Speaker 1: the polls. Next week will be two weeks and the

8
00:00:29,560 --> 00:00:32,599
Speaker 1: numbers are looking good. But we've got to keep pouring

9
00:00:32,800 --> 00:00:37,120
Speaker 1: on more and more steam, more and more momentum here

10
00:00:38,400 --> 00:00:41,680
Speaker 1: as we moved throughout the course of the show, we're

11
00:00:41,680 --> 00:00:44,199
Speaker 1: gonna be having some fun with you on the Friday

12
00:00:44,360 --> 00:00:48,960
Speaker 1: edition of the program. In particular, Buck, last night, have

13
00:00:49,040 --> 00:00:50,720
Speaker 1: you ever been to the Al Smith Dinner? Did you

14
00:00:50,760 --> 00:00:52,479
Speaker 1: do this at all when you were a kid? Know

15
00:00:52,520 --> 00:00:54,920
Speaker 1: anything about it? All about it? Like, I mean, I'm

16
00:00:54,920 --> 00:00:58,520
Speaker 1: not fancy enough for the Al Smith Dinner? Will Yeah, Yeah,

17
00:00:58,560 --> 00:01:01,240
Speaker 1: I've never been. I you know, it's a big event,

18
00:01:01,320 --> 00:01:04,039
Speaker 1: So let me kind of set the table. Trump last

19
00:01:04,160 --> 00:01:06,760
Speaker 1: night was at the Al Smith Dinner, which is a

20
00:01:06,800 --> 00:01:10,880
Speaker 1: major Catholic fundraiser that basically has been going on, I

21
00:01:10,880 --> 00:01:16,520
Speaker 1: believe since the nineteen twenties and every president in the

22
00:01:16,600 --> 00:01:20,160
Speaker 1: last forty some odd years. Fifty sixty years has gone

23
00:01:20,760 --> 00:01:25,959
Speaker 1: except for Walter Mondale in nineteen eighty four, and we

24
00:01:26,120 --> 00:01:30,320
Speaker 1: know how crushed he ended up, being forty nine to one.

25
00:01:30,440 --> 00:01:34,160
Speaker 1: The only state he won was Minnesota. So surprising to

26
00:01:34,240 --> 00:01:38,080
Speaker 1: a lot of people that Kamala Harris did not show up.

27
00:01:38,600 --> 00:01:41,520
Speaker 1: And I was sitting on Sean Hannity's show last night

28
00:01:41,959 --> 00:01:44,959
Speaker 1: and they went to watch the Jim Gaffigan jokes and

29
00:01:44,959 --> 00:01:47,000
Speaker 1: then they didn't think Trump was going to talk very long.

30
00:01:47,040 --> 00:01:50,080
Speaker 1: But I ended up watching the whole thing live as

31
00:01:50,160 --> 00:01:54,200
Speaker 1: I was on Sean Hannity's show, and I have to say,

32
00:01:55,120 --> 00:01:59,200
Speaker 1: Trump absolutely killed it. And for those of you who

33
00:01:59,200 --> 00:02:02,440
Speaker 1: have not heard any of the jokes that he told

34
00:02:02,680 --> 00:02:07,040
Speaker 1: or watched the full twenty six minutes ESK I rarely

35
00:02:07,080 --> 00:02:09,760
Speaker 1: say this, I would encourage you to go watch this.

36
00:02:09,919 --> 00:02:13,400
Speaker 1: It's posted at clayanbuck dot com. It's on my Twitter

37
00:02:13,440 --> 00:02:16,400
Speaker 1: feed at Clay Travis. You can go grab it. Your

38
00:02:16,480 --> 00:02:18,880
Speaker 1: kids and your grandkids are going to be talking about

39
00:02:18,880 --> 00:02:23,800
Speaker 1: this because it is going to ricochet through all of

40
00:02:23,919 --> 00:02:29,360
Speaker 1: social media because Trump was just so good and Kamala

41
00:02:29,480 --> 00:02:33,359
Speaker 1: not being there is yet another swing in a miss

42
00:02:33,400 --> 00:02:37,960
Speaker 1: by her campaign, which seems panicked and unaware of what

43
00:02:38,200 --> 00:02:41,640
Speaker 1: strategy they are going to deploy. But I thought we

44
00:02:41,680 --> 00:02:44,760
Speaker 1: could start off buck by just having some laughs. This

45
00:02:45,040 --> 00:02:48,960
Speaker 1: was I thought Trump at his absolute best. But before

46
00:02:49,000 --> 00:02:52,160
Speaker 1: we get to that, I thought Jim Gaffigan was actually

47
00:02:52,280 --> 00:02:55,840
Speaker 1: decent as well. Here he makes a joke. You can

48
00:02:55,880 --> 00:02:59,840
Speaker 1: hear the audience grown a bit about the Democrats claiming

49
00:02:59,840 --> 00:03:02,520
Speaker 1: that they care a great deal about democracy and then

50
00:03:02,600 --> 00:03:06,200
Speaker 1: feeling the need to stage a coup to put Kamala

51
00:03:06,240 --> 00:03:08,519
Speaker 1: in instead of Biden. Listen to cut nine.

52
00:03:08,560 --> 00:03:13,520
Speaker 2: The Democrats have been telling us Trump Trump's reelection is

53
00:03:13,520 --> 00:03:17,240
Speaker 2: a threat to democracy. In fact, they were so concerned

54
00:03:17,280 --> 00:03:21,799
Speaker 2: of this threat they staged a coup. I wasted there,

55
00:03:21,840 --> 00:03:27,639
Speaker 2: democratically elected incumbent and installed Kamala Harris. In other words,

56
00:03:28,760 --> 00:03:32,799
Speaker 2: all her dreams have come Truelliant. It really makes you

57
00:03:32,919 --> 00:03:38,080
Speaker 2: consider the power of prayer, right, Cardinal, Sometimes prayers take

58
00:03:38,160 --> 00:03:41,080
Speaker 2: three and a half years. And at George cloniop.

59
00:03:40,680 --> 00:03:46,040
Speaker 1: Ed, okay, so pretty good line there. I thought Gaffigan

60
00:03:46,240 --> 00:03:48,600
Speaker 1: was fine. His job is to make fun of everybody.

61
00:03:49,120 --> 00:03:52,960
Speaker 1: But I thought, Buck, there were a series of really

62
00:03:53,000 --> 00:03:57,160
Speaker 1: good jokes from Trump, and let's let's play some of

63
00:03:57,200 --> 00:04:01,800
Speaker 1: these because I think people will enjoy this. Trump said

64
00:04:02,360 --> 00:04:05,480
Speaker 1: he's not worried about white dudes for Harris. Why not

65
00:04:05,880 --> 00:04:07,160
Speaker 1: listen to cut fourteen.

66
00:04:08,200 --> 00:04:10,720
Speaker 3: There's a group called white Dudes for Harris. Have you

67
00:04:10,760 --> 00:04:14,120
Speaker 3: seen this? White Dudes for Harris? Anybody know by some

68
00:04:14,280 --> 00:04:17,839
Speaker 3: of you hear white dudes doesn't sound like But I'm

69
00:04:17,839 --> 00:04:21,080
Speaker 3: not worried about them at all because their wives and

70
00:04:21,160 --> 00:04:28,320
Speaker 3: their wives lovers are all voting for me. Every one

71
00:04:28,360 --> 00:04:29,679
Speaker 3: of those people are voting.

72
00:04:31,680 --> 00:04:34,719
Speaker 1: I mean, Buck, that is a really, really great line.

73
00:04:34,880 --> 00:04:38,680
Speaker 1: Here's another one that I loved. Here is Trump talking

74
00:04:38,720 --> 00:04:41,040
Speaker 1: about the fact that he didn't know men could have

75
00:04:41,120 --> 00:04:44,240
Speaker 1: periods until Democrats told him. This is cut fifteen.

76
00:04:44,480 --> 00:04:47,119
Speaker 3: I used to think that Democrats were crazy for saying

77
00:04:47,160 --> 00:04:55,320
Speaker 3: that men have periods, but then I met Tim Walls.

78
00:04:56,240 --> 00:04:59,640
Speaker 1: A couple more buck that I loved. Kamala isn't there.

79
00:05:00,279 --> 00:05:02,960
Speaker 1: Gave his explanation for how they could have gotten her

80
00:05:03,000 --> 00:05:05,279
Speaker 1: to show up for this charity event. Cut sixteen.

81
00:05:05,520 --> 00:05:08,599
Speaker 3: Poles are indicating I'm leaving big with the Catholic vote,

82
00:05:09,440 --> 00:05:13,800
Speaker 3: as I should be, as I should do. But I

83
00:05:13,800 --> 00:05:16,800
Speaker 3: don't think Kamala has given up yet. She hasn't. Instead,

84
00:05:16,800 --> 00:05:22,160
Speaker 3: of attending tonight. She's in Michigan receiving communion from Gretchen Whitmer.

85
00:05:27,600 --> 00:05:32,080
Speaker 3: That's not a pretty sight. But Catholics, please don't be

86
00:05:32,240 --> 00:05:36,479
Speaker 3: too insulted by Kamala's absence. Democrats really wanted to have

87
00:05:36,600 --> 00:05:39,359
Speaker 3: someone not be with us this evening. They would have

88
00:05:39,800 --> 00:05:40,800
Speaker 3: just sent Joe Biden.

89
00:05:44,160 --> 00:05:47,080
Speaker 1: This was good stuff, buck, I thought Trump did did

90
00:05:47,200 --> 00:05:50,920
Speaker 1: very well in the roast section of this. And it's

91
00:05:50,960 --> 00:05:53,719
Speaker 1: interesting for me as I was watching this morning the

92
00:05:53,960 --> 00:05:56,560
Speaker 1: various shows I watched Trump on Fox and Friends that

93
00:05:56,600 --> 00:05:59,640
Speaker 1: I saw a bit of Morning Joe to see how

94
00:05:59,680 --> 00:06:01,920
Speaker 1: shred and upset they are at. Well, yeah, how did

95
00:06:01,920 --> 00:06:04,680
Speaker 1: they cover it on Morning Joe? I was actually curious

96
00:06:04,760 --> 00:06:09,000
Speaker 1: what their response would be. Oh there, They actually focused

97
00:06:09,040 --> 00:06:12,680
Speaker 1: on how Trump is just obsessed with the sixty minutes

98
00:06:12,720 --> 00:06:14,920
Speaker 1: interview that Kamala did. I'm sorry, with the Brett Baer

99
00:06:14,960 --> 00:06:18,840
Speaker 1: interview that Kamala did still and they I mean, I

100
00:06:18,839 --> 00:06:20,920
Speaker 1: didn't watch all four hours, so I didn't actually get

101
00:06:20,960 --> 00:06:23,640
Speaker 1: to all the conversations they were having about it. But

102
00:06:23,680 --> 00:06:27,719
Speaker 1: I can just tell you the Kamala's brave is the

103
00:06:27,880 --> 00:06:30,800
Speaker 1: is the line of the week. Kamala's brave for sitting

104
00:06:30,839 --> 00:06:36,040
Speaker 1: down once with Brett Bear from Fox News and they

105
00:06:36,080 --> 00:06:38,000
Speaker 1: didn't really want to get on too much into the

106
00:06:38,000 --> 00:06:41,839
Speaker 1: Alsmith dinner. I think Clay, because it's obviously weird that

107
00:06:41,880 --> 00:06:44,320
Speaker 1: she's not there. It's weird that she did not show

108
00:06:44,400 --> 00:06:49,080
Speaker 1: up very much show weird. And she did a canned

109
00:06:49,480 --> 00:06:54,600
Speaker 1: prepared with Molly what's her name from Bomb and he

110
00:06:54,640 --> 00:06:57,120
Speaker 1: did it like a four minute video or something that

111
00:06:57,240 --> 00:07:02,240
Speaker 1: was super weird. It was it was true horrible. It

112
00:07:01,560 --> 00:07:05,120
Speaker 1: was it was cringe inducing. It was not funny. And

113
00:07:05,200 --> 00:07:08,160
Speaker 1: I think that the only credit that I'll give to

114
00:07:08,200 --> 00:07:10,600
Speaker 1: Democrats is for every time now I want to say,

115
00:07:11,080 --> 00:07:13,840
Speaker 1: Kamala should have been there, she should have shown up.

116
00:07:14,200 --> 00:07:16,920
Speaker 1: There's something that should have been different in this strategy.

117
00:07:17,680 --> 00:07:20,000
Speaker 1: Every time she shows up anywhere, it's horrible, no matter

118
00:07:20,040 --> 00:07:22,920
Speaker 1: how stage managed it is, no matter how much she

119
00:07:23,040 --> 00:07:26,320
Speaker 1: gets prepped for it. Every time Kamala is exposed to

120
00:07:26,360 --> 00:07:29,800
Speaker 1: the public, the numbers start to go against her or

121
00:07:29,880 --> 00:07:32,560
Speaker 1: keep going against her. And so Clay, that's where I

122
00:07:32,600 --> 00:07:36,320
Speaker 1: think we're in a presidential election, and this is going

123
00:07:36,400 --> 00:07:39,880
Speaker 1: to be the case, I think for the foreseeable where

124
00:07:39,880 --> 00:07:42,600
Speaker 1: a degree of showmanship and media savvy is part of

125
00:07:42,600 --> 00:07:46,560
Speaker 1: the game. And I'm not just saying this Joe Biden.

126
00:07:46,720 --> 00:07:49,240
Speaker 1: It's not just because Buck Island sunk into the depths

127
00:07:49,240 --> 00:07:52,360
Speaker 1: of the ocean and Biden let all Buck Island residents down.

128
00:07:53,320 --> 00:07:56,480
Speaker 1: For all of the dementia and all of the shouty

129
00:07:56,560 --> 00:07:59,840
Speaker 1: bully stuff that Biden does, he does know when to grin.

130
00:08:00,360 --> 00:08:04,080
Speaker 1: He does have his lines. He does he has been

131
00:08:04,160 --> 00:08:10,040
Speaker 1: trained for fifty years to be this politician figure, and

132
00:08:10,080 --> 00:08:13,920
Speaker 1: he's able to pull that off. Kamala Harris is not

133
00:08:14,280 --> 00:08:19,000
Speaker 1: good at this. She is not somebody who, based on

134
00:08:19,040 --> 00:08:21,880
Speaker 1: the merits of her political skills, would have gotten ahead.

135
00:08:21,920 --> 00:08:23,920
Speaker 1: And I know people say, well, how is she vice president?

136
00:08:24,480 --> 00:08:27,320
Speaker 1: She was picked? You know, she was chosen, and she

137
00:08:27,400 --> 00:08:29,400
Speaker 1: wasn't chosen because she was so amazing and did some

138
00:08:29,480 --> 00:08:32,679
Speaker 1: on the primary. How did she become the presidential nominee?

139
00:08:32,760 --> 00:08:38,080
Speaker 1: She was chosen? How did she become the district attorney chosen?

140
00:08:38,160 --> 00:08:40,400
Speaker 1: I mean, you look at all these things in that

141
00:08:40,440 --> 00:08:43,480
Speaker 1: case by the Democrat apparatus. But she's not good at

142
00:08:43,480 --> 00:08:46,400
Speaker 1: winning people over. And I think as much as it

143
00:08:46,440 --> 00:08:48,360
Speaker 1: was weird, she wasn't there. What I'm trying to say

144
00:08:48,400 --> 00:08:50,040
Speaker 1: is I think it would have been worse if she

145
00:08:50,200 --> 00:08:52,640
Speaker 1: was clay, because that's how bad at this she is.

146
00:08:52,760 --> 00:08:56,040
Speaker 1: She can't be funny, she can't be likable, and we

147
00:08:56,160 --> 00:08:57,920
Speaker 1: just got to stay focused on the task at hand,

148
00:08:57,960 --> 00:09:01,520
Speaker 1: because victory is within Trump's grasp. The only reason she

149
00:09:02,120 --> 00:09:04,480
Speaker 1: wasn't there is, I think what you hit on the

150
00:09:04,520 --> 00:09:07,439
Speaker 1: fact that they thought she would be so bad at

151
00:09:07,480 --> 00:09:10,520
Speaker 1: this because Hillary showed up in twenty sixteen and I

152
00:09:10,520 --> 00:09:14,120
Speaker 1: thought was pretty good and certainly everybody else. Let me

153
00:09:14,200 --> 00:09:15,720
Speaker 1: hit you with a couple of more of these jokes,

154
00:09:15,720 --> 00:09:19,520
Speaker 1: because I really did think that he dominated. Chuck Schumer

155
00:09:19,600 --> 00:09:22,720
Speaker 1: was sitting next to him, and Trump turned to Chuck

156
00:09:22,760 --> 00:09:24,719
Speaker 1: Schumer and said, this cut.

157
00:09:24,440 --> 00:09:30,120
Speaker 3: Tin, Chuck Schumer is here looking very glumb. This day

158
00:09:30,160 --> 00:09:35,120
Speaker 3: looks c love me, it looks lovely. But look on

159
00:09:35,240 --> 00:09:39,280
Speaker 3: the bright set, Chuck, considering how woke your party has become.

160
00:09:40,080 --> 00:09:42,280
Speaker 3: If Kamala loses, you used to have a chance to

161
00:09:42,320 --> 00:09:44,160
Speaker 3: become the first woman president.

162
00:09:49,640 --> 00:09:53,120
Speaker 1: And one more that I thought was just great, Trump

163
00:09:53,200 --> 00:09:58,320
Speaker 1: going after Doug m. Hoff, Kamala's husband, cut thirteen.

164
00:09:58,280 --> 00:10:01,520
Speaker 3: A major issue in this race his childcare, and Kamala

165
00:10:01,600 --> 00:10:05,320
Speaker 3: has put forward a concept of a plan. A lot

166
00:10:05,320 --> 00:10:07,600
Speaker 3: of people don't like it. The only piece of advice

167
00:10:07,640 --> 00:10:10,400
Speaker 3: I would have for her and the event that she wins,

168
00:10:10,440 --> 00:10:14,719
Speaker 3: would be not to let her husband Doug anywhere near

169
00:10:14,760 --> 00:10:16,280
Speaker 3: the nannies. Just keep them away.

170
00:10:17,480 --> 00:10:22,680
Speaker 1: That's a nasty one. That's nasty. That was the only

171
00:10:22,720 --> 00:10:24,920
Speaker 1: one where I got to say. I was like, ooh,

172
00:10:25,000 --> 00:10:28,040
Speaker 1: I want it. I loved it. I loved it, and

173
00:10:28,120 --> 00:10:30,120
Speaker 1: I loved that. He said, oh, that's an I got

174
00:10:30,120 --> 00:10:32,480
Speaker 1: one more for you, because this is also tying in

175
00:10:32,520 --> 00:10:34,640
Speaker 1: with New York City. Eric Adams was there, and there

176
00:10:34,679 --> 00:10:38,760
Speaker 1: were some good Eric Adams jokes, but cut eleven. He

177
00:10:38,800 --> 00:10:41,240
Speaker 1: said he had to finish his roast for this reason.

178
00:10:41,559 --> 00:10:44,080
Speaker 3: Well, I had better wrap up because Mayor Adams told

179
00:10:44,120 --> 00:10:47,400
Speaker 3: me earlier that I needed to make this one very quick,

180
00:10:47,520 --> 00:10:51,360
Speaker 3: especially the city has reserved this room for a large

181
00:10:51,360 --> 00:10:53,920
Speaker 3: group of illegal aliens coming in from Texas.

182
00:10:55,000 --> 00:10:56,559
Speaker 1: That's right, They've reserved.

183
00:10:56,120 --> 00:10:59,720
Speaker 3: Many rooms, many rooms, a lot of rooms, too many rooms.

184
00:11:00,679 --> 00:11:04,480
Speaker 1: I like what he said, Mayor Adams sponsored by Turkish Airline.

185
00:11:04,720 --> 00:11:07,600
Speaker 1: That was really really funny. That was a great line.

186
00:11:07,760 --> 00:11:10,560
Speaker 1: There was I mean GAFFI I thought Gaffigan's best line

187
00:11:10,600 --> 00:11:16,640
Speaker 1: buck I wrote it down was uh he said, uhh

188
00:11:17,080 --> 00:11:19,720
Speaker 1: that basically ten million is a lot because they were

189
00:11:19,720 --> 00:11:22,559
Speaker 1: talking about the money they were raising there. Ten million

190
00:11:22,640 --> 00:11:24,800
Speaker 1: is a lot considering you can get a mayor for

191
00:11:24,840 --> 00:11:27,719
Speaker 1: two business class seats on Turkish air lines. I mean,

192
00:11:27,960 --> 00:11:31,520
Speaker 1: that's that's a pretty good line that the Jim gag.

193
00:11:31,679 --> 00:11:34,840
Speaker 1: That was a gaffigan gafigan. Look, I thought that he did.

194
00:11:35,360 --> 00:11:38,400
Speaker 1: Remember it's not supposed to be attack one side and

195
00:11:38,440 --> 00:11:40,440
Speaker 1: not the other. I think he gave both sides some

196
00:11:40,600 --> 00:11:42,600
Speaker 1: guff I think he gave them both a little bit

197
00:11:42,600 --> 00:11:45,360
Speaker 1: of a razzing and uh and I think that he

198
00:11:45,400 --> 00:11:47,439
Speaker 1: did a very good job actually, and he kept it clean.

199
00:11:47,520 --> 00:11:49,960
Speaker 1: There was nothing that you know, you didn't get a

200
00:11:50,000 --> 00:11:52,880
Speaker 1: sense that he was trying to get the you know, yes,

201
00:11:53,000 --> 00:11:55,720
Speaker 1: Queen left like clapping for him and everything else. He

202
00:11:55,760 --> 00:11:57,720
Speaker 1: actually did the task at hand. I thought he was

203
00:11:57,840 --> 00:12:00,200
Speaker 1: very I thought he was very good for what what's

204
00:12:00,240 --> 00:12:03,600
Speaker 1: supposed to be. Yeah, and look, we talk about bravery

205
00:12:03,640 --> 00:12:06,439
Speaker 1: from Kamala because she set for Fox News. What about

206
00:12:06,440 --> 00:12:10,319
Speaker 1: Trump rolling into a room. Letitia James is on the

207
00:12:10,440 --> 00:12:17,120
Speaker 1: rostrum there, Kathy Hokeel, Chuck Schumer, Kirsten gillibrand lots of

208
00:12:17,240 --> 00:12:20,880
Speaker 1: people in New York Democrat politics who have not only

209
00:12:20,920 --> 00:12:23,640
Speaker 1: tried to bankrupt him, they have tried to put him

210
00:12:23,640 --> 00:12:26,040
Speaker 1: in prison for the rest of his life. They have

211
00:12:26,160 --> 00:12:29,520
Speaker 1: gone through every aspect of his life with a fine

212
00:12:29,559 --> 00:12:33,800
Speaker 1: tooth comb, looking for the smallest possible detail to be

213
00:12:33,880 --> 00:12:37,360
Speaker 1: able to exploit to their political advantage. They have, in

214
00:12:37,400 --> 00:12:41,240
Speaker 1: my mind, created a situation where people feel like they

215
00:12:41,240 --> 00:12:44,160
Speaker 1: need to kill him because they have branded him as Hitler.

216
00:12:44,640 --> 00:12:48,440
Speaker 1: And he rolled in there and delivered. I'm telling you,

217
00:12:48,520 --> 00:12:50,480
Speaker 1: please go watch this. You just heard a bunch of

218
00:12:50,480 --> 00:12:53,920
Speaker 1: the jokes. But what I thought was good was it

219
00:12:54,040 --> 00:12:57,600
Speaker 1: mixed the humor with somber reflection upon the fact that

220
00:12:57,640 --> 00:12:59,680
Speaker 1: he felt fortunate to be able to be there at

221
00:12:59,720 --> 00:13:02,720
Speaker 1: the chair event because he felt like it was a

222
00:13:02,720 --> 00:13:06,360
Speaker 1: blessing from God that he's not dead, and Milania was

223
00:13:06,440 --> 00:13:10,000
Speaker 1: there with him, and I just thought it was a

224
00:13:10,040 --> 00:13:13,960
Speaker 1: home run event for Trump. And again, you know this, Buck,

225
00:13:14,000 --> 00:13:16,120
Speaker 1: But I think our audience needs to still kind of

226
00:13:16,240 --> 00:13:21,199
Speaker 1: conceptualize the modern media environment. Whatever happens happens, and people

227
00:13:21,280 --> 00:13:25,200
Speaker 1: can watch it, but then the reverberations, the echoes of

228
00:13:25,280 --> 00:13:29,240
Speaker 1: all of these incidents play out on social media for

229
00:13:29,280 --> 00:13:32,040
Speaker 1: the next four or five days, and people who never

230
00:13:32,080 --> 00:13:34,480
Speaker 1: would have seen it before see it. And I'm telling you,

231
00:13:34,520 --> 00:13:36,760
Speaker 1: these Trump jokes, the ones that I played for you

232
00:13:37,240 --> 00:13:40,760
Speaker 1: for young voters out there, are going to make him

233
00:13:41,120 --> 00:13:44,320
Speaker 1: really hard to dislike. I just thought this was a

234
00:13:44,360 --> 00:13:48,080
Speaker 1: home run. Like it reminded me a bit. Remember when

235
00:13:48,160 --> 00:13:52,000
Speaker 1: Ricky Gervais did that phenomenal open at the Golden Globes

236
00:13:52,040 --> 00:13:54,520
Speaker 1: where he showed up and just threw everything right in

237
00:13:54,559 --> 00:13:58,199
Speaker 1: Hollywood's face and they had to laugh with him. Felt

238
00:13:58,200 --> 00:14:01,080
Speaker 1: like that with Trump to me, showing up right there

239
00:14:01,120 --> 00:14:04,240
Speaker 1: in the heart of liberal New York City and just

240
00:14:04,480 --> 00:14:07,360
Speaker 1: owning the night felt like Ricky Gervay's a bit at

241
00:14:07,400 --> 00:14:11,280
Speaker 1: the Golden globe several years ago. Although Trump is very

242
00:14:11,400 --> 00:14:15,240
Speaker 1: much of them. And you know, he's been a fixture

243
00:14:15,240 --> 00:14:17,400
Speaker 1: at the Al Smith Dinner for a long time, right,

244
00:14:17,480 --> 00:14:20,680
Speaker 1: So he's not like the from showbiz too. I mean,

245
00:14:21,400 --> 00:14:23,320
Speaker 1: I know, but I'm just saying, it's not like he

246
00:14:23,360 --> 00:14:25,400
Speaker 1: came in there and doesn't have a long I don't

247
00:14:25,440 --> 00:14:28,120
Speaker 1: think Ricky Gervais had ever hosted that thing before. I

248
00:14:28,160 --> 00:14:30,840
Speaker 1: mean Trump. There there are people who argue that Trump

249
00:14:30,840 --> 00:14:33,280
Speaker 1: decided to run because Barack Obama made fun of him

250
00:14:33,280 --> 00:14:35,400
Speaker 1: at the Al Smith Dinner. You know, I mean there's

251
00:14:35,400 --> 00:14:39,880
Speaker 1: a there's a real White House corresponding. But yes, that

252
00:14:39,960 --> 00:14:42,520
Speaker 1: is yeah. But but you know, there's a real history

253
00:14:42,520 --> 00:14:46,120
Speaker 1: of Trump being at al Smith twenty sixteen against Hillary, right,

254
00:14:46,160 --> 00:14:49,960
Speaker 1: I mean this is yeah, which he he referenced it. Look,

255
00:14:50,000 --> 00:14:52,080
Speaker 1: I thought, I thought he did very very well. And

256
00:14:52,640 --> 00:14:54,320
Speaker 1: I don't know if this moves the needle in any way,

257
00:14:54,360 --> 00:14:56,480
Speaker 1: but it does just prove everything we say about Kamlin

258
00:14:56,520 --> 00:15:02,000
Speaker 1: Trump's ability with UH performing and connecting. I'll put it

259
00:15:02,000 --> 00:15:05,200
Speaker 1: this way. Do you remember Adolf Hitler ever killing at

260
00:15:05,240 --> 00:15:08,480
Speaker 1: a charity event with great jokes? Don't remember that as

261
00:15:08,520 --> 00:15:11,960
Speaker 1: part of the Nazi parties Adolf Hitler World. No, the

262
00:15:12,000 --> 00:15:14,640
Speaker 1: furor was not known for stand up. That is true. Yes,

263
00:15:14,720 --> 00:15:18,520
Speaker 1: I think that's right. Hillsdale College, Look, I love this place.

264
00:15:18,560 --> 00:15:21,600
Speaker 1: Their tireless and their educational pursuits. They take back to

265
00:15:21,680 --> 00:15:25,480
Speaker 1: basics approaches, something that's sorely missing at so many other

266
00:15:25,560 --> 00:15:29,240
Speaker 1: schools you see that focus on woke ideology. The University

267
00:15:29,240 --> 00:15:32,280
Speaker 1: of Michigan is a big article, two hundred and fifty

268
00:15:32,440 --> 00:15:35,880
Speaker 1: million dollars they've spent on DEI. I was reading this

269
00:15:36,040 --> 00:15:39,760
Speaker 1: article and all it did was destroy the entire fabric

270
00:15:39,880 --> 00:15:42,520
Speaker 1: of the University. That's not happening at Hillsdale. They are

271
00:15:42,560 --> 00:15:47,360
Speaker 1: focusing on eternal truths and history and the importance of

272
00:15:47,400 --> 00:15:50,400
Speaker 1: founding documents, and right now they're giving away free copies

00:16:42,720 --> 00:16:47,480
Speaker 1: in Clay Travis buck Sexton Show. We like the joke.

287
00:16:47,920 --> 00:16:52,280
Speaker 1: They are echoing, reverberating all over the internet. People love them.

288
00:16:52,360 --> 00:16:56,840
Speaker 1: But on MSNBC al Sharpton Buck said that this was

289
00:16:56,880 --> 00:17:00,720
Speaker 1: offensive Cut twenty one.

290
00:17:00,960 --> 00:17:03,520
Speaker 5: I think it's been clear for those of us that

291
00:17:03,640 --> 00:17:06,439
Speaker 5: have known and dealt with Donald Trump throwing con for

292
00:17:06,600 --> 00:17:10,560
Speaker 5: years that he is really, in many ways not the

293
00:17:10,640 --> 00:17:13,760
Speaker 5: Donald Trump that we fought or that we dealt with.

294
00:17:13,840 --> 00:17:17,879
Speaker 5: No energy, There no sound bites that make sense. He's

295
00:17:17,960 --> 00:17:21,080
Speaker 5: lost it, and I think that it's almost like pushing

296
00:17:21,080 --> 00:17:23,760
Speaker 5: an old boxer back in the ring that you know

297
00:17:23,880 --> 00:17:25,880
Speaker 5: he can't fight, but just tell them the hold on

298
00:17:26,240 --> 00:17:28,440
Speaker 5: to the tenth round, and they're trying to make him

299
00:17:28,480 --> 00:17:31,280
Speaker 5: hold on, and he just doesn't have it. He's sitting

300
00:17:31,320 --> 00:17:33,440
Speaker 5: in the stool saying, I don't want to go back

301
00:17:33,440 --> 00:17:36,199
Speaker 5: out there. I mean last night his appearance at the

302
00:17:36,200 --> 00:17:36,639
Speaker 5: Alfred E.

303
00:17:36,800 --> 00:17:38,800
Speaker 1: Smith dinner was ridiculous.

304
00:17:38,840 --> 00:17:41,520
Speaker 5: It was offensive, and it was way off the mob.

305
00:17:43,119 --> 00:17:46,040
Speaker 1: Like some of these arguments, Buck, you could make arguments

306
00:17:46,080 --> 00:17:48,120
Speaker 1: about Trump that you don't like him, things like that.

307
00:17:49,000 --> 00:17:52,400
Speaker 1: I don't know that I've ever seen Trump more on

308
00:17:52,600 --> 00:17:55,960
Speaker 1: the mark in terms of humor, in terms of working

309
00:17:56,000 --> 00:17:59,040
Speaker 1: the room. Listen to what Kamala's team put out after

310
00:17:59,119 --> 00:18:03,280
Speaker 1: she did that awful, stupid video. Donald Trump struggled to

311
00:18:03,359 --> 00:18:08,359
Speaker 1: read scripted notes written by his handlers, repeatedly complained that

312
00:18:08,400 --> 00:18:12,400
Speaker 1: he couldn't use a teleprompter. He stumbled over his words,

313
00:18:12,600 --> 00:18:15,720
Speaker 1: lashed out when the crowd wouldn't laugh with him. The

314
00:18:15,880 --> 00:18:18,680
Speaker 1: rare moments he was off script, he went on long

315
00:18:18,880 --> 00:18:24,959
Speaker 1: incomprehensible rambles, reminding Americans how unstable he's become. And of

316
00:18:25,000 --> 00:18:28,240
Speaker 1: course he made it all about himself. He may refuse

317
00:18:28,280 --> 00:18:31,400
Speaker 1: to release his medical records, but every day he makes

318
00:18:31,440 --> 00:18:34,439
Speaker 1: it clear to the American people he's not up to

319
00:18:34,520 --> 00:18:41,320
Speaker 1: the job. I watched the entire speech. It is crazy

320
00:18:41,320 --> 00:18:44,520
Speaker 1: to me that that could be what anyone could take

321
00:18:44,680 --> 00:18:47,440
Speaker 1: away from this. And Buck, I can't believe I'm gonna

322
00:18:47,440 --> 00:18:52,560
Speaker 1: say this. Brian Stelter on CNN actually made sense. I

323
00:18:52,600 --> 00:18:56,040
Speaker 1: can't believe I'm saying it. Buck. Listen to Cut twenty two.

324
00:18:56,800 --> 00:19:01,000
Speaker 1: Brian Stelter, fresh off his fresh cry over COVID, he

325
00:19:01,040 --> 00:19:03,080
Speaker 1: went on and said Trumble was pretty good.

326
00:19:03,440 --> 00:19:04,840
Speaker 6: Oh no, don't ask me. First.

327
00:19:05,440 --> 00:19:06,520
Speaker 1: I thought he was funny.

328
00:19:06,960 --> 00:19:08,840
Speaker 6: I thought he actually got a few great jokes in.

329
00:19:09,200 --> 00:19:10,840
Speaker 6: I thought the best moment was we talked about the

330
00:19:10,840 --> 00:19:14,240
Speaker 6: assassination attempts and made light of what he's experienced because

331
00:19:14,240 --> 00:19:17,960
Speaker 6: I think he's experiencing real trauma, real PTSD as a

332
00:19:18,000 --> 00:19:21,520
Speaker 6: result of the shootings, but he's still able to have

333
00:19:22,040 --> 00:19:25,440
Speaker 6: a light moment in this room, and he took advantage

334
00:19:25,440 --> 00:19:27,440
Speaker 6: of the fact that Kamala Harris wasn't there.

335
00:19:28,960 --> 00:19:32,960
Speaker 1: Right, I can't believe it much other than the yeah,

336
00:19:33,200 --> 00:19:37,080
Speaker 1: I have a theory. Okay. You may have seen recently

337
00:19:37,880 --> 00:19:42,520
Speaker 1: that Mark Zuckerberg has put on a little muscle, been

338
00:19:42,560 --> 00:19:46,480
Speaker 1: doing some jiu jitsu, grown a beard, is a little

339
00:19:46,560 --> 00:19:49,720
Speaker 1: more dare I say, masculine. And now it could just

340
00:19:49,760 --> 00:19:52,520
Speaker 1: be you know, higher protein intake, going to the gym

341
00:19:52,680 --> 00:19:55,720
Speaker 1: or whatever. But as that has happened, he has also

342
00:19:55,840 --> 00:19:59,160
Speaker 1: gotten a little more to the right. He's not right wing,

343
00:19:59,240 --> 00:20:03,720
Speaker 1: but he is just certainly tacking toward the right. Brian Stelter,

344
00:20:04,040 --> 00:20:05,840
Speaker 1: is it possible? I mean, I don't know. Is he

345
00:20:05,920 --> 00:20:09,439
Speaker 1: hitting some chalk? Is he hitting maybe a little little trt,

346
00:20:09,640 --> 00:20:11,920
Speaker 1: you know, maybe taking some peptides or something. Is Is

347
00:20:12,640 --> 00:20:18,879
Speaker 1: he going against the trend of Stelter's particular lack of

348
00:20:19,119 --> 00:20:21,520
Speaker 1: masculinity by saying, you know what, I'm gonna man up

349
00:20:21,800 --> 00:20:24,880
Speaker 1: and I finally have a little bit of intestinal fortitude.

350
00:20:24,920 --> 00:20:26,719
Speaker 1: I'm just throwing it out. There's a theory because as

351
00:20:26,760 --> 00:20:29,359
Speaker 1: people get as people get a little more masculine, they

352
00:20:29,359 --> 00:20:31,120
Speaker 1: get a little more right wing, tends to be the

353
00:20:31,720 --> 00:20:34,720
Speaker 1: what we see happening in public. I love the idea

354
00:20:34,720 --> 00:20:39,320
Speaker 1: of having testosterone level test for Trump and Commala voters

355
00:20:39,320 --> 00:20:43,080
Speaker 1: who are male, because I think, much as the NPR

356
00:20:43,160 --> 00:20:46,760
Speaker 1: guys like tested off the charts on the far end

357
00:20:46,840 --> 00:20:50,520
Speaker 1: of basically having no testosterone, I think that most of

358
00:20:50,560 --> 00:20:54,639
Speaker 1: the white dudes for Harris, and the black dudes for Harris,

359
00:20:54,680 --> 00:20:57,880
Speaker 1: and the Asian dudes for Harris, and the Hispanic dudes

360
00:20:57,920 --> 00:20:59,960
Speaker 1: for Harris, I think a lot of them have high

361
00:21:00,080 --> 00:21:02,840
Speaker 1: the tiny testostero levels better. Can I just tell you

362
00:21:02,960 --> 00:21:07,560
Speaker 1: quite like I think if you had a real like,

363
00:21:07,600 --> 00:21:10,080
Speaker 1: if you did some the same way, you can pull

364
00:21:10,119 --> 00:21:12,640
Speaker 1: the relatively small group and extrapolate from that. I think

365
00:21:12,680 --> 00:21:15,600
Speaker 1: if you did of just of men, I think you

366
00:21:15,640 --> 00:21:19,840
Speaker 1: would find that there is in fact a standard deviation

367
00:21:20,080 --> 00:21:24,160
Speaker 1: difference in age correlated right. And you know, a twenty

368
00:21:24,240 --> 00:21:27,760
Speaker 1: year old Kamala male Kamala voter is going to have

369
00:21:27,840 --> 00:21:29,560
Speaker 1: more testoster than you'd me because you know when you're

370
00:21:29,560 --> 00:21:31,280
Speaker 1: when you're in your twenties, that's really when you're at

371
00:21:31,280 --> 00:21:34,679
Speaker 1: your absolute peak age correlated, I think that men voting

372
00:21:34,720 --> 00:21:38,000
Speaker 1: for Kamala have a standard deviation or you know, a

373
00:21:38,040 --> 00:21:43,200
Speaker 1: substantially statistically significant degree lower testosterone. I think that's true,

374
00:21:43,200 --> 00:21:44,920
Speaker 1: and I think that's why they're so sensitive about the

375
00:21:44,960 --> 00:21:47,879
Speaker 1: masculinity conversation which I got caught up in in the

376
00:21:47,880 --> 00:21:50,840
Speaker 1: Bill Mars Show. I think it's reality. I think you're right.

377
00:21:51,240 --> 00:21:54,080
Speaker 1: By the way, Cameron in Virginia wants to call in,

378
00:21:54,119 --> 00:21:55,840
Speaker 1: she got a question for us. Cameron, what's up?

379
00:21:56,960 --> 00:21:59,760
Speaker 7: Hey, guys. First of all, love the show, listen every

380
00:21:59,800 --> 00:22:02,600
Speaker 7: day while my kids are at school. And I have

381
00:22:02,720 --> 00:22:06,200
Speaker 7: a theory. I was listening to the Al Smith's remarks

382
00:22:06,200 --> 00:22:08,240
Speaker 7: from Trump last night and I looked at my husband

383
00:22:08,240 --> 00:22:14,400
Speaker 7: and I said, Clay Travis wrote these jokes that would

384
00:22:14,480 --> 00:22:18,400
Speaker 7: be you last week. You do comedy, and those were

385
00:22:18,560 --> 00:22:21,840
Speaker 7: your jokes. That was your material and it was funny.

386
00:22:23,080 --> 00:22:25,280
Speaker 1: I did not write thank you for the call camera,

387
00:22:25,320 --> 00:22:28,679
Speaker 1: and I do think the jokes are really funny. I

388
00:22:28,720 --> 00:22:31,320
Speaker 1: did not. I was not involved in writing the jokes.

389
00:22:31,480 --> 00:22:35,159
Speaker 1: I did do the comedy show with Adam Carolla in

390
00:22:35,359 --> 00:22:37,800
Speaker 1: Zany's last week and we had a lot of fun.

391
00:22:37,880 --> 00:22:41,200
Speaker 1: His podcast is up we had Adam Carolla on the program.

392
00:22:41,359 --> 00:22:43,800
Speaker 1: We have audio video of Clay doing stand up because

393
00:22:43,840 --> 00:22:46,600
Speaker 1: this needs to go up on clayanbuck dot com. I

394
00:22:46,640 --> 00:22:49,080
Speaker 1: don't know if there's that's a great question, and it

395
00:22:49,119 --> 00:22:51,199
Speaker 1: wasn't really stand up, but he was on a stool.

396
00:22:51,359 --> 00:22:53,080
Speaker 1: I was on a stool. We were kind of just

397
00:22:53,080 --> 00:22:56,639
Speaker 1: making jokes, going back and forth. But I said before

398
00:22:56,680 --> 00:23:00,080
Speaker 1: and I would do this, I should do another. I

399
00:23:00,080 --> 00:23:03,959
Speaker 1: should do a stand up performance. I think again, I

400
00:23:03,960 --> 00:23:06,399
Speaker 1: think I could kill it after the election, when things

401
00:23:06,440 --> 00:23:09,160
Speaker 1: calm down. I think that would be a really fun

402
00:23:09,200 --> 00:23:11,159
Speaker 1: thing to do, just to go out. I'm not going

403
00:23:11,240 --> 00:23:14,439
Speaker 1: to test the material, right. So the one advantage that

404
00:23:14,480 --> 00:23:17,280
Speaker 1: comedians have, Buck, is you can figure out how to

405
00:23:17,840 --> 00:23:20,680
Speaker 1: organize your joke based on how the crowd responds. I

406
00:23:20,720 --> 00:23:23,359
Speaker 1: would argue this is what Trump does so well. He

407
00:23:23,400 --> 00:23:25,879
Speaker 1: has an intuitive sense for how to work a crowd

408
00:23:25,920 --> 00:23:27,520
Speaker 1: and work a room. And you could hear it with

409
00:23:27,560 --> 00:23:33,000
Speaker 1: that Al Smith event last night, and he is able

410
00:23:33,119 --> 00:23:36,760
Speaker 1: to craft a speech that works well based on knowing

411
00:23:36,800 --> 00:23:40,360
Speaker 1: how the crowd responds. And that's basically what comedians do.

412
00:23:40,440 --> 00:23:41,639
Speaker 1: I mean, they got a lot of jokes and they

413
00:23:41,680 --> 00:23:44,040
Speaker 1: figure out how to put them together. Look from a

414
00:23:44,119 --> 00:23:50,840
Speaker 1: purely entertainment and comedia comedian or comedic appreciation point of view,

415
00:23:51,640 --> 00:23:55,680
Speaker 1: we gotta have Trump for four more years because everyone

416
00:23:55,760 --> 00:23:58,560
Speaker 1: knows I would JD. I was like the original conductor

417
00:23:58,560 --> 00:24:02,520
Speaker 1: on the JD Vents for VP. Okay, but not as

418
00:24:02,520 --> 00:24:05,240
Speaker 1: funny as Trump. No one's gonna be as funny as Trump.

419
00:24:05,320 --> 00:24:07,399
Speaker 1: As Trump and politics, and it's not that big of

420
00:24:07,400 --> 00:24:09,720
Speaker 1: a deal. But I'm just saying it's gonna be whoever

421
00:24:09,760 --> 00:24:12,280
Speaker 1: it is going forward, it's gonna be a letdown. And

422
00:24:12,320 --> 00:24:15,920
Speaker 1: I don't just mean funny, I mean entertainment value. Clake,

423
00:24:16,040 --> 00:24:19,280
Speaker 1: think of all the jobs created by Trump, just in

424
00:24:19,359 --> 00:24:23,600
Speaker 1: terms of Trump impersonators. That guy Shane Gillis, I've never

425
00:24:23,640 --> 00:24:26,840
Speaker 1: seen a clip go as viral of any comedy thing

426
00:24:26,960 --> 00:24:30,760
Speaker 1: I think in my life as him doing beautiful Dogs

427
00:24:30,840 --> 00:24:34,160
Speaker 1: and talking about you know, the raid on back Daddy.

428
00:24:34,400 --> 00:24:37,320
Speaker 1: He cried. I said, don't cry about like that whole thing.

429
00:24:38,000 --> 00:24:42,000
Speaker 1: That was incredible. Trump has brought this whole component to

430
00:24:42,040 --> 00:24:48,520
Speaker 1: American politics of the great entertainer mixed with the political leader,

431
00:24:48,560 --> 00:24:51,760
Speaker 1: which I mean Reagan back in the day. Funny, but

432
00:24:51,920 --> 00:24:55,680
Speaker 1: Reagan was always Reagan, like he wasn't a stand up guy. Also,

433
00:24:56,200 --> 00:25:00,520
Speaker 1: this is why I've always found the Trump as Hitler

434
00:25:00,600 --> 00:25:05,040
Speaker 1: attack line to be so patently absurd. And I was

435
00:25:05,080 --> 00:25:08,159
Speaker 1: kind of making a joke about it, but maybe I've

436
00:25:08,200 --> 00:25:11,159
Speaker 1: missed it. Maybe Lenny reef install in her Triumph of

437
00:25:11,200 --> 00:25:14,280
Speaker 1: the Will movie, like on the cutting room floor, was

438
00:25:14,359 --> 00:25:18,240
Speaker 1: Hitler just dominating with jokes. I don't think this is

439
00:25:18,280 --> 00:25:20,320
Speaker 1: a minor point you make. Can I think it's a

440
00:25:20,400 --> 00:25:23,639
Speaker 1: poor point. I think it's important because tyrants don't have

441
00:25:23,640 --> 00:25:26,120
Speaker 1: a sense of humor. Kuran did not have a sense

442
00:25:26,240 --> 00:25:28,280
Speaker 1: didn't Binlan did not have a sense of humor. Stalin

443
00:25:28,359 --> 00:25:30,040
Speaker 1: did not have a sense of humor. Hitler did not

444
00:25:30,080 --> 00:25:32,159
Speaker 1: have a sense of sense of pol pot, go down

445
00:25:32,200 --> 00:25:35,040
Speaker 1: the list. These people are not funny. I've read their biography,

446
00:25:35,200 --> 00:25:39,200
Speaker 1: so I'm actually being serious about reviewing their lives. They

447
00:25:39,320 --> 00:25:42,000
Speaker 1: do not have a sense of humor. They are not amusing.

448
00:25:42,640 --> 00:25:46,400
Speaker 1: Trump is hilarious. So someone just square that one for me. Yeah,

449
00:25:46,440 --> 00:25:48,760
Speaker 1: and it is important, and I'm using it in kind

450
00:25:48,800 --> 00:25:51,280
Speaker 1: of a funny way to talk about the Hitler comparison,

451
00:25:51,720 --> 00:25:54,679
Speaker 1: but it does go to what the person is like

452
00:25:55,160 --> 00:26:00,000
Speaker 1: when you are a totalitarian dictator. Any mockery of you

453
00:26:00,480 --> 00:26:03,560
Speaker 1: is seen as a threat to the republic. This is

454
00:26:03,600 --> 00:26:08,520
Speaker 1: why totalitarians typically grab comedians and throw them in prison,

455
00:26:08,960 --> 00:26:13,960
Speaker 1: because satire and mockery is an affront to them, because

456
00:26:14,040 --> 00:26:19,119
Speaker 1: it questions their tottal complete control of power. Trump actually

457
00:26:19,160 --> 00:26:21,960
Speaker 1: has a great sense of humor, and he's willing to

458
00:26:22,080 --> 00:26:24,320
Speaker 1: be the butt of a joke. I was watching a

459
00:26:24,359 --> 00:26:27,760
Speaker 1: clip of him recently when he before he was a

460
00:26:27,800 --> 00:26:33,200
Speaker 1: politician on SNL at playing a role against somebody else.

461
00:26:33,800 --> 00:26:36,639
Speaker 1: He's really got a great sense of humor, and I

462
00:26:36,680 --> 00:26:39,879
Speaker 1: think this is one of the reasons why as people

463
00:26:39,920 --> 00:26:42,040
Speaker 1: spend more time watching him, and this is why some

464
00:26:42,080 --> 00:26:44,119
Speaker 1: of you say, oh, this is a stupid Al Smith dinner.

465
00:26:44,119 --> 00:26:45,720
Speaker 1: I don't know what you care about this, Clay. I

466
00:26:45,760 --> 00:26:49,480
Speaker 1: think it's important if you've got a grandson or you've

467
00:26:49,520 --> 00:26:52,520
Speaker 1: got a granddaughter out there that's a young voter, have

468
00:26:52,720 --> 00:26:55,840
Speaker 1: them watch that twenty six minute clip with you of

469
00:26:55,880 --> 00:26:58,840
Speaker 1: Trump at the Al Smith dinner. I think it's very

470
00:26:58,880 --> 00:27:01,680
Speaker 1: hard to diss like him now if you want to

471
00:27:01,720 --> 00:27:04,080
Speaker 1: disagree with some of his policies. I think he's right

472
00:27:04,160 --> 00:27:06,640
Speaker 1: on policy. But most of the time they don't even

473
00:27:06,760 --> 00:27:10,000
Speaker 1: go after his policy anymore. Buck, They just attack him

474
00:27:10,040 --> 00:27:14,520
Speaker 1: on his persona and his personal peccadillos and all these things,

475
00:27:14,840 --> 00:27:19,160
Speaker 1: as opposed to focusing on he's actually a pretty decent

476
00:27:19,280 --> 00:27:21,280
Speaker 1: dude who has a sense of humor and just thinks

477
00:27:21,280 --> 00:27:24,080
Speaker 1: the country's on the wrong track. Well, I was getting

478
00:27:24,119 --> 00:27:26,919
Speaker 1: toward this in the in the Bill Maher overtime Clay.

479
00:27:27,440 --> 00:27:28,600
Speaker 1: I don't know if I mean, if you saw that

480
00:27:28,640 --> 00:27:29,920
Speaker 1: part of it, but I said, you know, Bill, you've

481
00:27:29,880 --> 00:27:31,480
Speaker 1: got a big bankroll. Let's put a bet on this.

482
00:27:31,800 --> 00:27:34,800
Speaker 1: Because the panel, the entire panel, the three of them

483
00:27:34,880 --> 00:27:39,159
Speaker 1: versus me, it was He's going to end the country.

484
00:27:39,200 --> 00:27:41,280
Speaker 1: And I just, in all honesty, looked I'm like, guys,

485
00:27:41,400 --> 00:27:44,960
Speaker 1: this is just it's childish, it's insane. He's not going

486
00:27:45,040 --> 00:27:49,080
Speaker 1: to end the country. He's not going to destroy America.

487
00:27:49,200 --> 00:27:50,399
Speaker 1: And I looked at Bill. I was like, you got

488
00:27:50,440 --> 00:27:52,040
Speaker 1: a big bankroll. Bill makes a lot of money for

489
00:27:52,080 --> 00:27:54,919
Speaker 1: that show. Can we place a big bet on this

490
00:27:55,000 --> 00:27:57,280
Speaker 1: and establish what is destroy the country? I mean, can

491
00:27:57,320 --> 00:28:00,280
Speaker 1: we all agree that if America has gone through four

492
00:28:00,400 --> 00:28:04,679
Speaker 1: years of a above average to excellent economy and a

493
00:28:04,760 --> 00:28:07,879
Speaker 1: much more secure border and no new wars and a

494
00:28:07,920 --> 00:28:10,760
Speaker 1: free and fair election in twenty eight, will you then

495
00:28:10,840 --> 00:28:13,600
Speaker 1: agree that Trump didn't destroy the country, Like, can you

496
00:28:13,680 --> 00:28:16,440
Speaker 1: stop with this nonsense? And I'll tell you I would

497
00:28:16,440 --> 00:28:18,199
Speaker 1: put a lot of money down on this one because

498
00:28:18,240 --> 00:28:20,520
Speaker 1: I think they wouldn't do it, because I think a

499
00:28:20,520 --> 00:28:23,280
Speaker 1: lot of them don't believe what they say. And Chuck

500
00:28:23,320 --> 00:28:27,359
Speaker 1: Schumer's sitting there kind of smiling something, gingling some buck

501
00:28:27,440 --> 00:28:30,720
Speaker 1: that was important. They he doesn't hate Trump. He knows

502
00:28:30,720 --> 00:28:33,680
Speaker 1: it's bs. The other thing is And I think your

503
00:28:33,680 --> 00:28:37,560
Speaker 1: point is so well made. This is why Democrats saw

504
00:28:37,640 --> 00:28:42,400
Speaker 1: COVID as their salvation. They don't want to admit it,

505
00:28:42,960 --> 00:28:46,960
Speaker 1: but they know that Trump would have wiped the floor

506
00:28:47,160 --> 00:28:51,360
Speaker 1: with Biden but for their ability to rig the election

507
00:28:51,520 --> 00:28:54,200
Speaker 1: with all the ballots and everything else. But more importantly

508
00:28:54,240 --> 00:28:57,400
Speaker 1: than even leave aside, that they terrified. This is why

509
00:28:57,440 --> 00:29:00,479
Speaker 1: I can't forgive them. They terrified a lot of people

510
00:29:00,760 --> 00:29:03,040
Speaker 1: that they were going to die, and they were going

511
00:29:03,120 --> 00:29:05,840
Speaker 1: to die because of the way Trump was responding to COVID.

512
00:29:06,160 --> 00:29:08,440
Speaker 1: And they put Biden in the basement and they said

513
00:29:08,480 --> 00:29:10,920
Speaker 1: he'll bring things back to normal. And the reality is

514
00:29:10,960 --> 00:29:13,600
Speaker 1: if COVID had hit in twenty one as opposed to

515
00:29:13,680 --> 00:29:17,040
Speaker 1: twenty which is why, frankly, the fact that it came

516
00:29:17,080 --> 00:29:19,440
Speaker 1: out of the Chinese lab when it did has always

517
00:29:19,480 --> 00:29:22,520
Speaker 1: been suspicious to me, but the fact that it hid

518
00:29:22,600 --> 00:29:26,200
Speaker 1: in twenty enabled them to attack Trump. It was like

519
00:29:26,240 --> 00:29:31,600
Speaker 1: this virus was the physical manifestation of the evil rot

520
00:29:31,640 --> 00:29:34,960
Speaker 1: that they believe Trump represented, and they leaned into it

521
00:29:35,000 --> 00:29:38,080
Speaker 1: to grab as much power as they could. And now

522
00:29:38,480 --> 00:29:41,240
Speaker 1: I think you're seeing what may well have happened. If

523
00:29:41,320 --> 00:29:45,080
Speaker 1: twenty twenty COVID hadn't occurred, Trump would have won, and

524
00:29:45,160 --> 00:29:48,160
Speaker 1: I think you would have won comfortably and Buck looking

525
00:29:48,160 --> 00:29:50,760
Speaker 1: at these trend lines, I gotta tell you, I went

526
00:29:50,800 --> 00:29:52,720
Speaker 1: to bed with a great smile on my face because

527
00:29:52,760 --> 00:29:55,080
Speaker 1: of those Trump jokes. I appreciate Cameron giving me credit

528
00:29:55,120 --> 00:29:57,400
Speaker 1: for them, but it wasn't me. But you know what,

529
00:29:58,320 --> 00:30:01,480
Speaker 1: I am so confident with y'all out there early voting.

530
00:30:01,680 --> 00:30:03,959
Speaker 1: We'll talk about some of these North Carolina numbers here

531
00:30:04,000 --> 00:30:06,280
Speaker 1: a little bit later in the show. There are great

532
00:30:06,320 --> 00:30:10,600
Speaker 1: signs of Arizona that Trump supporters, Republicans, patriots are getting

533
00:30:10,640 --> 00:30:14,920
Speaker 1: to the polls. Go, go, go, take some of your

534
00:30:14,960 --> 00:30:18,000
Speaker 1: calls here coming up in just a second. But also,

535
00:30:18,040 --> 00:30:21,520
Speaker 1: you know, last night was the Alsmith Dinner, Big Catholic dinner,

536
00:30:22,040 --> 00:30:25,680
Speaker 1: and one thing that as a Catholic who is pro

537
00:30:25,760 --> 00:30:29,640
Speaker 1: life is honestly always just a shock to me, even

538
00:30:29,680 --> 00:30:30,960
Speaker 1: though I know this has been the case for a

539
00:30:30,960 --> 00:30:34,040
Speaker 1: long time, is how many far left democrat Catholics there

540
00:30:34,080 --> 00:30:37,200
Speaker 1: are who don't want to stand for life and who

541
00:30:37,240 --> 00:30:40,160
Speaker 1: think that there's no reason to protect the lives of

542
00:30:40,200 --> 00:30:42,360
Speaker 1: the unborn and the womb because that's what their politics

543
00:30:42,360 --> 00:30:44,560
Speaker 1: tell them. The point here, in my friends, is that

544
00:30:44,640 --> 00:30:46,960
Speaker 1: day in and day out, lives are being lost. We're

545
00:30:47,000 --> 00:30:51,280
Speaker 1: waging the battle politically and ideologically to convince people of

546
00:30:51,320 --> 00:30:53,960
Speaker 1: supporting lives. But there are lives that can be saved

547
00:30:54,040 --> 00:30:57,280
Speaker 1: right now today, and that's where Preborn comes in. They're

548
00:30:57,320 --> 00:30:59,280
Speaker 1: not waiting for all the laws to change, they're not

549
00:30:59,320 --> 00:31:02,160
Speaker 1: waiting for peace, including a lot of Catholics fellow Catholics

550
00:31:02,160 --> 00:31:04,680
Speaker 1: to wake up. They want to save lives right now,

551
00:31:04,720 --> 00:31:07,880
Speaker 1: and they do it through this beautiful process of helping

552
00:31:08,120 --> 00:31:11,600
Speaker 1: moms who are having a crisis pregnancy. They're scared, they

553
00:31:11,640 --> 00:31:14,120
Speaker 1: don't have the resources, they don't have the family support.

554
00:31:14,440 --> 00:31:17,760
Speaker 1: They come into a preborn clinic, they get the ultrasound.

555
00:31:18,040 --> 00:31:20,600
Speaker 1: The ultrasound shows them you have a tiny little human

556
00:31:21,000 --> 00:31:24,200
Speaker 1: in your belly right now and then they say, look,

557
00:31:24,480 --> 00:31:26,640
Speaker 1: you want to have this baby, which we really hope

558
00:31:26,640 --> 00:31:28,880
Speaker 1: you do. We're gonna give you food, We're gonna give

559
00:31:28,880 --> 00:31:31,200
Speaker 1: you assistance, will give you job placement assistants, will give

560
00:31:31,240 --> 00:31:34,440
Speaker 1: you resources, whatever we can. They will help in every

561
00:31:34,480 --> 00:31:38,760
Speaker 1: way they can so that that baby has life. This

562
00:31:38,880 --> 00:31:41,720
Speaker 1: is what Preborn does every day. The ultrasound is critical

563
00:31:41,720 --> 00:31:44,520
Speaker 1: in this experience because it establishes that bond between mother

564
00:31:44,880 --> 00:31:47,280
Speaker 1: and child, so she really knows it's not a clump

565
00:31:47,320 --> 00:31:50,160
Speaker 1: of cells, it's not nothing, it's a little baby, it's

566
00:31:50,160 --> 00:31:53,720
Speaker 1: her future son or daughter. Each ultrasound costs Preborn just

567
00:31:53,760 --> 00:31:56,440
Speaker 1: twenty eight dollars. If you can donate that amount, or

568
00:31:56,440 --> 00:31:58,760
Speaker 1: even five times that amount, one hundred and forty dollars,

569
00:31:59,120 --> 00:32:03,160
Speaker 1: think about this. Contribute to saving the lives of a baby,

570
00:32:03,440 --> 00:32:07,840
Speaker 1: five babies, ten babies. Whatever you can donate, Please use

579
00:32:35,160 --> 00:32:38,960
Speaker 1: There's a little bit of hysteria that is growing in

580
00:32:39,000 --> 00:32:42,960
Speaker 1: the media ranks. We'll get into why this is. We

581
00:32:43,440 --> 00:32:45,760
Speaker 1: have new numbers coming in. Clay's gonna break down latest

582
00:32:45,800 --> 00:32:48,920
Speaker 1: numbers Nate Silver. I mean, yeah, the guy's famous for

583
00:32:49,240 --> 00:32:53,280
Speaker 1: number crunching. But also it's clearly not a not a

584
00:32:53,360 --> 00:32:56,080
Speaker 1: Republican or it's not like this is some close friend

585
00:32:56,080 --> 00:32:59,479
Speaker 1: of Trump's that's telling you to poll or that he's

586
00:32:59,520 --> 00:33:02,320
Speaker 1: got pulled data for you. I think that he's trying

587
00:33:02,320 --> 00:33:04,320
Speaker 1: to make a name for himself or continue to build

588
00:33:04,400 --> 00:33:08,200
Speaker 1: his brand on being accurate, and the latest numbers from

589
00:33:08,280 --> 00:33:11,719
Speaker 1: him are very friendly for Trump. We've also got our

590
00:33:11,720 --> 00:33:14,720
Speaker 1: friend Ryan Gerdusky out there on CNN. You'll love to

591
00:33:14,760 --> 00:33:20,080
Speaker 1: see it, just spewing truth, spitting facts, laying down the

592
00:33:20,160 --> 00:33:23,200
Speaker 1: law however you want to say it over there. And

593
00:33:24,120 --> 00:33:28,320
Speaker 1: this is going at what the Jewish community is going

594
00:33:28,320 --> 00:33:31,240
Speaker 1: to take from this election, the Muslim community in the

595
00:33:31,320 --> 00:33:35,880
Speaker 1: Democrat Party. This has cut thirty Ryan Gardusky with more

596
00:33:36,000 --> 00:33:38,200
Speaker 1: adding to his greatest hits here.

597
00:33:38,240 --> 00:33:41,600
Speaker 8: It is because of our immigration system Muslims will outnumber

598
00:33:41,680 --> 00:33:43,520
Speaker 8: Choose in this country in a very short period of

599
00:33:43,600 --> 00:33:47,720
Speaker 8: time overall, and if Kamala Harris loses in a big

600
00:33:47,760 --> 00:33:50,560
Speaker 8: part because the Muslims voted against her in Michigan, you

601
00:33:50,640 --> 00:33:53,400
Speaker 8: will probably have a much different Democratic Party going into

602
00:33:53,440 --> 00:33:56,240
Speaker 8: twenty twenty eight and forward on the issue of Israel.

603
00:33:56,360 --> 00:33:58,600
Speaker 8: They will not be so try to be two sided,

604
00:33:58,640 --> 00:34:01,400
Speaker 8: I think, going and realizing how votes and demographics are

605
00:34:01,440 --> 00:34:01,960
Speaker 8: changing over.

606
00:34:02,200 --> 00:34:04,360
Speaker 9: The Jewish community supposed to hear what you just said,

607
00:34:04,440 --> 00:34:06,480
Speaker 9: because that if I was in the Jewish I'm not

608
00:34:06,480 --> 00:34:08,319
Speaker 9: in the Jewish community. But I'm wondering, how are they

609
00:34:08,320 --> 00:34:11,000
Speaker 9: supposed to hear what you're saying and not feel like

610
00:34:11,040 --> 00:34:12,319
Speaker 9: someone needs to protect them.

611
00:34:12,640 --> 00:34:13,319
Speaker 8: But that's the truth.

612
00:34:13,400 --> 00:34:13,640
Speaker 6: I thought.

613
00:34:13,680 --> 00:34:16,719
Speaker 8: That's how that's my opinion of how demographics are altering

614
00:34:17,000 --> 00:34:18,880
Speaker 8: geopolitical politics in our country.

615
00:34:19,000 --> 00:34:20,400
Speaker 1: It's a simple thing of numbers.

616
00:34:20,600 --> 00:34:24,680
Speaker 8: When such large voting blocks live in certain areas, we

617
00:34:24,800 --> 00:34:27,560
Speaker 8: just have different politics. Certainly, our politics in New York

618
00:34:28,200 --> 00:34:30,840
Speaker 8: around Jewish voters is much different than like Texas. It

619
00:34:30,920 --> 00:34:33,200
Speaker 8: doesn't always true, I mean, this is just the truth.

620
00:34:33,320 --> 00:34:36,200
Speaker 8: We have an immigration system that brings in lots of Muslims.

621
00:34:36,239 --> 00:34:38,840
Speaker 8: They increase their population every year. They will outsize the

622
00:34:38,880 --> 00:34:41,120
Speaker 8: Jewish population a very New York time. They live in

623
00:34:41,280 --> 00:34:44,120
Speaker 8: very important swing states, and eventually the Democratic Party will

624
00:34:44,120 --> 00:34:45,400
Speaker 8: sit there and make a choice. Do I sit there

625
00:34:45,440 --> 00:34:47,879
Speaker 8: and vote for with Jews or Muslims, and it will

626
00:34:47,960 --> 00:34:50,600
Speaker 8: just be a it will be a geopolitical and political

627
00:34:50,600 --> 00:34:51,160
Speaker 8: period issues.

628
00:34:52,320 --> 00:34:55,680
Speaker 1: I think he's totally correct here. I think this is

629
00:34:55,920 --> 00:34:58,680
Speaker 1: but think of the ramifications of us everybody for a second.

630
00:34:59,200 --> 00:35:01,600
Speaker 1: Ryan's laying out what the future looks like for a

631
00:35:01,600 --> 00:35:09,000
Speaker 1: Democrat Party given that the Muslim community in Michigan has

632
00:35:09,200 --> 00:35:11,160
Speaker 1: made it pretty clear. I mean, you could do interviews

633
00:35:11,160 --> 00:35:14,520
Speaker 1: New York Times reporting on this that because of US

634
00:35:14,680 --> 00:35:20,160
Speaker 1: support for Israel, the Muslim community of Michigan and other

635
00:35:20,200 --> 00:35:22,120
Speaker 1: places in the country, Michigan is just the one that

636
00:35:22,280 --> 00:35:25,840
Speaker 1: is both concentrated with a large number of Muslim Americans

637
00:35:25,880 --> 00:35:28,920
Speaker 1: and also a swing state that people really care about.

638
00:35:28,960 --> 00:35:32,799
Speaker 1: So that's why it's getting so much focus. They've essentially said,

639
00:35:33,480 --> 00:35:36,759
Speaker 1: you know, you either back off of this ISRAELI of

640
00:35:36,760 --> 00:35:39,560
Speaker 1: the support for Israel and the Jewish people, or else.

641
00:35:40,160 --> 00:35:42,480
Speaker 1: And I think after this election, Claiy, it'll be interesting

642
00:35:42,520 --> 00:35:46,000
Speaker 1: to see what the Democrat Party does in response to

643
00:35:46,040 --> 00:35:48,279
Speaker 1: the or else, because we are taking into Ryan's point

644
00:35:48,360 --> 00:35:52,920
Speaker 1: demographic reality, far more Muslims through immigration than we are Jews.

645
00:35:54,480 --> 00:35:57,200
Speaker 1: This is so important what Ryan hit on, and this

646
00:35:57,280 --> 00:35:59,480
Speaker 1: is what I would say is basically the thesis of

647
00:35:59,520 --> 00:36:02,399
Speaker 1: American Playbook, my most recent book, which you can get

648
00:36:02,400 --> 00:36:04,279
Speaker 1: a sign copy of if you go sign up for

649
00:36:04,320 --> 00:36:08,120
Speaker 1: the fabulous Crocket Coffee at Crocketcoffee dot com. I think

650
00:36:08,200 --> 00:36:12,560
Speaker 1: identity politics is the root cancer of the Democrat Party

651
00:36:12,640 --> 00:36:16,560
Speaker 1: that must be destroyed because in the process of embracing it,

652
00:36:17,120 --> 00:36:20,840
Speaker 1: Democrats have tried to destroy America. And this is basically

653
00:36:20,840 --> 00:36:25,000
Speaker 1: the thesis of my entire book, and what Ryan's laying

654
00:36:25,040 --> 00:36:30,520
Speaker 1: out is true what Democrats basically ran on post Obama.

655
00:36:31,400 --> 00:36:36,240
Speaker 1: Post Obama, Hillary Clinton embraced this idea and it came

656
00:36:36,280 --> 00:36:39,080
Speaker 1: to life and flourished in I would say the second

657
00:36:39,160 --> 00:36:43,040
Speaker 1: term of Obama is white men are evil. And many

658
00:36:43,120 --> 00:36:46,000
Speaker 1: of you out there understand this, and I would say

659
00:36:46,040 --> 00:36:49,320
Speaker 1: it really crystallized for a lot of people buck during

660
00:36:49,320 --> 00:36:52,799
Speaker 1: the Brett Kavanaugh and the me two hearings when they

661
00:36:52,840 --> 00:36:56,960
Speaker 1: basically decided left in this country did white men are evil?

662
00:36:57,000 --> 00:36:59,520
Speaker 1: And you can say that's not true. There are still

663
00:36:59,560 --> 00:37:02,879
Speaker 1: white men that vote for Kamala Harris and voted for

664
00:37:03,480 --> 00:37:07,200
Speaker 1: Joe Biden and Joe Biden's white Yeah, but those white men,

665
00:37:07,760 --> 00:37:11,280
Speaker 1: to a large extent, would sign on with the idea

666
00:37:11,520 --> 00:37:13,759
Speaker 1: of white men or evil, which is one of the

667
00:37:13,800 --> 00:37:17,120
Speaker 1: craziest things we've ever seen. That is, the number of

668
00:37:17,160 --> 00:37:22,240
Speaker 1: white people who actually hate white people is not insubstantial.

669
00:37:22,360 --> 00:37:26,239
Speaker 1: They think it gives them greater cultural standing to say

670
00:37:26,280 --> 00:37:30,200
Speaker 1: things like white people are evil, white men in particular

671
00:37:30,320 --> 00:37:32,440
Speaker 1: or evil. I mean, it's just kind of a cardinal

672
00:37:32,520 --> 00:37:36,120
Speaker 1: faith of the Democrat Party. The problem they have buck

673
00:37:36,239 --> 00:37:39,319
Speaker 1: is that hasn't It wasn't enough like Trump is the

674
00:37:39,400 --> 00:37:42,880
Speaker 1: old white guy, he's particularly evil, He's the great Satan,

675
00:37:43,040 --> 00:37:46,680
Speaker 1: He's their villain. He's the boogeyman underneath their bed. He's Hitler.

676
00:37:46,840 --> 00:37:47,040
Speaker 7: Right.

677
00:37:47,760 --> 00:37:52,560
Speaker 1: The problem is they didn't stop there. They moved further

678
00:37:52,719 --> 00:37:58,560
Speaker 1: and further into men are evil, black men, Hispanic men,

679
00:37:58,920 --> 00:38:02,919
Speaker 1: Asian men, white men. They weren't content to just make

680
00:38:03,000 --> 00:38:07,520
Speaker 1: white men the cause of all of society's problems. And

681
00:38:07,640 --> 00:38:10,720
Speaker 1: as a result, now they're looking around saying, wait a minute,

682
00:38:11,280 --> 00:38:16,000
Speaker 1: why are we hemorrhaging so much minority male support. Why

683
00:38:16,080 --> 00:38:19,480
Speaker 1: is Trump surging with Hispanic men and Black men and

684
00:38:19,600 --> 00:38:23,960
Speaker 1: Asian men historically, and white men at levels that we've

685
00:38:23,960 --> 00:38:26,479
Speaker 1: never seen before. Buck, We talked about the Al Smith dinner,

686
00:38:26,520 --> 00:38:28,440
Speaker 1: but did you see what Trump did before he went

687
00:38:28,480 --> 00:38:31,680
Speaker 1: to the Al Smith dinner. He walked into a Bronx

688
00:38:31,800 --> 00:38:36,160
Speaker 1: barber shop and absolutely killed it with all the guys

689
00:38:36,320 --> 00:38:39,960
Speaker 1: in that barbershop. Do you know why I saw a

690
00:38:40,040 --> 00:38:43,440
Speaker 1: left winger making fun of Trump because he went on

691
00:38:43,480 --> 00:38:47,720
Speaker 1: a barstool podcast and he was kicking back and talking

692
00:38:47,719 --> 00:38:50,719
Speaker 1: about Lou Garrig and Wally Pip, and they were like,

693
00:38:50,800 --> 00:38:54,000
Speaker 1: this is really gonna connect with young voters. Look at

694
00:38:54,040 --> 00:38:56,759
Speaker 1: him talk about every sports fan knows the story of

695
00:38:56,840 --> 00:39:00,360
Speaker 1: Lou Garrig replacing Wally Pip. It's one of the foundational

696
00:39:00,480 --> 00:39:04,400
Speaker 1: sports stories out there in baseball. But about what happens

697
00:39:04,400 --> 00:39:06,839
Speaker 1: when you lose your starting job you may never get

698
00:39:06,880 --> 00:39:10,240
Speaker 1: it back. All of these things that Trump is able

699
00:39:10,280 --> 00:39:14,520
Speaker 1: to connect with. It's not just that there isn't a response, Buck,

700
00:39:15,000 --> 00:39:18,560
Speaker 1: It's that the left in this country is so divorced

701
00:39:18,600 --> 00:39:22,200
Speaker 1: from what actual men are like now that they don't

702
00:39:22,280 --> 00:39:26,040
Speaker 1: have a common conversation that that men for kamala Ad

703
00:39:26,080 --> 00:39:29,000
Speaker 1: that they did which we made fun of. They don't

704
00:39:29,040 --> 00:39:31,239
Speaker 1: even know how I mean this is. This is kind

705
00:39:31,239 --> 00:39:33,880
Speaker 1: of funny, but it's also sad. They don't even know

706
00:39:34,040 --> 00:39:38,359
Speaker 1: how to make videos that men think are funny and

707
00:39:38,520 --> 00:39:42,200
Speaker 1: be able to engage in a cultural conversation because they're

708
00:39:42,239 --> 00:39:45,759
Speaker 1: so divorced from masculinity. Did we have a talk on

709
00:39:45,800 --> 00:39:47,960
Speaker 1: the show about the forty year old Virgin movie and

710
00:39:48,000 --> 00:39:49,759
Speaker 1: how and how it reminded us of this? I don't

711
00:39:49,800 --> 00:39:52,240
Speaker 1: know if I think I think we made that announced,

712
00:39:52,239 --> 00:39:54,719
Speaker 1: so I'm not just just by way of review, it

713
00:39:54,800 --> 00:39:57,600
Speaker 1: is a it is not family friendly, but the four

714
00:39:57,680 --> 00:39:59,080
Speaker 1: year old virgions are pretty fun. I think it's a

715
00:39:59,080 --> 00:40:02,920
Speaker 1: pretty funny movie. Just starry, raunchy. It's a funny movie. Uh,

716
00:40:03,160 --> 00:40:06,080
Speaker 1: and you know Steve, it's probably Steve Carell, Steve Carrell

717
00:40:06,120 --> 00:40:08,920
Speaker 1: at his best, including with The Office, which came I

718
00:40:08,920 --> 00:40:11,680
Speaker 1: think right after that. But there's a scene where all

719
00:40:11,719 --> 00:40:14,760
Speaker 1: these guys are sitting around and they're talking about women

720
00:40:15,000 --> 00:40:18,560
Speaker 1: as guys do. Okay, it's a comedy, and you know,

721
00:40:18,600 --> 00:40:21,760
Speaker 1: some guys, not Clarig Buck, but other guys sit around

722
00:40:21,760 --> 00:40:24,440
Speaker 1: and talk about yeah, like she's hot and yeah whatever.

723
00:40:24,800 --> 00:40:26,400
Speaker 1: And there's a point where they get to Steve Carell

724
00:40:26,680 --> 00:40:29,240
Speaker 1: and he's like yeah, He's like, I touched your boobs

725
00:40:29,239 --> 00:40:34,000
Speaker 1: and they were like bags of sand and everybody looks

726
00:40:34,040 --> 00:40:37,960
Speaker 1: at him like what this guy the exact scene, that's

727
00:40:38,000 --> 00:40:41,279
Speaker 1: how Democrats talk about men. Yes, I mean, but that

728
00:40:41,440 --> 00:40:42,840
Speaker 1: was the scene of the movie where all of his

729
00:40:42,880 --> 00:40:45,160
Speaker 1: guy friends realize he's actually like a virgin and it

730
00:40:45,239 --> 00:40:48,840
Speaker 1: has no understanding of women. The commercial they ran to

731
00:40:48,920 --> 00:40:52,760
Speaker 1: be more masculine was there. It was like a bags

732
00:40:52,760 --> 00:40:56,120
Speaker 1: of sand moment for the for the Kamala campaign. It

733
00:40:56,239 --> 00:40:59,400
Speaker 1: made no sense. They had some guy who does not

734
00:40:59,520 --> 00:41:02,200
Speaker 1: look like he spends a lot of time moving or outdoors,

735
00:41:02,239 --> 00:41:06,120
Speaker 1: who's like, I eat carburetors for breakfast. Yes, nobody who

736
00:41:06,160 --> 00:41:08,200
Speaker 1: has ever worked with a carburetor or open the hood

737
00:41:08,200 --> 00:41:10,040
Speaker 1: of a car would say that that is a poserve.

738
00:41:10,239 --> 00:41:12,839
Speaker 1: That is what some guy who has spent too much

739
00:41:12,840 --> 00:41:15,000
Speaker 1: time indoors and you know, I know what that's like.

740
00:41:15,560 --> 00:41:17,560
Speaker 1: Uh and hasn't been able to get some fresh air

741
00:41:17,600 --> 00:41:21,040
Speaker 1: in a while, thinks like manly men would say. But

742
00:41:21,080 --> 00:41:24,439
Speaker 1: the instead of accepting that there's a problem here, Clay

743
00:41:25,080 --> 00:41:29,520
Speaker 1: uh and and going after this disconnect. Really the plan

744
00:41:29,719 --> 00:41:31,279
Speaker 1: is and I think this is part of the over

745
00:41:31,360 --> 00:41:35,560
Speaker 1: feminization of the Democrat Party. It is to hector and

746
00:41:35,920 --> 00:41:40,600
Speaker 1: and whine and uh and browbeat the other side, say,

747
00:41:40,680 --> 00:41:43,800
Speaker 1: how dare you think that Democrats have a masculinity problem?

748
00:41:44,280 --> 00:41:48,680
Speaker 1: They does, everyone knows it, and it's because they've pandered.

749
00:41:49,000 --> 00:41:51,920
Speaker 1: And that the point we're making about the Muslim community.

750
00:41:52,480 --> 00:41:56,160
Speaker 1: That's an issue of pandering now right, they're they're losing

751
00:41:56,320 --> 00:41:59,560
Speaker 1: perhaps Jewish votes, and they may lose this election because

752
00:41:59,560 --> 00:42:02,880
Speaker 1: they wouldn't choose Joshapiro because they've pandered to the Muslim

753
00:42:02,920 --> 00:42:05,439
Speaker 1: American community. That is, Look, we've got Muslim Americans listening

754
00:42:05,440 --> 00:42:07,000
Speaker 1: to us, not all of them, you know, we're not

755
00:42:07,000 --> 00:42:08,839
Speaker 1: talking about everybody when it comes to Israel and their

756
00:42:08,920 --> 00:42:11,120
Speaker 1: views of Jews and their views of their fellow Americans,

757
00:42:11,120 --> 00:42:14,960
Speaker 1: but there is a contingent that is anti Semitic. I

758
00:42:15,000 --> 00:42:17,000
Speaker 1: also think this ties in with what we were saying

759
00:42:17,000 --> 00:42:19,759
Speaker 1: about the Al Smith Trump jokes. You're mentioned of the

760
00:42:19,840 --> 00:42:22,680
Speaker 1: forty year old virgin I remember having this conversation with

761
00:42:22,800 --> 00:42:25,319
Speaker 1: Jeremy Boring when we were making and I had a

762
00:42:25,360 --> 00:42:28,920
Speaker 1: small part in it. But lady Ballers, which basically is

763
00:42:28,960 --> 00:42:31,440
Speaker 1: mocking the idea that men pretend to be women and

764
00:42:31,480 --> 00:42:34,759
Speaker 1: become women's basketball champions, which, by the way, isn't very

765
00:42:34,760 --> 00:42:40,240
Speaker 1: far from becoming reality in Democrat circles. But comedy basically

766
00:42:40,280 --> 00:42:46,560
Speaker 1: died about two thy twelve or thirteen. Really funny movies

767
00:42:47,040 --> 00:42:50,440
Speaker 1: stop being made in Hollywood. Why did that happen? I

768
00:42:50,440 --> 00:42:52,360
Speaker 1: think it ties in with what you're saying, Buck, and

769
00:42:52,400 --> 00:42:55,320
Speaker 1: why I was ridiculing the idea of Trump as Hitler.

770
00:42:56,080 --> 00:43:00,640
Speaker 1: When you are an absolutist, when you are total in

771
00:43:00,760 --> 00:43:05,440
Speaker 1: your belief in the legitimacy of your side, you lose

772
00:43:05,520 --> 00:43:09,680
Speaker 1: the ability to see nuance. And comedy is a function

773
00:43:10,080 --> 00:43:14,760
Speaker 1: of nuance and being self reflective in a comedic way.

774
00:43:15,000 --> 00:43:18,239
Speaker 1: And I would say in general it's hard for comedians

775
00:43:18,280 --> 00:43:21,319
Speaker 1: to be evil. There are lots of dudes who aren't good,

776
00:43:21,800 --> 00:43:25,360
Speaker 1: but in terms of pure evil, you can't be funny

777
00:43:25,400 --> 00:43:28,400
Speaker 1: if you are committed totally to any one ideology. I

778
00:43:28,400 --> 00:43:31,960
Speaker 1: don't think it's possible. Well, yes, there's an inherent humility

779
00:43:31,960 --> 00:43:34,400
Speaker 1: and self reflection, as you were saying, that's required to

780
00:43:34,480 --> 00:43:37,400
Speaker 1: be funny, right, And that's why when actually people write

781
00:43:37,400 --> 00:43:39,080
Speaker 1: in and make fun of you or make fun of me,

782
00:43:39,400 --> 00:43:44,000
Speaker 1: we both find it funny because you know, you gotta

783
00:43:44,040 --> 00:43:45,520
Speaker 1: be able to laugh at yourself, and you gotta be

784
00:43:45,560 --> 00:43:47,480
Speaker 1: able to laugh at life, or else you're gonna be

785
00:43:47,480 --> 00:43:51,200
Speaker 1: taking everything too seriously. And I do I appreciate funny

786
00:43:51,239 --> 00:43:53,120
Speaker 1: jokes at our expense. They have to be funny, though, right,

787
00:43:53,160 --> 00:43:55,319
Speaker 1: That's always the thing. If it's just mean, then you're

788
00:43:55,320 --> 00:44:00,560
Speaker 1: just being mean. But the explosion you mentioned Clay when died,

789
00:44:00,600 --> 00:44:03,840
Speaker 1: the explosion in the usage of the term racism and

790
00:44:03,960 --> 00:44:06,719
Speaker 1: racist and then after that white nationalist to take it

791
00:44:06,800 --> 00:44:08,400
Speaker 1: up to a sort of a whole other level. And

792
00:44:08,440 --> 00:44:13,160
Speaker 1: you know neo Nazi that occurred in two thousand and twelve,

793
00:44:13,680 --> 00:44:17,680
Speaker 1: roughly right when Barack Obama's up for reelection. You can

794
00:44:17,719 --> 00:44:20,439
Speaker 1: see on a chart they've done this on a whole

795
00:44:20,440 --> 00:44:24,760
Speaker 1: bunch of analyzes, Washington Post, New York Times, Los Angeles Times,

796
00:44:24,920 --> 00:44:28,480
Speaker 1: but particularly the Washington Post and well the New York

797
00:44:28,520 --> 00:44:31,319
Speaker 1: Times too. All of a sudden, Barack Obama's up for

798
00:44:31,360 --> 00:44:35,480
Speaker 1: reelection and they just flood the zone with everybody who

799
00:44:35,480 --> 00:44:38,600
Speaker 1: doesn't like Obama's racist. And what they realized, I think

800
00:44:38,640 --> 00:44:43,399
Speaker 1: in these media outlets is not only is that unfortunately

801
00:44:43,719 --> 00:44:48,160
Speaker 1: it was effective politics, it's also clickbait. It also gets

802
00:44:48,160 --> 00:44:51,080
Speaker 1: a lot of attention from because people want to believe

803
00:44:51,080 --> 00:44:55,280
Speaker 1: that the other side is evil, particularly Democrats. I actually

804
00:44:55,280 --> 00:44:57,000
Speaker 1: don't want to believe the Democrats are evil. I want

805
00:44:57,000 --> 00:44:58,600
Speaker 1: to believe it. They're wrong on some things, but they're

806
00:44:58,600 --> 00:45:01,000
Speaker 1: acting like lunatics for a while now. But you know

807
00:45:01,040 --> 00:45:04,880
Speaker 1: what I mean. It became a business and political decision

808
00:45:05,200 --> 00:45:08,400
Speaker 1: to convince half the country that everybody who doesn't agree

809
00:45:08,400 --> 00:45:11,040
Speaker 1: with Obama and the Democrat Party is racist. And we're

810
00:45:11,080 --> 00:45:13,719
Speaker 1: still living with those after effects. And this coincided, by

811
00:45:13,719 --> 00:45:16,520
Speaker 1: the way, with can't make jokes anymore either, No jokes allowed,

812
00:45:17,280 --> 00:45:21,439
Speaker 1: No totally. And here's the deal. If you're worried about

813
00:45:21,480 --> 00:45:23,799
Speaker 1: who a joke is gonna upset, it's hard to be

814
00:45:23,840 --> 00:45:27,520
Speaker 1: funny and when you have to, and basically that would

815
00:45:27,520 --> 00:45:31,439
Speaker 1: happen to SNL right. SNL finally has circled its way

816
00:45:31,440 --> 00:45:35,880
Speaker 1: back to suddenly recognizing that Biden has dementia and that

817
00:45:36,000 --> 00:45:39,240
Speaker 1: Kamala Harris has no substance behind her, and they're starting

818
00:45:39,239 --> 00:45:43,520
Speaker 1: to now ridicule even handedly again. But they lost their

819
00:45:43,560 --> 00:45:47,600
Speaker 1: way to such an extent that they politics humor that

820
00:45:47,719 --> 00:45:51,680
Speaker 1: only ridicules one side is propaganda. It is not actual

821
00:45:51,880 --> 00:45:55,400
Speaker 1: comedy and they finally, it feels like to me have

822
00:45:55,520 --> 00:45:57,960
Speaker 1: worked their way back. But when you had all these

823
00:45:57,960 --> 00:46:01,359
Speaker 1: comics getting canceled, there was a paupa fear. And if

824
00:46:01,360 --> 00:46:03,319
Speaker 1: you talk to comics, you have to be able to

825
00:46:03,360 --> 00:46:06,440
Speaker 1: walk on the stage and say anything. The idea that

826
00:46:06,480 --> 00:46:10,000
Speaker 1: one joke could end your career is the antithesis of

827
00:46:11,000 --> 00:46:13,200
Speaker 1: all comedy because you don't know buck, you don't know

828
00:46:13,239 --> 00:46:15,160
Speaker 1: what the response is going to be. You're working it out.

829
00:46:15,200 --> 00:46:18,560
Speaker 1: It's like a laboratory. And that's why comedians, so many

830
00:46:18,640 --> 00:46:20,560
Speaker 1: of them started saying, you can't even bring cell phones

831
00:46:20,600 --> 00:46:23,480
Speaker 1: into the comedy club because they were afraid that somebody

832
00:46:23,640 --> 00:46:25,600
Speaker 1: was going to take a clip of a joke that

833
00:46:25,640 --> 00:46:28,800
Speaker 1: they're working out workshopping style, and the next thing you know,

834
00:46:28,840 --> 00:46:30,719
Speaker 1: they're not going to be able to work anymore. I

835
00:46:30,760 --> 00:46:33,680
Speaker 1: think we're working our way through it. And this is

836
00:46:33,680 --> 00:46:35,560
Speaker 1: why I argued in my book, and I've argued on

837
00:46:35,560 --> 00:46:37,880
Speaker 1: this show for a long time, Republicans should be the

838
00:46:37,880 --> 00:46:40,120
Speaker 1: party that likes to laugh. We should be the party

839
00:46:40,160 --> 00:46:43,480
Speaker 1: of humor. Humor is good, even if sometimes you're the

840
00:46:43,480 --> 00:46:45,040
Speaker 1: butt of the joke. I got a couple of emails

841
00:46:45,040 --> 00:46:47,000
Speaker 1: that I'll read to you. They aren't happy with me.

842
00:46:47,400 --> 00:46:52,080
Speaker 1: But that's okay. That's how we that's how we grow. Yeah.

843
00:46:52,160 --> 00:46:55,279
Speaker 1: I mean, look, Kamala Harris is hilarious. She just isn't

844
00:46:55,320 --> 00:46:58,120
Speaker 1: trying to be. So that's a different that's a different thing.

845
00:46:58,280 --> 00:47:01,680
Speaker 1: The Kamala campaign is full of humor, just not intentionally.

846
00:47:02,680 --> 00:47:04,839
Speaker 1: I want to speak to my fellow gun owners out there.

847
00:47:04,880 --> 00:47:06,880
Speaker 1: I'm going to the range tomorrow. It's gonna be perfect

848
00:47:06,920 --> 00:47:09,680
Speaker 1: weather here in Florida, looking forward to it, and I'm

849
00:47:09,719 --> 00:47:12,000
Speaker 1: gonna be out there for probably four or five hours

850
00:47:12,040 --> 00:47:15,399
Speaker 1: trying out all the latest that I've got. But I'm

851
00:47:15,440 --> 00:47:18,360
Speaker 1: in good shape for it because of the Mantis X system.

852
00:47:18,440 --> 00:47:20,520
Speaker 1: This is a dry fire training tool. I've got it

853
00:47:20,560 --> 00:47:22,480
Speaker 1: here at home. You set up, you make sure you're

854
00:47:22,480 --> 00:47:25,080
Speaker 1: in a safe place, you make sure you clear and

855
00:47:25,120 --> 00:47:28,000
Speaker 1: safe your weapon, and you use the Mantis X just

856
00:47:28,000 --> 00:47:29,840
Speaker 1: like a weapon like you attach it to your weapon

857
00:47:30,280 --> 00:47:32,960
Speaker 1: and then you can do dry fire practice. It helps

858
00:47:32,960 --> 00:47:35,799
Speaker 1: so much on your trigger pull, the basic mechanics, which

859
00:47:35,840 --> 00:47:38,200
Speaker 1: I'm very much still working on right I'm an enthusiast.

860
00:47:38,280 --> 00:47:41,080
Speaker 1: I'm not some former Seal Team six guy or something,

861
00:47:41,120 --> 00:47:43,520
Speaker 1: so I'm trying to get better all the time and

862
00:47:43,680 --> 00:47:45,960
Speaker 1: I need to learn a lot, and the mantis X

863
00:47:46,080 --> 00:47:48,920
Speaker 1: gives me an at home training tool, really a tutor

864
00:47:49,280 --> 00:47:51,920
Speaker 1: for shooting technique. And so I'm just more accurate and

865
00:47:51,960 --> 00:47:54,840
Speaker 1: enjoy myself at the range more and I'm improving my skills.

866
00:47:55,160 --> 00:47:58,360
Speaker 1: The mantis X is military technology at an affordable price.

867
00:47:58,560 --> 00:48:00,680
Speaker 1: You'll be amazed at how quickly you prove your shooting

868
00:48:00,719 --> 00:48:03,480
Speaker 1: accuracy while saving a ton of money on Ammo. Get

876
00:48:28,719 --> 00:48:32,160
Speaker 1: spending missus Friday with us all across the country. A

877
00:48:32,200 --> 00:48:35,600
Speaker 1: lot of discussion. Last Friday, I was in Asheville, North Carolina.

878
00:48:36,000 --> 00:48:38,120
Speaker 1: We've been trying to draw as much attention as we

879
00:48:38,160 --> 00:48:40,920
Speaker 1: can to the struggles of so many people in western

880
00:48:40,920 --> 00:48:45,200
Speaker 1: North Carolina, and we are joined now as election voting

881
00:48:45,360 --> 00:48:51,239
Speaker 1: in North Carolina began yesterday, early voting underway. Michelle Woodhouse,

882
00:48:51,360 --> 00:48:55,760
Speaker 1: GOP chair of the eleventh District of North Carolina, Western

883
00:48:55,800 --> 00:48:59,960
Speaker 1: North Carolina near Cherokee. For those of you who are

884
00:49:00,080 --> 00:49:04,640
Speaker 1: familiar with the geography of western North Carolina, Michelle, we

885
00:49:04,680 --> 00:49:07,719
Speaker 1: appreciate the time. What can you tell us about how

886
00:49:07,760 --> 00:49:11,280
Speaker 1: people in western North Carolina are doing, first of all

887
00:49:11,440 --> 00:49:17,040
Speaker 1: in general, and second, how the Hurricane Helene impact is

888
00:49:17,120 --> 00:49:20,560
Speaker 1: going to influence voting in that region, two things that

889
00:49:20,600 --> 00:49:23,359
Speaker 1: many people listening to us right now care about quite

890
00:49:23,360 --> 00:49:23,680
Speaker 1: a lot.

891
00:49:24,719 --> 00:49:26,719
Speaker 10: Yes, and thank you so much for having me. Yes,

892
00:49:27,280 --> 00:49:31,000
Speaker 10: we're the far sixteen west counties where North Carolina begins,

893
00:49:31,040 --> 00:49:36,480
Speaker 10: we like to say, and from an overall standpoint, just

894
00:49:36,520 --> 00:49:41,560
Speaker 10: a few weeks post Hurricane Helene, biblical proportion devastation here

895
00:49:42,840 --> 00:49:45,000
Speaker 10: things that we've just never seen happen in the mountains

896
00:49:45,040 --> 00:49:50,600
Speaker 10: of western North Carolina. Before people are recovering their rebuilding.

897
00:49:51,160 --> 00:49:55,600
Speaker 10: Much to David Axelrod's dismay, the Hillbillies of Western North

898
00:49:55,640 --> 00:49:58,600
Speaker 10: Carolina built the roads the first time and we're back

899
00:49:58,640 --> 00:50:02,759
Speaker 10: at it rebuilding our community. It has been really a

900
00:50:02,800 --> 00:50:07,360
Speaker 10: tremendous example of what neighbor helping neighbor really looks like

901
00:50:07,520 --> 00:50:09,400
Speaker 10: here on the ground in western North Carolina.

902
00:50:10,480 --> 00:50:13,080
Speaker 1: So what can you tell us about anybody who has

903
00:50:13,719 --> 00:50:17,880
Speaker 1: concerns that it's just this is going to affect voting

904
00:50:17,960 --> 00:50:20,040
Speaker 1: right now. I mean, we've gotten so many people all

905
00:50:20,080 --> 00:50:22,920
Speaker 1: across the country. You know, the first few days or

906
00:50:22,960 --> 00:50:24,759
Speaker 1: the really first week after the hurricane, it was just

907
00:50:24,760 --> 00:50:27,919
Speaker 1: as everybody, Okay, let's get resources on the ground, let's

908
00:50:27,920 --> 00:50:30,759
Speaker 1: take care of that. But now we get emails every

909
00:50:30,800 --> 00:50:34,360
Speaker 1: day where there's this concern that there won't be the

910
00:50:34,400 --> 00:50:38,200
Speaker 1: infrastructure in place, there won't be what is necessary so

911
00:50:38,239 --> 00:50:42,120
Speaker 1: that everybody who lives in western North Carolina who's eligible

912
00:50:42,120 --> 00:50:43,879
Speaker 1: to vote can cast their vote. What can you tell

913
00:50:43,920 --> 00:50:45,840
Speaker 1: us about how that is coming along?

914
00:50:46,840 --> 00:50:50,400
Speaker 10: Absolutely? And you know it's the question on everyone's mind.

915
00:50:51,560 --> 00:50:53,759
Speaker 10: We know this is Trump country, with the exception of

916
00:50:53,760 --> 00:50:57,000
Speaker 10: the blue dot in Ashville. How are people who lost

917
00:50:57,120 --> 00:51:00,279
Speaker 10: everything is the election even in the fourth front of

918
00:51:00,320 --> 00:51:02,160
Speaker 10: their mind? And I can tell you and your listeners

919
00:51:02,800 --> 00:51:06,680
Speaker 10: really from the beginning, people could be knee deep in

920
00:51:06,800 --> 00:51:10,680
Speaker 10: mud literally or figuratively, have lost their homes, their cars.

921
00:51:11,160 --> 00:51:13,160
Speaker 10: The first thing they want to talk to me about

922
00:51:13,360 --> 00:51:15,160
Speaker 10: is how do I get to vote. I've got to

923
00:51:15,200 --> 00:51:19,120
Speaker 10: make sure to vote. They saw Kamala Harris and stand

924
00:51:19,160 --> 00:51:21,480
Speaker 10: there and tell people in western North Carolina who had

925
00:51:21,480 --> 00:51:25,080
Speaker 10: lost everything that they might get seven hundred and fifty

926
00:51:25,120 --> 00:51:28,160
Speaker 10: dollars while she's standing there wearing an eight hundred dollars belt.

927
00:51:28,280 --> 00:51:31,520
Speaker 10: They heard David Axelrod talk about the fact that the

928
00:51:31,600 --> 00:51:34,880
Speaker 10: liberal elites in Asheville would have a much easier time

929
00:51:36,080 --> 00:51:38,440
Speaker 10: getting to the polls than the rest of us, and

930
00:51:38,480 --> 00:51:42,480
Speaker 10: they took it seriously and they were deeply offended by it.

931
00:51:42,520 --> 00:51:45,880
Speaker 10: They were angry, motivated, inspired to get to the polls.

932
00:51:45,920 --> 00:51:48,600
Speaker 10: We had record setting numbers, not only in North Carolina.

933
00:51:48,640 --> 00:51:50,680
Speaker 10: I know you've been talking about that a lot on

934
00:51:50,760 --> 00:51:53,839
Speaker 10: the show today, but we had record setting numbers here

935
00:51:53,920 --> 00:51:58,480
Speaker 10: in the eleventh Congressional District area that was completely devastated

936
00:51:58,520 --> 00:52:01,120
Speaker 10: by this storm, the pits in the videos that so

937
00:52:01,200 --> 00:52:04,000
Speaker 10: many people have seen, that is right here in the

938
00:52:04,040 --> 00:52:08,600
Speaker 10: heart of this congressional district. We had sixty eight hundred

939
00:52:08,640 --> 00:52:12,600
Speaker 10: and sixty nine more people vote yesterday the first day

940
00:52:12,600 --> 00:52:15,360
Speaker 10: of early voting, than we did back in twenty sixteen.

941
00:52:16,040 --> 00:52:19,760
Speaker 10: And we are seeing every one of the sixteen counties

942
00:52:19,920 --> 00:52:24,360
Speaker 10: in this district set a record for first day early voting,

943
00:52:24,760 --> 00:52:28,879
Speaker 10: and today day two, the lines are as long, they're

944
00:52:28,920 --> 00:52:32,799
Speaker 10: exceeding numbers that we saw back in twenty sixteen, and

945
00:52:33,280 --> 00:52:37,319
Speaker 10: we are thrilled to see the motivation, the energy, and

946
00:52:37,440 --> 00:52:41,040
Speaker 10: enthusiasm translated into votes. We knew it would, but people

947
00:52:41,120 --> 00:52:44,960
Speaker 10: are doing whatever it takes to get out and make

948
00:52:45,000 --> 00:52:48,480
Speaker 10: their voices heard, waiting in line in some places for

949
00:52:48,600 --> 00:52:51,400
Speaker 10: up to two hours on the first day of early voting,

950
00:52:51,480 --> 00:52:53,480
Speaker 10: and again today to vote.

951
00:52:54,280 --> 00:52:59,239
Speaker 1: Michelle, you mentioned twenty sixteen numbers. I'm assuming Trump did

952
00:52:59,320 --> 00:53:03,000
Speaker 1: better into twenty sixteen than twenty twenty. You would know

953
00:53:03,040 --> 00:53:05,280
Speaker 1: the data better than me. I know he won North

954
00:53:05,320 --> 00:53:09,399
Speaker 1: Carolina both years, but I think sixteen was a more

955
00:53:09,480 --> 00:53:13,239
Speaker 1: comfortable win than twenty. So when you say you're exceeding

956
00:53:13,320 --> 00:53:17,560
Speaker 1: twenty sixteen numbers, that's exceeding the best numbers that Trump

957
00:53:17,640 --> 00:53:19,920
Speaker 1: would have ever done. Is that a fair way of

958
00:53:19,960 --> 00:53:22,480
Speaker 1: putting that so far? Based on what you're seeing in

959
00:53:22,520 --> 00:53:23,640
Speaker 1: western North Carolina.

960
00:53:24,800 --> 00:53:27,000
Speaker 10: Yeah, we're looking at those twenty sixteen numbers for a

961
00:53:27,040 --> 00:53:29,480
Speaker 10: couple reasons. He won North Carolina by a little over

962
00:53:29,560 --> 00:53:33,080
Speaker 10: three point since for our state that's a landslide, and

963
00:53:33,120 --> 00:53:37,360
Speaker 10: he won in twenty twenty by about one point three percent.

964
00:53:37,920 --> 00:53:40,520
Speaker 10: But you know, because of COVID and twenty twenty the

965
00:53:40,719 --> 00:53:44,640
Speaker 10: early voting numbers are difficult as a benchmark to measure

966
00:53:44,760 --> 00:53:47,279
Speaker 10: true trends, and so we really looked at sixteen to

967
00:53:47,320 --> 00:53:50,560
Speaker 10: your point, that was when Donald Trump had his highest

968
00:53:50,680 --> 00:53:55,080
Speaker 10: watermark in in North Carolina. And what we're seeing here

969
00:53:55,719 --> 00:54:00,400
Speaker 10: is that the energy and enthusiasm is so high. People

970
00:54:00,480 --> 00:54:03,440
Speaker 10: had to work really hard in western North Carolina to

971
00:54:03,480 --> 00:54:06,760
Speaker 10: get to the polls. Yesterday it was you know, roads

972
00:54:06,800 --> 00:54:11,600
Speaker 10: are closed and washed out, and communities are completely devastated

973
00:54:11,640 --> 00:54:15,479
Speaker 10: and people are trying to rebuild. But it didn't matter.

974
00:54:15,520 --> 00:54:17,840
Speaker 10: They were taking the time out of their day yesterday.

975
00:54:18,000 --> 00:54:21,040
Speaker 10: They're taking time out of their day today. We're seeing

976
00:54:21,080 --> 00:54:24,480
Speaker 10: people that truly they don't have a home or a car,

977
00:54:24,680 --> 00:54:27,799
Speaker 10: and they're getting to the polls to vote because they

978
00:54:27,880 --> 00:54:31,320
Speaker 10: know the future is very clear for them. If Kamala

979
00:54:31,320 --> 00:54:34,239
Speaker 10: Harris becomes president, we have three and a half more

980
00:54:34,320 --> 00:54:37,920
Speaker 10: years of devastation to our communities, and they know Donald

981
00:54:37,960 --> 00:54:40,640
Speaker 10: Trump is the right answer for the forgotten men and

982
00:54:40,680 --> 00:54:41,760
Speaker 10: women right here.

983
00:54:42,239 --> 00:54:45,160
Speaker 1: Michelle, do you think and this may sound counterintuitive, but

984
00:54:45,239 --> 00:54:49,520
Speaker 1: I'm curious, do you think the hurricane might actually be

985
00:54:49,640 --> 00:54:54,200
Speaker 1: driving up turnout because people like you said David Axelrod

986
00:54:54,280 --> 00:54:57,400
Speaker 1: talked down to them because they think the federal government

987
00:54:57,440 --> 00:55:01,000
Speaker 1: hasn't shown up for them, that it's even strengthened their

988
00:55:01,040 --> 00:55:03,880
Speaker 1: resolve to vote, more so than if the storm hadn't

989
00:55:03,880 --> 00:55:06,000
Speaker 1: even hit. Is that a crazy take or do you

990
00:55:06,200 --> 00:55:06,640
Speaker 1: since that?

991
00:55:07,880 --> 00:55:09,799
Speaker 10: I sense it. I really do, and I'll tell you

992
00:55:09,800 --> 00:55:13,760
Speaker 10: we were seeing it in action. I've seen multiple people

993
00:55:14,160 --> 00:55:17,640
Speaker 10: showing up at Republican Party offices since the storm hit,

994
00:55:18,160 --> 00:55:21,319
Speaker 10: registering to vote, voting for the first time. We were

995
00:55:21,400 --> 00:55:24,200
Speaker 10: evacuated from our neighborhood. Not a knock on the door

996
00:55:24,239 --> 00:55:26,480
Speaker 10: that anyone wants to get. We had a mud slide.

997
00:55:26,600 --> 00:55:30,360
Speaker 10: We were evacuated by the National Guard, and on Friday morning,

998
00:55:30,400 --> 00:55:34,120
Speaker 10: in the midst of this unbelievable storm, I'm disembarking off

999
00:55:34,160 --> 00:55:38,799
Speaker 10: of the National Guard truck. My neighbor, who isn't uber political,

1000
00:55:39,239 --> 00:55:42,200
Speaker 10: pats her fanny pack and says, I packed my absent

1001
00:55:42,239 --> 00:55:44,239
Speaker 10: tee ballot. Can we fill it out while I'm here?

1002
00:55:44,840 --> 00:55:48,120
Speaker 10: Moved about ninety seconds to evacuate, and she grabbed her

1003
00:55:48,120 --> 00:55:52,080
Speaker 10: absent tee ballot. I think that you are seeing people here.

1004
00:55:52,520 --> 00:55:55,600
Speaker 10: The storm was a catalyst for many and I think

1005
00:55:55,880 --> 00:55:58,800
Speaker 10: what people are seeing happen here in western North Carolina.

1006
00:55:59,160 --> 00:56:01,359
Speaker 10: You all have done so such a great job of

1007
00:56:01,440 --> 00:56:05,040
Speaker 10: keeping it in the forefront. It is resonating with people

1008
00:56:05,080 --> 00:56:08,520
Speaker 10: in rural Pennsylvania, people in my home state of Michigan,

1009
00:56:08,560 --> 00:56:11,400
Speaker 10: where I grew up in northern parts of Michigan. Rural

1010
00:56:11,440 --> 00:56:15,440
Speaker 10: communities across this country are looking at us and thinking,

1011
00:56:16,600 --> 00:56:18,600
Speaker 10: I know their prayers are with us. They're here helping

1012
00:56:18,640 --> 00:56:21,640
Speaker 10: us and donating, but they know, Gosh forbid, this could

1013
00:56:21,640 --> 00:56:25,239
Speaker 10: be them someday. And they are seeing the response of

1014
00:56:25,360 --> 00:56:29,319
Speaker 10: Kamala Harris, and it's resonating and motivating people across the

1015
00:56:29,400 --> 00:56:33,040
Speaker 10: country because they can relate to Western North Carolinians.

1016
00:56:34,080 --> 00:56:36,120
Speaker 1: Thank you so much for being with us, and anything

1017
00:56:36,120 --> 00:56:38,560
Speaker 1: else you wanted to say in terms of what people

1018
00:56:38,719 --> 00:56:40,880
Speaker 1: in western North Carolina need to know about how to

1019
00:56:40,880 --> 00:56:43,640
Speaker 1: get to how to get the polling location nearest them,

1020
00:56:43,840 --> 00:56:45,880
Speaker 1: or just want to put it out there for you

1021

1054
00:58:26,280 --> 00:58:29,160
Speaker 1: twenty twenty for Donald Trump, and so far it appears

1055
00:58:29,200 --> 00:58:32,600
Speaker 1: that you are. You just heard us talking with Michelle Woodhouse,

Speaker 1: make sure residents they are able to vote. Last week,

1059
00:58:43,960 --> 00:58:47,600
Speaker 1: I was in Asheville at five seventy WWNC. We had

1060
00:58:47,640 --> 00:58:50,400
Speaker 1: the news director morning show host. So many of you

1061
00:58:50,480 --> 00:58:52,720
Speaker 1: have reacted and reached out to him. A lot of

1062
00:58:52,800 --> 00:58:56,640
Speaker 1: articles written Mark Starling to talk about how vital radio

1063
00:58:56,960 --> 00:59:00,520
Speaker 1: was during and after the storm in terms of reaching

1064
00:59:00,600 --> 00:59:05,000
Speaker 1: impacted communities. One of our sponsors, Rapid Radios, makes modern

1065
00:59:05,080 --> 00:59:08,680
Speaker 1: day walkie talkies that help people stay connected in different ways.

1066
00:59:09,040 --> 00:59:13,160
Speaker 1: You heard us talk on the show about Buck's sister

1067
00:59:13,240 --> 00:59:16,720
Speaker 1: in law using Rapid Radios to stay in touch. Now

1068

1073
00:59:35,760 --> 00:59:38,240
Speaker 1: easy it was to operate a walkie talkie back in

1074
00:59:38,280 --> 00:59:42,560
Speaker 1: the day, imagine them with nationwide service, not just within
