8
00:00:23,360 --> 00:00:25,400
Speaker 1: the holiday season. A lot of people on the road

9
00:00:25,480 --> 00:00:29,040
Speaker 1: in November and December. Maybe you're running around for Halloween,

10
00:00:29,160 --> 00:00:31,600
Speaker 1: which will be here in five days. I know a

11
00:00:31,640 --> 00:00:33,880
Speaker 1: lot of people paying attention to what the weather will

12
00:00:33,920 --> 00:00:36,040
Speaker 1: be in your neck of the woods as you get

13
00:00:36,080 --> 00:00:38,680
Speaker 1: ready to take those kids or grandkids out and have

14
00:00:38,720 --> 00:00:40,640
Speaker 1: a good time running all over the place with them.

15
00:00:40,760 --> 00:00:42,479
Speaker 1: So Buck and I are breaking down as we sit

16
00:00:42,520 --> 00:00:46,640
Speaker 1: here thirteen days from the official mid term election date.

17
00:00:46,680 --> 00:00:50,120
Speaker 1: Although we now have basically election months all over this country,

18
00:00:50,159 --> 00:00:52,800
Speaker 1: many of you already have cast your ballot. I think

19
00:00:52,840 --> 00:00:54,560
Speaker 1: I'm going to go early this week, go ahead and

20
00:00:54,600 --> 00:00:58,520
Speaker 1: get mine taken care of here in Tennessee. But I

21
00:00:58,600 --> 00:01:02,640
Speaker 1: watched Buck three big debates. As I know many of

22
00:01:02,640 --> 00:01:04,600
Speaker 1: you in different parts of the country did as well.

23
00:01:04,880 --> 00:01:07,560
Speaker 1: We had the Pennsylvania Senate debate between Federman and Oz.

24
00:01:07,920 --> 00:01:12,000
Speaker 1: We had the Michigan Governors debate between Tutor Dixon and

25
00:01:12,480 --> 00:01:15,080
Speaker 1: Gretchen Whitmer, and then we also had the debate going

26
00:01:15,120 --> 00:01:19,399
Speaker 1: on pretty much simultaneously in New York between Kathy Hokel

27
00:01:19,480 --> 00:01:24,840
Speaker 1: and leez Elden. And objectively, if you watch these debates,

28
00:01:25,720 --> 00:01:32,000
Speaker 1: this was an absolute catastrophe for Democrats in Pennsylvania, and

29
00:01:32,120 --> 00:01:34,640
Speaker 1: it was not good at all for Democrats in New

30
00:01:34,760 --> 00:01:39,600
Speaker 1: York or Michigan. All three of these races, relatively tight,

31
00:01:40,120 --> 00:01:42,959
Speaker 1: could go either direction, and Buck, you know this, but

32
00:01:43,000 --> 00:01:45,200
Speaker 1: I think a lot of people, even on the campaigns,

33
00:01:45,200 --> 00:01:50,160
Speaker 1: are still learning it. The debate itself exists, and then

34
00:01:50,240 --> 00:01:53,520
Speaker 1: you have the reverberations of the debate, by which I

35
00:01:53,520 --> 00:01:57,680
Speaker 1: mean the clips that will circulate of candidate X saying

36
00:01:57,880 --> 00:02:01,200
Speaker 1: why that circulate all over the play, which means that

37
00:02:01,280 --> 00:02:05,280
Speaker 1: the fallout from these debates can reverberate for a couple

38
00:02:05,320 --> 00:02:08,520
Speaker 1: of different days, maybe even longer. If there are truly

39
00:02:08,800 --> 00:02:13,720
Speaker 1: iconic signatory moments that grasp a lot of attention, and

40
00:02:13,840 --> 00:02:17,160
Speaker 1: they were so bad, Buck, the Democrats in Pennsylvania, New

41
00:02:17,240 --> 00:02:21,040
Speaker 1: York and Michigan that it left me thinking, how does

42
00:02:21,040 --> 00:02:24,080
Speaker 1: this happen? And then obviously you've got an Arizona Katie

43
00:02:24,120 --> 00:02:28,160
Speaker 1: Hobbs won't even show up. We've talked about how Blake Masters, who,

44
00:02:28,200 --> 00:02:31,120
Speaker 1: by the way, is now tied in a Democrat poll

45
00:02:31,200 --> 00:02:33,720
Speaker 1: with Mark Kelly. If you're listening to us in Arizona,

46
00:02:33,800 --> 00:02:36,920
Speaker 1: that I believe as a race that Blake Masters is

47
00:02:36,919 --> 00:02:40,760
Speaker 1: going to win before all is said and done. How

48
00:02:40,760 --> 00:02:43,720
Speaker 1: are they so bad? How are they so bad? We

49
00:02:43,880 --> 00:02:47,040
Speaker 1: val Demmings was a disaster on the stage with Marco Rubio.

50
00:02:48,320 --> 00:02:53,120
Speaker 1: Reverend Rafael Warnuck got destroyed by Herschel. I think I

51
00:02:53,160 --> 00:02:55,120
Speaker 1: know an answer. This is my theory. I'm curious what

52
00:02:55,160 --> 00:02:58,120
Speaker 1: you think, Buck. I think the media has become so

53
00:02:58,200 --> 00:03:03,440
Speaker 1: biased that they don't ever ask Democrats difficult questions, and

54
00:03:03,560 --> 00:03:06,720
Speaker 1: as a result, they're like a sports team that only

55
00:03:06,840 --> 00:03:11,520
Speaker 1: plays against lightweight competition, and when they actually have to

56
00:03:12,160 --> 00:03:16,800
Speaker 1: defend their positions, they aren't prepared to do it because

57
00:03:16,800 --> 00:03:20,440
Speaker 1: they've gotten used to such softballs that they're not in

58
00:03:20,720 --> 00:03:24,200
Speaker 1: sort of fighting shape. Do you buy this? That's definitely

59
00:03:24,240 --> 00:03:26,880
Speaker 1: a part of it. I would say that bias in

60
00:03:26,919 --> 00:03:29,800
Speaker 1: the media. I'm not even sure that's the right term anymore,

61
00:03:29,880 --> 00:03:36,000
Speaker 1: because I think bias implies that it's it's in the background. Right. Oh,

62
00:03:36,040 --> 00:03:40,160
Speaker 1: I'm a journal but okay, maybe I'm a Democrat at heart,

63
00:03:40,160 --> 00:03:43,320
Speaker 1: but I'm a journal first and foremost. They are activists. Now.

64
00:03:43,640 --> 00:03:46,680
Speaker 1: They are going out there every day and they're trying

65
00:03:46,760 --> 00:03:51,280
Speaker 1: to bring about a result that is favorable to the left,

66
00:03:51,920 --> 00:03:54,920
Speaker 1: with the even and how they cover local news, even

67
00:03:54,920 --> 00:03:57,960
Speaker 1: on how they cover the most basic minut things. You know,

68
00:03:58,120 --> 00:04:03,920
Speaker 1: when someone rights about a you know, a transgender singer

69
00:04:04,600 --> 00:04:09,720
Speaker 1: that he that she used his male genitalia to play

70
00:04:09,760 --> 00:04:12,200
Speaker 1: the piano, right, I told you about that yesterday. They're

71
00:04:12,240 --> 00:04:16,560
Speaker 1: doing this for a result, well not that for a result,

72
00:04:16,560 --> 00:04:19,360
Speaker 1: but you know, they're they're using certain language. She used

73
00:04:19,400 --> 00:04:23,400
Speaker 1: her penis I think was the phrase yes, yes, yes,

74
00:04:23,400 --> 00:04:25,720
Speaker 1: which is which should which should be a little bit

75
00:04:25,680 --> 00:04:28,240
Speaker 1: of yeah, there should be a little bit of like

76
00:04:28,240 --> 00:04:32,080
Speaker 1: wait a second, why so? So that's a part of this.

77
00:04:32,440 --> 00:04:36,640
Speaker 1: But but even even beyond that, Clay Um, I think

78
00:04:36,680 --> 00:04:39,279
Speaker 1: that we have seen and you can really trace it

79
00:04:39,279 --> 00:04:41,800
Speaker 1: back to the beginning of the Obama administration and the

80
00:04:41,880 --> 00:04:46,359
Speaker 1: kinds of people who were in very prominent positions in

81
00:04:46,440 --> 00:04:50,560
Speaker 1: the Obama years his top advisors. Uh, the people in

82
00:04:50,600 --> 00:04:54,280
Speaker 1: the media who were big Obama supporters back then. You

83
00:04:54,400 --> 00:04:57,800
Speaker 1: have radicals now, I mean the Bolsheviks within the Democrat

84
00:04:57,880 --> 00:05:01,120
Speaker 1: Party are in charge now. Anyway, who knows the basic

85
00:05:01,240 --> 00:05:05,960
Speaker 1: history of the Russian then Soviet Revolution knows that there

86
00:05:05,960 --> 00:05:08,200
Speaker 1: were the Bolsheviks and the Mensheviks, and there were different

87
00:05:08,240 --> 00:05:11,880
Speaker 1: groups in the early phases after the abdication of Czar

88
00:05:12,040 --> 00:05:14,800
Speaker 1: Nicholas that did a little bit of working together, and

89
00:05:14,800 --> 00:05:17,120
Speaker 1: then they all started fighting. And why the Bolsheviks win

90
00:05:17,200 --> 00:05:20,200
Speaker 1: Because they were ruthless and they were a totalitarian and

91
00:05:20,240 --> 00:05:23,320
Speaker 1: it was their way, or you know, very bad things

92
00:05:23,320 --> 00:05:27,760
Speaker 1: happened to you. The Democrats no longer have the mechanisms

93
00:05:27,839 --> 00:05:30,840
Speaker 1: for self correction within the party and within the media.

94
00:05:30,920 --> 00:05:33,479
Speaker 1: You must be a true believer all the way. You

95
00:05:33,560 --> 00:05:37,320
Speaker 1: must say that. Look at Joe Biden. Joe Biden is

96
00:05:37,400 --> 00:05:40,520
Speaker 1: supposed to be what the Democrats were, which is a

97
00:05:40,560 --> 00:05:43,920
Speaker 1: party of people who are left of center but still

98
00:05:43,960 --> 00:05:48,120
Speaker 1: have some traditional roots, still have that aw shucks common

99
00:05:48,240 --> 00:05:51,360
Speaker 1: sense thing that will come out occasionally. Right, that's not

100
00:05:51,360 --> 00:05:54,120
Speaker 1: true at all anymore. Joe Biden is saying it's immoral

101
00:05:54,160 --> 00:05:57,719
Speaker 1: if you try to stop miners from getting gender transition surgery.

102
00:05:58,120 --> 00:06:01,640
Speaker 1: You are no longer allowed in ACRAT party to be

103
00:06:01,800 --> 00:06:05,279
Speaker 1: a person who has nuance or who has moderation on

104
00:06:05,400 --> 00:06:07,960
Speaker 1: a whole range of beliefs. Abortion is one of them,

105
00:06:08,000 --> 00:06:11,080
Speaker 1: which we've seen. This has been a big problem for them, Clay.

106
00:06:11,120 --> 00:06:13,800
Speaker 1: You know, they try to say, oh, Republicans are so radical,

107
00:06:13,839 --> 00:06:16,560
Speaker 1: Republicans are so radical on the abortion issue. Hold on.

108
00:06:16,600 --> 00:06:19,240
Speaker 1: I mean Florida, for example, has a fifteen week ban.

109
00:06:20,200 --> 00:06:23,279
Speaker 1: That's not radical, and any reasonable you know, any reasonable

110
00:06:23,240 --> 00:06:26,159
Speaker 1: persons AMA can't be radical. That's a very centrist position.

111
00:06:26,200 --> 00:06:29,279
Speaker 1: By the polling, how many Democrats are out there saying yeah,

112
00:06:29,279 --> 00:06:32,279
Speaker 1: that's okay, not a single one all nine months of

113
00:06:32,279 --> 00:06:35,320
Speaker 1: the pregnancy or nothing. They become a party of radicals,

114
00:06:35,360 --> 00:06:39,360
Speaker 1: disconnected from the very independence and moderates that they proclaim

115
00:06:39,480 --> 00:06:42,440
Speaker 1: to represent. And that's part I think of what you're

116
00:06:42,440 --> 00:06:44,919
Speaker 1: seeing as well with what you said, which is that

117
00:06:44,960 --> 00:06:47,560
Speaker 1: they're also just untested. I mean they've got candidates going

118
00:06:47,560 --> 00:06:51,839
Speaker 1: out Katie Hobbs, who where does this person come from? Yeah,

119
00:06:51,960 --> 00:06:55,600
Speaker 1: they're untested and also by and large not question very aggressively.

120
00:06:55,720 --> 00:06:57,800
Speaker 1: I'm glad you brought up that abortion thing because It

121
00:06:57,880 --> 00:07:00,760
Speaker 1: was a big point of discussion with oz in Fetterman,

122
00:07:00,800 --> 00:07:02,120
Speaker 1: and I would just say this to a lot of

123
00:07:02,160 --> 00:07:05,520
Speaker 1: candidates or people who are out there listening. Oz kept

124
00:07:05,560 --> 00:07:09,200
Speaker 1: saying thirty six or thirty eight weeks. I think it

125
00:07:09,240 --> 00:07:12,240
Speaker 1: works way better if you say nine months. Yep, because

126
00:07:12,360 --> 00:07:15,840
Speaker 1: a lot of people and doctor Oz is a doctor,

127
00:07:15,880 --> 00:07:18,560
Speaker 1: so he may think of pregnancy in terms of weeks.

128
00:07:19,040 --> 00:07:21,800
Speaker 1: Most people, once you get past the first few weeks.

129
00:07:21,800 --> 00:07:24,720
Speaker 1: I'm just speaking as a regular dad who had three kids,

130
00:07:25,160 --> 00:07:27,480
Speaker 1: you start thinking about it in terms of months, right,

131
00:07:27,520 --> 00:07:29,840
Speaker 1: So like, oh, we're eight months in. Oh we're seven

132
00:07:29,880 --> 00:07:32,880
Speaker 1: months in. Oh we're nine So I think it's way

133
00:07:32,920 --> 00:07:35,600
Speaker 1: more effective in stay instead of saying thirty six weeks

134
00:07:35,720 --> 00:07:39,880
Speaker 1: or thirty eight weeks, say Fetterman supports, which he does,

135
00:07:40,360 --> 00:07:44,680
Speaker 1: abortion up to the ninth month of pregnancy, because everybody

136
00:07:44,800 --> 00:07:49,160
Speaker 1: understands ninth month of pregnancy means and looks like you know.

137
00:07:49,200 --> 00:07:55,360
Speaker 1: They also the radicals who achieve such prominence in the

138
00:07:55,640 --> 00:07:58,920
Speaker 1: Trump years, all the journals who just became rabbit anti

139
00:07:59,000 --> 00:08:02,560
Speaker 1: Trump activists, they have far left politics, so they achieved

140
00:08:02,560 --> 00:08:06,920
Speaker 1: a degree of power the craziest anti trumpers. This is

141
00:08:06,920 --> 00:08:09,000
Speaker 1: important fee and by the way. There obviously are some

142
00:08:09,040 --> 00:08:10,960
Speaker 1: anti trumpers on the right who pretend to be or

143
00:08:11,080 --> 00:08:12,920
Speaker 1: they were on the right and they switched over. They've

144
00:08:12,960 --> 00:08:16,800
Speaker 1: also gone crazy too. Yeah. Yeah, the more psychotically anti

145
00:08:16,840 --> 00:08:20,679
Speaker 1: Trump you were as a Democrat, whether an office or

146
00:08:20,720 --> 00:08:23,760
Speaker 1: in the newsroom for four years, the more it advanced

147
00:08:23,800 --> 00:08:26,720
Speaker 1: your career and your power. Well, once they put Biden

148
00:08:26,760 --> 00:08:30,320
Speaker 1: into office, guess who's really calling the shots day in

149
00:08:30,360 --> 00:08:33,280
Speaker 1: and day out within that party. When we talk about

150
00:08:33,280 --> 00:08:36,600
Speaker 1: AOC as an Instagram influencer, true, but she also has

151
00:08:36,640 --> 00:08:38,839
Speaker 1: a lot of influence because of that right, she also

152
00:08:38,960 --> 00:08:40,960
Speaker 1: was able to direct a lot of the conversation. The

153
00:08:41,040 --> 00:08:45,360
Speaker 1: Democrat Party has become the radical body of lunacy that

154
00:08:45,440 --> 00:08:48,240
Speaker 1: you and I remind everybody about day in and day out,

155
00:08:48,679 --> 00:08:51,559
Speaker 1: and this election. Because Democrats have been in charge, you

156
00:08:51,640 --> 00:08:54,000
Speaker 1: might say, oh, well, why were they so radical owner Trump?

157
00:08:54,080 --> 00:08:56,560
Speaker 1: When you're on the opposition, it's much easier to hide

158
00:08:56,840 --> 00:08:59,120
Speaker 1: because you can just say whatever you want to say.

159
00:08:59,600 --> 00:09:03,280
Speaker 1: What they've done for two years has added to the

160
00:09:03,920 --> 00:09:07,280
Speaker 1: perception that there a radical party. The spending, the wide

161
00:09:07,280 --> 00:09:12,199
Speaker 1: open border, the defund police enacted not just talked about Clay.

162
00:09:12,240 --> 00:09:14,600
Speaker 1: This is where everyone's saying well, hold on a second,

163
00:09:14,960 --> 00:09:18,080
Speaker 1: where is the moderation from within this Democrat Party? And

164
00:09:18,120 --> 00:09:21,200
Speaker 1: I think between the media and the Democrat Party apparatus

165
00:09:21,840 --> 00:09:25,800
Speaker 1: that has broken down entirely. Who are the moderates now? No,

166
00:09:25,960 --> 00:09:27,880
Speaker 1: it's a good point, and I also think this is

167
00:09:27,920 --> 00:09:31,880
Speaker 1: where the algorithmic rig job has actually led Democrats off

168
00:09:31,920 --> 00:09:36,360
Speaker 1: the edge of a cliff because they really don't understand

169
00:09:36,760 --> 00:09:40,079
Speaker 1: the American public because they're so obsessed with the fact

170
00:09:40,120 --> 00:09:45,280
Speaker 1: that what somebody said got twenty thousand likes on Twitter. Well,

171
00:09:45,280 --> 00:09:47,679
Speaker 1: what if most of those twenty thousand likes are a

172
00:09:47,679 --> 00:09:51,240
Speaker 1: bot army that isn't in any way representative of the

173
00:09:51,280 --> 00:09:54,640
Speaker 1: audience that you actually are in charge of trying to

174
00:09:54,679 --> 00:09:57,439
Speaker 1: advocate for. And by the way, we should probably go

175
00:09:57,440 --> 00:10:00,200
Speaker 1: ahead and play a couple of these clips because you

176
00:10:00,320 --> 00:10:03,480
Speaker 1: heard Fetterman yourself in the first hour, and if you haven't,

177
00:10:03,520 --> 00:10:05,560
Speaker 1: I would encourage you. Just go to my Twitter feed

178
00:10:05,559 --> 00:10:07,720
Speaker 1: at Clay Travis scrolled down, you'll see a lot of

179
00:10:07,720 --> 00:10:09,840
Speaker 1: these clips. They'll be up on Clay and buck dot

180
00:10:09,840 --> 00:10:12,360
Speaker 1: com as well. I think it's important to share these

181
00:10:12,400 --> 00:10:16,440
Speaker 1: and let your friends and family know. But here are

182
00:10:16,559 --> 00:10:21,920
Speaker 1: the defenses, right, So Senator Bob Casey said that Fetterman's message,

183
00:10:21,920 --> 00:10:25,400
Speaker 1: you see this buck came through very clearly. His answers

184
00:10:25,440 --> 00:10:30,600
Speaker 1: were very direct. Listen, it came through very clearly. I

185
00:10:30,600 --> 00:10:33,720
Speaker 1: think his answers were very direct. I think there's some

186
00:10:33,760 --> 00:10:36,520
Speaker 1: real question on the other side about a number of

187
00:10:36,559 --> 00:10:38,439
Speaker 1: answers where that it didn't seem to be a yes

188
00:10:38,559 --> 00:10:40,360
Speaker 1: or no. But I think John did very well, and

189
00:10:40,400 --> 00:10:44,360
Speaker 1: I think he understands how people struggle. He understands what

190
00:10:44,440 --> 00:10:46,480
Speaker 1: working families are up against every day, and I think

191
00:10:46,480 --> 00:10:50,280
Speaker 1: that came through throughout the debate. I mean, you're you're

192
00:10:50,280 --> 00:10:52,840
Speaker 1: seeing here, Clay, And look, I was a paid political

193
00:10:52,880 --> 00:10:55,439
Speaker 1: analyst at CNN for a couple of years and left

194
00:10:55,480 --> 00:10:57,880
Speaker 1: and said I'm not coming back. I will never come

195
00:10:57,920 --> 00:11:02,079
Speaker 1: back under certainly under the Zucker administration in there who's

196
00:11:02,120 --> 00:11:06,520
Speaker 1: now out. But you're seeing who's willing to say absolutely

197
00:11:06,559 --> 00:11:09,360
Speaker 1: anything for a paycheck. I mean, within the Democrat ranks

198
00:11:09,559 --> 00:11:13,680
Speaker 1: have no self respect, no integrity, and what they do whatsoever.

199
00:11:14,880 --> 00:11:19,079
Speaker 1: This is this is just unthinkable for any person who

200
00:11:19,120 --> 00:11:21,760
Speaker 1: cares about how they're coming off to suggest that Fetterman

201
00:11:21,840 --> 00:11:24,439
Speaker 1: did a good job. Clay debates, as you know, and

202
00:11:24,520 --> 00:11:26,840
Speaker 1: he was watching debate usually already has in mind who

203
00:11:26,880 --> 00:11:29,080
Speaker 1: they want to vote for A debate that is a

204
00:11:29,080 --> 00:11:34,960
Speaker 1: total ass whooping is fifty five forty five, maybe sixty forty.

205
00:11:35,040 --> 00:11:38,120
Speaker 1: This was like eighty five fifteen based on the polling.

206
00:11:38,440 --> 00:11:40,480
Speaker 1: I don't even just yeah, right, and I don't mean

207
00:11:40,760 --> 00:11:43,200
Speaker 1: that fifteen percent or out of their minds. Yeah, this

208
00:11:43,440 --> 00:11:47,120
Speaker 1: was the worst debate I've ever seen any candidate engage

209
00:11:47,160 --> 00:11:50,400
Speaker 1: in in my life. And it was so bad. I'm

210
00:11:50,440 --> 00:11:52,880
Speaker 1: curious what the final talking points are going to be.

211
00:11:53,120 --> 00:11:55,600
Speaker 1: The initial talking points where oh, he did a good job,

212
00:11:55,640 --> 00:11:57,599
Speaker 1: which is just so laughably absurd, they're going to have

213
00:11:57,679 --> 00:12:00,760
Speaker 1: to move off of it. And then I've seen people saying, well,

214
00:12:01,200 --> 00:12:03,720
Speaker 1: now the argument this is from the view the new

215
00:12:03,760 --> 00:12:07,360
Speaker 1: talking points are doctor Oz was too mean to John

216
00:12:07,400 --> 00:12:10,280
Speaker 1: Fetterman because he had a stroke and he's a bully

217
00:12:10,360 --> 00:12:12,840
Speaker 1: to be debating him. Listen, it was really strange to

218
00:12:12,840 --> 00:12:16,520
Speaker 1: me that he chose to bully a stroke victim. Yeah right,

219
00:12:16,600 --> 00:12:20,200
Speaker 1: Like he obviously was bullying him. And you know, I

220
00:12:20,240 --> 00:12:22,960
Speaker 1: don't think the people of Pennsylvania or the people in

221
00:12:23,000 --> 00:12:28,120
Speaker 1: general liked that. Because Fetterman raised one million dollars after

222
00:12:28,120 --> 00:12:30,720
Speaker 1: that debate, and I think it takes real courage to

223
00:12:30,800 --> 00:12:32,760
Speaker 1: show that you've been knocked down. I think it takes

224
00:12:32,760 --> 00:12:36,720
Speaker 1: real bravery to allow people to see your weakness, right,

225
00:12:37,840 --> 00:12:41,640
Speaker 1: I mean that's poetics. She has no intellectual honesty or

226
00:12:42,120 --> 00:12:46,880
Speaker 1: or you know. I actually thought Oz did a good

227
00:12:46,960 --> 00:12:49,880
Speaker 1: job of avoiding what she was trying to accuse him of,

228
00:12:50,360 --> 00:12:54,840
Speaker 1: because Fetterman was so incompetent that Oz was almost like

229
00:12:54,920 --> 00:12:57,920
Speaker 1: the guy saying, hey, I'm just gonna Yeah, you don't

230
00:12:57,920 --> 00:12:59,760
Speaker 1: want to get on the crazy train, right, and some

231
00:13:00,040 --> 00:13:02,760
Speaker 1: times you can go down into the crazy train with somebody.

232
00:13:02,840 --> 00:13:05,040
Speaker 1: And it was like Oz was thinking what I watched.

233
00:13:05,080 --> 00:13:06,920
Speaker 1: He was focused on his seat. He was just making

234
00:13:07,000 --> 00:13:09,320
Speaker 1: his arguments. Yeah, that's right, he was. He was running

235
00:13:09,360 --> 00:13:12,280
Speaker 1: his own race. And there was this other guy who was,

236
00:13:12,400 --> 00:13:14,800
Speaker 1: you know, muttering gibberish on the stage along with him,

237
00:13:14,800 --> 00:13:18,559
Speaker 1: but he was not going after him in a nasty way,

238
00:13:18,559 --> 00:13:20,079
Speaker 1: which would have been a which wouldn't have been a

239
00:13:20,080 --> 00:13:22,880
Speaker 1: good look. But that didn't happen. And it's just the

240
00:13:23,000 --> 00:13:26,480
Speaker 1: arguments they're making here. They can't believe this as they

241
00:13:26,559 --> 00:13:30,520
Speaker 1: say it, right, The people that are claiming that what

242
00:13:30,559 --> 00:13:33,160
Speaker 1: you're seeing from Fetterman is some form of bravery or

243
00:13:33,200 --> 00:13:35,439
Speaker 1: that it's ableism. I mean, that was the most pathetic

244
00:13:35,440 --> 00:13:37,680
Speaker 1: thing I saw on Twitter. People like it's ableism to

245
00:13:37,840 --> 00:13:41,320
Speaker 1: criticize him for it is not ableism. The twenty fifth

246
00:13:41,320 --> 00:13:44,360
Speaker 1: Amendment exists for a reason. It's not ableism. Okay, if

247
00:13:44,360 --> 00:13:47,600
Speaker 1: the president lapses into a coma, it's not ableism to

248
00:13:47,640 --> 00:13:50,520
Speaker 1: say we need a new president. If you get into

249
00:13:50,559 --> 00:13:54,320
Speaker 1: the boxing ring to fight and you get your ass kicked,

250
00:13:54,600 --> 00:13:58,079
Speaker 1: it's not the responsibility of the person kicking your ass

251
00:13:58,200 --> 00:14:02,000
Speaker 1: to not win the fight. Right. Your corner can throw

252
00:14:02,040 --> 00:14:03,800
Speaker 1: the white towel, which is what they should have done.

253
00:14:03,840 --> 00:14:05,800
Speaker 1: And Buck, we didn't even play this audio, but I

254
00:14:05,840 --> 00:14:09,360
Speaker 1: thought it was indicative of how bad Oz was in

255
00:14:09,400 --> 00:14:12,200
Speaker 1: control of his mental faculties. Did you hear him, Like

256
00:14:12,280 --> 00:14:16,160
Speaker 1: when Oz was doing his closing argument, he just randomly

257
00:14:16,240 --> 00:14:21,000
Speaker 1: yells out social Security he's cutting and the moderators are like, hey,

258
00:14:21,560 --> 00:14:25,320
Speaker 1: he's doing his closing argument now, like like, what are

259
00:14:25,320 --> 00:14:29,880
Speaker 1: you doing? It was so transparent that he is not

260
00:14:30,080 --> 00:14:33,360
Speaker 1: in physical control of his abilities. And again, if you're

261
00:14:33,680 --> 00:14:36,080
Speaker 1: if you're out there running for a job and you

262
00:14:36,120 --> 00:14:38,280
Speaker 1: can do the job, you shouldn't be hired for it.

263
00:14:38,320 --> 00:14:41,360
Speaker 1: That's what Pennsylvanians have to decide. Business owners don't have

264
00:14:41,400 --> 00:14:44,480
Speaker 1: it easy these days, rising costs, hard to find employees,

265
00:14:44,880 --> 00:14:49,280
Speaker 1: and the COVID hangover. It's an imperfect trifecta. You could

266
00:14:49,360 --> 00:14:51,720
Speaker 1: use a break. I've got one for you. If your

267
00:14:51,800 --> 00:14:54,960
Speaker 1: business has five or more employees and made it through COVID,

268
00:14:55,520 --> 00:14:58,760
Speaker 1: you could be eligible to receive a payroll tax rebate

269
00:14:58,800 --> 00:15:01,720
Speaker 1: of up to twenty six thousand dollars per employee. This

270
00:15:01,840 --> 00:15:06,360
Speaker 1: isn't alone, no payback, It's just a refund of your taxes.

00:15:58,520 --> 00:16:04,200
Speaker 1: Is such a social child warrior man who's seeking equity

285
00:16:04,760 --> 00:16:07,800
Speaker 1: all the time. At least that's what he wants the

286
00:16:08,000 --> 00:16:10,160
Speaker 1: Democrat base to believe. He just says whatever they tell

287
00:16:10,200 --> 00:16:12,560
Speaker 1: him to say. But people are like, wait, hold on

288
00:16:12,560 --> 00:16:16,080
Speaker 1: a second airline. Travel is uncomfortable for pretty much all

289
00:16:16,120 --> 00:16:19,520
Speaker 1: of us. I fly coach. It is not fun. You

290
00:16:19,560 --> 00:16:22,280
Speaker 1: will see me in coach, Yes, that is me, and

291
00:16:22,560 --> 00:16:26,080
Speaker 1: there's not enough legroom. Joe Biden thinks that this is

292
00:16:26,120 --> 00:16:30,320
Speaker 1: an issue that disproportionately affects Well, here's what he says.

293
00:16:30,560 --> 00:16:33,560
Speaker 1: Some airlines, if you want six more inches between you

294
00:16:33,640 --> 00:16:35,920
Speaker 1: and the seat in front, you pay more money. But

295
00:16:36,040 --> 00:16:40,920
Speaker 1: you don't know it until you purchase your ticket. Lord, folks,

296
00:16:40,920 --> 00:16:42,920
Speaker 1: these are junk fees. They are unfair, and they hidden

297
00:16:43,120 --> 00:16:46,840
Speaker 1: marginalized Americans the hardest, especially low income folks and people

298
00:16:46,880 --> 00:16:52,800
Speaker 1: of color, especially people of color. My knees are in

299
00:16:52,840 --> 00:16:54,120
Speaker 1: the back of the seat. And fun, I mean on

300
00:16:54,120 --> 00:16:56,240
Speaker 1: every flight. I'm on, I just don't. This is like

301
00:16:56,280 --> 00:16:59,560
Speaker 1: the most we all suffer together in this all American

302
00:16:59,640 --> 00:17:06,960
Speaker 1: stuff are in the crappy, narrow airline seat situation. This

303
00:17:07,119 --> 00:17:11,320
Speaker 1: is unfathomably dumb to me. We are thirteen days from

304
00:17:11,320 --> 00:17:15,080
Speaker 1: a mid term and they have now decided their message

305
00:17:15,080 --> 00:17:19,720
Speaker 1: for the day is people of color don't have enough

306
00:17:19,720 --> 00:17:22,280
Speaker 1: space on airlines. I mean, is this something where people

307
00:17:22,320 --> 00:17:23,600
Speaker 1: are like, well, you know what, I got to get

308
00:17:23,600 --> 00:17:26,960
Speaker 1: to the polls now. Joe Biden wasn't addressing the issues

309
00:17:27,000 --> 00:17:29,919
Speaker 1: that I cared about, this forty year high inflation, this crime,

310
00:17:30,000 --> 00:17:32,480
Speaker 1: this border. But then he talked about the fact that

311
00:17:32,680 --> 00:17:35,159
Speaker 1: people of color don't get enough room on airplanes, and

312
00:17:35,200 --> 00:17:38,840
Speaker 1: I am headed straight to the polls right now, my friends.

313
00:17:39,560 --> 00:17:41,280
Speaker 1: These are the people who are in charge right now

314
00:17:41,320 --> 00:17:45,600
Speaker 1: this administration. It's pretty remarkable. So a two thousand, nine

315
00:17:45,680 --> 00:17:48,200
Speaker 1: hundred and seventy seven people lost their lives on nine

316
00:17:48,200 --> 00:17:51,000
Speaker 1: to eleven. Today people are still suffering and losing their

317
00:17:51,040 --> 00:17:53,560
Speaker 1: lives to nine to eleven related illnesses. But a whole

318
00:17:53,640 --> 00:17:57,639
Speaker 1: generation of kids knows little to nothing about nine to eleven.

319
00:17:58,080 --> 00:18:01,399
Speaker 1: Only Tennessee and Arizona Mandate k through twelve learning about

320
00:18:01,400 --> 00:18:04,240
Speaker 1: this day in our nation's history. That's why the Tunnta

321
00:18:04,320 --> 00:18:08,000
Speaker 1: towers nine to eleven Institute is essential. It gives educators

322
00:18:08,000 --> 00:18:12,720
Speaker 1: access to nonfiction nine eleven resources where grades K through twelve,

323
00:18:12,720 --> 00:18:16,399
Speaker 1: which includes scripted social studies lessons along with activities. Plus,

324
00:18:16,400 --> 00:18:20,000
Speaker 1: the institute provides the nonfiction Discovering Hero series of books

325
00:18:20,000 --> 00:18:22,639
Speaker 1: to accompany the curriculum, and there's a speakers bureau with

326
00:18:22,720 --> 00:18:25,840
Speaker 1: access to nine to eleven first responders, survivors and loved ones.

327
00:18:26,400 --> 00:18:28,960
Speaker 1: There's also a mobile exhibit, a high tech eighty three

328
00:18:29,000 --> 00:18:32,280
Speaker 1: foot tractor trailer that transforms into an eleven hundred square

329
00:18:32,280 --> 00:18:36,240
Speaker 1: foot interactive museum with nine to eleven artifacts. To never forget,

330
00:18:36,480 --> 00:18:41,040
Speaker 1: we must educate future generations. Donate today Tunnel to Towers

333
00:18:50,520 --> 00:18:54,639
Speaker 1: rolling through the Wednesday edition of the program. We are

334
00:18:54,720 --> 00:18:58,320
Speaker 1: joined now by heidigen All. She is the candidate for

335
00:18:58,400 --> 00:19:02,840
Speaker 1: governor for Republicans in the great state of Colorado. We

336
00:19:02,840 --> 00:19:05,119
Speaker 1: appreciate all of you listening, including Denver, where we are

337
00:19:05,119 --> 00:19:07,320
Speaker 1: currently number one in the market. And I want to

338
00:19:07,359 --> 00:19:11,480
Speaker 1: introduce Heidi by playing this cut because of all the

339
00:19:11,560 --> 00:19:15,080
Speaker 1: things you could call Heidi, I bet a mad mom.

340
00:19:15,320 --> 00:19:18,080
Speaker 1: Would maybe be the best thing, yet it was deployed

341
00:19:18,119 --> 00:19:21,320
Speaker 1: as an insult. Listen, my opponent identified herself as a

342
00:19:21,359 --> 00:19:23,840
Speaker 1: mad mom. I identify myself as a happy dad. I

343
00:19:23,880 --> 00:19:26,879
Speaker 1: am a bad mom. We have skyrocketing crime, out of

344
00:19:26,880 --> 00:19:30,639
Speaker 1: control inflation, a huge fenton All problem that's killing our kids,

345
00:19:30,920 --> 00:19:33,119
Speaker 1: and our kids can't read, write, or do math at

346
00:19:33,160 --> 00:19:36,840
Speaker 1: grade level. I have a right to be angry. Boom

347
00:19:37,520 --> 00:19:40,840
Speaker 1: Heidi that he seems like he walked right into that one.

348
00:19:41,280 --> 00:19:44,000
Speaker 1: There are a lot of mad moms and dads all

349
00:19:44,040 --> 00:19:47,920
Speaker 1: over this country over Democrat failures. What are you hearing

350
00:19:47,960 --> 00:19:52,280
Speaker 1: from people in response to your debate last night? Well, boy,

351
00:19:52,520 --> 00:19:55,679
Speaker 1: people are really fired up. We're getting mad mom texts

352
00:19:55,720 --> 00:19:59,040
Speaker 1: and tweets and posts all over Colorado. So I think

353
00:19:59,080 --> 00:20:02,640
Speaker 1: he created a storm with that comment, and we are mad.

354
00:20:02,680 --> 00:20:05,720
Speaker 1: We're upset about the terrible things he's done to our state.

355
00:20:06,000 --> 00:20:08,800
Speaker 1: Colorado used to be an amazing place to live, and

356
00:20:08,840 --> 00:20:10,840
Speaker 1: now we have one of the highest inflation rates in

357
00:20:10,880 --> 00:20:13,200
Speaker 1: the country, one of the highest crime rates in the country,

358
00:20:13,240 --> 00:20:15,720
Speaker 1: where number one in auto theft, we're one of the

359
00:20:15,760 --> 00:20:19,639
Speaker 1: top states for sentinel. I mean, it's just not okay

360
00:20:19,680 --> 00:20:23,160
Speaker 1: what he's done to Colorado and we are mad. So

361
00:20:23,720 --> 00:20:28,760
Speaker 1: right now you're in a competitive, competitive contest. The top

362
00:20:28,800 --> 00:20:32,480
Speaker 1: issues I assume mirror what we see in the rest

363
00:20:32,480 --> 00:20:36,520
Speaker 1: of the country, Heidi, with the economy, the border, crime,

364
00:20:36,720 --> 00:20:40,360
Speaker 1: some variation of those three, and inflation obviously the primary

365
00:20:40,440 --> 00:20:45,000
Speaker 1: issue within the economic sector. So what are some of

366
00:20:45,040 --> 00:20:50,000
Speaker 1: the variants or some of the specificity that in Colorado

367
00:20:50,080 --> 00:20:52,560
Speaker 1: you're hearing from the voters, you know, or is it

368
00:20:52,640 --> 00:20:55,520
Speaker 1: is there more of a focus even on schools or

369
00:20:55,800 --> 00:20:58,040
Speaker 1: on some other issue that might make it into that

370
00:20:58,119 --> 00:21:01,960
Speaker 1: top three. Well, I do think it's about our kids,

371
00:21:02,040 --> 00:21:04,320
Speaker 1: and I say Colorado is now one of the most

372
00:21:04,400 --> 00:21:07,080
Speaker 1: dangerous places to be a kid. We have one of

373
00:21:07,080 --> 00:21:10,840
Speaker 1: the highest suicide rates for children in the country, one

374
00:21:10,880 --> 00:21:13,760
Speaker 1: of the highest drug addiction rates for kids in the country,

375
00:21:14,240 --> 00:21:19,240
Speaker 1: and homelessness is rampant. Teen homelessness is skyrocketing here, and

376
00:21:19,320 --> 00:21:22,159
Speaker 1: our kids are not doing well in school. Sixty percent

377
00:21:22,200 --> 00:21:25,240
Speaker 1: of kids in Colorado cannot read, write, or do math

378
00:21:25,320 --> 00:21:29,440
Speaker 1: at grade level. So all those things are firing up

379
00:21:29,480 --> 00:21:33,240
Speaker 1: parents all over Colorado, and we are ready for change.

380
00:21:33,280 --> 00:21:36,560
Speaker 1: We flipped ten school boards last year, so that's evidence

381
00:21:36,640 --> 00:21:40,680
Speaker 1: that there's something brewing here. Heidi. I think you're exactly right.

382
00:21:40,760 --> 00:21:43,560
Speaker 1: The Mad mom Brigade. We started talking about this on

383
00:21:43,600 --> 00:21:46,199
Speaker 1: the show last year when I was a part of

384
00:21:46,240 --> 00:21:48,760
Speaker 1: that Mad Mom Bug Brigade. There were some dads there

385
00:21:48,800 --> 00:21:51,320
Speaker 1: who were so fired up about kids having to wear masks,

386
00:21:51,359 --> 00:21:54,840
Speaker 1: about restrictions that were still existing because of COVID. I

387
00:21:55,040 --> 00:21:57,160
Speaker 1: know that there have to be so many fed up

388
00:21:57,200 --> 00:22:01,199
Speaker 1: people all over Colorado. Does anybody take responsibility for this?

389
00:22:01,359 --> 00:22:03,840
Speaker 1: Or they pulling a fauci and saying, well, we didn't

390
00:22:03,840 --> 00:22:06,720
Speaker 1: never really want to shut down schools. Oh well, we

391
00:22:06,760 --> 00:22:09,199
Speaker 1: don't even really know who to blame, or that wasn't me,

392
00:22:09,320 --> 00:22:11,919
Speaker 1: Because it seems like there's an awful lot of dodging

393
00:22:11,960 --> 00:22:15,760
Speaker 1: of responsibility going on. Boy, and it starts right at

394
00:22:15,800 --> 00:22:18,120
Speaker 1: the top with Jared Polis. He acts like he's very

395
00:22:18,200 --> 00:22:22,320
Speaker 1: moderate libertarian. There is nothing moderate about Jared Polis. He

396
00:22:22,359 --> 00:22:25,679
Speaker 1: has destroyed our energy industry here, he passed one of

397
00:22:25,720 --> 00:22:27,920
Speaker 1: the signed one of the most extreme abortion laws in

398
00:22:27,960 --> 00:22:30,840
Speaker 1: the country here, and he's doing nothing to address the

399
00:22:30,880 --> 00:22:34,320
Speaker 1: skyrocketing crime and drug problem. He actually signed the bill

400
00:22:34,440 --> 00:22:37,760
Speaker 1: to criminalizing fentanyl, and he signed some really bad crime

401
00:22:38,119 --> 00:22:41,920
Speaker 1: deals that made it very easy to stay out of jail. Here,

402
00:22:41,920 --> 00:22:44,640
Speaker 1: we have the fourth highest rate of recidivism in the country,

403
00:22:44,880 --> 00:22:47,520
Speaker 1: so that means repeat offenders are doing most of the crime.

404
00:22:47,760 --> 00:22:49,480
Speaker 1: So it's a hot mess, and he doesn't want to

405
00:22:49,480 --> 00:22:53,240
Speaker 1: take any responsibility. In fact, I asked him to apologize

406
00:22:53,400 --> 00:22:55,200
Speaker 1: to some of the parents that were in the audience

407
00:22:55,280 --> 00:22:59,239
Speaker 1: that lost their children to fentanyl, and he refused. He

408
00:22:59,280 --> 00:23:02,399
Speaker 1: didn't even really acknowledge them. And it's just heartbreaking to

409
00:23:02,440 --> 00:23:06,080
Speaker 1: see that. Where is your opponent on the border and

410
00:23:06,119 --> 00:23:11,719
Speaker 1: immigration issues, Heidi, Well, he actually made Colorado a sanctuary

411
00:23:11,840 --> 00:23:14,280
Speaker 1: state after saying he would not do that in his

412
00:23:14,359 --> 00:23:18,000
Speaker 1: debate with his prior opponent, and it's just making it

413
00:23:18,040 --> 00:23:20,920
Speaker 1: impossible for ICE agents and law enforcement to stop the

414
00:23:20,960 --> 00:23:24,240
Speaker 1: flow of fentanyl and other drugs into Colorado because I

415
00:23:24,400 --> 00:23:28,440
Speaker 1: twenty five goes right from New Mexico up into Colorado,

416
00:23:28,480 --> 00:23:31,880
Speaker 1: and we've got ICE seventy as well. So it's very

417
00:23:31,920 --> 00:23:34,600
Speaker 1: important that as the men and I become governor, that

418
00:23:34,720 --> 00:23:37,680
Speaker 1: I cancel that sanctuary status and do all we can

419
00:23:37,760 --> 00:23:40,119
Speaker 1: to give law enforcement and ICE agents to tools to

420
00:23:40,160 --> 00:23:42,679
Speaker 1: stop Colorado from being one of the top drug STAPs

421
00:23:42,920 --> 00:23:45,560
Speaker 1: in the country. It seems like, Heidi, You've got a

422
00:23:45,560 --> 00:23:48,720
Speaker 1: lot of reason to be a mad mom associated with crime.

423
00:23:48,920 --> 00:23:52,639
Speaker 1: And we have heard about carjackings and car theft and

424
00:23:53,200 --> 00:23:56,879
Speaker 1: just all sorts of massive increases of crime that have

425
00:23:56,960 --> 00:24:00,479
Speaker 1: occurred all over the state of Colorado. What are you

426
00:24:00,520 --> 00:24:04,119
Speaker 1: seeing on the ground there And is there any Democrat

427
00:24:04,200 --> 00:24:07,920
Speaker 1: response to try to make it better. No, in fact,

428
00:24:07,920 --> 00:24:11,320
Speaker 1: they're doubling down on their ideas and their approach to

429
00:24:11,680 --> 00:24:14,960
Speaker 1: addressing crime. And it's laughable that Jared says in the

430
00:24:15,040 --> 00:24:17,680
Speaker 1: debate we're going to make Colorado one of the top

431
00:24:17,720 --> 00:24:20,639
Speaker 1: ten safest states in the country. Well, he's made it

432
00:24:20,720 --> 00:24:22,879
Speaker 1: one of the I think it's fourth worst in the

433
00:24:22,960 --> 00:24:26,520
Speaker 1: country now for crime that's under his watch. So my

434
00:24:26,600 --> 00:24:29,080
Speaker 1: dad was a reserve police officer. I will be a

435
00:24:29,119 --> 00:24:32,520
Speaker 1: law and order governor. I'm going to fire leadership in

436
00:24:32,640 --> 00:24:35,160
Speaker 1: all the different departments dealing with law enforcement right now

437
00:24:35,160 --> 00:24:38,879
Speaker 1: and make public safety our number one priority here because, honestly,

438
00:24:38,880 --> 00:24:42,639
Speaker 1: if we're not safe, if our kids aren't safe, nothing's okay.

439
00:24:42,720 --> 00:24:45,520
Speaker 1: Nothing else matters. Inflation is a huge issue, but we've

440
00:24:45,520 --> 00:24:47,679
Speaker 1: got to make sure we're safe in our neighborhoods, in

441
00:24:47,680 --> 00:24:51,719
Speaker 1: our schools, and that kids have an opportunity to flourish

442
00:24:51,760 --> 00:24:54,440
Speaker 1: and live here. Stay here, not have to move away

443
00:24:54,480 --> 00:24:57,960
Speaker 1: to another state where they can live. Well, Heidie, I

444
00:24:57,960 --> 00:24:59,800
Speaker 1: think it's interesting. Buck and I have talked about this

445
00:24:59,840 --> 00:25:02,400
Speaker 1: on the show, and we have discussed with many different

446
00:25:02,960 --> 00:25:05,439
Speaker 1: moms who are running for statewide office. And I'm just

447
00:25:05,440 --> 00:25:08,080
Speaker 1: going to toss out a couple Tiffany Smiley for Senate

448
00:25:08,119 --> 00:25:13,280
Speaker 1: in Washington, Christine Draisen for the governor of Oregon, Tutor

449
00:25:13,320 --> 00:25:16,920
Speaker 1: Dixon for the governor of Michigan. I'm sure there are

450
00:25:16,960 --> 00:25:19,840
Speaker 1: many more that I am not mentioning. You certainly would

451
00:25:19,840 --> 00:25:23,000
Speaker 1: fit that mom brigade as well. Why do you think

452
00:25:23,040 --> 00:25:26,680
Speaker 1: so many Republican moms have risen up and ended up

453
00:25:26,720 --> 00:25:31,320
Speaker 1: their party's nominees all over the country. Well, I think

454
00:25:31,320 --> 00:25:34,960
Speaker 1: it's about change. We just can't stand to watch our country,

455
00:25:35,040 --> 00:25:38,959
Speaker 1: our state transform into something that's so dangerous for our

456
00:25:39,000 --> 00:25:43,159
Speaker 1: children and so just disheartening. I mean, I've been blessed

457
00:25:43,200 --> 00:25:45,720
Speaker 1: to live the American dream. I'm a kid from Monument,

458
00:25:45,800 --> 00:25:49,320
Speaker 1: Colorado that got to build an amazing business around something

459
00:25:49,320 --> 00:25:52,000
Speaker 1: I'm super passionate about. Dogs that created Can't Bow Wow,

460
00:25:52,080 --> 00:25:55,240
Speaker 1: the country's largest Peco franchise, and I want my kids

461
00:25:55,240 --> 00:25:57,639
Speaker 1: to have that same opportunity and I didn't want to

462
00:25:57,680 --> 00:25:59,399
Speaker 1: wake up in five or ten years and think I

463
00:25:59,400 --> 00:26:02,200
Speaker 1: could have done something. It didn't and all the attacks,

464
00:26:02,280 --> 00:26:05,080
Speaker 1: like the craziness they're saying, it's like, bring it on.

465
00:26:05,240 --> 00:26:07,240
Speaker 1: This is for my kids. I will always take the

466
00:26:07,280 --> 00:26:09,240
Speaker 1: heat for them and do what I need to do

467
00:26:09,320 --> 00:26:11,040
Speaker 1: to protect them and to make sure they have a

468
00:26:11,080 --> 00:26:13,719
Speaker 1: bright future. And honestly, I want to do that for

469
00:26:13,760 --> 00:26:17,119
Speaker 1: all the kids in Colorado. Hidi gan all she's running

470

00:26:27,720 --> 00:26:30,480
Speaker 1: we can get. Jared Paullus has spent about twenty five

474
00:26:30,560 --> 00:26:32,680
Speaker 1: million dollars in the last two months him and his

475
00:26:32,800 --> 00:26:35,600
Speaker 1: groups against us, and we're doing all we can to

476
00:26:35,680 --> 00:26:38,119
Speaker 1: keep up with that. But we've got the heart of

477
00:26:38,160 --> 00:26:40,680
Speaker 1: the people of Colorado. You can feel it around the state.

478
00:26:40,720 --> 00:26:44,639
Speaker 1: We need everybody volunteering, donating anything you can do. Follow

479

480
00:26:46,480 --> 00:26:48,720

481
00:26:48,760 --> 00:26:52,040
Speaker 1: as well. Awesome stuff. Heidi. We're wishing you well. We

482
00:26:52,080 --> 00:26:54,280
Speaker 1: want people in Colorado to make sure if they're listening

483
00:26:54,280 --> 00:26:56,320
Speaker 1: to us all over the state. Got a lot of

484
00:26:56,359 --> 00:26:58,440
Speaker 1: big affiliates, they can make it happen for you. Thanks

485
00:26:58,440 --> 00:27:01,880
Speaker 1: for the time, well, thank you, And for those mad

486
00:27:01,920 --> 00:27:04,720
Speaker 1: moms and mad dads out there, use the hashtag mad mom,

487
00:27:04,720 --> 00:27:07,160
Speaker 1: mad dad and post some stuff by telling us why

488
00:27:07,160 --> 00:27:11,160
Speaker 1: you're upset and how we're gonna get our country back. Amen. Amen,

489
00:27:11,240 --> 00:27:14,320
Speaker 1: Look bucks, we got a break here. I think that's

490
00:27:14,320 --> 00:27:16,040
Speaker 1: a big whiff because I think there are a lot

491
00:27:16,040 --> 00:27:19,080
Speaker 1: of moms and dad's out there listening, but particularly moms

492
00:27:19,160 --> 00:27:22,600
Speaker 1: that are really mad. And he walked right into that one,

493
00:27:22,600 --> 00:27:26,320
Speaker 1: and her answer was pretty phenomenal in response on the spot,

494
00:27:26,400 --> 00:27:28,199
Speaker 1: and I think that's going to have some legs. I

495
00:27:28,280 --> 00:27:31,679
Speaker 1: really do. There's a reason, by the way, that so

496
00:27:31,760 --> 00:27:35,320
Speaker 1: many political debates out there right now are so important

497
00:27:35,359 --> 00:27:37,960
Speaker 1: because they tell us a lot the character, the ability

498
00:27:38,000 --> 00:27:41,560
Speaker 1: to directly answer a question, also the transparency when the

499
00:27:41,600 --> 00:27:45,080
Speaker 1: candidates are standing on the stage. And if you're in

500
00:27:45,119 --> 00:27:49,080
Speaker 1: a position to lead to others, you want to have strength, confidence,

501
00:27:49,400 --> 00:27:53,879
Speaker 1: how about testosterone, which is sorely lacking at sixteen hundred

502
00:27:53,880 --> 00:27:57,040
Speaker 1: Pennsylvania Avenue. In fact, if you are out there right

503
00:27:57,080 --> 00:28:00,560
Speaker 1: now and you are working in the Biden White House

504
00:28:00,560 --> 00:28:02,520
Speaker 1: and you're listening to this show because you're aware that

505
00:28:02,520 --> 00:28:04,880
Speaker 1: a red wave is coming, and you're thinking to yourself, Man,

506
00:28:04,920 --> 00:28:07,639
Speaker 1: what could I do to help this Biden Whitehouse? I

507
00:28:07,680 --> 00:28:10,800
Speaker 1: would say, maybe just add some testosterone. Maybe go right

508
00:28:10,840 --> 00:28:14,840
Speaker 1: now to chalk dot com. That's choq dot com. Just

509

Speaker 1: you up better energy, better vitality, actual testosterone. You know

511
00:28:22,840 --> 00:28:25,960
Speaker 1: there's a fifty percent decline in testosterone in this country,

512
00:28:26,160 --> 00:28:27,600
Speaker 1: and much of it can be traced right to the

513
00:28:27,600 --> 00:28:32,160
Speaker 1: Biden Whitehouse. Why not go get yourself back in working order.

514

Speaker 1: Next hour got Senator check Cruise of Texas with us

521
00:29:01,960 --> 00:29:05,800
Speaker 1: talking about what it was like to walk into the

522
00:29:05,840 --> 00:29:11,200
Speaker 1: Lionesses den on the view and he certainly had to

523
00:29:11,320 --> 00:29:15,480
Speaker 1: deal with some rough treatment from the audience there. But

524
00:29:15,800 --> 00:29:18,959
Speaker 1: Ted Cruz always always illuminating on the issues of the day.

525
00:29:19,000 --> 00:29:20,840
Speaker 1: He'll be with us in the next hour talking about

526
00:29:20,880 --> 00:29:22,080
Speaker 1: how he thinks it's going to shake out in the

527
00:29:22,120 --> 00:29:25,800
Speaker 1: Senate and elsewhere in this midterm election, and we'll have

528
00:29:25,880 --> 00:29:30,000
Speaker 1: more on just some recent commentary from the view in

529
00:29:30,080 --> 00:29:32,560
Speaker 1: general on the debates last night. But it is time

530
00:29:32,800 --> 00:29:34,840
Speaker 1: we're taking a moment here to just remind you all

531
00:29:34,880 --> 00:29:37,080
Speaker 1: that the world's a crazy place, and crazy things happen,

532
00:29:37,640 --> 00:29:49,960
Speaker 1: and sometimes it involves animals. That's right, Animal Thunderdome, ladies

533
00:29:50,000 --> 00:29:53,440
Speaker 1: and gentlemen. I'm just glad I was scaring boys and girls.

534
00:29:53,880 --> 00:29:56,160
Speaker 1: I thought he had thought I was like this gynormous

535
00:29:56,200 --> 00:30:08,640
Speaker 1: piece of chicken. Dim times. This is animal thunder Doili Clay,

536
00:30:08,680 --> 00:30:15,720
Speaker 1: a Florida team has won in annual competition down here.

537
00:30:15,840 --> 00:30:18,280
Speaker 1: I'm I'm in Miami right now. I'm at w io

538
00:30:18,400 --> 00:30:20,440
Speaker 1: D I'm down in Florida. Was at the debate earlier

539
00:30:20,480 --> 00:30:24,400
Speaker 1: this week, and this Florida teen nineteen year old won

540
00:30:24,560 --> 00:30:30,600
Speaker 1: the annual python hunting competition here in the in the

541
00:30:30,680 --> 00:30:34,560
Speaker 1: swamp down in Florida, the actual swamp, not the political

542
00:30:34,600 --> 00:30:38,080
Speaker 1: swamp down in Florida. Uh, he got twenty eight Burmese

543
00:30:38,160 --> 00:30:42,160
Speaker 1: pythons in a twenty eight competition, twenty eight of them

544
00:30:42,400 --> 00:30:45,640
Speaker 1: a total of let me see here, Well, there are

545
00:30:45,680 --> 00:30:48,080
Speaker 1: a couple of hundred that I think we're taken by

546
00:30:48,200 --> 00:30:51,160
Speaker 1: all of these. Yes, two hundred and thirty one of

547
00:30:51,200 --> 00:30:55,000
Speaker 1: the pythons, and he won a ten thousand dollar prize.

548
00:30:55,600 --> 00:30:58,920
Speaker 1: How much would one have to pay you, Clay, to

549
00:30:59,080 --> 00:31:02,400
Speaker 1: send you out into the jungles of Florida or the Swampa,

550
00:31:02,440 --> 00:31:08,160
Speaker 1: Florida and bare handed tangle with some pythons. I don't

551
00:31:08,200 --> 00:31:11,440
Speaker 1: know that there is a dollar figure that I First

552
00:31:11,440 --> 00:31:12,840
Speaker 1: of all, he was how long was he out there?

553
00:31:12,840 --> 00:31:16,600
Speaker 1: Ten days? Ten days? I don't know that. I mean,

554
00:31:16,640 --> 00:31:19,160
Speaker 1: it would have to be an exorbitant figure. First of all,

555
00:31:19,200 --> 00:31:22,200
Speaker 1: I would be too scared to try to catch any

556
00:31:22,680 --> 00:31:25,600
Speaker 1: any of these pythons, right. And I don't know that

557
00:31:25,640 --> 00:31:30,480
Speaker 1: people realize this, but the Florida Everglades are now filled

558
00:31:30,520 --> 00:31:33,920
Speaker 1: with giant pythons. They are everywhere. That's why they have

559
00:31:34,040 --> 00:31:38,680
Speaker 1: basically this python catch contest, because they're trying to get

560
00:31:38,680 --> 00:31:43,080
Speaker 1: the pythons at least their population controlled in some way.

561
00:31:43,160 --> 00:31:47,080
Speaker 1: They're from Burma, which is a long way away from Florida,

562
00:31:47,200 --> 00:31:52,480
Speaker 1: but they have just like the hippopotami of Pablo Escobar

563
00:31:52,640 --> 00:31:56,000
Speaker 1: back in the day, they have settled right in the Everglades.

564
00:31:56,160 --> 00:31:59,360
Speaker 1: Is a perfect natural environment for them, and they're an

565
00:31:59,400 --> 00:32:04,719
Speaker 1: invasive's because they kill alligators, mammals, other animals that are

566
00:32:04,920 --> 00:32:09,560
Speaker 1: are protected or more desirable. He got only ten thousand

567
00:32:09,640 --> 00:32:11,640
Speaker 1: dollars for this buck. I can't how much would you

568
00:32:11,680 --> 00:32:14,400
Speaker 1: have to be paid if you were told you have

569
00:32:14,480 --> 00:32:18,360
Speaker 1: to go into the Everglades and you can't come out

570
00:32:18,520 --> 00:32:22,720
Speaker 1: until you've caught twenty pythons. I mean, I think, first

571
00:32:22,760 --> 00:32:25,320
Speaker 1: of all, I'm assuming they're allowed to use like a shotgun.

572
00:32:25,360 --> 00:32:26,800
Speaker 1: I guess that's what you would go. I don't know

573
00:32:26,840 --> 00:32:29,440
Speaker 1: what you hunt snakes with. I would guess a shotgun probably.

574
00:32:29,840 --> 00:32:31,120
Speaker 1: I mean, if you had to go in their old

575
00:32:31,160 --> 00:32:33,800
Speaker 1: school with a machete. We're talking a lot of money.

576
00:32:33,920 --> 00:32:36,440
Speaker 1: We're talking like I could retire from my radio career

577
00:32:36,520 --> 00:32:38,120
Speaker 1: kind of money. Like it's gonna have to be even

578
00:32:38,240 --> 00:32:40,840
Speaker 1: one dollar sleep in the Everglades for ten days, much

579
00:32:40,920 --> 00:32:44,440
Speaker 1: less have to go actually hunt snakes there. Yeah. I mean,

580
00:32:44,440 --> 00:32:46,400
Speaker 1: I still remember when I was a kid in Indiana,

581
00:32:46,480 --> 00:32:49,040
Speaker 1: Jones in Raiders of the lost ar gets in the

582
00:32:49,040 --> 00:32:50,880
Speaker 1: plane and there's a snake in his lap. And that's

583
00:32:50,880 --> 00:32:53,240
Speaker 1: one of the things you learn about doctor Jones is

584
00:32:53,280 --> 00:32:57,160
Speaker 1: he has a tremendous fear of this particular reptile. People

585
00:32:57,200 --> 00:32:59,800
Speaker 1: all across all across America that saw that, they're like, yep,

586
00:33:00,000 --> 00:33:02,440
Speaker 1: snakes are scary, don't don't want to be near snakes.

587
00:33:03,160 --> 00:33:07,760
Speaker 1: Also buck the Everglades are filled with we know, alligators, right,

588
00:33:07,960 --> 00:33:13,000
Speaker 1: also some crocodiles, and tons of poisonous snakes. Right. So,

589
00:33:13,080 --> 00:33:17,680
Speaker 1: like the Boa constrictor is scary, python whatever in and

590
00:33:17,720 --> 00:33:20,680
Speaker 1: of itself, But it's not as if that's the most

591
00:33:20,760 --> 00:33:25,000
Speaker 1: dangerous animal there. There are bears, there are Florida panthers.

592
00:33:25,360 --> 00:33:27,240
Speaker 1: There are lots of things that could kill you in

593
00:33:27,280 --> 00:33:30,000
Speaker 1: the Everglades if you were there for ten days plus.

594
00:33:30,240 --> 00:33:34,200
Speaker 1: There's lots of really annoying things, Like there's tons of mosquitoes,

595
00:33:34,200 --> 00:33:36,920
Speaker 1: Like you would get eaten up alive by mosquitoes. I

596
00:33:36,920 --> 00:33:39,280
Speaker 1: would not do it. We didn't. We didn't coordinate this before.

597
00:33:39,280 --> 00:33:40,959
Speaker 1: And I just want you to know that I learned,

598
00:33:41,440 --> 00:33:44,520
Speaker 1: like classic Northeastern city kid, I learned the hard way

599
00:33:45,040 --> 00:33:47,040
Speaker 1: when we were at the Decantists debate a couple of

600
00:33:47,080 --> 00:33:48,960
Speaker 1: day what was it a couple of days ago now?

601
00:33:49,040 --> 00:33:52,520
Speaker 1: Or yeah, two days ago? About these little things called

602
00:33:52,720 --> 00:33:57,080
Speaker 1: sand flies or no sums. Oh, I got wrecked, clay wrecked.

603
00:33:57,480 --> 00:33:59,800
Speaker 1: I look like I have poison ivy from the knee

604
00:33:59,800 --> 00:34:02,920
Speaker 1: down down. I was only out on the balcony for

605
00:34:02,960 --> 00:34:06,120
Speaker 1: like ten minutes. Wasn't even on the beach wrecked by

606
00:34:06,200 --> 00:34:09,040
Speaker 1: They are worse than Mosquitos public safety announts. But to

607
00:34:09,080 --> 00:34:12,440
Speaker 1: anybody who's on the east coast of Florida, those no sums,

608
00:34:12,640 --> 00:34:15,640
Speaker 1: you don't even feel it. They have saw like teeth

609
00:34:15,680 --> 00:34:18,279
Speaker 1: and they're just ripping into your skin and they cause

610
00:34:18,320 --> 00:34:21,920
Speaker 1: all kinds of inflammation. They're horrible. We should really have

611
00:34:21,960 --> 00:34:25,600
Speaker 1: a campaign to eradicate them. You don't know about those

612
00:34:25,719 --> 00:34:28,680
Speaker 1: if you haven't been to Florida before, and right around

613
00:34:28,960 --> 00:34:32,880
Speaker 1: dusk you can get out and you can get absolutely

614
00:34:33,160 --> 00:34:36,359
Speaker 1: destroyed by those things. So yeah, like, I don't know

615
00:34:36,400 --> 00:34:40,280
Speaker 1: how much they would have to pay me, well into

616
00:34:40,280 --> 00:34:42,200
Speaker 1: the six figures for me to be willing to camp

617
00:34:42,280 --> 00:34:45,239
Speaker 1: out in ten days in the Everglades and hunt and

618
00:34:45,320 --> 00:34:48,319
Speaker 1: hunt pythons. Just Serrevon knows this the biggest one they've

619
00:34:48,360 --> 00:34:53,399
Speaker 1: ever pulled out of Florida was a female python that

620
00:34:53,480 --> 00:34:58,000
Speaker 1: was eighteen feet law, yeah, I mean eighteen foot. I mean,

621
00:34:58,040 --> 00:35:00,920
Speaker 1: I know that's not as big as the anaconda in

622
00:35:00,960 --> 00:35:03,799
Speaker 1: the movie Anaconda, but in my mind it's about that

623
00:35:03,920 --> 00:35:06,840
Speaker 1: big and it would go about that fast. And remember

624
00:35:06,880 --> 00:35:08,880
Speaker 1: the guy that we had to call in buck who said,

625
00:35:09,360 --> 00:35:11,080
Speaker 1: who was that guy who called in and said that

626
00:35:11,080 --> 00:35:13,520
Speaker 1: he had been attacked by a python? And whenever they

627
00:35:13,560 --> 00:35:15,800
Speaker 1: got a hold of him, he would just walk into

628
00:35:15,840 --> 00:35:18,440
Speaker 1: the lake and go under water, and then the python

629
00:35:18,480 --> 00:35:20,520
Speaker 1: would let go because otherwise it was going to drown.

630
00:35:21,000 --> 00:35:23,560
Speaker 1: Do you remember that call? Yes, it's very smart. It's

631
00:35:23,600 --> 00:35:26,359
Speaker 1: like stop, drop and roll, but roll into water when

632
00:35:26,400 --> 00:35:29,080
Speaker 1: you're being attacked by a pithe So everybody out there,

633
00:35:29,200 --> 00:35:32,280
Speaker 1: if you ever get attacked by a python, the best

634
00:35:32,360 --> 00:35:36,480
Speaker 1: way to save yourself of other than not getting attacked

635
00:35:36,480 --> 00:35:38,840
Speaker 1: by a python in the first play place, is to

636
00:35:38,960 --> 00:35:41,960
Speaker 1: theoretically go into the water and then the python will

637
00:35:42,040 --> 00:35:43,839
Speaker 1: let go of you. Yeah. I don't know, but that's

638
00:35:43,880 --> 00:35:45,920
Speaker 1: what he's pulling into the water is like taking it

639
00:35:45,960 --> 00:35:48,040
Speaker 1: into its environment, even though I guess they're not really

640
00:35:48,080 --> 00:35:51,640
Speaker 1: aquatic like an anaconda is, but reptiles, man, I don't know.

641
00:35:51,719 --> 00:35:53,279
Speaker 1: It makes me like I got a lot of people

642
00:35:53,280 --> 00:35:56,480
Speaker 1: with chillbumps all over themselves. Even I even feel like alligators.

643
00:35:56,520 --> 00:35:58,320
Speaker 1: Maybe you can make friends with an alligator, you know

644
00:35:58,360 --> 00:36:00,200
Speaker 1: what I mean. You feed him some chicken or something,

645
00:36:00,239 --> 00:36:03,719
Speaker 1: you become buddies. You're never friends with a python. Come on,

646
00:36:03,800 --> 00:36:06,719
Speaker 1: you're lunch to a python. I'm just saying. I would

647
00:36:06,120 --> 00:36:09,320
Speaker 1: say I'm a snakest. You know some people out there

648
00:36:09,320 --> 00:36:11,840
Speaker 1: like I'm very anti snake. I would not be bothered

649
00:36:11,880 --> 00:36:14,920
Speaker 1: if we eradicated snakes from the world, and there's probably

650
00:36:14,920 --> 00:36:16,480
Speaker 1: snake people out there, or tell me why that's to

651
00:36:16,600 --> 00:36:18,960
Speaker 1: be such an awful thing to have happened. But I

652
00:36:18,960 --> 00:36:22,040
Speaker 1: would be fine with zero snakes anywhere Ireland. They seem

653
00:36:22,080 --> 00:36:25,040
Speaker 1: happy in Ireland, no snakes. The good news is, I

654
00:36:25,040 --> 00:36:27,279
Speaker 1: think the only natural predator that they can think of

655
00:36:27,360 --> 00:36:30,960
Speaker 1: to really get these things is jaguars, and releasing a

656
00:36:30,960 --> 00:36:33,200
Speaker 1: whole lot of jaguars in Florida may come with some

657
00:36:33,239 --> 00:36:35,480
Speaker 1: other consequences, So it's gonna be up to folks like

658
00:36:35,480 --> 00:36:38,560
Speaker 1: our intrepid python hunter. Congrats on his ten grands
