1 00:00:01,800 --> 00:00:06,000 Speaker 1: Welcome. It is a fabulous day in America. It's verdict 2 00:00:06,000 --> 00:00:09,440 Speaker 1: with Senator Ted Cruz Ben Ferguson with you, and Senator 3 00:00:09,560 --> 00:00:13,640 Speaker 1: Donald Trump. Trump to them all the Democrats, the globalists, 4 00:00:14,160 --> 00:00:17,520 Speaker 1: the deep state, the fake news, the fake polls, even 5 00:00:17,560 --> 00:00:21,760 Speaker 1: the assassins, and now we have a very different day 6 00:00:21,760 --> 00:00:23,160 Speaker 1: in America. 7 00:00:23,560 --> 00:00:26,960 Speaker 2: It is an extraordinary day in America. You and I 8 00:00:27,000 --> 00:00:31,600 Speaker 2: are here at one eleven PM on Wednesday, right after 9 00:00:31,640 --> 00:00:37,280 Speaker 2: the election, and last night was simply a spectacular night. 10 00:00:37,360 --> 00:00:40,960 Speaker 2: It was an election that defied all the pundits, that 11 00:00:41,600 --> 00:00:46,919 Speaker 2: defied all the analysts, and that transforms America and transforms 12 00:00:47,040 --> 00:00:49,840 Speaker 2: the world. I'm reminded of nineteen eighty four. It's morning 13 00:00:49,840 --> 00:00:53,440 Speaker 2: in America again. It is that again. I believe God 14 00:00:53,520 --> 00:00:56,840 Speaker 2: has answered our prayers for our nation, and I am 15 00:00:56,920 --> 00:01:01,240 Speaker 2: so grateful Donald Trump has been re elected president in 16 00:01:01,320 --> 00:01:05,520 Speaker 2: what has to be the most remarkable comeback in political history. 17 00:01:06,640 --> 00:01:11,440 Speaker 2: I'm also very, very grateful that Republicans have taken a 18 00:01:11,480 --> 00:01:13,399 Speaker 2: majority of the Senate and we've got a real chance 19 00:01:13,400 --> 00:01:16,560 Speaker 2: at it being a sizable majority in the Senate. That 20 00:01:16,640 --> 00:01:20,240 Speaker 2: included me getting re elected, which didn't suck at all. 21 00:01:20,760 --> 00:01:25,600 Speaker 2: And we'll talk about that as well, and it looks 22 00:01:25,720 --> 00:01:28,160 Speaker 2: like we've got a real shot at Republicans holding the house. 23 00:01:28,600 --> 00:01:31,039 Speaker 2: That is the one that is not clear and determined 24 00:01:31,120 --> 00:01:34,600 Speaker 2: right now, but hopefully we will hold the house as well. 25 00:01:34,600 --> 00:01:37,680 Speaker 2: That'll make a big, big difference if we do. It 26 00:01:37,760 --> 00:01:40,600 Speaker 2: is an incredible day. 27 00:01:41,040 --> 00:01:43,039 Speaker 1: Yeah, it really is. And we get to finally talk 28 00:01:43,040 --> 00:01:46,120 Speaker 1: about your race. I'll explain that in a moment. Let 29 00:01:46,200 --> 00:01:48,040 Speaker 1: me tell you about chalk real quick.

A little over a year ago, I ended 34 00:02:00,480 --> 00:02:02,400 Speaker 1: up getting a lot of blood work done and I said, 35 00:02:02,400 --> 00:02:04,720 Speaker 1: all right, I gotta get in shape. Had I had 36 00:02:04,760 --> 00:02:07,640 Speaker 1: my cholesterol that was too high, I felt fatigued, I 37 00:02:07,680 --> 00:02:10,680 Speaker 1: felt tired all the time. And that is when I 38 00:02:10,800 --> 00:02:14,679 Speaker 1: got the Chalk male Vitality Stack. Now since I started, 39 00:02:15,200 --> 00:02:18,359 Speaker 1: I am down over seventy pounds. Not only am I 40 00:02:18,440 --> 00:02:21,840 Speaker 1: sleeping better, I have so much more energy. Because men's 41 00:02:21,840 --> 00:02:24,760 Speaker 1: testosterum levels are off a cliff historically at an all 42 00:02:24,880 --> 00:02:28,920 Speaker 1: time low, and that is where chalk comes in.

There's just one headline that I do 56 00:03:18,440 --> 00:03:20,840 Speaker 1: have to start with because this is just such a 57 00:03:20,840 --> 00:03:23,680 Speaker 1: fun one for me. And we can explain why we 58 00:03:23,760 --> 00:03:27,040 Speaker 1: haven't actually talked about your race on Verdict, because everywhere 59 00:03:27,040 --> 00:03:28,560 Speaker 1: I go people are like, why are you guys not 60 00:03:28,680 --> 00:03:31,760 Speaker 1: talking about this race against Alrid And I can explain 61 00:03:31,800 --> 00:03:33,760 Speaker 1: it in person. I couldn't talk about on the show. 62 00:03:33,840 --> 00:03:37,880 Speaker 1: You couldn't either, But let's just put in perspective here, 63 00:03:38,360 --> 00:03:43,920 Speaker 1: Republicans were closer to flipping New York than Democrats were 64 00:03:44,040 --> 00:03:48,200 Speaker 1: to flipping Texas. Even though the entire Democratic machine came 65 00:03:48,240 --> 00:03:52,040 Speaker 1: after you and tried to unseat you. That didn't work. 66 00:03:52,080 --> 00:03:54,240 Speaker 1: What it was a massive victory for you last night, 67 00:03:54,320 --> 00:03:57,880 Speaker 1: almost a ten point victory. Congratulations, a million vote difference 68 00:03:57,920 --> 00:04:00,680 Speaker 1: between you and your opponent. So let's just tell people 69 00:04:00,720 --> 00:04:03,280 Speaker 1: for a second here why this is something we haven't 70 00:04:03,280 --> 00:04:04,000 Speaker 1: talked about here. 71 00:04:04,680 --> 00:04:07,560 Speaker 2: Yeah. Look, we had an incredible victory at my race 72 00:04:07,640 --> 00:04:09,560 Speaker 2: last night. You and I were both at the victory 73 00:04:09,600 --> 00:04:13,640 Speaker 2: party past three in the morning. It was a remarkable outcome. 74 00:04:13,760 --> 00:04:17,080 Speaker 2: And regular listeners of the podcast, you guys have noticed 75 00:04:17,120 --> 00:04:20,560 Speaker 2: that a word I have never once said on this 76 00:04:20,640 --> 00:04:24,640 Speaker 2: podcast is all read. I've never mentioned Colin Allread. I've 77 00:04:24,640 --> 00:04:27,599 Speaker 2: never talked about my race even once. We have talked 78 00:04:27,640 --> 00:04:29,960 Speaker 2: about issues. We talk about issues a lot. We have 79 00:04:30,080 --> 00:04:33,839 Speaker 2: talked about the presidential race, we've talked about Senate races, 80 00:04:33,839 --> 00:04:36,080 Speaker 2: we've talked about other races, but we have never talked 81 00:04:36,120 --> 00:04:39,279 Speaker 2: about my race. And that was because if we had 82 00:04:39,320 --> 00:04:42,400 Speaker 2: talked about my race on this podcast, it would have 83 00:04:42,480 --> 00:04:44,960 Speaker 2: prompted complaints to the FEC. I don't think they would 84 00:04:44,960 --> 00:04:47,120 Speaker 2: have succeeded, but it would have prompted complaints, and we 85 00:04:47,200 --> 00:04:51,279 Speaker 2: decided that we didn't want to unnecessarily give a basis 86 00:04:51,320 --> 00:04:53,040 Speaker 2: for a complaint, and so we just didn't talk about 87 00:04:53,040 --> 00:04:55,160 Speaker 2: the race at all. I got to say, it was 88 00:04:55,520 --> 00:04:59,160 Speaker 2: mildly schizophrenic, however, because I'd go and do any other interview, 89 00:04:59,200 --> 00:05:01,320 Speaker 2: I'd go on Fox News, I'd go on talk radio, 90 00:05:01,400 --> 00:05:04,640 Speaker 2: I'd go do something else. I'd go on on a 91 00:05:04,680 --> 00:05:06,400 Speaker 2: different show, and I talk about a race all the 92 00:05:06,440 --> 00:05:07,880 Speaker 2: time because I was in the middle race. 93 00:05:08,400 --> 00:05:10,359 Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, you'd get to go on my show and 94 00:05:10,480 --> 00:05:12,080 Speaker 1: we could talk about it, but not on Verdict. 95 00:05:12,640 --> 00:05:15,800 Speaker 2: And I know our listeners found that odd, and it 96 00:05:15,839 --> 00:05:19,160 Speaker 2: was just it was avoiding in any potential legal peril. 97 00:05:19,200 --> 00:05:21,080 Speaker 2: We just didn't talk about it. But now that it's over, 98 00:05:21,160 --> 00:05:25,039 Speaker 2: the race is done. And wow, what a night we 99 00:05:25,200 --> 00:05:29,320 Speaker 2: had last night. As you noted, we won by nearly 100 00:05:29,640 --> 00:05:33,640 Speaker 2: ten points, we won by a million votes. I mean, 101 00:05:33,760 --> 00:05:37,520 Speaker 2: it was an extraordinary victory. It was a victory across 102 00:05:37,560 --> 00:05:42,320 Speaker 2: the board. And one of the one of the amazing, 103 00:05:42,480 --> 00:05:48,200 Speaker 2: amazing outcomes was what happened in South Texas and what 104 00:05:48,440 --> 00:05:52,919 Speaker 2: happened with Hispanics, and and NBC News is reporting that 105 00:05:53,040 --> 00:05:59,160 Speaker 2: I won Hispanics statewide by six points. That is a big, 106 00:05:59,640 --> 00:06:02,760 Speaker 2: big deal. You want to talk about a transformation, and 107 00:06:02,800 --> 00:06:07,039 Speaker 2: we saw South Texas counties and a region of the 108 00:06:07,080 --> 00:06:10,719 Speaker 2: state that has been bright blue for one hundred years 109 00:06:11,880 --> 00:06:17,480 Speaker 2: is rapidly, rapidly turning red. We had major victories throughout 110 00:06:17,560 --> 00:06:23,760 Speaker 2: South Texas. To win Hispanic statewide by six points is transformational. 111 00:06:24,040 --> 00:06:26,400 Speaker 2: And I believe what we did in South Texas with 112 00:06:26,480 --> 00:06:30,040 Speaker 2: this election, and what Donald Trump did in South Texas 113 00:06:30,040 --> 00:06:34,600 Speaker 2: with this election, I think is generationally transformative. And in fact, 114 00:06:34,720 --> 00:06:39,440 Speaker 2: my prediction is in the next year we will see many, 115 00:06:39,680 --> 00:06:44,760 Speaker 2: many elected South Texas Democrats switching parties, leaving their party 116 00:06:44,800 --> 00:06:47,799 Speaker 2: and joining the Republican Party. And I think once it starts, 117 00:06:47,800 --> 00:06:49,280 Speaker 2: it's not going to be one or two, It's going 118 00:06:49,320 --> 00:06:52,120 Speaker 2: to be an avalanche. I think they're all looking around 119 00:06:52,160 --> 00:06:55,320 Speaker 2: and you hear these conversations down in the valley, wait, 120 00:06:56,320 --> 00:07:01,240 Speaker 2: are we all Republicans now? And it is. It's a big, 121 00:07:01,320 --> 00:07:03,600 Speaker 2: big deal for Texas, and it's a big deal nationally. 122 00:07:04,960 --> 00:07:07,600 Speaker 1: It's nationally as well. And I want to go back 123 00:07:07,640 --> 00:07:10,920 Speaker 1: to something that happened and it goes back to what 124 00:07:11,000 --> 00:07:14,280 Speaker 1: we've talked about here. Why Donald Trump won last night, 125 00:07:14,520 --> 00:07:18,120 Speaker 1: why you won last night, came down to the basic issues, 126 00:07:18,160 --> 00:07:21,960 Speaker 1: which is, it's the economy stupid. It is safety. It 127 00:07:22,080 --> 00:07:25,040 Speaker 1: is about saying yep for our kids instead of having 128 00:07:25,080 --> 00:07:27,160 Speaker 1: to say no, whether that's when you go to the 129 00:07:27,200 --> 00:07:29,480 Speaker 1: grocery store or if they want to go outside in 130 00:07:29,480 --> 00:07:32,720 Speaker 1: front of your house and play. These are the basic issues. 131 00:07:32,720 --> 00:07:35,920 Speaker 1: And the elitists in the media and the Harris campaign 132 00:07:36,360 --> 00:07:41,600 Speaker 1: refused to stop dictating to Americans and actually listened to Americans, 133 00:07:41,880 --> 00:07:44,360 Speaker 1: and you went all over the state and we listened 134 00:07:44,440 --> 00:07:48,559 Speaker 1: to voters, and what their concerns were was, I don't 135 00:07:48,560 --> 00:07:51,480 Speaker 1: feel like I'm secure. I don't feel like that we're 136 00:07:51,480 --> 00:07:54,280 Speaker 1: heading the right direction. I don't feel like my kids 137 00:07:54,280 --> 00:07:57,280 Speaker 1: are safe. I don't feel like my grandparents or my 138 00:07:57,400 --> 00:07:59,640 Speaker 1: parents are safe. And I want to live in a 139 00:08:00,240 --> 00:08:03,240 Speaker 1: society where I can say yes to my kids at 140 00:08:03,280 --> 00:08:06,080 Speaker 1: the grocery store, yes to going to events, yes to 141 00:08:06,120 --> 00:08:08,920 Speaker 1: having that birthday party, instead of saying no, no, no, 142 00:08:09,160 --> 00:08:12,400 Speaker 1: all the way. And as Fox News described it, they 143 00:08:12,440 --> 00:08:16,400 Speaker 1: said the most important issue facing the country with exit 144 00:08:16,400 --> 00:08:20,560 Speaker 1: poll data was the economy. Thirty nine percent that was 145 00:08:20,600 --> 00:08:24,679 Speaker 1: economy twenty percent then said it was immigration, which also 146 00:08:24,720 --> 00:08:27,680 Speaker 1: deals with fentanyl and deals with the crime. Here's how 147 00:08:27,720 --> 00:08:28,880 Speaker 1: they described. 148 00:08:28,440 --> 00:08:31,800 Speaker 3: It toose voter analysis could tell the story of this 149 00:08:31,920 --> 00:08:34,400 Speaker 3: night and tell the story of the election. Just a reminder, 150 00:08:34,760 --> 00:08:38,240 Speaker 3: different than exit polls. We ask voters over one hundred 151 00:08:38,240 --> 00:08:41,200 Speaker 3: and twenty thousand of them all over the country, all 152 00:08:41,280 --> 00:08:45,120 Speaker 3: fifty states, leading up to and on election day, different 153 00:08:45,120 --> 00:08:47,600 Speaker 3: from exit polls, and right now I can start to 154 00:08:47,640 --> 00:08:51,959 Speaker 3: begin to give you our key findings and takeaways from what. 155 00:08:52,000 --> 00:08:52,880 Speaker 2: We ask voters. 156 00:08:52,880 --> 00:08:54,760 Speaker 3: This is really to give you an idea of not 157 00:08:54,800 --> 00:08:57,880 Speaker 3: only how they voted, but why early in the evening. 158 00:08:57,920 --> 00:09:00,840 Speaker 3: We can't reveal how they broke down to the candidates, 159 00:09:00,840 --> 00:09:03,560 Speaker 3: but we can reveal how they're feeling. We asked about 160 00:09:03,559 --> 00:09:06,680 Speaker 3: the direction of the country. This number is key those 161 00:09:06,720 --> 00:09:08,480 Speaker 3: who feel like the country right now is moving in 162 00:09:08,520 --> 00:09:13,360 Speaker 3: the wrong direction seven out of ten American voters. This 163 00:09:13,440 --> 00:09:16,240 Speaker 3: is ten points higher than it was in twenty twenty, 164 00:09:16,360 --> 00:09:19,000 Speaker 3: just four years ago. If you were to break this down, 165 00:09:19,160 --> 00:09:22,360 Speaker 3: also new technology, our heat map. You can see some 166 00:09:22,400 --> 00:09:25,240 Speaker 3: of those darker areas on the heat map, especially those 167 00:09:25,240 --> 00:09:28,120 Speaker 3: Sun Belt states. This is where they don't like how 168 00:09:28,200 --> 00:09:31,240 Speaker 3: the country is heading or where it's heading, and that 169 00:09:31,480 --> 00:09:33,720 Speaker 3: could be very revealing as we continue to watch the 170 00:09:33,760 --> 00:09:37,320 Speaker 3: election results throughout the night. Another top finding, we know 171 00:09:37,400 --> 00:09:40,280 Speaker 3: the economy has been key, and Americans just haven't been 172 00:09:40,320 --> 00:09:44,720 Speaker 3: feeling good about their finances. We asked about their famili's 173 00:09:44,760 --> 00:09:48,439 Speaker 3: financial situation, and look at this. While thirteen percent say 174 00:09:48,480 --> 00:09:52,760 Speaker 3: they're getting ahead, fifty six percent holding steady, thirty one 175 00:09:52,840 --> 00:09:56,319 Speaker 3: percent of respondents said they feel like they're falling behind. 176 00:09:56,400 --> 00:10:00,440 Speaker 3: That's more than three to ten voters also perspective, that's 177 00:10:00,800 --> 00:10:03,800 Speaker 3: thirteen points worse than it was just four years ago 178 00:10:03,880 --> 00:10:05,360 Speaker 3: when it was at eighteen percent. 179 00:10:06,200 --> 00:10:09,040 Speaker 1: You listen to that center and it's the economy, stupid, 180 00:10:09,200 --> 00:10:12,640 Speaker 1: That is what mattered. And the Democrats did not listen 181 00:10:12,679 --> 00:10:13,600 Speaker 1: to the American people. 182 00:10:14,400 --> 00:10:17,439 Speaker 2: Well, it was certainly the economy, but more broadly, it 183 00:10:17,520 --> 00:10:21,280 Speaker 2: was also it was the border, it was inflation, it 184 00:10:21,400 --> 00:10:25,760 Speaker 2: was safety and crime, and it was chaos. I mean, listen, 185 00:10:25,840 --> 00:10:31,280 Speaker 2: the Biden Harris record is a train wreck. Everything they've done. 186 00:10:31,280 --> 00:10:33,520 Speaker 2: There's a reason Kamalin never talked about anything they've done. 187 00:10:33,520 --> 00:10:36,440 Speaker 2: She ran as the change candidate because she sure as 188 00:10:36,480 --> 00:10:38,160 Speaker 2: that couldn't run on her record. And you know what 189 00:10:38,240 --> 00:10:41,880 Speaker 2: the American people said, to hell with that. We want change. 190 00:10:41,920 --> 00:10:44,400 Speaker 2: As you just played seven and ten Americans said, we 191 00:10:44,440 --> 00:10:46,960 Speaker 2: want to change the path we're on. Well we just did. 192 00:10:47,040 --> 00:10:51,160 Speaker 2: And you look at the results of Trump's win the 193 00:10:52,040 --> 00:10:55,800 Speaker 2: seven swing states. As we sit here today at now 194 00:10:55,840 --> 00:11:00,160 Speaker 2: one twenty two pm, Trump has won five of those 195 00:11:00,240 --> 00:11:04,640 Speaker 2: seven swing states. He won North Carolina, he flipped Georgia. 196 00:11:04,679 --> 00:11:06,880 Speaker 2: Georgia went for Biden, This time it went for Trump. 197 00:11:07,480 --> 00:11:10,440 Speaker 2: He flipped Pennsylvania. Pennsylvania went for Biden, this time it 198 00:11:10,480 --> 00:11:14,520 Speaker 2: went for Trump. He flipped Wisconsin. It had previously gone 199 00:11:14,559 --> 00:11:17,079 Speaker 2: for Biden. This time it went for Trump. And he 200 00:11:17,160 --> 00:11:21,439 Speaker 2: flipped Michigan. Previously it went for Biden, this time it 201 00:11:21,480 --> 00:11:25,480 Speaker 2: went for Trump. And right now Trump is leading in Arizona, Nevada, 202 00:11:25,520 --> 00:11:28,240 Speaker 2: the other two so they haven't called those states yet, 203 00:11:28,520 --> 00:11:31,040 Speaker 2: but there's a very real possibility that Trump will win 204 00:11:31,240 --> 00:11:35,960 Speaker 2: seven out of seven swing state winning everywhere. The current 205 00:11:36,040 --> 00:11:39,080 Speaker 2: count is he has two hundred and ninety one electoral votes, 206 00:11:39,080 --> 00:11:41,360 Speaker 2: he only needs two seventy to win. Kamala Harris has 207 00:11:41,400 --> 00:11:44,640 Speaker 2: two hundred and twenty three. And I'll tell you every 208 00:11:44,679 --> 00:11:50,200 Speaker 2: bit is astonishing and powerful and transformational. Is Trump won 209 00:11:50,240 --> 00:11:53,880 Speaker 2: the popular vote as of the current count by nearly 210 00:11:54,120 --> 00:11:57,680 Speaker 2: five million votes. The current the current count according to 211 00:11:57,720 --> 00:12:00,000 Speaker 2: CNN is seventy one million, eight hundred and eighty three, 212 00:12:00,480 --> 00:12:03,439 Speaker 2: seven hundred and ninety five votes for Trump and sixty 213 00:12:03,480 --> 00:12:07,200 Speaker 2: seven million, six eight hundred and sixty four votes for Kamala. 214 00:12:07,600 --> 00:12:10,640 Speaker 2: That is fifty point nine percent compared to forty seven 215 00:12:10,679 --> 00:12:16,160 Speaker 2: point four percent. That is historic, a big, big transformation, 216 00:12:16,840 --> 00:12:21,800 Speaker 2: and and and it is. It is changing America. The 217 00:12:21,840 --> 00:12:26,000 Speaker 2: stock market is exploding, going crazy. Bitcoin is soaring like 218 00:12:26,240 --> 00:12:29,360 Speaker 2: people are jubilant, and it is changing the world. 219 00:12:30,160 --> 00:12:31,920 Speaker 1: And the reason why they're jube one is because they 220 00:12:32,040 --> 00:12:37,040 Speaker 1: understand now what's coming back. No one is in Uncertainty 221 00:12:37,520 --> 00:12:41,040 Speaker 1: is what causes markets to have instability. 222 00:12:41,160 --> 00:12:45,400 Speaker 2: Everyone not just and also crazy ass socialists destroying your 223 00:12:45,400 --> 00:12:49,400 Speaker 2: company's taxing you out of existence, putting in crushing regulations 224 00:12:49,400 --> 00:12:51,840 Speaker 2: that destroy your ability to make a profit. All of 225 00:12:51,840 --> 00:12:52,400 Speaker 2: that hurts too. 226 00:12:53,080 --> 00:12:55,280 Speaker 1: Yeah, but you look at where we are. I don't 227 00:12:55,280 --> 00:12:58,080 Speaker 1: know if we've ever had this moment before where it 228 00:12:58,200 --> 00:13:01,680 Speaker 1: is so crystal clear the agenda of Donald Trump that 229 00:13:01,840 --> 00:13:04,439 Speaker 1: is going to be brought to Washington, d C. There 230 00:13:04,480 --> 00:13:06,520 Speaker 1: is a clear mandate to drain the swamp. There's a 231 00:13:06,520 --> 00:13:08,720 Speaker 1: clear mandate to change the way government works. There's a 232 00:13:08,720 --> 00:13:12,160 Speaker 1: clear mandate to work with Congress on securing the border. 233 00:13:12,160 --> 00:13:14,000 Speaker 1: There's a clear mandate in the Senate that looks like 234 00:13:14,040 --> 00:13:16,000 Speaker 1: there's gonna be a clear mandate in the House. And 235 00:13:16,520 --> 00:13:21,760 Speaker 1: there's a mandate that obviously investors are responding to. There's 236 00:13:21,800 --> 00:13:25,000 Speaker 1: also a clear mandate that's coming to the border and 237 00:13:25,120 --> 00:13:28,840 Speaker 1: other countries and the Middle East and oil and gas 238 00:13:28,920 --> 00:13:31,600 Speaker 1: and all of these things. And that's the reason why 239 00:13:31,640 --> 00:13:33,880 Speaker 1: I think you're seeing these massive games on Wall Street 240 00:13:33,920 --> 00:13:36,600 Speaker 1: is there's just a moment today where Americans took a 241 00:13:36,640 --> 00:13:39,800 Speaker 1: deep breath, they went out and they voted, They declared 242 00:13:39,800 --> 00:13:42,840 Speaker 1: what they wanted. Damn be the media and their lack 243 00:13:42,920 --> 00:13:45,360 Speaker 1: of influence and trying to lie to you, trying to 244 00:13:45,400 --> 00:13:47,800 Speaker 1: take out Trump. As we mentioned in the beginning, there 245 00:13:47,880 --> 00:13:50,960 Speaker 1: is a mandate now to go back to what this 246 00:13:51,000 --> 00:13:53,440 Speaker 1: country looked like in twenty sixteen when Donald Trump went 247 00:13:53,480 --> 00:13:55,720 Speaker 1: in the White House. Except this time it's even more 248 00:13:55,800 --> 00:13:56,720 Speaker 1: clear what he's going to. 249 00:13:56,760 --> 00:13:59,319 Speaker 2: Do well, and we're going to see a number of 250 00:13:59,320 --> 00:14:02,080 Speaker 2: big changes early on. The biggest thing that we will 251 00:14:02,080 --> 00:14:06,160 Speaker 2: see immediately is the border. And I have said this before, 252 00:14:06,200 --> 00:14:08,760 Speaker 2: but I'm going to say it again. We will secure 253 00:14:08,800 --> 00:14:11,280 Speaker 2: the border, and it's going to be fast. It's not 254 00:14:11,320 --> 00:14:12,880 Speaker 2: going to take a year, and I don't think it's 255 00:14:12,880 --> 00:14:14,520 Speaker 2: going to take six months. I think we will do 256 00:14:14,600 --> 00:14:18,000 Speaker 2: it in January and February. The reason I say that 257 00:14:18,520 --> 00:14:20,640 Speaker 2: is that Joe Biden and Kamala Harris did all this 258 00:14:20,760 --> 00:14:26,040 Speaker 2: damage through unilateral executive action, which means Trump can undo 259 00:14:26,120 --> 00:14:30,280 Speaker 2: it through unilateral executive action. And the most important determinant 260 00:14:30,760 --> 00:14:34,000 Speaker 2: is what happens when you arrest an illegal immigrant, and 261 00:14:34,000 --> 00:14:35,360 Speaker 2: if you put them on a plane and you fly 262 00:14:35,480 --> 00:14:38,560 Speaker 2: them home, the numbers plummet, and they plummet immediately. And 263 00:14:38,600 --> 00:14:40,960 Speaker 2: on January twentieth, that's going to happen. And in fact, 264 00:14:41,000 --> 00:14:42,440 Speaker 2: I think we're going to see the numbers. We may 265 00:14:42,440 --> 00:14:45,280 Speaker 2: see the numbers fall even before Trump is sworn in, 266 00:14:45,880 --> 00:14:49,720 Speaker 2: although there might there might also be a surge in 267 00:14:49,800 --> 00:14:52,000 Speaker 2: November and December. I am worried that we'll see a 268 00:14:52,000 --> 00:14:54,600 Speaker 2: surge of illegals trying to rush across the border right 269 00:14:54,640 --> 00:14:57,680 Speaker 2: before Trump gets here. But as soon as Trump is 270 00:14:57,680 --> 00:15:00,720 Speaker 2: in office, we are going to see the border be secured. 271 00:15:00,800 --> 00:15:04,280 Speaker 2: You were at our election night party last night, we 272 00:15:04,360 --> 00:15:08,320 Speaker 2: had a packed house, we had north of a thousand people, 273 00:15:08,360 --> 00:15:12,320 Speaker 2: their incredible energy. In the middle of my victory speech, 274 00:15:12,400 --> 00:15:15,400 Speaker 2: the crowd began channing build the wall, Build the wall, 275 00:15:15,680 --> 00:15:17,880 Speaker 2: to which I responded, we will. We are going to 276 00:15:17,920 --> 00:15:21,640 Speaker 2: do that. Now, whether Congress goes along is a different question, 277 00:15:21,680 --> 00:15:24,920 Speaker 2: because the Democrats are still going to have enough votes 278 00:15:24,920 --> 00:15:29,160 Speaker 2: in the Senate to filibuster legislation. And it will be 279 00:15:29,240 --> 00:15:34,640 Speaker 2: interesting to see if congressional Democrats have learned anything from 280 00:15:34,680 --> 00:15:38,880 Speaker 2: this ass kicking. Let's be clear, that's what this election was, 281 00:15:38,880 --> 00:15:42,920 Speaker 2: was an ass kicking across the board. And I'll be 282 00:15:43,080 --> 00:15:46,320 Speaker 2: very curious next week I'll be in in DC. I'll 283 00:15:46,360 --> 00:15:50,320 Speaker 2: see my colleagues. I'll be very curious if any Democrats 284 00:15:50,360 --> 00:15:56,160 Speaker 2: are looking around going maybe being wild eyed leftist communist America. 285 00:15:56,200 --> 00:15:59,400 Speaker 2: Hating lunatics is not a path to victory. And I 286 00:15:59,400 --> 00:16:01,200 Speaker 2: don't know if they'll that or not. They might double 287 00:16:01,240 --> 00:16:06,680 Speaker 2: down and you know, you know, start, you know, dig 288 00:16:06,720 --> 00:16:09,400 Speaker 2: in even harder. I don't know that they do hate 289 00:16:09,480 --> 00:16:13,240 Speaker 2: Trump's guts, so they're probably just losing their minds right now. 290 00:16:13,760 --> 00:16:16,000 Speaker 1: Well, they're losing their minds on social media. And by 291 00:16:16,000 --> 00:16:17,560 Speaker 1: the way, didn't the Democrats want to get rid of 292 00:16:17,560 --> 00:16:19,400 Speaker 1: the filibuster. Can we go back to that just for 293 00:16:19,440 --> 00:16:19,920 Speaker 1: a second. 294 00:16:20,360 --> 00:16:22,360 Speaker 2: Oh, they absolutely did. Now they all love it. And 295 00:16:24,160 --> 00:16:27,560 Speaker 2: now I will say, let's not take for granted that 296 00:16:27,600 --> 00:16:30,320 Speaker 2: we know the outcome in the House, and that right 297 00:16:30,360 --> 00:16:35,040 Speaker 2: now is the most consequential question that is outstanding. Ben 298 00:16:35,160 --> 00:16:39,840 Speaker 2: It is a big, big difference whether Republicans whether we 299 00:16:39,960 --> 00:16:42,040 Speaker 2: keep the majority in the House or we lose it. 300 00:16:42,080 --> 00:16:44,000 Speaker 2: And the House is still very much in the balance. 301 00:16:44,080 --> 00:16:47,120 Speaker 2: It could go either way. Mike Johnson, the Speaker, is 302 00:16:47,160 --> 00:16:49,960 Speaker 2: saying that he thinks that will hold on to the House, 303 00:16:50,000 --> 00:16:51,800 Speaker 2: that the votes are there, but there's still a bunch 304 00:16:51,800 --> 00:16:54,920 Speaker 2: of races that are outstanding. We don't know right now. 305 00:16:54,960 --> 00:16:57,000 Speaker 2: And let me tell you why it's such a big deal. 306 00:16:57,880 --> 00:17:00,440 Speaker 2: Let's say the Democrats take a majority of the House 307 00:17:00,480 --> 00:17:02,760 Speaker 2: by one vote. I don't want that to be the case, 308 00:17:02,840 --> 00:17:07,560 Speaker 2: but if that happens, it decreases by a factor of 309 00:17:07,600 --> 00:17:11,119 Speaker 2: one hundred what we can accomplish in the next two years. 310 00:17:11,960 --> 00:17:15,119 Speaker 2: And here is why. Because I mentioned securing the border. 311 00:17:15,359 --> 00:17:19,360 Speaker 2: Trump can do that Unilatterally, we'll also see big national 312 00:17:19,400 --> 00:17:21,800 Speaker 2: security victories. I think we will see in the next year. 313 00:17:21,960 --> 00:17:23,879 Speaker 2: Both of the wars come to an end. I think 314 00:17:23,920 --> 00:17:26,320 Speaker 2: the Ukraine War will come to an end. Russia will 315 00:17:26,320 --> 00:17:29,639 Speaker 2: suffer a loss, There'll be some negotiated outcome that is 316 00:17:29,680 --> 00:17:32,520 Speaker 2: a loss for Russia, but it will end. And I 317 00:17:32,520 --> 00:17:34,680 Speaker 2: believe the war in Israel will end as well, and 318 00:17:35,119 --> 00:17:37,880 Speaker 2: Israel will defeat Hamas as a result of that. All 319 00:17:37,920 --> 00:17:44,040 Speaker 2: of that Trump can do essentially unilaterally as commander in chief. However, 320 00:17:44,440 --> 00:17:47,160 Speaker 2: for legislation to pass, you got to get it through 321 00:17:47,200 --> 00:17:52,000 Speaker 2: the House and Senate. And the big kahuna is the 322 00:17:52,000 --> 00:17:54,960 Speaker 2: twenty seventeen tax cuts that are expiring. Most of them 323 00:17:54,960 --> 00:17:57,800 Speaker 2: are expiring next year. If we have both the House 324 00:17:57,840 --> 00:17:59,560 Speaker 2: and Senate, we will be able to take up what 325 00:17:59,640 --> 00:18:04,280 Speaker 2: is called budget reconciliation. Budget reconciliation, the most important thing 326 00:18:04,320 --> 00:18:07,639 Speaker 2: about that is it is an avenue around the filibuster. 327 00:18:07,760 --> 00:18:11,320 Speaker 2: So it is a way that we can pass budget 328 00:18:11,480 --> 00:18:16,280 Speaker 2: and tax and economic legislation without the Democrats being able 329 00:18:16,320 --> 00:18:19,680 Speaker 2: to stop it. And so if we have the House, 330 00:18:19,760 --> 00:18:23,040 Speaker 2: we'll do a budget reconciliation. We will extend the tax cuts. 331 00:18:23,119 --> 00:18:27,360 Speaker 2: I think we'll make them bigger and bolder. And beyond that, 332 00:18:27,520 --> 00:18:30,880 Speaker 2: I think we will see serious reg reforms. I think 333 00:18:30,920 --> 00:18:34,880 Speaker 2: we will see advances on energy. I think budget reconciliation 334 00:18:35,200 --> 00:18:39,159 Speaker 2: opens a lot of legislative victories if we can do it. 335 00:18:39,640 --> 00:18:43,440 Speaker 2: If the Democrats have the House, even by one vote, 336 00:18:43,480 --> 00:18:48,160 Speaker 2: they'll refuse to do reconciliation, and so it will mean, look, 337 00:18:48,160 --> 00:18:50,800 Speaker 2: we'll have to negotiate something on the tax cuts, but 338 00:18:51,359 --> 00:18:58,520 Speaker 2: they become the economic policy becomes massively less good. If 339 00:18:58,520 --> 00:19:01,800 Speaker 2: the Democrats have the House, I'm hopeful that we have it. 340 00:19:01,920 --> 00:19:03,840 Speaker 2: I hope we actually have a decent majority in the 341 00:19:03,840 --> 00:19:06,119 Speaker 2: householdthough I think that's probably unlikely. I think it is. 342 00:19:06,160 --> 00:19:08,440 Speaker 2: If we have a majority, I think it is likely 343 00:19:08,520 --> 00:19:11,240 Speaker 2: that it's going to be an excruciatingly small majority in 344 00:19:11,240 --> 00:19:14,280 Speaker 2: the House. Sold that'll be frustrating and have its own challenges, 345 00:19:14,320 --> 00:19:17,600 Speaker 2: but it is a binary flip of the switch. If 346 00:19:17,680 --> 00:19:23,200 Speaker 2: the Democrats have the House, our ability to legislate grinds 347 00:19:23,240 --> 00:19:23,760 Speaker 2: to a halt. 348 00:19:25,119 --> 00:19:28,359 Speaker 1: Yeah, no doubt about it. If you are a conservative 349 00:19:28,400 --> 00:19:30,959 Speaker 1: and you love winning, well, now it's time to really 350 00:19:31,000 --> 00:19:33,399 Speaker 1: make sure you're giving your money to comans that stand 351 00:19:33,600 --> 00:19:37,119 Speaker 1: with your values. And one bill you have every month 352 00:19:37,480 --> 00:19:40,080 Speaker 1: you may not realize just what it's costing you, and 353 00:19:40,080 --> 00:19:42,760 Speaker 1: that's your cell phone bill because Big Mobile gives big 354 00:19:42,800 --> 00:19:47,880 Speaker 1: donations and they will not stop to democratic causes candidates 355 00:19:48,280 --> 00:19:53,639 Speaker 1: and organizations, including organizations that pay for abortions. This is 356 00:19:53,680 --> 00:19:57,200 Speaker 1: why I want you to switch to Patriot Mobile. I've 357 00:19:57,240 --> 00:20:00,520 Speaker 1: been with Patriot Mobile as a user now for a 358 00:20:00,640 --> 00:20:05,600 Speaker 1: long time. I get unbelievable service, a coverage guarantee with them, 359 00:20:06,080 --> 00:20:08,560 Speaker 1: and I get rid of the woke agenda of the left. 360 00:20:08,880 --> 00:20:11,480 Speaker 1: Now here's the best part about being with Patriot Mobile. 361 00:20:11,840 --> 00:20:14,200 Speaker 1: They take about five percent of your bill every month 362 00:20:14,400 --> 00:20:17,959 Speaker 1: at no extra cost to you, and they give it 363 00:20:18,119 --> 00:20:23,879 Speaker 1: back to conservative causes, candidates and organizations that fight for 364 00:20:23,920 --> 00:20:27,040 Speaker 1: our First and our Second Amendment rights. They fight for 365 00:20:27,080 --> 00:20:30,200 Speaker 1: the sanctity of life. They fight and stand with our military, 366 00:20:30,280 --> 00:20:34,880 Speaker 1: our first responders, and our wounded warrior heroes. The other 367 00:20:34,960 --> 00:20:37,200 Speaker 1: thing about Patriot Mobile is they can save you money. 368 00:20:37,720 --> 00:20:40,920 Speaker 1: Switching has never been easier with technology in twenty twenty 369 00:20:40,920 --> 00:20:43,720 Speaker 1: four because they all every company use the same towers 370 00:20:44,000 --> 00:20:47,240 Speaker 1: and they've got access to all three major networks.

Senator, Let's also just talk about I think 381 00:21:25,040 --> 00:21:28,960 Speaker 1: the silent majority was sick and tired of being dictated 382 00:21:29,000 --> 00:21:32,719 Speaker 1: to and yelled at and called hitler and called garbage. 383 00:21:33,200 --> 00:21:35,719 Speaker 1: I think that played into this race. For the first 384 00:21:35,760 --> 00:21:39,679 Speaker 1: time a Republican has won the popular vote in two decades, 385 00:21:39,800 --> 00:21:43,600 Speaker 1: twenty plus years. If that doesn't feel like vindication, I 386 00:21:43,680 --> 00:21:46,840 Speaker 1: don't know what is. But this was a moment where 387 00:21:46,840 --> 00:21:49,520 Speaker 1: Americans stood up to the media. They stood up to 388 00:21:49,720 --> 00:21:53,679 Speaker 1: the Taylor Swifts and the Beyonces, the and the George 389 00:21:53,720 --> 00:21:56,359 Speaker 1: Cloones of the world and all these radicals in the 390 00:21:56,400 --> 00:21:59,200 Speaker 1: media and said, no, no, no, I'm not going to be quiet. 391 00:21:59,240 --> 00:22:00,840 Speaker 1: I'm not going to be told of them a racists 392 00:22:00,840 --> 00:22:03,800 Speaker 1: are a bigot because I stand up for my traditional values. 393 00:22:03,480 --> 00:22:05,800 Speaker 2: And you're not going to bully me anymore. This is 394 00:22:05,920 --> 00:22:10,240 Speaker 2: massive I think you're exactly right. It turns out it 395 00:22:10,320 --> 00:22:15,240 Speaker 2: is a bad electoral strategy to insult and condescend and 396 00:22:15,680 --> 00:22:19,200 Speaker 2: treat the voters like crap. And that's what the Democrats 397 00:22:19,240 --> 00:22:21,680 Speaker 2: look In the last two weeks, you had Kamala Harris 398 00:22:22,240 --> 00:22:26,160 Speaker 2: launch their strategy of calling Donald Trump hitler. You then 399 00:22:26,240 --> 00:22:30,040 Speaker 2: had Joe Biden calling half of America pieces of garbage, 400 00:22:30,600 --> 00:22:33,919 Speaker 2: and you then had Mark Cuban on behalf of Kamala Harris, 401 00:22:33,920 --> 00:22:37,440 Speaker 2: her top surrogate, go out and insult women and say 402 00:22:37,480 --> 00:22:40,320 Speaker 2: there are no smart and strong women voting for Donald Trump. 403 00:22:40,359 --> 00:22:44,880 Speaker 2: That combination. Look, I got to tell you, I've run 404 00:22:44,880 --> 00:22:47,760 Speaker 2: on a lot of elections. I've never found that insulting 405 00:22:47,800 --> 00:22:51,560 Speaker 2: the voters is a smart electoral strategy. And it was 406 00:22:51,600 --> 00:22:54,480 Speaker 2: a little bizarre to see the Democrats go all in 407 00:22:54,560 --> 00:22:54,840 Speaker 2: on that. 408 00:22:55,440 --> 00:22:57,879 Speaker 1: Yeah, it didn't work and it was a failure. There. 409 00:22:58,280 --> 00:23:02,159 Speaker 1: Let's talk about what happened in the Senate, because I 410 00:23:02,200 --> 00:23:04,199 Speaker 1: think this goes back to how important it was with 411 00:23:04,240 --> 00:23:06,600 Speaker 1: your race and the fact that you were able to 412 00:23:06,600 --> 00:23:09,040 Speaker 1: win by such a large margin over already there was 413 00:23:09,080 --> 00:23:11,240 Speaker 1: an incredible amount of money. We didn't get talk about 414 00:23:11,240 --> 00:23:13,760 Speaker 1: this on Verdicts as we mentioned earlier, but there was 415 00:23:13,760 --> 00:23:16,760 Speaker 1: an incredible amount of money and Chuck Schumer, you were 416 00:23:16,800 --> 00:23:20,080 Speaker 1: his number one target. They came after you. They basically 417 00:23:20,160 --> 00:23:22,240 Speaker 1: kind of pulled away from this race a little bit 418 00:23:22,280 --> 00:23:26,879 Speaker 1: financially after you just wiped him during the debate. Congratulations 419 00:23:26,920 --> 00:23:28,480 Speaker 1: on that something we didn't get to talk about on 420 00:23:28,520 --> 00:23:31,080 Speaker 1: the show. But if people are boring, they're junkies like 421 00:23:31,160 --> 00:23:32,680 Speaker 1: I am, and you want to watch one hell of 422 00:23:32,720 --> 00:23:34,960 Speaker 1: a debate, go watch Center Cruise and they all read debate. 423 00:23:34,960 --> 00:23:39,159 Speaker 1: It was unbelievable and that shifted the race financially. But 424 00:23:39,240 --> 00:23:42,280 Speaker 1: the amount of money that came in from outside to 425 00:23:42,480 --> 00:23:46,040 Speaker 1: try to turn Texas into a liberal state. But at 426 00:23:46,040 --> 00:23:49,440 Speaker 1: the end of the day, Republicans are closer to flipping 427 00:23:49,520 --> 00:23:53,639 Speaker 1: New York in Texas, and that is a data point 428 00:23:53,680 --> 00:23:55,240 Speaker 1: as well that I think you got to look at. 429 00:23:55,520 --> 00:23:58,840 Speaker 2: Yeah, no, no, that's exactly right. I will say the debate. 430 00:23:58,880 --> 00:24:02,879 Speaker 2: The debate was ridiculous fun. I loved that debate. I 431 00:24:02,920 --> 00:24:04,440 Speaker 2: had a lot of fun doing it, and I think 432 00:24:04,440 --> 00:24:10,200 Speaker 2: it went well. I will look this race. Chuck Schumer 433 00:24:10,320 --> 00:24:13,359 Speaker 2: was explicit that I was his number one target in 434 00:24:13,440 --> 00:24:18,120 Speaker 2: the country, and they flooded cash into the state of Texas. 435 00:24:18,840 --> 00:24:22,159 Speaker 2: This race was the single most expensive Senate race in 436 00:24:22,200 --> 00:24:25,959 Speaker 2: the entire country. It will end up being nearly a 437 00:24:26,119 --> 00:24:29,760 Speaker 2: quarter billion dollars. Nearly two hundred and fifty million dollars 438 00:24:29,800 --> 00:24:33,080 Speaker 2: will have been spent on both sides in this race. 439 00:24:33,960 --> 00:24:39,159 Speaker 2: That ain't cheap. Schumer poured well over one hundred million 440 00:24:39,760 --> 00:24:41,680 Speaker 2: into the race. And I got to say one of 441 00:24:41,760 --> 00:24:44,040 Speaker 2: my more fun things that I enjoyed doing last night 442 00:24:44,080 --> 00:24:48,000 Speaker 2: at the election night speech, as I took the opportunity 443 00:24:48,040 --> 00:24:51,679 Speaker 2: to thank Schumer, I said, thanks, Chuck, we may have 444 00:24:51,760 --> 00:24:55,160 Speaker 2: won a couple more Senate seats tonight because you wasted 445 00:24:55,160 --> 00:24:56,919 Speaker 2: so much money in the state of Texas. So I 446 00:24:56,960 --> 00:25:01,560 Speaker 2: appreciate that, and it I gotta say, I guarantee you 447 00:25:01,600 --> 00:25:04,760 Speaker 2: there's some Democrats who are second guessing that, who are 448 00:25:04,840 --> 00:25:07,080 Speaker 2: questioning did that make any sense just to pour the 449 00:25:07,119 --> 00:25:11,159 Speaker 2: money into Texas and lose the states they lost. 450 00:25:12,440 --> 00:25:15,040 Speaker 1: You talk about the Senate agenda moving forward. Obviously the 451 00:25:15,080 --> 00:25:17,480 Speaker 1: border is going to be something very quick. But there 452 00:25:17,520 --> 00:25:19,560 Speaker 1: are some new ideas that have come out of this 453 00:25:19,640 --> 00:25:22,600 Speaker 1: Trump campaign that connected with voters. A great example is 454 00:25:23,320 --> 00:25:26,760 Speaker 1: Elon Musk and Trump talking about, hey, retired people should 455 00:25:26,760 --> 00:25:29,399 Speaker 1: be completely tax exempt they've already paid their taxes. We 456 00:25:29,480 --> 00:25:33,080 Speaker 1: need to stop taxing social Security benefits, some of these 457 00:25:33,119 --> 00:25:37,040 Speaker 1: common sense things. What are the chances that some of 458 00:25:37,080 --> 00:25:39,960 Speaker 1: these ideas that connected with the American people. No taxes 459 00:25:39,960 --> 00:25:43,960 Speaker 1: on tips is another example, will turn into a reality 460 00:25:44,840 --> 00:25:46,639 Speaker 1: if we have the House and Senate or is that 461 00:25:46,760 --> 00:25:48,720 Speaker 1: still going to be a really tough thing to get done. 462 00:25:49,320 --> 00:25:51,200 Speaker 2: Look, if we have the House, I think we'll get 463 00:25:51,200 --> 00:25:54,840 Speaker 2: it done. No taxes on tips. I'm the author of 464 00:25:54,840 --> 00:25:57,840 Speaker 2: that legislation in the Senate. When I introduced it, it 465 00:25:57,920 --> 00:26:02,280 Speaker 2: was interesting. It's bipartisan legislation. Both of the Democrat senators 466 00:26:02,280 --> 00:26:05,720 Speaker 2: from Nevada joined almost immediately. They told me twenty five 467 00:26:05,800 --> 00:26:08,080 Speaker 2: percent of the workers in Nevada are tipped workers, and 468 00:26:08,400 --> 00:26:14,159 Speaker 2: so they jumped on immediately. If we have the House, 469 00:26:14,240 --> 00:26:16,160 Speaker 2: I think it will be part of the tax cuts, 470 00:26:16,200 --> 00:26:19,400 Speaker 2: no taxes on tips. I also think we'll get it done. 471 00:26:19,440 --> 00:26:22,120 Speaker 2: No taxes on Social Security. That is a little bit 472 00:26:22,160 --> 00:26:24,760 Speaker 2: harder to do because in terms of the budgetary cost 473 00:26:24,800 --> 00:26:28,159 Speaker 2: it's not cheap, and so the negotiations back and forth 474 00:26:28,200 --> 00:26:31,120 Speaker 2: that there'll be some bumps on that. But the President 475 00:26:31,160 --> 00:26:33,119 Speaker 2: is pushing for it. I'm strongly in favor of it. 476 00:26:33,160 --> 00:26:34,840 Speaker 2: I think we'll get it done as part of the 477 00:26:34,840 --> 00:26:39,600 Speaker 2: tax cuts. Both of those are big, big, important policy ideas. 478 00:26:40,040 --> 00:26:42,240 Speaker 2: And listen, in terms of the Senate, let's break down 479 00:26:42,240 --> 00:26:44,719 Speaker 2: where we stand on the Senate right now. So we 480 00:26:44,760 --> 00:26:47,840 Speaker 2: went into last night with the Democrats having a fifty 481 00:26:47,920 --> 00:26:52,320 Speaker 2: one forty nine majority. As of right now, Republicans have 482 00:26:52,400 --> 00:26:55,520 Speaker 2: fifty two. So we have three pickups that are clear. 483 00:26:56,359 --> 00:26:58,119 Speaker 2: One of them is West Virginia. We knew that was 484 00:26:58,119 --> 00:27:02,840 Speaker 2: one hundred percent, and so Jim Justice, the governor, is 485 00:27:02,880 --> 00:27:04,800 Speaker 2: going to now be the Senator. He's going to replace 486 00:27:04,880 --> 00:27:08,679 Speaker 2: Joe Manchin. The Democrats basically conceded West Virginia once Joe 487 00:27:08,760 --> 00:27:11,120 Speaker 2: Manchin wasn't running. There wasn't a Democrat alive who could 488 00:27:11,119 --> 00:27:14,439 Speaker 2: win West Virginia. They conceded that. The two others that 489 00:27:14,480 --> 00:27:19,120 Speaker 2: we have won are Montana and Ohio. Montana was John Tester. 490 00:27:19,240 --> 00:27:21,639 Speaker 2: Montana is a bright red state and Tim Shee he 491 00:27:21,880 --> 00:27:25,200 Speaker 2: just just beat Tester. That's a victory we thought was 492 00:27:25,280 --> 00:27:30,919 Speaker 2: quite likely and it happened. Montana is too red a 493 00:27:30,960 --> 00:27:34,639 Speaker 2: state to be represented by a Democrat. Ohio, likewise, Sharett 494 00:27:34,680 --> 00:27:38,919 Speaker 2: Brown was beaten by Bernie Moreno last night. That's a 495 00:27:39,000 --> 00:27:42,359 Speaker 2: great victory. That was a hard fought victory. I'll tell 496 00:27:42,440 --> 00:27:44,960 Speaker 2: you Shared Brown and John Tester two the very best 497 00:27:44,960 --> 00:27:49,720 Speaker 2: politicians in the country. You don't get elected counter to 498 00:27:49,800 --> 00:27:53,879 Speaker 2: the way your state generally votes unless you're really really talented. 499 00:27:53,880 --> 00:27:57,760 Speaker 2: And you know, John Tester with a flat top haircut, 500 00:27:57,840 --> 00:28:00,000 Speaker 2: Nate Figures, he seemed like a big old fat mine 501 00:28:00,080 --> 00:28:02,240 Speaker 2: tan of rancher that just was a regular guy, and 502 00:28:02,280 --> 00:28:04,919 Speaker 2: it got them elected even when Trump was carrying the 503 00:28:04,920 --> 00:28:07,800 Speaker 2: state and Republicans were carrying the state in past years. 504 00:28:08,160 --> 00:28:12,000 Speaker 2: SAME's true in Ohio where Shared Brown seemed like just 505 00:28:12,040 --> 00:28:14,640 Speaker 2: a regular guy at the Union Hall, and there were 506 00:28:14,720 --> 00:28:17,880 Speaker 2: voters in Ohio that were voting Donald Trump Shared Brown. Now, 507 00:28:18,400 --> 00:28:22,160 Speaker 2: both Brown and Tester vote like communists. They vote like 508 00:28:22,160 --> 00:28:26,800 Speaker 2: like like Chuck Schumer, but they're very good character actors, 509 00:28:26,800 --> 00:28:29,199 Speaker 2: and when they're back at home they pretended not to. 510 00:28:29,359 --> 00:28:33,439 Speaker 2: Those two victories ensure that we have the majority in 511 00:28:33,480 --> 00:28:36,320 Speaker 2: the Senate. And then on top of that, right now 512 00:28:36,400 --> 00:28:40,320 Speaker 2: we have four other possibilities. We had one hard loss. 513 00:28:40,360 --> 00:28:42,719 Speaker 2: We did not win Wisconsin. We were leading a good 514 00:28:42,800 --> 00:28:46,880 Speaker 2: chunk of the night. Eric Hovedy was narrowly leading Tammy 515 00:28:46,880 --> 00:28:50,840 Speaker 2: Baldwin's Wisconsin's now been called for the Democrats, So assuming 516 00:28:50,840 --> 00:28:53,440 Speaker 2: those numbers are right, it looks like we did not 517 00:28:53,480 --> 00:28:57,200 Speaker 2: win Wisconsin in the Senate, although Trump won Wisconsin and 518 00:28:57,280 --> 00:29:05,600 Speaker 2: the presidential Right now, we have a shot at winning Pennsylvania, Michigan, Nevada, 519 00:29:05,680 --> 00:29:09,400 Speaker 2: and Arizona. All of those are uncalled right now, and 520 00:29:09,800 --> 00:29:13,680 Speaker 2: here are the numbers. Pennsylvania right now, Dave McCormick, the 521 00:29:13,680 --> 00:29:18,440 Speaker 2: Republican is leading forty eight point nine percent to forty 522 00:29:18,480 --> 00:29:24,920 Speaker 2: eight point five percent, so it's really really close. Michigan, 523 00:29:26,040 --> 00:29:29,120 Speaker 2: Michigan right now, the Democrat is leading forty eight point 524 00:29:29,160 --> 00:29:32,720 Speaker 2: six percent to forty eight point three percent, so we 525 00:29:32,800 --> 00:29:36,880 Speaker 2: are down by point three percent both Pennsylvania and Michigan. 526 00:29:36,960 --> 00:29:41,840 Speaker 2: Ninety seven percent of the vote is in Nevada, Nevada 527 00:29:41,960 --> 00:29:45,560 Speaker 2: right now, the Republican Sam Brown is leading forty seven 528 00:29:45,600 --> 00:29:49,720 Speaker 2: point five percent to forty seven percent. That would be 529 00:29:49,720 --> 00:29:54,320 Speaker 2: a flip if we won Nevada. Eighty eight percent of 530 00:29:54,320 --> 00:29:58,880 Speaker 2: the vote is in there, and then Arizona. Arizona. Right now, 531 00:29:58,920 --> 00:30:01,920 Speaker 2: this is probably the it's the furthest distance we have 532 00:30:02,040 --> 00:30:05,840 Speaker 2: to have to climb. The Democrat is leading fifty point 533 00:30:05,960 --> 00:30:09,840 Speaker 2: four percent to forty seven point seven percent, So it's 534 00:30:10,720 --> 00:30:14,880 Speaker 2: three points that we need to pick up almost three points. Now, 535 00:30:15,200 --> 00:30:18,000 Speaker 2: only sixty three percent of the vote is in in Arizona, 536 00:30:18,040 --> 00:30:22,720 Speaker 2: and it's America Copa County. It's the suburbs of Phoenix 537 00:30:22,760 --> 00:30:26,760 Speaker 2: that are still counting. So look, it is certainly possible 538 00:30:26,760 --> 00:30:30,120 Speaker 2: that we win Arizona. Trump is one Arizona, but three 539 00:30:30,120 --> 00:30:32,680 Speaker 2: points is a bigger margin to close than the other states. 540 00:30:32,680 --> 00:30:34,479 Speaker 2: And so all four of those we're going to wait 541 00:30:34,520 --> 00:30:34,880 Speaker 2: and see. 542 00:30:35,840 --> 00:30:39,440 Speaker 1: Let's talk finally about the takeaways from the media, and 543 00:30:39,480 --> 00:30:42,720 Speaker 1: I'll go back to what I said earlier. Donald Trump 544 00:30:42,800 --> 00:30:46,520 Speaker 1: trumped them all. He trumped the Democrats, he trumped the globalists, 545 00:30:46,520 --> 00:30:50,080 Speaker 1: he trumped the deep state, he trumped the news media. 546 00:30:50,720 --> 00:30:55,440 Speaker 1: They're still having meltdowns. This morning, the View, the girls 547 00:30:55,440 --> 00:30:56,960 Speaker 1: on the View, the ladies in the View came out 548 00:30:56,960 --> 00:31:01,160 Speaker 1: wearing black like it was a funeral, no health crisis. 549 00:31:01,280 --> 00:31:05,520 Speaker 1: MSNBC's O'Donnell trash as the Founding Fathers called the electoral 550 00:31:05,560 --> 00:31:10,400 Speaker 1: College voter suppression. This morning, Joy Reid at MSNBC said, 551 00:31:10,440 --> 00:31:16,200 Speaker 1: Ford extreme right wing fascist state now officially Van Jones, 552 00:31:16,240 --> 00:31:18,280 Speaker 1: came out and started playing the race card in the 553 00:31:18,360 --> 00:31:22,560 Speaker 1: gender card. John Stewart had a total meltdown on his show, 554 00:31:23,600 --> 00:31:27,280 Speaker 1: and this is just what we're seeing in the moments 555 00:31:27,480 --> 00:31:32,920 Speaker 1: after a Trump victory. It's like they didn't learn their lesson. 556 00:31:33,480 --> 00:31:35,520 Speaker 1: I mean, you would think they would take away and go, Okay, 557 00:31:35,560 --> 00:31:38,080 Speaker 1: what did we do wrong? They're not stopping. 558 00:31:39,560 --> 00:31:43,080 Speaker 2: You know, look, we'll see what happens. I think there 559 00:31:43,200 --> 00:31:45,960 Speaker 2: right now, there's a lot of blaming of Kamala for 560 00:31:46,040 --> 00:31:48,600 Speaker 2: being a terrible candidate. There's a lot of blaming of 561 00:31:48,720 --> 00:31:54,840 Speaker 2: Joe Biden for having been essentially unconscious for several years. 562 00:31:57,560 --> 00:32:03,840 Speaker 2: I don't see the Democrats right now taking responsibility for, gosh, 563 00:32:03,920 --> 00:32:08,000 Speaker 2: we advocated an agenda that was horrible for America. You know, 564 00:32:08,040 --> 00:32:12,560 Speaker 2: there used to be Senate moderates among the Democrats. I 565 00:32:13,160 --> 00:32:16,920 Speaker 2: don't know of any Senate moderates left. The only two 566 00:32:17,160 --> 00:32:20,240 Speaker 2: arguable ones where Joe Manchin and Kirsten Cinema. They're both gone, 567 00:32:20,880 --> 00:32:26,280 Speaker 2: and so that that dynamic, you know, you look at. 568 00:32:26,760 --> 00:32:31,360 Speaker 2: I would love to see some Democrats recalibrate and say 569 00:32:31,440 --> 00:32:35,000 Speaker 2: let's move to the middle. But I think right now 570 00:32:35,040 --> 00:32:39,040 Speaker 2: they're just emoting. They're just engaged in a combination of 571 00:32:39,320 --> 00:32:45,800 Speaker 2: rage and shock and disbelief. Look, you know you and 572 00:32:45,840 --> 00:32:48,840 Speaker 2: I talked about Mark Halprin, he used to be the 573 00:32:48,880 --> 00:32:51,040 Speaker 2: head of political news at ABC did an interview with 574 00:32:51,080 --> 00:32:54,760 Speaker 2: Tucker Carlson where Halprin said that he thought there would 575 00:32:54,840 --> 00:32:59,960 Speaker 2: be real mental health crises and violence from the left 576 00:33:00,040 --> 00:33:03,720 Speaker 2: if Trump won. That he was laying out the case 577 00:33:03,800 --> 00:33:08,000 Speaker 2: that those of us not afflicted with Trump derangement syndrome 578 00:33:08,040 --> 00:33:12,240 Speaker 2: do not understand just how much of a meltdown this 579 00:33:12,280 --> 00:33:15,640 Speaker 2: will be. Look, I hope we don't go there, but 580 00:33:16,000 --> 00:33:20,120 Speaker 2: I do think I don't see many Democrats willing to 581 00:33:21,440 --> 00:33:22,760 Speaker 2: repent and change their ways. 582 00:33:24,320 --> 00:33:26,640 Speaker 1: No that I couldn't agree with you more. I want 583 00:33:26,680 --> 00:33:29,400 Speaker 1: to want to ask you another question, also about Elon 584 00:33:29,520 --> 00:33:31,719 Speaker 1: musk in just a second. But first let me tell 585 00:33:31,760 --> 00:33:35,000 Speaker 1: you about my friend's over at Berna. If you want 586 00:33:35,000 --> 00:33:37,920 Speaker 1: to be able to protect yourself and your family, but 587 00:33:38,000 --> 00:33:40,360 Speaker 1: maybe you're at work at a place where you can't 588 00:33:40,400 --> 00:33:43,080 Speaker 1: carry a firearm, or maybe you have a child that's eighteen, 589 00:33:43,240 --> 00:33:46,280 Speaker 1: or a mother or a grandmother doesn't feel comfortable carrying 590 00:33:46,320 --> 00:33:49,800 Speaker 1: a gun, well you've got to check out BURNA. Now 591 00:33:49,840 --> 00:33:51,840 Speaker 1: I have this, and I'm a gun owner. I had 592 00:33:51,880 --> 00:33:53,920 Speaker 1: to pull the trigger and use a firearm to protect 593 00:33:53,920 --> 00:33:57,760 Speaker 1: my life. But I love knowing that a Berna is 594 00:33:57,800 --> 00:34:01,440 Speaker 1: an option now. It is a less lethal pistol launcher. 595 00:34:01,520 --> 00:34:04,960 Speaker 1: Berna can save two lives and it is a great 596 00:34:05,080 --> 00:34:07,760 Speaker 1: compliment owning a firearm. If you or your family is 597 00:34:07,800 --> 00:34:10,719 Speaker 1: in a situation where you feel threatened, then you can 598 00:34:10,800 --> 00:34:14,960 Speaker 1: start with less lethal. It is legal in all fifty states. 599 00:34:15,080 --> 00:34:18,200 Speaker 1: There are no permits or background checks needed. And I 600 00:34:18,360 --> 00:34:20,640 Speaker 1: own this and I got them from my wife, my 601 00:34:20,760 --> 00:34:22,840 Speaker 1: sister in law, my mother in law, my mom, and 602 00:34:23,040 --> 00:34:26,560 Speaker 1: my sister. The Burner is the answer because it's designed 603 00:34:26,600 --> 00:34:29,920 Speaker 1: to be easily used by all age groups eighteen and older. 604 00:34:30,719 --> 00:34:34,600 Speaker 1: The Burner launcher has powerful deterrence like tear gas and 605 00:34:34,840 --> 00:34:40,000 Speaker 1: kinetic rounds. With a sixty foot range, one shot can 606 00:34:40,040 --> 00:34:43,279 Speaker 1: incapacitate attackers for up to forty minutes. It is used 607 00:34:43,320 --> 00:34:46,680 Speaker 1: by government agencies and law enforcement around the country and 608 00:34:46,760 --> 00:34:48,840 Speaker 1: more than a half million units have been sold with 609 00:34:48,880 --> 00:34:53,000 Speaker 1: more than fourteen thousand, four and a half star reviews. So, 610 00:34:53,239 --> 00:34:56,480 Speaker 1: if you want to know that you can always protect yourself, 611 00:34:56,520 --> 00:34:59,840 Speaker 1: and you want to have options, especially for young people 612 00:35:00,040 --> 00:35:03,080 Speaker 1: eighteen older. Maybe you've got a daughter that's living by herself, 613 00:35:03,480 --> 00:35:10,320 Speaker 1: visit Berna.

All right, let me ask you this question. 618 00:35:27,000 --> 00:35:31,000 Speaker 1: You've actually met and chatted with Elon Musk. There is 619 00:35:31,120 --> 00:35:33,960 Speaker 1: something different that's happening right now, and that's the people 620 00:35:34,040 --> 00:35:37,600 Speaker 1: around Trump. Uh, there's a very good chance that Elon 621 00:35:37,719 --> 00:35:40,400 Speaker 1: Musk could be involved in the in the Trump administration 622 00:35:40,520 --> 00:35:42,600 Speaker 1: on a real level. We see him bring in people 623 00:35:42,680 --> 00:35:46,000 Speaker 1: like RFK Junior. We see him bringing in different minds 624 00:35:46,040 --> 00:35:50,560 Speaker 1: that traditional, you know, politicians have not done. How significant 625 00:35:50,600 --> 00:35:52,920 Speaker 1: could it be to have a guy like Elon Musk 626 00:35:53,320 --> 00:35:56,480 Speaker 1: coming in and looking at, like, you know, accountability and 627 00:35:56,520 --> 00:35:59,800 Speaker 1: efficiency with the United States government, which is clearly a 628 00:36:00,080 --> 00:36:02,919 Speaker 1: bloated and this is something he's really good at. 629 00:36:03,719 --> 00:36:06,680 Speaker 2: Yeah. Look, Elon is extraordinary. I know him well, he's 630 00:36:06,719 --> 00:36:08,640 Speaker 2: become a friend. I've spent a lot of time with Elon. 631 00:36:09,840 --> 00:36:13,240 Speaker 2: I'll tell you that they're smart people you encounter in life. 632 00:36:14,040 --> 00:36:17,600 Speaker 2: Elon is next level. I mean, there's just the guy 633 00:36:17,680 --> 00:36:21,000 Speaker 2: is freaking brilliant, and he knows how to run a company. 634 00:36:21,080 --> 00:36:25,120 Speaker 2: Like you look at the incredible success he has, whether 635 00:36:25,200 --> 00:36:29,560 Speaker 2: it's Tesla, whether it's it's SpaceX, whether it's the Boring Company, 636 00:36:29,600 --> 00:36:35,239 Speaker 2: whether it is X, like he has an ability to run. 637 00:36:35,840 --> 00:36:38,640 Speaker 2: And by the way, the many of those companies are 638 00:36:38,680 --> 00:36:43,520 Speaker 2: like really precise manufacturers. You look at SpaceX where they're 639 00:36:43,560 --> 00:36:47,560 Speaker 2: manufacturing rocket ships with precision, with with within a like 640 00:36:47,600 --> 00:36:50,600 Speaker 2: a like a tenth of an inch or less. I 641 00:36:50,600 --> 00:36:52,239 Speaker 2: mean it is. And I've been down to the like 642 00:36:52,239 --> 00:36:55,640 Speaker 2: they're factory in Bokachika, down down by Brownsville in the 643 00:36:55,640 --> 00:36:57,719 Speaker 2: southern tip of Texas. I mean, it is remarkable. They're 644 00:36:57,719 --> 00:36:59,719 Speaker 2: turning out a rocket ship a month and they just 645 00:37:00,239 --> 00:37:03,040 Speaker 2: built it out of nothing. I mean, is it's incredible. 646 00:37:04,760 --> 00:37:09,200 Speaker 2: And Elon is all in. We saw him pour himself 647 00:37:09,239 --> 00:37:11,160 Speaker 2: into this election at the end, I think it made 648 00:37:11,160 --> 00:37:13,399 Speaker 2: a difference. I think he made a difference in Pennsylvania 649 00:37:13,440 --> 00:37:16,200 Speaker 2: where he really devoted a lot of time and energy 650 00:37:16,239 --> 00:37:19,759 Speaker 2: and money and personal credibility. And I think it will 651 00:37:19,800 --> 00:37:23,000 Speaker 2: be significant his impact on the federal government. Now, there 652 00:37:23,040 --> 00:37:28,880 Speaker 2: are structural impediments to having efficiency in government, and so 653 00:37:29,640 --> 00:37:31,920 Speaker 2: I don't think people should think we're suddenly going to 654 00:37:31,960 --> 00:37:36,440 Speaker 2: be in Nirvana and everything will be solved because in 655 00:37:36,480 --> 00:37:40,200 Speaker 2: a company, Elon can walk in and fire anyone he wants. 656 00:37:40,239 --> 00:37:42,080 Speaker 2: And by the way, when he bought Twitter, he fired 657 00:37:42,520 --> 00:37:44,480 Speaker 2: a whole bunch of the folks there and all the 658 00:37:44,480 --> 00:37:47,080 Speaker 2: woke radicals, he basically said, bye bye, you're out of here. 659 00:37:47,880 --> 00:37:50,359 Speaker 2: The federal government, that is much much harder to do. 660 00:37:50,440 --> 00:37:54,200 Speaker 2: You've got civil service protections that enables career bureaucrats to 661 00:37:54,560 --> 00:37:59,160 Speaker 2: burrow in. I think we will see the Trump administration 662 00:37:59,360 --> 00:38:02,120 Speaker 2: take on the career bureaucracy in a way that has 663 00:38:02,239 --> 00:38:05,640 Speaker 2: never ever happened before. That's a big deal. I expect 664 00:38:05,640 --> 00:38:08,759 Speaker 2: Elon to play an important role in that. But I 665 00:38:08,800 --> 00:38:14,920 Speaker 2: don't want to understate the legal barriers, the bureaucratic barriers, 666 00:38:14,960 --> 00:38:18,720 Speaker 2: that it is not like just coming into a company 667 00:38:18,719 --> 00:38:20,920 Speaker 2: where you have the ability to give anyone a pink slip. 668 00:38:21,880 --> 00:38:25,040 Speaker 2: The bureaucracy will fight back. And by the way, in 669 00:38:25,120 --> 00:38:28,720 Speaker 2: the first Trump term, we saw the deep state wage 670 00:38:28,760 --> 00:38:31,200 Speaker 2: war on Donald Trump. I very much hope the team 671 00:38:31,200 --> 00:38:38,880 Speaker 2: coming in understands much much better just how dangerous the 672 00:38:38,920 --> 00:38:41,760 Speaker 2: foe is they're facing. Of the radical leftists who burrowed 673 00:38:41,760 --> 00:38:44,960 Speaker 2: into the federal government and that they're better prepared and 674 00:38:45,000 --> 00:38:45,759 Speaker 2: ready to take them on. 675 00:38:47,040 --> 00:38:49,280 Speaker 1: Yeah, no doubt about it. And by the way, saving 676 00:38:49,360 --> 00:38:52,839 Speaker 1: free speech by buying X just so people know how 677 00:38:52,880 --> 00:38:58,160 Speaker 1: biased I would say the media is. And I'm talking 678 00:38:58,160 --> 00:39:01,319 Speaker 1: about the media. You have control over Facebook. We were 679 00:39:01,400 --> 00:39:06,359 Speaker 1: comparing last night many conservative influencers and Center. You're gonna 680 00:39:06,400 --> 00:39:11,000 Speaker 1: find this interesting. From October ninth through November the fifth, 681 00:39:12,320 --> 00:39:17,360 Speaker 1: the reach that I had on Facebook was down eighty 682 00:39:17,640 --> 00:39:22,920 Speaker 1: three point six percent as a conservative on Facebook in 683 00:39:23,000 --> 00:39:26,960 Speaker 1: the month leading up to election. By and there were 684 00:39:27,400 --> 00:39:30,359 Speaker 1: quite a few other conservatives. I was talking earlier with 685 00:39:30,400 --> 00:39:33,919 Speaker 1: Megan McCain about this, and we opened up our analytics, 686 00:39:33,920 --> 00:39:37,759 Speaker 1: our insights on our public pages, and again I'm looking 687 00:39:37,800 --> 00:39:42,040 Speaker 1: at it right now. Eighty three point six percent. That's 688 00:39:42,080 --> 00:39:45,040 Speaker 1: how much they turned off the faucet to free speech 689 00:39:45,280 --> 00:39:50,279 Speaker 1: of conservative influencers on Facebook, on Meta, on Instagram in 690 00:39:50,360 --> 00:39:54,920 Speaker 1: the last thirty days before the election. So the liberals 691 00:39:54,920 --> 00:39:59,080 Speaker 1: had free flow of intel and information and their side 692 00:39:59,480 --> 00:40:03,600 Speaker 1: and con conservatives were throttled almost eighty five percent. I 693 00:40:03,840 --> 00:40:05,960 Speaker 1: just think that's interesting to see what Elon must have 694 00:40:06,040 --> 00:40:09,960 Speaker 1: to save freedom of speech on X he didn't do 695 00:40:10,040 --> 00:40:13,200 Speaker 1: that there. He let everybody talk. God bless America when 696 00:40:13,239 --> 00:40:15,640 Speaker 1: it comes to that. Your final thoughts to all the 697 00:40:15,680 --> 00:40:18,320 Speaker 1: listeners of Verdict, all those that came out and voted 698 00:40:18,360 --> 00:40:19,920 Speaker 1: for you.

The money, the media, everything that came in 706 00:40:41,800 --> 00:40:45,560 Speaker 2: against us. They if you live in Texas. By the way, 707 00:40:45,680 --> 00:40:48,400 Speaker 2: thank god the ads are over. I mean, you couldn't 708 00:40:48,400 --> 00:40:50,640 Speaker 2: turn on your TV without every second or third ad 709 00:40:50,719 --> 00:40:54,399 Speaker 2: being an attack ad just hammering the living daylights out 710 00:40:54,440 --> 00:40:56,520 Speaker 2: of me and the people of Texas.

You came out on the road with me. 712 00:40:58,840 --> 00:41:03,640 Speaker 2: We did a fifty three stop bus tour all across 713 00:41:03,680 --> 00:41:06,400 Speaker 2: the state of Texas, over nine thousand miles we covered, 714 00:41:06,400 --> 00:41:10,640 Speaker 2: We did rallies everywhere, and it was incredible. The people 715 00:41:10,680 --> 00:41:16,360 Speaker 2: and you're just ordinary people, students, senior citizens, single moms, Hispanics, 716 00:41:16,360 --> 00:41:21,560 Speaker 2: African Americans, just Texans standing up and saying we want 717 00:41:21,560 --> 00:41:25,719 Speaker 2: to keep Texas Texas.

We want to support law enforcement. We 720 00:41:32,200 --> 00:41:34,840 Speaker 2: want criminals in jail. We want to defend our freedom. 721 00:41:34,880 --> 00:41:38,000 Speaker 2: We want free speech, religious liberty, the Second Amendment.
