1 00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:03,320 Speaker 1: Welcome to today's edition of the Clay Travis and Buck 2 00:00:03,360 --> 00:00:07,000 Speaker 1: Sexton Show podcast. Second hour of Clay in Buckets going 3 00:00:07,400 --> 00:00:10,200 Speaker 1: right now. Thanks for being with us eight two eight 4 00:00:10,240 --> 00:00:12,719 Speaker 1: two to eight eight two on those lines. If there's 5 00:00:12,760 --> 00:00:16,959 Speaker 1: anything really interesting going on on the airwaves when it 6 00:00:16,960 --> 00:00:20,599 Speaker 1: comes to political ads or just last minute dynamics and 7 00:00:20,760 --> 00:00:23,920 Speaker 1: some of these key races, Colin, let us know and 8 00:00:24,400 --> 00:00:26,239 Speaker 1: we'll try to get some of you in on this 9 00:00:26,280 --> 00:00:28,560 Speaker 1: discussion later to sour in the next hour as well. 10 00:00:29,240 --> 00:00:33,320 Speaker 1: We have a Tiffany Smiley is going to be joining 11 00:00:33,400 --> 00:00:37,400 Speaker 1: us today at one thirty eastern, so just about thirty minutes, 12 00:00:37,440 --> 00:00:43,479 Speaker 1: which is fantastic. She's putting the fear of a major 13 00:00:43,640 --> 00:00:48,640 Speaker 1: loss into the Democrats up in Washington State. But you know, 14 00:00:48,920 --> 00:00:52,839 Speaker 1: Clay reminded me, because we have conversations whenever we go 15 00:00:52,880 --> 00:00:55,440 Speaker 1: into a commercial break and we do a little reset, 16 00:00:55,680 --> 00:00:59,880 Speaker 1: reminded me that Joe Biden is going to be speaking tonight, 17 00:01:01,560 --> 00:01:03,960 Speaker 1: and I did. I had forgotten this. I said, wait, 18 00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:06,840 Speaker 1: what's the speech about? This? From the Washington Post. Biden 19 00:01:06,959 --> 00:01:12,720 Speaker 1: is tonight delivering a speech on democracy near the Capitol. 20 00:01:13,400 --> 00:01:18,120 Speaker 1: The speeches is, according to the White House, about preserving 21 00:01:18,200 --> 00:01:22,360 Speaker 1: and protecting our democracy. And that's also the d n 22 00:01:22,400 --> 00:01:26,319 Speaker 1: C Democratic National Committee saying that he's going to address 23 00:01:26,400 --> 00:01:29,920 Speaker 1: the threat of election deniers and those who seek to 24 00:01:30,160 --> 00:01:35,880 Speaker 1: undermine faith in voting and democracy. Okay, okay, oh, Now, 25 00:01:36,800 --> 00:01:39,840 Speaker 1: I were talking about political malpractice before and the read 26 00:01:40,160 --> 00:01:44,880 Speaker 1: tsunami that we believe is likely coming. Clay, I have 27 00:01:44,920 --> 00:01:46,880 Speaker 1: a theory I want to test out. Testing out a 28 00:01:46,920 --> 00:01:49,920 Speaker 1: theory on air is always a little bit a little 29 00:01:49,960 --> 00:01:54,240 Speaker 1: bit risky because I haven't I haven't sanity tested this 30 00:01:54,240 --> 00:01:56,120 Speaker 1: one with anybody yet, but I was just thinking this. 31 00:01:56,160 --> 00:01:57,720 Speaker 1: I want to put this out there for you and 32 00:01:58,320 --> 00:02:01,720 Speaker 1: you and you know, millions of our closest friends. I 33 00:02:02,640 --> 00:02:06,000 Speaker 1: think that to my point about the the Democrat apparatus 34 00:02:06,160 --> 00:02:09,440 Speaker 1: and fighting for the last war, not the one they're in, 35 00:02:10,240 --> 00:02:12,040 Speaker 1: I might have to add to that. I think they're 36 00:02:12,040 --> 00:02:16,440 Speaker 1: fighting for the next one by preparing for the last 37 00:02:16,520 --> 00:02:20,000 Speaker 1: one and not worried about this midterm election so much. 38 00:02:20,080 --> 00:02:24,639 Speaker 1: Here's what I mean to me. All this democracy denial 39 00:02:24,840 --> 00:02:28,600 Speaker 1: stuff and or election denial and democracy under peril. Yes, 40 00:02:28,680 --> 00:02:31,360 Speaker 1: it plays to their base and they're playing defense in 41 00:02:31,400 --> 00:02:33,880 Speaker 1: places like Washington State. We're gonna talk to Tiffany Smiley 42 00:02:34,120 --> 00:02:36,400 Speaker 1: they need Bass turnout in a big way in some 43 00:02:36,440 --> 00:02:39,640 Speaker 1: of these races, or else it's going to be a total, 44 00:02:40,240 --> 00:02:44,880 Speaker 1: a total annihilation at the ballot box. I think they're 45 00:02:44,919 --> 00:02:48,120 Speaker 1: sticking with this because I think that they they in 46 00:02:48,200 --> 00:02:50,880 Speaker 1: their minds, Okay, maybe it didn't work for the mid terms. 47 00:02:51,240 --> 00:02:53,880 Speaker 1: They're gearing up to run against Trump. That's what I 48 00:02:54,560 --> 00:02:57,120 Speaker 1: think it's Biden. But even even if I know you 49 00:02:57,160 --> 00:03:00,280 Speaker 1: and I don't see, don't see that as play out 50 00:03:00,320 --> 00:03:02,960 Speaker 1: the same way. I think that one of the reasons 51 00:03:03,040 --> 00:03:06,720 Speaker 1: they haven't shifted away from this because otherwise it looks 52 00:03:07,480 --> 00:03:09,720 Speaker 1: so inept claim. So you see what I'm saying. What 53 00:03:09,760 --> 00:03:12,239 Speaker 1: do you think about this idea that the reason they're 54 00:03:12,240 --> 00:03:15,880 Speaker 1: still focused on preserving our democracy in January six is 55 00:03:15,919 --> 00:03:19,880 Speaker 1: that it's not about the midterms. They're fighting the presidential election. 56 00:03:20,200 --> 00:03:23,960 Speaker 1: Even now, at the expense of being smart about the midterms, 57 00:03:24,240 --> 00:03:27,400 Speaker 1: I think that they definitely believe that their strategy to 58 00:03:27,440 --> 00:03:32,200 Speaker 1: win reelection in twenty four is to claim that Republicans 59 00:03:32,400 --> 00:03:36,320 Speaker 1: are direct threats to democracy because it tests well. But 60 00:03:36,440 --> 00:03:39,640 Speaker 1: I think also buck the bigger issue is what is 61 00:03:39,680 --> 00:03:43,080 Speaker 1: your sales pitch? Like I always try to take myself 62 00:03:43,160 --> 00:03:46,080 Speaker 1: out of the equation and just be as rational and 63 00:03:46,160 --> 00:03:48,880 Speaker 1: objective as possible, in the same way that you have 64 00:03:48,960 --> 00:03:51,720 Speaker 1: to be when you're a lawyer and you frequently represent 65 00:03:51,840 --> 00:03:54,880 Speaker 1: sides and you know you've got a bad case. What 66 00:03:55,000 --> 00:03:57,920 Speaker 1: was the best case that they can make. They tried 67 00:03:58,040 --> 00:04:02,080 Speaker 1: this like sort of haphazard Republicans will make inflation worse. 68 00:04:02,400 --> 00:04:06,480 Speaker 1: That definitely doesn't register. It's a bad argument. It doesn't 69 00:04:06,520 --> 00:04:08,960 Speaker 1: have any impact. They don't even want to pretend that 70 00:04:08,960 --> 00:04:11,640 Speaker 1: the border is an issue, so they legitimately can't address it. 71 00:04:11,960 --> 00:04:14,440 Speaker 1: You've seen them try sort of in another hand handed 72 00:04:14,440 --> 00:04:18,080 Speaker 1: fashion to say, actually, crimes not that bad. Those are 73 00:04:18,120 --> 00:04:22,159 Speaker 1: all really awful arguments, I think the only argument. And 74 00:04:22,200 --> 00:04:24,400 Speaker 1: then you even saw Joe Biden try to say, hey, 75 00:04:24,480 --> 00:04:27,360 Speaker 1: COVID's over. I don't think that was an accident. I 76 00:04:27,360 --> 00:04:29,680 Speaker 1: know they said, oh Biden misspoke or whatever. I think 77 00:04:29,680 --> 00:04:32,360 Speaker 1: that was a trial balloon to see if Joe Biden 78 00:04:32,400 --> 00:04:35,880 Speaker 1: could claim, hey, we got through COVID, now we can 79 00:04:35,920 --> 00:04:38,599 Speaker 1: solve all the other issues. But his base wouldn't even 80 00:04:38,600 --> 00:04:41,680 Speaker 1: allow him to make that argument, and so I think 81 00:04:41,720 --> 00:04:45,440 Speaker 1: they're left with the best of bad options, which is 82 00:04:45,480 --> 00:04:47,840 Speaker 1: the only way they can motivate their base. And I 83 00:04:47,920 --> 00:04:49,599 Speaker 1: think that's what this is about, because I think they've 84 00:04:49,600 --> 00:04:52,919 Speaker 1: recognized they've lost independence and they've lost Republicans for sure. 85 00:04:53,520 --> 00:04:56,800 Speaker 1: The only way they can motivate their base. The way 86 00:04:56,839 --> 00:05:00,800 Speaker 1: Joe Biden frankly got elected was Orange Man bad, and 87 00:05:00,839 --> 00:05:04,160 Speaker 1: I think ultimately he's going back to what worked before 88 00:05:04,640 --> 00:05:07,719 Speaker 1: because he can't think of any other argument now where 89 00:05:07,760 --> 00:05:10,080 Speaker 1: I would disagree with your thesis, which I think that's 90 00:05:10,120 --> 00:05:12,720 Speaker 1: the Biden intent. I believe what's going to happen is 91 00:05:12,760 --> 00:05:16,560 Speaker 1: we get the red tsunami. And I think almost immediately 92 00:05:16,600 --> 00:05:19,560 Speaker 1: after these final results come in, there will start to 93 00:05:19,600 --> 00:05:23,119 Speaker 1: be significant leaks from inside of the Democrat Party about 94 00:05:23,120 --> 00:05:25,600 Speaker 1: how awful Joe Biden is. Can I So for me, 95 00:05:26,160 --> 00:05:29,280 Speaker 1: it's not That's why I said the Democrat apparatus. I 96 00:05:29,320 --> 00:05:33,440 Speaker 1: think the Democrat Party, the DNC, CNN, all of them, 97 00:05:33,640 --> 00:05:37,000 Speaker 1: the Congress, and Democrats in Congress with the Jan six hearings. 98 00:05:37,400 --> 00:05:40,720 Speaker 1: I just think that they view this like the midterms 99 00:05:40,800 --> 00:05:43,160 Speaker 1: is a speed bump on the way to their eventual 100 00:05:43,240 --> 00:05:46,600 Speaker 1: clash with Trump again. Ya, that's the only thing. So, 101 00:05:46,600 --> 00:05:48,600 Speaker 1: so whether or not Biden is the guy or not, 102 00:05:48,680 --> 00:05:52,000 Speaker 1: it almost doesn't really matter in this context because I 103 00:05:52,040 --> 00:05:54,239 Speaker 1: think they believe they're going to have to run against 104 00:05:54,240 --> 00:05:58,240 Speaker 1: Trump again, and so that has shaded and I think 105 00:05:58,279 --> 00:06:03,720 Speaker 1: really distorted dramatically. They're thinking about how this will play now, 106 00:06:03,920 --> 00:06:06,680 Speaker 1: because this is why you have these January sixth hearings, 107 00:06:06,720 --> 00:06:08,400 Speaker 1: this is why all this stuff is going on, and 108 00:06:08,440 --> 00:06:11,200 Speaker 1: this is why the Marlago raid, all these different issues. 109 00:06:11,440 --> 00:06:14,280 Speaker 1: They're still preparing for the fight against Trump in their 110 00:06:14,279 --> 00:06:16,839 Speaker 1: own minds. And you know, that's all assuming that Trump 111 00:06:16,920 --> 00:06:18,600 Speaker 1: is the candidate in the Republican side, which I think 112 00:06:18,640 --> 00:06:21,479 Speaker 1: people the betting odds are probably strongly in favor of that. 113 00:06:22,000 --> 00:06:24,719 Speaker 1: But I mean, clay otherwise they're just lunatics. And I 114 00:06:24,720 --> 00:06:27,160 Speaker 1: think they are lunatics at some level. But I you know, 115 00:06:27,440 --> 00:06:30,240 Speaker 1: they can be sneaky, they can be cunning. The one 116 00:06:30,279 --> 00:06:32,320 Speaker 1: thing I'll be that I'm kind of surprised by. I 117 00:06:32,360 --> 00:06:35,760 Speaker 1: don't disagree they want to run against Trump because Trump 118 00:06:35,880 --> 00:06:38,560 Speaker 1: is the only thing that really unites the Democrat Party, 119 00:06:39,160 --> 00:06:43,679 Speaker 1: because he as the great Satan, he as the Hitler. 120 00:06:43,760 --> 00:06:46,240 Speaker 1: I mean, I think they legitimately believe that he is Hitler. 121 00:06:47,520 --> 00:06:50,680 Speaker 1: What I would say is what they're missing there is 122 00:06:51,279 --> 00:06:55,920 Speaker 1: they ran that campaign in twenty It won because of 123 00:06:56,080 --> 00:06:59,640 Speaker 1: COVID if they had run that Trump is Hitler, Trump 124 00:06:59,720 --> 00:07:03,040 Speaker 1: is ever everything that's evil, Orange Man bad campaign in 125 00:07:03,160 --> 00:07:06,960 Speaker 1: twenty and COVID had never hit Trump wins a landslide, 126 00:07:07,560 --> 00:07:09,560 Speaker 1: and so I think not only are they fighting, I 127 00:07:09,560 --> 00:07:12,560 Speaker 1: think your analysis about a rearguard action. I think they're 128 00:07:12,560 --> 00:07:16,280 Speaker 1: misidentifying why they won. And one is in quotation marks 129 00:07:16,280 --> 00:07:18,360 Speaker 1: because they were certainly all the rig job and everything 130 00:07:18,400 --> 00:07:22,040 Speaker 1: else that was going on. But even with COVID, they 131 00:07:22,080 --> 00:07:25,360 Speaker 1: won by forty thousand votes, and so I think they're 132 00:07:25,440 --> 00:07:28,040 Speaker 1: already I think you're correct looking ahead towards Trump. But 133 00:07:28,120 --> 00:07:32,920 Speaker 1: here's what surprises me. Trump has actually not really injected himself, 134 00:07:33,360 --> 00:07:35,720 Speaker 1: not aggressively in the mid term at all. Well, I 135 00:07:35,760 --> 00:07:38,760 Speaker 1: think that's part of why. So, you know, you think 136 00:07:38,760 --> 00:07:40,920 Speaker 1: about it like like their war game, right, they're planned 137 00:07:40,920 --> 00:07:44,080 Speaker 1: for this midterm election. I think that, And look at 138 00:07:44,080 --> 00:07:47,680 Speaker 1: the Marlago thing and the January six hearings. I thought 139 00:07:47,720 --> 00:07:51,440 Speaker 1: that they I think they believed they'd be able to 140 00:07:51,720 --> 00:07:54,960 Speaker 1: put Trump on the ballot in some capacity in the 141 00:07:55,000 --> 00:07:57,920 Speaker 1: minds of voters, even though clearly he's not on the ballot, 142 00:07:58,280 --> 00:08:01,200 Speaker 1: and that has failed. But part of why I think 143 00:08:01,200 --> 00:08:03,720 Speaker 1: they're clinging to this. I mean Joe Biden's clay. Of 144 00:08:03,760 --> 00:08:06,320 Speaker 1: all the things, he could give a speech focused on tonight, 145 00:08:06,840 --> 00:08:10,520 Speaker 1: threats to our democracy. People are ticked off about the 146 00:08:10,600 --> 00:08:13,920 Speaker 1: high price of gas and food and rent and there, 147 00:08:13,960 --> 00:08:16,360 Speaker 1: and they're ticked off about the crime. And you know, 148 00:08:16,640 --> 00:08:20,040 Speaker 1: instead of being the Joe Biden that they lied to 149 00:08:20,160 --> 00:08:22,960 Speaker 1: us that we were getting, which would be a grandfather, 150 00:08:23,080 --> 00:08:26,320 Speaker 1: he could come out tonight like America's grandpa and say, folks, 151 00:08:26,320 --> 00:08:28,600 Speaker 1: we're gonna bring everyone together. We're gonna back our cops. 152 00:08:28,640 --> 00:08:30,360 Speaker 1: We're gonna clean up our streets, we're gonna get those 153 00:08:30,400 --> 00:08:33,040 Speaker 1: crime numbers down. We're not going to spend on crazy things. 154 00:08:33,160 --> 00:08:35,640 Speaker 1: We're just gonna we're just gonna protect social security. We're 155 00:08:35,640 --> 00:08:38,360 Speaker 1: gonna protect Medicare. We're gonna work to make sure that 156 00:08:38,400 --> 00:08:40,440 Speaker 1: you know, a fair day's work for a fair day's waitch, 157 00:08:40,440 --> 00:08:43,160 Speaker 1: you know, all the usual stuff. He could do that 158 00:08:43,559 --> 00:08:48,080 Speaker 1: and maybe help some Democrat candidates for the next week. Right, 159 00:08:48,120 --> 00:08:50,720 Speaker 1: he could actually put a little bit of a Instead 160 00:08:50,760 --> 00:08:54,079 Speaker 1: they're doing a threats to our Democracy rally next to 161 00:08:54,120 --> 00:08:56,760 Speaker 1: the Capital. These people are out of their mind. So 162 00:08:56,800 --> 00:08:59,520 Speaker 1: I'm just trying to Yes, there's a degree of crazy, 163 00:08:59,559 --> 00:09:03,120 Speaker 1: but there's always also a degree of calculation. Even with 164 00:09:03,160 --> 00:09:06,560 Speaker 1: the crazy Libs, I think that they're just they view 165 00:09:06,600 --> 00:09:09,600 Speaker 1: it all still as like the existential struggle against Trump 166 00:09:09,640 --> 00:09:13,720 Speaker 1: and they and they're ready for that at the expense 167 00:09:13,760 --> 00:09:16,560 Speaker 1: of the midterm elections right now. You ever go to 168 00:09:16,600 --> 00:09:20,080 Speaker 1: a concert when the person who's at performing at the 169 00:09:20,120 --> 00:09:24,000 Speaker 1: concert has one song you actually want to hear. Yes, 170 00:09:25,160 --> 00:09:27,360 Speaker 1: I saw an opening act once where that was the case, 171 00:09:27,679 --> 00:09:29,480 Speaker 1: the band with the Crash Test Dummies. And I'm not 172 00:09:29,480 --> 00:09:31,800 Speaker 1: ashamed to say it. All right, So I've been to 173 00:09:31,920 --> 00:09:35,280 Speaker 1: a lot of concerts over the years where there's like 174 00:09:35,320 --> 00:09:38,360 Speaker 1: one song people really want to hear, and the band 175 00:09:38,480 --> 00:09:41,240 Speaker 1: can never open with the one song that people really 176 00:09:41,280 --> 00:09:44,160 Speaker 1: want to hear because then they've got nothing else, and 177 00:09:44,240 --> 00:09:48,160 Speaker 1: so they play several other songs that nobody cares about 178 00:09:48,679 --> 00:09:51,400 Speaker 1: to lead up to the song that people actually care about, 179 00:09:51,400 --> 00:09:54,520 Speaker 1: and it's their crescendo, it's their finale. I think the 180 00:09:54,600 --> 00:09:58,520 Speaker 1: Biden administration is that band. I think that they have 181 00:09:59,080 --> 00:10:02,640 Speaker 1: one hit, and they believe their one hit is democracy 182 00:10:02,720 --> 00:10:05,800 Speaker 1: is in peril, and so they've tried to go around 183 00:10:05,840 --> 00:10:08,559 Speaker 1: and say they're gonna cut Social Security, They're going to 184 00:10:08,640 --> 00:10:13,040 Speaker 1: increase inflation. We're actually doing a really good job on crime. 185 00:10:13,080 --> 00:10:16,680 Speaker 1: They've tried all those they don't register. And the only 186 00:10:16,760 --> 00:10:21,280 Speaker 1: thing that registers with their crazy bass is Democracy's in peril. 187 00:10:21,720 --> 00:10:24,200 Speaker 1: And so as we sit here six days out, Joe 188 00:10:24,200 --> 00:10:27,160 Speaker 1: Biden has one song that plays at all with the 189 00:10:27,200 --> 00:10:30,560 Speaker 1: Democrat bass, and I think he's going to keep banging 190 00:10:30,600 --> 00:10:34,480 Speaker 1: that now. The problem is for a lot of people 191 00:10:34,480 --> 00:10:36,800 Speaker 1: out there who are persuadable, You're like, I don't want 192 00:10:36,840 --> 00:10:39,080 Speaker 1: to go see that guy. He's only got one song, 193 00:10:39,559 --> 00:10:41,680 Speaker 1: and the song's not that good in the first place. 194 00:10:41,920 --> 00:10:44,880 Speaker 1: And I think that's how independents are responding to this. 195 00:10:45,320 --> 00:10:49,319 Speaker 1: But buck, to me, what is wild is Joe Biden 196 00:10:49,320 --> 00:10:53,200 Speaker 1: gave the speech in September on the thursday I believe 197 00:10:53,280 --> 00:10:57,160 Speaker 1: that college football season started, if I remember correctly, leading 198 00:10:57,200 --> 00:11:02,320 Speaker 1: into the lead into Labor Day, and at that point 199 00:11:02,400 --> 00:11:05,920 Speaker 1: in time, if you looked at the gambling markets, Joe 200 00:11:05,960 --> 00:11:09,440 Speaker 1: Biden and the Democrats were in their strongest place that 201 00:11:09,520 --> 00:11:12,480 Speaker 1: they have ever been. And that speech was such a disaster. 202 00:11:12,600 --> 00:11:15,960 Speaker 1: The red background, the Emperor Palpatine field, the marine standing 203 00:11:16,000 --> 00:11:18,480 Speaker 1: behind him. That if you look that literally was the 204 00:11:18,559 --> 00:11:20,760 Speaker 1: high water mark. And every time since then, they've gone 205 00:11:20,800 --> 00:11:24,320 Speaker 1: down to me. Biden is the worst advocate, even for 206 00:11:24,400 --> 00:11:27,040 Speaker 1: his best hit one. I think it's it's great that 207 00:11:27,360 --> 00:11:32,600 Speaker 1: you the Clay calendar is before or after college football 208 00:11:32,800 --> 00:11:38,680 Speaker 1: starts football season. With that, it's it's BCF or or 209 00:11:39,160 --> 00:11:43,560 Speaker 1: yeah or ACF after college football. Um No. I think 210 00:11:43,600 --> 00:11:47,520 Speaker 1: that the the Emperor Palpatine speech, which was universally viewed 211 00:11:47,559 --> 00:11:52,440 Speaker 1: as a disaster. Um they how this This again goes 212 00:11:52,440 --> 00:11:55,920 Speaker 1: to my theory. How could they be so dense as 213 00:11:55,960 --> 00:12:00,600 Speaker 1: to not learn from that mistake? Unless they can't turn 214 00:12:00,640 --> 00:12:05,480 Speaker 1: off this machinery because they think they need it against Trump, 215 00:12:05,679 --> 00:12:08,160 Speaker 1: and so they don't. They won't scale it back, they 216 00:12:08,200 --> 00:12:11,880 Speaker 1: won't stop talking about this because they think that this 217 00:12:11,920 --> 00:12:14,439 Speaker 1: has their base mobilized and they need to keep them 218 00:12:14,440 --> 00:12:17,280 Speaker 1: focused on on this issue because otherwise, oh look, we're 219 00:12:17,280 --> 00:12:19,839 Speaker 1: just trying to make sense of And this is also 220 00:12:19,960 --> 00:12:22,440 Speaker 1: I think important for us to make sure that we 221 00:12:22,559 --> 00:12:25,520 Speaker 1: understand really the dynamics playing out right now. I mean, 222 00:12:25,679 --> 00:12:28,600 Speaker 1: like if Biden had a strong economy, things would be 223 00:12:28,679 --> 00:12:30,839 Speaker 1: very different right now. Everyone just understand that if he 224 00:12:31,400 --> 00:12:33,959 Speaker 1: hadn't spent but which is what Democrats always do. But 225 00:12:34,000 --> 00:12:36,280 Speaker 1: if they hadn't spent us into the worst inflation in 226 00:12:36,320 --> 00:12:39,080 Speaker 1: forty years, we wouldn't be looking at this red wave. 227 00:12:39,120 --> 00:12:42,520 Speaker 1: So they may learn some lessons there, but it is 228 00:12:42,559 --> 00:12:45,760 Speaker 1: political malpractice the way they have run the last particularly 229 00:12:45,800 --> 00:12:48,480 Speaker 1: the last three months. It's just it's like, what country 230 00:12:48,480 --> 00:12:51,520 Speaker 1: are they living in? Honestly, And I will throw in 231 00:12:51,559 --> 00:12:54,600 Speaker 1: one little other nugget here, buck, I think Biden really 232 00:12:54,640 --> 00:12:57,480 Speaker 1: believes all this. I think he's got dementia. I don't 233 00:12:57,480 --> 00:13:00,160 Speaker 1: think that his brain works very well. But they have 234 00:13:00,520 --> 00:13:04,440 Speaker 1: They have kept surrounding him with historians who initially filled 235 00:13:04,480 --> 00:13:07,520 Speaker 1: him up with the idea of, hey, you're FDR. And 236 00:13:07,559 --> 00:13:09,360 Speaker 1: I think that's why he tried to go so big, 237 00:13:09,559 --> 00:13:13,360 Speaker 1: because he wanted to be a legacy president, and I 238 00:13:13,400 --> 00:13:16,280 Speaker 1: think they have built him up the idea that he 239 00:13:16,440 --> 00:13:20,720 Speaker 1: is all that stands between America and the collapse of democracy. 240 00:13:21,160 --> 00:13:23,720 Speaker 1: I think I think they have convinced him that's true. 241 00:13:24,080 --> 00:13:29,199 Speaker 1: And so historians oftentimes are not the best judges of 242 00:13:29,240 --> 00:13:33,800 Speaker 1: the present day because history is predicated on, oftentimes hundreds 243 00:13:33,800 --> 00:13:37,679 Speaker 1: of years to look back on it. And I think objectively, 244 00:13:38,080 --> 00:13:41,600 Speaker 1: Biden is Jimmy Carter and he thinks he's FDR. And 245 00:13:41,720 --> 00:13:44,720 Speaker 1: that explains a lot of the ways that he's behaving, 246 00:13:45,040 --> 00:13:48,160 Speaker 1: and that he believes he has to save American democracy 247 00:13:48,600 --> 00:13:51,880 Speaker 1: like FDR did during the Great Depression in the nineteen thirties. 248 00:13:51,920 --> 00:13:54,760 Speaker 1: I think he's convinced himself historically that he is FDR, 249 00:13:55,160 --> 00:13:57,880 Speaker 1: and the reality is he's Jimmy Carter. And if you're 250 00:13:58,400 --> 00:14:01,400 Speaker 1: Jimmy Carter thinking you're FDR, you actually end up even 251 00:14:01,480 --> 00:14:03,640 Speaker 1: worse than Jimmy Carter because you have such a poor 252 00:14:03,720 --> 00:14:08,160 Speaker 1: read of the larger marketplace of ideas. Speaking of poor 253 00:14:08,200 --> 00:14:10,960 Speaker 1: read doesn't help that Joe Biden's got low testosterone, and 254 00:14:11,040 --> 00:14:14,280 Speaker 1: his entire White House is filled with men with low testosterone, 255 00:14:14,640 --> 00:14:19,520 Speaker 1: and as a result, weak men lead to oftentimes awful results. 256 00:14:19,960 --> 00:14:21,840 Speaker 1: And I wish right now we could send some of 257 00:14:21,880 --> 00:14:24,640 Speaker 1: those weak men in the Biden White House some testosterone 258 00:14:24,920 --> 00:14:28,360 Speaker 1: so they could actually get some backbone spine understand where 259 00:14:28,360 --> 00:14:30,120 Speaker 1: we are as a country and why they are such 260 00:14:30,160 --> 00:14:33,600 Speaker 1: abject failures. Unfortunately we can't. I'd also like to give 261 00:14:33,680 --> 00:14:36,840 Speaker 1: Joe Biden some more energy, more vitality, more vigor, vitality, 262 00:14:36,960 --> 00:14:39,720 Speaker 1: them all of the things that are important when you 263 00:14:39,720 --> 00:14:42,000 Speaker 1: were the leader of the free world, which is why 264 00:14:42,520 --> 00:14:44,680 Speaker 1: I would send them Chalk. If I could, I'd pull 265 00:14:44,760 --> 00:14:46,920 Speaker 1: up right at the White House say hey, this is 266 00:14:46,960 --> 00:14:49,800 Speaker 1: for free, This is to make you guys actually have 267 00:14:49,840 --> 00:14:52,920 Speaker 1: some testosterone. And what I think is the least testosterone 268 00:14:53,000 --> 00:14:56,120 Speaker 1: laden White House in American history, and we are going 269 00:14:56,160 --> 00:15:01,040 Speaker 1: to make America strong again, vital again, test osterone latent again. 270 00:15:01,440 --> 00:15:04,040 Speaker 1: Maybe in your own life, you or people you know 271 00:15:04,560 --> 00:15:06,840 Speaker 1: are not feeling up to the same energy that you've 272 00:15:06,840 --> 00:15:08,080 Speaker 1: had before, and maybe you roll out of bed and 273 00:15:08,120 --> 00:15:10,600 Speaker 1: you think, man, it's not as easy you used to be. 274 00:15:11,080 --> 00:15:14,080 Speaker 1: Maybe you get into bed and you wake up feeling 275 00:15:14,240 --> 00:15:17,440 Speaker 1: worse than you did when you went to bed. Somebody 276 00:15:17,440 --> 00:15:19,840 Speaker 1: said to me recently, I think it's true. What is 277 00:15:19,840 --> 00:15:22,800 Speaker 1: getting old? It's when you go to bed feeling great 278 00:15:23,040 --> 00:15:26,600 Speaker 1: and wake up feeling like crap. That is aging. Maybe 279 00:15:26,760 --> 00:15:29,840 Speaker 1: more testosterone would help you.

Jennifer Ruth Green 306 00:16:55,160 --> 00:16:59,120 Speaker 1: She is in the first congressional district in Indiana. Twenty 307 00:16:59,160 --> 00:17:02,320 Speaker 1: plus years of Air Force service, also still active in 308 00:17:02,400 --> 00:17:05,520 Speaker 1: the Indiana Air National Guard. Buck and I are trying 309 00:17:05,520 --> 00:17:09,000 Speaker 1: to have on as many people in battleground races as 310 00:17:09,040 --> 00:17:11,760 Speaker 1: we can. You are a fantastic candidate. We want to 311 00:17:11,760 --> 00:17:14,399 Speaker 1: help you get across the finish line. What are you 312 00:17:14,440 --> 00:17:17,800 Speaker 1: seeing on the ground in Indiana? What can our listeners 313 00:17:17,840 --> 00:17:20,160 Speaker 1: do to help ensure that you are a member of 314 00:17:20,200 --> 00:17:24,000 Speaker 1: Congress starting in January? Oh, thank you so much for 315 00:17:24,080 --> 00:17:27,400 Speaker 1: having me. We are six days away from victory, and 316 00:17:27,440 --> 00:17:29,879 Speaker 1: I firmly believe that what do we see on the ground. 317 00:17:29,960 --> 00:17:33,879 Speaker 1: We see that people are concerned about gas groceries and grandkids. 318 00:17:33,920 --> 00:17:36,200 Speaker 1: They're concerned about the fact that they have to choose 319 00:17:36,200 --> 00:17:38,359 Speaker 1: between gas and groceries when they go out, and the 320 00:17:38,440 --> 00:17:42,240 Speaker 1: fact that the current administration is spending their grandkids money. 321 00:17:42,640 --> 00:17:46,240 Speaker 1: And that's the simplicity of it all gas groceries and grandkids. 322 00:17:46,480 --> 00:17:48,000 Speaker 1: And as we go out and talk to people, that's 323 00:17:48,040 --> 00:17:50,679 Speaker 1: what they tell us. But these six days leading up, 324 00:17:50,720 --> 00:17:53,520 Speaker 1: what we're seeing is that Republicans are coming out in droves, 325 00:17:53,920 --> 00:17:57,360 Speaker 1: and so we are getting new newly registered voters. We're 326 00:17:57,359 --> 00:18:00,359 Speaker 1: having people who have not necessarily voted in a while 327 00:18:00,440 --> 00:18:02,440 Speaker 1: who are coming up and voting. We have Dems who 328 00:18:02,440 --> 00:18:05,400 Speaker 1: are switching and voting for us, and so early returns, 329 00:18:05,480 --> 00:18:08,600 Speaker 1: those kinds of things are very promising. And so this 330 00:18:08,640 --> 00:18:11,480 Speaker 1: district has been held by Dems for ninety two years. 331 00:18:11,840 --> 00:18:15,800 Speaker 1: But people are focused and I believe one week from today, 332 00:18:15,880 --> 00:18:18,080 Speaker 1: less than one week from today, we will be victorious 333 00:18:18,119 --> 00:18:21,920 Speaker 1: and flipping the seat. And we're very, very excited about it. Jennifer, 334 00:18:21,960 --> 00:18:24,399 Speaker 1: We're really very honored to have you on for the 335 00:18:24,400 --> 00:18:28,240 Speaker 1: first time and thank you for joining us here. The 336 00:18:28,440 --> 00:18:32,080 Speaker 1: opponent you face, what are the what are the primary 337 00:18:32,160 --> 00:18:35,800 Speaker 1: differences that should be noted for anybody who is in 338 00:18:35,840 --> 00:18:39,760 Speaker 1: your district and is still thinking, well, you know, I'm 339 00:18:39,840 --> 00:18:42,720 Speaker 1: on the fence or I'm considering what does it mean 340 00:18:42,960 --> 00:18:48,399 Speaker 1: if if Indiana's First sends you to DC versus the opposition. 341 00:18:50,560 --> 00:18:53,919 Speaker 1: So Congressman Frank Lavan is a freshman. He ran as 342 00:18:53,960 --> 00:18:57,159 Speaker 1: a moderate, and he has positioned himself as a socialist. 343 00:18:57,280 --> 00:19:01,040 Speaker 1: He's voted with the Democrat agenda one the time, and 344 00:19:01,080 --> 00:19:04,359 Speaker 1: he has left the steel industry behind. Twenty seven percent 345 00:19:04,359 --> 00:19:08,160 Speaker 1: of the nation's steel comes from northwest Indiana. That as 346 00:19:08,200 --> 00:19:11,320 Speaker 1: goes steel, so goes our economy. He's left that behind. 347 00:19:11,520 --> 00:19:14,320 Speaker 1: And he also hasn't been in touch. He hasn't been around, 348 00:19:14,440 --> 00:19:17,320 Speaker 1: He hasn't He refuses to debate me, to defend any 349 00:19:17,320 --> 00:19:20,119 Speaker 1: of his records, and I think it's just disrespectful to 350 00:19:20,240 --> 00:19:24,239 Speaker 1: the amazing people that live here in northwest Indiana. The 351 00:19:24,280 --> 00:19:28,119 Speaker 1: region is comprised of people who go ahead, No, no, 352 00:19:28,400 --> 00:19:30,800 Speaker 1: you're still, you're rolling. I was just going to offer 353 00:19:30,840 --> 00:19:33,080 Speaker 1: you some praise. Let me sorry to cut in there, 354 00:19:33,119 --> 00:19:35,159 Speaker 1: but you're I saw this and I was like, this 355 00:19:35,200 --> 00:19:37,560 Speaker 1: is amazing because Buck's about to marry into a family 356 00:19:37,640 --> 00:19:42,000 Speaker 1: like this. You are third generation Air Force. Your grandfather 357 00:19:42,240 --> 00:19:44,159 Speaker 1: and your dad were also in the Air Force, and 358 00:19:44,160 --> 00:19:46,800 Speaker 1: then you went to Air Force Academy. I mean, your 359 00:19:46,840 --> 00:19:50,000 Speaker 1: family has to be so proud of you. What did 360 00:19:50,040 --> 00:19:53,560 Speaker 1: it feel like to be third generation Air Force. No, 361 00:19:53,680 --> 00:19:56,960 Speaker 1: it's so exciting because not only does it make me 362 00:19:57,040 --> 00:20:03,720 Speaker 1: my parents favorite, because that's important, but ultimately, no, I 363 00:20:03,760 --> 00:20:07,240 Speaker 1: think they're just they appreciate respect the fact that the 364 00:20:07,359 --> 00:20:11,040 Speaker 1: legacy continues, because I think we value the military very greatly, 365 00:20:11,040 --> 00:20:13,520 Speaker 1: and I think it provides a great discipline. It helped 366 00:20:13,600 --> 00:20:15,800 Speaker 1: us growing up to make sure that we knew that 367 00:20:16,720 --> 00:20:18,600 Speaker 1: we had to work hard, and we had to make 368 00:20:18,640 --> 00:20:21,639 Speaker 1: sure that we presented ourselves in a way that allowed 369 00:20:21,720 --> 00:20:24,160 Speaker 1: us to have access and influence. So we had to 370 00:20:24,200 --> 00:20:26,360 Speaker 1: earn good grades, we had to strive to do well. 371 00:20:26,440 --> 00:20:28,119 Speaker 1: We had to not count on other people to do 372 00:20:28,160 --> 00:20:30,520 Speaker 1: things for us. And so I think all of those 373 00:20:30,520 --> 00:20:33,320 Speaker 1: principles line up well with what I'm continuing to strive 374 00:20:33,359 --> 00:20:36,000 Speaker 1: to share with young people through the nonprofit. And so 375 00:20:36,040 --> 00:20:39,920 Speaker 1: I think people are focused on the good that military 376 00:20:39,960 --> 00:20:42,760 Speaker 1: service brings, and so it's been a huge asset when 377 00:20:42,760 --> 00:20:44,480 Speaker 1: talking to people in the district about some of the 378 00:20:44,520 --> 00:20:46,720 Speaker 1: things I want to do as far as helping people 379 00:20:46,760 --> 00:20:48,880 Speaker 1: to succeed, because it's a great way to do that. 380 00:20:49,359 --> 00:20:52,680 Speaker 1: We're speaking right now, my friends, to Jennifer Ruth Green, 381 00:20:52,960 --> 00:20:56,959 Speaker 1: she's running in Indiana's first congressional to our Indiana listeners, 382 00:20:56,960 --> 00:20:59,160 Speaker 1: please get out there, get out there, vote, and help 383 00:20:59,280 --> 00:21:02,080 Speaker 1: Jennifer in any way you can. How are we doing, Jennifer? 384 00:21:02,080 --> 00:21:04,920 Speaker 1: You know one thing, we don't hear nearly as much 385 00:21:04,960 --> 00:21:07,399 Speaker 1: about these days as we have in previous elections, and 386 00:21:07,440 --> 00:21:10,840 Speaker 1: I understand it's because we're not active in combat zones 387 00:21:10,880 --> 00:21:14,399 Speaker 1: the way we had been until recently. How are we 388 00:21:14,440 --> 00:21:16,840 Speaker 1: doing with our veteran community, And we've got so many 389 00:21:16,880 --> 00:21:20,000 Speaker 1: people listening to the show who are veterans and a 390 00:21:20,040 --> 00:21:22,959 Speaker 1: lot of active duty military as well. What has it 391 00:21:23,000 --> 00:21:25,480 Speaker 1: been like the last two years under Biden and what 392 00:21:25,600 --> 00:21:30,920 Speaker 1: could be done differently? So, as I'm sure you've heard 393 00:21:30,920 --> 00:21:36,040 Speaker 1: around the country, Indiana's first congressional district echoes the sentiments 394 00:21:36,080 --> 00:21:40,040 Speaker 1: in regards to veterans. We see and continue to see 395 00:21:40,119 --> 00:21:42,960 Speaker 1: the wokeness of our military as a priority for this 396 00:21:43,040 --> 00:21:46,600 Speaker 1: current administration, and it really debilitates us because it takes 397 00:21:46,600 --> 00:21:49,879 Speaker 1: away from our primary focus, which is mission readiness, and 398 00:21:49,920 --> 00:21:53,480 Speaker 1: so people are very very frustrated by that. We don't 399 00:21:53,520 --> 00:21:56,480 Speaker 1: necessarily need to have the days of old, where you know, 400 00:21:56,600 --> 00:21:59,680 Speaker 1: we talk about discrimination, or we talk about sexism or 401 00:21:59,720 --> 00:22:02,080 Speaker 1: the bogyny or those kinds of things. But the military 402 00:22:02,119 --> 00:22:05,000 Speaker 1: has gotten a strong grasp on those elements. But the 403 00:22:05,080 --> 00:22:10,240 Speaker 1: difficulty is that we're overdoing it and that's defeating our readiness. 404 00:22:10,240 --> 00:22:13,640 Speaker 1: And so veterans also are very excited about the fact 405 00:22:13,680 --> 00:22:16,119 Speaker 1: that when you shake someone's hands that should mean something. 406 00:22:16,720 --> 00:22:19,199 Speaker 1: Your word and your name is all that you have 407 00:22:19,320 --> 00:22:21,439 Speaker 1: to offer, that's what you bring to a unit. You 408 00:22:21,520 --> 00:22:23,720 Speaker 1: bring name, rank, serial number, and date of birth and 409 00:22:23,880 --> 00:22:26,879 Speaker 1: your particular specialty, and so you have to be on 410 00:22:26,920 --> 00:22:28,760 Speaker 1: the same team. They have to know when you shake 411 00:22:28,800 --> 00:22:31,159 Speaker 1: their hand or that you give your word, that it matters, 412 00:22:31,640 --> 00:22:34,560 Speaker 1: and so they can trust that my word matters. Recently, 413 00:22:34,600 --> 00:22:37,960 Speaker 1: we had a situation where Congressman Frank Mervan attempted to 414 00:22:38,000 --> 00:22:41,280 Speaker 1: deny that he tried to illegally grab my military records 415 00:22:41,320 --> 00:22:43,760 Speaker 1: and use them to smear me, and then he lied 416 00:22:43,800 --> 00:22:46,480 Speaker 1: about it. But the facts clearly show that the group 417 00:22:46,840 --> 00:22:51,440 Speaker 1: Due Diligence on April first of this year illegally received 418 00:22:51,600 --> 00:22:55,880 Speaker 1: my information as an opposition research firm, and my opponent 419 00:22:55,920 --> 00:22:59,520 Speaker 1: has collaborated and done every ad he's done with the 420 00:22:59,600 --> 00:23:02,760 Speaker 1: Dems in the d Triple C and their oppo research 421 00:23:02,800 --> 00:23:05,919 Speaker 1: group is the firm that specifically attempted to send my 422 00:23:06,040 --> 00:23:08,679 Speaker 1: information to the media with an attempt to smear me. 423 00:23:09,040 --> 00:23:11,760 Speaker 1: And ultimately, at the end of the day, military member said, 424 00:23:12,240 --> 00:23:15,600 Speaker 1: that's absurd, we cannot trust him. He lied to us, 425 00:23:15,840 --> 00:23:18,040 Speaker 1: and ultimately at the end of the day, he attempted 426 00:23:18,040 --> 00:23:20,720 Speaker 1: to smear you. And so they're frustrated with his lack 427 00:23:20,720 --> 00:23:23,960 Speaker 1: of fidelity, lack of courage, lack of moral courage in 428 00:23:24,400 --> 00:23:26,760 Speaker 1: the face of just trying to get political gain, and 429 00:23:26,800 --> 00:23:30,160 Speaker 1: so they're very, very upset with him. Jennifer, what can 430 00:23:30,200 --> 00:23:33,480 Speaker 1: our audience do for you to ensure that you are 431 00:23:33,520 --> 00:23:37,679 Speaker 1: elected in six days? I appreciate it. Would you Number one, 432 00:23:37,720 --> 00:23:39,399 Speaker 1: pray for us? Would you pray that we would have 433 00:23:39,480 --> 00:23:42,440 Speaker 1: strength of character so that we would do what's right. 434 00:23:42,720 --> 00:23:44,600 Speaker 1: We need to make sure we take care of our country, 435 00:23:44,640 --> 00:23:46,920 Speaker 1: and prayer is a big part of that. Number two, 436 00:23:47,000 --> 00:23:50,520 Speaker 1: would you go to our website JRG dot cops. Would 437 00:23:50,520 --> 00:23:52,360 Speaker 1: you take a look and see if your values met 438 00:23:52,400 --> 00:23:54,200 Speaker 1: to our values? If you want America to be in 439 00:23:54,240 --> 00:23:57,080 Speaker 1: a place where on an international stage, we are ready 440 00:23:57,119 --> 00:23:59,199 Speaker 1: to go and we are not presented weekly like this 441 00:23:59,280 --> 00:24:03,800 Speaker 1: current administration wants to present us at or nationally. You 442 00:24:03,840 --> 00:24:06,080 Speaker 1: want to make sure that we have an economic surety 443 00:24:06,080 --> 00:24:09,640 Speaker 1: and security for your grandkids and generations to come. JRG 444 00:24:09,800 --> 00:24:12,680 Speaker 1: dot gop. Would you give to us? Would you help 445 00:24:12,760 --> 00:24:15,320 Speaker 1: us with that? The media market here is Chicago Land 446 00:24:15,760 --> 00:24:18,520 Speaker 1: very expensive. We're putting all of our additional money during 447 00:24:18,520 --> 00:24:20,840 Speaker 1: this critical time to make sure we can get our 448 00:24:20,880 --> 00:24:23,760 Speaker 1: message out. I did a commercial in Spanish and I'm 449 00:24:23,800 --> 00:24:26,000 Speaker 1: focused on making sure that we can talk to as 450 00:24:26,040 --> 00:24:29,640 Speaker 1: many people as possible to help them understand the gravity 451 00:24:29,640 --> 00:24:33,200 Speaker 1: of this election and get out. And so I think 452 00:24:33,200 --> 00:24:34,919 Speaker 1: the last thing I would ask is for people to 453 00:24:34,960 --> 00:24:37,240 Speaker 1: get out and vote. As a result of seeing all 454 00:24:37,240 --> 00:24:41,320 Speaker 1: of those different pieces and agreeing with them, Jennifer, we 455 00:24:41,400 --> 00:24:43,480 Speaker 1: are rooting for you. We'll have you back on. We're 456 00:24:43,480 --> 00:24:45,879 Speaker 1: going to talk about top gun Maverick, and we're going 457 00:24:45,920 --> 00:24:49,520 Speaker 1: to celebrate you headed to Congress, honored and humble. We're 458 00:24:49,560 --> 00:24:53,800 Speaker 1: gonna win six days. Thanks guys, Thanks so much. Bucks. 459 00:24:53,920 --> 00:24:57,120 Speaker 1: How good are you going to be a star? What? 460 00:24:57,720 --> 00:25:00,240 Speaker 1: I just how good are some of these candidates that? Yeah? 461 00:25:00,440 --> 00:25:02,080 Speaker 1: I mean you and I have both of the same reaction, 462 00:25:02,119 --> 00:25:07,960 Speaker 1: which is this group of Republican contenders that are you know, 463 00:25:08,040 --> 00:25:10,879 Speaker 1: first timers running for office is remarkable. We've had so 464 00:25:10,880 --> 00:25:14,720 Speaker 1: many of them on the show, and it's just there'd 465 00:25:14,760 --> 00:25:16,960 Speaker 1: be such an asset to the country. Honestly, it'd be 466 00:25:17,040 --> 00:25:19,639 Speaker 1: such a move in the right direction. And you know, 467 00:25:19,840 --> 00:25:22,399 Speaker 1: I think the people of Indiana's first congressional I think 468 00:25:22,400 --> 00:25:24,480 Speaker 1: they're going to get it done. I really do. Lots 469 00:25:24,520 --> 00:25:26,879 Speaker 1: of first round draft picks out there are coming into 470 00:25:27,080 --> 00:25:31,200 Speaker 1: this collection of congressmen and senators and governors, and I 471 00:25:31,200 --> 00:25:33,679 Speaker 1: can't wait six days from now to see all of 472 00:25:33,720 --> 00:25:36,119 Speaker 1: that come to fruition. Also want to tell you the 473 00:25:36,160 --> 00:25:39,280 Speaker 1: professors and administration at Hillsdale College go out of their 474 00:25:39,320 --> 00:25:42,760 Speaker 1: way to explain and defend our nation's freedoms. That's been 475 00:25:42,800 --> 00:25:46,520 Speaker 1: the college's mission since the mid eighteen hundreds. Now, when 476 00:25:46,560 --> 00:25:48,480 Speaker 1: I suggest they go out of their way, I mean 477 00:25:48,560 --> 00:25:52,560 Speaker 1: they don't just share their teaching in lecture halls, but 478 00:25:52,680 --> 00:25:55,640 Speaker 1: also in video courses online free for everybody to check out. 479 00:25:56,280 --> 00:26:00,760 Speaker 1: And they've developed more than two dozen courses using hyper duction, value, 480 00:26:00,840 --> 00:26:05,240 Speaker 1: smart conversations, and an effort to allow you to learn 481 00:26:05,840 --> 00:26:08,840 Speaker 1: eight to ten episodes in all episodes are about forty 482 00:26:08,840 --> 00:26:11,280 Speaker 1: minutes in length. You can watch them like you'd watch 483 00:26:11,280 --> 00:26:14,800 Speaker 1: any on demand series. In fact, if your kids are 484 00:26:14,880 --> 00:26:17,960 Speaker 1: like mine and as they are becoming teenagers, they learn 485 00:26:18,080 --> 00:26:21,080 Speaker 1: a lot by watching videos, you can also share it 486 00:26:21,119 --> 00:26:25,960 Speaker 1: with them because they're no tests, no strings attached, just 487 00:26:26,440 --> 00:26:30,160 Speaker 1: you have an opportunity to learn for the sake of learning. 488 00:26:30,560 --> 00:26:33,920 Speaker 1: Newest video course is all about what our founding fathers 489 00:26:33,920 --> 00:26:37,320 Speaker 1: had to say on topics like foreign policy. What was 490 00:26:37,359 --> 00:26:40,560 Speaker 1: said two hundred and fifty years ago. You'll be surprised 491 00:26:40,640 --> 00:26:43,359 Speaker 1: how applicable it is today as well. New course is 492 00:26:43,400 --> 00:26:47,240 Speaker 1: called The Real American Founding a Conversation.

They the first person they ask about about 504 00:27:37,720 --> 00:27:41,520 Speaker 1: there's about support for Patty Murray is a self described socialist. 505 00:27:42,080 --> 00:27:45,439 Speaker 1: Of course, no surprise in Washington, but I think we 506 00:27:45,680 --> 00:27:51,480 Speaker 1: have Oh yes, we have Tiffany Smiley with us. Now, Tiffany, 507 00:27:51,560 --> 00:27:54,960 Speaker 1: thanks for calling in, yesh, thanks for having me on. 508 00:27:55,000 --> 00:27:58,119 Speaker 1: I really appreciate it. So it is days away. The 509 00:27:58,200 --> 00:28:02,000 Speaker 1: New York Times is worried. Clay and I and all 510 00:28:02,040 --> 00:28:04,360 Speaker 1: of our friends across the country just want to hear 511 00:28:04,400 --> 00:28:07,720 Speaker 1: about why they should be so worried about this election, 512 00:28:08,200 --> 00:28:12,480 Speaker 1: what it's looking like right now, days away. Yeah, I 513 00:28:12,520 --> 00:28:15,440 Speaker 1: mean they should be whereing Senator Murray has failed Washington 514 00:28:15,520 --> 00:28:18,040 Speaker 1: State at every turn, and we truly have a message 515 00:28:18,040 --> 00:28:21,320 Speaker 1: of hope. How we can turn crisis into hope and 516 00:28:21,359 --> 00:28:24,320 Speaker 1: deliver results for all of Washington. I've been in all 517 00:28:24,359 --> 00:28:27,439 Speaker 1: thirty nine counties. I've listened to thousands of voters. And 518 00:28:27,520 --> 00:28:30,040 Speaker 1: you know, I'm on my statewide tour again and my 519 00:28:30,440 --> 00:28:34,080 Speaker 1: new mom and town bus, and we're meeting voters on 520 00:28:34,119 --> 00:28:36,439 Speaker 1: the ground. Hundreds and hundreds of people are coming to 521 00:28:36,520 --> 00:28:39,840 Speaker 1: our events. They're ready for change. You know, these aren't 522 00:28:39,880 --> 00:28:43,760 Speaker 1: Democrat to Republican issues, They're American issues. It's about delivering results. 523 00:28:43,760 --> 00:28:47,080 Speaker 1: And I think you know, even our debate, our town hall, 524 00:28:47,280 --> 00:28:50,240 Speaker 1: the choice the contract could not be clear. Do you 525 00:28:50,320 --> 00:28:52,400 Speaker 1: want someone who will go work for you or do 526 00:28:52,440 --> 00:28:54,840 Speaker 1: you want that same mole get along to go along, 527 00:28:55,320 --> 00:28:58,120 Speaker 1: do nothing. Patty Murray has only been able to get 528 00:28:58,240 --> 00:29:02,120 Speaker 1: nine bills across the line in thirty years Washingtonians are 529 00:29:02,120 --> 00:29:06,040 Speaker 1: waking up every day and they're ready for change, Tiffany. 530 00:29:06,120 --> 00:29:10,280 Speaker 1: We had Christine Drayson on yesterday. She's obviously just beneath 531 00:29:10,320 --> 00:29:12,840 Speaker 1: you there in the Pacific Northwest, and she is going 532 00:29:12,880 --> 00:29:16,480 Speaker 1: to believe, I believe when the governorship of Oregon for 533 00:29:16,520 --> 00:29:20,440 Speaker 1: the first time in forty years. You are similarly And 534 00:29:20,480 --> 00:29:22,680 Speaker 1: we talked with her. We said, you know, initially people 535 00:29:22,760 --> 00:29:25,560 Speaker 1: kind of just kind of don't really take you very seriously. 536 00:29:26,080 --> 00:29:29,120 Speaker 1: There's legitimate polls out there now that show you tied 537 00:29:29,320 --> 00:29:33,040 Speaker 1: even with Patty Murray with six days to go. How 538 00:29:33,080 --> 00:29:36,560 Speaker 1: has the Democrat response changed to you? As Buck mentioned, 539 00:29:36,760 --> 00:29:39,360 Speaker 1: the New York Times is now writing about your candidacy. 540 00:29:39,440 --> 00:29:42,000 Speaker 1: We saw the same thing happen with Christine. What is 541 00:29:42,040 --> 00:29:45,520 Speaker 1: it like for you to suddenly be taken seriously when 542 00:29:45,520 --> 00:29:47,600 Speaker 1: you've been working as hard as you can for months, 543 00:29:47,640 --> 00:29:50,920 Speaker 1: if not years, to get to this position. Yeah, yeah, 544 00:29:50,920 --> 00:29:52,440 Speaker 1: you know, I've been usin for a year and a half. 545 00:29:52,560 --> 00:29:54,960 Speaker 1: And when I got into this, I didn't need pulling 546 00:29:55,040 --> 00:29:56,920 Speaker 1: to know that I had a shot or there was 547 00:29:56,920 --> 00:29:59,880 Speaker 1: a pathway to victory. I didn't need a million dollars 548 00:30:00,040 --> 00:30:02,240 Speaker 1: accord behind me to know this was the right thing 549 00:30:02,280 --> 00:30:04,520 Speaker 1: to do. I did this because it was the right 550 00:30:04,520 --> 00:30:07,040 Speaker 1: thing to do. I've borne a grave here in Washington State. 551 00:30:07,080 --> 00:30:09,800 Speaker 1: I love this state, and I knew, just like other 552 00:30:09,840 --> 00:30:11,560 Speaker 1: times in my life, you know, when my husband was 553 00:30:11,600 --> 00:30:13,800 Speaker 1: blinded by a suicide car bomb, I knew the power 554 00:30:13,800 --> 00:30:17,040 Speaker 1: of building from the ground up, building bridges and building coalitions. 555 00:30:17,440 --> 00:30:20,200 Speaker 1: We've a coalesced the people of Washington State over the 556 00:30:20,240 --> 00:30:24,520 Speaker 1: last eighteen months, and so we're going to continue to 557 00:30:24,520 --> 00:30:26,560 Speaker 1: fight all the way through victory. We're not going to stop. 558 00:30:26,600 --> 00:30:29,040 Speaker 1: I'm still I still have multiple towns that I'm visiting 559 00:30:29,080 --> 00:30:32,080 Speaker 1: all across Washington State and sharing our moussage and our 560 00:30:32,160 --> 00:30:35,320 Speaker 1: vision of hope. I've just been laser focused on delivering 561 00:30:35,400 --> 00:30:38,160 Speaker 1: results and providing an option, you know, to the great 562 00:30:38,160 --> 00:30:41,040 Speaker 1: people of Washington State, and often that we'll bring hard 563 00:30:41,080 --> 00:30:45,080 Speaker 1: work and dedication. You know, I think it's clear Washington 564 00:30:45,160 --> 00:30:49,720 Speaker 1: State does not need seniority. We need motivation and principle. 565 00:30:50,160 --> 00:30:52,560 Speaker 1: And I tell every room when you send me to Washington, DC, 566 00:30:52,800 --> 00:30:54,880 Speaker 1: that's what I will bring to the halls of Congress. 567 00:30:55,640 --> 00:30:58,200 Speaker 1: So I'm in this for our country. I'm in this 568 00:30:58,320 --> 00:31:01,760 Speaker 1: for my children, for your children or grandchildren, for generations 569 00:31:01,760 --> 00:31:05,040 Speaker 1: to come. This never was about, you know, whether the 570 00:31:05,080 --> 00:31:06,920 Speaker 1: polling looks good or not. I knew what I was 571 00:31:06,960 --> 00:31:09,400 Speaker 1: willing to do, the work, build the bridges, and we 572 00:31:09,440 --> 00:31:12,000 Speaker 1: will win this race, and we will send a shockwave 573 00:31:12,080 --> 00:31:14,960 Speaker 1: from Washington State all the way to Washington, DC. As 574 00:31:15,040 --> 00:31:17,680 Speaker 1: time to get our country in this great state back 575 00:31:17,720 --> 00:31:20,600 Speaker 1: on track. We're speaking to Tiffany Smiley. She is running 576 00:31:20,760 --> 00:31:24,040 Speaker 1: a fantastic campaign for sending up in Washington State for 577 00:31:24,080 --> 00:31:28,400 Speaker 1: anyone who's joining us now. Tiffany Clay brought some of 578 00:31:28,520 --> 00:31:31,160 Speaker 1: it up yesterday and in some different races. That was 579 00:31:31,200 --> 00:31:34,200 Speaker 1: a pretty mind blowing. He asked me how much money 580 00:31:34,280 --> 00:31:38,320 Speaker 1: had been spent on the candidacy's of Stacy Abraham's Democrat 581 00:31:38,400 --> 00:31:40,320 Speaker 1: running in Georgia, who's going to lose by a lot, 582 00:31:40,520 --> 00:31:44,120 Speaker 1: and Beto O'Rourke Democrat in Texas. One hundred and fifty 583 00:31:44,160 --> 00:31:50,000 Speaker 1: million dollars spent on those two incredibly unsuccessful campaigns. What 584 00:31:50,120 --> 00:31:52,160 Speaker 1: kind of money are they throwing it? I got to assume. 585 00:31:52,200 --> 00:31:54,720 Speaker 1: I mean, the New York Times is putting up they're 586 00:31:54,760 --> 00:31:57,360 Speaker 1: putting up the SOS signal right now. They must be 587 00:31:57,440 --> 00:32:01,920 Speaker 1: throwing all kinds of stuff at you. What's going wrong. Yeah, 588 00:32:01,960 --> 00:32:04,040 Speaker 1: I mean, yes, I mean, Patty Murray is getting more 589 00:32:04,200 --> 00:32:06,840 Speaker 1: and more and more money every day. But but it's 590 00:32:06,880 --> 00:32:09,800 Speaker 1: clear that we're winning each day. Our team, we're mean, 591 00:32:09,920 --> 00:32:13,400 Speaker 1: we're mean, we're fighting. We're here for the people, and 592 00:32:13,440 --> 00:32:17,800 Speaker 1: we're winning every single day, from the messaging war to fundraising. 593 00:32:18,080 --> 00:32:19,560 Speaker 1: So you have a lot of moms, by the way, 594 00:32:19,600 --> 00:32:22,760 Speaker 1: who admits you to Tiffany that they have voted Democrat 595 00:32:22,840 --> 00:32:26,840 Speaker 1: in the past and now they're coming over to your side. Absolutely, 596 00:32:27,360 --> 00:32:29,840 Speaker 1: and especially the crime issue here in Washington State. I 597 00:32:29,880 --> 00:32:32,080 Speaker 1: was in Seattle a couple of saturdays ago speaking to 598 00:32:32,120 --> 00:32:34,320 Speaker 1: a room. They're Democrats and Independence in the room, and 599 00:32:34,520 --> 00:32:37,320 Speaker 1: they said, we've never felt more in safe in our communities. 600 00:32:37,320 --> 00:32:40,440 Speaker 1: And you know, we have our Patty versus public Safety 601 00:32:40,560 --> 00:32:42,440 Speaker 1: dot com. Anyone can go to it and see Patty 602 00:32:42,480 --> 00:32:45,760 Speaker 1: Murray stoft on crime policies that have destroyed and our 603 00:32:45,800 --> 00:32:49,320 Speaker 1: beautiful city all in Seattle and all across Washington State. 604 00:32:50,400 --> 00:32:53,240 Speaker 1: So as far as like you know, funding aren't honored, 605 00:32:53,240 --> 00:32:55,840 Speaker 1: and we've heavy lifted Washington State because I'm funded by 606 00:32:55,880 --> 00:32:58,520 Speaker 1: the people of Washington State. You know, over a year 607 00:32:58,560 --> 00:33:00,880 Speaker 1: ago people started paying its mention because of the amount 608 00:33:00,880 --> 00:33:02,800 Speaker 1: of money that were raising. It was the people of 609 00:33:02,920 --> 00:33:06,680 Speaker 1: Washington State that have led this and me and Patty 610 00:33:06,720 --> 00:33:09,760 Speaker 1: Murray's fundraising couldn't look more different. I'm honored to be 611 00:33:09,800 --> 00:33:11,720 Speaker 1: funded by the people of Washington State. This is a 612 00:33:11,840 --> 00:33:14,680 Speaker 1: Washington State up campaign and us exactly why we are 613 00:33:14,760 --> 00:33:18,720 Speaker 1: picking up and catching the momentum. I'm fascinated by this 614 00:33:18,800 --> 00:33:21,360 Speaker 1: question too, Tiffany. You're a mom, and we've been talking 615 00:33:21,400 --> 00:33:23,920 Speaker 1: to a lot of Republican moms. We had the moment 616 00:33:23,960 --> 00:33:27,240 Speaker 1: down in the Colorado debate where Heidigen all leaned into yeah, 617 00:33:27,280 --> 00:33:30,640 Speaker 1: I'm a mad mom over schools being shut down, over crime, 618 00:33:31,240 --> 00:33:35,200 Speaker 1: over all these different things that are infuriating I think 619 00:33:35,240 --> 00:33:38,560 Speaker 1: moms and dads. But as a mom on the campaign trail, 620 00:33:38,960 --> 00:33:40,560 Speaker 1: do you have to sit down with your kids at 621 00:33:40,560 --> 00:33:42,720 Speaker 1: some point and say, Hey, they're gonna say a lot 622 00:33:42,720 --> 00:33:46,479 Speaker 1: of crazy things about mom. And if so, what are 623 00:33:46,480 --> 00:33:50,480 Speaker 1: those conversations like for your kids, who I imagine are 624 00:33:50,520 --> 00:33:52,960 Speaker 1: now seeing you in a different light over the course 625 00:33:52,960 --> 00:33:56,200 Speaker 1: of this last year and a half campaign. Yeah? They 626 00:33:56,400 --> 00:33:58,480 Speaker 1: You know, our kids have always been involved in this campaign, 627 00:33:58,480 --> 00:34:00,680 Speaker 1: in this effort. I want them, you know, we always 628 00:34:00,720 --> 00:34:02,680 Speaker 1: teach them when you have the opportunity to do something 629 00:34:02,720 --> 00:34:04,600 Speaker 1: that's right, that you always do it, and you stand 630 00:34:04,680 --> 00:34:07,560 Speaker 1: up and do it with your heart and your soul 631 00:34:07,600 --> 00:34:09,560 Speaker 1: and everything that you have. And so they are seeing 632 00:34:09,560 --> 00:34:12,759 Speaker 1: our family once again stand up and serve just a 633 00:34:12,760 --> 00:34:15,480 Speaker 1: different type of service, you know, different than what their 634 00:34:15,520 --> 00:34:18,960 Speaker 1: father did. But obviously we are continuing to share our message. 635 00:34:19,000 --> 00:34:21,520 Speaker 1: And you know, our kids are very resilient. There are 636 00:34:21,520 --> 00:34:25,719 Speaker 1: three amazing little boys who had to learn, you know, 637 00:34:25,760 --> 00:34:28,040 Speaker 1: why their father is blind, and we had to describe 638 00:34:28,040 --> 00:34:30,279 Speaker 1: to them, you know, at a young age, Scotty's never 639 00:34:30,360 --> 00:34:32,600 Speaker 1: seen their faces. So they were all born after Scotty 640 00:34:32,719 --> 00:34:35,640 Speaker 1: was blind, that another human being tried to kill their father. 641 00:34:35,680 --> 00:34:38,080 Speaker 1: Instead of killing their father, he took his eyes and 642 00:34:38,120 --> 00:34:40,600 Speaker 1: all three of them cried and were hurt that another 643 00:34:40,680 --> 00:34:43,600 Speaker 1: human being would be so evil. So their perspective on 644 00:34:43,680 --> 00:34:47,560 Speaker 1: life is is much different. Our military kids are extremely resilient, 645 00:34:48,680 --> 00:34:50,760 Speaker 1: and so actually I have my youngest on the campaign 646 00:34:50,760 --> 00:34:53,759 Speaker 1: trail with me, going to different stops and we bring 647 00:34:53,800 --> 00:34:57,359 Speaker 1: them along with us, and you know, I want them 648 00:34:57,400 --> 00:34:59,480 Speaker 1: to know that freedom of speech is a thing. But 649 00:34:59,520 --> 00:35:01,879 Speaker 1: when you of your why, when you're convicting and you're 650 00:35:01,880 --> 00:35:05,200 Speaker 1: standing them and doing what's right that you always just 651 00:35:05,239 --> 00:35:08,440 Speaker 1: deliver that message. So our boys, uh, you know. It 652 00:35:08,520 --> 00:35:11,120 Speaker 1: was que the other night. I got home late and 653 00:35:11,160 --> 00:35:13,960 Speaker 1: I kissed Baylor, my youngest, and said, you're probably going 654 00:35:14,000 --> 00:35:15,719 Speaker 1: to leave in the morning, how mom? And I said, 655 00:35:15,760 --> 00:35:17,520 Speaker 1: guess I am, and even looked at me. He said, 656 00:35:17,560 --> 00:35:20,680 Speaker 1: you'd better win. So they certainly know what we're fighting 657 00:35:20,680 --> 00:35:23,360 Speaker 1: for and what we're doing across Washington State. And I 658 00:35:23,440 --> 00:35:26,759 Speaker 1: love bringing them along with me and showing them, you know, 659 00:35:26,840 --> 00:35:32,040 Speaker 1: just what leadership is and serving others. Well, I mean, yeah, yeah, 660 00:35:32,960 --> 00:35:37,120 Speaker 1: we got I've got three boys myself, and so I 661 00:35:37,160 --> 00:35:41,680 Speaker 1: saw your closing campaign ad with your husband and yourself 662 00:35:41,800 --> 00:35:46,640 Speaker 1: sitting speaking directly to the camera was incredibly powerful for 663 00:35:46,680 --> 00:35:49,399 Speaker 1: people who have not seeing that ad. Maybe we'll put 664 00:35:49,400 --> 00:35:51,680 Speaker 1: it up on Clay and Bucks so they can see it. 665 00:35:52,000 --> 00:35:54,320 Speaker 1: But whose idea was that, How did it come together? 666 00:35:54,360 --> 00:35:56,120 Speaker 1: And what has the response been to you and your 667 00:35:56,160 --> 00:35:59,200 Speaker 1: husband sitting there directly as you said, your husband blinded 668 00:35:59,239 --> 00:36:03,000 Speaker 1: during his service the country, directly addressing the camera. It's 669 00:36:03,080 --> 00:36:07,239 Speaker 1: really powerful for a lot of people. Yeah, no, thank you. 670 00:36:07,320 --> 00:36:10,680 Speaker 1: We we wanted to close together because we're doing this together. 671 00:36:11,239 --> 00:36:13,359 Speaker 1: You know, when we talked about getting into this race. 672 00:36:13,440 --> 00:36:16,719 Speaker 1: I had some reservations. We had finally just settled down. 673 00:36:16,760 --> 00:36:19,360 Speaker 1: We weren't moving with the military. Me and Scotty have 674 00:36:19,440 --> 00:36:22,520 Speaker 1: built a beautiful life, loved Swinton tears. It was worth it, 675 00:36:22,719 --> 00:36:25,840 Speaker 1: all of it. And it was Scottie who said, Tiffany, 676 00:36:25,920 --> 00:36:28,920 Speaker 1: there's one person who's gonna be at Patty Marian Washington State. 677 00:36:29,320 --> 00:36:31,239 Speaker 1: And I hate to tell you, honey, but it's you. 678 00:36:31,880 --> 00:36:33,960 Speaker 1: And he said, you know, you kicked me out of 679 00:36:34,000 --> 00:36:36,360 Speaker 1: that hospital bed and you believed in something better for 680 00:36:36,440 --> 00:36:39,799 Speaker 1: me and believe that I still had purpose, and he said, 681 00:36:39,880 --> 00:36:42,319 Speaker 1: go do that for Washington. So it's always the better 682 00:36:42,360 --> 00:36:47,359 Speaker 1: our whole family in this journey, and so we knew 683 00:36:47,360 --> 00:36:50,160 Speaker 1: we wanted to close it together and just really get 684 00:36:50,200 --> 00:36:52,520 Speaker 1: to the heart of why we are doing this. We 685 00:36:52,600 --> 00:36:56,000 Speaker 1: are doing this because we love this country. Scotti has 686 00:36:56,040 --> 00:36:59,359 Speaker 1: sacrificed greatly for this country. Like I mentioned, he's never 687 00:36:59,360 --> 00:37:01,719 Speaker 1: seen our chill in spaces, and so we wanted to 688 00:37:01,719 --> 00:37:04,040 Speaker 1: close it together and just share our heart. We're in 689 00:37:04,080 --> 00:37:07,480 Speaker 1: this because we want to leave our children in America 690 00:37:07,600 --> 00:37:10,640 Speaker 1: that is worth giving their eyesights for. And if the 691 00:37:10,640 --> 00:37:13,719 Speaker 1: answer is not six more years of Patty Murray, yeah, 692 00:37:13,760 --> 00:37:17,000 Speaker 1: Tiffany for the people listening, including on ten ninety the 693 00:37:17,040 --> 00:37:20,600 Speaker 1: Patriot KPTR in Seattle area and all across the state 694 00:37:20,600 --> 00:37:23,040 Speaker 1: of Washington.

Want 743 00:40:01,600 --> 00:40:04,919 Speaker 1: to hit you with some news that just came down. 744 00:40:05,000 --> 00:40:09,080 Speaker 1: The Federal Reserve has officially lifted interest rates by another 745 00:40:09,760 --> 00:40:16,280 Speaker 1: three quarter point rise. These are a series of unprecedented, 746 00:40:16,360 --> 00:40:21,240 Speaker 1: frankly interest rate rises which have led to the highest 747 00:40:21,400 --> 00:40:24,439 Speaker 1: mortgage rates in twenty years. Many of you out there 748 00:40:24,719 --> 00:40:28,000 Speaker 1: thing know of which I am speaking, over seven percent 749 00:40:28,120 --> 00:40:31,640 Speaker 1: now on the thirty year mortgage rate, with this rise 750 00:40:31,800 --> 00:40:36,200 Speaker 1: likely to be headed towards eight percent probably. So that 751 00:40:36,239 --> 00:40:40,840 Speaker 1: has just happened, as we are speaking with all of you, 752 00:40:41,719 --> 00:40:46,400 Speaker 1: also continuing to track six days out so many elections 753 00:40:46,520 --> 00:40:48,680 Speaker 1: all over the country, and we head up to the 754 00:40:48,719 --> 00:40:53,040 Speaker 1: Empire State now where we are joined by Leezelden, who 755 00:40:53,120 --> 00:40:57,200 Speaker 1: is giving Kathy Hokel all she wanted and more in 756 00:40:57,239 --> 00:41:01,279 Speaker 1: the race for the New York Governor's seat. And Lee, 757 00:41:01,320 --> 00:41:03,600 Speaker 1: we appreciate you joining us. You've been on with us 758 00:41:03,680 --> 00:41:08,880 Speaker 1: a few times before. Congratulations on the momentum. What needs 759 00:41:08,880 --> 00:41:11,680 Speaker 1: to happen between now an election day for you to 760 00:41:11,880 --> 00:41:15,840 Speaker 1: win and kick Kathy Hokel out of the governor's mansion 761 00:41:15,880 --> 00:41:19,759 Speaker 1: in Albany. We need everybody to vote, and you know 762 00:41:19,800 --> 00:41:22,880 Speaker 1: it seems so simple, but we're going into a midterm 763 00:41:23,080 --> 00:41:27,320 Speaker 1: and we need presidential level turnout wherever we can possibly 764 00:41:27,400 --> 00:41:30,680 Speaker 1: pull that out. That means that everybody needs to tell 765 00:41:30,719 --> 00:41:36,000 Speaker 1: everyone they know, taking nothing for granted, friends, family, neighbors, strangers, coworkers, 766 00:41:36,000 --> 00:41:39,440 Speaker 1: on social media, emails, text, word of mouth for the 767 00:41:39,480 --> 00:41:42,680 Speaker 1: next six days. These are long days. If you start 768 00:41:42,719 --> 00:41:46,319 Speaker 1: early and end late and actually dedicate the bandwidth doing this, 769 00:41:47,120 --> 00:41:49,759 Speaker 1: you might think, as one person, well, what kind of 770 00:41:49,800 --> 00:41:52,839 Speaker 1: a difference can I make? This is all about what 771 00:41:52,880 --> 00:41:56,080 Speaker 1: everybody does together and how that adds up. So there 772 00:41:56,120 --> 00:42:00,440 Speaker 1: are millions of New Yorkers counting on you. Who's whoever's 773 00:42:00,440 --> 00:42:03,480 Speaker 1: out there listening to do your part. We're all counting 774 00:42:03,520 --> 00:42:06,279 Speaker 1: on each other, and we have all of the momentum, 775 00:42:06,280 --> 00:42:08,400 Speaker 1: we have all the energy, we have the issues on 776 00:42:08,400 --> 00:42:11,959 Speaker 1: our side. They said that this was impossible. This race 777 00:42:12,040 --> 00:42:14,680 Speaker 1: right now is a dead heat or falgar. Yesterday Morton said, 778 00:42:14,680 --> 00:42:17,319 Speaker 1: we're up one. Let's call it a dead heat. We 779 00:42:17,360 --> 00:42:21,400 Speaker 1: need to make sure I mean impersonally voting as are 780 00:42:21,480 --> 00:42:25,800 Speaker 1: he started, take nothing for granted, maybe even mentality. Should 781 00:42:25,800 --> 00:42:28,600 Speaker 1: we think like you're even behind? And if we close 782 00:42:28,719 --> 00:42:31,000 Speaker 1: this out strong, we're going to be winning this race 783 00:42:31,040 --> 00:42:33,759 Speaker 1: on Tuesday, making a history. New York is at a 784 00:42:33,760 --> 00:42:36,439 Speaker 1: crossroads right here. Last time we were at this place, 785 00:42:36,560 --> 00:42:40,520 Speaker 1: nineteen ninety four, New York ellected George Pataki and with 786 00:42:40,640 --> 00:42:43,080 Speaker 1: all apologies to Prince, I think New York is read 787 00:42:43,080 --> 00:42:46,279 Speaker 1: at a party like it's nineteen ninety four. I think 788 00:42:46,280 --> 00:42:48,520 Speaker 1: you're on to something there, Lee. It's buck And as 789 00:42:48,560 --> 00:42:50,560 Speaker 1: you know, I was born and raised in the city 790 00:42:50,640 --> 00:42:55,319 Speaker 1: and have been a lifelong New Yorker, and I know 791 00:42:55,360 --> 00:42:58,040 Speaker 1: what it's like when it turns around. That was one 792 00:42:58,040 --> 00:43:00,680 Speaker 1: of the things that was so amazing about New York City, 793 00:43:00,719 --> 00:43:04,799 Speaker 1: and then of course the ramification statewide was that when 794 00:43:04,800 --> 00:43:07,320 Speaker 1: you had better governance, when you had backing for police, 795 00:43:07,320 --> 00:43:09,239 Speaker 1: when you had a pro business climate, when you had 796 00:43:09,239 --> 00:43:13,279 Speaker 1: saved streets, it it just had reverberations and you could 797 00:43:13,360 --> 00:43:15,520 Speaker 1: feel it. You were aware of it. I was aware 798 00:43:15,520 --> 00:43:17,600 Speaker 1: of it certainly from the early nineties into the early 799 00:43:17,640 --> 00:43:19,799 Speaker 1: two thousands of transformation. I think you can be a 800 00:43:19,800 --> 00:43:22,600 Speaker 1: part of that, the beginning of that statewide, and for 801 00:43:22,640 --> 00:43:28,680 Speaker 1: our listeners in WGY Albany, WHA M, Rochester, wsy R, Syracuse, WLVL, 802 00:43:28,760 --> 00:43:32,719 Speaker 1: Buffalo and of course WR NYC and other stations. I 803 00:43:32,760 --> 00:43:34,359 Speaker 1: can't name all of them all across the state because 804 00:43:34,360 --> 00:43:38,200 Speaker 1: we've got so many. What is it exactly that Kathy 805 00:43:38,280 --> 00:43:40,920 Speaker 1: Hokel stands for when it comes to the crime issue. 806 00:43:41,400 --> 00:43:44,799 Speaker 1: Is it that there is no crime problem, or that 807 00:43:44,920 --> 00:43:47,319 Speaker 1: Democrats are doing a great job on the prime a 808 00:43:47,360 --> 00:43:51,440 Speaker 1: crime problem, or that talking about the crime problem is 809 00:43:52,440 --> 00:43:54,759 Speaker 1: a problem in itself. I'm not clear on it. I'm 810 00:43:54,800 --> 00:43:59,160 Speaker 1: wondering if you could help elucidate this well. Last week 811 00:43:59,200 --> 00:44:01,799 Speaker 1: it a debate when I was talking about the need 812 00:44:02,360 --> 00:44:05,400 Speaker 1: to be locking up the bad guys. She could have 813 00:44:05,440 --> 00:44:08,319 Speaker 1: taken it as a hint a clue and say, oh, yeah, 814 00:44:08,360 --> 00:44:10,719 Speaker 1: that's right, and then get to that part of the 815 00:44:10,800 --> 00:44:13,920 Speaker 1: answering questions on how to fight crime. But instead she 816 00:44:14,000 --> 00:44:16,880 Speaker 1: said she doesn't understand why that is so important to me. 817 00:44:16,920 --> 00:44:19,319 Speaker 1: And when she says that she doesn't understand why that's 818 00:44:19,320 --> 00:44:21,520 Speaker 1: so important to me, she's saying that she doesn't understand 819 00:44:21,800 --> 00:44:24,560 Speaker 1: why that's so important in New Yorkers. This past weekend, 820 00:44:24,920 --> 00:44:27,920 Speaker 1: she was on MSNBC with Al Sharpton, and she was 821 00:44:27,960 --> 00:44:31,640 Speaker 1: saying that our efforts to fight crime, talking about the 822 00:44:31,800 --> 00:44:35,600 Speaker 1: rising crime on our streets and holding weak prosecutors accountable, 823 00:44:35,880 --> 00:44:39,520 Speaker 1: the prosecutors were letting violent criminals run free. She's saying 824 00:44:39,520 --> 00:44:44,200 Speaker 1: that that's a conspiracy. She's saying that we are data deniers. Well, 825 00:44:44,320 --> 00:44:46,840 Speaker 1: I mean she must be denying all sorts of crime 826 00:44:46,840 --> 00:44:49,359 Speaker 1: in order to come up with that logic, because all 827 00:44:49,440 --> 00:44:52,960 Speaker 1: sorts of major crime stats are up, and we're not 828 00:44:53,000 --> 00:44:55,920 Speaker 1: talking about up two or three points. There's all different 829 00:44:55,920 --> 00:44:59,640 Speaker 1: categories up over thirty percent year over year from last 830 00:44:59,719 --> 00:45:03,200 Speaker 1: year to what she wants. It's for everybody to just 831 00:45:03,320 --> 00:45:05,640 Speaker 1: look away. There's nothing to see here. This is a 832 00:45:05,719 --> 00:45:08,840 Speaker 1: perception she doesn't want us talking about crime. But the 833 00:45:08,920 --> 00:45:12,239 Speaker 1: problem is is that New Yorkers not only believe what 834 00:45:12,320 --> 00:45:14,760 Speaker 1: they see with their own eyes and the videos of stories, 835 00:45:15,000 --> 00:45:17,920 Speaker 1: what they hear from others, what they see in the 836 00:45:17,960 --> 00:45:22,560 Speaker 1: news reports. They are demanding that the governor be strong 837 00:45:22,680 --> 00:45:26,440 Speaker 1: on crime, and instead what they're getting is a lecture 838 00:45:27,040 --> 00:45:32,160 Speaker 1: they're being dismissed. Really, Kathy Holkley has alienated herself from 839 00:45:32,200 --> 00:45:35,600 Speaker 1: everybody because instead of saying this is the issue that's 840 00:45:35,640 --> 00:45:39,160 Speaker 1: on the ground, these are my solutions to actually solve it, 841 00:45:39,200 --> 00:45:41,400 Speaker 1: and I am all in doing everything in my power 842 00:45:41,520 --> 00:45:44,239 Speaker 1: with zero tolerance for failure, to make sure that we 843 00:45:44,280 --> 00:45:47,759 Speaker 1: take back our streets. Kind of passed it all up, 844 00:45:48,200 --> 00:45:51,160 Speaker 1: and now she's ceded this ground. So there are all 845 00:45:51,160 --> 00:45:54,040 Speaker 1: sorts of Democrats and independence out there who now come 846 00:45:54,080 --> 00:45:55,960 Speaker 1: up to me and say that they're a Democrat. They've 847 00:45:55,960 --> 00:45:58,879 Speaker 1: always voted Democrats their entire life, but this year they're 848 00:45:58,920 --> 00:46:02,279 Speaker 1: voting for me. We have to take our streets, beat Lee. 849 00:46:02,320 --> 00:46:04,279 Speaker 1: One of the funniest attacks I've seen on you is 850 00:46:04,320 --> 00:46:08,399 Speaker 1: that your anti anti semitic. I'll let you. I'll let 851 00:46:08,440 --> 00:46:11,600 Speaker 1: you handle that one. But you mentioned a lot of 852 00:46:11,600 --> 00:46:17,120 Speaker 1: traditional Democrat voters, Asians, Hispanics, black voters, a lot of 853 00:46:17,200 --> 00:46:20,319 Speaker 1: Jewish voters. They are fed up with the situation on 854 00:46:20,360 --> 00:46:24,520 Speaker 1: the ground in New York. Obviously, Republicans listening right now 855 00:46:24,800 --> 00:46:27,680 Speaker 1: need to support you. But how much have you been 856 00:46:27,680 --> 00:46:33,000 Speaker 1: gratified to see independence and also Democrats coming into your campaign. 857 00:46:34,239 --> 00:46:36,480 Speaker 1: Oh it's been amazing. I mean, we've been getting a 858 00:46:36,560 --> 00:46:41,480 Speaker 1: lot of support in from a lot yesterday, slew of 859 00:46:41,560 --> 00:46:48,040 Speaker 1: influential endorsements from the Orthodox Jewish community in Brooklyn. We 860 00:46:48,360 --> 00:46:51,520 Speaker 1: have strong support coming in from the Dominican community. It's 861 00:46:51,560 --> 00:46:55,200 Speaker 1: a big population. They had Jose Alba as you remember 862 00:46:55,239 --> 00:46:57,040 Speaker 1: a few months ago, one of their own working in 863 00:46:57,080 --> 00:47:00,359 Speaker 1: a bodega, gets attacked. He has to defend himself, clear 864 00:47:00,400 --> 00:47:03,320 Speaker 1: cut case of self defense. Alvin Bragg throws them in 865 00:47:03,360 --> 00:47:05,879 Speaker 1: a riker's island with an open stab wound, slaps them 866 00:47:05,880 --> 00:47:08,480 Speaker 1: with a murder charge, and ask for hundreds of thousands 867 00:47:08,480 --> 00:47:11,319 Speaker 1: of dollars in bail. I've spent a lot of time 868 00:47:11,360 --> 00:47:14,040 Speaker 1: with the Asian American community, and from education to their 869 00:47:14,080 --> 00:47:17,239 Speaker 1: desire to fight crime. People in their own community are 870 00:47:17,280 --> 00:47:22,279 Speaker 1: being murdered because of raw, violent anti Asian hate. I've 871 00:47:22,320 --> 00:47:24,359 Speaker 1: spent a lot of time with the black community as well, 872 00:47:24,400 --> 00:47:26,680 Speaker 1: and I'll tell you that there's a big enthusiasm gap. 873 00:47:27,040 --> 00:47:30,839 Speaker 1: Nobody loves Kathy hokel. There are people out there who 874 00:47:30,880 --> 00:47:36,240 Speaker 1: are registered Democrats who know they're not independent. They don't 875 00:47:36,880 --> 00:47:40,080 Speaker 1: question this move of the party to the far left. 876 00:47:40,160 --> 00:47:41,960 Speaker 1: I get that, But there are a whole lot of 877 00:47:41,960 --> 00:47:45,360 Speaker 1: other Democrats who are disenfranchised Democrats. They feel like the 878 00:47:45,400 --> 00:47:47,720 Speaker 1: parties left them. They want to get tough on crime. 879 00:47:48,080 --> 00:47:50,880 Speaker 1: There are Democrats in New York City who registered Democrat 880 00:47:50,960 --> 00:47:53,920 Speaker 1: because that's what you do in New York City, they say, 881 00:47:54,080 --> 00:47:56,359 Speaker 1: and they want their vote to count, and they feel 882 00:47:56,360 --> 00:47:57,839 Speaker 1: like in order to make their vote count, they need 883 00:47:57,840 --> 00:47:59,680 Speaker 1: to be able to vote in a Democratic primary for 884 00:47:59,719 --> 00:48:03,600 Speaker 1: them normal option, if they're given a normal option. So 885 00:48:03,680 --> 00:48:04,960 Speaker 1: all of this adds up. We need to get at 886 00:48:05,000 --> 00:48:07,240 Speaker 1: least thirty percent of the vote inside of New York City. 887 00:48:07,840 --> 00:48:09,960 Speaker 1: You know, we have no shot of winning if we 888 00:48:10,000 --> 00:48:13,120 Speaker 1: get less than thirty percent. If you get thirty five 889 00:48:13,160 --> 00:48:15,760 Speaker 1: percent or more inside of New York City, it starts 890 00:48:15,800 --> 00:48:19,680 Speaker 1: to become very difficult to lose. In each additional point, 891 00:48:19,760 --> 00:48:23,359 Speaker 1: that becomes more and more unlikely. And we've been consistently 892 00:48:23,480 --> 00:48:25,680 Speaker 1: polling in the load a mid thirties. Some polls have 893 00:48:25,760 --> 00:48:29,040 Speaker 1: shown us even in the high thirties. If we're able 894 00:48:29,080 --> 00:48:31,440 Speaker 1: to get thirty five percent or more inside of New 895 00:48:31,520 --> 00:48:33,839 Speaker 1: York City, I don't see how we lose this race. 896 00:48:34,200 --> 00:48:36,440 Speaker 1: So we've been working it hard, and it's been great 897 00:48:36,480 --> 00:48:39,600 Speaker 1: to see how many people who have voted Democrat always 898 00:48:39,600 --> 00:48:43,200 Speaker 1: in their life or supporting us, and included Democratic elected officials, 899 00:48:43,719 --> 00:48:48,399 Speaker 1: former Democratic elected officials, Democrat community leaders, and they've been 900 00:48:48,480 --> 00:48:51,000 Speaker 1: all courageous and stepping out and saying, you know what, 901 00:48:51,080 --> 00:48:53,160 Speaker 1: I don't I don't care whether or not I'm one 902 00:48:53,200 --> 00:48:55,880 Speaker 1: party and he's another party. We're working together as New 903 00:48:55,960 --> 00:48:57,759 Speaker 1: Yorkers to be able to save this city and save 904 00:48:57,800 --> 00:49:01,239 Speaker 1: the state. We're speaking of Lazelden. He is in an 905 00:49:01,280 --> 00:49:06,319 Speaker 1: absolutely critical fight for the governor's race governor's mansion rather 906 00:49:06,440 --> 00:49:10,040 Speaker 1: in New York and Lee, you're talking about New York 907 00:49:10,040 --> 00:49:13,600 Speaker 1: City obviously the town that I know very well. And 908 00:49:14,719 --> 00:49:16,440 Speaker 1: I want to know what you can say to people 909 00:49:16,520 --> 00:49:19,799 Speaker 1: listening in New York and it's environs, right because to me, 910 00:49:19,880 --> 00:49:21,879 Speaker 1: there's there's the residence of New York City, but there's 911 00:49:21,880 --> 00:49:24,799 Speaker 1: the commuters, there's the people to live, you know, within 912 00:49:24,840 --> 00:49:26,960 Speaker 1: a couple of hours, who will drive in for a 913 00:49:27,000 --> 00:49:30,040 Speaker 1: weekend or to see a show or a ballgame or whatever. 914 00:49:30,760 --> 00:49:33,960 Speaker 1: To those people, what can you tell us will be different? 915 00:49:34,000 --> 00:49:36,360 Speaker 1: Because obviously you're running for the governor, not for the 916 00:49:37,040 --> 00:49:40,759 Speaker 1: mayor's office. What can the governor do day one to 917 00:49:40,960 --> 00:49:44,040 Speaker 1: change the trajectory and start to make things better in 918 00:49:44,160 --> 00:49:46,440 Speaker 1: New York City? Because again I saw it, I know 919 00:49:46,520 --> 00:49:48,759 Speaker 1: you know what I'm talking about. When New York City 920 00:49:48,800 --> 00:49:51,600 Speaker 1: gets fixed, the rest of the state tends to follow. 921 00:49:53,440 --> 00:49:55,480 Speaker 1: The first thing I will do the first day that 922 00:49:55,520 --> 00:49:57,680 Speaker 1: I'm sworn into office is tell them hend this for you. 923 00:49:57,719 --> 00:50:01,000 Speaker 1: Attorney Albun Bragg that he's being removed for his refusal 924 00:50:01,080 --> 00:50:03,759 Speaker 1: to enforce the law. We don't have recall elections in 925 00:50:03,760 --> 00:50:07,040 Speaker 1: New York, but the governor has the constitutional authority to 926 00:50:07,080 --> 00:50:09,959 Speaker 1: remove a district attorney who refuses to enforce the law. 927 00:50:10,320 --> 00:50:13,680 Speaker 1: And Alvin Bragg is refusing to do his job. I'm 928 00:50:13,719 --> 00:50:16,520 Speaker 1: going to declare a crime emergency on day one. I 929 00:50:16,520 --> 00:50:20,319 Speaker 1: will suspend New York's Castle's bad Law all to act 930 00:50:20,440 --> 00:50:22,680 Speaker 1: raise the age less is more than the discovery law 931 00:50:22,760 --> 00:50:26,240 Speaker 1: changes to force the state legislature to come to the table. 932 00:50:26,840 --> 00:50:29,600 Speaker 1: They're indicating right now that they're not going to come 933 00:50:29,600 --> 00:50:31,640 Speaker 1: to the table. Well, we have to bring them to 934 00:50:31,719 --> 00:50:34,880 Speaker 1: the table. The governor has the legal authority to do so, 935 00:50:35,000 --> 00:50:38,000 Speaker 1: and there is a crime emergency. So I'm declaring the 936 00:50:38,080 --> 00:50:41,520 Speaker 1: obvious and I'm taking action starting on day one. We 937 00:50:41,600 --> 00:50:43,439 Speaker 1: have to roll back some of these pro criminal laws 938 00:50:43,440 --> 00:50:45,319 Speaker 1: have been passed. We have to stop passing new pro 939 00:50:45,360 --> 00:50:48,520 Speaker 1: criminal laws. We need our district attorneys enforcing the law, 940 00:50:48,560 --> 00:50:51,920 Speaker 1: and we need to support unapologetically our selfless men and 941 00:50:51,960 --> 00:50:54,240 Speaker 1: women in law enforcement. We should pass the Law Enforcement 942 00:50:54,280 --> 00:50:56,520 Speaker 1: Bill of Rights. We should push back on this attack 943 00:50:56,600 --> 00:50:59,919 Speaker 1: unqualified immunity for law enforcement. We put out a plan 944 00:51:00,000 --> 00:51:03,040 Speaker 1: and last year our Secure Streets plan on our website 945 00:51:03,120 --> 00:51:06,880 Speaker 1: zelden for New York dot Com slash Secure our Streets. 946 00:51:06,880 --> 00:51:10,840 Speaker 1: It's a couple of a dozen different proposals, and we 947 00:51:10,880 --> 00:51:12,520 Speaker 1: just want to hit the ground running on day one 948 00:51:12,560 --> 00:51:15,440 Speaker 1: where people realize that law binding New Yorkers are back 949 00:51:15,480 --> 00:51:19,359 Speaker 1: in control of these streets again. Lee, certainly there's an 950 00:51:19,360 --> 00:51:22,920 Speaker 1: all points bulletin out Democrats are panicked. New York Times 951 00:51:22,960 --> 00:51:26,600 Speaker 1: is covering it. New York Daily News. Your rise and 952 00:51:26,719 --> 00:51:30,319 Speaker 1: the threat that your victory could bring to bear. As 953 00:51:30,320 --> 00:51:33,440 Speaker 1: a result, they're bringing out a lot of Democrats speakers, 954 00:51:33,600 --> 00:51:37,719 Speaker 1: Hillary Clinton among them. Am I crazy? Or when they 955 00:51:37,760 --> 00:51:40,760 Speaker 1: trot out Hillary Clinton and Joe Biden? Does it actually 956 00:51:40,800 --> 00:51:43,920 Speaker 1: almost work as an advertisement for your campaign when you 957 00:51:43,960 --> 00:51:48,160 Speaker 1: see who they're bringing in as sort of these these surrogates, 958 00:51:48,400 --> 00:51:50,560 Speaker 1: Are you looking around saying, this just proves the case 959 00:51:50,600 --> 00:51:52,880 Speaker 1: that I'm making even better maybe than I'm making it. 960 00:51:55,120 --> 00:51:58,720 Speaker 1: Tomorrow she has a rally in Sido, Manhattan with Kamala 961 00:51:58,760 --> 00:52:03,960 Speaker 1: Harris and Hillary Clinton. And this is an election where 962 00:52:04,160 --> 00:52:07,800 Speaker 1: New Yorkers have decided that they're unhappy with the direction 963 00:52:07,840 --> 00:52:10,879 Speaker 1: of the state. They're unhappy with the status quo. They 964 00:52:10,920 --> 00:52:12,319 Speaker 1: want to go a different way. They want to go 965 00:52:12,400 --> 00:52:16,560 Speaker 1: tough on crime, they are willing to cross party lines 966 00:52:16,560 --> 00:52:21,680 Speaker 1: and support a Republican And you can't have a rally 967 00:52:21,760 --> 00:52:24,920 Speaker 1: speech of Hillary Clinton and Kamala Harris. That's don't be 968 00:52:25,320 --> 00:52:30,120 Speaker 1: convincing people who are still making their minds up that 969 00:52:30,800 --> 00:52:34,719 Speaker 1: if you vote for Kathy Hokel that New York suddenly 970 00:52:34,800 --> 00:52:37,680 Speaker 1: is going to start going in a different direction. There's 971 00:52:37,719 --> 00:52:40,200 Speaker 1: just too many New Yorkers who feel like the state 972 00:52:40,280 --> 00:52:42,719 Speaker 1: is heading in the wrong direction. And these are not 973 00:52:42,840 --> 00:52:49,560 Speaker 1: surrogates who represent positive change. These people are, especially Kamala 974 00:52:49,920 --> 00:52:55,160 Speaker 1: Harris is capable tomorrow of making statements. Kathy Hokel is 975 00:52:55,200 --> 00:52:59,440 Speaker 1: capable of making statements that end up giving their rally 976 00:52:59,480 --> 00:53:02,400 Speaker 1: attention for all of the wrong reasons. And you know, 977 00:53:02,440 --> 00:53:05,560 Speaker 1: we'll see how it goes. But what kind of remarks 978 00:53:05,680 --> 00:53:08,080 Speaker 1: really are going to come out of Kamala Harris and 979 00:53:08,160 --> 00:53:12,239 Speaker 1: Hillary Clinton's mouth tomorrow. That's going to be, you know, 980 00:53:12,280 --> 00:53:14,840 Speaker 1: convincing people. Oh, man, I guess we should vote for 981 00:53:15,320 --> 00:53:19,799 Speaker 1: Kathy Hokel because Kamala Harris said so. Lee, We've got 982 00:53:19,800 --> 00:53:22,480 Speaker 1: a lot of New Yorkers listening right now. We know 983 00:53:22,640 --> 00:53:25,239 Speaker 1: that they need to vote for you. Anything else they 984 00:53:25,239 --> 00:53:28,239 Speaker 1: can do, where should they go?
