Ryan Gardusky is in the mix. 5 00:00:23,897 --> 00:00:26,577 Speaker 2: He is the author of the National Populist newsletter. A 6 00:00:26,577 --> 00:00:30,897 Speaker 2: guy who follows all the political stuff so closely, so insightful. Also, 7 00:00:31,857 --> 00:00:34,057 Speaker 2: he is an author and I'm gonna make him rine 8 00:00:34,057 --> 00:00:35,857 Speaker 2: another book soon because the last one was very good. 9 00:00:35,897 --> 00:00:37,297 Speaker 3: Mister Gardusky, good to see you. 10 00:00:38,137 --> 00:00:41,617 Speaker 4: Thanks for having me so Biden, that's all. 11 00:00:41,657 --> 00:00:43,377 Speaker 2: And he was talking about with this is post debate. 12 00:00:43,417 --> 00:00:46,297 Speaker 2: Now that debate was a disaster. You got Cliburn coming 13 00:00:46,337 --> 00:00:48,377 Speaker 2: out saying you can't just go around Commo. They won't 14 00:00:48,377 --> 00:00:50,817 Speaker 2: stand for that. Where are you on all this? Like 15 00:00:50,897 --> 00:00:53,857 Speaker 2: how does this play out? What happens with the Democrat 16 00:00:53,897 --> 00:00:54,817 Speaker 2: Party and the ticket? 17 00:00:55,697 --> 00:00:58,337 Speaker 1: I mean, I think that there's no way to avoid 18 00:00:58,737 --> 00:01:01,737 Speaker 1: by them being the nominee because only he can choose 19 00:01:01,777 --> 00:01:04,577 Speaker 1: to leave, you know, you saw like Bill O'Reilly. I mean, 20 00:01:04,657 --> 00:01:07,377 Speaker 1: I don't dislike it all, but I'm saying, oh, there's 21 00:01:07,457 --> 00:01:11,897 Speaker 1: the agreement Obama called him. That didn't take place like that, 22 00:01:12,017 --> 00:01:15,417 Speaker 1: Like that didn't happen. Obama is not even that close 23 00:01:15,417 --> 00:01:18,297 Speaker 1: to Biden anymore, and hasn't been for some time. I 24 00:01:18,337 --> 00:01:22,737 Speaker 1: think that there's no one who can choose for Biden 25 00:01:22,777 --> 00:01:25,377 Speaker 1: to lead besides Biden. And he is very stubborn. He's 26 00:01:25,377 --> 00:01:28,737 Speaker 1: an older man, his family is very supportive of him staying. 27 00:01:30,217 --> 00:01:33,337 Speaker 1: And at this point in the nomination process, given that 28 00:01:33,377 --> 00:01:37,417 Speaker 1: we are four months until early voting starts, I keep 29 00:01:37,457 --> 00:01:41,897 Speaker 1: asking what Democrat besides Kamala would want it. If you 30 00:01:42,017 --> 00:01:45,777 Speaker 1: are a Joshapiro, a Wes Moore, a Gavin Newsome, you 31 00:01:45,817 --> 00:01:49,497 Speaker 1: know whomever, Gretchen Whitmer, and you are a Democrat on 32 00:01:49,537 --> 00:01:52,657 Speaker 1: the rise, yeah, you have a Sam schul substantial chance 33 00:01:52,657 --> 00:01:53,137 Speaker 1: of being this. 34 00:01:53,337 --> 00:01:56,337 Speaker 2: This is taking over. This is taking over the captaincy 35 00:01:56,417 --> 00:01:58,737 Speaker 2: of a ship that is just about to sink. 36 00:01:59,617 --> 00:02:03,897 Speaker 1: Right if it fails, If you lose your nomination, Chancellor 37 00:02:04,097 --> 00:02:06,097 Speaker 1: is over in twenty twenty eight, and you look like 38 00:02:06,097 --> 00:02:10,977 Speaker 1: a backstabber. And is there an MSNBC job waiting for you? 39 00:02:10,977 --> 00:02:14,537 Speaker 1: You know what is there waiting for you? What's the 40 00:02:14,617 --> 00:02:16,977 Speaker 1: use of being Tim Kaine? But you have turn moments, 41 00:02:17,297 --> 00:02:20,817 Speaker 1: so I don't know if that's I don't see any 42 00:02:20,937 --> 00:02:23,897 Speaker 1: really potential chance unless Kamala. Kamala really wants it, and 43 00:02:23,937 --> 00:02:27,377 Speaker 1: she is the vice president, she is the legitimate person 44 00:02:27,497 --> 00:02:29,737 Speaker 1: to take over if he steps down. But I don't 45 00:02:29,777 --> 00:02:32,577 Speaker 1: think he's stepping down. I just have a hunch that 46 00:02:32,697 --> 00:02:35,497 Speaker 1: his family and he really want to win. And also, 47 00:02:35,537 --> 00:02:38,177 Speaker 1: by the way the people around by the consultants on 48 00:02:38,217 --> 00:02:41,217 Speaker 1: the campaign, there is no guarantee that they would get 49 00:02:41,217 --> 00:02:44,897 Speaker 1: a job. Let's say Kama runs and wins or whoever 50 00:02:45,657 --> 00:02:47,737 Speaker 1: or whatever, there's no guarantee of those things. We will 51 00:02:47,737 --> 00:02:50,777 Speaker 1: get a job again in a new Kamala white House 52 00:02:50,817 --> 00:02:52,617 Speaker 1: or a Gretchen Woman white house or a Gavin Newsom 53 00:02:52,657 --> 00:02:57,537 Speaker 1: white house. So that if that's the case, the consultants 54 00:02:57,577 --> 00:03:00,017 Speaker 1: around him are saying no, stay stay, stay, stay, because 55 00:03:00,017 --> 00:03:03,137 Speaker 1: at least they keep their jobs for however long that is. 56 00:03:03,457 --> 00:03:06,817 Speaker 1: If you're an ad purchaser for the campaign, you get 57 00:03:06,937 --> 00:03:10,937 Speaker 1: three to six percent for all advice. You're talking millions 58 00:03:10,937 --> 00:03:14,337 Speaker 1: of dollars on the line for you. There's no reason 59 00:03:14,457 --> 00:03:16,537 Speaker 1: for the people around them to say, oh, you know, 60 00:03:16,697 --> 00:03:18,377 Speaker 1: they don't. I mean, that's no reason. 61 00:03:19,217 --> 00:03:19,617 Speaker 3: Yeah. 62 00:03:19,697 --> 00:03:23,257 Speaker 2: I also wonder what happens to all the money that 63 00:03:23,297 --> 00:03:27,057 Speaker 2: has been raised for Biden and Harris up to this point, 64 00:03:27,137 --> 00:03:29,737 Speaker 2: like for that ticket, if you were to not do Biden. 65 00:03:30,057 --> 00:03:32,537 Speaker 3: But I agree with you totally. By the way, it's. 66 00:03:32,377 --> 00:03:35,377 Speaker 2: Not like there's a good option that is Kamala Harris 67 00:03:35,417 --> 00:03:39,497 Speaker 2: that people should consider as Democrats. The VP is the option. 68 00:03:39,897 --> 00:03:42,697 Speaker 2: I keep pounding this point for everybody. You have a 69 00:03:42,777 --> 00:03:45,737 Speaker 2: vice president so that if you have a president who 70 00:03:45,777 --> 00:03:47,817 Speaker 2: is not a sound mind or has a heart attack 71 00:03:47,937 --> 00:03:51,097 Speaker 2: or whatever, steps into the role. Like the job of 72 00:03:51,217 --> 00:03:54,377 Speaker 2: VP is on deck circle. And all these people talk 73 00:03:54,457 --> 00:03:57,057 Speaker 2: about you know, all these people keep talking about, well, 74 00:03:57,097 --> 00:04:00,017 Speaker 2: we're gonna get rid of Biden somehow how who knows 75 00:04:00,537 --> 00:04:03,697 Speaker 2: and push aside the on deck circle lady with some 76 00:04:03,897 --> 00:04:05,817 Speaker 2: other person who, to your point, is going to want 77 00:04:05,857 --> 00:04:07,297 Speaker 2: the job. I've been saying that too, by the way, 78 00:04:07,377 --> 00:04:10,937 Speaker 2: because Trump is looking like an unstoppable force right now, 79 00:04:12,257 --> 00:04:16,417 Speaker 2: right and also could unify the party right and it 80 00:04:16,457 --> 00:04:18,057 Speaker 2: is clearly better than Biden. 81 00:04:19,137 --> 00:04:21,697 Speaker 1: I'm gonna try to make a sports analogy between the 82 00:04:21,737 --> 00:04:24,177 Speaker 1: two of us. That's a very non we're saying. But 83 00:04:24,217 --> 00:04:26,617 Speaker 1: it's like the picture who comes in at the ninth 84 00:04:26,657 --> 00:04:29,017 Speaker 1: inning of a baseball game and you're saying, no, no, we're 85 00:04:29,057 --> 00:04:31,137 Speaker 1: not gonna put that guy in who's been training it. 86 00:04:31,457 --> 00:04:33,417 Speaker 1: We're gonna find the guy in the fourth road, just 87 00:04:33,417 --> 00:04:35,217 Speaker 1: sitting there eating a hot dog, and he'll be the 88 00:04:35,217 --> 00:04:37,417 Speaker 1: picture of the ninth inning to save the game. 89 00:04:38,097 --> 00:04:39,337 Speaker 4: No, that's not how it works. 90 00:04:39,337 --> 00:04:41,657 Speaker 1: It's the person that's been training for that's gonna be 91 00:04:42,177 --> 00:04:44,377 Speaker 1: the guy that saves the team in the end, and 92 00:04:44,417 --> 00:04:47,577 Speaker 1: that is Kamala Harris. And you know, Cliburn said that 93 00:04:47,617 --> 00:04:52,777 Speaker 1: they would not stand for Kamala stepping down. And now 94 00:04:52,777 --> 00:04:56,257 Speaker 1: there's two Democrats who are sitting in office who have 95 00:04:56,297 --> 00:04:58,897 Speaker 1: set called for Biden to step aside, both from Texas, 96 00:04:58,937 --> 00:05:02,857 Speaker 1: both in non swing districts. I suspect that number will 97 00:05:02,857 --> 00:05:05,257 Speaker 1: be growing. But look how many Republicans call for Trump 98 00:05:05,337 --> 00:05:08,737 Speaker 1: to step down. In twenty sixteen, A ton or Ryan 99 00:05:08,857 --> 00:05:11,417 Speaker 1: John McCain elders a the party people with a lot 100 00:05:11,577 --> 00:05:15,057 Speaker 1: of say uh, Ryan's previous said you're gonna lose if 101 00:05:15,057 --> 00:05:16,977 Speaker 1: you stay on. He was the head of the party, 102 00:05:17,057 --> 00:05:20,137 Speaker 1: and he still refused to step down. So I think 103 00:05:20,257 --> 00:05:23,577 Speaker 1: Flaire's president recent president for a member of a party, 104 00:05:23,577 --> 00:05:25,417 Speaker 1: even if they're in trouble, to say no, I'm staying 105 00:05:25,657 --> 00:05:27,417 Speaker 1: and we'll see how it goes. 106 00:05:27,617 --> 00:05:29,537 Speaker 2: Now, now I want to get to the next question, 107 00:05:29,617 --> 00:05:31,897 Speaker 2: because you and I see this. But we've been very 108 00:05:31,897 --> 00:05:33,937 Speaker 2: consistent on this. I've been having you on the podcast 109 00:05:34,017 --> 00:05:36,417 Speaker 2: like every month to at least remind everyone that there 110 00:05:36,457 --> 00:05:38,497 Speaker 2: have been two people along who have said, it's not 111 00:05:38,537 --> 00:05:40,377 Speaker 2: going to be Michelle Obama. It's not going to be 112 00:05:40,417 --> 00:05:42,497 Speaker 2: Gretchen Wibber. It's not going to be Gavin Dude. Like 113 00:05:42,777 --> 00:05:45,577 Speaker 2: all these theories that all my conservative brothers and sisters 114 00:05:45,617 --> 00:05:49,057 Speaker 2: in the media have just been been pounding for months. 115 00:05:49,097 --> 00:05:52,657 Speaker 2: I'm like, it is crazy talk, crazy talk. 116 00:05:53,657 --> 00:05:57,257 Speaker 3: Yeah, but but o, it's not gonna be Michelle Oba. 117 00:05:57,297 --> 00:05:57,657 Speaker 3: I can't. 118 00:05:58,377 --> 00:06:01,657 Speaker 2: First of all, Michelle Obama. She doesn't want to be 119 00:06:01,697 --> 00:06:05,137 Speaker 2: a completely legitimate political opponent to Donald Trump, meaning that 120 00:06:05,217 --> 00:06:07,697 Speaker 2: he gets to say, you know what I mean, like 121 00:06:08,417 --> 00:06:11,777 Speaker 2: she's she is worth like one hundred million dollars basically 122 00:06:11,857 --> 00:06:13,377 Speaker 2: now she gets takes. 123 00:06:13,137 --> 00:06:17,017 Speaker 1: A dollars an hour selling cookbooks and being a celebrity 124 00:06:17,097 --> 00:06:19,737 Speaker 1: and going to France in the summer. 125 00:06:20,177 --> 00:06:22,617 Speaker 4: Why would you get what she does? She didn't want 126 00:06:22,657 --> 00:06:23,577 Speaker 4: Obama to do it. 127 00:06:23,697 --> 00:06:24,617 Speaker 3: This is what I'm saying. 128 00:06:24,657 --> 00:06:26,857 Speaker 2: This idea that Michelle Obama's going to like swoop in 129 00:06:26,897 --> 00:06:29,617 Speaker 2: to save the Democratic Party, this is crazy she she 130 00:06:29,737 --> 00:06:32,537 Speaker 2: would have to be insane, because first of all, there's 131 00:06:32,577 --> 00:06:35,137 Speaker 2: already pulling the shows. It's not like she enters and 132 00:06:35,137 --> 00:06:37,417 Speaker 2: she's up on Trump ten points. Trump's actually ahead of 133 00:06:37,417 --> 00:06:39,097 Speaker 2: her in the polls that have been run on this one. 134 00:06:39,257 --> 00:06:41,297 Speaker 2: So if it's even a close race, she's gonna have 135 00:06:41,337 --> 00:06:43,417 Speaker 2: to be Now. I know, maybe they could change that, 136 00:06:43,657 --> 00:06:45,897 Speaker 2: but I'm just saying she would have to actually run, 137 00:06:46,097 --> 00:06:49,217 Speaker 2: she'd have to actually debate, and she would be for 138 00:06:49,297 --> 00:06:53,937 Speaker 2: the first time legitimate subject of direct criticism from Trump, who, 139 00:06:54,097 --> 00:06:57,137 Speaker 2: let's just be honest, will really insult people, right, Like, 140 00:06:57,377 --> 00:06:59,097 Speaker 2: he will say whatever he wants. 141 00:06:59,777 --> 00:07:00,977 Speaker 4: Right, And I don't think that. 142 00:07:01,017 --> 00:07:03,217 Speaker 1: And also Obama doesn't want to go from being the 143 00:07:03,257 --> 00:07:06,737 Speaker 1: president of being the first gentleman. Yeah, Like what a 144 00:07:06,897 --> 00:07:09,457 Speaker 1: downgrade that is. I mean, he's not Bill Clinton and 145 00:07:09,657 --> 00:07:13,697 Speaker 1: she's not Hillary Hillary. For as much as people disliked her, 146 00:07:13,737 --> 00:07:16,897 Speaker 1: she had a legitimate political career of her own that 147 00:07:17,057 --> 00:07:19,697 Speaker 1: was as long, if not longer than Bills when you 148 00:07:19,737 --> 00:07:23,417 Speaker 1: really think about it, and she always was gunning for it. 149 00:07:23,497 --> 00:07:26,777 Speaker 1: Michelle has pushed to stay out of the limelight outside 150 00:07:26,777 --> 00:07:30,257 Speaker 1: of the DNC convention and a few fundraisers. Every chance 151 00:07:30,297 --> 00:07:33,617 Speaker 1: she can she's no interest in politics and the obsession. 152 00:07:33,697 --> 00:07:37,417 Speaker 1: It's like it's like Republicans, no five Democrat people in 153 00:07:37,457 --> 00:07:39,857 Speaker 1: the media, like five Democrats total, and they just have 154 00:07:39,897 --> 00:07:42,657 Speaker 1: to recycle those names over and over and over again 155 00:07:42,777 --> 00:07:44,617 Speaker 1: because that's the only names I've ever heard before. 156 00:07:44,937 --> 00:07:46,177 Speaker 2: Yeah, well, I mean I used to hear this, for 157 00:07:46,217 --> 00:07:48,657 Speaker 2: example about Oprah. People would say, well, if Oprah ran, 158 00:07:48,937 --> 00:07:51,417 Speaker 2: like she would win and she would unite the country, 159 00:07:51,417 --> 00:07:54,377 Speaker 2: she'd win by twenty points. Like Oprah doesn't want it, 160 00:07:54,377 --> 00:07:56,177 Speaker 2: Like if she's not gonna run for president, Folks like 161 00:07:56,737 --> 00:07:59,657 Speaker 2: it's not happening. She's a multi billionaire, who does. I 162 00:07:59,697 --> 00:08:02,057 Speaker 2: think it's really hard people to understand. If you're somebody 163 00:08:02,057 --> 00:08:04,297 Speaker 2: who was used to being beloved, worth billions of dollars 164 00:08:04,297 --> 00:08:08,297 Speaker 2: and doing exactly what you want, running any presidential campaign 165 00:08:08,617 --> 00:08:11,337 Speaker 2: does not sound like fun, does not sound like how 166 00:08:11,457 --> 00:08:14,977 Speaker 2: you want to spend your time. So anyway, that's well, 167 00:08:15,177 --> 00:08:16,897 Speaker 2: we'll come back this way. The question I have for you, 168 00:08:16,937 --> 00:08:18,217 Speaker 2: but I have to have a word from our sponsor. 169 00:08:18,297 --> 00:08:19,977 Speaker 2: The question I have for you though, to think about 170 00:08:20,257 --> 00:08:24,817 Speaker 2: Ryan is okay? So ken Biden win, ken Komme will win? 171 00:08:24,977 --> 00:08:26,857 Speaker 2: If so, how we'll get to that in a second. 172 00:08:27,137 --> 00:08:28,777 Speaker 2: But if you had a million dollars in two thousand 173 00:08:28,817 --> 00:08:30,697 Speaker 2: and nine, it'd be worth less than seven hundred thousand 174 00:08:30,697 --> 00:08:33,097 Speaker 2: dollars today. That's the effect that out of control government 175 00:08:33,097 --> 00:08:36,177 Speaker 2: spending has on your hard earned dollars.

All right, Ryan, let's start with Biden not 192 00:09:26,697 --> 00:09:30,217 Speaker 2: will he but realistically can he still win? 193 00:09:31,337 --> 00:09:31,617 Speaker 4: Yeah? 194 00:09:31,697 --> 00:09:33,937 Speaker 1: I mean he probably has maybe a twenty five percent 195 00:09:34,057 --> 00:09:34,617 Speaker 1: chance of winning. 196 00:09:34,657 --> 00:09:35,137 Speaker 4: At this point. 197 00:09:35,257 --> 00:09:38,337 Speaker 1: You have to draw on inside straight from New Nebraska's 198 00:09:38,337 --> 00:09:42,497 Speaker 1: second congressional Michigan, Wisconsin, and Pennsylvania. That's really his and 199 00:09:42,577 --> 00:09:45,937 Speaker 1: he has to keep Virginia, New Hampshire, Minnesota. If he 200 00:09:45,977 --> 00:09:47,857 Speaker 1: can do that, he can win. That is I think 201 00:09:48,017 --> 00:09:52,217 Speaker 1: the easiest, simplest and most likely scenario. If he wins, 202 00:09:52,257 --> 00:09:54,497 Speaker 1: what happens but the new did you see the new 203 00:09:54,537 --> 00:09:57,217 Speaker 1: internal polling that leaked for the Democrats? 204 00:09:57,377 --> 00:09:59,017 Speaker 3: Yeah, of course, yeah from. 205 00:09:58,697 --> 00:10:05,417 Speaker 1: Patwith Yeah, Biden's losing Pennsylvania by seven in their internals. 206 00:10:05,817 --> 00:10:09,697 Speaker 1: That is, he's losing Virginia, he's losing New Hampshire, He's 207 00:10:09,737 --> 00:10:15,377 Speaker 1: losing He's tied to New Mexico. That is wild. I 208 00:10:15,417 --> 00:10:18,377 Speaker 1: know that polling firm, they're not that great in my opinion, 209 00:10:18,377 --> 00:10:21,537 Speaker 1: they're not a wonderful polling firm. But that's the internal 210 00:10:21,577 --> 00:10:23,777 Speaker 1: polls for Democrats. So the five a lot of warm 211 00:10:23,857 --> 00:10:27,257 Speaker 1: fire must be intense if that's what they're doing. And 212 00:10:27,297 --> 00:10:30,097 Speaker 1: it's kind of like, I mean, if you were political 213 00:10:30,137 --> 00:10:33,977 Speaker 1: in two thousand and eight, you remember, like the fall 214 00:10:34,057 --> 00:10:37,177 Speaker 1: of two thousand and eight where McCain pulled out of 215 00:10:37,177 --> 00:10:41,097 Speaker 1: Pennsylvania and McCain pulled McCain's nap kept on narrowing and 216 00:10:41,177 --> 00:10:43,857 Speaker 1: narrowing and narrowing. And I mean it was at the 217 00:10:43,897 --> 00:10:47,097 Speaker 1: beginning of the year where or I said, the spring 218 00:10:47,137 --> 00:10:50,137 Speaker 1: of this year, where you saw Biden pulling out of Florida, 219 00:10:50,297 --> 00:10:54,217 Speaker 1: Texas and North Carolina just to defend his states. And 220 00:10:54,337 --> 00:10:56,697 Speaker 1: you know he's got plenty of money still. But it's 221 00:10:56,897 --> 00:10:59,257 Speaker 1: not out of this question where you see the campaigns 222 00:10:59,257 --> 00:11:03,297 Speaker 1: start pulling out of Georgia, maybe in Nevada, and just 223 00:11:03,377 --> 00:11:06,377 Speaker 1: circling the wagons on a handful of states left. 224 00:11:07,657 --> 00:11:13,017 Speaker 2: And it would would Kamala have to basically approach it 225 00:11:13,097 --> 00:11:14,937 Speaker 2: in terms of the map, the electoral map, in the 226 00:11:14,937 --> 00:11:16,657 Speaker 2: same way, or do you think she opens up some 227 00:11:16,697 --> 00:11:19,057 Speaker 2: different possibilities Georgia something like that. 228 00:11:20,297 --> 00:11:23,337 Speaker 1: She probably opens up the possibilities of voters who think 229 00:11:23,377 --> 00:11:25,297 Speaker 1: that Biden is too old and they may not be 230 00:11:25,377 --> 00:11:27,097 Speaker 1: voting for Trump, but they could be voting for RFK 231 00:11:27,297 --> 00:11:30,337 Speaker 1: or not voting at all. She's not part a likable 232 00:11:30,457 --> 00:11:33,137 Speaker 1: but she does make them that map like a little 233 00:11:33,137 --> 00:11:37,617 Speaker 1: better for Democrats. I could see maybe some lean Democrats 234 00:11:37,657 --> 00:11:39,977 Speaker 1: states that Democrats are starting to come concern about move 235 00:11:40,057 --> 00:11:43,897 Speaker 1: back into the Democratic column. But that's really it. I 236 00:11:43,897 --> 00:11:46,777 Speaker 1: don't think she's going to do radically better in Georgia, 237 00:11:47,097 --> 00:11:52,177 Speaker 1: erradically better in Arizona or North Carolina. I think that 238 00:11:52,217 --> 00:11:54,017 Speaker 1: it's basically the same map both ways. 239 00:11:54,337 --> 00:11:58,297 Speaker 2: You've been a political consultant before, Ryan, if somebody said 240 00:11:58,297 --> 00:12:01,777 Speaker 2: to you, if you get this right, you get ten 241 00:12:01,817 --> 00:12:04,937 Speaker 2: million dollars. Okay, that's like, that's the premise we're working on. 242 00:12:05,137 --> 00:12:07,337 Speaker 2: You get a check for ten million dollars. You have 243 00:12:07,417 --> 00:12:10,897 Speaker 2: to pick who can win, and and then if they win, 244 00:12:11,097 --> 00:12:13,857 Speaker 2: you know, you get your check. Kamala or Biden. Who 245 00:12:13,857 --> 00:12:14,497 Speaker 2: would you pick? 246 00:12:14,617 --> 00:12:14,737 Speaker 4: Right? 247 00:12:14,777 --> 00:12:16,777 Speaker 2: I mean, if if you were if you had it 248 00:12:16,857 --> 00:12:20,977 Speaker 2: all on the line, Kamala or Biden to win at 249 00:12:20,977 --> 00:12:23,217 Speaker 2: this point against Republicans. 250 00:12:24,417 --> 00:12:25,177 Speaker 4: I picked Biden. 251 00:12:25,377 --> 00:12:28,697 Speaker 3: Still, that is really funny. So Clay and I just 252 00:12:28,697 --> 00:12:29,417 Speaker 3: went over this in the road. 253 00:12:31,817 --> 00:12:34,577 Speaker 1: I think exposure, a bigger exposure to Kamlam makes her 254 00:12:34,617 --> 00:12:37,337 Speaker 1: more annoying. She is a woman, and Americans have not 255 00:12:37,417 --> 00:12:40,577 Speaker 1: a great track record of electing women in office. And 256 00:12:40,697 --> 00:12:45,497 Speaker 1: I think she's wildly unappealing to white working class voters. 257 00:12:45,497 --> 00:12:48,297 Speaker 1: In a way that Biden isn't, and he is just 258 00:12:48,497 --> 00:12:51,777 Speaker 1: their off put by the dementia aspect or the cognitive decline. 259 00:12:51,777 --> 00:12:54,937 Speaker 1: But they're not necessarily opposed to him or they hate him. 260 00:12:55,377 --> 00:12:55,777 Speaker 4: They don't. 261 00:12:55,857 --> 00:12:58,857 Speaker 1: They don't dislike him like the way they disliked Hillary 262 00:12:58,937 --> 00:13:00,297 Speaker 1: or the way they would dislike Kamala. 263 00:13:01,297 --> 00:13:02,897 Speaker 2: I want to ask you about the latest out of 264 00:13:02,937 --> 00:13:05,097 Speaker 2: the White House in a second, their newest advisor. But 265 00:13:05,177 --> 00:13:08,897 Speaker 2: first up, a good friend of mine and a former 266 00:13:08,937 --> 00:13:12,977 Speaker 2: business partner did something really interesting. Zim's Porter Standsbury. He's 267 00:13:13,017 --> 00:13:16,697 Speaker 2: a multimillionaire. He's built probably the most successful financial publishing 268 00:13:16,777 --> 00:13:20,177 Speaker 2: country company rather in the country, and he did something 269 00:13:20,177 --> 00:13:22,297 Speaker 2: a lot of people consider crazy. He cut his salary 270 00:13:22,297 --> 00:13:25,057 Speaker 2: to one dollar. Why would he cut his own salary 271 00:13:25,097 --> 00:13:28,497 Speaker 2: to a dollar, Well, he says, he's found a much 272 00:13:28,537 --> 00:13:31,897 Speaker 2: better way to save and get paid. Porter says, there's 273 00:13:31,977 --> 00:13:34,497 Speaker 2: essentially a new form of money in America making some 274 00:13:34,617 --> 00:13:36,977 Speaker 2: people very rich. In fact, many of the richest people 275 00:13:37,017 --> 00:13:39,337 Speaker 2: in America already use it. It's not gold or bitcoin. 276 00:13:39,777 --> 00:13:40,297 Speaker 3: Porter says. 277 00:13:40,337 --> 00:13:42,977 Speaker 2: What's interesting is that while every American is legally entitled 278 00:13:43,017 --> 00:13:45,577 Speaker 2: to use this secret currency if you know much about it, 279 00:13:45,897 --> 00:13:48,137 Speaker 2: but now Porter's hoping to change that. He says, the 280 00:13:48,137 --> 00:13:50,977 Speaker 2: way our government is strong the US dollar, it's critical 281 00:13:50,977 --> 00:13:53,897 Speaker 2: to understand how America's new money works. He believes the 282 00:13:54,017 --> 00:13:55,817 Speaker 2: most critical way to protect and grow well from the 283 00:13:55,897 --> 00:13:58,617 Speaker 2: years to come as a dollar collapses is to use 284 00:13:58,737 --> 00:14:01,857 Speaker 2: this secret currency.

People in the White 293 00:14:30,057 --> 00:14:32,017 Speaker 2: House are saying, what the hell is going on? What 294 00:14:32,217 --> 00:14:35,537 Speaker 2: is going on? Like that's actually crazy, even for Joe Biden. 295 00:14:38,337 --> 00:14:42,297 Speaker 1: I mean, he's a trusted person around him and he 296 00:14:42,377 --> 00:14:46,937 Speaker 1: is allegedly sober now and I don't know, I mean, listen, 297 00:14:47,057 --> 00:14:49,777 Speaker 1: it's we Our last president depended a lot on his 298 00:14:49,897 --> 00:14:52,017 Speaker 1: son in law, his Democrats son in law, to get 299 00:14:52,057 --> 00:14:55,337 Speaker 1: some stuff done. So is it any Is it any 300 00:14:55,337 --> 00:14:58,377 Speaker 1: different than having your former crack addicted son the loss 301 00:14:58,377 --> 00:15:00,137 Speaker 1: that they're and I mean, yeah, it's a little different, but. 302 00:15:00,577 --> 00:15:02,817 Speaker 3: It's a little. It's a little. 303 00:15:02,377 --> 00:15:05,737 Speaker 4: It's our JFK dependent on RFK. 304 00:15:05,977 --> 00:15:08,257 Speaker 1: I mean a lot of people bring the family in 305 00:15:09,297 --> 00:15:12,017 Speaker 1: and I'm sure or at this point Joe Biden probably 306 00:15:12,057 --> 00:15:16,337 Speaker 1: doesn't trust many people left and especially you see your 307 00:15:16,777 --> 00:15:19,417 Speaker 1: your party turning on you. You're bringing you're getting closer and 308 00:15:19,457 --> 00:15:24,337 Speaker 1: closer to your family, and uh yeah, And I. 309 00:15:24,337 --> 00:15:25,977 Speaker 2: Think how are you feel, like, how does the Biden 310 00:15:26,097 --> 00:15:29,417 Speaker 2: the Biden debacle, let's assume it is Biden. Do you 311 00:15:29,457 --> 00:15:33,217 Speaker 2: see that having a major effect on other races down ballot, 312 00:15:33,497 --> 00:15:34,217 Speaker 2: down ballot races. 313 00:15:34,217 --> 00:15:37,497 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, Like if you're if you're the Democrat from 314 00:15:37,537 --> 00:15:41,857 Speaker 1: Illinois seventeen, which is this which was Jerry manderd beyond belief, 315 00:15:44,377 --> 00:15:47,577 Speaker 1: you must be you must be, you know, not sleeping 316 00:15:47,617 --> 00:15:49,257 Speaker 1: at night. I was gonna say something more crude, but 317 00:15:49,497 --> 00:15:51,977 Speaker 1: you can't be sleeping, Like if you're in Georgia's second 318 00:15:51,977 --> 00:15:54,617 Speaker 1: in Sanford's district, which is a black or ole district, 319 00:15:54,697 --> 00:15:57,417 Speaker 1: you must not be sleeping at night. North Carolina's first 320 00:15:57,417 --> 00:16:01,177 Speaker 1: congressional there are a ton of swing Democrat seats. And 321 00:16:01,177 --> 00:16:04,897 Speaker 1: more importantly, is I mean if if this like there's 322 00:16:04,937 --> 00:16:08,657 Speaker 1: two questions. Majorities are made not in red. 323 00:16:08,497 --> 00:16:09,657 Speaker 4: States but in blue states. 324 00:16:09,657 --> 00:16:12,497 Speaker 1: In the House, right, all the people saying move out 325 00:16:12,497 --> 00:16:15,017 Speaker 1: of blue states, move out of blue states. Majorities are 326 00:16:15,057 --> 00:16:18,177 Speaker 1: made for Republicans and from Republicans in blue states. So 327 00:16:18,737 --> 00:16:23,017 Speaker 1: if Trump loses California by twenty four points instead of 328 00:16:23,057 --> 00:16:25,297 Speaker 1: thirty points, right, let's say there's a six point swing 329 00:16:26,097 --> 00:16:29,017 Speaker 1: in California, which would be monumental, biggest wing for Republican 330 00:16:29,057 --> 00:16:32,857 Speaker 1: in decades. Mike Garcia in, I think the twenty seventh 331 00:16:32,897 --> 00:16:36,617 Speaker 1: district is going to be probably fine, Durante and the 332 00:16:37,217 --> 00:16:41,897 Speaker 1: entire Central Central Valley that Republicans will be fine. Orange 333 00:16:41,937 --> 00:16:44,257 Speaker 1: County Republicans will be fine, and maybe there's a chance 334 00:16:44,257 --> 00:16:45,937 Speaker 1: to pick up a seat or two in California. 335 00:16:46,057 --> 00:16:46,617 Speaker 4: New York. 336 00:16:46,857 --> 00:16:49,497 Speaker 1: If Long Island is as almost as red for Trump 337 00:16:49,537 --> 00:16:52,537 Speaker 1: as it was for Zelden, well, then does New York three? 338 00:16:52,617 --> 00:16:54,337 Speaker 1: Is it in play again? It is New York four? 339 00:16:54,457 --> 00:16:54,857 Speaker 4: Okay. 340 00:16:54,937 --> 00:16:58,977 Speaker 1: What happens up state is Maryland's sixth Congressional District, which 341 00:16:59,017 --> 00:17:01,697 Speaker 1: is the panhandle of Maryland and one city is that 342 00:17:01,737 --> 00:17:05,497 Speaker 1: in play. They'll become big questions over lean Democrat seats 343 00:17:05,537 --> 00:17:09,217 Speaker 1: that we're supposed to be, you know, not only protected, 344 00:17:09,297 --> 00:17:13,657 Speaker 1: but in better shape during swing elections New Hampshire's first, 345 00:17:13,817 --> 00:17:17,897 Speaker 1: New Hampshire second, Main second, Connecticut's fifth, Rhode Island second. 346 00:17:17,977 --> 00:17:20,657 Speaker 1: You know, when we're talking about these six to seven 347 00:17:20,697 --> 00:17:24,257 Speaker 1: point swings, when Virginia's you know, going Republican. In the 348 00:17:24,297 --> 00:17:27,497 Speaker 1: internals of the Democratic Party, well, there are two empty 349 00:17:27,777 --> 00:17:31,417 Speaker 1: seats in Virginia, Virginia seventh and I think Virginia's fifth 350 00:17:31,497 --> 00:17:34,297 Speaker 1: as not fifth seventh then something or relative. And the 351 00:17:34,337 --> 00:17:36,457 Speaker 1: second district is supposed to be a spring district. And 352 00:17:36,497 --> 00:17:38,697 Speaker 1: I saw the internals from the Republicans and I think 353 00:17:38,737 --> 00:17:43,337 Speaker 1: the Republicans of nine. So you see this massive movement 354 00:17:43,617 --> 00:17:46,457 Speaker 1: of lean Democrat seats that were Jerry mannered to be 355 00:17:46,577 --> 00:17:49,777 Speaker 1: okay and to be fine in case of a Trump nomination, 356 00:17:51,097 --> 00:17:55,257 Speaker 1: and they should absolutely be worried. Uh, evet Herrera in 357 00:17:55,257 --> 00:17:57,777 Speaker 1: in New Mexico's second district will look like she would 358 00:17:57,777 --> 00:18:01,377 Speaker 1: win her seat. And then in the Senate, Yeah, I 359 00:18:01,417 --> 00:18:04,417 Speaker 1: mean I think if your HOVEDI or whatever his name 360 00:18:04,457 --> 00:18:08,737 Speaker 1: is in Wisconsin, certainly if you're Hubbedy in Wisconsin, you've 361 00:18:08,737 --> 00:18:10,857 Speaker 1: got to be feeling pretty good right now. If you're 362 00:18:11,177 --> 00:18:13,657 Speaker 1: if you're in open Michigan seat, I think it's Mike Rogers, 363 00:18:13,817 --> 00:18:15,217 Speaker 1: you have to be sitting there and saying it's very 364 00:18:15,217 --> 00:18:19,817 Speaker 1: good right now. Most the reason Republicans are underperforming Trump 365 00:18:19,937 --> 00:18:21,057 Speaker 1: is because of two reasons. 366 00:18:21,097 --> 00:18:22,657 Speaker 4: One, there may be an. 367 00:18:22,617 --> 00:18:26,257 Speaker 1: A session like a rise of support among black and 368 00:18:26,337 --> 00:18:30,297 Speaker 1: Hispanic and Asian voters, and they could be like white 369 00:18:30,377 --> 00:18:32,977 Speaker 1: voters from forty years ago where they loved Reagan, they 370 00:18:33,017 --> 00:18:35,937 Speaker 1: loved Nixon, but they still vote a Democrat down ballot. 371 00:18:36,017 --> 00:18:38,417 Speaker 1: That could possibly be happening. Another thing could be that 372 00:18:38,497 --> 00:18:41,017 Speaker 1: they just have lower name ID, so they just don't 373 00:18:41,017 --> 00:18:43,857 Speaker 1: know who these people are yet, and maybe Trump will 374 00:18:43,897 --> 00:18:46,217 Speaker 1: bring them along the way. There's only two Senate candidates 375 00:18:46,217 --> 00:18:48,817 Speaker 1: with almost universal name ID who are Republicans we're not 376 00:18:48,857 --> 00:18:51,417 Speaker 1: in the Senate, and that's Larry Hogan and Carry Lake. 377 00:18:51,737 --> 00:18:55,657 Speaker 1: So we'll see, and both have obstacles for different reasons 378 00:18:55,697 --> 00:18:57,817 Speaker 1: in winning either one of their states, So we'll see 379 00:18:57,817 --> 00:18:58,417 Speaker 1: what goes. 380 00:18:58,217 --> 00:18:58,737 Speaker 4: On with them. 381 00:18:59,697 --> 00:19:01,057 Speaker 3: You think Carry Lake's gonna win. 382 00:19:02,737 --> 00:19:05,217 Speaker 1: If the Democrat internal which has Trump up by ten 383 00:19:05,377 --> 00:19:10,217 Speaker 1: in Arizona, maybe. I mean I thought Arizona was be 384 00:19:10,257 --> 00:19:13,897 Speaker 1: a four or five point state for Trump, and in 385 00:19:13,897 --> 00:19:15,817 Speaker 1: that case, Trump would win and Carry Lake would lose. 386 00:19:16,177 --> 00:19:20,217 Speaker 1: If Trump wins Arizona by ten, he might be able 387 00:19:20,257 --> 00:19:22,017 Speaker 1: to drag her along the line. As of now, I 388 00:19:22,057 --> 00:19:24,617 Speaker 1: still think Carry likes I've never seen any indication sing 389 00:19:24,657 --> 00:19:29,177 Speaker 1: Carry's gonna win. But if if Trump's able to sit 390 00:19:29,257 --> 00:19:31,897 Speaker 1: there and drag ten points in Arizona, then yeah, then 391 00:19:31,977 --> 00:19:34,577 Speaker 1: Carrie Lake could possibly win. But still I would still 392 00:19:34,737 --> 00:19:36,657 Speaker 1: venture on the side of no. I would be more 393 00:19:36,737 --> 00:19:40,217 Speaker 1: concerned if you're the Democrat in Nevada, the Democrat in Michigan, 394 00:19:40,497 --> 00:19:44,417 Speaker 1: the Democrat in Pennsylvania even and I think that's a 395 00:19:44,497 --> 00:19:47,857 Speaker 1: long shot Pennsylvania. But those states then open up to 396 00:19:47,937 --> 00:19:48,857 Speaker 1: a real opportunity. 397 00:19:49,457 --> 00:19:52,697 Speaker 2: Well, mister Gradoski, thank you. We'll have you back on 398 00:19:52,897 --> 00:19:55,057 Speaker 2: after the RNC to kind of revisit all of this 399 00:19:55,777 --> 00:19:58,897 Speaker 2: and NY time go subscribe to the National Populace newsletter 400 00:19:58,977 --> 00:20:00,337 Speaker 2: on substack, which is Ryan's Ryan. 401 00:20:00,337 --> 00:20:01,017 Speaker 3: Thank you so much.
