1
00:00:00,280 --> 00:00:03,680
Speaker 1: We're just days away from the biggest midterm election that

2
00:00:03,680 --> 00:00:05,720
Speaker 1: we've had in a long time when it comes to

3
00:00:05,840 --> 00:00:10,000
Speaker 1: fighting for America. Plus, the Senator called out some people

4
00:00:10,080 --> 00:00:13,320
Speaker 1: on the View, including Hillary Clinton and Chelsea's fighting back.

5
00:00:13,720 --> 00:00:15,480
Speaker 1: And finally, what do you need to do to get

6
00:00:15,480 --> 00:00:18,120
Speaker 1: ready for election day? And how are the races looking?

7
00:00:18,520 --> 00:00:22,239
Speaker 1: This is verdict with Ted Cruz, Senator. We're just days

8
00:00:22,239 --> 00:00:25,599
Speaker 1: away from a midterm election. You've been barnstorming the country

9
00:00:25,760 --> 00:00:28,720
Speaker 1: helping so many candidates, and we're going to talk about

10
00:00:28,800 --> 00:00:31,520
Speaker 1: how to really look at this Senate race and the

11
00:00:31,520 --> 00:00:33,360
Speaker 1: House and if we're going to flip in a moment.

12
00:00:33,800 --> 00:00:36,479
Speaker 1: But there was something special that happened. There is a

13
00:00:36,560 --> 00:00:39,519
Speaker 1: video that has been put out that is a montage

14
00:00:39,720 --> 00:00:43,760
Speaker 1: of the View lying about your appearance and Chelsea Clinton

15
00:00:43,840 --> 00:00:46,880
Speaker 1: coming after you. This had to make you laugh and

16
00:00:47,240 --> 00:00:49,440
Speaker 1: smile a little bit. See Chelsea Clinton try to rewrite

17
00:00:49,479 --> 00:00:51,920
Speaker 1: history and you got to bust her out. Well. Look,

18
00:00:51,920 --> 00:00:54,720
Speaker 1: as we talked about earlier on the pod, going on

19
00:00:54,760 --> 00:00:57,240
Speaker 1: the View was amazing. Fund They're not used to anyone

20
00:00:57,360 --> 00:01:00,360
Speaker 1: challenging them. They're not used to anyone presenting anything other

21
00:01:00,440 --> 00:01:03,560
Speaker 1: than the hard left partisan prop again, and they kind

22
00:01:03,560 --> 00:01:07,200
Speaker 1: of lost their mind and they couldn't let it go.

23
00:01:07,319 --> 00:01:09,520
Speaker 1: So even though we got into it a week ago,

24
00:01:10,200 --> 00:01:12,520
Speaker 1: the last few days they had Chelsea Clinton on and

25
00:01:12,680 --> 00:01:15,440
Speaker 1: they asked her about what I had said, and in

26
00:01:15,480 --> 00:01:19,360
Speaker 1: particular that Hillary Clinton had gone on their show and

27
00:01:19,400 --> 00:01:24,639
Speaker 1: it said that President Trump's election was illegitimate, and they well,

28
00:01:25,160 --> 00:01:27,800
Speaker 1: watch what Chelsea said, Hey, look at this, it's hysterical.

29
00:01:28,720 --> 00:01:31,000
Speaker 1: Senator Ted Cruz, who was here on the show when

30
00:01:31,040 --> 00:01:35,039
Speaker 1: we pressed him on the Maga Republican's election denial, he

31
00:01:35,120 --> 00:01:37,560
Speaker 1: did whip out some sort of prop and he argued

32
00:01:37,600 --> 00:01:41,880
Speaker 1: that your mother did the same thing. I do think

33
00:01:41,959 --> 00:01:47,039
Speaker 1: that he knows that he's an illegitimate president. What's your

34
00:01:47,120 --> 00:01:49,480
Speaker 1: last funny? So I'm pretty sure that I remembered that.

35
00:01:49,520 --> 00:01:51,960
Speaker 1: Next day, I was standing behind her when she conceded, yes,

36
00:01:52,200 --> 00:01:55,400
Speaker 1: he's an illegitimate president, and that she said while she

37
00:01:55,440 --> 00:01:59,560
Speaker 1: had campaigned very hard against President Trump, she hoped that

38
00:02:00,280 --> 00:02:03,880
Speaker 1: he would be a president for all Americans, illegitimate president.

39
00:02:03,960 --> 00:02:05,800
Speaker 1: You know, I think that Senator Cruz just might have

40
00:02:05,840 --> 00:02:09,799
Speaker 1: a slightly different memory of that. I do think that

41
00:02:09,880 --> 00:02:15,000
Speaker 1: he knows that he's an illegitimate president. They sat here,

42
00:02:15,080 --> 00:02:17,560
Speaker 1: yes and said it was Jill legitimate, and you guys,

43
00:02:17,560 --> 00:02:21,120
Speaker 1: we're fine with it. I do think that he knows

44
00:02:22,160 --> 00:02:27,120
Speaker 1: that he's an illegitimate president, and because of that, the

45
00:02:27,240 --> 00:02:31,120
Speaker 1: chairman of the January sixth committee objected to a prior

46
00:02:31,200 --> 00:02:36,600
Speaker 1: presidential election. Representative Raskin, the lead prosecutor for the impeachment,

47
00:02:36,639 --> 00:02:42,559
Speaker 1: objected to a prior presidential about hypocrisy. Anytime a Republican

48
00:02:42,760 --> 00:02:44,800
Speaker 1: is in front of a TV camera, try to say

49
00:02:45,040 --> 00:02:47,720
Speaker 1: the election was fair and square and legitimate. You know who,

50
00:02:47,760 --> 00:02:49,920
Speaker 1: y'all don't do that too. You don't do it to

51
00:02:49,960 --> 00:02:54,600
Speaker 1: Hillary Clinton, who stood up and said Trump, it's a fact.

52
00:02:54,680 --> 00:02:57,600
Speaker 1: There's the video. I hope everyone will share this video,

53
00:02:57,760 --> 00:03:00,360
Speaker 1: put it out on social media, share the pie cast,

54
00:03:00,440 --> 00:03:03,919
Speaker 1: wherever you get your podcasts. Please share this moment because

55
00:03:03,960 --> 00:03:06,400
Speaker 1: it's just a great example of where we are, not

56
00:03:06,440 --> 00:03:09,080
Speaker 1: only with the media, but also with a Democratic party.

57
00:03:09,120 --> 00:03:10,880
Speaker 1: They know they can go on these shows say whatever

58
00:03:10,919 --> 00:03:13,960
Speaker 1: they want to say, and they will always give them cover,

59
00:03:14,160 --> 00:03:17,280
Speaker 1: even if the lie was told on the same show. Well,

60
00:03:17,320 --> 00:03:23,200
Speaker 1: and look at it is interesting. Chelsea was lying on

61
00:03:23,240 --> 00:03:26,840
Speaker 1: behalf of her mother and the media host were trying

62
00:03:26,840 --> 00:03:30,520
Speaker 1: to help her. So what I said was Hillary Clinton

63
00:03:30,560 --> 00:03:34,559
Speaker 1: came on the View and said Donald Trump's selection was illegitimate,

64
00:03:35,040 --> 00:03:37,640
Speaker 1: and in fact the hosts agreed with it. Now, mind you,

65
00:03:37,680 --> 00:03:40,680
Speaker 1: when I said it last week, Whoopie Goldberg immediately chimes

66
00:03:40,680 --> 00:03:44,200
Speaker 1: in it was so they still think Trump's selection was illegitimate.

67
00:03:44,200 --> 00:03:46,560
Speaker 1: They don't back away from it at all. They're happy

68
00:03:46,600 --> 00:03:52,120
Speaker 1: to embrace their double standard. And what Chelsea answers a

69
00:03:52,200 --> 00:03:54,680
Speaker 1: non sequitor where she says, well, I was behind my

70
00:03:54,760 --> 00:03:57,480
Speaker 1: mom when she gave a speech. Okay, I didn't say

71
00:03:57,520 --> 00:03:59,440
Speaker 1: she gave a speech, or didn't I said she went

72
00:03:59,480 --> 00:04:01,840
Speaker 1: on the View and said the election was a legitimate

73
00:04:01,880 --> 00:04:05,960
Speaker 1: that he was an illegitimate president. And it is a

74
00:04:06,040 --> 00:04:09,480
Speaker 1: deliberate strategy of partisan Democrats to say things that are

75
00:04:09,520 --> 00:04:14,000
Speaker 1: just flat out false. Why because the fawning propagandists of

76
00:04:14,040 --> 00:04:18,960
Speaker 1: the media will amplify it. There is an objective answer.

77
00:04:19,080 --> 00:04:24,000
Speaker 1: Did Hillary Clinton say on the View to rapturous applause

78
00:04:24,279 --> 00:04:29,080
Speaker 1: and happiness from the left wing host that Donald Trump

79
00:04:29,120 --> 00:04:31,920
Speaker 1: was an illegitimate president? There is an answer. The answer

80
00:04:32,040 --> 00:04:34,880
Speaker 1: is yes, and no amount of spinning can change that.

81
00:04:35,160 --> 00:04:37,680
Speaker 1: Even this week concern me because we now know that

82
00:04:37,720 --> 00:04:42,359
Speaker 1: apparently the FBI is already looking into misinformation and disinformation

83
00:04:42,440 --> 00:04:45,799
Speaker 1: to affect the midterm elections. It's almost like they're getting

84
00:04:45,800 --> 00:04:47,960
Speaker 1: their game plan ready, which is if we lose the

85
00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:51,840
Speaker 1: House and we lose the Senate center that immediately it's

86
00:04:51,880 --> 00:04:54,760
Speaker 1: the fault of some sort of propagandists Russia or whatever

87
00:04:54,800 --> 00:04:58,040
Speaker 1: country they want to bring up now to say this

88
00:04:58,160 --> 00:05:00,520
Speaker 1: wasn't a legitimate election, and we're going to undermine the

89
00:05:00,600 --> 00:05:04,080
Speaker 1: victory of Republicans and undermine the votes of every American

90
00:05:04,120 --> 00:05:06,839
Speaker 1: that clearly seem to be leaning towards we want to change.

91
00:05:07,640 --> 00:05:12,839
Speaker 1: I think that's exactly right. They cannot accept election. Democrats

92
00:05:12,839 --> 00:05:17,680
Speaker 1: have challenged every Republican presidential election since the year two thousand.

93
00:05:17,800 --> 00:05:19,919
Speaker 1: That has been their pattern over and over again, and

94
00:05:20,040 --> 00:05:23,720
Speaker 1: Hillary setting the stage. When Democrats lose in twenty twenty two,

95
00:05:23,720 --> 00:05:26,880
Speaker 1: they're gonna say it's illegitimate. When Democrats losing twenty twenty four,

96
00:05:26,920 --> 00:05:29,480
Speaker 1: they're gonna say it's illegitimate, and all throughout they're going

97
00:05:29,520 --> 00:05:31,720
Speaker 1: to say it's the Republicans who are the election deniers.

98
00:05:31,760 --> 00:05:34,080
Speaker 1: We just think anytime we lose, it's illegitimate. I want

99
00:05:34,080 --> 00:05:35,680
Speaker 1: to do a deep dive, and I'm calling an audible

100
00:05:35,720 --> 00:05:37,920
Speaker 1: here because I think you just mentioned saying it's so important.

101
00:05:38,480 --> 00:05:41,800
Speaker 1: Is it the job of the DOJ, of the FBI

102
00:05:42,560 --> 00:05:45,560
Speaker 1: to spend as much time as they're spending as they

103
00:05:45,600 --> 00:05:50,480
Speaker 1: claim they're spending saying or claiming or looking into election,

104
00:05:50,760 --> 00:05:53,000
Speaker 1: you know, interference the way that they say that it's

105
00:05:53,040 --> 00:05:55,200
Speaker 1: out there. I mean, this has become an obsession. I

106
00:05:55,240 --> 00:05:57,920
Speaker 1: can't even imagine how much money they're spending on this.

107
00:05:58,400 --> 00:06:01,520
Speaker 1: We all know that foreign government try to interfere in elections.

108
00:06:01,720 --> 00:06:03,960
Speaker 1: I think it's pretty clear right now. The conversation we're

109
00:06:03,960 --> 00:06:06,520
Speaker 1: having in America is there's no third world country or

110
00:06:06,680 --> 00:06:10,400
Speaker 1: a major country that's influencing people's opinions right now. How

111
00:06:10,440 --> 00:06:13,159
Speaker 1: concerned are you that our actual government is spending this

112
00:06:13,320 --> 00:06:17,520
Speaker 1: much time involved in our elections. Well, I'm concerned enough

113
00:06:17,560 --> 00:06:19,400
Speaker 1: that I wrote a book that came out this last

114
00:06:19,440 --> 00:06:22,400
Speaker 1: week called Justice Corrupted. How the Left has weaponized the

115
00:06:22,480 --> 00:06:26,320
Speaker 1: legal system. And under Barack Obama now under Joe Biden,

116
00:06:27,000 --> 00:06:29,880
Speaker 1: the DOJ and the FBI and the IRS and the

117
00:06:29,920 --> 00:06:34,280
Speaker 1: CIA and the alphabet Soup of Washington has turned into

118
00:06:34,880 --> 00:06:37,719
Speaker 1: a partisan weapon for the Democrats. Look in the two

119
00:06:37,720 --> 00:06:42,160
Speaker 1: thousand election, we saw senior officials for the FBI go

120
00:06:42,200 --> 00:06:47,680
Speaker 1: to Facebook and ask them to pull down the Hunter

121
00:06:47,680 --> 00:06:51,320
Speaker 1: Biden laptop story. The Hunter Biden laptop story, which not

122
00:06:51,360 --> 00:06:54,640
Speaker 1: only wasn't misinformation, we now know what's true, so it

123
00:06:54,720 --> 00:06:58,000
Speaker 1: was literally they were political emissaries. Now it is a

124
00:06:58,040 --> 00:07:03,480
Speaker 1: special category of information online that Big Tech historically has

125
00:07:03,560 --> 00:07:07,640
Speaker 1: deeply disfavored. It's what I call true but bad for Democrats,

126
00:07:08,200 --> 00:07:11,160
Speaker 1: and true but bad for Democrats is their favorite category

127
00:07:11,200 --> 00:07:16,440
Speaker 1: of quote misinformation to suppress. And in that instance, you

128
00:07:16,640 --> 00:07:21,120
Speaker 1: literally had the FBI, mind you, the FBI while Trump

129
00:07:21,240 --> 00:07:23,600
Speaker 1: was president. So it's the deep state. It's the career,

130
00:07:25,720 --> 00:07:30,920
Speaker 1: senior career positions that have been infested with hard, vicious

131
00:07:31,240 --> 00:07:34,760
Speaker 1: partisans who viewed their job. We must take down the

132
00:07:34,760 --> 00:07:37,520
Speaker 1: elected president of the United States because we disagree with them,

133
00:07:37,560 --> 00:07:39,840
Speaker 1: and it's our job to topple the president. And Big

134
00:07:39,840 --> 00:07:43,320
Speaker 1: Tech was more than happy to salute and say, not

135
00:07:43,400 --> 00:07:45,600
Speaker 1: only will we take the content down, we will punish

136
00:07:45,640 --> 00:07:49,920
Speaker 1: any media outlet that reports on it. I mean, that's

137
00:07:49,960 --> 00:07:54,520
Speaker 1: the amazing thing is is the traditional media outlets have

138
00:07:54,840 --> 00:07:59,760
Speaker 1: completely handed their spines to Big Tech. Big Tech now

139
00:08:00,000 --> 00:08:02,840
Speaker 1: controls on the Hunter Boden laptop. Big Tech said, we

140
00:08:03,200 --> 00:08:05,280
Speaker 1: will ban you if you report on it and all

141
00:08:05,320 --> 00:08:08,080
Speaker 1: of the supposed you know, the Woodward and Bernsteins of

142
00:08:08,080 --> 00:08:12,760
Speaker 1: the world. Yeah, they are now just minor little employees

143
00:08:12,800 --> 00:08:18,200
Speaker 1: for Silicon Valley billionaires. And if you actually care about journalism,

144
00:08:18,240 --> 00:08:20,840
Speaker 1: that ought to trouble you deeply. But the left doesn't

145
00:08:20,840 --> 00:08:23,040
Speaker 1: care about journalism. No, they don't. And I think it's

146
00:08:23,120 --> 00:08:25,840
Speaker 1: very clear heading into the midterms how much water they're

147
00:08:25,840 --> 00:08:28,680
Speaker 1: willing to carry for Democrats, hoping that they can somehow

148
00:08:29,000 --> 00:08:32,000
Speaker 1: pull out some victories in some seats that they're desperate

149
00:08:32,040 --> 00:08:33,920
Speaker 1: to hold on too, so they don't lose total control

150
00:08:33,960 --> 00:08:35,920
Speaker 1: of the House as well as the sent at the

151
00:08:35,960 --> 00:08:38,320
Speaker 1: same time, and I want to get into how you

152
00:08:38,360 --> 00:08:41,200
Speaker 1: watch election night and what are the most important races

153
00:08:41,280 --> 00:08:42,959
Speaker 1: right now is we're about a week out. But before

154
00:08:42,960 --> 00:08:45,600
Speaker 1: we do that, I want to tell you about our sponsor,

155
00:08:45,679 --> 00:08:49,439

178
00:10:02,840 --> 00:10:06,559
Speaker 1: and there is a real concern now that we might

179
00:10:06,640 --> 00:10:08,720
Speaker 1: not be able to grab the Senate. I think there's

180
00:10:08,880 --> 00:10:10,880
Speaker 1: some confidence that we are going to be able to

181
00:10:10,880 --> 00:10:14,600
Speaker 1: grab the house. Let's start with your prediction on the

182
00:10:14,640 --> 00:10:17,000
Speaker 1: Senate and what are the races that people really need

183
00:10:17,040 --> 00:10:19,880
Speaker 1: to be focusing on. Yeah, so I am very confident

184
00:10:19,960 --> 00:10:21,400
Speaker 1: about this election. I think it's going to be a

185
00:10:21,400 --> 00:10:23,960
Speaker 1: really good election. In the House. I think we're going

186
00:10:24,000 --> 00:10:27,360
Speaker 1: to get a majority, and I think even potentially a

187
00:10:27,400 --> 00:10:29,520
Speaker 1: big majority of a majority that could be thirty forty

188
00:10:29,520 --> 00:10:31,319
Speaker 1: fifty seats. We'll talk about the House in a minute.

189
00:10:31,800 --> 00:10:34,679
Speaker 1: Let's talk about the Senate. I think we'll take the Senate,

190
00:10:34,720 --> 00:10:37,040
Speaker 1: and I think we'll get either fifty three or fifty

191
00:10:37,040 --> 00:10:39,360
Speaker 1: four seats in the Senate. Now that's gone up since

192
00:10:39,480 --> 00:10:42,360
Speaker 1: just a couple weeks ago. I was fifty three. I've

193
00:10:42,679 --> 00:10:45,120
Speaker 1: moved it. I'd say up fifty three or fifty four.

194
00:10:45,120 --> 00:10:47,000
Speaker 1: I'm probably fifty three and a half is where i'd

195
00:10:47,000 --> 00:10:49,280
Speaker 1: put it right now. And let me walk you through

196
00:10:49,320 --> 00:10:52,720
Speaker 1: because this is these races are specific, and most of

197
00:10:52,720 --> 00:10:55,400
Speaker 1: these candidates. I've been on the ground in the middle

198
00:10:55,400 --> 00:10:57,520
Speaker 1: of our seventeen state national bus tour, so I've been

199
00:10:57,520 --> 00:11:01,680
Speaker 1: campaigning in almost all these states. Let's break it into

200
00:11:01,720 --> 00:11:06,240
Speaker 1: three categories. Let's start with pickup opportunities, then let's start

201
00:11:06,240 --> 00:11:08,839
Speaker 1: with defense, and finally, I want to throw out a

202
00:11:08,880 --> 00:11:13,840
Speaker 1: couple of wild cards. Pickup, we have really six credible

203
00:11:13,880 --> 00:11:18,280
Speaker 1: pickup opportunities. Nevada is the number one pickup opportunity in

204
00:11:18,280 --> 00:11:21,120
Speaker 1: the country. I think we're gonna win Nevada. Adam lak

205
00:11:21,160 --> 00:11:23,600
Speaker 1: Salt is the nominee. Adam was the Attorney general. Adam

206
00:11:23,679 --> 00:11:26,280
Speaker 1: is a good friend. Adam is a conservative. He's running

207
00:11:26,320 --> 00:11:30,520
Speaker 1: against Catherine Cortes Masto. Nevada is historically a purple state.

208
00:11:31,760 --> 00:11:35,920
Speaker 1: Polling in that race is pretty consistently shown lack Salt

209
00:11:36,080 --> 00:11:39,240
Speaker 1: up three to four points. Not overwhelming, but it's been

210
00:11:39,280 --> 00:11:42,880
Speaker 1: pretty consistent. Cortes Mastow is vulnerable. She votes with Joe

211
00:11:42,960 --> 00:11:45,480
Speaker 1: Biden almost one hundred percent of the time. She does

212
00:11:45,520 --> 00:11:48,000
Speaker 1: not have much of a presence in the state. I

213
00:11:48,040 --> 00:11:51,480
Speaker 1: think Nevada is and lack Salt is also a really

214
00:11:51,520 --> 00:11:55,240
Speaker 1: good candidate. And I do think candidate discipline matters. Having

215
00:11:55,280 --> 00:11:57,360
Speaker 1: someone who knows how to run a campaign, knows how

216
00:11:57,400 --> 00:12:00,600
Speaker 1: to not say stupid things and blow themselves up, that matters.

217
00:12:00,640 --> 00:12:03,000
Speaker 1: I think Adam is bang on message, an amazing job

218
00:12:03,080 --> 00:12:05,520
Speaker 1: of staying on message in that race. Adam has also

219
00:12:05,640 --> 00:12:10,360
Speaker 1: done a really good job of unifying the hardcore Trump

220
00:12:10,440 --> 00:12:13,560
Speaker 1: supporters in the state and the Republicans who are not

221
00:12:13,640 --> 00:12:16,040
Speaker 1: as keen about Donald Trump, and that's just a difficult

222
00:12:16,120 --> 00:12:19,760
Speaker 1: dynamic for any candidate running because you've got different slices

223
00:12:19,880 --> 00:12:23,080
Speaker 1: of Republicans and to get to fifty you usually need

224
00:12:23,120 --> 00:12:25,280
Speaker 1: to get them all together. Adam's done a good job

225
00:12:25,320 --> 00:12:30,000
Speaker 1: of bridging that without without causing any internal battles. So

226
00:12:30,040 --> 00:12:32,040
Speaker 1: I think Nevada is the number one pickup opportunity in

227
00:12:32,040 --> 00:12:33,880
Speaker 1: the country. I think the number two pickup opportunity in

228
00:12:33,920 --> 00:12:39,120
Speaker 1: the country is Georgia. Georgia. Herschel Walker is running against

229
00:12:39,160 --> 00:12:43,080
Speaker 1: Raphael Warnock. Look, Walker has the reverend. Don't forget the

230
00:12:43,120 --> 00:12:45,400
Speaker 1: reverend guy that makes more money being a reverend at church.

231
00:12:45,440 --> 00:12:47,240
Speaker 1: He doesn't really go too very often than he does

232
00:12:47,280 --> 00:12:50,840
Speaker 1: in the US Senate. You know it is. I was

233
00:12:50,920 --> 00:12:53,719
Speaker 1: just with Herschel a couple of days ago. We did

234
00:12:53,720 --> 00:12:56,320
Speaker 1: a couple of big rallies on the ground in Georgia.

235
00:12:56,360 --> 00:12:59,720
Speaker 1: I was really encouraged the rallies. We had huge crowds,

236
00:13:00,320 --> 00:13:03,560
Speaker 1: incredible enthusiasm. I was talking to Herschel. He and I

237
00:13:03,600 --> 00:13:06,960
Speaker 1: grabbed some barbecue for lunch and we were talking about

238
00:13:06,960 --> 00:13:12,640
Speaker 1: how the crowds are markedly different from what the Georgia

239
00:13:12,679 --> 00:13:15,560
Speaker 1: crowds were in the runoff two years ago. So I

240
00:13:15,600 --> 00:13:19,480
Speaker 1: was there campaigning for Purdue and Leffler, and I have

241
00:13:19,520 --> 00:13:21,960
Speaker 1: to admit the results didn't surprise me because you could

242
00:13:22,080 --> 00:13:24,920
Speaker 1: see when you were there, you can feel it. They

243
00:13:24,920 --> 00:13:31,400
Speaker 1: were demoralized, they were pissed, they were depressed. You'd show

244
00:13:31,480 --> 00:13:34,880
Speaker 1: up with a Senate candidate in Georgia and the activists

245
00:13:34,880 --> 00:13:39,280
Speaker 1: are yelling at them like they were angry. And listen,

246
00:13:39,360 --> 00:13:41,360
Speaker 1: it is a reality. If your voters stay home, you

247
00:13:41,440 --> 00:13:46,920
Speaker 1: lose elections. And that Georgia runoff Republicans stayed home. It's

248
00:13:47,040 --> 00:13:50,720
Speaker 1: night and day. The energy and enthusiasm. And listen Herschel,

249
00:13:51,880 --> 00:13:54,439
Speaker 1: Herschel's or rock star. I gotta say also, I campaigned

250
00:13:54,440 --> 00:13:57,360
Speaker 1: with Herschel a couple of months ago. The difference between

251
00:13:57,360 --> 00:14:00,920
Speaker 1: a couple of months ago and now Hersch was on fire.

252
00:14:01,360 --> 00:14:05,480
Speaker 1: I was really impressed. He's gotten He's never you know.

253
00:14:05,559 --> 00:14:07,560
Speaker 1: Part of it is I think Warnock pissed him off

254
00:14:08,120 --> 00:14:11,640
Speaker 1: because it's gotten so nasty, it's gotten so personal. They've

255
00:14:11,640 --> 00:14:15,959
Speaker 1: gone after him, they've gone after his family. I think

256
00:14:16,040 --> 00:14:18,960
Speaker 1: Kerschel has responded, he's gotten angry, he's standing up. I

257
00:14:19,000 --> 00:14:24,000
Speaker 1: think he went after and debated Warnock effectively. Warnock came in.

258
00:14:24,360 --> 00:14:30,640
Speaker 1: Warnock maybe the candidate with the greatest divergence between his

259
00:14:30,720 --> 00:14:32,920
Speaker 1: voting record and the voters of that state. I think

260
00:14:32,960 --> 00:14:36,720
Speaker 1: George is a fundamentally read state and Warnock is a

261
00:14:36,800 --> 00:14:40,160
Speaker 1: hardcore leftist. He's one of the most liberal Democrats in

262
00:14:40,200 --> 00:14:43,359
Speaker 1: the Senate. At the end of the day, that divergence

263
00:14:43,520 --> 00:14:48,720
Speaker 1: is significant, and I think Walker wins. The question is

264
00:14:48,720 --> 00:14:51,880
Speaker 1: going to be does Walker break fifty percent, because we

265
00:14:51,960 --> 00:14:54,440
Speaker 1: could see an outcome there's a third party candidate. We

266
00:14:54,520 --> 00:14:58,200
Speaker 1: could see an outcome where Walker wins and say has

267
00:14:58,240 --> 00:15:04,120
Speaker 1: forty nine percent and Warnock has forty seven percent, which

268
00:15:04,120 --> 00:15:07,520
Speaker 1: sends us to another runoff. And so one possible outcome

269
00:15:07,560 --> 00:15:09,960
Speaker 1: that nobody wants to see is another Georgia runoff that

270
00:15:10,000 --> 00:15:13,160
Speaker 1: could conceivably decide control of the Senate. I hope that

271
00:15:13,200 --> 00:15:17,440
Speaker 1: doesn't happen. It is not certain whether Herschel will break

272
00:15:17,480 --> 00:15:19,800
Speaker 1: fifty this time around. I'd really like him to break

273
00:15:19,840 --> 00:15:22,120
Speaker 1: fifty and just be done with it. Sure, that's the

274
00:15:22,160 --> 00:15:26,080
Speaker 1: second best pick of opportunity. The next tier is two

275
00:15:26,080 --> 00:15:31,080
Speaker 1: other races, and that's Arizona and New Hampshire. Arizona's Blake Masters.

276
00:15:31,080 --> 00:15:36,400
Speaker 1: He's running against Mark Kelly, Mark Kelly is a very

277
00:15:36,440 --> 00:15:40,760
Speaker 1: effective candidate. He's a Navy Veteran's an astronaut. You know,

278
00:15:40,880 --> 00:15:46,240
Speaker 1: he looks like Captain America, and his campaign adds he

279
00:15:46,360 --> 00:15:48,680
Speaker 1: might as well be Donald Trump. He's running as a

280
00:15:48,680 --> 00:15:53,240
Speaker 1: conservative's Mark Kelly secures the border. Now, mind you, every

281
00:15:53,240 --> 00:15:56,360
Speaker 1: single time, one hundred percent without exception, when it comes

282
00:15:56,360 --> 00:15:59,240
Speaker 1: to a vote, Mark Kelly votes rope and borders like

283
00:15:59,360 --> 00:16:02,120
Speaker 1: it is the most But if it was bizarre thing

284
00:16:02,120 --> 00:16:03,960
Speaker 1: you've seen, and I got to give credit to his

285
00:16:04,040 --> 00:16:07,080
Speaker 1: campaign as political campaign. They figured out what the people

286
00:16:07,120 --> 00:16:10,160
Speaker 1: wanted to hear, and they have a candidate that's effective

287
00:16:10,160 --> 00:16:12,160
Speaker 1: at telling you that that's who he is, even though

288
00:16:12,160 --> 00:16:15,520
Speaker 1: that's not what his voting record actually is at all. Yep. Well,

289
00:16:15,520 --> 00:16:18,200
Speaker 1: that was something that Herschel and I were talking about

290
00:16:18,200 --> 00:16:22,080
Speaker 1: when I was campaigning with him, which is that Democrats

291
00:16:22,120 --> 00:16:25,800
Speaker 1: win when they lie effectively. Republicans win when we tell

292
00:16:25,840 --> 00:16:32,120
Speaker 1: the truth effectively. Because the policy views of Democrats are

293
00:16:32,120 --> 00:16:35,040
Speaker 1: wildly out of step with the voters. So the Democrats

294
00:16:35,080 --> 00:16:37,520
Speaker 1: that are really effective campaigners are the ones that pretend

295
00:16:37,520 --> 00:16:39,920
Speaker 1: they don't believe what they actually believe. Sure, on the

296
00:16:39,960 --> 00:16:43,160
Speaker 1: other hand, Republicans win when we effectively cut through the

297
00:16:43,200 --> 00:16:46,200
Speaker 1: media lies and explain what it is that we in

298
00:16:46,280 --> 00:16:49,400
Speaker 1: fact believe. Look, Blake masters, he went through a really

299
00:16:49,480 --> 00:16:55,160
Speaker 1: rough primary and then came out of the primary with

300
00:16:55,160 --> 00:16:58,360
Speaker 1: no money. And so a month ago Blake was down

301
00:16:58,960 --> 00:17:02,160
Speaker 1: probably eight ten points points, and there were some national

302
00:17:02,200 --> 00:17:04,479
Speaker 1: Republicans who were writing the race off and saying it

303
00:17:04,480 --> 00:17:08,080
Speaker 1: can't be one. The recent polling that we have shows

304
00:17:08,119 --> 00:17:12,399
Speaker 1: the race effectively tied. Now Mark Kelly has unlimited cash

305
00:17:12,400 --> 00:17:16,080
Speaker 1: and he's spent I think over sixty million dollars hammering Blake,

306
00:17:16,240 --> 00:17:19,439
Speaker 1: and it's incredible claiming to be someone he's not. I

307
00:17:19,520 --> 00:17:21,680
Speaker 1: think Blake has a real good shot at winning that race,

308
00:17:21,720 --> 00:17:25,520
Speaker 1: and I'm I've campaigned there, did a big rally with him.

309
00:17:26,160 --> 00:17:29,960
Speaker 1: One of the reasons that I think Blake is more

310
00:17:30,040 --> 00:17:33,800
Speaker 1: likely than not to win that race is Kerry Lake

311
00:17:33,920 --> 00:17:35,920
Speaker 1: is going to win governor and that's actually one of

312
00:17:35,920 --> 00:17:37,399
Speaker 1: the reasons I think Herschel is going to win and

313
00:17:37,520 --> 00:17:41,080
Speaker 1: both of those states you've got, Kemp is going to win.

314
00:17:41,160 --> 00:17:45,639
Speaker 1: In Georgia, he could win eight nine ten points if

315
00:17:45,680 --> 00:17:49,960
Speaker 1: that happens. I have a hard time envisioning who is

316
00:17:50,000 --> 00:17:53,200
Speaker 1: the Georgia voter who goes in and votes for Kemp,

317
00:17:53,440 --> 00:17:56,040
Speaker 1: And yeah, I would say that. And there's are two

318
00:17:56,119 --> 00:17:59,560
Speaker 1: totally polar opposite candidates at the same time, and you

319
00:17:59,600 --> 00:18:02,080
Speaker 1: have a hard time imagining that you would actually be

320
00:18:02,160 --> 00:18:07,200
Speaker 1: that deliberate and say Republican here for governor, liberal liberal,

321
00:18:07,359 --> 00:18:10,840
Speaker 1: hardcore democrat for Senate. You know, guy who's praised Fidel Castro.

322
00:18:10,920 --> 00:18:16,399
Speaker 1: I mean that that hardcore socialist. There is some risk

323
00:18:16,440 --> 00:18:18,720
Speaker 1: in Georgia there will be some voters who vote for

324
00:18:18,800 --> 00:18:23,320
Speaker 1: Camp and don't vote in Senate. Yeah, that's possible if

325
00:18:23,400 --> 00:18:25,560
Speaker 1: Kemp is winning eight nine ten points. I just don't

326
00:18:25,560 --> 00:18:27,200
Speaker 1: believe it's going to be eight nine ten points of

327
00:18:27,240 --> 00:18:30,399
Speaker 1: the electorate. Same thing in Arizona. Carry Lake is a

328
00:18:30,440 --> 00:18:32,720
Speaker 1: really strong candidate. I went and turned into rock star.

329
00:18:32,840 --> 00:18:35,520
Speaker 1: You've been around her, you spent time with her. I

330
00:18:35,560 --> 00:18:38,800
Speaker 1: think she's one of those candidates that you say, oh like,

331
00:18:39,000 --> 00:18:42,120
Speaker 1: not just oh as a governor, like, oh like, this

332
00:18:42,160 --> 00:18:44,359
Speaker 1: could be a new voice in the conservative movement. Yet

333
00:18:44,440 --> 00:18:46,439
Speaker 1: she is already a star. When she wins, she's going

334
00:18:46,480 --> 00:18:48,760
Speaker 1: to be a bigger star. I did a big rally

335
00:18:48,800 --> 00:18:53,320
Speaker 1: with both her and Blake. She's very impressive. The polling

336
00:18:53,440 --> 00:18:57,080
Speaker 1: there shows her pretty consistently up about four to five points.

337
00:18:57,480 --> 00:19:00,560
Speaker 1: I think if Lake wins by five points, Blake wins. Also,

338
00:19:01,359 --> 00:19:04,280
Speaker 1: if Lake only wins by two or three points, Blake

339
00:19:04,359 --> 00:19:07,159
Speaker 1: could lose that race. So it depends on movement. But

340
00:19:07,320 --> 00:19:11,320
Speaker 1: Arizona is a very winnable race. The next state that

341
00:19:11,400 --> 00:19:14,960
Speaker 1: we have a decent shot at is New Hampshire. New Hampshire.

342
00:19:15,000 --> 00:19:18,720
Speaker 1: The Republican nominee is General Don Buldock. He was a

343
00:19:19,119 --> 00:19:24,520
Speaker 1: retired general served thirty plus years of the military. New

344
00:19:24,560 --> 00:19:29,120
Speaker 1: Hampshire is a purple state. The incumbent Democrat, Maggie Hassan,

345
00:19:30,320 --> 00:19:36,880
Speaker 1: I think is quite vulnerable. Her approval rating is consistently

346
00:19:36,920 --> 00:19:39,720
Speaker 1: below fifty percent. Joe Biden's approval rating in the state

347
00:19:40,320 --> 00:19:42,639
Speaker 1: is terrible. I think it's in the thirties. I was

348
00:19:42,680 --> 00:19:44,200
Speaker 1: just saying in the thirties last week when I was

349
00:19:44,200 --> 00:19:48,239
Speaker 1: looking at that race. Bulldock doesn't have much money and

350
00:19:48,480 --> 00:19:50,960
Speaker 1: the National Republicans haven't been putting a whole lot of

351
00:19:50,960 --> 00:19:54,120
Speaker 1: money into it. Both Arizona and New Hampshire have been

352
00:19:54,160 --> 00:19:57,360
Speaker 1: on the short end of the stick with battles with

353
00:19:57,480 --> 00:20:01,479
Speaker 1: Mitch McConnell and his superpack. Not sure whether they're going

354
00:20:01,480 --> 00:20:05,359
Speaker 1: to invest or not. And so you know our number

355
00:20:05,400 --> 00:20:09,200
Speaker 1: three on number four pickup opportunity. We're sending our candidates

356
00:20:09,240 --> 00:20:12,880
Speaker 1: into fights where they're being out spent three to one,

357
00:20:13,040 --> 00:20:16,520
Speaker 1: five to one, ten to one. The money differential is massive.

358
00:20:17,720 --> 00:20:19,920
Speaker 1: But I think Bulldock could be one of the real

359
00:20:20,080 --> 00:20:24,000
Speaker 1: surprises on election night because he has not been given

360
00:20:24,000 --> 00:20:27,920
Speaker 1: the resources frankly needed to make that state fully competitive.

361
00:20:27,960 --> 00:20:30,240
Speaker 1: But I think it would not surprise me at all

362
00:20:30,680 --> 00:20:34,760
Speaker 1: to see General Bulldock win that race despite not having

363
00:20:34,760 --> 00:20:36,879
Speaker 1: the reinforcements he needed. When you see that, there's a

364
00:20:36,880 --> 00:20:38,600
Speaker 1: lot of people that are going to be listening and

365
00:20:38,680 --> 00:20:41,000
Speaker 1: watching and they're gonna say, there we go again the

366
00:20:41,080 --> 00:20:45,320
Speaker 1: Republican you know leadership screwing this up. How frustrating is

367
00:20:45,320 --> 00:20:47,520
Speaker 1: it when you see opportunities like this New Hampshire being

368
00:20:47,520 --> 00:20:51,439
Speaker 1: a sleeper race and having these you know kingmakers as

369
00:20:51,480 --> 00:20:53,480
Speaker 1: I call them, like, Nope, we've already said that one's

370
00:20:53,520 --> 00:20:55,919
Speaker 1: impossible to come back from. It's going to go to

371
00:20:55,920 --> 00:20:58,480
Speaker 1: the Democrats. We're moving on to these other races when

372
00:20:58,520 --> 00:21:01,840
Speaker 1: in reality they should have died there early on. Well

373
00:21:01,880 --> 00:21:04,400
Speaker 1: there's a reason for that, which is the single largest

374
00:21:04,440 --> 00:21:09,840
Speaker 1: funder of Republican Senate candidates as Mitch McConnell's superpack. Mitch

375
00:21:09,920 --> 00:21:12,679
Speaker 1: puts all of his money behind moderates and incumbents, and

376
00:21:12,840 --> 00:21:16,960
Speaker 1: conservatives get left alone. Conservatives get star for resources, and

377
00:21:17,359 --> 00:21:21,040
Speaker 1: Republican donors give to that superpack knowing that that's not

378
00:21:21,080 --> 00:21:24,000
Speaker 1: going to go to conservatives. And right now I'm trying

379
00:21:24,000 --> 00:21:26,440
Speaker 1: to fill that void in house races, and in house

380
00:21:26,560 --> 00:21:30,160
Speaker 1: races I'm backing conservatives because Republican leadership does the same thing.

381
00:21:30,400 --> 00:21:34,200
Speaker 1: They back moderates, they don't back conservatives with anywhere near

382
00:21:34,240 --> 00:21:37,399
Speaker 1: the same financial resources. And so look, part of the

383
00:21:37,440 --> 00:21:40,840
Speaker 1: reason why Arizona and New Hampshire not getting the funding

384
00:21:40,960 --> 00:21:45,840
Speaker 1: that they deserve is that both of those candidates are

385
00:21:45,880 --> 00:21:50,280
Speaker 1: strongly aligned with Donald Trump, and Republican leadership doesn't like that.

386
00:21:50,880 --> 00:21:52,520
Speaker 1: My view is, I want to win and have a

387
00:21:52,560 --> 00:21:57,720
Speaker 1: majority of strong conservatives, and I think it was a

388
00:21:57,760 --> 00:22:02,640
Speaker 1: mistake not to invest more vigorous slee in both Arizona

389
00:22:02,680 --> 00:22:06,560
Speaker 1: and New Hampshire. Look, Arizona, you had an added complication

390
00:22:06,840 --> 00:22:12,040
Speaker 1: in that Blake Master's main financial donors, Peter Teele, someone

391
00:22:12,080 --> 00:22:16,240
Speaker 1: I know very very well. Peter and Mitch McConnell were

392
00:22:16,240 --> 00:22:18,280
Speaker 1: each look eat each other going, you fund the race. No,

393
00:22:18,400 --> 00:22:21,840
Speaker 1: you fund the race, And for a long time they

394
00:22:21,920 --> 00:22:26,119
Speaker 1: left Blake out there gasping for air. I talked at

395
00:22:26,160 --> 00:22:27,879
Speaker 1: that point, right, I'm like, I don't care who funds

396
00:22:27,920 --> 00:22:30,200
Speaker 1: the race, but somebody fund the damn race, because let's

397
00:22:30,200 --> 00:22:33,320
Speaker 1: not give away a win. I think we could end

398
00:22:33,400 --> 00:22:35,679
Speaker 1: up winning both those states anyway, but there needs to

399
00:22:35,720 --> 00:22:40,439
Speaker 1: be a serious discussion about how to ensure that strong

400
00:22:40,560 --> 00:22:45,080
Speaker 1: conservative candidates actually have the funds to communicate our messages.

401
00:22:45,400 --> 00:22:48,159
Speaker 1: All right, Two more pickup opportunities that are long shots

402
00:22:48,200 --> 00:22:55,320
Speaker 1: but but not impossible, Colorado and Washington State. Colorado has

403
00:22:55,359 --> 00:22:58,159
Speaker 1: also been a purple to blue state, but in a

404
00:22:58,200 --> 00:23:01,320
Speaker 1: good year, a Republican can win in Colorado. Cory Gardner

405
00:23:01,320 --> 00:23:07,439
Speaker 1: in twenty fourteen was elected in Colorado. Joe O'Day, who's running,

406
00:23:07,440 --> 00:23:10,960
Speaker 1: I think, is a good candidate. I think Michael Bennett,

407
00:23:10,960 --> 00:23:15,240
Speaker 1: the incumbent, is very vulnerable. He's done nothing in his

408
00:23:15,440 --> 00:23:18,640
Speaker 1: entire time in the Senate. He is an empty suit.

409
00:23:18,680 --> 00:23:23,080
Speaker 1: He is not well known in the state. Colorado has

410
00:23:23,119 --> 00:23:26,399
Speaker 1: gotten bumpier because O'Day and Trump are in a pissing match,

411
00:23:27,200 --> 00:23:31,240
Speaker 1: and it, you know, it makes you want to just

412
00:23:31,240 --> 00:23:37,200
Speaker 1: just jump out a window. O'Day foolishly went on a

413
00:23:37,240 --> 00:23:40,600
Speaker 1: Sunday show and when asked about twenty twenty four, said, no,

414
00:23:40,640 --> 00:23:44,920
Speaker 1: Trump shouldn't run, and I will oppose him if he does. Now,

415
00:23:45,000 --> 00:23:47,720
Speaker 1: you might say, okay, if you're trying to appeal to

416
00:23:47,840 --> 00:23:51,639
Speaker 1: moderate independence, squish Colorado voters, Yeah, I understand why you

417
00:23:51,680 --> 00:23:55,760
Speaker 1: would say that. Still a bad move. Well, and it's

418
00:23:55,800 --> 00:23:58,960
Speaker 1: a bad move because if you understand the universe in

419
00:23:59,000 --> 00:24:03,280
Speaker 1: which we live, Donald Trump reacts to things like that,

420
00:24:03,960 --> 00:24:06,440
Speaker 1: and so Trump, I think, the next day, immediately came

421
00:24:06,440 --> 00:24:10,120
Speaker 1: out blasting O'Day and telling Republicans don't vote for the guy.

422
00:24:11,119 --> 00:24:13,600
Speaker 1: And you're just sitting there going, okay, great, So we're

423
00:24:13,640 --> 00:24:17,320
Speaker 1: going to elect the Democrat who votes pretty much one

424
00:24:17,359 --> 00:24:23,000
Speaker 1: hundred percent of the time with Schumer and Biden. You know,

425
00:24:23,119 --> 00:24:28,280
Speaker 1: O'Day would not be conservative in Texas, but in Colorado,

426
00:24:28,480 --> 00:24:31,760
Speaker 1: it'd be a great pickup in Colorado. I want people

427
00:24:31,760 --> 00:24:34,560
Speaker 1: to vote for Joe O'Day because I want Chuck Schumer

428
00:24:34,560 --> 00:24:39,520
Speaker 1: out of power. I wish O'Day had had the judgment

429
00:24:39,640 --> 00:24:44,200
Speaker 1: just not to poke the bear. Just don't don't piss

430
00:24:44,240 --> 00:24:48,720
Speaker 1: off Trump, because the races we lose are races where

431
00:24:48,760 --> 00:24:52,000
Speaker 1: there's a pissing match between the Republican candidate and Trump.

432
00:24:52,119 --> 00:24:54,320
Speaker 1: It's a seven inflicted wound almost every time when you

433
00:24:54,359 --> 00:24:56,399
Speaker 1: look at this map at this point, and do I

434
00:24:56,560 --> 00:25:00,800
Speaker 1: wish Trump would exercise the restraint not to take a

435
00:25:00,840 --> 00:25:03,679
Speaker 1: bat to him. Yes, but he's not going to, so

436
00:25:03,720 --> 00:25:05,840
Speaker 1: I might wish that all I want. He's not going to.

437
00:25:06,720 --> 00:25:10,560
Speaker 1: So that means a candidate ought to have the sense. Look,

438
00:25:10,560 --> 00:25:12,640
Speaker 1: it would have been very easy for a Day to say,

439
00:25:14,040 --> 00:25:16,120
Speaker 1: I'm not going to worry about twenty twenty four. It's

440
00:25:16,119 --> 00:25:19,560
Speaker 1: twenty twenty two. I'm on the ballot. The countries in crisis,

441
00:25:19,640 --> 00:25:23,520
Speaker 1: we've got to win. This is where anytime you have

442
00:25:23,640 --> 00:25:26,640
Speaker 1: first time candidates, you're rolling the dice. I talked about

443
00:25:26,640 --> 00:25:29,600
Speaker 1: Adam Laxalton, what I like about him. He's a discipline candidate.

444
00:25:30,160 --> 00:25:33,919
Speaker 1: Adam wouldn't have said that. It's a dumb thing for

445
00:25:34,000 --> 00:25:37,240
Speaker 1: a candidate to say, But first time candidates make that

446
00:25:37,359 --> 00:25:41,639
Speaker 1: mistake because they don't game gameplay through. Okay, if I

447
00:25:41,720 --> 00:25:44,680
Speaker 1: say this, what happens, what had caused and effect, that's

448
00:25:44,680 --> 00:25:49,080
Speaker 1: exactly right. So I don't think the chances in Colorado

449
00:25:49,119 --> 00:25:54,040
Speaker 1: are zero, But unfortunately it's gotten messier. I'm less optimistic

450
00:25:54,080 --> 00:25:57,359
Speaker 1: on Colorado now that I was two weeks ago. Still possible,

451
00:25:57,400 --> 00:26:01,480
Speaker 1: but it would take a really good, really good year,

452
00:26:01,640 --> 00:26:04,000
Speaker 1: and it would take a lot of Republicans being willing

453
00:26:04,040 --> 00:26:07,800
Speaker 1: to say, look, I'm going to overlook this fight between

454
00:26:07,880 --> 00:26:10,480
Speaker 1: him and Trump. Yeah, I will say, by the way,

455
00:26:12,560 --> 00:26:15,040
Speaker 1: I wish Trump was spending some of his money. Trump's

456
00:26:15,040 --> 00:26:17,360
Speaker 1: got one hundred million dollars and he's spending almost none

457
00:26:17,359 --> 00:26:20,960
Speaker 1: of it to support these candidates. That is not ideal

458
00:26:20,960 --> 00:26:23,600
Speaker 1: when Mitch McConnell only spends for the moderates of the

459
00:26:23,640 --> 00:26:26,600
Speaker 1: anti Trump candidates. It would be nice if Trump would

460
00:26:26,600 --> 00:26:28,400
Speaker 1: spend some of that one hundred million dollars to help

461
00:26:28,440 --> 00:26:32,680
Speaker 1: some of these candidates who Mitch is abandoning because they're

462
00:26:32,680 --> 00:26:35,760
Speaker 1: pro Trump. Those are the two pockets of money that

463
00:26:35,800 --> 00:26:39,359
Speaker 1: are there, and right now, neither of them are spending

464
00:26:39,359 --> 00:26:42,480
Speaker 1: in a number of these states. They're not all right.

465
00:26:42,520 --> 00:26:47,959
Speaker 1: So those are the six realistic pickup opportunities. Where are

466
00:26:48,000 --> 00:26:51,080
Speaker 1: we on defense? We're on defense in six states. So

467
00:26:51,119 --> 00:26:54,280
Speaker 1: these are states that are currently Republican but we could lose.

468
00:26:54,320 --> 00:26:56,359
Speaker 1: We're at fifty fifty, so we need a net of

469
00:26:56,440 --> 00:27:00,320
Speaker 1: plus one to take control of the Senate, the most

470
00:27:00,440 --> 00:27:04,800
Speaker 1: vulnerable incumbent Republican is Ron Johnson and Wisconsin, which is

471
00:27:04,800 --> 00:27:08,560
Speaker 1: shocking because he's a very conservative guy. He's been leading

472
00:27:08,560 --> 00:27:12,000
Speaker 1: on the issue of Hunter Biden and the Biden investigation

473
00:27:12,080 --> 00:27:14,000
Speaker 1: and some of the documents. We've been seeing more and

474
00:27:14,080 --> 00:27:15,920
Speaker 1: more come out about that in the last week or two.

475
00:27:16,480 --> 00:27:18,920
Speaker 1: I hope that helps him in that state. Why is

476
00:27:18,960 --> 00:27:22,760
Speaker 1: he so vulnerable though, because Wisconsin's a purple state. I mean,

477
00:27:22,800 --> 00:27:25,800
Speaker 1: Wisconsin is always a purple state. It's evenly divided. You've

478
00:27:25,840 --> 00:27:28,199
Speaker 1: got some very liberal voters there, You've got some very

479
00:27:28,240 --> 00:27:32,919
Speaker 1: conservative voters there. It's a very blue collar state. So

480
00:27:33,240 --> 00:27:36,120
Speaker 1: I think Ron's gonna win. And actually the current polling

481
00:27:36,160 --> 00:27:39,800
Speaker 1: shows him up four to five points. He's been pretty consistently.

482
00:27:40,359 --> 00:27:43,760
Speaker 1: The polling has been stronger both of Ron's previous elections.

483
00:27:44,840 --> 00:27:47,560
Speaker 1: He shocked the world by winning because the polsters and

484
00:27:47,600 --> 00:27:49,919
Speaker 1: the pundits at all City was gonna lose, and he

485
00:27:49,960 --> 00:27:52,359
Speaker 1: won twice in a row. I like Ron. Ron is

486
00:27:52,400 --> 00:27:54,560
Speaker 1: one of my closer friends in the Senate. He's a

487
00:27:54,840 --> 00:27:57,760
Speaker 1: strong conservative, He's a fighter. I've gone and campaigned with

488
00:27:57,880 --> 00:28:00,439
Speaker 1: Ron and Wisconsin. I think we're gonna win with consint.

489
00:28:00,480 --> 00:28:04,440
Speaker 1: It helps that Mandela Barnes, the Democrat, is really far

490
00:28:04,520 --> 00:28:07,400
Speaker 1: out there. He's been really vocal in favor of cash

491
00:28:07,480 --> 00:28:10,720
Speaker 1: less bail and abolishing the police. He's one of these

492
00:28:10,760 --> 00:28:16,160
Speaker 1: AOC socialists who the Democrats nominated, and I think that's

493
00:28:16,160 --> 00:28:18,879
Speaker 1: out a step with Wisconsin. So I feel pretty good

494
00:28:19,520 --> 00:28:22,480
Speaker 1: Ron will hold that seat. It's it's still seriously contested,

495
00:28:23,040 --> 00:28:27,240
Speaker 1: but I think we'll hold on to that. The next

496
00:28:27,440 --> 00:28:32,040
Speaker 1: most likely Republican seat for us to lose is Pennsylvania.

497
00:28:32,160 --> 00:28:34,520
Speaker 1: Pennsylvania right now is held by Pat Toomey. It's a

498
00:28:34,560 --> 00:28:38,800
Speaker 1: Republican seat. Like Wisconsin, Pennsylvania is a purple state. It

499
00:28:38,840 --> 00:28:41,600
Speaker 1: can vote Republican, it can vote Democrat. Right now, it

500
00:28:41,720 --> 00:28:47,760
Speaker 1: has one Democrat senator one Republican senator. That race has

501
00:28:47,800 --> 00:28:54,400
Speaker 1: been bumpy. Doctor Oz, the Republican candidate, had a vigorous

502
00:28:54,480 --> 00:28:58,040
Speaker 1: primary with another candidate, Dave McCormick, who I supported the primary.

503
00:28:58,080 --> 00:29:00,120
Speaker 1: I think would have been a very strong nominee. But

504
00:29:00,160 --> 00:29:06,400
Speaker 1: ozwe Oz had for a couple of months a pretty

505
00:29:06,440 --> 00:29:11,040
Speaker 1: bumpy general election campaign against John Fetterman, and he was

506
00:29:11,160 --> 00:29:15,920
Speaker 1: down ten points over a month ago. The race right

507
00:29:15,960 --> 00:29:19,440
Speaker 1: now is basically tied, so Oz has had a very

508
00:29:19,480 --> 00:29:23,080
Speaker 1: good month and Fetterman has had a terrible month. You

509
00:29:23,160 --> 00:29:26,760
Speaker 1: mentioned Feederman having a terrible month. Part of it is is, yes,

510
00:29:26,840 --> 00:29:29,600
Speaker 1: he had this stroke. Part of it was the debate

511
00:29:29,680 --> 00:29:33,320
Speaker 1: that he had. We talked about that on a previous verdict,

512
00:29:33,360 --> 00:29:35,840
Speaker 1: which was why would you even debate if you're clearly

513
00:29:35,840 --> 00:29:39,200
Speaker 1: in that in that place cognitively having a very hard

514
00:29:39,200 --> 00:29:42,120
Speaker 1: time communicating. But now he's got another big problem, and

515
00:29:42,200 --> 00:29:46,840
Speaker 1: that is he's screwing up on issues, fracking being number one.

516
00:29:47,400 --> 00:29:49,160
Speaker 1: I want people to take a look at this video

517
00:29:49,240 --> 00:29:52,200
Speaker 1: because this may be why he loses this race. Take

518
00:29:52,240 --> 00:29:55,640
Speaker 1: a look. In a twenty eighteen interview, you said, quote,

519
00:29:56,040 --> 00:29:59,040
Speaker 1: I don't support fracking at all. I never have. But

520
00:29:59,200 --> 00:30:03,240
Speaker 1: earlier this you told an interview or quote, I support fracking.

521
00:30:03,600 --> 00:30:06,720
Speaker 1: I support the energy independence that we should have here

522
00:30:06,800 --> 00:30:10,280
Speaker 1: in the United States. I've always supported fracking, and I

523
00:30:10,320 --> 00:30:14,360
Speaker 1: always believe that independence with our energy is critical and

524
00:30:14,480 --> 00:30:18,280
Speaker 1: we can't be held you know, you ransom to somebody

525
00:30:18,320 --> 00:30:21,240
Speaker 1: like Russia. But there is that twenty eighteen interview that

526
00:30:21,280 --> 00:30:24,160
Speaker 1: you said, quote, I don't support fracking at all. So

527
00:30:24,200 --> 00:30:32,040
Speaker 1: how do you square the two. I do support fracking,

528
00:30:32,600 --> 00:30:38,560
Speaker 1: and I don't, I don't, I support fracking, and I

529
00:30:38,640 --> 00:30:42,200
Speaker 1: stand and I do support fracking. There's nothing worse than

530
00:30:42,200 --> 00:30:45,200
Speaker 1: a flip flop in politics, especially on an issue that's

531
00:30:45,200 --> 00:30:48,000
Speaker 1: so important in Pennsylvania and fracking. The only thing I

532
00:30:48,000 --> 00:30:49,960
Speaker 1: think now that I realize is worse than that is

533
00:30:50,000 --> 00:30:53,800
Speaker 1: an incoherent flip flop. And this was that moment in

534
00:30:53,800 --> 00:30:55,840
Speaker 1: that race where I was like, it's not just that

535
00:30:55,880 --> 00:30:59,040
Speaker 1: you can't communicate, it's literally a flip flop with bad

536
00:30:59,080 --> 00:31:03,080
Speaker 1: communication where it looks like he's incoherent and just not

537
00:31:03,200 --> 00:31:06,640
Speaker 1: in control. That had to have an impact on the voters. Yeah. Look,

538
00:31:06,680 --> 00:31:11,040
Speaker 1: I think that that moment is one of the worst

539
00:31:11,080 --> 00:31:15,800
Speaker 1: moments I've ever seen in a political debate, particularly that

540
00:31:15,920 --> 00:31:20,440
Speaker 1: second question on fracking when she asks it. The silence,

541
00:31:20,760 --> 00:31:24,960
Speaker 1: the confusion, the eyes darting around, that he clearly has

542
00:31:25,000 --> 00:31:28,760
Speaker 1: no idea what's been being asked or what to say,

543
00:31:28,880 --> 00:31:31,840
Speaker 1: and he just repeats the line. All he knows to

544
00:31:31,880 --> 00:31:34,920
Speaker 1: say is I support fracking, because presumably someone trained him

545
00:31:35,200 --> 00:31:40,120
Speaker 1: to memorize that, but he's not. From that video, he's

546
00:31:40,160 --> 00:31:42,960
Speaker 1: not able to actually engage in a conversation with another

547
00:31:43,040 --> 00:31:46,320
Speaker 1: human being about substance, which is kind of a problem

548
00:31:46,360 --> 00:31:50,040
Speaker 1: because the job of the Senate and in tales, engaging

549
00:31:50,040 --> 00:31:52,720
Speaker 1: in lots of conversations about substance and hearings and making

550
00:31:52,720 --> 00:31:57,600
Speaker 1: determinations and judgment. I think that debate is unbelievably damaging.

551
00:31:58,520 --> 00:32:03,160
Speaker 1: Prior to the debate, my handicapping of Pennsylvania was it

552
00:32:03,200 --> 00:32:06,040
Speaker 1: was essentially a coin flip. If we were going to

553
00:32:06,080 --> 00:32:09,000
Speaker 1: lose a seat, it was going to be Pennsylvania. I

554
00:32:09,040 --> 00:32:14,160
Speaker 1: think after the debate the odds have shifted significantly to

555
00:32:16,280 --> 00:32:19,080
Speaker 1: Republicans winning, to oswinning. I think Oz is likely to

556
00:32:19,120 --> 00:32:22,280
Speaker 1: win now. One downside, there were hundreds of thousands of

557
00:32:22,280 --> 00:32:25,200
Speaker 1: Pennsylvania votes that had been cast already before that debate happened.

558
00:32:25,720 --> 00:32:28,640
Speaker 1: They early voting, There is big early voting, there is

559
00:32:28,680 --> 00:32:32,440
Speaker 1: big They put in place universal mail in ballots, an

560
00:32:32,520 --> 00:32:37,480
Speaker 1: incredibly foolish decision, a decision that invites voter fraud. But

561
00:32:37,520 --> 00:32:39,160
Speaker 1: one of the reasons it's a bad idea to have

562
00:32:39,240 --> 00:32:42,640
Speaker 1: such early voting is you bake in votes before late

563
00:32:42,640 --> 00:32:45,120
Speaker 1: breaking developments happened. So for all the people who voted

564
00:32:45,160 --> 00:32:47,760
Speaker 1: before the debate, they didn't see this, They didn't know

565
00:32:47,840 --> 00:32:51,040
Speaker 1: that they just voted for someone who can't answer simple

566
00:32:51,120 --> 00:32:55,600
Speaker 1: questions and has clearly been deceiving the voters by saying

567
00:32:55,640 --> 00:32:57,960
Speaker 1: he's up to the task. I want to ask you

568
00:32:58,040 --> 00:33:02,959
Speaker 1: in a human level. I watched that debate and I

569
00:33:03,000 --> 00:33:07,040
Speaker 1: genuinely felt bad for Fetterman. I also think, even after

570
00:33:07,120 --> 00:33:09,920
Speaker 1: that debate, seeing the way his campaign is obsessed with

571
00:33:10,040 --> 00:33:12,080
Speaker 1: just getting him over the finish line, and the Democratic

572
00:33:12,200 --> 00:33:16,400
Speaker 1: National Committee, the Democratic leadership, that I feel like they're

573
00:33:16,400 --> 00:33:19,520
Speaker 1: almost taking advantage of him. They know that clearly something's changed,

574
00:33:19,560 --> 00:33:22,720
Speaker 1: that he's been incapacitated. I'm sitting there going as a

575
00:33:22,800 --> 00:33:24,840
Speaker 1: human being, I want him to get as much help

576
00:33:24,880 --> 00:33:27,840
Speaker 1: as he can to overcome this stroke that he's had.

577
00:33:28,200 --> 00:33:31,520
Speaker 1: And they're just propping this guy up, saying we're gonna

578
00:33:31,600 --> 00:33:35,120
Speaker 1: keep forcing you down this election road. I found it

579
00:33:35,200 --> 00:33:38,200
Speaker 1: just completely disheartening it as a human being to see

580
00:33:38,240 --> 00:33:41,440
Speaker 1: them out there saying, no, no, no, we're gonna he's fine.

581
00:33:41,840 --> 00:33:45,920
Speaker 1: Shut up, stop asking questions. He's fine. Clearly he's not fine,

582
00:33:45,960 --> 00:33:47,600
Speaker 1: and they want to win this seat so bad they

583
00:33:47,600 --> 00:33:49,960
Speaker 1: don't care what happens to him. Even well, you know,

584
00:33:49,960 --> 00:33:51,800
Speaker 1: if they're willing to do that, think what they would

585
00:33:51,800 --> 00:33:55,760
Speaker 1: do to try to win the White House in twenty twenty. Yeah. Look,

586
00:33:55,760 --> 00:33:58,880
Speaker 1: it's the same thing they've done with Joe Biden. In

587
00:33:58,920 --> 00:34:03,600
Speaker 1: both instances, You've got someone with severe mental impairments that

588
00:34:03,680 --> 00:34:07,000
Speaker 1: their partisan interests are so important they're willing to weaken it.

589
00:34:07,080 --> 00:34:09,680
Speaker 1: Bernie's them. Just put them up there and attach a

590
00:34:09,760 --> 00:34:12,520
Speaker 1: pully raise their hand when they want him to raise it. Now,

591
00:34:12,640 --> 00:34:15,000
Speaker 1: I will say this. You said you feel sorry for him.

592
00:34:16,080 --> 00:34:18,320
Speaker 1: I gotta say, listen, I feel sorry that he's having

593
00:34:18,360 --> 00:34:22,040
Speaker 1: the health impairments. I don't don't wish ill healthy anyone.

594
00:34:23,160 --> 00:34:28,160
Speaker 1: But before his stroke, John Fetterman was a socialist. He

595
00:34:28,200 --> 00:34:32,319
Speaker 1: was a radical left winger. He was someone who repeatedly

596
00:34:32,440 --> 00:34:36,640
Speaker 1: vote voted to release murderers and violent criminals into the community. Murderers.

597
00:34:36,680 --> 00:34:39,239
Speaker 1: I want people to understand that it's almost been overlooked

598
00:34:39,239 --> 00:34:41,279
Speaker 1: by people act like this is normal. This is a

599
00:34:41,320 --> 00:34:43,440
Speaker 1: guy that actually said people that had murdered people been

600
00:34:43,440 --> 00:34:48,480
Speaker 1: convicted murdering, with no controversy around the the the indictment

601
00:34:48,600 --> 00:34:52,360
Speaker 1: and the verdict of being guilty should be out on

602
00:34:52,400 --> 00:34:55,680
Speaker 1: the streets with the American He said repeatedly that that

603
00:34:55,680 --> 00:34:57,520
Speaker 1: that we could release a third of the people in

604
00:34:57,560 --> 00:35:00,400
Speaker 1: prison in Pennsylvania and there would be no harm to it.

605
00:35:01,400 --> 00:35:04,720
Speaker 1: That is a radical view if you want to empty

606
00:35:04,760 --> 00:35:07,799
Speaker 1: out the jail and release a third of the people immediately.

607
00:35:07,800 --> 00:35:12,080
Speaker 1: And we're not talking traffic offenses. We're talking murderers, we're

608
00:35:12,080 --> 00:35:17,080
Speaker 1: talking rapists, we're talking child molesters. I have less sympathy

609
00:35:17,200 --> 00:35:22,080
Speaker 1: for someone who is a true radical, who is a Marxist,

610
00:35:22,600 --> 00:35:27,319
Speaker 1: and like many Marxists, he's rich, rich people offense. Look,

611
00:35:27,320 --> 00:35:31,360
Speaker 1: he has a trust fund. He was a giant man baby,

612
00:35:32,280 --> 00:35:35,360
Speaker 1: living with his mommy and daddy till he was forty.

613
00:35:35,960 --> 00:35:37,960
Speaker 1: He didn't pay his own taxes, he didn't pay as

614
00:35:37,960 --> 00:35:43,200
Speaker 1: school taxes for thirteen consecutive years. People who inherit great

615
00:35:43,239 --> 00:35:48,399
Speaker 1: wealth and advocate for socialism because they feel guilty about

616
00:35:48,440 --> 00:35:50,360
Speaker 1: the great wealth and so they think socialism is the

617
00:35:50,440 --> 00:35:52,680
Speaker 1: right answer. I don't have a lot of sympathy for them,

618
00:35:52,719 --> 00:35:55,000
Speaker 1: and I think some of it is because my family

619
00:35:55,040 --> 00:35:58,560
Speaker 1: story in Cuba. I've seen what communism does, and I

620
00:35:58,600 --> 00:36:02,879
Speaker 1: don't have empathy for people that want to inflict that

621
00:36:03,000 --> 00:36:07,280
Speaker 1: kind of misery on Americans. I will say this, though

622
00:36:08,800 --> 00:36:14,640
Speaker 1: the Democrats are desperately telling themselves the Fetterman debate didn't

623
00:36:14,680 --> 00:36:17,359
Speaker 1: do any harm. Now quietly in Washington. They're freaking out,

624
00:36:17,400 --> 00:36:20,879
Speaker 1: but but they're trying to spend it otherwise. And in fact,

625
00:36:20,960 --> 00:36:23,360
Speaker 1: Chuck Schumer was caught in a hot mic. I was

626
00:36:23,400 --> 00:36:25,360
Speaker 1: just saying, I want to play this because he was

627
00:36:25,400 --> 00:36:28,080
Speaker 1: caught in a hot mic, and it was really telling

628
00:36:28,160 --> 00:36:31,120
Speaker 1: about where the Democrats are going into the election day.

629
00:36:31,440 --> 00:36:57,680
Speaker 1: Take a listen to this danger use the word danger

630
00:36:57,719 --> 00:37:00,879
Speaker 1: there well, and it's interesting. So what he says we're

631
00:37:00,920 --> 00:37:03,319
Speaker 1: in danger is of losing in Georgia. And he says

632
00:37:03,320 --> 00:37:07,080
Speaker 1: we're slipping in Georgia, and he's acknowledging. And actually the

633
00:37:07,120 --> 00:37:11,480
Speaker 1: debate made a difference there Warnock. The expectations were so high,

634
00:37:11,520 --> 00:37:14,560
Speaker 1: and he's a preacher, he's very smooth, he's very eloquent,

635
00:37:14,640 --> 00:37:19,680
Speaker 1: he's very slick, and Herschel Walker did a very smart

636
00:37:19,880 --> 00:37:23,920
Speaker 1: job of downplaying expectations. And you know, before the debate,

637
00:37:24,239 --> 00:37:26,839
Speaker 1: Herschel would say, well, you know, he's a very slick

638
00:37:26,880 --> 00:37:30,680
Speaker 1: preacher man. He knows he'll talk really, you know, really well.

639
00:37:30,760 --> 00:37:32,239
Speaker 1: And he said, you know, I'm just a country boy

640
00:37:32,280 --> 00:37:35,640
Speaker 1: from Georgia. That was very herschel knew exactly what he

641
00:37:35,680 --> 00:37:39,560
Speaker 1: was doing setting expectations. And I think the contrast there

642
00:37:40,880 --> 00:37:45,480
Speaker 1: Herschel won that debate, which was particularly damaging to Warnock

643
00:37:45,520 --> 00:37:49,360
Speaker 1: because it exposed just how extreme and radical his policies were.

644
00:37:51,760 --> 00:37:54,640
Speaker 1: And that's what Schumer is telling Biden is we're in

645
00:37:54,680 --> 00:37:59,040
Speaker 1: real danger. We're slipping. In Georgia, they're recognizing, Oh, he's

646
00:37:59,040 --> 00:38:03,120
Speaker 1: in trouble. He also tells Biden there the good news

647
00:38:03,200 --> 00:38:05,920
Speaker 1: is he doesn't think the debate hurt them in Pennsylvania.

648
00:38:05,960 --> 00:38:09,279
Speaker 1: So we'll see. Listen, with the hardcore Democrats, if you're

649
00:38:09,280 --> 00:38:12,080
Speaker 1: a hard partisan, if you're a socialist, you're gonna vote

650
00:38:12,120 --> 00:38:14,080
Speaker 1: for Fetterman, and you're gonna vote for Warnock no matter what.

651
00:38:14,360 --> 00:38:18,320
Speaker 1: He's probably right, and look you're hearing more and more chattered.

652
00:38:18,360 --> 00:38:21,280
Speaker 1: The Democrats plan is to try to get Fetterman elected

653
00:38:21,320 --> 00:38:23,880
Speaker 1: and then if he's completely unable to do the job,

654
00:38:24,200 --> 00:38:26,440
Speaker 1: have him resign and fill him with fill him in

655
00:38:26,480 --> 00:38:29,839
Speaker 1: with another Democrat. That this is all about power, and

656
00:38:29,960 --> 00:38:35,399
Speaker 1: he's just fill in the blank right here. I don't

657
00:38:35,440 --> 00:38:37,279
Speaker 1: think Schumer's right, though. I think he's right with his

658
00:38:37,400 --> 00:38:43,400
Speaker 1: hardcore partisans. But with the soccer Mom vote, you know,

659
00:38:43,480 --> 00:38:46,680
Speaker 1: the Philly suburbs, you've got a lot of voters that

660
00:38:46,719 --> 00:38:52,399
Speaker 1: have historically been swing voters that have been sometimes Republicans,

661
00:38:52,400 --> 00:38:58,239
Speaker 1: sometimes Democrats. They're the voters that elected Pat Toomey. I

662
00:38:58,280 --> 00:39:01,040
Speaker 1: don't think if you're a suburban mom and you watch

663
00:39:01,160 --> 00:39:04,680
Speaker 1: that you have any confidence about Federman. I think you

664
00:39:04,719 --> 00:39:08,480
Speaker 1: look at him and say, I've got real concerns there,

665
00:39:08,520 --> 00:39:10,560
Speaker 1: And so I think Schumer is wrong about that. All right,

666
00:39:10,600 --> 00:39:13,040
Speaker 1: where else are we on defense? We're on defense in

667
00:39:13,120 --> 00:39:17,640
Speaker 1: North Carolina, Republican retiring there. Ted Budd is the nominee.

668
00:39:17,680 --> 00:39:20,839
Speaker 1: I was campaigning with Ted earlier this week. I think

669
00:39:20,920 --> 00:39:23,880
Speaker 1: Ted's gonna win. I think he's a smart candidate. I

670
00:39:23,920 --> 00:39:27,120
Speaker 1: think he's running a good campaign. North Carolina is historically

671
00:39:27,120 --> 00:39:29,240
Speaker 1: a purple state. You can't take it for granted. Yeah,

672
00:39:29,280 --> 00:39:31,120
Speaker 1: you've got to fight hard there. Every time. It is

673
00:39:31,160 --> 00:39:33,880
Speaker 1: almost always a race that is decided by a couple

674
00:39:33,880 --> 00:39:37,000
Speaker 1: of points. So I actually worry about North Carolina. I

675
00:39:37,000 --> 00:39:39,320
Speaker 1: think Republicans are taking it a little two for granted

676
00:39:40,840 --> 00:39:43,560
Speaker 1: because Ted Budd is a good enough candidate. They're like, oh,

677
00:39:43,680 --> 00:39:48,440
Speaker 1: we're fine. Historically this has been a dangerous state, and

678
00:39:48,520 --> 00:39:50,279
Speaker 1: so I think we'll win, but we need to take

679
00:39:50,280 --> 00:39:55,280
Speaker 1: it seriously. Ohio jd Vance is the nominee. I spent

680
00:39:55,360 --> 00:39:58,080
Speaker 1: an entire day campaigning with JD. We did events all

681
00:39:58,080 --> 00:40:01,840
Speaker 1: over the state with huge crowd which which goes back

682
00:40:01,880 --> 00:40:05,600
Speaker 1: to when you're on the road, you can feel momentum.

683
00:40:05,880 --> 00:40:08,360
Speaker 1: And I've always said you can tell how election is

684
00:40:08,400 --> 00:40:10,880
Speaker 1: going to turn if it's a tight election based on momentum.

685
00:40:11,239 --> 00:40:14,520
Speaker 1: The momentum there seemed to be massive. I even I

686
00:40:14,880 --> 00:40:17,600
Speaker 1: think I texted you that I was having fomo fear

687
00:40:17,600 --> 00:40:20,240
Speaker 1: of missing out because it seemed like it was such

688
00:40:20,280 --> 00:40:24,319
Speaker 1: a raw, intense, grand debate that was happening, and an

689
00:40:24,400 --> 00:40:27,320
Speaker 1: amazing electric crowd when you were there with him. Yeah. No,

690
00:40:27,400 --> 00:40:29,560
Speaker 1: I think that's exactly right. I will say JD is

691
00:40:29,600 --> 00:40:34,760
Speaker 1: also running a smart, disciplined campaign. He's a first time candidate.

692
00:40:34,800 --> 00:40:38,160
Speaker 1: I was concerned when he started that that with first

693
00:40:38,200 --> 00:40:43,280
Speaker 1: time candidates they're prone to mistakes. That that it. I

694
00:40:43,360 --> 00:40:45,880
Speaker 1: was really impressed. He's doing a good job on the stump.

695
00:40:45,920 --> 00:40:49,279
Speaker 1: He's doing a good job with the grassroots. His messaging

696
00:40:49,400 --> 00:40:53,000
Speaker 1: is tight and disciplined, he's not screwing up, and the

697
00:40:53,080 --> 00:40:57,640
Speaker 1: polling there is pretty consistently showing it with him up

698
00:40:57,680 --> 00:40:59,799
Speaker 1: about four or five points. I think we'll be fine

699
00:40:59,840 --> 00:41:04,120
Speaker 1: and Ohio, it helps that dewined. The incumbent governor is

700
00:41:04,160 --> 00:41:06,279
Speaker 1: going to be reelected by double digits. So we've got

701
00:41:06,280 --> 00:41:09,920
Speaker 1: another another state where a governor has a big, big margin,

702
00:41:10,400 --> 00:41:15,040
Speaker 1: and that should help the Senate candidate as well. Two

703
00:41:15,080 --> 00:41:19,840
Speaker 1: more places were on defense Missouri Republican retirement Roy Blunt.

704
00:41:20,719 --> 00:41:23,840
Speaker 1: Eric Schmidt is the nominee. He's the attorney general. I

705
00:41:24,000 --> 00:41:27,399
Speaker 1: campaigned for him in the primary. Did events all over.

706
00:41:27,440 --> 00:41:32,040
Speaker 1: I think the primary really really mattered. The one candidate

707
00:41:32,600 --> 00:41:35,319
Speaker 1: who could have lost that race was Eric Gryden's. Eric

708
00:41:35,360 --> 00:41:41,799
Speaker 1: Gryten's was the former governor of Missouri. He resigned in

709
00:41:41,880 --> 00:41:46,040
Speaker 1: disgrace and scandal. There were a number of different scandals,

710
00:41:46,080 --> 00:41:50,920
Speaker 1: including a fundraising scandal, but the one that really stuck

711
00:41:50,920 --> 00:41:55,080
Speaker 1: in people's minds was that he was accused of having

712
00:41:55,120 --> 00:41:57,920
Speaker 1: an affair and tying up his mistress in his basement

713
00:41:57,960 --> 00:42:01,320
Speaker 1: and then taking a picture of her against her wishes

714
00:42:01,360 --> 00:42:05,920
Speaker 1: and using it to blackmail her. Pretty ugly stuff. Yeah,

715
00:42:05,960 --> 00:42:10,400
Speaker 1: and he resigned from governor in disgrace. I don't know

716
00:42:10,480 --> 00:42:12,600
Speaker 1: the truth or falsity of any of it. What I

717
00:42:12,640 --> 00:42:16,440
Speaker 1: will say I sort of joked, I said, look for Republicans.

718
00:42:17,280 --> 00:42:19,600
Speaker 1: I don't know that the bar for candidates needs to

719
00:42:19,640 --> 00:42:23,960
Speaker 1: be extraordinarily high. But is it asking too much that

720
00:42:24,000 --> 00:42:27,000
Speaker 1: our candidates not have tied a woman up in their

721
00:42:27,000 --> 00:42:30,120
Speaker 1: basement that that seems to me, Yeah, there should be

722
00:42:30,120 --> 00:42:32,640
Speaker 1: a standard above that. Yeah, it would should just be like, Okay,

723
00:42:32,680 --> 00:42:36,799
Speaker 1: that's a problem, let's not go with that. I think

724
00:42:36,800 --> 00:42:39,840
Speaker 1: if Gryton's had been the nominee, the Democrats would have

725
00:42:39,960 --> 00:42:42,200
Speaker 1: flooded money into that race and tried to make it

726
00:42:42,239 --> 00:42:46,400
Speaker 1: competitive With Eric Schmidt, He's the attorney general. He's a smart,

727
00:42:46,600 --> 00:42:49,680
Speaker 1: disciplined cannidy. He's a conservative. I think he'll be one

728
00:42:49,680 --> 00:42:53,480
Speaker 1: of the most conservative Republicans elected this cycle. So I've

729
00:42:53,520 --> 00:42:56,719
Speaker 1: done multiple events with Eric. I think Eric and Adam

730
00:42:56,800 --> 00:43:01,319
Speaker 1: Laxalt are the two most disciplined. This is not their

731
00:43:01,360 --> 00:43:05,840
Speaker 1: first rodeo, so they're running smart, careful discipline campaigns. Eric's

732
00:43:05,840 --> 00:43:07,480
Speaker 1: going to win that race, but it was one in

733
00:43:07,520 --> 00:43:14,279
Speaker 1: the primary. He's got a billionaire heiress, Trudy Bush, valentine

734
00:43:14,400 --> 00:43:19,200
Speaker 1: of Bush Beer. But at the end of the day,

735
00:43:20,440 --> 00:43:23,000
Speaker 1: Missouri is a red state and Eric is a good candidate.

736
00:43:23,000 --> 00:43:27,520
Speaker 1: He's gonna win that race. The final potential loss is Florida.

737
00:43:27,640 --> 00:43:33,240
Speaker 1: Marco Rubio's up again, Florida historically has been a purple state.

738
00:43:34,200 --> 00:43:36,960
Speaker 1: I think Marco's doing a good job, and this is

739
00:43:37,000 --> 00:43:39,880
Speaker 1: a pattern we're seeing a number of states. De Santis

740
00:43:39,960 --> 00:43:44,200
Speaker 1: is kicking ass and he's going to win I think

741
00:43:44,239 --> 00:43:48,040
Speaker 1: by a significant margin. And just like Georgia, just like Arizona. Like, yeah,

742
00:43:48,080 --> 00:43:50,040
Speaker 1: it'd be hard for you. Imagine you're walk in there

743
00:43:50,040 --> 00:43:52,080
Speaker 1: to vote for De Santis and you don't vote for

744
00:43:52,120 --> 00:43:54,480
Speaker 1: Marco Rubio. At the same time, well, now I will

745
00:43:54,520 --> 00:43:58,560
Speaker 1: say Marco's Democrat candidate is dangerous. They do a really

746
00:43:58,600 --> 00:44:02,280
Speaker 1: good job in can at its selection. His Democrat candidate

747
00:44:02,360 --> 00:44:05,200
Speaker 1: is val Demings. She's an African American woman. She was

748
00:44:05,239 --> 00:44:07,600
Speaker 1: a former police chief, and so one of the great

749
00:44:08,000 --> 00:44:11,840
Speaker 1: vulnerabilities Democrats have nationally is on crime, on abolishing the police,

750
00:44:11,840 --> 00:44:16,880
Speaker 1: on defunding the police. Val Demings is particularly able to

751
00:44:17,000 --> 00:44:20,080
Speaker 1: counter that attack because she was a cop for decades

752
00:44:20,080 --> 00:44:22,800
Speaker 1: and was a police chief, and that's just that attack

753
00:44:22,880 --> 00:44:27,880
Speaker 1: doesn't stick with her. Even so, Marco is a smart,

754
00:44:27,960 --> 00:44:31,719
Speaker 1: discipline candidate. Desanis has done a really good job as

755
00:44:31,719 --> 00:44:33,880
Speaker 1: governor of Florida. I think we'll be fine in Florida.

756
00:44:33,920 --> 00:44:37,600
Speaker 1: But those are those six are the universe of seats

757
00:44:37,719 --> 00:44:40,800
Speaker 1: we could lose. Now, let me throw two wild cards

758
00:44:40,800 --> 00:44:46,320
Speaker 1: in there. The two wild cards are Alaska and Utah.

759
00:44:46,640 --> 00:44:50,440
Speaker 1: So Alaska, you've got a weird race. You have Lisa Murkowski,

760
00:44:51,400 --> 00:44:54,120
Speaker 1: one of the two most moderate Republicans in the Senate

761
00:44:54,200 --> 00:45:00,440
Speaker 1: right now, and then you have Kelly Chebaca, who is

762
00:45:01,080 --> 00:45:05,280
Speaker 1: a challenger, a Republican, she is supported by Donald Trump,

763
00:45:05,320 --> 00:45:07,960
Speaker 1: she's a conservative, she's got a lot of grassroots support.

764
00:45:09,040 --> 00:45:12,080
Speaker 1: And then you've got a Democrat in the race. Now,

765
00:45:12,200 --> 00:45:17,280
Speaker 1: the polling right now between Murkowski and Chewbacca has been

766
00:45:17,360 --> 00:45:19,960
Speaker 1: back and forth and back and forth, and it appears

767
00:45:20,000 --> 00:45:23,799
Speaker 1: to be essentially tied. Mitch McConnell has put I think

768
00:45:23,840 --> 00:45:27,640
Speaker 1: seven eight million dollars into Alaska supporting McConnell. Mind you,

769
00:45:27,719 --> 00:45:29,920
Speaker 1: he's not spending that money in Arizona. He's not spending

770
00:45:29,920 --> 00:45:33,400
Speaker 1: that money in New Hampshire. He's spending it supporting Murkowski

771
00:45:34,040 --> 00:45:38,400
Speaker 1: in Alaska because he supports moderate Republicans and he doesn't

772
00:45:38,400 --> 00:45:40,960
Speaker 1: really want he knows it's going to be a vote

773
00:45:41,000 --> 00:45:44,160
Speaker 1: that that comes to Senate he can control. So I

774
00:45:44,200 --> 00:45:49,640
Speaker 1: will say in that race, the two of them appear

775
00:45:49,719 --> 00:45:55,520
Speaker 1: to be essentially tied. Alaska has this weird dynamic called

776
00:45:55,600 --> 00:45:59,120
Speaker 1: rank choice voting, which is you vote for your first

777
00:45:59,200 --> 00:46:02,239
Speaker 1: choice and you vote for your second choice, and if

778
00:46:02,280 --> 00:46:05,920
Speaker 1: your first choice doesn't finish in the top two, they

779
00:46:05,960 --> 00:46:09,360
Speaker 1: eliminate your first choice and they reallocate your vote to

780
00:46:09,400 --> 00:46:14,840
Speaker 1: your second choice. There is a danger we lose this seat,

781
00:46:15,680 --> 00:46:18,640
Speaker 1: that we elect the Democrat. And so I'm going to say, listen,

782
00:46:18,680 --> 00:46:23,480
Speaker 1: I have stayed out of the primary between Murkowski and Chewbacca.

783
00:46:24,400 --> 00:46:26,320
Speaker 1: In my entire time in the Senate, I have always

784
00:46:26,360 --> 00:46:29,759
Speaker 1: stayed out of primaries involving my colleagues because frankly, you

785
00:46:29,800 --> 00:46:33,319
Speaker 1: can't do the job. Yeah, involve that way if you

786
00:46:33,360 --> 00:46:38,560
Speaker 1: get involved, if you're primary your colleagues, it just makes

787
00:46:38,560 --> 00:46:42,239
Speaker 1: it impossible to actually, particularly in a close Senate, to

788
00:46:42,280 --> 00:46:45,120
Speaker 1: get the votes you need to advance the legislation you

789
00:46:45,200 --> 00:46:47,920
Speaker 1: need to fight for the thirty million Texans I'm elected

790
00:46:47,920 --> 00:46:49,840
Speaker 1: to fighting for. So I've stayed out of the primary.

791
00:46:52,640 --> 00:46:56,879
Speaker 1: I will say it follows the pattern of states where

792
00:46:56,880 --> 00:47:00,120
Speaker 1: we're in trouble, where Trump is in a battle with

793
00:47:00,160 --> 00:47:02,839
Speaker 1: the incumbent Republican. Of the Republican candidates, we talked about

794
00:47:02,880 --> 00:47:06,520
Speaker 1: that in Colorado. Trump and Murkowski hate each other's guts,

795
00:47:07,000 --> 00:47:11,000
Speaker 1: Trump blast Murkowski frequently, Murkowski voter doing peach Trump like

796
00:47:11,040 --> 00:47:17,320
Speaker 1: it's bad blood on both sides. Here's the one request

797
00:47:17,360 --> 00:47:24,080
Speaker 1: I'm going to make of Alaskans. If you vote for Chebaka,

798
00:47:26,120 --> 00:47:29,239
Speaker 1: put Lisa Murkowski as your second choice. And if you

799
00:47:29,320 --> 00:47:33,680
Speaker 1: vote for Murkowski, put Chebaka as your second choice. Now

800
00:47:33,719 --> 00:47:36,399
Speaker 1: that may be hard because they're beating the hell out

801
00:47:36,440 --> 00:47:38,840
Speaker 1: of each other and the sort of angry bad blood.

802
00:47:39,560 --> 00:47:41,840
Speaker 1: Here's what I don't want to have happened. They're both

803
00:47:42,480 --> 00:47:47,320
Speaker 1: at around forty and the Democrat is at around fifteen

804
00:47:47,360 --> 00:47:55,120
Speaker 1: to eighteen. If I don't want to see that, somehow

805
00:47:55,239 --> 00:48:03,160
Speaker 1: go to the Democrats. We'll see who wins. But I

806
00:48:03,160 --> 00:48:05,760
Speaker 1: don't want us to screw that up. It could easily

807
00:48:05,800 --> 00:48:08,399
Speaker 1: be screwed up. I want to wrap today by there

808
00:48:08,480 --> 00:48:11,160
Speaker 1: was a piece of audio that we played in an

809
00:48:11,160 --> 00:48:14,160
Speaker 1: earlier verdict, and and and by the way the way

810
00:48:14,160 --> 00:48:17,319
Speaker 1: it is screwed up. So look, we just saw this

811
00:48:17,440 --> 00:48:21,799
Speaker 1: happen in Alaska with ranked choice voting, which is the

812
00:48:21,800 --> 00:48:27,080
Speaker 1: incumbent Republican House member Don Young passed away. He was

813
00:48:27,120 --> 00:48:29,239
Speaker 1: the longest serving member of the House. He died died

814
00:48:29,280 --> 00:48:33,160
Speaker 1: on an airplane. Um died of old age. They had

815
00:48:33,200 --> 00:48:40,160
Speaker 1: a special election for you had a three person election,

816
00:48:40,880 --> 00:48:46,440
Speaker 1: Sarah Palin, Nick Begich, who was the son of actually

817
00:48:46,480 --> 00:48:49,640
Speaker 1: the Democrat senator, but the son is a Republican, and

818
00:48:49,680 --> 00:48:54,480
Speaker 1: then you had a Democrat. It was sixty percent of

819
00:48:54,520 --> 00:48:57,440
Speaker 1: the voters in Alaska voted for one of the two Republicans,

820
00:48:59,080 --> 00:49:03,759
Speaker 1: but for the Democrat. What happened, though, is when they

821
00:49:03,880 --> 00:49:09,520
Speaker 1: redistributed the votes, more of those votes got redistributed to

822
00:49:09,560 --> 00:49:13,960
Speaker 1: the Democrat than to Sarah Palin. And Alaska just elected

823
00:49:14,000 --> 00:49:16,480
Speaker 1: a Democrat to their one House seat. So it's the

824
00:49:16,520 --> 00:49:19,320
Speaker 1: same as the Senate. It's statewide. We just saw a

825
00:49:19,480 --> 00:49:22,600
Speaker 1: Democrat win because of ranked choice voting. For this to happen,

826
00:49:22,680 --> 00:49:27,760
Speaker 1: look if Murkowski and Chebaka are one and two, that's fine,

827
00:49:27,880 --> 00:49:31,600
Speaker 1: then it will be decided by the Democrats second choice

828
00:49:31,680 --> 00:49:34,759
Speaker 1: votes getting reallocated, and you have to assume almost all

829
00:49:34,760 --> 00:49:40,120
Speaker 1: of those go to Murkowski. The danger is if one

830
00:49:40,160 --> 00:49:46,280
Speaker 1: and two is either Murkowski and the Democrat or Chebaka

831
00:49:46,320 --> 00:49:51,799
Speaker 1: and the Democrat. That if one of the Republicans is third,

832
00:49:52,480 --> 00:49:55,080
Speaker 1: and if they hate the other Republicans so much that

833
00:49:55,120 --> 00:49:58,640
Speaker 1: they all put the Democrat as their second choice. We

834
00:49:58,840 --> 00:50:01,359
Speaker 1: could wake up and find out that we have a

835
00:50:01,400 --> 00:50:05,960
Speaker 1: Schumer Democrats Senate, because let's say we won Nevada and

836
00:50:06,040 --> 00:50:09,239
Speaker 1: lost Alaska. That would be a terrible outcome. We don't

837
00:50:09,239 --> 00:50:10,719
Speaker 1: want that to happen. The one other I want to

838
00:50:10,719 --> 00:50:14,120
Speaker 1: mention that we've talked about on this podcast before is Utah.

839
00:50:14,239 --> 00:50:17,839
Speaker 1: Utah is dangerous. It's typically a red state. Mike Lee,

840
00:50:18,000 --> 00:50:22,080
Speaker 1: who is a phenomenal Senator, a rock rib Conservative, a

841
00:50:22,120 --> 00:50:26,200
Speaker 1: constitutional conservativeh is my closest friend in the Senate. The

842
00:50:26,280 --> 00:50:31,319
Speaker 1: Democrats are running a profoundly dishonest campaign with a fake independent,

843
00:50:31,360 --> 00:50:34,240
Speaker 1: Evan McMullin. He is a Democrat, he's supported by the Democrats,

844
00:50:34,280 --> 00:50:36,440
Speaker 1: he's funded by the Democrats. He's going to vote with

845
00:50:36,440 --> 00:50:39,359
Speaker 1: the Democrats. He's going to support the Democrats. But he's

846
00:50:39,440 --> 00:50:43,200
Speaker 1: pretending to the Utah voters that he's an independent. And

847
00:50:43,239 --> 00:50:45,920
Speaker 1: the danger is there is no Democrat on the ballot.

848
00:50:46,239 --> 00:50:48,000
Speaker 1: This is sort of like the games in Alaska with

849
00:50:48,080 --> 00:50:50,880
Speaker 1: right choice voting. And by the way, Democrats love to

850
00:50:50,880 --> 00:50:54,440
Speaker 1: play games with democracy because they don't actually care about democracy.

851
00:50:54,480 --> 00:50:56,960
Speaker 1: They care about power. So whether it is electing a

852
00:50:57,040 --> 00:51:01,200
Speaker 1: John Fetterman who cannot process us and answer simple questions

853
00:51:01,200 --> 00:51:04,960
Speaker 1: in the English language, or using ranked choice voters voting

854
00:51:05,000 --> 00:51:07,160
Speaker 1: to elect a Democrat with sixty percent of the voters

855
00:51:07,239 --> 00:51:11,359
Speaker 1: vote for Republicans. Or fooling the voters of Utah by

856
00:51:11,400 --> 00:51:15,120
Speaker 1: not nominating a Democrat and having but endorsing the independent

857
00:51:15,160 --> 00:51:17,920
Speaker 1: who is their candidate. Yeah, the Democrat Party has formerly

858
00:51:18,000 --> 00:51:20,279
Speaker 1: endorsed him. He raises his money on Act Blue, which

859
00:51:20,320 --> 00:51:22,320
Speaker 1: is where all the socialists and liberals give their money,

860
00:51:22,600 --> 00:51:26,600
Speaker 1: and he's hired Democrat consultants to support him. He is

861
00:51:26,600 --> 00:51:30,360
Speaker 1: a Democrat, but their deceptive plan is get all the

862
00:51:30,440 --> 00:51:32,480
Speaker 1: deeds to vote for him, and just get five to

863
00:51:32,560 --> 00:51:36,600
Speaker 1: ten percent of the really moderate ours who say, gosh,

864
00:51:36,600 --> 00:51:40,000
Speaker 1: he seems like a nice young man and so we'll

865
00:51:40,040 --> 00:51:43,080
Speaker 1: go with him, and they could steal that seat, and

866
00:51:43,120 --> 00:51:49,759
Speaker 1: so Utah, Utah matters. I think Mike will win, but

867
00:51:49,880 --> 00:51:52,760
Speaker 1: the two wild cards in this or Alaska in Utah.

868
00:51:52,800 --> 00:51:55,480
Speaker 1: I want to end the podcast with something that I

869
00:51:55,520 --> 00:51:58,120
Speaker 1: think it went viral. We played a little bit of

870
00:51:58,200 --> 00:52:01,319
Speaker 1: a snip of the lies of the last year and

871
00:52:01,320 --> 00:52:05,359
Speaker 1: a half of the Democratic Party. And if you hear this,

872
00:52:06,120 --> 00:52:08,200
Speaker 1: share it with your family and friends. If you have

873
00:52:08,360 --> 00:52:10,880
Speaker 1: people that are on the fence, about what this election

874
00:52:11,040 --> 00:52:15,640
Speaker 1: is about. This montage that has been put together is

875
00:52:15,680 --> 00:52:18,959
Speaker 1: basically the big lies of the Democrats, the media helping

876
00:52:19,000 --> 00:52:22,359
Speaker 1: them sell these big lies. And I want people to

877
00:52:22,400 --> 00:52:25,799
Speaker 1: share this because it's so important that your family and

878
00:52:25,840 --> 00:52:29,200
Speaker 1: friends see this. This is what this race is about. It.

879
00:52:29,200 --> 00:52:31,960
Speaker 1: I'm talking about nation wide control, the House, control, the Senate.

880
00:52:32,200 --> 00:52:34,560
Speaker 1: We just broke down all these races. How important is

881
00:52:34,560 --> 00:52:37,600
Speaker 1: But if you want to remind people what Joe Biden,

882
00:52:38,000 --> 00:52:42,000
Speaker 1: Nancy Pelotian, Chuck Schumer have done to America, this is

883
00:52:42,040 --> 00:52:46,560
Speaker 1: that montage. Share it everywhere on social media. Share the podcast.

884
00:52:46,760 --> 00:52:49,040
Speaker 1: Take a look. You're not going to get COVID if

885
00:52:49,080 --> 00:52:52,960
Speaker 1: you have it. These vaccinations, vaccinated people do not carry

886
00:52:52,960 --> 00:52:55,680
Speaker 1: the virus, don't get sick. Getting those shots out for

887
00:52:55,719 --> 00:52:57,560
Speaker 1: five to eleven year olds is going to provide a

888
00:52:57,600 --> 00:53:01,440
Speaker 1: lot of comfort to American families. Is very running over

889
00:53:01,600 --> 00:53:05,320
Speaker 1: people being strapped, the horrific video of the CBP officers

890
00:53:05,360 --> 00:53:08,480
Speaker 1: on horse on horses using brutal and inappropriate measures against

891
00:53:08,520 --> 00:53:13,480
Speaker 1: innocent people. We have a secure border. The border is

892
00:53:13,520 --> 00:53:17,960
Speaker 1: in fact secure. The border is closed. The border is secure,

893
00:53:18,120 --> 00:53:22,239
Speaker 1: The border is secure, the border is closed. We've been

894
00:53:22,320 --> 00:53:25,960
Speaker 1: unequivocal in that on the issue of Afghanistan, and to

895
00:53:26,080 --> 00:53:31,000
Speaker 1: that end we have seen a successful drawdown of the embassy.

896
00:53:31,160 --> 00:53:33,839
Speaker 1: I think it's irresponsible to say Americans are stranded. They're not.

897
00:53:34,000 --> 00:53:38,120
Speaker 1: This is Jim Crow on steroids what they're doing in Georgia.

898
00:53:38,160 --> 00:53:41,240
Speaker 1: This is all about keeping working folks and ordinary folks

899
00:53:41,239 --> 00:53:43,200
Speaker 1: that I grew up with from being able to vote.

900
00:53:43,200 --> 00:53:45,960
Speaker 1: The Reconciliation package would cost zero dollars. The cost of

901
00:53:46,000 --> 00:53:48,800
Speaker 1: these bills in terms of value that the death is zero.

902
00:53:49,120 --> 00:53:53,080
Speaker 1: Some have expressed publicly that they're not comfortable with three

903
00:53:53,120 --> 00:53:58,920
Speaker 1: point five, even though zero costs zero dollars, zero, zero, zero.

904
00:53:59,160 --> 00:54:02,719
Speaker 1: This bill is fully paid for and will not raise

905
00:54:02,760 --> 00:54:05,960
Speaker 1: taxes on anyone making less than four hundred thousand dollars

906
00:54:05,960 --> 00:54:08,200
Speaker 1: a year. Let me say that again, be crystal clear.

907
00:54:08,480 --> 00:54:12,960
Speaker 1: No one making less than four hundred thousand dollars year

908
00:54:12,960 --> 00:54:15,480
Speaker 1: will pay a single additional penny in tax for all

909
00:54:15,520 --> 00:54:18,040
Speaker 1: these things that are in the and the Build Back

910
00:54:18,120 --> 00:54:21,320
Speaker 1: Better plan. If you're a husband and wife, school teacher

911
00:54:21,719 --> 00:54:24,719
Speaker 1: and a cop, you're paying at a higher rate than

912
00:54:24,760 --> 00:54:27,399
Speaker 1: the average person making a billion dollars a year. Is

913
00:54:27,680 --> 00:54:30,799
Speaker 1: my plans do not add to inflationary pressure. To build

914
00:54:30,800 --> 00:54:33,959
Speaker 1: back better agenda will help reduce inflation, will help cut

915
00:54:34,000 --> 00:54:36,480
Speaker 1: costs for the American people. If we pass the other

916
00:54:36,520 --> 00:54:39,080
Speaker 1: two things I'm trying to get done, we will in

917
00:54:39,160 --> 00:54:42,839
Speaker 1: fact reduce inflation. Inflation is going to come down next year.

918
00:54:42,960 --> 00:54:46,319
Speaker 1: Inflation will come down next year. These inflation rises will

919
00:54:46,360 --> 00:54:48,640
Speaker 1: be transitory that they will come back down next year.

920
00:54:48,760 --> 00:54:52,120
Speaker 1: There's nobody suggesting the noun checked inflation on the way,

921
00:54:52,560 --> 00:54:55,120
Speaker 1: no serious economists. We know a lot of folks are

922
00:54:55,360 --> 00:54:59,160
Speaker 1: struggling with inflation driven by Putin's war in Ukraine and

923
00:54:59,200 --> 00:55:02,359
Speaker 1: the global pen the greed of meat conglomerates, you could

924
00:55:02,360 --> 00:55:05,160
Speaker 1: call it corporate greed. Short, you could call it jacking

925
00:55:05,239 --> 00:55:10,040
Speaker 1: up prices during a pandemic. Even if we drilled as

926
00:55:10,120 --> 00:55:13,839
Speaker 1: much as we could, the price of oil is still

927
00:55:13,880 --> 00:55:16,520
Speaker 1: set globally. There's no amount of domestic production we can

928
00:55:16,560 --> 00:55:20,200
Speaker 1: do to reduce or eliminate our vulnerability as a country

929
00:55:20,239 --> 00:55:22,640
Speaker 1: to that volatility. We brought down the cost of energy.

930
00:55:22,880 --> 00:55:26,040
Speaker 1: Wages have gone up higher faster than inflation. We have

931
00:55:26,080 --> 00:55:28,320
Speaker 1: a lower inflation rate than most any nation in the

932
00:55:28,800 --> 00:55:31,880
Speaker 1: other nation in the world. The idea that two quarters

933
00:55:31,880 --> 00:55:34,840
Speaker 1: of negative GDP growth is a technical definition of a

934
00:55:34,880 --> 00:55:38,600
Speaker 1: recession is wrong. I don't expect a recession right now.

935
00:55:38,800 --> 00:55:40,880
Speaker 1: We don't see a recession right now. That is not

936
00:55:41,000 --> 00:55:43,840
Speaker 1: We're not in a recession right now. Virtually nothing signals

937
00:55:43,920 --> 00:55:47,399
Speaker 1: that this period in the second quarter is recession. Are

938
00:55:48,840 --> 00:55:52,000
Speaker 1: pre recession now? What we have seen over the course

939
00:55:52,040 --> 00:55:54,640
Speaker 1: of the last year plus in the United States is

940
00:55:54,640 --> 00:55:58,480
Speaker 1: a historically strong economic recovery and that has been supported

941
00:55:58,480 --> 00:56:03,120
Speaker 1: by this president's economic center. Those are the lies. That's

942
00:56:03,160 --> 00:56:06,080
Speaker 1: what this election is clearly about. And this is what

943
00:56:06,160 --> 00:56:08,719
Speaker 1: people need to sit back and think about and tell

944
00:56:08,719 --> 00:56:11,759
Speaker 1: their family and friends before they head to the ballot box,

945
00:56:11,880 --> 00:56:13,839
Speaker 1: before they go and show up to vote, before you're

946
00:56:13,880 --> 00:56:17,080
Speaker 1: doing your early voting. They've been lying to you on

947
00:56:17,200 --> 00:56:20,000
Speaker 1: all of these issues. They're three more that were not

948
00:56:20,080 --> 00:56:22,799
Speaker 1: included there that are really striking. Number one, Kareem John

949
00:56:22,840 --> 00:56:26,120
Speaker 1: Pierre said from the podium at the White House, nobody

950
00:56:26,239 --> 00:56:28,799
Speaker 1: is walking across the border. That simply isn't happening. That's

951
00:56:28,800 --> 00:56:32,480
Speaker 1: a flat outlie. Number Two, Kareem John Pierre said, again

952
00:56:32,520 --> 00:56:34,120
Speaker 1: from the podium of the White House, said it was

953
00:56:34,160 --> 00:56:36,680
Speaker 1: Republicans who wanted to shut down schools and its Democrats

954
00:56:36,680 --> 00:56:39,279
Speaker 1: have been working to open schools, which is such a

955
00:56:39,560 --> 00:56:43,760
Speaker 1: brazen gas lighting monstrosity. It made you wonder if lightning

956
00:56:43,800 --> 00:56:46,040
Speaker 1: was going to strike her as she stood there. And

957
00:56:46,200 --> 00:56:49,480
Speaker 1: number three just last week Joe Biden, who gave a

958
00:56:49,520 --> 00:56:52,040
Speaker 1: speech I assume written in the speech where he says

959
00:56:52,360 --> 00:56:55,319
Speaker 1: I've brought down gas prices, and he said when I

960
00:56:55,400 --> 00:56:59,000
Speaker 1: became president, gas prices were five dollars a gallon. Now

961
00:56:59,040 --> 00:57:01,320
Speaker 1: they're three thirty eight. Of course, when he became president,

962
00:57:01,600 --> 00:57:05,680
Speaker 1: gas prices were two thirty eight, and the idea that

963
00:57:05,719 --> 00:57:09,320
Speaker 1: they were five bucks at gallen even for the world

964
00:57:09,440 --> 00:57:13,520
Speaker 1: of democrats lying with the corporate media helping them. I

965
00:57:13,560 --> 00:57:16,040
Speaker 1: don't know how every quote fact checker in America didn't

966
00:57:16,040 --> 00:57:18,920
Speaker 1: fact check them, but of course they didn't. Yeah, it's

967
00:57:18,960 --> 00:57:20,800
Speaker 1: gonna be fun to see how many of these videos

968
00:57:20,800 --> 00:57:22,920
Speaker 1: get put up on Twitter now with Musk owning it,

969
00:57:23,240 --> 00:57:25,800
Speaker 1: and they start actually at least fact checking them, because

970
00:57:25,800 --> 00:57:29,400
Speaker 1: we saw a presidential tweet had missing context for the

971
00:57:29,440 --> 00:57:32,439
Speaker 1: first time I think ever this past week, as Musk

972
00:57:32,520 --> 00:57:34,560
Speaker 1: has taken over, that's gonna be fun. One last thing

973
00:57:34,600 --> 00:57:37,880
Speaker 1: for everybody, I've got it. It's here. The book is out.

974
00:57:38,880 --> 00:57:41,800
Speaker 1: Grab it wherever you get your books. It's one hell

975
00:57:41,840 --> 00:57:43,640
Speaker 1: of a read center I've been reading. I was on

976
00:57:43,680 --> 00:57:46,160
Speaker 1: the plane back and reading this on our way back

977
00:57:46,160 --> 00:57:49,400
Speaker 1: from Nashville. I know you're excited about this book, and

978
00:57:49,520 --> 00:57:51,360
Speaker 1: tell people quickly what's in it so they know what

979
00:57:51,440 --> 00:57:54,800
Speaker 1: to expect. Look, Justice Corrupted, How the Left has weaponized

980
00:57:54,800 --> 00:57:58,800
Speaker 1: our legal system. It takes you inside to how Barack

981
00:57:58,840 --> 00:58:03,840
Speaker 1: Obama and now Joe Biden have weaponized the Department of Justice,

982
00:58:04,280 --> 00:58:08,520
Speaker 1: the FBI, the CIA, the irs, how they're using them

983
00:58:08,520 --> 00:58:11,600
Speaker 1: as political enforcers, how they're going after their enemies. And

984
00:58:11,720 --> 00:58:13,800
Speaker 1: what this book does. It's really the same thing that

985
00:58:14,160 --> 00:58:17,240
Speaker 1: this podcast does, which is that it tries to take

986
00:58:17,320 --> 00:58:20,200
Speaker 1: people behind the curtain. It tries to take people to

987
00:58:20,400 --> 00:58:23,680
Speaker 1: understand what's really going on, and it tells stories. I've

988
00:58:23,720 --> 00:58:28,040
Speaker 1: always found that, look, the human mind memory, that we

989
00:58:28,200 --> 00:58:31,560
Speaker 1: exist in a world of stories. And so the way

990
00:58:31,600 --> 00:58:34,280
Speaker 1: I like writing books is to tell stories of this

991
00:58:34,360 --> 00:58:37,760
Speaker 1: is what's really going on. So, for example, on January sixth,

992
00:58:38,320 --> 00:58:41,120
Speaker 1: this is the first inside account of what happened on

993
00:58:41,200 --> 00:58:43,880
Speaker 1: January sixth, where I was standing on the Senate floor

994
00:58:44,440 --> 00:58:47,680
Speaker 1: leading the Senate objection to certification of the election, calling

995
00:58:47,720 --> 00:58:51,200
Speaker 1: for an election Commission. I lay out all of the

996
00:58:51,240 --> 00:58:53,760
Speaker 1: allegations of voter fraud. I lay out and explain the

997
00:58:53,760 --> 00:58:58,720
Speaker 1: different legal proceedings that were ongoing. I describe how President

998
00:58:58,760 --> 00:59:02,240
Speaker 1: Trump called and peronally asked me to argue the US

999
00:59:02,320 --> 00:59:04,600
Speaker 1: Supreme Court case if the court had taken that case,

1000
00:59:04,640 --> 00:59:07,439
Speaker 1: and I agreed to do so. And you know, really,

1001
00:59:07,440 --> 00:59:11,960
Speaker 1: what this book is about is when you're talking to

1002
00:59:12,000 --> 00:59:14,200
Speaker 1: your friends, when you're talking to your family, when you're

1003
00:59:14,200 --> 00:59:16,800
Speaker 1: talking to your co workers, and all of these issues

1004
00:59:16,840 --> 00:59:19,440
Speaker 1: come up. Whether it is vote or fraud, whether it

1005
00:59:19,600 --> 00:59:24,400
Speaker 1: is election integrity, whether it is crime and violence, whether

1006
00:59:24,480 --> 00:59:27,640
Speaker 1: it is Black Lives Matter and Antifa riots, whether it

1007
00:59:27,680 --> 00:59:31,120
Speaker 1: is George Soros prosecutors, whether it is affirmative action, whether

1008
00:59:31,160 --> 00:59:34,040
Speaker 1: it is the FBI rating President Trump's home, the FBI

1009
00:59:34,160 --> 00:59:37,760
Speaker 1: rating pro life activists, all of whether it is critical

1010
00:59:37,840 --> 00:59:40,040
Speaker 1: race theory. We've got chapters in the book on every

1011
00:59:40,040 --> 00:59:42,720
Speaker 1: one of those things that I just said. This book

1012
00:59:42,840 --> 00:59:44,880
Speaker 1: is designed to give you the facts, to give you

1013
00:59:44,920 --> 00:59:47,920
Speaker 1: the information so that when you're talking to your friends

1014
00:59:47,920 --> 00:59:51,240
Speaker 1: and families, you can know the truth and explain it

1015
00:59:51,280 --> 00:59:54,240
Speaker 1: to them, because most of them are listening to the

1016
00:59:54,320 --> 00:59:57,160
Speaker 1: lie in corporate media and So this is this book

1017
00:59:57,240 --> 01:00:01,280
Speaker 1: is really a toolkit to prepare you to I'll pull
