00:00:07,280 --> 00:00:12,119
Speaker 1: we prepare for Donald Trump's official speech tonight. Hulk Cogan

4
00:00:12,640 --> 00:00:14,680
Speaker 1: is going to be there. I imagine there will be

5
00:00:14,720 --> 00:00:17,160
Speaker 1: some other festivities. Dana White. For those of you out

6

Speaker 1: there that are combat sports fans, we bring in now

7
00:00:20,320 --> 00:00:23,040
Speaker 1: our NC Chairman Michael Wattley and just off the top

8
00:00:23,079 --> 00:00:26,080
Speaker 1: four even start with the questions. You guys have organized

9
00:00:26,239 --> 00:00:29,960
Speaker 1: this in a flawless manner. I mean, everything has gone,

10
00:00:30,360 --> 00:00:33,800
Speaker 1: it seems to me to plan the city of Milwaukee.

11
00:00:33,800 --> 00:00:36,640
Speaker 1: Everybody has been fantastic setting it up. So great job

12
00:00:36,680 --> 00:00:39,400
Speaker 1: by you guys, which I know is no small measure

13
00:00:39,440 --> 00:00:41,000
Speaker 1: to get this thing organized.

14
00:00:40,600 --> 00:00:43,199
Speaker 2: No huge project, huge team. You know, we've been on

15
00:00:43,240 --> 00:00:45,479
Speaker 2: the ground for eighteen months, We've been fully built out

16
00:00:45,760 --> 00:00:49,159
Speaker 2: from our perspective for over a year. Milwaukee has been

17
00:00:49,200 --> 00:00:53,479
Speaker 2: great and the arena is fantastic. The mechanics of this

18
00:00:53,560 --> 00:00:59,320
Speaker 2: convention have been awesome. But you cannot undervalue how great

19
00:00:59,400 --> 00:01:01,920
Speaker 2: these speakers have been. You know how great the messaging

20
00:01:01,960 --> 00:01:04,560
Speaker 2: has been. And what we're trying to do to convey

21
00:01:04,640 --> 00:01:08,160
Speaker 2: to everybody across the country is we are talking to

22
00:01:08,400 --> 00:01:12,679
Speaker 2: every American family, and we're hearing from real American voices.

23
00:01:12,959 --> 00:01:19,160
Speaker 1: Okay, so Saturday, almost the worst day in fifty years

24
00:01:19,160 --> 00:01:23,280
Speaker 1: in America, Trump by an inch avoids assassination. I'm sure

25
00:01:23,319 --> 00:01:25,679
Speaker 1: you were watching like we were, like everybody all over

26
00:01:25,720 --> 00:01:27,520
Speaker 1: the nation listening to us right now.

27
00:01:27,480 --> 00:01:27,640
Speaker 3: Was.

28
00:01:29,319 --> 00:01:33,039
Speaker 1: Would there have been a Republican national convention at all? If,

29
00:01:33,080 --> 00:01:36,039
Speaker 1: by the grace of God this week, if Trump had

30
00:01:36,040 --> 00:01:38,199
Speaker 1: not happened to turn his head an inch, what would

31
00:01:38,240 --> 00:01:42,319
Speaker 1: have happened if that awful event had actually come to

32
00:01:42,319 --> 00:01:43,720
Speaker 1: the fruition as the shooter hoped.

33
00:01:43,840 --> 00:01:45,520
Speaker 2: I don't think there's any way that we would have

34
00:01:45,560 --> 00:01:47,360
Speaker 2: gone forward. I don't think there's any way that we

35
00:01:47,400 --> 00:01:50,080
Speaker 2: could have gone forward. And when we talk about what

36
00:01:50,200 --> 00:01:52,800
Speaker 2: happened on Saturday, there's really a couple things that come

37
00:01:52,800 --> 00:01:55,800
Speaker 2: to mind. First off, this is a miracle. This is

38
00:01:55,800 --> 00:01:58,200
Speaker 2: an absolute miracle. You know, some people have said, oh,

39
00:01:58,240 --> 00:02:01,120
Speaker 2: it was luck. It's not luck. This is this is

40
00:02:01,160 --> 00:02:04,160
Speaker 2: a miracle that he is still alive. And I think

41
00:02:04,200 --> 00:02:07,960
Speaker 2: that the second thing is you need to stop and

42
00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:11,840
Speaker 2: you need to step back and reflect on this campaign,

43
00:02:12,120 --> 00:02:15,200
Speaker 2: in this election cycle in light of what just happened.

44
00:02:15,919 --> 00:02:18,280
Speaker 2: You know, and it's not just the fact that the

45
00:02:18,320 --> 00:02:21,720
Speaker 2: president was shot. There were three other people that were shot.

46
00:02:21,800 --> 00:02:24,880
Speaker 2: One of them lost their lives. Yes, and because they

47
00:02:24,880 --> 00:02:28,280
Speaker 2: were at a political rally, you know that that really

48
00:02:28,880 --> 00:02:30,960
Speaker 2: I don't think that there's been enough time and effort

49
00:02:31,240 --> 00:02:33,920
Speaker 2: thought about, oh my god, where are we at in

50
00:02:33,960 --> 00:02:35,480
Speaker 2: our politics across America?

51
00:02:36,160 --> 00:02:36,400
Speaker 4: You know?

52
00:02:36,480 --> 00:02:39,680
Speaker 2: And and I think that you know, as President Trump

53
00:02:40,400 --> 00:02:43,040
Speaker 2: was going from the event to the hospital. While he

54
00:02:43,080 --> 00:02:47,040
Speaker 2: was at the hospital, his concern was for the other people.

55
00:02:47,480 --> 00:02:49,680
Speaker 2: His concern was for the other people who got shot.

56
00:02:49,800 --> 00:02:52,160
Speaker 2: His concern was for everybody else who was at the arena.

57
00:02:52,240 --> 00:02:55,640
Speaker 2: He was not concerned for himself. And then when we

58
00:02:55,760 --> 00:03:01,000
Speaker 2: when we talked, it was I'll be there. Sure everybody's ready,

59
00:03:01,080 --> 00:03:03,320
Speaker 2: make sure everything is good to go, but I'm coming.

60
00:03:03,400 --> 00:03:06,440
Speaker 2: And not only am I coming. He wasn't supposed to

61
00:03:06,480 --> 00:03:09,680
Speaker 2: be here till today. Yeah, he said I'll be there tomorrow,

62
00:03:10,400 --> 00:03:12,320
Speaker 2: you know. And I think that that sends a signal.

63
00:03:12,360 --> 00:03:16,040
Speaker 2: You know what when he stood up and the Secret

64
00:03:16,040 --> 00:03:18,079
Speaker 2: Service was trying to duck him down and move him

65
00:03:18,080 --> 00:03:20,679
Speaker 2: out there, and he put his fist up and let

66
00:03:20,720 --> 00:03:25,000
Speaker 2: America know, I'm okay. That's a signal. And when when

67
00:03:25,120 --> 00:03:28,799
Speaker 2: we got word Saturday night he's coming. I think that

68
00:03:28,800 --> 00:03:31,880
Speaker 2: that sends a signal, you know, And when you step

69
00:03:31,919 --> 00:03:35,320
Speaker 2: back and reflect on this election cycle and why he's running,

70
00:03:35,720 --> 00:03:38,560
Speaker 2: it is really truly because he cares about America and

71
00:03:38,600 --> 00:03:40,000
Speaker 2: he's going to fight for America every day.

72
00:03:40,200 --> 00:03:44,480
Speaker 5: Certainly, the mission now for Trump, for the RNC is

73
00:03:44,960 --> 00:03:47,160
Speaker 5: to have the best outcome possible in this election.

74
00:03:47,240 --> 00:03:50,280
Speaker 3: We all know that we This is not a surprise

75
00:03:50,360 --> 00:03:50,520
Speaker 3: to you.

76
00:03:50,600 --> 00:03:53,560
Speaker 5: I'm sure as the head of the RNC, we get

77
00:03:53,800 --> 00:03:57,960
Speaker 5: calls every day and have for years about what is

78
00:03:58,000 --> 00:04:03,040
Speaker 5: being done to make sure that there are no shenanigans.

79
00:04:03,040 --> 00:04:04,920
Speaker 5: I guess would be the polite work we're on radio.

80
00:04:04,960 --> 00:04:08,640
Speaker 5: There's no nonsense, no bs, no, none of that. What

81
00:04:08,800 --> 00:04:11,600
Speaker 5: is being done to make sure that election integrity will

82
00:04:11,640 --> 00:04:16,760
Speaker 5: be something that every honest Republican after this election can

83
00:04:16,800 --> 00:04:19,159
Speaker 5: look at and say, all right, at least we know

84
00:04:19,240 --> 00:04:21,880
Speaker 5: that only valid legal votes were counted, and they were

85
00:04:21,920 --> 00:04:22,680
Speaker 5: counted properly.

86
00:04:22,800 --> 00:04:23,000
Speaker 6: Yeah.

87
00:04:23,040 --> 00:04:25,360
Speaker 2: So, right when I took over as the chair and

88
00:04:25,720 --> 00:04:28,200
Speaker 2: Laura Trump, who is our great co chair, took over,

89
00:04:29,400 --> 00:04:31,960
Speaker 2: had breakfast with the President and we were talking. He said,

90
00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:34,400
Speaker 2: all right, Michael, what's the plan? How are we going

91
00:04:34,440 --> 00:04:36,600
Speaker 2: to win. And I said, sir, we are going to

92
00:04:36,640 --> 00:04:39,200
Speaker 2: do two things right. The RNC tends to do a

93
00:04:39,200 --> 00:04:42,040
Speaker 2: lot of things, we're not. We're going to eliminate everything else.

94
00:04:42,080 --> 00:04:43,920
Speaker 2: We're going to focus on two critical missions. We're going

95
00:04:43,920 --> 00:04:45,679
Speaker 2: to get out the vote and we're going to protect

96
00:04:45,720 --> 00:04:48,320
Speaker 2: the ballot. I mean, we have been at the RNC

97
00:04:48,880 --> 00:04:51,279
Speaker 2: a get out the vote machine for decades. We're really

98
00:04:51,320 --> 00:04:54,479
Speaker 2: really good at contacting voters, phone calls, door knocks, mail,

99
00:04:54,640 --> 00:04:56,680
Speaker 2: all that stuff to get people to go vote. But

100
00:04:56,760 --> 00:04:59,600
Speaker 2: we've never done election integrity before. We were under a

101
00:04:59,680 --> 00:05:01,840
Speaker 2: court order for forty years that we couldn't do it.

102
00:05:02,160 --> 00:05:04,480
Speaker 2: So when that got lifted, then we went into the

103
00:05:04,520 --> 00:05:07,479
Speaker 2: twenty twenty cycle. I'll say this, what happened in twenty

104
00:05:07,520 --> 00:05:11,400
Speaker 2: twenty cannot ever happen again. So my highest priority right

105
00:05:11,440 --> 00:05:15,799
Speaker 2: now is building out the first ever national election integrity program.

106
00:05:16,040 --> 00:05:17,880
Speaker 6: So what does that mean? It means two things.

107
00:05:17,920 --> 00:05:21,040
Speaker 2: One, in every state, we want the right rules of

108
00:05:21,040 --> 00:05:23,640
Speaker 2: the road in place. We want the right laws, rules, regulations.

109
00:05:23,680 --> 00:05:27,160
Speaker 2: We want only American citizens voting. We want voter ID.

110
00:05:27,520 --> 00:05:29,920
Speaker 2: We want states to clean up their voter rules. States

111
00:05:29,920 --> 00:05:33,159
Speaker 2: that are going to do mail or absentee balloting. You

112
00:05:33,200 --> 00:05:36,880
Speaker 2: need basic protections in place, like signature requirements, witness requirements.

113
00:05:36,960 --> 00:05:39,400
Speaker 2: We want those ballots in a mailbox, not a dropbox,

114
00:05:39,720 --> 00:05:41,760
Speaker 2: and we want all those mallets in by election day.

115
00:05:41,960 --> 00:05:45,599
Speaker 2: This is not a conspiracy theory, this is not election denihilism.

116
00:05:45,960 --> 00:05:48,720
Speaker 2: This is about basic protection. Seventy eighty percent of the

117
00:05:48,760 --> 00:05:51,039
Speaker 2: American people support them, so we're going to get those

118
00:05:51,040 --> 00:05:53,080
Speaker 2: in place. The second thing we're going to do is

119
00:05:53,080 --> 00:05:55,159
Speaker 2: we're going to be in a room. You have to

120
00:05:55,160 --> 00:05:57,200
Speaker 2: be in a room when people are voting. You have

121
00:05:57,279 --> 00:05:59,520
Speaker 2: to be in a room when people are counting the votes.

122
00:05:59,880 --> 00:06:02,479
Speaker 3: Who's in the room. I'm curious about all that.

123
00:06:02,800 --> 00:06:06,599
Speaker 2: So we are recruiting right now one hundred thousand volunteers

124
00:06:06,640 --> 00:06:07,640
Speaker 2: all across the country.

125
00:06:07,720 --> 00:06:09,480
Speaker 1: If people listening to us want to do.

126
00:06:09,400 --> 00:06:13,240
Speaker 2: That, Protect the vote dot com Protective vote dot com. Yeah,

127
00:06:13,240 --> 00:06:15,120
Speaker 2: I'm happy to sound like a used car sales Right.

128
00:06:15,160 --> 00:06:18,920
Speaker 2: Protective vote dot com. Go to the site sign up.

129
00:06:19,279 --> 00:06:21,280
Speaker 2: You have to put in your name, you have to

130
00:06:21,320 --> 00:06:23,440
Speaker 2: put in your state. Right, we will direct you to

131
00:06:23,480 --> 00:06:25,960
Speaker 2: the right state programs for it. We are recruiting one

132
00:06:26,000 --> 00:06:28,440
Speaker 2: hundred thousand people across the country. We're going to train them,

133
00:06:28,480 --> 00:06:30,919
Speaker 2: and we're going to deploy them to be observers on

134
00:06:31,040 --> 00:06:33,640
Speaker 2: election day and throughout early voting. And then we are

135
00:06:33,680 --> 00:06:36,480
Speaker 2: also recruiting attorneys. I want five hundred attorneys in every

136
00:06:36,480 --> 00:06:39,040
Speaker 2: battleground state that are going to be there whenever an

137
00:06:39,080 --> 00:06:42,120
Speaker 2: issue is raised and brought up. This is the program

138
00:06:42,160 --> 00:06:44,000
Speaker 2: that I put in place as a state party chair

139
00:06:44,040 --> 00:06:47,120
Speaker 2: in North Carolina in twenty twenty. I started it in

140
00:06:47,160 --> 00:06:50,960
Speaker 2: twenty nineteen before anybody was even talking about election integrity,

141
00:06:51,160 --> 00:06:53,880
Speaker 2: and it worked. And so that's the program we're building

142
00:06:53,920 --> 00:06:56,240
Speaker 2: out all across this country. I can tell you this,

143
00:06:57,240 --> 00:07:00,600
Speaker 2: every single conversation that I have with President Trump, we

144
00:07:00,640 --> 00:07:03,400
Speaker 2: talk about election integrity. He wants to know how this

145
00:07:03,480 --> 00:07:05,880
Speaker 2: program is coming, and he wants to know that we

146
00:07:05,920 --> 00:07:08,880
Speaker 2: are putting everything in place to make sure what happened

147
00:07:08,920 --> 00:07:10,240
Speaker 2: in twenty doesn't happen again.

148
00:07:10,520 --> 00:07:13,679
Speaker 1: One big part as well as election integrity is getting

149
00:07:13,680 --> 00:07:16,760
Speaker 1: people to vote early, which is different than twenty twenty.

150
00:07:16,800 --> 00:07:18,280
Speaker 1: And it's fine. I know a lot of you I

151
00:07:18,320 --> 00:07:20,960
Speaker 1: probably will be a day of voter. I like to

152
00:07:21,000 --> 00:07:23,200
Speaker 1: go in on election day. I know people do. But

153
00:07:23,360 --> 00:07:26,240
Speaker 1: for people out there who are listening, how does it

154
00:07:26,360 --> 00:07:29,960
Speaker 1: help you if they bank their votes early compared to

155
00:07:30,360 --> 00:07:33,120
Speaker 1: if they sometimes wait, things can happen, you might not

156
00:07:33,160 --> 00:07:34,840
Speaker 1: be able to go on election day. What would you

157
00:07:34,960 --> 00:07:38,000
Speaker 1: encourage everybody across the nation to do in their respective states.

158
00:07:38,040 --> 00:07:41,200
Speaker 2: Sure, so, over half of all votes this cycle are

159
00:07:41,320 --> 00:07:45,240
Speaker 2: going to be cast before election day. Over half. We

160
00:07:45,400 --> 00:07:47,640
Speaker 2: have to talk to those voters before they go vote.

161
00:07:47,680 --> 00:07:50,600
Speaker 2: So we are essentially setting up a nationwide early vote

162
00:07:50,600 --> 00:07:53,720
Speaker 2: program to go out there and have those conversations. As

163
00:07:53,760 --> 00:07:56,520
Speaker 2: President Trump has said, it is great. If you want

164
00:07:56,520 --> 00:07:58,360
Speaker 2: to vote early, it's great. If you want to vote

165
00:07:58,360 --> 00:08:00,040
Speaker 2: by mail, it's great. If you want to vote on

166
00:08:00,080 --> 00:08:03,000
Speaker 2: election day, what you have to do have to do

167
00:08:03,240 --> 00:08:06,600
Speaker 2: is make a plan, execute the plan, and get that

168
00:08:06,720 --> 00:08:07,240
Speaker 2: vote in there.

169
00:08:07,360 --> 00:08:07,520
Speaker 4: Right.

170
00:08:07,600 --> 00:08:11,360
Speaker 6: So we have we have set up our vote.

171
00:08:11,040 --> 00:08:14,600
Speaker 2: Program or early vote program, Trump Force forty seven, and

172
00:08:14,680 --> 00:08:16,960
Speaker 2: we want to make sure that everybody knows how to vote.

173
00:08:17,000 --> 00:08:19,280
Speaker 2: If you want to vote early, go to our website.

174
00:08:19,320 --> 00:08:20,840
Speaker 2: It'll tell you how to vote early. I'll tell you

175
00:08:20,880 --> 00:08:23,800
Speaker 2: where you can go when you can vote, Trump Force forty.

176
00:08:23,560 --> 00:08:25,000
Speaker 3: Seven, Trump Force forty seven.

177
00:08:25,120 --> 00:08:27,040
Speaker 2: And then if you want to vote on election day,

178
00:08:27,080 --> 00:08:29,080
Speaker 2: we'll tell you where your precinct is and what the

179
00:08:29,120 --> 00:08:31,120
Speaker 2: hours are and if you want to vote by mail,

180
00:08:31,160 --> 00:08:32,560
Speaker 2: We'll give you a link so that you can go

181
00:08:32,640 --> 00:08:35,640
Speaker 2: get an absentee ballot and you can you can figure out.

182
00:08:35,559 --> 00:08:36,120
Speaker 6: How to do that.

183
00:08:36,400 --> 00:08:40,079
Speaker 2: So we're all about options at this point, and it

184
00:08:40,440 --> 00:08:43,160
Speaker 2: is really important for us because there are people who

185
00:08:43,160 --> 00:08:44,439
Speaker 2: can't vote on election day.

186
00:08:44,480 --> 00:08:45,520
Speaker 6: I can't vote on election day.

187
00:08:45,559 --> 00:08:46,800
Speaker 2: I don't know where I'm going to be, right, I

188
00:08:46,880 --> 00:08:48,839
Speaker 2: vote on the first day of early voting for everything.

189
00:08:49,120 --> 00:08:51,680
Speaker 1: You're sick or you got kids, and you got a

190
00:08:51,760 --> 00:08:55,400
Speaker 1: day like you can go ahead and back you're.

191
00:08:55,320 --> 00:08:56,000
Speaker 4: Votely, right.

192
00:08:56,080 --> 00:08:59,920
Speaker 2: So so but the key is, you know, we're focus

193
00:09:00,160 --> 00:09:02,360
Speaker 2: on making sure that everybody comes up with a plan.

194
00:09:02,480 --> 00:09:02,640
Speaker 4: Right.

195
00:09:02,679 --> 00:09:05,760
Speaker 2: We know we've got voters, We've got people who will

196
00:09:05,760 --> 00:09:09,120
Speaker 2: crawl across broken glass to vote for Donald Trump. Right,

197
00:09:09,559 --> 00:09:11,280
Speaker 2: We're going to get them out. But it's not enough

198
00:09:11,320 --> 00:09:13,720
Speaker 2: for them to vote. We want them to be ambassadors.

199
00:09:13,760 --> 00:09:15,680
Speaker 2: We want them to go out and talk to other voters,

200
00:09:15,800 --> 00:09:17,960
Speaker 2: and we want them to get low propensity voters in

201
00:09:18,280 --> 00:09:21,240
Speaker 2: and we want them to be ambassadors for us as

202
00:09:21,280 --> 00:09:21,960
Speaker 2: we're moving out.

203
00:09:22,040 --> 00:09:24,760
Speaker 5: So we're speaking here to the Chairman of the RNC,

204
00:09:24,920 --> 00:09:28,240
Speaker 5: Michael Wadley, And you know, I come from an intelligence

205
00:09:28,240 --> 00:09:31,480
Speaker 5: officer background, right and counterintelligence training. What is the other

206
00:09:31,600 --> 00:09:34,640
Speaker 5: side doing? How would they do it? Very important part

207
00:09:34,679 --> 00:09:37,920
Speaker 5: of being good at your job, right knowing Democrats are

208
00:09:38,360 --> 00:09:42,120
Speaker 5: going to rely on what and where to try to

209
00:09:42,320 --> 00:09:44,080
Speaker 5: just get the votes as they need them. You know,

210
00:09:44,120 --> 00:09:47,440
Speaker 5: where do they think currently? Is it in Pennsylvania with

211
00:09:47,559 --> 00:09:50,200
Speaker 5: early vote? Is it in Michigan with you I don't know.

212
00:09:50,480 --> 00:09:51,960
Speaker 5: You know what are some of the areas where you

213
00:09:52,000 --> 00:09:54,640
Speaker 5: think they have an advantage and you are working to

214
00:09:54,679 --> 00:09:56,040
Speaker 5: close that gap right now.

215
00:09:56,200 --> 00:09:59,840
Speaker 2: Fortunately, we're playing offense right now. Donald Trump's playing offense

216
00:10:00,080 --> 00:10:02,679
Speaker 2: across the country. If you think about the seven battleground

217
00:10:02,679 --> 00:10:06,840
Speaker 2: states that decided sixteen and twenty, right, Arizona, Nevada, Georgia,

218
00:10:06,840 --> 00:10:10,800
Speaker 2: North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Michigan. Right, those are the seven

219
00:10:10,840 --> 00:10:14,600
Speaker 2: states we're leading in all seven in the polls right now.

220
00:10:14,720 --> 00:10:18,640
Speaker 2: We're also moving Minnesota, New Hampshire and Virginia, three states

221
00:10:18,640 --> 00:10:21,320
Speaker 2: that we have not won in decades, all of a sudden,

222
00:10:21,480 --> 00:10:25,040
Speaker 2: very very competitive. We doing registered voters in PA, We're

223
00:10:25,080 --> 00:10:27,560
Speaker 2: doing great. I mean we have seen a solid uptick

224
00:10:27,600 --> 00:10:31,120
Speaker 2: in registered voting. We have closed the gap with the Democrats,

225
00:10:31,160 --> 00:10:36,480
Speaker 2: not entirely, but significantly as we've been moving forward and

226
00:10:36,520 --> 00:10:38,520
Speaker 2: we feel better every day. You know, we're leading two

227
00:10:38,520 --> 00:10:41,240
Speaker 2: to three points right now in Pennsylvania. I've talked to

228
00:10:41,280 --> 00:10:43,880
Speaker 2: the guys that ran Pennsylvania for us in twenty sixteen.

229
00:10:43,920 --> 00:10:46,600
Speaker 2: They said, we're going to win. We feel pretty comfortable

230
00:10:46,640 --> 00:10:49,000
Speaker 2: about that. But you know, Philadelphia is tough, right We

231
00:10:49,040 --> 00:10:52,440
Speaker 2: got to make sure that our election integrity programs in

232
00:10:52,480 --> 00:10:55,920
Speaker 2: Philadelphia are going to be tough. So we're playing offense

233
00:10:56,000 --> 00:10:58,400
Speaker 2: right now. You know, if you're the Democrats, what.

234
00:10:58,360 --> 00:11:00,160
Speaker 3: Do you think they're trying to catch up with your tho?

235
00:11:00,360 --> 00:11:03,000
Speaker 6: They absolutely are, you know, in our free fall right now.

236
00:11:03,040 --> 00:11:06,800
Speaker 2: They're spending money on a black coalition trying to mobilize

237
00:11:06,840 --> 00:11:09,160
Speaker 2: black voters for Joe Biden. They're spending money on a

238
00:11:09,280 --> 00:11:12,480
Speaker 2: Hispanic coalition. They're spending money on a women's coalition. The

239
00:11:12,559 --> 00:11:15,400
Speaker 2: fact that they're having to spend money to go out

240
00:11:15,400 --> 00:11:17,880
Speaker 2: there and play defense tells you a lot about where

241
00:11:17,880 --> 00:11:18,200
Speaker 2: they are.

242
00:11:18,280 --> 00:11:21,160
Speaker 1: How challenging last question for you, how challenging is it?

243
00:11:21,200 --> 00:11:23,800
Speaker 1: As we're sitting here right now, there is an eighty

244
00:11:23,920 --> 00:11:27,080
Speaker 1: seven percent chance in the odds market today. The numbers

245
00:11:27,160 --> 00:11:29,160
Speaker 1: keep going up that Joe Biden's not going to be

246
00:11:29,160 --> 00:11:31,880
Speaker 1: the nominee When you're basically trying to plan for a

247
00:11:31,880 --> 00:11:34,720
Speaker 1: boxing match and you don't know who you're boxing against.

248
00:11:34,880 --> 00:11:37,200
Speaker 1: Does that make it more challenging for you guys in

249
00:11:37,280 --> 00:11:40,200
Speaker 1: terms of getting your message out? Or is the opponent

250
00:11:40,480 --> 00:11:43,240
Speaker 1: secondary to the message that you think needs to get out.

251
00:11:43,320 --> 00:11:45,720
Speaker 2: So I think we'll wait and see on a tactical

252
00:11:45,840 --> 00:11:48,719
Speaker 2: level who that nominee is going to be, and we're

253
00:11:48,720 --> 00:11:50,360
Speaker 2: going to assume it's Joe Biden until it's not.

254
00:11:50,679 --> 00:11:51,120
Speaker 1: Yeah.

255
00:11:51,160 --> 00:11:53,040
Speaker 6: But from a strategic.

256
00:11:52,440 --> 00:11:56,360
Speaker 2: Standpoint, there's not a big shift because if you look

257
00:11:56,400 --> 00:12:00,000
Speaker 2: at the policies that Joe Biden has implemented, inflationary policy

258
00:12:00,280 --> 00:12:03,840
Speaker 2: that have caused gas prices and grocery prices and housing

259
00:12:03,880 --> 00:12:06,480
Speaker 2: prices to all go through the roof, Key in this

260
00:12:06,559 --> 00:12:09,000
Speaker 2: campaign has doubled down on every one of them. You

261
00:12:09,040 --> 00:12:12,280
Speaker 2: talk about the open border policies, ten million illegal immigrants

262
00:12:12,320 --> 00:12:14,840
Speaker 2: that have come across the border. He has doubled down

263
00:12:14,840 --> 00:12:18,320
Speaker 2: on every single one of those policies, weakening America's standing

264
00:12:18,360 --> 00:12:21,719
Speaker 2: across the country by weakening our military. He's doubled down

265
00:12:21,760 --> 00:12:25,560
Speaker 2: on every one of them. But it's not just Joe Biden.

266
00:12:25,720 --> 00:12:27,439
Speaker 2: They don't just have a messenger problem. They got a

267
00:12:27,440 --> 00:12:30,240
Speaker 2: message problem because Kamala Harris is going to adopt every

268
00:12:30,240 --> 00:12:33,480
Speaker 2: single one of those platforms. Gaven Newsen would adopt every

269
00:12:33,480 --> 00:12:36,000
Speaker 2: one of those platforms, Scratching Whitmer, anybody else that they

270
00:12:36,000 --> 00:12:37,880
Speaker 2: put up there is going to double down on the

271
00:12:37,880 --> 00:12:38,680
Speaker 2: failed policies.

272
00:12:38,800 --> 00:12:38,959
Speaker 4: Right.

273
00:12:39,040 --> 00:12:43,199
Speaker 2: Only President Trump can restore our border, restore our economy,

274
00:12:43,240 --> 00:12:45,800
Speaker 2: restore US standing in the world, and lead America into

275
00:12:45,800 --> 00:12:46,400
Speaker 2: a better era.

276
00:12:46,920 --> 00:12:49,440
Speaker 5: R and C Chairman Widly, really appreciate you making the

277

286
00:13:10,800 --> 00:13:11,840
Speaker 6: This is an important cause.

287
00:13:12,040 --> 00:13:12,720
Speaker 3: Thanks so much.

288
00:13:13,240 --> 00:13:16,120

334
00:15:25,520 --> 00:15:29,800

Speaker 5: no matter what, are going to be really focused in

336

Speaker 5: on Senate map, very tough for them. But House of

Speaker 5: We will not surrender our beachfront property on Buck Island

342
00:15:51,280 --> 00:15:55,160
Speaker 5: just because of some headlines, A flurry of headlines an

343
00:15:55,240 --> 00:15:56,920
Speaker 5: avalanche perhaps.

344
00:15:56,800 --> 00:15:59,240

345
00:15:59,320 --> 00:16:01,760
Speaker 1: it's it's a little rough out there. The caees are

Speaker 1: getting a little stormy for us.

347
00:16:03,440 --> 00:16:07,040
Speaker 5: But I will say for those who are insisting that

348
00:16:07,280 --> 00:16:10,520
Speaker 5: the end is imminent for Biden's campaign, I bring you

351
00:16:15,400 --> 00:16:17,720

352
00:16:17,720 --> 00:16:19,360

356
00:16:27,920 --> 00:16:29,280
Speaker 3: she tweeted this out.

357
00:16:29,480 --> 00:16:32,440
Speaker 5: If Biden were truly going along with his coup plotters

358
00:16:32,440 --> 00:16:33,440
Speaker 5: to resign quickly.

359
00:16:33,880 --> 00:16:35,720
Speaker 3: Would Schumer, Pelosi, etc.

360
00:16:36,200 --> 00:16:39,400
Speaker 5: Be leaking to allied media like they are, or would

361
00:16:39,400 --> 00:16:44,080
Speaker 5: they be quietly stage managing a dignified exit and our

362
00:16:44,120 --> 00:16:46,640
Speaker 5: own Julie Kelly, who we have on so frequently, Clay

363
00:16:46,640 --> 00:16:50,200
Speaker 5: adds in here, I'm still in the diminishing minority who

364
00:16:50,200 --> 00:16:54,280
Speaker 5: thinks he stays put Julie Molly, we will never surrender

365
00:16:54,320 --> 00:16:57,440
Speaker 5: on Buck Island. We will never give in until we're

366
00:16:57,480 --> 00:16:58,080
Speaker 5: actually wrong.

367
00:16:58,240 --> 00:17:01,160
Speaker 1: It does feel like I think it's fair to say

368
00:17:01,440 --> 00:17:05,959
Speaker 1: that they were trying to meaning Pelosi, meaning Schumer, meaning Obama,

369
00:17:06,119 --> 00:17:09,840
Speaker 1: all of the Democrat Party big wigs. They were all

370
00:17:09,960 --> 00:17:14,119
Speaker 1: trying to avoid having to go public with this. But

371
00:17:14,359 --> 00:17:17,800
Speaker 1: NBC News just came out with a story, and you

372
00:17:17,880 --> 00:17:21,399
Speaker 1: are correct that there definitely is a pressure associated with this.

373
00:17:21,440 --> 00:17:23,600
Speaker 1: And I was just reading this headline to you as

415
00:19:37,600 --> 00:19:41,360

Speaker 8: push our our our group to hopefully take over the reins.

Speaker 5: government here, given the direction of everything, all the polls

420
00:19:53,240 --> 00:19:55,399

00:20:13,880 --> 00:20:16,040
Speaker 8: But yeah, yeah, but yet at the end of the day,

430
00:20:16,400 --> 00:20:18,200
Speaker 8: we don't get the Senate, he won't he'll be in

00:20:18,280 --> 00:20:21,520
Speaker 8: peached within six months. Yeah, they'll they'll jerky him out.

432
00:20:21,520 --> 00:20:23,720
Speaker 8: So what we we've got it is we've got to

433
00:20:23,880 --> 00:20:25,480
Speaker 8: get the majority of the Senate and I think we

434
00:20:25,560 --> 00:20:28,080
Speaker 8: will hopefully well keep the majority in the House and

435
00:20:28,119 --> 00:20:29,960
Speaker 8: then if we get President Trump and we can get

436
00:20:29,960 --> 00:20:32,280
Speaker 8: something done. But I'll tell you what, we'll have a

437
00:20:32,320 --> 00:20:34,880
Speaker 8: government that will be stalled out if we don't get

438
00:20:34,920 --> 00:20:35,560
Speaker 8: all three of them.

439
00:20:35,600 --> 00:20:38,080
Speaker 3: Who should be Senate majority leader if you take the Senate.

440
00:20:37,840 --> 00:20:40,040
Speaker 8: Back, Well, I think it's what's going to happen is

441
00:20:40,080 --> 00:20:42,199
Speaker 8: we've got about six or seven people that could be

442
00:20:42,280 --> 00:20:45,639
Speaker 8: new coming in that's going to have opportunity to vote. Uh,

443
00:20:45,760 --> 00:20:47,480
Speaker 8: I'd like to get somebody.

444
00:20:47,040 --> 00:20:49,320
Speaker 4: That maybe new.

445
00:20:49,680 --> 00:20:52,000
Speaker 8: Uh you know, I was was for Jade events, putting

446
00:20:52,040 --> 00:20:53,320
Speaker 8: his hat in the ring for that.

447
00:20:53,359 --> 00:20:54,480
Speaker 4: Of course, now it's he's.

448
00:20:54,320 --> 00:20:54,920
Speaker 3: Got another job.

449
00:20:56,600 --> 00:20:59,600
Speaker 8: But we've got some good young people uh in there.

450
00:20:59,600 --> 00:21:02,120
Speaker 8: I tell you what, Eric Smith is really good out

451
00:21:02,119 --> 00:21:07,879
Speaker 8: of Missouri. You know Ted Budd from North Carolina. It's

452
00:21:08,280 --> 00:21:10,280
Speaker 8: we've gotten away from a lot of the old regime

453
00:21:10,800 --> 00:21:14,520
Speaker 8: and getting more new people in there. I'm excited about it.

454
00:21:14,600 --> 00:21:16,520
Speaker 8: I'm more excited now than when I first went in.

455
00:21:17,119 --> 00:21:19,520
Speaker 1: So as you look here percent it three and a

456
00:21:19,560 --> 00:21:21,680
Speaker 1: half months out from the election. You mentioned you want

457
00:21:21,680 --> 00:21:24,920
Speaker 1: to Senate majority. Who were you optimistic about for people

458
00:21:24,920 --> 00:21:28,280
Speaker 1: out there listening to nationwide? Where do you think obviously,

459
00:21:28,320 --> 00:21:31,040
Speaker 1: pick up in West Virginia gets us to fifty to fifty?

460
00:21:31,480 --> 00:21:35,000
Speaker 1: Are you optimistic about Ohio? Montana? Who have you seen

461
00:21:35,040 --> 00:21:36,600
Speaker 1: and you said, boy, this guy or this guy they

462
00:21:36,600 --> 00:21:37,400
Speaker 1: really have a shout?

463
00:21:37,400 --> 00:21:40,840
Speaker 8: Well, Larry Hogan is up in Maryland. Who'd have thought, right,

464
00:21:41,000 --> 00:21:43,560
Speaker 8: this is totally democratic state? But he was governor there

465
00:21:43,600 --> 00:21:45,840
Speaker 8: well liked. I think he's got a chance. Know that

466
00:21:45,920 --> 00:21:47,960
Speaker 8: a lot of water under the bridge between now and

467
00:21:48,040 --> 00:21:53,240
Speaker 8: then and then Bernie Marino and Ohio. I think he's leading. Yeah,

468
00:21:54,280 --> 00:21:57,639
Speaker 8: and that one I don't know about Pennsylvania. I think

469
00:21:58,080 --> 00:21:59,640
Speaker 8: a lot of these are going to go in line

470
00:21:59,640 --> 00:22:02,320
Speaker 8: with isn't Trump? And that's reason it's so important to

471
00:22:02,359 --> 00:22:04,840
Speaker 8: get on the ticket with a guy like President Trump.

472
00:22:07,359 --> 00:22:10,400
Speaker 8: I think Carry Lake's go win. Everybody's got hurt now,

473
00:22:10,440 --> 00:22:12,320
Speaker 8: it's not gonna not gonna win. Oh, this guy is

474
00:22:12,359 --> 00:22:14,400
Speaker 8: a communist. Yes, she's running against come home.

475
00:22:14,840 --> 00:22:19,480
Speaker 4: I mean, you don't have to sell us no communist, Yeah,

476
00:22:19,480 --> 00:22:19,879
Speaker 4: for sure.

477
00:22:20,119 --> 00:22:22,880
Speaker 5: Well, what would be top of the agenda if you could,

478
00:22:23,480 --> 00:22:25,800
Speaker 5: if you have your your you'll have to say, certainly.

479
00:22:25,880 --> 00:22:29,159
Speaker 5: But if you got your pick coming into again, just

480
00:22:29,200 --> 00:22:32,399
Speaker 5: to assume we have a Republican majority of House, Senate

481
00:22:32,440 --> 00:22:34,280
Speaker 5: and Donald Trump in the Oval office, what would you

482
00:22:34,320 --> 00:22:37,520
Speaker 5: want to see get done in terms of major legislation

483
00:22:38,280 --> 00:22:38,959
Speaker 5: year one?

484
00:22:39,080 --> 00:22:41,560
Speaker 8: Well, first of all, if you've got all three three,

485
00:22:41,640 --> 00:22:42,800
Speaker 8: you've got reconciliation.

486
00:22:43,480 --> 00:22:43,800
Speaker 4: Okay.

487
00:22:43,920 --> 00:22:47,760
Speaker 8: Reconciliation is something that it only takes fifty one votes

488
00:22:48,359 --> 00:22:52,160
Speaker 8: to pass something in the Senate normally.

489
00:22:51,760 --> 00:22:52,160
Speaker 4: Thank you.

490
00:22:52,280 --> 00:22:55,679
Speaker 8: And in the Senate normally it takes sixty votes. But

491
00:22:55,720 --> 00:22:59,119
Speaker 8: you've got several things that you can pass with reconciliation

492
00:22:59,240 --> 00:23:02,520
Speaker 8: with fifty one votes. And so President Trump's first year

493
00:23:02,560 --> 00:23:05,000
Speaker 8: is going to be huge because he's only got four

494
00:23:05,320 --> 00:23:07,959
Speaker 8: and once you get past that second one, it's going

495
00:23:08,000 --> 00:23:11,320
Speaker 8: to be very, very tough. But if we've, if somehow

496
00:23:11,440 --> 00:23:14,320
Speaker 8: can get all three stages of the of the government,

497
00:23:14,359 --> 00:23:16,600
Speaker 8: then we'll have a great opportunity. But you know, we

498
00:23:17,359 --> 00:23:19,320
Speaker 8: have got to start cutting back on this debt.

499
00:23:19,400 --> 00:23:19,640
Speaker 4: Guys.

500
00:23:19,680 --> 00:23:23,280
Speaker 8: We are printing eighty thousand dollars a second right now,

501
00:23:23,520 --> 00:23:26,040
Speaker 8: keeping this country afloat. We can't do that, and our

502
00:23:26,160 --> 00:23:29,240
Speaker 8: kids are going to be overwhelmed by the debt and

503
00:23:29,720 --> 00:23:33,359
Speaker 8: high prices just in the very near future Saturday.

504
00:23:34,280 --> 00:23:38,240
Speaker 1: By God's grace, President Trump is spared, right. But I

505
00:23:38,400 --> 00:23:40,600
Speaker 1: know that you guys in the Senate have been trying

506
00:23:40,600 --> 00:23:43,440
Speaker 1: to figure out how in the world did that Secret

507
00:23:43,520 --> 00:23:48,040
Speaker 1: Service head allow this to happen? How troubled are you

508
00:23:48,119 --> 00:23:50,840
Speaker 1: by the fact that that guy got a shot on Trump? Yeah,

509
00:23:51,080 --> 00:23:53,719
Speaker 1: and the fact that they're you know this I've been

510
00:23:53,720 --> 00:23:56,440
Speaker 1: talking about on the show for a long time. Football

511
00:23:56,480 --> 00:23:58,879
Speaker 1: coaches are held to a higher job standard than a

512
00:23:58,920 --> 00:24:03,280
Speaker 1: secret service. We're getting stuff backwards when that's the reality.

513
00:24:03,760 --> 00:24:06,280
Speaker 1: She should I bet you agree get fired. But how

514
00:24:06,359 --> 00:24:08,520
Speaker 1: in the world is that ever allowed to have happened

515
00:24:08,560 --> 00:24:09,320
Speaker 1: in the first place.

516
00:24:10,000 --> 00:24:12,400
Speaker 8: Hey, let me tell you. You know, I'm a common sense guy.

517
00:24:12,400 --> 00:24:15,439
Speaker 8: I'm not a politician. You know, I came from a

518
00:24:15,480 --> 00:24:18,840
Speaker 8: structured environment. For the last thirty five years. I've never

519
00:24:19,040 --> 00:24:22,639
Speaker 8: seen so inconfident people in my life. That's what we

520
00:24:22,760 --> 00:24:25,399
Speaker 8: have on the Democratic side in Washington, d C. It

521
00:24:25,480 --> 00:24:28,639
Speaker 8: is embarrassing. The people that come through are building in

522
00:24:28,760 --> 00:24:33,960
Speaker 8: terms of being nominated and getting their nomination through. I mean,

523
00:24:34,760 --> 00:24:38,480
Speaker 8: these people have no business being running our country. Now,

524
00:24:39,040 --> 00:24:41,920
Speaker 8: this lady, I don't know her, but I will tell

525
00:24:41,920 --> 00:24:44,880
Speaker 8: you this. Yesterday about this time, we had a conference

526
00:24:44,920 --> 00:24:47,880
Speaker 8: call with her. First thing, she says, and tries to

527
00:24:47,920 --> 00:24:51,359
Speaker 8: push over all of US Democrat and Republican Senator. She says,

528
00:24:52,240 --> 00:24:55,760
Speaker 8: first of all, this was a failure of assassination.

529
00:24:56,600 --> 00:24:56,919
Speaker 4: Stop.

530
00:24:57,880 --> 00:25:00,080
Speaker 8: Once that trigger was pulled, you you.

531
00:25:02,000 --> 00:25:04,159
Speaker 4: Should be fired, okay, because that's what you do.

532
00:25:04,359 --> 00:25:06,400
Speaker 3: You can't rely on the bad aim of impact.

533
00:25:06,440 --> 00:25:08,520
Speaker 1: If the guy happened to miss because Trump turned his

534
00:25:08,600 --> 00:25:10,359
Speaker 1: head is not a saving grace.

535
00:25:11,000 --> 00:25:15,360
Speaker 5: So, as we've been discussing, Senator, it would be still unacceptable,

536
00:25:15,480 --> 00:25:18,400
Speaker 5: But certainly I think there'd be a somewhat different feeling

537
00:25:18,960 --> 00:25:24,000
Speaker 5: if it was an incredibly complicated plot taken on by

538
00:25:24,800 --> 00:25:29,160
Speaker 5: trained assassins from distance doing something that wouldn't be expected.

539
00:25:29,480 --> 00:25:33,440
Speaker 5: This was some lunatic twenty year old with no real

540
00:25:33,480 --> 00:25:36,760
Speaker 5: training that anybody knows about, doing the most obvious thing

541
00:25:36,840 --> 00:25:40,000
Speaker 5: possible to try to kill a presidential candidate, and he

542
00:25:40,040 --> 00:25:40,920
Speaker 5: almost pulled it off.

543
00:25:41,000 --> 00:25:43,800
Speaker 8: And walking around thirty to forty minutes beforehand, people are

544
00:25:43,800 --> 00:25:46,560
Speaker 8: recognizing climbing on top of a building. What in the

545
00:25:46,640 --> 00:25:49,119
Speaker 8: world is going on. But there's going to be a

546
00:25:49,200 --> 00:25:54,200
Speaker 8: huge fight here with local police and Secret.

547
00:25:53,880 --> 00:25:55,960
Speaker 1: Service over who's to blame. They're going to try to

548
00:25:56,000 --> 00:25:56,520
Speaker 1: blame chef.

549
00:25:56,640 --> 00:25:58,560
Speaker 8: Local police said, listen, y'all put us in charge of

550
00:25:58,560 --> 00:25:59,920
Speaker 8: traffic and parking.

551
00:26:00,200 --> 00:26:02,959
Speaker 4: Yeah, so what we got to do with a shooter?

552
00:26:03,160 --> 00:26:03,400
Speaker 3: Yeah?

553
00:26:03,440 --> 00:26:05,680
Speaker 5: I mean, look, I think I think it's a situation

554
00:26:05,720 --> 00:26:08,120
Speaker 5: where the buck stops with the Secret Service. I don't

555
00:26:08,119 --> 00:26:09,720
Speaker 5: think you can get around that. No matter what the

556
00:26:09,920 --> 00:26:11,280
Speaker 5: local law enforcement role.

557
00:26:11,200 --> 00:26:15,159
Speaker 4: Was, he is the guy that's in charge all this is.

558
00:26:15,200 --> 00:26:17,680
Speaker 8: But Joe Biden, he's fired one guy, and that was

559
00:26:17,720 --> 00:26:20,439
Speaker 8: the guy Stephen Luggage out of airports, putting dresses and

560
00:26:20,440 --> 00:26:21,720
Speaker 8: starting what comes first.

561
00:26:21,560 --> 00:26:26,919
Speaker 3: Time doing that. No, can't have it. I think I

562
00:26:26,960 --> 00:26:28,520
Speaker 3: got him.

563
00:26:30,359 --> 00:26:31,960
Speaker 1: The hell do we have guys who are still in

564
00:26:32,119 --> 00:26:35,479
Speaker 1: dresses and positions of power in the Biden administration dudes

565
00:26:35,480 --> 00:26:37,800
Speaker 1: in the first place. But you're right, the only person

566
00:26:37,800 --> 00:26:38,760
Speaker 1: that's gotten fired.

567
00:26:38,560 --> 00:26:42,840
Speaker 8: Yeah, non binary energy official before the sun went down.

568
00:26:42,880 --> 00:26:44,480
Speaker 4: After that, she should have been fired.

569
00:26:44,600 --> 00:26:44,959
Speaker 3: Yeah.

570
00:26:45,000 --> 00:26:48,239
Speaker 8: And of course there's nobody running the zoo up there

571
00:26:48,280 --> 00:26:50,919
Speaker 8: right now. Joe Biden, he's he he doesn't know what

572
00:26:51,000 --> 00:26:52,880
Speaker 8: day it is, so he's not gonna fire anybody.

573
00:26:53,000 --> 00:26:54,800
Speaker 5: One thing you get the sense of, I think, Senator,

574
00:26:54,920 --> 00:26:56,440
Speaker 5: is that when it comes to a lot of these

575
00:26:56,480 --> 00:26:58,399
Speaker 5: agencies and look I used to working when I was

576
00:26:58,400 --> 00:27:02,080
Speaker 5: in the CIA. Uh, there's if you look at the

577
00:27:02,119 --> 00:27:04,000
Speaker 5: donations for example, I mean I can think of the

578
00:27:04,040 --> 00:27:08,560
Speaker 5: Hillary Clinton Donald Trump year, overwhelmingly civil.

579
00:27:08,280 --> 00:27:10,040
Speaker 3: Service donations go to Democrats.

580
00:27:10,119 --> 00:27:13,320
Speaker 5: It just feels like you can't really separate that from

581
00:27:13,880 --> 00:27:17,320
Speaker 5: this has become within the federal bureaucracy. Not only is

582
00:27:17,359 --> 00:27:20,680
Speaker 5: it larger, more powerful, more expensive than ever before, there's

583
00:27:20,760 --> 00:27:25,280
Speaker 5: no accountability. There's none whatsoever, as long as you're on

584
00:27:25,320 --> 00:27:28,040
Speaker 5: the right side politically, which is the Democrats side.

585
00:27:28,080 --> 00:27:30,320
Speaker 8: And I keep hearing, oh man, we're gonna have House

586
00:27:30,359 --> 00:27:33,600
Speaker 8: hearings next week, We're gonna have Senate hearings. They don't

587
00:27:33,640 --> 00:27:36,520
Speaker 8: mean a damn thing. Okay, you can get somebody to

588
00:27:36,560 --> 00:27:39,960
Speaker 8: just get up there. Absolutely lied to you. Nothing's gonna happen.

589
00:27:40,200 --> 00:27:42,000
Speaker 8: It's got to go back to the person at top

590
00:27:42,080 --> 00:27:44,280
Speaker 8: that's got to hold people accountable for their job.

591
00:27:44,320 --> 00:27:45,920
Speaker 4: But nobody is Washington, d C.

592
00:27:46,160 --> 00:27:48,680
Speaker 8: Is a cluster. It is an absolute cluster. We got

593
00:27:48,680 --> 00:27:51,280
Speaker 8: way too many bureaucrats, way too many people at work

594
00:27:51,320 --> 00:27:54,600
Speaker 8: in the federal government. Nobody's accountable. Do what you want

595
00:27:54,640 --> 00:27:57,720
Speaker 8: to do. Half the people, I'd say eighty percent of

596
00:27:57,720 --> 00:28:00,000
Speaker 8: the people in Washington, d C. Then been to work

597
00:28:00,040 --> 00:28:03,000
Speaker 8: because it's COVID They work from home. Are you kidding me?

598
00:28:03,480 --> 00:28:03,880
Speaker 1: Crazy?

599
00:28:04,240 --> 00:28:06,720
Speaker 4: Yeah, we can't run a country like this.

600
00:28:07,080 --> 00:28:10,119
Speaker 1: Senator Tuberville, I'm glad you're here with us, but I

601
00:28:10,200 --> 00:28:12,720
Speaker 1: know that you're missing college football, but you're fighting to

602
00:28:12,800 --> 00:28:15,160
Speaker 1: save the country. We'll talk to you again so.

603
00:28:15,160 --> 00:28:17,280
Speaker 3: Way, But I need to know which which which game?

604
00:28:17,520 --> 00:28:22,040
Speaker 5: As a devoted War Eagle fan, which game this year

605
00:28:22,080 --> 00:28:23,520
Speaker 5: do I have to go? Have Clay take me to

606
00:28:23,520 --> 00:28:25,320
Speaker 5: see because he can get into all these this year.

607
00:28:25,160 --> 00:28:27,320
Speaker 8: For the first time in the history of Auburn, Oklahoma

608
00:28:27,359 --> 00:28:29,320
Speaker 8: comes to town. I think it's like the second or

609
00:28:29,359 --> 00:28:31,600
Speaker 8: third game that would be a that's good. You know,

610
00:28:31,640 --> 00:28:33,320
Speaker 8: I don't know whether Oklahoma's going to be any good,

611
00:28:33,320 --> 00:28:35,600
Speaker 8: but they've still got the name. I think they've really

612
00:28:35,720 --> 00:28:39,040
Speaker 8: dropped over the last you know, ten years. Bob Stoops

613
00:28:39,040 --> 00:28:41,040
Speaker 8: had it really going and they bring Lincoln Rally in

614
00:28:41,080 --> 00:28:43,440
Speaker 8: and he kind of run the gamut and run everything

615
00:28:43,440 --> 00:28:44,960
Speaker 8: out of it. But at the end of the day,

616
00:28:45,000 --> 00:28:47,160
Speaker 8: you know, for us, you know, the new people playing

617
00:28:47,200 --> 00:28:50,040
Speaker 8: each other, Texas going to Georgia and I don't even

618
00:28:50,040 --> 00:28:51,520
Speaker 8: know whether they played them or not. But the new

619
00:28:51,600 --> 00:28:55,920
Speaker 8: rivalries are their rivalries are what made college football. And

620
00:28:55,960 --> 00:28:57,320
Speaker 8: I hope the heck we don't ruin.

621
00:28:57,240 --> 00:28:59,000
Speaker 3: Him Clay while he's here. I forget all that role

622
00:28:59,000 --> 00:29:01,600
Speaker 3: type stuff. War Eagle, you know what I mean.

623
00:29:03,040 --> 00:29:06,120
Speaker 1: Careful going into Alabama taking both the equation?

624
00:29:09,160 --> 00:29:09,840
Speaker 4: Yeah really?

625
00:29:09,880 --> 00:29:12,720
Speaker 5: Oh yes, sir, the Rock Office two thousand and five

626
00:29:12,760 --> 00:29:13,800
Speaker 5: to twenty eleven.

627
00:29:14,360 --> 00:29:16,600
Speaker 4: Good. Yeah, well, we might call you back up.

628
00:29:17,600 --> 00:29:18,680
Speaker 3: It's funny you bring that up.

629
00:29:18,720 --> 00:29:23,960
Speaker 5: Actually, A couple of people have about questions at the

630
00:29:24,040 --> 00:29:26,160
Speaker 5: high level anyway. I know we got to I know,

631

Speaker 5: we have so many fun people to talk to. Team,

632
00:29:28,480 --> 00:29:30,360

635
00:29:35,240 --> 00:29:36,440

641
00:29:47,080 --> 00:29:50,640
Speaker 5: Creek Arsenal Man. I'm telling you, every time I try

642
00:29:50,680 --> 00:29:53,880
Speaker 5: a new Bear Creek Arsenal weapon, I'm just amazed at

643
00:29:53,880 --> 00:29:56,040

645
00:29:59,360 --> 00:30:02,160

646
00:30:02,160 --> 00:30:04,120
Speaker 5: they make is and what the prices are.

647
00:30:04,760 --> 00:30:05,800
Speaker 3: It's just unbeatable.

648
00:30:06,280 --> 00:30:09,320
Speaker 5: You know, my main gun store in Miami two they

649

Speaker 5: know all about these guys. They say, Look, they're just

00:30:11,280 --> 00:30:14,120

668
00:31:05,880 --> 00:31:10,240
Speaker 5: Official Marathon Initiative principle, and just a super smart guy.

669
00:31:10,320 --> 00:31:13,960
Speaker 5: Yesterday was National Security Day. What's the biggest national security

670
00:31:14,040 --> 00:31:18,560
Speaker 5: challenge that you see for let's assume an incoming Trump administration,

671
00:31:18,680 --> 00:31:20,440
Speaker 5: I mean, the biggest one that you think needs to

672
00:31:20,480 --> 00:31:21,360
Speaker 5: get the most attention.

673
00:31:21,720 --> 00:31:23,000
Speaker 1: Well, great to be with you, guys.

674
00:31:23,040 --> 00:31:24,680
Speaker 9: It's got to be China and I think that was

675
00:31:24,800 --> 00:31:27,000
Speaker 9: underscored in the platform, and we've seen it from both

676
00:31:27,000 --> 00:31:29,560
Speaker 9: President Trump, Center Vance and others. But also I think

677
00:31:29,600 --> 00:31:33,360
Speaker 9: the overall bucket would be kind of this injection of

678
00:31:33,400 --> 00:31:36,000
Speaker 9: common sense America first, thinking like right now, you know,

679
00:31:36,360 --> 00:31:39,600
Speaker 9: Joe Biden hands out commitments and new you know, security

680
00:31:39,640 --> 00:31:42,840
Speaker 9: obligations like their candy, and there's no backup, there's no reindustrialization,

681
00:31:42,880 --> 00:31:43,320
Speaker 9: et cetera.

682
00:31:43,520 --> 00:31:44,560
Speaker 3: That's kind of the metapoint.

683
00:31:44,560 --> 00:31:46,480
Speaker 9: We got to focus on the biggest challenge to America

684
00:31:46,520 --> 00:31:47,640
Speaker 9: from abroad, which is China.

685
00:31:47,800 --> 00:31:49,640
Speaker 3: We've got to have the basis to do so, too. Well,

686
00:31:49,800 --> 00:31:51,440
Speaker 3: what do we do though, Like what's the best way

687
00:31:51,480 --> 00:31:52,080
Speaker 3: to handle China?

688
00:31:52,120 --> 00:31:54,840
Speaker 5: Because one thing I do know is that the Trump

689
00:31:55,320 --> 00:31:58,040
Speaker 5: challenging of China that even the right was a little

690
00:31:58,080 --> 00:32:01,200
Speaker 5: bit opposed to in twenty sixteen has now at least

691
00:32:01,200 --> 00:32:04,680
Speaker 5: infused itself somewhat into a bipartisan or more bipartisan view

692
00:32:04,720 --> 00:32:05,840
Speaker 5: of what the China threat is.

693
00:32:06,000 --> 00:32:06,400
Speaker 1: Totally.

694
00:32:06,400 --> 00:32:08,000
Speaker 9: But my concern is, and I think you see it

695
00:32:08,000 --> 00:32:10,680
Speaker 9: from Biden people, it's largely superficial. And that's why it's

696
00:32:10,680 --> 00:32:14,600
Speaker 9: so important that the platform is emphasizing the reindustrialization. Center

697
00:32:14,720 --> 00:32:16,640
Speaker 9: Vance always says Why are we in a position where

698
00:32:16,640 --> 00:32:18,320
Speaker 9: we're about to fight a war with China and we

699
00:32:18,360 --> 00:32:19,960
Speaker 9: get all our stuff made in China. Why don't we

700
00:32:20,000 --> 00:32:22,240
Speaker 9: have our stuff made at home and we don't get

701
00:32:22,240 --> 00:32:23,760
Speaker 9: in the war with China from a position of peace

702
00:32:23,760 --> 00:32:25,640
Speaker 9: true strengths, as he said, So, I think that's the

703
00:32:25,680 --> 00:32:27,240
Speaker 9: key way, because we got to be able to produce

704
00:32:27,280 --> 00:32:29,880
Speaker 9: stuff at scale to allow our forces to be so

705
00:32:29,960 --> 00:32:32,000
Speaker 9: frightening that they don't get challenged, but also that our

706
00:32:32,000 --> 00:32:35,240
Speaker 9: friends and allies like Israel, Poland South Korea, India, that

707
00:32:35,320 --> 00:32:36,920
Speaker 9: they can fight their battles too, and we can back

708
00:32:36,960 --> 00:32:37,280
Speaker 9: them up.

709
00:32:37,400 --> 00:32:41,120
Speaker 1: Trump wins. What does it mean to Ukraine Russia piece?

710
00:32:41,240 --> 00:32:43,280
Speaker 1: I know you've been writing about this and what the

711
00:32:43,360 --> 00:32:45,320
Speaker 1: role is of Europe in that, but also, as you

712
00:32:45,360 --> 00:32:47,880
Speaker 1: just mentioned, what does it mean in Israel? Do you

713
00:32:48,040 --> 00:32:51,360
Speaker 1: believe that that piece through strength concept will apply? What

714
00:32:51,400 --> 00:32:54,160
Speaker 1: would you expect to see in the early stages of

715
00:32:54,200 --> 00:32:57,160
Speaker 1: a Trump foreign policy administration as it pertains to those issues.

716
00:32:57,160 --> 00:32:59,520
Speaker 9: Well, look, I don't speak for the campaign just to emphasize,

717
00:32:59,560 --> 00:33:01,800
Speaker 9: but I think and Trump's been very clear that he's

718
00:33:01,800 --> 00:33:04,480
Speaker 9: going to try to make peace, and I fully support that. Obviously,

719
00:33:04,520 --> 00:33:06,280
Speaker 9: there's the Ukrainians are going to have to be armed,

720
00:33:06,280 --> 00:33:07,960
Speaker 9: and I think that's totally right. But as he said

721
00:33:07,960 --> 00:33:09,640
Speaker 9: in his true social posts, and as Senor Vance has

722
00:33:09,640 --> 00:33:11,400
Speaker 9: said repeatedly, that's got to be on the Europeans.

723
00:33:11,400 --> 00:33:12,040
Speaker 1: That makes sense.

724
00:33:12,240 --> 00:33:15,200
Speaker 9: We don't have, like you know, endless amounts of weapons

725
00:33:15,240 --> 00:33:16,920
Speaker 9: and money to give away. We got to focus on China.

726
00:33:17,360 --> 00:33:19,160
Speaker 9: So I think that's a reasonable basis. And I was

727
00:33:19,160 --> 00:33:21,600
Speaker 9: actually just telling a bunch of German you know, politicians

728
00:33:21,640 --> 00:33:24,880
Speaker 9: and elite types earlier today and over the last couple

729
00:33:24,920 --> 00:33:25,240
Speaker 9: of days.

730
00:33:25,280 --> 00:33:26,200
Speaker 1: Look, the message is clear.

731
00:33:26,240 --> 00:33:28,720
Speaker 9: It's what Center Vance said the Munich Security Conference, which

732
00:33:28,800 --> 00:33:31,160
Speaker 9: is you got to step up. Meantime, the German government's

733
00:33:31,160 --> 00:33:35,400
Speaker 9: actually cutting Ukraine AID, it's not fulfilling its own defense obligations.

734
00:33:36,080 --> 00:33:38,520
Speaker 9: It's clear as day that the only way this alligance

735
00:33:38,560 --> 00:33:40,600
Speaker 9: system is going to survive. If you want a strong

736
00:33:40,640 --> 00:33:43,000
Speaker 9: America is for our allies to step up. And that's

737
00:33:43,000 --> 00:33:45,360
Speaker 9: what the Trump Fans Campaign to Meet is saying very clearly.

738
00:33:45,640 --> 00:33:48,800
Speaker 9: If you want to end America's international role, you follow

739
00:33:48,800 --> 00:33:50,680
Speaker 9: the Biden approach, which is going to send us right

740
00:33:50,680 --> 00:33:52,560
Speaker 9: into the Iceberg. I think in the case of Israel,

741
00:33:52,800 --> 00:33:54,240
Speaker 9: we got to back them. I think, as both the

742
00:33:54,280 --> 00:33:56,560
Speaker 9: President and sender Vance have said, we got to back

743
00:33:56,600 --> 00:33:59,040
Speaker 9: them and try to get this situation wrapped up. What

744
00:33:59,080 --> 00:34:01,560
Speaker 9: the Biden people are doing is they put their hands

745
00:34:01,600 --> 00:34:03,760
Speaker 9: into them, always holding them back, always in their business,

746
00:34:03,760 --> 00:34:05,520
Speaker 9: and then not providing the support. I think that's got

747
00:34:05,560 --> 00:34:07,880
Speaker 9: to change. Putting pressure and economic sanctions, et cetera.

748
00:34:07,920 --> 00:34:08,320
Speaker 1: On Iran.

749
00:34:08,400 --> 00:34:11,920
Speaker 3: What does a Trumps success year one with Ukraine look like?

750
00:34:12,120 --> 00:34:12,600
Speaker 1: End state?

751
00:34:12,760 --> 00:34:14,799
Speaker 3: Right, he's said, I'll end it, Okay, what does that

752
00:34:14,840 --> 00:34:15,239
Speaker 3: look like?

753
00:34:15,360 --> 00:34:17,360
Speaker 9: Well, look, I think this is typical President Eisenaw he

754
00:34:17,440 --> 00:34:19,719
Speaker 9: ran fifty two, Nixon, sixty eight, Reagan and eighty. You

755
00:34:20,040 --> 00:34:22,080
Speaker 9: don't tell exactly what your playbook is. I think we

756
00:34:22,120 --> 00:34:24,120
Speaker 9: know what the goal is. You know, we're not expecting

757
00:34:24,160 --> 00:34:26,320
Speaker 9: peace on Earth flowers popping up over the but I

758
00:34:26,320 --> 00:34:27,560
Speaker 9: think it would be great if you could get to

759
00:34:27,600 --> 00:34:30,560
Speaker 9: at least a cease fire or something like it. Again,

760
00:34:30,600 --> 00:34:32,160
Speaker 9: I don't know what he's got, exactly what he's going

761
00:34:32,239 --> 00:34:32,440
Speaker 9: to want.

762
00:34:32,640 --> 00:34:34,920
Speaker 3: You think, what do you think a success would look like?

763
00:34:35,040 --> 00:34:38,239
Speaker 9: Well, I think a success where Ukraine is basically well armed,

764
00:34:38,280 --> 00:34:41,399
Speaker 9: can defend itself. I think what President Trump and sender

765
00:34:41,440 --> 00:34:42,799
Speaker 9: Vans have been saying, is we got to base this

766
00:34:42,840 --> 00:34:45,600
Speaker 9: on reality, and you can't say, oh, the Russians are

767
00:34:45,600 --> 00:34:48,640
Speaker 9: going to disappear, Ukraine's going to get you know, crimea back,

768
00:34:48,680 --> 00:34:51,640
Speaker 9: et cetera. That kind of like wishful thinking combined with

769
00:34:51,680 --> 00:34:53,600
Speaker 9: weakness is how we got to this praise. And I

770
00:34:53,600 --> 00:34:56,200
Speaker 9: would say, frankly, another thing is avoiding World War three,

771
00:34:56,200 --> 00:34:58,440
Speaker 9: because I think on this President Trump's right to emphasize this.

772
00:34:58,719 --> 00:35:01,080
Speaker 9: The Chinese are preparing for war. If we can get

773
00:35:01,160 --> 00:35:03,360
Speaker 9: peace in the next year, that would be pretty awesome.

774
00:35:03,560 --> 00:35:06,080
Speaker 1: What's the appropriate response for what's going on as you

775
00:35:06,160 --> 00:35:09,840
Speaker 1: just mentioned with China and potentially Taiwan if Trump is

776
00:35:09,880 --> 00:35:12,200
Speaker 1: in office, ye come January. Well, look, I think President

777
00:35:12,239 --> 00:35:14,080
Speaker 1: Trump was right in Bloomberg to say this is a

778
00:35:14,080 --> 00:35:15,840
Speaker 1: really tough problem. I mean, I think, and this is

779
00:35:15,880 --> 00:35:18,120
Speaker 1: something I've been trying to communicate to the Taiwanese. They've

780
00:35:18,120 --> 00:35:20,240
Speaker 1: got to take their self defense more seriously. They're spending

781
00:35:20,280 --> 00:35:22,520
Speaker 1: less than three percent. They got to spend ten percent,

782
00:35:22,560 --> 00:35:24,759
Speaker 1: and we should have been focusing our resources, as Senator

783
00:35:24,880 --> 00:35:27,719
Speaker 1: Vance has been saying. Ultimately that's a presidential decision, but

784
00:35:27,800 --> 00:35:30,120
Speaker 1: I think it's the obligation of our security establishment and

785
00:35:30,160 --> 00:35:33,080
Speaker 1: Taiwan to give us the best basis as possible. I

786
00:35:33,080 --> 00:35:35,080
Speaker 1: think it's a two track approach, which is real peace

787
00:35:35,080 --> 00:35:38,160
Speaker 1: through strength. It's strength focusing our resources and our industrial

788
00:35:38,200 --> 00:35:41,279
Speaker 1: capability on China so they see the shield, but at

789
00:35:41,280 --> 00:35:43,200
Speaker 1: the same time an openness to a modus vendi. And

790
00:35:43,239 --> 00:35:45,640
Speaker 1: when I hear President Trump saying I'm open to talks

791
00:35:45,760 --> 00:35:48,080
Speaker 1: with Cijenping, a lot of people criticize, and I'm saying, hey,

792
00:35:48,200 --> 00:35:49,840
Speaker 1: we want to avoid a war. We got to be

793
00:35:50,080 --> 00:35:52,640
Speaker 1: played both sides of this toughness but also an openness

794
00:35:52,680 --> 00:35:53,600
Speaker 1: to avoid World War three.

795
00:35:53,880 --> 00:35:55,600
Speaker 3: Bridge. Where can folks go to follow the rest of
