1
00:00:00,280 --> 00:00:05,600
Speaker 1: Welcome in second hour of Clay and Buck Kickshaw right now,

2
00:00:05,760 --> 00:00:08,520
Speaker 1: and we have been talking about election results. Of course,

3
00:00:09,240 --> 00:00:11,600
Speaker 1: look not a great night for Republicans, but not a

4
00:00:11,680 --> 00:00:14,120
Speaker 1: terrible night because we expected to lose these races. So

5
00:00:14,200 --> 00:00:17,239
Speaker 1: let's all keep it, keep it in context, we keep

6
00:00:17,239 --> 00:00:21,120
Speaker 1: our composure here. We are happy warriors. It's all good.

7
00:00:21,360 --> 00:00:24,400
Speaker 1: It's all gonna be fine in the long run. We're

8
00:00:24,400 --> 00:00:27,720
Speaker 1: all dead, Clay, you know what I mean. You know, so,

9
00:00:28,600 --> 00:00:32,319
Speaker 1: don't make me go full Bill Murray in groundhog Day

10
00:00:32,360 --> 00:00:35,519
Speaker 1: when he's like thousands of people gathered together to worship

11
00:00:35,560 --> 00:00:38,680
Speaker 1: a rat. Remember that, Oh he's just quit. He's just

12
00:00:38,720 --> 00:00:41,120
Speaker 1: done with everything because he's living the same day over

13
00:00:41,159 --> 00:00:44,800
Speaker 1: and over again. Groundhog Day underrated movie. I might say,

14
00:00:44,800 --> 00:00:47,599
Speaker 1: a great movie. It's just a it's funny. You can

15
00:00:47,600 --> 00:00:49,960
Speaker 1: watch it over and over again. Look at that the irony.

16
00:00:50,560 --> 00:00:53,080
Speaker 1: It's a great movie. But I just always remember Bill

17
00:00:53,120 --> 00:00:56,280
Speaker 1: Murray like so just he's just had it right. We're

18
00:00:56,320 --> 00:00:59,080
Speaker 1: not there. Everything's gonna be fine. Everything's gonna be fine.

19
00:01:00,120 --> 00:01:02,200
Speaker 1: We gotta fight, we gotta win, we gotta stay focused.

20
00:01:02,560 --> 00:01:04,839
Speaker 1: That is that is baked in here. That is all

21
00:01:04,920 --> 00:01:09,240
Speaker 1: a part of this. And uh, this is the situation

22
00:01:10,240 --> 00:01:15,320
Speaker 1: as we see it in New Jersey. It was a

23
00:01:15,319 --> 00:01:21,520
Speaker 1: close call, but they ran two female, very establishment candidates

24
00:01:21,600 --> 00:01:24,640
Speaker 1: in New for Democrats in New Jersey and in Virginia,

25
00:01:25,440 --> 00:01:28,280
Speaker 1: and let's just say it, it was a smart play for them.

26
00:01:28,400 --> 00:01:33,520
Speaker 1: Women are the constituency of the Democrat I should say,

27
00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:38,640
Speaker 1: particularly young and unmarried women are a primary constituency of

28
00:01:38,680 --> 00:01:42,920
Speaker 1: the Democrat Party right now, and they ran against Trump

29
00:01:43,000 --> 00:01:45,720
Speaker 1: Clay in these states. Isn't that it's so interesting? You

30
00:01:45,720 --> 00:01:47,920
Speaker 1: get to run to be the governor. Here's Mikey Cheryl.

31
00:01:49,240 --> 00:01:52,880
Speaker 1: You get to run to be the governor of New Jersey.

32
00:01:53,440 --> 00:01:57,520
Speaker 1: But instead of having to explain why Democrats run New

33
00:01:57,640 --> 00:02:05,600
Speaker 1: Jersey so poorly, instead of that they have oh we

34
00:02:05,720 --> 00:02:09,240
Speaker 1: have no kings here, and that gets their base all

35
00:02:09,280 --> 00:02:12,760
Speaker 1: fired up, like this is looney tone stuff. Play seventeen.

36
00:02:12,960 --> 00:02:15,680
Speaker 2: We're not going to give in to our darker impulses

37
00:02:16,280 --> 00:02:17,360
Speaker 2: here in New Jersey.

38
00:02:17,680 --> 00:02:20,320
Speaker 3: We know that this station has.

39
00:02:20,200 --> 00:02:26,880
Speaker 2: Not ever been, nor will it ever be, ruled by kings.

40
00:02:28,560 --> 00:02:31,960
Speaker 2: We take oaths to a constitution, not a king. We've

41
00:02:32,040 --> 00:02:35,880
Speaker 2: chosen liberty, the very foundation of democracy, and we've chosen

42
00:02:35,960 --> 00:02:41,120
Speaker 2: prosperity necessary to create opportunity for all.

43
00:02:41,320 --> 00:02:45,000
Speaker 1: Okay, idea here, theory here, I'm gonna float something out

44
00:02:45,040 --> 00:02:49,200
Speaker 1: to you. So, the Trump is a Nazi thing has been.

45
00:02:49,400 --> 00:02:52,000
Speaker 1: They have beaten that dead horse so much. I mean,

46
00:02:52,000 --> 00:02:56,079
Speaker 1: they have pushed that so much. And yet Trump, as

47
00:02:56,080 --> 00:02:59,880
Speaker 1: we know, close ally of Israel. Despite a lot of

48
00:02:59,880 --> 00:03:01,760
Speaker 1: the noise on the right these days about Israel and

49
00:03:02,120 --> 00:03:04,800
Speaker 1: Jews in America and everything, Trump is the closest friend

50
00:03:04,840 --> 00:03:07,320
Speaker 1: that Israel has ever had. I noticed that some of

51
00:03:07,360 --> 00:03:10,760
Speaker 1: these voices on the right that are critical of an

52
00:03:10,919 --> 00:03:13,760
Speaker 1: APAC and Israel and everything not critical of Trump. Though

53
00:03:13,919 --> 00:03:16,520
Speaker 1: very interesting how that happens. But anyway, Trump is a

54
00:03:16,560 --> 00:03:20,200
Speaker 1: close friend of Israel, and so they have to drop that.

55
00:03:20,960 --> 00:03:25,280
Speaker 1: Is it? Now? If you're an emotionally unstable lib are

56
00:03:25,320 --> 00:03:29,120
Speaker 1: you really going with the fighting Trump is fighting monarchy thing?

57
00:03:29,520 --> 00:03:31,639
Speaker 1: Is this what the switch is? Now? They've gone from

58
00:03:31,720 --> 00:03:33,080
Speaker 1: Nazis to King Trump.

59
00:03:34,160 --> 00:03:39,520
Speaker 3: They just have to convince their base that Trump is

60
00:03:40,280 --> 00:03:42,600
Speaker 3: a Nazi to such an extent.

61
00:03:42,920 --> 00:03:45,240
Speaker 1: That they will show up.

62
00:03:45,560 --> 00:03:47,240
Speaker 3: And I mean, to me, Buck, I looked at the

63
00:03:47,320 --> 00:03:50,040
Speaker 3: numbers this morning. That's the first thing that I did.

64
00:03:50,840 --> 00:03:54,720
Speaker 3: Trump's base doesn't show up when Trump's not on the ballot. Remember,

65
00:03:54,800 --> 00:03:57,200
Speaker 3: Obama's base didn't show up when Obama was not on

66
00:03:57,240 --> 00:03:59,800
Speaker 3: the base on the ballot. I think there are some

67
00:04:00,600 --> 00:04:05,560
Speaker 3: very popular with the base politicians that have a certain

68
00:04:05,600 --> 00:04:11,040
Speaker 3: amount of personal magnetism that doesn't translate beyond them. I

69
00:04:11,040 --> 00:04:13,960
Speaker 3: mean again, I look at it. Six hundred thousand fewer

70
00:04:14,040 --> 00:04:17,560
Speaker 3: people showed up to vote Republican in New Jersey and

71
00:04:17,640 --> 00:04:21,360
Speaker 3: in Virginia. Yes, look, Democrats, their voters showed up. But Buck,

72
00:04:21,360 --> 00:04:24,720
Speaker 3: I think to your point, it's because if you hate Trump,

73
00:04:25,279 --> 00:04:27,720
Speaker 3: you are way more likely to show up than if

74
00:04:27,760 --> 00:04:32,560
Speaker 3: you love Trump when Trump himself is not on the ballot. Democrat,

75
00:04:32,640 --> 00:04:36,240
Speaker 3: this is why logically the Democrat go after Trump thing.

76
00:04:36,680 --> 00:04:40,159
Speaker 3: It works in midterms. It works when Trump's not on

77
00:04:40,200 --> 00:04:42,160
Speaker 3: the ballot. I don't think it works very well when

78
00:04:42,160 --> 00:04:45,800
Speaker 3: Trump is on the ballot. And so this is why

79
00:04:45,839 --> 00:04:46,599
Speaker 3: I think the produces.

80
00:04:46,680 --> 00:04:51,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, just for sec the resistance thing. Look, it was

81
00:04:51,560 --> 00:04:54,400
Speaker 1: a little over, a little overdrawn, a little overwrought, you know,

82
00:04:54,440 --> 00:04:58,360
Speaker 1: the whole thing. But there was like Laarizistons in France,

83
00:04:58,480 --> 00:05:00,839
Speaker 1: and you know, there was like some cool history oracle parallel,

84
00:05:00,880 --> 00:05:02,320
Speaker 1: and you can think of yourself as some kind of

85
00:05:02,320 --> 00:05:06,320
Speaker 1: revolutionary Clay. No, Kings, it just sound like a bunch

86
00:05:06,360 --> 00:05:09,680
Speaker 1: of dorks. Honestly, it's not even a it's yes, it's

87
00:05:09,720 --> 00:05:13,400
Speaker 1: delusional and absurd, but also it's it's like they're slipping

88
00:05:13,560 --> 00:05:16,240
Speaker 1: usually they're Look, Black Lives Matter, say what you will

89
00:05:16,640 --> 00:05:18,960
Speaker 1: about what it has done, and we've said a lot. Right,

90
00:05:19,000 --> 00:05:26,080
Speaker 1: it's been very bad. The slogan, understanding the activist impulse,

91
00:05:26,240 --> 00:05:30,560
Speaker 1: understanding the power of those words. There was some marketing

92
00:05:30,680 --> 00:05:33,640
Speaker 1: genius in the Black Lives Matter situation.

93
00:05:34,080 --> 00:05:38,920
Speaker 3: Right, No Kings, it's lame. It's just lame. This is

94
00:05:38,960 --> 00:05:41,920
Speaker 3: what It's lame and weak. It might work in the midterms.

95
00:05:42,600 --> 00:05:44,080
Speaker 1: Ah, you're killing me with this.

96
00:05:44,320 --> 00:05:47,840
Speaker 3: No, I look, yes, it's a blue state. It's New Jersey,

97
00:05:47,839 --> 00:05:51,599
Speaker 3: it's Virginia. I am always of the opinion, and this

98
00:05:51,720 --> 00:05:53,600
Speaker 3: is the way that I think maybe I'm wrong on this.

99
00:05:54,279 --> 00:05:56,680
Speaker 3: If you lose, the first thing I want to do

100
00:05:56,800 --> 00:05:59,039
Speaker 3: is go back and look at what you did. This

101
00:05:59,080 --> 00:06:01,560
Speaker 3: is I always tell my kids kids when I coach basketball,

102
00:06:01,560 --> 00:06:05,840
Speaker 3: when I coached football, when I coached baseball, your opponent

103
00:06:05,960 --> 00:06:11,440
Speaker 3: being good is to a large extent beyond your control.

104
00:06:11,600 --> 00:06:14,440
Speaker 3: An opponent can play really well or really poorly. Now

105
00:06:14,440 --> 00:06:16,520
Speaker 3: you can make it more difficult, like all those things.

106
00:06:16,880 --> 00:06:19,600
Speaker 3: What I always want to control is what I can control.

107
00:06:20,200 --> 00:06:23,240
Speaker 3: That's the number one rule I think of of life. Honestly,

108
00:06:23,400 --> 00:06:28,080
Speaker 3: control what you can control. Six hundred thousand people in

109
00:06:28,120 --> 00:06:31,320
Speaker 3: New Jersey and in Virginia who voted for Trump last

110
00:06:31,400 --> 00:06:34,520
Speaker 3: year did not show up to vote in this twenty

111
00:06:34,560 --> 00:06:38,159
Speaker 3: twenty five election. Who were those? Who are those people?

112
00:06:38,720 --> 00:06:40,599
Speaker 3: Like I said, some of y'all are listening to right now.

113
00:06:41,360 --> 00:06:45,039
Speaker 3: So if they had, then these races would have either

114
00:06:45,080 --> 00:06:48,840
Speaker 3: been very very close or Republicans would have won. So

115
00:06:49,120 --> 00:06:55,159
Speaker 3: Republicans didn't lose because Democrats had better arguments. They lost

116
00:06:55,240 --> 00:06:58,400
Speaker 3: because the Democrat base was more willing to respond to

117
00:06:58,520 --> 00:07:01,400
Speaker 3: their argument than the Republican in base was to respond

118
00:07:01,480 --> 00:07:07,719
Speaker 3: to Winssiers and uh, and to Chitarelli, the Mikey Sheryl thing.

119
00:07:08,800 --> 00:07:12,760
Speaker 1: That was Uh. It was disappointing because I think that

120
00:07:12,840 --> 00:07:14,240
Speaker 1: Chitarelli had a real chance.

121
00:07:15,200 --> 00:07:15,640
Speaker 2: Uh.

122
00:07:15,720 --> 00:07:21,280
Speaker 1: But then there's a Spanberger and look, let's hear who

123
00:07:21,360 --> 00:07:27,640
Speaker 1: is who is such a a uh? What's an amorphous

124
00:07:28,280 --> 00:07:31,280
Speaker 1: phony in so many ways? You know, just talks and

125
00:07:31,400 --> 00:07:35,480
Speaker 1: circles doesn't take the She's going to govern like a

126
00:07:35,560 --> 00:07:39,400
Speaker 1: radical leftist people who follow politics and know anything about

127
00:07:39,400 --> 00:07:43,920
Speaker 1: who she is know that, but not enough to your

128
00:07:43,920 --> 00:07:47,120
Speaker 1: point about people not showing up, Virginians thought, oh, well,

129
00:07:47,200 --> 00:07:49,960
Speaker 1: you know it's governor not not that. Not all of them,

130
00:07:50,000 --> 00:07:53,880
Speaker 1: but obviously a fair number of Republicans in Virginia decided,

131
00:07:54,160 --> 00:07:56,320
Speaker 1: or don't just say Trump voters, not even just Republicans,

132
00:07:56,360 --> 00:07:59,040
Speaker 1: a fair number of Trump voters enough to deliver a

133
00:07:59,120 --> 00:08:00,640
Speaker 1: w for the Republican and said, oh, I'm not going

134
00:08:00,720 --> 00:08:03,800
Speaker 1: to show up. Here's what Spanberger says, Play twenty.

135
00:08:04,320 --> 00:08:12,600
Speaker 2: My fellow Virginians, tonight we sent a message. We sent

136
00:08:12,840 --> 00:08:17,480
Speaker 2: a message to every corner of the commonwealth, a message

137
00:08:17,880 --> 00:08:22,920
Speaker 2: to our neighbors and our fellow Americans across the country.

138
00:08:25,080 --> 00:08:28,640
Speaker 2: We sent a message to the whole world that in

139
00:08:28,800 --> 00:08:35,800
Speaker 2: twenty twenty five, Virginia chose pragmatism over partisanship. We chose

140
00:08:36,000 --> 00:08:38,559
Speaker 2: our commonwealth over chaos.

141
00:08:40,040 --> 00:08:44,599
Speaker 1: What does that even mean, Clay, pragmatism over partisanship. You

142
00:08:44,720 --> 00:08:47,480
Speaker 1: ran in a partisan election and you want dudes in

143
00:08:47,600 --> 00:08:50,360
Speaker 1: chicks locker rooms pragmatism.

144
00:08:51,240 --> 00:08:56,479
Speaker 3: I just again, I think everybody has to prepare themselves

145
00:08:56,880 --> 00:09:00,320
Speaker 3: for as moronic as you believe it is to say

146
00:09:00,360 --> 00:09:04,520
Speaker 3: no Kings or Hitler or the base of any You're right,

147
00:09:04,600 --> 00:09:08,320
Speaker 3: it is like these people are losers, they are morons.

148
00:09:08,400 --> 00:09:10,560
Speaker 3: I'm gonna just be honest with you. If you are

149
00:09:10,600 --> 00:09:13,319
Speaker 3: showing up at a No King's protest, I think you

150
00:09:13,400 --> 00:09:15,800
Speaker 3: are a huge loser who needs to get a life.

151
00:09:16,640 --> 00:09:18,400
Speaker 3: I don't think there's any other way to describe it.

152
00:09:18,840 --> 00:09:22,920
Speaker 3: But they have decided that their life's purpose Buck is

153
00:09:23,360 --> 00:09:26,520
Speaker 3: Trump is a king, Trump is Hitler, and so they're

154
00:09:26,559 --> 00:09:31,280
Speaker 3: gonna show up. So I think, for looking forward, what

155
00:09:31,640 --> 00:09:35,319
Speaker 3: has to happen in order for the coalition that showed

156
00:09:35,440 --> 00:09:38,600
Speaker 3: up for Trump in twenty twenty four to show up

157
00:09:38,600 --> 00:09:41,240
Speaker 3: again in twenty six and again in twenty eight. Those

158
00:09:41,280 --> 00:09:44,319
Speaker 3: are the questions that I think should be asked as

159
00:09:44,360 --> 00:09:45,800
Speaker 3: we get ready for the midterms.

160
00:09:46,240 --> 00:09:50,120
Speaker 1: I think that this is something I address in my book,

161
00:09:50,120 --> 00:09:51,600
Speaker 1: which will be out in February. By the way, have

162
00:09:51,600 --> 00:09:53,600
Speaker 1: you gotten your copy of Balls? I got my copy

163
00:09:53,640 --> 00:09:56,280
Speaker 1: of Balls that showed up yesterday, so I don't forget

164
00:09:56,280 --> 00:09:56,679
Speaker 1: on that one.

165
00:09:56,720 --> 00:09:58,720
Speaker 3: I saw your picture. You're pushing your book. I know

166
00:09:59,040 --> 00:10:01,760
Speaker 3: you are today. I appreciate it. The book is out there,

167
00:10:01,880 --> 00:10:04,400
Speaker 3: please go buy it. I love all of you who

168
00:10:04,400 --> 00:10:08,679
Speaker 3: have bought it. It is everywhere, and it is selling

169
00:10:08,800 --> 00:10:12,200
Speaker 3: really really well, according to the people who can monitor

170
00:10:12,320 --> 00:10:15,480
Speaker 3: these things, and one of the best selling books in

171
00:10:15,520 --> 00:10:16,920
Speaker 3: America as we speak.

172
00:10:17,240 --> 00:10:18,719
Speaker 1: You don't want to get caught without balls, you know

173
00:10:18,760 --> 00:10:20,640
Speaker 1: what I mean, It's not good. So you end up

174
00:10:20,720 --> 00:10:25,200
Speaker 1: voting for Mikey Cheryl or Avdannaberger. Mom, Donnie, if you

175
00:10:25,200 --> 00:10:28,239
Speaker 1: don't have balls, you need balls, Yeah, you need them.

176
00:10:28,400 --> 00:10:33,400
Speaker 1: I would say, though. The Democrat Party now for the

177
00:10:33,440 --> 00:10:36,600
Speaker 1: purposes of mobilization, and this is why I was talking

178
00:10:36,600 --> 00:10:38,760
Speaker 1: about the Nazi thing for Trump and now the no

179
00:10:39,000 --> 00:10:43,520
Speaker 1: Kings thing and the resistance and anti fascism. They have

180
00:10:43,679 --> 00:10:48,959
Speaker 1: to get people on their side to believe in a

181
00:10:49,200 --> 00:10:53,920
Speaker 1: fantasy in unreality. Yes, they're not saying show up and

182
00:10:54,040 --> 00:10:58,239
Speaker 1: vote for the Democrat because we can get higher taxes

183
00:10:58,559 --> 00:11:03,000
Speaker 1: on high earners and we're going to have a more

184
00:11:03,080 --> 00:11:06,960
Speaker 1: open borders policy where anybody can claim asylum and they're not.

185
00:11:07,200 --> 00:11:11,000
Speaker 1: It's Trump is a king. Yeah. Look, honestly, I think

186
00:11:11,000 --> 00:11:12,520
Speaker 1: Trump being a king would be kind of fun for

187
00:11:12,520 --> 00:11:14,640
Speaker 1: a little while. But that's a whole other that's a

188
00:11:14,679 --> 00:11:18,080
Speaker 1: whole other conversation. That's a whole other conversation. Point is

189
00:11:18,120 --> 00:11:20,760
Speaker 1: he's not nowhere near a king. All right, there's nowhere

190
00:11:20,800 --> 00:11:23,200
Speaker 1: near a king. We all know this. They are running

191
00:11:23,240 --> 00:11:27,720
Speaker 1: against a delusion and it works. And it works. Now

192
00:11:27,760 --> 00:11:29,240
Speaker 1: that's the troubling part. It works.

193
00:11:29,440 --> 00:11:31,240
Speaker 3: So that's why I look forward. I mean, look, the

194
00:11:31,280 --> 00:11:33,760
Speaker 3: reality is most of our lives and if you live

195
00:11:33,760 --> 00:11:35,920
Speaker 3: in Virginia or New Jersey, that can be different. Certainly

196
00:11:35,960 --> 00:11:37,640
Speaker 3: if you live in New York City, that can be different.

197
00:11:37,920 --> 00:11:39,959
Speaker 3: But for the vast majority of people listening right now,

198
00:11:40,000 --> 00:11:42,240
Speaker 3: our lives are not going to change substantially based on

199
00:11:42,240 --> 00:11:45,960
Speaker 3: what happened last night. But in the midterms, the first

200
00:11:46,040 --> 00:11:47,880
Speaker 3: thing they're gonna do if they take back the House

201
00:11:47,960 --> 00:11:50,959
Speaker 3: is impeached Donald Trump, and they're just gonna throw themselves

202
00:11:51,080 --> 00:11:56,000
Speaker 3: athwart all of a governance and refuse to allow anything

203
00:11:56,040 --> 00:11:58,000
Speaker 3: at all to happen if they take back the House.

204
00:11:58,600 --> 00:12:01,920
Speaker 3: And obviously in twenty two twenty eight, whomever is elected

205
00:12:02,000 --> 00:12:05,040
Speaker 3: as the next republic the president and certainly who the

206
00:12:05,120 --> 00:12:07,400
Speaker 3: Republican nominee is going to impact a lot of people

207
00:12:07,400 --> 00:12:10,480
Speaker 3: out there. So my point on all this is they're

208
00:12:10,520 --> 00:12:13,160
Speaker 3: going to look at these results and they're going to say,

209
00:12:13,360 --> 00:12:16,960
Speaker 3: our base still turns out against Trump. And so I

210
00:12:16,960 --> 00:12:19,760
Speaker 3: would suspect that will be their entire campaign next year.

211
00:12:20,000 --> 00:12:23,120
Speaker 1: Well, the midterms. That is absolutely the case. It is

212
00:12:23,600 --> 00:12:27,240
Speaker 1: the midterms is just a stop Trump election for them,

213
00:12:27,640 --> 00:12:30,800
Speaker 1: and that may be enough. Now we're going to have

214
00:12:30,840 --> 00:12:33,360
Speaker 1: to have people understand if the Democrats even just take

215
00:12:33,360 --> 00:12:37,200
Speaker 1: the House, never mind the Senate. The Trump agenda's over correct. Effectively,

216
00:12:37,559 --> 00:12:40,480
Speaker 1: it's dead in the water. Legislatively, you may be able

217
00:12:40,480 --> 00:12:42,640
Speaker 1: to get some cool executive you might get really creative

218
00:12:42,640 --> 00:12:44,960
Speaker 1: with some executive orders. We should mention the Supreme Court

219
00:12:45,000 --> 00:12:47,640
Speaker 1: is really hearing whether he has the authority on tariffs.

220
00:12:47,679 --> 00:12:49,920
Speaker 1: That happened today too. It kind of got snowed under

221
00:12:49,920 --> 00:12:54,199
Speaker 1: in the election results. So there's that That might be

222
00:12:54,280 --> 00:12:57,520
Speaker 1: the most destructive Supreme Court decision since they decided that

223
00:12:57,559 --> 00:13:00,640
Speaker 1: you could tax inactivity with Obamacare, which now we all see,

224
00:13:00,679 --> 00:13:02,920
Speaker 1: I might add, but do you see what the policies

225
00:13:02,960 --> 00:13:06,360
Speaker 1: would be without the subsidies for some family of four

226
00:13:06,440 --> 00:13:11,959
Speaker 1: policies for healthcare forty fifty grand a year, forty to

227
00:13:12,000 --> 00:13:15,880
Speaker 1: fifty thousand dollars a year for insurance, not for health care,

228
00:13:16,160 --> 00:13:20,560
Speaker 1: for insurance, for health care. This is what Obamacare half

229
00:13:20,640 --> 00:13:25,200
Speaker 1: brought America madness. Thank you Supreme Court. Thank you John Roberts.

230
00:13:25,280 --> 00:13:29,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's totally broken, and the whole concept of paying

231
00:13:29,080 --> 00:13:35,640
Speaker 3: for insurance is predicated on I hate the insurance industry

232
00:13:35,679 --> 00:13:38,480
Speaker 3: in general. Apologies to all the insurance agents out there.

233
00:13:38,720 --> 00:13:40,800
Speaker 3: It's the only thing you're forced to buy that you

234
00:13:40,880 --> 00:13:44,400
Speaker 3: hope you never use in all seriousness, like right, the

235
00:13:44,400 --> 00:13:47,160
Speaker 3: amount that you spend and I spend on car insurance

236
00:13:47,160 --> 00:13:50,320
Speaker 3: and health insurance and home insurance and everything else, and

237
00:13:50,360 --> 00:13:53,280
Speaker 3: the vast majority of people will never use it, which

238
00:13:53,320 --> 00:13:56,520
Speaker 3: is why the industry exists at all. It drives me insane.

239
00:13:56,600 --> 00:13:58,920
Speaker 1: I don't know why. I know it's nowhere near groundhog Day,

240
00:13:58,960 --> 00:14:02,120
Speaker 1: but now I'm thinking of ed Ryerson from groundhog Day.

241
00:14:02,120 --> 00:14:04,360
Speaker 1: Remember the insurance salesman that he meets on the street.

242
00:14:04,640 --> 00:14:07,520
Speaker 1: That guy is a character actor, does a great business.

243
00:14:07,559 --> 00:14:10,240
Speaker 1: I don't begrudge the insurance business. How many times can

244
00:14:10,280 --> 00:14:13,200
Speaker 1: you get paid for something that that people never use?

245
00:14:13,960 --> 00:14:16,320
Speaker 1: I mean, that's the entire foundation of the insurance. But

246
00:14:17,200 --> 00:14:21,520
Speaker 1: our medical system is broken because there is no actual

247
00:14:21,560 --> 00:14:24,440
Speaker 1: transparency on cost. If I could change one thing and

248
00:14:24,520 --> 00:14:26,760
Speaker 1: just wave a magic wand it would be that everybody

249
00:14:26,800 --> 00:14:29,880
Speaker 1: knows what insurance costs. I mean health is also an

250
00:14:29,920 --> 00:14:32,240
Speaker 1: active We need to think of health as an active

251
00:14:32,280 --> 00:14:36,080
Speaker 1: process and not something like where your car breaks down,

252
00:14:36,080 --> 00:14:37,640
Speaker 1: you go to get it fixed. You actually have to

253
00:14:37,680 --> 00:14:41,760
Speaker 1: be thinking about and taking care of your health actively

254
00:14:41,960 --> 00:14:45,200
Speaker 1: as you go. But that's a that's a whole other conversation.

255
00:14:46,400 --> 00:14:48,320
Speaker 1: So maybe RFK Junior can come on the show we'll

256
00:14:48,320 --> 00:14:52,880
Speaker 1: talk more about that. Preborn is a fantastic organization and

257
00:14:52,880 --> 00:14:55,320
Speaker 1: one that I'm honored to partner with here on this show,

258
00:14:55,480 --> 00:14:58,480
Speaker 1: and they have two goals. The first is to save

259
00:14:58,840 --> 00:15:02,560
Speaker 1: unborn babies from the tragedy of abortion, and the second

260
00:15:02,640 --> 00:15:05,680
Speaker 1: is to help pregnant women carrying those unborn babies in

261
00:15:05,800 --> 00:15:08,600
Speaker 1: helping them make the decision for life and bringing their

262
00:15:08,600 --> 00:15:11,440
Speaker 1: babies into this world. This past year alone, Preborn saved

263
00:15:11,440 --> 00:15:15,760
Speaker 1: the lives of sixty seven thousand unborn children. When a

264
00:15:15,760 --> 00:15:18,840
Speaker 1: woman walks into one of Preborn's network clinics, she's welcomed

265
00:15:18,840 --> 00:15:21,880
Speaker 1: with open arms. She's introduced to her baby through an ultrasound,

266
00:15:22,400 --> 00:15:24,840
Speaker 1: and for the first time she sees life not lost,

267
00:15:25,200 --> 00:15:28,480
Speaker 1: and she's offered hope filled choices. When she chooses life,

268
00:15:28,880 --> 00:15:31,840
Speaker 1: Preborn continues walking with her for up to two years

269
00:15:32,240 --> 00:15:35,920
Speaker 1: after the baby's born, providing maternity clothes, diapers, counseling, so

270
00:15:36,040 --> 00:15:39,560
Speaker 1: much more. They are there to help when she chooses life.

271
00:15:39,560 --> 00:15:42,040
Speaker 1: Preborn continues walking with her for up to two years.

272
00:15:42,160 --> 00:15:44,320
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, I just said that. As you think about

273
00:15:44,320 --> 00:15:49,440
Speaker 1: your year ending gift for charitable purposes, consider the greatest

00:16:12,440 --> 00:16:15,840
Speaker 3: You don't know what you don't know, right, but you

281
00:16:15,920 --> 00:16:19,960
Speaker 3: could on the with playing Buck podcast for David what

282
00:16:20,000 --> 00:16:21,200
Speaker 3: you got for us?

283
00:16:21,800 --> 00:16:25,440
Speaker 4: Hey guys, faith so listener, Yeah, I know. Well you're

284
00:16:25,440 --> 00:16:28,320
Speaker 4: talking about the results, and I had not heard anything

285
00:16:28,320 --> 00:16:33,520
Speaker 4: about that ag race where the guy was threatening violence

286
00:16:33,560 --> 00:16:35,240
Speaker 4: against his opponent and family.

287
00:16:36,360 --> 00:16:38,760
Speaker 5: And to me, you know, the the other ones, the.

288
00:16:39,200 --> 00:16:41,480
Speaker 3: Mayor and the two governor races, those are.

289
00:16:41,320 --> 00:16:47,600
Speaker 4: Disappointing but not surprising. But if Democrats elect this.

290
00:16:47,520 --> 00:16:48,480
Speaker 1: Guy, yeah, thank you.

291
00:16:48,720 --> 00:16:50,840
Speaker 3: Sorry, we're coming up on a break, I'll answer the question,

292
00:16:50,960 --> 00:16:53,200
Speaker 3: Yes they did, and we'll talk about that. So I'm

293
00:16:53,200 --> 00:16:55,640
Speaker 3: at the bottom of the hour. Jay Jones, who wished

294
00:16:55,680 --> 00:16:59,680
Speaker 3: death on his political opponents h and was proven to

295
00:16:59,800 --> 00:17:04,240
Speaker 3: have and so via text messages, one comfortably re elect

296
00:17:04,400 --> 00:17:08,400
Speaker 3: or one election because we had Jason miars On who

297
00:17:08,600 --> 00:17:12,640
Speaker 3: was the sitting Attorney general and Jay Jones beat him

298
00:17:12,680 --> 00:17:16,600
Speaker 3: by six points, so it didn't even end up buck

299
00:17:16,920 --> 00:17:20,680
Speaker 3: that close of an election in Virginia despite what that

300
00:17:21,280 --> 00:17:21,920
Speaker 3: guy said.

301
00:17:22,600 --> 00:17:26,160
Speaker 1: We will get into some of the troubling data there,

302
00:17:26,200 --> 00:17:29,560
Speaker 1: and also what it says about the Democrat Party that

303
00:17:29,600 --> 00:17:31,800
Speaker 1: we are dealing with, my friends, and what the voters

304
00:17:31,800 --> 00:17:36,360
Speaker 1: of the Democrat Party are willing to countenance, maybe even celebrate.

305
00:17:36,560 --> 00:17:40,040
Speaker 1: So we shall dive into all of that coming up here.

306
00:17:40,080 --> 00:17:42,760
Speaker 1: And then our friend Ryan Gerdusky, our numbers guy, with

307
00:17:42,800 --> 00:17:45,560
Speaker 1: some of the most interesting insights on that third hour,

308
00:17:45,600 --> 00:17:46,000
Speaker 1: coming up.

309
00:17:46,320 --> 00:17:48,120

Speaker 3: Travis buck Sexton Show. Appreciate all of you hanging out

325
00:18:45,880 --> 00:18:48,840
Speaker 3: with us as we are rolling through the second hour

326
00:18:49,000 --> 00:18:53,320
Speaker 3: of the program reacting to the election results in Virginia,

327
00:18:53,440 --> 00:18:56,320
Speaker 3: in New Jersey and in New York City. And we

328
00:18:56,359 --> 00:18:58,320
Speaker 3: had a caller as we went to break there Buck

329
00:18:58,760 --> 00:19:01,000
Speaker 3: talking about the jag Own situation.

330
00:19:01,280 --> 00:19:04,040
Speaker 1: He was the.

331
00:19:03,040 --> 00:19:07,639
Speaker 3: Candidate for Attorney general in Virginia who it was revealed,

332
00:19:07,840 --> 00:19:11,280
Speaker 3: had said awful things about his political opponents, that he

333
00:19:11,359 --> 00:19:15,240
Speaker 3: wanted his kids to die, the political opponents of his kids,

334
00:19:15,240 --> 00:19:20,400
Speaker 3: that he would piss on their graves, and he won,

335
00:19:21,200 --> 00:19:26,000
Speaker 3: and he won fifty three basically to forty seven. And

336
00:19:26,800 --> 00:19:29,520
Speaker 3: I believe we have the data here. I was going

337
00:19:29,560 --> 00:19:32,600
Speaker 3: to play it for us. Buck Cut twenty two. Just

338
00:19:32,760 --> 00:19:37,639
Speaker 3: forty six percent of Virginia voters thought saying that you

339
00:19:37,720 --> 00:19:40,840
Speaker 3: wanted your kid the kids of your political opponents to

340
00:19:40,920 --> 00:19:43,879
Speaker 3: be killed and you would piss on their graves if

341
00:19:43,920 --> 00:19:48,880
Speaker 3: it happened, was disqualifying. Saunder Smith Fox News twenty two.

342
00:19:49,280 --> 00:19:51,240
Speaker 6: If you look at some of the some of the

343
00:19:51,320 --> 00:19:54,600
Speaker 6: questions over the j. Jones texts and that scandal from

344
00:19:54,680 --> 00:19:56,879
Speaker 6: text back to twenty twenty two, and how this is

345
00:19:56,920 --> 00:20:00,680
Speaker 6: affecting the attorney general's race, there possibility of a split ticket.

346
00:20:01,440 --> 00:20:02,560
Speaker 1: We ask voters what.

347
00:20:02,520 --> 00:20:07,560
Speaker 6: Best describes their opinion of those leaked techs. Almost has

348
00:20:07,600 --> 00:20:10,840
Speaker 6: found them to be disqualifying. About one in four said

349
00:20:10,840 --> 00:20:13,560
Speaker 6: they were concerning, but then another one and four said

350
00:20:13,760 --> 00:20:16,960
Speaker 6: they weren't concerned or they hadn't heard enough about it.

351
00:20:18,520 --> 00:20:22,359
Speaker 3: So Buck, to me, this is the worst part of

352
00:20:22,400 --> 00:20:26,640
Speaker 3: the election results because I'm not surprised. We talked about

353
00:20:26,640 --> 00:20:29,800
Speaker 3: the fact that New Jersey is a blue state, it

354
00:20:29,840 --> 00:20:32,960
Speaker 3: occasionally elects Republicans most of the time it does not,

355
00:20:33,880 --> 00:20:36,560
Speaker 3: and so the fact that Cheryl won not a huge surprise,

356
00:20:36,680 --> 00:20:40,840
Speaker 3: the fact that Virginia flipped back Virginia. Almost always the

357
00:20:40,880 --> 00:20:44,879
Speaker 3: winning party is the opposition to who the president is.

358
00:20:46,600 --> 00:20:50,199
Speaker 3: But this thing, I thought that Jason Miarz, who we

359
00:20:50,240 --> 00:20:53,639
Speaker 3: had on the program, I thought he would win because

360
00:20:53,800 --> 00:20:57,240
Speaker 3: if you're the chief law enforcement officer of a state,

361
00:20:57,920 --> 00:21:01,119
Speaker 3: I'm not sure exactly what the standard a behavior should be,

362
00:21:01,600 --> 00:21:06,320
Speaker 3: but wishing that the kids of your political opponents were murdered,

363
00:21:06,720 --> 00:21:09,360
Speaker 3: and that if it happened, you would piss on their graves,

364
00:21:09,680 --> 00:21:12,119
Speaker 3: and Matt having been written out on being in text,

365
00:21:12,760 --> 00:21:14,919
Speaker 3: it would be disqualifying to me. I'd be like, I

366
00:21:14,920 --> 00:21:17,960
Speaker 3: don't know that I can trust the judgment of this guy.

367
00:21:18,560 --> 00:21:19,520
Speaker 3: Virginia didn't care.

368
00:21:21,160 --> 00:21:28,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think that. Look, this is disconcerting because you

369
00:21:28,240 --> 00:21:31,760
Speaker 1: also would like to think. I mean, I don't want

370
00:21:31,760 --> 00:21:34,720
Speaker 1: to get too deep into this, but the country's been

371
00:21:34,760 --> 00:21:38,720
Speaker 1: through a lot. The country's been through a lot of

372
00:21:39,800 --> 00:21:42,320
Speaker 1: stuff that we would never want to see again, and

373
00:21:42,359 --> 00:21:47,280
Speaker 1: so I would hope that the general electorate. I'm not

374
00:21:47,280 --> 00:21:51,040
Speaker 1: talking about lunatics on Blue Sky or Blue Star or whatever,

375
00:21:51,119 --> 00:21:55,800
Speaker 1: you know, the left wing twitter. I would hope that

376
00:21:55,840 --> 00:22:01,400
Speaker 1: normal Americans would really have a problem with the kind

377
00:22:01,440 --> 00:22:04,320
Speaker 1: of stuff that this guy, who is supposed to be

378
00:22:04,560 --> 00:22:10,960
Speaker 1: a senior law enforcement officer, yes, was saying, and the

379
00:22:11,080 --> 00:22:13,520
Speaker 1: fact that they don't have a problem with it at

380
00:22:13,560 --> 00:22:19,000
Speaker 1: all is important for everyone to understand the mentality and

381
00:22:19,040 --> 00:22:23,000
Speaker 1: what we're opposing here and what we're dealing with. That's

382
00:22:23,400 --> 00:22:26,640
Speaker 1: where this is. You need to recognize that while they're

383
00:22:26,680 --> 00:22:30,119
Speaker 1: claiming no kings, and while they're saying Trump is so

384
00:22:30,240 --> 00:22:34,240
Speaker 1: coarse and Trump is so awful on the other side

385
00:22:34,280 --> 00:22:40,440
Speaker 1: of things, on the other side of things, they will

386
00:22:40,480 --> 00:22:44,639
Speaker 1: allow someone to become a senior law enforcement officer who

387
00:22:45,040 --> 00:22:48,680
Speaker 1: does this right, so they don't actually have any standards.

388
00:22:48,680 --> 00:22:53,080
Speaker 1: Play is the reality. There's not any moral or ethical clarity.

389
00:22:53,680 --> 00:22:57,160
Speaker 1: It's we want what we want, We support our team

390
00:22:57,280 --> 00:22:59,800
Speaker 1: no matter what, and we're going to say whatever we

391
00:22:59,800 --> 00:23:03,359
Speaker 1: want about your team, nomber how absurd, crazy, defamatory, or

392
00:23:03,359 --> 00:23:06,879
Speaker 1: destructive it is. And we're only going to talk about

393
00:23:06,880 --> 00:23:09,760
Speaker 1: tamping down political violence when our side, the left, actually

394
00:23:09,760 --> 00:23:11,359
Speaker 1: does it, which as we know, the left is the

395
00:23:11,359 --> 00:23:14,680
Speaker 1: one that has the problem with political violence. That is reality.

396
00:23:15,080 --> 00:23:16,960
Speaker 1: They're only going to say, maybe we should calm both

397
00:23:17,000 --> 00:23:20,240
Speaker 1: sides down after their side does something horrible and they

398
00:23:20,320 --> 00:23:24,119
Speaker 1: take no ownership for the climate, the temperature, any of

399
00:23:24,160 --> 00:23:24,639
Speaker 1: that stuff.

400
00:23:26,240 --> 00:23:29,160
Speaker 3: And it speaks to the fact that all that mattered

401
00:23:29,840 --> 00:23:33,040
Speaker 3: was that Jay Jones was a Democrat. And I mean,

402
00:23:33,080 --> 00:23:35,040
Speaker 3: this makes me like kind of want to puke a

403
00:23:35,080 --> 00:23:37,119
Speaker 3: little bit. But what do you think j Jones said

404
00:23:37,800 --> 00:23:40,119
Speaker 3: after he was elected. This is the guy who wanted

405
00:23:40,440 --> 00:23:42,960
Speaker 3: the kids of his political opponents murdered, said he would

406
00:23:42,960 --> 00:23:45,720
Speaker 3: piss on their graves. Here's what he said in his

407
00:23:46,320 --> 00:23:48,000
Speaker 3: acceptance speech Cut twenty one.

408
00:23:48,320 --> 00:23:51,560
Speaker 5: I will defend the rights of every single Virginian. I

409
00:23:51,600 --> 00:23:55,200
Speaker 5: will protect our jobs, our healthcare, and our economy from

410
00:23:55,240 --> 00:23:58,720
Speaker 5: Donald Trump's attacks. I will always work to protect a

411
00:23:58,760 --> 00:24:03,520
Speaker 5: woman's right to an abortion. And here in Virginia, Donald Trump,

412
00:24:03,800 --> 00:24:07,280
Speaker 5: MAGA and those corporate special interests believe that Virginia's government

413
00:24:07,280 --> 00:24:09,680
Speaker 5: should be beholden to them. But tonight we send a

414
00:24:09,720 --> 00:24:12,720
Speaker 5: loud message to them into every single person across this country.

415
00:24:13,000 --> 00:24:14,479
Speaker 1: Virginia belongs to the people.

416
00:24:14,800 --> 00:24:17,400
Speaker 5: Together, we stand firm against the people who would take

417
00:24:17,480 --> 00:24:20,280
Speaker 5: us backward. We will use tonight as a springboard to

418
00:24:20,400 --> 00:24:22,960
Speaker 5: reject the politics of divisiveness and division.

419
00:24:24,600 --> 00:24:25,480
Speaker 3: You wanted to.

420
00:24:25,440 --> 00:24:27,520
Speaker 1: Kill the kids of your opponents.

421
00:24:28,480 --> 00:24:31,520
Speaker 3: How in the world in your acceptance speech are you

422
00:24:31,720 --> 00:24:33,720
Speaker 3: saying you're fighting.

423
00:24:33,320 --> 00:24:36,119
Speaker 1: Back against the politics of division.

424
00:24:37,400 --> 00:24:42,240
Speaker 3: Again, I look at some of this and I just say,

425
00:24:42,520 --> 00:24:47,439
Speaker 3: in many respects, this is you know, if I lived

426
00:24:47,640 --> 00:24:53,520
Speaker 3: in a state that was regularly electing Democrats, I don't

427
00:24:53,520 --> 00:24:56,919
Speaker 3: think I could live in that state anymore. And I

428
00:24:57,000 --> 00:24:59,959
Speaker 3: understand because forty percent of people are going to vote

429
00:25:00,080 --> 00:25:03,960
Speaker 3: the other way in any state, right so California sixty forty,

430
00:25:04,960 --> 00:25:07,720
Speaker 3: you know, Democrat, and my state is going to be

431
00:25:07,720 --> 00:25:10,920
Speaker 3: pretty comfortably sixty forty Republican in Tennessee for the rest

432
00:25:10,920 --> 00:25:13,399
Speaker 3: of my life. I don't think I could live in

433
00:25:13,440 --> 00:25:17,400
Speaker 3: a state that would elect someone like Jay Jones. I'm

434
00:25:17,440 --> 00:25:19,840
Speaker 3: just being honest with you. If you can elect someone

435
00:25:20,000 --> 00:25:23,440
Speaker 3: as the chief law enforcement officer of your state that

436
00:25:23,600 --> 00:25:26,680
Speaker 3: said he wants to see the kids of a political

437
00:25:26,720 --> 00:25:29,960
Speaker 3: opponent murdered and that if it happened, he would piss

438
00:25:30,000 --> 00:25:33,600
Speaker 3: on their graves, how can you feel comfortable living in

439
00:25:33,640 --> 00:25:35,399
Speaker 3: that state? And I understand a lot of you in

440
00:25:35,400 --> 00:25:38,320
Speaker 3: Southwest Virginia are listening to us right now, very different

441
00:25:38,880 --> 00:25:42,119
Speaker 3: vibe than what happens in northern Virginia. But this guy's

442
00:25:42,160 --> 00:25:45,760
Speaker 3: the chief law enforcement officer of your state. Now, how

443
00:25:45,800 --> 00:25:49,080
Speaker 3: can you trust any decision that he makes? And how

444
00:25:49,080 --> 00:25:52,040
Speaker 3: can you trust any decision that your fellow neighbors in

445
00:25:52,119 --> 00:25:57,440
Speaker 3: Virginia have made. Again, I don't think I could live

446
00:25:57,480 --> 00:25:58,920
Speaker 3: in a blue state right now.

447
00:25:59,240 --> 00:26:01,840
Speaker 1: And also all the people at these No Kings protests

448
00:26:01,880 --> 00:26:06,000
Speaker 1: as we were discussing, who were always whining on about

449
00:26:06,240 --> 00:26:10,280
Speaker 1: civility and decency and how Trump is so coarse and

450
00:26:10,320 --> 00:26:13,560
Speaker 1: Trump goes too far and all this stuff. We're the

451
00:26:13,560 --> 00:26:18,560
Speaker 1: ones who had our president and presidential candidate shot through

452
00:26:18,560 --> 00:26:20,479
Speaker 1: the year and almost shot again. We're the ones who

453
00:26:20,520 --> 00:26:26,280
Speaker 1: are still processing the horrendous grief of losing our friend

454
00:26:26,560 --> 00:26:31,320
Speaker 1: and incredible political force, Charlie Kirk to an assassin's bullet.

455
00:26:31,560 --> 00:26:35,840
Speaker 1: We're the ones that are having to always say, Okay,

456
00:26:36,400 --> 00:26:38,719
Speaker 1: I know there's a lot of crazies on your side,

457
00:26:38,760 --> 00:26:40,960
Speaker 1: but for the betterment of the country, we're going to

458
00:26:41,000 --> 00:26:44,960
Speaker 1: try to move forward and stay calm. And then they

459
00:26:44,960 --> 00:26:49,240
Speaker 1: have something like this, yeah, where it would be very clear.

460
00:26:49,280 --> 00:26:51,280
Speaker 1: I mean, no one's saying, you know, it's not like

461
00:26:51,920 --> 00:26:54,000
Speaker 1: this is a presidential election where you say, well, but

462
00:26:54,080 --> 00:26:56,440
Speaker 1: I'll do anything to make sure that abortion stays legal

463
00:26:56,520 --> 00:26:58,840
Speaker 1: nationally or whatever it is. This is for the attorney

464
00:26:58,880 --> 00:27:01,680
Speaker 1: general of a state, and you're really gonna put forward

465
00:27:01,720 --> 00:27:04,000
Speaker 1: this guy. Look the other thing we haven't even mentioned.

466
00:27:04,040 --> 00:27:08,880
Speaker 1: Alvin Bragg in New York City got re elected. Well,

467
00:27:08,920 --> 00:27:09,680
Speaker 1: of course.

468
00:27:10,920 --> 00:27:13,000
Speaker 3: That doesn't I mean, that doesn't surprise me at all.

469
00:27:13,080 --> 00:27:17,520
Speaker 3: I mean, Letitia James, if she is able, will get

470
00:27:17,560 --> 00:27:20,160
Speaker 3: elected for the rest of her life or as long

471
00:27:20,200 --> 00:27:22,959
Speaker 3: as people are willing to are able to claim that

472
00:27:22,960 --> 00:27:26,879
Speaker 3: Trump is Hitler and everything else. But Virginia, this surprised me.

473
00:27:27,280 --> 00:27:30,439
Speaker 3: This was the only result that I saw, and I thought, wow,

474
00:27:31,040 --> 00:27:38,080
Speaker 3: because again New Jersey governor, Virginia governor. Democrats traditionally win,

475
00:27:38,160 --> 00:27:40,720
Speaker 3: they're favored. They didn't vote for Trump in those states.

476
00:27:41,560 --> 00:27:45,119
Speaker 3: But for the attorney general to have those techs, to

477
00:27:45,200 --> 00:27:48,239
Speaker 3: have it come out, and for him to win not

478
00:27:48,280 --> 00:27:50,119
Speaker 3: only win buck but win by I think six and

479
00:27:50,200 --> 00:27:54,399
Speaker 3: a half points, which means that it really wasn't that close,

480
00:27:54,520 --> 00:27:57,400
Speaker 3: and that not even very many people ticket split, even

481
00:27:57,400 --> 00:28:00,959
Speaker 3: if you were a Democrat supporter did and say, Okay,

482
00:28:01,000 --> 00:28:04,639
Speaker 3: you know what, I'll vote span Berger for governor. But

483
00:28:04,760 --> 00:28:08,879
Speaker 3: I'm gonna draw the line at wanting my kids, wanting

484
00:28:08,920 --> 00:28:13,120
Speaker 3: the kids of political opponents murdered. Democrats were just like, Nope,

485
00:28:13,560 --> 00:28:15,879
Speaker 3: I'm sticking with Jay Jones. And then for him to

486
00:28:15,920 --> 00:28:18,679
Speaker 3: come out and say in his reelection or his election

487
00:28:18,800 --> 00:28:23,560
Speaker 3: speech night victory, we got to work on divisiveness. We're

488
00:28:23,600 --> 00:28:25,160
Speaker 3: gonna tamp down divisiveness.

489
00:28:25,359 --> 00:28:30,320
Speaker 1: Like what so many of these people that's spinning in

490
00:28:30,359 --> 00:28:33,040
Speaker 1: the face of everyone who's paying attention. That's what that is,

491
00:28:33,160 --> 00:28:36,320
Speaker 1: that's meant to be. That's like Gavin Newsom saying he

492
00:28:36,359 --> 00:28:40,000
Speaker 1: hates politicians who lie. I just yes, that's exactly what

493
00:28:40,040 --> 00:28:44,360
Speaker 1: that is. But it also makes me hate politicians. The

494
00:28:44,440 --> 00:28:48,160
Speaker 1: more time I spend listening to some of these morons talk,

495
00:28:49,360 --> 00:28:52,600
Speaker 1: the more time I spend thinking we need way better politicians.

496
00:28:53,840 --> 00:28:56,240
Speaker 1: We are not being led by the best and brightest

497
00:28:56,280 --> 00:29:00,960
Speaker 1: among us candidly. And so look, I can be angry

498
00:29:01,040 --> 00:29:03,520
Speaker 1: at voters, and I am because they put Jay Jones

499
00:29:03,560 --> 00:29:10,240
Speaker 1: in office. But Jay Jones is a moron, violent, incompetent,

500
00:29:10,880 --> 00:29:13,760
Speaker 1: and he was able to get elected. And you just

501
00:29:13,760 --> 00:29:16,080
Speaker 1: said buck, did you listen. I'm like spamburger, Mickey Cheryl.

502
00:29:16,160 --> 00:29:23,480
Speaker 1: These are the most bland, uninteresting, not particularly inspiring candidates

503
00:29:23,520 --> 00:29:26,400
Speaker 1: that are on the planet. And yet they're out there,

504
00:29:26,440 --> 00:29:29,040
Speaker 1: like I just they're just a trojan They're just a

505
00:29:29,080 --> 00:29:31,880
Speaker 1: trojan horse for the left wing agenda, which is exactly

506
00:29:32,080 --> 00:29:34,680
Speaker 1: what you and I and so many others said was

507
00:29:34,720 --> 00:29:36,920
Speaker 1: going to be true of Biden in twenty twenty. Oh,

508
00:29:37,040 --> 00:29:40,320
Speaker 1: good old Joe. You know, he's a moderate, he's a

509
00:29:40,360 --> 00:29:42,720
Speaker 1: guy you can trust, he's a union guy. All lies,

510
00:29:43,080 --> 00:29:45,520
Speaker 1: all lies. The White House was putting out stuff about

511
00:29:45,520 --> 00:29:48,800
Speaker 1: transgender surgery for miners being critical care. The White House

512
00:29:48,880 --> 00:29:51,000
Speaker 1: was doing that under Joe Biden. Okay, we need to

513
00:29:51,000 --> 00:29:53,800
Speaker 1: have twelve year olds on hormone therapy asap because the

514
00:29:53,880 --> 00:29:57,000
Speaker 1: left is insane. You're gonna get the same thing with

515
00:29:57,080 --> 00:30:00,720
Speaker 1: these women who you know, Mikey Cheryl apparently her whole

516
00:30:00,720 --> 00:30:04,560
Speaker 1: campaign is like I went to the Naval Academy. Okay, yeah,

517
00:30:05,160 --> 00:30:07,680
Speaker 1: you know, thirty year that's nice, but that was it

518
00:30:07,800 --> 00:30:13,040
Speaker 1: from what I understand. And Alison Spamberger Abigail Allison whatever

519
00:30:13,040 --> 00:30:17,480
Speaker 1: and his spam Burger. She was just I'm not Trump,

520
00:30:17,600 --> 00:30:21,360
Speaker 1: no Kings, and unfortunately that was enough. With all of

521
00:30:21,400 --> 00:30:27,640
Speaker 1: the brainless, brainless automatons that go along with that stuff,

522
00:30:28,080 --> 00:30:28,520
Speaker 1: you be.

523
00:30:28,440 --> 00:30:31,560
Speaker 3: Thinking if you still lived in New York City, you know,

524
00:30:31,600 --> 00:30:33,800
Speaker 3: I was saying earlier, I couldn't live Like, if you

525
00:30:33,880 --> 00:30:37,640
Speaker 3: were still living in New York City, would you I

526
00:30:37,680 --> 00:30:40,560
Speaker 3: know you made the decision to move to Miami, Yeah,

527
00:30:40,800 --> 00:30:42,760
Speaker 3: because you saw this coming. But do you think if

528
00:30:42,760 --> 00:30:44,680
Speaker 3: you were waking up in New York City this morning

529
00:30:44,760 --> 00:30:47,440
Speaker 3: you would be would it be your tipping point in

530
00:30:47,520 --> 00:30:50,200
Speaker 3: some way if you had managed to stay?

531
00:30:54,000 --> 00:30:58,000
Speaker 1: That's interesting. I think if you were willing to put

532
00:30:58,080 --> 00:31:00,160
Speaker 1: up with what happened after COVID, you're willing to see

533
00:31:00,200 --> 00:31:01,880
Speaker 1: how it goes, willing to roll the dice with this.

534
00:31:02,040 --> 00:31:04,840
Speaker 1: I don't expect they'll be a big outflow of people.

535
00:31:05,640 --> 00:31:10,480
Speaker 1: I don't expect that. So I just I look at this.

536
00:31:10,520 --> 00:31:12,040
Speaker 1: I mean when I see the Jay Jones, when I

537
00:31:12,080 --> 00:31:15,080
Speaker 1: see them, Mo'm donnie thing. I don't think I could

538
00:31:15,120 --> 00:31:17,680
Speaker 1: live in a place where people would make decisions like

539
00:31:17,720 --> 00:31:20,520
Speaker 1: these because I would just walk around all the time, like,

540
00:31:20,600 --> 00:31:26,520
Speaker 1: how can I trust anything here? Because I mean to

541
00:31:26,680 --> 00:31:31,440
Speaker 1: vote for someone who wanted to see his political opponent's

542
00:31:31,520 --> 00:31:34,640
Speaker 1: kids murdered? Is so far?

543
00:31:34,680 --> 00:31:37,719
Speaker 3: People's like, well Trump said some salacious that. Yeah, he

544
00:31:37,760 --> 00:31:41,840
Speaker 3: talked about how to grab chicks. Okay, Like that's so

545
00:31:42,200 --> 00:31:46,840
Speaker 3: that's ridiculous, but it's clear like locker room talk ridiculousness.

546
00:31:46,840 --> 00:31:51,040
Speaker 3: It's trump right, like this is hey, I'm on a

547
00:31:51,080 --> 00:31:53,320
Speaker 3: text man, he's telling what he thinks is a joke,

548
00:31:53,400 --> 00:31:57,120
Speaker 3: trying to make somebody laugh. This is on a text message.

549
00:31:57,200 --> 00:31:59,400
Speaker 3: And the woman he was texting with Buck was like,

550
00:31:59,680 --> 00:32:02,440
Speaker 3: you don't really mean that, like you're kind of getting

551
00:32:02,480 --> 00:32:05,320
Speaker 3: carried away, and he's like, no, I really mean it,

552
00:32:06,480 --> 00:32:08,160
Speaker 3: and I would miss on their graves like.

553
00:32:08,200 --> 00:32:09,320
Speaker 1: She gave him an off.

554
00:32:09,240 --> 00:32:12,280
Speaker 3: Ramp of like, hey, you just got carried away a

555
00:32:12,280 --> 00:32:14,840
Speaker 3: little bit on a text she realized you're what you

556
00:32:14,880 --> 00:32:17,440
Speaker 3: said is so shameful, like you can't actually, let's give

557
00:32:17,440 --> 00:32:20,520
Speaker 3: you the opportunity to not be a total, you know,

558
00:32:20,680 --> 00:32:21,560
Speaker 3: demonic freak.

559
00:32:21,920 --> 00:32:23,959
Speaker 1: And he decided to double down on it. And now

560
00:32:24,000 --> 00:32:26,440
Speaker 1: he's going to be determining who goes to prison correct

561
00:32:26,440 --> 00:32:28,600
Speaker 1: and who's prosecuted in the state of Virginia. Think about

562
00:32:28,640 --> 00:32:29,120
Speaker 1: that now.

563
00:32:29,440 --> 00:32:32,560
Speaker 3: Arguably it's the most important job in many ways in

564
00:32:32,600 --> 00:32:35,680
Speaker 3: the state of Virginia, and certainly it's one where judgment

565
00:32:35,720 --> 00:32:39,040
Speaker 3: matters more than most because everything you do is look

566
00:32:39,080 --> 00:32:42,120
Speaker 3: at cases and determine what are the cases that should

567
00:32:42,160 --> 00:32:44,440
Speaker 3: be brought and Jason Mirs, by the way, was doing

568
00:32:44,480 --> 00:32:48,320
Speaker 3: a really good job as the sitting Attorney General. So

569
00:32:48,440 --> 00:32:50,400
Speaker 3: it's not only that he got elected, it's that he

570
00:32:50,600 --> 00:32:53,800
Speaker 3: beat an incumbent that was running for reelection having done

571
00:32:53,800 --> 00:32:56,040
Speaker 3: a good job. We'll take some of your calls, Ryan

572
00:32:56,120 --> 00:32:57,720
Speaker 3: or Dusky. Our buddy's going to join us the top

573
00:32:57,720 --> 00:32:59,400
Speaker 3: of the third hour, give you a little bit of

574
00:32:59,440 --> 00:33:01,680
Speaker 3: a data nonalysis of what he saw in the numbers.

575
00:33:01,720 --> 00:33:05,160
Speaker 3: In the meantime, The Tunnel the Towers Foundation honors America's

576
00:33:05,160 --> 00:33:08,400
Speaker 3: heroes and their families. When tragedy strikes. In the hours

577
00:33:08,800 --> 00:33:11,560
Speaker 3: after Manhattan was attacked on nine to eleven, the Tunnel

578
00:33:11,600 --> 00:33:14,360
Speaker 3: the Towers Foundation was created to help the families that

579
00:33:14,440 --> 00:33:18,280
Speaker 3: lost loved ones in uniform that day, running towards destruction,

580
00:33:18,440 --> 00:33:21,600
Speaker 3: not away from it. Since then, Tunnel Towers Foundation has

581
00:33:21,600 --> 00:33:23,800
Speaker 3: done all they can to help families that have lost

582
00:33:23,880 --> 00:33:26,680
Speaker 3: a hero in the line of duty. Your generosity has

583
00:33:26,720 --> 00:33:30,000
Speaker 3: provided mortgage free homes to thousands of families worried about

584
00:33:30,000 --> 00:33:33,160
Speaker 3: the roofs over their head. That same generosity has helped

585
00:33:33,160 --> 00:33:37,280
Speaker 3: severely injured combat veterans return home to live in smart

586
00:33:37,280 --> 00:33:39,240
Speaker 3: homes specially adapted to their needs.

587
00:33:39,400 --> 00:33:39,840
Speaker 1: The Tunnel.

588
00:33:39,880 --> 00:33:43,000
Speaker 3: The Towers Foundation makes this pledge, we will never forget.

589
00:33:43,120 --> 00:33:46,320
Speaker 3: So many of us echo that same sentiment. More heroes

590
00:33:46,360 --> 00:33:49,360
Speaker 3: are waiting and in need of assistants honor their sacrifices.

591
00:33:49,440 --> 00:33:52,280
Speaker 3: Now join us in donating eleven dollars a month to

Speaker 3: Wied about their ages. I mean you can imagine it

609
00:34:38,200 --> 00:34:40,520
Speaker 3: was hard to have records of how old people were

610
00:34:40,560 --> 00:34:42,319
Speaker 3: and some of them might not have even known. But yeah,

611

616
00:34:56,239 --> 00:35:01,200
Speaker 4: Hey. Earlier y'all said that the Mundomie voters would learn

617
00:35:01,239 --> 00:35:05,879
Speaker 4: their lesson as time went on, and I heartily disagree

618
00:35:05,920 --> 00:35:11,680
Speaker 4: with you. Uh, that takes ruthless, unbiased self analysis, and

619
00:35:12,200 --> 00:35:14,960
Speaker 4: the people aren't able to do that. You know, you've

620
00:35:14,960 --> 00:35:16,920
Speaker 4: got to be honest with yourself and be willing to

621
00:35:17,280 --> 00:35:20,360
Speaker 4: admit that your ideas are wrong and you made a mistake.

622
00:35:20,920 --> 00:35:22,920
Speaker 4: And they won't do that. And so instead of that,

623
00:35:23,120 --> 00:35:25,360
Speaker 4: as time goes along, they're going to blame Trump, and

624
00:35:25,400 --> 00:35:27,359
Speaker 4: the worst it gets, they're going to blame Trump more

625
00:35:27,400 --> 00:35:29,799
Speaker 4: and more and more, and that's all they're going to be.

626
00:35:30,600 --> 00:35:33,080
Speaker 3: I thank you for the call. I don't remember specifically saying.

627
00:35:33,800 --> 00:35:36,560
Speaker 3: I think the question was will they ever self analyze

628
00:35:36,680 --> 00:35:39,040
Speaker 3: on many of these things? I definitely agree with you,

629
00:35:39,080 --> 00:35:42,200
Speaker 3: and I know we said on the program. The problem

630
00:35:42,320 --> 00:35:46,960
Speaker 3: is they will not put the consequences on their own choices.

631
00:35:47,320 --> 00:35:48,400
Speaker 1: They will say.

632
00:35:48,800 --> 00:35:52,319
Speaker 3: Trump, Trump, Trump, and that's all that's gonna matter. Trump,

633
00:35:52,400 --> 00:35:54,839
Speaker 3: by the way, speaking on bringing back the American dream

634
00:35:54,880 --> 00:35:57,520
Speaker 3: according to Fox News, down in your hometown of Miami

635
00:35:57,600 --> 00:36:01,000
Speaker 3: right or now your current hometown of Myami right now. Buck,

636
00:36:01,200 --> 00:36:03,960
Speaker 3: we'll monitor that see if he said anything else. Ryan Gerdusky,

637
00:36:04,040 --> 00:36:07,160
Speaker 3: our friend data analyst, is going to join us at

638

Speaker 3: learned according to him, diving into all that data with Ryan,
