1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:02,080
Speaker 1: Maybe I'm weird, but I loved it. I mean I

2
00:00:02,120 --> 00:00:04,120
Speaker 1: loved it, almost two hours of it. Yesterday State of

3
00:00:04,200 --> 00:00:06,720
Speaker 1: the Union. Some argue a chance for the president to reset.

4
00:00:07,040 --> 00:00:09,039
Speaker 1: There were heroes and medals, plenty of hot here in

5
00:00:09,119 --> 00:00:11,560
Speaker 1: hyperbole than only Trump is capable of. Of course, as well.

6
00:00:11,600 --> 00:00:14,000
Speaker 1: John Zogby is a polster and political author, and it

7
00:00:14,040 --> 00:00:17,599
Speaker 1: is with us, John Morning, Good morning. There's a lot

8
00:00:17,640 --> 00:00:20,000
Speaker 1: to like. Take Trump out, will not Trump? Take the

9
00:00:20,000 --> 00:00:22,040
Speaker 1: politics out of it for a minute. When you see

10
00:00:22,079 --> 00:00:24,479
Speaker 1: those people, the heroes, the medals, and there's a lot

11
00:00:24,680 --> 00:00:26,280
Speaker 1: about America to like, isn't there?

12
00:00:27,400 --> 00:00:31,600
Speaker 2: Oh, there certainly is. The American people are fine, and

13
00:00:31,640 --> 00:00:34,680
Speaker 2: they go to work, they live their lives. They pay

14
00:00:34,680 --> 00:00:38,200
Speaker 2: a little bit more or a lot more, but they

15
00:00:38,360 --> 00:00:42,280
Speaker 2: deal with them. The politics are a mess right now.

16
00:00:43,080 --> 00:00:45,080
Speaker 1: I can't argue with that. The economic stuff he was

17
00:00:45,080 --> 00:00:48,599
Speaker 1: trying to sell yesterday. Is that message resonating with anybody

18
00:00:48,680 --> 00:00:51,040
Speaker 1: at the gas station, at the grocery store or not?

19
00:00:52,200 --> 00:00:55,720
Speaker 2: Do you know? It isn't. And clearly prices are down

20
00:00:55,760 --> 00:00:59,280
Speaker 2: at the gasoline station, prices of some grocery items, the

21
00:00:59,320 --> 00:01:03,160
Speaker 2: retail item are down. But for the most part, the

22
00:01:03,200 --> 00:01:08,080
Speaker 2: notion of inflation, lack of affordability, and and so on

23
00:01:08,319 --> 00:01:11,960
Speaker 2: is baked into the American psyche right now. They've lived

24
00:01:12,000 --> 00:01:15,200
Speaker 2: with it for a long time. If prices are indeed

25
00:01:15,240 --> 00:01:20,800
Speaker 2: going down in some uh in in some kinds of goods,

26
00:01:21,160 --> 00:01:24,959
Speaker 2: it's already that they are considerably higher than they were

27
00:01:25,040 --> 00:01:29,720
Speaker 2: two or three years ago. But the point is that, uh,

28
00:01:30,360 --> 00:01:34,120
Speaker 2: you know, the president uh you know, painted a rosy picture.

29
00:01:34,600 --> 00:01:39,440
Speaker 2: It was a good attempt at it, but the very

30
00:01:39,480 --> 00:01:43,640
Speaker 2: early stamp shot pulling thus far indicate that he really

31
00:01:43,640 --> 00:01:44,640
Speaker 2: hasn't persuaded him.

32
00:01:44,680 --> 00:01:46,360
Speaker 1: I was going to say this, this didn't for his

33
00:01:46,520 --> 00:01:49,480
Speaker 1: midterm objective, but this didn't move them and didn't move

34
00:01:49,520 --> 00:01:49,920
Speaker 1: the needle.

35
00:01:51,120 --> 00:01:54,040
Speaker 2: Now it didn't. I think he started out strong, he

36
00:01:54,200 --> 00:01:57,800
Speaker 2: was less combative. I think the patriotism at the end,

37
00:01:59,080 --> 00:02:02,960
Speaker 2: you know, uh kind of worked, especially for his base,

38
00:02:03,320 --> 00:02:06,720
Speaker 2: but he was very combative in the middle. He was

39
00:02:06,800 --> 00:02:12,880
Speaker 2: taunting he democrats, they were taunting back. There were aside

40
00:02:12,880 --> 00:02:15,600
Speaker 2: from the military heroes, there weren't any other heroes sitting

41
00:02:15,600 --> 00:02:21,440
Speaker 2: in those seats last night. But just a reminder of

42
00:02:22,040 --> 00:02:24,120
Speaker 2: what how degraded our politics.

43
00:02:25,160 --> 00:02:27,480
Speaker 1: It's amazed theres no questioning about that. Do you have

44
00:02:27,480 --> 00:02:29,200
Speaker 1: a view on Iran. I mean, there's a lot of

45
00:02:29,200 --> 00:02:32,120
Speaker 1: talk now he's built up a hell of a military prisons,

46
00:02:32,240 --> 00:02:34,120
Speaker 1: and you don't do that unless you're gonna do something.

47
00:02:34,120 --> 00:02:35,959
Speaker 1: And he got the loss from the Supreme Court. So

48
00:02:36,040 --> 00:02:37,640
Speaker 1: do you get a loss from the Supreme Court? You

49
00:02:37,639 --> 00:02:39,720
Speaker 1: got the polls the way they are. Does he need

50
00:02:39,760 --> 00:02:41,320
Speaker 1: Iran and some bombs to drop?

51
00:02:42,520 --> 00:02:45,080
Speaker 2: He needs something, But I don't believe it's going to

52
00:02:45,080 --> 00:02:49,320
Speaker 2: be Iran. Americans have no love affair with Iran whatsoever.

53
00:02:49,560 --> 00:02:53,480
Speaker 2: And in the last few weeks, the outright murder, to

54
00:02:53,560 --> 00:02:56,520
Speaker 2: the degree that we were able to catch it in

55
00:02:56,560 --> 00:03:02,480
Speaker 2: the news, makes Iran even less favorable in the American mind.

56
00:03:02,880 --> 00:03:06,400
Speaker 2: But depending on how the question is asked and the

57
00:03:06,520 --> 00:03:10,399
Speaker 2: level of involvement, we're talking about anywhere from forty nine

58
00:03:10,480 --> 00:03:14,560
Speaker 2: percent to seventy percent do not want any invasion of

59
00:03:14,600 --> 00:03:19,480
Speaker 2: Iran at all, whatsoever, under any circumstances.

60
00:03:19,800 --> 00:03:21,720
Speaker 1: Nice to talk to you, John, appreciate John Zogby, who's

61
00:03:21,720 --> 00:03:22,920
