1 00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:03,360 Speaker 1: Welcome to today's edition of the Clay Travis and buck 2 00:00:03,400 --> 00:00:08,640 Speaker 1: Sexton Show podcast. Welcome in our number three Clay Travis 3 00:00:08,640 --> 00:00:15,480 Speaker 1: buck Sexton Show Tuesday addition, New Hampshire Primary edition. New 4 00:00:15,480 --> 00:00:18,520 Speaker 1: Hampshire heites listening to this program right now can go 5 00:00:18,640 --> 00:00:21,360 Speaker 1: out and vote in their primary. We encourage as many 6 00:00:21,360 --> 00:00:23,959 Speaker 1: of you as possible to do so, let your voices 7 00:00:24,040 --> 00:00:29,400 Speaker 1: be heard. Only two remaining contenders in the Republican side 8 00:00:29,480 --> 00:00:33,080 Speaker 1: of that race, Donald Trump and Nikki Haley. On the 9 00:00:33,120 --> 00:00:37,440 Speaker 1: Democrat side, I think Marion Williamson, Dean Phillips and Joe 10 00:00:37,479 --> 00:00:40,280 Speaker 1: Biden is a right end candidate because Joe Biden decided 11 00:00:40,280 --> 00:00:43,199 Speaker 1: he didn't want New Hampshire to have primacy in the 12 00:00:43,240 --> 00:00:47,960 Speaker 1: Democrat Party anymore because overwhelmingly voters did not like him 13 00:00:48,000 --> 00:00:53,960 Speaker 1: in New Hampshire. But as a result, we are starting 14 00:00:54,000 --> 00:00:56,680 Speaker 1: to granted staters. Did I say New Hampshire Heights, I 15 00:00:56,680 --> 00:00:59,959 Speaker 1: apologize I can. Eventually we'll get that right granted state 16 00:01:00,240 --> 00:01:04,200 Speaker 1: with an opportunity to go out and make their voices heard. Now, 17 00:01:04,240 --> 00:01:06,440 Speaker 1: we started off the show talking about this, but I 18 00:01:06,480 --> 00:01:09,000 Speaker 1: do think it's the question of the day, and it 19 00:01:09,080 --> 00:01:11,600 Speaker 1: is this, what does Nicki Haley have to do to 20 00:01:11,720 --> 00:01:17,840 Speaker 1: maintain her candidacy in any way, going forward, expectations are 21 00:01:18,280 --> 00:01:22,039 Speaker 1: Trump is up around twenty points in the most recent poll. 22 00:01:22,080 --> 00:01:23,480 Speaker 1: And by the way, Buck, I wanted to hit you 23 00:01:23,520 --> 00:01:26,200 Speaker 1: with this because as we went to break, we talked 24 00:01:26,200 --> 00:01:30,240 Speaker 1: about the right now odds market for who will be 25 00:01:30,280 --> 00:01:35,000 Speaker 1: elected President. Trump is the favorite right now in the 26 00:01:35,319 --> 00:01:39,840 Speaker 1: presidential odds markets. Joe Biden is in second place. Michelle 27 00:01:39,840 --> 00:01:44,399 Speaker 1: Obama is in fact the third most likely candidate according 28 00:01:44,440 --> 00:01:46,640 Speaker 1: to the odds market, to be the twenty twenty four 29 00:01:46,720 --> 00:01:50,480 Speaker 1: president of the United States. Nicki Haley is fourth, Gavin 30 00:01:50,560 --> 00:01:55,720 Speaker 1: Newsom is fifth, RFK Junior six, Kamala Harris seven, Dean 31 00:01:55,800 --> 00:02:00,760 Speaker 1: Phillips eight, Ron DeSantis nine. Those are the top nine 32 00:02:00,920 --> 00:02:04,800 Speaker 1: contenders according to the odds market right now, with both 33 00:02:04,800 --> 00:02:08,880 Speaker 1: the Trump and Biden's substantial favorites, but Michelle Obama a 34 00:02:09,040 --> 00:02:15,440 Speaker 1: clear and basically unchallenged third in the presidential odds markets 35 00:02:15,520 --> 00:02:18,560 Speaker 1: as we speak right now. So there are a lot 36 00:02:18,600 --> 00:02:22,640 Speaker 1: of people that are buying into my theory that Biden 37 00:02:22,720 --> 00:02:25,519 Speaker 1: is going to be forced out and Michelle Obama will 38 00:02:25,560 --> 00:02:28,800 Speaker 1: become the Democrat nominee in twenty twenty four. We'll have 39 00:02:28,880 --> 00:02:32,560 Speaker 1: months to talk about that, because the Democrat convention is 40 00:02:32,600 --> 00:02:37,440 Speaker 1: not until August. The Republican convention is in July. But 41 00:02:37,840 --> 00:02:40,960 Speaker 1: to me, Nicki Haley has to make a real decision 42 00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:45,840 Speaker 1: buck does she want to go as hard as she 43 00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:48,840 Speaker 1: possibly can? In fact, there's an editorial in the Wall 44 00:02:48,840 --> 00:02:53,000 Speaker 1: Street Journal this morning making this exact argument. And the 45 00:02:53,400 --> 00:02:57,280 Speaker 1: question is, does Nicky Haley really want to be president 46 00:02:57,400 --> 00:03:01,320 Speaker 1: in twenty twenty four, in which case she's gonna go 47 00:03:01,840 --> 00:03:06,200 Speaker 1: as hard as she possibly can after Donald Trump from 48 00:03:06,240 --> 00:03:11,320 Speaker 1: here on out, or she's gonna basically say, Okay, I'm 49 00:03:11,400 --> 00:03:14,079 Speaker 1: running for twenty twenty eight and I'm gonna drop down. 50 00:03:14,080 --> 00:03:16,799 Speaker 1: And it's an interesting column let me give credit here, 51 00:03:16,880 --> 00:03:20,840 Speaker 1: written by Henry Olsen in the Wall Street Journal this morning. 52 00:03:20,880 --> 00:03:24,519 Speaker 1: He's a senior fellow at the Ethics and Public Policy Center, 53 00:03:25,040 --> 00:03:29,320 Speaker 1: and he said, if Brian Kemp can beat Trump, maybe 54 00:03:29,400 --> 00:03:35,040 Speaker 1: Nicky Haley can. Difference obviously very substantial here is that 55 00:03:35,480 --> 00:03:39,360 Speaker 1: Donald Trump didn't actually run against Brian Kemp. Donald Trump 56 00:03:39,480 --> 00:03:44,880 Speaker 1: endorsed a Georgia gobernatorial candidate against Trump. And then everybody 57 00:03:45,040 --> 00:03:49,240 Speaker 1: remember Brian Kemp won by fifty points in that battle 58 00:03:49,360 --> 00:03:52,520 Speaker 1: of the Republican primary, and actually, I think it's solidified 59 00:03:52,520 --> 00:03:55,120 Speaker 1: Brian Kemp to go on and beat Stacy Abrams by 60 00:03:55,560 --> 00:03:56,000 Speaker 1: seven and a. 61 00:03:56,000 --> 00:03:57,360 Speaker 2: Half or eight points. 62 00:03:57,680 --> 00:04:01,760 Speaker 1: Nicky Haley's actually running against Trump, but she's in a 63 00:04:01,880 --> 00:04:06,280 Speaker 1: one v one battle. If she really wants to be president, 64 00:04:07,080 --> 00:04:10,560 Speaker 1: she has to get as nasty as she possibly can 65 00:04:10,680 --> 00:04:13,680 Speaker 1: against Trump. I don't think she's willing to do it, Buck. 66 00:04:14,280 --> 00:04:17,359 Speaker 1: I think her probability of winning is very low. But 67 00:04:17,440 --> 00:04:20,120 Speaker 1: I think it would require that she go after Trump 68 00:04:20,120 --> 00:04:23,159 Speaker 1: in a way where there could be a lasting impact 69 00:04:23,279 --> 00:04:26,279 Speaker 1: for her political future, and I don't think she is 70 00:04:26,320 --> 00:04:27,839 Speaker 1: going to do it. I think she's going to bow 71 00:04:27,920 --> 00:04:30,920 Speaker 1: out after she loses by fifteen or twenty points tonight 72 00:04:31,400 --> 00:04:33,960 Speaker 1: and try to preserve her ability to run in twenty eight. 73 00:04:34,920 --> 00:04:37,360 Speaker 2: Yes, she is not going to make it to South 74 00:04:37,400 --> 00:04:40,040 Speaker 2: Carolina because that would be humiliating to lose in her 75 00:04:40,040 --> 00:04:44,719 Speaker 2: home state. The numbers are all Remember when we say, 76 00:04:44,800 --> 00:04:48,799 Speaker 2: you know, there's polls and then there's polls. When someone 77 00:04:48,880 --> 00:04:50,719 Speaker 2: is up in the polls, we usually think of it 78 00:04:50,760 --> 00:04:55,040 Speaker 2: as four percent, eight, ten, twelve, whatever. Trump is up 79 00:04:55,040 --> 00:04:57,799 Speaker 2: in some of these places by twenty or thirty points. 80 00:04:57,920 --> 00:05:03,080 Speaker 2: I mean it's it's fifty points, it's not even remotely close. 81 00:05:03,839 --> 00:05:08,160 Speaker 2: So uh, there's there's really not I think anything that 82 00:05:08,240 --> 00:05:10,920 Speaker 2: remains to be seen here in terms of what's likely 83 00:05:11,000 --> 00:05:13,360 Speaker 2: to what's likely to happen in most of the States. 84 00:05:14,279 --> 00:05:16,120 Speaker 2: So yeah, I think Nikki Haley does her best in 85 00:05:16,160 --> 00:05:18,400 Speaker 2: New Hampshire and tries to keep it as close as 86 00:05:18,440 --> 00:05:20,839 Speaker 2: she can, and then she probably goes on for a 87 00:05:20,880 --> 00:05:23,240 Speaker 2: few more weeks and I I would guess that she'll 88 00:05:23,240 --> 00:05:26,640 Speaker 2: be out within two weeks. She'll she'll suspend her campaign. 89 00:05:26,880 --> 00:05:29,280 Speaker 2: She did work for Trump as US Ambassador to the 90 00:05:29,320 --> 00:05:34,440 Speaker 2: United Nations. You know, it's not really like it's not 91 00:05:34,480 --> 00:05:37,760 Speaker 2: a job that I think is particularly high up on 92 00:05:37,800 --> 00:05:40,000 Speaker 2: the on the important scale. To be honest with you, 93 00:05:40,080 --> 00:05:43,440 Speaker 2: it's a pretty uh it's it's a lot of cocktail 94 00:05:43,720 --> 00:05:45,040 Speaker 2: and prepared. 95 00:05:44,800 --> 00:05:48,839 Speaker 1: Ceremonial more than it's like executive based. Right, Yeah, you're 96 00:05:48,920 --> 00:05:51,760 Speaker 1: you're you're kind of just like on the uh, on 97 00:05:51,920 --> 00:05:55,480 Speaker 1: the champagne and cappuccino circuit in New York. I mean, 98 00:05:55,520 --> 00:05:57,359 Speaker 1: you're not really doing anything of any substance. 99 00:05:57,800 --> 00:06:01,320 Speaker 2: So anyway, she did work for Trump though, and there's that, 100 00:06:01,800 --> 00:06:03,920 Speaker 2: and I think that she'll want to work with him 101 00:06:04,200 --> 00:06:07,440 Speaker 2: while he's assuming he wins while he's president, and then 102 00:06:07,480 --> 00:06:09,919 Speaker 2: she'll run again at some point in the future. But 103 00:06:10,000 --> 00:06:12,480 Speaker 2: I think that the fundamental problem that Nicki Haley has 104 00:06:12,480 --> 00:06:17,680 Speaker 2: more than anything else is that she's trying to run 105 00:06:18,400 --> 00:06:22,320 Speaker 2: as a GOP candidate from the Bush era in a 106 00:06:22,320 --> 00:06:24,920 Speaker 2: lot of ways. I mean a lot of her positions, 107 00:06:25,080 --> 00:06:27,839 Speaker 2: the things that she says that and I just think 108 00:06:27,839 --> 00:06:30,479 Speaker 2: that that's too hard of a turn right now for 109 00:06:30,600 --> 00:06:35,280 Speaker 2: the Republican Party to go away from the more populist 110 00:06:35,320 --> 00:06:38,960 Speaker 2: America first positioning to go toward. Do you know what 111 00:06:39,040 --> 00:06:41,200 Speaker 2: I mean to go toward? I mean Nicki Haley could 112 00:06:41,279 --> 00:06:45,320 Speaker 2: very easily have been Bush's Secretary of State in two 113 00:06:45,400 --> 00:06:47,520 Speaker 2: thousand and two or something. I mean, that's the way 114 00:06:47,560 --> 00:06:50,320 Speaker 2: she sounds when she speaks about these issues. I don't 115 00:06:50,320 --> 00:06:52,360 Speaker 2: know if you're if you're in agreement with me on 116 00:06:52,400 --> 00:06:55,479 Speaker 2: this Nicki Haley. 117 00:06:55,600 --> 00:06:58,279 Speaker 1: I was reading the front page New York Times yesterday, 118 00:06:58,360 --> 00:07:01,719 Speaker 1: and I think I mentioned this a bit in yesterday's show. 119 00:07:02,360 --> 00:07:04,679 Speaker 1: It's a big deep dive on the fact that Nicki 120 00:07:04,760 --> 00:07:10,240 Speaker 1: Haley really never had success in life outside of politics. 121 00:07:10,960 --> 00:07:11,720 Speaker 3: She was. 122 00:07:13,080 --> 00:07:17,280 Speaker 1: Not really making much of a living. I'm not begrudging 123 00:07:17,320 --> 00:07:20,720 Speaker 1: anybody on the struggles that they might have to take 124 00:07:20,720 --> 00:07:21,600 Speaker 1: care of their family. 125 00:07:21,680 --> 00:07:23,560 Speaker 2: You and I have both, can I just I don't 126 00:07:23,560 --> 00:07:27,000 Speaker 2: want to like disrupt. You were a writer for a 127 00:07:27,000 --> 00:07:30,800 Speaker 2: website with a wife and three kids supporting that family. 128 00:07:31,400 --> 00:07:35,080 Speaker 2: I was a government employee and then a writer for 129 00:07:35,160 --> 00:07:37,640 Speaker 2: a website. You know, I tweeted this out, like I 130 00:07:37,720 --> 00:07:40,120 Speaker 2: lived in apartments that were three hundred and fifty square 131 00:07:40,160 --> 00:07:42,720 Speaker 2: feet and you barely afforded. Like, we know what it 132 00:07:42,800 --> 00:07:45,400 Speaker 2: is to be in the fight, and so you know, 133 00:07:45,440 --> 00:07:48,080 Speaker 2: we don't begrudge that Nicki Haley had to. You know, 134 00:07:48,640 --> 00:07:51,200 Speaker 2: I was. I've been there. You've been there. It's not easy. 135 00:07:51,400 --> 00:07:55,680 Speaker 1: But but I will say when I saw that she 136 00:07:55,840 --> 00:08:02,040 Speaker 1: made two and a half million dollars off speeches, Yeah, 137 00:08:02,080 --> 00:08:03,080 Speaker 1: you're selling favors. 138 00:08:03,120 --> 00:08:06,520 Speaker 2: That's the perception at some level is you're selling favors. 139 00:08:06,760 --> 00:08:10,480 Speaker 1: Like the reason why I like Trump is he's not 140 00:08:10,560 --> 00:08:13,760 Speaker 1: a career politician. I respect that a lot, not to 141 00:08:13,800 --> 00:08:16,880 Speaker 1: say that there isn't something good about being a career politician. 142 00:08:16,960 --> 00:08:19,720 Speaker 1: Some people are very talented at it. But I like 143 00:08:19,880 --> 00:08:22,760 Speaker 1: people of the Vagromswami I like for the same reason. 144 00:08:23,200 --> 00:08:26,480 Speaker 1: I think if you've made a living outside of being 145 00:08:26,640 --> 00:08:32,640 Speaker 1: a public employee and not traded on your politics, right. 146 00:08:33,679 --> 00:08:36,040 Speaker 1: I read that article two and a half million dollars. 147 00:08:36,080 --> 00:08:38,760 Speaker 1: It just feels, you know, the speech game, like I'm 148 00:08:38,800 --> 00:08:43,000 Speaker 1: doing a speech this weekend, like okay, But when you're 149 00:08:43,040 --> 00:08:47,400 Speaker 1: in politics and somebody's paying you hundreds of thousands of 150 00:08:47,480 --> 00:08:52,800 Speaker 1: dollars to talk for an hour and you're doing that 151 00:08:53,559 --> 00:08:56,400 Speaker 1: and then coming back into politics like it's one thing 152 00:08:56,440 --> 00:08:59,080 Speaker 1: if you're done, like, hey, my political career is over. 153 00:08:59,200 --> 00:09:01,560 Speaker 1: Now I'm going to go out. I'm gonna make money. Okay, 154 00:09:01,640 --> 00:09:02,800 Speaker 1: I understand that speech. 155 00:09:02,840 --> 00:09:05,960 Speaker 2: It's a far way to buy influence. It's hunting by 156 00:09:06,480 --> 00:09:09,240 Speaker 2: your paintings at a certain level. I do, by the way, 157 00:09:09,679 --> 00:09:11,760 Speaker 2: do great paid speeches for anybody out there for a 158 00:09:11,800 --> 00:09:16,000 Speaker 2: public conservative organization. I'm doing one. What I'm going funny, 159 00:09:16,040 --> 00:09:19,320 Speaker 2: So I'm doing a great speech super Bowl weekend. They're 160 00:09:19,400 --> 00:09:21,280 Speaker 2: very smart to get somebody who doesn't care about the 161 00:09:21,280 --> 00:09:23,480 Speaker 2: super Bowl to fly out super Bowl weekend. I know 162 00:09:23,559 --> 00:09:26,000 Speaker 2: you're you're doing a few coming up, including down here 163 00:09:26,000 --> 00:09:30,160 Speaker 2: in Florida. But you know it's not ninety or ninety 164 00:09:30,160 --> 00:09:32,400 Speaker 2: five percent of your income or my income. You know, 165 00:09:32,600 --> 00:09:36,360 Speaker 2: we're not beholden. We're happy to do speeches by the way, 166 00:09:36,720 --> 00:09:40,800 Speaker 2: but we're not beholden. I feel like Garth and Wayne's world. Yeah, 167 00:09:40,840 --> 00:09:42,960 Speaker 2: he's like, we will not bow to any sponsor. And 168 00:09:43,000 --> 00:09:46,840 Speaker 2: he's like covered in in a what is it he's 169 00:09:46,880 --> 00:09:49,280 Speaker 2: covered in, like Adidas gear or something Rebok He's covered 170 00:09:49,280 --> 00:09:51,960 Speaker 2: in Rebock gear. Yeah, we will not bow to any sponsors, 171 00:09:51,960 --> 00:09:54,000 Speaker 2: but we do love highly paid speeches. My point about 172 00:09:54,040 --> 00:09:57,520 Speaker 2: Nikki Haley is when you're making two million dollars for speeches, 173 00:09:57,559 --> 00:10:01,000 Speaker 2: it's because you're also getting paid two hundred her grandest speech. 174 00:10:01,600 --> 00:10:04,920 Speaker 2: And the kind of places that do that are you know, 175 00:10:05,160 --> 00:10:10,480 Speaker 2: Morgan Stanley or a big law firm, and they're buying 176 00:10:10,720 --> 00:10:13,800 Speaker 2: influence and connection to the policy. This is why Hillary 177 00:10:13,840 --> 00:10:17,360 Speaker 2: Clinton made millions and millions of dollars for speeches. It 178 00:10:17,480 --> 00:10:20,040 Speaker 2: was all I want to give her a big check 179 00:10:20,320 --> 00:10:23,679 Speaker 2: before she's the next president of the United States. It's 180 00:10:23,679 --> 00:10:25,360 Speaker 2: not because their speeches were so great. 181 00:10:25,960 --> 00:10:30,240 Speaker 1: Yeah, And so that's why I think Nikki Haley will 182 00:10:30,320 --> 00:10:36,240 Speaker 1: ultimately go quietly if she loses substantially in New Hampshire, 183 00:10:36,240 --> 00:10:39,520 Speaker 1: as I think she will, because she's gonna want to 184 00:10:39,559 --> 00:10:43,920 Speaker 1: preserve the gravy train, and unless she's done with politics 185 00:10:44,600 --> 00:10:47,000 Speaker 1: and buck if she is she'll get a job at CNN, 186 00:10:47,280 --> 00:10:49,640 Speaker 1: and CNN will pay her several million dollars a year, 187 00:10:49,679 --> 00:10:52,640 Speaker 1: even though she's never done television. Or she'll get a 188 00:10:52,720 --> 00:10:57,560 Speaker 1: job at MSNBC and she'll be their relevant, their their 189 00:10:57,640 --> 00:11:01,840 Speaker 1: sort of resident Republican who isn't actually a Republican anymore. 190 00:11:01,960 --> 00:11:04,400 Speaker 1: Like maybe she decides to go to Joe Scarborough route 191 00:11:04,800 --> 00:11:07,760 Speaker 1: and just totally sell out and go into television and 192 00:11:07,800 --> 00:11:10,480 Speaker 1: make millions of dollars, not ever having to work worry 193 00:11:10,520 --> 00:11:14,200 Speaker 1: about running for reelection again. It doesn't feel to me 194 00:11:14,320 --> 00:11:17,800 Speaker 1: like she's gonna do that. But it is a whole 195 00:11:17,800 --> 00:11:20,199 Speaker 1: lot of second though. To be fair, and I think 196 00:11:20,240 --> 00:11:21,720 Speaker 1: we try to be fair. I know we have some 197 00:11:21,800 --> 00:11:23,000 Speaker 1: we have some Nicky Haley fans. 198 00:11:23,400 --> 00:11:26,200 Speaker 2: You know, I was in Nicki Haley territory when I 199 00:11:26,280 --> 00:11:29,800 Speaker 2: was at the Admiral's ninetieth birthday because I was in Charleston, 200 00:11:29,800 --> 00:11:33,640 Speaker 2: South Carolina. A lot of military there, and you know 201 00:11:33,679 --> 00:11:35,679 Speaker 2: there are some Nicky Haley fans and attendance. I can 202 00:11:35,720 --> 00:11:40,200 Speaker 2: tell you, I mean, true legit Nicki Haley top choice 203 00:11:40,240 --> 00:11:41,839 Speaker 2: for them. I've met a few. A lot of them 204 00:11:41,840 --> 00:11:43,920 Speaker 2: were like, I'm gonna vote Trump, but I still like Nikki. 205 00:11:43,920 --> 00:11:46,520 Speaker 2: That was pretty much the that's the South Carolina vibe 206 00:11:46,559 --> 00:11:49,240 Speaker 2: I would say, or the general feeling you get. But 207 00:11:49,280 --> 00:11:51,680 Speaker 2: I did meet people who say, oh, no, Nicki Haley 208 00:11:51,760 --> 00:11:54,959 Speaker 2: is my number one. So to be to be fair, 209 00:11:55,760 --> 00:12:01,360 Speaker 2: is she a neo Khan Bush establishment, because what you're 210 00:12:01,400 --> 00:12:04,319 Speaker 2: talking about is more she's actually just a fake Republican 211 00:12:04,320 --> 00:12:06,560 Speaker 2: and a liberal. I don't know if that's I don't 212 00:12:06,600 --> 00:12:07,319 Speaker 2: think that's. 213 00:12:07,360 --> 00:12:10,280 Speaker 1: Necessarily saying that. I'm saying, I'm nervous that she's just 214 00:12:10,320 --> 00:12:11,280 Speaker 1: gonna chase the money. 215 00:12:11,800 --> 00:12:14,200 Speaker 2: Well, that's what that would mean. When you're talking about 216 00:12:14,200 --> 00:12:16,720 Speaker 2: going at CNN and getting paid big money to be 217 00:12:16,760 --> 00:12:20,520 Speaker 2: a Republican commentator. It means you're you're actually switching teams, 218 00:12:20,520 --> 00:12:22,160 Speaker 2: you know what I'm saying. And that's so you think 219 00:12:22,200 --> 00:12:23,120 Speaker 2: she would switch teams. 220 00:12:24,200 --> 00:12:26,240 Speaker 1: I'm saying, I don't think she would do that, which 221 00:12:26,320 --> 00:12:29,199 Speaker 1: is why I think she's going to meekly go out 222 00:12:29,320 --> 00:12:34,600 Speaker 1: and after she's Yeah, but I'm saying, if she kept 223 00:12:34,600 --> 00:12:38,000 Speaker 1: the fight going, it would suggest to me that she 224 00:12:38,240 --> 00:12:43,040 Speaker 1: was willing to go the MSNBC or CNN route because 225 00:12:43,320 --> 00:12:46,160 Speaker 1: there is no way for her to win, And so 226 00:12:47,360 --> 00:12:51,560 Speaker 1: being fervently anti Trump is not a pathway to get 227 00:12:51,559 --> 00:12:54,400 Speaker 1: elected in twenty twenty eight. I really don't believe, certainly 228 00:12:54,440 --> 00:12:56,920 Speaker 1: not gonna win in twenty four. We know that. So 229 00:12:57,400 --> 00:13:01,079 Speaker 1: if she goes all out to me, she's giving up 230 00:13:01,120 --> 00:13:03,800 Speaker 1: on her political viability and just saying, hey, I'm going 231 00:13:03,840 --> 00:13:06,160 Speaker 1: into the media sphere, throw a quick thought your way. 232 00:13:06,200 --> 00:13:10,119 Speaker 2: Because there's all these post mortems of the DeSantis campaign. 233 00:13:11,640 --> 00:13:13,440 Speaker 2: One thing that I think is true and he doesn't 234 00:13:13,440 --> 00:13:16,320 Speaker 2: get credit for this. Now some people may disagree with this, 235 00:13:16,400 --> 00:13:19,960 Speaker 2: but I think this is my assessment at least. Ron. Yeah, 236 00:13:20,000 --> 00:13:21,400 Speaker 2: he went after Trump a little bit here and there, 237 00:13:21,440 --> 00:13:24,640 Speaker 2: but they've buried the hatchet, so to speak. Ron never 238 00:13:25,080 --> 00:13:32,079 Speaker 2: insulted Trump voters. Yeah, that's that's going to be something 239 00:13:32,120 --> 00:13:34,360 Speaker 2: that I think puts him in very good stead for 240 00:13:34,400 --> 00:13:37,679 Speaker 2: twenty twenty eight and beyond. It was never about Trump voters. 241 00:13:37,840 --> 00:13:40,040 Speaker 2: It was about or rather, it was never about insulting 242 00:13:40,080 --> 00:13:42,560 Speaker 2: Trump voter. It was about trying to win Trump voters over. 243 00:13:43,120 --> 00:13:45,760 Speaker 2: And that's an important piece of the puzzle. And I 244 00:13:45,800 --> 00:13:47,320 Speaker 2: think Nicki Haley knows that too. 245 00:13:47,920 --> 00:13:51,640 Speaker 1: Every just about Trump voter's second choice would be Ron DeSantis. 246 00:13:52,080 --> 00:13:56,200 Speaker 1: If Trump tomorrow suddenly had a health related condition and said, 247 00:13:56,320 --> 00:13:59,480 Speaker 1: I can't be president. I cannot run. I'm gonna have 248 00:13:59,480 --> 00:14:03,000 Speaker 1: to withdraw. I think that DeSantis would be the nominee, 249 00:14:03,040 --> 00:14:05,040 Speaker 1: and I think he would have comfortably won. I think 250 00:14:05,080 --> 00:14:07,959 Speaker 1: he would have gotten almost all of the Trump support. 251 00:14:08,000 --> 00:14:11,840 Speaker 1: Now he doesn't have the same excitement level, he doesn't 252 00:14:11,840 --> 00:14:14,840 Speaker 1: have the same panache, the same sizzle, But in terms 253 00:14:14,880 --> 00:14:17,240 Speaker 1: of actually being president, I think you can make a 254 00:14:17,280 --> 00:14:20,560 Speaker 1: strong argument that he would have been the most effective 255 00:14:21,080 --> 00:14:24,680 Speaker 1: with the tools of governance. And one thing we want 256 00:14:24,720 --> 00:14:26,200 Speaker 1: to make sure with you is that you're the most 257 00:14:26,200 --> 00:14:28,920 Speaker 1: effective at making sure you have the tools of your 258 00:14:28,920 --> 00:14:33,360 Speaker 1: family's memories.

I'm talking about politics and 286 00:16:07,080 --> 00:16:09,840 Speaker 2: the Democrats what they're going to do. One thing you've 287 00:16:09,920 --> 00:16:16,000 Speaker 2: left out, my friend is Kamala Harris is out there 288 00:16:16,120 --> 00:16:19,560 Speaker 2: now on the campaign trail Clay and she's saying stuff 289 00:16:19,680 --> 00:16:23,680 Speaker 2: like this has cut five, telling people, you know, we're 290 00:16:23,680 --> 00:16:27,080 Speaker 2: going to need everyone to vote play it to get there. 291 00:16:27,360 --> 00:16:30,600 Speaker 4: We're going to require everyone to vote, but to understand 292 00:16:30,680 --> 00:16:31,640 Speaker 4: what's at stake. 293 00:16:31,440 --> 00:16:33,080 Speaker 2: Right now, and. 294 00:16:35,520 --> 00:16:39,520 Speaker 4: That is no small matter. To make sure that we 295 00:16:39,560 --> 00:16:44,320 Speaker 4: are present and I intend to travel around our country 296 00:16:44,320 --> 00:16:46,160 Speaker 4: to remind people of what's at stake and that their 297 00:16:46,240 --> 00:16:50,200 Speaker 4: voice will matter and we'll be expressed to their vote 298 00:16:50,200 --> 00:16:51,040 Speaker 4: in any other ways. 299 00:16:51,760 --> 00:16:54,000 Speaker 2: Can I just say, if this is Joe Biden's secret 300 00:16:54,040 --> 00:16:58,479 Speaker 2: weapon of the camp patroil, I've had more lively conversations 301 00:16:58,520 --> 00:17:01,800 Speaker 2: with employees at the DM than when she's talking about 302 00:17:01,960 --> 00:17:03,760 Speaker 2: why Biden Harris should win. 303 00:17:04,359 --> 00:17:09,359 Speaker 1: Every time Kamala Harris speaks, she speaks as if she 304 00:17:09,480 --> 00:17:11,760 Speaker 1: has a word limit that she's trying to reach that 305 00:17:11,840 --> 00:17:14,960 Speaker 1: she doesn't have enough words to reach. She's a kid, 306 00:17:15,640 --> 00:17:17,760 Speaker 1: and maybe some of you have been in this camp before, 307 00:17:18,080 --> 00:17:22,040 Speaker 1: who has a thousand word paper to write and she's 308 00:17:22,119 --> 00:17:25,000 Speaker 1: only been able to write six hundred and so she's 309 00:17:25,040 --> 00:17:27,560 Speaker 1: got to find the other four hundred somewhere. And she 310 00:17:27,720 --> 00:17:30,160 Speaker 1: just keeps saying the same thing over and over again 311 00:17:30,600 --> 00:17:35,040 Speaker 1: in a convoluted mess. She's a really bad communicator, and 312 00:17:35,119 --> 00:17:37,199 Speaker 1: I think the best way to explain her is, this 313 00:17:37,280 --> 00:17:39,960 Speaker 1: is what happens when you have single party systems. There 314 00:17:40,040 --> 00:17:44,160 Speaker 1: is no opposition party in the state of California. They 315 00:17:44,200 --> 00:17:47,040 Speaker 1: decided that she looked like the kind of person to 316 00:17:47,119 --> 00:17:50,040 Speaker 1: be a Democrat in that state, and she never had 317 00:17:50,040 --> 00:17:54,520 Speaker 1: to actually win any battles on the intellectual front. 318 00:17:54,640 --> 00:17:58,920 Speaker 2: And that's what you get. That's Kamala Harris week week candidate. 319 00:17:59,000 --> 00:18:01,760 Speaker 2: But we'll see. While you may have your ears and 320 00:18:01,800 --> 00:18:04,920 Speaker 2: eyes on the New Hampshire primary tonight and today, of course, 321 00:18:05,359 --> 00:18:08,000 Speaker 2: keep a big picture of you out there about where 322 00:18:08,000 --> 00:18:11,280 Speaker 2: our nation's economy and our nation's dollar is going.

I wanted to play 339 00:19:02,680 --> 00:19:05,840 Speaker 1: a couple of cuts from up in New Hampshire where 340 00:19:05,880 --> 00:19:09,600 Speaker 1: people are now voting granted staters. I hope you are 341 00:19:09,640 --> 00:19:12,960 Speaker 1: all out letting your voices be heard, joining the people 342 00:19:13,000 --> 00:19:16,720 Speaker 1: of Iowa and helping to make decisions on twenty twenty 343 00:19:16,720 --> 00:19:19,440 Speaker 1: four for many of us out there in terms of 344 00:19:19,520 --> 00:19:23,520 Speaker 1: who will be on our ballots. Right now, the shift 345 00:19:24,000 --> 00:19:27,680 Speaker 1: Nikki Haley and Sonunu, the current governor of New Hampshire, 346 00:19:28,000 --> 00:19:33,919 Speaker 1: have started to attack Donald Trump's mental aptitude. This is 347 00:19:34,080 --> 00:19:38,240 Speaker 1: what Governor Sonunu said yesterday. There's only been three goals here. 348 00:19:38,400 --> 00:19:40,200 Speaker 5: One was to make sure she got a second place. 349 00:19:40,240 --> 00:19:40,680 Speaker 2: We got that. 350 00:19:40,960 --> 00:19:42,800 Speaker 5: Two was to make sure there are only two candidates 351 00:19:42,880 --> 00:19:44,520 Speaker 5: left in the race and we're ahead there. She's wiped 352 00:19:44,560 --> 00:19:46,960 Speaker 5: twelve candidates off, and then she wants to build on 353 00:19:47,000 --> 00:19:49,159 Speaker 5: that momentum out of Iowa where you got twenty percent, 354 00:19:49,359 --> 00:19:50,879 Speaker 5: She's going to more than double or exceed that. 355 00:19:51,000 --> 00:19:53,240 Speaker 2: Here. The last point is they're polls. 356 00:19:53,320 --> 00:19:56,240 Speaker 5: Last time I checked, they're always wrong, right, so you. 357 00:19:56,280 --> 00:19:57,400 Speaker 2: Never know the same poll. 358 00:19:57,520 --> 00:19:59,119 Speaker 5: On the day I got elect, the governor said I 359 00:19:59,119 --> 00:20:00,920 Speaker 5: was going to lose by a left and we won 360 00:20:00,960 --> 00:20:03,720 Speaker 5: by a couple percent. So you know, it's all about. 361 00:20:03,480 --> 00:20:04,280 Speaker 2: The voter turnout. 362 00:20:04,280 --> 00:20:05,480 Speaker 1: It's all about the enthusiasm. 363 00:20:05,520 --> 00:20:07,399 Speaker 5: Where's the energy, not just what people say on the 364 00:20:07,440 --> 00:20:10,240 Speaker 5: phone or how they you know, respond to an online 365 00:20:10,280 --> 00:20:13,200 Speaker 5: text or something. It's really about the energy of the campaign. 366 00:20:13,400 --> 00:20:15,520 Speaker 5: Trump has no energy. The guy can barely read a 367 00:20:15,520 --> 00:20:18,440 Speaker 5: teleprompter right now. All the wind is behind Nicky's sales. 368 00:20:18,480 --> 00:20:19,920 Speaker 5: So I just think the sky's the limit. 369 00:20:21,480 --> 00:20:24,679 Speaker 1: I think Trump can can speak pretty easily, and it 370 00:20:24,720 --> 00:20:28,199 Speaker 1: has pretty good ability to go off the cuff, so 371 00:20:28,280 --> 00:20:32,720 Speaker 1: I think that's not really landing. But Trump responded to 372 00:20:33,359 --> 00:20:36,719 Speaker 1: attacks on his aptitude by saying, oh, he would crush 373 00:20:36,800 --> 00:20:40,280 Speaker 1: Nicky Haley in and basically an intelligence test. 374 00:20:40,400 --> 00:20:42,640 Speaker 6: Listen, well, i think I'm a lot sharper than her. 375 00:20:42,680 --> 00:20:44,760 Speaker 6: I would do this. I would sit down right now 376 00:20:44,800 --> 00:20:46,800 Speaker 6: and take an aptitude test, and it would be my 377 00:20:46,880 --> 00:20:49,160 Speaker 6: result against her result, and she's not going to win. 378 00:20:49,400 --> 00:20:52,560 Speaker 6: That could even come close to winning. In fact, when 379 00:20:52,600 --> 00:20:55,040 Speaker 6: I heard the word cognitive, you know, I've taken two 380 00:20:55,040 --> 00:20:57,639 Speaker 6: of them now. I took one with Doc Ronnie who's 381 00:20:57,640 --> 00:21:01,000 Speaker 6: now a fantastic you know, White House doc and a 382 00:21:01,080 --> 00:21:06,480 Speaker 6: fantastic congressman from Texas, Admiral the wet House doctor Jackson, 383 00:21:06,600 --> 00:21:10,000 Speaker 6: Ronnie Jackson, and he's now a great congressman from Texas. 384 00:21:10,000 --> 00:21:13,239 Speaker 6: I took one then, and I took one recently. I 385 00:21:13,240 --> 00:21:16,160 Speaker 6: think the result was announced and it was I aced 386 00:21:16,240 --> 00:21:16,760 Speaker 6: it twice. 387 00:21:16,840 --> 00:21:17,440 Speaker 2: I ased it. 388 00:21:18,600 --> 00:21:21,520 Speaker 1: What do you think, Buck, if we just had instead 389 00:21:21,560 --> 00:21:26,720 Speaker 1: of debates, what if we had Trump v. Biden spelling 390 00:21:26,760 --> 00:21:31,800 Speaker 1: bee or just like a fifth grade history test and 391 00:21:31,920 --> 00:21:36,040 Speaker 1: we just had them go head to head on basic 392 00:21:36,600 --> 00:21:42,760 Speaker 1: American knowledge. That I think would be unbelievable television. I mean, 393 00:21:43,080 --> 00:21:48,880 Speaker 1: I would a spelling bee between Biden and Trump would 394 00:21:48,960 --> 00:21:53,199 Speaker 1: be incredible. But I just don't I don't think that 395 00:21:54,520 --> 00:21:55,719 Speaker 1: his aptitude works. 396 00:21:55,840 --> 00:21:57,800 Speaker 2: Yeah, no, that's not gonna work at all. Just one 397 00:21:57,840 --> 00:21:59,800 Speaker 2: thing that's a little side note. But it is interesting 398 00:21:59,840 --> 00:22:04,200 Speaker 2: to me that the Democrats are generally huge elitists when 399 00:22:04,200 --> 00:22:07,160 Speaker 2: it comes to education, and they you know, they even 400 00:22:07,240 --> 00:22:10,239 Speaker 2: sneer at Amy Coney Barrett, for example, because she went 401 00:22:10,280 --> 00:22:12,520 Speaker 2: to Notre Dame Law School, which, by the way, is 402 00:22:12,560 --> 00:22:14,159 Speaker 2: a very good law school and hard to get into. 403 00:22:14,240 --> 00:22:15,879 Speaker 2: But you know, it's not Harvard or Yale like a 404 00:22:15,880 --> 00:22:17,800 Speaker 2: lot of a or Columbia, which are most of the 405 00:22:17,840 --> 00:22:22,240 Speaker 2: Supreme Court justices go. But they're very, you know, very 406 00:22:22,280 --> 00:22:26,359 Speaker 2: snippy usually about this. You'll notice they never even go 407 00:22:26,440 --> 00:22:28,760 Speaker 2: near the fact that you know, Donald Trump went to 408 00:22:28,800 --> 00:22:34,040 Speaker 2: Wharton and Joe Biden was lying about where he was 409 00:22:34,119 --> 00:22:36,639 Speaker 2: in his class at Syracuse Law School. He was at 410 00:22:36,680 --> 00:22:40,199 Speaker 2: the bottom of his Syracuse Law School class. So this 411 00:22:40,320 --> 00:22:42,159 Speaker 2: is why you never hear them, really, I think go 412 00:22:42,280 --> 00:22:46,000 Speaker 2: after Trump on an education level because Trump is an 413 00:22:46,000 --> 00:22:48,879 Speaker 2: ivy leaguer and Biden is a guy not in the 414 00:22:48,880 --> 00:22:50,840 Speaker 2: wrong with Syracuse Law School a good school. To be 415 00:22:50,880 --> 00:22:53,120 Speaker 2: the bottom of your class at Syracuse Law School though 416 00:22:53,400 --> 00:22:57,080 Speaker 2: fifty years ago, it's pretty pretty darn and impressive. Well, 417 00:22:57,119 --> 00:22:59,080 Speaker 2: I mean, they went after George W. Bush and didn't 418 00:22:59,080 --> 00:23:02,359 Speaker 2: he have a Harvard NBA. Well, he actually had better 419 00:23:02,400 --> 00:23:06,399 Speaker 2: grades than John Kerrey did from Yale, which is what 420 00:23:06,480 --> 00:23:08,119 Speaker 2: the whole thing was. They were like, George Bush is 421 00:23:08,160 --> 00:23:10,159 Speaker 2: so dumb. He got some b's and c's. And then 422 00:23:10,160 --> 00:23:12,480 Speaker 2: they look at John Kerry and John carry got like 423 00:23:12,560 --> 00:23:15,400 Speaker 2: lots of seasons. John Kerrey's skill is like marrying rich 424 00:23:15,440 --> 00:23:18,200 Speaker 2: women more than once. Like that's John Kerry's great life skill. 425 00:23:19,000 --> 00:23:22,679 Speaker 1: It is fascinating who gets attacked for their intelligence and 426 00:23:22,720 --> 00:23:28,159 Speaker 1: who doesn't. But I again, I don't think that the 427 00:23:28,400 --> 00:23:32,920 Speaker 1: cognitive aspect is the way to attack him. If Nicki 428 00:23:32,960 --> 00:23:36,560 Speaker 1: Haley came to me and she said, Clay, I'm willing 429 00:23:36,640 --> 00:23:39,479 Speaker 1: to burn the ships, I don't think she's willing to. 430 00:23:39,880 --> 00:23:42,320 Speaker 1: But let's presume that she said, I'm willing to burn 431 00:23:42,359 --> 00:23:45,800 Speaker 1: the ships. I have decided this is my best chance 432 00:23:45,840 --> 00:23:49,440 Speaker 1: to ever be elected president. How do I beat Trump? 433 00:23:49,960 --> 00:23:53,600 Speaker 1: What would you advise me? I would say, you go 434 00:23:53,720 --> 00:23:56,920 Speaker 1: after the fact that he lost in twenty twenty, I'm saying, 435 00:23:56,920 --> 00:23:59,280 Speaker 1: if I was Nicky Haley, and you will lose to 436 00:23:59,400 --> 00:24:02,520 Speaker 1: Joe Biden again in twenty twenty four, and you straight 437 00:24:02,600 --> 00:24:06,000 Speaker 1: up own it, and we say we can't risk you 438 00:24:06,600 --> 00:24:10,560 Speaker 1: against Joe Biden again because what will change that will 439 00:24:10,640 --> 00:24:13,359 Speaker 1: lead to you being victorious and I think you have 440 00:24:13,400 --> 00:24:15,840 Speaker 1: to hammer him on it all that that's the only 441 00:24:15,920 --> 00:24:16,840 Speaker 1: message you hit. 442 00:24:17,040 --> 00:24:18,359 Speaker 2: Over and over and over again. 443 00:24:18,720 --> 00:24:20,600 Speaker 1: The challenge that I think she would run into with 444 00:24:20,640 --> 00:24:24,440 Speaker 1: that message is, and I'm one of these people, I'm 445 00:24:24,480 --> 00:24:28,879 Speaker 1: not that worried about electability because if Biden were the nominee, 446 00:24:29,720 --> 00:24:34,040 Speaker 1: then that is Biden's the worst possible nominee. Now, Nicky 447 00:24:34,080 --> 00:24:37,240 Speaker 1: Haley could potentially pivot and take the step of Biden's 448 00:24:37,280 --> 00:24:39,240 Speaker 1: not going to be the nominee. They just want to 449 00:24:39,240 --> 00:24:42,160 Speaker 1: get you locked in Donald Trump, and then they want 450 00:24:42,160 --> 00:24:45,040 Speaker 1: to shift and bring in a better candidate to beat you. 451 00:24:45,560 --> 00:24:49,960 Speaker 1: And I'll beat any candidate they put forward. You probably 452 00:24:49,960 --> 00:24:52,800 Speaker 1: will lose to Biden again if that were her argument, 453 00:24:52,840 --> 00:24:55,720 Speaker 1: but you would certainly lose to Michelle Obama or any 454 00:24:55,760 --> 00:24:58,600 Speaker 1: other rig job candidate they put in. That's the burn 455 00:24:58,720 --> 00:25:02,359 Speaker 1: the ship's argument. And I don't think she's willing to 456 00:25:02,359 --> 00:25:04,280 Speaker 1: burn the ships. And if she's not willing to burn 457 00:25:04,320 --> 00:25:06,439 Speaker 1: the ships, she's not gonna win. I don't think she's 458 00:25:06,440 --> 00:25:08,560 Speaker 1: gonna win no matter what. But you have to be 459 00:25:08,680 --> 00:25:12,320 Speaker 1: willing to say this is it, We're winning this year. 460 00:25:12,600 --> 00:25:15,560 Speaker 1: I don't know that Nikki Hayley in twenty twenty eight, 461 00:25:15,920 --> 00:25:19,440 Speaker 1: would ever find herself again in a mono a mono 462 00:25:19,640 --> 00:25:22,960 Speaker 1: case race for president, because I think in twenty twenty 463 00:25:23,000 --> 00:25:25,239 Speaker 1: eight there'll be twenty five people running, and I think 464 00:25:25,280 --> 00:25:28,880 Speaker 1: it'll be very hard to win that nomination. I don't 465 00:25:28,880 --> 00:25:31,480 Speaker 1: think somebody's gonna run away with it like has happened 466 00:25:31,520 --> 00:25:34,320 Speaker 1: this year. So that's that would be my advice. If 467 00:25:34,320 --> 00:25:36,000 Speaker 1: she said to me, how do I win this race? 468 00:25:36,040 --> 00:25:37,919 Speaker 1: I think you have to say Trump's a loser and 469 00:25:37,960 --> 00:25:38,680 Speaker 1: he'll lose again. 470 00:25:39,000 --> 00:25:41,640 Speaker 2: Have we ever talked about how her Nan Cortez didn't 471 00:25:41,680 --> 00:25:42,560 Speaker 2: actually burn his ships? 472 00:25:42,560 --> 00:25:43,800 Speaker 1: By the way, we have that to say, it's such 473 00:25:43,840 --> 00:25:45,280 Speaker 1: a good metaphor that you have to use it no 474 00:25:45,320 --> 00:25:48,320 Speaker 1: matter what. Yeah, it's it's too good to it's too 475 00:25:48,359 --> 00:25:50,560 Speaker 1: good to change. He scuttled his ships, he didn't actually 476 00:25:50,600 --> 00:25:52,560 Speaker 1: burn them. But burning is a much better if you're 477 00:25:52,560 --> 00:25:55,400 Speaker 1: looking for the metaphor. Burning is much more visceral. 478 00:25:55,480 --> 00:25:57,879 Speaker 2: It's much more you know, you know, another thing, you know, 479 00:25:58,160 --> 00:26:01,320 Speaker 2: nowhere else to go, you know, Lemming's don't actually commit suicide, right, 480 00:26:01,320 --> 00:26:04,520 Speaker 2: But yeah, use of it. Yeah, it's too useful. They 481 00:26:04,560 --> 00:26:07,160 Speaker 2: made a Disney a Disney movie back in the fifties 482 00:26:07,160 --> 00:26:10,080 Speaker 2: a documentary You actually got an Oscar and they basically 483 00:26:10,280 --> 00:26:13,080 Speaker 2: does really mean they got all the Levings together. They 484 00:26:13,080 --> 00:26:16,120 Speaker 2: pushed them off a cliff On video. They don't commit suicide. 485 00:26:16,160 --> 00:26:17,280 Speaker 2: That's insane. 486 00:26:17,200 --> 00:26:19,119 Speaker 1: Yeah, it wouldn't go It wouldn't go very well, and 487 00:26:19,480 --> 00:26:20,679 Speaker 1: media would repeat it. 488 00:26:20,720 --> 00:26:22,880 Speaker 2: No, they would not be very never allowed that anymore. 489 00:26:22,920 --> 00:26:24,320 Speaker 2: And they're actually kind of cute, So it was. It 490 00:26:24,359 --> 00:26:26,280 Speaker 2: was really a shame. There's other there's other ones too, 491 00:26:26,320 --> 00:26:28,600 Speaker 2: where it's like it doesn't no one cares that the 492 00:26:28,640 --> 00:26:31,240 Speaker 2: story isn't Actually it's just too good of a story, 493 00:26:31,480 --> 00:26:33,359 Speaker 2: a little bit like some of the quotes out there, 494 00:26:33,680 --> 00:26:36,560 Speaker 2: Like Ron got hit for using a Churchill quote about 495 00:26:36,600 --> 00:26:39,240 Speaker 2: you know something is it's never final or defeat is 496 00:26:39,280 --> 00:26:44,760 Speaker 2: never final. There are so many good Churchill, Voltaire and 497 00:26:44,840 --> 00:26:48,680 Speaker 2: Shakespeare quotes online that are fake. It's really a shame 498 00:26:48,760 --> 00:26:49,919 Speaker 2: because they're great quotes. 499 00:26:49,960 --> 00:26:51,800 Speaker 1: But the same thing. By the way, Roberty Lee, I 500 00:26:51,800 --> 00:26:53,720 Speaker 1: think one of the most famous quotes that you'll ever 501 00:26:53,760 --> 00:26:57,320 Speaker 1: see from Roberty Lee is duty. I think I'm paraphrasing 502 00:26:57,359 --> 00:26:59,200 Speaker 1: if I mess it up a little bit, but duty 503 00:26:59,320 --> 00:27:02,600 Speaker 1: is the sublime word in the English language. You'll see 504 00:27:02,600 --> 00:27:05,160 Speaker 1: that quote attributed to Roberty Lee. All over the place. 505 00:27:05,160 --> 00:27:08,800 Speaker 1: There are people who are Civil War aficionados, right who 506 00:27:08,800 --> 00:27:11,760 Speaker 1: collect all the different paraphernalia and everything else. They'll have 507 00:27:11,880 --> 00:27:14,080 Speaker 1: like a picture of Roberty Lee with that quote underneath 508 00:27:14,080 --> 00:27:16,399 Speaker 1: that He never said it, but somehow duty is the 509 00:27:16,440 --> 00:27:20,440 Speaker 1: sublimest word in the English language, became attributed to Roberty Lee. 510 00:27:20,480 --> 00:27:22,160 Speaker 1: I don't even know where it came from initially. 511 00:27:22,600 --> 00:27:25,760 Speaker 2: Yeah, and there's some great Alexis to Tolkville stuff, except 512 00:27:25,840 --> 00:27:28,000 Speaker 2: didn't write it, didn't do it. You know, you go 513 00:27:28,040 --> 00:27:30,840 Speaker 2: through Voltaire, some great Voltaire stuff. If you want people 514 00:27:30,840 --> 00:27:32,679 Speaker 2: to pay attention to your fake quote, just put Voltaire 515 00:27:32,720 --> 00:27:35,000 Speaker 2: under it, because the guy was quite clever. And if 516 00:27:35,040 --> 00:27:38,240 Speaker 2: you want to be able to operate on full steam 517 00:27:38,359 --> 00:27:41,840 Speaker 2: to the very end, like Donald Trump, for example, where 518 00:27:41,880 --> 00:27:44,800 Speaker 2: this guy Clay and I were hanging out with Marlago recently. 519 00:27:44,840 --> 00:27:47,879 Speaker 2: He just finished golf. He rolls off the golf course, 520 00:27:48,400 --> 00:27:51,280 Speaker 2: sits down, chills out with us for over an hour, 521 00:27:51,600 --> 00:27:54,920 Speaker 2: does a great interview on radio. He sends us vanilla milkshakes. 522 00:27:54,920 --> 00:27:57,440 Speaker 2: He's high five. And you want that kind of energy, 523 00:27:57,520 --> 00:28:01,359 Speaker 2: drive and stamina, you got to have the stuff in 524 00:28:01,400 --> 00:28:04,080 Speaker 2: your body the right biochemistry. That's where chalk comes in. 525 00:28:04,160 --> 00:28:07,399 Speaker 2: My friends, having energy, stamina, and drive is something you 526 00:28:07,480 --> 00:28:10,159 Speaker 2: need period, and most people don't feel like they have 527 00:28:10,280 --> 00:28:12,200 Speaker 2: enough of it these days. Because energy in a guy's 528 00:28:12,240 --> 00:28:15,800 Speaker 2: body comes from healthy testosterone levels. It's a hormone that 529 00:28:15,840 --> 00:28:18,640 Speaker 2: the body manufactures. But when there's not enough of it, Clay, 530 00:28:18,680 --> 00:28:24,200 Speaker 2: what happens. You start watching MSNBC, you start changing around. Oh, Clay, 531 00:28:24,240 --> 00:28:27,680 Speaker 2: can't hear me? I was gonna say, otherwise, I'm oh, yeah, yeah. 532 00:28:27,680 --> 00:28:29,400 Speaker 2: I was gonna say. If you don't have enough testoster 533 00:28:29,480 --> 00:28:31,679 Speaker 2: and you start watching MSNBC and crying a lot, it's 534 00:28:31,760 --> 00:28:32,120 Speaker 2: not good. 535 00:28:33,119 --> 00:28:35,280 Speaker 1: Maybe I need more testoster. And I was crying during 536 00:28:35,280 --> 00:28:38,560 Speaker 1: the during almost said the view, God forbid crying during 537 00:28:38,560 --> 00:28:38,960 Speaker 1: the crown. 538 00:28:39,560 --> 00:28:39,920 Speaker 2: I don't know. 539 00:28:39,960 --> 00:28:41,040 Speaker 1: I thought about it myself. 540 00:28:41,760 --> 00:28:44,440 Speaker 2: It's very the cinematography is exceptional.

New Hampshire primary is today. If voting 590 00:31:11,960 --> 00:31:15,720 Speaker 2: is happening, will know the result tonight. Nikki Haley is 591 00:31:15,800 --> 00:31:19,959 Speaker 2: saying this is twenty six. She will stay in it 592 00:31:20,240 --> 00:31:21,400 Speaker 2: to win it, no matter. 593 00:31:21,200 --> 00:31:24,680 Speaker 1: What former President Trump last night said, you'll probably drop 594 00:31:24,720 --> 00:31:26,040 Speaker 1: out today. What's your response to that. 595 00:31:26,480 --> 00:31:27,959 Speaker 3: I don't do what he tells me to do. 596 00:31:28,040 --> 00:31:29,520 Speaker 1: I've never done what he tells. 597 00:31:29,280 --> 00:31:31,880 Speaker 3: Me to do. If Trump beats you by double digits 598 00:31:31,920 --> 00:31:33,880 Speaker 3: here in New Hampshire, do you think that your campaign 599 00:31:33,960 --> 00:31:36,120 Speaker 3: has a future? You know, when we come in and 600 00:31:36,200 --> 00:31:40,480 Speaker 3: we start the day and there were thirteen fourteen candidates 601 00:31:40,480 --> 00:31:43,360 Speaker 3: in this race. I didn't get here because of luck. 602 00:31:44,080 --> 00:31:47,120 Speaker 3: I got here because I outworked and out smarted all 603 00:31:47,160 --> 00:31:48,880 Speaker 3: the rest of those fellas in the country. 604 00:31:50,160 --> 00:31:52,600 Speaker 1: What do you mean answer? It's a good answer. I mean, 605 00:31:52,720 --> 00:31:54,240 Speaker 1: I give her credit. I mean, that's the right answer. 606 00:31:54,280 --> 00:31:54,880 Speaker 2: And she is right. 607 00:31:54,920 --> 00:31:57,720 Speaker 1: She has outlasted a lot of people that no one 608 00:31:57,800 --> 00:32:01,920 Speaker 1: thought she would be the last. But you're not running 609 00:32:02,320 --> 00:32:05,360 Speaker 1: to try to almost become president of the United States. 610 00:32:05,640 --> 00:32:08,360 Speaker 1: You're running to be president of the United States. And 611 00:32:08,440 --> 00:32:12,600 Speaker 1: I still unless she wins or loses by like you know, 612 00:32:12,960 --> 00:32:18,000 Speaker 1: three or four points or something like that, close margin loss. 613 00:32:18,520 --> 00:32:21,760 Speaker 1: I don't see any pathway for her at all to 614 00:32:21,840 --> 00:32:24,360 Speaker 1: be able to be the Republican nominee. Which is why 615 00:32:24,400 --> 00:32:26,800 Speaker 1: I think ultimately the question she's gonna have to answer 616 00:32:26,920 --> 00:32:30,920 Speaker 1: by about eleven o'clock eastern tonight is what is the 617 00:32:30,960 --> 00:32:31,560 Speaker 1: future here? 618 00:32:31,960 --> 00:32:32,320 Speaker 2: Now? 619 00:32:32,440 --> 00:32:35,040 Speaker 1: She may get a couple of days to kind of 620 00:32:35,120 --> 00:32:37,480 Speaker 1: think through it. Maybe she waits the rest of this 621 00:32:37,560 --> 00:32:42,360 Speaker 1: week because the primary in South Carolina is a month away, 622 00:32:42,640 --> 00:32:45,280 Speaker 1: so she doesn't have to make an immediate decision. She 623 00:32:45,320 --> 00:32:47,440 Speaker 1: could even wait and see whether there's any kind of 624 00:32:47,480 --> 00:32:52,680 Speaker 1: bounce based on her performance in New Hampshire. But Trump 625 00:32:52,760 --> 00:32:56,640 Speaker 1: was in good shape to win South Carolina before we 626 00:32:56,720 --> 00:32:59,720 Speaker 1: even know what happens in New Hampshire. Nicki Hayley put 627 00:32:59,760 --> 00:33:02,760 Speaker 1: all of her eggs in New Hampshire in this basket, 628 00:33:02,880 --> 00:33:06,480 Speaker 1: as in, I'm going to beat Donald Trump in New Hampshire. 629 00:33:07,120 --> 00:33:08,600 Speaker 1: She's not going to do that. I don't think it 630 00:33:08,600 --> 00:33:10,400 Speaker 1: would be a huge upset. She does, it would be 631 00:33:10,440 --> 00:33:15,800 Speaker 1: a race changing outcome. I think by eleven o'clock eastern, 632 00:33:15,840 --> 00:33:17,760 Speaker 1: Trump is going to have one by fifteen or twenty 633 00:33:17,800 --> 00:33:20,360 Speaker 1: points buck and this race is effectively going to be 634 00:33:20,400 --> 00:33:23,479 Speaker 1: over And that surprises me because if we had been 635 00:33:23,480 --> 00:33:26,680 Speaker 1: talking a year ago, Buck, if I had said to you, 636 00:33:26,760 --> 00:33:31,360 Speaker 1: Trump will have the entire Republican race locked up by 637 00:33:31,640 --> 00:33:35,520 Speaker 1: January twenty third of twenty twenty four, that would have 638 00:33:35,600 --> 00:33:39,280 Speaker 1: been staggering, I think, to both of us. And we've 639 00:33:39,400 --> 00:33:42,960 Speaker 1: never had a general election which is going to last 640 00:33:43,000 --> 00:33:46,000 Speaker 1: for as long as this one will. If Trump does 641 00:33:46,080 --> 00:33:49,160 Speaker 1: tonight what we anticipate the voters of New Hampshire are 642 00:33:49,160 --> 00:33:50,200 Speaker 1: going to do for him. 643 00:33:52,400 --> 00:33:55,440 Speaker 2: People who have underestimated Trump in the past have done 644 00:33:55,480 --> 00:34:02,280 Speaker 2: so with consequences that they weren't expecting. And I think 645 00:34:02,320 --> 00:34:05,000 Speaker 2: that this I don't want to get ahead of it 646 00:34:05,040 --> 00:34:06,800 Speaker 2: because I know we're talking about a lot for the year, 647 00:34:06,920 --> 00:34:09,440 Speaker 2: but the reality of what Trump is putting in play 648 00:34:09,480 --> 00:34:13,719 Speaker 2: here to come back from a presidential election loss in 649 00:34:13,800 --> 00:34:18,440 Speaker 2: office however we got there, that is what happened. To 650 00:34:18,520 --> 00:34:23,680 Speaker 2: come back from that and to not only wipe away 651 00:34:23,680 --> 00:34:27,759 Speaker 2: effectively the entire Republican primary, as you were pointing out, 652 00:34:28,200 --> 00:34:30,160 Speaker 2: sow this whole thing up very quickly. I mean, have 653 00:34:30,200 --> 00:34:34,120 Speaker 2: it already, you know, all good to go at such 654 00:34:34,120 --> 00:34:37,120 Speaker 2: an early stage, and to also be doing all this 655 00:34:37,280 --> 00:34:42,279 Speaker 2: with four felony criminal indictments against him in the background. 656 00:34:42,520 --> 00:34:44,520 Speaker 2: I mean, Trump said it to us he's built different 657 00:34:44,760 --> 00:34:48,640 Speaker 2: or built differently, and he definitely is. This is not 658 00:34:48,880 --> 00:34:51,600 Speaker 2: normal stuff at all that he is going through and 659 00:34:51,640 --> 00:34:56,319 Speaker 2: dealing with, and so far the ability to withstand all 660 00:34:56,400 --> 00:34:59,680 Speaker 2: of this looks almost superhuman. I mean, I think a 661 00:34:59,680 --> 00:35:01,759 Speaker 2: lot of people would be broken by what he's been through. 662 00:35:02,200 --> 00:35:05,239 Speaker 1: And I would say, if you could change one aspect 663 00:35:05,360 --> 00:35:08,400 Speaker 1: of the Republican primary, we'll probably get into this sum tomorrow. 664 00:35:09,080 --> 00:35:11,680 Speaker 1: My kids watch all the Marvel movies, and obviously if 665 00:35:11,680 --> 00:35:14,280 Speaker 1: you watch any of those Marvel movies, there's a concept 666 00:35:14,280 --> 00:35:17,440 Speaker 1: called the multiverse, right where things spiral a little bit differently. 667 00:35:18,280 --> 00:35:22,279 Speaker 1: If Democrats had decided, you know what we're really if 668 00:35:22,360 --> 00:35:24,279 Speaker 1: Joe Biden had been what he said he was going 669 00:35:24,360 --> 00:35:26,840 Speaker 1: to be a uniter, and if he had made the 670 00:35:26,880 --> 00:35:29,040 Speaker 1: same decision when he got into office that Trump made 671 00:35:29,040 --> 00:35:30,840 Speaker 1: about Hillary Clinton, and if he had said, hey, I 672 00:35:30,840 --> 00:35:33,160 Speaker 1: got elected, I'm not going to try to put Donald 673 00:35:33,160 --> 00:35:36,520 Speaker 1: Trump in prison. I'm calling the dogs off, no investigations. 674 00:35:36,960 --> 00:35:38,560 Speaker 1: If he wants to run again, he can run again. 675 00:35:38,600 --> 00:35:41,920 Speaker 1: I'll beat him fair and square. If he had actually 676 00:35:41,960 --> 00:35:45,239 Speaker 1: taken that tack What would have happened in the Republican 677 00:35:45,280 --> 00:35:48,840 Speaker 1: primary that to me, once the indictment started in March 678 00:35:48,880 --> 00:35:52,000 Speaker 1: of twenty twenty three, I really think the die was cast. 679 00:35:52,520 --> 00:35:55,600 Speaker 1: What would New Hampshire and Iowa have looked like if 680 00:35:55,600 --> 00:35:59,359 Speaker 1: Trump had never gotten indicted at all? That is I 681 00:35:59,400 --> 00:36:01,840 Speaker 1: think the No. Number one question that will never know 682 00:36:01,960 --> 00:36:04,760 Speaker 1: the answer of, but to me is the most integral 683 00:36:04,760 --> 00:36:05,960 Speaker 1: aspect of the entire. 684 00:36:05,800 --> 00:36:08,359 Speaker 2: Republican A summary race. Can you think of another time 685 00:36:08,400 --> 00:36:13,080 Speaker 2: in political and political history where a felony criminal indictment, 686 00:36:13,239 --> 00:36:16,319 Speaker 2: never mind four of them against a person running for 687 00:36:16,400 --> 00:36:21,840 Speaker 2: office was a net positive in this way? I usually 688 00:36:21,880 --> 00:36:24,920 Speaker 2: a felony indictment would mean your toast. Yeah. 689 00:36:25,320 --> 00:36:27,520 Speaker 1: Most people would drop out if they got a felony 690 00:36:27,520 --> 00:36:31,320 Speaker 1: indicting Yes, so most people wouldn't even consider continuing to run. 691 00:36:32,880 --> 00:36:35,000 Speaker 1: That's a fun discussion too. No, I can't think of 692 00:36:35,040 --> 00:36:38,719 Speaker 1: any historical analogy here that's anything like the moment that 693 00:36:38,719 --> 00:36:39,680 Speaker 1: we're in right now. 694 00:36:39,840 --> 00:36:40,840 Speaker 2: Trump is built different
