1 00:00:00,520 --> 00:00:05,080 Speaker 1: Welcome. This is Clan Bucks Countdown toe Election Day podcast, 2 00:00:07,640 --> 00:00:11,240 Speaker 1: candidates coverage and analysis do you won't get anywhere else, 3 00:00:11,480 --> 00:00:15,400 Speaker 1: bringing you new intel each week. Let's go. We are 4 00:00:15,480 --> 00:00:19,680 Speaker 1: joined now by a man who is an absolute battle 5 00:00:19,760 --> 00:00:23,799 Speaker 1: and he needs all of your support to ensure that 6 00:00:23,840 --> 00:00:27,440 Speaker 1: he is the next Senator from the great state of Pennsylvania. 7 00:00:27,560 --> 00:00:31,240 Speaker 1: He is doctor Oz. Doctor Oz. We've been buck and 8 00:00:31,280 --> 00:00:33,360 Speaker 1: eye rooting for you, trying to help as much as 9 00:00:33,360 --> 00:00:35,720 Speaker 1: we can as we come down the stretch run here. 10 00:00:36,240 --> 00:00:39,800 Speaker 1: John Fetterman is maybe the worst candidate that has been 11 00:00:39,800 --> 00:00:43,360 Speaker 1: nominated by either party in years, and it seems like 12 00:00:43,800 --> 00:00:46,159 Speaker 1: people are starting to take note of it. What are 13 00:00:46,200 --> 00:00:49,160 Speaker 1: you seeing on the ground in Pennsylvania twenty nine days 14 00:00:49,159 --> 00:00:52,479 Speaker 1: out from the election? Well, it was called the miracle 15 00:00:52,600 --> 00:00:55,360 Speaker 1: comeback this weekend, but it's exactly what we're seeing, folks 16 00:00:55,360 --> 00:00:59,440 Speaker 1: whare waking up. I always knew that Pennsylvanians were two 17 00:00:59,480 --> 00:01:03,080 Speaker 1: wives and offul to just reflexively vote without doing their homework. 18 00:01:03,080 --> 00:01:04,680 Speaker 1: And they're starting to do their homework and they do 19 00:01:04,760 --> 00:01:07,920 Speaker 1: not like what they're finding out about John Setterman. And 20 00:01:08,000 --> 00:01:09,640 Speaker 1: just to put this all in contact, you might say, well, 21 00:01:09,640 --> 00:01:11,839 Speaker 1: how does it happen. I mean, the Democrats didn't even 22 00:01:11,840 --> 00:01:14,920 Speaker 1: want him to be their nominee. It's money. He has 23 00:01:15,000 --> 00:01:18,240 Speaker 1: so much money that he basically built a story around 24 00:01:18,319 --> 00:01:21,440 Speaker 1: himself with commercials and trick people in not thinking he's 25 00:01:21,480 --> 00:01:24,440 Speaker 1: something that he's not. And it becomes that much harder 26 00:01:24,480 --> 00:01:26,880 Speaker 1: to prove it because he never leaves his home and 27 00:01:27,080 --> 00:01:29,759 Speaker 1: does much right. He won't answer questions on the campaign 28 00:01:29,800 --> 00:01:33,160 Speaker 1: trail from voters or from reporters. He won't talk to me. 29 00:01:33,240 --> 00:01:35,280 Speaker 1: He stalled the debate to the last second. He only 30 00:01:35,280 --> 00:01:37,640 Speaker 1: agreed to us for shortened debate because he got so 31 00:01:37,720 --> 00:01:41,280 Speaker 1: much pressure from everybody. But here's the basic story. This 32 00:01:41,400 --> 00:01:44,160 Speaker 1: race should matter to everyone, not only because it's going 33 00:01:44,160 --> 00:01:47,680 Speaker 1: to determine control of the United States Senate, but because 34 00:01:47,800 --> 00:01:51,280 Speaker 1: we're doing a social experiment with John Fetterman. He's throwing 35 00:01:51,320 --> 00:01:55,320 Speaker 1: out every far left liberal idea that could be proclaimed, 36 00:01:55,840 --> 00:01:58,880 Speaker 1: doesn't care about the repercussions of what he's saying, and 37 00:01:58,960 --> 00:02:01,000 Speaker 1: believes that it's where they us the country should go. 38 00:02:01,040 --> 00:02:04,400 Speaker 1: So he's basically an AOC on growth or mones steroids. 39 00:02:05,200 --> 00:02:07,880 Speaker 1: But the thing we see saying are really harmful and dangerous. 40 00:02:07,880 --> 00:02:10,360 Speaker 1: I don't give you just a couple examples. He believes 41 00:02:10,400 --> 00:02:13,160 Speaker 1: that we should release one third of all prisoners, that 42 00:02:13,360 --> 00:02:18,040 Speaker 1: we should abolish lifetime sentences for convicted murderers. He takes 43 00:02:18,040 --> 00:02:21,600 Speaker 1: a strong stance about defunding the police. He wants cash 44 00:02:21,680 --> 00:02:25,200 Speaker 1: less bail. These are all things that we have witnessed 45 00:02:25,200 --> 00:02:27,560 Speaker 1: in other areas to be problematic. I'll go past that. 46 00:02:27,800 --> 00:02:30,799 Speaker 1: He wants to decriminalize all drugs, an open border so 47 00:02:30,919 --> 00:02:33,720 Speaker 1: fentonyl can flow in, and he wants heroin injection sites. 48 00:02:33,919 --> 00:02:36,200 Speaker 1: When that was done an oregan you had, which just 49 00:02:36,320 --> 00:02:38,640 Speaker 1: two years ago, he endorsed it strongly. They saw a 50 00:02:38,720 --> 00:02:43,160 Speaker 1: fifty percent increase in homicides and deaths from overdoses. So 51 00:02:43,400 --> 00:02:46,600 Speaker 1: the results of what he's doing are evidently bad. We're 52 00:02:46,639 --> 00:02:49,080 Speaker 1: witnessing them around the country. We don't want to scale 53 00:02:49,120 --> 00:02:51,000 Speaker 1: that up to a national level. And as a senator 54 00:02:51,040 --> 00:02:53,000 Speaker 1: who says, first thing I want to do is bust 55 00:02:53,000 --> 00:02:57,280 Speaker 1: the filibuster and start passing national laws mandating these things 56 00:02:57,320 --> 00:03:01,480 Speaker 1: in your community. Doctor Oz, you know we've talked here 57 00:03:01,520 --> 00:03:06,360 Speaker 1: about Philadelphia because it's shocking when you see that it 58 00:03:06,400 --> 00:03:10,080 Speaker 1: had its all time murder record last year and is 59 00:03:10,240 --> 00:03:12,520 Speaker 1: essentially on pace for the same or perhaps even a 60 00:03:12,600 --> 00:03:14,840 Speaker 1: higher number this year. It's it's staying right at that 61 00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:19,440 Speaker 1: all time peak level Pennsylvania statewide though, because obviously you're 62 00:03:19,520 --> 00:03:21,600 Speaker 1: running for the whole state of Pennsylvania to support you. 63 00:03:22,000 --> 00:03:25,200 Speaker 1: What has the crime situation been like, I mean, what 64 00:03:25,520 --> 00:03:28,840 Speaker 1: kind of decay? Obviously, Pittsburgh and other cities, what have 65 00:03:28,919 --> 00:03:34,239 Speaker 1: they seen. Lawlessness is rising and people feel unsafe in Pittsburgh, 66 00:03:34,440 --> 00:03:38,560 Speaker 1: which is a beautiful Midwestern city, Actually they don't feel 67 00:03:38,560 --> 00:03:40,680 Speaker 1: like they will walk through the streets anymore, an Erie. 68 00:03:40,720 --> 00:03:43,720 Speaker 1: I hear this again, people who no matter what the 69 00:03:43,720 --> 00:03:46,480 Speaker 1: economic issues were, used to feel it that you get around, 70 00:03:46,520 --> 00:03:49,240 Speaker 1: they don't feel safe anymore. It's same up in Scranton. 71 00:03:49,320 --> 00:03:52,920 Speaker 1: I hear it in Allantown, and you know and reading. 72 00:03:53,000 --> 00:03:55,400 Speaker 1: So we have got to get control of this now. 73 00:03:55,440 --> 00:03:58,560 Speaker 1: The reason that the State Fraternal Order of Police and 74 00:03:58,720 --> 00:04:02,240 Speaker 1: the Philadelphia Police and the state troopers who guard my opponent, 75 00:04:02,280 --> 00:04:05,440 Speaker 1: by the ways, Lieutenant Governor, they endorse me is because 76 00:04:05,760 --> 00:04:08,920 Speaker 1: they know that no one has their back. John Federman 77 00:04:08,960 --> 00:04:11,080 Speaker 1: has been undermining them. And this is a message that 78 00:04:11,120 --> 00:04:14,360 Speaker 1: everyone should hear clearly. If we tell police who are 79 00:04:14,440 --> 00:04:17,280 Speaker 1: trying their best as they run towards crises to keep 80 00:04:17,320 --> 00:04:20,240 Speaker 1: people safe. That we don't respect them, want them, or 81 00:04:20,320 --> 00:04:22,760 Speaker 1: desire their help, They're not going to want to help. 82 00:04:22,800 --> 00:04:26,440 Speaker 1: We cannot sew the spots anymore. And so across the 83 00:04:26,480 --> 00:04:29,760 Speaker 1: state we're looking at police forces who are dramatically understaffed. 84 00:04:29,760 --> 00:04:31,960 Speaker 1: They have the money, they have no one to hire, 85 00:04:32,160 --> 00:04:35,039 Speaker 1: and they're simple solutions that can help. One is of course, 86 00:04:35,240 --> 00:04:38,120 Speaker 1: re established confidence that people who are trying to help 87 00:04:38,160 --> 00:04:41,120 Speaker 1: are actually doing their best, and understand that no one's perfect. 88 00:04:41,360 --> 00:04:44,440 Speaker 1: We can do things with community policing, and everyone agrees 89 00:04:44,480 --> 00:04:46,640 Speaker 1: we need to have cameras on best and there are 90 00:04:46,640 --> 00:04:48,599 Speaker 1: things that all of us can agree make sense. But 91 00:04:48,920 --> 00:04:52,400 Speaker 1: defunding the police, taking away the rules that have allowed 92 00:04:52,440 --> 00:04:55,000 Speaker 1: us to live in harmony as not right. By the way, 93 00:04:55,200 --> 00:04:57,359 Speaker 1: doctor oz dot com is our website. Please come and 94 00:04:57,360 --> 00:04:59,920 Speaker 1: can support me if you agree. But what Federman is doing, 95 00:05:00,200 --> 00:05:03,120 Speaker 1: this is critical to understand, is taken in huge amounts 96 00:05:03,160 --> 00:05:06,440 Speaker 1: of money from a Democratic Party, primarily from the coast California, 97 00:05:06,440 --> 00:05:08,800 Speaker 1: New York. It's outside money. They don't care about him, 98 00:05:08,800 --> 00:05:10,960 Speaker 1: they don't even know about him. They just want the 99 00:05:11,040 --> 00:05:13,200 Speaker 1: fifty first Senate seat. And I say no, vote for 100 00:05:13,240 --> 00:05:16,679 Speaker 1: the person who's the individual understand your values, will stand 101 00:05:16,720 --> 00:05:19,160 Speaker 1: up and do what's right for America in the face 102 00:05:19,200 --> 00:05:21,200 Speaker 1: of difficulty. I'm not going to sit there and just 103 00:05:21,279 --> 00:05:24,040 Speaker 1: vote one way because someone told me to. John Fedaman 104 00:05:24,160 --> 00:05:26,440 Speaker 1: is so far left, he's stuck there in a rut 105 00:05:26,440 --> 00:05:29,000 Speaker 1: he can't get out. They won't face the ramifications, and 106 00:05:29,040 --> 00:05:33,240 Speaker 1: the economic issues are shocking to me. He pushed Biden 107 00:05:33,360 --> 00:05:36,720 Speaker 1: to spend more. He argued that if that, if you 108 00:05:36,800 --> 00:05:39,240 Speaker 1: like Joe Manchin, don't vote for me because he's too moderate. 109 00:05:39,320 --> 00:05:42,360 Speaker 1: He's got his own party. He argues to raise taxes 110 00:05:42,360 --> 00:05:44,400 Speaker 1: and every job he has, yet he hasn't paid his 111 00:05:44,400 --> 00:05:48,200 Speaker 1: old taxes sixty seven times. I mean, the hypocrisies rank 112 00:05:48,520 --> 00:05:50,800 Speaker 1: these are the kinds of observations as people here about 113 00:05:50,839 --> 00:05:52,599 Speaker 1: him eat him. And that doesn't sound good to me. 114 00:05:52,880 --> 00:05:55,680 Speaker 1: And that's why we will prevail on novembery days. His 115 00:05:55,800 --> 00:05:58,520 Speaker 1: parents funded his life. For people out there who don't know, 116 00:05:58,839 --> 00:06:01,960 Speaker 1: throughout his entire thirties and forties, he's never had a 117 00:06:02,080 --> 00:06:05,120 Speaker 1: real job. And for everybody out there who's still angry 118 00:06:05,160 --> 00:06:07,920 Speaker 1: that Joe Biden was able to run a campaign for 119 00:06:08,000 --> 00:06:12,400 Speaker 1: president from his basement, Doctor Oz, you well know John 120 00:06:12,400 --> 00:06:16,520 Speaker 1: Fetterman is actually doing that even more so, and he 121 00:06:16,560 --> 00:06:21,600 Speaker 1: has major health conditions. I believe he has only agreed 122 00:06:21,640 --> 00:06:24,680 Speaker 1: to debate you once, and it's not till late October, 123 00:06:25,080 --> 00:06:28,520 Speaker 1: and it's with closed captioning. The job of a senator 124 00:06:28,720 --> 00:06:31,839 Speaker 1: is to talk and advocate for the people of his state. 125 00:06:31,920 --> 00:06:36,080 Speaker 1: That's literally the job. He doesn't seem capable physically. In 126 00:06:36,120 --> 00:06:39,279 Speaker 1: addition to all of the awful political ideas he has, 127 00:06:39,640 --> 00:06:43,440 Speaker 1: but physically he doesn't even seem up to this job. Well, 128 00:06:43,440 --> 00:06:46,520 Speaker 1: we're never gonna know because he won't release his medical records, 129 00:06:46,520 --> 00:06:49,280 Speaker 1: even though everybody, the New York Times, you know, the 130 00:06:49,360 --> 00:06:52,280 Speaker 1: last a Journal, the Pittsburgh Post Gazette, everyone is saying. 131 00:06:52,560 --> 00:06:54,880 Speaker 1: You know, you tell people what is going on in 132 00:06:54,880 --> 00:06:57,719 Speaker 1: your life, and the answer is always the same nothing. 133 00:06:57,800 --> 00:07:00,440 Speaker 1: It's a black hole. You get no information back. You 134 00:07:00,440 --> 00:07:04,400 Speaker 1: ask logical questions, and the voters deserve to know if 135 00:07:04,440 --> 00:07:06,640 Speaker 1: you're healthy, they deserve to know what happened because he 136 00:07:06,680 --> 00:07:09,400 Speaker 1: lied about his initial illness is you know, he has 137 00:07:09,440 --> 00:07:11,760 Speaker 1: heart I have to remend this compassion for him. This 138 00:07:11,840 --> 00:07:14,960 Speaker 1: is a bad problem, heart failure, irregular heartbeats, stroke. He's 139 00:07:15,000 --> 00:07:17,560 Speaker 1: fought back from a lot, and you gotta hand it 140 00:07:17,600 --> 00:07:20,000 Speaker 1: to him on that, and I don't want him hurt 141 00:07:20,040 --> 00:07:23,320 Speaker 1: by this, but the voters need to know, and it's 142 00:07:23,360 --> 00:07:25,760 Speaker 1: about them, not in me. You're him. Same for the debate. 143 00:07:25,920 --> 00:07:28,160 Speaker 1: If you're going to let me or ask you a 144 00:07:28,160 --> 00:07:31,000 Speaker 1: couple of questions for the first time anyone can ask 145 00:07:31,040 --> 00:07:33,720 Speaker 1: you questions about these far left radical positions, at least 146 00:07:33,760 --> 00:07:36,360 Speaker 1: that it be a full debate. He's foreshortened it this 147 00:07:36,520 --> 00:07:39,720 Speaker 1: close capturting, remember, allows him to go much slower. He 148 00:07:39,760 --> 00:07:42,040 Speaker 1: doesn't have to answer the questions quickly. He can very 149 00:07:42,080 --> 00:07:45,880 Speaker 1: carefully read the words, process the words, take his time, 150 00:07:46,360 --> 00:07:48,720 Speaker 1: think through his answer, and then give probably a couple 151 00:07:48,760 --> 00:07:51,320 Speaker 1: of rehearsed answers. If I ask three questions, I'll be lucky. 152 00:07:51,480 --> 00:07:53,920 Speaker 1: And I'm arguing this is a debate where you prove 153 00:07:54,040 --> 00:07:56,080 Speaker 1: you can be a US senator. Path to me, whose 154 00:07:56,160 --> 00:08:00,000 Speaker 1: job we're seeking to fill. Has done several press conferences now, 155 00:08:00,200 --> 00:08:04,200 Speaker 1: which is uncommon, hammering on fetterment, on the reality of 156 00:08:04,200 --> 00:08:07,320 Speaker 1: what you just stated. The greatest deliberative body in the country, 157 00:08:07,360 --> 00:08:09,800 Speaker 1: the United States Senate, deserves to have people who are 158 00:08:09,880 --> 00:08:12,120 Speaker 1: able bodied and able to perform. You can do it 159 00:08:12,160 --> 00:08:14,160 Speaker 1: if you've had a stroke. There's no reason why medical 160 00:08:14,200 --> 00:08:17,280 Speaker 1: illnesses should events you from doing it, but sometimes they can. 161 00:08:17,560 --> 00:08:19,920 Speaker 1: So you have to actually establish to the voters what 162 00:08:20,000 --> 00:08:22,680 Speaker 1: you're able to do. He's hiding and what's wrong? And 163 00:08:22,720 --> 00:08:25,640 Speaker 1: I'm pushing the press on this a lot. Is everybody, 164 00:08:25,920 --> 00:08:28,880 Speaker 1: including the press, should be asking him why what are 165 00:08:28,920 --> 00:08:31,800 Speaker 1: you hiding? What's going on that's preventing you from opening 166 00:08:31,840 --> 00:08:34,840 Speaker 1: up the voters and allowing us to understand. Oh, everybody 167 00:08:34,840 --> 00:08:36,719 Speaker 1: who wants to vote, what's really going on? If you 168 00:08:36,800 --> 00:08:39,360 Speaker 1: truly is as healthy as you say you are, then 169 00:08:39,400 --> 00:08:41,880 Speaker 1: debate me multiple times and start doing it now so 170 00:08:41,960 --> 00:08:44,839 Speaker 1: there's enough time before the election because the absentee ballanced 171 00:08:44,840 --> 00:08:47,600 Speaker 1: the vote emailed. But if you're lying to us, that 172 00:08:47,640 --> 00:08:50,480 Speaker 1: should be a problem that people hold you accountable for 173 00:08:50,600 --> 00:08:54,280 Speaker 1: instead of hiding behind I mean more than one hundred 174 00:08:54,320 --> 00:08:57,960 Speaker 1: million dollars of advertising against me, telling all kinds of tales, 175 00:08:58,000 --> 00:08:59,839 Speaker 1: most of it they know is false, but they will 176 00:09:00,120 --> 00:09:01,880 Speaker 1: run those ads to protect him, And I'm going to 177 00:09:01,960 --> 00:09:03,640 Speaker 1: hit him back hard again. That's why, please, if you 178 00:09:03,679 --> 00:09:06,080 Speaker 1: bother go to doctors dot com. But we're putting a 179 00:09:06,120 --> 00:09:07,640 Speaker 1: ton of money into this race to make sure we 180 00:09:07,720 --> 00:09:10,360 Speaker 1: tell the truth about me more than he lies. About 181 00:09:10,400 --> 00:09:12,839 Speaker 1: me and doctor Oz. We're speaking of doctor methm and 182 00:09:12,880 --> 00:09:16,040 Speaker 1: Oz running in Pennsylvania. We've got listeners. We appreciate all 183 00:09:16,040 --> 00:09:18,920 Speaker 1: of you so much, all across that state. And you're 184 00:09:18,920 --> 00:09:21,200 Speaker 1: going need to come out and show up for doctor 185 00:09:21,200 --> 00:09:22,960 Speaker 1: Oz and get your friends a show for doctor Oz 186 00:09:22,960 --> 00:09:25,760 Speaker 1: because this is going to be a close Senate race. 187 00:09:26,720 --> 00:09:29,719 Speaker 1: How much money is coming into Fetterman. What one fascinating 188 00:09:29,720 --> 00:09:33,960 Speaker 1: phenomenon doctor Oz we've seen in Georgia, for example, is 189 00:09:34,000 --> 00:09:41,040 Speaker 1: that Stacey Abrams is the Georgia gubernatorial candidate of choice 190 00:09:41,480 --> 00:09:45,120 Speaker 1: for New York and California. Millions and millions of dollars 191 00:09:45,160 --> 00:09:48,720 Speaker 1: pouring in for Stacy Abrams, and it's for people who 192 00:09:48,760 --> 00:09:51,400 Speaker 1: don't live in that state. What's going on with Fetterman? 193 00:09:51,520 --> 00:09:53,280 Speaker 1: Is he getting a lot of big checks written by 194 00:09:53,559 --> 00:09:57,640 Speaker 1: Manhattan and Santa Monica, same people writing sex to him. Again, 195 00:09:57,679 --> 00:10:00,000 Speaker 1: it's not about the individuals. They don't know anything about 196 00:10:00,120 --> 00:10:02,480 Speaker 1: John Federman. If they knew that his goal was to 197 00:10:02,480 --> 00:10:04,440 Speaker 1: get rid of the filibuster, packed the court and add 198 00:10:04,480 --> 00:10:07,199 Speaker 1: more states, they might not think that's so good because 199 00:10:07,240 --> 00:10:09,239 Speaker 1: that can come back to haunt you when the Republicans 200 00:10:09,280 --> 00:10:12,040 Speaker 1: come into control. But this is all outside money, and 201 00:10:12,080 --> 00:10:14,760 Speaker 1: I'm putting inside money from people who are panicked about him. 202 00:10:14,840 --> 00:10:16,960 Speaker 1: And my story is very simple. You know, my dad 203 00:10:16,960 --> 00:10:19,000 Speaker 1: grew up on a dirt floor. My family has been 204 00:10:19,000 --> 00:10:21,560 Speaker 1: blessed by opportunity. I worked hard with a lot of grit, 205 00:10:21,600 --> 00:10:24,959 Speaker 1: had success. And the goal here is that I trust 206 00:10:25,080 --> 00:10:28,679 Speaker 1: you more than overbearing government. And if you don't think 207 00:10:28,720 --> 00:10:30,640 Speaker 1: that's the right way to go, then gets good. But 208 00:10:30,640 --> 00:10:32,280 Speaker 1: but if you understand what I'm saying and you agree 209 00:10:32,320 --> 00:10:34,920 Speaker 1: with me, then at least hold Democrats accountable for their 210 00:10:34,920 --> 00:10:37,240 Speaker 1: flawed ideas which have driven up energy prices. I mean, 211 00:10:37,600 --> 00:10:40,280 Speaker 1: he calls for acting a stain on Pennsylvania. It's our 212 00:10:40,320 --> 00:10:44,280 Speaker 1: fundamentally important industry and will help the countries stay energy independent. 213 00:10:44,600 --> 00:10:46,840 Speaker 1: He has ideas about crime and on drugs that have 214 00:10:46,920 --> 00:10:50,480 Speaker 1: caused like a raging infection, a problem throughout Pennsylvania. He's 215 00:10:50,520 --> 00:10:53,559 Speaker 1: turning the American dream into a nightmare. And so as 216 00:10:53,600 --> 00:10:56,319 Speaker 1: a doctor, I know what benefits are giving you the 217 00:10:56,360 --> 00:10:58,400 Speaker 1: power back to patients. I want to give the same 218 00:10:58,440 --> 00:11:00,880 Speaker 1: thing back to the people of pennsyl the powder run 219 00:11:00,920 --> 00:11:03,160 Speaker 1: their lives to bring change the heal of divided nation. 220 00:11:03,480 --> 00:11:06,000 Speaker 1: That way will be prosperous and will have peace of mind. 221 00:11:06,240 --> 00:11:08,360 Speaker 1: That's what I stand for. That's a message better mean 222 00:11:08,400 --> 00:11:11,120 Speaker 1: can't go against and he won't. You won't talk policy 223 00:11:11,559 --> 00:11:14,280 Speaker 1: you talked about to comeback. There were a lot of 224 00:11:14,280 --> 00:11:16,840 Speaker 1: people writing you off in the summer. Some of the 225 00:11:16,880 --> 00:11:19,680 Speaker 1: polls got you out to double digits behind. We can 226 00:11:20,040 --> 00:11:22,360 Speaker 1: debate whether or not those who are one hundred percent accurate. 227 00:11:22,400 --> 00:11:26,120 Speaker 1: But he was spending money like a drunken sailor against you. 228 00:11:26,559 --> 00:11:29,560 Speaker 1: Now that you are fighting back, do you believe you've 229 00:11:29,559 --> 00:11:31,800 Speaker 1: caught him? Do you think you're in the lead twenty 230 00:11:31,880 --> 00:11:34,320 Speaker 1: nine days out, Because I'll be honest with you, the 231 00:11:34,400 --> 00:11:38,600 Speaker 1: way his campaign is responding and the desperation that they 232 00:11:38,600 --> 00:11:41,720 Speaker 1: are showing makes me think that they now believe you're 233 00:11:41,760 --> 00:11:45,920 Speaker 1: in the league. We might be. And I'm very clear 234 00:11:45,960 --> 00:11:48,240 Speaker 1: about this with my team because I played sports my 235 00:11:48,280 --> 00:11:50,280 Speaker 1: whole life. As you know, I played football in college. 236 00:11:50,920 --> 00:11:53,560 Speaker 1: Just watch Penn State win. By the way, that rain, rain, 237 00:11:54,520 --> 00:11:56,559 Speaker 1: rain drained, event that my first time I could go 238 00:11:56,559 --> 00:11:58,760 Speaker 1: to a sporting game and along, Yeah, you got criticized 239 00:11:58,800 --> 00:12:01,280 Speaker 1: for the alcohol you were drinking at a tailgate, which 240 00:12:01,360 --> 00:12:03,480 Speaker 1: is I think kind of a sign of how desperate 241 00:12:03,480 --> 00:12:06,839 Speaker 1: that the Feederman campaign might be. Yeah, but he got 242 00:12:06,840 --> 00:12:09,440 Speaker 1: crucified for criticizing me because people said, are you talking 243 00:12:09,480 --> 00:12:11,960 Speaker 1: about a bunch of young undergrads came by try to 244 00:12:11,960 --> 00:12:14,240 Speaker 1: get a picture with me. I had a good bottle, 245 00:12:14,240 --> 00:12:15,800 Speaker 1: a glass of wine in one hand. They had a 246 00:12:15,840 --> 00:12:18,319 Speaker 1: couple of beers. And that's the kind of thing you're 247 00:12:18,320 --> 00:12:20,680 Speaker 1: talking about running for the US Senate. That bothers you 248 00:12:20,720 --> 00:12:24,040 Speaker 1: that I'm enjoying time talking to undergrads about their lives 249 00:12:24,040 --> 00:12:26,600 Speaker 1: and what's going down. But your point is an excellent one. 250 00:12:26,800 --> 00:12:29,360 Speaker 1: But like anyone will play sports, I don't stare at 251 00:12:29,360 --> 00:12:33,080 Speaker 1: the scoreboard. I'm focused on winning every single play that 252 00:12:33,120 --> 00:12:35,640 Speaker 1: I'm involved in. We are doing that over and over again. 253 00:12:35,920 --> 00:12:38,040 Speaker 1: The race is tied. It's a toss up. You know, 254 00:12:38,080 --> 00:12:39,959 Speaker 1: all the big groups should basically agreed on that. That's 255 00:12:40,000 --> 00:12:41,720 Speaker 1: how we should think about it. But I'll tell you, 256 00:12:41,720 --> 00:12:43,640 Speaker 1: even if I was ahead, I'd play like im five 257 00:12:43,679 --> 00:12:45,960 Speaker 1: points down because I'm not going to take my foot 258 00:12:46,000 --> 00:12:48,959 Speaker 1: off the pedal. Is too important a race, too important 259 00:12:48,960 --> 00:12:52,480 Speaker 1: a time in American history, And this is a transformative moment. 260 00:12:52,760 --> 00:12:55,400 Speaker 1: We put the wrong person in the Senate from Pennsylvania. 261 00:12:55,480 --> 00:12:58,599 Speaker 1: Look at the geography. There will be no no Republican 262 00:12:58,640 --> 00:13:02,319 Speaker 1: senators north of North Carolina on the Atlantic seaboard till 263 00:13:02,320 --> 00:13:04,320 Speaker 1: you get the main none and that's not good for 264 00:13:04,360 --> 00:13:07,199 Speaker 1: the country. You want to have mixtures and purple states 265 00:13:07,240 --> 00:13:10,520 Speaker 1: like Pennsylvania are important at the presidential level, but they're 266 00:13:10,520 --> 00:13:14,480 Speaker 1: also important to balance the country. Someone like me, pragmatic, thoughtful, 267 00:13:14,800 --> 00:13:17,120 Speaker 1: understands that there's a middle that I can reach across 268 00:13:17,160 --> 00:13:20,000 Speaker 1: the aisle and deal with the number one question I 269 00:13:20,040 --> 00:13:22,240 Speaker 1: get asked, which is, what are you going to do 270 00:13:22,520 --> 00:13:24,880 Speaker 1: to fix the problem? Don't ficker with the other side, 271 00:13:24,920 --> 00:13:26,839 Speaker 1: just fix the darm problem. And I keep saying, I'm 272 00:13:26,840 --> 00:13:28,680 Speaker 1: a doctor. That's what we do for a living. We 273 00:13:28,840 --> 00:13:32,679 Speaker 1: fix the problems. And I'll do that in Pennsylvania, Doctor Oz. Everybody, Doc? 274 00:13:32,760 --> 00:13:37,480 Speaker 1: What's that website again? Doctor oz dot com? And I'd be, 275 00:13:38,200 --> 00:13:39,920 Speaker 1: you know, wrong if I didn't mention I'm wearing a 276 00:13:40,000 --> 00:13:45,000 Speaker 1: Phillies polo shirt with a Eagles blazer on top of it, 277 00:13:45,080 --> 00:13:48,000 Speaker 1: which is it's a good day to be Hey, I 278 00:13:48,160 --> 00:13:51,360 Speaker 1: love it. I won't talk about I love it. Phillies 279 00:13:51,679 --> 00:13:53,959 Speaker 1: are are in the playoffs, they're advancing. They're gonna lose 280 00:13:54,000 --> 00:13:56,760 Speaker 1: to my braves but the Eagles are five and oz 281 00:13:56,960 --> 00:13:59,360 Speaker 1: right now. They are on fire. So that's a good 282 00:13:59,440 --> 00:14:01,720 Speaker 1: combo right now. Lots of winning going on with those 283 00:14:01,720 --> 00:14:06,200 Speaker 1: two teams. Well, it's the time of history. It's not 284 00:14:06,240 --> 00:14:08,160 Speaker 1: always a happy time with our sports team. But we're 285 00:14:08,160 --> 00:14:10,079 Speaker 1: over the moon right now. So God bless you for 286 00:14:10,200 --> 00:14:12,160 Speaker 1: making a great show. Thanks so much, Doctor. I was 287 00:14:12,200 --> 00:14:15,080 Speaker 1: appreciate you, Clay, you know, for that whole wine in 288 00:14:15,120 --> 00:14:17,920 Speaker 1: the hand thing. I just gotta say, wasn't seventy five 289 00:14:17,960 --> 00:14:21,040 Speaker 1: dollars to Quella shots like Jesse Kelly. I'm just throwing 290 00:14:21,080 --> 00:14:24,640 Speaker 1: that out there. Wasn't that We need all of you 291 00:14:25,040 --> 00:14:28,440 Speaker 1: in Pennsylvania to help. We told you. I told you, 292 00:14:28,520 --> 00:14:31,480 Speaker 1: like was it two months ago? I said, Hey, doctor Oz, 293 00:14:31,520 --> 00:14:34,320 Speaker 1: the underdog here, he's gonna win. Everybody thought we were 294 00:14:34,360 --> 00:14:37,600 Speaker 1: crazy for telling you. I think he has pulled the head, 295 00:14:37,640 --> 00:14:40,480 Speaker 1: but he needs more steam. He needs everybody in Pennsylvania 296 00:14:40,560 --> 00:14:43,760 Speaker 1: coming getting in line behind him. John Fetterman would be 297 00:14:43,760 --> 00:14:48,160 Speaker 1: the most disastrous cynic candidate that you can possibly imagine 298 00:14:48,320 --> 00:14:51,200 Speaker 1: if he were to win. We'll come back down and 299 00:14:51,240 --> 00:14:53,280 Speaker 1: continue to break this down for you, but I want 300 00:14:53,280 --> 00:14:55,600 Speaker 1: to tell you all about our friend Mike Lindell.

Alaskans 322 00:16:13,440 --> 00:16:17,360 Speaker 1: have a really interesting decision to make, and we're joined 323 00:16:17,360 --> 00:16:21,520 Speaker 1: now by Kelly Shabaka, who who is in the process 324 00:16:21,560 --> 00:16:26,320 Speaker 1: of trying to take Lisa Murkowski out Lisa Murkowski and 325 00:16:26,400 --> 00:16:28,560 Speaker 1: her allies. And you can correct me on this if 326 00:16:28,600 --> 00:16:32,040 Speaker 1: I'm wrong, Kelly, but they basically have tried to put 327 00:16:32,120 --> 00:16:36,280 Speaker 1: in place this ranked choice voting system because otherwise you 328 00:16:36,320 --> 00:16:40,600 Speaker 1: would have trounced her in the Republican primary, and you 329 00:16:40,640 --> 00:16:44,240 Speaker 1: are rapidly gaining ground on her now in the election. 330 00:16:44,640 --> 00:16:46,840 Speaker 1: And I know it's a little bit complicated, but can 331 00:16:46,840 --> 00:16:49,720 Speaker 1: you explain for everybody out there what's going on with 332 00:16:49,840 --> 00:16:54,040 Speaker 1: ranked choice, what you are campaigning on, and how people 333 00:16:54,080 --> 00:16:59,720 Speaker 1: can help you beat Lisa Murkowski. Yes, firsts so glit 334 00:17:00,160 --> 00:17:01,880 Speaker 1: so glad to be with you. Thank you for having me. 335 00:17:02,600 --> 00:17:07,359 Speaker 1: So you're absolutely right. It was exposed in undercover videos 336 00:17:07,560 --> 00:17:12,760 Speaker 1: that Murkowski and our campaign staff worked together to deceive Alaskins, 337 00:17:12,800 --> 00:17:14,720 Speaker 1: telling us we would be getting rid of dark money 338 00:17:14,720 --> 00:17:18,040 Speaker 1: in the state and that's how they lan a ballot 339 00:17:18,040 --> 00:17:20,679 Speaker 1: measure to bring in ring choice voting, and in the 340 00:17:20,760 --> 00:17:23,879 Speaker 1: undercover videos they said this was also the LEASA Murkowski 341 00:17:23,920 --> 00:17:27,800 Speaker 1: could get reelected because if she didn't have ring choice 342 00:17:27,880 --> 00:17:31,080 Speaker 1: voting in place, she would have lost the Senate seat decidedly. 343 00:17:31,840 --> 00:17:35,440 Speaker 1: And we don't have a party primary anymore. In fact, 344 00:17:35,560 --> 00:17:38,200 Speaker 1: Murkowski has been centered by the Republican Party and removed 345 00:17:38,240 --> 00:17:42,640 Speaker 1: from membership. So in our Partmary, everybody was running against everybody. 346 00:17:42,640 --> 00:17:45,720 Speaker 1: We had nineteen candidates on the ballot for US Senate. 347 00:17:46,320 --> 00:17:49,800 Speaker 1: The four candidates who got the most votes regardless of party, 348 00:17:49,840 --> 00:17:52,800 Speaker 1: it could have been four Republicans all make it to 349 00:17:52,840 --> 00:17:56,080 Speaker 1: the general election. In fact, we have three Republicans and 350 00:17:56,240 --> 00:17:59,680 Speaker 1: the Democrat. The fourth Republican on the ballot, he's canceled 351 00:17:59,720 --> 00:18:02,400 Speaker 1: his his bid and he said he's thrown his hat 352 00:18:02,440 --> 00:18:04,680 Speaker 1: in with me. He wants to see me win. So 353 00:18:04,720 --> 00:18:08,000 Speaker 1: it's me and Murkowski, who calls herself a Republican still, 354 00:18:08,520 --> 00:18:10,960 Speaker 1: and the Democrat, who only got six percent of the 355 00:18:11,040 --> 00:18:14,000 Speaker 1: vote in the primary. Most of the Democrats lined up 356 00:18:14,000 --> 00:18:17,879 Speaker 1: behind Murkowski. So in the general election, what happens is 357 00:18:18,359 --> 00:18:21,640 Speaker 1: voters get a choice of ranking their candidates one, two, three, 358 00:18:21,680 --> 00:18:26,160 Speaker 1: and four. The person comes in fourth. If somebody doesn't 359 00:18:26,160 --> 00:18:29,600 Speaker 1: cross fifty percent on round one, the fourth person drops 360 00:18:29,640 --> 00:18:32,760 Speaker 1: off their second, third, and fourth place votes get reallocated, 361 00:18:33,359 --> 00:18:35,800 Speaker 1: the third person drops off their second, third and fourth 362 00:18:35,800 --> 00:18:38,200 Speaker 1: place votes get rellocated, and then whoever has the most 363 00:18:38,240 --> 00:18:42,160 Speaker 1: votes wins. So despite the fact that I'm leading Murkowski 364 00:18:42,240 --> 00:18:46,600 Speaker 1: by double digits right now, when the Democrat votes get reallocated, 365 00:18:47,359 --> 00:18:50,439 Speaker 1: multiple polls a couple of weeks ago showed Murkowski and 366 00:18:50,440 --> 00:18:52,840 Speaker 1: I were tied fifty fifty. But there's an article out 367 00:18:52,880 --> 00:18:56,239 Speaker 1: today in National News that shows that I'm now at 368 00:18:56,280 --> 00:18:58,960 Speaker 1: fifty three percent, and so it looks like we're gaining 369 00:18:59,000 --> 00:19:01,840 Speaker 1: some ground, which is great, and we're just going to 370 00:19:01,880 --> 00:19:04,800 Speaker 1: continue to move forward like that until November eighth. And 371 00:19:04,880 --> 00:19:06,600 Speaker 1: I think the way we're doing that is we're just 372 00:19:06,720 --> 00:19:09,879 Speaker 1: knocking thousands of doors. I've knocked fifteen hundred doors, My 373 00:19:10,160 --> 00:19:12,399 Speaker 1: husband and kids have knocked hundreds more. On top of that, 374 00:19:12,480 --> 00:19:15,919 Speaker 1: our team's knocked twenty five thousand. I've been in you know, 375 00:19:16,080 --> 00:19:19,560 Speaker 1: Bessel and Cossabue, in the illusions under all rural communities 376 00:19:19,920 --> 00:19:22,840 Speaker 1: and then many of the communities with roads here in 377 00:19:22,880 --> 00:19:25,680 Speaker 1: Alaska just this week. And that's how we're going to 378 00:19:25,760 --> 00:19:27,680 Speaker 1: move this needle forward, and that's how we're going to win. 379 00:19:27,720 --> 00:19:30,960 Speaker 1: I'm really confident that that's the path forward from here, Kelly, 380 00:19:31,000 --> 00:19:33,959 Speaker 1: to help people understand this ranked choice. If they're listening 381 00:19:34,000 --> 00:19:36,560 Speaker 1: to us right now, they are in Alaska, they love 382 00:19:36,600 --> 00:19:39,480 Speaker 1: you and they want you to be the Senator. Should 383 00:19:39,480 --> 00:19:42,679 Speaker 1: they only put your name on the ballot as a 384 00:19:42,760 --> 00:19:45,600 Speaker 1: first choice, so there is no second, third, or fourth. 385 00:19:45,840 --> 00:19:48,960 Speaker 1: From a game theory perspective, what's the best way for 386 00:19:49,040 --> 00:19:53,159 Speaker 1: your die hard supporters to vote? Well, the real answer 387 00:19:53,200 --> 00:19:56,160 Speaker 1: is it doesn't matter from a mass perspective or game theory. 388 00:19:57,200 --> 00:19:59,720 Speaker 1: So what we found in explaining it to voters is 389 00:20:00,040 --> 00:20:03,040 Speaker 1: rank choice. It's so confusing, and sometimes it's simplest just 390 00:20:03,080 --> 00:20:06,040 Speaker 1: to say, put Kelly Chebaka number one. But because my 391 00:20:06,160 --> 00:20:08,560 Speaker 1: ballot will never drop off, it really doesn't matter if 392 00:20:08,560 --> 00:20:11,320 Speaker 1: you rank me or not. So honestly, you're just spending 393 00:20:11,359 --> 00:20:13,399 Speaker 1: more time in the ballot box. And when I tell 394 00:20:13,440 --> 00:20:14,760 Speaker 1: it to them like that, they're like, oh, well, then 395 00:20:14,760 --> 00:20:17,080 Speaker 1: I'm just going to put Kelly Schibaka number one. Exactly. 396 00:20:17,560 --> 00:20:19,280 Speaker 1: It only matters if you're going to vote for the 397 00:20:19,320 --> 00:20:21,359 Speaker 1: third or fourth place candidate because their ballots are going 398 00:20:21,400 --> 00:20:24,040 Speaker 1: to drop off. That's when your second choice candidate matters. 399 00:20:24,560 --> 00:20:26,560 Speaker 1: But since we know my bollot's not dropping off, it 400 00:20:26,600 --> 00:20:29,520 Speaker 1: doesn't matter. So I would recommend Kelly chebaka number one 401 00:20:29,560 --> 00:20:31,760 Speaker 1: and keep moving just to save yourself from time. But 402 00:20:31,840 --> 00:20:34,040 Speaker 1: if you want to rank you can. It really doesn't matter. 403 00:20:34,240 --> 00:20:37,880 Speaker 1: So Kelly, whose idea was this? I mean, we're sitting here, 404 00:20:38,359 --> 00:20:41,920 Speaker 1: there's enough election complexity and people are busy, and I 405 00:20:42,000 --> 00:20:46,000 Speaker 1: mean ranked choice voting. It just it feels like it's 406 00:20:46,359 --> 00:20:49,280 Speaker 1: it's rigged for the benefit of the people who, for 407 00:20:49,359 --> 00:20:52,080 Speaker 1: whatever reason in this state think that they'll benefit off 408 00:20:52,080 --> 00:20:55,119 Speaker 1: from it. Well, you're absolutely right, and that's what was 409 00:20:55,160 --> 00:20:57,919 Speaker 1: exposed in the undercover video is it was all the 410 00:20:58,000 --> 00:21:01,479 Speaker 1: brain child of Murkowski's campaign team because they knew she 411 00:21:01,800 --> 00:21:04,120 Speaker 1: wouldn't get reelected. Without this, she doesn't have a chance. 412 00:21:04,160 --> 00:21:06,000 Speaker 1: About that, she'd already be gone, her career would have 413 00:21:06,000 --> 00:21:08,800 Speaker 1: been over in the primary. This way she has some 414 00:21:08,880 --> 00:21:11,919 Speaker 1: kind of a fighting chance. But really, Alaskans get to 415 00:21:11,960 --> 00:21:15,040 Speaker 1: decide this year whether they want to have a Senator 416 00:21:15,080 --> 00:21:17,800 Speaker 1: who stands with Alaska, who's going to fight for our 417 00:21:17,840 --> 00:21:20,640 Speaker 1: Alaskan families and the workers who are being crushed by 418 00:21:20,680 --> 00:21:25,040 Speaker 1: inflation and our economy that's been just absolutely devastated by 419 00:21:25,040 --> 00:21:27,520 Speaker 1: Biden's policies, or are we going to vote for the 420 00:21:27,560 --> 00:21:30,879 Speaker 1: senators who's been standing with Joe Biden and his radical 421 00:21:30,960 --> 00:21:34,840 Speaker 1: environmentalists that she's confirmed sometimes by tie breaking votes and 422 00:21:35,160 --> 00:21:37,919 Speaker 1: the dark money special interest funding her campaign. When you 423 00:21:37,960 --> 00:21:41,280 Speaker 1: put together the millions and millions and millions of dollars 424 00:21:41,280 --> 00:21:45,080 Speaker 1: and her campaign and her pack, that's quote Alaskan's releasa, 425 00:21:45,160 --> 00:21:48,760 Speaker 1: none of whom are Alaskan and the Senate leadership funds, 426 00:21:48,800 --> 00:21:51,439 Speaker 1: you know, the DC infighters and the swamp coming in 427 00:21:51,480 --> 00:21:54,159 Speaker 1: here flooding our state with money less than one million 428 00:21:54,200 --> 00:21:55,919 Speaker 1: of it is actually from Alaska. And I think if 429 00:21:55,920 --> 00:21:57,800 Speaker 1: you add that all up together, it's like close to 430 00:21:57,840 --> 00:22:00,359 Speaker 1: twenty million dollars. I know you guys have bridally up 431 00:22:00,359 --> 00:22:02,800 Speaker 1: in Alaska. Apparently you also have at least one rhino. 432 00:22:02,960 --> 00:22:06,119 Speaker 1: So we need to focus in on this situation. And 433 00:22:06,520 --> 00:22:08,399 Speaker 1: I want to ask you, because your state is so 434 00:22:10,320 --> 00:22:13,680 Speaker 1: energy is such a big part of Alaska, and the 435 00:22:13,720 --> 00:22:18,520 Speaker 1: Biden administration has gotten energy policy as wrong as pretty 436 00:22:18,600 --> 00:22:21,240 Speaker 1: much anything else, which is saying a lot, what would 437 00:22:21,280 --> 00:22:23,520 Speaker 1: you like to see done? I mean, how could better 438 00:22:23,560 --> 00:22:27,040 Speaker 1: federal policy on the energy sector help Alaskans and with it, 439 00:22:27,080 --> 00:22:31,399 Speaker 1: the whole country. Oh, it's super simple. We were energy 440 00:22:31,440 --> 00:22:34,439 Speaker 1: independent and I would say dominant two years ago, and 441 00:22:34,480 --> 00:22:37,240 Speaker 1: they've completely shut us down. It's like what the lower 442 00:22:37,280 --> 00:22:40,800 Speaker 1: forty eight understands about the Keithstone Excel pipeline. They've done 443 00:22:40,800 --> 00:22:43,600 Speaker 1: that all over the place in Alaska. The problem for 444 00:22:43,720 --> 00:22:46,840 Speaker 1: us is it's all being made at the decision of 445 00:22:46,920 --> 00:22:50,880 Speaker 1: deb Holland, the Interior Secretary. She's single handedly shut down 446 00:22:50,960 --> 00:22:53,200 Speaker 1: an war, shut down the future of NPRA, A shut 447 00:22:53,200 --> 00:22:55,280 Speaker 1: down the cooking and oil and gas. Lisays killed the 448 00:22:55,359 --> 00:22:58,000 Speaker 1: rope to amble our mind, taken back our navigable water rights. 449 00:22:58,040 --> 00:23:01,200 Speaker 1: I could go on. DeLand is only in place because 450 00:23:01,240 --> 00:23:03,679 Speaker 1: of a single tie breaking vote from Lisa Murkowski to 451 00:23:03,720 --> 00:23:06,760 Speaker 1: move her out a committee. Now Murkowski will lie and say, oh, 452 00:23:06,800 --> 00:23:09,639 Speaker 1: it's going to happen anyway. The confirmation process means she 453 00:23:09,680 --> 00:23:11,960 Speaker 1: could have been ejected from committee by a vote of 454 00:23:11,960 --> 00:23:16,520 Speaker 1: the Democrats. But Murkowski single handedly blocked the deputy nominee 455 00:23:16,720 --> 00:23:19,080 Speaker 1: for Interior Secretary. She said, this woman is not getting 456 00:23:19,080 --> 00:23:21,679 Speaker 1: through committee. I block her, and Biden listened. So she 457 00:23:21,680 --> 00:23:23,800 Speaker 1: could have done the same for Dev Holland, and she didn't, 458 00:23:23,840 --> 00:23:26,480 Speaker 1: And now all of Alaska and America is paying the price. 459 00:23:26,880 --> 00:23:28,879 Speaker 1: We could be energy independent again. If you just reverse 460 00:23:28,960 --> 00:23:31,440 Speaker 1: the policies in Alaska. Alaska has enough oil and gas 461 00:23:31,520 --> 00:23:34,639 Speaker 1: to power the entire United States, and our workers and 462 00:23:34,720 --> 00:23:37,240 Speaker 1: our families are paying the price because our senator made 463 00:23:37,240 --> 00:23:41,360 Speaker 1: the tiebreaking vote. Kelly, I read this in the Wall 464 00:23:41,400 --> 00:23:44,000 Speaker 1: Street Journal and I couldn't believe it, and it disgusted me. 465 00:23:44,160 --> 00:23:45,520 Speaker 1: And I bet it discussed you, and I bet it 466 00:23:45,520 --> 00:23:49,000 Speaker 1: discussed a lot of Alaskans as well. Mitch McConnell is 467 00:23:49,040 --> 00:23:54,879 Speaker 1: spending millions of dollars against you, an actual Republican on 468 00:23:55,080 --> 00:23:59,680 Speaker 1: behalf of Lisa Murkowski, while there are many Republicans out 469 00:23:59,720 --> 00:24:04,520 Speaker 1: there in extremely competitive races that could use those millions 470 00:24:04,520 --> 00:24:08,439 Speaker 1: of dollars to actually beat Democrats. Is that accurate? And 471 00:24:08,560 --> 00:24:12,680 Speaker 1: how much does that discuss to you? That is accurate? 472 00:24:13,160 --> 00:24:15,720 Speaker 1: And you know, I've been fighting the DC establishment for 473 00:24:15,720 --> 00:24:17,800 Speaker 1: a really long time, so it makes a lot of 474 00:24:17,800 --> 00:24:19,800 Speaker 1: sense to me that they don't want me. There an 475 00:24:19,800 --> 00:24:23,720 Speaker 1: Alaskan who won't be bullied or bought by Washington DC. 476 00:24:24,280 --> 00:24:26,440 Speaker 1: But the key point about all this that I think 477 00:24:26,520 --> 00:24:30,879 Speaker 1: is fascinating is these ads are complete slander. There's nothing 478 00:24:30,920 --> 00:24:32,600 Speaker 1: that I've seen more of a lie. You know, there's 479 00:24:32,640 --> 00:24:36,720 Speaker 1: a lot of exaggerating and false things that happened during 480 00:24:36,720 --> 00:24:39,399 Speaker 1: campaign season. These things are an absolute lie. So like 481 00:24:39,480 --> 00:24:43,359 Speaker 1: one of them, for example, is that talking about how 482 00:24:43,480 --> 00:24:48,639 Speaker 1: I likely committed fraud with my hours reporting. Okay, I 483 00:24:48,720 --> 00:24:52,680 Speaker 1: have an exoneration memo from the adjudication official. Outread it 484 00:24:52,720 --> 00:24:56,240 Speaker 1: to you. It's National Consistance Office Office of Inspector General 485 00:24:56,280 --> 00:24:58,800 Speaker 1: report on false claims of time and attendant signed by 486 00:24:58,840 --> 00:25:01,880 Speaker 1: the Director of National intellig Its Chief management officer. As 487 00:25:01,920 --> 00:25:04,040 Speaker 1: a result of my review of the reference document and 488 00:25:04,080 --> 00:25:07,000 Speaker 1: all your input, I consider the matter related to allegations 489 00:25:07,000 --> 00:25:08,919 Speaker 1: of time and attendance of fraud and it used to 490 00:25:08,920 --> 00:25:12,359 Speaker 1: be closed because what happened is these insiders, so I 491 00:25:12,400 --> 00:25:15,200 Speaker 1: was investigating. They decided to look into this matter, and 492 00:25:15,480 --> 00:25:18,240 Speaker 1: they only looked into the one side, you know, the allegations. 493 00:25:18,280 --> 00:25:20,240 Speaker 1: They refused to look at any of my evidence that 494 00:25:20,280 --> 00:25:22,520 Speaker 1: I worked the hours. When I'm presented the evidence of 495 00:25:22,560 --> 00:25:25,919 Speaker 1: the judication official, he said, this issue is closed. And 496 00:25:26,040 --> 00:25:28,720 Speaker 1: on the other issue about my move, I documented all 497 00:25:28,760 --> 00:25:30,359 Speaker 1: the breach of a contract and I referred him to 498 00:25:30,359 --> 00:25:32,640 Speaker 1: the Attorney General. But of course Mitch McConnell's not telling 499 00:25:32,680 --> 00:25:35,440 Speaker 1: that in the ad the dirt of this all is 500 00:25:35,520 --> 00:25:39,360 Speaker 1: Lisa Murkowski's pack has donated to these ads. She put 501 00:25:39,359 --> 00:25:41,239 Speaker 1: in all her money into the Senate Leadership Fund right 502 00:25:41,280 --> 00:25:44,240 Speaker 1: before these ads were run. So the slander of this 503 00:25:44,280 --> 00:25:46,439 Speaker 1: is pretty bad. So that's why we're talking with lawyers 504 00:25:46,520 --> 00:25:48,920 Speaker 1: right now about our legal recourse and what we can do, 505 00:25:49,480 --> 00:25:52,640 Speaker 1: because it's really bad when a senator from Kentucky's trying 506 00:25:52,680 --> 00:25:54,800 Speaker 1: to tell all of us Alaskan too, our senator is 507 00:25:54,840 --> 00:25:57,639 Speaker 1: going to be when the Alaska Republican Party has already 508 00:25:57,840 --> 00:25:59,879 Speaker 1: censured her and removed her from membership and said she 509 00:26:00,119 --> 00:26:04,240 Speaker 1: is not the Republican of choice in Alaska. Kelly Shabaka everybody, Kelly, 510 00:26:04,240 --> 00:26:06,840 Speaker 1: where should people go to donate to help out to 511 00:26:06,880 --> 00:26:09,119 Speaker 1: make sure that you are the next Senator for the 512 00:26:09,160 --> 00:26:12,720 Speaker 1: state of Alaska. Well, thank you Alaska for helping because 513 00:26:12,720 --> 00:26:15,520 Speaker 1: we're still majority funded by Alaskans. You can help us 514 00:26:15,520 --> 00:26:18,000 Speaker 1: at Kelly for AKA dot com, k E L L 515 00:26:18,119 --> 00:26:20,960 Speaker 1: I f O r AKA dot com and anyone in 516 00:26:20,960 --> 00:26:23,600 Speaker 1: America wants to help too, Kelly for AKA dot com. 517 00:26:23,600 --> 00:26:26,280 Speaker 1: We got to push back on the swamp and get 518 00:26:26,320 --> 00:26:28,560 Speaker 1: someone in there who won't be bullied, silenced, and bought 519 00:26:28,560 --> 00:26:30,920 Speaker 1: by DC. I appreciate your help and thanks for your time. 520 00:26:31,040 --> 00:26:34,240 Speaker 1: Of course, good luck to you. Thank you, my friends, 521 00:26:34,240 --> 00:26:37,359 Speaker 1: switching gears here for a moment something really important as well, 522 00:26:37,359 --> 00:26:40,520 Speaker 1: that's underway across the country. Half the states of past 523 00:26:40,640 --> 00:26:48,160 Speaker 1: laws and are pushing for extreme abortion regimes as personal 524 00:26:48,200 --> 00:26:50,240 Speaker 1: as every life is, for the moment of conception and 525 00:26:50,280 --> 00:26:53,200 Speaker 1: going forward. There is an organization that's trying to hold 526 00:26:53,240 --> 00:26:57,639 Speaker 1: back this wave of destruction and death. It's called Preborn. 527 00:26:57,960 --> 00:27:02,080 Speaker 1: The Preborn Pregnancy Clinics began their mission over sixteen years ago. 528 00:27:02,400 --> 00:27:05,800 Speaker 1: They provide free ultrasounds to pregnant women. You see, when 529 00:27:05,800 --> 00:27:10,840 Speaker 1: an expectant mom here's that baby's heartbeat, sees the image 530 00:27:10,880 --> 00:27:13,840 Speaker 1: of her baby on that ultrasound, she sees a life, 531 00:27:14,200 --> 00:27:17,040 Speaker 1: a precious life made in God's image, and she will 532 00:27:17,080 --> 00:27:21,000 Speaker 1: often choose life as a result. Preborn Pregnancy Clinics have 533 00:27:21,119 --> 00:27:24,520 Speaker 1: rescued hundreds of thousands of babies lives in this way, 534 00:27:24,680 --> 00:27:28,840 Speaker 1: though the country's largest provider of free ultrasounds, but their 535 00:27:28,880 --> 00:27:32,520 Speaker 1: response is entirely dependent on you, the pro life community. 536 00:27:32,920 --> 00:27:35,600 Speaker 1: Your help is needed now more than ever. Just one 537 00:27:35,680 --> 00:27:38,359 Speaker 1: ultrasound is twenty eight dollars. One hundred and forty dollars 538 00:27:38,359 --> 00:27:42,040 Speaker 1: could rescue five babies lives with ultrasounds. You can donate 539 00:27:42,080 --> 00:27:44,919 Speaker 1: whatever you want though, five dollars, ten dollars, anything you 540 00:27:44,960 --> 00:27:48,440 Speaker 1: can spare today. Use your cell phone dial pound two 541 00:27:48,520 --> 00:27:52,520 Speaker 1: fifty and say the keyword baby. That's pound two five 542 00:27:52,680 --> 00:27:57,800 Speaker 1: zero and say baby.

What could be more worthwhile? 546 00:28:12,080 --> 00:28:14,680 Speaker 1: What could be a better thing to do right now 547 00:28:14,720 --> 00:28:19,080 Speaker 1: than that?

Senator Ron Johnson 550 00:28:26,760 --> 00:28:31,040 Speaker 1: joins us now in Wisconsin, and Senator, since we last 551 00:28:31,119 --> 00:28:33,840 Speaker 1: talk to you, it appears that your opponent people are 552 00:28:34,000 --> 00:28:38,760 Speaker 1: realizing is a defund the police, left wing stalwart, and 553 00:28:38,840 --> 00:28:42,360 Speaker 1: it doesn't sound like the state of Wisconsin is responding 554 00:28:42,480 --> 00:28:46,080 Speaker 1: very well to him. Well, good morning, guys, and you're 555 00:28:46,080 --> 00:28:48,560 Speaker 1: exactly right. It's taken us a few weeks to get 556 00:28:48,560 --> 00:28:52,200 Speaker 1: the truth out about Mandela Barnes and quite honestly, Governor Evers, 557 00:28:52,240 --> 00:28:55,920 Speaker 1: their tag team they came into office for the goal 558 00:28:55,920 --> 00:29:01,200 Speaker 1: of reducing our prison population by fifty percent to fifteen percent. 559 00:29:01,520 --> 00:29:03,840 Speaker 1: They purled eight hundred and eighty four criminals. Only one 560 00:29:03,920 --> 00:29:06,000 Speaker 1: hundred were non violent. The other seven hundred and eighty 561 00:29:06,000 --> 00:29:11,240 Speaker 1: four were violent criminals, including forty four child rapists and 562 00:29:11,280 --> 00:29:14,240 Speaker 1: two hundred seventy criminals who primarily committed or at least 563 00:29:14,240 --> 00:29:18,840 Speaker 1: attempted murder. And they were horrific murders, I mean, just horrific. 564 00:29:19,040 --> 00:29:22,200 Speaker 1: Wisconsin right now is a great publication putting out all there. 565 00:29:22,240 --> 00:29:25,440 Speaker 1: People want to read just how awful these criminals aren't 566 00:29:25,760 --> 00:29:30,000 Speaker 1: they at least around the streets, So they are soft 567 00:29:30,120 --> 00:29:32,760 Speaker 1: on crime to say the least. And now Wisconsins are 568 00:29:32,760 --> 00:29:36,680 Speaker 1: beginning to understand the truth about Lieutenant Governor Mandela Barnes 569 00:29:36,720 --> 00:29:42,840 Speaker 1: and Governor Evers, Senator Johnson's buck. I'm wondering when people 570 00:29:42,840 --> 00:29:45,160 Speaker 1: come up to you and they're talking to you about 571 00:29:45,360 --> 00:29:48,280 Speaker 1: what faces them right now in their day to day lives. 572 00:29:48,280 --> 00:29:52,320 Speaker 1: Even CNN is saying the overwhelming issue, I mean, crime 573 00:29:52,440 --> 00:29:54,280 Speaker 1: is probably number two right now, which is why the 574 00:29:54,320 --> 00:29:57,440 Speaker 1: Democrats are panic. But they're also a little panic because 575 00:29:57,480 --> 00:30:01,200 Speaker 1: the economy is the number one issue for everyone, And 576 00:30:01,600 --> 00:30:04,280 Speaker 1: what is it feeling like the people in your state 577 00:30:04,680 --> 00:30:07,560 Speaker 1: when it comes to price of gas, inflation, and just 578 00:30:07,680 --> 00:30:10,360 Speaker 1: their sense of their economic future for people who are 579 00:30:10,360 --> 00:30:14,000 Speaker 1: trying to make ends meet, I was crushing everybody in Wisconsin. 580 00:30:14,040 --> 00:30:17,480 Speaker 1: It's costing consumers about six hundred and seventy three dollars 581 00:30:17,480 --> 00:30:21,160 Speaker 1: per month in terms of household expenses, that's about eight 582 00:30:21,200 --> 00:30:24,040 Speaker 1: thousand dollars a year. I keep pointing out a dollar 583 00:30:24,120 --> 00:30:26,240 Speaker 1: you help at the start of the buying administrations only 584 00:30:26,240 --> 00:30:29,840 Speaker 1: with eighty eight point three cents. So yeah, they're they're 585 00:30:29,840 --> 00:30:33,240 Speaker 1: being crushed by record inflation or forty year high inflation, 586 00:30:33,280 --> 00:30:37,160 Speaker 1: record gas prices, the skyrocketing crime. You know, the open 587 00:30:37,200 --> 00:30:41,120 Speaker 1: border primarily affects Wisconsin because the flooded deadly drugs and 588 00:30:41,520 --> 00:30:43,360 Speaker 1: we used to have to shut down met flabs. No, 589 00:30:43,560 --> 00:30:46,200 Speaker 1: they're all been put out of business by the open borders. 590 00:30:46,360 --> 00:30:49,040 Speaker 1: It's so much cheaper to get the metan fantomy and 591 00:30:49,080 --> 00:30:52,640 Speaker 1: fetanol from our open borders. So they're being crushed by 592 00:30:53,000 --> 00:30:57,120 Speaker 1: this fundamental destruction of America. That's what's happening here. But 593 00:30:57,800 --> 00:31:01,760 Speaker 1: it's actually more fundamental than those issues people, at least 594 00:31:01,760 --> 00:31:04,600 Speaker 1: on our side, the aisle they're just concerned about us 595 00:31:04,680 --> 00:31:07,840 Speaker 1: losing our country. It's being torn apart by the left. 596 00:31:07,920 --> 00:31:10,320 Speaker 1: You know, we're not the divisive side is the left. 597 00:31:10,640 --> 00:31:13,760 Speaker 1: This device is shoving all this weird stuff down our throats, 598 00:31:14,080 --> 00:31:18,600 Speaker 1: and it concerns people. So Senator Buck and I were 599 00:31:18,600 --> 00:31:22,400 Speaker 1: just talking about this COVID data that continues to come out. 600 00:31:22,440 --> 00:31:27,360 Speaker 1: The Fiser executive, testifying in front of the European Commission says, now, hey, 601 00:31:27,400 --> 00:31:31,920 Speaker 1: Fiser never actually conducted any sort of tests to see 602 00:31:31,960 --> 00:31:35,960 Speaker 1: whether the COVID shot would stop transmission. That runs counter 603 00:31:36,080 --> 00:31:39,520 Speaker 1: to everything that we were told by the Biden administration, 604 00:31:39,600 --> 00:31:42,640 Speaker 1: by many of our public health authorities. We want you 605 00:31:42,680 --> 00:31:45,200 Speaker 1: back in the Senate because we think you're one of 606 00:31:45,240 --> 00:31:48,160 Speaker 1: the guys that can lead this charge. But when are 607 00:31:48,160 --> 00:31:51,440 Speaker 1: these drug companies going to be held accountable? When are 608 00:31:51,480 --> 00:31:53,760 Speaker 1: the people who told us that these mandates had to 609 00:31:53,800 --> 00:31:57,120 Speaker 1: happen be going to be held accountable? What can the 610 00:31:57,200 --> 00:32:01,200 Speaker 1: Senate do with a Republican majority to hold all these 611 00:32:01,240 --> 00:32:05,040 Speaker 1: people accountable? Come January, if you win and if we 612 00:32:05,120 --> 00:32:08,200 Speaker 1: continue to have more Republican Senators so that we end 613 00:32:08,280 --> 00:32:11,320 Speaker 1: up with the majority, well if I win, I'd be 614 00:32:11,640 --> 00:32:13,680 Speaker 1: and we get the majority I'd become chairman of the 615 00:32:13,680 --> 00:32:17,200 Speaker 1: Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations, I would have stronger to peanut 616 00:32:17,200 --> 00:32:19,240 Speaker 1: power than I had as chairman of the full Committee. 617 00:32:19,480 --> 00:32:23,239 Speaker 1: I've written more than forty five oversight letters on in 618 00:32:23,280 --> 00:32:27,080 Speaker 1: some aspects of COVID, so you understand this. This would 619 00:32:27,080 --> 00:32:31,280 Speaker 1: be a top priority of mind to get to the 620 00:32:31,320 --> 00:32:34,680 Speaker 1: bontoball these singers, because our federal health agencies have not 621 00:32:34,760 --> 00:32:38,600 Speaker 1: been honest with us, they have not been transparent. You 622 00:32:38,640 --> 00:32:43,000 Speaker 1: know that they've ignored vaccine injuries. They disparage anybody who 623 00:32:43,000 --> 00:32:46,560 Speaker 1: would even bring it up. So this is obviously one 624 00:32:46,560 --> 00:32:48,680 Speaker 1: of the reasons I'm running is we need to get 625 00:32:48,720 --> 00:32:50,640 Speaker 1: to the bomb of this. We can't let something of 626 00:32:50,640 --> 00:32:52,920 Speaker 1: this happen again in the future. You know, Senator Johnson, 627 00:32:52,960 --> 00:32:55,280 Speaker 1: we're speaking of Senator N. Johnson for anyone joining us 628 00:32:55,600 --> 00:32:59,280 Speaker 1: of Wisconsin right now. Senator, we talked to ear in 629 00:32:59,280 --> 00:33:00,880 Speaker 1: the program about that. I did want to ask you, 630 00:33:02,120 --> 00:33:06,840 Speaker 1: are there Republicans, would you say this as a policy 631 00:33:06,920 --> 00:33:10,400 Speaker 1: promise that Republicans are going to try to push to 632 00:33:10,400 --> 00:33:14,680 Speaker 1: have certainly anybody who was fired from federal service rehired 633 00:33:14,720 --> 00:33:18,720 Speaker 1: as a result of these of completely insane, draconian and 634 00:33:18,800 --> 00:33:22,400 Speaker 1: pointless vaccine mandates. I'm Clay and I are both surprised 635 00:33:22,480 --> 00:33:25,520 Speaker 1: we haven't heard more Republicans say every person who works 636 00:33:25,520 --> 00:33:28,000 Speaker 1: for the federal government who lost their job should be 637 00:33:28,040 --> 00:33:33,160 Speaker 1: rehired resulting from these vaccine mandates. Well, so, we've had 638 00:33:33,200 --> 00:33:36,360 Speaker 1: Republicans like Sanader Paul and others looking at the origins 639 00:33:36,360 --> 00:33:39,720 Speaker 1: of COVID. I think we are all universally opposed the mandates. 640 00:33:39,800 --> 00:33:42,400 Speaker 1: But in terms of you know what I've been trying 641 00:33:42,440 --> 00:33:44,959 Speaker 1: to do, advocate for the vaccine injured, trying to provide 642 00:33:44,960 --> 00:33:48,040 Speaker 1: information to the public so they can have informed choices. 643 00:33:49,960 --> 00:33:52,360 Speaker 1: It's been a pretty lonely position I've been in. But 644 00:33:52,640 --> 00:33:55,440 Speaker 1: you understand why Milwaukee Journal Sentinel just came out with 645 00:33:55,960 --> 00:33:59,640 Speaker 1: a screed against me. One of the points against me 646 00:33:59,720 --> 00:34:02,360 Speaker 1: is that I was a super spreader of disinformation during 647 00:34:02,360 --> 00:34:04,640 Speaker 1: the pandemic. Join the team, I was going to say, 648 00:34:05,960 --> 00:34:09,000 Speaker 1: right now, yeah, you know, I mean, they lay out 649 00:34:09,040 --> 00:34:12,560 Speaker 1: all this stuff that everything I said was true. Not 650 00:34:12,680 --> 00:34:14,560 Speaker 1: once has has somebody been able to come up to 651 00:34:14,560 --> 00:34:17,120 Speaker 1: me and say, this is what you said, there was misinformation. 652 00:34:17,480 --> 00:34:21,840 Speaker 1: I mean I provided data from the CDC, the NIH 653 00:34:21,760 --> 00:34:23,680 Speaker 1: Now that maybe didn't like the way I presented it 654 00:34:23,760 --> 00:34:27,200 Speaker 1: comparing the death of Ira Mexium hydra tri drocs Oftoricua 655 00:34:27,239 --> 00:34:30,279 Speaker 1: into now the thirty one thousand, four hundred deaths that 656 00:34:30,400 --> 00:34:33,160 Speaker 1: we've had with the COVID nineteen vaccine. So I know 657 00:34:33,280 --> 00:34:36,279 Speaker 1: people haven't liked the truth I've been spreading, but it's 658 00:34:36,320 --> 00:34:38,600 Speaker 1: been the truth. But what about on the rehiring point 659 00:34:38,680 --> 00:34:42,960 Speaker 1: of those who got fired for the mandate? Oh? Yeah, absolutely, um, 660 00:34:43,239 --> 00:34:45,480 Speaker 1: And I honestly hope you know. This is where the 661 00:34:45,560 --> 00:34:48,319 Speaker 1: judicial system could come in pretty handy. I'm a private 662 00:34:48,400 --> 00:34:52,120 Speaker 1: sector guy, try to avoid lawyers in the judicial system 663 00:34:52,200 --> 00:34:54,120 Speaker 1: like a plague. But this is where you need a 664 00:34:54,200 --> 00:34:58,120 Speaker 1: strong judicial system, and I think strong lawsuits because people 665 00:34:58,160 --> 00:35:02,000 Speaker 1: have been injured improper as you were pointing out earlier 666 00:35:02,040 --> 00:35:04,200 Speaker 1: in the show. I mean, and by the way, we've 667 00:35:04,320 --> 00:35:08,880 Speaker 1: known this since summer of twenty twenty one. The vaccine 668 00:35:08,960 --> 00:35:11,160 Speaker 1: was not as effective as we all hope and prayed 669 00:35:11,200 --> 00:35:13,719 Speaker 1: it would be. That it did not prevent infection, it 670 00:35:13,840 --> 00:35:15,920 Speaker 1: did not prevent transmission. All yeah, I do is look 671 00:35:15,960 --> 00:35:19,080 Speaker 1: to England or Israel. You couldn't look at US data 672 00:35:19,120 --> 00:35:22,520 Speaker 1: because CDC wasn't publishing it, but overseas it was obvious 673 00:35:23,160 --> 00:35:25,640 Speaker 1: these vaccines were not as safe and as effective as 674 00:35:25,680 --> 00:35:27,680 Speaker 1: we all hope and prayed they would be. But the 675 00:35:27,760 --> 00:35:30,560 Speaker 1: mainstream media is all part of that COVID cartel. They've 676 00:35:30,600 --> 00:35:33,440 Speaker 1: been covering it up just as well as the by 677 00:35:33,440 --> 00:35:37,680 Speaker 1: the administration the health agencies have been. Senator Johnson, I 678 00:35:37,840 --> 00:35:42,439 Speaker 1: saw much less serious. You drank a beer as part 679 00:35:42,480 --> 00:35:45,880 Speaker 1: of your endorsement. By I think you can tell me 680 00:35:45,920 --> 00:35:49,880 Speaker 1: who the endorsement was from up in Wisconsin, way faster 681 00:35:50,200 --> 00:35:53,000 Speaker 1: than Aaron Rodgers drink a beer. And I just I 682 00:35:53,840 --> 00:35:55,640 Speaker 1: saw it and I said, my goodness, this is a 683 00:35:55,719 --> 00:35:57,520 Speaker 1: man who knows how to put down a beer. What 684 00:35:57,719 --> 00:36:00,239 Speaker 1: was the endorsement and what was the reaction? I think 685 00:36:00,280 --> 00:36:02,520 Speaker 1: you timed it under four seconds to put down the 686 00:36:02,719 --> 00:36:06,640 Speaker 1: entire beer that was the tavern legal Wisconsin. And yeah, 687 00:36:07,160 --> 00:36:10,279 Speaker 1: that's one of my talents. I mean, I want to 688 00:36:10,320 --> 00:36:12,839 Speaker 1: get thirsty, especially if I've been playing sport or something. 689 00:36:12,880 --> 00:36:15,360 Speaker 1: I can down a beer. Senator Johnson is a renaissance 690 00:36:15,440 --> 00:36:18,360 Speaker 1: man everybody. I mean, that's have you seen the video. 691 00:36:18,640 --> 00:36:20,200 Speaker 1: We need to put it side by side of you 692 00:36:20,400 --> 00:36:22,640 Speaker 1: versus Aaron Rodgers. I mean, this may be the one 693 00:36:22,719 --> 00:36:25,160 Speaker 1: thing athletically that you can take Aaron Rodgers down on, 694 00:36:26,280 --> 00:36:27,799 Speaker 1: I haven't been beat yet. I know there are other 695 00:36:27,800 --> 00:36:29,279 Speaker 1: people in care. I'm sure it can beat me. But 696 00:36:29,360 --> 00:36:31,520 Speaker 1: I've got a pretty pretty strailing record when it comes 697 00:36:31,560 --> 00:36:34,040 Speaker 1: to chugging. Plus, I'm in the book in the Marine 698 00:36:34,040 --> 00:36:37,360 Speaker 1: Barracks four seconds are under and that was about practice. 699 00:36:38,040 --> 00:36:41,520 Speaker 1: That is impressive. So when you're out, last question for 700 00:36:41,719 --> 00:36:44,320 Speaker 1: you here, when you're out and about Buck and I 701 00:36:44,480 --> 00:36:48,120 Speaker 1: talk about this as an election on inflation, the economy, crime, 702 00:36:48,680 --> 00:36:52,920 Speaker 1: is that almost exclusively what you are hearing from Wisconsin voters, 703 00:36:53,000 --> 00:36:55,080 Speaker 1: what they want to talk about, and what they want 704 00:36:55,160 --> 00:36:58,640 Speaker 1: addressed in their lives. Yeah, those are the issues, but 705 00:36:58,719 --> 00:37:01,840 Speaker 1: again it's it's more in it's more fundamental than that. 706 00:37:02,360 --> 00:37:05,360 Speaker 1: For people support me, they are tired of the anger 707 00:37:05,400 --> 00:37:09,600 Speaker 1: and division. They literally see this country being torn apart. 708 00:37:09,680 --> 00:37:12,120 Speaker 1: In their concern that we are losing our country. They 709 00:37:12,200 --> 00:37:15,439 Speaker 1: want to save this country again. They have far greater 710 00:37:15,520 --> 00:37:18,840 Speaker 1: concerns other than the economic ones. Although let's face it, 711 00:37:18,960 --> 00:37:24,359 Speaker 1: did the Biden economy Biden inflations crushing everybody, no doubt, 712 00:37:24,440 --> 00:37:26,799 Speaker 1: that's one hundred percent true. And I said last question, 713 00:37:26,880 --> 00:37:30,439 Speaker 1: but I'm actually curious here. The January sixth hearings coming 714 00:37:30,520 --> 00:37:33,719 Speaker 1: on tomorrow as they continue them on the same day 715 00:37:33,800 --> 00:37:37,919 Speaker 1: that we get the latest data on inflation. How tone deaf? 716 00:37:38,080 --> 00:37:43,080 Speaker 1: Is that? Pretty tone deaf? You know, as tone deaf 717 00:37:43,120 --> 00:37:46,640 Speaker 1: as the media just ignoring five seventy riots during the 718 00:37:46,680 --> 00:37:50,000 Speaker 1: summer of twenty twenty that injured two thousand law enforcement officials. 719 00:37:50,320 --> 00:37:52,520 Speaker 1: A couple dozen people lost their lives one of two 720 00:37:52,560 --> 00:37:55,400 Speaker 1: billion dollars of property damage. You know, by the way, 721 00:37:55,719 --> 00:37:59,640 Speaker 1: my opponents incited the Kenosha riots by saying the police 722 00:37:59,719 --> 00:38:02,600 Speaker 1: hatch and look like a vendetta being carried out against 723 00:38:02,640 --> 00:38:06,800 Speaker 1: remember their community. So no, I mean the media is 724 00:38:06,800 --> 00:38:09,239 Speaker 1: completely tone deaf because they are part and partial of 725 00:38:09,320 --> 00:38:12,480 Speaker 1: the radical left themselves. Amen, Get where can people go 726 00:38:12,560 --> 00:38:16,680 Speaker 1: to donate money?

Politico, the left wing political site, 754 00:39:44,840 --> 00:39:48,760 Speaker 1: had this story up today. Oregon is suddenly in jeopardy, 755 00:39:49,080 --> 00:39:51,839 Speaker 1: like it's facing an earthquake or something. Suddenly the state 756 00:39:51,880 --> 00:39:54,759 Speaker 1: of Oregon is in jeopardy, and Joe Biden wants to help. 757 00:39:55,040 --> 00:39:59,040 Speaker 1: You know why. It's it's quote in jeopardy because Christine 758 00:39:59,120 --> 00:40:02,239 Speaker 1: Dreysen is doing a heck of a job running your 759 00:40:02,280 --> 00:40:05,440 Speaker 1: campaign and might actually win this governor's race. And the 760 00:40:05,520 --> 00:40:08,320 Speaker 1: Libs will cry she's with us now, Christine, thanks for 761 00:40:08,400 --> 00:40:11,479 Speaker 1: calling back. Thanks so much for having me. It's great 762 00:40:11,560 --> 00:40:14,840 Speaker 1: to be back. So look, there's so many issues that 763 00:40:14,920 --> 00:40:16,239 Speaker 1: we want to break down that you will. We have 764 00:40:16,280 --> 00:40:19,080 Speaker 1: a little bit of time. I asked Clay this before. 765 00:40:19,320 --> 00:40:22,480 Speaker 1: We're talking a lot about the crime issue here, but 766 00:40:22,920 --> 00:40:26,840 Speaker 1: Oregon was one of the crazier states, certainly in Portland, 767 00:40:26,960 --> 00:40:32,360 Speaker 1: I would and the surrounding areas for COVID stuff. Is 768 00:40:32,480 --> 00:40:36,319 Speaker 1: that What is what is getting people behind you more 769 00:40:36,360 --> 00:40:38,560 Speaker 1: than anything else? Is it just the economy and crime? 770 00:40:38,640 --> 00:40:42,800 Speaker 1: What's the third issue? It's well, it's definitely a thousand cuts. 771 00:40:43,520 --> 00:40:46,640 Speaker 1: It's affordability. We are one of the least affordable states 772 00:40:46,640 --> 00:40:50,920 Speaker 1: in the nation, and when our you know, major urban corps, 773 00:40:51,000 --> 00:40:52,919 Speaker 1: used to be one of the safest places in the nation. 774 00:40:53,080 --> 00:40:56,359 Speaker 1: Now it's now it's one of the least safe. Crime skyrocket, 775 00:40:56,400 --> 00:40:59,640 Speaker 1: it's hard, it's expensive to live here. Our schools are 776 00:40:59,680 --> 00:41:03,240 Speaker 1: in the US. They our schools had a longer shutdown 777 00:41:03,640 --> 00:41:06,200 Speaker 1: than California for our students. I mean, just to put 778 00:41:06,239 --> 00:41:10,200 Speaker 1: that into perspective, and our ACT scores and all of 779 00:41:10,200 --> 00:41:12,960 Speaker 1: our standardized testing show that our kids are in a 780 00:41:13,040 --> 00:41:16,800 Speaker 1: real bad way and parents are upset. I mean, you 781 00:41:16,960 --> 00:41:19,040 Speaker 1: name it, you name the category, you name the issue, 782 00:41:19,400 --> 00:41:22,120 Speaker 1: and under single party control and Democrat leadership in my 783 00:41:22,280 --> 00:41:27,640 Speaker 1: dear home state, we are in a ditch. Christine. I 784 00:41:27,760 --> 00:41:32,040 Speaker 1: saw that Phil Knight donated a million dollars to your campaign. 785 00:41:32,200 --> 00:41:35,600 Speaker 1: He's a founder of Nike. I don't know that he's 786 00:41:35,680 --> 00:41:39,000 Speaker 1: known to be a Republican donor, but when I saw this, 787 00:41:39,760 --> 00:41:42,840 Speaker 1: it was emblematic. I thought of the appeal that you 788 00:41:43,040 --> 00:41:46,239 Speaker 1: are creating, and I'm curious if you could kind of 789 00:41:46,520 --> 00:41:49,319 Speaker 1: put this into perspective for us. But even people who 790 00:41:49,400 --> 00:41:53,480 Speaker 1: might not be traditional Democrats in Oregon are saying things 791 00:41:53,520 --> 00:41:56,960 Speaker 1: are broken here. We have to try something different. I'm 792 00:41:56,960 --> 00:41:59,400 Speaker 1: assuming Phil Knight is one of those guys. He's a 793 00:41:59,440 --> 00:42:01,960 Speaker 1: business guy. He understands how to make money. He's run 794 00:42:02,000 --> 00:42:04,880 Speaker 1: a very successful business. Are you seeing a lot of 795 00:42:05,000 --> 00:42:08,600 Speaker 1: people who may be traditional Democrat voters coming to your 796 00:42:08,719 --> 00:42:12,279 Speaker 1: side because they just recognize how broken things are in 797 00:42:12,520 --> 00:42:16,200 Speaker 1: organ right now? Oh? Absolutely, I mean this is not 798 00:42:16,480 --> 00:42:20,560 Speaker 1: a partisan race. This is really a very simple question 799 00:42:20,640 --> 00:42:23,520 Speaker 1: for all Oregonians, and that is are you better off 800 00:42:23,560 --> 00:42:26,439 Speaker 1: today than you were four years ago? Are you better 801 00:42:26,480 --> 00:42:28,800 Speaker 1: off today than you were eight years ago? Democrats have 802 00:42:29,000 --> 00:42:32,280 Speaker 1: had complete control of our government now for a decade, 803 00:42:32,600 --> 00:42:34,880 Speaker 1: so they've had an opportunity to show what their leadership 804 00:42:34,960 --> 00:42:38,400 Speaker 1: looks like. So the simple question for all Oregonians, regardless 805 00:42:38,440 --> 00:42:40,719 Speaker 1: of parties, are you better off? And if you're not, 806 00:42:41,520 --> 00:42:46,439 Speaker 1: we need change? And that's really really what is what's 807 00:42:46,480 --> 00:42:49,279 Speaker 1: behind the energy and the momentum of this campaign. Are 808 00:42:49,360 --> 00:42:52,560 Speaker 1: Oregonians recognizing that the problems that we have they're solvable. 809 00:42:52,960 --> 00:42:55,360 Speaker 1: We can do this, We're capable of doing this. We 810 00:42:55,480 --> 00:42:59,040 Speaker 1: have an amazing, beautiful state with fantastic people that are 811 00:42:59,120 --> 00:43:03,040 Speaker 1: innovative and hard working, and yet we find ourselves on 812 00:43:03,160 --> 00:43:06,680 Speaker 1: issue after issue in some deep decline right now. And 813 00:43:07,000 --> 00:43:09,680 Speaker 1: I was you know, thankful and honored to have so 814 00:43:09,920 --> 00:43:14,919 Speaker 1: night support in this race, but his support comes after 815 00:43:15,080 --> 00:43:17,680 Speaker 1: thousands of Oregonians have already weighed one on this race 816 00:43:17,760 --> 00:43:21,759 Speaker 1: and say we are supporting change. We're standing up a 817 00:43:21,840 --> 00:43:24,839 Speaker 1: balance now, but we believe in the future of our 818 00:43:24,880 --> 00:43:27,600 Speaker 1: own state and to get this done. We can't keep 819 00:43:27,680 --> 00:43:30,040 Speaker 1: doing the same thing. We're speaking of Christine Draysen. She 820 00:43:30,480 --> 00:43:34,080 Speaker 1: is in some polls up ahead folks in Oregon. So 821 00:43:34,200 --> 00:43:37,000 Speaker 1: to say this race is winnable is almost something of 822 00:43:37,320 --> 00:43:39,920 Speaker 1: an understatement. It's it's looking good right now, but we 823 00:43:40,000 --> 00:43:44,880 Speaker 1: got to keep the momentum going behind drays By the ways, 824 00:43:45,040 --> 00:43:48,120 Speaker 1: are people walking around saying amazing, amazing Draisin or is 825 00:43:48,160 --> 00:43:50,600 Speaker 1: that is that not call on yet? You know what? 826 00:43:50,920 --> 00:43:53,320 Speaker 1: That that could take off? From today on there we 827 00:43:53,440 --> 00:43:58,160 Speaker 1: go hashtag amazing Drayson um And I'm just wondering, is 828 00:43:58,320 --> 00:44:03,160 Speaker 1: Brown the current governor. Is she doing what she can 829 00:44:03,880 --> 00:44:07,120 Speaker 1: to make it seem like she's been more moderate than 830 00:44:07,239 --> 00:44:09,880 Speaker 1: she is, which we see in some states where Democrats 831 00:44:09,880 --> 00:44:12,520 Speaker 1: are effectively pretending like, oh, I didn't, I'm not, I 832 00:44:12,560 --> 00:44:14,960 Speaker 1: don't hate fracking and want to defund the police. It's like, 833 00:44:14,960 --> 00:44:17,600 Speaker 1: well you did until five minutes ago or is the 834 00:44:17,960 --> 00:44:20,960 Speaker 1: current governor's position in your state of Oregon. I'm just 835 00:44:21,000 --> 00:44:23,040 Speaker 1: going to ride the left wing loudy Tune's express and 836 00:44:23,120 --> 00:44:27,160 Speaker 1: see where it takes me. Yeah. Yeah, she's definitely the 837 00:44:27,280 --> 00:44:30,160 Speaker 1: latter in that in that camp. The most interesting thing 838 00:44:30,200 --> 00:44:33,640 Speaker 1: about this race is my opponent, Tina Cotech, has been 839 00:44:33,800 --> 00:44:36,400 Speaker 1: you know, arm in arm with Kate Brown through at 840 00:44:36,440 --> 00:44:40,560 Speaker 1: her entire administration, directing our state further and further out 841 00:44:40,560 --> 00:44:44,399 Speaker 1: of the mainstream and deeper into decline. And now when 842 00:44:44,600 --> 00:44:48,520 Speaker 1: we have joined appearances together, she is, you know, saying 843 00:44:48,560 --> 00:44:52,560 Speaker 1: that Kate Brown is not a strong leader, and Kate doesn't, 844 00:44:53,000 --> 00:44:55,600 Speaker 1: you know, get everything wrong, and she's the reason we're 845 00:44:55,640 --> 00:44:58,200 Speaker 1: in this terrible position. And what we really need is 846 00:44:58,200 --> 00:45:01,040 Speaker 1: another Democrat that shares all this in values, that can 847 00:45:01,120 --> 00:45:05,399 Speaker 1: just do more the same. And she unabashedly throws Kate 848 00:45:05,440 --> 00:45:08,040 Speaker 1: Brown under the bus. And so that's really how you 849 00:45:08,200 --> 00:45:10,880 Speaker 1: know where the state of the race is. When the 850 00:45:11,000 --> 00:45:14,560 Speaker 1: incumbent governor is just such a drag on the Democrat 851 00:45:14,640 --> 00:45:18,000 Speaker 1: ticket that they have to run from her, and in fact, 852 00:45:18,040 --> 00:45:22,200 Speaker 1: they're choosing Biden over Kate on a daily basis as 853 00:45:23,040 --> 00:45:27,720 Speaker 1: the banner for their candidacy. It is. It is really 854 00:45:27,800 --> 00:45:30,560 Speaker 1: really shocking that that's just how unpopular Kate Brown is 855 00:45:30,600 --> 00:45:33,839 Speaker 1: in the state of Oregon. Her leadership harmed our state 856 00:45:34,280 --> 00:45:37,880 Speaker 1: and regardless of party, folks, Now at Christine, when you 857 00:45:38,200 --> 00:45:42,040 Speaker 1: initially started your campaign, I'm sure a lot of people said, haha, 858 00:45:42,320 --> 00:45:46,520 Speaker 1: Republicans never going to get elected in Oregon. As Buck referenced, 859 00:45:46,560 --> 00:45:50,120 Speaker 1: a lot of the polls have you ahead. You are going, 860 00:45:50,320 --> 00:45:53,360 Speaker 1: I believe, to be the next governor of Oregon. But 861 00:45:53,480 --> 00:45:56,400 Speaker 1: I'm curious. There hasn't been a Republican governor in Oregon 862 00:45:56,520 --> 00:46:00,360 Speaker 1: since the nineteen eighties. We're twenty six days till the election. 863 00:46:01,120 --> 00:46:04,480 Speaker 1: Do you expect for Democrats to get desperate and really 864 00:46:04,680 --> 00:46:08,080 Speaker 1: nasty now that they see you as a legit threat, 865 00:46:08,320 --> 00:46:11,680 Speaker 1: maybe in a way that they didn't in June and July. 866 00:46:12,160 --> 00:46:15,400 Speaker 1: As this election wounds, what are you seeing on the 867 00:46:15,520 --> 00:46:18,560 Speaker 1: ground and what are your opponents saying? Are they getting 868 00:46:18,680 --> 00:46:23,919 Speaker 1: nastier with you as they recognize, Oh, she may really win? Yeah? 869 00:46:24,080 --> 00:46:27,320 Speaker 1: Tenas Kotech has a consistent record of lyne as just 870 00:46:27,520 --> 00:46:30,040 Speaker 1: as a legislator, and now that we are in a 871 00:46:30,120 --> 00:46:33,800 Speaker 1: campaign cycle, she's had no qualms about just making stuff 872 00:46:33,880 --> 00:46:37,000 Speaker 1: up and so that's where they're at in this race 873 00:46:37,160 --> 00:46:41,960 Speaker 1: right now. They are absolutely desperate that you know, the 874 00:46:42,800 --> 00:46:48,080 Speaker 1: Oregan political class is just absolutely losing their minds, the 875 00:46:48,239 --> 00:46:51,879 Speaker 1: DC political classes in panic mode. I mean, we're talking 876 00:46:51,960 --> 00:46:57,080 Speaker 1: about just a Democrat party that has no idea what's 877 00:46:57,080 --> 00:46:59,600 Speaker 1: happening right now. I mean, Tina Cootech is so entitled 878 00:47:00,120 --> 00:47:03,200 Speaker 1: to this governor's office. You know, she just wants to 879 00:47:03,320 --> 00:47:06,480 Speaker 1: step into step into the seat. And that's just not 880 00:47:06,640 --> 00:47:09,520 Speaker 1: what's happening. They are having. They're having to fight hard 881 00:47:10,360 --> 00:47:12,880 Speaker 1: in this race, and we're up in this race and 882 00:47:13,480 --> 00:47:17,080 Speaker 1: absolutely committed to winning this race. And they've just never 883 00:47:17,160 --> 00:47:19,040 Speaker 1: seen it before. It's been years and years and years 884 00:47:19,239 --> 00:47:21,440 Speaker 1: last time a Republican was in the governor's office. Isn't 885 00:47:21,960 --> 00:47:23,960 Speaker 1: you know? We have this right Top Gun was in 886 00:47:24,400 --> 00:47:26,359 Speaker 1: top Gun was in the theaters, and now it's back. 887 00:47:26,400 --> 00:47:29,640 Speaker 1: It's my favorite. I think it's definitely it's definitely our 888 00:47:29,719 --> 00:47:31,840 Speaker 1: moment here in Oregon. But more than anything else, the 889 00:47:31,960 --> 00:47:35,839 Speaker 1: Democrats are not They can't believe their eyes. They can't 890 00:47:35,840 --> 00:47:39,080 Speaker 1: believe that their own party would leave them, that they 891 00:47:39,120 --> 00:47:40,960 Speaker 1: couldn't just do anything they wanted to the state of 892 00:47:41,000 --> 00:47:43,800 Speaker 1: our state. And they wouldn't just accept it. Instead, Oregonians 893 00:47:43,840 --> 00:47:46,320 Speaker 1: are standing up and they're saying this is a mess, 894 00:47:46,560 --> 00:47:49,480 Speaker 1: and y'all are fired. Christine. One of the things we 895 00:47:49,560 --> 00:47:52,719 Speaker 1: talk about on this show is the difference between insane insane. 896 00:47:52,840 --> 00:47:55,359 Speaker 1: We don't talk all the time about Democrat Republican because 897 00:47:55,360 --> 00:47:57,040 Speaker 1: there are a lot of things that Democrats are doing 898 00:47:57,120 --> 00:48:01,760 Speaker 1: that are flat out insane. You're a mom of Republican women. 899 00:48:01,840 --> 00:48:05,279 Speaker 1: It seems like you have finally gotten fed up and said, hey, 900 00:48:05,560 --> 00:48:07,440 Speaker 1: we have to speak out, we have to do something. 901 00:48:07,560 --> 00:48:10,800 Speaker 1: I'm curious, not just an Oregan, but nationwide. Are you 902 00:48:10,960 --> 00:48:13,880 Speaker 1: seeing a lot of moms with this COVID impact and 903 00:48:13,960 --> 00:48:17,319 Speaker 1: everything else, who finally have just had enough and are 904 00:48:17,400 --> 00:48:20,800 Speaker 1: recognizing that it's time for a change. And do you 905 00:48:20,880 --> 00:48:24,239 Speaker 1: think Oregon is part of a bigger story here about 906 00:48:24,320 --> 00:48:28,560 Speaker 1: Republican moms standing up? Yeah? I actually think to your 907 00:48:28,600 --> 00:48:31,960 Speaker 1: point that this isn't partisan either. I think that moms 908 00:48:32,040 --> 00:48:37,640 Speaker 1: across the political spectrum are standing up and saying advocating 909 00:48:37,680 --> 00:48:42,200 Speaker 1: for their kids. And in COVID in particular, hurt our 910 00:48:42,320 --> 00:48:45,080 Speaker 1: students and an Oregon you know, they were they were 911 00:48:45,160 --> 00:48:48,160 Speaker 1: left behind, they were thrown under the bus, and it 912 00:48:48,360 --> 00:48:51,440 Speaker 1: was really all politics and had nothing to do about them, 913 00:48:51,920 --> 00:48:54,799 Speaker 1: and they were collateral damage. And that's not good enough. 914 00:48:54,920 --> 00:48:57,280 Speaker 1: And so I hear all the time when I do events, 915 00:48:58,040 --> 00:49:00,640 Speaker 1: parents coming up to the saying, we are not political, 916 00:49:00,760 --> 00:49:04,719 Speaker 1: we have never done this before, but promise me that 917 00:49:04,840 --> 00:49:09,040 Speaker 1: you will not shut our school down. And that is 918 00:49:09,080 --> 00:49:11,720 Speaker 1: in the moment where you realize people are paying attention 919 00:49:11,800 --> 00:49:15,040 Speaker 1: like they haven't before, and that they are demanding change 920 00:49:15,040 --> 00:49:17,520 Speaker 1: because it affects their family, it affects their kids, that 921 00:49:17,560 --> 00:49:21,600 Speaker 1: affects their future, and they deserve to have elected leaders 922 00:49:22,080 --> 00:49:24,839 Speaker 1: that put them first, that respect their family, that want 923 00:49:24,920 --> 00:49:26,799 Speaker 1: the best for their kids, and aren't going to put 924 00:49:26,880 --> 00:49:30,160 Speaker 1: some political agenda in front of what's right and best 925 00:49:30,239 --> 00:49:35,160 Speaker 1: for Oregonians.

They see it right in front of their eyes, 976 00:52:18,520 --> 00:52:21,280 Speaker 1: and they're really fed up with the Democrats, who obviously 977 00:52:21,360 --> 00:52:22,799 Speaker 1: have the son at the White House in the House, 978 00:52:22,840 --> 00:52:25,160 Speaker 1: and I think they're ready for a change. Rona, we're 979 00:52:25,200 --> 00:52:29,279 Speaker 1: talking about twenty five days right at that till the midterms. 980 00:52:29,719 --> 00:52:32,440 Speaker 1: I know this is a little bit early, but is 981 00:52:32,520 --> 00:52:35,520 Speaker 1: there an East Coast state that you think will be 982 00:52:35,840 --> 00:52:38,840 Speaker 1: an early barometer for those of us who are nerds 983 00:52:38,920 --> 00:52:40,840 Speaker 1: like Buck and Eye and are going to be watching 984 00:52:41,040 --> 00:52:45,000 Speaker 1: returns come in. Is it North Carolina? Is it Florida? 985 00:52:45,440 --> 00:52:48,560 Speaker 1: Where will you be looking on the East Coast to say, okay, 986 00:52:48,800 --> 00:52:51,080 Speaker 1: this is a sign of how the country might be 987 00:52:51,200 --> 00:52:54,080 Speaker 1: going early on that night. Where can we get signs? 988 00:52:55,040 --> 00:52:57,120 Speaker 1: So you know, you'd like to say in New York, 989 00:52:57,200 --> 00:52:59,640 Speaker 1: but their results are so slow because of the way 990 00:52:59,640 --> 00:53:02,080 Speaker 1: they at their elections. I think you got to look 991 00:53:02,120 --> 00:53:05,960 Speaker 1: at Rhode Island too. Alan Sung just a stellar rock 992 00:53:06,040 --> 00:53:10,400 Speaker 1: star candidate. That's a flip for us. And then of course, Florida, 993 00:53:10,840 --> 00:53:14,960 Speaker 1: we've got some key seats Anna, Paulina Luna. Obviously, if 994 00:53:15,000 --> 00:53:17,360 Speaker 1: Marco Rubio and Ron Jessie had just come out quickly 995 00:53:17,600 --> 00:53:20,279 Speaker 1: out of the gate with big wins, that's gonna be 996 00:53:20,360 --> 00:53:22,680 Speaker 1: a bell other to a pretty good night. What are 997 00:53:22,680 --> 00:53:25,239 Speaker 1: you guys doing to try to help in some of 998 00:53:25,280 --> 00:53:29,840 Speaker 1: these very tight races like Warnock Walker and Georgia. We 999 00:53:30,000 --> 00:53:32,759 Speaker 1: just had Adam laxalt On a few few minutes ago 1000 00:53:32,920 --> 00:53:37,000 Speaker 1: out in Nevada, and obviously Blake Masters, who's getting money 1001 00:53:37,360 --> 00:53:40,520 Speaker 1: from Peter Till but apparently not from Mitch McConnell. What's 1002 00:53:40,560 --> 00:53:44,280 Speaker 1: going on? So they aren't season all of those races 1003 00:53:44,320 --> 00:53:45,719 Speaker 1: and all of those states, and we have just a 1004 00:53:45,840 --> 00:53:49,040 Speaker 1: unique role. Obviously, the past year we've been focusing on 1005 00:53:49,160 --> 00:53:52,480 Speaker 1: voter registration. Well, we've really built up some good numbers 1006 00:53:52,520 --> 00:53:55,880 Speaker 1: in states like Pennsylvania and Florida, North Carolina and Nevada. 1007 00:53:56,640 --> 00:53:58,600 Speaker 1: Now we switched to the get out the vote efforts. 1008 00:53:59,000 --> 00:54:03,920 Speaker 1: We have trained close to eight hundred thousand volunteers. We 1009 00:54:04,080 --> 00:54:07,360 Speaker 1: have over a thousand staff in the field. We've opened 1010 00:54:07,400 --> 00:54:11,440 Speaker 1: thirty eight thousand or thirty eight community centers dealing with Hispanic, 1011 00:54:11,560 --> 00:54:16,399 Speaker 1: Asian and African American voters. In Nevada, we have three 1012 00:54:16,440 --> 00:54:18,640 Speaker 1: of those offices open. In Georgia we have two. In 1013 00:54:18,719 --> 00:54:21,160 Speaker 1: Texas we have five. So our get out the vote, 1014 00:54:21,239 --> 00:54:23,560 Speaker 1: in our infrastructure to turn out the vote, it's going 1015 00:54:23,600 --> 00:54:25,480 Speaker 1: to be the biggest difference, I think in a lot 1016 00:54:25,560 --> 00:54:28,200 Speaker 1: of these races when it's tight, because you've got to 1017 00:54:28,200 --> 00:54:32,160 Speaker 1: be able to go knock those independent voters doors doors 1018 00:54:32,280 --> 00:54:34,880 Speaker 1: by their neighbor and the best way to influence the 1019 00:54:34,960 --> 00:54:37,560 Speaker 1: vote is through somebody who knows you. And that's what 1020 00:54:37,680 --> 00:54:40,560 Speaker 1: we've been building for the past two years. Rona, You 1021 00:54:40,800 --> 00:54:42,800 Speaker 1: and I in Buck and a lot of our listeners 1022 00:54:42,920 --> 00:54:44,960 Speaker 1: pay a great deal of attention on a day to 1023 00:54:45,040 --> 00:54:48,720 Speaker 1: day basis to what's happening in the American political universe. Frankly, 1024 00:54:48,920 --> 00:54:52,080 Speaker 1: a huge percentage of Americans don't and a lot of 1025 00:54:52,160 --> 00:54:55,320 Speaker 1: people make their decision in the final two weeks, in 1026 00:54:55,400 --> 00:54:59,319 Speaker 1: the final ten days. What is the message that resonates 1027 00:54:59,520 --> 00:55:02,440 Speaker 1: you guys are finding with those people, And how do 1028 00:55:02,640 --> 00:55:06,960 Speaker 1: you think those late deciding voters, the independence, the unaffiliated, 1029 00:55:07,239 --> 00:55:09,279 Speaker 1: the people who frankly are just super busy and not 1030 00:55:09,400 --> 00:55:12,840 Speaker 1: that plugged in on politics, are going to break based 1031 00:55:12,880 --> 00:55:16,480 Speaker 1: on what you're seeing twenty five days out, Well, you're 1032 00:55:16,560 --> 00:55:19,279 Speaker 1: so right. People aren't paying attention. If people are living 1033 00:55:19,320 --> 00:55:21,400 Speaker 1: their lives, and you know, those of us who are 1034 00:55:21,560 --> 00:55:24,000 Speaker 1: child in we don't understand. But a lot of Americans 1035 00:55:24,040 --> 00:55:27,720 Speaker 1: aren't paying attention. So the number one issue that's driving 1036 00:55:27,760 --> 00:55:30,680 Speaker 1: the voters that we're seeing is the economy and crime, 1037 00:55:31,440 --> 00:55:35,960 Speaker 1: especially in states that have huge cities with massive crime issues. 1038 00:55:36,800 --> 00:55:40,239 Speaker 1: But it's the ground game is so impactful because we 1039 00:55:40,400 --> 00:55:42,879 Speaker 1: need to identify through our data, which the RNC does, 1040 00:55:43,160 --> 00:55:46,120 Speaker 1: who are our swing voters, who are our local propensity voters, 1041 00:55:46,440 --> 00:55:48,840 Speaker 1: Who do we think we can turn out for this election, 1042 00:55:49,239 --> 00:55:51,160 Speaker 1: and how do we get them to go vote? Have 1043 00:55:51,400 --> 00:55:54,640 Speaker 1: they requested their absentee ballot? If they have, why haven't 1044 00:55:54,680 --> 00:55:56,919 Speaker 1: they turned it in? And that's where the ground games 1045 00:55:56,960 --> 00:56:00,400 Speaker 1: so important and that's what the RNC does. So again, 1046 00:56:00,440 --> 00:56:02,880 Speaker 1: if anybody can support us at goop dot com, we 1047 00:56:02,920 --> 00:56:06,000 Speaker 1: could use it because this is going to be an 1048 00:56:06,040 --> 00:56:08,239 Speaker 1: election where turnout is going to make the difference. In 1049 00:56:08,320 --> 00:56:10,799 Speaker 1: a mid term less people turn out than a presidential year, 1050 00:56:11,120 --> 00:56:14,120 Speaker 1: and people might not even vote because they're apathetic, or 1051 00:56:14,120 --> 00:56:16,759 Speaker 1: they're unhappi or not paying attention. And that's where that 1052 00:56:16,840 --> 00:56:19,960 Speaker 1: ground game is going to be the difference. Speaking Rona McDaniel, 1053 00:56:20,080 --> 00:56:22,040 Speaker 1: chairwoman of the RNC, you just want more for you. 1054 00:56:23,280 --> 00:56:27,160 Speaker 1: If you had to pick right now what seems like 1055 00:56:27,320 --> 00:56:31,600 Speaker 1: somewhat long shot GOP pick up in other governor's race, 1056 00:56:31,680 --> 00:56:34,080 Speaker 1: senate race, you name it. Can you give us? Can 1057 00:56:34,120 --> 00:56:38,000 Speaker 1: you give us one that you think may surprise people? Well, 1058 00:56:38,000 --> 00:56:42,480 Speaker 1: I mean we're all watching the Oregon governor's race Christine 1059 00:56:42,520 --> 00:56:44,879 Speaker 1: Drays and who's just ran a great race. I think 1060 00:56:44,920 --> 00:56:48,040 Speaker 1: that's something that'll surprised the country if we pick up 1061 00:56:48,280 --> 00:56:50,920 Speaker 1: a governor's race in a state like Oregon. But then 1062 00:56:50,960 --> 00:56:54,000 Speaker 1: you got to look at UM candidates like Tiffany Smiley 1063 00:56:54,040 --> 00:56:57,120 Speaker 1: and Washington State or Joe O. Day. I think those 1064 00:56:57,160 --> 00:57:00,759 Speaker 1: will be surprised wins to the country and you know, 1065 00:57:01,000 --> 00:57:04,520 Speaker 1: very blue states. But if it's a wave night, those 1066 00:57:04,560 --> 00:57:07,440 Speaker 1: are the type of seats that will pick up. RONA 1067 00:57:07,560 --> 00:57:09,839 Speaker 1: last question for you, that's a really good one from Buck. 1068 00:57:10,080 --> 00:57:12,919 Speaker 1: Buck and I have been talking about the amount of young, 1069 00:57:13,360 --> 00:57:17,040 Speaker 1: diverse candidates that are running as a Republicans. You mentioned 1070 00:57:17,160 --> 00:57:21,680 Speaker 1: Fung in Rhode Island. There are five or six Latinos 1071 00:57:21,720 --> 00:57:25,400 Speaker 1: out there that may get elected to Congress. Representing Republicans. 1072 00:57:26,360 --> 00:57:29,680 Speaker 1: What are you seeing in terms of Hispanic movement, in 1073 00:57:29,880 --> 00:57:33,320 Speaker 1: terms of maybe voters who have not traditionally been open 1074 00:57:33,400 --> 00:57:38,520 Speaker 1: to voting Republican moving into camparead. So we've seen this 1075 00:57:39,240 --> 00:57:42,040 Speaker 1: realignment with Hispanic voters. We saw in twenty twenty where 1076 00:57:42,040 --> 00:57:45,080 Speaker 1: we had big wins in Miami, right with Carlos Humenes 1077 00:57:45,160 --> 00:57:48,080 Speaker 1: and o Virus Alazar. But now that's moving over to 1078 00:57:48,200 --> 00:57:51,240 Speaker 1: Texas with Myra Floras and Monica de la Cruz and 1079 00:57:51,360 --> 00:57:55,040 Speaker 1: Cassie Garcia. And then you go to Arizona, you look 1080 00:57:55,080 --> 00:57:58,920 Speaker 1: at jan Siscomani. We have so many great candidates and 1081 00:57:59,080 --> 00:58:03,200 Speaker 1: the expansion that has come from intentional investment the RNC 1082 00:58:03,320 --> 00:58:07,680 Speaker 1: with these Hispanic community centers and our engagement in community 1083 00:58:07,800 --> 00:58:10,600 Speaker 1: saying hey, the Democrat vote Party has taken your vote 1084 00:58:10,640 --> 00:58:13,280 Speaker 1: for granted forever, and we're here to earn your vote. 1085 00:58:13,320 --> 00:58:16,440 Speaker 1: And by the way, gas prices are higher, your family 1086 00:58:16,520 --> 00:58:18,600 Speaker 1: is paying more to put food on the table, your 1087 00:58:18,680 --> 00:58:22,680 Speaker 1: kids are falling behind because of education choice has made 1088 00:58:22,720 --> 00:58:25,040 Speaker 1: by the Democrat Party. Maybe it's time to take a 1089 00:58:25,080 --> 00:58:27,440 Speaker 1: look at the Republican Party and I think you're going 1090 00:58:27,480 --> 00:58:30,000 Speaker 1: to see a huge swing with Hispanic voters. This mitte, 1091 00:58:30,520 --> 00:58:32,880 Speaker 1: Ron McDaniel, thanks so much for being with us. Appreciate it. 1092 00:58:33,840 --> 00:58:36,960 Speaker 1: Thanks guys, my friends. Think about the number of times 1093 00:58:37,000 --> 00:58:40,240 Speaker 1: you buy items online or register yourself in some program 1094 00:58:40,400 --> 00:58:43,040 Speaker 1: or other. Every time you do this, your identity it's 1095 00:58:43,080 --> 00:58:46,080 Speaker 1: all over the internet. That information is very valuable to 1096 00:58:46,120 --> 00:58:49,080 Speaker 1: a cyber thief. They use it to open accounts, buy things, 1097 00:58:49,600 --> 00:58:52,640 Speaker 1: make as much as they can before someone discovers them 1098 00:58:52,720 --> 00:58:55,160 Speaker 1: shuts them down. It is important for you to understand 1099 00:58:55,200 --> 00:58:58,160 Speaker 1: how cybercrime and identity theft affect all of our lives 1100 00:58:58,400 --> 00:59:01,640 Speaker 1: because their personal information is getting exposed so often, makes 1101 00:59:01,680 --> 00:59:04,280 Speaker 1: it easy for cyber criminals to steal your identity in 1102 00:59:04,400 --> 00:59:07,200 Speaker 1: one data breach or another.

I got a couple of weeks 1117 00:59:55,240 --> 01:00:01,920 Speaker 1: here before die are cast. Adam, thanks for being this absolutely, 1118 01:00:02,120 --> 01:00:05,640 Speaker 1: thanks for having me. So let's start with this. What 1119 01:00:05,760 --> 01:00:07,200 Speaker 1: do people need to know about the difference between you 1120 01:00:07,240 --> 01:00:14,160 Speaker 1: and Cortez Mastow? Look, first and foremost, I understand that 1121 01:00:14,320 --> 01:00:18,240 Speaker 1: our country is in grave, grave danger. I hear at 1122 01:00:18,280 --> 01:00:21,880 Speaker 1: every single day voters understand that. You know, we don't 1123 01:00:22,120 --> 01:00:26,720 Speaker 1: just need a small correction to fix our state, fix America. 1124 01:00:26,880 --> 01:00:31,760 Speaker 1: We need a radical shift in leadership. And Joe Biden 1125 01:00:32,240 --> 01:00:35,760 Speaker 1: has led us dramatically into the far left in the 1126 01:00:35,880 --> 01:00:40,320 Speaker 1: last two years. It's been astonishing to see the speed 1127 01:00:40,480 --> 01:00:44,240 Speaker 1: in which they've destroyed our country and center. Mastow has 1128 01:00:44,320 --> 01:00:46,880 Speaker 1: been right there with him every step of the way. 1129 01:00:47,400 --> 01:00:50,200 Speaker 1: She's voted with him nearly one hundred percent of the time. 1130 01:00:50,840 --> 01:00:54,960 Speaker 1: And this is easy for all your listeners. The bottom 1131 01:00:55,000 --> 01:00:57,720 Speaker 1: line is you'd know her name if she ever broke 1132 01:00:57,800 --> 01:01:03,480 Speaker 1: from Joe Biden because beside jensens even once, but she 1133 01:01:03,680 --> 01:01:07,840 Speaker 1: never broke from her party's progressive base because you know 1134 01:01:07,960 --> 01:01:10,680 Speaker 1: she's beholden to them, and that is not where our 1135 01:01:10,760 --> 01:01:15,160 Speaker 1: state is. And these policies have hurt Nevada far worse 1136 01:01:15,280 --> 01:01:18,720 Speaker 1: than they have other states across the country. Why do 1137 01:01:18,800 --> 01:01:25,600 Speaker 1: you think your state uniquely maybe is moving so aggressively, Adam, 1138 01:01:26,080 --> 01:01:29,440 Speaker 1: from a blue state to a red state, because I 1139 01:01:29,560 --> 01:01:33,040 Speaker 1: think you're gonna win. I think that Republicans are also 1140 01:01:33,120 --> 01:01:36,960 Speaker 1: going to take the governor's office there. And this feels 1141 01:01:37,000 --> 01:01:40,160 Speaker 1: like something that almost happened in twenty looks like it 1142 01:01:40,240 --> 01:01:43,040 Speaker 1: may well happen in twenty two. And I think we'll 1143 01:01:43,080 --> 01:01:47,200 Speaker 1: signal to the nation that Nevada is potentially going to 1144 01:01:47,360 --> 01:01:49,840 Speaker 1: be a red state in twenty twenty four in the 1145 01:01:49,920 --> 01:01:55,080 Speaker 1: presidential election. Yeah, look first or most you know, we've 1146 01:01:55,120 --> 01:01:58,440 Speaker 1: been credited running one of the strongest, most consistent Senate 1147 01:01:58,520 --> 01:02:02,320 Speaker 1: campaigns in America. We've been at this next twelve months. 1148 01:02:03,080 --> 01:02:05,880 Speaker 1: I have four little kids, ages nine to six, four 1149 01:02:06,000 --> 01:02:09,640 Speaker 1: and nine months as tough as you can imagine on 1150 01:02:09,720 --> 01:02:14,160 Speaker 1: a family. We've given our entire family to this process, 1151 01:02:14,880 --> 01:02:17,720 Speaker 1: and no one has worked harder in this state. And again, 1152 01:02:17,760 --> 01:02:20,080 Speaker 1: I think we've run the best Senate campaign in the country, 1153 01:02:20,160 --> 01:02:24,440 Speaker 1: and so this effort is coming to fruition. We worked 1154 01:02:25,280 --> 01:02:30,320 Speaker 1: tirelessly and here we are, you know, post lay seven 1155 01:02:30,560 --> 01:02:34,720 Speaker 1: polls and it's tight though. You know, this is no 1156 01:02:34,880 --> 01:02:37,920 Speaker 1: time for celebration. These sevens have us up two points 1157 01:02:38,040 --> 01:02:42,200 Speaker 1: three points in a very tight state. And so it's 1158 01:02:42,280 --> 01:02:45,080 Speaker 1: kind of odd. I went from having to convince everybody 1159 01:02:45,120 --> 01:02:46,600 Speaker 1: the first half of the other week and win and 1160 01:02:46,720 --> 01:02:49,000 Speaker 1: now everybody thinks we're just gonna win. But we have 1161 01:02:49,200 --> 01:02:53,080 Speaker 1: to close this thing out. The Democrats have spent ninety 1162 01:02:53,320 --> 01:02:58,240 Speaker 1: million dollars against me, trying to attack me, trying to 1163 01:02:58,360 --> 01:03:02,720 Speaker 1: build up her nonexistent record, and so we got to 1164 01:03:02,800 --> 01:03:06,120 Speaker 1: keep matching that. I hope conservatives across the country help 1165 01:03:06,240 --> 01:03:09,360 Speaker 1: me at Adam Lacksalt dot com as long as we 1166 01:03:09,480 --> 01:03:12,760 Speaker 1: continue to get our message out. The bottom line is 1167 01:03:13,040 --> 01:03:16,400 Speaker 1: they've destroyed our country and people are ready for change 1168 01:03:16,400 --> 01:03:19,520 Speaker 1: in my state. Speaking at Adam lack Salt Adamlackshalt dot com, 1169 01:03:19,680 --> 01:03:22,640 Speaker 1: is he just said, he's in a critical Senate race. 1170 01:03:22,800 --> 01:03:26,840 Speaker 1: Here really could be the difference between Republican control and 1171 01:03:27,600 --> 01:03:31,280 Speaker 1: Evan forbid the alternative. Um adam, I want to know 1172 01:03:31,440 --> 01:03:33,560 Speaker 1: when you speak to people, I'm sure you come across 1173 01:03:33,680 --> 01:03:37,440 Speaker 1: folks who were saying, yeah, yeah, you know what I'm 1174 01:03:37,480 --> 01:03:41,200 Speaker 1: thinking about voting for you. And and here's what I 1175 01:03:41,280 --> 01:03:43,880 Speaker 1: would need to know to make that final determination. I mean, 1176 01:03:43,920 --> 01:03:46,360 Speaker 1: for anyone who's who's on the fence, what are they 1177 01:03:46,400 --> 01:03:48,280 Speaker 1: still trying to figure out? I mean I mean that 1178 01:03:48,360 --> 01:03:50,680 Speaker 1: in earnest this like what what are they is it 1179 01:03:50,800 --> 01:03:53,040 Speaker 1: just where you are on the on the economy? Do 1180 01:03:53,160 --> 01:03:56,760 Speaker 1: they not know what your opponent Cortez Mastow has stood for, 1181 01:03:56,960 --> 01:04:00,160 Speaker 1: which is just all out Bidenism? Like what's you for 1182 01:04:00,240 --> 01:04:03,000 Speaker 1: that last final traunch? We're saying, well, I still got 1183 01:04:03,080 --> 01:04:06,480 Speaker 1: to make a decision. What do they need to know? Look, 1184 01:04:06,600 --> 01:04:10,800 Speaker 1: the bottom line is that high opponent, like many of 1185 01:04:10,880 --> 01:04:14,400 Speaker 1: these Democrat candidates in the US Senate, they had all 1186 01:04:14,800 --> 01:04:18,160 Speaker 1: summer long to themselves, and so they were able to 1187 01:04:19,600 --> 01:04:23,440 Speaker 1: their records, distort their records, you know, she and all 1188 01:04:23,480 --> 01:04:28,000 Speaker 1: this you know pro launch stuff all summer and anticipation 1189 01:04:28,240 --> 01:04:31,680 Speaker 1: of us lower in the boom with Las Vegas Met 1190 01:04:31,720 --> 01:04:37,520 Speaker 1: Show and all the nine of the badges left her me. 1191 01:04:38,080 --> 01:04:40,600 Speaker 1: But they knew that a lot of Republicans weren't going 1192 01:04:40,680 --> 01:04:44,560 Speaker 1: to get up till Labor Day, and so really the answers, 1193 01:04:44,640 --> 01:04:48,040 Speaker 1: we just need to get our message out. Our voters 1194 01:04:48,080 --> 01:04:52,640 Speaker 1: were just hearing our message starting Labor Day forward. It's 1195 01:04:52,720 --> 01:04:54,440 Speaker 1: kind of hard to believe that was the first time 1196 01:04:54,480 --> 01:04:57,000 Speaker 1: we were on TV in Las Vegas. And as they 1197 01:04:57,120 --> 01:05:00,160 Speaker 1: hear that she is a rubber stamp for Biden, it's 1198 01:05:00,200 --> 01:05:03,240 Speaker 1: pretty much game over. When they hear that she supported 1199 01:05:03,320 --> 01:05:07,280 Speaker 1: BLM and says cops are systemically racist. Well, guess what. 1200 01:05:07,400 --> 01:05:11,280 Speaker 1: All those phony ads really really hit a nerve because 1201 01:05:11,320 --> 01:05:14,160 Speaker 1: they can tell that she's lying about that stuff. We 1202 01:05:14,320 --> 01:05:16,919 Speaker 1: put her on a commercial right out of her mouth 1203 01:05:17,160 --> 01:05:20,560 Speaker 1: saying there's no such thing as open borders, it's misinformation, 1204 01:05:20,960 --> 01:05:23,560 Speaker 1: And the second half of the commercial is me going 1205 01:05:23,680 --> 01:05:27,240 Speaker 1: to the border and being endorsed by Border Patrol for 1206 01:05:27,320 --> 01:05:30,320 Speaker 1: the first time in our state history, a Senate Canada 1207 01:05:30,480 --> 01:05:35,320 Speaker 1: being endorsed. And so it's not that not that complicated. 1208 01:05:35,560 --> 01:05:37,600 Speaker 1: A lot of the reason you're seeing these big shifts 1209 01:05:37,640 --> 01:05:40,680 Speaker 1: in these races is because we were finally able to 1210 01:05:40,800 --> 01:05:44,320 Speaker 1: tell the voters the truth, and they're moving quickly once 1211 01:05:44,360 --> 01:05:47,520 Speaker 1: they understand. There's a clear contrast, Adam, There's often a 1212 01:05:47,600 --> 01:05:52,440 Speaker 1: big change between being the hunter and being the hunted. 1213 01:05:52,640 --> 01:05:55,400 Speaker 1: And as you mentioned, the fact that you now have 1214 01:05:55,600 --> 01:05:59,680 Speaker 1: the lead in the polls has probably, i imagine, created 1215 01:05:59,800 --> 01:06:04,080 Speaker 1: a new level of ferocity and frankly dishonesty in your 1216 01:06:04,120 --> 01:06:07,800 Speaker 1: opponent over the next three plus weeks. As we come 1217 01:06:07,880 --> 01:06:11,200 Speaker 1: down this closing stretch, how nasty do you think this 1218 01:06:11,400 --> 01:06:14,480 Speaker 1: is going to get? Given that you are poised to 1219 01:06:14,720 --> 01:06:20,080 Speaker 1: flip a Democrat seat and potentially by yourself in this campaign, 1220 01:06:20,200 --> 01:06:25,760 Speaker 1: depending on what happens elsewhere, potentially deliver the Republicans control 1221 01:06:26,000 --> 01:06:28,600 Speaker 1: of the Senate, what do you expect? How nasty is 1222 01:06:28,600 --> 01:06:33,520 Speaker 1: it going to get? There's no question we've seen the 1223 01:06:34,040 --> 01:06:38,400 Speaker 1: dark face of Democrats. They will whatever it takes for power. 1224 01:06:39,000 --> 01:06:42,560 Speaker 1: We've seen that over and over now. And the bottom 1225 01:06:42,640 --> 01:06:46,880 Speaker 1: line is they've already and hitting me and lying about 1226 01:06:46,960 --> 01:06:49,960 Speaker 1: me for months and months. She is the most fact 1227 01:06:50,080 --> 01:06:54,320 Speaker 1: checked Senate race in America. We're up to seven fact checks. 1228 01:06:54,840 --> 01:06:57,120 Speaker 1: A couple of those are Washington Post, a couple of 1229 01:06:57,200 --> 01:07:01,800 Speaker 1: those are politifacts. These are left wing organizations and so 1230 01:07:02,520 --> 01:07:04,680 Speaker 1: they are just throwing her all up on the wall. 1231 01:07:05,200 --> 01:07:07,920 Speaker 1: They're doing whatever they can to try to destroy me 1232 01:07:08,080 --> 01:07:11,840 Speaker 1: and rescue her failed campaign, but it's not working. I mean, 1233 01:07:11,880 --> 01:07:14,480 Speaker 1: they've fired a lot of shots, and now I think 1234 01:07:14,520 --> 01:07:18,200 Speaker 1: people just understand it's all preposterous and stupid. But I'll 1235 01:07:18,240 --> 01:07:21,280 Speaker 1: also safe we are not in any way letting up. 1236 01:07:22,280 --> 01:07:24,560 Speaker 1: We are an offense. In fact, a lot of our 1237 01:07:24,680 --> 01:07:28,120 Speaker 1: big hits her. We just started a couple of commercials 1238 01:07:28,160 --> 01:07:30,960 Speaker 1: this week. It's the first time voters have heard about us, 1239 01:07:31,240 --> 01:07:33,840 Speaker 1: and we are not taking our foot off the gas. 1240 01:07:34,320 --> 01:07:37,360 Speaker 1: I mean, one of our biggest contrasts is the fact 1241 01:07:37,440 --> 01:07:40,479 Speaker 1: that she was in an attorney general for eight years. 1242 01:07:41,120 --> 01:07:45,200 Speaker 1: I took over her. I took over eight thousand untested 1243 01:07:45,320 --> 01:07:48,600 Speaker 1: rape kits that she didn't bother to get tested. We 1244 01:07:48,840 --> 01:07:53,360 Speaker 1: tested them, and in those kits were serial rapists, murders 1245 01:07:54,040 --> 01:07:58,400 Speaker 1: that that testing got them arrested. The voters are just 1246 01:07:58,640 --> 01:08:01,240 Speaker 1: hearing that for the first time this week, and so 1247 01:08:01,840 --> 01:08:05,040 Speaker 1: that is why these races matter. That's why people are 1248 01:08:05,120 --> 01:08:07,760 Speaker 1: tired of hearing about money and all this. It matters. 1249 01:08:07,880 --> 01:08:11,800 Speaker 1: These democrats had all year to distort their records, and 1250 01:08:12,000 --> 01:08:15,000 Speaker 1: we were just able to reach the voters with these 1251 01:08:15,080 --> 01:08:18,120 Speaker 1: messages and so all we are going to close this 1252 01:08:18,280 --> 01:08:21,320 Speaker 1: thing out. We're gonna stay on offense. We have more 1253 01:08:21,760 --> 01:08:24,479 Speaker 1: to come, and we feel like we're in a good 1254 01:08:24,520 --> 01:08:26,639 Speaker 1: spot as long as we have the money to get 1255 01:08:26,680 --> 01:08:29,760 Speaker 1: all these messages of voters. We feel like we're gonna 1256 01:08:29,920 --> 01:08:33,400 Speaker 1: We're gonna have Mark next to Laxel. All right, great, 1257 01:08:33,560 --> 01:08:37,360 Speaker 1: Adam Laxell dot com.
