Democrats Are Fading Ahead Of Election Day, Senator Cruz Gives You His Predictions On The Big Races & How Big THE RED WAVE COULD BE!

bus tour stop that was truly incredible. Well, you started in Texas, we ended in Texas to a very very big crowd there and over and over again when you talked about the economy, the American people are responding to that issue, and yet Democrats still seem to have not figured out it's the economy, stupid. Well, look, I think that's right. We're a day away from election day. Election day is tomorrow. I think you and I both believe that we're going to have a really good election. But

believing it doesn't make it happen. It takes action. And at this point, one hundred percent of the election is turnout. There's nothing else. So my message to everyone listening to this is vote, vote, vote, but don't just vote. Get your friends to vote, get your family vote, get your neighbors to vote. Literally, sit there Monday Tuesday, sit there on your phone and send texts to five people, to

tend people, to twenty people, to thirty people. The way this election will be one or lost is who physically shows up to vote. And I think it's going to be a great election because I think the percentage of people who are pissed off about the past the country is on as much greater than the percentage of people who are thrilled with what's happening in Washington. But everyone needs to remember that doesn't happen automatically on its own. It only happens if we physically show up and vote.

You know. I talked to guy last night. We had the last event of the seventeen state bus tour. Talk to a guy at the bar afterwards. One woman said, oh, I just voted today, last day of early voting. And another woman or another man rather said, well, I went to vote today, but the line was too long, so I left. So I guess I've got to go on election day. And I looked at him. I said, please

go on election day. There may be a long line, you know, Go and bring a book, bring your phone, be prepared to wait in the long line, show up and vote. I think if we have turnout, we will see a phenomenal election. Senator, I want to get into some predictions in just a moment, but first I want to tell everybody about an amazing company.

You know, some of the predictions that are coming Cenator are ones that

I think are genuinely shocking. The House Republican Conference chair Stephani said that he is predicting the coming red wave will also hit New York State. That is something three, four or five months ago seemed unimaginable, saying this is a once in a generation opportunity to win back the state of New York and really save our state. There you look at this saying that Leezeldon has a very

good chance of winning the governor's race. There, I think that tells you about the mentality of the American people and also how much the American people are hurting. Yeah. Look, I think Leezeldon has a real shot at winning governor in New York. I think we have a good shot at winning governor in Oregon of all places, and people are fed up. We've got some governors races where we could have some important wins, and in terms of the House and Senate races, the battle isn't entirely turn out.

And part of why I think we're in such a strong position is the top three issues in the country according to the polling, have been the same now for several months. Number one issue in the country hands down as inflation and especially gas prices. People are pissed at the price they're paying at the pump, at the price they're paying in the book grocery store, at the price they're paying for everything. The number two issue in the country is crime. Crime has gotten horrific under really misguided

Democrat policies. If Leezelden gets elected governor of New York, crime will be the dominant issue that elects him. And it's played out. I mean literally. The candidate was violently assaulted while on the campaign trail, and the guy that tried to kill him was released from jail that same day under cash less bail. I mean it, if the sitting Democrat governor wanted to make a campaign ad for Leez Eldon, I'm not sure she could have done any

better than that. Pennsylvania. If doctor Oz wins in Pennsylvania, crime will be the dominant reason, and Fetterman's record on crime as abysmal. So that is a big issue that is moving a lot of votes. And then number three is illegal immigration. We have now over four point seven million people who've crossed illegally, the worst illegal immigration in the history of our country. That was a deliberate political decision. That is an issue in the polls, especially in South Texas.

And so that combination all three of those issues, Republicans have a double digit lead because the Democrats created those problems. They are they are the creation of the Democrats. Now, ironically, the media and the White House are trying to convince the American people the problems don't exist. And so you know, you had Joy read on MSNBC saying, oh, inflation. Nobody

talks about inflation. This is a made up thing that Republicans have just convinced people is a problem, which I gotta say is one of the stupidest arguments I've ever heard that, Oh really, you know, you don't notice when you go fill up your car truck at it's one hundred bucks one hundred and fifty bucks. That just never would occur to you except some big, mean, nasty Republican told you about it. Listen, Inflation is one of those issues that everyone sees every day and it impacts everyone.

That's part of what makes it so potent. You know, even Democrats are understanding. I think just how bad this is. Bill maher On a real time started his show off last night, and it was almost like he had no energy because he sees the red wig that's coming, and he put it this way about the economy and how did Democrats get this thing so wrong? A few days before the election? I see the big story demographically is

somehow the Democrats lost white women. It's funny, it looked so good for the Democrats, like after the Row versus Wade ruling, it looked like abortion was going to be the big issue, but that seems to have fizzled. They lost twenty seven points, a swing of twenty that's unheartive, like they were gonna the Democrats are gonna win by twelve and other Republicans are going to win by fifteen or something. Why how they lose that demographic? I think

the biggest issue is the economy and inflation. So if you look at if you ask people what they think of the economy right now, the pessimism is about as strong as it was in the depths of the O eight financial crisis. And inflation is particularly We've lived for so long in a period of low inflation, we don't realize how spooky inflation is to most people. Unemployment effects the people who are employee and their families ten fifteen percent.

Inflation affects everyone, and it robs middle class people of their savings. That makes people every time they go to the gas station, every time you go to the grocery store, you're reminded of it. And there's a reason why. Inflation is what causes political revolutions. If you think about the inflation of the seventies, this is what ushers in Reaganism. It breaks the back of the New Deal. Basically, it

brings in Tachism. It just you know, Iran had very high inflation right before the Iranian Revolution, and of course the iconic example as Weimar and the twenties hyperinflation in German Venezuela exactly. So, I mean inflation is much more corrosive than I think people realize. You know, it is

so corrosive, and I do think people realize it. And in the way that he put it center, this is just shocking that the Democrats screwed it up this big and refused to admit there's a major financial issue in this country. Well, I think that's right, and I think the commentary there that is really powerful is that inflation is universal when it comes to unemployment. If you happen to have lost your job, you're pissed off about it.

But if somebody else has their job, they're not necessarily as concerned about unemployment, Whereas inflation, absolutely everybody is impacting it, and it's a double whammy. Not only are the costs of everything you're trying to do in life going up, but the value of all your savings are plummeted as the stock markets have been decimated. Where you have senior citizens who, by the way, senior citizens generally are not

reflected in unemployment numbers because most seniors are retired. But if you have a senior who's worked thirty forty years, has saved responsibly, has a four oh one K. Where that senior is right now, the value of their four oh one k, the value their retirement has dropped twenty percent, maybe twenty five, maybe thirty the National Bridge just thirty four thousand dollars is what people have lost on average in their four oh one K. Those seniors are freaked out,

and understandably, Suddenly their nest egg is significantly smaller and their monthly outflow is significantly bigger. That's a really bad combination. But it doesn't just impact people on the older edges of life. If you're a young person, you're just say, coming out of school, getting a job. Suddenly, rents are much less affordable Suddenly. If you're a young family, let's say you've got little kids, you're getting started. You and

I are both both dads with young kids. You know, that's a stage when people start saving, some start trying to provide for their needs, trying to start saving for college. The impact of inflation. If you had a thousand dollars when Joe Biden became president, if you had a thousand dollars in the bank right now, that thousand dollars is worth about eight hundred dollars that sort of back of

the envelope math, but that's pretty close. That means it is as if someone came and stole two hundred dollars from you, because the money that you had responsibly saved that you didn't use for something else due to no fault of your own, is worth substantially less that combination. You don't need an economist to explain it to you. You don't need a politician to explain it to you. When you start discovering that the amount you spend just to fill your car with gas every week has doubled

or more, that explains itself to people in technicolor. You know, it's one of those basic questions that we've heard so many times from politicians, but this year I think it's one of the most important question. It's is your life better off now or was it better off two years ago before the Democrats put in all these socialist agenda items, and now look at where we are. We look at

the price of gas. I'm very concerned about the price of gas because, as you've mentioned before on this show, the strategical reserves, the two you know, million barrels that we're releasing day after day after day. That's gonna end, guess what, right at the election day, and then we're gonna see much higher gas prices. Triple A has already come out and said they believe we should be back up in the five dollar range after the election, maybe

even by Christmas. And that's part of I think the big lie from the Democrats, especially on the House side, where they say, oh, we're gonna get things under control, and they know that this massive price increase is about to happen on top of the issue that we have right now with diesel shortage in this country, which the truckers are talking about those putting diesel gas already over five hours a gallon, and we and we have a

real supply chain issue. Well, look, that's exactly right. And when it comes to energy, the Democrats are wildly realistic. They're out of touch with working men and women, and they frankly don't care about working men and women. Their policies are being set by a bunch of hipsters sipping lattes who are essentially saying, let them eat cake, let them drive electric cars, and the reality of life doesn't

concern them. You know, just today in the news, Joe Biden just gave a speech in California where he said, we're gonna put all the coal plants in America out of business. We're gonna have everyone driving electric and there'll be no more coal. And it's kind of funny. Joe Mansion from West Virginia is suddenly pretending like he's angry about this, and he's saying that's offensive, that's ridiculous. He's never said that to me. Well, Joe, I'm sorry if

he's never said that to you. He said that to the rest of the world repeatedly, and if you haven't heard it, it's because you've had your head in the sand. Because that is his agenda. All of the coal miners in West Virginia he wants to bankrupt. And I'll tell you, by the way, when they passed there, or Wellian named Inflation Reduction Act. And I say or Wellian because the Inflation Reduction Act, the only impact of it will be

to increase inflation. It was hundreds of billions of dollars of new spending, and it was billions of dollars of new taxes on energy. It was literally okay, energy prices are too high. What should we do. Let's put new taxes on it. The only outcome of that is to drive energy prices higher. And I made that point to mention on the Senate floor as they were voting. I said, this bill is screwing energy producers in the United States,

and Joe insisted that wasn't the case. Well, he's suddenly discovering what his party is trying to do, which is to take every coal miner in West Virginia and in Ohio and in Kentucky and in Pennsylvania and put them all out of a job. And you know, as John Kerry derisively said, learn to code. That's the Democrats response to blue collar America is we don't like your jobs and we are happy to destroy them with no idea

what you can do next. I want to remind everybody that's listening right now make sure that you join us on election night because we're going to be doing a live at Verdict that we'll be able to put that video out live on YouTube also I think on Twitter and Facebook simultaneously, and so make sure you join us on election night. But let's look at the election how and give an overview. First, Senator and then we'll move into some of the House races and some of the

important races that you've been supporting candidates. But how should people look at election night and where should they be looking for key indicators of what races could really kind of tell you early on on the East Coast, what could be happening in Middle America as we head out west. Well, on the East Coast, they're going to be a number of fairly early results. You're going to get early results in New York and the gubernatorial race, you'll get early results.

In the Senate race. In New Hampshire you'll get early results. And pen Sylvania you'll get early results. In North Carolina, you'll get early results. In Georgia, you'll get early results. In Florida. You'll get early results. In Ohio that'll be the first wave. Wisconsin will be not long thereafter. Many of those are hotly, hotly contested races. There are also states like Virginia where there are several highly contested congressional races, and so we'll get early results from those as well.

Now it may be that Pennsylvania the results are delayed for multiple days. They're the way they do elections in Pennsylvania unfortunately is deeply messed up. They have many, many mail in ballots, and the Pennsylvania Secretary of State has already made clear they have no intention of counting all the ballots by the end of election night. I find

it utterly bizarre. Most places in the world, certainly most places of the United States, can count the damn votes on election day, and yet these these bright blue Democrats strongholds, seemed to plan on, well, we're going to count for three four days, maybe a week. It's not complicated that if you're counting three four days after the election and you know the outcomes everywhere else, and you know how many votes you need, it is an invitation to cheating,

an invitation to misconduct. But that's what Democrats do. We will get those early results, will come in as the night gets going, and so you and I are going to be doing a live verdict that night, and as those results come in, we're going to be analyzing them as they come in. And then we'll move further west. We'll be moving to states like Arizona, states like Nevada, states like Washington State, all of which have hotly contested

Senate races. States like Oregon and the gubernatorial race. So we'll see that play out as it moves west, but there will be an early bevy of decisions that come in relatively early in the night from the East coast that will give us a strong indication of what's likely to happen. You know, you look at what this red wave, and I do believe it's going to be a red wave. We've talked about the Senate. You've said on this show early on that you thought it could be fifty two

fifty three. Then that change from fifty two of solid fifty three, and now where do you feel like we might be on election night on the Senate side before we move to the House. You know, I'm at fifty three or fifty four, and if you pressed me, I'd probably say fifty four. Now. I keep getting more optimistic as the days move forward. I think the momentum is steadily on our side. I think the Democrats keep screwing

things things up. When Biden's final election pitch is vote for me, you damn fascist terrorists, or else the universe will end. I think that seems like an angry, out of touch person that has no idea about the policy failures that the American people are suffering through and so I think the momentum is in our way. I also think it's striking that you look at where Joe Biden

is going to campaign. He's going to campaign in California and Chicago, and then also, interestingly, the only battleground place they're taking Joe Biden is Pennsylvania. And you've got Joe Biden there, You've got Barack Obama there, You've got Donald Trump there. So the people of Pennsylvania are getting it from all sides. I hope they just focus on how radical John Fetterman is and realize we want to change

a path. But Biden there will infuriate people on the right, Trump there will infuriate people on the left, and who the heck knows what happens in that blender that that results. But in virtually every other contested Senate race, Biden and Kamala Harris are nowhere to be found. So so Biden is not going to Ohio or New Hampshire or Arizona or Georgia or Wisconsin or Nevada, all of the close contested Senate races, Biden is nowhere to be found. And

that ain't accidental. It's the simple reality that no Democrat on the ballot in anything resembling a radar purple state wants to be seen within a thousand miles of Joe Biden. That's that's a problem for those candidates. And I thought it was one of the one of the biggest blunders political mistakes I've seen the President coming out with what the Chief of Staff described from the White House the

other day is his final warning. When he had this, you know, six days before the election, is prime time speech. He mentioned the issue of border security zero times, crime, zero times, inflation zero time, gas prices zero times, education zero times, police zero times, fetnal zero times. It was basically a fear mongering speech that with none of those issues. I think that actually hurt the Democrats him coming out with that speech, and I think it took away. I

think it actually gave momentum to the Republicans. So so you're saying, when the top of your tickets, h doesn't talk about any issue any actual voters care about. That that's a problem. Yeah, It's call me crazy, right, It's the most bizarre thing. You know, when you're in the DC Beltway, the reporters and the Democrats are all obsessed with a set of issues that literally, I mean, I've traveled the entire country in the last month. I've been

to seventeen states. Nobody in those states cares about the issues that are animating MSNBC and the Biden White House, and that disconnect is really dangerous for election Day. Two more things I want to get to before election Day, and that's number one. Let's talk about this twenty five for twenty you busted your tail traveling around the country. You're not on the ballot, it's time, and you made sure that you got out there and worked for hardcore

constitutional conservatives. You even helped find candidates, one of those we were with last night, who I believe is a rock star in a very tough race where she and based on history, she has no business winning her race. It's a Democrat district, yet sure enough it's extremely tight race. You found these incredible conservatives to back and support, and I think there's a lot of people hoping that those are the types of candidates that actually went on Tuesday. Well,

I agree. This is something that I started doing two years ago. So two years ago, in the twenty twenty cycle, I decided to get very, very engaged in house races, and we launched an initiative that we called twenty five for twenty where I looked across the country and I tried to identify twenty five candidates who are running for the House of Representatives, and those twenty five candidates I endorsed, I campaigned for, I got behind of them. Twenty three

of them were challengers, so only two were incumbents. The other twenty three were either running for open seats or running against Democrat incumbents. And I brought all those candidates together raised about three and a half million dollars for those twenty five candidates. Now, all of the money that I was raising was hard money. In other words, I raised the money and transferred it directly to them. They got it directly, so it wasn't me controlling the money

and me spending it. I was operating under the assumption they know how to run their campaign better than I do, and I don't need to micromanage their campaign. But we ended up being for most of those candidates. We were the single largest fundraiser for those candidates, and of the twenty five, fourteen of them one. It was a remarkable result, and really what we're trying to do as a couple

of things. Number One, with this initiative, we're looking for the strongest conservatives who can win, and both of those are needed. Who can win matters if you're the best candidate ever, but you're running in a D plus twenty district and it's just hopeless. I'm not going to ask investors to invest their resources in tilting at windmills. The stakes are too high. We got a country to say.

But what I'm looking for is people who a have a real shot at winning, but be whin they win, will be principled fighters, will stand and fight and make a difference. And of the twenty five, we had people like Burgess Owens, we had people like Yvette Harrow. We had people like Lauren Bobert, people who came in as among the strongest conservative leaders that came in in the newly elected class. Well, Ben, this time we're doing the

same thing. This time we called it twenty five for twenty two, I guess because I'm really bad at naming things. And we've got twenty five candidates who, if anything, are more impressive the first wave we had. We've got candidates like a candidate I was with just a couple of days ago up in Michigan. John Gibbs. John Gibbs is running in Michigan three. He is an African American man. He was graduated from Stanford. He has a master's degree from Harvard. He was a Christian missionary in Japan for

a number of years, fluent in Japanese. He was a senior appointee in the Trump administration. He's smart, he's principled, he's conservative, and he's running in a district. I think he's gonna win, and when he wins, he's going to be a rock star. Someone else who's in this group group Jennifer Ruth Green. Jennifer Ruth Green is running in Indiana one. Indiana one is a toss up race. Jennifer Ruth went to the Air Force Academy. She served a couple of decades in the Air Force. She has a

master's from Liberty University. She's an African American woman, a conservative, strong passionate. She's got a good shot on winning and if and when she wins, she's going to be a real leader. Someone else in the group, Harriet Hageman. Harriet is the one who primaried and beat Lynn Chaney Liz Cheney in Wyoming. Harriet is a constitutional lawyer. She is smart, she's engaged. She's going to be another rock star in the freshman class. I'll tell you someone else in the group,

Eli Crane. Eli Crane is running in Arizona. To Eli Crane is a Navy seal. He spent thirteen years as a Navy seal with five wartime deployments. He's also he's a small business owner, and he's smart, he's principled. We did a big rat rally with Eli in Tucson, and he's someone else who is going to really shake things

up when he wins. Not only that, there's a whole group of candidates we included in this and this has been a major focus of mine for some time, but particularly this cycle, which is Latina Conservatives, and there are three in Texas. There is Myra Flores, who ran in the special election a couple of months ago in the district in Texas along the Gulf Coast starts just south of Corpus Christy goes all the way down to Brownsville, the southern tip of Texas, right on the border of Mexico.

That is a district that had not elected a Republican since eighteen seventy one special election happens, Myra wins. She is Republican. She is the first Mexican born woman ever elected to Congress. She is married to a Border Patrol agent. She is smart, dynamic. That district is the most Hispanic district in the country. At a four hundred and thirty five districts, it's the most Hispanic. It now is represented by a Republican. In the district next to it, Monica

Dela Cruz is running. Monica's fantastic. She's a small business owner. She's a single mom. She ran two years ago and almost one two years ago with almost zero money. She came within two thousand votes of winning last time, and the National Party didn't support her at all. It was a shoe string budget. This time, she's got resources and I think is very likely to win the district. Next to her is Cassie Garcia. Cassie, you and I were just last night at a big rally for Cassie. Cassie

is someone I know very very well. Cassie worked on my staff for eight years. She was my South Texas director. She was my deputy state director. Cassie is smart, principled conservative. She is beloved in the Rio Grand Valley. She too is married to a border patrol agent. Her husband as the sector chief in the Del Rio sector, the sector with the worst illegal immigration right now. He's fighting every day despite his political superiors effectively tying his hands behind

his backs. I think Cassie's gonna win. I think we're gonna come out of this race with all of the Rio Grand Valley represented by Republicans, all three of whom are Latina, and every one of these districts has been Democrat for over one hundred years. And let me go a little broader than that, three other candidates. So I brought those three candidates to just north of Houston, to Montgomery County, along with three other candidates. Catalina laff who

is running up in the suburbs of Chicago. Young, Hispanic served in the Trump administration, Passionate Ana Paulina Luna who's running in Florida and the Tampa area, same thing, smart, principled, passionate, very good chance at winning. And then yes Lee Vega who's running in Virginia. We did an awesome rally with Yesley. I think Yesley's got a great shot at winning. Let me tell you Yeslie's story Ben Yesli is the daughter

of immigrants from El Salvador. Yeslie's younger brother was shot and nearly killed by MS thirteen, So for her illegal immigration, it is real and it is personal. Yesle is married to a soldier. They were stationed overseas in Korea for some time. Yeslei is a mom of two kids, and she's also a cop. When her younger brother was shot, she decided to sign up and become a police officer. She spent over a decade as a police officer. And Yeslie is a firebrand. You see her on the stump

she is. She is just a firebrand. We had the six of them been together in Houston. I hosted a fundraiser for them. Is the easiest fundraiser I've ever held in my life. I essentially had to get out of the way, just shut up and at them shine and they were. Everyone was blown away. We raised over one million dollars for those six candidates, six Latinas, all six of whom can win. In November. The group promptly dubbed

themselves the Spicy Tacos, making a playoff. As you know, Jill Biden offensively referred to Hispanics as unique as breakfast tacos, and so they're owning it. And I got to say, if we get to January and we have a new generation of strong, principled conservative leaders, many of whom are Latina or African American, and they're young and they're committed, that's how we don't just change the Republican Party. It's how we change the country. It is a generational and

paradigm shift. And that's why I'm devoting so much time and energy to trying to make that happen. You know, I think car Lake said it great this week. They were tired of being silent. She's blasting big tech, blasting the mainstream media, blasting cancel culture. I think there's so much of that and so many of these candidates where they're just saying we're tired of being silent, are being silenced by the left, and we're standing up for what

we believe in. There is one concern, and I've heard this a lot, Senator, and I want to close with this. I want to remind everybody listening we will be live with Verdict Live. You can watch us on YouTube, on Facebook, Twitter on election night. Make sure you make that part of your election night watch agenda. Sat. There's always a worry that when Republicans get an opportunity, we screw it up.

When we get the majority, we screw it up. There are many that are concerned about the Republican leadership that they will immediately push these hardcore conservative new people to the back of the room and say, wait your turn and see how we do things in Washington. How do we avoid that disaster if in fact we do have a big red wave on election night and we do have Republicans you know that show up that are new

even like that, you know, JD. Vance and others who are coming from behind now leading in the polls, how do we make sure they don't get sent back to the back of the room and say, Okay, be quiet, you just got here. Well, that is exactly what is going to happen, what leadership is going to try to do. And it's important for people to realize that the battle is not over on election day. The battle just starts

on election day. If you and I are right that we're going to come out of election day with big Republican majorities in both houses, then we got to act like it then we got to use it. Then we got to stand up and use those majorities to deliver on what we promised to fight back against the disastrous policies that are hurting the American people. And what we'll play out is we will see Republican leadership in both houses, and the House and Senate leadership will say no, no,

we can't fight on this. No, no you can't fight Biden on that. No you can't use that lever, No you can't actually fight to win. I will say when I first got to the Senate, I was elected in twenty twelve, showed up in twenty thirteen, that's where we were. Barack Obama had just been reelected. We had a Republican House, we had a Democrat Senate, and our leadership was convinced there was nothing, nothing, nothing we could fight on that what we needed to do was roll over on everything.

And I had some epic, knock down, teardown battles with my own leadership trying to get us to follow through on our promises. Now, to be clear, I'm not saying fight on everything always. If you fight on everything, you're fighting on nothing. You've got to prioritize, You've got to pick battles that matter and have a smart, serious strategy to engage on those battles and win. But leadership historically has been afraid to do so. Now you asked, how

do we change that? The single best way to change that is doing what you and I have been doing for the last month, which is electing rock ribbed conservatives to the House and to the Senate. Why. Because leadership is in many ways a mirror. Leadership reflects the conference. If the conference is a bunch of squishes, leadership is going to be a squish. If you elect a bunch of rock ribbed conservatives who are ready to fight and lead,

leadership in Washington is in many ways followership. That the best way of changing the agenda and infusing a backbone in Republican majorities is ensuring you've got strong leaders. It's why I think it's so important to seek out and support people who will be those strong leaders, who won't roll over and listen. By the way, leadership has exactly the opposite interest. They want to see elected people who

will be docile and follow the orders. I want to see people who are the opposite of that, people who will follow the orders, not of the party bosses in Washington, but the people who elected them, and so these races are a battle where I'm trying and you know what, Look, you also don't have to transform the entirety of the conference in the Senate. You don't have to have half of the Republican Senators be rock rib conservatives. I'd love it, but to change the place, you don't need to control

all the numbers. You need big enough to be able to shift the dynamic in the Conference and the Senate. Literally one or two senators can make that difference. In the House, it takes more, which is why I'm playing in a lot more races. But the objective is the same, which is to elect conservative leaders who will do what they said they would do. It's going to be very,

very fun to watch election unfold. Senator. I do mean this sincerely, thank you for your leadership on this twenty five for twenty two and getting behind some of these candidates, also even helping with some Senate races as well, like Mike Lees, which is looking a little bit better in Utah. This is going to be an important day.

On a side note, Senator, I know you're excited because you get to do make memories with your family. You got the World Series. I want your prediction quickly. What do you think is going to happen? Well, you and I are recording this Saturday

afternoon tonight. I'm going to Game six. I'm going with Katherine, my twelve year old. My prediction is stros and six. We'll see if that happens. When this comes out, you'll know if that was right or wrong. I hope I'm not eating crow, but but I feel pretty good about it. Well, and a lot of people don't realize this has become your and your daughter's things. It's become a tradition of yours, which makes it so special. It is amazing going to

playoff games with Katherine. We've been doing it every year for six years at a row now. We started back in twenty seventeen when the Astros had that incredible run and won the World Series. And they've been in the ALCS every year since then, six consecutive years, four of the last six World Series. And I've taken Katherine to a whole bunch of those home games throughout and it has become probably my favorite daddy daughter bonding time. It's

awesome one. Enjoy the Game Center. We'll see all of you guys listening on election night as well, and we'll see you then. Thanks for joining us as always, Hit that share button and hit that subscribe auto download the button, and we'll see you back here in a couple of days.
