1 00:00:00,840 --> 00:00:05,080 Speaker 1: Welcome back in Clay Travis buck Sexton show. We are 2 00:00:05,160 --> 00:00:10,119 Speaker 1: rolling through the Thursday edition of the program. Big story 3 00:00:10,200 --> 00:00:14,600 Speaker 1: right now is that the FAA is looking to reduce 4 00:00:14,720 --> 00:00:21,120 Speaker 1: air traffic by ten percent at forty different airports. CNN 5 00:00:21,239 --> 00:00:26,239 Speaker 1: says the Trump administration is considering a four percent cut 6 00:00:26,320 --> 00:00:31,400 Speaker 1: overall in the number of flights. This is potentially going 7 00:00:31,480 --> 00:00:34,479 Speaker 1: to be the thing that gets the government shut down fixed, Buck, 8 00:00:34,600 --> 00:00:38,040 Speaker 1: I think is when a lot of so called normal 9 00:00:38,080 --> 00:00:41,040 Speaker 1: people trying to go about their day to day existence 10 00:00:41,080 --> 00:00:44,199 Speaker 1: show up at the airport and can't manage to go anywhere. 11 00:00:44,280 --> 00:00:48,080 Speaker 1: To say nothing of Buck, the fact that Thanksgiving is 12 00:00:48,120 --> 00:00:53,120 Speaker 1: typically the busiest travel time of the year. Basically, I 13 00:00:53,159 --> 00:00:56,200 Speaker 1: know Christmas travel season is substantial as well, but there 14 00:00:56,200 --> 00:01:00,760 Speaker 1: are more days that people travel on for holiday travel 15 00:01:00,800 --> 00:01:05,440 Speaker 1: around Christmas. The Thanksgiving holiday is more compact, as makes sense, 16 00:01:06,000 --> 00:01:09,080 Speaker 1: and so I would just say, in general, put a 17 00:01:09,120 --> 00:01:11,760 Speaker 1: safety pen in this. If you, like me, are going 18 00:01:11,800 --> 00:01:15,080 Speaker 1: to be traveling tomorrow, I would say, be hitting refreshed 19 00:01:15,160 --> 00:01:17,920 Speaker 1: quite frequently to see what might or might not be 20 00:01:18,040 --> 00:01:21,120 Speaker 1: happening with your air travel. And I don't know about you, Buck, 21 00:01:21,520 --> 00:01:24,399 Speaker 1: If I didn't have to travel, if I'm out there 22 00:01:24,440 --> 00:01:26,880 Speaker 1: and I'm like, hey, I'm thinking about taking this trip, 23 00:01:26,920 --> 00:01:29,080 Speaker 1: but maybe it makes sense to go another I would 24 00:01:29,160 --> 00:01:34,080 Speaker 1: cancel it. I just there's nothing worse than being stuck 25 00:01:34,280 --> 00:01:37,680 Speaker 1: in a place that you don't want to be, waiting 26 00:01:37,720 --> 00:01:39,520 Speaker 1: to see whether you're going to be able to get 27 00:01:39,560 --> 00:01:42,800 Speaker 1: on an airplane or not. Hotels fill up, you can't 28 00:01:43,319 --> 00:01:45,600 Speaker 1: have to consider, especially if you have kids, you have 29 00:01:45,680 --> 00:01:48,840 Speaker 1: to consider trying to sleep somewhere that you don't want 30 00:01:48,880 --> 00:01:51,880 Speaker 1: to be. Inevitably, for all of you have had this happen. 31 00:01:52,200 --> 00:01:54,680 Speaker 1: If you have an evening flight, they try to schedule 32 00:01:54,760 --> 00:01:57,560 Speaker 1: you for a flight at five thirty in the morning 33 00:01:57,680 --> 00:02:00,760 Speaker 1: or something, so they don't tell you you're flights canceled 34 00:02:00,800 --> 00:02:02,680 Speaker 1: till eleven, and then you got to be back in 35 00:02:02,720 --> 00:02:06,520 Speaker 1: like three or four hours. Everybody's miserable. I'm already nervous 36 00:02:06,520 --> 00:02:08,720 Speaker 1: about being able to get out of here tomorrow. But 37 00:02:08,840 --> 00:02:12,840 Speaker 1: this is the lead story right now on Fox News, MSNBC, 38 00:02:13,240 --> 00:02:18,440 Speaker 1: and CNN. Everybody is covering the potential airport related issues. 39 00:02:18,560 --> 00:02:21,120 Speaker 1: So I want to update you on all of that, 40 00:02:21,400 --> 00:02:24,600 Speaker 1: just make you aware of it as it could continue 41 00:02:24,639 --> 00:02:28,239 Speaker 1: to be an issue going forward. We are continuing to 42 00:02:28,400 --> 00:02:30,639 Speaker 1: break down what happened on Tuesday. We got a bunch 43 00:02:30,680 --> 00:02:32,320 Speaker 1: of you who want to weigh in. We'll take some 44 00:02:32,440 --> 00:02:34,880 Speaker 1: of your calls. I would like to say thank you 45 00:02:34,919 --> 00:02:37,119 Speaker 1: to everybody who has been buying my book. It came 46 00:02:37,120 --> 00:02:39,720 Speaker 1: out two days ago. We got a call Bucks saying 47 00:02:39,760 --> 00:02:42,799 Speaker 1: we have been flagged to be surveyed by the New 48 00:02:42,880 --> 00:02:46,360 Speaker 1: York Times, which has never happened before. So if you 49 00:02:46,440 --> 00:02:49,080 Speaker 1: guys will continue, please to go buy the book. I 50 00:02:49,080 --> 00:02:50,480 Speaker 1: think we got a good shot to get on the 51 00:02:50,480 --> 00:02:51,960 Speaker 1: New York Times bestseller list. 52 00:02:52,400 --> 00:02:54,400 Speaker 2: It's really in your best interest to have a copy 53 00:02:54,400 --> 00:02:54,880 Speaker 2: of Balls. 54 00:02:56,360 --> 00:02:59,040 Speaker 1: And if you know somebody who doesn't have Balls, it's 55 00:02:59,080 --> 00:03:01,560 Speaker 1: a great Christmas game. Have to just say, hey, got 56 00:03:01,639 --> 00:03:05,639 Speaker 1: you a pair of balls for Christmas. But in all seriousness, 57 00:03:05,680 --> 00:03:08,200 Speaker 1: I think you'll enjoy it. I also read it Buck 58 00:03:08,240 --> 00:03:10,679 Speaker 1: you were saying part of your Christmas break is now 59 00:03:10,720 --> 00:03:14,440 Speaker 1: going to be spent. I looked at my reading of 60 00:03:14,480 --> 00:03:18,160 Speaker 1: the book is over six hours. Now, that probably double 61 00:03:18,680 --> 00:03:20,760 Speaker 1: the amount of time that it took at least to 62 00:03:20,840 --> 00:03:24,280 Speaker 1: make a six hour recording. You got three days scheduled 63 00:03:24,280 --> 00:03:26,400 Speaker 1: in the recording studio. Is that what you've got right now? 64 00:03:27,360 --> 00:03:30,840 Speaker 2: Yes? Indeed, yes, indeed, Oh oh, Bucket's Christmas. Think about 65 00:03:30,880 --> 00:03:34,520 Speaker 2: family in Santa and trees and all that good stuff, 66 00:03:34,600 --> 00:03:39,080 Speaker 2: and you'll tied cheer and three days in your home 67 00:03:39,200 --> 00:03:42,320 Speaker 2: radio studio recording the book that you took two years 68 00:03:42,360 --> 00:03:47,000 Speaker 2: to write. The things we do for content, my friends, 69 00:03:47,040 --> 00:03:48,680 Speaker 2: the things we do to bring you the. 70 00:03:48,600 --> 00:03:52,920 Speaker 1: Best, and you have to be shameless. I was on 71 00:03:53,000 --> 00:03:55,840 Speaker 1: Glenn Beck earlier. Thank you for Glenn Beck. I've been 72 00:03:55,880 --> 00:03:57,760 Speaker 1: on Fox News all over the place. I'm gonna be 73 00:03:57,840 --> 00:04:02,520 Speaker 1: on with Sean Hannity tonight and so anything on his 74 00:04:02,640 --> 00:04:05,720 Speaker 1: radio show. I was on Sean Hannity last night. If 75 00:04:05,720 --> 00:04:08,600 Speaker 1: you guys would please go by at Amazon Clay Travis 76 00:04:08,640 --> 00:04:12,680 Speaker 1: type it in the book comes up. I deeply appreciate it. Okay, 77 00:04:13,240 --> 00:04:15,560 Speaker 1: we didn't play Sean. You said he's a sports guy. 78 00:04:15,680 --> 00:04:18,279 Speaker 1: Is he a see Yankees are a Mets guy? Or 79 00:04:18,279 --> 00:04:20,400 Speaker 1: does he stay out of that because that can get contentious. 80 00:04:20,480 --> 00:04:23,320 Speaker 1: That's a great question. I don't know what his actual 81 00:04:23,400 --> 00:04:26,400 Speaker 1: sports team affiliations are. I mean he lived there or 82 00:04:26,440 --> 00:04:29,040 Speaker 1: has he gone full Florida like now. I guess I'm 83 00:04:29,040 --> 00:04:32,000 Speaker 1: supposed to root for the Miami Heat, which still feels 84 00:04:32,040 --> 00:04:35,400 Speaker 1: like cheating given the Heat Nicks rivalries of the past. 85 00:04:35,480 --> 00:04:36,200 Speaker 2: But here we are. 86 00:04:36,279 --> 00:04:39,720 Speaker 1: Yeah, and unfortunately, the Miami Dolphins are not a NFL 87 00:04:39,760 --> 00:04:43,000 Speaker 1: franchise that anybody wants to be rooting for right now. 88 00:04:43,040 --> 00:04:45,080 Speaker 2: They're kind of a mess. What a lab were they? 89 00:04:45,200 --> 00:04:47,120 Speaker 2: This was the last time they were good with Dan Marino. 90 00:04:47,160 --> 00:04:48,760 Speaker 2: I mean, we have to go back to the nineties. 91 00:04:48,800 --> 00:04:49,440 Speaker 2: That's rough. 92 00:04:49,640 --> 00:04:52,800 Speaker 1: They have not found a quarterback basically in thirty years 93 00:04:52,920 --> 00:04:56,240 Speaker 1: since Dan Marino, and every Miami Dolphins game you go to, 94 00:04:56,400 --> 00:04:59,839 Speaker 1: there's a guy in the number thirteen Dan Marino jersey. 95 00:05:00,560 --> 00:05:02,080 Speaker 1: Still it doesn't. 96 00:05:02,120 --> 00:05:05,039 Speaker 2: But it's also not really the Miami Dolphin's fault because 97 00:05:05,040 --> 00:05:07,840 Speaker 2: the Laces were Out. You know what movie they would 98 00:05:07,880 --> 00:05:10,080 Speaker 2: never allow to be made today, and certainly they would 99 00:05:10,080 --> 00:05:13,560 Speaker 2: never allow it to be sponsored by the NFL. Ace 100 00:05:13,640 --> 00:05:17,320 Speaker 2: Ventura speaking of Laces Out, Oh yeah, that movie I 101 00:05:17,360 --> 00:05:19,040 Speaker 2: watched with my kids. They loved it. 102 00:05:19,400 --> 00:05:21,720 Speaker 1: But it had Dan Marino in it, It had Don 103 00:05:21,800 --> 00:05:24,760 Speaker 1: Shula in it, and the bad guy, which would never 104 00:05:24,800 --> 00:05:28,600 Speaker 1: be allowed today spoiler alert, was actually a man pretending 105 00:05:28,680 --> 00:05:32,440 Speaker 1: to be a woman. Finkel is Einhorn if you remember 106 00:05:32,520 --> 00:05:36,560 Speaker 1: the Einhorn is Finkle if you remember that Memorable. 107 00:05:36,880 --> 00:05:40,960 Speaker 2: Discoveries play The soundtrack from the Crying Game When the 108 00:05:41,000 --> 00:05:46,000 Speaker 2: Revelation Happened, which is another movie about a lady with 109 00:05:46,040 --> 00:05:51,000 Speaker 2: a man surprise, and that would never ever be allowed 110 00:05:51,040 --> 00:05:53,240 Speaker 2: to be made these days, that's for sure. I just 111 00:05:53,360 --> 00:05:56,000 Speaker 2: loved the idea of if the NFL were involved in 112 00:05:56,040 --> 00:05:58,360 Speaker 2: a movie that was considered in any way. By the way, 113 00:05:58,400 --> 00:06:01,640 Speaker 2: this was what ninety four ninety something like that. I mean, 114 00:06:01,680 --> 00:06:05,680 Speaker 2: it wasn't that long ago, and I'm surprised they still 115 00:06:05,720 --> 00:06:08,560 Speaker 2: air it. You know, they have to give trigger warnings 116 00:06:08,560 --> 00:06:11,200 Speaker 2: now before all different sorts of Disney movies. I would 117 00:06:11,240 --> 00:06:15,039 Speaker 2: imagine their trigger warnings on this thing, probably many different places, 118 00:06:15,640 --> 00:06:18,039 Speaker 2: and many of you are triggered in the New York 119 00:06:18,080 --> 00:06:21,640 Speaker 2: City era area. I wanted to play this buck because 120 00:06:22,160 --> 00:06:24,039 Speaker 2: I flagged it yesterday and we didn't get to it. 121 00:06:24,080 --> 00:06:27,040 Speaker 2: We didn't play very much of Mom Donnie's victory speech 122 00:06:27,440 --> 00:06:29,279 Speaker 2: because I didn't want to make all of you throw up. 123 00:06:29,640 --> 00:06:32,800 Speaker 2: But I did think this was a really kind of 124 00:06:33,000 --> 00:06:38,000 Speaker 2: useful contrast. First, let's go back to nineteen eighty six. 125 00:06:38,680 --> 00:06:44,200 Speaker 2: President Ronald Reagan said his nine most terrifying words were 126 00:06:44,440 --> 00:06:45,960 Speaker 2: as follows cut twenty. 127 00:06:46,120 --> 00:06:49,479 Speaker 3: I think you all know that I've always felt the 128 00:06:49,600 --> 00:06:53,640 Speaker 3: nine most terrifying words in the English language are I'm 129 00:06:53,680 --> 00:06:55,560 Speaker 3: from the government and I'm here to help. 130 00:06:56,920 --> 00:07:02,799 Speaker 1: Okay, well known Reagan line. Here is what Mamdanni said 131 00:07:02,920 --> 00:07:06,920 Speaker 1: last night, which is a direct repudiation of that iconic 132 00:07:07,000 --> 00:07:10,080 Speaker 1: Ronald Reagan line, and it is cut nineteen. 133 00:07:10,560 --> 00:07:13,800 Speaker 4: We will prove that there is no problem too large 134 00:07:13,840 --> 00:07:17,520 Speaker 4: for government to solve and no concern too small for 135 00:07:17,600 --> 00:07:18,480 Speaker 4: it to care about. 136 00:07:19,320 --> 00:07:23,240 Speaker 2: This is just like he distilled in essence my worst nightmare. Buck. 137 00:07:23,440 --> 00:07:25,360 Speaker 1: Let's play that one more time so you guys can 138 00:07:25,400 --> 00:07:28,920 Speaker 1: hear it. I mean, because it is a director repudiation 139 00:07:29,520 --> 00:07:32,520 Speaker 1: of what Reagan said, cut nineteen. This is my concern 140 00:07:32,560 --> 00:07:35,080 Speaker 1: about New York City. Do you think the government handles 141 00:07:35,080 --> 00:07:38,160 Speaker 1: anything well, Mamdanni says, they want to do everything for you. 142 00:07:38,640 --> 00:07:41,840 Speaker 4: We will prove that there is no problem too large 143 00:07:41,880 --> 00:07:45,560 Speaker 4: for government to solve and no concern too small for 144 00:07:45,640 --> 00:07:47,760 Speaker 4: it to care about. 145 00:07:48,200 --> 00:07:48,920 Speaker 5: This is awful. 146 00:07:50,200 --> 00:07:51,680 Speaker 1: I think that I read a big piece in the 147 00:07:51,680 --> 00:07:55,200 Speaker 1: New York Times. They had their biographical sketch of Mamdanni 148 00:07:55,280 --> 00:07:59,120 Speaker 1: and his campaign, thousands of words. I read it this morning. 149 00:07:59,640 --> 00:08:02,200 Speaker 1: The only thing I can say about mont Donnie is 150 00:08:02,360 --> 00:08:05,360 Speaker 1: the hope is that he just is going to abandon 151 00:08:05,440 --> 00:08:07,920 Speaker 1: trying to deliver on the vast majority of the things 152 00:08:07,920 --> 00:08:08,840 Speaker 1: that he claimed he was going. 153 00:08:08,840 --> 00:08:13,480 Speaker 2: To deliver on. Yeah, I bes scenario. 154 00:08:13,720 --> 00:08:14,160 Speaker 6: That's bad. 155 00:08:14,240 --> 00:08:17,120 Speaker 2: I wish I could say something better about how I 156 00:08:17,120 --> 00:08:20,200 Speaker 2: think this is likely to go. I also, you're not 157 00:08:20,240 --> 00:08:24,040 Speaker 2: going to see the huge outflow from New York uh. 158 00:08:24,080 --> 00:08:27,800 Speaker 2: And I think that's largely because if COVID didn't drive 159 00:08:27,800 --> 00:08:29,360 Speaker 2: you out of New York City, I don't think Mom 160 00:08:29,400 --> 00:08:32,120 Speaker 2: Donny will. And now that may be also because people 161 00:08:32,160 --> 00:08:34,760 Speaker 2: are rooted there in ways that even if they wanted 162 00:08:34,760 --> 00:08:36,200 Speaker 2: to leave, it's really hard. You know, they got their 163 00:08:36,240 --> 00:08:38,600 Speaker 2: kids in school, their job, their family, and I get 164 00:08:38,600 --> 00:08:42,240 Speaker 2: that moving is not as easy as I happen to 165 00:08:42,240 --> 00:08:45,440 Speaker 2: be at a place in life where not only did 166 00:08:45,480 --> 00:08:47,840 Speaker 2: I want to move, but I had my then fiance 167 00:08:48,160 --> 00:08:50,760 Speaker 2: who was also like, let's move to Florida, and it 168 00:08:50,800 --> 00:08:53,080 Speaker 2: was all it all felt, It all came together a 169 00:08:53,080 --> 00:08:55,520 Speaker 2: lot of people. It's more complicated than that. This matters though, 170 00:08:55,520 --> 00:08:59,400 Speaker 2: for the budget of New York City because a very 171 00:08:59,440 --> 00:09:03,920 Speaker 2: small person it really actually mirrors the national tax reality, 172 00:09:04,440 --> 00:09:06,959 Speaker 2: which is that one percent of New Yorkers pay fifty 173 00:09:07,000 --> 00:09:09,880 Speaker 2: percent of the taxes, and you can break it down 174 00:09:09,880 --> 00:09:15,920 Speaker 2: even further. Point zero one percent of New Yorkers pay 175 00:09:15,960 --> 00:09:18,600 Speaker 2: a shockingly large I don't know what the figure is, 176 00:09:18,640 --> 00:09:22,679 Speaker 2: but a shockingly large amount of New York City's taxes. 177 00:09:22,720 --> 00:09:25,400 Speaker 2: So it's not just the high earners, it's really the 178 00:09:25,520 --> 00:09:30,240 Speaker 2: ultra high earners. And so all the complaining about millionaires 179 00:09:30,240 --> 00:09:33,719 Speaker 2: and billionaires of Bernie Sanders and others do without their 180 00:09:33,800 --> 00:09:39,480 Speaker 2: earnings two tax you can't have the socialism that these 181 00:09:39,520 --> 00:09:43,480 Speaker 2: people are advocating for. So there we have it. Man, 182 00:09:43,480 --> 00:09:45,440 Speaker 2: they're gonna learn. I think they're gonna learn the hard 183 00:09:45,440 --> 00:09:48,960 Speaker 2: way about New York or about Mum Donny rather in 184 00:09:49,000 --> 00:09:53,600 Speaker 2: New York. This was also interesting. This has cut seventeen. 185 00:09:53,679 --> 00:09:58,160 Speaker 2: He very clearly from his victory speech here made this 186 00:09:58,640 --> 00:09:59,800 Speaker 2: about Trump Place. 187 00:10:00,559 --> 00:10:04,000 Speaker 4: If anyone can show a nation betrayed by Donald Trump 188 00:10:04,320 --> 00:10:07,000 Speaker 4: how to defeat him, it is the city that gave 189 00:10:07,120 --> 00:10:14,439 Speaker 4: rise to him. And if there is any way to 190 00:10:14,640 --> 00:10:19,040 Speaker 4: terrify a despot, it is by dismantling the very conditions 191 00:10:19,160 --> 00:10:25,839 Speaker 4: that allowed him to accumulate power. This is not only 192 00:10:25,880 --> 00:10:33,080 Speaker 4: how we stop Trump, it's how we stop the next one. So, 193 00:10:33,240 --> 00:10:39,240 Speaker 4: Donald Trump, since I know you're watching, I have four 194 00:10:39,559 --> 00:10:43,600 Speaker 4: words for you turn the volume up. 195 00:10:46,400 --> 00:10:48,800 Speaker 2: This will all look very funny in retrospect when this 196 00:10:48,840 --> 00:10:51,800 Speaker 2: guy has made a complete mess of New York and 197 00:10:52,000 --> 00:10:53,800 Speaker 2: is a joke, and everyone realizes that he has no 198 00:10:53,840 --> 00:10:56,240 Speaker 2: idea what he's doing. Because that's what's happened in every 199 00:10:56,920 --> 00:10:59,680 Speaker 2: city that elects some super progressive you end up with 200 00:10:59,720 --> 00:11:02,880 Speaker 2: someone like who's the mayor Frey who just won and 201 00:11:03,320 --> 00:11:08,479 Speaker 2: again barely he had barely Mineapoli. Yeah, the guy was crying. 202 00:11:08,160 --> 00:11:10,320 Speaker 6: At the casket. He's in tears at the casket of 203 00:11:10,320 --> 00:11:11,000 Speaker 6: George Floyd. 204 00:11:11,520 --> 00:11:16,240 Speaker 2: Uh, the guy such a such an absolute clown. Portland, 205 00:11:16,280 --> 00:11:21,000 Speaker 2: San Francisco, Chicago, all the all these very progressive mayors 206 00:11:21,000 --> 00:11:25,360 Speaker 2: are disasters. They can't point to one who's a real 207 00:11:25,520 --> 00:11:28,679 Speaker 2: lefty and say, well, look at what a great look 208 00:11:28,720 --> 00:11:31,199 Speaker 2: at how awesome that city is going. No, they always 209 00:11:31,240 --> 00:11:32,880 Speaker 2: ruin it. So he's going to make a mess of 210 00:11:32,920 --> 00:11:36,440 Speaker 2: things as well. But I think it's worth noting that 211 00:11:36,480 --> 00:11:38,880 Speaker 2: he's just the mayor of a city, and he somehow 212 00:11:38,920 --> 00:11:42,200 Speaker 2: made this for his audience at least about Trump and 213 00:11:42,240 --> 00:11:44,920 Speaker 2: the fantasyland stuff too. About a despot. 214 00:11:45,280 --> 00:11:48,600 Speaker 6: You know, you wouldn't have crowds of people cheering for you. 215 00:11:48,600 --> 00:11:52,320 Speaker 2: You a little twerp if he was really a despot 216 00:11:52,480 --> 00:11:54,880 Speaker 2: and they were all scared of what the evil king 217 00:11:54,960 --> 00:11:57,080 Speaker 2: would do to you, like they just live in a 218 00:11:57,120 --> 00:11:59,680 Speaker 2: fantasy land. The whole thing is make believe. 219 00:12:00,080 --> 00:12:03,079 Speaker 1: How about Schumer getting asked who he voted for and 220 00:12:03,120 --> 00:12:04,080 Speaker 1: not giving an answer. 221 00:12:05,400 --> 00:12:08,000 Speaker 2: I love that's classic. 222 00:12:07,679 --> 00:12:09,520 Speaker 6: The juck Schumer is. 223 00:12:09,880 --> 00:12:13,320 Speaker 1: I mean, if you just step back and don't overthink it, 224 00:12:13,400 --> 00:12:15,440 Speaker 1: but you just take a step back and think about 225 00:12:15,440 --> 00:12:17,600 Speaker 1: how desperate he must be every day. 226 00:12:18,240 --> 00:12:20,480 Speaker 2: He's what seventy five or whatever the heck he is. 227 00:12:20,679 --> 00:12:24,560 Speaker 1: He should be just comfortably becoming a grandpa. His time 228 00:12:24,640 --> 00:12:28,400 Speaker 1: has passed. He has no resonance at all with his 229 00:12:28,480 --> 00:12:32,920 Speaker 1: current party, and he basically just tries to avoid being 230 00:12:33,000 --> 00:12:35,200 Speaker 1: noticed all the time, despite the fact that he's sent 231 00:12:35,280 --> 00:12:39,560 Speaker 1: it minority leader. And I really think he lives in 232 00:12:39,679 --> 00:12:43,439 Speaker 1: constant fear that AOC is going to decide that she's 233 00:12:43,760 --> 00:12:46,120 Speaker 1: going to primary him, because he'll get smoked in the 234 00:12:46,120 --> 00:12:47,920 Speaker 1: primary and his political career will be over. 235 00:12:49,440 --> 00:12:51,600 Speaker 2: He's going to run for president, I might add, and 236 00:12:52,120 --> 00:12:54,959 Speaker 2: she's going to be I think a top contender for 237 00:12:55,000 --> 00:12:57,160 Speaker 2: the Democrats. I don't think she will win a nomination, 238 00:12:57,720 --> 00:12:59,840 Speaker 2: but you can just see how we've all you and 239 00:12:59,840 --> 00:13:02,680 Speaker 2: I I agree here news at the top of the ticket, 240 00:13:02,760 --> 00:13:05,400 Speaker 2: AOC as the VP, but she's going to make her 241 00:13:05,400 --> 00:13:13,360 Speaker 2: own run, and it's because she represents the real vanguard 242 00:13:13,440 --> 00:13:14,920 Speaker 2: of the Democrat Party today. 243 00:13:15,000 --> 00:13:19,320 Speaker 1: The best option that Chuck Schumer has is actually that AOC. 244 00:13:19,559 --> 00:13:21,920 Speaker 1: The best option is that she doesn't want his job, 245 00:13:22,240 --> 00:13:24,719 Speaker 1: that she thinks his job is not significant enough, so 246 00:13:24,760 --> 00:13:26,720 Speaker 1: she's going for the big prize.

Donald Trump voters vote for him 317 00:17:06,560 --> 00:17:11,000 Speaker 8: because he makes promises. He makes clear what his issues 318 00:17:11,080 --> 00:17:13,480 Speaker 8: and his policies will be, and he does his very 319 00:17:13,560 --> 00:17:17,080 Speaker 8: best to try and keep his promise. The Republican Party 320 00:17:17,200 --> 00:17:22,240 Speaker 8: repeatedly doesn't keep their promises. Democrats come in with a majority, 321 00:17:22,840 --> 00:17:25,520 Speaker 8: even though a small one. They can bring some Republicans 322 00:17:25,560 --> 00:17:28,720 Speaker 8: over to vote and get things done for their issues. 323 00:17:29,160 --> 00:17:32,760 Speaker 8: Republicans get in and then they can't bring voter They 324 00:17:32,800 --> 00:17:37,080 Speaker 8: cannot bring votes over from the Democrats to do anything. 325 00:17:37,920 --> 00:17:40,920 Speaker 1: Okay, I Betty, I think there's a lot of people 326 00:17:40,960 --> 00:17:44,240 Speaker 1: out there nodding along.

This goes to the essence of 328 00:17:46,240 --> 00:17:48,879 Speaker 1: what Trump is saying when he says repeal the filibuster. 329 00:17:49,400 --> 00:17:52,200 Speaker 1: Trump is fed up because we have majorities. The problem 330 00:17:52,320 --> 00:17:56,080 Speaker 1: is we don't have substantial enough majorities, according to Republican leaders, 331 00:17:56,160 --> 00:17:57,800 Speaker 1: to really enact substantial change. 332 00:17:59,240 --> 00:18:01,080 Speaker 2: When the Good ranch us your steaks come out of 333 00:18:01,119 --> 00:18:04,440 Speaker 2: the freezer at our house, it's game time.

We will even fly to New York at 368 00:20:06,720 --> 00:20:07,400 Speaker 2: our own expense. 369 00:20:08,040 --> 00:20:10,159 Speaker 6: We will put ourselves up. They don't even have to. 370 00:20:10,320 --> 00:20:12,240 Speaker 2: They don't have to do anything for us other than 371 00:20:12,880 --> 00:20:15,800 Speaker 2: open the doors and leave a spot on the couch 372 00:20:16,240 --> 00:20:19,320 Speaker 2: or two. Two spots would be nice, and we will 373 00:20:19,600 --> 00:20:23,080 Speaker 2: enlighten the ladies of the View and their audience and 374 00:20:23,240 --> 00:20:27,800 Speaker 2: also light up their ratings. But they seem unwilling so far. 375 00:20:27,960 --> 00:20:30,600 Speaker 2: They seem like they're not up for it. Sunny Austin 376 00:20:30,680 --> 00:20:35,159 Speaker 2: though certainly the most bitter member of the View, and 377 00:20:35,280 --> 00:20:39,840 Speaker 2: that is pretty much universally understood by Democrats and Republicans. 378 00:20:40,080 --> 00:20:45,040 Speaker 2: Here she is with the takeaway she had from the elections. 379 00:20:45,119 --> 00:20:46,399 Speaker 2: This is cut ten play it. 380 00:20:46,640 --> 00:20:48,399 Speaker 10: I don't think enough people are talking about. Is what 381 00:20:48,480 --> 00:20:50,040 Speaker 10: happened in California with Prop fifty. 382 00:20:50,119 --> 00:20:51,880 Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, yeah. 383 00:20:51,960 --> 00:20:56,080 Speaker 10: That for me was a huge, huge takeaway because that 384 00:20:56,359 --> 00:21:00,639 Speaker 10: is the roadmap for how Democrats become the opposition. You 385 00:21:00,840 --> 00:21:04,159 Speaker 10: meet energy with energy. When they go low, you go lower. 386 00:21:04,480 --> 00:21:05,560 Speaker 10: I am sorry, but that. 387 00:21:05,720 --> 00:21:06,560 Speaker 5: Is where we are now. 388 00:21:06,640 --> 00:21:09,400 Speaker 10: We meet that opposition, and I think we saw that last. 389 00:21:09,280 --> 00:21:13,080 Speaker 6: Night, she's straight up saying she said it. 390 00:21:13,160 --> 00:21:17,359 Speaker 2: You heard her. When they go low, you go lower. 391 00:21:18,440 --> 00:21:25,680 Speaker 2: Now understand, this is in the context of redistricting. Okay, 392 00:21:25,920 --> 00:21:29,280 Speaker 2: this is not something you generally think of as the 393 00:21:29,400 --> 00:21:35,719 Speaker 2: dirtiest part of politics. It's definitely politics, but there's much 394 00:21:35,880 --> 00:21:39,040 Speaker 2: nastier stuff going on. I would just add though, that 395 00:21:39,560 --> 00:21:42,600 Speaker 2: we're all paying attention to this, and we see that democrats. 396 00:21:43,119 --> 00:21:48,920 Speaker 2: Democrats have been more aggressive and more ruthless about jerrymandering 397 00:21:49,720 --> 00:21:53,480 Speaker 2: all along, and now they're trying to squeeze out the 398 00:21:53,680 --> 00:21:56,480 Speaker 2: very last bits of political advantage they can from it. 399 00:21:57,400 --> 00:22:01,560 Speaker 2: And Republicans are not going to have a second thought 400 00:22:01,760 --> 00:22:07,000 Speaker 2: where at least they're in charge about doing things the 401 00:22:07,040 --> 00:22:11,040 Speaker 2: way they need to notice, though, why is it low? 402 00:22:11,400 --> 00:22:14,200 Speaker 2: It's low for us to redistrict, but it's you know, 403 00:22:14,760 --> 00:22:15,320 Speaker 2: in what way? 404 00:22:16,400 --> 00:22:17,240 Speaker 6: How is that going? 405 00:22:17,520 --> 00:22:17,639 Speaker 8: Well? 406 00:22:17,720 --> 00:22:19,680 Speaker 6: How did we go low? They were doing? 407 00:22:20,000 --> 00:22:21,960 Speaker 2: This is such a common thing with Democrats, Like we 408 00:22:22,000 --> 00:22:25,280 Speaker 2: said about the filibuster, about so many things. Oh my gosh, 409 00:22:25,640 --> 00:22:28,440 Speaker 2: if you prosecute some of the people who prosecuted Trump, 410 00:22:29,000 --> 00:22:32,240 Speaker 2: next time around, they may try to prosecute Trump. They're 411 00:22:32,359 --> 00:22:36,560 Speaker 2: they're forgetting chicken an egg here you know, which came first, 412 00:22:36,760 --> 00:22:40,000 Speaker 2: cause and effect. They already did this stuff that they're 413 00:22:40,040 --> 00:22:42,440 Speaker 2: telling us we should be worried about them doing in 414 00:22:42,560 --> 00:22:45,639 Speaker 2: the future. So that's not a very compelling argument. 415 00:22:45,880 --> 00:22:47,120 Speaker 6: You know, you bet. 416 00:22:47,280 --> 00:22:49,800 Speaker 2: You know, if you slap someone in the face and 417 00:22:50,240 --> 00:22:52,480 Speaker 2: they're about to slap you back, it's tough to say, 418 00:22:52,600 --> 00:22:54,159 Speaker 2: you better not do that, or I'll slap you in 419 00:22:54,200 --> 00:22:58,920 Speaker 2: the face. Well, that already happened, and with the redistricting, 420 00:22:59,400 --> 00:23:03,040 Speaker 2: Democrats have been doing this. But this is one of 421 00:23:03,160 --> 00:23:05,879 Speaker 2: This is the cognitive dissonance. This is what is necessary, 422 00:23:06,000 --> 00:23:11,320 Speaker 2: the emotional over the rational that is a centerpiece of 423 00:23:11,840 --> 00:23:17,480 Speaker 2: the Democrat party experience these days. You have to be 424 00:23:17,680 --> 00:23:22,720 Speaker 2: willing to believe things that conflict and that make no 425 00:23:22,920 --> 00:23:27,159 Speaker 2: sense together. Have to have to be willing to do that. 426 00:23:28,600 --> 00:23:30,800 Speaker 2: You have to think that it is a bad thing 427 00:23:31,440 --> 00:23:36,200 Speaker 2: when Republicans redistrict. It is a worthy and necessary thing 428 00:23:36,280 --> 00:23:39,919 Speaker 2: when Democrats do it. And this is this is everything. 429 00:23:40,280 --> 00:23:44,400 Speaker 2: Prosecuting your political enemies a good thing, a worthy thing 430 00:23:45,160 --> 00:23:50,040 Speaker 2: when Democrats do it. Republicans even think of doing it, 431 00:23:50,119 --> 00:23:54,240 Speaker 2: it's the end of the republic. Oh ah, it's all 432 00:23:54,280 --> 00:23:57,679 Speaker 2: A Democrat political consultant guys out there. 433 00:23:59,359 --> 00:23:59,439 Speaker 4: So. 434 00:24:01,160 --> 00:24:03,160 Speaker 2: We need to understand this is the way the game 435 00:24:03,280 --> 00:24:06,119 Speaker 2: is played, these are the rules and this situation. And 436 00:24:06,160 --> 00:24:10,320 Speaker 2: then he got Bernie Sanders out there. Montani, the Kami 437 00:24:10,880 --> 00:24:15,159 Speaker 2: is getting a lot of attention. Bernie wants everybody to 438 00:24:15,320 --> 00:24:20,280 Speaker 2: know that there's been a commie on the block all along, 439 00:24:20,960 --> 00:24:27,639 Speaker 2: and he comes from Brooklyn, Cut eleven. Here Bernie Sanders 440 00:24:27,720 --> 00:24:29,280 Speaker 2: weighing in on the Mamdani situation. 441 00:24:29,720 --> 00:24:30,960 Speaker 5: There are many reasons. 442 00:24:30,640 --> 00:24:32,600 Speaker 3: Why people win an election and loose election, and what 443 00:24:32,640 --> 00:24:35,000 Speaker 3: happens in Virginia, New Jersey, and New York City have 444 00:24:35,080 --> 00:24:37,120 Speaker 3: been different. But I think there was a common theme 445 00:24:37,280 --> 00:24:39,679 Speaker 3: last night and that its people all over this country 446 00:24:39,760 --> 00:24:44,280 Speaker 3: are rejecting trump Ism. They understand that it is a 447 00:24:44,320 --> 00:24:47,920 Speaker 3: horrific situation when twenty plus million people are going to 448 00:24:48,000 --> 00:24:50,760 Speaker 3: see a doubling or in some cases are tripling in 449 00:24:50,840 --> 00:24:53,880 Speaker 3: the healthcare premiums when they can't afford it, When fifteen 450 00:24:54,119 --> 00:24:56,240 Speaker 3: million people are going to be thrown off of their 451 00:24:56,400 --> 00:24:59,280 Speaker 3: healthcare because of massive cuts to medicate. 452 00:25:02,000 --> 00:25:04,840 Speaker 2: Notice how he says they can't afford their healthcare. This 453 00:25:05,200 --> 00:25:10,560 Speaker 2: is the healthcare system that Democrats shoved down all of 454 00:25:10,640 --> 00:25:14,119 Speaker 2: our throats. You cannot keep your doctor remember from the 455 00:25:14,200 --> 00:25:18,280 Speaker 2: Obamacare era. Your plan is going to be more expensive, 456 00:25:18,520 --> 00:25:20,840 Speaker 2: the network is going to be more narrow, your wait 457 00:25:20,880 --> 00:25:22,199 Speaker 2: times are going to be longer. 458 00:25:22,400 --> 00:25:24,000 Speaker 6: Everything is going to get worse. 459 00:25:25,400 --> 00:25:27,440 Speaker 2: And they turn around and they say it is your fault, 460 00:25:27,680 --> 00:25:31,919 Speaker 2: or rather as Republican's fault. All the things that they 461 00:25:32,000 --> 00:25:36,520 Speaker 2: have done have resulted in exactly what the right has 462 00:25:36,720 --> 00:25:42,560 Speaker 2: said would happen. And the response from them is not, Wow, 463 00:25:42,640 --> 00:25:45,280 Speaker 2: we've learned a lesson. I guess we should know. It's 464 00:25:45,600 --> 00:25:47,880 Speaker 2: it's your fault. It's your fault. 465 00:25:47,880 --> 00:25:49,080 Speaker 6: And this is why I've said all along. 466 00:25:49,440 --> 00:25:54,880 Speaker 2: I think unfortunately, and I should wait maybe when Clay's 467 00:25:55,080 --> 00:25:57,119 Speaker 2: back with me here in a second, to get into this, 468 00:25:58,080 --> 00:26:02,360 Speaker 2: but I think I think the Democrats are gonna learn 469 00:26:02,440 --> 00:26:04,600 Speaker 2: a harsh or people are gonna learn a harsh lesson 470 00:26:04,640 --> 00:26:06,560 Speaker 2: about New York and it's gonna help the Republicans so 471 00:26:06,680 --> 00:26:09,640 Speaker 2: much in the midterms. Mam, Donnie's just gonna blame Trump. 472 00:26:10,800 --> 00:26:14,720 Speaker 2: He's just gonna blame Trump. And as absurd and childish 473 00:26:14,800 --> 00:26:19,600 Speaker 2: and irrational as that is, it's gonna be effective for 474 00:26:19,680 --> 00:26:24,600 Speaker 2: a lot of people, and even people who maybe aren't 475 00:26:25,560 --> 00:26:28,880 Speaker 2: that much into the left wing orthodoxy. But there will 476 00:26:29,000 --> 00:26:34,400 Speaker 2: be people who just they are absorbing casually the narrative 477 00:26:34,480 --> 00:26:37,480 Speaker 2: out there, the media, what they're seeing on TikTok or 478 00:26:37,560 --> 00:26:42,160 Speaker 2: whatever it may be, and it'll be oh if if mom, 479 00:26:42,240 --> 00:26:45,640 Speaker 2: Donnie fails spectacularly. And I want to be clear, it's 480 00:26:45,720 --> 00:26:50,160 Speaker 2: really hard to feel spectacularly as mayor in the first 481 00:26:50,359 --> 00:26:53,359 Speaker 2: year of doing the job. And some of you, I 482 00:26:53,440 --> 00:26:55,320 Speaker 2: know are gonna You're gonna challenge me on that, and 483 00:26:55,440 --> 00:26:59,480 Speaker 2: that's fine. But this was the argument I saw this playoff. 484 00:26:59,560 --> 00:27:05,440 Speaker 2: This was the argument all along with the Blasio. People 485 00:27:05,480 --> 00:27:09,520 Speaker 2: said de Blasio is an idiot. Communists. The Blasio works 486 00:27:09,640 --> 00:27:11,640 Speaker 2: like thirty minutes a day, by the way, that's really 487 00:27:11,720 --> 00:27:14,560 Speaker 2: what his own staff I think they said, you get 488 00:27:14,640 --> 00:27:17,240 Speaker 2: like an hour or less with him of actual work 489 00:27:17,880 --> 00:27:23,320 Speaker 2: on any given day. The Blasio made the guy in 490 00:27:23,520 --> 00:27:26,200 Speaker 2: office space who starts showing up in sandals and saying 491 00:27:26,240 --> 00:27:28,240 Speaker 2: he doesn't want to do anything. He made that guy 492 00:27:28,760 --> 00:27:31,359 Speaker 2: look like the people who are making iPhones at Fox 493 00:27:31,480 --> 00:27:34,160 Speaker 2: con over in China. I mean, you know, the Blasio 494 00:27:34,280 --> 00:27:39,240 Speaker 2: had no work ethic whatsoever. But he was a left 495 00:27:39,280 --> 00:27:43,639 Speaker 2: wing radical who believed that he should pursue policies. And 496 00:27:43,720 --> 00:27:47,639 Speaker 2: this is applicable to not just cities and mayor do 497 00:27:47,760 --> 00:27:52,400 Speaker 2: we say mayoralties mostly or mayorships mayoral ties right, mayor's 498 00:27:52,480 --> 00:27:58,080 Speaker 2: offices across the country. Because he had the ideology of 499 00:27:58,160 --> 00:28:00,600 Speaker 2: the left that the Democrat that is, ascended the Democrat 500 00:28:00,640 --> 00:28:03,920 Speaker 2: Party right now. He did run for president, that was laughable. 501 00:28:05,119 --> 00:28:12,000 Speaker 2: He also was known to, let's just say, smoke some 502 00:28:12,160 --> 00:28:16,160 Speaker 2: of that wacky Tobacci people used to say pretty frequently. 503 00:28:16,280 --> 00:28:21,800 Speaker 2: He was a guy who spent some time thinking deep thoughts, 504 00:28:22,119 --> 00:28:30,280 Speaker 2: not about work, that's for sure. Deblasio was a terrible mayor, 505 00:28:30,440 --> 00:28:35,600 Speaker 2: but it took a few years for that to really 506 00:28:35,720 --> 00:28:41,320 Speaker 2: be a parent and because what he inherited was the safest, wealthiest, 507 00:28:41,520 --> 00:28:45,600 Speaker 2: best run version of New York in my lifetime. Remember, 508 00:28:46,520 --> 00:28:49,280 Speaker 2: Giuliani cleaned it up, but it still had a ways 509 00:28:49,400 --> 00:28:52,880 Speaker 2: to go. Giuliani essentially pushed the boulder to the top 510 00:28:52,960 --> 00:28:55,680 Speaker 2: of the hill and then it was able to start 511 00:28:55,760 --> 00:28:58,280 Speaker 2: rolling down, going faster and faster in the right direction. 512 00:28:59,200 --> 00:29:03,240 Speaker 2: So he gets all the credit for that transformation. But 513 00:29:03,520 --> 00:29:07,240 Speaker 2: the city, if you look at homicides, investment, all those things, 514 00:29:07,720 --> 00:29:13,520 Speaker 2: was getting better. Obviously, nine to eleven was a separate 515 00:29:14,640 --> 00:29:19,600 Speaker 2: historical moment for America or for a New York City 516 00:29:19,920 --> 00:29:22,800 Speaker 2: period for New York City. But New York actually rebounded 517 00:29:22,880 --> 00:29:27,400 Speaker 2: economically and otherwise from nine eleven very quickly. Other than that, though, 518 00:29:27,440 --> 00:29:29,920 Speaker 2: New York City was really just on an upward trajectory 519 00:29:29,960 --> 00:29:33,720 Speaker 2: from about nineteen ninety six nineteen ninety seven on. And 520 00:29:34,000 --> 00:29:37,640 Speaker 2: I bring all this up because Mamdani is probably going 521 00:29:37,720 --> 00:29:40,160 Speaker 2: to be less effective in all respects in this year 522 00:29:40,280 --> 00:29:45,080 Speaker 2: than anticipated, and so that means it won't be as 523 00:29:45,160 --> 00:29:49,120 Speaker 2: bad as we think. And whatever is bad, or hopefully 524 00:29:49,120 --> 00:29:51,280 Speaker 2: it won't be as bad as we think. And no 525 00:29:51,440 --> 00:29:54,640 Speaker 2: matter what they'll say, it's someone else's fault, and enough 526 00:29:54,720 --> 00:29:56,600 Speaker 2: people will believe that that they'll least get away with 527 00:29:56,640 --> 00:30:01,440 Speaker 2: it at some level. Here you, Senator Cruz weighed in 528 00:30:01,680 --> 00:30:05,200 Speaker 2: on the election. Uh, here's what he had to say. 529 00:30:05,280 --> 00:30:06,680 Speaker 2: Play twelve last. 530 00:30:06,520 --> 00:30:09,360 Speaker 5: Night was a disaster. It was an electoral blowout. 531 00:30:09,600 --> 00:30:13,640 Speaker 11: The results in New Jersey were disastrous, the results in 532 00:30:13,760 --> 00:30:17,680 Speaker 11: Virginia were terrible, the results in New York. Comrade Mondami 533 00:30:18,040 --> 00:30:20,640 Speaker 11: is the face of the Democrat Party. We have an 534 00:30:20,920 --> 00:30:25,040 Speaker 11: actual communist Jihadis. And it's important to note Mondami is 535 00:30:25,160 --> 00:30:28,600 Speaker 11: not a socialist. He is a full on communist. He 536 00:30:28,680 --> 00:30:32,040 Speaker 11: has called for seizing the means of production in our economy. 537 00:30:32,320 --> 00:30:35,320 Speaker 5: He is a Marxist. That is profoundly dangerous. 538 00:30:35,360 --> 00:30:38,400 Speaker 11: And look, I know there's some Republicans who are saying, well, gosh, 539 00:30:38,480 --> 00:30:40,280 Speaker 11: this will be good politically because they'll be the face 540 00:30:40,320 --> 00:30:41,240 Speaker 11: of the Democrat party. 541 00:30:41,400 --> 00:30:42,840 Speaker 5: I think it's terrible for America. 542 00:30:44,360 --> 00:30:47,920 Speaker 2: Interesting, I really agree with the end partner from Senator 543 00:30:47,960 --> 00:30:50,520 Speaker 2: Cruz about yeah, Mamdani's a comedy, and I also think 544 00:30:50,560 --> 00:30:52,360 Speaker 2: it's bad for America. It's a bad look that we've 545 00:30:52,360 --> 00:30:54,400 Speaker 2: got this guy in charge of our largest city. The 546 00:30:54,520 --> 00:30:57,400 Speaker 2: lessons learned part of it is a pretty thin silver lining. 547 00:30:57,680 --> 00:31:00,880 Speaker 2: I think we'll see, we'll see. I don't really agree 548 00:31:00,880 --> 00:31:03,200 Speaker 2: with his initial it was a disaster. It was you 549 00:31:03,400 --> 00:31:08,040 Speaker 2: disappointing but expected. I don't think it's a disaster because 550 00:31:08,040 --> 00:31:10,400 Speaker 2: I also don't believe that anybody should start to buy 551 00:31:10,440 --> 00:31:14,480 Speaker 2: into this narrative that this is somehow a rejection of 552 00:31:14,720 --> 00:31:17,479 Speaker 2: trump Ism. Trump's not on the ballot and it's an 553 00:31:17,520 --> 00:31:22,240 Speaker 2: off yr election, and he just crushed the Democrats in 554 00:31:22,680 --> 00:31:27,040 Speaker 2: an election year where they tried to take him out 555 00:31:27,120 --> 00:31:30,760 Speaker 2: well by a whole bunch of different means. So we 556 00:31:30,920 --> 00:31:33,680 Speaker 2: just had the biggest, the biggest political win. I think 557 00:31:33,720 --> 00:31:35,800 Speaker 2: the Trump win is the biggest political win of our lifetime. 558 00:31:35,920 --> 00:31:38,959 Speaker 2: This last one. I think it is bigger than twenty sixteen, 559 00:31:39,000 --> 00:31:42,080 Speaker 2: even in significance for a variety of reasons. So I 560 00:31:42,200 --> 00:31:44,360 Speaker 2: think this is the biggest win that I can remember. 561 00:31:45,160 --> 00:31:46,920 Speaker 2: And so of course there's gonna be a little bit 562 00:31:47,000 --> 00:31:49,560 Speaker 2: of a sense of letdown. And this look, even if 563 00:31:49,600 --> 00:31:53,440 Speaker 2: we had won New Jersey with Chitdarelli, you know it, 564 00:31:54,240 --> 00:31:56,360 Speaker 2: it's not gonna blow your socks off if you live 565 00:31:56,680 --> 00:32:02,400 Speaker 2: in California or Illinois or Tech or wherever you know, Oklahoma, 566 00:32:02,520 --> 00:32:02,960 Speaker 2: you name it. 567 00:32:03,440 --> 00:32:03,720 Speaker 6: It's not. 568 00:32:04,360 --> 00:32:06,920 Speaker 2: Oh my gosh, Gittarelli's the new Jersey governor. Now we 569 00:32:07,040 --> 00:32:12,520 Speaker 2: know we're good. So let's all just keep things in context. 570 00:32:13,120 --> 00:32:15,640 Speaker 2: And as Frank the Tank says, an old school, we've 571 00:32:15,640 --> 00:32:19,200 Speaker 2: got to keep our composure. We got to keep our composure. 572 00:32:19,880 --> 00:32:22,240 Speaker 2: We've done a lot of work with the IFCJ this year, 573 00:32:22,600 --> 00:32:25,440 Speaker 2: the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews. They bring the 574 00:32:25,520 --> 00:32:28,240 Speaker 2: Christian and Jewish communities together to help one another. The 575 00:32:28,320 --> 00:32:31,760 Speaker 2: outpouring of support by Christian communities for Israeli residents affected 576 00:32:31,760 --> 00:32:34,680 Speaker 2: by two years of missile attacks is something to witness, 577 00:32:34,760 --> 00:32:37,040 Speaker 2: and here in the US, the IFCJ is accomplishing the 578 00:32:37,080 --> 00:32:40,640 Speaker 2: same success. When Jewish communities are threatened as they have been, 579 00:32:41,000 --> 00:32:45,800 Speaker 2: Christian community members surround them with support. The International Fellowship 580 00:32:45,840 --> 00:32:48,720 Speaker 2: of Christians and Jews or IFCJ, is on the front lines, 581 00:32:49,000 --> 00:32:52,080 Speaker 2: providing real help where it's needed most. They're giving food 582 00:32:52,200 --> 00:32:54,880 Speaker 2: and shelter to Jewish families that feel under threat. They're 583 00:32:54,880 --> 00:32:58,320 Speaker 2: helping survivors of hate and anti Semitism rebuild their lives. 584 00:32:58,400 --> 00:33:00,600 Speaker 2: And they don't just respond to crisis, they work every 585 00:33:00,680 --> 00:33:03,520 Speaker 2: day to prevent it. Your gift of forty five dollars 586 00:33:03,600 --> 00:33:07,400 Speaker 2: will help support their life saving work by helping provide food, shelter, 587 00:33:07,520 --> 00:33:10,959 Speaker 2: and much more.
