I'm 13 00:00:48,840 --> 00:00:51,320 Speaker 1: just bringing this up though, because the amount of work 14 00:00:51,360 --> 00:00:54,880 Speaker 1: you do to actually write your book. Clay writes his books. 15 00:00:55,120 --> 00:00:57,720 Speaker 1: I have written my book, meaning sat there at a computer, 16 00:00:57,960 --> 00:01:00,760 Speaker 1: not paid somebody else to do it. It's a whole conversation. 17 00:01:01,000 --> 00:01:03,600 Speaker 1: Sat there at a computer and did the writing. It 18 00:01:03,720 --> 00:01:07,680 Speaker 1: is something that I hope people will appreciate on our 19 00:01:07,720 --> 00:01:10,400 Speaker 1: side of things, and the best way to show appreciation 20 00:01:10,480 --> 00:01:12,400 Speaker 1: is by buying the copies. Let's get Clay on the 21 00:01:12,440 --> 00:01:14,559 Speaker 1: bestseller list. Clay will be talking to you more about 22 00:01:14,600 --> 00:01:16,840 Speaker 1: ball throughout the program, But it is election day and 23 00:01:16,880 --> 00:01:20,480 Speaker 1: that is going to be, of course our focus today. 24 00:01:21,280 --> 00:01:24,080 Speaker 1: And we have a whole bunch of things happening all 25 00:01:24,120 --> 00:01:26,960 Speaker 1: at once. The New York City race is the one 26 00:01:26,959 --> 00:01:29,800 Speaker 1: that is getting by far the most attention. New Jersey 27 00:01:29,880 --> 00:01:31,600 Speaker 1: is going to be a squeaker. I think it's going 28 00:01:31,640 --> 00:01:34,960 Speaker 1: to be tight. Virginia not looking so good for our 29 00:01:35,000 --> 00:01:37,680 Speaker 1: cubernatorial candidate win some series not looking so good at 30 00:01:37,680 --> 00:01:40,200 Speaker 1: this point. But go out vote. Don't listen to me. 31 00:01:40,360 --> 00:01:43,160 Speaker 1: What do I know. I'm some guy just squawking nonsense 32 00:01:43,200 --> 00:01:44,520 Speaker 1: on the radio. Go vote. 33 00:01:44,520 --> 00:01:48,680 Speaker 2: By the way, Also, age is going to come down 34 00:01:48,800 --> 00:01:52,800 Speaker 2: potentially in Virginia to a pen pricks difference based on 35 00:01:52,880 --> 00:01:56,880 Speaker 2: everything we're seeing, So it's important. Yes, we may lose 36 00:01:56,920 --> 00:02:00,680 Speaker 2: a governor's race, we may lose a different aspec but 37 00:02:00,800 --> 00:02:04,600 Speaker 2: the down ballot can be hugely important too, So Lieutenant 38 00:02:04,640 --> 00:02:08,200 Speaker 2: governor is an important job in Virginia. Attorney general, certainly 39 00:02:08,240 --> 00:02:10,400 Speaker 2: we want you to go vote for wins some seers two, 40 00:02:10,919 --> 00:02:13,480 Speaker 2: But the attorney general race looks like it could be 41 00:02:13,680 --> 00:02:17,000 Speaker 2: in Virginia one of the tightest out there. To bucks point, 42 00:02:17,120 --> 00:02:21,440 Speaker 2: New Jersey governor, Republicans win if Republicans show up in 43 00:02:21,520 --> 00:02:25,320 Speaker 2: big numbers today in New Jersey. Everybody listening to us 44 00:02:25,360 --> 00:02:29,400 Speaker 2: on WR and other stations in New Jersey, if you 45 00:02:29,480 --> 00:02:32,720 Speaker 2: have not voted, go do it. Go vote everywhere, because 46 00:02:32,760 --> 00:02:36,440 Speaker 2: it really is likely to come down to a hair's 47 00:02:36,520 --> 00:02:39,359 Speaker 2: breadth margin in many of these races. 48 00:02:40,000 --> 00:02:44,400 Speaker 1: We have the biggest last minute I think change in 49 00:02:44,520 --> 00:02:48,720 Speaker 1: the voting situation or in the endorsements around that. We 50 00:02:48,840 --> 00:02:54,280 Speaker 1: have a Trump endorsement of drum Roll Andrew Cuomo in 51 00:02:54,320 --> 00:02:58,560 Speaker 1: the New York City mayor's race. This is something that 52 00:02:59,760 --> 00:03:04,200 Speaker 1: now Clay, you've been telling our beloved audience that you 53 00:03:04,320 --> 00:03:06,240 Speaker 1: think that this is the right move. And there have 54 00:03:06,320 --> 00:03:09,880 Speaker 1: been some New Yorkers who have been calling you from 55 00:03:09,919 --> 00:03:12,480 Speaker 1: parts of South Brooklyn with a very upset. They don't 56 00:03:12,560 --> 00:03:16,440 Speaker 1: like this talk from Clay about voting for the Kami well, 57 00:03:16,520 --> 00:03:19,880 Speaker 1: voting for Cuomo only, voting for Sliwa allowed. Clay does 58 00:03:19,960 --> 00:03:25,359 Speaker 1: not like, does not like the prospects of Sliwa winning 59 00:03:25,400 --> 00:03:30,440 Speaker 1: this and so has made the machiavellian decision to go 60 00:03:30,520 --> 00:03:35,200 Speaker 1: in favor of a Cuomo as the lesser of two evils. 61 00:03:35,200 --> 00:03:36,960 Speaker 1: And I do think two evils is the right way 62 00:03:37,000 --> 00:03:41,080 Speaker 1: to describe those candidates. And we have a whole bunch 63 00:03:41,600 --> 00:03:44,880 Speaker 1: of reaction to this, Clay, I want you to react well. 64 00:03:44,880 --> 00:03:48,800 Speaker 1: First of all, Stephen Miller, who we know another a 65 00:03:48,840 --> 00:03:52,920 Speaker 1: brilliant strategist and a senior White House aid and friend 66 00:03:52,920 --> 00:03:55,040 Speaker 1: of the show. This has cut seven. Here he is saying, 67 00:03:55,480 --> 00:03:58,200 Speaker 1: anti mom Donnie vote, go vote Cuomo, play. 68 00:03:58,000 --> 00:04:00,120 Speaker 3: It as far as New York is concerned, as you 69 00:04:00,200 --> 00:04:04,160 Speaker 3: talked about, as we've said, unfortunately, the anti Momdamie vote 70 00:04:04,160 --> 00:04:07,600 Speaker 3: is being split between Cuomo and Sliwa, and President Trump 71 00:04:07,680 --> 00:04:10,960 Speaker 3: tonight put out a statement being clear that if you 72 00:04:11,040 --> 00:04:13,880 Speaker 3: vote for Sliwa, who's pulling at about a third of 73 00:04:13,880 --> 00:04:16,719 Speaker 3: where Cuomo is, you're just throwing your vote away The 74 00:04:16,800 --> 00:04:19,200 Speaker 3: anti mom Domie vote, which is really the pro New 75 00:04:19,279 --> 00:04:22,760 Speaker 3: York City vote, the pro America vote, needs to unite 76 00:04:22,760 --> 00:04:25,080 Speaker 3: behind the leading candidate, and that's Andrew Cuomo. 77 00:04:26,680 --> 00:04:28,000 Speaker 1: Man, there you go. 78 00:04:28,640 --> 00:04:33,000 Speaker 2: Is everybody going to be as angry at Trump and 79 00:04:33,960 --> 00:04:37,640 Speaker 2: Stephen Miller for telling you on the day before the 80 00:04:37,680 --> 00:04:40,640 Speaker 2: election what I have been telling you for weeks, which 81 00:04:40,720 --> 00:04:45,359 Speaker 2: is Sliwa can't win and all he is doing is 82 00:04:45,440 --> 00:04:47,680 Speaker 2: helping Mamdanni and we had him on last week and 83 00:04:47,720 --> 00:04:51,680 Speaker 2: I asked him this directly. I think Curtis Sliwa hates 84 00:04:51,720 --> 00:04:55,200 Speaker 2: Andrew Cuomo, and he has stayed in the race partly 85 00:04:55,240 --> 00:04:57,760 Speaker 2: out of principle because it is true that Democrats have 86 00:04:57,839 --> 00:05:01,159 Speaker 2: created this problem, but also, as he told us, because 87 00:05:01,240 --> 00:05:04,960 Speaker 2: he truly does not see a difference between Mom Donnie 88 00:05:04,960 --> 00:05:07,640 Speaker 2: and Cuomo. And so the idea that he would help 89 00:05:07,720 --> 00:05:10,479 Speaker 2: either of those guys, particularly Cuomo, who I think he 90 00:05:10,480 --> 00:05:12,920 Speaker 2: probably hates more than he does Mom Donni because they 91 00:05:12,920 --> 00:05:18,480 Speaker 2: have history together, is a decision that he made. And 92 00:05:18,720 --> 00:05:21,880 Speaker 2: my concern is that when we get these results start 93 00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:25,080 Speaker 2: rolling in tonight, that we will see Mom Donnie not 94 00:05:25,240 --> 00:05:28,400 Speaker 2: win over fifty percent of the vote and win because 95 00:05:28,440 --> 00:05:31,080 Speaker 2: the anti Mam Donnie vote was split between Sleeve one 96 00:05:31,120 --> 00:05:33,120 Speaker 2: and Cuomo. And that's what Trump is telling us now. 97 00:05:33,120 --> 00:05:35,920 Speaker 1: Buck. It may also be the case, based on this. 98 00:05:35,920 --> 00:05:40,359 Speaker 2: Turnout, that Mam Donnie wins over fifty percent, and it 99 00:05:40,360 --> 00:05:43,120 Speaker 2: wouldn't have mattered anyway. And if that's going to end 100 00:05:43,200 --> 00:05:46,000 Speaker 2: up happening, then all this was for naught, no matter what. 101 00:05:46,680 --> 00:05:49,039 Speaker 2: And it would suggest that at least in New York City. 102 00:05:49,520 --> 00:05:54,200 Speaker 2: Being an avowed socialist candidate doesn't put much of a 103 00:05:55,680 --> 00:05:58,520 Speaker 2: of a rock on top of your head of expectations, 104 00:05:59,040 --> 00:06:02,159 Speaker 2: and so your see is maybe higher than people would 105 00:06:02,200 --> 00:06:05,599 Speaker 2: have anticipated. So this is where we're going to start 106 00:06:05,640 --> 00:06:09,560 Speaker 2: to see what the results of this race truly are. 107 00:06:09,600 --> 00:06:11,800 Speaker 2: And I'm up in New York City right now, and 108 00:06:12,120 --> 00:06:14,039 Speaker 2: it's all everybody's talking about, and it looks like the 109 00:06:14,040 --> 00:06:17,200 Speaker 2: New York City Mayor's race may set an all time 110 00:06:17,279 --> 00:06:19,440 Speaker 2: record for most votes. I just want to let you 111 00:06:19,520 --> 00:06:23,919 Speaker 2: know New Yorkers that I did encourage Clay to walk 112 00:06:23,960 --> 00:06:27,480 Speaker 2: around and offer to sign copies for anybody who buys 113 00:06:27,560 --> 00:06:31,520 Speaker 2: balls of his book, but not to hand out flyers 114 00:06:32,160 --> 00:06:34,080 Speaker 2: about moving to Franklin, Tennessee. 115 00:06:35,000 --> 00:06:37,400 Speaker 1: That it's too soon. We have to see how this 116 00:06:37,480 --> 00:06:40,640 Speaker 1: shakes out. He's not allowed to recruit off the streets 117 00:06:40,680 --> 00:06:43,719 Speaker 1: of New York while he's there in our darkest hour 118 00:06:44,279 --> 00:06:48,000 Speaker 1: of communists taking over. So he has agreed he will 119 00:06:48,040 --> 00:06:50,120 Speaker 1: sign the book, but he will not give you flyers 120 00:06:50,160 --> 00:06:51,960 Speaker 1: on how to move, how to get a U haul 121 00:06:52,000 --> 00:06:53,400 Speaker 1: set up for Tennessee's I. 122 00:06:53,360 --> 00:06:56,400 Speaker 2: Will say the numbers out there. Did you see this 123 00:06:56,480 --> 00:06:58,680 Speaker 2: report that a million people say they're going to leave 124 00:06:58,680 --> 00:07:00,520 Speaker 2: New York City now I think this it's a little 125 00:07:00,560 --> 00:07:03,000 Speaker 2: bit by people who say I'm gonna move to Canada 126 00:07:03,160 --> 00:07:06,280 Speaker 2: Trump Wins. I doubt that most of them would move, 127 00:07:06,640 --> 00:07:10,760 Speaker 2: but let's say that one hundred thousand, ten percent of 128 00:07:10,800 --> 00:07:13,720 Speaker 2: the million. I don't think that's crazy. I think one 129 00:07:13,760 --> 00:07:16,960 Speaker 2: hundred thousand New Yorkers, if i'm Donnie Wins might say 130 00:07:17,520 --> 00:07:20,320 Speaker 2: I'm out, I'm going to Florida, I'm going to Texas, 131 00:07:20,320 --> 00:07:23,200 Speaker 2: I'm going to Tennessee. What did Davy Crockett say, you 132 00:07:23,200 --> 00:07:25,800 Speaker 2: can go to Hell, I'm going to Texas? All time, 133 00:07:25,840 --> 00:07:30,360 Speaker 2: great line Crockettcoffee dot COM's Davy Crockett, not Jasmine Crockett. 134 00:07:31,040 --> 00:07:33,360 Speaker 2: But I think there's some people who just say New 135 00:07:33,440 --> 00:07:35,040 Speaker 2: York can go to Hell. I'm going to Texas, or 136 00:07:35,080 --> 00:07:36,640 Speaker 2: I'm going to Tennessee, or I'm going to. 137 00:07:37,360 --> 00:07:40,920 Speaker 1: Ll Certainly, there certainly will be some outflow I think 138 00:07:41,120 --> 00:07:45,080 Speaker 1: into the tri State, so Connecticut, New Jersey, New York 139 00:07:45,160 --> 00:07:49,760 Speaker 1: outside of the urban the urban bubble that will happen. 140 00:07:50,200 --> 00:07:52,120 Speaker 1: I don't know in what numbers. There have been people 141 00:07:52,680 --> 00:07:55,800 Speaker 1: snapping up real estate. It's one thing to move to 142 00:07:56,440 --> 00:08:01,120 Speaker 1: Putnam County. It's another thing to move to beach, right, Yeah, 143 00:08:01,120 --> 00:08:03,160 Speaker 1: it's another thing to decide you're going to or to 144 00:08:03,280 --> 00:08:08,000 Speaker 1: Orlando or wherever. So we'll see. I agree, Clay, I 145 00:08:08,000 --> 00:08:10,320 Speaker 1: don't think I think people are frustrated. I don't believe 146 00:08:10,320 --> 00:08:12,520 Speaker 1: that you'll see a large out flood New Yorkers because 147 00:08:12,520 --> 00:08:13,680 Speaker 1: I think that most of the New Yorkers who are 148 00:08:13,720 --> 00:08:17,640 Speaker 1: going to leave, like me, left during COVID. I think 149 00:08:17,640 --> 00:08:20,600 Speaker 1: that that pushed a lot further in this direction than 150 00:08:20,600 --> 00:08:23,679 Speaker 1: anything we're seeing right now. But we'll see. We'll see 151 00:08:23,720 --> 00:08:27,760 Speaker 1: the number of people that want to move versus who 152 00:08:27,760 --> 00:08:30,560 Speaker 1: will move. That is an important distinction as well. I 153 00:08:30,560 --> 00:08:32,160 Speaker 1: think a lot of people will want to move, but 154 00:08:32,160 --> 00:08:34,400 Speaker 1: it's hard. You got family, anything else. But tell me this. 155 00:08:34,480 --> 00:08:39,800 Speaker 1: Do you agree with this assessment of Van Jones over 156 00:08:39,840 --> 00:08:44,000 Speaker 1: this is cut fourteen, suggesting that the Cuomo endorsement by 157 00:08:44,240 --> 00:08:49,120 Speaker 1: Trump could, given the political realities of New York, actually 158 00:08:49,640 --> 00:08:52,079 Speaker 1: hurt Cuomo play play fourteen. 159 00:08:52,160 --> 00:08:54,840 Speaker 4: Look, I there must have been some kind of handshake 160 00:08:54,960 --> 00:08:58,680 Speaker 4: deal between Mom, Donnie and Trump for Trump coming in 161 00:08:58,760 --> 00:08:59,160 Speaker 4: New York. 162 00:08:59,240 --> 00:09:02,640 Speaker 5: Fit faceted endorsement and non endorsement. 163 00:09:03,200 --> 00:09:06,720 Speaker 4: But like, I can't think of a worse thing to 164 00:09:06,800 --> 00:09:09,280 Speaker 4: have than to Cuomo than for Donald Trump to come 165 00:09:09,320 --> 00:09:13,240 Speaker 4: out last night in this town and say what he said? 166 00:09:14,559 --> 00:09:15,280 Speaker 1: What do you think of that? 167 00:09:15,640 --> 00:09:19,920 Speaker 2: I think it's probably why they waited until now, candidly, 168 00:09:20,040 --> 00:09:24,000 Speaker 2: because there's a lot of early voting that's already taken place, 169 00:09:24,920 --> 00:09:28,600 Speaker 2: and I suspect that they said, early voting, you made 170 00:09:28,679 --> 00:09:32,400 Speaker 2: juice turnout. I don't think most people on election day 171 00:09:33,000 --> 00:09:36,600 Speaker 2: are going to be motivated to vote against Trump. I 172 00:09:36,600 --> 00:09:39,760 Speaker 2: think Trump's calculus is there might be some people out 173 00:09:39,800 --> 00:09:43,320 Speaker 2: there that haven't decided how they're going to vote, and 174 00:09:43,320 --> 00:09:46,880 Speaker 2: if it's a close race, that this could swing the difference. 175 00:09:47,040 --> 00:09:50,840 Speaker 2: My concern now is, Mom, Donnie seems to be rolling 176 00:09:50,920 --> 00:09:54,120 Speaker 2: buck and that if he wins over fifty percent, then 177 00:09:54,160 --> 00:09:56,559 Speaker 2: all of this was for naught. I mean, to be fair, 178 00:09:56,679 --> 00:09:58,760 Speaker 2: it wouldn't have mattered if Curtis Lee what was in. 179 00:09:58,840 --> 00:10:02,560 Speaker 2: It wouldn't have mattered how many other candidates were there, 180 00:10:02,720 --> 00:10:05,440 Speaker 2: because if he wins over fifty percent, then the majority 181 00:10:05,480 --> 00:10:08,920 Speaker 2: of New York voters, and a majority of New York 182 00:10:09,000 --> 00:10:13,920 Speaker 2: voters with a huge turnout potentially record are saying, Mam, 183 00:10:13,960 --> 00:10:16,920 Speaker 2: Donnie's our guy. Now, Cuomo, I think has run a 184 00:10:16,960 --> 00:10:20,200 Speaker 2: poor campaign, but he's actually pointing out something that is 185 00:10:20,400 --> 00:10:21,160 Speaker 2: very important. 186 00:10:21,160 --> 00:10:21,920 Speaker 1: Cut sixteen. 187 00:10:22,440 --> 00:10:26,640 Speaker 2: He's saying what Mamdanni is promising to people he doesn't 188 00:10:26,679 --> 00:10:30,040 Speaker 2: even have the power to deliver on. And I do 189 00:10:30,120 --> 00:10:32,839 Speaker 2: think that that might be beneficial to New York City. 190 00:10:33,120 --> 00:10:33,880 Speaker 2: Cut sixteen. 191 00:10:34,200 --> 00:10:36,720 Speaker 5: I called them the TikTok promises that he put forth 192 00:10:36,760 --> 00:10:39,880 Speaker 5: in the primary. None of them are real. The mayor 193 00:10:39,960 --> 00:10:41,800 Speaker 5: is going to freeze the rent. People think it means 194 00:10:41,920 --> 00:10:44,240 Speaker 5: he's going to freeze their rent. No, no, no, no. First 195 00:10:44,240 --> 00:10:47,480 Speaker 5: of all, the mayor has no ability to freeze anybody's rent, 196 00:10:47,520 --> 00:10:50,840 Speaker 5: no legal ability. It's done by an independent board that 197 00:10:51,000 --> 00:10:53,559 Speaker 5: is term appointed. And then it's only for about twenty 198 00:10:53,559 --> 00:10:56,640 Speaker 5: five percent of the housing units called the rent stabilized units, 199 00:10:56,760 --> 00:10:59,240 Speaker 5: So it will never happen. We're going to have a 200 00:10:59,480 --> 00:11:02,520 Speaker 5: government owned the grocery store, one in each borough. We 201 00:11:02,559 --> 00:11:05,800 Speaker 5: have sixteen thousand grocery stores. Five grocery stores. Are not 202 00:11:05,800 --> 00:11:08,600 Speaker 5: going to make a difference. Free buses. It's not up 203 00:11:08,600 --> 00:11:10,480 Speaker 5: to the mayor, it's up to the state. State said 204 00:11:10,480 --> 00:11:13,880 Speaker 5: they're not going to do it. It's all bs, it's 205 00:11:14,000 --> 00:11:18,600 Speaker 5: all campaign rhetoric. None of it will change anybody's life. 206 00:11:18,640 --> 00:11:22,640 Speaker 2: Where was this For the past several months, Cuomo finding 207 00:11:22,720 --> 00:11:25,560 Speaker 2: an ability to make the case against Mom Donnie. I 208 00:11:25,640 --> 00:11:27,880 Speaker 2: get it, Hey, this is the final a day, the 209 00:11:27,920 --> 00:11:32,040 Speaker 2: final hours, but wouldn't this have been helpful back during 210 00:11:32,080 --> 00:11:35,360 Speaker 2: the primary. Wouldn't this have been helpful in the last 211 00:11:35,400 --> 00:11:38,360 Speaker 2: several months. I just think if Mam Donnie wins, it's 212 00:11:38,360 --> 00:11:41,199 Speaker 2: not only a credit to Mom Donnie's personal charisma and 213 00:11:41,240 --> 00:11:43,720 Speaker 2: the fact that a lot of people want to believe 214 00:11:43,720 --> 00:11:46,280 Speaker 2: in the tooth fairy, so to speak, but it's also 215 00:11:46,360 --> 00:11:49,080 Speaker 2: a function of how poor of a job Andrew Cuomo 216 00:11:49,200 --> 00:11:53,000 Speaker 2: has done defining the absurdity of the Mam Donnie campaign. 217 00:11:53,960 --> 00:11:56,360 Speaker 1: Well, he has run a terrible campaign. I think there's 218 00:11:56,400 --> 00:11:58,640 Speaker 1: even been some admission of that from the Cuomo side 219 00:11:58,640 --> 00:12:02,959 Speaker 1: that he has not done. He has been not just inept, 220 00:12:03,000 --> 00:12:06,040 Speaker 1: but lazy too. It's certainly in the primary, in the 221 00:12:06,040 --> 00:12:09,040 Speaker 1: Democrat primary, he thought he was gonna walk away with this. 222 00:12:09,400 --> 00:12:12,880 Speaker 1: We've seen this happen before New York. Remember AOC took 223 00:12:12,920 --> 00:12:17,359 Speaker 1: out the number three Democrat in terms of House leadership. 224 00:12:17,400 --> 00:12:20,920 Speaker 1: I forget the guy's name. That tellsy something, but he 225 00:12:21,000 --> 00:12:24,199 Speaker 1: just figured I'm gonna win, didn't campaign, didn't show up, 226 00:12:24,240 --> 00:12:27,120 Speaker 1: didn't care. And now we've got AOC running around saying 227 00:12:27,160 --> 00:12:30,640 Speaker 1: crazy stuff. Mom. Donnie was also something of a sleeper 228 00:12:30,679 --> 00:12:34,120 Speaker 1: candidate here, at least in the primary, and when he 229 00:12:34,200 --> 00:12:36,640 Speaker 1: took out Cuomo was because Cuomo was lazy and thought 230 00:12:36,640 --> 00:12:40,000 Speaker 1: that he was kind of entitled to represent the Democrats 231 00:12:40,040 --> 00:12:44,280 Speaker 1: in the city of New York. It's looking like it's 232 00:12:44,320 --> 00:12:46,960 Speaker 1: gonna be Mandani, but you know, Cuomo could pull something 233 00:12:47,000 --> 00:12:49,960 Speaker 1: out here at the very end. Maybe that's my most 234 00:12:49,960 --> 00:12:51,880 Speaker 1: hopeful note I can hit on this, and I'm not 235 00:12:51,920 --> 00:12:55,000 Speaker 1: even very hopeful. Clay Homo's awful. I'm sorry. I know 236 00:12:55,040 --> 00:12:56,920 Speaker 1: people want to believe that this would be some huge 237 00:12:58,559 --> 00:13:02,800 Speaker 1: metaphorical bullet dodge by New York, and no, I think 238 00:13:02,800 --> 00:13:05,960 Speaker 1: Womo is pretty terrible too, So even if he wins, 239 00:13:06,400 --> 00:13:08,359 Speaker 1: we got problems in New York. We got problems. 240 00:13:08,400 --> 00:13:10,760 Speaker 2: Also important to understand the way media is going to 241 00:13:10,760 --> 00:13:14,199 Speaker 2: spin this. I'm looking at CNN right now. Their headline 242 00:13:14,280 --> 00:13:19,800 Speaker 2: is voters deliver early report card on Trump presidency. Even 243 00:13:19,840 --> 00:13:23,760 Speaker 2: though it's blue state Virginia, even though it's blue state 244 00:13:23,800 --> 00:13:28,479 Speaker 2: New Jersey, even though it is deep blue New York City. 245 00:13:28,559 --> 00:13:32,240 Speaker 2: They are going to argue if the results are Democrats win, 246 00:13:32,320 --> 00:13:34,520 Speaker 2: as they are favored to win many of these races. 247 00:13:34,760 --> 00:13:37,280 Speaker 2: They're going to argue that this is a massive repudiation 248 00:13:37,360 --> 00:13:39,760 Speaker 2: of Trump and that Americans regret the decision that they 249 00:13:39,800 --> 00:13:42,040 Speaker 2: made a year ago. Just prepare yourselves. 250 00:13:42,440 --> 00:13:48,640 Speaker 1: People vote. Most people vote first and foremost based on 251 00:13:48,720 --> 00:13:51,600 Speaker 1: how it makes them feel to cast that vote for 252 00:13:51,720 --> 00:13:55,880 Speaker 1: that person, that party, that candidate. So if you can 253 00:13:55,920 --> 00:14:03,520 Speaker 1: tap into frustration resentment. Some idea that this is an 254 00:14:03,640 --> 00:14:07,640 Speaker 1: effort to check or veto or slow down the Trump administration, 255 00:14:08,040 --> 00:14:12,040 Speaker 1: as absurd as that is, it's again the tooth fairy syndrome. Right, 256 00:14:12,640 --> 00:14:15,719 Speaker 1: this does nothing. Having a communist mayor in New York 257 00:14:15,760 --> 00:14:20,040 Speaker 1: does nothing to stop the Trump administration. Really, But if 258 00:14:20,040 --> 00:14:23,000 Speaker 1: people feel like it does, you get mom, Donnie, we'll see. 259 00:14:23,040 --> 00:14:25,760 Speaker 1: We'll take your calls on this too. Wor listeners, light 260 00:14:25,880 --> 00:14:28,920 Speaker 1: us up, tell us what you're hearing and seeing. Unplanned 261 00:14:28,960 --> 00:14:31,920 Speaker 1: pregnancies are scary when you're not planning something as huge 262 00:14:31,920 --> 00:14:35,920 Speaker 1: as bring another life into this world. There's often that 263 00:14:36,560 --> 00:14:40,320 Speaker 1: quote unquote easier choice that is being pushed on young women, 264 00:14:40,520 --> 00:14:44,120 Speaker 1: sometimes even by their families or their own partner, and 265 00:14:44,360 --> 00:14:46,320 Speaker 1: it can be a very tough moment. But that's why 266 00:14:46,360 --> 00:14:49,360 Speaker 1: there are organizations that are out there right now as 267 00:14:49,400 --> 00:14:51,000 Speaker 1: I'm speaking to you, that are saving the lives of 268 00:14:51,040 --> 00:14:54,680 Speaker 1: tiny babies. This year, preborn clinics save the lives of 269 00:14:54,720 --> 00:14:59,440 Speaker 1: sixty seven thousand unborn children by offering pregnant women with 270 00:14:59,480 --> 00:15:03,600 Speaker 1: an unplay pregnancy another option. Because when a mom to 271 00:15:03,680 --> 00:15:06,520 Speaker 1: be walks into one of those preborn clinics, she's welcome 272 00:15:06,560 --> 00:15:09,880 Speaker 1: with open arms. She's introduced to her baby through an ultrasound, 273 00:15:10,120 --> 00:15:12,960 Speaker 1: and for the first time, she sees that life so 274 00:15:13,240 --> 00:15:16,760 Speaker 1: clearly and has offered so many hope filled choices by 275 00:15:16,960 --> 00:15:20,720 Speaker 1: preborn and Preborn will continue with her for up to 276 00:15:20,760 --> 00:15:24,640 Speaker 1: two years after the birth of the baby, providing maternity clothes, diapers, counseling, 277 00:15:24,720 --> 00:15:27,880 Speaker 1: and so much more. Preborn cares for the whole woman, 278 00:15:27,920 --> 00:15:31,000 Speaker 1: her mind, body, and soul and the precious baby growing 279 00:15:31,040 --> 00:15:33,560 Speaker 1: inside her. There are hundreds of thousands of mothers to 280 00:15:33,600 --> 00:15:36,560 Speaker 1: be in this situation. They need your help. As you're 281 00:15:36,560 --> 00:15:39,880 Speaker 1: closing out this year, think about a deductible tax deductible 282 00:15:39,880 --> 00:15:42,280 Speaker 1: donation to preborn, which can be the difference between life 283 00:15:42,280 --> 00:15:45,760 Speaker 1: and death for a tiny baby in the womb.

And here's the truth. If Republicans 296 00:16:34,000 --> 00:16:37,560 Speaker 2: show up in big numbers today in New Jersey, then 297 00:16:38,160 --> 00:16:41,680 Speaker 2: Chitdarelli is going to win. If they do not, then 298 00:16:41,720 --> 00:16:44,680 Speaker 2: he is going to lose. Because there's pretty reliable data 299 00:16:44,720 --> 00:16:48,480 Speaker 2: out there, Buck, that shows that Democrats banked, as they 300 00:16:48,560 --> 00:16:52,360 Speaker 2: often do, a substantial lead of around two hundred and 301 00:16:52,360 --> 00:16:56,400 Speaker 2: fifty thousand votes. It appears headed into election day. So 302 00:16:56,560 --> 00:17:00,520 Speaker 2: the question is, can Republicans in New Jersey get out 303 00:17:00,560 --> 00:17:04,639 Speaker 2: to the polls and win election day and flip control 304 00:17:04,880 --> 00:17:08,800 Speaker 2: of the state of New Jersey. In Virginia when some 305 00:17:08,960 --> 00:17:14,200 Speaker 2: seers open no incumbent there but also lieutenant governor and 306 00:17:14,320 --> 00:17:19,800 Speaker 2: attorney general races that are all super competitive down the ballot, 307 00:17:20,080 --> 00:17:22,520 Speaker 2: as I mentioned the mayor's race in New York City, 308 00:17:22,560 --> 00:17:26,800 Speaker 2: mayor's races in Minneapolis, I believe, Cincinnati, I believe Detroit, 309 00:17:27,240 --> 00:17:30,880 Speaker 2: many of you across the country. The big Prop fifty 310 00:17:30,960 --> 00:17:37,119 Speaker 2: decision on California, and the headline is going to be, 311 00:17:38,280 --> 00:17:42,120 Speaker 2: if Democrats do well tonight, that this is a repudiation 312 00:17:42,280 --> 00:17:45,800 Speaker 2: of Donald Trump, even though that is not fair because 313 00:17:45,840 --> 00:17:49,119 Speaker 2: Trump lost to Virginia by five and lost New Jersey 314 00:17:49,200 --> 00:17:52,000 Speaker 2: by five, and these are both blue states, and certainly 315 00:17:52,080 --> 00:17:55,160 Speaker 2: New York City is among the deepest blue cities anywhere 316 00:17:55,200 --> 00:17:58,600 Speaker 2: in the country. But this is going to be seen 317 00:17:58,680 --> 00:18:02,240 Speaker 2: in some ways as a verdict on the first ten 318 00:18:02,280 --> 00:18:05,800 Speaker 2: months or so of Trump two point zero. You and 319 00:18:05,840 --> 00:18:09,359 Speaker 2: I are happy. Most people out there listening to us 320 00:18:09,440 --> 00:18:12,760 Speaker 2: right now are happy. And this is not the battleground 321 00:18:12,840 --> 00:18:16,800 Speaker 2: states that will decide things in twenty twenty six or 322 00:18:16,800 --> 00:18:20,000 Speaker 2: twenty twenty eight necessarily, but that is where we are. 323 00:18:20,040 --> 00:18:22,480 Speaker 2: They want to try to attack Trump, and they will 324 00:18:22,600 --> 00:18:25,520 Speaker 2: use these results if they can to do so. 325 00:18:25,560 --> 00:18:28,520 Speaker 1: This is going to seem like a minor thing to 326 00:18:28,600 --> 00:18:31,480 Speaker 1: some of you. But I'm telling you it's not. When 327 00:18:31,480 --> 00:18:33,360 Speaker 1: I go to New York, when I go to visit 328 00:18:33,440 --> 00:18:35,000 Speaker 1: my family, I'll be up there for thanksgiving us to 329 00:18:35,119 --> 00:18:38,600 Speaker 1: my family. The same thing I understand is true in 330 00:18:38,600 --> 00:18:40,960 Speaker 1: New Jersey. Clay. I go in there and I buy 331 00:18:41,600 --> 00:18:44,159 Speaker 1: some things in the store, you know, in the in 332 00:18:44,240 --> 00:18:47,439 Speaker 1: the grocery store, and they give me a paper bag, 333 00:18:48,280 --> 00:18:51,800 Speaker 1: and there's no option for a plastic bag. My understanding 334 00:18:51,840 --> 00:18:54,720 Speaker 1: is that Jack Chitarelli is going to reverse the New 335 00:18:54,800 --> 00:18:59,960 Speaker 1: Jersey ban on plastic on plastic grocery store bags. That'll 336 00:19:00,400 --> 00:19:03,240 Speaker 1: for me, I would be a single issue voter. I'm 337 00:19:03,240 --> 00:19:06,080 Speaker 1: here in Florida. They don't even charge me. They're giving 338 00:19:06,080 --> 00:19:08,080 Speaker 1: out plastic bags left and right. And let me tell you, 339 00:19:08,119 --> 00:19:10,320 Speaker 1: I use them for all kinds of things. And I 340 00:19:10,359 --> 00:19:12,879 Speaker 1: can tell you I wrap my tennis sneakers in one 341 00:19:12,880 --> 00:19:13,920 Speaker 1: of tho little plastic bags. 342 00:19:13,920 --> 00:19:16,160 Speaker 2: So probably pick up dog poop in the plastic bag 343 00:19:16,200 --> 00:19:18,160 Speaker 2: would be a good gig up dog poop in my pla. 344 00:19:18,480 --> 00:19:20,560 Speaker 1: I am reusing and using the plastic bag all the time. 345 00:19:21,119 --> 00:19:25,840 Speaker 1: The environmental data on non use of plastic bags is 346 00:19:25,920 --> 00:19:27,840 Speaker 1: very clear. It's actually worse for the environment for a 347 00:19:27,880 --> 00:19:31,320 Speaker 1: whole bunch of reasons, mostly because of paper is much heavier, 348 00:19:31,600 --> 00:19:35,880 Speaker 1: requires more fossil fuels to be expended in transport, cannot 349 00:19:35,880 --> 00:19:40,159 Speaker 1: be reused often breaks. People want double and triple bags. 350 00:19:40,440 --> 00:19:44,600 Speaker 1: This is a point of idiocy and New Jerseyans, I 351 00:19:44,640 --> 00:19:47,600 Speaker 1: know you've got housing costs and tax and crime and 352 00:19:47,600 --> 00:19:51,720 Speaker 1: all these other issues, but you fundamentally cannot trust a 353 00:19:51,760 --> 00:19:56,200 Speaker 1: politician who is in favor of banning plastic grocery bags. 354 00:19:56,840 --> 00:19:59,440 Speaker 1: I'm in the land of plastic grocery bags here in Florida, 355 00:19:59,480 --> 00:20:02,280 Speaker 1: thank you, Governor Ron DeSantis. I'm in the land of 356 00:20:02,280 --> 00:20:06,840 Speaker 1: plastic bags. Paper bags are trash. They are as in 357 00:20:06,880 --> 00:20:08,919 Speaker 1: they end up in the trash when they break, and 358 00:20:08,960 --> 00:20:12,800 Speaker 1: my milk and my other things fall all over the sidewalk. 359 00:20:13,000 --> 00:20:16,399 Speaker 1: Because a bunch of Libs want to believe there's somehow 360 00:20:16,480 --> 00:20:20,080 Speaker 1: fighting climate change by using these things. They're wrong on 361 00:20:20,119 --> 00:20:22,760 Speaker 1: the merits, They're wrong across the board. And I'm just 362 00:20:22,800 --> 00:20:24,840 Speaker 1: saying I would be one a single issue voter for 363 00:20:24,960 --> 00:20:28,000 Speaker 1: Jack Shudarelli on the plastic bag thing alone, and then 364 00:20:28,040 --> 00:20:30,560 Speaker 1: you add all the other stuff. It's really straightforward. The 365 00:20:31,119 --> 00:20:34,720 Speaker 1: Democrat there, Mikey Chryl she thinks that the fact that 366 00:20:34,720 --> 00:20:37,560 Speaker 1: there are all these municipalities play New Jersey that have 367 00:20:37,640 --> 00:20:40,680 Speaker 1: to have affordable housing. They call it affordable housing creation. 368 00:20:42,200 --> 00:20:45,560 Speaker 1: This is not the way that the market should determine, 369 00:20:45,920 --> 00:20:48,520 Speaker 1: you know, developers should say, hey, here's where I'm gonna 370 00:20:48,520 --> 00:20:51,760 Speaker 1: make housing. And here, you know, here's the cost of land, 371 00:20:52,160 --> 00:20:54,679 Speaker 1: here's the cost of labor in this area. They have 372 00:20:55,280 --> 00:20:58,399 Speaker 1: screwed up housing in New Jersey so much. It's so 373 00:20:58,560 --> 00:21:02,320 Speaker 1: expensive to make it because of politicians, and the Democrat 374 00:21:02,440 --> 00:21:04,280 Speaker 1: just wants to do more of that. And you've want 375 00:21:04,359 --> 00:21:06,159 Speaker 1: Chittarelli wants to rewrite of it to say, look, we 376 00:21:06,200 --> 00:21:08,000 Speaker 1: got to get rid of these stupid mandates and all 377 00:21:08,040 --> 00:21:12,800 Speaker 1: of the intrusions into the housing market. That's complicated. Grocery 378 00:21:12,800 --> 00:21:15,000 Speaker 1: bags not complicated, though, vote Chitarelli. 379 00:21:15,160 --> 00:21:17,639 Speaker 2: It's also not complicated to say, if you want to 380 00:21:17,640 --> 00:21:20,200 Speaker 2: have lower cost for rent, you need to have more 381 00:21:20,240 --> 00:21:25,040 Speaker 2: rentable units. I know sometimes we try to overcomplicate things, 382 00:21:25,520 --> 00:21:28,639 Speaker 2: but the number one way to drive down the price 383 00:21:28,680 --> 00:21:31,800 Speaker 2: of something is to have more of it. That is 384 00:21:32,040 --> 00:21:35,560 Speaker 2: the basic laws of economics. And so if you had 385 00:21:35,800 --> 00:21:39,280 Speaker 2: way fewer illegal immigrants, people would have to pay way 386 00:21:39,359 --> 00:21:42,959 Speaker 2: less for housing in the New York City area, and 387 00:21:43,040 --> 00:21:47,440 Speaker 2: so the whole concept of freezing rent actually gets the 388 00:21:47,480 --> 00:21:51,520 Speaker 2: incentive structure backwards, because what you need to do is 389 00:21:51,800 --> 00:21:57,240 Speaker 2: encourage building and create far more rentable units and encourage 390 00:21:57,280 --> 00:22:01,440 Speaker 2: the rehabilitation of some of the buildings that are otherwise 391 00:22:01,520 --> 00:22:05,320 Speaker 2: not rentable right now. And when you freeze rent, you 392 00:22:05,560 --> 00:22:10,639 Speaker 2: actually create an economic disincentive to increase the amount of 393 00:22:10,680 --> 00:22:14,439 Speaker 2: available housing in Manhattan and the New York City area. 394 00:22:14,520 --> 00:22:18,320 Speaker 2: So this is also basic that you know, the laws 395 00:22:18,359 --> 00:22:23,000 Speaker 2: of economics do apply across party and across city and 396 00:22:23,040 --> 00:22:25,640 Speaker 2: across state, whether they're blue or red. And the fact 397 00:22:25,640 --> 00:22:28,160 Speaker 2: that we can't even have a real argument with mom 398 00:22:28,200 --> 00:22:30,560 Speaker 2: Donnie where people point out this is first of all, 399 00:22:30,560 --> 00:22:32,600 Speaker 2: his Cuomo said he doesn't even have the authority to 400 00:22:32,640 --> 00:22:35,639 Speaker 2: do it. But if you truly desperately thought that rent 401 00:22:35,680 --> 00:22:37,920 Speaker 2: was too high in New York City, what you should 402 00:22:38,000 --> 00:22:41,359 Speaker 2: do is figure out a way to build as many 403 00:22:41,440 --> 00:22:46,359 Speaker 2: new housing units as possible, which feels like very basic 404 00:22:46,440 --> 00:22:49,359 Speaker 2: common sense to me, but it runs into oh, well, 405 00:22:49,600 --> 00:22:51,760 Speaker 2: then we've got climate issues or it's so hard to 406 00:22:51,760 --> 00:22:54,120 Speaker 2: get building permits, and so many of you out there 407 00:22:54,160 --> 00:22:56,680 Speaker 2: are just fed up with this. Well, but who's going 408 00:22:56,720 --> 00:22:58,280 Speaker 2: to do this. This is a huge thing in New 409 00:22:58,359 --> 00:23:00,080 Speaker 2: York as well, So New York and New Jersey. This 410 00:23:00,119 --> 00:23:05,720 Speaker 2: is the same problem played out in different locales. California 411 00:23:05,760 --> 00:23:09,480 Speaker 2: had that really embarrassing even for California, embarrassing bureaucratic moment 412 00:23:09,840 --> 00:23:11,399 Speaker 2: of the million dollar porta potty. 413 00:23:11,720 --> 00:23:13,760 Speaker 1: You'll remember that. You know, how many of you live 414 00:23:13,800 --> 00:23:15,560 Speaker 1: in a million dollar home right now? You know a 415 00:23:15,560 --> 00:23:17,800 Speaker 1: good amount of you. But you know, the average American 416 00:23:17,840 --> 00:23:19,640 Speaker 1: home right now is like four hundred grand or something. 417 00:23:19,720 --> 00:23:22,719 Speaker 1: So a million dollar home is a nice home. I mean, 418 00:23:22,760 --> 00:23:25,679 Speaker 1: that's an expensive depends on you know, in in Nebraska, 419 00:23:25,720 --> 00:23:28,520 Speaker 1: it's a mansion. In Manhattan, it's a one bedroom apartment, 420 00:23:28,560 --> 00:23:30,719 Speaker 1: but a million dollars it gets you some nice real 421 00:23:30,840 --> 00:23:33,840 Speaker 1: estate play. They were going to build a solo porta 422 00:23:33,880 --> 00:23:38,800 Speaker 1: potty basically like a glorified public bathroom for a million bucks. 423 00:23:38,800 --> 00:23:40,720 Speaker 1: I think it was in San Francisco, but it was California. 424 00:23:40,760 --> 00:23:44,919 Speaker 1: The state of California involved. And what that should be 425 00:23:44,960 --> 00:23:49,159 Speaker 1: the signal to everybody this state is not going to 426 00:23:49,280 --> 00:23:52,639 Speaker 1: do good things when it comes to building housing or 427 00:23:52,680 --> 00:23:57,760 Speaker 1: even involving itself in this housing process. This plays out 428 00:23:57,800 --> 00:24:01,119 Speaker 1: in so many ways, and you know, even in a 429 00:24:01,160 --> 00:24:03,640 Speaker 1: place like I know a friend of mine's a landlord, 430 00:24:03,760 --> 00:24:05,320 Speaker 1: like a kind of a you know, multi big, multi 431 00:24:05,320 --> 00:24:08,399 Speaker 1: family landlord in DC, and he says that DC, you know, 432 00:24:08,440 --> 00:24:11,200 Speaker 1: one of the big problems is with building new construction 433 00:24:11,240 --> 00:24:13,560 Speaker 1: of DC for people to live in. You know, you'll 434 00:24:13,600 --> 00:24:17,080 Speaker 1: never be able to evict anyone. Yeah, basically it's gonna 435 00:24:17,080 --> 00:24:19,800 Speaker 1: be impossible. It'll cost you so much to evict people 436 00:24:19,800 --> 00:24:23,320 Speaker 1: in Washington, d C. That you end up paying them 437 00:24:23,440 --> 00:24:26,760 Speaker 1: off to leave. Who wants to go through the headache 438 00:24:26,800 --> 00:24:29,040 Speaker 1: of I'm gonna build a new eight unit you know, 439 00:24:29,200 --> 00:24:34,400 Speaker 1: multifamily in northeast d C. And I'm gonna when half 440 00:24:34,440 --> 00:24:36,520 Speaker 1: your tenants can say I'm not paying you anymore, and 441 00:24:36,560 --> 00:24:39,879 Speaker 1: you end up paying them to leave after they've you know, 442 00:24:39,960 --> 00:24:42,480 Speaker 1: screwed you out of eight months of rent, no doubt. 443 00:24:42,640 --> 00:24:45,600 Speaker 2: And by the way, a couple of stories that are 444 00:24:45,640 --> 00:24:47,640 Speaker 2: also out there. Let me build on this for a minute, 445 00:24:47,680 --> 00:24:50,840 Speaker 2: buck La. A lot of you listening to us right 446 00:24:50,880 --> 00:24:55,399 Speaker 2: now in LA are nodding along. They still haven't gotten 447 00:24:55,440 --> 00:24:59,400 Speaker 2: the ability to rebuild the areas that were burned down 448 00:24:59,440 --> 00:25:03,760 Speaker 2: in Wasson Anelus because getting building permits in Democrat run 449 00:25:03,880 --> 00:25:09,719 Speaker 2: cities even for burned down homes is virtually impossible. And 450 00:25:09,760 --> 00:25:12,640 Speaker 2: you know who knows this better than anybody, Trump who 451 00:25:12,720 --> 00:25:15,280 Speaker 2: is a builder and is building a ballroom right now 452 00:25:15,280 --> 00:25:17,800 Speaker 2: because he found out there weren't zoning restrictions in DC. 453 00:25:17,960 --> 00:25:21,879 Speaker 2: Speaking of DC, buck all flights at Reagan National have 454 00:25:22,000 --> 00:25:27,280 Speaker 2: been halted following a reported bomb threat on an arriving aircraft, 455 00:25:28,560 --> 00:25:32,760 Speaker 2: and so the whole air traffic. Yesterday we talked about Houston. 456 00:25:33,240 --> 00:25:36,200 Speaker 2: There's a report that just came out that starting next 457 00:25:36,240 --> 00:25:39,720 Speaker 2: week they may have to restrict air space because of 458 00:25:39,760 --> 00:25:43,680 Speaker 2: the government shut down, meaning whole swaths of the country 459 00:25:44,040 --> 00:25:47,680 Speaker 2: they're going to be restricting air travel. I think Democrats 460 00:25:47,680 --> 00:25:49,720 Speaker 2: are going to come to the negotiating table and get 461 00:25:49,760 --> 00:25:52,280 Speaker 2: this thing done. As we have told you, as soon 462 00:25:52,320 --> 00:25:54,760 Speaker 2: as the election is over. They think it's beneficial to 463 00:25:54,800 --> 00:25:58,119 Speaker 2: them to have the government shut down in these elections. 464 00:25:58,200 --> 00:26:02,040 Speaker 2: I think that has been clearly their cowcus. But I 465 00:26:02,119 --> 00:26:07,480 Speaker 2: do think that this is a significant story that is 466 00:26:07,920 --> 00:26:11,080 Speaker 2: building an intensity and some of you listening to us 467 00:26:11,160 --> 00:26:13,199 Speaker 2: right now. And I was a part of this in 468 00:26:13,280 --> 00:26:16,240 Speaker 2: Chicago on Friday because they shut down Nashville's airport for 469 00:26:16,280 --> 00:26:18,720 Speaker 2: a while when I was trying to travel. A lot 470 00:26:18,760 --> 00:26:22,720 Speaker 2: of people right now are getting caught up in frustrated 471 00:26:23,000 --> 00:26:26,680 Speaker 2: trying to get through tsa, trying to get on planes. 472 00:26:27,160 --> 00:26:32,200 Speaker 2: This is absolutely ridiculous. So that is all underway as 473 00:26:32,240 --> 00:26:36,879 Speaker 2: we are speaking to you. Let me also say this, 474 00:26:38,720 --> 00:26:41,240 Speaker 2: if you go buy my book, I will love you forever. 475 00:26:41,920 --> 00:26:45,159 Speaker 2: I think that is a simple way. I want this 476 00:26:45,200 --> 00:26:47,399 Speaker 2: book to be in as many hands as possible. It 477 00:26:47,440 --> 00:26:50,280 Speaker 2: should be in every bookstore, so wherever you are in 478 00:26:50,320 --> 00:26:54,439 Speaker 2: the country right now, Balls is out there and the 479 00:26:54,600 --> 00:26:57,919 Speaker 2: esteemed President Donald Trump is the only quote on the 480 00:26:57,960 --> 00:27:00,920 Speaker 2: back Buck It says Klay Travis has a great new book. 481 00:27:01,200 --> 00:27:04,240 Speaker 2: Clay is a highly talented commentator, great taste. This Trump, 482 00:27:04,560 --> 00:27:07,720 Speaker 2: who is tough, smart and gifted with common sense. He 483 00:27:07,800 --> 00:27:11,240 Speaker 2: has studied our historic movement from the very beginning, truly 484 00:27:11,240 --> 00:27:14,520 Speaker 2: gets Maga. Maga loves him. This is the only thing 485 00:27:14,560 --> 00:27:17,119 Speaker 2: on the back of the book. I think President Trump 486 00:27:17,160 --> 00:27:20,679 Speaker 2: for the endorsement, I would really appreciate to get on 487 00:27:20,680 --> 00:27:22,880 Speaker 2: the New York Times list. They don't want to put 488 00:27:22,880 --> 00:27:24,359 Speaker 2: me on Buck, They don't want to put you on. 489 00:27:24,440 --> 00:27:27,600 Speaker 2: Joe Kanha, our friend just texted me and he said, hey, 490 00:27:27,880 --> 00:27:30,240 Speaker 2: I've written all my books. They finally put me on 491 00:27:30,320 --> 00:27:34,040 Speaker 2: the Times list. I've been a bestseller before, all the books. 492 00:27:34,560 --> 00:27:38,159 Speaker 2: This is my potentially last best chance. But Consha's listening 493 00:27:38,200 --> 00:27:40,600 Speaker 2: right now, and he said, dude, they finally put me 494 00:27:40,680 --> 00:27:43,800 Speaker 2: on the list. Maybe they aren't as communist Layden as 495 00:27:43,800 --> 00:27:45,920 Speaker 2: they have been in the past, so but I need 496 00:27:45,960 --> 00:27:47,440 Speaker 2: to blow through the numbers. 497 00:27:47,560 --> 00:27:50,119 Speaker 1: It's like Trump winning in an election in order to 498 00:27:50,160 --> 00:27:53,200 Speaker 1: get like Joe knsca though you know, like Joe Kanha, 499 00:27:53,359 --> 00:27:55,720 Speaker 1: great guy, crazy, crazy to not put him on the list. 500 00:27:55,800 --> 00:27:58,240 Speaker 2: But you know, this is like the election. Right, You're 501 00:27:58,240 --> 00:28:00,480 Speaker 2: not going to win by a few thousand, right, you 502 00:28:00,560 --> 00:28:03,679 Speaker 2: have to be way over the finish line. You have 503 00:28:03,760 --> 00:28:06,159 Speaker 2: to win by thousands and thousands of vote. You have 504 00:28:06,200 --> 00:28:08,920 Speaker 2: to win a landslide. And that's where I need all 505 00:28:08,960 --> 00:28:12,639 Speaker 2: of you. Amazon's got it right now, every bookstore in America. 506 00:28:13,160 --> 00:28:16,240 Speaker 2: I would seriously, deeply appreciate if you guys would go 507 00:28:16,280 --> 00:28:18,080 Speaker 2: by it. As Buck said earlier, it's a lot of 508 00:28:18,119 --> 00:28:21,480 Speaker 2: work to write a book. We actually write books, finish 509 00:28:21,600 --> 00:28:23,600 Speaker 2: the show, sit down in front of the computer, crank 510 00:28:23,680 --> 00:28:26,280 Speaker 2: this thing out. It's fun, it's engaging. Also, if you're 511 00:28:26,280 --> 00:28:29,320 Speaker 2: not a reader, I read the entire thing on audiobook. 512 00:28:29,359 --> 00:28:32,000 Speaker 2: Are you scheduled to be in the audiobook chamber? I 513 00:28:32,119 --> 00:28:34,000 Speaker 2: say that because it is somewhat accurate. 514 00:28:34,480 --> 00:28:37,800 Speaker 1: And over the Christmas, over the Christmas holiday, ba humbug 515 00:28:37,880 --> 00:28:40,320 Speaker 1: ebeny's a scrooge coming from my holiday. 516 00:28:40,480 --> 00:28:43,760 Speaker 2: So you come back in January because you are. I've 517 00:28:43,800 --> 00:28:47,600 Speaker 2: recorded the last three of my books. You guys know, 518 00:28:47,640 --> 00:28:51,240 Speaker 2: I mispronounced words all the time. They have you there reading, 519 00:28:51,480 --> 00:28:54,800 Speaker 2: and every time you mispronounce anything, or you miss a 520 00:28:54,840 --> 00:28:56,600 Speaker 2: word or whatever else, they stop you. 521 00:28:57,240 --> 00:29:00,320 Speaker 1: It is unbelievably. 522 00:29:00,040 --> 00:29:02,320 Speaker 2: Challenging to just read an entire book, to say nothing 523 00:29:02,360 --> 00:29:04,440 Speaker 2: of the fact that you think, oh, I should have 524 00:29:04,480 --> 00:29:06,960 Speaker 2: put that paragraph there. Why am I an idiot? Why 525 00:29:06,960 --> 00:29:08,920 Speaker 2: did I have that sentence here? I could have written 526 00:29:08,920 --> 00:29:12,600 Speaker 2: this better. You just self criticize the whole time you're 527 00:29:12,640 --> 00:29:15,400 Speaker 2: doing it. But you can hear me read the entire 528 00:29:15,480 --> 00:29:18,320 Speaker 2: thing I did the audiobook book, buck'llb be doing his. 529 00:29:18,720 --> 00:29:21,360 Speaker 2: So if you're like my wife and you listen to 530 00:29:21,440 --> 00:29:24,320 Speaker 2: books more than you read them because you're driving kids around, 531 00:29:24,440 --> 00:29:26,920 Speaker 2: or you're on the road lot, you're a trucker, you 532 00:29:27,000 --> 00:29:29,880 Speaker 2: got that option to I would seriously deeply appreciate if 533 00:29:29,920 --> 00:29:32,520 Speaker 2: you would go buy a copy of Balls today and 534 00:29:32,640 --> 00:29:33,760 Speaker 2: drive me up the best sellers. 535 00:29:33,760 --> 00:29:35,560 Speaker 1: People are asking what charity you're going to donate the 536 00:29:35,560 --> 00:29:36,160 Speaker 1: proceeds to. 537 00:29:36,320 --> 00:29:38,800 Speaker 2: I might add, Yeah, I'm gonna treat the t Yeah, 538 00:29:38,800 --> 00:29:41,440 Speaker 2: I'm gonna try to send to a bunch. I don't 539 00:29:41,480 --> 00:29:44,560 Speaker 2: want to break news. We're talking about doing something pretty. 540 00:29:44,760 --> 00:29:50,200 Speaker 2: I'm gonna break news significant at Vanderbilt Law School about 541 00:29:50,280 --> 00:29:54,840 Speaker 2: commitment to free speech principles for lawyers because I'm troubled 542 00:29:54,880 --> 00:29:57,360 Speaker 2: by what I've seen so many law schools out there 543 00:29:57,360 --> 00:30:01,280 Speaker 2: doing when they're not with Basically, the whole idea of 544 00:30:01,280 --> 00:30:04,080 Speaker 2: being a lawyer is you have to sometimes advocate for 545 00:30:04,160 --> 00:30:07,560 Speaker 2: things that you might personally disagree with. That's the job. 546 00:30:08,040 --> 00:30:10,280 Speaker 2: And I see a lot of law schools now saying, well, 547 00:30:10,720 --> 00:30:13,720 Speaker 2: if it's not the right woke perspective, then we don't 548 00:30:13,720 --> 00:30:16,800 Speaker 2: even feel like we should teach advocacy here. And I 549 00:30:16,880 --> 00:30:19,840 Speaker 2: deeply disagree with that, as does my wife. So we're 550 00:30:19,840 --> 00:30:22,280 Speaker 2: trying to work on something there that could be significant. 551 00:30:22,480 --> 00:30:24,600 Speaker 1: So in twenty years, is Uncle Klaiy gonna be able 552 00:30:24,600 --> 00:30:26,720 Speaker 1: to get a little Jimmy Speed into the Vanderble Law School. 553 00:30:26,760 --> 00:30:29,040 Speaker 1: Let's get down to brass tax here. I should have 554 00:30:29,120 --> 00:30:31,920 Speaker 1: good poll there. We've got a good poll. That's what 555 00:30:31,960 --> 00:30:34,479 Speaker 1: I'm talking about right there, and write down to it. 556 00:30:34,760 --> 00:30:37,120 Speaker 1: But I was also on in Asheville, North Carolina. I 557 00:30:37,120 --> 00:30:38,720 Speaker 1: want to do something I know we've already done some 558 00:30:38,760 --> 00:30:42,040 Speaker 1: stuff western North Carolina. I did a tour this morning 559 00:30:42,080 --> 00:30:44,360 Speaker 1: with a lot of our local affiliates. I think there's 560 00:30:44,360 --> 00:30:46,680 Speaker 1: still a lot of people struggling in the Ashville area, 561 00:30:46,760 --> 00:30:50,400 Speaker 1: even though it's been a year since the hurricane hit there, 562 00:30:51,120 --> 00:30:52,640 Speaker 1: but a lot of people have forgotten. My in laws 563 00:30:52,680 --> 00:30:54,960 Speaker 1: are still still rebuildings, still rebuilding. 564 00:30:55,000 --> 00:30:55,120 Speaker 4: Oh. 565 00:30:55,520 --> 00:30:57,560 Speaker 2: I think there are tons of people in that area 566 00:30:57,680 --> 00:31:00,000 Speaker 2: that need help. So I'm going to do a variet 567 00:31:00,200 --> 00:31:04,320 Speaker 2: of things. But I'm excited about being able to hopefully 568 00:31:04,360 --> 00:31:06,920 Speaker 2: make a little bit of difference out there.

You tell me 601 00:32:50,320 --> 00:32:52,720 Speaker 2: if you would sign on to these and or what 602 00:32:52,760 --> 00:32:56,200 Speaker 2: you are seeing U if Chitdarelli is gonna win in 603 00:32:56,280 --> 00:32:59,600 Speaker 2: New Jersey, Republicans have to turn out in huge numbers 604 00:32:59,640 --> 00:33:02,440 Speaker 2: today because he's down around two hundred and fifty or 605 00:33:02,480 --> 00:33:06,560 Speaker 2: so thousand votes. It appears based on early voting and 606 00:33:07,200 --> 00:33:13,040 Speaker 2: the mail ballots absentees, Virginia is looking bad for wins 607 00:33:13,040 --> 00:33:17,680 Speaker 2: some seers, but Jason Mirerez, the Attorney general, is in 608 00:33:17,960 --> 00:33:20,920 Speaker 2: a tight race and has a decent chance. Lieutenant governor 609 00:33:21,000 --> 00:33:23,800 Speaker 2: is going to be competitive there, and it looks like 610 00:33:23,960 --> 00:33:27,840 Speaker 2: Mom Donnie is going to win and potentially win with 611 00:33:27,960 --> 00:33:31,120 Speaker 2: more than fifty percent of the vote. Do you sign 612 00:33:31,200 --> 00:33:32,479 Speaker 2: on to any of those takes? 613 00:33:32,520 --> 00:33:35,400 Speaker 1: Am I wrong? How would you assess where we are now? 614 00:33:35,480 --> 00:33:38,600 Speaker 8: You're pretty on the money, I mean what we new. 615 00:33:38,680 --> 00:33:41,840 Speaker 8: Jersey's reporting county by county, so it's very difficult for 616 00:33:41,880 --> 00:33:44,760 Speaker 8: me to get a real estimate. Remember Shita Rally only 617 00:33:44,800 --> 00:33:47,120 Speaker 8: lost by eighty thousand votes in twenty twenty one. He 618 00:33:47,200 --> 00:33:52,280 Speaker 8: lost election day Republican versus Democrat turnout, right, there were 619 00:33:52,320 --> 00:33:54,560 Speaker 8: more Democrats turn on election day in twenty twenty one 620 00:33:54,880 --> 00:33:57,880 Speaker 8: than Republicans, but he went independence by such a large 621 00:33:57,960 --> 00:34:02,120 Speaker 8: margin it overwhelmed whatever Democrat turnout look like. He won 622 00:34:02,200 --> 00:34:04,680 Speaker 8: election to buy a little over two hundred thousand votes. 623 00:34:05,120 --> 00:34:08,680 Speaker 8: Right now, it's looking like one thing that's pretty surprising 624 00:34:08,760 --> 00:34:11,720 Speaker 8: is how many people in Mikey Cheryl's district are voting 625 00:34:11,760 --> 00:34:14,680 Speaker 8: for are voting right now? Is she is tremendous turnout 626 00:34:14,680 --> 00:34:18,239 Speaker 8: out of her districts As of noon today, not all 627 00:34:18,320 --> 00:34:20,280 Speaker 8: the counties are reporting. A lot of the big Republican 628 00:34:20,320 --> 00:34:23,360 Speaker 8: counties have yet to report some of the miles some 629 00:34:23,400 --> 00:34:26,960 Speaker 8: of the other big Republican counties have reported. But definitely 630 00:34:27,040 --> 00:34:30,640 Speaker 8: Mikey Cheryl's district is definitely showing up in full force. 631 00:34:30,719 --> 00:34:33,919 Speaker 8: Presumably for her. It's a pretty safe Democratic district over 632 00:34:34,000 --> 00:34:37,600 Speaker 8: in Virginia. What I've sat there and seen right now is, 633 00:34:38,680 --> 00:34:41,400 Speaker 8: you know, there's a Republican counties are kind of in 634 00:34:41,400 --> 00:34:44,200 Speaker 8: a mix right now. There's kind of of Caroline County, 635 00:34:44,239 --> 00:34:48,080 Speaker 8: Green County, Norden County which are doing fairly well of 636 00:34:48,239 --> 00:34:51,600 Speaker 8: you know, they're coming up in pretty large numbers. But 637 00:34:51,719 --> 00:34:54,440 Speaker 8: also at the same time, there's other super big Republican 638 00:34:54,480 --> 00:34:58,520 Speaker 8: counties like Appomatox and Buchanan which are having horrendous turnouts. 639 00:34:58,520 --> 00:35:01,280 Speaker 8: So Republicans are making up some of the best turnout 640 00:35:01,440 --> 00:35:04,000 Speaker 8: counties and some of the worst at the same exact time. 641 00:35:04,800 --> 00:35:08,160 Speaker 8: Places like Alexandria, f Fairfax, they are about fifty percent 642 00:35:08,200 --> 00:35:10,640 Speaker 8: of their twenty twenty four election day as of right now, 643 00:35:11,120 --> 00:35:14,000 Speaker 8: fifty five to sixty. New York City is going to 644 00:35:14,040 --> 00:35:17,200 Speaker 8: have the largest turnout in the oral history. We're easily 645 00:35:17,200 --> 00:35:19,040 Speaker 8: going to blow pass I think two million votes. And 646 00:35:19,160 --> 00:35:21,600 Speaker 8: it's pretty safe to say largest election ever was in 647 00:35:21,640 --> 00:35:27,239 Speaker 8: nineteen ninety one for nineteen eighty three rather four for Giuliani. 648 00:35:27,320 --> 00:35:29,320 Speaker 8: This is that was one point eight million. This is 649 00:35:29,360 --> 00:35:33,320 Speaker 8: going to be at least two million. Tremendously high turnouts 650 00:35:34,239 --> 00:35:36,680 Speaker 8: in places like the Bronx, which had not voted at 651 00:35:36,680 --> 00:35:40,920 Speaker 8: all on before election day, horrendous voting before election day, 652 00:35:41,200 --> 00:35:42,800 Speaker 8: had tremendously high turnouts. 653 00:35:44,000 --> 00:35:48,120 Speaker 1: So Ryan in the New York race, the thing that 654 00:35:48,160 --> 00:35:51,759 Speaker 1: you hear about constantly from the mam Donni camp is 655 00:35:51,800 --> 00:35:55,280 Speaker 1: just variations on cost of living and how Mam Donnie 656 00:35:55,320 --> 00:35:57,920 Speaker 1: says he's going to bring those costs down. This is 657 00:35:58,239 --> 00:36:02,000 Speaker 1: as far as I'm concerned, like fairy tale stuff. But 658 00:36:02,120 --> 00:36:04,480 Speaker 1: put that aside for a second. Is it a similar 659 00:36:05,000 --> 00:36:08,080 Speaker 1: situation in New Jersey? What are the biggest things that 660 00:36:08,120 --> 00:36:12,560 Speaker 1: are at issue that are actually moving mobilizing voters and 661 00:36:12,600 --> 00:36:15,200 Speaker 1: that could make the difference here in turnout when you 662 00:36:15,239 --> 00:36:19,360 Speaker 1: look at the issues between Cheryl and Chittarelli, Well. 663 00:36:19,239 --> 00:36:21,600 Speaker 8: The biggest issue, and I cover this on the Numbers 664 00:36:21,640 --> 00:36:23,840 Speaker 8: Game podcast for a whole episode, one of the biggest 665 00:36:23,840 --> 00:36:26,800 Speaker 8: issues in both for Virginia and New Jersey or electric prices. 666 00:36:26,880 --> 00:36:29,640 Speaker 8: Electric prices are through the roof. Two thirds of electric 667 00:36:29,680 --> 00:36:33,279 Speaker 8: price increases, according to CNN, were because none that that's 668 00:36:33,320 --> 00:36:35,640 Speaker 8: a reliable source. But two thirds of the increased costs 669 00:36:35,760 --> 00:36:36,680 Speaker 8: was because. 670 00:36:36,560 --> 00:36:39,480 Speaker 1: Of every time you mentioned CNN on our show, Ryan, 671 00:36:39,560 --> 00:36:42,080 Speaker 1: we play a little boo in the podcast back. 672 00:36:42,920 --> 00:36:45,000 Speaker 8: Well, I think the article was I think the article 673 00:36:45,040 --> 00:36:47,719 Speaker 8: is a tremendous amount of the data centers and the 674 00:36:47,800 --> 00:36:50,160 Speaker 8: data centers that are popping up everywhere and how the 675 00:36:50,239 --> 00:36:53,879 Speaker 8: increased costs are coming in those in states like that. 676 00:36:53,880 --> 00:36:56,320 Speaker 8: That's a big thing. What happened in New Jersey. What 677 00:36:56,480 --> 00:36:59,319 Speaker 8: happened in Virginia is that Democrats are to nationalize it right, 678 00:36:59,440 --> 00:37:02,040 Speaker 8: make the whole election about Donald Trump and say a 679 00:37:02,120 --> 00:37:04,440 Speaker 8: vote for me is a vote against Trump. Even Jay 680 00:37:04,520 --> 00:37:06,439 Speaker 8: Jones is doing that as attorney in the general general 681 00:37:06,520 --> 00:37:09,640 Speaker 8: race is Trump all day, all night. Chittarelli has talked 682 00:37:09,680 --> 00:37:11,960 Speaker 8: a lot about you know, cost of living, how they 683 00:37:11,960 --> 00:37:17,719 Speaker 8: be effective an effective administrator? Uh that, I don't know 684 00:37:17,840 --> 00:37:21,400 Speaker 8: what's what? What's moving numbers right now? Democrat numbers are 685 00:37:21,440 --> 00:37:25,160 Speaker 8: fairly strong in a number of places. But numbers are strong, 686 00:37:25,160 --> 00:37:28,160 Speaker 8: by the way, everywhere I'm looking at races across the country. 687 00:37:28,200 --> 00:37:30,800 Speaker 8: There's an election in Miami going on right now. Democrat 688 00:37:30,840 --> 00:37:34,520 Speaker 8: turnout is gigantic right now in Miami, the race elections 689 00:37:34,560 --> 00:37:37,840 Speaker 8: in Pennsylvania. There's lines around the corner in Pittsburgh to 690 00:37:37,840 --> 00:37:41,000 Speaker 8: go vote. This is This is a very this is 691 00:37:41,000 --> 00:37:44,239 Speaker 8: probably one of the highest turnout elections and off off 692 00:37:44,320 --> 00:37:49,000 Speaker 8: non primary, non non presidential, non midterm years probably. 693 00:37:49,040 --> 00:37:54,120 Speaker 2: Ever, what's the impact, if anything, of Trump saying Cuomo 694 00:37:54,280 --> 00:37:55,400 Speaker 2: should be your vote? 695 00:37:55,520 --> 00:37:56,120 Speaker 1: U Slee? 696 00:37:56,160 --> 00:37:59,480 Speaker 2: What can't win? He waited till the night before the election. 697 00:38:00,200 --> 00:38:03,279 Speaker 2: There's been arguments that it actually helps Mom Donnie. At 698 00:38:03,280 --> 00:38:07,640 Speaker 2: this point, does it have any impact and prediction from you? 699 00:38:08,320 --> 00:38:10,799 Speaker 2: Do you think that Mom Donnie is likely to get 700 00:38:10,840 --> 00:38:13,960 Speaker 2: over fifty percent, in which case all the talk about 701 00:38:14,000 --> 00:38:17,719 Speaker 2: Sleeve versus Cuomo versus Eric Adams may not end up 702 00:38:17,760 --> 00:38:20,359 Speaker 2: having mattered because he gets over half the vote, than 703 00:38:20,680 --> 00:38:22,880 Speaker 2: it doesn't matter how much split vote there was. 704 00:38:24,239 --> 00:38:28,120 Speaker 8: Yeah, I it doesn't. It's not helpful for Trump to 705 00:38:28,160 --> 00:38:30,440 Speaker 8: weigh in because he's so disliked by two thirds of 706 00:38:30,480 --> 00:38:33,839 Speaker 8: New Yorkers, A thirty three percent love him or like him, 707 00:38:34,040 --> 00:38:36,239 Speaker 8: and two thirds can stand him in New York. And 708 00:38:36,280 --> 00:38:39,120 Speaker 8: I don't think that it's necessarily helpful Little Cuomo. I 709 00:38:39,160 --> 00:38:41,759 Speaker 8: think Curtis Leewa could have done not only more for 710 00:38:42,320 --> 00:38:45,520 Speaker 8: himself by by by a team Ampo Cuomo, but also 711 00:38:45,560 --> 00:38:48,319 Speaker 8: helping the Republicans running down ballot in New York City, 712 00:38:48,320 --> 00:38:51,120 Speaker 8: which is going to be tremendously important if Mundanni becomes 713 00:38:51,200 --> 00:38:54,200 Speaker 8: mayor Kenny Whin. I listen, I can remember fifty percent. 714 00:38:54,280 --> 00:38:55,840 Speaker 8: I don't know, and I don't like to predict that. 715 00:38:55,920 --> 00:38:57,960 Speaker 8: I don't like to make predictions. I know I can't 716 00:38:58,640 --> 00:39:00,960 Speaker 8: come true on but here's I'll sit there and say 717 00:39:01,120 --> 00:39:03,000 Speaker 8: you know who's looking at this election more than anybody 718 00:39:03,040 --> 00:39:05,799 Speaker 8: is AOC, because everyone kind of sat there and said, 719 00:39:05,840 --> 00:39:08,279 Speaker 8: Mandannie has a ceiling. Mandannie has a ceiling. He got 720 00:39:08,320 --> 00:39:10,600 Speaker 8: so in so many votes in the primary. He can't 721 00:39:10,640 --> 00:39:13,160 Speaker 8: possibly get more than a million votes in a two 722 00:39:13,200 --> 00:39:17,280 Speaker 8: million person election in the general. If there's no ceiling 723 00:39:17,320 --> 00:39:20,280 Speaker 8: on socialism, AOC is going to look at that and say, Okay, 724 00:39:20,280 --> 00:39:22,520 Speaker 8: it's my time to shine. I'm running for president. And 725 00:39:22,560 --> 00:39:24,200 Speaker 8: it's not a joke when you say I mean, yes, 726 00:39:24,200 --> 00:39:26,719 Speaker 8: New York City is not reflective the entire country, but 727 00:39:26,840 --> 00:39:29,279 Speaker 8: there's a big chunk of that base. And the Democratic 728 00:39:29,280 --> 00:39:31,840 Speaker 8: primary sits there and says, no, there's no cap on socialism. 729 00:39:31,920 --> 00:39:35,279 Speaker 8: Let's go go completely full fledge on this, and then 730 00:39:35,320 --> 00:39:36,879 Speaker 8: it's just a race to the left of who can 731 00:39:36,880 --> 00:39:39,280 Speaker 8: get there first, especially in economic issues. 732 00:39:39,960 --> 00:39:43,680 Speaker 1: Ryan. On the Virginia side of things, it's not looking 733 00:39:43,719 --> 00:39:45,520 Speaker 1: good from everything that we've seen, and we talked to 734 00:39:45,560 --> 00:39:47,920 Speaker 1: you about this in the in the early voting stage 735 00:39:47,960 --> 00:39:51,640 Speaker 1: a bit win some sears was this just not a 736 00:39:51,719 --> 00:39:54,759 Speaker 1: race she could win because of the political realities of 737 00:39:54,800 --> 00:39:57,920 Speaker 1: the state of Virginia right now and the enormous weight 738 00:39:58,040 --> 00:40:01,120 Speaker 1: that really the suburbs of d which is what like 739 00:40:01,160 --> 00:40:07,000 Speaker 1: Fairfax County and uh Nova, all those different areas of it. Basically, 740 00:40:07,280 --> 00:40:10,120 Speaker 1: was this not her fault or I don't remember a 741 00:40:10,200 --> 00:40:14,080 Speaker 1: single thing coming from her side of the campaign. Plenty 742 00:40:14,120 --> 00:40:17,719 Speaker 1: of things coming from the Spamburger that I didn't like, 743 00:40:17,760 --> 00:40:19,600 Speaker 1: but I was certainly hearing about. But win some serious. 744 00:40:19,640 --> 00:40:21,279 Speaker 1: I didn't even hear what she was standing for. 745 00:40:22,040 --> 00:40:24,279 Speaker 8: She said one thing and one thing only, I will 746 00:40:24,280 --> 00:40:27,080 Speaker 8: stop transgender bathrooms from happening in Virginia issues out of 747 00:40:27,160 --> 00:40:29,279 Speaker 8: every single day, that was the only sue she ran on. Look, 748 00:40:29,600 --> 00:40:31,719 Speaker 8: I'm not here to trash someone who's still the votes 749 00:40:31,719 --> 00:40:33,320 Speaker 8: are still has to be counted, so I'll say, so 750 00:40:33,440 --> 00:40:37,520 Speaker 8: win some sears. She's doing significantly worse than both the 751 00:40:37,560 --> 00:40:41,040 Speaker 8: candid for lieutenant governor and AG and even before the scandal, 752 00:40:41,080 --> 00:40:42,759 Speaker 8: she was doing worse than the AG can. It's not 753 00:40:42,760 --> 00:40:45,160 Speaker 8: only she's an unknown persons a lieutenant, she's a lieutenant 754 00:40:45,200 --> 00:40:49,040 Speaker 8: governor currently. She raised a ton of money. She wasn't 755 00:40:49,440 --> 00:40:53,200 Speaker 8: starving for cash. She ran on only one issue, which 756 00:40:53,440 --> 00:40:55,680 Speaker 8: was transgender stuff. And I'm not saying it's not great 757 00:40:55,760 --> 00:40:58,040 Speaker 8: for Republicans. It is a it's a winning issue. 758 00:40:58,239 --> 00:41:00,320 Speaker 1: She need, She needed more than that. It sounds like, 759 00:41:00,400 --> 00:41:02,640 Speaker 1: assuming that the polls are accurate so far, that that 760 00:41:02,760 --> 00:41:05,280 Speaker 1: alone is not going to propel her to the governor's mansion. 761 00:41:05,520 --> 00:41:07,600 Speaker 8: It's just not the most important. It was the only 762 00:41:07,719 --> 00:41:10,920 Speaker 8: thing she talked about. She didn't talk about anything. And 763 00:41:10,960 --> 00:41:13,520 Speaker 8: then when she was asked about specifically data centers because 764 00:41:13,520 --> 00:41:17,719 Speaker 8: electricity prices are increasing throughout Virginia, she sat there and said, well, 765 00:41:17,719 --> 00:41:19,480 Speaker 8: they're here to stay, and I'm building more of them. 766 00:41:19,680 --> 00:41:22,839 Speaker 8: And it was very, very very unpopular. She just is, 767 00:41:22,960 --> 00:41:26,920 Speaker 8: She's she ran. She her original campaign team was had 768 00:41:26,960 --> 00:41:28,080 Speaker 8: a lot to be desired. 769 00:41:28,160 --> 00:41:28,840 Speaker 1: I talked to a lot of. 770 00:41:28,800 --> 00:41:31,080 Speaker 8: People running down Ballad. They did not like what she 771 00:41:31,280 --> 00:41:36,920 Speaker 8: was doing. And she's not just losing today like the 772 00:41:36,960 --> 00:41:39,400 Speaker 8: lieutenant governor. She is just a generic Republican. No one 773 00:41:39,440 --> 00:41:41,280 Speaker 8: really knows a lot about it. He had no money. 774 00:41:41,480 --> 00:41:44,360 Speaker 8: She's losing worse than him, and it's it says a 775 00:41:44,360 --> 00:41:46,560 Speaker 8: lot more about her. It's a bed year. It's a 776 00:41:46,600 --> 00:41:49,360 Speaker 8: bed year. You lose, you lose. But when you're losing 777 00:41:49,400 --> 00:41:52,319 Speaker 8: worse than somebody with no money, no name ID, and 778 00:41:52,360 --> 00:41:55,520 Speaker 8: that's just a generic Republican, that's probably That's pretty much on. 779 00:41:55,600 --> 00:41:59,400 Speaker 2: You, Okay, to what extent do you believe there is 780 00:41:59,440 --> 00:42:03,920 Speaker 2: any pictive value in these elections as we look toward 781 00:42:04,080 --> 00:42:08,319 Speaker 2: next year's elections, which have far more consequential stakes. 782 00:42:08,840 --> 00:42:11,600 Speaker 8: I think that it looks like Democrats are voting like 783 00:42:11,600 --> 00:42:14,319 Speaker 8: it's a presidential election. I mean, that's just the truth 784 00:42:14,320 --> 00:42:17,040 Speaker 8: of it. They are voting in early elections and presidentials. 785 00:42:17,239 --> 00:42:19,400 Speaker 8: Some of these counties I'm looking at in New Jersey 786 00:42:19,560 --> 00:42:22,000 Speaker 8: where it was five to one in twenty twenty Blue 787 00:42:22,000 --> 00:42:24,600 Speaker 8: counties five to one Democrat in twenty twenty one, it's 788 00:42:24,640 --> 00:42:27,240 Speaker 8: looking like eight or nine to one Democrat right now. 789 00:42:27,400 --> 00:42:30,200 Speaker 8: Just Democrat turnout is through the roof in some of 790 00:42:30,239 --> 00:42:33,960 Speaker 8: these places, especially as white college educated areas, and they 791 00:42:33,960 --> 00:42:36,640 Speaker 8: are voting like at the presidential election. And Republicans really 792 00:42:36,640 --> 00:42:38,680 Speaker 8: need to wake up if they think, even with all 793 00:42:38,680 --> 00:42:40,680 Speaker 8: this gerryman and that they're doing and things that are 794 00:42:40,960 --> 00:42:43,719 Speaker 8: work in their favor, if they think they can win 795 00:42:43,760 --> 00:42:46,200 Speaker 8: on that alone, they cannot. When it comes to this 796 00:42:46,280 --> 00:42:48,920 Speaker 8: kind of turnout. The turnout is immense, and Republicans need 797 00:42:49,000 --> 00:42:52,400 Speaker 8: to match it in a significant way and really need 798 00:42:52,440 --> 00:42:54,520 Speaker 8: to have answers on certain things in the econmomnis, I 799 00:42:54,520 --> 00:42:57,359 Speaker 8: think are really pressing people's questions on quality of. 800 00:42:57,320 --> 00:43:02,600 Speaker 1: Life, Sony, last minute thoughts for how you think New 801 00:43:02,680 --> 00:43:06,200 Speaker 1: York is going to go specifically Ryan as their votes 802 00:43:06,239 --> 00:43:09,480 Speaker 1: are coming in right now, is a Cuomo This is 803 00:43:09,480 --> 00:43:12,080 Speaker 1: really what I'm leaning forward. Is a last minute Cuomo 804 00:43:12,239 --> 00:43:15,480 Speaker 1: miracle in the cards? Or have you already written this off? 805 00:43:16,480 --> 00:43:19,640 Speaker 8: I mean, listen, I'm not writing anything off. I just 806 00:43:19,640 --> 00:43:22,200 Speaker 8: sit there and say this. Cuomo needed to do one 807 00:43:22,320 --> 00:43:25,680 Speaker 8: major thing give Republicans a reason to vote for him, 808 00:43:25,920 --> 00:43:29,400 Speaker 8: and he never did. And that is Cuomo's biggest mistake 809 00:43:29,440 --> 00:43:31,600 Speaker 8: in this general election. In the primary, he didn't do 810 00:43:31,640 --> 00:43:34,640 Speaker 8: anything right. But in the general he needed the hundreds 811 00:43:34,680 --> 00:43:36,960 Speaker 8: of thousands of Trump voters in the City of New 812 00:43:37,080 --> 00:43:40,160 Speaker 8: York who could sit there in football election to say say, 813 00:43:40,400 --> 00:43:41,960 Speaker 8: I'm going to vote for Cuomo because he's going to 814 00:43:42,000 --> 00:43:43,880 Speaker 8: do X, Y and Z. He's going to support the 815 00:43:43,920 --> 00:43:47,200 Speaker 8: problem solver, the common Sense Caucus, which is Republicans and 816 00:43:47,239 --> 00:43:49,480 Speaker 8: Democrats in the City Council.

I'm 822 00:44:04,239 --> 00:44:06,800 Speaker 1: shocked at how in ft he has been Ryan honestly, 823 00:44:06,920 --> 00:44:09,480 Speaker 1: like for a guy who was the governor. It's it's 824 00:44:09,600 --> 00:44:11,959 Speaker 1: like he and you know, he's like the uh, who's 825 00:44:12,000 --> 00:44:14,320 Speaker 1: the who's the little blonde haired sort of an idiot 826 00:44:14,400 --> 00:44:18,680 Speaker 1: king in the beginning of Jeffrey Thrones Jeoffrey. He's like 827 00:44:18,320 --> 00:44:20,920 Speaker 1: a like a little Italian version of Jeffrey. 828 00:44:21,080 --> 00:44:26,480 Speaker 2: Also, by the way, but also mom, Donnie has so 829 00:44:26,640 --> 00:44:30,120 Speaker 2: many vulnerabilities, Like it's not as if he's got a 830 00:44:30,920 --> 00:44:34,360 Speaker 2: you know, like coat of armor on uh. To bucks point, 831 00:44:34,560 --> 00:44:37,200 Speaker 2: it just feels like a super incompetent campaign. 832 00:44:37,680 --> 00:44:40,440 Speaker 8: It's super incompetent. And you know, I had a dinner 833 00:44:40,440 --> 00:44:42,000 Speaker 8: with one of I never said the same. I had 834 00:44:42,000 --> 00:44:44,600 Speaker 8: a dinner with one of Clomo's advisors and we're sitting 835 00:44:44,680 --> 00:44:46,320 Speaker 8: there and you know, I run the seventeen seventies of 836 00:44:46,360 --> 00:44:48,360 Speaker 8: Project Pack and we're doing well, we have got some money, 837 00:44:48,680 --> 00:44:51,680 Speaker 8: and he said, would your pack donate one hundred grand 838 00:44:51,719 --> 00:44:54,120 Speaker 8: to the Cuomo campaign. I go, you're known to have 839 00:44:54,200 --> 00:44:57,400 Speaker 8: a money problem. You have a candidate problem. All the 840 00:44:57,440 --> 00:44:59,640 Speaker 8: money in the world's not going to fix that. I 841 00:44:59,719 --> 00:45:02,440 Speaker 8: give Republicans a reason to vote for you, and they 842 00:45:02,840 --> 00:45:04,799 Speaker 8: just wouldn't. And you know, I looked at his entire 843 00:45:04,840 --> 00:45:08,040 Speaker 8: electoral history. He never had a competitive primary one time 844 00:45:08,080 --> 00:45:10,040 Speaker 8: in his entire life. He never had a competitive general 845 00:45:10,120 --> 00:45:12,760 Speaker 8: one time his entire life. And I think that that's 846 00:45:12,760 --> 00:45:14,040 Speaker 8: probably speaks it's amazing. 847 00:45:14,120 --> 00:45:16,640 Speaker 1: He's just not a good He's just not a good politician, 848 00:45:16,719 --> 00:45:18,719 Speaker 1: is actually what has been exposed in all this meaning 849 00:45:18,880 --> 00:45:22,000 Speaker 1: he's not even good at pretending to be good at things. 850 00:45:22,400 --> 00:45:26,480 Speaker 1: So that's that's disconcerted.

Go vote, go vote. 887 00:47:09,719 --> 00:47:13,000 Speaker 1: I voted for my Miami Beach mayor here and and 888 00:47:13,160 --> 00:47:18,160 Speaker 1: commissioners play voted for uh Franklin aldermistle or the aldermen 889 00:47:18,280 --> 00:47:21,680 Speaker 1: or I'm not even sure exactly what the alderman does, 890 00:47:21,760 --> 00:47:24,840 Speaker 1: but I went and voted. Uh yeah, you got to 891 00:47:24,840 --> 00:47:26,680 Speaker 1: make sure you got the right alderman or else all 892 00:47:26,680 --> 00:47:29,399 Speaker 1: hell's going to break loose, and you know, you might 893 00:47:29,440 --> 00:47:32,960 Speaker 1: have some I don't even know what going on in 894 00:47:32,960 --> 00:47:36,400 Speaker 1: in the town of Franklin. You know, you could have people, 895 00:47:36,560 --> 00:47:39,120 Speaker 1: You could have people where I live a little bit, 896 00:47:39,120 --> 00:47:40,799 Speaker 1: as you say, you could have people thinking they can 897 00:47:40,920 --> 00:47:43,919 Speaker 1: just drive the golf cart all the way into town, 898 00:47:44,080 --> 00:47:47,279 Speaker 1: like what's going on? You know, civilization, friends, we can't 899 00:47:47,280 --> 00:47:50,840 Speaker 1: just let these things happen. So, yeah, we are going 900 00:47:50,920 --> 00:47:53,000 Speaker 1: to follow this. UF also talk a little bit about 901 00:47:53,040 --> 00:47:57,040 Speaker 1: California where Gavin newsom so much of this is it's interesting, 902 00:47:57,080 --> 00:48:00,560 Speaker 1: It's just it's just tapping into Democrat frustration. I think 903 00:48:00,600 --> 00:48:04,320 Speaker 1: that's true in all of these races. It's certainly true Virginia, 904 00:48:04,400 --> 00:48:09,120 Speaker 1: New York, in California and New Jersey where Democrats feel 905 00:48:09,160 --> 00:48:12,719 Speaker 1: like their party has been because it has been outplayed 906 00:48:12,800 --> 00:48:17,440 Speaker 1: by Trump and the Republicans. They're losing and losing and 907 00:48:17,480 --> 00:48:21,719 Speaker 1: losing again this year in their opposition to Trump and 908 00:48:21,760 --> 00:48:24,520 Speaker 1: their opposition to his agenda. So this is just an 909 00:48:24,560 --> 00:48:29,240 Speaker 1: opportunity to vent their spleen a bit with a vote 910 00:48:29,280 --> 00:48:33,279 Speaker 1: against whatever the Republican option is. I don't think it 911 00:48:33,320 --> 00:48:35,120 Speaker 1: really even gets in for most people. I don't think 912 00:48:35,160 --> 00:48:37,839 Speaker 1: it real even gets into what they think is going 913 00:48:37,880 --> 00:48:41,600 Speaker 1: to happen here because cost of living is such a 914 00:48:41,600 --> 00:48:45,440 Speaker 1: big thing in New York, in California and Virginia too, 915 00:48:45,520 --> 00:48:49,120 Speaker 1: especially if you get closer to DC, and Democrats will 916 00:48:49,120 --> 00:48:52,400 Speaker 1: make it worse. Guaranteed they will make it worse because 917 00:48:52,480 --> 00:48:55,560 Speaker 1: even what they do to make it seem like it 918 00:48:55,640 --> 00:48:58,360 Speaker 1: might improve in the short term is to just squeeze 919 00:48:58,360 --> 00:49:01,560 Speaker 1: the balloon at one side, right, distribute the wealth to 920 00:49:01,640 --> 00:49:04,440 Speaker 1: find some way to subsist. And we see this with 921 00:49:04,560 --> 00:49:08,760 Speaker 1: Obamacare which I still wish people would pay more attention 922 00:49:08,800 --> 00:49:10,879 Speaker 1: to this play. We're still in a shutdown everybody, which 923 00:49:10,920 --> 00:49:13,800 Speaker 1: is gonna end after the election. All ties in the 924 00:49:13,960 --> 00:49:18,640 Speaker 1: might add right Democrats government shut down, getting people frustrated, 925 00:49:18,920 --> 00:49:23,040 Speaker 1: making people think, oh, the Democrats are standing up, they're fighting. Well, 926 00:49:23,080 --> 00:49:25,160 Speaker 1: what are they fighting for? Exactly? Like, how are they 927 00:49:25,200 --> 00:49:26,160 Speaker 1: making anyone's life better? 928 00:49:26,200 --> 00:49:26,399 Speaker 3: Ah? 929 00:49:26,480 --> 00:49:31,360 Speaker 1: Forget about that. They're fighting. Its emotional manipulation in place 930 00:49:31,360 --> 00:49:34,480 Speaker 1: of an argument. It's very effective, unfortunately in mass psychology 931 00:49:34,480 --> 00:49:40,760 Speaker 1: and mass politics. But the Democrat offerings on all this stuff, 932 00:49:40,960 --> 00:49:45,520 Speaker 1: like Obamacare specifically, is to ignore market reality and to 933 00:49:45,560 --> 00:49:47,600 Speaker 1: make promises that they can't keep. And you're gonna see 934 00:49:47,600 --> 00:49:51,160 Speaker 1: a lot more of that. Gavin Newsome. Meanwhile, I didn't 935 00:49:51,160 --> 00:49:52,680 Speaker 1: get to yesterday, Clay. I meant, this is a little 936 00:49:52,680 --> 00:49:55,120 Speaker 1: bit of a pickup because I'm about talk about public safety. 937 00:49:55,840 --> 00:49:58,279 Speaker 1: We talked about DC in the crime situation there and 938 00:49:58,320 --> 00:50:02,040 Speaker 1: how who was it? It was. Nora O'Donnell was like, well, 939 00:50:02,320 --> 00:50:03,839 Speaker 1: I just go to work and I don't know if 940 00:50:03,840 --> 00:50:05,560 Speaker 1: it's safe on the streets because she doesn't want to 941 00:50:05,600 --> 00:50:09,520 Speaker 1: admit it on camera that Trump is right the murder rate. 942 00:50:09,600 --> 00:50:13,279 Speaker 1: Since Trump has tried to do. His security plan in 943 00:50:13,360 --> 00:50:17,640 Speaker 1: DC is down sixty percent okay, six zero percent, dropping 944 00:50:17,719 --> 00:50:22,080 Speaker 1: the murder rate, and all crime is down substantially almost 945 00:50:22,120 --> 00:50:24,200 Speaker 1: thirty percent I think in DC year to date, with 946 00:50:24,239 --> 00:50:26,799 Speaker 1: a big chunk of that coming since Trump. So it 947 00:50:26,880 --> 00:50:29,040 Speaker 1: is working. It's not perfect, but it's working. No one 948 00:50:29,040 --> 00:50:30,759 Speaker 1: thought it would be perfect, meaning that there'd be no 949 00:50:30,840 --> 00:50:35,680 Speaker 1: murders or no crime, but it's substantially improving the situation. Meanwhile, 950 00:50:35,680 --> 00:50:38,120 Speaker 1: you know what Gavin Newsom's worried about, not whether people 951 00:50:38,160 --> 00:50:39,719 Speaker 1: feel safe on the streets or they're going to be 952 00:50:39,719 --> 00:50:43,840 Speaker 1: harassed by some maniac, but of course immigration play nineteen. 953 00:50:45,320 --> 00:50:48,400 Speaker 9: People are on edge, communities of color on edge. I 954 00:50:48,480 --> 00:50:51,000 Speaker 9: mean folks scared to death to go out trick or 955 00:50:51,000 --> 00:50:53,480 Speaker 9: treaty the other night, Scared to walk their dogs, go 956 00:50:53,480 --> 00:50:56,040 Speaker 9: to a playground, go to a park, go to a 957 00:50:56,080 --> 00:50:59,360 Speaker 9: loved one's funeral, because they might be disappeared on the 958 00:50:59,400 --> 00:51:02,160 Speaker 9: basis of what they look like, where they congregate, the 959 00:51:02,280 --> 00:51:05,280 Speaker 9: language they speak. In the United States of America today, 960 00:51:05,880 --> 00:51:09,280 Speaker 9: you've heard notion of a private police force that appears 961 00:51:09,320 --> 00:51:11,160 Speaker 9: to have taken oath office to the President of the 962 00:51:11,200 --> 00:51:15,120 Speaker 9: United States, not to the United States Constitution. 963 00:51:15,719 --> 00:51:21,200 Speaker 1: All just just hyperbolic, fear mongering blather. Are they illegals? 964 00:51:21,800 --> 00:51:25,080 Speaker 1: And also this notion they're being disappeared. They're not being disappeared. 965 00:51:25,080 --> 00:51:30,520 Speaker 1: They're being detained, processed, and returned to their country three 966 00:51:30,640 --> 00:51:34,680 Speaker 1: flight back to where they actually should be. I think 967 00:51:34,719 --> 00:51:37,560 Speaker 1: we just have to prepare for this. I would. I 968 00:51:37,680 --> 00:51:39,319 Speaker 1: know it's still a. 969 00:51:39,320 --> 00:51:41,200 Speaker 2: Year away from the mid terms, and I know we're 970 00:51:41,200 --> 00:51:44,680 Speaker 2: not going to start the twenty twenty eight presidential cycle 971 00:51:44,800 --> 00:51:45,719 Speaker 2: until January. 972 00:51:45,880 --> 00:51:48,200 Speaker 1: It's going to be Newsome. It's going to be Newsome. 973 00:51:48,600 --> 00:51:51,759 Speaker 2: It's going to be Newsome, and he's gonna lie blatantly 974 00:51:52,000 --> 00:51:55,359 Speaker 2: like this. Do we still have Gavin Newsom? I don't 975 00:51:55,360 --> 00:51:58,600 Speaker 2: think we played it yesterday, but we play Newsom saying 976 00:51:58,960 --> 00:52:00,960 Speaker 2: the one let's make you can grab that. I think 977 00:52:00,960 --> 00:52:03,839 Speaker 2: we had it yesterday, but when Newsom said, it went megaviral. 978 00:52:04,239 --> 00:52:06,480 Speaker 1: I hate when politicians. 979 00:52:05,800 --> 00:52:08,880 Speaker 2: Lie, you know, and he's like moving his hands and 980 00:52:08,920 --> 00:52:16,560 Speaker 2: moving his face awkwardly, and it's just so diabolically sinister, 981 00:52:17,200 --> 00:52:20,360 Speaker 2: because I don't know that anybody lies more than Newsome. 982 00:52:20,520 --> 00:52:24,440 Speaker 2: And by the way, there's a difference between getting a 983 00:52:24,480 --> 00:52:30,200 Speaker 2: factor too wrong in sort of hyperbole and blatantly lying, 984 00:52:31,560 --> 00:52:35,600 Speaker 2: and Gavin Newsom is just such a blatant liar. And 985 00:52:36,000 --> 00:52:38,480 Speaker 2: the reality is, I think you have to have a 986 00:52:38,480 --> 00:52:43,000 Speaker 2: blatant liar on the ticket because Democrats are wrong about everything. 987 00:52:43,800 --> 00:52:46,879 Speaker 2: I mean, they really are by and large. It used 988 00:52:46,920 --> 00:52:49,759 Speaker 2: to be you could be a reasonable person and you 989 00:52:49,800 --> 00:52:52,080 Speaker 2: could look at the two parties and you could say, hey, 990 00:52:52,120 --> 00:52:55,319 Speaker 2: you know what, I disagree with my party on this 991 00:52:55,520 --> 00:52:58,600 Speaker 2: perspective or this issue, even though I might vote the 992 00:52:58,600 --> 00:53:02,839 Speaker 2: other way. I can't even think of what Democrats are. 993 00:53:03,040 --> 00:53:05,400 Speaker 2: It used to be Democrats would say, hey, we know healthcare. 994 00:53:05,640 --> 00:53:07,960 Speaker 2: They're destroying everything having. 995 00:53:07,760 --> 00:53:10,719 Speaker 1: To do with insurance. Nobody can't even afford healthcare anymore. 996 00:53:11,040 --> 00:53:14,040 Speaker 1: If you are looking for something that Republicans and this 997 00:53:14,120 --> 00:53:16,239 Speaker 1: could have tie in to another news item that Republicans 998 00:53:16,320 --> 00:53:19,680 Speaker 1: I think look back on and say, Okay, we actually 999 00:53:19,719 --> 00:53:23,080 Speaker 1: got that one wrong. I think it's the Iraq War 1000 00:53:24,400 --> 00:53:28,000 Speaker 1: as a party, which Trump among others have said that 1001 00:53:28,080 --> 00:53:30,080 Speaker 1: was the we were on the wrong side. We weren't 1002 00:53:30,080 --> 00:53:32,120 Speaker 1: on the wrong side of Afghanistan a post nine eleven, 1003 00:53:32,120 --> 00:53:33,840 Speaker 1: but the Iraq War thing. But the thing about the 1004 00:53:33,880 --> 00:53:38,239 Speaker 1: Republicans there is Democrat establishment went along with it too. Yeah, right, 1005 00:53:38,320 --> 00:53:40,759 Speaker 1: the Hillary Clinton all that, you know, the Schumer, all 1006 00:53:40,800 --> 00:53:43,680 Speaker 1: the Democrats were in favor of it as well, but 1007 00:53:43,840 --> 00:53:46,319 Speaker 1: it was the charge was led by a Republican administration, 1008 00:53:46,400 --> 00:53:48,360 Speaker 1: to be fair, and that included Dick Cheney, who just 1009 00:53:48,400 --> 00:53:52,440 Speaker 1: passed away. And we haven't mentioned this, but Dick Cheney 1010 00:53:52,480 --> 00:53:55,239 Speaker 1: just five what is the eighty four? I think he 1011 00:53:55,400 --> 00:53:58,759 Speaker 1: just died in early this morning, early morning, Yeah, the 1012 00:53:58,840 --> 00:54:03,080 Speaker 1: last twenty four hours he passed away. I remember meeting 1013 00:54:03,080 --> 00:54:04,960 Speaker 1: the Vice President on several occasions when he was the 1014 00:54:05,040 --> 00:54:08,160 Speaker 1: Vice President in the Oval Office, and I will tell you, Clay, 1015 00:54:08,320 --> 00:54:11,640 Speaker 1: it was we had multiple wars going on. A very 1016 00:54:11,680 --> 00:54:15,880 Speaker 1: different Oval Office experience as a young CIA analyst briefing 1017 00:54:15,960 --> 00:54:19,680 Speaker 1: then Vice President Cheney than what we got when Clay 1018 00:54:19,719 --> 00:54:21,799 Speaker 1: and Bucks show up to hang out with Trump in 1019 00:54:21,880 --> 00:54:24,440 Speaker 1: the Oval. I mean just night. And it didn't even 1020 00:54:24,480 --> 00:54:27,960 Speaker 1: feel like the same movie set, the same universe. It's 1021 00:54:27,960 --> 00:54:31,880 Speaker 1: just a totally different feeling. There was an intensity and 1022 00:54:31,920 --> 00:54:34,360 Speaker 1: a solemnity under those Bush years because of nine to 1023 00:54:34,360 --> 00:54:36,560 Speaker 1: eleven and everything else. And you walked in there and 1024 00:54:36,600 --> 00:54:38,719 Speaker 1: you made sure your jacket and tye were crisp, and 1025 00:54:38,760 --> 00:54:41,040 Speaker 1: it was yes, mister President, nos President, you know we 1026 00:54:41,080 --> 00:54:42,840 Speaker 1: went in there and saw Trump. But he's like, we 1027 00:54:42,960 --> 00:54:45,000 Speaker 1: got the owner of the Saints, come on in here, 1028 00:54:45,000 --> 00:54:46,520 Speaker 1: we got JD, we got you know. 1029 00:54:46,840 --> 00:54:49,040 Speaker 2: It was it was like, we will check out the 1030 00:54:49,080 --> 00:54:51,400 Speaker 2: new guilt that I put in the you know, cabinet 1031 00:54:51,640 --> 00:54:52,640 Speaker 2: was showing us cool stuff. 1032 00:54:52,640 --> 00:54:54,760 Speaker 1: He's like, isn't a beautiful look at this painting? Redid 1033 00:54:54,760 --> 00:54:57,760 Speaker 1: this painting? Beautiful painting. It was just a very different feeling. 1034 00:54:58,320 --> 00:55:01,359 Speaker 1: But Yeah, Dick Cheney passed away. He became very controversial, 1035 00:55:01,360 --> 00:55:03,759 Speaker 1: I think more controversial actually in some ways after he 1036 00:55:03,840 --> 00:55:08,440 Speaker 1: left office, with the legacy of the Iraq War. And also, 1037 00:55:08,880 --> 00:55:13,560 Speaker 1: to be fair, he and his daughter refuse endorsing Kamala 1038 00:55:14,320 --> 00:55:16,879 Speaker 1: over Trump in the twenty twenty. I knew his daughter did. 1039 00:55:16,920 --> 00:55:19,200 Speaker 1: I actually forgot that he did until you just mentioned 1040 00:55:19,239 --> 00:55:22,160 Speaker 1: that to me now, which is insane. Yeah, that's that's 1041 00:55:22,200 --> 00:55:28,080 Speaker 1: personal bitterness overriding political. Look, I think he just passed away. 1042 00:55:28,120 --> 00:55:29,560 Speaker 1: And I know we're not supposed to speak ill of 1043 00:55:29,560 --> 00:55:30,920 Speaker 1: the dead. I'm not going to. I'm not trying to 1044 00:55:30,920 --> 00:55:33,719 Speaker 1: speak ill of someone who just passed away. I think 1045 00:55:33,719 --> 00:55:36,000 Speaker 1: Dick Cheney was a patriot. I think he loved his country, 1046 00:55:36,040 --> 00:55:37,759 Speaker 1: and I think he did what he thought was best 1047 00:55:37,760 --> 00:55:39,640 Speaker 1: for the country. And I think a lot of this 1048 00:55:39,719 --> 00:55:43,200 Speaker 1: stuff that was used to attack him about how it 1049 00:55:43,239 --> 00:55:45,759 Speaker 1: was like he was enriching him that actually wasn't And 1050 00:55:46,160 --> 00:55:47,759 Speaker 1: even the unitary. 1051 00:55:47,320 --> 00:55:50,160 Speaker 2: Chief Executive attacks on Dick Cheney, I mean, those are 1052 00:55:50,400 --> 00:55:52,799 Speaker 2: he believed that the president had the authority to make 1053 00:55:52,840 --> 00:55:53,840 Speaker 2: important decisions. 1054 00:55:54,160 --> 00:55:56,440 Speaker 1: I was in the Oval office, and I could tell 1055 00:55:56,440 --> 00:55:58,840 Speaker 1: you that the vice press watching them make decisions and 1056 00:55:58,880 --> 00:56:02,879 Speaker 1: discuss at various points, and the vice president was deferential 1057 00:56:02,920 --> 00:56:05,680 Speaker 1: to George W. Bush as president, this notion that he 1058 00:56:05,880 --> 00:56:09,960 Speaker 1: was the puppet master and buch Bush the media this 1059 00:56:10,120 --> 00:56:11,719 Speaker 1: because they could get away with this class I'm not 1060 00:56:11,719 --> 00:56:13,400 Speaker 1: trying to get diverted. And now we got election day here, 1061 00:56:13,440 --> 00:56:17,240 Speaker 1: but I think the media lied to people so much 1062 00:56:17,400 --> 00:56:21,479 Speaker 1: about George W. Bush that they have this complete They weren't, 1063 00:56:21,680 --> 00:56:23,600 Speaker 1: you know, because of Trump and the way he did 1064 00:56:23,600 --> 00:56:26,880 Speaker 1: things by going right to them and bypassing the media. 1065 00:56:27,040 --> 00:56:29,680 Speaker 1: People's conception of who George W. Bush is a lot 1066 00:56:29,719 --> 00:56:33,360 Speaker 1: of just every day America is a complete caricature. The 1067 00:56:33,440 --> 00:56:37,160 Speaker 1: guy was not dumb, the guy was not shy about 1068 00:56:37,239 --> 00:56:41,840 Speaker 1: leadership and making decisions, and was actually very on. He 1069 00:56:42,000 --> 00:56:45,040 Speaker 1: wasn't a scholar of Middle Eastern history. You know, but 1070 00:56:45,200 --> 00:56:48,080 Speaker 1: guess what neither is Kamala or Biden or any of them. Right, 1071 00:56:48,520 --> 00:56:50,960 Speaker 1: But the notion that he was some sort of buffoon 1072 00:56:51,040 --> 00:56:54,359 Speaker 1: and was bumbling in an idiot is absurd, not true 1073 00:56:54,400 --> 00:56:54,680 Speaker 1: at all. 1074 00:56:54,760 --> 00:56:58,319 Speaker 2: And not only that, I mean, it's it's funny. They 1075 00:56:58,360 --> 00:57:01,600 Speaker 2: remember early in Trump two point zero, it didn't work 1076 00:57:01,719 --> 00:57:04,759 Speaker 2: because it's Trump. You can't call somebody a dictator and 1077 00:57:04,760 --> 00:57:07,560 Speaker 2: then be like they tried to say that Trump wasn't president. 1078 00:57:07,600 --> 00:57:10,839 Speaker 2: Remember they tried to say president elon. They tried to 1079 00:57:11,000 --> 00:57:14,440 Speaker 2: demean the person in the chief executive office, the president 1080 00:57:14,440 --> 00:57:17,120 Speaker 2: of the United States. And so the argument when Bush 1081 00:57:17,280 --> 00:57:21,040 Speaker 2: was there was o' cheney's the actual president. They tried 1082 00:57:21,080 --> 00:57:24,040 Speaker 2: to argue, Oh, Trump's there, Elon's the president. 1083 00:57:24,360 --> 00:57:24,960 Speaker 1: You ever hear. 1084 00:57:24,840 --> 00:57:29,320 Speaker 2: Anybody argue that Obama wasn't the president when Obama was 1085 00:57:29,360 --> 00:57:32,000 Speaker 2: in office. You ever hear anybody argue Clinton wasn't the 1086 00:57:32,000 --> 00:57:35,120 Speaker 2: president when Clinton was in office, whatever you thought of 1087 00:57:35,160 --> 00:57:39,360 Speaker 2: their vice president. Now, to be fair, during Biden, people 1088 00:57:39,480 --> 00:57:43,360 Speaker 2: may have accurately said it's actually Obama who's still president. 1089 00:57:43,480 --> 00:57:45,520 Speaker 2: To be fair, during Clinton, there may have been moments 1090 00:57:45,520 --> 00:57:51,040 Speaker 2: where he was busy otherwise occupied, not really indisposed of 1091 00:57:51,080 --> 00:57:51,600 Speaker 2: the country. 1092 00:57:51,760 --> 00:57:55,280 Speaker 1: Indisposed would be one thing you could say about Phil Clinton. 1093 00:57:56,120 --> 00:57:59,840 Speaker 1: But I think so chan Cheney passed away. The guy. 1094 00:58:00,280 --> 00:58:02,560 Speaker 1: He did have a remarkable career, and I do think 1095 00:58:02,840 --> 00:58:04,520 Speaker 1: I think the best thing that can be said for him, 1096 00:58:04,600 --> 00:58:06,560 Speaker 1: or the things that can be said for m is 1097 00:58:06,560 --> 00:58:09,440 Speaker 1: he loved his country and he tried, but he was 1098 00:58:09,480 --> 00:58:12,080 Speaker 1: wrong on some big stuff, and unfortunately he got particularly 1099 00:58:12,120 --> 00:58:14,640 Speaker 1: wrong toward the end about about Trump and the and 1100 00:58:14,680 --> 00:58:17,640 Speaker 1: the you know, the the trajectory of the contry, I think, 1101 00:58:17,760 --> 00:58:19,840 Speaker 1: and I think it was personal because of the repudiation 1102 00:58:19,920 --> 00:58:23,240 Speaker 1: of bush Cheney by Trump. I think that's exactly right. 1103 00:58:23,440 --> 00:58:25,480 Speaker 1: He was. People are gonna get mad at me there 1104 00:58:25,480 --> 00:58:27,120 Speaker 1: because he's a warmonger. I'm trying to think I just died. 1105 00:58:27,120 --> 00:58:29,120 Speaker 1: I'm trying to be charitably. He served his country for many, 1106 00:58:29,160 --> 00:58:32,160 Speaker 1: many years, and I think he loved America. He was 1107 00:58:32,160 --> 00:58:34,200 Speaker 1: willing to go to the mat against the Jihatis, I 1108 00:58:34,240 --> 00:58:35,960 Speaker 1: will tell you that, and we needed people that were 1109 00:58:36,040 --> 00:58:36,800 Speaker 1: going to go to the mat. 1110 00:58:37,040 --> 00:58:40,240 Speaker 2: You can love your country and make awful decisions. Correct, 1111 00:58:40,280 --> 00:58:41,760 Speaker 2: those aren't opposite things. 1112 00:58:42,000 --> 00:58:44,480 Speaker 1: And I think that the people always throw Nevill Chamberlain 1113 00:58:44,560 --> 00:58:47,680 Speaker 1: under the bus. Yeah, was he wrong about how things 1114 00:58:47,680 --> 00:58:50,080 Speaker 1: will go with the Nazis, Sure, but people forget that 1115 00:58:50,120 --> 00:58:53,840 Speaker 1: World War One had just destroyed an entire generation of Europe, 1116 00:58:53,840 --> 00:58:58,080 Speaker 1: including Englishmen and people from the United Kingdom, and he 1117 00:58:58,160 --> 00:58:59,960 Speaker 1: was hoping we wouldn't have to do that again. Right. 1118 00:59:00,200 --> 00:59:04,120 Speaker 1: He may have had the wrong remedy, but he didn't 1119 00:59:04,160 --> 00:59:07,840 Speaker 1: want to go to war. I mean, this reasonable thing. 1120 00:59:07,680 --> 00:59:10,959 Speaker 2: To do, and to be fair, I read the oral 1121 00:59:11,040 --> 00:59:13,240 Speaker 2: history recently, in the last year or so of nine 1122 00:59:13,240 --> 00:59:18,360 Speaker 2: to eleven because I wanted to re experience that. Remember, 1123 00:59:18,920 --> 00:59:20,840 Speaker 2: they thought the White House was going to get hit 1124 00:59:21,280 --> 00:59:25,160 Speaker 2: and Cheney was underground monitoring nine to eleven while Bush 1125 00:59:25,360 --> 00:59:28,240 Speaker 2: was up in Air Force one and nobody could get 1126 00:59:28,240 --> 00:59:28,880 Speaker 2: in touch. 1127 00:59:28,680 --> 00:59:31,160 Speaker 1: With him because they were trying to keep him safe. 1128 00:59:31,360 --> 00:59:33,720 Speaker 1: People forget this because they always think now of ksm 1129 00:59:33,800 --> 00:59:37,720 Speaker 1: Khaleiche Sheik Mohammad in is like you know, pulled t 1130 00:59:37,880 --> 00:59:39,920 Speaker 1: shirt and getting arrested and all this stuff. They were 1131 00:59:39,920 --> 00:59:43,400 Speaker 1: planning multiple nine elevens, and that's real, That is fact. 1132 00:59:43,440 --> 00:59:44,880 Speaker 1: They were going to keep coming at us with all 1133 00:59:45,000 --> 00:59:48,160 Speaker 1: kinds of stuff. The War on Terror was absolutely necessary, 1134 00:59:48,200 --> 00:59:49,720 Speaker 1: and those of you who thought it should always remember 1135 00:59:49,760 --> 00:59:52,880 Speaker 1: that and always feel honored in your service for the 1136 00:59:52,920 --> 00:59:55,320 Speaker 1: fact that they were coming for us. It wasn't just 1137 00:59:55,400 --> 00:59:58,640 Speaker 1: nine to eleven. There was more after that, And yeah, 1138 00:59:58,680 --> 01:00:00,600 Speaker 1: it was the fight against the It was a perfect, 1139 01:00:00,600 --> 01:00:02,720 Speaker 1: no war. The fight is never going to be perfect, 1140 01:00:02,760 --> 01:00:05,760 Speaker 1: but it was a necessary one. It was Iraq that 1141 01:00:05,880 --> 01:00:07,600 Speaker 1: was the expansion of it that I think was a 1142 01:00:07,640 --> 01:00:11,720 Speaker 1: strategic miscalculation. But I don't think the people that said, 1143 01:00:11,760 --> 01:00:13,760 Speaker 1: I mean, I got hit with this. Even a while back, 1144 01:00:13,840 --> 01:00:15,760 Speaker 1: was on a podcast, people said, oh, it was also 1145 01:00:15,840 --> 01:00:18,720 Speaker 1: Cheney could make money through Haliburton. That's actually not that's 1146 01:00:18,720 --> 01:00:21,280 Speaker 1: actually not true. Yeah, you can say that he was 1147 01:00:21,320 --> 01:00:23,280 Speaker 1: a warmonger and he made the wrong decision and it 1148 01:00:23,320 --> 01:00:25,840 Speaker 1: was terrible, but he actually didn't do this to make 1149 01:00:25,880 --> 01:00:28,440 Speaker 1: money through Haliburton for himself. And I just I like 1150 01:00:28,520 --> 01:00:31,280 Speaker 1: the criticisms to be rooted in reality. 1151 01:00:32,000 --> 01:00:34,120 Speaker 2: One thing that stood out to me is I reread 1152 01:00:34,280 --> 01:00:36,600 Speaker 2: to experience the history of nine to eleven. That is 1153 01:00:36,880 --> 01:00:39,360 Speaker 2: really kind of crazy to think about. Is there was 1154 01:00:39,400 --> 01:00:42,640 Speaker 2: almost no communication to the president because Air Force One 1155 01:00:42,920 --> 01:00:47,480 Speaker 2: wasn't able to get telephone signals. They weren't able. Obviously, 1156 01:00:47,520 --> 01:00:51,000 Speaker 2: the internet was not in place. They've got spotty every 1157 01:00:51,040 --> 01:00:54,800 Speaker 2: now and then television. So Cheney had to manage much 1158 01:00:54,840 --> 01:00:58,880 Speaker 2: of nine to eleven because the president, they were afraid 1159 01:00:58,960 --> 01:01:01,520 Speaker 2: of where the next might be. He was just up 1160 01:01:01,520 --> 01:01:03,480 Speaker 2: in the air. They didn't have any idea. And so 1161 01:01:03,600 --> 01:01:05,080 Speaker 2: I would encourage you to go back and do some 1162 01:01:05,160 --> 01:01:06,160 Speaker 2: reading about that day. 1163 01:01:06,680 --> 01:01:11,480 Speaker 1: They could have had fifty planes hijacked, given how easy 1164 01:01:11,520 --> 01:01:13,240 Speaker 1: it was to hijack the ones that they did, they 1165 01:01:13,240 --> 01:01:17,320 Speaker 1: could have had fifty of those planes turned into essentially 1166 01:01:17,800 --> 01:01:22,840 Speaker 1: massive guided missiles with hundreds of innocents aboard. We had, 1167 01:01:23,040 --> 01:01:24,880 Speaker 1: you know, I mean, it's crazy to think about the 1168 01:01:24,880 --> 01:01:27,120 Speaker 1: worst terrorist attack ever in history, and it actually could 1169 01:01:27,160 --> 01:01:30,120 Speaker 1: have been a lot worse. Yes, yes, and it would, 1170 01:01:30,200 --> 01:01:32,560 Speaker 1: by the way, it would have been worse if not 1171 01:01:33,360 --> 01:01:37,080 Speaker 1: for those those brave souls. 1172 01:01:36,800 --> 01:01:41,400 Speaker 2: Fill Pennsylvania on United. That's exactly right. Let's roll. If 1173 01:01:41,400 --> 01:01:44,400 Speaker 2: that beamer I believe was a top Memen I think 1174 01:01:44,680 --> 01:01:45,200 Speaker 2: or is a beaman? 1175 01:01:45,360 --> 01:01:48,400 Speaker 1: Beam may be right. If it's not, it's not for him. 1176 01:01:48,600 --> 01:01:52,240 Speaker 1: And saying let's roll that plane ends up, we have 1177 01:01:52,280 --> 01:01:55,920 Speaker 1: a smoldering United States Capital or White House. Everybody, that's 1178 01:01:55,920 --> 01:01:56,720 Speaker 1: how close you were? 1179 01:01:57,240 --> 01:02:00,280 Speaker 2: United Flight ninety three. I think to if I'm getting 1180 01:02:00,320 --> 01:02:00,920 Speaker 2: remembering that. 1181 01:02:01,160 --> 01:02:03,880 Speaker 1: But to be you know, to be fair to Cheney's memory, 1182 01:02:04,600 --> 01:02:08,280 Speaker 1: we needed a wartime consolieri, so to speak. After nine 1183 01:02:08,320 --> 01:02:11,320 Speaker 1: to eleven. I'm not saying that everything was good or right, 1184 01:02:11,440 --> 01:02:13,680 Speaker 1: but I mean the guy, the guy did step up, 1185 01:02:13,760 --> 01:02:15,919 Speaker 1: and a lot of bad guys needed to be taken 1186 01:02:15,920 --> 01:02:19,040 Speaker 1: off the battlefield. All right.
