1 00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:03,320 Speaker 1: Welcome to today's edition of the Clay Travis and Buck 2 00:00:03,360 --> 00:00:07,000 Speaker 1: Sexton Show podcast. Second hour of Clay in Buckets going 3 00:00:07,400 --> 00:00:10,200 Speaker 1: right now. Thanks for being with us eight two eight 4 00:00:10,240 --> 00:00:12,719 Speaker 1: two to eight eight two on those lines. If there's 5 00:00:12,760 --> 00:00:16,959 Speaker 1: anything really interesting going on on the airwaves when it 6 00:00:16,960 --> 00:00:20,599 Speaker 1: comes to political ads or just last minute dynamics and 7 00:00:20,760 --> 00:00:23,920 Speaker 1: some of these key races, Colin, let us know and 8 00:00:24,400 --> 00:00:26,239 Speaker 1: we'll try to get some of you in on this 9 00:00:26,280 --> 00:00:28,560 Speaker 1: discussion later to sour in the next hour as well. 10 00:00:29,240 --> 00:00:33,320 Speaker 1: We have a Tiffany Smiley is going to be joining 11 00:00:33,400 --> 00:00:37,400 Speaker 1: us today at one thirty eastern, so just about thirty minutes, 12 00:00:37,440 --> 00:00:43,479 Speaker 1: which is fantastic. She's putting the fear of a major 13 00:00:43,640 --> 00:00:48,640 Speaker 1: loss into the Democrats up in Washington State. But you know, 14 00:00:48,920 --> 00:00:52,839 Speaker 1: Clay reminded me, because we have conversations whenever we go 15 00:00:52,880 --> 00:00:55,440 Speaker 1: into a commercial break and we do a little reset, 16 00:00:55,680 --> 00:00:59,880 Speaker 1: reminded me that Joe Biden is going to be speaking tonight, 17 00:01:01,560 --> 00:01:03,960 Speaker 1: and I did. I had forgotten this. I said, wait, 18 00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:06,840 Speaker 1: what's the speech about? This? From the Washington Post. Biden 19 00:01:06,959 --> 00:01:12,720 Speaker 1: is tonight delivering a speech on democracy near the Capitol. 20 00:01:13,400 --> 00:01:18,120 Speaker 1: The speeches is, according to the White House, about preserving 21 00:01:18,200 --> 00:01:22,360 Speaker 1: and protecting our democracy. And that's also the d n 22 00:01:22,400 --> 00:01:26,319 Speaker 1: C Democratic National Committee saying that he's going to address 23 00:01:26,400 --> 00:01:29,920 Speaker 1: the threat of election deniers and those who seek to 24 00:01:30,160 --> 00:01:35,880 Speaker 1: undermine faith in voting and democracy. Okay, okay, oh, Now, 25 00:01:36,800 --> 00:01:39,840 Speaker 1: I were talking about political malpractice before and the read 26 00:01:40,160 --> 00:01:44,880 Speaker 1: tsunami that we believe is likely coming. Clay, I have 27 00:01:44,920 --> 00:01:46,880 Speaker 1: a theory I want to test out. Testing out a 28 00:01:46,920 --> 00:01:49,920 Speaker 1: theory on air is always a little bit a little 29 00:01:49,960 --> 00:01:54,240 Speaker 1: bit risky because I haven't I haven't sanity tested this 30 00:01:54,240 --> 00:01:56,120 Speaker 1: one with anybody yet, but I was just thinking this. 31 00:01:56,160 --> 00:01:57,720 Speaker 1: I want to put this out there for you and 32 00:01:58,320 --> 00:02:01,720 Speaker 1: you and you know, millions of our closest friends. I 33 00:02:02,640 --> 00:02:06,000 Speaker 1: think that to my point about the the Democrat apparatus 34 00:02:06,160 --> 00:02:09,440 Speaker 1: and fighting for the last war, not the one they're in, 35 00:02:10,240 --> 00:02:12,040 Speaker 1: I might have to add to that. I think they're 36 00:02:12,040 --> 00:02:16,440 Speaker 1: fighting for the next one by preparing for the last 37 00:02:16,520 --> 00:02:20,000 Speaker 1: one and not worried about this midterm election so much. 38 00:02:20,080 --> 00:02:24,639 Speaker 1: Here's what I mean to me. All this democracy denial 39 00:02:24,840 --> 00:02:28,600 Speaker 1: stuff and or election denial and democracy under peril. Yes, 40 00:02:28,680 --> 00:02:31,360 Speaker 1: it plays to their base and they're playing defense in 41 00:02:31,400 --> 00:02:33,880 Speaker 1: places like Washington State. We're gonna talk to Tiffany Smiley 42 00:02:34,120 --> 00:02:36,400 Speaker 1: they need Bass turnout in a big way in some 43 00:02:36,440 --> 00:02:39,640 Speaker 1: of these races, or else it's going to be a total, 44 00:02:40,240 --> 00:02:44,880 Speaker 1: a total annihilation at the ballot box. I think they're 45 00:02:44,919 --> 00:02:48,120 Speaker 1: sticking with this because I think that they they in 46 00:02:48,200 --> 00:02:50,880 Speaker 1: their minds, Okay, maybe it didn't work for the mid terms. 47 00:02:51,240 --> 00:02:53,880 Speaker 1: They're gearing up to run against Trump. That's what I 48 00:02:54,560 --> 00:02:57,120 Speaker 1: think it's Biden. But even even if I know you 49 00:02:57,160 --> 00:03:00,280 Speaker 1: and I don't see, don't see that as play out 50 00:03:00,320 --> 00:03:02,960 Speaker 1: the same way. I think that one of the reasons 51 00:03:03,040 --> 00:03:06,720 Speaker 1: they haven't shifted away from this because otherwise it looks 52 00:03:07,480 --> 00:03:09,720 Speaker 1: so inept claim. So you see what I'm saying. What 53 00:03:09,760 --> 00:03:12,239 Speaker 1: do you think about this idea that the reason they're 54 00:03:12,240 --> 00:03:15,880 Speaker 1: still focused on preserving our democracy in January six is 55 00:03:15,919 --> 00:03:19,880 Speaker 1: that it's not about the midterms. They're fighting the presidential election. 56 00:03:20,200 --> 00:03:23,960 Speaker 1: Even now, at the expense of being smart about the midterms, 57 00:03:24,240 --> 00:03:27,400 Speaker 1: I think that they definitely believe that their strategy to 58 00:03:27,440 --> 00:03:32,200 Speaker 1: win reelection in twenty four is to claim that Republicans 59 00:03:32,400 --> 00:03:36,320 Speaker 1: are direct threats to democracy because it tests well. But 60 00:03:36,440 --> 00:03:39,640 Speaker 1: I think also buck the bigger issue is what is 61 00:03:39,680 --> 00:03:43,080 Speaker 1: your sales pitch? Like I always try to take myself 62 00:03:43,160 --> 00:03:46,080 Speaker 1: out of the equation and just be as rational and 63 00:03:46,160 --> 00:03:48,880 Speaker 1: objective as possible, in the same way that you have 64 00:03:48,960 --> 00:03:51,720 Speaker 1: to be when you're a lawyer and you frequently represent 65 00:03:51,840 --> 00:03:54,880 Speaker 1: sides and you know you've got a bad case. What 66 00:03:55,000 --> 00:03:57,920 Speaker 1: was the best case that they can make. They tried 67 00:03:58,040 --> 00:04:02,080 Speaker 1: this like sort of haphazard Republicans will make inflation worse. 68 00:04:02,400 --> 00:04:06,480 Speaker 1: That definitely doesn't register. It's a bad argument. It doesn't 69 00:04:06,520 --> 00:04:08,960 Speaker 1: have any impact. They don't even want to pretend that 70 00:04:08,960 --> 00:04:11,640 Speaker 1: the border is an issue, so they legitimately can't address it. 71 00:04:11,960 --> 00:04:14,440 Speaker 1: You've seen them try sort of in another hand handed 72 00:04:14,440 --> 00:04:18,080 Speaker 1: fashion to say, actually, crimes not that bad. Those are 73 00:04:18,120 --> 00:04:22,159 Speaker 1: all really awful arguments, I think the only argument. And 74 00:04:22,200 --> 00:04:24,400 Speaker 1: then you even saw Joe Biden try to say, hey, 75 00:04:24,480 --> 00:04:27,360 Speaker 1: COVID's over. I don't think that was an accident. I 76 00:04:27,360 --> 00:04:29,680 Speaker 1: know they said, oh Biden misspoke or whatever. I think 77 00:04:29,680 --> 00:04:32,360 Speaker 1: that was a trial balloon to see if Joe Biden 78 00:04:32,400 --> 00:04:35,880 Speaker 1: could claim, hey, we got through COVID, now we can 79 00:04:35,920 --> 00:04:38,599 Speaker 1: solve all the other issues. But his base wouldn't even 80 00:04:38,600 --> 00:04:41,680 Speaker 1: allow him to make that argument, and so I think 81 00:04:41,720 --> 00:04:45,440 Speaker 1: they're left with the best of bad options, which is 82 00:04:45,480 --> 00:04:47,840 Speaker 1: the only way they can motivate their base. And I 83 00:04:47,920 --> 00:04:49,599 Speaker 1: think that's what this is about, because I think they've 84 00:04:49,600 --> 00:04:52,919 Speaker 1: recognized they've lost independence and they've lost Republicans for sure. 85 00:04:53,520 --> 00:04:56,800 Speaker 1: The only way they can motivate their base. The way 86 00:04:56,839 --> 00:05:00,800 Speaker 1: Joe Biden frankly got elected was Orange Man bad, and 87 00:05:00,839 --> 00:05:04,160 Speaker 1: I think ultimately he's going back to what worked before 88 00:05:04,640 --> 00:05:07,719 Speaker 1: because he can't think of any other argument now where 89 00:05:07,760 --> 00:05:10,080 Speaker 1: I would disagree with your thesis, which I think that's 90 00:05:10,120 --> 00:05:12,720 Speaker 1: the Biden intent. I believe what's going to happen is 91 00:05:12,760 --> 00:05:16,560 Speaker 1: we get the red tsunami. And I think almost immediately 92 00:05:16,600 --> 00:05:19,560 Speaker 1: after these final results come in, there will start to 93 00:05:19,600 --> 00:05:23,119 Speaker 1: be significant leaks from inside of the Democrat Party about 94 00:05:23,120 --> 00:05:25,600 Speaker 1: how awful Joe Biden is. Can I So for me, 95 00:05:26,160 --> 00:05:29,280 Speaker 1: it's not That's why I said the Democrat apparatus. I 96 00:05:29,320 --> 00:05:33,440 Speaker 1: think the Democrat Party, the DNC, CNN, all of them, 97 00:05:33,640 --> 00:05:37,000 Speaker 1: the Congress, and Democrats in Congress with the Jan six hearings. 98 00:05:37,400 --> 00:05:40,840 Speaker 1: I just think that they view this like the midterms 99 00:05:40,839 --> 00:05:43,160 Speaker 1: is a speed bump on the way to their eventual 100 00:05:43,240 --> 00:05:46,600 Speaker 1: class with Trump. Again, use that's the only thing. So 101 00:05:46,600 --> 00:05:48,600 Speaker 1: so whether or not Biden is the guy or not, 102 00:05:48,680 --> 00:05:52,000 Speaker 1: it almost doesn't really matter in this context because I 103 00:05:52,040 --> 00:05:54,239 Speaker 1: think they believe they're going to have to run against 104 00:05:54,240 --> 00:05:58,240 Speaker 1: Trump again, and so that has shaded and I think 105 00:05:58,279 --> 00:06:03,720 Speaker 1: really distorted dramatically. They're thinking about how this will play now, 106 00:06:03,920 --> 00:06:06,680 Speaker 1: because this is why you have these January sixth hearings, 107 00:06:06,720 --> 00:06:08,400 Speaker 1: this is why all this stuff is going on, and 108 00:06:08,440 --> 00:06:11,200 Speaker 1: this is why the Marlago raid, all these different issues. 109 00:06:11,440 --> 00:06:14,280 Speaker 1: They're still preparing for the fight against Trump in their 110 00:06:14,279 --> 00:06:16,839 Speaker 1: own minds. And you know, that's all assuming that Trump 111 00:06:16,920 --> 00:06:18,600 Speaker 1: is the candidate in the Republican side, which I think 112 00:06:18,640 --> 00:06:21,479 Speaker 1: people the betting odds are probably strongly in favor of that. 113 00:06:22,000 --> 00:06:24,719 Speaker 1: But I mean, clay otherwise they're just lunatics. And I 114 00:06:24,720 --> 00:06:27,160 Speaker 1: think they are lunatics at some level. But I you know, 115 00:06:27,440 --> 00:06:30,240 Speaker 1: they can be sneaky, they can be cunning. The one 116 00:06:30,279 --> 00:06:32,320 Speaker 1: thing I'll be that I'm kind of surprised by. I 117 00:06:32,360 --> 00:06:35,760 Speaker 1: don't disagree they want to run against Trump because Trump 118 00:06:35,880 --> 00:06:38,560 Speaker 1: is the only thing that really unites the Democrat Party, 119 00:06:39,160 --> 00:06:43,679 Speaker 1: because he as the great Satan, he as the Hitler. 120 00:06:43,760 --> 00:06:46,240 Speaker 1: I mean, I think they legitimately believe that he is Hitler. 121 00:06:47,520 --> 00:06:50,680 Speaker 1: What I would say is what they're missing there is 122 00:06:51,279 --> 00:06:55,920 Speaker 1: they ran that campaign in twenty It won because of 123 00:06:56,080 --> 00:06:59,640 Speaker 1: COVID if they had run that Trump is Hitler, Trump 124 00:06:59,720 --> 00:07:03,040 Speaker 1: is ever everything that's evil, Orange Man bad campaign in 125 00:07:03,160 --> 00:07:06,960 Speaker 1: twenty and COVID had never hit Trump wins a landslide, 126 00:07:07,560 --> 00:07:09,560 Speaker 1: and so I think not only are they fighting, I 127 00:07:09,560 --> 00:07:12,560 Speaker 1: think your analysis about a rearguard action. I think they're 128 00:07:12,560 --> 00:07:16,280 Speaker 1: misidentifying why they won. And one is in quotation marks 129 00:07:16,280 --> 00:07:18,360 Speaker 1: because they were certainly all the rig job and everything 130 00:07:18,400 --> 00:07:22,040 Speaker 1: else that was going on. But even with COVID, they 131 00:07:22,080 --> 00:07:25,360 Speaker 1: won by forty thousand votes, and so I think they're 132 00:07:25,440 --> 00:07:28,040 Speaker 1: already I think you're correct looking ahead towards Trump. But 133 00:07:28,120 --> 00:07:32,920 Speaker 1: here's what surprises me. Trump has actually not really injected himself, 134 00:07:33,360 --> 00:07:35,720 Speaker 1: not aggressively in the mid term at all. Well, I 135 00:07:35,760 --> 00:07:38,760 Speaker 1: think that's part of why. So you know, you think 136 00:07:38,760 --> 00:07:40,920 Speaker 1: about it like like their war game, right, they're planned 137 00:07:40,920 --> 00:07:44,080 Speaker 1: for this midterm election. I think that, And look at 138 00:07:44,080 --> 00:07:47,680 Speaker 1: the Marlago thing and the January six hearings. I thought 139 00:07:47,720 --> 00:07:51,440 Speaker 1: that they I think they believed they'd be able to 140 00:07:51,720 --> 00:07:54,960 Speaker 1: put Trump on the ballot in some capacity in the 141 00:07:55,000 --> 00:07:57,920 Speaker 1: minds of voters, even though clearly he's not on the ballot, 142 00:07:58,280 --> 00:08:01,200 Speaker 1: and that has failed. But part of why I think 143 00:08:01,200 --> 00:08:03,720 Speaker 1: they're clinging to this. I mean Joe Biden's clay. Of 144 00:08:03,760 --> 00:08:06,320 Speaker 1: all the things, he could give a speech focused on tonight, 145 00:08:06,840 --> 00:08:10,520 Speaker 1: threats to our democracy. People are ticked off about the 146 00:08:10,600 --> 00:08:13,920 Speaker 1: high price of gas and food and rent and there, 147 00:08:13,960 --> 00:08:16,360 Speaker 1: and they're ticked off about the crime. And you know, 148 00:08:16,640 --> 00:08:20,040 Speaker 1: instead of being the Joe Biden that they lied to 149 00:08:20,160 --> 00:08:22,960 Speaker 1: us that we were getting, which would be a grandfather, 150 00:08:23,080 --> 00:08:26,320 Speaker 1: he could come out tonight like America's grandpa and say, folks, 151 00:08:26,320 --> 00:08:28,600 Speaker 1: we're gonna bring everyone together. We're gonna back our cops. 152 00:08:28,640 --> 00:08:30,360 Speaker 1: We're gonna clean up our streets, we're gonna get those 153 00:08:30,400 --> 00:08:33,040 Speaker 1: crime numbers down. We're not going to spend on crazy things. 154 00:08:33,160 --> 00:08:35,640 Speaker 1: We're just gonna we're just gonna protect social security. We're 155 00:08:35,640 --> 00:08:38,360 Speaker 1: gonna protect Medicare. We're gonna work to make sure that 156 00:08:38,400 --> 00:08:40,440 Speaker 1: you know, a fair day's work for a fair day's waitch, 157 00:08:40,440 --> 00:08:43,160 Speaker 1: you know, all the usual stuff. He could do that 158 00:08:43,559 --> 00:08:48,080 Speaker 1: and maybe help some Democrat candidates for the next week. Right, 159 00:08:48,120 --> 00:08:50,720 Speaker 1: he could actually put a little bit of a instead 160 00:08:50,760 --> 00:08:54,079 Speaker 1: they're doing a threats to our democracy rallied next to 161 00:08:54,120 --> 00:08:56,760 Speaker 1: the capital. These people are out of their mind. So 162 00:08:56,800 --> 00:08:59,520 Speaker 1: I'm just trying to Yes, there's a degree of crazy, 163 00:08:59,559 --> 00:09:03,120 Speaker 1: but there's always also a degree of calculation. Even with 164 00:09:03,160 --> 00:09:06,560 Speaker 1: the crazy Libs, I think that they're just they view 165 00:09:06,600 --> 00:09:09,600 Speaker 1: it all still as like the existential struggle against Trump 166 00:09:09,640 --> 00:09:13,720 Speaker 1: and they and they're ready for that at the expense 167 00:09:13,760 --> 00:09:16,560 Speaker 1: of the midterm elections right now. You ever go to 168 00:09:16,600 --> 00:09:20,080 Speaker 1: a concert when the person who's at performing at the 169 00:09:20,120 --> 00:09:24,000 Speaker 1: concert has one song you actually want to hear. Yes, 170 00:09:25,160 --> 00:09:27,360 Speaker 1: I saw an opening act Ones where that was the case, 171 00:09:27,679 --> 00:09:29,480 Speaker 1: the band with the crash Test Dummies. And I'm not 172 00:09:29,480 --> 00:09:31,800 Speaker 1: ashamed to say it. All right, So I've been to 173 00:09:31,920 --> 00:09:35,280 Speaker 1: a lot of concerts over the years where there's like 174 00:09:35,320 --> 00:09:38,360 Speaker 1: one song people really want to hear, and the band 175 00:09:38,480 --> 00:09:41,240 Speaker 1: can never open with the one song that people really 176 00:09:41,280 --> 00:09:44,160 Speaker 1: want to hear because then they've got nothing else, and 177 00:09:44,240 --> 00:09:48,160 Speaker 1: so they play several other songs that nobody cares about 178 00:09:48,679 --> 00:09:51,400 Speaker 1: to lead up to the song that people actually care about, 179 00:09:51,400 --> 00:09:54,520 Speaker 1: and it's their crescendo, it's their finale. I think the 180 00:09:54,600 --> 00:09:58,520 Speaker 1: Biden administration is that band. I think that they have 181 00:09:59,080 --> 00:10:02,640 Speaker 1: one hit, and they believe their one hit is democracy 182 00:10:02,720 --> 00:10:05,800 Speaker 1: is in peril, and so they've tried to go around 183 00:10:05,840 --> 00:10:08,559 Speaker 1: and say they're gonna cut Social Security, They're going to 184 00:10:08,640 --> 00:10:13,040 Speaker 1: increase inflation. We're actually doing a really good job on crime. 185 00:10:13,080 --> 00:10:16,680 Speaker 1: They've tried all those they don't register, and the only 186 00:10:16,760 --> 00:10:21,280 Speaker 1: thing that registers with their crazy bass is Democracy's in peril. 187 00:10:21,720 --> 00:10:24,200 Speaker 1: And so as we sit here six days out, Joe 188 00:10:24,200 --> 00:10:27,160 Speaker 1: Biden has one song that plays at all with the 189 00:10:27,200 --> 00:10:31,120 Speaker 1: Democrat bass, and I think he's going to keep banging that. Now. 190 00:10:31,240 --> 00:10:34,920 Speaker 1: The problem is for a lot of people out there 191 00:10:34,960 --> 00:10:36,960 Speaker 1: who are persuadable, You're like, I don't want to go 192 00:10:37,000 --> 00:10:39,960 Speaker 1: see that guy. He's only got one song, and the 193 00:10:40,000 --> 00:10:42,160 Speaker 1: song's not that good in the first place. And I 194 00:10:42,160 --> 00:10:46,440 Speaker 1: think that's how independents are responding to this. But buck, 195 00:10:46,520 --> 00:10:49,559 Speaker 1: to me, what is wild is Joe Biden gave the 196 00:10:49,640 --> 00:10:53,760 Speaker 1: speech in September on the thursday I believe that college 197 00:10:53,800 --> 00:10:58,600 Speaker 1: football season started, if I remember correctly, leading into the 198 00:10:59,760 --> 00:11:02,880 Speaker 1: lead into Labor Day, and at that point in time, 199 00:11:03,040 --> 00:11:06,440 Speaker 1: if you looked at the gambling markets, Joe Biden and 200 00:11:06,480 --> 00:11:09,760 Speaker 1: the Democrats were in their strongest place that they have 201 00:11:09,840 --> 00:11:12,680 Speaker 1: ever been. And that speech was such a disaster. The 202 00:11:12,760 --> 00:11:16,600 Speaker 1: red background, the Emperor Palpatine field, the marine standing behind him, 203 00:11:16,800 --> 00:11:19,320 Speaker 1: that if you look that literally was the high water mark. 204 00:11:19,360 --> 00:11:21,520 Speaker 1: And every time since then, they've gone down to me. 205 00:11:21,720 --> 00:11:25,760 Speaker 1: Biden is the worst advocate, even for his best hit one. 206 00:11:25,800 --> 00:11:29,880 Speaker 1: I think it's it's great that you the Clay calendar 207 00:11:30,000 --> 00:11:36,280 Speaker 1: is before or after college football starts season. With that, 208 00:11:36,400 --> 00:11:41,760 Speaker 1: it's it's BCF or or yeah or ACF after college football. 209 00:11:42,160 --> 00:11:46,000 Speaker 1: Um No. I think that the the Emperor Palpatine speech, 210 00:11:46,000 --> 00:11:51,120 Speaker 1: which was universally viewed as a disaster. Um they how 211 00:11:51,520 --> 00:11:54,160 Speaker 1: this This again goes to my theory. How could they 212 00:11:54,240 --> 00:11:57,960 Speaker 1: be so dense as to not learn from that mistake 213 00:11:58,400 --> 00:12:03,480 Speaker 1: unless they can't turn off this machinery because they think 214 00:12:03,559 --> 00:12:06,600 Speaker 1: they need it against Trump, and so they don't. They 215 00:12:06,640 --> 00:12:09,760 Speaker 1: won't scale it back, they won't stop talking about this 216 00:12:10,240 --> 00:12:13,440 Speaker 1: because they think that this has their base mobilized and 217 00:12:13,559 --> 00:12:15,439 Speaker 1: they need to keep them focused on on this issue 218 00:12:15,800 --> 00:12:18,200 Speaker 1: because otherwise, oh look, we're just trying to make sense 219 00:12:18,240 --> 00:12:21,280 Speaker 1: of And this is also I think important for us 220 00:12:21,600 --> 00:12:24,840 Speaker 1: to make sure that we understand really the dynamics playing 221 00:12:24,840 --> 00:12:26,559 Speaker 1: out right now. I mean, like if Biden had a 222 00:12:26,600 --> 00:12:29,760 Speaker 1: strong economy, things would be very different right now. Everyone 223 00:12:29,800 --> 00:12:32,960 Speaker 1: just understand that if he hadn't spent but which is 224 00:12:32,960 --> 00:12:35,000 Speaker 1: what Democrats always do. But if they hadn't spent us 225 00:12:35,040 --> 00:12:38,080 Speaker 1: into the worst inflation in forty years, we wouldn't be 226 00:12:38,120 --> 00:12:40,240 Speaker 1: looking at this red wave. So they may learn some 227 00:12:40,320 --> 00:12:44,000 Speaker 1: lessons there, but it is political malpractice the way they 228 00:12:44,000 --> 00:12:46,920 Speaker 1: have run the last particularly the last three months. It's 229 00:12:46,960 --> 00:12:49,720 Speaker 1: just it's like, what country are they living in? Honestly, 230 00:12:50,600 --> 00:12:53,240 Speaker 1: And I will throw in one little other nugget here, buck, 231 00:12:53,400 --> 00:12:56,440 Speaker 1: I think Biden really believes all this. I think he's 232 00:12:56,440 --> 00:12:59,199 Speaker 1: got dementia. I don't think that his brain works very well. 233 00:12:59,600 --> 00:13:02,880 Speaker 1: But they have They have kept surrounding him with historians 234 00:13:03,280 --> 00:13:06,240 Speaker 1: who initially filled him up with the idea of, hey, 235 00:13:06,320 --> 00:13:08,640 Speaker 1: you're FDR. And I think that's why he tried to 236 00:13:08,640 --> 00:13:12,080 Speaker 1: go so big, because he wanted to be a legacy president, 237 00:13:12,640 --> 00:13:15,880 Speaker 1: and I think they have built him up the idea 238 00:13:15,960 --> 00:13:19,440 Speaker 1: that he is all that stands between America and the 239 00:13:19,520 --> 00:13:22,720 Speaker 1: collapse of democracy. I think I think they have convinced 240 00:13:22,760 --> 00:13:27,560 Speaker 1: him that's true. And so historians oftentimes are not the 241 00:13:27,600 --> 00:13:32,640 Speaker 1: best judges of the present day because history is predicated on, 242 00:13:32,840 --> 00:13:35,920 Speaker 1: oftentimes hundreds of years to look back on it. And 243 00:13:36,440 --> 00:13:40,360 Speaker 1: I think objectively, Biden is Jimmy Carter and he thinks 244 00:13:40,360 --> 00:13:43,760 Speaker 1: he's FDR. And that explains a lot of the ways 245 00:13:43,800 --> 00:13:46,560 Speaker 1: that he's behaving, and that he believes he has to 246 00:13:46,600 --> 00:13:50,880 Speaker 1: save American democracy like FDR did during the Great Depression 247 00:13:50,880 --> 00:13:53,840 Speaker 1: in the nineteen thirties. I think he's convinced himself historically 248 00:13:53,840 --> 00:13:56,800 Speaker 1: that he is FDR, and the reality is he's Jimmy Carter. 249 00:13:57,320 --> 00:14:00,880 Speaker 1: And if you're Jimmy Carter thinking you're FDR, you actually 250 00:14:00,960 --> 00:14:03,080 Speaker 1: end up even worse than Jimmy Carter because you have 251 00:14:03,160 --> 00:14:06,480 Speaker 1: such a poor read of the larger marketplace of ideas. 252 00:14:07,559 --> 00:14:09,880 Speaker 1: Speaking of poor read doesn't help that Joe Biden's got 253 00:14:09,880 --> 00:14:12,640 Speaker 1: low testosterone, and his entire White House is filled with 254 00:14:12,720 --> 00:14:16,200 Speaker 1: men with low testosterone, and as a result, weak men 255 00:14:16,600 --> 00:14:21,000 Speaker 1: lead to oftentimes awful results. And I wish right now 256 00:14:21,040 --> 00:14:22,880 Speaker 1: we could send some of those weak men in the 257 00:14:22,920 --> 00:14:25,920 Speaker 1: Biden White House some testosterone so they could actually get 258 00:14:25,920 --> 00:14:29,200 Speaker 1: some backbone spine understand where we are as a country 259 00:14:29,240 --> 00:14:32,680 Speaker 1: and why they are such abject failures. Unfortunately we can't. 260 00:14:32,800 --> 00:14:34,760 Speaker 1: I'd also like to give Joe Biden some more energy, 261 00:14:34,800 --> 00:14:38,560 Speaker 1: more vitality, more vigor, vitality, them all of the things 262 00:14:38,560 --> 00:14:40,360 Speaker 1: that are important when you were the leader of the 263 00:14:40,400 --> 00:14:43,640 Speaker 1: free world, which is why I would send them Chalk. 264 00:14:43,680 --> 00:14:45,600 Speaker 1: If I could, I'd pull up right at the White 265 00:14:45,640 --> 00:14:48,240 Speaker 1: House say hey, this is for free, This is to 266 00:14:48,280 --> 00:14:51,240 Speaker 1: make you guys actually have some testosterone. And what I 267 00:14:51,280 --> 00:14:54,800 Speaker 1: think is the least testosterone laden White House in American history, 268 00:14:55,280 --> 00:14:59,240 Speaker 1: and we are going to make America strong again, vital again, 269 00:14:59,640 --> 00:15:03,160 Speaker 1: test osterone latent again. Maybe in your own life, you 270 00:15:03,320 --> 00:15:05,880 Speaker 1: or people you know are not feeling up to the 271 00:15:05,920 --> 00:15:07,640 Speaker 1: same energy that you've had before, and maybe you roll 272 00:15:07,680 --> 00:15:09,680 Speaker 1: out of bed and you think, man, it's not as 273 00:15:09,720 --> 00:15:12,200 Speaker 1: easy you used to be. Maybe you get into bed 274 00:15:12,840 --> 00:15:15,640 Speaker 1: and you wake up feeling worse than you did when 275 00:15:15,680 --> 00:15:18,280 Speaker 1: you went to bed. Somebody said to me recently, I 276 00:15:18,280 --> 00:15:21,280 Speaker 1: think it's true. What is getting old? It's when you 277 00:15:21,360 --> 00:15:24,640 Speaker 1: go to bed feeling great and wake up feeling like crap. 278 00:15:24,880 --> 00:15:29,080 Speaker 1: That is aging.

I wanted to share this one with you. 339 00:19:07,840 --> 00:19:13,159 Speaker 1: New York Times Patty Murray faces stiff challenge in Senate 340 00:19:13,240 --> 00:19:17,800 Speaker 1: reelection race. The five time Washington senator is concerned about 341 00:19:17,920 --> 00:19:21,919 Speaker 1: complacency among Democratic voters who have come to regard her 342 00:19:21,920 --> 00:19:26,679 Speaker 1: as a fixture who will always be there five times 343 00:19:27,040 --> 00:19:30,120 Speaker 1: thirty years in the Senate. Folks, She faces a Republican 344 00:19:30,160 --> 00:19:33,960 Speaker 1: newcomer Tiffany Smiley and Clay. I love it. They the 345 00:19:34,040 --> 00:19:39,480 Speaker 1: first person they ask about about there's about support for 346 00:19:39,520 --> 00:19:43,680 Speaker 1: Patty Murray is a self described socialist. Of course, no 347 00:19:43,760 --> 00:19:48,480 Speaker 1: surprise in Washington. But I think we have Oh yes, 348 00:19:48,640 --> 00:19:52,480 Speaker 1: we have Tiffany Smiley with us. Now, Tiffany, thanks for 349 00:19:52,560 --> 00:19:55,880 Speaker 1: calling it. Yeah, thanks for having me on. I really 350 00:19:55,880 --> 00:19:59,160 Speaker 1: appreciate it. So it is days away. The New York 351 00:19:59,200 --> 00:20:03,000 Speaker 1: Times is worried. Clay and I and all of our 352 00:20:03,040 --> 00:20:06,160 Speaker 1: friends across the country just want to hear about why 353 00:20:06,200 --> 00:20:09,200 Speaker 1: they should be so worried about this election. What it's 354 00:20:09,200 --> 00:20:13,359 Speaker 1: looking like right now, days away. Yeah, I mean they 355 00:20:13,359 --> 00:20:16,439 Speaker 1: should be worried. Senator Murray has failed Washington State at 356 00:20:16,480 --> 00:20:19,240 Speaker 1: every turn, and we truly have a message of hope. 357 00:20:20,000 --> 00:20:22,840 Speaker 1: How we can turn crisis into hope and deliver results 358 00:20:22,880 --> 00:20:26,000 Speaker 1: for all of Washington. I've been in all thirty nine counties. 359 00:20:26,040 --> 00:20:28,520 Speaker 1: I've listened to thousands of voters, and you know, I'm 360 00:20:28,560 --> 00:20:31,560 Speaker 1: on my statewide tour again and my new mom and 361 00:20:31,640 --> 00:20:35,639 Speaker 1: town bus and we're meeting voters on the ground. Hundreds 362 00:20:35,640 --> 00:20:38,440 Speaker 1: and hundreds of people are coming to our events. They're 363 00:20:38,440 --> 00:20:41,880 Speaker 1: ready for change. You know, these aren't Democrat Republican issues. 364 00:20:42,040 --> 00:20:44,880 Speaker 1: They're American issues. It's about delivering results. And I think 365 00:20:44,920 --> 00:20:48,479 Speaker 1: you know, even our debate, our town hall, the choice 366 00:20:48,520 --> 00:20:51,320 Speaker 1: the contract could not be clear. Do you want someone 367 00:20:51,359 --> 00:20:53,280 Speaker 1: who will go work for you or do you want 368 00:20:53,320 --> 00:20:56,640 Speaker 1: that same ole get along, to go along, do nothing. 369 00:20:56,960 --> 00:20:59,679 Speaker 1: Patty Murray has only been able to get nine bills 370 00:21:00,040 --> 00:21:03,159 Speaker 1: cross the line in thirty years. Washingtonians are waking up 371 00:21:03,200 --> 00:21:06,960 Speaker 1: every day and they're ready for change, Tiffany. We had 372 00:21:07,280 --> 00:21:11,200 Speaker 1: Christine Drayson on yesterday. She's obviously just beneath you there 373 00:21:11,200 --> 00:21:14,000 Speaker 1: in the Pacific Northwest, and she is going to believe, 374 00:21:14,080 --> 00:21:17,440 Speaker 1: I believe when the governorship of Oregon for the first 375 00:21:17,480 --> 00:21:21,360 Speaker 1: time in forty years. You are similarly And we talked 376 00:21:21,400 --> 00:21:23,639 Speaker 1: with her. We said, you know, initially people kind of 377 00:21:23,760 --> 00:21:26,960 Speaker 1: just kind of don't really take you very seriously. There's 378 00:21:27,080 --> 00:21:30,240 Speaker 1: legitimate polls out there now that show you tied even 379 00:21:30,359 --> 00:21:33,920 Speaker 1: with Patty Murray with six days to go. How has 380 00:21:34,000 --> 00:21:37,479 Speaker 1: the Democrat response changed to you? As Buck mentioned, the 381 00:21:37,480 --> 00:21:40,080 Speaker 1: New York Times is now writing about your candidacy. We 382 00:21:40,119 --> 00:21:42,760 Speaker 1: saw the same thing happen with Christine. What is it 383 00:21:42,800 --> 00:21:46,280 Speaker 1: like for you to suddenly be taken seriously when you've 384 00:21:46,280 --> 00:21:48,400 Speaker 1: been working as hard as you can for months, if 385 00:21:48,440 --> 00:21:51,679 Speaker 1: not years, to get to this position. Yeah, yeah, you know. 386 00:21:51,680 --> 00:21:53,080 Speaker 1: I've been at this for a year and a half. 387 00:21:53,119 --> 00:21:55,480 Speaker 1: And when I got into this, I didn't need polling 388 00:21:55,600 --> 00:21:57,480 Speaker 1: to know that I had a shot or there was 389 00:21:57,520 --> 00:22:01,040 Speaker 1: a pathway to victory. I didn't need million dollars backwards 390 00:22:01,040 --> 00:22:03,240 Speaker 1: behind me to know this was the right thing to do. 391 00:22:03,560 --> 00:22:05,560 Speaker 1: I did this because it was the right thing to do. 392 00:22:05,600 --> 00:22:08,000 Speaker 1: I'm born and grace here in Washington State. I love 393 00:22:08,080 --> 00:22:10,800 Speaker 1: this state, and I knew, just like other times in 394 00:22:10,840 --> 00:22:12,679 Speaker 1: my life, you know, when my husband was blinded by 395 00:22:12,680 --> 00:22:14,800 Speaker 1: a suicide car bomb, I knew the power of building 396 00:22:14,840 --> 00:22:18,280 Speaker 1: from the ground up, building bridges and building coalitions. We've 397 00:22:18,359 --> 00:22:21,040 Speaker 1: a coalesced the people of Washington State over the last 398 00:22:21,080 --> 00:22:25,280 Speaker 1: eighteen months, and so we're going to continue to buy 399 00:22:25,280 --> 00:22:27,159 Speaker 1: it all the way through victory. We're not going to stop. 400 00:22:27,160 --> 00:22:29,600 Speaker 1: I'm still I still have multiple towns that I'm visiting 401 00:22:29,640 --> 00:22:32,679 Speaker 1: all across Washington State and sharing our mussage and our 402 00:22:32,760 --> 00:22:35,880 Speaker 1: vision of hope. I've just been laser focused on delivering 403 00:22:35,960 --> 00:22:38,720 Speaker 1: results and providing an option, you know, to the great 404 00:22:38,760 --> 00:22:41,640 Speaker 1: people of Washington State, and often that We'll bring hard 405 00:22:41,640 --> 00:22:45,680 Speaker 1: work and dedication. You know, I think it's clear Washington 406 00:22:45,760 --> 00:22:50,320 Speaker 1: State does not need seniority. We need motivation and principle. 407 00:22:50,720 --> 00:22:53,120 Speaker 1: And I tell every room when you send me to Washington, DC, 408 00:22:53,359 --> 00:22:55,520 Speaker 1: that's what I will bring to the halls of Congress. 409 00:22:56,200 --> 00:22:58,760 Speaker 1: So I'm in this for our country. I'm in this 410 00:22:58,880 --> 00:23:02,320 Speaker 1: for my children, for your children, for grandchildren, for generations 411 00:23:02,359 --> 00:23:05,600 Speaker 1: to come. This never was about, you know, whether the 412 00:23:05,640 --> 00:23:07,480 Speaker 1: polling looks good or not. I knew what I was 413 00:23:07,520 --> 00:23:09,960 Speaker 1: willing to do, the work, build the bridges, and we 414 00:23:10,040 --> 00:23:12,560 Speaker 1: will win this race. And we will send a shockwave 415 00:23:12,640 --> 00:23:15,520 Speaker 1: from Washington State all the way to Washington, DC as 416 00:23:15,600 --> 00:23:18,280 Speaker 1: time to get our country in this great state back 417 00:23:18,280 --> 00:23:21,199 Speaker 1: on track. We're speaking to Tiffany Smiley. She is running 418 00:23:21,320 --> 00:23:24,600 Speaker 1: a fantastic campaign for sending up in Washington State for 419 00:23:24,640 --> 00:23:29,320 Speaker 1: anyone who's joining us now. Tiffany Clay brought something up 420 00:23:29,400 --> 00:23:32,119 Speaker 1: yesterday and in some different races that was a pretty 421 00:23:32,160 --> 00:23:35,200 Speaker 1: mind blowing He asked me how much money had been 422 00:23:35,200 --> 00:23:39,639 Speaker 1: spent on the candidacy's of Stacy Abraham's Democrat running in Georgia, 423 00:23:39,640 --> 00:23:42,160 Speaker 1: who's going to lose by a lot and Beto O'Rourke 424 00:23:42,280 --> 00:23:45,840 Speaker 1: Democrat in Texas, one hundred and fifty million dollars spent 425 00:23:45,920 --> 00:23:51,200 Speaker 1: on those two incredibly unsuccessful campaigns. What kind of money 426 00:23:51,200 --> 00:23:53,040 Speaker 1: are they throwing it? I gotta assume. I mean, the 427 00:23:53,040 --> 00:23:55,879 Speaker 1: New York Times is putting up they're putting up the 428 00:23:56,040 --> 00:23:58,760 Speaker 1: SOS signal right now. They must be throwing all kinds 429 00:23:58,800 --> 00:24:03,120 Speaker 1: of stuff at you. What's going on? Yeah, I mean, yes, 430 00:24:03,200 --> 00:24:05,280 Speaker 1: I mean, Patty Murray is getting more and more and 431 00:24:05,320 --> 00:24:08,120 Speaker 1: more money every day. But but it's clear that we're 432 00:24:08,119 --> 00:24:11,560 Speaker 1: winning each day. Our team, we're mean, we're mean, we're fighting. 433 00:24:11,600 --> 00:24:15,720 Speaker 1: We're here for the people, and we're winning every single day, 434 00:24:15,720 --> 00:24:19,320 Speaker 1: from the messaging war to fundraising. So you have a 435 00:24:19,359 --> 00:24:21,159 Speaker 1: lot of moms, by the way, who admits you to 436 00:24:21,400 --> 00:24:24,280 Speaker 1: Tiffany that they have voted Democrat in the past and 437 00:24:24,320 --> 00:24:28,520 Speaker 1: now they're coming over to your side. Absolutely, and especially 438 00:24:28,600 --> 00:24:30,639 Speaker 1: the crime issue here in Washington State. I was in 439 00:24:30,640 --> 00:24:32,960 Speaker 1: Seattle a couple of saturdays ago speaking to a room. 440 00:24:33,000 --> 00:24:35,520 Speaker 1: They're Democrats and Independence in the room, and they just said, 441 00:24:35,600 --> 00:24:38,080 Speaker 1: we've never felt more in safe in our communities. And 442 00:24:38,800 --> 00:24:41,520 Speaker 1: you know, we have our Patty Versus public Safety dot Com. 443 00:24:41,560 --> 00:24:43,560 Speaker 1: Anyone can go to it and see Patting murray stoft 444 00:24:43,600 --> 00:24:47,120 Speaker 1: on crime policies that have destroyed and our beautiful city 445 00:24:47,160 --> 00:24:51,480 Speaker 1: all in Seattle and all across Washington State. So as 446 00:24:51,480 --> 00:24:54,160 Speaker 1: far as like you know, funding aren't honored, and we've 447 00:24:54,200 --> 00:24:56,960 Speaker 1: heavy lifted Washington State because I'm funded by the people 448 00:24:57,000 --> 00:24:59,960 Speaker 1: of Washington State. You know, over a year ago people 449 00:25:00,000 --> 00:25:01,760 Speaker 1: I was paying attention because of the amount of money 450 00:25:01,760 --> 00:25:04,320 Speaker 1: that were raising. It was the people of Washington State 451 00:25:04,640 --> 00:25:08,000 Speaker 1: that have led this and me and Patty Murrayed fundraising 452 00:25:08,040 --> 00:25:10,840 Speaker 1: couldn't look more different. I'm honored to be funded by 453 00:25:10,840 --> 00:25:13,120 Speaker 1: the people of Washington State. This is a Washington State 454 00:25:13,280 --> 00:25:15,800 Speaker 1: up campaign and us exactly why we are picking up 455 00:25:15,800 --> 00:25:20,400 Speaker 1: and catching the momentum. I'm fascinated by this question too, Tiffany. 456 00:25:20,440 --> 00:25:22,360 Speaker 1: You're a mom, and we've been talking to a lot 457 00:25:22,359 --> 00:25:24,840 Speaker 1: of Republican moms. We had the moment down in the 458 00:25:24,880 --> 00:25:28,080 Speaker 1: Colorado debate where Heidigen all leaned into yeah, I'm a 459 00:25:28,119 --> 00:25:32,280 Speaker 1: mad mom over schools being shut down, over crime, over 460 00:25:32,359 --> 00:25:36,119 Speaker 1: all these different things that are infuriating I think moms 461 00:25:36,119 --> 00:25:39,159 Speaker 1: and dads. But as a mom on the campaign trail, 462 00:25:39,560 --> 00:25:41,120 Speaker 1: do you have to sit down with your kids at 463 00:25:41,160 --> 00:25:43,119 Speaker 1: some point and say, hey, they're going to say a 464 00:25:43,160 --> 00:25:46,879 Speaker 1: lot of crazy things about mom. And if so, what 465 00:25:46,920 --> 00:25:50,560 Speaker 1: are those conversations like for your kids, who I imagine 466 00:25:50,840 --> 00:25:53,280 Speaker 1: are now seeing you in a different light over the 467 00:25:53,320 --> 00:25:56,600 Speaker 1: course of this last year and a half campaign. Yeah, 468 00:25:56,680 --> 00:25:58,439 Speaker 1: they You know, our kids have always been involved in 469 00:25:58,480 --> 00:26:00,760 Speaker 1: this campaign, in this effort. I want them, you know, 470 00:26:00,880 --> 00:26:02,840 Speaker 1: we always teach them when you have the opportunity to 471 00:26:02,880 --> 00:26:04,720 Speaker 1: do something that's right, that you always do it, and 472 00:26:04,760 --> 00:26:07,760 Speaker 1: you stand up and do it with your heart and 473 00:26:07,800 --> 00:26:09,640 Speaker 1: your soul and everything that you have. And so they 474 00:26:09,640 --> 00:26:12,440 Speaker 1: are seeing our family once again stand up and serve 475 00:26:13,119 --> 00:26:15,760 Speaker 1: just a different type of service, you know, different than 476 00:26:15,800 --> 00:26:18,720 Speaker 1: what their father did. But obviously we are continuing to 477 00:26:18,760 --> 00:26:21,600 Speaker 1: share our message. And you know, our kids are very resilient. 478 00:26:21,760 --> 00:26:25,760 Speaker 1: There are three amazing little boys who had to learn, 479 00:26:26,080 --> 00:26:28,000 Speaker 1: you know, why their father is blind, and we had 480 00:26:28,040 --> 00:26:30,320 Speaker 1: to describe to them, you know, at a young age. 481 00:26:30,320 --> 00:26:32,320 Speaker 1: Scott he's never seen their faces. So they were all 482 00:26:32,320 --> 00:26:35,400 Speaker 1: born after Scotty was blind, that another human being tried 483 00:26:35,440 --> 00:26:37,480 Speaker 1: to kill their father. Instead of killing their father, he 484 00:26:37,520 --> 00:26:39,879 Speaker 1: took his eyes and all three of them cried and 485 00:26:40,280 --> 00:26:42,679 Speaker 1: were hurt that another human being would be so evil, 486 00:26:42,760 --> 00:26:46,200 Speaker 1: So their perspective on life is is much different. Our 487 00:26:46,200 --> 00:26:50,280 Speaker 1: military kids are extremely resilient and so actually I have 488 00:26:50,320 --> 00:26:53,040 Speaker 1: my youngest on the campaign trail with me, going to 489 00:26:53,119 --> 00:26:56,040 Speaker 1: different stops and we bring them along with us, and 490 00:26:56,880 --> 00:26:59,040 Speaker 1: you know, I want them to know that freedom of 491 00:26:59,080 --> 00:27:01,320 Speaker 1: speech is a thing. But when you know your why, 492 00:27:01,480 --> 00:27:04,280 Speaker 1: when you're convicted and you're standing them and doing what's right, 493 00:27:05,000 --> 00:27:08,399 Speaker 1: that you always just deliver that message. So our boys, uh, 494 00:27:08,600 --> 00:27:10,239 Speaker 1: you know, it was que the other night. I got 495 00:27:10,320 --> 00:27:13,920 Speaker 1: home late and I kiss Baylor, my youngest. They said, 496 00:27:13,960 --> 00:27:15,960 Speaker 1: you're probably going to leave in the morning, homem and 497 00:27:16,000 --> 00:27:17,800 Speaker 1: they said, yes, I am, and even flip at me. 498 00:27:17,840 --> 00:27:20,679 Speaker 1: He said, you'd better win. So they certainly know what 499 00:27:20,680 --> 00:27:23,760 Speaker 1: we're fighting for and what we're doing across Washington State. 500 00:27:23,760 --> 00:27:27,080 Speaker 1: And I love bringing them along with me and showing them, 501 00:27:27,119 --> 00:27:32,640 Speaker 1: you know, just what leadership is and serving others. Well, yeah, yeah, 502 00:27:33,520 --> 00:27:37,720 Speaker 1: we got I've got three boys myself, and so I 503 00:27:37,760 --> 00:27:42,240 Speaker 1: saw your closing campaign ad with your husband and yourself 504 00:27:42,359 --> 00:27:47,239 Speaker 1: sitting speaking directly to the camera was incredibly powerful for 505 00:27:47,280 --> 00:27:50,000 Speaker 1: people who have not seen that ad. Maybe we'll put 506 00:27:50,000 --> 00:27:52,280 Speaker 1: it up on Clay and Bucks so they can see it. 507 00:27:52,600 --> 00:27:54,879 Speaker 1: But whose idea was that. How did it come together 508 00:27:54,920 --> 00:27:56,720 Speaker 1: and what has the response been to you and your 509 00:27:56,760 --> 00:27:59,720 Speaker 1: husband sitting there directly as you said, your husband blinded 510 00:27:59,720 --> 00:28:03,160 Speaker 1: you a service for the country directly addressing the camera. 511 00:28:03,359 --> 00:28:07,280 Speaker 1: It's really powerful for a lot of people. Yeah, no, 512 00:28:07,359 --> 00:28:10,600 Speaker 1: thank you. We wanted to close together because we're doing 513 00:28:10,640 --> 00:28:13,440 Speaker 1: this together. You know, when we talked about getting into 514 00:28:13,480 --> 00:28:16,320 Speaker 1: this race, I had some reservations. We had finally just 515 00:28:16,640 --> 00:28:19,439 Speaker 1: settled down. We weren't moving with the military. Me and 516 00:28:19,440 --> 00:28:22,199 Speaker 1: Scottie have built a beautiful life. Love swent in tears. 517 00:28:22,200 --> 00:28:25,080 Speaker 1: It was worth it, all of it. And it was 518 00:28:25,119 --> 00:28:27,879 Speaker 1: Scotti who said, Tiffany, there's one person who's gonna be 519 00:28:27,880 --> 00:28:31,200 Speaker 1: at Patti Marian Washington State, and I hate to tell you, honey, 520 00:28:31,320 --> 00:28:34,240 Speaker 1: but it's you. And he said, you know, you kicked 521 00:28:34,240 --> 00:28:36,080 Speaker 1: me out of that hospital bed and you believed in 522 00:28:36,200 --> 00:28:39,240 Speaker 1: something better for me and believe that I still had purpose, 523 00:28:39,720 --> 00:28:42,120 Speaker 1: and he said, go do that for Washington. So it's 524 00:28:42,160 --> 00:28:47,080 Speaker 1: always about our whole family in this journey, and so 525 00:28:47,520 --> 00:28:50,320 Speaker 1: we knew we wanted to close it together and just 526 00:28:50,360 --> 00:28:52,600 Speaker 1: really get to the heart of why we are doing this. 527 00:28:53,040 --> 00:28:56,440 Speaker 1: We are doing this because we love this country. Scottie 528 00:28:56,560 --> 00:28:59,760 Speaker 1: is sacrificed greatly for this country. Like I mentioned, he's 529 00:28:59,760 --> 00:29:02,280 Speaker 1: never seen our children's faces, and so we wanted to 530 00:29:02,320 --> 00:29:04,600 Speaker 1: close it together and just share our heart. We're in 531 00:29:04,640 --> 00:29:08,080 Speaker 1: this because we want to leave our children in America 532 00:29:08,200 --> 00:29:11,160 Speaker 1: that is worth giving their eyesights for. And if the 533 00:29:11,240 --> 00:29:14,800 Speaker 1: answer is not six more years of Patty Murray, Yeah, Tiffany. 534 00:29:15,200 --> 00:29:18,040 Speaker 1: For the people listening, including on ten ninety the Patriot 535 00:29:18,120 --> 00:29:21,800 Speaker 1: KPTR in Seattle area and all across the state of Washington, 536 00:29:22,200 --> 00:29:24,600 Speaker 1: they want to help out in these final critical days 537 00:29:24,680 --> 00:29:28,520 Speaker 1: for your winnable but still very much neck and neck race. 538 00:29:28,560 --> 00:29:33,959 Speaker 1: Where should they go?

You know, 552 00:30:14,800 --> 00:30:17,440 Speaker 1: one of the things that Patty Murray in Washington has 553 00:30:17,480 --> 00:30:20,960 Speaker 1: been trying to gain traction and voters on is taking 554 00:30:21,080 --> 00:30:24,680 Speaker 1: extreme positions on abortion. That's what Democrats do. As you know, 555 00:30:25,320 --> 00:30:28,520 Speaker 1: Rov Wade is no longer something that is the law 556 00:30:28,520 --> 00:30:30,880 Speaker 1: of the land, but there are still abortions happening all 557 00:30:30,880 --> 00:30:33,520 Speaker 1: over the country. What can you do right now as 558 00:30:33,520 --> 00:30:37,760 Speaker 1: part of the pro life community to save lives today. Well, 559 00:30:37,760 --> 00:30:40,720 Speaker 1: that's why you should partner with Preborn Pregnancy Clinics.

An MSNBC, CNN, 584 00:32:11,280 --> 00:32:14,960 Speaker 1: The Washington Post, New York Times if in Washington State. 585 00:32:15,600 --> 00:32:22,520 Speaker 1: One of the foundational building blocks of woke ideology suddenly 586 00:32:22,640 --> 00:32:26,640 Speaker 1: repudiates all of that and goes with a mom of 587 00:32:26,800 --> 00:32:32,520 Speaker 1: three who is married to a war veteran hero. I 588 00:32:32,680 --> 00:32:37,440 Speaker 1: just what an incredible story that would be about Americans 589 00:32:37,560 --> 00:32:40,600 Speaker 1: taking back their country, including in Washington State. She's a 590 00:32:40,640 --> 00:32:43,560 Speaker 1: fabulous candidate. You guys just heard from her, But that 591 00:32:43,720 --> 00:32:47,560 Speaker 1: is one where I'm going to be rooting aggressively to 592 00:32:47,600 --> 00:32:50,240 Speaker 1: see what's going to happen, and she is right there. 593 00:32:50,320 --> 00:32:51,959 Speaker 1: I talk to a lot of people who say she 594 00:32:52,040 --> 00:32:54,840 Speaker 1: can pull this off, which would be such a tremendous upset. 595 00:32:55,200 --> 00:32:58,280 Speaker 1: The fact that Democrats, as evidenced by that New York 596 00:32:58,320 --> 00:33:01,800 Speaker 1: Times story, which just to everyone knows is from a 597 00:33:01,840 --> 00:33:03,760 Speaker 1: couple of hours ago, I mean that that is a 598 00:33:03,880 --> 00:33:07,760 Speaker 1: very up to date view from the left of how 599 00:33:07,800 --> 00:33:11,000 Speaker 1: things are going up in the Pacific Northwest, specifically Washington State, 600 00:33:11,000 --> 00:33:14,480 Speaker 1: but also obviously in Oregon. We've had amazing Drayson on 601 00:33:14,520 --> 00:33:16,800 Speaker 1: a few times, had her on yesterday. She's gonna be 602 00:33:17,720 --> 00:33:20,560 Speaker 1: the next governor of Oregon. It looks like if everyone 603 00:33:20,600 --> 00:33:23,880 Speaker 1: gets out there in votes, k ex Portland folks, everybody 604 00:33:23,880 --> 00:33:28,200 Speaker 1: across the state get out there and vote, and I 605 00:33:28,240 --> 00:33:31,360 Speaker 1: would just say the fact that they're having to defend 606 00:33:32,040 --> 00:33:35,800 Speaker 1: thirty year Senate incumbents and pile money in at the 607 00:33:35,880 --> 00:33:40,200 Speaker 1: last minute and just hope that that dishonest attack ads 608 00:33:40,200 --> 00:33:43,280 Speaker 1: on TV are gonna save. You know, Patty Murray, the 609 00:33:43,280 --> 00:33:46,040 Speaker 1: New York Times piece even says she's a fixture for 610 00:33:46,160 --> 00:33:48,680 Speaker 1: Democrats in the Senate. You know, Patty Murray is like 611 00:33:49,080 --> 00:33:52,719 Speaker 1: is like you know lay was lady is in the 612 00:33:52,760 --> 00:33:55,680 Speaker 1: Senate for Democrats or you know some of these people 613 00:33:55,680 --> 00:33:58,640 Speaker 1: that have been in forever thirty years. Although you know, 614 00:33:58,680 --> 00:34:02,720 Speaker 1: we just saw Diane Feinstein set the record she has 615 00:34:02,760 --> 00:34:06,400 Speaker 1: been a United States Senator, the longest serving female. She's 616 00:34:06,400 --> 00:34:09,520 Speaker 1: been there over forty years. Yea, the Great States Senate. 617 00:34:10,080 --> 00:34:12,440 Speaker 1: And now there's the one part of that, oh, she 618 00:34:12,520 --> 00:34:14,880 Speaker 1: sent a record. The other part is she is she 619 00:34:15,040 --> 00:34:17,840 Speaker 1: is actually if there was a twenty fifth amendment for 620 00:34:18,280 --> 00:34:22,120 Speaker 1: senators in one hundred percent, no person could argue otherwise 621 00:34:22,160 --> 00:34:24,920 Speaker 1: should be used to bring somebody else into that office. 622 00:34:24,920 --> 00:34:27,239 Speaker 1: She's incapable of doing the job. But she even Democrats 623 00:34:27,480 --> 00:34:30,880 Speaker 1: have admitted, well and to me what it represents. And 624 00:34:31,160 --> 00:34:32,440 Speaker 1: I think this is going to be one of the 625 00:34:32,440 --> 00:34:36,879 Speaker 1: big storylines coming out of the mid terms, the rise 626 00:34:36,920 --> 00:34:41,000 Speaker 1: of Republican moms Heidigenal in Colorado. I think if your 627 00:34:41,040 --> 00:34:43,160 Speaker 1: mom brigade, you got them fired up when you spoke 628 00:34:43,200 --> 00:34:45,960 Speaker 1: about masks, I think so. I think there's a lot 629 00:34:46,000 --> 00:34:47,440 Speaker 1: of them out there that are as fired up as 630 00:34:47,520 --> 00:34:50,520 Speaker 1: I was. Parents in particular, you look at Tutor Dixon 631 00:34:50,520 --> 00:34:52,719 Speaker 1: in Michigan, you look at Tiffany Smiley, who we just 632 00:34:52,800 --> 00:34:56,000 Speaker 1: heard from, Christine Drayson, who we heard from yesterday. All 633 00:34:56,040 --> 00:35:00,399 Speaker 1: it's hard to make a mom scary, and and I 634 00:35:00,440 --> 00:35:04,680 Speaker 1: think that's one of the real lessons here is you 635 00:35:04,719 --> 00:35:07,719 Speaker 1: can make Donald Trump seem like an ogre because he's 636 00:35:07,760 --> 00:35:10,759 Speaker 1: an old white guy. And Democrats have convinced themselves that 637 00:35:10,800 --> 00:35:13,160 Speaker 1: every old white guy except for Joe Biden, by the way, 638 00:35:13,200 --> 00:35:16,719 Speaker 1: their nominee, is awful threat to democracy. But when you 639 00:35:16,800 --> 00:35:19,640 Speaker 1: got kids and you're a mom, you are the least 640 00:35:19,719 --> 00:35:24,399 Speaker 1: threatening person on the planet. And other moms, uniquely, I think, 641 00:35:24,520 --> 00:35:28,960 Speaker 1: respond to those moms because they all shared this COVID 642 00:35:29,120 --> 00:35:33,680 Speaker 1: disaster experience together. And that's why I think so many Democrats, 643 00:35:33,719 --> 00:35:35,400 Speaker 1: you know, we were just talking about this buck so 644 00:35:35,440 --> 00:35:39,719 Speaker 1: many independent women, but also Democrats are swinging so aggressively 645 00:35:39,800 --> 00:35:42,680 Speaker 1: now to the Republican side that Wall Street Journal poll 646 00:35:42,760 --> 00:35:46,160 Speaker 1: a twenty six point move from I believe it was 647 00:35:46,719 --> 00:35:49,640 Speaker 1: plus eleven to the Democrats to plus fifteen to the 648 00:35:50,320 --> 00:35:53,080 Speaker 1: Republicans in the space of the last six weeks. Two 649 00:35:53,120 --> 00:35:58,200 Speaker 1: things that will mobilize people at the polls their money 650 00:35:58,960 --> 00:36:02,879 Speaker 1: and their kids, right reliably. You mess with people's money, 651 00:36:02,920 --> 00:36:05,080 Speaker 1: they get upset and they do something about it. You 652 00:36:05,120 --> 00:36:07,560 Speaker 1: mess with people's kids, they get upset and they do 653 00:36:07,640 --> 00:36:10,399 Speaker 1: something about it. And Democrats, through the pandemic and in 654 00:36:10,719 --> 00:36:12,600 Speaker 1: a lot of other ways right now as we see 655 00:36:12,640 --> 00:36:15,839 Speaker 1: two are messing with people's kids. And the moms and 656 00:36:15,880 --> 00:36:18,680 Speaker 1: the dads have had enough of it, including a New 657 00:36:18,760 --> 00:36:22,480 Speaker 1: York State clay where I have been calling it.
