1 00:00:00,320 --> 00:00:04,800 Speaker 1: Welcome in everybody thirst day edition of The Clay Travis 2 00:00:04,840 --> 00:00:10,760 Speaker 1: and Buck Sexton Show. Dicks off right now, and we're 3 00:00:10,800 --> 00:00:14,160 Speaker 1: still settling in on those election results a little bit. 4 00:00:14,200 --> 00:00:18,600 Speaker 1: We're still getting used to the reality for our fellow 5 00:00:18,880 --> 00:00:23,040 Speaker 1: Americans and New Yorkers that they got a tough road 6 00:00:23,040 --> 00:00:26,160 Speaker 1: ahead with their soon to be mayor. But it's gonna 7 00:00:26,160 --> 00:00:30,080 Speaker 1: be all right. As we said, Also, Virginia, New Jersey close, 8 00:00:30,120 --> 00:00:33,479 Speaker 1: but no cigar in New Jersey. Virginia a blowout, but 9 00:00:33,520 --> 00:00:36,159 Speaker 1: it's okay, It's okay. We move on where we move forward. 10 00:00:36,200 --> 00:00:39,280 Speaker 1: Remember Trump is still the president. We are still a 11 00:00:39,320 --> 00:00:41,920 Speaker 1: majority in the House, in the Senate, and it has 12 00:00:42,040 --> 00:00:45,239 Speaker 1: been We're in November. We're getting close to when I 13 00:00:45,240 --> 00:00:47,440 Speaker 1: can say this, and I'm not gonna be all sappy 14 00:00:47,479 --> 00:00:49,479 Speaker 1: about it, Clay, I'm not going to get all saccharin 15 00:00:49,600 --> 00:00:52,400 Speaker 1: here on the air, but I do think this is 16 00:00:52,440 --> 00:00:56,080 Speaker 1: one of the best years overall overall in terms of 17 00:00:56,160 --> 00:01:01,840 Speaker 1: policy achievement, direction of a president's see that I can remember. 18 00:01:02,680 --> 00:01:05,400 Speaker 1: The economy is booming. There are problems and we should 19 00:01:05,400 --> 00:01:09,280 Speaker 1: address those. There are affordability issues, There are inflation, really 20 00:01:09,400 --> 00:01:12,399 Speaker 1: lingering inflation issues. Right, It's not that inflation keeps going up. 21 00:01:12,440 --> 00:01:17,679 Speaker 1: It's that prices rocketed up, thank you, Biden. And as 22 00:01:17,720 --> 00:01:20,120 Speaker 1: Clay has said many times, it's true, once they go up, 23 00:01:20,840 --> 00:01:22,640 Speaker 1: very hard for them to come down for a whole 24 00:01:22,640 --> 00:01:25,160 Speaker 1: bunch of reasons. So they tend to continue to go 25 00:01:25,360 --> 00:01:29,320 Speaker 1: up over time. So we've got that to work through 26 00:01:30,280 --> 00:01:34,640 Speaker 1: and we'll discuss it. We've also, Clay still got a 27 00:01:34,720 --> 00:01:41,040 Speaker 1: shutdown happening, which I have to say, the shutdown better 28 00:01:41,280 --> 00:01:45,039 Speaker 1: end soon. They better shut that down because people are 29 00:01:45,080 --> 00:01:47,880 Speaker 1: going to really get frustrated with some of what's going 30 00:01:47,920 --> 00:01:53,280 Speaker 1: on here. The lack of air traffic controller is able 31 00:01:53,320 --> 00:01:55,360 Speaker 1: to come on the job. They're not getting paid, And 32 00:01:55,400 --> 00:01:58,400 Speaker 1: I can understand this. You're doing a critical job as 33 00:01:58,400 --> 00:02:00,600 Speaker 1: an air traffic controller. It is a critic job, by 34 00:02:00,600 --> 00:02:02,840 Speaker 1: the way. It's one of those things where you want 35 00:02:02,880 --> 00:02:06,600 Speaker 1: really good professional air traffic controllers, no question about it. 36 00:02:08,440 --> 00:02:12,880 Speaker 1: You know, play the biggest airline disaster in history in 37 00:02:12,960 --> 00:02:16,239 Speaker 1: terms of casualties, not including nine eleven, was a terrorist attack. 38 00:02:16,560 --> 00:02:19,720 Speaker 1: The biggest airline disaster in history was really an air 39 00:02:19,760 --> 00:02:23,360 Speaker 1: traffic control issue, and it was on I want to 40 00:02:23,400 --> 00:02:27,080 Speaker 1: say Tenerife Island, you know, one of those like islands 41 00:02:27,080 --> 00:02:31,680 Speaker 1: in the Atlantic and it was two jets that one 42 00:02:31,840 --> 00:02:34,959 Speaker 1: was taking off and one was taxiing. Oh no, and 43 00:02:35,440 --> 00:02:38,400 Speaker 1: they hit each other. My point being that was a 44 00:02:38,400 --> 00:02:41,240 Speaker 1: long time ago. But if you checked that one out, Producer, Greg, 45 00:02:41,280 --> 00:02:43,760 Speaker 1: do a quick one, a quick number on that one, 46 00:02:43,800 --> 00:02:45,799 Speaker 1: because it was horrible. It was hundreds and hundreds of 47 00:02:45,800 --> 00:02:48,720 Speaker 1: people lost their lives in it. Air traffic control is 48 00:02:48,760 --> 00:02:51,120 Speaker 1: really important, is my point. And we want air traffic 49 00:02:51,160 --> 00:02:53,320 Speaker 1: controllers to be paid, yes, sir, And. 50 00:02:53,240 --> 00:02:56,000 Speaker 2: We've got to cut on that because they have announced 51 00:02:56,040 --> 00:02:59,880 Speaker 2: that we are going to have a ten percent reduction 52 00:03:00,160 --> 00:03:05,080 Speaker 2: in scheduled flight capacity at forty different high traffic markets. 53 00:03:05,160 --> 00:03:09,160 Speaker 2: This is yesterday, Sean Duffy letting us know that that 54 00:03:09,280 --> 00:03:12,120 Speaker 2: is now out. And so I would encourage all of 55 00:03:12,160 --> 00:03:16,080 Speaker 2: you out there to make sure that you are closely 56 00:03:16,120 --> 00:03:19,359 Speaker 2: following if you're traveling. I'm traveling tomorrow. I'm already presuming 57 00:03:19,680 --> 00:03:21,320 Speaker 2: that getting out of New York City is going to 58 00:03:21,320 --> 00:03:22,000 Speaker 2: be a disaster. 59 00:03:22,120 --> 00:03:22,360 Speaker 1: Buck. 60 00:03:22,880 --> 00:03:27,120 Speaker 2: But Sean Duffy, Transportation Secretary here, he is talking about it. 61 00:03:27,200 --> 00:03:30,160 Speaker 3: I anticipate there will be additional disruptions, there'll be frustration. 62 00:03:30,400 --> 00:03:32,680 Speaker 3: We are working with the airlines, they're going to work 63 00:03:32,680 --> 00:03:36,080 Speaker 3: with passengers. But in the end, our sole role is 64 00:03:36,120 --> 00:03:38,840 Speaker 3: to make sure that we keep this airspace as safe 65 00:03:38,840 --> 00:03:41,760 Speaker 3: as possible. The Administrator is going to talk about all 66 00:03:41,840 --> 00:03:45,839 Speaker 3: of the tools we're going to deploy. One of them, though, 67 00:03:45,880 --> 00:03:47,160 Speaker 3: is going to be that there is going to be 68 00:03:47,200 --> 00:03:52,080 Speaker 3: a ten percent reduction in capacity at forty of our locations. 69 00:03:52,160 --> 00:03:53,880 Speaker 3: The administrator is going to tell you that it's been 70 00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:57,160 Speaker 3: This is database. This is not based on what airline 71 00:03:57,240 --> 00:04:01,800 Speaker 3: travels has more flights out of location. This is about 72 00:04:02,040 --> 00:04:05,200 Speaker 3: where's the pressure and how do we alleviate the pressure. 73 00:04:06,920 --> 00:04:08,280 Speaker 1: I mean, this is going to be a mess, Buck, 74 00:04:08,720 --> 00:04:10,560 Speaker 1: It is going to be a mess. By the way, 75 00:04:10,600 --> 00:04:13,720 Speaker 1: it just has a fact update here. Yeah, I was right. 76 00:04:13,760 --> 00:04:17,279 Speaker 1: It was Tenaifae and Clay. This was back in nineteen 77 00:04:17,400 --> 00:04:24,719 Speaker 1: seventy seven, five hundred and eighty three fatalities, worst airline disaster, 78 00:04:25,080 --> 00:04:27,240 Speaker 1: not including nine to eleven, which was man made terrorism, 79 00:04:27,240 --> 00:04:32,400 Speaker 1: but worst airline disaster in history, and it was taxiing 80 00:04:32,440 --> 00:04:35,800 Speaker 1: on the runway. My point being air traffic control. We 81 00:04:35,880 --> 00:04:40,880 Speaker 1: all want them to be staffed, paid and really good. 82 00:04:41,040 --> 00:04:43,480 Speaker 1: And one problem we've already seen, and this is from 83 00:04:44,480 --> 00:04:48,480 Speaker 1: a lot of what Secretary Duffy has been saying about 84 00:04:48,480 --> 00:04:51,839 Speaker 1: this is that the air traffic control system is really outdated. 85 00:04:51,880 --> 00:04:54,120 Speaker 1: It needs to be fixed in general. So now we're 86 00:04:54,120 --> 00:04:57,559 Speaker 1: taking an outdated system, putting additional strain on it because 87 00:04:57,560 --> 00:05:01,000 Speaker 1: of personnel, because Chuck Schumer doesn't want the left wing 88 00:05:01,080 --> 00:05:03,400 Speaker 1: base of his party to be able to mount the 89 00:05:03,480 --> 00:05:05,800 Speaker 1: challenge against him. I mean, when you start to add 90 00:05:05,880 --> 00:05:09,480 Speaker 1: up what's going on here, it is gross. Oh by 91 00:05:09,520 --> 00:05:11,920 Speaker 1: the way, Nancy Pelosi's not running speaking about a great 92 00:05:12,000 --> 00:05:15,000 Speaker 1: year in American politics. That's official too. She's out at 93 00:05:15,040 --> 00:05:17,640 Speaker 1: eighty five years young. So there you go. 94 00:05:18,080 --> 00:05:21,159 Speaker 2: That's at least one positive. Trump has reacted to that 95 00:05:21,360 --> 00:05:27,719 Speaker 2: already in typical Trumpian fashion. And look, I think this 96 00:05:28,680 --> 00:05:33,200 Speaker 2: air traffic issue is going to start to get people 97 00:05:33,279 --> 00:05:37,320 Speaker 2: angry on a level that maybe they haven't been before, 98 00:05:38,000 --> 00:05:39,919 Speaker 2: if that makes sense. I mean, we're going to be 99 00:05:39,960 --> 00:05:45,080 Speaker 2: talking about disimpacting everybody. We shared and talked about the 100 00:05:45,200 --> 00:05:49,800 Speaker 2: video of Houston, which I'm told is already always has 101 00:05:50,480 --> 00:05:52,960 Speaker 2: a major issue there. But three and a half hours, 102 00:05:53,000 --> 00:05:56,000 Speaker 2: four hours for TSA. I bet a lot of you 103 00:05:56,600 --> 00:05:58,440 Speaker 2: if you see a line that long, just want to 104 00:05:58,480 --> 00:06:01,919 Speaker 2: turn around and go back home. And I think the 105 00:06:02,080 --> 00:06:05,279 Speaker 2: anger over this is going to grow now. There have 106 00:06:05,320 --> 00:06:10,240 Speaker 2: been some reports Buck that Democrats were emboldened by their 107 00:06:10,279 --> 00:06:13,840 Speaker 2: wins in Virginia and in New Jersey and in New 108 00:06:13,920 --> 00:06:18,520 Speaker 2: York City and have decided to be more aggressive in 109 00:06:18,640 --> 00:06:23,560 Speaker 2: demanding some sort of changes. Trump obviously has said, let's 110 00:06:23,600 --> 00:06:26,479 Speaker 2: go ahead and in the filibuster because the reason why 111 00:06:26,520 --> 00:06:29,039 Speaker 2: we have this shutdown right now is we have to 112 00:06:29,080 --> 00:06:32,159 Speaker 2: get to sixty votes. And right now I don't believe 113 00:06:32,160 --> 00:06:36,400 Speaker 2: we've gotten past fifty six I think or fifty seven. 114 00:06:36,720 --> 00:06:39,000 Speaker 2: There are at least three or four more Democrats who 115 00:06:39,040 --> 00:06:42,640 Speaker 2: need to vote to open back up the government. We'll 116 00:06:42,640 --> 00:06:47,720 Speaker 2: see whether the final results coming down will get things fixed. 117 00:06:47,800 --> 00:06:50,560 Speaker 2: My bet would be that we would have some sort 118 00:06:50,600 --> 00:06:53,920 Speaker 2: of resolution by early next week. I don't know where 119 00:06:53,960 --> 00:06:57,039 Speaker 2: you are on this, but that could grow faster. And 120 00:06:57,120 --> 00:06:59,640 Speaker 2: here Trump on cut thirty buck to build on that 121 00:07:00,279 --> 00:07:04,400 Speaker 2: is super angry about the shutdowns that appears, and he 122 00:07:04,520 --> 00:07:07,800 Speaker 2: wants drastic action. There were reports that he talked to 123 00:07:07,839 --> 00:07:12,200 Speaker 2: the Senate Republicans yesterday and said it's time to end 124 00:07:12,360 --> 00:07:16,240 Speaker 2: the filibuster. This has been an ongoing debate for basically 125 00:07:16,280 --> 00:07:19,160 Speaker 2: as long as I can remember politics existing. Here is 126 00:07:19,240 --> 00:07:22,600 Speaker 2: cut thirty Trump saying once and for all that's in 127 00:07:22,680 --> 00:07:23,280 Speaker 2: the filibuster. 128 00:07:23,520 --> 00:07:25,760 Speaker 4: I think that if we got rid of the filibuster, 129 00:07:25,960 --> 00:07:28,640 Speaker 4: we would approve so many good things, common sense things, 130 00:07:28,680 --> 00:07:31,040 Speaker 4: wonderful things, that it would be hard to beat us. 131 00:07:31,360 --> 00:07:33,160 Speaker 4: If we don't, it's always going to be a slog 132 00:07:33,320 --> 00:07:36,600 Speaker 4: So I do say this. I would say absolutely without question, 133 00:07:36,720 --> 00:07:38,400 Speaker 4: I have no doubt in my mind get rid of it, 134 00:07:38,480 --> 00:07:40,720 Speaker 4: and the Republicans should do it. But they have a 135 00:07:40,800 --> 00:07:43,400 Speaker 4: number of Republicans that don't agree. And you know what, 136 00:07:43,480 --> 00:07:46,080 Speaker 4: it's a question, do I want to lose my relationship 137 00:07:46,120 --> 00:07:48,120 Speaker 4: with those Republicans that have been very good to me 138 00:07:48,200 --> 00:07:50,600 Speaker 4: for a long period of time, that voted against the 139 00:07:50,640 --> 00:07:53,640 Speaker 4: crooked Democrats on impeachment and everything else. Do I want 140 00:07:53,640 --> 00:07:55,560 Speaker 4: to lose them over it? I think it's a very 141 00:07:55,560 --> 00:07:57,880 Speaker 4: important point. Do you ever have people that are wrong 142 00:07:58,120 --> 00:08:00,520 Speaker 4: but you can't convince them? So do you destroy your 143 00:08:00,560 --> 00:08:03,480 Speaker 4: whole relationship with them? And I'd be close to losing it, 144 00:08:03,520 --> 00:08:04,400 Speaker 4: but probably not. 145 00:08:04,960 --> 00:08:08,440 Speaker 2: That's really funny working through all that. Buck my general 146 00:08:08,480 --> 00:08:11,800 Speaker 2: position on the filibuster, we talked about it earlier. I 147 00:08:11,840 --> 00:08:14,800 Speaker 2: don't want Democrats to suddenly be able to add Puerto 148 00:08:14,880 --> 00:08:19,400 Speaker 2: Rico and Washington, DC if they have fifty votes plus 149 00:08:19,520 --> 00:08:22,320 Speaker 2: the UH plus the President. I don't want them to 150 00:08:22,360 --> 00:08:25,920 Speaker 2: be able to expand the Supreme Court. I get the frustration. 151 00:08:27,160 --> 00:08:30,120 Speaker 2: I personally am not in favor of ending the filibuster. 152 00:08:30,280 --> 00:08:32,200 Speaker 2: I don't know what your take is, because eventually it 153 00:08:32,280 --> 00:08:33,520 Speaker 2: ends up blowing up on you. 154 00:08:33,960 --> 00:08:36,199 Speaker 1: This is the this is the I wish I could 155 00:08:36,240 --> 00:08:38,160 Speaker 1: take the counterpoint to you, because it's more fun to 156 00:08:38,240 --> 00:08:43,320 Speaker 1: argue with you. But on this one, we would our 157 00:08:43,400 --> 00:08:48,520 Speaker 1: team Trump would use it to try to push policies 158 00:08:48,920 --> 00:08:52,520 Speaker 1: that then people can judge the effectiveness of or not. 159 00:08:53,360 --> 00:08:56,240 Speaker 1: And his thing is, I would do such good things 160 00:08:56,480 --> 00:08:58,719 Speaker 1: that the American people would be so in favor of 161 00:08:58,920 --> 00:09:03,560 Speaker 1: dot dot dot. Democrats once the filibuster is gone, will 162 00:09:03,559 --> 00:09:08,240 Speaker 1: do exactly what you're talking about, which is permanently stack 163 00:09:08,360 --> 00:09:12,640 Speaker 1: the deck so you will have no more Trump like administrations, 164 00:09:12,640 --> 00:09:16,920 Speaker 1: you will have no more Republican administrations. And that then 165 00:09:17,040 --> 00:09:20,000 Speaker 1: becomes the challenge. Now people might say they're going to 166 00:09:20,040 --> 00:09:24,720 Speaker 1: do that anyway when they have a majority. That's fair, 167 00:09:24,800 --> 00:09:27,840 Speaker 1: But you know, it's a little bit like nuclear deterrence 168 00:09:27,920 --> 00:09:29,880 Speaker 1: right now, right, I mean, you know, do you really 169 00:09:29,920 --> 00:09:31,440 Speaker 1: want to fire first? I don't know. 170 00:09:31,600 --> 00:09:34,160 Speaker 2: They're going to be more diabolical. I think they can 171 00:09:34,280 --> 00:09:37,760 Speaker 2: do things that are more detrimental. And I just named three. 172 00:09:38,600 --> 00:09:41,960 Speaker 2: Imagine what the impact would be if Puerto Rico becomes 173 00:09:41,960 --> 00:09:44,840 Speaker 2: a state and they get two Democrats, Washington, d c. 174 00:09:45,000 --> 00:09:48,360 Speaker 2: Becomes a state and they get two Democrats and they decide, hey, 175 00:09:48,440 --> 00:09:51,880 Speaker 2: instead of having nine Supreme Court justices, we should have thirteen. 176 00:09:52,360 --> 00:09:57,359 Speaker 2: And the new Democrat appointed, the new Democrat president appoints 177 00:09:57,480 --> 00:10:02,160 Speaker 2: suddenly for Supreme Court justices, and everything changes. The reason 178 00:10:02,160 --> 00:10:05,000 Speaker 2: why the filibuster makes sense, in my opinion, is it 179 00:10:05,120 --> 00:10:10,839 Speaker 2: stops crazy exaggerated movement. Sometimes the crazy exaggerated movement can 180 00:10:10,880 --> 00:10:13,200 Speaker 2: be in your favor, sometimes it's going to be on 181 00:10:13,240 --> 00:10:16,120 Speaker 2: the other side. And honestly, this already kind of blew 182 00:10:16,200 --> 00:10:19,120 Speaker 2: up on Democrats with the Supreme Court. As One thing 183 00:10:19,200 --> 00:10:23,480 Speaker 2: Mitch McConnell got right was they essentially eliminated the filibuster 184 00:10:23,679 --> 00:10:28,040 Speaker 2: for Supreme Court justices, and they when they did it, 185 00:10:28,120 --> 00:10:31,040 Speaker 2: to allow the justices to get through with just a 186 00:10:31,040 --> 00:10:35,800 Speaker 2: majority vote. That was what McConnell said. And the Democrats 187 00:10:36,160 --> 00:10:38,880 Speaker 2: certainly have lost out to the Republicans when it comes 188 00:10:38,920 --> 00:10:42,680 Speaker 2: to justices as passing with a bare majority since they 189 00:10:42,880 --> 00:10:43,600 Speaker 2: passed that law. 190 00:10:43,760 --> 00:10:45,200 Speaker 1: So change that law. 191 00:10:45,360 --> 00:10:48,839 Speaker 2: I think you have to be very careful adjusting long 192 00:10:49,000 --> 00:10:51,920 Speaker 2: precedent for expedient current events. 193 00:10:52,240 --> 00:10:55,240 Speaker 1: One thing to be reminded of, though, is that Clay 194 00:10:55,880 --> 00:10:59,760 Speaker 1: the Democrats shot first, so to speak on that Harry Reid, 195 00:11:00,000 --> 00:11:03,320 Speaker 1: Democrats decided and then had to live with the reality 196 00:11:03,360 --> 00:11:06,600 Speaker 1: when things change. But then the Democrats were claiming, oh, 197 00:11:06,600 --> 00:11:09,320 Speaker 1: the Republicans did it. Of course, of course, right, so 198 00:11:09,360 --> 00:11:11,600 Speaker 1: that well, and like we're like, guys, if you do this, 199 00:11:11,880 --> 00:11:14,000 Speaker 1: we're going to do this. They did it, and then 200 00:11:14,040 --> 00:11:16,000 Speaker 1: when we did it, they said, why are you doing 201 00:11:16,040 --> 00:11:16,679 Speaker 1: it first? 202 00:11:16,960 --> 00:11:19,480 Speaker 2: Well, this is also one of the great challenges of 203 00:11:19,520 --> 00:11:24,280 Speaker 2: communication in general. Democrats shut down the government. This is 204 00:11:24,360 --> 00:11:27,920 Speaker 2: their choice, but lots of people out in America believe 205 00:11:28,000 --> 00:11:30,840 Speaker 2: that Republicans are the ones who shut down the government. 206 00:11:31,200 --> 00:11:33,440 Speaker 2: So they say, wow, Republicans are in control of the 207 00:11:33,440 --> 00:11:35,040 Speaker 2: House and Senate, but yeah, you got to have sixty 208 00:11:35,120 --> 00:11:37,040 Speaker 2: votes to be able to move anything, and Democrats are 209 00:11:37,040 --> 00:11:39,679 Speaker 2: the ones that won't allow things to move. But a 210 00:11:39,720 --> 00:11:44,360 Speaker 2: lot of Democrat base voters believe that it's actually Republicans 211 00:11:44,360 --> 00:11:46,880 Speaker 2: to blame on this issue, so yes, they will just 212 00:11:47,000 --> 00:11:49,880 Speaker 2: lie no matter what. But I think they are more 213 00:11:49,960 --> 00:11:55,000 Speaker 2: diabolical than Republicans are. And so if you end the filibuster, 214 00:11:55,520 --> 00:11:59,080 Speaker 2: then there will be I think worse results for Republicans 215 00:11:59,200 --> 00:12:02,040 Speaker 2: ahead in any benefit you get in the short term. 216 00:12:02,440 --> 00:12:07,240 Speaker 1: But to be fair Trump, let's say he ends the filibuster. 217 00:12:07,880 --> 00:12:09,880 Speaker 1: Obviously it would be the Senate. But if he says, 218 00:12:09,960 --> 00:12:11,719 Speaker 1: let's do this, guys, and they go along with it. 219 00:12:12,920 --> 00:12:16,600 Speaker 1: We sees Greenland, They're not gonna make a peep. We'd 220 00:12:16,640 --> 00:12:20,439 Speaker 1: say Greenland is now a state. We fill it with maga. 221 00:12:20,679 --> 00:12:22,760 Speaker 1: You know, we tell all we we have a like 222 00:12:22,800 --> 00:12:25,240 Speaker 1: an all hands on deck MAGA from I got a 223 00:12:25,240 --> 00:12:27,880 Speaker 1: bunch of New Yorkers that would probably move there right now. 224 00:12:28,160 --> 00:12:31,280 Speaker 1: Who are Republicans? Yeah, and you know, I mean we 225 00:12:31,280 --> 00:12:34,480 Speaker 1: could stack the deck too. We we grab Greenland. What 226 00:12:34,559 --> 00:12:36,400 Speaker 1: was the other one? He's thinking, we don't want Canada 227 00:12:36,440 --> 00:12:43,000 Speaker 1: too many Panama Canal. We sees the Panama Canal. Trump 228 00:12:43,040 --> 00:12:45,960 Speaker 1: maybe crowns himself king for life. I don't know. Libs cry, 229 00:12:46,160 --> 00:12:48,319 Speaker 1: here's a fun here's a fun question for you. 230 00:12:48,400 --> 00:12:55,240 Speaker 2: Building on that, how many different seizure of territory plans 231 00:12:55,280 --> 00:12:57,680 Speaker 2: do you think there are in the Pentagon right now? 232 00:12:57,880 --> 00:13:01,120 Speaker 2: And how many different countries like that just warp, you know, 233 00:13:01,200 --> 00:13:04,040 Speaker 2: sort of warp game, like if heg Seth wanted to 234 00:13:04,800 --> 00:13:12,600 Speaker 2: Is there a America seeses? I think certainly there is Greenland, Iceland, Canada. 235 00:13:12,880 --> 00:13:17,920 Speaker 1: We invaded Grenada, Yeah, okay, so this is like, you know, 236 00:13:17,960 --> 00:13:20,320 Speaker 1: invading a meeting of the rotary club down the street 237 00:13:20,400 --> 00:13:23,000 Speaker 1: or something. I mean this is like we invaded Grenada. 238 00:13:23,080 --> 00:13:24,680 Speaker 1: So I'm sure we got plans to do it. So 239 00:13:24,720 --> 00:13:26,840 Speaker 1: how many countries do you think we have planned? 240 00:13:26,960 --> 00:13:30,400 Speaker 2: Venezuela for sure, Like there's somewhere it's culled, you know 241 00:13:30,480 --> 00:13:33,800 Speaker 2: right now, socio political flashpoints, defend Taiwan. 242 00:13:33,960 --> 00:13:35,600 Speaker 1: I'm sure all that's game planned out. 243 00:13:35,920 --> 00:13:39,160 Speaker 2: I would like to know the most unexpected country that 244 00:13:39,240 --> 00:13:41,640 Speaker 2: we have plans if we had to take it over 245 00:13:42,040 --> 00:13:44,640 Speaker 2: currently at the Pentagon, that would be a big question. 246 00:13:44,920 --> 00:13:48,760 Speaker 1: I still think Greenland you will be ours. Oh yes, 247 00:13:49,320 --> 00:13:52,120 Speaker 1: you will be ours just a matter of time. In 248 00:13:52,160 --> 00:13:55,480 Speaker 1: an ideal situation, my friends, in an ideal situation, everything 249 00:13:55,559 --> 00:13:59,160 Speaker 1: is planned out, including you know, what goes on in 250 00:13:59,200 --> 00:14:03,199 Speaker 1: your life. But pregnancies happen, and for a lot of 251 00:14:03,240 --> 00:14:06,200 Speaker 1: women out there, there's an unplanned pregnancy that occurs, they're 252 00:14:06,200 --> 00:14:09,240 Speaker 1: scared and they're getting pressure, and the pressure is often 253 00:14:09,280 --> 00:14:11,920 Speaker 1: go to a planned parenthood clinic and quote take care 254 00:14:11,960 --> 00:14:14,640 Speaker 1: of it. And that's so sad. We don't want that 255 00:14:14,679 --> 00:14:18,000 Speaker 1: to happen. And that's why Preborn is there for all 256 00:14:18,040 --> 00:14:20,320 Speaker 1: of us who are pro life, to save the lives 257 00:14:20,320 --> 00:14:23,160 Speaker 1: of tiny babies and to help these mothers bring their 258 00:14:23,240 --> 00:14:25,920 Speaker 1: children into this world. I want to share the story 259 00:14:25,920 --> 00:14:29,920 Speaker 1: of Victoria because Victoria found herself at a planned parenthood facility. 260 00:14:29,960 --> 00:14:32,120 Speaker 1: She was scared and confused, and they gave her the 261 00:14:32,160 --> 00:14:35,240 Speaker 1: abortion pill. But she knew that would be a tragic mistake. 262 00:14:35,760 --> 00:14:38,960 Speaker 1: So she went to a preborn clinic and they said, no, no, 263 00:14:39,120 --> 00:14:41,440 Speaker 1: let's have you meet the baby in your womb. They 264 00:14:41,480 --> 00:14:44,240 Speaker 1: showed her via ultrasound, the little heartbeat, the little head, 265 00:14:44,320 --> 00:14:48,960 Speaker 1: little hands, and guess what she had, a beautiful baby girl. 266 00:14:49,560 --> 00:14:53,240 Speaker 1: Twenty eight dollars. Twenty eight dollars is what it costs 267 00:14:53,280 --> 00:14:56,080 Speaker 1: to give that free ultrasound to women and clinics across 268 00:14:56,080 --> 00:14:59,920 Speaker 1: America right now, preborn clinics that are there saving lives 269 00:15:00,240 --> 00:15:03,600 Speaker 1: and giving love and support to these women in a 270 00:15:03,640 --> 00:15:06,800 Speaker 1: difficult situation.

Welcome back in here too, Play and Buck. 342 00:19:01,280 --> 00:19:05,360 Speaker 1: At some point, they're gonna have to figure out how 343 00:19:05,359 --> 00:19:07,639 Speaker 1: the shutdown ends. I mean, I do think they're not 344 00:19:07,680 --> 00:19:10,440 Speaker 1: gonna let the government stay shut down forever. I wonder 345 00:19:10,480 --> 00:19:13,760 Speaker 1: how Democrats are going to try to spin this thing. 346 00:19:15,040 --> 00:19:19,800 Speaker 1: We've also got more election fallout that we can talk about. 347 00:19:19,800 --> 00:19:23,560 Speaker 1: I'll be honest with deal Clay. Most of the assessments 348 00:19:23,600 --> 00:19:27,040 Speaker 1: that I'm seeing from people about what happened on Tuesday, 349 00:19:27,600 --> 00:19:30,440 Speaker 1: I don't think are very good. You know, the people 350 00:19:30,480 --> 00:19:32,720 Speaker 1: that recognize Mondani's not gonna be good for New York 351 00:19:32,760 --> 00:19:38,400 Speaker 1: Shore and all this. That's obvious. But I don't think 352 00:19:38,440 --> 00:19:41,359 Speaker 1: that there are clear, huge lessons, not just for the 353 00:19:41,400 --> 00:19:43,960 Speaker 1: presidential election in twenty eight but even for the mid terms. 354 00:19:44,040 --> 00:19:45,719 Speaker 1: You take from this, there are some things you can 355 00:19:45,800 --> 00:19:49,640 Speaker 1: draw from it, but it's always grain of salt has 356 00:19:49,680 --> 00:19:52,480 Speaker 1: to be added in it. It was a difficult night 357 00:19:52,680 --> 00:19:56,040 Speaker 1: no matter what for the Republicans to try to pull 358 00:19:56,080 --> 00:19:58,400 Speaker 1: out the well in New York. It wasn't even a Republican. 359 00:19:58,440 --> 00:20:00,879 Speaker 1: It was just a last ditch effort to stop a communist. 360 00:20:01,680 --> 00:20:02,240 Speaker 1: I think the. 361 00:20:02,200 --> 00:20:05,000 Speaker 2: Big question, and this is going to be the only 362 00:20:05,119 --> 00:20:08,879 Speaker 2: question for the next year, is to what extent do 363 00:20:09,720 --> 00:20:13,800 Speaker 2: Trump voters who are non traditional voters show up in 364 00:20:13,880 --> 00:20:18,560 Speaker 2: twenty twenty six, Because there are more Trump supporters in 365 00:20:18,640 --> 00:20:22,320 Speaker 2: the country than there are Democrat supporters. That's what the 366 00:20:22,359 --> 00:20:26,520 Speaker 2: twenty twenty four election showed us. But the people who 367 00:20:26,560 --> 00:20:31,000 Speaker 2: hate Trump, they show up for everything. They show up 368 00:20:31,000 --> 00:20:34,640 Speaker 2: for the dog catcher election, they show up for school board, 369 00:20:34,840 --> 00:20:37,840 Speaker 2: they show up. It doesn't even matter. And so their 370 00:20:37,960 --> 00:20:42,239 Speaker 2: base is more reliably going to turn out uh in 371 00:20:42,320 --> 00:20:45,520 Speaker 2: elections like twenty five off year elections in general. So 372 00:20:45,960 --> 00:20:48,160 Speaker 2: how good are the candidates? Well, yes, I don't think 373 00:20:48,160 --> 00:20:50,120 Speaker 2: we talked about this yesterday. I asked you this off air. 374 00:20:50,320 --> 00:20:52,679 Speaker 2: For instance, I think you and I would agree that 375 00:20:52,760 --> 00:20:55,880 Speaker 2: Glenn Youngkin is about as good of a candidate as 376 00:20:55,960 --> 00:20:59,480 Speaker 2: the Republicans could have in Virginia. He wasn't allowed to 377 00:20:59,560 --> 00:21:03,000 Speaker 2: run for reelection because in Virginia you only get one term. 378 00:21:03,080 --> 00:21:05,680 Speaker 2: Now they can be non consecutive, so he could come 379 00:21:05,720 --> 00:21:07,840 Speaker 2: back and run again in four years. The guy he beat, 380 00:21:07,960 --> 00:21:10,920 Speaker 2: Terry mccauliffe, was trying to do just that. What would 381 00:21:10,960 --> 00:21:13,600 Speaker 2: the results have been if Glenn Youngkin had been on 382 00:21:13,680 --> 00:21:16,480 Speaker 2: the ballot in twenty five when some serience loses by 383 00:21:16,520 --> 00:21:18,720 Speaker 2: what fifteen? What would the difference have been? 384 00:21:18,800 --> 00:21:21,840 Speaker 1: So Youngkin? This is the way I see it. First 385 00:21:21,840 --> 00:21:25,240 Speaker 1: of all, that the trend was the friend of Democrats 386 00:21:25,240 --> 00:21:28,720 Speaker 1: in this one overall in Virginia. Because Trump won Virginia, 387 00:21:28,760 --> 00:21:31,119 Speaker 1: Democrats are ticked off. As I mentioned, a lot of 388 00:21:31,160 --> 00:21:38,640 Speaker 1: the northern Virginia suburbs, and really we're talking like Arlington, Fairfax, 389 00:21:38,840 --> 00:21:42,320 Speaker 1: you know, so where all the government employees who don't 390 00:21:42,320 --> 00:21:45,280 Speaker 1: live in DC live, they live inside the Beltway. So 391 00:21:45,520 --> 00:21:47,560 Speaker 1: some of them are in Maryland too, you know, Bethesda, 392 00:21:47,600 --> 00:21:51,280 Speaker 1: et cetera. But obviously there was no big Maryland election 393 00:21:51,320 --> 00:21:53,680 Speaker 1: that we were focused on, so you have that, and 394 00:21:53,720 --> 00:21:56,520 Speaker 1: they were ticked off about the shutdown. But also because 395 00:21:57,000 --> 00:21:59,320 Speaker 1: they've had a Republican governor, and they're angry about that 396 00:21:59,320 --> 00:22:02,480 Speaker 1: because they don't like sanity. They want they want insanity. 397 00:22:03,560 --> 00:22:07,080 Speaker 1: I think that the other issue, though, was win some Sears. 398 00:22:07,920 --> 00:22:13,399 Speaker 1: She was really pounding this issue of transgenders in the 399 00:22:13,840 --> 00:22:17,240 Speaker 1: you know, women's bathrooms, that kind of stuff, and that 400 00:22:17,400 --> 00:22:20,480 Speaker 1: didn't seem like it was landing with the elector this 401 00:22:20,560 --> 00:22:24,520 Speaker 1: time around. But when Newsom Ran, I mean not Newsom, sorry, 402 00:22:25,160 --> 00:22:30,320 Speaker 1: Young Kin Ran, whoa both tall, handsome, angular jaws, easy 403 00:22:30,359 --> 00:22:33,120 Speaker 1: to get them confused. But when Young Kin was running, 404 00:22:33,640 --> 00:22:37,200 Speaker 1: remember there was a lot of anger about the school 405 00:22:37,320 --> 00:22:41,280 Speaker 1: shutdowns that Democrats had and Young Kin was kind of 406 00:22:41,320 --> 00:22:46,920 Speaker 1: a sane, you know, fleece vest dad like person and 407 00:22:47,080 --> 00:22:48,720 Speaker 1: be like, we're going to open up the schools. We're 408 00:22:48,760 --> 00:22:51,320 Speaker 1: not going to do that crazy stuff again. So he 409 00:22:51,520 --> 00:22:55,560 Speaker 1: tapped into something that was powerful in that moment. I 410 00:22:55,560 --> 00:22:59,120 Speaker 1: don't think the Sears campaign was able to tap into 411 00:22:59,160 --> 00:23:02,760 Speaker 1: anything if actively. Obviously we agree with the sentiment on 412 00:23:02,800 --> 00:23:08,000 Speaker 1: the transgender issue, but that wasn't price of electricity, government shutdown, 413 00:23:08,440 --> 00:23:12,119 Speaker 1: anti trump Ism, these were much bigger and cost of living, 414 00:23:12,160 --> 00:23:14,840 Speaker 1: these were much bigger things. This time around. 415 00:23:14,600 --> 00:23:18,800 Speaker 2: Six hundred thousand Trump voters did not show up in Virginia. 416 00:23:19,840 --> 00:23:21,520 Speaker 1: What do you think that is? If you're one of 417 00:23:21,560 --> 00:23:23,600 Speaker 1: those Trump voters, what are you what are you thinking? 418 00:23:24,200 --> 00:23:27,320 Speaker 1: Because this just makes it harder for Trump. I think 419 00:23:27,320 --> 00:23:30,840 Speaker 1: it is the question, uh, the analogy that I would make. 420 00:23:31,160 --> 00:23:32,760 Speaker 1: Can I just put it out a quick ass while 421 00:23:32,760 --> 00:23:36,199 Speaker 1: you're before your analogy? If you voted, if you voted 422 00:23:36,760 --> 00:23:40,040 Speaker 1: for Trump, but and you live in Virginia and or 423 00:23:40,040 --> 00:23:42,600 Speaker 1: do not vote, or New Jersey or New Jersey, thank 424 00:23:42,640 --> 00:23:45,920 Speaker 1: you in Jersey too, if you're living either the state. 425 00:23:46,080 --> 00:23:47,159 Speaker 1: By the way, I don't think we're going to get 426 00:23:47,160 --> 00:23:48,919 Speaker 1: a single call because I think everyone who listens to 427 00:23:48,960 --> 00:23:51,760 Speaker 1: the show who voted voted again. I really believe that. 428 00:23:52,240 --> 00:23:55,480 Speaker 1: But if you voted, so now we're gonna get people 429 00:23:55,520 --> 00:23:56,800 Speaker 1: to say. 430 00:23:57,040 --> 00:23:59,600 Speaker 2: No. If you're in New Jersey or Virginia, you voted 431 00:23:59,600 --> 00:24:01,840 Speaker 2: Trump last year, but you didn't show up to vote 432 00:24:01,880 --> 00:24:02,280 Speaker 2: this year? 433 00:24:02,400 --> 00:24:05,040 Speaker 1: Why why? Yes? I want to know why. Call in 434 00:24:05,119 --> 00:24:07,240 Speaker 1: and tell us why. And by the way, if it's 435 00:24:07,560 --> 00:24:09,280 Speaker 1: you know, you were worried your pizza was going to 436 00:24:09,359 --> 00:24:11,679 Speaker 1: get called and the kid, let us know that. But 437 00:24:11,760 --> 00:24:13,480 Speaker 1: if there was some other reason, I want to know 438 00:24:13,520 --> 00:24:13,800 Speaker 1: that too. 439 00:24:13,920 --> 00:24:15,880 Speaker 2: Let me let me give you my analogy, and I'll 440 00:24:15,880 --> 00:24:19,919 Speaker 2: go into the world of sports to explain it. For 441 00:24:20,000 --> 00:24:23,679 Speaker 2: those of us out there who are awesome college football fans. 442 00:24:25,480 --> 00:24:28,880 Speaker 2: If you go to a college football stadium this Saturday 443 00:24:29,480 --> 00:24:33,120 Speaker 2: for the football game, there will be one hundred thousand 444 00:24:33,200 --> 00:24:36,879 Speaker 2: people eighty thousand, seventy five thousand people that show up 445 00:24:36,920 --> 00:24:40,359 Speaker 2: for the football game. If you go in a couple 446 00:24:40,400 --> 00:24:43,679 Speaker 2: of months for a basketball game, there might be eight 447 00:24:43,800 --> 00:24:47,639 Speaker 2: or nine thousand. If you go for the next time 448 00:24:47,680 --> 00:24:50,600 Speaker 2: to go watch a women's softball game or a men's 449 00:24:51,119 --> 00:24:54,840 Speaker 2: baseball game, there might be a thousand people there. 450 00:24:55,560 --> 00:24:55,800 Speaker 1: Buck. 451 00:24:55,920 --> 00:25:01,320 Speaker 2: My analogy is Trump people are football fans. They show 452 00:25:01,400 --> 00:25:04,359 Speaker 2: up for the big event. They want to be a 453 00:25:04,440 --> 00:25:08,240 Speaker 2: part of something much larger than themselves. They care about 454 00:25:08,240 --> 00:25:11,240 Speaker 2: the thing that everybody cares about, which is the presidential election. 455 00:25:12,600 --> 00:25:16,280 Speaker 2: Democrats have more die hard fans that are going to 456 00:25:16,359 --> 00:25:19,680 Speaker 2: show up for the football game all the way down 457 00:25:19,760 --> 00:25:24,600 Speaker 2: to the gymnastics competition. Their die hards are more die 458 00:25:24,600 --> 00:25:29,840 Speaker 2: hard across the entire universe of voting, and football brings 459 00:25:29,880 --> 00:25:32,200 Speaker 2: in a lot of guys, a lot of gals too, 460 00:25:32,440 --> 00:25:36,000 Speaker 2: who otherwise don't care that much about sports, but the 461 00:25:36,040 --> 00:25:38,520 Speaker 2: event is so big they feel compelled to be a 462 00:25:38,560 --> 00:25:43,000 Speaker 2: part of it, and that is what Trump has mobilized. 463 00:25:43,320 --> 00:25:46,639 Speaker 2: But the mobilization only works. Another analogy would be, you know, 464 00:25:46,680 --> 00:25:49,879 Speaker 2: there's fifty million people buck who watch the AFC or 465 00:25:50,000 --> 00:25:53,520 Speaker 2: NFC championship game. That's a huge amount of crowd. That's 466 00:25:53,560 --> 00:25:57,160 Speaker 2: the final four teams that are playing for to win 467 00:25:57,240 --> 00:26:01,080 Speaker 2: the super Bowl. But then one hundred million people show 468 00:26:01,200 --> 00:26:04,560 Speaker 2: up and watch the Super Bowl. So you're a fan 469 00:26:04,880 --> 00:26:09,440 Speaker 2: enough not to watch the final four, but a fan 470 00:26:09,560 --> 00:26:13,080 Speaker 2: that wants to watch the huge final event. People want 471 00:26:13,119 --> 00:26:16,080 Speaker 2: to be a part of the biggest thing, and Trump 472 00:26:16,240 --> 00:26:18,639 Speaker 2: has more people who like him who want to be 473 00:26:18,680 --> 00:26:21,960 Speaker 2: a part of the biggest thing. That would be my analogy, and. 474 00:26:22,240 --> 00:26:25,359 Speaker 1: This is what I saw ties in with voting with 475 00:26:25,520 --> 00:26:29,400 Speaker 1: Zorn again, analyzing the way you talk about sports, I'm 476 00:26:29,480 --> 00:26:31,280 Speaker 1: if I'm analyzing the other team's offense. 477 00:26:31,320 --> 00:26:31,560 Speaker 6: Here. 478 00:26:32,000 --> 00:26:34,359 Speaker 1: You want to know what they're doing well, is also 479 00:26:34,400 --> 00:26:36,800 Speaker 1: what their weaknesses are, right, You have to know both 480 00:26:36,840 --> 00:26:43,800 Speaker 1: of those things. Zorn created a culture around his candidacy. 481 00:26:43,920 --> 00:26:47,600 Speaker 1: Trump has done that, and he's the first Republican to 482 00:26:47,680 --> 00:26:51,280 Speaker 1: do that as a president in my lifetime. And this 483 00:26:51,320 --> 00:26:53,680 Speaker 1: is why people the only person that really did that 484 00:26:54,040 --> 00:26:56,800 Speaker 1: before him on the Republican side, and living memory would 485 00:26:56,800 --> 00:26:59,840 Speaker 1: be Reagan. There was a Reagan was a movement as 486 00:27:00,080 --> 00:27:02,720 Speaker 1: well as a president. Trump is a movement as well 487 00:27:02,720 --> 00:27:07,119 Speaker 1: as a president. And I would even argue, I mean Reagan, 488 00:27:07,160 --> 00:27:11,240 Speaker 1: there's a lot of cultural implications too, but Trump specifically 489 00:27:12,160 --> 00:27:15,760 Speaker 1: has brought. I mean, whether it was the rallies, the hats, 490 00:27:16,720 --> 00:27:19,200 Speaker 1: the dance, I mean, you think about all these cultural 491 00:27:19,240 --> 00:27:22,399 Speaker 1: markers now, McClay anywhere in the world, I can I 492 00:27:22,480 --> 00:27:24,840 Speaker 1: can you know. I mean this happened in Taiwan a 493 00:27:24,880 --> 00:27:27,159 Speaker 1: couple of times. I just do a couple of words 494 00:27:27,000 --> 00:27:30,840 Speaker 1: of like Trump, I'm like, probably love type safest city. 495 00:27:30,840 --> 00:27:33,480 Speaker 1: The people of Taiwan love it, like they all know 496 00:27:33,760 --> 00:27:37,800 Speaker 1: right away. He is such a larger than life character. 497 00:27:38,440 --> 00:27:42,320 Speaker 1: But also people want to be a part of it. 498 00:27:42,320 --> 00:27:45,880 Speaker 1: It makes them feel a part. Voting for George W. 499 00:27:45,960 --> 00:27:49,160 Speaker 1: Bush was like, well, I can't vote for the communists, 500 00:27:49,200 --> 00:27:52,920 Speaker 1: so here I am, or like Mitt Romney was, maybe 501 00:27:53,359 --> 00:27:56,080 Speaker 1: Mitt Romney even more so. Mitt Romney was like, well, 502 00:27:56,119 --> 00:27:58,080 Speaker 1: I guess we got to have Lumberg in charge because 503 00:27:58,080 --> 00:28:00,720 Speaker 1: otherwise the factory will burn down. Like that was you 504 00:28:00,760 --> 00:28:03,360 Speaker 1: know how that was going. I do think that you're 505 00:28:03,440 --> 00:28:04,000 Speaker 1: right about that. 506 00:28:04,240 --> 00:28:07,879 Speaker 2: And this is why you guys, I'm on record for 507 00:28:07,920 --> 00:28:10,920 Speaker 2: this for several years now. As soon as the midterms 508 00:28:10,920 --> 00:28:13,520 Speaker 2: are over, you're gonna hear Trump's a king, Trump is hitler, 509 00:28:13,560 --> 00:28:16,280 Speaker 2: Trump is a fascist writ large, over and over again. 510 00:28:16,800 --> 00:28:20,159 Speaker 2: As soon as the midterms are over, the pivot is 511 00:28:20,160 --> 00:28:22,440 Speaker 2: going to make your head spin. They're going to say 512 00:28:23,359 --> 00:28:26,480 Speaker 2: Republicans will never be able to replicate the turnout that 513 00:28:26,520 --> 00:28:30,280 Speaker 2: they got from President Trump. He is a uniquely gifted 514 00:28:30,320 --> 00:28:33,480 Speaker 2: political candidate, the likes of which we will never see again, 515 00:28:34,080 --> 00:28:36,520 Speaker 2: and MAGA is going to die with him. That's going 516 00:28:36,600 --> 00:28:39,200 Speaker 2: to be the argument, and it will remain to be 517 00:28:39,320 --> 00:28:42,240 Speaker 2: seen whether that's true or not based on what we 518 00:28:42,320 --> 00:28:45,000 Speaker 2: see in twenty eight. But I like this question that 519 00:28:45,040 --> 00:28:49,360 Speaker 2: we put out there Virginia, New Jersey, if you voted 520 00:28:49,440 --> 00:28:52,440 Speaker 2: for Trump and did not show up, and again there's 521 00:28:52,480 --> 00:28:55,640 Speaker 2: a lot of y'all. Six hundred thousand Trump voters didn't 522 00:28:55,680 --> 00:28:59,200 Speaker 2: show up in New Jersey, six hundred thousand Trump voters 523 00:28:59,240 --> 00:29:02,960 Speaker 2: didn't show up in Virginia. To reiterate what we said yesterday, 524 00:29:03,320 --> 00:29:08,480 Speaker 2: Trump got more votes for president in Virginia and New 525 00:29:08,560 --> 00:29:13,760 Speaker 2: Jersey than the winning gubernatorial candidates got on Tuesday night. 526 00:29:14,560 --> 00:29:17,320 Speaker 2: Think about that for a minute. Now, turnout was obviously 527 00:29:17,520 --> 00:29:21,560 Speaker 2: up higher for a presidential election, but there were enough 528 00:29:21,600 --> 00:29:24,600 Speaker 2: people in Virginia who voted Trump who if they had 529 00:29:24,640 --> 00:29:28,360 Speaker 2: all showed up, then the Republican governors would have won 530 00:29:28,440 --> 00:29:31,200 Speaker 2: in both New Jersey and in Virginia, because that's the 531 00:29:31,280 --> 00:29:34,320 Speaker 2: numbers that Trump put up. And I'm just curious, Buck, 532 00:29:34,600 --> 00:29:37,440 Speaker 2: The question is, why did you not show up? Why 533 00:29:37,440 --> 00:29:39,800 Speaker 2: would you why would you take the time and be 534 00:29:39,880 --> 00:29:42,920 Speaker 2: committed in the presidential Maybe it's just a lot of 535 00:29:42,920 --> 00:29:44,800 Speaker 2: people don't think state matters that much. 536 00:29:45,960 --> 00:29:48,000 Speaker 1: You know, they don't notice who the governor is. They don't. 537 00:29:48,200 --> 00:29:50,240 Speaker 1: I mean, we know in New York that that sleo 538 00:29:50,280 --> 00:29:52,840 Speaker 1: would have won if you hadn't suppressed all this Leela vote. 539 00:29:52,920 --> 00:29:54,440 Speaker 1: That's on that's on you, Clay. 540 00:29:55,120 --> 00:29:58,200 Speaker 2: That was what seven point one percent he would have 541 00:29:58,240 --> 00:30:01,760 Speaker 2: been at fifty point one per I cost him forty 542 00:30:01,800 --> 00:30:03,360 Speaker 2: three percent of the New York electorate. 543 00:30:04,320 --> 00:30:06,520 Speaker 1: You know, it's funny. I actually I had I had 544 00:30:07,240 --> 00:30:09,200 Speaker 1: dinner with a friend of mine last night who was 545 00:30:09,240 --> 00:30:13,280 Speaker 1: a former whose career MIPD and he actually knows Broad Channel. 546 00:30:13,440 --> 00:30:16,160 Speaker 1: We had a little laugh about this. He knows Broad 547 00:30:16,200 --> 00:30:20,600 Speaker 1: Channel Island uh, And and I was like, which, just 548 00:30:20,800 --> 00:30:22,840 Speaker 1: I'm bringing it up because that was if you went 549 00:30:22,920 --> 00:30:26,880 Speaker 1: to bed Tuesday night. That was the single. There were 550 00:30:26,920 --> 00:30:31,280 Speaker 1: three colors for the map for Cuomo, Mamdani Sliwa. There 551 00:30:31,400 --> 00:30:35,239 Speaker 1: was not a color for Sliwa winning anywhere on the 552 00:30:35,400 --> 00:30:38,600 Speaker 1: entire because Cuomo even Staten Island. I mean, some of 553 00:30:38,600 --> 00:30:42,880 Speaker 1: the places that would have gone red went Cuomo overall. 554 00:30:43,160 --> 00:30:45,040 Speaker 1: But there was one little island that it was Broad 555 00:30:45,080 --> 00:30:47,120 Speaker 1: Channel Island, which is near for a rockaway and then 556 00:30:47,120 --> 00:30:49,240 Speaker 1: it flipped over. But I asked him because I said, 557 00:30:49,240 --> 00:30:50,680 Speaker 1: I said, you know you were MYPD. I was like, 558 00:30:50,720 --> 00:30:54,200 Speaker 1: let me guess Broad Channel Island full of like FDN 559 00:30:54,320 --> 00:30:56,560 Speaker 1: Y and NYPD guys, right, And he said, oh yeah, 560 00:30:56,600 --> 00:30:59,200 Speaker 1: I lived there for years. That place is uh. That 561 00:30:59,280 --> 00:31:03,160 Speaker 1: place is based a haven for cops and firefighters. Who 562 00:31:03,320 --> 00:31:05,480 Speaker 1: I was like, well, yeah, of course that's where. But 563 00:31:05,520 --> 00:31:09,040 Speaker 1: Sleeva didn't even win that island Clay. So that was 564 00:31:09,080 --> 00:31:10,960 Speaker 1: it was a rough night. It was a rough night. 565 00:31:11,080 --> 00:31:14,800 Speaker 2: At what point in the returns was it thirty seconds 566 00:31:14,880 --> 00:31:17,520 Speaker 2: after they started did the Curtis Slee what camp say? Yeah, 567 00:31:17,520 --> 00:31:21,240 Speaker 2: the math is not gonna map, you know, like how 568 00:31:21,320 --> 00:31:23,000 Speaker 2: quickly did the numbers? 569 00:31:23,120 --> 00:31:24,960 Speaker 1: Like how long? Because I'm sure if you. 570 00:31:24,960 --> 00:31:27,320 Speaker 2: Worked as hard as Curtis Sliwad did, he went to 571 00:31:27,360 --> 00:31:31,360 Speaker 2: bed the night before the election thinking maybe lightning will strike, 572 00:31:31,440 --> 00:31:32,320 Speaker 2: maybe I will win. 573 00:31:33,520 --> 00:31:37,120 Speaker 1: We have third sight.
