1 00:00:01,840 --> 00:00:05,920 Speaker 1: This is twenty four a weekly highlight reel from the Clay, 2 00:00:05,960 --> 00:00:10,200 Speaker 1: Travis and Buck Sexton Show featuring all things the election coverage. 3 00:00:10,680 --> 00:00:13,440 Speaker 2: Let's get started. Here are Clay and Buck. 4 00:00:15,600 --> 00:00:20,080 Speaker 3: Dominant win for Donald Trump to Santas second, Nikki Hayley, Third, 5 00:00:20,520 --> 00:00:24,840 Speaker 3: Viveke Ramaswami for the Veke drops out last night, and 6 00:00:24,920 --> 00:00:27,639 Speaker 3: now we have a three way race. Although both Buck 7 00:00:27,640 --> 00:00:31,080 Speaker 3: and myself believe this race is over. Trump is going 8 00:00:31,160 --> 00:00:35,479 Speaker 3: to be the nominee. The people of Iowa spoke loudly 9 00:00:35,640 --> 00:00:38,960 Speaker 3: and clearly, thirty point win for Donald Trump. 10 00:00:39,080 --> 00:00:41,200 Speaker 2: Now, this is going to be big. 11 00:00:42,120 --> 00:00:45,559 Speaker 3: All of you out there, the millions of you in 12 00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:49,960 Speaker 3: this listening audience, are going to be exposed to the 13 00:00:50,000 --> 00:00:54,320 Speaker 3: whole truth of the twenty twenty four presidential campaign. We're 14 00:00:54,360 --> 00:00:58,200 Speaker 3: not just going to play you talking points from the 15 00:00:58,240 --> 00:01:01,880 Speaker 3: Trump side. We want you to be well versed in 16 00:01:02,520 --> 00:01:08,040 Speaker 3: all talking points because it's important for us who believe 17 00:01:08,120 --> 00:01:11,120 Speaker 3: that Joe Biden must be beaten. Buck is in that camp. 18 00:01:11,240 --> 00:01:14,679 Speaker 3: I'm in that camp. Virtually every person that is listening 19 00:01:14,720 --> 00:01:17,000 Speaker 3: to this show right now is in this camp. But 20 00:01:17,120 --> 00:01:19,120 Speaker 3: you have friends and family who aren't in that camp. 21 00:01:20,120 --> 00:01:23,440 Speaker 3: You've got an aunt who maybe voted for Trump in 22 00:01:23,480 --> 00:01:26,720 Speaker 3: twenty sixteen, and she flipped and voted for Joe Biden 23 00:01:26,760 --> 00:01:30,920 Speaker 3: in twenty twenty because she didn't like Trump's tweets. You've 24 00:01:30,959 --> 00:01:36,000 Speaker 3: got a son or daughter who refuses to vote for 25 00:01:36,120 --> 00:01:40,480 Speaker 3: Donald Trump even though they know that Joe Biden is 26 00:01:40,520 --> 00:01:45,320 Speaker 3: doing an awful job. Every single one of us, a coworker, 27 00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:52,600 Speaker 3: a relative, every single one of us a friend, has 28 00:01:52,640 --> 00:01:53,559 Speaker 3: people in that camp. 29 00:01:55,280 --> 00:01:56,240 Speaker 2: You don't win. 30 00:01:57,840 --> 00:02:01,400 Speaker 3: Comfortably as we all want to do in twenty twenty 31 00:02:01,400 --> 00:02:03,880 Speaker 3: four just by speaking to the base. 32 00:02:04,400 --> 00:02:05,000 Speaker 2: That's what the. 33 00:02:04,960 --> 00:02:08,240 Speaker 3: Primary is about. The primary is now in our opinion 34 00:02:08,360 --> 00:02:11,320 Speaker 3: over Trump is going to be the nominee. 35 00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:13,680 Speaker 2: How do we make it such. 36 00:02:13,480 --> 00:02:18,440 Speaker 3: That by eleven o'clock Eastern on election Night in November, 37 00:02:19,520 --> 00:02:23,320 Speaker 3: Rachel Maddow is crying on air? How do we make 38 00:02:23,360 --> 00:02:27,880 Speaker 3: it that Jake Tapper is in tears, that every CNN 39 00:02:27,919 --> 00:02:31,960 Speaker 3: and MSNBC viewer is distraught, and we don't have to 40 00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:35,880 Speaker 3: wait for three am ballot dumps to change anything, because 41 00:02:35,919 --> 00:02:39,720 Speaker 3: the landslide is so clear. Nothing can change it. Well, 42 00:02:39,880 --> 00:02:45,560 Speaker 3: you have to penetrate sometimes through what is a cone 43 00:02:46,200 --> 00:02:51,440 Speaker 3: and isolation, an island of dishonesty, which is what's going 44 00:02:51,480 --> 00:02:55,119 Speaker 3: on at MSNBC and CNN, and most of you probably 45 00:02:55,120 --> 00:02:57,680 Speaker 3: were not watching MSNBC or CNN last night. 46 00:02:57,760 --> 00:03:00,640 Speaker 4: Can you listen over at all, Buck? Yeah, well, I 47 00:03:00,720 --> 00:03:03,840 Speaker 4: certainly was looking. I'd scroll through Twitter to find their clips. 48 00:03:03,840 --> 00:03:07,480 Speaker 4: But as a general pro tip, when Republicans are kicking 49 00:03:07,520 --> 00:03:10,840 Speaker 4: butt on election night, turn on CNNA. And I know 50 00:03:10,880 --> 00:03:13,040 Speaker 4: it wasn't against a Democrat, but you know they're terrified 51 00:03:13,080 --> 00:03:17,320 Speaker 4: of Trump. The best viewing experience is to watch all 52 00:03:17,360 --> 00:03:21,560 Speaker 4: the blood drained from the faces of CNN and MSNBC hosts, 53 00:03:21,600 --> 00:03:25,000 Speaker 4: for their jaws to hit the table, for the crying 54 00:03:25,080 --> 00:03:27,280 Speaker 4: to begin. That's really entertainment. 55 00:03:28,000 --> 00:03:28,400 Speaker 2: Okay. 56 00:03:28,480 --> 00:03:31,920 Speaker 3: So I want you, though, to be aware of what 57 00:03:32,400 --> 00:03:36,360 Speaker 3: those people that you're trying to persuade may be seen. 58 00:03:37,440 --> 00:03:42,920 Speaker 3: This was MSNBC last night as Donald Trump was preparing 59 00:03:43,000 --> 00:03:47,720 Speaker 3: to give his victory speech. Listen to what MSNBC's viewers 60 00:03:48,160 --> 00:03:49,600 Speaker 3: heard from Rachel Maddow. 61 00:03:49,840 --> 00:03:52,920 Speaker 5: At this point in the evening, the projected winner of 62 00:03:52,920 --> 00:03:56,240 Speaker 5: the Iowa caucuses has just started giving his victory speech. 63 00:03:57,360 --> 00:03:59,200 Speaker 5: We will keep an eye on that as it happens. 64 00:03:59,560 --> 00:04:01,480 Speaker 5: We will lay you know if there's any news made 65 00:04:01,520 --> 00:04:05,040 Speaker 5: in that speech, If there's anything noteworthy, something substantive and important. 66 00:04:05,760 --> 00:04:08,960 Speaker 5: The reason I'm saying this is, of course, there is 67 00:04:09,000 --> 00:04:11,920 Speaker 5: a reason that we and other news organizations have generally 68 00:04:11,960 --> 00:04:16,120 Speaker 5: stopped giving an unfiltered live platform to remarks by former 69 00:04:16,160 --> 00:04:18,240 Speaker 5: President Trump. It is not out of spite. It is 70 00:04:18,800 --> 00:04:21,160 Speaker 5: not a decision that we relish. It is a decision 71 00:04:21,240 --> 00:04:26,440 Speaker 5: that we regularly revisit and honestly, earnestly, it is not 72 00:04:26,600 --> 00:04:29,880 Speaker 5: an easy decision. But there is a cost to us 73 00:04:29,880 --> 00:04:33,480 Speaker 5: as a news organization of knowingly broadcasting untrue things. 74 00:04:34,440 --> 00:04:40,000 Speaker 3: Buck they won't even allow Trump to be heard by 75 00:04:40,080 --> 00:04:44,680 Speaker 3: their audience to make the case for why they should 76 00:04:44,720 --> 00:04:50,320 Speaker 3: be supporting him. This is the reality. I'll point this out. 77 00:04:50,400 --> 00:04:53,600 Speaker 3: Fox News gets ripped to the high heavens. They carry 78 00:04:53,680 --> 00:04:58,119 Speaker 3: Joe Biden press briefings and Joe Biden's speeches all the time. 79 00:04:58,440 --> 00:04:59,600 Speaker 2: It's news. 80 00:04:59,760 --> 00:05:03,080 Speaker 4: A If that's not news, nothing is news, you know 81 00:05:03,120 --> 00:05:04,760 Speaker 4: what I mean? Like, if you're not going to say 82 00:05:04,760 --> 00:05:09,200 Speaker 4: a presidential speech or an election night victory speech doesn't 83 00:05:09,279 --> 00:05:12,839 Speaker 4: qualify as news. You got to call yourself something else, 84 00:05:12,960 --> 00:05:15,400 Speaker 4: become a cooking channel. But if you're not going to 85 00:05:15,440 --> 00:05:18,760 Speaker 4: cover this stuff, you are not a news organization. But 86 00:05:19,000 --> 00:05:21,920 Speaker 4: as we all know MSNBC and CNN haven't been news 87 00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:23,200 Speaker 4: organizations in a long time. 88 00:05:23,600 --> 00:05:25,120 Speaker 6: In fact, bringing it. 89 00:05:25,080 --> 00:05:26,359 Speaker 4: Back to that, I know I've talked about it too 90 00:05:26,440 --> 00:05:29,080 Speaker 4: much already that Brett Stevens op ed. He brought up 91 00:05:29,160 --> 00:05:33,640 Speaker 4: that there is no argument against the fact that journalism, 92 00:05:33,839 --> 00:05:38,880 Speaker 4: you know, sort of major corporate journalism against Trump. Came 93 00:05:38,880 --> 00:05:41,640 Speaker 4: out and said Washingt Post, New York Times that journalism 94 00:05:41,800 --> 00:05:44,400 Speaker 4: is anti Trump because the truth is anti Trump. So 95 00:05:44,640 --> 00:05:46,760 Speaker 4: this is not even a discussion at this point. So 96 00:05:46,920 --> 00:05:48,640 Speaker 4: we all know what they're going to do, what they're 97 00:05:48,680 --> 00:05:49,359 Speaker 4: going to say. 98 00:05:49,960 --> 00:05:52,159 Speaker 3: Yeah, and I think this is important too, because this 99 00:05:52,240 --> 00:05:56,040 Speaker 3: is going to be a major battleground of twenty twenty four. 100 00:05:56,920 --> 00:06:01,120 Speaker 3: The number one thing that should not be spent censored 101 00:06:01,279 --> 00:06:06,359 Speaker 3: is candidate speech. How can you make a rational decision 102 00:06:06,440 --> 00:06:10,960 Speaker 3: as a voter for which candidate you're going to support 103 00:06:11,480 --> 00:06:14,760 Speaker 3: if you aren't able to see the candidate and what 104 00:06:14,839 --> 00:06:19,680 Speaker 3: the candidate believes. This is the very foundation of democracy itself. 105 00:06:19,839 --> 00:06:24,839 Speaker 3: Recognize what's going on here. MSNBC is saying the chief 106 00:06:24,920 --> 00:06:28,480 Speaker 3: political opponent of the sitting president of the United States 107 00:06:28,880 --> 00:06:32,599 Speaker 3: cannot be seen or heard on their program live making 108 00:06:32,640 --> 00:06:37,440 Speaker 3: his political arguments. He must be censored for fear of 109 00:06:37,520 --> 00:06:41,160 Speaker 3: what their viewers might hear. This is you want to 110 00:06:41,200 --> 00:06:46,160 Speaker 3: talk about the foundation of an attack on democracy. You're 111 00:06:46,200 --> 00:06:51,320 Speaker 3: not even allowing the nominee, presumptive nominee of the Republican Party, 112 00:06:51,800 --> 00:06:54,919 Speaker 3: to be heard on your airwaves making the argument for 113 00:06:55,000 --> 00:06:57,040 Speaker 3: why he should be the nominee. And by the way, 114 00:06:57,160 --> 00:07:00,520 Speaker 3: this is not just MSNBC. They at least showed a 115 00:07:00,560 --> 00:07:04,039 Speaker 3: little bit of it on CNN. But then Jake Tapper 116 00:07:04,120 --> 00:07:07,240 Speaker 3: cut in right as Trump started to talk about illegal 117 00:07:07,320 --> 00:07:09,240 Speaker 3: immigration and how he wanted to stop it. 118 00:07:09,279 --> 00:07:15,600 Speaker 7: Listen, We're going to seal up the border because right 119 00:07:15,640 --> 00:07:18,640 Speaker 7: now we have an invasion. We have an invasion of 120 00:07:18,720 --> 00:07:21,760 Speaker 7: millions and millions of people that are coming into our country. 121 00:07:21,800 --> 00:07:23,880 Speaker 7: I can't imagine why they think that's a good thing. 122 00:07:23,920 --> 00:07:27,960 Speaker 7: Donald Trump declaring victory with a historically strong showing. 123 00:07:27,640 --> 00:07:30,520 Speaker 2: In the Iowa caucuses. If these numbers. 124 00:07:30,160 --> 00:07:33,440 Speaker 3: Hold, the biggest victory for a non and combent president 125 00:07:33,480 --> 00:07:37,040 Speaker 3: in the modern era for this contest, a relatively subdued 126 00:07:37,080 --> 00:07:38,320 Speaker 3: speech as these things. 127 00:07:38,120 --> 00:07:41,160 Speaker 2: Go so far, although here he is right now. 128 00:07:41,080 --> 00:07:45,120 Speaker 3: Under my voice, you hear him repeating his anti immigrant rhetoric. 129 00:07:45,880 --> 00:07:47,760 Speaker 4: I mean, look, let's say this is they would never 130 00:07:47,800 --> 00:07:51,440 Speaker 4: do this to a Democrat candidate. It shows you exactly 131 00:07:51,440 --> 00:07:54,960 Speaker 4: what the move is going to be over. CNN is 132 00:07:55,000 --> 00:07:58,280 Speaker 4: now going to pretend like it's gone back toward journalism, 133 00:07:58,280 --> 00:08:00,800 Speaker 4: but it's actually just going back toward anti trump ism, 134 00:08:01,520 --> 00:08:06,160 Speaker 4: and it's honestly it's I mean, if you're going to 135 00:08:06,160 --> 00:08:08,840 Speaker 4: be a journalist, it is disrespectful I think to speak 136 00:08:09,000 --> 00:08:12,680 Speaker 4: over a candidate giving a victory speech in an American 137 00:08:13,640 --> 00:08:17,240 Speaker 4: statewide election, right, I mean, let's start establishing some of 138 00:08:17,280 --> 00:08:20,840 Speaker 4: these ground rules now. And you know it's not I'm 139 00:08:20,840 --> 00:08:22,720 Speaker 4: not even directing this at any one individual or any 140 00:08:22,720 --> 00:08:26,840 Speaker 4: one organization. I think that the rule should be if 141 00:08:26,840 --> 00:08:29,760 Speaker 4: you're not going to cover a victory speech of an 142 00:08:29,800 --> 00:08:34,440 Speaker 4: American presidential candidate in a duly constituted election, you're not 143 00:08:34,520 --> 00:08:36,880 Speaker 4: a news organization and you're not doing journalism. 144 00:08:37,800 --> 00:08:41,280 Speaker 3: Also, to label it anti immigrant, it's not even just 145 00:08:41,360 --> 00:08:44,760 Speaker 3: that he stepped onto Trump's speech, because I could see 146 00:08:44,800 --> 00:08:46,680 Speaker 3: if you're out there and you're saying, hey, we're only 147 00:08:46,720 --> 00:08:48,480 Speaker 3: going to cover ten minutes of the speech, right, and 148 00:08:48,480 --> 00:08:50,800 Speaker 3: then we're going to go back to analysis something like that, 149 00:08:51,200 --> 00:08:54,840 Speaker 3: if it's a relatively evenly applied rule. But he cut 150 00:08:54,880 --> 00:08:58,199 Speaker 3: him off right as he's making probably the most compelling 151 00:08:58,440 --> 00:09:01,400 Speaker 3: argument against Biden, which is, you look at the data, 152 00:09:01,400 --> 00:09:05,120 Speaker 3: tubuc Biden is underwater on a lot of issues, none 153 00:09:05,160 --> 00:09:07,400 Speaker 3: of them are as bad as the border. And then 154 00:09:07,440 --> 00:09:10,920 Speaker 3: to label it as an anti immigrant stands. Trump has 155 00:09:10,960 --> 00:09:13,520 Speaker 3: been very clear he wants a big wall with a 156 00:09:13,559 --> 00:09:16,959 Speaker 3: big gate, right. He wants legal immigration to be able 157 00:09:17,000 --> 00:09:19,880 Speaker 3: to continue. He just doesn't want an illegal immigration to 158 00:09:19,920 --> 00:09:22,400 Speaker 3: be able to occur. It's not anti immigrant to be 159 00:09:22,760 --> 00:09:25,280 Speaker 3: a favor of opposed to illegal immigrant. 160 00:09:25,360 --> 00:09:29,599 Speaker 4: Well, the first step, the first game of Democrat propaganda 161 00:09:29,760 --> 00:09:33,840 Speaker 4: around immigration in the border is always to conflate and 162 00:09:33,920 --> 00:09:36,640 Speaker 4: just make it hard to talk about in the process, 163 00:09:36,840 --> 00:09:41,840 Speaker 4: conflate illegal and legal immigration.

I guarantee you listening to 219 00:12:18,679 --> 00:12:20,840 Speaker 3: this show for the next ten months than almost any 220 00:12:20,880 --> 00:12:24,240 Speaker 3: media outlet out there, certainly way better than anything that's 221 00:12:24,280 --> 00:12:25,280 Speaker 3: going on at MSNBC. 222 00:12:25,520 --> 00:12:28,560 Speaker 4: And we're not going to hide anything about Biden or 223 00:12:28,559 --> 00:12:32,640 Speaker 4: the Democrats or whatever they're doing, because people don't necessarily 224 00:12:32,720 --> 00:12:35,040 Speaker 4: want to hear that, oh, guys, they're gaining here or 225 00:12:35,040 --> 00:12:37,840 Speaker 4: here's just you know, we want to be as open 226 00:12:37,880 --> 00:12:39,959 Speaker 4: and transparent about what the other side is, you know 227 00:12:39,960 --> 00:12:42,839 Speaker 4: what I mean. Yeah, the Democrat thing is they they 228 00:12:42,840 --> 00:12:45,280 Speaker 4: can't even air Trump because Trump is so upseting to 229 00:12:45,320 --> 00:12:47,880 Speaker 4: their audience. If Democrats are doing something you need to 230 00:12:47,880 --> 00:12:49,439 Speaker 4: know about, we're going to talk about it here. We're 231 00:12:49,440 --> 00:12:51,080 Speaker 4: not going to say, oh, let's not talk about the 232 00:12:51,280 --> 00:12:53,480 Speaker 4: you know, the stratagems that they're using. 233 00:12:55,800 --> 00:12:59,840 Speaker 1: If you're listening to twenty four the Year of Impact 234 00:13:00,160 --> 00:13:01,160 Speaker 1: with Clay and. 235 00:13:01,160 --> 00:13:04,480 Speaker 4: Buck, I don't know when the last time was that 236 00:13:04,520 --> 00:13:08,080 Speaker 4: I would cite unless it was to make sheer mockery 237 00:13:08,120 --> 00:13:12,160 Speaker 4: of it. A New York Times opinion column on this show, 238 00:13:12,480 --> 00:13:13,760 Speaker 4: because generally. 239 00:13:13,360 --> 00:13:14,560 Speaker 2: It's the insurrection. 240 00:13:15,640 --> 00:13:17,720 Speaker 4: You know, it's all the same a week after week, 241 00:13:17,720 --> 00:13:20,960 Speaker 4: it's all the same stuff. It's all the same left 242 00:13:21,000 --> 00:13:27,400 Speaker 4: wing talking points in seven hundred word form. But former Republican. 243 00:13:28,040 --> 00:13:30,720 Speaker 4: I think he's now an independent. I don't know. You know, 244 00:13:30,760 --> 00:13:32,520 Speaker 4: whatever you got to do to keep jobs at these 245 00:13:32,520 --> 00:13:35,439 Speaker 4: places that don't allow Republicans, this is what people do now, right. 246 00:13:35,480 --> 00:13:39,079 Speaker 4: I think technically Joe Scarborough is an independent at MSNBC, 247 00:13:39,400 --> 00:13:42,880 Speaker 4: Sure he is. I think Brett Stevens, I think he's 248 00:13:42,880 --> 00:13:45,360 Speaker 4: an independent. I don't know if he's changed from Republican. 249 00:13:45,720 --> 00:13:49,360 Speaker 4: That's neither here nor there. He wrote a piece. Now 250 00:13:49,400 --> 00:13:53,520 Speaker 4: he is somebody whose job, in my opinion, is to 251 00:13:53,800 --> 00:14:01,960 Speaker 4: generally try to gently inform the Democrat leftist lunatics about 252 00:14:02,080 --> 00:14:05,400 Speaker 4: what some people on the right think, while always saying 253 00:14:05,559 --> 00:14:07,520 Speaker 4: and they're so bad. I mean, the right is just 254 00:14:07,600 --> 00:14:09,280 Speaker 4: you know, they're they're really bad. But I'm here to 255 00:14:09,320 --> 00:14:12,119 Speaker 4: sort of translate right wing. 256 00:14:11,840 --> 00:14:12,559 Speaker 2: Stuff for you. 257 00:14:12,640 --> 00:14:17,040 Speaker 4: He's written this piece the case for Trump by someone 258 00:14:17,080 --> 00:14:20,880 Speaker 4: who wants him to lose, and let me I'll make this. 259 00:14:20,960 --> 00:14:22,320 Speaker 4: I'll make this quick. So I want to get I 260 00:14:22,320 --> 00:14:24,760 Speaker 4: want to get to some mcclay's reaction on this, because 261 00:14:24,760 --> 00:14:27,880 Speaker 4: obviously it goes on for quite some time. The basic 262 00:14:27,960 --> 00:14:32,440 Speaker 4: case is this Democrats just don't believe that this is happening. 263 00:14:32,840 --> 00:14:35,160 Speaker 4: But he says, and this is this is a line 264 00:14:35,240 --> 00:14:37,960 Speaker 4: directly from the piece. Hold on a second, where of course, 265 00:14:38,000 --> 00:14:41,120 Speaker 4: now my computer is frozen. But he says that unless 266 00:14:41,120 --> 00:14:44,880 Speaker 4: there's some kind of a miracle, Donald Trump is going 267 00:14:45,360 --> 00:14:47,720 Speaker 4: to win. He says, barring a political mural or an 268 00:14:47,720 --> 00:14:50,240 Speaker 4: active god, a miracle or an active god, it is 269 00:14:50,320 --> 00:14:52,800 Speaker 4: overwhelmingly like the Donald Trump will again be the Republican 270 00:14:52,800 --> 00:14:55,960 Speaker 4: Party's nominee for president. So he's saying, look, Trump's gonna 271 00:14:55,960 --> 00:14:59,960 Speaker 4: win the GOP nomination. This is This is Brett Stevens, who. 272 00:14:59,800 --> 00:15:00,080 Speaker 9: Is this. 273 00:15:01,640 --> 00:15:03,560 Speaker 4: Sort of a Republican I think, I don't know whatever, 274 00:15:04,000 --> 00:15:06,080 Speaker 4: But he says this play and this is I think 275 00:15:06,120 --> 00:15:09,720 Speaker 4: this analysis is in general spot on, although he has 276 00:15:09,760 --> 00:15:11,440 Speaker 4: to soft pedal it a little bit with like, I 277 00:15:11,520 --> 00:15:15,280 Speaker 4: know there's bad things about Trump. He says, the single 278 00:15:15,280 --> 00:15:17,920 Speaker 4: most important geopolitical fact of the last century, this is 279 00:15:17,920 --> 00:15:21,120 Speaker 4: point one, is the migration of people from south to 280 00:15:21,160 --> 00:15:25,080 Speaker 4: north and east to west, causing tectonic demographic, cultural, economic, 281 00:15:25,160 --> 00:15:26,040 Speaker 4: and political shifts. 282 00:15:26,040 --> 00:15:27,440 Speaker 2: This is Stevens writing. 283 00:15:27,720 --> 00:15:33,000 Speaker 4: Trump gets this so on mass illegal immigration, Trump is right, 284 00:15:33,320 --> 00:15:36,120 Speaker 4: the elites are out of their minds. Point two, when 285 00:15:36,160 --> 00:15:39,600 Speaker 4: liberal elites insist things are going well, you look at 286 00:15:39,600 --> 00:15:41,520 Speaker 4: all the data. It's going well for them. It's not 287 00:15:41,600 --> 00:15:43,800 Speaker 4: going well for the whole middle section of the country. 288 00:15:43,840 --> 00:15:46,720 Speaker 4: I don't mean that geographically. I mean that economically, the 289 00:15:46,840 --> 00:15:50,840 Speaker 4: middle class that Democrats pretend to care about. Trump's right 290 00:15:50,920 --> 00:15:56,600 Speaker 4: about that. And point three institutions have failed. He is 291 00:15:56,720 --> 00:16:00,440 Speaker 4: right about the failure of the CDC, failure of the FBI, 292 00:16:00,640 --> 00:16:05,120 Speaker 4: failure of the CIA, failure of the media and journalism. 293 00:16:05,520 --> 00:16:09,800 Speaker 4: And he's saying leftists democrats, he doesn't call them leftist obviously. 294 00:16:09,840 --> 00:16:11,720 Speaker 4: To Clay, he says, if Democrats don't wake up to 295 00:16:11,760 --> 00:16:14,560 Speaker 4: these realities, they may wake up to an even more 296 00:16:14,680 --> 00:16:19,360 Speaker 4: terrifying reality right after election day. So he's diagnosing the problem, 297 00:16:19,360 --> 00:16:22,119 Speaker 4: which is that Democrat Party is living in a delusion. 298 00:16:22,360 --> 00:16:24,680 Speaker 4: They're wrong on these things, and Trump is right on 299 00:16:24,720 --> 00:16:25,240 Speaker 4: these things. 300 00:16:25,840 --> 00:16:28,840 Speaker 3: Yeah, and I thought it was an interesting piece because 301 00:16:28,960 --> 00:16:31,960 Speaker 3: not necessarily for you and me and some of our 302 00:16:32,560 --> 00:16:35,240 Speaker 3: listenership out there who might have read it. But I 303 00:16:35,360 --> 00:16:38,520 Speaker 3: try to think about what the New York Times readership 304 00:16:38,600 --> 00:16:40,880 Speaker 3: would think of this, which is why, to your point, 305 00:16:40,960 --> 00:16:44,040 Speaker 3: he has to catch this as the headline is, I'm 306 00:16:44,040 --> 00:16:47,080 Speaker 3: not supporting Trump, but here what's the headline again? 307 00:16:47,120 --> 00:16:49,120 Speaker 2: And it's even an interesting. 308 00:16:49,040 --> 00:16:52,000 Speaker 3: Way that you have to almost be able to have 309 00:16:52,040 --> 00:16:53,640 Speaker 3: this conversation with their audience. 310 00:16:53,640 --> 00:16:55,080 Speaker 4: Well, this is what I mean. This is why it's 311 00:16:55,080 --> 00:16:56,880 Speaker 4: so interesting that you're right. I mean, he's the case 312 00:16:56,880 --> 00:17:00,160 Speaker 4: for Trump by someone who wants him to lose. And 313 00:17:00,200 --> 00:17:04,600 Speaker 4: so I am sifting through everything. He's like, look, look, yes, 314 00:17:04,760 --> 00:17:08,720 Speaker 4: is Trump of Vulgarian and you know election Denarira. But 315 00:17:08,880 --> 00:17:11,320 Speaker 4: he's kind of totally right about immigration, and you guys 316 00:17:11,320 --> 00:17:14,280 Speaker 4: need to wake up. And yes, is he mean about 317 00:17:14,400 --> 00:17:16,800 Speaker 4: Fauci or whatever? You know, that's a whole other conversation. 318 00:17:16,840 --> 00:17:19,600 Speaker 4: But does he mean about some of our institutions? But 319 00:17:19,720 --> 00:17:22,000 Speaker 4: he's right about them, and you guys need to wake up. Like, 320 00:17:22,359 --> 00:17:27,560 Speaker 4: I think he's preparing the Democrats for the reality that 321 00:17:27,600 --> 00:17:29,520 Speaker 4: they're in for a whole heck of a lot tougher 322 00:17:29,560 --> 00:17:32,520 Speaker 4: fight in this election that they anticipated. All this legal 323 00:17:32,600 --> 00:17:35,280 Speaker 4: crap is not. All the legal assault stuff they're doing 324 00:17:35,320 --> 00:17:35,879 Speaker 4: is not working. 325 00:17:36,480 --> 00:17:38,879 Speaker 3: No, and and and I think that a lot of 326 00:17:38,920 --> 00:17:41,600 Speaker 3: them still haven't recognized it, which is why you have 327 00:17:41,680 --> 00:17:46,080 Speaker 3: to talk to them as if they are very misinformed 328 00:17:46,200 --> 00:17:49,360 Speaker 3: and uninformed and I think this is important in general 329 00:17:49,440 --> 00:17:51,440 Speaker 3: as you think about the way that the twenty twenty 330 00:17:51,440 --> 00:17:54,800 Speaker 3: four election is going to be covered. It is impossible 331 00:17:55,560 --> 00:17:59,000 Speaker 3: for everyone out there listening to us right now not 332 00:17:59,200 --> 00:18:04,600 Speaker 3: to be immersed in Democrat Party talking points because the 333 00:18:04,680 --> 00:18:08,600 Speaker 3: overall media leans so far to the left that even 334 00:18:08,760 --> 00:18:11,399 Speaker 3: if you are a died in the wool Trump supporter 335 00:18:11,520 --> 00:18:14,520 Speaker 3: Aron DeSantis or Nikki Haley or i Ve Gramaswami, whoever 336 00:18:14,520 --> 00:18:16,840 Speaker 3: you're going to go support today in Iowa and in 337 00:18:16,880 --> 00:18:21,960 Speaker 3: the future primaries in your state, even the talking points 338 00:18:22,000 --> 00:18:25,560 Speaker 3: of people on the right who are running for president 339 00:18:25,960 --> 00:18:28,359 Speaker 3: are very cognizant of all the arguments that are being 340 00:18:28,440 --> 00:18:32,000 Speaker 3: made on the left. The left is not very knowledgeable 341 00:18:32,040 --> 00:18:36,240 Speaker 3: about what's actually said on the right because they're dominant 342 00:18:36,359 --> 00:18:41,199 Speaker 3: in so many different aspects of the media industry that 343 00:18:41,920 --> 00:18:44,280 Speaker 3: they don't even pay attention to the arguments that are 344 00:18:44,320 --> 00:18:48,520 Speaker 3: coming from the right. I think about this buck when, 345 00:18:49,320 --> 00:18:52,040 Speaker 3: and we talked about this a little bit, but it 346 00:18:52,119 --> 00:18:55,639 Speaker 3: happened in sports last week when Aaron Rodgers went on 347 00:18:55,920 --> 00:19:03,040 Speaker 3: ESPN and just basically castigated Fauci and everyone else who 348 00:19:03,040 --> 00:19:05,480 Speaker 3: had ridiculed him for not getting the COVID shot and 349 00:19:05,560 --> 00:19:08,919 Speaker 3: talked about the fact that it didn't work, and that 350 00:19:09,000 --> 00:19:11,119 Speaker 3: meaning the COVID shot didn't work, and that all the 351 00:19:11,119 --> 00:19:14,080 Speaker 3: boosters are worthless by and large, and that it had 352 00:19:14,119 --> 00:19:18,119 Speaker 3: not fulfilled the expectation. And you could hear left wingers' 353 00:19:18,400 --> 00:19:23,480 Speaker 3: brains exploding because they aren't ever exposed to those arguments, 354 00:19:24,440 --> 00:19:28,040 Speaker 3: and so it's considered to be in And you know 355 00:19:28,119 --> 00:19:30,520 Speaker 3: this because you lived in New York City. But there's 356 00:19:30,560 --> 00:19:35,840 Speaker 3: a certain wilful blindness to endorsing the Democrat Party arguments. 357 00:19:36,160 --> 00:19:39,479 Speaker 3: You don't even bother engaging with the arguments of the 358 00:19:39,520 --> 00:19:43,439 Speaker 3: other side and explaining why they are wrong. You just 359 00:19:43,680 --> 00:19:46,840 Speaker 3: know that your side is right because they believe in 360 00:19:46,960 --> 00:19:50,880 Speaker 3: science and they believe in democracy, and you never actually 361 00:19:50,960 --> 00:19:54,080 Speaker 3: are forced to examine why someone else might believe the 362 00:19:54,119 --> 00:19:57,240 Speaker 3: other side, and so you have a one way argument. 363 00:19:57,520 --> 00:20:00,439 Speaker 3: I would argue that's what made Gavin new Some so 364 00:20:00,640 --> 00:20:03,239 Speaker 3: flabby in the argument the debate that he had with 365 00:20:03,320 --> 00:20:07,240 Speaker 3: Ron DeSantis, because people on the left aren't ever forced 366 00:20:07,280 --> 00:20:10,040 Speaker 3: to engage with the arguments of the right, whereas the 367 00:20:10,119 --> 00:20:13,560 Speaker 3: right is forced to constantly engage in the arguments of 368 00:20:13,560 --> 00:20:17,680 Speaker 3: the left. So our rhetorical skills are way more refined, 369 00:20:17,720 --> 00:20:18,600 Speaker 3: I really believe that. 370 00:20:18,880 --> 00:20:21,680 Speaker 4: Well, this is why college republicans. You know, you see 371 00:20:21,680 --> 00:20:24,359 Speaker 4: these kids sometimes even pop up on TV. They'll be 372 00:20:24,400 --> 00:20:27,359 Speaker 4: like a senior at you know, name some college somewhere, 373 00:20:27,359 --> 00:20:30,480 Speaker 4: senior at Hillsdale College, and they appear on TV with 374 00:20:30,640 --> 00:20:33,520 Speaker 4: the polish of a professional broadcaster. And it's because they've 375 00:20:33,520 --> 00:20:35,879 Speaker 4: spent the last you know, eight years of their life 376 00:20:35,920 --> 00:20:39,760 Speaker 4: basically arguing with high school teachers and college professors and 377 00:20:40,240 --> 00:20:42,480 Speaker 4: getting good at it. Whereas a lot of liberals, even 378 00:20:42,480 --> 00:20:44,760 Speaker 4: in elite schools, are you're racist. 379 00:20:44,840 --> 00:20:46,800 Speaker 2: You know, how does that happen to you? Buck? 380 00:20:46,840 --> 00:20:48,840 Speaker 3: Where you get into a conversation with somebody who's a 381 00:20:48,880 --> 00:20:50,879 Speaker 3: little bit left leaning and you share something that is 382 00:20:50,920 --> 00:20:53,200 Speaker 3: fact and they just have no idea it ever existed. 383 00:20:53,480 --> 00:20:55,960 Speaker 4: Like I love when they they stutter with the or 384 00:20:56,000 --> 00:20:58,600 Speaker 4: you know, they're they're stumped with something like, well, I 385 00:20:59,160 --> 00:21:00,479 Speaker 4: need to go I need to go check on that. 386 00:21:00,520 --> 00:21:02,480 Speaker 4: You know, they're like, they don't accept your facts. I've 387 00:21:02,520 --> 00:21:04,199 Speaker 4: come across that a lot. Although I try not to 388 00:21:04,240 --> 00:21:08,840 Speaker 4: talk social stuff or political stuff at social settings unless 389 00:21:08,920 --> 00:21:11,040 Speaker 4: i'm where I was like this past weekend where everyone's 390 00:21:11,080 --> 00:21:13,439 Speaker 4: you know, Navy or marine and they're all, they're all 391 00:21:13,480 --> 00:21:14,360 Speaker 4: on board for America. 392 00:21:14,400 --> 00:21:15,960 Speaker 2: That was a lot of fun. I'll talk about that later, 393 00:21:16,840 --> 00:21:18,280 Speaker 2: But Clay, the the. 394 00:21:18,160 --> 00:21:20,200 Speaker 4: Interesting thing to me is in this, in this Brett 395 00:21:20,200 --> 00:21:23,919 Speaker 4: Stevens peace it is it is trying to sort of 396 00:21:24,000 --> 00:21:28,000 Speaker 4: slowly open the eyes of the Democrats who I think 397 00:21:28,040 --> 00:21:30,480 Speaker 4: have been led to believe and this could all change, 398 00:21:30,480 --> 00:21:33,120 Speaker 4: but led to believe. At this point, we don't even 399 00:21:33,240 --> 00:21:37,480 Speaker 4: have to make the case for Biden or even make 400 00:21:37,520 --> 00:21:40,679 Speaker 4: it against Trump. The Justice Department's going to do it 401 00:21:40,760 --> 00:21:43,720 Speaker 4: for us. The prosecutors are going to finish this off. 402 00:21:44,200 --> 00:21:46,639 Speaker 4: It's looking less and less likely that that's going to happen. 403 00:21:46,960 --> 00:21:50,720 Speaker 4: And I think Stevens as a service to Democrats who 404 00:21:50,760 --> 00:21:53,200 Speaker 4: are the readership you know, I mean you and I 405 00:21:53,240 --> 00:21:54,639 Speaker 4: subscribe to the Time so we can see what the 406 00:21:54,680 --> 00:21:57,240 Speaker 4: enemy thinks and the Washington Post, by the way, I 407 00:21:57,520 --> 00:21:59,840 Speaker 4: sor yes, yeah, I mean I'm reading these things all 408 00:21:59,880 --> 00:22:02,119 Speaker 4: the time. I'm like, oh, look it's Paul Krugman again. 409 00:22:02,720 --> 00:22:06,800 Speaker 4: He's gonna say something that's wrong. But the truth is, 410 00:22:07,600 --> 00:22:10,880 Speaker 4: if the Democrats do not wake and by the way, 411 00:22:10,880 --> 00:22:13,080 Speaker 4: this would be true I of DeSantis or Haley as well, 412 00:22:13,480 --> 00:22:16,879 Speaker 4: if they were the nominee but this I'm just going 413 00:22:16,960 --> 00:22:19,159 Speaker 4: to shout at the Republican and say that he's a 414 00:22:19,240 --> 00:22:22,680 Speaker 4: racist for pointing out the problems at the border. It's 415 00:22:23,000 --> 00:22:26,320 Speaker 4: it's going to lose that. That's actually a losing argument 416 00:22:26,440 --> 00:22:29,399 Speaker 4: in America today. All the polls show it, all the 417 00:22:29,480 --> 00:22:32,760 Speaker 4: data shows it, and the Democrat Party has a major, 418 00:22:32,880 --> 00:22:36,440 Speaker 4: major challenge. And then the other thing about the improvement 419 00:22:36,600 --> 00:22:39,159 Speaker 4: of life or things going great, because there are a 420 00:22:39,160 --> 00:22:41,720 Speaker 4: lot of Democrats, especially along the coast, who've got plenty 421 00:22:41,720 --> 00:22:43,919 Speaker 4: of money, who think things are going great, Cenator, the 422 00:22:43,920 --> 00:22:49,400 Speaker 4: country doesn't feel that way, and particularly white, non college educated, 423 00:22:49,880 --> 00:22:53,400 Speaker 4: working class voters do not feel that way, and they 424 00:22:53,400 --> 00:22:55,920 Speaker 4: are a key constituency in some of these suits and 425 00:22:56,000 --> 00:22:56,879 Speaker 4: some of the swing states. 426 00:22:57,160 --> 00:22:59,439 Speaker 3: Yeah, and the thing that I thought that Brett Stevens 427 00:22:59,480 --> 00:23:03,520 Speaker 3: got particular right was Trump nailing the issue with if 428 00:23:03,520 --> 00:23:05,120 Speaker 3: we don't have a border, we're not a nation. 429 00:23:06,000 --> 00:23:06,920 Speaker 2: And as you. 430 00:23:06,960 --> 00:23:09,919 Speaker 3: See the mayors of Chicago and New York and Washington, 431 00:23:10,000 --> 00:23:14,040 Speaker 3: D C. And even Denver recently all begging for the 432 00:23:14,080 --> 00:23:15,840 Speaker 3: flow of migrants to stop. 433 00:23:16,000 --> 00:23:16,720 Speaker 2: Did you see JB. 434 00:23:16,800 --> 00:23:20,000 Speaker 3: Pritzker on I think it was ABC this week, and 435 00:23:20,040 --> 00:23:21,720 Speaker 3: we may have that audio that we'll play for you 436 00:23:21,800 --> 00:23:24,440 Speaker 3: later in the in the hour or next hour, where 437 00:23:24,440 --> 00:23:28,560 Speaker 3: he basically implored the governor of Texas, Greg Abbott, please 438 00:23:28,600 --> 00:23:31,680 Speaker 3: stop sending people to Chicago. We don't have the ability 439 00:23:31,680 --> 00:23:34,480 Speaker 3: to handle them anymore. And this is very important for 440 00:23:34,520 --> 00:23:37,199 Speaker 3: everybody out there. All of these cities are getting a 441 00:23:37,240 --> 00:23:39,960 Speaker 3: pinprick of what Texas deals with on a daily basis. 442 00:23:40,600 --> 00:23:44,520 Speaker 3: And so what Greg Abbott has proven is the flawed 443 00:23:44,680 --> 00:23:48,480 Speaker 3: system here of oh, we can't have border security that 444 00:23:48,520 --> 00:23:51,560 Speaker 3: Trump basically ran on in fifteen, he was one hundred 445 00:23:51,600 --> 00:23:55,919 Speaker 3: percent right, and importantly buck he said a lot of 446 00:23:55,960 --> 00:23:59,960 Speaker 3: things that even Joe Biden himself said about border secure 447 00:24:00,000 --> 00:24:02,479 Speaker 3: already back in like two thousand and eight, two thousand 448 00:24:02,480 --> 00:24:06,320 Speaker 3: and nine. One of the big issues in American politics today, 449 00:24:06,400 --> 00:24:09,280 Speaker 3: I would say in general, is somebody can have the 450 00:24:09,359 --> 00:24:13,439 Speaker 3: right idea, and if they're from the opposing party, it 451 00:24:13,520 --> 00:24:18,600 Speaker 3: automatically gets opposed just because the reflexive response is that 452 00:24:18,680 --> 00:24:21,000 Speaker 3: person couldn't have a good idea, we have to be 453 00:24:21,040 --> 00:24:24,119 Speaker 3: opposed to it. The water wall was not very controversial 454 00:24:24,160 --> 00:24:27,320 Speaker 3: in two thousand and seven, like the certainly wasn't considered racist. 455 00:24:27,760 --> 00:24:29,920 Speaker 3: There was one thousand and seven. In two thousand and eight. 456 00:24:30,200 --> 00:24:34,280 Speaker 4: There was a Bipartisan Secure Fence Act and John McCain 457 00:24:35,000 --> 00:24:38,120 Speaker 4: was actually running ads back when he was the nominee, 458 00:24:38,400 --> 00:24:41,600 Speaker 4: talking about build the dang fence. That's that was the quote. 459 00:24:41,600 --> 00:24:42,119 Speaker 4: Do you remember that? 460 00:24:42,560 --> 00:24:42,720 Speaker 8: Yeah? 461 00:24:42,760 --> 00:24:45,200 Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean but they were just pretending, is the point. 462 00:24:45,240 --> 00:24:47,680 Speaker 4: They weren't actually gonna build it. It was just little 463 00:24:47,720 --> 00:24:48,680 Speaker 4: pieces here and there. 464 00:24:49,119 --> 00:24:52,480 Speaker 3: But the fact that that somehow became categorized as racist, 465 00:24:52,480 --> 00:24:54,080 Speaker 3: and we need to talk about this with the Fanny 466 00:24:54,119 --> 00:24:57,720 Speaker 3: Willis audio, the fact that she claimed I think that 467 00:24:57,720 --> 00:25:04,160 Speaker 3: that that's racist. That are argument has really collapsed, even 468 00:25:04,200 --> 00:25:07,320 Speaker 3: on the left. I don't see it having the same 469 00:25:07,400 --> 00:25:11,119 Speaker 3: cogency that it's had in years past. I think the 470 00:25:11,280 --> 00:25:15,800 Speaker 3: racism card, so to speak, has really started to collapse. 471 00:25:15,880 --> 00:25:18,720 Speaker 3: And you've seen it, right, Biden tried to go down 472 00:25:18,760 --> 00:25:22,800 Speaker 3: to Charleston and argue, hey, you know, they're racist Republicans 473 00:25:22,840 --> 00:25:26,639 Speaker 3: all these things. I think it's increasingly getting harder and 474 00:25:26,720 --> 00:25:29,359 Speaker 3: harder for even Democrats to make that argument. 475 00:25:29,560 --> 00:25:30,480 Speaker 2: I think it's collapsing. 476 00:25:33,040 --> 00:25:37,760 Speaker 1: You're listening to twenty four the most important tier in politics. 477 00:25:38,040 --> 00:25:39,880 Speaker 2: With Clay Travis end Buck. 478 00:25:39,760 --> 00:25:44,560 Speaker 3: Sexton, Trump now has two contenders remaining in this race. 479 00:25:44,960 --> 00:25:47,919 Speaker 3: Ron DeSantis, who both you and me believe is the 480 00:25:47,960 --> 00:25:52,160 Speaker 3: best governor in the country. He got everything right on COVID, 481 00:25:52,680 --> 00:25:57,959 Speaker 3: but the Republican electorate did not respond to him in Iowa. 482 00:25:58,119 --> 00:26:02,840 Speaker 3: And Nikki Hayley, who is been out of office for 483 00:26:02,920 --> 00:26:06,160 Speaker 3: a while but basically is staking her claim on I'm 484 00:26:06,160 --> 00:26:08,600 Speaker 3: gonna win New Hampshire or be close, and then I'm 485 00:26:08,640 --> 00:26:11,160 Speaker 3: gonna win South Carolina. So I want to I want 486 00:26:11,160 --> 00:26:12,800 Speaker 3: to give you a thesis. I want to see how 487 00:26:12,880 --> 00:26:16,960 Speaker 3: you would analyze this. Nicky Haley staying in the race 488 00:26:17,040 --> 00:26:20,760 Speaker 3: makes sense to me because Nicki Haley would love to 489 00:26:20,800 --> 00:26:23,760 Speaker 3: be vice president. She won't deny that she would take it. 490 00:26:24,280 --> 00:26:26,960 Speaker 3: Trump seems to be flirting with the idea a bit, 491 00:26:27,240 --> 00:26:31,199 Speaker 3: in that he has not totally dismissed it, and she 492 00:26:31,320 --> 00:26:34,480 Speaker 3: still thinks she can win New Hampshire and she is 493 00:26:34,520 --> 00:26:37,080 Speaker 3: holding out hope that she can make a play in 494 00:26:37,359 --> 00:26:41,080 Speaker 3: South Carolina. So I don't buy the logic of Nicki 495 00:26:41,119 --> 00:26:44,920 Speaker 3: Haley's campaign, but I understand it. Okay, let's talk about 496 00:26:45,000 --> 00:26:48,960 Speaker 3: Ron DeSantis right now. Pole came out from the Boston 497 00:26:49,000 --> 00:26:54,159 Speaker 3: Globe and Suffolk University. I believe this morning, Donald Trump 498 00:26:54,320 --> 00:27:01,200 Speaker 3: fifty percent Nicky Haley thirty four percent, Ron DeSantis five percent. 499 00:27:01,680 --> 00:27:04,919 Speaker 3: Now they're still around ten percent of people who are undecided, 500 00:27:04,960 --> 00:27:07,600 Speaker 3: and people can shift, and there can be Republicans come in, 501 00:27:07,640 --> 00:27:10,840 Speaker 3: there can be independence come in. If I were advising 502 00:27:10,880 --> 00:27:13,679 Speaker 3: DeSantis right now, I think you and I both agree, 503 00:27:13,680 --> 00:27:16,400 Speaker 3: Buck that DeSantis does not want to be vice president. 504 00:27:16,600 --> 00:27:19,000 Speaker 3: I don't think that DeSantis wants anything to do with 505 00:27:19,040 --> 00:27:19,520 Speaker 3: any kind. 506 00:27:19,440 --> 00:27:20,400 Speaker 2: Of cabinet position. 507 00:27:20,480 --> 00:27:23,240 Speaker 3: I think he believes governor of Florida is a bigger 508 00:27:23,320 --> 00:27:26,040 Speaker 3: and more prestigious deal. Okay, And by the way, you 509 00:27:26,080 --> 00:27:28,640 Speaker 3: guys can react out there eight hundred and two two 510 00:27:28,680 --> 00:27:32,359 Speaker 3: eight A two. It seems to me that the best 511 00:27:32,560 --> 00:27:36,800 Speaker 3: way for DeSantis to maintain his political viability going forward 512 00:27:36,840 --> 00:27:39,880 Speaker 3: on a national scale is to kick ass as governor 513 00:27:39,920 --> 00:27:42,680 Speaker 3: for the remaining two years of his term and then 514 00:27:43,359 --> 00:27:46,719 Speaker 3: run for the presidency again, potentially if he wants to 515 00:27:46,720 --> 00:27:50,600 Speaker 3: do it in the twenty twenty eight cycle, and if 516 00:27:50,600 --> 00:27:54,200 Speaker 3: he endorses Trump and becomes a good soldier and says, hey, 517 00:27:54,359 --> 00:27:57,320 Speaker 3: it is important that Trump beat Biden. Certainly a lot 518 00:27:57,359 --> 00:28:00,800 Speaker 3: of you out there would have preferred DeSantis. But what 519 00:28:01,000 --> 00:28:04,439 Speaker 3: basically analyze this do you agree with? I can't figure 520 00:28:04,560 --> 00:28:07,560 Speaker 3: Nikki Haley makes sense to me. I can't figure out 521 00:28:07,560 --> 00:28:10,880 Speaker 3: the DeSantis plan buck unless it is, Hey, there's gonna 522 00:28:10,880 --> 00:28:13,959 Speaker 3: be law fair, Something's gonna happen in the court system, 523 00:28:14,000 --> 00:28:16,080 Speaker 3: The Supreme Court's going to do something, and I'm just 524 00:28:16,080 --> 00:28:18,080 Speaker 3: going to stay in and wait and see if that happens. 525 00:28:18,560 --> 00:28:21,000 Speaker 4: So the thing about that last option is we know 526 00:28:21,160 --> 00:28:26,000 Speaker 4: that Ron, I mean, that can't be the official strategy, right, 527 00:28:26,119 --> 00:28:30,680 Speaker 4: meaning implicitly said, You're never going to have anyone who says, hey, 528 00:28:30,960 --> 00:28:34,040 Speaker 4: Ron's staying in this thing just in case the democrats 529 00:28:34,119 --> 00:28:39,080 Speaker 4: dirty tricks end up working, you know, much better than anticipated. 530 00:28:39,160 --> 00:28:39,360 Speaker 9: Right. 531 00:28:39,440 --> 00:28:45,520 Speaker 4: So that's one possibility there that that it's really about. Sorry, 532 00:28:46,560 --> 00:28:47,640 Speaker 4: no one is kidnapped. 533 00:28:47,880 --> 00:28:49,560 Speaker 2: No one is kidnapped. It's a puppy. 534 00:28:50,200 --> 00:28:52,720 Speaker 4: She's usually so quiet, she sits under the desk during 535 00:28:52,720 --> 00:28:54,760 Speaker 4: the show most days. I don't know how many of 536 00:28:54,800 --> 00:28:57,920 Speaker 4: you have raised a puppy recently. But you know, she's 537 00:28:57,960 --> 00:29:00,280 Speaker 4: decided that she's been good for too long, so away 538 00:29:00,320 --> 00:29:01,720 Speaker 4: back to the So now she's being naughty. 539 00:29:01,760 --> 00:29:02,480 Speaker 2: Back to the news. 540 00:29:03,080 --> 00:29:05,480 Speaker 4: Uh, here's what I here's what I think that the 541 00:29:05,600 --> 00:29:08,120 Speaker 4: challenge for DeSantis in terms of the timing. 542 00:29:07,880 --> 00:29:08,800 Speaker 2: Here Wall Street Journal. 543 00:29:08,880 --> 00:29:11,280 Speaker 4: Do we mentioned they've called on him to drop Yes, 544 00:29:11,560 --> 00:29:15,959 Speaker 4: so there are there are a whole slew of Ted Cruz. 545 00:29:16,040 --> 00:29:18,240 Speaker 3: By the way, we'll play that audio came out and 546 00:29:18,360 --> 00:29:20,280 Speaker 3: endorse He's I mean a lot of his people work 547 00:29:20,320 --> 00:29:23,080 Speaker 3: in the DeSantis campaign, so that's not insignificant, said he 548 00:29:23,080 --> 00:29:23,880 Speaker 3: should drop out. 549 00:29:24,200 --> 00:29:27,760 Speaker 4: He has formally endorsed Donald Trump and said that that 550 00:29:27,760 --> 00:29:31,160 Speaker 4: that Desanta should drop out. CNN is no longer even 551 00:29:31,200 --> 00:29:35,320 Speaker 4: holding a primary debate in New Hampshire because DeSantis right 552 00:29:35,360 --> 00:29:38,280 Speaker 4: now is the only one who has accepted the invitation. 553 00:29:38,440 --> 00:29:39,520 Speaker 4: Think about that, So. 554 00:29:39,680 --> 00:29:42,640 Speaker 3: His credit he's willing to talk and debate. I give 555 00:29:42,680 --> 00:29:43,800 Speaker 3: credit to DeSantis for. 556 00:29:43,760 --> 00:29:47,360 Speaker 4: That, and and the truth of the matter is for 557 00:29:47,440 --> 00:29:50,040 Speaker 4: DeSantis first of all, I would tell CNN, look, I 558 00:29:50,080 --> 00:29:51,680 Speaker 4: should be able to get a town hall out of this, 559 00:29:51,800 --> 00:29:53,560 Speaker 4: right Like, if I'm willing to show up, you know, 560 00:29:54,120 --> 00:29:56,400 Speaker 4: I'm not canceling the dinner date. You guys should make 561 00:29:56,440 --> 00:30:01,240 Speaker 4: good on this. Nicky Haley is staying in it because 562 00:30:01,320 --> 00:30:04,680 Speaker 4: there's no downside for Nicky Haley. She's not in office right, 563 00:30:04,720 --> 00:30:06,520 Speaker 4: so it's not like she has some other job to 564 00:30:06,600 --> 00:30:09,760 Speaker 4: go back to. Haley is tied with Trump in New 565 00:30:09,760 --> 00:30:15,480 Speaker 4: Hampshire and for her, the the fees for speaking and 566 00:30:15,520 --> 00:30:18,480 Speaker 4: for ghosts, written books, et cetera, just go up if 567 00:30:18,480 --> 00:30:22,800 Speaker 4: she wins New Hampshire. So as a brand proposition. As 568 00:30:22,840 --> 00:30:26,959 Speaker 4: a brand proposition, NICKI Haley, I think continues on certainly 569 00:30:26,960 --> 00:30:29,240 Speaker 4: through New Hampshire. The question is does she stop before 570 00:30:29,800 --> 00:30:32,800 Speaker 4: South Carolina? Because that may make sense to Nicky Haley. 571 00:30:32,840 --> 00:30:33,600 Speaker 4: We agree on that. 572 00:30:33,680 --> 00:30:36,520 Speaker 3: I'm just trying to work through if you're and I'm 573 00:30:36,560 --> 00:30:39,800 Speaker 3: curious if you guys have have thought processes on this 574 00:30:39,960 --> 00:30:43,640 Speaker 3: as well. And I'm missing something on DeSantis when the 575 00:30:43,680 --> 00:30:46,600 Speaker 3: poll comes out this morning and it says that he 576 00:30:46,640 --> 00:30:50,760 Speaker 3: has five percent of the support in New Hampshire. Unless 577 00:30:50,800 --> 00:30:53,880 Speaker 3: this is the worst poll ever, and remember all of 578 00:30:53,920 --> 00:30:57,120 Speaker 3: the Iowa poles ended up correct. Right everybody out there 579 00:30:57,120 --> 00:30:59,200 Speaker 3: who's saying, oh the poles are rigged, they don't make sense. 580 00:30:59,320 --> 00:31:03,280 Speaker 3: Iowa poll nearly identical to what the final results were. 581 00:31:03,920 --> 00:31:06,120 Speaker 3: So Desantra is going to have to fight tooth and 582 00:31:06,200 --> 00:31:08,840 Speaker 3: nail to get to double digits at all and. 583 00:31:08,800 --> 00:31:12,400 Speaker 2: Be nowhere near Haley or Trump. What is the game 584 00:31:12,400 --> 00:31:12,840 Speaker 2: plan here? 585 00:31:12,840 --> 00:31:16,040 Speaker 3: I mean, the only thing I can think is that 586 00:31:16,320 --> 00:31:20,360 Speaker 3: they are believing that some lawfair may happen, and they're 587 00:31:20,400 --> 00:31:23,360 Speaker 3: not going to drop out as a result in the 588 00:31:23,400 --> 00:31:25,440 Speaker 3: event that something chaotic happens there. 589 00:31:25,840 --> 00:31:30,880 Speaker 4: We have to remember that there's what's sensible in this campaign, 590 00:31:30,960 --> 00:31:36,000 Speaker 4: what's sensible for their long term political viability, their political brand, 591 00:31:36,040 --> 00:31:38,920 Speaker 4: if you will. And then there's also that thing that 592 00:31:39,560 --> 00:31:42,200 Speaker 4: it's hard to judge but critical to keep in mind, 593 00:31:42,360 --> 00:31:46,680 Speaker 4: ego and the desire to keep going and the desire 594 00:31:46,760 --> 00:31:49,040 Speaker 4: to stay in the fight even when it's looking like 595 00:31:49,600 --> 00:31:53,320 Speaker 4: you have no chance to win. And I think right 596 00:31:53,320 --> 00:31:57,640 Speaker 4: now for the Desantas team and for Nicki Haley, well, 597 00:31:57,720 --> 00:32:00,000 Speaker 4: Nicki Haley, we've already discussed this clear why she's staying in. 598 00:32:00,000 --> 00:32:03,800 Speaker 4: And I'll also say it's funny that Viveke so I 599 00:32:03,800 --> 00:32:07,240 Speaker 4: think it was last summer saying Viveke is basically in 600 00:32:07,320 --> 00:32:12,560 Speaker 4: the race in order to provide additional air cover for 601 00:32:12,640 --> 00:32:18,400 Speaker 4: Trump's campaign by stopping attention from focusing on the people 602 00:32:18,480 --> 00:32:21,280 Speaker 4: that actually want to be president instead of Trump, namely 603 00:32:22,440 --> 00:32:23,560 Speaker 4: DeSantis and Haley. 604 00:32:24,200 --> 00:32:26,640 Speaker 2: And I mean, Vivike got. 605 00:32:26,440 --> 00:32:29,040 Speaker 4: Told he wasn't maga, and a day later Trump says, 606 00:32:29,080 --> 00:32:30,960 Speaker 4: this guy's awesome. He's going to have a big role 607 00:32:30,960 --> 00:32:33,640 Speaker 4: in my campaign. And he drops out of New Hampshire. 608 00:32:33,840 --> 00:32:36,240 Speaker 4: This is exactly what we said was going to happen. 609 00:32:36,480 --> 00:32:38,960 Speaker 4: That he's running as an adjunct of the Trump campaign. 610 00:32:39,240 --> 00:32:41,000 Speaker 4: Everyone's kind of talked about, Oh, we ran such a 611 00:32:41,000 --> 00:32:45,080 Speaker 4: great campaign. Look we technically speaking in terms of his 612 00:32:45,240 --> 00:32:50,520 Speaker 4: skill and his understanding of the media, and his his eloquence. 613 00:32:51,960 --> 00:32:55,880 Speaker 4: Whether you believe it is all intended or not, I mean, 614 00:32:56,040 --> 00:32:59,080 Speaker 4: or it is all you know earnest I should say, 615 00:32:59,160 --> 00:33:02,960 Speaker 4: or not his eloquence and all that, Yes, that's exceptional. 616 00:33:03,480 --> 00:33:05,880 Speaker 4: But he dropped out after the first contest that endorsed 617 00:33:05,880 --> 00:33:09,560 Speaker 4: Trump right away, which is essentially what you would have 618 00:33:09,560 --> 00:33:11,480 Speaker 4: assumed he would do six months ago. Right, So there's 619 00:33:11,480 --> 00:33:14,480 Speaker 4: really not much any finished last than Iowa. So I 620 00:33:14,480 --> 00:33:18,320 Speaker 4: don't think there's any surprise with any of that for Ron. 621 00:33:18,760 --> 00:33:19,320 Speaker 2: You know, no one. 622 00:33:19,360 --> 00:33:21,760 Speaker 4: I don't think anyone's going to remember the prime like this. 623 00:33:21,680 --> 00:33:23,400 Speaker 2: Is the other part of this too. We're so focused 624 00:33:23,400 --> 00:33:24,280 Speaker 2: in on this right now. 625 00:33:24,560 --> 00:33:28,400 Speaker 4: Is anyone even going to remember how Ron does in 626 00:33:28,440 --> 00:33:31,320 Speaker 4: this primary in the next presidential election cycle? 627 00:33:32,080 --> 00:33:33,800 Speaker 2: I don't think so. Donors might. 628 00:33:34,280 --> 00:33:38,280 Speaker 3: Donors might if you gave one hundred million dollars of 629 00:33:38,360 --> 00:33:42,080 Speaker 3: money to Ron DeSantis and he lost by thirty in Iowa, 630 00:33:42,240 --> 00:33:45,200 Speaker 3: and then he lost by forty in New Hampshire. It 631 00:33:45,320 --> 00:33:49,000 Speaker 3: might make you less excited to donate in twenty eight 632 00:33:49,120 --> 00:33:50,760 Speaker 3: where if you yeah, I. 633 00:33:50,720 --> 00:33:52,120 Speaker 4: Was gonna say, I mean, if you wrote a check 634 00:33:52,280 --> 00:33:54,760 Speaker 4: for ten million dollars to a Ron super pack, let's 635 00:33:54,800 --> 00:33:57,760 Speaker 4: just say, don't get any ideas. But if you did that, 636 00:33:59,160 --> 00:34:00,600 Speaker 4: what would you want him to do at this point? 637 00:34:00,640 --> 00:34:00,760 Speaker 8: Though? 638 00:34:00,760 --> 00:34:02,360 Speaker 4: Would you want him to run through the tape even 639 00:34:02,400 --> 00:34:06,080 Speaker 4: though he's a lap behind the next you know? 640 00:34:06,120 --> 00:34:07,840 Speaker 3: So the first let me just say this, if I 641 00:34:07,880 --> 00:34:11,120 Speaker 3: had a billion dollars, I would have given Ron DeSantis 642 00:34:11,200 --> 00:34:13,800 Speaker 3: ten million dollars because he got everything right on COVID. 643 00:34:14,160 --> 00:34:17,200 Speaker 3: And I'm saying if I had a billion dollars, because 644 00:34:17,360 --> 00:34:20,600 Speaker 3: I think you should reward politicians who get things right, 645 00:34:20,760 --> 00:34:23,560 Speaker 3: and nobody got more right on COVID. And I was 646 00:34:23,560 --> 00:34:26,160 Speaker 3: thinking about this some this morning as I was getting ready. 647 00:34:26,160 --> 00:34:26,440 Speaker 2: Buck. 648 00:34:26,920 --> 00:34:29,120 Speaker 3: You and I are both super frustrated that there's been 649 00:34:29,160 --> 00:34:32,600 Speaker 3: no reckoning on COVID, And I jotted down a note 650 00:34:32,600 --> 00:34:35,160 Speaker 3: to myself, why is that right? 651 00:34:35,239 --> 00:34:35,359 Speaker 2: Like? 652 00:34:35,440 --> 00:34:40,040 Speaker 3: Why did Kentucky re elect a COVID tyrant in a 653 00:34:40,120 --> 00:34:43,799 Speaker 3: red state? Andy Basheer gets re elected My theory is 654 00:34:44,280 --> 00:34:47,080 Speaker 3: twenty five percent of people got COVID right. That is, 655 00:34:47,080 --> 00:34:50,520 Speaker 3: we shouldn't have locked down, shouldn't have shut down schools, shouldn't. 656 00:34:50,120 --> 00:34:50,720 Speaker 2: Have worn masks. 657 00:34:50,760 --> 00:34:52,560 Speaker 3: You and me were in that camp, but we were 658 00:34:52,600 --> 00:34:54,840 Speaker 3: a minority and we got ripped to the high heavens 659 00:34:54,880 --> 00:34:58,000 Speaker 3: for years over all that perspective, and there are a 660 00:34:58,040 --> 00:34:59,719 Speaker 3: lot of people listening to us right now that are 661 00:34:59,760 --> 00:35:02,839 Speaker 3: in that camp. Fifty percent of people are ashamed now 662 00:35:03,000 --> 00:35:06,799 Speaker 3: because they just went along with the ascendant mob and 663 00:35:06,840 --> 00:35:10,440 Speaker 3: they pretended that wearing masks mattered, and they did the 664 00:35:10,480 --> 00:35:14,040 Speaker 3: social distancing, and they now know it's not true, but 665 00:35:14,120 --> 00:35:17,319 Speaker 3: they don't want to examine their cowardice and acknowledge that 666 00:35:17,320 --> 00:35:19,839 Speaker 3: they got everything wrong because in the back of their 667 00:35:19,840 --> 00:35:22,320 Speaker 3: mind they knew it made no sense. And then twenty 668 00:35:22,320 --> 00:35:25,319 Speaker 3: five percent or Fauciites, and they're not going to ever 669 00:35:25,400 --> 00:35:28,520 Speaker 3: acknowledge that they were wrong. And that actually makes some 670 00:35:28,719 --> 00:35:31,759 Speaker 3: sense to me because it explains why there isn't a 671 00:35:31,880 --> 00:35:35,759 Speaker 3: majority that has been willing to rain down holy hell 672 00:35:35,800 --> 00:35:38,560 Speaker 3: on all these imbeciles who got everything wrong. And I 673 00:35:38,600 --> 00:35:41,799 Speaker 3: think a big part of Ron DeSantis's campaign, as you 674 00:35:41,840 --> 00:35:44,960 Speaker 3: go back and look at it, retrospectively, let's pretend that 675 00:35:45,040 --> 00:35:47,840 Speaker 3: there were never any charges that were brought against Trump. 676 00:35:47,840 --> 00:35:50,840 Speaker 3: I think that would have changed things. But I don't 677 00:35:50,920 --> 00:35:53,279 Speaker 3: think that You and me, and I think a lot 678 00:35:53,280 --> 00:35:57,040 Speaker 3: of the DeSantis people, we wanted reckonings for COVID, and 679 00:35:57,160 --> 00:35:59,400 Speaker 3: most people were just like I want to pretend that 680 00:35:59,480 --> 00:36:03,000 Speaker 3: never happened and there are no consequences. And I find 681 00:36:03,040 --> 00:36:07,040 Speaker 3: that incredibly unfulfilling. And I know you do, because you 682 00:36:07,160 --> 00:36:09,800 Speaker 3: got ripped to the high heavens. I bet the DeSantis 683 00:36:09,840 --> 00:36:12,400 Speaker 3: team is furious over this because they got ripped to 684 00:36:12,400 --> 00:36:15,000 Speaker 3: the high heavens and they got everything right, and people 685 00:36:15,080 --> 00:36:17,719 Speaker 3: just didn't care. They wanted to turn the page and 686 00:36:17,760 --> 00:36:21,839 Speaker 3: it wasn't a focus. And as a result being right, 687 00:36:22,480 --> 00:36:25,680 Speaker 3: it mattered in Florida for the state election because everybody knew, 688 00:36:26,000 --> 00:36:28,320 Speaker 3: but most of the nation just wants to pretend COVID 689 00:36:28,360 --> 00:36:28,880 Speaker 3: never happened. 690 00:36:28,880 --> 00:36:31,600 Speaker 4: Now, well, I also think that people focus on the 691 00:36:31,600 --> 00:36:34,040 Speaker 4: problems that they have, not the problems that they used 692 00:36:34,080 --> 00:36:36,080 Speaker 4: to have. Well, and that's that's a good point too, 693 00:36:36,280 --> 00:36:38,880 Speaker 4: you know, and that's we have to deal with that 694 00:36:38,960 --> 00:36:43,200 Speaker 4: reality a little bit here, because you know, the reckoning 695 00:36:43,400 --> 00:36:46,279 Speaker 4: didn't come and so now to continue to sit here 696 00:36:46,320 --> 00:36:49,600 Speaker 4: and and focus in on that when we have the 697 00:36:49,640 --> 00:36:51,799 Speaker 4: worst I want to play that Jamie Diamond clip. The 698 00:36:51,840 --> 00:36:54,840 Speaker 4: CEO of JP Morgan Chase on the border, very. 699 00:36:54,680 --> 00:36:58,399 Speaker 3: Inuential if people don't know who he is, super influential 700 00:36:58,520 --> 00:37:00,480 Speaker 3: in the UH, the most. 701 00:37:00,320 --> 00:37:03,880 Speaker 4: Powerful bankers and finance finance voices in the world. Okay, 702 00:37:03,960 --> 00:37:06,440 Speaker 4: so yes, whether you care about his opinions or not, 703 00:37:07,040 --> 00:37:10,160 Speaker 4: Wall Street certainly does. And he's saying that all of 704 00:37:10,200 --> 00:37:11,959 Speaker 4: and you'll, by the way, you'll like what he says 705 00:37:11,960 --> 00:37:13,839 Speaker 4: everyone when you hear at least this one clip, we're 706 00:37:13,840 --> 00:37:17,799 Speaker 4: gonna play because he's spot on. It's totally true. You know, 707 00:37:17,840 --> 00:37:19,520 Speaker 4: the country has a lot of problems right now, and 708 00:37:19,600 --> 00:37:22,160 Speaker 4: COVID isn't one of them. And so I understand why 709 00:37:22,680 --> 00:37:24,719 Speaker 4: at some leve there was a time when I when 710 00:37:24,719 --> 00:37:27,640 Speaker 4: you know, I sat here and I was legitimately like 711 00:37:27,920 --> 00:37:30,040 Speaker 4: I wouldn't say pulling my hair out, that would be hasty, 712 00:37:30,120 --> 00:37:34,440 Speaker 4: but I was legitimately very upset about the lack of reckoning. 713 00:37:34,800 --> 00:37:36,560 Speaker 4: But I think now we're at the point where we've 714 00:37:36,560 --> 00:37:38,520 Speaker 4: made our case, we've set our peace, we've done what 715 00:37:38,560 --> 00:37:41,319 Speaker 4: we can, and a lot of people just feel like Hey, 716 00:37:41,320 --> 00:37:43,200 Speaker 4: can we fix the economy, the border and make sure 717 00:37:43,200 --> 00:37:44,840 Speaker 4: we don't get into a forever war in the Middle 718 00:37:44,840 --> 00:37:48,360 Speaker 4: East with Iran or get more extended into Ukraine. And 719 00:37:48,400 --> 00:37:50,759 Speaker 4: so I get that, right, That's that's now something that 720 00:37:50,760 --> 00:37:53,000 Speaker 4: I think a lot of the we were right on 721 00:37:53,040 --> 00:37:55,239 Speaker 4: COVID and clann are high fiving each traveler on this 722 00:37:55,680 --> 00:37:59,040 Speaker 4: right on COVID, there's other challenges to face, and I 723 00:37:59,040 --> 00:38:02,239 Speaker 4: think that's why Trump is dialed in and a few 724 00:38:02,239 --> 00:38:05,200 Speaker 4: of his well, I don't really know if they're competitors anymore, 725 00:38:05,239 --> 00:38:07,920 Speaker 4: but some of the other challengers in the race are 726 00:38:07,920 --> 00:38:11,040 Speaker 4: also looking at the here and now, so I can 727 00:38:11,760 --> 00:38:14,480 Speaker 4: make sense of that. I don't necessarily agree, but I 728 00:38:14,520 --> 00:38:14,800 Speaker 4: see it. 729 00:38:17,040 --> 00:38:21,120 Speaker 1: If you're listening to twenty four The Year of Impact 730 00:38:21,400 --> 00:38:22,399 Speaker 1: with Clay and. 731 00:38:22,400 --> 00:38:28,360 Speaker 3: Buck Caroline Levitt, who is a New Hampshire height we 732 00:38:28,440 --> 00:38:30,520 Speaker 3: have learned that that is how you define someone from 733 00:38:30,520 --> 00:38:33,080 Speaker 3: New Hampshire over the course of this show, after much 734 00:38:33,880 --> 00:38:38,399 Speaker 3: error in ways, I think probably would be fair to say, Caroline, 735 00:38:39,120 --> 00:38:41,319 Speaker 3: how is the weather in New Hampshire? We know it 736 00:38:41,360 --> 00:38:44,280 Speaker 3: was brutal in Iowa, and what do you expect turnout 737 00:38:44,320 --> 00:38:47,279 Speaker 3: to look like on Tuesday? And for people out there 738 00:38:47,320 --> 00:38:50,560 Speaker 3: who've never been through the primary season. You grew up here, 739 00:38:50,760 --> 00:38:53,000 Speaker 3: what is it like when it comes to the New 740 00:38:53,000 --> 00:38:55,680 Speaker 3: Hampshire primary for residents of New Hampshire. 741 00:38:57,040 --> 00:39:00,840 Speaker 9: Well, first of all, the weather here to Iowa is 742 00:39:00,880 --> 00:39:03,920 Speaker 9: a treat. In fact, some of our Team Trump ground 743 00:39:03,960 --> 00:39:07,280 Speaker 9: staff from Iowa has joined us here in New Hampshire 744 00:39:07,320 --> 00:39:10,400 Speaker 9: to ensure another big victory. And they're saying they feel 745 00:39:10,440 --> 00:39:13,480 Speaker 9: like they're on vacation, but it is still cold. It's 746 00:39:13,520 --> 00:39:16,800 Speaker 9: like thirty degrees, but that's not stopping the enthusiasm on 747 00:39:16,840 --> 00:39:19,720 Speaker 9: the ground. I'm calling you live actually from the Trump 748 00:39:19,760 --> 00:39:24,680 Speaker 9: campaign headquarters, where we are making sure that Republicans across 749 00:39:24,719 --> 00:39:27,720 Speaker 9: the state, in common sense independents who are in fact 750 00:39:27,760 --> 00:39:31,480 Speaker 9: allowed to vote in our primary on Tuesday, get out 751 00:39:31,560 --> 00:39:35,080 Speaker 9: and vote for President Trump. We've made hundreds of thousands 752 00:39:35,080 --> 00:39:38,120 Speaker 9: of direct voter contacts across the entire state. We got 753 00:39:38,160 --> 00:39:40,640 Speaker 9: door knockers on the ground, we have two hundred and 754 00:39:40,640 --> 00:39:44,120 Speaker 9: fifty town captains deploying their armies in their respective towns. 755 00:39:44,480 --> 00:39:47,000 Speaker 9: So we are feeling very confident that President Trump remains 756 00:39:47,040 --> 00:39:49,479 Speaker 9: in a good position to win on Tuesday. And I'll 757 00:39:49,480 --> 00:39:52,840 Speaker 9: tell you, Clay, since you asked being so in New Hampshire, 758 00:39:52,840 --> 00:39:56,520 Speaker 9: this first of the nation primary week is really so special. 759 00:39:56,760 --> 00:39:59,520 Speaker 9: I actually just got lunch with someone from the team 760 00:40:00,239 --> 00:40:02,640 Speaker 9: in a local diner here in Manchester, New Hampshire, and 761 00:40:02,680 --> 00:40:06,880 Speaker 9: our waitress had a forty five times to shirt on 762 00:40:07,080 --> 00:40:09,319 Speaker 9: so she was ready for the primary. I talked to 763 00:40:09,719 --> 00:40:13,040 Speaker 9: a great couple guys in Duncan Donuts this morning who 764 00:40:13,080 --> 00:40:15,120 Speaker 9: are telling me they'll be at the rally and conquered 765 00:40:15,120 --> 00:40:18,360 Speaker 9: tonight for President Trump. So you can steel a buzz 766 00:40:18,400 --> 00:40:21,279 Speaker 9: of excitement in the air. The media ascends on this 767 00:40:21,480 --> 00:40:23,720 Speaker 9: state and it's a lot of fun for the voters 768 00:40:23,719 --> 00:40:26,680 Speaker 9: here and they take their jobs seriously at electing the 769 00:40:26,719 --> 00:40:28,440 Speaker 9: next president of the United States. 770 00:40:28,680 --> 00:40:32,279 Speaker 4: Hey, Caroline, it's buck. Can you tell everybody we see 771 00:40:32,320 --> 00:40:36,680 Speaker 4: some of these reports and trying to explain what the 772 00:40:36,760 --> 00:40:40,319 Speaker 4: rules are in New Hampshire and how it might make 773 00:40:40,360 --> 00:40:42,160 Speaker 4: things a little bit different than they may expect in 774 00:40:42,239 --> 00:40:45,960 Speaker 4: terms of who can vote independence, like you can register 775 00:40:46,080 --> 00:40:49,279 Speaker 4: the same day as something else. What are the specifics 776 00:40:49,320 --> 00:40:51,600 Speaker 4: of how the New Hampshire primaries going down this year 777 00:40:51,640 --> 00:40:54,640 Speaker 4: that people should be aware of about who's eligible and 778 00:40:54,640 --> 00:40:55,520 Speaker 4: how they can vote. 779 00:40:56,480 --> 00:40:59,240 Speaker 9: Yes, I'm glad you asked so we have a semi 780 00:40:59,400 --> 00:41:02,600 Speaker 9: open primary system, so it's a little bit unique from 781 00:41:02,680 --> 00:41:05,520 Speaker 9: other states that just have a regular open primary. The 782 00:41:05,560 --> 00:41:09,239 Speaker 9: way it works that is, registered Republicans, of course, can 783 00:41:09,440 --> 00:41:14,840 Speaker 9: vote in the Republican presidential primary on Tuesday. Unaffiliated voters 784 00:41:14,960 --> 00:41:18,279 Speaker 9: aka independents, whichever you choose to call them, those words 785 00:41:18,280 --> 00:41:23,080 Speaker 9: are synonymous here. Unaffiliated slash independents are also allowed to 786 00:41:23,160 --> 00:41:27,120 Speaker 9: vote in the primary. Now, voters in New Hampshire had 787 00:41:27,239 --> 00:41:31,360 Speaker 9: a chance to switch their party affiliation. That deadline was 788 00:41:31,440 --> 00:41:34,880 Speaker 9: October the sixth, so that deadline has passed. However, we 789 00:41:35,000 --> 00:41:37,719 Speaker 9: do know, based on the data from our Secretary of State, 790 00:41:38,080 --> 00:41:42,520 Speaker 9: that three thousand Democrats did in fact switch their party 791 00:41:42,520 --> 00:41:46,880 Speaker 9: affiliation to be unregistered voters. And we know for a 792 00:41:47,040 --> 00:41:51,200 Speaker 9: fact that Nicki Haley's campaign and also our Governor Kristin Unu, 793 00:41:51,239 --> 00:41:54,319 Speaker 9: who's been touting around with Nicki Haley in our state 794 00:41:54,360 --> 00:41:57,320 Speaker 9: of the past couple of weeks, have really been focused 795 00:41:57,360 --> 00:42:00,719 Speaker 9: on getting those Democrats really to get out and to 796 00:42:00,840 --> 00:42:03,680 Speaker 9: vote in our primary on Tuesday. So what we are 797 00:42:03,760 --> 00:42:06,480 Speaker 9: saying from Team Trump is if you are a registered 798 00:42:06,520 --> 00:42:09,040 Speaker 9: Republican in this state, you better get your butt to 799 00:42:09,080 --> 00:42:11,640 Speaker 9: the polls on Tuesday and vote for the man who 800 00:42:11,640 --> 00:42:14,799 Speaker 9: will deliver on his promises as he did before. And 801 00:42:14,960 --> 00:42:17,719 Speaker 9: if you are an unaffiliated voter, yes, you can still 802 00:42:17,760 --> 00:42:20,680 Speaker 9: go to the polls. Choose wisely, you know, again, choose 803 00:42:20,719 --> 00:42:23,440 Speaker 9: the candidate who's going to secure the border, rebuild the economy, 804 00:42:23,560 --> 00:42:26,200 Speaker 9: reinvest in our energy. We have some of the highest 805 00:42:26,320 --> 00:42:28,520 Speaker 9: energy cost utility bills of any state in this. 806 00:42:28,560 --> 00:42:31,000 Speaker 8: Country thanks to Joe Biden's war on our energy. 807 00:42:31,000 --> 00:42:33,400 Speaker 9: It wasn't that way a few short years ago. So 808 00:42:33,640 --> 00:42:36,680 Speaker 9: unregistered voters can get out and vote on Tuesday. Of course, 809 00:42:36,760 --> 00:42:39,920 Speaker 9: registered Republicans be encouraged to get out as well. But 810 00:42:40,040 --> 00:42:42,640 Speaker 9: Nikki Hayley is harping on the fact that she wants 811 00:42:42,680 --> 00:42:45,480 Speaker 9: those former Democrats to get out and vote for her, 812 00:42:45,640 --> 00:42:47,360 Speaker 9: and that tells you everything you need to know about 813 00:42:47,400 --> 00:42:49,360 Speaker 9: her and where she stands on the key issues. 814 00:42:49,800 --> 00:42:52,239 Speaker 3: Caroline, for people who don't know you, we've had you 815 00:42:52,280 --> 00:42:54,360 Speaker 3: on the show a bunch. You ran for Congress. I 816 00:42:54,360 --> 00:42:56,759 Speaker 3: think you're now twenty seven years old. You might so 817 00:42:56,880 --> 00:43:01,440 Speaker 3: only be twenty six, super young about your background, and 818 00:43:01,480 --> 00:43:03,879 Speaker 3: you got this new job. 819 00:43:04,280 --> 00:43:05,440 Speaker 2: After we'd already booked you. 820 00:43:05,480 --> 00:43:08,040 Speaker 3: I want to say congrats, you're now the National Press 821 00:43:08,080 --> 00:43:10,120 Speaker 3: secretary for the Trump campaign. 822 00:43:10,200 --> 00:43:13,279 Speaker 4: But if you want to say we were early believers 823 00:43:13,280 --> 00:43:15,920 Speaker 4: here because we were trying to help Caroline be the 824 00:43:16,000 --> 00:43:18,760 Speaker 4: youngest to ever win in the state of New Hampshire 825 00:43:18,920 --> 00:43:21,239 Speaker 4: congressional seat, I think you actually would have been the 826 00:43:21,280 --> 00:43:24,080 Speaker 4: youngest member of Congress of all time. So I'm just 827 00:43:24,120 --> 00:43:26,960 Speaker 4: saying some of us, some of us saw talent early, Carolyn. 828 00:43:28,440 --> 00:43:30,440 Speaker 8: Yes, that is right, and I appreciate it. 829 00:43:30,440 --> 00:43:32,439 Speaker 9: You guys very much for always having me on the show. 830 00:43:32,480 --> 00:43:35,000 Speaker 9: It's a pleasure, and I will tell you I speak 831 00:43:35,040 --> 00:43:36,720 Speaker 9: to a lot of great folks here at New Hampshire 832 00:43:36,719 --> 00:43:39,319 Speaker 9: who listened to you guys often. But I did run 833 00:43:39,360 --> 00:43:41,560 Speaker 9: for Congress in twenty twenty two. We had a huge 834 00:43:41,600 --> 00:43:45,840 Speaker 9: primary victory and then unfortunately fell short in the general election. 835 00:43:46,239 --> 00:43:49,919 Speaker 9: But hey, one door closes, another one open. Now I'm 836 00:43:49,960 --> 00:43:52,040 Speaker 9: just so honored and thrilled to be part of President 837 00:43:52,080 --> 00:43:55,600 Speaker 9: Trump's team, and I started the job officially. My first 838 00:43:55,640 --> 00:43:58,759 Speaker 9: full day was Tuesday, and it actually happened to be 839 00:43:58,800 --> 00:44:02,160 Speaker 9: the day that President Trump hosted his first rally of 840 00:44:02,160 --> 00:44:04,680 Speaker 9: the primary week post Iowa, and it was in my 841 00:44:04,920 --> 00:44:07,760 Speaker 9: great hometown, the town of Atkinson, New Hampshire, a tiny 842 00:44:08,160 --> 00:44:11,640 Speaker 9: farm town of two thousand people. So it was a serendipitous, 843 00:44:11,680 --> 00:44:14,840 Speaker 9: full circle moment for sure, and I'm just very excited. 844 00:44:14,920 --> 00:44:17,160 Speaker 9: You know, I did start my career in politics at 845 00:44:17,200 --> 00:44:20,080 Speaker 9: the White House working for President Trump and then decided, 846 00:44:20,120 --> 00:44:22,880 Speaker 9: of course to run for Congress after Joe Biden was 847 00:44:22,920 --> 00:44:25,080 Speaker 9: installed in the White House, and I saw the destruction 848 00:44:25,200 --> 00:44:27,880 Speaker 9: happening to our country very quickly. So it's an honor 849 00:44:27,960 --> 00:44:31,280 Speaker 9: to be on the Trump team for this just historic 850 00:44:31,640 --> 00:44:34,040 Speaker 9: election that we have coming up. And you know, there's 851 00:44:34,080 --> 00:44:36,319 Speaker 9: so much talk about this primary as there should be. 852 00:44:36,400 --> 00:44:38,680 Speaker 9: Republicans need to get out and make their voices heard. 853 00:44:38,920 --> 00:44:41,080 Speaker 9: We also got to keep our eyes on the ball 854 00:44:41,360 --> 00:44:45,400 Speaker 9: focused on November because we cannot afford four more years 855 00:44:45,440 --> 00:44:48,920 Speaker 9: of sleepy Joe calling the shop in the White House, 856 00:44:49,120 --> 00:44:51,280 Speaker 9: if he's even calling them at all. 857 00:44:51,560 --> 00:44:53,799 Speaker 3: Caroline, is this the first primary that you will be 858 00:44:53,840 --> 00:44:56,640 Speaker 3: involved with when Bill Belichick was not the coach of 859 00:44:56,680 --> 00:45:00,160 Speaker 3: the New England Patriots? And if so, how is that 860 00:45:00,520 --> 00:45:03,560 Speaker 3: brutal reality setting in for all of the New England 861 00:45:03,600 --> 00:45:06,520 Speaker 3: Patriot fans as Primary day gets closer and closer. 862 00:45:07,640 --> 00:45:10,600 Speaker 9: You know, I tend to be one of those Patriots fans, 863 00:45:10,680 --> 00:45:13,120 Speaker 9: life long okay, and since you mentioned them in my 864 00:45:13,239 --> 00:45:16,000 Speaker 9: mid twenties, that is true. So I have never really 865 00:45:16,120 --> 00:45:19,880 Speaker 9: known a losing Patriots team. I've grown up here my 866 00:45:19,960 --> 00:45:22,800 Speaker 9: whole life just thinking that we're going to make it 867 00:45:22,840 --> 00:45:25,560 Speaker 9: to the super Bowl every season, and many of seasons 868 00:45:25,560 --> 00:45:28,239 Speaker 9: that came true. But I'm of the camp that I 869 00:45:28,280 --> 00:45:32,200 Speaker 9: think Bill Belichick was nothing without Tom Brady. He never 870 00:45:32,280 --> 00:45:35,480 Speaker 9: would have been without Tom Brady. I love Tom Brady. 871 00:45:35,520 --> 00:45:36,399 Speaker 9: I think he's great. 872 00:45:36,440 --> 00:45:37,520 Speaker 8: He's also a big. 873 00:45:37,320 --> 00:45:39,080 Speaker 9: Fan of President Trump too, so that's a plus. 874 00:45:39,080 --> 00:45:42,319 Speaker 8: But it has been sad news in New England. 875 00:45:41,960 --> 00:45:44,120 Speaker 9: To see Belichick gone, because now it truly feels like 876 00:45:44,160 --> 00:45:48,520 Speaker 9: Patriots dynasty is over, and that's about as hard as 877 00:45:48,600 --> 00:45:51,719 Speaker 9: news as one New Englander can take. So it's been 878 00:45:51,760 --> 00:45:54,480 Speaker 9: a couple of depressing weeks. We'll have to see what 879 00:45:54,560 --> 00:45:56,120 Speaker 9: comes next for our great Patriots. 880 00:45:56,680 --> 00:45:59,320 Speaker 4: So back to politics if I can for a second. 881 00:45:59,360 --> 00:46:01,239 Speaker 4: Although for mo there, I thought you were gonna tell 882 00:46:01,280 --> 00:46:04,080 Speaker 4: us that Tom Brady's a huge Klan Buck fan, so 883 00:46:04,120 --> 00:46:04,960 Speaker 4: I got very excited. 884 00:46:05,719 --> 00:46:06,480 Speaker 2: It'd be nice to hear. 885 00:46:06,600 --> 00:46:09,320 Speaker 4: Yeah, apparently he's a big Trump fan, which that's the 886 00:46:09,400 --> 00:46:12,879 Speaker 4: next best thing. Yeah, ask him. The next best thing 887 00:46:13,000 --> 00:46:15,080 Speaker 4: is to be a clan Buck fan or to be 888 00:46:15,120 --> 00:46:19,000 Speaker 4: a Trump fan. So you guys look like you're gonna 889 00:46:19,080 --> 00:46:22,080 Speaker 4: you're gonna run the table here looking good in New 890 00:46:22,080 --> 00:46:25,400 Speaker 4: Hampshire and elsewhere. I mean, the numbers are the numbers. 891 00:46:25,440 --> 00:46:27,680 Speaker 4: We're all familiar with them. You're probably more familiar that 892 00:46:27,840 --> 00:46:31,960 Speaker 4: than pretty much anybody else. Uh. At this point, is 893 00:46:32,000 --> 00:46:34,359 Speaker 4: Trump just is it a message of unity and it's 894 00:46:34,360 --> 00:46:37,080 Speaker 4: all over? I mean, is is he can you speak 895 00:46:37,160 --> 00:46:40,520 Speaker 4: on his behalf to say that he welcomes any Republicans, independence, 896 00:46:40,600 --> 00:46:42,399 Speaker 4: or even former Democrats into the tent. 897 00:46:42,480 --> 00:46:45,560 Speaker 8: Now, of course we need to unite. 898 00:46:45,600 --> 00:46:48,080 Speaker 9: And as President Trump said in his speech two nights 899 00:46:48,120 --> 00:46:51,520 Speaker 9: to go in New Hampshire, the greatest unifier in this 900 00:46:51,600 --> 00:46:54,799 Speaker 9: country will be six sess. And there's been so much 901 00:46:54,920 --> 00:46:59,080 Speaker 9: chaos and division because of Joe Biden's policies. But also 902 00:46:59,360 --> 00:47:02,480 Speaker 9: you know, he campaigned as being a unifier and chief 903 00:47:02,480 --> 00:47:05,960 Speaker 9: he's been anything but that. His administration is steadfast on 904 00:47:06,239 --> 00:47:10,520 Speaker 9: dividing Americans based on race and gender, religion, creed, whatever 905 00:47:10,560 --> 00:47:12,719 Speaker 9: it is. If President Trump said it the other night, 906 00:47:12,880 --> 00:47:15,720 Speaker 9: success will be the greatest unifier in this country. 907 00:47:15,960 --> 00:47:18,000 Speaker 8: And that's all the man wants to do is bring 908 00:47:18,120 --> 00:47:19,360 Speaker 8: success back to America. 909 00:47:19,440 --> 00:47:20,839 Speaker 9: He said this the other night. He wants to make 910 00:47:20,840 --> 00:47:23,840 Speaker 9: America rich as hell again. I mean that sounds pretty. 911 00:47:23,600 --> 00:47:23,960 Speaker 8: Good to me. 912 00:47:24,040 --> 00:47:26,160 Speaker 9: Who could disagree with that. He wants to keep our 913 00:47:26,200 --> 00:47:28,840 Speaker 9: border secure, he wants to make sure our police are funded. 914 00:47:28,840 --> 00:47:31,640 Speaker 9: He wants to bring peace back to the world stage. 915 00:47:31,760 --> 00:47:34,240 Speaker 9: As you guys know well, Joe Bien's weakness is barreling 916 00:47:34,320 --> 00:47:36,640 Speaker 9: us into a World War three. And so I think 917 00:47:36,719 --> 00:47:40,400 Speaker 9: that's a unifying message that will exceed through this primary 918 00:47:40,440 --> 00:47:41,480 Speaker 9: into the general election. 919 00:47:41,840 --> 00:47:45,160 Speaker 8: So yes, it is time to unify. Absolutely. 920 00:47:45,400 --> 00:47:48,000 Speaker 9: There are still two other Republicans in this race, though, 921 00:47:48,040 --> 00:47:50,759 Speaker 9: who have refused really to take a hard look in 922 00:47:50,800 --> 00:47:51,480 Speaker 9: the mirror and. 923 00:47:51,480 --> 00:47:53,000 Speaker 8: See this for what it is. 924 00:47:53,160 --> 00:47:56,920 Speaker 9: Neither of them have a practical pathways denomination. And you know, 925 00:47:56,960 --> 00:48:00,480 Speaker 9: there's been this spotlight shown on by the mainstream media 926 00:48:00,520 --> 00:48:03,120 Speaker 9: in the last few weeks on Nicki Haley, and the 927 00:48:03,200 --> 00:48:06,040 Speaker 9: truth is she cannot be trusted on the issues that matter. 928 00:48:06,160 --> 00:48:08,759 Speaker 9: She is more of a liberal than she is conservative. 929 00:48:09,080 --> 00:48:12,640 Speaker 9: She's made egregious statements on the border. She supports amnesty, 930 00:48:12,760 --> 00:48:16,880 Speaker 9: she's four open borders. She said that illegal immigrants in 931 00:48:16,880 --> 00:48:20,319 Speaker 9: many cases are more patriotic than hardworking Americans. I mean, 932 00:48:20,320 --> 00:48:24,160 Speaker 9: that's insulting to so many hardworking Americans who feel ripped 933 00:48:24,160 --> 00:48:26,799 Speaker 9: off by the open border policies of the Biden administration 934 00:48:26,960 --> 00:48:29,320 Speaker 9: right now. So I think as more and more people 935 00:48:29,400 --> 00:48:32,160 Speaker 9: come to understand Nikki Haley for who she truly is, 936 00:48:32,760 --> 00:48:37,160 Speaker 9: her chances are diminishing, and she chooses to not drop out. 937 00:48:37,480 --> 00:48:40,839 Speaker 9: After another devastating launch in New Hampshire, I think you'll 938 00:48:40,880 --> 00:48:44,239 Speaker 9: see her political death certificate will be signed in her 939 00:48:44,239 --> 00:48:47,480 Speaker 9: own home state of South Carolina. And so you know, 940 00:48:47,680 --> 00:48:50,800 Speaker 9: it's time for Republicans to unify. I realize President Trump's 941 00:48:50,800 --> 00:48:53,640 Speaker 9: the presumptive nominee, and again we have a real hard 942 00:48:53,680 --> 00:48:56,920 Speaker 9: fight on our hands in November that we need to 943 00:48:57,080 --> 00:48:58,959 Speaker 9: win and President Trump is the man for the job. 944 00:48:59,480 --> 00:49:02,120 Speaker 3: Caroline, and thanks for joining us on the way out. 945 00:49:02,239 --> 00:49:05,239 Speaker 3: Report from the New York Times that Tim Scott is 946 00:49:05,280 --> 00:49:08,759 Speaker 3: going to be at tonight's rally in New Hampshire endorsing 947 00:49:08,880 --> 00:49:09,640 Speaker 3: Donald Trump. 948 00:49:10,080 --> 00:49:12,800 Speaker 2: Do you think that's true. 949 00:49:13,120 --> 00:49:14,000 Speaker 8: I will tell you this. 950 00:49:14,200 --> 00:49:17,719 Speaker 9: I have been bombarded at the Trump campaign headquarters in 951 00:49:17,719 --> 00:49:20,480 Speaker 9: the last couple of hours, so I can't confirm whether 952 00:49:20,520 --> 00:49:23,160 Speaker 9: that is true or not. But as I just said, 953 00:49:23,239 --> 00:49:27,719 Speaker 9: we welcome all people to Team Trump. So that would 954 00:49:27,760 --> 00:49:29,880 Speaker 9: be in great news if it is in fact true. 955 00:49:30,000 --> 00:49:32,480 Speaker 9: If you hear the clapping behind me, that's actually our 956 00:49:32,560 --> 00:49:36,520 Speaker 9: Team Trump headquarters clapping for Senator jd Vance who just arrived. 957 00:49:36,520 --> 00:49:38,879 Speaker 9: He's here something for the president. We have a least 958 00:49:38,880 --> 00:49:42,560 Speaker 9: dephonic coming in tomorrow, so we welcome any and all 959 00:49:42,600 --> 00:49:44,960 Speaker 9: people who want to join the Trump train all the 960 00:49:44,960 --> 00:49:48,560 Speaker 9: way to November. Get yourself up here to New Hampshire 961 00:49:48,960 --> 00:49:49,719 Speaker 9: and let's go win. 962 00:49:50,280 --> 00:49:52,279 Speaker 3: I think there'll be a special guest there tonight. I'm 963 00:49:52,320 --> 00:49:54,399 Speaker 3: just saying, maybe not jd Vance, maybe not, at least 964 00:49:54,400 --> 00:49:58,000 Speaker 3: maybe somebody else.
