1 00:00:00,280 --> 00:00:02,920 Speaker 1: Welcome back in second hour play and Buck kicks off 2 00:00:03,040 --> 00:00:06,000 Speaker 1: right now. We've got Senate day here on Clay in Buck, 3 00:00:06,040 --> 00:00:12,280 Speaker 1: Senators Cotton, Rubio, Scott, Rick Scott with us, and we've 4 00:00:12,280 --> 00:00:14,360 Speaker 1: got our two Florida centers down here with me in 5 00:00:14,520 --> 00:00:18,000 Speaker 1: South Florida Center, Rubio Clay on the hot seat now 6 00:00:18,040 --> 00:00:20,960 Speaker 1: with a center. Ruby, appreciate you making the time for us. 7 00:00:21,480 --> 00:00:23,360 Speaker 1: Let's start with this. I want to bring it into 8 00:00:23,360 --> 00:00:25,520 Speaker 1: the Senate race and also what we're seeing here in 9 00:00:25,560 --> 00:00:29,600 Speaker 1: Florida in a moment, but at the thirty thousand foot level. 10 00:00:30,240 --> 00:00:33,680 Speaker 1: New York Times covered today inside or website at least 11 00:00:33,720 --> 00:00:37,400 Speaker 1: main story inside the last ditch hunt by Harris and 12 00:00:37,440 --> 00:00:41,120 Speaker 1: Trump for undecided voters. How do you see the final 13 00:00:41,159 --> 00:00:44,160 Speaker 1: weeks of the Harris campaign playing at And we talked 14 00:00:44,200 --> 00:00:46,280 Speaker 1: a little bit about McDonald's and Trump, and it feels 15 00:00:46,360 --> 00:00:49,000 Speaker 1: like there's a lot of enthusiasm and a lot of excitement. 16 00:00:49,280 --> 00:00:51,120 Speaker 1: What are you seeing from the Harris side of things? 17 00:00:51,320 --> 00:00:53,360 Speaker 2: Yeah, I think that they're trying to figure out their 18 00:00:53,360 --> 00:00:55,280 Speaker 2: formula to win at this point. You know, she hasn't 19 00:00:55,280 --> 00:00:57,160 Speaker 2: had the advantage. She had the advantage of this switch 20 00:00:57,200 --> 00:01:00,320 Speaker 2: out that they did last minute. Something New They got 21 00:01:00,320 --> 00:01:01,639 Speaker 2: a little bit of a bump from that in terms 22 00:01:01,680 --> 00:01:03,760 Speaker 2: of coverage. That's all settled away, and I think now 23 00:01:03,840 --> 00:01:06,039 Speaker 2: voters have become more familiar. And the fundamental question that 24 00:01:06,040 --> 00:01:08,240 Speaker 2: people have to ask themselves is, and she has not 25 00:01:08,280 --> 00:01:10,640 Speaker 2: been able to answer, is how is she any different 26 00:01:11,000 --> 00:01:13,959 Speaker 2: than Joe Biden? And in fact, she refused to distance 27 00:01:13,959 --> 00:01:16,200 Speaker 2: herself from any of the decisions he made as president. 28 00:01:16,600 --> 00:01:19,440 Speaker 2: So she is a continuation of the policies of the 29 00:01:19,440 --> 00:01:21,360 Speaker 2: guy who was going to get smashed. And I think 30 00:01:21,360 --> 00:01:23,240 Speaker 2: people have come to the realization this is not some 31 00:01:23,440 --> 00:01:25,680 Speaker 2: you know, Kamala Harris wasn't born on July twenty fourth. 32 00:01:25,720 --> 00:01:27,440 Speaker 2: I mean she had been around, She'd been the Vice 33 00:01:27,440 --> 00:01:29,680 Speaker 2: president and a senator, had a record in the Senate, 34 00:01:29,720 --> 00:01:31,679 Speaker 2: and a record is a candidate for president that she 35 00:01:31,720 --> 00:01:33,600 Speaker 2: has to answer for. And I think that's what the 36 00:01:33,680 --> 00:01:36,040 Speaker 2: last few weeks have really revealed to a lot of voters, 37 00:01:36,319 --> 00:01:38,600 Speaker 2: and it's why I think her path to victory continues 38 00:01:38,640 --> 00:01:41,080 Speaker 2: to narrow. And I want to say about these Senate races, 39 00:01:41,800 --> 00:01:43,920 Speaker 2: it really makes no sense to vote for Donald Trump 40 00:01:43,920 --> 00:01:47,040 Speaker 2: and not vote for a Republican for Senate in your state, 41 00:01:47,480 --> 00:01:50,280 Speaker 2: Because if we don't have the majority in the Senate 42 00:01:50,320 --> 00:01:52,880 Speaker 2: and he gets elected president, he won't get a single 43 00:01:52,920 --> 00:01:55,440 Speaker 2: person conframed, won't pay to put his team together, he 44 00:01:55,440 --> 00:01:57,200 Speaker 2: won't be able to do anything. They'll tie him up. 45 00:01:57,240 --> 00:01:59,680 Speaker 1: For you, you think they'll just be absolute obstruction. 46 00:02:00,480 --> 00:02:02,200 Speaker 2: He won't miss Not only that, if they have the House, 47 00:02:02,200 --> 00:02:03,400 Speaker 2: they'll try to impeach him again. 48 00:02:03,560 --> 00:02:05,760 Speaker 1: Oh definitely, maybe twice. 49 00:02:06,120 --> 00:02:09,799 Speaker 2: So that's the view of if we don't have the Senate, 50 00:02:10,240 --> 00:02:11,960 Speaker 2: he will not be able to do any of the 51 00:02:11,960 --> 00:02:13,920 Speaker 2: things he wants to do beyond what he can do 52 00:02:14,280 --> 00:02:15,280 Speaker 2: from an executive role. 53 00:02:15,560 --> 00:02:16,400 Speaker 3: They will tie him up. 54 00:02:16,400 --> 00:02:18,680 Speaker 2: They won't even let him bring people onto his cabin 55 00:02:18,760 --> 00:02:21,480 Speaker 2: or his team. So if you're going to vote for 56 00:02:21,480 --> 00:02:23,840 Speaker 2: Donald Trump, you better vote for the Republican for Senate 57 00:02:23,840 --> 00:02:26,600 Speaker 2: in your state or you're wasting your vote in anyways, 58 00:02:26,600 --> 00:02:28,760 Speaker 2: And I hope people will do both and not stay home. 59 00:02:29,400 --> 00:02:32,720 Speaker 4: Senator Rubio, you guys are down in Miami area right now. 60 00:02:33,760 --> 00:02:37,280 Speaker 4: You have seen a massive growth in Republican support. You've 61 00:02:37,320 --> 00:02:40,000 Speaker 4: lived in the South Florida area for a long time now. 62 00:02:40,040 --> 00:02:43,160 Speaker 4: A couple of questions, do you think Trump can win 63 00:02:43,680 --> 00:02:47,120 Speaker 4: Dade County, which would be a major and Senator Scott 64 00:02:47,160 --> 00:02:50,600 Speaker 4: as well. And what do you see in terms of 65 00:02:50,600 --> 00:02:53,800 Speaker 4: the momentum in South Florida on the ground, as a 66 00:02:53,800 --> 00:02:56,280 Speaker 4: guy who has lived there for quite some time. 67 00:02:56,960 --> 00:02:58,600 Speaker 3: I think it's tremendous enthusiasm. 68 00:02:58,600 --> 00:03:01,720 Speaker 2: I mean just this weekend alone, there were multiple Trump 69 00:03:01,760 --> 00:03:04,080 Speaker 2: and Scott events going on, and we see it everywhere. 70 00:03:04,120 --> 00:03:05,840 Speaker 3: And obviously he's got to turn into votes. 71 00:03:06,480 --> 00:03:08,680 Speaker 2: Like the caravans are great and I'm forming and people 72 00:03:08,720 --> 00:03:10,400 Speaker 2: driving around the trucks with the flags and all that, 73 00:03:10,440 --> 00:03:12,679 Speaker 2: but you have to go vote, and so that's important. 74 00:03:12,960 --> 00:03:14,840 Speaker 2: And it's surprising to me how many people that are. 75 00:03:15,200 --> 00:03:17,360 Speaker 2: I know, people that have had yard signs and post 76 00:03:17,440 --> 00:03:19,480 Speaker 2: on Facebook all day about the elections, and then they 77 00:03:19,480 --> 00:03:22,040 Speaker 2: forget to go vote, So that can't happen. I would 78 00:03:22,040 --> 00:03:24,720 Speaker 2: also say about Miami Dade County. Yeah, I think they 79 00:03:24,760 --> 00:03:26,840 Speaker 2: they can both win. I think they will win Miami 80 00:03:26,919 --> 00:03:29,240 Speaker 2: Dade County, but they don't even have to remember that 81 00:03:29,360 --> 00:03:31,440 Speaker 2: this is the county where Democrats used to run up 82 00:03:31,440 --> 00:03:34,920 Speaker 2: these huge margins to make them competitive statewide. If it's 83 00:03:34,960 --> 00:03:36,720 Speaker 2: even close, it's going to be, you know, a very 84 00:03:36,720 --> 00:03:39,880 Speaker 2: good night for us in Florida. But absolutely, and you know, 85 00:03:40,360 --> 00:03:42,240 Speaker 2: Senator Scott Rick Scott spends a lot of time in 86 00:03:42,280 --> 00:03:44,240 Speaker 2: South Florida, has a lot of friends, There's very strong 87 00:03:44,280 --> 00:03:46,600 Speaker 2: coalitions to support, and it's not just what he's done 88 00:03:46,640 --> 00:03:48,840 Speaker 2: in the Senate, it's what he did before as governor 89 00:03:48,840 --> 00:03:51,720 Speaker 2: that people remember. He's always present, he's always around, he's 90 00:03:51,720 --> 00:03:56,200 Speaker 2: always engaged. So I think beyond just the general election enthusiasm, 91 00:03:56,560 --> 00:03:59,040 Speaker 2: there's a sense that you know he's running and he 92 00:03:59,200 --> 00:04:01,680 Speaker 2: is somebody who's respect to the needs in South Florida. 93 00:04:01,920 --> 00:04:04,320 Speaker 2: And his opponent is a lady who was in Congress 94 00:04:04,320 --> 00:04:05,960 Speaker 2: for two years and the first thing she did when 95 00:04:05,960 --> 00:04:07,840 Speaker 2: she got there was joined the squad. Remember that when 96 00:04:07,880 --> 00:04:09,520 Speaker 2: it was cool to be Not for me, it was 97 00:04:09,520 --> 00:04:11,160 Speaker 2: never cool, but for some people it was cool to 98 00:04:11,200 --> 00:04:13,000 Speaker 2: be a part of the squad. She joined up with 99 00:04:13,040 --> 00:04:15,640 Speaker 2: these radical left wing nuts and it was one of 100 00:04:15,680 --> 00:04:17,480 Speaker 2: the first things that she did when she got there. 101 00:04:17,520 --> 00:04:19,880 Speaker 2: And that's what she was as a congresswoman. And a 102 00:04:19,960 --> 00:04:21,520 Speaker 2: year and a half later that they voted her out 103 00:04:21,520 --> 00:04:23,160 Speaker 2: of her office. They got rid of her after one 104 00:04:23,279 --> 00:04:25,080 Speaker 2: term in the House. So there it would be a 105 00:04:25,080 --> 00:04:27,440 Speaker 2: disaster to the state if she gets anywhere near the Senate. 106 00:04:27,520 --> 00:04:29,560 Speaker 2: Beyond sitting in the gallery as a spectator. 107 00:04:29,640 --> 00:04:33,440 Speaker 1: We've been astonished to hear various senators, Senator Rubio or 108 00:04:33,480 --> 00:04:37,279 Speaker 1: would be senators in some cases, who give us a 109 00:04:37,360 --> 00:04:39,920 Speaker 1: sense of what the amount of money is that it's 110 00:04:39,960 --> 00:04:42,640 Speaker 1: being put against them. Somehow, the Democrats always seem to 111 00:04:42,680 --> 00:04:44,480 Speaker 1: have deeper pockets, which is a whole other thing, or 112 00:04:44,560 --> 00:04:45,960 Speaker 1: you know, always seemed to be able to get more 113 00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:50,039 Speaker 1: money from New York City, Palo Alto, and Hollywood, and 114 00:04:50,040 --> 00:04:53,440 Speaker 1: then that just piles into their races. But hundreds of 115 00:04:53,480 --> 00:04:56,039 Speaker 1: millions of dollars in Pennsylvania, what kind of money are 116 00:04:56,080 --> 00:04:57,440 Speaker 1: they putting in Florida. 117 00:04:57,600 --> 00:05:00,240 Speaker 2: The government is the business of the left. That's what 118 00:05:00,240 --> 00:05:02,760 Speaker 2: they do. That's what they're focused on. In power in particular. 119 00:05:02,800 --> 00:05:04,920 Speaker 2: Government power is what they care about. Everything they want 120 00:05:04,920 --> 00:05:06,720 Speaker 2: to achieve in this country has to be done through 121 00:05:06,720 --> 00:05:09,720 Speaker 2: government and through the power of government, and so they 122 00:05:09,720 --> 00:05:11,640 Speaker 2: invest a lot of money and that you know, they 123 00:05:11,800 --> 00:05:14,600 Speaker 2: seem to find it. You know, every Republican candidate basically 124 00:05:14,640 --> 00:05:17,640 Speaker 2: will be outraised in this cycle, including ones that went 125 00:05:17,680 --> 00:05:20,520 Speaker 2: I was outraised in my reelection, So that's just a 126 00:05:20,520 --> 00:05:22,600 Speaker 2: give them. But we need enough money to tell that. 127 00:05:22,800 --> 00:05:24,359 Speaker 2: Out of state money by the way, oh, almost all 128 00:05:24,400 --> 00:05:26,600 Speaker 2: of it I mean the majority of it. Yeah, I 129 00:05:26,640 --> 00:05:28,240 Speaker 2: would argue some of them might be out of country 130 00:05:28,240 --> 00:05:30,320 Speaker 2: money because we don't know. You know, the Act Blued 131 00:05:30,560 --> 00:05:33,159 Speaker 2: wasn't even requiring people until very recently to put that 132 00:05:33,200 --> 00:05:35,640 Speaker 2: three letter three number code that I always forget on 133 00:05:35,680 --> 00:05:39,200 Speaker 2: the credit card. They that's what tells you where the 134 00:05:39,200 --> 00:05:41,680 Speaker 2: bank account is. They weren't even requiring that for a 135 00:05:41,680 --> 00:05:43,560 Speaker 2: long time, So we don't know those fifty dollars a 136 00:05:43,600 --> 00:05:46,360 Speaker 2: month they're coming from multiple accounts in another country. But look, 137 00:05:46,480 --> 00:05:49,160 Speaker 2: irrespective of that, the truth of the matter is they're 138 00:05:49,240 --> 00:05:51,400 Speaker 2: running ads. And we were talking about this before we 139 00:05:51,440 --> 00:05:53,920 Speaker 2: got on the air. They're running ads in these states 140 00:05:53,960 --> 00:05:55,839 Speaker 2: where you would think that some of these Senate candidates 141 00:05:55,880 --> 00:05:58,200 Speaker 2: that are running for reelection, like Shared Brown and others, 142 00:05:58,360 --> 00:06:01,040 Speaker 2: are like Donald Trump's best friends. I mean, they're bragging 143 00:06:01,080 --> 00:06:03,239 Speaker 2: about What does that tell you about what they're spending 144 00:06:03,240 --> 00:06:04,760 Speaker 2: their money. I mean, we try to get away with that, 145 00:06:04,760 --> 00:06:08,120 Speaker 2: they'd kill us. So in the particular case of the 146 00:06:08,160 --> 00:06:10,400 Speaker 2: Senate race, almost all of our money's from out of state, 147 00:06:10,440 --> 00:06:12,440 Speaker 2: and it's all a desire. They just want the one 148 00:06:12,520 --> 00:06:14,800 Speaker 2: vote to be able to put their majority leader because 149 00:06:14,800 --> 00:06:16,720 Speaker 2: they know these people become sheep. They get up there, 150 00:06:16,760 --> 00:06:18,840 Speaker 2: they will vote one hundred percent of the time with 151 00:06:18,839 --> 00:06:20,800 Speaker 2: whatever Schumer tells them to vote, and it's going to 152 00:06:20,839 --> 00:06:22,040 Speaker 2: be to obstruct Donald Trump. 153 00:06:22,640 --> 00:06:24,920 Speaker 4: I think you just said on a big point center, Rubio, 154 00:06:25,000 --> 00:06:27,320 Speaker 4: that I want to go back to cook political report 155 00:06:27,520 --> 00:06:31,800 Speaker 4: just moved Wisconsin into the toss up realm with Ohio, 156 00:06:32,240 --> 00:06:36,360 Speaker 4: with Michigan, and with Wisconsin. Those are also called big 157 00:06:36,400 --> 00:06:39,680 Speaker 4: ten states as I call them, where there are right 158 00:06:39,720 --> 00:06:43,360 Speaker 4: now Democrats in those seats, and now there are all 159 00:06:43,400 --> 00:06:46,640 Speaker 4: four of them in the toss up category, basically too 160 00:06:46,640 --> 00:06:50,080 Speaker 4: close to call. Follow you guys, follow this closely. They 161 00:06:50,120 --> 00:06:53,360 Speaker 4: now are trying the Democrat senators running in those states 162 00:06:53,680 --> 00:06:57,600 Speaker 4: are trying to align themselves with Donald Trump. They're saying, oh, 163 00:06:57,640 --> 00:07:00,320 Speaker 4: they're even putting Trump in their commercials to try to 164 00:07:00,320 --> 00:07:03,400 Speaker 4: appeal to voters, which is a very good sign for Trump, 165 00:07:03,480 --> 00:07:05,920 Speaker 4: not so much for Kamala. But you just hit on it. 166 00:07:06,200 --> 00:07:09,640 Speaker 4: If you're voting Trump, it's crazy to split ticket your 167 00:07:09,760 --> 00:07:12,800 Speaker 4: vote based on what they would do to him if 168 00:07:12,840 --> 00:07:15,520 Speaker 4: they control the Senate. I just want you to elaborate 169 00:07:15,560 --> 00:07:16,400 Speaker 4: on that a bit more. 170 00:07:16,480 --> 00:07:19,040 Speaker 2: Yeah, and generally it's not I mean, some will split ticket, 171 00:07:19,120 --> 00:07:20,800 Speaker 2: right they like Trump, but they're Democrats. 172 00:07:20,800 --> 00:07:21,640 Speaker 3: They're going to vote the other way. 173 00:07:21,640 --> 00:07:22,920 Speaker 2: I mean, you might as well not vote for Trump, 174 00:07:23,080 --> 00:07:24,840 Speaker 2: and I think you should, and then you should vote 175 00:07:24,880 --> 00:07:26,880 Speaker 2: for Senate. But the other big problem is people go 176 00:07:26,880 --> 00:07:29,000 Speaker 2: in and they vote for president and then they leave 177 00:07:29,400 --> 00:07:31,080 Speaker 2: and they don't fill out the rest of that ballot. 178 00:07:31,120 --> 00:07:32,920 Speaker 2: The next question in most states will be the US 179 00:07:32,960 --> 00:07:35,120 Speaker 2: Senate seat, and you got to be able if you're 180 00:07:35,120 --> 00:07:36,320 Speaker 2: going to do that, you got to stay there and 181 00:07:36,360 --> 00:07:37,800 Speaker 2: do that. And the member of Congress if you have 182 00:07:37,880 --> 00:07:40,000 Speaker 2: a House member up for reelection as well, because he 183 00:07:40,000 --> 00:07:41,680 Speaker 2: won't be able to do anything, he will not be 184 00:07:41,680 --> 00:07:44,200 Speaker 2: able to do anything good for the country if he 185 00:07:44,240 --> 00:07:46,640 Speaker 2: doesn't have those majorities in the House and Senate, particularly 186 00:07:46,680 --> 00:07:49,000 Speaker 2: the Senate when it comes to the nominations process. So 187 00:07:49,480 --> 00:07:51,560 Speaker 2: I encourage people to think that way and to do it. 188 00:07:51,600 --> 00:07:53,720 Speaker 2: I know down here, you know, we expect people are 189 00:07:53,760 --> 00:07:55,320 Speaker 2: going to stay and vote down the ballot, but we 190 00:07:55,400 --> 00:07:57,040 Speaker 2: have to make sure that's the case. People have to 191 00:07:57,040 --> 00:08:00,400 Speaker 2: be reminded constantly. Look, we forget, you know, we breed. 192 00:08:00,560 --> 00:08:02,040 Speaker 2: This is what we do for a living now is 193 00:08:02,080 --> 00:08:04,800 Speaker 2: we're in politics, and we focus on elections. But people 194 00:08:04,800 --> 00:08:07,280 Speaker 2: have real lives. You know, they have to go to 195 00:08:07,320 --> 00:08:09,680 Speaker 2: weddings in October for God's sake, they have to do 196 00:08:09,680 --> 00:08:11,320 Speaker 2: all these other things that they have to put up with. 197 00:08:11,840 --> 00:08:13,960 Speaker 2: And then on top of that, and then on top 198 00:08:14,000 --> 00:08:15,520 Speaker 2: of that, you're dealing with you know, the impact is 199 00:08:15,560 --> 00:08:18,520 Speaker 2: potentially of a storm or just real life, and so 200 00:08:18,800 --> 00:08:20,960 Speaker 2: they forget to vote, even though they intend to, but 201 00:08:21,000 --> 00:08:22,560 Speaker 2: they forget. You know, it gets late, they get they 202 00:08:22,560 --> 00:08:24,720 Speaker 2: don't get there, and then a vote doesn't happen, or 203 00:08:24,840 --> 00:08:28,000 Speaker 2: they go vote and they don't remember the other races 204 00:08:28,000 --> 00:08:30,560 Speaker 2: that are so critical to the to what you're voting for. 205 00:08:31,520 --> 00:08:34,000 Speaker 2: So I urge everybody listening, you know, if you're voting 206 00:08:34,000 --> 00:08:36,040 Speaker 2: for Trump, make sure you stay and vote for the Senate, 207 00:08:36,120 --> 00:08:38,080 Speaker 2: vote for the House. I would say, stay and vote 208 00:08:38,120 --> 00:08:40,440 Speaker 2: for all of them, including the school board races and 209 00:08:40,480 --> 00:08:41,760 Speaker 2: the local races as well. 210 00:08:42,040 --> 00:08:42,880 Speaker 3: But you got to vote. 211 00:08:42,920 --> 00:08:44,680 Speaker 2: I mean, no matter how strong you may feel about 212 00:08:44,679 --> 00:08:47,440 Speaker 2: the issues, if you don't vote, it won't matter no 213 00:08:47,440 --> 00:08:49,600 Speaker 2: matter what the polls say or all this other stuff. 214 00:08:49,840 --> 00:08:52,120 Speaker 2: Voting is the points on the scoreboard that we got 215 00:08:52,160 --> 00:08:52,400 Speaker 2: to get. 216 00:08:52,440 --> 00:08:56,280 Speaker 1: We're speaking to Senator Marco Rubio in Florida of Florida 217 00:08:56,480 --> 00:08:59,600 Speaker 1: and Senator Rubio, what would you want to see as 218 00:08:59,640 --> 00:09:03,560 Speaker 1: the absolute first out of the gate. Let's just assume 219 00:09:03,679 --> 00:09:05,880 Speaker 1: we're in a happy world for a second. You have 220 00:09:06,000 --> 00:09:07,959 Speaker 1: a Republican majority in the House, the Senate and a 221 00:09:08,000 --> 00:09:11,240 Speaker 1: Donald Trump presidency. From the Senate side of things, what 222 00:09:11,320 --> 00:09:13,199 Speaker 1: would you want to see come to the Senate floor 223 00:09:13,200 --> 00:09:15,760 Speaker 1: as the first top Trump agenda item? 224 00:09:16,040 --> 00:09:18,040 Speaker 2: Well, I think the first issue is going to have 225 00:09:18,080 --> 00:09:19,320 Speaker 2: to deal with that out of the box, is this 226 00:09:19,360 --> 00:09:21,800 Speaker 2: migration crisis. This is not an immigration issue. We need 227 00:09:21,880 --> 00:09:24,520 Speaker 2: to stop calling it. That is a mass migration. It 228 00:09:24,559 --> 00:09:26,920 Speaker 2: is an essence and invasion of our country. You know, 229 00:09:27,000 --> 00:09:29,880 Speaker 2: ten nine to twelve million people have entered the country unlawfully, 230 00:09:29,960 --> 00:09:31,200 Speaker 2: illegally in the last three and. 231 00:09:31,160 --> 00:09:33,000 Speaker 3: A half years. That has to stop. 232 00:09:33,440 --> 00:09:35,280 Speaker 2: And he has the ability to restore some of the 233 00:09:35,320 --> 00:09:37,360 Speaker 2: executive orders he did on day one, and there are 234 00:09:37,400 --> 00:09:39,920 Speaker 2: things we can do legislatively to help even further. So 235 00:09:40,000 --> 00:09:41,679 Speaker 2: that to me, was going to be the top priority. 236 00:09:41,679 --> 00:09:42,880 Speaker 2: It's a top priority of voters. 237 00:09:43,040 --> 00:09:45,480 Speaker 3: I think. The other is to provide certainty to our economy. 238 00:09:45,600 --> 00:09:47,440 Speaker 2: Not only are we not going to be raising taxes, 239 00:09:47,679 --> 00:09:49,560 Speaker 2: but we're going to be looking for ways to bring 240 00:09:49,640 --> 00:09:52,400 Speaker 2: manufacturing jobs back to the country. We're going to be 241 00:09:52,480 --> 00:09:55,120 Speaker 2: looking for ways to inject fairness into how we trade 242 00:09:55,120 --> 00:09:58,080 Speaker 2: with other countries, and I expect those will be top 243 00:09:58,080 --> 00:10:01,000 Speaker 2: priorities of his and embedd and that is energy. The 244 00:10:01,040 --> 00:10:03,800 Speaker 2: cost of energy, what it costs to fuel a truck 245 00:10:04,160 --> 00:10:06,760 Speaker 2: or a home, is embedded in the cost of everything 246 00:10:06,800 --> 00:10:10,920 Speaker 2: we buy everything, and so doing things to open up 247 00:10:10,960 --> 00:10:13,880 Speaker 2: the exploration of American energy that we've been blessed with 248 00:10:14,920 --> 00:10:18,560 Speaker 2: is critical. So I would expect that those economic issues, 249 00:10:18,600 --> 00:10:22,720 Speaker 2: combined with a national security national sovereignty issue, which is 250 00:10:22,720 --> 00:10:24,880 Speaker 2: the crisis at our border, are going to be the 251 00:10:24,880 --> 00:10:27,320 Speaker 2: priorities of a Trump administration and what I would expect 252 00:10:27,320 --> 00:10:29,960 Speaker 2: we would make a priority in addition to the positions 253 00:10:29,960 --> 00:10:32,160 Speaker 2: he needs to fill in the nomination role the Senate place. 254 00:10:32,760 --> 00:10:34,880 Speaker 4: I know you're a foreign policy expert, so I wanted 255 00:10:34,880 --> 00:10:38,280 Speaker 4: to get your take on this, Senator Rubio Kamala, would 256 00:10:38,320 --> 00:10:40,240 Speaker 4: be a disaster, I think it's fair to say, or 257 00:10:40,360 --> 00:10:44,600 Speaker 4: on foreign policy in general, but in terms of keeping 258 00:10:44,720 --> 00:10:47,920 Speaker 4: us out of wars, there does seem to be a 259 00:10:48,000 --> 00:10:52,679 Speaker 4: fear of Trump that Putin would have, that Chairman Z 260 00:10:52,840 --> 00:10:57,000 Speaker 4: would likely have in your experience, Why was Trump able 261 00:10:57,040 --> 00:11:00,000 Speaker 4: to avoid war in the Middle East and war in Europe, 262 00:11:00,160 --> 00:11:02,560 Speaker 4: And as soon as Biden got into office, we got 263 00:11:02,600 --> 00:11:07,000 Speaker 4: both how directly connected to Biden's presidency and Kamala's potential 264 00:11:07,280 --> 00:11:11,360 Speaker 4: future presidency, would a lack of security around the world 265 00:11:11,440 --> 00:11:12,480 Speaker 4: be well. 266 00:11:12,559 --> 00:11:15,960 Speaker 2: I think that what happened, the travesty and the embarrassment 267 00:11:16,000 --> 00:11:18,680 Speaker 2: of what happened in Afghanistan was the trigger for everything 268 00:11:18,679 --> 00:11:20,560 Speaker 2: we've seen happen in the world since then, because it 269 00:11:20,559 --> 00:11:24,520 Speaker 2: projected weakness and it confirmed to Putin to the Chinese 270 00:11:24,520 --> 00:11:27,240 Speaker 2: tehs Blahamasa ra on everybody else that the United States 271 00:11:27,320 --> 00:11:30,200 Speaker 2: under Joe Biden was weak and feckless and Donald Trump 272 00:11:30,240 --> 00:11:32,840 Speaker 2: projects strength, and he did from the very beginning of 273 00:11:32,880 --> 00:11:36,040 Speaker 2: his presidency. And ultimately, you know, we are dealing with 274 00:11:36,080 --> 00:11:40,480 Speaker 2: people that are raw, calculated operatives. That's what the Putin is, 275 00:11:40,559 --> 00:11:43,760 Speaker 2: That's what she is in China, That's what the Iranians are. 276 00:11:44,200 --> 00:11:47,880 Speaker 2: They're not into warm, fuzzy, you know, feelings and personal 277 00:11:47,920 --> 00:11:50,680 Speaker 2: relationships more than anything else. They want to know what's 278 00:11:50,720 --> 00:11:53,000 Speaker 2: the cost and the benefit of taking an action. And 279 00:11:53,080 --> 00:11:56,600 Speaker 2: they concluded that under Joe Biden, the benefits of invading Ukraine, 280 00:11:56,640 --> 00:11:59,920 Speaker 2: the benefits of harassing the Philippines now and Taiwan and 281 00:12:00,080 --> 00:12:03,599 Speaker 2: the future about the Chinese, the benefits of Iran expanding 282 00:12:04,480 --> 00:12:07,800 Speaker 2: their weapons program and sponsoring Hamas and hesbel and they're 283 00:12:07,840 --> 00:12:09,839 Speaker 2: like the benefits of all those things while Joe Biden 284 00:12:09,920 --> 00:12:13,040 Speaker 2: was president outweighed any of the potential costs and that's 285 00:12:13,080 --> 00:12:15,360 Speaker 2: what we got. We didn't have that under Trump. We 286 00:12:15,400 --> 00:12:18,040 Speaker 2: won't have that if he's back, because he projects strength 287 00:12:18,120 --> 00:12:21,000 Speaker 2: and ultimately in the world, when you're dealing with nation 288 00:12:21,160 --> 00:12:23,840 Speaker 2: state actors and even terrorist groups like these, you have 289 00:12:23,920 --> 00:12:25,839 Speaker 2: to project strength as a country. They have to actually 290 00:12:25,920 --> 00:12:28,800 Speaker 2: fear you and believe and respect that you will actually 291 00:12:28,880 --> 00:12:30,720 Speaker 2: do things to them if they act against you. 292 00:12:30,960 --> 00:12:31,760 Speaker 3: And he did no. 293 00:12:31,960 --> 00:12:35,439 Speaker 2: Solomoni was wiped out, he was taken out, Isis was 294 00:12:35,480 --> 00:12:38,400 Speaker 2: taken out, was wiped out under Trump, and he didn't 295 00:12:38,400 --> 00:12:41,640 Speaker 2: start wars to do it. So I think to me 296 00:12:41,760 --> 00:12:44,240 Speaker 2: that that's really critical, and especially in a world where 297 00:12:44,320 --> 00:12:47,240 Speaker 2: right now we face not one but multiple crisis that 298 00:12:47,400 --> 00:12:50,679 Speaker 2: together and combined threatened the spiral into something far worse. 299 00:12:51,240 --> 00:12:53,200 Speaker 2: And frankly, I say this with no joy in my heart, 300 00:12:53,240 --> 00:12:55,520 Speaker 2: but if Kamala Harris's president, it's not going to get better. 301 00:12:55,559 --> 00:12:57,000 Speaker 3: It's going to get far, far worse. 302 00:12:57,520 --> 00:12:59,640 Speaker 2: I think that at that point you're going to see 303 00:12:59,679 --> 00:13:02,800 Speaker 2: multiple adversaries test us in ways this nation has not 304 00:13:02,840 --> 00:13:04,440 Speaker 2: been tested in forty fifty years. 305 00:13:05,240 --> 00:13:09,360 Speaker 4: Senator Marco Rubio, great stuff. Good luck to the Miami Dolphins, 306 00:13:09,440 --> 00:13:12,240 Speaker 4: you guys need it for sure, and the Florida Gators 307 00:13:12,320 --> 00:13:14,560 Speaker 4: next four brutal games. So I know you'll be watching 308 00:13:14,600 --> 00:13:17,120 Speaker 4: all those. But and then get out and vote one 309 00:13:17,120 --> 00:13:18,440 Speaker 4: more time. I'll let you make the call. 310 00:13:20,240 --> 00:13:21,360 Speaker 3: Make the call on the games. 311 00:13:21,920 --> 00:13:24,040 Speaker 1: No, no, no, Ma, well you probably could do that too. 312 00:13:24,080 --> 00:13:26,000 Speaker 2: Oh get out of vote. Yeah, I'm not calling on those. 313 00:13:26,080 --> 00:13:28,680 Speaker 2: Damn guess that's a hell of a schedule, man, that's. 314 00:13:30,240 --> 00:13:30,680 Speaker 3: My god. 315 00:13:30,880 --> 00:13:33,280 Speaker 2: Anyway, Yeah, no, I mean again, I just want to 316 00:13:33,280 --> 00:13:36,720 Speaker 2: remind everybody, especially listen, they're Floridians. People that vote in Florida, 317 00:13:36,760 --> 00:13:39,760 Speaker 2: but they live here six months and a day or whatever, 318 00:13:39,800 --> 00:13:41,800 Speaker 2: you know, to get into November, and they've got a 319 00:13:41,840 --> 00:13:44,920 Speaker 2: ballot sitting in their house right now from their county 320 00:13:44,920 --> 00:13:46,440 Speaker 2: in Florida. They need to fill it out and they 321 00:13:46,440 --> 00:13:48,080 Speaker 2: need to send it back as soon as possible. 322 00:13:48,760 --> 00:13:51,320 Speaker 4: You just heard Center Marco Rubio talk about the dangers 323 00:13:51,360 --> 00:13:54,480 Speaker 4: all over the world in particular hasbo Lah and what 324 00:13:54,600 --> 00:13:57,080 Speaker 4: is going on with Hamas in the Middle East. Life 325 00:13:57,080 --> 00:13:59,840 Speaker 4: in Israel these days anything but easy. Over the weekend, 326 00:14:00,280 --> 00:14:03,680 Speaker 4: Israeli citizens learned of a missile attack on Prime Minister 327 00:14:03,720 --> 00:14:07,199 Speaker 4: net and Yahoo's home was an assassination attempt. Not only that, 328 00:14:07,360 --> 00:14:11,360 Speaker 4: more attempted missiles attacks alerted citizens to the prospect of 329 00:14:11,360 --> 00:14:14,280 Speaker 4: having to take cover in bomb shelters, conflict and tints. 330 00:14:14,400 --> 00:14:17,400 Speaker 4: As ever, Israel and our people are facing attacks from 331 00:14:17,480 --> 00:14:21,080 Speaker 4: enemies on all sides. Friendly support more appreciated now than ever. 332 00:14:21,400 --> 00:14:24,360 Speaker 4: The International Fellowship of Christians and Jews on the ground 333 00:14:24,440 --> 00:14:27,520 Speaker 4: providing food, shelter and safety of those in need during 334 00:14:27,520 --> 00:14:31,360 Speaker 4: this crisis.

Here we are about 349 00:15:20,840 --> 00:15:24,920 Speaker 1: to dive into election season, the height of it really, 350 00:15:24,960 --> 00:15:27,000 Speaker 1: I mean, actually the last lap of the race coming 351 00:15:27,080 --> 00:15:29,480 Speaker 1: up here pretty much. We have Senator Cotton with us. 352 00:15:29,520 --> 00:15:34,000 Speaker 1: He'll be giving us his view on how everything is looking. 353 00:15:34,040 --> 00:15:36,000 Speaker 1: And I have to say, Senator Cotton, I don't know 354 00:15:36,120 --> 00:15:37,960 Speaker 1: you're here with me in studio in Florida. Thank you 355 00:15:38,000 --> 00:15:40,800 Speaker 1: for coming to our lovely state. I don't know if 356 00:15:40,800 --> 00:15:43,320 Speaker 1: you saw this, but there was a lot of media 357 00:15:43,360 --> 00:15:46,800 Speaker 1: debunking over the weekend that Donald Trump does not in 358 00:15:46,840 --> 00:15:50,400 Speaker 1: fact work at McDonald's. They wanted everyone to know that 359 00:15:50,480 --> 00:15:52,400 Speaker 1: this was not that he is not getting a w 360 00:15:52,600 --> 00:15:56,360 Speaker 1: two from McDonald that this is not true. And I 361 00:15:56,400 --> 00:15:58,720 Speaker 1: think their lack of a sense of humor is higher 362 00:15:58,720 --> 00:16:00,680 Speaker 1: than ever because I think they're more worried than they've 363 00:16:00,680 --> 00:16:01,600 Speaker 1: been in a long time. 364 00:16:02,520 --> 00:16:05,120 Speaker 5: Yeah, I think they're very worried. About Donald Trump winning, 365 00:16:05,160 --> 00:16:06,800 Speaker 5: just like they're worried about Rick Scott winning here in 366 00:16:06,840 --> 00:16:09,520 Speaker 5: Florida and US winning Senate seats all across the country. 367 00:16:10,240 --> 00:16:12,480 Speaker 5: I thought it was a great day. Obviously, President Trump 368 00:16:12,520 --> 00:16:14,320 Speaker 5: is a big fan of McDonald's. He seemed to be 369 00:16:14,360 --> 00:16:15,920 Speaker 5: having a lot of fun. It might be like a 370 00:16:16,320 --> 00:16:18,600 Speaker 5: kid who's a baseball fan getting to go take batting 371 00:16:18,600 --> 00:16:21,160 Speaker 5: practice with the Yankees or something working the free machine 372 00:16:21,160 --> 00:16:24,800 Speaker 5: at McDonald's. But it also just highlights that President Trump 373 00:16:25,160 --> 00:16:28,760 Speaker 5: cares about working people. He is, he was, and will 374 00:16:28,800 --> 00:16:32,360 Speaker 5: be a president for the working man. And also the 375 00:16:32,640 --> 00:16:35,440 Speaker 5: kind of fraud of Kamala Harris. I mean, you think 376 00:16:35,480 --> 00:16:38,320 Speaker 5: someone who claims to have worked at McDonald's could produce 377 00:16:38,320 --> 00:16:40,520 Speaker 5: at least one person who remembers working there with her, 378 00:16:40,560 --> 00:16:43,080 Speaker 5: or wouldn't be continuing to shift her stories about when 379 00:16:43,120 --> 00:16:45,080 Speaker 5: she worked at McDonald's and why she worked. 380 00:16:44,920 --> 00:16:47,360 Speaker 1: There as well. Also, I think a normal person clay 381 00:16:47,680 --> 00:16:49,600 Speaker 1: with the senator here. I think when I see normal 382 00:16:49,640 --> 00:16:52,040 Speaker 1: one everyday person would say when I was at McDonald's, 383 00:16:52,040 --> 00:16:54,400 Speaker 1: and they would tell a couple of things about it 384 00:16:54,960 --> 00:16:57,440 Speaker 1: that you would really only know if you were there, 385 00:16:57,600 --> 00:16:59,560 Speaker 1: you know, like when I tell people about the NYPD 386 00:16:59,640 --> 00:17:02,200 Speaker 1: and telling division. I'm like, it was this high tech 387 00:17:02,280 --> 00:17:05,320 Speaker 1: counter terrorism force. I had to sign in to a 388 00:17:05,400 --> 00:17:08,280 Speaker 1: giant book. It looked like something out of Harry Potter. 389 00:17:08,520 --> 00:17:10,760 Speaker 1: I mean, with pain every day. I had just sign 390 00:17:10,840 --> 00:17:12,879 Speaker 1: in this book and everybody who worked there, No, you 391 00:17:12,920 --> 00:17:15,000 Speaker 1: had to sign the book. That's the way the precinct. 392 00:17:15,000 --> 00:17:16,960 Speaker 1: When you turn out of the precinc you sign the book. 393 00:17:17,160 --> 00:17:18,760 Speaker 1: You know, said her Cotton. She doesn't seem to have 394 00:17:18,800 --> 00:17:22,320 Speaker 1: any anecdotes. No, she doesn't have any at all. And 395 00:17:22,400 --> 00:17:25,520 Speaker 1: I mean, I think it's a reminder that Kamala Harris 396 00:17:25,600 --> 00:17:29,480 Speaker 1: has had her path to power paved by the Obama 397 00:17:29,520 --> 00:17:31,679 Speaker 1: wing of the party. You know, they helped helped her 398 00:17:31,680 --> 00:17:34,440 Speaker 1: get Willie Brown first helped make her DA in San Francisco, 399 00:17:34,560 --> 00:17:36,919 Speaker 1: and the Obama team helped her win the attorney general's 400 00:17:37,000 --> 00:17:40,520 Speaker 1: race in California, a race that she was behind on 401 00:17:40,520 --> 00:17:43,240 Speaker 1: on election night in California of all places. And they 402 00:17:43,600 --> 00:17:45,760 Speaker 1: dozed a path for her in twenty fifteen and twenty 403 00:17:45,760 --> 00:17:47,760 Speaker 1: sixteen to get elected to the Senate. The one thing 404 00:17:47,800 --> 00:17:49,600 Speaker 1: they couldn't do, though, is when she had to run 405 00:17:49,640 --> 00:17:52,760 Speaker 1: a campaign in her own right in twenty nineteen, is 406 00:17:52,800 --> 00:17:54,840 Speaker 1: winning her own right, and she had this, she had 407 00:17:54,840 --> 00:17:57,080 Speaker 1: this nomination gifted to her, and as Marcos said earlier, 408 00:17:57,119 --> 00:18:00,480 Speaker 1: the American people are realizing that she is too radical 409 00:18:00,520 --> 00:18:04,600 Speaker 1: for them. Cell Phone companies like Apple really likes rather 410 00:18:04,640 --> 00:18:07,480 Speaker 1: they like it when Apple releases a new iPhone because 411 00:18:07,520 --> 00:18:09,639 Speaker 1: they bundle the phone together with a plan that simply 412 00:18:09,680 --> 00:18:11,760 Speaker 1: doesn't have your best interest at heart when it comes 413 00:18:11,800 --> 00:18:14,320 Speaker 1: to the data you need at the price you want. 414 00:18:14,640 --> 00:18:17,320 Speaker 1: They're trying to upsell you. They give you that shiny 415 00:18:17,359 --> 00:18:19,800 Speaker 1: new phone, but they don't give you the plan you want, 416 00:18:19,840 --> 00:18:22,560 Speaker 1: the data plan that's going to be the most efficient 417 00:18:22,640 --> 00:18:25,720 Speaker 1: for your needs.

Senators Rubio and Cotton with us here in 430 00:19:02,920 --> 00:19:09,919 Speaker 1: South Florida and Clay. Let's dive into this with Senator Cotton. 431 00:19:10,320 --> 00:19:13,320 Speaker 1: Senator cop we talked to you before about the McDonald's 432 00:19:13,320 --> 00:19:16,239 Speaker 1: moment over the weekend. Some great photos, a lot of 433 00:19:16,440 --> 00:19:20,280 Speaker 1: iconic imagery, truly historic and iconic imagery of Donald Trump 434 00:19:20,280 --> 00:19:22,760 Speaker 1: from the campaign. I don't think anyone can deny that. 435 00:19:22,840 --> 00:19:26,080 Speaker 1: I mean, with the fist, after the shooting and now this, 436 00:19:26,240 --> 00:19:28,800 Speaker 1: and there's just a lot of things about this that 437 00:19:28,840 --> 00:19:32,640 Speaker 1: everyone's going to remember. Here, I'll put this one out 438 00:19:32,640 --> 00:19:34,440 Speaker 1: to you. I've got a lot of we want to 439 00:19:34,440 --> 00:19:36,520 Speaker 1: get you to start making some predictions here, Senator. But 440 00:19:36,720 --> 00:19:39,280 Speaker 1: first up, do you think there's a pretty decent chance 441 00:19:39,280 --> 00:19:41,440 Speaker 1: that Democrats may look back on this if it goes 442 00:19:41,480 --> 00:19:43,920 Speaker 1: the way Clay and I both think it will, and 443 00:19:44,080 --> 00:19:46,480 Speaker 1: say that Joe Biden, even with all his problems, was 444 00:19:46,520 --> 00:19:48,359 Speaker 1: a better candidate than Kamala. Is that is that a 445 00:19:48,400 --> 00:19:50,400 Speaker 1: crazy idea to you? You think that's possible. 446 00:19:50,440 --> 00:19:52,280 Speaker 5: Well, I think Joe Biden and some of those around 447 00:19:52,320 --> 00:19:55,480 Speaker 5: Joe Biden are already saying that. I mean, remember, the 448 00:19:55,560 --> 00:20:00,119 Speaker 5: Democratic Party didn't want to replace Joe Biden for and 449 00:20:00,119 --> 00:20:02,320 Speaker 5: a half years because they all had doubts about Kamala 450 00:20:02,359 --> 00:20:05,679 Speaker 5: Harris's abilities. And I think you've seen that proven on 451 00:20:05,720 --> 00:20:08,880 Speaker 5: the campaign trail. She can't cite a single thing where 452 00:20:08,880 --> 00:20:11,240 Speaker 5: she would disagree with Joe Biden or done something differently. 453 00:20:11,320 --> 00:20:14,000 Speaker 5: Not the withdrawal from Afghanistan, not the troyion dollars of 454 00:20:14,040 --> 00:20:17,719 Speaker 5: spending that unleashed inflation, not the migrant crisis at our 455 00:20:17,720 --> 00:20:20,600 Speaker 5: border and now all across our country. And she won't 456 00:20:20,600 --> 00:20:23,640 Speaker 5: walk back or explain why she put ports to chance 457 00:20:23,680 --> 00:20:27,679 Speaker 5: reviews on truly radical positions like decriminalizing illegal immigration, or 458 00:20:27,680 --> 00:20:30,560 Speaker 5: taking away your health insurance on the job, confiscating your gun, 459 00:20:30,720 --> 00:20:34,320 Speaker 5: or paying for sex chain surgeries for prisoners with your money. 460 00:20:34,600 --> 00:20:36,879 Speaker 5: So there's a reason why Joe Biden and the Democratic 461 00:20:36,920 --> 00:20:39,439 Speaker 5: high command have doubts about Kamala Harris all along, and 462 00:20:39,520 --> 00:20:41,439 Speaker 5: I think you're seeing that in the final days of 463 00:20:41,440 --> 00:20:42,040 Speaker 5: this campaign. 464 00:20:42,920 --> 00:20:44,560 Speaker 4: Center Cotton, I'm not going to put you on the 465 00:20:44,600 --> 00:20:46,760 Speaker 4: spot and ask you to tell me who you think 466 00:20:46,840 --> 00:20:50,040 Speaker 4: the best Democrat in the Senate would be as president, 467 00:20:50,600 --> 00:20:52,719 Speaker 4: but I'm sure, there are some guys or girls that 468 00:20:52,760 --> 00:20:54,480 Speaker 4: you meet and you say, hey, I may not agree 469 00:20:54,480 --> 00:20:57,919 Speaker 4: with them on the political equation, but they're relatively intelligent. 470 00:20:58,000 --> 00:21:01,320 Speaker 4: They make rational decisions. You guys have all served with 471 00:21:01,400 --> 00:21:04,840 Speaker 4: Kamala Harris. Where would she rank if you had to 472 00:21:04,960 --> 00:21:09,679 Speaker 4: pick a Democrat in the Senate to be president? Bottom category? Like, 473 00:21:09,720 --> 00:21:13,360 Speaker 4: how would you assess the role that she performed as senator? 474 00:21:13,520 --> 00:21:16,680 Speaker 4: And just kind of the decision making that she embodied 475 00:21:17,000 --> 00:21:19,320 Speaker 4: in some way? The Senate's small enough that you guys 476 00:21:19,400 --> 00:21:22,439 Speaker 4: have some sense for what she's like. Well, you're right 477 00:21:22,480 --> 00:21:25,399 Speaker 4: about that. I would not pick any Democratic senator or 478 00:21:25,440 --> 00:21:27,840 Speaker 4: congressman for that matter, to ever be our president. But 479 00:21:28,400 --> 00:21:30,040 Speaker 4: if you had to twist my arm and say where 480 00:21:30,040 --> 00:21:32,520 Speaker 4: she'd rank, I'd say it'd be pretty low on the scale. 481 00:21:33,200 --> 00:21:36,000 Speaker 4: I mean, she is a far left San Francisco Liberal, 482 00:21:37,119 --> 00:21:39,960 Speaker 4: and I don't think she's especially competent either, as you 483 00:21:39,960 --> 00:21:42,119 Speaker 4: saw from her time in the Senate. I'm sorry, on 484 00:21:42,160 --> 00:21:44,800 Speaker 4: a presidential campaign in twenty nineteen and then also as 485 00:21:44,920 --> 00:21:47,239 Speaker 4: vice president. I'll also raise this point too about her 486 00:21:47,240 --> 00:21:49,560 Speaker 4: in the Senate. I mean, if the moment she got there, 487 00:21:49,600 --> 00:21:52,399 Speaker 4: she seemed to be laser focused on her future presidential 488 00:21:52,440 --> 00:21:56,760 Speaker 4: campaign and what you did to try to get elected president. 489 00:21:57,200 --> 00:21:59,600 Speaker 4: And I understand that a lot of Senators are ambitious 490 00:21:59,600 --> 00:22:02,280 Speaker 4: in that way, but she represents a big state with 491 00:22:02,359 --> 00:22:05,000 Speaker 4: lots of problems, problems that are peculiar to California, and 492 00:22:05,040 --> 00:22:08,080 Speaker 4: I never once heard her caring about the people she represented. 493 00:22:08,160 --> 00:22:10,199 Speaker 4: That's very different from most senators. I said, it's very 494 00:22:10,200 --> 00:22:13,320 Speaker 4: different from these two senators here, Marco Rubio and Rick Scott. 495 00:22:13,520 --> 00:22:15,800 Speaker 4: I mean, they're great champions of having a strong border 496 00:22:15,840 --> 00:22:19,600 Speaker 4: and defending our seconmendent rights, funding our military, keeping taxes low. 497 00:22:19,960 --> 00:22:22,600 Speaker 4: But Florida has its own unique problems as well. And 498 00:22:22,720 --> 00:22:25,040 Speaker 4: Rick Scott in particular, since he's up for reelection, I 499 00:22:25,080 --> 00:22:27,200 Speaker 4: just want to stress and look in Arkansas, we don't 500 00:22:27,200 --> 00:22:30,440 Speaker 4: have a lot of maritime issues. We don't have many hurricanes. 501 00:22:30,480 --> 00:22:33,360 Speaker 4: We get some remnants and rainstorms. But he's a champion 502 00:22:33,440 --> 00:22:35,720 Speaker 4: for Floridians on those issues, and he's a voice in 503 00:22:35,760 --> 00:22:37,480 Speaker 4: the Senate and we all go to him, and we 504 00:22:37,520 --> 00:22:40,360 Speaker 4: go to Marco when we need guidance on things that 505 00:22:40,480 --> 00:22:43,160 Speaker 4: don't affect our states directly, but we're still called upon 506 00:22:43,280 --> 00:22:45,879 Speaker 4: to vote on That's not something anybody would have ever 507 00:22:45,960 --> 00:22:46,880 Speaker 4: done with Kamala. 508 00:22:46,600 --> 00:22:52,760 Speaker 1: Harris Senator Cotton. Kamala Harris is obviously not a gifted 509 00:22:52,920 --> 00:22:56,320 Speaker 1: national level politician based on the interviews and some of 510 00:22:56,359 --> 00:22:59,399 Speaker 1: the media that we've seen her do. But there are 511 00:22:59,440 --> 00:23:03,680 Speaker 1: people who are worried that just the issue of abortion 512 00:23:03,960 --> 00:23:06,960 Speaker 1: could be enough to push forward Democrats in some of 513 00:23:07,000 --> 00:23:09,800 Speaker 1: the battleground states to push forward, maybe even and we 514 00:23:09,880 --> 00:23:11,879 Speaker 1: know no one can bring the future, maybe even Kamala 515 00:23:11,880 --> 00:23:14,399 Speaker 1: Harris to the presidency. What do you say to that 516 00:23:14,520 --> 00:23:17,560 Speaker 1: concern at this stage of the election, and from what 517 00:23:17,560 --> 00:23:19,000 Speaker 1: we've seen in the numbers. 518 00:23:18,840 --> 00:23:20,520 Speaker 5: Well, I travel all around the state like I am 519 00:23:20,520 --> 00:23:22,679 Speaker 5: today for Rick Scott and Florida, all around the country 520 00:23:22,720 --> 00:23:24,720 Speaker 5: like I'm here in Florida for Rick Scott today. 521 00:23:24,760 --> 00:23:25,880 Speaker 1: So I see. 522 00:23:25,800 --> 00:23:28,840 Speaker 5: Democrats telling lies about our candidates and lying about President 523 00:23:28,880 --> 00:23:33,679 Speaker 5: Trump's position. President Trump appointed three constitutional conservatives to our 524 00:23:33,680 --> 00:23:36,960 Speaker 5: Supreme Court who recognized that Roe v. Waders wrongly decided 525 00:23:37,240 --> 00:23:39,520 Speaker 5: that for one hundred and eighty years in our republic, 526 00:23:39,760 --> 00:23:42,879 Speaker 5: this very important question was settled by the people acting 527 00:23:42,920 --> 00:23:45,320 Speaker 5: through their legislatures and their governor. And that's what we 528 00:23:45,359 --> 00:23:48,080 Speaker 5: have again. And some states are going to have more 529 00:23:48,119 --> 00:23:50,240 Speaker 5: restrictive abortion laws. Some states are going to have more 530 00:23:50,240 --> 00:23:53,679 Speaker 5: liberal abortion laws, and that's okay because it happens on 531 00:23:53,720 --> 00:23:56,760 Speaker 5: so many other issues that we do handle in America 532 00:23:56,840 --> 00:23:59,680 Speaker 5: as well. Washington doesn't always have to impose a one 533 00:23:59,680 --> 00:24:02,840 Speaker 5: size fits all solution. States can kind of work to 534 00:24:02,880 --> 00:24:05,639 Speaker 5: where their public opinion is on this, as they do 535 00:24:05,720 --> 00:24:08,680 Speaker 5: on so many other issues. It's the Democrats alone who 536 00:24:08,680 --> 00:24:13,959 Speaker 5: are proposing a radical nationwide abortion law that would legalize 537 00:24:14,000 --> 00:24:16,400 Speaker 5: abortion up to the very moment of birth, and yes, 538 00:24:16,440 --> 00:24:20,880 Speaker 5: despite their claims, allow doctors to deny life saving care 539 00:24:21,200 --> 00:24:23,720 Speaker 5: to children who have been born during the course of 540 00:24:23,760 --> 00:24:26,919 Speaker 5: a botched abortion. They're the only party who has a 541 00:24:27,080 --> 00:24:30,560 Speaker 5: radical nationwide abortion law that they're pursuing so much so 542 00:24:30,600 --> 00:24:33,280 Speaker 5: that they're willing to violate the rules of the Senate 543 00:24:33,480 --> 00:24:36,360 Speaker 5: to try to pass, as Kamala Harris proposed to do. Recently, 544 00:24:36,840 --> 00:24:39,760 Speaker 5: we're talking to Senator Tom Cotton. He's campaigning in Florida 545 00:24:39,840 --> 00:24:42,760 Speaker 5: with two of his Senate colleagues, Marco Rubio and Senator 546 00:24:42,840 --> 00:24:45,000 Speaker 5: Rick Scott, who you have heard on the program as well. 547 00:24:45,720 --> 00:24:47,399 Speaker 5: I want to go back to something that I think 548 00:24:47,400 --> 00:24:49,760 Speaker 5: you got one hundred percent right, but I think was 549 00:24:49,800 --> 00:24:53,560 Speaker 5: so emblematic of the broken media ecosystem that we have. 550 00:24:54,280 --> 00:24:57,840 Speaker 5: You wrote for people who have forgotten during the bom 551 00:24:57,960 --> 00:25:02,120 Speaker 5: riots of the summer of twenty twenty, a well reasoned, intelligent, 552 00:25:02,320 --> 00:25:05,840 Speaker 5: rational editorial for The New York Times arguing that the 553 00:25:05,920 --> 00:25:09,119 Speaker 5: National Guard should be called out to quell the riots. 554 00:25:09,440 --> 00:25:10,280 Speaker 1: There was an. 555 00:25:10,200 --> 00:25:12,919 Speaker 4: Uproar to the extent that people got fired at the 556 00:25:12,920 --> 00:25:16,400 Speaker 4: New York Times. They basically purged the opinions that were 557 00:25:16,440 --> 00:25:20,040 Speaker 4: allowed to be shared on the editorial page. And then, 558 00:25:20,080 --> 00:25:23,760 Speaker 4: by the way, after January sixth, they came out and said, oh, yeah, 559 00:25:23,800 --> 00:25:25,399 Speaker 4: we need to call out the National Guard to make 560 00:25:25,440 --> 00:25:27,359 Speaker 4: sure that we have security in the country. So they 561 00:25:27,400 --> 00:25:30,720 Speaker 4: actually ended up agreeing with you several months later. Are 562 00:25:30,760 --> 00:25:34,719 Speaker 4: you optimistic in any way that the craziness that we 563 00:25:34,800 --> 00:25:38,560 Speaker 4: saw in twenty twenty in the media ecosystem is getting 564 00:25:38,680 --> 00:25:42,440 Speaker 4: better or do you think it's fundamentally broken and it's 565 00:25:42,480 --> 00:25:46,359 Speaker 4: almost impossible to salvage. How do you see, based on 566 00:25:46,400 --> 00:25:50,600 Speaker 4: your experience in twenty twenty four years later, the media environment. 567 00:25:51,280 --> 00:25:54,240 Speaker 5: No, I don't think it's gotten better at liberal flagships 568 00:25:54,280 --> 00:25:57,080 Speaker 5: like the New York Times or the Washington Post or MSNBC. 569 00:25:57,320 --> 00:25:58,720 Speaker 5: I mean, if you just go to the New York 570 00:25:58,720 --> 00:26:01,520 Speaker 5: Times homepage. You have to scroll down to get to 571 00:26:01,520 --> 00:26:03,880 Speaker 5: the Arts and Lifestyle section before you see a headline 572 00:26:03,920 --> 00:26:06,360 Speaker 5: that's not how awful Donald Trump is and how wonderful 573 00:26:06,440 --> 00:26:10,640 Speaker 5: Kamala Harris is. And that op ed that I published 574 00:26:10,640 --> 00:26:13,000 Speaker 5: four years ago is to a perfect example. As you know, 575 00:26:13,119 --> 00:26:15,600 Speaker 5: and as some of your listeners probably know, authors don't 576 00:26:15,600 --> 00:26:17,919 Speaker 5: even choose their own headlines. So the headline of it 577 00:26:18,000 --> 00:26:20,359 Speaker 5: send in the Troops was chosen by the liberals at 578 00:26:20,359 --> 00:26:22,280 Speaker 5: the New York Times, which the liberals at the New 579 00:26:22,320 --> 00:26:25,480 Speaker 5: York Times then revolted against because OpEd, as you suggested, 580 00:26:25,520 --> 00:26:27,560 Speaker 5: it didn't even say send in the troops. It said 581 00:26:27,920 --> 00:26:30,639 Speaker 5: be prepared to send in the troops, be prepared to 582 00:26:30,640 --> 00:26:33,520 Speaker 5: call in the National Guard if law enforcement is overwhelmed 583 00:26:33,560 --> 00:26:36,760 Speaker 5: and needs assistance, and if necessary, to use the Insurrection 584 00:26:36,840 --> 00:26:39,280 Speaker 5: Act to restore law and order. It doesn't happen often 585 00:26:39,280 --> 00:26:41,520 Speaker 5: in our country's history, but it has been done from 586 00:26:41,560 --> 00:26:43,919 Speaker 5: time to time, like the Rodney King riots in nineteen 587 00:26:44,000 --> 00:26:47,040 Speaker 5: ninety one, or like in my state in the nineteen 588 00:26:47,080 --> 00:26:51,040 Speaker 5: fifties to enforce integration in Little Rock schools. So it 589 00:26:51,080 --> 00:26:54,760 Speaker 5: does have precedent. But because Donald Trump was president, Liberals 590 00:26:54,800 --> 00:26:58,160 Speaker 5: at the New York Times couldn't contemplate using long standing 591 00:26:58,560 --> 00:27:01,160 Speaker 5: legal authorities going back to the founding of the Republic 592 00:27:01,359 --> 00:27:03,520 Speaker 5: in ways that had been done before. And that's still 593 00:27:03,560 --> 00:27:05,720 Speaker 5: the case if you look on their websites today or 594 00:27:05,760 --> 00:27:09,800 Speaker 5: read their hardcopy editions. Now, the overall media landscape I 595 00:27:09,800 --> 00:27:12,560 Speaker 5: think has improved. I mean, for one, you have Elon 596 00:27:12,680 --> 00:27:15,080 Speaker 5: Musk who's bought X and has made it into a 597 00:27:15,160 --> 00:27:18,520 Speaker 5: genuine free speech platform. You don't have conservatives being censored 598 00:27:18,840 --> 00:27:21,439 Speaker 5: right now as happened four years ago. Today if you 599 00:27:21,480 --> 00:27:23,359 Speaker 5: tried to share the story from the New York Post 600 00:27:23,720 --> 00:27:26,840 Speaker 5: about the Hunter Biden laptop. You have more podcasts, you 601 00:27:26,880 --> 00:27:30,760 Speaker 5: have more radio programs like yours. You have more ways 602 00:27:30,840 --> 00:27:34,520 Speaker 5: through different channels to reach the American people that is 603 00:27:34,520 --> 00:27:36,600 Speaker 5: not going to be filtered by the mainstream media. So, 604 00:27:36,760 --> 00:27:40,080 Speaker 5: even as The New York Times and other outlets and 605 00:27:40,080 --> 00:27:43,160 Speaker 5: networks have gotten more biased, I do think that Rick 606 00:27:43,240 --> 00:27:45,440 Speaker 5: and Marco and I live in a time in which 607 00:27:45,480 --> 00:27:48,760 Speaker 5: we have more opportunities to speak to our voters and 608 00:27:48,800 --> 00:27:50,800 Speaker 5: the people that we served, and say Ronald Reagan did 609 00:27:50,800 --> 00:27:52,119 Speaker 5: in the nineteen eighties. 610 00:27:52,119 --> 00:27:56,280 Speaker 1: Speaking to Senator Cotton here and Senator Cotton. If you 611 00:27:56,320 --> 00:28:00,600 Speaker 1: were to tell us where you think the is looking 612 00:28:00,640 --> 00:28:03,879 Speaker 1: best for Republicans in battlegrounds, and if there's one that 613 00:28:03,920 --> 00:28:05,800 Speaker 1: comes to mind where you think we could even get 614 00:28:05,840 --> 00:28:09,160 Speaker 1: a surprise, how would you see these races right now? 615 00:28:09,200 --> 00:28:13,040 Speaker 1: Because it feels like in a best case scenario, maybe Republicans. 616 00:28:12,480 --> 00:28:14,480 Speaker 3: Get fifty two fifty. 617 00:28:14,160 --> 00:28:17,080 Speaker 1: Three, but there's some data indicating that we might be 618 00:28:17,160 --> 00:28:19,639 Speaker 1: able to pull out an extra seat here or there. 619 00:28:19,680 --> 00:28:21,720 Speaker 1: What are you seeing and what do you think is 620 00:28:22,040 --> 00:28:24,800 Speaker 1: critical for those Senate races in these last couple of weeks. 621 00:28:24,960 --> 00:28:27,080 Speaker 5: Well, of course it looks best in Florida, right here 622 00:28:27,160 --> 00:28:29,720 Speaker 5: in Florida for Rick Scott, I just add my voice 623 00:28:29,720 --> 00:28:31,440 Speaker 5: to Rick and Marco by the way, to please go 624 00:28:31,480 --> 00:28:33,159 Speaker 5: out and early vote, even if it's a right of 625 00:28:33,200 --> 00:28:36,280 Speaker 5: civic passage for you go on election day. Don't count 626 00:28:36,280 --> 00:28:39,240 Speaker 5: on life's contingencies, you know, don't risk getting sick or 627 00:28:39,280 --> 00:28:41,160 Speaker 5: having a sick kid or sick mom, or having a 628 00:28:41,160 --> 00:28:44,120 Speaker 5: flat tire and emergency at work. And also for all 629 00:28:44,200 --> 00:28:46,880 Speaker 5: those who are very regular voters, if you vote early, 630 00:28:46,920 --> 00:28:50,200 Speaker 5: it allows ricks campaign and President Trump's campaign to cross 631 00:28:50,240 --> 00:28:52,040 Speaker 5: you off the list and get voters who maybe don't 632 00:28:52,080 --> 00:28:54,480 Speaker 5: vote on every election, but I do think Rick is 633 00:28:54,480 --> 00:28:56,840 Speaker 5: going to win here in Florida. I think we'll hold 634 00:28:56,880 --> 00:28:59,160 Speaker 5: serve in all the states that we have, and then 635 00:28:59,280 --> 00:29:02,720 Speaker 5: I think it's just great offensive pickups from there. West 636 00:29:02,760 --> 00:29:05,080 Speaker 5: Virginia is already in our hip pocket with Jim Justice 637 00:29:05,080 --> 00:29:08,240 Speaker 5: replacing Joe Manchin. I think Tim Sheehey is going to 638 00:29:08,280 --> 00:29:11,880 Speaker 5: beat John Tester in Montana and Shared Brown, I'm sorry, 639 00:29:12,440 --> 00:29:14,760 Speaker 5: Bernie Marina will beat Shared Brown in Ohio. Those are 640 00:29:14,880 --> 00:29:19,400 Speaker 5: Republican states, strong candidates who are exposing those Democrats as 641 00:29:19,520 --> 00:29:22,280 Speaker 5: Democrats who talk one way at home but then always 642 00:29:22,320 --> 00:29:25,680 Speaker 5: vote for Chuck Schumer and Joe Biden, Kamala Harrison Washington. 643 00:29:26,320 --> 00:29:27,920 Speaker 5: And then you have a series of states that are 644 00:29:27,960 --> 00:29:31,080 Speaker 5: also presidential swing states where we have great candidates who 645 00:29:31,120 --> 00:29:35,040 Speaker 5: are running, for the most part against incumbents, where you 646 00:29:35,120 --> 00:29:37,840 Speaker 5: have again Democrats that vote one hundred percent of the 647 00:29:37,840 --> 00:29:40,800 Speaker 5: time for Joe Biden Kamala Harris when it matters. I've 648 00:29:40,840 --> 00:29:44,040 Speaker 5: been up with Dave McCormick in Pennsylvania running against Bob Casey, 649 00:29:44,200 --> 00:29:48,280 Speaker 5: and Eric Hovedy in Wisconsin running against Tammy Baldwin. As 650 00:29:48,360 --> 00:29:51,200 Speaker 5: Marco said earlier, it's remarkable to see these Democrats running 651 00:29:51,240 --> 00:29:54,160 Speaker 5: ads proclaiming their work with Donald Trump as if they 652 00:29:54,160 --> 00:29:56,960 Speaker 5: were best buds and wingman, when in reality they voted 653 00:29:56,960 --> 00:29:59,640 Speaker 5: against his tax cuts, They vote against all three of 654 00:30:00,080 --> 00:30:02,360 Speaker 5: in court justices. They voted to impeach him twice, and 655 00:30:02,400 --> 00:30:04,040 Speaker 5: if they got a chance again to do it again, 656 00:30:04,080 --> 00:30:06,080 Speaker 5: they'd vote to impeach him the next time, probably for 657 00:30:06,680 --> 00:30:08,960 Speaker 5: using the salad fork on the main course or changing 658 00:30:09,000 --> 00:30:12,360 Speaker 5: lane for them putting on his turn signal. In some states, 659 00:30:12,400 --> 00:30:15,000 Speaker 5: we've got open seats where we have great candidates as 660 00:30:15,040 --> 00:30:18,080 Speaker 5: well running to replace a retiring Democrat. That's the case 661 00:30:18,080 --> 00:30:21,760 Speaker 5: in Michigan with Mike Rodgers running against Alyssa Slotkin, another 662 00:30:21,840 --> 00:30:24,240 Speaker 5: down the line liberal for Joe Biden and Kamala Harris. 663 00:30:24,760 --> 00:30:27,040 Speaker 5: Or in Arizona where we have Kerry Lake trying to 664 00:30:27,040 --> 00:30:29,760 Speaker 5: pick up the seat currently held by kirston Cinema. And 665 00:30:29,800 --> 00:30:31,800 Speaker 5: I think we could surprise in some states as well. 666 00:30:32,160 --> 00:30:36,320 Speaker 5: Larry Hogan's the very popular former governor of Maryland who's 667 00:30:36,360 --> 00:30:39,640 Speaker 5: running a strong race.

And I 749 00:34:47,360 --> 00:34:51,120 Speaker 4: think they are getting super nervous because they have already 750 00:34:51,120 --> 00:34:54,560 Speaker 4: gone back to hey, Trump is hitler, and when Trump's 751 00:34:54,560 --> 00:34:57,040 Speaker 4: showing up and giving out big Max and making fries 752 00:34:57,080 --> 00:34:57,919 Speaker 4: at McDonald's. 753 00:34:58,440 --> 00:35:01,000 Speaker 1: It's really hard for the avera person out there. 754 00:35:01,040 --> 00:35:03,640 Speaker 4: You may not agree with Trump on ivory policy issue, 755 00:35:04,000 --> 00:35:06,680 Speaker 4: but the idea that he's a unique threat to America 756 00:35:06,719 --> 00:35:09,279 Speaker 4: when he's wearing a McDonald's bib and doing interviews at 757 00:35:09,280 --> 00:35:12,680 Speaker 4: the drive through is a really hard putt to sink, right. 758 00:35:12,719 --> 00:35:15,240 Speaker 4: It's a hard argument to make, Yeah. 759 00:35:15,000 --> 00:35:18,560 Speaker 1: But they're making it that they are in I think 760 00:35:18,840 --> 00:35:21,719 Speaker 1: a degree of denial and panic right now in a 761 00:35:21,760 --> 00:35:26,240 Speaker 1: lot of the Democrat Kamala aligned media. There's a sense 762 00:35:26,360 --> 00:35:30,799 Speaker 1: among them that Donald Trump is gaining and the only 763 00:35:30,840 --> 00:35:33,239 Speaker 1: way to stop him this is they're turning this all. 764 00:35:33,520 --> 00:35:36,799 Speaker 1: At this point, this has become an election that is 765 00:35:37,440 --> 00:35:41,240 Speaker 1: focused on hating Trump and not on voting for Kamala. 766 00:35:42,360 --> 00:35:45,080 Speaker 1: They've tried for a little while to do the Kamala 767 00:35:45,080 --> 00:35:48,520 Speaker 1: as a unique, joyful candidate, and she's a man that's 768 00:35:48,560 --> 00:35:50,920 Speaker 1: not working. No one believes that. No one sees that 769 00:35:51,000 --> 00:35:54,000 Speaker 1: as what's going on here. But they are pushing very 770 00:35:54,040 --> 00:35:59,040 Speaker 1: hard to make this a fear Donald Trump and the 771 00:35:59,280 --> 00:36:02,279 Speaker 1: chaos and disorder that he will bring. But I think 772 00:36:02,320 --> 00:36:04,600 Speaker 1: one of the reasons it's falling flat Clay is because 773 00:36:05,360 --> 00:36:07,640 Speaker 1: they're the ones bringing all the chaos. They're the ones 774 00:36:07,680 --> 00:36:10,400 Speaker 1: doing all the crazy stuff. They're the ones bringing the indictments. 775 00:36:10,440 --> 00:36:12,640 Speaker 1: They're the ones saying that everything's going to fall apart. 776 00:36:13,040 --> 00:36:15,800 Speaker 1: And Trump's handing out French fries and going to rallies 777 00:36:15,880 --> 00:36:19,640 Speaker 1: and inspiring people and making funny jokes and doing podcasts, 778 00:36:19,719 --> 00:36:23,320 Speaker 1: and you know, it's just that's the reality what we're seeing. 779 00:36:23,360 --> 00:36:26,200 Speaker 1: And they're hoping that people don't catch on to that. 780 00:36:26,320 --> 00:36:27,680 Speaker 1: But I'm feeling good. 781 00:36:27,680 --> 00:36:27,879 Speaker 5: Man. 782 00:36:27,960 --> 00:36:30,080 Speaker 1: Got to stay focused and frosty, but I'm feeling good 783 00:36:30,120 --> 00:36:31,240 Speaker 1: about where this is all heading. 784 00:36:31,960 --> 00:36:34,920 Speaker 4: We headed to the third hour here, fifteen days out. 785 00:36:35,120 --> 00:36:39,480 Speaker 4: We'll dive into CBS News still refusing to list release 786 00:36:39,600 --> 00:36:43,960 Speaker 4: the sixty minutes transcript of Kamala Harris's interview New York Time. 787 00:36:44,200 --> 00:36:46,680 Speaker 4: Sorry the AP reporting it was forty five minutes long. 788 00:36:46,760 --> 00:36:49,719 Speaker 4: They only played twenty minutes plus the latest election data. 789 00:36:49,880 --> 00:36:50,120 Speaker 1: Next
