Buck’s Deep Dive into Tuesday’s Election Results

BUCK: Let’s dive into the election last night and what we can take from some of these victories. First of all, Eric Schmitt has handily beaten — in the primary for the governor’s race there — ex-Missouri governor Eric Greitens for the U.S. Senate seat there. So, Schmitt has beaten ex-Missouri governor Eric Greitens for that Senate seat in that primary. And that’s interesting, especially because in recent days you may have seen Trump’s team put out… There are a lot of Trump endorsements. We can discuss how that’s gone.

It seems the Trump endorsement is still certainly very potent in a lot of these races. But they put out a statement saying that Trump effectively supports “Eric.” I mean that. They just said “Eric” in the official statement and then everything was saying is it Eric Schmitt or Eric Greitens? Trolling, comedy, whatever you want to call it. It turns out Eric Schmitt won; so, congratulations to him. A very big win for Tudor Dixon in the GOP primary for the governor’s race in Michigan against Gretchen Whitmer. This one I’m gonna be watching eagerly.

Remember, there’s gonna be races going on; we got a huge midterm all over the country. We’re gonna focus in on the ones that are the most important at the national level or that highlight some issue that is important, I think, beyond just the political realities of one district or one region of a state. Gretchen Whitmer, after Cuomo and Newsom, I think you’d have to say was the single… Let’s say third. She was the third most vociferous lockdown proponent of any of the governors, right? I feel like it was — Fauci was at the top of the authoritarian covid pyramid, and then you had Cuomo — (impression) “No longer governuh” — and Gavin Newsom of California.

And they were in a little bit of a contest to see who could do the most pointless covid theater, and they kept doing it, of course. And then you had I think Gretchen Whitmer right below that. Let’s all recall, Gretchen Whitmer used to do TV hits with a embroidered Fauci pillow behind her specifically placed in her cable news shot where she was going, “Oh, yeah, we’re just gonna triple mask your kids and we’re gonna just shut down everything. I’m gonna keep you safe and…” It didn’t work. It was pointless. But she had a Fauci pillow that she kept right there in the shot, a little shrine to Fauci, to tiny Fauci.

What else do you really have to know? Whatever I can do, whatever Clay and I can do — he’s up in Michigan right now — to help Tudor Dixon defeat Gretchen Whitmer in that Michigan gubernatorial race, you could count me in. She needs… Whitmer needs to go. She needs to be out of that office. She needs to pay the price for her covid lunacy, her lack of courage, her poor decision-making, and the immiseration of so many people in her state for no good reason. In fact, it was just a Democrat fad, a kind of mass psychological mass delusion. I think that’s a really important one. So, we have that.

We also saw last night our friend Blake Masters, who we had just had on the show recently. He is now gonna be… Has it been officially called yet? Did they officially call for Masters? I know Kari Lake says she’s got it in the bag, but her opponent is saying, Robson is saying no. This is for the Arizona governor’s primary, Republican primary. Kari Lake, who we’ve had on many times. I got a chance to speak to Kari a bit on the issues outside of radio, too, and she is a very formidable candidate. Looks like she’s gonna win, but there’s still some counting going. I think it’s not officially called yet.

I believe Blake Masters has… It hasn’t been officially called? He’s gonna be the Republican contender — he was away ahead in the polls — squaring off against Mark Kelly for that Arizona Senate seat. So those are — and, by the way, if there’s a big one in your state that I am leaving out, by all means email us at ClayAndBuck.com. Email us at the VIP or call in at 800-282-2882.

I’m trying to work on… When I do… I get in the habit of doing radio and I kind of just look around me because I’m in the zone, man, and I realize I need to look into the camera more for YouTube purposes during radio. So that’s something you can do when you go to ClayAndBuck.com or just subscribe to our YouTube channel. If I left out any really important race last night at this stage I would say, let me know and I’ll get back into it. But the Dixon victory backed by Trump… I mean, you look at the whole range of people from…

Oh, and there is no one that got a lot of attention! One big thing from last night was that you have this Republican member of Congress, Meijer, right, up in West Michigan. He’s an incumbent, and he is one of these guys who lost to a contender on the other side who was actually getting some Democrat money — and John Gibbs, congratulations to John Gibbs. He is a now candidate for the Michigan third Congressional District. Gibbs is backed by Trump. He is very MAGA. He is African-American, and he ended up beating Meijer in this primary.

So Meijer got primaried. He voted to impeach Trump, and this is one of these places where the Democrats spent a few hundred thousand dollars supporting Gibbs — and this was official, like DCC — DCCC. There you go. Democrat Congressional… No, DCC… Whatever. Yeah. Gotta get the last C. No, DCC. Whatever. The D triple C. Yeah, I gotta get the third C in there. It’s one of those places where there was hundreds of thousands of dollars thrown behind goes by because they thought, they thought that he would be an easier candidate for the Democrat to beat going into the general election.

Be careful what you wish for, libs. I think Meijer was a weak candidate. He voted for the impeachment of Donald Trump. He had a lot of money to spend. He comes from a wealthy family in the area. I think family owns like a supermarket chain. So, yeah, he lost his seat. Turns out voting to impeach the sitting president of your party for absurdity is not a good career move if you want to be in the Congress and still be a Republican. You want to pull a Liz Cheney and be a fake Republican as a Democrat? Fine. You go for that. Oh, Cheney certainly got a lot of attention too.

I’m sure some of you saw this. She had posted a photo of Kevin Costner with an “I’m with Liz” or “I’m voting for Liz Cheney” T-shirt on because, you see, if you can get a multimultimillionaire Hollywood liberal who pretends to be a rancher on TV to support you for a congressional seat in Wyoming where there are actual ranchers… Yeah, you see how that works? That is the contempt that Cheney has for people who actually live in her state. (laughing)

It’s, “Hey, let’s get this Hollywood actor who pretends to be one of you to support me to fool you into thinking we all share the same values!” Yes. Yes. Let’s have… You know, and I like Kevin Costner in Yellowstone and, you know, the rumor mill says he’s a pretty nice guy, but he’s a lib. He’s a lib. The other election that I want to spend — or I should say referendum that I want to spend some time on is what happened in Kansas, because there are important lessons here.

Obviously, a red state. A red state, though, where an effort to allow the state legislature to regulate abortion through state-level legislation was defeated last night. In Kansas! Not in Colorado, not in California, in Kansas. So we should get into why this happened. Because if it can happen there are some specific circumstances to Kansas and I’ll explain that, but I think it is a wake-up call to the pro-life movement, one we need to be aware of going to the midterms.

BREAK TRANSCRIPT

LAKE: We won today seven-out-of-10 Election Day votes.

CROWD: (cheers)

LAKE: Do you know that? That is massive, and those votes are not counted yet.

CROWD: (cheers)

LAKE: There is no path to victory for my opponent, and we won this race, period.

CROWD: (cheers)

LAKE: They’ve only counted 13,000 Election Day votes, and that’s where our people voted. When they count the votes, we are going to win this, and there’s no path to victory for our opponent.

CROWD: (cheers)

BUCK: Welcome back to Clay and Buck. This is Buck talking to you from New York City. And that was Kari Lake, who has declared victory. I don’t think it has been officially declared in the state of Arizona yet. It’s a very, very tight margin, but Kari’s team where people believe there’s no way — as you heard just there — that she will not be the Republican nominee for the governor of Arizona, and a very important state, obviously.

We all remember 2020 and what went on and Arizona and the whole thing. So that was a good moment. I think Kari’s gonna do very well. I think Blake Masters is gonna do very well in that state when he hopefully defeats Mark Kelly and becomes the Senator from there. So there was so good news last night, and whenever I have good news to share with all of you, I take every opportunity I can. You know, whenever we can put things into context, we realize we are making progress, we are getting some wins, setting some things right, and that’s all to the good.
