If you are out there 5 00:00:12,280 --> 00:00:14,600 Speaker 1: right now and you just heard me say that and 6 00:00:14,640 --> 00:00:19,560 Speaker 1: you didn't know it was Valentine's Day, you're probably already 7 00:00:19,560 --> 00:00:21,639 Speaker 1: in a little bit of trouble. But I might have 8 00:00:21,720 --> 00:00:25,239 Speaker 1: saved you from a lot of trouble. There are millions 9 00:00:25,320 --> 00:00:28,960 Speaker 1: of men right now who still have not recognized that 10 00:00:29,000 --> 00:00:35,960 Speaker 1: it is Valentine's Day, and your wives, girlfriend's, mistresses, significant others, boyfriends, 11 00:00:36,040 --> 00:00:41,160 Speaker 1: I don't know. They're all angry at you because you're 12 00:00:41,200 --> 00:00:44,600 Speaker 1: an imbecile and you should have made reservations weeks ago 13 00:00:44,720 --> 00:00:47,400 Speaker 1: to be able to go out to dinner. Buck, I 14 00:00:47,479 --> 00:00:52,559 Speaker 1: always say, there's very few things worse to be than 15 00:00:52,600 --> 00:00:56,120 Speaker 1: the man with a girlfriend or a wife driving around 16 00:00:56,160 --> 00:00:59,600 Speaker 1: trying to get into a restaurant on Valentine's Day walk in. 17 00:01:00,520 --> 00:01:02,400 Speaker 1: Do you have any tables? No, No, they don't have 18 00:01:02,440 --> 00:01:05,000 Speaker 1: any tables. They haven't had tables for weeks. All of 19 00:01:05,040 --> 00:01:06,880 Speaker 1: the men who cared about the women in their lives 20 00:01:06,920 --> 00:01:10,800 Speaker 1: made reservations weeks ago, and you didn't. So you better 21 00:01:10,800 --> 00:01:12,880 Speaker 1: come up with a plan right now, find out how 22 00:01:12,920 --> 00:01:15,160 Speaker 1: you can cook? Are you going out at all for 23 00:01:15,280 --> 00:01:16,080 Speaker 1: Valentine's Day? 24 00:01:16,319 --> 00:01:18,720 Speaker 2: You're you're really not helping all the all the dudes 25 00:01:18,720 --> 00:01:20,920 Speaker 2: in our audience right now who are caught a little 26 00:01:20,920 --> 00:01:24,080 Speaker 2: bit off guard by the oh my gosh, it's Valentine's 27 00:01:24,120 --> 00:01:27,640 Speaker 2: Day play. I tried that. They're already, they're already panicky. 28 00:01:27,880 --> 00:01:30,119 Speaker 2: You're throwing them right under the bus with a bunch 29 00:01:30,200 --> 00:01:33,840 Speaker 2: with a bouquet of flowers. No less, Look, I have 30 00:01:34,040 --> 00:01:35,440 Speaker 2: very what I. 31 00:01:35,360 --> 00:01:38,360 Speaker 1: Was just gonna say you you were a single guy, 32 00:01:39,400 --> 00:01:42,560 Speaker 1: as a man, grown man out of college for like 33 00:01:42,680 --> 00:01:46,679 Speaker 1: almost twenty years was Valentine's Where did Valentine's Day for 34 00:01:46,800 --> 00:01:50,040 Speaker 1: you as a single man rank on your most hated days? 35 00:01:50,040 --> 00:01:52,560 Speaker 2: It had to be high up there, right. So there 36 00:01:52,560 --> 00:01:54,960 Speaker 2: are two ways to look at it. On the one hand, 37 00:01:55,200 --> 00:01:57,520 Speaker 2: as a single man now, I think there's a very 38 00:01:57,520 --> 00:02:00,520 Speaker 2: small I wonder what percentage of our all audience is 39 00:02:00,560 --> 00:02:01,280 Speaker 2: actually single? 40 00:02:01,520 --> 00:02:04,320 Speaker 1: I think it's a great question. Not you mean single, 41 00:02:04,400 --> 00:02:08,680 Speaker 1: never married? Single, never married? Probably a good guest. 42 00:02:10,360 --> 00:02:13,359 Speaker 2: So for for the ten percent who know what I'm 43 00:02:13,360 --> 00:02:15,639 Speaker 2: talking about here, there's one way to look at it, 44 00:02:15,680 --> 00:02:17,240 Speaker 2: which is it puts all this on. By the way, 45 00:02:17,240 --> 00:02:19,160 Speaker 2: we are going to dive into the news, the big, 46 00:02:19,320 --> 00:02:21,040 Speaker 2: the big congressional special. 47 00:02:21,280 --> 00:02:24,120 Speaker 1: I want to just start with relaxing conversation before we 48 00:02:24,200 --> 00:02:27,200 Speaker 1: have to hit the everything that we're all screwed and 49 00:02:27,200 --> 00:02:28,240 Speaker 1: and everything's going to hell. 50 00:02:28,360 --> 00:02:30,520 Speaker 2: That that's coming up first, Clay, I want to tell 51 00:02:30,560 --> 00:02:33,440 Speaker 2: you your relationship is on the rocks if you didn't 52 00:02:33,440 --> 00:02:35,560 Speaker 2: already plan for all this. So that's your things as 53 00:02:35,600 --> 00:02:39,560 Speaker 2: the single guy. Uh, you can look at Valentines as 54 00:02:40,240 --> 00:02:43,480 Speaker 2: the hot seat. And because especially if you're a few 55 00:02:43,600 --> 00:02:47,800 Speaker 2: dates in, it's if someone's your Valentine or that your girlfriend. 56 00:02:47,840 --> 00:02:50,360 Speaker 2: I mean that starts, you know, are you in a relationship? 57 00:02:50,760 --> 00:02:53,520 Speaker 2: You know what's the what's the situation. But the other 58 00:02:53,560 --> 00:02:55,280 Speaker 2: side of it is you could be like, well, if 59 00:02:55,320 --> 00:02:57,960 Speaker 2: you want to just fade out, Valentine's Day is a 60 00:02:57,960 --> 00:03:00,200 Speaker 2: good day to fade out, because if you don't make 61 00:03:00,240 --> 00:03:03,160 Speaker 2: it happen, if you've been out with a lady more 62 00:03:03,200 --> 00:03:06,520 Speaker 2: than once and nothing comes her way on Valentine's Day, 63 00:03:07,160 --> 00:03:09,359 Speaker 2: I don't think you're going out with their number three, 64 00:03:09,440 --> 00:03:13,480 Speaker 2: number four. So that's it's a bit of a it's 65 00:03:13,520 --> 00:03:17,160 Speaker 2: like a sifting mechanism in the single man's world. Uh, 66 00:03:17,560 --> 00:03:19,639 Speaker 2: you know, and that's assuming you're the kind of guy 67 00:03:19,680 --> 00:03:23,960 Speaker 2: who is trying to, you know, still find that significant 68 00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:26,359 Speaker 2: other down the line. So yeah, that's what I would say. 69 00:03:26,360 --> 00:03:28,760 Speaker 2: I'm just on the restaurant scene. I'm staying home tonight, Karen, 70 00:03:28,760 --> 00:03:31,840 Speaker 2: are gonna make we make phenomenal steak. You haven't We 71 00:03:31,880 --> 00:03:33,480 Speaker 2: haven't had steak night with you when you've here, when 72 00:03:33,480 --> 00:03:36,480 Speaker 2: you're here yet. Always that's true. We always order in Clay. 73 00:03:36,600 --> 00:03:39,520 Speaker 2: Clay all of a sudden starts being like he's like, Yosay, Clay, 74 00:03:40,920 --> 00:03:42,000 Speaker 2: I would like some at Civich. 75 00:03:42,120 --> 00:03:43,480 Speaker 1: I don't know how to say that in Spanish. The 76 00:03:43,560 --> 00:03:46,640 Speaker 1: vch is in Miami is really really good, Clay. 77 00:03:46,720 --> 00:03:49,000 Speaker 2: No, I mean that's the one thing here. You can 78 00:03:49,080 --> 00:03:51,440 Speaker 2: drop me anywhere in Miami pretty much. And it's like, hey, 79 00:03:51,600 --> 00:03:53,280 Speaker 2: is there a good civ The answer is yes, there's 80 00:03:53,280 --> 00:03:56,960 Speaker 2: good Savich, so good hand. So you know, we make 81 00:03:56,960 --> 00:03:58,880 Speaker 2: great steak, and so we're making steak tonight because I'm 82 00:03:58,880 --> 00:04:00,600 Speaker 2: just gonna say this to everybody out there, whether you're 83 00:04:00,600 --> 00:04:02,360 Speaker 2: going out to dinner or not. And I think a 84 00:04:02,360 --> 00:04:04,120 Speaker 2: lot of our people are not going to go out. 85 00:04:04,120 --> 00:04:06,400 Speaker 2: They're going to stay home and you know, I'm a 86 00:04:06,440 --> 00:04:10,600 Speaker 2: fan of I think you celebrate Valentine's Day in the home. 87 00:04:11,400 --> 00:04:14,600 Speaker 2: I think I'm just what. I think it all respects. 88 00:04:14,720 --> 00:04:18,640 Speaker 2: I think Valentines is something you know, for the married 89 00:04:18,680 --> 00:04:22,839 Speaker 2: folks out there. I think Valentines is something you celebrate 90 00:04:22,920 --> 00:04:25,760 Speaker 2: in the home first and foremost. And I would also 91 00:04:25,760 --> 00:04:28,039 Speaker 2: say going out to eat, this is the worst in 92 00:04:28,160 --> 00:04:31,320 Speaker 2: terms of your service, your restaurant options, the price point, 93 00:04:31,360 --> 00:04:33,440 Speaker 2: the worst day of the year. They don't care. I 94 00:04:33,480 --> 00:04:36,520 Speaker 2: think they'll never see you again. Second worst. I think 95 00:04:36,560 --> 00:04:39,360 Speaker 2: New Year's Eve is the worst. Actually, I actually I'll 96 00:04:39,360 --> 00:04:41,359 Speaker 2: strike that from the record. Yes, New Year's Eve is 97 00:04:41,440 --> 00:04:43,719 Speaker 2: the worst. This is the second worst. Yeah, two worse. 98 00:04:43,800 --> 00:04:45,960 Speaker 2: So it's Valentine's Day. Keep it in mind. 99 00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:49,680 Speaker 1: Now, all right, we had a special election, and I 100 00:04:49,800 --> 00:04:52,920 Speaker 1: just want to say this. You and I started this 101 00:04:53,080 --> 00:04:56,760 Speaker 1: show in June of twenty one. We're coming up on 102 00:04:56,880 --> 00:04:59,320 Speaker 1: the three year anniversary. I bet people out there are 103 00:04:59,320 --> 00:05:01,320 Speaker 1: probably like, it's in three year. It's been almost three 104 00:05:01,400 --> 00:05:02,800 Speaker 1: years that we've been hanging out with you on a 105 00:05:02,839 --> 00:05:05,280 Speaker 1: daily He's like, I've been staring at this guy's face. Yeah, 106 00:05:05,279 --> 00:05:09,200 Speaker 1: for thousands of years, yeah, thousands, literally thousands of hours 107 00:05:09,240 --> 00:05:11,279 Speaker 1: at this point, and some of you are like, and 108 00:05:11,279 --> 00:05:13,320 Speaker 1: we've been having to listen to you knuckleheads for thousand, 109 00:05:13,400 --> 00:05:14,240 Speaker 1: yea thousands of hours. 110 00:05:14,279 --> 00:05:14,600 Speaker 2: All right. 111 00:05:14,680 --> 00:05:18,159 Speaker 1: So here's the thing. We have had one day of 112 00:05:18,240 --> 00:05:22,320 Speaker 1: celebration on this show in three years, one day when 113 00:05:22,440 --> 00:05:25,840 Speaker 1: after an election we could come in and we could say, hey, 114 00:05:27,080 --> 00:05:31,680 Speaker 1: America is in a good place. I am ecstatic about 115 00:05:31,720 --> 00:05:36,040 Speaker 1: the result that we got. That was after Glenn Youngkin 116 00:05:36,600 --> 00:05:40,360 Speaker 1: won the governor's race in Virginia in November of twenty 117 00:05:40,440 --> 00:05:41,000 Speaker 1: twenty one. 118 00:05:41,720 --> 00:05:45,520 Speaker 2: That was a great night November of twenty twenty one. 119 00:05:45,720 --> 00:05:50,880 Speaker 1: Now there have been elections that occurred that were fabulous results. 120 00:05:50,920 --> 00:05:55,840 Speaker 1: DeSantis's big win in Florida, Brian Kemp's big win in Georgia, 121 00:05:56,800 --> 00:06:01,560 Speaker 1: the individual congressional districts that flip that allowed the House 122 00:06:01,600 --> 00:06:06,919 Speaker 1: to flip back to Republican control. Lombardo won out in Nevada, 123 00:06:06,960 --> 00:06:09,159 Speaker 1: where I just was the last five days, which is 124 00:06:09,200 --> 00:06:12,920 Speaker 1: the only only person in all of twenty twenty two 125 00:06:13,120 --> 00:06:16,640 Speaker 1: to beat a statewide incumbent. But to a large extent, 126 00:06:17,600 --> 00:06:22,400 Speaker 1: it has been one disappointment after another, and last night 127 00:06:22,760 --> 00:06:29,040 Speaker 1: special election another disappointing result. The majority in the House 128 00:06:29,640 --> 00:06:32,719 Speaker 1: is down again. Now this race will come back up 129 00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:39,279 Speaker 1: in November. This was a special election to replace Santos 130 00:06:39,960 --> 00:06:43,640 Speaker 1: and Suosi. I'm not even sure how you pronounce his name. 131 00:06:43,720 --> 00:06:48,640 Speaker 1: The Democrat incumbent that lost to Santos in twenty twenty 132 00:06:48,680 --> 00:06:54,680 Speaker 1: two came back and won by seven points in New 133 00:06:54,839 --> 00:06:58,680 Speaker 1: York three last night, seven or eight points in the 134 00:06:58,720 --> 00:07:02,560 Speaker 1: special election. And that's not much different than what the 135 00:07:02,640 --> 00:07:06,719 Speaker 1: twenty twenty race looked like when Biden won this district 136 00:07:06,800 --> 00:07:10,760 Speaker 1: by ten points. So Buck, how alarmed should we be? 137 00:07:11,040 --> 00:07:13,320 Speaker 1: We're not going to get a lot of tea leaves 138 00:07:13,360 --> 00:07:16,720 Speaker 1: to read. We're nine months out, coming up on eight months, 139 00:07:16,760 --> 00:07:19,160 Speaker 1: I mentioned yesterday, and I do think this is significant. 140 00:07:19,680 --> 00:07:23,920 Speaker 1: We're only seven months away from everybody starting to vote 141 00:07:24,440 --> 00:07:29,400 Speaker 1: all over the country. What should the alarm be that 142 00:07:29,440 --> 00:07:33,360 Speaker 1: we really haven't had a great victory since twenty twenty one. 143 00:07:33,840 --> 00:07:35,720 Speaker 2: I feel like Clay is not going to become the 144 00:07:35,800 --> 00:07:39,120 Speaker 2: national spokesman for Valentine's Day because so far as Valentine's 145 00:07:39,160 --> 00:07:42,480 Speaker 2: Day messages, good job you jerks who didn't prepare, and oh, 146 00:07:42,520 --> 00:07:45,160 Speaker 2: by the way, the republic is doomed, but let's get 147 00:07:45,240 --> 00:07:47,040 Speaker 2: let's get in mire. I try to be an optimist. 148 00:07:47,120 --> 00:07:48,040 Speaker 2: But let's be honest. 149 00:07:48,160 --> 00:07:52,520 Speaker 1: Other than Glenn Youngkin, there has not been a morning 150 00:07:52,720 --> 00:07:57,200 Speaker 1: after election day where everybody has been beaming in the 151 00:07:57,360 --> 00:07:59,520 Speaker 1: entire time that we've been on the air talking about 152 00:08:00,120 --> 00:08:02,720 Speaker 1: the Santis reelection in Florida. Well, that was great, But 153 00:08:02,760 --> 00:08:05,400 Speaker 1: I'm saying that that was expected. I would that's he's expected. 154 00:08:05,440 --> 00:08:08,680 Speaker 1: Maybe the margin was not, but the twenty twenty two 155 00:08:08,840 --> 00:08:11,800 Speaker 1: in general was not what we had hoped we were 156 00:08:11,800 --> 00:08:12,280 Speaker 1: gonna get. 157 00:08:12,480 --> 00:08:18,360 Speaker 2: So so I view this as a giant ringing alarm 158 00:08:18,440 --> 00:08:22,560 Speaker 2: bell for all Conservatives, for the entire Republican Party across 159 00:08:22,600 --> 00:08:28,320 Speaker 2: the country. This is not going to be easy this election. 160 00:08:28,840 --> 00:08:32,880 Speaker 2: I understand Joe Biden sippy cup, blanket on the knees, 161 00:08:33,000 --> 00:08:36,319 Speaker 2: feeding crumbs to the ducks. How could he win? Look 162 00:08:36,360 --> 00:08:38,480 Speaker 2: at what they did in Long Island. Look at what 163 00:08:38,600 --> 00:08:42,160 Speaker 2: happens in these special elections. Look at the record in 164 00:08:42,240 --> 00:08:45,760 Speaker 2: these close contests that have happened since twenty twenty. Okay, 165 00:08:45,800 --> 00:08:48,520 Speaker 2: here's here's how the New York Times clicks. I pulled this, 166 00:08:48,640 --> 00:08:52,120 Speaker 2: you know, reading the enemy, the Enemy's playbook a little 167 00:08:52,120 --> 00:08:56,079 Speaker 2: bit here wrote about this. This is, by the way, 168 00:08:56,200 --> 00:08:59,079 Speaker 2: I know this this district very well. I've spent a 169 00:08:59,120 --> 00:09:02,200 Speaker 2: lot of time in district. It's you know, north shore 170 00:09:02,280 --> 00:09:05,640 Speaker 2: Long Island into central Long Island really and parts of 171 00:09:05,679 --> 00:09:11,079 Speaker 2: it even extend into Queens So this is quintessential suburb. 172 00:09:11,480 --> 00:09:14,680 Speaker 2: Think of it like this is a big and you know, 173 00:09:15,160 --> 00:09:18,040 Speaker 2: and and diverse suburb of the City of New York. 174 00:09:18,440 --> 00:09:22,520 Speaker 2: But Long Island overall has been trending very red in 175 00:09:22,600 --> 00:09:26,200 Speaker 2: recent years. And it was wings in Long Island that 176 00:09:26,280 --> 00:09:28,600 Speaker 2: are the reason we have well New York State more broadly, 177 00:09:28,640 --> 00:09:32,320 Speaker 2: but Long Island even more specifically. Yes, that's that's why 178 00:09:32,320 --> 00:09:35,640 Speaker 2: we have the house. And this was the Santos thing. 179 00:09:35,679 --> 00:09:38,240 Speaker 2: I should note people were saying, guys, I don't know, 180 00:09:38,400 --> 00:09:41,080 Speaker 2: you know, and he's you know, maybe we should fight 181 00:09:41,320 --> 00:09:43,200 Speaker 2: a little more on this. I think it was a 182 00:09:43,240 --> 00:09:44,920 Speaker 2: mistake to kick him out. 183 00:09:45,440 --> 00:09:48,240 Speaker 1: Yes, I mean, flat flatly, the Democrats would not have 184 00:09:48,320 --> 00:09:49,280 Speaker 1: kicked Santos out. 185 00:09:49,640 --> 00:09:51,760 Speaker 2: They would have done it. They would not have done it, 186 00:09:51,800 --> 00:09:54,080 Speaker 2: so not not under the circumstances of it being a 187 00:09:54,080 --> 00:09:56,760 Speaker 2: competitive Yeah, they'll kick somebody out, you know, if they 188 00:09:56,760 --> 00:09:58,400 Speaker 2: think it's a state where they just get to have 189 00:09:58,400 --> 00:10:00,560 Speaker 2: the governor replace the person, or or they think they've 190 00:10:00,559 --> 00:10:03,200 Speaker 2: got a lock on it. Is a very competitive district. 191 00:10:03,400 --> 00:10:07,360 Speaker 2: This is a very important race to understand because I 192 00:10:07,400 --> 00:10:09,360 Speaker 2: know right now all these people are running around and 193 00:10:09,400 --> 00:10:12,000 Speaker 2: it's become this big sport. Oh, Biden's such a clown, 194 00:10:12,080 --> 00:10:15,360 Speaker 2: and Kamala is awful, and those things are true. Oh 195 00:10:15,520 --> 00:10:17,880 Speaker 2: and I'll even put aside. Oh, but you know they'll 196 00:10:17,880 --> 00:10:20,839 Speaker 2: put somebody else in there. Whatever the case may be, Clay, 197 00:10:21,440 --> 00:10:25,520 Speaker 2: it's going to be a very close and very nasty election, 198 00:10:25,640 --> 00:10:28,920 Speaker 2: and we can lose. I view this as the if 199 00:10:28,920 --> 00:10:31,360 Speaker 2: we don't get it together, we can lose. We could 200 00:10:31,400 --> 00:10:33,440 Speaker 2: lose the House, we could lose the Senate, and we 201 00:10:33,440 --> 00:10:37,760 Speaker 2: could definitely lose the presidency. So here's why the strategy. 202 00:10:37,800 --> 00:10:40,040 Speaker 2: This is from the New York Times, and Clay, I 203 00:10:40,080 --> 00:10:42,000 Speaker 2: think we break this down more in this hour. Yes, 204 00:10:42,280 --> 00:10:45,160 Speaker 2: Mayork has got impeached. No, he will not get removed, 205 00:10:45,200 --> 00:10:48,480 Speaker 2: so we'll talk about that too. But here we go. Quote. 206 00:10:48,520 --> 00:10:52,200 Speaker 2: The strategy went something like this, Challenge Republicans on issues 207 00:10:52,240 --> 00:10:55,960 Speaker 2: they usually monopolize, like crime, taxes, and above all immigration, 208 00:10:56,559 --> 00:11:01,520 Speaker 2: flash and independent streak, fire up the Democrat base with attacks. 209 00:11:01,559 --> 00:11:08,520 Speaker 2: Nearly ten million dollars in attack ads on abortion and Trump. Clay, 210 00:11:09,240 --> 00:11:12,160 Speaker 2: this is what they will do in every state, and 211 00:11:12,200 --> 00:11:14,080 Speaker 2: this is what they're going to try to do more 212 00:11:14,160 --> 00:11:19,800 Speaker 2: generally nationwide. With Joe Biden. This guy Swazi, he ran 213 00:11:20,080 --> 00:11:23,880 Speaker 2: as an immigration hawk. He was talking about helping. He 214 00:11:23,960 --> 00:11:27,240 Speaker 2: was talking about helping to build the wall. Yeah. And 215 00:11:27,280 --> 00:11:30,079 Speaker 2: it's because people go, oh, okay, and they look, I 216 00:11:30,080 --> 00:11:34,160 Speaker 2: can talk about the pillip his opponent. It was. It 217 00:11:34,200 --> 00:11:36,680 Speaker 2: was not the obviously not the right choice. But think 218 00:11:36,720 --> 00:11:39,160 Speaker 2: about what they did. Get the base fired up by 219 00:11:39,200 --> 00:11:43,600 Speaker 2: attacking Trump, attacking abortion, and then to win the swing voters, 220 00:11:44,040 --> 00:11:46,640 Speaker 2: pretend you're not a Democrat and by the time they 221 00:11:46,640 --> 00:11:49,200 Speaker 2: figure out they've been swindled. Guess what the election's over 222 00:11:49,920 --> 00:11:50,640 Speaker 2: this district. 223 00:11:50,720 --> 00:11:53,640 Speaker 1: By the way, I know really well because I went 224 00:11:53,679 --> 00:11:58,439 Speaker 1: to college GW and all of George Washing a congressional 225 00:11:58,480 --> 00:12:02,520 Speaker 1: GW of GW guys and girls great a lot of 226 00:12:02,520 --> 00:12:05,480 Speaker 1: Great Neck, get youw a lot of date. I was 227 00:12:05,480 --> 00:12:07,440 Speaker 1: just gonna say, I dated a girl from Great Neck. 228 00:12:07,480 --> 00:12:09,319 Speaker 1: I spent a dec I dated a girl from Great Deck. 229 00:12:09,360 --> 00:12:10,880 Speaker 1: You dated a girl from Green It might have been 230 00:12:10,880 --> 00:12:11,480 Speaker 1: the same girl. 231 00:12:11,920 --> 00:12:14,600 Speaker 2: Uh we uh. I spent a lot of time up. 232 00:12:14,440 --> 00:12:18,280 Speaker 1: In that area and uh and so I feel like 233 00:12:18,360 --> 00:12:21,160 Speaker 1: I know this congressional district a little bit because again 234 00:12:21,200 --> 00:12:23,839 Speaker 1: from college and UH, and obviously we've got a huge 235 00:12:23,880 --> 00:12:27,080 Speaker 1: listenership of people right now in that district listening to 236 00:12:27,160 --> 00:12:32,280 Speaker 1: both of us. Uh on Worr, and look to hit 237 00:12:32,360 --> 00:12:34,040 Speaker 1: you with some data and we'll come back on this 238 00:12:34,080 --> 00:12:37,880 Speaker 1: a little bit more. Uh. Average household income one hundred 239 00:12:37,920 --> 00:12:41,320 Speaker 1: and thirty thousand dollars. This is a median household income. 240 00:12:41,320 --> 00:12:45,760 Speaker 1: That is a very wealthy district. Seventy percent White, fifteen 241 00:12:45,840 --> 00:12:50,640 Speaker 1: percent Asian, eleven percent Hispanic, three percent black. 242 00:12:50,720 --> 00:12:54,000 Speaker 2: This is a intessential suburban. 243 00:12:53,440 --> 00:12:57,920 Speaker 1: District that you have to win if you are going 244 00:12:57,960 --> 00:12:59,680 Speaker 1: to get elected in twenty twenty four. 245 00:12:59,720 --> 00:13:00,520 Speaker 2: And you hit it. 246 00:13:00,840 --> 00:13:05,000 Speaker 1: Trump an abortion, trumpet abortion, trumpet abortion, trumpet abortion. 247 00:13:05,160 --> 00:13:07,520 Speaker 2: That's what they're running. But that's for the base. Yes, 248 00:13:08,160 --> 00:13:10,959 Speaker 2: the other key component of this is how do they 249 00:13:11,000 --> 00:13:15,680 Speaker 2: win swing voters. They lie to you, That's how they win. 250 00:13:16,200 --> 00:13:19,800 Speaker 2: They pretend they're not Democrats. Oh I'm a maverick. I'm 251 00:13:19,800 --> 00:13:23,240 Speaker 2: an independent Democrat. You know, I'm a gun toting Democrat. 252 00:13:23,280 --> 00:13:26,760 Speaker 2: You know, whatever they do this game. And I know 253 00:13:26,880 --> 00:13:32,280 Speaker 2: people you are rolling meaning to royal you people out there, 254 00:13:32,320 --> 00:13:34,840 Speaker 2: you're rolling your eyes right now at this. But you 255 00:13:34,920 --> 00:13:38,480 Speaker 2: know it's true. You know it's true. They're going to lie, 256 00:13:38,920 --> 00:13:41,839 Speaker 2: They're going to have base turnout. And also this is 257 00:13:41,920 --> 00:13:45,040 Speaker 2: going to be a challenge because of you know, who 258 00:13:45,120 --> 00:13:48,800 Speaker 2: has more high propensity voters who will show up? I 259 00:13:48,800 --> 00:13:50,520 Speaker 2: mean you look at the turnout here. Well look, we 260 00:13:50,600 --> 00:13:53,400 Speaker 2: got to break down all this data. Yeah, this, Clay, 261 00:13:53,440 --> 00:13:55,680 Speaker 2: I think you and I see this broadly the same way. 262 00:13:56,160 --> 00:13:59,720 Speaker 2: This is a warning sign. Okay, this is a preview 263 00:13:59,800 --> 00:14:05,080 Speaker 2: of what happens in Pennsylvania, in Michigan, in key states, 264 00:14:05,160 --> 00:14:08,120 Speaker 2: and in key races from the presidency all the way down. 265 00:14:08,400 --> 00:14:10,360 Speaker 2: If the GOP doesn't wake up, you have something to 266 00:14:10,400 --> 00:14:12,560 Speaker 2: throw in the mix right now, or gave me let's 267 00:14:12,559 --> 00:14:14,480 Speaker 2: come back all day. Yeah, I think that's one hundred 268 00:14:14,480 --> 00:14:16,680 Speaker 2: percent right. We need to dive into this. Sometimes he 269 00:14:16,720 --> 00:14:18,480 Speaker 2: gives me the Clay look and I'm like, oh boy, 270 00:14:18,600 --> 00:14:21,360 Speaker 2: there's something something just happened. Someone did something in the news. 271 00:14:21,400 --> 00:14:23,040 Speaker 2: But we'll get back into all this year in just 272 00:14:23,040 --> 00:14:25,360 Speaker 2: a second.

We 306 00:16:20,760 --> 00:16:23,760 Speaker 2: got to break down what what went wrong here in 307 00:16:24,560 --> 00:16:27,120 Speaker 2: uh in this part of Long Island because the third 308 00:16:27,120 --> 00:16:30,600 Speaker 2: congressional district we lost by eight points. This is a suburb. 309 00:16:30,680 --> 00:16:33,480 Speaker 2: This is a swing district in a place that overall 310 00:16:33,680 --> 00:16:36,760 Speaker 2: was going red. One thing that comes to mind for me, 311 00:16:36,800 --> 00:16:40,240 Speaker 2: Clay and there's there's a lot here. Uh. They ran 312 00:16:40,360 --> 00:16:44,160 Speaker 2: a guy who Swazi, who could claim and did claim 313 00:16:44,360 --> 00:16:48,400 Speaker 2: vociferously to be very hawkush and immigration and on crime. 314 00:16:49,160 --> 00:16:51,480 Speaker 2: By the way, what do you think Joe Biden's going 315 00:16:51,520 --> 00:16:53,000 Speaker 2: to do all of a sudden, We're already seeing this. 316 00:16:53,080 --> 00:16:56,359 Speaker 2: They're saying they want to clean up the border. Republicans 317 00:16:56,360 --> 00:16:58,400 Speaker 2: blocked the bill. I know that, we know that that 318 00:16:58,520 --> 00:17:01,320 Speaker 2: was garbage, but this is how they play the game dirty. 319 00:17:01,680 --> 00:17:05,119 Speaker 2: The open borders. Democrats are gonna have every this is 320 00:17:05,160 --> 00:17:09,119 Speaker 2: my prediction, play including Biden. Biden's going to pretend to 321 00:17:09,160 --> 00:17:12,400 Speaker 2: be a border hawk everybody, just like in twenty twenty 322 00:17:12,600 --> 00:17:14,919 Speaker 2: he pretended to be tough on crime and it worked. 323 00:17:15,440 --> 00:17:19,399 Speaker 2: So all the stuff about Republicans are more trusted, and 324 00:17:19,480 --> 00:17:21,080 Speaker 2: we need to get our we need to get our 325 00:17:21,400 --> 00:17:25,000 Speaker 2: game face on here because the other side they're gonna 326 00:17:25,000 --> 00:17:27,640 Speaker 2: outplay us. Right now, we're just Oh, Trump is amazing. 327 00:17:27,680 --> 00:17:29,600 Speaker 2: He's a political force. He's gonna deliver us all of 328 00:17:29,680 --> 00:17:33,240 Speaker 2: our wins. He is an amazing political force.

That 360 00:19:02,320 --> 00:19:04,439 Speaker 1: is the name of the song, not a statement that 361 00:19:04,520 --> 00:19:10,680 Speaker 1: I am making interesting as we are breaking down the 362 00:19:10,800 --> 00:19:17,040 Speaker 1: Valentine's Day edition of the program, as the number of 363 00:19:17,080 --> 00:19:20,840 Speaker 1: the majority in the House has declined thanks. 364 00:19:20,520 --> 00:19:22,240 Speaker 2: To New York three. 365 00:19:22,520 --> 00:19:25,680 Speaker 1: That is the Long Eye, one of the Long Island 366 00:19:25,760 --> 00:19:31,320 Speaker 1: congressional districts just outside of Queens. It is a suburban district, 367 00:19:31,440 --> 00:19:34,879 Speaker 1: it is a high wealth district. It is a super 368 00:19:34,920 --> 00:19:41,960 Speaker 1: white and Asian district that flipped from being in Republican hands. 369 00:19:41,560 --> 00:19:42,840 Speaker 2: To Democrat hands. 370 00:19:42,920 --> 00:19:47,320 Speaker 1: And this is I think also important understanding the campaign 371 00:19:47,320 --> 00:19:50,560 Speaker 1: that's going to be run abortion and Trump abortion and 372 00:19:50,640 --> 00:19:54,399 Speaker 1: trump abortion and Trump, as Buck has said, also lies 373 00:19:54,480 --> 00:19:56,960 Speaker 1: about wanting to be strong on the border and all 374 00:19:57,000 --> 00:19:58,920 Speaker 1: these things that may well end up appealing. 375 00:19:59,080 --> 00:20:01,440 Speaker 2: And we should mention, by the way, that. 376 00:20:01,400 --> 00:20:06,359 Speaker 1: This district will be back up again for election in November, 377 00:20:07,520 --> 00:20:10,760 Speaker 1: in about eight months. People in this district are going 378 00:20:10,800 --> 00:20:15,280 Speaker 1: to start early voting for the congress person. And this 379 00:20:15,359 --> 00:20:18,680 Speaker 1: is something that I think everybody needs to listen to closely. 380 00:20:20,359 --> 00:20:29,520 Speaker 1: Republicans are pansies. Republicans are woos's. Republicans allow what the 381 00:20:29,640 --> 00:20:33,760 Speaker 1: media says to dictate the halls of Congress for CNN 382 00:20:33,800 --> 00:20:40,640 Speaker 1: and MSNBC. Democrats don't do this. They are ruthless, they 383 00:20:40,680 --> 00:20:47,000 Speaker 1: are committed, they are loyal. They still have Bob friggin 384 00:20:47,160 --> 00:20:52,879 Speaker 1: Menendez in the Senate rather than replace him, and the 385 00:20:53,040 --> 00:20:59,360 Speaker 1: allegations against Menendez are a billion times worse than anything 386 00:20:59,400 --> 00:21:01,119 Speaker 1: that has been alledged. 387 00:21:00,880 --> 00:21:05,080 Speaker 2: Against George Santos buck. They play for keeps. 388 00:21:05,600 --> 00:21:10,320 Speaker 1: Republicans far too often are the ninnies in the room 389 00:21:10,680 --> 00:21:15,560 Speaker 1: who allows themselves to be bullied into giving the Democrats 390 00:21:15,560 --> 00:21:18,800 Speaker 1: an opportunity to get a win, which is what they 391 00:21:18,920 --> 00:21:19,320 Speaker 1: just did. 392 00:21:19,800 --> 00:21:24,159 Speaker 2: So I'm loving the waves of cynicism that are just 393 00:21:24,400 --> 00:21:28,600 Speaker 2: washing over Clay and producer Ali. Today it's Valentine's and 394 00:21:28,640 --> 00:21:31,000 Speaker 2: all of a sudden, Clay sound. Clay sounds like me. 395 00:21:31,320 --> 00:21:33,800 Speaker 2: He sounds like Bill Murray and Groundhog Day when he's 396 00:21:33,800 --> 00:21:36,679 Speaker 2: had enough and he's like thousands of people gather together 397 00:21:36,760 --> 00:21:40,960 Speaker 2: to worship this, you know this fur ball? What I 398 00:21:41,000 --> 00:21:41,920 Speaker 2: am just fed up? 399 00:21:42,200 --> 00:21:45,240 Speaker 1: Like this is this, like this is so frustrating to 400 00:21:45,280 --> 00:21:48,239 Speaker 1: me that this was allowed to happen, right, And I 401 00:21:48,280 --> 00:21:52,040 Speaker 1: also believe Buck that allegations are fine. And and if 402 00:21:52,080 --> 00:21:55,280 Speaker 1: Santos wanted to run for re election in November, and 403 00:21:55,320 --> 00:21:57,800 Speaker 1: he wanted to compete in the primary, he should have that, right. 404 00:21:58,560 --> 00:22:01,560 Speaker 1: But the idea that you would rip away his seat 405 00:22:01,680 --> 00:22:05,639 Speaker 1: and just give the Democrats an opportunity to win it back. 406 00:22:05,960 --> 00:22:08,159 Speaker 1: And now this guy gets to run as an incumbent 407 00:22:08,520 --> 00:22:09,880 Speaker 1: and he probably is gonna. 408 00:22:09,640 --> 00:22:11,159 Speaker 2: Be He's gonna be tough. He's gonna be tough to 409 00:22:11,160 --> 00:22:13,680 Speaker 2: beat everybody here. But what he just ran here is 410 00:22:13,680 --> 00:22:15,480 Speaker 2: gonna be the playbook they run again, and it will 411 00:22:15,520 --> 00:22:18,480 Speaker 2: be successful. So he ran a successful campaign. He won 412 00:22:18,520 --> 00:22:21,479 Speaker 2: by eight points. I'm also gonna say it. You know 413 00:22:21,520 --> 00:22:25,399 Speaker 2: this the GOP in Long Island, which is, you know, 414 00:22:25,440 --> 00:22:28,800 Speaker 2: a pretty pretty powerful entity out there. I mean, it's 415 00:22:28,880 --> 00:22:32,760 Speaker 2: generally a group that knows what they're doing. They put 416 00:22:32,760 --> 00:22:37,160 Speaker 2: this Masi pill up in. She was effectively chosen by 417 00:22:37,160 --> 00:22:40,199 Speaker 2: party leadership. She had been a local some kind of 418 00:22:40,200 --> 00:22:44,320 Speaker 2: a you know, local politician, local rep for her in 419 00:22:44,359 --> 00:22:48,199 Speaker 2: her district, and you know, there's all this, Oh, she 420 00:22:48,280 --> 00:22:52,560 Speaker 2: has an inspiring life story and she's diverse. I hate 421 00:22:52,560 --> 00:22:54,080 Speaker 2: to be the one who has to tell people in 422 00:22:54,080 --> 00:22:57,120 Speaker 2: the GOP this because I've said it. I can't tell 423 00:22:57,119 --> 00:23:02,560 Speaker 2: you how many times, the millionth time our side, the Republicans, 424 00:23:03,080 --> 00:23:06,879 Speaker 2: get no credit or extra votes for diversity. It just 425 00:23:06,920 --> 00:23:12,320 Speaker 2: doesn't happen. No one. We put people forward of any ethnicity, 426 00:23:12,400 --> 00:23:15,440 Speaker 2: of any skin color, any religion because we think they're 427 00:23:15,560 --> 00:23:19,560 Speaker 2: the best candidate. The moment we start playing a DEI game, 428 00:23:20,200 --> 00:23:23,040 Speaker 2: all of a sudden we say, hold on, we're gonna 429 00:23:23,080 --> 00:23:25,200 Speaker 2: get more of the fill in the bland vote because 430 00:23:25,240 --> 00:23:29,200 Speaker 2: of this. It does not happen. And there's a lot 431 00:23:29,200 --> 00:23:31,800 Speaker 2: of reasons we could get into. And why is it 432 00:23:31,800 --> 00:23:34,399 Speaker 2: that you know? This is like when people start to say, oh, well, 433 00:23:34,680 --> 00:23:38,520 Speaker 2: you know if Trump has a if Trump has a 434 00:23:38,960 --> 00:23:42,080 Speaker 2: female vice president or a black vice president, it's going 435 00:23:42,119 --> 00:23:45,680 Speaker 2: to substantially change. No, it's not, it's not. It might 436 00:23:45,680 --> 00:23:47,600 Speaker 2: help on the margins a tiny bit in some of 437 00:23:47,640 --> 00:23:49,960 Speaker 2: the key states, which I know is why you Although 438 00:23:49,960 --> 00:23:51,800 Speaker 2: we don't talk about Nikky Haley anymore as a VP, 439 00:23:51,920 --> 00:23:52,159 Speaker 2: do we. 440 00:23:52,359 --> 00:23:55,040 Speaker 1: I would look, I would pick anybody as VP. I 441 00:23:55,080 --> 00:23:58,040 Speaker 1: think this is a suburban district. I think suburban women 442 00:23:58,119 --> 00:24:00,320 Speaker 1: are where you can gain, and I think people who 443 00:24:00,320 --> 00:24:02,879 Speaker 1: appeal to suburban women could make a difference on the 444 00:24:02,960 --> 00:24:04,280 Speaker 1: margins a little. 445 00:24:04,040 --> 00:24:09,080 Speaker 2: Bit as VP, but as a general rule, right, if 446 00:24:09,080 --> 00:24:14,720 Speaker 2: you are sacrificing candidate familiarity, meaning the person's been in 447 00:24:14,880 --> 00:24:17,399 Speaker 2: like this guy Squazi, he I think he got elected 448 00:24:17,400 --> 00:24:19,880 Speaker 2: for the first time in the nineties. This guy has 449 00:24:19,960 --> 00:24:23,520 Speaker 2: been a Long Island politico for almost as long as 450 00:24:23,520 --> 00:24:27,359 Speaker 2: we've been alive, so he has total recognition. He's from 451 00:24:27,400 --> 00:24:31,359 Speaker 2: the area and the GOP at a time when immigration 452 00:24:31,880 --> 00:24:35,800 Speaker 2: is the single biggest weakness that Democrats have nationally and 453 00:24:35,880 --> 00:24:38,280 Speaker 2: in Long Island, by the way, because Long Island gets 454 00:24:38,320 --> 00:24:40,240 Speaker 2: a lot of these migrants. They go to New York 455 00:24:40,240 --> 00:24:42,360 Speaker 2: City and then they spread out into the suburbs. There's 456 00:24:42,400 --> 00:24:45,720 Speaker 2: a crime problem. The migrants cause crime. Long Island has 457 00:24:46,040 --> 00:24:50,160 Speaker 2: an MS thirteen problem that has gotten actually pretty substantial 458 00:24:50,160 --> 00:24:53,520 Speaker 2: attention in recent years. It was really bad three four 459 00:24:53,560 --> 00:24:58,640 Speaker 2: years ago. And they decide to run an immigrant from 460 00:24:58,720 --> 00:25:04,399 Speaker 2: Ethiopia who does not speak English very well. Okay, you 461 00:25:04,440 --> 00:25:06,159 Speaker 2: know she speaks it, but it's it's you know, this 462 00:25:06,280 --> 00:25:09,719 Speaker 2: is a this is a hindrance. This is a challenge 463 00:25:09,760 --> 00:25:11,840 Speaker 2: for her in that Long Island district. It is not 464 00:25:11,960 --> 00:25:14,800 Speaker 2: going to help her in that Long Island district. So 465 00:25:15,440 --> 00:25:17,720 Speaker 2: you know, we sit here's like, what is it you? Yeah, 466 00:25:17,760 --> 00:25:20,320 Speaker 2: she served in the IDF. She's an impressive woman. She's 467 00:25:20,320 --> 00:25:25,159 Speaker 2: an Ethiopian Jew. I love her life story. But I'm 468 00:25:25,440 --> 00:25:27,840 Speaker 2: voting for no matter what. Right Like, I think she's great, 469 00:25:27,880 --> 00:25:30,920 Speaker 2: no matter what. They're trying to pick the person who's 470 00:25:30,960 --> 00:25:33,800 Speaker 2: going to get those suburban swing voters to go along, 471 00:25:34,440 --> 00:25:37,080 Speaker 2: and they choose an Ethiopian immigrant for whom English is 472 00:25:37,080 --> 00:25:40,240 Speaker 2: not her first language, who is not known in this 473 00:25:40,480 --> 00:25:43,399 Speaker 2: and whose policy positions are not known, and then they 474 00:25:43,480 --> 00:25:46,720 Speaker 2: just inundated her with ads. They defined her as, you know, 475 00:25:46,800 --> 00:25:50,520 Speaker 2: a Trumper who's dad on abortion and loves Trump and 476 00:25:50,600 --> 00:25:54,840 Speaker 2: Clay Game over man eight points smoked. They got smoked 477 00:25:54,840 --> 00:25:55,600 Speaker 2: in this district. 478 00:25:56,480 --> 00:26:00,239 Speaker 1: Yeah, And again I think you have to go and 479 00:26:00,280 --> 00:26:02,960 Speaker 1: look at what the data is showing you, and you 480 00:26:03,040 --> 00:26:04,360 Speaker 1: have to figure out how to win. 481 00:26:04,880 --> 00:26:06,800 Speaker 2: And one of the big challenges that is. 482 00:26:06,760 --> 00:26:08,800 Speaker 1: Out there, and we need to hammer this home and 483 00:26:09,200 --> 00:26:11,320 Speaker 1: maybe we should start saying it every day between now 484 00:26:11,359 --> 00:26:16,400 Speaker 1: and November. Vote by mail, vote in person, vote by 485 00:26:16,440 --> 00:26:22,199 Speaker 1: absentee ballot, vote early, go frigging vote like this idea 486 00:26:22,240 --> 00:26:24,640 Speaker 1: that you can only vote one way or the other. 487 00:26:25,160 --> 00:26:29,280 Speaker 1: Democrats are getting their vote harvesting done no matter what. 488 00:26:29,440 --> 00:26:32,520 Speaker 1: They aren't sitting around saying you shouldn't vote by mail, 489 00:26:32,760 --> 00:26:35,760 Speaker 1: you shouldn't vote early. Your vote's not gonna count. I 490 00:26:35,800 --> 00:26:37,679 Speaker 1: don't flip and care how you vote. 491 00:26:38,160 --> 00:26:40,680 Speaker 2: Go vote. They're gonna have buck. This is important. 492 00:26:41,080 --> 00:26:45,359 Speaker 1: By election day, they are going to have advantages of 493 00:26:45,760 --> 00:26:47,479 Speaker 1: millions of votes banked. 494 00:26:47,720 --> 00:26:50,760 Speaker 2: Do you know what happens in this district on election day? 495 00:26:51,640 --> 00:26:54,720 Speaker 2: A massive snowstorm?

You know, 531 00:28:44,480 --> 00:28:46,320 Speaker 2: I'm also gonna say this. I mean, we're all at people. 532 00:28:46,480 --> 00:28:49,560 Speaker 2: Oh but but in Arizona, you know, the printers on 533 00:28:49,640 --> 00:28:51,959 Speaker 2: election day stop working whatever. It's like. You know what, 534 00:28:52,040 --> 00:28:54,400 Speaker 2: if you vote early, not as much of a problem, 535 00:28:54,480 --> 00:28:54,600 Speaker 2: is it. 536 00:28:55,400 --> 00:28:58,960 Speaker 1: Also you can pull up if the line's not too long. 537 00:28:59,040 --> 00:29:00,280 Speaker 1: You can go back on another. 538 00:29:00,160 --> 00:29:02,200 Speaker 2: Day and go vote. I've done that before. 539 00:29:02,680 --> 00:29:04,200 Speaker 1: You know, you pull up and you're like, that line 540 00:29:04,240 --> 00:29:05,920 Speaker 1: looks a little bit long. It's a lunch break. I 541 00:29:05,960 --> 00:29:08,200 Speaker 1: don't know that I have time to go. Go get 542 00:29:08,200 --> 00:29:12,800 Speaker 1: your damn vote in early. Don't sit around and wait 543 00:29:13,320 --> 00:29:16,479 Speaker 1: till election day and then have something go awry at 544 00:29:16,520 --> 00:29:21,400 Speaker 1: your polling place. Also, by the way, that helps for 545 00:29:21,480 --> 00:29:23,840 Speaker 1: the people who do go on election day, because the 546 00:29:23,880 --> 00:29:25,960 Speaker 1: one of the things I worry about is somebody shows up. 547 00:29:26,040 --> 00:29:27,720 Speaker 1: The lines too long and they turn around and they 548 00:29:27,800 --> 00:29:29,440 Speaker 1: go back because they got to worry about picking up 549 00:29:29,440 --> 00:29:34,640 Speaker 1: a kid a daycare, or because there's some other obligation 550 00:29:34,800 --> 00:29:36,200 Speaker 1: that you have, you have to take a kid to 551 00:29:36,280 --> 00:29:41,560 Speaker 1: basketball practice or whatever it is. Get your vote in early. 552 00:29:42,520 --> 00:29:45,840 Speaker 1: Stop allowing you know, basically, in a sporting context, your buck. 553 00:29:46,360 --> 00:29:50,840 Speaker 1: We're going out and we're already down twenty one to 554 00:29:50,840 --> 00:29:54,600 Speaker 1: nothing in the Super Bowl before we even strap on 555 00:29:54,680 --> 00:29:55,440 Speaker 1: and start playing. 556 00:29:56,040 --> 00:29:59,560 Speaker 2: But I think you and I also agree that this 557 00:29:59,720 --> 00:30:04,520 Speaker 2: is wake up call for This election is a microcosm 558 00:30:05,040 --> 00:30:08,880 Speaker 2: of how we could end up losing not just control 559 00:30:08,920 --> 00:30:15,600 Speaker 2: of Congress but the presidency. Suburban close vote, swing vote, Trump, abortion, immigration, 560 00:30:15,920 --> 00:30:20,160 Speaker 2: that was the whole game when it came to policy, Trump, abortion, immigration. 561 00:30:20,240 --> 00:30:22,640 Speaker 2: How that turnout for us? They run someone who's good 562 00:30:22,640 --> 00:30:26,120 Speaker 2: on immigration, Hammer's Trump and abortion, they win the suburb. 563 00:30:26,440 --> 00:30:27,360 Speaker 2: We got a problem. 564 00:30:27,920 --> 00:30:31,160 Speaker 1: Yeah, And remember New York and Florida were the two 565 00:30:31,320 --> 00:30:36,480 Speaker 1: states that basically won the House. I know California also 566 00:30:36,640 --> 00:30:40,800 Speaker 1: was a big part here, but this is a swing district. 567 00:30:41,360 --> 00:30:43,560 Speaker 1: This is the kind of district you have to win 568 00:30:43,880 --> 00:30:46,400 Speaker 1: in order to win the presidency in twenty twenty four. 569 00:30:46,880 --> 00:30:52,080 Speaker 1: And it didn't happen, just did not happen at all. 570 00:30:52,240 --> 00:30:54,000 Speaker 1: And I think that's consequential, and I think we have 571 00:30:54,040 --> 00:30:56,840 Speaker 1: to all talk about it. Speaking of which, maybe you 572 00:30:56,880 --> 00:30:59,680 Speaker 1: need a little bit more energy.

And Buck, I'm going 663 00:35:56,320 --> 00:35:58,320 Speaker 1: to continue to be cynical I hate to be cynical. 664 00:35:58,400 --> 00:36:01,279 Speaker 1: Usually I'm the optimist on the show, but I don't 665 00:36:01,280 --> 00:36:05,720 Speaker 1: see a lot to be gained by impeaching Mayorcas. 666 00:36:05,760 --> 00:36:07,640 Speaker 2: Biden should be the target. 667 00:36:08,000 --> 00:36:10,839 Speaker 1: I'm concerned that he's just gonna cut bait on Mayorcas 668 00:36:10,840 --> 00:36:13,560 Speaker 1: and say, yeah, you know what, Mayorcus wasn't doing a 669 00:36:13,600 --> 00:36:15,760 Speaker 1: good job. I've got a new plan for the border, 670 00:36:16,160 --> 00:36:18,880 Speaker 1: and just throw him basically to the sharks. 671 00:36:19,600 --> 00:36:21,520 Speaker 2: We'll talk about this coming back here in a second, 672 00:36:21,960 --> 00:36:24,840 Speaker 2: but I can tell you this. We need to recalibrate 673 00:36:24,880 --> 00:36:29,279 Speaker 2: because we're no longer in just a base who's the 674 00:36:29,320 --> 00:36:33,400 Speaker 2: most right wing, who's the most maga contest. We gotta 675 00:36:33,440 --> 00:36:37,040 Speaker 2: be savvy and win the middle. Yeah, let's talk about it.
