And I like to see 50 00:02:30,520 --> 00:02:33,359 Speaker 9: some of these some of these nominations rather or these 51 00:02:33,840 --> 00:02:35,160 Speaker 9: appointments in the cabinet. 52 00:02:35,200 --> 00:02:36,520 Speaker 8: I think that's that's a good start. 53 00:02:37,200 --> 00:02:37,880 Speaker 2: Ran real quick. 54 00:02:37,880 --> 00:02:40,639 Speaker 1: Anyone you're very excited about so far that's been talked 55 00:02:40,639 --> 00:02:41,680 Speaker 1: about for any nomination. 56 00:02:43,280 --> 00:02:46,240 Speaker 9: Yeah, you mentioned Holman. I think Tom Holman's and Ooman's 57 00:02:46,240 --> 00:02:50,239 Speaker 9: an excellent choice. He's been promising to uh clean things 58 00:02:50,360 --> 00:02:54,040 Speaker 9: up that order and make this massive deportation of the 59 00:02:54,080 --> 00:02:55,200 Speaker 9: illegal in this country. 60 00:02:55,440 --> 00:02:58,919 Speaker 8: I like that. Also, Seize Wilde is excellent. It goes 61 00:02:58,919 --> 00:02:59,639 Speaker 8: against the. 62 00:02:59,680 --> 00:03:03,360 Speaker 9: Near that Trump is against women or whatever the left 63 00:03:03,440 --> 00:03:06,760 Speaker 9: love to say about President Trump. She is brilliant, she's smart, 64 00:03:06,800 --> 00:03:09,120 Speaker 9: she's strategic, she's a leader. 65 00:03:08,960 --> 00:03:11,360 Speaker 8: And I think that's exactly what the cabinet needs. 66 00:03:11,840 --> 00:03:13,560 Speaker 2: Yeah. Great to see Suzie there. 67 00:03:13,560 --> 00:03:15,640 Speaker 1: And I'll tell you what Kamala Harris and Tom Homan 68 00:03:15,960 --> 00:03:18,200 Speaker 1: polar officites with the border. I'm very sad for that one. 69 00:03:18,200 --> 00:03:19,880 Speaker 1: But let's take a look at some of this exit 70 00:03:19,880 --> 00:03:23,480 Speaker 1: polling year. Because Trump set a GOP record with Latino voters, 71 00:03:23,639 --> 00:03:27,320 Speaker 1: Edison Research exit polls showed forty six percent back to him, 72 00:03:27,639 --> 00:03:30,800 Speaker 1: but he made gains with nearly all demographics as well. 73 00:03:31,280 --> 00:03:34,040 Speaker 1: What do you think resonated with these voters, Brian. 74 00:03:35,600 --> 00:03:36,880 Speaker 8: It's all about the economy. 75 00:03:36,920 --> 00:03:40,280 Speaker 9: It's all about putting money in their pocket and getting 76 00:03:40,280 --> 00:03:41,360 Speaker 9: people back to work. 77 00:03:41,400 --> 00:03:43,240 Speaker 8: You know, it's interesting even. 78 00:03:43,040 --> 00:03:47,680 Speaker 9: AOC put up on TikTok this questionnaire people who voted 79 00:03:47,680 --> 00:03:51,400 Speaker 9: for her that crossed over and voted for President Trump 80 00:03:51,480 --> 00:03:55,120 Speaker 9: is something that we never thought would happen, especially for 81 00:03:55,240 --> 00:03:58,200 Speaker 9: someone who might be supporting AOC. But it just goes 82 00:03:58,240 --> 00:04:01,280 Speaker 9: to show that people comes down to it, they have 83 00:04:01,400 --> 00:04:06,160 Speaker 9: more confidence Trump to say this economy then they did 84 00:04:06,960 --> 00:04:09,520 Speaker 9: Kamala Harris, and I think that's a leading indicator of 85 00:04:09,520 --> 00:04:13,280 Speaker 9: what we're going to see coming on to future elections. 86 00:04:13,280 --> 00:04:17,880 Speaker 9: It's about real issues and policies against not necessarily all 87 00:04:17,920 --> 00:04:21,520 Speaker 9: the social issues which we're told that it's all about. 88 00:04:21,960 --> 00:04:22,200 Speaker 7: Brian. 89 00:04:22,200 --> 00:04:24,200 Speaker 6: You know, the Democrats are now playing the blame game 90 00:04:24,240 --> 00:04:25,920 Speaker 6: as to what went wrong. So I want to get 91 00:04:25,920 --> 00:04:28,279 Speaker 6: your take on where you think they went wrong and 92 00:04:28,320 --> 00:04:30,720 Speaker 6: how they'll learned from this, because I think back you know, 93 00:04:30,760 --> 00:04:33,800 Speaker 6: they nominated Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump defeated her, and 94 00:04:33,839 --> 00:04:36,479 Speaker 6: now you've got Kamal Harris and the thought that you know, 95 00:04:36,520 --> 00:04:39,159 Speaker 6: proverbial thinking might be, well, America's just not ready for 96 00:04:39,160 --> 00:04:41,320 Speaker 6: a woman. And I've contended that it has nothing to 97 00:04:41,360 --> 00:04:43,280 Speaker 6: do with the fact that there was a female candidate. 98 00:04:43,480 --> 00:04:45,200 Speaker 7: It's just the wrong female candidate. 99 00:04:46,960 --> 00:04:49,560 Speaker 9: Yeah, yeah, you know, you're right. I just think it 100 00:04:49,600 --> 00:04:52,840 Speaker 9: goes back to messaging. It just wasn't there. And to 101 00:04:52,920 --> 00:04:55,640 Speaker 9: your point, it wasn't about the gender or the race 102 00:04:56,200 --> 00:04:57,000 Speaker 9: or anything like that. 103 00:04:57,080 --> 00:04:58,200 Speaker 8: It was about the messaging. 104 00:04:58,640 --> 00:05:01,320 Speaker 9: Now take a look at the that the endorsements that 105 00:05:01,360 --> 00:05:04,919 Speaker 9: they had to pay for a million dollars perhaps go 106 00:05:05,000 --> 00:05:08,440 Speaker 9: to you know, Oprah and other twenty million dollars spent 107 00:05:08,600 --> 00:05:13,200 Speaker 9: in concerts in swing states. That's not solving problem. That's 108 00:05:13,240 --> 00:05:16,839 Speaker 9: trying to buy low information voters. And I think America's 109 00:05:16,920 --> 00:05:20,200 Speaker 9: not tolering that they're not falling for the tricks that 110 00:05:20,240 --> 00:05:24,159 Speaker 9: have normally been played by the Democrat Party. They won solutions, 111 00:05:24,200 --> 00:05:26,559 Speaker 9: and they just felt that President Trump had a better 112 00:05:26,600 --> 00:05:28,040 Speaker 9: approach to fixing this country. 113 00:05:28,640 --> 00:05:31,040 Speaker 1: You know, Brian, the Trump team did so well with 114 00:05:31,240 --> 00:05:33,960 Speaker 1: earned media. They were going on podcasts. For instance, they 115 00:05:34,000 --> 00:05:35,960 Speaker 1: went on Jill Rogan to talk for three hours. Kamala 116 00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:38,240 Speaker 1: Harris refused to do so. But you talk about the 117 00:05:38,279 --> 00:05:41,400 Speaker 1: campaign debt. For instance, call her daddy. The sex podcasts 118 00:05:41,400 --> 00:05:43,560 Speaker 1: that she did end up going on. They spent one 119 00:05:43,640 --> 00:05:46,680 Speaker 1: hundred thousand dollars to build a set in. 120 00:05:46,720 --> 00:05:48,920 Speaker 2: Washington, d C. For Kamala Harris to go on and 121 00:05:48,960 --> 00:05:49,720 Speaker 2: talk about abortion. 122 00:05:49,839 --> 00:05:53,080 Speaker 1: I mean, who is in charge of making these financial 123 00:05:53,080 --> 00:05:55,760 Speaker 1: decisions to blow that amount amount of money and end 124 00:05:55,800 --> 00:05:57,400 Speaker 1: up twenty million. 125 00:05:57,080 --> 00:05:57,839 Speaker 2: Dollars in debt. 126 00:05:59,440 --> 00:06:01,520 Speaker 9: Well, Michelle, we that is such a reflection of how 127 00:06:01,560 --> 00:06:03,919 Speaker 9: they treat the American dollar in the tax Can. 128 00:06:03,760 --> 00:06:05,880 Speaker 2: You imagine that's running the economy. 129 00:06:05,440 --> 00:06:08,440 Speaker 8: Without an accountability. Yeah, exactly. 130 00:06:08,760 --> 00:06:12,200 Speaker 9: That should be the biggest warning sign to America that 131 00:06:12,320 --> 00:06:15,440 Speaker 9: if they get in charge, that's exactly how they're going 132 00:06:15,520 --> 00:06:19,159 Speaker 9: to spend your money. It's reckless, it's you irresponsible. And 133 00:06:19,240 --> 00:06:22,440 Speaker 9: I think the public this election, if it did anything, 134 00:06:23,440 --> 00:06:26,479 Speaker 9: brought over a lot of non traditional voters into the 135 00:06:26,560 --> 00:06:27,680 Speaker 9: Republican camp. 136 00:06:28,160 --> 00:06:28,360 Speaker 7: Yeah. 137 00:06:28,360 --> 00:06:30,120 Speaker 6: And Brian, I want to get your take on what 138 00:06:30,160 --> 00:06:32,919 Speaker 6: I would call the next generation of America. First, with 139 00:06:33,000 --> 00:06:35,480 Speaker 6: this notion of Marco Rubio being Secretary of State, you 140 00:06:35,480 --> 00:06:37,799 Speaker 6: got the versus Latino person ever pointed to this position. 141 00:06:37,960 --> 00:06:39,800 Speaker 6: There's a viral clip out there right now where he's 142 00:06:39,839 --> 00:06:42,320 Speaker 6: talking about Hamas and really sticking it to Hamas, which 143 00:06:42,320 --> 00:06:45,279 Speaker 6: I think is he's a next generation guy. Talk about 144 00:06:45,360 --> 00:06:48,560 Speaker 6: maybe the effect of Elon Musk and maybe even Vveck Ramaswami. 145 00:06:48,600 --> 00:06:51,240 Speaker 6: Every time I see Vvex speak, I have been impressed. 146 00:06:51,680 --> 00:06:54,840 Speaker 6: He's just an impressive communicator. I don't know what role 147 00:06:54,880 --> 00:06:57,520 Speaker 6: he may have. But you add jd Vance in this mix, 148 00:06:57,560 --> 00:06:59,960 Speaker 6: and you're seeing this is not the old, rich white 149 00:07:00,160 --> 00:07:02,919 Speaker 6: guy GOP anymore. This is something very different, and I 150 00:07:02,960 --> 00:07:03,760 Speaker 6: want to get your take on that. 151 00:07:03,920 --> 00:07:06,840 Speaker 1: If you remember Via I could never attack Trump during 152 00:07:06,839 --> 00:07:09,240 Speaker 1: the debate as well, he was very strategic about that. 153 00:07:10,640 --> 00:07:13,360 Speaker 8: What do you think, Yeah, this is not your grandpa's GOP. 154 00:07:13,680 --> 00:07:17,080 Speaker 9: This isn't the country club Republicans that really missed on 155 00:07:17,160 --> 00:07:19,800 Speaker 9: the messaging and they weren't aggressive, and they allowed the 156 00:07:19,880 --> 00:07:22,680 Speaker 9: left to kind of creep into the public space with 157 00:07:22,720 --> 00:07:23,360 Speaker 9: their agenda. 158 00:07:23,600 --> 00:07:25,600 Speaker 8: These guys slap back. 159 00:07:25,480 --> 00:07:30,520 Speaker 9: With policy, with communicative messages that really resonate with everyone. 160 00:07:30,800 --> 00:07:31,800 Speaker 8: Now, I will say. 161 00:07:31,600 --> 00:07:37,240 Speaker 9: This, the Conga line at mar Al Lago for appointments 162 00:07:37,320 --> 00:07:40,560 Speaker 9: for the cabinet is long, and I would not put 163 00:07:40,600 --> 00:07:43,840 Speaker 9: a lot of merit yet until it officially comes out 164 00:07:44,160 --> 00:07:48,320 Speaker 9: from President Trump's office. On who gets appointed where, because listen, 165 00:07:48,720 --> 00:07:51,880 Speaker 9: let's be honest, it says expected. 166 00:07:51,600 --> 00:07:56,000 Speaker 8: With Christinome, with Homeland, it's expected with Secretary of State. 167 00:07:56,080 --> 00:07:58,720 Speaker 8: With Rubio, it's not confirmed yet to my knowledge. 168 00:07:58,920 --> 00:08:02,720 Speaker 9: So let's just be very cautious before we automatically give 169 00:08:02,760 --> 00:08:04,840 Speaker 9: them the keys to these cabinet respectfully. 170 00:08:05,120 --> 00:08:07,400 Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, those two are definitely expected. 171 00:08:07,480 --> 00:08:10,800 Speaker 1: Another name floating around right now, let's talk about Rick Scott. 172 00:08:10,840 --> 00:08:13,440 Speaker 2: Your opinions on Rick Scott right. 173 00:08:13,360 --> 00:08:18,640 Speaker 9: Now, Well, he's definitely the favorite among MAGA. 174 00:08:18,800 --> 00:08:21,640 Speaker 8: Now, he doesn't have the votes in the Senate to. 175 00:08:22,400 --> 00:08:28,240 Speaker 9: Get confirmed, to get nominated rather, so that's not a 176 00:08:28,280 --> 00:08:32,560 Speaker 9: good thing. But I see President Trump's standing staying out 177 00:08:32,600 --> 00:08:36,160 Speaker 9: of the race right now because if he was to 178 00:08:36,320 --> 00:08:39,920 Speaker 9: endorse Scott and Scott fall short of the nomination there 179 00:08:39,920 --> 00:08:42,120 Speaker 9: in the Senate, that would be considered a loss, and 180 00:08:42,440 --> 00:08:43,720 Speaker 9: we don't want that to happen. 181 00:08:43,800 --> 00:08:46,120 Speaker 8: So you know, it's going to be an interesting the 182 00:08:46,120 --> 00:08:46,920 Speaker 8: way it plays out. 183 00:08:46,960 --> 00:08:49,880 Speaker 9: I'm not a big fan of thoomb or Cornyn based 184 00:08:49,960 --> 00:08:54,000 Speaker 9: upon their past voting record, not on them personally, just 185 00:08:54,040 --> 00:08:56,439 Speaker 9: what they voted on. I don't think there is strong 186 00:08:56,559 --> 00:08:59,920 Speaker 9: MAGA that we need in the Senate, So I'm hoping 187 00:09:00,320 --> 00:09:04,280 Speaker 9: Rick Scott and it finally gets the final vote and 188 00:09:04,320 --> 00:09:05,560 Speaker 9: gets pushed ahead. 189 00:09:05,559 --> 00:09:07,520 Speaker 8: But I don't think that's going to happen, to be 190 00:09:07,559 --> 00:09:08,000 Speaker 8: honest with you. 191 00:09:08,120 --> 00:09:10,000 Speaker 1: Let me follow up, Brian, is there anyone else you'd 192 00:09:10,080 --> 00:09:12,800 Speaker 1: like to see on for Senate majority leader or any 193 00:09:12,800 --> 00:09:14,320 Speaker 1: other names that come to mind that you think could 194 00:09:14,360 --> 00:09:14,960 Speaker 1: be in the running. 195 00:09:17,160 --> 00:09:21,559 Speaker 8: I like Josh Holly. He seems to be someone that's 196 00:09:21,600 --> 00:09:22,080 Speaker 8: out there. 197 00:09:22,600 --> 00:09:25,560 Speaker 9: You got to look for people that were willing to 198 00:09:25,600 --> 00:09:28,640 Speaker 9: get on the Trump campaign and showed up to him 199 00:09:29,000 --> 00:09:34,200 Speaker 9: with him at campaign stops and during the primary portion 200 00:09:34,400 --> 00:09:36,160 Speaker 9: of all of it, someone that was there from the 201 00:09:36,240 --> 00:09:39,480 Speaker 9: very beginning. And I'm just very reluckily because if you remember, 202 00:09:39,920 --> 00:09:42,040 Speaker 9: one of the top reasons why we don't get things. 203 00:09:41,920 --> 00:09:46,000 Speaker 8: Accomplished is because the Senate. We have a very weak Senate, 204 00:09:46,120 --> 00:09:47,640 Speaker 8: and so we need a leader. 205 00:09:47,679 --> 00:09:51,360 Speaker 9: We need someone that's going to push President Trump's agenda forward, 206 00:09:51,679 --> 00:09:53,520 Speaker 9: and we don't need kind of a weak link in 207 00:09:53,520 --> 00:09:55,240 Speaker 9: the Senate. But I will say this, this is a 208 00:09:55,280 --> 00:09:58,480 Speaker 9: different session of Congress and the Senate because when we 209 00:09:58,520 --> 00:10:01,880 Speaker 9: get back into session, anyone that is not in lockstep 210 00:10:01,960 --> 00:10:04,520 Speaker 9: of President Trump, I can promise you is going to 211 00:10:04,559 --> 00:10:07,280 Speaker 9: get called out by people white behind me, as well 212 00:10:07,320 --> 00:10:09,760 Speaker 9: as this network itself, because we've got to make sure 213 00:10:09,800 --> 00:10:12,319 Speaker 9: that we don't repeat the first two years of twenty 214 00:10:12,400 --> 00:10:15,000 Speaker 9: sixteen at all. We need the right leadership in both 215 00:10:15,000 --> 00:10:17,000 Speaker 9: the House and the Senate to push things forward. 216 00:10:17,080 --> 00:10:18,560 Speaker 7: But Brian, how do you thread that needle? 217 00:10:18,640 --> 00:10:21,720 Speaker 6: Because you have the MAGA agenda, you got both chambers 218 00:10:21,720 --> 00:10:23,839 Speaker 6: of Congress, but you need someone that's got to be 219 00:10:23,880 --> 00:10:25,960 Speaker 6: willing to get at least a little bit of Democrat 220 00:10:26,000 --> 00:10:29,000 Speaker 6: support or you never get anything passed. So how do 221 00:10:29,080 --> 00:10:31,640 Speaker 6: you not get out of there? Artist, Mitch McConnell. You know, 222 00:10:31,640 --> 00:10:33,839 Speaker 6: there's been some criticism of Mike Johnson. I understand that 223 00:10:33,880 --> 00:10:35,360 Speaker 6: there was criticism of Kevin McCarthy. 224 00:10:35,520 --> 00:10:37,280 Speaker 7: Paul Ryan. You go back and back and back. How 225 00:10:37,320 --> 00:10:38,080 Speaker 7: do you get what you want. 226 00:10:37,960 --> 00:10:40,839 Speaker 6: To accomplish while also maintaining the fact that it has 227 00:10:40,880 --> 00:10:42,880 Speaker 6: to be some level by partisanship or you'll never get 228 00:10:42,880 --> 00:10:44,120 Speaker 6: it done. 229 00:10:45,000 --> 00:10:47,600 Speaker 8: Yeah, I don't. You know, that's a match up question here. 230 00:10:47,600 --> 00:10:51,120 Speaker 9: But I think the power of the constituents can really 231 00:10:51,240 --> 00:10:53,800 Speaker 9: light up the office phones of some of these senators 232 00:10:53,800 --> 00:10:57,480 Speaker 9: that aren't in agreement with the America First Agenda. 233 00:10:57,720 --> 00:10:59,160 Speaker 8: I really think the people. 234 00:10:59,200 --> 00:11:00,959 Speaker 9: I really think the mayor can people learn for the 235 00:11:01,000 --> 00:11:04,199 Speaker 9: first time that their voice does matter and they can 236 00:11:04,400 --> 00:11:08,560 Speaker 9: dictate that their representative, their center that represents the people, 237 00:11:08,960 --> 00:11:12,440 Speaker 9: must do what the people want, not what the lobbyists 238 00:11:12,480 --> 00:11:15,120 Speaker 9: want when not what the consultants want, not what they 239 00:11:15,160 --> 00:11:15,959 Speaker 9: personally want. 240 00:11:16,080 --> 00:11:19,839 Speaker 8: It's what the people.

And that's something that the Biden and Harris 326 00:15:32,880 --> 00:15:35,560 Speaker 12: administration have not understood. What you talk about all the time, 327 00:15:35,600 --> 00:15:38,280 Speaker 12: guys on this show, is they don't understand the culture 328 00:15:38,280 --> 00:15:41,360 Speaker 12: in the Middle East. They don't understand strength. The Middle 329 00:15:41,400 --> 00:15:44,440 Speaker 12: East respects strength. That is just the way that the 330 00:15:44,440 --> 00:15:47,080 Speaker 12: culture has been and always has been and will be. 331 00:15:47,360 --> 00:15:51,600 Speaker 12: And Mike Walls stands that, and of course President Trump 332 00:15:51,640 --> 00:15:55,040 Speaker 12: does too. His whole policy was in his previous term, 333 00:15:55,200 --> 00:15:59,280 Speaker 12: peace through strength. They knew that they were going what 334 00:15:59,400 --> 00:16:02,320 Speaker 12: he said was going to happen. He was a man 335 00:16:02,440 --> 00:16:04,320 Speaker 12: of his word. Trump is a man of his word, 336 00:16:04,560 --> 00:16:07,320 Speaker 12: and they feared him. And now again you're seeing these 337 00:16:07,360 --> 00:16:11,080 Speaker 12: Middle East leaders guy again respect the United States, and 338 00:16:11,120 --> 00:16:14,080 Speaker 12: you see it. And so by having someone like Mike Wallas, 339 00:16:14,080 --> 00:16:18,040 Speaker 12: Senator Rubio, they understand strength and they understand that you 340 00:16:18,120 --> 00:16:20,840 Speaker 12: need to use it and use hard power. And there 341 00:16:20,920 --> 00:16:24,400 Speaker 12: is no excuse for radical Islamic terrorism anymore right now 342 00:16:24,400 --> 00:16:26,880 Speaker 12: in the twenty first century. And so they've been taking 343 00:16:26,920 --> 00:16:30,160 Speaker 12: a very strong stance against hamas As blah I Ran. 344 00:16:30,440 --> 00:16:32,920 Speaker 12: And so it's great choices and you can really understand 345 00:16:32,960 --> 00:16:35,360 Speaker 12: what President Trump is thinking by picking these people in 346 00:16:35,360 --> 00:16:36,520 Speaker 12: these cabinet positions. 347 00:16:37,240 --> 00:16:41,280 Speaker 1: Tara Biden met with Israel's president today at the White House, 348 00:16:41,320 --> 00:16:44,000 Speaker 1: and this comes as the deadline for Israel to provide 349 00:16:44,040 --> 00:16:47,160 Speaker 1: additional aid and Gaza ends tomorrow. Do you think Biden 350 00:16:47,200 --> 00:16:49,560 Speaker 1: will impose in arms and bargo as they have threatened 351 00:16:49,560 --> 00:16:49,760 Speaker 1: to do. 352 00:16:50,960 --> 00:16:53,720 Speaker 12: Yeah, they just came out later today, just about a 353 00:16:53,760 --> 00:16:56,880 Speaker 12: little less than an hour ago, guys, State Department came 354 00:16:56,880 --> 00:17:00,040 Speaker 12: out and said that they're not going to do the 355 00:17:00,120 --> 00:17:00,800 Speaker 12: arms embargo. 356 00:17:00,880 --> 00:17:02,520 Speaker 11: They're going to leave things as are. 357 00:17:02,640 --> 00:17:05,440 Speaker 12: They're going to leave things as is with the policy 358 00:17:05,480 --> 00:17:08,160 Speaker 12: towards Israel. They're not going to sanction them or having 359 00:17:08,280 --> 00:17:11,160 Speaker 12: arms in Bargo, which is very different from thirty days 360 00:17:11,200 --> 00:17:14,520 Speaker 12: ago when we know that they were threatening to withhold weapons, 361 00:17:14,560 --> 00:17:17,320 Speaker 12: withhold arms if they didn't have more aid towards Gaza. 362 00:17:17,359 --> 00:17:19,520 Speaker 12: But I think they understand that. You know what, at 363 00:17:19,520 --> 00:17:22,520 Speaker 12: this point, Israel doesn't really care what the Biden and 364 00:17:22,520 --> 00:17:26,040 Speaker 12: Harris administrations say. It doesn't matter to them. They're looking 365 00:17:26,080 --> 00:17:29,120 Speaker 12: at President Trump coming in, They're looking at the Republicans 366 00:17:29,160 --> 00:17:31,639 Speaker 12: taking the House, They're looking at this the Republicans taking 367 00:17:31,680 --> 00:17:34,800 Speaker 12: the Senate, and they know that this administration has absolutely 368 00:17:34,920 --> 00:17:38,000 Speaker 12: zero influence right now when it comes to the Middle East. 369 00:17:38,680 --> 00:17:42,639 Speaker 3: Yeah, Tara, the war against Hesbela, it's continuing as Israel 370 00:17:42,680 --> 00:17:45,760 Speaker 3: continues strikes in Lebanon, and we want to really quickly 371 00:17:45,840 --> 00:17:48,680 Speaker 3: talk about Hesbela launching over ninety rockets in the northern 372 00:17:48,760 --> 00:17:52,879 Speaker 3: Israel yesterday. I mean, how degraded is Hesbela right now? 373 00:17:53,040 --> 00:17:54,960 Speaker 3: Do you think there's going to end up being any 374 00:17:55,000 --> 00:17:57,680 Speaker 3: sort of cease fire? I mean, I know we saw 375 00:17:57,720 --> 00:17:59,960 Speaker 3: Biden on camera today he looked as frail as ever. 376 00:18:00,200 --> 00:18:02,320 Speaker 4: But what can be done there? 377 00:18:03,480 --> 00:18:05,800 Speaker 12: I think the Biden administration again is they're going to 378 00:18:05,840 --> 00:18:07,680 Speaker 12: want to push for a ceasefire. They're going to want 379 00:18:07,680 --> 00:18:11,000 Speaker 12: to push for a ceasefire in Gaza. But honestly, like 380 00:18:11,040 --> 00:18:13,600 Speaker 12: I just said, I don't think Israel is listening, and 381 00:18:13,640 --> 00:18:14,760 Speaker 12: I think they know that. 382 00:18:14,960 --> 00:18:17,120 Speaker 11: And so right now we saw, you know, the US. 383 00:18:17,000 --> 00:18:20,920 Speaker 12: Troops Sentcom had to launch attacks and strikes against the Bouthis, 384 00:18:20,920 --> 00:18:23,919 Speaker 12: the Iranian back tooth The's. They're finally starting to target 385 00:18:23,960 --> 00:18:26,560 Speaker 12: them a little bit. But ultimately, I don't think you're 386 00:18:26,560 --> 00:18:29,680 Speaker 12: going to see a ceasefire. Hezbla is already degraded. They're 387 00:18:29,720 --> 00:18:30,840 Speaker 12: just basically cleaning it. 388 00:18:30,840 --> 00:18:32,600 Speaker 11: Up right now. And ultimately it's up to the. 389 00:18:32,640 --> 00:18:36,520 Speaker 12: Lebanon's people, the Lebanon Lebanese people right now, to be 390 00:18:36,600 --> 00:18:40,320 Speaker 12: able to stand up and stand against the Christians the Drus, 391 00:18:40,400 --> 00:18:43,960 Speaker 12: the Sunnis. They need to stand up in Lebanon and 392 00:18:44,040 --> 00:18:46,480 Speaker 12: be able to kick out Hezbla and say, you know what, 393 00:18:46,720 --> 00:18:49,760 Speaker 12: We're a sovereign nation. We don't want you in our territory. 394 00:18:49,800 --> 00:18:52,280 Speaker 12: We don't want you in our land. We don't want 395 00:18:52,320 --> 00:18:56,520 Speaker 12: you launching rockets and missiles from our communities. They need 396 00:18:56,560 --> 00:19:00,600 Speaker 12: to be the ones to ultimately kick out Hezbla and 397 00:19:00,760 --> 00:19:01,680 Speaker 12: Hamas as well. 398 00:19:01,800 --> 00:19:03,360 Speaker 11: Up in Gaza, the people as well. 399 00:19:03,400 --> 00:19:07,040 Speaker 12: You're starting to see these uprisings by the communities and 400 00:19:07,040 --> 00:19:10,800 Speaker 12: by the people in Lebanon, in Gaza against these terrorist groups. 401 00:19:10,800 --> 00:19:13,000 Speaker 12: And so I think you're starting to see this Trump effect. 402 00:19:13,000 --> 00:19:15,200 Speaker 12: They're going to Israel's going to go ahead, I think, 403 00:19:15,240 --> 00:19:16,240 Speaker 12: and defeat has blessed. 404 00:19:16,240 --> 00:19:18,080 Speaker 11: I don't think there'll be a ceasefire. 405 00:19:18,480 --> 00:19:21,320 Speaker 2: The Trump effect. I like that terminology. Terra is always 406 00:19:21,320 --> 00:19:23,240 Speaker 2: a wealth of knowledge. Thank you so much. 407 00:19:24,400 --> 00:19:25,040 Speaker 11: Thanks guys. 408 00:19:25,480 --> 00:19:29,120 Speaker 1: Of course, Well coming up, Hurricanes Halleen and Milton had 409 00:19:29,119 --> 00:19:31,960 Speaker 1: a deadly effect on more than just North Carolina and 410 00:19:32,160 --> 00:19:33,159 Speaker 1: northern Florida as well. 411 00:19:33,200 --> 00:19:34,080 Speaker 2: We'll find out how. 412 00:19:33,920 --> 00:19:36,720 Speaker 1: Tennessee is doing from these horrific storms. 413 00:19:36,720 --> 00:19:38,960 Speaker 2: We're back in just a moment with a life report. 414 00:19:39,000 --> 00:20:11,320 Speaker 2: Don't go anywhere.

But one state isn't getting a lot of attention. 418 00:20:21,040 --> 00:20:24,040 Speaker 5: That's Tennessee.

What do you want the American people 496 00:24:22,000 --> 00:24:24,440 Speaker 5: to know that you don't think we're aware of that's 497 00:24:24,560 --> 00:24:25,280 Speaker 5: happening there. 498 00:24:26,640 --> 00:24:28,800 Speaker 10: I want the American people to know that these people 499 00:24:28,800 --> 00:24:31,240 Speaker 10: do not want to hand out. These people, if given 500 00:24:31,480 --> 00:24:37,640 Speaker 10: the resources and the needed supplies, will actually build for themselves. 501 00:24:38,080 --> 00:24:40,960 Speaker 10: They want to stay here in their county. Some of 502 00:24:41,000 --> 00:24:45,560 Speaker 10: them are like second third generation families and their homes 503 00:24:45,560 --> 00:24:46,840 Speaker 10: that they have lived in and passed down. 504 00:24:46,880 --> 00:24:48,000 Speaker 13: A lot of these people. 505 00:24:49,240 --> 00:24:52,040 Speaker 10: Owned what they had and they didn't have insurances in 506 00:24:52,080 --> 00:24:55,320 Speaker 10: a lot of cases, and then actually the most devastating 507 00:24:55,400 --> 00:24:58,159 Speaker 10: side of it, Tara, is that there are resources like 508 00:24:58,280 --> 00:25:01,800 Speaker 10: FEMA in different other organizations that offers support. But guess what, 509 00:25:01,840 --> 00:25:04,400 Speaker 10: you have to have documentation, and guess what when your 510 00:25:04,400 --> 00:25:07,320 Speaker 10: house goes down the river and gets displaced or in 511 00:25:07,359 --> 00:25:09,720 Speaker 10: a wreckage like what's behind me right now. 512 00:25:10,000 --> 00:25:11,879 Speaker 13: You can't locate those needed documents. 513 00:25:12,200 --> 00:25:13,840 Speaker 10: And a lot of people want to know, hey, did 514 00:25:13,840 --> 00:25:14,960 Speaker 10: you pay your last bill? 515 00:25:15,160 --> 00:25:17,639 Speaker 13: You know, where is your deed?

There, certainly is, 655 00:32:29,400 --> 00:32:31,240 Speaker 3: and so we were planning the show today, I thought, 656 00:32:31,280 --> 00:32:33,240 Speaker 3: who is the most New York guy I know? It's 657 00:32:33,360 --> 00:32:35,400 Speaker 3: Gavin Wax He's a president of the New York Young 658 00:32:35,440 --> 00:32:37,479 Speaker 3: Republican Club and he joins us here. 659 00:32:37,520 --> 00:32:39,800 Speaker 4: Brother, how's it going? Welcome to Special Report? 660 00:32:40,880 --> 00:32:42,880 Speaker 14: Well, thank you for that introduction, Kaitlin. It's great to 661 00:32:42,920 --> 00:32:44,160 Speaker 14: be on. Thank you guys for having me. 662 00:32:44,920 --> 00:32:47,360 Speaker 5: Yeah, So starting things off here, there's a lot of 663 00:32:47,440 --> 00:32:49,960 Speaker 5: youth in this cabinet, a lot of New York representation, 664 00:32:50,120 --> 00:32:52,400 Speaker 5: like we mentioned, So what do you think that's all about. 665 00:32:53,720 --> 00:32:56,280 Speaker 14: Well, listen, I think New York obviously will always have 666 00:32:56,320 --> 00:32:59,400 Speaker 14: a special place in the heart of President Trump. We 667 00:32:59,440 --> 00:33:01,480 Speaker 14: saw a huge gains both in New York City and 668 00:33:01,560 --> 00:33:04,520 Speaker 14: New York State, and he did a lot of different 669 00:33:04,560 --> 00:33:07,840 Speaker 14: campaigning in the Empire State and in the Big Apple, 670 00:33:08,360 --> 00:33:11,120 Speaker 14: very surprising for a Republican candidate. He had one of 671 00:33:11,120 --> 00:33:14,360 Speaker 14: his last major rallies at Madison Square Garden. I was 672 00:33:14,400 --> 00:33:16,560 Speaker 14: honored to be a part of that effort along with 673 00:33:16,600 --> 00:33:18,640 Speaker 14: the broader New York Young Republican Club and all of 674 00:33:18,640 --> 00:33:21,720 Speaker 14: our members, and that was a huge success. Obviously, he 675 00:33:21,800 --> 00:33:26,200 Speaker 14: hosted some historic rallies in the Bronx Nassau, different stops 676 00:33:26,240 --> 00:33:28,800 Speaker 14: across the city, whether it was the Bodega Run or 677 00:33:28,840 --> 00:33:31,840 Speaker 14: stopping to visit firefighters or stopping at construction sites. So 678 00:33:31,920 --> 00:33:34,400 Speaker 14: he really took his time in his home state, at 679 00:33:34,400 --> 00:33:36,240 Speaker 14: home city, and I think it paid off dividends for 680 00:33:36,360 --> 00:33:38,840 Speaker 14: him as it pertained to the national vote. We saw 681 00:33:38,920 --> 00:33:41,560 Speaker 14: huge swings in his favor, some of the largest swings 682 00:33:41,560 --> 00:33:43,760 Speaker 14: on a county by County basis, even in the Bronx 683 00:33:43,800 --> 00:33:46,520 Speaker 14: of all places, shifting twenty two points to the right. 684 00:33:47,080 --> 00:33:48,760 Speaker 14: So I think it's an amazing thing to see. And look, 685 00:33:48,840 --> 00:33:51,760 Speaker 14: some of his staunchest supporters have come out of New York. 686 00:33:51,800 --> 00:33:55,720 Speaker 14: You mentioned House Conference Chairwoman Congressman at Lastaphonic, a member 687 00:33:55,760 --> 00:33:57,560 Speaker 14: of the New York and Republican Club. She has been 688 00:33:57,600 --> 00:34:00,280 Speaker 14: one of the most vocal and outso can defend of 689 00:34:00,400 --> 00:34:03,600 Speaker 14: President Trump and his agenda, along with congress former Congressman 690 00:34:03,760 --> 00:34:07,720 Speaker 14: and gubernatorial candidate Lee Zelden, who got almost forty seven 691 00:34:07,760 --> 00:34:10,880 Speaker 14: percent statewide in New York. And listen, President Trump at 692 00:34:10,880 --> 00:34:13,640 Speaker 14: the presidential level had the best result in New York 693 00:34:13,680 --> 00:34:15,960 Speaker 14: State and in New York City, I believe in forty 694 00:34:16,040 --> 00:34:19,120 Speaker 14: years in the city probably even longer, but for the states, 695 00:34:19,120 --> 00:34:21,799 Speaker 14: certainly since Reagan last ran and won it. So these 696 00:34:21,800 --> 00:34:24,600 Speaker 14: were historic numbers, and I think he's rewarding many of 697 00:34:24,640 --> 00:34:27,120 Speaker 14: the top New York Republicans who have been very loyal 698 00:34:27,120 --> 00:34:29,440 Speaker 14: to him from the very beginning and have been supporting 699 00:34:29,520 --> 00:34:30,760 Speaker 14: him in his campaign throughout. 700 00:34:31,600 --> 00:34:34,600 Speaker 3: I make some good points. I love those ny y 701 00:34:34,760 --> 00:34:37,080 Speaker 3: r C members. Fun fact for everyone here in the studio, 702 00:34:37,160 --> 00:34:40,240 Speaker 3: I'm actually a dues paying member of the club. Gavin 703 00:34:40,840 --> 00:34:43,759 Speaker 3: got his hooks into me a while ago, and you 704 00:34:43,800 --> 00:34:46,160 Speaker 3: guys know to throw a party now. Speaking of parties, 705 00:34:46,200 --> 00:34:49,600 Speaker 3: Gavin a lot of new names, a lot of new personalities, 706 00:34:50,000 --> 00:34:53,360 Speaker 3: you know in the party here. What's the vibe like? 707 00:34:53,400 --> 00:34:56,839 Speaker 3: Are you pleased with these selections? Are you hoping that 708 00:34:57,440 --> 00:35:00,279 Speaker 3: you know they course correct with some different ones? 709 00:35:01,560 --> 00:35:03,000 Speaker 4: Where's the vibe at right now with you? 710 00:35:03,960 --> 00:35:05,360 Speaker 7: Well, so far, I'm very happy. 711 00:35:05,440 --> 00:35:08,480 Speaker 14: I think there's been a slew of fantastic picks and 712 00:35:08,560 --> 00:35:10,880 Speaker 14: the chief of staff to the deputy chief to the 713 00:35:10,960 --> 00:35:13,040 Speaker 14: UN Ambassador as we mentioned to the EPA, and of 714 00:35:13,040 --> 00:35:15,360 Speaker 14: course the borders are Tom Holman, who I think is 715 00:35:15,360 --> 00:35:16,520 Speaker 14: going to be fantastic. 716 00:35:17,040 --> 00:35:19,319 Speaker 15: There obviously is a lot of speculation going on. 717 00:35:19,560 --> 00:35:23,000 Speaker 14: I think we can't really consider anything confirmed until it's 718 00:35:23,000 --> 00:35:25,400 Speaker 14: out on President Trump's truth or it's coming through an 719 00:35:25,400 --> 00:35:29,320 Speaker 14: official campaign channel. I think there's a lot of stuff 720 00:35:29,360 --> 00:35:31,560 Speaker 14: going on behind the scenes. There's a lot of different 721 00:35:31,760 --> 00:35:34,440 Speaker 14: moving and shaking and wheeling and dealing and a lot 722 00:35:34,520 --> 00:35:36,800 Speaker 14: of people are you know, navigating through the media circus 723 00:35:36,880 --> 00:35:39,840 Speaker 14: right now. But until we hear hard confirmations, I'm gonna 724 00:35:40,000 --> 00:35:42,120 Speaker 14: withhold comment on some of those, but I think so 725 00:35:42,280 --> 00:35:45,520 Speaker 14: far for the ones that we've seen actually formally announced, 726 00:35:45,560 --> 00:35:47,560 Speaker 14: I think he's assembling a dream team. I think these 727 00:35:47,600 --> 00:35:53,600 Speaker 14: are strong, sophisticated leaders, who are confirmable, who are loyal, 728 00:35:53,680 --> 00:35:56,680 Speaker 14: who are aligned, and I think he's developing a far 729 00:35:56,719 --> 00:35:59,480 Speaker 14: superior cabinet to anything we've seen in the past. So 730 00:35:59,520 --> 00:36:01,840 Speaker 14: I'm very excited to see how this continues to develop 731 00:36:02,000 --> 00:36:04,000 Speaker 14: with many of these other positions to fill, and then 732 00:36:04,040 --> 00:36:07,160 Speaker 14: beyond that, the five thousand plus I can never remember 733 00:36:07,200 --> 00:36:10,200 Speaker 14: the number other presidential appointments, many of which do not 734 00:36:10,320 --> 00:36:13,719 Speaker 14: require Senate confirmation. Obviously, there's some battles going on in 735 00:36:13,719 --> 00:36:16,240 Speaker 14: the Senate, which is really going to determine the MAGA agendas. 736 00:36:16,239 --> 00:36:17,279 Speaker 15: We have a lot of different. 737 00:36:17,000 --> 00:36:19,719 Speaker 14: Moving pieces here, but it's certainly an exciting time if 738 00:36:19,719 --> 00:36:20,960 Speaker 14: you're an observer of politics. 739 00:36:22,160 --> 00:36:25,360 Speaker 3: Yeah no, kidd man, Well okay, you're inyy RC president 740 00:36:25,440 --> 00:36:27,400 Speaker 3: in one of the more successful clubs in the country. 741 00:36:27,960 --> 00:36:31,040 Speaker 3: Scott Pressler is saying he's going to flip Jersey next. Now, 742 00:36:31,200 --> 00:36:33,840 Speaker 3: real quick, we got about forty five seconds. Do you 743 00:36:34,000 --> 00:36:37,480 Speaker 3: see the GOP making inroads over up in your neighborhood, 744 00:36:37,520 --> 00:36:39,319 Speaker 3: in your neck of the woods. I know, we've seen 745 00:36:39,360 --> 00:36:43,040 Speaker 3: some numbers flip this last election. Where do you think 746 00:36:43,040 --> 00:36:43,680 Speaker 3: that goes next? 747 00:36:44,360 --> 00:36:44,480 Speaker 8: Oh? 748 00:36:44,560 --> 00:36:45,400 Speaker 15: Absolutely, Listen. 749 00:36:45,400 --> 00:36:47,160 Speaker 14: I think in the next ten years we're going to 750 00:36:47,200 --> 00:36:49,359 Speaker 14: be talking about New Jersey as a purple to swing state. 751 00:36:49,400 --> 00:36:51,160 Speaker 14: I think New York is not far behind. I think 752 00:36:51,160 --> 00:36:53,520 Speaker 14: even places like Rhode Island and other places in the 753 00:36:53,520 --> 00:36:56,680 Speaker 14: Northeast are shifting. Look, this is an expensive media market 754 00:36:56,680 --> 00:36:58,479 Speaker 14: in the New York metro area, so it's very hard 755 00:36:58,480 --> 00:37:00,919 Speaker 14: to make a dent with the traditional media. But look, 756 00:37:00,960 --> 00:37:03,440 Speaker 14: President Trump did a few rallies to a few key stops, 757 00:37:03,600 --> 00:37:05,520 Speaker 14: and he really moved the needle in a massive way 758 00:37:05,560 --> 00:37:07,680 Speaker 14: without a ton of spending, without a ton of budget here. 759 00:37:07,840 --> 00:37:10,520 Speaker 14: So look what could happen if we really solidify the 760 00:37:10,560 --> 00:37:13,120 Speaker 14: swing states that are now existing, whether it's PA and 761 00:37:13,120 --> 00:37:14,680 Speaker 14: the Ross Belt and elsewhere, and we can start to 762 00:37:14,719 --> 00:37:17,000 Speaker 14: expand them out more. So I think New Jersey is 763 00:37:17,120 --> 00:37:20,920 Speaker 14: prime for either a gubernatorial flip or even a presidential 764 00:37:20,960 --> 00:37:23,680 Speaker 14: flip down down the home stretch and some of these 765 00:37:23,719 --> 00:37:25,880 Speaker 14: later cycles to come. And I think New York is 766 00:37:25,920 --> 00:37:28,320 Speaker 14: in the same kind of category. It's expensive. I understand 767 00:37:28,360 --> 00:37:31,440 Speaker 14: we're up against a lot of entrenched Democrat infrastructure, but 768 00:37:31,480 --> 00:37:34,000 Speaker 14: with the right strategy, the right approach, the right sort 769 00:37:34,000 --> 00:37:36,799 Speaker 14: of message, which is populism, I think you could really 770 00:37:36,840 --> 00:37:38,600 Speaker 14: make it dent to the Northeast and break a new 771 00:37:38,680 --> 00:37:39,120 Speaker 14: blue wall. 772 00:37:39,160 --> 00:37:41,480 Speaker 5: So I would love to see that absolutely forward, Keevin. 773 00:37:41,560 --> 00:37:43,560 Speaker 5: I so appreciate your time talking with us today.

Lee 811 00:39:48,320 --> 00:39:51,319 Speaker 16: is heavily involved in the Trump campaign, going around and 812 00:39:51,320 --> 00:39:54,200 Speaker 16: singing at all the rallies. Obviously, he and I are 813 00:39:54,239 --> 00:39:58,080 Speaker 16: both strong supporters of President Trump, and it just made sense. 814 00:39:58,160 --> 00:40:00,640 Speaker 16: And then we had Veterans Day right after, and this 815 00:40:00,719 --> 00:40:03,200 Speaker 16: song resonates with so many people it just seemed like 816 00:40:03,239 --> 00:40:04,040 Speaker 16: a no brainer. 817 00:40:04,200 --> 00:40:07,840 Speaker 1: Well, yeah, your timing was absolutely great, considering that November 818 00:40:07,880 --> 00:40:10,399 Speaker 1: first was just before the election and also just before 819 00:40:10,440 --> 00:40:12,840 Speaker 1: Veterans Day as well, as you'd mentioned. So what was 820 00:40:12,840 --> 00:40:16,759 Speaker 1: the thought process on releasing this. Did you think this 821 00:40:16,840 --> 00:40:19,040 Speaker 1: will be a buzzier. 822 00:40:18,600 --> 00:40:19,279 Speaker 2: Song per se? 823 00:40:21,080 --> 00:40:22,719 Speaker 16: Yeah, of course, I mean that goes into it too, 824 00:40:22,760 --> 00:40:25,400 Speaker 16: But really the driving force behind it was, this is 825 00:40:25,440 --> 00:40:28,480 Speaker 16: a song about unity. This is about America, and we 826 00:40:28,600 --> 00:40:32,600 Speaker 16: believe in peace, freedom, and that's exactly what this song represents. 827 00:40:32,640 --> 00:40:33,839 Speaker 15: Whether you're on the left, whether you're. 828 00:40:33,760 --> 00:40:37,800 Speaker 16: On the right, this song connects at a human level, 829 00:40:38,640 --> 00:40:38,960 Speaker 16: right to. 830 00:40:38,960 --> 00:40:42,080 Speaker 15: The soul and the heart. So that was the purpose 831 00:40:42,120 --> 00:40:42,600 Speaker 15: behind it. 832 00:40:42,800 --> 00:40:45,120 Speaker 16: And you know, I've done a lot of these rock 833 00:40:45,160 --> 00:40:48,799 Speaker 16: covers in the past myself, and we did, you know, 834 00:40:48,880 --> 00:40:51,480 Speaker 16: mister Red, White, and Blue with Coffee Anderson, which was 835 00:40:51,480 --> 00:40:56,080 Speaker 16: a very patriotic song as well. And so getting Lee 836 00:40:56,239 --> 00:40:59,200 Speaker 16: on this truly is a highlight of my life and 837 00:40:59,239 --> 00:40:59,920 Speaker 16: it's something that on. 838 00:40:59,880 --> 00:41:01,760 Speaker 15: The takes for granted and we'll never forget. 839 00:41:02,080 --> 00:41:03,640 Speaker 6: So, Drew, you mentioned the fact that Lee had been 840 00:41:03,640 --> 00:41:06,919 Speaker 6: performing at a number of the Trump rallies, and talk 841 00:41:06,920 --> 00:41:09,600 Speaker 6: to me a little bit about the political climate within 842 00:41:09,640 --> 00:41:11,879 Speaker 6: the music industry. I used to live in Nashville and 843 00:41:12,320 --> 00:41:15,160 Speaker 6: you know, on the conservative side you had people like 844 00:41:15,200 --> 00:41:18,560 Speaker 6: Aaron Lewis and John Rich and Kid Rock and Chris Jansen. 845 00:41:18,800 --> 00:41:20,800 Speaker 6: And on the left you have people like Mickey Guyton 846 00:41:20,880 --> 00:41:22,320 Speaker 6: I believe, who performed at the DNC. 847 00:41:23,000 --> 00:41:24,560 Speaker 7: Tim McGraw has thought to be liberal. 848 00:41:24,960 --> 00:41:28,680 Speaker 6: The Chicks obviously formerly the Dixie Chicks, Garth Brooks, Brad Paisley. 849 00:41:28,880 --> 00:41:30,960 Speaker 6: So tell me a bit about the political climate now 850 00:41:31,000 --> 00:41:31,600 Speaker 6: in Nashville. 851 00:41:32,320 --> 00:41:33,720 Speaker 7: Do you feel like a lot. 852 00:41:33,600 --> 00:41:36,880 Speaker 6: Of them supported the president Trump being reelected or do 853 00:41:36,920 --> 00:41:38,280 Speaker 6: you think it was split mixed? 854 00:41:38,320 --> 00:41:38,879 Speaker 7: What do you think? 855 00:41:39,719 --> 00:41:42,400 Speaker 16: So, first off, I'm actually I actually live in Michigan, 856 00:41:42,560 --> 00:41:45,239 Speaker 16: so I'm not directly in Nashville. If I go down there, 857 00:41:45,280 --> 00:41:47,160 Speaker 16: I usually hop on a flight, you know, I'm there 858 00:41:47,160 --> 00:41:50,360 Speaker 16: within an hour and a half. But yeah, I mean everything, 859 00:41:50,520 --> 00:41:52,560 Speaker 16: you know, my elber and my social media is pretty 860 00:41:52,640 --> 00:41:55,600 Speaker 16: much just tuned into me. I have now ran into 861 00:41:55,719 --> 00:41:59,799 Speaker 16: any conflict with anybody within the industry that had to 862 00:41:59,840 --> 00:42:03,080 Speaker 16: do with politics. I'm sure Lee has time and time again. 863 00:42:03,120 --> 00:42:06,759 Speaker 16: I mean, we've seen this happen, But thankfully, I've been 864 00:42:06,760 --> 00:42:08,719 Speaker 16: pretty blessed that I haven't had to lose any relationships 865 00:42:08,760 --> 00:42:09,839 Speaker 16: because of my political views. 866 00:42:10,400 --> 00:42:12,239 Speaker 1: Well, you said You're from Michigan, and that's a. 867 00:42:12,200 --> 00:42:15,240 Speaker 2: State that President Trump had just one. 868 00:42:15,719 --> 00:42:17,680 Speaker 1: Could you feel in the past few months that Michigan 869 00:42:17,920 --> 00:42:18,800 Speaker 1: was turning red? 870 00:42:19,600 --> 00:42:20,200 Speaker 8: Oh my gosh. 871 00:42:20,280 --> 00:42:21,720 Speaker 15: I mean, you drive around the whole state. 872 00:42:21,760 --> 00:42:22,160 Speaker 7: You can tell. 873 00:42:22,200 --> 00:42:24,239 Speaker 16: Ready, you could tell right away that Michigan was not 874 00:42:24,239 --> 00:42:26,520 Speaker 16: going to be a blue state for this election. 875 00:42:26,840 --> 00:42:27,120 Speaker 11: It was. 876 00:42:28,600 --> 00:42:31,200 Speaker 16: It was Trump country here, no doubt about it. So 877 00:42:32,320 --> 00:42:36,279 Speaker 16: it couldn't have gone any better. And if the state 878 00:42:36,360 --> 00:42:38,920 Speaker 16: was blue, I would have been completely utterly shocked. 879 00:42:39,520 --> 00:42:42,160 Speaker 2: So why do you think Michigan went towards the right? 880 00:42:42,200 --> 00:42:43,560 Speaker 2: Why do you think it was Trump country? 881 00:42:44,880 --> 00:42:47,800 Speaker 15: We have blue collar workers here. I mean, it's Motor City. 882 00:42:48,080 --> 00:42:51,479 Speaker 16: You know that people want this place turned around and 883 00:42:51,560 --> 00:42:52,880 Speaker 16: we want to make sure that this goes in the 884 00:42:52,960 --> 00:42:56,080 Speaker 16: right direction for blue collar workers and middle class families. 885 00:42:56,160 --> 00:42:59,160 Speaker 16: And President Trump is going to do that. Under the 886 00:42:59,160 --> 00:43:00,719 Speaker 16: Biden administration, it was not. 887 00:43:00,719 --> 00:43:01,439 Speaker 8: Going the right way. 888 00:43:01,800 --> 00:43:04,400 Speaker 6: It's so interesting, Drew, because Michelle and I analyzed the 889 00:43:04,480 --> 00:43:08,320 Speaker 6: heck out of you know, Michigan, Wisconsin, the polls. In 890 00:43:08,360 --> 00:43:10,040 Speaker 6: the end we're kind of saying we weren't really sure 891 00:43:10,040 --> 00:43:11,400 Speaker 6: what was going to happen with Michigan. And I mean, 892 00:43:11,400 --> 00:43:13,600 Speaker 6: you got all seven battleground states that went for Trump, 893 00:43:13,719 --> 00:43:17,040 Speaker 6: So that's pretty significant. This is something that we still 894 00:43:17,040 --> 00:43:18,400 Speaker 6: look back on now and I think we're kind of 895 00:43:18,440 --> 00:43:22,359 Speaker 6: amazed that, especially since we knew the results election so quickly. Drew, 896 00:43:22,400 --> 00:43:24,640 Speaker 6: I want to talk to you musically about the arrangement 897 00:43:24,760 --> 00:43:25,400 Speaker 6: of this song. 898 00:43:25,680 --> 00:43:27,720 Speaker 7: So what did you have in mind musically? 899 00:43:27,800 --> 00:43:30,839 Speaker 6: Did you hear Lee's song differently and did you want 900 00:43:30,840 --> 00:43:32,440 Speaker 6: it to have a different feel or did you want 901 00:43:32,440 --> 00:43:34,880 Speaker 6: to reach a different audience. What was that thought process 902 00:43:34,960 --> 00:43:36,360 Speaker 6: like from an arrangement perspective. 903 00:43:36,920 --> 00:43:38,960 Speaker 16: Sure, that's a great question. So you know, we do 904 00:43:39,480 --> 00:43:42,239 Speaker 16: a lot of these songs and these remixes. You know, 905 00:43:42,320 --> 00:43:44,520 Speaker 16: you can I think what a lot of people when 906 00:43:44,560 --> 00:43:47,360 Speaker 16: they do this, they take it too far. You know, 907 00:43:47,440 --> 00:43:49,680 Speaker 16: you still have to pay respect to that original version, 908 00:43:50,000 --> 00:43:51,560 Speaker 16: and we always really try to do that. 909 00:43:51,640 --> 00:43:52,600 Speaker 15: We don't want to take. 910 00:43:52,480 --> 00:43:54,719 Speaker 16: The song and just completely change it and you know, 911 00:43:54,920 --> 00:43:58,080 Speaker 16: kind of butcher the original version because the original sound 912 00:43:58,120 --> 00:44:00,279 Speaker 16: is really what made it so great, and you know, 913 00:44:01,600 --> 00:44:03,759 Speaker 16: it's really just kind of giving it that extra mph 914 00:44:04,480 --> 00:44:07,880 Speaker 16: that that I don't want to say it needs. But 915 00:44:07,960 --> 00:44:09,680 Speaker 16: you know, our goal is to just make it more 916 00:44:09,760 --> 00:44:13,120 Speaker 16: modern and push it out to a whole new generation 917 00:44:13,160 --> 00:44:15,799 Speaker 16: of people, and I think that we were successful in that. 918 00:44:16,320 --> 00:44:19,480 Speaker 1: Well, speaking of a whole new generation, Trump has gained 919 00:44:19,560 --> 00:44:22,680 Speaker 1: with nearly every single demographic, including young people. 920 00:44:22,719 --> 00:44:24,400 Speaker 2: And I don't want to date you because people always 921 00:44:24,480 --> 00:44:26,839 Speaker 2: date me wrong. I'm with my age as well. 922 00:44:26,880 --> 00:44:30,520 Speaker 1: But do you think this song, the momentum behind it, 923 00:44:30,560 --> 00:44:33,319 Speaker 1: the momentum behind this past election, do you think that 924 00:44:33,400 --> 00:44:36,239 Speaker 1: it's having a major effect on the younger generations, the 925 00:44:36,280 --> 00:44:38,680 Speaker 1: generations that quite frankly, Bo and I were a little 926 00:44:38,680 --> 00:44:40,480 Speaker 1: nervous about. 927 00:44:40,239 --> 00:44:42,960 Speaker 16: One thousand percent. And you know, I'll be twenty eight 928 00:44:42,960 --> 00:44:46,600 Speaker 16: in a few days here, my birthdays on Friday. And no, 929 00:44:47,080 --> 00:44:49,480 Speaker 16: the younger people, and that's why Baron Trump was so 930 00:44:50,360 --> 00:44:53,839 Speaker 16: pivotal and you know, influential with his father. I mean 931 00:44:54,560 --> 00:44:57,239 Speaker 16: he helped him get on you know, told and like 932 00:44:57,239 --> 00:44:58,680 Speaker 16: you got to go on these podcasts. This is where 933 00:44:58,719 --> 00:45:01,360 Speaker 16: the younger people are, and younger peop people absolutely loved Trump, 934 00:45:01,760 --> 00:45:03,160 Speaker 16: absolutely loved Trump. 935 00:45:03,600 --> 00:45:07,040 Speaker 6: Talk about drew the directors for this music video because 936 00:45:07,080 --> 00:45:08,759 Speaker 6: I was I was watching it, and again, I don't 937 00:45:08,760 --> 00:45:11,120 Speaker 6: know how much influence you had and how visually what 938 00:45:11,160 --> 00:45:13,120 Speaker 6: you want to do, but I noticed there's first responders 939 00:45:13,400 --> 00:45:15,040 Speaker 6: there are veterans, of course, Senate. 940 00:45:15,000 --> 00:45:16,680 Speaker 7: There are average every day Americans. 941 00:45:16,680 --> 00:45:18,040 Speaker 6: And I think my favorite part of it, to be 942 00:45:18,040 --> 00:45:21,640 Speaker 6: honest with you, was the average Americans mouthing the lyrics 943 00:45:21,640 --> 00:45:23,480 Speaker 6: to the song. I thought that was a very unique 944 00:45:23,560 --> 00:45:25,400 Speaker 6: visual representation. So tell me a little bit about the 945 00:45:25,400 --> 00:45:26,480 Speaker 6: creative process on that. 946 00:45:27,120 --> 00:45:29,040 Speaker 15: Yeah, that makes me super happy. 947 00:45:29,200 --> 00:45:31,719 Speaker 16: And I'm excited you said that, because actually this entire 948 00:45:31,800 --> 00:45:37,879 Speaker 16: video was I myself planned everything for this video and 949 00:45:37,960 --> 00:45:39,960 Speaker 16: all of the every single person that you see in 950 00:45:40,000 --> 00:45:43,399 Speaker 16: this video, they are first responders, they are veterans, they 951 00:45:43,440 --> 00:45:46,200 Speaker 16: are military.
