For those of you out there who say, 20 00:01:07,120 --> 00:01:09,120 Speaker 3: why would you pay attention, This is the first interview 21 00:01:09,160 --> 00:01:12,560 Speaker 3: she's done since basically she lost the election. She vanished 22 00:01:13,040 --> 00:01:14,920 Speaker 3: for what are we sitting on now, like seven or 23 00:01:14,959 --> 00:01:18,240 Speaker 3: eight months and now suddenly is showing back up and 24 00:01:18,280 --> 00:01:21,480 Speaker 3: she chooses, of course Colbert as her debut. 25 00:01:22,400 --> 00:01:23,880 Speaker 2: Yes, and it. 26 00:01:23,880 --> 00:01:26,640 Speaker 1: Is such a reminder now, Clay you, I want to 27 00:01:26,640 --> 00:01:29,920 Speaker 1: be clear here, Clave was not saying, and we have 28 00:01:29,959 --> 00:01:32,640 Speaker 1: a steak on this one, and I'm I'm still trying 29 00:01:32,640 --> 00:01:35,880 Speaker 1: to get back the world's most expensive steak that I 30 00:01:35,920 --> 00:01:38,120 Speaker 1: had to buy for Clay, right, so there's got to 31 00:01:38,120 --> 00:01:38,880 Speaker 1: be payback here. 32 00:01:38,920 --> 00:01:39,959 Speaker 2: It was very good and. 33 00:01:39,920 --> 00:01:41,720 Speaker 1: There was a whole light show that went along with it, 34 00:01:41,760 --> 00:01:43,640 Speaker 1: so we had some fun here in Miami Beach. I 35 00:01:43,720 --> 00:01:47,560 Speaker 1: hear about this place, Bourbon Steak in Nashville, which has 36 00:01:47,640 --> 00:01:49,560 Speaker 1: incredible views and is very change. 37 00:01:50,160 --> 00:01:52,520 Speaker 3: To be fair, it's a chain and I'm gonna make 38 00:01:52,640 --> 00:01:56,480 Speaker 3: enemies today. But if you were visiting Nashville and you 39 00:01:56,600 --> 00:02:00,240 Speaker 3: were asking for where to go steakhouse, because it's all 40 00:02:00,280 --> 00:02:02,480 Speaker 3: the way at the top, like forty third story, you 41 00:02:02,520 --> 00:02:05,480 Speaker 3: can see the whole city, I would suggest that that's 42 00:02:05,520 --> 00:02:08,520 Speaker 3: the best steakhouse to go to. I just now, as 43 00:02:08,560 --> 00:02:10,120 Speaker 3: long as it's expensive, as long as you have to 44 00:02:10,160 --> 00:02:13,120 Speaker 3: take out that Clay credit card and we do substantial damage, 45 00:02:13,160 --> 00:02:15,400 Speaker 3: that's what I'm really looking for because I'm still smarting 46 00:02:15,919 --> 00:02:18,760 Speaker 3: over the Miami Beach steak. But to be clear, Clay's 47 00:02:18,800 --> 00:02:20,320 Speaker 3: thinking in a few years. And we're not going to 48 00:02:20,320 --> 00:02:21,960 Speaker 3: get too into the back and forth on this today, 49 00:02:22,040 --> 00:02:25,040 Speaker 3: but we did that yesterday that Kamala is at least 50 00:02:25,080 --> 00:02:28,840 Speaker 3: going to run. Yes, that's not a crazy I think 51 00:02:28,919 --> 00:02:31,320 Speaker 3: that that's not going to happen, but that's obviously our bet. 52 00:02:31,639 --> 00:02:34,240 Speaker 3: I think we both agree if she runs, that's amazing 53 00:02:34,240 --> 00:02:37,200 Speaker 3: for Republican or rather, if she were the nominee and one, 54 00:02:37,280 --> 00:02:39,639 Speaker 3: that would be amazing for Republicans, which means I think 55 00:02:39,639 --> 00:02:42,880 Speaker 3: we both see this as this is one of the 56 00:02:42,919 --> 00:02:46,800 Speaker 3: worst politicians to have been at this level a vice 57 00:02:46,840 --> 00:02:49,160 Speaker 3: president stepping in to run as the nominee that we 58 00:02:49,240 --> 00:02:51,680 Speaker 3: have ever seen. I just wanted to share with some 59 00:02:51,840 --> 00:02:53,959 Speaker 3: of you so Clay and I could could have it 60 00:02:54,040 --> 00:02:57,880 Speaker 3: do a little joy riding here through the Colbert interview. Clay, 61 00:02:58,000 --> 00:02:59,800 Speaker 3: you haven't even heard all of these yet, because some 62 00:02:59,800 --> 00:03:02,919 Speaker 3: of them are from the I wanted to react to them. 63 00:03:03,320 --> 00:03:05,200 Speaker 3: In all honesty, I knew this was going to happen. 64 00:03:05,240 --> 00:03:07,200 Speaker 3: I knew we would lead with it, and I want 65 00:03:07,280 --> 00:03:10,160 Speaker 3: to react as if a lot of you out there 66 00:03:10,240 --> 00:03:12,840 Speaker 3: are two. I have not heard one. I've seen the 67 00:03:12,880 --> 00:03:16,360 Speaker 3: clips circulating, but I purposely did not watch any of 68 00:03:16,400 --> 00:03:18,200 Speaker 3: them because I knew we'd be reacting to them. 69 00:03:18,720 --> 00:03:19,040 Speaker 2: Now. 70 00:03:19,400 --> 00:03:21,000 Speaker 1: I just want to point this, Why did I start 71 00:03:21,040 --> 00:03:22,519 Speaker 1: off today talking about it's a good time for the 72 00:03:22,520 --> 00:03:24,920 Speaker 1: country in it is? I saw the jobs numbers not great. 73 00:03:24,960 --> 00:03:28,040 Speaker 1: I understand it's one month, no big deal. Economy overall 74 00:03:28,400 --> 00:03:31,320 Speaker 1: doing really well, and we'll get into some of those 75 00:03:31,320 --> 00:03:34,240 Speaker 1: specifics here at a moment, but I think it's important 76 00:03:34,240 --> 00:03:37,440 Speaker 1: to remind you all that this person that we're about 77 00:03:37,480 --> 00:03:40,200 Speaker 1: to play the clips from could have been the President 78 00:03:40,280 --> 00:03:43,920 Speaker 1: of the United States, Okay, that we could be sitting 79 00:03:43,960 --> 00:03:49,000 Speaker 1: here talking about President Kamala six months into her administration, 80 00:03:49,680 --> 00:03:54,600 Speaker 1: with a stalled out economy, a wide open border, rising 81 00:03:54,680 --> 00:03:56,920 Speaker 1: crime instead of the drops in crime that we're seeing 82 00:03:57,000 --> 00:03:58,080 Speaker 1: actually nationwide. 83 00:03:58,160 --> 00:03:59,680 Speaker 2: Now, never mind. 84 00:03:59,480 --> 00:04:02,880 Speaker 1: All the the executive orders that that a Harris administration, 85 00:04:03,080 --> 00:04:05,360 Speaker 1: the staffers who actually run it would have not It 86 00:04:05,400 --> 00:04:09,200 Speaker 1: would have been a nightmare. And I just think when 87 00:04:09,280 --> 00:04:13,760 Speaker 1: you start to listen clay to some of these Kamala clips, 88 00:04:14,400 --> 00:04:17,160 Speaker 1: I mean, first of all, we have her saying that 89 00:04:17,200 --> 00:04:20,400 Speaker 1: she's decided not to run for governor because the system 90 00:04:20,680 --> 00:04:21,400 Speaker 1: is broken. 91 00:04:21,600 --> 00:04:24,320 Speaker 2: Clay play cut this has cut five play. 92 00:04:24,120 --> 00:04:30,560 Speaker 4: Five announcement that you're not running for the governor of California. Correct, 93 00:04:30,640 --> 00:04:33,320 Speaker 4: even though in early polling you beat every other Candida 94 00:04:33,360 --> 00:04:34,200 Speaker 4: by double digits. 95 00:04:34,680 --> 00:04:36,920 Speaker 5: You said you're gonna set this one out. 96 00:04:37,480 --> 00:04:38,080 Speaker 2: Why are you sitt this? 97 00:04:38,200 --> 00:04:40,280 Speaker 4: Are you sitting yourself for a different office? 98 00:04:40,320 --> 00:04:40,880 Speaker 6: That might be. 99 00:04:43,400 --> 00:04:48,160 Speaker 4: That's what everybody was obviously, but obviously people will project onto. 100 00:04:48,680 --> 00:04:53,080 Speaker 6: And honestly that it's it's more fats basic than that. 101 00:04:53,320 --> 00:04:54,320 Speaker 5: I am. 102 00:04:54,600 --> 00:04:58,000 Speaker 6: Listen, I am a devout public servant. I have spent 103 00:04:58,080 --> 00:05:03,960 Speaker 6: my entire career in service of the people, and I 104 00:05:04,040 --> 00:05:05,919 Speaker 6: thought a lot about running for governor. 105 00:05:06,000 --> 00:05:07,840 Speaker 5: I love my state. I love California. 106 00:05:08,080 --> 00:05:11,359 Speaker 6: I've served as just elected district attorney, Attorney General, and senator. 107 00:05:12,720 --> 00:05:16,919 Speaker 6: But to be very candid with you, I you know, 108 00:05:16,960 --> 00:05:19,920 Speaker 6: when I was a young young in my career, I 109 00:05:19,960 --> 00:05:22,640 Speaker 6: had to defend my decision to become a prosecutor with 110 00:05:22,720 --> 00:05:23,240 Speaker 6: my family. 111 00:05:24,720 --> 00:05:27,520 Speaker 5: And one of the points that I made is why is. 112 00:05:27,520 --> 00:05:29,600 Speaker 6: It then, when we think we want to improve a 113 00:05:29,720 --> 00:05:33,480 Speaker 6: system or change it, that we're always on the outside 114 00:05:33,480 --> 00:05:35,360 Speaker 6: on Ben Didnee or trying to break down the door. 115 00:05:36,360 --> 00:05:38,680 Speaker 5: Shouldn't we also be inside the system? 116 00:05:40,120 --> 00:05:44,680 Speaker 6: And that has been my career, and recently I made 117 00:05:44,720 --> 00:05:47,360 Speaker 6: the decision that I just for now, I don't want 118 00:05:47,360 --> 00:05:48,280 Speaker 6: to go back in the system. 119 00:05:49,040 --> 00:05:52,799 Speaker 1: I think it's broken, broken because she didn't win Clay, 120 00:05:52,920 --> 00:05:54,039 Speaker 1: That's why it's broken. 121 00:05:55,080 --> 00:06:00,479 Speaker 3: I hate this. I hate this. She's been in the 122 00:06:00,680 --> 00:06:05,440 Speaker 3: system for her entire life. You and I and every 123 00:06:05,520 --> 00:06:11,360 Speaker 3: taxpayer out there has funded Kamala Harris's entire life. Has 124 00:06:11,400 --> 00:06:15,720 Speaker 3: she ever had a private sector job that means taxpayer 125 00:06:15,760 --> 00:06:19,839 Speaker 3: dollars are not funding her existence? I don't think so. 126 00:06:20,120 --> 00:06:22,480 Speaker 3: Maybe when she claims to have worked at McDonald's as 127 00:06:22,520 --> 00:06:27,120 Speaker 3: a teenager, but as an adult she has worked inside 128 00:06:27,320 --> 00:06:32,760 Speaker 3: of the state apparatus at California and then inside of 129 00:06:32,800 --> 00:06:35,800 Speaker 3: the federal government apparatus as a senator and as a 130 00:06:35,920 --> 00:06:39,920 Speaker 3: Vice president. You don't get to work inside of a 131 00:06:40,040 --> 00:06:44,400 Speaker 3: system for thirty years, thirty five years, whatever the heck 132 00:06:44,440 --> 00:06:47,520 Speaker 3: the math is, and then suddenly step outside of it 133 00:06:47,600 --> 00:06:49,400 Speaker 3: for six months and say, hey, I don't want to 134 00:06:49,440 --> 00:06:52,359 Speaker 3: go back into it because it's broken. I think, and 135 00:06:52,400 --> 00:06:55,480 Speaker 3: I said this yesterday, and I am going to die 136 00:06:55,520 --> 00:06:59,400 Speaker 3: on this hill. I think her advisor said it's actually 137 00:06:59,480 --> 00:07:02,200 Speaker 3: a backward step for you to be governor because you've 138 00:07:02,240 --> 00:07:04,920 Speaker 3: already been a senator, you've already been a vice president. 139 00:07:05,279 --> 00:07:08,480 Speaker 3: You don't need to prove anything by being governor. And 140 00:07:08,600 --> 00:07:10,960 Speaker 3: so just take a little bit of time, Just take 141 00:07:11,000 --> 00:07:13,480 Speaker 3: a little bit of time off, and then you can 142 00:07:13,920 --> 00:07:17,840 Speaker 3: decide to run next year, a little bit after next year, 143 00:07:17,880 --> 00:07:20,080 Speaker 3: early twenty seven to be president. 144 00:07:20,320 --> 00:07:21,960 Speaker 1: Well, and if she lost, I think you and I 145 00:07:22,000 --> 00:07:25,040 Speaker 1: agree on this point, if she lost the California governor's race, 146 00:07:26,280 --> 00:07:28,920 Speaker 1: since she really is toast her career, she really is toast. 147 00:07:29,360 --> 00:07:31,960 Speaker 1: I still think that really what I'm seeing here with 148 00:07:32,040 --> 00:07:34,640 Speaker 1: this Colbert appearance. And by the way, this goes to 149 00:07:34,760 --> 00:07:36,320 Speaker 1: for anyone who's gonna say, and we're gonna get the 150 00:07:36,360 --> 00:07:38,320 Speaker 1: emails that momentarily, I'm sure. 151 00:07:38,320 --> 00:07:39,760 Speaker 2: Why are you talking with Kamala Harris. 152 00:07:40,160 --> 00:07:42,480 Speaker 3: Who's the leader of the Democrat Party? 153 00:07:42,680 --> 00:07:46,560 Speaker 1: Who is the leader right now? This matters? And in fact, 154 00:07:46,680 --> 00:07:50,760 Speaker 1: she was asked on the Colbert Show who the leader 155 00:07:50,800 --> 00:07:53,480 Speaker 1: of the Democrat parties? This has cut eight and you 156 00:07:53,600 --> 00:07:55,880 Speaker 1: got a very Kamala answer on this one. 157 00:07:55,920 --> 00:07:57,960 Speaker 4: Listen, who's leaving the Democratic Party? 158 00:07:58,280 --> 00:07:59,000 Speaker 2: I'm just curious. 159 00:07:59,360 --> 00:08:01,800 Speaker 5: Lots of lead and it was generally all. 160 00:08:01,720 --> 00:08:04,680 Speaker 4: Leader of the Democratic Party, you know, like, oh, that's 161 00:08:04,680 --> 00:08:05,640 Speaker 4: the leader Donator party. 162 00:08:05,760 --> 00:08:06,800 Speaker 5: Who comes to mind. 163 00:08:07,240 --> 00:08:09,640 Speaker 6: I think there are a lot of I'm not going 164 00:08:09,680 --> 00:08:11,679 Speaker 6: to go through names because then I'm gonna leave somebody 165 00:08:11,680 --> 00:08:13,720 Speaker 6: out and then I'm going to hear about it. But 166 00:08:13,840 --> 00:08:17,120 Speaker 6: let me just let me say this. I think it 167 00:08:17,280 --> 00:08:22,600 Speaker 6: is a mistake for us who want to figure out 168 00:08:22,760 --> 00:08:25,280 Speaker 6: how to get out and through this and get out 169 00:08:25,320 --> 00:08:29,200 Speaker 6: of it, to put it on the shoulders of any 170 00:08:29,320 --> 00:08:29,920 Speaker 6: one person. 171 00:08:30,040 --> 00:08:31,680 Speaker 5: It's really on all of our shoulders. 172 00:08:33,000 --> 00:08:36,680 Speaker 2: It really is everything that she says. 173 00:08:36,720 --> 00:08:42,600 Speaker 1: Clay sounds like the HR person at the soulless company, 174 00:08:43,800 --> 00:08:46,480 Speaker 1: lecturing you as you're forced to have like an all 175 00:08:46,640 --> 00:08:50,880 Speaker 1: hands for HR purposes. It's all she speaks to everyone 176 00:08:50,960 --> 00:08:54,920 Speaker 1: like we're all morons and no one can escape the boring, 177 00:08:55,559 --> 00:08:56,679 Speaker 1: inane things that she. 178 00:08:56,679 --> 00:08:57,280 Speaker 2: Has to say. 179 00:08:57,840 --> 00:09:02,600 Speaker 3: She is the EI personified. I do think that leave 180 00:09:02,640 --> 00:09:08,200 Speaker 3: aside her individuality, she is THEI personified. She looks like 181 00:09:08,640 --> 00:09:13,560 Speaker 3: what Californians think their leader should look like. That is, 182 00:09:13,679 --> 00:09:16,720 Speaker 3: you know, she's mixed or ace Asian mixtuor ace black 183 00:09:17,160 --> 00:09:23,320 Speaker 3: woman attractive, and she is that sort of portrait on 184 00:09:23,400 --> 00:09:26,640 Speaker 3: the wall of what California wants to see when they 185 00:09:26,679 --> 00:09:31,000 Speaker 3: see a leader, the problem is she really is an 186 00:09:31,040 --> 00:09:35,120 Speaker 3: empty suit. And that's I think largely what many people 187 00:09:35,160 --> 00:09:38,200 Speaker 3: out there have an issue with DEI best man or 188 00:09:38,240 --> 00:09:42,160 Speaker 3: best woman. Right, Let's apply the meritocracy. It doesn't matter 189 00:09:42,200 --> 00:09:44,679 Speaker 3: what your background is, doesn't matter who your daddy or 190 00:09:44,679 --> 00:09:46,840 Speaker 3: and your mommy were. This is why I think the 191 00:09:46,880 --> 00:09:50,480 Speaker 3: sports analogy applies. Nobody gets to start with a different 192 00:09:50,480 --> 00:09:53,680 Speaker 3: score on the scoreboard, right, And I think that that 193 00:09:53,880 --> 00:09:56,760 Speaker 3: is why I'm making this argument in my new book. 194 00:09:56,840 --> 00:09:59,600 Speaker 3: And I'm curious if you could think of something. Is 195 00:09:59,640 --> 00:10:03,200 Speaker 3: there any thing in sports, anything in the world of 196 00:10:03,280 --> 00:10:06,480 Speaker 3: American life right now, that's more trusted than the scoreboard 197 00:10:07,679 --> 00:10:11,120 Speaker 3: where people just and if something's a little bit off, right, 198 00:10:11,160 --> 00:10:13,600 Speaker 3: if somebody forgets to put a run up, or if 199 00:10:13,600 --> 00:10:16,360 Speaker 3: the clock's a little bit off, everybody's pointing at it. 200 00:10:16,360 --> 00:10:20,480 Speaker 3: It's a common foundational thing that everybody looks at it 201 00:10:20,480 --> 00:10:23,040 Speaker 3: and says, I trust that to reflect reality. 202 00:10:23,200 --> 00:10:26,000 Speaker 1: I would like to share some sports analysis here, Yes, 203 00:10:26,000 --> 00:10:28,679 Speaker 1: that would build on what you were saying, And that 204 00:10:28,840 --> 00:10:33,280 Speaker 1: is the desire to always get it right is reflected 205 00:10:33,280 --> 00:10:35,960 Speaker 1: in some of the recent rule changes. I mean to 206 00:10:36,080 --> 00:10:39,760 Speaker 1: me the fact that I can't remember now I should 207 00:10:39,800 --> 00:10:41,839 Speaker 1: know this, but it's either Wimbledon or the French Open. 208 00:10:41,880 --> 00:10:46,080 Speaker 1: In tennis doesn't yet have all of the like for serves, 209 00:10:46,120 --> 00:10:49,480 Speaker 1: it's still by the eye of the by the site 210 00:10:49,559 --> 00:10:53,800 Speaker 1: of the umps. There's actually technology now that can one 211 00:10:53,840 --> 00:10:56,760 Speaker 1: hundred percent get the lasers basically there. 212 00:10:56,800 --> 00:10:58,880 Speaker 3: And they're like this did or did not go in 213 00:10:58,920 --> 00:11:01,000 Speaker 3: They used to work and roll on Garo's back in 214 00:11:01,040 --> 00:11:03,000 Speaker 3: the day. They would look at the clay marks. 215 00:11:03,200 --> 00:11:05,840 Speaker 1: Remember that that judge would get up and look, yeah, 216 00:11:05,880 --> 00:11:09,080 Speaker 1: and you're right, but I see this now. Also in basketball, 217 00:11:09,120 --> 00:11:11,120 Speaker 1: you should drive me insane as someone who used to 218 00:11:11,160 --> 00:11:12,160 Speaker 1: watch the NBA. 219 00:11:12,800 --> 00:11:13,839 Speaker 2: People want it to. 220 00:11:13,880 --> 00:11:18,079 Speaker 1: Be what it should be because they want the better 221 00:11:18,120 --> 00:11:20,840 Speaker 1: team to win every time. They want the truth to 222 00:11:21,040 --> 00:11:24,360 Speaker 1: apply facts to matter. Everyone does, and. 223 00:11:24,960 --> 00:11:26,720 Speaker 2: You see it. It is true. 224 00:11:26,760 --> 00:11:29,280 Speaker 1: You see this with sports where there is a true 225 00:11:29,320 --> 00:11:32,480 Speaker 1: sense of outrage that people. I mean, I'm still outraged 226 00:11:32,480 --> 00:11:34,200 Speaker 1: about when the Los Angeles came. I mean when the 227 00:11:34,440 --> 00:11:37,120 Speaker 1: Sacramento Kings had the LA Lakers steal a series from 228 00:11:37,160 --> 00:11:39,000 Speaker 1: them and the Kings would have won that I think 229 00:11:39,000 --> 00:11:40,320 Speaker 1: this is like twenty years ago now. 230 00:11:40,640 --> 00:11:43,120 Speaker 3: Yeah, was one of the most famous. It's one of 231 00:11:43,160 --> 00:11:48,679 Speaker 3: the most famous Lakers, Lakers, Kings, Volati, Divac, Bibby, all 232 00:11:48,720 --> 00:11:49,280 Speaker 3: those guys. 233 00:11:49,320 --> 00:11:52,720 Speaker 1: Back in the day. That series just kind of fell apart, 234 00:11:53,400 --> 00:11:55,920 Speaker 1: And I think we want to get back to feeling 235 00:11:56,000 --> 00:11:58,600 Speaker 1: in pollend. This goes to election integrity. This goes to 236 00:11:58,640 --> 00:12:02,720 Speaker 1: the honesty of the transparency. We're seeing the whole range 237 00:12:02,760 --> 00:12:05,640 Speaker 1: of things, Russia, collusion everything. We want to know what 238 00:12:05,679 --> 00:12:08,560 Speaker 1: the real scoreboard is in politics too, and what's going 239 00:12:08,640 --> 00:12:12,880 Speaker 1: on here and Kamala Harris coming out to give everybody 240 00:12:12,960 --> 00:12:15,600 Speaker 1: a lecture on how the system is broken after she 241 00:12:15,679 --> 00:12:17,599 Speaker 1: was the vice president for eight years. Why isn't she 242 00:12:17,600 --> 00:12:19,880 Speaker 1: telling us about how she fixed the system or fixes 243 00:12:19,960 --> 00:12:23,079 Speaker 1: she made to the system. No, it's all about bitterness, 244 00:12:23,480 --> 00:12:26,520 Speaker 1: which also goes to Colbert sitting there talk about bitter. 245 00:12:26,679 --> 00:12:29,839 Speaker 1: The whole thing was just so sad. It was two losers, 246 00:12:30,240 --> 00:12:33,760 Speaker 1: Colbert and Kamala, who were given far more than they deserve, 247 00:12:34,480 --> 00:12:37,720 Speaker 1: having a little cry session together because Trump is president. 248 00:12:38,080 --> 00:12:41,760 Speaker 3: Yeah, and I do think the symbolism of Kamala picking 249 00:12:41,760 --> 00:12:46,280 Speaker 3: Colbert as her first Back to the Grind interview to 250 00:12:46,320 --> 00:12:50,560 Speaker 3: the extended to Grind in any way, Colbert, if I 251 00:12:50,559 --> 00:12:54,080 Speaker 3: were sitting in Colbert's chair. I think the math came out. 252 00:12:54,120 --> 00:12:57,120 Speaker 3: They did the deep dive. He had one hundred and 253 00:12:57,240 --> 00:13:00,679 Speaker 3: twenty Democrat guests, and I believe it was zero Republican 254 00:13:00,720 --> 00:13:05,280 Speaker 3: guest sitting in that chair. If you are on CBS 255 00:13:05,400 --> 00:13:08,840 Speaker 3: like that, I don't begrudge Colbert getting Kamala, but he 256 00:13:08,880 --> 00:13:11,000 Speaker 3: should be begging for Trump to come on too, right. 257 00:13:11,160 --> 00:13:12,920 Speaker 3: If that, I don't think a true. 258 00:13:13,040 --> 00:13:16,280 Speaker 1: Arbiter trying to appeal to everybody. We actually, we don't 259 00:13:16,320 --> 00:13:18,000 Speaker 1: have time for it now. Maybe if we want to play, 260 00:13:18,040 --> 00:13:19,920 Speaker 1: we come back. I don't think this again, I only 261 00:13:19,960 --> 00:13:22,360 Speaker 1: watched the extended, but I don't think this part of 262 00:13:22,360 --> 00:13:25,040 Speaker 1: it aired. You should hear what what what Colbert calls 263 00:13:25,480 --> 00:13:28,040 Speaker 1: the sitting president of the United States on his show 264 00:13:28,120 --> 00:13:32,040 Speaker 1: that is supposedly for all Americans to watch. I mean, 265 00:13:32,240 --> 00:13:34,920 Speaker 1: you should hear what he said about President Trump, so 266 00:13:34,920 --> 00:13:37,600 Speaker 1: we can play that for you. What he calls Trump 267 00:13:38,440 --> 00:13:41,720 Speaker 1: on this show, and how richly he deserves the cancelation 268 00:13:41,920 --> 00:13:46,240 Speaker 1: and the humiliation professionally that he has received. But Kamala 269 00:13:46,240 --> 00:13:49,520 Speaker 1: Harris is the most cringe inducing politician to have been 270 00:13:49,559 --> 00:13:51,880 Speaker 1: at her level, meaning the vice president that I can 271 00:13:51,920 --> 00:13:55,520 Speaker 1: remember and it's it's just it's funny to see that 272 00:13:55,559 --> 00:13:57,439 Speaker 1: she's not the leader of the Democrat Party. She may 273 00:13:57,480 --> 00:13:59,600 Speaker 1: not even have a future. We'll see, we'll see, but 274 00:13:59,679 --> 00:14:02,199 Speaker 1: she may not have a future in politics. And there 275 00:14:02,240 --> 00:14:05,440 Speaker 1: is no leader of the Democrat Party, and the Democrats 276 00:14:05,440 --> 00:14:08,600 Speaker 1: co clearly need chalk.

She's a single mom of a special needs child, 339 00:17:24,800 --> 00:17:28,240 Speaker 8: lives not too far from downtown Cincinnati. She wanted to 340 00:17:28,240 --> 00:17:29,879 Speaker 8: have a night out. She hadn't had a night out 341 00:17:29,880 --> 00:17:32,159 Speaker 8: in a long time. You know, for those people who 342 00:17:32,240 --> 00:17:35,080 Speaker 8: have special needs children, they know what this is like. 343 00:17:35,200 --> 00:17:40,200 Speaker 8: It's a all consuming mission of love. So she decided 344 00:17:40,359 --> 00:17:42,000 Speaker 8: she was going to go celebrate a friend of her 345 00:17:42,200 --> 00:17:46,160 Speaker 8: with a friend of hers his sixty second birthday. She's 346 00:17:46,200 --> 00:17:48,640 Speaker 8: a little bit younger than that, but not much. They 347 00:17:48,720 --> 00:17:51,000 Speaker 8: went to downtown Cincinnati. They went to a nice club. 348 00:17:51,000 --> 00:17:53,600 Speaker 8: There's a jazz fest going on, so they participated in 349 00:17:53,640 --> 00:17:56,560 Speaker 8: those activities and went out to a place. As they 350 00:17:56,560 --> 00:17:59,600 Speaker 8: were walking out the door, a gentleman knocked him in 351 00:17:59,640 --> 00:18:02,639 Speaker 8: the head and you saw a brawl that ensued. Now 352 00:18:02,640 --> 00:18:06,879 Speaker 8: I say brawl, probably a mob of fifty people attacked 353 00:18:07,600 --> 00:18:10,960 Speaker 8: this gentleman, knocked them unconscious three times on the ground, 354 00:18:11,040 --> 00:18:14,479 Speaker 8: dragged him by the foot into the middle of the street. Hawley, 355 00:18:15,080 --> 00:18:18,200 Speaker 8: of course, like any woman watching that, tried to stop 356 00:18:18,240 --> 00:18:22,679 Speaker 8: the fight and a complete thug beat her to the 357 00:18:22,920 --> 00:18:26,040 Speaker 8: edge of her life, knocked her down on the ground. 358 00:18:26,119 --> 00:18:28,879 Speaker 8: Her head fell on the ground, she got knocked unconscious. 359 00:18:29,160 --> 00:18:32,440 Speaker 8: When she woke up, as she told me the story, 360 00:18:33,040 --> 00:18:35,439 Speaker 8: all she could think about is just how much blood 361 00:18:35,560 --> 00:18:41,400 Speaker 8: she saw me, just completely drenched with blood all over her. Finally, 362 00:18:41,440 --> 00:18:46,040 Speaker 8: towards the end, one police officer came over. The mob scattered. 363 00:18:46,640 --> 00:18:49,280 Speaker 8: The police didn't do much of a report, you know, 364 00:18:49,320 --> 00:18:53,119 Speaker 8: the Society police unfortunately completely overwhelmed. They're down anywhere between 365 00:18:53,119 --> 00:18:56,080 Speaker 8: one hundred and three hundred officers. She went home in 366 00:18:56,080 --> 00:19:00,159 Speaker 8: an uber, then got an ambulance that didn't go to 367 00:19:00,200 --> 00:19:03,639 Speaker 8: the hospital, no police report. Literally got on her phone, 368 00:19:03,680 --> 00:19:05,320 Speaker 8: called in uber and went home. Of course, when she 369 00:19:05,400 --> 00:19:08,560 Speaker 8: got home, realized that the severity of her injuries, went to 370 00:19:08,600 --> 00:19:13,400 Speaker 8: the hospital and has had suffering from breathing problems, from 371 00:19:13,520 --> 00:19:16,720 Speaker 8: cognitive issues. Again, this is a lady who's literally this 372 00:19:16,760 --> 00:19:19,080 Speaker 8: is attempted murder. There's really no other way to say 373 00:19:19,080 --> 00:19:20,879 Speaker 8: that she was knocked within an inch of her life. 374 00:19:21,119 --> 00:19:25,320 Speaker 8: And here's what's most distressing about this. You and I 375 00:19:25,400 --> 00:19:27,840 Speaker 8: understand tolls online and people online say all kinds of 376 00:19:27,880 --> 00:19:29,440 Speaker 8: stupid things, but I'm going to talk to you about 377 00:19:29,480 --> 00:19:33,639 Speaker 8: the leadership of the community, the political leadership. The congressman 378 00:19:33,680 --> 00:19:36,840 Speaker 8: for that area, Greg Landsman, didn't make any comments about this. 379 00:19:36,960 --> 00:19:40,040 Speaker 8: Instead was tweeting about why we should send more money 380 00:19:40,040 --> 00:19:43,040 Speaker 8: to Ukraine. Now, however you may feel about Ukraine, when 381 00:19:43,040 --> 00:19:45,719 Speaker 8: your citizens are viciously attacked like that, I think that 382 00:19:45,720 --> 00:19:48,200 Speaker 8: takes priority, at least I think it should. The mayor 383 00:19:48,600 --> 00:19:52,800 Speaker 8: had gone to a Mayor's Misfit a conference of misfit 384 00:19:52,840 --> 00:19:55,879 Speaker 8: mayors up in Cleveland, and then went to Canada on vacation. 385 00:19:56,040 --> 00:19:58,560 Speaker 8: Didn't come back until yesterday. This thing happened last Friday night. 386 00:19:59,119 --> 00:20:02,320 Speaker 8: The vice mayor make a statement till yesterday, and basically 387 00:20:02,359 --> 00:20:04,120 Speaker 8: her statement was leave us alone, we don't have any 388 00:20:04,160 --> 00:20:07,320 Speaker 8: help or get here. The chief of police blamed social 389 00:20:07,359 --> 00:20:10,560 Speaker 8: media instead of acknowledging that they're down one hundred and 390 00:20:10,600 --> 00:20:13,640 Speaker 8: three hundred officers and said that the whole story wasn't 391 00:20:13,680 --> 00:20:16,040 Speaker 8: exactly told. I'm not sure what other story you want 392 00:20:16,080 --> 00:20:17,879 Speaker 8: to know, other than you had a middleaged woman that 393 00:20:17,960 --> 00:20:21,399 Speaker 8: got the crap keep out of her. Then a city 394 00:20:21,520 --> 00:20:26,399 Speaker 8: council member, Victoria Parks, remember that name, Victoria Parks. She 395 00:20:26,520 --> 00:20:29,520 Speaker 8: went on social media and said they deserved the beating 396 00:20:29,880 --> 00:20:34,000 Speaker 8: they got. You heard that right, that this middleaged woman 397 00:20:34,119 --> 00:20:36,520 Speaker 8: who did nothing other than try to stop a mob 398 00:20:36,560 --> 00:20:40,160 Speaker 8: from killing her friend and got the life almost taken 399 00:20:40,200 --> 00:20:44,359 Speaker 8: away from her, got the beating she deserved. The judge 400 00:20:45,440 --> 00:20:49,520 Speaker 8: Mallory had set the guy who beat her up. He 401 00:20:49,560 --> 00:20:52,240 Speaker 8: had been in front of that judge a few a 402 00:20:52,240 --> 00:20:54,959 Speaker 8: few weeks earlier for all kinds of gun charges, led 403 00:20:55,040 --> 00:20:58,800 Speaker 8: them off on a four hundred dollars bail. This is 404 00:21:00,320 --> 00:21:05,119 Speaker 8: to bottom system failure in the Cincinnati political leadership. I've 405 00:21:05,480 --> 00:21:08,359 Speaker 8: told them they have thirty days to put together a 406 00:21:08,359 --> 00:21:11,719 Speaker 8: plan to protect the civil rights of their citizens, staff 407 00:21:11,800 --> 00:21:15,200 Speaker 8: the police properly, and come up with a safety plan 408 00:21:15,240 --> 00:21:17,359 Speaker 8: for their citizens. And if they don't do that in 409 00:21:17,400 --> 00:21:21,280 Speaker 8: the next thirty days, the only tool I have is 410 00:21:21,359 --> 00:21:24,240 Speaker 8: to ask the pussy the United States to suspend federal 411 00:21:24,280 --> 00:21:27,040 Speaker 8: funding to that city until they do. Now, of course, 412 00:21:27,080 --> 00:21:29,520 Speaker 8: the citizens have to do the long term work, which 413 00:21:29,560 --> 00:21:31,879 Speaker 8: is to get rid of these morons and replace the 414 00:21:32,160 --> 00:21:34,639 Speaker 8: top to bottom. 415 00:21:34,800 --> 00:21:36,880 Speaker 3: That's an incredible story, and I want to make sure 416 00:21:36,880 --> 00:21:39,840 Speaker 3: our team clips it because I think you illustrated it 417 00:21:39,880 --> 00:21:42,840 Speaker 3: all so very well. We're talking to Senator Bernie Marino, 418 00:21:43,160 --> 00:21:47,840 Speaker 3: who is discussing what happened in Cincinnati. Holly, you shared 419 00:21:47,880 --> 00:21:52,640 Speaker 3: her photos. I want everybody to see them, and so 420 00:21:53,280 --> 00:21:55,600 Speaker 3: I have retweeted it. Let's make sure that the Clay 421 00:21:55,600 --> 00:21:58,320 Speaker 3: and Bucks social feed. They're brutal to look at. But 422 00:21:58,680 --> 00:22:01,680 Speaker 3: to your point, the fact that a police officer let 423 00:22:01,680 --> 00:22:06,359 Speaker 3: her get into an uber and after what happened to 424 00:22:06,400 --> 00:22:11,960 Speaker 3: her is staggering to me. I am somewhat encouraged. Jd 425 00:22:12,080 --> 00:22:14,240 Speaker 3: Vance has spoken out about this. I believe he lives 426 00:22:14,280 --> 00:22:18,760 Speaker 3: in Cincinnati. The veak Ramaswami aggressively has spoken out about this. 427 00:22:18,800 --> 00:22:21,600 Speaker 3: I know he's running for governor. You are speaking out 428 00:22:21,640 --> 00:22:25,920 Speaker 3: aggressively about this, and it sounds like a lot of citizens, 429 00:22:26,359 --> 00:22:32,119 Speaker 3: including restaurant groups. I saw the local downtown restaurant group, 430 00:22:32,520 --> 00:22:35,840 Speaker 3: the Ruby Conglomerate, and I think they have a great steakhouse. 431 00:22:35,960 --> 00:22:37,560 Speaker 3: I know they've got one in Nashville. They got him 432 00:22:37,560 --> 00:22:40,040 Speaker 3: all over the place. But it sounds like citizens are 433 00:22:40,160 --> 00:22:44,280 Speaker 3: using this viral incident as evidence that they're fed up 434 00:22:44,480 --> 00:22:47,320 Speaker 3: with what's been allowed to take place in Cincinnati. And 435 00:22:47,359 --> 00:22:50,440 Speaker 3: I think this is a sort of a larger, smaller 436 00:22:50,480 --> 00:22:52,960 Speaker 3: story of Cincinnati. But I think every city in America 437 00:22:53,119 --> 00:22:55,680 Speaker 3: has a story like this, which is why it's caught 438 00:22:55,680 --> 00:22:56,359 Speaker 3: so much fire. 439 00:22:57,520 --> 00:22:59,200 Speaker 8: Yeah, you're exactly right. I think this is a moment 440 00:22:59,280 --> 00:23:02,040 Speaker 8: where we say not enough. We're not just going to 441 00:23:02,119 --> 00:23:04,720 Speaker 8: continue to move out in the suburbs of rural America 442 00:23:04,800 --> 00:23:07,200 Speaker 8: to have law and order. We're going to take back 443 00:23:07,200 --> 00:23:10,639 Speaker 8: our great American cities. You see the Mandami movement, I 444 00:23:10,760 --> 00:23:14,480 Speaker 8: call it on the other side, which is lawlessness, defunding 445 00:23:14,520 --> 00:23:20,440 Speaker 8: the police, all kinds of insane communist policies. And I think, honestly, 446 00:23:20,680 --> 00:23:23,639 Speaker 8: as conservatives, by the way, as just normal Americans, we 447 00:23:23,720 --> 00:23:26,800 Speaker 8: gotta say no, I'm sorry, We're not going to relinquish 448 00:23:27,040 --> 00:23:30,920 Speaker 8: our great American cities to these lawless mobs, and we're 449 00:23:30,920 --> 00:23:33,480 Speaker 8: gonna take our cities back. And for me, that is 450 00:23:33,560 --> 00:23:37,720 Speaker 8: restoring Cincinnati, the greatness, Columbus, Cleveland, Toledo, Dayton, these are 451 00:23:37,760 --> 00:23:40,879 Speaker 8: cities that have been completely mismanaged for decades. You know, 452 00:23:40,920 --> 00:23:43,840 Speaker 8: my wife is from near Chicago. She used to love 453 00:23:43,960 --> 00:23:47,679 Speaker 8: going to Chicago. After watching that video, my wife is 454 00:23:47,680 --> 00:23:51,840 Speaker 8: about Holly's age. If that happened to me and my wife, 455 00:23:52,400 --> 00:23:55,480 Speaker 8: I can't even imagine what this would be fuel would 456 00:23:55,480 --> 00:23:57,760 Speaker 8: it if that was your mom, what would you feel 457 00:23:57,760 --> 00:23:59,560 Speaker 8: like if that happened to her? And then I'll give 458 00:23:59,560 --> 00:24:02,320 Speaker 8: you one more wrinkle to the story that's happening as 459 00:24:02,359 --> 00:24:05,440 Speaker 8: I speak to you right now. The police Department, now 460 00:24:05,480 --> 00:24:07,640 Speaker 8: they deny that they did. The New York Posts says 461 00:24:07,680 --> 00:24:11,000 Speaker 8: they did. They claimed that Holly is a Russian national 462 00:24:11,040 --> 00:24:14,480 Speaker 8: that fled back to her country because of course Russia, Russia, Russia. 463 00:24:14,600 --> 00:24:17,520 Speaker 8: Holly was born and raised in Ohio, has no ties, 464 00:24:17,600 --> 00:24:20,760 Speaker 8: She's Germanic background, has no as are a lot of 465 00:24:20,800 --> 00:24:23,000 Speaker 8: people there have nothing to do with Russia. But you 466 00:24:23,040 --> 00:24:27,119 Speaker 8: see how they're trying to disparage her and the mob 467 00:24:27,359 --> 00:24:30,960 Speaker 8: angry machine on the Democrats side. These are evil, horrible people. 468 00:24:31,160 --> 00:24:33,919 Speaker 8: And I said to the chief of police, I actually 469 00:24:33,920 --> 00:24:35,800 Speaker 8: told my team to tell her I have no interest 470 00:24:35,800 --> 00:24:39,000 Speaker 8: in talking to her until they correct that record. Because 471 00:24:39,040 --> 00:24:41,639 Speaker 8: the New York Times ran a story the headline was 472 00:24:41,720 --> 00:24:45,000 Speaker 8: Russian woman attacked. It's not a Russian woman, It's an 473 00:24:45,000 --> 00:24:51,119 Speaker 8: American citizen that was brutally attacked, an innocent person. I 474 00:24:51,280 --> 00:24:54,800 Speaker 8: was on with another friend of yours earlier and he 475 00:24:54,840 --> 00:24:56,640 Speaker 8: wanted to start a goal fund me pages that please 476 00:24:56,640 --> 00:24:59,520 Speaker 8: don't do that without Holly's permission. I called Holly just 477 00:24:59,520 --> 00:25:02,600 Speaker 8: this morning and she said, I really don't want anybody 478 00:25:02,680 --> 00:25:05,359 Speaker 8: doing that for me. This is somebody who just wanted 479 00:25:05,480 --> 00:25:09,160 Speaker 8: She's just an normal American wants to live a good life. 480 00:25:10,080 --> 00:25:12,960 Speaker 8: And the idea that they even attempt to villify it. 481 00:25:13,000 --> 00:25:15,600 Speaker 8: I called Jake Tapper on Sunday. I asked Jake Tapper 482 00:25:15,600 --> 00:25:17,960 Speaker 8: to cover the story. He said he'd look into it. 483 00:25:18,160 --> 00:25:19,920 Speaker 8: Silence from CNN. Silence. 484 00:25:20,000 --> 00:25:22,280 Speaker 1: Well, of course, by the way, that's a you called 485 00:25:22,320 --> 00:25:24,840 Speaker 1: Jake Tapper to cover this story. Let me tell you, 486 00:25:25,000 --> 00:25:28,560 Speaker 1: Sanatra Marino uh covering the story, that's a waste of 487 00:25:28,560 --> 00:25:29,280 Speaker 1: your phone call. 488 00:25:29,320 --> 00:25:30,119 Speaker 2: I've known Tapper. 489 00:25:30,960 --> 00:25:34,480 Speaker 3: Is interesting to point out because if you flip the 490 00:25:34,600 --> 00:25:37,080 Speaker 3: races here in any way, it would be the number 491 00:25:37,080 --> 00:25:40,040 Speaker 3: one story in America. We'd be having a national conversation 492 00:25:40,160 --> 00:25:42,760 Speaker 3: about white supremacy and how unsafe it is for black 493 00:25:42,760 --> 00:25:45,760 Speaker 3: people to go anywhere in this country. And the fact 494 00:25:45,760 --> 00:25:48,000 Speaker 3: that you got a mom of a special needs kid 495 00:25:48,000 --> 00:25:50,160 Speaker 3: getting knocked out in the streets of Cincinnati, it does 496 00:25:50,200 --> 00:25:52,560 Speaker 3: say something that's CNN and MSNBC just yeah. 497 00:25:52,720 --> 00:25:54,680 Speaker 1: I mean, there's also there's no we all saw the 498 00:25:54,760 --> 00:25:56,480 Speaker 1: video the woman getting attacked. 499 00:25:57,040 --> 00:25:57,480 Speaker 2: She's doing. 500 00:25:57,520 --> 00:25:59,359 Speaker 1: She's just trying to stop somebody from being beaten to 501 00:25:59,400 --> 00:26:01,160 Speaker 1: death in the street and then punch her in the face. 502 00:26:01,160 --> 00:26:05,119 Speaker 1: It's such a vicious and criminal thing to do, felony, 503 00:26:05,200 --> 00:26:07,720 Speaker 1: criminal thing to do. Where's Governor de Wine on this, 504 00:26:07,840 --> 00:26:08,480 Speaker 1: Center Marino? 505 00:26:08,640 --> 00:26:10,040 Speaker 2: What's up with him? 506 00:26:10,320 --> 00:26:13,200 Speaker 8: So the governor has offered This is even crazier part 507 00:26:13,240 --> 00:26:16,199 Speaker 8: of the story. So the governor offered the City of 508 00:26:16,240 --> 00:26:20,760 Speaker 8: Cincinnati state highway patrols all kinds of assets, different task 509 00:26:20,800 --> 00:26:25,720 Speaker 8: forces that he can bear, that bring to bear for Cincinnati. 510 00:26:25,880 --> 00:26:28,000 Speaker 8: No charge. By the way, say, look, the state will 511 00:26:28,000 --> 00:26:31,120 Speaker 8: provide this. We won't charge you a cent. The Vice 512 00:26:31,119 --> 00:26:34,359 Speaker 8: mayor turned it all down, and then the mayor overrode her, 513 00:26:34,400 --> 00:26:36,119 Speaker 8: and they took just a piece of it, which is 514 00:26:36,240 --> 00:26:40,320 Speaker 8: just this the troopers doing traffic routine, traffic stops. But 515 00:26:40,400 --> 00:26:42,400 Speaker 8: this was the Mayor's like, we don't need any help. 516 00:26:42,440 --> 00:26:42,800 Speaker 8: We're good. 517 00:26:43,440 --> 00:26:46,040 Speaker 1: So Governor de Wine wants to help, and they don't 518 00:26:46,040 --> 00:26:47,280 Speaker 1: want the help like they've got. 519 00:26:47,280 --> 00:26:49,359 Speaker 8: They don't want to help. Great, and what's happened as 520 00:26:49,359 --> 00:26:52,320 Speaker 8: a result, two big conventions have been canceled this week 521 00:26:52,320 --> 00:26:56,840 Speaker 8: in Cincinnati. One company's leaving downtown. We again, we can't 522 00:26:56,920 --> 00:26:59,719 Speaker 8: let this happen. We can't let our cities just just 523 00:26:59,800 --> 00:27:03,080 Speaker 8: be taken over by these lunatics. And by the way, 524 00:27:03,160 --> 00:27:06,320 Speaker 8: this is about the destruction of America. Let's just be 525 00:27:06,400 --> 00:27:09,600 Speaker 8: clear about that. This isn't about just Hally. This is 526 00:27:09,960 --> 00:27:13,000 Speaker 8: a pattern of destruction of our country, starting with our 527 00:27:13,000 --> 00:27:16,000 Speaker 8: big cities, and we have to take those cities back. 528 00:27:16,320 --> 00:27:18,120 Speaker 8: And that's why I'm on this story. That's why we'll 529 00:27:18,119 --> 00:27:21,800 Speaker 8: be relentless on this story, because we cannot just turn 530 00:27:21,840 --> 00:27:24,000 Speaker 8: the other way and say, well, yeah, New York and 531 00:27:24,080 --> 00:27:27,080 Speaker 8: so is Chicago, and oh well no, we're going to 532 00:27:27,160 --> 00:27:29,000 Speaker 8: take these cities back. We's what President Trump has done 533 00:27:29,000 --> 00:27:32,439 Speaker 8: here in Washington, d C. This is becoming a different 534 00:27:32,440 --> 00:27:34,520 Speaker 8: place because President Trump has said, I'm not putting up 535 00:27:34,560 --> 00:27:36,959 Speaker 8: with it. This should be a shining city. This is 536 00:27:37,160 --> 00:27:39,920 Speaker 8: our nation's capital and it's not going to be disgraced 537 00:27:40,280 --> 00:27:41,560 Speaker 8: by moronic leaders. 538 00:27:42,040 --> 00:27:46,320 Speaker 3: Bernie, you mentioned the disaster. I thought press conference from 539 00:27:46,440 --> 00:27:50,479 Speaker 3: Cincinnati's sheriff for the person who's in charge in theory 540 00:27:50,520 --> 00:27:54,399 Speaker 3: of protecting the people of Cincinnati, what in the world 541 00:27:54,440 --> 00:27:56,720 Speaker 3: are they even saying when she said, oh, we don't 542 00:27:56,720 --> 00:27:59,040 Speaker 3: have the full context of the video. Buck and I 543 00:27:59,119 --> 00:28:01,280 Speaker 3: came on and talked about this. I don't know what 544 00:28:01,320 --> 00:28:04,000 Speaker 3: context you need to see to know that twenty dudes 545 00:28:04,040 --> 00:28:06,959 Speaker 3: trying to beat up one other guy is not in 546 00:28:07,000 --> 00:28:10,080 Speaker 3: any way or I mean, this is not self defense, 547 00:28:10,200 --> 00:28:12,760 Speaker 3: this is not it no matter what happened. Have they 548 00:28:12,840 --> 00:28:16,439 Speaker 3: even tried to contextualize that and say what she was 549 00:28:16,480 --> 00:28:20,159 Speaker 3: even attempting to explain? Do we have any idea? 550 00:28:20,240 --> 00:28:21,919 Speaker 8: Well, what she's trying to do is just brush it 551 00:28:21,920 --> 00:28:24,159 Speaker 8: all under the carpet, right. She's not explaining why she 552 00:28:24,200 --> 00:28:26,600 Speaker 8: didn't get called into an ambulance and taken to a 553 00:28:26,640 --> 00:28:29,520 Speaker 8: hospital immediately, why there weren't cops on the scene, And 554 00:28:29,560 --> 00:28:31,880 Speaker 8: the answer is because she has to then admit they're 555 00:28:31,920 --> 00:28:33,960 Speaker 8: down anywhere between one hundred and ten to three hundred 556 00:28:33,960 --> 00:28:36,280 Speaker 8: police officers, And how do you let that happen? How 557 00:28:36,280 --> 00:28:38,400 Speaker 8: do you how are you a leader of a police department, 558 00:28:38,440 --> 00:28:40,920 Speaker 8: a police chief in a major American city and you 559 00:28:41,200 --> 00:28:43,920 Speaker 8: and you're down one hundred and three hundred officers? This 560 00:28:44,000 --> 00:28:47,719 Speaker 8: is this is insanity. And then to disparage the victim, 561 00:28:47,800 --> 00:28:49,600 Speaker 8: by the way, there's no context you need for Holly. 562 00:28:49,960 --> 00:28:52,560 Speaker 8: Holly's a middle aged woman that almost. 563 00:28:52,240 --> 00:28:53,960 Speaker 3: Got murdered by a mob totally. 564 00:28:54,400 --> 00:28:58,720 Speaker 8: Yeah, right, So there's no context needed, that's it. So look, 565 00:28:58,760 --> 00:29:01,560 Speaker 8: the chief is a mess. We need a top to 566 00:29:01,680 --> 00:29:06,040 Speaker 8: bottom flushing out of political leaders there people just care 567 00:29:06,080 --> 00:29:08,440 Speaker 8: about one. It's very simple. This isn't a complicated thing. 568 00:29:08,640 --> 00:29:10,600 Speaker 8: When you get elected, your job is to ensure the 569 00:29:10,640 --> 00:29:13,600 Speaker 8: safety and prosperity of your citizens. That's it. That's all 570 00:29:13,640 --> 00:29:15,920 Speaker 8: you have to do. And this is the opposite of that. 571 00:29:16,080 --> 00:29:20,800 Speaker 8: It's sad because look again, Cincinnati is an amazing, great place. 572 00:29:21,600 --> 00:29:25,800 Speaker 8: We have all kinds of incredible assets there with incredible people, 573 00:29:26,040 --> 00:29:28,640 Speaker 8: and they just deserve better. And these leaders that just 574 00:29:28,680 --> 00:29:34,160 Speaker 8: camemagine the mayors in Canada. In Canada flipped the stript 575 00:29:34,640 --> 00:29:38,400 Speaker 8: and was there any context that George Floyd, was there 576 00:29:38,400 --> 00:29:43,040 Speaker 8: any conversations about maybe this or maybe that one? In reality, 577 00:29:43,160 --> 00:29:45,240 Speaker 8: there needed to be a lot more conversation there, but 578 00:29:45,480 --> 00:29:48,520 Speaker 8: said that caused their entire country to have our cities 579 00:29:48,520 --> 00:29:51,080 Speaker 8: burned down. And here it's like, well, it doesn't fit 580 00:29:51,120 --> 00:29:54,080 Speaker 8: our narrative. Jake Tapper would become a citizen of Cincinnati 581 00:29:54,640 --> 00:29:57,800 Speaker 8: if the races were flipped. He'd be broadcasting their live 582 00:29:57,880 --> 00:29:58,520 Speaker 8: for tenny years. 583 00:30:00,120 --> 00:30:02,800 Speaker 3: Crime in your mind, based on what you've seen. Do 584 00:30:02,800 --> 00:30:04,840 Speaker 3: you think race played in? We got to go quickly, 585 00:30:04,920 --> 00:30:06,280 Speaker 3: But I'm just curious. 586 00:30:06,720 --> 00:30:08,800 Speaker 8: She thinks it did. You know, I wasn't there, whether 587 00:30:09,000 --> 00:30:11,840 Speaker 8: she feels definitely that it did. That they were one 588 00:30:11,880 --> 00:30:14,640 Speaker 8: hundred percent targeted. They think it was a setup. That's 589 00:30:14,680 --> 00:30:17,480 Speaker 8: why they think so many cameras are there. I don't 590 00:30:17,560 --> 00:30:21,480 Speaker 8: know about that. You know, Cash Betel and Attorney General 591 00:30:21,520 --> 00:30:25,000 Speaker 8: Pam Bondi and Harvey Dyllon are going to be leading 592 00:30:25,000 --> 00:30:27,480 Speaker 8: an investigation there, so they're going to answer those questions. 593 00:30:27,520 --> 00:30:30,520 Speaker 8: All I know is a middle aged woman from Ohio 594 00:30:30,640 --> 00:30:32,680 Speaker 8: should be able to go to dinner in Cincinnati and 595 00:30:32,720 --> 00:30:34,400 Speaker 8: not get beaten to death.

I mentioned that 635 00:32:34,240 --> 00:32:37,680 Speaker 3: we would be talking to another senator. He's joining us now, 636 00:32:37,720 --> 00:32:40,960 Speaker 3: Mark Wayne Mullen, Senator. Appreciate you joining us. I think 637 00:32:41,000 --> 00:32:43,280 Speaker 3: the last time I saw you was pretty awesome. Event 638 00:32:43,640 --> 00:32:48,400 Speaker 3: was the NCAA Wrestling Championships. President Trump was there. It 639 00:32:48,640 --> 00:32:51,760 Speaker 3: was incredible in Philadelphia, so it was good to meet 640 00:32:51,800 --> 00:32:57,360 Speaker 3: you in person. There. There's a huge back bottleneck right 641 00:32:57,400 --> 00:33:01,200 Speaker 3: now inside of the Senate, one hundred and fifty different 642 00:33:01,280 --> 00:33:05,000 Speaker 3: some odd nominations being held up. What's the latest there 643 00:33:05,400 --> 00:33:08,280 Speaker 3: and what should happen in your mind with that bottleneck? 644 00:33:08,480 --> 00:33:10,560 Speaker 9: Well, yeah, I wanted to talk about that because I 645 00:33:10,680 --> 00:33:13,280 Speaker 9: just want to point out something the Democrats always talk about, diversity. 646 00:33:13,280 --> 00:33:15,440 Speaker 9: But I want to talk about the diversity inside the 647 00:33:15,480 --> 00:33:18,560 Speaker 9: inside the Republican commerce. I mean, just look at the 648 00:33:18,560 --> 00:33:22,160 Speaker 9: difference the way that Bernie and I are built. I mean, 649 00:33:22,200 --> 00:33:26,600 Speaker 9: Bernie is built like a tech guy and I'm built 650 00:33:26,640 --> 00:33:29,479 Speaker 9: like an athlete. See, there's a big diversity between the two. 651 00:33:29,480 --> 00:33:32,280 Speaker 9: I mean, if you know Bernie, I mean he's he's 652 00:33:32,280 --> 00:33:35,080 Speaker 9: a car salesman, and you know I was. I was 653 00:33:35,120 --> 00:33:38,520 Speaker 9: a plumber. But if you also also know that he 654 00:33:38,520 --> 00:33:41,440 Speaker 9: he Bernie could become professional in one sport. By the way, 655 00:33:41,640 --> 00:33:44,800 Speaker 9: you're not fighting, obviously, he's probably one of the best 656 00:33:44,800 --> 00:33:47,920 Speaker 9: pickleball players I've ever played against. 657 00:33:48,120 --> 00:33:50,000 Speaker 3: What is his strength? On about? You know? By the way, 658 00:33:50,040 --> 00:33:52,000 Speaker 3: I played pickleball for the first time ever. My wife 659 00:33:52,080 --> 00:33:55,440 Speaker 3: Laura got me out there. We had a good time. Yeah, 660 00:33:55,520 --> 00:33:57,720 Speaker 3: what's his what's his strength as a pickleball player? 661 00:33:58,440 --> 00:34:02,480 Speaker 9: He is very size with his hits, and he can 662 00:34:02,520 --> 00:34:06,080 Speaker 9: get more spin and lift off the ball that I've 663 00:34:06,120 --> 00:34:08,880 Speaker 9: ever seen. He is. He is a technician when it 664 00:34:08,880 --> 00:34:11,359 Speaker 9: comes to it, and it drives me freaking. He will 665 00:34:11,400 --> 00:34:13,680 Speaker 9: make me run all over court and he won't move 666 00:34:13,719 --> 00:34:17,160 Speaker 9: two steps and it makes me so mad. In the matter, 667 00:34:17,200 --> 00:34:18,799 Speaker 9: you get it, pick a ball, the worse you get, 668 00:34:18,880 --> 00:34:20,440 Speaker 9: and that is not my street. 669 00:34:20,160 --> 00:34:20,720 Speaker 8: Of a sports. 670 00:34:21,360 --> 00:34:22,680 Speaker 3: That's really funny. 671 00:34:23,480 --> 00:34:23,920 Speaker 2: Sew that up. 672 00:34:24,440 --> 00:34:27,400 Speaker 9: So the bottleneck. So dealing with the bottleneck, we have 673 00:34:27,480 --> 00:34:30,440 Speaker 9: a unique situation going on right now, is you know, 674 00:34:30,480 --> 00:34:32,080 Speaker 9: and I just want to thowt some numbers out there 675 00:34:32,120 --> 00:34:36,399 Speaker 9: to you. In Bush forty one, ninety eight percent of 676 00:34:36,440 --> 00:34:39,319 Speaker 9: his civilian nominees, which is ninety nine percent of the 677 00:34:39,320 --> 00:34:42,879 Speaker 9: nominees we do, ninety eight percent went by either UC 678 00:34:43,040 --> 00:34:46,959 Speaker 9: which is unanimous consent or a voice vote I meaning 679 00:34:47,000 --> 00:34:49,040 Speaker 9: that the Senate actually never had to take a vote 680 00:34:49,040 --> 00:34:52,759 Speaker 9: on it, and it speeds a process up. In Obama 681 00:34:53,239 --> 00:34:57,000 Speaker 9: or Clinton, I'm sorry, ninety eight percent of his nominees 682 00:34:57,160 --> 00:35:00,919 Speaker 9: also went through my voice volt or a nineymous Ernie 683 00:35:01,080 --> 00:35:05,000 Speaker 9: Bush forty three, ninety percent of his went through. Ninety 684 00:35:05,040 --> 00:35:08,560 Speaker 9: percent of Obama's went through. And then when Trump came in, 685 00:35:08,960 --> 00:35:11,720 Speaker 9: that's when this first term, that's when the bottleneck happened. 686 00:35:12,320 --> 00:35:14,920 Speaker 9: And so this time last year or this time in 687 00:35:14,960 --> 00:35:18,960 Speaker 9: twenty seventeen, there was only fifty five nominees that Trump 688 00:35:18,960 --> 00:35:23,600 Speaker 9: had got through. Now we have already confirmed one hundred 689 00:35:23,760 --> 00:35:27,959 Speaker 9: and twenty one nominees. But this is the first time 690 00:35:28,400 --> 00:35:32,160 Speaker 9: in history in history that a president of the United 691 00:35:32,200 --> 00:35:37,239 Speaker 9: States has not had one single nominee go by unanimous 692 00:35:37,239 --> 00:35:41,600 Speaker 9: consent or voice vote. In fact, the only nominee that 693 00:35:41,680 --> 00:35:46,719 Speaker 9: hasn't been philibustered is Marco Rubio and that was our 694 00:35:46,840 --> 00:35:50,280 Speaker 9: very first one. Every since then, they had literally philibustered 695 00:35:50,840 --> 00:35:55,200 Speaker 9: every single nominee, which is why we had this bottleneck. 696 00:35:55,440 --> 00:35:57,120 Speaker 9: But we're still we still have one hundred and twenty 697 00:35:57,160 --> 00:35:59,359 Speaker 9: one compared to President Trump's first term for fifty five. 698 00:35:59,440 --> 00:36:02,120 Speaker 9: So has done really good at saying we're going to 699 00:36:02,160 --> 00:36:04,239 Speaker 9: do this a hard way or the or the easy way. 700 00:36:04,680 --> 00:36:07,200 Speaker 9: And that's why this Congress has voted more times than 701 00:36:07,239 --> 00:36:10,400 Speaker 9: any Congress in three hundred or the last thirty five years, 702 00:36:10,800 --> 00:36:14,200 Speaker 9: because we're having to take it takes four votes per 703 00:36:14,320 --> 00:36:18,040 Speaker 9: nominee to get him confirmed. And that's crazy if you 704 00:36:18,080 --> 00:36:20,120 Speaker 9: think about that, because we have to vote to go 705 00:36:20,200 --> 00:36:22,040 Speaker 9: in and out of session, meaning we got to go 706 00:36:22,040 --> 00:36:26,359 Speaker 9: from legislation session to executive session. We got to vote 707 00:36:26,360 --> 00:36:28,800 Speaker 9: to in vote culture, we got to vote to end culture, 708 00:36:28,800 --> 00:36:30,960 Speaker 9: and then we got to vote on the nominee. So 709 00:36:31,400 --> 00:36:34,799 Speaker 9: it is it's a it's a it's a long process, 710 00:36:34,920 --> 00:36:40,160 Speaker 9: and underneath the current process, it's it's impossible to do 711 00:36:41,080 --> 00:36:43,040 Speaker 9: if you do it all in one day, if you 712 00:36:43,080 --> 00:36:44,920 Speaker 9: take every one of those votes every every day it's 713 00:36:44,920 --> 00:36:47,200 Speaker 9: in it's almost impossible to do more than to a day. 714 00:36:49,040 --> 00:36:52,120 Speaker 1: So what should happen now, Sender? What what do you 715 00:36:52,160 --> 00:36:54,960 Speaker 1: want to see to break the log jam? We've had 716 00:36:54,960 --> 00:36:56,719 Speaker 1: a few of your colleagues on talking about this. I've 717 00:36:56,719 --> 00:37:00,000 Speaker 1: been very frustrated by this. I've seen Democrats once again, 718 00:37:00,000 --> 00:37:02,480 Speaker 1: and of course they're in the break the glass era 719 00:37:02,640 --> 00:37:06,080 Speaker 1: of anything goes to stop Donald Trump in whatever way 720 00:37:06,120 --> 00:37:07,799 Speaker 1: they can, as petty as it has to be. 721 00:37:07,840 --> 00:37:08,439 Speaker 2: They don't care. 722 00:37:08,719 --> 00:37:11,280 Speaker 1: They're stopping US attorneys from getting through, they're stoping judges 723 00:37:11,320 --> 00:37:14,800 Speaker 1: from getting through. All good faith out the window. 724 00:37:15,000 --> 00:37:16,800 Speaker 2: So what do we do? What do you want to 725 00:37:16,800 --> 00:37:18,239 Speaker 2: see your Republican colleagues do? 726 00:37:19,040 --> 00:37:21,319 Speaker 9: It only leads us with really one choice. If they 727 00:37:21,400 --> 00:37:24,760 Speaker 9: won't allow the log in to be broken, start allowing 728 00:37:24,840 --> 00:37:28,440 Speaker 9: bipartisan nominees, at least those that are come out of 729 00:37:28,480 --> 00:37:31,680 Speaker 9: committee in a bipartisan vote. We have fifty five of 730 00:37:31,719 --> 00:37:34,160 Speaker 9: those setting right now. If they would at least allow 731 00:37:34,200 --> 00:37:37,440 Speaker 9: those fifty five to come through in a voice vote 732 00:37:39,920 --> 00:37:43,239 Speaker 9: or a UC unanscent then if they won't allow us 733 00:37:43,280 --> 00:37:44,680 Speaker 9: at least do that, then we don't have a choice 734 00:37:44,680 --> 00:37:46,520 Speaker 9: about to change the rules. That's kind of the nuclear 735 00:37:46,560 --> 00:37:50,279 Speaker 9: option because it goes two ways, right, if you do 736 00:37:50,360 --> 00:37:52,400 Speaker 9: the nuclear option and then the newth option will always 737 00:37:52,400 --> 00:37:55,080 Speaker 9: stay in place. Harry Reid kind of did this, and 738 00:37:55,080 --> 00:37:58,120 Speaker 9: then Chuck Schumer really did this in twenty seventeen, which 739 00:37:58,719 --> 00:38:02,520 Speaker 9: Mitch McConnell irony of that. Mister connell actually warned about 740 00:38:02,560 --> 00:38:04,759 Speaker 9: where we're going to be if that happens, and sure enough, 741 00:38:04,800 --> 00:38:07,120 Speaker 9: it's exactly what he said in twenty seventeen is where 742 00:38:07,120 --> 00:38:09,520 Speaker 9: we're at. And that's when if they ended the debate 743 00:38:09,880 --> 00:38:14,359 Speaker 9: on every nominee being thirty hours to two hours, and 744 00:38:14,400 --> 00:38:15,880 Speaker 9: what you're probably going to see is that we're going 745 00:38:15,880 --> 00:38:18,760 Speaker 9: to have to take that option even further to where 746 00:38:19,040 --> 00:38:21,480 Speaker 9: instead of having four votes, we're going to go in 747 00:38:21,560 --> 00:38:24,200 Speaker 9: and out of executive session, will do a day where 748 00:38:24,239 --> 00:38:27,160 Speaker 9: you just you stay in executive session all day and 749 00:38:27,200 --> 00:38:29,960 Speaker 9: you limit to eight to maybe fifteen minutes, or you 750 00:38:30,000 --> 00:38:32,800 Speaker 9: limit debate to ten minutes, or you'd or you limit 751 00:38:32,960 --> 00:38:35,319 Speaker 9: or you or that you make the nominees where they're 752 00:38:35,360 --> 00:38:39,320 Speaker 9: non debatable. Even at that with the way the rules 753 00:38:39,400 --> 00:38:42,399 Speaker 9: are in the Senate, you could get down about two 754 00:38:42,520 --> 00:38:45,080 Speaker 9: an hour if you were to do if you could 755 00:38:45,120 --> 00:38:48,080 Speaker 9: get that passed. The problem we have in the Senate 756 00:38:49,120 --> 00:38:52,839 Speaker 9: is we have some old guards that wanted to want 757 00:38:52,880 --> 00:38:57,600 Speaker 9: to protect the quorm, what they call it, the way 758 00:38:57,640 --> 00:39:00,480 Speaker 9: the Senate's always operated, and they don't want to change it, 759 00:39:00,880 --> 00:39:02,880 Speaker 9: and so we have some people that are very protective 760 00:39:02,920 --> 00:39:06,200 Speaker 9: of the rules and to get fifty one votes on there, 761 00:39:06,520 --> 00:39:09,560 Speaker 9: I believe we can do that. I wouldn't be surprised 762 00:39:09,600 --> 00:39:14,120 Speaker 9: if Jade Vance would have to come up here, a 763 00:39:14,239 --> 00:39:16,880 Speaker 9: vice President would have to come up here and break 764 00:39:17,000 --> 00:39:19,279 Speaker 9: the tie, because I think we'd probably lose some and 765 00:39:19,320 --> 00:39:21,600 Speaker 9: he would have to come up and break it. However, 766 00:39:22,640 --> 00:39:25,280 Speaker 9: that's probably going to be our option, and that's actually 767 00:39:25,280 --> 00:39:27,880 Speaker 9: what we're currently talking about as you and I speak. 768 00:39:28,160 --> 00:39:30,640 Speaker 9: I stepped out of a conference that we're having, and 769 00:39:30,680 --> 00:39:34,520 Speaker 9: this has been a very structured and passionate meeting that 770 00:39:34,600 --> 00:39:37,839 Speaker 9: I stepped out of to discuss what our next options are. 771 00:39:38,200 --> 00:39:40,160 Speaker 9: And I believe the Democrats are going to force this, 772 00:39:40,239 --> 00:39:42,920 Speaker 9: so it wouldn't be us changing the rules. They have 773 00:39:43,000 --> 00:39:45,920 Speaker 9: got away from decorum the senators and on the Senate 774 00:39:46,000 --> 00:39:49,520 Speaker 9: side from the Democrats. On the Democrat side, I mean, 775 00:39:50,200 --> 00:39:52,960 Speaker 9: underneath the leadership of Chuck Schumer, they have got away 776 00:39:53,000 --> 00:39:54,719 Speaker 9: from the corm of the Senate, which is going to 777 00:39:54,719 --> 00:39:55,040 Speaker 9: force the. 778 00:39:55,080 --> 00:39:56,320 Speaker 8: Rules to change. 779 00:39:56,960 --> 00:40:01,400 Speaker 3: We were just talking about earlier in the show, the craziness. 780 00:40:01,440 --> 00:40:04,880 Speaker 3: You were talking about the difference in the Republican caucus 781 00:40:04,920 --> 00:40:09,160 Speaker 3: in the Senate. You got Eric Swalwell posting videos of 782 00:40:09,280 --> 00:40:11,879 Speaker 3: him bench pressing one hundred and thirty five pounds, which 783 00:40:11,920 --> 00:40:14,560 Speaker 3: is good, you know, maybe good for my ninth grade 784 00:40:14,600 --> 00:40:16,560 Speaker 3: son who's trying out for his football team. 785 00:40:18,880 --> 00:40:20,520 Speaker 2: Oh Man rough days. 786 00:40:22,360 --> 00:40:22,560 Speaker 8: Video. 787 00:40:23,280 --> 00:40:26,479 Speaker 3: Yeah, so you understand, like, yeah, hey, if you're a 788 00:40:26,520 --> 00:40:28,919 Speaker 3: one plate on the bench guy like that doesn't really 789 00:40:28,960 --> 00:40:30,799 Speaker 3: motivate a lot of guys to think, hey, this is 790 00:40:30,840 --> 00:40:32,480 Speaker 3: a big this is a dude that I can look 791 00:40:32,560 --> 00:40:35,960 Speaker 3: up to. But you also have you know, this Sidney 792 00:40:35,960 --> 00:40:38,319 Speaker 3: Sweeney thing has taken over all week where you got 793 00:40:38,320 --> 00:40:41,920 Speaker 3: a pretty girl doing a Jeens commercial and uh, and 794 00:40:42,000 --> 00:40:45,400 Speaker 3: Democrats have decided basically that that's just a code word 795 00:40:45,440 --> 00:40:49,759 Speaker 3: for Nazism. Big picture here, did you ever think that 796 00:40:49,920 --> 00:40:52,440 Speaker 3: Democrats would go this insane? And what Buck and I 797 00:40:52,480 --> 00:40:55,799 Speaker 3: were talking about is privately, are there guys on the 798 00:40:55,840 --> 00:40:58,919 Speaker 3: Senate floor who are Democrats and they just will say 799 00:40:58,920 --> 00:41:01,880 Speaker 3: to you privately like this whole men and women's sports 800 00:41:01,960 --> 00:41:04,360 Speaker 3: is just absolutely insane. I mean, they still have to 801 00:41:04,400 --> 00:41:07,600 Speaker 3: have some dudes right even on the Democrat side, who 802 00:41:07,600 --> 00:41:11,279 Speaker 3: privately will point out that this is just absolute insanity. 803 00:41:11,520 --> 00:41:13,840 Speaker 3: Or are they like that in private too. I'm not 804 00:41:13,880 --> 00:41:16,719 Speaker 3: asking you to out guys who say it necessarily, but 805 00:41:16,800 --> 00:41:20,160 Speaker 3: I'm just kind of curious and normal guy conversations. Do 806 00:41:20,239 --> 00:41:22,520 Speaker 3: Democrats acknowledge how ridiculous all this is? 807 00:41:23,360 --> 00:41:26,719 Speaker 9: And they this is this is quote what they say, 808 00:41:26,920 --> 00:41:30,279 Speaker 9: we have lost lost her f in mind. I didn't 809 00:41:30,320 --> 00:41:33,600 Speaker 9: say a word and said they they say that, And yes, 810 00:41:34,280 --> 00:41:38,520 Speaker 9: there is several of the guys and some of the ladies. 811 00:41:42,239 --> 00:41:44,799 Speaker 2: Oh did they just He's given us? 812 00:41:44,800 --> 00:41:46,640 Speaker 3: Oh wait, there we go. So you got cut off 813 00:41:46,640 --> 00:41:48,319 Speaker 3: there for a sec. You said, there's several guys and 814 00:41:48,360 --> 00:41:50,920 Speaker 3: some of the women that will say privately this is crazy. 815 00:41:51,760 --> 00:41:53,839 Speaker 9: Yeah, Well that actually say we've lost her ever loving 816 00:41:53,880 --> 00:41:58,080 Speaker 9: mind or their mind. Yeah, And and they they absolutely have. 817 00:41:59,160 --> 00:42:01,160 Speaker 9: But this that they can move, And the reason why 818 00:42:01,200 --> 00:42:03,200 Speaker 9: they can't move is because they would lose their primary 819 00:42:03,200 --> 00:42:07,600 Speaker 9: election because their party has went so far that they 820 00:42:07,640 --> 00:42:10,319 Speaker 9: can yes, win a primary, but they're gonna have a 821 00:42:10,320 --> 00:42:12,080 Speaker 9: hard time winning the general. That's why you see these 822 00:42:12,120 --> 00:42:14,920 Speaker 9: polls's that there's a thirty point swing between favorable and 823 00:42:14,960 --> 00:42:19,520 Speaker 9: unfearable is because this base, their base has become so woke, 824 00:42:19,840 --> 00:42:26,160 Speaker 9: so socialists, so anti everything that makes common sense that 825 00:42:26,440 --> 00:42:28,640 Speaker 9: they can't move off of it. But that's the base 826 00:42:28,719 --> 00:42:32,920 Speaker 9: they built. And it started honestly during the twenty fifteen 827 00:42:33,000 --> 00:42:35,759 Speaker 9: twenty sixteen election, and they and then and then they 828 00:42:35,840 --> 00:42:38,839 Speaker 9: just fed into it for four years underneath President the 829 00:42:38,840 --> 00:42:42,080 Speaker 9: Trump's first term, and and and they they wanted they 830 00:42:42,160 --> 00:42:44,200 Speaker 9: I mean a debatable if they want an election. I 831 00:42:44,239 --> 00:42:46,160 Speaker 9: actually don't say that, but I'm just saying they put 832 00:42:46,239 --> 00:42:50,160 Speaker 9: Biden office one way the next, and and at the 833 00:42:50,280 --> 00:42:52,840 Speaker 9: and then at the During that four years, it destroyed 834 00:42:53,120 --> 00:42:57,319 Speaker 9: our economy, destroyed the morale and and the and the 835 00:42:57,360 --> 00:43:01,959 Speaker 9: service industry. It destroyed the morale and and uh within 836 00:43:02,080 --> 00:43:05,640 Speaker 9: our men and women in uniform. It destroyed the morale 837 00:43:05,680 --> 00:43:08,360 Speaker 9: of our uh you know, of just common sense and 838 00:43:09,239 --> 00:43:11,560 Speaker 9: in any day walk of life. We saw what happened 839 00:43:11,600 --> 00:43:13,680 Speaker 9: in schools, We saw what happened during the school boards. 840 00:43:13,920 --> 00:43:16,560 Speaker 9: I mean, it just got crazy, and American people woke 841 00:43:16,640 --> 00:43:18,239 Speaker 9: up and said, we're not doing that anymore than they 842 00:43:18,239 --> 00:43:20,879 Speaker 9: put President Trump back in office. They can't get away 843 00:43:20,880 --> 00:43:23,720 Speaker 9: from that base tho. But privately they know it's destroying 844 00:43:23,760 --> 00:43:27,160 Speaker 9: their party. I think if they had their choice, they 845 00:43:27,160 --> 00:43:31,879 Speaker 9: would love to go back and to the JFK Democrats. 846 00:43:32,239 --> 00:43:34,440 Speaker 9: But you see what happened to Chuck Schumer.

He got destroyed at home. 850 00:43:43,600 --> 00:43:45,919 Speaker 9: I mean, here's a guy that's never had a tough 851 00:43:46,000 --> 00:43:49,960 Speaker 9: reelection and he got destroyed at home, and now AOC 852 00:43:50,239 --> 00:43:54,400 Speaker 9: is threatened to run against him. His behavior changed so 853 00:43:54,640 --> 00:43:58,080 Speaker 9: much because now he can't allow AOC to be to 854 00:43:58,160 --> 00:44:01,239 Speaker 9: his left that now he has behave just like that, 855 00:44:01,600 --> 00:44:05,440 Speaker 9: which is causing them to not be reasonable on anything 856 00:44:05,480 --> 00:44:06,680 Speaker 9: we're doing moving forward. 857 00:44:08,320 --> 00:44:11,080 Speaker 3: Good stuff, Senator, we appreciate the time.

Listen to It's 935 00:48:02,520 --> 00:48:05,800 Speaker 1: a Numbers Game by Ryan ger Dusky. 936 00:48:06,280 --> 00:48:07,200 Speaker 2: Mister Ryan, good to. 937 00:48:07,160 --> 00:48:09,440 Speaker 11: Have you on, sir, Thanks for having me back. 938 00:48:10,760 --> 00:48:13,400 Speaker 1: Let's talk what's the most interesting stuff you're seeing right now? 939 00:48:13,440 --> 00:48:16,280 Speaker 1: I mean I've seen some of the numbers for example. 940 00:48:16,400 --> 00:48:17,480 Speaker 1: I mean I was going to just lay it out 941 00:48:17,480 --> 00:48:18,640 Speaker 1: to you, but actually I want to know about this. 942 00:48:20,200 --> 00:48:24,080 Speaker 1: This switch from Democrat to Republican for men. I think 943 00:48:24,120 --> 00:48:26,880 Speaker 1: the number that I saw was under forty basically, or 944 00:48:26,880 --> 00:48:30,080 Speaker 1: maybe it's under forty five over the last two years 945 00:48:30,400 --> 00:48:33,680 Speaker 1: is stunning stuff. Are those numbers real to you? Is 946 00:48:33,719 --> 00:48:35,680 Speaker 1: the data good on that? And what's going on? 947 00:48:36,560 --> 00:48:39,760 Speaker 11: So this comes out of Pew Research. Pew Research reported 948 00:48:39,920 --> 00:48:44,279 Speaker 11: that a party identification for men under the age of 949 00:48:44,480 --> 00:48:48,399 Speaker 11: thirty had a forty four point swing towards Republicans, from 950 00:48:48,520 --> 00:48:51,880 Speaker 11: Republicans having thirty six percent to fifty two percent, and 951 00:48:51,960 --> 00:48:55,120 Speaker 11: among women under thirty there was a fourteen point swing 952 00:48:55,160 --> 00:48:58,680 Speaker 11: from women having thirty to thirty seven. Obviously, Democrats lost 953 00:48:58,719 --> 00:49:01,719 Speaker 11: seven in that mixus where get the fourteen from? Now? 954 00:49:01,840 --> 00:49:04,520 Speaker 11: Is the numbers real? They're not based off of party 955 00:49:04,680 --> 00:49:07,120 Speaker 11: registration numbers, right, So they didn't go to every state 956 00:49:07,160 --> 00:49:09,640 Speaker 11: that registers people by party, and most states don't register 957 00:49:09,680 --> 00:49:12,440 Speaker 11: people by party, just register to vote. But they went 958 00:49:12,480 --> 00:49:15,360 Speaker 11: through the overall How do you think of yourself overall? 959 00:49:15,400 --> 00:49:18,240 Speaker 11: Do you lean Republican? Any new lean Democrat? Interesting? 960 00:49:18,360 --> 00:49:18,520 Speaker 8: Enought? 961 00:49:18,560 --> 00:49:21,160 Speaker 11: There's a man named David Shore, a very very smart 962 00:49:21,200 --> 00:49:25,320 Speaker 11: progressive data scientists. David Shore said that in the twenty 963 00:49:25,360 --> 00:49:28,680 Speaker 11: twenty four election, not only did Donald Trump win young 964 00:49:28,719 --> 00:49:31,320 Speaker 11: white men and young white women under the age of twenty, 965 00:49:31,640 --> 00:49:34,360 Speaker 11: he won young non white men under the age of 966 00:49:34,400 --> 00:49:37,520 Speaker 11: twenty and young white men under the age of twenty 967 00:49:37,520 --> 00:49:40,360 Speaker 11: were the most Republican group of voters in the country. 968 00:49:40,360 --> 00:49:43,680 Speaker 11: Trump went out seventy five percent of their support. So 969 00:49:44,080 --> 00:49:46,919 Speaker 11: do I think that it's true? Probably? I mean, there's 970 00:49:46,960 --> 00:49:49,040 Speaker 11: a lot of data to back that up that young 971 00:49:49,360 --> 00:49:53,040 Speaker 11: young men, especially but young white men especially are kind 972 00:49:53,040 --> 00:49:55,640 Speaker 11: of pedal to the medal for the Republican Party. Now 973 00:49:55,760 --> 00:49:58,919 Speaker 11: does that mean that they love Trump and everything he's done. No, 974 00:49:58,960 --> 00:50:02,719 Speaker 11: Trump's favorable number among young people is down. It's not 975 00:50:03,160 --> 00:50:06,640 Speaker 11: in any situation where it's down like sixty seventy points, 976 00:50:06,680 --> 00:50:09,680 Speaker 11: but it has gone down. Remember, when someone's in office, 977 00:50:09,920 --> 00:50:12,000 Speaker 11: numbers likely go down because you have to make good 978 00:50:12,040 --> 00:50:15,080 Speaker 11: in all your campaign promises. And Americans are a very 979 00:50:15,080 --> 00:50:17,480 Speaker 11: sickle bunch. We want things, we want things immediately. 980 00:50:18,760 --> 00:50:22,760 Speaker 3: I would say this because I've got three young boys seventeen, fourteen, 981 00:50:22,800 --> 00:50:25,680 Speaker 3: and ten in my household, and I'm around their teams 982 00:50:25,760 --> 00:50:29,040 Speaker 3: that they're on and everything else. Ryan, what I see 983 00:50:29,200 --> 00:50:32,360 Speaker 3: is most seventeen year old, sixteen fourteen year olds that 984 00:50:32,400 --> 00:50:36,560 Speaker 3: they don't have advanced opinions on what tax policy should 985 00:50:36,560 --> 00:50:40,000 Speaker 3: be or how tariffs should be implemented. But what they 986 00:50:40,080 --> 00:50:44,200 Speaker 3: do see is a scolding, sort of school mom like 987 00:50:44,400 --> 00:50:48,640 Speaker 3: quality of the Democrat Party constantly wagging their finger at 988 00:50:48,719 --> 00:50:52,000 Speaker 3: young men. And I think this Sydney Sweeney American Eagle 989 00:50:52,080 --> 00:50:55,920 Speaker 3: ad is representative of that. How much of this do 990 00:50:56,000 --> 00:51:00,160 Speaker 3: you think is a cultural sort of counter revolution to 991 00:51:00,280 --> 00:51:03,040 Speaker 3: the woke agenda? That so many of these kids have 992 00:51:03,160 --> 00:51:06,719 Speaker 3: been raised in because that's what I see as primarily 993 00:51:06,760 --> 00:51:08,000 Speaker 3: motivating this response. 994 00:51:08,600 --> 00:51:11,480 Speaker 11: Well, there's two things that are primarily motivating this response, 995 00:51:11,520 --> 00:51:13,600 Speaker 11: and I spoken to a number of data analysts about this. 996 00:51:13,760 --> 00:51:16,719 Speaker 11: Data scientists. One was COVID. Right, kids, you grew up 997 00:51:16,719 --> 00:51:19,960 Speaker 11: with COVID losing graduation? It really was. I mean, I 998 00:51:20,000 --> 00:51:23,640 Speaker 11: don't want to sound over over extended when I say this, 999 00:51:23,719 --> 00:51:25,759 Speaker 11: but it is true. It was kind of like world 1000 00:51:25,840 --> 00:51:28,360 Speaker 11: growing up during World War Two, or growing up during 1001 00:51:28,600 --> 00:51:31,040 Speaker 11: the War on Terror, or growing up during Vietnam. It 1002 00:51:31,080 --> 00:51:34,520 Speaker 11: is a defining thing for your generation that will impact 1003 00:51:34,560 --> 00:51:35,799 Speaker 11: your politics probably for Well. 1004 00:51:35,840 --> 00:51:37,479 Speaker 3: Let me cut you off for a moment there, because 1005 00:51:37,520 --> 00:51:39,200 Speaker 3: I do think a lot of people have missed this. 1006 00:51:39,840 --> 00:51:42,120 Speaker 3: If you didn't get to go to prom, or you 1007 00:51:42,160 --> 00:51:45,799 Speaker 3: didn't get to play your high school football season, and 1008 00:51:45,920 --> 00:51:48,879 Speaker 3: a lot of these kids they're sixteen and suddenly they 1009 00:51:48,880 --> 00:51:51,839 Speaker 3: don't go back to school again until they're eighteen. That's 1010 00:51:51,840 --> 00:51:55,439 Speaker 3: such a formative, transformative era. I don't think that you're 1011 00:51:55,560 --> 00:51:58,920 Speaker 3: over analyzing that. In fact, I think it's been under discussed. 1012 00:51:59,040 --> 00:52:02,120 Speaker 3: I just want to kind of emphasize that aspect here 1013 00:52:02,120 --> 00:52:04,440 Speaker 3: because I think it hasn't been talked about enough about 1014 00:52:04,600 --> 00:52:06,120 Speaker 3: culturally right. 1015 00:52:06,160 --> 00:52:08,279 Speaker 11: And the other big thing that no one else has 1016 00:52:08,320 --> 00:52:10,120 Speaker 11: talked about that a number of people brought ups me 1017 00:52:10,239 --> 00:52:14,440 Speaker 11: is that older gen Zers right their parents are still 1018 00:52:14,520 --> 00:52:18,680 Speaker 11: most are still like half baby boomers, which are now 1019 00:52:18,719 --> 00:52:21,360 Speaker 11: becoming one of the more progressive. Younger baby boomers are 1020 00:52:21,880 --> 00:52:25,720 Speaker 11: far more progressive than older baby boomers are. Most younger 1021 00:52:25,760 --> 00:52:28,920 Speaker 11: gen Zers are almost all younger gen Zers parents are 1022 00:52:29,040 --> 00:52:33,120 Speaker 11: gen xers, and they are the most republican demographic in 1023 00:52:33,160 --> 00:52:36,680 Speaker 11: the country today. So the who is these gen Zers 1024 00:52:36,800 --> 00:52:41,040 Speaker 11: parents also plays a significant part in why their politics 1025 00:52:41,080 --> 00:52:44,040 Speaker 11: have shifted. Their politics are more right wing for these kids, 1026 00:52:44,080 --> 00:52:46,760 Speaker 11: in part because the parents have changed and the parents 1027 00:52:46,800 --> 00:52:49,360 Speaker 11: are more right wing than the parents that came before. 1028 00:52:49,560 --> 00:52:52,400 Speaker 11: That plays a significant role in why these kids are 1029 00:52:52,520 --> 00:52:54,799 Speaker 11: more younger. I mean, listen, if you grew up and 1030 00:52:54,880 --> 00:52:57,240 Speaker 11: you were a baby boomer, and you were a younger 1031 00:52:57,239 --> 00:52:59,919 Speaker 11: baby boomer, like let's say you're sixty now, and your 1032 00:53:00,440 --> 00:53:04,760 Speaker 11: politics revolved around, I don't know, not protesting the Vianamore. 1033 00:53:04,800 --> 00:53:06,200 Speaker 11: You might have been too young for that, but you 1034 00:53:06,280 --> 00:53:10,279 Speaker 11: remember it certainly. Versus if you are a younger baby, 1035 00:53:10,280 --> 00:53:12,920 Speaker 11: if you're a gen Xer and you grew up watching 1036 00:53:13,840 --> 00:53:17,399 Speaker 11: you know, Jay and silent Bob strikes back, and you thought, 1037 00:53:17,520 --> 00:53:20,680 Speaker 11: you know, you were non conformists, and you had Johnny 1038 00:53:20,719 --> 00:53:23,680 Speaker 11: Depp posted in your bedroom versus like David Cassidy. That's 1039 00:53:23,680 --> 00:53:27,600 Speaker 11: an entirely different cultural reference point. And a lot of 1040 00:53:27,600 --> 00:53:30,480 Speaker 11: Gen Xers are more countercultural in that respect, and they 1041 00:53:30,560 --> 00:53:35,160 Speaker 11: do had a nonconformity and they don't like authoritarianism like 1042 00:53:35,200 --> 00:53:36,480 Speaker 11: the way we saw during COVID. 1043 00:53:37,800 --> 00:53:39,920 Speaker 1: Speaking of Ryan Gerdusky, it's a numbers game, as this 1044 00:53:39,960 --> 00:53:43,279 Speaker 1: podcast on the Clay Endbuck Network, So go it's a 1045 00:53:43,280 --> 00:53:45,240 Speaker 1: great time to listen to it this weekend. 1046 00:53:45,280 --> 00:53:47,040 Speaker 2: Go check it out. You'll be really up to speed. 1047 00:53:47,280 --> 00:53:47,440 Speaker 8: Ran. 1048 00:53:47,520 --> 00:53:50,520 Speaker 1: What else is really top of your radar for the 1049 00:53:50,600 --> 00:53:52,279 Speaker 1: data out there to tell us about how things are 1050 00:53:52,320 --> 00:53:55,640 Speaker 1: trending right now for Trump, the Republicans, the country at large. 1051 00:53:56,120 --> 00:53:58,279 Speaker 11: Right So there's a new pull out that I find 1052 00:53:58,600 --> 00:54:01,799 Speaker 11: very very interesting. It's by a Democratic firm, so I'm 1053 00:54:01,800 --> 00:54:03,560 Speaker 11: going to take it with a big grain of salt. 1054 00:54:03,600 --> 00:54:05,879 Speaker 11: But it is a question I have thought about over 1055 00:54:05,920 --> 00:54:09,359 Speaker 11: and over, and that is Latinos who voted for Joe 1056 00:54:09,400 --> 00:54:11,960 Speaker 11: Biden in twenty twenty and then Donald Trump and then 1057 00:54:12,000 --> 00:54:15,200 Speaker 11: twenty twenty four. This is the group that will affect 1058 00:54:15,200 --> 00:54:17,920 Speaker 11: a number of congressional districts. This is the group that 1059 00:54:17,960 --> 00:54:21,520 Speaker 11: we are redistricting Texas around. Right. So the poll, which 1060 00:54:21,560 --> 00:54:24,320 Speaker 11: once again is a Democratic polster, and they weren't particularly 1061 00:54:24,360 --> 00:54:26,799 Speaker 11: amazing in during twenty twenty four, but they were like, 1062 00:54:27,000 --> 00:54:29,879 Speaker 11: way way off, So it's called equis research. They said 1063 00:54:29,880 --> 00:54:33,520 Speaker 11: that only eight percent of Latinos who voted for Donald 1064 00:54:33,520 --> 00:54:36,279 Speaker 11: Trump in twenty twenty four plan on voting for the 1065 00:54:36,280 --> 00:54:38,960 Speaker 11: Democrat in twenty twenty six. That is not a major 1066 00:54:39,000 --> 00:54:43,560 Speaker 11: defection at all. Specifically among Biden Trump voters. These are 1067 00:54:43,560 --> 00:54:47,239 Speaker 11: what they call the Biden defectors. A thirty percent say 1068 00:54:47,239 --> 00:54:49,759 Speaker 11: they are planning on voting for the Democrat. That is 1069 00:54:49,920 --> 00:54:52,600 Speaker 11: ten points down from three months ago. That said that 1070 00:54:52,640 --> 00:54:54,840 Speaker 11: when he said forty percent would vote for the Democrat. 1071 00:54:55,320 --> 00:54:58,040 Speaker 11: So of those group of people who are new to 1072 00:54:58,080 --> 00:55:01,480 Speaker 11: the Republican Party, who have a law lifelong history of 1073 00:55:01,560 --> 00:55:05,839 Speaker 11: voting for Democrats, two out of three are not returning 1074 00:55:05,880 --> 00:55:07,520 Speaker 11: home for the Democratic Party. You know, you may say 1075 00:55:07,560 --> 00:55:12,040 Speaker 11: thirty percent is a huge chunk, but in long trajectories 1076 00:55:12,080 --> 00:55:15,280 Speaker 11: of a long history of when groups of people switch 1077 00:55:15,360 --> 00:55:18,120 Speaker 11: party in vacation. You're talking ethnic whites in the sixties, 1078 00:55:18,239 --> 00:55:21,240 Speaker 11: or Jews or which not, or you know, working class people. 1079 00:55:21,360 --> 00:55:24,040 Speaker 11: There's always bumps, ups and downs. They switch, they come back, 1080 00:55:24,080 --> 00:55:26,480 Speaker 11: they go, they come back. But there's a trajectory that 1081 00:55:26,480 --> 00:55:28,960 Speaker 11: they'll pay attention to. If you look at the Latina vote, 1082 00:55:28,960 --> 00:55:32,760 Speaker 11: the working class Latino vote, the fact that two thirds 1083 00:55:32,760 --> 00:55:35,280 Speaker 11: are sitting there and saying no, I'm probably they're undecided 1084 00:55:35,400 --> 00:55:38,839 Speaker 11: or I'm definitely sticking with the Republican Party. That continues 1085 00:55:38,880 --> 00:55:41,719 Speaker 11: that trajectory going forward. And it says for the Democrats 1086 00:55:41,760 --> 00:55:43,640 Speaker 11: and say, you're not going to wake up and all 1087 00:55:43,640 --> 00:55:46,359 Speaker 11: of a sudden being twenty twelve again, these people kind 1088 00:55:46,360 --> 00:55:48,680 Speaker 11: of have come to stay, and you're going to have 1089 00:55:48,680 --> 00:55:51,000 Speaker 11: to either figure out a new coalition or change your 1090 00:55:51,080 --> 00:55:53,920 Speaker 11: policies or your vibes or whatever to bring them back. 1091 00:55:54,760 --> 00:55:55,080 Speaker 3: Ryan. 1092 00:55:55,400 --> 00:55:59,480 Speaker 1: Some people think that Kamala Harris has a political future. 1093 00:56:00,120 --> 00:56:03,280 Speaker 1: People think that Kamala Harris is finished. 1094 00:56:03,560 --> 00:56:04,400 Speaker 2: What do you think? 1095 00:56:05,680 --> 00:56:08,239 Speaker 11: I am more of the side that Kamala Harris is 1096 00:56:08,400 --> 00:56:12,799 Speaker 11: probably finished with politics, don't. I don't think anyone in 1097 00:56:12,840 --> 00:56:15,120 Speaker 11: the Democratic Party that I have spoken to, I know, 1098 00:56:15,320 --> 00:56:18,160 Speaker 11: I know a few Democratic cans alto take her seriously, 1099 00:56:18,800 --> 00:56:21,400 Speaker 11: and they didn't. Most did not take her seriously in 1100 00:56:21,600 --> 00:56:25,359 Speaker 11: twenty twenty when she was vicked as the VP, and 1101 00:56:25,400 --> 00:56:28,040 Speaker 11: they certainly didn't take her seriously. Now, no matter how 1102 00:56:28,120 --> 00:56:29,920 Speaker 11: many of bitches are in that she's she had the 1103 00:56:30,000 --> 00:56:34,040 Speaker 11: perfect campaign. The perfect campaign generally leaves you in the 1104 00:56:34,040 --> 00:56:37,560 Speaker 11: White House's she's going on, Stephen Colbert, It's a much 1105 00:56:37,600 --> 00:56:41,920 Speaker 11: different life. 1106 00:56:40,640 --> 00:56:45,160 Speaker 3: On the House for next year. The five potential editions 1107 00:56:45,160 --> 00:56:48,200 Speaker 3: in Texas. There's lots of talk about a variety of 1108 00:56:48,239 --> 00:56:52,120 Speaker 3: different state moves and everything else. But it seems to me, 1109 00:56:52,160 --> 00:56:54,880 Speaker 3: and you correct me if I'm wrong, that everybody trying 1110 00:56:54,920 --> 00:57:00,680 Speaker 3: to claim, oh, only one side jerry manders is completely wrong. Basically, 1111 00:57:00,760 --> 00:57:02,960 Speaker 3: red states are going to do whatever makes sense for 1112 00:57:03,040 --> 00:57:05,440 Speaker 3: red states by and large. Blue states are going to 1113 00:57:05,480 --> 00:57:08,000 Speaker 3: do whatever makes sense for Blue states by and large. 1114 00:57:08,520 --> 00:57:12,560 Speaker 3: If you assess the overall map, is one party more 1115 00:57:12,760 --> 00:57:16,280 Speaker 3: or less guilty of jerrymandering than the other, And how 1116 00:57:16,360 --> 00:57:19,680 Speaker 3: much movement do you think might happen before next year 1117 00:57:19,720 --> 00:57:22,520 Speaker 3: when I think most people agree the House is likely 1118 00:57:22,560 --> 00:57:24,880 Speaker 3: to come down to five or six seats. It's going 1119 00:57:24,960 --> 00:57:27,040 Speaker 3: to be a fine line between who controls it. 1120 00:57:27,640 --> 00:57:30,320 Speaker 11: Well, there is one party that overly jerry manners, and 1121 00:57:30,320 --> 00:57:34,240 Speaker 11: that's Democrats. Remember, the Democrats don't have control of many 1122 00:57:34,280 --> 00:57:38,200 Speaker 11: different states as reproportionment, right, they have control. In twenty twenty, 1123 00:57:38,240 --> 00:57:44,880 Speaker 11: they had control essentially of seven states Oregon, Nevada, New Mexico, Illinois, Maryland, Massachusetts, 1124 00:57:44,920 --> 00:57:46,760 Speaker 11: and Rhode Island. Those are the only seven states they 1125 00:57:46,760 --> 00:57:50,200 Speaker 11: had full control of. In all seven states, there are 1126 00:57:50,240 --> 00:57:54,040 Speaker 11: a total of six elected Republicans out of dozens of 1127 00:57:54,160 --> 00:57:58,640 Speaker 11: congressional seats. They jerrymanner them to the Republicans, the absolute 1128 00:57:58,760 --> 00:58:00,720 Speaker 11: corners where they couldn't base the get rid of all 1129 00:58:00,760 --> 00:58:02,520 Speaker 11: of them, but every chance that they had to get 1130 00:58:02,600 --> 00:58:05,840 Speaker 11: rid of them. Oregon should have easily two Republicans, Nevada 1131 00:58:05,880 --> 00:58:09,160 Speaker 11: two Republicans, New Mexico won, Maryland two, Illinois should have 1132 00:58:09,200 --> 00:58:13,360 Speaker 11: five or six, Massachusetts should have won. They all have none. Now, 1133 00:58:13,400 --> 00:58:16,760 Speaker 11: if you look at the Republican districts Texas, everyone's sung Texas. Texas. 1134 00:58:16,840 --> 00:58:21,720 Speaker 11: You know, so jerrymandered. Texas is less jerrymandered than Illinois, 1135 00:58:21,920 --> 00:58:25,960 Speaker 11: than Maryland, than New Jersey, than California, than Oregon, then 1136 00:58:26,080 --> 00:58:28,919 Speaker 11: New Mexico, then all of these states. Right, they are 1137 00:58:29,080 --> 00:58:33,040 Speaker 11: super super gerrymandered, and where they could knock Republicans off, 1138 00:58:33,200 --> 00:58:35,960 Speaker 11: they did. The problem is Democrats have sat there and 1139 00:58:36,040 --> 00:58:39,360 Speaker 11: changed to commission based redistricting, which has to at least 1140 00:58:39,400 --> 00:58:41,840 Speaker 11: look semi fair, even when it's not in the case 1141 00:58:41,840 --> 00:58:47,160 Speaker 11: of California and New Jersey and Washington. So Governor Gavin 1142 00:58:47,200 --> 00:58:50,120 Speaker 11: Newsom pouting his chest, thing, I'm going to fight, you know, 1143 00:58:50,320 --> 00:58:52,200 Speaker 11: I'm gonna fight abb and I'm going to change these 1144 00:58:52,320 --> 00:58:54,240 Speaker 11: my lines and I'm going to give Democrats six new 1145 00:58:54,240 --> 00:58:58,800 Speaker 11: seats is impossible. Sure, so is like a flying pig. 1146 00:58:58,920 --> 00:59:02,240 Speaker 11: It's not really ever going to happen because it would 1147 00:59:02,240 --> 00:59:05,120 Speaker 11: take so many hurdles. They have to do a conscial convention. 1148 00:59:05,200 --> 00:59:07,320 Speaker 11: If the past two thirds majority have to go to 1149 00:59:07,360 --> 00:59:10,040 Speaker 11: a vote for the people, millions of dollars in several 1150 00:59:10,120 --> 00:59:11,920 Speaker 11: years would have to be spent order for Gaven Neuwsen 1151 00:59:12,000 --> 00:59:14,080 Speaker 11: to get that. Same thing with New York, same thing 1152 00:59:14,080 --> 00:59:17,000 Speaker 11: with New Jersey is people pouting their chests and pretending 1153 00:59:17,080 --> 00:59:19,520 Speaker 11: like Democrats have been working, you know, in such a 1154 00:59:19,560 --> 00:59:24,960 Speaker 11: sanctimonious way to give fair representation. Are lying to themselves, 1155 00:59:25,200 --> 00:59:27,000 Speaker 11: and most of them are lying to the voters about 1156 00:59:27,040 --> 00:59:30,200 Speaker 11: how they're going to fight back. It's basically to sit 1157 00:59:30,240 --> 00:59:32,560 Speaker 11: there and say, you know, I'm going to be the 1158 00:59:32,680 --> 00:59:35,280 Speaker 11: candidate to take on Trump when they run for president 1159 00:59:35,360 --> 00:59:36,480 Speaker 11: in four years. 1160 00:59:38,080 --> 00:59:40,080 Speaker 1: Who is the leader of the Democrat Party right now 1161 00:59:40,160 --> 00:59:42,320 Speaker 1: as far as you can see, Ryan, Because Kamala was 1162 00:59:42,320 --> 00:59:45,240 Speaker 1: asked last night on Colbert and didn't even She didn't 1163 00:59:45,280 --> 00:59:46,840 Speaker 1: do what I would expect a Democrat to do, which 1164 00:59:46,880 --> 00:59:48,560 Speaker 1: is say, oh, we have so many people and rattle 1165 00:59:48,600 --> 00:59:50,560 Speaker 1: off the first four or five names that come to mind. 1166 00:59:50,600 --> 00:59:52,439 Speaker 1: She said nothing, What are you say? 1167 00:59:53,200 --> 00:59:55,280 Speaker 11: Well, isn't that typic of Kamala Harris to say nothing? 1168 00:59:55,880 --> 00:59:57,800 Speaker 11: I would sit there and say it's probably Bernie Sanders 1169 00:59:57,840 --> 00:59:58,280 Speaker 11: as of right. 1170 00:59:58,680 --> 01:00:01,760 Speaker 1: I think Bernie Sanders. Wow, I thought you were gonna 1171 01:00:01,760 --> 01:00:03,280 Speaker 1: say newsome Bernie Sanders. 1172 01:00:03,360 --> 01:00:05,360 Speaker 11: No, No, it's not even close. Bernie has the highest 1173 01:00:05,360 --> 01:00:10,040 Speaker 11: airbility rating of any elected Democrat. Second is AOC. The 1174 01:00:10,080 --> 01:00:13,360 Speaker 11: progressive wing is on the rise, and there's just no 1175 01:00:13,600 --> 01:00:17,360 Speaker 11: there's no derailing it at this point. And you know 1176 01:00:17,400 --> 01:00:20,240 Speaker 11: we are we They're gonna switch the chairs in the 1177 01:00:20,280 --> 01:00:23,320 Speaker 11: deck on the Titanic, the Dextros Undertannic to try to 1178 01:00:23,360 --> 01:00:25,640 Speaker 11: get more moderates to be elected. They'll move the primaries 1179 01:00:25,640 --> 01:00:28,200 Speaker 11: of South Carolina, but do everything they can. But we 1180 01:00:28,440 --> 01:00:31,520 Speaker 11: are just, you know, maybe an election cycle maybe two 1181 01:00:31,560 --> 01:00:35,920 Speaker 11: away from the Democrats going full Mandannie nationwide, and that 1182 01:00:36,200 --> 01:00:38,000 Speaker 11: you know, we're just going to be in a new 1183 01:00:38,040 --> 01:00:40,600 Speaker 11: progressive phase where they go far left on a number 1184 01:00:40,600 --> 01:00:41,160 Speaker 11: of issues. 1185 01:00:42,520 --> 01:00:44,080 Speaker 3: Let me let me make the case, and I want 1186 01:00:44,080 --> 01:00:48,320 Speaker 3: to get your reaction quickly here if I'm advising Kamala, right, 1187 01:00:48,400 --> 01:00:50,720 Speaker 3: I'm not saying that I agree with all of this, 1188 01:00:50,800 --> 01:00:53,840 Speaker 3: all right, just to be fair, but I look at 1189 01:00:54,000 --> 01:00:57,520 Speaker 3: guys who and gals who were likely to run, Gavin Newsome, 1190 01:00:58,120 --> 01:01:05,320 Speaker 3: Gretchen Whitmer, Joshua Pierre, Andy Basheer, JB. Pritzker, and all 1191 01:01:05,400 --> 01:01:09,800 Speaker 3: of these so called mayor Pete. Many of them are 1192 01:01:10,080 --> 01:01:15,200 Speaker 3: basically white people, right, that are attempting to persuade college 1193 01:01:15,400 --> 01:01:18,520 Speaker 3: educated white voters that they're the right choice. Like Mayor 1194 01:01:18,520 --> 01:01:23,600 Speaker 3: Pete for instance, has zero percent support among black people. Meanwhile, 1195 01:01:23,680 --> 01:01:25,920 Speaker 3: you know, if you're a if you're a college educated 1196 01:01:25,960 --> 01:01:28,320 Speaker 3: woman out there, you love him, right, he is your 1197 01:01:28,320 --> 01:01:32,680 Speaker 3: favorite gay friend and so and so. If you look 1198 01:01:32,680 --> 01:01:37,120 Speaker 3: on the minority side, right, Corey Booker is a joke, right. 1199 01:01:37,200 --> 01:01:38,920 Speaker 3: I mean, every time a guy opens his mouth. He 1200 01:01:39,000 --> 01:01:42,680 Speaker 3: looks like crazy eyes from the curb your enthusiasm. I mean, 1201 01:01:42,720 --> 01:01:45,120 Speaker 3: he just looks like an insane person. I think he 1202 01:01:45,160 --> 01:01:50,080 Speaker 3: has no larger political future. Wes Moore is uncertain AOC. 1203 01:01:50,600 --> 01:01:53,840 Speaker 3: My point is, if you're looking at the minority black 1204 01:01:53,920 --> 01:01:57,240 Speaker 3: side of the Democrat Party, if I'm advising Kamala Harris, 1205 01:01:57,240 --> 01:02:00,960 Speaker 3: Stacey Abrams is done, Karen bass is done. There's almost 1206 01:02:01,000 --> 01:02:03,840 Speaker 3: no one else in that lane, and she doesn't have 1207 01:02:03,880 --> 01:02:06,080 Speaker 3: to be hugely popular. She just has to get that 1208 01:02:06,120 --> 01:02:09,720 Speaker 3: twenty five percent. Am I crazy? Or who is going 1209 01:02:09,760 --> 01:02:12,720 Speaker 3: to contend with her for that lane if she were 1210 01:02:12,760 --> 01:02:13,280 Speaker 3: to run. 1211 01:02:13,840 --> 01:02:17,160 Speaker 11: Well, the one thing I would say, I understand your presumption, 1212 01:02:17,280 --> 01:02:19,280 Speaker 11: but I just want to put one little context in 1213 01:02:19,320 --> 01:02:21,280 Speaker 11: here is that the black vote, especially in the South, 1214 01:02:21,320 --> 01:02:23,880 Speaker 11: doesn't always vote for the black candidate. They vote for 1215 01:02:23,920 --> 01:02:26,720 Speaker 11: the candidate I think can win. They are much more 1216 01:02:26,760 --> 01:02:29,400 Speaker 11: modern and pragmatic than I think you're giving them credit for. 1217 01:02:29,520 --> 01:02:32,240 Speaker 11: So I would sit there and say, if you're Kamala Harrison, 1218 01:02:32,280 --> 01:02:35,920 Speaker 11: you want to have a footprint in politics, realizing that 1219 01:02:36,040 --> 01:02:38,560 Speaker 11: your weaknesses as a candidate, I would go and do 1220 01:02:38,600 --> 01:02:42,040 Speaker 11: what Richard Nixon did Former Seuer pak campaign for the 1221 01:02:42,080 --> 01:02:46,000 Speaker 11: next Democrat be a kingmaker and then if they don't win, 1222 01:02:46,200 --> 01:02:48,680 Speaker 11: come under your white horse and give it eight years 1223 01:02:48,680 --> 01:02:51,520 Speaker 11: in the wildness. She can afford that time if she 1224 01:02:51,640 --> 01:02:53,280 Speaker 11: wants to do that. I don't think she even can. 1225 01:02:53,520 --> 01:02:55,160 Speaker 11: But I don't think the presumption is that the black 1226 01:02:55,240 --> 01:02:57,480 Speaker 11: vote is going to only vote for a black candidate. 1227 01:02:57,520 --> 01:02:58,880 Speaker 11: I think that they're going to they'll be okay with 1228 01:02:58,920 --> 01:03:01,120 Speaker 11: a black candidate being on the tip, But I don't 1229 01:03:01,160 --> 01:03:03,520 Speaker 11: think that they need a black candidate because in a 1230 01:03:03,640 --> 01:03:06,600 Speaker 11: long history from Clinton, I always remember Clinton ran against 1231 01:03:06,640 --> 01:03:09,720 Speaker 11: Jesse Jackson, I mean, and Obama was the only one 1232 01:03:09,720 --> 01:03:11,920 Speaker 11: today sat there, so we have to have it. So 1233 01:03:12,440 --> 01:03:14,920 Speaker 11: I think that they're more pragmatic than that and more 1234 01:03:14,960 --> 01:03:17,160 Speaker 11: modern good stuff. 1235 01:03:17,240 --> 01:03:19,280 Speaker 3: Ryan Gerdusky you can find him in the Clay and 1236 01:03:19,320 --> 01:03:21,680 Speaker 3: Buck podcast network.
