1 00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:03,320 Speaker 1: Welcome to today's edition of the Clay Travis and Buck 2 00:00:03,360 --> 00:00:08,600 Speaker 1: Sexton Show podcast. Welcome back in Clay Travis buck Sexton Show. 3 00:00:08,840 --> 00:00:12,520 Speaker 1: As we are breaking down the day after election day. 4 00:00:12,720 --> 00:00:19,000 Speaker 1: Latest update for you, Nevada still counting, Arizona still counting, 5 00:00:19,440 --> 00:00:25,560 Speaker 1: Georgia headed to a runoff. Otherwise it is going to 6 00:00:25,600 --> 00:00:29,920 Speaker 1: be several days, I believe, before we know exactly who 7 00:00:29,920 --> 00:00:33,240 Speaker 1: won the Senate. Things are looking good in the House, 8 00:00:33,360 --> 00:00:36,720 Speaker 1: but we are still waiting to know exactly what is 9 00:00:36,760 --> 00:00:40,239 Speaker 1: going to happen there. If you are just getting in 10 00:00:40,240 --> 00:00:44,479 Speaker 1: the car with us, Senator Ron Johnson has one and 11 00:00:44,760 --> 00:00:48,760 Speaker 1: so again, as we told you it likely would, this 12 00:00:48,920 --> 00:00:52,720 Speaker 1: race still coming down for who controls the Senate to 13 00:00:52,840 --> 00:00:57,840 Speaker 1: Georgia to Nevada to Arizona. Whoever wins two out of 14 00:00:58,000 --> 00:01:02,480 Speaker 1: three of those seats will have control. Now. Of course 15 00:01:03,680 --> 00:01:05,800 Speaker 1: Democrats have the tie break, which is where we are 16 00:01:05,880 --> 00:01:09,720 Speaker 1: right now, so they have flipped one seat right now 17 00:01:09,760 --> 00:01:13,240 Speaker 1: in Pennsylvania. Laxalt is up in Nevada. That is looking good. 18 00:01:13,760 --> 00:01:16,200 Speaker 1: We will see what happens in Arizona. I want to 19 00:01:16,240 --> 00:01:20,440 Speaker 1: read you this which was just tweeted by Carrie Lake, 20 00:01:21,280 --> 00:01:28,200 Speaker 1: whow We're going to win big, stay tuned. Arizona remaining ballots, 21 00:01:28,200 --> 00:01:32,560 Speaker 1: election day and early drop offs are all breaking bigly, 22 00:01:32,760 --> 00:01:37,480 Speaker 1: all caps for us, just like we knew they would. 23 00:01:38,360 --> 00:01:43,360 Speaker 1: Carry Lake very close to taking the lead already in Arizona. 24 00:01:43,400 --> 00:01:46,039 Speaker 1: And what she has just tweeted out is that the 25 00:01:46,160 --> 00:01:49,440 Speaker 1: remaining votes that are out there and let me look 26 00:01:49,440 --> 00:01:53,920 Speaker 1: at the most the latest tally at least out there, Buck, 27 00:01:54,040 --> 00:01:58,920 Speaker 1: right now, she is down twelve thousand votes with sixty 28 00:01:59,040 --> 00:02:02,840 Speaker 1: six percent of the votes in in Arizona. Now, the 29 00:02:02,920 --> 00:02:06,120 Speaker 1: Blake Masters people who are running behind carry Lake right 30 00:02:06,160 --> 00:02:10,120 Speaker 1: now also think that they still have a chance to 31 00:02:10,160 --> 00:02:13,200 Speaker 1: make a run. But the Carry Lake people are saying 32 00:02:13,360 --> 00:02:18,040 Speaker 1: she is going to win in Arizona. So figuring out 33 00:02:18,080 --> 00:02:20,720 Speaker 1: exactly the post mortem Buck can be a bit difficult, 34 00:02:20,800 --> 00:02:24,560 Speaker 1: because let's be honest, if we won Nevada and Herschel 35 00:02:24,680 --> 00:02:26,720 Speaker 1: ends up winning the runoff, and we win the Senate 36 00:02:26,800 --> 00:02:28,880 Speaker 1: and we win the House, it's a pretty good day, 37 00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:32,120 Speaker 1: is what I'm saying. I mean, definitely, last night is 38 00:02:32,160 --> 00:02:35,160 Speaker 1: almost certainly going to be a move for the GOP 39 00:02:35,320 --> 00:02:38,560 Speaker 1: in the right direction than you know, better than it 40 00:02:38,720 --> 00:02:41,959 Speaker 1: was with House control. There is a real chance here 41 00:02:42,200 --> 00:02:48,240 Speaker 1: of Senate control still and carry Lake's victory in Arizona, 42 00:02:48,280 --> 00:02:51,480 Speaker 1: certainly for Arizonans would be would be great, and we 43 00:02:51,560 --> 00:02:53,760 Speaker 1: think that she'll be a major voice for the party 44 00:02:54,120 --> 00:02:57,919 Speaker 1: going forward. Look, it wasn't. No one's saying it wasn't 45 00:02:57,919 --> 00:03:01,760 Speaker 1: a catastrophe. R right, we're not. We're not being catastrophist here. 46 00:03:02,040 --> 00:03:04,560 Speaker 1: But relative to what the numbers were showing, there was 47 00:03:04,720 --> 00:03:09,799 Speaker 1: under performance. Uh now there, And we did say many times. 48 00:03:10,080 --> 00:03:11,760 Speaker 1: This is why we kept saying it's looking good, it's 49 00:03:11,760 --> 00:03:13,560 Speaker 1: looking good, Please get out and vote. It's gonna be 50 00:03:13,639 --> 00:03:16,720 Speaker 1: super tight. It's gonna be super tight. Anytime you're talking 51 00:03:17,080 --> 00:03:20,920 Speaker 1: about elections that will be decided with such small percentages 52 00:03:20,960 --> 00:03:22,960 Speaker 1: of the vote, I mean, this is I'm gonna go 53 00:03:22,960 --> 00:03:24,679 Speaker 1: out there on a limb right now and say, guess what. 54 00:03:25,000 --> 00:03:28,960 Speaker 1: Twenty twenty four Pennsylvania probably gonna be a really tight election. 55 00:03:30,080 --> 00:03:33,640 Speaker 1: Doesn't matter. Twenty twenty four Georgia probably gonna be a 56 00:03:33,639 --> 00:03:36,080 Speaker 1: really tight election. This is the you know, I community 57 00:03:36,080 --> 00:03:37,440 Speaker 1: before I was kind of kidding. The problem is there 58 00:03:37,480 --> 00:03:39,600 Speaker 1: too many Democrat voters in some of these states. Yeah, 59 00:03:39,840 --> 00:03:42,400 Speaker 1: now that doesn't mean we can't win in those states. 60 00:03:42,440 --> 00:03:45,280 Speaker 1: But you what we saw here, and I think that 61 00:03:45,440 --> 00:03:46,560 Speaker 1: this is a lot of what you and I rea. 62 00:03:46,640 --> 00:03:49,119 Speaker 1: First of all, you you and I, as ever knows, 63 00:03:49,160 --> 00:03:52,480 Speaker 1: came together on the issue of COVID sanity. Yeah, the 64 00:03:52,520 --> 00:03:54,360 Speaker 1: first time I ever actually talked to Clay on a 65 00:03:54,440 --> 00:03:56,080 Speaker 1: radio show. We're like, what is wrong? Why are all 66 00:03:56,080 --> 00:03:58,600 Speaker 1: these lunatics like Fauci locking us down with the masks? 67 00:03:58,600 --> 00:04:01,280 Speaker 1: It's so stupid. That seemed to be a non factor 68 00:04:01,280 --> 00:04:03,800 Speaker 1: in the election, which for us, I think was just disappointing, 69 00:04:04,120 --> 00:04:09,040 Speaker 1: and it just goes to show the political trench warfare 70 00:04:09,400 --> 00:04:12,440 Speaker 1: that we're in right now. So that was one part 71 00:04:12,440 --> 00:04:14,640 Speaker 1: of it. And also that you could have all the 72 00:04:14,720 --> 00:04:18,920 Speaker 1: major issues that everyone agrees are the major issues having 73 00:04:18,960 --> 00:04:24,479 Speaker 1: Democrat failure all over them. Economy, crime, the border, every degree, 74 00:04:24,520 --> 00:04:28,279 Speaker 1: those were the issues. The top three didn't really matter, 75 00:04:28,480 --> 00:04:30,919 Speaker 1: not in the way that we thought it would. Republicans 76 00:04:30,920 --> 00:04:33,599 Speaker 1: showed up in these states, Democrats showed up in these states. 77 00:04:33,720 --> 00:04:36,240 Speaker 1: Any sense that there were a lot of defections from 78 00:04:36,240 --> 00:04:38,719 Speaker 1: the Democrats side, I think that has been wiped away 79 00:04:38,880 --> 00:04:40,320 Speaker 1: and that there was going to be. You know that 80 00:04:40,360 --> 00:04:42,559 Speaker 1: we did a little better than expected with Hispanic voters 81 00:04:42,560 --> 00:04:44,480 Speaker 1: in some place, which is great. Hopefully we get a 82 00:04:44,520 --> 00:04:47,920 Speaker 1: lot more of that. No surprises though in a lot 83 00:04:47,920 --> 00:04:49,679 Speaker 1: of these places. I mean, this is what's so interesting, 84 00:04:49,680 --> 00:04:51,760 Speaker 1: all the data that said things were shifting in big 85 00:04:51,800 --> 00:04:55,040 Speaker 1: ways anywhere. If you just counted that, if you've said 86 00:04:55,080 --> 00:04:58,080 Speaker 1: that's nothing, you would have basically known what last night 87 00:04:58,120 --> 00:05:00,000 Speaker 1: was going to look like. Which was it? I said, less, 88 00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:01,520 Speaker 1: I remember this, We were I had a few shots 89 00:05:01,560 --> 00:05:04,479 Speaker 1: at to kill at this point cassa dragonas by fantast 90 00:05:04,480 --> 00:05:06,440 Speaker 1: We got it for Jesse because we wanted to make 91 00:05:06,480 --> 00:05:08,360 Speaker 1: sure that he had his super expensive to kill a. 92 00:05:08,440 --> 00:05:11,280 Speaker 1: Jesse Kelly our buddy. Um, and thanks to him, and 93 00:05:11,320 --> 00:05:14,120 Speaker 1: thanks to Michael Barry for showing up last Super fun 94 00:05:14,200 --> 00:05:17,960 Speaker 1: guys to have at your party and super insightful political minds. Guys, 95 00:05:17,960 --> 00:05:19,520 Speaker 1: that's fun to watch the returns come in when it 96 00:05:19,560 --> 00:05:22,000 Speaker 1: so we had a great time. Um, But I said 97 00:05:22,080 --> 00:05:24,080 Speaker 1: last night it's kind of a gentleman's B plus night. 98 00:05:24,760 --> 00:05:26,039 Speaker 1: Did you have did you guys ever talk about the 99 00:05:26,040 --> 00:05:31,160 Speaker 1: gentleman's B plus it at GW we talked a gentleman, Yeah, 100 00:05:31,240 --> 00:05:35,240 Speaker 1: you wear a Yeah, we had a lot of gentlemen ce. Okay, yeah, 101 00:05:35,279 --> 00:05:37,800 Speaker 1: So last night for the GOP was it. It's a 102 00:05:37,839 --> 00:05:40,839 Speaker 1: gentleman's b plus. It's not it's nothing for people to 103 00:05:40,920 --> 00:05:45,000 Speaker 1: be down about. It just wasn't. Florida was what we 104 00:05:45,000 --> 00:05:47,800 Speaker 1: were hoping would be there. There'd be ramifications across the country, 105 00:05:47,960 --> 00:05:50,920 Speaker 1: and that didn't happen. Although Florida, I mean, we got 106 00:05:50,920 --> 00:05:53,440 Speaker 1: the rod down Florida, my friends, because it's amazing. We 107 00:05:53,480 --> 00:05:56,000 Speaker 1: got the red tsunami in Florida. And look, we're texting 108 00:05:56,040 --> 00:06:00,480 Speaker 1: and continuing to get updates. If Nevada and Arizona both 109 00:06:00,600 --> 00:06:04,359 Speaker 1: end up going red, then we could win the Senate 110 00:06:04,440 --> 00:06:06,960 Speaker 1: not even having to worry about what could happen with Herschel. 111 00:06:07,080 --> 00:06:10,200 Speaker 1: That's not a crazy idea. I think the most likely 112 00:06:10,240 --> 00:06:13,480 Speaker 1: outcome now would be that it comes down to Georgia 113 00:06:13,600 --> 00:06:16,160 Speaker 1: again for control of the Senate. But I think we'd 114 00:06:16,160 --> 00:06:17,920 Speaker 1: bump up to an A minus, right, if you win 115 00:06:17,960 --> 00:06:22,320 Speaker 1: the Senate and you win the House. That's category the 116 00:06:22,360 --> 00:06:24,719 Speaker 1: governor's races, and this is so you know, I've really 117 00:06:24,760 --> 00:06:27,560 Speaker 1: been trying to think about this, the governor's races. I 118 00:06:27,640 --> 00:06:29,960 Speaker 1: was very open about this, and you've been very open 119 00:06:30,000 --> 00:06:33,919 Speaker 1: about this. It was really COVID and crime. Yeah, I 120 00:06:33,960 --> 00:06:36,400 Speaker 1: think for us and do people care enough in those 121 00:06:36,400 --> 00:06:39,120 Speaker 1: states now they had, and the truth is they didn't care. 122 00:06:39,240 --> 00:06:41,400 Speaker 1: They cared, They certainly cared in New York it was 123 00:06:41,640 --> 00:06:46,200 Speaker 1: it was the best Republican showing we've seen in a 124 00:06:46,279 --> 00:06:49,760 Speaker 1: long time, certainly over a decade. And they cared. They 125 00:06:49,760 --> 00:06:53,040 Speaker 1: didn't care enough. The governor's races would have just been 126 00:06:53,080 --> 00:06:56,719 Speaker 1: more of I think spiritual and narrative victories for sanity. 127 00:06:57,040 --> 00:06:59,360 Speaker 1: But if we're really looking at the cold, hard facts, 128 00:06:59,480 --> 00:07:01,760 Speaker 1: if you get that we got the House pretty much, 129 00:07:02,360 --> 00:07:04,160 Speaker 1: you get the Senate. I mean, okay, we didn't get 130 00:07:04,200 --> 00:07:07,240 Speaker 1: fifty four seats, but having control is what really matters. 131 00:07:07,240 --> 00:07:11,240 Speaker 1: Fifty one versus fifty is seismically different, as many of 132 00:07:11,280 --> 00:07:16,080 Speaker 1: you know, all right, talking positive negatives, I think one 133 00:07:16,120 --> 00:07:17,880 Speaker 1: of the biggest things to come out of this is 134 00:07:17,920 --> 00:07:20,920 Speaker 1: Buck I said it on the show. I was wrong 135 00:07:20,960 --> 00:07:23,280 Speaker 1: on this. I will own it. I think you're going 136 00:07:23,360 --> 00:07:26,680 Speaker 1: to get a stake on this one. I thought Joe 137 00:07:26,680 --> 00:07:29,440 Speaker 1: Biden would get swept out in the Red tsunami. I 138 00:07:29,520 --> 00:07:33,720 Speaker 1: thought that we were going to have a nationwide repudiation 139 00:07:33,960 --> 00:07:39,080 Speaker 1: of the Biden administration. Instead, Biden is not going to 140 00:07:39,120 --> 00:07:42,679 Speaker 1: have a disastrous result in the mid terms. And given 141 00:07:42,760 --> 00:07:45,360 Speaker 1: the numbers that we see out there. I think a 142 00:07:45,400 --> 00:07:48,000 Speaker 1: lot of Democrats are going to look at it and say, 143 00:07:48,520 --> 00:07:51,280 Speaker 1: we're going to run the same game plan again in 144 00:07:51,360 --> 00:07:54,760 Speaker 1: twenty twenty four, even though Joe Biden is eighty two 145 00:07:55,120 --> 00:07:59,400 Speaker 1: and dementia riddled and unable to actually do the job 146 00:07:59,400 --> 00:08:02,679 Speaker 1: of president. It. We just got John Fetterman and dragged 147 00:08:02,760 --> 00:08:06,239 Speaker 1: his broke ass right across the finish line. We're gonna 148 00:08:06,280 --> 00:08:09,800 Speaker 1: do Weekend d Bernie's Part two. Joe Biden is going 149 00:08:09,840 --> 00:08:12,040 Speaker 1: to be the nominee you stuck, you stuck to your 150 00:08:12,040 --> 00:08:14,120 Speaker 1: guns on it. I thought he was going to be 151 00:08:14,160 --> 00:08:17,600 Speaker 1: the major casualty of the Red tsunami. And so I 152 00:08:17,640 --> 00:08:21,600 Speaker 1: think if you're a Republican waking up today, the one 153 00:08:21,720 --> 00:08:24,480 Speaker 1: positive is I don't think Biden is that good of 154 00:08:24,520 --> 00:08:27,880 Speaker 1: a candidate. And I do believe that if the Republicans 155 00:08:27,960 --> 00:08:30,880 Speaker 1: nominate the right candidate in twenty four, and there's gonna 156 00:08:30,880 --> 00:08:34,160 Speaker 1: be a big nominating battle fight over this, I think 157 00:08:34,160 --> 00:08:37,880 Speaker 1: we could break up some of that trench warfare because 158 00:08:37,920 --> 00:08:39,840 Speaker 1: I think it's gonna be hard. As bad as Biden 159 00:08:39,920 --> 00:08:42,480 Speaker 1: is now, Buck, imagine how much worse he's gonna be. 160 00:08:43,320 --> 00:08:46,360 Speaker 1: So this is first, well, thank you for the h 161 00:08:46,520 --> 00:08:49,040 Speaker 1: I've lost. I'm just gonna tell you, you're probably buying 162 00:08:49,080 --> 00:08:54,280 Speaker 1: me two steaks. So you're Hunter. Biden's not getting indicted now, 163 00:08:54,400 --> 00:08:57,120 Speaker 1: my man, No way, no, how I think he still 164 00:08:57,200 --> 00:08:59,600 Speaker 1: might because I still think they might invite indict Trump 165 00:08:59,679 --> 00:09:01,720 Speaker 1: and that's the way that they do it. Well, it 166 00:09:01,800 --> 00:09:04,319 Speaker 1: was this year we said to be fair. But okay, 167 00:09:04,320 --> 00:09:05,920 Speaker 1: maybe you think Hunter's still going to in and die it. 168 00:09:05,960 --> 00:09:09,720 Speaker 1: Although you know, I'm not sure that Democrats fear Trump. 169 00:09:10,320 --> 00:09:13,960 Speaker 1: I will say at this point, I'm just gonna say this, 170 00:09:14,000 --> 00:09:16,120 Speaker 1: and I don't want to upset anybody, because I know 171 00:09:16,400 --> 00:09:18,320 Speaker 1: Trump did so much for the country, was such a 172 00:09:18,320 --> 00:09:22,440 Speaker 1: good president. The Democrats want Trump. They want they want 173 00:09:22,520 --> 00:09:25,320 Speaker 1: him to be the nominee. Now, people might be shouting 174 00:09:25,440 --> 00:09:28,319 Speaker 1: right now, and they might be right, yeah, Trump will 175 00:09:28,360 --> 00:09:32,240 Speaker 1: show them that may be true, correct, But I assure everybody, 176 00:09:32,240 --> 00:09:34,360 Speaker 1: and I do either Democrats that I still speak. You're 177 00:09:34,360 --> 00:09:35,960 Speaker 1: just to get a sense of what the I want, 178 00:09:35,960 --> 00:09:40,160 Speaker 1: say the enemy, what the opposition thinks. Yeah, they want Trump, 179 00:09:40,440 --> 00:09:44,199 Speaker 1: they want Biden Trump. Look what happened last night, Look 180 00:09:44,240 --> 00:09:46,760 Speaker 1: at the twenty twenty results. They want Trump. So we 181 00:09:46,840 --> 00:09:50,240 Speaker 1: have to take that into account. Now, Um, I think 182 00:09:50,280 --> 00:09:52,160 Speaker 1: that Biden is certainly going to be the nominee. And 183 00:09:52,160 --> 00:09:56,240 Speaker 1: I just remember, I think it's a very underrated superhero 184 00:09:56,320 --> 00:10:00,600 Speaker 1: movie Blade Snipes really good from the nineties, very underrated. 185 00:10:00,640 --> 00:10:03,439 Speaker 1: So it was before all the there's a quote that 186 00:10:03,520 --> 00:10:05,240 Speaker 1: he says, I think he's quoting somebody, I don't know 187 00:10:05,280 --> 00:10:06,760 Speaker 1: who it is, but he says, when you understand the 188 00:10:06,840 --> 00:10:09,320 Speaker 1: nature of a thing, you understand what it's capable of. Yeah. 189 00:10:09,679 --> 00:10:13,800 Speaker 1: I understand the nature of the LIB. I understand that 190 00:10:13,880 --> 00:10:16,800 Speaker 1: they are ruthless. And what's amazing is that I thought 191 00:10:16,840 --> 00:10:20,320 Speaker 1: that beforehand, just because initially I had expected they won't 192 00:10:20,800 --> 00:10:23,400 Speaker 1: make it Biden. I'm talking about now twenty twenty. They 193 00:10:23,440 --> 00:10:25,400 Speaker 1: won't make it Biden, because that's so crazy. I learned 194 00:10:25,440 --> 00:10:30,120 Speaker 1: a lesson, and the lesson was anything anyone they don't care. Now, 195 00:10:30,200 --> 00:10:33,400 Speaker 1: when you pile on top of that the John Fetterman situation, 196 00:10:34,920 --> 00:10:36,960 Speaker 1: you know you're in that same place. Number. You realize 197 00:10:37,160 --> 00:10:39,560 Speaker 1: when you understand the nature of the LIB they are 198 00:10:39,640 --> 00:10:43,120 Speaker 1: capable of anything. For power. They will prop Joe Biden 199 00:10:43,240 --> 00:10:45,880 Speaker 1: up and they will feel not the least bit of shame, 200 00:10:46,120 --> 00:10:48,000 Speaker 1: Clay if he runs for your election and wins and 201 00:10:48,080 --> 00:10:50,640 Speaker 1: steps down six months after winning, they won't be like 202 00:10:50,760 --> 00:10:53,880 Speaker 1: we lied everybody. They laugh the data. I think you 203 00:10:54,040 --> 00:10:58,160 Speaker 1: have to constantly be questioning your opinions based on new 204 00:10:58,240 --> 00:11:01,319 Speaker 1: information and new data. That's what rational and intelligent people do. 205 00:11:02,120 --> 00:11:04,720 Speaker 1: And the way that they were able to drag John 206 00:11:04,800 --> 00:11:09,079 Speaker 1: Fetterman across the finish line was so staggering to me 207 00:11:09,800 --> 00:11:12,400 Speaker 1: that I said, there's no way they're kicking Biden to 208 00:11:12,480 --> 00:11:16,080 Speaker 1: the curve. Now, Biden might legitimately have a health condition 209 00:11:16,120 --> 00:11:18,040 Speaker 1: in the next two years, he might die, right, I 210 00:11:18,080 --> 00:11:20,959 Speaker 1: mean at his age, and I don't want it to happen, certainly, 211 00:11:21,360 --> 00:11:24,959 Speaker 1: But when you're seventy nine or eighty years old, people 212 00:11:25,040 --> 00:11:28,079 Speaker 1: get sick, people get unhealthy. Two years and more in 213 00:11:28,120 --> 00:11:30,800 Speaker 1: the White House, there's no telling what his physical condition 214 00:11:30,960 --> 00:11:35,719 Speaker 1: might deteriorate too. But if they are physically able to 215 00:11:35,920 --> 00:11:39,240 Speaker 1: do so, they are going to nominate Joe Biden, and 216 00:11:39,400 --> 00:11:41,360 Speaker 1: they are going to try to drag him across the 217 00:11:41,480 --> 00:11:44,920 Speaker 1: line again, just like they did with John Fetterman weekend 218 00:11:44,960 --> 00:11:47,640 Speaker 1: at Bernie's two style. So I think if you're a 219 00:11:47,720 --> 00:11:52,160 Speaker 1: strategic analyzer of the larger political picture, you need to 220 00:11:52,240 --> 00:11:56,800 Speaker 1: be thinking, Okay, who can beat Joe Biden? Who gets 221 00:11:56,880 --> 00:11:59,000 Speaker 1: us out of this trench warfare. Buck. It's almost like 222 00:11:59,040 --> 00:12:02,120 Speaker 1: the last two years didn't happen other than Florida where 223 00:12:02,160 --> 00:12:04,920 Speaker 1: we got the red tsunami. You pretty much could snap 224 00:12:05,000 --> 00:12:07,679 Speaker 1: your fingers and it's like people voted the day after 225 00:12:08,200 --> 00:12:11,320 Speaker 1: the twenty twenty presidential election, because it's essentially, what are 226 00:12:11,360 --> 00:12:13,880 Speaker 1: we going to be in the Senate fifty fifty ish? 227 00:12:14,080 --> 00:12:15,680 Speaker 1: What are we going to be in the House fifty 228 00:12:15,760 --> 00:12:19,240 Speaker 1: fifty ish? There's almost not any dividing line at all. 229 00:12:19,559 --> 00:12:22,520 Speaker 1: It's as if the last two years didn't happen. You 230 00:12:22,600 --> 00:12:25,920 Speaker 1: know what happens if you don't have enough testosterone. You 231 00:12:26,080 --> 00:12:28,800 Speaker 1: vote for whoever the Democrats tell you to, even if 232 00:12:28,840 --> 00:12:31,559 Speaker 1: it's somebody who clearly can't do the job, because you 233 00:12:31,679 --> 00:12:34,079 Speaker 1: just do what you're told. You want to have the 234 00:12:34,200 --> 00:12:36,200 Speaker 1: drive and focus that you need to get through your 235 00:12:36,280 --> 00:12:38,880 Speaker 1: day and to make your own decisions, to make up 236 00:12:38,920 --> 00:12:40,800 Speaker 1: your own mind, to be able to stand on your 237 00:12:40,800 --> 00:12:44,040 Speaker 1: own two feet without doing whatever the Democrat apparatus demands 238 00:12:44,120 --> 00:12:48,320 Speaker 1: of you. But you need the right biochemistry to get there, right. 239 00:12:48,480 --> 00:12:51,199 Speaker 1: You need to have the oomph, the focus, the drive, 240 00:12:51,320 --> 00:12:53,960 Speaker 1: the energy or else.

A lot of you are lighting up 270 00:14:21,480 --> 00:14:25,880 Speaker 1: the lines, obviously, thoughts a plenty on the election situation. 271 00:14:26,000 --> 00:14:29,000 Speaker 1: Let's keep in mind it's very tight in the House. 272 00:14:29,440 --> 00:14:33,040 Speaker 1: It's ultra tight in the Senate, so you know, we 273 00:14:33,080 --> 00:14:35,240 Speaker 1: don't know. I mean, it could have actually been an 274 00:14:35,280 --> 00:14:38,400 Speaker 1: A minus night for the GOP, and it could be 275 00:14:38,600 --> 00:14:43,120 Speaker 1: a D minus night for the GOP. We just don't know, friends, 276 00:14:43,160 --> 00:14:45,360 Speaker 1: I mean, we're trying to We're dealing with this as 277 00:14:45,400 --> 00:14:48,360 Speaker 1: it comes, so just be clear. The House is looking 278 00:14:48,440 --> 00:14:50,600 Speaker 1: good for the GOP. It is not a lock, and 279 00:14:51,000 --> 00:14:53,040 Speaker 1: it is a total coin flip right now for a 280 00:14:53,120 --> 00:14:55,920 Speaker 1: Senate control. So we don't even really know what to 281 00:14:56,040 --> 00:14:58,480 Speaker 1: say about the end results because we don't have them. 282 00:14:58,800 --> 00:15:02,280 Speaker 1: Let's get Steve and Lancaster, Pennsylvania has got some thoughts 283 00:15:02,360 --> 00:15:06,280 Speaker 1: on Fetterman. Steve, can you just like explain to us 284 00:15:06,520 --> 00:15:09,480 Speaker 1: how anyone who lives in Pennsylvania could vote for that guy? 285 00:15:10,760 --> 00:15:16,560 Speaker 1: We're just hard to fathom. Well, I think they voted 286 00:15:16,640 --> 00:15:21,840 Speaker 1: for him because Oz represented a vacuum. Uh he uh, 287 00:15:22,240 --> 00:15:25,840 Speaker 1: he was. He only got the nomination in the primary 288 00:15:26,040 --> 00:15:33,280 Speaker 1: over Dave McCormick because Trump we would have had we 289 00:15:33,360 --> 00:15:35,520 Speaker 1: got to drop him. We got to drop him. Dave 290 00:15:35,600 --> 00:15:38,160 Speaker 1: McCormick would have been the nominee if Trump had not 291 00:15:38,400 --> 00:15:41,600 Speaker 1: endorsed doctor Oz. There's no doubt, and the people who 292 00:15:41,840 --> 00:15:45,720 Speaker 1: supported Dave McCormick believe that he would have won this race. 293 00:15:46,920 --> 00:15:50,680 Speaker 1: My concern is, I don't know that that's true. Just 294 00:15:50,920 --> 00:15:55,280 Speaker 1: because Fetterman was an awful candidate. Oz was an infinitely 295 00:15:55,400 --> 00:15:59,400 Speaker 1: better candidate than Fetterman, and yet they were able to 296 00:15:59,600 --> 00:16:03,440 Speaker 1: drag Fetterman to the finish line. I don't know that 297 00:16:03,520 --> 00:16:06,040 Speaker 1: they wouldn't have done the same to McCormick. And certainly 298 00:16:07,040 --> 00:16:11,160 Speaker 1: the other problem was the Republicans wildly underperformed in the 299 00:16:11,240 --> 00:16:13,680 Speaker 1: governor's race. Yeah, my flo that was a challenge. My 300 00:16:13,760 --> 00:16:16,360 Speaker 1: friend Sean Parnell was going to be the Republican candidate 301 00:16:16,440 --> 00:16:20,560 Speaker 1: there and there was there was a smear campaign against him, 302 00:16:20,840 --> 00:16:23,560 Speaker 1: and Sean had to step aside. Sean was going to 303 00:16:23,640 --> 00:16:28,400 Speaker 1: be the GOP you know, remember, a war hero from Pittsburgh, 304 00:16:28,520 --> 00:16:31,840 Speaker 1: a great guy, and things were set about him and 305 00:16:31,880 --> 00:16:34,840 Speaker 1: it went into court and Sean would have won that. Look, 306 00:16:34,960 --> 00:16:38,680 Speaker 1: Sewn would have won. That races a nasty business. They 307 00:16:38,720 --> 00:16:41,760 Speaker 1: went after him, an ex wife, the whole thing. Um. 308 00:16:42,000 --> 00:16:45,440 Speaker 1: Sean Parnell would have won. And he's a good man. Anyway, 309 00:16:45,520 --> 00:16:48,120 Speaker 1: Let's see we got here. Paul in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Paul 310 00:16:48,160 --> 00:16:51,960 Speaker 1: what he got for us? Oh? He hung up, Well 311 00:16:52,320 --> 00:16:55,720 Speaker 1: he's got nothing for us. Justin in New Jersey? What 312 00:16:55,840 --> 00:16:59,320 Speaker 1: do you think justin? Hey? Buck? How you doing? Clay? 313 00:16:59,400 --> 00:17:01,960 Speaker 1: How great? All right? I mean you know that could 314 00:17:02,000 --> 00:17:04,159 Speaker 1: be better? Claire. I'll look at each other, We're like, 315 00:17:04,240 --> 00:17:05,600 Speaker 1: why do we get to go to the bar again? 316 00:17:05,680 --> 00:17:08,760 Speaker 1: But keep keep going. What I want to say is, 317 00:17:09,160 --> 00:17:13,320 Speaker 1: if there's any potential Trump de Santis primary, if de 318 00:17:13,480 --> 00:17:15,960 Speaker 1: Santis finds a way to win, is there any chance 319 00:17:16,080 --> 00:17:19,159 Speaker 1: Trump goes third party? Yeah? And this is not in 320 00:17:19,200 --> 00:17:21,919 Speaker 1: a good way. That's a fear for me, Yeah, Bucket, 321 00:17:21,960 --> 00:17:25,000 Speaker 1: I talked about that off the air. Um that would 322 00:17:25,080 --> 00:17:27,760 Speaker 1: that would be I let me say this, I do 323 00:17:27,920 --> 00:17:30,560 Speaker 1: not believe that Trump would do that, and that I 324 00:17:30,680 --> 00:17:32,560 Speaker 1: do not believe he would do so this is like asking, 325 00:17:32,640 --> 00:17:35,040 Speaker 1: you know, would your spouse betray you? I do not 326 00:17:35,240 --> 00:17:37,720 Speaker 1: believe not. Trump isn't my spout. You know what I'm saying. 327 00:17:38,000 --> 00:17:40,520 Speaker 1: I do not believe he would do that. I'm just 328 00:17:40,560 --> 00:17:42,920 Speaker 1: gonna leave it at that because that would be inexcusable 329 00:17:43,000 --> 00:17:44,919 Speaker 1: because it would guarantee And we talked about this off 330 00:17:44,960 --> 00:17:47,520 Speaker 1: the air if the Trump de Santis battle for the 331 00:17:47,640 --> 00:17:50,520 Speaker 1: nomination is so bad, Look, we both agree there's a 332 00:17:50,640 --> 00:17:53,200 Speaker 1: zero percent chance De Santis would run as a third party. 333 00:17:53,560 --> 00:17:55,640 Speaker 1: I don't think there's a zero percent chance that Trump 334 00:17:55,680 --> 00:17:57,960 Speaker 1: would run as a third party. That's something that'll be 335 00:17:58,000 --> 00:18:00,760 Speaker 1: talked about in the months ahead, for sure.

Appreciate all of you hanging out with us 355 00:19:01,480 --> 00:19:06,560 Speaker 1: as we are attempting to divine the message of the 356 00:19:06,720 --> 00:19:10,040 Speaker 1: mid term. As more and more races still remain to 357 00:19:10,119 --> 00:19:11,960 Speaker 1: be called. That will give us a sense of what 358 00:19:12,119 --> 00:19:14,560 Speaker 1: happened in the House and in the Senate, and we 359 00:19:14,640 --> 00:19:17,240 Speaker 1: are continuing to monitor all of those here with you. 360 00:19:17,400 --> 00:19:20,280 Speaker 1: We're joined now by our friend and Congressman Jim Jordan 361 00:19:20,560 --> 00:19:24,280 Speaker 1: of Ohio. Congressman, I know it's probably been crazy for 362 00:19:24,400 --> 00:19:28,680 Speaker 1: you over the last the last few hours, but let's 363 00:19:28,720 --> 00:19:33,200 Speaker 1: start here. How confident are you that Republicans have taken 364 00:19:33,280 --> 00:19:36,520 Speaker 1: back the House based on the map, the outstanding votes, 365 00:19:36,720 --> 00:19:41,280 Speaker 1: the races that are still TBD out there, No, I 366 00:19:41,600 --> 00:19:43,920 Speaker 1: feel pretty good about it. And you know, I you 367 00:19:44,000 --> 00:19:46,720 Speaker 1: know this from your background sports to Clay, I learned 368 00:19:46,720 --> 00:19:48,760 Speaker 1: a long time ago, winning beats losing and sometimes you 369 00:19:48,800 --> 00:19:52,159 Speaker 1: gotta win it overtime. But I think that's what's going 370 00:19:52,200 --> 00:19:53,720 Speaker 1: to happen. I think we're gonna win the House. And 371 00:19:53,840 --> 00:19:57,119 Speaker 1: it looks like Laxa's gonna win in Nevada and then 372 00:19:57,320 --> 00:20:00,359 Speaker 1: Herschel's in a runoff with Hope and when's the runoff? Um, 373 00:20:01,359 --> 00:20:02,879 Speaker 1: you know, win in the House, winning the Senates what 374 00:20:02,920 --> 00:20:04,360 Speaker 1: we set out to do, and if if that's where 375 00:20:04,400 --> 00:20:06,480 Speaker 1: we get, that's that's that's a huge one for the country. 376 00:20:07,800 --> 00:20:11,800 Speaker 1: Congressmanutes Buck, what were your biggest takeaways? I mean, it's 377 00:20:11,840 --> 00:20:13,920 Speaker 1: tough for us right now because we're trying to assess 378 00:20:14,920 --> 00:20:18,480 Speaker 1: what the outcome is without knowing the outcome. We obviously 379 00:20:18,560 --> 00:20:20,240 Speaker 1: have a lot of data points and have a general 380 00:20:20,320 --> 00:20:23,920 Speaker 1: sense of it. But it just feels like the blue 381 00:20:24,000 --> 00:20:26,840 Speaker 1: is blue, the red is red, it's razor thin, and 382 00:20:26,920 --> 00:20:28,840 Speaker 1: it's trench warfare out there. What do you take from 383 00:20:28,880 --> 00:20:33,640 Speaker 1: it all? Because the Democrats, Yeah, Biden's just awful being resident. 384 00:20:34,640 --> 00:20:37,600 Speaker 1: He is awful. And remember every Democrat ran away from him. 385 00:20:37,600 --> 00:20:40,560 Speaker 1: A bunch of Democrats ran like they were Republicans. And 386 00:20:40,840 --> 00:20:43,119 Speaker 1: again in politics, you guys know this. A lot of 387 00:20:43,160 --> 00:20:45,399 Speaker 1: times it comes down to the candidate, and it certainly 388 00:20:45,440 --> 00:20:48,040 Speaker 1: comes down to a work ethic. That's just the way 389 00:20:48,119 --> 00:20:49,760 Speaker 1: life is. You have if you're gonna get to the goal, 390 00:20:49,800 --> 00:20:51,840 Speaker 1: you're gonna achieve the dream, you gotta work hard. And 391 00:20:51,960 --> 00:20:54,400 Speaker 1: I always I point to my buddy Scott Perry, who 392 00:20:54,560 --> 00:20:56,560 Speaker 1: is in a tough seat in Pennsylvania, is gonna win 393 00:20:56,640 --> 00:20:59,280 Speaker 1: by ten points. They come after, they call him every name. 394 00:20:59,320 --> 00:21:02,400 Speaker 1: They took his Fall for Goodness stake, and he busted 395 00:21:02,520 --> 00:21:05,000 Speaker 1: his tail. I mean, he's the kind of guy going 396 00:21:05,000 --> 00:21:07,320 Speaker 1: to high school football games in the fall on Friday night, 397 00:21:07,480 --> 00:21:09,600 Speaker 1: walking up and down the bleachers, shaking hands with people 398 00:21:09,640 --> 00:21:12,240 Speaker 1: handing out hot chocolate. He's that kind of candidate. Sometimes 399 00:21:12,280 --> 00:21:14,520 Speaker 1: you have to work that hard to win these tough 400 00:21:14,640 --> 00:21:17,159 Speaker 1: races in the environment you describe Bucks and so I 401 00:21:17,240 --> 00:21:20,399 Speaker 1: think that's one of the takeaways is hard work pays off, frankly, 402 00:21:20,440 --> 00:21:24,200 Speaker 1: regardless of which party you're on. Okay, so what do 403 00:21:24,320 --> 00:21:27,119 Speaker 1: you think the time frame is here? Whin we'll know 404 00:21:27,480 --> 00:21:29,680 Speaker 1: what's going to happen in the House and the Senate. 405 00:21:29,720 --> 00:21:32,320 Speaker 1: A lot of people still apprehensive after twenty twenty. I 406 00:21:32,400 --> 00:21:35,480 Speaker 1: know you fought all those battles into the week. Do 407 00:21:35,600 --> 00:21:37,520 Speaker 1: we know who won the House and who won the Senate? 408 00:21:37,960 --> 00:21:39,560 Speaker 1: How do you kind of look at your tea leaves 409 00:21:39,600 --> 00:21:41,840 Speaker 1: in terms of the timeline and what people out there 410 00:21:41,920 --> 00:21:45,560 Speaker 1: should think in terms of knowing Unfortunately, how long it 411 00:21:45,720 --> 00:21:47,840 Speaker 1: takes to know who won our election. I wish every 412 00:21:47,920 --> 00:21:50,680 Speaker 1: state was like Florida, where three hours after they closed 413 00:21:50,720 --> 00:21:53,520 Speaker 1: the polls we know it all. Yeah, And by the way, 414 00:21:54,000 --> 00:21:57,159 Speaker 1: look at Florida. That was a win for freedom. We 415 00:21:57,280 --> 00:21:59,960 Speaker 1: have Annapoline and Luna had like eleven lyum buckspin again 416 00:22:00,080 --> 00:22:01,960 Speaker 1: sort of cannot we endorse in the House freedom funt 417 00:22:02,119 --> 00:22:04,399 Speaker 1: see wins. That is a win for people who are 418 00:22:04,440 --> 00:22:07,520 Speaker 1: willing to stand up in a bowl an articulate way 419 00:22:07,920 --> 00:22:09,840 Speaker 1: speak for the truth and speak for liberty. So that 420 00:22:10,080 --> 00:22:11,680 Speaker 1: that was I think one of the bright spots as well. 421 00:22:11,680 --> 00:22:13,680 Speaker 1: I'm sure you guys have been talking about that. To 422 00:22:13,720 --> 00:22:17,000 Speaker 1: answer your question, who in the heck knows? I do remember. 423 00:22:17,000 --> 00:22:18,960 Speaker 1: I'm old enough to remember when, you know, when we 424 00:22:19,080 --> 00:22:21,040 Speaker 1: had a paper ballot and we got all the results 425 00:22:21,080 --> 00:22:23,440 Speaker 1: that you know, midnight on election day, and now it 426 00:22:23,480 --> 00:22:25,720 Speaker 1: takes us days and days and days with all this technology, 427 00:22:25,960 --> 00:22:29,080 Speaker 1: So who the heck knows? I feel like I feel 428 00:22:29,119 --> 00:22:30,680 Speaker 1: like it's going to be some kind of decision for 429 00:22:30,760 --> 00:22:32,359 Speaker 1: the House here in the next couple of days. But 430 00:22:32,480 --> 00:22:36,320 Speaker 1: let's let's hope it's hope it sooner. But I don't know. Um, 431 00:22:37,000 --> 00:22:39,159 Speaker 1: it's frustrating. If it's frustrating for us, imagine what I 432 00:22:39,200 --> 00:22:41,080 Speaker 1: just like for the American people who who don't live 433 00:22:41,119 --> 00:22:43,679 Speaker 1: this stuff every day like we do, no doubt, Congress 434 00:22:43,720 --> 00:22:46,880 Speaker 1: and Jim Jordan with us now Congressman there I think 435 00:22:47,000 --> 00:22:49,840 Speaker 1: is a is a fair criticism or maybe it's just 436 00:22:50,040 --> 00:22:52,480 Speaker 1: you know, the Monday morning quarterbacking here, I guess in 437 00:22:52,520 --> 00:22:56,160 Speaker 1: this case Wednesday, but it's it's it's seeming to suggest 438 00:22:56,840 --> 00:22:59,840 Speaker 1: that there wasn't enough of a message from the GEO 439 00:23:00,080 --> 00:23:02,800 Speaker 1: be sure, Biden, and this is from the polling across 440 00:23:02,840 --> 00:23:04,800 Speaker 1: the board, not doing a good job in the economy, 441 00:23:05,000 --> 00:23:08,760 Speaker 1: Democrats are bad on crime, wide open border, etc. But 442 00:23:08,960 --> 00:23:11,480 Speaker 1: somehow it didn't translate in the red wave that we 443 00:23:11,600 --> 00:23:15,440 Speaker 1: had we had hoped for. Did Republicans miss an opportunity 444 00:23:16,000 --> 00:23:18,479 Speaker 1: to have a message of how we're going to make 445 00:23:18,520 --> 00:23:20,600 Speaker 1: things better? And do you think I mean, you're you're 446 00:23:20,600 --> 00:23:23,680 Speaker 1: a powerful voice inside of the GOP Congress. Do you 447 00:23:23,760 --> 00:23:26,240 Speaker 1: think that that's going to be something that gets increased 448 00:23:26,280 --> 00:23:30,200 Speaker 1: focus going forward? Essentially what is our agenda? Well, yeah, 449 00:23:30,240 --> 00:23:33,040 Speaker 1: there's there's gonna be some reflection. Uh, But I think 450 00:23:33,200 --> 00:23:36,880 Speaker 1: voters want someone who's gonna fight for what they said 451 00:23:36,920 --> 00:23:39,160 Speaker 1: they were gonna do, who's gonna stand up for them 452 00:23:39,320 --> 00:23:41,040 Speaker 1: and they know it, They know that that they know 453 00:23:41,160 --> 00:23:44,080 Speaker 1: that that candidate is genuine, that they genuinely care about 454 00:23:44,280 --> 00:23:46,000 Speaker 1: their their voters, and they're going to go do what 455 00:23:46,119 --> 00:23:47,680 Speaker 1: they said. I think that's what they're looking for and 456 00:23:47,760 --> 00:23:50,160 Speaker 1: that's why you you saw some good results from from 457 00:23:50,280 --> 00:23:54,080 Speaker 1: some Republicans around the country who I think embody that. Um. 458 00:23:54,480 --> 00:23:56,320 Speaker 1: But if there if there's something like wish you watch, 459 00:23:56,400 --> 00:23:58,119 Speaker 1: I think that that can that can be a problem. 460 00:23:58,240 --> 00:24:00,080 Speaker 1: So I think that's just a general sense that that 461 00:24:00,200 --> 00:24:02,600 Speaker 1: voters have. I do think they'll be reflection whenever. You 462 00:24:02,640 --> 00:24:05,040 Speaker 1: don't you know after every contest, whether you won by 463 00:24:05,080 --> 00:24:07,280 Speaker 1: him a mile or you win in overtime. As I said, 464 00:24:07,440 --> 00:24:11,040 Speaker 1: I think, I think there's always some reflection. I'm sure 465 00:24:11,040 --> 00:24:13,720 Speaker 1: there's going to be someone a part Congressman Jim Jordan 466 00:24:13,800 --> 00:24:16,520 Speaker 1: with US now. Trump has said he was on with 467 00:24:16,600 --> 00:24:18,200 Speaker 1: us yesterday. I don't know if you heard him. I 468 00:24:18,240 --> 00:24:21,000 Speaker 1: know you're probably running around like crazy getting ready for 469 00:24:21,160 --> 00:24:24,119 Speaker 1: the election. The plan was that he was going to 470 00:24:24,280 --> 00:24:28,680 Speaker 1: announce at Mara Lago on November fifteenth, which is six 471 00:24:28,800 --> 00:24:31,760 Speaker 1: days from now. Given that we may have a runoff 472 00:24:31,800 --> 00:24:35,920 Speaker 1: coming in Georgia that decides who wins the Senate, I'd 473 00:24:36,000 --> 00:24:38,919 Speaker 1: like to be optimistic about Nevada and also Arizona as 474 00:24:38,960 --> 00:24:41,680 Speaker 1: those votes are still being counted. Do you think Trump 475 00:24:41,760 --> 00:24:44,840 Speaker 1: should announce or would you encourage him? Hey, let's wait 476 00:24:44,880 --> 00:24:48,080 Speaker 1: and see what happens in Georgia, finish out the mid terms, 477 00:24:48,440 --> 00:24:51,600 Speaker 1: and then begin to work on twenty twenty four. Yeah, yeah, 478 00:24:51,640 --> 00:24:53,440 Speaker 1: that's President Trump's called. I was with the President on 479 00:24:53,600 --> 00:24:56,080 Speaker 1: Monday night. He gave a just amazing speech. Yeah, it 480 00:24:56,160 --> 00:25:00,640 Speaker 1: was great in Ohio, but it was huge and exactly 481 00:25:00,840 --> 00:25:03,520 Speaker 1: showed the contrast in real leadership like he has versus 482 00:25:03,600 --> 00:25:05,159 Speaker 1: what we have in the White House right now. So 483 00:25:05,280 --> 00:25:06,920 Speaker 1: I leave it up to President Trump. You guys know 484 00:25:06,960 --> 00:25:09,119 Speaker 1: where I'm at. I've supported President Trump. I think he 485 00:25:09,200 --> 00:25:10,959 Speaker 1: was did a great job and Franks who did more 486 00:25:11,040 --> 00:25:13,320 Speaker 1: what he said as president than any president we've ever had. 487 00:25:13,760 --> 00:25:16,480 Speaker 1: So that that's up to him. What what I'm focused 488 00:25:16,520 --> 00:25:17,840 Speaker 1: on is, let's make sure we win the House. It 489 00:25:17,880 --> 00:25:20,000 Speaker 1: looks like we're going to, and then I assume it's 490 00:25:20,000 --> 00:25:21,320 Speaker 1: going to go to a run off in Georgia. And 491 00:25:21,400 --> 00:25:23,960 Speaker 1: I know two years ago I was in Georgia trying 492 00:25:24,000 --> 00:25:26,080 Speaker 1: to help our candidates. Im I'll be back in Georgia 493 00:25:26,560 --> 00:25:29,280 Speaker 1: here in sometime over the next four weeks trying to 494 00:25:29,320 --> 00:25:31,040 Speaker 1: help personal you and me both congresh when I was 495 00:25:31,119 --> 00:25:33,239 Speaker 1: there for the final rally of Herschel. I imagine we're 496 00:25:33,280 --> 00:25:34,639 Speaker 1: going to have him on the show quite a bit 497 00:25:34,720 --> 00:25:37,200 Speaker 1: in that final month because it may be deja vu 498 00:25:37,280 --> 00:25:39,440 Speaker 1: all over again, right where you have this decision in 499 00:25:39,520 --> 00:25:43,040 Speaker 1: Georgia deciding who owns the Senate. Yeah, and by the way, 500 00:25:43,119 --> 00:25:45,320 Speaker 1: thanks for all you guys do given the truth every 501 00:25:45,400 --> 00:25:48,520 Speaker 1: day to the American people, it is so critical because 502 00:25:48,520 --> 00:25:50,200 Speaker 1: because they don't they certainly don't get it from the 503 00:25:50,240 --> 00:25:52,959 Speaker 1: corporate media. And you and you guys landed out there clearly, 504 00:25:53,080 --> 00:25:56,800 Speaker 1: articulately and frankly in a fun way. So often that's 505 00:25:56,840 --> 00:25:59,040 Speaker 1: that's just so valuable. So I appreciate that. And yeah, 506 00:25:59,040 --> 00:26:01,119 Speaker 1: I think we're all going to be in a hopefully 507 00:26:01,160 --> 00:26:03,280 Speaker 1: here over the next four weeks helping Hurssel win. Yeah, well, 508 00:26:03,320 --> 00:26:05,639 Speaker 1: we appreciate that a lot. Cons And Jordan, I I 509 00:26:05,720 --> 00:26:07,960 Speaker 1: just wanted to ask you for for anybody out there 510 00:26:08,040 --> 00:26:10,639 Speaker 1: right now, we're getting a lot of people who feel, 511 00:26:11,320 --> 00:26:13,440 Speaker 1: now we don't have the results, so it's tough. You know, 512 00:26:13,560 --> 00:26:16,120 Speaker 1: how dejected can you be when you don't know who 513 00:26:16,240 --> 00:26:19,800 Speaker 1: won what yet? But people are feeling like we you know, 514 00:26:19,880 --> 00:26:23,600 Speaker 1: we definitely underperformed expectations a little bit. What is your 515 00:26:23,680 --> 00:26:26,239 Speaker 1: message to them? Because you know, we're happy warriors here. 516 00:26:26,359 --> 00:26:29,800 Speaker 1: We stay in the fight no matter what. Yeah, Look, 517 00:26:30,119 --> 00:26:32,000 Speaker 1: the goal is to win the House and when the 518 00:26:32,080 --> 00:26:35,720 Speaker 1: Senate and stop the madness from the left. I think 519 00:26:35,760 --> 00:26:37,840 Speaker 1: we have a real good chance of doing that. Let's 520 00:26:37,880 --> 00:26:40,440 Speaker 1: stay focused on that. And then, also, like I said, 521 00:26:40,520 --> 00:26:43,040 Speaker 1: look at where Freedom won in such a strong way, 522 00:26:43,080 --> 00:26:44,840 Speaker 1: like in the state of Florida and in Ohio, we 523 00:26:44,960 --> 00:26:49,640 Speaker 1: won every statewide race Republican incumbents are running for reelection. 524 00:26:49,680 --> 00:26:52,000 Speaker 1: In the Congress, we won by like I had my 525 00:26:52,119 --> 00:26:54,640 Speaker 1: highest margin ever, and I now have the two most 526 00:26:54,720 --> 00:26:58,120 Speaker 1: populous counties, the growing part right just northwest of Columbus. 527 00:26:58,200 --> 00:26:59,960 Speaker 1: So I think there are lots of good things to put. 528 00:27:01,400 --> 00:27:03,720 Speaker 1: We need to stay focused on that and realize sometimes 529 00:27:03,760 --> 00:27:06,080 Speaker 1: you don't win as big as we'd like. But winning 530 00:27:06,119 --> 00:27:08,760 Speaker 1: beast losing. It looks like we're gonna win. Congressman Buck 531 00:27:08,760 --> 00:27:10,680 Speaker 1: and I were just talking about this to start the hour. 532 00:27:11,400 --> 00:27:15,280 Speaker 1: It feels like this mid term is actually going to 533 00:27:15,400 --> 00:27:18,600 Speaker 1: make it more likely that Democrats stick with Joe Biden. 534 00:27:19,440 --> 00:27:22,280 Speaker 1: I'm curious whether you would have that same read. Do 535 00:27:22,440 --> 00:27:25,520 Speaker 1: you think Biden is likely to be the nominee for 536 00:27:25,640 --> 00:27:29,880 Speaker 1: Democrats in twenty twenty four? And is maybe that actually 537 00:27:30,240 --> 00:27:33,600 Speaker 1: a net positive because he's one of the worst candidates 538 00:27:33,680 --> 00:27:36,720 Speaker 1: and certainly the worst president we've ever seen. I can't 539 00:27:36,760 --> 00:27:38,879 Speaker 1: imagine that in twenty twenty four he's going to be 540 00:27:38,920 --> 00:27:40,760 Speaker 1: even as good as he is now. And he ain't 541 00:27:40,800 --> 00:27:44,720 Speaker 1: good now. No, he's not. You know, I was asked 542 00:27:44,760 --> 00:27:46,320 Speaker 1: by someone in a couple of weeks ago, is there 543 00:27:46,359 --> 00:27:48,440 Speaker 1: anything positive you can point to from the Biden administration 544 00:27:48,480 --> 00:27:50,200 Speaker 1: and the Democrats? And I literally tried to think of something, 545 00:27:50,359 --> 00:27:52,520 Speaker 1: and I said, no, there isn't. And so, yeah, but 546 00:27:52,800 --> 00:27:55,000 Speaker 1: he's announced today that he's running, he said, the White 547 00:27:55,000 --> 00:27:56,760 Speaker 1: House is putting out that he's gonna run. We're getting 548 00:27:56,760 --> 00:27:57,919 Speaker 1: reports that he's I mean, I don't know if he's 549 00:27:57,920 --> 00:28:01,119 Speaker 1: specific nuts, but the reports are he's run. So it 550 00:28:01,280 --> 00:28:03,920 Speaker 1: sure looks like he's going to. And we're going to 551 00:28:03,960 --> 00:28:05,920 Speaker 1: help to help frame this thing up over the next 552 00:28:05,960 --> 00:28:08,639 Speaker 1: two years so that when President Trump runs, or if 553 00:28:08,640 --> 00:28:10,200 Speaker 1: he decides not to, but I think he's gone to 554 00:28:10,280 --> 00:28:12,879 Speaker 1: and that's who I want. If he runs, He's in 555 00:28:12,920 --> 00:28:14,800 Speaker 1: a position where we're going to win that and win 556 00:28:14,880 --> 00:28:16,480 Speaker 1: the White House and get the right kind of Attorney 557 00:28:16,480 --> 00:28:18,640 Speaker 1: general in there and the right kind of people doing 558 00:28:18,680 --> 00:28:21,520 Speaker 1: the things that the American people want. Congress and Jim 559 00:28:21,600 --> 00:28:24,200 Speaker 1: Jordan from Ohio, sir, we appreciate you, thanks for joining 560 00:28:24,280 --> 00:28:29,600 Speaker 1: us today. Bet thanks guys.

Phoenix Capital Groups suggests you diversify your investments. 563 00:28:38,640 --> 00:28:42,800 Speaker 1: They're introducing investors to high value oil and gas investments 564 00:28:42,840 --> 00:28:45,760 Speaker 1: here in the US with current yields from eight to 565 00:28:45,960 --> 00:28:50,560 Speaker 1: eleven percent APY paid monthly.

You 570 00:28:59,680 --> 00:29:01,800 Speaker 1: should only invest if you can afford to bear the 571 00:29:01,920 --> 00:29:05,040 Speaker 1: risk of loss. Before making investment decisions, you should carefully 572 00:29:05,040 --> 00:29:07,920 Speaker 1: consider and review all risks involved.

Welcome back to Clayanne Buck. 580 00:29:39,720 --> 00:29:45,040 Speaker 1: We're still waiting to see us more information data updates 581 00:29:45,120 --> 00:29:49,600 Speaker 1: come in about how this election went last night. This 582 00:29:49,720 --> 00:29:52,560 Speaker 1: is really a weird position. You know, I thought I 583 00:29:52,680 --> 00:29:54,360 Speaker 1: thought that the Federman race, by the way, it was 584 00:29:54,400 --> 00:29:56,160 Speaker 1: gonna I'd said this to you. I don't remember if 585 00:29:56,160 --> 00:29:57,600 Speaker 1: I said this on air, but I thought that one 586 00:29:57,680 --> 00:30:01,280 Speaker 1: in PA was maybe gonna take a few days to tabulate. 587 00:30:01,880 --> 00:30:03,920 Speaker 1: And yeah, I mean that that one looked like the 588 00:30:04,840 --> 00:30:08,120 Speaker 1: And now here we are with Georgia in that position. 589 00:30:08,720 --> 00:30:12,280 Speaker 1: And I do think if nothing else we can say this. 590 00:30:12,720 --> 00:30:14,080 Speaker 1: I mean, there's a lot a lot of stuff, a 591 00:30:14,120 --> 00:30:18,480 Speaker 1: lot of takeaways from it. But my thesis about Biden 592 00:30:19,120 --> 00:30:20,920 Speaker 1: and how he's going to run again, which now you 593 00:30:21,040 --> 00:30:24,920 Speaker 1: seem to be inclined to agree if the Democrats have 594 00:30:25,000 --> 00:30:28,520 Speaker 1: a stronger economy, that's going to be something that now 595 00:30:28,720 --> 00:30:30,719 Speaker 1: people might say next year, the economy is actually going 596 00:30:30,760 --> 00:30:33,520 Speaker 1: to get really rough in a recession. But given where 597 00:30:33,560 --> 00:30:36,160 Speaker 1: things are right now and some of the advantages of 598 00:30:36,160 --> 00:30:38,840 Speaker 1: the Republicans had, we all have to get used to 599 00:30:38,880 --> 00:30:41,720 Speaker 1: the fact that reality alone is not enough. Meaning just 600 00:30:42,160 --> 00:30:45,280 Speaker 1: objectively what's happening in the country, it's not enough. Democrats, 601 00:30:45,520 --> 00:30:51,160 Speaker 1: it's a it's a personal branding issue for so many 602 00:30:51,240 --> 00:30:53,200 Speaker 1: of them. It's this is who they are, it is 603 00:30:53,480 --> 00:30:58,240 Speaker 1: their religion. And Clay sent me this data point, which 604 00:30:58,400 --> 00:31:02,920 Speaker 1: is truly remarkable. This comes from a Brad will Cox 605 00:31:03,040 --> 00:31:07,200 Speaker 1: just wanted to say this. Married men broke Republican in 606 00:31:07,280 --> 00:31:12,840 Speaker 1: this election by twenty points. Married women went Republican by 607 00:31:13,480 --> 00:31:21,800 Speaker 1: fourteen points. Unmarried men went Republican by seven points. Unmarried 608 00:31:22,280 --> 00:31:30,840 Speaker 1: adult women went Democrat by a whopping thirty seven points. Now, 609 00:31:32,080 --> 00:31:34,320 Speaker 1: there are a lot of jokes and a lot of 610 00:31:34,400 --> 00:31:37,840 Speaker 1: things we could say about this, talking about kat Mom's 611 00:31:37,960 --> 00:31:41,480 Speaker 1: talking about you know, people that are always wanting to 612 00:31:41,560 --> 00:31:44,480 Speaker 1: talk to the manager for whatever reason, who see maybe 613 00:31:44,520 --> 00:31:48,240 Speaker 1: a little bitter or whatever. That number is stunning, Yeah, 614 00:31:48,400 --> 00:31:51,200 Speaker 1: and I think is actually very It's tied into a 615 00:31:51,320 --> 00:31:56,120 Speaker 1: lot of macrosocial trends that have been occurring over decades. Here. 616 00:31:57,200 --> 00:32:00,920 Speaker 1: I would argue that a lot of the gender destruction 617 00:32:01,040 --> 00:32:03,640 Speaker 1: ideology that we see ties into this. I would argue 618 00:32:03,680 --> 00:32:07,400 Speaker 1: that convincing women that family is a form of servitude 619 00:32:07,920 --> 00:32:12,560 Speaker 1: and that post what is a postmodernist feminism is effectively 620 00:32:12,640 --> 00:32:15,920 Speaker 1: a poison for the mind and soul that has infected 621 00:32:16,360 --> 00:32:20,280 Speaker 1: millions and millions of women in this country. Unfortunately, those 622 00:32:20,360 --> 00:32:24,520 Speaker 1: numbers are staggering, staggered, and it would reflect buck why 623 00:32:24,680 --> 00:32:28,240 Speaker 1: we think the trench warfare is as committed as it is. 624 00:32:29,040 --> 00:32:32,760 Speaker 1: We know that, for instance, take it outside of any 625 00:32:33,120 --> 00:32:37,280 Speaker 1: women as a group. Black women, for instance, are far 626 00:32:37,400 --> 00:32:39,959 Speaker 1: more committed to the Democrat Party than black men are, 627 00:32:40,600 --> 00:32:43,960 Speaker 1: and that would probably tie in there too. Unmarried black 628 00:32:44,040 --> 00:32:48,880 Speaker 1: women are probably one ninety nine point nine percent voting 629 00:32:49,640 --> 00:32:55,760 Speaker 1: for Democrat candidates. But this is really something to think 630 00:32:55,840 --> 00:33:02,040 Speaker 1: about because the number of persuadable voters, I think has 631 00:33:02,120 --> 00:33:05,960 Speaker 1: probably never been lower in our lives. And so as 632 00:33:06,040 --> 00:33:09,440 Speaker 1: you start to look towards twenty twenty four, I think 633 00:33:09,520 --> 00:33:12,120 Speaker 1: one of the things Republicans really have to deeply think 634 00:33:12,160 --> 00:33:15,120 Speaker 1: about is certainly you want to turn out your base, 635 00:33:15,400 --> 00:33:19,080 Speaker 1: and many elections now are just base turnout elections, right, Like, 636 00:33:19,360 --> 00:33:21,280 Speaker 1: how many of your diehards can you get to show 637 00:33:21,320 --> 00:33:25,240 Speaker 1: up at the poll? What if anything can you do 638 00:33:26,400 --> 00:33:30,440 Speaker 1: to try to reconfigure that trench warfare? And I would 639 00:33:30,520 --> 00:33:32,640 Speaker 1: say a lot of people need to go down to 640 00:33:32,720 --> 00:33:35,560 Speaker 1: Florida and they need to do a deep dive on 641 00:33:35,720 --> 00:33:38,959 Speaker 1: how rohnd de Santis went from winning by thirty thousand 642 00:33:39,040 --> 00:33:43,400 Speaker 1: votes in twenty eighteen to winning by twenty points four 643 00:33:43,520 --> 00:33:45,640 Speaker 1: years later. It was a two million votes. I think 644 00:33:45,680 --> 00:33:47,200 Speaker 1: he won by something, Is that right? I mean, it's 645 00:33:47,480 --> 00:33:51,080 Speaker 1: a massive, absolutely matter, the biggest see change from one 646 00:33:51,160 --> 00:33:55,000 Speaker 1: election to another election. I can remember at seeing it, 647 00:33:55,080 --> 00:33:57,760 Speaker 1: and Clay, you know, I will say to to what 648 00:33:57,920 --> 00:34:01,360 Speaker 1: you're getting to here, what you're alluding to about how 649 00:34:01,440 --> 00:34:05,680 Speaker 1: we can learn maybe from the Florida the Florida victory 650 00:34:05,960 --> 00:34:09,560 Speaker 1: which was massive. However you want to describe Florida miracle tsunami, 651 00:34:10,200 --> 00:34:13,359 Speaker 1: it is a statewide read tsunati, right, But I think 652 00:34:13,440 --> 00:34:16,960 Speaker 1: it's a lot of it does come down to competency 653 00:34:17,040 --> 00:34:20,399 Speaker 1: and results too. I think that now there are people 654 00:34:20,440 --> 00:34:24,000 Speaker 1: who are talking about the outflow from places like New York, California, 655 00:34:24,080 --> 00:34:28,439 Speaker 1: New Jersey, Massachusetts to Florida, specifically a lot of people 656 00:34:28,520 --> 00:34:31,440 Speaker 1: for whom double masking their kids outside and the freezing 657 00:34:31,480 --> 00:34:34,279 Speaker 1: cold weather said I'm out, you libs are crazy and 658 00:34:34,320 --> 00:34:35,920 Speaker 1: where do they go? Florida And a lot of them 659 00:34:35,960 --> 00:34:38,040 Speaker 1: registered and a lot of them voted there, so we 660 00:34:38,200 --> 00:34:40,400 Speaker 1: know that happened. So that is a component of this 661 00:34:41,560 --> 00:34:43,799 Speaker 1: as But I also think in a more general sense, 662 00:34:44,000 --> 00:34:45,880 Speaker 1: I was at the Rohn de Santist debate with Chully 663 00:34:45,960 --> 00:34:49,759 Speaker 1: Christ and Clay the greatest hits that he can put 664 00:34:49,880 --> 00:34:52,840 Speaker 1: up of you know, I forget exactly the numbers, but 665 00:34:53,080 --> 00:34:56,640 Speaker 1: you know, biggest budget surplus in state history, no state 666 00:34:56,719 --> 00:35:00,960 Speaker 1: income tax, biggest influx of people coming to Florida in 667 00:35:01,400 --> 00:35:05,640 Speaker 1: you know, a hundred years or whatever. All COVID like 668 00:35:06,200 --> 00:35:11,200 Speaker 1: the the results category for that state for people who 669 00:35:11,360 --> 00:35:15,120 Speaker 1: live there mattered, and Buck. What I would say is, 670 00:35:15,680 --> 00:35:18,320 Speaker 1: it's frustrating to believe that you're locked in on that 671 00:35:18,440 --> 00:35:25,319 Speaker 1: trench warfare. But remember, Florida was the ultimate battleground. There 672 00:35:25,480 --> 00:35:28,640 Speaker 1: is not a state that was more entrenched in the 673 00:35:28,760 --> 00:35:33,800 Speaker 1: twenty first century than Florida. The hanging chads, the butterfly 674 00:35:33,960 --> 00:35:38,200 Speaker 1: ballot in Palm Beach County. There wasn't a bigger battleground 675 00:35:38,280 --> 00:35:42,959 Speaker 1: in America when this century started than Florida. And even 676 00:35:43,040 --> 00:35:47,640 Speaker 1: in twenty eighteen, it was still so tight that De 677 00:35:47,760 --> 00:35:52,279 Speaker 1: Santis only won by thirty thousand votes. So there needs 678 00:35:52,360 --> 00:35:56,239 Speaker 1: to be a legitimate study of how de Santis took 679 00:35:56,320 --> 00:35:59,640 Speaker 1: Florida from trench warfare to break it out into the 680 00:35:59,719 --> 00:36:03,759 Speaker 1: open and routing his opposition. And then the question needs 681 00:36:03,800 --> 00:36:08,560 Speaker 1: to be asked, is there a roadmap? Is there a 682 00:36:08,760 --> 00:36:12,440 Speaker 1: game plan that has been implemented so successfully in Florida 683 00:36:12,760 --> 00:36:16,680 Speaker 1: where they legitimately had the red tsunami that we could 684 00:36:16,719 --> 00:36:20,960 Speaker 1: have going forward for the rest of the country. That's 685 00:36:21,000 --> 00:36:23,640 Speaker 1: something that we really need to figure out because at 686 00:36:23,719 --> 00:36:27,880 Speaker 1: some point, the only way trench warfare ends is with 687 00:36:28,040 --> 00:36:31,960 Speaker 1: a landslide victory, as you well know, Buck. But how 688 00:36:32,040 --> 00:36:35,239 Speaker 1: do we get to that landslide? Is twenty twenty four 689 00:36:35,320 --> 00:36:37,600 Speaker 1: possible because I don't think either party is going to 690 00:36:37,680 --> 00:36:41,760 Speaker 1: aggressively change their tactics now because they've each got fifty 691 00:36:41,800 --> 00:36:46,239 Speaker 1: percent of the vote. It's frustrating, but it's also eye 692 00:36:46,280 --> 00:36:49,360 Speaker 1: opening what they did in Florida. How did they do it? 693 00:36:49,760 --> 00:36:53,160 Speaker 1: How can we expand what happened in Florida nationwide and 694 00:36:53,360 --> 00:36:54,680 Speaker 1: get a true tsunami
