00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:03,360
Speaker 1: Welcome to today's edition of The Klay, Travis and Buck

2
00:00:03,400 --> 00:00:04,680
Speaker 1: Sexton Show podcast.

3
00:00:04,840 --> 00:00:07,160
Speaker 2: We have new details coming in this afternoon on President

4
00:00:07,160 --> 00:00:11,399
Speaker 2: Biden's ongoing fight for his political future. Sources tel CNN,

5
00:00:11,440 --> 00:00:14,880
Speaker 2: the President told Democratic governors during yesterday's White House meeting

6
00:00:15,360 --> 00:00:18,120
Speaker 2: that he needs more sleep and he plans to stop

7
00:00:18,200 --> 00:00:19,560
Speaker 2: scheduling events.

8
00:00:19,200 --> 00:00:20,280
Speaker 1: After eight pm.

9
00:00:20,680 --> 00:00:23,479
Speaker 2: That meeting was an attempt to reassure Democratic leaders that

10
00:00:23,520 --> 00:00:27,240
Speaker 2: he could win reelection and serve out another term.

11
00:00:28,320 --> 00:00:32,839
Speaker 1: Ooh, you can't make it up. I mean, reality is

12
00:00:33,040 --> 00:00:38,040
Speaker 1: always funnier than fiction. So here you have Biden yet

13
00:00:38,040 --> 00:00:42,200
Speaker 1: another opportunity where he's going to allay the concerns, the fears.

14
00:00:42,200 --> 00:00:45,000
Speaker 1: He's going to put to bed. It's probably not the

15
00:00:46,040 --> 00:00:49,240
Speaker 1: best use of terms here in this context, a little

16
00:00:49,280 --> 00:00:55,120
Speaker 1: too little. He's going to attempt to talk these twenty

17
00:00:55,160 --> 00:01:00,080
Speaker 1: Democrat governors off of the ledge about his campaign and

18
00:01:00,360 --> 00:01:04,400
Speaker 1: his presidency. And so here's the deal. I just got

19
00:01:04,400 --> 00:01:06,640
Speaker 1: to hit the sack by eight. If I do that,

20
00:01:06,760 --> 00:01:12,480
Speaker 1: everything will be great. Can you imagine? And so yes, predictably,

21
00:01:13,640 --> 00:01:17,520
Speaker 1: uh what it is from those twenty Democrat governors, they're

22
00:01:17,520 --> 00:01:19,840
Speaker 1: a little bit freaked out, maybe even more so than

23
00:01:20,080 --> 00:01:23,360
Speaker 1: having gone into that meeting originally, and actually, this is

24
00:01:23,480 --> 00:01:27,679
Speaker 1: kind of a regular series of events that we are

25
00:01:27,720 --> 00:01:30,880
Speaker 1: now seeing. Right if you walk back before the debate,

26
00:01:31,800 --> 00:01:35,679
Speaker 1: you know, if we go back a week ago, before

27
00:01:35,720 --> 00:01:39,959
Speaker 1: the debate, what was the conversation. Are the moderators going

28
00:01:40,040 --> 00:01:42,759
Speaker 1: to do him in? You know, because you had Tapper

29
00:01:42,800 --> 00:01:45,400
Speaker 1: and Bash, a couple of moderators that had a long

30
00:01:45,520 --> 00:01:48,840
Speaker 1: history of comparing Trump to Hiller and everything else. It's

31
00:01:48,880 --> 00:01:53,960
Speaker 1: CNN as a network, and then you've you've got Biden,

32
00:01:54,160 --> 00:01:56,160
Speaker 1: and you know, we're wondering if he got to be

33
00:01:56,240 --> 00:02:03,760
Speaker 1: jacked up, and holy cow, immediately it is that shock

34
00:02:03,840 --> 00:02:08,000
Speaker 1: in that realization that wow, he really doesn't have any

35
00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:10,880
Speaker 1: game left. And if, by chance he was jacked up,

36
00:02:12,760 --> 00:02:14,880
Speaker 1: what does that mean the rest of the time anymore? Right, So,

37
00:02:15,280 --> 00:02:18,519
Speaker 1: we're expecting something to where he was going to be

38
00:02:18,520 --> 00:02:20,960
Speaker 1: able to step it up beyond what we see in

39
00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:23,839
Speaker 1: the day to day, and it actually was. Every bit

40
00:02:23,919 --> 00:02:26,320
Speaker 1: is bad, if not worse than what we see Joe

41
00:02:26,360 --> 00:02:29,080
Speaker 1: Biden do day in and day out. Similarly, you have

42
00:02:29,120 --> 00:02:31,520
Speaker 1: these governors, they go into this meeting, this is going

43
00:02:31,600 --> 00:02:34,639
Speaker 1: to be him saying, yeah, I've got to play an here,

44
00:02:35,120 --> 00:02:37,960
Speaker 1: I've got it all together. I just got to get

45
00:02:37,960 --> 00:02:42,920
Speaker 1: to bed at eight o'clock. One of the things I

46
00:02:42,960 --> 00:02:46,480
Speaker 1: was interesting about this to me, you had the president

47
00:02:46,560 --> 00:02:49,480
Speaker 1: last night, so you had the fireworks, the Independence Stay

48
00:02:49,520 --> 00:02:51,880
Speaker 1: celebration at the Capitol. He was out there in the

49
00:02:51,880 --> 00:02:55,240
Speaker 1: balcony doing the photo op until nine thirty. So I

50
00:02:55,280 --> 00:02:57,760
Speaker 1: was sitting there thinking, here you have him with this

51
00:02:57,840 --> 00:03:04,120
Speaker 1: big Stephanopolis interview today where George Deephanopolis might choose whether

52
00:03:04,480 --> 00:03:06,600
Speaker 1: Biden is going to continue in this campaign or not

53
00:03:06,720 --> 00:03:09,360
Speaker 1: based upon how he handles this interview and how the

54
00:03:09,400 --> 00:03:12,320
Speaker 1: interview is edited. That will air on ABC eight o'clock tonight,

55
00:03:13,960 --> 00:03:17,160
Speaker 1: and he's he's violated what he just told the governors

56
00:03:17,160 --> 00:03:18,520
Speaker 1: he was going to do to make sure that he's

57
00:03:18,600 --> 00:03:23,120
Speaker 1: sharp and on and on point. And he's also getting

58
00:03:23,160 --> 00:03:27,160
Speaker 1: ready to rally in Wisconsin or it is two fifteen,

59
00:03:27,240 --> 00:03:30,000
Speaker 1: he'll be rallying, which, by the way, I mean, isn't

60
00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:34,160
Speaker 1: that like an oxymoron the idea of Joe Biden and rally.

61
00:03:34,880 --> 00:03:36,720
Speaker 1: It's kind of like I think back to like the

62
00:03:36,720 --> 00:03:39,200
Speaker 1: boat parades, you'd have the Trump boat parades, and I

63
00:03:39,240 --> 00:03:41,840
Speaker 1: remember that was attempted. I lived just south of mar

64
00:03:41,880 --> 00:03:45,640
Speaker 1: Alago and We'd always see you know, the boat that

65
00:03:45,720 --> 00:03:48,760
Speaker 1: Trump boats out there, the flags and everything, and you

66
00:03:48,800 --> 00:03:51,000
Speaker 1: would see the Biden people try it, and there'd be

67
00:03:51,000 --> 00:03:54,160
Speaker 1: like two boats. There'd be like two flags Trump people

68
00:03:54,200 --> 00:03:57,800
Speaker 1: all day, the Biden people, and we'd have the binoculars

69
00:03:57,800 --> 00:03:59,960
Speaker 1: out and my wife would be like, yeah, I think

70
00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:01,839
Speaker 1: they actually do have a Biden flag on that one.

71
00:04:02,360 --> 00:04:04,480
Speaker 1: I mean, that's what it was like. This is is

72
00:04:04,560 --> 00:04:08,960
Speaker 1: kind of you know, a Trump rally a Biden rally, right,

73
00:04:09,640 --> 00:04:12,360
Speaker 1: I mean, the guy simply put sentences together and shows

74
00:04:12,400 --> 00:04:15,000
Speaker 1: that there are some dots being connected upstairs. That's considered

75
00:04:15,000 --> 00:04:18,719
Speaker 1: to win anymore. It is Brian mudd in for a claim. Buck.

76
00:04:18,760 --> 00:04:21,400
Speaker 1: I appreciate you being here with me today as many

77
00:04:21,400 --> 00:04:25,239
Speaker 1: people are enjoying an extended Independence Day weekend, including the guys.

78
00:04:25,240 --> 00:04:29,159
Speaker 1: They'll be back next week, and as we dive into

79
00:04:29,320 --> 00:04:31,839
Speaker 1: the second hour, I want to talk about swamping the

80
00:04:31,960 --> 00:04:36,520
Speaker 1: vote being the key to Trump and Republicans winning in

81
00:04:36,760 --> 00:04:42,480
Speaker 1: four months. If you think back eight years ago, the

82
00:04:42,480 --> 00:04:45,279
Speaker 1: future president of the United States ran a campaign focused

83
00:04:45,279 --> 00:04:49,960
Speaker 1: on draining the swamp, and last month, the former and

84
00:04:49,960 --> 00:04:52,839
Speaker 1: perhaps future president of the United States he launched a

85
00:04:52,880 --> 00:04:57,920
Speaker 1: campaign to swamp the vote and know this doesn't specifically

86
00:04:57,920 --> 00:05:00,240
Speaker 1: have anything to do with swamp creatures voting, and it

87
00:05:00,279 --> 00:05:04,880
Speaker 1: does have everything to do with early voting in what is,

88
00:05:04,920 --> 00:05:09,520
Speaker 1: without a doubt, the most important policy reversal you want

89
00:05:09,520 --> 00:05:13,680
Speaker 1: to know what's different about Donald Trump today compared to

90
00:05:13,839 --> 00:05:16,160
Speaker 1: when he first entered politics or even four years ago.

91
00:05:16,200 --> 00:05:22,080
Speaker 1: At this point, the single most important policy reversal, the

92
00:05:22,120 --> 00:05:26,800
Speaker 1: biggest position change he has had, is this one. When

93
00:05:26,800 --> 00:05:32,680
Speaker 1: the former president announced that the campaign was endorsing supporters

94
00:05:32,680 --> 00:05:36,040
Speaker 1: to swamp the vote. That is the name of their

95
00:05:37,120 --> 00:05:40,200
Speaker 1: campaign for early voting and vote by mail. Balance all that,

96
00:05:41,320 --> 00:05:44,760
Speaker 1: and when they announced this last month, you had Trump

97
00:05:44,839 --> 00:05:48,200
Speaker 1: giving a full throated endorsement of early voting, the use

98
00:05:48,240 --> 00:05:51,400
Speaker 1: by a vote by mail ballotsy Trump said this, He said,

99
00:05:51,440 --> 00:05:56,800
Speaker 1: Republicans must win, and we must use every appropriate tool

100
00:05:57,160 --> 00:06:02,760
Speaker 1: available to beat the Democrats. Vote early, absentee, by mail,

101
00:06:02,960 --> 00:06:06,919
Speaker 1: or in person. We must swamp the radical Democrats with

102
00:06:07,080 --> 00:06:10,720
Speaker 1: massive turnout. If we swap them, they can't cheat. It

103
00:06:10,800 --> 00:06:14,599
Speaker 1: just doesn't work out. Okay. Now, it is hard to

104
00:06:14,680 --> 00:06:19,440
Speaker 1: understate the significance of this because it's a complete reversal

105
00:06:20,120 --> 00:06:23,600
Speaker 1: of his stance from the previous election cycles. When he

106
00:06:23,600 --> 00:06:25,520
Speaker 1: would often say that the only way to ensure that

107
00:06:25,560 --> 00:06:29,520
Speaker 1: your vote would be counted was to vote on election day.

108
00:06:30,240 --> 00:06:34,960
Speaker 1: And then, following the midterm elections, which were disappointing for

109
00:06:35,040 --> 00:06:39,840
Speaker 1: Republicans outside of Florida, I really drilled down on this

110
00:06:41,760 --> 00:06:43,920
Speaker 1: one of the things that I do. I talked about

111
00:06:43,920 --> 00:06:47,400
Speaker 1: there being two sides to stories and one side of facts.

112
00:06:48,400 --> 00:06:53,080
Speaker 1: I am big into analytics, big into data and analytics,

113
00:06:53,839 --> 00:06:57,920
Speaker 1: and I wanted to know what was different about Florida

114
00:06:57,920 --> 00:07:01,880
Speaker 1: than compared to the rest of the country. And at

115
00:07:01,880 --> 00:07:05,560
Speaker 1: the time, I said that it was fair to blame Trump.

116
00:07:06,279 --> 00:07:09,960
Speaker 1: It was absolutely fair to blame Trump for a lot

117
00:07:10,000 --> 00:07:13,080
Speaker 1: of what happened in the midterm elections, and not for

118
00:07:13,120 --> 00:07:15,800
Speaker 1: the reasons that a lot of people you know will oh,

119
00:07:15,920 --> 00:07:18,560
Speaker 1: you know, Trump endorsed candidates that that didn't win and

120
00:07:18,640 --> 00:07:21,640
Speaker 1: have only had like the establishment rhino types, it would

121
00:07:21,640 --> 00:07:23,840
Speaker 1: have been better. I'm not talking about that kind of thing.

122
00:07:23,880 --> 00:07:30,480
Speaker 1: I'm talking about voting Democrats. They continued to play the

123
00:07:30,520 --> 00:07:34,400
Speaker 1: game the way that the game is played all across

124
00:07:34,440 --> 00:07:37,680
Speaker 1: the country, taking advantage of vote by mail and early voting,

125
00:07:38,280 --> 00:07:41,600
Speaker 1: while Republicans continue to largely ignore it and states where

126
00:07:41,920 --> 00:07:45,640
Speaker 1: valid harvesting is a thing. Republicans ignored it. So let

127
00:07:45,680 --> 00:07:49,080
Speaker 1: Democrats run ramp with the ballot harvesting. That's a surefire

128
00:07:49,160 --> 00:07:54,520
Speaker 1: way to lose and Republican voters outside of Florida, they

129
00:07:54,760 --> 00:07:59,080
Speaker 1: repeatedly listened to Trump's insistence on election day voting and

130
00:07:59,080 --> 00:08:02,800
Speaker 1: it just backfired and again. So one of the things

131
00:08:02,800 --> 00:08:04,760
Speaker 1: I was taking a look at from an analytics standpoint

132
00:08:04,800 --> 00:08:09,280
Speaker 1: is this. I made two points that proved to be

133
00:08:09,360 --> 00:08:12,280
Speaker 1: key with what happens and Florida contrasted with what didn't

134
00:08:12,280 --> 00:08:14,840
Speaker 1: happen across the rest of the country in the midterms.

135
00:08:15,040 --> 00:08:17,280
Speaker 1: And here was the first point. I said, here's what

136
00:08:17,400 --> 00:08:21,280
Speaker 1: we know. Republicans had a historically good twenty twenty election cycle,

137
00:08:21,760 --> 00:08:25,000
Speaker 1: with the record number of Republicans elected top to bottom

138
00:08:25,280 --> 00:08:28,600
Speaker 1: within the state of Florida. And I mentioned this, by

139
00:08:28,600 --> 00:08:30,760
Speaker 1: the way, a week before election day, I said, this

140
00:08:30,840 --> 00:08:35,120
Speaker 1: cycle is pacing much better, with Republicans performing nine points

141
00:08:35,160 --> 00:08:38,120
Speaker 1: better with votes by mail and seven points better with

142
00:08:38,240 --> 00:08:42,360
Speaker 1: early voting. I said early turnout suggests that the optimism

143
00:08:42,360 --> 00:08:47,079
Speaker 1: by Florida's Republicans is warranted. If these turnout trends continue

144
00:08:47,120 --> 00:08:51,760
Speaker 1: through election day, a historical red wave will play out

145
00:08:51,800 --> 00:08:55,280
Speaker 1: in Florida. They also offered this up again about a

146
00:08:55,280 --> 00:08:59,120
Speaker 1: week before election Day twenty twenty two. I said, here's

147
00:08:59,160 --> 00:09:02,280
Speaker 1: the next political trend that needs to change across the country.

148
00:09:02,320 --> 00:09:05,800
Speaker 1: Most Republicans waiting until election day to vote in person.

149
00:09:07,040 --> 00:09:09,720
Speaker 1: Your vote will count every bit as much as on

150
00:09:09,800 --> 00:09:14,680
Speaker 1: election day. And a big part of this was driven

151
00:09:14,720 --> 00:09:18,000
Speaker 1: home and an analysis that's actually done for Newsmax. It

152
00:09:18,080 --> 00:09:21,440
Speaker 1: was done by Dick Morris, you know, he of the

153
00:09:21,559 --> 00:09:28,120
Speaker 1: Clinton administration triangulation all that. Dick pointed out the impact

154
00:09:28,280 --> 00:09:32,800
Speaker 1: of early voting and two things that it accomplishes. It

155
00:09:32,880 --> 00:09:36,439
Speaker 1: was pretty eye opening. But what percentage of people who

156
00:09:36,640 --> 00:09:40,040
Speaker 1: say they're going to vote on election day don't end

157
00:09:40,080 --> 00:09:42,400
Speaker 1: up doing so? I want you to think about what

158
00:09:42,480 --> 00:09:46,920
Speaker 1: that number looks like for a moment. But what Dick

159
00:09:47,160 --> 00:09:50,240
Speaker 1: you know, pointed out in his analysis is that by

160
00:09:50,360 --> 00:09:52,520
Speaker 1: early voting, voting by mal you don't have that O

161
00:09:52,640 --> 00:09:55,040
Speaker 1: crap moment on election day that keeps you from being

162
00:09:55,080 --> 00:09:58,240
Speaker 1: able to vote. But it also does something else that's

163
00:09:58,240 --> 00:10:00,840
Speaker 1: going to be even further off of your rate unless

164
00:10:00,840 --> 00:10:06,760
Speaker 1: you're a party operative. It frees up party officials and

165
00:10:06,800 --> 00:10:11,160
Speaker 1: those working the ground game from expending time and energy

166
00:10:11,200 --> 00:10:13,959
Speaker 1: and resources. I'm trying to get you to vote. As

167
00:10:13,960 --> 00:10:16,720
Speaker 1: soon as you vote, they can turn their attention elsewhere.

168
00:10:17,760 --> 00:10:20,360
Speaker 1: So it's a one to two punch in early voting.

169
00:10:20,920 --> 00:10:23,120
Speaker 1: You allow your party to focus on getting the vote

170
00:10:23,120 --> 00:10:26,080
Speaker 1: out with those who might not be as reliable as you,

171
00:10:26,600 --> 00:10:31,320
Speaker 1: and you prevent those who moments from happening that keep

172
00:10:31,360 --> 00:10:36,839
Speaker 1: you from actually getting out there and voting. So that number,

173
00:10:36,840 --> 00:10:40,240
Speaker 1: I'll ask you what percentage of people that say they're

174
00:10:40,280 --> 00:10:43,520
Speaker 1: going to vote on election day ahead of time don't

175
00:10:43,679 --> 00:10:47,760
Speaker 1: actually end up doing so. The number is up to

176
00:10:47,920 --> 00:10:51,160
Speaker 1: five percent of the vote, Up to five percent of voters.

177
00:10:51,160 --> 00:10:54,480
Speaker 1: Think about that, now, how many super important elections have

178
00:10:54,520 --> 00:10:59,240
Speaker 1: been decided by five points or less. So that's one

179
00:10:59,240 --> 00:11:02,120
Speaker 1: of the things that wanting the vote that is critical here.

180
00:11:03,000 --> 00:11:05,920
Speaker 1: It's critical to get out there and not just to

181
00:11:06,679 --> 00:11:10,560
Speaker 1: vote early, but to actually vote as early as is

182
00:11:10,640 --> 00:11:15,520
Speaker 1: possible in your state because you get that cascading effect

183
00:11:16,120 --> 00:11:18,800
Speaker 1: where folks can work in the trenches to turn out

184
00:11:18,840 --> 00:11:22,520
Speaker 1: those that might be harder to get to vote. My

185
00:11:22,640 --> 00:11:25,880
Speaker 1: point in mentioning the Florida example is what was different

186
00:11:26,040 --> 00:11:27,679
Speaker 1: in Florida than the rest of the country is the

187
00:11:27,720 --> 00:11:31,440
Speaker 1: weirdest feeling being a Florida in two years ago when

188
00:11:32,080 --> 00:11:36,079
Speaker 1: Republicans won a record wave election, big is when Republicans

189
00:11:36,120 --> 00:11:37,480
Speaker 1: have ever had in the state of Florida. You can take

190
00:11:37,480 --> 00:11:39,120
Speaker 1: looks around the rest of the country and go what

191
00:11:39,240 --> 00:11:44,280
Speaker 1: goes on here? It's because of this. Republicans dominated early

192
00:11:44,360 --> 00:11:48,800
Speaker 1: voting in Florida, out voting Democrats and Democrats had historically

193
00:11:48,800 --> 00:11:52,920
Speaker 1: had the early voting advantage in the state. Republicans outvoted

194
00:11:52,960 --> 00:11:57,160
Speaker 1: Democrats by two to one before election day by two

195
00:11:57,160 --> 00:12:03,120
Speaker 1: to one. That's the reason why Florida was different. I mean, yeah,

196
00:12:03,520 --> 00:12:07,160
Speaker 1: DeSantis was a great governor up to that point, leading

197
00:12:07,160 --> 00:12:10,120
Speaker 1: Florida through the pandemic. Everything that all factored in, and

198
00:12:10,160 --> 00:12:12,600
Speaker 1: there's no doubt that even if the advantage wasn't that big,

199
00:12:13,040 --> 00:12:14,720
Speaker 1: you know, Republicans would have had a good day in

200
00:12:14,720 --> 00:12:17,040
Speaker 1: Florida in the midterms a couple of years ago. But

201
00:12:17,120 --> 00:12:20,720
Speaker 1: the reason that it was a historic win was because

202
00:12:20,760 --> 00:12:25,040
Speaker 1: of that early voting advantage. And that's the type of

203
00:12:25,080 --> 00:12:29,080
Speaker 1: thing that needs to happen everywhere because in a state

204
00:12:29,160 --> 00:12:33,080
Speaker 1: like Florida, it made the difference between a win and

205
00:12:33,160 --> 00:12:36,199
Speaker 1: a historically large win with more elected Republicans top to

206
00:12:36,280 --> 00:12:40,320
Speaker 1: bottom than ever in Florida's history. In many places in

207
00:12:40,320 --> 00:12:44,640
Speaker 1: the country, it's outright the difference between winning and losing elections,

208
00:12:45,160 --> 00:12:48,440
Speaker 1: and that absolutely will make the difference in winning and

209
00:12:48,480 --> 00:12:51,280
Speaker 1: losing on election day at the top of the ticket

210
00:12:51,320 --> 00:12:51,720
Speaker 1: as well.

211
00:12:52,360 --> 00:12:52,480
Speaker 3: So.

212
00:12:53,000 --> 00:12:57,440
Speaker 1: Donald Trump's willingness to embrace playing the game the way

213
00:12:57,480 --> 00:13:01,280
Speaker 1: that it's played is the most important political issue that

214
00:13:01,280 --> 00:13:03,840
Speaker 1: he's flipped on since becoming president of the United States,

215
00:13:04,320 --> 00:13:06,199
Speaker 1: and if he is going to be president once again,

216
00:13:06,520 --> 00:13:09,480
Speaker 1: this change in philosophy is going to be a very

217
00:13:09,720 --> 00:13:14,560
Speaker 1: key reason why I'm Brian mudd in for Clay and Buck.

218
00:13:22,520 --> 00:13:24,120
Speaker 3: What do the other night?

219
00:13:25,120 --> 00:13:27,040
Speaker 4: You get all broken down Pelograd?

220
00:13:27,320 --> 00:13:28,959
Speaker 1: Yeah, he just quit.

221
00:13:29,040 --> 00:13:30,000
Speaker 3: You know he's quitting to this?

222
00:13:30,360 --> 00:13:30,800
Speaker 1: Is that right?

223
00:13:30,920 --> 00:13:31,120
Speaker 3: Yeah?

224
00:13:31,160 --> 00:13:31,839
Speaker 4: I got him out of it.

225
00:13:32,880 --> 00:13:34,480
Speaker 1: And that means you have Kamala.

226
00:13:35,080 --> 00:13:36,280
Speaker 3: I think she's going to be better.

227
00:13:37,320 --> 00:13:41,040
Speaker 4: She's so bad, so pathetic, it's somzing.

228
00:13:40,920 --> 00:13:43,640
Speaker 3: It's just your so I just can't imagine.

229
00:13:43,679 --> 00:13:46,200
Speaker 1: But can you imagine that guy we're dealing with Putin

230
00:13:46,280 --> 00:13:47,160
Speaker 1: and the.

231
00:13:47,160 --> 00:13:50,320
Speaker 3: President of China, who's a fierce person, who's a fierce man,

232
00:13:51,080 --> 00:13:55,280
Speaker 3: a very tough guy. They just announced he's he's probably quitted.

233
00:13:58,200 --> 00:14:02,120
Speaker 1: Keep not gonna not that. Yeah, So there you go,

234
00:14:02,760 --> 00:14:07,120
Speaker 1: leaked video from the golf course, the former and perhaps

235
00:14:07,200 --> 00:14:10,520
Speaker 1: future president of the United States and the golf cart

236
00:14:10,960 --> 00:14:13,200
Speaker 1: just you know, kind of riffing about the state of

237
00:14:13,200 --> 00:14:16,160
Speaker 1: the presidential race, saying that, yeah, he did Joe in

238
00:14:16,360 --> 00:14:18,400
Speaker 1: that Joe's going to get out. He thinks it's going

239
00:14:18,440 --> 00:14:22,440
Speaker 1: to be kamalaw and then talking about how bad she is,

240
00:14:23,720 --> 00:14:27,320
Speaker 1: which is such a huge and important part of the story.

241
00:14:27,440 --> 00:14:29,520
Speaker 1: Mentioned this. You know at the onset of the show

242
00:14:29,560 --> 00:14:33,720
Speaker 1: that anybody who thinks that this show doesn't go through

243
00:14:34,520 --> 00:14:40,280
Speaker 1: James Clyburn and Kamala Harris, if Joe really does go,

244
00:14:41,040 --> 00:14:43,840
Speaker 1: they have not been paying close enough attention. There is

245
00:14:44,080 --> 00:14:46,560
Speaker 1: no way that you can just move beyond that and

246
00:14:46,640 --> 00:14:49,280
Speaker 1: make something else happen, like a like a gretch, like

247
00:14:49,280 --> 00:14:52,520
Speaker 1: a Gretchen Whitmer. It's just like gonna work that way.

248
00:14:52,800 --> 00:14:55,520
Speaker 1: The Democrat Party is so divided. One of the things

249
00:14:55,560 --> 00:14:59,040
Speaker 1: we'll get into in the third hour talking about what

250
00:14:59,240 --> 00:15:01,880
Speaker 1: has to happen for a broker convention and also the

251
00:15:01,920 --> 00:15:06,120
Speaker 1: history of broker conventions. You know, the reason that we

252
00:15:06,240 --> 00:15:08,400
Speaker 1: haven't had them and either party in a very long

253
00:15:08,440 --> 00:15:11,560
Speaker 1: time is it tends to be a really bad idea,

254
00:15:11,600 --> 00:15:15,320
Speaker 1: and it also tends to be a losing proposition when

255
00:15:15,360 --> 00:15:17,640
Speaker 1: you go that late in the game and you have

256
00:15:17,760 --> 00:15:22,480
Speaker 1: dissension in the ranks. So yeah, I mean, door number

257
00:15:22,480 --> 00:15:27,720
Speaker 1: two is not necessarily any better than what you see

258
00:15:27,960 --> 00:15:31,160
Speaker 1: in front of your eyes right now, and there probably

259
00:15:31,280 --> 00:15:34,200
Speaker 1: are not any roads that lead past it, unless you know,

260
00:15:34,240 --> 00:15:35,840
Speaker 1: you want to go into chaos theory and think that

261
00:15:35,920 --> 00:15:38,400
Speaker 1: Michelle Obama really is going to be able to be

262
00:15:38,480 --> 00:15:41,000
Speaker 1: yanked into this race of the convention. That is the

263
00:15:41,040 --> 00:15:43,360
Speaker 1: one time you might have a slightly different story. But

264
00:15:44,040 --> 00:15:45,520
Speaker 1: I know, as you take a look, here, we are

265
00:15:45,920 --> 00:15:49,360
Speaker 1: in a full week past the debate, and you've had

266
00:15:49,400 --> 00:15:53,440
Speaker 1: an opportunity for everything to kind of soak in and

267
00:15:53,600 --> 00:15:55,720
Speaker 1: all the pulling. I mean, we've had a myriad of

268
00:15:55,760 --> 00:15:59,800
Speaker 1: polls that have rolled in over the past week. One

269
00:16:00,120 --> 00:16:04,440
Speaker 1: thing to consider at this stage in the game, how

270
00:16:04,680 --> 00:16:08,680
Speaker 1: has Biden's deep freeze on the debate stage played out?

271
00:16:08,680 --> 00:16:11,560
Speaker 1: How has his alleged golf game, which, by the way,

272
00:16:11,640 --> 00:16:14,280
Speaker 1: is just hilarious that the one time Trump did such

273
00:16:14,320 --> 00:16:17,320
Speaker 1: a great job holding it exercising so much restraint during

274
00:16:17,320 --> 00:16:20,000
Speaker 1: that debate, the one time he couldn't was when I

275
00:16:20,120 --> 00:16:22,880
Speaker 1: was talking about his six handicap when I was talking

276
00:16:22,920 --> 00:16:25,760
Speaker 1: about his golf game. So one time, Trump's gonna loss it.

277
00:16:27,000 --> 00:16:31,000
Speaker 1: Trump is now running twelve points better in the Real

278
00:16:31,040 --> 00:16:34,240
Speaker 1: Clear Politics average of polls, twelve points better against Biden

279
00:16:34,280 --> 00:16:37,520
Speaker 1: today than he did four years ago. Today, not one,

280
00:16:38,040 --> 00:16:42,680
Speaker 1: not two, but twelve points better. And that really tells

281
00:16:42,680 --> 00:16:47,000
Speaker 1: the story. Now it's baically telling stories talking about swamping

282
00:16:47,040 --> 00:16:49,400
Speaker 1: the vote and the importance of getting out the vote,

283
00:16:49,400 --> 00:16:51,280
Speaker 1: early voting, and what we're going to do about this.

284
00:16:51,360 --> 00:16:53,880
Speaker 1: Coming up, we are going to talk to Caroline Levitt

285
00:16:53,880 --> 00:16:57,119
Speaker 1: about swamping the vote. Brian Mudd in for Claimed Bras,

286
00:16:57,160 --> 00:17:09,720
Speaker 1: and Buck Sexton on the front line of truth. Republicans

287
00:17:09,800 --> 00:17:13,560
Speaker 1: must win and we must use every appropriate tool available

288
00:17:13,640 --> 00:17:14,679
Speaker 1: to beat the Democrats.

289
00:17:14,720 --> 00:17:17,879
Speaker 3: Whether you vote early, absentee, by mail, or in person,

290
00:17:18,119 --> 00:17:18,800
Speaker 3: we must.

291
00:17:18,600 --> 00:17:22,000
Speaker 1: Swamp the radical Democrats with a massive turnout. Do you

292
00:17:22,040 --> 00:17:23,160
Speaker 1: want to save America?

293
00:17:23,280 --> 00:17:26,800
Speaker 3: Register, get an absentee or mail invallid vote early.

294
00:17:26,960 --> 00:17:29,960
Speaker 1: The way you win is to swamp them. If we

295
00:17:30,200 --> 00:17:33,800
Speaker 1: swamp them, they can't cheat. It just doesn't work out.

296
00:17:33,920 --> 00:17:36,560
Speaker 1: With your vote, we will win a victory the likes

297
00:17:36,600 --> 00:17:41,480
Speaker 1: of which no one has ever seen before. Now there

298
00:17:41,520 --> 00:17:43,760
Speaker 1: you go. Swamping the vote. As I mentioned that the

299
00:17:43,760 --> 00:17:46,200
Speaker 1: onset of this hour, I think it is the single

300
00:17:46,600 --> 00:17:52,000
Speaker 1: most important polsy reversal of the former and perhaps future

301
00:17:52,080 --> 00:17:54,480
Speaker 1: president of the United States actually might be the only

302
00:17:54,520 --> 00:17:57,919
Speaker 1: one he's ever changed on. He's remarkably consistent of what

303
00:17:57,960 --> 00:18:00,840
Speaker 1: he believes in, but that in particular, the swamping the

304
00:18:00,960 --> 00:18:05,440
Speaker 1: vote I think is absolutely the key to winning not

305
00:18:05,520 --> 00:18:08,719
Speaker 1: just the presidency, but winning down ballot to give the

306
00:18:08,760 --> 00:18:11,560
Speaker 1: president the mandate he needs to be able to lead

307
00:18:11,640 --> 00:18:16,439
Speaker 1: on policy congressionally. And joining us to talk about swamping

308
00:18:16,520 --> 00:18:19,560
Speaker 1: the vote somebody who's working hard to get out the vote.

309
00:18:19,720 --> 00:18:23,240
Speaker 1: Trump's campaign National Press Secretary Caroline Levitt, thank you so

310
00:18:23,320 --> 00:18:24,440
Speaker 1: much for joining us.

311
00:18:25,200 --> 00:18:27,320
Speaker 4: Thank you, Brian for having me. Great to be with you,

312
00:18:27,440 --> 00:18:28,760
Speaker 4: and happy late fourth.

313
00:18:28,480 --> 00:18:31,760
Speaker 1: Of July, and right back at you as many of

314
00:18:31,800 --> 00:18:36,640
Speaker 1: us enjoy the extended weekend. And you know, Caroline, you

315
00:18:36,680 --> 00:18:40,840
Speaker 1: take a look at the early voting effort, the vote

316
00:18:40,840 --> 00:18:44,600
Speaker 1: by mail effort, tell us a little bit about how

317
00:18:44,680 --> 00:18:48,360
Speaker 1: your focus is on getting out this message. To let's

318
00:18:48,359 --> 00:18:50,760
Speaker 1: face it, a lot of voters who previously listen to

319
00:18:50,800 --> 00:18:52,320
Speaker 1: the president and say, hey, you know you got a

320
00:18:52,320 --> 00:18:58,800
Speaker 1: way to until election data to vote absolutely well.

321
00:18:58,800 --> 00:19:01,760
Speaker 4: This election cycle, President Trump has been very consistent and

322
00:19:01,800 --> 00:19:04,840
Speaker 4: our campaign has as well that it's the rules of

323
00:19:04,880 --> 00:19:07,760
Speaker 4: the game in your state, our early voting, mail and voting.

324
00:19:08,040 --> 00:19:10,000
Speaker 4: We have to take advantage of those rules. We may

325
00:19:10,000 --> 00:19:11,760
Speaker 4: not like them, but we have to play by them.

326
00:19:11,760 --> 00:19:14,920
Speaker 4: And that means getting out and voting early, voting by

327
00:19:15,000 --> 00:19:18,119
Speaker 4: mail if your state allows, and a FDR and C

328
00:19:18,359 --> 00:19:21,480
Speaker 4: and also again at our campaign, we've made a massive

329
00:19:21,520 --> 00:19:25,000
Speaker 4: push to educate voters in their respective states and counties

330
00:19:25,359 --> 00:19:28,000
Speaker 4: about the voting laws. Whether it's Pennsylvania that has a

331
00:19:28,000 --> 00:19:31,720
Speaker 4: couple of months of early voting, Nevada, other states across

332
00:19:31,800 --> 00:19:35,280
Speaker 4: the country. We're making sure our voters understand where and

333
00:19:35,400 --> 00:19:37,320
Speaker 4: how they can vote. They can go to swamp the

334
00:19:37,400 --> 00:19:40,680
Speaker 4: Vote usa dot com as you just mentioned, to learn

335
00:19:40,720 --> 00:19:44,000
Speaker 4: more and to also join our campaign effort. We have

336
00:19:44,119 --> 00:19:47,160
Speaker 4: hired more than one hundred thousand volunteers. We have paid

337
00:19:47,160 --> 00:19:50,359
Speaker 4: staff on the ground in every single battleground state as well,

338
00:19:50,720 --> 00:19:52,600
Speaker 4: working to not only get out the vote, but like

339
00:19:52,640 --> 00:19:57,560
Speaker 4: I said, educate voters on the respective laws and their communities,

340
00:19:57,560 --> 00:20:00,240
Speaker 4: their counties, and their states. It's very important that you

341
00:20:00,280 --> 00:20:02,400
Speaker 4: do vote early if your state allows, like you don't

342
00:20:02,400 --> 00:20:04,480
Speaker 4: know what could happen to you on election day. There

343
00:20:04,480 --> 00:20:06,960
Speaker 4: could be a storm, your car could break, you could

344
00:20:07,000 --> 00:20:09,719
Speaker 4: get sick, and we want to bank as many ballots

345
00:20:09,760 --> 00:20:13,119
Speaker 4: as we possibly can ahead of election day. It's very

346
00:20:13,160 --> 00:20:14,080
Speaker 4: important that we do so.

347
00:20:14,880 --> 00:20:18,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, Caroline, you nailed it talking about life happening on

348
00:20:19,080 --> 00:20:21,919
Speaker 1: election day. And one of the most eye opening things

349
00:20:21,960 --> 00:20:24,280
Speaker 1: that I saw on this note it was actually an

350
00:20:24,280 --> 00:20:28,160
Speaker 1: analysis that Dick Morris had done a few years back

351
00:20:28,280 --> 00:20:31,840
Speaker 1: where he showed up to five percent of voters who

352
00:20:32,119 --> 00:20:34,520
Speaker 1: say they intend to vote on election day don't end

353
00:20:34,600 --> 00:20:38,119
Speaker 1: up doing it because something ends up happening that distracts it.

354
00:20:38,200 --> 00:20:40,920
Speaker 1: You think about how many races are won by five

355
00:20:40,960 --> 00:20:43,400
Speaker 1: points or less. I mean, we could literally be talking

356
00:20:43,400 --> 00:20:46,119
Speaker 1: about Donald Trump still being president of the United States,

357
00:20:46,320 --> 00:20:48,200
Speaker 1: you know, if maybe we have been swamping the vote

358
00:20:48,200 --> 00:20:48,800
Speaker 1: four years ago.

359
00:20:50,480 --> 00:20:53,440
Speaker 4: Absolutely, it's a huge We need every vote we can get.

360
00:20:54,160 --> 00:20:57,040
Speaker 4: You know, we know these elections are always close, and

361
00:20:57,119 --> 00:20:59,600
Speaker 4: so again that's why we've been working so hard to

362
00:20:59,720 --> 00:21:04,440
Speaker 4: educate voters on again the respective laws within their communities,

363
00:21:04,520 --> 00:21:07,800
Speaker 4: their states and taking advantage of them, and also making

364
00:21:07,800 --> 00:21:11,160
Speaker 4: sure that if ballot harvesting is legal where you're from,

365
00:21:11,280 --> 00:21:14,280
Speaker 4: we're doing it. If pole watching is legal where you're from,

366
00:21:14,359 --> 00:21:16,760
Speaker 4: we're doing that as well, and that takes bodies. We

367
00:21:16,800 --> 00:21:19,639
Speaker 4: need people on the ground. Again, we have paid staff,

368
00:21:19,640 --> 00:21:23,399
Speaker 4: but we also do need volunteers. So I'd encourage the

369
00:21:23,440 --> 00:21:25,480
Speaker 4: audience to go to Donald D. Trump dot com to

370
00:21:25,520 --> 00:21:29,359
Speaker 4: clit to sign up to volunteer, because we can't take

371
00:21:29,440 --> 00:21:31,400
Speaker 4: any vote for granted. We don't want to wake up

372
00:21:31,680 --> 00:21:34,040
Speaker 4: on November the sixth, in which we had done more

373
00:21:34,080 --> 00:21:36,840
Speaker 4: to win this election. So getting out the vote and

374
00:21:36,880 --> 00:21:39,080
Speaker 4: protecting the vote is a huge part of that effort.

375
00:21:40,240 --> 00:21:42,560
Speaker 1: I'm Brian mudd in for Claim Buck. Today we're speaking

376
00:21:42,560 --> 00:21:45,720
Speaker 1: with Caroline Levitt, who is the twenty twenty four Trump

377
00:21:45,720 --> 00:21:49,719
Speaker 1: campaign national Press secretary, and Caroline, I was taking a

378
00:21:49,760 --> 00:21:52,520
Speaker 1: look at Florida in twenty twenty two. It is a

379
00:21:52,560 --> 00:21:55,680
Speaker 1: weird thing. I'm a Floridian and I had the ultimate

380
00:21:55,720 --> 00:21:59,040
Speaker 1: head fay going into the midterm election day because I

381
00:21:59,080 --> 00:22:01,480
Speaker 1: had been used to as Florida goes, the rest of

382
00:22:01,480 --> 00:22:06,880
Speaker 1: the country goes. And I saw the historic election wins

383
00:22:06,880 --> 00:22:09,680
Speaker 1: setting up in Florida that just did not translate other places.

384
00:22:09,960 --> 00:22:11,879
Speaker 1: And when I was really taking a look at what

385
00:22:12,000 --> 00:22:15,160
Speaker 1: the difference was it's what you're talking about. Republicans out

386
00:22:15,359 --> 00:22:18,560
Speaker 1: voted Democrats by two to one in early voting in

387
00:22:18,640 --> 00:22:21,119
Speaker 1: the state of Florida, and that's why you had the

388
00:22:21,320 --> 00:22:24,320
Speaker 1: historic wins in Florida. And you know, largely we just

389
00:22:24,359 --> 00:22:26,159
Speaker 1: did not see that translate. I mean, we could be

390
00:22:26,240 --> 00:22:29,520
Speaker 1: talking about not just wins, but maybe wins where people

391
00:22:29,560 --> 00:22:32,359
Speaker 1: didn't even expect them previously. You talk about ballot at

392
00:22:32,359 --> 00:22:34,640
Speaker 1: harvesting in places like California, for example.

393
00:22:36,160 --> 00:22:38,600
Speaker 4: Yes, that's exactly right. And you know, we also see

394
00:22:38,720 --> 00:22:43,480
Speaker 4: a massive enthusiasm gap with Republicans versus Democrats. Right now,

395
00:22:43,760 --> 00:22:48,280
Speaker 4: the majority of Republican voters, our base is saying that

396
00:22:48,320 --> 00:22:51,879
Speaker 4: they're very enthusiastic to vote for President Trump in this election.

397
00:22:52,000 --> 00:22:54,800
Speaker 4: I think only thirty percent of Democrats are saying that

398
00:22:55,200 --> 00:22:58,600
Speaker 4: now about Joe Biden. So we know we have the enthusiasm.

399
00:22:58,640 --> 00:23:02,320
Speaker 4: President Trump obviously has unified the Republican Party. We look

400
00:23:02,320 --> 00:23:04,840
Speaker 4: forward to the convention in just a couple of weeks

401
00:23:04,880 --> 00:23:09,240
Speaker 4: where he will be formally nominated by the Republican Party

402
00:23:09,320 --> 00:23:12,320
Speaker 4: in Milwaukee is our official nominee. So we know we

403
00:23:12,359 --> 00:23:14,880
Speaker 4: have the enthusiasm on our side. But again, it's about

404
00:23:14,920 --> 00:23:18,440
Speaker 4: translating that enthusiasm into actual ballots, and that's what we're

405
00:23:18,440 --> 00:23:19,200
Speaker 4: focused on.

406
00:23:19,960 --> 00:23:22,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, Caroline, and taking it kind of the next step

407
00:23:22,960 --> 00:23:26,680
Speaker 1: as well. Obviously, this initiative is huge. I think it'll

408
00:23:26,760 --> 00:23:28,280
Speaker 1: end up making the difference. You have a lot of

409
00:23:28,280 --> 00:23:31,560
Speaker 1: people that, of course aren't concerned about election integrity, and

410
00:23:32,040 --> 00:23:33,719
Speaker 1: you know, some folks wondering, hey, we're going to get

411
00:23:33,760 --> 00:23:36,240
Speaker 1: caught flat footed again to where you know, you have

412
00:23:36,320 --> 00:23:40,240
Speaker 1: shenanigans that might pop up in certain places where they're

413
00:23:40,280 --> 00:23:42,840
Speaker 1: to be expected, and then we're trying to react after

414
00:23:42,880 --> 00:23:46,040
Speaker 1: the fact is the campaign is the Republican Party being

415
00:23:46,080 --> 00:23:47,920
Speaker 1: proactive on the front end to make sure that we

416
00:23:48,000 --> 00:23:50,320
Speaker 1: have the right people in the right places to ensure

417
00:23:50,560 --> 00:23:52,200
Speaker 1: election integrity throughout the process.

418
00:23:53,400 --> 00:23:56,879
Speaker 4: Yes, absolutely, we merge with the RNC. As everyone knows,

419
00:23:57,280 --> 00:23:59,560
Speaker 4: we have new leadership at the RNC now and Michael

420
00:23:59,560 --> 00:24:03,159
Speaker 4: Watley Laura Trump, who are fantastic. They're strong believers in

421
00:24:03,200 --> 00:24:06,840
Speaker 4: election integrity. They've both done a lot before taking over

422
00:24:06,880 --> 00:24:09,879
Speaker 4: the RNC to protect the vote and now they're implementing

423
00:24:09,920 --> 00:24:10,920
Speaker 4: those measures at the.

424
00:24:10,920 --> 00:24:11,159
Speaker 3: R and C.

425
00:24:11,320 --> 00:24:13,480
Speaker 4: We're working hand in hand with them at the Trump campaign,

426
00:24:14,160 --> 00:24:17,919
Speaker 4: and part of that strategy is being offensive and again

427
00:24:17,960 --> 00:24:21,640
Speaker 4: making sure we have bodies on the ground on election day,

428
00:24:21,640 --> 00:24:23,880
Speaker 4: but that we're also doing the work ahead of time,

429
00:24:23,920 --> 00:24:27,840
Speaker 4: which includes filing a lot of litigation in states across

430
00:24:27,840 --> 00:24:30,920
Speaker 4: the country. We've been doing that in Wisconsin and Nevada,

431
00:24:31,000 --> 00:24:35,480
Speaker 4: for instance. Nevada allows nail and nil in voting, and unfortunately,

432
00:24:35,600 --> 00:24:39,240
Speaker 4: if the ballot is received after election day, it's still counted.

433
00:24:39,320 --> 00:24:42,680
Speaker 4: We believe that's legal and unconstitutional. We believe in mail

434
00:24:42,680 --> 00:24:44,520
Speaker 4: in voting people should do it, but if the ballot

435
00:24:44,600 --> 00:24:47,520
Speaker 4: does not make its way to the hands of those

436
00:24:47,560 --> 00:24:50,719
Speaker 4: that count it before election day or on election day,

437
00:24:50,760 --> 00:24:53,400
Speaker 4: then it shouldn't be counted. So it's just one example

438
00:24:53,480 --> 00:24:56,639
Speaker 4: of places where we've been filing lawsuits to strength and

439
00:24:56,720 --> 00:24:59,400
Speaker 4: election integrity. We've actually won a number of these lawsuits.

440
00:24:59,440 --> 00:25:01,240
Speaker 4: They don't make it news because the media doesn't like

441
00:25:01,280 --> 00:25:03,800
Speaker 4: to cover them, but for example, in New York City,

442
00:25:03,840 --> 00:25:09,919
Speaker 4: we actually want litigation that will ensure that illegal immigrants

443
00:25:09,960 --> 00:25:12,000
Speaker 4: are not allowed to vote in our elections, which I

444
00:25:12,000 --> 00:25:14,679
Speaker 4: know is a huge concern for so many people as

445
00:25:14,760 --> 00:25:17,720
Speaker 4: Joe Biden allows a mass invasion of our borders from

446
00:25:17,920 --> 00:25:20,720
Speaker 4: illegals all over this world. So we have lawyers that

447
00:25:20,760 --> 00:25:24,640
Speaker 4: are actively looking at the laws in these states, filing

448
00:25:24,680 --> 00:25:27,639
Speaker 4: litigation now ahead of time to try and strengthen our

449
00:25:27,720 --> 00:25:30,600
Speaker 4: laws as best we can before election day, and then

450
00:25:30,640 --> 00:25:32,520
Speaker 4: we will be ready to go, like I said, on

451
00:25:32,600 --> 00:25:36,719
Speaker 4: election day, with boots on the ground, with volunteers who

452
00:25:36,800 --> 00:25:39,439
Speaker 4: are doing their part so we can make sure every vote,

453
00:25:39,480 --> 00:25:41,920
Speaker 4: every vote is honestly and accurately counted.

454
00:25:43,280 --> 00:25:46,080
Speaker 1: All right, So switching gears, just real quick, interested to

455
00:25:46,080 --> 00:25:49,680
Speaker 1: get your thoughts. So you probably know about the Elked

456
00:25:49,760 --> 00:25:52,800
Speaker 1: golf course video from your boss where he was being

457
00:25:52,840 --> 00:25:55,480
Speaker 1: pretty candid about what he thinks is going to happen

458
00:25:55,520 --> 00:25:59,480
Speaker 1: with the president's candidacy and his thoughts about the vice

459
00:25:59,520 --> 00:26:02,119
Speaker 1: president being the person who's going to be in the mix.

460
00:26:02,880 --> 00:26:08,560
Speaker 1: So your thoughts about the former president's thoughts there, and

461
00:26:08,600 --> 00:26:09,920
Speaker 1: then also what do you think is going to happen

462
00:26:09,920 --> 00:26:14,360
Speaker 1: with Stephanopolis in this interview tonight? Well, we look.

463
00:26:14,200 --> 00:26:16,960
Speaker 4: Forward to watching the interview with Stephanopolis. I think it's

464
00:26:17,000 --> 00:26:20,640
Speaker 4: pathetic that the Biden campaign strategy to try and prove

465
00:26:20,720 --> 00:26:24,000
Speaker 4: Joe Biden is cognitively fit, which nobody believes in their

466
00:26:24,080 --> 00:26:27,520
Speaker 4: right mind anymore, but is to go with George Stephanopolis

467
00:26:27,560 --> 00:26:30,760
Speaker 4: in a pre taped interview on ABC. George Stephanopolis is

468
00:26:32,119 --> 00:26:35,640
Speaker 4: a hack. He's a former Democrat strategist in staffer himself.

469
00:26:36,000 --> 00:26:38,560
Speaker 4: He has been a part of the cover up of

470
00:26:38,640 --> 00:26:41,680
Speaker 4: Joe Biden's cognitive decline over the past four years. He

471
00:26:41,720 --> 00:26:44,520
Speaker 4: obviously can't be trusted. Don't see how it goes as

472
00:26:44,560 --> 00:26:47,720
Speaker 4: far as this race. Look, the Democrats are in total disarray.

473
00:26:47,760 --> 00:26:51,840
Speaker 4: The Democrat Party is collapsing. They have created this mess

474
00:26:51,840 --> 00:26:54,840
Speaker 4: because they've been engaged in a cover up of Joe

475
00:26:54,880 --> 00:26:57,920
Speaker 4: Biden's cognitive fitness over the last three and a half years.

476
00:26:58,000 --> 00:27:01,879
Speaker 4: Rather than being honest with the AMA can people about

477
00:27:01,880 --> 00:27:04,399
Speaker 4: the reality of Joe Biden's physical and mental state, they

478
00:27:04,440 --> 00:27:07,600
Speaker 4: have consistently lied and now they find themselves in this

479
00:27:07,680 --> 00:27:10,600
Speaker 4: predicament and it's a no win situation for them. If

480
00:27:10,640 --> 00:27:12,440
Speaker 4: they roll with Joe Biden, we are going to win.

481
00:27:12,480 --> 00:27:14,359
Speaker 4: If they roll with Kamala Harris, we are going to

482
00:27:14,359 --> 00:27:17,280
Speaker 4: win by even more. Tamala Harris is a far left

483
00:27:17,359 --> 00:27:21,959
Speaker 4: radical California liberal who has been complicit and supportive one

484
00:27:22,359 --> 00:27:25,720
Speaker 4: percent of all of Joe Biden's disastrous policies. So it's

485
00:27:25,800 --> 00:27:27,480
Speaker 4: up to them to decide what they do. We know

486
00:27:27,520 --> 00:27:29,200
Speaker 4: what we're going to do. We're going to continue to win,

487
00:27:29,520 --> 00:27:32,240
Speaker 4: and President Trump will continue to bring his winning message

488
00:27:32,280 --> 00:27:36,320
Speaker 4: of making this country strong and prosperous again to every

489
00:27:36,359 --> 00:27:38,520
Speaker 4: corner of this country. We're now going on offense and

490
00:27:38,600 --> 00:27:42,879
Speaker 4: states that are in play, such as New Hampshire, Minnesota, Virginia,

491
00:27:43,320 --> 00:27:47,080
Speaker 4: New Jersey. President Trump leading polling indicating that we're opening

492
00:27:47,119 --> 00:27:49,959
Speaker 4: offices in all of these places, getting staff on the ground,

493
00:27:50,240 --> 00:27:52,680
Speaker 4: and again bringing his winning message to every corner of

494
00:27:52,720 --> 00:27:56,080
Speaker 4: this country. While the Democrats are infighting about who should

495
00:27:56,080 --> 00:27:59,080
Speaker 4: even be their nominee.

496
00:27:58,440 --> 00:28:01,480
Speaker 1: Well, God bless you and your to be expanding family,

497
00:28:01,760 --> 00:28:04,359
Speaker 1: and in the former presidents, well, thank you for everything

498
00:28:04,400 --> 00:28:04,760
Speaker 1: you're doing.

499
00:28:05,720 --> 00:28:06,840
Speaker 4: Thank you Brian so much.

500
00:28:06,840 --> 00:28:10,360
Speaker 1: I have a great day as well. That is Trump's

501
00:28:10,359 --> 00:28:14,119
Speaker 1: campaign and National Press Secretary Caroline Levitt, who really is

502
00:28:14,160 --> 00:28:16,920
Speaker 1: too like any any time now. It's incredible what she's

503
00:28:16,960 --> 00:28:21,560
Speaker 1: been doing as as pregnant as she is, and I

504
00:28:21,600 --> 00:28:23,760
Speaker 1: have no doubt she'll continue to work every bit as

505
00:28:24,080 --> 00:28:27,680
Speaker 1: hard all throughout this cycle. All right, let's go to

506
00:28:27,960 --> 00:28:32,600
Speaker 1: the phones. David in Tampa has very patiently been holding on. David.

507
00:28:32,720 --> 00:28:33,560
Speaker 1: Welcome to the show.

508
00:28:36,440 --> 00:28:38,400
Speaker 3: I'm David, but from Jackson, Michigan.

509
00:28:39,200 --> 00:28:42,120
Speaker 1: Oh you're okay, you're Dave from Jackson, Michigan. Well, welcome

510
00:28:42,160 --> 00:28:44,360
Speaker 1: to the show. Let's on your mind?

511
00:28:44,360 --> 00:28:47,800
Speaker 3: You hm, Well, we want to talk about Gretch a

512
00:28:47,840 --> 00:28:51,440
Speaker 3: little bit and of all this talk over the past week,

513
00:28:51,520 --> 00:28:55,720
Speaker 3: and I've heard her name, you know, screwed, I guess,

514
00:28:55,760 --> 00:28:59,840
Speaker 3: you know, talked about the great Gretch of the North

515
00:29:00,160 --> 00:29:03,640
Speaker 3: or she's not that great. When she showed up at

516
00:29:03,640 --> 00:29:06,120
Speaker 3: a press conference in twenty twenty, I saw her in

517
00:29:06,160 --> 00:29:12,600
Speaker 3: the Michigan state police coat with official announcements, you know,

518
00:29:12,680 --> 00:29:17,760
Speaker 3: on her dictatorial ship type policies. Can't buy seeds, you

519
00:29:17,800 --> 00:29:21,240
Speaker 3: can't go fishing, you can't play golf in a golf car.

520
00:29:24,640 --> 00:29:26,280
Speaker 3: You know, it just rubbed me the wrong way. This

521
00:29:26,320 --> 00:29:29,440
Speaker 3: is the police state. And if anybody out there by

522
00:29:29,480 --> 00:29:32,160
Speaker 3: the way, Bryan, pleasure to talk to you, then.

523
00:29:33,520 --> 00:29:34,440
Speaker 1: Appreciate you being there.

524
00:29:35,880 --> 00:29:39,840
Speaker 3: Anybody's thinking about that type of a route. She's further

525
00:29:39,960 --> 00:29:40,720
Speaker 3: left in Biden.

526
00:29:42,560 --> 00:29:45,000
Speaker 1: You bring up a really good point A couple of

527
00:29:45,000 --> 00:29:45,440
Speaker 1: things here.

528
00:29:45,520 --> 00:29:45,680
Speaker 3: You know.

529
00:29:45,720 --> 00:29:48,280
Speaker 1: The first is if you just take a look at

530
00:29:48,320 --> 00:29:52,120
Speaker 1: the internal polling. So you had Democrats right after the debate,

531
00:29:52,120 --> 00:29:55,720
Speaker 1: when they went into the immediate panic mode, you had

532
00:29:55,760 --> 00:29:59,680
Speaker 1: polls being rung. Okay, all the door number three people.

533
00:30:00,520 --> 00:30:03,360
Speaker 1: If we go beyond hair rece even, how would these

534
00:30:03,360 --> 00:30:05,480
Speaker 1: people pull? So they go out there and they get

535
00:30:05,480 --> 00:30:07,520
Speaker 1: the hair. You know, Gavin Newsom, how's he going to do?

536
00:30:07,600 --> 00:30:10,040
Speaker 1: And how would the gretch do? And so on and

537
00:30:10,080 --> 00:30:13,800
Speaker 1: so forth. Every one of them were showing death that

538
00:30:13,880 --> 00:30:16,880
Speaker 1: sits to Trump so first and foremost, and Democrats internal polling,

539
00:30:17,440 --> 00:30:21,440
Speaker 1: he beats whomever at this point. The second part is

540
00:30:22,320 --> 00:30:24,400
Speaker 1: there actually could be more downside there. A lot of

541
00:30:24,400 --> 00:30:27,080
Speaker 1: people tend to think, oh, Gretchen Whitmer. You know, she's

542
00:30:27,120 --> 00:30:30,120
Speaker 1: governor of Michigan. She won a solidar re election. Therefore

543
00:30:30,200 --> 00:30:32,720
Speaker 1: she could carry Michigan. That might decide the election. I

544
00:30:32,760 --> 00:30:36,560
Speaker 1: mean possible, I suppose. But there might even be more

545
00:30:36,600 --> 00:30:39,720
Speaker 1: downside to her from where she currently sits if people

546
00:30:39,760 --> 00:30:41,360
Speaker 1: get to know her for some of the reasons you

547
00:30:41,480 --> 00:30:43,200
Speaker 1: just talked about. I mean, one of the most easy

548
00:30:43,320 --> 00:30:46,160
Speaker 1: ones is she literally locked down the state of Michigan

549
00:30:46,200 --> 00:30:49,800
Speaker 1: and then fled to Florida during the pandemic. She game

550
00:30:49,840 --> 00:30:53,200
Speaker 1: here to enjoy our freedom while keeping you know, the

551
00:30:53,200 --> 00:30:56,600
Speaker 1: residence of Michigan. I mean, once you get out some

552
00:30:56,680 --> 00:30:58,800
Speaker 1: of what's in there, and I imagine it's it's probably

553
00:30:58,800 --> 00:31:00,480
Speaker 1: not going to be in her book that's about to

554
00:31:00,480 --> 00:31:03,920
Speaker 1: be released. There is potentially more downside there, So I'm

555
00:31:03,960 --> 00:31:08,960
Speaker 1: not sure that idea plays anyway. And there are a

556
00:31:09,040 --> 00:31:11,239
Speaker 1: lot of these different types of ideas that have been

557
00:31:11,280 --> 00:31:14,959
Speaker 1: floated out there. But ultimately, and it really is an

558
00:31:15,000 --> 00:31:17,920
Speaker 1: indication of just how weak because you'll hear, oh my gosh,

559
00:31:17,920 --> 00:31:23,160
Speaker 1: the Democrats bench is really strong. Really, Gavin Newsom is strong.

560
00:31:24,240 --> 00:31:26,239
Speaker 1: Do you really think Gretchen Whimer is as strong as

561
00:31:26,280 --> 00:31:28,840
Speaker 1: you think she is? I mean, certainly the vice president,

562
00:31:28,920 --> 00:31:32,240
Speaker 1: and she is again almost certainly, if it's not gonna

563
00:31:32,240 --> 00:31:35,080
Speaker 1: be Joe, it's almost certainly going to be her. The

564
00:31:35,160 --> 00:31:38,040
Speaker 1: only strong hand they could play is Michelle Obama only

565
00:31:38,080 --> 00:31:40,600
Speaker 1: strong hand they've got. I'm Brian Mudd and for Clay

00:32:07,640 --> 00:32:10,960
Speaker 5: these people instead of privately declaring your stuff. But don't

00:33:00,600 --> 00:33:04,440
Speaker 1: now you have a guy who actually actually did do this,

595
00:33:04,760 --> 00:33:08,520
Speaker 1: a guy who actually is a gator pop in his

596
00:33:08,560 --> 00:33:13,000
Speaker 1: beer can. You know I've often been I'm a defender

597
00:33:13,040 --> 00:33:15,440
Speaker 1: of the free State of Florida. I love my state,

598
00:33:16,240 --> 00:33:18,239
Speaker 1: and there are times for the stereotypes I'm like, come on,

599
00:33:20,320 --> 00:33:22,360
Speaker 1: but then there's so many people that do live up

600

Speaker 1: to the stereotypes. There's just no there's just no getting

601
00:33:26,080 --> 00:33:30,720

606
00:33:42,640 --> 00:33:45,200
Speaker 1: of hours, but we are going to drive this thing

607
