1 00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:04,480 Speaker 1: The Team forty seven podcast is sponsored by Good Ranchers. 2 00:00:04,120 --> 00:00:06,360 Speaker 2: Making the American Farm Strong Again. 3 00:00:09,160 --> 00:00:15,159 Speaker 1: Team forty seven with Clay and Buck starts now. The 4 00:00:15,320 --> 00:00:20,880 Speaker 1: sun is in fact up after a dark night, and 5 00:00:21,120 --> 00:00:24,920 Speaker 1: I'm in New York City, and it is certainly a 6 00:00:25,040 --> 00:00:29,960 Speaker 1: very dark morning in New York City. We will dive 7 00:00:30,000 --> 00:00:34,200 Speaker 1: into as you might well imagine, Mom Donnie's huge win, 8 00:00:35,840 --> 00:00:39,320 Speaker 1: the wins in New Jersey and in Virginia for the 9 00:00:39,400 --> 00:00:44,040 Speaker 1: Democrat candidates. It is the one year anniversary of Trump's 10 00:00:44,040 --> 00:00:49,560 Speaker 1: big win. And certainly the Democrats who hate Trump, well, 11 00:00:49,600 --> 00:00:52,880 Speaker 1: they have not stopped hating Trump. And to me, Buck, 12 00:00:53,440 --> 00:00:56,720 Speaker 1: there are two big takeaways that I have and then 13 00:00:56,720 --> 00:00:59,560 Speaker 1: I'm curious whether you co sign or whether you have 14 00:00:59,640 --> 00:01:03,600 Speaker 1: different takeaways. And to me, let's start with New York City. 15 00:01:04,720 --> 00:01:09,319 Speaker 1: This is not an upset. Mam Donnie won a majority 16 00:01:09,360 --> 00:01:13,440 Speaker 1: of the vote in one of the highest turnout elections 17 00:01:13,480 --> 00:01:14,920 Speaker 1: that New York City has seen. 18 00:01:15,160 --> 00:01:17,600 Speaker 3: In most of the listeners'. 19 00:01:17,280 --> 00:01:21,640 Speaker 1: Lives out there, So all of our wr people open 20 00:01:21,720 --> 00:01:24,360 Speaker 1: phone lines. By the way, producer Greg will open them 21 00:01:24,840 --> 00:01:27,240 Speaker 1: if all of you, Curtis Sleiewa people would like to 22 00:01:27,280 --> 00:01:30,720 Speaker 1: call in and apologize to me for correctly pointing out 23 00:01:30,800 --> 00:01:34,600 Speaker 1: that he had zero percent chance of winning, and that honestly, 24 00:01:34,680 --> 00:01:37,040 Speaker 1: I do think if he had dropped out earlier and 25 00:01:37,120 --> 00:01:40,200 Speaker 1: it had been a Cuomo against Mom Donnie straight up election, 26 00:01:40,920 --> 00:01:43,120 Speaker 1: I think that Cuomo may have been able to win. 27 00:01:43,200 --> 00:01:45,560 Speaker 1: The latest numbers that I saw Buck, unless more have 28 00:01:45,640 --> 00:01:48,840 Speaker 1: come in, is that Mam Donnie won right around fifty 29 00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:51,880 Speaker 1: four point four percent of the vote, that is just 30 00:01:52,040 --> 00:01:56,280 Speaker 1: barely over a majority, and that the rest was split 31 00:01:56,440 --> 00:01:59,440 Speaker 1: between Sliwa and so New York City. Starting there, what 32 00:01:59,520 --> 00:02:01,440 Speaker 1: was your take? My biggest take is like, this is 33 00:02:01,480 --> 00:02:02,400 Speaker 1: what New York wanted. 34 00:02:03,600 --> 00:02:05,320 Speaker 2: The polls were all correct. 35 00:02:05,720 --> 00:02:08,919 Speaker 4: Let's take a moment, because we get a lot of oh, 36 00:02:08,960 --> 00:02:11,400 Speaker 4: you can't trust the polls, you can't know. The polls 37 00:02:11,400 --> 00:02:15,960 Speaker 4: were pretty much spot on the people that were leading 38 00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:20,120 Speaker 4: all one, and the margins were more or less what 39 00:02:20,200 --> 00:02:22,600 Speaker 4: was expected. Virginia might have been a little bigger than expected. 40 00:02:23,320 --> 00:02:26,440 Speaker 4: But look, we lost the governor's mansion in Virginia. We lost, well, 41 00:02:26,760 --> 00:02:29,080 Speaker 4: we didn't win the contest for the governor's mansion. In 42 00:02:29,120 --> 00:02:32,639 Speaker 4: New Jersey. We've got a communist mayor of New York 43 00:02:32,720 --> 00:02:36,280 Speaker 4: City Inbound Clay. I am wearing Soviet Union red today 44 00:02:36,320 --> 00:02:44,760 Speaker 4: in solidarity with Comrade Zoran. But the political consensus, the 45 00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:48,200 Speaker 4: wisdom of the chattering class, whatever you want to call it, 46 00:02:48,360 --> 00:02:51,520 Speaker 4: was locked in correct. And everything that we told you 47 00:02:52,040 --> 00:02:55,880 Speaker 4: to be fair was also correct. None of this. I 48 00:02:55,960 --> 00:03:00,000 Speaker 4: was hopeful that maybe we would steal something from New Jersey, 49 00:02:59,760 --> 00:03:03,080 Speaker 4: but we didn't. So it was not a not a 50 00:03:03,160 --> 00:03:07,000 Speaker 4: strong night. Look, these are very tough races in very 51 00:03:07,040 --> 00:03:11,080 Speaker 4: tough spaces for not just a Republican but for sanity. 52 00:03:11,440 --> 00:03:13,359 Speaker 2: I mean, this is like the heart of darkness. 53 00:03:13,360 --> 00:03:15,560 Speaker 4: When you're talking about New York City, you're talking about 54 00:03:16,200 --> 00:03:18,480 Speaker 4: you know, the northern part of Virginia, which now dominates 55 00:03:18,520 --> 00:03:21,679 Speaker 4: the state. Clay I will say, and we're going to 56 00:03:21,720 --> 00:03:25,480 Speaker 4: get into the demographic data too here that also completely 57 00:03:25,480 --> 00:03:29,040 Speaker 4: aligned with what we thought. If you thought some group 58 00:03:29,120 --> 00:03:31,280 Speaker 4: was going to vote Mam Donnie, they did. By the way, 59 00:03:31,320 --> 00:03:33,880 Speaker 4: Mom Donnie got over ninety percent of the black vote, 60 00:03:33,919 --> 00:03:37,480 Speaker 4: something that was not talked about very much in advance 61 00:03:37,720 --> 00:03:42,800 Speaker 4: of the election. So that was the single strongest demographic 62 00:03:42,840 --> 00:03:49,160 Speaker 4: for Mom Donnie. But there are many you know, young women, millennials, Hispanics, Asians. 63 00:03:49,200 --> 00:03:52,160 Speaker 4: There's all these breakdowns of the data. We'll see Clay. 64 00:03:52,320 --> 00:03:55,840 Speaker 4: I think that at the biggest level, at the thirty 65 00:03:55,880 --> 00:04:01,680 Speaker 4: thousand foot view, this is a reminder that economics is 66 00:04:01,680 --> 00:04:06,240 Speaker 4: still the dominant political issue in America. Wherever you are, 67 00:04:07,000 --> 00:04:10,000 Speaker 4: people are worried about prices, They're worried about cost of living. 68 00:04:10,040 --> 00:04:13,440 Speaker 4: They're worried about their future and their children's future, or 69 00:04:13,440 --> 00:04:16,360 Speaker 4: even their ability to have children because of the future 70 00:04:16,360 --> 00:04:19,960 Speaker 4: that they see, and the political party that addresses that 71 00:04:20,960 --> 00:04:27,080 Speaker 4: with more a plum, not just more accuracy. Zoran was 72 00:04:27,120 --> 00:04:29,920 Speaker 4: more fun than the other guys. Yeah, he's a communist, 73 00:04:29,960 --> 00:04:31,680 Speaker 4: He's gonna ruin New York. We all get that, right, 74 00:04:31,960 --> 00:04:35,160 Speaker 4: But Clay, who was more entertaining, who was more engaging, 75 00:04:35,200 --> 00:04:36,560 Speaker 4: who seemed like he wanted it more? 76 00:04:36,560 --> 00:04:39,080 Speaker 2: It's not even close. Cuomo barely showed up. 77 00:04:40,839 --> 00:04:44,200 Speaker 1: New York City's in trouble with Mom Donnie, but they 78 00:04:44,279 --> 00:04:47,960 Speaker 1: voted for him, for sure. The turnout was huge. Here's 79 00:04:47,960 --> 00:04:50,200 Speaker 1: what I would say about Virginia and New Jersey, and 80 00:04:50,279 --> 00:04:52,640 Speaker 1: I think this is where not only do we look 81 00:04:52,680 --> 00:04:54,840 Speaker 1: at the results, but we have to spin it forward, 82 00:04:54,880 --> 00:04:58,320 Speaker 1: and we have to do it honestly. Trump got more 83 00:04:58,440 --> 00:05:03,479 Speaker 1: votes in New Jersey and in Virginia last year, then 84 00:05:03,680 --> 00:05:08,960 Speaker 1: either of the winning candidates, did Mickey, Cheryl or Spanberger? Okay, 85 00:05:09,080 --> 00:05:11,640 Speaker 1: why do I say that? Yes it was a presidential election. 86 00:05:12,160 --> 00:05:15,039 Speaker 1: Yes it's an off year election, but that always happens 87 00:05:15,040 --> 00:05:20,120 Speaker 1: in New Jersey in Virginia. Six hundred thousand Trump voters, 88 00:05:20,160 --> 00:05:24,640 Speaker 1: Buck did not show up and vote in both New 89 00:05:24,720 --> 00:05:31,320 Speaker 1: Jersey and in Virginia. Six hundred thousand. Some of you 90 00:05:31,720 --> 00:05:35,160 Speaker 1: are listening to us right now, and you didn't go vote, 91 00:05:35,200 --> 00:05:37,040 Speaker 1: even though we change you to go vote. 92 00:05:37,120 --> 00:05:37,880 Speaker 3: Okay, shame? 93 00:05:39,240 --> 00:05:42,800 Speaker 1: What does that mean going forward? The people Buck, who 94 00:05:42,839 --> 00:05:47,520 Speaker 1: hate Trump, they show up, their brains are broken. They 95 00:05:47,560 --> 00:05:50,440 Speaker 1: will show up at a school board vote because they 96 00:05:50,480 --> 00:05:54,920 Speaker 1: hate Trump. The people who love Trump, they don't show 97 00:05:55,000 --> 00:05:58,320 Speaker 1: up when Trump's not on the ballot. And so that 98 00:05:58,560 --> 00:06:02,440 Speaker 1: is ominous for twenty two twenty six, and candidly it's 99 00:06:02,480 --> 00:06:05,640 Speaker 1: ominous for twenty twenty eight, which is why I have 100 00:06:05,800 --> 00:06:11,000 Speaker 1: told you the pivot is coming very soon to Trump's 101 00:06:11,080 --> 00:06:14,400 Speaker 1: voters won't show up in twenty eight. And they're gonna 102 00:06:14,400 --> 00:06:17,920 Speaker 1: say Trump's voters won't show up in twenty six. And 103 00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:21,119 Speaker 1: that is to me, the biggest, most impactful thing about 104 00:06:21,120 --> 00:06:25,640 Speaker 1: what happened last night. Six hundred thousand people less showed 105 00:06:25,680 --> 00:06:29,760 Speaker 1: up in New Jersey and Virginia. It wasn't that somehow 106 00:06:30,160 --> 00:06:33,839 Speaker 1: these Democrats won and turned out unbelievable numbers. The numbers 107 00:06:33,839 --> 00:06:35,560 Speaker 1: in New York City were unbelievable, and. 108 00:06:35,520 --> 00:06:35,920 Speaker 3: They were good. 109 00:06:36,000 --> 00:06:37,880 Speaker 4: I mean, they actually did do a good job of turnout, 110 00:06:37,920 --> 00:06:39,920 Speaker 4: I think in New York particularly, but in. 111 00:06:39,880 --> 00:06:41,880 Speaker 1: New York City. But that's why I said, it's two 112 00:06:41,880 --> 00:06:44,719 Speaker 1: different takes. New York City, they said, we want Commie 113 00:06:44,760 --> 00:06:48,280 Speaker 1: Mom Donnie, he's our guy. We are excited to go 114 00:06:48,320 --> 00:06:50,599 Speaker 1: to the polls and make this guy the next mayor. 115 00:06:51,400 --> 00:06:53,280 Speaker 1: You said, it's because he's exciting. I mean, I think 116 00:06:53,320 --> 00:06:54,760 Speaker 1: that he ran. I think you got to give him 117 00:06:54,760 --> 00:06:58,760 Speaker 1: credit a great campaign and he delivered based on an 118 00:06:58,800 --> 00:07:03,240 Speaker 1: awful all full pitch reality wise, But in New Jersey 119 00:07:03,240 --> 00:07:05,440 Speaker 1: and Virginia, the biggest story to me is Trump's people 120 00:07:05,480 --> 00:07:06,160 Speaker 1: didn't show up. 121 00:07:06,640 --> 00:07:12,200 Speaker 4: There is a fundamental reality that the GOP is going 122 00:07:12,240 --> 00:07:14,320 Speaker 4: to have to address. Look, this is an off year election. 123 00:07:15,000 --> 00:07:18,680 Speaker 4: This was Democrat home turf really across the board. I mean, 124 00:07:18,760 --> 00:07:22,520 Speaker 4: Virginia is a purple blue state. I know we had 125 00:07:22,560 --> 00:07:27,640 Speaker 4: that nice, that nice off year win before with Youngkin win. 126 00:07:27,720 --> 00:07:31,560 Speaker 4: Some seers seems like a wonderful lady and a just 127 00:07:31,600 --> 00:07:38,120 Speaker 4: a very good person. A completely unmemorable campaign. Not to 128 00:07:38,160 --> 00:07:41,640 Speaker 4: be mean, I think she's very impressive and I obviously 129 00:07:41,680 --> 00:07:43,440 Speaker 4: would have voted for her to living in Virginia. But 130 00:07:43,600 --> 00:07:45,760 Speaker 4: just not a campaigner. You know, you can be a 131 00:07:45,760 --> 00:07:48,160 Speaker 4: good leader, you can be a good decider, but not 132 00:07:48,200 --> 00:07:51,480 Speaker 4: really a campaigner. Zorn is kind of funny, Clay, He's 133 00:07:51,480 --> 00:07:57,200 Speaker 4: the opposite. Zorn created a show. Zorn remembered the lessons 134 00:07:57,280 --> 00:08:00,760 Speaker 4: of Saul Alinsky. Go back and read Rule for Radicals. 135 00:08:00,800 --> 00:08:04,640 Speaker 4: Everybody Alynski there is there is an evil brilliance to 136 00:08:04,760 --> 00:08:06,680 Speaker 4: so much that is in that book. One of the 137 00:08:06,680 --> 00:08:09,520 Speaker 4: things is make it fun. Yeah, make it an activity. 138 00:08:09,880 --> 00:08:14,240 Speaker 4: Make activism something people want to show up to because 139 00:08:14,280 --> 00:08:17,080 Speaker 4: they'll feel cool and they'll laugh and they'll be with 140 00:08:17,120 --> 00:08:21,720 Speaker 4: their friends. And Zoran manage to do that. Now Trump 141 00:08:22,280 --> 00:08:25,520 Speaker 4: has had that same effect on the right. Trump is 142 00:08:25,560 --> 00:08:30,000 Speaker 4: both a political and a cultural phenomenon. People show up 143 00:08:30,160 --> 00:08:33,160 Speaker 4: with their MAGA hats, People show up feeling like they 144 00:08:33,160 --> 00:08:36,640 Speaker 4: are part of something. The big question for twenty eight, 145 00:08:37,000 --> 00:08:39,760 Speaker 4: more so even than twenty six, I think Clay, is 146 00:08:39,840 --> 00:08:45,560 Speaker 4: how does the MAGA movement coalesce around an air apparent. 147 00:08:45,640 --> 00:08:46,720 Speaker 2: How does Trump play into that? 148 00:08:46,760 --> 00:08:48,319 Speaker 4: And this is gonna be something we talk a lot 149 00:08:48,400 --> 00:08:52,160 Speaker 4: about in the next year. But in the meantime, the economy, 150 00:08:52,480 --> 00:08:56,640 Speaker 4: and that means healthcare, that means inflation, the cost of rent, 151 00:08:56,800 --> 00:08:59,920 Speaker 4: the cost of groceries, the cost of everything you got. 152 00:09:00,040 --> 00:09:03,120 Speaker 4: I have messaging on this everyone or else, the commies 153 00:09:03,160 --> 00:09:04,040 Speaker 4: will be in charge. 154 00:09:04,520 --> 00:09:07,400 Speaker 1: Here is a funny tweet on this, because we are 155 00:09:07,400 --> 00:09:09,840 Speaker 1: going to try to have some humor, because sometimes you 156 00:09:09,880 --> 00:09:12,600 Speaker 1: get your askine, you have to have a little bit 157 00:09:12,640 --> 00:09:15,160 Speaker 1: of to have a little bit of black sense of humor, right, 158 00:09:15,200 --> 00:09:16,120 Speaker 1: a dark sense of humion. 159 00:09:16,320 --> 00:09:18,120 Speaker 4: I told my parents just make sure that go bags 160 00:09:18,120 --> 00:09:19,880 Speaker 4: are by the front door. I'm here in Florida. If 161 00:09:19,880 --> 00:09:21,760 Speaker 4: you got a flee you know where to go. They're fine. 162 00:09:22,280 --> 00:09:24,840 Speaker 1: Brad Chadlington, I don't know who he is, but I 163 00:09:24,880 --> 00:09:27,960 Speaker 1: saw this and I thought it was so funny. The richest, whitest, 164 00:09:28,080 --> 00:09:31,920 Speaker 1: most sheltered girl you know, from the wealthiest suburb in 165 00:09:31,960 --> 00:09:35,360 Speaker 1: the country is posting a picture of zorn mom Donnie 166 00:09:35,480 --> 00:09:38,960 Speaker 1: on her story right Now, captioned power to the people 167 00:09:39,480 --> 00:09:43,120 Speaker 1: from her soho apartment that's paid for by her wealthy 168 00:09:43,200 --> 00:09:48,240 Speaker 1: conservative father. There is a lot of truth to this, 169 00:09:48,840 --> 00:09:53,439 Speaker 1: because the more recently you arrived in New York City, 170 00:09:53,559 --> 00:09:55,760 Speaker 1: I saw a breakdown based on length of time that 171 00:09:55,800 --> 00:09:58,640 Speaker 1: people have lived in New York City, the more likely 172 00:09:58,679 --> 00:10:02,559 Speaker 1: you were to vote for Mom to overwhelming majority. I 173 00:10:02,559 --> 00:10:05,320 Speaker 1: think it was eighty two percent I saw of people 174 00:10:05,320 --> 00:10:07,800 Speaker 1: that have gotten to New York City in the last decade. Now, 175 00:10:07,880 --> 00:10:10,800 Speaker 1: a lot of those are immigrants, right, which is a 176 00:10:10,800 --> 00:10:13,240 Speaker 1: whole big discussion in general. But a lot of those 177 00:10:13,240 --> 00:10:16,439 Speaker 1: people are actually just young college kids like the girl 178 00:10:16,600 --> 00:10:18,119 Speaker 1: probably that I just described. 179 00:10:18,600 --> 00:10:21,199 Speaker 4: Well, we all we got to slow immigration down in general. 180 00:10:21,240 --> 00:10:23,760 Speaker 4: There's another conversation that ever needs to have. If you 181 00:10:23,840 --> 00:10:28,400 Speaker 4: have the largest city in America with being largely determined 182 00:10:28,440 --> 00:10:30,440 Speaker 4: its future being determined by people who have been in 183 00:10:30,480 --> 00:10:34,360 Speaker 4: America for only a couple of years, that's that's a problem. 184 00:10:34,880 --> 00:10:37,360 Speaker 4: That's actually not what you want. No other country would 185 00:10:37,360 --> 00:10:39,600 Speaker 4: allow that. Yeah, I know the worst of we've been 186 00:10:39,679 --> 00:10:42,160 Speaker 4: brainwashed to believe, but that's all you know. If you 187 00:10:42,280 --> 00:10:44,280 Speaker 4: just came across the border, even if you're illegal, you're 188 00:10:44,280 --> 00:10:46,480 Speaker 4: as American as everybody who's ever been here, and even 189 00:10:46,480 --> 00:10:48,680 Speaker 4: if their famili's been here for generations. That is not 190 00:10:48,920 --> 00:10:53,000 Speaker 4: true and we have to have a discussion about that 191 00:10:53,080 --> 00:10:55,120 Speaker 4: as well. We're good, We've had a lot of immigration. 192 00:10:55,720 --> 00:10:57,560 Speaker 4: You know, We've had a lot of legal immigration, a 193 00:10:57,559 --> 00:11:00,400 Speaker 4: lot of illegal immigration. It's time to it's time to 194 00:11:00,440 --> 00:11:02,040 Speaker 4: tighten up some of these numbers a little bit and 195 00:11:02,120 --> 00:11:07,040 Speaker 4: let assimilation and Americanism and Americanizing take place for everybody. 196 00:11:07,080 --> 00:11:09,760 Speaker 4: It can't just be this wide open door and you 197 00:11:09,800 --> 00:11:12,080 Speaker 4: get people coming here from all over the world who 198 00:11:12,080 --> 00:11:15,080 Speaker 4: are saying, you know what I want, communism. That's not good. 199 00:11:15,280 --> 00:11:16,840 Speaker 4: That's not going to help us very much here by 200 00:11:16,840 --> 00:11:19,040 Speaker 4: the country went through this before the city of Chicago, 201 00:11:19,080 --> 00:11:22,040 Speaker 4: in particular Clay right around the turn of the twentieth century, 202 00:11:22,280 --> 00:11:24,680 Speaker 4: there were all kinds of commedis and socialists and anarchists 203 00:11:24,679 --> 00:11:26,439 Speaker 4: who were showing up and it was a real concern. 204 00:11:26,520 --> 00:11:26,720 Speaker 2: Then. 205 00:11:27,080 --> 00:11:31,120 Speaker 1: The biggest issue I would say with illegal immigration and 206 00:11:31,160 --> 00:11:35,600 Speaker 1: immigration now is back in the day when we had 207 00:11:35,800 --> 00:11:37,560 Speaker 1: you know where I am right now in New York City, 208 00:11:37,640 --> 00:11:43,040 Speaker 1: huge Irish populations, huge Italian populations, huge numbers of immigrants. 209 00:11:43,559 --> 00:11:47,199 Speaker 1: A lot of them still came from a Western civilization 210 00:11:47,400 --> 00:11:53,400 Speaker 1: culture that recognized that Western civilization and yes, Christianity, although 211 00:11:53,400 --> 00:11:55,600 Speaker 1: it might have been Catholic. Remember the big battle there 212 00:11:55,720 --> 00:11:59,840 Speaker 1: was between Protestants and Catholics. There was a common flu 213 00:12:00,320 --> 00:12:04,520 Speaker 1: of agreement on some level. A lot of people coming now, 214 00:12:04,640 --> 00:12:09,680 Speaker 1: which is certainly incredibly ironic, are arguing America is an 215 00:12:09,679 --> 00:12:14,200 Speaker 1: awful place. Oh oh, and America's history is awful. 216 00:12:14,320 --> 00:12:16,760 Speaker 4: And this will I think it's even worse Clay, because 217 00:12:16,800 --> 00:12:21,480 Speaker 4: there's also this is a spoils system that people now arrive. 218 00:12:21,679 --> 00:12:23,640 Speaker 4: And you see this in Minneapolis, and you see this 219 00:12:23,679 --> 00:12:25,439 Speaker 4: in New York, and you see this in cities where 220 00:12:25,440 --> 00:12:32,800 Speaker 4: there is a particularly increasingly obvious tribal, newly arrived political attitude. 221 00:12:32,920 --> 00:12:35,440 Speaker 4: Right like I have arrived, I'm going to vote as 222 00:12:35,440 --> 00:12:40,360 Speaker 4: a voting block to dispossess the natives, the ones who 223 00:12:40,360 --> 00:12:42,439 Speaker 4: have been here. And by the way, to be very clear, 224 00:12:42,760 --> 00:12:45,760 Speaker 4: that's all Americans. That's white, Black, Asian, Latino. But it's 225 00:12:45,760 --> 00:12:47,600 Speaker 4: people that were born here, people that were raised here, 226 00:12:47,600 --> 00:12:50,440 Speaker 4: people that are American. There's now the new arrivals that 227 00:12:50,520 --> 00:12:52,800 Speaker 4: are saying, why do I even have to Why don't 228 00:12:52,800 --> 00:12:54,559 Speaker 4: I even have to conform? I don't have to learn 229 00:12:54,600 --> 00:12:56,920 Speaker 4: English even or do any of this stuff. I'm just 230 00:12:56,960 --> 00:12:59,680 Speaker 4: going to stay with my voting block here do you see. 231 00:13:00,080 --> 00:13:01,280 Speaker 4: By the way, if you want to look at a 232 00:13:01,840 --> 00:13:06,640 Speaker 4: version of this, Sweden, the Netherlands, they've got big problems 233 00:13:06,720 --> 00:13:08,440 Speaker 4: because people show up and they say, I just want 234 00:13:08,480 --> 00:13:11,640 Speaker 4: the welfare state, and I'm going to have nothing to 235 00:13:11,679 --> 00:13:14,160 Speaker 4: do with your culture and your society. Now, look, there's 236 00:13:14,200 --> 00:13:16,680 Speaker 4: a very complicated, broad discussion with a lot of things 237 00:13:16,720 --> 00:13:19,440 Speaker 4: going on, but in New York it is very stark. 238 00:13:21,000 --> 00:13:24,560 Speaker 4: People who are college educated and young who have been brainwashed. 239 00:13:24,640 --> 00:13:26,440 Speaker 2: I will just say it. They have been brainwashed. They 240 00:13:26,440 --> 00:13:26,880 Speaker 2: do not know. 241 00:13:28,160 --> 00:13:31,560 Speaker 4: The other problem on this, though, is they are getting 242 00:13:32,200 --> 00:13:36,079 Speaker 4: screwed by not having assets because of the inflationary policies 243 00:13:36,440 --> 00:13:39,760 Speaker 4: of both Democrats and Republicans, and the way that we've 244 00:13:39,840 --> 00:13:44,160 Speaker 4: created a system that unfortunately is intergenerational theft. No one 245 00:13:44,200 --> 00:13:46,840 Speaker 4: wants to hear that, but it's true. Thirty seven trillion 246 00:13:46,880 --> 00:13:49,200 Speaker 4: dollars of debt. This is a problem. We do actually 247 00:13:49,280 --> 00:13:51,640 Speaker 4: have to deal with this. So there's a lot a 248 00:13:51,679 --> 00:13:53,320 Speaker 4: lot of lessons I think you can take from this, 249 00:13:54,200 --> 00:13:56,800 Speaker 4: but there's nothing dire here. It's an off year election. 250 00:13:57,280 --> 00:13:59,280 Speaker 4: We expected all these results play. 251 00:13:59,520 --> 00:14:03,000 Speaker 1: We told people that these results were coming, and a 252 00:14:03,040 --> 00:14:05,959 Speaker 1: lot of people out there said, I don't believe the polls. 253 00:14:06,040 --> 00:14:10,200 Speaker 1: Remember Hillary Clay, You're the reason Slee was gonna win. 254 00:14:10,360 --> 00:14:12,520 Speaker 1: When I said, Okay, I'll wear a beret for like, 255 00:14:12,640 --> 00:14:15,320 Speaker 1: he got seven and a half percent of the vote. 256 00:14:15,520 --> 00:14:17,040 Speaker 4: Yeah, seven and a half percent of vote. I think 257 00:14:17,040 --> 00:14:18,400 Speaker 4: I could have gotten seven and a half percent of 258 00:14:18,440 --> 00:14:20,880 Speaker 4: the vote. Honestly, I mean you know, I think. 259 00:14:20,800 --> 00:14:22,280 Speaker 3: You would have gotten more than seven and a half 260 00:14:22,320 --> 00:14:23,080 Speaker 3: percent of the vote. 261 00:14:23,240 --> 00:14:25,760 Speaker 4: So, you know, a native son of New York formerly 262 00:14:25,760 --> 00:14:28,960 Speaker 4: of the NYPD's some got decent hair. No beret, but 263 00:14:29,000 --> 00:14:31,960 Speaker 4: decent hair. Yeah, it was not a good showing for Slee. Well, 264 00:14:32,040 --> 00:14:33,640 Speaker 4: you fled the city just in time. 265 00:14:33,680 --> 00:14:35,560 Speaker 1: By the way, a lot of people are gonna say, Buck, 266 00:14:35,720 --> 00:14:36,920 Speaker 1: you know, yeah got out. 267 00:14:38,600 --> 00:14:41,920 Speaker 3: You're listening to Team forty seven with Clay and Buck. 268 00:14:45,240 --> 00:14:47,120 Speaker 1: I would like to say thank you to everybody who 269 00:14:47,160 --> 00:14:49,600 Speaker 1: has been buying my book.

Or does he stay out of that 304 00:16:30,720 --> 00:16:33,160 Speaker 1: because that can get contentious. That's a great question. I 305 00:16:33,160 --> 00:16:37,000 Speaker 1: don't know what his actual sports team affiliations are. I 306 00:16:37,000 --> 00:16:40,080 Speaker 1: mean he lived or has he gone full Florida like now? 307 00:16:40,120 --> 00:16:42,280 Speaker 1: I guess I'm supposed to root for the Miami Heat, 308 00:16:42,320 --> 00:16:46,280 Speaker 1: which still feels like cheating given the Heat Nicks rivalries 309 00:16:46,320 --> 00:16:46,920 Speaker 1: of the past. 310 00:16:47,000 --> 00:16:47,720 Speaker 2: But here we are. 311 00:16:47,800 --> 00:16:51,240 Speaker 1: Yeah, And unfortunately, the Miami Dolphins are not a NFL 312 00:16:51,320 --> 00:16:54,560 Speaker 1: franchise that anybody wants to be rooting for right now. 313 00:16:54,560 --> 00:16:55,440 Speaker 3: They're kind of a mess. 314 00:16:55,720 --> 00:16:57,520 Speaker 4: What a lab they This was the last time they 315 00:16:57,560 --> 00:16:59,280 Speaker 4: were good with Dan Marino. I mean we have to 316 00:16:59,280 --> 00:17:01,000 Speaker 4: go back to the nineth that's rough. 317 00:17:01,200 --> 00:17:04,320 Speaker 1: They have not found a quarterback basically in thirty years 318 00:17:04,480 --> 00:17:07,760 Speaker 1: since Dan Marino, and every Miami Dolphins game you go to, 319 00:17:07,920 --> 00:17:11,440 Speaker 1: there's a guy in the number thirteen. Dan Marino Jersey. 320 00:17:12,119 --> 00:17:13,600 Speaker 1: Still it doesn't. 321 00:17:13,640 --> 00:17:16,600 Speaker 4: But it's also not really the Miami Dolphin's fault because 322 00:17:16,600 --> 00:17:17,480 Speaker 4: the Laces were Out. 323 00:17:18,320 --> 00:17:20,119 Speaker 1: You know what movie they would never allow to be 324 00:17:20,200 --> 00:17:22,399 Speaker 1: made today, and certainly they would never allow it to 325 00:17:22,440 --> 00:17:26,840 Speaker 1: be sponsored by the NFL. Ace Ventura speaking of Laces Out, 326 00:17:27,320 --> 00:17:29,879 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, that movie I watched with my kids. 327 00:17:29,920 --> 00:17:30,600 Speaker 3: They loved it. 328 00:17:30,960 --> 00:17:33,280 Speaker 1: But it had Dan Marino in it, It had Don 329 00:17:33,320 --> 00:17:36,280 Speaker 1: Shula in it, and the bad guy, which would never 330 00:17:36,320 --> 00:17:40,160 Speaker 1: be allowed today spoiler alert, was actually a man pretending 331 00:17:40,200 --> 00:17:43,959 Speaker 1: to be a woman. Finkel is Einhorn if you remember 332 00:17:44,040 --> 00:17:49,000 Speaker 1: the Einhorn is Finkel if you remember that. Memorable Discoveries 333 00:17:49,080 --> 00:17:53,680 Speaker 1: played the soundtrack from the Crying Game When the Revelation Happened, 334 00:17:53,680 --> 00:17:58,440 Speaker 1: which is another movie about a lady with a man surprise, 335 00:17:59,240 --> 00:18:03,040 Speaker 1: and that would never ever be allowed to be made 336 00:18:03,040 --> 00:18:05,720 Speaker 1: these days, that's for sure. I just loved the idea 337 00:18:05,800 --> 00:18:08,119 Speaker 1: of if the NFL were involved in a movie that 338 00:18:08,240 --> 00:18:10,280 Speaker 1: was considered in any way. By the way, this was 339 00:18:10,320 --> 00:18:13,320 Speaker 1: what ninety four ninety something like that. I mean, it 340 00:18:13,400 --> 00:18:17,560 Speaker 1: wasn't that long ago, and I'm surprised they still air it. 341 00:18:18,520 --> 00:18:20,639 Speaker 1: You know, they have to give trigger warnings now before 342 00:18:20,880 --> 00:18:23,280 Speaker 1: all different sorts of Disney movies. I would imagine their 343 00:18:23,359 --> 00:18:27,280 Speaker 1: trigger warnings on this thing, probably many different places, and 344 00:18:27,359 --> 00:18:29,879 Speaker 1: many of you are triggered in the New York City 345 00:18:29,960 --> 00:18:33,760 Speaker 1: era area. I wanted to play this, Buck, because I 346 00:18:33,840 --> 00:18:35,679 Speaker 1: flagged it yesterday and we didn't get to it. We 347 00:18:35,720 --> 00:18:39,240 Speaker 1: didn't play very much of Mom Donnie's victory speech because 348 00:18:39,240 --> 00:18:40,800 Speaker 1: I didn't want to make all of you throw up. 349 00:18:41,200 --> 00:18:44,320 Speaker 1: But I did think this was a really kind of 350 00:18:44,520 --> 00:18:49,560 Speaker 1: useful contrast. First, let's go back to nineteen eighty six. 351 00:18:50,240 --> 00:18:55,720 Speaker 1: President Ronald Reagan said his nine most terrifying words were 352 00:18:56,000 --> 00:18:57,480 Speaker 1: as follows, cut twenty. 353 00:18:57,640 --> 00:18:59,960 Speaker 3: I think you all know that I've always felt that 354 00:19:00,000 --> 00:19:04,280 Speaker 3: the nine most terrifying words in the English language are 355 00:19:05,000 --> 00:19:07,119 Speaker 3: I'm from the government and I'm here to help. 356 00:19:08,480 --> 00:19:14,359 Speaker 1: Okay, well known Reagan line. Here is what Mamdannie said 357 00:19:14,440 --> 00:19:18,480 Speaker 1: last night, which is a direct repudiation of that iconic 358 00:19:18,560 --> 00:19:21,640 Speaker 1: Ronald Reagan line, and it is cut nineteen. 359 00:19:22,119 --> 00:19:25,320 Speaker 5: We will prove that there is no problem too large 360 00:19:25,359 --> 00:19:29,040 Speaker 5: for government to solve, and no concern too small for 361 00:19:29,160 --> 00:19:30,000 Speaker 5: it to care about. 362 00:19:30,880 --> 00:19:34,480 Speaker 1: This is just like he distilled in essence my worst nightmare. 363 00:19:34,520 --> 00:19:34,800 Speaker 3: Buck. 364 00:19:35,000 --> 00:19:36,880 Speaker 1: Let's play that one more time so you guys can 365 00:19:36,920 --> 00:19:40,480 Speaker 1: hear it? I mean, because it is a director repudiation 366 00:19:41,040 --> 00:19:43,080 Speaker 1: of what Reagan said cut nineteen. 367 00:19:43,200 --> 00:19:43,680 Speaker 3: This is my. 368 00:19:43,720 --> 00:19:46,200 Speaker 1: Concern about New York City. Do you think the government 369 00:19:46,240 --> 00:19:49,400 Speaker 1: handles anything well? Mamdani says, they want to do everything 370 00:19:49,440 --> 00:19:49,679 Speaker 1: for you. 371 00:19:50,160 --> 00:19:53,359 Speaker 5: We will prove that there is no problem too large 372 00:19:53,400 --> 00:19:57,080 Speaker 5: for government to solve and no concern too small for 373 00:19:57,200 --> 00:19:59,240 Speaker 5: it to care about. 374 00:20:00,119 --> 00:20:00,479 Speaker 2: Awful. 375 00:20:01,720 --> 00:20:03,200 Speaker 1: I think that I read a big piece in the 376 00:20:03,200 --> 00:20:06,360 Speaker 1: New York Times. They had their biographical sketch of Mom 377 00:20:06,480 --> 00:20:10,000 Speaker 1: Donnie and his campaign, thousands of words. I read it 378 00:20:10,080 --> 00:20:13,360 Speaker 1: this morning. The only thing I can say about Mandannie 379 00:20:13,600 --> 00:20:16,359 Speaker 1: is the hope is that he just is going to 380 00:20:16,440 --> 00:20:19,159 Speaker 1: abandon trying to deliver on the vast majority of the 381 00:20:19,160 --> 00:20:20,879 Speaker 1: things that he claimed he was going to deliver on. 382 00:20:22,920 --> 00:20:25,680 Speaker 3: Yeah, ives Capinario. That's bad. 383 00:20:25,760 --> 00:20:28,639 Speaker 4: I wish I could say something better about how I 384 00:20:28,680 --> 00:20:31,719 Speaker 4: think this is likely to go. I also, you're not 385 00:20:31,760 --> 00:20:35,560 Speaker 4: going to see the huge outflow from New York uh 386 00:20:35,640 --> 00:20:37,800 Speaker 4: and I think that's largely because. 387 00:20:38,240 --> 00:20:40,280 Speaker 2: If COVID didn't drive you out of New York City, 388 00:20:40,320 --> 00:20:41,440 Speaker 2: I don't think Mom Danny will. 389 00:20:42,040 --> 00:20:44,240 Speaker 4: And now that may be also because people are rooted 390 00:20:44,280 --> 00:20:46,600 Speaker 4: there in ways that even if they wanted to leave, 391 00:20:46,640 --> 00:20:47,240 Speaker 4: it's really hard. 392 00:20:47,240 --> 00:20:47,399 Speaker 2: You know. 393 00:20:47,400 --> 00:20:49,560 Speaker 4: They got their kids in school, their job, their family, 394 00:20:49,680 --> 00:20:52,320 Speaker 4: and I get that moving is not as easy as 395 00:20:52,520 --> 00:20:55,760 Speaker 4: I happen to be at a place in life where 396 00:20:56,400 --> 00:20:58,240 Speaker 4: not only did I want to move, but I had 397 00:20:58,240 --> 00:21:01,920 Speaker 4: my then fiance who was also like, let's move to Florida, 398 00:21:01,960 --> 00:21:03,640 Speaker 4: and it was all it all felt that it all 399 00:21:03,680 --> 00:21:06,120 Speaker 4: came together a lot of people. It's more complicated than that. 400 00:21:06,320 --> 00:21:08,439 Speaker 4: This matters though, for the budget of New York City 401 00:21:09,400 --> 00:21:13,240 Speaker 4: because a very small percent. It really actually mirrors the 402 00:21:13,320 --> 00:21:17,520 Speaker 4: national tax reality, which is that one percent of New 403 00:21:17,600 --> 00:21:20,320 Speaker 4: Yorkers pay fifty percent of the taxes. And you can 404 00:21:20,800 --> 00:21:25,840 Speaker 4: break it down even further point zero one percent of 405 00:21:25,880 --> 00:21:29,479 Speaker 4: New Yorkers pay a shockingly large I don't know what 406 00:21:29,520 --> 00:21:33,159 Speaker 4: the figure is, but a shockingly large amount of New 407 00:21:33,240 --> 00:21:36,400 Speaker 4: York City's taxes. So it's not just the high earners, 408 00:21:36,400 --> 00:21:40,439 Speaker 4: it's really the ultra high earners. And so all the 409 00:21:40,480 --> 00:21:43,639 Speaker 4: complaining about millionaires and billionaires that Bernie Sanders and others do. 410 00:21:44,720 --> 00:21:50,359 Speaker 4: Without their earnings two tax you can't have the socialism 411 00:21:50,640 --> 00:21:52,680 Speaker 4: that these people are advocating for. 412 00:21:52,880 --> 00:21:54,840 Speaker 2: So there we have it. 413 00:21:54,920 --> 00:21:56,760 Speaker 4: Man, they're gonna learn I think they're gonna learn the 414 00:21:56,760 --> 00:22:00,280 Speaker 4: hard way about New York or about Mam Donnie rather 415 00:22:00,400 --> 00:22:00,960 Speaker 4: in New York. 416 00:22:01,800 --> 00:22:05,160 Speaker 2: This was also interesting. This has cut seventeen. 417 00:22:05,240 --> 00:22:09,760 Speaker 4: He very clearly from his victory speech here made this 418 00:22:10,160 --> 00:22:11,920 Speaker 4: about Trump play seventeen. 419 00:22:12,080 --> 00:22:15,560 Speaker 5: If anyone can show a nation betrayed by Donald Trump 420 00:22:15,840 --> 00:22:18,520 Speaker 5: how to defeat him, it is the city that gave 421 00:22:18,640 --> 00:22:26,000 Speaker 5: rise to him. And if there is any way to 422 00:22:26,160 --> 00:22:30,560 Speaker 5: terrify a despot, it is by dismantling the very conditions 423 00:22:30,720 --> 00:22:32,800 Speaker 5: that allowed him to accumulate power. 424 00:22:36,480 --> 00:22:37,760 Speaker 3: This is not only how we. 425 00:22:37,720 --> 00:22:44,600 Speaker 5: Stopped Trump, it's how we stop the next one. So, 426 00:22:44,760 --> 00:22:47,919 Speaker 5: Donald Trump, since I know you're watching. 427 00:22:49,400 --> 00:22:52,080 Speaker 3: I have four words for you. 428 00:22:53,359 --> 00:22:55,160 Speaker 6: Turn the volume up. 429 00:22:57,920 --> 00:23:00,359 Speaker 4: This will all look very funny in retrospect when this 430 00:23:00,400 --> 00:23:03,359 Speaker 4: guy has made a complete mess of New York and 431 00:23:03,520 --> 00:23:05,320 Speaker 4: is a joke and everyone realizes that he has no 432 00:23:05,359 --> 00:23:07,800 Speaker 4: idea what he's doing. Because that's what's happened in every 433 00:23:08,040 --> 00:23:11,159 Speaker 4: every city that elects some super progressive, you end up 434 00:23:11,160 --> 00:23:14,200 Speaker 4: with someone like who's the mayor Frey who just won 435 00:23:14,359 --> 00:23:17,760 Speaker 4: and again barely Minneapolili. 436 00:23:18,280 --> 00:23:21,040 Speaker 3: Yeah, the guy was crying at the casket. He's in tears. 437 00:23:21,160 --> 00:23:22,920 Speaker 3: The casket of George Floyd. 438 00:23:23,480 --> 00:23:27,760 Speaker 4: The guy is such a such an absolute clown. Portland, 439 00:23:27,800 --> 00:23:32,560 Speaker 4: San Francisco, Chicago, all the all these very progressive mayors 440 00:23:32,560 --> 00:23:33,360 Speaker 4: are disasters. 441 00:23:34,280 --> 00:23:35,400 Speaker 2: They can't point to. 442 00:23:35,359 --> 00:23:39,280 Speaker 4: One who's a real lefty and say, well, look at 443 00:23:39,280 --> 00:23:42,080 Speaker 4: what a great look at how awesome that city is going. 444 00:23:42,160 --> 00:23:44,080 Speaker 2: No, they always ruin it. So he's going to make. 445 00:23:43,960 --> 00:23:46,400 Speaker 4: A mess of things as well. But I think it's 446 00:23:46,520 --> 00:23:49,480 Speaker 4: worth noting that he's just the mayor of a city, 447 00:23:49,560 --> 00:23:52,399 Speaker 4: and he somehow made this for his audience at least 448 00:23:52,760 --> 00:23:56,400 Speaker 4: about Trump and the fantasyland stuff too, about a despot. 449 00:23:56,800 --> 00:23:59,760 Speaker 2: You know, you wouldn't have crowds of people cheering. 450 00:23:59,480 --> 00:24:03,040 Speaker 4: For you, you a little twerp if he was really 451 00:24:03,080 --> 00:24:05,600 Speaker 4: a despot and they were all scared of what the 452 00:24:05,720 --> 00:24:08,360 Speaker 4: evil king would do to you, like they just live 453 00:24:08,400 --> 00:24:09,360 Speaker 4: in a fantasy land. 454 00:24:09,400 --> 00:24:11,240 Speaker 2: The whole thing is make believe. 455 00:24:11,480 --> 00:24:14,600 Speaker 1: How about Schumer getting asked who he voted for and 456 00:24:14,640 --> 00:24:15,639 Speaker 1: not giving an answer. 457 00:24:16,920 --> 00:24:19,600 Speaker 2: I love that's classic. 458 00:24:19,200 --> 00:24:21,080 Speaker 3: The juck Schumer is. 459 00:24:21,400 --> 00:24:24,879 Speaker 1: I mean, if you just step back and don't overthink it, 460 00:24:24,920 --> 00:24:26,960 Speaker 1: but you just take a step back and think about 461 00:24:27,000 --> 00:24:30,679 Speaker 1: how desperate he must be every day. He's what seventy 462 00:24:30,720 --> 00:24:33,040 Speaker 1: five or whatever, the heck he is. He should be 463 00:24:33,280 --> 00:24:36,960 Speaker 1: just comfortably becoming a grandpa. His time has passed. He 464 00:24:37,040 --> 00:24:41,480 Speaker 1: has no resonance at all with his current party, and 465 00:24:41,720 --> 00:24:45,440 Speaker 1: he basically just tries to avoid being noticed all the time, 466 00:24:45,520 --> 00:24:49,160 Speaker 1: despite the fact that he's sent it minority leader. And 467 00:24:49,359 --> 00:24:53,400 Speaker 1: I really think he lives in constant fear that AOC 468 00:24:53,640 --> 00:24:56,639 Speaker 1: is going to decide that she's gonna primary him, because 469 00:24:56,680 --> 00:24:58,960 Speaker 1: he'll get smoked in the primary and his political career 470 00:24:59,000 --> 00:24:59,400 Speaker 1: will be over. 471 00:25:00,640 --> 00:25:03,120 Speaker 4: AC's going to run for president, I might add, and 472 00:25:03,680 --> 00:25:06,520 Speaker 4: she's going to be I think a top contender for 473 00:25:06,560 --> 00:25:07,160 Speaker 4: the Democrats. 474 00:25:07,160 --> 00:25:10,080 Speaker 2: I don't think she will win the nomination, but you can. 475 00:25:09,960 --> 00:25:12,120 Speaker 4: Just see how we've all you and I agree here 476 00:25:13,000 --> 00:25:15,320 Speaker 4: Newsom at the top of the ticket, AOC as the VP, 477 00:25:15,960 --> 00:25:18,280 Speaker 4: but she's going to make her own run, and it's 478 00:25:18,320 --> 00:25:26,479 Speaker 4: because she represents the real vanguard of the Democrat Party today. 479 00:25:26,520 --> 00:25:30,840 Speaker 1: The best option that Chuck Schumer has is actually that AOC. 480 00:25:31,080 --> 00:25:33,480 Speaker 1: The best option is that she doesn't want his job, 481 00:25:33,760 --> 00:25:36,239 Speaker 1: that she thinks his job is not significant enough, so 482 00:25:36,280 --> 00:25:38,359 Speaker 1: she's going for the big prize. Well to the Team 483 00:25:38,440 --> 00:25:42,320 Speaker 1: forty seven podcast is sponsored by Good Ranchers. 484 00:25:41,960 --> 00:25:44,159 Speaker 2: Making the American farm Strong again. 485 00:25:45,680 --> 00:25:49,000 Speaker 3: You're listening to Team forty seven with Clay and Buck. 486 00:25:51,880 --> 00:25:54,960 Speaker 1: I know that w R listeners in New York City 487 00:25:55,600 --> 00:25:58,520 Speaker 1: have been unhappy with me because I told you all 488 00:25:58,600 --> 00:26:01,840 Speaker 1: that we were going to see an absolute destruction of 489 00:26:02,000 --> 00:26:05,720 Speaker 1: Curtis Liwa, and that occurred, and that Mom Donnie was 490 00:26:05,760 --> 00:26:07,639 Speaker 1: gonna win unless he was going head to head with 491 00:26:07,680 --> 00:26:10,800 Speaker 1: only one person, even if it was the awful Andrew Cuomo. 492 00:26:11,440 --> 00:26:13,480 Speaker 1: But those of you who have been listening for a 493 00:26:13,480 --> 00:26:17,360 Speaker 1: while will remember that I said there was a shining 494 00:26:19,119 --> 00:26:23,560 Speaker 1: better day to come for New Yorkers even if Mom 495 00:26:23,640 --> 00:26:26,920 Speaker 1: Donnie won, and I said because I really do think 496 00:26:26,960 --> 00:26:30,760 Speaker 1: it will open the door to winning a more significant office, 497 00:26:31,119 --> 00:26:35,600 Speaker 1: which is the governorship, and the governorship of New York 498 00:26:35,640 --> 00:26:41,959 Speaker 1: with the awful Kathy Hokel in office, who basically decapitated 499 00:26:42,400 --> 00:26:46,960 Speaker 1: Andrew Cuomo over this sexual harassment scandal that wasn't actually 500 00:26:47,160 --> 00:26:49,320 Speaker 1: in the grand scheme of things that bad. I mean, 501 00:26:49,320 --> 00:26:52,440 Speaker 1: what Cuomo did during COVID was infinitely worse than any 502 00:26:52,520 --> 00:26:56,000 Speaker 1: of the allegations against him relating to sexual harassment. So 503 00:26:56,160 --> 00:26:59,480 Speaker 1: now we have the awful Hathy Hochl as governor, maybe 504 00:26:59,480 --> 00:27:03,200 Speaker 1: the worst govern in America. Which is obviously JB. Pritzker, 505 00:27:03,440 --> 00:27:06,359 Speaker 1: Gretchen Whitmer, Gavin Newsom. There's a lot of people I 506 00:27:06,359 --> 00:27:08,680 Speaker 1: think we could toss out there and say are in 507 00:27:08,680 --> 00:27:12,480 Speaker 1: that mix. But this morning on Fox and Friends, I 508 00:27:12,480 --> 00:27:16,679 Speaker 1: don't think it's coincidental on her timing. Elie Stephonic, former 509 00:27:16,800 --> 00:27:19,480 Speaker 1: New York Congressman. She would have been the ambassador to 510 00:27:19,480 --> 00:27:22,080 Speaker 1: the UN, but she decided to go back to Congress 511 00:27:22,080 --> 00:27:24,879 Speaker 1: to help because the majority was not very substantial there. 512 00:27:25,600 --> 00:27:28,480 Speaker 1: She has announced that she is running for governor to 513 00:27:28,520 --> 00:27:31,960 Speaker 1: make New York affordable and safe. She did that this morning, Buck, 514 00:27:32,040 --> 00:27:34,040 Speaker 1: this was a positive Let's listen, cut one. 515 00:27:34,160 --> 00:27:37,639 Speaker 6: I'm running for governor to make New York affordable and safe. 516 00:27:37,680 --> 00:27:41,080 Speaker 6: We have seen decades of single party rule led by Democrats, 517 00:27:41,240 --> 00:27:43,840 Speaker 6: and Kathy Hochl is the worst governor in America. New 518 00:27:43,880 --> 00:27:46,600 Speaker 6: York is the most unaffordable state of the nation, with 519 00:27:46,720 --> 00:27:50,280 Speaker 6: the highest taxes, the highest energy bills, the highest utility bills. 520 00:27:50,480 --> 00:27:53,320 Speaker 6: We also have a crime crisis because Kathy Hochel has 521 00:27:53,359 --> 00:27:56,560 Speaker 6: brought us failed bail reform and has embraced the defund 522 00:27:56,560 --> 00:27:59,639 Speaker 6: the police. Democrats and after this week Ainsley, when we 523 00:27:59,680 --> 00:28:04,119 Speaker 6: saw a raging anti semi prohamas communist who wants to 524 00:28:04,200 --> 00:28:07,720 Speaker 6: raise taxes, and frankly, he barely won the majority of 525 00:28:07,760 --> 00:28:10,960 Speaker 6: New York City voters. Kathy Holkle endorsed him and bent 526 00:28:11,040 --> 00:28:12,720 Speaker 6: the niche she has failed New Yorkers. 527 00:28:14,720 --> 00:28:15,440 Speaker 3: I think that's right. 528 00:28:15,960 --> 00:28:19,080 Speaker 1: And so if you are a frustrated New York voter 529 00:28:19,240 --> 00:28:22,120 Speaker 1: right now, if you are a New York City area resident, 530 00:28:22,200 --> 00:28:24,199 Speaker 1: and you are thinking to yourself, oh my goodness, this 531 00:28:24,280 --> 00:28:28,679 Speaker 1: is awful. Next year the state gets the opportunity to 532 00:28:28,720 --> 00:28:32,160 Speaker 1: punch back and react to what happened in New York City. 533 00:28:32,600 --> 00:28:35,879 Speaker 1: And I do think that Alice Stefanic would be an 534 00:28:35,880 --> 00:28:39,719 Speaker 1: incredible choice for New York. She is infinitely better than 535 00:28:39,800 --> 00:28:44,120 Speaker 1: Kathy Hochel. She's gonna be fighting an uphill battle, but 536 00:28:44,320 --> 00:28:48,640 Speaker 1: oftentimes election cycle swing from one direction to another, and 537 00:28:48,720 --> 00:28:52,200 Speaker 1: electing a communist in New York City maybe you want 538 00:28:52,240 --> 00:28:57,600 Speaker 1: to elect then a decently reasonable, rational person to be governor. 539 00:28:57,640 --> 00:29:00,479 Speaker 1: So I wanted to start with that buck because I 540 00:29:00,560 --> 00:29:04,560 Speaker 1: wanted to start with at least some positivity after a 541 00:29:04,600 --> 00:29:05,120 Speaker 1: tough week. 542 00:29:05,440 --> 00:29:05,960 Speaker 3: So there you go. 543 00:29:06,040 --> 00:29:08,920 Speaker 1: The positivity is I do think this helps at least 544 00:29:08,960 --> 00:29:10,080 Speaker 1: Stefanic a great deal. 545 00:29:10,160 --> 00:29:11,040 Speaker 3: That mom Donnie won. 546 00:29:12,120 --> 00:29:15,040 Speaker 4: It would be so nice for the Empire state to 547 00:29:15,280 --> 00:29:19,320 Speaker 4: return to a place of sanity. You're never going to 548 00:29:19,400 --> 00:29:22,120 Speaker 4: get Texas or Florida policies in New York, although wouldn't 549 00:29:22,120 --> 00:29:25,560 Speaker 4: that be nice. But you will be able to, I think, 550 00:29:25,960 --> 00:29:28,800 Speaker 4: have a very close contest in the next governor's race 551 00:29:29,160 --> 00:29:32,560 Speaker 4: because one Hokl is terrible and two Stefanic is a 552 00:29:32,800 --> 00:29:36,640 Speaker 4: pretty talented and solid choice to run on the Republican side, 553 00:29:36,760 --> 00:29:39,320 Speaker 4: So that that is good. And also to your point 554 00:29:39,320 --> 00:29:41,360 Speaker 4: about how this has been a tough week. We lost 555 00:29:41,480 --> 00:29:43,680 Speaker 4: races we were supposed to lose. Yep, there was no 556 00:29:43,840 --> 00:29:47,680 Speaker 4: big shock or surprise at all, and that's just the 557 00:29:47,720 --> 00:29:51,080 Speaker 4: way it's going to go sometimes. So we dust ourselves off, 558 00:29:51,120 --> 00:29:53,080 Speaker 4: we move forward. Remember Trump is still in charge, He's 559 00:29:53,120 --> 00:29:57,200 Speaker 4: still doing great things. And one of them is just 560 00:29:57,240 --> 00:30:01,320 Speaker 4: pointing out this has cut three Clay that Nancy Pelosi's 561 00:30:01,360 --> 00:30:05,840 Speaker 4: retirement is perhaps the greatest act of patriotism she has 562 00:30:05,880 --> 00:30:08,600 Speaker 4: ever she has ever made. Play three. 563 00:30:09,920 --> 00:30:12,280 Speaker 7: I think she's an evil woman. I'm glad she's retiring. 564 00:30:12,360 --> 00:30:16,080 Speaker 7: I think she did the country a great service by retiring. 565 00:30:16,120 --> 00:30:20,240 Speaker 7: I think she was a tremendous liability for the country. 566 00:30:21,160 --> 00:30:23,560 Speaker 7: I think she was an evil woman who did a 567 00:30:23,600 --> 00:30:27,600 Speaker 7: poor job to costs the country a lot in damages 568 00:30:27,760 --> 00:30:30,760 Speaker 7: and in reputation. I thought she was terrible, thank you 569 00:30:30,840 --> 00:30:31,280 Speaker 7: very much. 570 00:30:32,680 --> 00:30:35,880 Speaker 2: I like that he's just letting him rip. Look, she's retiring. 571 00:30:36,080 --> 00:30:39,840 Speaker 4: He's not at a at a at a situation here 572 00:30:39,880 --> 00:30:41,560 Speaker 4: where he has to say nice things, and he's not 573 00:30:41,560 --> 00:30:43,280 Speaker 4: going to say nice things because those would be untrue. 574 00:30:43,320 --> 00:30:44,040 Speaker 2: I think Nancy. 575 00:30:43,800 --> 00:30:47,400 Speaker 4: Pelosi has been deeply destructive to the country, and I 576 00:30:47,440 --> 00:30:50,440 Speaker 4: think it'll be a better place without her wielding the 577 00:30:50,480 --> 00:30:54,160 Speaker 4: iron fist of Pelosi over the Democrats in the House. 578 00:30:54,640 --> 00:30:58,920 Speaker 4: So let's see the Democrats really are without Pelosi running 579 00:30:58,960 --> 00:31:03,000 Speaker 4: cover and and keeping them from being completely insane in 580 00:31:03,040 --> 00:31:04,400 Speaker 4: public before elections. 581 00:31:04,760 --> 00:31:09,840 Speaker 1: I do think it has to really gall Nancy Pelosi 582 00:31:10,480 --> 00:31:14,320 Speaker 1: that she had to step down as Trump is at 583 00:31:14,360 --> 00:31:16,080 Speaker 1: his most descendant power. 584 00:31:16,960 --> 00:31:19,480 Speaker 3: That's kind of a you know, chef's kiss. 585 00:31:19,480 --> 00:31:23,120 Speaker 1: If I were Trump advisor there, I would say, you 586 00:31:23,120 --> 00:31:26,600 Speaker 1: know what, I love that Nancy Pelosi recognized that it's 587 00:31:26,640 --> 00:31:29,320 Speaker 1: time for her to step down, and I couldn't think 588 00:31:29,360 --> 00:31:32,480 Speaker 1: it's better for the country that she's leaving the fight 589 00:31:32,920 --> 00:31:36,360 Speaker 1: right as she recognizes that I've won all the battles. 590 00:31:36,440 --> 00:31:40,640 Speaker 1: I wish Nancy well in retirement, and the biggest loss 591 00:31:40,680 --> 00:31:43,440 Speaker 1: we're going to have with Nancy is I've been trying 592 00:31:43,440 --> 00:31:45,120 Speaker 1: to figure out how to be as good of an 593 00:31:45,120 --> 00:31:46,120 Speaker 1: investor as her. 594 00:31:46,560 --> 00:31:48,560 Speaker 3: I don't know what we're all going to do without 595 00:31:48,600 --> 00:31:49,040 Speaker 3: having the. 596 00:31:49,040 --> 00:31:52,240 Speaker 1: Nancy Pelosi stock tracker out there to make us all rich. 597 00:31:52,680 --> 00:31:56,880 Speaker 1: She's the Warren Buffett of Congress and really kind of gigger. 598 00:31:57,560 --> 00:32:01,400 Speaker 1: But I think Trump genuinely detests her, So that came 599 00:32:01,440 --> 00:32:04,680 Speaker 1: across in certainly the answer that he gave in that 600 00:32:04,720 --> 00:32:11,160 Speaker 1: press conference yesterday. They're also continuing to battle, by the way, 601 00:32:11,640 --> 00:32:15,560 Speaker 1: on the government shutdown, and we'll see, Buck. My thought 602 00:32:15,600 --> 00:32:21,440 Speaker 1: is that when people get frustrated at airports, then it's Democrats, 603 00:32:21,440 --> 00:32:24,680 Speaker 1: it's Republicans, it's independents. A lot of people will put 604 00:32:24,800 --> 00:32:30,520 Speaker 1: up with political shenanigans until it starts directly impacting their 605 00:32:30,640 --> 00:32:34,400 Speaker 1: day to day existence. And for those of us who travel, 606 00:32:34,640 --> 00:32:36,560 Speaker 1: and those of us who are trying to pick people 607 00:32:36,640 --> 00:32:38,840 Speaker 1: up at airports, and those of us who were just 608 00:32:38,920 --> 00:32:42,520 Speaker 1: trying to get around the country, this thing. Can you imagine, Buck, 609 00:32:43,000 --> 00:32:45,760 Speaker 1: if this thing extended for another few weeks and we 610 00:32:45,880 --> 00:32:52,320 Speaker 1: moved into the Thanksgiving travel season. That would be absolutely bonkers. 611 00:32:52,360 --> 00:32:55,520 Speaker 1: It's the most difficult time of year to be traveling anyway, 612 00:32:55,960 --> 00:32:57,880 Speaker 1: and then you're going to layer it on top of 613 00:32:58,080 --> 00:33:01,720 Speaker 1: people not getting paid and all of the chaos. And really, 614 00:33:02,120 --> 00:33:06,240 Speaker 1: the Democrat objectives here have always been very difficult to 615 00:33:06,680 --> 00:33:10,040 Speaker 1: explain in a succinct fashion. And they're the ones shutting 616 00:33:10,080 --> 00:33:12,800 Speaker 1: down the government. And I feel like they got their 617 00:33:12,840 --> 00:33:16,400 Speaker 1: no Kings protests, they got their election wins in New 618 00:33:16,480 --> 00:33:20,000 Speaker 1: Jersey and Virginia. There's zero doubt that Virginia was aided 619 00:33:20,360 --> 00:33:23,640 Speaker 1: because there's so many federal employees by the fact that 620 00:33:23,680 --> 00:33:26,600 Speaker 1: the government shut down happened. Now, let's go ahead and 621 00:33:26,680 --> 00:33:29,400 Speaker 1: just open the government back up. And in fact, he's 622 00:33:29,440 --> 00:33:32,720 Speaker 1: the same guy. This is exactly what John Fetterman said. 623 00:33:32,720 --> 00:33:35,360 Speaker 1: Buck play cut seven World. 624 00:33:35,200 --> 00:33:39,040 Speaker 8: Kitchens feeding as government workers were in my neighborhood in 625 00:33:39,120 --> 00:33:42,880 Speaker 8: Navy Yard. I mean, it's really impacting these folks. It's like, 626 00:33:43,280 --> 00:33:46,000 Speaker 8: you know, we've all been paid, but all these workers 627 00:33:46,040 --> 00:33:49,280 Speaker 8: haven't been paid. The Capitol police that are protecting here 628 00:33:49,320 --> 00:33:52,920 Speaker 8: haven't been paid. Our military, Why that's not controversial. Pay 629 00:33:52,960 --> 00:33:56,360 Speaker 8: our military, pay all these folks, and I'll make sure 630 00:33:56,880 --> 00:33:59,920 Speaker 8: everyone's fed. Now, why would we put ourselves in that 631 00:34:00,120 --> 00:34:02,640 Speaker 8: situation at this point? You know, we've had the election. 632 00:34:03,040 --> 00:34:05,680 Speaker 8: Now we can all reopen and I'll find a way forward. 633 00:34:05,720 --> 00:34:08,840 Speaker 1: Now, this is kind of crazy, Buck, when you really 634 00:34:08,880 --> 00:34:12,399 Speaker 1: break it all down, that maybe the thing that we 635 00:34:12,400 --> 00:34:15,200 Speaker 1: were most wrong on on the show in four years, 636 00:34:15,239 --> 00:34:18,959 Speaker 1: aside from the Red Wave twenty twenty two, I never 637 00:34:19,000 --> 00:34:22,439 Speaker 1: would have ever believed having watched the twenty twenty two 638 00:34:22,840 --> 00:34:26,840 Speaker 1: Senate campaigns, I never would have believed that John Fetterman 639 00:34:26,880 --> 00:34:31,360 Speaker 1: would end up one of the most irrational, reasonable, efficient, 640 00:34:31,480 --> 00:34:35,280 Speaker 1: and effective senators when it comes to just analyzing basic 641 00:34:35,360 --> 00:34:37,719 Speaker 1: things like this. Would you have ever bought in, like 642 00:34:38,080 --> 00:34:40,200 Speaker 1: if we went back in time to when he was 643 00:34:40,280 --> 00:34:43,800 Speaker 1: engaged in the debate, when he was running against doctor Oz, 644 00:34:44,280 --> 00:34:47,080 Speaker 1: I never would have ever believed that this could be 645 00:34:47,239 --> 00:34:51,319 Speaker 1: a situation where Fetterman were lauding and saying, Hey, this 646 00:34:51,400 --> 00:34:54,920 Speaker 1: guy is actually one of the best troop tellers on 647 00:34:55,000 --> 00:34:58,000 Speaker 1: Capitol Hill. But I mean, everything he just said was 648 00:34:58,080 --> 00:35:02,480 Speaker 1: eminently reasonable, not particularly early part is in and rational 649 00:35:02,719 --> 00:35:04,680 Speaker 1: And I can't believe I'm saying this, but we need 650 00:35:04,840 --> 00:35:08,440 Speaker 1: five or six more John Fetterman's in order to get 651 00:35:08,480 --> 00:35:10,600 Speaker 1: the country back up and running and get the government open. 652 00:35:12,200 --> 00:35:14,480 Speaker 4: What are the Democrats really achieving with all the Well, 653 00:35:14,520 --> 00:35:17,319 Speaker 4: that's the question. That's the thing that we're gonna have 654 00:35:17,400 --> 00:35:19,799 Speaker 4: to look back on when this eventually ends. 655 00:35:19,840 --> 00:35:20,840 Speaker 2: What have they gotten. 656 00:35:21,120 --> 00:35:24,040 Speaker 4: I do not think Republicans can give them what they want, 657 00:35:24,080 --> 00:35:26,160 Speaker 4: because then you've said a precedent. I might add, the 658 00:35:26,200 --> 00:35:29,280 Speaker 4: minority Party can say I just want billions of dollars 659 00:35:29,280 --> 00:35:31,520 Speaker 4: that have nothing to do with the actual funding of 660 00:35:31,560 --> 00:35:34,520 Speaker 4: the government, or else I'm gonna take my ball and 661 00:35:34,560 --> 00:35:38,760 Speaker 4: go home, or else I'm I'm going to stop things 662 00:35:38,760 --> 00:35:39,919 Speaker 4: from happening in DC. 663 00:35:41,480 --> 00:35:41,839 Speaker 2: You can't. 664 00:35:41,920 --> 00:35:45,440 Speaker 4: You can't negotiate with terrorists, my friends. This is congressional terrorism, 665 00:35:45,480 --> 00:35:48,759 Speaker 4: so to speak. This is not playing by the pre 666 00:35:48,960 --> 00:35:52,720 Speaker 4: established rules. So eventually you're gonna have to just see 667 00:35:53,320 --> 00:35:55,960 Speaker 4: who's got the grit, who stays together as a as 668 00:35:56,000 --> 00:35:59,080 Speaker 4: a caucus, and I'm I'm hopeful Republicans stay with it. 669 00:36:00,239 --> 00:36:04,080 Speaker 1: I do think the one thing Trump keeps saying, hey, 670 00:36:04,120 --> 00:36:08,080 Speaker 1: we need the filibuster. You know, they've moderated the filibuster 671 00:36:08,239 --> 00:36:11,640 Speaker 1: on ending the filibuster. They've moderated the filibuster on a 672 00:36:11,640 --> 00:36:15,520 Speaker 1: great number of different aspects. To me, there is a 673 00:36:15,640 --> 00:36:18,600 Speaker 1: decent argument to be made, and I think our friend 674 00:36:19,520 --> 00:36:22,800 Speaker 1: Senator Ron Johnson from Wisconsin has made this argument publicly 675 00:36:22,840 --> 00:36:25,200 Speaker 1: for some time, and in fact, if he's listening, he's 676 00:36:25,239 --> 00:36:27,040 Speaker 1: welcome to call in and make it better than I'm 677 00:36:27,040 --> 00:36:31,160 Speaker 1: about to make it. But can we just do away 678 00:36:31,440 --> 00:36:35,840 Speaker 1: with the ability to shut down the government and require 679 00:36:35,880 --> 00:36:39,000 Speaker 1: there be sixty votes to reopen it? That doesn't seem 680 00:36:39,040 --> 00:36:42,360 Speaker 1: like the filibuster for many things makes sense. Should we 681 00:36:42,400 --> 00:36:45,120 Speaker 1: have a filibuster when it comes to whether you can 682 00:36:45,160 --> 00:36:49,440 Speaker 1: add Supreme Court justices or add senators from New Jersey, 683 00:36:49,600 --> 00:36:50,759 Speaker 1: senators from. 684 00:36:50,719 --> 00:36:53,280 Speaker 4: You can't have a minority of the Senate say sorry, 685 00:36:53,320 --> 00:36:55,080 Speaker 4: no government business till I get what I want. 686 00:36:55,080 --> 00:36:55,680 Speaker 2: That's crazy. 687 00:36:55,800 --> 00:36:59,440 Speaker 1: That would seem like a solution. And look, Republicans may 688 00:36:59,440 --> 00:37:02,719 Speaker 1: be frustrate by that somewhere down the line, but the 689 00:37:02,800 --> 00:37:06,400 Speaker 1: majority party should be able to keep the government open. 690 00:37:06,880 --> 00:37:11,520 Speaker 1: That seems very basic to me, and so you know, 691 00:37:12,120 --> 00:37:16,040 Speaker 1: I would love to hear Senator Johnson explain exactly that perspective. 692 00:37:16,280 --> 00:37:20,440 Speaker 1: But it seems like a reasonable middle ground that doesn't 693 00:37:20,480 --> 00:37:24,919 Speaker 1: require eliminating the entirety of the filibuster and instead would 694 00:37:25,080 --> 00:37:27,920 Speaker 1: just allow government to be open so that we can 695 00:37:27,960 --> 00:37:31,560 Speaker 1: all be able to take airplane flights safely, and so 696 00:37:31,840 --> 00:37:35,640 Speaker 1: that the soldiers can get paid, and so we make 697 00:37:35,680 --> 00:37:38,520 Speaker 1: sure that a lot of people out there who are 698 00:37:38,560 --> 00:37:42,440 Speaker 1: doing government jobs like air traffic controllers aren't getting paychecks 699 00:37:42,520 --> 00:37:45,960 Speaker 1: showing that they earned zero dollars despite the fact that 700 00:37:45,960 --> 00:37:47,600 Speaker 1: they've been working crazy hours
