Casey and Rhett are back in the office, and this time, they re joined by a special guest, Steven! Listen to find out who it is, and what he s up to. Also, guess who gets to sit back at the desk again?
00:05:00.000We got this for the Halloween Spooktacular for next week, which we should probably announce for one of the costumes, but I was like, you know what, we have it, we should use it.
00:05:07.000Yeah, well, Monday, so everybody's going to be in costumes for Monday.
00:05:10.000The Spooktacular, sometimes we've done those live in the past, we're not doing a live, but we're doing our normal live show here, but it's not going to be normal in that we'll have costumes on.
00:05:18.000I fear costumes when it comes to this place because of things like that.
00:05:22.000We don't tell you what we're going to do.
00:05:26.000It's a Christian reference, it just means that God promised he wouldn't destroy the world by water again, but it was hijacked, so whatever.
00:05:32.000Yeah, that's what it's the amazing Technicolor... Anyway, that was the true meaning behind it.
00:05:40.000Listen, I'm gonna go with the original meaning, okay?
00:05:43.000We're gonna get to some fun stories today, and, you know, first off, we're in San Francisco, they're spending a whole lot of money on a toilet that's probably just going to be crapped on the floor.
00:07:06.000Republicans are doing very well, despite what Democrats tried to do throughout the month of September and really leading up to the past couple of weeks.
00:07:13.000And then Mug Club, we're going to get into the media ignoring And we've talked about this before.
00:07:18.000There seems to be a bit of a double standard.
00:07:20.000But before we get going, tell us, what is your prediction?
00:08:49.000I think there might be, I think we might have released some, Dave, did we release comps in the first, there might be like 30 tickets in the first show, but they're singles.
00:08:55.000I mean, if you're feeling lucky, try for the first show.
00:08:58.000We released some comps, but there's not much left for the late either though, so I'd get on it if I were you.
00:13:15.000And they clearly, like, didn't, she wasn't planning on jumping in the cake, or at least the stage handlers.
00:13:20.000Yeah, and she jumps face first and her head just That's hilarious And then she can't get off the stage, she tries to stand up, but you know, she's on Queer Street, so she tries to stand up, she falls, and she's covered in frosting, and she tries to stand up again and she falls, so she's so defeated and she just crawled off stage.
00:13:36.000It's like, it's a fake cake, why would it be a real cake?
00:15:03.000Wow, that is... These people want to convert us to a high-speed rail.
00:15:10.000Yeah, that's just... You need two and a half years, call it, minus any construction delays, because we know this isn't going to be a smooth process in San Francisco to build a toilet.
00:15:21.000Just to see what homeless person's gonna squat in it.
00:15:28.000By the way, just for comparison, the Empire State Building only took one year and 45 days to build.
00:15:34.000The Empire State Building, which included more than one restroom in the building, just to be clear.
00:15:41.000Also had like a casualty rate of 1,900 with guys with lunchboxes on beams.
00:15:45.000But we got a lot of really cool pictures that we could put on the wall, like where guys are like sitting there, we're like, oh, that looks like a fun job.
00:16:04.000They have to send in a new construction worker, a new plumber, because the next one comes out looking like Hellraiser with just syringes in his head.
00:16:50.000Well, I think what they were going for, Dave, and that's a fair point, is that they were trying to be a little bit more like Portland's toilets.
00:18:07.000By the way, I used to love San Francisco.
00:18:09.000I would travel there to go to Wine Country.
00:18:10.000I'd always fly into the airport, SFO, get there at about 9 o'clock in the morning, go up to a couple of different spots, grab some sandwiches or something, go and sit and look at the Golden Gate Bridge, and now I'd just be dead.
00:18:19.000By that point, I would be dead because somebody would have killed me at several of those stops.
00:18:23.000Well now, thanks to Pfizer, thousands have left their heart in San Francisco.
00:18:26.000Also, I don't like sitting on toilets of feces.
00:19:21.000I don't know why they invite him on The View.
00:19:22.000These cackling, hippie people just want to have somebody on that they disagree with so that they can yell at him.
00:19:28.000And as is typically the case, Anna Navarro lets us know that she's a former Republican.
00:19:33.000And it went just about like you would expect it to go.
00:19:37.000I read the chapter and as someone who agreed with you most of your career, how do you reconcile your constitutional convictions with what happened on January 6th and trying to overturn the election when 60 court cases got knocked down?
00:19:47.000There are a lot of folks in the media that try to, anytime a Republican is in front of a TV camera, try to say the election was fair and square and legitimate.
00:21:25.000Also she should have done it that night and she locked herself inside so the fact that they're acting like she had integrity about it is completely nonsense.
00:21:32.000She didn't even go out and give her concession speech.
00:21:36.000The interns were crying and we were kind of laughing about all of this.
00:21:38.000I remember doing a live stream and I'm like, I don't normally laugh at somebody else's misfortune but in this case I'm absolutely making an exception because you guys thought this was a coronation and it wasn't.
00:21:48.000Make sure you hit the like button like Stephen said just a minute ago.
00:21:50.000Hit the like button if you are having a good time with us.
00:21:53.000It also pisses off YouTube and it for no other reason than that.
00:22:10.000It's not which points can you make, it's making the strongest point and letting it sit.
00:22:14.000Because Whoopi Goldberg can't handle it.
00:22:15.000You heard her, she's like, well, when you said what I said something about how that was something, but what I'm saying is... You're not, you're retarded.
00:22:24.000Well, the argument, though, is always going to go back to him on race, though.
00:22:27.000So you say BLM, it gives her an immediate trump card for that entire studio.
00:22:32.000I think that's why he went with Antifa.
00:22:33.000Well, no, but I agree, but I would say, please, I'll play Three or four moves down the road.
00:22:37.000Please come back at me with BLM being a legitimate organization.
00:22:40.000Oh, you mean BLM that's founder bought houses with the money instead of actually using it to help out the cause that she was supposed to be representing?
00:22:47.000Like, I would have just been ready to hit that right in the face.
00:22:58.000Well, the left is always going to argue that Ted Cruz is wrong in bringing up the riots because they had nothing to do with the elections, right?
00:23:05.000Of course the Antifa riots had nothing to do with the elections.
00:23:08.000Rioting, burning cities down, threatening political retribution, having politicians threaten people and say they shouldn't be out of the streets.
00:23:16.000That's not in any way, shape, or form trying to impact future elections or current people in the White House.
00:25:04.000And they found him like a bitch in Bolivia with an entirely loaded gun that had never been fired, saying, I'm worth more to you alive than dead.
00:25:10.000And I'm pretty sure they killed him anyway.
00:27:23.000I want him to win because he's a Republican, but he's got some problems.
00:27:26.000And we're going to talk about some of these candidates aren't necessarily the strongest people that we would say we would want to have.
00:27:32.000But when it comes down to choosing between a Republican, even though a flawed candidate, and a Democrat who is going to push policies that the left loves, like abortion up to and including birth, sometimes you got to hold your nose and pull the lever for the Republican because at least they believe in your right to freedom.
00:27:46.000Okay, so they're right around the corner and the Democrats are, I think, because every single show is talking about this and everyone is panicking, I think they're getting a little nervous.
00:28:27.000This is the average of the generic ballot right now, and you can see the Republicans with a lead here.
00:28:32.000That is a 2.2 point lead for Republicans.
00:28:35.000Now, that's close, generally speaking, but we were here a week ago, taking you through the generic ballot, and a week ago, this number was inside of one point.
00:28:43.000You had that inflation news over the last week, certainly didn't help the Democrats, and it does seem that as the economy moves to center stage, Republicans are improving their chances here.
00:28:52.000So one thing that I'm very happy about is that the Democrats have failed to make abortion the top priority, like we saw.
00:28:58.000So one of our concerns, we wanted Roe v. Wade to be overturned.
00:29:00.000We thought it should go back to the states, and we thought more reasonable rules and regulations for abortion, pretty much getting rid of it in most cases, was what was necessary, but we also knew that we may take a hit in the elections because of it.
00:31:42.000It was actually 15% when I was being raised.
00:31:44.000So it really is a weak argument, but I have heard from a lot of people saying, well, how do we debunk this?
00:31:48.000It's always higher in Europe, and they've both gone up.
00:31:51.000Yeah, those are the easy things to debunk and you can say right now too, well it's interesting that you chose to go with European Union and you chose Britain and you chose the UK.
00:31:59.000Japan right now, so if we focus on kind of these East Asian democracies, Japan has 3%.
00:32:28.000I'm not saying it is, but just for the sake of argument.
00:32:30.000You're telling me that your energy policies have helped curb inflation by making gas prices higher, by making oil go up in price, by not tapping into natural resources that we currently have here.
00:32:39.000You're telling me right now that it's okay to just throw more money on the fire to solve inflation?
00:32:45.000Isn't that typically what leads to more inflation, is government spending?
00:33:45.000Japan right now, I don't know if you've seen there, I'm sure Ginger Snap knows this, it's the biggest building up of an arsenal, really, since World War II.
00:33:52.000Well, North Korea's flexing their muscle right now, China's flexing their muscle with Taiwan, and Japan is basically like, okay, we hope everybody comes to our aid, because if this happens, especially on both fronts, this is gonna be a major problem.
00:34:01.000If we keep shooting nukes into the water, though, we're gonna make some monsters.
00:35:59.000You don't just shut down at the outset, and then when it's, you know, politically convenient for you, you want to open back up to score political points.
00:38:22.00012 and 10, 11, that sounds a little bit worse, but it's actually what's happening, and it's a middle point.
00:38:26.000They want five-year-olds to be able to have some of these things start to take place, changing your pronouns, which we just heard from the NIH is a really bad thing to do, right?
00:38:35.000Well, a five-year-old getting messed up.
00:38:47.000One thing that I did see, though, that I wanted our researchers to pull, and they did, was this clip has been going around, mostly from NBC News, because Chris was asking DeSantis if he was going to stick around for all four years.
00:38:58.000And I just want to say something at the outset of this.
00:39:01.000That is one of the most insane questions that I've ever heard.
00:39:03.000Because, Chris, I guarantee you right now, if somebody came to you and said, hey, Joe Biden's not going to run, would you like to be the Democratic nominee for President of the United States and you were still in this race?
00:39:59.000Why don't you look in the eyes of the people of the state of Florida and say to them, if you're re-elected, you will serve a full four-year term as governor.
00:40:47.000He waited for that, but every single clip that you saw in the media cut when he was standing there and not answering in an awkward silence kind of moment.
00:40:55.000And by the way, just in case you thought Charlie Curse was actually serious and genuine in saying that you should stay for the full term of governor when you're elected, he ran for the Senate while he was governor in 2009.
00:41:05.000So that would have been a very helpful piece of information.
00:41:07.000And that's because he believed he was going to lose, by the way.
00:41:09.000He's like, I need to find my next gig so that I don't get out of government work.
00:41:38.000He pivoted to issues that people care about.
00:41:40.000He didn't need to jump down there with him because, of course, that was just going to be distraction from what he really wanted to talk about.
00:41:47.000And this is something, too, that I think a lot of people, they go, two-party system, and you really are, you do have to understand, especially in a place like Florida, you are voting the platform.
00:41:56.000Now, neither platform is perfect, but you don't want a parliamentary system, for example, like in Canada, where you can win the Prime Minister's office with only 30-something percent of the vote.
00:42:05.000And the platform right now is Crist versus Ron DeSantis, the platform of abortion up until and including birth period, the platform of locking everything down, the platform of increased taxes, right?
00:42:14.000The platform of civil unrest versus DeSantis.
00:42:17.000And people, if they're electing him, look, if he is called up to run for president, people are electing his judgment and he will decide who will be filling in his spot.
00:42:26.000No, I think, look, I think it's a good point.
00:42:28.000I don't know how it works in Florida if the lieutenant governor becomes governor, if they have a special election or anything.
00:42:57.000Hit the like button if that's what you would like to see for Charlie Crist, and make sure it's... We need, like, a more manly... I'd like it, but it needs to be, like, the... More manly?
00:43:06.000A little bit more of a smash kind of thing.
00:44:39.000And they're saying, you know, it's the wrong decision.
00:44:42.000President Biden's former 2020 co-chair said, I would debate and I would want the people of Arizona to know what my platform is.
00:44:50.000If you think she's as dangerous as you're saying to Democracy, is it your responsibility as a candidate who wants to run Arizona to show and explain who their alternative is?
00:45:01.000That is exactly what I'm doing right now and there is a lot more ability to have a conversation with you without her interruptions and shouting to do that.
00:45:13.000Um, I thought that when I came on this network that you were going to support me and say that everything that I did was fantastic, but you're asking me tough questions and I don't think I can handle that.
00:45:28.000Especially when combined with my abnormally small mouth.
00:45:34.000And look, I don't know a whole lot about her other than she's a Democrat, which is basically all that I need to know about her when she's running for governor in Arizona.
00:46:16.000Just heard Republican Ryan Costello said it would be difficult for Stacey Abrams to win because she lost her state bid, but yet she's still claiming she never lost.
00:46:26.000Hillary Clinton, Trump is an illegitimate president.
00:46:50.000Okay, so your kids are watching right now.
00:46:52.000I know that you are already planning to do that, but when I told you in the interview, make sure you point out that.
00:46:57.000I'm just going to take like 0.0001% credit for that because that is what I've been waiting for.
00:47:03.000Somebody to just come out and be like, oh, election deniers.
00:47:05.000We talked about what is it, Kill Chain was the movie on a documentary on HBO in 2018, I believe, with all of the Democratic people saying that with Hillary Clinton denying the election that Ted Cruz They specifically said that Dominion voting machines are easily hackable.
00:47:24.000And right now, we may actually have it down here so I don't want to hit it, but they're doing it again.
00:47:28.000Democrats are actually kind of seeding the ground a little bit, telling you that this is going to be a problem.
00:47:32.000But look, it's not just that Carrie Lake is doing well in the polls, it's not just that she is doing a fantastic job destroying the lives of the left.
00:47:41.000The enthusiasm gap right now is something that is massive, right?
00:47:44.000And so, just take a look, when you guys were introduced at the show, Stephen and Dave, when you guys were in, what was it, Phoenix, Arizona?
00:47:49.000Yeah, it was like 5,000 people we mentioned.
00:47:51.000Just look at the audience reaction to that.
00:47:52.000We have Kerry Link, I think, here, future governor of Arizona!
00:48:15.000Knowing that that was probably going to be used against her.
00:48:18.000No, when we went to Phoenix, I don't know if Dave saw this, I was in the hotel room watching Casino for like the 15th time because it was an AMC, and I saw attack ads against Carrie Lake, and I was in them.
00:48:48.000Specifically the one with the FBI and Carey Lake.
00:48:51.000Look, I know Kerry is doing a fantastic job, but she's also helping people down-ballot as well, especially in her state, right?
00:48:57.000So you've got Blake Masters, who has surged recently in the polls against Democrat Mark Kelly.
00:49:03.000They're doing a fantastic job with undecided voters, older voters, and women.
00:49:07.000They've all moved towards Masters in the recent days.
00:49:10.000And again, it's no wonder when you have somebody like that at the top of the ticket for your state, just kind of electrifying the base a little bit.
00:49:38.000It's people who are actually willing to stand for their convictions.
00:49:42.000I mean, and I will say this with Kerry Lake.
00:49:43.000We spent some time with her there in Phoenix.
00:49:44.000Like, Carrie Lake, when people say, oh, she was a Democrat, she was incredibly anti-war, and we were dealing with in the wake of George W. Bush.
00:50:03.000Doesn't mean you have to be bombastic.
00:50:05.000Doesn't mean that you're undisciplined.
00:50:06.000She's disciplined, but she's also raw in the best of ways.
00:50:10.000Yeah, she's very honest, right, and it's easy to just be honest and go out and speak to the media, but she has good media skills as well, which is, I mean, obviously, I mean, this is obvious.
00:50:19.000It's incredibly important to have in this day and age, but Donald Trump had that too.
00:50:23.000Donald Trump was so at ease with the media and just kind of pushing their lies, and if he didn't know how to do that, he would just make fun of them, which was also fun.
00:50:40.000So these are examples of people who do, and you see when they know how to prepare, when they know the arguments from the left, from people in the media, but I repeat myself, before they're made, they're able to be effective.
00:50:49.000It is a blueprint on how the Republican Party needs to move forward.
00:50:53.000It's strong conservatives who stand by their convictions and will speak directly to the people.
00:54:54.000Well, it's kind of a new, old trick that she's pulling.
00:54:58.000She's saying that a Republican, by God, is racist.
00:55:02.000I've never heard that argument before, but it's a new one that the left is using against Republicans, and that he has racist policies that are meant to keep her voters from being able to vote, and that he's suppressing all of the voters that would absolutely turn out and make her win, and it's unfair what he's doing.
00:55:18.000The current governor said it in his primary debate.
00:55:21.000He said that the election was free and fair.
00:55:23.000He also said he was frustrated by the results, and that's what led him to pass laws to make it more difficult to vote absentee, made it more difficult to use drop boxes.
00:55:32.000For people who have on-call schedules, for folks who can't get somewhere from 9 to 5, they now have a much more difficult time.
00:55:39.0001.9 million Georgians will be affected.
00:55:41.000He said that that's why he cut off funding.
00:55:44.000He won't allow the county elections officials to seek outside money to shore up the lack of money
00:59:04.000Well, I mean, we get so much stuff in the mail, and the mail is so easy to rely on to make sure things actually get delivered on time, right?
00:59:11.000We don't have any problems with stuff getting lost in the mail.
00:59:13.000They've done study after study on mail-in voting, and they show that it actually undercounts the vote, because there are so many that are done either late, they're done inappropriately, and so they're not counted as votes or they're lost in the mail one way or the
00:59:24.000other going to them or actually coming back except in 2020 where every single
00:59:28.000vote counted except for and look free and fair election guys right the results
00:59:33.000in Georgia were 100% 110 the most inaccurate right it's the most accurate we've
01:00:10.000Look, in the Senate race, Herschel Walker is actually...
01:00:13.000For all of his faults, Hershel Walker is actually statistically tied with Warnock, right?
01:00:18.000And remember, Warnock's victory—and Donald Trump did a lot to make this happen.
01:00:23.000I think he pushed so hard that people kind of went Democrat when maybe they wouldn't have.
01:00:28.000His victory in the 2020 runoff election was what ended up giving the Democrats the Senate and gave them the opportunity to, you know, create hell all around you throughout the country.
01:00:38.000But we're doing our best to take it back.
01:00:39.000And in Pennsylvania, the latest Insider Advantage poll has Dr. Oz Tied with Jon Fetterman, and that's that's pretty significant because he was down by 13 points.
01:00:50.000How many assholes can you fit in a room?
01:00:55.000I don't know who anybody... I mean, he's had some... he's also been on the wrong side of transitioning, you know, young people to, like, he's... It's, you know, you are picking the lesser of two evils, but... You are.
01:02:47.000This guy's got a legitimate reason that he might have some difficulty talking and people just kind of nod and go along with him.
01:02:53.000I know you're going to get some more important winning arguments because I will say this, as someone who's had several people in my close circle who've had strokes, I don't know that it's a winning argument to say he's unfit because of the stroke because he could have largely auditory processing issues.
01:03:09.000I don't think he's completely out of it.
01:03:11.000I don't necessarily know from what I see that he's brain damaged.
01:03:13.000I know that he has a problem with that signaling from his brain to his mouth, but I've seen people who are stroke victims who actually— Come back.
01:03:19.000Well, yeah, who've come back, and I've also seen people who weren't able to.
01:03:22.000So, if you think it's a strong argument today, it could be taken off the table if he recovers in a couple of months.
01:03:27.000It's relevant, but it shouldn't be the main argument.
01:03:29.000Exactly, because when he isn't having a problem getting his thoughts to go to his brain to talk, which I know is a big issue, they're bad.
01:03:37.000His policies are bad when they come out and make sense.
01:03:40.000That's the problem that we have, right?
01:03:42.000He advocated for eliminating cash bail and also for releasing murderers.
01:03:48.000I think he's also the guy who went and vandalized, what was it, a restaurant or a store where he kicked down the sign or something like that?
01:04:10.000He's gonna leave his wife for date-avantees.
01:04:13.000Well, and unlikable Dr. Oz addressed Fetterman's comments, soaked his record pretty well last week on crime.
01:04:21.000The First Step Act had nothing to do with convicted murderers being released from prison, especially after they've been sentenced to life in prison.
01:04:39.000He actually said it would be codifying Roe v. Wade and abolishing the filibuster.
01:04:44.000Well, he's actually the way I just described it in the past as well.
01:04:47.000And too often, John Fetterman seems to pay more attention to the feelings of the criminals than the innocent who were hurt.
01:04:53.000So he's changed his mind is what you're saying.
01:04:55.000So basically, whatever direction the political winds are blowing is what his answer is going to be when you ask him, what is the one problem that you would solve?
01:05:03.000That's essentially what she just said.
01:05:05.000And by the way, abolishing the filibuster, you think that's a good idea?
01:05:09.000You think codifying Roe v. Wade is a good idea against the wishes of people in states across the country?
01:05:14.000You think it's okay to take that back even though the Supreme Court says, nope, we can't do it, this decision was inaccurate?
01:05:20.000And I think the voters agree with me in places that you would be surprised, right?
01:05:25.000Of all of the states, other than maybe New York and California, of all of the states that you think would be pretty solidly Democrat and not turn, this one is one of the biggest surprises, Oregon.
01:05:36.000The news for Republicans in Oregon is fantastic and Christine Drazen has a real shot to become the next governor of Oregon.
01:05:45.000And I know a lot of us don't pay attention to Oregon.
01:05:46.000What do they have, like five electoral votes?
01:05:48.000I mean, maybe three now because people are leaving.
01:06:23.000So hopefully Christine Drazen is going to become the next governor of Oregon.
01:06:25.000And for those of you who don't care about Oregon politics or don't know Oregon politics, there hasn't been a Republican governor in 40 years.
01:06:33.000I think a senator in like in about 20.
01:06:35.000Yeah, senator in 20 years or state Senate.
01:06:41.000But it's been 20 years since anything really significant for Republicans has happened in Oregon and Oregon's policies.
01:06:47.000I don't remember exactly where Portland is, but yeah, it's in Oregon.
01:06:51.000It's one of the crappy, like when we refer to cities that Democrat policies have destroyed, it's San Francisco and Portland.
01:06:57.000Not usually Seattle, though sometimes that happens for obvious reasons, but Oregon is known, like I just hired a guy from Oregon and I can't say what his name is.
01:08:09.000People lived through the policies of these parties and they're voting against it now.
01:08:13.000We have other states and other cities that need to do that around the country with some of the water issues we've seen in Jackson, Mississippi, I know in Michigan and Flint having issues there.
01:08:21.000These are Democrat-run strongholds that they need to go, oh, your policies suck and we end up paying the price every single time for it.
01:08:28.000Somebody who won't, Nike founder Phil Knight, he donated a million dollars to Drazen earlier this month, and when he was questioned how he could support an anti-abortion candidate, as the founder of Nike, he said, Nike has good leadership.
01:08:41.000They make choices, whatever they want, but I think I'm more conservative than Nike.
01:09:38.000You know what, it's almost unbelievable that the store that that person is taking a dump in has a sign that says, for lease, in front of it, and there's not an actual business.
01:09:46.000It's because when Democrats rule these places, everybody who lives there suffers, they pay more in taxes, they have fewer protection from the police, because crime is rampant, and the police, no matter how well-funded you make them, unless you make them a military state, cannot possibly take care of every single problem that these people create, right?
01:10:03.000And it's no wonder that Kate Brown Is the least popular governor in the country.
01:10:07.000She's the incumbent that's running the incumbent governor in Oregon.
01:10:11.000Well, we should have invested in tents.
01:11:54.000And I think what we're seeing too, and this is the final point and we'll go out on this, Hillary Clinton's now out there saying that the elections are being stolen by Republican governors who are putting in place, because the Supreme Court is about to rule on something, saying that the governors of the state or the state legislatures, if there's a problem with their slate of electors, they can handle that at the state level.
01:12:13.000They can remedy that problem themselves before they send the electors to Washington to vote, and she's saying that that is stealing the election.
01:12:22.000So Hillary Clinton's out there saying that the election is going to be stolen before we actually have any elections, and she's talking about 2024.
01:12:30.000So she's just setting the stage, but nobody can trust the election.
