1 00:00:00,760 --> 00:00:03,040 Speaker 1: All right, thanks Scott Shannon, and thanks to all of 2 00:00:03,080 --> 00:00:04,960 Speaker 1: you for being well us. Here's our toll free number. 3 00:00:04,960 --> 00:00:08,160 Speaker 1: It's eight hundred nine four one, Sean if you want 4 00:00:08,200 --> 00:00:10,720 Speaker 1: to be a part of the program. It is election 5 00:00:10,920 --> 00:00:13,520 Speaker 1: day in America, yes, and off your election, but an 6 00:00:13,560 --> 00:00:20,040 Speaker 1: important one nonetheless, And anyway, people headed to the polls 7 00:00:20,079 --> 00:00:23,520 Speaker 1: in a number of key matchups around the country. The 8 00:00:23,640 --> 00:00:27,080 Speaker 1: one I'm personally paying the most attention to as out 9 00:00:27,080 --> 00:00:31,760 Speaker 1: of the Commonwealth of Virginia, but we also have Kentucky 10 00:00:31,960 --> 00:00:36,640 Speaker 1: and Mississippi and Ohio and Pennsylvania. There's a special congressional 11 00:00:36,720 --> 00:00:41,640 Speaker 1: election in Rhode Island, you know, pitting one individual that 12 00:00:41,680 --> 00:00:44,879 Speaker 1: appears to be a shoe in. But if you know, 13 00:00:45,560 --> 00:00:50,000 Speaker 1: if the person fails and big in the district that 14 00:00:50,080 --> 00:00:52,959 Speaker 1: went for Biden by thirty percentage points, his party will 15 00:00:53,000 --> 00:00:58,160 Speaker 1: have some serious reassessment to do. What's most interesting about Virginia, 16 00:00:58,240 --> 00:01:01,160 Speaker 1: And I'm going to be very blunt here, Virginia was 17 00:01:01,720 --> 00:01:05,000 Speaker 1: long out of my mind, you know for a long time, 18 00:01:05,720 --> 00:01:09,160 Speaker 1: uh as as more and more of the Washington swamp 19 00:01:09,200 --> 00:01:13,240 Speaker 1: and sewer was moving into northern Virginia. You know, you obviously, 20 00:01:13,280 --> 00:01:16,000 Speaker 1: the people working for the federal government DC itself is 21 00:01:16,560 --> 00:01:18,320 Speaker 1: you know, I think five percent of the people in 22 00:01:18,400 --> 00:01:21,000 Speaker 1: DC voted for Donald Trump. It just has not been 23 00:01:21,640 --> 00:01:26,039 Speaker 1: Republican friendly territory. And and they've moved in mass to 24 00:01:26,160 --> 00:01:28,920 Speaker 1: northern Virginia and they make the commute from northern Virginia 25 00:01:28,959 --> 00:01:32,319 Speaker 1: to d C. And that has just made the Commonwealth 26 00:01:32,360 --> 00:01:35,280 Speaker 1: of Virginia bluer and bluer and bluer. And then out 27 00:01:35,280 --> 00:01:38,280 Speaker 1: of nowhere comes this guy, Glenn Youngkin, and he kind 28 00:01:38,319 --> 00:01:40,319 Speaker 1: of shocked the world. And I give him a lot 29 00:01:40,319 --> 00:01:44,520 Speaker 1: of credit. He ran a great campaign and and lo 30 00:01:44,600 --> 00:01:46,640 Speaker 1: and b again not only won, he won by a 31 00:01:46,680 --> 00:01:50,520 Speaker 1: pretty big margin against you know, somebody that's not particularly 32 00:01:50,960 --> 00:01:53,800 Speaker 1: inexperienced in the by the name of Terry mcculloff, who 33 00:01:53,800 --> 00:01:55,920 Speaker 1: had been previously had been governor. 34 00:01:56,680 --> 00:01:59,160 Speaker 2: And uh, anyway, Youngkin won that race. 35 00:01:59,360 --> 00:02:01,280 Speaker 1: A lot of it had to do with Loudon County 36 00:02:01,560 --> 00:02:06,960 Speaker 1: and educating our kids and woke agendas and CRT and 37 00:02:07,000 --> 00:02:11,519 Speaker 1: all that. And it's interesting to watch now Youngin is 38 00:02:11,560 --> 00:02:14,239 Speaker 1: halfway through his four year term. You don't get consecutive 39 00:02:14,440 --> 00:02:18,560 Speaker 1: consecutive terms as governor in the Commonwealth of Virginia, and 40 00:02:18,600 --> 00:02:21,960 Speaker 1: he wants the next two years of his governorship to 41 00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:24,880 Speaker 1: be productive. I've had him on TV a number of times. 42 00:02:24,880 --> 00:02:27,600 Speaker 1: We even had him on last night, and he has 43 00:02:27,720 --> 00:02:32,480 Speaker 1: been at the forefront, thankfully, of pushing that which I 44 00:02:32,560 --> 00:02:35,680 Speaker 1: have been telling you, which is Republicans have got to 45 00:02:35,760 --> 00:02:39,720 Speaker 1: get over their reluctance and their resistance to voting early, 46 00:02:39,880 --> 00:02:43,680 Speaker 1: voting by mail. I don't think it's an issue in Virginia. 47 00:02:43,720 --> 00:02:45,400 Speaker 1: Otherwise I'm sure he would have brought it up. But 48 00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:49,320 Speaker 1: in about half the states there's something called legal ballot 49 00:02:49,320 --> 00:02:52,360 Speaker 1: harvesting to find as somebody else actually handing in another 50 00:02:52,440 --> 00:02:58,000 Speaker 1: person's ballot, and Democrats have mastered that technique. But if 51 00:02:58,040 --> 00:03:02,680 Speaker 1: Republicans don't just and conservatives don't adjust it thinking on 52 00:03:03,280 --> 00:03:06,840 Speaker 1: how they approach voting, and they don't start voting early, now, 53 00:03:06,840 --> 00:03:10,919 Speaker 1: I will tell you it's very successful. In Florida. Republicans 54 00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:14,200 Speaker 1: vote early. In Florida. Republicans have no problem. Conservatives have 55 00:03:14,280 --> 00:03:18,240 Speaker 1: no problem in Florida voting by mail. And guess what 56 00:03:18,680 --> 00:03:21,320 Speaker 1: you know, by no time you get the results of 57 00:03:21,360 --> 00:03:25,440 Speaker 1: the election because they're actually counting the votes as the 58 00:03:25,520 --> 00:03:27,280 Speaker 1: votes are coming in, which is smart. 59 00:03:27,320 --> 00:03:29,000 Speaker 2: A lot of states are too stupid to do that. 60 00:03:29,040 --> 00:03:30,240 Speaker 2: They wait till the polls close. 61 00:03:31,080 --> 00:03:34,800 Speaker 1: So anyway, so Glenn Youngkin has put a lot on 62 00:03:34,840 --> 00:03:37,320 Speaker 1: the line right now. If you look at the House 63 00:03:37,360 --> 00:03:41,520 Speaker 1: of Delegates, there is a five seat majority four Republicans 64 00:03:41,520 --> 00:03:45,440 Speaker 1: in Virginia, yet they have in the Senate, they have 65 00:03:45,480 --> 00:03:49,800 Speaker 1: a five seed deficit. So Glenn Youngkin has been out 66 00:03:49,840 --> 00:03:54,160 Speaker 1: there recruiting candidates, He's been campaigning for candidates. He really 67 00:03:54,160 --> 00:03:56,120 Speaker 1: thinks this is coming down to loud In County. He 68 00:03:56,200 --> 00:03:58,200 Speaker 1: really does. He thinks loud In County is going to 69 00:03:58,240 --> 00:04:02,480 Speaker 1: be very critical. So as you're watching coverage tonight and 70 00:04:02,920 --> 00:04:07,119 Speaker 1: I'll be on nine Eastern with our coverage, that's probably 71 00:04:07,160 --> 00:04:09,080 Speaker 1: going to be the one thing that I'm looking at 72 00:04:09,120 --> 00:04:12,560 Speaker 1: the most here. But he's trying to win a majority 73 00:04:12,840 --> 00:04:17,480 Speaker 1: of the legislature. And again, the Democrats have a five 74 00:04:17,560 --> 00:04:20,360 Speaker 1: seat edge in the Senate, Republicans have a five seat 75 00:04:20,480 --> 00:04:24,400 Speaker 1: edge in the House of Delegates. And the election, you know, 76 00:04:24,480 --> 00:04:26,880 Speaker 1: many are saying that it'll be a referendum on Youngkin. 77 00:04:27,040 --> 00:04:30,600 Speaker 1: I don't go that far. If he wins, I think 78 00:04:30,680 --> 00:04:32,560 Speaker 1: he should get a lot of the credit. For sure. 79 00:04:33,160 --> 00:04:35,360 Speaker 1: He was part of the recruiting process of a lot 80 00:04:35,360 --> 00:04:38,640 Speaker 1: of these candidates and he went all in to go 81 00:04:38,760 --> 00:04:43,440 Speaker 1: out and campaign and support these candidates, and he's advanced 82 00:04:43,480 --> 00:04:47,880 Speaker 1: a series of executive actions on education, criminal justice, signing 83 00:04:47,920 --> 00:04:51,160 Speaker 1: billions of dollars in tax cuts. The economy under Youngkin 84 00:04:51,200 --> 00:04:53,679 Speaker 1: in two years has gone from one of the worst 85 00:04:53,680 --> 00:04:55,680 Speaker 1: in the country to one of the best in the country. 86 00:04:56,240 --> 00:05:00,440 Speaker 1: But Republican victories would heighten speculation. I guess too that Youngin, 87 00:05:01,200 --> 00:05:03,680 Speaker 1: you know, might get into the presidential race. You know 88 00:05:03,720 --> 00:05:05,720 Speaker 1: what I've in all the times I've interviewed him, and 89 00:05:05,760 --> 00:05:07,599 Speaker 1: I have asked him the question, I've not gotten the 90 00:05:07,600 --> 00:05:10,160 Speaker 1: impression that that's at the top of his list. The 91 00:05:10,160 --> 00:05:14,039 Speaker 1: top of his list has been and remains focused on 92 00:05:14,200 --> 00:05:18,120 Speaker 1: today's election in Virginia. If you're in Loudon County, if 93 00:05:18,160 --> 00:05:20,520 Speaker 1: you're in any part of Virginia and you haven't voted yet, 94 00:05:20,800 --> 00:05:22,359 Speaker 1: you may want to get out and vote before the 95 00:05:22,360 --> 00:05:26,640 Speaker 1: polls close. We're also watching the great State of Kentucky 96 00:05:26,680 --> 00:05:31,839 Speaker 1: with the Attorney General Daniel Cameron, recently received an endorsement 97 00:05:31,839 --> 00:05:34,679 Speaker 1: from President Trump in a pretty heated race to unsee 98 00:05:34,760 --> 00:05:40,120 Speaker 1: Democrat Andy Bashir there. Bashir narrowly won a first term 99 00:05:40,120 --> 00:05:42,120 Speaker 1: in twenty nineteen, but is now one of the most 100 00:05:42,160 --> 00:05:45,520 Speaker 1: popular governors in the country, earning support from around half 101 00:05:45,560 --> 00:05:48,880 Speaker 1: of the state's Republicans. So that's going to be a tough, 102 00:05:49,000 --> 00:05:51,240 Speaker 1: uphill battle for camera. And I'm just trying. I'm giving 103 00:05:51,279 --> 00:05:53,640 Speaker 1: you the realistic picture. I don't We're not going to 104 00:05:53,680 --> 00:05:58,040 Speaker 1: sugarcoat anything here. But Cameron and Republicans have attacked ashear 105 00:05:59,279 --> 00:06:02,760 Speaker 1: for his endorsement of a second Biden term, betting at 106 00:06:02,760 --> 00:06:06,240 Speaker 1: the president's high unfavorability rate will drag down the Democrats 107 00:06:06,240 --> 00:06:08,480 Speaker 1: in a state that went big for Trump in twenty twenty. 108 00:06:08,560 --> 00:06:11,400 Speaker 1: Let's see what happens there. We're watching the state of 109 00:06:11,440 --> 00:06:15,680 Speaker 1: Mississippi tonight, where Republican Governor Tate Reeves is running for 110 00:06:15,720 --> 00:06:20,400 Speaker 1: a second term, pretty red state where he leads by 111 00:06:21,080 --> 00:06:25,800 Speaker 1: as of now single digits. They've not elected a Democratic 112 00:06:25,800 --> 00:06:33,160 Speaker 1: governor in Mississippi since nineteen ninety nine. Courts put stay 113 00:06:33,200 --> 00:06:36,680 Speaker 1: the course and Democrats are counting on changes in voting 114 00:06:36,720 --> 00:06:40,560 Speaker 1: regulations and the name recognition of their candidates. Some guy 115 00:06:40,560 --> 00:06:45,599 Speaker 1: by the name of Brandon Presley, distant cousin of Elvis Presley. Gee, 116 00:06:45,640 --> 00:06:48,080 Speaker 1: that's a qualification to be an elected official. 117 00:06:48,160 --> 00:06:48,360 Speaker 2: Right. 118 00:06:49,080 --> 00:06:52,880 Speaker 1: We're watching other issues in Ohio today voters are considering 119 00:06:52,880 --> 00:06:56,359 Speaker 1: two ballot initiatives, one of which will determine if the 120 00:06:56,440 --> 00:07:01,200 Speaker 1: state will have a constitutional protection for abortion. The proposed 121 00:07:01,200 --> 00:07:04,960 Speaker 1: amendment would change the state constitution to grant a quote 122 00:07:05,080 --> 00:07:09,760 Speaker 1: right to one's own reproductive medical treatment and ban authorities 123 00:07:09,760 --> 00:07:19,000 Speaker 1: from directly or indirectly burdening, penalizing, prohibiting abortion before fetal viability. 124 00:07:19,200 --> 00:07:23,280 Speaker 1: I'm not sure if science is even you know, gathered 125 00:07:23,920 --> 00:07:25,880 Speaker 1: or gotten to a point of full consensus on it, 126 00:07:25,960 --> 00:07:29,680 Speaker 1: but anyway, that's what's on the ballot. In Pennsylvania, Democrats 127 00:07:29,720 --> 00:07:33,000 Speaker 1: hold a four to two majority on the Supreme Court, 128 00:07:33,920 --> 00:07:39,760 Speaker 1: with a seventh seat up for grabs, and GOP candidate 129 00:07:40,720 --> 00:07:46,640 Speaker 1: Carolyn Carluccio will be challenging the Democrat Daniel McCaffrey. The 130 00:07:46,760 --> 00:07:49,720 Speaker 1: race will shed light on Republican's prospects there. In twenty 131 00:07:49,800 --> 00:07:55,640 Speaker 1: twenty four, after Biden narrowly won, there was so disheartening 132 00:07:55,680 --> 00:08:00,520 Speaker 1: about in my analysis posts analysis in twenty two two 133 00:08:00,840 --> 00:08:03,400 Speaker 1: is you know, it was late in the game when 134 00:08:03,440 --> 00:08:06,840 Speaker 1: I had heard that Doug Mastriano didn't have exceptions for 135 00:08:06,960 --> 00:08:09,840 Speaker 1: rape insists in the mother's life. He lost by the 136 00:08:09,960 --> 00:08:14,920 Speaker 1: largest percentage of vote, and Linda this is your home state, 137 00:08:17,040 --> 00:08:19,960 Speaker 1: but the largest percentage of the vote against the non 138 00:08:19,960 --> 00:08:24,640 Speaker 1: incumbent now Governor Shapiro since the nineteen forties. And I 139 00:08:24,680 --> 00:08:26,840 Speaker 1: believe abortion played a big part in it. If you 140 00:08:26,920 --> 00:08:29,440 Speaker 1: want to know why, the number one reason why I 141 00:08:29,520 --> 00:08:34,120 Speaker 1: think that Republicans did not perform at the expected levels 142 00:08:34,160 --> 00:08:36,160 Speaker 1: in twenty twenty two. I think abortion was a big 143 00:08:36,200 --> 00:08:38,640 Speaker 1: part of it. I think a lot of people. First 144 00:08:38,640 --> 00:08:42,320 Speaker 1: it was demagogue by the Democrats, and they basically were 145 00:08:42,320 --> 00:08:45,360 Speaker 1: saying Republicans don't want abortion. That's not what the Dobbs 146 00:08:45,400 --> 00:08:48,440 Speaker 1: decision was about. The Dobbs decision was out of Mississippi. 147 00:08:48,480 --> 00:08:52,680 Speaker 1: The Dobbs decision was a fifteen week abortion ban. After 148 00:08:52,720 --> 00:08:57,199 Speaker 1: that point, that's well beyond, you know, the first trimester, 149 00:08:58,120 --> 00:09:02,199 Speaker 1: and anyway, it seems to be consensus wise, first trimester, 150 00:09:02,320 --> 00:09:05,840 Speaker 1: fifteen weeks seems to be where the country is. However, 151 00:09:05,920 --> 00:09:08,280 Speaker 1: it's a state issue. It is not going to be 152 00:09:08,320 --> 00:09:10,960 Speaker 1: a federal issue. When I was interviewing the new Speaker 153 00:09:11,000 --> 00:09:13,880 Speaker 1: of the House, Johnson, I asked him, Okay, these are 154 00:09:13,880 --> 00:09:16,320 Speaker 1: the things you've said about gay marriage, these are the 155 00:09:16,360 --> 00:09:18,760 Speaker 1: things you've said about abortion. Will any of these issues 156 00:09:18,760 --> 00:09:22,040 Speaker 1: come before this House that you're leading, and he said 157 00:09:22,040 --> 00:09:25,800 Speaker 1: absolutely not, because it's settled law. He's also a constitutional attorney, 158 00:09:26,320 --> 00:09:28,559 Speaker 1: and then he went on to explain in great detail 159 00:09:28,559 --> 00:09:31,839 Speaker 1: why it wouldn't be a big deal. So anyway, we'll 160 00:09:31,880 --> 00:09:35,959 Speaker 1: be watching a lot of that tonight. I'm not sure 161 00:09:36,000 --> 00:09:37,680 Speaker 1: what we'll know by the time I get on the 162 00:09:37,679 --> 00:09:41,439 Speaker 1: air at nine Eastern tonight, but we'll have our coverage regardless. 163 00:09:42,320 --> 00:09:47,000 Speaker 1: By the way, programming note for this show today, Mosab 164 00:09:47,240 --> 00:09:52,920 Speaker 1: Hassan Yousev, he's been on this program before, Palestinian author 165 00:09:52,960 --> 00:09:57,000 Speaker 1: of what was the bestseller book Son of Hamas, the 166 00:09:57,040 --> 00:09:59,160 Speaker 1: guy who grew up as the son of one of 167 00:09:59,200 --> 00:10:04,559 Speaker 1: Hamas's leaders in the West Bank and then worked as 168 00:10:04,600 --> 00:10:10,920 Speaker 1: a double agent for Israeli intelligence people. And anyway, he 169 00:10:11,000 --> 00:10:13,280 Speaker 1: knows the whole truth about Hamas. He's got a lot 170 00:10:13,320 --> 00:10:16,880 Speaker 1: of insight, and I think it's stuff that people really 171 00:10:16,920 --> 00:10:20,600 Speaker 1: need to hear. There's a lot going on in terms 172 00:10:20,679 --> 00:10:24,240 Speaker 1: of the back and forth. The reaction by the left 173 00:10:24,320 --> 00:10:26,760 Speaker 1: to the polling that came out from the New York 174 00:10:26,840 --> 00:10:31,760 Speaker 1: Times that showed Donald Trump beating Joe Biden in five 175 00:10:31,800 --> 00:10:35,320 Speaker 1: out of six swing states and only down by two 176 00:10:35,360 --> 00:10:40,000 Speaker 1: in Wisconsin, has scared the hell out of everybody. I mean, 177 00:10:40,080 --> 00:10:44,439 Speaker 1: Democrats are just freaking out, and you know they've got 178 00:10:44,440 --> 00:10:47,280 Speaker 1: a look. I guess at any time Jo can say 179 00:10:47,280 --> 00:10:49,439 Speaker 1: he's not gonna run or accept the nomination. I guess 180 00:10:49,480 --> 00:10:53,680 Speaker 1: he could probably do it, you know, next year when 181 00:10:53,840 --> 00:10:57,839 Speaker 1: the DNC convention takes place. I don't know, but every 182 00:10:57,920 --> 00:11:01,320 Speaker 1: indication is he wants to stay in. But anyway, this 183 00:11:01,440 --> 00:11:04,079 Speaker 1: pole is certainly not good news for Biden, and this 184 00:11:04,200 --> 00:11:08,120 Speaker 1: certainly wasn't great news for Kamala Harris, who actually fared 185 00:11:08,160 --> 00:11:12,319 Speaker 1: worse than Joe. But and you know, people are trying 186 00:11:12,520 --> 00:11:16,240 Speaker 1: to understand something here. This is not that difficult to 187 00:11:16,320 --> 00:11:19,960 Speaker 1: figure out. And it's you know, to the mob, the media, 188 00:11:20,760 --> 00:11:23,760 Speaker 1: they're not understanding something here. And it's and I think 189 00:11:23,800 --> 00:11:25,560 Speaker 1: a lot of it is because they're out of touch 190 00:11:26,080 --> 00:11:30,679 Speaker 1: with everyday people. All I do is talk to you know, 191 00:11:30,840 --> 00:11:34,280 Speaker 1: Americans that I meet in Target, in my grocery store. 192 00:11:34,679 --> 00:11:36,280 Speaker 1: By the way, Linda, I got another what are you 193 00:11:36,320 --> 00:11:38,560 Speaker 1: doing here?

You know, they 298 00:16:30,880 --> 00:16:36,280 Speaker 1: do perceptual studies. I have read them about me, you know, 299 00:16:36,840 --> 00:16:40,000 Speaker 1: a big part of my career. I mean, I'll never forget. 300 00:16:40,000 --> 00:16:43,640 Speaker 1: I knew one took place in Atlanta and when I 301 00:16:43,680 --> 00:16:46,760 Speaker 1: was a local host, and all I knew is that 302 00:16:46,880 --> 00:16:52,680 Speaker 1: the program director started telling me specific things that he 303 00:16:52,800 --> 00:16:55,200 Speaker 1: that he wanted me to do. And I'm like, well, 304 00:16:55,680 --> 00:16:58,840 Speaker 1: why am I hearing this now? I never didn't understand. 305 00:16:58,880 --> 00:17:02,120 Speaker 1: Then I think out that they had done a big 306 00:17:02,640 --> 00:17:07,240 Speaker 1: perceptual study or a big focus group study, and I 307 00:17:07,280 --> 00:17:08,879 Speaker 1: asked if they would share it with me, and they 308 00:17:08,960 --> 00:17:09,399 Speaker 1: said no. 309 00:17:10,640 --> 00:17:12,680 Speaker 2: I'm like, well, that's kind of crappy. 310 00:17:13,000 --> 00:17:14,399 Speaker 1: I mean, how am I going to learn how to 311 00:17:14,400 --> 00:17:16,159 Speaker 1: be a better host if I don't listen to what 312 00:17:16,400 --> 00:17:19,440 Speaker 1: people that are listening to the show when asked about 313 00:17:19,480 --> 00:17:20,800 Speaker 1: the show or saying about the show. 314 00:17:21,720 --> 00:17:23,040 Speaker 2: Anyway, long story. 315 00:17:22,800 --> 00:17:27,880 Speaker 1: Short, I knew where there was a copy of one 316 00:17:27,920 --> 00:17:31,280 Speaker 1: of the studies, and I just happened to be in 317 00:17:31,320 --> 00:17:34,679 Speaker 1: the radio station late one night and I just happened 318 00:17:34,680 --> 00:17:35,200 Speaker 1: to go in the. 319 00:17:35,200 --> 00:17:36,720 Speaker 2: Room where the book was. 320 00:17:36,800 --> 00:17:41,800 Speaker 1: It was a big binded book, bound book, and I 321 00:17:42,960 --> 00:17:46,160 Speaker 1: read it cover to cover and there were a lot 322 00:17:46,200 --> 00:17:49,560 Speaker 1: of things that I learned and what I learned about. 323 00:17:49,600 --> 00:17:54,119 Speaker 1: And I've seen many many focus group studies on me 324 00:17:54,280 --> 00:17:58,120 Speaker 1: over the years, and what's funny about people that are 325 00:17:58,119 --> 00:18:01,040 Speaker 1: on air, a lot of them can't handle it. They 326 00:18:01,160 --> 00:18:05,080 Speaker 1: can't read things that are negative about themselves without it 327 00:18:05,160 --> 00:18:08,240 Speaker 1: affecting them. I didn't really look at it that way, 328 00:18:08,720 --> 00:18:12,399 Speaker 1: and when I discovered and it became more solidified in 329 00:18:12,480 --> 00:18:15,439 Speaker 1: my thinking over the years, is that you know, people 330 00:18:15,520 --> 00:18:17,840 Speaker 1: will shout at you if you're. 331 00:18:17,600 --> 00:18:20,919 Speaker 2: Doing things on air that they don't like. 332 00:18:21,920 --> 00:18:25,840 Speaker 1: And then if you actually listen to the constructive criticism 333 00:18:26,400 --> 00:18:29,080 Speaker 1: of people that are really, really honest. Now, people in 334 00:18:29,160 --> 00:18:32,760 Speaker 1: focus groups, people that are sitting in a room and 335 00:18:32,800 --> 00:18:36,399 Speaker 1: being asked specific questions about either a politician or on 336 00:18:36,520 --> 00:18:40,840 Speaker 1: air talent, whatever, they're brutally honest. And the thing that 337 00:18:40,960 --> 00:18:43,360 Speaker 1: was most valuable to me was when I would read 338 00:18:43,359 --> 00:18:47,040 Speaker 1: what's called verbatims, and that is people just speaking from 339 00:18:47,119 --> 00:18:50,400 Speaker 1: their heart and saying I like him, I like his politics, 340 00:18:50,400 --> 00:18:52,920 Speaker 1: but I can't stand that he interrupts his guest too much, 341 00:18:53,320 --> 00:18:56,760 Speaker 1: which was a very big criticism, especially earlier in my career. 342 00:18:56,760 --> 00:18:59,160 Speaker 1: I still occasionally get it. Although I've gotten so much 343 00:18:59,200 --> 00:19:02,440 Speaker 1: better at it, I don't get credit for it, which 344 00:19:02,480 --> 00:19:08,360 Speaker 1: frustrates me because I really do try to let conversations breathe. Anyway, 345 00:19:09,160 --> 00:19:12,000 Speaker 1: So I sat there and I read it all. Eventually, 346 00:19:12,400 --> 00:19:14,359 Speaker 1: after I left the station, I stayed in touch with 347 00:19:14,400 --> 00:19:17,000 Speaker 1: Slugo was the program director at the time, and I 348 00:19:17,040 --> 00:19:19,240 Speaker 1: shared the story with him that I did that. He 349 00:19:19,280 --> 00:19:23,000 Speaker 1: said he basically he couldn't believe I did it, but 350 00:19:23,080 --> 00:19:23,879 Speaker 1: it's a true story. 351 00:19:23,920 --> 00:19:24,520 Speaker 2: I did do it. 352 00:19:25,520 --> 00:19:31,040 Speaker 1: And from that point on, I actually sought out research 353 00:19:31,240 --> 00:19:35,480 Speaker 1: like this because I learned a lot from my audience 354 00:19:35,600 --> 00:19:38,439 Speaker 1: on how to be a better host. A lot of 355 00:19:39,840 --> 00:19:42,240 Speaker 1: a lot of people can't handle that. In politics, a 356 00:19:42,240 --> 00:19:44,919 Speaker 1: lot of politicians can't handle it. Now, what is this 357 00:19:45,040 --> 00:19:47,200 Speaker 1: leading up to? I read this piech that was really 358 00:19:47,200 --> 00:19:51,320 Speaker 1: interesting today in Politico, and you know, for example, the 359 00:19:51,440 --> 00:19:57,199 Speaker 1: issue dealt with ads that were produced that focused on 360 00:19:57,400 --> 00:20:01,359 Speaker 1: Donald Trump's legal problems. These ads were put together by 361 00:20:01,359 --> 00:20:06,480 Speaker 1: an anti Trump group and to sum it up, all 362 00:20:06,520 --> 00:20:10,040 Speaker 1: of the ads they created about Donald Trump that focused 363 00:20:10,040 --> 00:20:14,159 Speaker 1: on his legal problems, none of them worked. It didn't 364 00:20:14,240 --> 00:20:17,879 Speaker 1: resonate with the people in the focus group. So the 365 00:20:18,000 --> 00:20:21,160 Speaker 1: question is, well, how will Donald Trump's legal problems impact 366 00:20:21,160 --> 00:20:24,280 Speaker 1: his chances to win the twenty twenty four election. Now, 367 00:20:24,400 --> 00:20:26,560 Speaker 1: I brought this up last night on the TV show 368 00:20:27,800 --> 00:20:29,959 Speaker 1: What We had Governor DeSantis on and I asked him, 369 00:20:30,000 --> 00:20:32,960 Speaker 1: I said, Okay, you see the polls, and I said, 370 00:20:32,960 --> 00:20:37,320 Speaker 1: by any objective analysis, every time Donald Trump now has 371 00:20:37,359 --> 00:20:40,560 Speaker 1: been arrested in a reigned four separate times, by the way, 372 00:20:41,080 --> 00:20:43,880 Speaker 1: in jurisdictions that hate him, and I would argue he's 373 00:20:43,880 --> 00:20:46,720 Speaker 1: going to have probably be convicted in at least three 374 00:20:46,760 --> 00:20:50,240 Speaker 1: of them. I don't believe myself that Donald Trump can 375 00:20:50,280 --> 00:20:51,920 Speaker 1: get a fair trial in New York. I just don't 376 00:20:51,960 --> 00:20:54,119 Speaker 1: believe it. I don't believe you get a fair trial 377 00:20:54,119 --> 00:20:56,240 Speaker 1: in Washington, DC either. I don't believe you get a 378 00:20:56,280 --> 00:20:59,240 Speaker 1: fair trial. And I lived in Georgia, in Fulton County, Georgia. 379 00:21:00,520 --> 00:21:02,720 Speaker 1: I think Florida he might have a better shot, but 380 00:21:03,440 --> 00:21:06,480 Speaker 1: I think his best chances are going to be on appeal. 381 00:21:07,040 --> 00:21:09,640 Speaker 1: I mean, this civil case going on in New York 382 00:21:09,760 --> 00:21:13,800 Speaker 1: is a joke. This judge is a joke. It's, you know, 383 00:21:13,880 --> 00:21:17,119 Speaker 1: the idea that he's clinging to this idiotic notion that 384 00:21:17,200 --> 00:21:21,439 Speaker 1: Mara a Lago's eighteen million dollars is laughable. But regardless, 385 00:21:21,440 --> 00:21:23,000 Speaker 1: and then when he said yesterday I don't want to 386 00:21:23,000 --> 00:21:25,600 Speaker 1: hear from the person on the stand. I'm not here 387 00:21:25,640 --> 00:21:28,000 Speaker 1: to listen to that person. I'm like, yeah, that's kind 388 00:21:28,000 --> 00:21:30,960 Speaker 1: of what your job is. You listen to the answers. 389 00:21:31,640 --> 00:21:35,320 Speaker 1: Long story short. Politico puts this piece out today. It's 390 00:21:35,359 --> 00:21:40,399 Speaker 1: an anti Trump group. In late September, they opposed Donald Trump, 391 00:21:40,480 --> 00:21:44,760 Speaker 1: and they were testing four specific TV ads aimed to 392 00:21:44,920 --> 00:21:49,760 Speaker 1: weaken the former president by focusing on the central issue 393 00:21:49,760 --> 00:21:53,119 Speaker 1: of his campaign in their minds, which is the myriad 394 00:21:53,160 --> 00:21:57,160 Speaker 1: of legal troubles that he has now. One spot, which 395 00:21:57,240 --> 00:22:01,520 Speaker 1: was surveyed before an online panel of Republican primary voters, 396 00:22:01,560 --> 00:22:05,480 Speaker 1: declare that the indictments against Trump had warned him down 397 00:22:06,160 --> 00:22:10,080 Speaker 1: and undercut his ability to win the election. A second 398 00:22:10,200 --> 00:22:13,840 Speaker 1: ad said that the trials presented quote too much baggage 399 00:22:14,320 --> 00:22:19,280 Speaker 1: and warned that Democrats would sensationalize them to hurt Donald 400 00:22:19,320 --> 00:22:23,040 Speaker 1: Trump as as a candidate for president. The hardest hitting 401 00:22:23,040 --> 00:22:27,600 Speaker 1: commercial raised the specter that Trump would be convicted, leading 402 00:22:27,600 --> 00:22:29,480 Speaker 1: President Joe Biden to quote. 403 00:22:29,200 --> 00:22:30,479 Speaker 2: Cruise to re election. 404 00:22:31,720 --> 00:22:34,360 Speaker 1: All of the ads at the ads at the end 405 00:22:34,400 --> 00:22:38,439 Speaker 1: of the day shared only one thing in common beyond 406 00:22:38,440 --> 00:22:42,320 Speaker 1: the topic of which they all focused. They all failed 407 00:22:42,600 --> 00:22:47,320 Speaker 1: or they actually backfired. Now, think about on paper, if 408 00:22:47,359 --> 00:22:50,479 Speaker 1: I would have told you two years ago that you're 409 00:22:50,520 --> 00:22:54,439 Speaker 1: going to have a presidential front runner that is going 410 00:22:54,480 --> 00:22:58,840 Speaker 1: to be arrested four times and indicted four times, and 411 00:22:59,560 --> 00:23:03,600 Speaker 1: arraigned four times and be on trial four times in 412 00:23:03,640 --> 00:23:07,960 Speaker 1: an election year, you know you would you think that 413 00:23:07,960 --> 00:23:11,000 Speaker 1: that person after every arrest, would you believe that their 414 00:23:11,000 --> 00:23:15,040 Speaker 1: poll numbers were likely to go up? Because I'm arguing that, 415 00:23:15,840 --> 00:23:22,119 Speaker 1: you know, all conventional thinking, all conventional wisdom about elections. 416 00:23:22,119 --> 00:23:25,199 Speaker 1: I thought, I knew everything would tell me no, that 417 00:23:25,240 --> 00:23:28,800 Speaker 1: probably would hurt that person. But that's not been the case. 418 00:23:29,680 --> 00:23:33,719 Speaker 1: I mean that in this sense, Donald Trump has been 419 00:23:33,760 --> 00:23:39,840 Speaker 1: able to defy conventional political gravity, and every time he's 420 00:23:39,840 --> 00:23:43,159 Speaker 1: been arrested, every time he's been arraigned, his poll numbers 421 00:23:43,200 --> 00:23:46,280 Speaker 1: go up. I would imagine if you were one of 422 00:23:46,280 --> 00:23:48,479 Speaker 1: his opponents in the primary. You might be saying, oh, 423 00:23:48,520 --> 00:23:52,320 Speaker 1: this sucks. You know, how did that happen? So what 424 00:23:52,400 --> 00:23:57,439 Speaker 1: was interesting? Three of the four ads actually boosted Donald 425 00:23:57,480 --> 00:24:02,600 Speaker 1: Trump's support among participants, one which was a softer touch 426 00:24:02,720 --> 00:24:05,640 Speaker 1: spot that featured a voter saying that Trump's trials warri 427 00:24:05,760 --> 00:24:10,440 Speaker 1: him had no measurable impact on Trump's numbers none Now 428 00:24:10,480 --> 00:24:13,960 Speaker 1: these ads because they didn't get the feedback that they wanted, 429 00:24:14,040 --> 00:24:17,840 Speaker 1: so they didn't air anywhere. But along with nearly two 430 00:24:17,880 --> 00:24:22,040 Speaker 1: hundred and sixty pages of accompanying data analysis was obtained 431 00:24:22,040 --> 00:24:25,119 Speaker 1: by Politico. This is where I'm reading the story from 432 00:24:25,480 --> 00:24:29,120 Speaker 1: and strategists with the conservative Anti Trump Political Action Committee. 433 00:24:29,119 --> 00:24:32,639 Speaker 1: I'm not sure how conservative they are, but anyway, they 434 00:24:32,720 --> 00:24:37,480 Speaker 1: decided to shelve the commercials, and those commercials. 435 00:24:37,280 --> 00:24:39,000 Speaker 2: Likely will never see the light of day. 436 00:24:40,040 --> 00:24:43,240 Speaker 1: But that behind the scenes deliberations around the ads do 437 00:24:43,320 --> 00:24:47,760 Speaker 1: what it does underscore how Donald Trump's legal problems have, 438 00:24:47,880 --> 00:24:53,920 Speaker 1: if anything, helped not hurt his standing in the primary. Now, 439 00:24:54,160 --> 00:24:58,640 Speaker 1: if I don't care if Donald Trump is being accused 440 00:24:58,720 --> 00:25:03,240 Speaker 1: of increasing the value euations of properties that he owns 441 00:25:03,600 --> 00:25:08,800 Speaker 1: for the purpose of getting better loan terms and better insurance. 442 00:25:08,359 --> 00:25:12,240 Speaker 2: Rates and the judge in the case under. 443 00:25:12,880 --> 00:25:17,200 Speaker 1: Values of property like marl Lago, that's it's worth somewhere 444 00:25:17,200 --> 00:25:21,239 Speaker 1: close to a billion, maybe more, maybe less, I don't know, 445 00:25:21,280 --> 00:25:24,960 Speaker 1: but it's hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of millions of dollars. 446 00:25:26,240 --> 00:25:28,639 Speaker 1: And for him to just stand by the eighteen million 447 00:25:28,720 --> 00:25:35,480 Speaker 1: dollar figure and not budge, he's guilty of that which 448 00:25:36,680 --> 00:25:40,080 Speaker 1: Donald Trump's being accused of. Now you add to that 449 00:25:40,080 --> 00:25:44,120 Speaker 1: that inside of every contract that the Trump organization put 450 00:25:44,160 --> 00:25:47,320 Speaker 1: together when they were applying for loans or applying for insurance, 451 00:25:47,760 --> 00:25:50,720 Speaker 1: they put in a waiver saying, don't follow our valuations. 452 00:25:51,200 --> 00:25:54,760 Speaker 1: Not that any insurance company or lender would. They're not 453 00:25:54,760 --> 00:25:57,400 Speaker 1: going to listen to a borrower and what the borrow 454 00:25:57,480 --> 00:26:00,240 Speaker 1: of thinks that their collateral may or may not be 455 00:26:00,320 --> 00:26:03,240 Speaker 1: worthy not doing that. They've got to they have a 456 00:26:03,280 --> 00:26:08,359 Speaker 1: produciary responsibility to do their own valuations. They've got to 457 00:26:08,359 --> 00:26:11,159 Speaker 1: bring in their own appraisers. I mean, it would be 458 00:26:11,200 --> 00:26:16,080 Speaker 1: insane to think it would be, you know, any other way. Anyway, 459 00:26:16,320 --> 00:26:19,159 Speaker 1: eight hundred nine point one. Shawn is on number h 460 00:26:19,359 --> 00:26:22,720 Speaker 1: It is interesting. I mean, Democrats are in a they're 461 00:26:22,720 --> 00:26:26,359 Speaker 1: in a full fledged panic now after these after the 462 00:26:26,600 --> 00:26:29,719 Speaker 1: new York Times, Siena Pole put Trump ahead of Biden, 463 00:26:30,520 --> 00:26:33,320 Speaker 1: you know, by up to ten points in five swing states. 464 00:26:34,000 --> 00:26:37,720 Speaker 1: If this holds, that is that is a three hundred 465 00:26:38,640 --> 00:26:44,480 Speaker 1: electoral college landslide. Now, Joe Biden obviously is weak in 466 00:26:44,560 --> 00:26:48,160 Speaker 1: frail and is in significant cognitive decline. That is not 467 00:26:48,280 --> 00:26:56,080 Speaker 1: going to get better cognitive decline. Unfortunately, people get progressively worse. 468 00:26:56,359 --> 00:26:59,400 Speaker 1: I think we're watching it unfold before our very eyes. 469 00:26:59,480 --> 00:27:04,720 Speaker 1: It's degenerative in nature. Anyways, So three times as many 470 00:27:04,800 --> 00:27:07,800 Speaker 1: voters think that the nation is headed in the wrong direction. 471 00:27:08,840 --> 00:27:11,880 Speaker 1: You had another poll seventy six percent think that Joe 472 00:27:11,880 --> 00:27:16,159 Speaker 1: Biden's doing a horrible job. If Americans cannot name a 473 00:27:16,200 --> 00:27:19,359 Speaker 1: single thing that Joe Biden has done and done successfully, 474 00:27:20,080 --> 00:27:21,760 Speaker 1: how is it possible. 475 00:27:21,320 --> 00:27:22,080 Speaker 2: For him to win? 476 00:27:22,600 --> 00:27:25,520 Speaker 1: Now, add the context of what these trials are going 477 00:27:25,560 --> 00:27:28,280 Speaker 1: to be about, because I've often thought about this, how 478 00:27:28,359 --> 00:27:33,320 Speaker 1: will independence in America? How will they react to the 479 00:27:33,359 --> 00:27:37,320 Speaker 1: idea that, in all likelihood, based on the fact that 480 00:27:37,359 --> 00:27:40,480 Speaker 1: they didn't bring these cases like the Stormy Daniel's case, 481 00:27:40,480 --> 00:27:43,600 Speaker 1: the Alvin bradcase, they could have brought that case in 482 00:27:43,640 --> 00:27:47,520 Speaker 1: twenty eighteen, they didn't. Although I guess you can indict 483 00:27:47,520 --> 00:27:49,439 Speaker 1: a sitting president. They certainly could have done it right 484 00:27:49,440 --> 00:27:53,320 Speaker 1: at the start of twenty twenty one. This whole issue 485 00:27:53,400 --> 00:27:56,560 Speaker 1: in Washington January sixth, They could have brought that in 486 00:27:56,640 --> 00:28:00,200 Speaker 1: January of twenty twenty one. Also, they could have brought 487 00:28:00,200 --> 00:28:02,800 Speaker 1: the case in Fulton County, Georgia in January of twenty 488 00:28:02,800 --> 00:28:05,719 Speaker 1: twenty one. Why did they all wait to an election 489 00:28:05,840 --> 00:28:11,160 Speaker 1: year to have a trial. I look, it's still New York, 490 00:28:11,240 --> 00:28:13,600 Speaker 1: so I can't say for sure, but I got to 491 00:28:13,640 --> 00:28:17,920 Speaker 1: imagine that after this, this dopey judge in this case 492 00:28:17,920 --> 00:28:21,560 Speaker 1: in New York, in the civil trial, you know, throws 493 00:28:21,600 --> 00:28:25,240 Speaker 1: the book at Donald Trump because it's a predetermined outcome anyway, 494 00:28:26,080 --> 00:28:29,160 Speaker 1: and Donald Trump brings it up on appeal. I think 495 00:28:29,200 --> 00:28:32,680 Speaker 1: it's going to be like Bob McDonald. Bob McDonald, former 496 00:28:32,760 --> 00:28:37,440 Speaker 1: Virginia governor, got convicted eleven felonies, and by the time 497 00:28:37,480 --> 00:28:40,760 Speaker 1: it finally got to the Supreme Court, everybody would know 498 00:28:40,800 --> 00:28:48,040 Speaker 1: the Supreme Court very rarely has a unanimous verdict on anything, 499 00:28:48,600 --> 00:28:53,240 Speaker 1: but they voted unanimously to vacate all eleven felony convictions 500 00:28:53,920 --> 00:28:55,120 Speaker 1: against Bob McDonald. 501 00:28:56,160 --> 00:28:56,960 Speaker 2: Now we're going to have. 502 00:28:56,960 --> 00:29:02,440 Speaker 1: The trials in jurisdictions that are not friendly to a 503 00:29:02,520 --> 00:29:07,840 Speaker 1: conservative or a Republican or Donald Trump in the election 504 00:29:07,960 --> 00:29:11,800 Speaker 1: year twenty twenty four, and where he would fare better, 505 00:29:12,600 --> 00:29:16,640 Speaker 1: where there would be at least some hope of some 506 00:29:17,000 --> 00:29:22,400 Speaker 1: legal integrity in the system on appeal that would happen 507 00:29:22,480 --> 00:29:27,040 Speaker 1: post election. Now, how do you not make the case 508 00:29:27,280 --> 00:29:30,840 Speaker 1: that that is a kind of election interference, that a 509 00:29:30,920 --> 00:29:34,880 Speaker 1: kind of unfairness to the process. Democrats love it because 510 00:29:34,880 --> 00:29:37,400 Speaker 1: they think it's going to work out. Maybe this is 511 00:29:37,440 --> 00:29:41,360 Speaker 1: a Canarian the coal mine that we're reading here out 512 00:29:41,400 --> 00:29:46,479 Speaker 1: of political political I don't know, I really don't, but 513 00:29:46,520 --> 00:29:49,880 Speaker 1: I will tell you. You know, if you're looking at the borders, 514 00:29:50,400 --> 00:29:53,680 Speaker 1: you're looking at the Biden economy, you're looking at inflation, 515 00:29:54,440 --> 00:29:58,239 Speaker 1: You're looking at gas prices, heating and cooling prices, if 516 00:29:58,280 --> 00:30:02,479 Speaker 1: you're looking at you know, the cost of everything being higher. 517 00:30:03,440 --> 00:30:06,360 Speaker 1: Now we have eight percent thirty year fixed rate mortgages. 518 00:30:06,440 --> 00:30:10,440 Speaker 1: That is that has basically brought the home building industry 519 00:30:10,480 --> 00:30:14,640 Speaker 1: to a standstill sale of pre existing homes. Nobody's given 520 00:30:14,720 --> 00:30:17,120 Speaker 1: up their three percent thirty year fixed rate mortgage for 521 00:30:17,520 --> 00:30:20,640 Speaker 1: an eight percent thirty year fixed rate mortgage unless they 522 00:30:20,640 --> 00:30:24,160 Speaker 1: absolutely have to, and if they're moving for a job, 523 00:30:24,200 --> 00:30:27,760 Speaker 1: They're probably going to negotiate that the new company that 524 00:30:27,800 --> 00:30:30,240 Speaker 1: they're going to work for compensate them for this. Otherwise 525 00:30:30,280 --> 00:30:33,120 Speaker 1: why would they do it? All Right, we have a 526 00:30:33,120 --> 00:30:35,800 Speaker 1: lot of ground to cover today. We're going to talk 527 00:30:35,800 --> 00:30:39,040 Speaker 1: about this with our posters Matt Towery and Robert Kahley 528 00:30:39,560 --> 00:30:42,040 Speaker 1: on the other side. Also later in the program today, 529 00:30:43,240 --> 00:30:46,520 Speaker 1: author of the best selling book Son of Hamas, Mosab 530 00:30:46,600 --> 00:30:51,400 Speaker 1: Hassan Yusev actually grew up and his father was one 531 00:30:51,400 --> 00:30:56,600 Speaker 1: of Hamas's leaders, knows more about this organization than probably 532 00:30:56,840 --> 00:30:59,520 Speaker 1: anybody would ever imagine. That's all coming up. Eight hundred 533 00:30:59,520 --> 00:31:02,080 Speaker 1: and nine four one Sean is our number.
