1 00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:00,440 Speaker 1: All right. 2 00:00:00,560 --> 00:00:03,680 Speaker 2: Third hour Clayan Buck Live from the RNC kicks off 3 00:00:03,760 --> 00:00:06,279 Speaker 2: right now. Thanks so much for being with us, everybody, 4 00:00:06,360 --> 00:00:08,520 Speaker 2: or for joining us in progress if you are we 5 00:00:08,680 --> 00:00:13,640 Speaker 2: have as promised Speaker of the House Mike Johnson, mister 6 00:00:13,800 --> 00:00:16,159 Speaker 2: Speaker honored that you'd make the time to tat with 7 00:00:16,239 --> 00:00:17,720 Speaker 2: us here at the RNC. 8 00:00:18,000 --> 00:00:19,160 Speaker 3: I want to dive right into it. 9 00:00:20,400 --> 00:00:22,759 Speaker 2: We all know that there's a lot of pressure on 10 00:00:22,840 --> 00:00:24,920 Speaker 2: Biden right now, and we'll get into some more of 11 00:00:24,960 --> 00:00:27,240 Speaker 2: that to step down from his own party, from his 12 00:00:27,280 --> 00:00:30,880 Speaker 2: own side, no matter what it seems. Right now the 13 00:00:30,960 --> 00:00:34,839 Speaker 2: place where Democrats are gonna perhaps we could call it 14 00:00:34,840 --> 00:00:37,080 Speaker 2: their Imagine no line, and hopefully it will be about 15 00:00:37,120 --> 00:00:40,280 Speaker 2: just as effective. They think that they'll be able to 16 00:00:40,360 --> 00:00:45,839 Speaker 2: stop the Unified government by getting a House majority, and 17 00:00:45,880 --> 00:00:46,839 Speaker 2: they're gonna throw. 18 00:00:46,720 --> 00:00:47,839 Speaker 3: Everything they have into it. 19 00:00:48,200 --> 00:00:51,760 Speaker 2: Are you seeing that shift of focus and funds already? 20 00:00:52,080 --> 00:00:54,319 Speaker 2: And how are you going to blunt it? 21 00:00:54,920 --> 00:00:56,600 Speaker 4: We are beginning to see it already. Great to be 22 00:00:56,640 --> 00:00:57,960 Speaker 4: with you guys, By the way, thank you for being 23 00:00:58,000 --> 00:00:59,880 Speaker 4: with us. What an epic week. We're going a great time. 24 00:01:00,840 --> 00:01:02,960 Speaker 4: That is not going to dampen our spirits or change 25 00:01:02,960 --> 00:01:05,640 Speaker 4: our strategy at all. We've been working NonStop, guys. I've 26 00:01:05,640 --> 00:01:07,800 Speaker 4: done events in one hundred and forty four cities now 27 00:01:07,800 --> 00:01:09,880 Speaker 4: in thirty one states in the last seven months. We're 28 00:01:09,920 --> 00:01:12,520 Speaker 4: going everywhere where we have our incumbents, even in the 29 00:01:12,520 --> 00:01:14,679 Speaker 4: tight reelex and where we have the people that we've 30 00:01:14,880 --> 00:01:17,480 Speaker 4: recruited to challenge these seats and flip them from blue 31 00:01:17,480 --> 00:01:19,840 Speaker 4: to red. All the polling is saying we're in good 32 00:01:19,840 --> 00:01:21,600 Speaker 4: shape to do that. We don't take anything for granted. 33 00:01:21,680 --> 00:01:24,000 Speaker 4: We never will. We run like we're ten points behind. 34 00:01:24,040 --> 00:01:27,600 Speaker 4: We set fundraising records for the second quarter because everyone's motivated. 35 00:01:27,760 --> 00:01:30,200 Speaker 4: But this does change the game a little bit because 36 00:01:30,280 --> 00:01:33,240 Speaker 4: now the big Hollywood mogul types and the big money 37 00:01:33,280 --> 00:01:35,759 Speaker 4: is turning from the presidential resigning themselves to the fact 38 00:01:35,800 --> 00:01:38,080 Speaker 4: that Trump gets re elected and now they're going to 39 00:01:38,080 --> 00:01:39,440 Speaker 4: try to build a file of orl in the House. 40 00:01:39,480 --> 00:01:41,880 Speaker 4: As you said, so the challenge is greater, but the 41 00:01:41,880 --> 00:01:43,039 Speaker 4: game plans exactly the saying. 42 00:01:43,080 --> 00:01:44,760 Speaker 5: We know there's been a lot of gerrymandering in the 43 00:01:44,800 --> 00:01:48,480 Speaker 5: House over the years, both directions, different states. How many 44 00:01:48,520 --> 00:01:52,280 Speaker 5: when you look at the overall map, how many addressable 45 00:01:52,440 --> 00:01:54,960 Speaker 5: or winnable seats do you see on the board? That 46 00:01:55,040 --> 00:01:58,000 Speaker 5: you even compete in either side. How many are out there? 47 00:01:58,440 --> 00:02:02,280 Speaker 4: So the number has dwindled because of jerrymandering, redistricting. You know, 48 00:02:02,560 --> 00:02:04,800 Speaker 4: we're gone. Are the days where we'd have a forty 49 00:02:04,880 --> 00:02:07,120 Speaker 4: or forty five seat majority? Is Its not possible anymore? 50 00:02:07,680 --> 00:02:10,120 Speaker 4: The Cook Report is one pretty good arbiter of this. 51 00:02:10,320 --> 00:02:12,959 Speaker 4: We all rate the districts and R plus twelve is 52 00:02:13,000 --> 00:02:14,600 Speaker 4: my district. That means it's a Cook rating. 53 00:02:14,680 --> 00:02:14,840 Speaker 3: Right. 54 00:02:15,200 --> 00:02:17,000 Speaker 4: They looked at the race this fall and they said 55 00:02:17,000 --> 00:02:19,240 Speaker 4: there are two hundred and ten safe Republican seats, two 56 00:02:19,360 --> 00:02:22,880 Speaker 4: hundred and third three safe Democrat seats, twenty two seats 57 00:02:22,880 --> 00:02:25,560 Speaker 4: in the middle They assessed at eleven lean right and 58 00:02:25,639 --> 00:02:26,120 Speaker 4: eleven lean. 59 00:02:26,280 --> 00:02:29,120 Speaker 5: How wild is that that only twenty two seats out 60 00:02:29,160 --> 00:02:31,440 Speaker 5: there are really in play at this point in time. 61 00:02:31,720 --> 00:02:35,080 Speaker 4: It's a remarkable thing about how politics have developed and 62 00:02:35,120 --> 00:02:37,400 Speaker 4: how the districts have been redrawn and the legislatures are 63 00:02:37,400 --> 00:02:39,800 Speaker 4: gotten so involved. But that's the reality on the ground. 64 00:02:39,880 --> 00:02:42,320 Speaker 4: So we're fighting tooth and nail for every engine in 65 00:02:42,320 --> 00:02:45,400 Speaker 4: the field, literally, and we believe that we can achieve 66 00:02:45,520 --> 00:02:47,960 Speaker 4: a ten or twelve or fifteen seat majority, but it 67 00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:49,520 Speaker 4: takes a lot of effort, A lot of work to 68 00:02:49,560 --> 00:02:53,880 Speaker 4: do it. We're playing in close to forty races. We 69 00:02:53,960 --> 00:02:56,120 Speaker 4: have incumbents who are in tight reelects, but they should 70 00:02:56,120 --> 00:02:57,840 Speaker 4: be fine. And then we have these other seats that 71 00:02:57,880 --> 00:02:59,320 Speaker 4: we think we can flip, and I think this is 72 00:02:59,360 --> 00:02:59,720 Speaker 4: the year for. 73 00:02:59,760 --> 00:03:02,560 Speaker 2: Us to mister speaker, you know, one of the big 74 00:03:02,639 --> 00:03:06,640 Speaker 2: areas of concern for our audience and for everybody I 75 00:03:06,639 --> 00:03:09,480 Speaker 2: think who is paying enough attention to it is the 76 00:03:09,600 --> 00:03:12,960 Speaker 2: national debt. Right we're at about thirty four trillion and change. 77 00:03:12,960 --> 00:03:14,560 Speaker 2: Maybe it's already hit thirty five trillion. 78 00:03:14,600 --> 00:03:16,519 Speaker 3: I got to keep it. It's very close. It's very close, 79 00:03:16,600 --> 00:03:19,239 Speaker 3: thirty five trillion. That's a lot of money. 80 00:03:19,600 --> 00:03:22,680 Speaker 2: We all know that government is spending not just a 81 00:03:22,720 --> 00:03:26,720 Speaker 2: lot of money, but too much money. I know that 82 00:03:26,760 --> 00:03:30,000 Speaker 2: we're always limited to the possible in politics, but if 83 00:03:30,040 --> 00:03:33,799 Speaker 2: you have a House majority, certainly spend. With a Senate 84 00:03:33,840 --> 00:03:37,760 Speaker 2: and Trump presidency, spending is a place where you can 85 00:03:37,800 --> 00:03:41,600 Speaker 2: really get things done. Where are the priorities for either 86 00:03:41,680 --> 00:03:44,560 Speaker 2: additional spending? And also where would you look or how 87 00:03:44,560 --> 00:03:47,320 Speaker 2: would you look to begin to rein in what is 88 00:03:47,400 --> 00:03:48,280 Speaker 2: clearly an out. 89 00:03:48,160 --> 00:03:49,760 Speaker 3: Of control debt. I don't think anybody can. 90 00:03:49,680 --> 00:03:52,720 Speaker 4: Disagree with that it's not a sustainable trajectory, and that 91 00:03:53,000 --> 00:03:55,520 Speaker 4: means the greatest national security threat is not China, Rush 92 00:03:55,520 --> 00:03:57,160 Speaker 4: air run or North three, it's the debt. I mean, 93 00:03:57,160 --> 00:03:59,040 Speaker 4: that's what the Pentagon will tell you that we all 94 00:03:59,120 --> 00:04:02,320 Speaker 4: know intuitively we have to fix this. The way to 95 00:04:02,360 --> 00:04:05,320 Speaker 4: do it is to use that word you just said, priorities. 96 00:04:05,640 --> 00:04:08,360 Speaker 4: We have to prioritize national defense right now because we're 97 00:04:08,360 --> 00:04:11,440 Speaker 4: in the most dangerous arisonce World War two domestically and 98 00:04:11,440 --> 00:04:14,240 Speaker 4: of course internationally because the weakness that Biden has put 99 00:04:14,240 --> 00:04:15,160 Speaker 4: on the world stage. 100 00:04:15,360 --> 00:04:16,680 Speaker 3: So you have to do that. 101 00:04:16,720 --> 00:04:18,800 Speaker 4: First, you got to secure the border, You got to 102 00:04:18,839 --> 00:04:20,839 Speaker 4: take care of your country. But then also you look 103 00:04:20,880 --> 00:04:24,880 Speaker 4: at a combination of spending cuts tax cuts. At the 104 00:04:24,880 --> 00:04:27,200 Speaker 4: same time, you have to juice the economy. The way 105 00:04:27,200 --> 00:04:30,159 Speaker 4: you do that is you reduce the regulatory burden and 106 00:04:30,200 --> 00:04:32,920 Speaker 4: you reduce the tax burden on the people who are 107 00:04:32,960 --> 00:04:35,880 Speaker 4: the job creators, the innovators, and the risk takers those 108 00:04:35,880 --> 00:04:37,280 Speaker 4: in the economy to get the economy going. 109 00:04:37,320 --> 00:04:38,000 Speaker 3: We did this already. 110 00:04:38,040 --> 00:04:40,000 Speaker 4: Remember at the first two years of the Trump administration, 111 00:04:40,320 --> 00:04:42,040 Speaker 4: we had the greatest economy in the history of the world, 112 00:04:42,080 --> 00:04:44,880 Speaker 4: not just the US, because we implemented, those policies will 113 00:04:44,880 --> 00:04:45,360 Speaker 4: get right. 114 00:04:45,200 --> 00:04:45,560 Speaker 3: Back to it. 115 00:04:45,600 --> 00:04:48,320 Speaker 4: So you have to have a pro growth agenda and 116 00:04:48,360 --> 00:04:50,520 Speaker 4: you have to cut spending at the same time. It's 117 00:04:50,600 --> 00:04:53,360 Speaker 4: not only possible, it's necessary. Now we have to do it. 118 00:04:53,480 --> 00:04:55,560 Speaker 5: By the grace of God, President Trump is okay, and 119 00:04:55,600 --> 00:04:58,440 Speaker 5: we're going to be able to watch him speak tonights Saturday. 120 00:04:58,839 --> 00:05:02,200 Speaker 5: I think everyone out there heart stopped watching what occurred. 121 00:05:02,960 --> 00:05:03,520 Speaker 3: Where were you? 122 00:05:03,600 --> 00:05:06,800 Speaker 5: I'm curious on your experience that day because you're just 123 00:05:06,839 --> 00:05:09,920 Speaker 5: a few steps away from being president right now with 124 00:05:10,000 --> 00:05:13,080 Speaker 5: what's going on with Biden and Kamalin the succession, but also, 125 00:05:14,080 --> 00:05:16,719 Speaker 5: how in the world does the Secret Service head still 126 00:05:16,760 --> 00:05:19,279 Speaker 5: have her job? Can you believe, as more of these 127 00:05:19,279 --> 00:05:21,520 Speaker 5: details have come out that she is still employed. 128 00:05:21,720 --> 00:05:24,960 Speaker 4: Let me address the second part first, it's absolutely outrageous. 129 00:05:24,960 --> 00:05:27,680 Speaker 4: I called for the resignation of the Secret Service director 130 00:05:27,760 --> 00:05:30,719 Speaker 4: Cheetle yesterday, and today I called the White House and 131 00:05:30,760 --> 00:05:33,360 Speaker 4: I told President Biden through his people, they won't let 132 00:05:33,360 --> 00:05:35,360 Speaker 4: me talk to him today. I can't can't imagine why 133 00:05:36,440 --> 00:05:38,880 Speaker 4: that he should fire her. He needs to the buck stops. Ultimately, 134 00:05:39,000 --> 00:05:39,679 Speaker 4: he's the response. 135 00:05:39,720 --> 00:05:41,320 Speaker 5: By the way, when you call the White House and 136 00:05:41,360 --> 00:05:43,480 Speaker 5: you say she's clearly not going to do the right 137 00:05:43,520 --> 00:05:46,360 Speaker 5: thing and resign. Biden won't fire anybody. But you call 138 00:05:46,400 --> 00:05:48,760 Speaker 5: the White House and you say she has to be fired. 139 00:05:48,800 --> 00:05:50,040 Speaker 5: You're not talking to Biden himself. 140 00:05:50,040 --> 00:05:50,719 Speaker 3: What do they say. 141 00:05:50,960 --> 00:05:52,880 Speaker 4: I say, you need to communicate this to the President 142 00:05:53,040 --> 00:05:54,800 Speaker 4: on behalf, the Speaker of the House. I call you 143 00:05:54,839 --> 00:05:57,039 Speaker 4: into good faith, I always do. I think this would 144 00:05:57,080 --> 00:06:00,040 Speaker 4: be good for him politically. I agree right now. 145 00:06:00,680 --> 00:06:03,440 Speaker 2: Whift on that, and he whiffed on a real message 146 00:06:03,440 --> 00:06:06,359 Speaker 2: of unity and Americanism right after the shooting. 147 00:06:06,560 --> 00:06:09,480 Speaker 3: I don't know if this was an assassination. Believe it's outrageous. 148 00:06:09,560 --> 00:06:12,640 Speaker 5: You probably would have the same perspective if a bullet 149 00:06:12,640 --> 00:06:13,720 Speaker 5: had buzzed Biden's hit. 150 00:06:13,760 --> 00:06:15,839 Speaker 3: It's a failure of the Secret Service, no matter who 151 00:06:15,880 --> 00:06:18,960 Speaker 3: the person, non partisan issue there must be. And to 152 00:06:19,040 --> 00:06:21,120 Speaker 3: that point, I've set up a task force. It will 153 00:06:21,160 --> 00:06:22,039 Speaker 3: be bipartisan. 154 00:06:22,080 --> 00:06:24,320 Speaker 4: We're going to strike with precision and get this done 155 00:06:24,320 --> 00:06:27,040 Speaker 4: and get the facts of the American people. We have to, 156 00:06:27,120 --> 00:06:29,200 Speaker 4: because conspiracy theories are thirsting right now. 157 00:06:29,120 --> 00:06:29,520 Speaker 3: No doubt. 158 00:06:29,520 --> 00:06:31,960 Speaker 2: Now, I know you perhaps don't want to tip your 159 00:06:32,000 --> 00:06:34,800 Speaker 2: hand to the other side here, but I am curious. 160 00:06:34,400 --> 00:06:37,600 Speaker 3: To the degree you are comfortable willing to speak to it. 161 00:06:38,720 --> 00:06:43,960 Speaker 2: What's better for the Democrats in these tight house races, 162 00:06:44,320 --> 00:06:45,640 Speaker 2: Biden stays. 163 00:06:46,120 --> 00:06:48,520 Speaker 3: Biden goes, I. 164 00:06:48,440 --> 00:06:50,559 Speaker 4: Think at this point they're looking at the same odds 165 00:06:50,600 --> 00:06:53,040 Speaker 4: you are at Vegas. I think they're ready for him 166 00:06:53,040 --> 00:06:55,320 Speaker 4: to go because it has a terrible down ballid effect. 167 00:06:56,000 --> 00:06:58,040 Speaker 4: There won't be as a big of a turnout on 168 00:06:58,080 --> 00:07:02,640 Speaker 4: their side. They're terrified about that, and I think that 169 00:07:02,680 --> 00:07:05,080 Speaker 4: they're just they don't know what to do. I mean, guys, 170 00:07:05,080 --> 00:07:08,200 Speaker 4: it was such an interesting phenomenon on Capitol Hill last week. 171 00:07:08,440 --> 00:07:11,080 Speaker 4: I had two whole days unimpeded where I could walk 172 00:07:11,120 --> 00:07:14,640 Speaker 4: through the hallways without being accosted by media sticking microphones 173 00:07:14,640 --> 00:07:15,440 Speaker 4: and cameras in my face. 174 00:07:15,720 --> 00:07:16,280 Speaker 3: Where are they? 175 00:07:16,280 --> 00:07:18,360 Speaker 4: Oh, they're chasing the Democrats for a chance. They had 176 00:07:18,360 --> 00:07:20,960 Speaker 4: to introduce themselves to our Democrat colleagues. They never asked 177 00:07:20,960 --> 00:07:23,040 Speaker 4: them tough questions. I called HACKEM Jeffrey's and my friend, 178 00:07:23,120 --> 00:07:25,400 Speaker 4: a Democrat leader. I said, how's it feel, bro? You know, 179 00:07:25,720 --> 00:07:27,600 Speaker 4: so I got a little reprieve. We kind of like this, 180 00:07:27,680 --> 00:07:30,800 Speaker 4: but look, it's a serious problem, and that's why they're 181 00:07:30,840 --> 00:07:32,800 Speaker 4: in such a panic. They do not know they don't 182 00:07:32,840 --> 00:07:35,880 Speaker 4: have a viable plan B. They run Kamala and whomever 183 00:07:35,960 --> 00:07:38,600 Speaker 4: she puts on that ticket. We like those odds too. 184 00:07:39,400 --> 00:07:42,000 Speaker 5: So I asked the question, I'm glad that you have 185 00:07:42,040 --> 00:07:44,920 Speaker 5: called the White House and said the Secret Service director 186 00:07:45,000 --> 00:07:47,480 Speaker 5: has to be gone. Where were you Saturday and what 187 00:07:47,680 --> 00:07:49,920 Speaker 5: was your reaction to what you have seen come out? 188 00:07:49,960 --> 00:07:52,400 Speaker 4: Since I had a rare Saturday. I was actually home 189 00:07:52,400 --> 00:07:54,400 Speaker 4: in Louisiana. We were preparing for this because I was 190 00:07:54,480 --> 00:07:56,320 Speaker 4: cheering the convention. I'm going through the notes we have 191 00:07:56,400 --> 00:07:58,120 Speaker 4: that on in the background, and I've been to some 192 00:07:58,160 --> 00:07:59,600 Speaker 4: of these rallies, as y'all have. You know, I know 193 00:07:59,680 --> 00:08:02,120 Speaker 4: the speed each But one of my kids gasps is, 194 00:08:02,160 --> 00:08:04,520 Speaker 4: said dad, and we looked up and it happened, and 195 00:08:04,520 --> 00:08:06,559 Speaker 4: we stood there frozen in the living room for twenty minutes. 196 00:08:06,600 --> 00:08:07,720 Speaker 3: As soon as we realized that. 197 00:08:07,680 --> 00:08:11,040 Speaker 4: He was okay, I immediately thought of the story of 198 00:08:11,040 --> 00:08:13,720 Speaker 4: George Washington, the bulletproof President. We used to call it, 199 00:08:13,720 --> 00:08:16,000 Speaker 4: Carson and told me to talk about it was I 200 00:08:16,080 --> 00:08:18,920 Speaker 4: was talking with him about, Yeah, it's remarkable, and the 201 00:08:19,000 --> 00:08:20,920 Speaker 4: thing is, and I told Doud Carson this. You know, 202 00:08:21,000 --> 00:08:22,680 Speaker 4: if you go back and look at the story, it 203 00:08:22,760 --> 00:08:25,680 Speaker 4: happened less than fifty miles from where Donald Trump was. 204 00:08:26,280 --> 00:08:30,040 Speaker 4: His assassination was attempted also in July, also in Pennsylvania. 205 00:08:30,080 --> 00:08:32,960 Speaker 4: I mean, you could say that's coincidence. I say it's providence. 206 00:08:33,000 --> 00:08:35,160 Speaker 4: And I think I think President Trump is thinking about 207 00:08:35,160 --> 00:08:37,440 Speaker 4: it the same way. His head and his heart are 208 00:08:37,480 --> 00:08:40,320 Speaker 4: in exactly where we would want them to be right now, 209 00:08:40,320 --> 00:08:42,120 Speaker 4: and I think the speech to night's going to be epic. 210 00:08:42,640 --> 00:08:44,800 Speaker 2: Well, we're looking forward to it as well, mister Speaker. 211 00:08:44,800 --> 00:08:46,880 Speaker 2: Appreciate you making the time for us here. 212 00:08:47,840 --> 00:08:48,079 Speaker 6: It is. 213 00:08:48,240 --> 00:08:50,360 Speaker 2: It's a blessed week. You know, it's been great for 214 00:08:50,400 --> 00:08:52,320 Speaker 2: an R and C, but it actually actually has just 215 00:08:52,360 --> 00:08:55,960 Speaker 2: been great for the country too. That we all dodged 216 00:08:55,960 --> 00:08:58,160 Speaker 2: a bullet in a sense, we did as a nation. 217 00:08:58,400 --> 00:09:01,280 Speaker 4: It's not an overstatement. And you hear two major themes here. 218 00:09:01,440 --> 00:09:03,440 Speaker 4: Unity is the main theme, and we feel that and 219 00:09:03,480 --> 00:09:05,280 Speaker 4: it's electric and you can feel it. You feel it 220 00:09:05,280 --> 00:09:07,800 Speaker 4: out in the country right now, in our party and beyond, 221 00:09:07,960 --> 00:09:08,960 Speaker 4: but also providence. 222 00:09:09,000 --> 00:09:09,800 Speaker 3: Both of those things. 223 00:09:09,880 --> 00:09:11,720 Speaker 4: And it's a really important time to be an American 224 00:09:11,760 --> 00:09:13,000 Speaker 4: and a great time to be a Republican. 225 00:09:13,000 --> 00:09:14,400 Speaker 3: Misspeaker, please come back again soon. 226 00:09:14,440 --> 00:09:15,800 Speaker 2: We're gonna have a lot to talk about here with 227 00:09:15,880 --> 00:09:19,240 Speaker 2: the upcoming house battle, because we think that that's where. 228 00:09:19,160 --> 00:09:22,400 Speaker 3: The money's going, right, the real right, keep praying, we'll 229 00:09:22,440 --> 00:09:24,400 Speaker 3: keep working. Got to stay on that one. 230 00:09:24,640 --> 00:09:26,880 Speaker 2: You know, it takes a confident person to say, I'm 231 00:09:26,880 --> 00:09:30,520 Speaker 2: gonna intentionally, as the CEO of a publicly traded company 232 00:09:30,520 --> 00:09:33,440 Speaker 2: who can get a big salary, take one dollar a 233 00:09:33,520 --> 00:09:38,200 Speaker 2: year in salary. But my friend, entrepreneur and investor Porter 234 00:09:38,320 --> 00:09:41,720 Speaker 2: Stansbury has done exactly that. Why did Porter make this 235 00:09:41,800 --> 00:09:45,160 Speaker 2: decision as the CEO of this very profitable financial research 236 00:09:45,200 --> 00:09:47,560 Speaker 2: firm to cut his salary all that way. Well, he 237 00:09:47,600 --> 00:09:49,160 Speaker 2: has a good reason for it. He thinks there's a 238 00:09:49,200 --> 00:09:52,160 Speaker 2: better way to compensate himself. And why does this matter 239 00:09:52,160 --> 00:09:54,640 Speaker 2: to you, Well, because he thinks you can do the same. 240 00:09:55,280 --> 00:09:58,120 Speaker 2: Thousands and thousands of Americans in different full time roles 241 00:09:58,160 --> 00:10:01,760 Speaker 2: have become compensated or start to become compensated in this new, 242 00:10:02,440 --> 00:10:06,000 Speaker 2: not so well known currency form, but a lot of people, 243 00:10:06,040 --> 00:10:09,000 Speaker 2: most people don't know very much about it. Porter's hoping 244 00:10:09,000 --> 00:10:12,760 Speaker 2: to change that. It's critical that you understand how America's 245 00:10:12,800 --> 00:10:16,559 Speaker 2: new money works.

While you are rapidly balding. A while 262 00:11:10,760 --> 00:11:15,000 Speaker 5: you are rapidly balding, I am actually impressed.

I 371 00:15:53,920 --> 00:15:56,680 Speaker 7: think the calculation is purely for the Senate and the 372 00:15:56,720 --> 00:15:59,520 Speaker 7: House now. I think they are really really afraid of 373 00:15:59,560 --> 00:16:03,480 Speaker 7: a public Republicans having when you abandon your base and 374 00:16:03,520 --> 00:16:06,320 Speaker 7: you're actually blowing up your own munitions and just hoping. 375 00:16:06,400 --> 00:16:07,400 Speaker 3: Okay, exactly right. 376 00:16:07,480 --> 00:16:09,600 Speaker 5: I think they're gonna move on from Kamala too, because 377 00:16:09,600 --> 00:16:11,920 Speaker 5: they don't think she can win.

I talked 452 00:19:26,560 --> 00:19:29,359 Speaker 8: with President Trump on Sunday evening. He told me that 453 00:19:29,359 --> 00:19:31,320 Speaker 8: God held him in the palm of his hand that day. 454 00:19:32,240 --> 00:19:34,640 Speaker 8: Think about how close we came to a global disaster, 455 00:19:34,720 --> 00:19:35,560 Speaker 8: a global crisis. 456 00:19:35,600 --> 00:19:37,760 Speaker 6: And he went directly to the point. I think we all. 457 00:19:37,600 --> 00:19:41,240 Speaker 8: Feel too about his mourning and sorrow for the father 458 00:19:41,320 --> 00:19:44,840 Speaker 8: of two, the firefighter fifty year old who lost his life. 459 00:19:45,160 --> 00:19:47,560 Speaker 8: The go fundme page that we put together a Sunday 460 00:19:47,680 --> 00:19:49,280 Speaker 8: Kid Rock and I did an event. We got the 461 00:19:49,320 --> 00:19:52,119 Speaker 8: number up over three point four million dollars in the 462 00:19:52,119 --> 00:19:52,840 Speaker 8: go fundme page. 463 00:19:52,840 --> 00:19:54,280 Speaker 6: I think it's well over five now. 464 00:19:54,640 --> 00:19:56,879 Speaker 8: That just goes to the generosity and the outpouring of 465 00:19:56,920 --> 00:20:01,480 Speaker 8: support from the American public. But things begin to unfold. 466 00:20:01,960 --> 00:20:05,879 Speaker 8: We realized there were some serious, serious challenges here. And 467 00:20:05,920 --> 00:20:09,679 Speaker 8: what we see again is the Biden administration calling on 468 00:20:10,080 --> 00:20:14,200 Speaker 8: democracy and putting democracy at the foe. Yet when democracy 469 00:20:14,240 --> 00:20:18,919 Speaker 8: is truly threatened, they sit on their hands. This director 470 00:20:18,960 --> 00:20:21,040 Speaker 8: Cheatle needs to be held to account, yet Joe Biden 471 00:20:21,080 --> 00:20:23,680 Speaker 8: has done nothing to do it. She should be fired, 472 00:20:24,080 --> 00:20:26,080 Speaker 8: she should be marched out, she should be burke walked 473 00:20:26,080 --> 00:20:28,440 Speaker 8: out of the building. The same goes from majorcas but 474 00:20:28,560 --> 00:20:31,680 Speaker 8: this administration again covering for the Deep States, sitting on 475 00:20:31,720 --> 00:20:35,520 Speaker 8: their hands, putting unqualified people into positions, and you saw 476 00:20:35,560 --> 00:20:36,520 Speaker 8: what happened on Saturday. 477 00:20:36,520 --> 00:20:38,440 Speaker 5: As a result, we've been talking a lot about whether 478 00:20:38,480 --> 00:20:41,679 Speaker 5: Biden's the guy. Do you think that he's going to 479 00:20:41,680 --> 00:20:44,160 Speaker 5: be the nominee or do you think they're basically saying 480 00:20:44,240 --> 00:20:46,920 Speaker 5: you're done and moving on to Kamal or someone else. 481 00:20:47,000 --> 00:20:50,240 Speaker 8: I think they're in to uber panic mode right now, Clay, 482 00:20:50,240 --> 00:20:52,320 Speaker 8: and you saw them come up with this COVID excuse 483 00:20:52,359 --> 00:20:55,159 Speaker 8: for him not going on stage yesterday. I think what 484 00:20:55,200 --> 00:20:57,520 Speaker 8: they're doing, isy're drafting his resignation speech is what I 485 00:20:57,880 --> 00:21:01,080 Speaker 8: surmise from all of this. It's amazing how quickly the 486 00:21:01,119 --> 00:21:02,520 Speaker 8: knives came out after that debate. 487 00:21:02,760 --> 00:21:04,480 Speaker 2: Wait Center, Just to be clear, so you don't even 488 00:21:04,520 --> 00:21:07,040 Speaker 2: think it's just he's going to say I won't be 489 00:21:07,080 --> 00:21:09,680 Speaker 2: my party's nominee. You think he won't stay in office 490 00:21:09,720 --> 00:21:10,680 Speaker 2: to finish out his term. 491 00:21:11,000 --> 00:21:13,240 Speaker 8: I think he probably would try to stay in office, 492 00:21:13,280 --> 00:21:15,199 Speaker 8: but if he's not qualified to run, this is what 493 00:21:15,240 --> 00:21:17,200 Speaker 8: I've been saying, Well, how could he be qualified to 494 00:21:17,200 --> 00:21:19,240 Speaker 8: finish the job? And look I've had a number of 495 00:21:19,240 --> 00:21:23,399 Speaker 8: world leaders reach out to me after that debate, wondering 496 00:21:23,400 --> 00:21:25,399 Speaker 8: if they can even make it till January twentieth. 497 00:21:25,400 --> 00:21:25,480 Speaker 7: Thing. 498 00:21:25,600 --> 00:21:26,120 Speaker 6: Yeah, it will. 499 00:21:26,119 --> 00:21:29,119 Speaker 8: Our nation make it after what was demonstrated to the 500 00:21:29,160 --> 00:21:32,560 Speaker 8: world in terms of Joe Biden's lave for competency. Look, 501 00:21:33,000 --> 00:21:35,359 Speaker 8: I'm sorry for him in terms of his physical health, 502 00:21:35,840 --> 00:21:38,240 Speaker 8: He's not in a position to run the nation. I 503 00:21:38,240 --> 00:21:40,879 Speaker 8: think that's obvious to most everyone. If he has to 504 00:21:40,880 --> 00:21:45,679 Speaker 8: step down for medical reasons, it should be tomorrow, not 505 00:21:45,920 --> 00:21:47,200 Speaker 8: on the twentieth of January. 506 00:21:47,280 --> 00:21:50,320 Speaker 2: Yeah, that seems to be the only fair minded approach 507 00:21:50,359 --> 00:21:51,960 Speaker 2: you would have do an honest approach. So we'll see 508 00:21:51,960 --> 00:21:54,560 Speaker 2: what they end up doing. What are your expectations for 509 00:21:54,640 --> 00:21:57,119 Speaker 2: the Trump speech. I mean, we're now just hours away 510 00:21:57,880 --> 00:21:59,639 Speaker 2: from the Trump speech tonight, which is going to be 511 00:21:59,640 --> 00:22:05,000 Speaker 2: the the paramount moment I think of the whole RNC. Obviously, 512 00:22:05,080 --> 00:22:07,400 Speaker 2: jd Vance's VP was very exciting. That was a great 513 00:22:07,400 --> 00:22:09,359 Speaker 2: way to kick it off. But what are your thoughts 514 00:22:09,400 --> 00:22:11,520 Speaker 2: about what you expect to hear from President Trump tonight? 515 00:22:11,680 --> 00:22:13,600 Speaker 8: Well above, President Trump and I talked about this on 516 00:22:13,640 --> 00:22:15,600 Speaker 8: Sunday evening. We talked for about twenty or twenty five 517 00:22:15,640 --> 00:22:21,280 Speaker 8: minutes about the tone, and you know, I could just 518 00:22:21,320 --> 00:22:24,240 Speaker 8: really feel a somber approach to this when I spoke 519 00:22:24,280 --> 00:22:25,760 Speaker 8: with the President. I mean, none of us have been 520 00:22:25,800 --> 00:22:28,359 Speaker 8: in this, and prayerfully we never will be to be 521 00:22:28,440 --> 00:22:33,359 Speaker 8: that close to being murdered, and a very somber tone. 522 00:22:33,760 --> 00:22:35,840 Speaker 6: He told me that the whole tone of this convention 523 00:22:35,920 --> 00:22:38,160 Speaker 6: is going to change, and indeed it has. He said, 524 00:22:38,160 --> 00:22:40,800 Speaker 6: I'm rethinking my remarks for Thursday. I'm rethinking the speech. 525 00:22:40,800 --> 00:22:43,000 Speaker 6: I'm going to rewrite my speech. I don't know what 526 00:22:43,000 --> 00:22:44,439 Speaker 6: it's going to say. I don't think any of us do. 527 00:22:44,520 --> 00:22:47,479 Speaker 8: And that's President Trump is the master of holding us 528 00:22:47,480 --> 00:22:50,560 Speaker 8: in suspense. But I have a feeling that it's going 529 00:22:50,640 --> 00:22:53,680 Speaker 8: to be a very different sort of approach than that 530 00:22:53,760 --> 00:22:55,119 Speaker 8: he might have had in mine Originally. 531 00:22:55,240 --> 00:22:58,000 Speaker 5: After twenty twenty two, you went and did a deep 532 00:22:58,080 --> 00:23:00,760 Speaker 5: dive on what Democrats were doing better to get out 533 00:23:00,800 --> 00:23:03,439 Speaker 5: their vote than Republicans. As we sit here three and 534 00:23:03,440 --> 00:23:08,040 Speaker 5: a half months out battlegrounds Ohio, Montana, Senate in particular, 535 00:23:08,119 --> 00:23:12,880 Speaker 5: I'm talking Pennsylvania, Arizona, Nevada, lots of different states out 536 00:23:12,880 --> 00:23:16,240 Speaker 5: there with winnable races, how do you see the field, 537 00:23:16,440 --> 00:23:19,040 Speaker 5: kind of laying itself out there. And do you think 538 00:23:19,119 --> 00:23:23,600 Speaker 5: the Republican Party is more ready to compete on the 539 00:23:23,640 --> 00:23:26,200 Speaker 5: field in twenty four than maybe we were in twenty two. 540 00:23:26,280 --> 00:23:29,359 Speaker 8: Clay, I'm certainly dedicated to making certain we have greater 541 00:23:29,440 --> 00:23:31,640 Speaker 8: confidence in twenty twenty four than we did in twenty two. 542 00:23:31,680 --> 00:23:34,560 Speaker 8: As you mentioned, I campaigned in ten states in twenty twenty. 543 00:23:34,640 --> 00:23:36,880 Speaker 8: I'm sorry, campaign in seven states the last ten days 544 00:23:36,880 --> 00:23:40,320 Speaker 8: of twenty two. I sincerely thought we would be at 545 00:23:40,560 --> 00:23:42,520 Speaker 8: fifty two, fifty three, maybe even fifty four. 546 00:23:42,520 --> 00:23:44,240 Speaker 6: I remember being with the two of you an election night, 547 00:23:44,280 --> 00:23:44,720 Speaker 6: how sad. 548 00:23:44,760 --> 00:23:50,360 Speaker 8: I was clearly Florida the club I was with both 549 00:23:50,400 --> 00:23:52,960 Speaker 8: of you when I was expecting something quite different. 550 00:23:52,760 --> 00:23:54,720 Speaker 3: Somebody who was exceptional to share our cellars. 551 00:23:55,600 --> 00:23:58,199 Speaker 8: That was a sad night. But I woke up the 552 00:23:58,200 --> 00:24:00,439 Speaker 8: next day and I said, this can't happen again. And 553 00:24:00,520 --> 00:24:02,560 Speaker 8: so we went through an analyzed each of the states 554 00:24:02,640 --> 00:24:04,399 Speaker 8: in twenty twenty two to figure out what happened. And 555 00:24:04,720 --> 00:24:07,160 Speaker 8: very simply, they beat us on the ground. They didn't 556 00:24:07,160 --> 00:24:08,800 Speaker 8: beat us with a better message, they didn't beat us 557 00:24:08,800 --> 00:24:11,320 Speaker 8: with better candidates. They beat us on the ground. Exhibit 558 00:24:11,359 --> 00:24:14,399 Speaker 8: A would be Pennsylvania. You think about it. By the 559 00:24:14,440 --> 00:24:16,800 Speaker 8: time of the debate that occurred in Pennsylvania, they had 560 00:24:16,800 --> 00:24:20,159 Speaker 8: gone to fifty days of early voting, unlimited mail out ballots, 561 00:24:20,160 --> 00:24:22,800 Speaker 8: and ballot harvesting. The Democrats were ready for this, and 562 00:24:22,880 --> 00:24:26,520 Speaker 8: John Fetterman had amassed over nine hundred thousand votes by 563 00:24:26,520 --> 00:24:29,160 Speaker 8: that debate, OZ only had about two hundred thousand votes, 564 00:24:29,200 --> 00:24:31,400 Speaker 8: So you got over seven hundred thousand vote lead before 565 00:24:31,400 --> 00:24:32,200 Speaker 8: anybody's ever. 566 00:24:32,119 --> 00:24:33,560 Speaker 6: Sees who the candidate is. 567 00:24:34,000 --> 00:24:36,480 Speaker 8: The most googled question in Pennsylvania for the following week 568 00:24:36,520 --> 00:24:38,520 Speaker 8: was how do I change my vote? Well, you can't, 569 00:24:39,000 --> 00:24:41,320 Speaker 8: and so on election Day OZ out performs Federman by 570 00:24:41,359 --> 00:24:43,760 Speaker 8: four hundred thousand votes. That's not nearly enough to overcome 571 00:24:43,760 --> 00:24:47,159 Speaker 8: the margin. You think about Nevada. I was out two 572 00:24:47,240 --> 00:24:49,879 Speaker 8: days before the election campaigning with Adam Laxalt. He's up 573 00:24:49,920 --> 00:24:53,280 Speaker 8: four points. On election day, Adam wins. But guess what happens. 574 00:24:53,800 --> 00:24:56,720 Speaker 8: We waited. Republican voters waited until election day, whereas the 575 00:24:56,720 --> 00:24:59,520 Speaker 8: Democrats had been voting all the way along through the period, 576 00:25:00,040 --> 00:25:02,280 Speaker 8: and it snowed in northern Nevada, heavy rains in the 577 00:25:02,280 --> 00:25:04,320 Speaker 8: middle part of the state, Adam's base was in the 578 00:25:04,320 --> 00:25:06,879 Speaker 8: northern part of Nevada. We lost by less than eight 579 00:25:06,880 --> 00:25:10,439 Speaker 8: thousand votes. That's for votes per precinct. People couldn't get 580 00:25:10,440 --> 00:25:12,400 Speaker 8: to the vote, couldn't get to the poll that day, 581 00:25:12,760 --> 00:25:14,600 Speaker 8: and this is what happens. We can't let that happen again. 582 00:25:14,600 --> 00:25:16,600 Speaker 8: We got to vote early. Got to make certain that 583 00:25:16,640 --> 00:25:18,520 Speaker 8: our big folks are signed up and understand the rules. 584 00:25:18,560 --> 00:25:20,480 Speaker 8: And that's what I'm dedicated to doing. We're on the 585 00:25:20,520 --> 00:25:23,120 Speaker 8: ground in multiple states right now with a Sentinel Action 586 00:25:23,200 --> 00:25:24,160 Speaker 8: Fund doing just that. 587 00:25:24,720 --> 00:25:25,320 Speaker 3: It's important. 588 00:25:25,400 --> 00:25:27,960 Speaker 5: You just said there's a lot of nervousness about vote 589 00:25:27,960 --> 00:25:30,399 Speaker 5: by mail, voting early, but you just hit the weather. 590 00:25:31,160 --> 00:25:33,240 Speaker 5: Maybe you got a kid who's sick, maybe you got 591 00:25:33,240 --> 00:25:35,159 Speaker 5: a parent that you have to take care of on 592 00:25:35,320 --> 00:25:38,040 Speaker 5: election day, and it doesn't happen for you. You plan 593 00:25:38,119 --> 00:25:40,320 Speaker 5: on it, you don't get there, go ahead and bank 594 00:25:40,560 --> 00:25:41,399 Speaker 5: and get your vote in. 595 00:25:41,600 --> 00:25:43,720 Speaker 8: That's absolutely right, Clayon. I tell you, I want to 596 00:25:43,720 --> 00:25:47,639 Speaker 8: compliment my colleagues at the RNC. They have put an 597 00:25:47,680 --> 00:25:51,440 Speaker 8: incredible amount of effort into election security. The Trump team 598 00:25:51,480 --> 00:25:54,000 Speaker 8: has been working on this with legal teams all over 599 00:25:54,040 --> 00:25:55,720 Speaker 8: the country to make certain that we try to make 600 00:25:55,720 --> 00:25:58,720 Speaker 8: the vote as secure as we possibly can. We are 601 00:25:58,960 --> 00:26:01,760 Speaker 8: looking at a situation when I feel very comfortable with 602 00:26:01,840 --> 00:26:03,760 Speaker 8: the safety and security of our votes. We're going to 603 00:26:03,800 --> 00:26:06,359 Speaker 8: have lawyers on the ground everywhere to make certain that 604 00:26:06,400 --> 00:26:09,640 Speaker 8: we remain secure. And we've got to convince our voters 605 00:26:09,640 --> 00:26:12,320 Speaker 8: that first to understand the rules set. But let's play 606 00:26:12,359 --> 00:26:14,120 Speaker 8: by the set of rules, even though we don't like them. 607 00:26:14,480 --> 00:26:17,000 Speaker 8: We know the Democrats are going to be maximizing those rules. 608 00:26:17,119 --> 00:26:19,320 Speaker 8: Let's not take the risk of waiting until Christmas Eve 609 00:26:19,400 --> 00:26:21,560 Speaker 8: to buy our Christmas present. You know, any coach that 610 00:26:21,600 --> 00:26:23,119 Speaker 8: would wait till the fourth quarter to put it in 611 00:26:23,160 --> 00:26:25,719 Speaker 8: your lexiconclay to start running up the score is going 612 00:26:25,720 --> 00:26:26,240 Speaker 8: to get fired. 613 00:26:26,320 --> 00:26:26,520 Speaker 6: Right. 614 00:26:27,000 --> 00:26:28,760 Speaker 8: We need to be playing early. We know the outcome, 615 00:26:28,800 --> 00:26:31,440 Speaker 8: we know how important it is get that vote banked early. 616 00:26:31,240 --> 00:26:33,600 Speaker 2: And we don't want to be over confident. No high 617 00:26:33,640 --> 00:26:37,159 Speaker 2: stepping into the end zone around here. Senator's right, I 618 00:26:37,200 --> 00:26:41,000 Speaker 2: learned the things.

But 622 00:26:50,080 --> 00:26:52,280 Speaker 2: if your family made great memories when you were getting 623 00:26:52,320 --> 00:26:54,800 Speaker 2: together over the summer.

It's it's a long time, 673 00:29:17,920 --> 00:29:19,160 Speaker 9: you know. He was there, had the Battle of the 674 00:29:19,160 --> 00:29:23,880 Speaker 9: Billionaires and won the match. Actually got to keep his hair. Yeah, 675 00:29:23,920 --> 00:29:24,720 Speaker 9: I got to keep his hair. 676 00:29:25,720 --> 00:29:28,240 Speaker 2: Well, as we know, the hair is very yeah, so 677 00:29:28,480 --> 00:29:31,800 Speaker 2: he keeps he keeps that top of mind. We're excited 678 00:29:31,840 --> 00:29:35,200 Speaker 2: about the speech tonight. Just wondering from from your perspective, 679 00:29:35,240 --> 00:29:37,680 Speaker 2: I mean, as a one thing, as a Tennessee guy. 680 00:29:37,760 --> 00:29:39,480 Speaker 2: We had a lot of Tennessee this hour. By the way, 681 00:29:39,520 --> 00:29:43,600 Speaker 2: I'm sitting here with mister Tennessee to my left. The 682 00:29:43,640 --> 00:29:46,600 Speaker 2: conservative model or the you know, red state model of 683 00:29:46,640 --> 00:29:49,560 Speaker 2: governance clearly winning across the country. How are you seeing 684 00:29:49,560 --> 00:29:51,080 Speaker 2: that play out in your home state and how do 685 00:29:51,120 --> 00:29:54,280 Speaker 2: you think that factors into the Republican Party platform going 686 00:29:54,280 --> 00:29:54,880 Speaker 2: into this election. 687 00:29:55,000 --> 00:29:57,120 Speaker 9: Tennessee is the best run state in the country. We 688 00:29:57,160 --> 00:30:01,000 Speaker 9: are the most fiscally responsible state. We have virtually no debt, 689 00:30:01,080 --> 00:30:03,640 Speaker 9: We have one of the lowest tax state and local 690 00:30:03,680 --> 00:30:06,560 Speaker 9: burdens in the country, so we're very well run. 691 00:30:06,720 --> 00:30:08,880 Speaker 3: And it just is thos principles. 692 00:30:08,920 --> 00:30:09,080 Speaker 8: You know. 693 00:30:09,400 --> 00:30:11,520 Speaker 9: One of the major things is allowing people to keep 694 00:30:11,520 --> 00:30:13,040 Speaker 9: their money because they know how to spend it better 695 00:30:13,080 --> 00:30:15,600 Speaker 9: than the government does. And it's just that idea of 696 00:30:15,600 --> 00:30:17,760 Speaker 9: lower government and keeping government out of our lives as 697 00:30:17,800 --> 00:30:20,320 Speaker 9: much as possible. And what we're seeing in Tennessee, and 698 00:30:20,360 --> 00:30:23,160 Speaker 9: Clay can attest to this as well, is we're seeing 699 00:30:23,200 --> 00:30:26,320 Speaker 9: a mass influx of political refugees coming from the Blue 700 00:30:26,360 --> 00:30:28,520 Speaker 9: states because they're just tired of all the foolishness going 701 00:30:28,560 --> 00:30:29,720 Speaker 9: on in places like California. 702 00:30:29,800 --> 00:30:32,800 Speaker 3: How is that doing for party registrations? I'm your sure, 703 00:30:32,880 --> 00:30:35,600 Speaker 3: are you getting ready? Yes? Voters? Yes, blue states? Yes. 704 00:30:35,600 --> 00:30:38,040 Speaker 9: And now we don't have we have open primaries, so 705 00:30:38,080 --> 00:30:40,400 Speaker 9: we don't have like registered Republicans and Democrats like a 706 00:30:40,440 --> 00:30:41,920 Speaker 9: lot of states do. But you see what happened in 707 00:30:41,960 --> 00:30:45,200 Speaker 9: Florida and how that whole thing flipped, going from a 708 00:30:45,280 --> 00:30:47,000 Speaker 9: slightly blue state to a. 709 00:30:47,000 --> 00:30:50,400 Speaker 2: More and fifty thousand because I lived there off half 710 00:30:50,400 --> 00:30:51,120 Speaker 2: a million plus. 711 00:30:51,120 --> 00:30:52,680 Speaker 9: Now, yeah, and there was a poll that was done 712 00:30:53,200 --> 00:30:55,640 Speaker 9: probably a few years ago, but anyway, it was like 713 00:30:55,680 --> 00:30:58,280 Speaker 9: sixty percent of the people that have moved to Tennessee 714 00:30:58,640 --> 00:31:04,680 Speaker 9: to Middle Tennessee were Republicans. More importantly, they were super voters, 715 00:31:05,040 --> 00:31:09,320 Speaker 9: so they were actually more conservative than their neighbors. So 716 00:31:09,400 --> 00:31:11,920 Speaker 9: I think it's actually turning reci Tennessee. 717 00:31:11,560 --> 00:31:14,560 Speaker 5: Even redder when you look at what we can expect 718 00:31:14,560 --> 00:31:19,120 Speaker 5: from Trump tonight, obviously coming off of the assassination attempt 719 00:31:19,200 --> 00:31:22,960 Speaker 5: on Saturday. I'm curious if you've had any time to 720 00:31:23,000 --> 00:31:24,400 Speaker 5: interact with him, because I want to give you a 721 00:31:24,440 --> 00:31:27,200 Speaker 5: little bit of a praise here. I talked to President 722 00:31:27,240 --> 00:31:30,640 Speaker 5: Trump about Iowa and he said that you were out 723 00:31:30,680 --> 00:31:31,000 Speaker 5: in the. 724 00:31:30,960 --> 00:31:34,320 Speaker 3: Freezing cold later working harder. 725 00:31:33,920 --> 00:31:36,560 Speaker 5: Than almost anybody out there that was a surrogate on 726 00:31:36,720 --> 00:31:40,239 Speaker 5: his behalf, and he really appreciated that. It seems to 727 00:31:40,320 --> 00:31:42,640 Speaker 5: us we had him on the show Friday, that just 728 00:31:42,720 --> 00:31:46,480 Speaker 5: watching him, he seems more somber, reflective. 729 00:31:46,520 --> 00:31:47,200 Speaker 3: Have you seen that? 730 00:31:47,400 --> 00:31:51,240 Speaker 9: Yeah, he does, and that experience I'm sure will do 731 00:31:51,320 --> 00:31:53,280 Speaker 9: that to you. I mean, I've talked to some people 732 00:31:53,320 --> 00:31:55,000 Speaker 9: that are close to him. I haven't had the opportunity 733 00:31:55,000 --> 00:31:58,560 Speaker 9: to talk to him about some people around him, and 734 00:31:58,680 --> 00:32:00,920 Speaker 9: the most impressive thing don't see impress him in a 735 00:32:00,960 --> 00:32:03,200 Speaker 9: good way, but impressive. As far as his his own 736 00:32:03,240 --> 00:32:07,000 Speaker 9: emotions about it, he is more concerned about the in 737 00:32:07,240 --> 00:32:09,920 Speaker 9: the man that was killed, the firefighter that was killed, 738 00:32:10,120 --> 00:32:12,600 Speaker 9: and the people that are injured than he was himself. 739 00:32:12,640 --> 00:32:15,720 Speaker 9: That's the first thing I actually asked, was how's everybody else? 740 00:32:16,000 --> 00:32:16,080 Speaker 3: Uh? 741 00:32:16,160 --> 00:32:17,959 Speaker 9: So I do think that you know, that had an 742 00:32:18,000 --> 00:32:21,440 Speaker 9: impact on him in a personal way, and you can 743 00:32:21,440 --> 00:32:24,640 Speaker 9: see it just you know, just the way he's carrying 744 00:32:24,720 --> 00:32:26,720 Speaker 9: himself out onto the area, the floor and those sort 745 00:32:26,760 --> 00:32:29,360 Speaker 9: of things. As far as the speech, you know, I 746 00:32:29,400 --> 00:32:31,680 Speaker 9: don't think this is going to be and he said 747 00:32:31,720 --> 00:32:33,720 Speaker 9: this as well. He basically tore up what he was 748 00:32:33,760 --> 00:32:36,640 Speaker 9: going to say, and the speech is going to be 749 00:32:36,840 --> 00:32:39,840 Speaker 9: much more about all of us coming together. And you know, 750 00:32:39,960 --> 00:32:43,800 Speaker 9: it's funny because the Democrats pride themselves on all that stuff, 751 00:32:45,000 --> 00:32:49,600 Speaker 9: and literally within two days of their horrible rhetoric of 752 00:32:49,680 --> 00:32:54,479 Speaker 9: you know, calling Trumpet fascist and Hitler, well, two days later, uh, 753 00:32:54,960 --> 00:32:58,080 Speaker 9: they're back to saying that JD. Vance is a maggot 754 00:32:58,200 --> 00:33:01,680 Speaker 9: street maggot extremist. So you know, they're the ones that 755 00:33:01,720 --> 00:33:02,680 Speaker 9: are driving the division. 756 00:33:04,320 --> 00:33:06,120 Speaker 2: Pick by the way, how does he how does he 757 00:33:06,160 --> 00:33:08,040 Speaker 2: line up with what you think is best for the party. 758 00:33:08,360 --> 00:33:10,160 Speaker 9: Well, I think it's great. First of all, he's a 759 00:33:10,200 --> 00:33:14,160 Speaker 9: young guy, obviously very intelligent. He's also one of those 760 00:33:14,200 --> 00:33:15,920 Speaker 9: people that he's lived the American dream. 761 00:33:16,080 --> 00:33:16,240 Speaker 3: You know. 762 00:33:16,320 --> 00:33:20,600 Speaker 9: He started out virtually nothing, very bad situation, joined the 763 00:33:20,640 --> 00:33:24,240 Speaker 9: Marine Corps, became a lawyer, got in the US Senate, 764 00:33:24,480 --> 00:33:26,600 Speaker 9: now is Vice presid the United States. So he is 765 00:33:26,640 --> 00:33:29,840 Speaker 9: a living testament about the opportunities that you have in 766 00:33:29,880 --> 00:33:30,400 Speaker 9: this country. 767 00:33:30,960 --> 00:33:32,920 Speaker 5: Would you have believed that Trump was going to be 768 00:33:32,960 --> 00:33:35,760 Speaker 5: President of the United States when you were doing WrestleMania 769 00:33:35,800 --> 00:33:38,120 Speaker 5: back in the day, or that you would feel compelled 770 00:33:38,120 --> 00:33:39,920 Speaker 5: to step into the political arena too. 771 00:33:40,760 --> 00:33:44,880 Speaker 9: No and no, actually, but I think in both cases 772 00:33:45,520 --> 00:33:48,840 Speaker 9: it's because we saw some things that needed to change 773 00:33:48,840 --> 00:33:49,680 Speaker 9: and are trying to do that. 774 00:33:50,640 --> 00:33:52,560 Speaker 3: The rock Huge superstar. 775 00:33:52,720 --> 00:33:55,320 Speaker 5: He endorsed Joe Biden, and some people can say, okay, 776 00:33:55,400 --> 00:34:00,320 Speaker 5: celebrity endorsement that in twenty twenty, okay, I don't think 777 00:34:00,320 --> 00:34:03,120 Speaker 5: any This came out with our friend Will Caine and 778 00:34:03,160 --> 00:34:06,080 Speaker 5: did a sit down interview and said, I'm not endorsing 779 00:34:06,240 --> 00:34:09,680 Speaker 5: this time.
