1 00:00:01,360 --> 00:00:04,120 Speaker 1: You're in the freedom hunt. This is the Buck Sexton 2 00:00:04,200 --> 00:00:07,520 Speaker 1: Show podcast. Get more from Buck by following him on 3 00:00:07,600 --> 00:00:11,440 Speaker 1: social media at Buck Sexton on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram. 4 00:00:12,360 --> 00:00:17,640 Speaker 1: The damage they do will be permanent and will be irreversible. 5 00:00:19,079 --> 00:00:22,000 Speaker 1: Can't let it happen. Nothing and no one will be 6 00:00:22,040 --> 00:00:26,720 Speaker 1: able to stop them. These Senate seats are truly the 7 00:00:26,840 --> 00:00:31,480 Speaker 1: last line of defense. Now, I must preface that by saying, 8 00:00:31,480 --> 00:00:37,640 Speaker 1: because they'll say he just conceded. No, no, So we 9 00:00:37,760 --> 00:00:41,760 Speaker 1: have quite an important race today determining control of the 10 00:00:41,800 --> 00:00:44,680 Speaker 1: United States senators. You know, Republicans already have fifty seats, 11 00:00:45,040 --> 00:00:48,080 Speaker 1: Democrats have forty eight seats. There are two Senate seats 12 00:00:48,080 --> 00:00:51,080 Speaker 1: in play because there was no one who got more 13 00:00:51,080 --> 00:00:55,080 Speaker 1: than fifty percent in the election, so that forces a runoff. 14 00:00:56,120 --> 00:01:01,840 Speaker 1: And now we have this battle between these candidates playing 15 00:01:01,840 --> 00:01:08,039 Speaker 1: out with the whole country watching very closely because so 16 00:01:08,160 --> 00:01:11,360 Speaker 1: much is at stake. You got us off hoping to 17 00:01:11,520 --> 00:01:16,240 Speaker 1: defeat per Due. You have war knock up against Kelly Leffler, 18 00:01:17,400 --> 00:01:20,360 Speaker 1: and many people now sitting around wondering what would happen? 19 00:01:20,800 --> 00:01:24,280 Speaker 1: I mean, the President even understands the stakes here. What 20 00:01:24,360 --> 00:01:27,920 Speaker 1: would happen if the Democrats had uncontroled, well, I shouldn't 21 00:01:27,920 --> 00:01:32,560 Speaker 1: say uncontested, but majority control. Hopefully we'll contest it no 22 00:01:32,560 --> 00:01:36,959 Speaker 1: matter what majority control in the House, the Senate, and 23 00:01:36,959 --> 00:01:39,720 Speaker 1: and of course having the presidency as well. What are 24 00:01:39,720 --> 00:01:42,399 Speaker 1: the kinds of things that they would do. Often we 25 00:01:42,480 --> 00:01:45,360 Speaker 1: talk about politics in more general terms, perhaps even we 26 00:01:45,440 --> 00:01:50,280 Speaker 1: focus in on things that are more theoretically impactful, that 27 00:01:50,360 --> 00:01:54,400 Speaker 1: are more a question of what is best, what is right, 28 00:01:54,480 --> 00:01:59,760 Speaker 1: but not necessarily what will affect you the control of 29 00:01:59,760 --> 00:02:02,680 Speaker 1: this Senate, especially when you take into account the very 30 00:02:02,760 --> 00:02:06,520 Speaker 1: high likelihood that Joe Biden and Kamala Harris, the ninety 31 00:02:06,600 --> 00:02:09,359 Speaker 1: nine point nine percent likelihood that they're going to be 32 00:02:09,919 --> 00:02:12,200 Speaker 1: the president and vice president of the United States in 33 00:02:12,200 --> 00:02:15,840 Speaker 1: just a matter of weeks. Here the Senate is as 34 00:02:15,840 --> 00:02:19,240 Speaker 1: the president as our current president. Trump pointed out the 35 00:02:19,360 --> 00:02:24,840 Speaker 1: last line of defense, and if you have Harris and Biden, gosh, 36 00:02:24,880 --> 00:02:26,440 Speaker 1: I didn't mean to say it in that order, but 37 00:02:27,160 --> 00:02:30,720 Speaker 1: seems right, doesn't it. Increasingly this will look like a 38 00:02:30,760 --> 00:02:35,000 Speaker 1: Harris presidency with this guy named Joe Biden who's hanging 39 00:02:35,040 --> 00:02:37,400 Speaker 1: out the Oval office but not really calling the shots. 40 00:02:37,440 --> 00:02:40,920 Speaker 1: That's my prediction. But if they don't have the Senate. 41 00:02:41,400 --> 00:02:43,919 Speaker 1: They're not able to do the same kind of long 42 00:02:44,040 --> 00:02:47,120 Speaker 1: term damage, and they're much less likely to be able 43 00:02:47,160 --> 00:02:50,960 Speaker 1: to do damage that will affect you. Here's what they're 44 00:02:51,000 --> 00:02:54,880 Speaker 1: not telling you. Here's what you're not hearing about what 45 00:02:54,960 --> 00:02:59,120 Speaker 1: this will influence. If we have Democrats in control of 46 00:02:59,160 --> 00:03:02,040 Speaker 1: the House, the Senate, and the White House, you will 47 00:03:02,080 --> 00:03:07,000 Speaker 1: see a major increase in taxes. You will see an 48 00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:10,400 Speaker 1: effort to try and come up with a public option, 49 00:03:11,280 --> 00:03:13,880 Speaker 1: which will expand the one thing. Do you know what 50 00:03:14,040 --> 00:03:17,400 Speaker 1: drives most states deep into the red unions? Do you 51 00:03:17,440 --> 00:03:20,520 Speaker 1: know what the single biggest budget item is that pushes 52 00:03:20,560 --> 00:03:23,800 Speaker 1: states into debt and then causes more borrowing, and then 53 00:03:23,800 --> 00:03:28,880 Speaker 1: there's interest payments, which means, guess what more tax on 54 00:03:28,919 --> 00:03:34,160 Speaker 1: all of you. It is Medicaid. It is the government's 55 00:03:34,200 --> 00:03:38,480 Speaker 1: idea of providing healthcare for people at a certain income level. 56 00:03:39,040 --> 00:03:42,080 Speaker 1: That's the single biggest driver of state debt. Do you 57 00:03:42,160 --> 00:03:45,160 Speaker 1: think that a public option is going to be a 58 00:03:45,200 --> 00:03:48,760 Speaker 1: plan that people will want to be on. The only 59 00:03:48,760 --> 00:03:51,120 Speaker 1: way that happens is if they're getting a much better deal. 60 00:03:51,120 --> 00:03:53,440 Speaker 1: They're getting much more out of it than they pay 61 00:03:53,520 --> 00:03:56,240 Speaker 1: into it, and that's going to drive up the cost 62 00:03:56,360 --> 00:03:58,280 Speaker 1: of healthcare for everyone else, because you're going to be 63 00:03:58,320 --> 00:04:02,480 Speaker 1: subsidizing that public option, like your taxes currently pay for Medicaid. 64 00:04:02,960 --> 00:04:05,240 Speaker 1: So that's one thing they'll definitely do that. I mean, 65 00:04:05,280 --> 00:04:08,480 Speaker 1: that's a given. There'll be environmental policies, There'll be an 66 00:04:08,480 --> 00:04:11,200 Speaker 1: increase in the corporate tax rate to whatever it will be, 67 00:04:11,200 --> 00:04:15,040 Speaker 1: twenty eight percent or thirty percenter, who knows, which means 68 00:04:15,040 --> 00:04:16,760 Speaker 1: that you'll see a decline in the stock market, you'll 69 00:04:16,760 --> 00:04:19,800 Speaker 1: see decline in your four oh one ks, Hiring will 70 00:04:19,839 --> 00:04:22,440 Speaker 1: go down just at a point when we could see 71 00:04:23,480 --> 00:04:26,480 Speaker 1: a major economic recovery. And we can tell based on 72 00:04:26,480 --> 00:04:29,760 Speaker 1: what's already happened this year under Trump, that there is 73 00:04:29,800 --> 00:04:31,599 Speaker 1: a lot of cash on the sidelines. There a lot 74 00:04:31,640 --> 00:04:34,360 Speaker 1: of people just waiting, just waiting for that green light 75 00:04:34,440 --> 00:04:37,000 Speaker 1: for the economy to open back up again post COVID, 76 00:04:37,760 --> 00:04:42,400 Speaker 1: and there'll be a flurry, a frenzy of productive wealth 77 00:04:42,640 --> 00:04:47,880 Speaker 1: creation for Americans all across the country. That can happen. 78 00:04:47,960 --> 00:04:51,120 Speaker 1: But if you have these Democrats able to do whatever 79 00:04:51,160 --> 00:04:56,720 Speaker 1: they want without Republicans having a majority in any and 80 00:04:56,880 --> 00:05:01,200 Speaker 1: any aspect of the rulemaking and implement part of the 81 00:05:01,240 --> 00:05:03,680 Speaker 1: government right, if they have the White House and the 82 00:05:03,760 --> 00:05:07,320 Speaker 1: Congress all locked up. They're going to do whatever they want. 83 00:05:08,200 --> 00:05:11,120 Speaker 1: So those are things that will absolutely happen, and then 84 00:05:11,120 --> 00:05:13,320 Speaker 1: we get into the what could happen? Now, we get 85 00:05:13,320 --> 00:05:17,800 Speaker 1: into the what if things get really bad? And for 86 00:05:17,839 --> 00:05:20,039 Speaker 1: that I would just bring you to the long term 87 00:05:20,160 --> 00:05:24,479 Speaker 1: structural changes that Democrats can go for right away. They 88 00:05:24,520 --> 00:05:27,839 Speaker 1: are already talking about and they're still doing it going 89 00:05:27,920 --> 00:05:30,880 Speaker 1: right into an election. Here they're talking about statehood for 90 00:05:31,000 --> 00:05:34,920 Speaker 1: DC and Puerto Rico, which would add four United States senators, 91 00:05:34,920 --> 00:05:37,560 Speaker 1: which means they're going to have a Senate majority for 92 00:05:37,600 --> 00:05:40,640 Speaker 1: the next let's say decade or two. And that's really 93 00:05:40,680 --> 00:05:43,840 Speaker 1: just baked into the cake. That's all done. If they 94 00:05:43,880 --> 00:05:46,520 Speaker 1: do that, they're going to try to pack the courts. 95 00:05:46,520 --> 00:05:48,599 Speaker 1: They will, I shouldn't say try. They will pack the 96 00:05:48,640 --> 00:05:51,480 Speaker 1: courts with activists. They'll pack the courts with people who 97 00:05:51,520 --> 00:05:53,920 Speaker 1: think that you should say amen and a women, you 98 00:05:53,960 --> 00:05:57,200 Speaker 1: know it. They'll pack the courts with social justice warriors, 99 00:05:57,440 --> 00:06:01,960 Speaker 1: with those who are so brainwashed by wokeness and political 100 00:06:02,000 --> 00:06:04,480 Speaker 1: correctness that the law will not matter because they see 101 00:06:04,520 --> 00:06:09,440 Speaker 1: a greater justice in diversity and inclusion efforts than anything 102 00:06:09,480 --> 00:06:13,920 Speaker 1: actually written in statute or the Constitution. They'll have judges 103 00:06:14,000 --> 00:06:18,159 Speaker 1: that reject science while claiming to embrace it on issues 104 00:06:18,200 --> 00:06:20,320 Speaker 1: of the right to life in the womb. They'll put 105 00:06:20,400 --> 00:06:24,120 Speaker 1: judges forward that will make sure that your liberty is 106 00:06:24,880 --> 00:06:28,919 Speaker 1: only at the whim of the state. There's no freedom, 107 00:06:28,920 --> 00:06:32,520 Speaker 1: there's no protection that you have. When some Democrat demogogue 108 00:06:32,520 --> 00:06:35,440 Speaker 1: comes along and says, oh, but this is really important, 109 00:06:35,839 --> 00:06:38,880 Speaker 1: Oh but COVID means that the constitution no longer counts. 110 00:06:39,400 --> 00:06:43,520 Speaker 1: The left is all on board with an ideology of 111 00:06:43,560 --> 00:06:46,600 Speaker 1: the eradication of your rights when they think it's convenient, 112 00:06:46,600 --> 00:06:48,960 Speaker 1: when they think it's necessary. There is no right that 113 00:06:49,080 --> 00:06:53,000 Speaker 1: you have that the state cannot violate, including just the 114 00:06:53,160 --> 00:06:56,080 Speaker 1: right to a fair trial, the right to not be 115 00:06:56,160 --> 00:06:59,880 Speaker 1: detained for no reason. The most basic kinds of justice 116 00:07:00,279 --> 00:07:03,960 Speaker 1: are under assault in the COVID era. You have things 117 00:07:04,000 --> 00:07:07,000 Speaker 1: like the bill in New York statele they'll be able 118 00:07:07,040 --> 00:07:09,240 Speaker 1: to detain you because you're considered a public health risk. 119 00:07:09,520 --> 00:07:11,680 Speaker 1: Who determines whether you're a public health risk? The people 120 00:07:11,720 --> 00:07:14,440 Speaker 1: in charge. How do you even get to fight that? 121 00:07:14,680 --> 00:07:17,800 Speaker 1: You don't They can just take you now. Whatever happened 122 00:07:17,800 --> 00:07:21,360 Speaker 1: to habeas corpus, whatever happened to due process, Democrats are 123 00:07:21,400 --> 00:07:23,960 Speaker 1: abandoning all this. But we're not paying attention to that 124 00:07:24,120 --> 00:07:27,040 Speaker 1: as a country, are we. No. No, We're supposed to 125 00:07:27,080 --> 00:07:30,080 Speaker 1: focus on Trump's phone call in Georgia. Oh my gosh. 126 00:07:30,120 --> 00:07:34,200 Speaker 1: Impeach him again. Impeach him for what exactly. The President 127 00:07:34,240 --> 00:07:37,480 Speaker 1: believes that the election was stolen from him. He thinks 128 00:07:37,520 --> 00:07:42,280 Speaker 1: that Raffensburger is an incompetent buffoon, and he is, so 129 00:07:42,320 --> 00:07:44,760 Speaker 1: he doesn't trust Raffensburger's word when he says, oh, no, 130 00:07:44,880 --> 00:07:47,920 Speaker 1: you have the wrong numbers. And once again they're telling 131 00:07:48,000 --> 00:07:49,840 Speaker 1: us the President, because of what he said on a 132 00:07:49,880 --> 00:07:54,119 Speaker 1: phone call, should be impeached, and I suppose removed, because 133 00:07:54,160 --> 00:07:57,240 Speaker 1: it's never enough for them. It wouldn't be enough even 134 00:07:57,240 --> 00:08:01,000 Speaker 1: if Trump were removed from office at this very late 135 00:08:01,080 --> 00:08:04,120 Speaker 1: stage and then prosecuted, they would still feel like Trump 136 00:08:04,200 --> 00:08:08,600 Speaker 1: got off easy. And this is what we are up 137 00:08:08,600 --> 00:08:10,880 Speaker 1: against with these Democrats. And that's why I want to 138 00:08:10,880 --> 00:08:15,840 Speaker 1: tell you. In the same way that Trump turned around 139 00:08:16,880 --> 00:08:19,680 Speaker 1: the idea of fake news on the Lib media. One 140 00:08:19,680 --> 00:08:23,640 Speaker 1: of the great things about trumps um has been his willingness, 141 00:08:23,680 --> 00:08:29,680 Speaker 1: his ability, his tenacity in fighting back against the fake 142 00:08:29,760 --> 00:08:32,560 Speaker 1: news media. He turned the term around on them, and 143 00:08:32,600 --> 00:08:36,600 Speaker 1: they absolutely hated it because remember in the early days, 144 00:08:36,840 --> 00:08:39,040 Speaker 1: they were saying that fake news was the only reason 145 00:08:39,120 --> 00:08:42,960 Speaker 1: people wanted to vote for Donald Trump. It's because Trump 146 00:08:43,040 --> 00:08:47,680 Speaker 1: voters were such easily fooled imbeciles that they could see 147 00:08:47,720 --> 00:08:49,680 Speaker 1: things on the Internet that weren't true and say, yeah, 148 00:08:49,679 --> 00:08:52,319 Speaker 1: I'm gonna vote for Trump. That was what fake news 149 00:08:52,400 --> 00:08:54,920 Speaker 1: was supposed to be. Then Trump said, no, you the 150 00:08:54,960 --> 00:08:59,679 Speaker 1: mainstream media, you are the fake news. You lie, you 151 00:09:00,080 --> 00:09:03,240 Speaker 1: lie about things and pretend that you are the truth tellers, 152 00:09:03,320 --> 00:09:05,720 Speaker 1: which makes it even worse. And they hated that. They 153 00:09:05,720 --> 00:09:08,400 Speaker 1: hated it because he turned it around. Well, I say 154 00:09:08,400 --> 00:09:12,320 Speaker 1: that we borrow from them once again. It is time 155 00:09:12,400 --> 00:09:17,520 Speaker 1: for the hashtag resistance, and I this will drive them mad. 156 00:09:17,600 --> 00:09:19,839 Speaker 1: Remember this. In the beginning, the very earliest days of 157 00:09:19,880 --> 00:09:23,760 Speaker 1: the Trump presidency, they said that they were going to resist, 158 00:09:23,920 --> 00:09:30,520 Speaker 1: and they were explicit comparisons between the French larisistance fighting 159 00:09:30,559 --> 00:09:35,480 Speaker 1: against occupied Nazi rule. That was what they were trying. 160 00:09:35,480 --> 00:09:39,559 Speaker 1: They're trying to create this comparison between them and the 161 00:09:39,600 --> 00:09:43,760 Speaker 1: fighters of fascism. Well, this time around, when we know 162 00:09:43,800 --> 00:09:48,160 Speaker 1: who the true fascist impulse comes from, where we know 163 00:09:48,200 --> 00:09:51,280 Speaker 1: who the real authoritarians are the Democrat Party and the left. 164 00:09:51,120 --> 00:09:55,240 Speaker 1: I say we take a page from their playbook. We 165 00:09:55,360 --> 00:09:58,560 Speaker 1: resist at every stage. The Senate would give us a 166 00:09:58,640 --> 00:10:03,840 Speaker 1: very powerful tool in process, but also Trump appointed judges 167 00:10:03,960 --> 00:10:06,480 Speaker 1: should hold to the law, because by doing that they'll 168 00:10:06,520 --> 00:10:13,120 Speaker 1: be sufficiently problematic for the authoritarian left, and so therefore 169 00:10:13,120 --> 00:10:16,680 Speaker 1: that will become another avenue of resistance. We resist, and 170 00:10:16,840 --> 00:10:22,760 Speaker 1: this Georgia Senate battle today is an important peace in 171 00:10:22,840 --> 00:10:27,280 Speaker 1: all of that. If we have a Senate majority, we're 172 00:10:27,320 --> 00:10:33,400 Speaker 1: able to stifle stimy, hobble the agenda of Biden, Harris 173 00:10:34,200 --> 00:10:38,440 Speaker 1: and the left wing Libs, we can effectively make them 174 00:10:39,520 --> 00:10:43,400 Speaker 1: inept more so than they would already be. That's what's 175 00:10:43,400 --> 00:10:45,960 Speaker 1: at stake today. I certainly hope that anybody listening to 176 00:10:46,000 --> 00:10:47,640 Speaker 1: this in Georgia, and I know there are many of you. 177 00:10:47,679 --> 00:10:49,520 Speaker 1: I certainly hope that people listening to this who are 178 00:10:49,960 --> 00:10:53,080 Speaker 1: legally able to and still can vote, and we're expecting 179 00:10:53,240 --> 00:10:57,200 Speaker 1: massive turnout today from Republicans. Early voting tends to go 180 00:10:57,400 --> 00:10:59,880 Speaker 1: the Democrats way, but this time around, I'm hoping republic 181 00:11:01,000 --> 00:11:04,559 Speaker 1: show just what turnout on election day really means. The 182 00:11:04,679 --> 00:11:09,880 Speaker 1: stakes are indeed very high. They're high for you the 183 00:11:09,920 --> 00:11:13,160 Speaker 1: Georgia Senate seats in play right now will determine how 184 00:11:13,240 --> 00:11:15,400 Speaker 1: much money you have in your bank account. At some 185 00:11:15,520 --> 00:11:19,760 Speaker 1: level a year from now, it will determine what kind 186 00:11:19,760 --> 00:11:23,440 Speaker 1: of healthcare options you have, what kind of environmental regulations 187 00:11:23,480 --> 00:11:26,160 Speaker 1: you live under, and perhaps whether or not you can 188 00:11:26,240 --> 00:11:28,960 Speaker 1: even have the option of voting for a Republican party 189 00:11:29,360 --> 00:11:32,240 Speaker 1: that has a realistic shot of taking back power at 190 00:11:32,280 --> 00:11:34,720 Speaker 1: the national level. Those are the kind of things that 191 00:11:34,800 --> 00:11:38,640 Speaker 1: are on the ballot. As they say, the radicalism of 192 00:11:38,720 --> 00:11:42,360 Speaker 1: the left needs to be defeated, and at a minimum, 193 00:11:43,120 --> 00:11:45,640 Speaker 1: at a minimum, we need to have tools like a 194 00:11:45,760 --> 00:11:52,040 Speaker 1: Senate majority and an emboldened Republican base that's willing to 195 00:11:52,040 --> 00:11:55,959 Speaker 1: continue this fight no matter what happens in the Trump 196 00:11:56,200 --> 00:12:01,000 Speaker 1: reelection recount battle. Those are the stakes, friends, That's what 197 00:12:01,040 --> 00:12:04,120 Speaker 1: we're up to today. We'll continue to look very closely 198 00:12:04,200 --> 00:12:08,680 Speaker 1: at all aspects of this fight.

Tomorrow, 201 00:12:18,880 --> 00:12:21,120 Speaker 1: each of you is going to vote in one of 202 00:12:21,120 --> 00:12:25,520 Speaker 1: the most important runoff elections of the history of our country. Runnance. Frankly, 203 00:12:25,600 --> 00:12:30,120 Speaker 1: forget about runoff one of the most important elections. Really, 204 00:12:30,200 --> 00:12:34,240 Speaker 1: it's really not runoff, it's elections because it's a biggie. 205 00:12:34,800 --> 00:12:37,800 Speaker 1: Our country is depending on you. The whole world is 206 00:12:37,840 --> 00:12:40,880 Speaker 1: watching the people of Georgia tomorrow, and you've got to 207 00:12:40,960 --> 00:12:44,640 Speaker 1: swamp them because everything's so crooked around I mean, and 208 00:12:44,800 --> 00:12:47,280 Speaker 1: not here they're saying, oh, he's complaining about Georgia. No. No, 209 00:12:47,360 --> 00:12:51,680 Speaker 1: I'm complaining about eight different states, and I think we're 210 00:12:51,679 --> 00:12:53,719 Speaker 1: gonna win them all. He says he's gonna win them all. 211 00:12:53,720 --> 00:12:55,960 Speaker 1: But let's focus on what he's saying first here about 212 00:12:56,000 --> 00:12:58,840 Speaker 1: the Senate race. It is absolutely critical for the reads 213 00:12:58,880 --> 00:13:02,520 Speaker 1: we're outlining it with Asof and Warnock. You do have 214 00:13:02,920 --> 00:13:08,240 Speaker 1: a quite a duo of Democrats who are really representative 215 00:13:08,480 --> 00:13:12,640 Speaker 1: of the ideological trajectory of that party right now. I 216 00:13:12,640 --> 00:13:14,440 Speaker 1: mean Asof, I mean, this is a guy who what 217 00:13:14,600 --> 00:13:19,040 Speaker 1: is well, why should John Asof be a United States Senator? 218 00:13:19,640 --> 00:13:22,040 Speaker 1: What exactly has he done? He's done a little bit 219 00:13:22,040 --> 00:13:25,760 Speaker 1: of staff work for somebody else in the House, and 220 00:13:26,160 --> 00:13:29,880 Speaker 1: he's rich because of who Dad is. Well, that's not 221 00:13:29,960 --> 00:13:33,760 Speaker 1: particularly impressive, but the Left loves this guy. So that 222 00:13:33,840 --> 00:13:35,920 Speaker 1: tells you a lot, doesn't it. And then you have 223 00:13:35,960 --> 00:13:42,880 Speaker 1: mister Raphael Warnock, the Reverend Raphael Warnock, who is a 224 00:13:43,040 --> 00:13:47,600 Speaker 1: doctrinaire leftist who says what he needs to say in 225 00:13:47,679 --> 00:13:52,559 Speaker 1: order to appeal to his favored constituencies. And what would 226 00:13:52,559 --> 00:13:55,480 Speaker 1: he do. Well, they'll do whatever the Democrat left wants 227 00:13:55,520 --> 00:14:00,079 Speaker 1: them to. It's not even really clear in any way 228 00:14:00,280 --> 00:14:03,880 Speaker 1: what they would push for on their own. They're going 229 00:14:03,920 --> 00:14:08,360 Speaker 1: to be functionaries largely if they win in the Democrat machine. 230 00:14:08,400 --> 00:14:09,760 Speaker 1: But that's all they have to be. They just have 231 00:14:09,800 --> 00:14:13,840 Speaker 1: to go along with it. And there's the Republican candidates 232 00:14:13,840 --> 00:14:15,960 Speaker 1: in this case, who are, let's just be honest, not 233 00:14:16,200 --> 00:14:21,119 Speaker 1: particularly strong. They're good enough, They're far better than these Democrats, 234 00:14:21,120 --> 00:14:23,560 Speaker 1: and good heavens, please don't let me giving you a 235 00:14:23,600 --> 00:14:26,200 Speaker 1: little bit of honesty here dissuade any of you in 236 00:14:26,240 --> 00:14:28,360 Speaker 1: Georgia from going out there and casting your vote for 237 00:14:28,400 --> 00:14:35,920 Speaker 1: these two candidates. But Leffler has done okay, and Purdue 238 00:14:36,240 --> 00:14:40,840 Speaker 1: is also okay. You know you really look at it 239 00:14:40,920 --> 00:14:44,040 Speaker 1: and say, okay, well, but they're Republicans and they will 240 00:14:44,080 --> 00:14:48,040 Speaker 1: at least support policies that will be better off for 241 00:14:48,760 --> 00:14:51,760 Speaker 1: the rest of us, whether Democrats realize it or not. 242 00:14:52,280 --> 00:14:54,840 Speaker 1: But Trump is clearly upset as well at what's going 243 00:14:54,880 --> 00:14:58,960 Speaker 1: on in the state of Georgia. And this is a 244 00:14:58,960 --> 00:15:03,040 Speaker 1: big problem. This is Georgia, friends, this is not some 245 00:15:03,120 --> 00:15:06,080 Speaker 1: place that we thought we'd be having these kinds of troubles. 246 00:15:06,840 --> 00:15:11,120 Speaker 1: So Democrats, there's the immediate power issue here of control 247 00:15:11,160 --> 00:15:14,640 Speaker 1: of the Senate and also Trump continuing to contest the 248 00:15:15,160 --> 00:15:17,680 Speaker 1: outcome in Georgia. But then there's the what does this 249 00:15:17,720 --> 00:15:19,920 Speaker 1: place look like? What does the state of Georgia look 250 00:15:20,000 --> 00:15:22,160 Speaker 1: like in two years? What does it look like in 251 00:15:22,200 --> 00:15:25,040 Speaker 1: four years? This is a in the center of the 252 00:15:25,080 --> 00:15:28,600 Speaker 1: South trending blue state, and we have to look at 253 00:15:28,680 --> 00:15:30,600 Speaker 1: why that is and what's going on. And you have 254 00:15:30,680 --> 00:15:35,520 Speaker 1: to think that the GOP state apparatus is not doing 255 00:15:35,560 --> 00:15:40,000 Speaker 1: a particularly impressive job at all. And Governor Camp in particular, 256 00:15:40,040 --> 00:15:43,840 Speaker 1: who just barely beat Stacy, Remember Stacy Abrahams, the fake 257 00:15:43,920 --> 00:15:50,320 Speaker 1: governor of Georgia. Just Kemp barely beat her. Trump is 258 00:15:51,160 --> 00:15:54,520 Speaker 1: unhappy with Kemp to the point where he's already threatening 259 00:15:54,560 --> 00:15:58,920 Speaker 1: to campaign against him. Play fifteen. I'll be hearing about 260 00:15:58,920 --> 00:16:01,200 Speaker 1: a year and a half campaign against your governor. I 261 00:16:01,240 --> 00:16:06,400 Speaker 1: guarantee that I shouldn't say this. I shouldn't say this 262 00:16:06,560 --> 00:16:10,360 Speaker 1: because I just don't want you to tell anybody outside 263 00:16:10,360 --> 00:16:13,800 Speaker 1: of this room other than the minions of paper up now. 264 00:16:13,920 --> 00:16:16,360 Speaker 1: But you know, I endorsed him. He was in last place, 265 00:16:17,080 --> 00:16:19,320 Speaker 1: and I endorsed him. He went to first place very 266 00:16:19,400 --> 00:16:22,480 Speaker 1: like immediately, and then he won the primary. And then 267 00:16:22,520 --> 00:16:24,880 Speaker 1: I gave him a couple of rallies, which I don't 268 00:16:24,960 --> 00:16:26,760 Speaker 1: like doing for other people. I was telling Keim, I 269 00:16:26,800 --> 00:16:28,640 Speaker 1: had him do rallies for other people. I do him 270 00:16:28,680 --> 00:16:33,160 Speaker 1: for me. Right The president has had the incredible ability 271 00:16:33,200 --> 00:16:36,400 Speaker 1: to pass his support to other people. You know, Obama, 272 00:16:36,440 --> 00:16:39,640 Speaker 1: as popular as he was among Democrats, his popularity did 273 00:16:39,640 --> 00:16:42,600 Speaker 1: not translate to others. When Trump shows up and says 274 00:16:42,720 --> 00:16:46,120 Speaker 1: this is my guy or gal, it tends to really 275 00:16:46,480 --> 00:16:51,560 Speaker 1: move the needle in impressive ways. And that may continue on. 276 00:16:52,200 --> 00:16:56,280 Speaker 1: We'll see. We'll have to look and watch for what 277 00:16:56,360 --> 00:17:00,160 Speaker 1: the president's next moves will be. He very clearly has 278 00:17:00,160 --> 00:17:03,760 Speaker 1: no interest in going quietly into the night. We know 279 00:17:03,880 --> 00:17:07,000 Speaker 1: that much. And he's saying that he's continuing to contest 280 00:17:07,040 --> 00:17:10,720 Speaker 1: this election. But right now, we gotta spend the next 281 00:17:10,920 --> 00:17:14,720 Speaker 1: the next you know, let's see twelve hours, friends, all 282 00:17:14,760 --> 00:17:18,960 Speaker 1: that really matters, All that really matters for the rest 283 00:17:19,119 --> 00:17:23,800 Speaker 1: of today going into tonight, just slay the rest of today, 284 00:17:23,840 --> 00:17:26,199 Speaker 1: forget about the twelve hours. Is that we get this 285 00:17:26,320 --> 00:17:30,400 Speaker 1: Georgia election done and we get these two Senate seats. 286 00:17:30,440 --> 00:17:34,480 Speaker 1: Everybody out there Team buck Georgia.

Finish You're you're you're given a speech. 301 00:18:15,960 --> 00:18:17,840 Speaker 1: You asked the question I am trying to ask you 302 00:18:17,960 --> 00:18:20,800 Speaker 1: that you're going to ask how many questions you get three? 303 00:18:20,920 --> 00:18:23,040 Speaker 1: They only got one question why do you get three 304 00:18:23,119 --> 00:18:24,960 Speaker 1: with I'll due respect, Governor, I'm just asking if I 305 00:18:25,000 --> 00:18:27,600 Speaker 1: could finish my question. You didn't you finish the question. 306 00:18:27,720 --> 00:18:30,080 Speaker 1: I did not. My full question is what went wrong 307 00:18:30,119 --> 00:18:32,879 Speaker 1: with the rollout of the vaccine when we've seen phone 308 00:18:32,920 --> 00:18:37,679 Speaker 1: lines jammed, website you're reading your question to complete it 309 00:18:37,760 --> 00:18:42,360 Speaker 1: for you, Governor. We've seen websites crash, and also senior 310 00:18:42,400 --> 00:18:45,720 Speaker 1: citizens waiting overnight for the vaccine. Where was that at 311 00:18:46,400 --> 00:18:50,000 Speaker 1: We've seen it in Duval, Broward, Orange and Lee County. 312 00:18:50,040 --> 00:18:52,640 Speaker 1: Why was like in Lee? Why did that happen? Did 313 00:18:52,720 --> 00:18:55,640 Speaker 1: you investigate why? That's my question to you, Governor. You're 314 00:18:55,640 --> 00:18:57,199 Speaker 1: the governor of the state. I'm not the governor of 315 00:18:57,200 --> 00:18:59,960 Speaker 1: the state, okay, but you didn't investigate why that happen 316 00:19:00,040 --> 00:19:02,280 Speaker 1: like in Lee County? Why was there a big line? 317 00:19:02,320 --> 00:19:05,159 Speaker 1: Did you did you investigate? Why could you tell us? 318 00:19:05,359 --> 00:19:10,080 Speaker 1: Because we distributed vaccine to hospitals and the hospital said 319 00:19:10,080 --> 00:19:12,280 Speaker 1: first come, first serve, if you show up, we'll do it, 320 00:19:12,480 --> 00:19:15,240 Speaker 1: so they didn't use a registration system. There wasn't anything 321 00:19:15,240 --> 00:19:17,520 Speaker 1: that was done, and there's a lot of demand for it, 322 00:19:17,600 --> 00:19:20,360 Speaker 1: so people are going to want to go ahead and 323 00:19:19,440 --> 00:19:23,040 Speaker 1: then from the state to make sure that senior citizens 324 00:19:23,040 --> 00:19:26,719 Speaker 1: didn't wait outside overnight. So the state is not dictating 325 00:19:26,720 --> 00:19:30,200 Speaker 1: the hospitals. How we're not dictating the Carlos Mogoya how 326 00:19:30,200 --> 00:19:33,120 Speaker 1: he runs his operations here. That would be a total disaster. 327 00:19:33,560 --> 00:19:36,240 Speaker 1: These guys are much more competent to be able to 328 00:19:36,280 --> 00:19:39,800 Speaker 1: deliver healthcare services than a state government could ever be 329 00:19:40,440 --> 00:19:46,639 Speaker 1: knockout from Ron descentis against it a CNN fake news journo. 330 00:19:46,720 --> 00:19:50,240 Speaker 1: I've never seen that one before, but there she was. 331 00:19:50,320 --> 00:19:53,560 Speaker 1: I I like this. Republicans have to do this. When 332 00:19:53,560 --> 00:19:56,439 Speaker 1: you're up against the ninety five percent Democrat media, when 333 00:19:56,480 --> 00:20:02,800 Speaker 1: you're up against a news a news apparatus that will 334 00:20:02,840 --> 00:20:05,320 Speaker 1: do everything in its power to help one side and 335 00:20:05,400 --> 00:20:07,920 Speaker 1: to crush you, to attack you all the time, You've 336 00:20:07,960 --> 00:20:10,200 Speaker 1: got to take every opportunity to point out the bias, 337 00:20:10,800 --> 00:20:13,320 Speaker 1: because otherwise they get what they want and they win. 338 00:20:14,320 --> 00:20:16,880 Speaker 1: So you've got to say, hold on a second, why 339 00:20:17,560 --> 00:20:20,879 Speaker 1: why is the premise of your question based in the 340 00:20:20,960 --> 00:20:23,040 Speaker 1: failures of this state? And you want to do some 341 00:20:23,160 --> 00:20:26,640 Speaker 1: long rambling speech. Look, she wanted her MSNBC moment, Well, 342 00:20:27,359 --> 00:20:30,520 Speaker 1: she got her Fox News moment. Perhaps she wanted to 343 00:20:30,520 --> 00:20:34,120 Speaker 1: be able to attack Ron de Santis, who has been 344 00:20:34,480 --> 00:20:39,000 Speaker 1: the best governor of a large populous state in the 345 00:20:39,080 --> 00:20:43,840 Speaker 1: country at handling COVID. All right, people vote with their feet. 346 00:20:44,040 --> 00:20:48,880 Speaker 1: Then numbers don't lie. When you see the top places 347 00:20:48,920 --> 00:20:51,920 Speaker 1: where Americans are moving and this is from there's a 348 00:20:52,119 --> 00:20:54,119 Speaker 1: U haul in the big moving company. They put out 349 00:20:54,160 --> 00:20:57,200 Speaker 1: their data. There's other moving companies have done the same. 350 00:20:58,040 --> 00:21:01,159 Speaker 1: Where is everybody going? Right now? All right, we've been 351 00:21:01,200 --> 00:21:04,600 Speaker 1: in a crisis. States are doing different things, and this 352 00:21:04,680 --> 00:21:06,280 Speaker 1: is the way it's supposed to be. Right. States are 353 00:21:06,640 --> 00:21:09,240 Speaker 1: able to pursue their own pathways to deal with a 354 00:21:09,240 --> 00:21:14,720 Speaker 1: crisis like this. And where are people fleeing? And where 355 00:21:14,720 --> 00:21:20,480 Speaker 1: are people showing up? Well, they're leaving in unprecedented numbers, 356 00:21:20,600 --> 00:21:25,080 Speaker 1: at least in modern history. New York, California, New Jersey. 357 00:21:25,560 --> 00:21:28,960 Speaker 1: They're leaving big blue enclaves right the heart of the 358 00:21:29,040 --> 00:21:35,600 Speaker 1: Democrat financial money and political power, infrastructure. They're saying, this 359 00:21:35,720 --> 00:21:42,320 Speaker 1: is just crazy. Where are they going? Florida, Tennessee, South Carolina, 360 00:21:42,680 --> 00:21:48,119 Speaker 1: North Carolina either somewhat read or very red states, but 361 00:21:48,200 --> 00:21:52,080 Speaker 1: also states that have low or no income tax, states 362 00:21:52,080 --> 00:21:56,119 Speaker 1: that have been more open during the COVID pandemic. Rhonda 363 00:21:56,200 --> 00:21:59,640 Speaker 1: Santis has been basically running one big move here. It's 364 00:21:59,720 --> 00:22:03,760 Speaker 1: better ad during all of this, and to our our 365 00:22:03,800 --> 00:22:09,280 Speaker 1: listeners in the Miami area and in the Tampa area, 366 00:22:09,320 --> 00:22:13,800 Speaker 1: we got to WFLA and WIOD. To our listeners down 367 00:22:13,840 --> 00:22:17,600 Speaker 1: in the Florida area, we would just say congratulations for 368 00:22:17,960 --> 00:22:22,280 Speaker 1: already being down there, right. Good job, a good job. 369 00:22:22,600 --> 00:22:26,560 Speaker 1: So I've just got to tell you, I'm I'm amazed 370 00:22:26,640 --> 00:22:32,399 Speaker 1: that the broader perception hasn't shifted faster here. You see, 371 00:22:32,440 --> 00:22:35,120 Speaker 1: everyone's going to places that are doing a better job 372 00:22:35,160 --> 00:22:38,040 Speaker 1: with this, and they're fleeing the places that the media pretends. 373 00:22:38,280 --> 00:22:42,280 Speaker 1: Gavin Newsom and governor and Governor Cuomo Governor's Newsom and 374 00:22:42,320 --> 00:22:47,320 Speaker 1: Cuomo are a disaster, an absolute disaster, and all the 375 00:22:47,400 --> 00:22:51,000 Speaker 1: data shows it. You've got twenty two thousand dead in 376 00:22:51,880 --> 00:22:55,480 Speaker 1: Florida from COVID with two million more in population, You've 377 00:22:55,520 --> 00:22:59,000 Speaker 1: got over thirty thousand and now I think it's like 378 00:22:59,040 --> 00:23:01,520 Speaker 1: thirty three or thirty war thousand dead in New York. 379 00:23:02,320 --> 00:23:05,840 Speaker 1: That's a lot more. That's a much bigger death toll. 380 00:23:06,200 --> 00:23:09,320 Speaker 1: And Florida has an even higher percentage of seniors. Remember 381 00:23:09,359 --> 00:23:13,800 Speaker 1: that the biggest vulnerability group is senior citizens. You'd think 382 00:23:13,800 --> 00:23:16,520 Speaker 1: that Florida would have been hit worse than anybody by this, 383 00:23:16,680 --> 00:23:20,280 Speaker 1: But no, And in terms of in terms of death 384 00:23:20,280 --> 00:23:22,560 Speaker 1: per capita, they're essentially in the middle of the pack. 385 00:23:22,600 --> 00:23:24,800 Speaker 1: But understand this, they're in the middle of the pack 386 00:23:24,880 --> 00:23:29,080 Speaker 1: for a state that has a lot of pretty dense cities, 387 00:23:30,000 --> 00:23:33,280 Speaker 1: and also for a state that hasn't been closed down. 388 00:23:34,240 --> 00:23:37,280 Speaker 1: The closed down states should be They should be able 389 00:23:37,320 --> 00:23:40,080 Speaker 1: to point the lockdown states should be able to point 390 00:23:40,160 --> 00:23:43,960 Speaker 1: at more open states and say, oh my gosh, look 391 00:23:44,000 --> 00:23:45,719 Speaker 1: at what a terrible job you've done. Look at how 392 00:23:45,760 --> 00:23:47,639 Speaker 1: much better off we are. Not going to do that 393 00:23:47,680 --> 00:23:52,680 Speaker 1: in California right now, California is having its worst ever 394 00:23:52,960 --> 00:23:57,680 Speaker 1: period of COVID cases. Los Angeles hospitals, according to The 395 00:23:57,760 --> 00:24:01,960 Speaker 1: Daily Mail, have suffered a one thousand percent spike in 396 00:24:02,080 --> 00:24:05,919 Speaker 1: admissions because of COVID and ambulances have been told to 397 00:24:05,920 --> 00:24:12,560 Speaker 1: stop transporting patients with little chance of survival. Now, Los 398 00:24:12,600 --> 00:24:14,879 Speaker 1: Angeles was held up as a model for all of 399 00:24:14,960 --> 00:24:18,600 Speaker 1: us that I think we need to remember this. Los 400 00:24:18,600 --> 00:24:23,479 Speaker 1: Angeles and California. They were see, we wear masks, unlike 401 00:24:23,480 --> 00:24:27,280 Speaker 1: you dumb Trump supporters, which is even true, people all 402 00:24:27,320 --> 00:24:31,000 Speaker 1: across the country wearing masks, But they had this belief 403 00:24:31,080 --> 00:24:33,520 Speaker 1: that the only people that don't wear masks are Trump supporters, 404 00:24:33,520 --> 00:24:37,440 Speaker 1: and therefore they were really they're really horrible about this too. 405 00:24:37,520 --> 00:24:40,399 Speaker 1: You know, it was our It was our fault when anyone, 406 00:24:40,440 --> 00:24:42,520 Speaker 1: when anyone on the right got sick, it was it 407 00:24:42,600 --> 00:24:47,159 Speaker 1: was our problem that we had created. Well, what's the 408 00:24:47,200 --> 00:24:50,760 Speaker 1: situation Los Angeles? Why why is COVID so out of 409 00:24:50,760 --> 00:24:55,399 Speaker 1: control there and has a relatively moderate climate. I mean 410 00:24:55,800 --> 00:24:58,280 Speaker 1: it's not quite Florida, but pretty close to it. Why 411 00:24:58,359 --> 00:25:01,600 Speaker 1: is it so much worse off? The people that told 412 00:25:01,640 --> 00:25:04,240 Speaker 1: you they knew what to do and their policies would 413 00:25:04,280 --> 00:25:09,280 Speaker 1: work were wrong. They were wrong. They could deny this 414 00:25:09,320 --> 00:25:12,240 Speaker 1: as much as they want. They can pretend it's not true. 415 00:25:12,800 --> 00:25:16,440 Speaker 1: They were wrong. Didn't work. They can say it's because 416 00:25:16,480 --> 00:25:17,879 Speaker 1: we didn't do a good enough job. They can have 417 00:25:17,960 --> 00:25:19,280 Speaker 1: all the excuses they want. But at the end of 418 00:25:19,320 --> 00:25:22,960 Speaker 1: the day, you know, if this is a war, their 419 00:25:23,000 --> 00:25:26,600 Speaker 1: battle plan did not succeed. All right, the generals need 420 00:25:26,640 --> 00:25:30,600 Speaker 1: to get fired. That's what's happening in California. I Meanwhile, 421 00:25:30,800 --> 00:25:33,680 Speaker 1: in Florida, Yes, it's not perfect. Obviously, there are a 422 00:25:33,680 --> 00:25:35,520 Speaker 1: lot of people who are getting sick. And a lot 423 00:25:35,520 --> 00:25:37,159 Speaker 1: of people who are dying in Florida from COVID. But 424 00:25:37,200 --> 00:25:40,760 Speaker 1: that's happening everywhere, but Florida is still open, and Rohn 425 00:25:40,800 --> 00:25:43,720 Speaker 1: de Santis isn't going to sit there and have a 426 00:25:43,800 --> 00:25:47,119 Speaker 1: CNN reporter do a speech in the you know, do 427 00:25:47,160 --> 00:25:50,040 Speaker 1: a speech under the guise of a question to basically 428 00:25:50,040 --> 00:25:52,119 Speaker 1: be why you're doing such a bad job at the 429 00:25:52,200 --> 00:25:56,240 Speaker 1: vaccine role out. Have you seen such an aggressive question 430 00:25:56,359 --> 00:26:02,240 Speaker 1: posed by any CNN journalist to Governor Cuomo ever, particularly 431 00:26:02,280 --> 00:26:05,400 Speaker 1: about his disastrous COVID response. No, of course not, because 432 00:26:05,400 --> 00:26:07,760 Speaker 1: this is all important to the overall narrative. There's a 433 00:26:07,800 --> 00:26:12,199 Speaker 1: broad narrative here of who is better at handling this 434 00:26:12,359 --> 00:26:14,199 Speaker 1: public health challenge, the same way that we would have 435 00:26:14,240 --> 00:26:18,320 Speaker 1: this on issues of national security? Do you trust Democrats? 436 00:26:18,320 --> 00:26:20,840 Speaker 1: Are Republicans more on national security? For a long time 437 00:26:20,880 --> 00:26:23,280 Speaker 1: it was a huge, clear favorite of Republicans, and then 438 00:26:23,280 --> 00:26:24,960 Speaker 1: that balanced out a little bit after some of the 439 00:26:25,080 --> 00:26:28,040 Speaker 1: Mid East Wars, But I think it would still be 440 00:26:28,000 --> 00:26:30,080 Speaker 1: Abut have to check the most recent polls. Republicans tend 441 00:26:30,080 --> 00:26:33,239 Speaker 1: to have an advantage there well on who do you 442 00:26:33,280 --> 00:26:35,400 Speaker 1: trust to do a better job in a pandemic? They've 443 00:26:35,400 --> 00:26:37,080 Speaker 1: blamed Trump for all this, but really you have to 444 00:26:37,080 --> 00:26:39,840 Speaker 1: look at this on a state by state level, and 445 00:26:40,000 --> 00:26:45,600 Speaker 1: Republican states are doing better in their fight against COVID, 446 00:26:46,119 --> 00:26:49,679 Speaker 1: then Democrat then large Democrats states are and now I 447 00:26:49,720 --> 00:26:52,800 Speaker 1: know one of the highest deaths per capita states, for example, 448 00:26:52,800 --> 00:26:55,520 Speaker 1: as Massachusetts, where you have a technically Republican governor, but 449 00:26:55,560 --> 00:26:59,440 Speaker 1: it's a Democrat state. It's overwhelming the Democrat voters and 450 00:26:59,520 --> 00:27:02,679 Speaker 1: the and the politicians that have power there are, you know, 451 00:27:03,080 --> 00:27:05,480 Speaker 1: and it's this guy is not like some Trump supporting 452 00:27:05,480 --> 00:27:09,199 Speaker 1: Republican either. He's kind of a fakey Republican, you know. 453 00:27:10,320 --> 00:27:12,120 Speaker 1: But you look at the places that have had the 454 00:27:11,720 --> 00:27:20,160 Speaker 1: worst results, New York, Michigan, New Jersey, Massachusetts, now California, 455 00:27:20,520 --> 00:27:24,119 Speaker 1: really bad results from this, and the media can allow 456 00:27:24,200 --> 00:27:28,040 Speaker 1: this to be a widespread recognition. They can allow people 457 00:27:28,080 --> 00:27:30,639 Speaker 1: to figure out, Hold on a second, I thought Democrats 458 00:27:30,640 --> 00:27:33,640 Speaker 1: were the science people and they wear masks, so it's 459 00:27:33,680 --> 00:27:35,400 Speaker 1: all so much better? Why is it so much worse 460 00:27:35,400 --> 00:27:39,960 Speaker 1: in their states? They probably argue about population density, which 461 00:27:40,000 --> 00:27:42,439 Speaker 1: is that is a reasonable point to make, but that 462 00:27:42,480 --> 00:27:45,959 Speaker 1: doesn't explain the full disparity. Look at Texas, look at Florida, 463 00:27:46,080 --> 00:27:51,240 Speaker 1: where would you have rather been during this during this pandemic, 464 00:27:52,359 --> 00:27:56,119 Speaker 1: and it's states that are more read, even with large cities, 465 00:27:56,119 --> 00:27:58,320 Speaker 1: even with huge populations, You'd rather be in a state 466 00:27:58,320 --> 00:28:01,280 Speaker 1: that's more read. And then you also have the growth 467 00:28:01,480 --> 00:28:06,640 Speaker 1: of the tyranny mindset among Democrats. Do you know that 468 00:28:06,720 --> 00:28:09,120 Speaker 1: in New York right now, there's a bill that has 469 00:28:09,840 --> 00:28:17,200 Speaker 1: been in circulation that would allow Governor Cromo to just 470 00:28:17,520 --> 00:28:21,440 Speaker 1: detain people who are believed to be a public health risk. 471 00:28:21,680 --> 00:28:25,479 Speaker 1: Let me get into this because these details, this is chilling. 472 00:28:26,160 --> 00:28:27,600 Speaker 1: And if they can do it to New York, trust me, 473 00:28:27,680 --> 00:28:29,080 Speaker 1: they're going to want to do it in California. There 474 00:28:29,080 --> 00:28:31,760 Speaker 1: are other places they'll try this as well. And if 475 00:28:31,760 --> 00:28:34,840 Speaker 1: you think the federal government under a Bide administration is 476 00:28:34,840 --> 00:28:37,280 Speaker 1: going to try to step in and protect your basic 477 00:28:37,320 --> 00:28:42,440 Speaker 1: constitutional rights, you're in for a surprise. You're in the 478 00:28:42,560 --> 00:28:46,360 Speaker 1: freedom Hunt. This is the Buck Sexton Show podcast. Get 479 00:28:46,400 --> 00:28:49,400 Speaker 1: more from Buck by following him on social media at 480 00:28:49,440 --> 00:28:53,080 Speaker 1: Buck Sexton on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram. I think one 481 00:28:53,120 --> 00:28:55,360 Speaker 1: of the biggest things I learned, and I say this 482 00:28:55,440 --> 00:28:58,640 Speaker 1: is a neurosurgeon. You know, someone who operates on people 483 00:28:59,280 --> 00:29:02,480 Speaker 1: who are in the worst of situations. Often is that 484 00:29:02,920 --> 00:29:07,560 Speaker 1: is that science cannot rescue us from ourselves. We can 485 00:29:07,600 --> 00:29:11,120 Speaker 1: have these incredible breakthroughs and we will in vaccines and 486 00:29:11,240 --> 00:29:14,080 Speaker 1: therapeutics and new forms of testing. I mean, it is 487 00:29:14,120 --> 00:29:17,160 Speaker 1: really just remarkable to see, and I think we will 488 00:29:17,200 --> 00:29:19,920 Speaker 1: be a different world as a result of the medical 489 00:29:19,960 --> 00:29:22,200 Speaker 1: innovation that we have seen this here, But if we 490 00:29:22,200 --> 00:29:25,720 Speaker 1: don't lean into the basic health practices, they make such 491 00:29:25,760 --> 00:29:28,480 Speaker 1: a big difference. I mean, even now, hundred years after 492 00:29:28,520 --> 00:29:33,360 Speaker 1: the great pandemic of nineteen eighteen, the same things made 493 00:29:33,360 --> 00:29:38,840 Speaker 1: the biggest difference. Wearing masks, keeping distance, washing hands. We 494 00:29:38,840 --> 00:29:41,480 Speaker 1: can talk about mr Anda, vaccines and all those things, 495 00:29:41,840 --> 00:29:45,040 Speaker 1: but washing hands and wearing a mask makes as big 496 00:29:45,080 --> 00:29:47,840 Speaker 1: a difference. It doesn't sound as neat or as fancy, 497 00:29:48,160 --> 00:29:49,800 Speaker 1: but it can make such a huge impact. And it's 498 00:29:49,840 --> 00:29:54,240 Speaker 1: something I will now always remind my patients of. I 499 00:29:54,280 --> 00:29:56,000 Speaker 1: want you to be very clever. This. Here you have 500 00:29:56,040 --> 00:30:00,360 Speaker 1: the CNN's favorite on air doctor, doctor Gupta telling you 501 00:30:00,400 --> 00:30:03,920 Speaker 1: that washing hands and wearing masks is as important as 502 00:30:03,920 --> 00:30:07,160 Speaker 1: a vaccine. Does anybody really believe that? I know there 503 00:30:07,160 --> 00:30:09,160 Speaker 1: are people who have been brainwashing blue, but think about 504 00:30:09,160 --> 00:30:13,800 Speaker 1: that for a second. The vaccine is ninety five percent effective. 505 00:30:14,800 --> 00:30:19,120 Speaker 1: So how are we supposed to take this hand washing 506 00:30:19,200 --> 00:30:21,600 Speaker 1: and mask wearing is ninety five percent effective? Well, then 507 00:30:21,640 --> 00:30:25,280 Speaker 1: explain California to me. Doc. Oh, this was all so obvious. 508 00:30:25,720 --> 00:30:27,600 Speaker 1: It was so obvious that at the very beginning of this, 509 00:30:27,720 --> 00:30:29,960 Speaker 1: all these so called experts were telling us they know 510 00:30:30,040 --> 00:30:32,600 Speaker 1: the history, they know about the pandemic of nineteen eighteen. 511 00:30:33,560 --> 00:30:35,360 Speaker 1: At the beginning, there's saying, no, I don't wear masks. 512 00:30:35,960 --> 00:30:39,520 Speaker 1: That's that's how obvious this was in medicine, right. But 513 00:30:39,600 --> 00:30:42,920 Speaker 1: there they just doesn't matter. They just keep saying it. 514 00:30:43,200 --> 00:30:44,760 Speaker 1: What are they going to do admit that they've been 515 00:30:44,920 --> 00:30:47,640 Speaker 1: wrong this whole time about really important stuff. No, they're 516 00:30:47,640 --> 00:30:49,920 Speaker 1: never going to do that. So they tell you that 517 00:30:50,040 --> 00:30:53,840 Speaker 1: we can't save us from ourselves. You didn't do a 518 00:30:53,880 --> 00:30:58,400 Speaker 1: good enough job. That's that's the takeoil you're supposed to have. Yeah, 519 00:30:58,480 --> 00:31:01,280 Speaker 1: masks and hand washing, really show me the show me 520 00:31:01,320 --> 00:31:04,240 Speaker 1: the hand washing as a means of stopping COVID data. 521 00:31:04,280 --> 00:31:07,720 Speaker 1: I'm just here, show me that data. Prove that one 522 00:31:07,800 --> 00:31:11,160 Speaker 1: to me. Stop telling me. Prove it to me. Oh, 523 00:31:11,240 --> 00:31:13,160 Speaker 1: but you know, we did their study where people said 524 00:31:13,200 --> 00:31:16,160 Speaker 1: they thought they wash more hands because they wash more hands. 525 00:31:16,200 --> 00:31:20,320 Speaker 1: Maybe they thought, no, no, I want proof, like I'm 526 00:31:20,360 --> 00:31:22,720 Speaker 1: going to inject something in my arm that's going to 527 00:31:23,080 --> 00:31:27,040 Speaker 1: save my life kind of proof. Not Oh, I think 528 00:31:27,040 --> 00:31:31,080 Speaker 1: if you wash your hands, maybe theoretically it could help 529 00:31:31,160 --> 00:31:35,160 Speaker 1: prevent some tiny percentage of spread, which, when played out 530 00:31:35,480 --> 00:31:38,080 Speaker 1: hundreds of millions of times over the course of a month, 531 00:31:38,160 --> 00:31:41,360 Speaker 1: may result in you know how many fewer cases A handful? 532 00:31:41,360 --> 00:31:44,000 Speaker 1: Who knows? This is what they're saying. That's right. It 533 00:31:44,040 --> 00:31:45,760 Speaker 1: was all about masks to see the whole time, that's 534 00:31:45,760 --> 00:31:50,440 Speaker 1: all we needed. Oh wow, okay, so somehow mask compliance 535 00:31:50,520 --> 00:31:53,720 Speaker 1: goes up dramatically ninety seven percent in a lot of 536 00:31:53,720 --> 00:31:56,480 Speaker 1: these states, and yet we're having the worst outbreaks we've 537 00:31:56,480 --> 00:31:59,120 Speaker 1: ever had, worse than when nobody was wearing masks. Really 538 00:31:59,200 --> 00:32:03,880 Speaker 1: or very few people explain that to me. Make that 539 00:32:04,000 --> 00:32:05,880 Speaker 1: make sense? Oh and they come up with all these 540 00:32:06,000 --> 00:32:07,800 Speaker 1: and then their explorations you say, well, that doesn't make 541 00:32:07,800 --> 00:32:11,840 Speaker 1: any sense, that's not true. And then you say, shut 542 00:32:11,920 --> 00:32:16,440 Speaker 1: up science, that's what they do. Well, that's all happening. 543 00:32:16,480 --> 00:32:21,040 Speaker 1: You have things like New York Bill A four sixteen. 544 00:32:21,040 --> 00:32:22,719 Speaker 1: Now I know, for those of you are listening in 545 00:32:22,760 --> 00:32:25,480 Speaker 1: other states all across the country, you're probably thinking, well, 546 00:32:25,480 --> 00:32:30,120 Speaker 1: this isn't my problem. Remember I told you the stuff 547 00:32:30,120 --> 00:32:34,600 Speaker 1: you're seeing in New York, the crazy lockdowns, the nonsense 548 00:32:34,640 --> 00:32:37,200 Speaker 1: that we're all being put through New York City that 549 00:32:38,720 --> 00:32:42,080 Speaker 1: is now replicated in many other Democrats cities and states 550 00:32:42,080 --> 00:32:44,000 Speaker 1: across the country. So get ready for stuff like this 551 00:32:44,720 --> 00:32:47,920 Speaker 1: New York Bill A four sixteen. It would give the 552 00:32:47,960 --> 00:32:52,320 Speaker 1: governor the ability to imprison or deport anyone he says 553 00:32:52,480 --> 00:32:55,640 Speaker 1: is a public health threat. But not only is this, 554 00:32:55,720 --> 00:32:58,800 Speaker 1: now this is detaining people without without trial. Now I 555 00:32:58,800 --> 00:33:01,040 Speaker 1: know they're gonna say, oh, but it's but you know, 556 00:33:01,080 --> 00:33:07,280 Speaker 1: it's like quarantine. Yeah, taking quarantine powers for sick people 557 00:33:07,960 --> 00:33:10,880 Speaker 1: for things, you know, for if somebody has smallpox or 558 00:33:10,880 --> 00:33:14,000 Speaker 1: somebody has a bola, that's one thing. But this is 559 00:33:14,080 --> 00:33:18,960 Speaker 1: quarantine powers for well, we think there's the possibility you 560 00:33:19,080 --> 00:33:22,200 Speaker 1: may be sick with COVID even though you feel fine 561 00:33:22,480 --> 00:33:24,960 Speaker 1: and the tests are too sensitive, but we can still 562 00:33:25,000 --> 00:33:27,360 Speaker 1: lock you up. This is from the bill. This is 563 00:33:27,400 --> 00:33:31,160 Speaker 1: from the text of the bill. Quote. Upon determining by 564 00:33:31,240 --> 00:33:34,760 Speaker 1: clear and convincing evidence of the health of others may 565 00:33:34,880 --> 00:33:39,560 Speaker 1: be endangered by a case contact or carrier or suspected 566 00:33:39,640 --> 00:33:43,680 Speaker 1: case contact or carrier of a contagious disease that, in 567 00:33:43,720 --> 00:33:47,320 Speaker 1: the opinion of the Governor, may pose an imminent and 568 00:33:47,360 --> 00:33:52,200 Speaker 1: significant threat to the public public health, resulting in high mortality. 569 00:33:52,280 --> 00:33:58,360 Speaker 1: The Governor or his or her delegee, including local health 570 00:33:58,360 --> 00:34:03,600 Speaker 1: department commissioners, may order the removal and or detention of 571 00:34:03,600 --> 00:34:06,840 Speaker 1: such a person or a group of persons by issuing 572 00:34:06,880 --> 00:34:12,640 Speaker 1: a single order. That's right, the governor or any health 573 00:34:12,680 --> 00:34:16,800 Speaker 1: department official, or anyone else that he designates, can lock 574 00:34:16,920 --> 00:34:21,680 Speaker 1: you up, can detain you because they think you are 575 00:34:21,800 --> 00:34:25,120 Speaker 1: a health threat. Oh but this won't be abused, right, 576 00:34:25,760 --> 00:34:28,279 Speaker 1: This won't be used to get compliance. Really, speak out 577 00:34:28,320 --> 00:34:31,480 Speaker 1: against lockdowns. Refuse to wear your mask. You gotta get 578 00:34:31,480 --> 00:34:34,560 Speaker 1: locked up. You're a threat to public health. Don't you 579 00:34:34,680 --> 00:34:37,600 Speaker 1: see how this is playing out. Don't you see the 580 00:34:37,719 --> 00:34:39,880 Speaker 1: threat to your freedom and to your liberty from this. 581 00:34:40,280 --> 00:34:44,120 Speaker 1: It's not just in New York. This is the Democrat 582 00:34:44,200 --> 00:34:48,520 Speaker 1: mentality nationwide. It's not a question whether they want to 583 00:34:48,560 --> 00:34:51,920 Speaker 1: do this, it's do they have the power to implement 584 00:34:52,239 --> 00:34:58,960 Speaker 1: this kind of authoritarian insanity because they want to. You're 585 00:34:59,000 --> 00:35:02,800 Speaker 1: in the freedom hunt. This is the Buck Sexton Show podcast. 586 00:35:02,960 --> 00:35:05,880 Speaker 1: From more buck Head to Buck sexton dot com and 587 00:35:05,960 --> 00:35:10,360 Speaker 1: remember to subscribe to the podcast.

I'm good man. You know you you are 594 00:35:29,719 --> 00:35:33,200 Speaker 1: one of the original voices, kind of the with the 595 00:35:33,280 --> 00:35:36,919 Speaker 1: siren call of make your way down to Florida. It's 596 00:35:37,080 --> 00:35:39,960 Speaker 1: nice here. I've already lost I've lost two of my brothers. 597 00:35:40,000 --> 00:35:43,160 Speaker 1: I think they're never coming back. They're now flirta Florida guys. 598 00:35:43,440 --> 00:35:46,959 Speaker 1: They love the flip flops, the beautiful weather, the right 599 00:35:47,080 --> 00:35:50,520 Speaker 1: of center politics. I know there's still some big blue areas, 600 00:35:50,560 --> 00:35:53,880 Speaker 1: but they're they're having a good time. Um, what was 601 00:35:54,239 --> 00:35:56,440 Speaker 1: what was just your your your thought when you saw 602 00:35:56,719 --> 00:36:00,520 Speaker 1: Governor DeSantis dealing with that CNN report, which you know 603 00:36:00,600 --> 00:36:03,360 Speaker 1: she's doing the classic CNN thing. Let me just explain, 604 00:36:03,760 --> 00:36:07,719 Speaker 1: let me do an editorial of your failure and then 605 00:36:07,760 --> 00:36:09,920 Speaker 1: just sort of drop that in front of you and 606 00:36:10,320 --> 00:36:12,520 Speaker 1: let you sit there and fumble around with it. The 607 00:36:12,560 --> 00:36:16,360 Speaker 1: way that De Santis handled that question, given his record 608 00:36:16,440 --> 00:36:20,440 Speaker 1: this year in governing, makes me think maybe this guy's 609 00:36:20,480 --> 00:36:22,960 Speaker 1: got even bigger plants. You know, buck I have. I 610 00:36:23,040 --> 00:36:26,719 Speaker 1: was critical around De Santis early on this year when 611 00:36:26,760 --> 00:36:29,879 Speaker 1: covid firth became a thing right, and I have never 612 00:36:29,920 --> 00:36:33,760 Speaker 1: been happier to be dead wrong about a politician, especially 613 00:36:33,840 --> 00:36:37,040 Speaker 1: a Republican conservative. I treat him today after watching him. 614 00:36:37,040 --> 00:36:39,000 Speaker 1: He took down rows of Flora's from CNN for that 615 00:36:39,080 --> 00:36:42,440 Speaker 1: moronic question. Basically, she was trying to set him up, saying, well, 616 00:36:42,440 --> 00:36:45,080 Speaker 1: why is it the hospitals in Lee County, Florida, that's 617 00:36:45,080 --> 00:36:48,960 Speaker 1: the Fort Myers area, have these crazy crowds outside? Why 618 00:36:49,040 --> 00:36:52,000 Speaker 1: is there no system in place? And she had started 619 00:36:52,000 --> 00:36:53,920 Speaker 1: to ask the question and then wanted to pontificate like 620 00:36:53,920 --> 00:36:56,600 Speaker 1: these left wing reporters do. Just I'm throwing this out 621 00:36:56,600 --> 00:36:58,680 Speaker 1: there for the viewers reference point, and the Santis just 622 00:36:58,719 --> 00:37:00,439 Speaker 1: cut her off. He said, first of all, he's look 623 00:37:00,800 --> 00:37:03,719 Speaker 1: basically said, you're testifying, You're not asking a question, You're 624 00:37:03,719 --> 00:37:06,600 Speaker 1: asking three questions in one. Everybody else got one. But 625 00:37:06,680 --> 00:37:08,600 Speaker 1: what I loved was his answer. He said, the state 626 00:37:08,640 --> 00:37:12,600 Speaker 1: doesn't dictate how hospitals administer the vaccine. The state's gonna 627 00:37:12,680 --> 00:37:15,360 Speaker 1: get the vaccine at the hospital. And then he specifically 628 00:37:15,360 --> 00:37:18,399 Speaker 1: pointed out a healthcare executive. He was at Jackson Health, 629 00:37:18,440 --> 00:37:21,160 Speaker 1: which a big facility down to Miami, and he pointed 630 00:37:21,200 --> 00:37:23,680 Speaker 1: the guy out, mentioned his name and said, they know 631 00:37:23,880 --> 00:37:27,279 Speaker 1: how to do what they do hospitalization and healthcare far 632 00:37:27,360 --> 00:37:29,040 Speaker 1: better than the state does. That the state does it, 633 00:37:29,120 --> 00:37:32,000 Speaker 1: it's a disaster. And as answer in Lee County was 634 00:37:32,600 --> 00:37:35,359 Speaker 1: that the hospital in Lee County, at Fort Myers Area 635 00:37:35,440 --> 00:37:38,440 Speaker 1: Hospital said first come, first serve, we've got the vaccine. 636 00:37:38,480 --> 00:37:40,480 Speaker 1: That was great demand and people crowded it. Well, she 637 00:37:40,520 --> 00:37:42,120 Speaker 1: tried to blame it on him, and he said, hey, look, 638 00:37:42,120 --> 00:37:43,560 Speaker 1: we're not going to tell the state is not going 639 00:37:43,640 --> 00:37:47,440 Speaker 1: to tell hospitals how to administer healthcare. I think Ron 640 00:37:47,520 --> 00:37:50,840 Speaker 1: de Santis, there should be mandatory training with Ron de 641 00:37:50,920 --> 00:37:54,719 Speaker 1: Santis on how to handle hostel leftist media for Republican politicians. 642 00:37:54,719 --> 00:37:57,000 Speaker 1: At this point, he's doing a great job. Yeah, And 643 00:37:57,160 --> 00:38:00,320 Speaker 1: I also have noticed a game that the lib media 644 00:38:00,360 --> 00:38:03,319 Speaker 1: likes to play where if you if you let the 645 00:38:03,360 --> 00:38:05,400 Speaker 1: decision making, if you put the decision making in the 646 00:38:05,440 --> 00:38:08,520 Speaker 1: hands of the experts, and it's it's you know, there's 647 00:38:08,520 --> 00:38:11,799 Speaker 1: their problems. It's not rough you you have you know, 648 00:38:12,000 --> 00:38:15,600 Speaker 1: you've abdicated leadership. What's wrong with you? But if you 649 00:38:15,800 --> 00:38:18,720 Speaker 1: decide that you, as the you know, executive branch official 650 00:38:18,760 --> 00:38:20,759 Speaker 1: at the state level or even at the federal level, 651 00:38:21,000 --> 00:38:23,000 Speaker 1: are going to make the final call, it's why aren't 652 00:38:23,000 --> 00:38:26,280 Speaker 1: you listening to the experts? Right? You can't win either way, 653 00:38:27,400 --> 00:38:31,400 Speaker 1: to lose lose for the look they CNN, MSNBC, The 654 00:38:31,440 --> 00:38:36,480 Speaker 1: New York Times, the Washington Post ideologically, they cannot bring 655 00:38:36,520 --> 00:38:40,000 Speaker 1: themselves to admit that the private sector and the free 656 00:38:40,080 --> 00:38:44,719 Speaker 1: market exists. Let alone does things right, let alone has 657 00:38:44,800 --> 00:38:47,080 Speaker 1: the right to do things. So to them, it is 658 00:38:47,120 --> 00:38:51,960 Speaker 1: it is utterly perplexing. They're befuddled when a politician points 659 00:38:51,960 --> 00:38:56,359 Speaker 1: to a business executive and says, hey, that guy knows 660 00:38:56,360 --> 00:38:57,840 Speaker 1: how to do his job far better than we in 661 00:38:57,920 --> 00:38:59,960 Speaker 1: government do. If if if we in government did, it's a disaster. 662 00:39:00,440 --> 00:39:05,280 Speaker 1: That's horrific. That's horrific. That's like the torture of puppies 663 00:39:05,600 --> 00:39:08,520 Speaker 1: to the mainstream media, I mean, they can't think of 664 00:39:08,520 --> 00:39:11,319 Speaker 1: a more terrifying concept than giving the private sector the 665 00:39:11,360 --> 00:39:15,160 Speaker 1: freedom to operate. We're speaking of John Cardilla, former NYPD 666 00:39:15,480 --> 00:39:19,680 Speaker 1: and a conservative commentator John By the time people hear this, 667 00:39:19,800 --> 00:39:22,120 Speaker 1: they may have a little bit more info than we 668 00:39:22,200 --> 00:39:25,520 Speaker 1: do on on Georgia. But but just going into this 669 00:39:25,600 --> 00:39:28,319 Speaker 1: big day to day what are your thoughts, how are 670 00:39:28,320 --> 00:39:31,920 Speaker 1: you feeling about this? Obviously big steaks, you know, big stakes. 671 00:39:32,120 --> 00:39:36,799 Speaker 1: I'm just shocked. I am absolutely shocked at the Trafalgar Pole. Now, 672 00:39:36,960 --> 00:39:39,320 Speaker 1: Trafalgar Associate has been one of the better polling firms. 673 00:39:39,400 --> 00:39:42,680 Speaker 1: Robert Gaheley who runs it, a good guy, very reputable guy, 674 00:39:43,160 --> 00:39:47,200 Speaker 1: one of the few traditional pollsters I'll actually give credence to. 675 00:39:47,920 --> 00:39:51,400 Speaker 1: It is absolutely mind blowing to me. Buck at Raphael 676 00:39:51,440 --> 00:39:56,440 Speaker 1: Warnock with his history of racist statements, anti Semitic statements, 677 00:39:56,480 --> 00:40:00,399 Speaker 1: blocking a child abuse investigation at his camp, to which 678 00:40:00,400 --> 00:40:03,520 Speaker 1: the Georgia Bureau of Investigation Investigators, one of the most 679 00:40:03,640 --> 00:40:06,920 Speaker 1: professional law enforcement agencies in this country, said they've never 680 00:40:06,920 --> 00:40:10,480 Speaker 1: seen obstruction like that to his wife's allegations about abuse. 681 00:40:10,880 --> 00:40:14,400 Speaker 1: That this guy is polling a point ahead of the 682 00:40:14,440 --> 00:40:19,560 Speaker 1: Republican that John Assafa a Hollywood transplant into Georgia. So 683 00:40:19,840 --> 00:40:23,120 Speaker 1: I don't know if it says that the Republican Party 684 00:40:23,880 --> 00:40:26,000 Speaker 1: has dropped the ball on grassroots. I don't know if 685 00:40:26,000 --> 00:40:28,600 Speaker 1: it says they didn't spend enough money or if fraud 686 00:40:28,920 --> 00:40:33,120 Speaker 1: is just that rampant, and people like Stacey Abrahams have 687 00:40:33,200 --> 00:40:36,680 Speaker 1: done a good job combining that fraud with outreach, especially 688 00:40:36,760 --> 00:40:39,360 Speaker 1: in minority communities. But I'll tell you one thing, it 689 00:40:39,400 --> 00:40:43,120 Speaker 1: shouldn't be the Republicans in Georgia. You should be up 690 00:40:43,120 --> 00:40:45,680 Speaker 1: by six seven, eight points. And we need to do 691 00:40:45,719 --> 00:40:49,360 Speaker 1: a really, really thorough post mortem on how the Republican Party, 692 00:40:49,400 --> 00:40:53,399 Speaker 1: from the GOP to the National Republican Senatorial Committee, these 693 00:40:53,400 --> 00:40:57,920 Speaker 1: fundraising entities have operated throughout this election cycle. I think 694 00:40:57,960 --> 00:41:00,680 Speaker 1: it's abysmal that where where we are, and I'm concerned 695 00:41:01,400 --> 00:41:03,640 Speaker 1: that we might lose the Senate. We might wake up 696 00:41:03,680 --> 00:41:06,799 Speaker 1: tomorrow to Leader Schumer. But even more concerning buck last 697 00:41:06,840 --> 00:41:09,919 Speaker 1: point on this, why are we now being told yet 698 00:41:09,960 --> 00:41:12,440 Speaker 1: again that we might not have the results of this 699 00:41:12,520 --> 00:41:15,080 Speaker 1: election tonight, that it might take weeks. What is this 700 00:41:15,200 --> 00:41:18,880 Speaker 1: new president where we can't count an election on election 701 00:41:19,000 --> 00:41:21,640 Speaker 1: day and you've got the Georgians Secretary of State Ravensburger 702 00:41:21,960 --> 00:41:26,480 Speaker 1: acting very petty, acting questionably. He was interviewed by Martha 703 00:41:26,560 --> 00:41:29,320 Speaker 1: McCallum on Fox and his answer seemed like it was 704 00:41:29,400 --> 00:41:34,040 Speaker 1: a grudge match against him and David Purdue. Something really 705 00:41:34,520 --> 00:41:37,440 Speaker 1: isn't right in Georgia. And I believe that this is 706 00:41:37,480 --> 00:41:41,160 Speaker 1: going to be Brian Kemp and Ravensburger's last term in politics. 707 00:41:41,360 --> 00:41:43,680 Speaker 1: I don't think either one of them survives a primary 708 00:41:43,719 --> 00:41:46,080 Speaker 1: in twenty two And what do you think about the 709 00:41:46,080 --> 00:41:50,520 Speaker 1: President's continued what do we call it now? I mean 710 00:41:50,560 --> 00:41:53,400 Speaker 1: he's not conceding, he said last night at the rally. 711 00:41:53,520 --> 00:41:56,719 Speaker 1: We've got the Senator Ted Cruz along with I believe ten, oh, 712 00:41:56,800 --> 00:41:58,840 Speaker 1: no more than ten now because Leffler said that she 713 00:41:58,880 --> 00:42:02,520 Speaker 1: would also you know, if she is able to, she 714 00:42:02,560 --> 00:42:06,000 Speaker 1: would also stand with the president of this one or 715 00:42:06,160 --> 00:42:07,960 Speaker 1: she will I mean she's already said that she'll do 716 00:42:08,000 --> 00:42:11,399 Speaker 1: that because I guess it will happen this week. So 717 00:42:11,440 --> 00:42:14,720 Speaker 1: what exactly what do you think happens as a result 718 00:42:14,760 --> 00:42:19,800 Speaker 1: of this demand for the ten days of further investigation 719 00:42:20,080 --> 00:42:27,040 Speaker 1: into the presidential election vote situation in Georgia. I think 720 00:42:27,320 --> 00:42:30,080 Speaker 1: I hope something will happen. I don't think anything's going 721 00:42:30,120 --> 00:42:33,200 Speaker 1: to happen. Look, the Democrats have the majority, right, so 722 00:42:33,320 --> 00:42:35,040 Speaker 1: back in twenty sixteen, I think it was six or 723 00:42:35,080 --> 00:42:39,360 Speaker 1: seven Democratic senators objected to Donald Trump's election. Donald Trump 724 00:42:39,400 --> 00:42:43,640 Speaker 1: was inaugurated on January twentieth. I don't know barring. I mean, 725 00:42:43,719 --> 00:42:47,160 Speaker 1: I mean the Hiroshima, the the you know, the fat 726 00:42:47,200 --> 00:42:50,600 Speaker 1: Man and Little Boy nuke level of evidence that would 727 00:42:50,640 --> 00:42:53,680 Speaker 1: be required to overturn this barring that coming to light 728 00:42:53,760 --> 00:42:58,560 Speaker 1: today in tomorrow, that would force our entire judicial system, DOJ, 729 00:42:59,040 --> 00:43:02,839 Speaker 1: the courts, congres into action. I don't see anything changing 730 00:43:02,880 --> 00:43:05,840 Speaker 1: the outcome, and unfortunately, I think we're gonna endure a 731 00:43:05,920 --> 00:43:08,560 Speaker 1: Joe Biden presidency for a little while than a Kamala 732 00:43:08,560 --> 00:43:12,719 Speaker 1: Harris presidency until twenty twenty four. It because if they had, 733 00:43:12,760 --> 00:43:15,839 Speaker 1: if this smoking gun evidence existed, if this nuke level 734 00:43:15,880 --> 00:43:19,080 Speaker 1: evidence existed, I it would have been presented already. DC 735 00:43:19,280 --> 00:43:20,920 Speaker 1: leaks like a sieve. You and I are in this business. 736 00:43:20,960 --> 00:43:22,960 Speaker 1: We now that goes. It wouldn't have been under wraps. 737 00:43:23,880 --> 00:43:25,840 Speaker 1: I think the awareness is great. I love that a 738 00:43:25,840 --> 00:43:28,279 Speaker 1: few million people are showing up in DC tomorrow. I 739 00:43:28,280 --> 00:43:30,240 Speaker 1: think we could shine a bright later an election fraud. 740 00:43:30,280 --> 00:43:32,320 Speaker 1: We could make some changes in the party, more America 741 00:43:32,360 --> 00:43:35,640 Speaker 1: First people. But I just don't see the results of 742 00:43:35,680 --> 00:43:39,960 Speaker 1: this election changing. I'm disappointed because I really do believe 743 00:43:39,960 --> 00:43:41,359 Speaker 1: and I know you do too, And we've talked off 744 00:43:41,360 --> 00:43:44,600 Speaker 1: a lot about this extensively, that there were there were 745 00:43:44,680 --> 00:43:50,279 Speaker 1: intentional distortions and essentially subversions of the electoral process by 746 00:43:50,320 --> 00:43:53,640 Speaker 1: Democrats in this election year, so that it would be 747 00:43:53,719 --> 00:43:56,719 Speaker 1: very easy to commit fraud and also, and this is 748 00:43:56,719 --> 00:44:01,239 Speaker 1: the critical point, very hard to prove it. Said, I 749 00:44:01,360 --> 00:44:07,000 Speaker 1: also think that you know, they needed, we needed a clear, 750 00:44:07,640 --> 00:44:12,600 Speaker 1: bright red line caught fraud moments in this to blow 751 00:44:12,640 --> 00:44:15,239 Speaker 1: the whole thing open. And I'm not even going to 752 00:44:15,480 --> 00:44:17,919 Speaker 1: it's not that I don't think that happened, John, but 753 00:44:18,080 --> 00:44:20,960 Speaker 1: the inability to find that, and I know it's you know, 754 00:44:20,960 --> 00:44:24,000 Speaker 1: it's a short period of time everything else. You just 755 00:44:24,400 --> 00:44:27,080 Speaker 1: it's not what you know, it's what you can prove. 756 00:44:28,760 --> 00:44:30,600 Speaker 1: That's right. Yeah, Look, I mean you and I have 757 00:44:30,640 --> 00:44:33,400 Speaker 1: agreed on this for months. We spoke about it, We 758 00:44:33,400 --> 00:44:35,239 Speaker 1: saw it till last week at dinner, we spoke about this. 759 00:44:36,239 --> 00:44:38,319 Speaker 1: The problem is that I'm gonna place blame right here, 760 00:44:38,320 --> 00:44:41,200 Speaker 1: and I'm gonna name names. The Republican National Committee and 761 00:44:41,239 --> 00:44:45,880 Speaker 1: GOP chairwoman Ronna Romney McDaniel. They sat on hundreds of 762 00:44:45,960 --> 00:44:49,000 Speaker 1: billions of dollars for two years. They were warned about 763 00:44:49,080 --> 00:44:51,919 Speaker 1: voter fraud memos were generated with them a year ago 764 00:44:52,239 --> 00:44:56,200 Speaker 1: when the election was really in full swing. They did nothing. 765 00:44:56,640 --> 00:44:59,759 Speaker 1: They did nothing until the president deployed lawyers on a 766 00:45:00,000 --> 00:45:02,040 Speaker 1: election night, not even election night. The next morning at 767 00:45:02,040 --> 00:45:05,280 Speaker 1: about five am, is when he really weaponized and actionized 768 00:45:05,320 --> 00:45:08,120 Speaker 1: Reridy Giuliani to put a legal team in place. The 769 00:45:08,239 --> 00:45:12,359 Speaker 1: RNC could have had a preemptive legal strategy. They could 770 00:45:12,400 --> 00:45:17,800 Speaker 1: have had mathematicians, statisticians, litigators, election law experts, constitutional scholars. 771 00:45:17,960 --> 00:45:19,360 Speaker 1: They should have had all been in place for the 772 00:45:19,440 --> 00:45:22,359 Speaker 1: last year they were born. For two years. They saw 773 00:45:22,440 --> 00:45:25,480 Speaker 1: Russia Gate, they saw the nonsense, the impeachment sham. They 774 00:45:25,520 --> 00:45:30,400 Speaker 1: did nothing. They raised about a quarter billion dollars for 775 00:45:30,520 --> 00:45:32,680 Speaker 1: this legal effort to fight election fraud. They spent about 776 00:45:32,719 --> 00:45:34,759 Speaker 1: four million of it. Where is that the rest of 777 00:45:34,840 --> 00:45:38,040 Speaker 1: that quarter billion? So I squarely put this on the 778 00:45:38,040 --> 00:45:40,000 Speaker 1: shoulders of the RNC. They should have been in front 779 00:45:40,000 --> 00:45:45,280 Speaker 1: of this. They should have been proactive, and they handed 780 00:45:45,560 --> 00:45:47,440 Speaker 1: they handed the White House to Joe Biden because I'm 781 00:45:47,480 --> 00:45:50,960 Speaker 1: with you, there was glaring, rampant electrical front. But we 782 00:45:51,000 --> 00:45:52,799 Speaker 1: had to prove it, you know, we had we had 783 00:45:52,840 --> 00:45:56,440 Speaker 1: we had these meetings and hearings and you know, we're 784 00:45:56,480 --> 00:46:00,360 Speaker 1: sitting here saying okay, and ultimately I just feels like 785 00:46:00,440 --> 00:46:02,839 Speaker 1: yet another there was the the miss. You know, there 786 00:46:02,920 --> 00:46:06,879 Speaker 1: was the width at bat, so to speak, leading up 787 00:46:06,880 --> 00:46:09,880 Speaker 1: to election day, and then afterwards. Maybe it was asking 788 00:46:09,960 --> 00:46:12,120 Speaker 1: too much because of all the stuff that happened before, 789 00:46:12,200 --> 00:46:14,080 Speaker 1: but they had to get it together. It just feels 790 00:46:14,120 --> 00:46:18,080 Speaker 1: like they weren't able to pull that off. And I 791 00:46:18,120 --> 00:46:21,800 Speaker 1: just want to ask you this. You know, buck filings, 792 00:46:21,840 --> 00:46:24,279 Speaker 1: court filings take a while. The other side can run 793 00:46:24,320 --> 00:46:27,160 Speaker 1: the clock. It was ludicrous to start this effort after 794 00:46:27,200 --> 00:46:29,520 Speaker 1: election day, given us two months to do. It should 795 00:46:29,520 --> 00:46:32,239 Speaker 1: have been a year. Down there, Georgia was filing lawsuits 796 00:46:32,239 --> 00:46:35,120 Speaker 1: in Georgia a month ago for the special election. Before 797 00:46:35,160 --> 00:46:37,440 Speaker 1: the special election, they weren't waiting till the morning in 798 00:46:37,520 --> 00:46:41,120 Speaker 1: January sixth. The Democrats, John, do you think that there's 799 00:46:41,200 --> 00:46:44,120 Speaker 1: a hope or what do you what do you want 800 00:46:44,560 --> 00:46:48,759 Speaker 1: the Republican machinery of? And I'm just gonna say it. 801 00:46:48,800 --> 00:46:50,799 Speaker 1: I think we should take the term resistance back from 802 00:46:50,800 --> 00:46:52,680 Speaker 1: them now, you know, or we should use it and 803 00:46:53,000 --> 00:46:54,719 Speaker 1: turn it around in their face and say, okay, now 804 00:46:54,760 --> 00:46:57,640 Speaker 1: we're the hashtag resistance and we'll see how much we 805 00:46:57,680 --> 00:46:59,840 Speaker 1: have to do with that, depending on what the final 806 00:47:00,160 --> 00:47:03,279 Speaker 1: come here is on the Senate side. But well, do 807 00:47:03,280 --> 00:47:06,560 Speaker 1: you think that they can put more America First, more 808 00:47:07,320 --> 00:47:11,160 Speaker 1: MAGA type people in roles at the r NC, or 809 00:47:11,239 --> 00:47:14,600 Speaker 1: is the old GOP. Is this like the Empire strikes back? 810 00:47:14,680 --> 00:47:16,839 Speaker 1: What's gonna happen. It's a great question. I mean, I'll 811 00:47:16,840 --> 00:47:18,640 Speaker 1: tell you I've been very vocal about it. I'm working 812 00:47:18,680 --> 00:47:21,080 Speaker 1: over time to probably to help gut that place that 813 00:47:21,200 --> 00:47:23,120 Speaker 1: that's a swamp of swamps. I think one of the 814 00:47:23,120 --> 00:47:25,160 Speaker 1: things that needs to happen under the president, Like she's 815 00:47:25,200 --> 00:47:28,360 Speaker 1: a fan of yours. We know that he said so publicly. 816 00:47:28,360 --> 00:47:30,200 Speaker 1: If the President does happen to see this, I'll say, 817 00:47:30,239 --> 00:47:36,240 Speaker 1: mister President, rescind your endorsement of Ronna Romney McDaniel. Cut 818 00:47:36,280 --> 00:47:39,280 Speaker 1: the r RNC leadership on your way out the door, 819 00:47:39,480 --> 00:47:42,279 Speaker 1: and understand it's your party, we make it in your 820 00:47:42,320 --> 00:47:45,440 Speaker 1: America first image. Take that party over out the door. 821 00:47:45,800 --> 00:47:47,680 Speaker 1: That's the only way he needs to rescind that. One 822 00:47:47,680 --> 00:47:50,680 Speaker 1: of the biggest mistakes Donald Trump made was endorsing Rona 823 00:47:50,719 --> 00:47:54,359 Speaker 1: McDaniel for another term as RNC chairwoman. She is not 824 00:47:54,480 --> 00:47:57,200 Speaker 1: an ally. She's done nothing in fact, she and her 825 00:47:57,239 --> 00:48:00,200 Speaker 1: ilk they despise America First. But I will tell you this, Buck, 826 00:48:00,200 --> 00:48:01,680 Speaker 1: I've had a lot of meetings you and I've spoken 827 00:48:01,719 --> 00:48:04,960 Speaker 1: about the SOLF line with very high net worth former 828 00:48:05,320 --> 00:48:08,560 Speaker 1: RNC megadonnors who will never give the RNC another penny. 829 00:48:08,920 --> 00:48:11,759 Speaker 1: They'd rather donate directly to candidates or to entities that 830 00:48:11,800 --> 00:48:13,960 Speaker 1: will be a thorn America first, entities that'll be a 831 00:48:13,960 --> 00:48:17,360 Speaker 1: thorn in the side of the RNC. John Cardillo, everybody 832 00:48:17,719 --> 00:48:20,360 Speaker 1: follow him on social on Twitter if you're not already, 833 00:48:20,560 --> 00:48:22,600 Speaker 1: and keep an eye off for some things he's got 834 00:48:22,600 --> 00:48:25,200 Speaker 1: coming this year. John, my friend, good to have you, 835 00:48:26,640 --> 00:48:28,040 Speaker 1: always great to see about. Thanks
