1 00:00:00,280 --> 00:00:02,600 Speaker 1: I'm never gonna lie to you. The red wave was 2 00:00:02,640 --> 00:00:05,840 Speaker 1: not a red wave as it's been described by several 3 00:00:05,840 --> 00:00:08,440 Speaker 1: people I know well. It was a low tide. Election 4 00:00:08,640 --> 00:00:11,720 Speaker 1: night was more of a shock than it was exciting. 5 00:00:12,640 --> 00:00:17,280 Speaker 1: Republicans are, at least at this point this morning, favored 6 00:00:17,320 --> 00:00:21,840 Speaker 1: to take the House. The Senate is very very tight. 7 00:00:22,720 --> 00:00:31,200 Speaker 1: Why Democrats one in Colorado, New Hampshire, Pennsylvania, and Washington State. 8 00:00:31,960 --> 00:00:37,080 Speaker 1: GOP had good wins in the Senate in North Carolina, Ohio, 9 00:00:37,479 --> 00:00:40,919 Speaker 1: in Florida. Then there's four states, so this is all 10 00:00:40,960 --> 00:00:46,080 Speaker 1: going to come down to It's gonna come down to Wisconsin, Georgia, Nevada, 11 00:00:46,159 --> 00:00:52,480 Speaker 1: and Alaska. The Dems are also ahead in Arizona. Let's 12 00:00:52,479 --> 00:00:54,200 Speaker 1: look at the map when it comes to where we 13 00:00:54,240 --> 00:00:58,600 Speaker 1: are right now. Republicans are at forty eight seats in 14 00:00:58,720 --> 00:01:03,040 Speaker 1: the Senate. Democrats are at forty eight seats in the Senate. 15 00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:07,400 Speaker 1: On the House side, there are sixty four seats left 16 00:01:07,440 --> 00:01:11,840 Speaker 1: in play. That is of seven o'clock am Central time. 17 00:01:13,440 --> 00:01:16,080 Speaker 1: These numbers will change, but there are sixty four House 18 00:01:16,080 --> 00:01:18,919 Speaker 1: seats left in play that the Democrats have one hundred 19 00:01:18,920 --> 00:01:23,040 Speaker 1: and seventy two seats, Republicans one hundred and ninety nine. 20 00:01:23,600 --> 00:01:27,880 Speaker 1: So let's look at the takeaway of pickups. In the House. 21 00:01:28,319 --> 00:01:33,240 Speaker 1: Democrats have flipped three seats from Republican to Democrat. Those 22 00:01:33,560 --> 00:01:38,200 Speaker 1: mostly are connected to redistricting where there were districts that 23 00:01:38,280 --> 00:01:40,960 Speaker 1: were changed, and that's why they were able to pick 24 00:01:41,040 --> 00:01:44,760 Speaker 1: up two of the three, not necessarily upsets. Want to 25 00:01:44,800 --> 00:01:49,240 Speaker 1: make that clear. Then you have Republicans that so far 26 00:01:49,280 --> 00:01:53,600 Speaker 1: I have flipped nine different seats in the House side. 27 00:01:54,280 --> 00:01:57,000 Speaker 1: You need two eighteen for the majority. In the House, 28 00:01:57,120 --> 00:01:59,720 Speaker 1: we sit at one ninety nine Republicans to one seventy 29 00:01:59,720 --> 00:02:03,880 Speaker 1: eight Democrats. What's shocking is where we are on the 30 00:02:03,920 --> 00:02:07,640 Speaker 1: Senate side. You have forty eight seats for the Democrats, 31 00:02:07,720 --> 00:02:10,519 Speaker 1: forty eight seats to the Republicans, and at this point, 32 00:02:11,040 --> 00:02:15,280 Speaker 1: the day after election day, right now, Democrats are the 33 00:02:15,320 --> 00:02:19,600 Speaker 1: ones that actually have picked up a seat in the Senate. 34 00:02:20,400 --> 00:02:25,240 Speaker 1: Let's talk about the biggest shock of the night, and 35 00:02:25,280 --> 00:02:27,799 Speaker 1: I think that's the only way that we can describe 36 00:02:27,880 --> 00:02:34,560 Speaker 1: what this is. Fetterman winning that race there over, Doctor 37 00:02:34,600 --> 00:02:41,200 Speaker 1: Oz tells you something significant about this election cycle. It 38 00:02:41,360 --> 00:02:44,800 Speaker 1: tells you that if you pick a bad candidate, you 39 00:02:44,880 --> 00:02:48,000 Speaker 1: might be able to get him through the midterms by 40 00:02:48,639 --> 00:02:53,240 Speaker 1: coming in and really getting people partisan. And what I'm 41 00:02:53,280 --> 00:02:57,200 Speaker 1: referencing is Donald Trump. Donald Trump wanted fetterman, and he 42 00:02:57,280 --> 00:03:00,280 Speaker 1: wanted to flex his muscles improve that he can turn 43 00:03:00,320 --> 00:03:02,200 Speaker 1: a guy that's not even willing to give up his 44 00:03:02,240 --> 00:03:07,320 Speaker 1: American citizenship unless or excuse me, his citizenship in another 45 00:03:07,400 --> 00:03:12,079 Speaker 1: country to solely be an American citizen. Unless he won 46 00:03:12,160 --> 00:03:16,040 Speaker 1: the Senate race, which is a problem. He wanted to 47 00:03:16,080 --> 00:03:17,679 Speaker 1: prove that he could get him over the finish line 48 00:03:17,680 --> 00:03:20,160 Speaker 1: in the primary, and he did it. Donald Trump's able 49 00:03:20,200 --> 00:03:24,160 Speaker 1: to pick candidates in primaries. The problem is he wasn't 50 00:03:24,200 --> 00:03:26,280 Speaker 1: able to get his candidates over the line in the 51 00:03:26,320 --> 00:03:30,320 Speaker 1: general election. He went to war with a Republican and 52 00:03:30,480 --> 00:03:35,960 Speaker 1: Colorado for example there, Yes, that was a problem, and 53 00:03:36,040 --> 00:03:41,320 Speaker 1: now the Democrats have control of Colorado. But the cautionary tale, 54 00:03:41,360 --> 00:03:43,840 Speaker 1: the takeaway from the night for me is the Doctor 55 00:03:43,880 --> 00:03:48,040 Speaker 1: Oz race. Just because you can get a guy to 56 00:03:48,120 --> 00:03:50,560 Speaker 1: win a primary doesn't mean he's gonna win a general. 57 00:03:51,560 --> 00:03:55,520 Speaker 1: Doctor Oz was a bad candidate. The other candidate that 58 00:03:55,600 --> 00:03:57,720 Speaker 1: ran against him in the primary, which barely lost It 59 00:03:57,760 --> 00:04:00,160 Speaker 1: was down to a handful of votes a thou and 60 00:04:00,240 --> 00:04:02,080 Speaker 1: votes in the state where there were millions of votes. 61 00:04:02,160 --> 00:04:07,680 Speaker 1: Casts I think clearly would have overwhelmingly beat Fetterman. But 62 00:04:07,840 --> 00:04:11,040 Speaker 1: Oz was a guy that did not excite Republicans. Why 63 00:04:11,120 --> 00:04:13,240 Speaker 1: because they just didn't trust him. They didn't think he 64 00:04:13,320 --> 00:04:16,720 Speaker 1: was very authentic. They thought he might be wolf in 65 00:04:16,800 --> 00:04:22,400 Speaker 1: sheep's clothes. The voters had major concerns over Oz because 66 00:04:22,400 --> 00:04:27,360 Speaker 1: they didn't believe he was a true conservative. Yes, he 67 00:04:27,400 --> 00:04:31,120 Speaker 1: got through the primary, but the fact that he couldn't 68 00:04:31,160 --> 00:04:35,640 Speaker 1: beat someone that was clearly mentally mentally incapacitated due to 69 00:04:35,760 --> 00:04:39,280 Speaker 1: the stroke. A guy that started off a debate by 70 00:04:39,320 --> 00:04:43,200 Speaker 1: saying goodnight in one maybe not one of the worst 71 00:04:44,160 --> 00:04:49,200 Speaker 1: debate I have ever seen in my entire life, tells 72 00:04:49,240 --> 00:04:53,960 Speaker 1: you that candidate's election is extremely important. Now, before I 73 00:04:54,000 --> 00:04:55,840 Speaker 1: get into more of this story, I want to say 74 00:04:55,880 --> 00:04:58,480 Speaker 1: thank you and tell you about our good friends at Turtlebox. 75 00:04:58,800 --> 00:05:01,039 Speaker 1: If you love to be out side and listen to music, 76 00:05:01,320 --> 00:05:04,360 Speaker 1: if you're looking for the perfect gift for any outdoorsman 77 00:05:04,440 --> 00:05:06,880 Speaker 1: in your life, then you need to buy the loudest, 78 00:05:07,040 --> 00:05:12,760 Speaker 1: truly portable, waterproof blue two speaker that there is.

Turtlebox Audio dot Com used 91 00:06:00,440 --> 00:06:05,600 Speaker 1: the promo code Ben. There were other candidates, and we 92 00:06:05,640 --> 00:06:08,160 Speaker 1: saw this around the country that yes, you could get 93 00:06:08,200 --> 00:06:11,479 Speaker 1: them through a primary with the endorsement Donald Trump, but 94 00:06:11,560 --> 00:06:15,120 Speaker 1: did they get you to the victory. Another example of 95 00:06:15,160 --> 00:06:18,720 Speaker 1: that is the Michigan governor's race. You had a very 96 00:06:18,960 --> 00:06:23,320 Speaker 1: vulnerable whit Whitmer was a governor who locked down kids 97 00:06:23,320 --> 00:06:26,400 Speaker 1: in school for more than two years. She locked them 98 00:06:26,400 --> 00:06:29,159 Speaker 1: out of school. I should say she's someone who shut 99 00:06:29,200 --> 00:06:32,600 Speaker 1: down businesses and destroyed her economy. She's someone that wanted 100 00:06:32,600 --> 00:06:35,240 Speaker 1: to take away the rights of parental rights, and she's 101 00:06:35,279 --> 00:06:39,360 Speaker 1: one that wanted to demandate vaccines and masks. The lockdowns 102 00:06:39,360 --> 00:06:43,120 Speaker 1: with COVID there were really more intense than maybe anywhere 103 00:06:43,120 --> 00:06:46,280 Speaker 1: else in the country. There was an opportunity in Michigan. 104 00:06:47,200 --> 00:06:52,600 Speaker 1: This was a big opportunity. Tudor Dixon got through the primary. 105 00:06:53,480 --> 00:06:57,479 Speaker 1: The problem is she did not get through the general election. 106 00:06:57,560 --> 00:07:01,640 Speaker 1: In fact, it wasn't even close. This is another example 107 00:07:01,800 --> 00:07:06,080 Speaker 1: of just how bad candidates election can be. In primaries. 108 00:07:06,120 --> 00:07:08,080 Speaker 1: You might be able to win a primary, that doesn't 109 00:07:08,160 --> 00:07:10,360 Speaker 1: mean that you are going to be able to win 110 00:07:10,480 --> 00:07:15,720 Speaker 1: a general election. It doesn't mean that. Now you look 111 00:07:15,720 --> 00:07:19,320 Speaker 1: at these takeaways, and again, Fetterman is the one that's 112 00:07:19,480 --> 00:07:25,160 Speaker 1: rocking the world right now because even Democrats cannot believe 113 00:07:25,800 --> 00:07:29,960 Speaker 1: that Fetterman was able to defeat the Republican doctor osmany 114 00:07:30,040 --> 00:07:34,760 Speaker 1: believe was not a real Republican. This was a seat 115 00:07:34,800 --> 00:07:38,480 Speaker 1: that we held the retiring center Pat Toomey made it 116 00:07:38,640 --> 00:07:42,080 Speaker 1: easy for Republicans to win. That we screwed it up 117 00:07:42,080 --> 00:07:44,840 Speaker 1: with our candidates selection. And that's the only way you 118 00:07:44,840 --> 00:07:47,320 Speaker 1: can look at this now. If you look at where 119 00:07:47,360 --> 00:07:50,760 Speaker 1: Republicans did well last night, and that there's a roadmap 120 00:07:50,800 --> 00:07:54,520 Speaker 1: for success You need to look no further than Florida. 121 00:07:54,800 --> 00:08:00,160 Speaker 1: Florida had their act together. Florida was a place with DeSantis, 122 00:08:00,920 --> 00:08:04,520 Speaker 1: he was the projected winner very early in the in 123 00:08:04,560 --> 00:08:08,040 Speaker 1: the night. And the fact that DeSantis was able to 124 00:08:08,040 --> 00:08:10,480 Speaker 1: pull off what Rhnda Santis was able to do there, 125 00:08:10,800 --> 00:08:14,240 Speaker 1: and the other Republican candidates that went there very quickly. 126 00:08:14,800 --> 00:08:18,760 Speaker 1: In Florida, look a look at Marco Rubio's race. Democrats 127 00:08:18,800 --> 00:08:20,880 Speaker 1: thought they might be able to make in ways there 128 00:08:20,960 --> 00:08:24,200 Speaker 1: or that race. No, they didn't get even they didn't 129 00:08:24,200 --> 00:08:27,040 Speaker 1: get close at all. But you look at the federal 130 00:08:27,240 --> 00:08:30,160 Speaker 1: you look at what happened in Florida, and they picked 131 00:08:30,440 --> 00:08:35,400 Speaker 1: solid candidates. In Florida, De Santis won by almost almost 132 00:08:35,440 --> 00:08:39,600 Speaker 1: twenty points fifty nine point four to forty percent over 133 00:08:39,679 --> 00:08:43,560 Speaker 1: Charlie Chris. That is a massive victory and it went 134 00:08:43,600 --> 00:08:46,160 Speaker 1: all the way through, all the way down the ballot. 135 00:08:46,800 --> 00:08:50,280 Speaker 1: You look at Georgia, for example, you had a solid 136 00:08:50,360 --> 00:08:54,320 Speaker 1: candidate in Kemp, and what happened with Kemp there? The 137 00:08:54,360 --> 00:08:58,400 Speaker 1: governor there beat the living crap out of Abrams. Abrams 138 00:08:58,440 --> 00:09:02,400 Speaker 1: had massive amounts of money, folks, mounts of cash that 139 00:09:02,559 --> 00:09:05,280 Speaker 1: no one could have imagined in that race, and she 140 00:09:05,559 --> 00:09:11,559 Speaker 1: wasted the donor money. Stacy Abrams wasted over a hundred 141 00:09:11,640 --> 00:09:15,640 Speaker 1: and five million dollars in donor moneyed in her failed campaign. 142 00:09:16,720 --> 00:09:21,920 Speaker 1: Good candidates win elections. You look at what's happening, for example, 143 00:09:22,360 --> 00:09:25,120 Speaker 1: in the election there for the Senate, and it may 144 00:09:25,760 --> 00:09:28,640 Speaker 1: have literally the weight of the Senate may go to 145 00:09:28,679 --> 00:09:33,120 Speaker 1: the Republicans of the Democrats. Based on another race in Georgia, 146 00:09:33,400 --> 00:09:35,880 Speaker 1: that is the race between Warnock, a guy that was 147 00:09:36,000 --> 00:09:40,560 Speaker 1: extremely vulnerable, and Warnock was up against the guy that 148 00:09:40,720 --> 00:09:45,760 Speaker 1: Donald Trump also picked. If a football player that had 149 00:09:45,800 --> 00:09:48,440 Speaker 1: a lot of baggage came down at the end to 150 00:09:48,720 --> 00:09:52,040 Speaker 1: hurt him that baggage, yeah, you can get him through 151 00:09:52,040 --> 00:09:54,720 Speaker 1: a primary, but can you get him through a general. 152 00:09:55,320 --> 00:09:57,600 Speaker 1: We're now headed for what looks like a runoff in 153 00:09:57,679 --> 00:10:01,320 Speaker 1: Georgia and that could cost us the in it. So 154 00:10:01,400 --> 00:10:04,839 Speaker 1: just because the Kennett can get through a primary with 155 00:10:04,960 --> 00:10:08,480 Speaker 1: a big Trump rally doesn't mean that it's the best 156 00:10:08,520 --> 00:10:11,120 Speaker 1: candidate for the job, and it doesn't mean that in 157 00:10:11,160 --> 00:10:14,000 Speaker 1: the general election it's going to work. That's the takeaway 158 00:10:14,040 --> 00:10:18,440 Speaker 1: from last night. Because Stacy Abrams lost again to the 159 00:10:18,480 --> 00:10:21,360 Speaker 1: Republican Brian Kemp, who did it on his own he 160 00:10:21,440 --> 00:10:24,080 Speaker 1: didn't have a bunch of backing from the Trump team. 161 00:10:25,679 --> 00:10:29,200 Speaker 1: She wasted over one hundred million dollars in campaign funds 162 00:10:30,800 --> 00:10:35,840 Speaker 1: one Georgia. This is the Abrams campaign. Leadership committee brought 163 00:10:35,880 --> 00:10:37,920 Speaker 1: in a combined one hundred and five million for a 164 00:10:38,000 --> 00:10:41,920 Speaker 1: campaign big donors from all over the country. One hundred 165 00:10:41,960 --> 00:10:45,640 Speaker 1: and five million, got a big loss. It was not 166 00:10:45,800 --> 00:10:50,360 Speaker 1: competitive there for her. The Kemp campaign, for example, they 167 00:10:50,440 --> 00:10:54,400 Speaker 1: raised eighty one million in their re election cycle. Abrams 168 00:10:54,400 --> 00:10:58,200 Speaker 1: wrote a dramatic wave of democratic support after her close 169 00:10:58,280 --> 00:11:01,360 Speaker 1: loss to Kemp in twenty eighteen and became an election 170 00:11:01,440 --> 00:11:03,600 Speaker 1: denier who refused to say that she lost the race. 171 00:11:03,679 --> 00:11:06,760 Speaker 1: She now has lost that race last night again. And 172 00:11:06,840 --> 00:11:08,360 Speaker 1: before I get into the second part of this, I 173 00:11:08,440 --> 00:11:10,080 Speaker 1: want to remind you about our good friends over at 174 00:11:10,080 --> 00:11:13,400 Speaker 1: Patriot Mobile.

This is something we have to 196 00:12:39,160 --> 00:12:42,160 Speaker 1: learn from. Just because Donald Trump can come in and 197 00:12:42,240 --> 00:12:46,480 Speaker 1: win you a primary to stick it to the Republican leadership, 198 00:12:46,600 --> 00:12:48,840 Speaker 1: doesn't mean that he can get you across the finish 199 00:12:48,880 --> 00:12:52,480 Speaker 1: line in a general election. That is the reality of 200 00:12:52,520 --> 00:12:55,280 Speaker 1: the takeaway of these midterm elections. We screwed it up 201 00:12:55,320 --> 00:12:59,080 Speaker 1: with bad candidates. Now we're gonna go to what looks 202 00:12:59,080 --> 00:13:01,040 Speaker 1: like a runoff in Orgia because you have to have 203 00:13:01,120 --> 00:13:06,520 Speaker 1: fifty plus one percent in Georgia. And everybody that I know, 204 00:13:06,679 --> 00:13:09,320 Speaker 1: as I woke up this morning, all the text messages 205 00:13:09,360 --> 00:13:12,880 Speaker 1: are like, all right, now, what happens in Georgia. The 206 00:13:13,040 --> 00:13:16,880 Speaker 1: Democrats will go all in on Georgia if they're gonna 207 00:13:16,960 --> 00:13:18,880 Speaker 1: need it, right, if they know that they could this 208 00:13:18,960 --> 00:13:21,600 Speaker 1: is the balance of power in the Senate, they will 209 00:13:21,679 --> 00:13:27,079 Speaker 1: jump in. You look at Georgia right now, and neither 210 00:13:27,120 --> 00:13:31,440 Speaker 1: of the candidates are above the fifty plus percent. They've 211 00:13:31,440 --> 00:13:35,280 Speaker 1: got ninety six percent of the vote that is in 212 00:13:35,720 --> 00:13:40,680 Speaker 1: As of seven twenty four am. Warnock is at forty 213 00:13:40,760 --> 00:13:47,160 Speaker 1: nine point two, Walker forty eight point seven, Oliver the 214 00:13:47,240 --> 00:13:51,440 Speaker 1: Independent at two point one percent with eighty thou twenty votes, 215 00:13:51,480 --> 00:13:53,360 Speaker 1: So that that is going to be interesting to see 216 00:13:53,679 --> 00:13:55,480 Speaker 1: who that breaks for. The other question is going to 217 00:13:55,559 --> 00:14:00,760 Speaker 1: be turnout right. Warnock had massive wins in the Atlanta area, 218 00:14:00,880 --> 00:14:04,520 Speaker 1: also around Augustus, Savannah and Columbus. That's where the main 219 00:14:04,679 --> 00:14:07,880 Speaker 1: part of his voters came from. Walker was in the 220 00:14:07,920 --> 00:14:09,880 Speaker 1: rest of the state. But you go to Walker and 221 00:14:09,920 --> 00:14:12,440 Speaker 1: you look at him as a candidate, and we should 222 00:14:12,440 --> 00:14:15,839 Speaker 1: have easily been able to beat Raphael Warnock, especially because 223 00:14:15,880 --> 00:14:18,280 Speaker 1: we had all the issues that were at our advantage. 224 00:14:18,760 --> 00:14:21,160 Speaker 1: The other thing is there are people, and make no 225 00:14:21,280 --> 00:14:24,720 Speaker 1: mistake about this, all right, because I'm not a cheerleader 226 00:14:24,760 --> 00:14:26,520 Speaker 1: when I give you the data, all right, I'm this 227 00:14:26,760 --> 00:14:32,720 Speaker 1: is just the data. You had a governor's race there 228 00:14:32,920 --> 00:14:37,200 Speaker 1: that looks different than the Senate race. What that means 229 00:14:37,320 --> 00:14:40,160 Speaker 1: is there were people that pushed a button for the 230 00:14:40,200 --> 00:14:44,320 Speaker 1: Republican Kemp who did not push the button for Walker. 231 00:14:45,600 --> 00:14:49,280 Speaker 1: That tells you something about candidate selection, how important it 232 00:14:49,360 --> 00:14:54,960 Speaker 1: is you go to, for example, Colorado. We had a 233 00:14:55,040 --> 00:15:00,000 Speaker 1: chance there in Colorado to do something that disappeared because 234 00:15:00,560 --> 00:15:03,840 Speaker 1: there was a war between O'Day and Donald Trump, and 235 00:15:03,920 --> 00:15:08,600 Speaker 1: O'Day got beat there badly fifty four to forty two. 236 00:15:09,240 --> 00:15:12,320 Speaker 1: That was a screw up. You look at what's happening 237 00:15:12,320 --> 00:15:16,800 Speaker 1: in Arizona. Arizona has had some voting issues, many of you. 238 00:15:17,000 --> 00:15:19,760 Speaker 1: We talked about that on the show yesterday. Mericoba County, 239 00:15:20,240 --> 00:15:22,760 Speaker 1: only sixty eight percent of the vote is in as 240 00:15:22,800 --> 00:15:26,360 Speaker 1: of seven twenty five Central time am on Wednesday morning, 241 00:15:26,880 --> 00:15:30,240 Speaker 1: and you have a Democrat there who is up fifty 242 00:15:30,280 --> 00:15:34,360 Speaker 1: one point nine to forty five point nine Overmasters in 243 00:15:34,480 --> 00:15:38,600 Speaker 1: Arizona car the governor's race, there also another one that's 244 00:15:38,640 --> 00:15:41,040 Speaker 1: going to be a key indicator there that makes me nervous. 245 00:15:41,600 --> 00:15:43,360 Speaker 1: Some of the winds that I love. And again I 246 00:15:43,400 --> 00:15:47,480 Speaker 1: go back to how solid of a campaign they ran 247 00:15:47,520 --> 00:15:51,240 Speaker 1: in Florida. It was an incredibly solid campaign top to 248 00:15:51,280 --> 00:15:54,160 Speaker 1: bottom with solid candidates in Florida, top to bottom on 249 00:15:54,160 --> 00:15:57,240 Speaker 1: the Republican side, and Democrats thought they were gonna be 250 00:15:57,280 --> 00:16:01,080 Speaker 1: able to come after Rubio. They were wrong. Rubio and 251 00:16:01,320 --> 00:16:06,400 Speaker 1: a Santists had big victories, Rubio overwhelmingly winning their fifty 252 00:16:06,400 --> 00:16:10,280 Speaker 1: seven point seven to forty one point three percent. This 253 00:16:11,560 --> 00:16:15,920 Speaker 1: clearly mimics the governor's numbers there with the Santists is 254 00:16:16,000 --> 00:16:19,600 Speaker 1: big win. So when you look at what happened and 255 00:16:20,240 --> 00:16:24,640 Speaker 1: the takeaway, we have to be honest about what happened here. 256 00:16:25,080 --> 00:16:27,840 Speaker 1: You look at Nevada and the Senate race there eighty 257 00:16:27,880 --> 00:16:31,760 Speaker 1: percent in right now too close to call. The good 258 00:16:31,800 --> 00:16:36,360 Speaker 1: news is at this point the Republican lasall is at 259 00:16:36,400 --> 00:16:41,520 Speaker 1: forty nine point nine and to forty seven point two. 260 00:16:41,600 --> 00:16:44,920 Speaker 1: That's a twenty two thousand vote lead in Nevada that's 261 00:16:44,920 --> 00:16:47,720 Speaker 1: a good that's a key race, a very important race 262 00:16:47,760 --> 00:16:52,000 Speaker 1: that we're gonna need and hopefully that will break our way. 263 00:16:53,560 --> 00:16:58,000 Speaker 1: We had North Carolina an exciting race there where Bud 264 00:16:58,120 --> 00:17:01,160 Speaker 1: won that Senate race. There, a good candidate was chosen 265 00:17:01,720 --> 00:17:04,560 Speaker 1: in a tough race in North Carolina over Beasley. We 266 00:17:04,640 --> 00:17:08,119 Speaker 1: won fifty point seven to forty seven percent. That is 267 00:17:08,160 --> 00:17:11,800 Speaker 1: a huge victory for the Republicans that we needed. Let's 268 00:17:11,840 --> 00:17:14,720 Speaker 1: talk about candidate selection with DJ Vance. Now, this is 269 00:17:14,720 --> 00:17:17,639 Speaker 1: where DJ Vance was a very good candidate. He was 270 00:17:17,720 --> 00:17:20,480 Speaker 1: endorsed by Donald Trump. Donald Trump came in, got him 271 00:17:20,480 --> 00:17:23,600 Speaker 1: through that primary, kept going for him in the general. 272 00:17:23,920 --> 00:17:26,800 Speaker 1: And Vance, who is a very good candidate, right, he 273 00:17:26,960 --> 00:17:30,000 Speaker 1: was way better than a Doctor Oz, way better than 274 00:17:30,400 --> 00:17:34,520 Speaker 1: herschel Walker for example. And DJ Vance was a solid 275 00:17:34,560 --> 00:17:38,199 Speaker 1: candidate who had backing of the Republican leadership and Donald Trump. 276 00:17:38,560 --> 00:17:41,320 Speaker 1: He was able to win that fifty three forty six. 277 00:17:42,760 --> 00:17:45,040 Speaker 1: You gotta be a smart candidate, you gotta be a 278 00:17:45,040 --> 00:17:47,960 Speaker 1: good candidate. The Doctor Oz race is the one that's 279 00:17:47,960 --> 00:17:49,520 Speaker 1: going to go down in history. Is one of the 280 00:17:49,520 --> 00:17:53,600 Speaker 1: biggest screw ups in the history of the Republican Party. 281 00:17:53,960 --> 00:17:57,040 Speaker 1: In the history, I would say of this of this primary, 282 00:17:57,520 --> 00:18:01,760 Speaker 1: you know, fight right between the Republicans and the Donald 283 00:18:01,760 --> 00:18:04,920 Speaker 1: Trump faction of the party. Donald Trump came in there. 284 00:18:05,000 --> 00:18:07,720 Speaker 1: He wanted to prove a point that he could take 285 00:18:07,760 --> 00:18:09,800 Speaker 1: somebody like Oz who by the way, it was a 286 00:18:09,840 --> 00:18:17,080 Speaker 1: Democrat who was a TV star, and get behind him 287 00:18:17,080 --> 00:18:20,040 Speaker 1: and push him through the primary. And he did it. 288 00:18:20,040 --> 00:18:23,520 Speaker 1: It costs us a Senate seat in Pennsylvania. That's just 289 00:18:23,640 --> 00:18:28,080 Speaker 1: the truth. We have to learn from these mistakes. You 290 00:18:28,160 --> 00:18:31,280 Speaker 1: look at Mike Lee in Utah. Mike Lee was able 291 00:18:31,320 --> 00:18:33,840 Speaker 1: to win that race there. Think goodness. He was behind 292 00:18:33,880 --> 00:18:37,399 Speaker 1: early on, people started realizing he was behind, they came back. 293 00:18:37,440 --> 00:18:41,520 Speaker 1: He won overwhelmingly, fifty five to forty one. Thank goodness 294 00:18:41,520 --> 00:18:46,720 Speaker 1: had happened there. In Washington, we had a chance there 295 00:18:46,800 --> 00:18:50,760 Speaker 1: and it disappeared quickly, even though the issues were on 296 00:18:50,760 --> 00:18:55,360 Speaker 1: our side. Murray beating Smiley there fifty six to forty two. 297 00:18:56,200 --> 00:19:01,520 Speaker 1: And lastly, think goodness. Johnson is up Ron Johnson, who 298 00:19:01,640 --> 00:19:06,000 Speaker 1: is the incumbent. He is up in Wisconsin fifty point 299 00:19:06,040 --> 00:19:08,480 Speaker 1: five to forty nine point three with ninety four percent 300 00:19:08,520 --> 00:19:13,280 Speaker 1: of the the vote in that's a thirty one thousand vote lead. Johnson. 301 00:19:13,320 --> 00:19:15,280 Speaker 1: I believe we'll hold on to that seat there. That's 302 00:19:15,280 --> 00:19:18,679 Speaker 1: going to help us tremendously. So was this a red wave? No, 303 00:19:19,200 --> 00:19:21,560 Speaker 1: I always will tell you the truth, it was not. 304 00:19:21,800 --> 00:19:25,320 Speaker 1: Was this a disappointment, yes, should we've had bigger wins 305 00:19:25,440 --> 00:19:27,080 Speaker 1: with all the issues that were on our side in 306 00:19:27,119 --> 00:19:34,240 Speaker 1: the economy. Yes. Candidate selection, my friends, is everything. Republicans 307 00:19:34,320 --> 00:19:38,719 Speaker 1: at this point still need two Democratic seats to flip 308 00:19:38,760 --> 00:19:42,399 Speaker 1: to Republicans to gain control the Senate. And losing that 309 00:19:42,520 --> 00:19:47,000 Speaker 1: odd seat that Oz election, that is that that could 310 00:19:47,000 --> 00:19:52,520 Speaker 1: be catastrophic to the Republicans gaining control of the Senate 311 00:19:53,160 --> 00:19:57,280 Speaker 1: and now having a bad candidate choice in Georgia and 312 00:19:57,359 --> 00:20:00,680 Speaker 1: that sentence to race there herschel Walker. We could done better. 313 00:20:01,880 --> 00:20:05,560 Speaker 1: That one could hurt us. Their candidate selection is everything, 314 00:20:06,160 --> 00:20:07,720 Speaker 1: all right?

If you just take a 338 00:21:30,359 --> 00:21:36,560 Speaker 1: step back and you look at the takeaway here, Florida 339 00:21:36,800 --> 00:21:41,960 Speaker 1: seems to be the only big bright spot for Republicans 340 00:21:43,160 --> 00:21:46,280 Speaker 1: in a mid term election year where inflation is so 341 00:21:46,440 --> 00:21:52,480 Speaker 1: high and lockdowns were so unpopular. It is disturbing there 342 00:21:52,520 --> 00:21:59,440 Speaker 1: were not more pickups for Republicans nationwide Florida did it right. 343 00:21:59,800 --> 00:22:06,200 Speaker 1: They had solid conservative candidates that worked together to make 344 00:22:06,240 --> 00:22:11,359 Speaker 1: sure that everyone got elected. Ronda Santis winning re election 345 00:22:11,480 --> 00:22:17,200 Speaker 1: by twenty points in Florida incredible. Marco Rubio won by 346 00:22:17,280 --> 00:22:23,680 Speaker 1: almost as much. Incredible. Each of them won hardcore liberal 347 00:22:23,800 --> 00:22:30,720 Speaker 1: Miami Dade County by ten plus points. That means Hispanics 348 00:22:30,760 --> 00:22:33,600 Speaker 1: were willing to listen to Republican candidates if they said 349 00:22:33,640 --> 00:22:37,879 Speaker 1: the right things. Seventy percent of Miami Dade is Hispanic 350 00:22:37,960 --> 00:22:43,679 Speaker 1: and they are not all Cuban Americans anymore. De Santis 351 00:22:43,720 --> 00:22:47,639 Speaker 1: even won Palm Beach County, which is liberal, because he 352 00:22:47,800 --> 00:22:50,560 Speaker 1: made sure he talked the issues, and he took a 353 00:22:50,800 --> 00:22:54,399 Speaker 1: stand and stood on what he believed was right and wrong. 354 00:22:54,920 --> 00:22:57,840 Speaker 1: During all of the lockdowns and all of the covid 355 00:22:58,920 --> 00:23:02,600 Speaker 1: Democrats and hire media one to take down to Santis, 356 00:23:03,680 --> 00:23:08,679 Speaker 1: that didn't happen. Twenty the twenty eight congressional seats in 357 00:23:08,720 --> 00:23:14,760 Speaker 1: Florida are now Republicans. Both US Senate seats in Florida 358 00:23:14,880 --> 00:23:20,399 Speaker 1: are now Republican. The entire Florida cabinet, every statewide race 359 00:23:21,040 --> 00:23:25,480 Speaker 1: went Republican by more than a dozen percentage points. That 360 00:23:25,680 --> 00:23:31,600 Speaker 1: is unheard of. The candidate selection down there was phenomenal. 361 00:23:32,280 --> 00:23:36,200 Speaker 1: That is the bright spot for Republicans. Joining me now 362 00:23:36,240 --> 00:23:38,679 Speaker 1: to talk about where we are when it comes to 363 00:23:38,800 --> 00:23:43,440 Speaker 1: the Senate is US Senator from Tennessee, Marsha Blackburn, Senator. 364 00:23:43,600 --> 00:23:46,080 Speaker 1: I appreciate you coming on this morning. I think you 365 00:23:46,160 --> 00:23:48,960 Speaker 1: probably feel like I am. You're a little bit in 366 00:23:49,040 --> 00:23:51,199 Speaker 1: shock that we're at forty eight. Forty eight as you 367 00:23:51,240 --> 00:23:54,360 Speaker 1: and I speak this morning, the Democrats were actually able 368 00:23:54,359 --> 00:23:56,439 Speaker 1: to pick up a seat in the Senate at this point, 369 00:23:57,200 --> 00:24:00,320 Speaker 1: I am very concerned about the Senate right now. What's 370 00:24:00,320 --> 00:24:05,120 Speaker 1: your take? Well, I am very concerned about it. And 371 00:24:05,400 --> 00:24:08,520 Speaker 1: one thing you were just talking about with Florida, let 372 00:24:08,560 --> 00:24:10,840 Speaker 1: me kind of start there. I think you can look 373 00:24:10,880 --> 00:24:16,720 Speaker 1: at Florida and say leadership matters and having elected leaders. 374 00:24:16,800 --> 00:24:20,640 Speaker 1: You're talking about Rhonda Santis, You're talking about Marco, and 375 00:24:21,040 --> 00:24:24,960 Speaker 1: they have delivered on the issues where the people want 376 00:24:24,960 --> 00:24:28,280 Speaker 1: to see action. They've told people what they were going 377 00:24:28,359 --> 00:24:30,400 Speaker 1: to do, they talked them through it while they were 378 00:24:30,440 --> 00:24:33,120 Speaker 1: doing it. They've shown them what they've done. They've let 379 00:24:33,160 --> 00:24:38,680 Speaker 1: the results speak and the outcomes speak, and thereby the 380 00:24:38,720 --> 00:24:44,359 Speaker 1: people have responded. You saw that same thing in Mike 381 00:24:44,520 --> 00:24:48,480 Speaker 1: Lee's race out in Utah. You've seen it in Wisconsin 382 00:24:49,040 --> 00:24:54,119 Speaker 1: with Ron Johnson. So leadership does make a difference, and 383 00:24:54,200 --> 00:24:57,199 Speaker 1: it matters now. I think one of the things we 384 00:24:57,280 --> 00:24:59,800 Speaker 1: do have to look at with all the talk that 385 00:25:00,119 --> 00:25:05,560 Speaker 1: there about the red wave, and the media really drove 386 00:25:06,000 --> 00:25:10,719 Speaker 1: this issue of the red wave, and as I repeatedly said, 387 00:25:11,119 --> 00:25:14,000 Speaker 1: the red wave could be there, but you've got to 388 00:25:14,000 --> 00:25:17,400 Speaker 1: make sure it comes to your state, your congressional district, 389 00:25:17,520 --> 00:25:22,320 Speaker 1: to your state Senate and state house seats. You have 390 00:25:22,480 --> 00:25:26,520 Speaker 1: to make certain that that red wave arise. And what 391 00:25:26,560 --> 00:25:30,639 Speaker 1: we had and some of these races was the narrative 392 00:25:30,960 --> 00:25:34,320 Speaker 1: that was put in place that the candidates could not 393 00:25:34,520 --> 00:25:40,560 Speaker 1: meet that expectation. So that is a good lesson for Republicans. 394 00:25:40,600 --> 00:25:44,240 Speaker 1: And then today we have to pick ourselves up. We 395 00:25:44,359 --> 00:25:46,920 Speaker 1: have to get back to the business of blocking Joe 396 00:25:47,000 --> 00:25:52,240 Speaker 1: Biden's agenda. We have to make certain that we are 397 00:25:52,280 --> 00:25:56,080 Speaker 1: going to focus on the issues because the twenty four 398 00:25:56,240 --> 00:26:03,120 Speaker 1: election cycle begins today. There's no doubt it begins today. 399 00:26:03,359 --> 00:26:06,399 Speaker 1: Let's talk about these Senate races that are still left 400 00:26:07,760 --> 00:26:11,239 Speaker 1: I am. I think the most disappointing and shocking for 401 00:26:11,320 --> 00:26:17,159 Speaker 1: me was obviously the race in Pennsylvania. You know Cannet 402 00:26:17,240 --> 00:26:23,320 Speaker 1: selection matters. Doctor Oz was rejected by the voters after 403 00:26:23,400 --> 00:26:26,760 Speaker 1: winning that primary. That primary, as you know, was a 404 00:26:26,920 --> 00:26:32,439 Speaker 1: very divided, very tight primary there. Doctor Oz clearly was 405 00:26:32,480 --> 00:26:34,760 Speaker 1: the weaker candidate. I would argue, it's clear that the 406 00:26:34,840 --> 00:26:38,320 Speaker 1: voters said he was the wrong candidate for the Republican 407 00:26:38,359 --> 00:26:41,639 Speaker 1: party there. We have to learn from these mistakes. You 408 00:26:41,720 --> 00:26:43,679 Speaker 1: look at Georgia right now, what looks like we're going 409 00:26:43,720 --> 00:26:46,320 Speaker 1: to be going into a runoff there. Neither candate Warnox 410 00:26:46,400 --> 00:26:49,359 Speaker 1: at forty nine point two, Walker is at forty eight 411 00:26:49,440 --> 00:26:53,080 Speaker 1: point seven, and yet you have a governor's race there 412 00:26:53,440 --> 00:26:56,480 Speaker 1: overwhelmingly won by a Republican. That means there was people 413 00:26:56,480 --> 00:26:59,040 Speaker 1: that walked in and voted for the Republican for governor 414 00:26:59,320 --> 00:27:01,800 Speaker 1: and did not for Walker, maybe didn't even vote in 415 00:27:01,840 --> 00:27:05,160 Speaker 1: that race altogether. What we're seeing there and now we're 416 00:27:05,200 --> 00:27:08,880 Speaker 1: going to be heading towards this this runoff, we've got 417 00:27:08,880 --> 00:27:12,840 Speaker 1: to learn that Cannet's election is so vitally important when 418 00:27:13,240 --> 00:27:19,760 Speaker 1: looking in these primaries moving forward, well, that is very true. 419 00:27:19,960 --> 00:27:22,960 Speaker 1: You always want the most I want the most conservative 420 00:27:23,000 --> 00:27:26,440 Speaker 1: candidate that can win. And what we have to make 421 00:27:26,640 --> 00:27:30,639 Speaker 1: certain is that we move forward as a United Party, 422 00:27:30,760 --> 00:27:35,440 Speaker 1: that we are not running against ourselves and the Democrats, 423 00:27:35,640 --> 00:27:41,320 Speaker 1: that we are united because the environment was right for us. 424 00:27:41,880 --> 00:27:44,560 Speaker 1: But you know, one of the things that Haley Barber 425 00:27:44,920 --> 00:27:49,520 Speaker 1: used to say, and I always appreciated this, he would 426 00:27:49,560 --> 00:27:53,880 Speaker 1: talk about when we focus on personalities, we lose. When 427 00:27:53,960 --> 00:27:59,640 Speaker 1: we focus on issues and principles, we win. And we 428 00:28:00,560 --> 00:28:05,480 Speaker 1: remember that we should all remember that. That's an important 429 00:28:05,680 --> 00:28:11,400 Speaker 1: lesson for us to keep in mind. A look at Arizona, 430 00:28:11,440 --> 00:28:15,040 Speaker 1: for example, there was so much emphasis there on personalities 431 00:28:15,880 --> 00:28:18,280 Speaker 1: and that is I think gotten us in some trouble 432 00:28:18,280 --> 00:28:21,560 Speaker 1: in Arizona right now, those races there with Kelly and Masters, 433 00:28:22,920 --> 00:28:25,000 Speaker 1: and now you look at the governor's race there that 434 00:28:25,160 --> 00:28:28,760 Speaker 1: was very much a personality driven race, a lot of press, 435 00:28:28,840 --> 00:28:31,520 Speaker 1: a lot of national press. But the voters when they 436 00:28:31,520 --> 00:28:36,200 Speaker 1: went in did that did not play well for us. Well, 437 00:28:36,280 --> 00:28:39,600 Speaker 1: you're right about that. And what seems to have happened 438 00:28:40,120 --> 00:28:44,800 Speaker 1: as we're looking at results this morning, is that people 439 00:28:44,880 --> 00:28:51,200 Speaker 1: that traditionally voted Democrats when these candidates, when these Democrat 440 00:28:51,320 --> 00:28:57,440 Speaker 1: candidates separated themselves from book White House and started to 441 00:28:57,640 --> 00:29:03,040 Speaker 1: move to the middle on the issues of inflation, of crime, 442 00:29:03,480 --> 00:29:05,880 Speaker 1: of the open border, and you can see this. You 443 00:29:05,960 --> 00:29:10,239 Speaker 1: know Texas and you know South Texas, and you know 444 00:29:10,680 --> 00:29:15,960 Speaker 1: that a lot of those races you had Democrats moved 445 00:29:16,080 --> 00:29:19,640 Speaker 1: back and support the Democrats who said, oh no, no, no, 446 00:29:19,720 --> 00:29:22,720 Speaker 1: I'm not one of those Biden Democrats. I'm going to 447 00:29:22,840 --> 00:29:26,040 Speaker 1: be a moderate and I'm going to go work with 448 00:29:26,520 --> 00:29:30,840 Speaker 1: everybody so that we can get things done. And we 449 00:29:30,960 --> 00:29:34,240 Speaker 1: have to remember when you're in elective office, you are 450 00:29:34,320 --> 00:29:40,000 Speaker 1: there to represent everybody who has sent you, everybody that 451 00:29:40,440 --> 00:29:42,680 Speaker 1: is in that district, whether they go to for you 452 00:29:42,800 --> 00:29:46,760 Speaker 1: or not, whether they're a Democrat, Republican, independent, Green Party, 453 00:29:47,280 --> 00:29:52,239 Speaker 1: you are there to represent your area senor. We just 454 00:29:52,320 --> 00:29:55,080 Speaker 1: got some good news and I just got this that 455 00:29:55,240 --> 00:30:00,560 Speaker 1: the new ballots are just updated in Nevada. Lasal there 456 00:30:00,600 --> 00:30:05,800 Speaker 1: has just moved up to forty nine point nine. Cortez 457 00:30:05,960 --> 00:30:11,120 Speaker 1: Amasso is at forty seven point two with eighty percent 458 00:30:11,240 --> 00:30:14,120 Speaker 1: now in there. That's a twenty two thousand and five 459 00:30:14,280 --> 00:30:19,440 Speaker 1: hundred ninety five vote lead for the Republican Lacks out 460 00:30:19,440 --> 00:30:24,760 Speaker 1: there that race, and Nevada is vitally important to the 461 00:30:24,800 --> 00:30:30,960 Speaker 1: Senate possibly being in control of the Republicans. That's encouraging numbers. 462 00:30:32,160 --> 00:30:37,240 Speaker 1: Those are encouraging numbers, and I get fully believe when 463 00:30:37,280 --> 00:30:40,479 Speaker 1: everything is counted that we're going to have that slight 464 00:30:40,640 --> 00:30:46,480 Speaker 1: majority for Republicans. The lesson is, we have to be 465 00:30:46,880 --> 00:30:50,520 Speaker 1: focusing on the issues. We have to be holding this 466 00:30:50,680 --> 00:30:55,920 Speaker 1: administration to account, and we have to deliver for the 467 00:30:56,040 --> 00:31:00,720 Speaker 1: American people. Yeah, if there's any one exciting piece of news, 468 00:31:00,720 --> 00:31:04,680 Speaker 1: somebody that you served with, senator for quite some time 469 00:31:04,680 --> 00:31:07,200 Speaker 1: when you're in the House, if there's any headline now 470 00:31:07,200 --> 00:31:08,959 Speaker 1: that I think we can all get excited about. It 471 00:31:09,000 --> 00:31:11,920 Speaker 1: looks like that Nancy Pelosi will no longer be the 472 00:31:11,960 --> 00:31:15,360 Speaker 1: Speaker of the House and very well may decide to retire. 473 00:31:15,440 --> 00:31:17,240 Speaker 1: Do you think she'll retire? And how excited are you 474 00:31:17,280 --> 00:31:18,520 Speaker 1: that at least we are going to be done with 475 00:31:18,640 --> 00:31:24,520 Speaker 1: Nancy Pelosian leadership. I don't know what her plans are. 476 00:31:24,680 --> 00:31:28,960 Speaker 1: I've seeing some of the press releases. What I am 477 00:31:29,120 --> 00:31:34,200 Speaker 1: so pleased for is that the Republicans will in the House. 478 00:31:34,280 --> 00:31:38,520 Speaker 1: We'll be able to take the lead in blocking the 479 00:31:38,640 --> 00:31:43,000 Speaker 1: Biden agenda. You know, Ben, there some things that Kevin 480 00:31:43,080 --> 00:31:47,560 Speaker 1: McCarthy is Speaker of the House, needs to immediately do. 481 00:31:47,920 --> 00:31:51,840 Speaker 1: Number one is to freeze federal spending, federal hiring, and 482 00:31:51,960 --> 00:31:59,000 Speaker 1: federal employee salaries. That has to be done immediately. And 483 00:31:59,240 --> 00:32:01,480 Speaker 1: the other thing is to get rid of these eighty 484 00:32:01,520 --> 00:32:06,200 Speaker 1: seven thousand IRS agents and turn that into on the 485 00:32:06,280 --> 00:32:10,239 Speaker 1: streets and border security personnel. And the third thing is 486 00:32:10,280 --> 00:32:13,160 Speaker 1: to push back on the White House so that we 487 00:32:13,320 --> 00:32:17,640 Speaker 1: moved to energy independence and dominance. We have to go 488 00:32:17,680 --> 00:32:21,160 Speaker 1: back to drilling in the US, go back to fracting. 489 00:32:21,960 --> 00:32:25,160 Speaker 1: Those are going to be imperative steps for us in 490 00:32:25,320 --> 00:32:29,120 Speaker 1: order to get inflation under control. Senator I wish it 491 00:32:29,200 --> 00:32:31,120 Speaker 1: was more exciting this morning. You and I were hoping 492 00:32:31,200 --> 00:32:33,240 Speaker 1: for a big red wave. That's not what we're getting. 493 00:32:33,240 --> 00:32:35,560 Speaker 1: But we do have some victories that are going to 494 00:32:35,600 --> 00:32:37,680 Speaker 1: be vitally important for the direction of the country and 495 00:32:37,680 --> 00:32:41,760 Speaker 1: holding this administration accountable. I appreciate you coming on as always, 496 00:32:41,800 --> 00:32:45,520 Speaker 1: and hopefully we'll start getting some better news today. The 497 00:32:45,680 --> 00:32:47,560 Speaker 1: Senate is going to be so important.
