Speaker 1: Hey guys, welcome to the Buck Brief. On this episode,
Speaker 1: Ryan Gradusky back in the mixed National Populist newsletter is
Speaker 1: his sub stack plus very exciting announcement here on the program,
Speaker 1: Ryan is joining the Klanbuck podcast network next year with
Speaker 1: the show it's called It's.
Speaker 2: A Numbers Game with Ryan Gardusky. I'm very excited. Thank
Speaker 2: you for letting me in on your Marvel universe of
Speaker 2: podcast hosts.
Speaker 1: It'll be awesome. That's right, we got, we got Ryan,
Speaker 1: Carol Tutor, Sean Parnell. Great great stuff going on there.
Speaker 1: But let's since it's a numbers game, talk me. Talk
Speaker 1: me through this number. The seven million votes that Biden
Speaker 1: got in twenty twenty that we are now at one point,
Speaker 1: it was fifteen million, right, but they had to count
Speaker 1: California and a few other places. But it's seven millions a
Speaker 1: lot of votes. And Trump went up a couple million
Speaker 1: from twenty twenty two, Kamala dropped seven million. What can
Speaker 1: you tell us about this gap? Because people got questions,
Speaker 1: a lot of questions right right now.
Speaker 2: I get it, I mean, I get the questions. I
Speaker 2: was actually looking for the exact number as of today,
Speaker 2: the exactly because they just threw in, you know, two
Speaker 2: hundred and fifty thousand votes from New York that it
Speaker 2: was delayed in counting. So right now Trump is seventy
Speaker 2: seven point one nine three million votes, Kamala Harris is
Speaker 2: seventy four point nine million, so she's about seventy five
Speaker 2: and he's about seventy seven point two. Biden got eighty
Speaker 2: one point two, so she's about six point two million under. Okay,
Speaker 2: what that's a lot of voats, that's a lot of votes.
Speaker 2: It was at one point fifteen million. As you said,
Speaker 2: blue states are very slow accounting the votes, so it
Speaker 2: was going to get lower and lower. But there's really
Speaker 2: nothing left to count unless they pull out a big
Speaker 2: number out like New Jersey or whatever. But I think
Speaker 2: they certified New Jersey. So where you see the drop,
Speaker 2: the tremendous drop in votes is in places like New York,
Speaker 2: New Jersey, California, These very very blue states, Georgia, Michigan,
Speaker 2: North Carolina, Florida, Texas, Arizona, Big surgeon voting, Big surgeon
Speaker 2: New voting. So what Washington State and Oregon you dropped Portland,
Speaker 2: you drop out of the city of Portland, and in
Speaker 2: the early vote going into election day, you saw Portland
Speaker 2: was not showing up. So what it says to me
Speaker 2: is two things. One, it was a big drop of
Speaker 2: minorities turning up. The reason I thought that Trump was
Speaker 2: probably gonna win at seven thirty on election night was
Speaker 2: the minority vote. The Black vote, which is usually thirteen
Speaker 2: percent of the national vote, was eleven percent, two percent dropage. Overall,
Speaker 2: Hispanic vote was usually thirteen percent. I think it was
Speaker 2: a twelve percent. And the white vote had actually climbed
Speaker 2: three to four points of the overall national vote. If
Speaker 2: you look at where the votes were coming from, it's
Speaker 2: in these very, very blue states. So two things may
Speaker 2: have happened. One, they left the states during COVID and
Speaker 2: they never registered to vote, which is very very possible
Speaker 2: twenty twenty, they moved out of New York, New Jersey
Speaker 2: and California when these draconian laws were happening, they didn't vote,
Speaker 2: or the access to early easy voting with mail and
Speaker 2: voters propelled a lot of the vote that didn't shop
Speaker 2: the second time or lastly, a lot of minorities. And
Speaker 2: this is what the New York Times Nate com is
Speaker 2: saying today. The minorities who were most likely to vote
Speaker 2: for Donald Trump didn't show up. So I think there
Speaker 2: was the black voters on like sixty six percent of
Speaker 2: blacks who wanted to vote for Trump, or sixty people
Speaker 2: blacks who did not vote wanted to overcome with thirty
Speaker 2: four percent want to vote for Trump, so one in
Speaker 2: three versus sixteen percent that they got nationally, and feeling conflicted,
Speaker 2: they chose the couch. I think that I really do
Speaker 2: believe that they're because the idea that Trump was this
Speaker 2: existential crisis that they had been propelling and pushing for years.
Speaker 2: And we'd had four years from being president, and you know,
Speaker 2: we didn't get involved in World War Three, and you know,
Speaker 2: everyone didn't go into interming camps and all these lies
Speaker 2: the Democrats had for all these years. I think a
Speaker 2: lot of people were okay with Trump being president, even
Speaker 2: if they didn't like him, and they didn't show up.
Speaker 2: But they didn't come out of swing states. They didn't
Speaker 2: come out of Michigan or Pennsylvania or Georgia. And it
Speaker 2: wasn't like any of the states that were responsible for
Speaker 2: giving Biden to seventy saw this dipping pulling voting. They
Speaker 2: all actually saw a surgeon voting. I think that it
Speaker 2: was a combination maybe of all three things.
Speaker 1: So the number six point two million, Kamala underperformed the
Speaker 1: white working class vote in the Swing States. What can
Speaker 1: we say about the role that that played?
Speaker 2: Now, well, it was very big. But I think the
Speaker 2: bigger question is is, and we're going to know more
Speaker 2: as time goes on, was how if you look at
Speaker 2: if you look at Hillary Hillary.
Speaker 1: Can John banjes the better question? Better question? Why did
Speaker 1: Trump win the Swing States by the numbers?
Speaker 2: I mean, there's so if you look at AP vote cast, right,
Speaker 2: which is the best source we have so far on
Speaker 2: all the data in the Swing States. One, Republicans did
Speaker 2: an amazing job of registering voters for the last four years.
Speaker 2: In Pennsylvania they reduced number by like four hundred thousand.
Speaker 2: In Arizona it was like a quarter of a million.
Speaker 2: They worked for four years, actually enrolled registering new Republicans
Speaker 2: in states that had registered Republicans. One, the female vote
Speaker 2: was not this month mon like monstrosity towards Harris Like.
Speaker 2: It wasn't this tidal wave of female support that. But
Speaker 2: you know what, the polls never said that. The media
Speaker 2: said that, But the polling literally never had her at
Speaker 2: a bigger point with women and Hillary or Biden. She
Speaker 2: was always in performing, but she underperformed even what the
Speaker 2: polls were saying. She lost. She won women by six points.
Speaker 2: The polling had her winning women by ten or eleven
Speaker 2: versus Hillary is like fourteen. So she underperforming women was
Speaker 2: a big, big, big part of it. The polls were
Speaker 2: dead right when it came to minorities. I mean they
Speaker 2: hit almost exactly where they said then already vote would
Speaker 2: be was actually what showed up. They were off on
Speaker 2: the youth vote. Young voters did show up for Trump
Speaker 2: in a very big way. Young women showed up for
Speaker 2: Trump in a bigger way than people think. Over forty
Speaker 2: percent of young women voted for Trump, which they did
Speaker 2: not expect. I did not expect. And the senior vote,
Speaker 2: which I talked about a lot, Trump wonted, Trump wanted,
Speaker 2: didn't win it by five or four points, but he
Speaker 2: won it by three. Polster said he was going to
Speaker 2: lose it by six, so he didn't lose too much
Speaker 2: ground with senior citizens. We're going to get more data
Speaker 2: on that later on, especially as retired communities are coming in.
Speaker 2: But he didn't lose that much support with them. He won.
Speaker 2: He gained support in the suburbs, he gained support among minorities,
Speaker 2: and he gained support among women. And I think that
Speaker 2: a combination. And he didn't he didn't lose anything with
Speaker 2: the white working class and didn't lose anything with the
Speaker 2: college educated white voters. So I think all of those,
Speaker 2: I mean, those were the That's why he won. That's
Speaker 2: why he got within six That and the drop of
Speaker 2: Democrats support in Democratic states is why he came within
Speaker 2: five points in New Jersey. Is why you won all
Speaker 2: seven swing states. It's why he's within two points in
Speaker 2: Minnesota and New Hampshire. I mean, and you know what
Speaker 2: is incredible when you think about it, if Joe Biden
Speaker 2: had been the nominee as things had progressed and how
Speaker 2: bad as he got mentally, there's no question that New
Speaker 2: York would have been, you know, within a few monks.
Speaker 2: I think that New Jersey would have been Republican. I
Speaker 2: think that Minnesota would have been republican. New Hampshire in
Speaker 2: republican Virginia and New Mexico. I think that you would
Speaker 2: have seen a cataclysmic election day result that is even
Speaker 2: worse than how combol it did.
Speaker 1: But I want to ask you when we come back
Speaker 1: here from our sponsor in a second, what the who
Speaker 1: is the leader of the Democrat resistance or what do
Speaker 1: you think that's going to look like going into the
Speaker 1: beginning of Trump's term? You know, who are the people
Speaker 1: that are waiting to sort of step in as the
Speaker 1: big guns, if you will, of the Democrat Party. But
Speaker 1: first up our sponsor's wide mote research here. You know,
Speaker 1: in twenty sixteen, Brad Thomas was tapped to become an
Speaker 1: advisor to President Trump because he's an expert in the
Speaker 1: world's largest asset, an asset that's bigger than stocks and
Speaker 1: bonds combined, let him a mass over one billion dollars
Speaker 1: in business transactions and launch his own New York stock
Speaker 1: exchange list at ETF, not to mention developing a network
Speaker 1: of ultra wealthy contacts. But his mission is to help
Speaker 1: everyday investors in the stock market, using his insights that
Speaker 1: he's gained and a network of small group of his
Speaker 1: followers that could have seen forty four percent annualized gains
Speaker 1: per year over five years. He's now opening membership to
Speaker 1: his research in a whole new way. Begins with a
Speaker 1: top investment opportunity, which he thinks could deliver huge gains
Speaker 1: as Trump takes the White House. You gotta move though
Speaker 1: before the end of twenty twenty four, he says, Start
Speaker 1: by going to check out this website to do your
Speaker 1: research and do your due diligence. Bradlert dot com. That's
Speaker 1: Bradlert dot com. Brad Thomas has agreed to share his
Speaker 1: information with you. That's Bradlert dot com. Paid for by
Speaker 1: wide Mote Research. Is it going to be nominee AOC
Speaker 1: in twenty eight? Take out the crystal ball? Who's because
Speaker 1: here's me. Let me just preface this a little bit.
Speaker 1: I think Obama did a lot of damage. And I
Speaker 1: know Joe Rogan spoke about this, but I think Obama
Speaker 1: Obama did a lot of damage to his brand among
Speaker 1: sort of center and central left people with the whole
Speaker 1: very fine people lie that he tried against Trump. At
Speaker 1: the end, it's just a lie. And Obama's a smart guy.
Speaker 1: He knows it's a lie. He didn't care. He just
Speaker 1: tried to smear Trump. So he's not above it at all.
Speaker 1: I never thought he was. But Obama's not above the
Speaker 1: most you know, obvious and gross lies, and he can't
Speaker 1: run again, I think finally, unless some boomers start yelling
Speaker 1: at me for this, I don't think Michelle Obama's running.
Speaker 1: That's not happening.
Speaker 2: I don't think Michelle Obama will ever do another political
Speaker 2: event again. Yeah, I'll ever speak another DNC. I don't
Speaker 2: think she will ever do anything political ever again.
Speaker 1: Yeah. The people who've been saying that you know that
Speaker 1: she's not interested, we were.
Speaker 3: Toed, we were we were tard and feather for telling
Speaker 3: people that you're that she would not be the nominee
Speaker 3: and some other political commentators on the right word where
Speaker 3: they were burning that flame for.
Speaker 2: A long time.
Speaker 1: Oh that is true. So here's what I want to know.
Speaker 1: Who steps in? Who is? You know, you got these
Speaker 1: people like Shift and that other guy, a Goldman who
Speaker 1: are very big and kind of impeachment legal, Russia Trump stuff,
Speaker 1: you know all this. They don't have it right. They
Speaker 1: don't have any X factor, they don't have any national
Speaker 1: level charisma. Is the list really Whitmer, Newsome, the stout
Speaker 1: fellow from Illinois and you know who?
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, Shapiro, Yeah, I think that one. The resistance
Speaker 2: as it is looks a lot different than it did
Speaker 2: in twenty sixteen. You're not seeing Democrats act the same way.
Speaker 2: You're not seeing Democrats lose their minds so publicly as
Speaker 2: they did there. I guess the nervous breakdowns are more
Speaker 2: inside the house than outside in public. I don't know
Speaker 2: if you're going to have another women's march where you know,
Speaker 2: millions of women take to the streets. I think Trump
Speaker 2: winning the popular vote really took the wind out of
Speaker 2: their sales in a big, big way. They can say
Speaker 2: it was an illegitimately elected president by their standards. Also,
Speaker 2: there's thing called a Popular Vote Compact where these states
Speaker 2: got together and said, who everyone's a popul vote, We're
Speaker 2: going to give them all their electoral college votes. I
Speaker 2: would love to see if they actually They include California
Speaker 2: and New York. So let's see if they actually give
Speaker 2: their electoral college votes to Donald Trump. But that's neither
Speaker 2: here nor there. I think that when it comes to
Speaker 2: the resistance or the next leadership, look look at Hillary's convention,
Speaker 2: look at Biden's convention, and look at Harris's convention. When
Speaker 2: you look at the way they approach the Democratic Party,
Speaker 2: they really their goal has always been to win over
Speaker 2: center right, independence, military people, moderates, They've they've made an
Speaker 2: open gesture towards them, even if the party has been unhinged.
Speaker 2: I don't know if that's going to happen anymore. I
Speaker 2: don't think and this is what I truly think. I
Speaker 2: don't think Democrats will nominate another woman to be president
Speaker 2: for a very very long time. I just don't see
Speaker 2: how that's going to happen at this point, given the
Speaker 2: two the only two to lose, you know, I lose
Speaker 2: to Trump or women. I just don't see that happening.
Speaker 2: I don't think that Whitmer has it. I think Shapiro
Speaker 2: is somebody to look out for. I think Wes Moore
Speaker 2: or somebody to watch out for. I think Wes Moore
Speaker 2: has a lot of what they're looking for. He's the
Speaker 2: governor of Maryland right now. But it will be a
Speaker 2: fight over the more sensibly approach Democrats, Democrats who actually
Speaker 2: like look like they're normal, and then that like that
Speaker 2: congressman from Texas, I forget her name now. She just
Speaker 2: comes off as completely unhinged and nutty and screaming all
Speaker 2: the time. She feeds the base like what Corey Bush
Speaker 2: fed the base and but what the party wants is
Speaker 2: a much different approach to it. But I would guess
Speaker 2: a Wes Moore or a Jos Shapiro is who they're
Speaker 2: going to turn their eyes to. There's not a lot
Speaker 2: of senate talent and real least slock and I'm not
Speaker 2: exactly sure there's not a ton of senate talent where
Speaker 2: they're going to sit there and pull front.
Speaker 1: I feel like this is we We've gone in a
Speaker 1: couple of election cycles from which Democrat dynasty is going
Speaker 1: to elbow out the other one to what Democrat dynasty
Speaker 1: Like there really isn't one in the mix right now.
Speaker 1: I mean RFK Junior is part of Trump world right right.
Speaker 2: And you know the big the funny thing is, and
Speaker 2: the interesting thing is is that there is like once
Speaker 2: and you know, our buddy and cultises all the time,
Speaker 2: once all the white men were phased out of the party,
Speaker 2: that Joe Biden generation, the Nancy Pelosi generation, Senny Hoyers generation.
Speaker 2: It is the craziest people left. There is not you know,
Speaker 2: a normal one. There is not a power broker like
Speaker 2: her their in their wings right now. I mean the
Speaker 2: average voter would still say Nancy Pelosi leads the House Democrats,
Speaker 2: and it's not Akeem Jefferies from New York. I mean,
Speaker 2: no one really believes that Hakim is calling more shots
Speaker 2: than Nancy is, and I think that that's evidence. So
Speaker 2: I think that they don't have I think the reason,
Speaker 2: like Nancy Pelosi is still around at eighty two, eighty
Speaker 2: four years old and still calling all the shots is
Speaker 2: there isn't a natural successor in the I don't think
Speaker 2: that there is, and I don't Maybe there will be,
Speaker 2: but I don't see it. And you know what, they
Speaker 2: didn't like Obama that much either as being a quote
Speaker 2: unquote successor because they had a lot of people from
Speaker 2: the Chicago machine and machine Democrats running his White House
Speaker 2: and his administration. They weren't like, they didn't think that
Speaker 2: he was going to be the power broker. Could you
Speaker 2: I read an article about this. Can you name one
Speaker 2: thing politically Obama has done since leaving the White House?
Speaker 1: No, not one he does.
Speaker 2: He's all been about Netflix and documentaries and living. I mean, good,
Speaker 2: good for him. He's making money. You have a nice life.
Speaker 2: But his legacy is pretty horrendous. When you really look
Speaker 2: back at the political legacy of Barack Obama after his
Speaker 2: first two years when he got Obamacare and everything through.
Speaker 2: You have the downfall the Democratic Party where they lost
Speaker 2: a thousand legislative seats the House and the Senate, the
Speaker 2: election of Donald Trump, I guess, the election of Joe Biden,
Speaker 2: where he had some policy goals whatever, but it was
Speaker 2: horribly unpopular. And then Kamala Harris, the woman that he
Speaker 2: pushed Biden to pick a his VP, loses against Donald
Speaker 2: Trump again, and Republicans have a trifector in Congress, and
Speaker 2: Democrats have never been so leadershipless really going back to
Speaker 2: like when Clinton was first running in the nineties.
Speaker 1: Well, that's what I mean. It feels like you have
Speaker 1: the most wide open Democrat field in my adult lifetime.
Speaker 1: I've never seen anything like this. So that's why I
Speaker 1: asked you question. It feels like Trump's, you know, Trump's agenda.
Speaker 1: I mean, They've never never been in a better position
Speaker 1: to make big gains and big changes. But right well
Speaker 1: they can.
Speaker 2: If they can do it, if they can do it,
Speaker 2: and they can do it. But also I mean, like
Speaker 2: there is we're in a moment right now where we're
Speaker 2: at the last act of the Trump Show, Like this
Speaker 2: is it like this is his last term. Hopefully he
Speaker 2: I mean, he configured a electoral map that may ultimately
Speaker 2: change politics in the same way that Richard Nixon did
Speaker 2: in nineteen sixty eight when he brought Southern Democrats and
Speaker 2: Neo Cohns and ethnic whites into the party. Trump Trump
Speaker 2: did that in twenty twenty four, and if they're smart,
Speaker 2: they can do it again and they can keep it
Speaker 2: and grow the party in that In that fashion, Trump's
Speaker 2: legacy to a large degree, is going to be made
Speaker 2: in the next three and a half years. And then
Speaker 2: once that's over, it's is an absence of what we
Speaker 2: haven't had in twelve years. We will not have. We
Speaker 2: will never have a man like Donald Trump run for
Speaker 2: and again in our lifetimes, but we because he is
Speaker 2: such a special individual figure. But the whole Trump Ethos
Speaker 2: show is going to come to an end, and it
Speaker 2: is a big question as to what follows, because I
Speaker 2: would say seventy percent of Republicans in Congress are more
Speaker 2: like George Bush Republicans than Donald Trump Republicans. We have
Speaker 2: a great vice president, but we have a lot of
Speaker 2: people who very much are like build the Wall. But
Speaker 2: here's my George Bush bumper stick or over under my
Speaker 2: Donald Trump.
Speaker 1: Yeah, the party, you know, the sort of Cheney Bush
Speaker 1: party might might have a resurgence anyway. Well, let's not
Speaker 1: make everybody sad with that quite yet. Let's talk about
Speaker 1: Eric Adams. Let's talk about Eric Adams in New York City.
Speaker 1: What's going on there? But first up, you know, the
Speaker 1: holidays can be especially difficult for children who've lost a
Speaker 1: mother or father in the line of duty. When Sergeant
Speaker 1: Stevens Plan suffered a heart attack while on fire duty,
Speaker 1: you were there to lift his family during the Tunnel
Speaker 1: the Towers Foundation Season of Hope. With your help, dozens
Speaker 1: of families like his are receiving the gift of a
Speaker 1: mortgage free home or a specially adapted smart home this
Speaker 1: holiday season. Through Tunnel the Towers, heroes and their families
Speaker 1: who have sacrificed so much for us are having the
Speaker 1: burden of a mortgage lifted off their shoulders and a
Speaker 1: place to call home. Your gift to the Foundation during
Speaker 1: the Season of Hope maybe the most meaningful gift you
Speaker 1: give this holiday season. Your kindness will bring help and
Speaker 1: hope to heroes and their families who are so deserving
Speaker 1: of our gratitude. And yes, they absolutely are doing it
Speaker 1: eleven dollars a month. The TUNLT the towers at T
Speaker 1: two T dot org. That's t the number two T
Speaker 1: dot org. Eric Adams is being indicted by the or
Speaker 1: has been indicted by the Feds, right, so they're coming
Speaker 1: after him for some To me, it looks like some nonsense.
Speaker 1: Now we're saying criminal illegals, which I know this is
Speaker 1: kind of this is like, what does that even mean?
Speaker 1: Illegal alien status in the country, plus committing additional crimes.
Speaker 1: He says he's going to kick him out and help
Speaker 1: deport them, like pass them all along to Ice.
Speaker 2: And so is Kathy Hopal.
Speaker 1: Yeah, so does the governor New York all of a
Speaker 1: sudden what's going on here?
Speaker 2: Yeah? I think that well, and I don't I think
Speaker 2: that he I think that he would love a pardon
Speaker 2: right now. I don't think there's a chance he wins
Speaker 2: reelection as of right now, especially because New York has
Speaker 2: that stupid system where you vote for your second place
Speaker 2: in the third place, but a voter choice rank choice.
Speaker 2: If he was very strong, Andrew Cuomo would not be
Speaker 2: prepping to run, which he is, and he's going to
Speaker 2: be outflying from the progressive. So I think that right
Speaker 2: now he's looking at his best bet for how he
Speaker 2: gets through this, and I think that it's I think
Speaker 2: it's I mean, it's good politics, good policy ahead of
Speaker 2: a reelection. So maybe he's trying to win over some
Speaker 2: support from, you know, communities affected by crime. And the
Speaker 2: fact that Katy Holpe was agreeing with him. I think
Speaker 2: there's a lot of I think there's a lot of
Speaker 2: people looking at the tea leaves in New York City,
Speaker 2: in New York State and saying, how of the state
Speaker 2: that was as left as California become more to the
Speaker 2: right than Texas is to the left, Like Texas is
Speaker 2: more is less of a swing state than New York
Speaker 2: is in the last election, and that elections have become
Speaker 2: tighter and tighter and tighter every election for the last
Speaker 2: three successive elections, right for mayor, New York City for
Speaker 2: governor for two elections, those things have been working in
Speaker 2: Republicans favor, and I think that they're I think they're nervous.
Speaker 2: I think they're genuinely nervous. There's a seed change in
Speaker 2: New York happening, and Eric Adams needs a place to land.
Speaker 2: I think that's he's thinking. I think I have to
Speaker 2: I have to be different. I can't be you know,
Speaker 2: I have to move to the middle in order to
Speaker 2: secure an election victory, because you know, there's a couple
Speaker 2: of bole allegedly looking at running are going to be
Speaker 2: serious that we'll have serious money and lots of money
Speaker 2: and a lot a real campaign against her if they run.
Speaker 2: I don't think they're going to take New York governor
Speaker 2: races like they did in the mid ods, where they
Speaker 2: would just you know, not back anybody.
Speaker 1: So yes, you think that New York politics in New
Speaker 1: York has gotten a bit of a shakeup because to me,
Speaker 1: to me, it's interesting that you know, the biggest city
Speaker 1: in America has and the state of New York, as
Speaker 1: you point out, the governor changing their tune on immigration
Speaker 1: right before. The biggest challenge that I see, imminent challenge
Speaker 1: that I see Trump facing is if they're really going
Speaker 1: to ramp up deportations in a way that people know,
Speaker 1: you know that they're not just talking about but you're
Speaker 1: aware of it. That's going to get that's going to
Speaker 1: get very interesting and very heated, right.
Speaker 2: And listen, I mean, if they can go to rikers
Speaker 2: and start bringing them out, and there's some amount Rikers
Speaker 2: waiting for them one hundred percent. But look, here's the thing.
Speaker 2: It's uf Al County before Trump in twenty sixteen had
Speaker 2: not voted a Republican since I think nineteen eighty eight.
Speaker 2: It went for Republicans by eleven points. Saddn Island, which
Speaker 2: you would think is a Republican place, went for Obama
Speaker 2: over Romney. In twenty twelve, it went by thirty points
Speaker 2: for Trump. Queens count is more Republican than Westchester County,
Speaker 2: which I that is that is like you know, waking
Speaker 2: up one day and speaking Japanese, if like that is unbelievable,
Speaker 2: that that is all happening. The numbers are just wild.
Speaker 2: Places in like New York City that I would have
Speaker 2: never ever assumed a Republican would ever get a vote.
Speaker 2: Jesus Christ could have ran as Republican and lost. Donald
Speaker 2: Trump won like Jackson Heights, Queen's That's an area that
Speaker 2: there was no There was never a question that was
Speaker 2: going to happen. The Bronx and Brooklyn being even as
Speaker 2: far as Republican vote is wild and it's all organic,
Speaker 2: there is no functioning Republican party in New York State.
Speaker 2: Outside the Congression elections, no one puts money in this state.
Speaker 2: The media market's so expensive. There's no Republican as being
Speaker 2: streamed into New York City. It's wildly costly. This is
Speaker 2: one hundred percent organic, and that is what's making them nervous.
Speaker 2: And they want to know why why did Adams have
Speaker 2: a tighter election for mayor last time against Curtis Lee? Well,
Speaker 2: who I like Curtis and nothing no problem with them,
Speaker 2: but it was a bit of a joe campaign. And
Speaker 2: why is it gonna Why is why? You know any
Speaker 2: Democrat is going to face the same uphill battle where
Speaker 2: things are.
Speaker 1: Do you think a Republican remember Romney was governor of
Speaker 1: Massachusetts back in the day. Do you think that a
Speaker 1: a centrist Republican UH would be in a position to
Speaker 1: run against and beat hocel Or? You know, do you
Speaker 1: think that's you think that could happening one.
Speaker 2: Hundred percent true. I think, especially as they moved to
Speaker 2: the center, they're saying in New York. In New York,
Speaker 2: there's something called a Wilson bakula, which means that you
Speaker 2: can run as more than one party, So you can
Speaker 2: run as a Republican an independent and a conservative, and
Speaker 2: all those votes are tabulated together and that's what you get.
Speaker 2: And that's often what happens. There's something called the Working
Speaker 2: Families Party, which is a very far left liberal party
Speaker 2: in New York State. They never like endorsed or the
Speaker 2: Green Party never indored dors Andrew Plomo. I don't think
Speaker 2: the Working Failey Party ever endorsed Andrew Plomo either. If so,
Speaker 2: like Jimani Williams ran for mayor or some other very
Speaker 2: far left liberal New Yorker ran for governor. As Kathy
Speaker 2: Hlchal's moving to the right, I could see the Working
Speaker 2: Family Party endorsing against her and running a third party
Speaker 2: person against her. And they actually have registered voters. They
Speaker 2: have over one hundred thousand plus registered voters. That would
Speaker 2: mean something, that would really really mean something in a
Speaker 2: very tight election. If like a Mike Lawler, who who
Speaker 2: was clearly a very serious candidate who outran Trump by
Speaker 2: seven points in his district, ran and won in a
Speaker 2: seat that Harris won, if he ran, I think it's
Speaker 2: a very serious thing, especially as Long Island's becoming red
Speaker 2: red red. You know, Queens is close to forty percents
Speaker 2: Daden Island is the most second most red county in
Speaker 2: all the mid Atlantic outside of Ocean County. New Jersey
Speaker 2: and upstate is bloining a little bit, but it's a
Speaker 2: lot of mixed manhatmites moving up there, so you never know.
Speaker 2: I mean, it's a far different thing of New York
Speaker 2: City is changing in a way that makes it much
Speaker 2: more competitive than the state is changing to.
Speaker 1: So, I mean it sounds like just to close us
Speaker 1: up here, Ryan, the sense of political devastation that some
Speaker 1: of us believe the Democrats must be feeling. They are
Speaker 1: kind of feeling it right now. I mean that things are.
Speaker 2: Yeah, they're going through a social thing. Listen, seven years
Speaker 2: of saying the most insane things did not work for them.
Speaker 2: Boys can be girls in preschool, they all can play
Speaker 2: sports together, and then we'll do Black Lives Matter, and
Speaker 2: then we'll do DEI and no one gets grades and
Speaker 2: no one gets policed, and everything's gonna be the most wonderful, happy,
Speaker 2: magical place. It didn't really work for them. So now
Speaker 2: you're sitting here and seeing a bunch of Democrats saying, hey,
Speaker 2: let's do something different, Let's find that sweet spot. Is it?
Speaker 2: Like John Fetterman, who is moderated on a lot of things.
Speaker 2: Is it just being pro Israel like Richie Torres is doing.
Speaker 2: Is it doing some kind of immigration enforcement? Is it
Speaker 2: the girls and boys sports like Seth Mouland from Massachusetts
Speaker 2: is doing. They're all looking for how do I get
Speaker 2: back to the middle by cutting off these very insane
Speaker 2: fringe parts of the Democratic Party? Is is that going
Speaker 2: to cost you more than when? And they're all taking
Speaker 2: a different approach to it to find themselves where they
Speaker 2: should be because they lost their minds in twenty twenty
Speaker 2: and now they're waking up to smell the coffee.
Speaker 1: Our sponsor here is done with debt. Look, costs are
Speaker 1: still really high. Trump's coming in is going to do
Speaker 1: good things, But in the meantime, you're still paying for
Speaker 1: all that overspending at the pump at the grocery store,
Speaker 1: and there's a growing stack of unpaid bills that are
Speaker 1: really affecting millions of Americans day in and day out.
Speaker 1: That's why Dumb with Debt created new aggressive strategies designed
Speaker 1: to get you out of debt permanently without bankruptcy or loans.
Speaker 1: Dumb with Debt stands between you and bill collectors. They
Speaker 1: negotiate with your creditors to write off balances, cut interest,
Speaker 1: and stop penalties. They have a plan to put more

Speaker 1: the network. Everyone's very excited. I'm very excited.
Speaker 2: You know, well, January twenty twenty five. I don't know
Speaker 2: the exact date yet, but it is coming next month
Speaker 2: and a half, so we'll not in a month, in
Speaker 2: one month, so I will infront one month that it
Speaker 2: was there. But yeah, in one month and January twenty
Speaker 2: twenty five, it's a numbers game that Ryan Gourdeski comes
Speaker 2: out our first episode. I believe we are going to
Speaker 2: discuss what is a new swing district? What are the
Speaker 2: new areas that change because of this election? And I
Speaker 2: will go break down numbers every week. I'm going to
Speaker 2: have a new piece of data that everyone should hear
Speaker 2: about and know about, and I will dive into it.
Speaker 2: It'll be political, it'll be economic, it'll be cultural, and
Speaker 2: it will be the thing that you should know about.
Speaker 1: Fantastic Ryan or Dusk everybody. Ryan, thanks so much, Thank you,
