1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:02,200 Speaker 1: Okay, so there's a new poll out on Trump. Is 2 00:00:02,240 --> 00:00:03,040 Speaker 1: that what you're telling me? 3 00:00:03,560 --> 00:00:05,800 Speaker 2: Yeah, this is a new gallup hole and it covers 4 00:00:06,160 --> 00:00:09,280 Speaker 2: quite a few things, but its overall talks about his 5 00:00:09,400 --> 00:00:13,080 Speaker 2: job approval rating. And right now he's sitting at forty percent. 6 00:00:13,320 --> 00:00:16,440 Speaker 1: That doesn't sound great. It sounds under fifty. 7 00:00:16,640 --> 00:00:20,159 Speaker 2: He picked at forty three percent earlier this year, but 8 00:00:20,280 --> 00:00:22,400 Speaker 2: it has declined slightly obviously since then. 9 00:00:22,800 --> 00:00:25,840 Speaker 1: So forty percent of Americans are approving of the job 10 00:00:26,120 --> 00:00:28,319 Speaker 1: Trump is doing. Look, and this is where I think 11 00:00:29,640 --> 00:00:33,760 Speaker 1: Trump's personality makes it very hard for him to ever 12 00:00:34,600 --> 00:00:38,680 Speaker 1: coalition build. And what I mean by that is one 13 00:00:38,720 --> 00:00:41,760 Speaker 1: of them. It's not a mistake. I don't think you 14 00:00:41,800 --> 00:00:43,839 Speaker 1: would ever be able to get through to him. Where 15 00:00:44,520 --> 00:00:48,320 Speaker 1: both times Trump has won the presidency, a huge part 16 00:00:48,800 --> 00:00:53,120 Speaker 1: of his victory was people voting against the alternative, both 17 00:00:53,159 --> 00:00:55,200 Speaker 1: with Hillary Clinton and Kamala Harris. 18 00:00:55,440 --> 00:00:57,800 Speaker 2: Rather than voting for something, they were voting against something. 19 00:00:57,840 --> 00:00:59,959 Speaker 1: And I think that now, Look, there were I think 20 00:01:00,080 --> 00:01:03,400 Speaker 1: there were quite a few shenanigans that happened in twenty twenty. 21 00:01:04,080 --> 00:01:07,000 Speaker 1: I think we've talked about the mass mail and unaccountable voting. 22 00:01:07,800 --> 00:01:09,920 Speaker 1: You can't think that you can just mail ballots to 23 00:01:09,959 --> 00:01:12,759 Speaker 1: people and not know who fills them out or sends 24 00:01:12,800 --> 00:01:15,200 Speaker 1: them back or whatever, and think that it's going to 25 00:01:15,280 --> 00:01:18,160 Speaker 1: be on the up and up. But I think one 26 00:01:18,200 --> 00:01:22,959 Speaker 1: of the reasons Biden did better against Trump is and look, 27 00:01:23,040 --> 00:01:25,800 Speaker 1: we've talked to people here who said this. I have 28 00:01:26,000 --> 00:01:29,760 Speaker 1: a ton of anecdotal evidence. In my own backyard of Indiana, 29 00:01:29,840 --> 00:01:31,800 Speaker 1: I know many people who felt this way. I don't 30 00:01:31,800 --> 00:01:33,920 Speaker 1: feel this way, but people who did is who they 31 00:01:33,959 --> 00:01:38,480 Speaker 1: saw Biden. Now, it quickly got debunked right when you 32 00:01:38,520 --> 00:01:41,160 Speaker 1: saw the guy was totally beholden to crazy people and 33 00:01:41,319 --> 00:01:45,320 Speaker 1: didn't have his faculties about him. But people, because of 34 00:01:45,360 --> 00:01:50,920 Speaker 1: the media, saw Biden as this moderate, calm, stabilizing force 35 00:01:51,040 --> 00:01:55,920 Speaker 1: where hey, he won't be too extreme but will get 36 00:01:56,240 --> 00:01:59,400 Speaker 1: some semblance of statesmanhood and normalcy back to the presidency. 37 00:01:59,680 --> 00:02:03,200 Speaker 1: Don't shoot the messenger. I'm not saying I felt that way, 38 00:02:03,440 --> 00:02:06,120 Speaker 1: but I'm telling you, and I've told the story numerous times. 39 00:02:06,240 --> 00:02:08,440 Speaker 1: It's a kid that used to work here, who was 40 00:02:08,480 --> 00:02:14,120 Speaker 1: a very very reasonable person and was an identified Republican 41 00:02:14,680 --> 00:02:16,440 Speaker 1: and goes to work each day, and I asked him 42 00:02:16,440 --> 00:02:17,920 Speaker 1: who he's going to vote for in twenty twenty. He goes, 43 00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:19,400 Speaker 1: I haven't decided yet, and I said, well, what do 44 00:02:19,480 --> 00:02:21,280 Speaker 1: you mean? He goes, well, you know, I like a 45 00:02:21,320 --> 00:02:24,960 Speaker 1: lot of Trump's policies. I hate how he handles the presidency. 46 00:02:25,240 --> 00:02:27,200 Speaker 1: And he goes, in my mind, the presidency should have 47 00:02:27,200 --> 00:02:32,160 Speaker 1: a certain level of decorum and statesmanhood and all this, 48 00:02:32,240 --> 00:02:36,200 Speaker 1: and Trump just felt had belittled for lack of a 49 00:02:36,200 --> 00:02:39,280 Speaker 1: better term than presidency. Now you and I go. Bill 50 00:02:39,280 --> 00:02:42,640 Speaker 1: Clinton has entered the chat. Thank you. But like these 51 00:02:42,720 --> 00:02:47,760 Speaker 1: people vote right, and so with Trump, he's incapable of 52 00:02:47,800 --> 00:02:53,399 Speaker 1: coalition building because he is so deliberately toxic. With this personality, 53 00:02:53,440 --> 00:02:55,160 Speaker 1: That's the phrase I would use with Trump is he 54 00:02:55,200 --> 00:02:59,760 Speaker 1: is deliberately toxic. And when you're an elected person, you 55 00:03:00,160 --> 00:03:05,440 Speaker 1: have to be able to find how ways to get 56 00:03:05,480 --> 00:03:10,320 Speaker 1: people to yes, or you're going to be in a 57 00:03:10,400 --> 00:03:13,679 Speaker 1: position where many people just won't listen to what you 58 00:03:13,800 --> 00:03:18,080 Speaker 1: have to say. And with Trump, he has chosen a 59 00:03:18,120 --> 00:03:21,720 Speaker 1: path that everything is going to be a confrontation, and 60 00:03:21,760 --> 00:03:24,520 Speaker 1: he's been somewhat successful with that. Certainly, he's won the 61 00:03:24,560 --> 00:03:26,840 Speaker 1: election twice. He's been able to get some things done. 62 00:03:26,919 --> 00:03:29,240 Speaker 1: But you can't think that the public is going to 63 00:03:29,280 --> 00:03:32,800 Speaker 1: buy the public at large, when we know how unengaged 64 00:03:32,840 --> 00:03:35,840 Speaker 1: the public the general public is. Right, we're just talking 65 00:03:35,840 --> 00:03:39,520 Speaker 1: about the data centers and the electric bill meeting, and 66 00:03:39,560 --> 00:03:41,680 Speaker 1: how the town council meetings and how hard it is 67 00:03:41,760 --> 00:03:43,880 Speaker 1: get people engaged. You can't think that those people are 68 00:03:43,920 --> 00:03:47,640 Speaker 1: going to have a good perception of you if that's 69 00:03:47,640 --> 00:03:48,680 Speaker 1: all you've given them. 70 00:03:48,520 --> 00:03:52,080 Speaker 2: To go on is his idea of coalition building, inviting 71 00:03:52,120 --> 00:03:55,560 Speaker 2: people to the Oval office and saying you really need 72 00:03:55,600 --> 00:03:56,120 Speaker 2: to do this. 73 00:03:56,440 --> 00:03:58,520 Speaker 1: Well, but that's not the public at large. You're not 74 00:03:58,560 --> 00:04:01,440 Speaker 1: getting the public at large to You're trying to strong 75 00:04:01,520 --> 00:04:05,040 Speaker 1: arm a bunch of Republican legislators in our case, to 76 00:04:05,640 --> 00:04:09,200 Speaker 1: do what you want. See getting the public buy in 77 00:04:10,040 --> 00:04:12,440 Speaker 1: would be making the case. You would take them to 78 00:04:12,520 --> 00:04:16,440 Speaker 1: them go look ab and c has happened. We believe 79 00:04:16,800 --> 00:04:22,400 Speaker 1: this has caused error or harm or whatever upon you. 80 00:04:22,600 --> 00:04:24,680 Speaker 1: The problem he has with the maps is you have 81 00:04:24,760 --> 00:04:27,640 Speaker 1: control of everything. How can you claim the system is 82 00:04:27,680 --> 00:04:30,320 Speaker 1: rigged against you when you are winning inside the system. 83 00:04:30,600 --> 00:04:34,479 Speaker 1: And that is a question they cannot answer. And so 84 00:04:34,720 --> 00:04:37,000 Speaker 1: the Big Bullcrap Bill is a great example of this. 85 00:04:37,720 --> 00:04:41,760 Speaker 1: Everybody knows, no matter what sales job is presented to them, 86 00:04:41,880 --> 00:04:45,919 Speaker 1: that there's just a bunch of crony, capitalistic donor lobbyists, 87 00:04:46,120 --> 00:04:49,119 Speaker 1: special interest giveaways in that thing. That's why it adds 88 00:04:49,120 --> 00:04:52,000 Speaker 1: so much to the debt. It's legalized vote buying. It's 89 00:04:52,000 --> 00:04:55,799 Speaker 1: picking winners and losers. Trump did a horrible job selling 90 00:04:55,839 --> 00:04:57,920 Speaker 1: this because they just kept throwing things at the end. 91 00:04:58,080 --> 00:05:02,200 Speaker 1: Oh hey, Alaska Senator, we need your vote, so we'll 92 00:05:02,240 --> 00:05:04,760 Speaker 1: exempt Alaska from all these things that everybody else had 93 00:05:04,800 --> 00:05:08,200 Speaker 1: to play by. People are going to see that, and 94 00:05:09,000 --> 00:05:13,039 Speaker 1: they're going to they're going to reject you. Now, some 95 00:05:13,160 --> 00:05:15,360 Speaker 1: anonymous guy in our YouTube chat, and I knew somebody 96 00:05:15,360 --> 00:05:16,720 Speaker 1: would do this, which is why I made the point. 97 00:05:17,080 --> 00:05:19,719 Speaker 1: It's always somebody without a name or a photo, right 98 00:05:20,240 --> 00:05:24,560 Speaker 1: rub calling somebody deliberately toxic. That's rich. I'm a radio broadcaster, 99 00:05:25,400 --> 00:05:28,160 Speaker 1: I'm not the president. When I was an elected official 100 00:05:28,360 --> 00:05:30,440 Speaker 1: and nobody cut more taxes than me as a local 101 00:05:30,480 --> 00:05:33,159 Speaker 1: elected official, I was not deliberately toxic. 102 00:05:33,160 --> 00:05:33,240 Speaker 3: Now. 103 00:05:33,279 --> 00:05:36,080 Speaker 1: I didn't take people's crap. I would push back on 104 00:05:36,120 --> 00:05:38,880 Speaker 1: people if people wanted to have a conversation, but I 105 00:05:38,960 --> 00:05:41,440 Speaker 1: was able to coalition build. It's why I got out 106 00:05:41,440 --> 00:05:43,360 Speaker 1: of it. I don't want to have to be nice 107 00:05:43,360 --> 00:05:45,200 Speaker 1: to people I don't like. I didn't want to have 108 00:05:45,360 --> 00:05:47,760 Speaker 1: to go to somebody and care about their feelings if 109 00:05:47,760 --> 00:05:50,480 Speaker 1: I thought they were being ridiculous. Yeah, I am here, 110 00:05:50,480 --> 00:05:53,479 Speaker 1: and I'm damn entertaining at it. But I also don't 111 00:05:53,480 --> 00:05:55,400 Speaker 1: want to be an elected person anymore. It's part of 112 00:05:55,440 --> 00:05:57,000 Speaker 1: why I don't want to do it anymore. It's why 113 00:05:57,000 --> 00:05:58,320 Speaker 1: I want all to be like, you should run for this, 114 00:05:58,400 --> 00:06:01,240 Speaker 1: sir governor. That no, because because I don't want to 115 00:06:01,279 --> 00:06:03,880 Speaker 1: have to play that game. And to be good at politics, 116 00:06:04,240 --> 00:06:06,360 Speaker 1: to be good at creating environment where you can not 117 00:06:06,440 --> 00:06:09,359 Speaker 1: only get your things passed, but get public buy in, 118 00:06:09,920 --> 00:06:12,960 Speaker 1: you've got to handle it in a different way than 119 00:06:13,000 --> 00:06:15,000 Speaker 1: I do or Trump does well. 120 00:06:15,120 --> 00:06:18,520 Speaker 2: One thing that Trump is definitely handling differently is his 121 00:06:18,680 --> 00:06:21,560 Speaker 2: openness to the media. He had a cabinet meeting yesterday 122 00:06:21,640 --> 00:06:24,520 Speaker 2: lasted three hours and seventeen minutes, and he had the 123 00:06:24,560 --> 00:06:29,120 Speaker 2: media there the entire time. I mean, that's more engagement 124 00:06:29,279 --> 00:06:33,040 Speaker 2: than you ever got with the buying administration in one day. 125 00:06:33,440 --> 00:06:36,839 Speaker 1: Sure, okay, but like, here's an example. I was listening. 126 00:06:37,279 --> 00:06:39,360 Speaker 1: I don't know if this was Tony's show or what 127 00:06:39,400 --> 00:06:41,040 Speaker 1: it was. It must have been Tony shows because I 128 00:06:41,120 --> 00:06:45,960 Speaker 1: was coming home from work and they're playing this press 129 00:06:46,000 --> 00:06:48,640 Speaker 1: conference of him and I joined it mid things, so 130 00:06:48,680 --> 00:06:50,600 Speaker 1: I don't know the whole background on it, but he's 131 00:06:50,600 --> 00:06:54,280 Speaker 1: someone talking about the automobile industry and it's oh, the 132 00:06:54,960 --> 00:06:58,200 Speaker 1: Teamsters guy. I saw him on TV and he was 133 00:06:58,800 --> 00:07:00,560 Speaker 1: being so nice to me, and he used to not'd 134 00:07:00,600 --> 00:07:02,560 Speaker 1: be nice to me, and all the Teamsters people they 135 00:07:02,560 --> 00:07:04,800 Speaker 1: all voted for me, and know they all blah blah blah, 136 00:07:04,839 --> 00:07:07,039 Speaker 1: and it's just like it's you you you you, you, 137 00:07:07,040 --> 00:07:09,120 Speaker 1: you you you you, and you're the best and you're 138 00:07:09,160 --> 00:07:11,120 Speaker 1: this and you've won somebody. But it's just like that 139 00:07:11,280 --> 00:07:15,920 Speaker 1: is exhausting to people. And that's fine if you don't 140 00:07:15,960 --> 00:07:20,880 Speaker 1: care about anything. You're just doing a lift myself up routine, 141 00:07:21,560 --> 00:07:25,640 Speaker 1: that's great. Whatever it's you know, it's funny, like I'm wah, 142 00:07:25,680 --> 00:07:27,880 Speaker 1: I'm driving down the road. I'm chuckling as I'm listening 143 00:07:27,960 --> 00:07:31,080 Speaker 1: to it because I know what he's doing and it's 144 00:07:31,160 --> 00:07:36,320 Speaker 1: humorous to me. But you're not going to convince people 145 00:07:37,040 --> 00:07:39,840 Speaker 1: of whatever the thing is by just continually telling them 146 00:07:40,040 --> 00:07:42,440 Speaker 1: how great you are. I'm sorry, Like it's just it's 147 00:07:42,720 --> 00:07:48,640 Speaker 1: and it's just it's just when you if the presidency 148 00:07:48,880 --> 00:07:52,880 Speaker 1: is such a powerful position, and you have such an 149 00:07:52,920 --> 00:07:55,800 Speaker 1: ability to do so many things that I hate seeing 150 00:07:56,160 --> 00:08:00,840 Speaker 1: when things don't get accomplished, or they don't get accomplished 151 00:08:00,880 --> 00:08:03,560 Speaker 1: to the level they could be, because you won't check 152 00:08:03,560 --> 00:08:04,840 Speaker 1: your personality or ear that. 153 00:08:05,200 --> 00:08:07,520 Speaker 2: They don't want to filter through the personality to look 154 00:08:07,560 --> 00:08:08,760 Speaker 2: at the policy. 155 00:08:09,200 --> 00:08:11,440 Speaker 1: Right and people can't and are not willing to do that. 156 00:08:11,520 --> 00:08:13,040 Speaker 1: And so that's why to bring all this full circle, 157 00:08:13,160 --> 00:08:14,920 Speaker 1: this is why you find the guy at forty percent. 158 00:08:16,000 --> 00:08:19,200 Speaker 1: It's with Trump, there's so much more than just his policies, 159 00:08:19,200 --> 00:08:21,240 Speaker 1: which is too bad, because while there's certainly things I 160 00:08:21,240 --> 00:08:23,440 Speaker 1: don't agree with, there are a lot of policies that 161 00:08:23,480 --> 00:08:26,040 Speaker 1: he has that I think I've been beneficial to the country. 162 00:08:26,040 --> 00:08:28,720 Speaker 1: I think the immigration stuff, I think the foreign policy 163 00:08:28,760 --> 00:08:29,120 Speaker 1: is much. 164 00:08:29,040 --> 00:08:31,320 Speaker 2: Okay, well, let's look at these. We've got numbers for that. 165 00:08:31,680 --> 00:08:34,960 Speaker 2: For the economy, he's got a thirty seven percent approval rating, 166 00:08:35,000 --> 00:08:38,120 Speaker 2: which is down five points from February, and it is 167 00:08:38,200 --> 00:08:40,480 Speaker 2: the lowest since this year. 168 00:08:40,600 --> 00:08:42,320 Speaker 1: Yeah, and that makes sense. The economy is no better 169 00:08:42,400 --> 00:08:44,280 Speaker 1: under Trump. Don't don't think I mean, do you look 170 00:08:44,280 --> 00:08:45,840 Speaker 1: at anything and go, oh my gosh, it's so much 171 00:08:45,840 --> 00:08:48,719 Speaker 1: better because Trump and his new policies are here. No, 172 00:08:49,080 --> 00:08:51,520 Speaker 1: I don't think an average person if you can eliminate 173 00:08:52,000 --> 00:08:54,400 Speaker 1: the names Biden and Trump, if you just showed them 174 00:08:54,440 --> 00:08:56,240 Speaker 1: the data on the economy, or they're how they're personally 175 00:08:56,240 --> 00:08:59,080 Speaker 1: feeling or personally experiencing things. When we go to the 176 00:08:59,080 --> 00:09:00,480 Speaker 1: grocery store, we talk all the time. 177 00:09:00,480 --> 00:09:01,800 Speaker 2: Well, and in some cases is worse. 178 00:09:01,920 --> 00:09:04,199 Speaker 1: You're right, right, if for being honest with these things 179 00:09:04,240 --> 00:09:06,440 Speaker 1: are markxperence Okay, very good, I would buy that. Okay, 180 00:09:06,559 --> 00:09:06,920 Speaker 1: go ahead. 181 00:09:06,960 --> 00:09:09,440 Speaker 2: What it was. The other one is foreign affairs thirty 182 00:09:09,520 --> 00:09:13,480 Speaker 2: nine percent approval rating, And they also did a measurement 183 00:09:13,520 --> 00:09:17,600 Speaker 2: on education, which was the first time they've measured his 184 00:09:17,640 --> 00:09:21,520 Speaker 2: approval rating on education so far this term, and he's 185 00:09:21,559 --> 00:09:22,680 Speaker 2: at thirty eight percent. 186 00:09:22,960 --> 00:09:28,160 Speaker 1: Okay, So other than other than the border and immigration, 187 00:09:28,520 --> 00:09:32,720 Speaker 1: which he gets great marks on, is there anything going 188 00:09:32,760 --> 00:09:36,679 Speaker 1: on right now that you say, well, if it weren't 189 00:09:36,720 --> 00:09:39,679 Speaker 1: for Trump, we'd be much worse off. I'm not asking 190 00:09:39,720 --> 00:09:46,920 Speaker 1: to be facetious. I'm trying to. I'm not trying to like, 191 00:09:47,360 --> 00:09:49,679 Speaker 1: I'm genuinely curious. Like I can tell you when you 192 00:09:49,720 --> 00:09:53,160 Speaker 1: talk about immigration now, he's got a major problem with 193 00:09:53,600 --> 00:09:55,760 Speaker 1: all these people that are still coming in from China 194 00:09:56,000 --> 00:09:58,000 Speaker 1: and India and these HB one VSA people and all 195 00:09:58,040 --> 00:09:59,839 Speaker 1: this other stuff. That's a major issue. But I'm saying 196 00:09:59,880 --> 00:10:01,880 Speaker 1: it in terms of I would say immigration is much better. 197 00:10:02,040 --> 00:10:04,319 Speaker 1: Is there anything in this country right now that you 198 00:10:04,360 --> 00:10:07,920 Speaker 1: would say other than immigration? If Trump weren't here, would 199 00:10:07,920 --> 00:10:09,320 Speaker 1: be so much worse off. 200 00:10:09,679 --> 00:10:12,840 Speaker 2: Well, I think he's trying to address crime and. 201 00:10:13,160 --> 00:10:15,920 Speaker 1: Wait, wait, no, no, no, in Washington, d C. Right, president 202 00:10:15,960 --> 00:10:19,720 Speaker 1: has no impact on crime elsewhere elsewhere? 203 00:10:19,880 --> 00:10:22,240 Speaker 2: Right, If nothing else, he's bringing more attention. 204 00:10:22,720 --> 00:10:25,440 Speaker 1: I think you could say it's Washington, DC is probably safer. 205 00:10:25,520 --> 00:10:26,240 Speaker 1: How does that help you? 206 00:10:27,200 --> 00:10:28,560 Speaker 2: Well, when I visit there? 207 00:10:28,679 --> 00:10:31,800 Speaker 1: Okay, I'm saying you personally in your day to day existence, like, 208 00:10:32,040 --> 00:10:33,360 Speaker 1: how does it has it help you? 209 00:10:34,440 --> 00:10:38,600 Speaker 2: Well, it doesn't exactly other than it's you know, being 210 00:10:38,640 --> 00:10:42,640 Speaker 2: talked about more.

No, I mean they're doing things and it's fine. 224 00:11:17,920 --> 00:11:19,360 Speaker 1: What I'm trying I'm not trying to be difficult with this, 225 00:11:19,400 --> 00:11:22,080 Speaker 1: but what I'm trying to say is there there's just nothing. 226 00:11:22,760 --> 00:11:25,160 Speaker 1: I'm not surprised his approval rating is this low because 227 00:11:25,200 --> 00:11:30,480 Speaker 1: other than immigration, which is a split issue anyway, there's 228 00:11:30,600 --> 00:11:34,960 Speaker 1: just not There's just not anything Trump's doing.
