A lot of people 96 00:04:35,680 --> 00:04:38,160 Speaker 1: have had some things to say about him on his 97 00:04:38,200 --> 00:04:40,880 Speaker 1: own team in the past two weeks, which have frankly, 98 00:04:40,920 --> 00:04:43,440 Speaker 1: been very frustrating and not helpful. And it's great to 99 00:04:43,480 --> 00:04:46,640 Speaker 1: see you two out there standing beside him and letting 100 00:04:46,680 --> 00:04:48,880 Speaker 1: everybody know that you believe in him, because so many 101 00:04:48,880 --> 00:04:52,320 Speaker 1: people do. You bet this is a good man. Yeah, uh, 102 00:04:52,360 --> 00:04:54,800 Speaker 1: we're there's asolutely no question in my mind. The race 103 00:04:54,880 --> 00:04:57,000 Speaker 1: is far from over too. And uh, I know these 104 00:04:57,120 --> 00:04:59,400 Speaker 1: national polls have got it all kind of one way, 105 00:04:59,400 --> 00:05:02,200 Speaker 1: but that's not what I hear. I hear it from 106 00:05:02,360 --> 00:05:04,200 Speaker 1: people I talked to, is are gonna turn out in 107 00:05:04,279 --> 00:05:06,599 Speaker 1: droves for this good fellow. And I understand there's some 108 00:05:06,640 --> 00:05:09,239 Speaker 1: guy named Zogby who's got the race at three points 109 00:05:09,320 --> 00:05:12,240 Speaker 1: three point eight past two days. I haven't seen today, 110 00:05:12,320 --> 00:05:14,560 Speaker 1: but Saturday and Sunday was at three point eight where 111 00:05:14,600 --> 00:05:16,920 Speaker 1: he done good it is and and you know, Zogby 112 00:05:16,960 --> 00:05:19,960 Speaker 1: pulls more people, and he pulls fewer Democrats than the 113 00:05:20,040 --> 00:05:22,360 Speaker 1: national Samdy, which is how he gets there. Well, let's 114 00:05:22,360 --> 00:05:28,360 Speaker 1: hope Zogby, whoever he might be, is correct, dog will 115 00:05:28,400 --> 00:05:32,640 Speaker 1: be a national hero. I think he will be. But 116 00:05:32,760 --> 00:05:35,680 Speaker 1: more than that, the other guys are gonna have been discredited. 117 00:05:35,680 --> 00:05:37,320 Speaker 1: I mean, how can you sit there and say double 118 00:05:37,320 --> 00:05:39,960 Speaker 1: digit and points like this, It's not going to be that. 119 00:05:40,200 --> 00:05:42,120 Speaker 1: I've never seen anything like it rush. I mean, every 120 00:05:42,120 --> 00:05:45,080 Speaker 1: single night on TV they've got a seventeen point bulls 121 00:05:45,200 --> 00:05:47,599 Speaker 1: or something, and yet when you're out here with the 122 00:05:47,600 --> 00:05:49,839 Speaker 1: people like you know, I am.

It's hard to believe. Well, I know 129 00:06:05,640 --> 00:06:09,520 Speaker 1: it's amazing. I've seen the candidate on TV and it 130 00:06:09,520 --> 00:06:11,360 Speaker 1: doesn't look like he is at all. In fact, looks 131 00:06:11,400 --> 00:06:13,800 Speaker 1: like he's enjoying this and isn't energize me. He is 132 00:06:13,920 --> 00:06:17,320 Speaker 1: enjoying it.
