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 --> 00:00:07,680
Speaker 1: Sexton Show podcast. Welcome and Clay Travis buck Sexton Show.

3
00:00:07,960 --> 00:00:16,159
Speaker 1: Thursday edition of the program, And Still We Wait. It

4
00:00:16,280 --> 00:00:21,000
Speaker 1: happened in twenty twenty in the same states. All the

5
00:00:21,040 --> 00:00:23,840
Speaker 1: people who claim that they care about democracy, all the

6
00:00:23,840 --> 00:00:28,480
Speaker 1: people who claim that they care so deeply about the

7
00:00:28,680 --> 00:00:32,440
Speaker 1: integrity of our elections, well, as we are sitting here

8
00:00:32,560 --> 00:00:36,320
Speaker 1: speaking to you, three days now, they have had to

9
00:00:36,440 --> 00:00:42,879
Speaker 1: count Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday. Somehow, Arizona has only counted

10
00:00:43,200 --> 00:00:48,800
Speaker 1: seventy percent of its ballots. Somehow, Nevada has only counted

11
00:00:48,880 --> 00:00:53,440
Speaker 1: eighty three percent of its ballots. Candidates on both sides

12
00:00:53,479 --> 00:00:56,960
Speaker 1: are claiming they are going to win. Carry Lake and

13
00:00:57,000 --> 00:00:59,520
Speaker 1: Blake Masters both say they're going to win when the

14
00:00:59,560 --> 00:01:01,880
Speaker 1: totals come in. Carrie Lake has said she's one hundred

15
00:01:01,880 --> 00:01:04,680
Speaker 1: percent certain and it's not going to be remotely close.

16
00:01:05,440 --> 00:01:07,640
Speaker 1: Adam Laxolt has said he is going to win. He

17
00:01:07,680 --> 00:01:10,200
Speaker 1: has shared math of why he believes he is going

18
00:01:10,240 --> 00:01:15,679
Speaker 1: to win. It's a massive deal. If Republicans are able

19
00:01:15,720 --> 00:01:19,160
Speaker 1: to win one of the Senate seats, then it would

20
00:01:19,160 --> 00:01:23,080
Speaker 1: get us back to fifty fifty effectively and mean that

21
00:01:23,160 --> 00:01:26,200
Speaker 1: the Georgia election or fifty forty nine, and mean that

22
00:01:26,200 --> 00:01:29,440
Speaker 1: the Georgia election between Herschel Walker and the Reverend Rafael

23
00:01:29,440 --> 00:01:32,400
Speaker 1: Warnock next month would be control for control of the Senate.

24
00:01:32,440 --> 00:01:36,680
Speaker 1: It's also possible that both Blake Masters and Adam Laxolt

25
00:01:36,680 --> 00:01:40,039
Speaker 1: could end up winning and Herschel would be running seeking

26
00:01:40,400 --> 00:01:44,559
Speaker 1: a fifty second seat as opposed to a fifty first seat.

27
00:01:45,800 --> 00:01:49,200
Speaker 1: Or who knows what exactly is going to go on here,

28
00:01:49,800 --> 00:01:53,840
Speaker 1: but it is telling that this exact same thing buck

29
00:01:54,000 --> 00:01:58,840
Speaker 1: happened in twenty twenty, and the voting went on and

30
00:01:59,000 --> 00:02:02,680
Speaker 1: on and on, and I will just continue to beat

31
00:02:02,720 --> 00:02:05,320
Speaker 1: this drum. And this is something that I've been saying

32
00:02:06,080 --> 00:02:11,160
Speaker 1: since twenty twenty. Every state should have the same policies

33
00:02:11,200 --> 00:02:15,040
Speaker 1: in place as Florida when you fail once, and it's

34
00:02:15,080 --> 00:02:17,760
Speaker 1: fair to say Florida failed in two thousand when it

35
00:02:17,840 --> 00:02:22,519
Speaker 1: came to the extremely tight Bush Vigor election. When they failed,

36
00:02:22,600 --> 00:02:26,720
Speaker 1: they fixed their processes such that the fastest and most

37
00:02:26,840 --> 00:02:30,560
Speaker 1: reliable tally of votes probably anywhere in the country, certainly

38
00:02:30,600 --> 00:02:34,320
Speaker 1: of any populous state, now occurs in Florida. We knew

39
00:02:34,360 --> 00:02:37,200
Speaker 1: to Santus and Rubio at one in landslides by like

40
00:02:37,600 --> 00:02:42,640
Speaker 1: nine thirty eastern basically, and yet we still sit here

41
00:02:42,760 --> 00:02:46,440
Speaker 1: day three, only seventy percent of Arizona according to the

42
00:02:46,480 --> 00:02:49,079
Speaker 1: numbers that I'm looking at right now, and only eighty

43
00:02:49,120 --> 00:02:51,639
Speaker 1: three percent of the ballots in Nevada have been counted,

44
00:02:52,000 --> 00:02:55,280
Speaker 1: and the control of the Senate hangs in the balance.

45
00:02:55,360 --> 00:02:58,680
Speaker 1: The House is looking good, But are we really going

46
00:02:58,720 --> 00:03:01,200
Speaker 1: to repeat this again in twenty four when who the

47
00:03:01,240 --> 00:03:03,799
Speaker 1: President of the United States is? Buck, we sit around

48
00:03:03,800 --> 00:03:06,359
Speaker 1: and wait for days or weeks to see who won

49
00:03:06,480 --> 00:03:10,040
Speaker 1: states comparatively that aren't that populated. I mean, this is crazy,

50
00:03:10,080 --> 00:03:12,760
Speaker 1: This is madness, and we knew it was going to happen,

51
00:03:13,000 --> 00:03:15,320
Speaker 1: and it's happened again. And you know, there's a lot

52
00:03:15,320 --> 00:03:18,840
Speaker 1: of people right now that are doing the after action

53
00:03:19,120 --> 00:03:23,919
Speaker 1: assessment basically, Clay, why was it that? Remember one thing

54
00:03:23,919 --> 00:03:28,400
Speaker 1: that's different about the expected red wave here, and we

55
00:03:28,440 --> 00:03:30,400
Speaker 1: still don't know the outcome, so we don't know what

56
00:03:30,560 --> 00:03:33,200
Speaker 1: it wasn't a red wave. It may have been a

57
00:03:33,280 --> 00:03:37,480
Speaker 1: decent election depending on Senate control. Let's be honest, we're

58
00:03:37,520 --> 00:03:39,760
Speaker 1: on track right now for the House. It's going to

59
00:03:39,840 --> 00:03:44,280
Speaker 1: be very narrow. The New York State congressional races, specifically

60
00:03:44,360 --> 00:03:47,000
Speaker 1: running the table in Long Island, which the GOP did.

61
00:03:47,920 --> 00:03:50,200
Speaker 1: Long Island is big, it could obviously be its own

62
00:03:50,240 --> 00:03:54,200
Speaker 1: state just based on its geography and population and congressional seats.

63
00:03:54,200 --> 00:03:56,600
Speaker 1: Clay out of New York that went red will be

64
00:03:56,720 --> 00:03:59,440
Speaker 1: close to the difference maker for the GOP. But we're

65
00:03:59,480 --> 00:04:02,680
Speaker 1: sitting here, everyone's looking at what happened, and I know

66
00:04:02,720 --> 00:04:04,440
Speaker 1: there's a little bit of acrimony right now, there's a

67
00:04:04,480 --> 00:04:06,000
Speaker 1: bit of finger pointing, and you know what I say

68
00:04:06,080 --> 00:04:09,720
Speaker 1: to that, good? Good. We should figure out how to

69
00:04:09,760 --> 00:04:11,960
Speaker 1: do better next time. We should figure out what went

70
00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:14,480
Speaker 1: wrong here. We shouldn't just all surround and say, oh,

71
00:04:14,560 --> 00:04:18,480
Speaker 1: we did our best. We did our best. That is unacceptable.

72
00:04:18,520 --> 00:04:20,600
Speaker 1: This could have been better. And one of the things

73
00:04:20,600 --> 00:04:22,440
Speaker 1: that I want to focus in on. Of course, we

74
00:04:22,440 --> 00:04:25,599
Speaker 1: can talk candidate quality, and people are going to point out,

75
00:04:25,720 --> 00:04:28,880
Speaker 1: we're really going to discuss candidate quality when John Federman

76
00:04:28,920 --> 00:04:31,479
Speaker 1: got elect the problem with candidate quality. We're really going

77
00:04:31,520 --> 00:04:34,440
Speaker 1: to talk candidate quality when the Democrats for the state

78
00:04:34,520 --> 00:04:38,720
Speaker 1: Senate in Pennsylvania elected a person who died last month,

79
00:04:39,160 --> 00:04:42,640
Speaker 1: that actually happened. Yeah, this is this is what we're

80
00:04:42,720 --> 00:04:45,200
Speaker 1: we're dealing. But but good, let's have that fight. And

81
00:04:45,279 --> 00:04:47,840
Speaker 1: part of the fight that I want to have, part

82
00:04:47,839 --> 00:04:51,440
Speaker 1: of the back and forth that I think is worth

83
00:04:51,440 --> 00:04:53,920
Speaker 1: talking about. By the way, I mentioned this guy as

84
00:04:53,920 --> 00:04:57,960
Speaker 1: a Pennsylvania state rep. I should say Pennsylvania state representative reelected.

85
00:04:58,440 --> 00:05:03,400
Speaker 1: Anthony de Luca was Pennsylvania's longest serving state representative. He

86
00:05:03,560 --> 00:05:06,240
Speaker 1: was the choice in eighty five percent of votes cast,

87
00:05:06,640 --> 00:05:10,600
Speaker 1: which is remarkable because he died on October ninth. Now

88
00:05:10,640 --> 00:05:13,840
Speaker 1: that's very sad for him and his family, but he

89
00:05:13,880 --> 00:05:18,160
Speaker 1: won the election and he's dead. So for people who

90
00:05:18,200 --> 00:05:19,760
Speaker 1: are going to sit around and you know, we're going

91
00:05:19,800 --> 00:05:23,200
Speaker 1: to talk about how how could they vote for Fetterman, friends,

92
00:05:23,680 --> 00:05:28,880
Speaker 1: we are in warring political machine mode. It is trench warfare.

93
00:05:28,920 --> 00:05:31,800
Speaker 1: It is our side, their side, who has power, who

94
00:05:31,839 --> 00:05:34,200
Speaker 1: actually gets their way? We need to understand the rules

95
00:05:34,200 --> 00:05:36,040
Speaker 1: of the road here. And to that end, Clay I

96
00:05:36,040 --> 00:05:37,400
Speaker 1: would put I just want to put this out there,

97
00:05:37,400 --> 00:05:39,839
Speaker 1: because yeah, we're gonna fight over candidates. We're gonna talk about,

98
00:05:40,320 --> 00:05:41,880
Speaker 1: you know, who is a good pick, who is of

99
00:05:41,920 --> 00:05:43,640
Speaker 1: course right, this is the way it's supposed to be,

100
00:05:43,760 --> 00:05:46,920
Speaker 1: especially getting ready for a presidential election. I want to

101
00:05:46,920 --> 00:05:49,720
Speaker 1: put out there that instead of us just sitting around

102
00:05:49,800 --> 00:05:52,960
Speaker 1: saying we need to change, we need to change the

103
00:05:53,040 --> 00:05:57,440
Speaker 1: rules in states that are clearly skewed to favor Democrats.

104
00:05:58,040 --> 00:06:00,120
Speaker 1: We also need to fight the war that we're in

105
00:06:00,160 --> 00:06:02,920
Speaker 1: when we're in it. We also need to have early

106
00:06:03,000 --> 00:06:07,320
Speaker 1: voting campaigns on the Republican side. We also need to say,

107
00:06:07,320 --> 00:06:09,640
Speaker 1: you know what, darn it, if they're going to have

108
00:06:09,760 --> 00:06:12,080
Speaker 1: mail in ballots, We're going to get our people to

109
00:06:12,080 --> 00:06:14,480
Speaker 1: do mail in ballots. You know, Republicans, out of principle,

110
00:06:14,560 --> 00:06:18,000
Speaker 1: we say voting should be one day, one person, one vote.

111
00:06:18,160 --> 00:06:21,080
Speaker 1: I agree with that, But if we keep allowing them

112
00:06:21,400 --> 00:06:24,520
Speaker 1: to have all these advantages, a month of early voting,

113
00:06:24,600 --> 00:06:27,880
Speaker 1: mail in balloting that we don't take advantage of, we

114
00:06:27,960 --> 00:06:32,200
Speaker 1: are going to lose in a hyper polarized, very narrow

115
00:06:32,240 --> 00:06:35,640
Speaker 1: political environment. So I think that's starting to come. And

116
00:06:35,720 --> 00:06:37,880
Speaker 1: by the way, if we win in these states, Clay,

117
00:06:38,080 --> 00:06:40,200
Speaker 1: or if we win at Congress, depends what we're talking about,

118
00:06:40,480 --> 00:06:43,039
Speaker 1: then we can change the rules. Then we can say,

119
00:06:43,040 --> 00:06:44,840
Speaker 1: hold on a second, this mail in balloting. But if

120
00:06:44,839 --> 00:06:47,320
Speaker 1: we keep losing in some of these states, I mean,

121
00:06:47,360 --> 00:06:51,000
Speaker 1: look to your point about Arizona and Nevada, we weren't

122
00:06:51,000 --> 00:06:54,640
Speaker 1: able to change things in Arizona. They didn't change them.

123
00:06:54,920 --> 00:06:57,200
Speaker 1: So here we are again dealing with the same thing.

124
00:06:57,680 --> 00:06:59,839
Speaker 1: So yeah, we have to fix it. And part of

125
00:07:00,000 --> 00:07:02,680
Speaker 1: fixing it is making sure you win. Basically, this is

126
00:07:02,680 --> 00:07:05,000
Speaker 1: my winning is everything speech, and folks, is time to

127
00:07:05,080 --> 00:07:07,400
Speaker 1: roll up the sleeves and get into it. We're gonna

128
00:07:07,400 --> 00:07:09,640
Speaker 1: have carry Lake at two thirty so we will get

129
00:07:09,640 --> 00:07:13,360
Speaker 1: the absolute latest from Arizona from Carry Lake, who says

130
00:07:13,400 --> 00:07:16,040
Speaker 1: she's going to win that race. Maybe Arizona will have

131
00:07:16,120 --> 00:07:18,840
Speaker 1: released more votes by then. We don't know what in

132
00:07:18,880 --> 00:07:22,640
Speaker 1: the world's going on. It's crazy. Also, we should point out,

133
00:07:22,680 --> 00:07:26,480
Speaker 1: do you know who's overseeing the elections right now? It's

134
00:07:27,880 --> 00:07:30,600
Speaker 1: she was brought into the election of governor. She didn't

135
00:07:30,640 --> 00:07:33,280
Speaker 1: pull herself out, she didn't recuse herself. So now we

136
00:07:33,400 --> 00:07:37,880
Speaker 1: have an incredibly tight election with thirty percent of the

137
00:07:37,880 --> 00:07:41,480
Speaker 1: ballot still outstanding, and the person who stands to gain

138
00:07:41,560 --> 00:07:45,840
Speaker 1: the most by the results in Arizona is overseeing the

139
00:07:45,880 --> 00:07:49,800
Speaker 1: election and probably has access to far more information about

140
00:07:49,800 --> 00:07:53,080
Speaker 1: the tallies where the votes are frankly where the votes

141
00:07:53,080 --> 00:07:57,200
Speaker 1: are stored, than anybody on the Republican side. And I

142
00:07:57,320 --> 00:08:00,560
Speaker 1: just come back to Buck, if you truly care, if

143
00:08:00,600 --> 00:08:06,200
Speaker 1: you truly care about the sanctity of elections and who wins,

144
00:08:06,760 --> 00:08:10,960
Speaker 1: we have to have vote tallies in within twelve hours,

145
00:08:11,000 --> 00:08:13,400
Speaker 1: ten hours, whatever number you want to say. Really it

146
00:08:13,400 --> 00:08:16,680
Speaker 1: should be election night. We should know who won every race. Now,

147
00:08:16,920 --> 00:08:19,080
Speaker 1: if it comes down to a couple of hundred votes

148
00:08:19,160 --> 00:08:20,960
Speaker 1: or a thousand votes or something like that, and you

149
00:08:20,960 --> 00:08:23,360
Speaker 1: have to go back and you have to recount, that's fine.

150
00:08:23,920 --> 00:08:26,720
Speaker 1: But this idea that Arizona has only managed to count

151
00:08:26,760 --> 00:08:30,240
Speaker 1: seventy percent of its votes after this exact thing happened

152
00:08:30,640 --> 00:08:32,920
Speaker 1: in twenty twenty. It's not like they didn't have on

153
00:08:33,040 --> 00:08:36,040
Speaker 1: notice this might happen. Same thing happened in Nevada. How

154
00:08:36,120 --> 00:08:39,360
Speaker 1: is this possible? How are we sitting here with this

155
00:08:39,520 --> 00:08:44,200
Speaker 1: result given what is going on in the country and

156
00:08:44,320 --> 00:08:46,640
Speaker 1: the fact that the Senates at stake. Now hopefully we

157
00:08:46,760 --> 00:08:48,920
Speaker 1: got the House, but even that's not resolved because we're

158
00:08:48,960 --> 00:08:51,679
Speaker 1: still waiting on some of these other states. California is

159
00:08:51,720 --> 00:08:53,040
Speaker 1: going to take forever. I mean, we got a lot

160
00:08:53,040 --> 00:08:55,840
Speaker 1: of people listening. They said in the mayor's race in California,

161
00:08:55,880 --> 00:08:59,000
Speaker 1: Buck that may not release new totals until Friday, and

162
00:08:59,080 --> 00:09:01,880
Speaker 1: that's supertight. Some guy I don't know who was not

163
00:09:01,880 --> 00:09:04,360
Speaker 1: one I know or follow. On Twitter, he tweeted out

164
00:09:05,080 --> 00:09:08,320
Speaker 1: that I'm currently sitting here with a supercomputer in my

165
00:09:08,400 --> 00:09:11,280
Speaker 1: pocket that connects to satellites that allows me to order

166
00:09:11,720 --> 00:09:14,520
Speaker 1: you know, pizza with pineapple on it in my underwear,

167
00:09:15,200 --> 00:09:17,880
Speaker 1: but we can't get all the votes counted in one night.

168
00:09:18,040 --> 00:09:20,480
Speaker 1: I mean, it is pretty remarkable when you think about this.

169
00:09:20,520 --> 00:09:24,360
Speaker 1: But it's also I know it's by design. We know

170
00:09:24,880 --> 00:09:27,000
Speaker 1: that they want all these lax rules. They want to

171
00:09:27,040 --> 00:09:30,240
Speaker 1: try to do every advantage, and the Democrats are pleading

172
00:09:30,240 --> 00:09:32,360
Speaker 1: to the refs in the game while they're playing it

173
00:09:32,880 --> 00:09:35,080
Speaker 1: there and maybe doing worse too. I know some of

174
00:09:35,120 --> 00:09:38,000
Speaker 1: your actually buck they're buying them off. Okay, fine, but

175
00:09:38,080 --> 00:09:40,959
Speaker 1: we still have to win. I mean this also comes

176
00:09:40,960 --> 00:09:44,079
Speaker 1: down to the fundamental question I mean people are facing,

177
00:09:44,120 --> 00:09:47,880
Speaker 1: I think now in twenty twenty. Okay, yeah, did they

178
00:09:47,960 --> 00:09:50,360
Speaker 1: change the rules to favor them, yes? Did they break

179
00:09:50,440 --> 00:09:53,880
Speaker 1: state constitutions and in my view, break laws to do that? Yes?

180
00:09:54,160 --> 00:09:57,960
Speaker 1: Did they cheat? Yes? Is Donald Trump the president right now? No?

181
00:09:58,920 --> 00:10:01,800
Speaker 1: How do we fix the these things so that we win?

182
00:10:02,440 --> 00:10:05,040
Speaker 1: And I think that we get so wrapped up in

183
00:10:05,040 --> 00:10:07,320
Speaker 1: the principle of oh, well, look what they're doing. Yeah,

184
00:10:07,360 --> 00:10:10,000
Speaker 1: look what they're doing. Look how they're playing the game,

185
00:10:10,360 --> 00:10:14,280
Speaker 1: look at how they try to skew the the battlefield

186
00:10:14,320 --> 00:10:18,000
Speaker 1: in their favor, and you're gonna have super narrow, super

187
00:10:18,040 --> 00:10:20,760
Speaker 1: tight elections in these states. So I do think it's

188
00:10:20,760 --> 00:10:22,040
Speaker 1: some level clay. This is a bit of a wake

189
00:10:22,120 --> 00:10:24,320
Speaker 1: up call, because yeah, there's also there's a lot of

190
00:10:24,360 --> 00:10:27,160
Speaker 1: exit polling that shows a lot of independence of the

191
00:10:27,240 --> 00:10:29,679
Speaker 1: last minute seemed to switch actually toward Democrat votes, or

192
00:10:29,679 --> 00:10:32,320
Speaker 1: at least toward ticket splitting, and that ticket splitting has

193
00:10:32,360 --> 00:10:35,959
Speaker 1: been brutal for us. Yes, in Georgia, a lot of

194
00:10:36,280 --> 00:10:39,040
Speaker 1: young people usually don't go out and vote. And by young,

195
00:10:39,160 --> 00:10:42,679
Speaker 1: I mean the most ignorant gen z, their gen z, right,

196
00:10:42,720 --> 00:10:45,680
Speaker 1: the twenty year olds. Yeah, yeah, that was like such

197
00:10:45,720 --> 00:10:49,800
Speaker 1: a moment. Is the gen z is the young generation? Right?

198
00:10:50,040 --> 00:10:54,360
Speaker 1: The gen Z out there? They're actually they voted in

199
00:10:54,360 --> 00:10:56,880
Speaker 1: pretty large numbers. Some of these get out the vote efforts,

200
00:10:56,880 --> 00:11:00,760
Speaker 1: even though they're based on the absurd threats to our democracy.

201
00:11:01,240 --> 00:11:03,160
Speaker 1: What we're seeing is yeah, to you, to me, to

202
00:11:03,320 --> 00:11:06,960
Speaker 1: emotionally stable adults, and this was our analysis, threats to

203
00:11:07,040 --> 00:11:10,160
Speaker 1: democracy doesn't make you want to go vote, that's absurd.

204
00:11:10,480 --> 00:11:12,920
Speaker 1: But if you're twenty five and you think we're like

205
00:11:13,160 --> 00:11:16,160
Speaker 1: literally never gonna have another election, because like, that's what

206
00:11:16,200 --> 00:11:19,640
Speaker 1: I learned in college because I am indoctrinated by leftist lunatics.

207
00:11:20,080 --> 00:11:23,040
Speaker 1: They showed up and voted. Yeah, act, you're eighteen and

208
00:11:23,120 --> 00:11:25,880
Speaker 1: on campus. You really don't know any better. Buck. I mean,

209
00:11:26,080 --> 00:11:27,640
Speaker 1: the older you get, you look back and you're like,

210
00:11:27,679 --> 00:11:31,560
Speaker 1: an eighteen year old today was born in two thousand

211
00:11:31,559 --> 00:11:34,560
Speaker 1: and four. I mean that's crazy because a lot of

212
00:11:34,559 --> 00:11:36,120
Speaker 1: you listen to me right now are like, you know,

213
00:11:36,160 --> 00:11:38,360
Speaker 1: you still have shorts and t shirts from two thousand

214
00:11:38,360 --> 00:11:42,160
Speaker 1: and four that you regularly wear around. But you think

215
00:11:43,240 --> 00:11:46,080
Speaker 1: when you are eighteen years old that everything is the

216
00:11:46,120 --> 00:11:48,400
Speaker 1: most important thing that's ever happened in the history of

217
00:11:48,400 --> 00:11:51,800
Speaker 1: the world, because to you it is, and you don't

218
00:11:51,840 --> 00:11:56,680
Speaker 1: have that knowledge of, hey, here's what has happened historically.

219
00:11:56,679 --> 00:12:00,640
Speaker 1: I've been through several elections before, so they're uniquely swaytable

220
00:12:00,920 --> 00:12:04,640
Speaker 1: to this craziness of hey, you know, if we don't

221
00:12:04,640 --> 00:12:07,640
Speaker 1: win this election, then democracy ends. They're like, oh my goodness,

222
00:12:07,679 --> 00:12:09,440
Speaker 1: I better go vote. It also looks like it's going

223
00:12:09,480 --> 00:12:11,440
Speaker 1: to be the case, Buck, And I'm curious when we

224
00:12:11,440 --> 00:12:14,560
Speaker 1: get the final tallies, way more Republicans look like they're

225
00:12:14,559 --> 00:12:17,439
Speaker 1: going to have voted in this mid term election than Democrats.

226
00:12:17,920 --> 00:12:23,040
Speaker 1: I'm curious how much of the red vote is now

227
00:12:23,400 --> 00:12:25,600
Speaker 1: in states that are way redder. There's been a source

228
00:12:25,640 --> 00:12:27,880
Speaker 1: of Tennessee. It's a huge it's a huge part of it.

229
00:12:28,120 --> 00:12:31,760
Speaker 1: I mean, notice, how because we actually understand that elections

230
00:12:31,800 --> 00:12:33,880
Speaker 1: are a process with rules, and we're not trying to

231
00:12:33,880 --> 00:12:35,920
Speaker 1: break them all the time. Although we shouldn't sit around

232
00:12:35,960 --> 00:12:38,559
Speaker 1: and say, oh but but in principle it should all

233
00:12:38,600 --> 00:12:40,760
Speaker 1: be on election day and then people end up not

234
00:12:40,840 --> 00:12:44,240
Speaker 1: showing up or they have something comes up. We don't

235
00:12:44,280 --> 00:12:46,360
Speaker 1: sit around and cry about the fact that the House

236
00:12:47,000 --> 00:12:50,120
Speaker 1: GOP won the popular vote by five million votes in

237
00:12:50,120 --> 00:12:52,920
Speaker 1: this election. So far, so so far, I should say,

238
00:12:52,920 --> 00:12:54,600
Speaker 1: but I mean that's I mean, they're gonna win the

239
00:12:54,600 --> 00:12:57,400
Speaker 1: popular vote, yes, But you and I know popular vote

240
00:12:57,400 --> 00:13:00,440
Speaker 1: doesn't matter. Popular vote in a token gets you on subly.

241
00:13:00,480 --> 00:13:02,560
Speaker 1: Actually a token doesn't even get you on the subway anymore.

242
00:13:02,559 --> 00:13:04,199
Speaker 1: It's got to be a metro card. But you guys

243
00:13:04,240 --> 00:13:06,240
Speaker 1: know what I mean. So we're going to play the

244
00:13:06,240 --> 00:13:09,079
Speaker 1: game by the rules that exist, and we got to

245
00:13:09,120 --> 00:13:11,400
Speaker 1: play it to win. And I just think, yeah, Clay,

246
00:13:11,440 --> 00:13:13,800
Speaker 1: we had better messaging. Yeah, the country's doing crappy, but

247
00:13:13,840 --> 00:13:16,520
Speaker 1: you know what, they're figuring out how to get the

248
00:13:16,600 --> 00:13:19,840
Speaker 1: votes counted in their favor, and that it's like points

249
00:13:19,880 --> 00:13:23,360
Speaker 1: on the scoreboard. That's where we are. There's no doubt.

250
00:13:25,760 --> 00:13:28,960
Speaker 1: And so as we continue and break down this, more

251
00:13:29,120 --> 00:13:31,920
Speaker 1: and more will come back and we'll give you more

252
00:13:32,000 --> 00:13:35,000
Speaker 1: and more details surrounding these races. Again, we're gonna have

253
00:13:35,120 --> 00:13:37,920
Speaker 1: Carrie Lake at two thirty, Annapolina Luna who won one

254
00:13:37,960 --> 00:13:41,440
Speaker 1: of these races in Florida at one forty five, and

255
00:13:42,000 --> 00:13:44,240
Speaker 1: Governor of Tennessee. Maybe we'll talk about some of this

256
00:13:44,320 --> 00:13:48,280
Speaker 1: sorting that's going on. Governor of Tennessee won by record magnitudes.

257
00:13:48,840 --> 00:13:51,320
Speaker 1: We'll see exactly what ends up taking place there. But

258
00:13:51,360 --> 00:13:53,040
Speaker 1: in the meantime, I gotta tell you, if you're out

Speaker 1: of you hanging out with us. We're headed out to

283
00:15:06,360 --> 00:15:08,640
Speaker 1: the great state of Arizona. Actually I'm hopping a flight

284
00:15:08,920 --> 00:15:10,920
Speaker 1: soon after We finished the show today because I'm speaking

285
00:15:11,120 --> 00:15:14,240
Speaker 1: in the Phoenix area tomorrow night, tomorrow afternoon. I don't know.

286
00:15:14,240 --> 00:15:16,200
Speaker 1: I can barely keep up with a schedule. But importantly,

287
00:15:16,240 --> 00:15:19,400
Speaker 1: we've got the next governor of Arizona, Carry Lake, joining

288
00:15:19,480 --> 00:15:23,240
Speaker 1: us now. Carry. We've been talking about Arizona ever since

289
00:15:23,280 --> 00:15:25,960
Speaker 1: the election ended. Thanks for taking the time to join us.

290
00:15:26,520 --> 00:15:29,840
Speaker 1: How many ballots are outstanding? What in the world's going on?

291
00:15:30,200 --> 00:15:32,760
Speaker 1: What should everyone who is rooting for you to be

292
00:15:32,800 --> 00:15:35,200
Speaker 1: the next governor of Arizona, which is pretty much everybody

293
00:15:35,240 --> 00:15:37,680
Speaker 1: listening to us right now, know about the state of

294
00:15:37,720 --> 00:15:41,600
Speaker 1: the race and where we're headed. Well, I'm sorry, we're

295
00:15:41,680 --> 00:15:46,760
Speaker 1: leading another embarrassing election. It's disgraceful what's going on here?

296
00:15:46,960 --> 00:15:49,120
Speaker 1: And this is why we needed to reform our elections

297
00:15:49,120 --> 00:15:51,960
Speaker 1: after twenty twenty and I kept talking about it. They

298
00:15:52,000 --> 00:15:55,520
Speaker 1: called me all kinds of names, conspiracy theorists and you know,

299
00:15:55,640 --> 00:15:58,440
Speaker 1: the media of fake news, said, you can't talk about elections,

300
00:15:58,480 --> 00:16:01,720
Speaker 1: you can't bring up any issue. Is how dare you? Well?

301
00:16:01,760 --> 00:16:04,000
Speaker 1: This is why I was bringing up issues, because I

302
00:16:04,080 --> 00:16:07,280
Speaker 1: was hoping we have leaders who would do something about

303
00:16:07,280 --> 00:16:12,680
Speaker 1: it and restore substanity, honesty, clarity, and transparency to our elections,

304
00:16:12,760 --> 00:16:15,200
Speaker 1: and they failed us, and here we are again the

305
00:16:15,320 --> 00:16:18,440
Speaker 1: laughing stock of the world. The world is watching this election,

306
00:16:18,480 --> 00:16:21,840
Speaker 1: by the way, based on the amount of international news

307
00:16:21,920 --> 00:16:25,200
Speaker 1: has been following our campaign and the biggest political movement

308
00:16:25,200 --> 00:16:28,480
Speaker 1: we've ever seen in this state with our campaign, and

309
00:16:28,520 --> 00:16:31,480
Speaker 1: they can't pull their head out and count ballots. They

310
00:16:31,520 --> 00:16:33,160
Speaker 1: don't know what the heck they're doing. And we're going

311
00:16:33,200 --> 00:16:35,960
Speaker 1: to when I get into office, we will restore faith

312
00:16:36,000 --> 00:16:39,960
Speaker 1: in our elections immediately, immediately. Paras don't tell you what

313
00:16:40,080 --> 00:16:41,880
Speaker 1: we have now. These are the numbers. We have six

314
00:16:42,000 --> 00:16:45,120
Speaker 1: hundred more than six hundred and twenty thousand votes left

315
00:16:45,160 --> 00:16:48,720
Speaker 1: to be tallied. This is at least what we've been given,

316
00:16:49,320 --> 00:16:53,600
Speaker 1: and we're told that of those three hundred and eighty

317
00:16:53,760 --> 00:16:59,080
Speaker 1: five thousand, roughly are mail and ballots that people brought

318
00:16:59,160 --> 00:17:01,800
Speaker 1: to the polling plays on election day and dropped off.

319
00:17:02,240 --> 00:17:04,639
Speaker 1: We think we're going to get anywhere from sixty to

320
00:17:04,840 --> 00:17:07,480
Speaker 1: maybe even as high as eighty percent of those because

321
00:17:07,520 --> 00:17:10,080
Speaker 1: these are people who don't trust the system, don't trust

322
00:17:10,160 --> 00:17:13,240
Speaker 1: the drop boxes, didn't want to put their ballot in

323
00:17:13,320 --> 00:17:16,359
Speaker 1: a mailbox and hand delivered it. The votes that are

324
00:17:16,440 --> 00:17:18,200
Speaker 1: left to be counted. We believe are going to go

325
00:17:18,359 --> 00:17:21,320
Speaker 1: heavy to the Republican side, and so we're confident we're

326
00:17:21,320 --> 00:17:23,960
Speaker 1: going to win. Of course, they slow roll the results

327
00:17:24,080 --> 00:17:26,760
Speaker 1: and it leads to a lot of distrust in the system.

328
00:17:27,119 --> 00:17:30,159
Speaker 1: It's disappointing. Yeah, Carrie, it's buck. I just want to

329
00:17:30,200 --> 00:17:32,840
Speaker 1: know what are the things that could be done to

330
00:17:33,200 --> 00:17:36,800
Speaker 1: fix this situation. I mean, now you saw it before,

331
00:17:37,080 --> 00:17:39,840
Speaker 1: you warned everybody, and now you're living in We're all

332
00:17:39,920 --> 00:17:42,200
Speaker 1: living it with you because we want this thing to

333
00:17:42,240 --> 00:17:43,760
Speaker 1: be over and for you to be the next governor

334
00:17:43,800 --> 00:17:47,960
Speaker 1: of Arizona. It's kind of just how is this so hard?

335
00:17:48,080 --> 00:17:49,639
Speaker 1: I mean, that's the really good question. I would ask you,

336
00:17:49,720 --> 00:17:51,760
Speaker 1: what are they doing wrong? How can they make this

337
00:17:51,840 --> 00:17:55,720
Speaker 1: so difficult? Well, it's you know, the early ballots. We

338
00:17:55,800 --> 00:17:57,720
Speaker 1: have a lot of mail in ballots that go out

339
00:17:57,760 --> 00:18:00,280
Speaker 1: and people some people get them right away and send

340
00:18:00,320 --> 00:18:02,320
Speaker 1: them in, and others think about it for a while

341
00:18:02,400 --> 00:18:04,440
Speaker 1: and they decide they don't want to mail them in.

342
00:18:04,520 --> 00:18:06,359
Speaker 1: Some of them walked them in because they don't trust

343
00:18:06,400 --> 00:18:09,840
Speaker 1: the drop boxes. They've done nothing to allow where people

344
00:18:09,880 --> 00:18:13,439
Speaker 1: didn't trust the drop boxes. The answer by our election

345
00:18:13,520 --> 00:18:16,680
Speaker 1: officials was how dare you not trust the drop boxes.

346
00:18:16,840 --> 00:18:19,160
Speaker 1: Rather than do something about it so that people could

347
00:18:19,600 --> 00:18:22,600
Speaker 1: trust them, they just said, how dare you ask questions?

348
00:18:22,880 --> 00:18:25,520
Speaker 1: And that has led to people showing up on election

349
00:18:25,600 --> 00:18:28,239
Speaker 1: day with a mail in ballot the most we've ever

350
00:18:28,320 --> 00:18:31,800
Speaker 1: received on any election day received where they were handed

351
00:18:31,840 --> 00:18:34,480
Speaker 1: off on election day, and that shows a distrust in

352
00:18:34,520 --> 00:18:37,200
Speaker 1: the system because we weren't allowed to ask questions or

353
00:18:37,240 --> 00:18:40,000
Speaker 1: even talk about it without the risk of being canceled

354
00:18:40,040 --> 00:18:42,840
Speaker 1: and censored. So now we have a lot of mail

355
00:18:42,920 --> 00:18:46,919
Speaker 1: in ballots that to have signature verification be opened up

356
00:18:46,960 --> 00:18:50,240
Speaker 1: and processed. Not to mention, I just got my hands

357
00:18:50,359 --> 00:18:55,720
Speaker 1: on one of the election integrity hotline sheets that list

358
00:18:55,880 --> 00:18:58,920
Speaker 1: all the calls that came in, literally hundreds of calls

359
00:18:59,000 --> 00:19:02,680
Speaker 1: that came in on election day, and frankly, it is

360
00:19:02,800 --> 00:19:05,560
Speaker 1: disturbing the things that people reporting that they saw an

361
00:19:05,560 --> 00:19:08,520
Speaker 1: election day. We've got to do better, we really do.

362
00:19:08,760 --> 00:19:10,880
Speaker 1: We can't have these elections being run like we're living

363
00:19:10,920 --> 00:19:13,800
Speaker 1: in a Banana Republic. And you know, I just hope

364
00:19:14,160 --> 00:19:17,320
Speaker 1: that they're being honest down there, that there's not any

365
00:19:17,560 --> 00:19:20,840
Speaker 1: shenanigans being played down at Maricopa County. I'm so tired

366
00:19:20,920 --> 00:19:25,080
Speaker 1: of Arizona being the lapping stock of elections, and we're

367
00:19:25,119 --> 00:19:27,840
Speaker 1: not just keeping the good people of Arizona waiting for results.

368
00:19:28,080 --> 00:19:29,920
Speaker 1: The whole country is looking at us, going, come on,

369
00:19:30,080 --> 00:19:32,200
Speaker 1: we want to know where the balance of power lives.

370
00:19:32,640 --> 00:19:36,200
Speaker 1: Did Blake win? Blake is pretty close. If these ballots

371
00:19:36,280 --> 00:19:39,760
Speaker 1: go heavy Republican, he could still win. And we've got

372
00:19:39,880 --> 00:19:42,160
Speaker 1: eyes down there, but we can't have eyes on every

373
00:19:42,200 --> 00:19:45,560
Speaker 1: single person. And so I just I think your listeners

374
00:19:45,640 --> 00:19:48,879
Speaker 1: can pray that God continues to have his hand over us,

375
00:19:49,480 --> 00:19:52,440
Speaker 1: and we are going to continue having our attorneys down

376
00:19:52,480 --> 00:19:54,440
Speaker 1: there every step of the way, and we will work

377
00:19:54,520 --> 00:19:56,920
Speaker 1: hard to make sure that we get through this election

378
00:19:57,280 --> 00:20:00,440
Speaker 1: and then we restore faith and honesty in future elections.

379
00:20:00,560 --> 00:20:04,240
Speaker 1: I promise you we will make that happen. Kerry, I

380
00:20:04,359 --> 00:20:08,040
Speaker 1: believe you're like eight thousand votes behind with thirty percent

381
00:20:08,119 --> 00:20:10,600
Speaker 1: of the vote still outstanding, as you said, potentially six

382
00:20:10,720 --> 00:20:14,480
Speaker 1: hundred and twenty thousand votes outstanding. You mentioned Blake. How

383
00:20:14,560 --> 00:20:17,760
Speaker 1: much do you think you end up winning Arizona by

384
00:20:17,920 --> 00:20:20,960
Speaker 1: when all these vote tallies are out there? And how

385
00:20:21,080 --> 00:20:23,159
Speaker 1: close do you think Blake masters, who I think is

386
00:20:23,200 --> 00:20:26,359
Speaker 1: trailing you by around four points? How close do you

387
00:20:26,440 --> 00:20:28,840
Speaker 1: think he may end up in terms of being able

388
00:20:28,920 --> 00:20:33,920
Speaker 1: to flip a Senate seat for Arizona. You know, you'd

389
00:20:33,960 --> 00:20:36,359
Speaker 1: have to talk to his war room. I think that

390
00:20:36,560 --> 00:20:41,520
Speaker 1: we could win anywhere between two point victory to a

391
00:20:41,640 --> 00:20:44,560
Speaker 1: six point victory depending on how these votes go, and

392
00:20:44,840 --> 00:20:47,399
Speaker 1: maybe even greater than that. So it just depends how

393
00:20:47,480 --> 00:20:50,159
Speaker 1: these votes go. Were these people who dropped off their

394
00:20:50,200 --> 00:20:55,200
Speaker 1: mail in ballot at a voting spot. Were they voters

395
00:20:55,240 --> 00:20:57,960
Speaker 1: who are distrustful of the system and fed up with

396
00:20:58,040 --> 00:21:00,160
Speaker 1: the way the elections are run. I believe in our

397
00:21:00,200 --> 00:21:03,480
Speaker 1: team beliefs they are. We also have seventeen thousand of

398
00:21:03,520 --> 00:21:06,720
Speaker 1: those drawer three. Remember we had more than a third

399
00:21:06,840 --> 00:21:09,720
Speaker 1: of our polling places on election day. We're not ready

400
00:21:09,760 --> 00:21:13,320
Speaker 1: for game day. The machines were not working and people

401
00:21:13,359 --> 00:21:16,080
Speaker 1: were disenfranchised, and so they were told to vote and

402
00:21:16,200 --> 00:21:19,000
Speaker 1: put their ballot in a drawer and they would take

403
00:21:19,040 --> 00:21:22,080
Speaker 1: those ballots and they would count them down at the county.

404
00:21:22,600 --> 00:21:25,440
Speaker 1: They're telling us there's only seventeen thousand of those votes

405
00:21:25,560 --> 00:21:27,840
Speaker 1: and they're going to have to count those. We believe

406
00:21:27,880 --> 00:21:30,240
Speaker 1: those are going to go heavy Republican as well. And

407
00:21:30,400 --> 00:21:33,119
Speaker 1: then there's a couple of other categories of votes to

408
00:21:33,200 --> 00:21:36,600
Speaker 1: be counted. I think that Blake, if those votes go

409
00:21:36,840 --> 00:21:39,680
Speaker 1: heavily our way, maybe up to eighty percent our way,

410
00:21:40,040 --> 00:21:42,560
Speaker 1: I think he'll win handily. But if it goes a

411
00:21:42,600 --> 00:21:44,960
Speaker 1: little bit on the lower end, just over fifty percent,

412
00:21:45,040 --> 00:21:47,600
Speaker 1: it might be a tougher road for him. I'm very

413
00:21:47,680 --> 00:21:51,920
Speaker 1: optimistic though, for Blake. Carrie. You tweeted out Marco Rubio,

414
00:21:52,080 --> 00:21:54,320
Speaker 1: who pointed out, and we've been talking about on this

415
00:21:54,480 --> 00:21:58,000
Speaker 1: program in two thousand, Florida embarrass the nation, right, regardless

416
00:21:58,000 --> 00:22:00,399
Speaker 1: of what you think of the outcome there, they couldn't

417
00:22:00,400 --> 00:22:02,520
Speaker 1: get their vote talies. We end up with all the accounts,

418
00:22:02,600 --> 00:22:04,960
Speaker 1: people holding up the punch cards to see whether or

419
00:22:05,000 --> 00:22:08,280
Speaker 1: not there was ballot intent, all of those things. Why

420
00:22:08,359 --> 00:22:11,439
Speaker 1: in the world after twenty twenty did this not get

421
00:22:11,520 --> 00:22:13,840
Speaker 1: fixed in Arizona? And what does it even say that

422
00:22:14,000 --> 00:22:16,320
Speaker 1: Katie Hobbs, who was your opponent to be the next

423
00:22:16,400 --> 00:22:20,600
Speaker 1: governor of Arizona, didn't recuse herself and is now overseeing

424
00:22:20,680 --> 00:22:23,880
Speaker 1: and investing the election like this? I mean, this makes

425
00:22:23,960 --> 00:22:26,200
Speaker 1: me want to pull my hair out. I can't imagine

426
00:22:26,240 --> 00:22:28,520
Speaker 1: for people who are in Arizona how they are reacting.

427
00:22:30,080 --> 00:22:31,720
Speaker 1: Oh exactly, and this way. We called for her to

428
00:22:31,760 --> 00:22:34,000
Speaker 1: recuse herself back in July of last year when we

429
00:22:34,080 --> 00:22:37,280
Speaker 1: got into the race, talk about unethical and improper, but

430
00:22:37,560 --> 00:22:40,359
Speaker 1: you know she wouldn't do it, and so we're going

431
00:22:40,400 --> 00:22:42,800
Speaker 1: to have troubles with that. Who knows what she's capable

432
00:22:42,840 --> 00:22:44,879
Speaker 1: of doing, but we'll hope for the best on that.

433
00:22:45,359 --> 00:22:48,520
Speaker 1: Why did Nick get fixed after twenty twenty? Why did

434
00:22:48,640 --> 00:22:51,520
Speaker 1: Nick get fixed? Here's why. Because we weren't allowed to

435
00:22:51,560 --> 00:22:53,920
Speaker 1: talk about it. We were censored. Our First Amendment rights

436
00:22:53,960 --> 00:22:57,880
Speaker 1: were taken away. The shameful fake news. It's called anybody

437
00:22:57,920 --> 00:23:01,640
Speaker 1: who questioned what happened in that election and conspiracy theorists.

438
00:23:01,640 --> 00:23:05,320
Speaker 1: They question people who did find acid davids and said,

439
00:23:05,440 --> 00:23:07,600
Speaker 1: this is what I saw happen, this is what happened

440
00:23:07,640 --> 00:23:11,280
Speaker 1: to me. They called them conspiracy theorists. They canceled people

441
00:23:11,359 --> 00:23:14,240
Speaker 1: for speaking out about it. They cut their ability to

442
00:23:14,280 --> 00:23:17,080
Speaker 1: speak out about it by taking away their profiles on

443
00:23:17,200 --> 00:23:20,240
Speaker 1: social media. This is why we're still having this problem.

444
00:23:20,560 --> 00:23:22,879
Speaker 1: And ladies and gentlemen, if we do not fix it

445
00:23:23,160 --> 00:23:26,200
Speaker 1: and fix it quickly, we won't have a country much longer.

446
00:23:26,560 --> 00:23:30,359
Speaker 1: We can't have our elections run this way. We need transparency.

447
00:23:30,880 --> 00:23:35,240
Speaker 1: Honesty and faith in our elections restored asap Kerry For

448
00:23:35,359 --> 00:23:39,639
Speaker 1: those listening, especially those Arizonans who are just hoping and

449
00:23:39,760 --> 00:23:42,040
Speaker 1: praying that you're going to come out on top here,

450
00:23:42,560 --> 00:23:46,040
Speaker 1: what do you say to them, Well, I should come

451
00:23:46,080 --> 00:23:48,240
Speaker 1: out in a landslide victory. I'm just going to tell

452
00:23:48,240 --> 00:23:50,240
Speaker 1: you that I know what I've seen on the ground.

453
00:23:50,359 --> 00:23:52,760
Speaker 1: For five hundred and twenty five days I campaigned across

454
00:23:52,840 --> 00:23:55,800
Speaker 1: the state. We're harder than any other candidate. We do

455
00:23:56,040 --> 00:23:59,520
Speaker 1: crowds like they've never seen before in Arizona politics. We

456
00:23:59,680 --> 00:24:03,760
Speaker 1: have a movement. My opponent hid in her basement, didn't debate,

457
00:24:03,840 --> 00:24:08,040
Speaker 1: The Democrat didn't debate, the Republican couldn't string two words together,

458
00:24:08,160 --> 00:24:12,160
Speaker 1: can barely articulate an idea. And everyone in this state

459
00:24:12,280 --> 00:24:15,320
Speaker 1: knows she lost. And the result will be that we won.

460
00:24:15,480 --> 00:24:17,480
Speaker 1: And if it's anything other than that, I think the

461
00:24:17,560 --> 00:24:20,320
Speaker 1: people of Arizona will know how bad our elections are.

462
00:24:20,720 --> 00:24:22,600
Speaker 1: I believe by what I'm looking at in front of me,

463
00:24:22,960 --> 00:24:25,199
Speaker 1: which is what is left to be counted, these are

464
00:24:25,280 --> 00:24:28,480
Speaker 1: going to go heavily in the Republican's advantage, which means

465
00:24:28,520 --> 00:24:31,359
Speaker 1: we will win. And I assure the people of Arizona.

466
00:24:32,040 --> 00:24:34,320
Speaker 1: We will have a day of reckoning when it comes

467
00:24:34,359 --> 00:24:36,200
Speaker 1: to what's happening on our boarder, when it comes to

468
00:24:36,280 --> 00:24:38,320
Speaker 1: us happening in our elections. We're going to turn this

469
00:24:38,480 --> 00:24:43,560
Speaker 1: around and restore good days in Arizona where every vote,

470
00:24:43,880 --> 00:24:46,879
Speaker 1: every legal vote, counts. It's easy to vote, but impossible

471
00:24:46,920 --> 00:24:50,159
Speaker 1: to cheat. I assure the people of Arizona that y

472
00:24:50,240 --> 00:24:53,880
Speaker 1: thanks for Maricopa County people carry last question, we're saying

473
00:24:53,920 --> 00:24:57,959
Speaker 1: it might take into next week before these votes are tallied.

474
00:24:58,040 --> 00:25:00,200
Speaker 1: Are you being given a time frame of win this

475
00:25:00,359 --> 00:25:04,840
Speaker 1: might be resolved. We're hearing the same thing, and that's frustrating.

476
00:25:05,119 --> 00:25:09,000
Speaker 1: I mean, all hands on deck, get this done. And

477
00:25:09,800 --> 00:25:12,639
Speaker 1: but let's realize that I don't want to put all

478
00:25:12,680 --> 00:25:16,440
Speaker 1: the blame there. It's frustrating, but it's because we didn't

479
00:25:16,440 --> 00:25:19,840
Speaker 1: do anything to change the system, because our lawmakers weren't

480
00:25:19,880 --> 00:25:22,119
Speaker 1: able to get anything done. They didn't have you know,

481
00:25:22,200 --> 00:25:24,800
Speaker 1: there were Republicans who didn't want to do anything. And

482
00:25:25,000 --> 00:25:28,399
Speaker 1: now when we get into office, we will get something

483
00:25:28,520 --> 00:25:31,080
Speaker 1: done and we will call out lawmakers who are not

484
00:25:31,280 --> 00:25:34,840
Speaker 1: willing to make sure we have secure and honest elections.

485
00:25:35,200 --> 00:25:37,359
Speaker 1: We don't have a choice to keep kicking the can

486
00:25:37,480 --> 00:25:40,000
Speaker 1: down the road and having elections run this way. It

487
00:25:40,119 --> 00:25:43,200
Speaker 1: truly isn't fair for the people of Arizona, nor is

488
00:25:43,280 --> 00:25:47,040
Speaker 1: it fair for Americans who find themselves waiting on Arizona

489
00:25:47,119 --> 00:25:51,040
Speaker 1: to see what's going to happen. Carry will hopefully get

490
00:25:51,040 --> 00:25:53,520
Speaker 1: you back on next week to announce your officially the governor.

491
00:25:53,560 --> 00:25:57,560
Speaker 1: But keep up the fight. Thanks guys. You know you

492
00:25:57,680 --> 00:25:59,840
Speaker 1: notice what you said. It didn't get fixed in our

493
00:26:00,359 --> 00:26:02,920
Speaker 1: didn't fix it. Why don't we start off the show

494
00:26:02,920 --> 00:26:05,920
Speaker 1: with today Clay didn't fix it in Pennsylvania, didn't fix

495
00:26:06,000 --> 00:26:09,080
Speaker 1: it in Arizona, didn't fix it in Georgia. You know,

496
00:26:09,280 --> 00:26:11,560
Speaker 1: people want to sit around we talk about we know, Oh,

497
00:26:11,720 --> 00:26:13,800
Speaker 1: but they did this or they did that. Yeah, we

498
00:26:14,000 --> 00:26:18,080
Speaker 1: gotta fix it. Amen. Amen, We're gonna talk with a

499
00:26:18,080 --> 00:26:19,800
Speaker 1: guy who got a big win. Let's have some fun

500
00:26:19,840 --> 00:26:22,600
Speaker 1: to close out the show. Our buddy Ron Johnson wanting

501
00:26:22,640 --> 00:26:25,040
Speaker 1: to come on and thank all of you out there

502
00:26:25,119 --> 00:26:27,400
Speaker 1: who helped get him across the finish line in Wisconsin.

503
00:26:27,520 --> 00:26:31,200
Speaker 1: He's next. But first, unpredictable events happen. You have to

504
00:26:31,280 --> 00:26:34,840
Speaker 1: be prepared whether they are good or bad, and certainly

505
00:26:34,880 --> 00:26:37,080
Speaker 1: we've had a lot of bad unpredictable events of late.

506
00:26:37,160 --> 00:26:39,600
Speaker 1: That's why I may my Patriots Supply is there for

507
00:26:39,800 --> 00:26:42,040

508

Speaker 1: a situation where you need food and you can't get

530
00:27:43,560 --> 00:27:47,080
Speaker 1: We were just in Nashville, Tennessee together for election night,

531
00:27:47,320 --> 00:27:50,960
Speaker 1: and I love Nashville, love Tennessee, a great stake, great people.

532
00:27:51,480 --> 00:27:54,600
Speaker 1: The governor of Tennessee is with us now, Bill Lee.

533
00:27:55,000 --> 00:27:58,680
Speaker 1: Governor Lee, appreciate you calling into Clay and Buck. Hey,

534
00:27:58,840 --> 00:28:01,360
Speaker 1: thank you for having you, Thanks for being in Nashville.

535
00:28:01,680 --> 00:28:05,360
Speaker 1: So yeah, absolutely, it's a great town. So you won

536
00:28:05,880 --> 00:28:11,760
Speaker 1: by a boatload, even more than previous Republican governors have.

537
00:28:12,520 --> 00:28:14,640
Speaker 1: Clay and I are There's a lot that we want

538
00:28:14,640 --> 00:28:18,159
Speaker 1: to get into here about just takeaways from the election nationwide.

539
00:28:18,240 --> 00:28:21,560
Speaker 1: But but first, you know, so many, so many people

540
00:28:21,600 --> 00:28:25,600
Speaker 1: that have moved to Tennessee, Texas, and Florida in the

541
00:28:25,720 --> 00:28:29,000
Speaker 1: last let's say three years. Is that something that you

542
00:28:29,119 --> 00:28:32,080
Speaker 1: are seeing reflected in the data in your state that

543
00:28:32,359 --> 00:28:36,880
Speaker 1: contributed to your Has anyone ever won more Republican votes

544
00:28:36,920 --> 00:28:41,800
Speaker 1: in the state of Tennessee. Yeah, you know, I do

545
00:28:41,960 --> 00:28:45,040
Speaker 1: think people moving here makes a difference. But honestly, I

546
00:28:45,160 --> 00:28:50,200
Speaker 1: think the ideas that we have and that the messages

547
00:28:50,400 --> 00:28:52,880
Speaker 1: that we have and actually the way we've governed in

548
00:28:52,960 --> 00:28:56,640
Speaker 1: the last four years has been something that people appreciate.

549
00:28:56,800 --> 00:29:02,160
Speaker 1: I mean that I always have, you know, in a republic,

550
00:29:02,280 --> 00:29:06,680
Speaker 1: but people decide what happens by choosing leaders that have

551
00:29:06,840 --> 00:29:11,920
Speaker 1: ideas that they like the best, and they choose a leader,

552
00:29:12,240 --> 00:29:17,280
Speaker 1: they watch his ideas, and you know, they elect him.

553
00:29:17,400 --> 00:29:19,880
Speaker 1: Was an even significantly greater margin than I did when

554
00:29:19,920 --> 00:29:22,160
Speaker 1: I first got in. So I think it's the ideas

555
00:29:22,200 --> 00:29:25,400
Speaker 1: that people have. I think you see that in Florida,

556
00:29:25,520 --> 00:29:30,160
Speaker 1: in Texas, in Ohio, in Georgia, and any number of

557
00:29:30,320 --> 00:29:35,280
Speaker 1: these states across the country in this election that overwhelmingly

558
00:29:35,400 --> 00:29:39,560
Speaker 1: reelected their their Republican governors, and it's a very optimistic

559
00:29:39,720 --> 00:29:43,080
Speaker 1: tone among Republican governors. I'll say that. Yeah, I want

560
00:29:43,080 --> 00:29:45,160
Speaker 1: to dive into this. First of all, Governor Lee, I'm

561
00:29:45,160 --> 00:29:47,440
Speaker 1: glad you're my governor here in Tennessee, and thanks for

562
00:29:47,520 --> 00:29:49,280
Speaker 1: all the work that you've done. I hope your wife

563
00:29:49,360 --> 00:29:51,800
Speaker 1: is feeling as well as she can. I know she's

564
00:29:51,840 --> 00:29:56,240
Speaker 1: been quite ill. When you look, you have great relationships

565
00:29:56,280 --> 00:29:58,320
Speaker 1: with Republican governors all over the country, and you just

566
00:29:58,440 --> 00:30:01,000
Speaker 1: hit on it. I mean, Decantis won by twenty in Florida.

567
00:30:01,600 --> 00:30:05,280
Speaker 1: It looks like Beto got beat by around twelve by

568
00:30:05,320 --> 00:30:09,520
Speaker 1: Governor Greg Abbott. In Texas. Kevin Stitt won comfortably in Oklahoma.

569
00:30:09,640 --> 00:30:11,640
Speaker 1: We were just talking about Brian Kemp went in by

570
00:30:11,720 --> 00:30:15,680
Speaker 1: eight or nine over Stacy Abrahams. You won by thirty Ohio.

571
00:30:16,240 --> 00:30:19,320
Speaker 1: DeWine won by a massive margin. A lot of talk

572
00:30:19,400 --> 00:30:22,840
Speaker 1: about what exactly came out the message of this election.

573
00:30:23,360 --> 00:30:28,040
Speaker 1: Why do you think Republican governor's incumbents in particular dominated

574
00:30:28,120 --> 00:30:33,000
Speaker 1: to such an extent on this past Tuesday? You know,

575
00:30:33,480 --> 00:30:37,320
Speaker 1: I think I think people have come to realize in

576
00:30:37,360 --> 00:30:40,720
Speaker 1: the last couple of years, in particular, they watched states

577
00:30:40,800 --> 00:30:46,040
Speaker 1: play out that governors profoundly impact their life. Like what

578
00:30:47,040 --> 00:30:52,760
Speaker 1: happened in states across the country. You know, what happened

579
00:30:52,880 --> 00:30:55,240
Speaker 1: matter a lot. It was dependent a lot on the

580
00:30:55,320 --> 00:30:59,440
Speaker 1: governors themselves. And governors have the ability to actually get

581
00:30:59,520 --> 00:31:02,960
Speaker 1: things done. In Washington, they don't get things done generally,

582
00:31:03,040 --> 00:31:06,320
Speaker 1: I mean, the general consensusives, you know, Washington's ineffective. But

583
00:31:06,720 --> 00:31:10,400
Speaker 1: everybody knows that governors and their general assemblies they get

584
00:31:10,440 --> 00:31:13,280
Speaker 1: things done in their state. People like that when they

585
00:31:13,400 --> 00:31:17,520
Speaker 1: see a governor actually getting things done and those things

586
00:31:17,720 --> 00:31:22,240
Speaker 1: are things that impact their life for good, then they

587
00:31:22,360 --> 00:31:26,400
Speaker 1: overwhelmingly want to keep that that person in office. We're

588
00:31:26,440 --> 00:31:29,760
Speaker 1: speaking to Governor Lee of Tennessee. Governor the data that

589
00:31:29,840 --> 00:31:32,760
Speaker 1: you could see or that your your team has with

590
00:31:32,920 --> 00:31:37,560
Speaker 1: respect to independence, is there anything now that the votes

591
00:31:37,600 --> 00:31:40,240
Speaker 1: have been cast in your state that was either really

592
00:31:40,320 --> 00:31:43,640
Speaker 1: noteworthy or surprising to you, just so we can get

593
00:31:43,680 --> 00:31:46,480
Speaker 1: a sense whether whether we can extrapolate that to some

594
00:31:46,640 --> 00:31:48,440
Speaker 1: of what we see in other places when it comes

595
00:31:48,520 --> 00:31:52,400
Speaker 1: to you know, younger voters coming out one way or

596
00:31:52,400 --> 00:31:56,080
Speaker 1: the other, or voters who were independent swinging one way

597
00:31:56,160 --> 00:31:57,720
Speaker 1: or the other. Is there anything that you saw that

598
00:31:57,800 --> 00:32:01,600
Speaker 1: you thought or your team saw that was really noteworthy. Well,

599
00:32:01,600 --> 00:32:04,280
Speaker 1: I think one of the things that you know for sure,

600
00:32:04,360 --> 00:32:08,080
Speaker 1: if if you win an election, you know about thirty

601
00:32:08,120 --> 00:32:11,040
Speaker 1: five points or thirty two points or whatever the exact

602
00:32:11,120 --> 00:32:17,880
Speaker 1: number was, you have not just been voted. The only

603
00:32:17,920 --> 00:32:20,120
Speaker 1: people who voted for you weren't just your base, right.

604
00:32:20,200 --> 00:32:27,200
Speaker 1: You attracted Democrats, frankly, and independence, and you attracted folks

605
00:32:27,280 --> 00:32:29,880
Speaker 1: from all over the spectrum. You know that happened in Florida.

606
00:32:30,040 --> 00:32:32,440
Speaker 1: You don't win in a purple state by twenty points.

607
00:32:32,640 --> 00:32:37,520
Speaker 1: If you aren't attracting a lot of people that would

608
00:32:37,600 --> 00:32:42,400
Speaker 1: traditionally not be you know, counted as your base, and

609
00:32:44,040 --> 00:32:47,520
Speaker 1: that would be true. You know that's true in Ohio,

610
00:32:47,800 --> 00:32:52,760
Speaker 1: it's in all these states we've mentioned, And I think

611
00:32:53,000 --> 00:32:57,280
Speaker 1: part of it it's just regular people are not as

612
00:32:57,640 --> 00:33:00,560
Speaker 1: enthralled by what's happening in DC politics. But they actually

613
00:33:00,640 --> 00:33:03,720
Speaker 1: are very interested in what's happening in their state. And

614
00:33:03,800 --> 00:33:07,840
Speaker 1: they also know that the governor can sort of execute

615
00:33:07,960 --> 00:33:12,280
Speaker 1: or carry out their wishes, and they don't have the

616
00:33:12,440 --> 00:33:16,960
Speaker 1: sense that that's going to happen in DC. How gratifying

617
00:33:17,120 --> 00:33:21,600
Speaker 1: is a governor? COVID was a challenge for everyone out there,

618
00:33:21,920 --> 00:33:25,080
Speaker 1: but you helped to fight to ensure that Tennessee kids

619
00:33:25,240 --> 00:33:28,440
Speaker 1: were in school. How gratifying is it now as this

620
00:33:28,640 --> 00:33:31,920
Speaker 1: data comes out to see that you guys were right

621
00:33:32,320 --> 00:33:35,920
Speaker 1: and that as a result, hopefully fewer kids suffered. Then

622
00:33:36,000 --> 00:33:38,080
Speaker 1: if you had listened to some of the so called

623
00:33:38,160 --> 00:33:42,880
Speaker 1: experts and insisted that kids not be in person in school, Yeah,

624
00:33:42,880 --> 00:33:46,240
Speaker 1: I think you're the keyword. There's listen and listening to

625
00:33:46,360 --> 00:33:51,960
Speaker 1: experts or listening to parents. Actually, I think you know,

626
00:33:52,120 --> 00:33:55,640
Speaker 1: politicians of all political stripes over this country if they

627
00:33:55,720 --> 00:33:58,920
Speaker 1: if they learned one thing from this last election cycle

628
00:33:59,080 --> 00:34:02,560
Speaker 1: from Virginia and now, it's you know, you pay a

629
00:34:02,600 --> 00:34:04,920
Speaker 1: steep political price if you don't listen to parents. And

630
00:34:06,280 --> 00:34:10,200
Speaker 1: I have a strong belief that parents know best what

631
00:34:10,400 --> 00:34:15,399
Speaker 1: their kid needs, whether it's being in school, whether it's

632
00:34:15,920 --> 00:34:18,760
Speaker 1: what they learn, what they're exposed to in the classroom,

633
00:34:18,840 --> 00:34:21,080
Speaker 1: what they're taught, what kind of school they ought to

634
00:34:21,160 --> 00:34:24,200
Speaker 1: be able to go to. I am a strong believer

635
00:34:24,560 --> 00:34:29,680
Speaker 1: in parental engagement in a big way. And it's very

636
00:34:29,719 --> 00:34:33,120
Speaker 1: gratifying when your gut tells you, you know, you ought

637
00:34:33,120 --> 00:34:35,640
Speaker 1: to be listening to parents, even you talked about COVID,

638
00:34:35,880 --> 00:34:37,759
Speaker 1: When your gut tells you you ought not to leave

639
00:34:37,880 --> 00:34:40,239
Speaker 1: businesses closed, you ought not to have the government shut

640
00:34:40,280 --> 00:34:44,560
Speaker 1: down businesses. You ought not to do this, or you

641
00:34:44,600 --> 00:34:46,360
Speaker 1: ought not to do that, and then you turn around

642
00:34:46,480 --> 00:34:53,000
Speaker 1: and it works. We have the fastest growing economy of

643
00:34:53,200 --> 00:34:56,399
Speaker 1: any state of the fifty states right now, and part

644
00:34:56,440 --> 00:34:59,359
Speaker 1: of that is because we had we kept businesses open,

645
00:34:59,640 --> 00:35:04,520
Speaker 1: and we're having some good outcomes in our testing preliminary

646
00:35:04,600 --> 00:35:07,120
Speaker 1: testing for schools too, and the learning loss and the

647
00:35:07,200 --> 00:35:10,520
Speaker 1: mitigation of that that we've efforts that we've made, so yeah,

648
00:35:10,640 --> 00:35:14,480
Speaker 1: it's very it's very satisfying. Last question for you, the

649
00:35:14,680 --> 00:35:16,920
Speaker 1: number one thing I get asked, and I know I'm

650
00:35:16,960 --> 00:35:18,840
Speaker 1: speaking for a lot of people who already live in

651
00:35:18,960 --> 00:35:21,200
Speaker 1: red states. Now, if you live in Florida, you live

652
00:35:21,239 --> 00:35:24,200
Speaker 1: in Texas, you live in Tennessee, places where people are

653
00:35:24,280 --> 00:35:27,759
Speaker 1: moving to a lot, is are you afraid that the

654
00:35:27,880 --> 00:35:32,600
Speaker 1: new implants, the new residents, the new transplants, are going

655
00:35:32,719 --> 00:35:37,080
Speaker 1: to bring their left wing politics with them and destroy

656
00:35:37,320 --> 00:35:40,239
Speaker 1: what has made these states so desirable in the first place.

657
00:35:40,719 --> 00:35:43,520
Speaker 1: I say that the people that I'm meeting are coming

658
00:35:43,640 --> 00:35:47,160
Speaker 1: here to a large extent because of the politics. Is

659
00:35:47,200 --> 00:35:49,120
Speaker 1: there any data to reflect that that you guys can

660
00:35:49,200 --> 00:35:51,800
Speaker 1: look at based on twenty twenty two anything that you

661
00:35:51,960 --> 00:35:55,760
Speaker 1: are experiencing in your mindset? In other words, is Tennessee

662
00:35:55,880 --> 00:35:59,080
Speaker 1: comfortably read and becoming redder with the new residents or

663
00:35:59,239 --> 00:36:00,879
Speaker 1: you worried a little bit that they're going to bring

664
00:36:01,000 --> 00:36:04,759
Speaker 1: their politics from failed states with them. Yeah, you know,

665
00:36:04,840 --> 00:36:08,800
Speaker 1: we are one of the most moved to states in America,

666
00:36:08,920 --> 00:36:12,319
Speaker 1: and we've had tens of thousands of people moving here,

667
00:36:14,200 --> 00:36:19,640
Speaker 1: and we did just have a profoundly strong election where

668
00:36:20,040 --> 00:36:23,239
Speaker 1: conservative Republicans who are elected through the state House and

669
00:36:23,760 --> 00:36:28,239
Speaker 1: on every we picked up a congressional seat I was in.

670
00:36:28,400 --> 00:36:31,200
Speaker 1: I was campaigning in East Tennessee last week and they

671
00:36:31,239 --> 00:36:33,080
Speaker 1: start I came walking up to me in the sick

672
00:36:33,120 --> 00:36:34,680
Speaker 1: us hand sick in my hand. He said, Hey, I

673
00:36:34,800 --> 00:36:37,120
Speaker 1: just got to tell you. I moved my family here

674
00:36:37,200 --> 00:36:42,920
Speaker 1: from New York and when we came, I felt like

675
00:36:43,000 --> 00:36:47,800
Speaker 1: I moved back to America. And that is the sentiment

676
00:36:48,160 --> 00:36:52,080
Speaker 1: of people around the country who look around and see

677
00:36:53,120 --> 00:36:56,160
Speaker 1: things they don't like in the communities they might be

678
00:36:56,280 --> 00:36:59,600
Speaker 1: living in, and but they but they keep looking because

679
00:36:59,719 --> 00:37:02,279
Speaker 1: they they want to be reminded America hadn't lost the way,

680
00:37:02,400 --> 00:37:04,640
Speaker 1: and they want to find the places that remind them

681
00:37:04,800 --> 00:37:09,320
Speaker 1: that that in fact, that's true, and they come to

682
00:37:09,400 --> 00:37:12,600
Speaker 1: a place like Tennessee and they see it play out.

683
00:37:12,719 --> 00:37:17,759
Speaker 1: So I actually think that people come to a place

684
00:37:17,840 --> 00:37:19,880
Speaker 1: and they see that it is what they want it

685
00:37:19,960 --> 00:37:22,080
Speaker 1: to be and they don't want to change it. That's

686
00:37:22,120 --> 00:37:25,719
Speaker 1: what I think that Center the League story. Yeah, yeah,

687
00:37:25,840 --> 00:37:29,040

692
00:37:41,840 --> 00:37:43,759
Speaker 1: at all choked up because I know exactly what he's

693
00:37:43,760 --> 00:37:46,279
Speaker 1: talking about. I think it speaks to so many people

694
00:37:46,320 --> 00:37:47,960
Speaker 1: out there, so many of you, even if you've stayed

695
00:37:48,000 --> 00:37:50,479
Speaker 1: in places or you've moved over the last couple of years.

696
00:37:50,560 --> 00:37:52,960
Speaker 1: It's been a real challenge for I think a lot

697
00:37:53,000 --> 00:37:55,960
Speaker 1: of people who are saying in an insane world. Yeah,

698
00:37:56,360 --> 00:37:59,520
Speaker 1: communists have taken over New York, they're taken over California,

699
00:38:00,200 --> 00:38:03,920
Speaker 1: and they're taking over Pennsylvania or Pennsylvania listeners, it's going

Speaker 1: in that pivotal contest for the governor's seat in Arizona,

725
00:39:28,440 --> 00:39:30,320
Speaker 1: shall be joining us in the third hour of the program.

726
00:39:30,400 --> 00:39:33,640
Speaker 1: We're also going to be talking too. Well, let's just say,

727
00:39:34,120 --> 00:39:36,880
Speaker 1: if you're in a close race, likely you're going to

728
00:39:36,960 --> 00:39:39,440
Speaker 1: be hearing about them or hearing from them rather in

729
00:39:39,440 --> 00:39:40,800
Speaker 1: the next couple of days on the show as we

730
00:39:40,920 --> 00:39:43,799
Speaker 1: figure out what's happening in some of these very very

731
00:39:43,880 --> 00:39:47,960
Speaker 1: tight elections. Our friend Anna Paulina Luna from Florida, who

732
00:39:48,080 --> 00:39:51,680
Speaker 1: was part of the statewide red tidal wave in Florida.

733
00:39:52,320 --> 00:39:56,800
Speaker 1: She won her congressional race despite millions of dollars in

734
00:39:56,840 --> 00:40:00,600
Speaker 1: a congressional race being spent against her. They really wanted

735
00:40:00,640 --> 00:40:03,440
Speaker 1: to stop her and they failed. So we'll talk to

736
00:40:03,520 --> 00:40:06,520
Speaker 1: her in the third hour program as well. Right now,

737
00:40:06,600 --> 00:40:09,680
Speaker 1: though it is in fact, and Clay, you have to

738
00:40:09,760 --> 00:40:12,600
Speaker 1: hold me to my rule about Georgia. On my mind,

739
00:40:12,600 --> 00:40:15,719
Speaker 1: I'm gonna avoid it. I'm gonna stay, but George is

740
00:40:15,920 --> 00:40:20,160
Speaker 1: very important. Right now, it is a high probability based

741
00:40:20,200 --> 00:40:22,360
Speaker 1: on the latest count I think it is fair to

742
00:40:22,480 --> 00:40:27,360
Speaker 1: say that you're going to see Nevada with a Laxalt

743
00:40:27,520 --> 00:40:32,640
Speaker 1: victory and Masters, well, let's just say in Arizona, if

744
00:40:32,719 --> 00:40:36,440
Speaker 1: Blake Masters wins, I'll be very happy and perhaps a

745
00:40:36,520 --> 00:40:40,960
Speaker 1: tiny bit surprised. So it is likely that we're gonna

746
00:40:41,160 --> 00:40:47,000
Speaker 1: see set it control decided again by this date of Georgia.

747
00:40:47,400 --> 00:40:50,439
Speaker 1: And to my earlier point. I was getting a little

748
00:40:50,440 --> 00:40:52,319
Speaker 1: fired up about it because I do think there's been

749
00:40:52,440 --> 00:40:59,280
Speaker 1: some political malpractice, certainly by the state GOP in Pennsylvania Georgia.

750
00:40:59,400 --> 00:41:04,000
Speaker 1: I think as a better look, I'm just gonna say,

751
00:41:04,080 --> 00:41:08,080
Speaker 1: look what Kemp did. Okay, Georgia's state GOP seems to

752
00:41:08,239 --> 00:41:11,480
Speaker 1: know what's going on. Seems to be a pretty together.

753
00:41:11,640 --> 00:41:13,320
Speaker 1: Now some of you live in that state and you

754
00:41:13,400 --> 00:41:15,239
Speaker 1: feel differently by all means let me know. I mean

755
00:41:15,280 --> 00:41:18,280
Speaker 1: I'm not there day in and day out. But Clay,

756
00:41:19,160 --> 00:41:21,239
Speaker 1: where we got to figure out is what happens now,

757
00:41:22,120 --> 00:41:24,000
Speaker 1: what has to be done in order to make sure

758
00:41:24,040 --> 00:41:27,840
Speaker 1: that herschel Walker defeats Raphael Warnock. To give everyone a

759
00:41:27,920 --> 00:41:31,080
Speaker 1: sense of the last time around this happened. It's going

760
00:41:31,120 --> 00:41:34,480
Speaker 1: to be a runoff that will be decided by the

761
00:41:35,120 --> 00:41:37,920
Speaker 1: December sixth, or rather that's when the runoff is on

762
00:41:38,040 --> 00:41:41,200
Speaker 1: December sixth, and it is almost a certainty that the

763
00:41:41,280 --> 00:41:44,880
Speaker 1: runoff is occurring. I mean, it basically is happening. Clay,

764
00:41:45,080 --> 00:41:47,160
Speaker 1: we like to play this fun game how much money

765
00:41:47,360 --> 00:41:51,880
Speaker 1: was spent on the special election the last time around

766
00:41:52,160 --> 00:41:58,520
Speaker 1: between between Warnock and his Republican opponent Kelly Leffler. How

767
00:41:58,600 --> 00:42:02,160
Speaker 1: much money was spent in that runoff? There were two,

768
00:42:02,360 --> 00:42:04,360
Speaker 1: so I bet it's kind of hard to even figure

769
00:42:04,560 --> 00:42:08,080
Speaker 1: up because I'm sure there was also some generalized Democrat

770
00:42:08,200 --> 00:42:13,000
Speaker 1: and Republican arguments for both sides in that situation. I

771
00:42:13,160 --> 00:42:17,480
Speaker 1: would bet that they spent two hundred million dollars on

772
00:42:17,600 --> 00:42:20,160
Speaker 1: that race. It is a solid It is a solid guess,

773
00:42:20,239 --> 00:42:23,720
Speaker 1: and you're sertling in the ballpark. Three hundred and sixty

774
00:42:23,760 --> 00:42:28,759
Speaker 1: three million dollars is a monumental sum of money. But

775
00:42:28,920 --> 00:42:33,200
Speaker 1: people understand, Look the federal government and the legislative, the

776
00:42:33,280 --> 00:42:37,719
Speaker 1: upper chamber, so to speak of the legislation legislature of

777
00:42:37,800 --> 00:42:41,040
Speaker 1: the most powerful country in the world, still despite what

778
00:42:41,160 --> 00:42:43,520
Speaker 1: the Left is doing to us. So this is going

779
00:42:43,560 --> 00:42:47,480
Speaker 1: to be a knockdown, drag out, super expensive, massive contest.

780
00:42:48,200 --> 00:42:51,440
Speaker 1: And now here's what I think is interesting about a

781
00:42:51,520 --> 00:42:53,839
Speaker 1: lot of things, obviously, but one thing, Clay, I wanted

782
00:42:53,840 --> 00:42:56,279
Speaker 1: to workshop this one with you, just you, me, and

783
00:42:56,440 --> 00:42:58,920
Speaker 1: you know, millions of our closest friends across the country.

784
00:43:00,080 --> 00:43:02,440
Speaker 1: It looks like we're going to be the situation that

785
00:43:02,520 --> 00:43:05,840
Speaker 1: all comes down to Georgia, Donald Trump back herschel Walker.

786
00:43:06,200 --> 00:43:08,359
Speaker 1: And I'm not even sure Herschel would would have run

787
00:43:08,600 --> 00:43:11,480
Speaker 1: were it not for Trump saying publicly, I think Herschel

788
00:43:11,480 --> 00:43:14,560
Speaker 1: should run and then back everything else. We don't know

789
00:43:14,600 --> 00:43:16,560
Speaker 1: about the Trump announcement for next week. There's been some

790
00:43:16,680 --> 00:43:19,880
Speaker 1: speculation we'll figure this stuff out, right. We got to

791
00:43:19,880 --> 00:43:21,360
Speaker 1: see what Trump is going to do and what he

792
00:43:21,440 --> 00:43:24,200
Speaker 1: thinks is best. Trump still has a lot of money,

793
00:43:24,360 --> 00:43:27,000
Speaker 1: a lot of power, a lot of influence in the GOP.

794
00:43:28,280 --> 00:43:33,000
Speaker 1: I think that this runoff is an opportunity for Donald

795
00:43:33,040 --> 00:43:38,600
Speaker 1: Trump to show everybody that it is GOP and therefore

796
00:43:38,760 --> 00:43:42,080
Speaker 1: country first in this situation, and that he can just

797
00:43:42,239 --> 00:43:44,239
Speaker 1: show us that it's going to be all about making

798
00:43:44,280 --> 00:43:47,160
Speaker 1: sure Herschel gets across that finish line. There are people

799
00:43:47,200 --> 00:43:51,080
Speaker 1: who are suggesting that Trump should stay somewhat out of it.

800
00:43:51,160 --> 00:43:53,920
Speaker 1: Obviously give money, but stay out of it publicly and

801
00:43:54,200 --> 00:43:58,320
Speaker 1: really allow the Kemp Georgia State apparatus to do a

802
00:43:58,400 --> 00:44:01,960
Speaker 1: lot of the heavy lifting for the GOP. What do

803
00:44:02,080 --> 00:44:05,040
Speaker 1: you think I think Trump should one hundred percent not

804
00:44:05,120 --> 00:44:08,799
Speaker 1: announced next week, and I think he should say I'm

805
00:44:08,960 --> 00:44:13,160
Speaker 1: staying out of any political moves until all of the

806
00:44:13,280 --> 00:44:17,239
Speaker 1: midterm races are complete. That includes Herschel Walker, who I

807
00:44:17,320 --> 00:44:20,120
Speaker 1: believe is a great candidate and should represent Georgia. I

808
00:44:20,239 --> 00:44:25,000
Speaker 1: think Trump should donate millions of dollars help raise those funds, because,

809
00:44:25,040 --> 00:44:26,799
Speaker 1: as you just said, the amount of money that it's

810
00:44:26,840 --> 00:44:30,200
Speaker 1: going to cost, especially if Senate control is at issue

811
00:44:30,719 --> 00:44:34,440
Speaker 1: like it was in twenty twenty, is going to be seismic.

812
00:44:35,080 --> 00:44:38,640
Speaker 1: Here's the other thing. I think Brian Kemp did not

813
00:44:39,080 --> 00:44:43,560
Speaker 1: throw his weight behind Herschel Walker. He didn't. Now you

814
00:44:43,680 --> 00:44:47,040
Speaker 1: can argue that's because he didn't want to turn the

815
00:44:47,520 --> 00:44:51,160
Speaker 1: governor's race in Georgia into any kind of referendum on

816
00:44:51,400 --> 00:44:54,759
Speaker 1: the Senate. Everything else. I don't think Brian Kemp and

817
00:44:54,880 --> 00:44:58,240
Speaker 1: Herschel Walker have some awful relationship and don't get along.

818
00:44:58,440 --> 00:45:01,080
Speaker 1: I don't think it's of a personal nature. Now that

819
00:45:01,200 --> 00:45:04,839
Speaker 1: he has won by eight points, I think Brian Kemp

820
00:45:05,520 --> 00:45:09,719
Speaker 1: owes it to the Republican Party to go all in

821
00:45:10,200 --> 00:45:14,160
Speaker 1: on Herschel and Herschel beating the Reverend Raphael Warnock. Now

822
00:45:14,280 --> 00:45:16,800
Speaker 1: I understand he wants to focus on Stacy Abrams. He

823
00:45:16,880 --> 00:45:19,680
Speaker 1: wanted to win his race. He's done it. Now he

824
00:45:19,800 --> 00:45:21,400
Speaker 1: did it. There was a lot of ticket splitters, more

825
00:45:21,480 --> 00:45:24,040
Speaker 1: than I thought they were going to be. Now he

826
00:45:24,160 --> 00:45:27,160
Speaker 1: needs to come out and say I need every single

827
00:45:27,239 --> 00:45:29,480
Speaker 1: person who voted for me and the Georgia governors are

828
00:45:29,520 --> 00:45:31,200
Speaker 1: raced to come out and vote for Herschel in the

829
00:45:31,320 --> 00:45:35,040
Speaker 1: twenty twenty two runoff here, and I don't know if

830
00:45:35,040 --> 00:45:37,560
Speaker 1: he's willing to do that. I think there needs to

831
00:45:37,600 --> 00:45:40,960
Speaker 1: be some pressure put on Brian Kemp to really get

832
00:45:41,040 --> 00:45:45,480
Speaker 1: behind Herschel Walker and support him again. Now that Kemp

833
00:45:45,600 --> 00:45:48,480
Speaker 1: has already won his reelection comfortably, he's a governor for

834
00:45:48,520 --> 00:45:52,640
Speaker 1: the next four years, doesn't he want a Republican to

835
00:45:52,760 --> 00:45:55,719
Speaker 1: represent the state of Georgia. I'm just gonna put this

836
00:45:55,800 --> 00:45:58,280
Speaker 1: out there. We should have him. First of all, congrats

837
00:45:58,320 --> 00:46:02,839
Speaker 1: to him on winning a side at victory, and unfortunately

838
00:46:02,920 --> 00:46:07,000
Speaker 1: he did help reelect Stacy Abrams as the fake governor

839
00:46:07,120 --> 00:46:11,480
Speaker 1: of Georgia for another fake term. But that said, we

840
00:46:11,520 --> 00:46:13,160
Speaker 1: should have Kemp on the show. We should talk to

841
00:46:13,239 --> 00:46:17,240
Speaker 1: him about this because this is going to happen really fast.

842
00:46:17,680 --> 00:46:20,480
Speaker 1: There's gonna be a ton of money and assuming that

843
00:46:20,640 --> 00:46:23,279
Speaker 1: the Democrats don't pull off two Senate seats here out

844
00:46:23,320 --> 00:46:26,120
Speaker 1: in the West, which is possible but you know, hopefully

845
00:46:26,200 --> 00:46:28,239
Speaker 1: not going to happen, it is all going to come

846
00:46:28,280 --> 00:46:32,560
Speaker 1: down to this Senate contest, and here is a chance

847
00:46:32,680 --> 00:46:36,000
Speaker 1: for Georgia and in some way for Trump and his

848
00:46:36,160 --> 00:46:39,839
Speaker 1: relationship with forget about Kemp, with Georgia as a state

849
00:46:39,960 --> 00:46:43,600
Speaker 1: right now, to mend things and get on the right

850
00:46:43,640 --> 00:46:46,600
Speaker 1: side of things by delivering a w here. I think

851
00:46:46,640 --> 00:46:48,560
Speaker 1: that would be the best. And I obviously Trump is

852
00:46:48,640 --> 00:46:50,680
Speaker 1: very personally fond of Herschels, so I know he wants

853
00:46:50,719 --> 00:46:52,480
Speaker 1: to help him in every way. This is just a

854
00:46:52,600 --> 00:46:55,560
Speaker 1: question of what's the best way to do it. Because Clay,

855
00:46:55,680 --> 00:46:58,480
Speaker 1: just to put it in perspective again, the money spend

856
00:46:58,600 --> 00:47:00,719
Speaker 1: up to this point. I'm not gonna make a guess

857
00:47:00,719 --> 00:47:03,120
Speaker 1: on this one because this is too specific, but Warnox

858
00:47:03,239 --> 00:47:06,920
Speaker 1: campaign has spent one hundred and thirty five million dollars.

859
00:47:07,680 --> 00:47:12,040
Speaker 1: Walker's campaign thirty two million dollars. This is going to

860
00:47:12,120 --> 00:47:16,359
Speaker 1: be super tight, razor thin. Every vote counts, and they

861
00:47:16,400 --> 00:47:20,479
Speaker 1: are going to flood the airwaves with all the cash

862
00:47:20,520 --> 00:47:22,520
Speaker 1: that's going to pour in from New York, California and

863
00:47:22,560 --> 00:47:25,480
Speaker 1: every other blue stronghold. Let me also point this Outbuck,

864
00:47:25,640 --> 00:47:28,600
Speaker 1: how much does the narrative of the mid term election

865
00:47:28,800 --> 00:47:32,160
Speaker 1: change not only for Republicans but for Donald Trump personally

866
00:47:32,840 --> 00:47:37,440
Speaker 1: If Laxalt or Blake Masters is up winning their races

867
00:47:37,480 --> 00:47:42,680
Speaker 1: in Nevada or Arizona, maybe both, and Herschel does. That's

868
00:47:42,680 --> 00:47:45,760
Speaker 1: a big difference, right the sting of the Oz loss

869
00:47:45,840 --> 00:47:49,960
Speaker 1: to Fetterman. If Republicans still end up winning the Senate,

870
00:47:50,040 --> 00:47:52,840
Speaker 1: and if they do it partly on the back of

871
00:47:53,040 --> 00:47:57,080
Speaker 1: Donald Trump supported Senate candidates, even if Trump is not

872
00:47:57,600 --> 00:48:02,880
Speaker 1: being a selfless I care about party more than self person,

873
00:48:03,960 --> 00:48:08,040
Speaker 1: even if he just cares about his own standing in

874
00:48:08,080 --> 00:48:12,040
Speaker 1: the Republican Party. Right now, a Republican House and a

875
00:48:12,160 --> 00:48:16,520
Speaker 1: Republican Senate flipping, it's hard to argue that that's not

876
00:48:16,640 --> 00:48:19,600
Speaker 1: a red wave, right, maybe a low red wave, But

877
00:48:19,719 --> 00:48:22,520
Speaker 1: when you flip two Houses of Congress in an election,

878
00:48:23,080 --> 00:48:25,399
Speaker 1: I don't have it in front of me historically right now, Buck,

879
00:48:25,520 --> 00:48:28,440
Speaker 1: But that doesn't happen very often, right where you're able

880
00:48:28,520 --> 00:48:30,880
Speaker 1: to flip both the House and the Senate in the

881
00:48:30,960 --> 00:48:34,000
Speaker 1: same election. Now, these were uniquely tight races. It's not

882
00:48:34,120 --> 00:48:37,160
Speaker 1: like that there was much division after twenty Yeah, I mean,

883
00:48:37,200 --> 00:48:41,319
Speaker 1: those are the two biggest wins that you can get, right.

884
00:48:41,400 --> 00:48:43,719
Speaker 1: I mean, if this is the Olympics or something in gymnastics,

885
00:48:43,800 --> 00:48:45,600
Speaker 1: it's like the all around metal right, that the team

886
00:48:45,640 --> 00:48:47,719
Speaker 1: can get. I mean, if you get the House and

887
00:48:47,800 --> 00:48:50,480
Speaker 1: the Senate under GOP control, those are the two biggest

888
00:48:50,600 --> 00:48:53,280
Speaker 1: ws that we need looking good on the House side.

889
00:48:53,600 --> 00:48:56,360
Speaker 1: And so then really you're just talking about a painful

890
00:48:56,400 --> 00:48:59,480
Speaker 1: Pennsylvania loss, which is in the books now. Unfortunately, and

891
00:48:59,520 --> 00:49:01,759
Speaker 1: I talked, and that's more than anyone who says, oh,

892
00:49:01,840 --> 00:49:03,640
Speaker 1: that's just Oz or that's just Trump, or that's just

893
00:49:04,040 --> 00:49:07,320
Speaker 1: does not know the terrain of the of the political

894
00:49:07,360 --> 00:49:11,480
Speaker 1: battlefield in Pennsylvania and what really twenty twenty the Democrats,

895
00:49:12,000 --> 00:49:13,480
Speaker 1: you know, we were asleep at the wheel. I don't

896
00:49:13,480 --> 00:49:14,960
Speaker 1: know what to say. They did a lot of things,

897
00:49:15,960 --> 00:49:19,359
Speaker 1: but beyond that, you're looking at governor's races, which really

898
00:49:19,400 --> 00:49:22,600
Speaker 1: only affected people in those states, which you know stinks

899
00:49:22,640 --> 00:49:25,400
Speaker 1: for those people, but it's not you know, the Michigan

900
00:49:25,480 --> 00:49:29,840
Speaker 1: governor's race doesn't really have nationwide implications. So we can

901
00:49:29,920 --> 00:49:31,279
Speaker 1: live with that, is what I'm saying, right. I mean,

902
00:49:31,280 --> 00:49:32,880
Speaker 1: it would have been nice to pull off some governor's

903
00:49:32,960 --> 00:49:34,799
Speaker 1: race upsets, would have been great to have these eld

904
00:49:34,840 --> 00:49:36,360
Speaker 1: to win in New York. But if you flip the

905
00:49:36,400 --> 00:49:39,120
Speaker 1: House in the Senate, it's certainly forget about red wave

906
00:49:39,200 --> 00:49:42,600
Speaker 1: and all the metaphors. Clay, it's a successful election if

907
00:49:42,680 --> 00:49:45,600
Speaker 1: that happens. Let me also toss this out. We're going

908
00:49:45,640 --> 00:49:48,440
Speaker 1: to talk with carry Lake at two thirty, so a

909
00:49:48,520 --> 00:49:52,160
Speaker 1: little over an hour from now. She has just shared

910
00:49:52,280 --> 00:49:55,160
Speaker 1: some data it's called a tease buck that I think

911
00:49:55,400 --> 00:49:57,560
Speaker 1: is going to be really interesting about what might happen

912
00:49:57,600 --> 00:49:59,719
Speaker 1: in Arizona. The reason why I want to mention Carry

913
00:49:59,800 --> 00:50:04,920
Speaker 1: Lake here is Blake Masters. Blake Masters in the national

914
00:50:05,040 --> 00:50:08,720
Speaker 1: media has been left for dead right, nobody's even hardly talking.

915
00:50:08,760 --> 00:50:11,560
Speaker 1: We are because we're like actually looking at the data

916
00:50:11,640 --> 00:50:14,759
Speaker 1: and cognizant of what might happen. There are a lot

917
00:50:14,800 --> 00:50:18,520
Speaker 1: of people out there in the Blake Masters campaign. Carry

918
00:50:18,600 --> 00:50:21,040
Speaker 1: Lake I think it's going to be the next governor

919
00:50:21,080 --> 00:50:23,440
Speaker 1: of Arizona. I mean she's only down like eight thousand

920
00:50:23,560 --> 00:50:27,040
Speaker 1: votes now or whatever it is. Blake Masters was trailing

921
00:50:27,239 --> 00:50:30,919
Speaker 1: carry Lake by around four points. Carry Lake is saying

922
00:50:31,000 --> 00:50:33,680
Speaker 1: she's going to win Arizona comfortably when all these votes

923
00:50:33,719 --> 00:50:35,920
Speaker 1: are counted. She seems very confident. We're going to talk

924
00:50:35,960 --> 00:50:39,719
Speaker 1: with her here soon. But man, think about how much

925
00:50:39,840 --> 00:50:44,920
Speaker 1: different this narrative changes if either Laxalt or Blake Masters

926
00:50:45,640 --> 00:50:47,200
Speaker 1: or both of them. And let me just say this,

927
00:50:47,360 --> 00:50:49,680
Speaker 1: we reached out to get Adam Laxalt on to see

928
00:50:49,719 --> 00:50:52,359
Speaker 1: if you wanted to come on. Candidates respond differently when

929
00:50:52,360 --> 00:50:54,320
Speaker 1: they're in the war room watching these numbers come in.

930
00:50:54,760 --> 00:50:57,800
Speaker 1: Laxalt is not doing any interviews right now with anyone.

931
00:50:57,920 --> 00:51:00,640
Speaker 1: We got an open invite out to him if he

932
00:51:00,760 --> 00:51:02,680
Speaker 1: decides that he wants to come on. We reached out

933
00:51:02,719 --> 00:51:05,000
Speaker 1: to Carry Lake. Probably should reach out to Blake Masters

934
00:51:05,120 --> 00:51:06,680
Speaker 1: as well to see if he wants to come on

935
00:51:06,760 --> 00:51:10,120
Speaker 1: and tell us how he sees these numbers breaking potentially

936
00:51:10,360 --> 00:51:12,359
Speaker 1: in his favor if they believe they're going to win

937
00:51:12,440 --> 00:51:17,200
Speaker 1: this race. But my point on this is the narrative

938
00:51:17,280 --> 00:51:22,040
Speaker 1: can change pretty quick. We knew Nevada, Arizona, and Georgia

939
00:51:22,160 --> 00:51:24,920
Speaker 1: we're going to be super tight and super difficult races

940
00:51:25,040 --> 00:51:28,800
Speaker 1: to flip all three of them. Right now, still in

941
00:51:28,920 --> 00:51:32,720
Speaker 1: that winnable prism. So far, the only race that's flipped

942
00:51:32,800 --> 00:51:35,759
Speaker 1: in the Senate is that imbecile John Fetterman who got in.

943
00:51:36,520 --> 00:51:38,960
Speaker 1: But things could change still a lot. We just talked

944
00:51:38,960 --> 00:51:41,359
Speaker 1: about it. Lauren Bobert just took the lead. Look at

945
00:51:41,400 --> 00:51:43,040
Speaker 1: how she was given up for dead. Now maybe she

946
00:51:43,160 --> 00:51:44,920
Speaker 1: won't end up winning, but she's got a round a

947
00:51:44,960 --> 00:51:47,719
Speaker 1: four hundred vote lead now, and almost all those votes

948
00:51:47,760 --> 00:51:50,960
Speaker 1: are in. It's going to be in the tiny, tiny

949
00:51:51,040 --> 00:51:53,480
Speaker 1: little margin. That's where I think we're gonna end up

950
00:51:53,480 --> 00:51:55,520
Speaker 1: in Nevada with the Senate. That's where I think we're

951
00:51:55,520 --> 00:51:58,400
Speaker 1: gonna end up in Arizona and with herschel and so

952
00:51:58,600 --> 00:52:01,800
Speaker 1: this thing can still change quite a lot buck So

953
00:52:01,880 --> 00:52:03,480
Speaker 1: we'll come back in on that in a second. Also

954
00:52:03,520 --> 00:52:06,240
Speaker 1: want to note that in Montana there was a ballot measure,

955
00:52:06,880 --> 00:52:08,760
Speaker 1: and I'm going to read you from the ballot measure.

956
00:52:09,040 --> 00:52:12,040
Speaker 1: It says, this is Montana LR one thirty one, the

957
00:52:12,200 --> 00:52:17,120
Speaker 1: Medical Care Requirements for Born Alive Infants Measure. A yes

958
00:52:17,320 --> 00:52:20,439
Speaker 1: vote supported this ballot measure to state that infants born

959
00:52:20,480 --> 00:52:23,880
Speaker 1: alive at any stage of development are legal persons. That

960
00:52:24,040 --> 00:52:25,759
Speaker 1: means that a baby that is outside the womb is

961
00:52:25,800 --> 00:52:28,160
Speaker 1: considered a baby, even if it is the product of

962
00:52:28,200 --> 00:52:33,359
Speaker 1: a botched abortion. That measure just failed in Montana. That's right,

963
00:52:33,400 --> 00:52:36,919
Speaker 1: That measure failed in Montana. So an effort to give

964
00:52:37,640 --> 00:52:41,319
Speaker 1: legal protection to a baby outside the womb during an

965
00:52:41,320 --> 00:52:46,719
Speaker 1: abortion procedure failed in an American state. Just happened the

966
00:52:46,880 --> 00:52:50,520
Speaker 1: fight to preserve life, my friends, is underway right now.

967
00:52:50,760 --> 00:52:52,959
Speaker 1: And you understand that while we're trying to do everything

968
00:52:53,000 --> 00:52:55,680
Speaker 1: we can legislatively, trying to raise money, trying to raise

969
00:52:55,719 --> 00:52:59,759
Speaker 1: awareness so that the laws will protect life, we are

970
00:52:59,800 --> 00:53:02,320
Speaker 1: going to have losses like we just did in Montana,

971
00:53:02,360 --> 00:53:04,640
Speaker 1: and they're going to be challenges ahead. What can you

972
00:53:04,719 --> 00:53:07,680
Speaker 1: do in the meantime? What can you do not just legislators,

973
00:53:07,760 --> 00:53:10,840
Speaker 1: not people with big platforms on TV. You can donate to,

974
00:53:10,960 --> 00:53:14,799
Speaker 1: my friends at preborn Unborn babies have just one way

975
00:53:14,840 --> 00:53:17,040
Speaker 1: of communicating with their mother, and that's with a heartbeat.

976
00:53:17,360 --> 00:53:19,880
Speaker 1: So just imagine that sound in your mind, that delicate,

977
00:53:19,960 --> 00:53:23,840
Speaker 1: that amazing godly sound, the medical miracle of an ultrasound

978
00:53:23,880 --> 00:53:26,400
Speaker 1: machine bringing it to life. It brings a smile and

979
00:53:26,520 --> 00:53:29,120
Speaker 1: instant love for that child from the mother. That connection,

980
00:53:29,200 --> 00:53:31,520
Speaker 1: that heartbeat is the focus point of the caring and

981
00:53:31,640 --> 00:53:34,759
Speaker 1: thoughtful work done at preborn pregnancy clinics. This is what

982
00:53:34,800 --> 00:53:38,120
Speaker 1: they do. They provide free ultrasounds and care through the

983
00:53:38,200 --> 00:53:40,879
Speaker 1: first two years of the baby's life. By the way,

984
00:53:41,520 --> 00:53:44,279
Speaker 1: to mothers who are going through a difficult pregnancy and

985
