1
00:00:00,520 --> 00:00:04,280
Speaker 1: Welcome back in hour number two Clay Travis buck Sexton Show.

2
00:00:04,320 --> 00:00:06,960
Speaker 1: Appreciate all of you hanging out with us as we

3
00:00:07,080 --> 00:00:10,840
Speaker 1: roll through the Monday edition of the program. Tomorrow will

4
00:00:10,840 --> 00:00:15,000
Speaker 1: be exactly four weeks until election Day. Early voting underway

5
00:00:15,040 --> 00:00:19,720
Speaker 1: across many different states out there already, and early voting

6
00:00:19,760 --> 00:00:23,200
Speaker 1: for many people starting next week in the even more earnest,

7
00:00:23,239 --> 00:00:25,600
Speaker 1: including my home state of Tennessee.

8
00:00:25,640 --> 00:00:27,640
Speaker 2: I planned to vote as early as I possibly can.

9
00:00:28,160 --> 00:00:30,840
Speaker 1: We are joined now by Sean Parnell, who was at

10
00:00:30,880 --> 00:00:35,680
Speaker 1: the massive Trump rally in Butler, Pennsylvania that ended July

11
00:00:35,840 --> 00:00:39,519
Speaker 1: thirteenth with a assassination attempt. Trump went back, had an

12
00:00:39,640 --> 00:00:43,400
Speaker 1: unbelievable crowd. Now get to that in a second, But first, Sean,

13
00:00:43,960 --> 00:00:47,720
Speaker 1: have you recovered from Dak Prescott's late touchdown pass last

14
00:00:47,800 --> 00:00:53,040
Speaker 1: night to beat your beloved Pittsburgh Steelers in Pittsburgh?

15
00:00:53,120 --> 00:00:54,560
Speaker 3: You know, I knew you were going to lead off

16
00:00:54,600 --> 00:00:56,480
Speaker 3: with a question like that, and I'll tell you it

17
00:00:56,520 --> 00:00:59,040
Speaker 3: was a rough night here in Fort Parnell, because not

18
00:00:59,160 --> 00:01:03,240
Speaker 3: only did the Steelers fall to three and two, backsliding

19
00:01:03,240 --> 00:01:06,440
Speaker 3: two straight losses with Justin Fields at quarterback, but the

20
00:01:06,480 --> 00:01:11,280
Speaker 3: impeachables my fantasy team unless Kareem Hunt comes off the

21
00:01:11,319 --> 00:01:14,360
Speaker 3: bench tonight for Monday Night Football and turns in a

22
00:01:14,400 --> 00:01:17,600
Speaker 3: fifty point game. Yes, it looks like the impeachables are

23
00:01:17,640 --> 00:01:19,000
Speaker 3: going to fall to three and two as well.

24
00:01:19,160 --> 00:01:20,360
Speaker 2: Not good, not good.

25
00:01:20,400 --> 00:01:22,760
Speaker 1: I'm in a tough spot in my fantasy league as well.

26
00:01:23,240 --> 00:01:25,800
Speaker 1: Anita some miracles to fight and I'm gonna fall to

27
00:01:25,840 --> 00:01:28,400
Speaker 1: three and two also. But let me get okay that

28
00:01:28,600 --> 00:01:31,200
Speaker 1: is out there. Sorry for all the Steelers fans out there,

29
00:01:31,240 --> 00:01:34,200
Speaker 1: I had to hear about that. But let's go to

30
00:01:34,840 --> 00:01:38,520
Speaker 1: the rally itself. I believe you spoke there. What was

31
00:01:38,640 --> 00:01:42,520
Speaker 1: the what was the environment like? What did it feel like?

32
00:01:43,280 --> 00:01:45,160
Speaker 1: Take us for those of us who were not there,

33
00:01:45,160 --> 00:01:48,680
Speaker 1: which is the vast majority of listeners into that experience.

34
00:01:49,960 --> 00:01:53,480
Speaker 3: Well, I have to say it was. It was crazy

35
00:01:53,800 --> 00:01:56,640
Speaker 3: and it was surreal to be back there. I did

36
00:01:56,640 --> 00:01:59,400
Speaker 3: a walk through the night before and I'll tell you

37
00:01:59,440 --> 00:02:02,320
Speaker 3: and for all the listeners, the setup was a little

38
00:02:02,320 --> 00:02:08,400
Speaker 3: bit different. But President Trump was absolutely insistent on that

39
00:02:08,520 --> 00:02:13,200
Speaker 3: stage being in the exact same location, and I think

40
00:02:13,240 --> 00:02:15,959
Speaker 3: that's because he wanted to send a message to the

41
00:02:16,360 --> 00:02:19,280
Speaker 3: people of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania that we're not finished

42
00:02:19,360 --> 00:02:22,560
Speaker 3: yet he wanted to make good on his commitment to them,

43
00:02:23,280 --> 00:02:27,040
Speaker 3: but he also wanted to send a message to our enemies,

44
00:02:27,360 --> 00:02:31,280
Speaker 3: you know, both here and abroad, that as Americans, we

45
00:02:31,360 --> 00:02:34,280
Speaker 3: don't bend the need to fear, we don't bend the

46
00:02:34,320 --> 00:02:37,400
Speaker 3: need of tyranny, and come hell or high water, President

47
00:02:37,400 --> 00:02:39,880
Speaker 3: Trump was standing on that stage and finishing what he started,

48
00:02:39,919 --> 00:02:41,920
Speaker 3: and I have to say I have a ton of

49
00:02:41,919 --> 00:02:44,680
Speaker 3: respect for that man for doing it, because you know,

50
00:02:44,680 --> 00:02:46,800
Speaker 3: I wasn't crazy, and I know my wife wasn't crazy

51
00:02:46,840 --> 00:02:48,600
Speaker 3: about going back to that place, but we felt like

52
00:02:48,639 --> 00:02:50,239
Speaker 3: we had to go back there because we had a

53
00:02:50,320 --> 00:02:52,880
Speaker 3: duty to go there, and President Trump clearly felt the

54
00:02:52,919 --> 00:02:53,400
Speaker 3: same way.

55
00:02:57,160 --> 00:02:58,799
Speaker 2: Sewn. I always appreciate you being with us.

56
00:02:59,240 --> 00:03:01,880
Speaker 4: Battleground Line podcast is on the clan Buck feed for

57
00:03:01,919 --> 00:03:05,520
Speaker 4: everybody listening. And also, we're gonna have Sean filling in

58
00:03:05,520 --> 00:03:08,400
Speaker 4: on this show around Thanksgiving time, so Sean, you're gonna

59
00:03:08,400 --> 00:03:10,320
Speaker 4: be in charge for all three hours at the con,

60
00:03:10,400 --> 00:03:14,560
Speaker 4: My friend, it's gonna be exciting. In the meantime, What

61
00:03:14,600 --> 00:03:17,800
Speaker 4: were some of the biggest takeaways from just that day

62
00:03:17,919 --> 00:03:22,640
Speaker 4: and also President Trump's speech and all of all of

63
00:03:22,639 --> 00:03:24,280
Speaker 4: what you were able to gather together. I mean, a

64
00:03:24,280 --> 00:03:26,480
Speaker 4: lot of us weren't able to be there, So what

65
00:03:26,760 --> 00:03:28,800
Speaker 4: what did you walk away thinking and feeling?

66
00:03:30,120 --> 00:03:30,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was.

67
00:03:30,840 --> 00:03:34,960
Speaker 3: It was absolutely exhilarating on so many levels because it

68
00:03:35,080 --> 00:03:37,920
Speaker 3: was just one historic moment after the next. You know,

69
00:03:38,000 --> 00:03:41,400
Speaker 3: I'm sitting there in the crowd and I hear, you know,

70
00:03:41,480 --> 00:03:44,800
Speaker 3: God Bless the USA, right the Trump the song that

71
00:03:45,080 --> 00:03:48,600
Speaker 3: Lee Greenwood song that Trump walks out to, and I'm thinking, dang,

72
00:03:48,640 --> 00:03:52,280
Speaker 3: this sounds really good. And Lee Greenwood walks out on

73
00:03:52,360 --> 00:03:54,960
Speaker 3: stage ten feet in front of me. He's saluting Trump,

74
00:03:55,160 --> 00:03:58,200
Speaker 3: and I'm like, dang, this guy knows how to entertain.

75
00:03:58,280 --> 00:04:01,920
Speaker 3: And of course, much of much of what Trump talked about,

76
00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:04,160
Speaker 3: especially in the early phases of his speech, was Corey

77
00:04:04,240 --> 00:04:08,560
Speaker 3: Coppertore's family and the other folks in the Commonwealth of

78
00:04:08,560 --> 00:04:11,880
Speaker 3: Pennsylvania who were wounded, and He's got this opera singer

79
00:04:11,960 --> 00:04:13,680
Speaker 3: coming out and everything else. And then there was a

80
00:04:13,720 --> 00:04:15,960
Speaker 3: woman at one point Buck and Clay up in the

81
00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:19,039
Speaker 3: stands who had a medical emergency. President Trump stopped his

82
00:04:19,120 --> 00:04:21,799
Speaker 3: speech in the middle of that, and then one hundred

83
00:04:21,839 --> 00:04:24,960
Speaker 3: thousand people spur of the moment started singing the Star

84
00:04:25,040 --> 00:04:30,159
Speaker 3: Spangled Banner. It was just it was just an unbelievably

85
00:04:30,360 --> 00:04:34,560
Speaker 3: powerful moment and a powerful night on so many levels.

86
00:04:34,560 --> 00:04:37,919
Speaker 3: And again not just a testament to President Trump's toughness,

87
00:04:38,320 --> 00:04:40,359
Speaker 3: but a testament to the character of the people of

88
00:04:40,400 --> 00:04:43,719
Speaker 3: Commonwealth of Pennsylvania who also wanted to show up that

89
00:04:43,880 --> 00:04:46,680
Speaker 3: day to send a message that we're not afraid and

90
00:04:46,920 --> 00:04:49,320
Speaker 3: you know, we're going to be heard. And it was

91
00:04:49,560 --> 00:04:51,680
Speaker 3: just I have to tell you both, it was amazing

92
00:04:51,720 --> 00:04:53,640
Speaker 3: to be on that stage and look out over what

93
00:04:53,760 --> 00:04:57,359
Speaker 3: was definitely one hundred thousand people and like, look, I

94
00:04:57,440 --> 00:04:59,599
Speaker 3: was on stage with President Trump five days before the

95
00:04:59,640 --> 00:05:02,080
Speaker 3: November twenty twenty election in Butler County almost at the

96
00:05:02,080 --> 00:05:05,800
Speaker 3: same location, sixty five thousand people there. This was this

97
00:05:06,000 --> 00:05:08,680
Speaker 3: was different. There was something in the air that was special.

98
00:05:09,360 --> 00:05:12,239
Speaker 3: And it just leads me to feel real, real good

99
00:05:12,520 --> 00:05:15,520
Speaker 3: about the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania in this election cycle.

100
00:05:16,320 --> 00:05:19,400
Speaker 1: Okay, let's dive into that, because you know Pennsylvania really well.

101
00:05:19,440 --> 00:05:21,599
Speaker 1: We're talking to Sean Parnell. Encourage you to listen to

102
00:05:21,640 --> 00:05:23,920
Speaker 1: his podcast as part of the Clay and Buck podcast

103
00:05:23,960 --> 00:05:28,640
Speaker 1: and network. Twenty sixteen, it was an earthquake that Trump

104
00:05:28,720 --> 00:05:33,080
Speaker 1: won Pennsylvania. In the political class twenty twenty, they pulled

105
00:05:33,080 --> 00:05:36,080
Speaker 1: out all the stops to try to find a way

106
00:05:36,120 --> 00:05:40,080
Speaker 1: to win it back. The absentee ballot request were through

107
00:05:40,120 --> 00:05:43,400
Speaker 1: the roof. In terms of data, what I have seen,

108
00:05:43,440 --> 00:05:47,000
Speaker 1: Sean is that the enthusiasm for Democrats when it comes

109
00:05:47,040 --> 00:05:50,840
Speaker 1: to absentee ballot request nowhere near what it was in

110
00:05:50,920 --> 00:05:54,040
Speaker 1: twenty twenty. And for people out there who say, well,

111
00:05:54,160 --> 00:05:56,080
Speaker 1: there's not a COVID going on, people are going to

112
00:05:56,160 --> 00:06:01,200
Speaker 1: vote in person more Republicans have actually had add similar

113
00:06:01,320 --> 00:06:04,440
Speaker 1: numbers when it comes to absentee ballot requests in both

114
00:06:04,480 --> 00:06:08,880
Speaker 1: twenty twenty and twenty twenty four. So that would cut

115
00:06:08,920 --> 00:06:12,560
Speaker 1: against that argument. What are you seeing on the ground,

116
00:06:12,839 --> 00:06:15,640
Speaker 1: what do you feel, and what from a data perspective

117
00:06:15,760 --> 00:06:17,720
Speaker 1: does the math look like to you?

118
00:06:19,040 --> 00:06:19,240
Speaker 5: Yeah?

119
00:06:19,320 --> 00:06:21,720
Speaker 3: Okay, So first of all, I've said here on this

120
00:06:21,880 --> 00:06:25,919
Speaker 3: show before that Pennsylvania is a state that closes late

121
00:06:26,200 --> 00:06:29,800
Speaker 3: and closes fast, and now you're seeing that play out. Well,

122
00:06:29,839 --> 00:06:32,680
Speaker 3: so what does that really mean? Well, look, Democrats can

123
00:06:32,760 --> 00:06:36,000
Speaker 3: win this state without a single Republican vote. Now we've

124
00:06:36,000 --> 00:06:39,239
Speaker 3: closed the voter registration deficit in Pennsylvania by over fifty

125
00:06:39,279 --> 00:06:41,839
Speaker 3: percent six hundred and fifty thousand plus more Democrats in

126
00:06:41,839 --> 00:06:44,520
Speaker 3: twenty twenty than there were Republicans. That number is now

127
00:06:44,520 --> 00:06:47,240
Speaker 3: three hundred and twenty five thousand more Democrats and Republicans.

128
00:06:47,240 --> 00:06:50,599
Speaker 3: Still a big number, right, But the point is is

129
00:06:50,640 --> 00:06:54,919
Speaker 3: that we are we are. In order for Republicans to

130
00:06:54,960 --> 00:06:58,200
Speaker 3: win this state, you've got to win moderate Democrats, and

131
00:06:58,240 --> 00:07:02,120
Speaker 3: you've got to sway independence. Every single pole that I've seen,

132
00:07:02,200 --> 00:07:05,600
Speaker 3: not just with between Trump and Harrison Pennsylvania, but especially

133
00:07:05,600 --> 00:07:09,320
Speaker 3: between McCormick and Casey, has shown probably two months ago

134
00:07:10,120 --> 00:07:14,240
Speaker 3: McCormick down anywhere between seven and ten points in Pennsylvania

135
00:07:14,280 --> 00:07:16,840
Speaker 3: will now in almost every single pole they're tied. And

136
00:07:16,880 --> 00:07:23,320
Speaker 3: that tells me that moderate Democrats and independents are breaking Republicans.

137
00:07:23,320 --> 00:07:25,800
Speaker 3: So the state is closing lateness, closing fast as it

138
00:07:25,800 --> 00:07:28,560
Speaker 3: typically does. Another thing that I need people to pay

139
00:07:28,600 --> 00:07:31,920
Speaker 3: attention to is look at the counties of Erie, Pennsylvania,

140
00:07:31,960 --> 00:07:35,080
Speaker 3: which is in the northwest of Pennsylvania, and Northampton, which

141
00:07:35,120 --> 00:07:37,440
Speaker 3: is in the northeast of Pennsylvania. Those are two blue

142
00:07:37,440 --> 00:07:41,760
Speaker 3: collar Union Democrat counties. They are the bell Weathers of

143
00:07:41,760 --> 00:07:45,680
Speaker 3: the state of Pennsylvania. And President Trump is up in

144
00:07:45,720 --> 00:07:49,400
Speaker 3: these two bell Weather counties on not just the top

145
00:07:49,440 --> 00:07:52,600
Speaker 3: line polling. But on all of the issues from the border,

146
00:07:52,640 --> 00:07:55,400
Speaker 3: he's up fifteen. On inflation, he's up seven. On the

147
00:07:55,440 --> 00:07:58,840
Speaker 3: economy in general, he's up six. So issue after issue

148
00:07:58,880 --> 00:08:02,760
Speaker 3: after issue in these blue union Democrat counties are breaking Trump.

149
00:08:03,120 --> 00:08:05,520
Speaker 3: And again you see that play out in the polls

150
00:08:05,520 --> 00:08:09,680
Speaker 3: as well. Clay as well, Buck with Kamala just is suffering.

151
00:08:10,080 --> 00:08:14,320
Speaker 3: She is hemorrhaging men right. And I cannot see for

152
00:08:14,400 --> 00:08:16,920
Speaker 3: the life of me, a blue collar union Democrat, somebody

153
00:08:16,920 --> 00:08:19,600
Speaker 3: who's worked with their hands their entire life in either

154
00:08:19,640 --> 00:08:22,400
Speaker 3: of those counties saying yeah, I'm gonna vote for Kamala Harris.

155
00:08:22,440 --> 00:08:25,760
Speaker 3: It's just not gonna happen. And last point I'll make

156
00:08:25,800 --> 00:08:28,360
Speaker 3: about the data. You look at the current mail in

157
00:08:28,680 --> 00:08:32,240
Speaker 3: request data. Democrats nine hundred and forty five thousand mail

158
00:08:32,280 --> 00:08:36,000
Speaker 3: in ballot requests, Republicans four hundred and nineteen thousand, Independents

159
00:08:36,000 --> 00:08:38,360
Speaker 3: one hundred and sixty one hundred and seventy six thousand.

160
00:08:38,640 --> 00:08:41,280
Speaker 3: Now in twenty twenty, Republicans had six hundred and sixty

161
00:08:41,320 --> 00:08:44,439
Speaker 3: eight thousand requests, five hundred and twenty four thousand returns

162
00:08:44,480 --> 00:08:49,800
Speaker 3: Democrat Democrats one point six at one point five million returns.

163
00:08:49,840 --> 00:08:51,960
Speaker 3: So in twenty twenty, we lost the vote by mail

164
00:08:52,040 --> 00:08:55,880
Speaker 3: by nearly one million. But we're actually doing a lot

165
00:08:55,920 --> 00:08:58,840
Speaker 3: better than we were in twenty twenty because let's say

166
00:08:59,240 --> 00:09:03,120
Speaker 3: of those hundred seventy six thousand independents who have requested

167
00:09:03,280 --> 00:09:07,880
Speaker 3: a mail in ballot, let's say forty percent of them

168
00:09:07,920 --> 00:09:10,320
Speaker 3: break our way. We are going to be well over

169
00:09:10,400 --> 00:09:13,960
Speaker 3: five hundred thousand ballots requested in twenty twenty four, which

170
00:09:14,000 --> 00:09:16,920
Speaker 3: is more than we had in twenty twenty. And Democrats,

171
00:09:16,960 --> 00:09:21,320
Speaker 3: by contrast, they need that floor of twenty twenty mail

172
00:09:21,360 --> 00:09:23,960
Speaker 3: in ballots to be successful in that state, and they are.

173
00:09:24,000 --> 00:09:26,080
Speaker 3: They're not there yet, And at nine hundred and forty

174
00:09:26,080 --> 00:09:27,880
Speaker 3: five thousand, they got to get to one point five

175
00:09:27,960 --> 00:09:31,960
Speaker 3: million returns. That the clock is ticking, guys, and I

176
00:09:32,080 --> 00:09:34,160
Speaker 3: just don't think that there's enough time for them to

177
00:09:34,200 --> 00:09:34,719
Speaker 3: make it up.

178
00:09:36,559 --> 00:09:40,719
Speaker 4: Sean, What the ground game that Trump has? How is

179
00:09:40,760 --> 00:09:43,000
Speaker 4: it looking? How is it in these final weeks? And

180
00:09:43,360 --> 00:09:45,040
Speaker 4: you know you're telling you you're you're giving us a

181
00:09:45,040 --> 00:09:47,720
Speaker 4: sense of what spots in the stage should be highlighted

182
00:09:48,040 --> 00:09:50,080
Speaker 4: to try to bring it across the finish line. But

183
00:09:50,880 --> 00:09:54,440
Speaker 4: is the infrastructure there? The door knocking, the ads on TV.

184
00:09:54,720 --> 00:09:56,720
Speaker 4: I mean, you know, what are you seeing in terms

185
00:09:56,720 --> 00:09:57,160
Speaker 4: of that.

186
00:09:58,400 --> 00:10:01,960
Speaker 3: Well, the ads on TV, they are just the market

187
00:10:02,000 --> 00:10:04,880
Speaker 3: is absolutely saturated. And it's particularly tough to run ads

188
00:10:04,920 --> 00:10:07,360
Speaker 3: in Pennsylvania running a state wide campaign because there are

189
00:10:07,400 --> 00:10:12,120
Speaker 3: five different media markets, whether it's Philadelphia, scrant and York, Pittsburgh, Eerie,

190
00:10:13,240 --> 00:10:16,520
Speaker 3: unbelievably expensive. But yeah, there's a political ad on TV

191
00:10:16,600 --> 00:10:18,840
Speaker 3: every couple of seconds here. But the ground game for

192
00:10:18,880 --> 00:10:23,040
Speaker 3: President Trump is really, really, really strong. And again, by contrast,

193
00:10:23,160 --> 00:10:25,640
Speaker 3: look at Kamala Harris. You don't get the teams to endorsement.

194
00:10:25,920 --> 00:10:31,000
Speaker 3: You don't get the endorsement of the National Firefighters Union. Now, yeah,

195
00:10:31,000 --> 00:10:34,120
Speaker 3: that might be a political hit optically for Kamala Harris,

196
00:10:34,320 --> 00:10:37,640
Speaker 3: but when they don't endorse, you don't get their infrastructure,

197
00:10:37,679 --> 00:10:39,600
Speaker 3: you don't get their door knocking, you don't get their

198
00:10:39,600 --> 00:10:43,160
Speaker 3: ballot chasing, you don't get union organization. And that's gonna

199
00:10:43,200 --> 00:10:45,800
Speaker 3: hurt her in Pennsylvania. And again you see that in play,

200
00:10:45,960 --> 00:10:47,360
Speaker 3: you see that playing out in the polls.

201
00:10:47,480 --> 00:10:47,600
Speaker 5: Right.

202
00:10:47,640 --> 00:10:49,880
Speaker 3: So not only are people inclined to I think, vote

203
00:10:49,880 --> 00:10:53,400
Speaker 3: for Trump because they're they're hurting where like on kitchen

204
00:10:53,440 --> 00:10:57,240
Speaker 3: table issues in their pocketbooks, but Kamala is not going

205
00:10:57,280 --> 00:10:59,320
Speaker 3: to have the ground game that old scrant and Joe

206
00:11:00,120 --> 00:11:01,080
Speaker 3: Pennsylvania had.

207
00:11:01,240 --> 00:11:02,920
Speaker 2: And you know that's another thing. You know, at the

208
00:11:03,000 --> 00:11:03,720
Speaker 2: top of the ticket.

209
00:11:03,760 --> 00:11:06,400
Speaker 3: You know, most people in Pennsylvania that aren't tethered to

210
00:11:06,440 --> 00:11:09,040
Speaker 3: politics every day are looking at Scranton Joe and saying, hey,

211
00:11:09,120 --> 00:11:11,440
Speaker 3: he's one of us. Old moderate Joe Biden, you know,

212
00:11:11,480 --> 00:11:15,120
Speaker 3: works across the aisle. Kamala Harris is not Joe Biden

213
00:11:15,200 --> 00:11:18,320
Speaker 3: in that regard, and so she's got all sorts of

214
00:11:18,400 --> 00:11:21,040
Speaker 3: problems in Pennsylvania. I think it's pretty clear now that

215
00:11:21,160 --> 00:11:24,480
Speaker 3: Kamala has a Pennsylvania problem. But I say all that

216
00:11:24,559 --> 00:11:28,120
Speaker 3: to say we've got a campaign, like we're ten points down,

217
00:11:28,520 --> 00:11:30,800
Speaker 3: we got to sprint across the finish. I mean, all

218
00:11:30,840 --> 00:11:33,360
Speaker 3: of these things are good, but we're in the execution

219
00:11:33,480 --> 00:11:36,360
Speaker 3: phase of this election operation, and we got to close

220
00:11:36,360 --> 00:11:38,040
Speaker 3: the deal. We got to get the ball across the

221
00:11:38,080 --> 00:11:38,720
Speaker 3: goal line.

222
00:11:39,160 --> 00:11:42,199
Speaker 1: Sean, you making a football analogy there, and this is

223
00:11:42,240 --> 00:11:46,360
Speaker 1: where Buck has said for some time, I automatically trust

224
00:11:46,440 --> 00:11:50,320
Speaker 1: college football fans more, NFL fans more. If you like football,

225
00:11:50,320 --> 00:11:51,679
Speaker 1: I figure out you can't be that bad of a

226
00:11:51,720 --> 00:11:54,040
Speaker 1: guy or gal. I just come back, and I know

227
00:11:54,080 --> 00:11:56,960
Speaker 1: I started with you with the Steelers question. I just

228
00:11:57,080 --> 00:11:59,280
Speaker 1: come back to what I see on the ground. I

229
00:11:59,280 --> 00:12:02,160
Speaker 1: don't know if you saw me post this, but for

230
00:12:02,240 --> 00:12:06,040
Speaker 1: the Georgia Alabama game, the sign said, you know, Georgia

231
00:12:06,280 --> 00:12:10,400
Speaker 1: fans love Kamala, and all the Georgia fans on social

232
00:12:10,400 --> 00:12:13,600
Speaker 1: media said some some insults just cut too deep.

233
00:12:14,240 --> 00:12:14,800
Speaker 2: They had a.

234
00:12:14,760 --> 00:12:19,679
Speaker 1: Big rally for the College Democrats at the Auburn Georgia

235
00:12:19,720 --> 00:12:24,200
Speaker 1: game on the campus in Athens. Nobody shows up regular

236
00:12:24,559 --> 00:12:28,360
Speaker 1: everyday football fans. You see them in Pennsylvania a lot.

237
00:12:28,400 --> 00:12:30,960
Speaker 1: They're the backbone I think of much of that blue

238
00:12:30,960 --> 00:12:34,600
Speaker 1: collar mindset. They're not showing up and voting for Kamala

239
00:12:34,640 --> 00:12:36,800
Speaker 1: Harrison and I just think a lot of people are

240
00:12:36,800 --> 00:12:38,000
Speaker 1: slowly realizing it.

241
00:12:38,400 --> 00:12:41,320
Speaker 2: And then her outreach. I mean, Sean, how many.

242
00:12:41,400 --> 00:12:44,160
Speaker 1: Steeler fans do you think listen to call her daddy

243
00:12:44,240 --> 00:12:48,160
Speaker 1: Howard Stern and watch Stephen colebat like, how is she

244
00:12:48,240 --> 00:12:50,520
Speaker 1: going to change their mind going to those outlets?

245
00:12:51,840 --> 00:12:54,480
Speaker 3: She's not. And you're right if you go to any

246
00:12:54,520 --> 00:12:57,000
Speaker 3: sort of SEC game, you know, Trump shows up at

247
00:12:57,040 --> 00:13:00,120
Speaker 3: Alabama Georgia and the crowd goes wild for him, And

248
00:13:00,160 --> 00:13:02,800
Speaker 3: I think the reason why the crowd goes wild is

249
00:13:02,840 --> 00:13:05,240
Speaker 3: it people that are attending those college football games.

250
00:13:05,320 --> 00:13:06,280
Speaker 2: They're just normal.

251
00:13:06,320 --> 00:13:09,120
Speaker 3: They're not politicals like us, right, They're just normal people.

252
00:13:09,400 --> 00:13:12,360
Speaker 3: They're really struggling. They look at life three years ago

253
00:13:12,480 --> 00:13:14,640
Speaker 3: and said, hey, life was pretty great. Three years ago

254
00:13:14,720 --> 00:13:18,199
Speaker 3: under Trump it was easier. Life Now it sucks, not

255
00:13:18,280 --> 00:13:21,320
Speaker 3: just here domestically, but the world is on fire. And

256
00:13:21,600 --> 00:13:26,920
Speaker 3: I just you, I cannot see Kamala Harris or Walls

257
00:13:26,960 --> 00:13:29,600
Speaker 3: showing up at a college football game and getting nothing

258
00:13:29,679 --> 00:13:31,920
Speaker 3: but just NonStop.

259
00:13:31,559 --> 00:13:32,839
Speaker 2: There is It's a great point.

260
00:13:32,880 --> 00:13:35,720
Speaker 1: There isn't a stadium in America where Kamala Harris could

261
00:13:35,760 --> 00:13:38,480
Speaker 1: show up and be cheered like Trump is cheered all

262
00:13:38,480 --> 00:13:40,040
Speaker 1: over the country at football games.

263
00:13:40,080 --> 00:13:41,520
Speaker 2: It just doesn't exist.

264
00:13:42,520 --> 00:13:44,079
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean he's and this is why I say

265
00:13:44,120 --> 00:13:46,760
Speaker 3: he's the most I'm obviously a Trump guy, but this

266
00:13:46,800 --> 00:13:49,160
Speaker 3: is why I say he's the most electrifying political figure

267
00:13:49,200 --> 00:13:52,280
Speaker 3: of my lifetime. And I think there's a political underpinning

268
00:13:52,320 --> 00:13:54,920
Speaker 3: to all of this is that the next generation, these

269
00:13:55,000 --> 00:13:57,480
Speaker 3: kids that are eighteen to twenty five years old, in

270
00:13:57,480 --> 00:13:59,840
Speaker 3: many ways, they've been priced out of the American dream

271
00:14:00,240 --> 00:14:03,200
Speaker 3: that was not so three years ago. Under Trump, when

272
00:14:03,240 --> 00:14:05,600
Speaker 3: you have mortgage interest rates at two point five percent,

273
00:14:05,880 --> 00:14:08,280
Speaker 3: where you could graduate from Collus, get a job working

274
00:14:08,320 --> 00:14:10,600
Speaker 3: for maybe forty five fifty grand a year, and afford

275
00:14:10,640 --> 00:14:12,600
Speaker 3: to buy your first home and earn your way into

276
00:14:12,679 --> 00:14:16,160
Speaker 3: the American dream. These kids today, they don't have that

277
00:14:16,240 --> 00:14:19,440
Speaker 3: same opportunity. And we're at risk here in our country, guys.

278
00:14:19,800 --> 00:14:21,720
Speaker 3: Of you know, because every parent wants to say to

279
00:14:21,800 --> 00:14:23,520
Speaker 3: their children, Hey, I want my kids to have a

280
00:14:23,560 --> 00:14:24,680
Speaker 3: better life than I did.

281
00:14:25,200 --> 00:14:25,880
Speaker 2: But we're at a.

282
00:14:25,800 --> 00:14:27,960
Speaker 3: Point in time in this country where that might not

283
00:14:28,040 --> 00:14:30,000
Speaker 3: be the case for the first time in a very

284
00:14:30,040 --> 00:14:32,920
Speaker 3: long time. And I think these kids are waking up

285
00:14:32,960 --> 00:14:34,840
Speaker 3: to it. And I just think they're not going to

286
00:14:34,880 --> 00:14:36,920
Speaker 3: be voting for Tim Wallace or Kamala Harris.

287
00:14:38,200 --> 00:14:41,920
Speaker 4: I think you'll everybody, Sean Parnell, go check out Battleground

288
00:14:41,960 --> 00:14:43,400
Speaker 4: podcast on the Clay and Buck Network.

289
00:14:43,440 --> 00:14:45,840
Speaker 2: How do you listen? You subscribe and you go to.

290
00:14:45,800 --> 00:14:48,600
Speaker 4: The iHeartRadio app, you download that listen there or wherever

291
00:14:48,640 --> 00:14:51,120
Speaker 4: you get your podcast. Sean, thank you so much man.

292
00:14:51,160 --> 00:14:53,920
Speaker 4: Hopefully we'll be having a Pennsylvania victory celebration with you soon.

293
00:14:55,680 --> 00:14:57,200
Speaker 2: Hopefully, take care, guys.

294
00:14:57,040 --> 00:15:00,840
Speaker 4: Hopefully otherwise it's gonna be sad, be sad in Pennsylvania

295
00:15:00,880 --> 00:15:01,480
Speaker 4: for all of us.

296
00:15:02,360 --> 00:15:02,480
Speaker 5: Uh.

297
00:15:02,640 --> 00:15:04,680
Speaker 4: Look, my fellow gun owners, you want to get better

298
00:15:04,680 --> 00:15:07,160
Speaker 4: at shooting without spending money on AMMO or time at

299
00:15:07,160 --> 00:15:10,640
Speaker 4: the range. I have the thing for you. Get yourself

300
00:15:10,640 --> 00:15:14,120
Speaker 4: on Mantis X. Nearly every Mantis X user ninety four

301
00:15:14,160 --> 00:15:16,280
Speaker 4: percent of them see improvement in their shot and name

302
00:15:16,320 --> 00:15:19,120
Speaker 4: within twenty minutes of using Mantis X. This is an

303
00:15:19,160 --> 00:15:21,480
Speaker 4: at home training system you used with your own gun

304
00:15:21,520 --> 00:15:24,200
Speaker 4: to do dry fire practice. It's high tech but very

305
00:15:24,240 --> 00:15:26,600
Speaker 4: easy to use. It's a gizmo that gives you real

306
00:15:26,640 --> 00:15:30,200
Speaker 4: time feedback on your shooting technique. I've used it many times,

307
00:15:30,200 --> 00:15:32,480
Speaker 4: and let me tell you, trigger pull, trigger squeeze. It

308
00:15:32,600 --> 00:15:35,560
Speaker 4: is so often the difference between being an accurate shooter

309
00:15:35,600 --> 00:15:37,440
Speaker 4: and being somebody who just feels like they can't get

310
00:15:37,480 --> 00:15:41,120
Speaker 4: better at the range spending all this money. I'm telling

311
00:15:41,160 --> 00:15:43,960
Speaker 4: you try the Mantis X. Members of the Marines, Army

312
00:15:43,960 --> 00:15:46,880
Speaker 4: and Special Forces all use Mantis X and they're the

321
00:16:15,200 --> 00:16:20,560
Speaker 4: We have sn now deciding to make a joke at

322
00:16:20,840 --> 00:16:22,560
Speaker 4: Governor Walls's expense.

323
00:16:22,680 --> 00:16:23,160
Speaker 2: Listen to this.

324
00:16:23,480 --> 00:16:26,440
Speaker 6: Okay, he's out there, he's doing us thing whatever that

325
00:16:26,520 --> 00:16:26,760
Speaker 6: may be.

326
00:16:30,160 --> 00:16:31,200
Speaker 7: Come on, just relax.

327
00:16:31,320 --> 00:16:33,360
Speaker 2: You know you haven't had a night off in three months.

328
00:16:33,560 --> 00:16:35,400
Speaker 6: Do you want to watch something less stressful like the

329
00:16:35,400 --> 00:16:36,440
Speaker 6: Menendez Brothers show.

330
00:16:38,240 --> 00:16:39,880
Speaker 2: I don't know, Doggie. I kind of wish I had

331
00:16:39,960 --> 00:16:41,240
Speaker 2: picked Josh right now.

332
00:16:41,400 --> 00:16:44,760
Speaker 7: Oh, Joshapiro, No, Josh Cabernet.

333
00:16:46,320 --> 00:16:48,720
Speaker 2: Look, it will be fine. It's not like he's gonna

334
00:16:48,760 --> 00:16:52,080
Speaker 2: say something crazy. I've become friends with school shooters.

335
00:16:55,880 --> 00:16:59,280
Speaker 4: I think the I think the thrill is gone with

336
00:16:59,480 --> 00:17:02,440
Speaker 4: Walls and the Democrats. I think they've realized this guy

337
00:17:02,520 --> 00:17:03,800
Speaker 4: is not going to get it done for them.

338
00:17:04,160 --> 00:17:08,359
Speaker 1: Well, not only that they're going after, at least in

339
00:17:08,520 --> 00:17:11,960
Speaker 1: some way, the Kamala Harris campaign and Tim Wallas. I

340
00:17:12,000 --> 00:17:14,639
Speaker 1: watched some of the clips from Saturday Night Live in

341
00:17:14,680 --> 00:17:18,960
Speaker 1: a way that they never did in Trump sixteen or

342
00:17:18,960 --> 00:17:22,280
Speaker 1: Trump twenty, does that make sense? Like Biden, they basically

343
00:17:22,280 --> 00:17:24,880
Speaker 1: didn't do anything for a couple of years. Now they're

344
00:17:24,920 --> 00:17:29,160
Speaker 1: mocking and ridiculing, at least trying in some way both sides.

345
00:17:29,680 --> 00:17:32,200
Speaker 1: And that feels like a big loss to the Kamala

346
00:17:32,240 --> 00:17:36,200
Speaker 1: campaign because they were protected from ridicule for a long time.

347
00:17:36,240 --> 00:17:39,600
Speaker 1: I think it's hard not to ridicule Walls and Kamala. Frankly,

348
00:17:39,640 --> 00:17:42,720
Speaker 1: they have plenty of screw ups out on the campaign trail.

349
00:17:43,119 --> 00:17:45,600
Speaker 1: We're going to talk, by the way, about the situation

350
00:17:45,720 --> 00:17:51,200
Speaker 1: in Nebraska, big individual seat vote in Omaha.

351
00:17:50,960 --> 00:17:52,200
Speaker 2: And a Senate race there.

352
00:17:52,240 --> 00:17:55,280
Speaker 1: We'll talk with Ricketts, the senator from Nebraska when we

353
00:17:55,320 --> 00:17:58,280
Speaker 1: come back. When Apple first introduced the iPhone, it was

354
00:17:58,320 --> 00:18:00,560
Speaker 1: in high demand. More than a dozen year years later,

355
00:18:00,680 --> 00:18:03,760
Speaker 1: still is so much so. Cell phone companies like to

356
00:18:03,760 --> 00:18:05,800
Speaker 1: bundle the cost of a new phone with a long

357
00:18:05,880 --> 00:18:09,520
Speaker 1: term plan, making it peer almost paid for. Puretalk doesn't

358
00:18:09,520 --> 00:18:12,600
Speaker 1: do that. They offer great savings on the new iPhone sixteen,

359
00:18:12,760 --> 00:18:15,520
Speaker 1: and you can still get an affordable cell phone plan

360
00:18:15,640 --> 00:18:19,480
Speaker 1: that lifts fits your data needs. Puretalk provides cell phone

361
00:18:19,480 --> 00:18:22,719
Speaker 1: service on America's most dependable five G network, My family

362
00:18:23,040 --> 00:18:26,760
Speaker 1: has the latest iPhone sixteen from Puretalk. With Puretalk service,

363
00:18:27,200 --> 00:18:30,240
Speaker 1: my sons I rely on the sixteen and fourteen year

364
00:18:30,280 --> 00:18:33,240
Speaker 1: old to stay in touch with me through their Puretalk phones.

365
00:18:33,280 --> 00:18:35,480
Speaker 1: You can pay just twenty five bucks a month get

366
00:18:35,560 --> 00:18:38,680
Speaker 1: unlimited talk text, five gigs of data which is more

367
00:18:38,720 --> 00:18:42,119
Speaker 1: than enough, plus a mobile hotspot from Puretalk. All you

368
00:18:42,200 --> 00:18:44,880
Speaker 1: have to do is dial pound two five zero, say

369
00:18:44,920 --> 00:18:48,119
Speaker 1: Clay and Buck and you save an additional fifty percent

370
00:18:48,280 --> 00:18:52,040
Speaker 1: off your first month with Puretalk. That's pound two five zero.

371
00:18:52,320 --> 00:18:56,560
Speaker 1: Welcome back in Clay, Travis, Buck Sexton show hanging out

372
00:18:56,560 --> 00:18:59,240
Speaker 1: with all of you. Appreciate you guys rolling with us

373
00:18:59,280 --> 00:19:02,120
Speaker 1: on this Monday, a little bit over four weeks, four

374
00:19:02,119 --> 00:19:04,760
Speaker 1: weeks in a day until the election. We are joined

375
00:19:04,760 --> 00:19:08,440
Speaker 1: now by Senator Ricketts of the Great State of Nebraska

376
00:19:08,480 --> 00:19:10,000
Speaker 1: and Senator I think this is the first time you've

377
00:19:10,000 --> 00:19:11,600
Speaker 1: been on with us. Appreciate you making the time. I

378
00:19:11,680 --> 00:19:15,720
Speaker 1: want to start with a question that is extremely local

379
00:19:15,840 --> 00:19:19,600
Speaker 1: in scope but could have major national residents, and that

380
00:19:19,800 --> 00:19:23,080
Speaker 1: is what do you think happens in Omaha the one

381
00:19:23,160 --> 00:19:25,919
Speaker 1: electoral vote there. We got a lot of people listening

382
00:19:26,000 --> 00:19:28,920
Speaker 1: on KFAB. We love you in Omaha at a fabulous

383
00:19:28,960 --> 00:19:30,399
Speaker 1: time at the College World Series.

384
00:19:30,480 --> 00:19:33,280
Speaker 2: Great group of people. What do you seeing their senator?

385
00:19:33,320 --> 00:19:36,000
Speaker 1: How does that shake out not only in the electoral college,

386
00:19:36,000 --> 00:19:39,280
Speaker 1: but also I think there's a toss up congressional race there.

387
00:19:40,480 --> 00:19:44,480
Speaker 5: Yeah. Absolutely. For your listenersho may not be aware, the

388
00:19:44,520 --> 00:19:49,640
Speaker 5: second congressional district in Omaha is also at standalone electoral

389
00:19:49,640 --> 00:19:53,440
Speaker 5: College vote because of, frankly, a partisan move by Democrats

390
00:19:53,480 --> 00:19:55,800
Speaker 5: back in the nineteen nineties to split up our electoral

391
00:19:55,800 --> 00:19:59,000
Speaker 5: College votes by congressional district. So if you win the

392
00:19:59,040 --> 00:20:02,480
Speaker 5: state overall, get two electoral college votes, and then every

393
00:20:02,560 --> 00:20:05,440
Speaker 5: congressional district stands alone, you have to win that individually.

394
00:20:06,000 --> 00:20:10,080
Speaker 5: And President Trump won this district in twenty sixteen but

395
00:20:10,160 --> 00:20:13,159
Speaker 5: lost it in twenty twenty, and so it just shows you,

396
00:20:13,240 --> 00:20:16,480
Speaker 5: I mean, just in general, this district is very it's

397
00:20:16,480 --> 00:20:18,560
Speaker 5: like one of the few purple districts left in the country.

398
00:20:19,119 --> 00:20:22,680
Speaker 5: It's split very fifty to fifty. So it's always a

399
00:20:22,680 --> 00:20:26,680
Speaker 5: tough congressional seat. So Don Bacon, my congressman, is always

400
00:20:26,720 --> 00:20:28,560
Speaker 5: has a tough race. He won it by two points

401
00:20:29,320 --> 00:20:33,159
Speaker 5: last time around in twenty two and it's gonna be

402
00:20:33,200 --> 00:20:34,800
Speaker 5: a tough race. Again this year for him, and it's

403
00:20:34,800 --> 00:20:37,240
Speaker 5: going to be a tough race for President Trump as well,

404
00:20:37,280 --> 00:20:39,359
Speaker 5: so it's definitely gonna be a challenge.

405
00:20:42,880 --> 00:20:44,600
Speaker 2: Senator Rickets appreciate you being with us.

406
00:20:44,760 --> 00:20:49,840
Speaker 4: The Republicans had a chance to change the situation of

407
00:20:49,920 --> 00:20:53,760
Speaker 4: the Omaha District and didn't. Is that correct? And what

408
00:20:54,119 --> 00:20:55,720
Speaker 4: I mean, what can you tell us about that? Because

409
00:20:55,720 --> 00:20:58,720
Speaker 4: for a lot of people, it's they have the power

410
00:20:58,760 --> 00:21:00,320
Speaker 4: to change it. It was a part of and move

411
00:21:00,320 --> 00:21:02,480
Speaker 4: when Democrats did it. Why not set it right and

412
00:21:02,480 --> 00:21:04,480
Speaker 4: put it in line with a vast majority of the

413
00:21:04,560 --> 00:21:05,720
Speaker 4: rest of states.

414
00:21:06,560 --> 00:21:10,320
Speaker 5: Yeah, absolutely, Well, it's something that we tried when I

415
00:21:10,359 --> 00:21:13,199
Speaker 5: was governor. We attempted to do it every year I

416
00:21:13,280 --> 00:21:15,760
Speaker 5: was governor, tried to get a change back to winter

417
00:21:15,800 --> 00:21:17,800
Speaker 5: take call, which is what forty eight other states do,

418
00:21:18,720 --> 00:21:21,840
Speaker 5: and we always got blocked by the Democrats. So in

419
00:21:21,880 --> 00:21:24,919
Speaker 5: our one house legislature, we have a fillbuster rule, so

420
00:21:24,960 --> 00:21:26,680
Speaker 5: you need to get thirty three of the forty nine

421
00:21:26,720 --> 00:21:31,200
Speaker 5: centers to pass anything that's controversial, and the Democrats always

422
00:21:31,200 --> 00:21:33,800
Speaker 5: had enough votes to be able to block us from

423
00:21:33,800 --> 00:21:35,960
Speaker 5: getting it done when I was governor. And sadly it's

424
00:21:35,960 --> 00:21:39,040
Speaker 5: the same thing with Governor Pillan. We did have a

425
00:21:39,080 --> 00:21:43,240
Speaker 5: Democrat reregistered as Republican, but he basically changed his party registration.

426
00:21:43,440 --> 00:21:45,359
Speaker 5: It's not a philosophy, and so he would not go

427
00:21:45,400 --> 00:21:46,960
Speaker 5: along and put out a letter saying he was not

428
00:21:47,000 --> 00:21:50,040
Speaker 5: going to vote for winner take hall and so we

429
00:21:50,080 --> 00:21:52,119
Speaker 5: did not have the thirty three votes we needed to

430
00:21:52,160 --> 00:21:54,760
Speaker 5: be able to get that changed this year. Something we're

431
00:21:54,800 --> 00:21:56,960
Speaker 5: going to have to keep trying and just get work.

432
00:21:57,080 --> 00:22:00,000
Speaker 4: Waits. That's really important because I haven't heard that said anywhere.

433
00:22:00,119 --> 00:22:03,040
Speaker 4: You basically have a stealth Democrat with an R by

434
00:22:03,119 --> 00:22:06,080
Speaker 4: his name who is blocking the change to a winner

435
00:22:06,119 --> 00:22:09,440
Speaker 4: take all electoral college in Nebraska, and that sounds like

436
00:22:09,480 --> 00:22:10,360
Speaker 4: what's going on here?

437
00:22:11,200 --> 00:22:14,160
Speaker 5: Well, he's not a stealth Democrat. Everybody knows he's a Democrat.

438
00:22:14,760 --> 00:22:17,320
Speaker 4: Well well yeah, you guys all know. The rest of

439
00:22:17,359 --> 00:22:20,199
Speaker 4: the country, though, is all thinking, wait, a Republican block this?

440
00:22:21,920 --> 00:22:23,560
Speaker 5: Yeah, okay, well from that's that point. Yeah, But he

441
00:22:23,640 --> 00:22:27,280
Speaker 5: just reregisters as a Republican this year. So it was

442
00:22:27,320 --> 00:22:30,040
Speaker 5: not like a you know, he did this a while ago.

443
00:22:30,400 --> 00:22:33,199
Speaker 5: And when I was governor, for example, I served with him,

444
00:22:33,200 --> 00:22:35,000
Speaker 5: he was in the legislature, and he was always a Democrat.

445
00:22:35,000 --> 00:22:37,640
Speaker 5: When I was there, so again it was not shocking.

446
00:22:37,680 --> 00:22:39,400
Speaker 5: We made a run at him, tried to get him

447
00:22:39,400 --> 00:22:42,360
Speaker 5: to go along with it, but I said he'd like change,

448
00:22:42,400 --> 00:22:44,280
Speaker 5: changed his party registration, but not a philosophy.

449
00:22:45,960 --> 00:22:47,920
Speaker 1: Okay, so let's go in. We also have a big

450
00:22:48,000 --> 00:22:50,960
Speaker 1: Senate race. And for people who may not be paying

451
00:22:51,000 --> 00:22:52,520
Speaker 1: a lot of attention, I know a lot of our

452
00:22:52,560 --> 00:22:55,959
Speaker 1: audience is. But in Nebraska you can speak to this.

453
00:22:56,280 --> 00:22:58,439
Speaker 1: You know, the difference between being the majority and the

454
00:22:58,480 --> 00:23:02,520
Speaker 1: minority huge different. West Virginia is going to flip. Thank

455
00:23:02,560 --> 00:23:06,040
Speaker 1: you West Virginians. Ohio, Bernie Marino is looking like he

456
00:23:06,080 --> 00:23:08,879
Speaker 1: has a really good chance of beating Sharad Brown. Tim

457
00:23:08,880 --> 00:23:11,960
Speaker 1: Shah we've had on the show quite a lot, is

458
00:23:11,960 --> 00:23:16,040
Speaker 1: looking very good to beat. John Tester got competitive races

459
00:23:16,040 --> 00:23:20,720
Speaker 1: in Pennsylvania, Michigan, and Wisconsin that could be going our way.

460
00:23:21,280 --> 00:23:23,639
Speaker 1: What about Nebraska? What do people need to know there?

461
00:23:23,680 --> 00:23:26,760
Speaker 1: And what is the difference between my majority and minority

462
00:23:26,760 --> 00:23:27,720
Speaker 1: from your perspective?

463
00:23:29,000 --> 00:23:33,399
Speaker 5: Yeah, so I am actually in cycled. So my story

464
00:23:33,560 --> 00:23:36,760
Speaker 5: is that I was governor from twenty fifteen to twenty

465
00:23:36,800 --> 00:23:40,160
Speaker 5: twenty three, and then Ben SaaS stepped down as our

466
00:23:40,600 --> 00:23:43,920
Speaker 5: junior senator and governor Pillen appointed me to the position.

467
00:23:44,280 --> 00:23:47,760
Speaker 5: So I'm running in a special election this year to

468
00:23:47,800 --> 00:23:49,879
Speaker 5: be able to faceh out the last two years of

469
00:23:49,920 --> 00:23:52,160
Speaker 5: Ben Sasa's term and then would have to run again

470
00:23:52,200 --> 00:23:54,959
Speaker 5: in twenty twenty six for a six year term and

471
00:23:54,960 --> 00:23:57,879
Speaker 5: then the regular cycle. Deb Fisher is up for election.

472
00:23:57,920 --> 00:23:59,760
Speaker 5: So we actually have both our Senate seats are up

473
00:23:59,760 --> 00:24:02,600
Speaker 5: in the rask of this year. Okay, and dev has

474
00:24:02,680 --> 00:24:05,920
Speaker 5: a tough race because she's running against an independent who

475
00:24:05,920 --> 00:24:08,399
Speaker 5: has got Soorrow's money behind her. He's out spending her

476
00:24:08,440 --> 00:24:11,520
Speaker 5: on TV two to one, and all the public polling

477
00:24:11,560 --> 00:24:13,640
Speaker 5: I've seen shows that they're pretty much in a dead

478
00:24:13,680 --> 00:24:16,000
Speaker 5: heat right now. So we got to work to get

479
00:24:16,040 --> 00:24:19,600
Speaker 5: the word out to all Republicans, say hey, you got

480
00:24:19,600 --> 00:24:23,280
Speaker 5: to vote for deb Fisher. This guy Dan Osborne is

481
00:24:23,480 --> 00:24:26,439
Speaker 5: an independent, but he's really a Democrat. He's getting you know,

482
00:24:26,960 --> 00:24:29,880
Speaker 5: Acblue is behind him. He was in Hollywood last week

483
00:24:29,960 --> 00:24:32,840
Speaker 5: raising money. I mentioned the Soro's money already. I mean,

484
00:24:32,920 --> 00:24:35,440
Speaker 5: this is the profile of a Democrat, right and he's

485
00:24:35,480 --> 00:24:38,160
Speaker 5: gonna even though he hasn't said, I'm quite certain he's

486
00:24:38,160 --> 00:24:40,200
Speaker 5: going to caucus with the Democrats. So to your point

487
00:24:40,240 --> 00:24:42,119
Speaker 5: about getting control of the Senate. It would make it

488
00:24:42,160 --> 00:24:45,320
Speaker 5: that much harder if Dan Osborn were to win. So

489
00:24:45,359 --> 00:24:48,480
Speaker 5: we need deb Fisher with and she just has to

490
00:24:48,520 --> 00:24:51,240
Speaker 5: get out there. We need to get Republicans on board.

491
00:24:51,359 --> 00:24:54,080
Speaker 5: We need to get Republicans to you know, come back

492
00:24:54,119 --> 00:24:56,520
Speaker 5: to the Republican Party. And remember that dev is the

493
00:24:56,520 --> 00:24:59,320
Speaker 5: conservative Republican in this race, not Dan Osborne. He may

494
00:24:59,720 --> 00:25:03,480
Speaker 5: have nice, slick commercials where he talks about being independent,

495
00:25:03,560 --> 00:25:05,159
Speaker 5: but at the end of the day, we need to

496
00:25:05,200 --> 00:25:07,359
Speaker 5: make sure that we're taking control of the Senate for

497
00:25:07,440 --> 00:25:10,680
Speaker 5: two reasons. One either to God forbid Harris gets elected,

498
00:25:11,119 --> 00:25:14,640
Speaker 5: the firewall against the crazy things she's going to want

499
00:25:14,640 --> 00:25:17,639
Speaker 5: to do. Or in the case that we get President

500
00:25:17,640 --> 00:25:19,760
Speaker 5: Trump elected, we need to move fast to be able

501
00:25:19,800 --> 00:25:23,840
Speaker 5: to work on his agenda and quickly undo all the

502
00:25:23,920 --> 00:25:27,520
Speaker 5: damage that Biden Harris administration is done and do things

503
00:25:27,600 --> 00:25:30,920
Speaker 5: like get the twenty seventeen tax cuts, you know, reupt

504
00:25:30,960 --> 00:25:34,640
Speaker 5: and we need to make sure we'll get his people confirm,

505
00:25:34,720 --> 00:25:37,119
Speaker 5: you know, get his cabinet members in. So this is

506
00:25:37,160 --> 00:25:40,359
Speaker 5: a big deal and Republicans of Nebraska really need to,

507
00:25:40,880 --> 00:25:42,919
Speaker 5: you know, make sure that they're voting for deb Fisher

508
00:25:42,960 --> 00:25:45,119
Speaker 5: and turn out and vote because this is this is

509
00:25:45,160 --> 00:25:46,280
Speaker 5: an important part of the election.

510
00:25:47,600 --> 00:25:51,560
Speaker 4: Speaking of the Senator Ricketts of Nebraska, Senator, this is fascinating.

511
00:25:51,640 --> 00:25:55,640
Speaker 4: You know, we haven't seen very much coverage at all

512
00:25:56,240 --> 00:25:58,280
Speaker 4: of what's going on here in the Senate races that

513
00:25:58,280 --> 00:26:01,720
Speaker 4: you've been talking about. And I got to say, is

514
00:26:01,760 --> 00:26:05,040
Speaker 4: this is this one of these moments where the national

515
00:26:05,119 --> 00:26:09,080
Speaker 4: level GOP and even more right leading media just a

516
00:26:09,119 --> 00:26:11,720
Speaker 4: little little asleep at the wheel on this one. It

517
00:26:11,800 --> 00:26:14,840
Speaker 4: sounds like you got a Soros back Democrat pretending to

518
00:26:14,840 --> 00:26:17,320
Speaker 4: be an independent trying to steal what should be a

519
00:26:17,440 --> 00:26:20,080
Speaker 4: very winnable Senate seed. I mean, that's that's something we

520
00:26:20,160 --> 00:26:21,360
Speaker 4: got to raise the alarm over.

521
00:26:22,560 --> 00:26:26,840
Speaker 5: Yeah. Absolutely, it's something that we certainly has kind of

522
00:26:26,880 --> 00:26:29,320
Speaker 5: actually come upon us relatively quickly, like within the last

523
00:26:29,359 --> 00:26:32,800
Speaker 5: six weeks or so, because that's because that's when Osma's

524
00:26:32,800 --> 00:26:34,240
Speaker 5: been dumping money in the race. I mean, he's out

525
00:26:34,240 --> 00:26:36,760
Speaker 5: spending Depth two to one, and we always get outspent

526
00:26:37,040 --> 00:26:39,320
Speaker 5: on the air. Right in most of these competitive races,

527
00:26:39,359 --> 00:26:41,600
Speaker 5: Democrats always have more money. I mean, this is a

528
00:26:41,640 --> 00:26:44,480
Speaker 5: party of the rich elites, so they're getting all the

529
00:26:44,560 --> 00:26:47,960
Speaker 5: sorrows money. And you know, Tom Steyer and everybody else.

530
00:26:48,600 --> 00:26:50,280
Speaker 5: And in this case, you know, the thing to remember

531
00:26:50,280 --> 00:26:53,480
Speaker 5: about Nebraska is we're also a very popular state and

532
00:26:53,840 --> 00:26:56,960
Speaker 5: we've had that history here for one hundred years. So

533
00:26:57,600 --> 00:26:59,680
Speaker 5: when somebody comes along and he's got the nice slick

534
00:26:59,720 --> 00:27:02,880
Speaker 5: ad and says he's an independent, that does appeal to Nebraskans.

535
00:27:03,119 --> 00:27:06,560
Speaker 5: And that's why we've got to remind, especially our conservative Republicans,

536
00:27:06,880 --> 00:27:09,520
Speaker 5: that you can't be fooled by this guy's ads. We

537
00:27:09,560 --> 00:27:11,440
Speaker 5: need to vote for the conservative Republican and that is

538
00:27:11,480 --> 00:27:14,160
Speaker 5: Deubb Fisher. It's not going to be the other guy.

539
00:27:14,960 --> 00:27:17,360
Speaker 5: And of course the asbore Nane is very popular here

540
00:27:17,400 --> 00:27:20,920
Speaker 5: in Nebraska because Tom Osborne, you know, got some national

541
00:27:21,000 --> 00:27:24,520
Speaker 5: championship back in the nineteen nineties and football. But this

542
00:27:24,600 --> 00:27:27,000
Speaker 5: is the guy who's not related it not anybody related.

543
00:27:28,640 --> 00:27:30,000
Speaker 2: That's actually super important.

544
00:27:30,040 --> 00:27:32,520
Speaker 1: Again, it goes to me trusting college football fans more

545
00:27:32,560 --> 00:27:34,159
Speaker 1: than anyone. You guys are having a little bit of

546
00:27:34,200 --> 00:27:38,480
Speaker 1: a resurgence with the Nebraska Cornhusker program. Big game coming

547
00:27:38,560 --> 00:27:40,800
Speaker 1: up soon. I think you're what five and one or

548
00:27:40,840 --> 00:27:42,960
Speaker 1: four and one only one loss one?

549
00:27:43,040 --> 00:27:45,800
Speaker 5: One? Yeah, we're five and one actually looking pretty good

550
00:27:45,800 --> 00:27:48,840
Speaker 5: at the Big ten right now, and We got Indiana

551
00:27:48,920 --> 00:27:50,280
Speaker 5: coming up in a couple of weeks, so that's gonna

552
00:27:50,280 --> 00:27:52,000
Speaker 5: be a big game. We win that game, then we'll

553
00:27:52,000 --> 00:27:53,720
Speaker 5: be Bowl of for the first time in a long time.

554
00:27:53,800 --> 00:27:55,320
Speaker 5: So we're really excited this year.

555
00:27:55,840 --> 00:27:57,240
Speaker 2: All of that rolling together.

556
00:27:57,440 --> 00:27:59,880
Speaker 1: So again, like just to kind of bring it home,

557
00:28:00,400 --> 00:28:04,520
Speaker 1: you've got people who are not actually in the best

558
00:28:04,560 --> 00:28:07,840
Speaker 1: interest of the country trying, basically, i'll say it, to

559
00:28:07,960 --> 00:28:11,480
Speaker 1: steal a race that would not be winnable if this

560
00:28:11,600 --> 00:28:14,280
Speaker 1: guy were running as a Democrat, because I think you

561
00:28:14,280 --> 00:28:19,199
Speaker 1: would acknowledge and probably recognize too, the Democrat brand in

562
00:28:19,200 --> 00:28:22,480
Speaker 1: the heartland is really toxic. So they're trying to do

563
00:28:22,520 --> 00:28:25,560
Speaker 1: this sneakily by running this guy as an independent. I

564
00:28:25,600 --> 00:28:27,520
Speaker 1: think that's important for Nebraskans to know.

565
00:28:28,640 --> 00:28:31,280
Speaker 5: That is important for Nebraskas to know. In fact, the

566
00:28:31,520 --> 00:28:34,159
Speaker 5: Democrats have said this that they think the way to

567
00:28:34,160 --> 00:28:36,040
Speaker 5: win in red states is by running an independent, and

568
00:28:36,040 --> 00:28:38,480
Speaker 5: they're trying it here in Nebraska. And what we have

569
00:28:38,520 --> 00:28:40,200
Speaker 5: to do is show them, no, this is a bad idea.

570
00:28:40,560 --> 00:28:42,000
Speaker 5: You're not actually going to be able to win in

571
00:28:42,280 --> 00:28:45,760
Speaker 5: states like Nebraska because we actually are conservative And to

572
00:28:45,840 --> 00:28:48,120
Speaker 5: your point, the Democrats have gone so far left if

573
00:28:48,120 --> 00:28:50,520
Speaker 5: you look back in the nineteen nineties here in Nebraska,

574
00:28:50,840 --> 00:28:55,160
Speaker 5: all of our statewide elected offices, we're actually Democrats. Yeah,

575
00:28:55,200 --> 00:28:57,480
Speaker 5: and the Democrats have gone so far left with the

576
00:28:57,520 --> 00:29:00,520
Speaker 5: things they're doing. You know, they want abortion up until

577
00:29:00,800 --> 00:29:02,760
Speaker 5: the moment of birth. That's what this guy is running against,

578
00:29:02,800 --> 00:29:06,600
Speaker 5: Mike Congressman, you know, is doing. He wants abortion up

579
00:29:06,600 --> 00:29:08,520
Speaker 5: into the moment birth. Won't say when he would cut

580
00:29:08,520 --> 00:29:12,000
Speaker 5: off abortion. They're just crazy radical on that. And we

581
00:29:12,080 --> 00:29:16,440
Speaker 5: know all the like boys playing girls' sports. And of

582
00:29:16,440 --> 00:29:18,840
Speaker 5: course the spending is just out of control, the weakness

583
00:29:18,840 --> 00:29:22,160
Speaker 5: they show on the international stage, inflation, the open southern border,

584
00:29:22,480 --> 00:29:24,440
Speaker 5: I mean, all these things that Democrats are doing are

585
00:29:24,520 --> 00:29:27,040
Speaker 5: just not what Nebraska's want. And that's what you're going

586
00:29:27,080 --> 00:29:28,880
Speaker 5: to get with Dan Osbourne if you if you vote

587
00:29:28,880 --> 00:29:31,680
Speaker 5: for him, that you're going to get high prices and

588
00:29:31,800 --> 00:29:34,280
Speaker 5: open borders, which is what this administration has been all about.

589
00:29:34,360 --> 00:29:36,920
Speaker 5: You know, Harris has been all about this open border,

590
00:29:37,000 --> 00:29:39,120
Speaker 5: high prices, Like, don't vote for more of that with

591
00:29:39,160 --> 00:29:42,440
Speaker 5: this guy who's citing the Independent is really a.

592
00:29:42,400 --> 00:29:45,120
Speaker 2: Democrat, no doubt. The Senator.

593
00:29:45,160 --> 00:29:48,560
Speaker 1: We appreciate it, and good luck to the corn Huskers

594
00:29:48,560 --> 00:29:51,640
Speaker 1: getting Bowl eligible and fighting their way potentially into some

595
00:29:51,640 --> 00:29:54,840
Speaker 1: Big ten competition. A lot of fun to watch them resurging.

596
00:29:54,920 --> 00:29:57,880
Speaker 1: But remember this is not Tom Osborne's relative, this is

597
00:29:57,920 --> 00:30:01,560
Speaker 1: not your daddy's Nebraska Cornhusker can thank you for the time.

598
00:30:02,600 --> 00:30:04,440
Speaker 5: Great, thanks a lot, appreciate it, Thanks for having me on.

599
00:30:04,960 --> 00:30:07,760
Speaker 4: I know I've been very impressed by the corn Husker defense.

600
00:30:07,840 --> 00:30:11,080
Speaker 4: Clay also the offense very good.

601
00:30:11,840 --> 00:30:14,200
Speaker 1: You're wearing your red because you knew we were talking

602
00:30:14,240 --> 00:30:18,560
Speaker 1: to Nebraska Cornhusker fans today. It was particular with that's

603
00:30:18,600 --> 00:30:22,880
Speaker 1: I think the first visit from from a senator from

604
00:30:22,880 --> 00:30:23,800
Speaker 1: Nebraska on the program.

605
00:30:23,880 --> 00:30:25,040
Speaker 2: So we'll do whatever we can to help.

606
00:30:25,080 --> 00:30:28,440
Speaker 4: I know that Senate race issue that have you heard

607
00:30:28,520 --> 00:30:32,080
Speaker 4: that honestly talked about on any shows anywhere. They're trying

608
00:30:32,080 --> 00:30:35,760
Speaker 4: to hide a seat playing site. That's exactly they're They're

609
00:30:35,800 --> 00:30:38,640
Speaker 4: doing it quietly because that's how they know they could

610
00:30:38,640 --> 00:30:41,719
Speaker 4: pull it off, because there's no way that a Republican

611
00:30:41,800 --> 00:30:45,520
Speaker 4: shouldn't win a Senate seat statewide race in Nebraska. Well,

612
00:30:46,320 --> 00:30:50,480
Speaker 4: you know they're very sneaky. Soros money in there, the

613
00:30:50,520 --> 00:30:50,960
Speaker 4: whole thing.

614
00:30:51,480 --> 00:30:54,360
Speaker 1: Be careful again, just ask the question, who are you

615
00:30:54,400 --> 00:30:59,000
Speaker 1: going to caut us with independence. In states like Nebraska,

616
00:30:59,040 --> 00:31:01,280
Speaker 1: they run as independent. And this is what Joe Manchin did,

617
00:31:01,320 --> 00:31:04,160
Speaker 1: this is what Kirsten Cinema did. They eventually said, oh,

618
00:31:04,160 --> 00:31:07,160
Speaker 1: I'm an independent, but they continue to caucus with the Democrats. Well,

619
00:31:07,160 --> 00:31:10,120
Speaker 1: an independent who caucuses with the Democrat is a Democrat.

620
00:31:10,520 --> 00:31:12,880
Speaker 1: Don't let them hide from you what they are trying

Speaker 4: Welcome back into Buck oh Boy, the latest here on

656
00:33:05,480 --> 00:33:10,880
Speaker 4: the hurricane is troubling. Hurricane Milton going to be making

657
00:33:11,200 --> 00:33:15,360
Speaker 4: landfall in two days on Wednesday, I believe, is when

658
00:33:15,360 --> 00:33:19,880
Speaker 4: it is slated, and we are seeing that it is

659
00:33:19,920 --> 00:33:24,920
Speaker 4: already a Category five with winds of one hundred and

660
00:33:24,960 --> 00:33:27,680
Speaker 4: seventy five miles an hour, and it is on a

661
00:33:27,760 --> 00:33:33,840
Speaker 4: track to pretty much have a bullseye on Tampa. So

662
00:33:34,800 --> 00:33:38,840
Speaker 4: we're still very much dealing with the aftermath of Hurricane

663
00:33:38,880 --> 00:33:43,920
Speaker 4: Helene up in the area of western North Carolina, parts

664
00:33:43,960 --> 00:33:47,720
Speaker 4: of Georgia, eastern Tennessee. And it looks like Florida, I mean,

665
00:33:48,480 --> 00:33:50,960
Speaker 4: might get hit really hard here. So we'll continue to

666
00:33:50,960 --> 00:33:54,240
Speaker 4: watch this and I just hope everyone's preparing and I'm

667
00:33:54,240 --> 00:33:57,560
Speaker 4: here in Florida too. Miami's gonna get hit with storm,

668
00:33:57,600 --> 00:34:01,080
Speaker 4: but obviously not right now, at least a good turn track,

669
00:34:02,160 --> 00:34:02,720
Speaker 4: but not.

670
00:34:02,760 --> 00:34:05,719
Speaker 2: As severely as some of the Gulf Coast area.

671
00:34:06,400 --> 00:34:10,400
Speaker 4: Patrick is a truck driver from Omaha, but he's on

672
00:34:10,440 --> 00:34:12,040
Speaker 4: the road near Indianapolis.

673
00:34:12,080 --> 00:34:12,960
Speaker 2: What's going on? Patrick?

674
00:34:14,480 --> 00:34:14,600
Speaker 3: All?

675
00:34:14,600 --> 00:34:18,280
Speaker 7: Good morning, joentlemen. I was listening to Peter Rikittsa, our senator,

676
00:34:18,280 --> 00:34:21,160
Speaker 7: and I actually have a bit of a different perspective

677
00:34:21,360 --> 00:34:26,480
Speaker 7: on how the electoral votes should be done. And I'm

678
00:34:26,480 --> 00:34:28,680
Speaker 7: my humble opinion, the other forty eight are doing it wrong.

679
00:34:28,719 --> 00:34:32,799
Speaker 7: And here's why. When you have all or nothing, you

680
00:34:32,840 --> 00:34:37,080
Speaker 7: have people that are disenfranchised. You know, the out upstate

681
00:34:37,120 --> 00:34:41,600
Speaker 7: New York, rural Illinois, rural California. Their vote really doesn't

682
00:34:41,640 --> 00:34:44,200
Speaker 7: matter because it's so dominated, you know, by the big

683
00:34:44,239 --> 00:34:46,400
Speaker 7: cities that are going to vote blue. But if you

684
00:34:46,480 --> 00:34:49,760
Speaker 7: have a split vote like Nebraskan MainView, you get people

685
00:34:49,760 --> 00:34:51,960
Speaker 7: that are involved that you get people that are saying, hey,

686
00:34:52,000 --> 00:34:54,880
Speaker 7: I do want to research and see who my presidential

687
00:34:54,880 --> 00:34:57,640
Speaker 7: options are. But you know, if I'm a farmer in president,

688
00:34:57,800 --> 00:34:59,840
Speaker 7: there's no way that Trump's gonna have a chance. But

689
00:35:00,120 --> 00:35:03,319
Speaker 7: if my congressional district goes red, then at least my

690
00:35:03,400 --> 00:35:06,880
Speaker 7: electoral vote representing Mike Congressman goes toward Trump. And what

691
00:35:06,920 --> 00:35:10,200
Speaker 7: will happen over time is that the low information voter

692
00:35:10,280 --> 00:35:12,600
Speaker 7: is going to die because the people are going to

693
00:35:12,680 --> 00:35:17,520
Speaker 7: be informed. And I think, humbly, yeah, go ahead.

694
00:35:17,800 --> 00:35:20,120
Speaker 2: No, you go ahead, you go ahead. We got three hours.

695
00:35:20,120 --> 00:35:20,839
Speaker 2: What do you what do you have?

696
00:35:22,719 --> 00:35:25,200
Speaker 7: Well, again, like I say, it's it's a way to

697
00:35:25,239 --> 00:35:28,000
Speaker 7: get I think more people involved, because I hate to

698
00:35:28,080 --> 00:35:31,680
Speaker 7: think you know that certainly. You know people in Grand

699
00:35:31,760 --> 00:35:33,080
Speaker 7: Island or Scott's buff Nebraska.

700
00:35:33,120 --> 00:35:34,280
Speaker 5: That's as red as it gets.

701
00:35:34,360 --> 00:35:36,760
Speaker 7: But the guy, oh, it's it's purple.

702
00:35:36,840 --> 00:35:36,960
Speaker 6: Right.

703
00:35:37,360 --> 00:35:40,800
Speaker 4: So here here's my concern with So, but what you

704
00:35:41,440 --> 00:35:43,080
Speaker 4: is just a national popular vote?

705
00:35:44,280 --> 00:35:46,359
Speaker 2: No, sir, Yeah, I mean that's not I get.

706
00:35:46,480 --> 00:35:49,239
Speaker 1: I get that you're saying by congressional district you want

707
00:35:49,239 --> 00:35:54,480
Speaker 1: to do it, But that's a national popular vote effectively.

708
00:35:53,200 --> 00:35:55,600
Speaker 7: No, absolutely not, because we would still have the two

709
00:35:55,800 --> 00:35:58,879
Speaker 7: votes for the senator seats going red, no matter what.

710
00:35:59,360 --> 00:36:01,719
Speaker 7: You would still have a bit of a chilt that

711
00:36:01,800 --> 00:36:04,800
Speaker 7: would still benefit individual states.

712
00:36:05,440 --> 00:36:09,040
Speaker 1: It's okay, So you're not saying by every congressional district

713
00:36:09,320 --> 00:36:12,359
Speaker 1: you're saying that you want. I mean, it's it's a

714
00:36:12,360 --> 00:36:16,080
Speaker 1: complicated argument. We'll talk about it a little bit more

715
00:36:16,120 --> 00:36:16,959
Speaker 1: when we come back.

716
00:36:17,160 --> 00:36:19,560
Speaker 4: I mean, the problem, the problem is that this exists

717
00:36:19,600 --> 00:36:21,799
Speaker 4: almost nowhere, and for it to exist in a red

718
00:36:21,840 --> 00:36:25,680
Speaker 4: state and a razor thin election is just bad politics.

719
00:36:25,760 --> 00:36:25,880
Speaker 5: Right.

720
00:36:25,960 --> 00:36:28,719
Speaker 2: No, So philosophically, one thing.

721
00:36:28,880 --> 00:36:32,319
Speaker 4: Philosophically, we could change our federalist systems dramatically, Clay, I

722
00:36:32,320 --> 00:36:34,640
Speaker 4: don't want the outlier to be the difference between a

723
00:36:34,719 --> 00:36:38,080
Speaker 4: Kamala and Trump victory this time around, we could work.

724
00:36:38,160 --> 00:36:41,680
Speaker 4: We could work on the long term philosophical side another

725
00:36:41,760 --> 00:36:42,560
Speaker 4: election cycle.

726
00:36:42,600 --> 00:36:42,839
Speaker 2: Maybe.

727
00:36:42,960 --> 00:36:46,200
Speaker 1: What also, what he's arguing for is basically just the

728
00:36:46,239 --> 00:36:47,919
Speaker 1: House of Representatives right
