1
00:00:01,840 --> 00:00:05,920
Speaker 1: This is twenty four, a weekly highlight reel from the Clay,

2
00:00:05,960 --> 00:00:10,200
Speaker 1: Travis and Buck Sexton Show featuring all things the election coverage.

3
00:00:10,680 --> 00:00:13,160
Speaker 2: Let's get started. Here are Clay and Buck.

4
00:00:14,200 --> 00:00:16,200
Speaker 3: I wanted to turn our attention Clay unless there's anything

5
00:00:16,239 --> 00:00:19,480
Speaker 3: else that's big and pressing on your mind, into how

6
00:00:19,800 --> 00:00:23,680
Speaker 3: they've really decided. Going back to the Trump second attempt

7
00:00:23,720 --> 00:00:27,160
Speaker 3: at assassination, I think they've stopped using the word apparent now,

8
00:00:27,200 --> 00:00:29,520
Speaker 3: so that's good. We can all agree that a guy

9
00:00:29,560 --> 00:00:31,920
Speaker 3: set up with a rifle to kill Trump is an

10
00:00:31,920 --> 00:00:34,560
Speaker 3: assassination attempt, right, Like, we don't have to sit around

11
00:00:34,600 --> 00:00:38,920
Speaker 3: and parse this any further. He's been charged, she's being held.

12
00:00:39,600 --> 00:00:42,000
Speaker 3: Ron DeSantis is step forward, as Governor Florida has said,

13
00:00:42,159 --> 00:00:46,120
Speaker 3: is going to be a Florida investigation of this, because

14
00:00:46,640 --> 00:00:47,200
Speaker 3: I did.

15
00:00:47,080 --> 00:00:48,800
Speaker 4: You see the press conference Clay this morning?

16
00:00:49,400 --> 00:00:52,000
Speaker 5: I did not, but I saw the tweets about the

17
00:00:52,040 --> 00:00:54,600
Speaker 5: press conference, which I mean, he's the only person I've

18
00:00:54,640 --> 00:00:57,800
Speaker 5: seen talking about the direct conflict of the FBI conducting

19
00:00:57,840 --> 00:01:01,800
Speaker 5: investigations into tried to kill Trump while putting Trump trying

20
00:01:01,840 --> 00:01:04,200
Speaker 5: to put Trump in prison for the rest of his life.

21
00:01:04,240 --> 00:01:07,480
Speaker 5: It's in an untenable conflict. I mean, it's why I

22
00:01:07,520 --> 00:01:10,800
Speaker 5: said right after the first assassination attempt that all charges

23
00:01:10,800 --> 00:01:13,839
Speaker 5: should be dropped against Trump because they can't conduct the investigation.

24
00:01:13,920 --> 00:01:15,880
Speaker 5: But good for him for actually talking about it.

25
00:01:16,440 --> 00:01:17,280
Speaker 4: Yeah, and.

26
00:01:18,920 --> 00:01:20,720
Speaker 3: He is going to have the state of Florida because

27
00:01:20,880 --> 00:01:23,480
Speaker 3: he says the highest crime here is attempted murder, which

28
00:01:23,480 --> 00:01:26,760
Speaker 3: is obviously obviously true. So he's going to have the

29
00:01:26,760 --> 00:01:29,760
Speaker 3: State of Florida do a full, full investigation of this

30
00:01:29,880 --> 00:01:33,520
Speaker 3: and has assigned it to the top investigative authorities in

31
00:01:33,600 --> 00:01:37,319
Speaker 3: the state, in my home state. So that is moving along.

32
00:01:37,440 --> 00:01:40,720
Speaker 3: But Clay, there's so little time here that I think

33
00:01:41,600 --> 00:01:45,800
Speaker 3: the media is even more clumsy about this than they

34
00:01:45,800 --> 00:01:48,960
Speaker 3: would normally be. They've just got to shut this down

35
00:01:49,560 --> 00:01:52,400
Speaker 3: and create a new narrative right away. We talked about

36
00:01:52,400 --> 00:01:55,080
Speaker 3: it yesterday. I mean they tried to memory hole the

37
00:01:55,120 --> 00:01:58,280
Speaker 3: first one quickly. This one they're not even pretending. I mean,

38
00:01:58,280 --> 00:02:01,360
Speaker 3: they're trying to smother this story with a pillow right

39
00:02:01,360 --> 00:02:05,000
Speaker 3: in front of everybody. They just don't care. And the

40
00:02:05,040 --> 00:02:06,800
Speaker 3: way they're doing it, And we saw the hints of

41
00:02:06,840 --> 00:02:08,800
Speaker 3: this over the weekend. This is Nora O'Donnell over at

42
00:02:08,880 --> 00:02:13,560
Speaker 3: CBS again. The sort of top gold standard legacy media outlets.

43
00:02:13,880 --> 00:02:17,680
Speaker 3: Here she is saying that Trump is responsible for the

44
00:02:18,120 --> 00:02:21,680
Speaker 3: accusations against residents of Springfield, Ohio, which has led to

45
00:02:21,840 --> 00:02:24,480
Speaker 3: bomb threats against them. So that's the violence to be

46
00:02:24,520 --> 00:02:25,000
Speaker 3: worried about.

47
00:02:25,000 --> 00:02:29,320
Speaker 6: Play one, Donald Trump is blaming Democrats for inflaming political rhetoric,

48
00:02:29,560 --> 00:02:32,320
Speaker 6: but the former president's own words seem to be increasing

49
00:02:32,360 --> 00:02:36,079
Speaker 6: the threat of political violence in Springfield, Ohio. That's where

50
00:02:36,120 --> 00:02:39,839
Speaker 6: a false and ugly accusation against Haitians, thousands of whom

51
00:02:39,880 --> 00:02:43,160
Speaker 6: our legal permanent residents, is impacting everyday life.

52
00:02:44,680 --> 00:02:48,400
Speaker 4: Clay, the switch here is just stunning, isn't it.

53
00:02:48,680 --> 00:02:51,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, someone wanted to kill Trump again, but he said

54
00:02:51,040 --> 00:02:54,880
Speaker 3: something about Haitians, and from overseas someone called in a

55
00:02:54,960 --> 00:02:57,840
Speaker 3: hoax bomb threat, and that's Trump's fault.

56
00:02:58,760 --> 00:02:59,760
Speaker 2: This is important.

57
00:03:00,320 --> 00:03:03,960
Speaker 5: And I read the New York Times in the Washington

58
00:03:03,960 --> 00:03:07,000
Speaker 5: Post every day, so a lot of you don't have to.

59
00:03:07,480 --> 00:03:09,000
Speaker 2: And I still read the print.

60
00:03:09,160 --> 00:03:12,760
Speaker 5: Here is the front page print New York Times article

61
00:03:13,280 --> 00:03:18,160
Speaker 5: about the Trump second assassination attempt. The headline is the

62
00:03:18,240 --> 00:03:23,880
Speaker 5: anger that defines and threaten Trump's The anger that defines

63
00:03:23,960 --> 00:03:27,120
Speaker 5: and threatens Trump. Buck Listen to these first two paragraphs.

64
00:03:27,680 --> 00:03:30,200
Speaker 5: This is the open if you'd only read the New

65
00:03:30,240 --> 00:03:33,800
Speaker 5: York Times. You consider yourself to be an educated citizen,

66
00:03:33,840 --> 00:03:36,040
Speaker 5: and you only read the New York Times, listen to this.

67
00:03:36,600 --> 00:03:41,560
Speaker 5: Within days of former President Donald Trump vilifying immigrants on

68
00:03:41,680 --> 00:03:46,320
Speaker 5: national television with false stories about Haitian migrants eating pet

69
00:03:46,400 --> 00:03:51,360
Speaker 5: dogs and cats, in an Ohio town, someone began threatening

70
00:03:51,440 --> 00:03:55,560
Speaker 5: to blow up school, city hall and other public buildings,

71
00:03:55,920 --> 00:04:00,240
Speaker 5: forcing evacuations and prompting a wave of fear. That is

72
00:04:00,280 --> 00:04:03,760
Speaker 5: the lead paragraph of a story that is ostensibly about

73
00:04:04,040 --> 00:04:07,160
Speaker 5: Donald Trump's second assassination. You have to go to the

74
00:04:07,200 --> 00:04:12,080
Speaker 5: second paragraph book to read this. Days later, authority said,

75
00:04:12,240 --> 00:04:17,720
Speaker 5: a man who described himself online as a disaffected former

76
00:04:17,839 --> 00:04:21,719
Speaker 5: Trump supporter made his way with a semi automatic rifle

77
00:04:21,800 --> 00:04:25,360
Speaker 5: to former President's Florida's golf course, evidently looking to take

78
00:04:25,400 --> 00:04:25,839
Speaker 5: a shot.

79
00:04:25,920 --> 00:04:29,800
Speaker 2: Okay, they start by what is a falsehood?

80
00:04:30,320 --> 00:04:33,039
Speaker 5: We'll play the Mike DeWine clip for you, saying all

81
00:04:33,120 --> 00:04:36,240
Speaker 5: thirty three bomb threats in Springfield, Ohio that have been

82
00:04:36,279 --> 00:04:42,000
Speaker 5: blamed on Trump and Vance actually originated from overseas actors

83
00:04:42,200 --> 00:04:45,480
Speaker 5: who are trying to influence our election, in my opinion,

84
00:04:45,520 --> 00:04:47,119
Speaker 5: and make Trump advance look bad.

85
00:04:47,520 --> 00:04:48,479
Speaker 2: But think about this buck.

86
00:04:49,320 --> 00:04:54,000
Speaker 5: They described this would be shooter as a disaffected former

87
00:04:54,120 --> 00:04:58,159
Speaker 5: Trump supporter. I read the entire newspaper this morning. No

88
00:04:58,360 --> 00:05:00,320
Speaker 5: mention in the New York Times of the the fact

89
00:05:00,360 --> 00:05:04,120
Speaker 5: that this guy had donated nineteen different times to Democrats.

90
00:05:04,920 --> 00:05:09,320
Speaker 5: No mention of the fact that he specifically cited democracy

91
00:05:09,720 --> 00:05:13,719
Speaker 5: as being on the ballot responding to Trump, no mention

92
00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:16,800
Speaker 5: of him saying that, to my knowledge anywhere that I

93
00:05:16,920 --> 00:05:21,160
Speaker 5: read that he had a Harris a Biden Harris bumper.

94
00:05:20,800 --> 00:05:22,279
Speaker 2: Sticker on his truck.

95
00:05:23,400 --> 00:05:26,679
Speaker 5: If you just read the New York Times, you would

96
00:05:26,680 --> 00:05:28,880
Speaker 5: not know that that was a made up story about

97
00:05:28,880 --> 00:05:32,960
Speaker 5: the thirty three bomb threats, and you might think, oh,

98
00:05:33,400 --> 00:05:37,159
Speaker 5: this is just a Trump supporter who's mad at Trump

99
00:05:37,400 --> 00:05:41,400
Speaker 5: that is trying to kill him. That is the storyline

100
00:05:41,480 --> 00:05:44,200
Speaker 5: that they have all agreed to. And there are lots

101
00:05:44,240 --> 00:05:48,080
Speaker 5: of intelligent people that don't leave their media silos. It's

102
00:05:48,080 --> 00:05:49,760
Speaker 5: why I read the New York Times. I want to

103
00:05:49,800 --> 00:05:53,080
Speaker 5: know what they're saying. They're just describing this guy as

104
00:05:53,120 --> 00:05:56,560
Speaker 5: a crazy former Trump supporter and trying to put this

105
00:05:57,000 --> 00:05:58,039
Speaker 5: on Trump.

106
00:05:59,440 --> 00:06:01,360
Speaker 3: There's no shit, right, I mean, that's the thing you

107
00:06:01,360 --> 00:06:04,880
Speaker 3: have to understand. Part of this process of even just

108
00:06:04,920 --> 00:06:09,039
Speaker 3: supporting Kamala Harris. Now it doesn't whatever they've said before,

109
00:06:09,320 --> 00:06:13,520
Speaker 3: whatever the old guidelines were, whatever integrity they were supposed

110
00:06:13,560 --> 00:06:17,239
Speaker 3: to try to uppulp it, it's all thrown out the window.

111
00:06:18,320 --> 00:06:18,839
Speaker 4: You're seeing.

112
00:06:18,839 --> 00:06:21,680
Speaker 3: The only principle of the Democrat media and the Democrat

113
00:06:21,720 --> 00:06:23,880
Speaker 3: Party is how do we get power?

114
00:06:23,960 --> 00:06:24,320
Speaker 4: That's it.

115
00:06:25,040 --> 00:06:26,760
Speaker 3: And if that means that they have to look at

116
00:06:26,800 --> 00:06:31,080
Speaker 3: the American people in the eye and say manifestly crazy things.

117
00:06:31,200 --> 00:06:34,640
Speaker 3: McClay what you just described as your position, this is

118
00:06:34,800 --> 00:06:35,760
Speaker 3: lunatic stuff.

119
00:06:35,839 --> 00:06:38,240
Speaker 4: Okay, this is up there with like, I don't know,

120
00:06:38,320 --> 00:06:40,479
Speaker 4: maybe the guy who shot at Trump really.

121
00:06:40,279 --> 00:06:44,279
Speaker 3: Likes Trump, Like what is wrong with people? Well, they

122
00:06:44,360 --> 00:06:47,880
Speaker 3: have to at least throw confusion into the mix. I'm

123
00:06:47,880 --> 00:06:49,839
Speaker 3: gonna say this, and it's something that's been on my

124
00:06:49,880 --> 00:06:51,279
Speaker 3: mind this whole time.

125
00:06:52,240 --> 00:06:52,400
Speaker 7: You know.

126
00:06:52,480 --> 00:06:55,560
Speaker 3: On the one hand, we say, isn't this, you know,

127
00:06:55,720 --> 00:06:59,120
Speaker 3: historically just astonishing and really terrifying that the country is

128
00:06:59,160 --> 00:07:01,480
Speaker 3: teetering on the brink of a presidential assassination for the

129
00:07:01,520 --> 00:07:04,400
Speaker 3: second time, or was teetering on the brink. But we're

130
00:07:04,440 --> 00:07:07,400
Speaker 3: also not talking about what an incompetent Kamala Harris is

131
00:07:07,920 --> 00:07:10,440
Speaker 3: and how the Biden administration has been a total flop

132
00:07:10,640 --> 00:07:13,119
Speaker 3: and Kamala is a part of it, and she doesn't

133
00:07:13,160 --> 00:07:16,040
Speaker 3: do any interviews. And you know what I mean, we're

134
00:07:16,120 --> 00:07:19,160
Speaker 3: sitting here saying, look at the insane stuff that they're

135
00:07:19,160 --> 00:07:22,400
Speaker 3: saying about the Trump assassination attempt, and that takes us

136
00:07:22,440 --> 00:07:26,200
Speaker 3: away from what may be the even more potent politically.

137
00:07:26,240 --> 00:07:30,360
Speaker 4: Line of attack or a line of discussion, which.

138
00:07:30,120 --> 00:07:32,880
Speaker 3: Is I mean, Kamala Harris is the worst presidential candidate

139
00:07:32,960 --> 00:07:38,040
Speaker 3: in my lifetime. Honestly, maybe Dukakis, but you've got to

140
00:07:38,080 --> 00:07:40,680
Speaker 3: go back a long ways for somebody who is just

141
00:07:41,680 --> 00:07:45,880
Speaker 3: so unimpressive and so incapable of being effective really in

142
00:07:45,920 --> 00:07:46,600
Speaker 3: any respect.

143
00:07:47,400 --> 00:07:49,360
Speaker 2: That's why they're hiding her. And we'll come back and

144
00:07:49,400 --> 00:07:49,840
Speaker 2: we'll place.

145
00:07:50,040 --> 00:07:52,600
Speaker 5: I think it's important for us to take you behind

146
00:07:52,640 --> 00:07:55,760
Speaker 5: the left wing wall. This is how people end up

147
00:07:55,840 --> 00:07:58,720
Speaker 5: voting for Kamala. There are a lot of people in silos.

148
00:07:58,800 --> 00:08:02,320
Speaker 5: Whatever you think, he expose you to what the left

149
00:08:02,360 --> 00:08:05,680
Speaker 5: is saying. Is there anybody that does that in an

150
00:08:05,760 --> 00:08:09,720
Speaker 5: honest way that speaks to the left? I saw Can

151
00:08:09,760 --> 00:08:12,800
Speaker 5: we get the audio of also by the way of

152
00:08:12,840 --> 00:08:16,080
Speaker 5: Howard Stern screaming that he doesn't want anybody who is

153
00:08:16,120 --> 00:08:19,040
Speaker 5: a Trump supporter to listen to his show anymore. I

154
00:08:19,080 --> 00:08:23,080
Speaker 5: actually have the exact opposite take. I wish Kamala supporters

155
00:08:23,120 --> 00:08:26,040
Speaker 5: would listen to this show. I really do, because I

156
00:08:26,040 --> 00:08:29,280
Speaker 5: think it would force them to at least consider some

157
00:08:29,440 --> 00:08:32,520
Speaker 5: of the opinions that they have. But I do think

158
00:08:32,559 --> 00:08:35,520
Speaker 5: it's interesting that Stern was on his show screaming yesterday,

159
00:08:35,559 --> 00:08:40,080
Speaker 5: the day after Trump was nearly assassinated again, that he

160
00:08:40,080 --> 00:08:42,800
Speaker 5: didn't want a single Trump supporter to be listening to

161
00:08:42,840 --> 00:08:43,280
Speaker 5: his show.

162
00:08:44,440 --> 00:08:48,480
Speaker 4: Yeah, man, I don't know. I never liked stern show anyway.

163
00:08:48,600 --> 00:08:49,640
Speaker 4: It didn't like the whole thing.

164
00:08:49,800 --> 00:08:52,320
Speaker 3: So I'm happy to see that he's showing everybody what

165
00:08:52,400 --> 00:08:55,120
Speaker 3: a neurotic lunatic he is. You know, he could count

166
00:08:55,120 --> 00:08:58,040
Speaker 3: as hundreds of millions all day, but to turn on

167
00:08:58,120 --> 00:09:01,760
Speaker 3: half your audience just I don't get. I can't imagine

168
00:09:02,520 --> 00:09:04,320
Speaker 3: you know, doing that after the relationship.

169
00:09:04,360 --> 00:09:05,560
Speaker 2: I mean, aren't you with me here?

170
00:09:05,600 --> 00:09:08,720
Speaker 5: Wouldn't you love if we could wave a magic wand

171
00:09:08,760 --> 00:09:12,120
Speaker 5: and we had a million Kamala voters in a battleground

172
00:09:12,160 --> 00:09:14,160
Speaker 5: state that we're going to listen to this program for

173
00:09:14,200 --> 00:09:17,160
Speaker 5: the next forty eight forty nine days. Wouldn't you love

174
00:09:17,240 --> 00:09:19,160
Speaker 5: to have them listening to this program? I mean, I

175
00:09:19,200 --> 00:09:20,080
Speaker 5: would welcome them.

176
00:09:21,480 --> 00:09:23,280
Speaker 3: I think, I think that there are a lot of

177
00:09:23,280 --> 00:09:24,800
Speaker 3: people who if they were forced to listen to us

178
00:09:24,840 --> 00:09:26,600
Speaker 3: three hours a day, they would they would have to

179
00:09:26,640 --> 00:09:28,880
Speaker 3: abandon some of their Democrat beliefs. We have some of

180
00:09:28,920 --> 00:09:31,080
Speaker 3: them listening to us. Yes, we have people who have

181
00:09:31,120 --> 00:09:33,520
Speaker 3: been I mean I think would and I would love

182
00:09:33,559 --> 00:09:35,719
Speaker 3: to have them. Yeah, no, I know, but just that's

183
00:09:35,720 --> 00:09:37,120
Speaker 3: what I'm saying. I mean, just sort of spit in

184
00:09:37,120 --> 00:09:39,200
Speaker 3: the face of half of your audience, as Howard Stern

185
00:09:39,240 --> 00:09:41,720
Speaker 3: has done it. Just it just shows, I mean, you know,

186
00:09:41,800 --> 00:09:44,640
Speaker 3: the guy's lost more than a step, whatever steps he had.

187
00:09:46,800 --> 00:09:50,880
Speaker 1: If you're listening to twenty four the Year of Impact

188
00:09:51,120 --> 00:09:52,400
Speaker 1: with Clay and Buck.

189
00:09:53,480 --> 00:09:56,120
Speaker 5: But I wanted to play for you. I mentioned how

190
00:09:56,120 --> 00:10:00,640
Speaker 5: good Trump was last night on Gutfeld, and we also

191
00:10:00,720 --> 00:10:03,520
Speaker 5: mentioned with you earlier this week that Howard Stern, a

192
00:10:03,559 --> 00:10:05,560
Speaker 5: guy that Trump used to go on with quite a

193
00:10:05,559 --> 00:10:08,240
Speaker 5: lot back in the day on radio, has said that

194
00:10:08,280 --> 00:10:11,200
Speaker 5: he hates Trump supporters and he doesn't want any of

195
00:10:11,240 --> 00:10:14,079
Speaker 5: you to be listening to him. We have the audio

196
00:10:14,160 --> 00:10:17,720
Speaker 5: of Howard Stern saying that on Fox News. They played it,

197
00:10:17,800 --> 00:10:20,360
Speaker 5: and then Trump responding to it, I think it's kind

198
00:10:20,400 --> 00:10:21,040
Speaker 5: of fascinating.

199
00:10:21,120 --> 00:10:22,840
Speaker 2: Listen, I don't hate the guy.

200
00:10:23,400 --> 00:10:25,120
Speaker 4: I hate the people who vote for him. I think

201
00:10:25,160 --> 00:10:25,840
Speaker 4: they're stupid.

202
00:10:26,360 --> 00:10:28,240
Speaker 8: I do. I'll be honest with you.

203
00:10:28,440 --> 00:10:29,600
Speaker 4: I have no respect for you.

204
00:10:31,200 --> 00:10:33,920
Speaker 5: Also said he didn't want him to listen. Trump responded

205
00:10:33,960 --> 00:10:35,719
Speaker 5: to that last night on Gutfeld.

206
00:10:35,720 --> 00:10:36,120
Speaker 2: Here's that.

207
00:10:36,440 --> 00:10:39,880
Speaker 9: Well, I watch I know some of them, and like Howard.

208
00:10:39,960 --> 00:10:42,480
Speaker 9: I was on Howard Stern show as much as anybody,

209
00:10:42,520 --> 00:10:45,640
Speaker 9: and yeah, he was great at that time, and then

210
00:10:45,720 --> 00:10:49,720
Speaker 9: he went woke. Yeah, and since he's gone woke, his

211
00:10:49,840 --> 00:10:51,720
Speaker 9: ratings have gone down the tubes and he sort of

212
00:10:52,080 --> 00:10:56,520
Speaker 9: went anti Trump for a couple of reasons. But I

213
00:10:56,640 --> 00:10:59,160
Speaker 9: was on his show a lot. Yeah, he has a

214
00:10:59,240 --> 00:11:01,240
Speaker 9: best of Did you ever see the best of? Best

215
00:11:01,240 --> 00:11:03,520
Speaker 9: of Howard Starhon? I don't want to promote it necessarily,

216
00:11:05,320 --> 00:11:07,679
Speaker 9: And I was there for just about all of them,

217
00:11:07,760 --> 00:11:09,280
Speaker 9: the best of We had good shows.

218
00:11:09,320 --> 00:11:09,840
Speaker 5: It was good.

219
00:11:10,040 --> 00:11:11,880
Speaker 9: But he's changed, and you know, he doesn't do the

220
00:11:11,960 --> 00:11:12,920
Speaker 9: ratings anymore.

221
00:11:13,679 --> 00:11:16,839
Speaker 5: That's Trump talking about Howard Stern. We're joined now by

222
00:11:16,880 --> 00:11:20,760
Speaker 5: Michael Wattley, who is chairman of the RNC and We're

223
00:11:20,760 --> 00:11:22,880
Speaker 5: going to get into a lot of different stories, but

224
00:11:22,920 --> 00:11:25,240
Speaker 5: I want to start. You know, the state of North

225
00:11:25,280 --> 00:11:30,400
Speaker 5: Carolina very well. Trump won North Carolina in twenty sixteen

226
00:11:30,640 --> 00:11:33,800
Speaker 5: and twenty twenty. How do you think Trump is looking

227
00:11:34,080 --> 00:11:37,920
Speaker 5: in North Carolina, Chairman in twenty twenty four, based on

228
00:11:38,000 --> 00:11:38,480
Speaker 5: what you.

229
00:11:38,440 --> 00:11:42,079
Speaker 8: See better than we were in either twenty sixteen we're

230
00:11:42,120 --> 00:11:44,680
Speaker 8: in twenty twenty, and I would say that based on

231
00:11:44,720 --> 00:11:48,600
Speaker 8: the pulling that we're watching right now, where we're actually

232
00:11:48,600 --> 00:11:52,320
Speaker 8: pulling ahead of where we did four years ago or

233
00:11:52,360 --> 00:11:55,560
Speaker 8: eight years ago. When I look at the enthusiasm that

234
00:11:55,600 --> 00:11:58,839
Speaker 8: we see on the ground, I think that we feel

235
00:11:58,960 --> 00:12:01,959
Speaker 8: very good about this state, you know, and the fundamentals

236
00:12:02,040 --> 00:12:05,040
Speaker 8: are really important here. You know, North Carolina is a

237
00:12:05,120 --> 00:12:08,320
Speaker 8: state that really believes in law and order. They back

238
00:12:08,360 --> 00:12:11,080
Speaker 8: the Blue and it is also the state with the

239
00:12:11,120 --> 00:12:15,640
Speaker 8: heaviest percentage of military families. We talk about soldiers, veterans,

240
00:12:15,679 --> 00:12:19,480
Speaker 8: and military families more than any other state in the country.

241
00:12:20,240 --> 00:12:24,080
Speaker 8: This is a state that understands peace through strength and

242
00:12:24,240 --> 00:12:27,320
Speaker 8: understands what it means to have a president who really

243
00:12:27,400 --> 00:12:31,360
Speaker 8: truly backs our soldiers. So, you know, we feel that

244
00:12:31,440 --> 00:12:34,320
Speaker 8: the fundamentals here feel really good. We've just seen a

245
00:12:34,440 --> 00:12:36,760
Speaker 8: number of polls that have come out in the last

246
00:12:36,800 --> 00:12:39,760
Speaker 8: week showing him up you know, two points, three points,

247
00:12:39,800 --> 00:12:45,160
Speaker 8: one point, fairly consistently with a small lead. But you know,

248
00:12:45,200 --> 00:12:47,040
Speaker 8: we won it by three and a half points in

249
00:12:47,320 --> 00:12:49,120
Speaker 8: twenty sixteen. We want it by a point and a

250
00:12:49,120 --> 00:12:52,520
Speaker 8: half in twenty twenty. And I feel like we're in

251
00:12:52,559 --> 00:12:53,760
Speaker 8: pretty solid shape here.

252
00:12:54,400 --> 00:12:58,240
Speaker 5: So that's huge because if Trump wins North Carolina and Georgia,

253
00:12:58,400 --> 00:13:00,320
Speaker 5: which I think he's likely to do, you can tell

254
00:13:00,400 --> 00:13:02,800
Speaker 5: us what you're seeing there. He's got a lot of

255
00:13:02,800 --> 00:13:05,600
Speaker 5: different pathways at that point to be elected president.

256
00:13:06,800 --> 00:13:09,120
Speaker 8: Yeah, we agree, you know, And honestly, if he wins

257
00:13:09,160 --> 00:13:13,160
Speaker 8: every state that he won in sixteen and twenty plus Georgia,

258
00:13:13,280 --> 00:13:15,680
Speaker 8: North Carolina, Pennsylvania, then we have enough to get to

259
00:13:15,720 --> 00:13:19,600
Speaker 8: two seventy and sirmn Waltley is the best place in

260
00:13:19,640 --> 00:13:20,440
Speaker 8: the map right now.

261
00:13:21,000 --> 00:13:23,160
Speaker 4: Sterreman Wantley with us. Now, appreciate you being with us, sir.

262
00:13:23,679 --> 00:13:28,280
Speaker 3: The situation in Pennsylvania, Clay has said, I agree with this.

263
00:13:28,400 --> 00:13:31,360
Speaker 3: I think that this is pretty clear. It is the

264
00:13:31,480 --> 00:13:35,600
Speaker 3: most important battleground state. Perhaps it feels like whoever wins

265
00:13:35,600 --> 00:13:38,160
Speaker 3: Pennsylvania probably wins the whole thing. I was wondering if

266
00:13:38,160 --> 00:13:40,480
Speaker 3: you could just give us a sense as to what

267
00:13:40,559 --> 00:13:43,240
Speaker 3: does the Republican We've got a very important Senate seat

268
00:13:43,320 --> 00:13:47,160
Speaker 3: up there, some congressional races that are critical. What does

269
00:13:47,160 --> 00:13:51,040
Speaker 3: the Republican ground game and plan look like from now

270
00:13:51,080 --> 00:13:54,640
Speaker 3: to election day in the state Pennsylvania That could determine

271
00:13:54,640 --> 00:13:55,120
Speaker 3: the whole thing.

272
00:13:56,240 --> 00:13:58,199
Speaker 8: Yeah, pedal to the medal. I mean, We're going to

273
00:13:58,280 --> 00:14:02,000
Speaker 8: absolutely be hammered down in Pennsylvania from now through election day.

274
00:14:02,640 --> 00:14:05,160
Speaker 8: The sheer number of visions that you are seeing there

275
00:14:05,200 --> 00:14:08,080
Speaker 8: from Donald Trump, from JD. Vance, from a number of

276
00:14:08,080 --> 00:14:12,880
Speaker 8: different surrogates and other folks that support him across the

277
00:14:12,960 --> 00:14:16,719
Speaker 8: state is going to be very regular. We've already seen

278
00:14:16,800 --> 00:14:18,160
Speaker 8: him a bunch and we're going to see him a

279
00:14:18,160 --> 00:14:21,280
Speaker 8: bunch up there. I've been doing regular events up there.

280
00:14:21,320 --> 00:14:24,640
Speaker 8: We've had RFK Junior, We've had Telsea Gabbert, and so

281
00:14:24,760 --> 00:14:28,920
Speaker 8: I expect the presences to be there. The grassroots program

282
00:14:29,520 --> 00:14:31,920
Speaker 8: is very advanced at this point in time. Trump for

283
00:14:32,200 --> 00:14:36,320
Speaker 8: forty seven. We are recruiting and training thousands of volunteers

284
00:14:36,400 --> 00:14:39,280
Speaker 8: right now to make phone calls and knock on doors

285
00:14:39,280 --> 00:14:42,720
Speaker 8: and make sure that they're bringing out the low propensity voters.

286
00:14:42,720 --> 00:14:45,560
Speaker 8: That's the biggest target that we're making sure. You know,

287
00:14:45,600 --> 00:14:48,280
Speaker 8: once you get your base voters in, you've got to

288
00:14:48,320 --> 00:14:51,280
Speaker 8: make sure you get those low propensity guys off the couch.

289
00:14:51,840 --> 00:14:54,040
Speaker 8: So that's the basis for what we're trying to build

290
00:14:54,440 --> 00:14:57,200
Speaker 8: up there. We've got a really good partnership with the

291
00:14:57,400 --> 00:15:01,800
Speaker 8: Pennsylvania GOP. Feel really good about where we are. And

292
00:15:01,880 --> 00:15:05,480
Speaker 8: you know, when we talk about polling versus sixteen and twenty,

293
00:15:06,040 --> 00:15:09,280
Speaker 8: probably no state where we are in better shape today

294
00:15:09,320 --> 00:15:12,800
Speaker 8: than where we were from twenty sixteen and twenty twenty.

295
00:15:13,360 --> 00:15:14,560
Speaker 4: What just you know, you mentioned this.

296
00:15:14,600 --> 00:15:16,080
Speaker 3: I think it's so important because we get a lot

297
00:15:16,120 --> 00:15:20,200
Speaker 3: of emails Chairman Wattley about you know, I want to help,

298
00:15:20,240 --> 00:15:23,760
Speaker 3: I want to get involved for people who live in Pennsylvania.

299
00:15:23,840 --> 00:15:25,920
Speaker 3: We got a lot of states in Pennsylvania, particularly out

300
00:15:25,920 --> 00:15:30,080
Speaker 3: west where there's critical terrain here for this upcoming election.

301
00:15:31,000 --> 00:15:33,040
Speaker 3: Where do they go to kind of get in the

302
00:15:33,080 --> 00:15:34,520
Speaker 3: system and what can they do?

303
00:15:35,760 --> 00:15:37,760
Speaker 8: Yeah, there's two things that they can do. So the

304
00:15:37,760 --> 00:15:40,520
Speaker 8: first is our grassroots program. We call it Trump Force

305
00:15:40,640 --> 00:15:43,280
Speaker 8: forty seven. They can go to Trump Force forty seven

306
00:15:43,360 --> 00:15:47,280
Speaker 8: dot com and you sign up. We will reach back

307
00:15:47,280 --> 00:15:49,720
Speaker 8: out to you. We'll make you a Trump Forced Team captain.

308
00:15:50,400 --> 00:15:51,720
Speaker 8: And the thing that we're going to ask you to

309
00:15:51,720 --> 00:15:54,200
Speaker 8: do is go get ten members of your community to

310
00:15:54,240 --> 00:15:57,360
Speaker 8: commit to vote. It's a pretty basic. Just go talk

311
00:15:57,400 --> 00:16:00,160
Speaker 8: to your friends, your family members, your colleagues, your coworkers,

312
00:16:00,600 --> 00:16:02,880
Speaker 8: get them to commit to vote, and then we're going

313
00:16:02,920 --> 00:16:04,920
Speaker 8: to ask you to do twenty five or fifty or

314
00:16:04,960 --> 00:16:08,160
Speaker 8: one hundred as people keep kind of moving up the chain.

315
00:16:08,360 --> 00:16:11,080
Speaker 8: Anybody who gets one hundred commitments before election day, we're

316
00:16:11,080 --> 00:16:12,760
Speaker 8: going to invite them down to mer Lago for our

317
00:16:12,800 --> 00:16:14,960
Speaker 8: victory party. I think it's going to be a fantastic

318
00:16:15,320 --> 00:16:18,440
Speaker 8: opportunity for people to get involved. The other thing that

319
00:16:18,600 --> 00:16:22,000
Speaker 8: is equally as important for us is our election integrity program.

320
00:16:22,240 --> 00:16:24,360
Speaker 8: And so people can go to Protect the Vote dot

321
00:16:24,360 --> 00:16:26,560
Speaker 8: com and they can sign up and they can get

322
00:16:26,600 --> 00:16:29,240
Speaker 8: trained and they can be a poll worker or a

323
00:16:29,240 --> 00:16:32,920
Speaker 8: pole observer, which is just tremendously important when we talk

324
00:16:32,960 --> 00:16:35,800
Speaker 8: about making sure that we're going to protect the ballot

325
00:16:36,360 --> 00:16:40,120
Speaker 8: and we're going to let everybody know that their vote

326
00:16:40,160 --> 00:16:41,800
Speaker 8: is going to count, and it's going to count once.

327
00:16:42,560 --> 00:16:45,320
Speaker 5: Look, I've talked about this, My wife cared about this,

328
00:16:45,600 --> 00:16:49,120
Speaker 5: and she is now working at our local voting precinct

329
00:16:49,160 --> 00:16:51,480
Speaker 5: and she'll be there all day on election day. And

330
00:16:51,480 --> 00:16:54,440
Speaker 5: I would encourage everybody out there who blows bucking me

331
00:16:54,560 --> 00:16:58,800
Speaker 5: up all the time about being concerned about rigged elections

332
00:16:58,840 --> 00:17:01,240
Speaker 5: to go ahead and volunteer or yourself in your local

333
00:17:01,240 --> 00:17:04,359
Speaker 5: communities to pay attention to how the vote's going. We've

334
00:17:04,359 --> 00:17:07,760
Speaker 5: talked a lot about this, but I'll get critical, absolutely critical.

335
00:17:07,800 --> 00:17:09,439
Speaker 5: We've talked a lot about this on the show, but

336
00:17:09,480 --> 00:17:11,080
Speaker 5: I want people to hear it from you, and they're

337
00:17:11,080 --> 00:17:12,960
Speaker 5: probably going to get tired of us talking about it.

338
00:17:13,400 --> 00:17:14,679
Speaker 2: Buck and I are voting early.

339
00:17:15,320 --> 00:17:18,480
Speaker 5: We have seen the data that the earlier you can

340
00:17:18,520 --> 00:17:21,359
Speaker 5: bank your vote, the better it is for the Trump

341
00:17:21,400 --> 00:17:24,399
Speaker 5: team because it allows low propensity voters to then be

342
00:17:24,480 --> 00:17:28,400
Speaker 5: focused on and for overall turnout to go up. What

343
00:17:28,440 --> 00:17:31,000
Speaker 5: would you tell people out there, Chairman Wattley, who are

344
00:17:31,040 --> 00:17:35,640
Speaker 5: nervous about voting early, about what they can mean by

345
00:17:35,720 --> 00:17:38,440
Speaker 5: getting their ballots banked early, and how would you allay

346
00:17:38,520 --> 00:17:39,560
Speaker 5: their concerns.

347
00:17:40,200 --> 00:17:41,960
Speaker 8: Well, what I would say is just listen to what

348
00:17:42,040 --> 00:17:44,520
Speaker 8: President Trump has said point blank. It is great if

349
00:17:44,560 --> 00:17:46,320
Speaker 8: you want to vote early. It's great if you want

350
00:17:46,320 --> 00:17:47,920
Speaker 8: to vote by mail. It's great if you want to

351
00:17:47,960 --> 00:17:50,840
Speaker 8: vote on election day. The key is you have to

352
00:17:50,840 --> 00:17:53,720
Speaker 8: make a plan and execute the plan and make sure

353
00:17:53,760 --> 00:17:55,920
Speaker 8: that you deliver your vote. You know, when you think

354
00:17:55,960 --> 00:17:59,320
Speaker 8: about the mechanics on early voting, you know there's a

355
00:17:59,359 --> 00:18:01,960
Speaker 8: lot of people who just cannot vote on election day.

356
00:18:02,040 --> 00:18:03,600
Speaker 8: I'm one of them. I don't know where I'm going

357
00:18:03,640 --> 00:18:05,320
Speaker 8: to be on election day. I could be in Arizona,

358
00:18:05,359 --> 00:18:07,320
Speaker 8: I could be in Nevat, I could be, you know,

359
00:18:07,359 --> 00:18:10,639
Speaker 8: in New Hampshire. So the first day of early voting,

360
00:18:10,840 --> 00:18:12,720
Speaker 8: I will be there and I will cast my vote

361
00:18:12,760 --> 00:18:15,840
Speaker 8: for it. It is safe and it is secure. The

362
00:18:15,920 --> 00:18:18,520
Speaker 8: other thing that really comes out of it is we

363
00:18:18,600 --> 00:18:21,000
Speaker 8: spend a lot of money and a lot of time

364
00:18:21,040 --> 00:18:23,240
Speaker 8: and a lot of effort going out and getting people

365
00:18:23,280 --> 00:18:26,520
Speaker 8: to vote, you know, before they cast their vote, whether

366
00:18:26,560 --> 00:18:29,479
Speaker 8: it's by mail or early or on election day. And

367
00:18:29,760 --> 00:18:32,880
Speaker 8: if we're spending time and resources talking to a voter

368
00:18:33,359 --> 00:18:36,320
Speaker 8: and they go vote ten days early, that's ten days

369
00:18:36,320 --> 00:18:38,280
Speaker 8: where I don't have to spend money on them. I

370
00:18:38,320 --> 00:18:41,080
Speaker 8: can actually go spend money to talk to the low

371
00:18:41,119 --> 00:18:43,159
Speaker 8: propensity voters and I can make sure that we're going

372
00:18:43,160 --> 00:18:44,920
Speaker 8: to get them up and we're going to get them

373
00:18:44,960 --> 00:18:47,879
Speaker 8: out and frankly, we can help activate them to go

374
00:18:47,960 --> 00:18:51,080
Speaker 8: have other conversations as well. So there's a lot of

375
00:18:51,119 --> 00:18:55,600
Speaker 8: ancillary benefits to it. We don't want to necessarily cannibalize,

376
00:18:55,720 --> 00:18:57,679
Speaker 8: you know, people who want to vote on election day.

377
00:18:57,680 --> 00:19:00,320
Speaker 8: We're not telling you don't do it, but really, what

378
00:19:00,320 --> 00:19:02,400
Speaker 8: we're trying to do is get people who won't vote

379
00:19:02,440 --> 00:19:05,520
Speaker 8: on election day to go vote earlier, go vote by mail,

380
00:19:05,720 --> 00:19:08,000
Speaker 8: and that way. This is an additive thing. You know,

381
00:19:08,040 --> 00:19:11,439
Speaker 8: we believe in politics through addition. But every dollar I

382
00:19:11,480 --> 00:19:13,720
Speaker 8: don't have to spend convincing you to vote because you

383
00:19:13,760 --> 00:19:16,359
Speaker 8: already have is a dollar I can spend on somebody else.

384
00:19:17,200 --> 00:19:19,919
Speaker 3: And on the election integrity side of things, I remember

385
00:19:19,960 --> 00:19:23,840
Speaker 3: you spoke to us at the RNC in Milwaukee about

386
00:19:24,240 --> 00:19:29,320
Speaker 3: poll monitors. How is that program going? And I'm sure

387
00:19:29,359 --> 00:19:31,640
Speaker 3: you get this. I would be willing to bet your

388
00:19:31,680 --> 00:19:35,760
Speaker 3: office has been deluged last well, you know, months, maybe

389
00:19:35,880 --> 00:19:39,639
Speaker 3: longer with people who are very concerned about what we

390
00:19:39,680 --> 00:19:44,440
Speaker 3: could just call irregularities or Shenanigan's chairman, Wattley, what can

391
00:19:44,480 --> 00:19:48,160
Speaker 3: you say to people about making sure that only legal

392
00:19:48,200 --> 00:19:50,919
Speaker 3: ballots will be counted in this election?

393
00:19:52,119 --> 00:19:55,280
Speaker 8: Yeah, so two key metrics that we're tracking and we're

394
00:19:55,320 --> 00:19:59,080
Speaker 8: working on. What we're seeing in terms of making sure

395
00:19:59,119 --> 00:20:01,800
Speaker 8: we have the right law, rules and regulations put in

396
00:20:01,840 --> 00:20:07,080
Speaker 8: place in every state is the states are making dramatic improvements.

397
00:20:07,400 --> 00:20:09,880
Speaker 8: Some of them are doing it voluntarily and working with us.

398
00:20:10,200 --> 00:20:12,399
Speaker 8: Other ones we're having to sue. I filed one hundred

399
00:20:12,400 --> 00:20:15,479
Speaker 8: and fifteen lawsuits as the General Counsel and now as

400
00:20:15,560 --> 00:20:18,160
Speaker 8: the Chair of the RNC, and we're getting some very

401
00:20:18,160 --> 00:20:22,600
Speaker 8: important wins making sure that we're keeping the basic rules

402
00:20:22,840 --> 00:20:26,080
Speaker 8: of the road in place so only American citizens can vote.

403
00:20:26,160 --> 00:20:28,240
Speaker 8: You've got to have a voter ID. We want the

404
00:20:28,280 --> 00:20:30,639
Speaker 8: states to clean up the voter rules, and where we

405
00:20:30,680 --> 00:20:33,399
Speaker 8: have mail in balloting, we want basic protections on those.

406
00:20:33,640 --> 00:20:36,560
Speaker 8: So really good progress that we're making there, not enough.

407
00:20:37,160 --> 00:20:38,960
Speaker 8: We've still got work to do. We've got a number

408
00:20:38,960 --> 00:20:41,960
Speaker 8: of states, you know, particularly Pennsylvania and Michigan that keep

409
00:20:42,000 --> 00:20:44,280
Speaker 8: fighting us on it, so we end up in court

410
00:20:44,359 --> 00:20:47,280
Speaker 8: quite a bit, but even there we're starting to get

411
00:20:47,320 --> 00:20:51,199
Speaker 8: some pretty significant wins. The other metric is that we

412
00:20:51,400 --> 00:20:53,119
Speaker 8: want to be in the room right We want to

413
00:20:53,119 --> 00:20:55,760
Speaker 8: be in the room with volunteers and attorneys anytime a

414
00:20:55,840 --> 00:20:58,439
Speaker 8: voter is cast or accounted. Since Laura Trump and I

415
00:20:58,560 --> 00:21:01,040
Speaker 8: put this program together, we said we were going to

416
00:21:01,040 --> 00:21:03,840
Speaker 8: get one hundred thousand people to sign up for that program.

417
00:21:03,920 --> 00:21:05,800
Speaker 8: Very excited to say we've got one hundred and seventy

418
00:21:05,800 --> 00:21:09,520
Speaker 8: five thousand people already across the country who have signed up,

419
00:21:09,800 --> 00:21:12,200
Speaker 8: and we've got five thousand of them in every single

420
00:21:12,200 --> 00:21:15,359
Speaker 8: one of our battleground states. And we're continuing to recruit.

421
00:21:15,400 --> 00:21:19,520
Speaker 8: We're continuing to do more. Laura Trump, Matt Whittaker, who

422
00:21:19,560 --> 00:21:22,359
Speaker 8: was the acting Attorney general for President Trump, Pam Bondi,

423
00:21:22,920 --> 00:21:25,879
Speaker 8: who was the Attorney general down in Pennsylvania, myself have

424
00:21:26,000 --> 00:21:29,560
Speaker 8: had a nationwide tour. We call it the Protective Vote Tour.

425
00:21:29,640 --> 00:21:33,960
Speaker 8: We were just in New Hampshire last night, in having

426
00:21:34,040 --> 00:21:38,679
Speaker 8: a fantastic series of conversations all across the country making

427
00:21:38,720 --> 00:21:41,320
Speaker 8: sure that we're raising awareness of this and that we're

428
00:21:41,320 --> 00:21:42,399
Speaker 8: getting people to sign up.

429
00:21:43,040 --> 00:21:46,560
Speaker 5: We know Trump had the rally last night in Long Island.

430
00:21:46,880 --> 00:21:53,159
Speaker 5: We know, as just talking with you, Georgia, North Carolina, Nevada, Arizona, Wisconsin, Michigan, Pennsylvania,

431
00:21:53,359 --> 00:21:57,200
Speaker 5: all the seven battleground states. Where else would you tell us?

432
00:21:57,240 --> 00:21:59,960
Speaker 5: You just mentioned New Hampshire. Shall we be paying attention there?

433
00:22:00,359 --> 00:22:03,760
Speaker 5: Where is momentum that maybe might surprise people a little

434
00:22:03,800 --> 00:22:08,000
Speaker 5: bit outside of the seven battleground states that everybody talks about.

435
00:22:08,800 --> 00:22:11,359
Speaker 8: You know, Virginia, we're seeing some pretty good results. We

436
00:22:11,520 --> 00:22:13,159
Speaker 8: like the numbers there, and we've got a guy in

437
00:22:13,200 --> 00:22:15,639
Speaker 8: Glenn Younkin who showed us how you can win in

438
00:22:15,720 --> 00:22:19,200
Speaker 8: Virginia as a Republican. The guy is just absolutely transformed

439
00:22:19,520 --> 00:22:22,640
Speaker 8: politics in that state and he's been a great partner,

440
00:22:22,720 --> 00:22:25,159
Speaker 8: and so we're working with him right now. So I

441
00:22:25,240 --> 00:22:28,040
Speaker 8: really am very bullish about what we can try and

442
00:22:28,080 --> 00:22:31,320
Speaker 8: do on the ground in Virginia New Hampshire. You know,

443
00:22:31,359 --> 00:22:33,399
Speaker 8: we feel really really good about it. I spent the

444
00:22:33,440 --> 00:22:35,479
Speaker 8: day up there yesterday. I had a number of meetings

445
00:22:35,520 --> 00:22:38,880
Speaker 8: and events, and you know, we feel good about what's

446
00:22:38,920 --> 00:22:41,159
Speaker 8: going on there. You know, And the stretch that the

447
00:22:41,200 --> 00:22:44,600
Speaker 8: President wants to continue to talk about is a place

448
00:22:44,680 --> 00:22:47,159
Speaker 8: like New Jersey where we're actually showing you know, some

449
00:22:47,240 --> 00:22:50,919
Speaker 8: of the polling showing him that's inside the margin, you know.

450
00:22:51,160 --> 00:22:53,119
Speaker 8: And and you know, when you have a rally with

451
00:22:53,160 --> 00:22:55,439
Speaker 8: one hundred and seven thousand people, you kind of got

452
00:22:55,480 --> 00:22:57,959
Speaker 8: to believe that you're doing something there. You know, it

453
00:22:58,000 --> 00:23:00,359
Speaker 8: may be a stretch, but you know what, we're going

454
00:23:00,400 --> 00:23:03,720
Speaker 8: to have those conversations. You know, I think we're spending

455
00:23:03,800 --> 00:23:06,800
Speaker 8: time in New York. He was in Nassau yesterday. We've

456
00:23:06,800 --> 00:23:10,399
Speaker 8: been in California because we've got congressional districts there that

457
00:23:10,560 --> 00:23:13,639
Speaker 8: really truly matter. And so even if we're not going

458
00:23:13,680 --> 00:23:16,119
Speaker 8: to be able to carry the state, we do feel

459
00:23:16,119 --> 00:23:18,880
Speaker 8: like we're in a great position to carry those congressional districts,

460
00:23:18,880 --> 00:23:21,879
Speaker 8: which we need in order to expand our majority in

461
00:23:21,920 --> 00:23:24,400
Speaker 8: the House. So we like the mat. I mean, we're

462
00:23:24,440 --> 00:23:27,600
Speaker 8: playing offense right now. I think that Kamala Harrison the

463
00:23:27,640 --> 00:23:31,240
Speaker 8: Democrats are playing defense, especially when you look at the

464
00:23:31,320 --> 00:23:35,720
Speaker 8: seven battleground states where we're showing you know, probably slim

465
00:23:36,400 --> 00:23:38,720
Speaker 8: but very durable legie in five of them, and we're

466
00:23:38,720 --> 00:23:40,040
Speaker 8: basically tied in the other.

467
00:23:39,880 --> 00:23:43,480
Speaker 4: Two right now, Chairman Watley of the R and C.

468
00:23:43,800 --> 00:23:46,520
Speaker 3: Great to have you on, sir, you know, stay on

469
00:23:46,560 --> 00:23:48,560
Speaker 3: the mission and we'll talk to you again, hopefully before

470
00:23:48,560 --> 00:23:50,760
Speaker 3: the election, and we'll be celebrating soon thereafter.

471
00:23:52,320 --> 00:23:55,160
Speaker 8: Tell you, I really truly appreciate the opportunity to talk

472
00:23:55,200 --> 00:23:57,000
Speaker 8: to you, but more importantly to talk to all of

473
00:23:57,000 --> 00:24:00,359
Speaker 8: your listeners, and we certainly hope that everybody will go

474
00:24:00,480 --> 00:24:03,240

Speaker 8: for forty seven dot com and sign up and join

476
00:24:06,560 --> 00:24:06,880

477
00:24:07,640 --> 00:24:10,120
Speaker 4: There you go, you heard him. Everybody go join up.

478
00:24:10,119 --> 00:24:11,400
Speaker 4: Thanks so much, chairman.

479
00:24:13,760 --> 00:24:17,760
Speaker 1: You're listening to twenty four the most important tier in

480
00:24:17,880 --> 00:24:20,040
Speaker 1: politics with Clay Travis D.

481
00:24:20,160 --> 00:24:23,160
Speaker 2: Box Sexton critical that.

482
00:24:23,240 --> 00:24:28,320
Speaker 3: We have a Senate win and Senate control after this election,

483
00:24:28,920 --> 00:24:30,479
Speaker 3: and we want to focus in on some of the

484
00:24:30,560 --> 00:24:34,240
Speaker 3: most important battles for the Senate state by state, especially

485
00:24:34,280 --> 00:24:36,600
Speaker 3: as we're in the closing weeks here of this election cycle.

486
00:24:37,240 --> 00:24:40,240
Speaker 3: Tim Sheehy is with us now. He is a former

487
00:24:40,320 --> 00:24:46,240
Speaker 3: Navy seal, an entrepreneur and running for Senate in Montana. Tim,

488
00:24:46,640 --> 00:24:49,440
Speaker 3: if you win, chances are we have controlled the Senate.

489
00:24:49,520 --> 00:24:51,800
Speaker 3: So no pressure, but everyone's counting on you.

490
00:24:53,320 --> 00:24:55,840
Speaker 10: It's a high stakes election, no question, and I mean

491
00:24:55,880 --> 00:24:58,280
Speaker 10: all these races up and down of course the White House,

492
00:24:58,320 --> 00:25:01,800
Speaker 10: Senate House representatives. We've seen what's happened in the last three

493
00:25:01,800 --> 00:25:04,680
Speaker 10: and a half years when just two of those chambers

494
00:25:04,680 --> 00:25:07,240
Speaker 10: have been a Democrat control, and it's a sin a catastrophe.

495
00:25:07,320 --> 00:25:11,200
Speaker 10: So the Senate is our firewall. The Senator firewall for personnel,

496
00:25:11,280 --> 00:25:15,399
Speaker 10: for cabinet nominees, judges, and common sense legislation. And we

497
00:25:15,440 --> 00:25:17,240
Speaker 10: have met a lot of common sences last three year.

498
00:25:17,359 --> 00:25:20,080
Speaker 10: So this yere's our chance. The majority runs right through

499
00:25:20,080 --> 00:25:22,399
Speaker 10: Montana and right now we're in the lead, but we

500
00:25:22,440 --> 00:25:23,840
Speaker 10: got to keep the pressure on them. We got forty

501
00:25:23,840 --> 00:25:25,520
Speaker 10: five days left and it's a critical race.

502
00:25:26,119 --> 00:25:28,080
Speaker 5: Tim, appreciate you coming on with us. What can you

503
00:25:28,119 --> 00:25:31,280
Speaker 5: tell us about what the voting process is like in Montana?

504
00:25:31,359 --> 00:25:33,800
Speaker 5: When do ballot start getting sent in?

505
00:25:34,000 --> 00:25:34,160
Speaker 4: When?

506
00:25:34,520 --> 00:25:37,600
Speaker 5: How does the process play itself out? As for people

507
00:25:37,600 --> 00:25:39,000
Speaker 5: out there who have not been paying a lot of

508
00:25:39,040 --> 00:25:41,639
Speaker 5: attention to the Senate, Republicans are going to pick up

509
00:25:41,640 --> 00:25:44,800
Speaker 5: a seat in West Virginia that gets us to fifty

510
00:25:44,840 --> 00:25:47,600
Speaker 5: to fifty, then you could be the guy who gives

511
00:25:47,640 --> 00:25:50,200
Speaker 5: Republicans the majority in the Senate in Montana.

512
00:25:50,359 --> 00:25:53,080
Speaker 2: Huge race. When does the official voting begin?

513
00:25:54,240 --> 00:25:56,560
Speaker 10: Well, of course election day November fifth, in person of

514
00:25:56,640 --> 00:25:59,640
Speaker 10: the polls, but the vast majority of Montana's vote early

515
00:25:59,680 --> 00:26:02,480
Speaker 10: through the mail and that process will start here in

516
00:26:02,480 --> 00:26:05,199
Speaker 10: just a couple of weeks. So our election really begins

517
00:26:05,200 --> 00:26:07,679
Speaker 10: here in about two weeks, and most ballots will be

518
00:26:07,760 --> 00:26:11,320
Speaker 10: cast prior to official election day, so we've been running

519
00:26:11,480 --> 00:26:13,800
Speaker 10: to an October fifth finish line. To be quite honest,

520
00:26:13,800 --> 00:26:16,560
Speaker 10: we're gonna keep running after that. Luckily, we have a

521
00:26:16,560 --> 00:26:20,320
Speaker 10: fantastic Secretary of State, great governor, great attorney general. So

522
00:26:20,400 --> 00:26:23,720
Speaker 10: at the state level, we've got a very secure election process.

523
00:26:23,760 --> 00:26:27,520
Speaker 10: Montana's constructs the election process here. Doesn't mean we can't

524
00:26:27,520 --> 00:26:30,439
Speaker 10: be vigilant, but the reality is we do have a

525
00:26:30,440 --> 00:26:33,119
Speaker 10: strong team at the state level, but mail and will

526
00:26:33,160 --> 00:26:35,240
Speaker 10: be the majority of it. Ballot harvesting is legal here

527
00:26:35,240 --> 00:26:38,399
Speaker 10: in Montana. Appsent via course and vote by mail, so

528
00:26:38,840 --> 00:26:42,200
Speaker 10: it's going to be hyper important Number One that Republicans

529
00:26:42,359 --> 00:26:44,840
Speaker 10: and frankly all Montana's everyone deserves to vote, but we

530
00:26:44,880 --> 00:26:46,919
Speaker 10: get out the vote. People have to show up and vote.

531
00:26:47,760 --> 00:26:51,280
Speaker 10: You know, that's an increasing problem across America and for Republicans.

532
00:26:51,320 --> 00:26:53,200
Speaker 10: We have to embrace the fact that the rules allow

533
00:26:53,280 --> 00:26:57,120
Speaker 10: us to vote in many different ways absentee, via mail,

534
00:26:57,800 --> 00:27:00,560
Speaker 10: in person early. We have to out there and we've

535
00:27:00,560 --> 00:27:03,480
Speaker 10: got to make sure every single legal way we can vote,

536
00:27:03,600 --> 00:27:06,000
Speaker 10: we vote, because if we don't, you know, we're bringing

537
00:27:06,000 --> 00:27:08,080
Speaker 10: a knife to a gunfight. So it's going to be

538
00:27:08,119 --> 00:27:10,159
Speaker 10: a very close election any which way we cut it,

539
00:27:10,720 --> 00:27:12,320
Speaker 10: but it's going to be secure here in Montana. Have

540
00:27:12,320 --> 00:27:13,000
Speaker 10: confidence in that.

541
00:27:13,520 --> 00:27:14,840
Speaker 2: Two parter are here for you.

542
00:27:15,760 --> 00:27:18,879
Speaker 5: How long do you expect the counting process to go,

543
00:27:18,920 --> 00:27:21,000
Speaker 5: because that's a question we get from a lot of places.

544
00:27:21,000 --> 00:27:25,520
Speaker 5: If people start voting on October fifth there. Secondly, how

545
00:27:25,560 --> 00:27:28,639
Speaker 5: important is it for people in your mind to go

546
00:27:28,680 --> 00:27:32,399
Speaker 5: ahead and vote early because Montana, in particular, the weather

547
00:27:32,440 --> 00:27:34,880
Speaker 5: can be crazy by the time you get to November fifth, right,

548
00:27:35,240 --> 00:27:38,719
Speaker 5: and I imagine people have to drive sometimes substantial different

549
00:27:38,800 --> 00:27:42,320
Speaker 5: distances to get to a polling place. This can eliminate

550
00:27:42,359 --> 00:27:44,960
Speaker 5: the uncertainty for anybody out there listening to us in

551
00:27:45,040 --> 00:27:47,000
Speaker 5: Montana by going ahead and geting your ballot in.

552
00:27:47,760 --> 00:27:51,280
Speaker 10: Oh, you're absolutely right, And people are rightfully skeptical. They said, Man,

553
00:27:51,280 --> 00:27:52,680
Speaker 10: I don't want to stick my ballot and the mail.

554
00:27:52,720 --> 00:27:54,359
Speaker 10: Someone's going to grab it open and look at it.

555
00:27:54,359 --> 00:27:56,000
Speaker 10: They either don't want to be out or they're worried

556
00:27:56,000 --> 00:27:58,560
Speaker 10: about election security. Those are very fair concerns, And to

557
00:27:58,560 --> 00:28:00,840
Speaker 10: be clear, in a perfect world, I agree, voter ID

558
00:28:00,960 --> 00:28:03,119
Speaker 10: in person day of elections, but guess what, that's not

559
00:28:03,200 --> 00:28:05,200
Speaker 10: the law to land, so we have to use every

560
00:28:05,240 --> 00:28:07,240
Speaker 10: possible way to get it out. We learned our lesson

561
00:28:07,240 --> 00:28:09,399
Speaker 10: as Republicans in the VATA in twenty twenty two, and

562
00:28:09,880 --> 00:28:11,520
Speaker 10: you know, there was a lot of pressure from the

563
00:28:11,560 --> 00:28:13,760
Speaker 10: Republican side to say, hey, we only vote in person

564
00:28:13,800 --> 00:28:16,760
Speaker 10: day of the election. And then, as you correctly pointed out,

565
00:28:16,760 --> 00:28:18,840
Speaker 10: you know, on the biggest snowstorm in like thirty years

566
00:28:18,920 --> 00:28:21,119
Speaker 10: hit that night, and you know, we ended up losing

567
00:28:21,200 --> 00:28:23,600
Speaker 10: by I think under ten thousand votes. And you know,

568
00:28:23,640 --> 00:28:26,520
Speaker 10: had we that storm not hit, had those Republican ballots

569
00:28:26,520 --> 00:28:29,240
Speaker 10: gotten in early, we likely would have won that election

570
00:28:29,520 --> 00:28:32,480
Speaker 10: for Laxalt. So we are encouraging and have been encouraging

571
00:28:32,520 --> 00:28:35,520
Speaker 10: everybody vote early. Vote be a mail vote, absentee, any

572
00:28:35,520 --> 00:28:38,000
Speaker 10: which way. Just make sure your vote is counted. It

573
00:28:38,040 --> 00:28:40,720
Speaker 10: will be counted securely. The election will be secure here.

574
00:28:41,560 --> 00:28:43,120
Speaker 10: But we got to get started early. So if you

575
00:28:43,160 --> 00:28:44,800
Speaker 10: get a mail in ballots, fill it out the first

576
00:28:44,840 --> 00:28:46,360
Speaker 10: d you get it and get it out of there

577
00:28:46,360 --> 00:28:47,880
Speaker 10: so we can get it in the ballot box and

578
00:28:47,960 --> 00:28:50,880
Speaker 10: ensure that your vote is going to be counted. You know,

579
00:28:50,960 --> 00:28:54,640
Speaker 10: going forward, I'll always support election security, a legislation of

580
00:28:54,680 --> 00:28:57,960
Speaker 10: any kind from voter I D to obviously ensuring only

581
00:28:57,960 --> 00:29:01,080
Speaker 10: citizens are voting to you know, election day with voter ID.

582
00:29:01,200 --> 00:29:02,760
Speaker 10: But the reality is, like I said, that's not the

583
00:29:02,840 --> 00:29:04,600
Speaker 10: law of land today. So we've got to vote every

584
00:29:04,680 --> 00:29:06,080
Speaker 10: single way we can that's legal.

585
00:29:06,440 --> 00:29:06,680
Speaker 3: Uh.

586
00:29:06,720 --> 00:29:09,240
Speaker 10: And in Montana that really means mail in ballots, you know,

587
00:29:09,320 --> 00:29:10,640
Speaker 10: get that mail and ballid in early.

588
00:29:11,480 --> 00:29:13,960
Speaker 3: We're speaking to Tim Sheey running in Montana. Tim, what's

589
00:29:14,000 --> 00:29:15,880
Speaker 3: your site for people who want to pitch in, help

590
00:29:15,960 --> 00:29:17,400
Speaker 3: donate whatever they can do?

591
00:29:18,560 --> 00:29:21,160
Speaker 10: Tim for mt dot com, Tim f O r M

592
00:29:21,240 --> 00:29:22,080
Speaker 10: T dot com.

593
00:29:22,400 --> 00:29:22,560
Speaker 7: Uh.

594
00:29:22,600 --> 00:29:24,400
Speaker 10: They can learn about the issues, of course, you know,

595
00:29:24,520 --> 00:29:26,520
Speaker 10: learn about me and obviously if they're if they have

596
00:29:26,560 --> 00:29:29,600
Speaker 10: the capacity support us financially, every little bit helps. We're

597
00:29:29,640 --> 00:29:32,600
Speaker 10: running a grassroots campaign. We can never compete with the Democrats,

598
00:29:32,640 --> 00:29:35,000
Speaker 10: as you know. Uh, as far as on air spending,

599
00:29:35,000 --> 00:29:36,920
Speaker 10: out of state, dark money just rolls in. It's it's

600
00:29:36,920 --> 00:29:40,040
Speaker 10: astounding how much money they bring into their campaigns. Uh.

601
00:29:40,080 --> 00:29:41,480
Speaker 10: So we're always going to be underfunded.

602
00:29:41,760 --> 00:29:41,880
Speaker 7: Uh.

603
00:29:42,040 --> 00:29:45,840
Speaker 10: We've been running the ground, ground game campaign, grassroots door knockers,

604
00:29:45,960 --> 00:29:49,560
Speaker 10: yard signs, doorhanngers, volunteers out there just working the working

605
00:29:49,600 --> 00:29:51,440
Speaker 10: the pavement, and that's paid off for us so far.

606
00:29:51,480 --> 00:29:53,680
Speaker 10: We're ahead in the polls. But we got to stay

607
00:29:53,680 --> 00:29:55,800
Speaker 10: that way, uh, and we'll need your help to do that.

608
00:29:56,520 --> 00:29:59,320
Speaker 3: And I just wanted to ask how it's looking with

609
00:30:00,080 --> 00:30:04,240
Speaker 3: Kamala Harris, a particularly weak candidate running a really no

610
00:30:04,400 --> 00:30:07,920
Speaker 3: show campaign, pretending to be something completely different from what

611
00:30:08,000 --> 00:30:10,840
Speaker 3: she has been in politics for really her entire time

612
00:30:10,880 --> 00:30:14,080
Speaker 3: in politics. She's the Democrat at the top of the ticket.

613
00:30:14,360 --> 00:30:18,040
Speaker 3: John Tester, the incumbent that you're running against in Montana,

614
00:30:18,360 --> 00:30:21,440
Speaker 3: does he just pretend like he you know, is he

615
00:30:21,920 --> 00:30:25,720
Speaker 3: distancing himself from Kamala? Is he pretending he's not a Democrat? Like?

616
00:30:25,760 --> 00:30:25,960
Speaker 2: What?

617
00:30:25,960 --> 00:30:28,320
Speaker 3: What's the game that he's playing? Because he knows you're

618
00:30:28,360 --> 00:30:30,360
Speaker 3: in striking distance, He's got to be worried.

619
00:30:31,160 --> 00:30:33,400
Speaker 10: All the above, you know, And this is the classic

620
00:30:33,400 --> 00:30:35,320
Speaker 10: two faced test or playbook. You know, goes to d

621
00:30:35,440 --> 00:30:38,480
Speaker 10: C votes with Elizabeth Warren, you know, votes party line.

622
00:30:38,560 --> 00:30:41,760
Speaker 10: You know, supports every piece of Biden Harris legislation, impeached

623
00:30:41,760 --> 00:30:44,680
Speaker 10: Trump twice, you know, voted for every against all of

624
00:30:44,720 --> 00:30:47,360
Speaker 10: Trump's nominees, voted for all of Biden's nominees. I mean,

625
00:30:47,400 --> 00:30:51,000
Speaker 10: he's a party line Democrat hack. And of course, as

626
00:30:51,120 --> 00:30:53,440
Speaker 10: every time he's up for reelection, you know, these final

627
00:30:53,520 --> 00:30:55,200
Speaker 10: ninety to one hundred and twenty days of four election,

628
00:30:55,280 --> 00:30:57,440
Speaker 10: all of a sudden, he's a gun toting, Bible something

629
00:30:57,440 --> 00:31:00,680
Speaker 10: border security Republican, and he's the guy that routed Kamila

630
00:31:00,720 --> 00:31:02,680
Speaker 10: Harris into the Senate in twenty fifteen when he was

631
00:31:02,760 --> 00:31:05,760
Speaker 10: chair of the DFCC, you know, is basically single handedly

632
00:31:05,800 --> 00:31:09,280
Speaker 10: responsible for her national to local rise. Has of course

633
00:31:09,360 --> 00:31:12,560
Speaker 10: endorsed the Biden Harris campaign last election, even has been

634
00:31:12,560 --> 00:31:14,840
Speaker 10: on you know, on record this election cycle saying it's

635
00:31:15,080 --> 00:31:18,160
Speaker 10: the most important thing in the nation to elect Camil

636
00:31:18,200 --> 00:31:20,000
Speaker 10: Harris and Tim Walls to the White House, but of

637
00:31:20,000 --> 00:31:23,479
Speaker 10: course refuses to actually endorse her because, as usual, as

638
00:31:23,480 --> 00:31:25,880
Speaker 10: you correctly stated, he's got to distance himself from the

639
00:31:25,920 --> 00:31:29,320
Speaker 10: radical agenda that is so deeply unpopular in Montana and

640
00:31:29,360 --> 00:31:32,440
Speaker 10: frankly across America. And it's just it's astounding to me.

641
00:31:32,480 --> 00:31:34,080
Speaker 10: It shouldn't be astounding, We should be used to it

642
00:31:34,120 --> 00:31:35,960
Speaker 10: by now, but it's a dounding to me how the

643
00:31:36,040 --> 00:31:38,880
Speaker 10: media is just letting her skate away, and all the Democrats,

644
00:31:38,920 --> 00:31:41,719
Speaker 10: frankly who supported her in the past, that just scott

645
00:31:41,800 --> 00:31:45,280
Speaker 10: free over their support for her radical agenda that you

646
00:31:45,280 --> 00:31:47,800
Speaker 10: know from the unions who are refusing to endorse her,

647
00:31:47,920 --> 00:31:50,920
Speaker 10: to working class Americans, to legal immigrants who are saying

648
00:31:51,000 --> 00:31:54,360
Speaker 10: this agenda has been terrible for us. We cannot let

649
00:31:54,400 --> 00:31:57,680
Speaker 10: it continue. And these Democrats like John Mister, like Shared Brown,

650
00:31:58,400 --> 00:32:01,640
Speaker 10: you know, obviously, like Camp Harris and Tim Waltz, this

651
00:32:01,680 --> 00:32:04,080
Speaker 10: agenda is bad for Americans, and they're not holding the

652
00:32:04,080 --> 00:32:06,160
Speaker 10: feat of the fire. They're letting her conduct the softball

653
00:32:06,240 --> 00:32:09,240
Speaker 10: not even softball, they're key ball interviews. I mean, they're pathetic,

654
00:32:10,080 --> 00:32:12,320
Speaker 10: but she's getting away with it. But luckily the average

655
00:32:12,360 --> 00:32:14,560
Speaker 10: Americans seeing through it, and we're seeing the polls look

656
00:32:14,600 --> 00:32:17,440
Speaker 10: better than before. In Montana, the switch from Biden Harris

657
00:32:17,560 --> 00:32:20,400
Speaker 10: is actually helping us. I think nationally it's certainly bullied

658
00:32:20,400 --> 00:32:22,400
Speaker 10: the Democrats side of the ticket, but here in Montana

659
00:32:22,880 --> 00:32:25,480
Speaker 10: she's even less popular than Biden. So I think it's

660
00:32:25,520 --> 00:32:27,480
Speaker 10: going to be a tailing for us here in Montana.

661
00:32:27,480 --> 00:32:29,040
Speaker 10: On November fifth, we're.

662
00:32:28,920 --> 00:32:32,480
Speaker 5: Talking Tenator Tim Sheehy, the next senator from I'm giving

663
00:32:32,520 --> 00:32:34,959
Speaker 5: you the title early, but we believe the next senator

664
00:32:35,000 --> 00:32:38,960
Speaker 5: from Montana, we certainly hope. When I asked you the question,

665
00:32:39,120 --> 00:32:41,440
Speaker 5: because there is a lot of question about ballot security,

666
00:32:41,480 --> 00:32:45,560
Speaker 5: and election outcome. Given the number of mail in ballots

667
00:32:45,600 --> 00:32:49,640
Speaker 5: involved in Montana voting, when do you anticipate knowing the

668
00:32:49,680 --> 00:32:53,120
Speaker 5: final results or results that can allow us to know

669
00:32:53,160 --> 00:32:56,080
Speaker 5: who won? Because there's a lot of states out there

670
00:32:56,120 --> 00:32:59,120
Speaker 5: where we go on weeks sometimes not knowing what the

671
00:32:59,240 --> 00:33:01,920
Speaker 5: outcome was. Is what should we expect in Montana.

672
00:33:03,120 --> 00:33:05,400
Speaker 10: I'm pretty confident we're going to know election night, or

673
00:33:05,440 --> 00:33:07,360
Speaker 10: at least earlier the next morning. I don't think it'll

674
00:33:07,400 --> 00:33:10,080
Speaker 10: drag on, you know, multiple days. Again, We've got a

675
00:33:10,080 --> 00:33:13,000
Speaker 10: great Secretary of State and team there, and you know,

676
00:33:13,360 --> 00:33:16,160
Speaker 10: I think we've also invested in some just good common sense,

677
00:33:16,520 --> 00:33:19,440
Speaker 10: you know, Center Bill Haggerty Tennessee with sent election Fund.

678
00:33:19,480 --> 00:33:21,680
Speaker 10: You know, he's been investing in a lot of election

679
00:33:21,760 --> 00:33:25,160
Speaker 10: security initiatives around the country and ballot security initiatives from

680
00:33:25,200 --> 00:33:27,760
Speaker 10: ballot caring to ballot harvesting. And I think what we're

681
00:33:27,760 --> 00:33:30,000
Speaker 10: going to see in Montana. I can't speak for other states,

682
00:33:30,000 --> 00:33:31,640
Speaker 10: but I think what we're going to see in Montana

683
00:33:32,360 --> 00:33:35,040
Speaker 10: is a swift and secure vote count that's going to

684
00:33:35,120 --> 00:33:37,920
Speaker 10: let people know very quickly, you know, who came out

685
00:33:37,920 --> 00:33:40,920
Speaker 10: and head in Montana this election. So I anticipate knowing,

686
00:33:41,040 --> 00:33:44,160
Speaker 10: you know, probably you know, midnight or soon thereafter on

687
00:33:44,200 --> 00:33:47,720
Speaker 10: November fifth, November sixth, you know, could be wrong. Hopefully

688
00:33:47,760 --> 00:33:50,080
Speaker 10: doesn't drag on too long, but I think most of

689
00:33:50,080 --> 00:33:51,920
Speaker 10: the races in the state are going to be very

690
00:33:51,960 --> 00:33:54,760
Speaker 10: secure races. We are now becoming a reliably red state,

691
00:33:55,120 --> 00:33:57,240
Speaker 10: so you know, the governor's race and ressional races, and

692
00:33:57,520 --> 00:34:00,000
Speaker 10: obviously the presidential ballot here will be very very quick

693
00:34:00,160 --> 00:34:02,760
Speaker 10: early on. You know, we're obviously really the only battleground

694
00:34:03,080 --> 00:34:05,959
Speaker 10: flip seat here. But again, I have faith in our

695
00:34:05,960 --> 00:34:08,319
Speaker 10: election process here in Montana. I think we'll know pretty soon.

696
00:34:09,160 --> 00:34:11,000
Speaker 4: Tim, she he Tim, appreciate you being with us.

697
00:34:11,040 --> 00:34:13,160
Speaker 10: Thanks so much, Thanks so much for having me back.

698
00:34:13,200 --> 00:34:14,400
Speaker 10: We're almost there. Thanks for the sport.

699
00:34:16,719 --> 00:34:20,800
Speaker 1: If you're listening to twenty four the Year of Impact

700
00:34:21,080 --> 00:34:23,640
Speaker 1: with Clay and Buck the.

701
00:34:23,600 --> 00:34:27,440
Speaker 5: Man running for Senate as the Republican nominee in Wisconsin,

702
00:34:27,480 --> 00:34:29,560
Speaker 5: a state that I just got back from visiting for

703
00:34:29,680 --> 00:34:33,359
Speaker 5: the Alabama Wisconsin game. I am sorry that we didn't

704
00:34:33,440 --> 00:34:35,160
Speaker 5: end up getting to hang out. I had so many

705
00:34:35,200 --> 00:34:38,320
Speaker 5: different moving parts there with my kids and birthday parties

706
00:34:38,320 --> 00:34:41,280
Speaker 5: and everything else that was going on. Senator future Senator

707
00:34:41,320 --> 00:34:44,120
Speaker 5: I hope. Eric Hovdy, We'll get into that in a moment,

708
00:34:44,160 --> 00:34:47,000
Speaker 5: but I want to just start. What was your reaction

709
00:34:47,239 --> 00:34:50,839
Speaker 5: when you heard the news that they had attempted to

710
00:34:51,120 --> 00:34:57,360
Speaker 5: assassinate Trump again, a man citing democracy, big Ukraine supporter,

711
00:34:57,880 --> 00:35:01,560
Speaker 5: someone who in many ways parents what Kamala Harris and

712
00:35:01,680 --> 00:35:04,120
Speaker 5: Joe Biden say every single day.

713
00:35:04,400 --> 00:35:05,280
Speaker 2: What was your reaction?

714
00:35:08,160 --> 00:35:09,280
Speaker 8: Send and angry.

715
00:35:10,320 --> 00:35:12,840
Speaker 7: Look if you think of all that they've tried to

716
00:35:12,880 --> 00:35:16,600
Speaker 7: do to President Trump, They've tried to bankrupt them, they've

717
00:35:16,640 --> 00:35:21,680
Speaker 7: tried to put him in jail now, two different assassination attempts.

718
00:35:22,120 --> 00:35:26,759
Speaker 7: I love how they always gaslight spinning. They're defending democracy.

719
00:35:26,880 --> 00:35:30,680
Speaker 7: They've turned our justice system, you know, weaponized our justice system.

720
00:35:31,000 --> 00:35:34,560
Speaker 7: They've turned our courts into political theater. They've tried to

721
00:35:35,280 --> 00:35:40,560
Speaker 7: block ballot access, not just for President Trump, Robert F. Kennedy,

722
00:35:40,719 --> 00:35:46,759
Speaker 7: the no Labels Unity ticket. I mean, these people have

723
00:35:47,560 --> 00:35:51,760
Speaker 7: no morals, no ethics. And you know they say, oh,

724
00:35:51,920 --> 00:35:55,600
Speaker 7: it's President Trump's tone. I don't ever recall President Trump

725
00:35:55,640 --> 00:35:59,319
Speaker 7: saying half of American voters are deplorable. I don't ever

726
00:35:59,360 --> 00:36:05,840
Speaker 7: remember President Trump saying half of American voters are racist massagynists.

727
00:36:06,400 --> 00:36:09,879
Speaker 7: But that's the rhetick they use, and they basically call

728
00:36:09,960 --> 00:36:13,480
Speaker 7: President Trump hitler. I mean, the senator I'm running against,

729
00:36:13,520 --> 00:36:17,879
Speaker 7: Tammy Baldwin said, he's one of the most dangerous man

730
00:36:18,320 --> 00:36:21,160
Speaker 7: with a dark soul. What do you think you're gonna

731
00:36:21,200 --> 00:36:27,480
Speaker 7: engender when you're seen that kind of it's it's angry

732
00:36:27,520 --> 00:36:31,560
Speaker 7: and it's sickening. And man, oh man, thank god he

733
00:36:31,680 --> 00:36:32,360
Speaker 7: was safe again.

734
00:36:33,960 --> 00:36:38,080
Speaker 3: Eric, you are no stranger to a lot of really

735
00:36:38,640 --> 00:36:42,040
Speaker 3: aggressive rhetoric, giving that you're running up in Wisconsin against

736
00:36:42,080 --> 00:36:48,719
Speaker 3: a very entrenched machine democrat in Tammy Baldwin. Tell us

737
00:36:48,760 --> 00:36:51,960
Speaker 3: the latest and how that race is going. You know,

738
00:36:52,080 --> 00:36:55,560
Speaker 3: there is a scenario where Senate control could hinge on

739
00:36:55,600 --> 00:36:58,760
Speaker 3: whether you're able to win or not. What's the latest

740
00:36:58,760 --> 00:37:01,279
Speaker 3: that we can we can look at from Wisconsin.

741
00:37:03,280 --> 00:37:07,640
Speaker 7: Look, Wisconsin's the key battleground state. That's why so much

742
00:37:07,680 --> 00:37:11,040
Speaker 7: money is being spent here in both President Trump and

743
00:37:11,400 --> 00:37:14,040
Speaker 7: Kamala Harris. I'm going up against one of the most

744
00:37:14,160 --> 00:37:19,000
Speaker 7: radicals progressive left. You know, supports boys pete competing in

745
00:37:19,080 --> 00:37:23,160
Speaker 7: girls sports. Gave all our taxpayer money to a transgender

746
00:37:23,200 --> 00:37:26,560
Speaker 7: clinic that does that with kids, that doesn't notify parents.

747
00:37:26,600 --> 00:37:29,160
Speaker 7: I mean that's where she is open the southern borders.

748
00:37:29,600 --> 00:37:32,839
Speaker 7: So the race is going well, I'm in a jump

749
00:37:32,920 --> 00:37:37,280
Speaker 7: ball race a couple points down. I think I'm better

750
00:37:37,280 --> 00:37:41,640
Speaker 7: positioned other than Tim Sheehey and obviously West Virginia is over,

751
00:37:41,760 --> 00:37:45,759
Speaker 7: but than any other Senate candidates. But man, are they

752
00:37:45,800 --> 00:37:49,560
Speaker 7: spending money on me. They're making up one lie after another.

753
00:37:50,120 --> 00:37:53,440
Speaker 7: I think I've had more money spent by Chuck Schumer

754
00:37:53,600 --> 00:37:57,640
Speaker 7: and all the Democrat special interest groups just hammering me,

755
00:37:57,800 --> 00:38:00,960
Speaker 7: and literally everything is a lie. She has nothing to

756
00:38:01,080 --> 00:38:06,200
Speaker 7: run on, but you know, the momentum is in my direction.

757
00:38:06,280 --> 00:38:08,440
Speaker 7: But look, I need everybody's help. You know, if you

758
00:38:08,440 --> 00:38:11,239
Speaker 7: can pitch in a few dollars, go to Erichovedy dot

759
00:38:11,239 --> 00:38:16,360
Speaker 7: com because these races are ungodly expensive and they just

760
00:38:16,480 --> 00:38:19,040
Speaker 7: keep pouring attack money and that's how they win.

761
00:38:19,280 --> 00:38:20,360
Speaker 2: And she won't even debate.

762
00:38:20,560 --> 00:38:22,960
Speaker 7: She's such a chicken. I'm getting one debate at the

763
00:38:23,080 --> 00:38:25,839
Speaker 7: end of the campaign when typically you get three to four,

764
00:38:26,160 --> 00:38:29,040
Speaker 7: and we already would have had at least two. So

765
00:38:29,400 --> 00:38:33,560
Speaker 7: that's what I'm running against, an extreme progressive lefty, and

766
00:38:33,680 --> 00:38:35,040
Speaker 7: I plan to win this race.

767
00:38:35,680 --> 00:38:38,759
Speaker 5: You're a lifelong resident of Madison City. I was just

768
00:38:38,880 --> 00:38:43,960
Speaker 5: visiting fantastic city. There anyone listening to your accent. I

769
00:38:44,040 --> 00:38:46,440
Speaker 5: know because I'm married to a girl from the Midwest,

770
00:38:46,520 --> 00:38:48,720
Speaker 5: And believe it or not, you can tell where someone's

771
00:38:48,840 --> 00:38:52,080
Speaker 5: raised often by how they talk. You could probably tell

772
00:38:52,120 --> 00:38:54,680
Speaker 5: that you're from Wisconsin and you've spent most of your

773
00:38:54,800 --> 00:38:57,600
Speaker 5: life there. It's a sign, I think of how desperate

774
00:38:57,640 --> 00:39:00,799
Speaker 5: they are that they're trying to claim that you are

775
00:39:00,840 --> 00:39:04,880
Speaker 5: not a native of Wisconsin, that you don't still live there.

776
00:39:05,440 --> 00:39:09,320
Speaker 5: What does that attack tell you? And what are people

777
00:39:09,360 --> 00:39:10,960
Speaker 5: saying when they see those attacks.

778
00:39:13,719 --> 00:39:14,600
Speaker 2: It's desperation.

779
00:39:15,160 --> 00:39:18,920
Speaker 7: Look, I'm a fourth generation Wisconsinite, born here, raised here,

780
00:39:20,000 --> 00:39:23,840
Speaker 7: went to the University of Wisconsin. I'm standing in my

781
00:39:24,320 --> 00:39:30,120
Speaker 7: company building, the Hubby Building off the Square, where I

782
00:39:30,120 --> 00:39:33,600
Speaker 7: have my development company, where we do have development projects

783
00:39:33,640 --> 00:39:36,440
Speaker 7: all over the state. But because I've been successful and

784
00:39:36,480 --> 00:39:39,319
Speaker 7: I have owned businesses elsewhere, they try to attach me

785
00:39:39,360 --> 00:39:43,319
Speaker 7: to California because I own a bank that operates in California.

786
00:39:43,320 --> 00:39:45,120
Speaker 7: It used to be headquartered there. I moved at the

787
00:39:45,160 --> 00:39:48,040
Speaker 7: Salt Lake because California is such a pain to do

788
00:39:48,120 --> 00:39:51,719
Speaker 7: business within. But that's what they're down to, trying to

789
00:39:51,760 --> 00:39:53,440
Speaker 7: say that I'm not a wisconsinite.

790
00:39:53,480 --> 00:39:54,040
Speaker 2: It's a joke.

791
00:39:54,600 --> 00:39:57,800
Speaker 7: I live here, I vote here, I pay my income

792
00:39:57,880 --> 00:40:00,440
Speaker 7: taxes here. But they're trying to spend that that story.

793
00:40:00,480 --> 00:40:03,720
Speaker 7: But man, they have so many other lies. It's crazy

794
00:40:04,920 --> 00:40:08,760
Speaker 7: taking things out of context a few words and extrapolating

795
00:40:08,800 --> 00:40:12,319
Speaker 7: a totally different meaning or just outright line. I just

796
00:40:12,360 --> 00:40:15,960
Speaker 7: came from getting the trying to get the investment from

797
00:40:16,000 --> 00:40:20,080
Speaker 7: the Wisconsin Police Association, and Senator Baldwin actually said I

798
00:40:20,160 --> 00:40:23,640
Speaker 7: was opposed to this ventanyl bill by Tim Scott, and

799
00:40:23,920 --> 00:40:26,480
Speaker 7: Tim Scott and I are buddies. I totally support it.

800
00:40:26,560 --> 00:40:28,640
Speaker 7: So she totally lied about that, and she's trying to

801
00:40:28,680 --> 00:40:32,280
Speaker 7: take credit that it's her bill when Tim Scott wrote

802
00:40:32,280 --> 00:40:35,160
Speaker 7: it and he said he's never even talked to Tammy Baldwin.

803
00:40:35,400 --> 00:40:38,000
Speaker 7: She jumped on that bill as like the fortieth senator

804
00:40:38,280 --> 00:40:42,480
Speaker 7: after I started criticizing her for doing nothing on fentanyl.

805
00:40:42,880 --> 00:40:45,240
Speaker 2: That's what they're left with. They have nothing.

806
00:40:46,760 --> 00:40:49,320
Speaker 3: Speaking of Eric Hovedy, he's running in Wisconsin for a

807
00:40:49,360 --> 00:40:50,680
Speaker 3: Senate seat against Tammy Baldwin.

808
00:40:50,760 --> 00:40:51,439
Speaker 4: Critical race.

809
00:40:52,280 --> 00:40:56,080
Speaker 3: You know the Wisconsin battleground as well as anybody. Eric,

810
00:40:56,360 --> 00:41:00,840
Speaker 3: You're eating, sleeping, breathing, the fight for wiscon right now,

811
00:41:01,360 --> 00:41:04,000
Speaker 3: how do you think President Trump is looking and what's

812
00:41:04,040 --> 00:41:08,560
Speaker 3: the critical message to hammer home for that last whatever

813
00:41:08,600 --> 00:41:12,239
Speaker 3: it is, that last fifty one hundred thousand voters that

814
00:41:12,280 --> 00:41:13,920
Speaker 3: will make the difference in your state.

815
00:41:16,480 --> 00:41:21,320
Speaker 7: Look, my guess is President Trump is winning. Wisconsin always

816
00:41:21,480 --> 00:41:25,239
Speaker 7: underpolls Trump more than any other state. You can see

817
00:41:25,239 --> 00:41:27,839
Speaker 7: it in sixteen when he is supposed to lose by

818
00:41:27,920 --> 00:41:30,759
Speaker 7: six points, and in twenty when he lost by less

819
00:41:30,760 --> 00:41:33,000
Speaker 7: than a percent, he is supposed to lose by almost

820
00:41:33,040 --> 00:41:36,919
Speaker 7: seven percent. So I think President Trump, who's they say,

821
00:41:37,160 --> 00:41:40,600
Speaker 7: according to the polls tied. I think he's winning right now.

822
00:41:40,680 --> 00:41:43,640
Speaker 7: I'm pretty sure about that. But the big issue is

823
00:41:44,040 --> 00:41:48,239
Speaker 7: he has to stay on message. Just hammer the economy,

824
00:41:48,680 --> 00:41:53,719
Speaker 7: Hammer the consequences of our open border, hammer all how crazy,

825
00:41:53,920 --> 00:41:58,839
Speaker 7: Kamala Harris, just like I'm addressing Senator Baldwin. I mean,

826
00:41:58,880 --> 00:42:02,680
Speaker 7: this is the progressive socialist left, and I'm telling you, folks,

827
00:42:03,080 --> 00:42:05,840
Speaker 7: I'm in this race for one reason. I love my

828
00:42:05,960 --> 00:42:10,360
Speaker 7: country and we're losing our country. Everybody has to get involved.

829
00:42:10,719 --> 00:42:14,440
Speaker 7: I can't be successful without your help. I need your

830
00:42:14,440 --> 00:42:17,399
Speaker 7: financial help. I need you telling your friends, I need

831
00:42:17,400 --> 00:42:19,360
Speaker 7: you doing whatever you can. If you live in the

832
00:42:19,360 --> 00:42:22,120
Speaker 7: state of Wisconsin or even outside the state. I'm sure

833
00:42:22,120 --> 00:42:25,600
Speaker 7: you know people in Wisconsin. So we need to win

834
00:42:26,280 --> 00:42:28,480
Speaker 7: at the president level. We need to take back the

835
00:42:28,600 --> 00:42:32,360
Speaker 7: US Senate, and we need to restore this country because

836
00:42:32,400 --> 00:42:36,080
Speaker 7: where they've taken this country and where they plan to

837
00:42:36,120 --> 00:42:40,320
Speaker 7: take it, we won't even recognize it anymore. So Look,

838
00:42:40,440 --> 00:42:42,840
Speaker 7: I feel good, but we got to stay on message

839
00:42:43,080 --> 00:42:46,520
Speaker 7: and just hammer them for what they've done because they've

840
00:42:46,560 --> 00:42:48,880
Speaker 7: sent this country in a very bad path.

841
00:42:49,640 --> 00:42:53,280
Speaker 5: Much less seriously, we're talking to, hopefully the next Senator

842
00:42:53,320 --> 00:42:56,520
Speaker 5: from Wisconsin, Eric Hovedy. I had an amazing time. I

843
00:42:56,560 --> 00:42:59,680
Speaker 5: had my whole family up. We went to the Wisconsin

844
00:42:59,719 --> 00:43:02,680
Speaker 5: Albama game. I'd never been to Camp Randall. Met a

845
00:43:02,680 --> 00:43:06,040
Speaker 5: lot of awesome Wisconsin and Alabama fans all day long.

846
00:43:06,480 --> 00:43:07,760
Speaker 2: I know you went to the game.

847
00:43:07,920 --> 00:43:11,480
Speaker 5: I know you tailgated, you graduated from the University of Wisconsin.

848
00:43:11,520 --> 00:43:12,920
Speaker 2: I know you've been to a lot of games. It

849
00:43:12,960 --> 00:43:13,959
Speaker 2: was a perfect day.

850
00:43:14,600 --> 00:43:19,040
Speaker 5: What was your take from a pretty extraordinary experience for

851
00:43:19,080 --> 00:43:21,160
Speaker 5: anybody who got to go to that game on Saturday.

852
00:43:23,280 --> 00:43:25,680
Speaker 7: Look, Camp Randall's always known as one of the coolest

853
00:43:25,719 --> 00:43:28,960
Speaker 7: places to go to a football game. It's not surrounded

854
00:43:29,040 --> 00:43:32,360
Speaker 7: like the Big House in Michigan by parking lots, you

855
00:43:32,480 --> 00:43:36,280
Speaker 7: have streets, bars, it's just a cool spot. The people

856
00:43:36,320 --> 00:43:40,160
Speaker 7: are very friendly. It's like Lambeau always voted, you know,

857
00:43:40,239 --> 00:43:44,040
Speaker 7: the number one pro football place to go watch a game,

858
00:43:44,719 --> 00:43:47,600
Speaker 7: stadium to watch a game. So it was a great day.

859
00:43:47,640 --> 00:43:50,880
Speaker 7: It was hot for us, but you know, it was

860
00:43:51,000 --> 00:43:54,120
Speaker 7: unfortunate the Badgers didn't play that well. We made two

861
00:43:54,200 --> 00:44:01,040
Speaker 7: critical turnovers, a couple just devastating penalties, and Frank Alabama

862
00:44:01,080 --> 00:44:04,680
Speaker 7: just had too much speed at their wide receiver matched up,

863
00:44:04,840 --> 00:44:07,840
Speaker 7: so it didn't turn into a pretty game. It should

864
00:44:07,840 --> 00:44:11,520
Speaker 7: have been a much tighter game, but some critical mistakes.

865
00:44:11,560 --> 00:44:12,440
Speaker 1: But look, I.

866
00:44:12,480 --> 00:44:16,960
Speaker 7: Always love going to Badger games. I've had season tickets.

867
00:44:17,080 --> 00:44:19,560
Speaker 7: My dad bought him in the sixties. I bought him

868
00:44:19,560 --> 00:44:22,839
Speaker 7: from my dad in nineteen ninety two, so it's part

869
00:44:22,840 --> 00:44:25,120
Speaker 7: of a big part of my life. Fortunately for me,

870
00:44:25,400 --> 00:44:28,040
Speaker 7: I was up at the Packer game and they pulled

871
00:44:28,080 --> 00:44:31,920
Speaker 7: off a victory with a backup quarterback who's only been

872
00:44:31,960 --> 00:44:34,880
Speaker 7: on our roster for three weeks. So that was a

873
00:44:34,920 --> 00:44:38,680
Speaker 7: little ointment for the pain of the Badger loss.

874
00:44:39,160 --> 00:44:40,319
Speaker 2: No doubt, that was the heck of a win.

875
00:44:40,400 --> 00:44:43,479
Speaker 5: Malik Willis starting quarterback there had barely been in Green

876
00:44:43,520 --> 00:44:47,160
Speaker 5: Bay at all. Got to win over Unfortunately, because I

877
00:44:47,239 --> 00:44:50,799
Speaker 5: bet against it, got to win there. I did not

878
00:44:50,920 --> 00:44:54,120
Speaker 5: think that they'd beat the Colts. We really appreciate you

879
00:44:54,200 --> 00:44:56,120
Speaker 5: one more time. On your way out, can you give

880
00:44:56,280 --> 00:44:59,279
Speaker 5: people the web address of where they could go to

881
00:44:59,360 --> 00:45:01,200
Speaker 5: help flip the Senate and support you.

882
00:45:03,360 --> 00:45:07,239
Speaker 7: Thank you, Eric E. R I C huv d h

883
00:45:07,560 --> 00:45:13,279
Speaker 7: O v d E dot com. I really appreciate everybody's

884
00:45:13,320 --> 00:45:14,799
Speaker 7: support and financial help.

885
00:45:14,880 --> 00:45:18,399
Speaker 3: Thank you, Eric Hovedy. Everybody help him out. He can

886
00:45:18,520 --> 00:45:21,600
Speaker 3: win that seat if you rally behind him. Wisconsinites who

887
00:45:21,600 --> 00:45:23,480
Speaker 3: are listening, there's a lot of you. W I s

888
00:45:23,640 --> 00:45:26,080
Speaker 3: n WE number one in that market. You know, no

889
00:45:26,160 --> 00:45:30,879
Speaker 3: big deal. Uh So please great station, do what you can.

890
00:45:31,040 --> 00:45:31,840
Speaker 4: Fantastic station.
