1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:03,120
Speaker 1: Twenty four is brought to you by Puretalk cell phone service.

2
00:00:03,279 --> 00:00:04,560
Speaker 1: Never sounded so good.

3
00:00:04,680 --> 00:00:08,280
Speaker 2: Dial pound two five zero and say the keywords Clay

4
00:00:08,320 --> 00:00:08,680
Speaker 2: and Buck.

5
00:00:10,400 --> 00:00:14,480
Speaker 3: This is twenty four a weekly highlight reel from the Clay,

6
00:00:14,520 --> 00:00:18,760
Speaker 3: Travis and Buck Sexton Show featuring all things election coverage.

7
00:00:19,239 --> 00:00:21,759
Speaker 4: Let's get started. Here are Clay and Buck.

8
00:00:23,079 --> 00:00:27,440
Speaker 1: Ted Cruz against Colin Allred last night on the debate

9
00:00:27,440 --> 00:00:30,400
Speaker 1: stage on this issue of men playing or boys playing

10
00:00:30,400 --> 00:00:33,520
Speaker 1: and girls' sports. Really, it's the main thing is once

11
00:00:33,560 --> 00:00:38,720
Speaker 1: boys hit puberty and girls hit puberty, the physiological differences

12
00:00:38,920 --> 00:00:42,800
Speaker 1: are obvious and very real and very powerful. When it

13
00:00:42,840 --> 00:00:46,479
Speaker 1: comes to sports, the physiological differences are real even before that.

14
00:00:46,520 --> 00:00:47,360
Speaker 5: They're real in the womb.

15
00:00:47,360 --> 00:00:50,480
Speaker 1: But I'm just saying the strength and speed differential once

16
00:00:50,520 --> 00:00:52,960
Speaker 1: you know boys and girls hit twelve, thirteen, fourteen years old,

17
00:00:53,000 --> 00:00:56,120
Speaker 1: it becomes very obvious. This is how Ted Cruz laid

18
00:00:56,120 --> 00:00:58,960
Speaker 1: this out. In terms of policies and all read play five.

19
00:00:59,080 --> 00:00:59,960
Speaker 6: He is a co sponsor.

20
00:01:00,160 --> 00:01:02,040
Speaker 7: He voted for a law called the Equality Act. The

21
00:01:02,080 --> 00:01:05,240
Speaker 7: Equality Act mandated that boys be able to go in girls'

22
00:01:05,240 --> 00:01:07,560
Speaker 7: bathrooms and their locker rooms and their changing rooms. He

23
00:01:07,680 --> 00:01:10,360
Speaker 7: voted for it that is his record number two. There

24
00:01:10,400 --> 00:01:12,120
Speaker 7: was a bill. It was a very simple bill. It

25
00:01:12,160 --> 00:01:15,600
Speaker 7: was narrowly defined. It was protecting women in girls' sports.

26
00:01:16,000 --> 00:01:19,640
Speaker 7: He voted no. The only issue on that bill was

27
00:01:19,720 --> 00:01:23,640
Speaker 7: whether biological boys should compete against our daughters. That's not fair.

28
00:01:24,160 --> 00:01:26,959
Speaker 7: Congressman all Read was an NFL linebacker. It is not

29
00:01:27,240 --> 00:01:30,720
Speaker 7: fair for a man to compete against women. The third

30
00:01:30,800 --> 00:01:33,720
Speaker 7: time he signed onto something called the Transgender Bill of

31
00:01:33,800 --> 00:01:38,000
Speaker 7: Rights explicitly and he co sponsored it mandated that boys

32
00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:41,080
Speaker 7: compete against girls sports. And just two weeks ago, Congressmen

33
00:01:41,120 --> 00:01:44,560
Speaker 7: all Read joined one hundred radical Democrats in demanding that

34
00:01:44,640 --> 00:01:49,280
Speaker 7: our military allowed drag shows on military bases, pay for

35
00:01:49,440 --> 00:01:53,520
Speaker 7: soldiers to have sex changes using taxpayer money, and pay

36
00:01:53,560 --> 00:01:57,040
Speaker 7: for children to be sterilized and have sex changes on

37
00:01:57,080 --> 00:01:58,040
Speaker 7: military bases.

38
00:02:00,520 --> 00:02:01,520
Speaker 5: That's tough to come back from.

39
00:02:01,560 --> 00:02:03,240
Speaker 1: In Texas, I was gonna say, what do you say

40
00:02:03,280 --> 00:02:06,560
Speaker 1: if you're all read just that's all lies, to say, we're.

41
00:02:06,400 --> 00:02:07,840
Speaker 5: All lies, people have goods.

42
00:02:08,400 --> 00:02:10,960
Speaker 2: He's running scared to your point, buck, He's raised a

43
00:02:10,960 --> 00:02:14,359
Speaker 2: ton of money, but he now has an ad up

44
00:02:14,480 --> 00:02:17,480
Speaker 2: saying that he doesn't think that men should be able

45
00:02:17,520 --> 00:02:20,880
Speaker 2: to compete in women's sports. But I think that's why

46
00:02:20,919 --> 00:02:24,560
Speaker 2: this is crystallizing to such an extent for swing voters.

47
00:02:24,960 --> 00:02:29,400
Speaker 2: Imagine if you're a Latino voter in Texas and you

48
00:02:29,520 --> 00:02:32,520
Speaker 2: see that and you think this is crazy talk.

49
00:02:33,160 --> 00:02:33,480
Speaker 4: Again.

50
00:02:33,639 --> 00:02:37,280
Speaker 2: You can debate border policy and some of that gets confusing.

51
00:02:37,400 --> 00:02:40,840
Speaker 2: You can debate tax policy. It's it's easy to get

52
00:02:41,080 --> 00:02:44,959
Speaker 2: mucked up in the details. Whether a dude should be

53
00:02:45,040 --> 00:02:48,280
Speaker 2: able to compete as a women's athlete and win a

54
00:02:48,320 --> 00:02:52,519
Speaker 2: women's championship is so crystallizing that I think it's cutting

55
00:02:52,520 --> 00:02:54,440
Speaker 2: through the noise as we come and come down the

56
00:02:54,440 --> 00:02:57,600
Speaker 2: home stretch here. And I hope Kamala Harris gets asked

57
00:02:57,639 --> 00:03:00,640
Speaker 2: about this because you thought you've heard words salads from

58
00:03:00,680 --> 00:03:01,280
Speaker 2: her so far.

59
00:03:01,360 --> 00:03:01,600
Speaker 5: Buck.

60
00:03:01,800 --> 00:03:04,280
Speaker 2: Can you imagine her trying to respond on this issue.

61
00:03:05,840 --> 00:03:07,840
Speaker 5: No, but I hope we get a chance to see it.

62
00:03:08,480 --> 00:03:11,720
Speaker 2: The Republicans are looking really good to take control of

63
00:03:11,760 --> 00:03:15,040
Speaker 2: the Senate, Tim Sheehey and Montana is running a great campaign,

64
00:03:15,080 --> 00:03:18,160
Speaker 2: looks likely to beat Tester of West Virginia is going

65
00:03:18,200 --> 00:03:21,440
Speaker 2: to flip has been expected for a while. Bernie Marino

66
00:03:21,760 --> 00:03:24,600
Speaker 2: is I think gonna win in Ohio tomorrow. We're going

67
00:03:24,639 --> 00:03:27,200
Speaker 2: to be joined by Eric Hubdy, who is looking really

68
00:03:27,200 --> 00:03:30,000
Speaker 2: good in Wisconsin. We need to get Mike Rodgers from

69
00:03:30,040 --> 00:03:34,080
Speaker 2: Michigan on a lot of these battleground states all over

70
00:03:34,120 --> 00:03:37,240
Speaker 2: the Midwest. And we're going to be joined soon by

71
00:03:37,920 --> 00:03:40,720
Speaker 2: our friend Dave McCormick in Pennsylvania. Ted Cruise is with us.

72
00:03:40,760 --> 00:03:41,040
Speaker 4: Now.

73
00:03:41,680 --> 00:03:44,440
Speaker 2: We'll get to the larger picture in a moment. But

74
00:03:44,520 --> 00:03:47,120
Speaker 2: what are you seeing on the ground, Senator? Appreciate you

75
00:03:47,160 --> 00:03:48,960
Speaker 2: making the time to join us. Great job in the

76
00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:51,240
Speaker 2: debate last night. We talked about it some earlier on

77
00:03:51,320 --> 00:03:54,240
Speaker 2: the show. What are you seeing on the ground for

78
00:03:54,320 --> 00:03:58,440
Speaker 2: both yourself and Trump and what our voters most focused

79
00:03:58,480 --> 00:03:59,480
Speaker 2: on in your experience?

80
00:04:00,440 --> 00:04:02,000
Speaker 8: Well, Claig, great to be with you, guys.

81
00:04:02,120 --> 00:04:05,160
Speaker 9: Look at it is a real battle in Texas. My

82
00:04:05,280 --> 00:04:09,520
Speaker 9: biggest challenge in the race is frankly complacency that people say, listen,

83
00:04:09,560 --> 00:04:12,800
Speaker 9: it's Texas, you're a Republican, this is easy. I think

84
00:04:12,840 --> 00:04:17,120
Speaker 9: that's objectively false. Chuck Schumer has been explicit I am

85
00:04:17,160 --> 00:04:19,800
Speaker 9: his number one target in the country, and Schumer and

86
00:04:19,839 --> 00:04:24,000
Speaker 9: George Soros are flooding one hundred and fifty million dollars

87
00:04:24,040 --> 00:04:27,400
Speaker 9: into the state. I'm getting pummeled on TV. I've been

88
00:04:27,600 --> 00:04:31,240
Speaker 9: massively outspent, and there now been more than a dozen

89
00:04:31,360 --> 00:04:34,840
Speaker 9: polls that show this race as a one point race,

90
00:04:34,960 --> 00:04:36,960
Speaker 9: or a two point race, or a three point race.

91
00:04:37,000 --> 00:04:39,760
Speaker 9: They are all in and it is a battle. I'm

92
00:04:40,000 --> 00:04:42,760
Speaker 9: right in the middle of a fifty three stop bus

93
00:04:42,839 --> 00:04:45,320
Speaker 9: tour all over the state of Texas. I'm in witchdof Falls,

94
00:04:45,360 --> 00:04:48,240
Speaker 9: Texas right now, headed up to Amarillo right after that.

95
00:04:48,279 --> 00:04:51,600
Speaker 9: We're crisscrossing the state. But it is a battle, and

96
00:04:51,720 --> 00:04:54,280
Speaker 9: it's a one or two or three point state where

97
00:04:54,279 --> 00:04:56,800
Speaker 9: we are being massively outspent right now.

98
00:04:57,400 --> 00:05:00,000
Speaker 1: You know, Senator Cruz, We've got a lot of people

99
00:05:00,080 --> 00:05:02,640
Speaker 1: full listening right now who live in the great state

100
00:05:02,680 --> 00:05:05,280
Speaker 1: of Texas, and I think to some of them it

101
00:05:05,360 --> 00:05:07,640
Speaker 1: might even be a surprise that you're in anything even

102
00:05:07,720 --> 00:05:09,320
Speaker 1: resembling a close race.

103
00:05:09,560 --> 00:05:10,760
Speaker 5: I think, on the one.

104
00:05:10,600 --> 00:05:12,400
Speaker 1: Hand, you know, you've just been a fixture as a

105
00:05:12,440 --> 00:05:15,120
Speaker 1: conservative senator for a while now, and people just expect

106
00:05:15,160 --> 00:05:16,400
Speaker 1: kind of expect you to be there.

107
00:05:16,680 --> 00:05:18,240
Speaker 5: But we're here to tell them all.

108
00:05:18,560 --> 00:05:20,440
Speaker 1: If you don't want your favorite TV show going off

109
00:05:20,440 --> 00:05:22,000
Speaker 1: the air, so to speak, you got to make sure

110
00:05:22,040 --> 00:05:22,680
Speaker 1: you actually watch.

111
00:05:22,760 --> 00:05:25,640
Speaker 5: You got to show up. How can people help at

112
00:05:25,640 --> 00:05:26,240
Speaker 5: this point?

113
00:05:26,279 --> 00:05:28,640
Speaker 1: What are some of the groups that you'd like to

114
00:05:28,680 --> 00:05:32,120
Speaker 1: see getting more activated and involved. And what has to

115
00:05:32,160 --> 00:05:34,479
Speaker 1: happen to make sure that we pull this across the

116
00:05:34,480 --> 00:05:36,440
Speaker 1: finish line and you get six more years.

117
00:05:37,000 --> 00:05:40,360
Speaker 9: Well, there are two things that matter enormously. Number One,

118
00:05:40,400 --> 00:05:42,839
Speaker 9: if you're in Texas, come out and vote early. Voting

119
00:05:42,880 --> 00:05:45,760
Speaker 9: starts next week on Monday. So come out and vote early,

120
00:05:46,040 --> 00:05:47,360
Speaker 9: and get your friends to vote early.

121
00:05:47,440 --> 00:05:47,920
Speaker 8: Pick up the.

122
00:05:47,839 --> 00:05:51,240
Speaker 9: Phone and call your friends, Email your friends, text your sister,

123
00:05:51,400 --> 00:05:55,160
Speaker 9: your son, your next door neighbor, your co worker, get

124
00:05:55,200 --> 00:05:58,600
Speaker 9: them to vote. Turnout matters enormously. And then secondly, I

125
00:05:58,640 --> 00:06:00,640
Speaker 9: would ask every one of your listeners, whether you're in

126
00:06:00,680 --> 00:06:03,279
Speaker 9: Texas or whether you're in any other state, go to

127
00:06:03,360 --> 00:06:06,760
Speaker 9: our website. It's Ted Cruz dot org, Ted Cruz dot org,

128
00:06:06,800 --> 00:06:10,120
Speaker 9: Ted Cruz dot org. Go to the website and make

129
00:06:10,160 --> 00:06:13,480
Speaker 9: a contribution. Give ten dollars or twenty five or fifty dollars,

130
00:06:13,600 --> 00:06:15,960
Speaker 9: or maybe you can even give one hundred or five

131
00:06:16,040 --> 00:06:19,360
Speaker 9: hundred or one thousand, but whatever you can give, please

132
00:06:19,560 --> 00:06:22,520
Speaker 9: go right now to Ted Cruz dot org because we

133
00:06:22,760 --> 00:06:27,000
Speaker 9: are getting swamped schumeran Soros. Look, at some level, it's

134
00:06:27,000 --> 00:06:32,560
Speaker 9: not complicated. If you are a hard partisan Democrat after

135
00:06:32,680 --> 00:06:36,960
Speaker 9: Donald Trump, there is nobody in the country you want

136
00:06:36,960 --> 00:06:40,920
Speaker 9: to beat more than me, and so every radical left

137
00:06:40,920 --> 00:06:44,359
Speaker 9: wing Democrat gives money to my opponent. When my opponent

138
00:06:44,400 --> 00:06:48,680
Speaker 9: spoke at the Democrat convention in Chicago, the entire stadium

139
00:06:48,760 --> 00:06:54,480
Speaker 9: spontaneously began chanting beat Ted Cruz. I was the only

140
00:06:54,839 --> 00:06:57,160
Speaker 9: person that got that particular treatment. Guys, I'll tell you,

141
00:06:57,160 --> 00:07:00,719
Speaker 9: I'm actually pretty proud of that. You had twenty thousand

142
00:07:00,720 --> 00:07:03,680
Speaker 9: hardcore radicals who I think are trying to destroy America

143
00:07:04,040 --> 00:07:06,560
Speaker 9: and they see me as one of the principal impediments

144
00:07:06,600 --> 00:07:09,200
Speaker 9: standing in their way. Now, I'll tell you what happened

145
00:07:09,240 --> 00:07:11,720
Speaker 9: to my opponent, Colin Allred, who is a very very

146
00:07:11,800 --> 00:07:15,600
Speaker 9: left wing Democrat. He raised over a million dollars in

147
00:07:15,640 --> 00:07:18,680
Speaker 9: the next twenty four hours, and so that money he

148
00:07:18,800 --> 00:07:21,400
Speaker 9: is trying to lie to the voters of Texas. He's

149
00:07:21,440 --> 00:07:24,400
Speaker 9: trying to claim run away from his record. The debate

150
00:07:24,480 --> 00:07:26,960
Speaker 9: last night was all about him running away from his record.

151
00:07:27,240 --> 00:07:30,320
Speaker 9: But the only way we can counteract that is with

152
00:07:30,400 --> 00:07:33,360
Speaker 9: the resources to communicate my record and his record, and

153
00:07:33,400 --> 00:07:36,120
Speaker 9: to do that takes your listeners going to Ted Cruz

154
00:07:36,160 --> 00:07:39,000
Speaker 9: dot org right now and giving generously at ted Cruse

155
00:07:39,040 --> 00:07:39,440
Speaker 9: dot org.

156
00:07:39,960 --> 00:07:43,160
Speaker 2: We played some of the clips from your debate last night, Senator,

157
00:07:43,440 --> 00:07:47,360
Speaker 2: and it seems particularly the case that sometimes, as you

158
00:07:47,440 --> 00:07:50,880
Speaker 2: well know, races can come down to one issue that

159
00:07:51,160 --> 00:07:54,960
Speaker 2: just really connects with voters. It feels like Colin alread

160
00:07:55,080 --> 00:07:59,640
Speaker 2: your opponent his refusal to condemn men pretending to be

161
00:07:59,720 --> 00:08:04,400
Speaker 2: women and playing women's sports, particularly because he's actually an athlete.

162
00:08:05,000 --> 00:08:08,040
Speaker 2: He played football, he played in the NFL, played college football.

163
00:08:08,080 --> 00:08:10,200
Speaker 2: He knows better than anybody else. This is not some

164
00:08:10,880 --> 00:08:16,800
Speaker 2: guy sitting in a university faculty lounge arguing about transgender issues.

165
00:08:16,840 --> 00:08:19,600
Speaker 2: He knows how much bs this is. Are you seeing

166
00:08:19,600 --> 00:08:21,960
Speaker 2: that cut through? Because that the town hall that Trump

167
00:08:22,080 --> 00:08:25,320
Speaker 2: just did with Harris Faulkner today, every woman raised her

168
00:08:25,320 --> 00:08:27,800
Speaker 2: hand when she asked whether they were concerned about their

169
00:08:27,960 --> 00:08:32,319
Speaker 2: daughters or granddaughters competing against men in men's and women's sports.

170
00:08:32,360 --> 00:08:34,280
Speaker 4: Are you seeing that resonate with your voters.

171
00:08:35,280 --> 00:08:39,600
Speaker 9: Absolutely, it is resonating powerfully. And look like you've talked

172
00:08:39,640 --> 00:08:42,319
Speaker 9: about this issue for a long time. You obviously come

173
00:08:42,360 --> 00:08:44,960
Speaker 9: from the world of sports, and so you've been really

174
00:08:45,040 --> 00:08:48,520
Speaker 9: vocal in taking on this lunacy and doing so early on.

175
00:08:49,160 --> 00:08:52,839
Speaker 9: But it is an issue that it really shows how

176
00:08:52,960 --> 00:08:56,880
Speaker 9: radical and extreme Colin already is that he has four

177
00:08:57,000 --> 00:09:01,480
Speaker 9: different times supported and voted for boys competing against girls sports.

178
00:09:01,520 --> 00:09:04,560
Speaker 9: He's voted for boys going to girls' bathrooms, going to

179
00:09:04,559 --> 00:09:07,800
Speaker 9: the girls' locker rooms, going to girls changing rooms. And

180
00:09:08,040 --> 00:09:11,000
Speaker 9: for the radical democrat, Your daughter, your granddaughter, she has

181
00:09:11,040 --> 00:09:13,880
Speaker 9: no right, she has no right not to be at

182
00:09:13,880 --> 00:09:19,160
Speaker 9: her changing room next to a fully naked grown man.

183
00:09:19,760 --> 00:09:22,800
Speaker 9: And and and that's just that's just fundamentally wrong, and

184
00:09:22,800 --> 00:09:26,680
Speaker 9: and and this issue is about fairness, you know it.

185
00:09:26,679 --> 00:09:30,160
Speaker 9: It didn't used to be controversial to observe that boys

186
00:09:30,160 --> 00:09:32,160
Speaker 9: and girls are different, that men and women are different.

187
00:09:32,160 --> 00:09:36,960
Speaker 9: And we all saw the ridiculousness of two biological men

188
00:09:37,000 --> 00:09:41,679
Speaker 9: at the Olympics dominating women's boxing. You know that is

189
00:09:43,240 --> 00:09:46,360
Speaker 9: and and Clay. You put your your finger on exactly

190
00:09:46,360 --> 00:09:49,520
Speaker 9: where this is resonating. It's funny the media thinks that

191
00:09:49,520 --> 00:09:52,800
Speaker 9: that the people who care about this are are the crazies.

192
00:09:53,320 --> 00:09:57,320
Speaker 9: And it is it is moderate undecided women that that

193
00:09:57,480 --> 00:10:01,640
Speaker 9: recognize this is really unfair. And it speaks volumes that

194
00:10:01,679 --> 00:10:05,000
Speaker 9: at the debate Colin Allred tried to keep saying that

195
00:10:05,960 --> 00:10:08,880
Speaker 9: I don't support boys competing against girls. And he's just

196
00:10:08,960 --> 00:10:11,280
Speaker 9: flat out lying because he can say that in the debate,

197
00:10:11,840 --> 00:10:14,480
Speaker 9: but every time he's voted on it, he's voted the

198
00:10:14,520 --> 00:10:14,960
Speaker 9: wrong way.

199
00:10:16,240 --> 00:10:18,960
Speaker 1: Speaking of Senator Ted Cruz, Ted Cruz dot org for

200
00:10:19,000 --> 00:10:21,480
Speaker 1: those of you in Texas, or will I guess anywhere

201
00:10:21,559 --> 00:10:24,640
Speaker 1: right what to pitch in and help out Ted Cruz

202
00:10:24,679 --> 00:10:27,280
Speaker 1: dot org. Right now they're spending one hundred and fifty

203
00:10:27,840 --> 00:10:30,120
Speaker 1: million dollars against you?

204
00:10:30,160 --> 00:10:33,360
Speaker 5: Is Senator Cruz? The How concerned should people.

205
00:10:33,360 --> 00:10:38,319
Speaker 1: Be right now about the California in of Texas. It's

206
00:10:38,320 --> 00:10:41,120
Speaker 1: something that I know Democrats for a long time have

207
00:10:41,200 --> 00:10:44,760
Speaker 1: been hoping to achieve. What are the long term trends

208
00:10:44,760 --> 00:10:46,120
Speaker 1: and what do you think can be done about it?

209
00:10:47,000 --> 00:10:49,360
Speaker 9: So it's a very real issue, and I will say

210
00:10:49,400 --> 00:10:53,760
Speaker 9: there are countervailing factors. So there's some people who leave

211
00:10:53,880 --> 00:10:57,080
Speaker 9: California who lead blue states and they're fed up. They're

212
00:10:57,120 --> 00:10:58,880
Speaker 9: fed up with the high Texas, They're fed up with

213
00:10:58,880 --> 00:11:03,679
Speaker 9: the high regulation, the shutdowns, the woke policies, and they

214
00:11:03,720 --> 00:11:05,320
Speaker 9: look around the country and they say where do I

215
00:11:05,320 --> 00:11:08,880
Speaker 9: want to be and they pick Texas. And the data

216
00:11:08,920 --> 00:11:12,240
Speaker 9: show actually those folks are more conservative than the median

217
00:11:12,320 --> 00:11:15,160
Speaker 9: voter they show up here, they buy a pickup truck,

218
00:11:15,240 --> 00:11:19,079
Speaker 9: a hat and boots and a shotgun, and I call

219
00:11:19,160 --> 00:11:22,200
Speaker 9: them refugees for freedom. I want every one of them

220
00:11:22,600 --> 00:11:25,120
Speaker 9: to come to Texas and to be here and to

221
00:11:25,160 --> 00:11:29,320
Speaker 9: fight for our freedoms. There's another group, which is a

222
00:11:29,480 --> 00:11:34,280
Speaker 9: company moves to Texas and they transfer all their employees.

223
00:11:34,960 --> 00:11:38,280
Speaker 9: And the employees didn't necessarily decide I want to be

224
00:11:38,320 --> 00:11:42,080
Speaker 9: in Texas. They just stick with their jobs. Those guys

225
00:11:42,160 --> 00:11:45,080
Speaker 9: tend to vote exactly like they did where they came from.

226
00:11:45,120 --> 00:11:47,400
Speaker 9: And in many ways, Texas is a victim of our

227
00:11:47,440 --> 00:11:50,640
Speaker 9: own success because we're the best place in the country

228
00:11:50,960 --> 00:11:53,280
Speaker 9: to run a business, and so we have so many

229
00:11:53,360 --> 00:11:57,520
Speaker 9: businesses moving to Texas that they are bringing in hundreds

230
00:11:57,520 --> 00:12:00,800
Speaker 9: of thousands of employees from California and other Blue states,

231
00:12:01,240 --> 00:12:05,360
Speaker 9: and so that influx that they're cross cutting instincts. But

232
00:12:05,400 --> 00:12:08,600
Speaker 9: the second group, it's dangerous because they're voting just like

233
00:12:08,640 --> 00:12:09,480
Speaker 9: they did in La.

234
00:12:11,640 --> 00:12:11,880
Speaker 4: Ted.

235
00:12:13,400 --> 00:12:15,400
Speaker 2: First of all, everybody go to Ted Cruz dot org,

236
00:12:15,440 --> 00:12:17,920
Speaker 2: go donate to him. I want to build on this

237
00:12:17,960 --> 00:12:19,800
Speaker 2: because I do think this is part of a larger

238
00:12:19,880 --> 00:12:22,960
Speaker 2: picture here. If you're looking at the national Senate race,

239
00:12:23,480 --> 00:12:27,360
Speaker 2: Republicans are looking really good in Montana. West Virginia's flipping.

240
00:12:27,800 --> 00:12:31,200
Speaker 2: You're starting to see panic. I think on the Democrat side,

241
00:12:31,559 --> 00:12:34,520
Speaker 2: they are now just trying to flood your state because

242
00:12:34,559 --> 00:12:38,000
Speaker 2: they're terrified of some of the trend lines they're seeing elsewhere,

243
00:12:38,480 --> 00:12:40,960
Speaker 2: and if they could knock you off, they feel like

244
00:12:41,160 --> 00:12:44,760
Speaker 2: maybe they've got some chance to try to retain their majority.

245
00:12:45,160 --> 00:12:48,960
Speaker 2: So this is a nationalized play. Really, it's not about Texas.

246
00:12:49,280 --> 00:12:52,080
Speaker 2: It's about a desperate ploy to try to retain the

247
00:12:52,160 --> 00:12:55,360
Speaker 2: Senate in a larger national context on the map. Is

248
00:12:55,360 --> 00:12:57,439
Speaker 2: that what you think a lot of this money is

249
00:12:57,480 --> 00:12:58,120
Speaker 2: motivated by.

250
00:12:58,960 --> 00:13:02,280
Speaker 9: I think that's absolutely right. And look, let's break it

251
00:13:02,360 --> 00:13:05,760
Speaker 9: down in different options that can happen anyone in business

252
00:13:05,840 --> 00:13:08,680
Speaker 9: or life. You think about best case scenario, worst case scenario.

253
00:13:08,679 --> 00:13:11,600
Speaker 9: You try to give probabilities. All of us hope we

254
00:13:11,640 --> 00:13:16,000
Speaker 9: have a fantastic election in November. We hope that Donald

255
00:13:16,040 --> 00:13:18,240
Speaker 9: Trump is re elected as president, that we win a

256
00:13:18,240 --> 00:13:21,200
Speaker 9: Republican senative, Republican House. That would be very very good.

257
00:13:21,920 --> 00:13:23,719
Speaker 9: A lot of good would come of it. We will

258
00:13:23,760 --> 00:13:26,280
Speaker 9: secure the border, we will cut taxes, we will end

259
00:13:26,320 --> 00:13:29,360
Speaker 9: the war on energy, we will bring down inflation, we

260
00:13:29,400 --> 00:13:32,520
Speaker 9: will end the wars abroad, Israel will defeat Hamas. There's

261
00:13:32,520 --> 00:13:35,040
Speaker 9: a lot of good that will come of that. But

262
00:13:35,320 --> 00:13:37,280
Speaker 9: on the other hand, it might be a bad election.

263
00:13:37,559 --> 00:13:40,439
Speaker 9: The numbers are close enough. It could be if God forbid,

264
00:13:41,240 --> 00:13:44,880
Speaker 9: Kamala Harris wins. I think it is likely that the

265
00:13:44,960 --> 00:13:49,440
Speaker 9: Democrats also will win the House. In my judgment, the

266
00:13:49,480 --> 00:13:52,559
Speaker 9: White House and the House of Representatives are positively correlated.

267
00:13:52,559 --> 00:13:53,400
Speaker 8: They're going to go together.

268
00:13:54,400 --> 00:13:57,040
Speaker 9: If the Democrats win both the White House and the House,

269
00:13:58,040 --> 00:14:01,080
Speaker 9: then the Senate becomes orders of magnitude more important. It

270
00:14:01,120 --> 00:14:03,960
Speaker 9: is the only check and balance to stop the country

271
00:14:04,320 --> 00:14:06,840
Speaker 9: from plunging over the cliff. And you laid out the

272
00:14:06,840 --> 00:14:09,679
Speaker 9: math exactly right. Today the Democrats have a fifty one

273
00:14:09,679 --> 00:14:12,600
Speaker 9: to forty nine majority in the Senate. We're going to

274
00:14:12,679 --> 00:14:15,400
Speaker 9: win West Virginia. The Democrats have essentially conceded it, so

275
00:14:15,480 --> 00:14:18,360
Speaker 9: that takes it to fifty to fifty and right now

276
00:14:18,400 --> 00:14:22,080
Speaker 9: we are leading in Montana by four to six points.

277
00:14:22,520 --> 00:14:25,320
Speaker 9: If we win West Virginia and Montana, the Republicans have

278
00:14:25,360 --> 00:14:28,760
Speaker 9: a fifty one forty nine majority. Now Chuck Schumer's looking

279
00:14:28,800 --> 00:14:31,760
Speaker 9: at those identical poll numbers and he realizes the same thing.

280
00:14:32,200 --> 00:14:34,720
Speaker 9: If he wants to stop it. There's only one place

281
00:14:34,760 --> 00:14:36,880
Speaker 9: he has a prayer to do that, and that is Texas.

282
00:14:37,400 --> 00:14:40,400
Speaker 9: And the last time I ran in twenty eighteen, I

283
00:14:40,440 --> 00:14:42,560
Speaker 9: won by less than three points. I won by two

284
00:14:42,600 --> 00:14:46,120
Speaker 9: point six percent. So Schumer's saying, look, all I need

285
00:14:46,200 --> 00:14:49,480
Speaker 9: is three points in Texas. And if he flips Texas,

286
00:14:50,160 --> 00:14:52,920
Speaker 9: he holds onto the majority. And let me tell you guys,

287
00:14:52,960 --> 00:14:57,960
Speaker 9: what happens there, because it is truly terrifying. If Schumer

288
00:14:58,040 --> 00:15:00,480
Speaker 9: gets the majority with a Democrat House, in a Democrat

289
00:15:00,480 --> 00:15:03,560
Speaker 9: white House, Collin all Read has pledged to be the

290
00:15:03,640 --> 00:15:06,600
Speaker 9: fiftieth vote to end the filibuster. The philibuster is the

291
00:15:06,600 --> 00:15:10,640
Speaker 9: requirement of sixty votes to take up major legislation. If

292
00:15:10,640 --> 00:15:12,720
Speaker 9: that happens, let me tell you what January of next

293
00:15:12,800 --> 00:15:14,880
Speaker 9: year looks like. The first thing Schumer does is nd

294
00:15:14,880 --> 00:15:18,280
Speaker 9: the filibuster. He then does four things in rapid succession.

295
00:15:18,920 --> 00:15:21,840
Speaker 9: He strikes down every voter integrity law in the country,

296
00:15:21,880 --> 00:15:24,000
Speaker 9: strikes down every photo ID law in the country, and

297
00:15:24,000 --> 00:15:27,400
Speaker 9: he legalizes ballot harvesting everywhere in the country. Number one.

298
00:15:27,880 --> 00:15:31,280
Speaker 9: Number two, he adds two new states, DC and Puerto Rico.

299
00:15:31,360 --> 00:15:33,760
Speaker 9: He would do that because he believes that gives him

300
00:15:33,760 --> 00:15:37,360
Speaker 9: four new Democrat senators. Number three, he would give immediate

301
00:15:37,440 --> 00:15:40,880
Speaker 9: voting rights to every illegal alien in America. They're twenty

302
00:15:40,880 --> 00:15:43,520
Speaker 9: to thirty million illegal aliens in America. If he does that,

303
00:15:43,760 --> 00:15:48,360
Speaker 9: Texas immediately turns blue and every statewide elected official in

304
00:15:48,440 --> 00:15:52,880
Speaker 9: Texas is defeated. Texas becomes California. And number four, he

305
00:15:52,920 --> 00:15:56,560
Speaker 9: would pack the Supreme Court, grow it from nine justices

306
00:15:56,600 --> 00:15:59,960
Speaker 9: to thirteen, and put four left wing justices. Now, God,

307
00:16:00,240 --> 00:16:02,840
Speaker 9: both of you have known you a long time. I am,

308
00:16:02,880 --> 00:16:07,200
Speaker 9: by nature an optimist. I have no answer to that scenario.

309
00:16:07,840 --> 00:16:12,120
Speaker 9: I view that scenario as a system ending event in history.

310
00:16:12,440 --> 00:16:15,720
Speaker 9: Great nations rise and fall. That would be I believe,

311
00:16:15,800 --> 00:16:17,840
Speaker 9: the end of the United States of America as we

312
00:16:17,880 --> 00:16:21,119
Speaker 9: know it. And what is terrifying is we are literally

313
00:16:21,280 --> 00:16:24,360
Speaker 9: one vote away. Those are the stakes of my race.

314
00:16:24,400 --> 00:16:26,760
Speaker 9: And that's why I would ask folks to go to

315
00:16:26,840 --> 00:16:30,040
Speaker 9: Ted Cruz dot org right now and ensure that we

316
00:16:30,160 --> 00:16:32,280
Speaker 9: don't lose and we don't go off the edge of

317
00:16:32,280 --> 00:16:32,800
Speaker 9: that cliff.

318
00:16:33,480 --> 00:16:36,560
Speaker 1: Amen, we have so many of you listening in Texas

319
00:16:36,640 --> 00:16:39,480
Speaker 1: right now. You gotta go out and vote. Do not

320
00:16:39,640 --> 00:16:41,680
Speaker 1: sleep on this. Think of all the money they're putting

321
00:16:41,680 --> 00:16:43,640
Speaker 1: into this think of what Ted has just put out

322
00:16:43,640 --> 00:16:46,720
Speaker 1: there as the future if they pull off this upset

323
00:16:46,800 --> 00:16:50,080
Speaker 1: through really trickery and treachery. But that's what the Democrats

324
00:16:50,120 --> 00:16:53,520
Speaker 1: excel at Ted Cruz dot Org and all of our

325
00:16:53,560 --> 00:16:56,160
Speaker 1: Texans and we got a lot of you. Get out

326
00:16:56,160 --> 00:16:58,520
Speaker 1: there and vote Ted. Thank you so much, Center Cruise

327
00:16:58,520 --> 00:16:59,840
Speaker 1: always appreciate you being with us.

328
00:17:00,440 --> 00:17:01,160
Speaker 9: Thank you, gentlemen.

329
00:17:01,200 --> 00:17:01,680
Speaker 10: Gud Less.

330
00:17:03,280 --> 00:17:07,359
Speaker 11: If you're listening to twenty four the Year of Impact

331
00:17:07,600 --> 00:17:08,879
Speaker 11: with Clay and Buck.

332
00:17:10,920 --> 00:17:15,159
Speaker 2: As many of you know, the state of Wisconsin is

333
00:17:15,200 --> 00:17:20,640
Speaker 2: going to be absolutely massive, not only in the presidential race,

334
00:17:20,680 --> 00:17:24,359
Speaker 2: but also in battle for control of the United States Senate.

335
00:17:25,080 --> 00:17:26,640
Speaker 2: I told you we were going to be joined by

336
00:17:26,880 --> 00:17:30,600
Speaker 2: Eric Hubdy, who is the candidate right now taking on

337
00:17:32,400 --> 00:17:36,919
Speaker 2: a long time Wisconsin senator that actually spends a lot

338
00:17:36,960 --> 00:17:40,080
Speaker 2: of her time in New York City and isn't actually

339
00:17:40,800 --> 00:17:43,440
Speaker 2: very well connected with the state. And I think that's

340
00:17:43,440 --> 00:17:45,800
Speaker 2: starting to register with a lot of people. Her name

341
00:17:45,880 --> 00:17:48,080
Speaker 2: is Tammy Baldwin, but the man we believe is going

342
00:17:48,119 --> 00:17:50,840
Speaker 2: to beat her is Eric Cobdy, and he is with us.

343
00:17:50,880 --> 00:17:54,720
Speaker 2: Now what first of all, great momentum for your campaign

344
00:17:54,760 --> 00:17:58,240
Speaker 2: as we sit here nineteen days out from election day.

345
00:17:58,800 --> 00:18:02,359
Speaker 2: What are you seeing on the what are your polls saying?

346
00:18:02,840 --> 00:18:05,520
Speaker 2: How do you think Wisconsin is going to shake out?

347
00:18:06,600 --> 00:18:08,600
Speaker 8: Well, we just had our first poll that had us

348
00:18:08,680 --> 00:18:11,800
Speaker 8: up by one point, which is fantastic news. If you

349
00:18:11,920 --> 00:18:16,000
Speaker 8: drive throughout our state, you will see ten to twenty

350
00:18:16,080 --> 00:18:20,720
Speaker 8: to one Hubd signs versus Baldwin signs. The same thing

351
00:18:20,800 --> 00:18:25,440
Speaker 8: for President Trump as for Harris. The momentum is clearly

352
00:18:25,520 --> 00:18:29,200
Speaker 8: on our side in saying that in politics, you still

353
00:18:29,200 --> 00:18:32,600
Speaker 8: got nineteen days and well that's a very short amount

354
00:18:32,600 --> 00:18:35,480
Speaker 8: of time. It can still be a lifetime in politics.

355
00:18:35,480 --> 00:18:39,320
Speaker 8: And we've seen the swings back and forth between President

356
00:18:39,320 --> 00:18:42,879
Speaker 8: Trump and Harris. Mine has been steadily increasing. So I

357
00:18:42,920 --> 00:18:45,760
Speaker 8: really feel good about the momentum. But you know, look,

358
00:18:45,960 --> 00:18:50,040
Speaker 8: they're launching attack ads every day, dumping so much money

359
00:18:50,080 --> 00:18:52,240
Speaker 8: in our state. They have a new one claiming I

360
00:18:52,280 --> 00:18:57,000
Speaker 8: want to cut social Security, Medicare, everything. It's just crazy.

361
00:18:57,160 --> 00:19:00,240
Speaker 8: They have no basis to say that. But it's almost

362
00:19:00,240 --> 00:19:04,040
Speaker 8: impossible to get false ads ran, So they're just doing

363
00:19:04,119 --> 00:19:06,800
Speaker 8: the same thing that they always do. They try to

364
00:19:06,840 --> 00:19:10,160
Speaker 8: scare old people. They're saying that I support a national

365
00:19:10,240 --> 00:19:14,280
Speaker 8: abortion band, which I don't and trying to get people

366
00:19:14,280 --> 00:19:17,040
Speaker 8: to hate me. So I'm staying on the issues. Just

367
00:19:17,200 --> 00:19:20,760
Speaker 8: keep charging. But you know it's going to be a

368
00:19:20,800 --> 00:19:24,080
Speaker 8: battle right to the final finish line. So I feel

369
00:19:24,119 --> 00:19:25,920
Speaker 8: good and I plan to win this Dame thing.

370
00:19:26,600 --> 00:19:30,200
Speaker 1: We want to mobilize all of our listeners, especially WISN

371
00:19:30,640 --> 00:19:34,119
Speaker 1: in Milwaukee and Wisconsin, to get out there vote early.

372
00:19:34,520 --> 00:19:36,000
Speaker 5: When does your early voting start?

373
00:19:36,440 --> 00:19:41,280
Speaker 8: Eric on the twenty second, So that's next Tuesday. Now

374
00:19:41,320 --> 00:19:45,480
Speaker 8: mail and voting has already started, but you can show

375
00:19:45,600 --> 00:19:49,480
Speaker 8: up early on the twenty second. So we need to

376
00:19:49,520 --> 00:19:53,080
Speaker 8: have people get out and vote. And most importantly, grab

377
00:19:53,119 --> 00:19:57,560
Speaker 8: your friend, grab your neighbor, grab your colleague, somebody you

378
00:19:57,640 --> 00:20:00,399
Speaker 8: go to church with. We need to get every buddy

379
00:20:00,400 --> 00:20:03,480
Speaker 8: out voting. I mean that is so essential to this race.

380
00:20:03,520 --> 00:20:06,119
Speaker 8: And if you got a few dollars, please send him

381
00:20:06,160 --> 00:20:09,439
Speaker 8: my way, because I didn't take special interest money. She

382
00:20:09,600 --> 00:20:12,359
Speaker 8: takes money as your reference. She lives pretty much in

383
00:20:12,400 --> 00:20:16,720
Speaker 8: New York. She her partner is a Wall Street executive,

384
00:20:16,760 --> 00:20:19,680
Speaker 8: and she actual has ran against Wall Street and wealth

385
00:20:19,680 --> 00:20:23,040
Speaker 8: inequality and the wealthy need to pay their fair share.

386
00:20:23,080 --> 00:20:27,119
Speaker 8: And her partner is designs tax schemes for the uber wealthy.

387
00:20:28,200 --> 00:20:32,560
Speaker 8: So she's just a complete hypocrite. So she's taken money

388
00:20:32,600 --> 00:20:35,439
Speaker 8: from Wall Street, big pharm Up, big tech. So I

389
00:20:35,520 --> 00:20:37,600
Speaker 8: need to rely on, you know, the people of Wisconsin.

390
00:20:37,680 --> 00:20:40,040
Speaker 8: So if you got a few bucks under Eric Hubby

391
00:20:40,119 --> 00:20:41,040
Speaker 8: dot com.

392
00:20:41,240 --> 00:20:44,720
Speaker 1: And you know the opening salvo from Brett Baar yesterday,

393
00:20:44,840 --> 00:20:46,240
Speaker 1: I should just say the opening questions.

394
00:20:46,240 --> 00:20:47,440
Speaker 5: I thought it was a very fair question.

395
00:20:48,080 --> 00:20:50,600
Speaker 1: But the first thing that he got into was immigration,

396
00:20:51,160 --> 00:20:53,680
Speaker 1: and clearly, I mean Eric, I'm sure you saw that interview.

397
00:20:54,480 --> 00:20:57,520
Speaker 1: Very big soft spot for Democrats right now. They know

398
00:20:57,640 --> 00:21:01,160
Speaker 1: the country's not with them on this. How is Senator

399
00:21:01,400 --> 00:21:04,560
Speaker 1: incumbent Tommy Baldwin on immigration?

400
00:21:06,280 --> 00:21:09,919
Speaker 8: Oh, she's horrible. She said we spend too much money

401
00:21:09,920 --> 00:21:13,600
Speaker 8: securing our southern border. She's voted for every one of

402
00:21:13,640 --> 00:21:19,200
Speaker 8: the crazy bills that Joe Biden has to weaken our

403
00:21:19,200 --> 00:21:23,200
Speaker 8: southern border. She's such a hypocrite. She tried to take

404
00:21:23,320 --> 00:21:27,720
Speaker 8: credit for Tim Scott, a Republican Senator from South Carolina

405
00:21:27,840 --> 00:21:30,400
Speaker 8: spent NOL bill because she has done nothing, and yet

406
00:21:30,440 --> 00:21:32,680
Speaker 8: we're losing you know what, one hundred and eight thousand

407
00:21:32,800 --> 00:21:36,159
Speaker 8: americans last year, one hundred and twelve thousand americans the

408
00:21:36,240 --> 00:21:39,879
Speaker 8: year before, to this poison that comes out of China,

409
00:21:39,960 --> 00:21:42,159
Speaker 8: goes to the drug cartels and brought up over our

410
00:21:42,200 --> 00:21:46,560
Speaker 8: southern border. So she has been horrific on this. She's

411
00:21:46,720 --> 00:21:51,600
Speaker 8: supported giving cash to illegal immigrants while our veterans are struggling.

412
00:21:51,720 --> 00:21:55,000
Speaker 8: I mean, everything she stands for. She's about as far

413
00:21:55,040 --> 00:21:58,440
Speaker 8: progressive left as you can think of. Think of Bernie Sanders,

414
00:21:58,480 --> 00:22:00,359
Speaker 8: Elizabeth Warren, That's who's she is.

415
00:22:01,280 --> 00:22:04,480
Speaker 2: The first time that many people started paying attention to

416
00:22:04,560 --> 00:22:07,679
Speaker 2: your race nationally that I saw, and I'm curious if

417
00:22:07,680 --> 00:22:10,480
Speaker 2: this would square with you, was when the Wall Street

418
00:22:10,560 --> 00:22:14,960
Speaker 2: Journal had a big article saying, Hey, Tammy Baldwin's internals

419
00:22:15,000 --> 00:22:18,680
Speaker 2: have Trump leading Kamala by a couple of points in Wisconsin,

420
00:22:19,200 --> 00:22:21,480
Speaker 2: and she's only up a couple of points in her

421
00:22:21,560 --> 00:22:24,960
Speaker 2: internals on you. I believe that was a couple of

422
00:22:25,000 --> 00:22:29,080
Speaker 2: weeks ago. There are now reports that Kamala one of

423
00:22:29,119 --> 00:22:33,320
Speaker 2: our friends at Milwaukee Station are reporting that Kamala has

424
00:22:33,400 --> 00:22:37,879
Speaker 2: dialed back her spending on radio and television in the

425
00:22:37,920 --> 00:22:40,919
Speaker 2: state of Wisconsin, almost an idea that she may be

426
00:22:41,080 --> 00:22:44,119
Speaker 2: thinking Trump's going to win that state. What are you

427
00:22:44,280 --> 00:22:47,520
Speaker 2: seeing in terms of dollars? I know the national Republicans

428
00:22:47,560 --> 00:22:50,760
Speaker 2: have poured money in with you now and you've helped

429
00:22:50,760 --> 00:22:53,840
Speaker 2: self fund this campaign yourself. But what are you seeing

430
00:22:53,880 --> 00:22:57,000
Speaker 2: on the Trump front as well, Kamala? And how connected

431
00:22:57,200 --> 00:23:00,640
Speaker 2: you think the results are for Trump versus is Kamala

432
00:23:00,760 --> 00:23:02,400
Speaker 2: to you versus Tammy Baldwin?

433
00:23:02,440 --> 00:23:03,840
Speaker 4: What is your polling showing there?

434
00:23:05,200 --> 00:23:06,959
Speaker 8: Look, as I said, we just had a poll that

435
00:23:07,080 --> 00:23:12,800
Speaker 8: had me up one. President Trump has always underpolled in Wisconsin,

436
00:23:13,080 --> 00:23:17,199
Speaker 8: both in sixteen significantly and in twenty. I think we

437
00:23:17,359 --> 00:23:20,439
Speaker 8: under poll for President Trump worse than any other state

438
00:23:21,200 --> 00:23:26,000
Speaker 8: because if you're a Republican in Dane County, the belly

439
00:23:26,080 --> 00:23:29,800
Speaker 8: is the progressive beast. You're not gonna say, yeah, I'm

440
00:23:29,880 --> 00:23:32,240
Speaker 8: voting for President Trump if somebody you don't know calls

441
00:23:32,280 --> 00:23:35,440
Speaker 8: you on the phone or text your phone. So I

442
00:23:35,480 --> 00:23:38,000
Speaker 8: think President Trump is going to win the state. If

443
00:23:38,000 --> 00:23:41,560
Speaker 8: he wins the state, unless they can pick off North Carolina,

444
00:23:41,960 --> 00:23:44,119
Speaker 8: I don't see how they win. I think they're going

445
00:23:44,200 --> 00:23:47,200
Speaker 8: to come back with money. I do think they're going

446
00:23:47,240 --> 00:23:50,439
Speaker 8: to come in on my Senate race. They're spending money

447
00:23:50,480 --> 00:23:54,160
Speaker 8: hand over fifth trying to hit me. I mean, truck

448
00:23:54,200 --> 00:23:58,920
Speaker 8: Schumer just launched another big spend against me. So yeah,

449
00:23:59,640 --> 00:24:03,560
Speaker 8: it's a ad lit resources and it's going to go

450
00:24:03,600 --> 00:24:07,320
Speaker 8: down to the wire. But if President Trump wins Wisconsin, Marina,

451
00:24:07,400 --> 00:24:12,879
Speaker 8: North Carolina, it's really hard to see them win. You know,

452
00:24:13,600 --> 00:24:16,760
Speaker 8: maybe there's something else that happens in Georgia, but I

453
00:24:16,800 --> 00:24:19,359
Speaker 8: have find it hard to believe that President Trump's not

454
00:24:19,359 --> 00:24:23,080
Speaker 8: going to win Georgia. So Wisconsin is ground zero. That's

455
00:24:23,119 --> 00:24:25,920
Speaker 8: why you know they're in this, both President Trump and

456
00:24:25,960 --> 00:24:30,000
Speaker 8: Kamala Harris. Kamala Harris is I think here today right now,

457
00:24:31,040 --> 00:24:33,200
Speaker 8: and she's just been here. It was her first stop

458
00:24:33,200 --> 00:24:36,840
Speaker 8: when she became the presidential nominee, and it was her

459
00:24:36,920 --> 00:24:40,080
Speaker 8: third stop. That tells you how important Wisconsin is. This

460
00:24:40,200 --> 00:24:42,879
Speaker 8: whole thing is could be decided by our state.

461
00:24:43,240 --> 00:24:43,680
Speaker 4: No doubt.

462
00:24:43,760 --> 00:24:46,760
Speaker 2: And Senator Ron Johnson, who you know well, reached out

463
00:24:46,800 --> 00:24:49,920
Speaker 2: to us and said he wanted to come in because

464
00:24:49,960 --> 00:24:52,439
Speaker 2: he wants to drive the momentum for you because he

465
00:24:52,600 --> 00:24:55,280
Speaker 2: feels like you're going to win this race and he

466
00:24:55,400 --> 00:24:57,960
Speaker 2: knows how to win in close racism Wisconsin.

467
00:24:58,520 --> 00:25:00,000
Speaker 4: What are you hearing from him?

468
00:25:00,200 --> 00:25:02,639
Speaker 2: He came on and saying, your praises in the campaign

469
00:25:02,960 --> 00:25:05,959
Speaker 2: that you need to do over the next nineteen days

470
00:25:06,040 --> 00:25:07,120
Speaker 2: to get this race one.

471
00:25:08,800 --> 00:25:11,640
Speaker 8: Look, I've been running from morning tonight every single day.

472
00:25:12,400 --> 00:25:15,720
Speaker 8: You know, I've wrapped up every night ten ten thirty,

473
00:25:16,320 --> 00:25:18,680
Speaker 8: get up early and just go. And I'm going to

474
00:25:18,720 --> 00:25:23,560
Speaker 8: continue to do that. She barely interacts with the press.

475
00:25:23,600 --> 00:25:26,840
Speaker 8: You know, she's non existent. You could say she only

476
00:25:26,880 --> 00:25:30,280
Speaker 8: does very staged events. I'm only getting one debate and

477
00:25:30,320 --> 00:25:32,920
Speaker 8: that's tomorrow night, and I can't wait. So I really

478
00:25:33,000 --> 00:25:36,800
Speaker 8: look forward to doing that and hammering her. But you know,

479
00:25:36,920 --> 00:25:39,960
Speaker 8: one hour, one debate for one hour, and as you know,

480
00:25:40,280 --> 00:25:43,240
Speaker 8: I'll be ended up debating the journalists more than I'll

481
00:25:43,320 --> 00:25:46,960
Speaker 8: end up debating her. But it's just continuing to stay

482
00:25:46,960 --> 00:25:50,840
Speaker 8: on message, hammering the message out there and getting the

483
00:25:50,880 --> 00:25:53,919
Speaker 8: resources to drive the message, because that's what it's going

484
00:25:53,960 --> 00:25:54,520
Speaker 8: to come down to.

485
00:25:55,280 --> 00:25:57,760
Speaker 1: Can you give us a preview? We're speaking to Eric Hovdy. Eric,

486
00:25:57,760 --> 00:25:59,920
Speaker 1: what is your site so that people who want to

487
00:26:00,200 --> 00:26:02,959
Speaker 1: in and help in this critical race can can do so?

488
00:26:04,320 --> 00:26:09,520
Speaker 8: Sure? Eric, E. R I C. H O V dee

489
00:26:09,840 --> 00:26:12,199
Speaker 8: of d erichovd dot com.

490
00:26:13,240 --> 00:26:16,080
Speaker 1: Whatever you can spare folks, this is a critical Senate

491
00:26:16,160 --> 00:26:18,240
Speaker 1: race and and I want to.

492
00:26:18,200 --> 00:26:22,120
Speaker 5: Know if you could give us a preview of what.

493
00:26:22,040 --> 00:26:24,840
Speaker 1: You're going to say tomorrow is it tonight the debate

494
00:26:26,080 --> 00:26:28,800
Speaker 1: tomorrow night, tomorrow night, sorry, tomorrow night.

495
00:26:28,840 --> 00:26:30,199
Speaker 5: What you're going to say?

496
00:26:30,520 --> 00:26:32,920
Speaker 1: And then I'm sure you can tell us what she's

497
00:26:32,960 --> 00:26:36,040
Speaker 1: going to say in response, how she's going to evade Perry,

498
00:26:36,119 --> 00:26:39,159
Speaker 1: whatever it may be. What's your debate preview? Because I

499
00:26:39,200 --> 00:26:40,639
Speaker 1: have a said, I have a feeling you're you're a

500
00:26:40,720 --> 00:26:43,320
Speaker 1: very sharp guy. Eric, It's not going to surprise you

501
00:26:43,359 --> 00:26:43,640
Speaker 1: at all.

502
00:26:45,920 --> 00:26:45,960
Speaker 12: No.

503
00:26:46,200 --> 00:26:48,800
Speaker 8: Look, I'm going to drive the issues that matter. A

504
00:26:48,800 --> 00:26:51,040
Speaker 8: lot of it's going to be responding to the questions

505
00:26:51,080 --> 00:26:53,200
Speaker 8: because it's not like a good old fashioned debate where

506
00:26:53,200 --> 00:26:55,679
Speaker 8: you two people get to just sit there and debate

507
00:26:55,920 --> 00:26:58,200
Speaker 8: with each other. So I'm going to have to address

508
00:26:58,240 --> 00:27:01,560
Speaker 8: the questions that are being propered by the journalists. But look,

509
00:27:01,840 --> 00:27:05,000
Speaker 8: what's the most important issues. It's the economy and the

510
00:27:05,000 --> 00:27:07,800
Speaker 8: destruction that they've done to our economy with inflation. It's

511
00:27:07,840 --> 00:27:11,679
Speaker 8: the open border, It's our healthcare crisis that we have

512
00:27:11,800 --> 00:27:18,040
Speaker 8: in this country right now. It's a lack of affordable housing.

513
00:27:18,440 --> 00:27:22,879
Speaker 8: It's issues like crime. Milwaukee has become, you know, an

514
00:27:22,960 --> 00:27:26,439
Speaker 8: epicenter of crime, which is really unfortunate. So I'm going

515
00:27:26,480 --> 00:27:30,199
Speaker 8: to drive that as it pertains to her, it'll just

516
00:27:30,280 --> 00:27:35,159
Speaker 8: be a mush of you know, talking in platitudes and

517
00:27:35,240 --> 00:27:39,240
Speaker 8: not really saying anything substantial. Substantial she was going to

518
00:27:39,280 --> 00:27:41,800
Speaker 8: try to run from her record at every single time.

519
00:27:42,520 --> 00:27:45,359
Speaker 8: I think her plan is just to try to do

520
00:27:45,400 --> 00:27:49,040
Speaker 8: what Kamala Harris did, you know, try to get out

521
00:27:49,040 --> 00:27:55,240
Speaker 8: of there and and meander on without really addressing any

522
00:27:55,280 --> 00:27:56,399
Speaker 8: of the questions.

523
00:27:58,040 --> 00:28:00,720
Speaker 2: Give us that website one more time, because we want

524
00:28:00,720 --> 00:28:03,560
Speaker 2: to make sure that we got a monster audience in Wisconsin.

525
00:28:03,640 --> 00:28:06,160
Speaker 2: We know people are fired up for voting for you.

526
00:28:06,200 --> 00:28:09,600
Speaker 2: But to your point, Wisconsin has the ability to not

527
00:28:09,760 --> 00:28:13,960
Speaker 2: just pick control of the Senate, but also to control

528
00:28:14,000 --> 00:28:18,840
Speaker 2: who is the president of the United States. And things

529
00:28:18,920 --> 00:28:21,440
Speaker 2: are looking really good as we sit nineteen days out.

530
00:28:21,440 --> 00:28:22,800
Speaker 2: But how can people help.

531
00:28:25,119 --> 00:28:29,000
Speaker 8: Eric Huvedy dot com, I'd really appreciate any kind of

532
00:28:29,040 --> 00:28:32,760
Speaker 8: financial support Again, anybody in Wisconsin, or if you don't

533
00:28:32,800 --> 00:28:36,359
Speaker 8: live in Wisconsin, you know, people call your friends, talk

534
00:28:36,400 --> 00:28:39,560
Speaker 8: to your neighbors, your family members. We got to get

535
00:28:39,600 --> 00:28:43,320
Speaker 8: them out to vote, because look, if we don't take

536
00:28:43,360 --> 00:28:45,680
Speaker 8: control of the Senates, not just for the next to

537
00:28:45,720 --> 00:28:49,400
Speaker 8: the next four years, what they can do if somehow

538
00:28:49,440 --> 00:28:52,000
Speaker 8: Kamala Harris Wins, I mean Center Baldewint wants to get

539
00:28:52,080 --> 00:28:55,840
Speaker 8: rid of the filibuster. They want to turn you DC

540
00:28:56,120 --> 00:29:00,440
Speaker 8: and Puerto Rico into state. They want to allow illegal

541
00:29:00,480 --> 00:29:03,720
Speaker 8: immigrants to vote. We won't recognize our country. I mean,

542
00:29:03,720 --> 00:29:08,360
Speaker 8: this is the most important election. So I appreciate everybody's support.

543
00:29:09,120 --> 00:29:11,400
Speaker 8: I promise you I'm gonna run as hard all the

544
00:29:11,440 --> 00:29:14,240
Speaker 8: way to the finish line. But I can't do it

545
00:29:14,280 --> 00:29:17,640
Speaker 8: without everybody's help. So thank you everybody. I really appreciate it.

546
00:29:18,000 --> 00:29:20,160
Speaker 2: Last question for you, this may be the most important

547
00:29:20,160 --> 00:29:23,000
Speaker 2: thing in Wisconsin right now. Who are you more optimistic

548
00:29:23,040 --> 00:29:25,880
Speaker 2: on the Wisconsin Badgers or the Green Bay Packers right now?

549
00:29:27,880 --> 00:29:31,680
Speaker 8: Ah, the Packers, now that Jordan loves getting in the groove,

550
00:29:31,880 --> 00:29:34,600
Speaker 8: you know, it's unfortunately got hurt at the final game

551
00:29:34,880 --> 00:29:37,640
Speaker 8: play of the game against the Eagles and then he

552
00:29:37,800 --> 00:29:39,680
Speaker 8: was out for two games. Then it took him a

553
00:29:39,760 --> 00:29:41,680
Speaker 8: while to get back in the group. But man, their

554
00:29:41,720 --> 00:29:44,280
Speaker 8: offense is starting to look really good. So I think

555
00:29:44,280 --> 00:29:46,240
Speaker 8: the Packers will be back to being one of the

556
00:29:46,280 --> 00:29:49,520
Speaker 8: three teams in the NFC that we'll be competing for

557
00:29:49,600 --> 00:29:52,200
Speaker 8: the Super Bowl. So I like the Badgers too. They're

558
00:29:52,240 --> 00:29:55,600
Speaker 8: looking a lot better, but go Badgers and go Pack Go.

559
00:29:56,560 --> 00:29:59,720
Speaker 2: That's a good answer from Wisconsin's next Senator Buck.

560
00:30:00,600 --> 00:30:01,800
Speaker 5: I also like with Eric.

561
00:30:02,000 --> 00:30:04,080
Speaker 1: You know he's from Wisconsin. You know what I'm saying.

562
00:30:04,600 --> 00:30:09,200
Speaker 1: There's no offens or butts. This is a guy who sounds, eat, sleeps,

563
00:30:09,280 --> 00:30:10,640
Speaker 1: breaths Wisconsin.

564
00:30:10,800 --> 00:30:12,600
Speaker 5: Thank you, Eric, I appreciate you being with us.

565
00:30:14,280 --> 00:30:16,480
Speaker 8: Guys. All right, everybody have a wonderful day.

566
00:30:17,240 --> 00:30:21,000
Speaker 1: Absolutely, guys, get out there vote early Wisconsin. Literally, we

567
00:30:21,320 --> 00:30:24,240
Speaker 1: got a couple of sports arenas worth of people listening

568
00:30:24,320 --> 00:30:25,680
Speaker 1: right now in that state.

569
00:30:25,840 --> 00:30:28,600
Speaker 2: So yes, you guys can decide it right now just

570
00:30:28,680 --> 00:30:29,600
Speaker 2: listening to you.

571
00:30:30,160 --> 00:30:32,560
Speaker 1: Have have gone and voted early? How many of you

572
00:30:32,560 --> 00:30:33,840
Speaker 1: have sent in your ballots already?

573
00:30:33,920 --> 00:30:40,280
Speaker 3: Get on it, please, you're listening to twenty four the

574
00:30:40,440 --> 00:30:45,040
Speaker 3: most Important tier in politics with Clay travisand Box Sexton.

575
00:30:47,000 --> 00:30:50,120
Speaker 1: Harry Lake is with us now. She's running for Senate

576
00:30:50,280 --> 00:30:52,800
Speaker 1: in Arizona against Reuben Diegoes.

577
00:30:52,840 --> 00:30:53,080
Speaker 13: Carrie.

578
00:30:53,120 --> 00:30:54,720
Speaker 5: It's been a bit good to have you back on

579
00:30:54,760 --> 00:30:55,440
Speaker 5: the program.

580
00:30:55,880 --> 00:30:58,480
Speaker 1: We haven't been talking much about Arizona just because it's

581
00:30:58,480 --> 00:31:00,600
Speaker 1: not getting the same levels of A ten some of

582
00:31:00,600 --> 00:31:03,920
Speaker 1: the other swing states, battleground states. Whatever you want to

583
00:31:03,960 --> 00:31:05,880
Speaker 1: call it. So, can you just bring us up to

584
00:31:05,920 --> 00:31:09,120
Speaker 1: speed your race and Arizona more broadly, what's it looking

585
00:31:09,160 --> 00:31:09,760
Speaker 1: like right now?

586
00:31:10,800 --> 00:31:13,080
Speaker 14: Well, you need to start talking about it because it's

587
00:31:13,080 --> 00:31:16,440
Speaker 14: an important state. It is a battleground. President Trump is

588
00:31:16,480 --> 00:31:20,120
Speaker 14: climbing in the polls. We are as well. My internal

589
00:31:20,160 --> 00:31:23,840
Speaker 14: polling has consistently showed this me up a little bit.

590
00:31:23,880 --> 00:31:25,080
Speaker 6: But it's really.

591
00:31:24,840 --> 00:31:27,120
Speaker 14: Neck and neck between me and my opponent, and we're

592
00:31:27,120 --> 00:31:29,600
Speaker 14: finding out just so much of what my opponent has

593
00:31:29,680 --> 00:31:33,680
Speaker 14: said have been abject lies. We've watched as for ten years.

594
00:31:33,720 --> 00:31:36,800
Speaker 14: He's voted against the people of Arizona. He's voted to

595
00:31:36,840 --> 00:31:40,120
Speaker 14: have the borders wide open, to send federal dollars to

596
00:31:40,360 --> 00:31:41,840
Speaker 14: sanctuary cities and states.

597
00:31:41,880 --> 00:31:43,960
Speaker 6: He actually was the co sponsor.

598
00:31:43,560 --> 00:31:46,239
Speaker 14: Of the George Floyd legislation and wanted to get rid

599
00:31:46,280 --> 00:31:48,240
Speaker 14: of the filibuster to pass it back in the summer

600
00:31:48,280 --> 00:31:52,040
Speaker 14: of twenty twenty. That would have defunded the police nationwide

601
00:31:52,080 --> 00:31:55,200
Speaker 14: and got rid of qualified immunity, that protection that our

602
00:31:55,240 --> 00:32:00,840
Speaker 14: officers need. He's voted to have boys participate in roles athletics,

603
00:32:00,880 --> 00:32:04,959
Speaker 14: which would, as we know, destroy women's athletics, and has

604
00:32:05,040 --> 00:32:07,680
Speaker 14: voted to have boys, you know share locker rooms and

605
00:32:07,720 --> 00:32:12,200
Speaker 14: bathrooms with our girls. And obviously he's voted for what's

606
00:32:12,200 --> 00:32:15,680
Speaker 14: happening in Ukraine two hundred and sixty billion dollars sent

607
00:32:15,760 --> 00:32:19,240
Speaker 14: over there. Meanwhile, he does not support the border wall

608
00:32:19,360 --> 00:32:21,840
Speaker 14: at all. He's called it the dumb, stupid border wall

609
00:32:22,080 --> 00:32:24,600
Speaker 14: and said he would never ever ever support it. But

610
00:32:24,840 --> 00:32:27,560
Speaker 14: of course, guys, you know how it goes. When we're

611
00:32:27,560 --> 00:32:30,240
Speaker 14: in the heat of an election, and the throes of

612
00:32:30,280 --> 00:32:34,160
Speaker 14: an election, we watch as these radicals change their identity

613
00:32:34,200 --> 00:32:36,240
Speaker 14: and they start to come over and say, oh wait, wait,

614
00:32:36,280 --> 00:32:39,160
Speaker 14: he's moderate, And the truth of the matter is he's not.

615
00:32:39,320 --> 00:32:42,480
Speaker 14: He's voted with Kamala Harris and Joe Biden one hundred

616
00:32:42,560 --> 00:32:45,760
Speaker 14: percent of the time. And we're just now learning. And

617
00:32:46,320 --> 00:32:48,760
Speaker 14: I blame the media for this, Clay and Buck, because

618
00:32:48,760 --> 00:32:51,680
Speaker 14: they have not done any digging into this guy's background.

619
00:32:51,720 --> 00:32:54,040
Speaker 14: They just took what he said and ran with it.

620
00:32:54,200 --> 00:32:57,000
Speaker 14: He said he grew up in a one bedroom apartment,

621
00:32:57,080 --> 00:33:00,520
Speaker 14: slept on the floor until he was eighteen, and his

622
00:33:00,600 --> 00:33:03,120
Speaker 14: father left him when he was eleven.

623
00:33:03,240 --> 00:33:05,320
Speaker 6: The real fact of the matter is none of that's true.

624
00:33:05,320 --> 00:33:08,680
Speaker 14: He grew up in a upper class neighborhood, Evergreen Park,

625
00:33:08,760 --> 00:33:11,920
Speaker 14: in Chicago and a middle class home. His dad was

626
00:33:12,000 --> 00:33:15,440
Speaker 14: a convicted felon Mexican drug trafficker.

627
00:33:16,000 --> 00:33:17,200
Speaker 6: You heard that right.

628
00:33:17,360 --> 00:33:19,320
Speaker 14: Now, you would think if that was your background, you

629
00:33:19,320 --> 00:33:21,440
Speaker 14: would want to go and protect the border and stop

630
00:33:21,480 --> 00:33:25,680
Speaker 14: the cartels from importing fentanyl and all of these dangerous

631
00:33:25,760 --> 00:33:28,000
Speaker 14: drugs and funneling them right through Arizona.

632
00:33:28,480 --> 00:33:30,640
Speaker 6: But instead he's voted every step of the way to.

633
00:33:30,640 --> 00:33:34,720
Speaker 14: Empower the cartels and that has hurt and killed Americans.

634
00:33:34,760 --> 00:33:36,880
Speaker 14: We know hundreds of thousands of people have died from

635
00:33:36,960 --> 00:33:41,719
Speaker 14: fentanyl poisoning since Kamala Harris. The borders are took control

636
00:33:41,760 --> 00:33:44,440
Speaker 14: of the border, and we know that the cartels are

637
00:33:44,560 --> 00:33:48,400
Speaker 14: smuggling all kinds of drugs and trafficking people and drug

638
00:33:48,440 --> 00:33:53,520
Speaker 14: trafficking and sex trafficking children. It's absolutely he's been an

639
00:33:53,560 --> 00:33:56,200
Speaker 14: abject failure, and the people are starting to catch on

640
00:33:56,840 --> 00:33:59,160
Speaker 14: to what he's about. And that's why we're seeing this

641
00:33:59,280 --> 00:34:01,840
Speaker 14: a neck and neck race here in Arizona. And it's

642
00:34:01,840 --> 00:34:03,960
Speaker 14: truly going to be about getting out the vote, which

643
00:34:04,000 --> 00:34:05,520
Speaker 14: we're working on every single day.

644
00:34:06,080 --> 00:34:08,719
Speaker 2: We're talking to Carry Lake and speaking of getting out

645
00:34:08,719 --> 00:34:12,560
Speaker 2: the vote. Carrie, our friend Ryan Gardusky, who does a

646
00:34:12,560 --> 00:34:16,080
Speaker 2: lot of deep dives on the numbers posted on his

647
00:34:16,160 --> 00:34:20,759
Speaker 2: substack that the data out of Arizona is looking fantastic

648
00:34:20,800 --> 00:34:25,520
Speaker 2: on early voting, that is, Republicans are drastically outperforming Democrats.

649
00:34:25,560 --> 00:34:28,759
Speaker 2: I'm sure you have access to that too. Would you

650
00:34:28,920 --> 00:34:31,920
Speaker 2: encourage people to get out vote as early as possible?

651
00:34:32,200 --> 00:34:34,400
Speaker 2: What he said is that there are starting to be

652
00:34:34,440 --> 00:34:37,760
Speaker 2: a lot of people of medium and low propensity voting,

653
00:34:37,800 --> 00:34:40,200
Speaker 2: that is, people who don't typically come out and vote

654
00:34:40,480 --> 00:34:42,200
Speaker 2: that are showing up and voting early.

655
00:34:42,360 --> 00:34:43,400
Speaker 4: Are you seeing that?

656
00:34:43,600 --> 00:34:46,080
Speaker 2: What would you tell people out there listening We got

657
00:34:46,120 --> 00:34:49,800
Speaker 2: a monster audience in Arizona that they should know about

658
00:34:49,840 --> 00:34:52,600
Speaker 2: the early voting process in the next nineteen days.

659
00:34:54,040 --> 00:34:57,120
Speaker 6: Absolutely, we are seeing that on the ground. Every day.

660
00:34:57,160 --> 00:35:00,600
Speaker 6: We're showing up at vote centers and encouraging people to

661
00:35:00,680 --> 00:35:01,680
Speaker 6: show up and vote.

662
00:35:01,760 --> 00:35:03,759
Speaker 14: And we had a huge crowd yesterday in the Far

663
00:35:03,840 --> 00:35:07,799
Speaker 14: West Valley in Buckeye, Arizona, and I actually voted the

664
00:35:07,880 --> 00:35:09,680
Speaker 14: second day of early voting.

665
00:35:09,719 --> 00:35:12,600
Speaker 6: I went and voted, and I've already cast my ballot,

666
00:35:12,680 --> 00:35:14,680
Speaker 6: So I've gotten that taking care of.

667
00:35:14,800 --> 00:35:18,560
Speaker 14: And we're encouraging Republicans and people who are voting for

668
00:35:18,680 --> 00:35:21,160
Speaker 14: America First policies to get out there and vote early,

669
00:35:21,200 --> 00:35:23,640
Speaker 14: and we are seeing the numbers come in and it's

670
00:35:23,640 --> 00:35:26,920
Speaker 14: been overwhelming. I saw the most hilarious thing happen. It

671
00:35:27,000 --> 00:35:29,960
Speaker 14: was a clip from MSNBC and it was one of

672
00:35:30,000 --> 00:35:33,280
Speaker 14: their propagandas on the ground at one of the voting centers,

673
00:35:33,640 --> 00:35:36,080
Speaker 14: and he said, everybody he talked to who came out

674
00:35:36,080 --> 00:35:38,880
Speaker 14: from the voting center was voting for President Trump. He

675
00:35:38,880 --> 00:35:42,080
Speaker 14: couldn't find one person who was voting for Kamala Harris.

676
00:35:42,080 --> 00:35:44,600
Speaker 14: So we are going to see an overwhelming number of

677
00:35:44,680 --> 00:35:47,560
Speaker 14: Republicans show up. We did a great job in getting

678
00:35:47,560 --> 00:35:50,359
Speaker 14: people registered to vote. I got to give a lot

679
00:35:50,360 --> 00:35:52,080
Speaker 14: of credit to a lot of the groups that are

680
00:35:52,120 --> 00:35:55,319
Speaker 14: on the ground, especially Turning Point Action, who spent so

681
00:35:55,400 --> 00:35:59,040
Speaker 14: many months registering people to vote and now getting out

682
00:35:59,120 --> 00:35:59,600
Speaker 14: the vote.

683
00:35:59,680 --> 00:36:00,800
Speaker 6: Chase the ballot.

684
00:36:00,880 --> 00:36:03,400
Speaker 14: We don't want a single ballot to die on someone's

685
00:36:03,480 --> 00:36:04,320
Speaker 14: kitchen countertop.

686
00:36:04,760 --> 00:36:06,160
Speaker 6: So we are becoming.

687
00:36:05,800 --> 00:36:08,080
Speaker 14: Best friends with everybody who has a ballot. We're calling,

688
00:36:08,120 --> 00:36:11,920
Speaker 14: we're knocking on doors, we're holding events, and we're seeing

689
00:36:12,239 --> 00:36:14,960
Speaker 14: the fruits of our labor right now. But it's too

690
00:36:15,000 --> 00:36:17,520
Speaker 14: early to celebrate. We got to get everybody out there

691
00:36:17,520 --> 00:36:19,399
Speaker 14: to vote. I'm encouraging people to go to an early

692
00:36:19,480 --> 00:36:22,319
Speaker 14: voting center and vote. If you're the kind of person

693
00:36:22,360 --> 00:36:24,520
Speaker 14: that would typically wait until election day, we have a

694
00:36:24,600 --> 00:36:27,960
Speaker 14: long ballot, get out there, go vote early. We don't

695
00:36:28,000 --> 00:36:30,880
Speaker 14: want to have a situation where the equipment fails us

696
00:36:31,000 --> 00:36:32,880
Speaker 14: or we don't have parking and the lines are long.

697
00:36:33,360 --> 00:36:35,920
Speaker 14: And if you have a mail in ballot, get it

698
00:36:36,160 --> 00:36:39,319
Speaker 14: filled out and send it in. Either drop it off

699
00:36:39,360 --> 00:36:41,640
Speaker 14: at a dropbox, show up at a voting center and

700
00:36:41,680 --> 00:36:44,640
Speaker 14: hand it off, or you can put it in the mail.

701
00:36:44,680 --> 00:36:46,360
Speaker 6: But I prefer the first two choices.

702
00:36:46,840 --> 00:36:49,000
Speaker 14: We are going to see voter turnout like they've never

703
00:36:49,000 --> 00:36:53,320
Speaker 14: seen before in the history of voting here in Arizona.

704
00:36:54,480 --> 00:36:57,879
Speaker 2: By the way, Carrie, what you just referenced the MSNBC

705
00:36:58,080 --> 00:36:59,120
Speaker 2: clip we had it.

706
00:36:59,200 --> 00:37:00,799
Speaker 4: I had the guys over here.

707
00:37:00,840 --> 00:37:06,040
Speaker 2: It is they're looking for a Kamala voter MSNBC in Arizona.

708
00:37:06,080 --> 00:37:07,080
Speaker 4: This is what it sounded like.

709
00:37:07,200 --> 00:37:09,200
Speaker 10: You should note we did not find a single person

710
00:37:09,200 --> 00:37:11,640
Speaker 10: who audibly would tell us that they voted for Kamala Harris.

711
00:37:11,880 --> 00:37:14,840
Speaker 10: These were Trump supporters getting out to vote early in

712
00:37:14,880 --> 00:37:17,000
Speaker 10: the all important Hobby county. Take a listen to some

713
00:37:17,080 --> 00:37:18,319
Speaker 10: of our conversations The.

714
00:37:18,280 --> 00:37:21,840
Speaker 12: Difference is going to be that everybody's coming out early,

715
00:37:22,280 --> 00:37:26,360
Speaker 12: and everybody that we talked to has made a special

716
00:37:26,400 --> 00:37:29,000
Speaker 12: effort this year to vote. And it's you can see

717
00:37:29,040 --> 00:37:31,640
Speaker 12: it here in the parking lot. You know, this library's

718
00:37:32,000 --> 00:37:34,799
Speaker 12: usually got five cars in it. The ton of cars

719
00:37:34,840 --> 00:37:35,279
Speaker 12: in it. Now.

720
00:37:35,360 --> 00:37:37,080
Speaker 8: I said, you voted early for the first time, for

721
00:37:37,120 --> 00:37:37,640
Speaker 8: the first time.

722
00:37:37,719 --> 00:37:38,960
Speaker 5: Why did you vote early this year?

723
00:37:39,040 --> 00:37:40,759
Speaker 15: Honestly because Donald Trump told me to.

724
00:37:44,120 --> 00:37:47,120
Speaker 12: Army chief saying it, and I've been thinking about it,

725
00:37:47,160 --> 00:37:48,759
Speaker 12: and so.

726
00:37:49,360 --> 00:37:51,520
Speaker 15: Here I am.

727
00:37:51,719 --> 00:37:51,919
Speaker 4: There.

728
00:37:51,960 --> 00:37:54,120
Speaker 2: You go carry. That's what you were referencing. Buck good

729
00:37:54,200 --> 00:37:55,839
Speaker 2: sign there, Yeah, I.

730
00:37:55,760 --> 00:37:58,120
Speaker 5: Think I think it's obviously encouraging. Go ahead, carry.

731
00:37:59,080 --> 00:38:00,000
Speaker 6: It's a great sign.

732
00:38:00,120 --> 00:38:02,000
Speaker 14: And you know, I want to talk to the people

733
00:38:02,000 --> 00:38:04,640
Speaker 14: out there who might still be on the fence. And

734
00:38:04,719 --> 00:38:07,440
Speaker 14: we had a debate last week, me and my opponent,

735
00:38:07,760 --> 00:38:11,560
Speaker 14: Ruben Diego, the most radical member of Congress that most

736
00:38:11,560 --> 00:38:14,440
Speaker 14: people have never heard about. He's voted more to the

737
00:38:14,520 --> 00:38:18,640
Speaker 14: left than even AOC and the squad. And you know,

738
00:38:19,800 --> 00:38:22,160
Speaker 14: I got to admit we defeated him in that debate.

739
00:38:22,239 --> 00:38:25,080
Speaker 14: We really showed people what he's been about open borders.

740
00:38:25,120 --> 00:38:28,200
Speaker 14: He's called Trump supporters the worst people in the world.

741
00:38:28,280 --> 00:38:31,239
Speaker 14: He's called US dumb, He's called the border wall dumb

742
00:38:31,239 --> 00:38:34,040
Speaker 14: and stupid. He's not for securing the border, and he

743
00:38:34,080 --> 00:38:36,080
Speaker 14: wants to represent the people of the state, Yet he

744
00:38:36,120 --> 00:38:37,440
Speaker 14: hates more than half of the state.

745
00:38:37,520 --> 00:38:38,960
Speaker 6: I think that's disqualifying.

746
00:38:39,360 --> 00:38:42,200
Speaker 14: Additionally, he's you know, voted like I said, and pushed

747
00:38:42,239 --> 00:38:45,000
Speaker 14: to defund the police. Every idea he's pushed is a

748
00:38:45,040 --> 00:38:48,040
Speaker 14: bad idea. But I want people to if they can,

749
00:38:48,200 --> 00:38:50,000
Speaker 14: go to my Twitter page. I pinned it there at

750
00:38:50,000 --> 00:38:50,880
Speaker 14: the top of the debate.

751
00:38:51,200 --> 00:38:51,839
Speaker 6: If you know.

752
00:38:51,840 --> 00:38:53,799
Speaker 14: Somebody who's kind of on the fence, not sure what

753
00:38:53,840 --> 00:38:56,560
Speaker 14: they want to do, I encourage them to watch the

754
00:38:56,640 --> 00:38:59,920
Speaker 14: debate and just hear what his ideas are for Arizona,

755
00:39:00,400 --> 00:39:04,440
Speaker 14: what my ideas are for Arizona. We are seeing the momentum.

756
00:39:04,600 --> 00:39:07,120
Speaker 14: It is so much bigger than it was in twenty twenty.

757
00:39:07,640 --> 00:39:09,960
Speaker 14: It's bigger than it was in twenty twenty two when

758
00:39:10,000 --> 00:39:13,440
Speaker 14: I ran for governor. The enthusiasm on the ground for

759
00:39:13,560 --> 00:39:17,400
Speaker 14: President Trump, for Carrie Lake for US Senate is enormous,

760
00:39:17,840 --> 00:39:21,160
Speaker 14: and we just have to turn off the fake news media,

761
00:39:21,320 --> 00:39:24,279
Speaker 14: focus on saving our country and get out there and

762
00:39:24,360 --> 00:39:26,120
Speaker 14: vote and talk to our neighbors and get them to

763
00:39:26,200 --> 00:39:27,520
Speaker 14: vote as well.

764
00:39:27,680 --> 00:39:29,960
Speaker 1: Carrie, what is your site so anybody who wants to

765
00:39:30,040 --> 00:39:32,719
Speaker 1: donate or get involved in the state of Arizona can

766
00:39:32,760 --> 00:39:34,640
Speaker 1: do so.

767
00:39:34,680 --> 00:39:37,880
Speaker 6: It's Kerriylake dot com. Ka r I l a k

768
00:39:38,040 --> 00:39:38,759
Speaker 6: E dot com.

769
00:39:38,760 --> 00:39:41,840
Speaker 14: You can find me on Twitter and Facebook and all

770
00:39:41,920 --> 00:39:43,960
Speaker 14: of the social media sites as well. And I just

771
00:39:44,120 --> 00:39:50,319
Speaker 14: recently joined TikTok and my handle there is the Carrie Lake.

772
00:39:50,480 --> 00:39:52,840
Speaker 14: My daughter convinced me to join it, and we've already

773
00:39:53,080 --> 00:39:55,920
Speaker 14: gotten a really good response. We didn't talk about the

774
00:39:56,080 --> 00:40:00,440
Speaker 14: young people who are becoming Republican and voting for America

775
00:40:00,480 --> 00:40:03,680
Speaker 14: First policies. It's the most beautiful thing, Clay and Buck,

776
00:40:03,760 --> 00:40:05,880
Speaker 14: because these young people are waking up.

777
00:40:05,880 --> 00:40:06,359
Speaker 6: They get it.

778
00:40:06,400 --> 00:40:08,960
Speaker 14: They realize, you know, who locked them down during COVID,

779
00:40:09,239 --> 00:40:11,480
Speaker 14: who forced them to wear masks, who forced him to

780
00:40:11,920 --> 00:40:14,440
Speaker 14: you know, leave school and not have those moments with

781
00:40:14,520 --> 00:40:17,840
Speaker 14: friends and those opportunities. And they're also looking at the

782
00:40:17,920 --> 00:40:21,239
Speaker 14: economy now where they can't afford anything, and they're realizing

783
00:40:21,320 --> 00:40:24,520
Speaker 14: that it's the Republican Party, it's the America First Republican

784
00:40:24,560 --> 00:40:28,319
Speaker 14: Party that has the ideas and the solutions to these

785
00:40:28,360 --> 00:40:31,319
Speaker 14: problems that we are facing. So I'm really encouraged by that,

786
00:40:31,520 --> 00:40:33,920
Speaker 14: especially being the mom of a twenty year old and

787
00:40:33,960 --> 00:40:34,960
Speaker 14: a twenty one year old.

788
00:40:35,280 --> 00:40:36,640
Speaker 6: I'm encouraged for their future.

789
00:40:37,560 --> 00:40:41,359
Speaker 2: Carrie Kamala Harris said it's sexist. Basically, many of our

790
00:40:41,400 --> 00:40:45,479
Speaker 2: supporters did that they are not getting the support from

791
00:40:45,560 --> 00:40:49,880
Speaker 2: men that they expected Black men, Asian men, Hispanic men.

792
00:40:50,160 --> 00:40:52,279
Speaker 2: What's your thoughts, because I bet you're doing pretty well

793
00:40:52,280 --> 00:40:54,480
Speaker 2: with a lot of black, Hispanic, Asian and white men

794
00:40:54,960 --> 00:40:58,160
Speaker 2: running as a woman in Arizona. What's your thought with

795
00:40:58,239 --> 00:40:59,640
Speaker 2: Kamala's sexist argument.

796
00:41:01,080 --> 00:41:04,080
Speaker 14: We sure are doing well because those men want to

797
00:41:04,120 --> 00:41:07,120
Speaker 14: have a strong economy, as safe border, safe community, and

798
00:41:07,200 --> 00:41:11,160
Speaker 14: quality of life so they can enjoy Arizona and raise

799
00:41:11,160 --> 00:41:13,839
Speaker 14: their families here and you know, run their businesses as well.

800
00:41:14,200 --> 00:41:15,600
Speaker 6: I don't think it's sexist, we know.

801
00:41:15,880 --> 00:41:18,200
Speaker 14: I think it's sexist to say that, to be honest,

802
00:41:18,719 --> 00:41:21,920
Speaker 14: it's assuming that all we care about is somebody's gender.

803
00:41:21,960 --> 00:41:24,840
Speaker 14: And I also think it's ironic because isn't that the

804
00:41:24,880 --> 00:41:27,160
Speaker 14: party that says there's no such thing as gender. There's

805
00:41:27,560 --> 00:41:30,040
Speaker 14: everything's gender fluid, and there's one hundred different genders and

806
00:41:30,080 --> 00:41:34,200
Speaker 14: all of that. We want quality, we want competence, and

807
00:41:34,239 --> 00:41:37,680
Speaker 14: we want solutions in a candidate, and all we see

808
00:41:38,120 --> 00:41:43,640
Speaker 14: in Kamala Harris is somebody who is inauthentic, somebody who

809
00:41:43,920 --> 00:41:49,120
Speaker 14: is incompetent, somebody who has nothing when it comes to solutions.

810
00:41:49,160 --> 00:41:51,560
Speaker 14: Actually we see the person who's caused a lot of

811
00:41:51,560 --> 00:41:54,239
Speaker 14: these problems that we're dealing with. We want the best

812
00:41:54,280 --> 00:41:56,000
Speaker 14: person for the job, and the best person for the

813
00:41:56,080 --> 00:41:59,480
Speaker 14: job is Donald Trump. And I you know, I don't

814
00:41:59,640 --> 00:42:02,280
Speaker 14: vote as a woman based on someone's gender. I vote

815
00:42:02,280 --> 00:42:04,239
Speaker 14: on what kind of policies and how are they going

816
00:42:04,280 --> 00:42:06,239
Speaker 14: to help me, my state, my family. And that's why

817
00:42:06,280 --> 00:42:08,799
Speaker 14: we have to get America first. Folks in there, and

818
00:42:08,840 --> 00:42:10,799
Speaker 14: I will tell you this, I want to talk to

819
00:42:10,840 --> 00:42:14,080
Speaker 14: the women out there. My opponent has a terrible history

820
00:42:14,120 --> 00:42:18,000
Speaker 14: with women of harassment, of sexual harassment in his past

821
00:42:18,120 --> 00:42:21,719
Speaker 14: jobs when he was at the state legislature and down

822
00:42:21,760 --> 00:42:25,120
Speaker 14: at city Hall. Many complaints against him. We've seen his

823
00:42:25,160 --> 00:42:28,239
Speaker 14: past when he worked in the private sector for a

824
00:42:28,239 --> 00:42:30,000
Speaker 14: brief period of time when he ran a bank for

825
00:42:30,040 --> 00:42:34,719
Speaker 14: illegal immigrants and ended up being accused and investigated for

826
00:42:34,800 --> 00:42:38,920
Speaker 14: defrauding them out of their life savings and also defrauding medicare.

827
00:42:39,320 --> 00:42:42,120
Speaker 14: So this is his background. He walked out on his

828
00:42:42,200 --> 00:42:44,560
Speaker 14: wife when she was nine months pregnant, served her with

829
00:42:44,680 --> 00:42:48,279
Speaker 14: divorce papers days before Christmas, and ran off with a

830
00:42:48,360 --> 00:42:52,640
Speaker 14: DC lobbyist. And that DC lobbyist is controlling what legislation

831
00:42:52,800 --> 00:42:55,840
Speaker 14: he pushes. He's not working for the people of Arizona.

832
00:42:55,920 --> 00:42:58,520
Speaker 14: And so you know, we want somebody who's got better

833
00:42:58,600 --> 00:43:01,040
Speaker 14: character than that, somebody who's going to fight for Arizona

834
00:43:01,080 --> 00:43:04,279
Speaker 14: and is going to put forth ideas rather than just

835
00:43:04,320 --> 00:43:07,520
Speaker 14: watch as we get mired in all of these problems

836
00:43:07,520 --> 00:43:11,239
Speaker 14: that the Democrats create with I don't think they want solutions.

837
00:43:11,280 --> 00:43:13,760
Speaker 14: I think they want to just keep pouring money into

838
00:43:13,760 --> 00:43:15,920
Speaker 14: the symptoms of the problems they create.

839
00:43:16,880 --> 00:43:21,000
Speaker 2: Carrie Lake Kaari Lake dot com. If you want to

840
00:43:21,120 --> 00:43:23,920
Speaker 2: vote Arizona, you got a lot of power in your hands,

841
00:43:23,960 --> 00:43:27,160

843
00:43:30,000 --> 00:43:32,200
Speaker 2: everybody shows up and gets those vote cast.

851
00:43:54,920 --> 00:44:01,200
Speaker 2: North Carolina began yesterday, early voting underway. Michelle Woodhouse, GOP,

852
00:44:01,440 --> 00:44:05,439
Speaker 2: chair of the eleventh District of North Carolina, Western North

853

Speaker 2: Carolina near Cherokee. For those of you who are familiar

854
00:44:10,040 --> 00:44:14,520
Speaker 2: with the geography of western North Carolina, Michelle, we appreciate

855
00:44:14,560 --> 00:44:17,440
Speaker 2: the time. What can you tell us about how people

856
00:44:17,440 --> 00:44:21,520
Speaker 2: in western North Carolina are doing, first of all in general,

857
00:44:21,960 --> 00:44:26,960
Speaker 2: and second, how the Hurricane Helene impact is going to

858
00:44:27,080 --> 00:44:30,480
Speaker 2: influence voting in that region, two things that many people

859
00:44:30,520 --> 00:44:33,040
Speaker 2: listening to us right now care about quite a lot.

860
00:44:34,080 --> 00:44:35,840
Speaker 15: Yes, and thank you so much for having me.

861
00:44:35,960 --> 00:44:40,360
Speaker 13: Yes, we're the far sixteen west counties where North Carolina begins,

862
00:44:40,440 --> 00:44:45,880
Speaker 13: we like to say, and from an overall standpoint, just

863
00:44:45,920 --> 00:44:50,920
Speaker 13: a few weeks post Hurricane Helene, biblical proportion devastation here

864
00:44:52,200 --> 00:44:54,400
Speaker 13: things that we've just never seen happen in the mountains

865
00:44:54,400 --> 00:45:00,200
Speaker 13: of western North Carolina before. People are recovering, the rebuilding,

866
00:45:00,520 --> 00:45:05,000
Speaker 13: much to David Axelrod's dismay, the Hillbillies of Western North

867
00:45:05,000 --> 00:45:07,960
Speaker 13: Carolina built the roads the first time, and we're back

868
00:45:08,000 --> 00:45:09,880
Speaker 13: at it rebuilding our communities.

869
00:45:10,080 --> 00:45:12,120
Speaker 15: It has been really.

870
00:45:11,920 --> 00:45:16,600
Speaker 13: A tremendous example of what neighbor helping neighbor really looks

871
00:45:16,680 --> 00:45:18,800
Speaker 13: like here on the ground in western North Carolina.

872
00:45:19,840 --> 00:45:22,479
Speaker 1: So what can you tell us about anybody who has

873
00:45:23,080 --> 00:45:27,240
Speaker 1: concerns that it's just this is going to affect voting

874
00:45:27,320 --> 00:45:29,440
Speaker 1: right now? I mean, we've gotten so many people all

875
00:45:29,480 --> 00:45:32,320
Speaker 1: across the country. You know, the first few days or

876
00:45:32,320 --> 00:45:34,120
Speaker 1: the really first week after the hurricane, it was just

877
00:45:34,160 --> 00:45:37,279
Speaker 1: as everybody, Okay, let's get resources on the ground, let's

878
00:45:37,320 --> 00:45:40,120
Speaker 1: take care of that. But now we get emails every

879
00:45:40,200 --> 00:45:43,759
Speaker 1: day where there's this concern that there won't be the

880
00:45:43,760 --> 00:45:47,600
Speaker 1: infrastructure in place, there won't be what is necessary so

881
00:45:47,640 --> 00:45:51,480
Speaker 1: that everybody who lives in western North Carolina who's eligible

882
00:45:51,480 --> 00:45:53,239
Speaker 1: to vote can cast their vote. What can you tell

883
00:45:53,320 --> 00:45:55,200
Speaker 1: us about how that is coming along?

884
00:45:56,200 --> 00:45:56,839
Speaker 15: Absolutely?

885
00:45:56,960 --> 00:46:01,080
Speaker 13: And you know it's the question on everyone's mind. We

886
00:46:01,120 --> 00:46:03,239
Speaker 13: know this is Trump country, with the exception of the

887
00:46:03,239 --> 00:46:07,160
Speaker 13: blue dot in Ashville. How are people who lost everything

888
00:46:08,120 --> 00:46:10,040
Speaker 13: is the election even in the forefront of their mind?

889
00:46:10,080 --> 00:46:12,799
Speaker 13: And I can tell you and your listeners really from

890
00:46:12,840 --> 00:46:17,000
Speaker 13: the beginning, people could be knee deep in mud literally

891
00:46:17,120 --> 00:46:21,040
Speaker 13: or figuratively, have lost their homes, their cars. The first

892
00:46:21,080 --> 00:46:23,120
Speaker 13: thing they want to talk to me about is how

893
00:46:23,160 --> 00:46:24,040
Speaker 13: do I get to vote.

894
00:46:24,080 --> 00:46:25,440
Speaker 15: I've got to make sure to vote.

895
00:46:25,600 --> 00:46:29,400
Speaker 13: They saw Kamala Harris and stand there and tell people

896
00:46:29,440 --> 00:46:32,760
Speaker 13: in western North Carolina who had lost everything that they

897
00:46:32,880 --> 00:46:35,600
Speaker 13: might get seven hundred and fifty dollars while she's standing

898
00:46:35,600 --> 00:46:37,560
Speaker 13: there wearing an eight hundred dollars belt.

899
00:46:37,680 --> 00:46:40,920
Speaker 15: They heard David Axelrod talk about the fact.

900
00:46:40,680 --> 00:46:43,279
Speaker 13: That the liberal elites in Ashville would have a much

901
00:46:43,360 --> 00:46:47,560
Speaker 13: easier time getting to the polls than the rest of us,

902
00:46:47,760 --> 00:46:51,000
Speaker 13: and they took it seriously and they were deeply offended

903
00:46:51,480 --> 00:46:51,839
Speaker 13: by it.

904
00:46:51,880 --> 00:46:54,320
Speaker 15: They were angry, motivated.

905
00:46:53,800 --> 00:46:56,880
Speaker 13: Inspired to get to the polls. We had record setting numbers,

906
00:46:56,920 --> 00:46:58,560
Speaker 13: not only in North Carolina, and I know you've been

907
00:46:58,600 --> 00:47:01,560
Speaker 13: talking about that a lot on the show today, but

908
00:47:01,640 --> 00:47:04,640
Speaker 13: we had record setting numbers here in the eleventh congressional

909
00:47:04,680 --> 00:47:09,120
Speaker 13: district area that was completely devastated by this storm. The

910
00:47:09,160 --> 00:47:12,280
Speaker 13: pictures and the videos that so many people have seen

911
00:47:12,320 --> 00:47:15,320
Speaker 13: that is right here in the heart of this congressional district.

912
00:47:15,760 --> 00:47:19,960
Speaker 13: We had sixty eight hundred and sixty nine more people

913
00:47:20,080 --> 00:47:23,080
Speaker 13: vote yesterday the first day of early voting, than we

914
00:47:23,120 --> 00:47:24,759
Speaker 13: did back in twenty sixteen.

915
00:47:25,400 --> 00:47:27,920
Speaker 15: And we are seeing every one of.

916
00:47:27,920 --> 00:47:32,040
Speaker 13: The sixteen counties in this district set a record for

917
00:47:32,200 --> 00:47:36,640
Speaker 13: first day early voting, and today day two, the lines

918
00:47:36,640 --> 00:47:40,160
Speaker 13: are as long. They're exceeding numbers that we saw back

919
00:47:40,200 --> 00:47:45,799
Speaker 13: in twenty sixteen, and we are thrilled to see the motivation,

920
00:47:46,040 --> 00:47:49,520
Speaker 13: the energy, and enthusiasm translate into votes. We knew it would,

921
00:47:50,000 --> 00:47:53,880
Speaker 13: but people are doing whatever it takes to get out

922
00:47:53,960 --> 00:47:57,200
Speaker 13: and make their voices heard, waiting in line in some

923
00:47:57,320 --> 00:47:59,920
Speaker 13: places for up to two hours on the first day

924
00:48:00,120 --> 00:48:02,800
Speaker 13: early voting and again today to vote.

925
00:48:03,640 --> 00:48:08,640
Speaker 2: Michelle, you mentioned twenty sixteen numbers. I'm assuming Trump did

926
00:48:08,680 --> 00:48:12,359
Speaker 2: better in twenty sixteen than twenty twenty. You would know

927
00:48:12,440 --> 00:48:14,680
Speaker 2: the data better than me. I know he won North

928
00:48:14,680 --> 00:48:18,759
Speaker 2: Carolina both years, but I think sixteen was a more

929
00:48:18,880 --> 00:48:22,640
Speaker 2: comfortable win than twenty. So when you say you're exceeding

930
00:48:22,680 --> 00:48:26,920
Speaker 2: twenty sixteen numbers, that's exceeding the best numbers that Trump

931
00:48:27,000 --> 00:48:29,279
Speaker 2: would have ever done. Is that a fair way of

932
00:48:29,320 --> 00:48:31,839
Speaker 2: putting that so far? Based on what you're seeing in

933
00:48:31,880 --> 00:48:34,800
Speaker 2: western North Carolina, Lee, Yeah, we're.

934
00:48:34,600 --> 00:48:37,000
Speaker 13: Looking at those twenty sixteen numbers for a couple of reasons.

935
00:48:37,000 --> 00:48:39,480
Speaker 13: He won North Carolina by a little over three point

936
00:48:39,560 --> 00:48:43,000
Speaker 13: since for our state, that's a landslide, and he won

937
00:48:44,040 --> 00:48:47,360
Speaker 13: in twenty twenty by about one point three percent. But

938
00:48:47,640 --> 00:48:50,400
Speaker 13: you know, because of COVID and twenty twenty, the early

939
00:48:50,480 --> 00:48:54,800
Speaker 13: voting numbers are difficult as a benchmark to measure true trends,

940
00:48:54,880 --> 00:48:57,280
Speaker 13: and so we really looked at sixteen to your point,

941
00:48:57,480 --> 00:49:00,960
Speaker 13: that was when Donald Trump had his highest watermark in

942
00:49:01,680 --> 00:49:06,600
Speaker 13: North Carolina. And what we're seeing here is that the

943
00:49:06,719 --> 00:49:10,160
Speaker 13: energy and enthusiasm is so high. But people had to

944
00:49:10,239 --> 00:49:13,080
Speaker 13: work really hard in western North Carolina to get to

945
00:49:13,120 --> 00:49:16,880
Speaker 13: the polls. Yesterday it was you know, roads are closed

946
00:49:16,920 --> 00:49:21,760
Speaker 13: and washed out, and communities are completely devastated and people

947
00:49:21,920 --> 00:49:25,239
Speaker 13: are trying to rebuild. But it didn't matter. They were

948
00:49:25,239 --> 00:49:28,000
Speaker 13: taking the time out of their day yesterday. They're taking

949
00:49:28,040 --> 00:49:31,600
Speaker 13: time out of their day today. We're seeing people that

950
00:49:31,719 --> 00:49:34,120
Speaker 13: truly they don't have a home or a car, and

951
00:49:34,160 --> 00:49:37,319
Speaker 13: they're getting to the polls to vote because they know

952
00:49:37,520 --> 00:49:41,080
Speaker 13: the future is very clear for them. If Kamala Harris

953
00:49:41,120 --> 00:49:44,000
Speaker 13: becomes president, we have three and a half more years

954
00:49:44,040 --> 00:49:47,680
Speaker 13: of devastation to our communities, and they know Donald Trump

955
00:49:47,800 --> 00:49:50,320
Speaker 13: is the right answer for the forgotten men and women

956
00:49:50,520 --> 00:49:50,959
Speaker 13: right here.

957
00:49:51,600 --> 00:49:54,560
Speaker 2: Michelle, do you think and this may sound counterintuitive, but

958
00:49:54,640 --> 00:49:58,919
Speaker 2: I'm curious. Do you think the hurricane might actually be

959
00:49:59,040 --> 00:50:03,600
Speaker 2: driving up turnout because people like you said David Axelrod

960
00:50:03,680 --> 00:50:06,760
Speaker 2: talked down to them, because they think the federal government

961
00:50:06,840 --> 00:50:10,359
Speaker 2: hasn't shown up for them, that it's even strengthened their

962
00:50:10,440 --> 00:50:13,240
Speaker 2: resolve to vote more so than if the storm hadn't

963
00:50:13,280 --> 00:50:15,360
Speaker 2: even hit. Is that a crazy take or do you

964
00:50:15,560 --> 00:50:16,000
Speaker 2: since that?

965
00:50:17,239 --> 00:50:19,160
Speaker 13: I sense it, I really do, and I'll tell you

966
00:50:19,200 --> 00:50:23,120
Speaker 13: we were seeing it in action. I've seen multiple people

967
00:50:23,520 --> 00:50:27,040
Speaker 13: showing up at Republican Party offices since the storm hit,

968
00:50:27,560 --> 00:50:30,680
Speaker 13: registering to vote, voting for the first time. We were

969
00:50:30,760 --> 00:50:33,600
Speaker 13: evacuated from our neighborhood. Not a knock on the door

970
00:50:33,600 --> 00:50:34,560
Speaker 13: that anyone wants to get.

971
00:50:34,600 --> 00:50:35,879
Speaker 15: We had a mud slide.

972
00:50:36,000 --> 00:50:39,760
Speaker 13: We were evacuated by the National Guard, and on Friday morning,

973
00:50:39,800 --> 00:50:43,520
Speaker 13: in the midst of this unbelievable storm, I'm disembarking off

974
00:50:43,520 --> 00:50:48,160
Speaker 13: of the National Guard truck. My neighbor, who isn't uber political,

975
00:50:48,640 --> 00:50:51,560
Speaker 13: packed her fanny pack and says, I packed my absent

976
00:50:51,600 --> 00:50:52,160
Speaker 13: tee ballot.

977
00:50:52,160 --> 00:50:53,640
Speaker 15: Can we fill it out while I'm here?

978
00:50:54,239 --> 00:50:57,480
Speaker 13: Moved about ninety seconds to evacuate, and she grabbed her

979
00:50:57,520 --> 00:51:00,200
Speaker 13: apps and tee ballot. I think that you are seeing

980
00:51:00,760 --> 00:51:04,560
Speaker 13: people here. The storm was a catalyst for many, and

981
00:51:04,600 --> 00:51:07,000
Speaker 13: I think what people are seeing happened here in.

982
00:51:06,960 --> 00:51:08,160
Speaker 15: Western North Carolina.

983
00:51:08,560 --> 00:51:11,080
Speaker 13: You all have done such a great job of keeping

984
00:51:11,160 --> 00:51:14,560
Speaker 13: it in the forefront. It is resonating with people in

985
00:51:14,640 --> 00:51:18,120
Speaker 13: rural Pennsylvania, people in my home state of Michigan, where

986
00:51:18,160 --> 00:51:21,440
Speaker 13: I grew up, in northern parts of Michigan. Rural communities

987
00:51:21,520 --> 00:51:26,080
Speaker 13: across this country are looking at us and thinking, I

988
00:51:26,080 --> 00:51:28,200
Speaker 13: know their prayers are with us. They're here helping us

989
00:51:28,200 --> 00:51:31,080
Speaker 13: and donating, but they know, Gosh forbid, this could be

990
00:51:31,200 --> 00:51:35,680
Speaker 13: them someday. And they are seeing the response of Kamala Harris,

991
00:51:36,120 --> 00:51:39,479
Speaker 13: and it's resonating and motivating people across the country because

992
00:51:39,520 --> 00:51:42,120
Speaker 13: they can relate to Western North Carolinians.

993
00:51:43,480 --> 00:51:45,480
Speaker 1: Thank you so much for being with us, and anything

994
00:51:45,480 --> 00:51:47,960
Speaker 1: else you wanted to say in terms of what people

995
00:51:48,080 --> 00:51:50,239
Speaker 1: in western North Carolina need to know about how to

996
00:51:50,280 --> 00:51:53,040
Speaker 1: get to how to get the polling location nearest them,

997
00:51:53,239 --> 00:51:55,239
