11-4: Blue Tsunami Indeed. How Will Americans React To The Dems' Lawfare Agenda? · Wicked Radio with Bill Adams

0:04
Speaker 1: The polls are never right. Well, they're kind of right
0:07
Speaker 1: this time. I'll tell you that much. Blue tsunami. Blue wave.
0:12
Speaker 1: And then you heard on the other side, no, the
0:14
Speaker 1: Republicans are showing up in record numbers. Enthusiasm is there.
0:18
Speaker 1: Is anybody really surprised? I mean, really, honestly. Midterms are
0:22
Speaker 1: always weird for the incumbent president anyway. A little bit
0:27
Speaker 1: shocking as far as the absolute numbers and what this is? Oh,
0:31
Speaker 1: I think so. And I don't try to be A
0:34
Speaker 1: political expert. I leave that up to the other people
0:37
Speaker 1: who do that kind of stuff. I'm pretty fairly confident, though,
0:41
Speaker 1: in saying, not an expert, but I know people. And
0:43
Speaker 1: I know how the American people, how people react to
0:46
Speaker 1: different things. And I'm telling you what to watch out
0:48
Speaker 1: for is how the American people react to this. Because
0:51
Speaker 1: two things are certain. The Republicans are awful at messaging.
0:57
Speaker 1: They just, they don't get it. They didn't have a
0:59
Speaker 1: message in this. We'll get into that in a little
1:01
Speaker 1: bit here. Just absolutely awful. And the Democrats are looking
1:04
Speaker 1: at this, what happened last night in the midterms and
1:06
Speaker 1: then gaining control of Congress as a mandate. They are already,
1:10
Speaker 1: I'll give you proof here in a second, already overconfident
1:12
Speaker 1: what they're going to do here. They're looking at this
1:15
Speaker 1: as a mandate when it really might not have been.
1:18
Speaker 1: How will Americans, regular Americans react? First thing I wanted
1:21
Speaker 1: to see, the first thing I checked this morning was
1:23
Speaker 1: to see what the voter turnout was on the red
1:25
Speaker 1: side and the Republican side. And it was down. It
1:28
Speaker 1: was even down from 2022 midterm level. which I guess
1:31
Speaker 1: isn't that surprising, but that is a major factor in this,
1:34
Speaker 1: because they always talk about this, and this goes to
1:36
Speaker 1: the people aspect of this with midterms. Never underestimate the
1:43
Speaker 1: disposable short-term memory aspect of American people. I mean, it's
1:48
Speaker 1: absolutely true. And I don't want to come across as
1:50
Speaker 1: like putting down my fellow Americans. I love my fellow Americans.
1:52
Speaker 1: I really do. But it's absolutely true. It's hard to
1:56
Speaker 1: grasp sometimes how short-term memory we are about things, how
2:01
Speaker 1: short-term we think. I truly believe this. And this was
2:05
Speaker 1: just confirmed to me last night. I think people vote
2:07
Speaker 1: on how they feel that moment. The moment, whether you're
2:11
Speaker 1: filling out a mail-in ballot or walking into the polling place.
2:14
Speaker 1: I really, truly believe that. And I think that was
2:18
Speaker 1: shown last night by people rejecting and putting back into power,
2:22
Speaker 1: people of all parties, the people that opened the borders,
2:28
Speaker 1: close down your businesses with COVID, that have some absolute lunatic, crazy, objectionable,
2:35
Speaker 1: crazy platform ideas. That won because all we're thinking about
2:40
Speaker 1: are gas prices, honestly. And that was a huge factor.
2:42
Speaker 1: Everybody kind of knew it was. Everybody did. The lower turnout,
2:46
Speaker 1: the gas prices, how people feel at the moment. So
2:48
Speaker 1: you always hear this term these days, vibes. How are
2:51
Speaker 1: the vibes? Well, the political version of vibes are enthusiasm.
2:57
Speaker 1: And you saw it, going back to those polls again,
2:59
Speaker 1: time after time after time over the past year, is
3:02
Speaker 1: that voter enthusiasm on the red side, the Republican team,
3:06
Speaker 1: was low. It just was. I think it goes back
3:10
Speaker 1: to that short-term memory thing. Somebody said it last night,
3:13
Speaker 1: and I can't remember. I was watching Fox for the coverage, which,
3:16
Speaker 1: by the way, side note, was awful. I've heard a
3:19
Speaker 1: lot of criticism of Fox's news coverage recently. It was bad.
3:23
Speaker 1: But anyways, somebody on there, I can't remember who said it,
3:26
Speaker 1: but they made a great point. This is just the
3:29
Speaker 1: bare bones truth. If you took 100 people and you
3:32
Speaker 1: put them in a room right now and you gave
3:34
Speaker 1: them a life or death choice, you can only choose
3:36
Speaker 1: one and you have to make a choice. Lower gas
3:39
Speaker 1: prices or Iran without a nuke. I'd put it at
3:45
Speaker 1: over 80% of the people would pick lower gas prices.
3:49
Speaker 1: It's just more immediate. It's just more emotional to them
3:51
Speaker 1: right now. They don't People don't understand the big issues.
3:56
Speaker 1: They just don't. You can call that the dumbing down
3:58
Speaker 1: of America if you want. I'm not going to go
4:00
Speaker 1: that far. Or it's just too complicated or awful messaging
4:04
Speaker 1: on the Republican side, whatever it is. They don't understand
4:06
Speaker 1: the big stuff that's happening. And Trump talked about this
4:09
Speaker 1: last night himself and admitted it. They've accomplished so much
4:12
Speaker 1: on the big stuff that people just don't get. They don't.
4:15
Speaker 1: But they get gas prices. They understand that. And that's
4:18
Speaker 1: where we are. And that's exactly what happened, and that's
4:21
Speaker 1: how you wind up with what this is. But here's
4:22
Speaker 1: my big takeaway on this whole thing. The doomers are
4:27
Speaker 1: out already. There's two sides of this whole thing. You've
4:30
Speaker 1: got the doomers, mostly in podcast standards, saying, America's over.
4:34
Speaker 1: It's all over. Just move. Look for different countries. Good Lord. Okay?
4:39
Speaker 1: And then you've got the same Democrat voices, opposing voices, saying,
4:44
Speaker 1: this is the mandate, how people really love our open
4:47
Speaker 1: borders and everything. Men in women's locker room and no
4:50
Speaker 1: gas cars agenda. No, they don't. They just reacted at
4:53
Speaker 1: the moment, I think. It's neither as good or as
4:56
Speaker 1: bad as we always think it is. And the overreactions
4:59
Speaker 1: are thick today. We'll get to some of them. Boy,
5:02
Speaker 1: that's a long-winded intro. Good God. Thanks for finding me.
5:05
Speaker 1: I appreciate you. Wicked Radio livestream, 8 a.m. Eastern Time,
5:09
Speaker 1: Monday through Friday on X and YouTube and Facebook. And
5:12
Speaker 1: the audio podcast, always wherever you like to get those,
5:14
Speaker 1: shortly after the livestream. You know, again... I'm trying my best.
5:18
Speaker 1: Of course, it's politics. You're talking about a midterm election
5:20
Speaker 1: and a big one. And not so shocking results, I
5:24
Speaker 1: don't think. But I think the question now is how people,
5:27
Speaker 1: the American people, are going to react going forward. All right.
5:30
Speaker 1: So what happened? One of the best explanations, I didn't
5:33
Speaker 1: find this till this morning. So Elise Stefanik, the Republican
5:38
Speaker 1: congresswoman from New York State, was on CBS last night.
5:42
Speaker 1: I didn't catch her. Like I said, I was watching Fox,
5:44
Speaker 1: which was a mistake. They sucked. Boy, I've always liked
5:48
Speaker 1: her as a lawmaker. I like what she stands for,
5:52
Speaker 1: and she's in a tough district up there. Wow, is
5:55
Speaker 1: she good on TV. I kicked it off with this
5:57
Speaker 1: one because I think she sums up exactly how bad
6:01
Speaker 1: the Republicans are at messaging. Her own party, by the way.
6:04
Speaker 1: She's criticizing them. This is what she said. No way
6:07
Speaker 1: I could say it better, and she actually knows them.
6:10
Speaker 1: She's in that party. Here you go.
6:11
Speaker 2: What does this mean? This is a Republican reckoning and
6:14
Speaker 2: a Republican reset. Trump is one of one. He built
6:19
Speaker 2: a unique coalition of his supporters, and Republicans have struggled
6:23
Speaker 2: to mimic that and build that coalition. I've been through
6:26
Speaker 2: midterm before. I've been on the ballot seven times, and
6:28
Speaker 2: in 2018, I performed better than any other Republican in
6:31
Speaker 2: the Northeast. How do you do that? You have to
6:33
Speaker 2: win independents. You have to peel off those swing voters.
6:36
Speaker 2: as well as keeping the coalition together.
6:39
Speaker 1: Honestly, is she wrong? Do you think anybody in that GOP,
6:43
Speaker 1: the old, you know, the GOP, the John Thunes of
6:45
Speaker 1: the world and Mike Johnson and those people and the
6:47
Speaker 1: people that decide who's going to run in these races,
6:50
Speaker 1: do you think they did anything or is she right?
6:52
Speaker 1: You talk about pathetic, weak leadership. And this doesn't matter.
6:57
Speaker 1: Just look at it from afar. It doesn't matter if
6:59
Speaker 1: you're a Republican or independent or Democrat. Look at what
7:01
Speaker 1: the Republicans are. They are the weakest, wimpiest, spiciest, Bindless
7:06
Speaker 1: people that you've always heard about. It's pathetic. It's just
7:10
Speaker 1: absolutely pathetic. I've said for a long time, if you
7:13
Speaker 1: look back at Trump's biggest hurdle and what he's trying
7:15
Speaker 1: to get done, it's not Democrats. That's easy. You know
7:17
Speaker 1: where they're coming from. It's Republicans in his own party,
7:21
Speaker 1: that old guard. She went on to say this, too. Again,
7:24
Speaker 1: I think she is brilliant.
7:26
Speaker 2: This is the first time that Republicans haven't run on
7:29
Speaker 2: a platform. Typically, you hear contract with America, commitment to America,
7:33
Speaker 2: pledge to America. And instead, this broad, nebulous messaging of
7:37
Speaker 2: common sense versus crazy. People are looking for more than that.
7:41
Speaker 2: And there was a tone deafness in not listening to voters.
7:44
Speaker 2: We used to own the affordability issue just two years ago.
7:47
Speaker 2: We let that slip away when people are struggling to
7:49
Speaker 2: afford their groceries, to put gas in their tank. You
7:52
Speaker 2: have to hear that as a candidate, as an elector.
7:55
Speaker 1: And they didn't. Again, tell me she's wrong. And what's
7:58
Speaker 1: fascinating and why I think she has credibility with this,
8:01
Speaker 1: she knows these people. It's her party. And she's telling them.
8:04
Speaker 1: But no, that Republican leader, they didn't listen to people
8:06
Speaker 1: like her. No, we're going to go on this common
8:09
Speaker 1: sense versus crazy argument. That doesn't ring a bell with
8:13
Speaker 1: an independent. They're like, I know. You know what independents
8:17
Speaker 1: are saying? I know that Democrats are crazy. Yeah, I
8:19
Speaker 1: get it. But what are you going to do for
8:21
Speaker 1: my mortgage? That's what this boils down to.
8:23
Speaker 3: And.
8:24
Speaker 1: They just, they don't get it. And here you have
8:27
Speaker 1: a Republican congresswoman who's right there telling you exactly what
8:32
Speaker 1: they needed to do and they totally ignored her. Like
8:34
Speaker 1: they ignored Trump when they said, you're going to have
8:36
Speaker 1: to nuke this filibuster, get the Save America Act passed. Nope,
8:39
Speaker 1: didn't do that either. It's just, it's unbelievable. You knew
8:45
Speaker 1: this was coming. Oh, all right, what did the big
8:47
Speaker 1: guy say last night? Of course, he worked the phones
8:49
Speaker 1: and he said, no, I'm still going to do what
8:50
Speaker 1: I'm going to do and whatever. So did he admit it?
8:54
Speaker 1: The big question is, was it all about Iran and
8:56
Speaker 1: these gas prices? He pretty much admitted it last night.
8:58
Speaker 1: He did call into Fox.
9:00
Speaker 4: We actually have the greatest economy.
9:03
Speaker 1: You know, I had the best economy in my first year.
9:05
Speaker 1: This blows it away.
9:06
Speaker 5: But because of the gasoline price, people don't see.
9:10
Speaker 4: It as much as they would have without it. And
9:12
Speaker 4: the gasoline was caused by Iran.
9:15
Speaker 1: Well, that sounds like an admission to me. He knew it.
9:17
Speaker 1: Of course he knew it. Of course it was. But
9:19
Speaker 1: he also is on previous interviews— I don't remember who
9:22
Speaker 1: this was. And you'll hear, I have a clip of this,
9:24
Speaker 1: Laura Ingram talking about her conversation with him about Iran.
9:27
Speaker 1: That's a regretta thing. And I think this goes back to,
9:29
Speaker 1: and I don't mean it as a criticism of people
9:32
Speaker 1: in our country, you know, our fellow Americans, our fellow Americans.
9:36
Speaker 1: I think it's just the God's honest truth. I don't
9:38
Speaker 1: think people have a grasp of what the big issues are.
9:42
Speaker 1: I don't think they understand how important it is that
9:44
Speaker 1: Iran doesn't have a nuke. I don't think they get
9:46
Speaker 1: how massive that is. For our kids and grandkids and
9:49
Speaker 1: great grandkids and whatever. No, they're thinking right now, stopping
9:52
Speaker 1: at the Piggly Wiggly to get gas. That's what they're
9:56
Speaker 1: thinking about. And it's just, it's not a criticism. I
9:58
Speaker 1: think it's just a cold, hard fact. So that's where
10:00
Speaker 1: we are. And I mean, honestly, can anybody be surprised
10:03
Speaker 1: at this? Talk about what are the vibes? What's the
10:06
Speaker 1: voter enthusiasm? Well, that was clear as day, but there
10:08
Speaker 1: was also this. We should have known. I mean, this
10:11
Speaker 1: shouldn't be a shock to anybody. I thought it would be,
10:13
Speaker 1: they'd lose one of the, one of the chambers, they'd lose,
10:17
Speaker 1: probably the House, but they'd keep the Senate, this and that.
10:20
Speaker 1: When you have, this is a telltale sign, by the way.
10:23
Speaker 1: This is something I've picked up along the way, talking
10:25
Speaker 1: about this stuff for so long. When you have a
10:27
Speaker 1: president like Trump campaigning in places like, he went to
10:30
Speaker 1: Kansas and South Carolina and Missouri. He left it all
10:35
Speaker 1: in the field, he said, so he did what he
10:37
Speaker 1: could do to try to put this thing over the top.
10:39
Speaker 1: But when he goes to those places, that's a bad
10:42
Speaker 1: sign for that team. What do I mean by that?
10:46
Speaker 1: When he was running for president most recently, he went
10:50
Speaker 1: to California and went to New York and went to Michigan, right,
10:54
Speaker 1: where they thought they had a shot. When you have
10:56
Speaker 1: somebody like Trump campaigning in Kansas and South Carolina, that
11:02
Speaker 1: was a bad sign, and they knew it. That means
11:04
Speaker 1: they were desperate to hold on to those places, and
11:06
Speaker 1: in most cases they didn't. All right, what happens from
11:10
Speaker 1: here on out? We'll get to the really scary stuff
11:12
Speaker 1: in a second, but I've got to play this, something that,
11:14
Speaker 1: you know, this goes to, speaking to the gloomers and
11:17
Speaker 1: doomers and all this other stuff. America's over. Trump's not
11:20
Speaker 1: going to be able to do anything. And it's just, well,
11:22
Speaker 1: we'll get to the overreaction from the blue team here
11:25
Speaker 1: in a second. But I've talked about this guy before,
11:28
Speaker 1: Victor Davis Hanson. This guy's amazing. And this was before
11:32
Speaker 1: the midterms were decided last night. And he talked about
11:35
Speaker 1: what happens if Trump does lose both of these chambers.
11:38
Speaker 1: What does he do? Brought up an amazing example. And
11:41
Speaker 1: we may have forgotten about this whole thing. The example's
11:43
Speaker 1: already been set. Let's go back in the time machine
11:45
Speaker 1: to 2010. Obama lost, and he called it, in Obama's
11:48
Speaker 1: own words, he said in his midterms, that was a shellacking.
11:52
Speaker 1: And he didn't care. Because you know what he said?
11:55
Speaker 1: Obama said, this was a famous quote, I still got
11:57
Speaker 1: a pen, and I still got a phone. I got
12:00
Speaker 1: a pen and a phone. And he pretty much ignored Congress,
12:02
Speaker 1: and he got his agenda done anyway. And then he
12:04
Speaker 1: won again in 2012. So that can show you. Victor
12:08
Speaker 1: Davis Hanson said as much. This guy, I'm telling you,
12:10
Speaker 1: if you don't follow him, he's brilliant.
12:12
Speaker 4: His favorability soared. What am I getting at? We don't
12:16
Speaker 4: know really who's going to win the midterms. Democrats should,
12:19
Speaker 4: but there's enough known unknowns that maybe they won't. And
12:23
Speaker 4: if Trump should lose the Congress, Obama and Clinton have
12:27
Speaker 4: set a precedent that a president really does have powers
12:30
Speaker 4: that cannot be checked by Congress.
12:33
Speaker 1: He's right, and that's what's going to happen. So here's
12:35
Speaker 1: what you can expect. I'll start with the red side
12:39
Speaker 1: at first, the Trump side. Here's what you can expect,
12:41
Speaker 1: what we all can expect, and then we'll decide how
12:43
Speaker 1: we're going to react to it. You might as well
12:46
Speaker 1: replace the red Make America Great Again hats with one
12:51
Speaker 1: that just says veto, because it is going to be
12:54
Speaker 1: a veto machine out of the White House, I think.
12:57
Speaker 1: That's my prediction, you know, if I know anything. Because, because...
13:03
Speaker 1: I think what's coming with the Democrats is going to
13:05
Speaker 1: be such an overreaction. I think they're so overconfident in
13:09
Speaker 1: what happened last night already, before it was even completely
13:13
Speaker 1: decided at the end of last night. They're so overconfident
13:16
Speaker 1: in what they're going to do. They're looking at this
13:18
Speaker 1: lack of enthusiasm on the red team side as a mandate.
13:22
Speaker 1: And I think, I don't know, I think they're wrong.
13:26
Speaker 1: So they think now they're empowered to do everything they
13:28
Speaker 1: ever wanted to do, mostly with lawfare. Here's Ted Cruz.
13:33
Speaker 1: This is, again, a few days ago before the midterms
13:35
Speaker 1: were decided. Here's his dark prediction of what's going to happen.
13:38
Speaker 1: This is why I think it's going to be a
13:40
Speaker 1: veto tsunami coming out of 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue here pretty soon.
13:45
Speaker 1: Here's Ted.
13:46
Speaker 5: I think Schumer and the Democrats will just halt all judges,
13:49
Speaker 5: which means if we have a Supreme Court vacancy, I
13:52
Speaker 5: think they'll keep the vacancy open for two years. I
13:54
Speaker 5: don't think they care because their base is that radicalized.
13:58
Speaker 5: I think we will also see Two years of relentless impeachment.
14:04
Speaker 5: I believe the House will impeach Donald Trump if they
14:07
Speaker 5: have the House. They may impeach him multiple times.
14:10
Speaker 1: Yeah.
14:11
Speaker 5: Yeah.
14:12
Speaker 1: Well, I mean, that's. Oh, and you may be sitting
14:14
Speaker 1: there thinking, oh, come on, it's too early to be
14:16
Speaker 1: saying that thing. And again, he said this a couple
14:17
Speaker 1: of days ago. Is it too early? Really? Let me
14:19
Speaker 1: bring it back to last night. And it's important for
14:21
Speaker 1: context to understand this was before. The House. or Senate
14:28
Speaker 1: were actually decided. It was just projected to win for
14:30
Speaker 1: the Democrats, okay? Projected to win. This was from early
14:34
Speaker 1: last night. This is Representative Robert Garcia. He's a Democrat
14:39
Speaker 1: from California. What did he post on X last night
14:43
Speaker 1: before the House or Senate were decided? Lawyer up. What
14:50
Speaker 1: a jackass. I mean, honest to God, that's what, I
14:53
Speaker 1: don't care if you're a Democrat or a Republican or independent.
14:56
Speaker 1: I don't care for any politician before anything is decided
14:59
Speaker 1: to say lawyer up like that's what the American people want.
15:02
Speaker 1: But that's what I think is coming. Not only the
15:05
Speaker 1: lawfare we're going to see. That's the overconfidence, I think,
15:08
Speaker 1: in my opinion, is coming from the Democrats. We go
15:11
Speaker 1: back to the original question. OK. How are Americans going
15:15
Speaker 1: to react to that? And I don't think well now.
15:19
Speaker 1: kind of already established here that regular, everyday Americans have
15:22
Speaker 1: such a short-term memory. We just do. It's a matter
15:26
Speaker 1: of fact now. We just do. In a disposable society,
15:29
Speaker 1: we think about right now and that's it. But there's
15:32
Speaker 1: one thing that especially independents never forget. One thing. Lawfare.
15:37
Speaker 1: Because who is an independent? Mostly people who are afraid
15:40
Speaker 1: of tyrants and if most likely been a victim of
15:44
Speaker 1: some kind of lawfare somewhere there was a study done
15:46
Speaker 1: a few years ago that people that become political independents
15:49
Speaker 1: that don't join a party they've been unfairly treated by
15:52
Speaker 1: some sort of some sort of establishment that's a fact
15:56
Speaker 1: you know we know that the democrats are going to
15:59
Speaker 1: overreach for the next two years they're going to go
16:02
Speaker 1: bananas mostly will be vetoed we know that but they're
16:05
Speaker 1: going to overreach and that now you have americans reacting
16:09
Speaker 1: to something And that may be a fatal mistake for
16:11
Speaker 1: the Democrats. That's why the people who say America's over,
16:14
Speaker 1: I don't know about that. Because look to see how
16:17
Speaker 1: Americans react to how the Democrats get overconfident about last night.
16:22
Speaker 1: Another point on this is from Laura Ingram last night.
16:24
Speaker 1: She made a couple of them, actually. Not a fan
16:26
Speaker 1: of her personally, but she made some good points. And
16:28
Speaker 1: she talks in here about her conversation with President Trump.
16:32
Speaker 1: He's acknowledging now, we heard the phone call about Iran,
16:35
Speaker 1: and that pretty much sunk his agenda for the midterms.
16:39
Speaker 1: But does he regret it? Nope. Here's what else.
16:41
Speaker 3: The idea that the Democrats could very well misread any
16:44
Speaker 3: mandate that comes out of tonight.
16:47
Speaker 1: It's likely, right?
16:48
Speaker 3: There's no sense in anything that we're seeing so far
16:50
Speaker 3: that the country is going to embrace trans rights, court packing,
16:53
Speaker 3: open borders, abolishing ICE, wealth taxes, diminishing Second Amendment rights.
17:00
Speaker 3: That is a real misread of what may happen tonight. That,
17:03
Speaker 3: I think— They will do, however. That's a big mistake
17:07
Speaker 3: on their part. I think Trump's hurdle is the Iran conflict,
17:12
Speaker 3: high gas prices, high food prices.
17:14
Speaker 1: That's really it.
17:15
Speaker 3: And Trump decided, and I asked him this in an
17:17
Speaker 3: interview last time I interviewed him, if you lose your
17:20
Speaker 3: entire majority as a result of what looks like high prices,
17:25
Speaker 3: will the Iran conflict, as far as gas, be worth it?
17:27
Speaker 3: He said, I wouldn't change a thing. I'm not in
17:30
Speaker 3: the business.
17:31
Speaker 5: True.
17:32
Speaker 1: And doesn't that go back to what we asked originally
17:33
Speaker 1: there in the introduction? Isn't that it? It's the big
17:36
Speaker 1: picture stuff that he got done. You can even talk
17:39
Speaker 1: about the economy or Iran or the future things that
17:41
Speaker 1: will make life better versus right now. I don't think,
17:45
Speaker 1: I'm not admonishing other people, but I'm telling you, wrap
17:48
Speaker 1: your head around this and understand it and things get
17:50
Speaker 1: better in your life. We are literally so short-focused now.
17:56
Speaker 1: I truly, truly believe that people vote, however they vote,
17:59
Speaker 1: how they feel in that moment. It's like you're going
18:00
Speaker 1: into a ballot box and you're like, I love that
18:06
Speaker 1: the border was closed, but gas prices were high. Going Democrat.
18:09
Speaker 1: I know that's an exaggeration, but it's not hyperbole. I
18:12
Speaker 1: think that's how people vote. I truly believe that. I
18:15
Speaker 1: really do. Look how people react. Is it an overreaction?
18:22
Speaker 1: Look what happens for the next two years with the
18:24
Speaker 1: constant lawfare that's coming, which will be vetoed. and how
18:29
Speaker 1: Americans react to that. That's one thing we don't forget,
18:31
Speaker 1: is how they treat, because we've all faced that kind
18:34
Speaker 1: of stuff before.
18:35
Speaker 2: I don't know.
18:36
Speaker 1: We'll see. We'll see what happens. Florida was different. Why
18:40
Speaker 1: did Florida win? First of all, Florida counts its votes
18:42
Speaker 1: like this. That's fixed. And this Amendment 3, you may
18:45
Speaker 1: not be aware of, Amendment 3 to make sure that
18:47
Speaker 1: your property taxes don't get raised, or at least they're
18:50
Speaker 1: going to be lower. Affordability. And that messaging went out
18:54
Speaker 1: a year ago from DeSantis' team And it won. And
18:58
Speaker 1: it was a clean sweep for Florida. What's the difference? Messaging.
19:01
Speaker 1: That was it. And you talked about people's pocketbooks. That's
19:04
Speaker 1: what won. It's not that tough. Why these so-called leaders
19:10
Speaker 1: over there in the red team don't get it?
19:11
Speaker 5: I don't know.
19:11
Speaker 1: I'll never understand it. Maybe they don't want to get it.
19:15
Speaker 1: One other takeaway. This goes again to the gloomers and
19:18
Speaker 1: doomers saying America's over. If you're a red team fan
19:22
Speaker 1: on that side of things, I would say that's not
19:25
Speaker 1: true at all because it's so much easier to run
19:27
Speaker 1: against something. So they're going to run against all this
19:29
Speaker 1: lawfare and nonsense and ridiculous policies and not common sense
19:36
Speaker 1: stuff we're about to see for the next two years.
19:38
Speaker 1: Now they have something to run against and they didn't before.
19:40
Speaker 1: Can they figure out messaging? I have no idea. Who knows?
19:43
Speaker 1: But that's the takeaway. It's never as good or as
19:46
Speaker 1: bad in these things as the initial reactions are. And
19:50
Speaker 1: if you want to understand where Americans are, look to
19:53
Speaker 1: see how normal people react to this stuff from last night.
19:57
Speaker 1: But you shouldn't be surprised. All the signs were there,
20:01
Speaker 1: I think, anyway. All right. Less politics going forward, I hope.
20:05
