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

2
00:00:03,360 --> 00:00:06,720
Speaker 1: Sexton Show podcast. Welcome back in third hour of Clay

3
00:00:06,720 --> 00:00:09,760
Speaker 1: and Buck starts right now everybody across the country. It

4
00:00:09,880 --> 00:00:13,000
Speaker 1: is the day after election day, as you all know,

5
00:00:13,680 --> 00:00:15,760
Speaker 1: and even over the course of this show, we've been

6
00:00:15,760 --> 00:00:22,000
Speaker 1: getting more results, more data, more anecdotes, information to analyze

7
00:00:22,000 --> 00:00:26,360
Speaker 1: exactly what happened last night. It was, in brief not

8
00:00:26,480 --> 00:00:29,840
Speaker 1: quite the red wave that we had hoped. It may

9
00:00:29,960 --> 00:00:33,559
Speaker 1: still be a very good night for the GOP. It

10
00:00:33,720 --> 00:00:36,880
Speaker 1: is likely to be a pretty good night for the GOP,

11
00:00:37,040 --> 00:00:38,760
Speaker 1: and there is an off chance that it actually turns

12
00:00:38,760 --> 00:00:40,680
Speaker 1: out to be a pretty darn bad night for the GOP.

13
00:00:41,159 --> 00:00:44,920
Speaker 1: We don't know. We don't know yet for sure that

14
00:00:44,960 --> 00:00:48,839
Speaker 1: the GOP will have a House majority. We think that's

15
00:00:48,920 --> 00:00:52,080
Speaker 1: very likely right now two hundred and three Republican seats

16
00:00:52,080 --> 00:00:54,640
Speaker 1: against one hundred and seventy six Democrat seats, with many

17
00:00:54,720 --> 00:01:00,120
Speaker 1: many still being counted. And in the Senate side, it

18
00:01:00,200 --> 00:01:04,360
Speaker 1: is forty eight forty eight, gonna be raizer thin, gonna

19
00:01:04,440 --> 00:01:08,160
Speaker 1: end up in fifty fifty or fifty one forty nine,

20
00:01:08,200 --> 00:01:12,119
Speaker 1: We just don't know. Over the course of this show,

21
00:01:12,160 --> 00:01:13,840
Speaker 1: the three hours of the show. We've been getting more

22
00:01:13,920 --> 00:01:19,200
Speaker 1: information in about Carrie Lake's race for governor in Arizona.

23
00:01:19,400 --> 00:01:22,520
Speaker 1: She is putting out now she never lacks for confidence,

24
00:01:22,560 --> 00:01:26,600
Speaker 1: but she is putting out some strong statements of a

25
00:01:26,720 --> 00:01:30,480
Speaker 1: win coming her way. For the governor's race in Arizona.

26
00:01:30,640 --> 00:01:35,920
Speaker 1: Blake Masters apparently still in it. It's looking like a

27
00:01:35,959 --> 00:01:40,279
Speaker 1: steep climb, but still in it in Arizona. We've also

28
00:01:40,680 --> 00:01:45,880
Speaker 1: got the race still outstanding in Nevada with Cortes Mastow

29
00:01:46,080 --> 00:01:50,520
Speaker 1: and Republican Adam Laxalt. Masters and Laxalt the two Republicans

30
00:01:50,600 --> 00:01:53,600
Speaker 1: involved here we have had on the show many times,

31
00:01:53,960 --> 00:02:00,560
Speaker 1: and Laxalt looking pretty good. Georgia heading to a runoff

32
00:02:01,360 --> 00:02:04,920
Speaker 1: which is going to be quite a throwdown regardless, and

33
00:02:04,960 --> 00:02:09,520
Speaker 1: if it turns out that the Senate control turns on

34
00:02:09,639 --> 00:02:13,480
Speaker 1: that race, it will be well, it'll be an amazing

35
00:02:13,560 --> 00:02:17,440
Speaker 1: replay of what we saw in twenty twenty where Georgia

36
00:02:17,680 --> 00:02:21,680
Speaker 1: Senate seats, two of them determined control of the Senate.

37
00:02:21,760 --> 00:02:24,720
Speaker 1: So there's a lot that is still out there to

38
00:02:24,880 --> 00:02:29,080
Speaker 1: be determined. You had some better than expect or well,

39
00:02:29,560 --> 00:02:33,839
Speaker 1: you had some good results and congressional races in New

40
00:02:33,960 --> 00:02:37,880
Speaker 1: York didn't get the New York Governor's mansion. Unfortunately, you

41
00:02:37,960 --> 00:02:42,079
Speaker 1: had some amazing results in Florida. So if you if

42
00:02:42,080 --> 00:02:44,520
Speaker 1: you want to do a happy dance today, you are

43
00:02:44,639 --> 00:02:48,600
Speaker 1: more than safe to say that Governor Ron de Santis

44
00:02:48,800 --> 00:02:53,839
Speaker 1: managed to throw five touchdowns and play defense, get three

45
00:02:53,880 --> 00:02:56,800
Speaker 1: picks Clay and ran up into the stands after the

46
00:02:56,840 --> 00:03:00,920
Speaker 1: game and you know, hugged the life and kids and

47
00:03:00,960 --> 00:03:03,480
Speaker 1: said that, you know, he's just doing it for America.

48
00:03:03,520 --> 00:03:06,400
Speaker 1: I mean, it was an amazing performance in Florida last night.

49
00:03:06,880 --> 00:03:09,200
Speaker 1: So let me five touchdowns is a lot. Five touchdowns

50
00:03:09,200 --> 00:03:10,480
Speaker 1: will be a lot. That we got the red suit.

51
00:03:10,520 --> 00:03:12,240
Speaker 1: The easy way to describe it as we got the

52
00:03:12,280 --> 00:03:16,760
Speaker 1: red tsunami we were expecting nationwide in Florida. Florida, I

53
00:03:16,800 --> 00:03:20,120
Speaker 1: would say, buck is the only state and we expected

54
00:03:20,120 --> 00:03:23,560
Speaker 1: it to be good. De Santis won by twenty So

55
00:03:24,040 --> 00:03:27,639
Speaker 1: DeSantis and the Florida Republican Party all the way down

56
00:03:27,639 --> 00:03:32,919
Speaker 1: the ticket vastly outperformed expectations, and expectations were really good.

57
00:03:33,520 --> 00:03:38,000
Speaker 1: New York a little bit maybe above expectations. Otherwise, we

58
00:03:38,120 --> 00:03:41,400
Speaker 1: didn't get that red tsunami. And early on last night

59
00:03:41,440 --> 00:03:44,080
Speaker 1: we were having our party, we were celebratory because we

60
00:03:44,120 --> 00:03:46,160
Speaker 1: saw the numbers from Florida and we were talking with

61
00:03:46,160 --> 00:03:49,040
Speaker 1: people yesterday, Hey, these numbers from Florida are great, and

62
00:03:49,160 --> 00:03:53,240
Speaker 1: for whatever reason they did, it translate across the rest

63
00:03:53,360 --> 00:03:56,880
Speaker 1: of the country and basically the numbers that jump out

64
00:03:56,920 --> 00:03:59,040
Speaker 1: to me buck Seventy five percent of people are unhappy

65
00:03:59,560 --> 00:04:03,000
Speaker 1: of the os according to exit polls, and yet every

66
00:04:03,120 --> 00:04:08,880
Speaker 1: single incumbent pretty much one reelection, which is that how

67
00:04:09,040 --> 00:04:13,760
Speaker 1: if you're angry, usually incumbents lose instead buy and large

68
00:04:14,160 --> 00:04:17,600
Speaker 1: even the places where like John Fetterman's disastrous win that

69
00:04:17,680 --> 00:04:20,880
Speaker 1: was not against a Republican incumbent, that was an open seat,

70
00:04:21,440 --> 00:04:25,400
Speaker 1: so it was a status quo election, even though the

71
00:04:25,440 --> 00:04:28,200
Speaker 1: electorate is furious about what's going on in the country.

72
00:04:29,040 --> 00:04:33,520
Speaker 1: It's remarkable when you think about how the polling was.

73
00:04:33,640 --> 00:04:40,120
Speaker 1: As we've said, off the numbers indicated something happening elsewhere,

74
00:04:40,480 --> 00:04:44,080
Speaker 1: Florida dramatically overperformed. I mean it sounded bold. I said

75
00:04:44,160 --> 00:04:46,280
Speaker 1: double digit win for Ron de Santists have been saying

76
00:04:46,320 --> 00:04:47,960
Speaker 1: that for a month. You said double digit win for

77
00:04:48,040 --> 00:04:50,560
Speaker 1: Ron de Santists, which, given that he won by less

78
00:04:50,560 --> 00:04:53,120
Speaker 1: than one percentage point in twenty eighteen, seemed like, whoa,

79
00:04:53,200 --> 00:04:56,920
Speaker 1: we're really we're really calling a deep shot here, We're

80
00:04:56,920 --> 00:05:00,160
Speaker 1: calling a long bomb into the end zone. And sure

81
00:05:00,240 --> 00:05:02,960
Speaker 1: enough he doubled that number, which is completely just mind

82
00:05:02,960 --> 00:05:05,840
Speaker 1: blowing still although totally deserved. I want to add, I mean,

83
00:05:07,240 --> 00:05:10,840
Speaker 1: here's here's the problem that I'm having clicked. Florida makes sense.

84
00:05:11,600 --> 00:05:14,400
Speaker 1: You see what happened in Florida, and you say, and

85
00:05:14,680 --> 00:05:18,320
Speaker 1: any any lubricalis I understand why runners because he was

86
00:05:18,400 --> 00:05:20,800
Speaker 1: right about everything, because people are flocking to Florida, and

87
00:05:20,800 --> 00:05:24,400
Speaker 1: because the states in great shape financially, the states in

88
00:05:24,440 --> 00:05:29,239
Speaker 1: great shape of you know, politically, all this scamically economic everything.

89
00:05:29,400 --> 00:05:33,120
Speaker 1: And Rohn de Santists after the the hurricane that really

90
00:05:33,240 --> 00:05:37,919
Speaker 1: hit the Fort Myers area, did an exceptional job. Strong leadership,

91
00:05:38,080 --> 00:05:40,440
Speaker 1: got it done. I mean, just put on a clinic

92
00:05:40,480 --> 00:05:44,719
Speaker 1: for disaster relief for other politicians to see how it's done.

93
00:05:45,160 --> 00:05:48,000
Speaker 1: So Florida makes sense. You look at these the one

94
00:05:48,000 --> 00:05:50,640
Speaker 1: obviously that we keep coming back to his Fetterman, and

95
00:05:50,640 --> 00:05:52,560
Speaker 1: we said, but you know, we're talking to people about this,

96
00:05:52,560 --> 00:05:55,320
Speaker 1: trying to say what's going on here with Fetterman. You

97
00:05:55,360 --> 00:05:59,760
Speaker 1: get the Bernie voters, you get the mainstream Democrat or

98
00:06:00,200 --> 00:06:04,120
Speaker 1: base Democrat base voters who will vote Democrat no matter what.

99
00:06:04,560 --> 00:06:07,200
Speaker 1: You know, Remember when Tucker did his thing about how

100
00:06:07,240 --> 00:06:10,440
Speaker 1: the Democrats were like worshiping sixteen year old at the time,

101
00:06:10,480 --> 00:06:12,919
Speaker 1: Greta Thunberg on climate change. It was it was bizarre

102
00:06:13,320 --> 00:06:15,760
Speaker 1: CNN hosts. I mean, I was saying this at the time. Actually,

103
00:06:15,760 --> 00:06:17,920
Speaker 1: some conservatives like you could criticize her. I'm like, I'm

104
00:06:17,920 --> 00:06:21,760
Speaker 1: not criticizing the sixteen year old climate change maniac. I'm

105
00:06:21,760 --> 00:06:23,880
Speaker 1: criticizing the adults who think that she has anything to

106
00:06:23,880 --> 00:06:26,520
Speaker 1: say that anyone should listen to. You get the sense that,

107
00:06:26,640 --> 00:06:29,320
Speaker 1: you know, if she could run in Pennsylvania, they'd vote

108
00:06:29,320 --> 00:06:31,400
Speaker 1: for it. They don't care. The Libs don't care the

109
00:06:31,520 --> 00:06:34,200
Speaker 1: vote for anyone. But he brings in the uh, the

110
00:06:34,480 --> 00:06:40,080
Speaker 1: white working class Democrat Bernie voters. Oz was obviously, you know, flawed.

111
00:06:40,240 --> 00:06:41,880
Speaker 1: He's a smart guy, he's a nice guy. We liked

112
00:06:41,920 --> 00:06:45,160
Speaker 1: doctor flawed candidate. Obviously we knew that going into it.

113
00:06:46,360 --> 00:06:48,400
Speaker 1: But the fact that John Fetterman is going to be

114
00:06:49,040 --> 00:06:53,160
Speaker 1: a United States Senator, that takes that takes him doing

115
00:06:53,200 --> 00:06:55,120
Speaker 1: to get your your your mind wrapped around that one.

116
00:06:55,160 --> 00:06:59,600
Speaker 1: I think that's where you know, it just is one

117
00:06:59,640 --> 00:07:01,200
Speaker 1: of these situations where we knew it was going to

118
00:07:01,240 --> 00:07:03,520
Speaker 1: be super tightert a bunch of these places, but so

119
00:07:03,560 --> 00:07:07,480
Speaker 1: far in those super tight races, we haven't seen it

120
00:07:07,920 --> 00:07:11,720
Speaker 1: go read. You know what is the razor thin race

121
00:07:12,280 --> 00:07:15,720
Speaker 1: that we've seen Ron Johnson and Wisconsin. Now that went

122
00:07:15,760 --> 00:07:18,160
Speaker 1: our way, but Ron john was supposed to win by

123
00:07:18,200 --> 00:07:20,800
Speaker 1: like six points, So that's tough to get too excited about.

124
00:07:20,840 --> 00:07:24,400
Speaker 1: In the battlegrounds, we haven't felt like we've gotten a

125
00:07:24,400 --> 00:07:27,600
Speaker 1: big battleground win. I think that's what So, as you said,

126
00:07:27,800 --> 00:07:31,520
Speaker 1: it's like the incumbency protection program was running yesterday. Yeah,

127
00:07:31,520 --> 00:07:34,720
Speaker 1: And it's the conflict between everybody being angry at the

128
00:07:34,760 --> 00:07:38,080
Speaker 1: way the country is going and then simultaneously saying, but

129
00:07:38,120 --> 00:07:40,440
Speaker 1: we want everybody who's made us angry to stay in

130
00:07:40,480 --> 00:07:43,720
Speaker 1: power doesn't make sense. It's the trench warfare dynamic, which

131
00:07:43,800 --> 00:07:46,720
Speaker 1: is I think people are just unwilling to abandon who

132
00:07:46,720 --> 00:07:50,559
Speaker 1: they've already voted for in the past. Democrats Republicans lined

133
00:07:50,640 --> 00:07:53,480
Speaker 1: up in the trenches looking at each other, and essentially

134
00:07:53,520 --> 00:07:55,760
Speaker 1: we're in a fifty fifty country where the line does

135
00:07:55,800 --> 00:07:59,320
Speaker 1: not move very aggressively one direction or another. Now, as

136
00:07:59,360 --> 00:08:00,960
Speaker 1: you and I have been saying during the course of

137
00:08:00,960 --> 00:08:03,480
Speaker 1: the show, we still don't know the final results in

138
00:08:03,520 --> 00:08:08,880
Speaker 1: Nevada and Arizona. Carry Lake and Blake Masters have both said, hey,

139
00:08:09,360 --> 00:08:12,440
Speaker 1: we're going to win this race, Okay, just putting it

140
00:08:12,440 --> 00:08:16,520
Speaker 1: out there. If that were to happen, then our analysis

141
00:08:16,600 --> 00:08:20,520
Speaker 1: changes pretty substantially. If Adam Laxall were to hang on

142
00:08:20,720 --> 00:08:24,600
Speaker 1: in Nevada, he's up three points I think right now, Well,

143
00:08:24,640 --> 00:08:27,920
Speaker 1: then Republicans win the Senate, and if we hang on

144
00:08:28,000 --> 00:08:30,400
Speaker 1: in the House, then we say, hey, the goal of

145
00:08:30,400 --> 00:08:33,640
Speaker 1: this election was to win the Senate and the House,

146
00:08:34,040 --> 00:08:36,600
Speaker 1: and if we managed to do that, then even though

147
00:08:36,640 --> 00:08:39,800
Speaker 1: it may take several days for that to come into reality,

148
00:08:40,240 --> 00:08:43,880
Speaker 1: this was a successful election. Flip side as aw right,

149
00:08:43,880 --> 00:08:47,160
Speaker 1: We got to keep that in mind. Flip side. If

150
00:08:47,320 --> 00:08:50,679
Speaker 1: we ended up losing Nevada and Arizona and then Herschel

151
00:08:50,760 --> 00:08:56,400
Speaker 1: loses his runoff, then you're talking about losing outright control

152
00:08:56,559 --> 00:08:59,560
Speaker 1: of the Senate and the House is still right there

153
00:08:59,600 --> 00:09:02,199
Speaker 1: on the razor's edge between how many seats are there

154
00:09:02,200 --> 00:09:04,440
Speaker 1: going to be? We feel good. We talked to Congressman

155
00:09:04,480 --> 00:09:06,840
Speaker 1: Jim Jordan the last hour, but he didn't come on

156
00:09:06,920 --> 00:09:09,040
Speaker 1: and say this is one hundred percent died in the wool.

157
00:09:09,120 --> 00:09:11,360
Speaker 1: We've got this done. There's still a lot of races

158
00:09:11,360 --> 00:09:15,920
Speaker 1: out there to be called, and we're probably gonna have five, six, seven,

159
00:09:16,040 --> 00:09:18,920
Speaker 1: eight seat majority when all is said and done, and

160
00:09:18,960 --> 00:09:22,360
Speaker 1: so it's going to be super tight. But you can

161
00:09:22,400 --> 00:09:25,160
Speaker 1: go from A minus hey, a little bit frustrating on

162
00:09:25,240 --> 00:09:27,320
Speaker 1: election night, but we won the Senate and we won

163
00:09:27,360 --> 00:09:31,800
Speaker 1: the House two d minus. Hey, we lost the House

164
00:09:32,320 --> 00:09:35,800
Speaker 1: and we lost the Senate, and Joe Biden's a disaster

165
00:09:35,920 --> 00:09:38,480
Speaker 1: and we weren't able to capitalize on that, which is

166
00:09:38,480 --> 00:09:41,040
Speaker 1: why I said to me, the biggest winner of the

167
00:09:41,160 --> 00:09:44,959
Speaker 1: night on the Republican side is Ron de Santis. Clearly,

168
00:09:45,000 --> 00:09:48,280
Speaker 1: I mean that's saying it's Ron de santus this world

169
00:09:48,360 --> 00:09:50,240
Speaker 1: right now and everybody else is living in it. Biggest

170
00:09:50,240 --> 00:09:53,160
Speaker 1: winner for the Democrats, I think, and I already admitted

171
00:09:53,200 --> 00:09:54,640
Speaker 1: that I was wrong on this in the top of

172
00:09:54,640 --> 00:09:57,800
Speaker 1: the second hour. Joe Biden He's gonna be the nominee

173
00:09:57,800 --> 00:09:59,679
Speaker 1: in twenty four because I looked at it, I look

174
00:09:59,720 --> 00:10:03,960
Speaker 1: at the data. They dragged John Fetterman across the finish line.

175
00:10:04,080 --> 00:10:07,360
Speaker 1: They're gonna run weekend at Bernie's two with Joe Biden,

176
00:10:07,720 --> 00:10:10,400
Speaker 1: and so I think if you're a strategic thinker and

177
00:10:10,520 --> 00:10:13,040
Speaker 1: you are a Republican right now, you want to wait

178
00:10:13,080 --> 00:10:15,040
Speaker 1: and see, and certainly we're going to fight hard for

179
00:10:15,080 --> 00:10:19,240
Speaker 1: the Herschel Raphael Warnock runoff. I was at Herschel's final rally.

180
00:10:19,280 --> 00:10:22,960
Speaker 1: I want him desperately to win that race. But I

181
00:10:22,960 --> 00:10:25,920
Speaker 1: think you start to think ahead to twenty four and say,

182
00:10:26,480 --> 00:10:29,640
Speaker 1: what can Republicans do to break out of the trench

183
00:10:29,679 --> 00:10:32,719
Speaker 1: warfare that we're in right now. Absolutely a big part

184
00:10:32,720 --> 00:10:34,680
Speaker 1: of it, I think is going to be having a message,

185
00:10:34,679 --> 00:10:41,040
Speaker 1: a message of positive problem fixing and a future for

186
00:10:41,080 --> 00:10:43,400
Speaker 1: the country. That's look, if things were going really well

187
00:10:43,400 --> 00:10:45,559
Speaker 1: in twenty eighteen and twenty nineteen we got hit with COVID.

188
00:10:45,640 --> 00:10:48,760
Speaker 1: We remember, the economy was booming under Trump, a lot

189
00:10:48,840 --> 00:10:51,599
Speaker 1: of things from a governance level, we're moving in the

190
00:10:51,720 --> 00:10:54,560
Speaker 1: right direction, and I think that bringing back a sense

191
00:10:54,640 --> 00:10:59,560
Speaker 1: of optimism there I say, a Reaganesque optimism, you know

192
00:10:59,720 --> 00:11:02,959
Speaker 1: that morning in America. I think we need more of

193
00:11:03,000 --> 00:11:05,640
Speaker 1: that going forward because there are a lot of people

194
00:11:05,679 --> 00:11:08,880
Speaker 1: I think it is within the Democrat mindset to wallow

195
00:11:09,520 --> 00:11:13,240
Speaker 1: gladly in their misery. I think you see this with

196
00:11:13,280 --> 00:11:15,240
Speaker 1: people who live in Portland and people who live in

197
00:11:15,240 --> 00:11:17,120
Speaker 1: New York, and people who live in Chicago, and people

198
00:11:17,120 --> 00:11:21,120
Speaker 1: who live in these places that keep voting Democrat. They're

199
00:11:21,160 --> 00:11:25,360
Speaker 1: just they're happy, being miserable, unsafe, and deally. They want

200
00:11:25,400 --> 00:11:27,680
Speaker 1: to be told what to do. They liked being told

201
00:11:27,720 --> 00:11:31,320
Speaker 1: the double mask. They don't care. They're homeless people you

202
00:11:31,360 --> 00:11:34,480
Speaker 1: know that are doing fentonel and broad daylight in front

203
00:11:34,480 --> 00:11:36,840
Speaker 1: of children and old ladies are being attacked in the

204
00:11:36,880 --> 00:11:41,160
Speaker 1: streets because you know, social justice or whatever. They're okay

205
00:11:41,200 --> 00:11:43,480
Speaker 1: with all that. We have to get beyond that. We

206
00:11:43,520 --> 00:11:46,800
Speaker 1: have to have a broader and more positive message, and

207
00:11:46,840 --> 00:11:50,199
Speaker 1: I do think it is doable. And you know, when

208
00:11:50,240 --> 00:11:52,480
Speaker 1: you look at any of the big takeaways, I think

209
00:11:52,480 --> 00:11:55,079
Speaker 1: for the GOP from last night, such as they are

210
00:11:55,160 --> 00:11:59,480
Speaker 1: right now, for us, we're if it's going to be

211
00:11:59,559 --> 00:12:02,080
Speaker 1: a supert election in twenty twenty four, no matter what ever.

212
00:12:02,200 --> 00:12:04,800
Speaker 1: Needs Again, there is no there's no massive wave, there

213
00:12:04,920 --> 00:12:08,600
Speaker 1: is no win of you know, states that are deep

214
00:12:08,679 --> 00:12:13,040
Speaker 1: deep blue. We have to understand that you're running a

215
00:12:13,080 --> 00:12:16,160
Speaker 1: state by state competition for the presidency and obviously for

216
00:12:16,200 --> 00:12:19,040
Speaker 1: different congressional and Senate seats that is going to be

217
00:12:19,040 --> 00:12:21,960
Speaker 1: one on the margins these some of these races, how

218
00:12:22,040 --> 00:12:23,640
Speaker 1: much are they actually going to be determined by? As

219
00:12:23,679 --> 00:12:27,120
Speaker 1: we said, you're looking at thousands of votes, thousands of

220
00:12:27,200 --> 00:12:29,920
Speaker 1: votes play in place, millions cast. No, you're exactly right,

221
00:12:30,160 --> 00:12:33,360
Speaker 1: and it's going to happen in Nevada, Arizona, and Georgia,

222
00:12:33,400 --> 00:12:36,040
Speaker 1: where we still don't know the full result of the

223
00:12:36,080 --> 00:12:38,800
Speaker 1: Senate it's going to be decided by just a few

224
00:12:38,800 --> 00:12:42,360
Speaker 1: thousand votes. That's where we are. Yeah, fingers crossed. It's

225
00:12:42,400 --> 00:12:45,360
Speaker 1: like the Pacino speech from every given Sunday, fight for

226
00:12:45,480 --> 00:12:50,000
Speaker 1: every inch. You gotta fight for every inch frience. Look,

227
00:12:50,080 --> 00:12:52,640
Speaker 1: one thing that was a big issue in this election

228
00:12:52,679 --> 00:12:57,400
Speaker 1: as well was the reality of how abortion is now

229
00:12:58,000 --> 00:13:00,719
Speaker 1: something that is being pushed more than more than ever

230
00:13:00,760 --> 00:13:01,960
Speaker 1: before in a lot of ways in some of these

231
00:13:02,000 --> 00:13:04,240
Speaker 1: Democrats states. You see what they're doing. California, it's an

232
00:13:04,240 --> 00:13:07,160
Speaker 1: abortion sanctuary state. They're going to use taxpayer dollars to

233
00:13:07,200 --> 00:13:09,439
Speaker 1: pay for people's abortions to fly them into the state

234
00:13:09,640 --> 00:13:13,720
Speaker 1: because that's how that's how much they want this. It's evil,

235
00:13:13,920 --> 00:13:17,800
Speaker 1: it's wrong, what's going on. This is something that we

236
00:13:17,880 --> 00:13:20,600
Speaker 1: have to do everything we can to counteract. With each

237
00:13:20,600 --> 00:13:23,800
Speaker 1: and every day. The pro life community has to act now.

238
00:13:24,080 --> 00:13:26,440
Speaker 1: Yes we're working through the political process, Yes we're trying

239
00:13:26,440 --> 00:13:29,120
Speaker 1: to educate the public. But you can save lives by

240
00:13:29,160 --> 00:13:34,080
Speaker 1: pushing pregnant women in the direction of life. By introducing

241
00:13:34,120 --> 00:13:36,880
Speaker 1: them to their unborn baby. You're just showing them what

242
00:13:37,000 --> 00:13:40,880
Speaker 1: is there. You're just helping them. With the Preborn pregnancy clinics,

243
00:13:41,120 --> 00:13:45,080
Speaker 1: they help rescue preborn babies. They began their nonprofit mission

244
00:13:45,320 --> 00:13:49,200
Speaker 1: sixteen years ago and they have rescued hundreds of thousands

245
00:13:49,200 --> 00:13:52,000
Speaker 1: of babies lives. This is what Preborn does. They introduce

246
00:13:52,040 --> 00:13:55,240
Speaker 1: expectant moms in crisis to their babies through ultrasound. When

247
00:13:55,280 --> 00:13:58,280
Speaker 1: that mother sees the precious baby she has inside of her,

248
00:13:58,600 --> 00:14:02,600
Speaker 1: here's that heartbeat, that heartbeat that says I'm alive. The

249
00:14:02,679 --> 00:14:06,240
Speaker 1: majority of the time, that mother will choose life. You

250
00:14:06,280 --> 00:14:10,640
Speaker 1: can literally help Preborn save lives. Well, you join me

251
00:14:10,640 --> 00:14:13,440
Speaker 1: in supporting them with a donation. One ultrasound is just

252
00:14:13,480 --> 00:14:16,800
Speaker 1: twenty eight dollars, or you can sponsor five ultrasounds for

253
00:14:16,840 --> 00:14:19,960
Speaker 1: one hundred and forty dollars. Every dollar you donate today

254
00:14:19,960 --> 00:14:22,560
Speaker 1: will be matched, So your twenty eight dollars donation is

255
00:14:22,600 --> 00:14:25,960
Speaker 1: really fifty six dollars and this is a tax deductible

256
00:14:26,000 --> 00:14:29,440
Speaker 1: gift too, that goes to operate preborn clinics around the nation.

257
00:14:29,960 --> 00:14:33,800
Speaker 1: To donate securely, dial pound two fifty and say the

258
00:14:33,920 --> 00:14:38,280
Speaker 1: keyword baby. That's pound two five zero, say the word baby.

259
00:14:38,520 --> 00:14:40,880
Speaker 1: Or if you want to donate online like I have,

260
00:14:41,240 --> 00:14:45,400
Speaker 1: go to preborn dot com slash buck. That's preborn dot

261
00:14:45,400 --> 00:14:48,760
Speaker 1: com slash buck. Thank you to the pro life community

262
00:14:48,760 --> 00:14:53,480
Speaker 1: out there. Let's act together. Welcome back in Klait Ravis

263
00:14:53,560 --> 00:14:57,320
Speaker 1: Buck Sexton show. As we await the final numbers from

264
00:14:57,440 --> 00:15:03,080
Speaker 1: Nevada and Arizona, both governor races and Senate races. Marco Rubio,

265
00:15:03,560 --> 00:15:07,440
Speaker 1: reelected senator from the Great State of Florida, just tweeted

266
00:15:07,480 --> 00:15:12,160
Speaker 1: a really fantastic question. If Florida can count seven point

267
00:15:12,200 --> 00:15:16,360
Speaker 1: five million ballots in five hours, how can it take

268
00:15:16,480 --> 00:15:21,520
Speaker 1: days for some states to count less than two million votes?

269
00:15:22,280 --> 00:15:24,800
Speaker 1: So fantastic question, Buck, and you and I started talking

270
00:15:24,840 --> 00:15:27,280
Speaker 1: about this before, and certainly it's been a topic of

271
00:15:27,320 --> 00:15:31,000
Speaker 1: conversation for a long time. I don't understand how every

272
00:15:31,160 --> 00:15:34,920
Speaker 1: state does not just adopt the same policies that Florida

273
00:15:35,000 --> 00:15:40,280
Speaker 1: did to allow the appearance of impropriety at a minimum

274
00:15:40,320 --> 00:15:43,200
Speaker 1: to vanish right, because if you come out and say,

275
00:15:43,240 --> 00:15:46,280
Speaker 1: five hours after the elections, over, hey, here are all

276
00:15:46,280 --> 00:15:49,360
Speaker 1: the results. It's a lot harder to believe that there's

277
00:15:49,400 --> 00:15:52,720
Speaker 1: funny business going on then if you sit around and

278
00:15:53,000 --> 00:15:55,840
Speaker 1: spend all that time like it's going to happen right

279
00:15:55,840 --> 00:15:59,080
Speaker 1: now with Nevada and Arizona unable to give us the

280
00:15:59,160 --> 00:16:04,200
Speaker 1: results of those elections. It's something that also goes to

281
00:16:04,240 --> 00:16:07,640
Speaker 1: the changes that we're made that everyone needs to be

282
00:16:07,680 --> 00:16:10,520
Speaker 1: aware of. You know this is and you know we're

283
00:16:10,520 --> 00:16:12,760
Speaker 1: gonna have to We're gonna have to have a talk

284
00:16:12,800 --> 00:16:17,200
Speaker 1: inside the family here about what we should take from

285
00:16:17,680 --> 00:16:21,160
Speaker 1: now twenty twenty two and twenty twenty and the elections.

286
00:16:21,600 --> 00:16:25,040
Speaker 1: What's useful and helpful to talk about going forward versus

287
00:16:25,080 --> 00:16:30,480
Speaker 1: what is a distraction or even is a concern that

288
00:16:30,480 --> 00:16:34,800
Speaker 1: that shouldn't be shouldn't be focused on. Let me just

289
00:16:34,840 --> 00:16:37,520
Speaker 1: give you this, the COVID changes that were made in

290
00:16:37,560 --> 00:16:40,680
Speaker 1: twenty twenty. A number of states kept a lot of

291
00:16:40,720 --> 00:16:43,880
Speaker 1: those COVID changes. Well, guess what, everybody, You get more

292
00:16:43,960 --> 00:16:46,840
Speaker 1: mail in balloting, you get more drop boxes, you get

293
00:16:47,240 --> 00:16:52,200
Speaker 1: you know, earlier voting days, you get a whole ballot harvesting,

294
00:16:52,280 --> 00:16:55,720
Speaker 1: which some places make illegal. Other states say, fine, you

295
00:16:55,840 --> 00:16:58,400
Speaker 1: have these changes that have lingered in the in the

296
00:16:58,560 --> 00:17:03,160
Speaker 1: post COVID era because they benefit Democrats. Because Clay, they're

297
00:17:03,200 --> 00:17:05,919
Speaker 1: doing everything they can. This is you know, all I

298
00:17:06,040 --> 00:17:08,280
Speaker 1: worry that some of the oh it's Jim Crow two

299
00:17:08,320 --> 00:17:11,040
Speaker 1: point zero, abiden all that stuff. They said, it's a

300
00:17:11,080 --> 00:17:15,119
Speaker 1: modern Bailey argument, meaning they say this crazy stuff and

301
00:17:15,200 --> 00:17:16,960
Speaker 1: we go, all, that's insane. Who's gonna believe that. Well,

302
00:17:16,960 --> 00:17:19,640
Speaker 1: while we're focused on talking about how it's not Jim

303
00:17:19,640 --> 00:17:22,720
Speaker 1: Crow two point o, which is obviously insane, they're making

304
00:17:22,760 --> 00:17:25,399
Speaker 1: sure that there's more mail in balloting in other states,

305
00:17:25,440 --> 00:17:28,240
Speaker 1: there's more early voting, more you know, don't have to

306
00:17:28,280 --> 00:17:30,560
Speaker 1: match the signature or don't have to check the date.

307
00:17:30,800 --> 00:17:34,720
Speaker 1: Because that all benefits Democrats. They're changing the election processes

308
00:17:34,960 --> 00:17:36,960
Speaker 1: do benefit them. Yeah, And what I would say is,

309
00:17:37,000 --> 00:17:39,879
Speaker 1: look when they fixed everything in Florida. Florida was a

310
00:17:40,200 --> 00:17:44,440
Speaker 1: incredibly tight state. There was very little difference between Democrats

311
00:17:44,440 --> 00:17:47,679
Speaker 1: and Republicans, yet they managed to get that done. Every

312
00:17:47,760 --> 00:17:51,320
Speaker 1: state should copy Florida, who has the most reliable, fastest,

313
00:17:51,320 --> 00:17:54,280
Speaker 1: and best method to count votes anywhere in the country.

314
00:17:54,600 --> 00:17:57,600
Speaker 1: Founding fathers got a ton of things right. Greatest proof

315
00:17:57,800 --> 00:18:00,920
Speaker 1: was on full display yesterday when democracy again so many

316
00:18:00,920 --> 00:18:04,480
Speaker 1: Americans were able to exercise their vote and respected the

317
00:18:04,480 --> 00:18:06,920
Speaker 1: outcomes today. But back in the day, in the mid

318
00:18:06,960 --> 00:18:10,320
Speaker 1: seventeen hundreds, our founding fathers also spent time debating topics

319
00:18:10,320 --> 00:18:13,320
Speaker 1: still relevant today. Writes a citizens immigration policy, how to

320
00:18:13,359 --> 00:18:16,800
Speaker 1: engage with foreign countries. Two professors at Hillsdale right now

321
00:18:16,840 --> 00:18:19,640
Speaker 1: are focusing on all this fall, and like a lot

322
00:18:19,720 --> 00:18:22,359
Speaker 1: of great conversations on the Hillsdale campus, they've made it

332
00:18:51,640 --> 00:18:55,440
Speaker 1: Lay in Buck going strong here, still hopeful that some

333
00:18:55,560 --> 00:18:57,840
Speaker 1: things are going to break our way. With last last

334
00:18:57,920 --> 00:19:02,320
Speaker 1: night's election, and you know it's clay. It's not going

335
00:19:02,359 --> 00:19:07,199
Speaker 1: to be the red wave that of the size that

336
00:19:07,480 --> 00:19:10,000
Speaker 1: would be from the end of point break, remember where

337
00:19:10,040 --> 00:19:14,640
Speaker 1: bodies decides that Keanu Reeves, let's Patrick Swayze, ri ip

338
00:19:15,160 --> 00:19:17,560
Speaker 1: Let's Patrick Swayzy go and it's like a fifty foot

339
00:19:17,560 --> 00:19:20,080
Speaker 1: wave from thee hundred year storm. We were hoping that

340
00:19:20,200 --> 00:19:21,840
Speaker 1: was going to be the size of the wave. But

341
00:19:21,920 --> 00:19:24,439
Speaker 1: this still could be. Oh you know, you know the

342
00:19:24,480 --> 00:19:26,679
Speaker 1: wave that's big enough that some people when they're like

343
00:19:26,760 --> 00:19:29,440
Speaker 1: up to their knees in the water when their body surfing,

344
00:19:29,800 --> 00:19:32,159
Speaker 1: they turn around to run away from it, which is

345
00:19:32,280 --> 00:19:34,000
Speaker 1: very bad idea by the way, you know, but it's

346
00:19:34,080 --> 00:19:35,840
Speaker 1: the way they get a little scared and they see

347
00:19:35,880 --> 00:19:38,480
Speaker 1: that wave coming, they're like, oh, I'm up to my knees,

348
00:19:38,560 --> 00:19:41,360
Speaker 1: I can outrun this wave. Actually saw a guy dislocated

349
00:19:41,359 --> 00:19:43,600
Speaker 1: his shoulder doing that once. You don't want to do that, right, No,

350
00:19:43,760 --> 00:19:46,240
Speaker 1: that's a mess. It could be a wave like that,

351
00:19:46,359 --> 00:19:50,399
Speaker 1: you know, just enough that it depends on what happens

352
00:19:50,400 --> 00:19:52,040
Speaker 1: here at the House in the Senate. As we've been

353
00:19:52,080 --> 00:19:54,560
Speaker 1: looking at this governor's matter. If you'll live in that state,

354
00:19:54,640 --> 00:19:56,600
Speaker 1: let's be honest, it matters if you live in that state.

355
00:19:56,640 --> 00:20:00,600
Speaker 1: And there's some national narrative implications by whether you live

356
00:20:00,640 --> 00:20:04,679
Speaker 1: in Wyoming, Florida, or New York. Obviously, the federal government

357
00:20:04,680 --> 00:20:07,159
Speaker 1: has an effect on your life and what's going to

358
00:20:07,240 --> 00:20:09,639
Speaker 1: be policy and thee and the fate of the country.

359
00:20:09,920 --> 00:20:13,280
Speaker 1: And that's why we're really drilling down into the House

360
00:20:13,480 --> 00:20:18,040
Speaker 1: and the Senate. Here house looking, i'd say, house, what

361
00:20:18,119 --> 00:20:20,399
Speaker 1: do you think what's a fair estate? House is? Like

362
00:20:22,600 --> 00:20:24,680
Speaker 1: I was gonna say seventy five something like that. Yeah,

363
00:20:24,680 --> 00:20:27,840
Speaker 1: we'll say maybe at seventy five to ninety percent, depending

364
00:20:27,880 --> 00:20:30,880
Speaker 1: on who you want to be the oddsmakers. Um, you're

365
00:20:30,880 --> 00:20:33,080
Speaker 1: gonna go gop. That's not one hundred. Want to be

366
00:20:33,200 --> 00:20:35,159
Speaker 1: very clear. I don't want to get writing into us

367
00:20:35,160 --> 00:20:36,880
Speaker 1: in a few days say how could you have gotten

368
00:20:36,880 --> 00:20:39,720
Speaker 1: this wrong? We don't know. Senate is a straight fifty

369
00:20:39,760 --> 00:20:43,000
Speaker 1: fifty proposition right now, not just the runoff with Herschel

370
00:20:43,080 --> 00:20:47,159
Speaker 1: and obviously that's fifty fifty Herschel and Warnock, but just

371
00:20:47,200 --> 00:20:49,280
Speaker 1: the Senate in general, Senate control. I think it's a

372
00:20:49,320 --> 00:20:52,239
Speaker 1: coin flip. We don't know, and we'll keep updating you

373
00:20:52,280 --> 00:20:56,800
Speaker 1: on this one place. We haven't yet mentioned much, and

374
00:20:56,840 --> 00:21:00,199
Speaker 1: we should give some credit here. JD vance big in

375
00:21:00,320 --> 00:21:02,919
Speaker 1: last night in Ohio. We've had JD on the show

376
00:21:03,000 --> 00:21:08,760
Speaker 1: numerous times, very strong candidate. And Ohio is red, Ohio

377
00:21:08,920 --> 00:21:11,560
Speaker 1: is read. That's certainly something that we can add to

378
00:21:11,600 --> 00:21:16,320
Speaker 1: the happy pile here. Florida isn't just read. Florida is

379
00:21:17,119 --> 00:21:20,200
Speaker 1: bright red. You could see it from outer space red

380
00:21:20,320 --> 00:21:24,840
Speaker 1: at this point. And so that's really something else that

381
00:21:24,840 --> 00:21:27,639
Speaker 1: we took from last night. We actually we have some

382
00:21:27,720 --> 00:21:30,960
Speaker 1: callers that we wanted to get to as well. Let's see,

383
00:21:30,960 --> 00:21:36,400
Speaker 1: do we still have WT in Youngstown, Ohio? Yes, you do, gentlemen,

384
00:21:36,520 --> 00:21:39,480
Speaker 1: and I just call him. If we didn't have a

385
00:21:39,520 --> 00:21:42,280
Speaker 1: red wave in Ohio last night, I don't know what was.

386
00:21:42,320 --> 00:21:45,560
Speaker 1: We only missed a couple of races. I don't think

387
00:21:45,560 --> 00:21:48,120
Speaker 1: I've ever seen where the Republicans have won that good.

388
00:21:48,640 --> 00:21:50,920
Speaker 1: I mean, and you consider, I mean, there's a lot

389
00:21:50,920 --> 00:21:54,879
Speaker 1: of people me included didn't really wasn't really thrilled that

390
00:21:55,080 --> 00:21:59,040
Speaker 1: much about Dwine. But you know, he's done a job.

391
00:21:59,200 --> 00:22:02,000
Speaker 1: I'll admit that. But I really didn't like when he

392
00:22:02,040 --> 00:22:04,400
Speaker 1: brought him that Amy Act and to be our health

393
00:22:04,480 --> 00:22:07,680
Speaker 1: kind of because she was like Colling Obama girl. But anyway,

394
00:22:08,000 --> 00:22:10,240
Speaker 1: I'm thinking about all the races here. Now there's one

395
00:22:10,359 --> 00:22:13,159
Speaker 1: race that I was directly involved in. It was a

396
00:22:13,200 --> 00:22:17,359
Speaker 1: local race. But this this area has changed red since

397
00:22:17,640 --> 00:22:19,640
Speaker 1: Donald Trump came on the scene. I mean, yeah, well

398
00:22:19,680 --> 00:22:22,640
Speaker 1: we're very happy. Look, Ohio is read, which is great.

399
00:22:22,680 --> 00:22:26,240
Speaker 1: Remember it used to be back Yeah, Ohio used to

400
00:22:26,240 --> 00:22:29,159
Speaker 1: be as goeth Ohio, so goeth the country when it

401
00:22:29,200 --> 00:22:33,159
Speaker 1: came to presidential elections. Thanks for calling in WT UM,

402
00:22:33,600 --> 00:22:36,440
Speaker 1: Joe JD vance big win last night. I mean Tim Ryan,

403
00:22:37,400 --> 00:22:40,800
Speaker 1: you know, look, he wasn't a strong candidate. J D

404
00:22:41,080 --> 00:22:45,560
Speaker 1: was a strong candidate obviously, and we congratulate him. Um.

405
00:22:45,880 --> 00:22:51,880
Speaker 1: I also focusing on our friendsh Caroline Levitt and um

406
00:22:53,520 --> 00:22:55,600
Speaker 1: who I'm trying to think who else did not? Unfortunately

407
00:22:55,640 --> 00:23:00,200
Speaker 1: Catalina Catalina laf did not get across the finish line either.

408
00:23:00,280 --> 00:23:02,760
Speaker 1: So we had a few people are Eli Crane did

409
00:23:02,880 --> 00:23:05,879
Speaker 1: former seal great guy he got across. We're very happy

410
00:23:05,960 --> 00:23:09,800
Speaker 1: for him. Um. Did we see what happened with Joe team?

411
00:23:09,800 --> 00:23:13,560
Speaker 1: Can we pull Joe Kent the latest on on that situation. UM.

412
00:23:13,640 --> 00:23:16,320
Speaker 1: And so, you know, we we wanted to point out

413
00:23:16,400 --> 00:23:19,600
Speaker 1: some of the places where things went well as well,

414
00:23:19,800 --> 00:23:24,240
Speaker 1: like Annapolina, Luna big Win and they spent the kitchen

415
00:23:24,400 --> 00:23:26,880
Speaker 1: sink trying to stop her from being in Congress. She's

416
00:23:26,920 --> 00:23:29,160
Speaker 1: a friend of mine, friend of Clay's, and we're so

417
00:23:29,200 --> 00:23:31,560
Speaker 1: happy for her, so proud of what she did in

418
00:23:31,560 --> 00:23:33,679
Speaker 1: that race, part of the you know, part of the

419
00:23:33,720 --> 00:23:37,520
Speaker 1: Florida red tidal wave. Um, so that was that was

420
00:23:37,560 --> 00:23:39,960
Speaker 1: really good news. So you know, there's it's mixed. We

421
00:23:40,000 --> 00:23:42,200
Speaker 1: knew it was going to be a mixed situation. That's

422
00:23:42,200 --> 00:23:44,560
Speaker 1: where it stands right now. Do you have something else?

423
00:23:44,600 --> 00:23:46,960
Speaker 1: We got a couple more callers. Let's get to him

424
00:23:47,000 --> 00:23:55,200
Speaker 1: in Barry and Houston down in Texas. Question for us, Hello, yes, sir,

425
00:23:55,320 --> 00:23:59,920
Speaker 1: you're on air. Suppose we end up with a fifty

426
00:24:00,080 --> 00:24:03,520
Speaker 1: fifty Senate. What's the likelihood that we could convince Joe

427
00:24:03,520 --> 00:24:06,600
Speaker 1: Mansion to switch parties. I wanted to hear your phone, Clay.

428
00:24:06,720 --> 00:24:09,040
Speaker 1: Clay brought this up. It's funny. It's like you have

429
00:24:09,080 --> 00:24:11,080
Speaker 1: a microphone in the studio. Clay brought this up as

430
00:24:11,119 --> 00:24:13,439
Speaker 1: a possibility before the show with me today. Yeah, I

431
00:24:13,520 --> 00:24:15,320
Speaker 1: thought that we were going to be up fifty two

432
00:24:15,440 --> 00:24:19,200
Speaker 1: fifty three in the Senate. In which case mansion seat

433
00:24:19,240 --> 00:24:21,600
Speaker 1: would not be as important. And what I floated was

434
00:24:21,640 --> 00:24:26,040
Speaker 1: the idea, if he wants to get reelected, he can't

435
00:24:26,119 --> 00:24:30,119
Speaker 1: run as a as a Democrat in West Virginia and

436
00:24:30,160 --> 00:24:32,280
Speaker 1: a presidential election year, It's just not going to happen

437
00:24:32,359 --> 00:24:36,560
Speaker 1: for him. Now. Is he willing to do that in

438
00:24:36,600 --> 00:24:39,640
Speaker 1: a fifty fifty Senate and flip control to the Republicans.

439
00:24:39,640 --> 00:24:41,840
Speaker 1: I don't think he'll do it, So I think this

440
00:24:42,359 --> 00:24:45,880
Speaker 1: basically locks him in in the event it's fifty fifty. Now,

441
00:24:46,240 --> 00:24:49,520
Speaker 1: if we win Nevada, if we win Arizona, if we

442
00:24:49,560 --> 00:24:51,800
Speaker 1: win Georgia, if we take control of the Senate, even

443
00:24:51,800 --> 00:24:55,120
Speaker 1: if it's fifty one forty nine, I think potentially he

444
00:24:55,200 --> 00:25:00,200
Speaker 1: could flip Matt by the way in Safety Harbor, Florida.

445
00:25:00,600 --> 00:25:03,000
Speaker 1: What you got for you, guys, Hey, guys, I just

446
00:25:03,040 --> 00:25:07,160
Speaker 1: want to give you a perspective on the complete whoopen

447
00:25:07,280 --> 00:25:09,960
Speaker 1: that we just took yesterday. And I'll tell you why.

448
00:25:10,400 --> 00:25:12,320
Speaker 1: I is a full time I'm a full time with

449
00:25:12,480 --> 00:25:14,960
Speaker 1: an uber driver and I'm in the Tampa Clearwater Saint

450
00:25:15,200 --> 00:25:18,840
Speaker 1: Peach area, So I drive people from all over the country,

451
00:25:19,080 --> 00:25:21,840
Speaker 1: and as you can imagine, I engage them in conversations,

452
00:25:22,480 --> 00:25:24,760
Speaker 1: and in the last couple of months, I have asked

453
00:25:24,880 --> 00:25:28,040
Speaker 1: all kinds of Republican voters. These are Trump supporters, and

454
00:25:28,200 --> 00:25:30,440
Speaker 1: I am one two. I'm a rush guy from ninety one.

455
00:25:31,400 --> 00:25:35,399
Speaker 1: Should Trump run? Yes or no? And why ninety five

456
00:25:35,680 --> 00:25:40,960
Speaker 1: percent of the voters for Donald Trump say no? Because

457
00:25:40,960 --> 00:25:45,159
Speaker 1: he's toxic. He's absolutely too toxic. And if it were me,

458
00:25:45,760 --> 00:25:48,359
Speaker 1: someone needs to get a message to Ronda Santis after

459
00:25:48,400 --> 00:25:52,200
Speaker 1: this hurricane or tropical storm, I would announce my candidacy

460
00:25:52,280 --> 00:25:56,719
Speaker 1: for president on Monday because I'm telling you, and I

461
00:25:56,800 --> 00:25:59,880
Speaker 1: love his presidency, but if he runs again, you're gonna

462
00:26:00,000 --> 00:26:03,399
Speaker 1: have a President Newsom or a President Biden. And I

463
00:26:03,520 --> 00:26:06,040
Speaker 1: hear it every single day. And here's the other thing.

464
00:26:06,760 --> 00:26:10,440
Speaker 1: The liberals that I drive if I engage them in

465
00:26:10,520 --> 00:26:14,119
Speaker 1: conversation and I try and share certain truths like the

466
00:26:14,200 --> 00:26:19,600
Speaker 1: Muller Report or Afghanistan, they blame Trumps for inflation. They

467
00:26:19,720 --> 00:26:23,639
Speaker 1: blamed Trumps for Afghanistan. It's it's like you're talking in

468
00:26:23,760 --> 00:26:26,960
Speaker 1: Mandarin Chinese to these people. So there's a great call.

469
00:26:27,240 --> 00:26:30,919
Speaker 1: It's a great call. So look, people have on the

470
00:26:31,000 --> 00:26:34,080
Speaker 1: left in this country decided that Donald Trump is hitler.

471
00:26:34,520 --> 00:26:37,680
Speaker 1: And I don't believe there is anything that Trump can say,

472
00:26:38,200 --> 00:26:40,919
Speaker 1: even though that's completely inaccurate, and even though Buck and

473
00:26:40,920 --> 00:26:43,880
Speaker 1: I agree that he was and did a fabulous job

474
00:26:43,920 --> 00:26:47,080
Speaker 1: as president, and if COVID doesn't happen, he wins a

475
00:26:47,160 --> 00:26:51,160
Speaker 1: landslide in twenty twenty. But I think that's the challenge

476
00:26:51,200 --> 00:26:53,119
Speaker 1: that a lot of Republican voters are going to have

477
00:26:53,160 --> 00:26:55,320
Speaker 1: to grapple with. Do you want to redo of Trump

478
00:26:55,480 --> 00:26:59,000
Speaker 1: one term if he wins where you know, Buck, you

479
00:26:59,160 --> 00:27:01,960
Speaker 1: know one hundred, We're all going to be up till

480
00:27:02,000 --> 00:27:04,920
Speaker 1: three am waiting to see what happens in Wisconsin and

481
00:27:05,040 --> 00:27:08,720
Speaker 1: Michigan and Pennsylvania and Georgia and Arizona, Nevada, all these

482
00:27:08,720 --> 00:27:11,200
Speaker 1: states that are tight now is not going to change.

483
00:27:11,560 --> 00:27:15,120
Speaker 1: Or do you want to roll the dice and say

484
00:27:15,960 --> 00:27:18,760
Speaker 1: we think Ron de Santis can do for the nation

485
00:27:19,200 --> 00:27:20,800
Speaker 1: what he's done for Florida. And I think that's a

486
00:27:20,880 --> 00:27:23,240
Speaker 1: question that a lot of you listening right now are

487
00:27:23,280 --> 00:27:25,840
Speaker 1: going to have to make a decision on when we

488
00:27:25,880 --> 00:27:32,320
Speaker 1: get to the Republican primary season. Look, the reality here is,

489
00:27:32,359 --> 00:27:35,760
Speaker 1: as we've been saying, no matter no matter who the

490
00:27:35,800 --> 00:27:39,560
Speaker 1: candidate is. Sorry I was, I was about sneeze there first,

491
00:27:39,560 --> 00:27:41,040
Speaker 1: I've never had that having a video before. I was

492
00:27:41,080 --> 00:27:44,720
Speaker 1: fighting a sneeze. No matter who the candidate is going

493
00:27:44,800 --> 00:27:48,439
Speaker 1: to be, it's going to be super super tight. And

494
00:27:48,520 --> 00:27:52,520
Speaker 1: when you look at what would mobilize voters at this point,

495
00:27:52,560 --> 00:27:55,879
Speaker 1: what we'd have to deal with. The apparatus of the

496
00:27:56,040 --> 00:28:00,560
Speaker 1: Democrat left is completely. They are dialed in, right, they

497
00:28:00,560 --> 00:28:04,640
Speaker 1: are cited in against Trump. That's what all the insurrection

498
00:28:04,720 --> 00:28:07,679
Speaker 1: talk and all the January sixth, so all this stuff

499
00:28:07,680 --> 00:28:10,320
Speaker 1: that they have, But also there's a more there's a

500
00:28:10,359 --> 00:28:15,359
Speaker 1: broader thing, a broader weapon that the left is using

501
00:28:15,400 --> 00:28:18,920
Speaker 1: in politics, and it's this notion of extreme. You know,

502
00:28:18,960 --> 00:28:22,320
Speaker 1: remember when when Biden said, you know, there are Ultramaga

503
00:28:22,520 --> 00:28:24,560
Speaker 1: and Ultramaga, and yeah, sure, we made fun of it

504
00:28:24,560 --> 00:28:29,120
Speaker 1: because it sounded stupid. But that's clearly the Democrats trying

505
00:28:29,200 --> 00:28:32,400
Speaker 1: to push this narrative because, by the way, you see

506
00:28:32,400 --> 00:28:35,840
Speaker 1: what happened with the GEOP lest that big Hispanic surge.

507
00:28:35,600 --> 00:28:41,000
Speaker 1: The GOP is racist isn't something. First of all, it's not,

508
00:28:41,120 --> 00:28:42,960
Speaker 1: and so it's it's a smear. But just put that

509
00:28:43,000 --> 00:28:45,959
Speaker 1: aside for a second. The GOP as racist doesn't have

510
00:28:46,040 --> 00:28:51,640
Speaker 1: the political punch that it did, certainly, and the Democrats

511
00:28:51,640 --> 00:28:54,760
Speaker 1: minds when Trump was president or running for president, and

512
00:28:54,840 --> 00:28:57,960
Speaker 1: even I would say in previous elections before that. So Clay,

513
00:28:58,000 --> 00:29:02,320
Speaker 1: what are they going for? The GOP is extreme, their

514
00:29:02,520 --> 00:29:06,959
Speaker 1: threats to democracy, their insurrectionists, they're a challenge to our

515
00:29:07,120 --> 00:29:12,320
Speaker 1: entire system, their election deniers. All of this was a

516
00:29:12,600 --> 00:29:16,120
Speaker 1: huge push going into this mid term. May have been

517
00:29:16,160 --> 00:29:19,479
Speaker 1: what propped up the blue wall for Democrats here. Certainly,

518
00:29:19,480 --> 00:29:21,400
Speaker 1: all these incumbents who won these races and some of

519
00:29:21,400 --> 00:29:24,280
Speaker 1: these very close races that went for Democrats, and they're

520
00:29:24,280 --> 00:29:27,120
Speaker 1: ready to do that. I mean, think about it though

521
00:29:27,280 --> 00:29:29,600
Speaker 1: the after and I'll admit I thought that they were.

522
00:29:29,960 --> 00:29:31,800
Speaker 1: I knew that they were going to keep doubling down

523
00:29:31,840 --> 00:29:33,720
Speaker 1: on that. I didn't think it would be as effective

524
00:29:33,720 --> 00:29:36,160
Speaker 1: in this election as it was. You put Trump at

525
00:29:36,200 --> 00:29:40,000
Speaker 1: the top of the ticket. That is, you can argue

526
00:29:40,040 --> 00:29:42,600
Speaker 1: that it doesn't matter what they want. That's fine. I

527
00:29:42,640 --> 00:29:45,000
Speaker 1: am one hundred percent confident in my mind at least

528
00:29:45,000 --> 00:29:46,840
Speaker 1: that the Democrats want to run against Donald Trump. I

529
00:29:46,880 --> 00:29:48,760
Speaker 1: think you're right. I think you're one hundred percent right.

530
00:29:48,760 --> 00:29:50,520
Speaker 1: By the way, let's get Joane one more quick call

531
00:29:50,560 --> 00:29:53,680
Speaker 1: in here in Bucks County Buck, and I said earlier

532
00:29:53,720 --> 00:29:55,800
Speaker 1: that we didn't sleep that well. Are we helping you, Joan?

533
00:29:58,200 --> 00:30:01,640
Speaker 1: I am so enamored with you two. I was so

534
00:30:02,280 --> 00:30:05,640
Speaker 1: upset about Russia's passing, of course, but you two have

535
00:30:05,760 --> 00:30:08,280
Speaker 1: stepped up to the plate. You guys keep me laughing

536
00:30:08,320 --> 00:30:11,600
Speaker 1: all the time. Buck, your sense of humor just floors me.

537
00:30:12,480 --> 00:30:14,560
Speaker 1: But I have to say, Clay, when you said that

538
00:30:14,680 --> 00:30:17,960
Speaker 1: this morning, are right at well? I have you on it. Noontime,

539
00:30:18,200 --> 00:30:20,880
Speaker 1: I was driving when you said you didn't sleep last night,

540
00:30:20,880 --> 00:30:23,640
Speaker 1: and I was driving, I just burst out laughing. I

541
00:30:23,720 --> 00:30:25,920
Speaker 1: didn't sleep at all last night. I don't know. I

542
00:30:25,960 --> 00:30:28,880
Speaker 1: was so disgusted and upset about the way our elections

543
00:30:28,880 --> 00:30:31,880
Speaker 1: went in Pennsylvania, truly, truly, and when you said that,

544
00:30:31,920 --> 00:30:34,200
Speaker 1: it just really cracked me up. I could really relate

545
00:30:34,240 --> 00:30:37,040
Speaker 1: to that. I mean, I just told Buck Joan when

546
00:30:37,040 --> 00:30:38,640
Speaker 1: we just took in the last break, I was like,

547
00:30:39,080 --> 00:30:42,200
Speaker 1: I hope I can sleep tonight. But I was tossing

548
00:30:42,240 --> 00:30:46,560
Speaker 1: and turning. I kept checking election results. My mind was racing.

549
00:30:46,760 --> 00:30:49,120
Speaker 1: I just and the benefit that Buck and I have

550
00:30:49,160 --> 00:30:51,000
Speaker 1: And Joe, thank you for the call for the kind

551
00:30:51,000 --> 00:30:52,440
Speaker 1: words about what we're doing here. By the way, we

552
00:30:52,440 --> 00:30:54,840
Speaker 1: really do appreciate it. We get to come on and

553
00:30:54,960 --> 00:30:59,120
Speaker 1: basically have therapy with you guys because we say exactly

554
00:30:59,120 --> 00:31:01,320
Speaker 1: what we think, and at the end of the show,

555
00:31:01,400 --> 00:31:03,440
Speaker 1: we feel better because we get to say exactly what

556
00:31:03,520 --> 00:31:05,960
Speaker 1: we think, and we hope that you guys feel better

557
00:31:06,240 --> 00:31:09,240
Speaker 1: because regardless of what's going on, we're talking through it

558
00:31:09,600 --> 00:31:14,479
Speaker 1: as a big family that wants America to be the

559
00:31:14,520 --> 00:31:16,880
Speaker 1: greatest country that it possibly can be and doesn't feel

560
00:31:16,880 --> 00:31:21,400
Speaker 1: like last night's elections made that more likely. We're gonna

561
00:31:21,400 --> 00:31:23,480

00:34:03,000 --> 00:34:06,760
Speaker 1: welcome a forty percent increase in anything. When you are

613
00:34:06,760 --> 00:34:08,480
Speaker 1: in the business of talking to as many people as

614
00:34:08,520 --> 00:34:10,640
Speaker 1: we are on a day to day basis makes a

615
00:34:10,640 --> 00:34:14,560
Speaker 1: big difference. So big picture, we can't even give letter

616
00:34:14,600 --> 00:34:17,440
Speaker 1: grades yet for the mid terms because we don't know enough.

617
00:34:17,640 --> 00:34:19,799
Speaker 1: We haven't graded the final exams. How can we know,

618
00:34:20,000 --> 00:34:23,279
Speaker 1: I know, but a lot of optimism. I think it's

619
00:34:23,280 --> 00:34:26,440
Speaker 1: fair to say Buck in Nevada with Adam Laxalt and

620
00:34:26,520 --> 00:34:28,360
Speaker 1: the way those numbers are coming in, he has a

621
00:34:28,440 --> 00:34:32,359
Speaker 1: three point lead. If Laxalt is able to get the win,

622
00:34:33,160 --> 00:34:34,640
Speaker 1: and I think it's fair to say he should be

623
00:34:34,680 --> 00:34:38,480
Speaker 1: the favorite now in Nevada, then it would come down

624
00:34:38,960 --> 00:34:42,480
Speaker 1: to Georgia again, just like it did two years ago,

625
00:34:42,520 --> 00:34:44,720
Speaker 1: except this time it would be one race as opposed

626
00:34:44,760 --> 00:34:46,719
Speaker 1: to We're gonna have to put We're gonna have to

627
00:34:46,719 --> 00:34:48,880
Speaker 1: come together as a country. I know we're very divided

628
00:34:48,920 --> 00:34:52,160
Speaker 1: on a lot of things right now, but everyone's gonna

629
00:34:52,200 --> 00:34:56,160
Speaker 1: have to just agree that during that Georgia runoff, you

630
00:34:56,200 --> 00:34:59,920
Speaker 1: are not allowed to title an op ed a podcast

631
00:35:00,040 --> 00:35:03,360
Speaker 1: for anything else George on my mind, not allowed. Okay,

632
00:35:03,520 --> 00:35:06,520
Speaker 1: there there are some cliches that must be banned. We're

633
00:35:06,560 --> 00:35:08,319
Speaker 1: gonna have to all come together and agree on that.

634
00:35:08,719 --> 00:35:10,960
Speaker 1: Oh man, we're gonna have Herschel, and I think before

635
00:35:11,000 --> 00:35:14,200
Speaker 1: the end of the week, now that runoff is officially official.

636
00:35:14,360 --> 00:35:17,320
Speaker 1: In many ways, everybody I saw Fox News as officially

637
00:35:17,360 --> 00:35:20,040
Speaker 1: called it. The AP has said, Hey, nobody's getting to fifty.

638
00:35:20,040 --> 00:35:24,440
Speaker 1: We're gonna have a runoff there and that battle. Trump

639
00:35:24,480 --> 00:35:26,240
Speaker 1: is gonna have to make a decision, as we said earlier,

640
00:35:26,320 --> 00:35:27,960
Speaker 1: is he going to announce or not or wait and

641
00:35:27,960 --> 00:35:30,719
Speaker 1: see what happens with the midterms. Trump Trump has an

642
00:35:30,719 --> 00:35:33,680
Speaker 1: opportunity there, one for the good of the country, but

643
00:35:33,760 --> 00:35:37,360
Speaker 1: just more broad or rather more specifically for Trump to

644
00:35:37,440 --> 00:35:40,920
Speaker 1: show everybody, you know, is he able to be a kingmaker?

645
00:35:41,520 --> 00:35:44,200
Speaker 1: Is because because the Herschel's his guy in that race,

646
00:35:44,719 --> 00:35:47,200
Speaker 1: and Trump has raised a ton of money, and he's Trump,

647
00:35:47,239 --> 00:35:49,839
Speaker 1: and he's a former president, and you know, we all

648
00:35:49,880 --> 00:35:52,120
Speaker 1: know the kind of muscle that he can put behind something.

649
00:35:52,680 --> 00:35:56,480
Speaker 1: But maybe that means in this case, making nice with Kemp,

650
00:35:57,000 --> 00:35:59,040
Speaker 1: deciding you're going to just come together and do it

651
00:35:59,080 --> 00:36:01,120
Speaker 1: for the best the best interests of the state of

652
00:36:01,120 --> 00:36:03,439
Speaker 1: Georgia and the American people. I'm just putting this out

653
00:36:03,480 --> 00:36:06,000
Speaker 1: there like, no, it's a gate. It needs to be

654
00:36:06,040 --> 00:36:08,600
Speaker 1: all hands on deck to get Herschel over that finish line,

655
00:36:08,719 --> 00:36:13,080
Speaker 1: as dejanalu As Jogie Barras said, all over again, because

656
00:36:13,280 --> 00:36:16,799
Speaker 1: last time we lost two seats in Georgia, and we

657
00:36:16,920 --> 00:36:20,080
Speaker 1: did it because we didn't run with the number one argument,

658
00:36:20,120 --> 00:36:23,240
Speaker 1: which was, hey, let's put a check on Joe Biden's power.

659
00:36:23,600 --> 00:36:26,280
Speaker 1: We got to do over. We got an opportunity potentially

660
00:36:26,320 --> 00:36:29,200
Speaker 1: to decide the Senate in Georgia again. The number one thing,

661
00:36:29,239 --> 00:36:31,640
Speaker 1: he's got a forty percent approval rating in Georgia, Buck,

662
00:36:31,920 --> 00:36:35,080
Speaker 1: the number one sales pitches. We've got to check Joe

663
00:36:35,080 --> 00:36:38,160
Speaker 1: Biden's power. And no matter what happens in these final results,

664
00:36:38,360 --> 00:36:40,600
Speaker 1: you can still hang out with clam Buck every day. Amen,
