody at a protest like this, 850 00:45:32,920 --> 00:45:35,600 Speaker 2: an elderly man, elder abuse. This man has now died. 851 00:45:36,120 --> 00:45:39,120 Speaker 2: You know, this guy is going to be facing a 852 00:45:39,239 --> 00:45:43,600 Speaker 2: lengthy prison sentence for this. And what you've seen, Clay 853 00:45:43,719 --> 00:45:49,040 Speaker 2: is the Jewish people, you know, Israel and the Jewish 854 00:45:49,040 --> 00:45:53,239 Speaker 2: people both there and around the world, have been the 855 00:45:54,360 --> 00:45:57,240 Speaker 2: they were the victims of a mass casualty terror attack, 856 00:45:58,280 --> 00:46:02,080 Speaker 2: and this has cohen sided or rather in the aftermath 857 00:46:02,200 --> 00:46:08,640 Speaker 2: of this, there's been this dramatic expansion of anger, hatred, 858 00:46:08,920 --> 00:46:13,040 Speaker 2: and anti Semitism that has broken out. And you have 859 00:46:13,239 --> 00:46:16,040 Speaker 2: all of these individuals who are not only taking a 860 00:46:16,120 --> 00:46:19,600 Speaker 2: pro Palestinian, but an openly pro Hamas point of view. 861 00:46:19,800 --> 00:46:23,239 Speaker 2: At this point in time, it is so shocking to 862 00:46:23,320 --> 00:46:27,239 Speaker 2: the conscience of reasonable people that even some who are 863 00:46:27,320 --> 00:46:29,880 Speaker 2: on the left are beginning to call this out and 864 00:46:30,040 --> 00:46:32,759 Speaker 2: speak honestly and truthfully about Israel. This was Bill Maher 865 00:46:33,000 --> 00:46:37,880 Speaker 2: on his show on Friday speaking some truth about Israel 866 00:46:38,000 --> 00:46:39,000 Speaker 2: and this whole situation. 867 00:46:39,120 --> 00:46:41,920 Speaker 7: Play a team for all the progressives and academics who 868 00:46:42,000 --> 00:46:45,680 Speaker 7: refer to Israel as an outpost of Western civilization like 869 00:46:45,760 --> 00:46:49,640 Speaker 7: it's a bad thing. Please note Western civilization is what 870 00:46:49,800 --> 00:46:53,279 Speaker 7: gave the world pretty much every damn liberal precept that 871 00:46:53,440 --> 00:47:00,319 Speaker 7: liberals are supposed to endure individual liberty, scientific inquiry, rule 872 00:47:00,400 --> 00:47:05,400 Speaker 7: of law, religious freedom, women's rights, human rights, democracy, trial 873 00:47:05,520 --> 00:47:08,640 Speaker 7: by jury, freedom of speech. And since one can find 874 00:47:08,760 --> 00:47:12,319 Speaker 7: all these concepts in today's Israel and virtually nowhere else 875 00:47:12,400 --> 00:47:14,279 Speaker 7: in the Middle East, if anything, the world would be 876 00:47:14,360 --> 00:47:17,520 Speaker 7: better placed if it had more Israel's. Of course, this 877 00:47:17,719 --> 00:47:20,359 Speaker 7: message falls on deaf ears to the current crop, who 878 00:47:20,440 --> 00:47:25,040 Speaker 7: reduce everything to being only victims or victimizers. So Israel 879 00:47:25,160 --> 00:47:28,400 Speaker 7: is lumped in as the toxic fruit of the victimizing West, 880 00:47:29,160 --> 00:47:33,680 Speaker 7: the irony being that all marginalized people live better today 881 00:47:33,960 --> 00:47:36,240 Speaker 7: because of Western ideals. 882 00:47:36,000 --> 00:47:40,120 Speaker 2: Not in spite of them. And yet we have so 883 00:47:40,239 --> 00:47:43,160 Speaker 2: many in this country clay on the left pretending that 884 00:47:43,560 --> 00:47:48,960 Speaker 2: Israel is the regressive and bad place and somehow Gaza 885 00:47:49,120 --> 00:47:53,240 Speaker 2: run by a terrorist organization that I'm pretty sure isn't 886 00:47:53,280 --> 00:47:55,600 Speaker 2: good on trans rights. I'll just put that out there. 887 00:47:56,520 --> 00:47:58,000 Speaker 2: No criticism for them whatsoever. 888 00:47:58,120 --> 00:47:59,759 Speaker 3: I give credit to Bill Maher here because we do 889 00:47:59,840 --> 00:48:05,440 Speaker 3: need to robust defense of Western civilization and the incredible 890 00:48:05,600 --> 00:48:11,120 Speaker 3: irony of people in countries made possible because of Western civilization, 891 00:48:11,960 --> 00:48:17,200 Speaker 3: using all of the successes of Western civilization free speech 892 00:48:17,280 --> 00:48:21,959 Speaker 3: paramount among them to advocate for regressive regimes that would 893 00:48:22,040 --> 00:48:24,719 Speaker 3: not allow them to live the way that they live 894 00:48:24,880 --> 00:48:28,520 Speaker 3: here is so manifestly difficult, I think for people to 895 00:48:28,760 --> 00:48:32,400 Speaker 3: understand that it has forced many people out there, not 896 00:48:32,680 --> 00:48:36,760 Speaker 3: just Jewish people, but many people who vote on the left. 897 00:48:36,880 --> 00:48:40,560 Speaker 2: I think to have a red pill moment. And let 898 00:48:40,640 --> 00:48:42,160 Speaker 2: me just mention this to Buck. 899 00:48:43,080 --> 00:48:45,400 Speaker 3: The power in the media is what they cover and 900 00:48:45,560 --> 00:48:52,400 Speaker 3: what stories they allow to become prominent narrative devices. The 901 00:48:52,520 --> 00:48:58,120 Speaker 3: Nashville Manifesto. We talked about this yesterday, not covered essentially 902 00:48:58,239 --> 00:49:00,359 Speaker 3: by The New York Times, by the Washington Post, by 903 00:49:00,440 --> 00:49:05,160 Speaker 3: CNN or MSNBC. The murder of that Jewish protester that 904 00:49:05,239 --> 00:49:08,200 Speaker 3: you started off this hour talking about, by and large, 905 00:49:08,239 --> 00:49:11,000 Speaker 3: has not been talked about or touched on as a 906 00:49:11,160 --> 00:49:16,080 Speaker 3: severe issue. Think about and compare the way the murder 907 00:49:16,360 --> 00:49:21,239 Speaker 3: of that one woman in Charlottesville was covered as a 908 00:49:21,440 --> 00:49:26,400 Speaker 3: symptom of the danger of far right MAGA extremism in 909 00:49:26,520 --> 00:49:31,200 Speaker 3: this country and of the rabid anti Semitism that supposedly 910 00:49:31,360 --> 00:49:35,920 Speaker 3: undergirded much of the Donald Trump support tree. We'll talk 911 00:49:35,960 --> 00:49:38,840 Speaker 3: about this to Reeven Force. We're gonna be with Donald 912 00:49:38,880 --> 00:49:43,600 Speaker 3: Trump tomorrow. Donald Trump has a lot of Jewish grandsons 913 00:49:43,640 --> 00:49:44,440 Speaker 3: and granddaughters. 914 00:49:44,480 --> 00:49:48,640 Speaker 2: Now, well, he's got a daughter who's Jewish, law who's Jewish, 915 00:49:48,719 --> 00:49:49,960 Speaker 2: and grandchildren who are Jewish. 916 00:49:50,000 --> 00:49:53,640 Speaker 3: So I would imagine, and we'll ask this of Trump himself, 917 00:49:54,280 --> 00:49:57,439 Speaker 3: I would imagine, if you're a grandfather and you see 918 00:49:57,560 --> 00:50:01,640 Speaker 3: people all over Israel being murdered because they're Jewish, and 919 00:50:01,760 --> 00:50:05,759 Speaker 3: you have Jewish grandchildren. That's a jarring moment for you, 920 00:50:06,040 --> 00:50:08,680 Speaker 3: because all of you out there that have grandchildren too, 921 00:50:08,920 --> 00:50:11,759 Speaker 3: and certainly all of you who are parents, know that 922 00:50:12,520 --> 00:50:16,319 Speaker 3: your love for your kids and grandkids is to many, 923 00:50:16,800 --> 00:50:19,799 Speaker 3: to a large degree, what defined you as an individual. 924 00:50:20,280 --> 00:50:24,800 Speaker 3: Think about how that Charlottesville incident was covered and a 925 00:50:24,960 --> 00:50:29,279 Speaker 3: direct murder of a Jewish protester based on what I 926 00:50:29,400 --> 00:50:31,440 Speaker 3: saw was that they have already done an autopsy and 927 00:50:31,520 --> 00:50:33,640 Speaker 3: determined that he died based on that attack, and that 928 00:50:33,760 --> 00:50:37,240 Speaker 3: there will be charges. It's a homicide. It's a homicide 929 00:50:37,280 --> 00:50:38,960 Speaker 3: of some sort. Will it be manslaughter, will it be 930 00:50:39,080 --> 00:50:41,719 Speaker 3: second degree murder? Who knows exactly what the charges will be. 931 00:50:42,400 --> 00:50:44,600 Speaker 3: But you combine that with the release yesterday of the 932 00:50:44,680 --> 00:50:48,880 Speaker 3: Nashville Manifesto, neither of those stories. If you don't and 933 00:50:49,000 --> 00:50:50,560 Speaker 3: this is what we were just talking about, Ron McDaniel, 934 00:50:50,600 --> 00:50:52,400 Speaker 3: and I don't know that I agree with giving NBC 935 00:50:53,000 --> 00:50:55,480 Speaker 3: the debate, but I do know that there are a 936 00:50:55,480 --> 00:50:59,200 Speaker 3: lot of people out there, reasonable decent people who rely 937 00:50:59,440 --> 00:51:02,359 Speaker 3: on the meeting to bring them the news that don't 938 00:51:02,400 --> 00:51:04,719 Speaker 3: know anything about the murder of that Jewish person that 939 00:51:04,840 --> 00:51:08,120 Speaker 3: don't know anything about the Nashville Manifesto because the media 940 00:51:08,239 --> 00:51:11,360 Speaker 3: that they consume doesn't tell them that story. 941 00:51:11,600 --> 00:51:13,320 Speaker 2: Yeah, of course, and this is a huge advantage that 942 00:51:13,360 --> 00:51:17,040 Speaker 2: democrats have in whether it's just broad messaging on issues 943 00:51:17,120 --> 00:51:20,760 Speaker 2: or even going into elections, which is the fire hose 944 00:51:20,800 --> 00:51:24,800 Speaker 2: of not just falsehood, but the ability which is a 945 00:51:24,840 --> 00:51:27,960 Speaker 2: part of it the propaganda. But as we've often discussed, 946 00:51:28,000 --> 00:51:29,800 Speaker 2: the decision to what to cover and what not to 947 00:51:29,880 --> 00:51:32,560 Speaker 2: covers in many ways the most potent and powerful editorial 948 00:51:32,640 --> 00:51:36,000 Speaker 2: decision that any news organization makes. Right if you don't 949 00:51:36,000 --> 00:51:38,440 Speaker 2: spend any time on something that says a lot, especially 950 00:51:38,480 --> 00:51:41,839 Speaker 2: if it's something that is clearly newsworthy. You probably saw 951 00:51:41,880 --> 00:51:43,960 Speaker 2: this to clay a lot of passive voice after this 952 00:51:44,040 --> 00:51:46,239 Speaker 2: elderly Jewish man died after being attacked, a lot of 953 00:51:46,560 --> 00:51:50,319 Speaker 2: you know, confrontation with protesters leads to a man losing 954 00:51:50,360 --> 00:51:53,440 Speaker 2: his Life's like, no, some pro hamas maniac hid an 955 00:51:53,480 --> 00:51:55,320 Speaker 2: elderly man who was waving a Jewish flag over the 956 00:51:55,360 --> 00:51:57,719 Speaker 2: head and killed him. Yes, that is actually those are 957 00:51:57,760 --> 00:51:59,400 Speaker 2: the facts of the story as we know them right now. 958 00:51:59,440 --> 00:52:01,960 Speaker 2: That is what is it. But That's not the way 959 00:52:02,040 --> 00:52:04,200 Speaker 2: that they were presenting it. I would say, you know, 960 00:52:04,440 --> 00:52:08,719 Speaker 2: even you know some the Bide administration knows they've got 961 00:52:08,760 --> 00:52:12,719 Speaker 2: a problem here. National Security Council spokesman John Kirby was 962 00:52:12,760 --> 00:52:15,439 Speaker 2: willing to say that it was irresponsible for Rashida to leave, 963 00:52:15,600 --> 00:52:19,759 Speaker 2: to say that the Biden administration, not just Israel, the 964 00:52:19,880 --> 00:52:25,480 Speaker 2: Biden administration is supporting this is cut twenty supporting genocide. 965 00:52:25,520 --> 00:52:30,839 Speaker 5: Play it she said, was that the administration was supporting genocide. 966 00:52:31,120 --> 00:52:32,480 Speaker 2: Well, of course we're not doing that. 967 00:52:32,680 --> 00:52:37,480 Speaker 8: And and and what is happening in Gaza. Again, as 968 00:52:37,640 --> 00:52:40,160 Speaker 8: terrible as all these civilian casualties are, and we know 969 00:52:40,280 --> 00:52:42,520 Speaker 8: there's many, many thousands of them, we don't want there 970 00:52:42,560 --> 00:52:44,520 Speaker 8: to be any I don't wanted to minimize that at all. 971 00:52:45,000 --> 00:52:47,600 Speaker 8: But you can't look at what is happening in Gaza 972 00:52:47,920 --> 00:52:50,279 Speaker 8: and say that it fits the definition of genocide. And 973 00:52:50,440 --> 00:52:54,400 Speaker 8: clearly we don't agree with that, with that description. We 974 00:52:54,520 --> 00:52:57,920 Speaker 8: think that is an irresponsible way of describing this. We 975 00:52:58,000 --> 00:52:59,680 Speaker 8: don't associate ourselves. 976 00:52:59,280 --> 00:53:01,960 Speaker 2: With that, and that is not an our view. That 977 00:53:02,120 --> 00:53:04,839 Speaker 2: is not what is happening here. I mean, first of all, 978 00:53:05,040 --> 00:53:06,400 Speaker 2: it is not what I don't think I say in 979 00:53:06,480 --> 00:53:08,040 Speaker 2: our view, it is not what is happening. But Clay, 980 00:53:08,080 --> 00:53:15,520 Speaker 2: there's also something particularly morally repugnant about the let's be honest, 981 00:53:15,680 --> 00:53:18,680 Speaker 2: the enemies of the State of Israel and the enemies 982 00:53:18,719 --> 00:53:23,680 Speaker 2: of a Jewish homeland. Referring to Israeli genocide in Gaza. 983 00:53:23,760 --> 00:53:27,880 Speaker 2: I mean genocide is what the Jewish people suffered at 984 00:53:27,920 --> 00:53:30,879 Speaker 2: the hands of the Nazi regime in World War Two 985 00:53:31,280 --> 00:53:35,160 Speaker 2: at Auschwitz and Buchenwalden, Dachau and the death camps. That's 986 00:53:35,200 --> 00:53:40,600 Speaker 2: a genocide. Taking your military and having airstrikes on a 987 00:53:40,760 --> 00:53:44,440 Speaker 2: terrorist entity that has just killed fourteen hundred of your 988 00:53:44,560 --> 00:53:49,920 Speaker 2: people after many, many years of peace negotiations and offers 989 00:53:50,000 --> 00:53:52,800 Speaker 2: and everything else, and using your military in defense of 990 00:53:52,840 --> 00:53:55,160 Speaker 2: yourself and your people, that is not a genocide. It 991 00:53:55,239 --> 00:53:58,960 Speaker 2: is a just war. It is on the far extreme 992 00:53:59,080 --> 00:54:02,440 Speaker 2: other side of forces. Genocide would be the most abhorrent 993 00:54:02,719 --> 00:54:07,320 Speaker 2: and morally repugnant use of force imaginable. Israel is fighting 994 00:54:07,680 --> 00:54:11,719 Speaker 2: a just war in Gaza, but this administration won't really 995 00:54:11,840 --> 00:54:14,000 Speaker 2: say that. They have to leave open as well. We 996 00:54:14,040 --> 00:54:16,960 Speaker 2: don't want them to be too rough, you know, Geneva conventions. 997 00:54:17,320 --> 00:54:20,520 Speaker 3: That's why they're trying to triangulate it because this is 998 00:54:20,640 --> 00:54:23,920 Speaker 3: politically unstable because it blows up the Democrat parties left 999 00:54:23,960 --> 00:54:26,759 Speaker 3: wing agenda. And I don't know what Neil Cavudo on 1000 00:54:26,880 --> 00:54:29,440 Speaker 3: Fox News followed up with John Kirby about, but the 1001 00:54:29,520 --> 00:54:33,960 Speaker 3: question that I think has to be asked is do 1002 00:54:34,080 --> 00:54:37,720 Speaker 3: you think Rashida's lieb should still be representing her district 1003 00:54:38,320 --> 00:54:41,319 Speaker 3: because there are gonna be a lot of primary challenges now, 1004 00:54:41,600 --> 00:54:43,800 Speaker 3: and I'm curious whether Joe Biden is going to be 1005 00:54:43,880 --> 00:54:46,520 Speaker 3: forced to weigh in on that because a couple of things. One, 1006 00:54:46,640 --> 00:54:51,680 Speaker 3: Fox News viewership is skyrocketing among jew Jewish Americans. There's 1007 00:54:52,200 --> 00:54:54,200 Speaker 3: actually an article in it about the New York Times 1008 00:54:54,280 --> 00:54:56,120 Speaker 3: about the number of people that are turning it on. 1009 00:54:56,200 --> 00:54:59,000 Speaker 3: And I think a lot of those Jewish otherwise Democrat 1010 00:54:59,080 --> 00:55:02,120 Speaker 3: voters are watching five News and they're going to say, 1011 00:55:02,120 --> 00:55:04,440 Speaker 3: you know what, all of the caricatures that are out 1012 00:55:04,440 --> 00:55:06,839 Speaker 3: there about Fox News, My goodness, they're doing the best 1013 00:55:06,920 --> 00:55:10,080 Speaker 3: job of covering anything coming out of Israel right now. 1014 00:55:10,400 --> 00:55:13,560 Speaker 3: Second part of this, again, they're trying to triangulate it. 1015 00:55:14,040 --> 00:55:18,040 Speaker 3: They're calling for a pause now in the Biden administration 1016 00:55:18,640 --> 00:55:22,520 Speaker 3: because it's a midway point between a ceasefire, which is 1017 00:55:22,640 --> 00:55:28,359 Speaker 3: what left wing pro Palestinian advocates are demanding, and it's 1018 00:55:28,560 --> 00:55:34,520 Speaker 3: not the full throated defense that Israeli advocates are defending. 1019 00:55:34,960 --> 00:55:36,960 Speaker 3: So they're trying to say that they want to pause, 1020 00:55:37,080 --> 00:55:41,279 Speaker 3: which is, you know, a resumption and theory of activities 1021 00:55:41,320 --> 00:55:44,680 Speaker 3: could occur, but it's somewhere between both. Here's the problem. 1022 00:55:45,480 --> 00:55:50,400 Speaker 3: You can't third weigh yourself in this situation. And I 1023 00:55:50,480 --> 00:55:53,200 Speaker 3: think the strident moral authority here that has played very 1024 00:55:53,280 --> 00:55:56,800 Speaker 3: much in the Republican camp is Israel is not the aggressor. 1025 00:55:57,080 --> 00:56:00,680 Speaker 3: They were attacked. To your position, this is far from genocide. 1026 00:56:00,680 --> 00:56:03,560 Speaker 3: They're innocent victims, and they're now trying to ensure that 1027 00:56:03,640 --> 00:56:05,960 Speaker 3: they will never have this happen to them again by 1028 00:56:06,000 --> 00:56:07,560 Speaker 3: eradicating the power. 1029 00:56:07,360 --> 00:56:09,200 Speaker 2: Of Hamas to ever do this again. 1030 00:56:09,760 --> 00:56:13,120 Speaker 3: And so I don't see any way that you can 1031 00:56:13,719 --> 00:56:17,680 Speaker 3: middle ground this if you're Joe Biden, and I think 1032 00:56:17,800 --> 00:56:21,520 Speaker 3: increasingly he's recognizing it now. The challenge of the identity 1033 00:56:21,600 --> 00:56:25,399 Speaker 3: politics of the Democrat Party is if you can't third 1034 00:56:25,440 --> 00:56:28,080 Speaker 3: away it, you probably can't win the election. 1035 00:56:28,239 --> 00:56:31,800 Speaker 2: Well, this is what I was gonna say. Is following 1036 00:56:31,880 --> 00:56:36,759 Speaker 2: on that notice, how and certainly Jewish Americans have noticed this, 1037 00:56:36,880 --> 00:56:40,719 Speaker 2: I think in large numbers on the right, there's no 1038 00:56:40,840 --> 00:56:44,279 Speaker 2: room for Hamas love correct, this doesn't this isn't a thing. 1039 00:56:45,080 --> 00:56:47,640 Speaker 2: Who's the Republican member of Congress right now who's saying, 1040 00:56:47,719 --> 00:56:52,280 Speaker 2: you know, Hamas legitimate resistance organization. Hamas, you know, really 1041 00:56:52,480 --> 00:56:54,279 Speaker 2: isn't as bad as it's being portrayed to beer. It 1042 00:56:54,320 --> 00:56:56,680 Speaker 2: doesn't exist, correct, doesn't exist. You know, find me a 1043 00:56:56,719 --> 00:57:00,400 Speaker 2: Republican government, Republican Member of Congress REPO who is taking 1044 00:57:00,520 --> 00:57:06,600 Speaker 2: these positions because there is no home for soft pedaling 1045 00:57:07,080 --> 00:57:12,120 Speaker 2: or in any way trying to mitigate the horrificness of 1046 00:57:12,160 --> 00:57:15,279 Speaker 2: what Hamas just did on the right. On the left, 1047 00:57:15,320 --> 00:57:18,240 Speaker 2: there's a lot of it. Yes, it's commonplace, and this 1048 00:57:18,400 --> 00:57:20,200 Speaker 2: distinction is playing out in a way. I mean, I 1049 00:57:20,240 --> 00:57:23,200 Speaker 2: think Bill Maher, who's an absolutely a Democrat, even though 1050 00:57:23,200 --> 00:57:25,320 Speaker 2: he says some things sometimes that are sensible, even on 1051 00:57:25,360 --> 00:57:27,680 Speaker 2: the right, I think he recognizes this is the problem 1052 00:57:27,760 --> 00:57:30,200 Speaker 2: for his party. This is a problem going into an 1053 00:57:30,200 --> 00:57:32,800 Speaker 2: election year or on election day now, but much bigger 1054 00:57:32,840 --> 00:57:35,880 Speaker 2: election next year.
