On this episode, 5 00:00:24,217 --> 00:00:28,177 Speaker 2: our friend Ryan Gradowsky returns. He is the founder of 6 00:00:28,217 --> 00:00:31,537 Speaker 2: the seventeen to seventy six Project Pack, and he'll tell 7 00:00:31,577 --> 00:00:33,017 Speaker 2: us a bit about what they've been up to. Also, 8 00:00:33,057 --> 00:00:39,017 Speaker 2: his Substack, which is the National Populist newsletter, is phenomenal 9 00:00:39,137 --> 00:00:42,297 Speaker 2: and you should all check it out subscribe to it 10 00:00:42,337 --> 00:00:46,497 Speaker 2: on substack. We're going to talk about Trump, DeSantis, Biden 11 00:00:46,657 --> 00:00:52,377 Speaker 2: versus whoever early states, the twenty twenty four process, how 12 00:00:52,377 --> 00:00:54,417 Speaker 2: it's all shaken out, how it's looking in some school 13 00:00:54,417 --> 00:00:58,217 Speaker 2: board stuff. So deep dive in into politics here, Ryan, 14 00:00:58,297 --> 00:01:01,417 Speaker 2: let's start with this one. Well, we'll do this in 15 00:01:01,457 --> 00:01:06,497 Speaker 2: what will be effectively chronological order. How's the Trump DeSantis 16 00:01:06,697 --> 00:01:08,337 Speaker 2: reality playing out right now? 17 00:01:10,457 --> 00:01:13,697 Speaker 1: Right now? Is Trump is obviously way ahead. I mean, 18 00:01:13,737 --> 00:01:16,457 Speaker 1: he's probably ahead in every single state he's game. Trump 19 00:01:16,537 --> 00:01:20,697 Speaker 1: had massive losses after the primary after the general election 20 00:01:20,777 --> 00:01:24,377 Speaker 1: of twenty twenty two because most of his candidates lost. 21 00:01:24,417 --> 00:01:26,217 Speaker 1: He backed a lot of losers, and I think with 22 00:01:26,297 --> 00:01:29,857 Speaker 1: the exception of like one one candidate in every state 23 00:01:30,057 --> 00:01:32,817 Speaker 1: he lost in twenty sixteen or twenty twenty, rather all 24 00:01:32,857 --> 00:01:35,177 Speaker 1: of his candidates lost. I think just the lieutenant governor 25 00:01:35,177 --> 00:01:38,977 Speaker 1: of George was the only one who won. So people 26 00:01:38,977 --> 00:01:41,977 Speaker 1: were frowning on him because he couldn't win elections. And 27 00:01:42,017 --> 00:01:44,417 Speaker 1: then you know, time kind of heals all wounds and 28 00:01:44,457 --> 00:01:49,017 Speaker 1: people forgot. And he also had that arrest, which was 29 00:01:49,217 --> 00:01:52,657 Speaker 1: that dyne sentence, and there was a rally on the 30 00:01:52,737 --> 00:01:56,657 Speaker 1: King effect, and I think that that is definitely benefiting him, 31 00:01:56,937 --> 00:01:59,857 Speaker 1: and he's really the only one actually running. Trump has 32 00:01:59,897 --> 00:02:03,617 Speaker 1: an effective team actually working to Sanders done up. He 33 00:02:03,737 --> 00:02:06,297 Speaker 1: just doesn't have a real campaign operation. 34 00:02:06,937 --> 00:02:08,897 Speaker 2: What do you say? What do you say to people 35 00:02:09,337 --> 00:02:12,537 Speaker 2: Ryan who at this point say, well, hold on a second. 36 00:02:12,537 --> 00:02:15,817 Speaker 2: DeSantis isn't really a candidate yet, so it's not fair 37 00:02:15,937 --> 00:02:19,097 Speaker 2: to assess how he's doing as a candidate. 38 00:02:20,577 --> 00:02:25,377 Speaker 1: That is true. You can have an operation when you 39 00:02:25,457 --> 00:02:29,017 Speaker 1: are not a candidate too, as a precursor. So you 40 00:02:29,017 --> 00:02:31,697 Speaker 1: could have a surrogacy program, right would he'd have people, 41 00:02:31,777 --> 00:02:37,817 Speaker 1: high profile people on television every day defending him, promoting him, 42 00:02:37,857 --> 00:02:41,937 Speaker 1: attacking Trump as a precursor that doesn't exist. You could 43 00:02:41,977 --> 00:02:45,817 Speaker 1: have early endorsements as far as the ground game lined 44 00:02:45,897 --> 00:02:49,537 Speaker 1: up in an important first few states. That isn't happening. 45 00:02:49,577 --> 00:02:51,857 Speaker 1: In fact, Leezelden, who was supposed to allegedly be one 46 00:02:51,897 --> 00:02:54,337 Speaker 1: of the key people in his New York campaign. New 47 00:02:54,417 --> 00:02:56,337 Speaker 1: York is I think the fifth or sixth state to 48 00:02:56,417 --> 00:02:58,817 Speaker 1: vote in this primary cycle at the time because they switch. 49 00:03:01,097 --> 00:03:05,457 Speaker 1: He just endorsed Trump. He doesn't have an effective operation 50 00:03:05,617 --> 00:03:09,097 Speaker 1: in the slightest. He's doing these book tour events and 51 00:03:09,137 --> 00:03:13,137 Speaker 1: he's going to Japan, and it is extraordinarily tone deaf 52 00:03:13,177 --> 00:03:17,457 Speaker 1: for the moment. And he really hasn't had a big 53 00:03:17,577 --> 00:03:20,457 Speaker 1: news story since the six week abortion Man, which is 54 00:03:20,537 --> 00:03:23,657 Speaker 1: hugely unpopular. So the last big news story is the 55 00:03:23,657 --> 00:03:28,337 Speaker 1: abortion man, wildly unpopular. Its has unpopular to defund the police, 56 00:03:28,617 --> 00:03:31,937 Speaker 1: and he has no ceregacy program to defend him on 57 00:03:32,017 --> 00:03:36,457 Speaker 1: television and radio every day, and he has no operation 58 00:03:36,617 --> 00:03:40,817 Speaker 1: to start building out early early state organization. He literally 59 00:03:40,817 --> 00:03:42,817 Speaker 1: just lost with of his key people to Trump. So 60 00:03:44,137 --> 00:03:46,617 Speaker 1: that is not that is clearly not evan that he's 61 00:03:46,617 --> 00:03:50,577 Speaker 1: actually running a real operation in any sense of the word. 62 00:03:50,977 --> 00:03:54,297 Speaker 1: And Trump is. And Trump has Susie Wiles, who as 63 00:03:54,337 --> 00:03:57,817 Speaker 1: this political campaign person who is one of the best 64 00:03:57,857 --> 00:04:01,497 Speaker 1: in the business. Susie is brilliant, and she it's not 65 00:04:01,697 --> 00:04:05,457 Speaker 1: private public information. She hates rond de Santas, and she 66 00:04:05,697 --> 00:04:06,417 Speaker 1: is you know. 67 00:04:06,577 --> 00:04:09,297 Speaker 2: Why does she hate Why does she hate Ronda Santis? 68 00:04:09,297 --> 00:04:10,817 Speaker 2: Because you're an insight her with this stuff. A lot 69 00:04:10,857 --> 00:04:12,737 Speaker 2: of people won't know that. Why is there beef there? 70 00:04:14,257 --> 00:04:20,057 Speaker 1: Ron got her fired for allegedly leaking materials and she 71 00:04:20,057 --> 00:04:24,097 Speaker 1: she says she never really did. So that's the entire fight. 72 00:04:24,217 --> 00:04:26,817 Speaker 1: The fight is over the fact that she got fired 73 00:04:26,857 --> 00:04:30,177 Speaker 1: in a campaign, I think the twenty twenty presidential campaign. 74 00:04:30,257 --> 00:04:33,857 Speaker 1: She got fired from out of deference to Dissantas, who 75 00:04:33,857 --> 00:04:36,577 Speaker 1: said she was a leaker because he does hate leaking 76 00:04:36,577 --> 00:04:38,777 Speaker 1: Disanta's and he's very good at not having people leak 77 00:04:38,817 --> 00:04:41,697 Speaker 1: in his operation. And she says that she never did it. 78 00:04:41,777 --> 00:04:43,897 Speaker 1: And that's literally in the feud. 79 00:04:44,137 --> 00:04:46,737 Speaker 2: Wow, So there's like a blood feud in the midst 80 00:04:46,897 --> 00:04:48,897 Speaker 2: of all this politics as well. 81 00:04:50,217 --> 00:04:52,537 Speaker 1: Yeah, and that's why you noticed that Trump is going 82 00:04:52,577 --> 00:04:55,017 Speaker 1: harder on Desanta's. It's not just because he's a primary opponent. 83 00:04:55,057 --> 00:04:57,777 Speaker 1: It's because, like the hate from that campaign is real. 84 00:04:58,297 --> 00:05:00,617 Speaker 1: I would estimate there are people within that camp who 85 00:05:00,617 --> 00:05:02,657 Speaker 1: want to be desantisma than they want to be fired. 86 00:05:03,897 --> 00:05:08,257 Speaker 2: Wow, what could DeSantis do at this point in your mind? 87 00:05:08,777 --> 00:05:10,657 Speaker 2: What has to happen for him to try to make 88 00:05:10,697 --> 00:05:12,177 Speaker 2: up some of the ground that has been lost to 89 00:05:12,217 --> 00:05:13,457 Speaker 2: Trump in the last few months. 90 00:05:14,457 --> 00:05:18,617 Speaker 1: One he needs a national message, Uh, Florida Freedom lives 91 00:05:18,617 --> 00:05:20,857 Speaker 1: in Florida is not a national message. It's not You're 92 00:05:20,857 --> 00:05:23,257 Speaker 1: not going to plant palm trees in Michigan. Like, there's 93 00:05:23,297 --> 00:05:26,217 Speaker 1: no actual I read his book too, there's no national 94 00:05:26,617 --> 00:05:29,937 Speaker 1: message of what he wants to do as a leader. Like, 95 00:05:30,137 --> 00:05:33,497 Speaker 1: you can't make every state Florida. It's just not actually possible. 96 00:05:33,897 --> 00:05:36,457 Speaker 1: So what are you going to do for the industrial Midwest? 97 00:05:36,497 --> 00:05:38,977 Speaker 1: What are you going to do for the Southwest? What 98 00:05:39,017 --> 00:05:42,217 Speaker 1: are you going to do in in places like New 99 00:05:42,217 --> 00:05:45,377 Speaker 1: Hampshire and main second congressional which are still swing areas. 100 00:05:45,697 --> 00:05:48,777 Speaker 1: What are you going to do in in in places 101 00:05:48,777 --> 00:05:51,737 Speaker 1: that are key swing congressional districts that need Republican support, 102 00:05:51,817 --> 00:05:54,897 Speaker 1: like in you know, in Oregon's fourth and fifth district, 103 00:05:55,017 --> 00:05:58,457 Speaker 1: or in you know, the eastern part of what you know, 104 00:05:58,617 --> 00:06:00,817 Speaker 1: Washington State where you need Republicans to turn out for 105 00:06:00,857 --> 00:06:03,177 Speaker 1: their House candidates. What are you do for any of 106 00:06:03,217 --> 00:06:06,377 Speaker 1: those people. There's no national message. Florida lives free is 107 00:06:06,497 --> 00:06:09,137 Speaker 1: not a freedom was in Florida is not a national message. 108 00:06:09,257 --> 00:06:11,577 Speaker 1: What goes to die is not a national message. I 109 00:06:11,617 --> 00:06:14,177 Speaker 1: want something that sits there and says, if I close 110 00:06:14,257 --> 00:06:18,297 Speaker 1: my eyes, I can envision like a country that Ron 111 00:06:18,337 --> 00:06:21,297 Speaker 1: de Santa's leads. That's not there. He needs a surrogacy 112 00:06:21,377 --> 00:06:24,537 Speaker 1: program to attack Trump every single solitary day on media. 113 00:06:25,177 --> 00:06:26,617 Speaker 1: He doesn't have to do it, but he has to 114 00:06:26,617 --> 00:06:28,577 Speaker 1: have people who do it. Nikki Haley is not doing it. 115 00:06:28,617 --> 00:06:31,577 Speaker 1: She only attacking him, and Alsill Hutchinson Nowe's gonna care 116 00:06:31,577 --> 00:06:34,857 Speaker 1: about and vivec doesn't do it either. And you need 117 00:06:35,777 --> 00:06:38,017 Speaker 1: and you need endorsements to start coming, and you need 118 00:06:38,057 --> 00:06:40,897 Speaker 1: a national rally about you and say why you can't. 119 00:06:41,177 --> 00:06:43,777 Speaker 1: It's so bad right now for the Desanta's team that 120 00:06:43,857 --> 00:06:47,897 Speaker 1: in the morn Console poll, Republicans view Trump is more 121 00:06:47,897 --> 00:06:52,377 Speaker 1: electable than Desanta's, which is ampatomically and like any sense 122 00:06:52,417 --> 00:06:55,017 Speaker 1: of the word. But he's lost even messaging on that. 123 00:06:55,337 --> 00:06:58,057 Speaker 1: Trump is the greatest person when it comes to branding 124 00:06:58,097 --> 00:07:00,377 Speaker 1: in the history of the world, him and Kim Kardashian. 125 00:07:00,457 --> 00:07:04,257 Speaker 1: It's really true and he has branded himself on certain 126 00:07:04,297 --> 00:07:06,617 Speaker 1: things as being an outsider when he's an insider, as 127 00:07:06,657 --> 00:07:09,897 Speaker 1: being a winner when he's a loser, like with elections, 128 00:07:10,057 --> 00:07:12,537 Speaker 1: being somebody who's accomplished things that he never accomplished, never 129 00:07:12,537 --> 00:07:15,537 Speaker 1: built a wall, like he says these things to these supporters, 130 00:07:15,577 --> 00:07:18,177 Speaker 1: and he's branded himself to these things for Republican voters, 131 00:07:18,177 --> 00:07:20,697 Speaker 1: and they believe it. They don't believe because it's true. 132 00:07:20,697 --> 00:07:22,537 Speaker 1: They believe because they trust the brand the same way 133 00:07:22,577 --> 00:07:24,337 Speaker 1: that people believe that smoking was good for you for 134 00:07:24,337 --> 00:07:28,137 Speaker 1: fifty sixty years, so the brand was solid. De Santas 135 00:07:28,137 --> 00:07:31,337 Speaker 1: doesn't have a real brand. He's only been like, you know, 136 00:07:32,017 --> 00:07:35,497 Speaker 1: real national government for four years and the people have 137 00:07:35,497 --> 00:07:39,617 Speaker 1: paid attention to it any way, and he, I mean, 138 00:07:39,657 --> 00:07:41,977 Speaker 1: the brand of freedom is not enough of a brand. 139 00:07:42,137 --> 00:07:46,017 Speaker 2: Tell me this, is there any poling, Is there any data, 140 00:07:46,057 --> 00:07:49,697 Speaker 2: any numbers that can give us some sense as to 141 00:07:49,777 --> 00:07:52,777 Speaker 2: whether DeSantis because you said, Trump has branded himself as 142 00:07:52,817 --> 00:07:56,537 Speaker 2: a winner. And it's interesting because even bringing up the 143 00:07:56,577 --> 00:08:00,737 Speaker 2: twenty twenty election, among certain people in the Republican base, 144 00:08:02,337 --> 00:08:04,137 Speaker 2: it's really difficult to have a conference. It's like, well, 145 00:08:04,137 --> 00:08:07,057 Speaker 2: what can be done to have a different outcome? Than 146 00:08:07,097 --> 00:08:09,737 Speaker 2: twenty twenty, and I'll get people who will say, well, 147 00:08:09,737 --> 00:08:11,697 Speaker 2: we don't need a different outcome in twenty twenty because 148 00:08:11,697 --> 00:08:13,697 Speaker 2: you want to which. 149 00:08:13,497 --> 00:08:17,857 Speaker 1: I say, try himself. Trump himself privately has said he's lost, 150 00:08:18,417 --> 00:08:20,457 Speaker 1: like but he's branded himself as a winner. 151 00:08:20,657 --> 00:08:22,457 Speaker 2: But you see what I mean, Like, how do you 152 00:08:22,497 --> 00:08:26,617 Speaker 2: even how are you going to address campaign strategy with 153 00:08:26,817 --> 00:08:30,737 Speaker 2: that portion of the GOP base that's going to say, no, 154 00:08:30,897 --> 00:08:33,417 Speaker 2: the strategy was great last time. We just need the 155 00:08:33,457 --> 00:08:36,177 Speaker 2: same strategy this time. Let me put this a better way. 156 00:08:36,777 --> 00:08:41,297 Speaker 2: If DeSantis and his surrogates, once De Santis gets in 157 00:08:41,337 --> 00:08:44,657 Speaker 2: this race, which we're all expecting to happen, if they attract, 158 00:08:45,017 --> 00:08:49,897 Speaker 2: if they attack Trump for being a loser in twenty twenty, 159 00:08:50,497 --> 00:08:55,177 Speaker 2: is that going to poison the base against him or 160 00:08:55,257 --> 00:08:56,897 Speaker 2: is that an effective tactic. 161 00:08:58,097 --> 00:09:00,697 Speaker 1: DeSantis himself does not have to sit there and say 162 00:09:00,697 --> 00:09:03,257 Speaker 1: that although a debate post is going to ask him 163 00:09:03,297 --> 00:09:05,457 Speaker 1: that question point blank, like you will ask, like a 164 00:09:05,497 --> 00:09:09,377 Speaker 1: debate host will ask every question. De Santa's could sit 165 00:09:09,377 --> 00:09:12,457 Speaker 1: there and say that outside people affecting the election, like 166 00:09:12,497 --> 00:09:17,257 Speaker 1: social media and blocking one hundred and Biden, that is all. 167 00:09:17,057 --> 00:09:21,897 Speaker 2: True, by the way, that's all real yeah, of course 168 00:09:22,777 --> 00:09:23,697 Speaker 2: it was fixed. 169 00:09:23,937 --> 00:09:27,257 Speaker 1: It wasn't exactly Stone. There's a difference. There was definitely 170 00:09:27,337 --> 00:09:30,417 Speaker 1: people putting their thumbs on the scale against Trump. Guess what, 171 00:09:30,577 --> 00:09:33,817 Speaker 1: Welcome to Republican verus Democrat politics that will always exist, 172 00:09:33,817 --> 00:09:36,337 Speaker 1: That exists under George W. Bush as well. There was 173 00:09:36,657 --> 00:09:39,017 Speaker 1: huge efforts against Bush in two thousand and four, when 174 00:09:39,137 --> 00:09:42,337 Speaker 1: during his reelection, huge efforts against McCain and against Romney, 175 00:09:42,417 --> 00:09:45,777 Speaker 1: and you against Donald Trump in twenty sixteen. The difference 176 00:09:45,777 --> 00:09:48,777 Speaker 1: between winning and losing is is huge. And this is 177 00:09:48,817 --> 00:09:50,097 Speaker 1: like the main difference I wrote with this is my 178 00:09:50,137 --> 00:09:53,457 Speaker 1: substock of the National Office substock. When he ran against Hillary. 179 00:09:53,497 --> 00:09:56,817 Speaker 1: You had two hugely unlikable characters, Hillary Clinton and Donald 180 00:09:56,817 --> 00:10:00,937 Speaker 1: Trump incredibly unlikable. The difference was that Trump won the 181 00:10:01,057 --> 00:10:03,577 Speaker 1: vote of the people who don't like either of them 182 00:10:03,897 --> 00:10:07,057 Speaker 1: by twenty points. So if you didn't like Hillary or Trump, 183 00:10:07,337 --> 00:10:10,777 Speaker 1: you were more likely to vote for Trump then for Hillary. Now, 184 00:10:10,937 --> 00:10:12,857 Speaker 1: and this is this is the Wall Street Trunal poll 185 00:10:12,897 --> 00:10:15,737 Speaker 1: that was done by Tony Fabrizio, who is Trump's pollster. 186 00:10:15,897 --> 00:10:18,897 Speaker 1: This is Trump's poll and Tony is a fabulous pollster. 187 00:10:20,497 --> 00:10:22,697 Speaker 1: He's and Tony, by the way, has said over and 188 00:10:22,737 --> 00:10:27,217 Speaker 1: over the electionalism' Stonlee. But that's besides the point Tony said. 189 00:10:27,297 --> 00:10:30,657 Speaker 1: Among people who don't like Biden to Biden and don't 190 00:10:30,737 --> 00:10:33,777 Speaker 1: like Trump, that same population, which is close to the 191 00:10:33,777 --> 00:10:37,497 Speaker 1: majority of the country, in both cases, they support Biden 192 00:10:37,577 --> 00:10:40,417 Speaker 1: over Trump by a manager of fifty one to fifteen. 193 00:10:41,537 --> 00:10:43,817 Speaker 1: So he is losing that same group of people that 194 00:10:43,937 --> 00:10:47,057 Speaker 1: he won eight years ago by twenty points. He's losing 195 00:10:47,097 --> 00:10:51,257 Speaker 1: them by almost forty points this time. So there's no Yeah. 196 00:10:51,817 --> 00:10:53,977 Speaker 2: I was just gonna say, I want to return to this. 197 00:10:54,017 --> 00:10:56,057 Speaker 2: I just want to take a moment for our sponsor 198 00:10:56,057 --> 00:10:58,977 Speaker 2: here because I want to ask these two questions. Where 199 00:10:58,977 --> 00:11:00,777 Speaker 2: does Trump stand? Which is a continuation what you're going 200 00:11:00,817 --> 00:11:02,377 Speaker 2: to say, and I'm sorry to cut you off it 201 00:11:02,417 --> 00:11:05,617 Speaker 2: in mean too, but where does Trump stand visa VI Biden? 202 00:11:05,657 --> 00:11:08,137 Speaker 2: Based on the numbers right now? What does that tell 203 00:11:08,217 --> 00:11:10,577 Speaker 2: us about where it's going in twenty twenty four? And then, 204 00:11:10,937 --> 00:11:12,937 Speaker 2: because I have a feeling what you say maybe a 205 00:11:12,937 --> 00:11:17,457 Speaker 2: little depressing, what could Trump do as the nominee to 206 00:11:17,617 --> 00:11:21,017 Speaker 2: get the numbers he needs to win? So I want 207 00:11:21,057 --> 00:11:22,457 Speaker 2: to come back to that a second. So we're not 208 00:11:22,497 --> 00:11:24,337 Speaker 2: just all like super depressed, like why are we even 209 00:11:24,377 --> 00:11:27,217 Speaker 2: having an election, because sometimes I hear people talk about that' 210 00:11:27,217 --> 00:11:29,857 Speaker 2: how it feels. But how many more headlines and much 211 00:11:29,897 --> 00:11:33,257 Speaker 2: more speculation of our dollar no longer being the world's currency. 212 00:11:33,297 --> 00:11:35,737 Speaker 2: Do you need to see before deciding it's time to 213 00:11:35,817 --> 00:11:38,817 Speaker 2: diversify with a purchase of gold. Look, I'm like you. 214 00:11:38,977 --> 00:11:40,977 Speaker 2: I want our dollar to be the currency standard for 215 00:11:41,017 --> 00:11:43,137 Speaker 2: a long time to come. But there are a number 216 00:11:43,137 --> 00:11:45,657 Speaker 2: of strong world forces that are trying to change that, 217 00:11:45,937 --> 00:11:48,817 Speaker 2: and they may well be succeeding. China, Saudi Arabia, Russia, 218 00:11:49,177 --> 00:11:52,417 Speaker 2: you name them, one country after another. Look, gold is good. 219 00:11:52,737 --> 00:11:55,457 Speaker 2: The value and stability of gold as both an investment 220 00:11:55,497 --> 00:11:57,937 Speaker 2: and a hedge against inflation has been proven time and 221 00:11:57,977 --> 00:12:01,057 Speaker 2: time again. So is my precious metals vendor of choice, 222 00:12:01,057 --> 00:12:03,937 Speaker 2: Oxford Gold Group, since I started investing in Speaking of 223 00:12:04,017 --> 00:12:06,777 Speaker 2: Oxford Gold Group four years ago, their advice and direction 224 00:12:06,897 --> 00:12:09,937 Speaker 2: has proven right repeatedly.

Here, we're starting with the bat and the ugly. Though. 242 00:12:57,057 --> 00:13:00,697 Speaker 2: I think kind of things look right now based on 243 00:13:00,737 --> 00:13:02,257 Speaker 2: the trend. Let's just put it based on what you 244 00:13:02,297 --> 00:13:04,977 Speaker 2: said about DeSantis. Let's just assume now Trump's nominee, right 245 00:13:05,017 --> 00:13:08,857 Speaker 2: rest of this conversation, Let's assume Trump's nominee. So how 246 00:13:08,857 --> 00:13:11,217 Speaker 2: does it look for Trump going into twenty twenty four 247 00:13:11,537 --> 00:13:13,377 Speaker 2: against just against Biden? 248 00:13:14,497 --> 00:13:17,217 Speaker 1: So right now, everything suggests he would lose every single 249 00:13:17,297 --> 00:13:20,977 Speaker 1: state he lost in twenty twenty plus North Carolina and 250 00:13:21,097 --> 00:13:23,857 Speaker 1: Texas would be extremely close. He would come very close 251 00:13:23,897 --> 00:13:25,617 Speaker 1: to losing Texas within a point or two. 252 00:13:26,737 --> 00:13:29,537 Speaker 2: Well, that's terrifying. Losing Texas is. 253 00:13:29,857 --> 00:13:33,577 Speaker 1: Yeah, that's how bad. That's how disliked. Donald Trump has 254 00:13:33,617 --> 00:13:37,097 Speaker 1: a favorability rating among voters about thirty five percent right now. 255 00:13:37,297 --> 00:13:39,377 Speaker 1: He is one of the most toxic individuals on a 256 00:13:39,457 --> 00:13:42,377 Speaker 1: national stage. Only the only persons more talks than him 257 00:13:42,857 --> 00:13:47,297 Speaker 1: is Mike pens and Kamala Harris. So it's very bad. 258 00:13:47,577 --> 00:13:52,497 Speaker 2: That's not that's not encouraging. What was really bad? What 259 00:13:52,657 --> 00:13:55,177 Speaker 2: would no I've gotten me. It's really bad. Part of 260 00:13:55,177 --> 00:14:01,057 Speaker 2: this for sure? What just from a demographics perspective, so 261 00:14:01,177 --> 00:14:04,977 Speaker 2: everyone knows this, what was lacking in twenty twenty, right, 262 00:14:04,977 --> 00:14:07,337 Speaker 2: put aside all the other noise and the and the 263 00:14:07,337 --> 00:14:11,257 Speaker 2: the zucker Bucks and the ballot harvest, all that stuff, right, 264 00:14:11,297 --> 00:14:16,297 Speaker 2: you know whatever, Right, what numbers weren't there that needed 265 00:14:16,297 --> 00:14:18,817 Speaker 2: to be there to win the key states who either 266 00:14:18,897 --> 00:14:20,777 Speaker 2: didn't show up or showed up for the other side 267 00:14:20,817 --> 00:14:23,257 Speaker 2: in twenty twenty when Trump was trying to win re election. 268 00:14:24,337 --> 00:14:26,537 Speaker 1: So I mean, I think that I think that Trump's 269 00:14:26,537 --> 00:14:29,417 Speaker 1: campaign team, and Trump has said something to this effect. 270 00:14:29,617 --> 00:14:33,177 Speaker 1: I think this campaign team made a very frequent mistake 271 00:14:33,377 --> 00:14:35,497 Speaker 1: of underestimating Hammy who were going to turn it on 272 00:14:35,537 --> 00:14:37,377 Speaker 1: the electric. I think that he thought it was much 273 00:14:37,417 --> 00:14:40,177 Speaker 1: lower than it was, which happens. Why do a lot 274 00:14:40,217 --> 00:14:43,377 Speaker 1: of campaigns from city council homewards? Just more people shout 275 00:14:43,417 --> 00:14:46,097 Speaker 1: up there, more engaged. But I think when you look 276 00:14:46,137 --> 00:14:49,377 Speaker 1: at the overall numbers of there, Trump is like just 277 00:14:49,537 --> 00:14:53,857 Speaker 1: bleeding support. It's among white suburbanites. It is so bad, 278 00:14:53,897 --> 00:14:56,297 Speaker 1: it is so heavy and so bad that I don't 279 00:14:56,297 --> 00:14:59,097 Speaker 1: think that there's really much of there's. Okay, So if 280 00:14:59,097 --> 00:15:00,857 Speaker 1: you look the electric right, the elector's gonna be about 281 00:15:00,897 --> 00:15:04,297 Speaker 1: sixty three, sixty four percent Caucasian, maybe sixty five percent, 282 00:15:04,337 --> 00:15:07,177 Speaker 1: let's say sixty five per percent Caucasian. Trump will win 283 00:15:07,577 --> 00:15:10,177 Speaker 1: probably someone around fifty seven percent of that support, d 284 00:15:10,457 --> 00:15:12,257 Speaker 1: six percent of that support. So you start his number 285 00:15:12,297 --> 00:15:15,457 Speaker 1: at about thirty thirty six let's just say thirty six 286 00:15:15,537 --> 00:15:18,937 Speaker 1: percent support, Okay, Then the elector is also twelve percent 287 00:15:19,017 --> 00:15:21,617 Speaker 1: thirteen percent Black. Trump's going get one percent of that 288 00:15:21,777 --> 00:15:24,057 Speaker 1: if he's lucky. So now he goes from thirty four 289 00:15:24,137 --> 00:15:26,057 Speaker 1: to thirty five percent, the elector will be able to 290 00:15:26,057 --> 00:15:30,617 Speaker 1: fifteen percent Hispanic and among those if Trump does amazing, 291 00:15:30,657 --> 00:15:32,497 Speaker 1: if he was the number our pass, he does what 292 00:15:32,617 --> 00:15:35,097 Speaker 1: he did last time, let's say he gets thirty nine percent, 293 00:15:35,377 --> 00:15:37,657 Speaker 1: so it's three and a half four percent more, you're 294 00:15:37,777 --> 00:15:41,297 Speaker 1: at forty two forty three, and then there's a bump 295 00:15:41,337 --> 00:15:43,897 Speaker 1: from Asian, Native Americans, whatever, and you're forty three forty 296 00:15:43,897 --> 00:15:46,537 Speaker 1: four percent. What Trump managed to do in his first 297 00:15:46,577 --> 00:15:48,457 Speaker 1: election was one he got forty seven percent of the 298 00:15:48,577 --> 00:15:51,137 Speaker 1: vote by increasing the vote of non college educated whites, 299 00:15:51,577 --> 00:15:54,257 Speaker 1: because he kept enough college educated white who said I 300 00:15:54,337 --> 00:15:56,857 Speaker 1: hate Hillary Clinton, I hate her too much and black 301 00:15:56,937 --> 00:16:00,417 Speaker 1: voters who didn't vote. That dynamic does not work against 302 00:16:00,497 --> 00:16:02,417 Speaker 1: Joe Biden. Joe Biden, if you saw his first ad, 303 00:16:02,497 --> 00:16:06,577 Speaker 1: it was two major things, Democracy, thirty major things Democracy, abortion, 304 00:16:07,177 --> 00:16:09,897 Speaker 1: black votes. Because he has to keep the black vote high. 305 00:16:10,217 --> 00:16:12,737 Speaker 1: He has to sit there and engage the people who 306 00:16:12,857 --> 00:16:15,137 Speaker 1: hate January sixth and think about it every single solitary 307 00:16:15,217 --> 00:16:17,777 Speaker 1: day and say Trump's a fundamental threat of democracy and 308 00:16:18,417 --> 00:16:21,537 Speaker 1: sits there and brings up and brings up. 309 00:16:23,257 --> 00:16:26,537 Speaker 2: Can I tell you my concern and this is in 310 00:16:26,657 --> 00:16:30,217 Speaker 2: the and again I feel obligated here to continue to 311 00:16:30,297 --> 00:16:32,697 Speaker 2: try to just learn as much as possible and have 312 00:16:32,777 --> 00:16:35,257 Speaker 2: the most honest conversations possible about this, because it felt 313 00:16:35,337 --> 00:16:38,017 Speaker 2: like going into twenty twenty two. It was crime is bad, 314 00:16:38,097 --> 00:16:40,897 Speaker 2: economy is bad. We're going to kick their asses. Everything's 315 00:16:40,937 --> 00:16:43,737 Speaker 2: going to be awesome, and then whoops, not so much. 316 00:16:44,417 --> 00:16:46,857 Speaker 2: And while for me and a lot of other people, 317 00:16:47,337 --> 00:16:51,297 Speaker 2: Liz Cheney and the other Democrats, I know, she's a Republican, 318 00:16:51,337 --> 00:16:54,737 Speaker 2: but she's a Democrat now basically doing this January sixth, 319 00:16:54,977 --> 00:16:58,097 Speaker 2: you know, theatrical experience, like it was like the musical 320 00:16:58,257 --> 00:17:01,177 Speaker 2: Cats or you know, guys and Dolls or something, right, 321 00:17:01,217 --> 00:17:03,457 Speaker 2: but it was, you know, January sixth. I looked at 322 00:17:03,497 --> 00:17:07,377 Speaker 2: this and I thought this is preposterous. But when it 323 00:17:07,537 --> 00:17:10,777 Speaker 2: came to voting, it seemed that there were a lot 324 00:17:11,017 --> 00:17:15,817 Speaker 2: of independence and particularly college educated white voters for whom 325 00:17:15,857 --> 00:17:18,817 Speaker 2: that stuff resonated. They're like that January sixth stuff. 326 00:17:18,977 --> 00:17:19,137 Speaker 1: You know. 327 00:17:19,297 --> 00:17:20,897 Speaker 2: I feel I got yelled at on the Patrick that 328 00:17:21,057 --> 00:17:23,937 Speaker 2: David podcast recently because I was like, look like Trump's 329 00:17:23,977 --> 00:17:26,737 Speaker 2: in a tougher position now than he was running in 330 00:17:26,817 --> 00:17:29,817 Speaker 2: twenty twenty in a lot of ways. I don't think 331 00:17:29,857 --> 00:17:31,937 Speaker 2: he was blamed from the pandemic. I don't think that. 332 00:17:32,137 --> 00:17:34,137 Speaker 2: I think that's an easy excuse. I mean, sure it 333 00:17:34,177 --> 00:17:37,417 Speaker 2: made people depressed, but what do you think about, like 334 00:17:37,697 --> 00:17:40,737 Speaker 2: what happened with regard to the way that it went 335 00:17:40,777 --> 00:17:43,177 Speaker 2: in twenty twenty two, and how we can look at 336 00:17:43,217 --> 00:17:44,697 Speaker 2: the independent vote through that prism. 337 00:17:45,897 --> 00:17:48,897 Speaker 1: Well, remember in twenty sixteen, of our base of twenty 338 00:17:48,977 --> 00:17:51,617 Speaker 1: sixteen voters, several million are dead just because they've aged out, 339 00:17:52,217 --> 00:17:56,257 Speaker 1: and the demographic change in our country. Generation Zi Dian 340 00:17:56,337 --> 00:17:58,217 Speaker 1: not was not a big voter block even in twenty 341 00:17:58,297 --> 00:18:00,417 Speaker 1: twenty as it is now, and they're far left as 342 00:18:00,417 --> 00:18:03,617 Speaker 1: the most progressive generation ever. Where you're going to make 343 00:18:03,857 --> 00:18:06,137 Speaker 1: even though jen X, by the way, is becoming more 344 00:18:06,177 --> 00:18:09,537 Speaker 1: Republican and millennials are moving more Republican, despite a stupid 345 00:18:09,577 --> 00:18:12,377 Speaker 1: Financial Times article said, which is not true. Even though 346 00:18:12,457 --> 00:18:16,937 Speaker 1: millennials and Gen X are moving more Republican, it doesn't 347 00:18:16,977 --> 00:18:19,697 Speaker 1: account for the added votes and the dying of the 348 00:18:19,777 --> 00:18:23,697 Speaker 1: greatest generation. In that silent generation them dying, we're losing 349 00:18:23,737 --> 00:18:25,697 Speaker 1: a lot a lot of voters. If you look at 350 00:18:25,737 --> 00:18:30,777 Speaker 1: twenty twenty, Republicans are dominating on quality of life issues, education, crime, 351 00:18:31,057 --> 00:18:35,377 Speaker 1: housing prices, inflation. You look at a county like Maricopa County, Arizona, 352 00:18:35,457 --> 00:18:38,217 Speaker 1: sixty percent of the of the state of Arizona lives 353 00:18:38,217 --> 00:18:41,297 Speaker 1: in one county Republicans won the DA race they want 354 00:18:41,337 --> 00:18:45,857 Speaker 1: to buy eight points. Americopa they won, They won this, 355 00:18:46,417 --> 00:18:50,337 Speaker 1: the county school board seat, superintendent of education seat, they 356 00:18:50,457 --> 00:18:54,777 Speaker 1: won almost every down ballid election there was for quality 357 00:18:54,777 --> 00:18:56,777 Speaker 1: of life when they came to quality life issues in 358 00:18:56,937 --> 00:18:59,817 Speaker 1: twenty twenty two, who lost and whose main coulpriers were 359 00:18:59,857 --> 00:19:03,297 Speaker 1: love anyone who sat there and said abortion ban, support 360 00:19:03,297 --> 00:19:07,097 Speaker 1: abortion bans and the election was stolen Carry Lake Blank 361 00:19:07,217 --> 00:19:12,377 Speaker 1: Masters Obey whatever whatever his name was, and then Mark Fintrum. 362 00:19:12,737 --> 00:19:17,017 Speaker 1: They all lost across the entire board. You know, Ben 363 00:19:17,097 --> 00:19:18,937 Speaker 1: Tasha and not that you need to win Mayra Copa, 364 00:19:18,977 --> 00:19:21,177 Speaker 1: but you can't lose it because there's a guy. Tom 365 00:19:21,257 --> 00:19:25,657 Speaker 1: Horney was education superintendent of Arizona. He beat an incumbent 366 00:19:25,737 --> 00:19:29,017 Speaker 1: Democrat in twenty twenty two. He won statewide Arizona. Even 367 00:19:29,017 --> 00:19:31,097 Speaker 1: though he lost Maricopa. He's gonna lose by that much. 368 00:19:31,577 --> 00:19:36,577 Speaker 2: So do people do people from Mago world? Do they 369 00:19:36,737 --> 00:19:39,017 Speaker 2: argue with you on these numbers in this analysis, by 370 00:19:39,057 --> 00:19:41,657 Speaker 2: the way, like to you, not not the performative crap 371 00:19:41,737 --> 00:19:43,977 Speaker 2: on Twitter. I mean, do people really think they're wrong 372 00:19:44,057 --> 00:19:44,657 Speaker 2: on this stuff? 373 00:19:47,337 --> 00:19:50,657 Speaker 1: Not many? I mean not the people they just I mean, 374 00:19:50,697 --> 00:19:53,177 Speaker 1: I speak to people on Trump campaign world all the time, 375 00:19:53,297 --> 00:19:55,617 Speaker 1: and I just say to them, playing blank, like you 376 00:19:55,777 --> 00:19:58,697 Speaker 1: know you can't win, right, like you know, like this 377 00:19:58,937 --> 00:20:01,377 Speaker 1: is the Like it's just the primary. You're not gonna 378 00:20:01,417 --> 00:20:06,417 Speaker 1: win a general election. People genuinely independent, suburban, they genuinely 379 00:20:06,897 --> 00:20:08,977 Speaker 1: their minds are made up. There's not many people left 380 00:20:09,057 --> 00:20:11,457 Speaker 1: in this country who don't how they feel about Donald Trump. 381 00:20:11,817 --> 00:20:14,657 Speaker 1: And unless the conditions are so poor, things we can't 382 00:20:14,657 --> 00:20:16,257 Speaker 1: see out in the future. Let's say we go into 383 00:20:16,337 --> 00:20:19,017 Speaker 1: a massive recession. Let's say we go to war with 384 00:20:19,177 --> 00:20:22,097 Speaker 1: China or rush like something that happens and is cataclysmic. 385 00:20:22,857 --> 00:20:27,177 Speaker 1: Next level, there's another COVID problem, something on that level 386 00:20:27,697 --> 00:20:32,297 Speaker 1: that we we don't foresee. And people's heads or the 387 00:20:32,337 --> 00:20:36,697 Speaker 1: guns to their heads, they don't they do not like him, 388 00:20:36,897 --> 00:20:39,897 Speaker 1: like it's just it's just an instinctive thing. They don't 389 00:20:40,257 --> 00:20:43,897 Speaker 1: like him. And the abortion thing is really, really, really 390 00:20:43,977 --> 00:20:46,417 Speaker 1: hurt Republicans, and it hurt them. If you look at 391 00:20:46,497 --> 00:20:48,977 Speaker 1: the overall map of the country, there was a red wave. 392 00:20:49,297 --> 00:20:52,977 Speaker 1: Blue districts got redder, red districts got redder. It was 393 00:20:53,057 --> 00:20:56,617 Speaker 1: the suburban, middle class counties that care enormously about the 394 00:20:56,657 --> 00:20:59,897 Speaker 1: issues of like democracy and the issues of abortion. That 395 00:21:00,097 --> 00:21:03,097 Speaker 1: were the ones that moved bluer and that's where all 396 00:21:03,137 --> 00:21:05,177 Speaker 1: our swing districts were, and that's where we lost them. 397 00:21:05,537 --> 00:21:07,577 Speaker 1: So and it didn't help that the map wasn't really 398 00:21:07,577 --> 00:21:09,257 Speaker 1: favorable to us and all the other all the rest 399 00:21:09,297 --> 00:21:11,177 Speaker 1: of it. But that's why we lost the Senate candidates 400 00:21:11,177 --> 00:21:13,137 Speaker 1: we lost, That's why we lost the governor candiates that 401 00:21:13,217 --> 00:21:18,257 Speaker 1: we lost. And you know, there is a lack of 402 00:21:18,977 --> 00:21:23,817 Speaker 1: there is a lack of temperate. Temperate. Sorry. The way 403 00:21:23,857 --> 00:21:26,657 Speaker 1: that Trump has been approaching a lot of these issues 404 00:21:27,017 --> 00:21:28,977 Speaker 1: is cho vi chuck. But I will tell you you 405 00:21:29,017 --> 00:21:31,457 Speaker 1: asked before how he can sit there and maybe gain 406 00:21:31,537 --> 00:21:34,377 Speaker 1: some ground. Trump is already running a general election campaign. 407 00:21:34,417 --> 00:21:38,457 Speaker 1: When he dropped abortion restrictions as part of his platform, 408 00:21:38,657 --> 00:21:40,297 Speaker 1: which was like a last week where he said he 409 00:21:40,337 --> 00:21:43,537 Speaker 1: would not support any restrictions on federal level of abortion, I, 410 00:21:43,617 --> 00:21:46,657 Speaker 1: by the way, think is a smart move that shows 411 00:21:46,697 --> 00:21:51,057 Speaker 1: he's triangulating towards the general election candidate. And I'm sure 412 00:21:51,057 --> 00:21:52,857 Speaker 1: there's a bunch of other issues. The one thing that 413 00:21:52,897 --> 00:21:55,377 Speaker 1: he will never move on is publicly acknowledging the election 414 00:21:55,537 --> 00:22:00,417 Speaker 1: was stolen and for a lot of people, Trump is 415 00:22:00,897 --> 00:22:04,137 Speaker 1: running as if he was never president before. He's saying 416 00:22:04,177 --> 00:22:05,457 Speaker 1: I'm going to do this, and I'm going to do that. 417 00:22:05,497 --> 00:22:08,657 Speaker 1: I'm gonna do this, I'm gonna do that. Dude, you 418 00:22:08,737 --> 00:22:10,297 Speaker 1: didn't do any of it the first time. He moved 419 00:22:10,337 --> 00:22:14,137 Speaker 1: in embassy like congratulations, like cut corporation taxes, and he 420 00:22:14,217 --> 00:22:17,017 Speaker 1: moved to embassy like no offense. But I kind of 421 00:22:17,177 --> 00:22:19,777 Speaker 1: don't think you're going to do this again. 422 00:22:20,137 --> 00:22:21,537 Speaker 2: So this is just I mean, I wish, you know, 423 00:22:21,737 --> 00:22:25,937 Speaker 2: I honestly kind of want to do like Gurdusky fields, 424 00:22:25,977 --> 00:22:28,497 Speaker 2: the phone calls that I get talking about this on radio, 425 00:22:28,657 --> 00:22:33,017 Speaker 2: because I'll just have some people, you know, listeners, or 426 00:22:33,057 --> 00:22:35,337 Speaker 2: maybe they're just deciding to troll me for the one 427 00:22:35,377 --> 00:22:38,537 Speaker 2: time they're calling in. I don't know, but they'll say 428 00:22:38,617 --> 00:22:42,177 Speaker 2: things like I'm voting for Trump again because he kept 429 00:22:42,217 --> 00:22:44,137 Speaker 2: all of his promises and got everything done that he 430 00:22:44,177 --> 00:22:49,097 Speaker 2: said he was going to get done, and for you. 431 00:22:49,497 --> 00:22:53,857 Speaker 2: I mean, I don't know how. I don't really know 432 00:22:53,977 --> 00:22:57,257 Speaker 2: what to say to that, because it doesn't matter, because 433 00:22:57,257 --> 00:23:00,657 Speaker 2: it's clear that it wouldn't matter. And and and then 434 00:23:00,697 --> 00:23:02,657 Speaker 2: I say to them, I voted for Trump twice. I 435 00:23:02,777 --> 00:23:05,417 Speaker 2: thought overall, you know, he did he did well as 436 00:23:05,497 --> 00:23:08,577 Speaker 2: as president and obviously voted for me against Joe Biden. No, 437 00:23:08,897 --> 00:23:11,257 Speaker 2: it doesn't matter, I have to agree with all this 438 00:23:11,417 --> 00:23:14,377 Speaker 2: other stuff or else. There's like a sense of betrayal, 439 00:23:15,097 --> 00:23:17,457 Speaker 2: like how could you be you know, I mean, I'm 440 00:23:17,457 --> 00:23:20,457 Speaker 2: supposed to I'm supposed to say. I'm supposed to say 441 00:23:20,497 --> 00:23:23,457 Speaker 2: that Florida sucks, the wall was built. You know, these 442 00:23:23,497 --> 00:23:25,897 Speaker 2: are things I'm supposed to say or else. There are 443 00:23:25,937 --> 00:23:27,937 Speaker 2: some people, maybe it's a small part, but they get 444 00:23:28,057 --> 00:23:31,777 Speaker 2: mad at me, and I don't really know what I 445 00:23:31,897 --> 00:23:33,857 Speaker 2: can say to them. I don't really know how to 446 00:23:35,017 --> 00:23:37,257 Speaker 2: I get a little flabbergasted by it. 447 00:23:37,377 --> 00:23:40,377 Speaker 1: I guess, well, I'm not out for a popularity kind 448 00:23:40,417 --> 00:23:41,697 Speaker 1: of Some don't care if they get mad at me, 449 00:23:41,777 --> 00:23:43,697 Speaker 1: but the point is, and they can troll me all 450 00:23:43,817 --> 00:23:46,057 Speaker 1: day on Twitter. I don't do the comments, so I 451 00:23:46,297 --> 00:23:49,737 Speaker 1: just listen never. There are a ton of people in 452 00:23:49,897 --> 00:23:52,257 Speaker 1: the media, and I go on the media a lot, 453 00:23:52,377 --> 00:23:54,697 Speaker 1: so I can consider myself part of conservative media. But 454 00:23:54,897 --> 00:23:57,057 Speaker 1: a lot of people who openly lie the viewers, and 455 00:23:57,097 --> 00:23:59,177 Speaker 1: a lot of them every single solitary day. They're paid 456 00:23:59,217 --> 00:24:01,937 Speaker 1: to lie. A lot of them are paid by campaigns 457 00:24:02,017 --> 00:24:06,057 Speaker 1: secretly or organizations that are supported by campaigns. It's a lie, 458 00:24:06,257 --> 00:24:09,937 Speaker 1: straightforward to lie every single solitary day. Some believe the 459 00:24:10,137 --> 00:24:12,257 Speaker 1: live but most do not. And at the end of 460 00:24:12,257 --> 00:24:14,457 Speaker 1: the day, my consciousness there and says, Okay, if there's 461 00:24:14,617 --> 00:24:17,337 Speaker 1: there's a wall built, how are all these migrants across 462 00:24:17,457 --> 00:24:20,497 Speaker 1: on the wall? Where? How are how are where? We 463 00:24:20,657 --> 00:24:23,817 Speaker 1: see tons of video footage of migrants walking across the border? 464 00:24:23,857 --> 00:24:25,977 Speaker 1: Why are they being stopped by that wall that Trump built? 465 00:24:27,977 --> 00:24:30,977 Speaker 1: And he built fifteen miles, which is okay, better than nothing. 466 00:24:31,417 --> 00:24:34,737 Speaker 1: But if conquer stuff in the fifteen miles built, or. 467 00:24:34,777 --> 00:24:35,497 Speaker 2: Did he not try? 468 00:24:36,577 --> 00:24:39,537 Speaker 1: Why did he? Why did why? Why did Donald Trump 469 00:24:39,937 --> 00:24:42,537 Speaker 1: push most of his most of his politics to his 470 00:24:42,657 --> 00:24:44,537 Speaker 1: Democrats on the law only? 471 00:24:46,017 --> 00:24:52,497 Speaker 2: Could I could I get somebody who is all all 472 00:24:52,577 --> 00:24:55,537 Speaker 2: in on Trump on the other side already? 473 00:24:56,177 --> 00:24:56,297 Speaker 1: Right? 474 00:24:56,817 --> 00:24:58,977 Speaker 2: Can I try to I want to moderate a Could 475 00:24:58,977 --> 00:25:01,977 Speaker 2: we do like a show where I will moderate between 476 00:25:02,017 --> 00:25:02,297 Speaker 2: you two? 477 00:25:02,737 --> 00:25:05,337 Speaker 1: Let's do it? Yeah, listen, And I don't come at 478 00:25:05,377 --> 00:25:07,937 Speaker 1: this as some I'm not Bill Crystal, I'm not you know, 479 00:25:08,377 --> 00:25:10,977 Speaker 1: Cindy McCain. I voted for Donald Trump every time he 480 00:25:11,097 --> 00:25:12,857 Speaker 1: was on the ballot. The day he came down that 481 00:25:12,937 --> 00:25:16,177 Speaker 1: golden escalator. I said, he's my guy, like a lot 482 00:25:16,257 --> 00:25:18,017 Speaker 1: of people. But like a lot of people who came 483 00:25:18,137 --> 00:25:22,057 Speaker 1: to Trump to support him, I didn't support him because 484 00:25:22,097 --> 00:25:24,377 Speaker 1: he was on the Apprentice. I didn't support him because 485 00:25:24,817 --> 00:25:27,217 Speaker 1: you know he was going to tell McConnell f himself 486 00:25:27,257 --> 00:25:29,217 Speaker 1: and act like an asshole on Twitter. Scuse my nuage. 487 00:25:29,537 --> 00:25:31,537 Speaker 1: I'm not gonna. I wasn't. I didn't support I support 488 00:25:31,617 --> 00:25:34,857 Speaker 1: him because he said our country is fundamentally broken by 489 00:25:34,897 --> 00:25:37,937 Speaker 1: our elite, which I still agree with. I still agree 490 00:25:37,977 --> 00:25:40,577 Speaker 1: with every policy he put forward. In twenty sixteen, I 491 00:25:40,737 --> 00:25:43,897 Speaker 1: voted for him to be president, and very few of 492 00:25:44,017 --> 00:25:47,937 Speaker 1: those policies ever got accomplished. And it's not because the 493 00:25:48,097 --> 00:25:51,457 Speaker 1: chance wasn't there. It was that we didn't have a 494 00:25:51,577 --> 00:25:54,017 Speaker 1: leader who even exercised that chance. And let me give 495 00:25:54,017 --> 00:25:56,497 Speaker 1: you one little example. He could not get the raz 496 00:25:56,537 --> 00:25:58,817 Speaker 1: Act done, the Raiz Act, which would have altered our 497 00:25:58,857 --> 00:26:02,097 Speaker 1: immigration policy fundamentally for the better. He could not get 498 00:26:02,137 --> 00:26:04,417 Speaker 1: Republicans to sign on to it, or Democrats is when 499 00:26:04,457 --> 00:26:06,977 Speaker 1: they had the majority in both houses. So you know 500 00:26:06,977 --> 00:26:08,377 Speaker 1: what he should have done. He should have sat there 501 00:26:08,377 --> 00:26:10,777 Speaker 1: to say, Nancy Postio, Mitch McConnell the resident has the 502 00:26:10,977 --> 00:26:15,297 Speaker 1: sole authority to withhold any class or any single immigrant 503 00:26:15,377 --> 00:26:18,017 Speaker 1: that they want to on their own. Latterly, if Trump 504 00:26:18,137 --> 00:26:21,457 Speaker 1: called President Day, if Biden said, guess what, guys, no 505 00:26:21,577 --> 00:26:24,897 Speaker 1: more redheads in this country, he has unilateral authority. No 506 00:26:25,057 --> 00:26:28,217 Speaker 1: one can tell him no. Trump had that authority. You 507 00:26:28,257 --> 00:26:30,017 Speaker 1: know what he was doing. He was meeting with Jeff Bezos, 508 00:26:30,057 --> 00:26:31,857 Speaker 1: saying how Jeff Bezos needs more immigrants. 509 00:26:32,137 --> 00:26:36,657 Speaker 2: So hold on it, yeah, hold on a second.

I don't want I 525 00:27:27,097 --> 00:27:29,777 Speaker 1: think I want to estimate this way though. Look, we 526 00:27:30,177 --> 00:27:33,697 Speaker 1: Joe Biden has a very real chance of picking Alito 527 00:27:33,817 --> 00:27:37,017 Speaker 1: and Clarence's replacements, Clarence Thomas's replacements on the Supreme Court. 528 00:27:37,057 --> 00:27:40,537 Speaker 1: There's a very real chance that that could happen in 529 00:27:40,577 --> 00:27:43,897 Speaker 1: our future. And we have nine Democrats in swing to 530 00:27:44,017 --> 00:27:46,057 Speaker 1: swing states, and the US sent it up for a 531 00:27:46,137 --> 00:27:49,137 Speaker 1: vote in twenty twenty four. We can't screw around. This 532 00:27:49,257 --> 00:27:51,777 Speaker 1: isn't for you know, shits and giggles.

What has to happen? 580 00:30:04,097 --> 00:30:06,937 Speaker 1: I think that I think the Republicans need to accept 581 00:30:07,017 --> 00:30:10,377 Speaker 1: certain fundamental truths, one of which is, even we had 582 00:30:10,417 --> 00:30:12,657 Speaker 1: sixty United State centers, we're not going to ban abortion 583 00:30:12,817 --> 00:30:16,577 Speaker 1: nationwide and all fighting on a federal level. Abortion it's 584 00:30:16,577 --> 00:30:18,977 Speaker 1: still the planned pattern of fund and it is we 585 00:30:19,017 --> 00:30:20,937 Speaker 1: should leave it to the states and just walk away 586 00:30:20,977 --> 00:30:24,617 Speaker 1: from that fight altogether. It's never going to happen. To 587 00:30:25,017 --> 00:30:28,657 Speaker 1: fight hard for something that you can win is totally acceptable. 588 00:30:28,857 --> 00:30:31,737 Speaker 1: To fight for something hard and possibly lose for something 589 00:30:31,777 --> 00:30:35,817 Speaker 1: you cannot win circumstands is a mistake. I think states 590 00:30:35,817 --> 00:30:37,257 Speaker 1: should be a should be left up to states, and 591 00:30:37,297 --> 00:30:42,297 Speaker 1: states should decide, says one. Two. You got to just 592 00:30:42,377 --> 00:30:45,817 Speaker 1: walk away from the whole twenty twenty conversation entirely not important. 593 00:30:46,137 --> 00:30:49,977 Speaker 1: Talking about really living January sixth not important. What's important 594 00:30:50,137 --> 00:30:52,817 Speaker 1: is not the children a woman may have. It's not 595 00:30:53,697 --> 00:30:56,177 Speaker 1: It's not conversations on things people did at the capital 596 00:30:56,537 --> 00:30:59,657 Speaker 1: three years ago. The conversation is what's going on for 597 00:30:59,777 --> 00:31:02,337 Speaker 1: that kid in a classroom today who has that experience 598 00:31:02,377 --> 00:31:05,177 Speaker 1: of massive learning loss, who is more likely if they 599 00:31:05,217 --> 00:31:07,017 Speaker 1: are black, and more likely to die now than they 600 00:31:07,057 --> 00:31:11,857 Speaker 1: work before twenty seventeen. The somebody that's like Chicago, Philadelphia 601 00:31:11,857 --> 00:31:15,217 Speaker 1: and Baltimore and Louisiana, New Orleans. What are we going 602 00:31:15,257 --> 00:31:18,457 Speaker 1: to sit there and have a real conversation about how 603 00:31:18,977 --> 00:31:21,017 Speaker 1: how are we going to prevent like another COVID from happening? 604 00:31:21,577 --> 00:31:23,937 Speaker 1: You know, everything Trump ever said in twenty sixteen was 605 00:31:24,057 --> 00:31:26,977 Speaker 1: true about how we don't have a manufacturing based in 606 00:31:27,017 --> 00:31:29,017 Speaker 1: this country and we still don't have one, and the 607 00:31:29,177 --> 00:31:31,377 Speaker 1: job the manufacturing jobs that did come back under Trump 608 00:31:31,417 --> 00:31:33,657 Speaker 1: didn't come back to the Midwest. They came back to Arizona, 609 00:31:33,737 --> 00:31:36,657 Speaker 1: to Nevada, to California, to Texas, to Florida. They didn't 610 00:31:36,697 --> 00:31:38,457 Speaker 1: come back to the rost beels. How are we actually 611 00:31:38,497 --> 00:31:41,617 Speaker 1: going to make a real positive investment in places that 612 00:31:41,777 --> 00:31:44,657 Speaker 1: people are just leaving and how are we going to 613 00:31:44,697 --> 00:31:47,057 Speaker 1: make those How is the federal government the same federal 614 00:31:47,097 --> 00:31:50,577 Speaker 1: government that killed those places by putting China into into 615 00:31:50,777 --> 00:31:53,777 Speaker 1: the free trade to the World Trade Organization and giving 616 00:31:53,857 --> 00:31:55,977 Speaker 1: free trade to China? How are we going to reinstate 617 00:31:56,017 --> 00:31:58,457 Speaker 1: those people's hopes and fears? Those are the kinds of 618 00:31:58,577 --> 00:32:00,777 Speaker 1: conversations that need to be happy, you know, we need 619 00:32:00,857 --> 00:32:02,697 Speaker 1: to have How are we going to protect the border 620 00:32:02,737 --> 00:32:06,057 Speaker 1: and literally thousands of people on the terrast watchers have 621 00:32:06,217 --> 00:32:11,017 Speaker 1: crossed our border. Those those are stations that are serious 622 00:32:11,137 --> 00:32:15,057 Speaker 1: people being in charge of our country as you. 623 00:32:15,177 --> 00:32:16,657 Speaker 2: I want to there's something I want to ask a 624 00:32:16,817 --> 00:32:19,537 Speaker 2: meaning to ask you this again, based on what we 625 00:32:19,617 --> 00:32:23,657 Speaker 2: can see from from the numbers, I'm trying to tell everybody, 626 00:32:23,697 --> 00:32:26,257 Speaker 2: by the way, and this is just having been close 627 00:32:26,377 --> 00:32:29,617 Speaker 2: enough to the Afghanistan issue specifically, uh and you know 628 00:32:29,777 --> 00:32:33,497 Speaker 2: at policy level and everything else being over there, that 629 00:32:33,617 --> 00:32:37,497 Speaker 2: this idea that talking about the disastrous withdrawal from Afghanistan 630 00:32:37,617 --> 00:32:40,857 Speaker 2: is gonna win us votes. I think it's crazy because ultimately, 631 00:32:41,297 --> 00:32:42,617 Speaker 2: and a lot of people don't want to hear this, 632 00:32:42,777 --> 00:32:46,177 Speaker 2: but we're not in Afghanistan anymore. That's the truth. Yeah, 633 00:32:46,297 --> 00:32:49,057 Speaker 2: we're not there, so we can talk about that, the 634 00:32:49,137 --> 00:32:51,177 Speaker 2: withdrawal and it was a mess, and it was you know, 635 00:32:51,217 --> 00:32:52,977 Speaker 2: it was the people in charge look like idiots. Yes, 636 00:32:53,017 --> 00:32:54,937 Speaker 2: all true, but that's not gonna win us the election. 637 00:32:55,137 --> 00:33:00,737 Speaker 2: Right Ukraine? How does Ukraine factor into all this? Do 638 00:33:01,057 --> 00:33:04,497 Speaker 2: people care and if they care enough that it matters 639 00:33:04,577 --> 00:33:07,977 Speaker 2: for the election, what does it look like for us 640 00:33:09,417 --> 00:33:13,657 Speaker 2: to try to use the Ukraine issue in order to show, 641 00:33:13,937 --> 00:33:16,097 Speaker 2: you know, endless war is a bad idea, et cetera. 642 00:33:17,417 --> 00:33:21,097 Speaker 1: Well more important analyst wars our Pentagon has even stated 643 00:33:21,217 --> 00:33:24,657 Speaker 1: we don't have military equipment left anymore given it all 644 00:33:24,737 --> 00:33:28,457 Speaker 1: to Ukraine, Like there's tons of military shortages, military equipment shortages, 645 00:33:28,777 --> 00:33:31,177 Speaker 1: and like here's I think the way to sit there 646 00:33:31,217 --> 00:33:36,217 Speaker 1: and explain it. We borrow money from China, who's Russia's ally, 647 00:33:36,737 --> 00:33:40,337 Speaker 1: to give to Ukraine to fight Russia, so we could 648 00:33:40,377 --> 00:33:43,417 Speaker 1: hit with the debt and the inflation to fight that 649 00:33:43,777 --> 00:33:49,057 Speaker 1: it benefits our major global opponent that we have long 650 00:33:49,177 --> 00:33:52,697 Speaker 1: term problems with than the current one. I think a 651 00:33:52,777 --> 00:33:55,257 Speaker 1: big problem for a lot of people, especially in leadership, 652 00:33:55,297 --> 00:33:57,297 Speaker 1: is they haven't except that the Cold Wars over and 653 00:33:57,497 --> 00:33:59,937 Speaker 1: we want it and it's gone now in Russia is 654 00:34:00,017 --> 00:34:03,817 Speaker 1: not the Soviet Union, and we should be working with 655 00:34:04,297 --> 00:34:07,897 Speaker 1: our allies in other places on a ceasefire, on ending 656 00:34:07,977 --> 00:34:11,097 Speaker 1: the war in some way shape and form, continuating it 657 00:34:11,577 --> 00:34:14,017 Speaker 1: so we can kill as many Russians as possible. But 658 00:34:14,177 --> 00:34:17,577 Speaker 1: ultimately we are at a disadvantage because our military equipment 659 00:34:17,737 --> 00:34:20,177 Speaker 1: is literally at the lowest levels has been in decades, 660 00:34:20,657 --> 00:34:24,777 Speaker 1: and we are doing this at to borrowing the money 661 00:34:24,857 --> 00:34:28,257 Speaker 1: from China to give to Ukraine to fight China's ally 662 00:34:28,697 --> 00:34:31,297 Speaker 1: and tending ourselves more to China and creating more inflation. 663 00:34:31,417 --> 00:34:33,017 Speaker 1: Is that we can't get the money from China, We're 664 00:34:33,097 --> 00:34:36,217 Speaker 1: just printing it. So it's I think I think the 665 00:34:36,377 --> 00:34:38,977 Speaker 1: more the bigger question is is, like you know, we've 666 00:34:38,977 --> 00:34:42,057 Speaker 1: given more money to Ukraine, We've Afghanistan and we still have. 667 00:34:43,697 --> 00:34:44,297 Speaker 2: I've been to like. 668 00:34:44,337 --> 00:34:46,057 Speaker 1: Parts of this country that people talk about that they 669 00:34:46,217 --> 00:34:47,937 Speaker 1: actually go to. I've been to parts of like the 670 00:34:48,177 --> 00:34:50,777 Speaker 1: rough industry Midwest where there was the poddles so large 671 00:34:50,777 --> 00:34:52,977 Speaker 1: it was a mattress. And to stop the bubble like, 672 00:34:53,577 --> 00:34:56,537 Speaker 1: we are spending far more on other people's problems that 673 00:34:56,697 --> 00:35:00,177 Speaker 1: we can't solve and we will ever spend on ourselves. 674 00:35:00,457 --> 00:35:03,257 Speaker 1: And that is a problem for a working class in 675 00:35:03,297 --> 00:35:05,097 Speaker 1: this country and a middle class in this country who 676 00:35:05,097 --> 00:35:07,697 Speaker 1: can't pay for college, who can't find a home, can't 677 00:35:07,697 --> 00:35:09,657 Speaker 1: pay for the down payment of a home. We're getting 678 00:35:09,737 --> 00:35:12,737 Speaker 1: killed with interest rates, long lines for gasoline at times. 679 00:35:13,017 --> 00:35:16,297 Speaker 1: This is the ultimate problem is how are you going? 680 00:35:16,777 --> 00:35:19,537 Speaker 1: What I said before with what Republicans are killing everyone on, 681 00:35:19,857 --> 00:35:22,257 Speaker 1: Democrats on is quality of life issues? How are you 682 00:35:22,417 --> 00:35:25,097 Speaker 1: going to make the quality of life of the average 683 00:35:25,097 --> 00:35:28,697 Speaker 1: American better? And describe it in a way that Bernie 684 00:35:28,737 --> 00:35:31,217 Speaker 1: Sanders describes his Medicare policy, where if you close your 685 00:35:31,257 --> 00:35:33,537 Speaker 1: eyes and you thought about it, you could envision your 686 00:35:33,657 --> 00:35:36,257 Speaker 1: life being better. I think that's the I think going 687 00:35:36,377 --> 00:35:44,337 Speaker 1: back to basics and answer that always great everyone a 688 00:35:44,497 --> 00:35:47,897 Speaker 1: wall you can imagine your life because of X Y Z. 689 00:35:48,457 --> 00:35:50,497 Speaker 1: What is what is the promise of the future. That 690 00:35:50,617 --> 00:35:52,497 Speaker 1: is what the Sanders should be figuring out right now. 691 00:35:52,817 --> 00:35:54,577 Speaker 1: That is what Trump should be working on right now 692 00:35:55,897 --> 00:35:58,417 Speaker 1: and moving forward into twenty twenty four. 693 00:35:58,977 --> 00:36:01,377 Speaker 2: If the people running the Biden campaign had any smarts, 694 00:36:01,417 --> 00:36:04,177 Speaker 2: they'd be quick to subscribe to Chalk's Male Vitality Stack. 695 00:36:04,457 --> 00:36:07,697 Speaker 2: Would that campaign benefit from the testosterone replenishment, sure would. 696 00:36:07,857 --> 00:36:09,497 Speaker 2: Would they have the energy to get through a day, 697 00:36:10,137 --> 00:36:13,377 Speaker 2: a week, a month. Maybe, well, not even with the 698 00:36:13,417 --> 00:36:15,217 Speaker 2: strength and focus that comes with Chalk, I think with 699 00:36:15,297 --> 00:36:17,817 Speaker 2: this Biden White House.

Is there any place we could 724 00:37:29,057 --> 00:37:31,217 Speaker 2: pick up a seat where it'll really piss the Democrats off? 725 00:37:31,217 --> 00:37:32,297 Speaker 2: Because that's always exciting. 726 00:37:32,697 --> 00:37:34,657 Speaker 1: I mean, yeah, we have the chance of Arizona because 727 00:37:34,857 --> 00:37:37,137 Speaker 1: kitchen center rings an independent. You have West Virginia, you 728 00:37:37,257 --> 00:37:40,337 Speaker 1: have Ohio, you have Montana, you have Nevada, where the 729 00:37:40,577 --> 00:37:42,657 Speaker 1: Democrat this time is even less pumper than the government 730 00:37:42,697 --> 00:37:46,457 Speaker 1: Democrat last time. You don't have Georgia this time. I 731 00:37:46,497 --> 00:37:50,057 Speaker 1: think it's in twenty six but you do. You have 732 00:37:50,097 --> 00:37:50,777 Speaker 1: a ton of places. 733 00:37:50,817 --> 00:37:53,617 Speaker 2: There's like that's five, Arizona is kind of what I mean, 734 00:37:53,977 --> 00:37:57,097 Speaker 2: Arizona would be like that would be a morale win too, 735 00:37:57,177 --> 00:37:58,697 Speaker 2: you know what I mean, to pick up a Senate 736 00:37:58,817 --> 00:37:59,457 Speaker 2: Yeah there, I was. 737 00:37:59,537 --> 00:38:01,457 Speaker 1: Just there for school board stuff. Yeah, it would be 738 00:38:01,537 --> 00:38:04,337 Speaker 1: a huge win. And it's totally possible. And I think 739 00:38:04,417 --> 00:38:07,177 Speaker 1: cinema hates the Democrats more than shades the Republicans, so 740 00:38:07,497 --> 00:38:09,137 Speaker 1: we have always be huge And I think that there's 741 00:38:09,137 --> 00:38:12,217 Speaker 1: other by Hampshire's up to which would be a huge win. 742 00:38:12,257 --> 00:38:14,617 Speaker 1: We haven't had to win there in since twenty sixteen, 743 00:38:14,977 --> 00:38:17,457 Speaker 1: as when we lost our Senate seat. There wasn't that 744 00:38:17,617 --> 00:38:21,097 Speaker 1: long ago. Pennsylvania is up, it was a tougher, tougher road. 745 00:38:21,217 --> 00:38:23,377 Speaker 1: Michigan is an open seat. That would be great if 746 00:38:23,377 --> 00:38:28,417 Speaker 1: it's possible. Wisconsin is up, I believe as well. So 747 00:38:28,737 --> 00:38:32,097 Speaker 1: there's there's nine states right there that are swing states, 748 00:38:32,337 --> 00:38:34,177 Speaker 1: red states that if you have a red weave with 749 00:38:34,297 --> 00:38:38,097 Speaker 1: a president who's remarkably unpopular, as long as you don't 750 00:38:38,137 --> 00:38:42,377 Speaker 1: run anybody who's even less unpopular. You know, even in 751 00:38:42,417 --> 00:38:45,217 Speaker 1: twenty eighteen we picked up Senate seats, so it's totally 752 00:38:45,257 --> 00:38:48,057 Speaker 1: possible we had a net game for three sentence seats 753 00:38:48,097 --> 00:38:49,737 Speaker 1: I believe it was, and there were two sentence seats 754 00:38:49,737 --> 00:38:50,137 Speaker 1: in the Senate. 755 00:38:50,617 --> 00:38:54,257 Speaker 2: I'll take I'll take this closing happy meal from Gradusky 756 00:38:54,337 --> 00:38:58,097 Speaker 2: here gratefully and not ask him any more questions.

However, looking 759 00:39:04,017 --> 00:39:06,217 Speaker 2: good for us, folks. So take that one home with you, 760 00:39:06,377 --> 00:39:08,697 Speaker 2: and you know it's those better days ahead.
