1
00:00:00,360 --> 00:00:03,480
Speaker 1: Welcome back in Clay Travis Buck Sexton Show. Appreciate all

2
00:00:03,480 --> 00:00:05,640
Speaker 1: of you hanging out with us. Buck is in our

3
00:00:05,720 --> 00:00:08,039
Speaker 1: Miami affiliate studios. We want to thank all of you.

4
00:00:08,080 --> 00:00:11,080
Speaker 1: By the way, in South Florida, ratings have tripled in

5
00:00:11,240 --> 00:00:14,760
Speaker 1: the Miami area since Buck officially made his move from

6
00:00:14,800 --> 00:00:18,080
Speaker 1: New York City to Miami. I'll give him credit. Senator Scott,

7
00:00:18,120 --> 00:00:21,799
Speaker 1: that's good for you because we're also rolling in Tampa Center.

8
00:00:21,880 --> 00:00:23,760
Speaker 1: Rubio in there with us as well, and I know

9
00:00:23,800 --> 00:00:27,080
Speaker 1: we helped in twenty twenty two with your re election. Senator,

10
00:00:27,080 --> 00:00:30,480
Speaker 1: thanks to all the listeners out there that are active

11
00:00:31,000 --> 00:00:33,120
Speaker 1: in making sure they get out to vote. And Senator Scott,

12
00:00:33,159 --> 00:00:36,000
Speaker 1: since you're up for reelection here in fifteen days officially

13
00:00:36,080 --> 00:00:39,479
Speaker 1: election day, I want you to make the direct case

14
00:00:39,520 --> 00:00:41,320
Speaker 1: because we have a lot of people out there listening

15
00:00:41,400 --> 00:00:43,839
Speaker 1: who say, you know, typically I have been an election

16
00:00:44,000 --> 00:00:46,880
Speaker 1: day voter, and Buck and I both have typically been

17
00:00:47,120 --> 00:00:49,800
Speaker 1: election day voters. I went on Friday, He's going to

18
00:00:49,880 --> 00:00:53,160
Speaker 1: try to go today. I've been persuaded by the data

19
00:00:53,240 --> 00:00:56,680
Speaker 1: and analytics crew out there that if we vote early,

20
00:00:56,960 --> 00:01:00,279
Speaker 1: it actually helps the Republican ticket in a massive way

21
00:01:00,560 --> 00:01:04,160
Speaker 1: be able to focus on non traditional voters, people who

22
00:01:04,200 --> 00:01:06,600
Speaker 1: haven't gone to the poll yet. But I want to

23
00:01:06,600 --> 00:01:08,840
Speaker 1: hear from you because I know you're really plugged in

24
00:01:08,880 --> 00:01:12,080
Speaker 1: on the analytics side. Senator Scott, what is the advantage

25
00:01:12,080 --> 00:01:14,600
Speaker 1: in Florida but also all over the country now with

26
00:01:14,680 --> 00:01:16,039
Speaker 1: early voting underway?

27
00:01:16,319 --> 00:01:16,840
Speaker 2: If you're a.

28
00:01:16,840 --> 00:01:19,920
Speaker 1: Diehard Trump voter, diehard Republican, what is the party gain?

29
00:01:20,000 --> 00:01:22,119
Speaker 1: What is Trump gained by you going to the polls early?

30
00:01:23,319 --> 00:01:26,080
Speaker 3: Well, in Florida you can vote by mail, and so

31
00:01:26,080 --> 00:01:27,720
Speaker 3: if you've gotten your mail in ballot, we once you

32
00:01:27,800 --> 00:01:31,360
Speaker 3: get it in today in most counties we start with

33
00:01:31,440 --> 00:01:33,600
Speaker 3: early voting. I voted this morning with my wife and

34
00:01:33,680 --> 00:01:36,040
Speaker 3: Speaker Gangridge and his wife came with us. We voted

35
00:01:36,040 --> 00:01:39,360
Speaker 3: over Naples and it was good. There was good lines there.

36
00:01:40,040 --> 00:01:41,839
Speaker 3: But again, you can vote on election day. But here's

37
00:01:41,840 --> 00:01:44,840
Speaker 3: the problem, especially this year. Look at these storms we've had,

38
00:01:45,440 --> 00:01:49,160
Speaker 3: and what if we have another storm November fourth, what's

39
00:01:49,200 --> 00:01:49,680
Speaker 3: going to happen?

40
00:01:49,760 --> 00:01:50,960
Speaker 2: You don't want to take a chance.

41
00:01:51,480 --> 00:01:53,600
Speaker 3: Then, on top of that, if you think of what

42
00:01:53,640 --> 00:01:57,080
Speaker 3: we do, what our county parties do, what we do,

43
00:01:57,240 --> 00:01:59,560
Speaker 3: what the national party does, all of us the Trump

44
00:01:59,600 --> 00:02:02,000
Speaker 3: team are our team? Is we go make sure our

45
00:02:02,120 --> 00:02:05,800
Speaker 3: voters show up. Just put that in perspective. In twenty eighteen,

46
00:02:05,880 --> 00:02:08,400
Speaker 3: I'm the only Republican that won in the swing state

47
00:02:08,480 --> 00:02:10,520
Speaker 3: in the Senate in the country. I had to get

48
00:02:10,560 --> 00:02:12,400
Speaker 3: more votes than Ted Cruz had to get to win

49
00:02:12,440 --> 00:02:16,160
Speaker 3: in Texas that year. So we won because we went

50
00:02:16,200 --> 00:02:19,400
Speaker 3: out and we focused on getting our votes in. And

51
00:02:19,440 --> 00:02:21,640
Speaker 3: so the earlier you can do it, there's fewer votes

52
00:02:21,720 --> 00:02:23,040
Speaker 3: we have to worry about. So if you can get

53
00:02:23,040 --> 00:02:25,320
Speaker 3: your mail in ballot in now, if you can get

54
00:02:25,520 --> 00:02:27,680
Speaker 3: you can go to day and go early vote. The

55
00:02:27,800 --> 00:02:30,040
Speaker 3: earliest you can do this, then we'll focus on the

56
00:02:30,040 --> 00:02:32,520
Speaker 3: people that haven't voted yet because we've got to get

57
00:02:32,520 --> 00:02:35,040
Speaker 3: these votes in. And if you want President Trump to win,

58
00:02:35,320 --> 00:02:37,920
Speaker 3: you win in every state. If you want me to

59
00:02:37,960 --> 00:02:41,240
Speaker 3: win in Florida, then you win in every local race,

60
00:02:41,400 --> 00:02:45,000
Speaker 3: every county commission race, every mayor's race, every school board race.

61
00:02:45,200 --> 00:02:47,880
Speaker 3: You want to win all those, So maximize all the votes.

62
00:02:48,520 --> 00:02:51,200
Speaker 3: Senator Scott, thanks for being here. Home states.

63
00:02:51,240 --> 00:02:53,440
Speaker 4: I've got both my home state senators here in the room,

64
00:02:53,440 --> 00:02:58,400
Speaker 4: which is exciting. But as a Florida transplant, somebody came

65
00:02:58,400 --> 00:03:00,440
Speaker 4: from New York City, felt like I was part of

66
00:03:00,480 --> 00:03:04,120
Speaker 4: the Red Wave, the Desantist revolution, whatever you want to

67
00:03:04,120 --> 00:03:07,760
Speaker 4: call it. And now we've got much better GOP registration

68
00:03:08,000 --> 00:03:09,720
Speaker 4: in the state than we did before. I don't even

69
00:03:09,720 --> 00:03:11,040
Speaker 4: know what the latest number is. I know what was

70
00:03:11,040 --> 00:03:15,120
Speaker 4: it. It was two hundred fifty thousand plus for Democrats, and

71
00:03:15,200 --> 00:03:17,520
Speaker 4: then it starting in twenty eighteen, right and by now

72
00:03:17,520 --> 00:03:19,279
Speaker 4: it's what is it, a million more Republicans.

73
00:03:20,800 --> 00:03:24,399
Speaker 3: When twenty ten, when Marco went one his sit race,

74
00:03:24,440 --> 00:03:26,520
Speaker 3: when I won my governor's race, there are five hundred

75
00:03:26,480 --> 00:03:30,040
Speaker 3: and sixty thousand more Democrats and Republicans. So we've been

76
00:03:30,040 --> 00:03:32,880
Speaker 3: able to pick up every every year since then, and

77
00:03:32,960 --> 00:03:34,760
Speaker 3: now we have over a million Republicans.

78
00:03:34,800 --> 00:03:36,040
Speaker 2: But that's that's the positive part.

79
00:03:36,120 --> 00:03:38,520
Speaker 3: Then we got to get our votes out and as

80
00:03:39,400 --> 00:03:41,480
Speaker 3: I think Market was saying earlier, you know, we had

81
00:03:41,520 --> 00:03:43,560
Speaker 3: horrible storms on the West coast, a lot of you know,

82
00:03:43,600 --> 00:03:44,480
Speaker 3: are these people going to be.

83
00:03:44,440 --> 00:03:45,080
Speaker 2: Able to vote.

84
00:03:45,120 --> 00:03:48,240
Speaker 3: They've lost their homes, they might have had to move

85
00:03:48,280 --> 00:03:50,080
Speaker 3: out of the state to you know, find find a

86
00:03:50,120 --> 00:03:52,400
Speaker 3: place to live. So we've got to work on getting

87
00:03:52,440 --> 00:03:54,560
Speaker 3: everybody that's here. We've got to get you to vote

88
00:03:54,600 --> 00:03:56,280
Speaker 3: if you want to if you want to vote, by mail.

89
00:03:56,280 --> 00:03:58,000
Speaker 3: You can still ask for a mail in ballot by

90
00:03:58,040 --> 00:04:00,000
Speaker 3: the twenty fourth, so you've got a couple of days

91
00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:02,200
Speaker 3: to do that if you're happy to be out of

92
00:04:02,240 --> 00:04:04,000
Speaker 3: the state. But we've got to get the votes in

93
00:04:04,040 --> 00:04:04,880
Speaker 3: as early as we can.

94
00:04:05,320 --> 00:04:08,000
Speaker 4: So getting those early votes in is absolutely critical take

95
00:04:08,040 --> 00:04:10,160
Speaker 4: us through this though. One thing, as we've talked to

96
00:04:10,360 --> 00:04:15,160
Speaker 4: various battleground state senators that's been really interesting. We talked

97
00:04:15,160 --> 00:04:17,760
Speaker 4: people from Wisconsin, We talked to Hubban Wisconsin, We'll talk

98
00:04:17,800 --> 00:04:22,039
Speaker 4: to Shihi in Montana and others. They tell us that

99
00:04:22,080 --> 00:04:25,280
Speaker 4: the Democrat game is essentially raise a lot of money

100
00:04:25,320 --> 00:04:29,039
Speaker 4: out of state, rely on the unfortunately state media to

101
00:04:29,200 --> 00:04:31,480
Speaker 4: trash the Republican candidate and give them a lot of

102
00:04:31,640 --> 00:04:35,240
Speaker 4: free you know, basically free in kind campaign contributions with that,

103
00:04:35,640 --> 00:04:38,280
Speaker 4: and then the candidate plays this game of well, I'm

104
00:04:38,320 --> 00:04:41,200
Speaker 4: a Democrat, but I'm my own Democrat. I'm not going

105
00:04:41,240 --> 00:04:43,760
Speaker 4: to do what Chuck Schumer says, I'm almost an independent.

106
00:04:44,320 --> 00:04:46,200
Speaker 4: Is that what's playing out here in Florida? Because I

107
00:04:46,240 --> 00:04:49,000
Speaker 4: just can't imagine, given all the trends of the last

108
00:04:49,080 --> 00:04:51,880
Speaker 4: few years, that anybody would be like, you know what,

109
00:04:52,000 --> 00:04:55,160
Speaker 4: let's mess up the Florida revolution right now and put

110
00:04:55,160 --> 00:04:57,400
Speaker 4: a Democrat in office who's going to turn back all

111
00:04:57,440 --> 00:05:00,479
Speaker 4: the great things that have undeniably been happening.

112
00:05:00,640 --> 00:05:03,520
Speaker 3: Well, first off, if you if any Democrats elected does

113
00:05:03,640 --> 00:05:06,880
Speaker 3: vote for whatever Schumer tells them vote, That's how they vote.

114
00:05:06,920 --> 00:05:09,440
Speaker 3: There's no way independent vote there with Chuck Schumer, that's

115
00:05:09,480 --> 00:05:12,320
Speaker 3: how you vote. That's number one. Number two is he's

116
00:05:12,440 --> 00:05:14,560
Speaker 3: raised a lot of money. He's spending money in Florida.

117
00:05:14,880 --> 00:05:17,600
Speaker 3: He's spending money in a lot of states where one

118
00:05:17,680 --> 00:05:20,760
Speaker 3: we're defending, like Ted Cruz not today. They're spending money

119
00:05:20,760 --> 00:05:22,800
Speaker 3: in Ted Cruz's race, he's spending money in my race.

120
00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:25,320
Speaker 3: He's spending money of course, a lot of money on

121
00:05:25,480 --> 00:05:28,120
Speaker 3: Sheihi and Moreno, all these places where we can pick up.

122
00:05:28,560 --> 00:05:30,560
Speaker 3: So they've got a lot of money and they're spending it.

123
00:05:31,360 --> 00:05:33,960
Speaker 3: So and then the media doesn't help us. I mean,

124
00:05:34,000 --> 00:05:36,840
Speaker 3: they're not our friends as a general rule, They're not

125
00:05:36,920 --> 00:05:40,039
Speaker 3: all like you guys, So they're out. It's like a

126
00:05:40,080 --> 00:05:41,320
Speaker 3: free ad for them all the time.

127
00:05:42,400 --> 00:05:43,040
Speaker 2: Center Scott.

128
00:05:43,080 --> 00:05:45,640
Speaker 1: When you look at the impact of Milton and I

129
00:05:45,640 --> 00:05:48,920
Speaker 1: know a lot of people are still recovering there, we're

130
00:05:48,960 --> 00:05:50,920
Speaker 1: going to talk. We have been talking a lot. Trump

131
00:05:50,960 --> 00:05:54,160
Speaker 1: is in Asheville today dealing with the fallout of Hurricane Helene.

132
00:05:54,440 --> 00:05:56,720
Speaker 1: Are you comfortable that things are moving in a good

133
00:05:56,720 --> 00:06:00,600
Speaker 1: way in terms of recovery in Florida, specifically with Hurricane

134
00:06:00,640 --> 00:06:03,560
Speaker 1: Milton and also Hurricane Helene when it came through. And

135
00:06:03,640 --> 00:06:05,520
Speaker 1: are you confident that people are going to be able

136
00:06:05,560 --> 00:06:07,560
Speaker 1: to get to the polls in Florida and that the

137
00:06:07,640 --> 00:06:11,160
Speaker 1: hurricanes are not going to impact turn out in a

138
00:06:11,200 --> 00:06:13,920
Speaker 1: substantial way. We get asked this question a lot from

139
00:06:13,920 --> 00:06:16,560
Speaker 1: people outside of the region about how the impact on

140
00:06:16,680 --> 00:06:17,719
Speaker 1: voting is likely to be.

141
00:06:17,800 --> 00:06:18,920
Speaker 2: What are you seeing there?

142
00:06:19,800 --> 00:06:23,760
Speaker 3: Well, in twenty eighteen, three weeks before my election in

143
00:06:23,760 --> 00:06:26,719
Speaker 3: the Senate, we had Hurricane the Panhandle, and the estimate

144
00:06:26,920 --> 00:06:29,640
Speaker 3: is I lost about net twenty five thousand votes, and

145
00:06:29,640 --> 00:06:31,800
Speaker 3: that was a close elections that really mattered.

146
00:06:32,480 --> 00:06:33,280
Speaker 2: It's going to be hard.

147
00:06:33,760 --> 00:06:36,839
Speaker 3: We've got really good supervisor elections, and really what matters

148
00:06:36,839 --> 00:06:41,360
Speaker 3: in Florida is the supervisor election per county. So they're

149
00:06:41,440 --> 00:06:47,520
Speaker 3: having to change voting places. The governor has allowed them

150
00:06:47,600 --> 00:06:50,280
Speaker 3: to make some changes to make it easier for people

151
00:06:50,320 --> 00:06:53,440
Speaker 3: get to the polls. But if your house is destroyed

152
00:06:53,960 --> 00:06:57,480
Speaker 3: and you're in some other state. The first thing you're

153
00:06:57,520 --> 00:06:58,919
Speaker 3: not thinking about is, boy, I got to get that

154
00:06:59,040 --> 00:07:02,839
Speaker 3: vote in. So it's gonna be We've got to maximize

155
00:07:02,839 --> 00:07:05,560
Speaker 3: our Republican vote because we have a lot of good

156
00:07:05,560 --> 00:07:09,440
Speaker 3: people that have just been devastated. Everybody's working hard. I

157
00:07:09,440 --> 00:07:12,680
Speaker 3: mean the counties, the cities, the state, the federal government.

158
00:07:12,920 --> 00:07:15,160
Speaker 3: They're working to, you know, to solve some of these problems.

159
00:07:15,200 --> 00:07:18,440
Speaker 3: But it's it's your life. It's how's your house doing

160
00:07:18,440 --> 00:07:20,120
Speaker 3: this morning? I got I got called by a friend

161
00:07:20,160 --> 00:07:22,840
Speaker 3: this morning. I can't find a contractor. He's from out

162
00:07:22,840 --> 00:07:25,440
Speaker 3: of state. So it's it's a tough time for people

163
00:07:25,440 --> 00:07:26,200
Speaker 3: in the West Coast.

164
00:07:26,760 --> 00:07:29,400
Speaker 1: Buck is in South Florida. There's going to be a

165
00:07:29,480 --> 00:07:32,560
Speaker 1: massive influx of voters there. I have a place on

166
00:07:32,600 --> 00:07:35,920
Speaker 1: the Panhandle of Florida. I absolutely love it on thirty

167
00:07:35,920 --> 00:07:39,880
Speaker 1: A for people out there between Destined and in Panama

168
00:07:39,960 --> 00:07:40,400
Speaker 1: City Beach.

169
00:07:40,440 --> 00:07:41,600
Speaker 2: It is a beautiful area.

170
00:07:42,040 --> 00:07:44,400
Speaker 1: You mentioned that the hurricane that hit there impacted your

171
00:07:44,400 --> 00:07:46,800
Speaker 1: election in a big way in twenty eighteen. I'm actually

172
00:07:46,840 --> 00:07:49,960
Speaker 1: curious because I'm seeing a lot of people moving into

173
00:07:50,040 --> 00:07:53,680
Speaker 1: that area of Florida, the Panhandle, and that has traditionally

174
00:07:53,720 --> 00:07:56,840
Speaker 1: been the deepest red part of the state of Florida.

175
00:07:57,040 --> 00:07:58,360
Speaker 2: Is that still true?

176
00:07:58,520 --> 00:08:01,600
Speaker 1: Are you guys optimistic that that those numbers are going

177
00:08:01,680 --> 00:08:04,120
Speaker 1: to continue to grow in a big way in the Panhandle?

178
00:08:04,440 --> 00:08:04,600
Speaker 5: Uh?

179
00:08:04,680 --> 00:08:07,120
Speaker 1: Six years later, I would imagine there's been tens of

180
00:08:07,160 --> 00:08:10,160
Speaker 1: thousands of votes added for Republicans just in that region

181
00:08:10,200 --> 00:08:12,520
Speaker 1: of the country of your state alone.

182
00:08:12,600 --> 00:08:15,080
Speaker 3: If for Marco and me, if the electure is only

183
00:08:15,120 --> 00:08:18,200
Speaker 3: in the Panhandle, it'd be pretty easy. So we're gonna

184
00:08:18,240 --> 00:08:21,560
Speaker 3: we're gonna have big numbers. I was campaigning in Panama City,

185
00:08:21,600 --> 00:08:25,920
Speaker 3: in Santa Rosa, and in uh Pittsacola on Saturday and

186
00:08:26,240 --> 00:08:28,640
Speaker 3: the But but you know, we've got it. We got

187
00:08:28,640 --> 00:08:31,560
Speaker 3: to you know, go go and go all across the state.

188
00:08:31,560 --> 00:08:33,720
Speaker 3: And we've got a great it's a great melting pot.

189
00:08:33,760 --> 00:08:35,880
Speaker 3: So we've got it. We've got a big, you know,

190
00:08:36,280 --> 00:08:39,000
Speaker 3: great population is going to vote for us of the Panhandle.

191
00:08:39,040 --> 00:08:40,760
Speaker 3: But you know, we're gonna win the Cuban vote, the

192
00:08:40,760 --> 00:08:42,760
Speaker 3: Puerto Rican vote, the Haitian vote, We're gonna win all

193
00:08:42,800 --> 00:08:45,920
Speaker 3: these votes because what they're seeing with both uh Marco

194
00:08:46,000 --> 00:08:48,360
Speaker 3: Rubio and me is that we represent them, we take

195
00:08:48,400 --> 00:08:50,760
Speaker 3: care of their issue. So look, if we get a

196
00:08:50,840 --> 00:08:52,199
Speaker 3: vote in. We're gonna have a nice win, but we

197
00:08:52,280 --> 00:08:55,079
Speaker 3: got to get this vote in. Speaking of Senator Rick

198
00:08:55,120 --> 00:08:57,840
Speaker 3: Scott of Florida, here, he's with me in studio in

199
00:08:58,000 --> 00:09:01,960
Speaker 3: South Florida, along with Senators Cotton and Rubio. So it's

200
00:09:01,960 --> 00:09:04,839
Speaker 3: a Senate party in here. It's good times. We're enjoying ourselves.

201
00:09:05,679 --> 00:09:08,040
Speaker 3: Can you speak to uh, Senator Scott.

202
00:09:08,120 --> 00:09:11,000
Speaker 4: The just the weekend with Trump, I mean being at

203
00:09:11,080 --> 00:09:14,080
Speaker 4: McDonald's doing his thing, all the photos, all the fun.

204
00:09:14,160 --> 00:09:17,680
Speaker 6: I mean, how is that going for him? You think?

205
00:09:17,720 --> 00:09:20,839
Speaker 4: And also what are the ramifications of Trump's campaign and

206
00:09:21,120 --> 00:09:23,560
Speaker 4: the second order effects of Trump's campaign for you down

207
00:09:23,559 --> 00:09:25,080
Speaker 4: here in this great Sunshine state.

208
00:09:25,400 --> 00:09:28,320
Speaker 3: You know, my one of my first hourly jobs, I

209
00:09:28,360 --> 00:09:30,200
Speaker 3: was paid eighty five cents an hours for fry cook

210
00:09:30,280 --> 00:09:31,559
Speaker 3: not at McDonald's.

211
00:09:31,600 --> 00:09:34,120
Speaker 2: Not that nice, were you?

212
00:09:34,160 --> 00:09:35,520
Speaker 6: Were you good man in the fry station?

213
00:09:35,640 --> 00:09:36,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, how you assessed?

214
00:09:36,960 --> 00:09:44,120
Speaker 3: Nobody Nobody nobody sent their burgers back that I remember that,

215
00:09:44,200 --> 00:09:46,439
Speaker 3: I remember, And nobody set their fries back. People love

216
00:09:46,720 --> 00:09:48,240
Speaker 3: you just got to give them extra fries. But I

217
00:09:48,280 --> 00:09:50,400
Speaker 3: feel like that's the secret. Trump actually did that over

218
00:09:50,400 --> 00:09:51,720
Speaker 3: the weekend. He's like, I'm gonna give them a little

219
00:09:51,760 --> 00:09:54,079
Speaker 3: extra when the fries are falling out. You know they

220
00:09:54,120 --> 00:09:55,840
Speaker 3: do this at five guys, that's when.

221
00:09:55,720 --> 00:09:59,600
Speaker 4: People are amazing. I'm surely really healthy. Thing your hand cut.

222
00:09:59,679 --> 00:10:02,000
Speaker 4: Maybe they're maybe a little better than McDonald's rises. In

223
00:10:02,040 --> 00:10:04,600
Speaker 4: my opinion, Trump Trumps run the great race. I mean,

224
00:10:04,640 --> 00:10:07,400
Speaker 4: if you, I mean, look at it just showed. I mean,

225
00:10:07,600 --> 00:10:11,400
Speaker 4: Harris has no background in solving any of these problems,

226
00:10:11,440 --> 00:10:13,320
Speaker 4: doesn't have the back as just been as a government

227
00:10:13,320 --> 00:10:15,839
Speaker 4: worker all of her life. So no, Trumps run the

228
00:10:15,840 --> 00:10:17,839
Speaker 4: great campaign. He's got a lot of energy. There's a

229
00:10:17,880 --> 00:10:20,360
Speaker 4: lot of energy in Florida. So I've been in every

230
00:10:20,360 --> 00:10:22,920
Speaker 4: county multiple times. There is so much energy for Donald

231
00:10:22,960 --> 00:10:25,040
Speaker 4: Trump in this state. And I assume that's true all

232
00:10:25,040 --> 00:10:28,280
Speaker 4: across the country because they know he'll make a big change.

233
00:10:29,000 --> 00:10:32,040
Speaker 1: We come back, we'll talk more with the senators in office.

234
00:10:32,559 --> 00:10:35,319
Speaker 1: Down there in the studio with Buck, but I want

235
00:10:35,320 --> 00:10:39,800
Speaker 1: to tell you it's fall and Buck, I was up

236
00:10:39,880 --> 00:10:44,120
Speaker 1: watching America's team, the University of Tennessee volunteers take down

237
00:10:44,520 --> 00:10:48,280
Speaker 1: the hated Alabama Crimson Todd. By the way, sorry Birmingham

238
00:10:48,320 --> 00:10:51,559
Speaker 1: for breaking your your beautiful morning and then the early

239
00:10:51,600 --> 00:10:56,080
Speaker 1: start of your day. But as I'm driving through East Tennessee.

240
00:10:56,480 --> 00:10:59,680
Speaker 1: Leaves are changing colors, and the leaves are starting to

241
00:10:59,720 --> 00:11:03,040
Speaker 1: fall all over the country. And if you're like me

242
00:11:03,280 --> 00:11:05,680
Speaker 1: and you got kids running around in your backyard, sometimes

243
00:11:05,679 --> 00:11:08,080
Speaker 1: woofleballs end up in the gutters. You combine that with

244
00:11:08,160 --> 00:11:11,600
Speaker 1: the leaves when the storms come in. My gutters aren't

245
00:11:11,640 --> 00:11:15,800
Speaker 1: necessarily standing up like they should because they're so clogged.

246
00:11:15,920 --> 00:11:18,960
Speaker 1: And right now, the only thing more annoying than leaf

247
00:11:19,000 --> 00:11:22,960
Speaker 1: blowers going off at seven am, which happened again. I

248
00:11:23,000 --> 00:11:25,560
Speaker 1: don't know if I'm being trolled by some left wing

249
00:11:25,720 --> 00:11:28,800
Speaker 1: leaf blower in my neighborhood, but they are just decided.

250
00:11:28,800 --> 00:11:30,600
Speaker 1: I don't even know how there's that many leaves that

251
00:11:30,640 --> 00:11:32,760
Speaker 1: could need to be blown in close proximity of my

252
00:11:32,880 --> 00:11:34,200
Speaker 1: house early in the morning.

253
00:11:34,480 --> 00:11:35,720
Speaker 2: Leaf blowing is awful.

254
00:11:36,000 --> 00:11:38,160
Speaker 1: Worse than leaf blowing, though, having to get on a

255
00:11:38,200 --> 00:11:40,839
Speaker 1: ladder and clean out those gutters, because those ladders you

256
00:11:40,840 --> 00:11:43,080
Speaker 1: get up pretty high a little bit, they're wobbly, doesn't

257
00:11:43,120 --> 00:11:45,880
Speaker 1: feel great. How about getting leaf filter hooked up? They

00:12:42,640 --> 00:12:45,760
Speaker 4: Rick Scott with us, and we've got our two Florida

Speaker 4: Clay on the hot seat now with a center Rubyo,

277
00:12:51,640 --> 00:12:53,640
Speaker 4: appreciate you making the time for us.

278
00:12:54,200 --> 00:12:54,920
Speaker 6: Let's start with this.

279
00:12:55,200 --> 00:12:57,200
Speaker 4: I want to bring it into the Senate race and

280
00:12:57,240 --> 00:12:59,120
Speaker 4: also what we're seeing here in Florida in a moment,

281
00:12:59,200 --> 00:13:03,080
Speaker 4: but at the at the thirty thousand foot level. New

282
00:13:03,160 --> 00:13:06,600
Speaker 4: York Times covered today inside or website at least main

283
00:13:06,679 --> 00:13:10,400
Speaker 4: story inside the last ditch hunt by Harris and Trump

284
00:13:10,480 --> 00:13:14,360
Speaker 4: for undecided voters. How do you see the final weeks

285
00:13:14,520 --> 00:13:16,959
Speaker 4: of the Harris campaign playing out? And we talked a

286
00:13:16,960 --> 00:13:19,160
Speaker 4: little bit about McDonald's and Trump, and it feels like

287
00:13:19,400 --> 00:13:21,679
Speaker 4: there's a lot of enthusiasm and a lot of excitement.

288
00:13:22,000 --> 00:13:23,840
Speaker 4: What are you seeing from the Harris side of things?

289
00:13:24,040 --> 00:13:26,079
Speaker 9: Yeah, I think that they're trying to figure out their

290
00:13:26,080 --> 00:13:27,959
Speaker 9: formula to win at this point. You know, she hasn't

291
00:13:28,000 --> 00:13:29,880
Speaker 9: had the advantage. She had the advantage of this switch

292
00:13:29,920 --> 00:13:33,000
Speaker 9: out that they did last minute, something new. They got

293
00:13:33,040 --> 00:13:34,360
Speaker 9: a little bit of a bump from that in terms

294
00:13:34,400 --> 00:13:36,480
Speaker 9: of coverage. That's all settled away, and I think now

295
00:13:36,559 --> 00:13:38,760
Speaker 9: voters have become more familiar and the fundamental question that

296
00:13:38,760 --> 00:13:40,920
Speaker 9: people have to ask themselves is, and she hasn't not

297
00:13:40,960 --> 00:13:43,360
Speaker 9: been able to answer, is how is she any different

298
00:13:43,720 --> 00:13:46,680
Speaker 9: than Joe Biden? And in fact, she refused to distance

299
00:13:46,679 --> 00:13:48,920
Speaker 9: herself from any of the decisions he made as president.

300
00:13:49,320 --> 00:13:52,160
Speaker 9: So she is a continuation of the policies of the

301
00:13:52,160 --> 00:13:54,040
Speaker 9: guy who was going to get smashed. And I think

302
00:13:54,080 --> 00:13:55,920
Speaker 9: people have come to the realization This is not some

303
00:13:56,160 --> 00:13:58,400
Speaker 9: you know, Kamala Harris wasn't born on July twenty fourth.

304
00:13:58,440 --> 00:14:00,520
Speaker 9: I mean she had been around, She'd been the president

305
00:14:00,520 --> 00:14:02,520
Speaker 9: and a senator, had a record in the Senate, and

306
00:14:02,559 --> 00:14:04,600
Speaker 9: a record is a candidate for president that she has

307
00:14:04,640 --> 00:14:06,559
Speaker 9: to answer for. And I think that's what the last

308
00:14:06,600 --> 00:14:08,760
Speaker 9: few weeks have really revealed to a lot of voters,

309
00:14:09,040 --> 00:14:11,319
Speaker 9: and it's why I think her path to victory continues

310
00:14:11,320 --> 00:14:13,800
Speaker 9: to narrow. And I want to say about the Senate races,

311
00:14:14,520 --> 00:14:16,640
Speaker 9: it really makes no sense to vote for Donald Trump

312
00:14:16,640 --> 00:14:19,760
Speaker 9: and not vote for a Republican for Senate in your state,

313
00:14:20,200 --> 00:14:22,600
Speaker 9: because if you if we don't have the majority in

314
00:14:22,640 --> 00:14:25,120
Speaker 9: the Senate and he gets elected president, won't he won't

315
00:14:25,120 --> 00:14:26,960
Speaker 9: get a single person conframe, won't pay to put his

316
00:14:26,960 --> 00:14:29,400
Speaker 9: team together, he won't be able to do anything. They'll

317
00:14:29,400 --> 00:14:29,960
Speaker 9: tie him up.

318
00:14:29,960 --> 00:14:32,400
Speaker 6: For you. You think they'll just be absolute obstruction.

319
00:14:33,200 --> 00:14:33,520
Speaker 2: He won't.

320
00:14:33,760 --> 00:14:35,280
Speaker 9: Not only that, if they have the House, they'll try

321
00:14:35,280 --> 00:14:40,200
Speaker 9: to impeach him again, definitely. So that's the view of

322
00:14:40,520 --> 00:14:43,520
Speaker 9: the If we don't have the Senate, he will not

323
00:14:43,600 --> 00:14:45,280
Speaker 9: be able to do any of the things he wants

324
00:14:45,320 --> 00:14:48,000
Speaker 9: to do beyond what he can do from an executive role.

325
00:14:48,280 --> 00:14:50,040
Speaker 9: They will tie him up. They won't even let him

326
00:14:50,080 --> 00:14:53,520
Speaker 9: bring people onto his cabin or his team. So if

327
00:14:53,560 --> 00:14:55,360
Speaker 9: you're going to vote for Donald Trump, you better vote

328
00:14:55,400 --> 00:14:57,840
Speaker 9: for the Republican for Senate in your state or or

329
00:14:57,840 --> 00:14:59,840
Speaker 9: you're wasting your vote in many ways. And I hope

330
00:14:59,880 --> 00:15:01,480
Speaker 9: he people will do both and not stay home.

331
00:15:02,120 --> 00:15:05,440
Speaker 1: Senator Rubio, you guys are down in Miami area right now.

332
00:15:06,440 --> 00:15:10,280
Speaker 1: You've seen a massive growth in Republican support. You've lived

333
00:15:10,280 --> 00:15:12,720
Speaker 1: in the South Florida area for a long time now,

334
00:15:12,760 --> 00:15:15,880
Speaker 1: A couple of questions, do you think Trump can win

335
00:15:16,400 --> 00:15:19,840
Speaker 1: Dade County, which would be a major and Senator.

336
00:15:19,520 --> 00:15:20,320
Speaker 2: Scott as well?

337
00:15:20,800 --> 00:15:24,080
Speaker 1: And what do you see in terms of the momentum

338
00:15:24,080 --> 00:15:27,000
Speaker 1: in South Florida on the ground as a guy who

339
00:15:27,040 --> 00:15:29,000
Speaker 1: has lived there for quite some time.

340
00:15:29,640 --> 00:15:32,520
Speaker 9: I think it's tremendous enthusiasm. I mean, just this weekend alone,

341
00:15:32,520 --> 00:15:35,880
Speaker 9: there were multiple Trump and Scott events going on, and

342
00:15:35,920 --> 00:15:38,040
Speaker 9: we see it everywhere, and obviously he's got to turn

343
00:15:38,040 --> 00:15:40,640
Speaker 9: into votes. You're like, the caravans are great, and I'm

344
00:15:40,720 --> 00:15:42,880
Speaker 9: farming people driving around the trucks with the flags and

345
00:15:42,880 --> 00:15:44,600
Speaker 9: all that, but you have to go vote, and so

346
00:15:44,680 --> 00:15:47,240
Speaker 9: that's important and it's surprising to me how many people

347
00:15:47,280 --> 00:15:49,480
Speaker 9: that are. I know people that have had yard signs

348
00:15:49,520 --> 00:15:51,920
Speaker 9: and post on Facebook all day about the elections, and

349
00:15:51,960 --> 00:15:53,960
Speaker 9: then they forget to go vote, so that can't happen.

350
00:15:54,440 --> 00:15:56,560
Speaker 9: I would also say about Miami Dade County. Yeah, I

351
00:15:56,560 --> 00:15:58,960
Speaker 9: think they they can both win. I think they will

352
00:15:59,040 --> 00:16:01,000
Speaker 9: win Miami Dade County, but they don't even have to

353
00:16:01,200 --> 00:16:03,800
Speaker 9: remember that this is the county where Democrats used to

354
00:16:03,840 --> 00:16:06,600
Speaker 9: run up these huge margins to make them competitive statewide.

355
00:16:07,320 --> 00:16:09,120
Speaker 9: If it's even close, it's going to be, you know,

356
00:16:09,120 --> 00:16:12,080
Speaker 9: a very good night for us in Florida. But absolutely,

357
00:16:12,160 --> 00:16:14,600
Speaker 9: and you know Senator Scott Rick Scott spends a lot

358
00:16:14,600 --> 00:16:16,200
Speaker 9: of time in South Florida, has a lot of friends,

359
00:16:16,200 --> 00:16:18,800
Speaker 9: There's very strong coalitions to support. And it's not just

360
00:16:18,840 --> 00:16:20,720
Speaker 9: what he's done in the Senate, it's what he did

361
00:16:20,720 --> 00:16:23,720
Speaker 9: before as governor that people remember. He's always present, he's

362
00:16:23,720 --> 00:16:26,640
Speaker 9: always around, he's always engaged. So I think beyond just

363
00:16:26,680 --> 00:16:30,840
Speaker 9: the general election enthusiasm, there's a sense that you know,

364
00:16:30,880 --> 00:16:33,280
Speaker 9: he's running and it is somebody who's responsive to the

365
00:16:33,320 --> 00:16:36,240
Speaker 9: needs in South Florida. And his opponent is a lady

366
00:16:36,280 --> 00:16:38,000
Speaker 9: who was in Congress for two years and the first

367
00:16:38,040 --> 00:16:39,920
Speaker 9: thing she did when she got there was joined the squad.

368
00:16:39,960 --> 00:16:42,000
Speaker 9: Remember that when it was cool to be Not for me,

369
00:16:42,040 --> 00:16:43,520
Speaker 9: it was never cool, but for some people it was

370
00:16:43,560 --> 00:16:45,480
Speaker 9: cool to be a part of the squad. She joined

371
00:16:45,520 --> 00:16:48,200
Speaker 9: up with these radical left wing nuts and it was

372
00:16:48,200 --> 00:16:49,760
Speaker 9: one of the first things that she did when she

373
00:16:49,840 --> 00:16:51,840
Speaker 9: got there. And that's what she was as a congresswoman.

374
00:16:52,120 --> 00:16:54,120
Speaker 9: And a year and a half later they voted her

375
00:16:54,120 --> 00:16:55,920
Speaker 9: out of office. They got rid of her after one

376
00:16:56,000 --> 00:16:57,760
Speaker 9: term in the House. So there it would be a

377
00:16:57,800 --> 00:17:00,000
Speaker 9: disaster to the state if she gets anywhere near the Senate.

378
00:17:00,080 --> 00:17:02,840
Speaker 9: That beyond sitting in the gallery as a spectator.

379
00:17:02,360 --> 00:17:06,119
Speaker 4: We've been astonished to hear various senators, Senator Rubio or

380
00:17:06,200 --> 00:17:10,000
Speaker 4: would be senators in some cases, who give us a

381
00:17:10,080 --> 00:17:12,639
Speaker 4: sense of what the amount of money is that it's

382
00:17:12,680 --> 00:17:15,399
Speaker 4: being put against them. Somehow, the Democrats always seem to

383
00:17:15,400 --> 00:17:17,200
Speaker 4: have deeper pockets, which is a whole other thing, or

384
00:17:17,240 --> 00:17:18,680
Speaker 4: you know, always seem to be able to get more

385
00:17:18,680 --> 00:17:22,760
Speaker 4: money from New York City, Palo Alto, and Hollywood, and

386
00:17:22,760 --> 00:17:26,159
Speaker 4: then that just piles into their races. But hundreds of

387
00:17:26,200 --> 00:17:28,760
Speaker 4: millions of dollars in Pennsylvania, what kind of money are

388
00:17:28,760 --> 00:17:30,200
Speaker 4: they putting Florida.

389
00:17:30,320 --> 00:17:32,600
Speaker 9: The government is the business of the left. I mean,

390
00:17:32,600 --> 00:17:34,879
Speaker 9: that's what they do. That's what they're focused on. And power,

391
00:17:34,880 --> 00:17:37,240
Speaker 9: in particular government power is what they care about. Everything

392
00:17:37,280 --> 00:17:39,040
Speaker 9: they want to achieve in this country has to be

393
00:17:39,080 --> 00:17:41,919
Speaker 9: done through government and through the power of government, and

394
00:17:42,000 --> 00:17:43,760
Speaker 9: so they invest a lot of money and that, you know,

395
00:17:44,000 --> 00:17:46,719
Speaker 9: they seem to find it. You know, every Republican candidate

396
00:17:46,840 --> 00:17:50,159
Speaker 9: basically will be outraised in this cycle, including ones that

397
00:17:50,200 --> 00:17:53,119
Speaker 9: went I was outraised in my reelection, so that's just

398
00:17:53,160 --> 00:17:55,320
Speaker 9: a given. But we need enough money to tell that

399
00:17:55,400 --> 00:17:56,920
Speaker 9: is out of state money, by the way, Oh, almost

400
00:17:56,960 --> 00:17:58,640
Speaker 9: all of it, I mean the majority of it. Yeah,

401
00:17:59,280 --> 00:18:01,160
Speaker 9: I would argue some might be out of country money

402
00:18:01,160 --> 00:18:03,480
Speaker 9: because we don't know. You know, the Act Blued wasn't

403
00:18:03,520 --> 00:18:06,080
Speaker 9: even requiring people until very recently to put that three

404
00:18:06,160 --> 00:18:08,480
Speaker 9: letter three number code that I always forget on the

405
00:18:08,480 --> 00:18:12,080
Speaker 9: credit card. They that's what tells you where the bank

406
00:18:12,080 --> 00:18:14,840
Speaker 9: account is. They weren't even requiring that for a long time.

407
00:18:14,880 --> 00:18:16,680
Speaker 9: So we don't know those fifty dollars a month they're

408
00:18:16,680 --> 00:18:19,800
Speaker 9: coming from multiple accounts in another country. But look, irrespective

409
00:18:19,840 --> 00:18:22,280
Speaker 9: of that, the truth of the matter is they're running

410
00:18:22,280 --> 00:18:24,320
Speaker 9: ads and we were talking about this before we got

411
00:18:24,359 --> 00:18:26,840
Speaker 9: on the air. They're running ads in these states where

412
00:18:26,880 --> 00:18:28,679
Speaker 9: you would think that some of these Senate candidates that

413
00:18:28,680 --> 00:18:31,240
Speaker 9: are running for reelection, like Shared Brown and others, are

414
00:18:31,280 --> 00:18:34,080
Speaker 9: like Donald Trump's best friends. I mean they're bragging about

415
00:18:34,320 --> 00:18:36,280
Speaker 9: What does that tell you about what they're spending their money.

416
00:18:36,320 --> 00:18:38,480
Speaker 9: I mean, we try to get away with that. They'd

417
00:18:38,600 --> 00:18:41,400
Speaker 9: kill us. So in the particular case of the Senate race,

418
00:18:41,560 --> 00:18:43,240
Speaker 9: almost all of our money's from out of state, and

419
00:18:43,280 --> 00:18:45,600
Speaker 9: it's all a desire. They just want the one vote

420
00:18:45,800 --> 00:18:47,639
Speaker 9: to be able to put their majority leader, because they

421
00:18:47,640 --> 00:18:49,560
Speaker 9: know these people become sheep they get up there. They

422
00:18:49,560 --> 00:18:51,840
Speaker 9: will vote one hundred percent of the time with whatever

423
00:18:51,880 --> 00:18:53,600
Speaker 9: Schumer tells them to vote, and it's going to be

424
00:18:53,640 --> 00:18:54,760
Speaker 9: to obstruct Donald Trump.

425
00:18:55,359 --> 00:18:57,639
Speaker 1: I think you just said on a big point center, Rubio,

426
00:18:57,720 --> 00:18:59,960
Speaker 1: that I want to go back to cook political report

427
00:19:00,240 --> 00:19:04,520
Speaker 1: just moved Wisconsin into the toss up realm with Ohio,

428
00:19:04,960 --> 00:19:09,040
Speaker 1: with Michigan and with Wisconsin. Those are also called big

429
00:19:09,080 --> 00:19:12,400
Speaker 1: ten states as I call them, where there are right

430
00:19:12,440 --> 00:19:16,000
Speaker 1: now Democrats in those seats, and now there are all

431
00:19:16,119 --> 00:19:19,320
Speaker 1: four of them in the toss up category. Basically too

432
00:19:19,359 --> 00:19:22,800
Speaker 1: close to call. Follow you guys, follow this closely. They

433
00:19:22,840 --> 00:19:26,080
Speaker 1: now are trying the Democrat senators running in those states

434
00:19:26,400 --> 00:19:30,320
Speaker 1: are trying to align themselves with Donald Trump. They're saying, oh,

435
00:19:30,359 --> 00:19:33,000
Speaker 1: they're even putting Trump in their commercials to try to

436
00:19:33,040 --> 00:19:36,119
Speaker 1: appeal to voters, which is a very good sign for Trump,

437
00:19:36,200 --> 00:19:38,600
Speaker 1: not so much for Kamala. But you just hit on it.

438
00:19:38,880 --> 00:19:42,359
Speaker 1: If you're voting Trump, it's crazy to split ticket your

439
00:19:42,480 --> 00:19:45,520
Speaker 1: vote based on what they would do to him if

440
00:19:45,560 --> 00:19:48,200
Speaker 1: they control the Senate. I just want you to elaborate

441
00:19:48,280 --> 00:19:49,080
Speaker 1: on that a bit more.

442
00:19:49,200 --> 00:19:51,960
Speaker 9: Yeah, and generally it's not I mean, someons split ticket, right,

443
00:19:52,160 --> 00:19:54,080
Speaker 9: they like Trump, but they're Democrats, they're going to vote

444
00:19:54,080 --> 00:19:55,000
Speaker 9: the other way. I mean, you might as well not

445
00:19:55,080 --> 00:19:56,920
Speaker 9: vote for Trump, and I think you should, and then

446
00:19:56,960 --> 00:19:58,960
Speaker 9: you should vote for Senate. But the other big problem

447
00:19:59,080 --> 00:20:01,239
Speaker 9: is people go in and they've for president and then

448
00:20:01,280 --> 00:20:03,359
Speaker 9: they leave and they don't fill out the rest of

449
00:20:03,359 --> 00:20:05,240
Speaker 9: that ballot. The next question in most states will be

450
00:20:05,280 --> 00:20:07,560
Speaker 9: the US Senate seat, and you've got to be able

451
00:20:07,560 --> 00:20:08,800
Speaker 9: if you're going to do that, you got to stay

452
00:20:08,800 --> 00:20:10,400
Speaker 9: there and do that. And the member of Congress if

453
00:20:10,400 --> 00:20:12,359
Speaker 9: you have a House member up for re election as well,

454
00:20:12,400 --> 00:20:14,200
Speaker 9: because he won't be able to do anything. He will

455
00:20:14,200 --> 00:20:16,440
Speaker 9: not be able to do anything good for the country

456
00:20:16,680 --> 00:20:18,960
Speaker 9: if he doesn't have those majorities in the House and Senate,

457
00:20:18,960 --> 00:20:21,560
Speaker 9: particularly the Senate when it comes to the nominations process.

458
00:20:21,640 --> 00:20:24,080
Speaker 9: So I encourage people to think that way and to

459
00:20:24,080 --> 00:20:26,000
Speaker 9: do it. I know down here, you know, we expect

460
00:20:26,040 --> 00:20:27,840
Speaker 9: people are going to stay and vote down the ballot,

461
00:20:27,880 --> 00:20:29,520
Speaker 9: but we have to make sure that's the case. People

462
00:20:29,520 --> 00:20:32,399
Speaker 9: have to be reminded constantly. Look, we forget, you know,

463
00:20:32,440 --> 00:20:33,840
Speaker 9: we live and breede with This is what we do

464
00:20:33,920 --> 00:20:35,720
Speaker 9: for a living now is we're in politics and we

465
00:20:35,760 --> 00:20:38,520
Speaker 9: focus on elections. But people have real lives. You know,

466
00:20:38,560 --> 00:20:41,920
Speaker 9: they have to go to weddings in October for God's sake,

467
00:20:41,920 --> 00:20:43,359
Speaker 9: they have to do all these other things that they

468
00:20:43,359 --> 00:20:45,720
Speaker 9: have to put up with. And then on top of that,

469
00:20:46,040 --> 00:20:47,720
Speaker 9: and then on top of that, you're dealing with, you know,

470
00:20:47,760 --> 00:20:50,080
Speaker 9: the impacts potentially of a storm or just real life.

471
00:20:50,560 --> 00:20:53,480
Speaker 9: And so they forget to vote even though they intend to,

472
00:20:53,600 --> 00:20:55,160
Speaker 9: but they forget, you know, it gets late, they get

473
00:20:55,160 --> 00:20:56,879
Speaker 9: they don't get there, and then a vote doesn't happen,

474
00:20:57,320 --> 00:21:00,240
Speaker 9: or they go vote and they don't remember the other

475
00:21:00,359 --> 00:21:03,280
Speaker 9: races that are so critical to what you're voting for.

476
00:21:04,200 --> 00:21:06,680
Speaker 9: So I urge everybody listening, you know, if you're voting

477
00:21:06,720 --> 00:21:08,760
Speaker 9: for Trump, make sure you stay and vote for the Senate,

478
00:21:08,840 --> 00:21:10,800
Speaker 9: vote for the House. I would say, stay and vote

479
00:21:10,840 --> 00:21:13,159
Speaker 9: for all of them, including the school board races and

480
00:21:13,200 --> 00:21:14,520
Speaker 9: the local races as well.

481
00:21:14,760 --> 00:21:15,560
Speaker 6: But you got to vote.

482
00:21:15,600 --> 00:21:17,400
Speaker 9: I mean, no matter how strong you may feel about

483
00:21:17,400 --> 00:21:20,119
Speaker 9: the issues, if you don't vote, it won't matter no

484
00:21:20,160 --> 00:21:22,320
Speaker 9: matter what the polls say or all this other stuff.

485
00:21:22,520 --> 00:21:24,840
Speaker 9: Voting is the points on the scoreboard that we got

486
00:21:24,880 --> 00:21:25,120
Speaker 9: to get.

487
00:21:25,160 --> 00:21:29,000
Speaker 4: We're speaking to Senator Marco Rubio in Florida of Florida,

488
00:21:29,200 --> 00:21:32,360
Speaker 4: and Senator Rubio, what would you want to see as

489
00:21:32,400 --> 00:21:36,240
Speaker 4: the absolute first out of the gate. Let's just assume

490
00:21:36,400 --> 00:21:38,600
Speaker 4: we're in a happy world for a second. You have

491
00:21:38,680 --> 00:21:40,680
Speaker 4: a Republican majority in the House, the Senate, and a

492
00:21:40,720 --> 00:21:44,000
Speaker 4: Donald Trump presidency. From the Senate side of things, what

493
00:21:44,040 --> 00:21:45,960
Speaker 4: would you want to see come to the Senate Flora

494
00:21:45,960 --> 00:21:48,480
Speaker 4: as the first top Trump agenda item.

495
00:21:48,720 --> 00:21:50,760
Speaker 9: Well, I think the first issue is going to have

496
00:21:50,760 --> 00:21:52,040
Speaker 9: to deal with that out of the box is this

497
00:21:52,080 --> 00:21:54,520
Speaker 9: migration crisis. This is not an immigration issue. We need

498
00:21:54,600 --> 00:21:56,560
Speaker 9: to stop calling it that it is a mass migration,

499
00:21:57,119 --> 00:21:59,600
Speaker 9: it is an essence and invasion of our country. You know,

500
00:21:59,680 --> 00:22:01,960
Speaker 9: ten nine to twelve million people have entered the country

501
00:22:02,040 --> 00:22:03,919
Speaker 9: unlawfully illegally in the last three and.

502
00:22:03,880 --> 00:22:05,719
Speaker 2: A half years. That has to stop.

503
00:22:06,160 --> 00:22:08,000
Speaker 9: And he has the ability to restore some of the

504
00:22:08,000 --> 00:22:10,080
Speaker 9: executive orders he did on day one, and there are

505
00:22:10,080 --> 00:22:12,639
Speaker 9: things we can do legislatively to help even further. So

506
00:22:12,680 --> 00:22:14,400
Speaker 9: that to me, was going to be the top priority.

507
00:22:14,400 --> 00:22:16,400
Speaker 9: It's a top priority of voters. I think the other

508
00:22:16,480 --> 00:22:18,719
Speaker 9: is to provide certainty to our economy. Not only are

509
00:22:18,760 --> 00:22:20,840
Speaker 9: we not going to be raising taxes, but we're going

510
00:22:20,920 --> 00:22:24,080
Speaker 9: to be looking for ways to bring manufacturing jobs back

511
00:22:24,119 --> 00:22:25,879
Speaker 9: to the country. We're going to be looking for ways

512
00:22:25,920 --> 00:22:28,680
Speaker 9: to inject fairness into how we trade with other countries.

513
00:22:29,359 --> 00:22:31,520
Speaker 9: And I expect those will be top priorities of his

514
00:22:31,640 --> 00:22:34,560
Speaker 9: And embedded in that is energy. The cost of energy,

515
00:22:34,560 --> 00:22:37,320
Speaker 9: what it costs to fuel a truck or a home,

516
00:22:38,000 --> 00:22:40,480
Speaker 9: is embedded in the cost of everything we buy everything,

517
00:22:40,880 --> 00:22:44,679
Speaker 9: and so doing things to open up the exploration of

518
00:22:44,720 --> 00:22:48,439
Speaker 9: American energy that we've been blessed with is critical. So

519
00:22:48,800 --> 00:22:52,840
Speaker 9: I would expect that those economic issues, combined with our

520
00:22:52,960 --> 00:22:56,080
Speaker 9: national security, national sovereignty issue, which is the crisis at

521
00:22:56,080 --> 00:22:58,159
Speaker 9: our border, are going to be the priorities of a

522
00:22:58,200 --> 00:23:00,479
Speaker 9: Trump administration and what I would expect we would make

523
00:23:00,520 --> 00:23:03,080
Speaker 9: a priority in addition to the positions he needs to

524
00:23:03,119 --> 00:23:04,880
Speaker 9: fill in the nomination role the Senate place.

525
00:23:05,480 --> 00:23:07,600
Speaker 1: I know you're a foreign policy expert, so I wanted

526
00:23:07,600 --> 00:23:11,000
Speaker 1: to get your take on this, Senator Rubio. Kamala would

527
00:23:11,040 --> 00:23:13,000
Speaker 1: be a disaster. I think it's fair to say or

528
00:23:13,080 --> 00:23:17,359
Speaker 1: on foreign policy in general, but in terms of keeping

529
00:23:17,440 --> 00:23:20,640
Speaker 1: us out of wars, there does seem to be a

530
00:23:20,720 --> 00:23:25,399
Speaker 1: fear of Trump that Putin would have, that Chairman Z

531
00:23:25,560 --> 00:23:29,679
Speaker 1: would likely have in your experience, Why was Trump able

532
00:23:29,760 --> 00:23:32,840
Speaker 1: to avoid war in the Middle East and war in Europe?

533
00:23:32,880 --> 00:23:35,280
Speaker 1: And as soon as Biden got into office we got

534
00:23:35,320 --> 00:23:39,720
Speaker 1: both how directly connected to Biden's presidency and Kamala's potential

535
00:23:40,000 --> 00:23:44,080
Speaker 1: future presidency. Would a lack of security around the world

536
00:23:44,160 --> 00:23:45,200
Speaker 1: be well?

537
00:23:45,280 --> 00:23:48,679
Speaker 9: I think that what happened, the travesty and the embarrassment

538
00:23:48,720 --> 00:23:51,359
Speaker 9: of what happened in Afghanistan was the trigger for everything

539
00:23:51,400 --> 00:23:53,200
Speaker 9: we've seen happen in the world since then because of

540
00:23:53,280 --> 00:23:57,240
Speaker 9: projected weakness, and it confirmed to Putin to the Chinese

541
00:23:57,240 --> 00:24:00,240
Speaker 9: to Hasblahamasa on everybody else at the United States under

542
00:24:00,320 --> 00:24:03,320
Speaker 9: Joe Biden was weak and feckless. And Donald Trump projects

543
00:24:03,400 --> 00:24:06,360
Speaker 9: strength and he did from the very beginning of his presidency.

544
00:24:06,680 --> 00:24:09,280
Speaker 9: And ultimately, you know, we are dealing with people that

545
00:24:09,320 --> 00:24:13,440
Speaker 9: are raw, calculated operatives. That's what the Putin is, That's

546
00:24:13,480 --> 00:24:16,480
Speaker 9: what she is in China, That's what the Iranians are.

547
00:24:16,880 --> 00:24:20,560
Speaker 9: They're not into warm, fuzzy, you know, feelings and personal

548
00:24:20,640 --> 00:24:23,400
Speaker 9: relationships more than anything else. They want to know what's

549
00:24:23,440 --> 00:24:25,719
Speaker 9: the cost and the benefit of taking an action. And

550
00:24:25,760 --> 00:24:29,320
Speaker 9: they concluded that under Joe Biden, the benefits of invading Ukraine,

551
00:24:29,320 --> 00:24:32,720
Speaker 9: the benefits of harassing the Philippines now and Taiwan in

552
00:24:32,760 --> 00:24:36,320
Speaker 9: the future, about the Chinese, the benefits of Iran expanding

553
00:24:37,200 --> 00:24:40,600
Speaker 9: their weapons program and sponsoring Hamas and hesbel and they're like,

554
00:24:40,640 --> 00:24:42,680
Speaker 9: the benefits of all those things while Joe Biden was

555
00:24:42,680 --> 00:24:45,879
Speaker 9: president outweighed any of the potential costs, and that's what

556
00:24:45,920 --> 00:24:48,359
Speaker 9: we got. We didn't have that under Trump. We won't

557
00:24:48,359 --> 00:24:51,600
Speaker 9: have that if he's back, because he projects strength. And ultimately,

558
00:24:51,640 --> 00:24:54,480
Speaker 9: in the world, when you're dealing with nation state actors

559
00:24:54,560 --> 00:24:57,080
Speaker 9: and even terrorist groups like these, you have to project

560
00:24:57,080 --> 00:24:59,000
Speaker 9: strength as a country, they have to actually fear you

561
00:24:59,080 --> 00:25:02,119
Speaker 9: and believe respect that you will actually do things to

562
00:25:02,160 --> 00:25:03,439
Speaker 9: them if they act against you.

563
00:25:03,680 --> 00:25:04,480
Speaker 2: And he did no.

564
00:25:04,680 --> 00:25:08,159
Speaker 9: Solomoni was wiped out, he was taken out, Isis was

565
00:25:08,200 --> 00:25:11,120
Speaker 9: taken That was wiped out under Trump, and he didn't

566
00:25:11,119 --> 00:25:14,359
Speaker 9: start wars to do it. So I think to me

567
00:25:14,480 --> 00:25:16,960
Speaker 9: that that's really critical, and especially in a world where

568
00:25:17,040 --> 00:25:19,960
Speaker 9: right now we face not one, but multiple crisis that

569
00:25:20,119 --> 00:25:23,399
Speaker 9: together and combined, threatened to spiral into something far worse.

570
00:25:23,960 --> 00:25:25,920
Speaker 9: And frankly, I say this with no joy in my heart,

571
00:25:25,920 --> 00:25:28,280
Speaker 9: but if Kamala Harris's president, it's not going to get better.

572
00:25:28,280 --> 00:25:30,720
Speaker 9: It's going to get far, far worse. I think that

573
00:25:30,800 --> 00:25:34,000
Speaker 9: at that point you're going to see multiple adversaries tests

574
00:25:34,040 --> 00:25:36,520
Speaker 9: in ways this nation has not been tested in forty

575
00:25:36,560 --> 00:25:37,360
Speaker 9: fifty years.

576
00:25:37,960 --> 00:25:42,120
Speaker 1: Senator Marco Rubio, great stuff. Good luck to the Miami Dolphins,

577
00:25:42,160 --> 00:25:44,959
Speaker 1: you guys need it for sure, and the Florida Gators.

578
00:25:45,040 --> 00:25:46,320
Speaker 2: Next four brutal games.

579
00:25:46,359 --> 00:25:48,720
Speaker 1: So I know you'll be watching all those, But and

580
00:25:48,760 --> 00:25:50,560
Speaker 1: then get out and vote one more time. I'll let

581
00:25:50,600 --> 00:25:55,119
Speaker 1: you make the call, make the call on the games. No, no, no, Ma,

582
00:25:55,359 --> 00:25:57,359
Speaker 1: Well you probably could do that too, get out of

583
00:25:57,359 --> 00:25:57,680
Speaker 1: the vote.

584
00:25:57,720 --> 00:26:00,640
Speaker 9: Yeah, I'm not calling on those damn gun he schedule man,

585
00:26:00,640 --> 00:26:05,600
Speaker 9: that's my god. Anyway, Yeah, no, I mean again, I

586
00:26:05,640 --> 00:26:08,600
Speaker 9: just want to remind everybody, especially listen, they're Floridians, people

587
00:26:08,600 --> 00:26:10,760
Speaker 9: that vote in Florida, but they live here six months

588
00:26:10,960 --> 00:26:13,600
Speaker 9: and a day or whatever you know, to get in November,

589
00:26:13,920 --> 00:26:15,880
Speaker 9: and they've got a ballot sitting in their house right

590
00:26:15,920 --> 00:26:18,640
Speaker 9: now from their county in Florida. They need to fill

591
00:26:18,640 --> 00:26:20,000
Speaker 9: it out and they need to send it back as

592
00:26:20,000 --> 00:26:20,760
Speaker 9: soon as possible.

593
00:26:21,480 --> 00:26:24,040
Speaker 1: You just heard Center Marco Rubio talk about the dangers

594
00:26:24,080 --> 00:26:27,199
Speaker 1: all over the world, in particular has Belah and what

595
00:26:27,320 --> 00:26:29,800
Speaker 1: is going on with Hamas in the Middle East. Life

596
00:26:29,800 --> 00:26:32,560
Speaker 1: in Israel these days anything but easy. Over the weekend,

597
00:26:33,000 --> 00:26:36,359
Speaker 1: Israeli citizens learned of a missile attack on Prime Minister

598
00:26:36,440 --> 00:26:39,359
Speaker 1: net and Yahoo's home. It was an assassination attempt. Not

599
00:26:39,400 --> 00:26:43,480
Speaker 1: only that, more attempted missiles attacks alerted citizens to the

600
00:26:43,520 --> 00:26:46,560
Speaker 1: prospect of having to take cover in bomb shelters, conflict

601
00:26:46,560 --> 00:26:49,520
Speaker 1: and tints. As ever, Israel and our people are facing

602
00:26:49,600 --> 00:26:53,119
Speaker 1: attacks from enemies on all sides. Friendly support more appreciated

00:27:58,240 --> 00:28:04,000
Speaker 4: us here in South Florida and Clay. Let's dive into

622
00:28:04,040 --> 00:28:07,200
Speaker 4: this with Senator Cotton. Senator Cob we talked to you

623
00:28:07,240 --> 00:28:11,720
Speaker 4: before about the McDonald's moment over the weekend, some great photos,

624
00:28:11,880 --> 00:28:15,760
Speaker 4: a lot of iconic imagery, truly historic and iconic imagery

625
00:28:15,760 --> 00:28:18,119
Speaker 4: of Donald Trump from the campaign. I don't think anyone

626
00:28:18,160 --> 00:28:20,720
Speaker 4: can deny that. I mean, with the fist, after the

627
00:28:20,720 --> 00:28:23,480
Speaker 4: shooting and now this, and there's just a lot of

628
00:28:24,160 --> 00:28:28,000
Speaker 4: things about this that everyone's going to remember. Here, I'll

629
00:28:28,000 --> 00:28:29,840
Speaker 4: put this one out to you. I've got a lot

630
00:28:29,840 --> 00:28:32,280
Speaker 4: of we want to get you to start making some predictions here, Senator.

631
00:28:32,480 --> 00:28:35,040
Speaker 6: But first up, do you think there's a pretty.

632
00:28:34,840 --> 00:28:37,120
Speaker 4: Decent chance that Democrats may look back on this if

633
00:28:37,119 --> 00:28:39,160
Speaker 4: it goes the way Clay and I both think it will,

634
00:28:39,800 --> 00:28:42,400
Speaker 4: and say that Joe Biden, even with all his problems,

635
00:28:42,480 --> 00:28:44,280
Speaker 4: was a better candidate than Kamala Is that is that

636
00:28:44,320 --> 00:28:45,400
Speaker 4: a crazy idea to you?

637
00:28:45,440 --> 00:28:46,440
Speaker 6: Or you think that's possible.

638
00:28:46,480 --> 00:28:48,320
Speaker 10: Well, I think Joe Biden and some of those around

639
00:28:48,360 --> 00:28:51,560
Speaker 10: Joe Biden are already saying that. I mean, remember the

640
00:28:51,560 --> 00:28:56,040
Speaker 10: Democratic Party didn't want to replace Joe Biden for three

641
00:28:56,040 --> 00:28:57,960
Speaker 10: and a half years because they all had doubts about

642
00:28:58,000 --> 00:29:01,600
Speaker 10: Kamala Harris's abilities. And I think you've seen that proven

643
00:29:01,640 --> 00:29:04,200
Speaker 10: on the campaign trail. She can't cite a single thing

644
00:29:04,680 --> 00:29:07,280
Speaker 10: where she would disagree with Joe Biden or done something differently.

645
00:29:07,360 --> 00:29:10,040
Speaker 10: Not the withdrawal from Afghanistan, not the troyion dollars of

646
00:29:10,080 --> 00:29:13,760
Speaker 10: spending that unleashed inflation, Not the migrant crisis at our

647
00:29:13,760 --> 00:29:16,640
Speaker 10: border and now all across our country. And she won't

648
00:29:16,640 --> 00:29:19,640
Speaker 10: walk back or explain why she put ports to chance

649
00:29:19,720 --> 00:29:23,720
Speaker 10: reviews on truly radical positions like decriminalizing illegal immigration, or

650
00:29:23,720 --> 00:29:26,600
Speaker 10: taking away your health insurance on the job, confiscating your gun,

651
00:29:26,760 --> 00:29:30,360
Speaker 10: or paying for sex chain surgeries for prisoners with your money.

652
00:29:30,640 --> 00:29:32,920
Speaker 10: So there's a reason why Joe Biden and the Democratic

653
00:29:32,960 --> 00:29:35,480
Speaker 10: high command had doubts about Kamala Harris all along, and

654
00:29:35,560 --> 00:29:37,480
Speaker 10: I think you're seeing that in the final days of

655
00:29:37,480 --> 00:29:38,560
Speaker 10: this campaign.

656
00:29:38,920 --> 00:29:39,560
Speaker 2: Siner Cotton.

657
00:29:39,600 --> 00:29:41,120
Speaker 1: I'm not going to put you on the spot and

658
00:29:41,240 --> 00:29:43,320
Speaker 1: ask you to tell me who you think the best

659
00:29:43,360 --> 00:29:46,960
Speaker 1: Democrat in the Senate would be as president. But I'm

660
00:29:47,000 --> 00:29:49,120
Speaker 1: sure there are some guys or girls that you meet

661
00:29:49,160 --> 00:29:50,840
Speaker 1: and you say, hey, I may not agree with them

662
00:29:50,840 --> 00:29:54,360
Speaker 1: on the political equation, but they're relatively intelligent. They make

663
00:29:54,480 --> 00:29:58,400
Speaker 1: rational decisions. You guys have all served with Kamala Harris.

664
00:29:58,800 --> 00:30:01,440
Speaker 1: Where would she rank if you had to pick a

665
00:30:01,560 --> 00:30:05,720
Speaker 1: Democrat in the Senate to be president. Bottom category, like,

666
00:30:05,760 --> 00:30:08,840
Speaker 1: how would you assess the role that she performed as

667
00:30:08,920 --> 00:30:13,360
Speaker 1: senator and just kind of the decision making that she embodied.

668
00:30:13,040 --> 00:30:13,680
Speaker 2: In some way.

669
00:30:13,720 --> 00:30:16,280
Speaker 1: The senate's small enough that you guys have some sense

670
00:30:16,360 --> 00:30:19,200
Speaker 1: for what she's like. Well, you're right about that. I

671
00:30:19,200 --> 00:30:22,520
Speaker 1: would not pick any Democratic senator or congressman for that matter,

672
00:30:22,600 --> 00:30:24,880
Speaker 1: to ever be our president. But if you had to

673
00:30:24,920 --> 00:30:26,760
Speaker 1: twist my arm and say where she'd rank, I'd say

674
00:30:26,800 --> 00:30:29,640
Speaker 1: it'd be pretty low on the scale. I mean, she

675
00:30:29,800 --> 00:30:34,240
Speaker 1: is a far left San Francisco Liberal, and I don't

676
00:30:34,240 --> 00:30:36,920
Speaker 1: think she's especially competent either, as you saw from her

677
00:30:36,920 --> 00:30:39,200
Speaker 1: time in the Senate I'm sorry, on a presidential campaign

678
00:30:39,200 --> 00:30:41,920
Speaker 1: in twenty nineteen and then also as vice president. I'll

679
00:30:41,920 --> 00:30:43,760
Speaker 1: also raise this point too about her in the Senate.

680
00:30:44,360 --> 00:30:46,040
Speaker 1: I mean, if the moment she got there, she seemed

681
00:30:46,040 --> 00:30:49,600
Speaker 1: to be laser focused on her future presidential campaign and

682
00:30:49,640 --> 00:30:53,520
Speaker 1: what you did to try to get elected president. And

683
00:30:53,600 --> 00:30:55,760
Speaker 1: I understand that a lot of senators are ambitious in

684
00:30:55,760 --> 00:30:58,560
Speaker 1: that way, but she represents a big state with lots

685
00:30:58,600 --> 00:31:01,040
Speaker 1: of problems, problems that are protcure lawyer to California and

686
00:31:01,080 --> 00:31:04,120
Speaker 1: I never once heard her caring about the people she represented.

687
00:31:04,200 --> 00:31:06,239
Speaker 1: That's very different from most senators. I said, it's very

688
00:31:06,240 --> 00:31:09,360
Speaker 1: different from these two senators here, Marco Rubio and Rick Scott.

689
00:31:09,560 --> 00:31:11,840
Speaker 1: I mean, they're great champions of having a strong border

690
00:31:11,880 --> 00:31:15,640
Speaker 1: and defending our secmmendent rights, funding our military, keeping taxes low.

691
00:31:16,000 --> 00:31:18,640
Speaker 1: But Florida has its own unique problems as well. And

692
00:31:18,760 --> 00:31:21,080
Speaker 1: Rick Scott in particular, since he's up for reelection, I

693
00:31:21,120 --> 00:31:23,240
Speaker 1: just want to stress and look in Arkansas, we don't

694
00:31:23,240 --> 00:31:26,480
Speaker 1: have a lot of maritime issues. We don't have many hurricanes.

695
00:31:26,520 --> 00:31:29,320
Speaker 1: We get some remnants and rainstorms. But he's a champion

696
00:31:29,480 --> 00:31:31,760
Speaker 1: for Floridians on those issues, and he's a voice in

697
00:31:31,800 --> 00:31:33,520
Speaker 1: the Senate, and we all go to him, and we

698
00:31:33,560 --> 00:31:36,360
Speaker 1: go to Marco when we need guidance on things that

699
00:31:36,520 --> 00:31:39,160
Speaker 1: don't affect our states directly, but we're still called upon

700
00:31:39,320 --> 00:31:41,920
Speaker 1: to vote on That's not something anybody would have ever

701
00:31:42,000 --> 00:31:42,920
Speaker 1: done with Kamala.

702
00:31:42,640 --> 00:31:48,800
Speaker 4: Harris Senator Cotton. Kamala Harris is obviously not a gifted

703
00:31:48,920 --> 00:31:52,360
Speaker 4: national level politician based on the interviews and some of

704
00:31:52,400 --> 00:31:55,480
Speaker 4: the media that we've seen her do. But there are

705
00:31:55,520 --> 00:31:59,680
Speaker 4: people who are worried that just the issue of abortion.

706
00:32:00,000 --> 00:32:02,920
Speaker 4: It could be enough to push forward Democrats in some

707
00:32:02,960 --> 00:32:05,480
Speaker 4: of the battleground states to push forward maybe even and

708
00:32:05,720 --> 00:32:07,520
Speaker 4: we know no one can bring the future, maybe even

709
00:32:07,560 --> 00:32:10,240
Speaker 4: Kamala Harris to the presidency. What do you say to

710
00:32:10,320 --> 00:32:13,480
Speaker 4: that concern at this stage of the election and from

711
00:32:13,520 --> 00:32:15,040
Speaker 4: what we've seen in the numbers.

712
00:32:14,880 --> 00:32:16,560
Speaker 10: Well, I travel all around the state like I am

713
00:32:16,560 --> 00:32:18,719
Speaker 10: today for Rick Scott and Florida, all around the country

714
00:32:18,760 --> 00:32:20,880
Speaker 10: like I'm here in Florida for Rick Scott today. So

715
00:32:21,040 --> 00:32:24,360
Speaker 10: I see Democrats telling lies about our candidates and lying

716
00:32:24,360 --> 00:32:29,440
Speaker 10: about President Trump's position. President Trump appointed three constitutional conservatives

717
00:32:29,520 --> 00:32:32,080
Speaker 10: to our Supreme Court who recognize that Roe v. Waders

718
00:32:32,120 --> 00:32:34,880
Speaker 10: wrongly decided that for one hundred and eighty years in

719
00:32:34,920 --> 00:32:38,200
Speaker 10: our republic, this very important question was settled by the people,

720
00:32:38,600 --> 00:32:41,239
Speaker 10: acting through their legislatures and their governor. And that's what

721
00:32:41,280 --> 00:32:43,520
Speaker 10: we have again. And some states are going to have

722
00:32:43,920 --> 00:32:46,120
Speaker 10: more restrictive abortion laws, some states are going to have

723
00:32:46,120 --> 00:32:49,600
Speaker 10: more liberal abortion laws. And that's okay because it happens

724
00:32:49,640 --> 00:32:52,240
Speaker 10: on so many other issues that we do handle in

725
00:32:52,280 --> 00:32:55,480
Speaker 10: America as well. Washington doesn't always have to impose a

726
00:32:55,560 --> 00:32:58,760
Speaker 10: one size fits all solution. States can kind of work

727
00:32:58,800 --> 00:33:01,680
Speaker 10: to where their opinion is on this, as they do

728
00:33:01,760 --> 00:33:04,720
Speaker 10: on so many other issues. It's the Democrats alone who

729
00:33:04,720 --> 00:33:10,000
Speaker 10: are proposing a radical nationwide abortion law that would legalize

730
00:33:10,040 --> 00:33:12,440
Speaker 10: abortion up to the very moment of birth, and yes,

731
00:33:12,480 --> 00:33:16,960
Speaker 10: despite their claims, allow doctors to deny life saving care

732
00:33:17,240 --> 00:33:19,760
Speaker 10: to children who have been born during the course of

733
00:33:19,800 --> 00:33:22,959
Speaker 10: a botched abortion. They're the only party who has a

734
00:33:23,080 --> 00:33:26,600
Speaker 10: radical nationwide abortion law that they're pursuing, so much so

735
00:33:26,640 --> 00:33:29,320
Speaker 10: that they're willing to violate the rules of the Senate

736
00:33:29,520 --> 00:33:32,400
Speaker 10: to try to pass, as Kamala Harris proposed to do. Recently,

737
00:33:32,880 --> 00:33:35,760
Speaker 10: we're talking to Senator Tom Cotton. He's campaigning in Florida

738
00:33:35,880 --> 00:33:38,800
Speaker 10: with two of his Senate colleagues, Marco Rubio and Senator

739
00:33:38,880 --> 00:33:41,640
Speaker 10: Rick Scott, who you have heard on the program as well.

740
00:33:41,760 --> 00:33:43,440
Speaker 10: I want to go back to something that I think

741
00:33:43,440 --> 00:33:45,800
Speaker 10: you got one hundred percent right, but I think was

742
00:33:45,800 --> 00:33:49,600
Speaker 10: so emblematic of the broken media ecosystem that we have.

743
00:33:50,320 --> 00:33:51,160
Speaker 2: You wrote for.

744
00:33:51,120 --> 00:33:54,800
Speaker 1: People who have forgotten during the bom riots of the

745
00:33:54,840 --> 00:33:59,680
Speaker 1: summer of twenty twenty a well reasoned, intelligent, rational editorial

746
00:33:59,760 --> 00:34:02,640
Speaker 1: for The New York Times arguing that the National Guard

747
00:34:02,760 --> 00:34:05,920
Speaker 1: should be called out to quell the riots. There was

748
00:34:06,000 --> 00:34:08,880
Speaker 1: an uproar to the extent that people got fired. At

749
00:34:08,880 --> 00:34:12,239
Speaker 1: the New York Times, they basically purged the opinions that

750
00:34:12,280 --> 00:34:16,080
Speaker 1: were allowed to be shared on the editorial page. And then,

751
00:34:16,120 --> 00:34:19,799
Speaker 1: by the way, after January sixth, they came out and said, oh, yeah,

752
00:34:19,840 --> 00:34:21,440
Speaker 1: we need to call out the National Guard to make

753
00:34:21,480 --> 00:34:23,400
Speaker 1: sure that we have security in the country. So they

754
00:34:23,440 --> 00:34:26,719
Speaker 1: actually ended up agreeing with you several months later. Are

755
00:34:26,760 --> 00:34:30,759
Speaker 1: you optimistic in any way that the craziness that we

756
00:34:30,840 --> 00:34:35,080
Speaker 1: saw in twenty twenty in the media ecosystem is getting better?

757
00:34:35,640 --> 00:34:38,920
Speaker 1: Or do you think it's fundamentally broken and it's almost

758
00:34:38,920 --> 00:34:42,600
Speaker 1: impossible to salvage. How do you see, based on your

759
00:34:42,640 --> 00:34:46,640
Speaker 1: experience in twenty twenty four years later, the media environment.

760
00:34:47,320 --> 00:34:50,279
Speaker 10: No, I don't think it's gotten better at liberal flagships

761
00:34:50,280 --> 00:34:53,120
Speaker 10: like the New York Times or the Washington Post or MSNBC.

762
00:34:53,360 --> 00:34:54,759
Speaker 10: I mean, if you just go to the New York

763
00:34:54,760 --> 00:34:57,520
Speaker 10: Times homepage, you'll have to scroll down to get to

764
00:34:57,560 --> 00:34:59,840
Speaker 10: the Arts and Lifestyle section before you see a headline

765
00:34:59,880 --> 00:35:02,400
Speaker 10: that not how awful Donald Trump is and how wonderful

766
00:35:02,480 --> 00:35:06,680
Speaker 10: Kamala Harris is and that op ed that I published

767
00:35:06,680 --> 00:35:09,040
Speaker 10: four years ago is to a perfect example. As you know,

768
00:35:09,160 --> 00:35:11,640
Speaker 10: and as some of your listeners probably know, authors don't

769
00:35:11,640 --> 00:35:13,960
Speaker 10: even choose their own headlines. So the headline of it

770
00:35:14,040 --> 00:35:16,360
Speaker 10: send in the Troops was chosen by the liberals at

771
00:35:16,400 --> 00:35:18,319
Speaker 10: the New York Times, which the liberals at the New

772
00:35:18,360 --> 00:35:21,520
Speaker 10: York Times then revolted against because the OpEd, as you suggested,

773
00:35:21,560 --> 00:35:23,600
Speaker 10: it didn't even say send in the troops. It said

774
00:35:23,960 --> 00:35:26,640
Speaker 10: be prepared to send in the troops, be prepared to

775
00:35:26,680 --> 00:35:29,560
Speaker 10: call in the National Guard if law enforcement is overwhelmed

776
00:35:29,600 --> 00:35:32,800
Speaker 10: and needs assistance, and if necessary, to use the Insurrection

777
00:35:32,880 --> 00:35:35,320
Speaker 10: Act to restore law and order. It doesn't happen often

778
00:35:35,320 --> 00:35:37,560
Speaker 10: in our country's history, but it has been done from

779
00:35:37,600 --> 00:35:39,960
Speaker 10: time to time, like the Rodney King riots in nineteen

780
00:35:40,040 --> 00:35:43,080
Speaker 10: ninety one, or like in my state in the nineteen

781
00:35:43,120 --> 00:35:47,080
Speaker 10: fifties to enforce integration in Little Rock schools. So it

782
00:35:47,120 --> 00:35:50,800
Speaker 10: does have precedent. But because Donald Trump was president, liberals

783
00:35:50,840 --> 00:35:54,880
Speaker 10: at the New York Times couldn't contemplate using longstanding legal

784
00:35:54,920 --> 00:35:57,480
Speaker 10: authorities going back to the founding of the Republic in

785
00:35:57,520 --> 00:35:59,640
Speaker 10: ways that had been done before. And that's still the

786
00:35:59,680 --> 00:36:02,000
Speaker 10: case if you look on their websites today or read

787
00:36:02,000 --> 00:36:06,080
Speaker 10: their hardcopy editions. Now, the overall media landscape I think

788
00:36:06,160 --> 00:36:08,959
Speaker 10: has improved. I mean, for one, you have Elon Musk

789
00:36:08,960 --> 00:36:11,560
Speaker 10: who's bought X and has made it into a genuine

790
00:36:11,600 --> 00:36:15,040
Speaker 10: free speech platform. You don't have conservatives being censored right

791
00:36:15,080 --> 00:36:17,759
Speaker 10: now as happened four years ago. Today, if you tried

792
00:36:17,760 --> 00:36:20,040
Speaker 10: to share the story from the New York Post about

793
00:36:20,040 --> 00:36:23,040
Speaker 10: the Hunter Biden laptop, you have more podcasts, you have

794
00:36:23,160 --> 00:36:27,080
Speaker 10: more radio programs like yours. You have more ways through

795
00:36:27,080 --> 00:36:30,640
Speaker 10: different channels to reach the American people that is not

796
00:36:30,719 --> 00:36:33,080
Speaker 10: going to be filtered by the mainstream media. So even

797
00:36:33,120 --> 00:36:36,520
Speaker 10: as the New York Times and other outlets and networks

798
00:36:36,520 --> 00:36:39,360
Speaker 10: have gotten more biased, I do think that Rick and

799
00:36:39,480 --> 00:36:41,600
Speaker 10: Marco and I live in a time in which we

800
00:36:41,680 --> 00:36:44,920
Speaker 10: have more opportunities to speak to our voters and the

801
00:36:44,920 --> 00:36:46,920
Speaker 10: people that we served, and say Ronald Reagan did in

802
00:36:46,920 --> 00:36:48,160
Speaker 10: the nineteen eighties.

803
00:36:48,160 --> 00:36:52,319
Speaker 4: Speaking to Senator Cotton here, and Senator Cotton, if you

804
00:36:52,360 --> 00:36:56,360
Speaker 4: were to tell us where you think the Senate is

805
00:36:56,360 --> 00:36:59,799
Speaker 4: looking best for Republicans in battlegrounds, and if there's one

806
00:36:59,800 --> 00:37:02,640
Speaker 4: that mind where you think we could even get a surprise,

807
00:37:03,120 --> 00:37:06,040
Speaker 4: how would you see these races right now? Because it

808
00:37:06,080 --> 00:37:08,719
Speaker 4: feels like in a best case scenario, maybe Republicans get

809
00:37:08,880 --> 00:37:12,640
Speaker 4: fifty two fifty three, but there's some data indicating that

810
00:37:12,680 --> 00:37:14,719
Speaker 4: we might be able to pull out an extra seat

811
00:37:14,760 --> 00:37:17,160
Speaker 4: here or there. What are you seeing and what do

812
00:37:17,239 --> 00:37:19,839
Speaker 4: you think is critical for those Senate races in these

813
00:37:19,880 --> 00:37:20,840
Speaker 4: last couple of weeks.

814
00:37:21,000 --> 00:37:23,120
Speaker 10: Well, of course it looks best in Florida. Right here

815
00:37:23,200 --> 00:37:25,760
Speaker 10: in Florida for Rick Scott. I just add my voice

816
00:37:25,760 --> 00:37:27,480
Speaker 10: to Rick and Marco by the way, to please go

817
00:37:27,520 --> 00:37:29,200
Speaker 10: out and early vote, even if it's a right of

818
00:37:29,239 --> 00:37:32,320
Speaker 10: civic passage for you go on election day. Don't count

819
00:37:32,320 --> 00:37:35,279
Speaker 10: on life's contingencies, you know, don't risk getting sick or

820
00:37:35,320 --> 00:37:37,080
Speaker 10: having a sick kid or a sick mom, or having

821
00:37:37,120 --> 00:37:39,920
Speaker 10: a flat tire and emergency at work. And also for

822
00:37:40,040 --> 00:37:42,920
Speaker 10: all those who are very regular voters, if you vote early,

823
00:37:42,960 --> 00:37:46,240
Speaker 10: it allows rix campaign and President Trump's campaign to cross

824
00:37:46,280 --> 00:37:48,040
Speaker 10: you off the list and get voters who maybe don't

825
00:37:48,120 --> 00:37:50,520
Speaker 10: vote on every election. But I do think Rick is

826
00:37:50,520 --> 00:37:52,879
Speaker 10: going to win here in Florida. I think we'll hold

827
00:37:52,920 --> 00:37:55,200
Speaker 10: serve in all the states that we have, and then

828
00:37:55,320 --> 00:37:58,719
Speaker 10: I think it's just straight offensive pickups from there. West

829
00:37:58,800 --> 00:38:01,120
Speaker 10: Virginia is already in our hip hocket with Jim Justice

830
00:38:01,120 --> 00:38:04,279
Speaker 10: replacing Joe Manchin. I think Tim Sheehey is going to

831
00:38:04,280 --> 00:38:07,839
Speaker 10: beat John Tester in Montana and Shared Brown. I'm sorry,

832
00:38:08,480 --> 00:38:10,799
Speaker 10: Bernie Marino will beat Shared Brown in Ohio. Those are

833
00:38:10,920 --> 00:38:15,440
Speaker 10: Republican states, strong candidates who are exposing those Democrats as

834
00:38:15,560 --> 00:38:18,320
Speaker 10: Democrats who talk one way at home but then always

835
00:38:18,360 --> 00:38:21,720
Speaker 10: vote for Chuck Schumer and Joe Biden, Kamala Harrison Washington.

836
00:38:22,360 --> 00:38:23,960
Speaker 10: And then you have a series of states that are

837
00:38:24,000 --> 00:38:27,080
Speaker 10: also presidential swing states where we have great candidates who

838
00:38:27,160 --> 00:38:31,040
Speaker 10: are running for the most part against incumbents, where you

839
00:38:31,160 --> 00:38:33,880
Speaker 10: have again Democrats that vote one hundred percent of the

840
00:38:33,880 --> 00:38:36,839
Speaker 10: time for Joe Biden Kamala Harris when it matters. I've

841
00:38:36,880 --> 00:38:40,080
Speaker 10: been up with Dave McCormick in Pennsylvania running against Bob Casey,

842
00:38:40,239 --> 00:38:44,319
Speaker 10: and Eric Hovedy in Wisconsin running against Tammy Baldwin. As

843
00:38:44,400 --> 00:38:47,240
Speaker 10: Marco said earlier, it's remarkable to see these Democrats running

844
00:38:47,280 --> 00:38:50,200
Speaker 10: ads proclaiming their work with Donald Trump as if they

845
00:38:50,200 --> 00:38:53,000
Speaker 10: were best buds in Wingman, when in reality they voted

846
00:38:53,000 --> 00:38:55,719
Speaker 10: against his tax cuts, they vote against all three of

847
00:38:55,719 --> 00:38:58,239
Speaker 10: his Supreme Court justices, they voted to impeach him twice,

848
00:38:58,320 --> 00:39:00,000
Speaker 10: and if they got a chance again to do it again,

849
00:39:00,160 --> 00:39:02,200
Speaker 10: they'd vote to impeach him the next time, probably for

850
00:39:02,719 --> 00:39:04,960
Speaker 10: using the salad fork on the main course or changing

851
00:39:05,040 --> 00:39:08,400
Speaker 10: lane for them putting on his turn signal. In some states,

852
00:39:08,440 --> 00:39:11,040
Speaker 10: we've got open seats where we have great candidates as

853
00:39:11,040 --> 00:39:14,120
Speaker 10: well running to replace a retiring Democrat. That's the case

854
00:39:14,120 --> 00:39:17,800
Speaker 10: in Michigan with Mike Rodgers running against Alyssa Slotkin, another

855
00:39:17,840 --> 00:39:20,280
Speaker 10: down the line liberal for Joe Biden and Kamala Harris.

856
00:39:20,800 --> 00:39:23,080
Speaker 10: Or in Arizona where we have Kerry Lake trying to

857
00:39:23,080 --> 00:39:25,799
Speaker 10: pick up the seat currently held by kirston Cinema. And

858
00:39:25,840 --> 00:39:27,839
Speaker 10: I think we could surprise in some states as well.

859
00:39:28,160 --> 00:39:32,359
Speaker 10: Larry Hogan's the very popular former governor of Maryland who's

860
00:39:32,400 --> 00:39:35,680
Speaker 10: running a strong race. Even in New Mexico, Chuck Schumer

861
00:39:35,719 --> 00:39:37,319
Speaker 10: just announced that he was going to have to come

862
00:39:37,320 --> 00:39:40,000
Speaker 10: to the rescue of Martin Heinrich, a two term Democratic

863
00:39:40,000 --> 00:39:42,280
Speaker 10: center there. We've got Nella Diminici as a very strong

864
00:39:42,320 --> 00:39:45,560
Speaker 10: candidate in New Mexico. So I know that some people

865
00:39:45,640 --> 00:39:47,680
Speaker 10: like to be measured and say fifty two or fifty

866
00:39:47,680 --> 00:39:49,799
Speaker 10: three seats. I say, let's push you out as far

867
00:39:49,840 --> 00:39:52,440
Speaker 10: as we can go just not only for these next

868
00:39:52,480 --> 00:39:56,000
Speaker 10: two years to have a strong and governing conservative majority,

869
00:39:56,440 --> 00:39:59,760
Speaker 10: but to have a long term governing majority as well.

870
00:40:00,000 --> 00:40:02,000
Speaker 10: So whatever happens in the twenty sixth election or the

871
00:40:02,040 --> 00:40:04,600
Speaker 10: twenty eight election, we've done so well in this cycle

872
00:40:04,680 --> 00:40:06,680
Speaker 10: that we can hold on to the Senate for years

873
00:40:06,680 --> 00:40:07,040
Speaker 10: to come.

874
00:40:08,480 --> 00:40:11,120
Speaker 1: While we've been talking to all three of you, Senator Cotton,

875
00:40:11,239 --> 00:40:14,680
Speaker 1: Senator Scott, and Senator Rubio encouraging people to get out

876
00:40:14,719 --> 00:40:17,040
Speaker 1: and vote. Mourning numbers, I don't know if you've seen

877
00:40:17,040 --> 00:40:20,160
Speaker 1: these yet, Buck, have already been released for early voting

878
00:40:20,239 --> 00:40:26,680
Speaker 1: in Florida. Republicans up twenty six percent on early voting

879
00:40:26,920 --> 00:40:30,560
Speaker 1: in the morning in Florida right now, nearly one hundred

880
00:40:30,719 --> 00:40:35,680
Speaker 1: thousand Republicans have already gone and voted fifty thousand Democrats,

881
00:40:36,080 --> 00:40:39,879
Speaker 1: So a huge early sign of enthusiasm in the state

882
00:40:39,920 --> 00:40:42,920
Speaker 1: of Florida. Buck may join you in the afternoon. We

883
00:40:43,080 --> 00:40:45,680
Speaker 1: encourage all of you listening in Florida and elsewhere to

884
00:40:45,719 --> 00:40:49,800
Speaker 1: get out. But those numbers nearly a fifty thousand vote

885
00:40:49,840 --> 00:40:54,160
Speaker 1: advantage already for Republicans in the morning early vote in

886
00:40:54,239 --> 00:40:57,120
Speaker 1: the state of Florida. Run up those numbers even more.

887
00:40:57,160 --> 00:40:59,920
Speaker 1: Senator Cotton, I think you said off air that you're

888
00:41:00,080 --> 00:41:01,080
Speaker 1: Kansas City Chiefs fan.

889
00:41:01,160 --> 00:41:04,520
Speaker 2: Is that right? No, that was that was Rick Scott.

890
00:41:05,000 --> 00:41:07,000
Speaker 6: But oh Scott, he's.

891
00:41:06,920 --> 00:41:08,080
Speaker 2: Trying to claim the Chiefs.

892
00:41:08,080 --> 00:41:10,840
Speaker 3: They play at Florida team though I love all the

893
00:41:10,880 --> 00:41:12,640
Speaker 3: Florida teams.

894
00:41:13,120 --> 00:41:14,080
Speaker 2: Oh my goodness.

895
00:41:14,400 --> 00:41:17,960
Speaker 1: Well, the Razorbacks had a tough one, Senator Cotton against

896
00:41:18,120 --> 00:41:20,600
Speaker 1: LSU over the weekend, but they did beat my balls

897
00:41:20,640 --> 00:41:21,640

929
00:42:52,120 --> 00:42:56,600
Speaker 1: Welcome back in Clay Travis Buck Sexton Show. But Pittsburgh

930
00:42:56,640 --> 00:43:00,840
Speaker 1: Steelers rolled out Russell Wilson in front of Donald Trump

931
00:43:00,880 --> 00:43:03,239
Speaker 1: and Russell Wilson had a whale of a game. They

932
00:43:03,280 --> 00:43:05,839
Speaker 1: actually looked like they had an offense excited about that

933
00:43:06,040 --> 00:43:08,880
Speaker 1: is Steeler fans. Sean Parnell, who also hung out with

934
00:43:08,960 --> 00:43:12,279
Speaker 1: Donald Trump in the stadium on Sunday night, And I

935
00:43:12,280 --> 00:43:13,440
Speaker 1: want to start with this, Sean.

936
00:43:14,760 --> 00:43:16,680
Speaker 2: They show Taylor Swift.

937
00:43:16,800 --> 00:43:20,719
Speaker 1: Like every it feels like five minutes whenever she's in

938
00:43:20,760 --> 00:43:23,759
Speaker 1: the stands for a game. One of our writers at

939
00:43:23,760 --> 00:43:26,840
Speaker 1: out Kick, Bobby Barak, pointed out that they showed Trump

940
00:43:26,960 --> 00:43:30,719
Speaker 1: for a total on the NBC Sunday Night football broadcast

941
00:43:30,800 --> 00:43:34,320
Speaker 1: last night between the Jets and the Steelers four seconds

942
00:43:34,360 --> 00:43:38,919
Speaker 1: four seconds of airtime, which is just perfect. They didn't

943
00:43:38,920 --> 00:43:41,840
Speaker 1: even want to acknowledge that he was there. But what

944
00:43:42,040 --> 00:43:46,120
Speaker 1: did you see from the reaction of Steeler fans And

945
00:43:46,320 --> 00:43:49,400
Speaker 1: how do you think football fans in general are responding

946
00:43:49,440 --> 00:43:51,839
Speaker 1: to Trump? I was with him at Georgia, Alabama. I

947
00:43:51,880 --> 00:43:55,239
Speaker 1: know it was basically like you know, a concert, and

948
00:43:55,320 --> 00:43:58,080
Speaker 1: he was the star attraction. It was amazing how positive

949
00:43:58,120 --> 00:43:58,480
Speaker 1: it was.

950
00:43:58,960 --> 00:44:00,040
Speaker 2: What did you see.

951
00:43:59,840 --> 00:44:02,839
Speaker 1: In side of Pittsburgh Steelers Stadium last night?

952
00:44:03,840 --> 00:44:05,880
Speaker 5: Well, first of all, Clay, I just like to say,

953
00:44:05,920 --> 00:44:09,319
Speaker 5: how right I was that Russell Wilson should be the

954
00:44:09,360 --> 00:44:10,960
Speaker 5: starter on the Steelers.

955
00:44:11,000 --> 00:44:15,360
Speaker 2: I was very you sent the very very very clear.

956
00:44:16,040 --> 00:44:19,000
Speaker 5: But listen, I was kind of shocked last night because

957
00:44:19,040 --> 00:44:20,319
Speaker 5: I was in the booth that was a part of

958
00:44:20,360 --> 00:44:24,120
Speaker 5: all of it. Trump shows up at this at the game,

959
00:44:24,440 --> 00:44:27,200
Speaker 5: and and like you said with with Georgia Alabama, he

960
00:44:27,200 --> 00:44:31,280
Speaker 5: shows up. He's like the feature attraction at a rock concert.

961
00:44:31,800 --> 00:44:34,560
Speaker 5: And he he walks up to the to like, you know,

962
00:44:34,600 --> 00:44:36,400
Speaker 5: they have these and those boosts. You walk down a

963
00:44:36,400 --> 00:44:39,480
Speaker 5: couple steps and the crowds out there. It crowd just

964
00:44:39,719 --> 00:44:45,439
Speaker 5: goes absolutely insane. And to to Lamar, you're you're great

965
00:44:45,520 --> 00:44:49,600
Speaker 5: VIP member, He's exactly right. There wasn't a single boo

966
00:44:49,840 --> 00:44:52,360
Speaker 5: in that entire place. In fact, it was like the

967
00:44:52,440 --> 00:44:55,600
Speaker 5: crowd was as loud as they typically are during Renegade.

968
00:44:55,640 --> 00:44:57,120
Speaker 5: Of course they played Renegade at the start of the

969
00:44:57,120 --> 00:45:00,480
Speaker 5: third quarter every Steelers game. People were at the top

970
00:45:00,520 --> 00:45:03,960
Speaker 5: of their lungs chanting USA. They were, you know, twirling

971
00:45:04,120 --> 00:45:06,839
Speaker 5: terrible towels. It was crazy. And I was at the game,

972
00:45:06,880 --> 00:45:10,200
Speaker 5: so I wasn't really tracking, you know, how NBC was

973
00:45:10,239 --> 00:45:13,440
Speaker 5: showing and what they were showing. I just assumed that

974
00:45:14,280 --> 00:45:16,799
Speaker 5: of course they would want to show that what was

975
00:45:16,800 --> 00:45:19,800
Speaker 5: a very powerful moment in the stadium.

976
00:45:19,840 --> 00:45:20,640
Speaker 6: And then I got to thinking.

977
00:45:20,640 --> 00:45:22,239
Speaker 5: When I come home, people were texting me left and

978
00:45:22,280 --> 00:45:24,959
Speaker 5: right saying, I can't believe that NBC didn't show any

979
00:45:25,000 --> 00:45:28,480
Speaker 5: of it, hardly any of it. And you know, Democrat

980
00:45:28,600 --> 00:45:32,920
Speaker 5: or Republican, you know, college football or NFL football, you

981
00:45:32,960 --> 00:45:37,520
Speaker 5: would think that having a president, former president or potential

982
00:45:37,560 --> 00:45:41,480
Speaker 5: future president at your game would be an unbelievable honor.

983
00:45:41,480 --> 00:45:43,480
Speaker 5: And to your point, Clay, like you said, every ten

984
00:45:43,560 --> 00:45:48,000
Speaker 5: seconds were getting Taylor swift. And you know, if Kamala

985
00:45:48,040 --> 00:45:50,200
Speaker 5: is up in that booth, they'd have you know, she'd

986
00:45:50,239 --> 00:45:52,440
Speaker 5: be up there cackling the whole time. She would be

987
00:45:52,480 --> 00:45:55,080
Speaker 5: on NBC, much to the chagrin of all of America.

988
00:45:55,120 --> 00:45:57,960
Speaker 5: But you know, there's two different standards here, and to me,

989
00:45:58,040 --> 00:46:01,560
Speaker 5: it's just shameful. It's just shameful. I hated that it

990
00:46:01,600 --> 00:46:02,520
Speaker 5: had to happen that way.

991
00:46:03,520 --> 00:46:05,600
Speaker 4: Sean, good to have you as always, my friend, and

992

Speaker 6: Sean.

998
00:46:22,000 --> 00:46:25,560
Speaker 4: Take us into battlefield Pennsylvania right now. I mean, Florida's

999
00:46:25,640 --> 00:46:29,480
Speaker 4: joined today in the mix of places with early voting underway.

1000
00:46:29,560 --> 00:46:31,399
Speaker 4: So I've got to get out there now and get

1001
00:46:31,440 --> 00:46:33,880
Speaker 4: my vote in asap. I can't tell everybody else to

1002
00:46:33,880 --> 00:46:35,160
Speaker 4: do it if I'm not going to do it, So

1003
00:46:35,280 --> 00:46:37,759
Speaker 4: I'm on it. But how are things looking as of

1004
00:46:37,840 --> 00:46:40,839
Speaker 4: today in Pennsylvania? What's the data telling us?

1005
00:46:40,840 --> 00:46:40,960
Speaker 6: Then?

1006
00:46:41,000 --> 00:46:41,880
Speaker 2: What do you foresee?

1007
00:46:43,200 --> 00:46:46,160
Speaker 5: Well, first of all, things feel very different in Pennsylvania

1008
00:46:46,200 --> 00:46:47,759
Speaker 5: than they did in sixteen and than they did in

1009
00:46:47,840 --> 00:46:50,080
Speaker 5: twenty And look, I had my name on the ballot

1010
00:46:50,080 --> 00:46:52,920
Speaker 5: in twenty so I can speak directly to this. In

1011
00:46:53,000 --> 00:46:55,200
Speaker 5: twenty twenty, there was a ton of energy, but we

1012
00:46:55,440 --> 00:46:58,200
Speaker 5: just weren't as organized as we should be as it

1013
00:46:58,239 --> 00:47:00,920
Speaker 5: pertained to this whole mail in ballot craze. That was

1014
00:47:00,920 --> 00:47:03,279
Speaker 5: a course new in twenty twenty, it's not new now. Well,

1015
00:47:04,239 --> 00:47:10,160
Speaker 5: what we're seeing today just in the numbers are unbelievably encouraging,

1016
00:47:10,200 --> 00:47:13,480
Speaker 5: and the numbers don't lie. As of last week, over

1017
00:47:13,480 --> 00:47:17,320
Speaker 5: the course of the last seven days ballot requests by party.

1018
00:47:17,440 --> 00:47:20,760
Speaker 5: For Republicans, Okay, just think about this. In twenty twenty,

1019
00:47:21,120 --> 00:47:23,719
Speaker 5: over the last seven days, the Democrats were beating us

1020
00:47:23,719 --> 00:47:27,200
Speaker 5: by thirty five thousand mail in ballot requests. In twenty

1021
00:47:27,239 --> 00:47:30,040
Speaker 5: twenty two, they were beating us by twenty eight thousand

1022
00:47:30,120 --> 00:47:33,000
Speaker 5: over the course of seven days mail in ballot requests.

1023
00:47:33,320 --> 00:47:35,600
Speaker 5: In twenty twenty four, over the last seven days, we

1024
00:47:35,680 --> 00:47:37,520
Speaker 5: are beating them by four thousand.

1025
00:47:38,400 --> 00:47:38,680
Speaker 6: You know.

1026
00:47:39,040 --> 00:47:42,719
Speaker 5: And in twenty twenty the Democrats had a million person

1027
00:47:43,120 --> 00:47:47,560
Speaker 5: lead with mail in ballots, and today that number is

1028
00:47:47,719 --> 00:47:50,320
Speaker 5: just three hundred thousand. And for folks who are listening,

1029
00:47:50,719 --> 00:47:52,840
Speaker 5: you might think three hundred thousand is a big number,

1030
00:47:52,840 --> 00:47:56,520
Speaker 5: but a million is a lot bigger. And the Democrats

1031
00:47:56,640 --> 00:47:59,360
Speaker 5: need the firewall that they had in twenty twenty. In

1032
00:47:59,440 --> 00:48:01,400
Speaker 5: order to win, they're going to have to spend a

1033
00:48:01,440 --> 00:48:03,040
Speaker 5: heck of a lot more money trying to get their

1034
00:48:03,080 --> 00:48:06,080
Speaker 5: people to the polls. And for Democrats that's always a

1035
00:48:06,120 --> 00:48:09,040
Speaker 5: tougher hill to climb than it is for Republicans. And

1036
00:48:09,160 --> 00:48:12,120
Speaker 5: this is just hot off the presses today that as

1037
00:48:12,160 --> 00:48:15,040
Speaker 5: of right now, we have added one hundred and ninety

1038
00:48:15,080 --> 00:48:18,640
Speaker 5: nine thousand, five hundred and sixty eight new permanent vote

1039
00:48:18,640 --> 00:48:22,160
Speaker 5: by mail voters. Okay, that is significant. We're going to

1040
00:48:22,200 --> 00:48:25,400
Speaker 5: cross two hundred thousand tomorrow. But not only will this

1041
00:48:25,440 --> 00:48:28,440
Speaker 5: pay dividends down at the top of the ticket, but

1042
00:48:28,480 --> 00:48:32,560
Speaker 5: down the ballot in this cycle, but moving forward, every local,

1043
00:48:32,800 --> 00:48:35,200
Speaker 5: state and federal officeholder moving forward would be in a

1044
00:48:35,280 --> 00:48:38,560
Speaker 5: far better place in Pennsylvania than they ever have been before.

1045
00:48:39,040 --> 00:48:44,239
Speaker 5: So I'm extraordinarily optimistic on this state and this is

1046
00:48:44,560 --> 00:48:46,839
Speaker 5: and look, I say that with caution, because we've got

1047
00:48:46,840 --> 00:48:49,279
Speaker 5: a campaign like we're ten points down, we've got a

1048
00:48:49,320 --> 00:48:52,600
Speaker 5: sprint to the finish. But Trump is you know, he's

1049
00:48:52,640 --> 00:48:55,480
Speaker 5: running a disciplined operation at the top of the ticket.

1050
00:48:55,880 --> 00:49:00,200
Speaker 5: With McCormick just below him, adds an unbelievable synergy to

1051
00:49:00,239 --> 00:49:02,680
Speaker 5: the ticket. You have a more sort of establishment Republican

1052
00:49:02,680 --> 00:49:05,200
Speaker 5: and Dave McCormick and you have Trump is just, you know,

1053
00:49:05,200 --> 00:49:08,440
Speaker 5: the most electrifying political candidate of my lifetime. Trump is Trump.

1054
00:49:08,480 --> 00:49:11,800
Speaker 5: Those two on the ticket bring out the right combo

1055
00:49:11,880 --> 00:49:15,560
Speaker 5: of voters that I think will I think will lead

1056
00:49:15,640 --> 00:49:18,359
Speaker 5: us to victory on election day. And if we win here,

1057
00:49:18,440 --> 00:49:20,720
Speaker 5: we save this country. Because of course there's a ninety

1058
00:49:20,760 --> 00:49:22,640
Speaker 5: six percent chance that we go back to the White

1059
00:49:22,640 --> 00:49:24,520
Speaker 5: House if we win Pennsylvania.

1060
00:49:25,120 --> 00:49:28,560
Speaker 1: Sean, you just hit on that's the sort of overall

1061
00:49:28,640 --> 00:49:31,560
Speaker 1: vibe and some data, and I would just add in

1062
00:49:31,600 --> 00:49:36,640
Speaker 1: the Cook Political Report today, move to Dave McCormick into

1063
00:49:36,880 --> 00:49:40,600
Speaker 1: the straight toss up. And you know this better than anybody.

1064
00:49:40,640 --> 00:49:44,600
Speaker 1: But when you're watching all these ads, suddenly Casey is

1065
00:49:44,640 --> 00:49:47,240
Speaker 1: trying to run ads saying, hey, I'll work really well

1066
00:49:47,280 --> 00:49:50,880
Speaker 1: with Donald Trump. Same thing as happening in Michigan, Pennsylvania,

1067
00:49:50,920 --> 00:49:55,319
Speaker 1: and Wisconsin. If Kamala were dominating in those states, there's

1068
00:49:55,400 --> 00:49:59,120
Speaker 1: no way the Democrat senators would be including Donald Trump

1069
00:49:59,120 --> 00:50:01,839
Speaker 1: in their ads right now. Right That's a sign that

1070
00:50:01,880 --> 00:50:05,520
Speaker 1: she's not performing very resolutely. I'm so glad that you

1071
00:50:05,560 --> 00:50:07,799
Speaker 1: brought that up, because if you're a candidate running state

1072
00:50:07,840 --> 00:50:11,720
Speaker 1: wide in any swing state, you have a phase line

1073
00:50:11,800 --> 00:50:15,400
Speaker 1: red where if the top of the ticket is sinking you,

1074
00:50:15,840 --> 00:50:17,960
Speaker 1: there comes a point in time in your race where

1075
00:50:18,000 --> 00:50:21,759
Speaker 1: you have to say, I'm covering myself and I'm discarding

1076
00:50:21,800 --> 00:50:24,680
Speaker 1: the top of the ticket. Bob Casey and his team,

1077
00:50:24,719 --> 00:50:29,160
Speaker 1: and not only that, but Tammy Baldwin in Wisconsin at

1078
00:50:29,239 --> 00:50:32,160
Speaker 1: least Lotkin and Michigan are probably in the same spot

1079
00:50:32,160 --> 00:50:33,960
Speaker 1: where they're saying, I've got to discard the top of

1080
00:50:34,000 --> 00:50:37,920
Speaker 1: the ticket and save myself. Now, put yourself in Democrat

1081
00:50:38,080 --> 00:50:40,880
Speaker 1: donor shoes who want to be contributing to Kamala in

1082
00:50:40,920 --> 00:50:43,040
Speaker 1: these last eighteen or so days to try to get

1083
00:50:43,040 --> 00:50:47,000
Speaker 1: her across the finish line. She's being cast aside by

1084
00:50:47,120 --> 00:50:51,080
Speaker 1: senators in swing states incumbent senators in swing states, which

1085
00:50:51,120 --> 00:50:53,000
Speaker 1: means that they see at the top of the ticket

1086
00:50:53,040 --> 00:50:55,759
Speaker 1: a trend that is not going to be reversible. Now,

1087
00:50:55,800 --> 00:50:58,520
Speaker 1: I say that with caution, we campaign like we're ten

1088
00:50:58,560 --> 00:51:01,880
Speaker 1: points down. But of course you saw I'm sure you

1089
00:51:01,880 --> 00:51:05,120
Speaker 1: saw the news from I think NBC reported that Joe

1090
00:51:05,160 --> 00:51:06,799
Speaker 1: Biden's not going to be appearing with her on the

1091
00:51:06,800 --> 00:51:09,440
Speaker 1: campaign trail anymore. Yeah, there's a reason for this.

1092
00:51:09,960 --> 00:51:13,560
Speaker 5: It seems like that leaders and the Democrat Party are

1093
00:51:13,600 --> 00:51:16,279
Speaker 5: cutting sling load on Kamala Harris. I'm not saying that

1094
00:51:16,320 --> 00:51:19,640
Speaker 5: she can't win, but things don't look good for her

1095
00:51:19,719 --> 00:51:22,120
Speaker 5: right now and people are starting to see it.

1096
00:51:23,120 --> 00:51:26,040
Speaker 4: How is the Casey campaign trying to position itself here

1097
00:51:26,040 --> 00:51:28,400
Speaker 4: in Pennsylvania, Shawn in these last couple of weeks up

1098
00:51:28,440 --> 00:51:32,600
Speaker 4: against Dave McCormick. I'm assuming, you know, we just had

1099
00:51:32,640 --> 00:51:35,880
Speaker 4: three senators here with us in South Florida in studio,

1100
00:51:36,880 --> 00:51:41,439
Speaker 4: Marco Rubio, Tom Cotton, and Rick Scott, right, and we're

1101
00:51:41,440 --> 00:51:43,840
Speaker 4: talking about the Senate races, and one thing that just

1102
00:51:43,920 --> 00:51:47,120
Speaker 4: keeps coming up is in every tight Senate race, the

1103
00:51:47,200 --> 00:51:50,800
Speaker 4: Democrat just basically pretends that they're not really a Democrat.

1104
00:51:50,800 --> 00:51:51,759
Speaker 6: They're like something else.

1105
00:51:51,840 --> 00:51:54,759
Speaker 11: You know, I'm a maverick, I go rogue, I'm sort

1106
00:51:54,800 --> 00:51:58,280
Speaker 11: of an independent leading Democrat. Is is that the Casey

1107
00:51:58,320 --> 00:52:01,440
Speaker 11: playbook or is it just he so known and entrenched

1108
00:52:01,440 --> 00:52:03,439
Speaker 11: in the state that he thinks the machine can carry

1109
00:52:03,520 --> 00:52:04,120
Speaker 11: him across.

1110
00:52:05,200 --> 00:52:08,319
Speaker 5: Well. Casey's is an interesting case because Casey is the

1111
00:52:08,320 --> 00:52:11,480
Speaker 5: son of a well known conservative Democrat and well liked

1112
00:52:11,480 --> 00:52:14,839
Speaker 5: conservative Democrat governor. A lot of people in this state,

1113
00:52:14,960 --> 00:52:18,359
Speaker 5: especially older folks, think that Bob Casey Junior is Bob

1114
00:52:18,440 --> 00:52:21,200
Speaker 5: Casey Senior. They're two very different people with two very

1115
00:52:21,200 --> 00:52:25,839
Speaker 5: different voting records. But Bob Casey right now is basically

1116
00:52:26,200 --> 00:52:28,880
Speaker 5: in the ads that he's running and here, interestingly enough,

1117
00:52:29,280 --> 00:52:34,480
Speaker 5: in every media market except Philadelphia is running ads, you know,

1118
00:52:34,600 --> 00:52:39,120
Speaker 5: seven figures of ads basically positioning himself as a Trump Democrat.

1119
00:52:39,600 --> 00:52:41,600
Speaker 5: And and look, I've said it before, and I'll say

1120
00:52:41,640 --> 00:52:43,840
Speaker 5: to go on your show, Pennsylvania closes late and fast

1121
00:52:44,280 --> 00:52:47,440
Speaker 5: if you look at the internal polling and with leaners,

1122
00:52:47,480 --> 00:52:49,839
Speaker 5: and so with leaners are like people that are undecided,

1123
00:52:50,160 --> 00:52:51,879
Speaker 5: but you push them a little bit and you say,

1124
00:52:51,920 --> 00:52:54,319
Speaker 5: if you had to make a decision today, who would

1125
00:52:54,360 --> 00:52:59,239
Speaker 5: it be. What we're seeing in internal polls is two

1126
00:52:59,320 --> 00:53:04,120
Speaker 5: to one people independents that have undecided, two to one

1127
00:53:04,160 --> 00:53:07,080
Speaker 5: people breaking for Republicans. And that's why you've seen an

1128
00:53:07,080 --> 00:53:11,280
Speaker 5: atlas in Trafalgar Dave McCormick take a lead over Bob

1129
00:53:11,320 --> 00:53:13,640
Speaker 5: Casey in these last two weeks of the election, and

1130
00:53:13,680 --> 00:53:16,680
Speaker 5: Trump expands his lead. Again say all this with caution.

1131
00:53:16,960 --> 00:53:19,640
Speaker 5: We got to execute. But the trends are moving in

1132
00:53:19,680 --> 00:53:22,480
Speaker 5: the right direction for Republicans and I'm very, very excited

1133
00:53:22,480 --> 00:53:22,880
Speaker 5: about it.

1134
00:53:24,000 --> 00:53:26,360
Speaker 1: What did you think of Trump in Bucks County, PA?

1135
00:53:26,400 --> 00:53:28,759
Speaker 1: And McDonald's. We had a lot of fun starting off

1136
00:53:28,800 --> 00:53:31,400
Speaker 1: the show talking about this, But not only did it

1137
00:53:31,800 --> 00:53:35,239
Speaker 1: raise issues about whether Kamala ever worked in McDonald's, it

1138
00:53:35,280 --> 00:53:38,000
Speaker 1: also was super fun. I mean a press conference from

1139
00:53:38,040 --> 00:53:41,600
Speaker 1: the drive through, I mean the viral videos Margo with

1140
00:53:41,680 --> 00:53:44,319
Speaker 1: the Trump campaign getting those outside by side with him.

1141
00:53:44,320 --> 00:53:48,040
Speaker 1: It looked fantastic and it's driven the left crazy that

1142
00:53:48,080 --> 00:53:51,439
Speaker 1: Trump did this, But man, I just think it's even

1143
00:53:51,560 --> 00:53:56,200
Speaker 1: greater example of his ability to tap right into the

1144
00:53:56,239 --> 00:53:59,799
Speaker 1: heart of fun but also trolling at the same time.

1145
00:54:00,040 --> 00:54:01,160
Speaker 2: It felt perfect.

1146
00:54:02,000 --> 00:54:05,080
Speaker 5: He's the best retail retail campaigner I've seen in just

1147
00:54:05,120 --> 00:54:07,560
Speaker 5: a very long time. And the left is just going

1148
00:54:07,600 --> 00:54:11,600
Speaker 5: crazy over it because they know that Kamala cannot do

1149
00:54:11,840 --> 00:54:14,239
Speaker 5: what Trump does and they hate it, like there is

1150
00:54:14,560 --> 00:54:18,279
Speaker 5: no way that Kamala Harris could walk into McDonald's and

1151
00:54:18,360 --> 00:54:20,600
Speaker 5: operate a fry cook and that hang out the window.

1152
00:54:20,719 --> 00:54:22,640
Speaker 5: That picture of Trump out the drive through with the

1153
00:54:22,719 --> 00:54:25,320
Speaker 5: like little apron on and the tie waving to somebody.

1154
00:54:25,680 --> 00:54:28,000
Speaker 5: I thought when I saw that image, I'm like, this

1155
00:54:28,040 --> 00:54:30,160
Speaker 5: is the guy that they're trying to paint this hitler.

1156
00:54:30,239 --> 00:54:33,760
Speaker 5: Give me a break. This is absolutely ridiculous, And again,

1157
00:54:34,040 --> 00:54:36,399
Speaker 5: what a genius move to draw attention to the fact

1158
00:54:36,440 --> 00:54:39,960
Speaker 5: that Kamala Harris lied about working at McDonald's. Of course

1159
00:54:39,960 --> 00:54:43,440
Speaker 5: there's no record of her ever working there, but also

1160
00:54:43,560 --> 00:54:46,440
Speaker 5: the crowd in the optics of that event, you know,

1161
00:54:46,480 --> 00:54:48,800
Speaker 5: the media out there saying, oh, this is a bizarre

1162
00:54:48,920 --> 00:54:52,240
Speaker 5: photo op. It was not a bizarre photo op. Trump

1163
00:54:52,280 --> 00:54:54,759
Speaker 5: connects with people in a way that the left just

1164
00:54:54,880 --> 00:54:57,920
Speaker 5: cannot understand, working class Americans, in a way that this

1165
00:54:58,200 --> 00:55:01,839
Speaker 5: just escapes them. And of course ten thousand people outside

1166
00:55:02,320 --> 00:55:05,160
Speaker 5: just speak to the power. When I say that, of

1167
00:55:05,200 --> 00:55:08,120
Speaker 5: course I'm a Trump guy and I'm honest about that.

1168
00:55:08,760 --> 00:55:11,680
Speaker 5: But when I say he's the most electrifying political candidate

1169
00:55:11,719 --> 00:55:15,200
Speaker 5: of my lifetime, this is exactly what I mean. He's

1170
00:55:15,239 --> 00:55:18,080
Speaker 5: working hard for every single vote and when you get

1171
00:55:18,080 --> 00:55:20,400
Speaker 5: an opportunity to meet Trump, and I know that you

1172
00:55:20,480 --> 00:55:23,480
Speaker 5: both have had this opportunity. But for those who are listening,

1173
00:55:24,000 --> 00:55:28,319
Speaker 5: he's impossible. Not he's impossible to dislike. He is just

1174
00:55:28,880 --> 00:55:33,600
Speaker 5: he's kind. If the media actually gave him a fair shake,

1175
00:55:33,680 --> 00:55:36,320
Speaker 5: he would be running away with this thing by ten points.

1176
00:55:36,360 --> 00:55:38,799
Speaker 5: But I mean that photo op at McDonald's, I mean,

1177
00:55:38,840 --> 00:55:41,360
Speaker 5: to me, it's just historic and hysterical and fun. And

1178
00:55:41,400 --> 00:55:43,840
Speaker 5: I think people want fun and want a little optimism

1179
00:55:43,880 --> 00:55:45,520
Speaker 5: in their lives today, that's for sure.

1180
00:55:45,960 --> 00:55:46,280
Speaker 6: Sean.

1181
00:55:46,280 --> 00:55:48,120
Speaker 1: As we get let's go ahead, Clutch, I was just

1182
00:55:48,120 --> 00:55:50,120
Speaker 1: gonna hit you. I just saw this come across. A

1183
00:55:50,280 --> 00:55:51,920
Speaker 1: credit to people who sent this to me, you're a

1184
00:55:51,960 --> 00:55:55,080
Speaker 1: Steeler fan. I don't know if you saw this. ESPN

1185
00:55:55,160 --> 00:56:00,360
Speaker 1: employee Ryan Clark tweeted former Pittsburgh Steelers split on the

1186
00:56:00,360 --> 00:56:04,840
Speaker 1: presidential election. One side has mean Joe Green, Jerome Bettis,

1187
00:56:04,880 --> 00:56:08,439
Speaker 1: and the family of Franco Harris supporting her. The other

1188
00:56:08,640 --> 00:56:12,200
Speaker 1: has Trump Is being supported by Leveon Bell and Antonio Brown.

1189
00:56:12,600 --> 00:56:18,200
Speaker 1: He said, different class of folks for sure. I mean,

1190
00:56:18,239 --> 00:56:22,440
Speaker 1: you're a Steeler fan to go after Trump supporting former

1191
00:56:22,520 --> 00:56:25,960
Speaker 1: players and say that they're a different class of people,

1192
00:56:26,200 --> 00:56:28,520
Speaker 1: I mean that that's I mean, what's your reaction as

1193
00:56:28,520 --> 00:56:29,239
Speaker 1: a Steeler fan?

1194
00:56:29,719 --> 00:56:32,799
Speaker 5: Well, it's just this this okay, So as a Steelers fan,

1195
00:56:32,840 --> 00:56:36,560
Speaker 5: this is another perfect example of how to the left,

1196
00:56:37,080 --> 00:56:41,920
Speaker 5: politics trump everything else, even personal relationships and the bonds

1197
00:56:41,920 --> 00:56:44,960
Speaker 5: that they share as teammates. Like you would like I

1198
00:56:45,640 --> 00:56:48,480
Speaker 5: my whole life, I've been friends with people on the left,

1199
00:56:48,800 --> 00:56:52,479
Speaker 5: but today, like I think those very same people would

1200
00:56:52,560 --> 00:56:55,440
Speaker 5: not want nothing to do with me now. And again,

1201
00:56:55,640 --> 00:57:00,080
Speaker 5: the left just worships everything. Politics is their religion, and

1202
00:57:00,719 --> 00:57:04,160
Speaker 5: you can't you can't walk outside of that without being

1203
00:57:04,160 --> 00:57:06,240
Speaker 5: cast aside. And I think that's what you're seeing right now.

1204
00:57:07,640 --> 00:57:10,960
Speaker 5: Anyone on the left just They just cannot fathom that

1205
00:57:11,120 --> 00:57:16,479
Speaker 5: people would support Donald Trump. They can't fathom that any

1206
00:57:16,720 --> 00:57:20,760
Speaker 5: anybody that has ever had any sort of success in

1207
00:57:20,800 --> 00:57:23,880
Speaker 5: their life, a member of the elites in this society,

1208
00:57:24,560 --> 00:57:27,960
Speaker 5: would support Donald Trump. It's just crazy to me, Clay

1209
00:57:28,440 --> 00:57:31,040
Speaker 5: that the left just can't help themselves and being as

1210
00:57:31,040 --> 00:57:33,600
Speaker 5: divisive as humanly possible. You would think he'd come out

1211
00:57:33,640 --> 00:57:36,200
Speaker 5: and say, hey, look, that was a pretty amazing thing

1212
00:57:36,240 --> 00:57:37,920
Speaker 5: to see at a Steeler game as a Steeler. That

1213
00:57:37,960 --> 00:57:40,480
Speaker 5: gives me pride in my team, something general like that.

1214
00:57:40,920 --> 00:57:44,440
Speaker 5: But no, he Hey, Antonio Brown, Levy Unbell, you support Trump,

1215
00:57:44,520 --> 00:57:47,040
Speaker 5: so you're out of the families essentially, what he's saying,

1216
00:57:47,080 --> 00:57:47,960
Speaker 5: it's ridiculous.

1217
00:57:48,720 --> 00:57:52,080
Speaker 1: Sean Parnell, outstanding stuff. Get out the votes in Pennsylvania.

1218
00:57:52,200 --> 00:57:52,680
Speaker 2: Let's win.

1219
00:57:52,760 --> 00:57:55,600
Speaker 1: And like you said, if Pennsylvania goes Trump, if Pennsylvania

1220
00:57:55,680 --> 00:58:00,760
Speaker 1: goes for the Senate candidate of our choice, then man,

1221
00:58:00,800 --> 00:58:06,040
Speaker 1: everything flips overnight. Appreciate the time. I'm man yep, take care, guys.

1222
00:58:06,800 --> 00:58:10,000
Speaker 1: That's Dave McCormick and Trump. Go vote for both. Tunnel

1223
00:58:10,000 --> 00:58:12,440
Speaker 1: of Towers Foundation has two missions. Ones to help the

1224
00:58:12,480 --> 00:58:15,960
Speaker 1: families have fallen and severely injured. First, responders. Second, to

1225
00:58:16,000 --> 00:58:18,720
Speaker 1: make sure our nation never forgets events like nine to eleven.

1226
00:58:18,840 --> 00:58:22,280
Speaker 1: They do that by honoring military veterans like US Army

1227
00:58:22,320 --> 00:58:25,760
Speaker 1: specialist Brett Menard. He's now living in a new, mortgage

1228
00:58:25,800 --> 00:58:28,640
Speaker 1: free smart home in Florida. Brett was motivated by the

1229
00:58:28,680 --> 00:58:31,240
Speaker 1: events of nine to eleven and enlisted in the US Army.

1230
00:58:31,320 --> 00:58:34,920
Speaker 1: While on a road clearance mission in Afghanistan, Brett's vehicle

1231
00:58:35,000 --> 00:58:38,080
Speaker 1: was blown up by an improvised explosive device that is

1232
00:58:38,120 --> 00:58:43,280
