00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:03,320
Speaker 1: Welcome to today's edition of the Clay Travis and buck

2
00:00:03,360 --> 00:00:07,920
Speaker 1: Sexton Show podcast. Welcome in our number two Clay Travis

3
00:00:07,960 --> 00:00:10,840
Speaker 1: buck Sexton Show. We appreciate all of you hanging out

4
00:00:10,880 --> 00:00:16,360
Speaker 1: with us. We are officially one week until the midterms.

5
00:00:16,920 --> 00:00:19,640
Speaker 1: There is going to be a red wave. All of

6
00:00:19,680 --> 00:00:22,120
Speaker 1: you need to get out and vote. The question is

7
00:00:22,160 --> 00:00:25,000
Speaker 1: how high will that red wave be and how many

8
00:00:25,040 --> 00:00:29,560
Speaker 1: will it carry into Washington and into the state capitals

9
00:00:29,600 --> 00:00:34,840
Speaker 1: in many of your different locations. As we speak right now,

10
00:00:35,040 --> 00:00:39,720
Speaker 1: you guys know that I am enjoy I'm a nerd

11
00:00:39,800 --> 00:00:43,360
Speaker 1: when it comes to looking at polls, but also I

12
00:00:43,720 --> 00:00:47,000
Speaker 1: am a gambling person and I like to look where

13
00:00:47,040 --> 00:00:51,519
Speaker 1: people are actually putting their money. Right now, there are

14
00:00:51,560 --> 00:00:55,160
Speaker 1: a lot of tight races. But as we speak right

15
00:00:55,320 --> 00:00:57,320
Speaker 1: and now at a little bit after one o'clock on

16
00:00:57,360 --> 00:01:00,360
Speaker 1: the East Coast on Tuesday, seven days until the election,

17
00:01:01,120 --> 00:01:05,720
Speaker 1: Blake Masters is favored to win the Arizona Senate race.

18
00:01:06,760 --> 00:01:11,520
Speaker 1: In Nevada, Adam Laxalt is favored to win the Nevada

19
00:01:11,680 --> 00:01:17,200
Speaker 1: Senate race. In Pennsylvania, doctor Oz is favored to win

20
00:01:17,480 --> 00:01:23,720
Speaker 1: the Pennsylvania Senate race, and herschel Walker is a favorite

21
00:01:23,760 --> 00:01:28,800
Speaker 1: to win the Georgia's Senate race. Republicans right now are

22
00:01:28,920 --> 00:01:35,759
Speaker 1: minus thirty thousand to go out and win the win

23
00:01:35,880 --> 00:01:40,480
Speaker 1: overall the House. So the House, the question is really

24
00:01:40,560 --> 00:01:42,440
Speaker 1: as long as all of you get out and vote

25
00:01:43,120 --> 00:01:46,640
Speaker 1: minus three thousand, I should say, the question is how

26
00:01:46,640 --> 00:01:50,400
Speaker 1: big will that majority be? A really really big favorite

27
00:01:50,440 --> 00:01:54,840
Speaker 1: at minus three thousand. But those four Senate seats that

28
00:01:54,920 --> 00:02:00,040
Speaker 1: I just hit you with Arizona, Nevada, Georgia, and in

29
00:02:00,120 --> 00:02:05,920
Speaker 1: Sylvania are all in the crosshairs winnable right now. Republicans

30
00:02:05,920 --> 00:02:10,120
Speaker 1: are favored in all four, win two, and Republicans take

31
00:02:10,160 --> 00:02:14,799
Speaker 1: back control of the Senate. That is a red wave election.

32
00:02:15,200 --> 00:02:21,400
Speaker 1: Fifty three forty seven. A tsunami would be Joe O'Day

33
00:02:21,440 --> 00:02:28,079
Speaker 1: in Colorado. It would be Tiffany Smiley in Washington, lifting

34
00:02:28,160 --> 00:02:33,119
Speaker 1: up other additional candidates. A tsunami buck would be your

35
00:02:33,160 --> 00:02:37,080
Speaker 1: guy Leezelden in New York. Christine Drayson, who we're going

36
00:02:37,160 --> 00:02:40,200
Speaker 1: to talk to in the next hour, is actually favored

37
00:02:40,240 --> 00:02:44,600
Speaker 1: to win an Oregon Tutor Dixon tied up right now

38
00:02:45,040 --> 00:02:51,200
Speaker 1: in many different polls in Michigan, New Mexico, Wisconsin. There

39
00:02:51,240 --> 00:02:54,120
Speaker 1: are a lot of states that could flip from Democrat

40
00:02:54,200 --> 00:02:58,560
Speaker 1: control to Republican control if all of you get out

41
00:02:58,560 --> 00:03:02,120
Speaker 1: and vote, and tide continues to move in the direction

42
00:03:02,200 --> 00:03:07,160
Speaker 1: it is right now. Not surprisingly, I told you that

43
00:03:07,200 --> 00:03:09,600
Speaker 1: I would share you Joy Behar and I will play

44
00:03:09,600 --> 00:03:11,440
Speaker 1: that for you at a moment. But Buck, I thought

45
00:03:11,440 --> 00:03:15,840
Speaker 1: you would love this. This is from Tom Bevan at

46
00:03:15,919 --> 00:03:19,840
Speaker 1: Real Clear Politics. Great website, Real Clear Politics out there

47
00:03:19,880 --> 00:03:23,080
Speaker 1: does a great job of distilling so much of this data.

48
00:03:23,280 --> 00:03:29,040
Speaker 1: Neither Stacy Abrahams in Georgia nor Beto O'Rourke in Texas

49
00:03:29,720 --> 00:03:33,919
Speaker 1: has ever led in a poll this entire race. Not

50
00:03:34,120 --> 00:03:37,160
Speaker 1: one poll has ever had them in the league combined.

51
00:03:38,200 --> 00:03:41,680
Speaker 1: What do you think they have spent on their governor

52
00:03:41,800 --> 00:03:46,280
Speaker 1: races in Georgia and Texas? Buck Sexton to putting me

53
00:03:46,360 --> 00:03:49,640
Speaker 1: on the spot. Okay, I we have not coordinated this.

54
00:03:50,240 --> 00:03:52,360
Speaker 1: You have no ide I'm assuming you haven't seen this tweet.

55
00:03:52,600 --> 00:03:54,800
Speaker 1: I have not seen this tweet. I am going to

56
00:03:54,880 --> 00:03:57,160
Speaker 1: guess at the number. I'm going to say between the

57
00:03:57,200 --> 00:04:01,080
Speaker 1: two of them, they've spent one hundred million dollars, good guess,

58
00:04:02,280 --> 00:04:05,800
Speaker 1: not enough. They are going to spend a hundred and

59
00:04:06,120 --> 00:04:09,760
Speaker 1: fifty million dollars between the two of them. That is

60
00:04:09,960 --> 00:04:16,960
Speaker 1: wild raised allion dollars up in smoke. Totally put it

61
00:04:17,040 --> 00:04:20,840
Speaker 1: up in smoke, one hundred and fifty million dollars, much

62
00:04:20,880 --> 00:04:24,120
Speaker 1: of which has come from really rich people in New

63
00:04:24,200 --> 00:04:26,520
Speaker 1: York and California who we said before have been the

64
00:04:26,560 --> 00:04:31,360
Speaker 1: founding members of this Beato and Stacy Abrams fan club

65
00:04:31,880 --> 00:04:34,960
Speaker 1: one hundred and fifty million dollars, and they have never

66
00:04:35,040 --> 00:04:39,320
Speaker 1: led in a single poll into either Texas or Georgia

67
00:04:39,360 --> 00:04:41,880
Speaker 1: this entire election side. So I don't want to get

68
00:04:41,920 --> 00:04:45,240
Speaker 1: in the way of your luncheon day with Joy bay Haa.

69
00:04:46,200 --> 00:04:50,919
Speaker 1: But she's got thoughts for Clay Clay Travis. Isn't he

70
00:04:51,040 --> 00:04:54,800
Speaker 1: that mean sportsman who's always oh, go play the sports.

71
00:04:56,360 --> 00:04:59,520
Speaker 1: Of course, I'm from York, I get it. But here

72
00:04:59,640 --> 00:05:02,120
Speaker 1: is Oh actually no, not the Joy Behar. I want

73
00:05:02,120 --> 00:05:06,720
Speaker 1: to tell you about um Josh crash Hour. I just

74
00:05:06,720 --> 00:05:09,360
Speaker 1: saw this tweet. I'm pulling it up right now. Here

75
00:05:09,360 --> 00:05:11,560
Speaker 1: we go. Yeah, Josh crash Hour. I think he's a

76
00:05:11,560 --> 00:05:16,000
Speaker 1: political guy. One Democratic operative working on house raises in

77
00:05:16,040 --> 00:05:19,919
Speaker 1: New York says the politician on who is the biggest

78
00:05:20,040 --> 00:05:24,039
Speaker 1: drag on Democrats is in Biden. It's not Pelosi, it

79
00:05:24,240 --> 00:05:29,000
Speaker 1: is Governor Kathy Hokel quote, She's dragging down the whole

80
00:05:29,040 --> 00:05:32,960
Speaker 1: ticket and will lose winnable house races because of it.

81
00:05:33,160 --> 00:05:38,240
Speaker 1: The operative says, from his lips to God's ears, the

82
00:05:38,400 --> 00:05:43,000
Speaker 1: woman who used to wear the vaccine necklace deserves not

83
00:05:43,040 --> 00:05:46,960
Speaker 1: only to lose to Leezelden, but every other Democrat in

84
00:05:47,000 --> 00:05:51,800
Speaker 1: a contested race in her state deserves to lose two

85
00:05:52,080 --> 00:05:55,239
Speaker 1: that she will be the vortex that brings them all down.

86
00:05:56,040 --> 00:05:58,080
Speaker 1: You see back where she said she was the underdog.

87
00:05:59,040 --> 00:06:00,880
Speaker 1: Did you see you saw the god and see that?

88
00:06:01,240 --> 00:06:03,359
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, So maybe we can grab that at some

89
00:06:03,440 --> 00:06:05,360
Speaker 1: point and play it for you. I meant to. I'm

90
00:06:05,400 --> 00:06:07,320
Speaker 1: meant to grab that the other day when I saw it.

91
00:06:08,040 --> 00:06:10,599
Speaker 1: She was asked about the close race against Lee's Eldon.

92
00:06:10,800 --> 00:06:14,640
Speaker 1: And there is an all points bulletin like defcon notice

93
00:06:14,720 --> 00:06:17,880
Speaker 1: out for Democrats right now all over the state of

94
00:06:17,880 --> 00:06:20,040
Speaker 1: New York to try and save Kathy Hokel. And I'm

95
00:06:20,080 --> 00:06:21,640
Speaker 1: not sure that they're going to be able to do it.

96
00:06:21,680 --> 00:06:23,800
Speaker 1: I hope they're not going to be able to. But

97
00:06:23,880 --> 00:06:26,080
Speaker 1: she was asked about that, and she said, oh, I'm

98
00:06:26,080 --> 00:06:28,760
Speaker 1: the underdog in this race. And when you're the Democrat

99
00:06:28,839 --> 00:06:31,640
Speaker 1: and you're calling yourself the underdog in a statewide race

100
00:06:31,640 --> 00:06:34,440
Speaker 1: in New York, it ain't going well for you. It's

101
00:06:34,680 --> 00:06:39,240
Speaker 1: it's remarkable that this is where we are at this

102
00:06:39,320 --> 00:06:43,039
Speaker 1: stage of the game with Democrats. But when you think

103
00:06:43,040 --> 00:06:47,480
Speaker 1: about it, they refuse to moderate positions or change course,

104
00:06:48,160 --> 00:06:51,360
Speaker 1: and so of course it keeps getting worse. Right, There's

105
00:06:51,520 --> 00:06:53,599
Speaker 1: there's no part of them that's really been willing to

106
00:06:53,640 --> 00:06:56,120
Speaker 1: adopt in the last six months, even the last six weeks,

107
00:06:56,640 --> 00:07:01,000
Speaker 1: positions on the crime issue. The crime issue is one

108
00:07:01,040 --> 00:07:04,400
Speaker 1: where you know, no matter who you are, if you

109
00:07:04,480 --> 00:07:06,400
Speaker 1: live in a place where you feel like it is.

110
00:07:06,520 --> 00:07:08,080
Speaker 1: And by the way, people who live in the suburbs,

111
00:07:08,080 --> 00:07:11,440
Speaker 1: for example, people who live upstate in New York. Just

112
00:07:11,440 --> 00:07:13,680
Speaker 1: to give you an example of that, right, my grandparents

113
00:07:13,680 --> 00:07:15,360
Speaker 1: had a place in the Hudson Valley. I used to

114
00:07:15,360 --> 00:07:17,720
Speaker 1: spend summers there. Okay, it's two hours drive, one hundred

115
00:07:17,720 --> 00:07:20,080
Speaker 1: miles from New York City. None of them want to

116
00:07:20,120 --> 00:07:23,760
Speaker 1: hear or believe that New York City is unsafe because

117
00:07:23,760 --> 00:07:26,760
Speaker 1: they have friends and family who live there. They go visit,

118
00:07:27,200 --> 00:07:29,040
Speaker 1: they go to catch a show, or they go to

119
00:07:29,040 --> 00:07:31,840
Speaker 1: see the rock Cats or what. Nobody wants to believe

120
00:07:32,320 --> 00:07:34,760
Speaker 1: that the crown jewel city of their state, whether it's

121
00:07:34,800 --> 00:07:37,200
Speaker 1: New York or Chicago or you know, Phoenix or you

122
00:07:37,280 --> 00:07:40,640
Speaker 1: name it, is having a massive crime increase. And the

123
00:07:40,680 --> 00:07:43,520
Speaker 1: fact that what they've been saying to us is and look,

124
00:07:43,680 --> 00:07:45,800
Speaker 1: this is also a part of the Pelosi the Paul

125
00:07:45,840 --> 00:07:48,880
Speaker 1: Pelosi attacked discussion here, which putting us up, you know,

126
00:07:48,880 --> 00:07:51,000
Speaker 1: the politics that they're trying to make of and everything else.

127
00:07:51,440 --> 00:07:54,559
Speaker 1: It is far too normal in American cities for seeing

128
00:07:54,560 --> 00:07:57,560
Speaker 1: your citizens to be attacked by maniacs. Just as a

129
00:07:57,680 --> 00:08:00,680
Speaker 1: general you know, this is and we want this to stop.

130
00:08:00,720 --> 00:08:03,600
Speaker 1: Our side wants us to stop. In all cases. What

131
00:08:03,680 --> 00:08:07,000
Speaker 1: happened to Popolosi was terrible, but it shouldn't happen to anybody.

132
00:08:07,960 --> 00:08:12,160
Speaker 1: And they're telling us, Clay that it's not happening. That's

133
00:08:12,160 --> 00:08:13,880
Speaker 1: the part of it that I think is the most calling.

134
00:08:14,320 --> 00:08:18,520
Speaker 1: And this is exactly what so they've moved from the

135
00:08:18,720 --> 00:08:21,600
Speaker 1: argument now, which is it seems maybe the worst argument

136
00:08:21,600 --> 00:08:24,840
Speaker 1: they've made so far is the idea that crime is

137
00:08:24,920 --> 00:08:28,400
Speaker 1: increasing is just in your heads. It's not a reality.

138
00:08:28,440 --> 00:08:31,840
Speaker 1: That's what the dumbest person in television. Joy Behar said

139
00:08:31,840 --> 00:08:34,680
Speaker 1: to her audience on the view earlier today. I might

140
00:08:34,760 --> 00:08:38,000
Speaker 1: to remind everybody, but it was the Democrats, but not

141
00:08:38,040 --> 00:08:41,880
Speaker 1: the Democrats who storms the government that day and tried

142
00:08:41,920 --> 00:08:45,599
Speaker 1: to kill the vice president. Yeah, okay. And the Republicans

143
00:08:45,679 --> 00:08:48,679
Speaker 1: now coming up to the next election, which is next week,

144
00:08:48,800 --> 00:08:53,160
Speaker 1: by the way, that all they do is talk about crime, crime, crime.

145
00:08:53,200 --> 00:08:56,800
Speaker 1: Well I looked it up. Murders in major cities have

146
00:08:56,920 --> 00:08:59,520
Speaker 1: fallen by four percent so far in twenty twenty two

147
00:08:59,640 --> 00:09:02,280
Speaker 1: compared it with the same period a year ago, So

148
00:09:02,360 --> 00:09:04,480
Speaker 1: the crime is not on the rise, it's actually going

149
00:09:04,640 --> 00:09:09,280
Speaker 1: down under jump. So four percent buck, And again, she's

150
00:09:09,280 --> 00:09:11,400
Speaker 1: an imbecile. First of all, I don't know what city

151
00:09:11,520 --> 00:09:14,520
Speaker 1: she's citing, so and I also question anyone who works

152
00:09:14,559 --> 00:09:17,360
Speaker 1: on Joy Behar's research research staff, I'm also going to

153
00:09:17,400 --> 00:09:20,360
Speaker 1: toss out is probably an imbecile as well. But the

154
00:09:20,360 --> 00:09:22,440
Speaker 1: way to look at this is not to compare it

155
00:09:22,520 --> 00:09:25,480
Speaker 1: right now with twenty twenty one, because twenty twenty and

156
00:09:25,520 --> 00:09:29,160
Speaker 1: twenty twenty one were massive increases. It's to compare twenty

157
00:09:29,160 --> 00:09:32,320
Speaker 1: twenty two with twenty nineteen, which is when this all

158
00:09:32,360 --> 00:09:35,240
Speaker 1: took off, and the number of murders occurring in twenty

159
00:09:35,280 --> 00:09:38,760
Speaker 1: twenty two are up massively compared to what happened in

160
00:09:38,760 --> 00:09:41,640
Speaker 1: twenty twenty and twenty twenty one. And actually, I think

161
00:09:41,679 --> 00:09:45,160
Speaker 1: a lot of people remember that the argument that the

162
00:09:45,360 --> 00:09:49,880
Speaker 1: same Democrats, the argument they were making Clay was that

163
00:09:49,960 --> 00:09:55,080
Speaker 1: this was just COVID related and therefore temporary, kind of

164
00:09:55,080 --> 00:09:58,160
Speaker 1: like how inflation was going to be temporary or transient.

165
00:09:58,640 --> 00:10:01,200
Speaker 1: They said the same thing about the crime wave. It

166
00:10:01,240 --> 00:10:05,120
Speaker 1: has actually proven to be durable. And so what they're

167
00:10:05,160 --> 00:10:07,640
Speaker 1: doing now is saying, well, maybe it's durable at this

168
00:10:07,760 --> 00:10:11,199
Speaker 1: elevated rate, but at an unacceptably high rate, it has

169
00:10:11,280 --> 00:10:14,560
Speaker 1: dipped down a tiny bit. And that's not even true everywhere,

170
00:10:14,600 --> 00:10:16,520
Speaker 1: and it's not even true in all crime categories. We

171
00:10:16,559 --> 00:10:18,840
Speaker 1: could sit here and play this game all day. Okay, fine,

172
00:10:18,960 --> 00:10:21,600
Speaker 1: San Francisco doesn't have a sky high murder rate. It

173
00:10:21,640 --> 00:10:26,480
Speaker 1: does have a sky high burglary, you know, theft, breaking

174
00:10:26,480 --> 00:10:29,240
Speaker 1: and entering. I mean, those crimes are all different. Areas

175
00:10:29,240 --> 00:10:33,480
Speaker 1: have different Some places have tremendous increases in grand theft,

176
00:10:33,480 --> 00:10:38,120
Speaker 1: auto or even carjacking as a specific. You know, crime

177
00:10:38,320 --> 00:10:41,920
Speaker 1: is regional in some ways in that sense. But what

178
00:10:42,000 --> 00:10:44,040
Speaker 1: you do see is there are big increases in every city,

179
00:10:44,080 --> 00:10:45,800
Speaker 1: pretty much in the entire country. In fact, the Wall

180
00:10:45,800 --> 00:10:48,840
Speaker 1: Street Journal was crunching the numbers eight months ago. I

181
00:10:48,840 --> 00:10:52,520
Speaker 1: think it was on rural areas seeing an increase in

182
00:10:52,559 --> 00:10:54,440
Speaker 1: crime because there's so much more in the cities that

183
00:10:54,480 --> 00:10:57,439
Speaker 1: it starts to bleed out into not just the suburbs,

184
00:10:57,440 --> 00:11:01,839
Speaker 1: but even further beyond that. And look, they're the Democrats.

185
00:11:02,320 --> 00:11:04,520
Speaker 1: If they lose the way we think they're going to lose,

186
00:11:04,600 --> 00:11:07,000
Speaker 1: and if it's in large part on this issue, they're

187
00:11:07,040 --> 00:11:11,120
Speaker 1: getting what they deserve. Yes, that's something ever needs to know.

188
00:11:11,440 --> 00:11:14,960
Speaker 1: They deserve to lose based on what they've done. But

189
00:11:15,120 --> 00:11:17,880
Speaker 1: also when the arguments they make the crime situation isn't

190
00:11:17,880 --> 00:11:21,600
Speaker 1: that bad, Jay Peharsha rud Clay. It's spent decades of

191
00:11:21,600 --> 00:11:24,240
Speaker 1: my life in New York, thousands and thousands of hours.

192
00:11:24,240 --> 00:11:25,559
Speaker 1: I mean, I can't do the math off the top

193
00:11:25,559 --> 00:11:28,080
Speaker 1: of my head. But on the subway system it is dangerous.

194
00:11:28,120 --> 00:11:30,960
Speaker 1: Now there are there are maniacs that you have to

195
00:11:30,960 --> 00:11:33,640
Speaker 1: be aware of and that are threatening an ominous to

196
00:11:33,720 --> 00:11:36,520
Speaker 1: be around in levels I have never seen before, certainly

197
00:11:36,520 --> 00:11:40,640
Speaker 1: since like nineteen ninety two. Yeah, and look, the argument

198
00:11:41,080 --> 00:11:44,560
Speaker 1: is going to really fall flat because I think people

199
00:11:44,600 --> 00:11:48,680
Speaker 1: are smart enough to understand that saying, oh, crime's not

200
00:11:48,880 --> 00:11:54,720
Speaker 1: up that much in twenty twenty two, combined with historic rises.

201
00:11:54,840 --> 00:11:58,400
Speaker 1: I believe the FBI said the difference between nineteen ninety

202
00:11:58,400 --> 00:12:03,000
Speaker 1: and nineteen sorry night, twenty nineteen and twenty twenty was

203
00:12:03,040 --> 00:12:06,520
Speaker 1: the largest single year increase in murder on record for

204
00:12:06,559 --> 00:12:09,720
Speaker 1: the FBI, and then the numbers went up again in

205
00:12:09,800 --> 00:12:13,320
Speaker 1: twenty twenty one. And so I think, again, we're sitting

206
00:12:13,320 --> 00:12:15,720
Speaker 1: here in November. First, A lot of murders tend to

207
00:12:15,760 --> 00:12:20,800
Speaker 1: happen late in the year historically, and so that will

208
00:12:20,920 --> 00:12:24,440
Speaker 1: likely continue. But to say, oh, murders are down four

209
00:12:24,559 --> 00:12:27,160
Speaker 1: percent off of two of the worst years that we

210
00:12:27,200 --> 00:12:30,480
Speaker 1: have seen in the twenty first century is not going

211
00:12:30,520 --> 00:12:32,600
Speaker 1: to make people feel like they're very much safer. And again,

212
00:12:32,679 --> 00:12:35,880
Speaker 1: I would question any data that Joy Behar is citing,

213
00:12:35,920 --> 00:12:39,160
Speaker 1: because I'm not sure there's anyone on television who has

214
00:12:39,200 --> 00:12:41,960
Speaker 1: consistently been more wrong. I'm not even talking about opinion,

215
00:12:42,320 --> 00:12:46,520
Speaker 1: just factually getting things that are clearly not true and

216
00:12:46,720 --> 00:12:49,480
Speaker 1: using them as a part of her arguments. Clay Travis's

217
00:12:49,559 --> 00:12:54,520
Speaker 1: being so mean today, He's being a mean many to you, Joy,

218
00:12:54,600 --> 00:13:00,000
Speaker 1: you turned eighty. I was legitimately stunned that you were

219
00:13:00,679 --> 00:13:03,120
Speaker 1: I thought. Joy Behar is a lot younger than eighty it.

220
00:13:03,280 --> 00:13:06,400
Speaker 1: I mean, she's younger. Joy Behart is older than Joe Biden.

221
00:13:06,640 --> 00:13:08,959
Speaker 1: And as much as I think Joy Behar has lost

222
00:13:09,000 --> 00:13:11,640
Speaker 1: her mind, her mind works way better than the President

223
00:13:11,640 --> 00:13:16,280
Speaker 1: of the United States. Unfortunately she's damming her with faint praise,

224
00:13:16,360 --> 00:13:19,320
Speaker 1: but it is fate praise at least. Yeah, there you go. Look,

225
00:13:19,320 --> 00:13:21,120
Speaker 1: the economy is what it is right now. You see

226
00:13:21,160 --> 00:13:24,600
Speaker 1: it rising, inflation, the stock market up down, up down.

227
00:13:24,760 --> 00:13:26,480
Speaker 1: Look what's gone on with your four oh one k

228
00:13:26,760 --> 00:13:30,560
Speaker 1: and it's likely to get rockier even in the next year.

229
00:13:30,920 --> 00:13:33,760
Speaker 1: So what are you doing right now? The Phoenix Capital

255
00:14:59,720 --> 00:15:03,760
Speaker 1: buck Sexton Show. We are joined now by Arkansas Senator

256
00:15:03,840 --> 00:15:08,320
Speaker 1: Tom Cotton. Appreciate him joining us. Senator. I want to

257
00:15:08,320 --> 00:15:09,960
Speaker 1: start right here. I know you've got a new book

258
00:15:09,960 --> 00:15:13,239
Speaker 1: out Only the Strong, Reversing the Left plot to sabotage

259
00:15:13,280 --> 00:15:17,800
Speaker 1: American power. We appreciate everyone listening on our Arkansas affiliates

260
00:15:17,800 --> 00:15:20,400
Speaker 1: and certainly all over the country. But I want to

261
00:15:20,440 --> 00:15:22,680
Speaker 1: start here. Given the fact that we are one week

262
00:15:22,800 --> 00:15:26,040
Speaker 1: out from the mid terms, based on the numbers that

263
00:15:26,120 --> 00:15:29,040
Speaker 1: you are seeing, do you feel like you guys in

264
00:15:29,080 --> 00:15:32,480
Speaker 1: the Senate will be in the majority come you know,

265
00:15:32,680 --> 00:15:36,640
Speaker 1: a week from today when these election results start coming in. Well,

266
00:15:36,640 --> 00:15:38,320
Speaker 1: thanks for having me on, guys, and I do believe

267
00:15:38,360 --> 00:15:40,400
Speaker 1: that we're going to win a solid majority in both

268
00:15:40,440 --> 00:15:42,360
Speaker 1: the House and the Senate. I wan't hazard death with

269
00:15:42,400 --> 00:15:44,520
Speaker 1: specific numbers, just let me say I think it's going

270
00:15:44,560 --> 00:15:47,320
Speaker 1: to be a comfortable majority. You know. I got into

271
00:15:47,320 --> 00:15:49,520
Speaker 1: New York late last night for the book launch of

272
00:15:49,600 --> 00:15:51,880
Speaker 1: Only the Strong, and I turned on the local news

273
00:15:51,920 --> 00:15:54,840
Speaker 1: because I'd like to see what's happening in the local scene.

274
00:15:54,960 --> 00:15:57,600
Speaker 1: And every ad I saw in the local news was

275
00:15:57,640 --> 00:16:00,800
Speaker 1: about Democratic congressman in New York and connect in New Jersey.

276
00:16:00,880 --> 00:16:04,000
Speaker 1: Some of these congressmen are in seats that Joe Biden

277
00:16:04,000 --> 00:16:06,960
Speaker 1: won by twenty points, and the Democratic Party is now

278
00:16:07,000 --> 00:16:10,040
Speaker 1: spending hundreds of thousands of dollars to save their hide.

279
00:16:10,520 --> 00:16:12,680
Speaker 1: Why are they doing that? Because they know they're in trouble.

280
00:16:12,920 --> 00:16:14,800
Speaker 1: As I say, and only the strong. You know, you

281
00:16:14,800 --> 00:16:17,160
Speaker 1: shouldn't listen to what your adversaries say. Look at what

282
00:16:17,200 --> 00:16:20,680
Speaker 1: they do. Iran says, oh, our nuclear deal is peaceful,

283
00:16:21,000 --> 00:16:24,480
Speaker 1: but then they build nuclear facilities in a hardened monk

284
00:16:24,520 --> 00:16:27,600
Speaker 1: or underneath a mount. Charlie says they're not peaceful. Likewise,

285
00:16:27,840 --> 00:16:29,880
Speaker 1: don't look at Nancy Pelosi saying they're going to hold

286
00:16:29,880 --> 00:16:31,560
Speaker 1: the House, or Joe Biden say the polls are going

287
00:16:31,600 --> 00:16:34,080
Speaker 1: to turn around. Look where they're committing their time and

288
00:16:34,120 --> 00:16:37,600
Speaker 1: their money and their surrogate's time. They're in places that

289
00:16:37,720 --> 00:16:42,160
Speaker 1: Joe Biden won by ten at fifteen and even twenty points.

290
00:16:42,160 --> 00:16:45,080
Speaker 1: Cenator cotton Buck, thanks for being with us. Where do

291
00:16:45,160 --> 00:16:49,520
Speaker 1: you see surprising victories now as possible? I mean so

292
00:16:49,680 --> 00:16:52,960
Speaker 1: I wouldn't put you know, anybody who has been ahead

293
00:16:53,080 --> 00:16:57,920
Speaker 1: so in recent polling herschel Walker, for example, methemod Oz,

294
00:16:58,000 --> 00:16:59,920
Speaker 1: I wouldn't view those as a surprise. We've been talking

295
00:17:00,200 --> 00:17:04,080
Speaker 1: about some important races where it looks like, for example,

296
00:17:04,119 --> 00:17:06,639
Speaker 1: Tiffany Smiley will be with a shortly in Washington State,

297
00:17:06,880 --> 00:17:10,520
Speaker 1: we could pull out some huge upset wins. Do you

298
00:17:10,560 --> 00:17:12,320
Speaker 1: do you have any that our top of mind for you?

299
00:17:12,359 --> 00:17:16,200
Speaker 1: And if so, what is it just the the triad,

300
00:17:16,240 --> 00:17:22,560
Speaker 1: the triumvirt of crime, immigration, and the economy that's pushing it. Yeah,

301
00:17:22,600 --> 00:17:25,200
Speaker 1: but thanks for the question. Thanks for having Tiffany on

302
00:17:25,200 --> 00:17:28,119
Speaker 1: as well. Tiffany is a great candidate. I've been fantastic

303
00:17:28,760 --> 00:17:31,000
Speaker 1: from the very beginning early last year when she and

304
00:17:31,000 --> 00:17:34,200
Speaker 1: her husband, Scotty Smiley came to see me, and I've

305
00:17:34,240 --> 00:17:36,720
Speaker 1: been encouraging her. I encourage her Rhyan, I've been backing

306
00:17:36,720 --> 00:17:38,240
Speaker 1: her for over a year now, being out on the

307
00:17:38,240 --> 00:17:42,080
Speaker 1: campaign trail with her in Washington later this week. I

308
00:17:42,080 --> 00:17:44,159
Speaker 1: think she's gonna beat Patty Murray, who is a failed

309
00:17:44,240 --> 00:17:48,840
Speaker 1: thirty year politician, no solutions and no answers, and in

310
00:17:48,880 --> 00:17:51,720
Speaker 1: fact is part of the cause for the record high

311
00:17:51,720 --> 00:17:55,879
Speaker 1: inflation that Washington Staters are suffering, For the crime and

312
00:17:55,920 --> 00:17:58,760
Speaker 1: the drugs, and the homelessness that makes the areas in

313
00:17:58,840 --> 00:18:03,800
Speaker 1: Seattle to in the Puget Sound almost unlivable for families

314
00:18:03,800 --> 00:18:06,679
Speaker 1: with young children, For the wide open border that has

315
00:18:06,680 --> 00:18:09,280
Speaker 1: brought so much of those drugs into our communities. I

316
00:18:09,280 --> 00:18:12,000
Speaker 1: also wouldn't be surprised to see Joe O'Day when in Colorado.

317
00:18:12,240 --> 00:18:14,400
Speaker 1: Was with Joe on the campaign trail last month. Joe

318
00:18:14,480 --> 00:18:17,560
Speaker 1: is a great up from the bootstraps American success story,

319
00:18:17,720 --> 00:18:20,480
Speaker 1: working as a carpenter to build his own construction company.

320
00:18:20,680 --> 00:18:22,879
Speaker 1: Michael Bennett has not only been a rubber stamp for

321
00:18:22,960 --> 00:18:25,200
Speaker 1: Joe Biden, but he himself has been a driver of

322
00:18:25,240 --> 00:18:27,520
Speaker 1: the inflation. He was the champion in the big stimulus

323
00:18:27,560 --> 00:18:31,440
Speaker 1: bill last year of sending out welfare checks to all Americans,

324
00:18:31,600 --> 00:18:35,119
Speaker 1: even prisoners, which that all the Democrats voted for, without

325
00:18:35,160 --> 00:18:39,639
Speaker 1: any connection to work. Again, as I make the point

326
00:18:39,640 --> 00:18:42,719
Speaker 1: in my book, are the strong. What you see with

327
00:18:42,760 --> 00:18:45,480
Speaker 1: our wide open border, what you see with these record

328
00:18:45,520 --> 00:18:49,640
Speaker 1: inflation numbers, weakening our military. It's not an accident. It's

329
00:18:49,680 --> 00:18:52,960
Speaker 1: not bad luck for the Democrats. It's what they intended

330
00:18:53,000 --> 00:18:55,159
Speaker 1: to accomplish. When Joe Biden said he was going to

331
00:18:55,240 --> 00:18:57,560
Speaker 1: ban fossil fuels. We shouldn't be surprised to see gas

332
00:18:57,560 --> 00:19:00,560
Speaker 1: at almost four dollars a gallon. The American people can

333
00:19:00,600 --> 00:19:02,959
Speaker 1: see these things. They want to put the brakes on

334
00:19:03,000 --> 00:19:05,440
Speaker 1: the Democrats ideological agenda, and that's what they're going to

335
00:19:05,480 --> 00:19:08,399
Speaker 1: do in a wait. Okay, Senah Cotton, we've got Christine

336
00:19:08,480 --> 00:19:11,800
Speaker 1: Dreysen who's running potentially, and we believe gonna win the

337
00:19:11,880 --> 00:19:14,280
Speaker 1: Oregon governor's race as a Republican for the first time

338
00:19:14,320 --> 00:19:17,120
Speaker 1: since the nineteen eighties. You just mentioned Tiffany Smiley, who's

339
00:19:17,119 --> 00:19:19,199
Speaker 1: gonna be on with us tomorrow. We've had her on

340
00:19:19,240 --> 00:19:21,400
Speaker 1: a couple of times already that you think she's gonna

341
00:19:21,440 --> 00:19:24,439
Speaker 1: win in Washington. What does it say that both of

342
00:19:24,480 --> 00:19:28,679
Speaker 1: these women are capable of winning Washington and Oregon among

343
00:19:28,720 --> 00:19:33,159
Speaker 1: the bluest of the blue states, as Republican moms running

344
00:19:33,200 --> 00:19:36,760
Speaker 1: basically on a platform of sanity. About how far left

345
00:19:36,840 --> 00:19:41,120
Speaker 1: wing Democrats have truly gone that even their bait states,

346
00:19:41,119 --> 00:19:43,480
Speaker 1: which I think it's fair to say Washington and Oregon are,

347
00:19:43,720 --> 00:19:47,120
Speaker 1: are now open to Republican arguments. Yeah, And I would

348
00:19:47,119 --> 00:19:49,760
Speaker 1: add another surprising race to many observers as the New

349
00:19:49,800 --> 00:19:52,040
Speaker 1: York governor's race. I'm coming up at Lee Zelden is

350
00:19:52,040 --> 00:19:56,080
Speaker 1: going to be Kathie helpful there. Zeldon's gonna win as well. Yeah,

351
00:19:56,119 --> 00:19:59,920
Speaker 1: I do. Yeah, And I believe that because the Democrat

352
00:20:01,119 --> 00:20:07,040
Speaker 1: have put their ideology ahead of the concrete material interests

353
00:20:07,080 --> 00:20:09,920
Speaker 1: of normal Americans. As I write about and only strong

354
00:20:10,040 --> 00:20:13,080
Speaker 1: this goes back one hundred years to the progressive movement,

355
00:20:13,960 --> 00:20:17,800
Speaker 1: and really it's founder and Patriot Saint Woodrow Wilson, that

356
00:20:17,840 --> 00:20:22,960
Speaker 1: they put ideology above things like stable prices in better jobs,

357
00:20:23,320 --> 00:20:28,120
Speaker 1: and sound education, safe street, secure borders, a strong military,

358
00:20:28,320 --> 00:20:30,399
Speaker 1: to win wars. We have to fight them, hopefully to

359
00:20:30,480 --> 00:20:33,399
Speaker 1: deter them from happening in the first place, in a

360
00:20:33,480 --> 00:20:36,520
Speaker 1: state like New York or Washington or Oregon. You know,

361
00:20:36,720 --> 00:20:38,600
Speaker 1: as I've told some of our chamist and you can't

362
00:20:38,600 --> 00:20:42,360
Speaker 1: just run a partisan campaign because there aren't enough Republicans

363
00:20:42,400 --> 00:20:45,960
Speaker 1: to win. It's like Glen Yonkin ran last year in Virginia.

364
00:20:46,280 --> 00:20:51,240
Speaker 1: It's a campaign that's focused on the common sense aspirations,

365
00:20:51,640 --> 00:20:55,960
Speaker 1: needs and interests of normal Americans. The American people have

366
00:20:56,040 --> 00:20:59,040
Speaker 1: a sound head on their shoulders. They are not ideologues,

367
00:20:59,200 --> 00:21:02,680
Speaker 1: unlike the progress have left in America today, and they

368
00:21:02,760 --> 00:21:05,440
Speaker 1: don't want leaders who put their own ideology ahead of

369
00:21:05,480 --> 00:21:07,640
Speaker 1: their interests. And that's exactly what you're going to see

370
00:21:07,680 --> 00:21:10,879
Speaker 1: in places like Washington and Oregon and New York, to

371
00:21:10,920 --> 00:21:14,159
Speaker 1: say nothing of slightly more Republican states. We're speaking of

372
00:21:14,200 --> 00:21:16,960
Speaker 1: Senator Tom Cotton and Senator to that end, I'm wondering

373
00:21:17,680 --> 00:21:20,520
Speaker 1: for anybody, and we've got a reach into all fifty

374
00:21:20,600 --> 00:21:23,160
Speaker 1: states here. We've got stations or people listening in all

375
00:21:23,200 --> 00:21:26,760
Speaker 1: the competitive races right now, for anyone who's sitting around,

376
00:21:26,960 --> 00:21:28,719
Speaker 1: they're thinking, am I am I going to get up?

377
00:21:28,720 --> 00:21:29,960
Speaker 1: Am I going to vote? Who am I going to

378
00:21:30,040 --> 00:21:31,920
Speaker 1: vote for? They still have any questions in their head

379
00:21:31,920 --> 00:21:34,720
Speaker 1: whatsoever about Let's just say, in these Senate races that

380
00:21:34,760 --> 00:21:37,960
Speaker 1: are very close, what is a fifty two or fifty

381
00:21:38,040 --> 00:21:42,040
Speaker 1: three seat Republican Senate majority mean for the next two

382
00:21:42,119 --> 00:21:47,840
Speaker 1: years were the simplest and fastest accomplishment will be that

383
00:21:47,960 --> 00:21:51,439
Speaker 1: we put the breaks on the Democrats ideological agenda. The

384
00:21:51,520 --> 00:21:54,200
Speaker 1: reason we have thirteen percent inflation since Joe Biden took

385
00:21:54,240 --> 00:21:57,280
Speaker 1: office is the Democrats of trillion dollars that we don't

386
00:21:57,280 --> 00:22:00,720
Speaker 1: have and the economy didn't need all that style. When

387
00:22:00,760 --> 00:22:04,120
Speaker 1: we win this election and take power in January, we

388
00:22:04,119 --> 00:22:07,000
Speaker 1: can also use Congress as spending power to make some

389
00:22:07,119 --> 00:22:11,520
Speaker 1: incremental games to help reduce inflation, to help get people

390
00:22:11,560 --> 00:22:15,959
Speaker 1: back to work, hopefully to forestall or weaken the intensity

391
00:22:16,000 --> 00:22:19,120
Speaker 1: of a recession that Joe Biden inflation may be causing

392
00:22:19,240 --> 00:22:22,520
Speaker 1: right now. To insist that Joe Biden take more steps

393
00:22:23,240 --> 00:22:25,960
Speaker 1: to secure our border. You know, when I was in

394
00:22:26,000 --> 00:22:28,120
Speaker 1: the Senate the first two years. In the last two

395
00:22:28,160 --> 00:22:30,080
Speaker 1: years of the Obama presidency, we are able to use

396
00:22:30,080 --> 00:22:32,879
Speaker 1: the spending power for some such accomplishments, like, for instance,

397
00:22:32,920 --> 00:22:36,320
Speaker 1: lifting the ban on exporting of oil, which only helped

398
00:22:36,400 --> 00:22:38,680
Speaker 1: us produce more oil here at America's since we could

399
00:22:38,760 --> 00:22:41,400
Speaker 1: now sell it all around the world. A third thing

400
00:22:41,480 --> 00:22:43,879
Speaker 1: is that we're going to use our oversight power to

401
00:22:43,960 --> 00:22:46,760
Speaker 1: get to the bottom of exactly what the ad Biden

402
00:22:46,800 --> 00:22:50,800
Speaker 1: administration has been doing to abuse its power. Why, for instance,

403
00:22:51,359 --> 00:22:55,159
Speaker 1: is the FBI conducting raids against pro life activists for

404
00:22:55,280 --> 00:22:58,240
Speaker 1: the grave sin and crime of singing hymns in front

405
00:22:58,240 --> 00:23:02,720
Speaker 1: of abortion clinics, while pregnancy crisis centers are being vandalized

406
00:23:02,880 --> 00:23:05,239
Speaker 1: and even firebombed in some cases, yet there's never been

407
00:23:05,240 --> 00:23:09,160
Speaker 1: an arrest in them. You know, what's the administration proposing

408
00:23:09,160 --> 00:23:13,040
Speaker 1: to do with these eighty seven thousand new RS agents,

409
00:23:12,800 --> 00:23:15,240
Speaker 1: What exactly have they been up to in the Department

410
00:23:15,240 --> 00:23:18,159
Speaker 1: of Justice and persecuting parents who have the audacity to

411
00:23:18,240 --> 00:23:20,760
Speaker 1: go to school boards to speak up on behalf of

412
00:23:20,800 --> 00:23:24,919
Speaker 1: their kids education. I promised thoroughgoing probing inquiries into the

413
00:23:24,960 --> 00:23:27,600
Speaker 1: abuses of the abiding administration. Those are just a few

414
00:23:27,600 --> 00:23:29,840
Speaker 1: things that you can expect to vote Republican, and I'd

415
00:23:29,920 --> 00:23:31,080
Speaker 1: urge you all to get out and vote in the

416
00:23:31,080 --> 00:23:34,560
Speaker 1: next seven days, no doubt. Last question for you, Senator Cotton,

417
00:23:34,640 --> 00:23:37,240
Speaker 1: you wrote a op ed for The New York Times,

418
00:23:37,440 --> 00:23:39,600
Speaker 1: which I agreed with at the time it was published,

419
00:23:39,920 --> 00:23:42,560
Speaker 1: that we needed to get our riots, that that summer

420
00:23:42,600 --> 00:23:46,240
Speaker 1: of twenty twenty under control, and that might involve bringing

421
00:23:46,240 --> 00:23:49,240
Speaker 1: out the National Guard to help patrol city streets and

422
00:23:50,040 --> 00:23:53,040
Speaker 1: get places back to normal the I believe I got

423
00:23:53,040 --> 00:23:55,960
Speaker 1: this correct. The executive editor of the New York Times

424
00:23:56,160 --> 00:24:00,800
Speaker 1: editorial page lost his job over that article even being published.

425
00:24:01,320 --> 00:24:03,840
Speaker 1: The Washington Post. I'm sure you saw this. I haven't

426
00:24:03,840 --> 00:24:06,600
Speaker 1: seen a response, but the Washington Post two and a

427
00:24:06,600 --> 00:24:10,080
Speaker 1: half years later came out and said, oh, that was wrong.

428
00:24:10,240 --> 00:24:13,720
Speaker 1: That shouldn't have happened. What does it say about left

429
00:24:13,760 --> 00:24:16,560
Speaker 1: wing cowardice that it took two and a half years

430
00:24:16,960 --> 00:24:19,920
Speaker 1: for anybody to even stand up for the belief that

431
00:24:19,960 --> 00:24:24,080
Speaker 1: your opinion was valid and should be able to be shared. Yeah,

432
00:24:24,359 --> 00:24:26,480
Speaker 1: and you know that Washington Post story. It said that,

433
00:24:26,640 --> 00:24:28,439
Speaker 1: and we knew it was wrong at the time. We

434
00:24:28,600 --> 00:24:31,159
Speaker 1: definitely didn't say it at the time because we were scared.

435
00:24:31,280 --> 00:24:33,400
Speaker 1: I think that's the exact language. Scared of their own

436
00:24:33,760 --> 00:24:37,040
Speaker 1: readers and subscribers, scared of their left wing workforce, just

437
00:24:37,119 --> 00:24:39,760
Speaker 1: like The New York Times had a woke rebellion among

438
00:24:39,760 --> 00:24:43,560
Speaker 1: the little social justice warriors working there. I think the

439
00:24:43,560 --> 00:24:47,440
Speaker 1: bigger question is what are they suppressing now? What information

440
00:24:47,480 --> 00:24:50,000
Speaker 1: are they not sharing? What are they trying to censor?

441
00:24:50,160 --> 00:24:51,920
Speaker 1: And I touch on this sum and only the strong.

442
00:24:52,040 --> 00:24:54,440
Speaker 1: This is part of the progressive less playbook, going back

443
00:24:54,440 --> 00:24:57,920
Speaker 1: to Woodrow Wilson a hundred years ago. Rather than engage

444
00:24:58,240 --> 00:25:02,200
Speaker 1: in a debate the merits and then try to subject

445
00:25:02,200 --> 00:25:04,800
Speaker 1: it to stay, legislative votes are ultimately the ballot box,

446
00:25:05,119 --> 00:25:07,679
Speaker 1: the left would prefer to censor information with which it

447
00:25:07,720 --> 00:25:10,040
Speaker 1: doesn't agree. You know, that was one example from twenty

448
00:25:10,080 --> 00:25:13,240
Speaker 1: twenty of the riots in the summer. Remember in early

449
00:25:13,280 --> 00:25:16,040
Speaker 1: twenty twenty I also said, you know, I don't think

450
00:25:16,080 --> 00:25:18,760
Speaker 1: this coronavirus came from a market in Wuhan. I think

451
00:25:18,760 --> 00:25:20,760
Speaker 1: it probably came from these laboratories, and we should at

452
00:25:20,840 --> 00:25:23,919
Speaker 1: least examine the question. And again I was condemned as

453
00:25:23,960 --> 00:25:28,400
Speaker 1: a conspiracy theorist, and then I was probably fomenting racism

454
00:25:28,400 --> 00:25:31,879
Speaker 1: and nativism and xenophobia. Or later in the election, about

455
00:25:31,880 --> 00:25:34,720
Speaker 1: this time of year when big Tech censored The New

456
00:25:34,800 --> 00:25:37,199
Speaker 1: York Post and refused to allow people to share stories

457
00:25:37,240 --> 00:25:39,800
Speaker 1: about Hunter Biden's laptop. Well, two years later, we know

458
00:25:39,880 --> 00:25:41,840
Speaker 1: that most of those were sure. You know, Hunter Biden's

459
00:25:41,880 --> 00:25:45,240
Speaker 1: laptop definitely is real, and most normal people would common

460
00:25:45,280 --> 00:25:48,960
Speaker 1: sense think that this virus came from those labs. Yet

461
00:25:48,960 --> 00:25:52,480
Speaker 1: the Democrats still want to censor any opinion that goes

462
00:25:52,680 --> 00:25:57,000
Speaker 1: against their left wing perspective. So if you think, for instance,

463
00:25:57,040 --> 00:26:00,480
Speaker 1: that maybe a healthy teenage boy shouldn't get the coronavirus vaccine,

464
00:26:00,760 --> 00:26:04,480
Speaker 1: or healthy teenage girls shouldn't have a double mastectomy, or

465
00:26:04,520 --> 00:26:07,040
Speaker 1: that maybe there were irregularities that we should examine and

466
00:26:07,080 --> 00:26:10,280
Speaker 1: certainly not repeat in this election from the last election,

467
00:26:10,640 --> 00:26:14,399
Speaker 1: or that climate change, while real, could be better handled

468
00:26:14,520 --> 00:26:17,920
Speaker 1: with more fossil fuel production and more innovation and more

469
00:26:18,480 --> 00:26:21,879
Speaker 1: economic prosperity. Rather than engage those on their own terms,

470
00:26:21,960 --> 00:26:24,840
Speaker 1: the progressive left simply tries to censor them. And this

471
00:26:24,880 --> 00:26:27,280
Speaker 1: is part of their playbook going back one hundred years.

472
00:26:27,280 --> 00:26:30,200
Speaker 1: As I explain, and only the strong the book is

473
00:26:30,200 --> 00:26:33,879
Speaker 1: only the strong. Senator Tom Cotton, appreciate you being with us.

474
00:26:33,880 --> 00:26:36,280
Speaker 1: Thanks gentlemen, it's been fun clag You know. I don't

475
00:26:36,320 --> 00:26:39,280
Speaker 1: know if you know this about me, but I am

476
00:26:39,440 --> 00:26:44,000
Speaker 1: a world class expert on action movies and even specifically

477
00:26:44,000 --> 00:26:47,879
Speaker 1: what I would call the sub genre of action movies

478
00:26:47,880 --> 00:26:50,760
Speaker 1: that are martial arts films. Have you ever seen the

479
00:26:50,840 --> 00:26:54,919
Speaker 1: movie Only the Strong? I have not. It is about

480
00:26:54,960 --> 00:26:58,480
Speaker 1: the Brazilian martial art known as Capawera. It came out

481
00:26:58,560 --> 00:27:02,159
Speaker 1: in the nineteen nineties. It has quite a catchy soundtrack

482
00:27:02,600 --> 00:27:06,520
Speaker 1: for the capuaristas listening right now. Bon On away, guys,

483
00:27:07,200 --> 00:27:09,719
Speaker 1: bon away, they know what I'm talking about. I have

484
00:27:09,760 --> 00:27:12,080
Speaker 1: no idea what's been It's literally it's like a Brazilian

485
00:27:12,480 --> 00:27:15,560
Speaker 1: dance martial art called capuara, and the movie is called

486
00:27:15,600 --> 00:27:18,040
Speaker 1: Only the Strong sod. I don't think Ceator Cotton knows

487
00:27:18,080 --> 00:27:20,639
Speaker 1: about that either, But martial arts films, man, I'm all

488
00:27:20,680 --> 00:27:24,000
Speaker 1: about it. For that overlap of our audience, you just

Speaker 1: the Governor's race in Oregon. And want to thank all

512

Speaker 1: of our affiliates up there in Albany, K L O O,

Speaker 1: course k X in Portland. Amazing, Raisin, Christine, Raisin back

515
00:29:05,600 --> 00:29:09,360
Speaker 1: with us now, Christine, you're looking pretty good in the polls,

516
00:29:09,400 --> 00:29:12,080
Speaker 1: but we know it's pedal to the metal. What's going

517
00:29:12,160 --> 00:29:14,040
Speaker 1: on right now? What are they throwing at you? And

518
00:29:14,120 --> 00:29:17,440
Speaker 1: how do you close this deal? Oh you guys, thanks

519
00:29:17,440 --> 00:29:19,440
Speaker 1: again for having me back. I'm so excited to be

520
00:29:19,480 --> 00:29:22,920
Speaker 1: back with you today. Here's the thing. The Democrats have

521
00:29:23,040 --> 00:29:25,400
Speaker 1: all of a sudden decided that they are going to

522
00:29:25,440 --> 00:29:28,040
Speaker 1: campaign in this race and they're going to try to

523
00:29:28,760 --> 00:29:31,120
Speaker 1: actually win. There. For a while, I thought that they

524
00:29:31,120 --> 00:29:34,680
Speaker 1: were just determined to lose because they were trying to

525
00:29:34,720 --> 00:29:37,760
Speaker 1: manipulate voters and sail the things. But now they've doubled

526
00:29:37,760 --> 00:29:40,880
Speaker 1: down on that and they're spending even more money than

527
00:29:40,920 --> 00:29:43,560
Speaker 1: they were before to misleading light of voters. But it

528
00:29:43,640 --> 00:29:46,520
Speaker 1: does look like they weren't taking this race for grant anymore,

529
00:29:46,520 --> 00:29:49,480
Speaker 1: which means this. I need anybody that wants to change

530
00:29:49,520 --> 00:29:52,800
Speaker 1: in the state of Oregon to vote. The pedal doesn't medal,

531
00:29:53,040 --> 00:29:56,400
Speaker 1: and this final week of this race is really all

532
00:29:56,440 --> 00:29:59,880
Speaker 1: about in Oregon getting people to take the bout the

533
00:30:00,040 --> 00:30:03,520
Speaker 1: sitting on the kitchen counter, fill it out, and turn

534
00:30:03,600 --> 00:30:06,680
Speaker 1: it in because we don't have in person voting. We

535
00:30:06,800 --> 00:30:09,640
Speaker 1: have all vote by mail. In my state, people have

536
00:30:09,720 --> 00:30:13,160
Speaker 1: had their ballots for a couple of weeks. So I

537
00:30:13,280 --> 00:30:16,360
Speaker 1: need he to Oregonians to get real serious, real fast

538
00:30:16,440 --> 00:30:19,680
Speaker 1: about turning their ballots in and helping us pull us

539
00:30:19,680 --> 00:30:22,840
Speaker 1: across the finish line, because the Democrats are just waking up.

540
00:30:22,920 --> 00:30:26,560
Speaker 1: I mean, my opponent Tina Cotech is spending more money

541
00:30:26,960 --> 00:30:30,360
Speaker 1: on YouTube and digital platforms than almost any other candidate

542
00:30:30,400 --> 00:30:33,640
Speaker 1: in the nation because she knows she's losing today. But

543
00:30:33,760 --> 00:30:37,760
Speaker 1: that's only if Oregonians show up and turning their ballots. Christine.

544
00:30:37,880 --> 00:30:41,120
Speaker 1: We started having you on, people said Buck and I

545
00:30:41,240 --> 00:30:43,400
Speaker 1: were crazy for telling them that you were going to

546
00:30:43,480 --> 00:30:46,760
Speaker 1: win in Oregon. And so, first of all, you are

547
00:30:46,800 --> 00:30:49,000
Speaker 1: going to win in Oregon, and Buck and I are

548
00:30:49,040 --> 00:30:51,240
Speaker 1: personally going to come up and celebrate with you in

549
00:30:51,400 --> 00:30:56,000
Speaker 1: Oregon at some point because it's such a monumental event. Yeah,

550
00:30:56,040 --> 00:30:58,239
Speaker 1: for you to take like when you came on and

551
00:30:58,280 --> 00:31:00,920
Speaker 1: talked about the fact that for the first nineteen eighties

552
00:31:00,920 --> 00:31:03,960
Speaker 1: a Republican can win, it feels like such a seismic moment.

553
00:31:04,080 --> 00:31:07,360
Speaker 1: So we need everybody out there to support you. I'm

554
00:31:07,400 --> 00:31:09,840
Speaker 1: curious as we come down the stretch and I've started

555
00:31:09,880 --> 00:31:12,320
Speaker 1: to read all these articles in Politico and New York

556
00:31:12,360 --> 00:31:15,720
Speaker 1: Times and everywhere else where, They're like, oh, this Christine

557
00:31:15,760 --> 00:31:18,120
Speaker 1: Dreysen has a real chance of winning in Oregon. And

558
00:31:18,520 --> 00:31:21,560
Speaker 1: as they've all started to panic a little bit, what's

559
00:31:21,560 --> 00:31:25,040
Speaker 1: the craziest thing that you have seen said about you

560
00:31:25,320 --> 00:31:28,840
Speaker 1: that's totally not true, but is a sign of the

561
00:31:28,880 --> 00:31:31,840
Speaker 1: desperation sort of. The example that I use is you

562
00:31:31,920 --> 00:31:35,160
Speaker 1: move from you have no chance to suddenly your opponents

563
00:31:35,160 --> 00:31:37,880
Speaker 1: are just throwing haymakers at you left and right, and

564
00:31:38,000 --> 00:31:40,600
Speaker 1: oftentimes there's no reality to them at all. It's like

565
00:31:40,600 --> 00:31:45,240
Speaker 1: a boxing match. They're losing and they're panicked. Yeah, they

566
00:31:45,320 --> 00:31:48,720
Speaker 1: are associating me with people and entities I've never met

567
00:31:48,760 --> 00:31:52,800
Speaker 1: and never heard of. Of course they are. They're just

568
00:31:53,080 --> 00:31:57,360
Speaker 1: literally making stuff up. It's like they rolled out of

569
00:31:57,400 --> 00:31:59,880
Speaker 1: bed in the morning and they went, well, I mean,

570
00:32:00,360 --> 00:32:02,240
Speaker 1: I don't know, what do you want to say? They're

571
00:32:02,280 --> 00:32:05,360
Speaker 1: just making it up. And the thing about it is

572
00:32:05,360 --> 00:32:08,080
Speaker 1: is that it's all It's all a way to distract

573
00:32:08,120 --> 00:32:10,840
Speaker 1: from their field records. We know that she can't actually

574
00:32:10,880 --> 00:32:14,880
Speaker 1: talk about what it feels like to live here, Homelessness, affordability,

575
00:32:15,440 --> 00:32:19,320
Speaker 1: you know, our schools are just plummeting, you name it.

576
00:32:19,600 --> 00:32:22,200
Speaker 1: Like all the issues, all the kitchen table issues that

577
00:32:22,240 --> 00:32:26,080
Speaker 1: affect people data in my beautiful home state are just

578
00:32:26,360 --> 00:32:29,480
Speaker 1: in the toilet right now because of Tina Cotex leadership

579
00:32:29,480 --> 00:32:32,720
Speaker 1: and Kate Brown leadership together, and we find ourselves in

580
00:32:32,760 --> 00:32:35,280
Speaker 1: this position where they can't talk about that, so they're

581
00:32:35,280 --> 00:32:38,120
Speaker 1: just making stuff up about me. And I'm just trying

582
00:32:38,160 --> 00:32:40,760
Speaker 1: to talk directly to Oregon voters and say are you

583
00:32:40,840 --> 00:32:43,400
Speaker 1: better off today than you were four years ago? The answers, no,

584
00:32:44,120 --> 00:32:47,960
Speaker 1: vote for change. Join me, Let's get this done. We're

585
00:32:47,960 --> 00:32:49,960
Speaker 1: talking to Christine dreys in the next governor or the

586
00:32:49,960 --> 00:32:52,600
Speaker 1: great State of Oregon. As long as all of you

587
00:32:52,640 --> 00:32:56,520
Speaker 1: get your votes in Christine. When you look around, Buck

588
00:32:56,560 --> 00:32:59,080
Speaker 1: and I have been talking about this. Tutor Dixon's a

589
00:32:59,120 --> 00:33:01,800
Speaker 1: mom of four in Michigan. She's having a lot of

590
00:33:01,840 --> 00:33:05,040
Speaker 1: success trying to take down Gretchen Whitmer. Heidigen Al is

591
00:33:05,120 --> 00:33:08,520
Speaker 1: running in Colorado and she yet called a mad mom,

592
00:33:08,840 --> 00:33:11,800
Speaker 1: and it seems like that has really sort of energized

593
00:33:11,800 --> 00:33:15,120
Speaker 1: her campaign. Certainly, Tiffany Smiley up there in the Pacific

594
00:33:15,120 --> 00:33:17,480
Speaker 1: Northwest with you in Washington is having a lot of

595
00:33:17,520 --> 00:33:20,520
Speaker 1: success running against Patty Murray. Why do you think In

596
00:33:20,560 --> 00:33:23,480
Speaker 1: the Wall Street Journal today there's a great article about

597
00:33:23,480 --> 00:33:28,840
Speaker 1: how suburban women are overwhelmingly breaking for Republicans right now.

598
00:33:28,880 --> 00:33:31,840
Speaker 1: Many of those suburban women obviously are moms. Why do

599
00:33:31,920 --> 00:33:36,360
Speaker 1: you think that there's that national tide of women, moms

600
00:33:36,360 --> 00:33:39,920
Speaker 1: in particular, who are finally saying we've had enough, Because

601
00:33:39,920 --> 00:33:41,640
Speaker 1: I think that's a big impetus that you're getting in

602
00:33:41,720 --> 00:33:45,840
Speaker 1: Oregon as well. Yeah, no, it absolutely is, and it

603
00:33:45,880 --> 00:33:48,480
Speaker 1: really is just about our families and our kids, and

604
00:33:48,680 --> 00:33:53,360
Speaker 1: Oregon in particular. Our schools were shut down longer than

605
00:33:53,440 --> 00:33:59,120
Speaker 1: even California. Kids in Oregon, we're not getting an education

606
00:33:59,160 --> 00:34:02,800
Speaker 1: for almost two years. Their school check ins would be

607
00:34:02,840 --> 00:34:08,000
Speaker 1: a couple of hours a day inaggregate, so they'd spend

608
00:34:08,000 --> 00:34:10,759
Speaker 1: fifteen minutes online with one teacher and then log out.

609
00:34:10,880 --> 00:34:13,160
Speaker 1: They never have to show their screens, nobody ever has

610
00:34:13,200 --> 00:34:15,439
Speaker 1: to see their faces, and they'd have once a week

611
00:34:15,520 --> 00:34:18,240
Speaker 1: check on check in for their social and emotional health.

612
00:34:18,680 --> 00:34:22,400
Speaker 1: It was a joke, and families knew it. Kids certainly

613
00:34:22,480 --> 00:34:25,800
Speaker 1: knew it, and moms are standing up saying never again,

614
00:34:26,200 --> 00:34:28,960
Speaker 1: never again, Like it's not safe in our streets here.

615
00:34:29,480 --> 00:34:33,600
Speaker 1: Crime is skyrocketing in our state, and homelessness is everywhere.

616
00:34:33,640 --> 00:34:35,760
Speaker 1: It's not safe for kids to go to the park's

617
00:34:35,800 --> 00:34:38,000
Speaker 1: not safe for them to walk to schools. Like once

618
00:34:38,040 --> 00:34:40,319
Speaker 1: you're at the point where you don't feel comfortable letting

619
00:34:40,320 --> 00:34:41,920
Speaker 1: your kids play out in the front yard because there

620
00:34:42,000 --> 00:34:44,120
Speaker 1: might be a homeless person that's gonna try to root

621
00:34:44,160 --> 00:34:48,600
Speaker 1: through your trash like something's broken. And they are looking

622
00:34:48,600 --> 00:34:51,279
Speaker 1: around saying, we need change, and we believe the only

623
00:34:51,320 --> 00:34:53,000
Speaker 1: way to get this done is to vote Republican in

624
00:34:53,000 --> 00:34:55,480
Speaker 1: the state of Oregon. And they're right. We're speaking right

625
00:34:55,520 --> 00:34:58,600
Speaker 1: now to Christine Draisen. She is running for governor. Christine

626
00:34:58,719 --> 00:35:02,080
Speaker 1: for Oregon dot com is her site. Those of you

627
00:35:02,200 --> 00:35:06,960
Speaker 1: who can please consider helping out in this incredibly important victory.

628
00:35:07,000 --> 00:35:08,640
Speaker 1: I think she's going to do a great job. Also,

629
00:35:08,719 --> 00:35:12,600
Speaker 1: side note, the Libs on MSNBC will, honestly, guys, they

630
00:35:12,640 --> 00:35:15,439
Speaker 1: will be shattered. The snowflakes will be melted all over

631
00:35:15,520 --> 00:35:19,120
Speaker 1: the liberal media if Oregon goes red at the governor's race.

632
00:35:19,160 --> 00:35:21,560
Speaker 1: So for that alone, you should be very fired up

633
00:35:21,560 --> 00:35:24,880
Speaker 1: about this. Everyone listening, But I did want to ask you, Christine,

634
00:35:25,080 --> 00:35:26,960
Speaker 1: if you become and we believe you will be, but

635
00:35:27,080 --> 00:35:29,160
Speaker 1: we don't want to get ahead of ourselves. But if

636
00:35:29,160 --> 00:35:31,399
Speaker 1: you become the next governor of Oregon, you're talking about

637
00:35:31,400 --> 00:35:34,880
Speaker 1: these challenges, these issues. COVID showed people that the governor

638
00:35:34,920 --> 00:35:37,759
Speaker 1: really matters, that the state powers that a governor has

639
00:35:37,800 --> 00:35:41,560
Speaker 1: can make a huge difference for better or for worse. Unfortunately,

640
00:35:41,600 --> 00:35:43,759
Speaker 1: in places like New York it was for worse. And

641
00:35:43,920 --> 00:35:46,960
Speaker 1: in Oregon. What would you do though, What are some

642
00:35:46,960 --> 00:35:49,080
Speaker 1: of the things that you know you could do if

643
00:35:49,080 --> 00:35:52,799
Speaker 1: you have the governor's powers to make Oregonians lives just

644
00:35:52,880 --> 00:35:55,839
Speaker 1: a little bit better, a little bit safer. Yeah, I

645
00:35:55,880 --> 00:35:58,880
Speaker 1: am committed to addressing the home of crisis. It's the

646
00:35:58,960 --> 00:36:01,160
Speaker 1: number one issue in our state and I look forward

647
00:36:01,200 --> 00:36:03,239
Speaker 1: to look forward to hosting you guys when you come

648
00:36:03,239 --> 00:36:07,000
Speaker 1: out next But the reality for us living here in

649
00:36:07,080 --> 00:36:09,840
Speaker 1: Oregon is that the homeless crisis is out of control,

650
00:36:10,320 --> 00:36:12,799
Speaker 1: and so I will declare a homelessness state of emergency

651
00:36:12,840 --> 00:36:15,280
Speaker 1: on day one. That's going to allow me as governor

652
00:36:15,360 --> 00:36:17,680
Speaker 1: to take the reins of our response to homelessness and

653
00:36:18,080 --> 00:36:22,040
Speaker 1: align resources and ensure that local governments aren't overwhelmed by

654
00:36:22,120 --> 00:36:24,640
Speaker 1: these populations that have come into their communities and there

655
00:36:24,640 --> 00:36:27,720
Speaker 1: just aren't enough resources to address it. So, as governor,

656
00:36:27,800 --> 00:36:31,440
Speaker 1: declaring that homelessness state of emergency allows me to ensure

657
00:36:31,480 --> 00:36:34,080
Speaker 1: that the state is engaged in that issue in a way,

658
00:36:34,080 --> 00:36:37,080
Speaker 1: that there's real leadership from the top down, and that

659
00:36:37,200 --> 00:36:39,520
Speaker 1: we are getting people off the streets. We have got

660
00:36:39,640 --> 00:36:42,600
Speaker 1: to both provide compassion, get folks the help they need

661
00:36:42,640 --> 00:36:46,480
Speaker 1: to get sober and stay sober, and also accountability if

662
00:36:46,480 --> 00:36:49,640
Speaker 1: they refuse help, if they refuse assistance, if they refuse

663
00:36:49,760 --> 00:36:52,800
Speaker 1: to go to the shelter, Okay, you can't stay here,

664
00:36:53,239 --> 00:36:55,359
Speaker 1: and for too long, they haven't taken that approach when

665
00:36:55,360 --> 00:36:58,240
Speaker 1: it comes to the homeless populations on our street. Instead,

666
00:36:58,480 --> 00:37:01,360
Speaker 1: they looked around and they said, this is a housing crisis. Okay,

667
00:37:01,360 --> 00:37:03,799
Speaker 1: we need more housing one hundred percent. And also that's

668
00:37:03,840 --> 00:37:06,560
Speaker 1: not the crisis that the humanitarian crisis. And families know

669
00:37:06,680 --> 00:37:10,440
Speaker 1: it because when they walk past our homeless populations, they

670
00:37:10,480 --> 00:37:12,719
Speaker 1: know that the folks that are out there on their

671
00:37:12,760 --> 00:37:16,600
Speaker 1: streets are facing addictions, they're facing challenges, aren't just simply

672
00:37:16,640 --> 00:37:18,520
Speaker 1: they don't have a place to live at night. So

673
00:37:18,680 --> 00:37:21,120
Speaker 1: homelessness is number one but we you know, I'm going

674
00:37:21,160 --> 00:37:23,520
Speaker 1: to support police. I'm going to fully fund our state troopers.

675
00:37:23,560 --> 00:37:26,080
Speaker 1: That means we're going to have a presence of law enforcement,

676
00:37:26,320 --> 00:37:28,560
Speaker 1: so we haven't seen in years and we desperately need.

677
00:37:28,880 --> 00:37:32,840
Speaker 1: And I'm going to restore graduation standards. Graduation requirements in

678
00:37:32,880 --> 00:37:36,359
Speaker 1: our state. Kina Cootech and Kate Brown abandoned our kids.

679
00:37:36,440 --> 00:37:38,680
Speaker 1: They threw our kids under the bus during COVID. But

680
00:37:38,760 --> 00:37:43,359
Speaker 1: even before that time, our outcomes for our class in

681
00:37:43,360 --> 00:37:47,200
Speaker 1: our classrooms, our kids ability to hit proficiency in reading,

682
00:37:47,400 --> 00:37:50,640
Speaker 1: math and science was always below the national average. Who

683
00:37:50,640 --> 00:37:52,719
Speaker 1: are among the worst in the nation for how for

684
00:37:52,840 --> 00:37:55,200
Speaker 1: our ability to actually graduate kids. So what do they do?

685
00:37:55,560 --> 00:37:58,000
Speaker 1: They lowered the standards so that more kids could pass

686
00:37:58,080 --> 00:38:00,480
Speaker 1: that bar. That's not serving our kid So I'm going

687
00:38:00,520 --> 00:38:03,319
Speaker 1: to restore those graduation requirements and I'm going to ensure

688
00:38:03,360 --> 00:38:05,640
Speaker 1: that what we're focused on the classroom is not politics,

689
00:38:06,000 --> 00:38:08,439
Speaker 1: but it really is reading, writing, and mass like, let's

690
00:38:08,440 --> 00:38:10,880
Speaker 1: get back to the basics and let's help our students succeed.

691
00:38:11,239 --> 00:38:14,600
Speaker 1: So education, homelessness, public safety, and the last part of

692
00:38:14,640 --> 00:38:17,920
Speaker 1: this has got to be affordability. Organ is one of

693
00:38:18,280 --> 00:38:21,160
Speaker 1: the least affordable places to live in the nation, in

694
00:38:21,320 --> 00:38:24,000
Speaker 1: large part due to Kate Brown and Tina Cootech doubling

695
00:38:24,040 --> 00:38:25,880
Speaker 1: the size of state government in the ten years that

696
00:38:25,960 --> 00:38:29,520
Speaker 1: they've been in charge together. That has meant higher taxes.

697
00:38:30,760 --> 00:38:32,640
Speaker 1: We're among one of the highest states in the nation

698
00:38:32,680 --> 00:38:35,359
Speaker 1: for gas prices. It shouldn't be that way, and so

699
00:38:35,480 --> 00:38:37,919
Speaker 1: I am going to suspend what we have here called

700
00:38:37,960 --> 00:38:41,680
Speaker 1: our clean Fuels program. It was built to suspend it

701
00:38:41,719 --> 00:38:44,160
Speaker 1: if gas prices went through the roof, which they've done here.

702
00:38:44,560 --> 00:38:47,759
Speaker 1: And I'm going to work to roll back rules and

703
00:38:47,800 --> 00:38:50,480
Speaker 1: regulations are driving up costs and certainly will veto any

704
00:38:50,480 --> 00:38:53,080
Speaker 1: tax measure that crosses my desk. We have got to

705
00:38:53,120 --> 00:38:55,799
Speaker 1: get serious about making this an affordable place for Oregonians

706
00:38:55,840 --> 00:38:58,279
Speaker 1: to live and raise your family. She is the next

707
00:38:58,360 --> 00:39:01,120

Speaker 1: doctor Oz is going to win this race. You are

742

Speaker 1: going to win this race. Congrats on your performance in

743
00:40:49,680 --> 00:40:52,800
Speaker 1: the debate. What is the absolute latest on the ground

744
00:40:52,840 --> 00:40:56,719
Speaker 1: from your perspective one week out, Well, we've got momentum,

745
00:40:56,760 --> 00:40:59,680
Speaker 1: which is the single most important asset in poptics because

746
00:40:59,680 --> 00:41:03,000
Speaker 1: you can't manufacture. It happens because you're at the right place,

747
00:41:03,040 --> 00:41:05,359
Speaker 1: at the right time, with the right message. I want

748
00:41:05,400 --> 00:41:08,840
Speaker 1: to explicitly reinforce what you just said. You got the

749
00:41:08,920 --> 00:41:12,080
Speaker 1: first you got on board early on. You said it's

750
00:41:12,160 --> 00:41:14,480
Speaker 1: got something that can actually be helpful to Pennsylvania, and

751
00:41:14,520 --> 00:41:17,560
Speaker 1: you did it for the right reasons, I think, and

752
00:41:17,760 --> 00:41:20,040
Speaker 1: I've can talk to each of you separately, but I

753
00:41:20,040 --> 00:41:22,600
Speaker 1: had the kitchen table issues always in my focus, like

754
00:41:22,680 --> 00:41:24,880
Speaker 1: surgeons always do. We focus on the stuff that matters

755
00:41:24,920 --> 00:41:27,800
Speaker 1: the most. So the economy and issues around crime and

756
00:41:28,120 --> 00:41:30,040
Speaker 1: the fact that Pennsylvania is a border state now with

757
00:41:30,080 --> 00:41:33,040
Speaker 1: all the fentinel pouring in here. Those three issues were

758
00:41:33,040 --> 00:41:35,080
Speaker 1: the ones that I focused on. I never took my

759
00:41:35,120 --> 00:41:38,359
Speaker 1: eyes off them. John Federman talked about everything but those

760
00:41:38,400 --> 00:41:40,799
Speaker 1: three issues because he was weak on them. And as

761
00:41:40,840 --> 00:41:43,640
Speaker 1: you saw him the debate last week, he has extreme

762
00:41:43,680 --> 00:41:46,760
Speaker 1: positions that he actually cannot defend. You asked the simplest

763
00:41:46,800 --> 00:41:49,320
Speaker 1: questions around. For example, why would you take such a

764
00:41:49,360 --> 00:41:52,919
Speaker 1: strong stance against fracking, insulting people in the industry, calling

765
00:41:52,920 --> 00:41:55,640
Speaker 1: it a stand on Pennsylvania, saying you've never been supportive

766
00:41:55,680 --> 00:41:56,640
Speaker 1: of it, and then all of a sudden in the

767
00:41:56,760 --> 00:41:59,320
Speaker 1: last month, you're pretending you like it, even though people

768
00:41:59,320 --> 00:42:01,000
Speaker 1: in the energy in the you're scared of you. And

769
00:42:01,080 --> 00:42:03,719
Speaker 1: that's a major hit on the economy of Pennsylvania. Eighty

770
00:42:03,760 --> 00:42:06,960
Speaker 1: billion dollars plus i'll revenue, and you can't defend it.

771
00:42:07,000 --> 00:42:10,240
Speaker 1: Why do you always protect the murderers over the victims

772
00:42:10,239 --> 00:42:12,400
Speaker 1: and the innocent doesn't have a defense. Why did you

773
00:42:12,400 --> 00:42:15,760
Speaker 1: try to raise taxes? In fact, fifty roughly fifty percent

774
00:42:15,800 --> 00:42:18,040
Speaker 1: tax increase he tried to get in Pennsylvania. He didn't

775
00:42:18,040 --> 00:42:20,720
Speaker 1: pay his own taxes sixty seven times. But I always

776
00:42:20,719 --> 00:42:23,319
Speaker 1: said that if he's the person who will bring more

777
00:42:23,320 --> 00:42:25,879
Speaker 1: extreme ideas to Washington, which is part of the reason

778
00:42:26,000 --> 00:42:29,239
Speaker 1: Washington gets it wrong, I'll bring balance to Washington. I'll

779
00:42:29,239 --> 00:42:32,279
Speaker 1: make sure that the partisan bickering is not the dominant theme.

780
00:42:32,320 --> 00:42:36,000
Speaker 1: But actually we deal with the problems facing Pennsylvania voters. So,

781
00:42:36,320 --> 00:42:38,279
Speaker 1: doctor Oles, I always think it's so interesting that in

782
00:42:38,320 --> 00:42:43,160
Speaker 1: the medical field, overwhelmingly surgeons are the most politically conservative,

783
00:42:43,480 --> 00:42:46,040
Speaker 1: and it is psychiatrists who are bringing up the rear

784
00:42:46,120 --> 00:42:49,120
Speaker 1: as the most left wing. All the data shows that.

785
00:42:49,400 --> 00:42:51,719
Speaker 1: I wanted to ask you, though, what it's looking like

786
00:42:52,160 --> 00:42:55,879
Speaker 1: on the ground right now. You got early voting underway,

787
00:42:55,920 --> 00:43:00,160
Speaker 1: They got a well oiled Democrat machine arrayed against you.

788
00:43:01,120 --> 00:43:03,799
Speaker 1: What are some factors people need to know? And how

789
00:43:03,880 --> 00:43:07,560
Speaker 1: is your side mobilizing doing the door knocking doing to

790
00:43:07,560 --> 00:43:10,600
Speaker 1: get out the vote effort? Well, you don't start that

791
00:43:10,680 --> 00:43:12,759
Speaker 1: the last week. You start that. Actually in July, the

792
00:43:12,880 --> 00:43:15,920
Speaker 1: dog days of summer, we have a huge group that

793
00:43:16,040 --> 00:43:18,680
Speaker 1: was knocking on doors over one hundred thousand a week,

794
00:43:19,160 --> 00:43:21,560
Speaker 1: A whole program for going back to those same doors

795
00:43:21,640 --> 00:43:23,800
Speaker 1: later on to make sure they actually show up and vote.

796
00:43:23,880 --> 00:43:26,759
Speaker 1: We go after them until they actually do vote. We

797
00:43:26,840 --> 00:43:29,520
Speaker 1: have a very big mail campaign. It's very strong on

798
00:43:29,560 --> 00:43:32,560
Speaker 1: the ground because we had a very close primary. So

799
00:43:32,640 --> 00:43:35,520
Speaker 1: I have lawyers in every part of the state. I've

800
00:43:35,560 --> 00:43:39,440
Speaker 1: got three major headquarters election day operations. I've got people

801
00:43:39,480 --> 00:43:42,240
Speaker 1: who are actually manning all the polls. It's a big investment.

802
00:43:42,520 --> 00:43:44,640
Speaker 1: This is something we're getting right this year. And I

803
00:43:44,680 --> 00:43:47,359
Speaker 1: am confident we're going to win this election. But not

804
00:43:47,400 --> 00:43:49,480
Speaker 1: just because you've got a good election day operation, but

805
00:43:49,600 --> 00:43:52,040
Speaker 1: because we actually we're aheading the polls, because we have

806
00:43:52,120 --> 00:43:54,959
Speaker 1: better ideas and always I mean to work in Pennsylvania's

807
00:43:55,000 --> 00:43:57,279
Speaker 1: doctor roz Clan. I keep saying this, people are just

808
00:43:57,280 --> 00:43:59,800
Speaker 1: trying to pay the bills, get it done. The Democrats

809
00:43:59,800 --> 00:44:02,160
Speaker 1: really don't. I mean the Federman message, which is just

810
00:44:02,239 --> 00:44:05,520
Speaker 1: a mirror image of the Biden Democrat and that nationwide

811
00:44:05,560 --> 00:44:08,680
Speaker 1: message is you know, maybe it'll get better. Shut up

812
00:44:08,680 --> 00:44:10,560
Speaker 1: and deal with the high crime, the high prices, and

813
00:44:10,600 --> 00:44:14,919
Speaker 1: the mess. They ignore the facts. But here's the part

814
00:44:14,960 --> 00:44:18,520
Speaker 1: that stunned me. After the debate, which most people kept

815
00:44:18,560 --> 00:44:22,680
Speaker 1: for the Philadelphia Inquire amazing. Most people thought that I

816
00:44:22,719 --> 00:44:25,080
Speaker 1: did well and he didn't. But after the debate. The

817
00:44:25,080 --> 00:44:29,000
Speaker 1: Democrats that night raised two million dollars and they continue

818
00:44:29,040 --> 00:44:30,839
Speaker 1: to pour money in now. By the way, if that

819
00:44:30,880 --> 00:44:33,000
Speaker 1: bothers you and it should, please support me at doctor

820
00:44:33,040 --> 00:44:35,440
Speaker 1: oz dot com. You know we're raising money as well.

821
00:44:35,440 --> 00:44:39,600
Speaker 1: But this is an unbelievably effective fundraising machine for the Democrats,

822
00:44:39,960 --> 00:44:42,000
Speaker 1: and there's a lot of reasons for it. But we

823
00:44:42,080 --> 00:44:44,319
Speaker 1: finally figured it out and we've cost them and we

824
00:44:44,440 --> 00:44:47,319
Speaker 1: have a better ideas, which is ultimately why elections get one.

825
00:44:47,760 --> 00:44:49,920
Speaker 1: But it is imperative to do what you just discussed,

826
00:44:50,160 --> 00:44:52,480
Speaker 1: make sure you have ground operation, that you're talking to

827
00:44:52,560 --> 00:44:55,480
Speaker 1: people about things they care about. And the Democrats this

828
00:44:55,600 --> 00:44:57,719
Speaker 1: cycle not just in Pennsylvania, but I think it's true

829
00:44:57,719 --> 00:45:00,640
Speaker 1: around the country, have ignored crime, even though people in

830
00:45:00,719 --> 00:45:02,640
Speaker 1: Philadelkia say they feel like that part of a social

831
00:45:02,680 --> 00:45:05,480
Speaker 1: experiment because we have the most homicides ever. They ignore

832
00:45:05,480 --> 00:45:08,640
Speaker 1: the impact of Fennel. We have seven times more according

833
00:45:08,680 --> 00:45:10,440
Speaker 1: to the state troopers who have endorsed me, as has

834
00:45:10,440 --> 00:45:13,439
Speaker 1: the Patrol Order Police seven times more than two years ago.

835
00:45:13,760 --> 00:45:16,399
Speaker 1: Democrats won't acknowledge it. In fact, Federman says he wants

836
00:45:16,400 --> 00:45:18,839
Speaker 1: to legalize all drugs. We know when that was tried

837
00:45:18,880 --> 00:45:22,800
Speaker 1: in Oregon two years ago, fifty percent increase in homicide rates,

838
00:45:22,840 --> 00:45:27,080
Speaker 1: not just drug overdoses, homicide rates because you create lawlessness.

839
00:45:27,400 --> 00:45:29,880
Speaker 1: And eventually Democrats are going to figure this out, but

840
00:45:29,960 --> 00:45:33,319
Speaker 1: it's going to hurt them this cycle, Doctor oz Buck

841
00:45:33,360 --> 00:45:35,160
Speaker 1: and I love to look at the data as it's

842
00:45:35,200 --> 00:45:37,880
Speaker 1: coming in. It may take a while for Pennsylvania to

843
00:45:37,960 --> 00:45:40,600
Speaker 1: be fully reconciled in terms of all the numbers coming

844
00:45:40,640 --> 00:45:45,080
Speaker 1: in what area quickly here in the state. Every vote matters,

845
00:45:45,120 --> 00:45:47,280
Speaker 1: but what area in the state is the most critical

846
00:45:47,360 --> 00:45:50,560
Speaker 1: in your opinion to winning this race. The southeast is

847
00:45:50,680 --> 00:45:53,960
Speaker 1: vital to Philadelphia in suburban areas. The rest of the

848
00:45:54,000 --> 00:45:56,320
Speaker 1: state I think is firmly supportive of our views. And

849
00:45:56,400 --> 00:45:58,479
Speaker 1: Tildak is getting the message as well. And I bought

850
00:45:58,640 --> 00:46:01,520
Speaker 1: ads in every Old Series game just to make sure,

851
00:46:01,560 --> 00:46:03,000
Speaker 1: and of course it's been in the Eagles games the

852
00:46:03,040 --> 00:46:06,000
Speaker 1: whole time as well. Well. There we go. Absolutely love it,

853
00:46:06,400 --> 00:46:09,360
Speaker 1: doctor Oz. We appreciate you, man. We are looking forward

854
00:46:09,360 --> 00:46:11,440
Speaker 1: to seeing how it shakes out an election day. We're

855
00:46:11,440 --> 00:46:14,239
Speaker 1: feeling good and we're glad that we were early on

856
00:46:14,239 --> 00:46:16,279
Speaker 1: the Oz train because that choo Choo is going to

857
00:46:16,360 --> 00:46:20,560
Speaker 1: Victory Town. God bless you, take care. Thanks along to

858
00:46:20,600 --> 00:46:23,480
Speaker 1: the Phillies and the Eagles. If you're a Philly area

859
00:46:23,600 --> 00:46:26,040
Speaker 1: sports fan, things have never been better. You got the Eagles,

860
00:46:26,120 --> 00:46:28,719
Speaker 1: undefeated only team in the NFL, and the Phillies in

861
00:46:28,760 --> 00:46:33,880
Speaker 1: the World Series. Buck seven days, red tsunami. I'm calling

862
00:46:33,920 --> 00:46:34,080
Speaker 1: it
