1 00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:03,320 Speaker 1: Welcome to today's edition of The Clay, Travis and Buck 2 00:00:03,360 --> 00:00:07,720 Speaker 1: Sexton Show podcast. Our two Clay and Buck starts right now. Everybody, 3 00:00:07,720 --> 00:00:12,280 Speaker 1: Thanks for rolling with us. Appreciate you hanging as always, 4 00:00:12,360 --> 00:00:14,880 Speaker 1: so many big guests coming up throughout the show, and 5 00:00:14,960 --> 00:00:16,599 Speaker 1: you know, we usually don't have a lot of guests, 6 00:00:16,680 --> 00:00:20,120 Speaker 1: but in the election season, we just think that we're 7 00:00:20,120 --> 00:00:22,800 Speaker 1: a show that's on in all fifty states. We've got 8 00:00:22,800 --> 00:00:26,960 Speaker 1: people listening digitally, streaming or downloading podcasts in countries around 9 00:00:26,960 --> 00:00:29,400 Speaker 1: the world. But since we're on in all fifty states 10 00:00:29,480 --> 00:00:33,120 Speaker 1: and the size of these audiences in those places thanks 11 00:00:33,120 --> 00:00:36,519 Speaker 1: to the house that Rush built, we feel like we 12 00:00:36,560 --> 00:00:38,760 Speaker 1: want to bring you as many voices in these tight 13 00:00:38,880 --> 00:00:42,279 Speaker 1: races as we can and to help mobilize for them. 14 00:00:42,280 --> 00:00:45,360 Speaker 1: So we're going to continue on with that mission coming 15 00:00:45,440 --> 00:00:48,320 Speaker 1: up here. Later on in the program, have a bunch 16 00:00:49,000 --> 00:00:52,760 Speaker 1: more big guests who will be with us, and that 17 00:00:52,840 --> 00:00:57,120 Speaker 1: includes a for example, Eli Crane running for Congress, Ron 18 00:00:57,200 --> 00:01:01,920 Speaker 1: Johnson running for the Senate. And we've got Selena Zito, 19 00:01:02,160 --> 00:01:06,279 Speaker 1: who does great work on these elections and what's happening 20 00:01:06,280 --> 00:01:07,640 Speaker 1: on the ground. She'll be joining us here in just 21 00:01:07,640 --> 00:01:11,360 Speaker 1: about thirty minutes. So one thing that's happening today you 22 00:01:11,440 --> 00:01:16,319 Speaker 1: may see this, is that Elon is taking taking not 23 00:01:16,400 --> 00:01:19,720 Speaker 1: a scalpel, more like a sledgehammer to the Twitter workforce. 24 00:01:20,000 --> 00:01:26,240 Speaker 1: You have half of Twitter employees finding out today that 25 00:01:27,160 --> 00:01:29,199 Speaker 1: they're no longer going to be employed there. He says 26 00:01:29,200 --> 00:01:31,480 Speaker 1: he's going to pay them out through February, which seems 27 00:01:31,480 --> 00:01:35,920 Speaker 1: like a pretty nice baseline severance, but he is taking 28 00:01:36,000 --> 00:01:40,959 Speaker 1: major steps here. Advertisers are already fleeing from Twitter, which 29 00:01:41,000 --> 00:01:43,319 Speaker 1: is amazing because he has said he's going to keep 30 00:01:43,319 --> 00:01:46,119 Speaker 1: content moderation in place. This goes to show you how 31 00:01:46,240 --> 00:01:49,840 Speaker 1: woke many of these corporations really are. That unless there 32 00:01:49,840 --> 00:01:52,480 Speaker 1: can be dominance, left wing dominance, unless you can be 33 00:01:52,800 --> 00:01:57,320 Speaker 1: booted off the platform for saying that men cannot get pregnant, 34 00:01:57,840 --> 00:02:01,520 Speaker 1: which is still true, men cannot get pregnant. Unless that 35 00:02:01,600 --> 00:02:03,680 Speaker 1: is the case, they don't want to advertise. I bring 36 00:02:03,720 --> 00:02:06,040 Speaker 1: this up, Clay for a couple of reasons. One is 37 00:02:07,000 --> 00:02:12,839 Speaker 1: you're already hearing the left complain about the possibility that 38 00:02:13,080 --> 00:02:16,560 Speaker 1: Elon's takeover means there might be misinformation on Twitter as 39 00:02:16,639 --> 00:02:19,800 Speaker 1: of the election on. So they're creating a little emotional 40 00:02:19,840 --> 00:02:22,600 Speaker 1: safe space where if they lose big time in the election. 41 00:02:22,919 --> 00:02:26,760 Speaker 1: Maybe it will be because of the misinformation on Twitter. 42 00:02:27,280 --> 00:02:30,320 Speaker 1: And then there's this story which people have pointed to 43 00:02:30,440 --> 00:02:35,000 Speaker 1: as the disinformation or misinformation. So just so we're clear, 44 00:02:35,000 --> 00:02:40,200 Speaker 1: disinformation is intentionally dishonest information that's out there. Misinformation is 45 00:02:40,360 --> 00:02:45,160 Speaker 1: incorrect but not necessarily nefariously incorrect information. And then there's 46 00:02:45,360 --> 00:02:47,000 Speaker 1: what's there's a third one that they like to use. 47 00:02:47,040 --> 00:02:50,359 Speaker 1: I forget anyway, there's neither human nor there. This is 48 00:02:50,400 --> 00:02:52,880 Speaker 1: from a daily mail. All right, and Clay, I want 49 00:02:52,880 --> 00:02:55,400 Speaker 1: you to tell me what your take away because if 50 00:02:55,400 --> 00:02:58,280 Speaker 1: you had any questions about any of the details you 51 00:02:58,320 --> 00:03:01,840 Speaker 1: were told, you're a horrible person. Mystery of Paul Pelosi 52 00:03:01,960 --> 00:03:06,960 Speaker 1: hammer attack deepens as new police account reveals how speaker 53 00:03:06,960 --> 00:03:11,880 Speaker 1: Pelosi's husband calmly opened the door to cops after phoning 54 00:03:11,960 --> 00:03:16,560 Speaker 1: nine one, did not reveal he was in trouble, and 55 00:03:16,600 --> 00:03:25,519 Speaker 1: then walked back towards the intruder, who then viciously bludgeoned him. Clay, 56 00:03:26,480 --> 00:03:29,040 Speaker 1: these are now confirmed details from police. This is in 57 00:03:29,120 --> 00:03:33,680 Speaker 1: one of the largest news gathering websites in the world. 58 00:03:34,760 --> 00:03:40,080 Speaker 1: What's going on? Great question, So let's just talk about 59 00:03:40,120 --> 00:03:44,600 Speaker 1: it in this context as we're working through. Take it 60 00:03:44,640 --> 00:03:47,200 Speaker 1: outside of Paul Pelosi. Take it outside of this San 61 00:03:47,240 --> 00:03:52,640 Speaker 1: Francisco incident. If someone broke into your home, you were 62 00:03:52,720 --> 00:03:57,120 Speaker 1: able to call nine one one. First of all, most people, 63 00:03:57,160 --> 00:04:00,000 Speaker 1: I think, Buck, if they were unarmed, if someone broke 64 00:04:00,120 --> 00:04:03,840 Speaker 1: into their home, would run outside. Okay, That I think 65 00:04:03,920 --> 00:04:06,200 Speaker 1: is what most people would do. If I were in 66 00:04:06,280 --> 00:04:09,680 Speaker 1: my house right now by myself, and I was unarmed, 67 00:04:09,720 --> 00:04:12,320 Speaker 1: and someone broke into my house and I saw a 68 00:04:12,320 --> 00:04:14,880 Speaker 1: stranger in my house, I would run outside. I wouldn't 69 00:04:14,920 --> 00:04:19,080 Speaker 1: stay inside with them. Number one. Number two, if the 70 00:04:19,120 --> 00:04:23,159 Speaker 1: police arrived after I had called nine one one, and 71 00:04:23,320 --> 00:04:27,800 Speaker 1: I walked and opened the door for them, I would 72 00:04:27,880 --> 00:04:31,279 Speaker 1: probably let them go in in front of me and 73 00:04:31,480 --> 00:04:34,599 Speaker 1: go behind them and say, there's an intruder in my house, 74 00:04:34,839 --> 00:04:38,320 Speaker 1: can you go take care of him. Paul Pelosi didn't 75 00:04:38,320 --> 00:04:44,640 Speaker 1: do either of those things. Skepticism is not misinformation or disinformation. 76 00:04:44,920 --> 00:04:48,880 Speaker 1: It's the natural human condition that should exist. I think 77 00:04:49,000 --> 00:04:52,839 Speaker 1: when we're confronted with any story where the details don't 78 00:04:52,880 --> 00:04:57,680 Speaker 1: seem to add up, and so in this scenario, Buck, 79 00:04:57,760 --> 00:05:01,920 Speaker 1: it's hard for me to come to any conclusion other 80 00:05:02,040 --> 00:05:07,960 Speaker 1: than Paul Pelosi knew in some way this intruder, because 81 00:05:07,960 --> 00:05:11,120 Speaker 1: otherwise none of his actions make sense. Now, maybe he 82 00:05:11,160 --> 00:05:14,400 Speaker 1: was super drunk, Maybe he was maybe he took an 83 00:05:14,440 --> 00:05:17,400 Speaker 1: ambient and he was like not in full capacity and control. 84 00:05:17,400 --> 00:05:19,400 Speaker 1: I mean, there's always the possibility that he was not 85 00:05:19,839 --> 00:05:22,600 Speaker 1: in a good mental statement, because we should say, according 86 00:05:22,600 --> 00:05:26,160 Speaker 1: to this report, he was not attacked until after the 87 00:05:26,200 --> 00:05:30,320 Speaker 1: police arrived, after he opened the door for them, after 88 00:05:30,400 --> 00:05:34,479 Speaker 1: he walked back to where this other individual was. None 89 00:05:34,480 --> 00:05:37,480 Speaker 1: of this adds up. And so I would like to 90 00:05:37,520 --> 00:05:43,320 Speaker 1: see personally whether these officers had cameras on them. What 91 00:05:43,480 --> 00:05:47,839 Speaker 1: is their body camera footage show, what kind of conversations 92 00:05:47,920 --> 00:05:51,360 Speaker 1: were had. How did this process by which Paul Pelosi 93 00:05:51,480 --> 00:05:55,520 Speaker 1: ended up being attacked actually ensue. I don't think those 94 00:05:55,560 --> 00:05:59,480 Speaker 1: are unacceptable questions to ask. I don't think that given 95 00:05:59,600 --> 00:06:04,080 Speaker 1: that Biden has given a presidential address arguing that this 96 00:06:04,480 --> 00:06:10,120 Speaker 1: individual who attacked Pelosi was motivated by his MAGA obsession. Yeah, 97 00:06:10,120 --> 00:06:12,719 Speaker 1: the Democrats are all very valid questions. They made these 98 00:06:12,960 --> 00:06:15,320 Speaker 1: They made a political right away. They made this a 99 00:06:15,360 --> 00:06:17,680 Speaker 1: political issue, so they don't get to open that door 100 00:06:17,720 --> 00:06:20,200 Speaker 1: and then pretend that somebody else opened that door. They 101 00:06:20,240 --> 00:06:22,880 Speaker 1: made this political right away. But I would note that 102 00:06:22,920 --> 00:06:25,800 Speaker 1: what you're even saying skepticism, I would even just say 103 00:06:26,400 --> 00:06:29,520 Speaker 1: curiosity or inquiry. I mean, what are the details they're 104 00:06:29,560 --> 00:06:32,280 Speaker 1: telling us. This is a serious event. The guy's being 105 00:06:32,279 --> 00:06:35,200 Speaker 1: held now do do paper or do pope or whatever 106 00:06:35,240 --> 00:06:37,679 Speaker 1: you say you pronounce his name. Yeah, is being held 107 00:06:38,360 --> 00:06:41,440 Speaker 1: on attempted murder charges against the husband of the Speaker 108 00:06:41,440 --> 00:06:43,000 Speaker 1: of the House. They're in line for the presidency. It's 109 00:06:43,000 --> 00:06:46,240 Speaker 1: obviously a big deal. It's also regardless of whether he knew, 110 00:06:46,279 --> 00:06:48,080 Speaker 1: the guy didn't know. I mean, it's horrible. He's a 111 00:06:48,080 --> 00:06:50,120 Speaker 1: senior citizen. He's being plunging with a hammer. It's an 112 00:06:50,120 --> 00:06:53,440 Speaker 1: awful incident. So we need to know the details. The 113 00:06:53,560 --> 00:06:56,719 Speaker 1: Democrats immediately, because this is who they are, think of 114 00:06:56,760 --> 00:06:59,040 Speaker 1: this as what is the political advantage of the story, 115 00:06:59,320 --> 00:07:02,400 Speaker 1: And they can't imagine anyone wanting to get to the 116 00:07:02,480 --> 00:07:05,520 Speaker 1: facts and get to the truth who doesn't also take 117 00:07:05,560 --> 00:07:07,640 Speaker 1: that approach. Well, hold on a second. How about the 118 00:07:07,640 --> 00:07:12,080 Speaker 1: fact that Capitol police are supposed to be protecting him, 119 00:07:12,440 --> 00:07:15,880 Speaker 1: and police on the scene were there they each This 120 00:07:16,000 --> 00:07:18,840 Speaker 1: is from the police report. Paul Pelosi and the intruder 121 00:07:18,880 --> 00:07:22,880 Speaker 1: both had a hand on the hammer when officers responded 122 00:07:22,960 --> 00:07:27,240 Speaker 1: to the home and then police were yelling drop the hammer. 123 00:07:27,800 --> 00:07:30,400 Speaker 1: So it looks like, you know the cops. How was 124 00:07:30,440 --> 00:07:34,040 Speaker 1: their response. Why Capitol Police, it turns out, weren't monitoring 125 00:07:34,160 --> 00:07:37,080 Speaker 1: the security cameras in the home, so this guy got it. 126 00:07:37,200 --> 00:07:40,040 Speaker 1: So there's a whole Even if you just wanted to 127 00:07:40,080 --> 00:07:43,320 Speaker 1: get all the facts so that you could know whether 128 00:07:43,440 --> 00:07:47,000 Speaker 1: or not there were security gaps here that would need 129 00:07:47,000 --> 00:07:51,440 Speaker 1: to be addressed, there are completely legitimate reasons in a 130 00:07:51,560 --> 00:07:54,440 Speaker 1: number of capacities to find out what exactly happened here, 131 00:07:54,440 --> 00:07:57,160 Speaker 1: because it's a serious incident and what did the left do? 132 00:07:57,640 --> 00:08:00,560 Speaker 1: They made it about Every Republican is somehow guilty of 133 00:08:00,560 --> 00:08:03,320 Speaker 1: this and if you deviate or ask, if you just 134 00:08:03,360 --> 00:08:06,320 Speaker 1: ask any questions about this, you are a bad person, 135 00:08:06,560 --> 00:08:10,560 Speaker 1: an insurrectionist, white supremacist who's a threat to democracy. I 136 00:08:10,600 --> 00:08:12,480 Speaker 1: keep saying these people are out of their minds. But 137 00:08:12,600 --> 00:08:15,160 Speaker 1: this incident and how it would or would not be 138 00:08:15,160 --> 00:08:18,600 Speaker 1: shared on social media, Clay, this goes to their ability 139 00:08:18,880 --> 00:08:22,880 Speaker 1: to control the narrative and shut down basic inquiry. Look, 140 00:08:22,920 --> 00:08:26,160 Speaker 1: this is from NBC Bay Area. I'm reading from NBC 141 00:08:26,280 --> 00:08:29,800 Speaker 1: Bay Area the website out there. When officers arrived at 142 00:08:29,800 --> 00:08:32,440 Speaker 1: the Pacific Heights house in the early morning hours of 143 00:08:32,480 --> 00:08:35,800 Speaker 1: October twenty eighth. They were unaware whose home it was, 144 00:08:36,320 --> 00:08:39,520 Speaker 1: and after a knock and announced, the front door was 145 00:08:39,600 --> 00:08:43,560 Speaker 1: opened by Paul Pelosi, according to an NBC News report 146 00:08:43,960 --> 00:08:47,440 Speaker 1: citing sources familiar with the events at the home, After 147 00:08:47,600 --> 00:08:52,960 Speaker 1: answering the door, Pelosi began walking several feet toward the assailant, 148 00:08:53,120 --> 00:08:57,000 Speaker 1: away from police into the foyer. According to the report, 149 00:08:57,679 --> 00:09:00,600 Speaker 1: it's unclear if Pelosi was already injured or what his 150 00:09:00,679 --> 00:09:04,680 Speaker 1: mental state was. The sources told NBC News the officers 151 00:09:04,679 --> 00:09:08,320 Speaker 1: saw Pelosi in the suspect, who smiled at them, and 152 00:09:08,480 --> 00:09:13,320 Speaker 1: a struggle ensued as officers saw a suspect, David Depepe, 153 00:09:13,440 --> 00:09:17,360 Speaker 1: strike Pelosi with a hammer. The sources told NBC News, So, 154 00:09:18,240 --> 00:09:21,000 Speaker 1: these are real questions, and I would just point out 155 00:09:21,400 --> 00:09:23,400 Speaker 1: that they're the same kind of questions Buck, that you 156 00:09:23,520 --> 00:09:27,520 Speaker 1: and I on this show asked as all of the 157 00:09:27,640 --> 00:09:32,320 Speaker 1: Uvalde details came out around that school shooting. Remember, there 158 00:09:32,360 --> 00:09:37,439 Speaker 1: were tons of details that ended up being untrue that 159 00:09:37,480 --> 00:09:40,679 Speaker 1: were initially considered to be part of the official narrative 160 00:09:40,720 --> 00:09:43,920 Speaker 1: of what happened that that school shooting. And it's the 161 00:09:44,080 --> 00:09:48,479 Speaker 1: job I believe of journalists in general to be skeptical 162 00:09:48,520 --> 00:09:51,599 Speaker 1: and ask questions to try to find out what actually 163 00:09:51,679 --> 00:09:55,920 Speaker 1: has ensued in order to find yourself able to talk 164 00:09:55,920 --> 00:09:58,040 Speaker 1: about the facts in question. I just think it's super 165 00:09:58,080 --> 00:10:01,360 Speaker 1: weird that if you were really afraid of this guy, 166 00:10:02,080 --> 00:10:05,240 Speaker 1: you would be opening the door to police and then 167 00:10:05,360 --> 00:10:09,200 Speaker 1: turning and walking back towards him, as opposed to fleeing 168 00:10:09,240 --> 00:10:11,840 Speaker 1: into the arms of the police and saying thank you, 169 00:10:11,920 --> 00:10:15,679 Speaker 1: I'm so so glad that you are here again in 170 00:10:15,720 --> 00:10:17,920 Speaker 1: your house. Take it outside of Paul Pelosi. If there 171 00:10:18,000 --> 00:10:21,160 Speaker 1: was an intruder and the police arrived and the intruder 172 00:10:21,240 --> 00:10:25,559 Speaker 1: was still there and you opened the door, almost everyone 173 00:10:25,640 --> 00:10:29,720 Speaker 1: would run outside of that house, run right behind the police, 174 00:10:29,760 --> 00:10:31,840 Speaker 1: thank him for being there, and say take care of 175 00:10:31,880 --> 00:10:34,800 Speaker 1: this guy. Paul Pelosi didn't do that. He opened the door, 176 00:10:34,880 --> 00:10:39,040 Speaker 1: then turned around and walked back towards this individual. These 177 00:10:39,040 --> 00:10:41,880 Speaker 1: are legitimate questions that deserve to be asked, and evidently 178 00:10:41,920 --> 00:10:45,400 Speaker 1: that's when he was severely attacked with the hammer. Now 179 00:10:45,440 --> 00:10:47,400 Speaker 1: maybe again, yeah, maybe he was drunk, Maybe he was 180 00:10:47,480 --> 00:10:49,480 Speaker 1: under the influence of sleeping pills, Maybe there was some 181 00:10:49,600 --> 00:10:53,120 Speaker 1: mental state that he was not in fully working order 182 00:10:53,320 --> 00:10:55,280 Speaker 1: but that needs to come out too. One of the 183 00:10:55,280 --> 00:10:59,400 Speaker 1: big lessons we have from the pandemic in particular, I 184 00:10:59,440 --> 00:11:05,200 Speaker 1: would say, is the moment a Democrat says, shut up 185 00:11:05,200 --> 00:11:09,280 Speaker 1: and stop asking questions. You need to ask more questions. Yeah, 186 00:11:09,679 --> 00:11:12,440 Speaker 1: the moment they tell you you're not allowed to wonder 187 00:11:12,480 --> 00:11:16,079 Speaker 1: about this. You need to be digging in and getting 188 00:11:16,080 --> 00:11:19,080 Speaker 1: at the facts with everything you've got, because this is 189 00:11:19,120 --> 00:11:22,000 Speaker 1: just in their nature, this is in their mentality. And 190 00:11:22,320 --> 00:11:25,280 Speaker 1: with this Paul Pelosi thing, I mean, they've been running 191 00:11:25,320 --> 00:11:28,840 Speaker 1: all these They dominated the news cycle last weekend with 192 00:11:28,880 --> 00:11:30,599 Speaker 1: the story. And the story wasn't just that there was 193 00:11:30,640 --> 00:11:33,080 Speaker 1: an assault and that this is far too common by 194 00:11:33,120 --> 00:11:35,240 Speaker 1: the way that senior citizens are being You know how 195 00:11:35,240 --> 00:11:37,360 Speaker 1: many times I said old ladies are being bludgeoned in 196 00:11:37,360 --> 00:11:40,080 Speaker 1: the streets because of idiot Democrat policies. It's true in 197 00:11:40,120 --> 00:11:42,080 Speaker 1: this case, it was an old man bludgeoned in his home, 198 00:11:42,920 --> 00:11:46,800 Speaker 1: and yet it all turned into Trump people are awful. 199 00:11:47,320 --> 00:11:49,840 Speaker 1: They're making up all these things, but they don't have 200 00:11:49,880 --> 00:11:52,960 Speaker 1: answers about this yet. And why aren't they asking questions 201 00:11:53,040 --> 00:11:55,400 Speaker 1: if they're journalists who are supposed to get facts, Because 202 00:11:55,440 --> 00:11:58,079 Speaker 1: as I've said, they always say Oh, it's what's some 203 00:11:58,240 --> 00:12:00,800 Speaker 1: conspiracy about whether Paul you know they said to Populos 204 00:12:00,840 --> 00:12:03,320 Speaker 1: he know him or all that. That's one line of inquiry. 205 00:12:03,320 --> 00:12:05,240 Speaker 1: The other one is how does this happen to the 206 00:12:05,240 --> 00:12:08,440 Speaker 1: speaker of the house's husband with cops who are supposed 207 00:12:08,480 --> 00:12:10,480 Speaker 1: to be protecting them, and then cops on the scene 208 00:12:10,480 --> 00:12:12,960 Speaker 1: in two minutes. I mean, the whole thing is a mess. 209 00:12:13,360 --> 00:12:15,000 Speaker 1: So how can we not want to know what's going 210 00:12:15,040 --> 00:12:18,240 Speaker 1: on here? Why wouldn't they release the body camera footage 211 00:12:18,240 --> 00:12:21,360 Speaker 1: of the police officers? How many times have we seen 212 00:12:21,840 --> 00:12:27,720 Speaker 1: right wing in quotation marks individuals arrested where almost instantaneously 213 00:12:27,800 --> 00:12:30,680 Speaker 1: the bodycam footage comes out? Who was the guy buck 214 00:12:30,720 --> 00:12:32,840 Speaker 1: that they had standing outside of his garage in a 215 00:12:32,920 --> 00:12:36,959 Speaker 1: long shirt and his underwear, and almost immediately they released 216 00:12:37,000 --> 00:12:39,280 Speaker 1: that footage to try to humiliate the guy that they 217 00:12:39,280 --> 00:12:44,520 Speaker 1: had arrested. How many of these abortion protesters, the pro 218 00:12:44,600 --> 00:12:47,320 Speaker 1: life protesters who have stood outside of abortion clinics that 219 00:12:47,320 --> 00:12:49,680 Speaker 1: have been arrested, How many of those have we seen 220 00:12:49,800 --> 00:12:54,959 Speaker 1: videos of the FBI arriving and arresting those individuals. Certainly 221 00:12:55,120 --> 00:12:59,800 Speaker 1: this is a commonplace activity. Why would there not be 222 00:13:00,080 --> 00:13:03,319 Speaker 1: public interest in being able to see what was said 223 00:13:03,520 --> 00:13:09,120 Speaker 1: and what those officers bodycams show in San Francisco. I mean, 224 00:13:09,280 --> 00:13:11,760 Speaker 1: these are not crazy questions. These are legitimate questions, and 225 00:13:11,760 --> 00:13:13,600 Speaker 1: I would point out Buck, You're one hundred percent right. 226 00:13:14,120 --> 00:13:17,600 Speaker 1: The more people say you aren't allowed to ask these questions, 227 00:13:17,640 --> 00:13:20,760 Speaker 1: the more you should be pushing and asking those questions, 228 00:13:20,800 --> 00:13:23,480 Speaker 1: because it makes it seem like there is something to 229 00:13:23,559 --> 00:13:26,080 Speaker 1: hide and that the story is not as we would 230 00:13:26,120 --> 00:13:29,079 Speaker 1: have expected. I would bet that there will be more 231 00:13:29,120 --> 00:13:32,680 Speaker 1: details come out about this after the election, and it 232 00:13:32,720 --> 00:13:35,360 Speaker 1: will emerge that this was not I still think it's 233 00:13:35,360 --> 00:13:38,520 Speaker 1: strange that a forty two year old nudist who lives 234 00:13:38,520 --> 00:13:41,640 Speaker 1: in a house with BLM signs in Berkeley, California, lives 235 00:13:41,640 --> 00:13:45,400 Speaker 1: in a bus Clay in a bus. Okay, I mean 236 00:13:45,640 --> 00:13:48,600 Speaker 1: this guy's not sane, right, he's insane, let's say that. 237 00:13:48,679 --> 00:13:52,319 Speaker 1: But do you think, like, hey, who was most likely 238 00:13:52,360 --> 00:13:55,199 Speaker 1: to be big in the MAGA camp forty three year 239 00:13:55,200 --> 00:13:58,680 Speaker 1: old Berkeley nudist, forty two year old middle aged Berkeley 240 00:13:59,679 --> 00:14:03,959 Speaker 1: beer nudist. It's not who I would go with Wheelhouse 241 00:14:04,040 --> 00:14:07,720 Speaker 1: MAGA supporter. So I think this guy's clearly got mental issues. 242 00:14:08,320 --> 00:14:10,400 Speaker 1: But what in the world was going on that Paul 243 00:14:10,440 --> 00:14:14,000 Speaker 1: Pelosi was not fleeing when police arrived, while was he 244 00:14:14,080 --> 00:14:15,880 Speaker 1: still inside the house with this guy. I don't think 245 00:14:15,880 --> 00:14:20,800 Speaker 1: we've got a lot of Berkeley nudist protester Kami's listening 246 00:14:20,880 --> 00:14:25,600 Speaker 1: right now. But if we got a few, well possible welcome. Yeah, 247 00:14:25,640 --> 00:14:27,720 Speaker 1: it's a sign of the strength and power and reach 248 00:14:27,760 --> 00:14:29,720 Speaker 1: of the show if you guys are also listening. But 249 00:14:30,040 --> 00:14:33,480 Speaker 1: I wouldn't say that's our base, and I certainly wouldn't 250 00:14:33,520 --> 00:14:37,040 Speaker 1: say that's the MAGA base, not our base middle age 251 00:14:37,160 --> 00:14:41,240 Speaker 1: nudist not. First of all, not a very big bass 252 00:14:41,800 --> 00:14:44,200 Speaker 1: might be Nancy Pelosi's bass, it's not a very big 253 00:14:44,240 --> 00:14:47,440 Speaker 1: bass to start with. Just doesn't feel like any of 254 00:14:47,480 --> 00:14:50,560 Speaker 1: these details are adding up, and asking those questions is 255 00:14:50,600 --> 00:14:55,960 Speaker 1: not unacceptable, it's actually what skeptical media and journalists should 256 00:14:55,960 --> 00:14:59,880 Speaker 1: be doing. Look, inflation is rising, we got a vol 257 00:15:00,120 --> 00:15:04,000 Speaker 1: to stock market that's reeking, havoc on retirement accounts everywhere. 258 00:15:04,400 --> 00:15:08,080 Speaker 1: All of this economic and certainty is a mess, which 259 00:15:08,120 --> 00:15:11,680 Speaker 1: is why Phoenix Capital Groups suggests you diversify your investments. 260 00:15:11,720 --> 00:15:15,320 Speaker 1: They're introducing investors to high value oil and gas investments 261 00:15:15,360 --> 00:15:18,080 Speaker 1: here in the United States with current yields from eight 262 00:15:18,120 --> 00:15:22,480 Speaker 1: to eleven percent per year, paid monthly.

That's three two three PHO E N I X. 274 00:16:11,640 --> 00:16:13,680 Speaker 1: Welcome back to Clay and Buck. I mentioned this before. 275 00:16:13,760 --> 00:16:16,400 Speaker 1: The view had John Fetterman on today because you know, 276 00:16:17,120 --> 00:16:20,760 Speaker 1: whatever works, and yeah, I mean Sonny Hawston is there 277 00:16:20,800 --> 00:16:24,160 Speaker 1: to tell you that Fetterman is like a combination of 278 00:16:24,200 --> 00:16:28,600 Speaker 1: George Washington and Socrates, and he's amazing. He's even got 279 00:16:28,640 --> 00:16:31,200 Speaker 1: a Masters from Harvard. Listen to this. Well, I think 280 00:16:31,200 --> 00:16:33,960 Speaker 1: you look and sound great. So last week, let me 281 00:16:34,000 --> 00:16:36,440 Speaker 1: ask you this. You and doctor Oz faced off in 282 00:16:36,480 --> 00:16:40,200 Speaker 1: your first televised debate, and you said, quote, it wasn't 283 00:16:40,240 --> 00:16:43,600 Speaker 1: exactly easy. I think it was an incredibly courageous and 284 00:16:43,640 --> 00:16:46,160 Speaker 1: brave thing for you to show what healing from a 285 00:16:46,200 --> 00:16:50,200 Speaker 1: stroke looks like. That's incredibly brave. On the other hand, 286 00:16:51,200 --> 00:16:55,680 Speaker 1: doctor Oz a cardiac surgeon, and my view came off 287 00:16:55,720 --> 00:16:59,600 Speaker 1: as a bully. After the debate, the Republican National Committee 288 00:16:59,640 --> 00:17:03,840 Speaker 1: Chair and Rona McDaniel mocked you, mocked your speaking abilities. 289 00:17:04,320 --> 00:17:06,600 Speaker 1: Does any of this surprise you? A man with a 290 00:17:06,680 --> 00:17:11,000 Speaker 1: Harvard master's degree. I really believe that it wasn't an 291 00:17:12,000 --> 00:17:16,000 Speaker 1: even event for me without a doubt. Oh he's a victim, 292 00:17:16,200 --> 00:17:18,639 Speaker 1: but he's a hero, and he's a genius, but he 293 00:17:18,680 --> 00:17:23,000 Speaker 1: can't speak properly. Oh okay, Clay, nobody with an IQ 294 00:17:23,080 --> 00:17:25,000 Speaker 1: of a room temperature really believes this. That's what I 295 00:17:25,080 --> 00:17:29,119 Speaker 1: That's what I think. Does the View have the dumbest 296 00:17:29,240 --> 00:17:32,720 Speaker 1: audience of a daily show in America that deals with 297 00:17:32,760 --> 00:17:35,840 Speaker 1: current events? I think so, yes, that's probably fair. Right. 298 00:17:35,840 --> 00:17:38,479 Speaker 1: Can you think of a dumber audience? I can't. Um 299 00:17:38,840 --> 00:17:42,719 Speaker 1: and Sonny Houston just called white women roaches yesterday and 300 00:17:42,800 --> 00:17:46,080 Speaker 1: it's like it didn't even happen, which I'm not canceled culture. 301 00:17:46,160 --> 00:17:47,960 Speaker 1: Nobody I think who probably listens to this show is 302 00:17:48,000 --> 00:17:54,200 Speaker 1: canceled culture. But can we just have consistent culture? Ie Dless, 303 00:17:54,359 --> 00:17:59,000 Speaker 1: let's just not call people cho a good start, general idea.

What are some of the things you're picking 333 00:19:40,680 --> 00:19:43,120 Speaker 1: up from talking to people? I mean, you're you're kind 334 00:19:43,119 --> 00:19:45,480 Speaker 1: of a main street whisperer as a journalist because you 335 00:19:45,480 --> 00:19:48,800 Speaker 1: actually talk to people on main street of towns across America. 336 00:19:48,840 --> 00:19:51,560 Speaker 1: What are you hearing right? Well, I live in the 337 00:19:51,600 --> 00:19:54,240 Speaker 1: Paris of Appalachia, so I feel like I'm a little 338 00:19:54,280 --> 00:19:58,600 Speaker 1: bit more connected to understanding people or reading people. So 339 00:19:58,640 --> 00:20:00,720 Speaker 1: I drove all the way across the stay to go 340 00:20:00,880 --> 00:20:05,199 Speaker 1: to the to the debate, and I had sort of 341 00:20:05,240 --> 00:20:08,240 Speaker 1: an epiphany on like, why do I want to watch 342 00:20:08,280 --> 00:20:11,640 Speaker 1: this with a bunch of other journalists. So I turned around, 343 00:20:12,119 --> 00:20:14,960 Speaker 1: drove a couple hours back, star stopped in a bar, 344 00:20:15,440 --> 00:20:19,560 Speaker 1: and I just wanted to observe people to reactions to 345 00:20:20,680 --> 00:20:24,240 Speaker 1: the debate. You have to understand why we followed this 346 00:20:24,320 --> 00:20:30,720 Speaker 1: job intensely, and I have been reporting about betterman's condition 347 00:20:31,000 --> 00:20:36,520 Speaker 1: since June. Uh and Uh. Most of others still didn't 348 00:20:36,560 --> 00:20:39,200 Speaker 1: have an idea. They knew he had a stroke. They 349 00:20:39,240 --> 00:20:42,840 Speaker 1: saw a couple of his rallies where he spoke for 350 00:20:42,880 --> 00:20:46,600 Speaker 1: four minutes. It was uncomfortable, but it wasn't awful. And 351 00:20:46,720 --> 00:20:51,440 Speaker 1: then they watched the debate and they were stunned. They 352 00:20:51,480 --> 00:20:56,080 Speaker 1: had no idea at the at the breadth of his 353 00:20:56,280 --> 00:21:01,560 Speaker 1: cognitive abilities, not that he has trouble speaking, but he 354 00:21:01,600 --> 00:21:06,480 Speaker 1: has troubled in taking whatever conversation that is happening with him, 355 00:21:06,600 --> 00:21:08,960 Speaker 1: and he one's trying to make with him, and he 356 00:21:09,160 --> 00:21:14,879 Speaker 1: can't respond in a meaningful way, and that really took 357 00:21:15,440 --> 00:21:18,840 Speaker 1: voters breath away. Now I saw a couple of things 358 00:21:18,880 --> 00:21:22,639 Speaker 1: happening of voters have said they're mad at my profession, 359 00:21:22,800 --> 00:21:25,800 Speaker 1: and I don't blame them, you know, and not everyone's 360 00:21:25,880 --> 00:21:28,840 Speaker 1: brilliant enough to read me every day when you dot com. 361 00:21:30,000 --> 00:21:34,280 Speaker 1: But you know, they trusted the journalists would tell this 362 00:21:34,480 --> 00:21:38,480 Speaker 1: story and they would know, and they didn't. And so 363 00:21:38,520 --> 00:21:42,000 Speaker 1: they're mad at journalists, and they're mad at Democrats for 364 00:21:42,200 --> 00:21:45,520 Speaker 1: standing up there and clapping and saying, didn't he do terrific? 365 00:21:46,160 --> 00:21:52,240 Speaker 1: And they're like no. So it is kind of fascinating 366 00:21:52,359 --> 00:21:54,760 Speaker 1: the degree to which there was clearly a cover up 367 00:21:54,800 --> 00:21:57,879 Speaker 1: for Fetterman's condition, and then the fact that they basically 368 00:21:57,960 --> 00:21:59,600 Speaker 1: blew it. I mean, I've talked to a lot of 369 00:22:00,080 --> 00:22:04,200 Speaker 1: campaign advisors and consultants who say that Fetterman should fire 370 00:22:04,320 --> 00:22:07,679 Speaker 1: everyone who advises him because he may well have lost 371 00:22:07,760 --> 00:22:10,720 Speaker 1: his election in that one hour debate and it might 372 00:22:10,720 --> 00:22:13,080 Speaker 1: have been better to just go down and take all 373 00:22:13,119 --> 00:22:16,760 Speaker 1: the criticisms for not having public debates. How do you 374 00:22:16,800 --> 00:22:19,280 Speaker 1: see this breaking out? Do you think that we are 375 00:22:19,280 --> 00:22:21,919 Speaker 1: going to get a red wave or a red tsunami, 376 00:22:22,200 --> 00:22:26,200 Speaker 1: or are effectively we still entrenched in the same way 377 00:22:26,200 --> 00:22:29,080 Speaker 1: that we were in twenty twenty, where there's about fifty 378 00:22:29,119 --> 00:22:31,240 Speaker 1: percent of the public on one side fifty percent on 379 00:22:31,320 --> 00:22:34,280 Speaker 1: the other, and it's very difficult for either side to 380 00:22:34,320 --> 00:22:40,280 Speaker 1: make substantial gains. I mean unless something dramatic happens between 381 00:22:40,359 --> 00:22:45,320 Speaker 1: today and Tuesday, and that means across the country, something 382 00:22:45,840 --> 00:22:50,720 Speaker 1: catastrophic happens. I can't imagine they're not being a red tsunami. 383 00:22:51,320 --> 00:22:54,320 Speaker 1: I can't imagine they're not being plus thirty seats and 384 00:22:54,359 --> 00:22:56,280 Speaker 1: then new seats in the House. And you have to 385 00:22:56,320 --> 00:23:01,080 Speaker 1: remember that that is on top of the additional fifteen 386 00:23:01,160 --> 00:23:04,480 Speaker 1: seats that Republicans won in twenty twenty. Everyone seems to 387 00:23:04,480 --> 00:23:07,479 Speaker 1: start to forget. Yeah, there was a red wave in 388 00:23:07,520 --> 00:23:12,359 Speaker 1: twenty twenty. We just didn't talk about it enough. And 389 00:23:12,400 --> 00:23:15,000 Speaker 1: I think there's probably going to be three to four 390 00:23:15,119 --> 00:23:23,200 Speaker 1: plus Republican I mean a plus Republicans in the US Senate. So, Selena, 391 00:23:23,320 --> 00:23:25,280 Speaker 1: what happens then? I agree with a lot of your 392 00:23:25,280 --> 00:23:29,600 Speaker 1: predictions there. When Democrats wake up on November ninth, they 393 00:23:29,680 --> 00:23:32,679 Speaker 1: do what, as we already start to pivot towards the 394 00:23:32,720 --> 00:23:35,080 Speaker 1: mid terms, did they say this is an aberration, this 395 00:23:35,160 --> 00:23:38,600 Speaker 1: is a historical expected outcome. We're going to redo things 396 00:23:38,600 --> 00:23:41,200 Speaker 1: like we did after ninety four in two thy ten, 397 00:23:41,280 --> 00:23:44,119 Speaker 1: we'll still win reelection. What do they do? What is 398 00:23:44,160 --> 00:23:49,440 Speaker 1: their mindset? I think unfourth. If they were smart, they 399 00:23:49,440 --> 00:23:52,439 Speaker 1: would look to a candidate like Josh Shapiro in my 400 00:23:52,600 --> 00:23:56,320 Speaker 1: state and say this is how we should run. We 401 00:23:56,320 --> 00:23:59,960 Speaker 1: should be more about you know, solutions and common sense. 402 00:24:00,119 --> 00:24:02,560 Speaker 1: So we should stop making fun of people, we should 403 00:24:02,560 --> 00:24:06,520 Speaker 1: stop calling people extremists, and we should talk about things 404 00:24:06,520 --> 00:24:11,040 Speaker 1: that we can work about being good managers. They're not 405 00:24:11,080 --> 00:24:13,960 Speaker 1: going to do that. They're going to say, we weren't 406 00:24:14,000 --> 00:24:18,240 Speaker 1: far left enough. We lost because these candidates weren't far 407 00:24:18,400 --> 00:24:22,200 Speaker 1: left enough, and and for them, those parts far left 408 00:24:22,200 --> 00:24:25,639 Speaker 1: candidates didn't fare very well in primaries, so a little 409 00:24:25,640 --> 00:24:29,840 Speaker 1: bit more moderate Democrat one primaries. So they're going to say, 410 00:24:30,400 --> 00:24:33,280 Speaker 1: you know, in in in the middle of the country. 411 00:24:33,600 --> 00:24:37,440 Speaker 1: So they're going to say, you see, they weren't left enough, 412 00:24:37,520 --> 00:24:40,480 Speaker 1: that's why we lost. And they're gonna double down. They're 413 00:24:40,920 --> 00:24:43,960 Speaker 1: not admit it did anything wrong. So we're speaking to 414 00:24:43,960 --> 00:24:47,239 Speaker 1: Selena Zito. She's been covering every battleground state on the 415 00:24:47,280 --> 00:24:50,720 Speaker 1: ground going into this midterm. Selena zedo dot com for 416 00:24:50,760 --> 00:24:55,280 Speaker 1: her latest stories and posts. Selena, what is the sense 417 00:24:55,320 --> 00:24:57,760 Speaker 1: you get when you're in some of these battleground areas. 418 00:24:58,280 --> 00:25:02,080 Speaker 1: You know, Trump hasn't been a major part of the 419 00:25:02,119 --> 00:25:05,280 Speaker 1: mid term discussion on the right, um, not in the 420 00:25:05,320 --> 00:25:07,840 Speaker 1: way that I think some had anticipated. The left wanted 421 00:25:07,840 --> 00:25:10,080 Speaker 1: to make them, the Democrats wanted to make him much 422 00:25:10,119 --> 00:25:12,479 Speaker 1: more of a centerpiece with the Mari Lago raid and 423 00:25:12,480 --> 00:25:15,600 Speaker 1: then the January six hearings, et cetera. Then he ended 424 00:25:15,680 --> 00:25:18,639 Speaker 1: up being but what are you hearing from people in 425 00:25:18,720 --> 00:25:21,560 Speaker 1: these in these places that Trump's going to have to 426 00:25:21,600 --> 00:25:23,560 Speaker 1: win if in fact he does run again, Because you 427 00:25:23,640 --> 00:25:26,520 Speaker 1: may have seen Axios is reporting there could be a 428 00:25:26,560 --> 00:25:33,120 Speaker 1: presidential running announcement on November fourteenth. This is probably gonna 429 00:25:33,119 --> 00:25:36,199 Speaker 1: make some people bad. But the people that I talked to, 430 00:25:36,320 --> 00:25:40,760 Speaker 1: who are most of them are ardent. Trump supporters love 431 00:25:40,880 --> 00:25:44,960 Speaker 1: him for changing things up and mixing and and help 432 00:25:45,520 --> 00:25:50,280 Speaker 1: galvanize a coalition that he didn't start, but he was 433 00:25:50,400 --> 00:25:54,000 Speaker 1: able to um he was a result of he didn't 434 00:25:54,040 --> 00:26:00,040 Speaker 1: cause voters look forward. They they are, they want some 435 00:26:00,080 --> 00:26:04,240 Speaker 1: one knew. They're grateful, they love him. However, if you 436 00:26:04,280 --> 00:26:06,760 Speaker 1: have an honest conversation with the voter, they will tell 437 00:26:06,800 --> 00:26:13,160 Speaker 1: you if we're ready to move forward, we don't if 438 00:26:13,280 --> 00:26:16,480 Speaker 1: voters don't look in the rear view mirror. That's why 439 00:26:16,520 --> 00:26:22,760 Speaker 1: we rarely have people run, lose, and then run again, 440 00:26:23,280 --> 00:26:27,400 Speaker 1: because voters, you know, soy Killery Clinton, They're gonna lose, 441 00:26:27,520 --> 00:26:31,399 Speaker 1: They're gonna run again, You're gonna lose. It's very rare 442 00:26:32,040 --> 00:26:36,440 Speaker 1: that Richard Nixon would be the exception. Grover Cleveland would 443 00:26:36,440 --> 00:26:39,040 Speaker 1: be the exception. But those are about the only two 444 00:26:39,080 --> 00:26:43,520 Speaker 1: exceptions that I can think of. Voters always want to 445 00:26:43,640 --> 00:26:47,160 Speaker 1: are always looking forward that and there's a nuance there 446 00:26:47,200 --> 00:26:49,880 Speaker 1: that I think is really important. This does not take 447 00:26:49,920 --> 00:26:53,040 Speaker 1: away from anything they liked about him. This is not 448 00:26:53,160 --> 00:26:56,919 Speaker 1: take away from them liking him still. This is about 449 00:26:57,040 --> 00:27:00,920 Speaker 1: moving forward. So if you were better right now, Selena, 450 00:27:01,000 --> 00:27:04,200 Speaker 1: what's the matchup look like in twenty four? Hood Republicans 451 00:27:04,720 --> 00:27:06,919 Speaker 1: bring out and do you think Buck and I have 452 00:27:07,000 --> 00:27:10,480 Speaker 1: been having fun going back and forth on this four months. 453 00:27:10,720 --> 00:27:12,960 Speaker 1: I don't think Joe Biden is going to run again. 454 00:27:13,119 --> 00:27:16,359 Speaker 1: Buck thinks he is. What does twenty four look like? 455 00:27:17,720 --> 00:27:20,160 Speaker 1: Joe Biden's gonna run a run because his wife's gonna 456 00:27:20,520 --> 00:27:22,520 Speaker 1: want him to run, and his wife's gonna want him 457 00:27:22,560 --> 00:27:25,800 Speaker 1: to run because if he doesn't run, he's just going 458 00:27:25,840 --> 00:27:29,400 Speaker 1: to fade off into Lulla land. That's that's just like 459 00:27:29,440 --> 00:27:34,400 Speaker 1: the brutal honesty of that um, and I think what 460 00:27:34,480 --> 00:27:38,520 Speaker 1: you will see come January, You'll see a candidate like 461 00:27:39,000 --> 00:27:42,800 Speaker 1: Mike Pompeo, and then Tim Scott, and then Tom Cotton 462 00:27:42,880 --> 00:27:45,639 Speaker 1: and then Nicky Hayley. These are the candidates that are 463 00:27:45,640 --> 00:27:47,160 Speaker 1: going to can you think a lot of people are 464 00:27:47,160 --> 00:27:51,160 Speaker 1: going to challenge Trump? Yes, and then and obviously round 465 00:27:51,320 --> 00:27:54,159 Speaker 1: Scantist and and and there will be a whack a 466 00:27:54,240 --> 00:27:58,320 Speaker 1: mole um primary um contest where someone will be up, 467 00:27:58,359 --> 00:27:59,960 Speaker 1: then they'll be down, then it'll be up, then they'll 468 00:28:00,080 --> 00:28:05,840 Speaker 1: be down. But there is a very vibrant, very exciting 469 00:28:06,720 --> 00:28:11,840 Speaker 1: lineup for Republicans, and I you know, for Republican primary, 470 00:28:12,119 --> 00:28:15,440 Speaker 1: and I think Republican primary voters are up to see 471 00:28:15,720 --> 00:28:19,760 Speaker 1: who can earn their votes. We shall see. It's going 472 00:28:19,840 --> 00:28:23,040 Speaker 1: to be a busy and interesting year in politics. And 473 00:28:23,119 --> 00:28:25,399 Speaker 1: Selena's got some big predictions that really align with their 474 00:28:25,440 --> 00:28:27,880 Speaker 1: own about how this midterm is going to go.

Now, Buck, what is your allow you to 500 00:29:53,560 --> 00:29:56,880 Speaker 1: change on both Monday and Tuesday. We got a bunch 501 00:29:56,880 --> 00:29:59,000 Speaker 1: of guests coming your way in the third hour. Ron 502 00:29:59,080 --> 00:30:02,280 Speaker 1: Johnson by the way of Wisconsin. Our friend Jesse Kelly, 503 00:30:02,320 --> 00:30:05,040 Speaker 1: he of the seventy five dollars Twitter shots, he's going 504 00:30:05,080 --> 00:30:08,080 Speaker 1: to be in town for our party. And Eli Crane, 505 00:30:08,480 --> 00:30:13,520 Speaker 1: Special Forces former member who is running in an Arizona 506 00:30:13,760 --> 00:30:17,240 Speaker 1: Navy Seal former Navy seal. Okay, are you a former 507 00:30:17,320 --> 00:30:20,880 Speaker 1: Navy seal or you forever a Navy seal? I think 508 00:30:20,920 --> 00:30:23,920 Speaker 1: you're considered a former Navy seal, like you're a former marine. 509 00:30:24,000 --> 00:30:27,040 Speaker 1: Never an x marine, only a former Marine, former seal. 510 00:30:27,280 --> 00:30:30,400 Speaker 1: But special Forces generally, there's Special Operations, which is the 511 00:30:30,440 --> 00:30:33,960 Speaker 1: broader categorization that would include a whole range of things 512 00:30:33,960 --> 00:30:37,880 Speaker 1: including Seals, marsk SSET. But when you say someone is 513 00:30:37,920 --> 00:30:40,719 Speaker 1: Special Forces, that usually is a reference to Green Beret, 514 00:30:41,200 --> 00:30:43,960 Speaker 1: which is a specific mission set within the United States Army. 515 00:30:44,560 --> 00:30:46,880 Speaker 1: All right, so he is going to be with us 516 00:30:46,880 --> 00:30:50,080 Speaker 1: at two forty five and is likely to become a congressman. 517 00:30:51,040 --> 00:30:55,920 Speaker 1: You just heard Selena Zito, who laid out her projections 518 00:30:56,000 --> 00:31:00,000 Speaker 1: for the House in the Senate. You could adjust them 519 00:31:00,080 --> 00:31:02,800 Speaker 1: on Monday. You can adjust them on Tuesday as well. 520 00:31:04,640 --> 00:31:08,000 Speaker 1: Mister Clay, it's gonna be an expensive dinner, sir, it's 521 00:31:08,000 --> 00:31:11,440 Speaker 1: gonna be I'm ordering Jesse Kelly shots at that dinner. 522 00:31:11,480 --> 00:31:13,440 Speaker 1: I'm just telling you right now, we're I'm gonna make 523 00:31:13,440 --> 00:31:15,920 Speaker 1: sure that that restaurant's cheaper than the Jesse Kelly seventy 524 00:31:15,960 --> 00:31:18,200 Speaker 1: five dollars shot plays, even if it's the same brand. 525 00:31:18,560 --> 00:31:24,080 Speaker 1: So I tweeted on New Year's Day or New Year's 526 00:31:24,120 --> 00:31:27,720 Speaker 1: Eve that I thought that Republicans would pick up twenty 527 00:31:27,720 --> 00:31:30,840 Speaker 1: five seats in the House and that they would pick 528 00:31:30,960 --> 00:31:34,480 Speaker 1: up three seats in the Senate. I am going to 529 00:31:34,600 --> 00:31:37,080 Speaker 1: stick with my prediction because I want to have nailed 530 00:31:37,080 --> 00:31:42,920 Speaker 1: it from January first of twenty twenty two or December 531 00:31:42,960 --> 00:31:45,240 Speaker 1: thirty first. Somebody can go look up that tweet. It's 532 00:31:45,240 --> 00:31:48,280 Speaker 1: out there. So I'm saying twenty five in the House 533 00:31:48,760 --> 00:31:51,320 Speaker 1: and three in the Senate. I reserve the right to 534 00:31:51,440 --> 00:31:55,160 Speaker 1: adjust after the weekend Monday Tuesday, as the it begins. 535 00:31:55,560 --> 00:31:58,160 Speaker 1: What do you expect at this point, Buck, Where would 536 00:31:58,240 --> 00:32:01,800 Speaker 1: you peg the numbers? I think thirty five House seats 537 00:32:02,600 --> 00:32:05,160 Speaker 1: and I think which would be a total you know, 538 00:32:05,240 --> 00:32:08,800 Speaker 1: that would be shellacking thirty five seats in the House 539 00:32:08,800 --> 00:32:12,240 Speaker 1: pick up for Republicans. I think we win Lee Zelden 540 00:32:12,480 --> 00:32:16,440 Speaker 1: in New York. I think we win Amazing Draisen in Oregon, 541 00:32:16,560 --> 00:32:22,400 Speaker 1: Christine Drayson. I think I Tutor Dixon such a good candidate. 542 00:32:22,440 --> 00:32:24,640 Speaker 1: You know what, damn it, Tutor Dixon's gonna win two. 543 00:32:24,680 --> 00:32:26,600 Speaker 1: I'm just gonna put my money on Tutor Dixon's gonna 544 00:32:26,600 --> 00:32:28,680 Speaker 1: pull it out against Gretchen Whitmerler. That would be a 545 00:32:28,760 --> 00:32:31,720 Speaker 1: massive upset based on where we were even a month ago. 546 00:32:31,760 --> 00:32:34,440 Speaker 1: But I think she's gonna pull it out. And I'll 547 00:32:34,480 --> 00:32:37,480 Speaker 1: say fifty three Senate seats. I'll I held said fifty 548 00:32:37,520 --> 00:32:39,200 Speaker 1: two a few weeks ago. I'll go up to fifty. 549 00:32:39,200 --> 00:32:42,440 Speaker 1: I'm not going to fifty four though someone's I'm someone's 550 00:32:42,440 --> 00:32:44,720 Speaker 1: gonna break my heart that night. Man. Someone is not 551 00:32:44,720 --> 00:32:46,200 Speaker 1: going to be able to pull it out at the end, 552 00:32:46,240 --> 00:32:49,560 Speaker 1: and you know we're gonna be demanding a recount. So 553 00:32:49,600 --> 00:32:52,120 Speaker 1: what I think is interesting about the predictions as we 554 00:32:52,200 --> 00:32:56,640 Speaker 1: come down this road is so for those of you 555 00:32:56,680 --> 00:32:59,400 Speaker 1: out there who love to gamble on sports, you can 556 00:32:59,440 --> 00:33:03,080 Speaker 1: do what's called to parlay, right you take multiple games 557 00:33:03,200 --> 00:33:06,120 Speaker 1: and you all roll them together in an effort to 558 00:33:06,160 --> 00:33:08,400 Speaker 1: try to get a big payout. And to simplify it, 559 00:33:08,480 --> 00:33:11,680 Speaker 1: you pick five winners against the number or on the 560 00:33:11,760 --> 00:33:14,920 Speaker 1: money line who's gonna win, and you get a big payout, 561 00:33:15,000 --> 00:33:18,600 Speaker 1: but only if all five of your bets win. Typically 562 00:33:18,720 --> 00:33:23,080 Speaker 1: Parlay's buck are all individual events. What I mean by 563 00:33:23,080 --> 00:33:26,880 Speaker 1: that is what happens in the Georgia Tennessee game doesn't 564 00:33:26,880 --> 00:33:31,479 Speaker 1: necessarily impact what's going to happen in Florida State, Miami, right, 565 00:33:31,520 --> 00:33:34,360 Speaker 1: those are games that are going on or Alabama LSU 566 00:33:34,480 --> 00:33:40,080 Speaker 1: this weekend. The difference, however, with election analysis and betting 567 00:33:40,720 --> 00:33:45,560 Speaker 1: is there is very much the concept of, oh, this 568 00:33:45,640 --> 00:33:49,880 Speaker 1: candidate did really well in Virginia two, therefore this other 569 00:33:49,920 --> 00:33:54,200 Speaker 1: candidate in California twenty three might also do well. In 570 00:33:54,240 --> 00:33:58,000 Speaker 1: other words, there is a symbiosis in terms of the 571 00:33:58,080 --> 00:34:02,360 Speaker 1: connection here. So when you make the prediction, oh, Tutor Dixon, Leezelden, 572 00:34:02,600 --> 00:34:07,320 Speaker 1: Christine Dresen, for instance, as governors all winning, that's actually 573 00:34:07,400 --> 00:34:10,239 Speaker 1: more likely, right because if Leezeldon wins in New York, 574 00:34:10,680 --> 00:34:13,120 Speaker 1: then I bet Tutor Dixon's gonna win in Michigan. And 575 00:34:13,280 --> 00:34:17,520 Speaker 1: certainly Dreysen's gonna win in Oregon because they are interconnected 576 00:34:17,600 --> 00:34:19,719 Speaker 1: based on the Republican vote. In other words, you can't 577 00:34:19,800 --> 00:34:22,920 Speaker 1: distinguish them all uniquely. But if we get to fifty 578 00:34:22,920 --> 00:34:24,799 Speaker 1: two in the Senate, I think it will be fifty three. 579 00:34:24,960 --> 00:34:26,759 Speaker 1: If we get to fifty two in the Senate, if 580 00:34:26,760 --> 00:34:29,640 Speaker 1: we got above twenty five seats in the House, Leezelden 581 00:34:29,719 --> 00:34:32,759 Speaker 1: wins and drays and wins in Oregon, I'm gonna feel 582 00:34:32,800 --> 00:34:34,680 Speaker 1: like it's a it's a home run night. I mean, 583 00:34:34,719 --> 00:34:37,600 Speaker 1: to me, that's a home run. You start getting into 584 00:34:37,680 --> 00:34:40,200 Speaker 1: some of the people now are making predictions that it's 585 00:34:40,239 --> 00:34:42,480 Speaker 1: not just a home run. It's like someone hitting a 586 00:34:42,520 --> 00:34:45,799 Speaker 1: ball that you know, circles the globe three times and 587 00:34:45,960 --> 00:34:48,520 Speaker 1: set some kind of you know, cosmic record. Like I mean, 588 00:34:48,520 --> 00:34:51,839 Speaker 1: they're talking about crazy level and I just can't bring 589 00:34:51,880 --> 00:34:54,680 Speaker 1: myself emotionally and get to that point. But so we've 590 00:34:54,680 --> 00:34:57,080 Speaker 1: got our predictions. We may adjust a little bit. I 591 00:34:57,120 --> 00:34:58,839 Speaker 1: do have to ask you an important question. This came 592 00:34:58,880 --> 00:35:00,960 Speaker 1: up because someone sent me a new Post article, Clay. 593 00:35:01,000 --> 00:35:03,680 Speaker 1: So there's a short one and it may really divide 594 00:35:03,680 --> 00:35:05,919 Speaker 1: our audience. By the way, this is one of those 595 00:35:05,920 --> 00:35:08,080 Speaker 1: ones where folks, we're all friends here. I don't want 596 00:35:08,160 --> 00:35:11,960 Speaker 1: people getting upset at the other side when you are 597 00:35:12,000 --> 00:35:14,680 Speaker 1: in economy on a plane, as I will be in 598 00:35:14,800 --> 00:35:21,640 Speaker 1: economy flying to Nashville on Sunday. Is it okay to 599 00:35:21,800 --> 00:35:26,480 Speaker 1: recline your seat in economy? Clay No, I am super 600 00:35:26,760 --> 00:35:32,640 Speaker 1: anti recline seat. Wow, it's right now. My unscientific poll 601 00:35:32,680 --> 00:35:34,399 Speaker 1: on Twitter about this because there's a New York Post 602 00:35:34,440 --> 00:35:38,399 Speaker 1: story about somebody who shot or who points the air 603 00:35:38,480 --> 00:35:41,880 Speaker 1: vent on high in the face of recliners as a 604 00:35:42,080 --> 00:35:46,120 Speaker 1: like as a protest. That's pretty aggressive. Fifty seven forty three. 605 00:35:46,200 --> 00:35:50,200 Speaker 1: Right now, rude is winning. Almost sixty percent of people 606 00:35:50,200 --> 00:35:53,840 Speaker 1: think it's rude to recline in economy. I don't know. 607 00:35:53,920 --> 00:35:56,960 Speaker 1: I'm the seats to recline, folks. I don't know. I'm 608 00:35:57,000 --> 00:36:00,399 Speaker 1: a little I'm a little I never do it. I'll 609 00:36:00,400 --> 00:36:03,600 Speaker 1: say this. I think it partly factors in with how 610 00:36:03,600 --> 00:36:06,399 Speaker 1: big you are. Like my kids, it doesn't matter if 611 00:36:06,400 --> 00:36:09,040 Speaker 1: somebody reclines in front of them, but you and I 612 00:36:09,080 --> 00:36:12,200 Speaker 1: are both right around six feet. I oftentimes also will 613 00:36:12,239 --> 00:36:14,560 Speaker 1: travel with a laptop and try to write on the 614 00:36:14,640 --> 00:36:18,720 Speaker 1: tray in front of me. If somebody reclines. I literally 615 00:36:18,760 --> 00:36:21,960 Speaker 1: can't move, and it's almost impossible to use my laptop 616 00:36:22,000 --> 00:36:26,319 Speaker 1: as well. It's just infuriating when someone does that. Do 617 00:36:26,360 --> 00:36:29,439 Speaker 1: you also feel a swell of almost uncontrollable rage when 618 00:36:29,480 --> 00:36:32,799 Speaker 1: someone keeps hitting the seat behind you, because I get 619 00:36:32,840 --> 00:36:34,400 Speaker 1: a little crazy about that. I'm gonna tell you I 620 00:36:34,440 --> 00:36:38,279 Speaker 1: would way rather be like poked and prodded from the 621 00:36:38,280 --> 00:36:40,879 Speaker 1: back on the seat than have somebody reclined in front 622 00:36:40,880 --> 00:36:42,680 Speaker 1: of the crazy
