1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:03,320
Speaker 1: Welcome to today's edition of the Clay Travis and Buck

2
00:00:03,360 --> 00:00:08,159
Speaker 1: Sexton Show podcast. Okay, everybody, we're five days out. I

3
00:00:08,200 --> 00:00:13,200
Speaker 1: am Clay Travis, he is Buck Sexton, and let's nerd

4
00:00:13,240 --> 00:00:20,119
Speaker 1: out on the latest data out there in both the polls,

5
00:00:20,360 --> 00:00:23,280
Speaker 1: but more importantly, I think at this point the gambling markets,

6
00:00:23,360 --> 00:00:27,840
Speaker 1: where are people putting their money? Where are these races

7
00:00:27,960 --> 00:00:31,920
Speaker 1: going to be decided? What should you know as we

8
00:00:32,240 --> 00:00:34,479
Speaker 1: che closer and closer to the weekend, and as we

9
00:00:34,520 --> 00:00:40,080
Speaker 1: get closer and closer to the official election day mid

10
00:00:40,280 --> 00:00:43,600
Speaker 1: term event. Now, first of all, as we have been

11
00:00:43,680 --> 00:00:48,120
Speaker 1: hammering home to you for a very long time, go vote.

12
00:00:49,159 --> 00:00:51,120
Speaker 1: I know there are people out there bucking you. Probably

13
00:00:51,120 --> 00:00:52,840
Speaker 1: hear from them as well that say, oh, I don't

14
00:00:52,840 --> 00:00:55,360
Speaker 1: trust that this election is going to be fair. I

15
00:00:55,360 --> 00:00:57,560
Speaker 1: don't trust that it's going to be impartial. I think

16
00:00:57,560 --> 00:01:00,760
Speaker 1: that Democrats are gonna pull funny tricks. All of those

17
00:01:00,760 --> 00:01:03,440
Speaker 1: things can be true, and I totally understand that perspective.

18
00:01:04,720 --> 00:01:09,360
Speaker 1: But that is why we need a red tsunami. Put

19
00:01:09,360 --> 00:01:12,560
Speaker 1: it in the world of sports, don't let an official

20
00:01:12,680 --> 00:01:16,039
Speaker 1: be able to make a determination. Don't make it close

21
00:01:16,120 --> 00:01:19,920
Speaker 1: enough that one call can change the outcome of an election.

22
00:01:20,000 --> 00:01:24,120
Speaker 1: Don't let a judge be able to determine who won

23
00:01:24,240 --> 00:01:27,679
Speaker 1: this election. I understand if some of you are still

24
00:01:27,720 --> 00:01:31,240
Speaker 1: reticent and angry over what happened in twenty twenty and

25
00:01:31,400 --> 00:01:36,520
Speaker 1: the COVID craziness that led to so many different changes

26
00:01:36,520 --> 00:01:39,600
Speaker 1: in how votes were tabulated. I understand that one hundred percent.

27
00:01:40,480 --> 00:01:44,319
Speaker 1: But what are your options you're so angry about that

28
00:01:44,480 --> 00:01:47,800
Speaker 1: in twenty twenty that you choose not to vote in

29
00:01:47,840 --> 00:01:53,000
Speaker 1: twenty twenty two and guarantee that your vote, your fundamental

30
00:01:53,400 --> 00:01:57,440
Speaker 1: voice in democracy, is not heard at all. It's just

31
00:01:57,520 --> 00:02:03,640
Speaker 1: not a viable option. You're not a loser. Losers refuse

32
00:02:03,800 --> 00:02:10,000
Speaker 1: to vote. You are winners, and over time, winners win,

33
00:02:10,320 --> 00:02:13,120
Speaker 1: and we are gonna win big on Tuesday if you

34
00:02:13,240 --> 00:02:16,760
Speaker 1: go all out and vote and hold Democrats accountable for

35
00:02:16,800 --> 00:02:19,519
Speaker 1: what they've done with their power over the past two years.

36
00:02:20,360 --> 00:02:27,080
Speaker 1: Now buck the House. We are absolutely dominating in we

37
00:02:27,360 --> 00:02:29,800
Speaker 1: I think Republicans are going to end up with a

38
00:02:29,960 --> 00:02:33,800
Speaker 1: thirty plus seat majority in the House. There are a

39
00:02:33,800 --> 00:02:37,040
Speaker 1: lot of seats breaking in this direction. That is fantastic.

40
00:02:37,080 --> 00:02:39,480
Speaker 1: I don't even really do you hear Democrats even arguing

41
00:02:39,520 --> 00:02:42,040
Speaker 1: that they're gonna win the House anymore. I understand Nancy

42
00:02:42,040 --> 00:02:44,480
Speaker 1: Pelosi might be running around still saying it because she

43
00:02:44,560 --> 00:02:47,800
Speaker 1: wants to stay speaker. But I don't even hear even

44
00:02:48,200 --> 00:02:51,680
Speaker 1: the most crazy, the craziest analysts out there on the

45
00:02:51,760 --> 00:02:54,960
Speaker 1: left on MSNBC and CNN. I think even they have

46
00:02:55,120 --> 00:02:58,440
Speaker 1: realized that the House is looking bad. Well, the Senate

47
00:02:58,520 --> 00:03:00,400
Speaker 1: is also looking really bad. So let me give you

48
00:03:00,440 --> 00:03:05,240
Speaker 1: the absolute latest. Pennsylvania, Doctor Oz is surging. A couple

49
00:03:05,240 --> 00:03:07,840
Speaker 1: of polls have him in the lead. Gambling markets have

50
00:03:07,919 --> 00:03:10,840
Speaker 1: him squarely in the lead. Money coming in on him.

51
00:03:11,280 --> 00:03:14,440
Speaker 1: He is right now close to the biggest gambling favorite

52
00:03:14,440 --> 00:03:17,840
Speaker 1: in this race that he has ever been. Herschel Walker

53
00:03:17,960 --> 00:03:21,560
Speaker 1: is absolutely surging. Poll that came out earlier today had

54
00:03:21,639 --> 00:03:25,720
Speaker 1: him up seven points, had Brian Kemp up twelve points. Now,

55
00:03:25,720 --> 00:03:28,280
Speaker 1: those may be higher than what the final margins are

56
00:03:28,320 --> 00:03:32,000
Speaker 1: going to be, but that is a sign of the

57
00:03:32,040 --> 00:03:37,000
Speaker 1: overall margin and the breakdowns there. Arizona, the Libertarian candidate

58
00:03:37,040 --> 00:03:42,240
Speaker 1: has dropped out. Blake Masters is surging in Arizona as

59
00:03:42,320 --> 00:03:47,880
Speaker 1: a result, and out in Nevada. Out in Nevada, Adam Laxalt,

60
00:03:47,920 --> 00:03:50,920
Speaker 1: in the gambling markets and also in the polls is

61
00:03:50,960 --> 00:03:54,560
Speaker 1: pulling away, but he may end up winning by five

62
00:03:54,640 --> 00:03:59,120
Speaker 1: or six points. Also in North Carolina, sorry in New Hampshire.

63
00:04:00,320 --> 00:04:05,840
Speaker 1: In New Hampshire, General Balduck is surging right now in

64
00:04:05,880 --> 00:04:08,920
Speaker 1: the polls. The two most recent polls of New Hampshire

65
00:04:09,000 --> 00:04:12,120
Speaker 1: have had him winning. I believe I am correct in this.

66
00:04:12,240 --> 00:04:14,320
Speaker 1: I don't want to anger the New Hampshire rights or

67
00:04:14,360 --> 00:04:16,880
Speaker 1: the Granite Staters with this, but I believe I'm correct.

68
00:04:17,200 --> 00:04:19,800
Speaker 1: Our staff can confirm. I don't think they have a

69
00:04:19,839 --> 00:04:22,320
Speaker 1: early voting at all in New Hampshire. I think you

70
00:04:22,480 --> 00:04:25,760
Speaker 1: have to vote on election day, and that means that

71
00:04:25,880 --> 00:04:30,080
Speaker 1: momentum in New Hampshire matters more than it does anywhere

72
00:04:30,120 --> 00:04:33,120
Speaker 1: else in the country, and momentum is all surging in

73
00:04:33,400 --> 00:04:37,200
Speaker 1: on Don Balduck to the point buck where right now,

74
00:04:37,320 --> 00:04:42,200
Speaker 1: if you bet on how many Senate seats Republicans are

75
00:04:42,200 --> 00:04:45,160
Speaker 1: going to end up with, there is a dead tie

76
00:04:45,200 --> 00:04:48,280
Speaker 1: in the betting markets. The two most common results are

77
00:04:48,440 --> 00:04:52,840
Speaker 1: fifty three and fifty four Senate seats. That would be

78
00:04:52,920 --> 00:04:56,760
Speaker 1: either a flip of three or a flip of four,

79
00:04:56,800 --> 00:04:59,440
Speaker 1: and it would mean that Democrats would take no seats

80
00:04:59,440 --> 00:05:02,039
Speaker 1: from republic plans. That's where we are in the Senate.

81
00:05:02,040 --> 00:05:05,159
Speaker 1: Our friend Christine Drayson is pulling ahead in the gambling markets.

82
00:05:05,600 --> 00:05:08,719
Speaker 1: People vote all by mail in Oregon, so that process

83
00:05:08,800 --> 00:05:11,560
Speaker 1: drags on for a while, but she is up comfortably.

84
00:05:11,880 --> 00:05:16,240
Speaker 1: And then Lee's Eldon Tutor, Dixon, New York, and Michigan

85
00:05:16,320 --> 00:05:20,440
Speaker 1: among them. We got Michael's in Wisconsin, who is right

86
00:05:20,440 --> 00:05:23,880
Speaker 1: now the gambling favorite to flip. Probably four or five

87
00:05:24,040 --> 00:05:28,600
Speaker 1: maybe more Democrat incumbents are going to lose right now

88
00:05:28,640 --> 00:05:32,559
Speaker 1: based on the data in governor races as well. All right, bucks,

89
00:05:32,560 --> 00:05:34,240
Speaker 1: So I just laid all that out. I love to

90
00:05:34,320 --> 00:05:36,159
Speaker 1: nerd out on this. The amount of time that I

91
00:05:36,240 --> 00:05:39,520
Speaker 1: spend looking at this data would frankly, if you've got

92
00:05:39,560 --> 00:05:41,800
Speaker 1: my cell phone, you'd be like, my god, Clay Travis,

93
00:05:41,800 --> 00:05:43,520
Speaker 1: get a life. How do you look at this data

94
00:05:43,600 --> 00:05:45,960
Speaker 1: this often and this much? But I'm obsessed with it.

95
00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:48,080
Speaker 1: I can't wait for five days to get from now

96
00:05:48,120 --> 00:05:51,960
Speaker 1: to get here. All of the numbers look fantastic, and

97
00:05:52,200 --> 00:05:55,440
Speaker 1: all the things that Democrats have been doing to try

98
00:05:55,440 --> 00:05:58,680
Speaker 1: to stop the momentum at this point, if they could

99
00:05:58,720 --> 00:06:02,080
Speaker 1: even blunt the momentum of the Republicans in these races,

100
00:06:02,839 --> 00:06:06,159
Speaker 1: that would be a kind of win. And they can't

101
00:06:06,160 --> 00:06:10,919
Speaker 1: even do that. Barack Obama, for example, deployed in numerous

102
00:06:11,440 --> 00:06:15,120
Speaker 1: races now to be a surrogate. I think you might

103
00:06:15,160 --> 00:06:18,200
Speaker 1: have seen this on Daily Mail a Barack Obama did

104
00:06:18,240 --> 00:06:21,160
Speaker 1: his usual you know, economy that's good for folks at

105
00:06:21,160 --> 00:06:23,120
Speaker 1: the very top, but not good for ordinary people. And

106
00:06:23,120 --> 00:06:26,159
Speaker 1: people are like, yeah, people like you who are super rich,

107
00:06:26,640 --> 00:06:29,920
Speaker 1: that's the economy. People are actually heckling Barack Obama. Now

108
00:06:30,240 --> 00:06:35,960
Speaker 1: about the usual you know, pseudo populist, quasi socialist rhetoric

109
00:06:36,000 --> 00:06:38,960
Speaker 1: from Barack. He has never It's this is something people

110
00:06:39,080 --> 00:06:45,320
Speaker 1: always forget. Barack Obama's personal political popularity has never translated

111
00:06:45,360 --> 00:06:48,160
Speaker 1: to other candidates. He has never. He has a very

112
00:06:48,240 --> 00:06:51,360
Speaker 1: weak track record of showing up and getting people to

113
00:06:51,440 --> 00:06:55,560
Speaker 1: vote for someone who is not Barack Obama. And and

114
00:06:55,600 --> 00:06:58,120
Speaker 1: so that's not gonna that's not gonna do anything. That's

115
00:06:58,120 --> 00:07:02,600
Speaker 1: not gonna work. These politicians who have been ducking debates,

116
00:07:02,600 --> 00:07:08,599
Speaker 1: like Hobbs in Arizona oviously smoked buck smoked by carry Lake.

117
00:07:08,800 --> 00:07:11,119
Speaker 1: She's in she's in quite a bit of trouble. Actually,

118
00:07:11,160 --> 00:07:14,120
Speaker 1: you mentioned Carry Lake. Do you want to She keeps

119
00:07:14,160 --> 00:07:17,600
Speaker 1: putting all these It's really nice of her it's really

120
00:07:17,600 --> 00:07:20,480
Speaker 1: like a public service. It's a free clinic on how

121
00:07:20,480 --> 00:07:24,040
Speaker 1: to deal with the fake news and their attacks, their ambushes,

122
00:07:24,080 --> 00:07:26,480
Speaker 1: their their traps. Here's one of their one of their

123
00:07:26,480 --> 00:07:31,600
Speaker 1: things is hey, somebody who lost a loved one. That's right,

124
00:07:32,120 --> 00:07:35,440
Speaker 1: creating the background here, it's it's the officer officer sick.

125
00:07:35,560 --> 00:07:40,280
Speaker 1: Nick's mom is evidently in an ad attacking Carry Lake

126
00:07:40,360 --> 00:07:43,600
Speaker 1: and blaming her for her son's death. But this is

127
00:07:43,600 --> 00:07:47,960
Speaker 1: the classic Democrat thing. Remember there were the the nine

128
00:07:48,040 --> 00:07:52,000
Speaker 1: eleven widows. They were cutting campaign commercials for John Carry

129
00:07:52,680 --> 00:07:56,640
Speaker 1: There were a lot, tragically of nine eleven widows, but

130
00:07:56,720 --> 00:07:58,960
Speaker 1: they refer to themselves. I think it was four women

131
00:07:59,360 --> 00:08:02,840
Speaker 1: who were partisan Democrats who referred to as the nine

132
00:08:02,920 --> 00:08:08,040
Speaker 1: eleven widows to attack Bush. So that John Kerry, who,

133
00:08:08,120 --> 00:08:10,280
Speaker 1: by the way, I know you saw this. I saw

134
00:08:10,360 --> 00:08:12,720
Speaker 1: you talking with this on Fox right before we came on. Yeah,

135
00:08:12,920 --> 00:08:17,360
Speaker 1: is no longer flying private to the climate change conference

136
00:08:17,440 --> 00:08:23,640
Speaker 1: because it is so ridiculous and so obviously so I know,

137
00:08:23,680 --> 00:08:27,320
Speaker 1: obviously hypocritical for him to do so. But this is

138
00:08:27,400 --> 00:08:31,200
Speaker 1: the point here, just the Democrats love to use people

139
00:08:31,240 --> 00:08:34,080
Speaker 1: who are victims or people who have suffered a tragedy

140
00:08:34,640 --> 00:08:38,199
Speaker 1: Joe Biden. Does this any tragedy they have suffered to

141
00:08:38,200 --> 00:08:42,480
Speaker 1: try to attack or corner their political opponents. It's gross,

142
00:08:42,640 --> 00:08:45,520
Speaker 1: it's unseemly, but they do it all the time. Here

143
00:08:45,600 --> 00:08:48,560
Speaker 1: is a reporter from It doesn't matter where going. We

144
00:08:48,640 --> 00:08:51,120
Speaker 1: have this clip right of Carrie Lake dealing with this guy.

145
00:08:51,679 --> 00:08:56,080
Speaker 1: He says, officer sick Knicks. You know mother is attacking

146
00:08:56,120 --> 00:08:59,960
Speaker 1: you because of what you've said about January six Here's

147
00:09:00,240 --> 00:09:02,360
Speaker 1: here's how she handles it. I'm so sorry about the

148
00:09:02,400 --> 00:09:05,880
Speaker 1: death of your son. It is tragic. I'm a mother myself,

149
00:09:05,960 --> 00:09:08,520
Speaker 1: and that is it breaks my heart. So that is

150
00:09:08,559 --> 00:09:11,160
Speaker 1: a wound when you lose a child, no matter how

151
00:09:11,160 --> 00:09:14,000
Speaker 1: old they are, that never heals. And so I don't

152
00:09:14,040 --> 00:09:16,560
Speaker 1: want to disparage her. She doesn't know me. I wasn't

153
00:09:16,640 --> 00:09:20,400
Speaker 1: anywhere near the capital on January sixth, and I understand

154
00:09:20,440 --> 00:09:23,040
Speaker 1: that her son died I think the following day of

155
00:09:23,040 --> 00:09:27,040
Speaker 1: a stroke or natural causes. And I feel for her

156
00:09:27,200 --> 00:09:30,400
Speaker 1: and I see the pain in her eyes, and I

157
00:09:30,440 --> 00:09:32,920
Speaker 1: would never try to disparage or hurt her because I

158
00:09:32,960 --> 00:09:35,800
Speaker 1: know when a mother has pain like that, there's no

159
00:09:35,840 --> 00:09:41,480
Speaker 1: way to heal that. So trying to read mother to

160
00:09:41,600 --> 00:09:45,240
Speaker 1: attack her and then trying to she just she handles

161
00:09:45,240 --> 00:09:47,320
Speaker 1: it perfectly, which she understands the grief of a mother

162
00:09:47,559 --> 00:09:50,559
Speaker 1: and it's very sad, and that's all she's going to,

163
00:09:50,600 --> 00:09:53,080
Speaker 1: you know, just show the voters who you are as

164
00:09:53,120 --> 00:09:55,599
Speaker 1: a person when you're attacked like that. And there's no

165
00:09:55,679 --> 00:09:58,720
Speaker 1: obviously to say I had nothing to do with January six.

166
00:09:59,000 --> 00:10:03,440
Speaker 1: They're exploiting her. This is ridiculous. They're hoping she'll do that,

167
00:10:03,559 --> 00:10:06,600
Speaker 1: so then it's, oh, you don't care about a grieving mother.

168
00:10:06,720 --> 00:10:11,160
Speaker 1: You know. The lib journals are the most disgraceful, disgusting,

169
00:10:11,559 --> 00:10:16,640
Speaker 1: immoral people in American professional society. Okay, they'll do anything

170
00:10:17,440 --> 00:10:19,640
Speaker 1: well and what she does so well there and that's

171
00:10:19,679 --> 00:10:22,560
Speaker 1: the first part of her answer is find out the

172
00:10:22,600 --> 00:10:27,280
Speaker 1: details answer that particular aspect of the question. But why

173
00:10:27,320 --> 00:10:29,760
Speaker 1: this is a masterclass to me? And I shared this

174
00:10:29,800 --> 00:10:31,800
Speaker 1: full video. We'll have it up at Clay and Buck

175
00:10:32,000 --> 00:10:33,960
Speaker 1: dot com. You can check it out there, I'm sure

176
00:10:34,000 --> 00:10:37,520
Speaker 1: as well. What makes it a masterclass of an answer,

177
00:10:37,559 --> 00:10:41,439
Speaker 1: buck is she transitions from the pain of that mother

178
00:10:41,600 --> 00:10:45,040
Speaker 1: who has lost her son and says, these are the

179
00:10:45,120 --> 00:10:47,800
Speaker 1: same kind of eyes that I see on the campaign

180
00:10:47,880 --> 00:10:52,240
Speaker 1: trail all over Arizona from people who are losing their

181
00:10:52,320 --> 00:10:57,080
Speaker 1: children to fentnel and why we need to make sure

182
00:10:57,120 --> 00:11:00,520
Speaker 1: that we are protecting as many of the young people

183
00:11:00,640 --> 00:11:06,120
Speaker 1: in particular all over Arizona from fentnol coming across the

184
00:11:06,360 --> 00:11:11,760
Speaker 1: undefended southern border. So I really mean this. I think

185
00:11:11,800 --> 00:11:14,559
Speaker 1: that there if you are a Republican strategist, if you're

186
00:11:14,600 --> 00:11:18,200
Speaker 1: involved in politics, if you're a campaign you should go

187
00:11:18,320 --> 00:11:21,960
Speaker 1: watch the way that she handles that question. I don't

188
00:11:21,960 --> 00:11:24,640
Speaker 1: think you can train it, Buck, because it has to

189
00:11:24,720 --> 00:11:27,240
Speaker 1: be natural, and she is very natural at responding to

190
00:11:27,440 --> 00:11:32,240
Speaker 1: questions in an authentic way. But very few politicians can

191
00:11:32,320 --> 00:11:36,320
Speaker 1: take a question that the premise of Buck is, you're

192
00:11:36,440 --> 00:11:40,200
Speaker 1: responsible for someone's child dying. That's the intent of the

193
00:11:40,240 --> 00:11:44,800
Speaker 1: CBS journalist who asked her this question. Show respect for

194
00:11:45,000 --> 00:11:49,120
Speaker 1: that mother and transition it into the larger respect that

195
00:11:49,200 --> 00:11:52,280
Speaker 1: you have for parents losing children all over this country.

196
00:11:52,640 --> 00:11:56,480
Speaker 1: And why you are running for office because there are

197
00:11:56,679 --> 00:11:58,960
Speaker 1: I think there's still bucking you know this, there's a

198
00:11:59,000 --> 00:12:02,080
Speaker 1: palpable fear of the media and many candidates out there

199
00:12:02,120 --> 00:12:04,959
Speaker 1: that are running. And what I love about Carrie Lake

200
00:12:05,000 --> 00:12:08,200
Speaker 1: and I think this is a lesson from Trump is

201
00:12:08,240 --> 00:12:10,199
Speaker 1: you have to be willing to stand up to these

202
00:12:10,200 --> 00:12:12,839
Speaker 1: people and acknowledge them for what they are, which is

203
00:12:12,880 --> 00:12:18,120
Speaker 1: your political opponents, but you use their attempted attacks as

204
00:12:18,160 --> 00:12:20,200
Speaker 1: a way to get your message out. And I don't

205
00:12:20,280 --> 00:12:22,959
Speaker 1: mean sometimes politicians do this. Buck. You might get a question,

206
00:12:23,280 --> 00:12:25,120
Speaker 1: you know, in a debate, and it's like, hey, what

207
00:12:25,160 --> 00:12:27,320
Speaker 1: do you think about tax policy? And you turn it

208
00:12:27,360 --> 00:12:31,120
Speaker 1: to an answer on abortion. That's a clear dodge, right,

209
00:12:31,160 --> 00:12:33,840
Speaker 1: And I think voters noticed that on some level, Oh,

210
00:12:33,880 --> 00:12:37,240
Speaker 1: you didn't even answer the question. She directly answered the question,

211
00:12:37,360 --> 00:12:39,840
Speaker 1: and she pivoted it to a larger issue that she's

212
00:12:39,880 --> 00:12:42,760
Speaker 1: trying to address in her campaign. It's a masterclass. And

213
00:12:43,120 --> 00:12:46,760
Speaker 1: she also realizes something that Trump has realized for a

214
00:12:46,880 --> 00:12:49,200
Speaker 1: very long time. And he's been in the dealing with

215
00:12:49,280 --> 00:12:53,200
Speaker 1: the media game and the politics of personal destruction from

216
00:12:53,320 --> 00:12:55,560
Speaker 1: long before he was even in politics, dealing with the

217
00:12:55,600 --> 00:12:59,560
Speaker 1: tabloid media, which is gross a lot of the time,

218
00:12:59,840 --> 00:13:03,319
Speaker 1: and that these people who are asked so awful. Yeah,

219
00:13:03,360 --> 00:13:06,120
Speaker 1: these people who are asking these questions, like that CBS

220
00:13:06,240 --> 00:13:11,080
Speaker 1: journalist is not looking to elucidate an issue, So the

221
00:13:11,120 --> 00:13:14,160
Speaker 1: public has a better understanding that person isn't even just

222
00:13:14,200 --> 00:13:17,160
Speaker 1: seeking to prevent carry Lake from being the governor that

223
00:13:17,200 --> 00:13:20,360
Speaker 1: person's goal, and the journals of the left, this is

224
00:13:20,400 --> 00:13:23,600
Speaker 1: what they do at CBS, at CNN. Their goal when

225
00:13:23,679 --> 00:13:28,680
Speaker 1: they can is to destroy a person's reputation and even

226
00:13:28,720 --> 00:13:30,640
Speaker 1: make it hard for them to earn a living after

227
00:13:30,679 --> 00:13:33,680
Speaker 1: they lose their political contest. Because they are on the right,

228
00:13:33,920 --> 00:13:37,000
Speaker 1: they are looking to destroy people. So as long as

229
00:13:37,000 --> 00:13:39,920
Speaker 1: you understand that when you're interacting with them and you

230
00:13:40,000 --> 00:13:42,240
Speaker 1: know what you're up against, you can have these carry

231
00:13:42,280 --> 00:13:47,000
Speaker 1: Lake moments. And also this is the benefit of recording everything,

232
00:13:47,080 --> 00:13:50,360
Speaker 1: which I would tell everyone on the trail to do,

233
00:13:50,559 --> 00:13:54,040
Speaker 1: because then you also keep yourself from being twenty seconded.

234
00:13:54,120 --> 00:13:56,240
Speaker 1: You give a two minute answer and somebody takes twenty

235
00:13:56,240 --> 00:13:57,920
Speaker 1: second of it. You say, no, no no, no, actually this

236
00:13:57,960 --> 00:14:00,440
Speaker 1: is what really happened. But she is that that answer

237
00:14:00,480 --> 00:14:02,640
Speaker 1: was a masterclass. And we come back, Let's make sure

238
00:14:02,679 --> 00:14:05,079
Speaker 1: that we hit the fetterman trying to talk about football,

239
00:14:05,120 --> 00:14:07,840
Speaker 1: because remember Buck, he said, oh, it's close captioning. That

240
00:14:07,880 --> 00:14:11,120
Speaker 1: was the reason he was having difficulty actually communicating mad

241
00:14:11,360 --> 00:14:12,840
Speaker 1: don't think that you're going to believe that when you

242
00:14:12,840 --> 00:14:14,520
Speaker 1: hear some of this audio a little bit later. But

243
00:14:14,559 --> 00:14:17,679
Speaker 1: the meantime, we live in a global society, and unfortunately,

244
00:14:17,840 --> 00:14:20,200
Speaker 1: what happens in a negative way in a country far

245
00:14:20,240 --> 00:14:23,360
Speaker 1: far away from us can impact us in a massive degree.

246
00:14:23,960 --> 00:14:26,520
Speaker 1: Just think about what happened with COVID. Certainly you can

247
00:14:26,520 --> 00:14:29,120
Speaker 1: think about what has happened right now with what's going

248
00:14:29,160 --> 00:14:31,600
Speaker 1: on in Ukraine in terms of the supply chain issues

249
00:14:31,640 --> 00:14:37,080
Speaker 1: that exist now everywhere. How about you taking care of

250
00:14:37,200 --> 00:14:39,360
Speaker 1: your family right now while you can. This is what

251
00:14:39,400 --> 00:14:42,000
Speaker 1: I did. Look, I've got three boys, I've got a wife.

252
00:14:42,000 --> 00:14:44,440
Speaker 1: There are five of us inside of my house. And

253
00:14:44,680 --> 00:14:48,120
Speaker 1: it was stunning how difficult sometimes it was to find

254
00:14:48,200 --> 00:14:51,040
Speaker 1: the food and supplies that we needed in our local

255
00:14:51,080 --> 00:14:55,120
Speaker 1: grocery stores during COVID, and my wife and I we

256
00:14:55,160 --> 00:14:56,920
Speaker 1: sat back and we talked, and we said, you know what,

257
00:14:57,440 --> 00:15:01,120
Speaker 1: let's make sure that we have food in this house

258
00:15:01,400 --> 00:15:03,840
Speaker 1: that we have stored. They can take care of us

259
00:15:04,160 --> 00:15:07,360
Speaker 1: in the event that we have another cataclysmic like event

260
00:15:07,720 --> 00:15:10,840
Speaker 1: that impacts our ability to go out and get food.

261
00:15:11,840 --> 00:15:15,040
Speaker 1: And that's why I've got three months of emergency food

00:16:09,840 --> 00:16:14,360
Speaker 1: razors edge, very close congressional races that we wanted to

280
00:16:14,400 --> 00:16:18,360
Speaker 1: focus on in these final days because this audience listening

281
00:16:18,360 --> 00:16:20,880
Speaker 1: to this show could be the difference maker in some

282
00:16:21,000 --> 00:16:26,640
Speaker 1: of these districts, and right in the environs of DC

283
00:16:27,040 --> 00:16:32,640
Speaker 1: as Virginia's tenth congressional district, and we have a fantastic

284
00:16:32,640 --> 00:16:36,320
Speaker 1: candidate who's running a very strong race there right now.

285
00:16:36,800 --> 00:16:40,480
Speaker 1: Hung Kow is with us now. He is a retired

286

Speaker 1: forces in Navy Seal Teams, and he has a lot

294
00:17:07,720 --> 00:17:10,120
Speaker 1: what what is this this district that you're running in.

295
00:17:10,560 --> 00:17:12,720
Speaker 1: What is this race coming down to between you and

296
00:17:12,760 --> 00:17:16,240
Speaker 1: your opponent? Obviously you're a resume is super impressive. Why

297
00:17:16,240 --> 00:17:17,800
Speaker 1: are you going to get it done for the folks

298
00:17:17,800 --> 00:17:21,200
Speaker 1: of Virginia's tenth Well, first of all, Virginia's tenth is

299
00:17:21,240 --> 00:17:23,120
Speaker 1: really the cross cover of America. You've got the rural

300
00:17:23,160 --> 00:17:26,160
Speaker 1: part out west, you have the high tech part out

301
00:17:26,200 --> 00:17:29,800
Speaker 1: in the east because all of the data centers run

302
00:17:29,880 --> 00:17:32,120
Speaker 1: through here. You have the veterans. You also have forty

303
00:17:32,119 --> 00:17:35,960
Speaker 1: five percent minority of those forty twenty five percent or

304
00:17:36,000 --> 00:17:39,439
Speaker 1: immigrants like myself. So we are really the bellweather of

305
00:17:39,480 --> 00:17:43,440
Speaker 1: this election and also the twenty twenty four as well. Uh.

306
00:17:43,480 --> 00:17:46,040
Speaker 1: And so that's that's what what I'm representing. It's this, Uh,

307
00:17:46,080 --> 00:17:50,119
Speaker 1: it's Loudon County, the infamous Loudon County that attacks the parents. Uh,

308
00:17:50,160 --> 00:17:52,199
Speaker 1: you know the school boards that attack the parents that

309
00:17:52,280 --> 00:17:56,000
Speaker 1: you have three other counties also that surround us as well.

310
00:17:57,480 --> 00:17:59,800
Speaker 1: What are people caring about the most? As you come

311
00:17:59,840 --> 00:18:04,600
Speaker 1: down the closing stretch here, and we should mention again,

312
00:18:04,680 --> 00:18:08,320
Speaker 1: you've got an incredible bio, and I would imagine maybe

313
00:18:08,320 --> 00:18:10,800
Speaker 1: you can just share a quick snippet on your bio

314
00:18:10,880 --> 00:18:13,560
Speaker 1: for our audience that may not be familiar with you,

315
00:18:13,880 --> 00:18:16,640
Speaker 1: to explain why it is that you decided to jump

316
00:18:16,640 --> 00:18:20,000
Speaker 1: into the fray and run here. Yes, that's a great question,

317
00:18:20,000 --> 00:18:21,680
Speaker 1: because no one should ever want to want to run

318
00:18:21,720 --> 00:18:24,640
Speaker 1: for office. It's an ugly, a dirty job, and it's

319
00:18:24,680 --> 00:18:27,040
Speaker 1: not never been my dream. Honestly, I've never wanted to

320
00:18:27,040 --> 00:18:28,840
Speaker 1: do this, but I feel like I have to do it.

321
00:18:28,880 --> 00:18:31,360
Speaker 1: I mean, I came from Vietnam in nineteen twenty five.

322
00:18:31,520 --> 00:18:33,600
Speaker 1: My parents, you know, my parents had to make the

323
00:18:33,640 --> 00:18:36,880
Speaker 1: hard decision. My mom was literally sewing notes in our

324
00:18:36,920 --> 00:18:39,080
Speaker 1: clothes with a little money, saying this is my son,

325
00:18:39,160 --> 00:18:41,040
Speaker 1: please take care of them in case we get separated.

326
00:18:41,480 --> 00:18:44,120
Speaker 1: We came here and this amazing country gave us all

327
00:18:44,119 --> 00:18:46,960
Speaker 1: the opportunity, and I want to I went to Thomas

328
00:18:47,040 --> 00:18:49,439
Speaker 1: Jefferson High School for sence to technology. It's number one

329
00:18:49,480 --> 00:18:52,200
Speaker 1: high school in the country, or was until the less

330
00:18:52,280 --> 00:18:56,640
Speaker 1: destroyed it with their equity by really bringing down the

331
00:18:57,000 --> 00:19:01,360
Speaker 1: number of Asian students from from some Can we ask

332
00:19:01,400 --> 00:19:03,240
Speaker 1: you about that for a minute too, because I think

333
00:19:03,359 --> 00:19:06,520
Speaker 1: obviously with the Supreme Court case that's going on, you're

334
00:19:06,560 --> 00:19:10,280
Speaker 1: of an Asian background and an immigrant background, so many

335
00:19:10,400 --> 00:19:14,160
Speaker 1: Asian people look too schooling, elite cooling where bucks from?

336
00:19:14,160 --> 00:19:16,240
Speaker 1: In New York City. This has been a major battleground

337
00:19:16,280 --> 00:19:19,280
Speaker 1: northern Virginia Thomas Jefferson High School. As you mentioned too,

338
00:19:19,760 --> 00:19:23,600
Speaker 1: how much of an assault on the meritocracy drives Asian

339
00:19:23,720 --> 00:19:28,000
Speaker 1: immigrants and Asian young families crazy like this when they're

340
00:19:28,000 --> 00:19:30,160
Speaker 1: trying to look for equity as opposed to the most

341
00:19:30,200 --> 00:19:33,760
Speaker 1: skilled students. That's that's the problem, right. I mean, when

342
00:19:33,880 --> 00:19:36,600
Speaker 1: I left Vietnam, my parents taught me that they can

343
00:19:36,600 --> 00:19:38,840
Speaker 1: take away your money. They can take away your position life,

344
00:19:38,840 --> 00:19:40,399
Speaker 1: but they can never take away the knowledge of that

345
00:19:40,880 --> 00:19:44,679
Speaker 1: in your head. So they push education really hard. But

346
00:19:44,800 --> 00:19:48,840
Speaker 1: now the leftist taken that away from us by by saying, well,

347
00:19:48,880 --> 00:19:51,800
Speaker 1: there's too many Asians and Thomas Jefferson, so we're gonna

348
00:19:51,920 --> 00:19:56,000
Speaker 1: make sure other demographics are are represented. And it's driving

349
00:19:56,000 --> 00:19:58,880
Speaker 1: them crazy. And you know, we're Americans. We just want

350
00:19:58,880 --> 00:20:02,480
Speaker 1: to be treated like everybody else. Absolutely, we're speaking of

351
00:20:02,520 --> 00:20:05,840
Speaker 1: hung Kole right now. He is running in Virginia's tenth

352
00:20:05,880 --> 00:20:11,359
Speaker 1: congressional district And what what is the situation? Give us

353
00:20:11,359 --> 00:20:14,760
Speaker 1: the quick dossier on your opponent in this race. I'm wondering,

354
00:20:15,080 --> 00:20:18,480
Speaker 1: are you getting somebody who is all of a sudden, oh,

355
00:20:18,560 --> 00:20:20,479
Speaker 1: I don't know who this Joe Biden guy is. You're

356
00:20:20,480 --> 00:20:23,399
Speaker 1: getting someone who's doubling down on the insurrection. You know,

357
00:20:23,440 --> 00:20:26,399
Speaker 1: what are you up against? Well, she's doubling down on everything.

358
00:20:26,440 --> 00:20:28,720
Speaker 1: I mean, she was the trailblazer when you when you

359
00:20:28,760 --> 00:20:31,639
Speaker 1: talk about soft on crime. When she was a commonwealth attorney,

360
00:20:31,960 --> 00:20:35,919
Speaker 1: she let two rapists go off with just months of

361
00:20:36,119 --> 00:20:39,840
Speaker 1: like two to four months of incarceration. And then you know,

362
00:20:39,880 --> 00:20:43,960
Speaker 1: as a state senator, she basically voted down all these

363
00:20:44,000 --> 00:20:47,000
Speaker 1: bills that would have, you know, protected our children. And

364
00:20:47,080 --> 00:20:49,880
Speaker 1: now she's the co chair of the trance test War.

365
00:20:49,960 --> 00:20:53,040
Speaker 1: So she's paired up with his lady name Elizabeth Guzman,

366
00:20:53,080 --> 00:20:56,959
Speaker 1: who introduced a bill which would would criminalize parents if

367
00:20:56,960 --> 00:21:00,199
Speaker 1: they did not affirm their children's gender based on what

368
00:21:00,240 --> 00:21:03,359
Speaker 1: the schools decided it was. So this is the person

369
00:21:03,359 --> 00:21:06,040
Speaker 1: I'm running against. And she's been the rubber stamp. She's

370
00:21:06,280 --> 00:21:09,119
Speaker 1: voted one hundred percent with Joe Biden, and she's caused

371
00:21:09,119 --> 00:21:12,320
Speaker 1: a lot of the you know, the inflation, and now

372
00:21:12,359 --> 00:21:15,040
Speaker 1: we're going into we are in a recession. We're about

373
00:21:15,080 --> 00:21:17,239
Speaker 1: to go into the depression if we don't change our

374
00:21:17,240 --> 00:21:20,919
Speaker 1: way as very fast. I got a couple of questions

375
00:21:20,920 --> 00:21:23,159
Speaker 1: that are tied here together. You've got five kids, So

376
00:21:23,240 --> 00:21:25,800
Speaker 1: first of all, running for Congress with five kids, we

377
00:21:25,880 --> 00:21:27,800
Speaker 1: have a lot of moms and dads that are running

378
00:21:27,800 --> 00:21:31,480
Speaker 1: out there. You're in the tenth congressional district in Virginia.

379
00:21:31,560 --> 00:21:34,960
Speaker 1: It's going to be close with those five kids. How

380
00:21:35,040 --> 00:21:37,800
Speaker 1: much are you hearing from other dads and moms still

381
00:21:37,800 --> 00:21:40,840
Speaker 1: about the COVID issues, the masking and the connection that

382
00:21:40,840 --> 00:21:43,520
Speaker 1: that has to every other major issue out there. We

383
00:21:43,560 --> 00:21:45,600
Speaker 1: know how much of a motivating factor it was for

384
00:21:45,680 --> 00:21:48,600
Speaker 1: Glenn Junkin. How much is it still a motivating factor

385
00:21:48,640 --> 00:21:52,000
Speaker 1: based on what you're hearing. Oh absolutely, I mean parents

386
00:21:52,000 --> 00:21:54,000
Speaker 1: just want to be their kids to be taught. I

387
00:21:54,040 --> 00:21:56,520
Speaker 1: mean the people that hurt the most during this whole COVID,

388
00:21:56,560 --> 00:21:59,280
Speaker 1: what are the special needs who you know, who needed

389
00:21:59,320 --> 00:22:02,919
Speaker 1: the special at teachers to help them and you know,

390
00:22:02,960 --> 00:22:05,560
Speaker 1: as well as a lot of the minority um you know,

391
00:22:05,960 --> 00:22:08,240
Speaker 1: especially the Hispanic and blacks have been hurt the most

392
00:22:08,600 --> 00:22:11,119
Speaker 1: in this COVID. I mean we've saw the anyap the

393
00:22:11,280 --> 00:22:14,639
Speaker 1: Purport card for Virginia. This was the largest drop in

394
00:22:14,680 --> 00:22:18,240
Speaker 1: the nation for education, you know, the lowest ATT scores

395
00:22:18,240 --> 00:22:22,480
Speaker 1: in thirty years, lowest reading comprehension, and since nineteen ninety.

396
00:22:22,680 --> 00:22:24,600
Speaker 1: We are hurting as a nation. We're going to hurt

397
00:22:24,720 --> 00:22:28,119
Speaker 1: having engineers and doctors and scientists in the future if

398
00:22:28,160 --> 00:22:31,560
Speaker 1: we don't fix this generation. But again, they they then

399
00:22:31,880 --> 00:22:35,000
Speaker 1: they double down and they stage walkouts because they hate

400
00:22:35,040 --> 00:22:39,040
Speaker 1: gun Junkin's um new bill that basically puts all the

401
00:22:39,080 --> 00:22:41,439
Speaker 1: power back into the parents hands. And they call it

402
00:22:41,520 --> 00:22:43,520
Speaker 1: trans bill, but it's not a trans bill. It's it's

403
00:22:43,560 --> 00:22:46,119
Speaker 1: a it's a bill that puts everything back in the

404
00:22:46,160 --> 00:22:50,000
Speaker 1: hands of parents, which is where education and students. Uh,

405
00:22:50,040 --> 00:22:52,560
Speaker 1: you know, the the interests of the students belong in

406
00:22:52,600 --> 00:22:55,600
Speaker 1: the parent hands of the parents. We're speaking to Captain

434
00:24:17,160 --> 00:24:19,280
Speaker 1: But first, I gotta tell you cyber criminals like to

435
00:24:19,280 --> 00:24:22,280
Speaker 1: work silently and without any fanfare on their own. They're

436
00:24:22,400 --> 00:24:25,640
Speaker 1: using their uber smart computer skills try and hack into

437
00:24:25,680 --> 00:24:28,639
Speaker 1: company databases looking for stolen identities they have all the

438
00:24:28,680 --> 00:24:31,520
Speaker 1: time in the world. No one sees them coming. And

439
00:24:31,680 --> 00:24:34,040
Speaker 1: when a cyber hacker can hit pay dirt, that can

440
00:24:34,119 --> 00:24:37,600
Speaker 1: mean a lot of your information boom is out there.

441
00:24:37,680 --> 00:24:41,439

442
00:24:41,440 --> 00:24:45,800

00:24:45,840 --> 00:24:49,280

00:25:51,480 --> 00:25:54,600
Speaker 1: who I believe is right now in the middle of

463
00:25:54,680 --> 00:25:58,680
Speaker 1: a blizzard, if I'm being informed correctly, is Kelly Shabaka.

464
00:25:58,760 --> 00:26:02,360
Speaker 1: She is the Republican candidate in the Alaska Senate race.

465
00:26:02,440 --> 00:26:06,720
Speaker 1: She's trying to replace Lisa Murkowski, despite the fact that

466
00:26:06,800 --> 00:26:10,719
Speaker 1: Mitch McConnell is spending millions and millions of dollars against her.

467
00:26:10,720 --> 00:26:13,520
Speaker 1: And I just want to start right there because I

468
00:26:13,520 --> 00:26:16,119
Speaker 1: think this is such an important part of this story, Kelly,

469
00:26:16,160 --> 00:26:19,800
Speaker 1: and thanks for joining us. How much money has the

470
00:26:19,800 --> 00:26:25,000
Speaker 1: head of the Senate Republican Party effectively spent to try

471
00:26:25,000 --> 00:26:29,960
Speaker 1: to keep you from being elected in favor of Lisa Murkowski,

472
00:26:30,000 --> 00:26:32,440
Speaker 1: who wasn't even willing to vote for Brett Kavanaugh to

473
00:26:32,480 --> 00:26:35,520
Speaker 1: be on the Supreme Court. And great question. Well, it's

474
00:26:35,560 --> 00:26:37,800
Speaker 1: always wonderful to be with you. Thank you for having me.

475
00:26:38,200 --> 00:26:41,560
Speaker 1: He pledged up to nine million dollars. So to give

476
00:26:41,560 --> 00:26:44,960
Speaker 1: you a grasp of this, that's more money spent in

477
00:26:45,040 --> 00:26:48,000
Speaker 1: dark money in our state than both Murkowski and I've

478
00:26:48,040 --> 00:26:52,160
Speaker 1: spent combined in our elections. And when he pledged that money,

479
00:26:52,200 --> 00:26:54,920
Speaker 1: she said, Mitch, you've always been there for me, I'll

480
00:26:54,960 --> 00:26:57,840
Speaker 1: be there for you. So there's this obvious trading of

481
00:26:57,920 --> 00:27:02,280
Speaker 1: favors that's happening, and she's clearly wearing the jersey of

482
00:27:02,560 --> 00:27:06,720
Speaker 1: team McConnell, Team Biden, Team Pelosi. We've got several candidates

483
00:27:06,760 --> 00:27:09,560
Speaker 1: on the ballot for a House and she's endorsed and

484
00:27:09,680 --> 00:27:13,160
Speaker 1: is now campaigning with the only one candidate who will

485
00:27:13,160 --> 00:27:16,040
Speaker 1: caucus with Nancy Pelosi as Speaker of the House. That's

486
00:27:16,080 --> 00:27:19,120
Speaker 1: not good for Alaska or for America. This is somebody

487
00:27:19,119 --> 00:27:22,600
Speaker 1: who's clearly not a Republican. Our Republican Party censured her

488
00:27:23,000 --> 00:27:26,840
Speaker 1: and removed her from membership before I ever announced my candidacy,

489
00:27:27,119 --> 00:27:29,960
Speaker 1: and yet McConnell's throwing all this money behind her because

490
00:27:29,960 --> 00:27:33,560
Speaker 1: she's an obvious dependable vote for the establishment. She's Team DC,

491
00:27:34,200 --> 00:27:37,600
Speaker 1: Team Establishment, controlled and bought and bullied by them, and

492
00:27:37,720 --> 00:27:39,840
Speaker 1: she's not playing for Team Alaska. I think that this

493
00:27:40,040 --> 00:27:42,119
Speaker 1: is a kind of person that the words swamp was

494
00:27:42,160 --> 00:27:45,919
Speaker 1: created for, a career politician who works for the DC insiders,

495
00:27:46,080 --> 00:27:48,680
Speaker 1: not for her constituents. And that's why I'm confident we're

496
00:27:48,680 --> 00:27:51,359
Speaker 1: going to win next Tuesday. And if people want to

497
00:27:51,359 --> 00:27:53,600
Speaker 1: help out and learn more, I'm at Kelly for AKA

498
00:27:53,720 --> 00:27:57,280
Speaker 1: dot com. Okay, so building off that, I just want

499
00:27:57,280 --> 00:28:00,280
Speaker 1: to nine million dollars is a lot of money any where.

500
00:28:00,480 --> 00:28:04,600
Speaker 1: It is an absolute landslide of money in Alaska, given

501
00:28:04,680 --> 00:28:07,120
Speaker 1: as you just said, the size and scope of money

502
00:28:07,160 --> 00:28:10,720
Speaker 1: that's typically spent there not even enough to get nine

503
00:28:10,760 --> 00:28:14,399
Speaker 1: million dollars potentially from Mitch McConnell. They also rigged the

504
00:28:14,480 --> 00:28:18,359
Speaker 1: way that Alaskans vote to protect Lisa Murkowski. I think

505
00:28:18,440 --> 00:28:21,639
Speaker 1: this is important as we're five days out, explained to

506
00:28:21,760 --> 00:28:24,600
Speaker 1: the nation but also to Alaskans what's going on and

507
00:28:24,720 --> 00:28:27,600
Speaker 1: what they need to do to elect you. Yeah, I

508
00:28:27,600 --> 00:28:30,720
Speaker 1: think accurately. It's called the Murkowski voting system. It's her

509
00:28:30,720 --> 00:28:35,439
Speaker 1: allies and campaign staff who were caught in undercover videos

510
00:28:35,480 --> 00:28:40,440
Speaker 1: disclosing that they deceived Alaskan voters by running a ballot

511
00:28:40,480 --> 00:28:42,920
Speaker 1: initiative two years ago saying they would get rid of

512
00:28:43,040 --> 00:28:46,280
Speaker 1: dark money in Alaska. Obviously that didn't happen, and so

513
00:28:46,320 --> 00:28:49,600
Speaker 1: Alaskan's voted for it and ushered in ranked choice. That

514
00:28:49,640 --> 00:28:52,040
Speaker 1: means that we got rid of party primaries. She would

515
00:28:52,040 --> 00:28:55,560
Speaker 1: have lost her seat in a party primary, and instead

516
00:28:55,600 --> 00:28:58,560
Speaker 1: everybody ran against each other. There are four candidates that

517
00:28:58,640 --> 00:29:01,080
Speaker 1: the most votes now go to the unual election. That's

518
00:29:01,120 --> 00:29:04,760
Speaker 1: me Murkowski, a Democrat who only got six percents because

519
00:29:04,760 --> 00:29:08,000
Speaker 1: the Democrats are voting for Murkowski, and then there was

520
00:29:08,040 --> 00:29:10,840
Speaker 1: another candidate who since has suspended his campaign and has

521
00:29:10,920 --> 00:29:13,840
Speaker 1: endorsed me. So functionally, there's three of us on the ballot.

522
00:29:14,240 --> 00:29:17,400
Speaker 1: If I don't cross fifty percent on election night on

523
00:29:17,520 --> 00:29:20,360
Speaker 1: round one, then the fourth and the third candidates, the

524
00:29:20,400 --> 00:29:23,280
Speaker 1: Democrat and the fourth guy, they'll drop off and their

525
00:29:23,320 --> 00:29:26,239
Speaker 1: second place votes, in third place votes, they'll go up

526
00:29:26,240 --> 00:29:29,000
Speaker 1: to me and Murkowski, and whoever has the most votes

527
00:29:29,000 --> 00:29:32,040
Speaker 1: after those rounds, that's how they determine the winner. That's

528
00:29:32,080 --> 00:29:35,000
Speaker 1: what makes this race so close. There's polls are saying

529
00:29:35,000 --> 00:29:38,280
Speaker 1: it's tied fifty fifty because of round two and round three,

530
00:29:38,520 --> 00:29:41,160
Speaker 1: and it's the closest and least expensive Senate race in

531
00:29:41,200 --> 00:29:44,160
Speaker 1: the nation. But we have a really, really good chance

532
00:29:44,160 --> 00:29:46,560
Speaker 1: of winning because I've been out there knocking thousands of

533
00:29:46,560 --> 00:29:49,160
Speaker 1: doors across the State'll be out there today knocking doors

534
00:29:49,560 --> 00:29:52,720
Speaker 1: in this no storm that we're having, and I'm really

535
00:29:52,760 --> 00:29:55,400
Speaker 1: confident that Alaskans are ready for a change. My opponent

536
00:29:55,400 --> 00:29:57,440
Speaker 1: hasn't knocked a single door in twenty one years. She

537
00:29:57,520 --> 00:30:01,880
Speaker 1: prefers to campaign with these dark money from DC. But Alaskans,

538
00:30:01,920 --> 00:30:03,240
Speaker 1: you know, if you've got a finger on the pulse.

539
00:30:03,280 --> 00:30:05,880
Speaker 1: They're ready for a change. They were tired of watching

540
00:30:05,920 --> 00:30:09,280
Speaker 1: politicians to quality of life increase while our cost of

541
00:30:09,320 --> 00:30:12,520
Speaker 1: living increases. We still pay the highest amount for gas

542
00:30:12,520 --> 00:30:14,760
Speaker 1: in the nichetion. Even though we have the chair of

543
00:30:14,760 --> 00:30:17,280
Speaker 1: the Energy Committee for six years, we lost it two

544
00:30:17,360 --> 00:30:19,160
Speaker 1: years ago. She is not in line to get the

545
00:30:19,240 --> 00:30:21,840
Speaker 1: chair of any major committee if she's reelected, and so

546
00:30:21,920 --> 00:30:24,720
Speaker 1: people say it's time for a change. We're speaking of

547
00:30:24,800 --> 00:30:28,479
Speaker 1: Kelly Shabaka. She's running for Senate up in Alaska, and Kelly,

548
00:30:29,520 --> 00:30:32,239
Speaker 1: the first of all, it's I'm sure leaves quite an

549
00:30:32,240 --> 00:30:34,520
Speaker 1: impression to be in the middle of a blizzard, even Alaska,

550
00:30:34,520 --> 00:30:36,280
Speaker 1: the middle of a blizzard, be knocking on doors saying

551
00:30:36,320 --> 00:30:38,280
Speaker 1: I need your vote. I'm sure people will remember that.

552
00:30:39,320 --> 00:30:43,280
Speaker 1: And I'm wondering to what degree you are seeing from

553
00:30:43,280 --> 00:30:47,680
Speaker 1: those interactions with voters in your state on the ground

554
00:30:47,960 --> 00:30:50,520
Speaker 1: version of what the Wall Street Journal has been reporting

555
00:30:50,520 --> 00:30:54,560
Speaker 1: on this week, which is that the monumental swing, the

556
00:30:54,800 --> 00:30:57,760
Speaker 1: huge difference maker. The reason the Democrats are in full

557
00:30:57,800 --> 00:31:02,160
Speaker 1: on panic mode is moms. Moms across the country, moms

558
00:31:02,160 --> 00:31:06,160
Speaker 1: who aren't you know, died in the wool liberals. You know,

559
00:31:06,200 --> 00:31:08,760
Speaker 1: moms who are up for having their minds change are

560
00:31:08,840 --> 00:31:14,400
Speaker 1: going Republican because of COVID, lockdown, school closures, trans ideology

561
00:31:14,640 --> 00:31:18,320
Speaker 1: for young children, CRT, critical race theory. How much of

562
00:31:18,320 --> 00:31:21,320
Speaker 1: that are you coming across in Alaska? And is that

563
00:31:21,720 --> 00:31:24,040
Speaker 1: perhaps a difference maker for you as you're trying to

564
00:31:24,040 --> 00:31:26,280
Speaker 1: close out this race? Really it's funny close out this

565
00:31:26,360 --> 00:31:30,560
Speaker 1: race against Murkowski. Apparently. Yeah. Absolutely, The parents at the

566
00:31:30,600 --> 00:31:33,360
Speaker 1: doors are really concerned and they are making a lot

567
00:31:33,360 --> 00:31:35,600
Speaker 1: of difference. Usually the interaction goes like this. I opened

568
00:31:35,600 --> 00:31:39,080
Speaker 1: the door and there's kids all around, and the parent

569
00:31:39,120 --> 00:31:41,280
Speaker 1: will look at me and kind of give that look.

570
00:31:41,280 --> 00:31:42,480
Speaker 1: And I said, let me guess you don't want to

571
00:31:42,480 --> 00:31:44,440
Speaker 1: talk about politics, and they said that's right, and I

572
00:31:44,520 --> 00:31:48,040
Speaker 1: said me either, And I say, you know, look, I

573
00:31:48,040 --> 00:31:50,720
Speaker 1: got into this race because it's personal this year, and

574
00:31:50,880 --> 00:31:53,680
Speaker 1: this is my first time doing anything political. And that's

575
00:31:53,720 --> 00:31:55,440
Speaker 1: when they really start to listen. I show them the

576
00:31:55,440 --> 00:31:58,520
Speaker 1: picture of my five school aged kids and if I'm

577
00:31:58,520 --> 00:32:01,000
Speaker 1: a parent just like you, and I'm fighting for our future.

578
00:32:01,080 --> 00:32:04,040
Speaker 1: My parents were homeless before I was born. My mom

579
00:32:04,120 --> 00:32:05,760
Speaker 1: got a job on the slope, which is where we

580
00:32:05,840 --> 00:32:08,480
Speaker 1: built the pipeline and that's what got them into the

581
00:32:08,480 --> 00:32:11,160
Speaker 1: working class. They had me and we've had a great life.

582
00:32:11,320 --> 00:32:14,000
Speaker 1: But when I see them shutting down those industries and

583
00:32:14,120 --> 00:32:16,800
Speaker 1: targeting our jobs and now we don't have the funds,

584
00:32:16,800 --> 00:32:19,200
Speaker 1: but we need an Alaska to pay for schools. I said,

585
00:32:19,240 --> 00:32:21,720
Speaker 1: I'm the bus driver, are you because our buses aren't

586
00:32:21,800 --> 00:32:23,360
Speaker 1: running up here and it's not because of the weather.

587
00:32:23,640 --> 00:32:25,040
Speaker 1: And they said, yeah, I've got to take the kids

588
00:32:25,040 --> 00:32:26,840
Speaker 1: to school every day. I said, this has got to stop.

589
00:32:26,880 --> 00:32:29,280
Speaker 1: They're shutting down our schools. They're shutting down our buses.

590
00:32:29,680 --> 00:32:31,840
Speaker 1: Our kids to have a literacy rate of thirty percent

591
00:32:31,880 --> 00:32:34,400
Speaker 1: in Alaska, and our my MOUs proficiency rate hovers around

592
00:32:34,400 --> 00:32:37,040
Speaker 1: that same level. It's time for a change, and if

593
00:32:37,080 --> 00:32:38,719
Speaker 1: we want to see a change, we have to make

594
00:32:38,840 --> 00:32:40,640
Speaker 1: that change. I said, I'm fighting for our future. I

595
00:32:40,720 --> 00:32:42,760
Speaker 1: want our kids to grow up here. I want them

596
00:32:42,800 --> 00:32:45,040
Speaker 1: to have great opportunities and success. And I don't want

597
00:32:45,080 --> 00:32:46,560
Speaker 1: them to shut us down and turn us into a

598
00:32:46,640 --> 00:32:49,920
Speaker 1: national park for Biden and his radical environmentalists. And we

599
00:32:49,960 --> 00:32:52,960
Speaker 1: all have to move. We're not a playground. We're a state,

600
00:32:53,080 --> 00:32:56,120
Speaker 1: and we get self determination and autonomy. And why are

601
00:32:56,120 --> 00:32:58,440
Speaker 1: we being shut down, and they're like absolutely said, I

602
00:32:58,440 --> 00:33:00,720
Speaker 1: appreciate your vote. And that's where a lot of people

603
00:33:00,800 --> 00:33:04,240
Speaker 1: change their minds. Okay, Lisa Murkowski is getting nine million

604
00:33:04,280 --> 00:33:07,720
Speaker 1: dollars from Mitch McConnell. She rigged the voting job system

605
00:33:07,760 --> 00:33:11,120
Speaker 1: there ranked choice so that it's not she hasn't already

606
00:33:11,120 --> 00:33:14,520
Speaker 1: lost the Republican nomination because she would have. She's now

607
00:33:14,680 --> 00:33:19,960
Speaker 1: endorsing a Democrat for the House. She's supporting a Nancy Pelosi. Ally,

608
00:33:20,240 --> 00:33:23,080
Speaker 1: you need to win this election. What is the best

609
00:33:23,120 --> 00:33:26,200
Speaker 1: thing that Alaskans can do to ensure that you win

610
00:33:26,280 --> 00:33:28,320
Speaker 1: the election? What do you need him to do? How

611
00:33:28,320 --> 00:33:31,120
Speaker 1: can they make it happen? Turn out to vote, to

612
00:33:31,160 --> 00:33:33,120
Speaker 1: bring your friends, bring your family, bring her loved one,

613
00:33:33,200 --> 00:33:35,320
Speaker 1: some more people who vote the better. And then on

614
00:33:35,360 --> 00:33:38,800
Speaker 1: the bubble sheet next to Kelly Chebaca, bubble one and

615
00:33:38,840 --> 00:33:41,720
Speaker 1: then move on, keep rank choice simple, Just Kelly Chebaco

616
00:33:41,800 --> 00:33:44,680
Speaker 1: one and move on. And then anyone who wants to

617
00:33:44,680 --> 00:33:47,840
Speaker 1: donate our average donation seventy six dollars. The more ads

618
00:33:47,880 --> 00:33:49,960
Speaker 1: that we can fund in these last couple days, the

619
00:33:50,000 --> 00:33:53,280
Speaker 1: better they absolutely helped change minds. We can let people know.

620
00:33:53,680 --> 00:33:56,400
Speaker 1: Murkowski says, one thing here and does the opposite. In DC,

621
00:33:56,680 --> 00:33:59,320
Speaker 1: she was running paid ads saying Biden's coming to grab

622
00:33:59,360 --> 00:34:02,360
Speaker 1: your guns while she was working with Biden and McConnell

623
00:34:02,640 --> 00:34:05,280
Speaker 1: on the gun control legislation and red flag laws. That

624
00:34:05,400 --> 00:34:07,320
Speaker 1: we need to let more people know that because that

625
00:34:07,400 --> 00:34:09,880
Speaker 1: helps people change their minds and we can turn out

626
00:34:09,880 --> 00:34:12,680
Speaker 1: to vote and win this race. It's absolutely winnable. We're

627
00:34:12,719 --> 00:34:14,920
Speaker 1: not going to stop until November ninth, So if you

628
00:34:14,960 --> 00:34:17,560
Speaker 1: can help, that would really be great. I mean, I'm

629
00:34:17,560 --> 00:34:20,239
Speaker 1: just say it again, Clay dot com, Yeah, I'm sorry, No,

630
00:34:20,520 --> 00:34:23,799
Speaker 1: tell us your website again, Kelly for AKA dot com.

631
00:34:23,800 --> 00:34:25,520
Speaker 1: If you want to donate, thank you. Kelly for AK

632
00:34:25,600 --> 00:34:28,120
Speaker 1: dot com. Is gonna say the the Murkowski vote for

633
00:34:28,120 --> 00:34:33,120
Speaker 1: Brett against Brett Kavanaugh rather completely unacceptable as qualifying done.

634
00:34:33,280 --> 00:34:36,040
Speaker 1: That's it. It's all you have to know, folks. And

635
00:34:36,320 --> 00:34:38,480
Speaker 1: she also joined with the Democrats and trying to still

636
00:34:38,520 --> 00:34:41,200
Speaker 1: a bust her Amy Coney Barrett. Most people don't remember that,

637
00:34:41,560 --> 00:34:44,839
Speaker 1: but then she pushed through Katangi Brown Jackson. I mean,

638
00:34:44,880 --> 00:34:46,960
Speaker 1: if I could fire her multiple times, I would. We're

639
00:34:47,000 --> 00:34:49,359
Speaker 1: just hoping to fire her this time. I think that's

640
00:34:49,400 --> 00:34:51,560
Speaker 1: important though, Kelly, one more time for people out there

641
00:34:51,600 --> 00:34:53,120
Speaker 1: who are voting, because I think a lot of people

642
00:34:53,160 --> 00:34:56,640
Speaker 1: are confused by this ranked choice system. If they want

643
00:34:56,719 --> 00:35:00,400
Speaker 1: you just you don't even rank anybody else the Senate

644
00:35:00,440 --> 00:35:03,880
Speaker 1: at all. Kelly one, that's it. Kelly one, that's it,

645
00:35:03,960 --> 00:35:06,839
Speaker 1: and do not do Kelly is one, two, three, and four.

646
00:35:06,920 --> 00:35:09,279
Speaker 1: The Division of Elections has said they'll throw those out.

647
00:35:09,640 --> 00:35:12,279
Speaker 1: So Kelly won and move on. And remember, in our

648
00:35:12,280 --> 00:35:14,520
Speaker 1: House race, if you don't want to pull for Pelosi,

649
00:35:15,040 --> 00:35:17,760
Speaker 1: you have to rank both Nick and Sarah or Sarah

650
00:35:17,880 --> 00:35:20,520
Speaker 1: Nick whichever order you prefer. And both those candidates are

651
00:35:20,520 --> 00:35:23,560
Speaker 1: saying the same thing. So Kelly won on the Senate ballot,

652
00:35:23,600 --> 00:35:25,520
Speaker 1: and then Nick and Sarah or Sarah Nick on the

653
00:35:25,520 --> 00:35:29,960
Speaker 1: House ballot, and that's how we win both House and Senate. Awesome, Kelly,

654
00:35:30,040 --> 00:35:31,920
Speaker 1: we appreciate it. I can't believe that you have to

655
00:35:32,080 --> 00:35:35,400
Speaker 1: game play now. Basically when it comes to voting in Alaska,

656
00:35:35,440 --> 00:35:39,200
Speaker 1: it's crazy, it is, but where we can win. Alaskans

657
00:35:39,200 --> 00:35:41,279
Speaker 1: are smarter than the dark money that's coming in to

658
00:35:41,360 --> 00:35:44,000
Speaker 1: try and take our elections from us. I am confident

659
00:35:44,040 --> 00:35:46,560
Speaker 1: that we can do this. So Alaskans get out to vote.

660
00:35:46,600 --> 00:35:48,120
Speaker 1: This is going to be a great election. And they're

661
00:35:48,160 --> 00:35:50,160
Speaker 1: going to be reporting about this for years to come

662
00:35:50,160 --> 00:35:52,319
Speaker 1: and wonder how we all did it. But we know

663
00:35:52,360 --> 00:35:55,520
Speaker 1: how we did it. We stuck together, absolutely true. Yep,

664
00:35:56,040 --> 00:35:58,720
Speaker 1: Kelly Schvaka, get it done. Put her in the Senate.

665
00:35:58,800 --> 00:36:02,000
Speaker 1: As our world continues to move faster and faster, it's

666
00:36:02,040 --> 00:36:04,640
Speaker 1: more important than ever to remember where we came from

667
00:36:04,640 --> 00:36:07,200
Speaker 1: and the fun we used to have back in the day.

668
00:36:07,440 --> 00:36:11,400
Speaker 1: As they like to say, nostalgia definitely is powerful. Wouldn't

669
00:36:11,400 --> 00:36:12,560
Speaker 1: it be nice to go back to the good old

670
00:36:12,640 --> 00:36:15,520
Speaker 1: days to yesteryear, even if it's just for an hour

671
00:36:15,719 --> 00:36:18,480
Speaker 1: or two. Legacy Box can help you do that by

00:37:23,760 --> 00:37:28,200
Speaker 1: right now down to North Carolina. Over to North Carolina

691
00:37:28,280 --> 00:37:31,799
Speaker 1: from me doing the show here in Nashville. I want

692
00:37:31,800 --> 00:37:35,600
Speaker 1: to say thanks to our affiliate and Raleigh wt W

693
00:37:35,880 --> 00:37:39,520
Speaker 1: tkk FM. We're number one there also, I believe number

694
00:37:39,520 --> 00:37:44,320
Speaker 1: one in Greensborough, Winston Salem WPTI FM. Also appreciate everybody

695
00:37:44,320 --> 00:37:49,160
Speaker 1: at Greenville, New Berne and Williamston Asheville as well. Lots

696
00:37:49,160 --> 00:37:51,880
Speaker 1: of places listening to us. Right now, we bring in Bohins.

697
00:37:51,920 --> 00:37:57,239
Speaker 1: He's North Carolina's thirteenth Congressional District Republican candidate. He is

698
00:37:57,320 --> 00:38:01,640
Speaker 1: also a former college football player, among other things, meaning

699
00:38:01,640 --> 00:38:05,480
Speaker 1: we overlap in a bunch of different interests. What's it

700
00:38:05,560 --> 00:38:11,359
Speaker 1: like campaigning versus playing high level college football? Bo, how

701
00:38:11,400 --> 00:38:15,120
Speaker 1: would you compare the two? Well, thanks for having me today,

702
00:38:15,120 --> 00:38:17,239
Speaker 1: and I have to tell you know, I imagine the

703
00:38:17,320 --> 00:38:20,319
Speaker 1: last three days of a campaign is very similar to

704
00:38:20,360 --> 00:38:22,480
Speaker 1: being in fall camp, and that's what we've kind of

705
00:38:22,520 --> 00:38:25,160
Speaker 1: likened it to hear, you know, with our campaign team.

706
00:38:25,200 --> 00:38:26,840
Speaker 1: But it's a grin for the last thirty days. But

707
00:38:26,880 --> 00:38:29,280
Speaker 1: it's a lot of fun. You meet so many interesting people,

708
00:38:29,360 --> 00:38:31,640
Speaker 1: You hear so many tremendous stories, and just being out

709
00:38:31,719 --> 00:38:34,960
Speaker 1: on the ground talking with voters is tremendously rewarding. And

710
00:38:35,000 --> 00:38:36,719
Speaker 1: that's something that we've really enjoyed doing here for the

711
00:38:36,719 --> 00:38:38,719
Speaker 1: past really year and a half, but even more so

712
00:38:38,760 --> 00:38:41,960
Speaker 1: over the past thirty days. Bow, What are the people

713
00:38:42,000 --> 00:38:44,200
Speaker 1: that you're speaking to in the district that you want

714
00:38:44,200 --> 00:38:47,280
Speaker 1: to be representing. What are they telling you that people

715
00:38:47,280 --> 00:38:50,239
Speaker 1: across the country need to hear that they want you

716
00:38:50,320 --> 00:38:52,640
Speaker 1: to address. I mean, what are their challenges and what

717
00:38:52,680 --> 00:38:57,240
Speaker 1: are their hopes? Well, you know, I'll say it's economy. Economy, economy.

718
00:38:57,280 --> 00:39:00,640
Speaker 1: People are hurting right now with inflation eight point three percent.

719
00:39:00,760 --> 00:39:04,040
Speaker 1: That's the equivalent of one month's salary for the American people.

720
00:39:04,080 --> 00:39:06,480
Speaker 1: What's unsustainable. We have to rein in you know, the

721
00:39:06,520 --> 00:39:08,319
Speaker 1: price of goods, and you know people are hurting when

722
00:39:08,320 --> 00:39:09,920
Speaker 1: they go to the gas pump, they're hurting when they

723
00:39:09,920 --> 00:39:12,839
Speaker 1: go to the grocery store. Their everyday needs just cost more.

724
00:39:12,840 --> 00:39:14,919
Speaker 1: And we have to get government spending under control, which

725
00:39:15,040 --> 00:39:17,759
Speaker 1: leads to this rampant inflation. I've talked about the first

726
00:39:17,800 --> 00:39:19,279
Speaker 1: thing we need to do in Congress is pass a

727
00:39:19,360 --> 00:39:21,880
Speaker 1: balance budget movement. We have to balance our checkbook, and

728
00:39:22,000 --> 00:39:24,160
Speaker 1: my wife and ice household, and every other American does

729
00:39:24,200 --> 00:39:27,000
Speaker 1: sue in social Congress, and this is just common sense stuff.

730
00:39:27,040 --> 00:39:29,040
Speaker 1: We haven't done that since nineteen ninety five when New

731
00:39:29,080 --> 00:39:32,360
Speaker 1: Gingrich a speaker. But I'm competent with the Republican majority

732
00:39:32,360 --> 00:39:34,360
Speaker 1: and Conservative leadership will be able to do something of

733
00:39:34,400 --> 00:39:37,160
Speaker 1: that nature to and hopefully get government spending under control

734
00:39:37,160 --> 00:39:40,960
Speaker 1: when raining this outrageous inflation. Bo As we're sitting here

735
00:39:41,000 --> 00:39:43,600
Speaker 1: five days out, you get the sense when you're running

736
00:39:43,600 --> 00:39:47,000
Speaker 1: in political campaigns where the momentum is much like again

737
00:39:47,120 --> 00:39:49,480
Speaker 1: from your athletic background, you can tell how a game

738
00:39:49,560 --> 00:39:52,440
Speaker 1: is going sometimes based on how the body language is

739
00:39:52,440 --> 00:39:55,080
Speaker 1: on the field where people are jumping around. Do you

740
00:39:55,120 --> 00:39:57,840
Speaker 1: get the sense that in North Carolina, in your district

741
00:39:57,840 --> 00:40:00,520
Speaker 1: and also in the state, that we are seeing a

742
00:40:00,520 --> 00:40:04,600
Speaker 1: Republican surge, that the Republican red wave is beginning to

743
00:40:05,200 --> 00:40:09,239
Speaker 1: crest five days out? It's it's very palpable. I mean

744
00:40:09,280 --> 00:40:11,280
Speaker 1: you hear every single day when you're talking to voters.

745
00:40:11,280 --> 00:40:14,160
Speaker 1: I've been working early voting locations in the morning, and

746
00:40:14,320 --> 00:40:17,359
Speaker 1: you see Republicans showing up. They're very enthusiastic to vote,

747
00:40:17,360 --> 00:40:20,000
Speaker 1: and we're seeing the results and early voting members already

748
00:40:20,000 --> 00:40:21,920
Speaker 1: coming in. But you know, the big surge is going

749
00:40:21,920 --> 00:40:23,560
Speaker 1: to be on election day. And I'll say this, this

750
00:40:23,640 --> 00:40:26,320
Speaker 1: is one of the most competitive Republican winning seats in

751
00:40:26,360 --> 00:40:28,719
Speaker 1: the country. I think the red wave will start right

752
00:40:28,760 --> 00:40:31,080
Speaker 1: here in North Carolina's thirteenth district and election nights, So

753
00:40:31,200 --> 00:40:33,400
Speaker 1: we need everyone to get out and vote here. Your

754
00:40:33,480 --> 00:40:36,120
Speaker 1: voice matters, your vote matters, and hopefully we can we

755
00:40:36,160 --> 00:40:39,200
Speaker 1: can leave the title. Speaking of Bohines, he's running in

756
00:40:39,200 --> 00:40:43,239
Speaker 1: North Carolina's thirteenth congressional district. What are some of the

757
00:40:43,239 --> 00:40:47,320
Speaker 1: differences between you and your opponent that people who live

758
00:40:47,680 --> 00:40:51,880
Speaker 1: in your district. People who are in the thirteenth what

759
00:40:52,000 --> 00:40:54,839
Speaker 1: do they need to know? Well, you know, I grew

760
00:40:54,920 --> 00:40:57,960
Speaker 1: up in a family of small business owners were we

761
00:40:57,960 --> 00:41:00,200
Speaker 1: weren't involved in the political process for a long time.

762
00:41:00,200 --> 00:41:02,400
Speaker 1: We're not some part of some political dynasty. We were

763
00:41:02,440 --> 00:41:04,040
Speaker 1: just fed up what we saw going on in our

764
00:41:04,080 --> 00:41:06,160
Speaker 1: country and felt like we need to stand up and

765
00:41:06,320 --> 00:41:08,600
Speaker 1: fight back against the radical left that's shifted away in

766
00:41:08,600 --> 00:41:10,799
Speaker 1: our rights for age at the time. You know, my

767
00:41:10,840 --> 00:41:14,160
Speaker 1: opponents from California is a California Democrat that moved to

768
00:41:14,200 --> 00:41:17,280
Speaker 1: North Carolina. He's a defense attorney. He's run for office

769
00:41:17,280 --> 00:41:19,799
Speaker 1: in California, lost out there, decided to run here in

770
00:41:19,800 --> 00:41:22,080
Speaker 1: North Carolina where he thought he might have a better chance.

771
00:41:22,120 --> 00:41:24,520
Speaker 1: But you know, I represent North Carolina values here. I

772
00:41:24,560 --> 00:41:27,440
Speaker 1: represent blue collar workers. We represent hard work people that

773
00:41:27,560 --> 00:41:29,319
Speaker 1: just you know, want to live their lives and keep

774
00:41:29,400 --> 00:41:31,120
Speaker 1: government out of it. And that's what we're fighting for.

775
00:41:31,160 --> 00:41:33,800
Speaker 1: We're fighting for parental rights here to make sure parents

776
00:41:33,840 --> 00:41:36,000
Speaker 1: can decide what their children are taught and in what

777
00:41:36,080 --> 00:41:38,600
Speaker 1: age their taught certain material. We're fighting to reduce crime,

778
00:41:38,640 --> 00:41:41,160
Speaker 1: which has been rampant him not only here in our community,

779
00:41:41,200 --> 00:41:44,000
Speaker 1: but across the country and you see this immense overflow

780
00:41:44,000 --> 00:41:46,359
Speaker 1: of illegal buyers coming to our country, bringing with them

781
00:41:46,600 --> 00:41:48,920
Speaker 1: now drugs and fitting all which is leaving a destruction

782
00:41:48,920 --> 00:41:50,719
Speaker 1: in our community as to the local level, and you know,

783
00:41:50,800 --> 00:41:53,359
Speaker 1: we're fighting to stop that stuff. But most importantly, we're

784
00:41:53,400 --> 00:41:55,680
Speaker 1: fighting to create opportunity for people. And that's something we

785
00:41:55,760 --> 00:41:58,160
Speaker 1: talk about all the time, and that's something we fought

786
00:41:58,160 --> 00:42:00,080
Speaker 1: for in our family with our small business and and

787
00:42:00,080 --> 00:42:01,480
Speaker 1: we look forward to leaving the charge. I'm not here

788
00:42:01,520 --> 00:42:04,480
Speaker 1: in North Carolina, but what can people listening to us

789
00:42:04,560 --> 00:42:08,200
Speaker 1: right now do to ensure that you are elected and that,

790
00:42:08,320 --> 00:42:12,360
Speaker 1: as you said, North Carolina, certainly with poles closing relatively

791
00:42:12,480 --> 00:42:16,080
Speaker 1: early on Tuesday election night, can begin to lead that

792
00:42:16,200 --> 00:42:19,720
Speaker 1: red surge. We'll make sure you get out and vote,

793
00:42:19,719 --> 00:42:21,960
Speaker 1: whether it's earlier, weather Ton election name, make sure you

794
00:42:22,000 --> 00:42:23,840
Speaker 1: show up at the polls, make sure that your voice

795
00:42:23,840 --> 00:42:25,960
Speaker 1: has heard, and grab your friends and family and bring

796
00:42:26,000 --> 00:42:27,920
Speaker 1: them along with you. We need everyone to show up

797
00:42:27,960 --> 00:42:30,360
Speaker 1: and we need to take this country back by storm

798
00:42:30,480 --> 00:42:34,680
Speaker 1: and we have to. And what's your website. It's a

799
00:42:34,840 --> 00:42:37,719
Speaker 1: bow for NC dot com. That's Bote then number four

800
00:42:37,880 --> 00:42:40,000
Speaker 1: NC dot com. You can follow us in social media

801
00:42:40,000 --> 00:42:44,640
Speaker 1: at Bohins, that's Bohin ass or Bohins nc BO. How

802
00:42:44,680 --> 00:42:46,279
Speaker 1: old are you? By the way, I just there's a

803
00:42:46,320 --> 00:42:48,400
Speaker 1: lot of people out there listening in their sixties and

804
00:42:48,480 --> 00:42:51,560
Speaker 1: seventies who are terrified of what the future of America

805
00:42:51,600 --> 00:42:54,160
Speaker 1: is going to look like. Buck and I aren't that old,

806
00:42:54,320 --> 00:42:58,799
Speaker 1: but you're a lot younger than How old are you both?

807
00:43:00,000 --> 00:43:03,879
Speaker 1: I'm twenty seven years old, twenty seven years old. So

808
00:43:04,000 --> 00:43:06,840
Speaker 1: we had Caroline leavitt on who's twenty five, I believe,

809
00:43:06,880 --> 00:43:08,359
Speaker 1: So I know for a lot of people out there

810
00:43:08,360 --> 00:43:12,480
Speaker 1: who are listening, that is just gratifying to hear because

811
00:43:12,920 --> 00:43:15,080
Speaker 1: there are so many people out there terrified of what

812
00:43:15,120 --> 00:43:17,239
Speaker 1: the country is going to be like in twenty years.

813
00:43:17,239 --> 00:43:20,359
Speaker 1: Twenty years, behines only gonna be forty seven. That's that's

814
00:43:20,440 --> 00:43:25,520
Speaker 1: that's still relatively I like to think young. Well, we're

815
00:43:25,520 --> 00:43:27,840
Speaker 1: hoping to lead the charge for the youth movement, especially

816
00:43:27,840 --> 00:43:29,839
Speaker 1: with conservatives. We had a broaden our base and make

817
00:43:29,880 --> 00:43:31,880
Speaker 1: sure we show people that, you know, we're fighting for

818
00:43:31,920 --> 00:43:34,799
Speaker 1: everyone in this country, of all ages, of every background,

819
00:43:34,840 --> 00:43:36,960
Speaker 1: and like we said, you know, the Republican Party should

820
00:43:36,960 --> 00:43:38,760
Speaker 1: be the party of diversity, it should be the party

821
00:43:38,760 --> 00:43:41,040
Speaker 1: that it stands up for what our country was built on.

822
00:43:41,120 --> 00:43:42,799
Speaker 1: I think that's the direction that we're moving in. I

823
00:43:42,800 --> 00:43:45,440
Speaker 1: think it'll benefit they American people long term. Bohines, We're

824
00:43:45,480 --> 00:43:48,719
Speaker 1: gonna be watching your race closely as a bellweather on

825
00:43:48,719 --> 00:43:51,600
Speaker 1: election night. So bring it home for us, buddy running

826
00:43:51,640 --> 00:43:54,960
Speaker 1: into the end zone. Absolutely, Thank you guys so much

827
00:43:54,960 --> 00:43:57,279
Speaker 1: for having me. Thank you look at me with the

828
00:43:58,000 --> 00:44:03,719
Speaker 1: sports analogies you got. John Fetterman apparently also does a

829
00:44:03,719 --> 00:44:06,680
Speaker 1: bit of the football analysis playing you told me this.

830
00:44:09,360 --> 00:44:12,560
Speaker 1: Welcome back, ed Clay Travis buck Sexton Show. We're closing

831
00:44:12,640 --> 00:44:17,680
Speaker 1: out shop right now as we finish off everything that is.

832
00:44:18,560 --> 00:44:20,520
Speaker 1: Five days out from the elections. We go up to

833
00:44:20,520 --> 00:44:22,719
Speaker 1: Ohio now to be joined by j D Vance, who's

834
00:44:22,719 --> 00:44:25,040
Speaker 1: going to be the next Senator from the great state

835
00:44:25,160 --> 00:44:28,479
Speaker 1: of Ohio. And JD. I know you've had this date

836
00:44:28,760 --> 00:44:31,120
Speaker 1: five days from now on a calendar, likely in the

837
00:44:31,160 --> 00:44:34,280
Speaker 1: campaign offices, on your phone calendar for a long time

838
00:44:34,880 --> 00:44:38,560
Speaker 1: as you come down the stretch run. Is it fun?

839
00:44:38,880 --> 00:44:43,000
Speaker 1: Is it exhilarating? Is it sort of unbelievable that it's

840
00:44:43,000 --> 00:44:45,719
Speaker 1: finally here? What does it feel like for you to

841
00:44:45,880 --> 00:44:49,560
Speaker 1: be on the precipice of election night? Yeah, it's it's

842
00:44:49,600 --> 00:44:51,840
Speaker 1: sort of all those things at once. Say, we're you know,

843
00:44:52,040 --> 00:44:54,799
Speaker 1: we're gonna make state wide tour right now, and a

844
00:44:54,800 --> 00:44:57,479
Speaker 1: lot of fun, great energy out there. Yeah, I will

845
00:44:57,480 --> 00:45:01,640
Speaker 1: say it still doesn't quite feel like close to being over. Um.

846
00:45:02,320 --> 00:45:04,680
Speaker 1: You know, I had this this similar feeling during the

847
00:45:04,719 --> 00:45:08,560
Speaker 1: primary where until the votes really start being tabulated, it's

848
00:45:08,560 --> 00:45:11,440
Speaker 1: hard to believe you've reached the endpoint. But man, we're

849
00:45:11,480 --> 00:45:14,319
Speaker 1: having a great time and I'm definitely enjoying myself. Did

850
00:45:14,400 --> 00:45:18,320
Speaker 1: you have a town hall recently? JD just give folks

851
00:45:18,320 --> 00:45:21,040
Speaker 1: some of the some of the after action report on

852
00:45:21,080 --> 00:45:24,840
Speaker 1: that one. Yeah, we did so. So we were originally

853
00:45:24,880 --> 00:45:28,040
Speaker 1: supposed to do a Fox News debate Tim Ryan. I

854
00:45:28,040 --> 00:45:30,279
Speaker 1: guess you know, after the second debate that we did,

855
00:45:30,400 --> 00:45:32,719
Speaker 1: decided to pull out of the debate and just wanted

856
00:45:32,760 --> 00:45:34,880
Speaker 1: to do a town hall, and so we did twenty

857
00:45:34,880 --> 00:45:38,200
Speaker 1: minutes with Tim Ryan, Bret Baar, and Martha McCallan, and

858
00:45:38,239 --> 00:45:41,400
Speaker 1: then twenty minutes with me, and you know, it's I

859
00:45:41,440 --> 00:45:44,400
Speaker 1: thought it was a very very fun. The crowd was great,

860
00:45:44,560 --> 00:45:47,160
Speaker 1: and you know, Tim had to face some tough questions

861
00:45:47,160 --> 00:45:50,160
Speaker 1: from the crowd about his record and how it's inconsistent

862
00:45:50,200 --> 00:45:53,239
Speaker 1: with this this sort of moderate cloak that he's putting on,

863
00:45:54,400 --> 00:45:56,319
Speaker 1: and I thought it very well for us. But you know,

864
00:45:56,360 --> 00:45:59,000
Speaker 1: the thing is when you're when you're ahead and a race,

865
00:45:59,040 --> 00:46:01,640
Speaker 1: and I do think that we're the main thing that

866
00:46:01,680 --> 00:46:03,400
Speaker 1: you want to do is not to fumble the football.

867
00:46:03,440 --> 00:46:06,040
Speaker 1: And so you know, the candidate version of fumbling the

868
00:46:06,040 --> 00:46:08,440
Speaker 1: football is to make a big mistake and say something

869
00:46:08,520 --> 00:46:10,400
Speaker 1: stupid that they can clip and to put into a

870
00:46:10,400 --> 00:46:13,000
Speaker 1: TV ad. And then I think the voter version of

871
00:46:13,000 --> 00:46:14,759
Speaker 1: fumbling the football is not getting out there and not

872
00:46:14,800 --> 00:46:17,000
Speaker 1: getting your friends and family to vote. So that's kind

873
00:46:17,000 --> 00:46:19,080
Speaker 1: of what we're focused on these final five days, is

874
00:46:19,120 --> 00:46:22,120
Speaker 1: just making sure people get to the polls and making

875
00:46:22,120 --> 00:46:23,880
Speaker 1: sure that you know, I don't I don't put my

876
00:46:23,920 --> 00:46:25,320
Speaker 1: foot in my mouth in a way that's going to

877
00:46:25,400 --> 00:46:28,879
Speaker 1: snatch snatch defeat from the and JD. Just to be clear,

878
00:46:28,920 --> 00:46:30,399
Speaker 1: I mean, I know that you're ahead of the polls

879
00:46:30,480 --> 00:46:32,560
Speaker 1: right now, but Clay and I insist on you have

880
00:46:32,719 --> 00:46:35,160
Speaker 1: to trounce your opponent. It's not enough to just win.

881
00:46:35,320 --> 00:46:37,920
Speaker 1: So we want everyone out there to get out YEA

882
00:46:37,960 --> 00:46:41,560
Speaker 1: and vote by a lot to send a message. Absolutely,

883
00:46:41,880 --> 00:46:43,319
Speaker 1: that's what I want to and I want to send

884
00:46:43,320 --> 00:46:44,680
Speaker 1: a message to the media. I want to send a

885
00:46:44,719 --> 00:46:48,160
Speaker 1: message to Joe Biden. And look if the difference between

886
00:46:48,239 --> 00:46:51,840
Speaker 1: a Republican Senate with fifty one senators and a Republican

887
00:46:51,920 --> 00:46:54,560
Speaker 1: Senate with fifty four or fifty five senators where these

888
00:46:54,800 --> 00:46:58,600
Speaker 1: guys just gotta fe lacking is way different because v

889
00:46:58,760 --> 00:47:03,240
Speaker 1: Joe Biden is one. It's on inner policy or immigration stuff.

890
00:47:03,280 --> 00:47:05,680
Speaker 1: If we actually give these guys to beat down that

891
00:47:05,719 --> 00:47:08,839
Speaker 1: they deserve. But that does require every single person to

892
00:47:08,880 --> 00:47:11,120
Speaker 1: get out there and vote all across the country. But

893
00:47:11,120 --> 00:47:14,160
Speaker 1: obviously I'm most focused on Ohio. I know you're most

894
00:47:14,160 --> 00:47:17,520
Speaker 1: focused on Ohio. You mentioned what the majority might look like.

895
00:47:17,719 --> 00:47:20,920
Speaker 1: How much attention are you paying to the overall potential

896
00:47:21,000 --> 00:47:23,920
Speaker 1: for a red wave something that can carry people in

897
00:47:23,960 --> 00:47:29,520
Speaker 1: New Hampshire, in Pennsylvania and Wisconsin, obviously, North Carolina, Georgia, Nevada, Arizona,

898
00:47:29,600 --> 00:47:32,560
Speaker 1: all the battlegrounds out there. How much evidence of that

899
00:47:32,640 --> 00:47:36,960
Speaker 1: are you seeing of a nationalized overall red wave that

900
00:47:37,160 --> 00:47:40,279
Speaker 1: is likely to carry people everywhere, no matter what state

901
00:47:40,320 --> 00:47:44,040
Speaker 1: you're in. Yeah, look, man, I obviously you know certainly

902
00:47:44,040 --> 00:47:48,160
Speaker 1: focused on Ohio. That we did just send you some

903
00:47:48,200 --> 00:47:50,720
Speaker 1: money from our campaign to Don Buldock and New Hampshire

904
00:47:50,760 --> 00:47:52,440
Speaker 1: because I think he's coming on strong and I think

905
00:47:52,440 --> 00:47:55,480
Speaker 1: he'd be a great senator for those in New Hampshire.

906
00:47:55,840 --> 00:47:58,960
Speaker 1: But just from the inside of a campaign, you know,

907
00:47:58,960 --> 00:48:01,440
Speaker 1: obviously you talked to you talk to pollsters, and you

908
00:48:01,480 --> 00:48:03,440
Speaker 1: talk to consultants, and some of them are just on

909
00:48:03,480 --> 00:48:05,880
Speaker 1: your race, but some of them are pulling and working

910
00:48:05,880 --> 00:48:09,080
Speaker 1: on races across the country. I would say three months

911
00:48:09,080 --> 00:48:12,479
Speaker 1: ago people were a little bit worried that things weren't

912
00:48:12,520 --> 00:48:14,200
Speaker 1: going well, but they thought we would still have a

913
00:48:14,200 --> 00:48:16,440
Speaker 1: good November. About a month and a half ago, it

914
00:48:16,520 --> 00:48:18,480
Speaker 1: felt like things were starting to turn in our favor,

915
00:48:18,960 --> 00:48:21,839
Speaker 1: and in a last week it started to become a

916
00:48:21,840 --> 00:48:25,879
Speaker 1: little giddy. And I will say not just our race,

917
00:48:25,960 --> 00:48:29,200
Speaker 1: but races all across the country. There's this sense that

918
00:48:29,280 --> 00:48:32,480
Speaker 1: we're either going to have a great night or like

919
00:48:32,680 --> 00:48:35,759
Speaker 1: a historic night, and you know, either one of those

920
00:48:35,840 --> 00:48:39,279
Speaker 1: is wonderful, but there is a real sense, man, that

921
00:48:39,360 --> 00:48:42,400
Speaker 1: this could really really kip in our favor like nineteen

922
00:48:42,520 --> 00:48:45,439
Speaker 1: ninety four, twenty fourteen style. I certainly hope so, because

923
00:48:45,440 --> 00:48:47,480
Speaker 1: the Democrats do not deserve to get a second shot

924
00:48:47,520 --> 00:48:50,120
Speaker 1: at governing Yeah, there's there's no doubt and Buck and

925
00:48:50,160 --> 00:48:52,200
Speaker 1: I certainly feel that as we talk to people all

926
00:48:52,200 --> 00:48:54,560
Speaker 1: over the nation every day. I just want to follow

927
00:48:54,600 --> 00:48:57,160
Speaker 1: back up with what you said. And General Balduck we

928
00:48:57,200 --> 00:49:00,279
Speaker 1: had him on earlier this week, I believe is making

929
00:49:00,320 --> 00:49:03,000
Speaker 1: a real run and may now be in the lead

930
00:49:03,000 --> 00:49:05,040
Speaker 1: according to the two most recent polls that I've seen

931
00:49:05,040 --> 00:49:07,600
Speaker 1: out in New Hampshire. You actually, as a part of

932
00:49:07,640 --> 00:49:10,799
Speaker 1: your campaign are now supporting him, hoping that he'll be

933
00:49:10,840 --> 00:49:13,200
Speaker 1: a colleague of yours come January. Is is that what

934
00:49:13,239 --> 00:49:16,400
Speaker 1: you were telling us? Yeah, that's exactly right. You know.

935
00:49:16,440 --> 00:49:19,560
Speaker 1: So obviously some of the campaign resources we raise, most

936
00:49:19,560 --> 00:49:21,799
Speaker 1: of it actually can only go to our campaign, but

937
00:49:21,840 --> 00:49:24,279
Speaker 1: then some of it actually can't go to our TV

938
00:49:24,360 --> 00:49:27,520
Speaker 1: advertising at all. It goes into a committee that you

939
00:49:27,560 --> 00:49:29,680
Speaker 1: really can only spend on other people. And we don't

940
00:49:29,719 --> 00:49:31,600
Speaker 1: have a ton of those resources, but we have enough

941
00:49:31,600 --> 00:49:33,600
Speaker 1: to help a few candidates out, and so we've definitely

942
00:49:34,080 --> 00:49:36,520
Speaker 1: been trying to pick some good races where we think

943
00:49:36,760 --> 00:49:39,560
Speaker 1: some money could be helpful. Obviously, if folks want to

944
00:49:39,560 --> 00:49:42,400
Speaker 1: support us directly, jd vance dot com is the place

945
00:49:42,480 --> 00:49:44,600
Speaker 1: to do it. And I will say, look, I feel

946
00:49:44,600 --> 00:49:46,480
Speaker 1: good about our race, but we really can't let our

947
00:49:46,480 --> 00:49:49,319
Speaker 1: foot off the gas here. And you know those all

948
00:49:49,360 --> 00:49:53,440
Speaker 1: important undecided voters who could decide this election, especially if

949
00:49:53,440 --> 00:49:57,359
Speaker 1: it gets tight down the stretch here, Those voters really

950
00:49:57,400 --> 00:49:59,680
Speaker 1: do respond to TV advertising. So I'd encourage people to

951
00:49:59,680 --> 00:50:01,879
Speaker 1: help us out and help everybody else out as well.

952
00:50:02,280 --> 00:50:06,560
Speaker 1: How much money JD have the coastal elites thrown to

953
00:50:06,640 --> 00:50:09,000
Speaker 1: your opponent? I mean, I've mentioned this a few times

954
00:50:09,000 --> 00:50:11,640
Speaker 1: on the show because it was so jaw dropping. Clay

955
00:50:11,680 --> 00:50:14,440
Speaker 1: pulled together the data earlier in the week on the

956
00:50:14,520 --> 00:50:20,080
Speaker 1: Stacey Abrams and Beto O'Rourke gubernatorial races, which are going

957
00:50:20,120 --> 00:50:23,040
Speaker 1: to be both lost by probably double digits. We're close

958
00:50:23,080 --> 00:50:25,480
Speaker 1: to double digits in both cases. One hundred and fifty

959
00:50:25,520 --> 00:50:28,040
Speaker 1: million dollars spent and a ton of that money coming

960
00:50:28,080 --> 00:50:31,000
Speaker 1: from New York in California, because Santa Monica should pick

961
00:50:31,000 --> 00:50:33,680
Speaker 1: the governor of Georgia. Obviously. What's it been like in

962
00:50:33,719 --> 00:50:38,120
Speaker 1: your state? Yeah, So my understanding is that Tim Ryan,

963
00:50:38,239 --> 00:50:41,440
Speaker 1: my Democrat opponent, and John Sedderman, of course, the guy

964
00:50:41,440 --> 00:50:46,880
Speaker 1: in Pennsylvania, very well spoken senator Senate candidate in Pennsylvania.

965
00:50:47,200 --> 00:50:52,400
Speaker 1: They're the two best fundraisers in the entire National Democratic

966
00:50:52,400 --> 00:50:54,680
Speaker 1: Party right now. So I think if Tim Ryan by

967
00:50:54,680 --> 00:50:56,920
Speaker 1: the end of this race, I think he's race probably

968
00:50:56,960 --> 00:51:01,360
Speaker 1: sixty plus, he'll probably hit well over seventy by Tuesday.

969
00:51:01,560 --> 00:51:04,279
Speaker 1: And again, all of that has gone into TV advertising

970
00:51:04,280 --> 00:51:06,719
Speaker 1: where he pretends to be somebody that he's not, you know,

971
00:51:06,800 --> 00:51:09,440
Speaker 1: says that he supports the police even though he voted

972
00:51:09,440 --> 00:51:11,800
Speaker 1: to strip them of their legal protections, even though he

973
00:51:11,920 --> 00:51:14,680
Speaker 1: voted a band gas powered cars and wants to end fracking.

974
00:51:14,760 --> 00:51:17,360
Speaker 1: Says that he's pro energy independence and that's why the

975
00:51:17,360 --> 00:51:19,120
Speaker 1: money really does matter. I mean, I never got this

976
00:51:19,280 --> 00:51:22,800
Speaker 1: until I was a candidate, but those all important undecided voters.

977
00:51:22,800 --> 00:51:24,840
Speaker 1: That's one of the ways you reach them. Certainly the

978
00:51:24,920 --> 00:51:28,120
Speaker 1: media isn't helping us out, but those advertisements from the

979
00:51:28,120 --> 00:51:30,799
Speaker 1: Democrats have been effective. And one of the reasons why

980
00:51:30,800 --> 00:51:33,040
Speaker 1: I feel so good about our race now is we've

981
00:51:33,080 --> 00:51:36,319
Speaker 1: really beaten that stuff back in the last couple of months. JD.

982
00:51:36,400 --> 00:51:38,520
Speaker 1: Do you watch all the negative ads, like do you

983
00:51:38,560 --> 00:51:41,800
Speaker 1: sit on your campaign bus or sitting campaign headquarters between

984
00:51:41,840 --> 00:51:45,600
Speaker 1: meetings and events and actually watch everything they say about

985
00:51:45,600 --> 00:51:48,920
Speaker 1: you or not? I'm just curious. I don't know the answer. No,

986
00:51:49,080 --> 00:51:51,919
Speaker 1: I'm not a psychopath, So I try not to see

987
00:51:52,000 --> 00:51:55,799
Speaker 1: and watch and read every negative thing they say about me. Man,

988
00:51:55,920 --> 00:51:58,120
Speaker 1: I think you would go crazy if you just solve

989
00:51:58,280 --> 00:52:01,120
Speaker 1: everything negative. I mean sometimes like I'm a big sports guy,

990
00:52:01,200 --> 00:52:05,120
Speaker 1: especially college football, and so you know, during a Buckey's game,

991
00:52:05,160 --> 00:52:07,200
Speaker 1: you'll see a negative ad come on about you. And

992
00:52:07,480 --> 00:52:09,080
Speaker 1: it's kind of funny when you're hanging out with your

993
00:52:09,080 --> 00:52:11,239
Speaker 1: buddies and and they're like, oh, there there you are, JD.

994
00:52:11,320 --> 00:52:14,319
Speaker 1: There's your fat head on TV getting text. But JD,

995
00:52:14,480 --> 00:52:16,239
Speaker 1: what's your site? Because we got we got to get

996
00:52:16,239 --> 00:52:18,120
Speaker 1: pedal to the metal here and we got fifteen seconds.

997
00:52:18,120 --> 00:52:21,239
Speaker 1: Where do people go? Yeah, jdvans dot com. Thanks guys,

998
00:52:21,280 --> 00:52:24,480
Speaker 1: I appreciate it. You're the man, JD. Thank you, Clay.

999
00:52:24,920 --> 00:52:28,279
Speaker 1: Just days away, Man, Tomorrow's Friday. We're gonna lose it up.

1000
00:52:28,560 --> 00:52:30,960
Speaker 1: We're gonna tell everybody what's what. We're gonna have a

1001
00:52:30,960 --> 00:52:35,000
Speaker 1: good time. And I'm the day party told the Red

1002
00:52:35,120 --> 00:52:40,120
Speaker 1: Tsunami Buck. Four days tomorrow, count them
