1 00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:03,320 Speaker 1: Welcome to today's edition of the Clay Travis and Buck 2 00:00:03,360 --> 00:00:07,680 Speaker 1: Sexton Show podcast. Welcome in everybody. It is Wednesday, November ninth, 3 00:00:07,760 --> 00:00:11,680 Speaker 1: the day after the election. I've got a lot to 4 00:00:11,680 --> 00:00:14,480 Speaker 1: discuss with you here on Clay and Buck today. We 5 00:00:14,640 --> 00:00:17,599 Speaker 1: have seen most of certainly not all of the results, 6 00:00:18,400 --> 00:00:21,159 Speaker 1: and let's just put it out there right now. It 7 00:00:21,320 --> 00:00:24,480 Speaker 1: is not what we were hoping for. It was not 8 00:00:25,000 --> 00:00:30,840 Speaker 1: what the polls indicated as a red wave. And because 9 00:00:30,880 --> 00:00:34,519 Speaker 1: we still don't know the final outcome here for the 10 00:00:34,560 --> 00:00:37,040 Speaker 1: Senate or the House as we speak to you right now, 11 00:00:37,440 --> 00:00:43,000 Speaker 1: it's very tough to give an assessment as to exactly 12 00:00:43,560 --> 00:00:47,080 Speaker 1: where this falls and what happened last night it is likely. 13 00:00:47,560 --> 00:00:49,440 Speaker 1: Let's just start with this one in Clay and I mean, 14 00:00:49,440 --> 00:00:51,560 Speaker 1: we were texting and to the we had a party 15 00:00:51,640 --> 00:00:56,639 Speaker 1: last night, which was fun. There was fun. Lauren described 16 00:00:56,640 --> 00:00:58,960 Speaker 1: at my wife as the equivalent of going to the 17 00:00:59,000 --> 00:01:01,440 Speaker 1: super Bowl party. The team that loses the super Bowl 18 00:01:01,520 --> 00:01:04,320 Speaker 1: has the super Bowl now, so I mean, maybe a 19 00:01:04,360 --> 00:01:08,440 Speaker 1: little bit aggressive. She's not wrong, She's not wrong. So 20 00:01:08,560 --> 00:01:10,680 Speaker 1: lets but let's let's dive into a few of the 21 00:01:10,840 --> 00:01:14,080 Speaker 1: Let's take stock of where we are, because there's an 22 00:01:14,319 --> 00:01:19,319 Speaker 1: enormous shift I think in perception for where this country 23 00:01:19,400 --> 00:01:23,560 Speaker 1: is politically. That is just filtering in right now. Well, 24 00:01:23,680 --> 00:01:25,840 Speaker 1: I want to start with this. I thought it was 25 00:01:25,840 --> 00:01:27,400 Speaker 1: going to be a much stronger night. Clay thought it 26 00:01:27,400 --> 00:01:29,280 Speaker 1: was gonna be much stronger night. In fact, I don't 27 00:01:29,319 --> 00:01:33,200 Speaker 1: really know anybody who didn't think it would be a 28 00:01:33,520 --> 00:01:36,679 Speaker 1: very good to even fantastic night for the GOP. And 29 00:01:36,720 --> 00:01:40,120 Speaker 1: here's why we had said. Poles had been wrong in 30 00:01:40,160 --> 00:01:45,000 Speaker 1: the past. They had been wrong in favor of Democrats 31 00:01:45,000 --> 00:01:48,480 Speaker 1: in the past. So it felt like there was a bias, 32 00:01:48,520 --> 00:01:53,040 Speaker 1: a journalistic bias or similar to a journalistic bias with polling, 33 00:01:53,120 --> 00:01:55,560 Speaker 1: where it always favors the Democrats. And so we had 34 00:01:55,600 --> 00:01:57,279 Speaker 1: said on this show in the last couple of weeks, 35 00:01:57,840 --> 00:02:01,200 Speaker 1: unless the polls for the first time I'm in the 36 00:02:01,280 --> 00:02:06,280 Speaker 1: last twenty years, dramatically favored Republicans versus reality, this is 37 00:02:06,280 --> 00:02:10,440 Speaker 1: going to be an amazing night. Unfortunately, the polls dramatically 38 00:02:10,440 --> 00:02:13,960 Speaker 1: favored Republicans, and we saw how this played out. There 39 00:02:14,040 --> 00:02:17,320 Speaker 1: is so much to unpack here. So polling had a 40 00:02:17,400 --> 00:02:20,880 Speaker 1: terrible night. Betting market, the betting markets are a good night, preposterous. 41 00:02:20,919 --> 00:02:22,639 Speaker 1: They had no idea what was going on. They were 42 00:02:22,639 --> 00:02:27,280 Speaker 1: wrong on everything, the pollsters preposterous, totally wrong. And now 43 00:02:27,320 --> 00:02:29,560 Speaker 1: we see in some places you'll say, okay, what was 44 00:02:29,639 --> 00:02:32,079 Speaker 1: up two points or up one point? Fine, there were 45 00:02:32,200 --> 00:02:35,239 Speaker 1: races where the Republican was supposed to be up six 46 00:02:35,320 --> 00:02:38,200 Speaker 1: points eight points, I mean dramatically and all of a 47 00:02:38,200 --> 00:02:40,680 Speaker 1: sudden it's either a dead heat to this to this 48 00:02:40,760 --> 00:02:44,359 Speaker 1: moment in time, or it's something that just completely went 49 00:02:44,400 --> 00:02:47,560 Speaker 1: in the opposite direction. Let but let's start with let's 50 00:02:47,560 --> 00:02:50,600 Speaker 1: start with a positive. Let's start with the positive, because, 51 00:02:51,360 --> 00:02:54,680 Speaker 1: my friends, the two big positive notes that I have 52 00:02:55,320 --> 00:02:59,679 Speaker 1: in my head with all of this RNDA Santis, the 53 00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:02,920 Speaker 1: even or of Florida came out early last night because 54 00:03:02,919 --> 00:03:05,080 Speaker 1: they had all the votes counted. Because this Florida, he 55 00:03:05,160 --> 00:03:08,440 Speaker 1: won my twenty points in Florida. Yeah, this is almost 56 00:03:08,520 --> 00:03:11,320 Speaker 1: a miracle. Now it is. It is a miracle built 57 00:03:11,760 --> 00:03:15,480 Speaker 1: through the sweat, hard work and genius of Desantists his 58 00:03:15,560 --> 00:03:18,600 Speaker 1: team and what has happened in Florida. But Florida is 59 00:03:18,680 --> 00:03:22,960 Speaker 1: read and what Desantists did in that state is incredible 60 00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:25,240 Speaker 1: and it's just by getting it done, getting the results 61 00:03:25,560 --> 00:03:30,960 Speaker 1: that's great. Clay Congress looks likely the House of Representatives 62 00:03:31,080 --> 00:03:35,760 Speaker 1: looks likely to be Republican majority, but a slim a 63 00:03:35,920 --> 00:03:38,640 Speaker 1: slim majority. And it is not over yet. We do 64 00:03:38,720 --> 00:03:41,880 Speaker 1: not know the final dispensation of the Senate. Likely to 65 00:03:41,920 --> 00:03:44,160 Speaker 1: come down to a runoff in Georgia, so we might 66 00:03:44,200 --> 00:03:48,440 Speaker 1: not even know for another month. Clay, We're gonna be 67 00:03:48,480 --> 00:03:50,680 Speaker 1: talking about this for hours. Yes, what's your big what's 68 00:03:50,720 --> 00:03:53,760 Speaker 1: your biggest your what was keeping you up late last night? 69 00:03:53,800 --> 00:03:55,880 Speaker 1: What keeps you focused? And what keeps you feeling like 70 00:03:56,080 --> 00:03:58,320 Speaker 1: there's a future that we could actually look forward to. 71 00:03:58,480 --> 00:04:00,840 Speaker 1: What kept me up was the negative. So I'll tell 72 00:04:00,880 --> 00:04:03,840 Speaker 1: people why I couldn't sleep last night in a moment. 73 00:04:03,840 --> 00:04:06,320 Speaker 1: But let me build on your RHN De Santis analysis 74 00:04:07,200 --> 00:04:10,480 Speaker 1: twenty point went in Florida. He won in twenty eighteen 75 00:04:10,520 --> 00:04:13,720 Speaker 1: by thirty thousand votes. Buck. Here are some of the 76 00:04:13,840 --> 00:04:18,599 Speaker 1: numbers according to exit polling. Of who he won. Hispanic 77 00:04:18,680 --> 00:04:21,760 Speaker 1: voters he got fifty seven percent of the vote, Women 78 00:04:21,880 --> 00:04:26,880 Speaker 1: voters he got fifty two percent, suburban voters fifty eight percent, 79 00:04:27,400 --> 00:04:31,320 Speaker 1: and independent voters fifty two percent. Couple of other data 80 00:04:31,320 --> 00:04:35,200 Speaker 1: points here. His share of for instance, the Puerto Rican 81 00:04:35,360 --> 00:04:39,120 Speaker 1: vote went from thirty four percent of the electorate in 82 00:04:39,200 --> 00:04:43,320 Speaker 1: twenty eighteen to fifty five percent in twenty twenty two, 83 00:04:43,480 --> 00:04:46,320 Speaker 1: and we have a lot of listeners in South Florida 84 00:04:46,560 --> 00:04:51,680 Speaker 1: flipped Miami Dade read in a way that truly has 85 00:04:51,720 --> 00:04:55,560 Speaker 1: not happened ever. Now. Jeb Bush back in two thousand 86 00:04:55,600 --> 00:04:58,560 Speaker 1: and two won Miami Dade, but de Santis won it 87 00:04:58,600 --> 00:05:03,279 Speaker 1: by more Marco Rubio one the entire Republican Party. There 88 00:05:03,360 --> 00:05:06,320 Speaker 1: is not I believe I'm correcting this a statewide elected 89 00:05:06,360 --> 00:05:10,159 Speaker 1: Democrat in the entire state of Florida, which has never happened. 90 00:05:10,200 --> 00:05:15,240 Speaker 1: What you saw last night was the crowning, the culmination 91 00:05:15,880 --> 00:05:19,920 Speaker 1: of the state of Florida as the heartland of the 92 00:05:20,000 --> 00:05:24,760 Speaker 1: GOP today. Now a good result in Texas with Abbott 93 00:05:24,880 --> 00:05:27,960 Speaker 1: ahead of Bedo by ten points yea. So that was 94 00:05:28,080 --> 00:05:31,960 Speaker 1: sumortable win, comfortable win. But along the border there were 95 00:05:31,960 --> 00:05:39,520 Speaker 1: some areas of particularly of Hispanic predominant voters who went Democrat, 96 00:05:39,680 --> 00:05:42,919 Speaker 1: which was a big surprise. Matt Myra Flores did not 97 00:05:43,040 --> 00:05:46,280 Speaker 1: win her congressional race, So there were a couple of 98 00:05:46,279 --> 00:05:49,320 Speaker 1: things that were not It wasn't Florida in Texas last night, 99 00:05:49,320 --> 00:05:51,320 Speaker 1: That's the best way I can put it. And Florida, 100 00:05:51,760 --> 00:05:54,040 Speaker 1: we saw those numbers, it looked like there had to 101 00:05:54,080 --> 00:05:55,880 Speaker 1: be a mistake Clay when that number came in of 102 00:05:55,880 --> 00:06:00,200 Speaker 1: twenty percent. Yeah, look, Florida got the red tsunami. So 103 00:06:00,240 --> 00:06:01,960 Speaker 1: I think if you're out there and you're saying, okay, 104 00:06:01,960 --> 00:06:04,520 Speaker 1: we were expecting a red wave, I didn't see a 105 00:06:04,560 --> 00:06:07,480 Speaker 1: single pole that ever had de Santis winning by twenty bucks. 106 00:06:07,800 --> 00:06:12,760 Speaker 1: He exceeded every possible expectation in Florida. I think yesterday 107 00:06:12,760 --> 00:06:15,320 Speaker 1: we were talking, I said he might win by fifteen 108 00:06:15,720 --> 00:06:18,000 Speaker 1: and that was the highest number pole we had seen 109 00:06:18,080 --> 00:06:21,159 Speaker 1: with DeSantis favored. So what is staggering to me? And 110 00:06:21,200 --> 00:06:23,359 Speaker 1: this is the positive side is and we saw this 111 00:06:23,440 --> 00:06:26,120 Speaker 1: certainly early in the party that we were having, and 112 00:06:26,160 --> 00:06:28,120 Speaker 1: I think a lot of people in the Biden White 113 00:06:28,120 --> 00:06:30,160 Speaker 1: House saw the numbers that were coming out of Florida 114 00:06:30,160 --> 00:06:32,479 Speaker 1: because they get it out so quickly. We got the 115 00:06:32,520 --> 00:06:35,560 Speaker 1: red tsunami in Florida. And so I think for everybody 116 00:06:35,560 --> 00:06:38,840 Speaker 1: out there who is looking and who is disappointed, focusing 117 00:06:38,880 --> 00:06:43,520 Speaker 1: on the positive, Florida delivered what we expected to see 118 00:06:43,560 --> 00:06:45,919 Speaker 1: across the whole country. And I tweeted out, at some point, 119 00:06:46,160 --> 00:06:49,920 Speaker 1: we need to make America like Florida. Okay, So it's 120 00:06:49,920 --> 00:06:53,200 Speaker 1: a wildly positive night for Ron De Santis. I think 121 00:06:53,320 --> 00:06:55,719 Speaker 1: if you are of the opinion as you and I 122 00:06:55,800 --> 00:06:58,839 Speaker 1: have been for some time, that the twenty twenty four 123 00:06:58,920 --> 00:07:02,120 Speaker 1: presidential content test in the Republican Party is eventually going 124 00:07:02,160 --> 00:07:05,000 Speaker 1: to come down to two eight hundred pound guerrillas, Donald 125 00:07:05,040 --> 00:07:09,040 Speaker 1: Trump and Rhonda Santists, throwing punches, grappling with each other, 126 00:07:09,160 --> 00:07:12,880 Speaker 1: rolling around everywhere. To me, this was a really good 127 00:07:13,000 --> 00:07:15,360 Speaker 1: night for De Santists and not a great night for Trump. 128 00:07:15,400 --> 00:07:17,360 Speaker 1: The other thing, I would say, that's a positive and 129 00:07:17,400 --> 00:07:21,800 Speaker 1: this actually surprised me. Buck New York. Now leez Eldon 130 00:07:21,880 --> 00:07:27,120 Speaker 1: didn't win, but the amount of down ticket strength that 131 00:07:27,200 --> 00:07:29,960 Speaker 1: we are seeing in New York in terms of congressional 132 00:07:30,000 --> 00:07:33,280 Speaker 1: seat pickups. The head of the D Triple C lost 133 00:07:33,320 --> 00:07:36,800 Speaker 1: in a Biden plus ten district in New York. That is, 134 00:07:36,920 --> 00:07:39,239 Speaker 1: we got the kind of the red tsunami red wave 135 00:07:39,280 --> 00:07:42,040 Speaker 1: in New York. We got it in Florida, we didn't 136 00:07:42,040 --> 00:07:43,760 Speaker 1: get a very many other places. And that's kind of 137 00:07:43,760 --> 00:07:46,800 Speaker 1: staggering to New York. Very well, May and this is 138 00:07:46,880 --> 00:07:50,440 Speaker 1: gonna depend on Look, we don't have final results, so 139 00:07:50,480 --> 00:07:54,520 Speaker 1: we're assessing to use a football analogy it's like they're 140 00:07:54,560 --> 00:07:57,239 Speaker 1: still reviewing up in the box and we're saying, well, 141 00:07:57,240 --> 00:07:59,160 Speaker 1: this is how we're looking at game fill after the 142 00:07:59,160 --> 00:08:01,360 Speaker 1: third quarter, and we still don't know, still don't right 143 00:08:01,600 --> 00:08:04,520 Speaker 1: for sure, they're not it's not clear who has Senate 144 00:08:04,520 --> 00:08:06,920 Speaker 1: control as we speak to you. The answer is we 145 00:08:07,000 --> 00:08:10,840 Speaker 1: don't know who has House control. The answer is probably 146 00:08:10,960 --> 00:08:14,000 Speaker 1: seventy five percent Republican, but it's not a hundred percent. 147 00:08:14,480 --> 00:08:17,600 Speaker 1: So that's the place though, where I think there was 148 00:08:17,720 --> 00:08:23,000 Speaker 1: massive underperformance relative to what the polling was showing and 149 00:08:23,120 --> 00:08:25,000 Speaker 1: what we were hoping for was in a lot of 150 00:08:25,000 --> 00:08:29,000 Speaker 1: those key governor's races. Minnesota the Democrat one Um I 151 00:08:29,040 --> 00:08:32,160 Speaker 1: don't have they called Oregon yet against Straysen. I don't 152 00:08:32,160 --> 00:08:34,280 Speaker 1: know it's been called. But she looks like she looks 153 00:08:34,320 --> 00:08:39,000 Speaker 1: like she's just going to lose. Um In obviously Michigan, 154 00:08:39,280 --> 00:08:43,199 Speaker 1: Whittmer one, New York Hocal one. Those are crushing because, 155 00:08:43,480 --> 00:08:46,880 Speaker 1: especially with Whittmer and Hocal, there was a there was 156 00:08:46,920 --> 00:08:50,559 Speaker 1: the one opportunity for accountability for the COVID madness. I 157 00:08:50,559 --> 00:08:52,240 Speaker 1: don't think we're gonna be speaking that much in the 158 00:08:52,360 --> 00:08:55,160 Speaker 1: weeks and months ahead about the craziness of lockdowns. And 159 00:08:55,200 --> 00:08:57,560 Speaker 1: all the rest of it because Blibs don't care. Triple 160 00:08:57,640 --> 00:09:01,840 Speaker 1: mask him, give him fifteen shots. Their kids have massive 161 00:09:01,920 --> 00:09:04,760 Speaker 1: learning loss, you know, make them mask up on if 162 00:09:04,760 --> 00:09:07,360 Speaker 1: they like it. They might be abused. They're they're they're 163 00:09:07,360 --> 00:09:09,199 Speaker 1: fine with it. They have no problem with it. Back 164 00:09:09,240 --> 00:09:10,920 Speaker 1: to your New York point, though, and back to where 165 00:09:10,920 --> 00:09:13,839 Speaker 1: we are at the House Hoco one. Now, Zelvin did 166 00:09:13,920 --> 00:09:19,160 Speaker 1: better than any Republican in the governor's race in what 167 00:09:19,280 --> 00:09:22,319 Speaker 1: is it, at least ten fifteen years, I think the 168 00:09:22,400 --> 00:09:24,480 Speaker 1: twenty first century, right, Well, sir, I'm trying to think 169 00:09:24,480 --> 00:09:29,120 Speaker 1: when Patakia last year, Pattaki would be when, but he 170 00:09:29,520 --> 00:09:31,600 Speaker 1: he did better than any Republican in a long time. 171 00:09:31,720 --> 00:09:33,920 Speaker 1: So credit to him for running. I mean, this is 172 00:09:33,960 --> 00:09:36,199 Speaker 1: like running in California almost. I mean, you are two 173 00:09:36,240 --> 00:09:39,680 Speaker 1: to one underdog there. So Lee ran a good campaign. 174 00:09:40,200 --> 00:09:42,440 Speaker 1: You might have four or five members of Congress though 175 00:09:42,640 --> 00:09:47,240 Speaker 1: in super tight congressional districts in New York State that 176 00:09:47,360 --> 00:09:51,360 Speaker 1: the GOP picks up, and that won't probably be the 177 00:09:51,480 --> 00:09:55,320 Speaker 1: absolute difference between Republican control, but it's gonna be a 178 00:09:55,360 --> 00:09:57,559 Speaker 1: major part of whatever that. You know, those those four 179 00:09:57,640 --> 00:09:59,959 Speaker 1: or five seats that could go red are going to 180 00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:03,120 Speaker 1: to be really critical to the Republican majority. And look, 181 00:10:03,559 --> 00:10:06,439 Speaker 1: assuming that we're heading for one and we feel pretty confident, 182 00:10:06,440 --> 00:10:08,959 Speaker 1: but look, Clay, how can we feel confident and you 183 00:10:09,000 --> 00:10:10,920 Speaker 1: feel confident in anything? Right now? Look, look what happened 184 00:10:10,960 --> 00:10:13,640 Speaker 1: in Arizona. We're talking more about this, the mess that's 185 00:10:13,679 --> 00:10:16,560 Speaker 1: going on there, and you and I, you know, we 186 00:10:16,600 --> 00:10:18,360 Speaker 1: live in different parts of the country. We're talking to 187 00:10:18,400 --> 00:10:21,559 Speaker 1: people everywhere. But ultimately, the only way to really get 188 00:10:21,600 --> 00:10:24,280 Speaker 1: a sense in some of these narrow elections is the data. Yeah, 189 00:10:24,280 --> 00:10:26,320 Speaker 1: that's all we've got. You know, you bring a company 190 00:10:26,400 --> 00:10:28,760 Speaker 1: to us, you say, you know, show us, show us 191 00:10:28,800 --> 00:10:31,760 Speaker 1: the ten can, show us the balance statement, show us 192 00:10:32,480 --> 00:10:35,000 Speaker 1: if all the numbers are crap, you're not going to 193 00:10:35,040 --> 00:10:36,480 Speaker 1: know if this is a good company to invest it 194 00:10:36,559 --> 00:10:40,160 Speaker 1: or not. And the numbers were widely trash going into 195 00:10:40,200 --> 00:10:42,280 Speaker 1: this election in terms of the polls and certainly the 196 00:10:42,320 --> 00:10:46,480 Speaker 1: gambling markets. Okay, so Florida, New York super positive. There 197 00:10:46,520 --> 00:10:50,120 Speaker 1: are certainly other stories going on throughout the country that 198 00:10:50,200 --> 00:10:52,800 Speaker 1: are positive. We're still waiting to see what's going to 199 00:10:52,840 --> 00:10:56,360 Speaker 1: happen in Nevada. To update everybody, Adam Laxalt is up 200 00:10:56,400 --> 00:10:59,480 Speaker 1: by around three points. They say seventy five percent is in. 201 00:11:00,080 --> 00:11:02,400 Speaker 1: Looks like our friend Ron Johnson, we worked as hard 202 00:11:02,400 --> 00:11:04,720 Speaker 1: as we could in Wisconsin. Looks like he has one 203 00:11:05,280 --> 00:11:08,040 Speaker 1: another those Ron john calls in here. But remember when 204 00:11:08,080 --> 00:11:09,760 Speaker 1: we told you we said it was going to be 205 00:11:09,800 --> 00:11:12,360 Speaker 1: super tight, we said every little bit pedal to the medal. 206 00:11:12,400 --> 00:11:14,720 Speaker 1: That Ron john race came down to the wire, and 207 00:11:14,720 --> 00:11:16,719 Speaker 1: we're gonna get him for six more years, which is 208 00:11:16,720 --> 00:11:20,360 Speaker 1: gonna be pretty fantastic. It looks like Herschel is going 209 00:11:20,440 --> 00:11:23,439 Speaker 1: to be in a runoff against Warnock. We're basically reliving 210 00:11:23,480 --> 00:11:27,199 Speaker 1: twenty twenty all over again, and we'll see whether Carrie 211 00:11:27,280 --> 00:11:30,160 Speaker 1: Lake Blake masters the numbers still coming in in Arizona, 212 00:11:30,200 --> 00:11:32,440 Speaker 1: what exactly is going to happen in that state. But 213 00:11:32,520 --> 00:11:35,240 Speaker 1: to your point, Buck, one of the challenges of assessing 214 00:11:35,400 --> 00:11:37,400 Speaker 1: everything right now as we speak to you a little 215 00:11:37,400 --> 00:11:41,720 Speaker 1: bit after noon on election day, after the election, the 216 00:11:41,720 --> 00:11:44,280 Speaker 1: post mortem is we don't all have all the data. 217 00:11:44,400 --> 00:11:47,120 Speaker 1: So we gave you some positives there. When we come back, 218 00:11:47,120 --> 00:11:49,560 Speaker 1: we'll start to talk about some of the negatives that 219 00:11:49,600 --> 00:11:51,680 Speaker 1: are out there. And I'll just give you a tease. 220 00:11:52,360 --> 00:11:56,559 Speaker 1: The fact that John Federman won in Pennsylvania I could 221 00:11:56,600 --> 00:12:01,400 Speaker 1: not sleep thinking if John feder can be elected as 222 00:12:01,440 --> 00:12:04,920 Speaker 1: a Senate candidate statewide. The man can't speak, he's in 223 00:12:05,080 --> 00:12:08,880 Speaker 1: awful health. He is Bernie Sanders. We're in a really 224 00:12:08,920 --> 00:12:11,800 Speaker 1: tough spot because that's not a candidate quality issue. He 225 00:12:11,920 --> 00:12:16,640 Speaker 1: was the worst candidate of either major political party running 226 00:12:16,679 --> 00:12:19,760 Speaker 1: for statewide race. I think it is essential for us 227 00:12:19,840 --> 00:12:22,000 Speaker 1: and well through this coming back and more this hour 228 00:12:22,559 --> 00:12:26,600 Speaker 1: to understand how could John Fetterman have won in Pennsylvania 229 00:12:27,080 --> 00:12:31,240 Speaker 1: because this is what we are. The Fetterman phenomenon of 230 00:12:31,280 --> 00:12:35,080 Speaker 1: the worst candidate who's completely absurd being able to be 231 00:12:35,120 --> 00:12:38,000 Speaker 1: a US editor goes right to the mindset of the 232 00:12:38,000 --> 00:12:40,719 Speaker 1: modern Democrat party. This is really what we have to 233 00:12:40,800 --> 00:12:42,839 Speaker 1: unpack and dive into here because this is what we're 234 00:12:42,920 --> 00:12:46,240 Speaker 1: up against. No doubt, we'll continue to break down everything electionwise. 235 00:12:46,480 --> 00:12:49,079 Speaker 1: Obviously we are going to dive into this from a 236 00:12:49,200 --> 00:12:52,800 Speaker 1: data and analytics perspective as well as an overall analysis 237 00:12:52,840 --> 00:12:56,520 Speaker 1: of where the country is. Buckle up. A lot to discuss, 238 00:12:56,520 --> 00:12:58,679 Speaker 1: and I think the ride is going to be pretty interesting. Today. 239 00:12:59,200 --> 00:13:01,480 Speaker 1: On America's Marcus Day of nine to eleven, the Tunnel 240 00:13:01,480 --> 00:13:03,720 Speaker 1: of the Towers Foundation was born and it's been helping 241 00:13:03,720 --> 00:13:07,000 Speaker 1: America's heroes ever since. When a first responder or military 242 00:13:07,040 --> 00:13:09,839 Speaker 1: service member doesn't come home and young kids are left behind, 243 00:13:09,840 --> 00:13:12,040 Speaker 1: Tunnel of the Towers pays the mortgage on the family 244 00:13:12,080 --> 00:13:15,280 Speaker 1: home to lift the financial burden and bring stability for 245 00:13:15,480 --> 00:13:18,800 Speaker 1: seriously injured veterans and first responders. Tunnel of the Towers 246 00:13:18,840 --> 00:13:22,040 Speaker 1: builds mortgage free smart homes, giving our most severely injured 247 00:13:22,080 --> 00:13:26,320 Speaker 1: heroes the ability to live more independent lives. Through their 248 00:13:26,400 --> 00:13:29,800 Speaker 1: Veteran Homelessness Program, Tunnel of the Towers is providing housing 249 00:13:29,800 --> 00:13:33,240 Speaker 1: and services to homeless veterans across America, more than five 250 00:13:33,360 --> 00:13:36,480 Speaker 1: hundred such homes this year alone. Because all veterans who 251 00:13:36,480 --> 00:13:40,200 Speaker 1: honorably served our country, whether in peacetime or war, deserve 252 00:13:40,240 --> 00:13:43,200 Speaker 1: our nation's gratitude. People who put their lives on the 253 00:13:43,280 --> 00:13:46,120 Speaker 1: line for our country and our communities need your help 254 00:13:46,160 --> 00:13:48,880 Speaker 1: now more than ever. You can help America's heroes and 255 00:13:49,000 --> 00:13:51,640 Speaker 1: their families. Join Tunnel to Towers on its mission to 256 00:13:51,679 --> 00:13:54,720 Speaker 1: do good in their honor. Join us in donating eleven 257 00:13:54,720 --> 00:13:57,760 Speaker 1: dollars a month at t twot dot org. That's t 258 00:13:58,040 --> 00:14:03,920 Speaker 1: the number two t dot org. Welcome back in Clay 259 00:14:03,960 --> 00:14:07,840 Speaker 1: Travis Buck Sexton Show. Okay, we talked about the positives. 260 00:14:08,880 --> 00:14:11,000 Speaker 1: Let's talk about some of the negatives, which may be 261 00:14:11,120 --> 00:14:17,040 Speaker 1: going on for a little while now. So, Buck, we 262 00:14:17,120 --> 00:14:20,080 Speaker 1: have record high inflation for most of our lives, forty 263 00:14:20,160 --> 00:14:24,400 Speaker 1: year high inflation. We've got twenty first century highs in crime. 264 00:14:24,920 --> 00:14:27,960 Speaker 1: The border has never been more wide open, certainly in 265 00:14:28,000 --> 00:14:31,640 Speaker 1: the twenty first century, got a war in Europe. Joe 266 00:14:31,680 --> 00:14:37,960 Speaker 1: Biden is a doddering, dementia riddled leader. And yet effectively 267 00:14:38,640 --> 00:14:44,680 Speaker 1: this election was a fifty fifty concept. Right, we may 268 00:14:44,720 --> 00:14:47,360 Speaker 1: win the House by a small amount. We'll see what 269 00:14:47,400 --> 00:14:52,160 Speaker 1: happens in Nevada, Arizona, and Georgia, three outstanding Senate races. 270 00:14:52,920 --> 00:14:55,440 Speaker 1: Republicans need to win two out of those three in 271 00:14:55,560 --> 00:14:57,760 Speaker 1: order to have a majority, and I would say the 272 00:14:57,800 --> 00:15:02,200 Speaker 1: odds are against us right now there. And so in 273 00:15:02,240 --> 00:15:06,000 Speaker 1: addition to Fetterman winning, I just last night, as I 274 00:15:06,040 --> 00:15:08,040 Speaker 1: was looking at the data coming in after we left 275 00:15:08,040 --> 00:15:10,400 Speaker 1: our party, you said you were up till well after 276 00:15:10,480 --> 00:15:13,280 Speaker 1: two am. I think I was still checking election returns 277 00:15:13,320 --> 00:15:16,240 Speaker 1: at three thirty this morning before my kids came running 278 00:15:16,240 --> 00:15:18,640 Speaker 1: in early to wake me up. So I didn't sleep 279 00:15:18,720 --> 00:15:21,920 Speaker 1: very much, but I just couldn't stop thinking, buck, if 280 00:15:21,920 --> 00:15:26,920 Speaker 1: you can't win a landslide right now, when the Democrats 281 00:15:26,920 --> 00:15:29,960 Speaker 1: have been objectively wrong on everything, right, I mean, they've 282 00:15:29,960 --> 00:15:33,640 Speaker 1: been wrong on COVID, wrong on getting your kids keeping 283 00:15:33,680 --> 00:15:35,840 Speaker 1: them out of school, wrong on masking, and then all 284 00:15:35,880 --> 00:15:39,600 Speaker 1: those things that I just ran through, the border crime, inflation, 285 00:15:39,640 --> 00:15:43,320 Speaker 1: the economy, all those things. I just wonder if we're 286 00:15:43,360 --> 00:15:48,360 Speaker 1: in such aggressive to use the military analogy trench warfare, 287 00:15:49,400 --> 00:15:51,760 Speaker 1: that there's almost no one still out there making their 288 00:15:51,800 --> 00:15:55,720 Speaker 1: mind up. The myth of the independent voters basically doesn't exist. 289 00:15:55,800 --> 00:15:58,720 Speaker 1: People saw last night because we had all this data 290 00:15:58,760 --> 00:16:00,640 Speaker 1: about the switch, and as we know that data, the 291 00:16:00,760 --> 00:16:02,760 Speaker 1: data is crap. And for anybody who's second look, I 292 00:16:02,760 --> 00:16:04,600 Speaker 1: get it people reaching out, well you thought this or 293 00:16:04,640 --> 00:16:07,920 Speaker 1: you thought that. I don't live in Oregon. I can't 294 00:16:07,960 --> 00:16:11,080 Speaker 1: tell you what the trends on the ground are there. 295 00:16:11,160 --> 00:16:14,040 Speaker 1: We talk to people from that state, we read their emails. 296 00:16:14,120 --> 00:16:16,520 Speaker 1: But first and foremost, you look at the polling, you 297 00:16:16,520 --> 00:16:19,160 Speaker 1: look at the data. But I think that this is 298 00:16:19,200 --> 00:16:22,600 Speaker 1: the Fetterman phenomenon for me, and this is what you're 299 00:16:22,640 --> 00:16:28,360 Speaker 1: getting at is just ironclad proof that the Democrat Party, 300 00:16:28,400 --> 00:16:29,920 Speaker 1: first of all, the problem with our elections, there are 301 00:16:29,920 --> 00:16:35,560 Speaker 1: too many Democrats. Second, of all, Democrats, even at even 302 00:16:35,600 --> 00:16:40,920 Speaker 1: at the expense of suffering themselves because of poor decision making, 303 00:16:41,240 --> 00:16:43,720 Speaker 1: they think it is a righteous suffering. They think that 304 00:16:43,800 --> 00:16:46,880 Speaker 1: the COVID lockdowns and the masking and all that idiocy, 305 00:16:46,960 --> 00:16:49,760 Speaker 1: and it was idiocy, that was wrong. That was a 306 00:16:49,880 --> 00:16:53,240 Speaker 1: righteous suffering. They think that the increasing crime on their streets. 307 00:16:53,440 --> 00:16:55,400 Speaker 1: They think the fact that it to pay higher bills, 308 00:16:55,680 --> 00:16:59,280 Speaker 1: it's for climate change, Clay, it's for racial justice, it's 309 00:16:59,280 --> 00:17:02,200 Speaker 1: for our demand accracy. That's stuff that you and I, 310 00:17:02,400 --> 00:17:05,840 Speaker 1: as emotionally stable adults with fully functional brands who can 311 00:17:05,840 --> 00:17:09,639 Speaker 1: think for themselves, laugh at. Unfortunately, if you are a 312 00:17:09,760 --> 00:17:14,359 Speaker 1: Democrat today, ninety five percent, maybe ninety nine percent of 313 00:17:14,400 --> 00:17:17,320 Speaker 1: them simply don't care what the results are. They're all 314 00:17:17,400 --> 00:17:21,080 Speaker 1: in on those ideas, those concepts like a religious belief. Yeah, 315 00:17:21,119 --> 00:17:26,280 Speaker 1: you're right. They believe in their own moral righteousness. They 316 00:17:26,359 --> 00:17:30,200 Speaker 1: think that being opposed to the Democrat Party brands them 317 00:17:30,560 --> 00:17:37,760 Speaker 1: as sterling examples of virtue and actual facts tangible failure 318 00:17:37,760 --> 00:17:41,399 Speaker 1: on the economy, tangible failure on crime the border, and 319 00:17:41,480 --> 00:17:45,360 Speaker 1: being wrong about everything on COVID. It doesn't pull them 320 00:17:45,480 --> 00:17:50,600 Speaker 1: off of their positions, and that's what's so troubling to me. 321 00:17:51,000 --> 00:17:53,560 Speaker 1: Now that again, going back to the positive side, buck, 322 00:17:54,080 --> 00:17:56,320 Speaker 1: I think we look at what de Santis did and 323 00:17:56,440 --> 00:17:59,800 Speaker 1: we say, could he do it nationwide? I think that's 324 00:17:59,800 --> 00:18:02,000 Speaker 1: a question a lot of people are asking right now 325 00:18:02,040 --> 00:18:04,320 Speaker 1: as they wake up the day after the midterms.

Back 356 00:19:40,840 --> 00:19:43,479 Speaker 1: in the day, we had an awesome collection of really 357 00:19:43,560 --> 00:19:46,480 Speaker 1: fun people and many of those video interviews went up 358 00:19:46,520 --> 00:19:50,280 Speaker 1: on Clay and Buck dot com. Your why fiance Kerrie, 359 00:19:50,720 --> 00:19:54,920 Speaker 1: my wife Laura phenomenally decked out. I mean they were, 360 00:19:54,960 --> 00:19:57,040 Speaker 1: they were ladies were looking good. So they're you know, 361 00:19:57,119 --> 00:19:59,520 Speaker 1: red dresses, red outfits like they were. There were a 362 00:19:59,560 --> 00:20:01,480 Speaker 1: lot of good look at women, a lot of people. 363 00:20:01,520 --> 00:20:05,960 Speaker 1: We had an amazing crew, So we appreciate everybody who came. 364 00:20:06,040 --> 00:20:09,520 Speaker 1: I just I just at like nine o'clock buck right 365 00:20:09,520 --> 00:20:12,920 Speaker 1: after Florida closed and De Santis gave his speech. I 366 00:20:13,000 --> 00:20:16,240 Speaker 1: just expected for the tsunami to spread, and it didn't. 367 00:20:16,560 --> 00:20:21,440 Speaker 1: It was really, it felt really doubly unfair for Ron. 368 00:20:21,800 --> 00:20:23,879 Speaker 1: I'm sorry. We're gonna get to Ron Johnson in a second. Here. 369 00:20:23,880 --> 00:20:26,240 Speaker 1: We got good news, good news friends. Yeah, we're gonna 370 00:20:26,240 --> 00:20:30,919 Speaker 1: focus on the after action report for the way forward 371 00:20:31,160 --> 00:20:33,679 Speaker 1: to win and keep in mind, let's just I just 372 00:20:33,720 --> 00:20:35,400 Speaker 1: want to keep hitting this clay because we have so 373 00:20:35,400 --> 00:20:38,520 Speaker 1: many things to get into here, because there was a 374 00:20:38,560 --> 00:20:43,159 Speaker 1: massive departure from the consensus in American politics that occurred 375 00:20:43,240 --> 00:20:45,639 Speaker 1: last night about what this election would look like. So 376 00:20:45,920 --> 00:20:47,920 Speaker 1: we've got a lot to break down. We are likely 377 00:20:47,920 --> 00:20:49,919 Speaker 1: to have control of the House. If we just have 378 00:20:50,000 --> 00:20:54,600 Speaker 1: control of the House, the Biden agenda is effectively stalled out. 379 00:20:54,840 --> 00:20:58,360 Speaker 1: They will if they have Senate control, pushed forward lunatics 380 00:20:58,359 --> 00:21:02,800 Speaker 1: into the federal courts and different positions appointee positions, but 381 00:21:03,320 --> 00:21:07,760 Speaker 1: that requires Senate confirmation. We likely will be in a 382 00:21:07,920 --> 00:21:10,960 Speaker 1: better place here, very likely a better place going forward 383 00:21:10,960 --> 00:21:13,080 Speaker 1: against the Bide administration. But we have to have a 384 00:21:13,200 --> 00:21:17,160 Speaker 1: real political strategy. Rethink. One thing I said, I said 385 00:21:17,160 --> 00:21:19,800 Speaker 1: to Clay and producer Alley before the show last night 386 00:21:19,920 --> 00:21:23,320 Speaker 1: was a reminder that you can have better tactics. You 387 00:21:23,320 --> 00:21:26,960 Speaker 1: can be a brilliant strategist on the battlefield. If the 388 00:21:26,960 --> 00:21:29,680 Speaker 1: other guy shows up with ten times as many artillery pieces, 389 00:21:29,760 --> 00:21:33,119 Speaker 1: you're gonna lose. And the machinery in these states, and 390 00:21:33,160 --> 00:21:36,359 Speaker 1: I mean the machinery of getting people out to vote, 391 00:21:36,640 --> 00:21:40,520 Speaker 1: the changes many changes state in place after COVID. I 392 00:21:40,520 --> 00:21:44,560 Speaker 1: think nine states still have changes about mail in balloting 393 00:21:44,560 --> 00:21:46,840 Speaker 1: and ballot harvesting and all these things. We have to 394 00:21:46,840 --> 00:21:49,320 Speaker 1: look at all that. We have to take care to 395 00:21:49,359 --> 00:21:52,920 Speaker 1: make sure we understand what this playing field going forward 396 00:21:53,000 --> 00:21:57,080 Speaker 1: really is. We're obviously in a hyper divided political environment 397 00:21:57,200 --> 00:22:00,480 Speaker 1: and independence where are they? I mean it's felt like 398 00:22:00,480 --> 00:22:04,080 Speaker 1: there were it Basically last night was last night showed 399 00:22:04,160 --> 00:22:07,920 Speaker 1: us that the political consensus has ossified. Now it has hardened. 400 00:22:08,280 --> 00:22:10,800 Speaker 1: Where if you didn't look at any polls claim and 401 00:22:10,840 --> 00:22:12,440 Speaker 1: you would ask me, if you would ask the two 402 00:22:12,440 --> 00:22:16,359 Speaker 1: of us. I feel comfortable stating this, what's gonna happen 403 00:22:16,440 --> 00:22:20,000 Speaker 1: in this election? Six months ago, before any polls, it 404 00:22:20,000 --> 00:22:22,400 Speaker 1: actually would have looked like what we saw last night, 405 00:22:22,520 --> 00:22:26,320 Speaker 1: Meaning all the narrative, all the pollings, dollars in spending, 406 00:22:26,359 --> 00:22:30,280 Speaker 1: had almost no no effect, no effect whatsoever. You know, 407 00:22:30,720 --> 00:22:33,240 Speaker 1: who's gonna win in Michigan the LIB because they've got 408 00:22:33,240 --> 00:22:35,240 Speaker 1: more voters. Who's gonna win in New York at least 409 00:22:35,280 --> 00:22:37,800 Speaker 1: the governor's race the LIB they've got more voters. I mean, 410 00:22:37,840 --> 00:22:41,440 Speaker 1: when you take that very nuts and bolts approach to it, 411 00:22:41,720 --> 00:22:43,840 Speaker 1: all of a sudden it makes sense. Now with that 412 00:22:44,000 --> 00:22:49,400 Speaker 1: all said, Senator Ron Johnson has been has been confirmed 413 00:22:49,520 --> 00:22:53,640 Speaker 1: the victor in Wisconsin. Those calls in from Wisconsin were 414 00:22:53,680 --> 00:22:55,480 Speaker 1: not a waste of time for the Senator to get 415 00:22:55,480 --> 00:23:00,399 Speaker 1: this audience. We have a huge audience on WISNIS consin 416 00:23:00,480 --> 00:23:03,760 Speaker 1: Milwaukee area and and other stations throughout the state. That 417 00:23:04,359 --> 00:23:06,800 Speaker 1: was certainly well worth it. But this is what I 418 00:23:06,840 --> 00:23:08,679 Speaker 1: want to post to Uklay because I think this is 419 00:23:08,760 --> 00:23:12,880 Speaker 1: an addendum or a offshoot of the Fetterman phenomenon. We're 420 00:23:12,920 --> 00:23:15,240 Speaker 1: Clay and I. We're basically texting each other in grief. 421 00:23:15,280 --> 00:23:17,280 Speaker 1: Last night when they announced Feederman one, because we're like, 422 00:23:17,280 --> 00:23:19,879 Speaker 1: how could anyone I want to talk to Fetterman voters. 423 00:23:20,320 --> 00:23:21,960 Speaker 1: I actually want to sit down and speak to them, 424 00:23:21,960 --> 00:23:23,600 Speaker 1: be like, this is you know what They'll just say, 425 00:23:23,600 --> 00:23:28,120 Speaker 1: it's raw power and political tribalism, and that's let's take 426 00:23:28,160 --> 00:23:33,480 Speaker 1: a moment one. Mandela Barnes almost beat Ron Johnson, didn't 427 00:23:33,600 --> 00:23:37,080 Speaker 1: he lost. This is a guy. This is a guy 428 00:23:37,119 --> 00:23:40,040 Speaker 1: who was a defund the police, empty out the prisons guy. 429 00:23:40,440 --> 00:23:44,960 Speaker 1: And Wisconsin, Milwaukee in particular, has been a nightmare for 430 00:23:45,080 --> 00:23:48,480 Speaker 1: crime increases. Do people care? I mean, who are these 431 00:23:48,480 --> 00:23:52,280 Speaker 1: Democrats that are voting for him? I think they don't 432 00:23:52,320 --> 00:23:56,480 Speaker 1: care about any of the circumstances. My wife was talking 433 00:23:56,480 --> 00:23:59,040 Speaker 1: to me last night and she said, the number of 434 00:23:59,080 --> 00:24:01,560 Speaker 1: people I'm not on tape book right, So I spend 435 00:24:01,720 --> 00:24:06,159 Speaker 1: no time. I use my Twitter account and occasionally we 436 00:24:06,240 --> 00:24:08,720 Speaker 1: got some pictures up on Instagram. I'm bad at pictures, 437 00:24:08,720 --> 00:24:10,800 Speaker 1: like I was trying to post pictures of you and 438 00:24:10,840 --> 00:24:12,840 Speaker 1: your fiance and me and my wife and I can 439 00:24:12,880 --> 00:24:17,280 Speaker 1: barely use Instagram right. But on Facebook, there were a 440 00:24:17,320 --> 00:24:22,840 Speaker 1: lot of people posting buck saying who cares about inflation? 441 00:24:23,440 --> 00:24:29,399 Speaker 1: Who cares about what's going on with the crime and 442 00:24:29,560 --> 00:24:32,879 Speaker 1: what's going on at the border. All they cared about 443 00:24:33,160 --> 00:24:37,480 Speaker 1: was abortion. And I do think in the state of Pennsylvania, 444 00:24:37,640 --> 00:24:40,360 Speaker 1: the number one issue for Democrats when you say, hey, 445 00:24:40,359 --> 00:24:45,080 Speaker 1: why did you come vote? Was abortion? And so I 446 00:24:45,119 --> 00:24:48,200 Speaker 1: think to your point, they have such a good apparatus 447 00:24:48,200 --> 00:24:51,560 Speaker 1: now they could elect They basically did a dead man 448 00:24:52,000 --> 00:24:55,040 Speaker 1: in Pennsylvania. It is impossible for someone to be a 449 00:24:55,160 --> 00:24:59,080 Speaker 1: worse candidate than John Fetterman was, and he won outright 450 00:24:59,200 --> 00:25:01,280 Speaker 1: and announced, I mean, Fox and Need. I couldn't believe 451 00:25:01,280 --> 00:25:02,960 Speaker 1: it when I was watching his victory speech. I felt 452 00:25:02,960 --> 00:25:05,800 Speaker 1: like I was getting punked. I would just say, the 453 00:25:06,119 --> 00:25:08,520 Speaker 1: people who voted for Federman last night, if it were 454 00:25:08,640 --> 00:25:11,840 Speaker 1: legal for a ten year old to run for the Senate, 455 00:25:12,119 --> 00:25:14,439 Speaker 1: if that ten year old said that he or she 456 00:25:14,600 --> 00:25:17,000 Speaker 1: was a Democrat, they would vote for that time, they 457 00:25:17,160 --> 00:25:18,679 Speaker 1: vote for a dead man. And I would at the 458 00:25:18,720 --> 00:25:20,439 Speaker 1: top of the next hour, we'll talk about what this 459 00:25:20,480 --> 00:25:23,400 Speaker 1: means for Biden and Trump and everybody else. But I mean, 460 00:25:23,600 --> 00:25:25,800 Speaker 1: this is I mean, I think Biden basically is a 461 00:25:25,840 --> 00:25:29,720 Speaker 1: dead man, right, and Biden is a better candidate than Fetterman, 462 00:25:30,160 --> 00:25:32,880 Speaker 1: as bad of a candidate as Biden is. I think 463 00:25:32,880 --> 00:25:36,480 Speaker 1: Federman's far worse and he won and it wasn't particularly 464 00:25:36,560 --> 00:25:39,080 Speaker 1: close in Pennsylvania. So we have to look at the 465 00:25:39,200 --> 00:25:41,480 Speaker 1: different areas. And let's just keep in mind, folks, we 466 00:25:41,520 --> 00:25:43,359 Speaker 1: don't know if Carrie Lake is going to pull it 467 00:25:43,400 --> 00:25:46,479 Speaker 1: out in Arizona or not. As of right now, I 468 00:25:46,560 --> 00:25:48,840 Speaker 1: don't believe and if this this can change because things 469 00:25:48,840 --> 00:25:51,840 Speaker 1: are coming in. No one has called it yet against Masters. 470 00:25:51,880 --> 00:25:53,679 Speaker 1: Am I right on that one, But it's not looking 471 00:25:53,720 --> 00:25:59,560 Speaker 1: good Nevada with Laxalt, he's ahead, so looking pretty solid 472 00:25:59,600 --> 00:26:03,680 Speaker 1: there and Herschel and Warnock is almost certainly heading into 473 00:26:03,680 --> 00:26:08,800 Speaker 1: in Georgia a runoff. So we're assessing results without having 474 00:26:08,840 --> 00:26:11,000 Speaker 1: the full results, and we have a good we have 475 00:26:11,040 --> 00:26:13,159 Speaker 1: a good sense. Obviously what happened last night, I don't know. 476 00:26:13,160 --> 00:26:16,160 Speaker 1: It wasn't other than Florida. Florida's the total alloy. Florida 477 00:26:16,320 --> 00:26:22,120 Speaker 1: was backad tsunami, backflips, high fives, America, the beautiful, everything 478 00:26:22,240 --> 00:26:25,840 Speaker 1: is awesome. That was Florida last night. Everywhere else it 479 00:26:25,920 --> 00:26:28,280 Speaker 1: was close. It was way too close, and in a 480 00:26:28,280 --> 00:26:30,840 Speaker 1: lot of cases obviously it didn't it didn't break our way. 481 00:26:31,119 --> 00:26:35,600 Speaker 1: But on the issues Clay abortion and basically every single none. 482 00:26:35,640 --> 00:26:37,639 Speaker 1: But this goes back to the data on all of 483 00:26:37,680 --> 00:26:42,880 Speaker 1: it was fifth issue, sixth issue, maybe the fourth. No 484 00:26:42,920 --> 00:26:46,679 Speaker 1: one had it in the top three anywhere. And you know, 485 00:26:47,160 --> 00:26:48,439 Speaker 1: this goes to I don't know if there's just not 486 00:26:48,560 --> 00:26:51,800 Speaker 1: enough independent voters a lot of I'm seeing some of 487 00:26:51,840 --> 00:26:55,639 Speaker 1: the political analysts I know say that white college educated 488 00:26:55,720 --> 00:27:01,440 Speaker 1: voters just that the injection of some of Trumpism in 489 00:27:01,560 --> 00:27:03,600 Speaker 1: the very end here may have been to come out 490 00:27:04,160 --> 00:27:08,280 Speaker 1: for Democrats may have been unhelpful. You know, we don't 491 00:27:08,400 --> 00:27:12,000 Speaker 1: know the full scope of what this after action report 492 00:27:12,040 --> 00:27:13,240 Speaker 1: is going to look like because when we don't have 493 00:27:13,280 --> 00:27:17,800 Speaker 1: all the results. But for me, the biggest first of all, 494 00:27:18,520 --> 00:27:20,960 Speaker 1: it's a weak economy, and we see what happened last night, 495 00:27:21,000 --> 00:27:24,240 Speaker 1: So I'd say, I'd to say, Clay, it's the economy stupid. 496 00:27:24,280 --> 00:27:26,240 Speaker 1: I'm not even sure that's really what it is anymore. 497 00:27:26,480 --> 00:27:28,920 Speaker 1: It's a bad economy. Everybody thought it's a bad economy. 498 00:27:28,960 --> 00:27:32,240 Speaker 1: Inflation's high, gases high, people can't pay their bills, and 499 00:27:32,320 --> 00:27:35,000 Speaker 1: yet look what happened last night. I think we are 500 00:27:35,080 --> 00:27:40,480 Speaker 1: just in an era now of political tribal allegiance. It 501 00:27:40,640 --> 00:27:44,960 Speaker 1: is just people are Democrat no matter what, and they 502 00:27:45,040 --> 00:27:47,159 Speaker 1: do not care. And you can say, oh, it's the 503 00:27:47,200 --> 00:27:49,600 Speaker 1: same thing about Republicans, and that's what they'll say, obviously. 504 00:27:49,640 --> 00:27:52,040 Speaker 1: But to that, I just say, but they're not even 505 00:27:52,080 --> 00:27:54,280 Speaker 1: making a case that things have gone well the last year. 506 00:27:54,320 --> 00:27:58,160 Speaker 1: They just don't care. Buck. Seventy five percent of voters 507 00:27:58,600 --> 00:28:02,760 Speaker 1: said that effectively the country was an awful shape. And 508 00:28:02,880 --> 00:28:07,560 Speaker 1: yet almost every incumbent one right, I mean think about it, 509 00:28:07,600 --> 00:28:11,960 Speaker 1: almost every incumbent running for reelection as either a Republican 510 00:28:12,119 --> 00:28:14,760 Speaker 1: or a Democrat. Those two things don't make sense other 511 00:28:14,880 --> 00:28:20,040 Speaker 1: than we've reached such peak trench warfare that nothing matters 512 00:28:20,160 --> 00:28:23,080 Speaker 1: other than you're a big D or you're a big 513 00:28:23,280 --> 00:28:25,359 Speaker 1: R and you're gonna go out and vote. And it 514 00:28:25,400 --> 00:28:28,320 Speaker 1: reminds me, you know, you're a history guys. It's like 515 00:28:28,359 --> 00:28:31,520 Speaker 1: World War One trench warfare, you know, where it's impossible 516 00:28:31,560 --> 00:28:34,399 Speaker 1: to ever make a breakthrough, and each side is just 517 00:28:34,480 --> 00:28:36,720 Speaker 1: kind of peeking up every now and then in firing away, 518 00:28:37,000 --> 00:28:39,480 Speaker 1: and nothing matters in this case instead of people being 519 00:28:39,480 --> 00:28:43,480 Speaker 1: mowed down with machine guns, fortunately it's it's spending hundreds 520 00:28:43,520 --> 00:28:46,800 Speaker 1: of billions of billions of dollars, spending billions of dollars 521 00:28:46,920 --> 00:28:52,440 Speaker 1: to doing doesn't even move the numbers except for and 522 00:28:52,480 --> 00:28:54,960 Speaker 1: this is why I think everybody out there needs to 523 00:28:55,000 --> 00:28:59,160 Speaker 1: be thinking about this, except for Florida, which bucked the 524 00:28:59,200 --> 00:29:05,800 Speaker 1: trend in every possible metric. What is that Florida magic? 525 00:29:06,440 --> 00:29:10,680 Speaker 1: And how much could it be translated elsewhere? Can anything 526 00:29:10,960 --> 00:29:14,240 Speaker 1: occur that's going to make people move? And the other thing, 527 00:29:14,280 --> 00:29:16,360 Speaker 1: I think we need Governor Ronnie Dada sprinkle some of 528 00:29:16,360 --> 00:29:18,280 Speaker 1: that Florida magic on the rest of the country. The 529 00:29:18,320 --> 00:29:19,920 Speaker 1: other thing I think buck is and I think we 530 00:29:19,960 --> 00:29:21,680 Speaker 1: got to get more and more data about it. I 531 00:29:21,760 --> 00:29:26,440 Speaker 1: wonder how much of the trench warfare got further emphasized, 532 00:29:26,480 --> 00:29:28,160 Speaker 1: because I'll give you an example. You're here with me 533 00:29:28,240 --> 00:29:31,760 Speaker 1: in Tennessee right now. Tennessee got redder, Florida got redder. 534 00:29:32,040 --> 00:29:34,800 Speaker 1: I think in general Texas got redder. A lot of 535 00:29:34,800 --> 00:29:37,880 Speaker 1: people who might have been read voters in blue states 536 00:29:38,080 --> 00:29:41,640 Speaker 1: or cities moved, And so I wonder whether the trenches 537 00:29:41,680 --> 00:29:46,160 Speaker 1: actually got even further reinforced, which means that it's really 538 00:29:46,240 --> 00:29:48,920 Speaker 1: hard for any of the fact patterns out there to 539 00:29:49,080 --> 00:29:52,720 Speaker 1: move people off whatever opinions they had in twenty twenty 540 00:29:52,800 --> 00:29:57,160 Speaker 1: or frankly twenty sixteen. Every race is basically a knife 541 00:29:57,160 --> 00:30:00,640 Speaker 1: fight in side of a phone booth. About that more. 542 00:30:00,680 --> 00:30:03,200 Speaker 1: In meantime, you know what, we've loved these chairs because 543 00:30:03,200 --> 00:30:05,360 Speaker 1: we're working all the time.

Welcome back in 563 00:31:03,920 --> 00:31:09,120 Speaker 1: Clay Travis buck Sexton show. Still early in terms of 564 00:31:09,160 --> 00:31:12,840 Speaker 1: knowing exactly what happened in many of the most contested races. 565 00:31:12,920 --> 00:31:14,640 Speaker 1: We're still waiting to hear what's going to happen in 566 00:31:14,680 --> 00:31:17,640 Speaker 1: Nevada with Adam laxalt Up. Still waiting to hear what's 567 00:31:17,640 --> 00:31:20,960 Speaker 1: going to happen in Arizona Blake Masters and Carrie Lake 568 00:31:21,080 --> 00:31:24,920 Speaker 1: in big battles in that state as the votes continue 569 00:31:24,920 --> 00:31:27,040 Speaker 1: to come in. As we mentioned just a few minutes ago, 570 00:31:27,160 --> 00:31:31,000 Speaker 1: Ron Johnson officially declared the winner in the Senate in 571 00:31:31,120 --> 00:31:36,240 Speaker 1: Wisconsin and other news that is official. Neither candidate gets 572 00:31:36,280 --> 00:31:40,720 Speaker 1: to fifty percent in the Georgia Senate race, super tight 573 00:31:41,200 --> 00:31:45,720 Speaker 1: Reverend Raphael Warnock herschel Walker. That race will now move 574 00:31:45,920 --> 00:31:50,520 Speaker 1: into December in a runoff, and it may well be 575 00:31:50,680 --> 00:31:55,200 Speaker 1: Buck a little bit of a redo associated with what 576 00:31:55,320 --> 00:31:58,040 Speaker 1: we saw in twenty twenty, except there's one Senate seat 577 00:31:58,040 --> 00:32:01,240 Speaker 1: now out there in Georgia as opposed to to I'm 578 00:32:01,280 --> 00:32:03,200 Speaker 1: just gonna put this out there. You know, we spoke 579 00:32:03,240 --> 00:32:06,680 Speaker 1: to former President Trump yesterday and we're gonna be talking 580 00:32:06,720 --> 00:32:09,560 Speaker 1: more about what this all means for the presidential race. 581 00:32:09,760 --> 00:32:12,160 Speaker 1: That really what we're going to see actually now is 582 00:32:12,360 --> 00:32:14,840 Speaker 1: a massive focus on the Senate. We thought we'd go 583 00:32:14,960 --> 00:32:17,840 Speaker 1: right into presidential discussion. We're really going to go into 584 00:32:17,920 --> 00:32:20,760 Speaker 1: Senate discussion with Herschel and another month for another month, 585 00:32:20,840 --> 00:32:24,800 Speaker 1: and then it will turn into presidential race. The speaking 586 00:32:24,840 --> 00:32:28,520 Speaker 1: of machinery, you know, the political artillery, if you will. 587 00:32:29,440 --> 00:32:33,240 Speaker 1: Trump has raised hundreds of millions of dollars and obviously 588 00:32:33,240 --> 00:32:37,240 Speaker 1: still has a tremendous amount of ability to get attention 589 00:32:37,280 --> 00:32:42,440 Speaker 1: and push for people. Herschel was his candidate in Georgia. 590 00:32:42,560 --> 00:32:45,840 Speaker 1: Why did we lose Senate control in twenty twenty because 591 00:32:45,840 --> 00:32:49,600 Speaker 1: we lost two, not one, but two Senate seats in 592 00:32:49,680 --> 00:32:52,440 Speaker 1: Georgia and there was a lot of infighting between Trump 593 00:32:52,480 --> 00:32:55,200 Speaker 1: and Kemp at that time, and it wasn't good. A 594 00:32:55,240 --> 00:32:57,520 Speaker 1: lot of the twenty twenty it was stolen stuff, whatever 595 00:32:57,600 --> 00:33:00,880 Speaker 1: wasn't good in Georgia. We may be facing a second 596 00:33:00,920 --> 00:33:04,840 Speaker 1: time where there will be a Trump backed candidate in Georgia. 597 00:33:04,880 --> 00:33:09,520 Speaker 1: Who is the difference between Democrat Senate control and Republican 598 00:33:09,640 --> 00:33:12,959 Speaker 1: Senate control. How that shakes out, I think is going 599 00:33:13,000 --> 00:33:14,800 Speaker 1: to have a big impact in a lot of people's 600 00:33:14,840 --> 00:33:17,520 Speaker 1: minds on what the future is of the Republican Party 601 00:33:17,560 --> 00:33:19,720 Speaker 1: and its leadership. Yeah, and I think the Trump people 602 00:33:19,720 --> 00:33:21,480 Speaker 1: are going to have to make a real decision because 603 00:33:21,520 --> 00:33:23,160 Speaker 1: the plan right now, and you heard Trump on this 604 00:33:23,160 --> 00:33:26,400 Speaker 1: show yesterday, the plan right now is I still believe 605 00:33:26,400 --> 00:33:28,120 Speaker 1: for Trump to announce that he's going to run for 606 00:33:28,160 --> 00:33:32,040 Speaker 1: reelection in twenty twenty four in on Tuesday of next week, 607 00:33:32,120 --> 00:33:34,240 Speaker 1: right the fifteenth. I think they should delay it, and 608 00:33:34,560 --> 00:33:36,600 Speaker 1: I think it should be I'm just gonna put this 609 00:33:36,640 --> 00:33:39,240 Speaker 1: out there, and you and I you know, we know 610 00:33:39,320 --> 00:33:43,240 Speaker 1: the Trump people, we know Trump. They should delay the announcement. 611 00:33:43,480 --> 00:33:47,280 Speaker 1: And it is all hands on deck to win that 612 00:33:47,360 --> 00:33:50,120 Speaker 1: Georgia runoff again. So we don't even you know, is 613 00:33:50,120 --> 00:33:52,760 Speaker 1: it going to be the decider. We don't know Nevada yet, 614 00:33:52,760 --> 00:33:54,960 Speaker 1: we don't know Arizona. The Arizona is not looking good. 615 00:33:55,280 --> 00:33:57,000 Speaker 1: But the focus for the next month needs to be 616 00:33:57,080 --> 00:34:00,120 Speaker 1: on winning that Georgia's seat. And if Trump announces, it's 617 00:34:00,120 --> 00:34:02,040 Speaker 1: going to be a repeat of what happened in the 618 00:34:02,080 --> 00:34:06,320 Speaker 1: twenty twenty runoff, where Trump is the focus in the 619 00:34:06,360 --> 00:34:09,600 Speaker 1: state of Georgia as opposed to what should have been 620 00:34:09,640 --> 00:34:12,440 Speaker 1: the pitch last time right. Biden has a round to 621 00:34:12,520 --> 00:34:17,160 Speaker 1: forty percent approval rate rating. In Georgia, Brian Kemp beat 622 00:34:17,200 --> 00:34:21,360 Speaker 1: Stacy Abrams by roughly nine points in this Governor's We 623 00:34:21,360 --> 00:34:24,319 Speaker 1: talked about this, we were getting anecdotal ticket splitting ended 624 00:34:24,360 --> 00:34:27,239 Speaker 1: up being huge in Georgia. A ton of you, maybe 625 00:34:27,239 --> 00:34:29,239 Speaker 1: some of you listening right now, they were telling us 626 00:34:29,360 --> 00:34:31,560 Speaker 1: split and I didn't think it would be I thought 627 00:34:31,600 --> 00:34:34,319 Speaker 1: maybe four or five points maybe in a split, which 628 00:34:34,320 --> 00:34:36,279 Speaker 1: meant that I thought Herschel would win by four or 629 00:34:36,280 --> 00:34:38,560 Speaker 1: five and Camp would win by nine. I was wrong. 630 00:34:38,960 --> 00:34:40,719 Speaker 1: I'm just gonna I mean if I don't want to 631 00:34:40,719 --> 00:34:43,440 Speaker 1: speak for you, but you were very emotionally invested in 632 00:34:43,480 --> 00:34:46,560 Speaker 1: the Herschel race. I was very emotionally invested in the 633 00:34:46,640 --> 00:34:49,240 Speaker 1: Lee's Elden race. And you know, it's tough when you're 634 00:34:49,520 --> 00:34:52,520 Speaker 1: when you get fired up like that, when that becomes 635 00:34:52,520 --> 00:34:56,000 Speaker 1: the sort of the quarterback of your home team to 636 00:34:56,120 --> 00:34:58,800 Speaker 1: necessarily see all these you know, with Lee, I really 637 00:34:58,800 --> 00:35:01,000 Speaker 1: thought the polls had to I just, I mean, Kathy 638 00:35:01,080 --> 00:35:03,600 Speaker 1: Hocle's the dumbest person in America. I just can't handle 639 00:35:03,600 --> 00:35:06,279 Speaker 1: the New Yorkers. What are you doing well, That's what's 640 00:35:06,280 --> 00:35:10,240 Speaker 1: so frustrating to me in general, buck Is, and again, 641 00:35:10,280 --> 00:35:11,520 Speaker 1: I think you just have to come back to a 642 00:35:11,520 --> 00:35:13,759 Speaker 1: war in trench warfare, and it's going to be really 643 00:35:13,800 --> 00:35:15,440 Speaker 1: hard to break out of it, and you need to 644 00:35:15,480 --> 00:35:17,319 Speaker 1: be thinking about who can do it and how do 645 00:35:17,360 --> 00:35:21,360 Speaker 1: you do it, because we've now had multiple election cycles 646 00:35:21,520 --> 00:35:24,560 Speaker 1: where what is happening in the country really doesn't matter. 647 00:35:24,600 --> 00:35:28,640 Speaker 1: And objectively, I just don't understand how anyone can look 648 00:35:28,680 --> 00:35:31,839 Speaker 1: at what Joe Biden is doing and say I want 649 00:35:31,880 --> 00:35:35,960 Speaker 1: to vote for more of this Democrat, Republican, independent, whoever 650 00:35:36,000 --> 00:35:39,520 Speaker 1: you are. Why do you want America to be weakened 651 00:35:39,600 --> 00:35:44,080 Speaker 1: and in such awful condition? And yet Americans basically, even 652 00:35:44,120 --> 00:35:46,680 Speaker 1: though seventy five percent of them Bucks said they're unhappy 653 00:35:46,680 --> 00:35:49,440 Speaker 1: and things are not going well, essentially voted to the 654 00:35:49,480 --> 00:35:51,759 Speaker 1: status quo. And there was and this was a criticism, 655 00:35:51,760 --> 00:35:54,200 Speaker 1: and this was a fair criticism of the GOP going 656 00:35:54,200 --> 00:35:56,600 Speaker 1: into this because what we said, I stand behind it. 657 00:35:56,600 --> 00:35:59,040 Speaker 1: One hundred percent. Democrats thought they were going to lose 658 00:35:59,040 --> 00:36:01,359 Speaker 1: two to be clear, so it wasn't there's a lot 659 00:36:01,440 --> 00:36:04,200 Speaker 1: less ha ha because the Democrats last night we're saying, 660 00:36:04,239 --> 00:36:07,399 Speaker 1: oh my gosh, this red wave is gonna crush us. 661 00:36:06,400 --> 00:36:09,360 Speaker 1: They thought they were gonna get smoked too, So that 662 00:36:09,920 --> 00:36:13,040 Speaker 1: both sides that this is why my friend's consensus. It's 663 00:36:13,080 --> 00:36:17,239 Speaker 1: not science and it's not certain in politics either, but 664 00:36:17,280 --> 00:36:19,759 Speaker 1: the Democrats were expecting this. Clay, we look at the 665 00:36:19,840 --> 00:36:24,320 Speaker 1: situation right now where what was the Republican message of 666 00:36:24,800 --> 00:36:28,000 Speaker 1: how we're going to make things better? That was This 667 00:36:28,080 --> 00:36:30,960 Speaker 1: was a fair criticism of the GOP going in this midterm. 668 00:36:31,040 --> 00:36:32,360 Speaker 1: Now you could say, oh, but they're not going to 669 00:36:32,440 --> 00:36:35,320 Speaker 1: be in charge and Joe Biden's a president. People still 670 00:36:35,360 --> 00:36:38,640 Speaker 1: need to hear not just how much stuff sucks, but 671 00:36:38,719 --> 00:36:40,680 Speaker 1: how you're gonna make it unsung, how you're going to 672 00:36:40,760 --> 00:36:43,680 Speaker 1: improve things, how you're gonna make it better. And that's 673 00:36:43,719 --> 00:36:45,760 Speaker 1: going to be I think a huge piece going forward 674 00:36:46,000 --> 00:36:49,920 Speaker 1: for the GOP because my friend's election season is starting 675 00:36:49,960 --> 00:36:52,319 Speaker 1: again right now because of the way the politics have 676 00:36:52,400 --> 00:36:53,000 Speaker 1: lined up here
