1
00:00:00,360 --> 00:00:05,560
Speaker 1: What an amazing week, a massive red wave. Welcome it

2
00:00:05,680 --> 00:00:09,120
Speaker 1: is Verdict with Center, Ted Cruz, the Weekend Review, Ben

3
00:00:09,160 --> 00:00:11,520
Speaker 1: Ferguson with you, and well, you know what the big

4
00:00:11,560 --> 00:00:14,200
Speaker 1: story is. Donald Trump is the forty seventh President of

5
00:00:14,200 --> 00:00:17,279
Speaker 1: the United States of America. So let's start with this.

6
00:00:17,520 --> 00:00:21,959
Speaker 1: The silent majority made the difference in this election. The

7
00:00:22,079 --> 00:00:25,279
Speaker 1: silent majority woke up and said we are sick of

8
00:00:25,320 --> 00:00:29,920
Speaker 1: the radical extremist policies of Harris and Joe Biden. That

9
00:00:30,160 --> 00:00:33,160
Speaker 1: was the difference. Will break it down for you. Plus,

10
00:00:33,200 --> 00:00:36,720
Speaker 1: could the happiest man in America actually be Joe Biden? Well,

11
00:00:36,760 --> 00:00:39,320
Speaker 1: he was all smiles when he had his first press

12
00:00:39,320 --> 00:00:43,680
Speaker 1: conference talking and promising a smooth transition of power to

13
00:00:44,200 --> 00:00:47,520
Speaker 1: Donald Trump after they forced him out of the White House,

14
00:00:47,680 --> 00:00:52,440
Speaker 1: and finally Elon Musk all up in a Trump campaign,

15
00:00:52,600 --> 00:00:55,200
Speaker 1: and now he could be bringing some of his magic

16
00:00:55,640 --> 00:00:58,360
Speaker 1: to the White House. It's the week in Review and

17
00:00:58,400 --> 00:01:03,080
Speaker 1: it starts right now. Senator. Let's also just talk about

18
00:01:04,560 --> 00:01:08,160
Speaker 1: I think the silent majority was sick and tired of

19
00:01:08,200 --> 00:01:11,680
Speaker 1: being dictated to and yelled at and called hitler and

20
00:01:11,760 --> 00:01:15,120
Speaker 1: called garbage. I think that played into this race for

21
00:01:15,280 --> 00:01:18,440
Speaker 1: the first time a Republican has won the popular vote

22
00:01:18,440 --> 00:01:22,400
Speaker 1: in two decades, twenty plus years. If that doesn't feel

23
00:01:22,400 --> 00:01:25,959
Speaker 1: like vindication, I don't know what is. But this was

24
00:01:26,000 --> 00:01:28,880
Speaker 1: a moment where Americans stood up to the media. They

25
00:01:28,959 --> 00:01:31,960
Speaker 1: stood up to the Taylor Swifts and the Beyonces and

26
00:01:32,080 --> 00:01:36,240
Speaker 1: the George Cloonies of the world and all these radicals

27
00:01:36,240 --> 00:01:38,760
Speaker 1: in the media and said, no, no, I'm not going to

28
00:01:38,800 --> 00:01:40,840
Speaker 1: be quiet. I'm not going to be told them a racist,

29
00:01:40,840 --> 00:01:42,720
Speaker 1: are a bigot, because I set up for my traditional

30
00:01:42,800 --> 00:01:43,679
Speaker 1: values and.

31
00:01:43,640 --> 00:01:46,440
Speaker 2: You're not going to bully me anymore. This is massive.

32
00:01:48,240 --> 00:01:50,440
Speaker 2: I think you're exactly right. It turns out it is

33
00:01:50,480 --> 00:01:56,000
Speaker 2: a bad electoral strategy to insult and condescend and treat

34
00:01:56,040 --> 00:01:59,400
Speaker 2: the voters like crap. And that's what the Democrats. Look

35
00:01:59,440 --> 00:02:02,640
Speaker 2: at the last two weeks. You had Kamala Harris launch

36
00:02:02,720 --> 00:02:06,480
Speaker 2: their strategy of calling Donald Trump hitler. You then had

37
00:02:06,560 --> 00:02:10,799
Speaker 2: Joe Biden calling half of America pieces of garbage. And

38
00:02:10,840 --> 00:02:13,880
Speaker 2: you then had Mark Cuban on behalf of Kamala Harris,

39
00:02:13,960 --> 00:02:17,480
Speaker 2: her top surrogate, go out and insult women and say

40
00:02:17,480 --> 00:02:20,359
Speaker 2: there are no smart and strong women voting for Donald Trump.

41
00:02:20,400 --> 00:02:24,920
Speaker 2: That combination, look, I got to tell you, I've run

42
00:02:24,919 --> 00:02:27,800
Speaker 2: in a lot of elections. I've never found that insulting

43
00:02:27,840 --> 00:02:31,600
Speaker 2: the voters is a smart electoral strategy. And it was

44
00:02:31,639 --> 00:02:34,520
Speaker 2: a little bizarre to see the Democrats go all in

45
00:02:34,600 --> 00:02:34,880
Speaker 2: on that.

46
00:02:35,480 --> 00:02:37,959
Speaker 1: Yeah, it didn't work and it was a failure. There.

47
00:02:38,320 --> 00:02:42,200
Speaker 1: Let's talk about what happens in the Senate, because I

48
00:02:42,240 --> 00:02:44,200
Speaker 1: think this goes back to how important it was with

49
00:02:44,280 --> 00:02:46,600
Speaker 1: your race and the fact that you were able to

50
00:02:46,639 --> 00:02:49,079
Speaker 1: win by such a large margin over already there was

51
00:02:49,120 --> 00:02:51,240
Speaker 1: an incredible amount of money. We didn't get talk about

52
00:02:51,280 --> 00:02:53,799
Speaker 1: this on Verdicts, as we mentioned earlier, but there was

53
00:02:53,800 --> 00:02:56,799
Speaker 1: an incredible amount of money and Chuck Schumer, you were

54
00:02:56,840 --> 00:02:59,919
Speaker 1: his number one target. They came after you. They based

55
00:03:00,280 --> 00:03:02,280
Speaker 1: kind of pulled away from this race a little bit

56
00:03:02,320 --> 00:03:06,920
Speaker 1: financially after you just wiped him during the debate. Congratulations

57
00:03:06,960 --> 00:03:08,520
Speaker 1: on that something we didn't get to talk about on

58
00:03:08,560 --> 00:03:11,120
Speaker 1: the show. But if people are boring, they're junkies like

59
00:03:11,200 --> 00:03:12,679
Speaker 1: I am, and you want to watch one hell of

60
00:03:12,720 --> 00:03:14,960
Speaker 1: a debate, go watch Center Cruise and they all read debate.

61
00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:19,200
Speaker 1: It was unbelievable and that shifted the race financially. But

62
00:03:19,280 --> 00:03:22,320
Speaker 1: the amount of money that came in from outside to

63
00:03:22,520 --> 00:03:26,080
Speaker 1: try to turn Texas into a liberal state. But at

64
00:03:26,080 --> 00:03:29,480
Speaker 1: the end of the day, Republicans are closer to flipping

65
00:03:29,520 --> 00:03:33,640
Speaker 1: New York in Texas. And that is a data point

66
00:03:33,680 --> 00:03:35,280
Speaker 1: as well that I think you got to look at.

67
00:03:35,520 --> 00:03:38,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, no, no, that's exactly right. I will say the debate.

68
00:03:38,920 --> 00:03:42,920
Speaker 2: The debate was ridiculous fun. I loved that debate. I

69
00:03:42,920 --> 00:03:44,560
Speaker 2: had a lot of fun doing it, and I think it

70
00:03:44,600 --> 00:03:50,440
Speaker 2: went well. I will look this race. Chuck Schumer was

71
00:03:50,480 --> 00:03:54,080
Speaker 2: explicit that I was his number one target in the country,

72
00:03:54,680 --> 00:03:59,040
Speaker 2: and they flooded cash into the state of Texas. This

73
00:03:59,200 --> 00:04:02,320
Speaker 2: race was the single most expensive Senate race in the

74
00:04:02,440 --> 00:04:06,560
Speaker 2: entire country. It will end up being nearly a quarter

75
00:04:06,880 --> 00:04:10,040
Speaker 2: billion dollars. Nearly two hundred and fifty million dollars will

76
00:04:10,040 --> 00:04:14,200
Speaker 2: have been spent on both sides in this race. That

77
00:04:15,000 --> 00:04:20,080
Speaker 2: ain't cheap. Schumer poured well over one hundred million into

78
00:04:20,080 --> 00:04:21,839
Speaker 2: the race. And I got to say one of my

79
00:04:21,920 --> 00:04:24,240
Speaker 2: more fun things that I enjoyed doing last night at

80
00:04:24,279 --> 00:04:28,120
Speaker 2: the election night speech, as I took the opportunity to

81
00:04:28,600 --> 00:04:31,920
Speaker 2: thank Schumer, I said, thanks, Chuck, we may have won

82
00:04:32,040 --> 00:04:35,279
Speaker 2: a couple more Senate seats tonight because you wasted so

83
00:04:35,360 --> 00:04:37,720
Speaker 2: much money in the state of Texas. So I appreciate that,

84
00:04:38,480 --> 00:04:41,839
Speaker 2: and it I got to say, I guarantee you there's

85
00:04:41,839 --> 00:04:45,360
Speaker 2: some Democrats who are second guessing that, who are questioning

86
00:04:45,360 --> 00:04:47,400
Speaker 2: did that make any sense just to pour the money

87
00:04:47,400 --> 00:04:51,200
Speaker 2: into Texas and lose the states they lost.

88
00:04:52,480 --> 00:04:55,080
Speaker 1: You talk about the Senate agenda moving forward. Obviously the

89
00:04:55,080 --> 00:04:57,520
Speaker 1: border is going to be something very quick. But there

90
00:04:57,560 --> 00:04:59,560
Speaker 1: are some new ideas that have come out of this

91
00:04:59,600 --> 00:05:02,599
Speaker 1: Trump campaign that connected with voters. A great example is

92
00:05:03,320 --> 00:05:06,799
Speaker 1: Elon Musk and Trump talking about, Hey, retired people should

93
00:05:06,800 --> 00:05:09,440
Speaker 1: be completely tax exempt. They've already paid their taxes. We

94
00:05:09,520 --> 00:05:13,120
Speaker 1: need to stop taxing Social Security benefits. Some of these

95
00:05:13,160 --> 00:05:17,080
Speaker 1: common sense things. What are the chances that some of

96
00:05:17,120 --> 00:05:19,960
Speaker 1: these ideas that connected with the American people? No taxes

97
00:05:20,000 --> 00:05:24,000
Speaker 1: on tips is another example, will turn into a reality

98
00:05:24,839 --> 00:05:26,760
Speaker 1: if we have the House and Senate or is that's

99
00:05:26,800 --> 00:05:28,760
Speaker 1: still going to be a really tough thing to get done.

100
00:05:29,360 --> 00:05:31,240
Speaker 2: Look, if we have the House, I think we'll get

101
00:05:31,240 --> 00:05:34,839
Speaker 2: it done. No taxes on Tips. I'm the author of

102
00:05:34,880 --> 00:05:37,880
Speaker 2: that legislation in the Senate. When I introduced it, it

103
00:05:37,960 --> 00:05:42,320
Speaker 2: was interesting. It's bipartisan legislation, both of the Democrat senators

104
00:05:42,320 --> 00:05:45,760
Speaker 2: from Nevada joined almost immediately. They told me twenty five

105
00:05:45,800 --> 00:05:48,120
Speaker 2: percent of the workers in Nevada are tipped workers, and

106
00:05:48,440 --> 00:05:54,200
Speaker 2: so they jumped on immediately. If we have the House,

107
00:05:54,279 --> 00:05:56,200
Speaker 2: I think it will be part of the tax cuts,

108
00:05:56,240 --> 00:05:59,440
Speaker 2: no taxes on tips. I also think we'll get it done.

109
00:05:59,440 --> 00:06:02,160
Speaker 2: No taxes on Social Security. That is a little bit

110
00:06:02,200 --> 00:06:04,799
Speaker 2: harder to do because in terms of the budgetary cost,

111
00:06:04,839 --> 00:06:08,200
Speaker 2: it's not cheap, and so the negotiations back and forth

112
00:06:08,600 --> 00:06:11,240
Speaker 2: there'll be some bumps on that. But the President is

113
00:06:11,279 --> 00:06:13,279
Speaker 2: pushing for it. I'm strongly in favor of it. I

114
00:06:13,279 --> 00:06:15,479
Speaker 2: think we'll get it done as part of the tax cuts.

115
00:06:15,920 --> 00:06:20,839
Speaker 2: Both of those are big, big important policy ideas. And listen,

116
00:06:20,839 --> 00:06:22,560
Speaker 2: in terms of the Senate, let's break down where we

117
00:06:22,600 --> 00:06:25,200
Speaker 2: stand on the Senate right now. So we went into

118
00:06:25,279 --> 00:06:28,559
Speaker 2: last night with the Democrats having a fifty one forty

119
00:06:28,640 --> 00:06:33,000
Speaker 2: nine majority. As of right now, Republicans have fifty two.

120
00:06:33,120 --> 00:06:36,640
Speaker 2: So we have three pickups that are clear. One of

121
00:06:36,680 --> 00:06:38,920
Speaker 2: them is West Virginia. We knew that was one hundred percent.

122
00:06:39,279 --> 00:06:43,480
Speaker 2: And so Jim Justice, the governor, is going to now

123
00:06:43,520 --> 00:06:45,919
Speaker 2: be the Senator. He's going to replace Joe Manchin, the

124
00:06:45,960 --> 00:06:49,679
Speaker 2: Democrats basically conceded West Virginia once Joe Manchin wasn't running.

125
00:06:49,720 --> 00:06:51,960
Speaker 2: There wasn't a Democrat alive who could win West Virginia.

126
00:06:51,960 --> 00:06:55,120
Speaker 2: They conceded that the two others that we have won

127
00:06:55,240 --> 00:06:59,720
Speaker 2: are Montana and Ohio. Montana was John Tester. Montana is

128
00:06:59,720 --> 00:07:02,320
Speaker 2: a bright red state and Tim Shee He just just

129
00:07:02,400 --> 00:07:05,960
Speaker 2: beat Tester. That's a victory we thought was quite likely

130
00:07:06,920 --> 00:07:11,360
Speaker 2: and it happened. Montana is too red a state to

131
00:07:11,400 --> 00:07:16,000
Speaker 2: be represented by a Democrat. Ohio, likewise, Sharett Brown was

132
00:07:16,520 --> 00:07:19,840
Speaker 2: beaten by Bernie Moreno last night. That's a great victory.

133
00:07:19,840 --> 00:07:23,120
Speaker 2: That was a hard fought victory. I'll tell you Shared

134
00:07:23,160 --> 00:07:26,240
Speaker 2: Brown and John Tester two the very best politicians in

135
00:07:26,280 --> 00:07:30,160
Speaker 2: the country. You don't get elected counter to the way

136
00:07:30,240 --> 00:07:33,960
Speaker 2: your state generally votes unless you're really really talented. And

137
00:07:35,000 --> 00:07:38,560
Speaker 2: you know, John Tester with a flat top haircut, Nate figures.

138
00:07:38,600 --> 00:07:41,000
Speaker 2: He seemed like a big, old fat Montana rancher that

139
00:07:41,160 --> 00:07:43,200
Speaker 2: just was a regular guy, and it got him elected

140
00:07:43,320 --> 00:07:46,360
Speaker 2: even when Trump was carrying the state and Republicans were

141
00:07:46,400 --> 00:07:49,400
Speaker 2: carrying the state in past years. SAME's true in Ohio,

142
00:07:49,440 --> 00:07:52,960
Speaker 2: where Shared Brown seemed like just a regular guy. At

143
00:07:53,000 --> 00:07:55,960
Speaker 2: the Union Hall, and there were voters in Ohio that

144
00:07:56,000 --> 00:08:00,080
Speaker 2: were voting Donald Trump shared Brown. Now both Brown and

145
00:08:00,120 --> 00:08:03,960
Speaker 2: Tester vote like communists, they vote like Chuck Schumer, but

146
00:08:05,160 --> 00:08:07,600
Speaker 2: they're very good character actors, and when they're back at

147
00:08:07,600 --> 00:08:12,280
Speaker 2: home they pretended not to. Those two victories ensure that

148
00:08:12,360 --> 00:08:15,200
Speaker 2: we have the majority in the Senate. And then on

149
00:08:15,240 --> 00:08:18,520
Speaker 2: top of that, right now we have four other possibilities.

150
00:08:18,520 --> 00:08:21,920
Speaker 2: We had one hard loss. We did not win Wisconsin.

151
00:08:21,960 --> 00:08:24,080
Speaker 2: We were leading a good chunk of the night. Eric

152
00:08:24,120 --> 00:08:29,000
Speaker 2: Hoved was narrowly leading Tammy Baldwin's Wisconsin's now been called

153
00:08:29,000 --> 00:08:32,680
Speaker 2: for the Democrats. So assuming those numbers are right, it

154
00:08:32,720 --> 00:08:35,800
Speaker 2: looks like we did not win Wisconsin in the Senate,

155
00:08:35,800 --> 00:08:40,400
Speaker 2: although Trump won Wisconsin and the presidential Right now, we

156
00:08:40,520 --> 00:08:46,520
Speaker 2: have a shot at winning Pennsylvania, Michigan, Nevada, and Arizona,

157
00:08:46,520 --> 00:08:50,000
Speaker 2: and all of those are uncalled right now. And here

158
00:08:50,040 --> 00:08:54,280
Speaker 2: are the numbers. Pennsylvania right now, Dave McCormick, the Republican

159
00:08:54,360 --> 00:08:58,680
Speaker 2: is leading forty eight point nine percent to forty eight

160
00:08:58,720 --> 00:09:06,560
Speaker 2: point five percent, so it's really really close. Michigan. Michigan

161
00:09:06,679 --> 00:09:09,440
Speaker 2: right now, the Democrat is leading forty eight point six

162
00:09:09,480 --> 00:09:12,960
Speaker 2: percent to forty eight point three percent, so we are

163
00:09:13,080 --> 00:09:17,280
Speaker 2: down by point three percent both Pennsylvania and Michigan. Ninety

164
00:09:17,320 --> 00:09:22,560
Speaker 2: seven percent of the vote is in Nevada. Nevada right now,

165
00:09:22,880 --> 00:09:26,160
Speaker 2: the Republican Sam Brown is leading forty seven point five

166
00:09:26,200 --> 00:09:30,200
Speaker 2: percent to forty seven percent. That would be a flip

167
00:09:32,000 --> 00:09:34,760
Speaker 2: if we won Nevada. Eighty eight percent of the vote

168
00:09:34,800 --> 00:09:39,040
Speaker 2: is in there. And then Arizona, Arizona. Right now, this

169
00:09:39,120 --> 00:09:42,400
Speaker 2: is probably it's the furthest distance we have to have

170
00:09:42,440 --> 00:09:46,680
Speaker 2: to climb. The Democrat is leading fifty point four percent

171
00:09:47,200 --> 00:09:51,400
Speaker 2: to forty seven point seven percent, so it's three points

172
00:09:51,400 --> 00:09:54,920
Speaker 2: that we need to pick up, almost three points. Now,

173
00:09:55,240 --> 00:09:58,080
Speaker 2: only sixty three percent of the vote is in in Arizona,

174
00:09:58,080 --> 00:10:01,880
Speaker 2: and it's a Merica Copa County. It's the suburbs of

175
00:10:02,320 --> 00:10:05,640
Speaker 2: Phoenix that are still counting. So look, it is certainly

176
00:10:06,280 --> 00:10:09,760
Speaker 2: possible that we win Arizona. Trump has won Arizona, but

177
00:10:09,920 --> 00:10:12,120
Speaker 2: three points is a bigger margin to close than the

178
00:10:12,120 --> 00:10:14,240
Speaker 2: other states. And so all four of those we're going

179
00:10:14,280 --> 00:10:14,920
Speaker 2: to wait and see.

180
00:10:15,840 --> 00:10:19,480
Speaker 1: Let's talk finally about the takeaways from the media, and

181
00:10:19,520 --> 00:10:22,760
Speaker 1: I'll go back to what I said earlier. Donald Trump

182
00:10:22,840 --> 00:10:26,559
Speaker 1: trumped them all. He trumped the Democrats, he trumped the globalists,

183
00:10:26,559 --> 00:10:30,120
Speaker 1: he trumped the deep state, he trumped the news media.

184
00:10:30,760 --> 00:10:35,480
Speaker 1: They're still having meltdowns. This morning, The View, the girls

185
00:10:35,480 --> 00:10:37,000
Speaker 1: on the View, the ladies in the View came out

186
00:10:37,000 --> 00:10:41,199
Speaker 1: wearing black like it was a funeral, mental health crisis.

187
00:10:41,320 --> 00:10:45,559
Speaker 1: MSNBC's O'donald Trash as the Founding Fathers called the electoral

188
00:10:45,559 --> 00:10:50,440
Speaker 1: College voter suppression. This morning, Joy Reid at MSNBC said,

189
00:10:50,480 --> 00:10:56,240
Speaker 1: Florid extreme right wing fascist state now officially Van Jones

190
00:10:56,280 --> 00:10:58,320
Speaker 1: came out and started playing the race card in the

191
00:10:58,360 --> 00:11:02,600
Speaker 1: gender card. Stewart had a total meltdown on his show,

192
00:11:03,640 --> 00:11:07,319
Speaker 1: and this is just what we're seeing in the moments

193
00:11:07,520 --> 00:11:12,960
Speaker 1: after a Trump victory. It's like they didn't learn their lesson.

194
00:11:13,520 --> 00:11:15,559
Speaker 1: I mean, you would think they would take away and go, okay,

195
00:11:15,600 --> 00:11:18,120
Speaker 1: what did we do wrong. They're not stopping.

196
00:11:19,600 --> 00:11:23,120
Speaker 2: You know, look, we'll see what happens. I think there

197
00:11:23,200 --> 00:11:26,000
Speaker 2: right now, there's a lot of blaming of Kamala for

198
00:11:26,080 --> 00:11:28,640
Speaker 2: being a terrible candidate. There's a lot of blaming of

199
00:11:28,760 --> 00:11:34,880
Speaker 2: Joe Biden for having been essentially unconscious for several years.

200
00:11:37,600 --> 00:11:43,240
Speaker 2: I don't see the Democrats right now taking responsibility for gosh,

201
00:11:43,960 --> 00:11:48,040
Speaker 2: we advocated an agenda that was horrible for America. You know,

202
00:11:48,080 --> 00:11:52,599
Speaker 2: there used to be Senate moderates among the Democrats. I

203
00:11:53,160 --> 00:11:56,959
Speaker 2: don't know of any Senate moderates left. The only two

204
00:11:57,200 --> 00:11:59,920
Speaker 2: arguable ones where Joe Manchin and Kirsten Cinemon. They're both

205
00:12:00,120 --> 00:12:04,720
Speaker 2: on and and so that that dynamic. You know you

206
00:12:04,720 --> 00:12:09,160
Speaker 2: you look at I would love to see some Democrats

207
00:12:09,240 --> 00:12:13,960
Speaker 2: recalibrate and say, let's move to the middle. But but

208
00:12:14,080 --> 00:12:17,200
Speaker 2: I think right now they're just emoting. They're just engaged

209
00:12:17,240 --> 00:12:24,160
Speaker 2: in a in a combination of rage and shock and disbelieve. Look,

210
00:12:25,360 --> 00:12:28,360
Speaker 2: you know you and I talked about Mark Halprin, he

211
00:12:28,440 --> 00:12:30,160
Speaker 2: used to be the head of political news at ABC,

212
00:12:30,360 --> 00:12:33,920
Speaker 2: did an interview with Tucker Carlson where Halprin said that

213
00:12:33,960 --> 00:12:38,240
Speaker 2: he thought there would be real mental health crises and

214
00:12:38,240 --> 00:12:41,560
Speaker 2: and violence from the left if Trump won. That that

215
00:12:41,600 --> 00:12:45,600
Speaker 2: he was laying out the case that that those of

216
00:12:45,679 --> 00:12:49,319
Speaker 2: us not afflicted with Trump derangement syndrome do not understand

217
00:12:49,679 --> 00:12:53,360
Speaker 2: just how much of a meltdown this will be. I look,

218
00:12:53,400 --> 00:12:56,360
Speaker 2: I hope we don't go there, but but I do

219
00:12:56,440 --> 00:13:01,440
Speaker 2: think I don't see many Democrats willing to to to

220
00:13:01,480 --> 00:13:02,840
Speaker 2: repent and change their ways.

221
00:13:03,640 --> 00:13:06,040
Speaker 1: Now, if you want to hear the rest of this conversation,

222
00:13:06,280 --> 00:13:08,640
Speaker 1: you can go back and listen to the full podcast

223
00:13:08,679 --> 00:13:13,520
Speaker 1: from earlier this week. Now onto story number two. You know,

224
00:13:13,600 --> 00:13:16,199
Speaker 1: one of the things that's also interesting about this conversation

225
00:13:16,559 --> 00:13:20,720
Speaker 1: is the fact that Democrats who said, well, you know,

226
00:13:20,760 --> 00:13:23,880
Speaker 1: we were trying to say democracy were screwed. Now we

227
00:13:23,960 --> 00:13:26,800
Speaker 1: got to dictator a tyrant coming in, are actually the

228
00:13:26,800 --> 00:13:30,320
Speaker 1: ones acting like that. Governor Newsom has already come out

229
00:13:30,400 --> 00:13:34,520
Speaker 1: saying I'm calling a special session to prep the battle

230
00:13:34,600 --> 00:13:40,440
Speaker 1: against incoming Trump administration, calling it a special legislative session

231
00:13:40,520 --> 00:13:45,360
Speaker 1: focus on potential state litigation against the Trump administration over

232
00:13:45,480 --> 00:13:48,319
Speaker 1: issues that could impact his state.

233
00:13:49,920 --> 00:13:52,080
Speaker 2: Look, they're going to resist on every front. They're going

234
00:13:52,120 --> 00:13:56,600
Speaker 2: to fight because why because they hate democracy. That's the irony.

235
00:13:57,080 --> 00:14:00,440
Speaker 2: They talk about democracy constantly, but what they mean momocracy

236
00:14:00,520 --> 00:14:02,760
Speaker 2: is we will force you to obey us, whether or

237
00:14:02,840 --> 00:14:05,040
Speaker 2: not the voters want it. They don't actually want democracy.

238
00:14:05,080 --> 00:14:07,120
Speaker 2: If they want a democracy, they wouldn't have prosecuted Trump

239
00:14:07,160 --> 00:14:09,160
Speaker 2: four different times because they would have trusted the voters.

240
00:14:09,640 --> 00:14:14,199
Speaker 2: They like power, and they mask their lust for power

241
00:14:14,240 --> 00:14:17,160
Speaker 2: in calling it democracy. But I gotta say, there's at

242
00:14:17,240 --> 00:14:20,160
Speaker 2: least one Democrat right now who is celebrating, who is

243
00:14:20,280 --> 00:14:24,560
Speaker 2: smiling ear to ear, who may well be the happiest

244
00:14:24,560 --> 00:14:27,440
Speaker 2: man in the world, and that would be Joseph Robinette Biden.

245
00:14:29,360 --> 00:14:32,680
Speaker 2: He is joyful. And I'm going to wager you twenty

246
00:14:32,680 --> 00:14:36,640
Speaker 2: bucks that Joe Biden and Jill Biden they both pulled

247
00:14:36,680 --> 00:14:38,920
Speaker 2: the lever for Donald Trump when they voted on Tuesday.

248
00:14:40,280 --> 00:14:42,920
Speaker 1: It wouldn't surprise me because if you go back to

249
00:14:43,000 --> 00:14:47,760
Speaker 1: this coup, and to quickly remind people, it was the

250
00:14:47,800 --> 00:14:51,480
Speaker 1: Democratic mafia and the fam the five families, it was

251
00:14:51,520 --> 00:14:58,440
Speaker 1: the Schumer, Pelosi, Obama Clinton's that were in this and Harris,

252
00:14:59,000 --> 00:15:02,800
Speaker 1: those five families had a coup. I think they probably

253
00:15:02,840 --> 00:15:05,240
Speaker 1: threatened him with a twenty fifth amendment if you don't

254
00:15:05,280 --> 00:15:07,720
Speaker 1: step aside, we're gonna do this too, because we don't

255
00:15:07,760 --> 00:15:09,440
Speaker 1: want to lose, and we think we can win. With

256
00:15:09,520 --> 00:15:13,280
Speaker 1: Harris and Joe Biden. I have not seen him have

257
00:15:13,360 --> 00:15:16,200
Speaker 1: a bigger grin on his face when he did this

258
00:15:16,520 --> 00:15:20,960
Speaker 1: Rose Garden conversation. Whatever. Well, look the whole thing started.

259
00:15:21,000 --> 00:15:23,640
Speaker 2: I mean, I think Biden found out about it when

260
00:15:23,680 --> 00:15:26,840
Speaker 2: he woke up with his dog Major's head in his bed,

261
00:15:27,840 --> 00:15:31,560
Speaker 2: and he was just screaming and screaming and screaming. And

262
00:15:31,600 --> 00:15:33,400
Speaker 2: for those of y'all too young to get the reference,

263
00:15:33,440 --> 00:15:37,200
Speaker 2: that's a reference to The Godfather, where where the movie

264
00:15:37,240 --> 00:15:41,320
Speaker 2: producer who refuses to cast a young Frank Sinatra has

265
00:15:41,360 --> 00:15:46,000
Speaker 2: this this prize race horse that that the Godfather decapitates

266
00:15:46,040 --> 00:15:49,120
Speaker 2: and puts the horse's head in the bed. And it

267
00:15:49,200 --> 00:15:52,080
Speaker 2: really was. It was the five families they met and

268
00:15:52,120 --> 00:15:56,120
Speaker 2: they said, mister Biden, your services are no longer needed.

269
00:15:56,840 --> 00:16:00,200
Speaker 2: And and you know what I think Joe Biden is.

270
00:16:00,400 --> 00:16:02,480
Speaker 2: I don't think it's an accident that Joe Biden put

271
00:16:02,480 --> 00:16:05,120
Speaker 2: on a Maga hat in the middle of the election.

272
00:16:05,360 --> 00:16:07,720
Speaker 2: I do not think it is an accident that Jill

273
00:16:07,840 --> 00:16:10,320
Speaker 2: Biden when she went to vote, dressed in all read

274
00:16:11,320 --> 00:16:14,800
Speaker 2: I think that was quite deliberate. But listen to Joe Biden.

275
00:16:14,880 --> 00:16:19,840
Speaker 2: Listen to the joy that he is emanating today.

276
00:16:20,120 --> 00:16:22,960
Speaker 1: Now take a listen to Joe Biden. And I'll say

277
00:16:22,960 --> 00:16:25,200
Speaker 1: it again. When he came out, he was grinning from

278
00:16:25,280 --> 00:16:27,040
Speaker 1: ear to ear in the Rose Garden.

279
00:16:27,920 --> 00:16:31,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's good to see you all, particularly good to

280
00:16:31,080 --> 00:16:34,000
Speaker 3: see my granddaughter sitting in the front row here. Hi

281
00:16:34,080 --> 00:16:37,040
Speaker 3: Van how are you, honey. For over two hundred years,

282
00:16:38,040 --> 00:16:42,440
Speaker 3: America has carried out the greatest experiment in self government

283
00:16:42,840 --> 00:16:46,320
Speaker 3: and history of the world. That's not hyperbole, that's a fact.

284
00:16:47,520 --> 00:16:48,160
Speaker 2: For the people.

285
00:16:48,600 --> 00:16:51,520
Speaker 3: The people vote and choose their own leaders, and they

286
00:16:51,520 --> 00:16:54,440
Speaker 3: do it peacefully, and we're in a democracy.

287
00:16:55,200 --> 00:16:56,080
Speaker 1: The will of the.

288
00:16:56,040 --> 00:17:02,160
Speaker 3: People always prevails. Yesterday, I spoke with President elect Trump

289
00:17:02,760 --> 00:17:06,280
Speaker 3: to congratulate him on his victory, and I assured him

290
00:17:06,760 --> 00:17:10,240
Speaker 3: I direct my entire administration to work with his team

291
00:17:10,640 --> 00:17:15,280
Speaker 3: to ensure a peaceful and orderly transition. That's what the

292
00:17:15,320 --> 00:17:20,760
Speaker 3: American people deserve. Yesterday I also spoke with Vice President Harris.

293
00:17:21,840 --> 00:17:25,920
Speaker 3: She's been a partner and a public servant. She ran

294
00:17:25,960 --> 00:17:29,360
Speaker 3: an inspiring campaign and everyone got to see something that

295
00:17:29,440 --> 00:17:32,920
Speaker 3: I learned early on to respect so much her character.

296
00:17:34,080 --> 00:17:36,920
Speaker 3: She has a backbone like a rammod. She has great character,

297
00:17:37,040 --> 00:17:41,360
Speaker 3: true character. She gave her whole heart and effort, and

298
00:17:41,400 --> 00:17:43,359
Speaker 3: she and her entire team should be proud of the

299
00:17:43,400 --> 00:17:48,720
Speaker 3: campaign they ran. You know, the struggle for the soul

300
00:17:48,720 --> 00:17:53,520
Speaker 3: of America since our very founding has always been an

301
00:17:53,600 --> 00:17:59,359
Speaker 3: ongoing debate and still vital today. I know for some

302
00:17:59,520 --> 00:18:03,080
Speaker 3: people it's a time for victory to state the obvious.

303
00:18:03,520 --> 00:18:08,240
Speaker 3: For others, it's a time of loss. Campaigns, your contest

304
00:18:09,000 --> 00:18:13,440
Speaker 3: of competing visions. The country chooses one or the other.

305
00:18:14,720 --> 00:18:19,440
Speaker 3: We accept the choice the country made. I've said many times,

306
00:18:20,320 --> 00:18:25,359
Speaker 3: you can't love your country only when you win. You

307
00:18:25,480 --> 00:18:31,479
Speaker 3: can't love your neighbor only when you agree something. I

308
00:18:31,480 --> 00:18:34,040
Speaker 3: hope we can do no matter who you voted for,

309
00:18:35,080 --> 00:18:39,160
Speaker 3: they see each other not as adversaries, but as fellow Americans.

310
00:18:39,880 --> 00:18:43,400
Speaker 3: Bring down the temperature. I also hope we can later

311
00:18:43,520 --> 00:18:47,840
Speaker 3: rest the question about the integrity of the American electoral system.

312
00:18:48,240 --> 00:18:52,560
Speaker 3: It is honest, it is fair, and it is transparent,

313
00:18:54,280 --> 00:18:58,720
Speaker 3: and it can be trusted win or lose. I also

314
00:18:58,760 --> 00:19:02,399
Speaker 3: hope we can restore their respect for all our election

315
00:19:02,520 --> 00:19:05,600
Speaker 3: workers who busted their next and took risks at the outset.

316
00:19:06,920 --> 00:19:10,840
Speaker 3: We should thank them, thank them for staffing voting sites,

317
00:19:11,320 --> 00:19:14,879
Speaker 3: counting the votes, protecting the very integrity of the election.

318
00:19:16,119 --> 00:19:19,760
Speaker 3: Many of them are volunteers who do it simply out

319
00:19:19,800 --> 00:19:24,080
Speaker 3: of love for their country and as they did as

320
00:19:24,119 --> 00:19:27,159
Speaker 3: they did their duty as citizens. I will do my

321
00:19:27,320 --> 00:19:32,040
Speaker 3: duty as president. I'll fulfill my oath, and I wanted

322
00:19:32,119 --> 00:19:37,400
Speaker 3: the Constitution. On January twentieth, we'll have a peaceful transfer

323
00:19:37,440 --> 00:19:43,480
Speaker 3: of power here in America. To all our incredible staff, supporters,

324
00:19:43,560 --> 00:19:45,560
Speaker 3: Captinet members, all the people who have been hanging out

325
00:19:45,560 --> 00:19:46,840
Speaker 3: with me for the last forty years.

326
00:19:46,880 --> 00:19:47,399
Speaker 1: God love you.

327
00:19:47,440 --> 00:19:50,439
Speaker 3: As my mother would say, thank you so much. You

328
00:19:50,520 --> 00:19:53,119
Speaker 3: put so much into the past four years. I know

329
00:19:53,160 --> 00:19:54,200
Speaker 3: it's a difficult time.

330
00:19:54,880 --> 00:19:57,800
Speaker 1: I mean, this was a different Joe Biden. You can

331
00:19:57,880 --> 00:20:00,840
Speaker 1: even say, a joyous Joe Biden is not what you

332
00:20:00,840 --> 00:20:03,440
Speaker 1: would normally think. And you gotta look at it and go, man,

333
00:20:04,000 --> 00:20:06,280
Speaker 1: he was living it up on election. I like, you

334
00:20:06,320 --> 00:20:08,880
Speaker 1: guys threw me out and guess what, you didn't get

335
00:20:08,920 --> 00:20:10,160
Speaker 1: the prize after all.

336
00:20:10,560 --> 00:20:14,359
Speaker 2: Yeah, And look, I am certain that Joe Biden looked

337
00:20:14,359 --> 00:20:16,760
Speaker 2: at his family, looked at his top staff, and said,

338
00:20:16,760 --> 00:20:19,760
Speaker 2: if it had been me, I don't want he believed.

339
00:20:20,400 --> 00:20:23,360
Speaker 2: He believes it through and through. And I don't think

340
00:20:23,440 --> 00:20:27,600
Speaker 2: he will ever forgive Nancy Pelosi and Barack Obama and

341
00:20:27,720 --> 00:20:32,639
Speaker 2: Chuck Schumer for throwing him overboard, doing it unceremoniously and

342
00:20:32,720 --> 00:20:36,240
Speaker 2: saying we want Kamala instead. And look, we'll never know

343
00:20:36,400 --> 00:20:39,720
Speaker 2: what that alternative reality would be. I mean, Biden's first

344
00:20:39,760 --> 00:20:45,240
Speaker 2: debate was a disaster. That's undoubtedly true. But I will

345
00:20:45,240 --> 00:20:52,159
Speaker 2: tell you on election night, Biden did better everywhere than

346
00:20:52,240 --> 00:20:55,040
Speaker 2: Kamala did like Kamala or let me frame it in

347
00:20:55,359 --> 00:21:01,679
Speaker 2: the obverse, Kamala did worse than Biden did everywhere. And

348
00:21:01,760 --> 00:21:05,840
Speaker 2: Joe Biden, I think, is celebrating and not even that quietly.

349
00:21:05,880 --> 00:21:08,840
Speaker 2: And you know what, I'm celebrating too, because it means

350
00:21:08,880 --> 00:21:12,119
Speaker 2: the country. It's morning in America again and we're turning

351
00:21:12,160 --> 00:21:14,720
Speaker 2: the country around as before.

352
00:21:14,920 --> 00:21:16,800
Speaker 1: If you want to hear the rest of this conversation

353
00:21:17,080 --> 00:21:19,399
Speaker 1: on this topic, you can go back and down the

354
00:21:19,600 --> 00:21:22,120
Speaker 1: podcast from earlier this week to hear the entire thing.

355
00:21:23,440 --> 00:21:25,760
Speaker 1: I want to get back to the big story number

356
00:21:25,800 --> 00:21:27,840
Speaker 1: three of the week. You may have missed. All right,

357
00:21:27,920 --> 00:21:30,560
Speaker 1: let me ask you this question. You've actually met and

358
00:21:30,640 --> 00:21:34,840
Speaker 1: chatted with Elon Musk. There is something different that's happening

359
00:21:34,960 --> 00:21:38,159
Speaker 1: right now, and that's the people around Trump. There's a

360
00:21:38,280 --> 00:21:41,119
Speaker 1: very good chance that Elon Musk could be involved in

361
00:21:41,240 --> 00:21:44,320
Speaker 1: the Trump administration on a real level. We see him

362
00:21:44,320 --> 00:21:47,280
Speaker 1: bring in people like RFK Junior. We see him bringing

363
00:21:47,320 --> 00:21:51,200
Speaker 1: in different minds that traditional you know politicians have not done.

364
00:21:51,560 --> 00:21:54,240
Speaker 1: How significant could it be to have a guy like

365
00:21:54,320 --> 00:21:57,719
Speaker 1: Elon Musk coming in and looking at like, you know,

366
00:21:57,840 --> 00:22:01,080
Speaker 1: accountability and efficiency with I say, it's government, which is

367
00:22:01,160 --> 00:22:05,160
Speaker 1: clearly bloated, and this is something he's really good at.

368
00:22:05,920 --> 00:22:08,880
Speaker 2: Yeah. Look, Elon is extraordinary. I know him well, he's

369
00:22:08,920 --> 00:22:10,879
Speaker 2: become a friend. I've spent a lot of time with Elon.

370
00:22:12,080 --> 00:22:15,440
Speaker 2: I'll tell you that they're smart people you encounter in life.

371
00:22:16,280 --> 00:22:19,800
Speaker 2: Elon is next level. I mean, there's just the guy

372
00:22:19,920 --> 00:22:22,800
Speaker 2: is freakin' brilliant and he knows how to run a

373
00:22:22,800 --> 00:22:26,400
Speaker 2: company like you look at the incredible success he has,

374
00:22:27,040 --> 00:22:30,879
Speaker 2: whether it's Tesla, whether it's it's SpaceX, whether it's the

375
00:22:30,920 --> 00:22:35,960
Speaker 2: boring company, whether it is uh X, Like he has

376
00:22:36,040 --> 00:22:39,760
Speaker 2: an ability to run. And by the way, the many

377
00:22:39,800 --> 00:22:44,280
Speaker 2: of those companies are like really precise manufacturers. You look

378
00:22:44,280 --> 00:22:48,960
Speaker 2: at SpaceX where they're manufacturing rocket ships with precision, with

379
00:22:48,960 --> 00:22:51,159
Speaker 2: with within a like a like a tenth of an

380
00:22:51,160 --> 00:22:53,800
Speaker 2: inch or less. I mean it is And I've been

381
00:22:53,880 --> 00:22:56,639
Speaker 2: down to the like they're factory in Bocachica down down

382
00:22:57,000 --> 00:22:59,000
Speaker 2: by Brownsville in the southern tip of Texas. I mean

383
00:22:59,000 --> 00:23:01,000
Speaker 2: it is remarkable. They're turning out of rocket ship a

384
00:23:01,040 --> 00:23:03,679
Speaker 2: month and they just built it out of nothing. I

385
00:23:03,720 --> 00:23:09,520
Speaker 2: mean is it's incredible and Elon is all in. We

386
00:23:09,600 --> 00:23:12,800
Speaker 2: saw him pour himself into this election. At the end,

387
00:23:12,840 --> 00:23:14,360
Speaker 2: I think it made a difference. I think he made

388
00:23:14,359 --> 00:23:17,560
Speaker 2: a difference in Pennsylvania where he really devoted a lot

389
00:23:17,560 --> 00:23:21,399
Speaker 2: of time and energy and money and personal credibility. And

390
00:23:21,440 --> 00:23:24,119
Speaker 2: I think it will be significant his impact on the

391
00:23:24,119 --> 00:23:29,840
Speaker 2: federal government. Now, there are structural impediments to having efficiency

392
00:23:29,920 --> 00:23:33,280
Speaker 2: in government, and so I don't think people should think

393
00:23:33,320 --> 00:23:36,680
Speaker 2: we're suddenly going to be in nirvana and everything will

394
00:23:36,680 --> 00:23:41,119
Speaker 2: be solved. Because in a company, Elon can walk in

395
00:23:41,200 --> 00:23:43,080
Speaker 2: and fire anyone he wants. And by the way, when

396
00:23:43,119 --> 00:23:45,679
Speaker 2: he bought Twitter, he fired a whole bunch of the

397
00:23:45,680 --> 00:23:48,240
Speaker 2: folks there and all the woke radicals. He basically said,

398
00:23:48,280 --> 00:23:51,080
Speaker 2: bye bye, you're out of here. The federal government, that

399
00:23:51,200 --> 00:23:53,679
Speaker 2: is much much harder to do. You've got civil service

400
00:23:53,720 --> 00:23:59,480
Speaker 2: protections that enables career bureaucrats to burrow in. I think

401
00:23:59,520 --> 00:24:02,800
Speaker 2: we will see the Trump administration take on the career

402
00:24:02,920 --> 00:24:06,040
Speaker 2: bureaucracy in a way that has never ever happened before.

403
00:24:06,520 --> 00:24:08,600
Speaker 2: That's a big deal. I expect Elon to play an

404
00:24:08,600 --> 00:24:11,800
Speaker 2: important role in that. But but I don't want to

405
00:24:12,000 --> 00:24:18,239
Speaker 2: understate the legal barriers, the bureaucratic barriers, that that it

406
00:24:18,400 --> 00:24:21,239
Speaker 2: is not like just coming into a company where you

407
00:24:21,240 --> 00:24:24,320
Speaker 2: have the ability to give anyone a pink slip. The

408
00:24:24,520 --> 00:24:27,399
Speaker 2: bureaucracy will fight back. And by the way, in the

409
00:24:27,400 --> 00:24:31,240
Speaker 2: first Trump term, we saw the deep state wage war

410
00:24:31,359 --> 00:24:33,720
Speaker 2: on Donald Trump. I very much hope the team coming

411
00:24:33,720 --> 00:24:41,399
Speaker 2: in understands much much better just how dangerous the foe

412
00:24:41,520 --> 00:24:44,160
Speaker 2: is they're facing of the radical leftists who burrowed into

413
00:24:44,200 --> 00:24:47,480
Speaker 2: the federal government, and that they're better prepared and ready

414
00:24:47,480 --> 00:24:48,000
Speaker 2: to take them on.

415
00:24:49,280 --> 00:24:51,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, no doubt about it. And by the way, saving

416
00:24:51,560 --> 00:24:55,040
Speaker 1: free speech by buying x just so people know how

417
00:24:55,119 --> 00:25:00,240
Speaker 1: biased that I would say the media is. And I'm

418
00:25:00,240 --> 00:25:03,360
Speaker 1: talking about the media. You have control over Facebook. We

419
00:25:03,359 --> 00:25:08,360
Speaker 1: were comparing last night many conservative influencers and center. You're

420
00:25:08,359 --> 00:25:13,240
Speaker 1: gonna find this interesting. From October ninth through November the fifth,

421
00:25:14,520 --> 00:25:19,600
Speaker 1: the reach that I had on Facebook was down eighty

422
00:25:19,840 --> 00:25:25,119
Speaker 1: three point six percent as a conservative on Facebook in

423
00:25:25,200 --> 00:25:29,200
Speaker 1: the month leading up to election well, and there were

424
00:25:29,640 --> 00:25:32,560
Speaker 1: quite a few other conservatives. I was talking earlier with

425
00:25:32,600 --> 00:25:36,120
Speaker 1: Megan McCain about this, and we opened up our analytics,

426
00:25:36,119 --> 00:25:40,000
Speaker 1: our insights on our public pages and again I'm looking

427
00:25:40,000 --> 00:25:44,240
Speaker 1: at it right now. Eighty three point six percent. That's

428
00:25:44,280 --> 00:25:47,240
Speaker 1: how much they turned off the faucet to free speech

429
00:25:47,520 --> 00:25:52,520
Speaker 1: of conservative influencers on Facebook, on Meta, on Instagram in

430
00:25:52,560 --> 00:25:57,119
Speaker 1: the last thirty days before the election. So the liberals

431
00:25:57,160 --> 00:26:01,280
Speaker 1: had free flow of intel and information and their side

432
00:26:01,680 --> 00:26:06,159
Speaker 1: and conservatives were throttled almost eighty five percent. I just

433
00:26:06,200 --> 00:26:08,320
Speaker 1: think that's interesting to see what Elon must have to

434
00:26:08,400 --> 00:26:12,720
Speaker 1: save freedom of speech on x He didn't do that there.

435
00:26:12,920 --> 00:26:15,760
Speaker 1: He let everybody talk. God bless America when it comes

436
00:26:15,800 --> 00:26:18,800
Speaker 1: to that. Your final thoughts to all the listeners of Verdict,

437
00:26:19,119 --> 00:26:21,040
Speaker 1: all those that came out and voted for you, I

438
00:26:21,080 --> 00:26:22,720
Speaker 1: know you want to say something to them as well.

439
00:26:23,240 --> 00:26:25,920
Speaker 2: Look to the listeners of Verdict, you guys are amazing.

440
00:26:25,960 --> 00:26:28,840
Speaker 2: You're the most informed, you're the most engaged. You care

441
00:26:28,920 --> 00:26:32,200
Speaker 2: about our nation. You're fighting to save our nation. And

442
00:26:32,560 --> 00:26:36,200
Speaker 2: everyone in Texas who worked so unbelievably hard. Look that

443
00:26:36,560 --> 00:26:39,800
Speaker 2: this was a battle I believe about keeping Texas, Texas,

444
00:26:39,880 --> 00:26:43,919
Speaker 2: my race, the money, the media, everything that came in

445
00:26:44,000 --> 00:26:47,720
Speaker 2: against us. They if you live in Texas, by the way,

446
00:26:47,920 --> 00:26:50,600
Speaker 2: thank god the ads are over. I mean, you couldn't

447
00:26:50,640 --> 00:26:52,880
Speaker 2: turn on your TV without every second or third AD

448
00:26:52,920 --> 00:26:56,640
Speaker 2: being an attack AD, just hammering the living daylights out

449
00:26:56,640 --> 00:26:58,800
Speaker 2: of me and the people of Texas. I'll tell you

450
00:26:58,840 --> 00:27:00,800
Speaker 2: it was inspirational. You can out on the road with me.

451
00:27:01,280 --> 00:27:05,800
Speaker 2: We did a fifty three stop bus tour all across

452
00:27:05,880 --> 00:27:08,600
Speaker 2: the state of Texas, over nine thousand miles we covered,

453
00:27:08,640 --> 00:27:12,879
Speaker 2: We did rallies everywhere, and it was incredible. The people

454
00:27:12,880 --> 00:27:18,560
Speaker 2: and you're just ordinary people, students, senior citizens, single moms, Hispanics,

455
00:27:18,600 --> 00:27:23,760
Speaker 2: African Americans, just Texans standing up and saying we want

456
00:27:23,800 --> 00:27:27,880
Speaker 2: to keep Texas Texas want. We want low taxes, low

457
00:27:27,880 --> 00:27:30,959
Speaker 2: and reasonable regulations, lots of jobs. We want security, we

458
00:27:31,000 --> 00:27:34,240
Speaker 2: want the border secure. We want to support law enforcement.

459
00:27:34,320 --> 00:27:37,080
Speaker 2: We want criminals in jail. We want to defend our freedom.

460
00:27:37,080 --> 00:27:40,240
Speaker 2: We want free speech, religious liberty, the Second Amendment. All

461
00:27:40,280 --> 00:27:42,600
Speaker 2: of that was on the ballot last night, and I

462
00:27:42,680 --> 00:27:45,640
Speaker 2: want to say it is breathtaking the Texans that came

463
00:27:45,680 --> 00:27:48,400
Speaker 2: out for me, and nationally, the people who supported the campaign,

464
00:27:48,600 --> 00:27:52,320
