Welcome in Everybody's Thursday edition of The Clay and Buck Coo starts right now. We are just days away. What is it twelve days now? I think twelve days from the big day, Election Day, and the final pitch from the campaigns from each of them. Donald Trump running against Kamala Harris. Trump is out there having fun, telling people's stories, slapping them on the back, talking about making America great once again, booming the economy, securing the borders, all this stuff, and the Kamala campaigns response, their last ditch effort to get a wave of independent swing voters to go with them is Donald Trump is hitler. That's what they're saying, and he's a fascist. They're saying all kinds of crazy stuff. We will dive into this, but I think this is a desperation time for their campaign. It sounds certainly very desperate to me. We've also got some great guests today. I want to tell you where we're going with all that. We will talk to our buddy Ryan Gradusky, political analyst extraordinaire about the latest numbers. We'll talk to him about what the early voting is and what the you know to the degree that polls are still giving you a snapshot of what to expect. Ryan's going to jump in with that.

Well.

Well.

Also got Derek Anderson joining candidate for Congress in the seventh district in Virginia, former former Army Special Forces green beret, straining with the IDF in the past. He's going for the seat currently held by Abigail Spanberger, who stepped down to run for governor. So another another Virginia race and another like Special Operations guy. It's funny the Democrats play are like why are we losing the masculine voter? It's like, I don't know, why are all the Specops guys Republicans? Maybe there's maybe there's something they're missing.

Also, what about just this is my thing in general, I understand, And some professional politicians are good at their jobs.

That's great in.

That's great in.

An ideal world, wouldn't everybody be super accomplished in another field before they decided to become a politician, Like have success in your life as Hun Cow did yesterday, as Derek Anderson, who we're going to talk to today has done as well, and then decide that you want to give back to the country by being a politician. This idea of being a perpetual politician, the Joe Biden style for forty seven years. I don't think that's what our founders envisioned. I would like to see guys and gals who have been successful in other walks of life decide, Hey, I've accomplished a lot here now I want to give back. It seems like Republicans are far more often to be doing that than Democrats are.

And perhaps Clay that's a good place to transition to. How did Kamala Harris become the Democrat nominee?

Oh?

Oh?

Wait? How was she the vice president? How was she a senator?

Wait? How was she the vice president? How was she a senator?

Oh?

Oh?

Was she an Attorney general for the state of California. This woman is a walking, talking political disaster. I don't know how much more clear it could be. She had the CNN town hall last night. Now, just to set the stage here, CNN wanted Trump and Kamala to come and debate, and Trump's like, no, and you know, we're I'm not going to get into this. It doesn't matter, there's no need to kind of re litigate this decision making. But Trump didn't go, Kamala did, so it turned into a Kamala town hall. I want to give you some of this. There's some stuff that she's saying, Clay, that we would have to put in the reckless and nasty category. We'll get to that Trump is a fascist, but there's also I cannot believe that Democrats really think this woman here she is, she's asked a question in this town hall has cut nine about her weaknesses. I just want to be quiet and let you hear what she says.

What weaknesses do you bring to the table and how do you plan to overcome them while you're in office.

What weaknesses do you bring to the table and how do you plan to overcome them while you're in office.

That's a great question, Joe. Well, I am certainly not perfect, so let's start there. And I think that I perhaps a weakness, some would say, but I actually think it's the strength as I really do value having a team of very smart people around me who bring to my decision making process different perspectives. My team will tell you I am constantly saying, let's kick the tire on that, Let's kick the tires on it.

Let's kick the tires on it. Clay, it's such a bad answer. I mean, I bet many of you have gone to a job interview and been asked that question.

Let's kick the tires on it. Clay, it's such a bad answer. I mean, I bet many of you have gone to a job interview and been asked that question.

It is a very standard question. What is your biggest weakness.

It is a very standard question. What is your biggest weakness.

And it's even one that you would prep for if you were sitting aroun and you were nervous about an interview and you said, hey, can I just practice maybe with your mom, your dad, grandma, grandpa, friend, family member. It's not uncommon if you're nervous about your first job interview or really significant job interview, that you would kind of work your way through it to prepare with what your answers might be. Buck, She's been vice president for four years and she can't answer one of the most basic questions out there. And her answer is actually not something that someone would.

Ever say is a weakness.

Ever say is a weakness.

Some people would say it's a weakness that I have really smart people who advise me. What is the contrary to that that you should have really dumb people who advise you. Would anybody want that? I just she is so uniquely bad. I watched this entire CNN town hall that they kept her off the campaign trail to do Telemundo, to do NBC, and to do this CNN town hall for basically two full days, and she bombed in all three. The weakness answer was really bad. Also, Buck, she was asked by Anderson Cooper, who was far from the most difficult person grilling you on questions what mistakes have you made and what have you learned from them? I would put it in conjunction with the weakness answer, which was very Michael Scott, but we'll play that for you too because the Trump campaign shared it. But here is Buck the mistake answer.

Is there something you can point to in your life, political life, or in your life in the last four years that you think is a mistake that you have learned from.

Is there something you can point to in your life, political life, or in your life in the last four years that you think is a mistake that you have learned from.

I mean, I've made many mistakes, and they range from you know, if you've ever parented a child, you know you make lots of mistakes too. In my role as vice president, I mean I've probably worked very hard at making sure that I am well versed on issues, and I think that is very important. It's a mistake not to be well versed on an issue and feel compelled to answer a question.

I Buck, what does she say she to ask you?

I Buck, what does she say she to ask you?

I mean, ultimately, I think you just have to circle back around to she is a DEI more on. She got all of her jobs because people wanted her to be good at them because in California. I mean this, honestly, I love California. I've spent a lot of time out there. There's a huge cadre of Californian's Buck who want their leader to look like Kamala Harris, and they don't actually care whether she has the brains to be able to do the job. It makes them feel good to have a half black, half Asian politician who's kind of good looking, that that is their representative, and they don't actually care whether there's any substance behind it. And this is to what happens in a one party state, Buck, and I think she's a great example of this, not only of being a dei higher, but when there's no real pushback. She's never had to win a race be in any way compelling in her market because it's so left wing. She just doesn't have any clue how to get past the cliches and do we have the Michael Scott. I'll play this for you because when I watch this live, it reminded me of Michael Scott from the Office. For everybody out there who's watched this show, at what percentage of our audience you think I've ever watched The Office bus?

I mean, I love The Office and I like still to this day. If it's on TV. It's one of the few things and I'll just be like, I'm gonna watch it, you know, thirty minutes I'll watch this episode. I think a lot of our people want I'd say half this audience has watched at least one episode of The of the Office at some point.

If you haven't, it's on streaming now. I think it's a Netflix. I think I'm telling you if you just want to laugh, I think this is a good topic. Buck best comedy's ever my mount rushmore of comedies, and these are ones that have existed in my lifetime. So I'm taking like I love Lucy and Andy Griffith and the old school Brady Bunch, any of those off the board, I would go. The ones that have made me laugh the hardest are The Office, Seinfeld, Veep, and if you count entoura I loved Dontouraja. I thought it was kind of funny, but it's almost like a dramedy comedy of mix. But those would be my quad of ones that I legitimately couldn't wait to watch, And I think The Office maybe the funniest of all of them. Certainly if you put it in the broadcast television criteria let's listen to Michael Scott slash Kamala Harris answer the same questions.

Oh, yes, very good. There you go pretty good. I really do value you having a team of very smart people around me.

I work too hard, I care too much, and sometimes I can be too invested in my job.

So that is Michael Scott being interviewed for a job, and I mean it is perfect.

So a few things here. First off, I think the what are your weaknesses question is the dumbest question that anyone ever gets asked in a job interviewing.

So a few things here. First off, I think the what are your weaknesses question is the dumbest question that anyone ever gets asked in a job interviewing.

But it is a common question. It's not like it's out of left field, right, It is very common.

But it is a common question. It's not like it's out of left field, right, It is very common.

Yeah, people, But but I'm saying I'm breaking with the you know, the the consensus here from the HR departments, what are your weaknesses? Is an idiot? If you were on a date and you're sitting there, you know, if I was sitting there when I was a single guy before I met the love of my life, my lovely wife, and a girl goes, what's the worst thing about you? Like, that's it's that's a dumb question to ask somebody, right, because one, they're not going to tell you the truth, and two, even if they give you something that's not great, why are you asking them to undermine themselves the same thing in a job interview, right, A job interview in a date are actually not that different. You just have on a different outcome, you know, at least you could and to do the My strengths rather my weaknesses are actually strength response though, is even dumber than the dumb question because it just shows like you think you're being clever. And then the classic one is I just work too hard, I take too much responsibility and don't want the credit. Like that's obviously not actually a weakness, and the fact that Kamala did that, she's like, Oh, I just I like diverse and brilliant perspectives. Call me crazy, you can call me a crazy lady, but I like a team of super smart people around me to give me great advice. You know, I'm just nutty that way.

She is, I think uniquely incompetent, and I actually think Tim Walls is dumber than her, which means that this is the dumbest presidential and vice presidential ticket in any of our lives. There's that great meme, have you seen it, Buck, where it starts with Obama and it says, I need a vice president dumber than me, and then the picture is Joe Biden, and then Joe Biden says I need a vice president dumber than me, and the picture is Kamala Harris, and then Kamala Harris says I need a vice president dumber than me, and the picture is Tim Walls. I actually think that's accurate from Obama. Every vice president has gotten dumber, and every presidential nominee or president has gotten dumber too, and the people that they pick as their number twos have gotten dumber, which does make some sense because Kamala is profoundly insecure and it would make sense that she would be uncomfortable picking someone who is smarter than her to be your vice president, which is how she ended up with Tim Walls.

And while we have fun with this, and you know, we like to, we always mix in the most important things in the world right now, at least in terms of what we think and going on in this country with having fun, but it really does also while we're talking about how Kamala, it's just clear she has no idea what's going on. I mean imagine and this used to be something talked about, I think more clay in these presidential election cycles. It seems to have faded a bit in the Biden Kommeeo. Certainly the Kamala era, China decides to go for it in Taiwan, huge armada on the way, and you know the expectation of major casualties for the Chinese Navy for the time when he's Defense Forces and Kamala Harris is sitting in the situation room having to really make the call, make the determination, make the decision. I mean to me, that's just it's an insult to think that that's in any way reasonable for the American people. It is an insult who we come back.

Let's check in on how things are going over at morning, Joel was watching This Morning with Kerry Prp Injection in my knee, Clay, So hopefully I'll be able to walk normal. What does that feel like? Weird? It doesn't hurt that much. So you injured yourself playing tennis? Yes? Is it gotten better?

Like?

Like?

What's the status of the name the bone bruise? Apparently, I don't know. I'm getting old, guys. Now, I'm gonna want to start with each passing year, all of us are gonna be talking about our knees hurting, our back's hurting here on the Clay and Buck Show. So this is what's gonna be going down. But yeah, I gotta I got a I don't know what it's PRP shot. You can sort of tell me if you tell me VIPs if you've ever gotten this done before. Hopefully it means my knee will be normal again. They removed a lot of fluid from my knee, which is kind of gross. Hopefully you're not eating. Let's talk about what's going on over at Morning Joe Speak Joe. Yeah, Morning Joe. They are. They're a little sad these days, a little freaked out. They really Clay asked me this in the commercial break, and I just thought I would share it with all of you. Their attitude seems to be a little bit of the desperate defiance of the girlfriend who knows she's about to be broken up with by some guy and she knows it's coming, but like, she's not gonna be nice. She's not gonna stop nagging and she's going to keep being a boss girl or whatever. You know, she's not gonna change who she is. It's like, well, you're gonna get broken up with soon. Here is what it's like for Mika these days, and how she's trying to frame the Kamala campaign versus Trump. Play three.

Her campaign is about joy in America. It is about freedom in America. It is about women who are right now in danger for their lives because of the healthcare procedures that Donald Trump has taken away from them. I mean, these are serious issues.

She wants to bring.

She wants to bring.

Freedom back to women who have lost fifty years of freedoms. If you look at their social media outreach, Joe, and you look at the way that they speak, it's a joyful campaign, but it is reflecting off who they are running against, a dark, dismal, fascist and increasingly obviously fascist person.

A joyful campaign of the joy and you're an evil hitlarian fascist like and you're gonna die if you get pregnant, and he's gonna make you die.

I just there.

Their entire campaign is descending into chaos. And for those of you out there who remember reading the book game Change about the two thousand and eight presidential campaign, I think it was Buck, and the game change in play was John McCain picks Sarah Palin as his VP, and then a lot of people in that McCain world Buck, I'm curious if you would agree with me. It feels like never really recovered from that campaign because now they're the Many of those McCain people are the Lincoln Project, Bullwark, they're basically Democrats now who have decided that Donald Trump is Hitler. They bought into that argument, and it was a great book, really took you behind the scenes. I'm already looking forward to the real truth being told because as soon as Kamala loses, and I think she's going to lose officially in twelve days, there is going to be a the truth can now be told world where we hear about Biden's true dementia, where we hear just how distasteful and unprepared Kamala has been for much of her campaign, and everybody just tries to settle scores, and it's going to be nasty on a level I don't know that we've ever seen before, because I do think when Hillary lost, they came after Hillary over, hey, you didn't go to Michigan, you didn't go to Wisconsin. But I think it was more of a profound shock, and they then tried to say, oh, we lost because of Russia. Trump's the Manchurian candidate, right. They pivoted and rationalized how the loss happened, which did not require as much culpability on their part. It was all external factors that worked to make Trump win. I think it's going to require a massive amount of self reflection because they did this to themselves. They covered for Biden until it was impossible to cover for him, They didn't allow an actual primary to take place. They elevated a profoundly unprepared and unlikable candidate, and they're going to have to look in the mirror and say we did this, which is you know this buck one of the toughest things about life is accepting personal responsibility when things go bad and looking yourself in the mirror in saying I did this, nobody else is to blame. I screwed up. And when you can do it, it allows growth. I think they're going to have to do it this time.

You know, the root of the word hysteria comes from the ancient Greek hysteria for womb or uterus, and it is essentially an extreme version of a feminized, feminized emotion, right, hysteria. I bring it up because, well, here's Mika Brzhinski cut for let's play it.

This is what voters know right now that he is killing us. I'm talking about us women. He's killing us. He is putting us at risk. He is making us afraid to have babies, he is putting our reproductive health at risk. And some women have died already because of this. So we can see right now what's coming these headlines and very good reporting, by the way, that shouldn't be questioned by idiots about what Trump has said about Hitler. That's incredibly important to know.

He's killing us.

He's not killing anybody. He didn't even I mean Roe v. Wade was overturned by the Supreme Court because Roe v. Wade was garbage loss. Sorry Libs, learn to read, you know. I don't know what else to say. This is Clay. They're so deluded, they're so broken from and separate from observable reality on this stuff. And he's killing Their final pitch is that he's Hitler and he's killing women. This is really what they're going with.

And he's terrifying them from having babies. Let me just say this, no matter who wins the presidency, or who wins the Senate, or who wins Congress, or what state you live in, if you give the government power to decide whether or not you start a family, you are giving the government way too much power. Have kids, trust me, If you are out there and you are uncertain, have kids.

Challenging.

They are incredibly time consuming, but they are the best decision you will ever make. And I say that whether you're a Republican, Democrat, independent, if you're sitting around and I do think this is really the essence of the fear that they've created.

I mean, some of the data reflects there are young people out there. You may have grandkids, you may have kids of your own, that are saying, I'm not going to have kids because I'm afraid of climate change and i don't want I mean, this is a real thing, and some of you are rolling your eyes and you're in disbelief over this. There are a lot of people out there that are twenty four to twenty five years old, boys, girls that are choosing that they do not want to have children because they believe the climate change is such an existential threat that humanity basically shouldn't exist and they can't bring a new soul into the world. That's really I mean, if you are out there and your worldview convinces people not to have children because the planet can handle them having kids, you're basically in favor of human eradication, which is sadly a certain foundational element now of the Democrat Party, which is the Earth can't sustain itself, humans shouldn't exist.

There are too many of us.

Yikes, right, I Mean, that's pretty scary and profoundly dark if you want to talk about it. That's a global hysteria. It's really a psychological pandemic that people are afraid to have children because of climate change. I mean, this is real mind control and delusion stuff. But I would add that it's not just like Meek. I know, I'm doing the Morning Joe thing right now because it really is fascinating to deep dive through their.

Trauma from Trump. They're so traumatized by Trump. But Karine Jean Pierre, speaking from the podium of the West Wing as White House Press Secretary, she's also doing the whole Trump is praising Hitler thing. Listen to this cut two.

You have heard from this president over and over again about the threats to democracy, and the President has spoken about that. You've heard from the former president himself saying that he is going to be a dictator on day one. This is him, not us. This is him, and it's not just all. It's not just us the White House saying this. You've heard it from officials, former officials that work for the former president say this as well. And I can't believe I even have to say this, but our nation's veterans are heroes.

I just I mean, it's so desperate, Buck, It's like it's listening to a bunch of high school girls who hate the popular kid in the class, and they're just going to say anything. You know, It's just gross. I think it actually works to Trump's favor. And that's why I said they've pivoted to fascists. They've destroyed the use of so many phrases. Remember they had to move from racist to white supremacists, and then now they're on to fascist and Hitler. And this is a question that I think would be a great one again if we had a real media asking honest questions of Kamala Harris. If you truly believe that Trump is a fascist and that he has Adolf Hitler like tendencies, why did you call him and console him twice when people tried to kill him? Shouldn't you be in favor?

If you believe that Adolf Hitler is Trump and Trump is Adolf Hitler, shouldn't you be like disappointed that they didn't succeed in killing him?

If you believe that Adolf Hitler is Trump and Trump is Adolf Hitler, shouldn't you be like disappointed that they didn't succeed in killing him?

I mean, I ask, I mean, even I can make it simpler than that. If Trump is Adolf Hitler, would you wouldn't you be completely morally compelled to cheat in the election if I were a German, you know, circa nineteen thirty whatever, and you know, Hitler obviously ran an election. There's never another election under that regime. But I would cheat to I would cheat to make sure Hitler didn't win, right. I mean, it's got a funny They say these things, but then they either lack the courage of their convictions or they're lying, which is really what's going on. They don't believe this stuff. But meek in Morning, Joe, I'm telling you, if Trump wins in January, it's gonna be like, oh, we're so upset Trump is giving tax cuts to billionaires again. I mean, it's all gonna be normal. Like the stuff that they're talking about is insane. But I want to we mentioned Clay, the possible pardoning of Hunter Biden. Yes, this is why I think it's powerful for Trump to be discussing this. Trump is the guy who didn't have his DOJ. DOJ operates independently. I mean, this is like people who think Supreme Court justices have no politics, Like, are we all children?

Know?

Know?

Okay? The DJ does not operate independently of the president. He could have had Hillary Clintley or they could have looked at Hillary Clinton, and they didn't. And she broke the law one hundred percent, no question about it. She did something that was a felony many times over, and they just said, no, we're not gonna prosecute her. Okay, fine, Hunter Biden's a scumback. We all know that he should have gone a prey and he did things that are illegal. He did it over and over again. He's a bad guy. But how is it that you're gonna make the argument that Donald Trump is a fascist and evil not only on the Hillary thing, but when he's the one sitting around saying I would pardon or I will consider pardoning Hunter Biden. Now we know that Joe Biden will beat him to the punch probably, but nonetheless, even discussing a clay I think shows that Trump will have a There'll be a part of Trump that is this is going to the liberals would lose their minds over this. They is trying to move forward and unite the country. I know that they will sneer at that, but it's true. I said this before and some people got mad at me. If I if Trump asked my opinion on this, and we'll play the audio for you and we come back. I would tell him to pardon Hunter Biden, not because I think Hunter Biden deserves it, but because I think it would be an important gesture towards showing some level of reconciliation with the country. And I do think leave aside politics. I think Trump understands, having seen Don Junior, having seen Eric Avonka, his own kids targeted because of what he does. I think he understands as a father, what it would be like and is like for your family to be targeted as opposed to you. I think if Joe Biden was a man of any honor, integrity and leadership, real leadership quality, he would have said before he got shoved out by his own party. All right, guys, I don't even care what the crimes are that you think that Trump committed. We've got an election here. The American people are going to get the right to say what they think should happen with our leadership going forward. I am not locking up Donald Trump. I will I will pardon or commuting. I agree to talk about that, but I will step in and use my pardon power as president. So that my opponent can run in a free and fair election against me. I will not allow the weaponization. The left would have completely freaked out. I understand that, but that actually would have been a powerful thing for the rest of the country.

I think he might have won if he'd been willing to do it. Honestly, I think they would have kept him as ultimately once once he had the nomination locked up, I think it would have been harder to push him out if he had said that. Also, it has true benefits, Bucket. We sometimes talk about it's both the right thing morally and it's the right thing politically, and when you can combine them both, that's a hell of a win. A few things are more precious than the family memories that we all create over the decades of our lives, and so often the way we capture and then can relive those memories is with photo or video. If your family, like mine, had a video camera. Back in the day, my dad used to sit there when we'd open Christmas presents, have the little pajamas with the little feet in them, you know, and he'd be.

I grew up in the heart of this district in spots Maana County, Fredericksburg area for those folks, about hours south of d C. Went to Virginia Tech, went to the Army, you know, deployed to Iraq during the Surge for fifteen months as an infantry guy. I went to Rangers School as well, then went to the Honor Guard and then went to the Green Berets, where I did five deployments as a Green Beret team leader, including Afghanistan, Barray, Lebanon, Israel, and Jordan. Went to law school in Clerks for two federal judges what's interesting and fascinating about my race is, you know, I am going up against Vinman, and mister Vinman is focused on his past. You know, he's focused on his revenge tour with President Trump and doubling down on Kamwa Harris's failed policies, while I'm focused on the future of the people in the district. This is my hometown, this is where I grew up. This is where my mom my, cousins and family members all throughout the district are from and live. And so I've invested interest in this. And what's interesting, and I'm sure you guys are all well aware that this is the time of year where we see a lot of lives being spread. My opponent is lied about me. In fact, he's lied about himself. You know, he's lied about his military record. He lied about his rank, he's lied about his time overseas. He said he used weapons of war on the battlefield when he in fact did not. He's been questioned on this a few times. But you know, the interesting part about that is that if he's willing to lie about that, what else is he willing to lie about? And you know, you're not going to out arm me, right I'm a former Green Beret with deployments di Iraq and Afghanistan. I know what it feels like to have those bullets woods by my head. I had five of my guys killed in at Dana Stance, So you know that's the kind of person I'm going up against. The House majority is going to run through Virginia seventh District.

Derek, I'm a thanks for coming on Civil War History NERD. So I know Fredericksburg well because of the Civil War battlefield, and I know you're not far from Chancellorsville too. Yesterday we talked with Hung cow who's running for the Senate in Virginia, and you're talking about your particular district. What are you seeing. We kind of have the sense for people out there who don't know Virginia. Well, northern Virginia is the base of the Democrat Party in the state. The further you get into the south and west, the more it is the base of the Republican Party. But the races are actually decided and you can correct me if I'm wrong in the middle part of the state. What does early turnout looking like, and how do you feel about the momentum of the Republican Party in the state of Virginia overall?

Well, it's it's amazing. And we have a very diverse district, right, So my district is centered around Fredericksburg, Spotsylvania and goes east to King George and Carolines all the way out to the Potomac up north on a long ninety five to Stafford in the eastern side of Prince William and then we go west all the way out to the mountains. We've got Orange, Culpepper, Madison in Green County. So I mean, yeah, we're talking about a wide ranging district just in the heart and center of Virginia. And you know the issues that I hear every single Well, back to your previous question, early voting is amazing. I was at two early voting locations yesterday in Stafford and Prince William County. People are coming in, you know, as we're as we're sitting there, you know, there's some people that are like, hey, I see you on TV. You're that guy, which is awesome, right, and they're like, can I take a picture with you. There's some people that you know, they walk by and they come out of the voting booths or the voting area and they give you the thumbs up like I got you. So, I mean, the momentum in the enthusiasm is amazing. We're seeing the numbers, you know, at a at a high rate right now considering compared to you know, past year. So we're excited about that. And I'll be quite frank, you know, there's people that I'm meeting at the early voting vote stations, and you know, the number one thing I hear about in our district is the economy. Right here in Virginia. About a third of Virginians or living paycheck to paycheck. It's cost the average family about eleven hundred dollars more month under the current bidonomics that him and Kamala Harris put together. It's a quarter of Virginians are delinquent on their credit cards. So I mean when we're talking about voters going out to vote, people are voting with their pocketbooks, with their wallets. I get it quite often because my mom lives about fifteen minutes away from me, and so my mom feels the need to call me every single time she goes to the grocery store and she say times me and says Derek Wuire and is this expensive of my mom. I'm not in office yet, I can't. I'm trying my best to help you out, you know, so that in the border crisis is truly impacted our district. To give you just a quick one, you know, we had two illegal immigrants I saw. We have a few military installations in our in our district, including Marine Corps based Quantico. Right, we had a few months ago we had two illegal immigrants of Jordanian descent attempt to breach the front gate of Marine Corps based Quantico posing as Amazon drivers. Those two individuals you know as a Green Beret, as someone who you know, intel minded kind of person. Who are these people, who are they associated with? What were they doing? We didn't get any answers from anyone about it, and in fact, the two individuals were released on bail for seeing five people at day overdose on Sentinel in Virginia. So when we talk about the border crisis, every single state in a border state, and we're feeling the impact here in Virginia seventh Congressional District. My opponent, you know, he cares so much about the border, Vinman that he took his immigration policies off of his website. So, I mean, these are the kind of people we're dealing with. This race is going to be really important do not only maintain our majority in the House, but to also build our majority in the House so we can actually do our country back on track. So again I encourage folks to go to our website, Derekanerson dot com if they want more information to want to help us out.
