And then 15 00:00:59,440 --> 00:01:01,840 Speaker 1: doctor meth at Oz just joined us for a quick 16 00:01:01,880 --> 00:01:04,800 Speaker 1: recap in the final hour of the show today to 17 00:01:04,920 --> 00:01:07,959 Speaker 1: tell us he's obviously Senate candidate for Pennsylvania, a critical 18 00:01:08,000 --> 00:01:10,720 Speaker 1: Senate race. Going to let him make his final pitch 19 00:01:11,080 --> 00:01:14,400 Speaker 1: to the voters of Pennsylvania. Why not only do they 20 00:01:14,400 --> 00:01:15,960 Speaker 1: need to get out there and Clayton. I've been saying 21 00:01:16,000 --> 00:01:20,040 Speaker 1: this all along. This needs to be this needs to 22 00:01:20,080 --> 00:01:23,360 Speaker 1: be an effort where you're getting people that you know 23 00:01:23,640 --> 00:01:27,000 Speaker 1: to go vote, that you're knocking on the doors, if 24 00:01:27,040 --> 00:01:29,600 Speaker 1: you have the time for candidates that you care about, 25 00:01:29,640 --> 00:01:33,679 Speaker 1: you're donating some money. I know that feels like, well, 26 00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:36,959 Speaker 1: is that really necessary? In so many of these races, 27 00:01:37,000 --> 00:01:39,920 Speaker 1: it really just comes down to television ads. And this 28 00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:45,319 Speaker 1: is why these political consultants are breaking it down to 29 00:01:45,400 --> 00:01:48,840 Speaker 1: the most scientific level they can about what ads need 30 00:01:48,920 --> 00:01:51,640 Speaker 1: to run, when and where, what mediums. And this is 31 00:01:51,640 --> 00:01:54,480 Speaker 1: why you've got millions and millions of dollars, tens of 32 00:01:54,560 --> 00:01:57,000 Speaker 1: millions of dollars being sent in spend in some of 33 00:01:57,000 --> 00:01:59,680 Speaker 1: these Senate races. And it's the Democrats who are the 34 00:01:59,720 --> 00:02:02,320 Speaker 1: ones flush with cash in a lot of these close races. 35 00:02:02,360 --> 00:02:05,920 Speaker 1: So we'll discuss that one. We've also got more on 36 00:02:05,960 --> 00:02:10,600 Speaker 1: this story actually broken by the intercept that the DHS 37 00:02:10,600 --> 00:02:17,919 Speaker 1: and FBI were involved in disinformation discussions with pretty much 38 00:02:17,960 --> 00:02:20,880 Speaker 1: all the major social media companies Facebook, Twitter, and others. 39 00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:25,519 Speaker 1: It's a huge story. It goes to the twenty twenty election, 40 00:02:26,080 --> 00:02:29,920 Speaker 1: the integrity of that and future elections. Government interference in 41 00:02:29,919 --> 00:02:32,919 Speaker 1: the first Amendment. It's a big deal. We'll talk more 42 00:02:32,960 --> 00:02:34,720 Speaker 1: about that, but I've got to clay, we got a 43 00:02:34,760 --> 00:02:38,840 Speaker 1: lot because today at three o'clock, I think it is eastern, 44 00:02:39,440 --> 00:02:46,040 Speaker 1: roughly thereabouts, Joe Biden is going to be speaking in Florida. 45 00:02:46,240 --> 00:02:49,080 Speaker 1: In an effort to make it seem keep in mind 46 00:02:49,480 --> 00:02:54,760 Speaker 1: that the governor of Florida, Rhnda Santis, is going up 47 00:02:54,760 --> 00:02:58,240 Speaker 1: to New York to help Lee Zeldon. Side note, Lee 48 00:02:58,360 --> 00:03:03,400 Speaker 1: Zelden is current in a Trafalgar poll, most recent one 49 00:03:03,840 --> 00:03:06,400 Speaker 1: just a little bit forty eight percent to forty seven 50 00:03:06,440 --> 00:03:10,480 Speaker 1: percent with four percent undecided. Lizeldd is actually showing up 51 00:03:10,520 --> 00:03:15,240 Speaker 1: now ahead impose statistically tied, but ahead if you had 52 00:03:15,280 --> 00:03:18,040 Speaker 1: to put your finger on it. No one saying DeSantis 53 00:03:18,040 --> 00:03:20,480 Speaker 1: has made some big error by going up to New 54 00:03:20,560 --> 00:03:23,839 Speaker 1: York because he's gonna win by double digits. What the 55 00:03:23,880 --> 00:03:28,760 Speaker 1: heck is Joe Biden doing going to Florida to show 56 00:03:28,760 --> 00:03:31,240 Speaker 1: what I mean? This is what his little advisors are 57 00:03:31,280 --> 00:03:36,960 Speaker 1: apparently saying, Maga, dystopia looks like no taxes and sunshine. 58 00:03:36,960 --> 00:03:40,320 Speaker 1: What is he talking about? Well, it just continues the 59 00:03:40,320 --> 00:03:44,320 Speaker 1: theme of how tone deaf the Biden White House is 60 00:03:45,040 --> 00:03:48,720 Speaker 1: on this closing sprint and Buck, we know they don't 61 00:03:48,760 --> 00:03:52,680 Speaker 1: have good arguments to make because they failed on inflation 62 00:03:52,720 --> 00:03:56,320 Speaker 1: in the economy, they failed on the border, they failed 63 00:03:56,440 --> 00:04:01,080 Speaker 1: on crime, they failed on COVID, they failed on keeping 64 00:04:01,160 --> 00:04:04,200 Speaker 1: us out of a near world war in Europe. But 65 00:04:04,320 --> 00:04:08,480 Speaker 1: of all the places you could travel to to argue 66 00:04:08,560 --> 00:04:12,360 Speaker 1: in favor of any of your policies, the state of Florida, 67 00:04:12,440 --> 00:04:15,920 Speaker 1: where Rhonda Santis is going to win by ten and Buck, 68 00:04:16,440 --> 00:04:19,520 Speaker 1: he might win by fifteen points, which would be the 69 00:04:19,600 --> 00:04:22,880 Speaker 1: largest win that any Republican has had statewide in a 70 00:04:22,960 --> 00:04:27,320 Speaker 1: modern era. And all Biden is doing is setting himself 71 00:04:27,400 --> 00:04:31,600 Speaker 1: up for embarrassment. He's going to Miami, and the expectation 72 00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:36,200 Speaker 1: is that Rhonda Santis may win Miami Dade County, which 73 00:04:36,240 --> 00:04:40,320 Speaker 1: is an incredible sea change, fueled to a large extent 74 00:04:40,480 --> 00:04:45,640 Speaker 1: by Hispanic voters who are overwhelmingly rejecting Democrats. So the 75 00:04:45,839 --> 00:04:49,599 Speaker 1: narrative here is pretty simple. Biden goes to a state 76 00:04:50,000 --> 00:04:52,599 Speaker 1: that then is going to go read by one of 77 00:04:52,600 --> 00:04:55,880 Speaker 1: the largest margins in any of our lives, and into 78 00:04:55,960 --> 00:04:58,839 Speaker 1: a county that may flip read for the first time. 79 00:04:59,200 --> 00:05:03,320 Speaker 1: They are setting him up for an incredible failure. Here. 80 00:05:03,640 --> 00:05:06,600 Speaker 1: There are places he could go. I would argue, maybe 81 00:05:06,640 --> 00:05:09,080 Speaker 1: he needs to be in New York where Leeze Eldon 82 00:05:09,200 --> 00:05:12,640 Speaker 1: is surging, and maybe there's enough traditional Democrat support that 83 00:05:12,760 --> 00:05:15,320 Speaker 1: Joe Biden there could help. Maybe he needs to go 84 00:05:15,320 --> 00:05:18,960 Speaker 1: out to California or Oregon or Washington where all sorts 85 00:05:18,960 --> 00:05:22,159 Speaker 1: of candidates are surging. As we were speaking, the Cook 86 00:05:22,240 --> 00:05:26,960 Speaker 1: Political Report Buck just flipped ten more districts in blue 87 00:05:27,080 --> 00:05:30,919 Speaker 1: states in the direction of Republicans. So we're talking about 88 00:05:31,800 --> 00:05:36,359 Speaker 1: not only a potential red wave, but a red wave 89 00:05:36,400 --> 00:05:40,279 Speaker 1: that is sweeping through many states that are overwhelmingly blue, 90 00:05:40,640 --> 00:05:42,479 Speaker 1: and in particular and we'll talk about this a little 91 00:05:42,480 --> 00:05:44,320 Speaker 1: bit later. The Wall Street Journal has a great piece 92 00:05:44,400 --> 00:05:49,960 Speaker 1: up today, Buck where they're discussing suburban women are overwhelmingly 93 00:05:50,080 --> 00:05:54,080 Speaker 1: rejecting now the Democrat Party. They are moving into the 94 00:05:54,120 --> 00:05:57,320 Speaker 1: Republican camp. We saw that beginnings of this last year, 95 00:05:57,400 --> 00:06:02,240 Speaker 1: with the big win that we had in Virginia. But 96 00:06:02,600 --> 00:06:06,000 Speaker 1: when you actually break down this continuing bucket minds me 97 00:06:06,040 --> 00:06:07,680 Speaker 1: of what I called you in August. I see this 98 00:06:07,760 --> 00:06:11,719 Speaker 1: every day where I live. There are so many mad moms. 99 00:06:11,800 --> 00:06:15,320 Speaker 1: Heidi Ganaal came on with us in Colorado and the 100 00:06:15,360 --> 00:06:18,720 Speaker 1: mad mom thing is trended for several days since she said, Yeah, 101 00:06:18,760 --> 00:06:21,280 Speaker 1: you're right, I'm a mad mom over COVID, over crime, 102 00:06:21,640 --> 00:06:24,320 Speaker 1: over what kids are being taught in schools. There's a 103 00:06:24,320 --> 00:06:25,880 Speaker 1: lot of moms who are fed up and they're not 104 00:06:25,920 --> 00:06:27,880 Speaker 1: gonna take it anymore. And I think they're going to 105 00:06:27,920 --> 00:06:30,120 Speaker 1: take it out on Democrats in a way that Democrats 106 00:06:30,160 --> 00:06:34,920 Speaker 1: still don't even recognize. Suburban women and Hispanic voters do 107 00:06:35,080 --> 00:06:39,839 Speaker 1: seem to be the X factor here, the difference maker 108 00:06:40,080 --> 00:06:43,280 Speaker 1: in a lot of these states that are now in play, 109 00:06:43,360 --> 00:06:47,159 Speaker 1: or races that are now in play, depending that have 110 00:06:47,279 --> 00:06:49,600 Speaker 1: Democrats really shook. I mean the fact that you have 111 00:06:50,680 --> 00:06:53,400 Speaker 1: we have a Tiffany, We've had Tiffany Smiley on, We've 112 00:06:53,400 --> 00:06:57,400 Speaker 1: got Zelden on tomorrow, Tiffany Smiley on tomorrow as well. 113 00:06:57,720 --> 00:07:00,599 Speaker 1: So Zeldon running for governor of New York. I'm I've 114 00:07:00,600 --> 00:07:02,720 Speaker 1: said it before. I just keep saying it. I'm trying 115 00:07:02,720 --> 00:07:04,760 Speaker 1: to manifest it at some level. But I do believe it. 116 00:07:04,800 --> 00:07:08,320 Speaker 1: I believe Lee's ability. I believe Leezelvin is going to win, 117 00:07:08,440 --> 00:07:10,720 Speaker 1: and it will be among the biggest, if not the 118 00:07:10,720 --> 00:07:16,080 Speaker 1: biggest upsets of a massive red tsunami year. But the 119 00:07:16,080 --> 00:07:18,920 Speaker 1: fact that Tiffany Smiley, who's run a very effective campaign 120 00:07:19,280 --> 00:07:23,440 Speaker 1: as the concerned mom. Right, Tiffany Smiley's doing this, Christine 121 00:07:23,520 --> 00:07:26,200 Speaker 1: Dreysen is doing this. I think the media, you know 122 00:07:26,200 --> 00:07:29,640 Speaker 1: they're talking about by Ganal. There are lots that are 123 00:07:29,680 --> 00:07:32,600 Speaker 1: just fed up and I think are resonating nationwide. And 124 00:07:32,720 --> 00:07:36,880 Speaker 1: you see a I think thirty year incumbent in the 125 00:07:36,960 --> 00:07:41,360 Speaker 1: Senate in Washington State that shouldn't even be a discussion. 126 00:07:41,640 --> 00:07:45,360 Speaker 1: I mean, Tiffany Smiley's race there in a normal political 127 00:07:45,480 --> 00:07:48,680 Speaker 1: year and absence. She's run a very she's very likable, 128 00:07:48,800 --> 00:07:51,000 Speaker 1: She's got a lot going for her as a candidate 129 00:07:51,040 --> 00:07:53,600 Speaker 1: and the candidates. So this is where we start. You 130 00:07:53,640 --> 00:07:55,520 Speaker 1: go back to the basics, Right, It's all gonna come 131 00:07:55,560 --> 00:07:58,520 Speaker 1: down to turn out and the candidates matter. And you know, 132 00:07:58,560 --> 00:08:02,200 Speaker 1: you hear these cliches, but they're true. That's why they're cliches. 133 00:08:02,360 --> 00:08:05,280 Speaker 1: She's won a good campaign. But this shouldn't even be 134 00:08:05,840 --> 00:08:09,480 Speaker 1: a question. Right with Washington State, that's a blue place. 135 00:08:09,520 --> 00:08:11,640 Speaker 1: Look at Seattle and what's going on there in recent years. 136 00:08:12,000 --> 00:08:15,760 Speaker 1: But Clay, I think for a lot of people, there's 137 00:08:15,880 --> 00:08:18,640 Speaker 1: there's a combination of two things that are coming together 138 00:08:18,840 --> 00:08:23,320 Speaker 1: right now. This election is a referendum on whether results matter, 139 00:08:24,040 --> 00:08:27,560 Speaker 1: right the policy, cause and effect? Do you care? Some 140 00:08:27,600 --> 00:08:31,000 Speaker 1: people don't care. Some people it's if it's about you know, 141 00:08:31,080 --> 00:08:34,720 Speaker 1: abortion and you know women's reproductive health and the insurrection, 142 00:08:34,800 --> 00:08:37,200 Speaker 1: and it doesn't matter. I mean, the inflation could be 143 00:08:37,200 --> 00:08:40,560 Speaker 1: fifty percent. They just don't care. Right For people who 144 00:08:40,679 --> 00:08:44,719 Speaker 1: care though about results, what did you promise? What did 145 00:08:44,760 --> 00:08:48,520 Speaker 1: you give us? They're all dropping for Republicans right now 146 00:08:48,559 --> 00:08:51,320 Speaker 1: and leaving a Democrat party. And that also ties into 147 00:08:51,360 --> 00:08:53,560 Speaker 1: the other part of this that I think comes with 148 00:08:53,840 --> 00:08:58,920 Speaker 1: the whole conversation, which is the Baden switch here, right, Biden, 149 00:08:58,960 --> 00:09:00,839 Speaker 1: You and I remember this didn't came in. It was 150 00:09:00,880 --> 00:09:03,800 Speaker 1: all it's gonna be normal. I'm good old Joe. We're 151 00:09:03,800 --> 00:09:06,319 Speaker 1: gonna have a booming economy, grow from the middle out. 152 00:09:06,360 --> 00:09:10,640 Speaker 1: It's gonna be awesome. Anybody who went along with that, 153 00:09:11,200 --> 00:09:14,600 Speaker 1: who has looked at that objectively, has to say, we 154 00:09:14,679 --> 00:09:18,280 Speaker 1: are basically swindled, and they're pissed off, and they should be. 155 00:09:19,080 --> 00:09:22,440 Speaker 1: And I don't think you can overlook Buck that COVID 156 00:09:22,600 --> 00:09:26,839 Speaker 1: has its tendrils in each of these major issues too. Right, 157 00:09:27,040 --> 00:09:31,360 Speaker 1: If you look at inflation and the economy. The result 158 00:09:31,440 --> 00:09:35,280 Speaker 1: of this inflation was the COVID spending. If you look 159 00:09:35,320 --> 00:09:38,240 Speaker 1: at the crime certainly, I think you can make a 160 00:09:38,240 --> 00:09:41,960 Speaker 1: connection between George Floyd and BLM and the protests that 161 00:09:42,120 --> 00:09:45,400 Speaker 1: ensued during COVID and the way that they were handled. 162 00:09:45,480 --> 00:09:48,640 Speaker 1: I think that's connected. We know the border because they've 163 00:09:48,640 --> 00:09:51,600 Speaker 1: had all these different policies in place that have allowed 164 00:09:51,640 --> 00:09:54,559 Speaker 1: the border to be wide open. I think that COVID 165 00:09:54,679 --> 00:09:58,040 Speaker 1: sort of undergirds all of these because we talk about inflation, 166 00:09:58,080 --> 00:10:01,080 Speaker 1: the economy, buck we talk about crime, We talked certainly 167 00:10:01,200 --> 00:10:04,840 Speaker 1: about what's going on at the border, but looming sort 168 00:10:04,840 --> 00:10:07,959 Speaker 1: of underneath as a foundational element of all of those 169 00:10:07,960 --> 00:10:12,319 Speaker 1: things going wrong is COVID and the lockdowns and school shutdowns. 170 00:10:12,640 --> 00:10:16,280 Speaker 1: And I think it just motivates an angry base of 171 00:10:16,320 --> 00:10:19,079 Speaker 1: many people out there that are asking themselves the question, 172 00:10:19,760 --> 00:10:22,720 Speaker 1: is your life better now than it was when Joe 173 00:10:22,720 --> 00:10:26,160 Speaker 1: Biden took over in January of twenty twenty from a 174 00:10:26,240 --> 00:10:29,920 Speaker 1: financial perspective and everything else for virtually everyone in the country. 175 00:10:29,920 --> 00:10:32,719 Speaker 1: The answers no, Almost everyone in the country is in 176 00:10:32,800 --> 00:10:35,040 Speaker 1: a worst spot than they were two years ago when 177 00:10:35,120 --> 00:10:38,000 Speaker 1: Joe Biden came in and that's why this election. Ultimately, 178 00:10:38,040 --> 00:10:40,400 Speaker 1: I'm still surprised they got Biden out not only going 179 00:10:40,400 --> 00:10:43,160 Speaker 1: to Florida, Buck, but even making the arguments that he is, 180 00:10:44,080 --> 00:10:47,560 Speaker 1: because ultimately this election is a referendum on Biden, and 181 00:10:47,640 --> 00:10:49,600 Speaker 1: Democrats have done everything to try to make it a 182 00:10:49,640 --> 00:10:56,840 Speaker 1: referendum on something else. On MAGA on January sixth, on democracy. Yeah, 183 00:10:56,880 --> 00:10:59,600 Speaker 1: they failed in a major way to shift that story. 184 00:10:59,600 --> 00:11:03,480 Speaker 1: It's just we're abortion just not working. And that they 185 00:11:03,520 --> 00:11:06,840 Speaker 1: are now going into going to Florida, I think shows 186 00:11:07,559 --> 00:11:11,440 Speaker 1: a tone deafness. I think that Biden making this I 187 00:11:11,520 --> 00:11:14,880 Speaker 1: believe his last or certainly close to his last. He's 188 00:11:14,880 --> 00:11:16,400 Speaker 1: looking on a few days. It may in fact his 189 00:11:16,480 --> 00:11:19,199 Speaker 1: last official campaign stop, it's one of the last if 190 00:11:19,200 --> 00:11:22,640 Speaker 1: it's not the final one, and he'd go into Florida, 191 00:11:22,679 --> 00:11:26,560 Speaker 1: which for so many Republicans and for independence and just 192 00:11:26,600 --> 00:11:29,400 Speaker 1: based on the numbers of people moving here, has become 193 00:11:29,400 --> 00:11:32,520 Speaker 1: this beacon of better governance than what you have in 194 00:11:32,559 --> 00:11:35,440 Speaker 1: blue states. I mean, that's that's effectively I'm hoping Zelden 195 00:11:35,480 --> 00:11:37,360 Speaker 1: wins so he can turn New York around because I 196 00:11:37,440 --> 00:11:39,280 Speaker 1: love New York, you know the same way you love 197 00:11:39,360 --> 00:11:42,400 Speaker 1: sports and don't want to just see the sports narrative 198 00:11:42,679 --> 00:11:45,760 Speaker 1: to the lunatic left sports media. I love New York. 199 00:11:45,800 --> 00:11:48,360 Speaker 1: I don't want it to just turn into some you know, 200 00:11:48,480 --> 00:11:52,319 Speaker 1: third world hellhole because the Democrats have destroyed it. So 201 00:11:52,360 --> 00:11:53,840 Speaker 1: I want to see it turn around. I want to 202 00:11:53,840 --> 00:11:57,280 Speaker 1: see that happen. Florida for people is a success narrative, 203 00:11:57,360 --> 00:12:00,000 Speaker 1: though certainly over the last couple of years, there's no question. 204 00:12:00,000 --> 00:12:02,280 Speaker 1: And when you look at the numbers and that Biden 205 00:12:02,360 --> 00:12:05,000 Speaker 1: comes here, it just reminds me that Clay. They've the 206 00:12:05,080 --> 00:12:09,560 Speaker 1: Democrats have just been running god awful campaigns. It really 207 00:12:09,720 --> 00:12:12,040 Speaker 1: is like they don't even talk to the people they 208 00:12:12,040 --> 00:12:13,920 Speaker 1: seek to govern. They just want to tell them what 209 00:12:13,960 --> 00:12:16,160 Speaker 1: to do it. It's like they don't know what's going on. 210 00:12:16,520 --> 00:12:20,440 Speaker 1: The out of touchness with main street something that Joe Biden, 211 00:12:20,480 --> 00:12:22,520 Speaker 1: you're the folks in main Street and you know, not 212 00:12:22,600 --> 00:12:25,520 Speaker 1: a joke. He has no idea what is going on 213 00:12:25,840 --> 00:12:27,800 Speaker 1: if he thinks that Florida's where he should be going 214 00:12:27,880 --> 00:12:30,760 Speaker 1: right now. And it's certainly not Biden because he's clueless, 215 00:12:30,840 --> 00:12:34,320 Speaker 1: but his advisors are failing him in a major way, 216 00:12:34,320 --> 00:12:37,640 Speaker 1: and they're setting him up for embarrassment and frankly ridicule 217 00:12:38,160 --> 00:12:41,120 Speaker 1: because I think there would be more people apt to 218 00:12:41,280 --> 00:12:45,040 Speaker 1: show up in Florida to rally against Biden by far 219 00:12:45,160 --> 00:12:47,040 Speaker 1: and all of his policies then would want to show 220 00:12:47,120 --> 00:12:49,680 Speaker 1: up to support anything that he says, and none of 221 00:12:49,679 --> 00:12:53,160 Speaker 1: these things are by accident. When Biden did his interview 222 00:12:53,600 --> 00:12:59,119 Speaker 1: just a few days ago with transgender activist or Dylan mulvaney, 223 00:12:59,200 --> 00:13:03,280 Speaker 1: is that right? I think that's that's right, right, Yeah, 224 00:13:03,280 --> 00:13:06,240 Speaker 1: that's that. In the final days for the midterm election, 225 00:13:06,360 --> 00:13:08,680 Speaker 1: Joe Biden's going to be saying, you know, it's awesome 226 00:13:08,720 --> 00:13:10,720 Speaker 1: that you've just transitioned and are now saying you're a 227 00:13:10,760 --> 00:13:16,000 Speaker 1: girl and you're explaining womanhood. Think about this, that individual 228 00:13:16,520 --> 00:13:19,360 Speaker 1: Milvaney is explaining what it is to be a woman 229 00:13:19,880 --> 00:13:24,400 Speaker 1: to women who have a little more experience. Didn't just 230 00:13:24,480 --> 00:13:26,640 Speaker 1: happen for a few months or a few months ago, 231 00:13:27,280 --> 00:13:30,760 Speaker 1: and Biden is blessing this interviewing this person at the 232 00:13:30,760 --> 00:13:33,559 Speaker 1: White House. Is that what people is that what steel 233 00:13:33,600 --> 00:13:36,800 Speaker 1: workers in Pittsburgh thought they were signing on for clay, 234 00:13:37,320 --> 00:13:39,920 Speaker 1: is that what the union guys in Michigan and the 235 00:13:40,000 --> 00:13:43,600 Speaker 1: and the suburban soccer moms in Georgia, is that what 236 00:13:43,760 --> 00:13:45,880 Speaker 1: they thought they were getting with this White House. I 237 00:13:45,880 --> 00:13:48,720 Speaker 1: don't think so. No, and we've just coming out of Halloween. 238 00:13:48,760 --> 00:13:50,720 Speaker 1: I hope everybody doesn't have too bad of a hangover. 239 00:13:51,600 --> 00:13:55,239 Speaker 1: But you dress up as something you aren't for Halloween 240 00:13:55,520 --> 00:13:59,440 Speaker 1: for comedic purposes. Effectively, what the Biden administration is doing 241 00:13:59,440 --> 00:14:01,920 Speaker 1: with this per in the White House is allowing them 242 00:14:01,920 --> 00:14:04,840 Speaker 1: to wear a costume and pretending it's real, which sometimes 243 00:14:04,840 --> 00:14:06,760 Speaker 1: you do with like four and five year olds. Right 244 00:14:06,800 --> 00:14:08,960 Speaker 1: like your kid when they're four or five thinks that 245 00:14:09,000 --> 00:14:13,000 Speaker 1: they're Batman. Spoiler alert, they're not really Batman. But that's 246 00:14:13,040 --> 00:14:15,600 Speaker 1: the purpose of Halloween. And yet we got all these 247 00:14:15,679 --> 00:14:18,640 Speaker 1: ridiculous costumes. I saw a great meme. Your kid can't 248 00:14:18,720 --> 00:14:21,320 Speaker 1: dress up as an Indian, but a man can dress 249 00:14:21,360 --> 00:14:24,720 Speaker 1: up as a woman. That's considered acceptable by Democrats. Your 250 00:14:24,800 --> 00:14:27,760 Speaker 1: kid wearing dressing up as an Indian is awful. We 251 00:14:27,840 --> 00:14:30,400 Speaker 1: had friends, by the way, at our Halloween party dressed 252 00:14:30,480 --> 00:14:32,840 Speaker 1: up as a cowboy in an Indian and I actually 253 00:14:32,840 --> 00:14:35,760 Speaker 1: thought that's really pretty fantastic for a costume for a 254 00:14:35,760 --> 00:14:38,000 Speaker 1: guy and a girl out there, because it just kind 255 00:14:38,000 --> 00:14:42,000 Speaker 1: of is lampooning the absurdity of the costume police in general. 256 00:14:42,640 --> 00:14:45,400 Speaker 1: My best ever costume Clay back in the day General 257 00:14:45,440 --> 00:14:50,360 Speaker 1: Douglas MacArthur. I went to a theater supply store and 258 00:14:50,400 --> 00:14:53,800 Speaker 1: convinced them to rent me their MacArthur costume. It was, 259 00:14:54,000 --> 00:14:56,440 Speaker 1: oh wow, good times. Yeah, you know, sometimes you gotta 260 00:14:56,440 --> 00:14:57,960 Speaker 1: bring your a game. But yeah, you didn't even do 261 00:14:58,000 --> 00:14:59,960 Speaker 1: anything for Halloween. I was. I got it all over 262 00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:03,120 Speaker 1: of the streets, chasing kids, having a great time. Carrie 263 00:15:03,160 --> 00:15:05,480 Speaker 1: and I ordered in stakes and snuggled. It was fine. 264 00:15:05,520 --> 00:15:07,360 Speaker 1: We had a good holloway. It was good an old 265 00:15:07,400 --> 00:15:09,440 Speaker 1: But here we are the first of November and there's 266 00:15:09,520 --> 00:15:12,800 Speaker 1: zero end in sight for inflation, rising costs. It's a 267 00:15:12,880 --> 00:15:15,440 Speaker 1: rough time in the financial markets. You know, this one 268 00:15:15,480 --> 00:15:17,720 Speaker 1: significant event in the world can cause it to get 269 00:15:17,760 --> 00:15:20,480 Speaker 1: even worse. And for every day people looking to protect 270 00:15:20,520 --> 00:15:22,840 Speaker 1: the value of their savings account, it's hard to figure 271 00:15:22,840 --> 00:15:24,840 Speaker 1: out where to go next. Letting it sit in your 272 00:15:24,880 --> 00:15:27,160 Speaker 1: bank account, your money, it's akin to agreeing to let 273 00:15:27,160 --> 00:15:29,760 Speaker 1: that money diminish by nine or ten percent a year. 274 00:15:30,280 --> 00:15:32,560 Speaker 1: There's an actual plan, though, to protect a portion of 275 00:15:32,600 --> 00:15:34,440 Speaker 1: your savings or your four oh one K plan you 276 00:15:34,440 --> 00:15:37,760 Speaker 1: should really consider right now, and that's to invest in gold. 277 00:15:37,800 --> 00:15:40,640 Speaker 1: I'm talking about real gold.

I 306 00:17:15,760 --> 00:17:18,480 Speaker 1: was supposed to do an event for Jack Daniels, and 307 00:17:18,760 --> 00:17:23,560 Speaker 1: I criticized Vanderbilt University sand blasting the word Confederate off 308 00:17:23,600 --> 00:17:27,240 Speaker 1: of a building, and they canceled my endorsement appearance because 309 00:17:27,280 --> 00:17:30,320 Speaker 1: they said that my opinion that sand blasting one hundred 310 00:17:30,359 --> 00:17:33,199 Speaker 1: year old building a word off of it was was 311 00:17:33,240 --> 00:17:36,119 Speaker 1: too offensive to be affiliated with Jack Daniels, who, by 312 00:17:36,160 --> 00:17:39,000 Speaker 1: the way, was the brother of a ton of Confederate soldiers. 313 00:17:39,000 --> 00:17:42,080 Speaker 1: So the irony there is crazy.

And you can 329 00:18:24,760 --> 00:18:27,399 Speaker 1: join them and have a lower bill, potentially save a 330 00:18:27,480 --> 00:18:31,480 Speaker 1: thousand dollars over the course of your cell phone bill 331 00:18:31,520 --> 00:18:34,520 Speaker 1: for the year. And it's a US veteran employing a 332 00:18:34,640 --> 00:18:38,280 Speaker 1: vast customer service team, all based here in the US. 333 00:18:38,640 --> 00:18:40,880 Speaker 1: It's simple to switch today. You can keep your same 334 00:18:40,960 --> 00:18:43,760 Speaker 1: phone and your same phone number, save up two a 335 00:18:43,840 --> 00:18:46,360 Speaker 1: thousand dollars. All you have to do is dial pound 336 00:18:46,359 --> 00:18:49,680 Speaker 1: two fifty say Clay and Buck fifty percent off your 337 00:18:49,680 --> 00:18:54,240 Speaker 1: first month. Again, dial pound two five zero say Clay 338 00:18:54,280 --> 00:18:59,160 Speaker 1: and Buck. Make the switch. Support is coming in from 339 00:18:59,200 --> 00:19:02,440 Speaker 1: all across all walks of life. This is about Democrats, 340 00:19:02,480 --> 00:19:05,280 Speaker 1: Republicans and independs uniting as New Yorkers to be able 341 00:19:05,280 --> 00:19:08,679 Speaker 1: to save our state. People truly believe, they understand, they 342 00:19:08,760 --> 00:19:11,800 Speaker 1: know that this is a campaign to save New York City, 343 00:19:11,840 --> 00:19:14,920 Speaker 1: a campaign to save New York State, to restore balance 344 00:19:15,080 --> 00:19:17,760 Speaker 1: up to Albany. And that's why we're getting support from 345 00:19:17,840 --> 00:19:20,600 Speaker 1: people who maybe have been a lifelong Democrat, They've always 346 00:19:20,640 --> 00:19:22,800 Speaker 1: voted Democrat, but they're saying Lee, this year, I'm voting 347 00:19:22,800 --> 00:19:27,399 Speaker 1: for you. That is Leezeldn talking about what could be 348 00:19:27,440 --> 00:19:31,720 Speaker 1: the biggest upset in the political universe. But I would 349 00:19:31,720 --> 00:19:36,320 Speaker 1: just say the biggest win for sanity, right, Clay, We 350 00:19:36,359 --> 00:19:40,800 Speaker 1: are sanity in an insane world and New York in particular. 351 00:19:41,200 --> 00:19:44,680 Speaker 1: And for my wr fam who live in the Greater 352 00:19:44,880 --> 00:19:48,800 Speaker 1: New York area, in the city it's environs, they know 353 00:19:48,880 --> 00:19:51,199 Speaker 1: exactly what I'm talking about. We were really hit with 354 00:19:51,359 --> 00:19:55,919 Speaker 1: a triple whammy, if you will, of COVID crime and disorder, 355 00:19:56,200 --> 00:19:59,760 Speaker 1: and then the economic ramifications of all this, the shutting 356 00:19:59,760 --> 00:20:03,360 Speaker 1: down of businesses, businesses that no longer want to operate 357 00:20:03,400 --> 00:20:08,080 Speaker 1: in certain ways or in certain places because of these things, 358 00:20:08,640 --> 00:20:13,439 Speaker 1: and It's fascinating to watch Clay as the narrative plays 359 00:20:13,480 --> 00:20:16,800 Speaker 1: out here among Democrats, they realize this is a potent issue. 360 00:20:17,320 --> 00:20:21,280 Speaker 1: They were not prepared for this issue, and so what 361 00:20:21,320 --> 00:20:25,639 Speaker 1: are they doing? A combination of there is no crime wave. 362 00:20:26,320 --> 00:20:30,520 Speaker 1: Talking about the crime wave is racist. Of course. Here 363 00:20:30,720 --> 00:20:36,200 Speaker 1: is New Jersey Governor Murphy. Now, he was lucky during 364 00:20:36,240 --> 00:20:39,720 Speaker 1: the pandemic insofar as he was next door to Cuomo's 365 00:20:39,800 --> 00:20:43,560 Speaker 1: New York when Cuomo had his Cuomo chips, and he 366 00:20:43,640 --> 00:20:47,680 Speaker 1: was doing those press conferences every day. All right, next slide, basically, 367 00:20:48,119 --> 00:20:52,000 Speaker 1: I am Julius Caesar, but in the twenty first century. 368 00:20:52,359 --> 00:20:55,280 Speaker 1: And if you disobey me, I will throw you in 369 00:20:55,320 --> 00:20:59,000 Speaker 1: a deep dungeon. Slide number two. If you do not listen, 370 00:20:59,119 --> 00:21:03,320 Speaker 1: you a murder your own grandparents with a virus that 371 00:21:03,440 --> 00:21:06,960 Speaker 1: you know. We all remember this, right. Governor Murphy was 372 00:21:07,080 --> 00:21:11,840 Speaker 1: next door Clay and presided over at one point. I 373 00:21:11,840 --> 00:21:13,480 Speaker 1: think it is even out now. But for the first 374 00:21:13,560 --> 00:21:17,080 Speaker 1: year of the pandemic, the highest per capita fatality rate 375 00:21:17,480 --> 00:21:21,000 Speaker 1: in the country, it was actually New Jersey. It wasn't 376 00:21:21,080 --> 00:21:25,080 Speaker 1: New York. Here is Murphy now, after the disastrous COVID 377 00:21:25,119 --> 00:21:27,679 Speaker 1: response and everything else, going on in state saying the 378 00:21:27,800 --> 00:21:31,280 Speaker 1: GOP is playing the crime card, which is really just 379 00:21:31,760 --> 00:21:34,760 Speaker 1: a dog whistle for racism. Play seven. The other guys 380 00:21:34,800 --> 00:21:39,000 Speaker 1: play the crime card relentlessly and shamelessly, it seems every election, 381 00:21:39,200 --> 00:21:42,160 Speaker 1: and the facts and their portrayal of the facts are 382 00:21:42,440 --> 00:21:44,879 Speaker 1: entirely different places. That doesn't mean that crime is not 383 00:21:44,920 --> 00:21:47,080 Speaker 1: an issue. It doesn't mean that we're not focused on it. 384 00:21:47,200 --> 00:21:49,160 Speaker 1: But I will just say in New Jersey this year, 385 00:21:49,520 --> 00:21:54,520 Speaker 1: violent crimes, shooting, homicides are all down meaningfully, between something 386 00:21:54,560 --> 00:21:58,360 Speaker 1: like fifteen and thirty percent. We invest deeply, not just here, 387 00:21:58,359 --> 00:22:01,320 Speaker 1: but as a party in the relationship between law enforcement 388 00:22:01,400 --> 00:22:05,560 Speaker 1: and the communities they serve. We invest in law enforcement selves. 389 00:22:05,680 --> 00:22:08,280 Speaker 1: They're really good at playing the card. Frankly, it goes 390 00:22:08,320 --> 00:22:11,720 Speaker 1: back to Nixon's Southern strategy. It's got racial elements to it. 391 00:22:11,840 --> 00:22:14,800 Speaker 1: Let's just call that for what it is. Oh, it's 392 00:22:17,080 --> 00:22:21,080 Speaker 1: it's racist to hate crime. Totally unacceptable out there to 393 00:22:21,480 --> 00:22:23,960 Speaker 1: want crime and go down. Look, pay attention to what 394 00:22:24,000 --> 00:22:28,880 Speaker 1: they're trying to argue. Crime skyrocketed from two thousand nineteen 395 00:22:29,000 --> 00:22:33,320 Speaker 1: to twenty twenty. It then went up again substantially in 396 00:22:33,400 --> 00:22:36,800 Speaker 1: twenty twenty one. Many places are going to be up 397 00:22:36,800 --> 00:22:40,520 Speaker 1: again in twenty twenty two. Some are not right, some 398 00:22:40,680 --> 00:22:43,520 Speaker 1: skyrocketed so much. But what you need to look at 399 00:22:44,200 --> 00:22:47,720 Speaker 1: is look at what the rates are compared to twenty nineteen. Yea, 400 00:22:47,800 --> 00:22:51,159 Speaker 1: and they are up massively since then. If you a 401 00:22:51,240 --> 00:22:55,400 Speaker 1: good example, if you put on one hundred pounds of weight, 402 00:22:55,760 --> 00:22:57,879 Speaker 1: I hope you haven't done it during COVID. That's what 403 00:22:57,920 --> 00:23:00,520 Speaker 1: democrats wanted you to do. By the way, stay home cheetos, 404 00:23:00,560 --> 00:23:05,080 Speaker 1: don't do anything, just like avoid all social interaction. If 405 00:23:05,119 --> 00:23:08,200 Speaker 1: you put on a hundred pounds and then you said, oh, 406 00:23:08,240 --> 00:23:11,960 Speaker 1: I'm not overweight. I lost twenty five pounds this year, 407 00:23:12,480 --> 00:23:15,639 Speaker 1: you're still up seventy five pounds. Probably still need to 408 00:23:15,680 --> 00:23:18,200 Speaker 1: lose the other seventy five. So and that's not even 409 00:23:18,200 --> 00:23:22,159 Speaker 1: true everywhere. Many places are up in twenty twenty one 410 00:23:22,200 --> 00:23:25,640 Speaker 1: and twenty two buck But that's the sort of narrative 411 00:23:25,720 --> 00:23:28,000 Speaker 1: shift they're trying to make, Oh, crimes down now, it's 412 00:23:28,000 --> 00:23:30,200 Speaker 1: not even true that crimes up. No, it's up massively 413 00:23:30,240 --> 00:23:34,119 Speaker 1: since twenty nineteen everywhere. And we look at the specifics, 414 00:23:34,119 --> 00:23:40,080 Speaker 1: I mean take places as individual, individual microcosms of the 415 00:23:40,640 --> 00:23:44,000 Speaker 1: larger issue of how democrats approach crime. Look at what 416 00:23:44,160 --> 00:23:46,880 Speaker 1: has gone on. If you look on a graph from 417 00:23:46,880 --> 00:23:52,560 Speaker 1: the Institution of Democrat pushed highly partisan policies in New 418 00:23:52,640 --> 00:23:56,760 Speaker 1: York State. It's bail reform, for example, but also changes 419 00:23:56,800 --> 00:23:59,200 Speaker 1: in sentencing. I had a friend of the District Attorney's 420 00:23:59,240 --> 00:24:01,639 Speaker 1: office in New York. He has actually left, but he 421 00:24:01,680 --> 00:24:05,399 Speaker 1: was there for gosh to twelve years, fourteen years, something 422 00:24:05,400 --> 00:24:07,440 Speaker 1: like that, and he was telling me about how one 423 00:24:07,480 --> 00:24:10,800 Speaker 1: of the things that they did in New York, in 424 00:24:10,960 --> 00:24:14,240 Speaker 1: response to all these groups that are basically threatening to 425 00:24:14,440 --> 00:24:16,960 Speaker 1: sue for racism all the time, and the justice in 426 00:24:17,040 --> 00:24:19,200 Speaker 1: all this is a civil rights violation or whatever, one 427 00:24:19,200 --> 00:24:23,040 Speaker 1: of the things they did was increase the paperwork an 428 00:24:23,080 --> 00:24:27,560 Speaker 1: evidentiary birden involving paperwork so much that they just had 429 00:24:27,560 --> 00:24:30,960 Speaker 1: to drop cases. They literally did not have the man 430 00:24:30,960 --> 00:24:35,280 Speaker 1: hours available to prosecute based on a bureaucratic change in 431 00:24:35,320 --> 00:24:40,080 Speaker 1: the District Attorney's office. These things were done after BLM 432 00:24:40,119 --> 00:24:44,840 Speaker 1: two point zero, after George Floyd's death and the riots 433 00:24:44,880 --> 00:24:48,240 Speaker 1: that happened. These policies were implemented. And you look on 434 00:24:48,280 --> 00:24:52,360 Speaker 1: a graph in New York, in Philadelphia, in Seattle, in Chicago, 435 00:24:52,480 --> 00:24:56,119 Speaker 1: go down the list in Portland, right in Phoenix. You 436 00:24:56,160 --> 00:24:58,840 Speaker 1: look at what happened when these progressive prosecutors got their way. 437 00:24:58,880 --> 00:25:01,920 Speaker 1: You look at what happened when these left wing legislatures 438 00:25:01,960 --> 00:25:06,440 Speaker 1: passed these laws and crime skyrocketed. And it's just it's 439 00:25:06,480 --> 00:25:08,720 Speaker 1: as obvious as you spend too much money and you 440 00:25:08,760 --> 00:25:12,520 Speaker 1: get inflation, Clay, So what are they saying now, it's racist, Oh, 441 00:25:12,560 --> 00:25:15,919 Speaker 1: it's not happening, Or my favorite is Democrats are actually 442 00:25:15,920 --> 00:25:20,359 Speaker 1: really good on crime. Not even Democrats believe that. Well, 443 00:25:20,560 --> 00:25:25,920 Speaker 1: the wise are a function of the desperation because we're 444 00:25:26,000 --> 00:25:29,960 Speaker 1: seven days out and they've tried to throw everything they 445 00:25:30,000 --> 00:25:34,159 Speaker 1: can out there. Oh, Republicans are gonna make inflation worse. Really, 446 00:25:34,480 --> 00:25:38,520 Speaker 1: I haven't even heard a reasonable argument for how Republicans 447 00:25:38,520 --> 00:25:41,960 Speaker 1: could possibly make inflation worse if they take the House 448 00:25:41,960 --> 00:25:44,399 Speaker 1: in the Senate, because nobody's saying, oh, they're gonna have 449 00:25:44,440 --> 00:25:49,119 Speaker 1: a filibuster proof or veto proof majority. So even if 450 00:25:49,160 --> 00:25:52,840 Speaker 1: Republicans we're trying to make inflation worse, they can't because 451 00:25:52,920 --> 00:25:55,080 Speaker 1: Joe Biden still has the power of the pen as 452 00:25:55,160 --> 00:25:58,960 Speaker 1: president to sign or not sign bills. All Republicans can 453 00:25:59,000 --> 00:26:01,920 Speaker 1: do is key Biden from making it worse and That's 454 00:26:01,960 --> 00:26:06,000 Speaker 1: why this is so key. As awful as things are, 455 00:26:06,040 --> 00:26:09,600 Speaker 1: buck as much of a disaster as everything that Joe 456 00:26:09,600 --> 00:26:14,160 Speaker 1: Biden has done, is if he had gotten his way completely, 457 00:26:15,080 --> 00:26:18,359 Speaker 1: if Senator Joe Mansion and Senator Kursten Cinema had not 458 00:26:18,520 --> 00:26:22,119 Speaker 1: stood up to him at just a minor degree, he 459 00:26:22,160 --> 00:26:25,680 Speaker 1: would have spent five trillion more dollars. I mean, we'd 460 00:26:25,720 --> 00:26:29,199 Speaker 1: be talking about fifteen or twenty percent inflation if he 461 00:26:29,240 --> 00:26:31,840 Speaker 1: had actually gotten to implement the policies he wanted to. 462 00:26:32,080 --> 00:26:39,480 Speaker 1: This goes to my my theory, Clay, that it's gonna 463 00:26:39,520 --> 00:26:43,680 Speaker 1: be like after Clinton lost control of Congress and Newt 464 00:26:43,720 --> 00:26:47,440 Speaker 1: Gingrich came in and you had the triangulation, and I 465 00:26:47,480 --> 00:26:52,520 Speaker 1: think that Biden switches into a defensive crouch, and because 466 00:26:53,080 --> 00:26:55,200 Speaker 1: because Republicans, if they have the House and the Senate, 467 00:26:55,680 --> 00:26:58,639 Speaker 1: will be able to prevent his most disastrous ideas, the 468 00:26:58,680 --> 00:27:01,800 Speaker 1: economy will start to hear things will be on the upswing. 469 00:27:02,160 --> 00:27:05,080 Speaker 1: And you know what he's gonna say, it's my leadership. 470 00:27:05,600 --> 00:27:08,600 Speaker 1: Stopping him from doing what he wants to do is 471 00:27:08,640 --> 00:27:11,720 Speaker 1: the best thing that could be done for Democrats. But 472 00:27:12,280 --> 00:27:16,159 Speaker 1: I know it's it seems counterintuitive, but I do believe it. 473 00:27:16,280 --> 00:27:18,480 Speaker 1: That is of that is all. But look, let's just 474 00:27:18,520 --> 00:27:20,720 Speaker 1: have the red tsunami and we'll figure out We'll figure 475 00:27:20,720 --> 00:27:23,520 Speaker 1: out the rest afterwards. Yeah. Look, my theory is Biden's 476 00:27:23,520 --> 00:27:26,520 Speaker 1: getting washed out on the red tsunami. You disagree with that, 477 00:27:26,560 --> 00:27:29,000 Speaker 1: We're gonna have a lot of fun discussing that, because 478 00:27:29,520 --> 00:27:33,000 Speaker 1: once Wednesday gets here, next Wednesday, like eight days from now, 479 00:27:33,480 --> 00:27:37,200 Speaker 1: effectively the twenty twenty four presidential campaigns. Really we will 480 00:27:37,240 --> 00:27:40,520 Speaker 1: be talking in earnest about the presidential election of twenty 481 00:27:40,560 --> 00:27:43,160 Speaker 1: twenty four and have a lot to say about it 482 00:27:43,520 --> 00:27:46,080 Speaker 1: by like the ninth of November. You know, by the 483 00:27:47,520 --> 00:27:50,359 Speaker 1: day after the election, it's gonna start being a real conversation. 484 00:27:50,880 --> 00:27:52,880 Speaker 1: By the way, I want to know, too many, too 485 00:27:52,880 --> 00:27:56,359 Speaker 1: many fire you know, like pipes bursting and h and 486 00:27:56,520 --> 00:27:59,439 Speaker 1: late We'll see how many how many late night pipes 487 00:27:59,480 --> 00:28:02,119 Speaker 1: burst in Democrat precincts and something. Don't think we're by 488 00:28:02,160 --> 00:28:05,920 Speaker 1: the way, people keep saying, fuck, Clay, aren't you concerned 489 00:28:05,920 --> 00:28:09,160 Speaker 1: about Yeah, of course we're concerned about. The only way 490 00:28:09,640 --> 00:28:13,440 Speaker 1: I get less concerned about Democrats cheating, just for the record, 491 00:28:13,920 --> 00:28:17,400 Speaker 1: is when we win so big that the cheating becomes 492 00:28:17,440 --> 00:28:19,320 Speaker 1: so much harder. Right. Think about it this way. If 493 00:28:19,320 --> 00:28:21,720 Speaker 1: you've paid off a ref and he only has to 494 00:28:21,760 --> 00:28:24,560 Speaker 1: throw one call because it's a close game, that's real 495 00:28:24,640 --> 00:28:29,080 Speaker 1: tough to find. If every call is going one way, 496 00:28:29,160 --> 00:28:31,600 Speaker 1: If people are throwing elbows, hitting the team home team 497 00:28:31,600 --> 00:28:33,399 Speaker 1: in the face and the ref pretends like he didn't 498 00:28:33,400 --> 00:28:36,480 Speaker 1: see it five times in a row, you can see 499 00:28:36,520 --> 00:28:41,080 Speaker 1: the cheating beat them so bad that the ref doesn't matter. 500 00:28:41,280 --> 00:28:42,880 Speaker 1: So the way I coach right, I mean, I think 501 00:28:42,880 --> 00:28:44,480 Speaker 1: that's the why you have to coach little league and 502 00:28:44,520 --> 00:28:47,880 Speaker 1: everything else. Like, don't get like coaches can be concerned 503 00:28:47,880 --> 00:28:49,840 Speaker 1: about officials, and we will, and I'll say, hey if 504 00:28:49,840 --> 00:28:54,000 Speaker 1: they has Clay ever been concerned about officialserned about officiating? 505 00:28:54,000 --> 00:28:58,640 Speaker 1: Trust me, But if you win so much, you win 506 00:28:58,680 --> 00:29:00,960 Speaker 1: by ten runs, a couple of calls aren't going to 507 00:29:01,000 --> 00:29:03,840 Speaker 1: make a difference. Take it outside the margin of error. 508 00:29:03,880 --> 00:29:05,800 Speaker 1: That's why we keep saying all of you need to 509 00:29:05,840 --> 00:29:08,720 Speaker 1: get out and vote. Don't take it for granted. Get 510 00:29:08,760 --> 00:29:11,320 Speaker 1: out and vote like your lives depend on it, because 511 00:29:11,360 --> 00:29:17,280 Speaker 1: frankly they do. Rights, immigration, foreign policy, marriage, four topics, 512 00:29:17,320 --> 00:29:20,160 Speaker 1: four different subject matters. You wouldn't think our founding fathers 513 00:29:20,160 --> 00:29:23,280 Speaker 1: were contending with in the late seventeen hundreds. But they were, 514 00:29:23,680 --> 00:29:26,520 Speaker 1: and they wrote about them all extensively. You'd be amazed 515 00:29:26,600 --> 00:29:29,840 Speaker 1: how relevant their thoughts are today, even in twenty twenty two. 516 00:29:30,320 --> 00:29:32,880 Speaker 1: Leave it to the professors at Hillsdale College to study 517 00:29:32,880 --> 00:29:36,840 Speaker 1: the comparisons and create a class on those comparisons between 518 00:29:36,840 --> 00:29:40,960 Speaker 1: then and now. Today, you can join Hillsdale professors Thomas 519 00:29:41,000 --> 00:29:44,600 Speaker 1: West and David Azarad as they explore the thoughts and 520 00:29:44,680 --> 00:29:48,760 Speaker 1: ideas of America's founders and Hillsdale's newest free online course, 521 00:29:49,120 --> 00:29:53,000 Speaker 1: The Real American Founding a Conversation.

We're gonna be 537 00:30:46,400 --> 00:30:49,280 Speaker 1: gathered together with just some of our friends from media, 538 00:30:49,400 --> 00:30:53,680 Speaker 1: having a a little gathering of sorts. I'm hoping there 539 00:30:53,720 --> 00:30:57,280 Speaker 1: might be some peg leg porker barbecue involved from my 540 00:30:57,360 --> 00:31:00,600 Speaker 1: favorite Nashville barbecue joint. I'm hoping we're gonna get some 541 00:31:00,880 --> 00:31:03,680 Speaker 1: what is there's a beer? I have a new beer. 542 00:31:04,200 --> 00:31:07,400 Speaker 1: I have a beer. Yeah, Jay Cutler uh and I 543 00:31:07,720 --> 00:31:11,840 Speaker 1: among others have have our own beer. It's called Gratis. 544 00:31:12,120 --> 00:31:15,960 Speaker 1: It's out just in Nashville right now. But Buck, I 545 00:31:16,040 --> 00:31:19,960 Speaker 1: basically am living out my you know, sort of adult 546 00:31:20,000 --> 00:31:23,800 Speaker 1: fantasy camp where it's like, oh, we've had a bar. Uh, 547 00:31:23,840 --> 00:31:25,920 Speaker 1: now I'm gonna have a beer. May end up with 548 00:31:25,960 --> 00:31:29,200 Speaker 1: a liquor at some point, um, you know, getting to 549 00:31:29,240 --> 00:31:31,600 Speaker 1: do a lot of cool things that that had some 550 00:31:31,640 --> 00:31:33,720 Speaker 1: appeal to me. So our beer, Like we threw a 551 00:31:33,760 --> 00:31:37,160 Speaker 1: Halloween party and the beer at the Halloween party was 552 00:31:37,600 --> 00:31:43,600 Speaker 1: our beer and now two. So the gluten and I'm 553 00:31:43,600 --> 00:31:46,280 Speaker 1: just throwing that out there. So we've got a great crew, 554 00:31:46,320 --> 00:31:48,480 Speaker 1: and I'm curious what people think about this beer. So 555 00:31:48,520 --> 00:31:50,920 Speaker 1: it's good. It's available all over Nashville. Now that's what 556 00:31:50,960 --> 00:31:53,000 Speaker 1: we're so I need to know, though, what has to 557 00:31:53,040 --> 00:31:55,560 Speaker 1: be I'm making you call your shot now because we're 558 00:31:55,560 --> 00:32:04,240 Speaker 1: a week away. If Drazen Zelden win, we win fifty 559 00:32:04,360 --> 00:32:06,440 Speaker 1: three sentence? What has to happen for you and me 560 00:32:06,520 --> 00:32:09,320 Speaker 1: to end up in some Nashvillion's pickup truck in the 561 00:32:09,360 --> 00:32:13,680 Speaker 1: back doing videos crying tears of joy at the restoration 562 00:32:13,760 --> 00:32:17,080 Speaker 1: of sanity in America? Like, what what is the goal? 563 00:32:17,200 --> 00:32:20,240 Speaker 1: The high water mark? You know what that is. That's 564 00:32:20,240 --> 00:32:22,040 Speaker 1: a great question for people out there who don't remember. 565 00:32:22,160 --> 00:32:24,880 Speaker 1: That was my reaction when Tennessee beat Alabama. I ended 566 00:32:24,960 --> 00:32:27,360 Speaker 1: up drunk in the back of a pickup truck crying 567 00:32:27,400 --> 00:32:29,560 Speaker 1: about how excited I was. That video is still out 568 00:32:29,600 --> 00:32:32,760 Speaker 1: there somewhere. Some of the most emotional sports moment I've 569 00:32:32,800 --> 00:32:35,000 Speaker 1: witnessed since I saw Rudy when I was like twelve. 570 00:32:35,120 --> 00:32:37,720 Speaker 1: By the way, So yeah, well, Tennessee's got a big 571 00:32:37,760 --> 00:32:41,520 Speaker 1: game against against Hershall Walkers, Georgia squad this weekend too. 572 00:32:42,600 --> 00:32:46,600 Speaker 1: So I think that the I really do Republicans in 573 00:32:46,680 --> 00:32:49,560 Speaker 1: my opinion, are gonna win fifty three Senate seats. So 574 00:32:50,200 --> 00:32:55,040 Speaker 1: that would be a major, major, big deal. If I 575 00:32:55,200 --> 00:32:59,880 Speaker 1: could get Tutor Dixon to beat Gretchen Wittmer in Michigan, 576 00:33:00,320 --> 00:33:03,720 Speaker 1: if we could get Lee's Elden to win in New York, 577 00:33:04,160 --> 00:33:06,600 Speaker 1: and if we could get Christine Drayson, who's gonna be 578 00:33:06,640 --> 00:33:08,840 Speaker 1: on with us next hour, by the way, or a 579 00:33:08,880 --> 00:33:11,560 Speaker 1: little about two thirty eastern on this program in Oregon, 580 00:33:12,200 --> 00:33:15,479 Speaker 1: that would feel to me like a red tsunami result. 581 00:33:15,560 --> 00:33:18,280 Speaker 1: And I'd also that's that's Grand Slam territory, right that. 582 00:33:18,320 --> 00:33:21,400 Speaker 1: I'd also love Tiffany Smiley to take down Patty Murray. 583 00:33:22,400 --> 00:33:25,400 Speaker 1: But those would be the kind of result. And again, 584 00:33:25,520 --> 00:33:33,040 Speaker 1: fifty three would require Arizona, Georgia, and Nevada all flip. 585 00:33:33,120 --> 00:33:35,920 Speaker 1: And that's where we're leading right now. Did you make 586 00:33:35,960 --> 00:33:38,040 Speaker 1: a little, a little bit little phone call maybe to 587 00:33:38,200 --> 00:33:41,920 Speaker 1: some of your former libertarian pals to tell them to 588 00:33:42,000 --> 00:33:45,320 Speaker 1: step back and see that in Arizona they're stepping away, 589 00:33:45,400 --> 00:33:48,680 Speaker 1: the candidate has endorsed Blake. I'm just it's a nice little, 590 00:33:48,840 --> 00:33:50,640 Speaker 1: nice little thing at the last minute here the people 591 00:33:50,680 --> 00:33:55,560 Speaker 1: weren't expecting. Libertarians apparently don't like sky high inflation and 592 00:33:55,720 --> 00:33:58,760 Speaker 1: being clubbed by lunatics on the street. Either, that's good, 593 00:33:59,440 --> 00:34:01,680 Speaker 1: and let me say that's all buy libertarian people out 594 00:34:01,720 --> 00:34:03,320 Speaker 1: there listening, because I know a lot of you listen. 595 00:34:03,360 --> 00:34:07,440 Speaker 1: I have voted libertarian before. I'm fine when people vote libertarian. 596 00:34:07,520 --> 00:34:10,280 Speaker 1: Let me explain myself when you live in a state 597 00:34:10,440 --> 00:34:13,359 Speaker 1: where there's not really a lot at stake. I live 598 00:34:13,440 --> 00:34:18,160 Speaker 1: in Tennessee. I voted libertarian. The results of the elections 599 00:34:18,239 --> 00:34:22,200 Speaker 1: are not typically close in Tennessee. Right Republicans win landslide. 600 00:34:22,239 --> 00:34:24,440 Speaker 1: So it's a luxury to be able to say, well, 601 00:34:24,440 --> 00:34:26,560 Speaker 1: I agree with this party on this issue. I've done 602 00:34:26,600 --> 00:34:32,760 Speaker 1: in the past. Right. But if you live in Georgia, Arizona, Nevada, certainly, 603 00:34:32,840 --> 00:34:36,160 Speaker 1: if you live in Pennsylvania, any of these states Wisconsin 604 00:34:36,239 --> 00:34:38,320 Speaker 1: that are going to be close, and now Washington, and 605 00:34:38,640 --> 00:34:41,799 Speaker 1: basically if you're voting libertarian in this election, I think 606 00:34:41,840 --> 00:34:45,080 Speaker 1: that you are in imbecile. Okay, Now, if you happen 607 00:34:45,120 --> 00:34:47,520 Speaker 1: to live in California and it's not going to be close, 608 00:34:47,960 --> 00:34:51,560 Speaker 1: or you happen to live in Alabama and it's not 609 00:34:51,680 --> 00:34:54,400 Speaker 1: going to be close. I can forgive that a little 610 00:34:54,440 --> 00:34:59,160 Speaker 1: bit for your choice, but don't vote libertarian in any 611 00:34:59,239 --> 00:35:02,600 Speaker 1: remotely clo race, and especially in Georgia. But remember they 612 00:35:02,640 --> 00:35:05,320 Speaker 1: have to get over fifty percent Herschel does and Brian 613 00:35:05,400 --> 00:35:08,440 Speaker 1: Kemp does or they have a real runoff. As everybody remembers, 614 00:35:08,960 --> 00:35:12,400 Speaker 1: the difference between Donald Trump winning the presidency in twenty twenty, 615 00:35:12,520 --> 00:35:14,719 Speaker 1: even with all the shenanigans, even with all the big 616 00:35:14,800 --> 00:35:19,680 Speaker 1: tech rig job that went on, and not winning was libertarians, right, 617 00:35:20,239 --> 00:35:24,280 Speaker 1: all those people in Arizona, all those people in Wisconsin, Georgia. 618 00:35:24,520 --> 00:35:26,840 Speaker 1: If you look at the margin by which Trump, on 619 00:35:26,960 --> 00:35:31,000 Speaker 1: the record lost those states forty thousand total votes, there 620 00:35:31,080 --> 00:35:33,719 Speaker 1: were enough libertarians there that would have put Trump in, 621 00:35:34,080 --> 00:35:36,239 Speaker 1: and instead you put Joe Biden in, and he's the 622 00:35:36,280 --> 00:35:39,160 Speaker 1: biggest authoritarian in most of our I was gonna say, 623 00:35:39,320 --> 00:35:43,200 Speaker 1: just you know, philosophically, if someone is a libertarian and 624 00:35:43,360 --> 00:35:46,040 Speaker 1: they are serious about those convictions, they are serious in 625 00:35:46,080 --> 00:35:50,759 Speaker 1: those beliefs. The Democrats went on the most anti liberty 626 00:35:52,840 --> 00:35:57,000 Speaker 1: streak of madness I have ever seen in my lifetime, 627 00:35:57,440 --> 00:36:00,800 Speaker 1: full stop the last two years. Nothing come close to it. 628 00:36:01,239 --> 00:36:04,680 Speaker 1: So if you care about liberty, as a conservative, as 629 00:36:04,719 --> 00:36:08,600 Speaker 1: an independent, as a libertarian, as a Democrat. This is 630 00:36:08,680 --> 00:36:12,640 Speaker 1: your chance to say that was unacceptable and we should 631 00:36:12,760 --> 00:36:15,600 Speaker 1: never go down that pathway again. Or you can just 632 00:36:15,800 --> 00:36:18,719 Speaker 1: you know, sit in your clothes down restaurant, eating your 633 00:36:18,760 --> 00:36:22,080 Speaker 1: Cuomo chips by yourself outside the next time that there's 634 00:36:22,080 --> 00:36:25,720 Speaker 1: a really bad, you know, flu season. That's what we're facing. 635 00:36:26,600 --> 00:36:28,080 Speaker 1: We'll be back here in a little bit.
