1 00:00:03,840 --> 00:00:04,760 Speaker 1: It's that time. 2 00:00:04,960 --> 00:00:13,000 Speaker 2: Time, time, time, luck, and look, Michael Verishow is on 3 00:00:13,119 --> 00:00:13,520 Speaker 2: the air. 4 00:00:18,160 --> 00:00:20,720 Speaker 3: The reason I ask people to call and share who 5 00:00:20,720 --> 00:00:23,599 Speaker 3: they're voting for and why so I want you to 6 00:00:23,600 --> 00:00:27,160 Speaker 3: get comfortable doing this. This is game time, man, this 7 00:00:27,320 --> 00:00:32,080 Speaker 3: is fourth quarter. This is why you go through two 8 00:00:32,120 --> 00:00:35,159 Speaker 3: a days. This is why you wear pads in a heat. 9 00:00:35,240 --> 00:00:38,720 Speaker 3: This is why you run the long distances and lift 10 00:00:38,760 --> 00:00:42,839 Speaker 3: weights and eat right. And it's not for the beginning 11 00:00:42,920 --> 00:00:45,440 Speaker 3: of the game. It's for the end. And that's where 12 00:00:45,440 --> 00:00:49,320 Speaker 3: we are. This is the moment. We're going to look 13 00:00:49,400 --> 00:00:51,960 Speaker 3: back on these next three weeks for the rest of 14 00:00:52,000 --> 00:00:52,560 Speaker 3: our lives. 15 00:00:53,800 --> 00:00:57,000 Speaker 1: And I hope it's not wistful. I hope it's not regretful. 16 00:00:58,160 --> 00:01:01,000 Speaker 1: I'm not going to be. And I don't want you 17 00:01:01,080 --> 00:01:01,280 Speaker 1: to be. 18 00:01:02,440 --> 00:01:06,440 Speaker 3: Your story, your testimony, your message, your journey is important 19 00:01:07,160 --> 00:01:09,160 Speaker 3: and I want you to feel very comfortable saying that, 20 00:01:09,240 --> 00:01:11,679 Speaker 3: not just to the rest of us on this show. 21 00:01:12,560 --> 00:01:14,480 Speaker 3: I want you to go to your social media page, 22 00:01:14,480 --> 00:01:18,319 Speaker 3: whatever that is, Instagram, Twitter, Facebook. I want you to 23 00:01:18,360 --> 00:01:21,280 Speaker 3: speak to your Sunday school class. I want you to 24 00:01:21,280 --> 00:01:24,360 Speaker 3: speak to your homeowners associated and say, hey, I'm voting 25 00:01:24,400 --> 00:01:26,959 Speaker 3: for Trump and here's the reason. Here's why it matters 26 00:01:26,959 --> 00:01:30,959 Speaker 3: to me. Some of you might surprise people. Some of 27 00:01:31,000 --> 00:01:35,440 Speaker 3: you might really surprise people that didn't expect someone like 28 00:01:35,560 --> 00:01:39,280 Speaker 3: you was so concerned about the country. And this is 29 00:01:39,280 --> 00:01:43,160 Speaker 3: what's driving you to vote. You've got to have the courage. 30 00:01:43,400 --> 00:01:48,400 Speaker 3: Your testimony matters. Don't sit quietly other people speak out. 31 00:01:48,880 --> 00:01:52,280 Speaker 3: You should. Your story is just as valid and just 32 00:01:52,360 --> 00:01:57,760 Speaker 3: as important as there's this all right, Kevin, Just before 33 00:01:57,800 --> 00:02:00,520 Speaker 3: we went to break, you said you'd kept a journal 34 00:02:01,200 --> 00:02:03,360 Speaker 3: and you were able to see patterns develop. 35 00:02:04,240 --> 00:02:06,400 Speaker 1: Tell me about that. I love the self study. 36 00:02:06,440 --> 00:02:08,840 Speaker 3: I love how introspective you are and how you're trying 37 00:02:08,880 --> 00:02:11,919 Speaker 3: to figure out where you made mistakes. So I love 38 00:02:11,960 --> 00:02:14,440 Speaker 3: that you're studying yourself, working on yourself. 39 00:02:15,320 --> 00:02:18,880 Speaker 2: You know, they say it's it's a biblical. 40 00:02:18,400 --> 00:02:20,519 Speaker 1: Saying, but when you give, when you name a demon, 41 00:02:20,560 --> 00:02:21,720 Speaker 1: he loses his power. 42 00:02:22,080 --> 00:02:25,799 Speaker 2: And it's sort of the similar thing with life because 43 00:02:26,400 --> 00:02:28,720 Speaker 2: once I could see the pattern, now I can notice 44 00:02:28,720 --> 00:02:30,920 Speaker 2: it before as it starts to happen, and catch it 45 00:02:31,000 --> 00:02:35,240 Speaker 2: before it can do any damage to me. And so 46 00:02:35,560 --> 00:02:38,400 Speaker 2: in the last almost five years that I've been out here, 47 00:02:39,240 --> 00:02:41,040 Speaker 2: I would catch myself. 48 00:02:40,800 --> 00:02:45,400 Speaker 1: When my thinking would go wrong, and. 49 00:02:45,200 --> 00:02:49,600 Speaker 2: I just It's all because I spent the time that 50 00:02:49,680 --> 00:02:52,280 Speaker 2: I needed to spend well on this last prison bid, 51 00:02:52,400 --> 00:02:55,800 Speaker 2: not worrying about being in prison. I'm not a you know, 52 00:02:55,840 --> 00:03:01,040 Speaker 2: I don't worry about my personal safety in there. I'm 53 00:03:01,040 --> 00:03:03,240 Speaker 2: not the kind of guy who people and I'm not 54 00:03:03,320 --> 00:03:06,079 Speaker 2: saying being cocky, but I can handle myself. And it 55 00:03:06,639 --> 00:03:08,840 Speaker 2: was known, so I didn't have to worry about being 56 00:03:08,880 --> 00:03:11,080 Speaker 2: in prison, and I could spend the time I needed 57 00:03:11,680 --> 00:03:15,880 Speaker 2: working on the outside life and what I was going 58 00:03:15,960 --> 00:03:17,960 Speaker 2: to do and how I was going to change and 59 00:03:18,040 --> 00:03:19,760 Speaker 2: stop these patterns from happening. 60 00:03:20,840 --> 00:03:22,400 Speaker 1: And so far, four and a half. 61 00:03:22,280 --> 00:03:24,480 Speaker 2: Years out on the street, almost five years April b 62 00:03:24,560 --> 00:03:28,040 Speaker 2: five years, things are amazing. 63 00:03:29,120 --> 00:03:29,880 Speaker 1: Got a great. 64 00:03:29,680 --> 00:03:32,640 Speaker 2: Relationship with my wife. I actually met her while I 65 00:03:32,680 --> 00:03:38,000 Speaker 2: was in prison, and you know, my son, I got 66 00:03:38,040 --> 00:03:43,119 Speaker 2: my children back in My life is wonderfully. 67 00:03:43,680 --> 00:03:45,240 Speaker 3: I've known a lot of people to go through what 68 00:03:45,280 --> 00:03:49,120 Speaker 3: you've gone through. The drugs changed, but the scenario is 69 00:03:49,160 --> 00:03:53,160 Speaker 3: the same. And I have a theory so based on 70 00:03:53,520 --> 00:03:57,600 Speaker 3: a lot of experience trying to be a good friend 71 00:03:58,320 --> 00:04:01,320 Speaker 3: for people as as they go through this, and then 72 00:04:01,400 --> 00:04:03,760 Speaker 3: talking to a lot of listeners. I engage a lot 73 00:04:03,760 --> 00:04:06,440 Speaker 3: of listeners by email who will share their story and 74 00:04:06,480 --> 00:04:08,560 Speaker 3: then I'll dig deeper and we'll go back and forth, 75 00:04:08,600 --> 00:04:11,600 Speaker 3: and they know I won't tell their particular story. 76 00:04:11,240 --> 00:04:13,240 Speaker 1: On the air. It's just for me to learn. 77 00:04:14,120 --> 00:04:19,039 Speaker 3: And I have a theory that whether it's alcohol or 78 00:04:19,520 --> 00:04:28,280 Speaker 3: gambling or narcotics, whatever that may be, it's not the 79 00:04:28,400 --> 00:04:31,039 Speaker 3: drug that is the lure. 80 00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:33,080 Speaker 1: Uh, that's not. 81 00:04:33,560 --> 00:04:38,120 Speaker 3: The temptation to go back to. It is there is something. 82 00:04:38,279 --> 00:04:42,680 Speaker 3: There is a synapse. It's not firing that or a 83 00:04:42,760 --> 00:04:46,320 Speaker 3: synapse that is firing that shouldn't that that leads to that? 84 00:04:47,080 --> 00:04:51,479 Speaker 3: When can you identify what it is that made you, 85 00:04:52,000 --> 00:04:54,760 Speaker 3: especially as you got older, once you knew the consequences 86 00:04:54,760 --> 00:04:56,720 Speaker 3: when you're young, you're young and dumb. You know, I 87 00:04:56,800 --> 00:04:59,000 Speaker 3: get that, you gotta be you got to be slapped, 88 00:04:59,000 --> 00:05:01,240 Speaker 3: you got to you got to that hot pot one 89 00:05:01,320 --> 00:05:04,640 Speaker 3: time to realize that it burns, But to keep going back, 90 00:05:05,000 --> 00:05:08,000 Speaker 3: Have you identified what it is, what it was and 91 00:05:08,279 --> 00:05:11,400 Speaker 3: is about you that you were trying to fulfill? 92 00:05:13,600 --> 00:05:19,960 Speaker 2: Well, the one thing that I can say is in 93 00:05:19,960 --> 00:05:22,839 Speaker 2: in retrospect now, after spending all that time, you know, 94 00:05:23,360 --> 00:05:26,359 Speaker 2: reflecting on my life and seeing these patterns, what I 95 00:05:26,440 --> 00:05:30,680 Speaker 2: had noticed was that since I was a little kid. 96 00:05:30,720 --> 00:05:34,640 Speaker 2: You know, my parents were separated, divorced. I would live 97 00:05:34,680 --> 00:05:37,240 Speaker 2: with my mom and when I was you know, when 98 00:05:37,279 --> 00:05:39,080 Speaker 2: she wanted to go do what she wanted to do 99 00:05:39,120 --> 00:05:41,040 Speaker 2: and I was in the way, well then i'd move. 100 00:05:41,200 --> 00:05:43,599 Speaker 2: She'd move me to my dad's and vice versa. So 101 00:05:43,640 --> 00:05:46,440 Speaker 2: every time my life would get comfortable, I'd get uprooted 102 00:05:46,480 --> 00:05:50,840 Speaker 2: and move. And so what I noticed was in my adult. 103 00:05:50,600 --> 00:05:53,240 Speaker 1: In my adult life, I would have. 104 00:05:53,279 --> 00:05:56,400 Speaker 2: Some success and things would be going well and life 105 00:05:56,440 --> 00:05:59,359 Speaker 2: would be comfortable, and then all of a sudden, you know, 106 00:05:59,440 --> 00:06:01,880 Speaker 2: it would seem like, for no reason, I'd be off 107 00:06:01,920 --> 00:06:04,039 Speaker 2: on a drug binge, and you know, three months later, 108 00:06:04,080 --> 00:06:09,880 Speaker 2: I'm back in prison. And I attribute that to that 109 00:06:10,040 --> 00:06:13,200 Speaker 2: was the pattern that started as a little boy, that 110 00:06:13,400 --> 00:06:18,000 Speaker 2: when I'm comfortable, something has to be uprooted, something has 111 00:06:18,040 --> 00:06:20,800 Speaker 2: to be blown up, because that's the way it's been. 112 00:06:21,120 --> 00:06:22,680 Speaker 1: And so that's what I would do. 113 00:06:22,960 --> 00:06:25,520 Speaker 3: I see that with a lot of people, and I 114 00:06:25,560 --> 00:06:27,160 Speaker 3: hear that with a lot of people. And why do 115 00:06:27,240 --> 00:06:28,160 Speaker 3: you think that is. 116 00:06:31,839 --> 00:06:35,120 Speaker 4: Well, that's a good question. 117 00:06:35,720 --> 00:06:37,400 Speaker 1: Let me let me let me give you a lot. 118 00:06:37,520 --> 00:06:39,039 Speaker 3: I don't know you well enough to know if this 119 00:06:39,200 --> 00:06:42,240 Speaker 3: is true, but I have watched people. They do it 120 00:06:42,279 --> 00:06:45,120 Speaker 3: in their personal relationships, men who will do it with 121 00:06:45,120 --> 00:06:48,080 Speaker 3: with women, and women who'll do it with men. And 122 00:06:49,080 --> 00:06:52,240 Speaker 3: they don't believe that they're supposed to have good things. 123 00:06:52,839 --> 00:06:57,480 Speaker 3: Sometimes it's a lack of belief that they can have 124 00:06:57,560 --> 00:06:59,960 Speaker 3: stability they're not supposed to because they didn't have it 125 00:07:00,120 --> 00:07:02,840 Speaker 3: when they were younger. And the other one is some people, 126 00:07:03,040 --> 00:07:05,960 Speaker 3: just like warriors, have come back for war to tell 127 00:07:06,000 --> 00:07:08,839 Speaker 3: me that part of their PTSD is they missed the 128 00:07:08,880 --> 00:07:11,720 Speaker 3: actual war, They missed the camaraderie, they missed the adrenaline, 129 00:07:11,760 --> 00:07:15,200 Speaker 3: they missed they felt alive. I've had professional athletes tell 130 00:07:15,240 --> 00:07:18,240 Speaker 3: me when you leave the sporting world, you can't get 131 00:07:18,280 --> 00:07:23,440 Speaker 3: that drug back, and it's it's hard because that adrenaline 132 00:07:23,760 --> 00:07:26,880 Speaker 3: was a feeling that you can't replace. And so it's 133 00:07:26,960 --> 00:07:29,560 Speaker 3: very frustrating with some people when they retire from their 134 00:07:29,960 --> 00:07:32,200 Speaker 3: from their sales job, and they were good at sales 135 00:07:32,240 --> 00:07:33,360 Speaker 3: and they enjoyed being out. 136 00:07:33,920 --> 00:07:36,800 Speaker 1: So one of those is the opposite. I kind of 137 00:07:36,840 --> 00:07:37,400 Speaker 1: went a little. 138 00:07:37,240 --> 00:07:40,480 Speaker 3: Long here, Kevin, but one is you don't believe you 139 00:07:40,560 --> 00:07:42,720 Speaker 3: deserve good things, and so you got to break it 140 00:07:42,800 --> 00:07:46,560 Speaker 3: up because you know that keeps it from breaking without 141 00:07:46,600 --> 00:07:49,280 Speaker 3: you now you're choosing to break it. The other one 142 00:07:49,520 --> 00:07:53,840 Speaker 3: is the adrenaline rush of everything going wrong for people 143 00:07:53,840 --> 00:07:55,280 Speaker 3: who had broken childhoods. 144 00:07:55,600 --> 00:07:57,080 Speaker 1: Does either of those apply to you. 145 00:07:58,480 --> 00:08:01,120 Speaker 2: Well, I think both apply to me in the sense 146 00:08:01,200 --> 00:08:05,640 Speaker 2: that you know, with that pattern developing as a little kid, 147 00:08:06,320 --> 00:08:08,120 Speaker 2: then every time I was comfortable and I. 148 00:08:08,080 --> 00:08:09,960 Speaker 4: Felt life was good, I would get uprooted. 149 00:08:10,040 --> 00:08:11,040 Speaker 1: Things had to be moved. 150 00:08:11,040 --> 00:08:14,560 Speaker 2: So yes, at some point it was probably instilled in 151 00:08:14,640 --> 00:08:17,760 Speaker 2: me in my own conscious that you know, I'm not 152 00:08:17,800 --> 00:08:20,640 Speaker 2: supposed to have a good formal life. 153 00:08:20,960 --> 00:08:22,360 Speaker 5: Everybody needs to be woke. 154 00:08:25,400 --> 00:08:31,080 Speaker 1: I just did Freke for less woke. Indeed, you're up first, why, sweetheart? 155 00:08:32,679 --> 00:08:35,640 Speaker 6: Hi Michael. I wanted to let you know that I'm 156 00:08:35,640 --> 00:08:40,000 Speaker 6: a Christian Republican and I will be voting Trump all 157 00:08:40,040 --> 00:08:43,320 Speaker 6: the way down the ticket except for two I don't 158 00:08:43,320 --> 00:08:44,560 Speaker 6: know if they're going to be on my ticket, but 159 00:08:44,600 --> 00:08:47,880 Speaker 6: I would not vote for John Cornyan or for Dan Crenshaw. 160 00:08:48,440 --> 00:08:51,080 Speaker 6: But I wanted to let you know that this illegal 161 00:08:51,120 --> 00:08:54,280 Speaker 6: immigration is so important to me because that's the affected 162 00:08:54,520 --> 00:09:00,360 Speaker 6: three of my immediate family members. My brother Scottie had again, 163 00:09:00,480 --> 00:09:03,160 Speaker 6: he's come into his house and still about one hundred 164 00:09:03,200 --> 00:09:07,439 Speaker 6: thousand dollars worth of items. My middle child, who lives 165 00:09:07,480 --> 00:09:13,840 Speaker 6: in Cyprus, Norchester. Her immediate backdoor neighbor had heard the 166 00:09:13,840 --> 00:09:17,720 Speaker 6: north outside. He opened the door and an illegal shot 167 00:09:17,800 --> 00:09:20,120 Speaker 6: him five times and killed him. He was found three 168 00:09:20,200 --> 00:09:25,240 Speaker 6: days later. And then with me. I love an immaculate garage, 169 00:09:25,360 --> 00:09:29,640 Speaker 6: and I was cleaning my garage and this man, an illegal, 170 00:09:30,000 --> 00:09:34,920 Speaker 6: big guy.

That doesn't mean that 477 00:26:36,240 --> 00:26:38,600 Speaker 3: entertainment cannot enrich your life. 478 00:26:38,440 --> 00:26:40,840 Speaker 1: Or that it's not true. I don't mean to say 479 00:26:40,840 --> 00:26:43,800 Speaker 1: that at all. It does mean to. 480 00:26:43,760 --> 00:26:47,920 Speaker 3: Say that sometimes they put things out there that are 481 00:26:47,960 --> 00:26:57,240 Speaker 3: not quite as scientifically accurate, or the protocols are not followed. 482 00:26:58,280 --> 00:27:03,960 Speaker 3: But in their internal in their internals, they need to 483 00:27:04,000 --> 00:27:07,639 Speaker 3: know where they are, really where they are. So they 484 00:27:07,680 --> 00:27:11,840 Speaker 3: asked question and they don't release those numbers unless they 485 00:27:12,280 --> 00:27:15,960 Speaker 3: were designed to be released. So we're going to go 486 00:27:16,000 --> 00:27:20,040 Speaker 3: to break with Mark Halpern talking about how much trouble 487 00:27:20,119 --> 00:27:21,119 Speaker 3: Kamala Harris is in. 488 00:27:21,359 --> 00:27:23,240 Speaker 1: Because I like to end on a high note, I. 489 00:27:23,160 --> 00:27:25,199 Speaker 4: Want to bring that level of transparency to my reporting 490 00:27:25,240 --> 00:27:27,480 Speaker 4: this week, which has gotten some attention in some quarters. 491 00:27:28,400 --> 00:27:30,760 Speaker 4: I'm trying to describe what's happening in the race. I'm 492 00:27:30,760 --> 00:27:33,760 Speaker 4: not rooting for Trump or Harris. I'm rooting for transparency, 493 00:27:33,800 --> 00:27:37,240 Speaker 4: for understanding, and I'm a competitive reporter. I'm trying to 494 00:27:37,240 --> 00:27:40,520 Speaker 4: tell people ahead of others what's going on. Okay, what's 495 00:27:40,600 --> 00:27:44,119 Speaker 4: going on is what I know is going on is 496 00:27:44,160 --> 00:27:47,560 Speaker 4: not based on partisanship or favor It's based on sources 497 00:27:47,560 --> 00:27:50,080 Speaker 4: in both sides. I'm not saying I'm the only reporter 498 00:27:50,119 --> 00:27:53,520 Speaker 4: in America with reporters in both parties, but it's increasingly rare. 499 00:27:53,760 --> 00:27:56,119 Speaker 4: And the benefit of having sources in both parties is 500 00:27:56,440 --> 00:27:59,560 Speaker 4: the cross checking is super valuable. Right If a really valuable, 501 00:27:59,640 --> 00:28:02,680 Speaker 4: well known to me Republican source and a really valuable, 502 00:28:03,000 --> 00:28:06,120 Speaker 4: well positioned, well known to me Democratic source are saying 503 00:28:06,160 --> 00:28:09,000 Speaker 4: the same thing about what they're seeing in the private polling, 504 00:28:09,960 --> 00:28:13,439 Speaker 4: that's really valuable. It's more valuable than just having it 505 00:28:13,480 --> 00:28:16,000 Speaker 4: from one, for sure, and it gives me a greater 506 00:28:16,080 --> 00:28:18,439 Speaker 4: sense of confidence of what I feel comfortable bringing to you. 507 00:28:19,520 --> 00:28:23,679 Speaker 4: There's no doubt in my mind that the polling as 508 00:28:23,760 --> 00:28:27,480 Speaker 4: I've characterized it this week is accurate, that right now 509 00:28:27,520 --> 00:28:31,000 Speaker 4: Trump would win, and that the lumbers are moving in 510 00:28:31,000 --> 00:28:34,080 Speaker 4: his direction, and that her problems in each individual state 511 00:28:34,160 --> 00:28:38,280 Speaker 4: with different demographic groups are pronounced, and she'll either need 512 00:28:38,320 --> 00:28:39,800 Speaker 4: to fix she'll need to fix with some kind of 513 00:28:39,840 --> 00:28:45,640 Speaker 4: combination of tactical outreach to blackmails or union workers, whatever 514 00:28:45,640 --> 00:28:52,080 Speaker 4: it is, and to a macro solution like the overwhelming 515 00:28:52,120 --> 00:28:55,040 Speaker 4: effectiveness of the NASSA or Bipartisan Council advisors. I can't 516 00:28:55,040 --> 00:28:58,240 Speaker 4: stop joking about it because I just find it so ridiculous. 517 00:28:59,720 --> 00:29:04,960 Speaker 4: Now as I talked to folks about the race, I'm 518 00:29:05,000 --> 00:29:06,000 Speaker 4: not locking in. 519 00:29:06,640 --> 00:29:07,600 Speaker 1: I'm not saying well. 520 00:29:07,560 --> 00:29:10,280 Speaker 4: Since I reported that the polls were going and heard 521 00:29:10,320 --> 00:29:13,520 Speaker 4: her in his direction, President Trump's direction, that that's it, 522 00:29:13,600 --> 00:29:15,280 Speaker 4: and then I'll stick with that the rest of the way. 523 00:29:15,560 --> 00:29:17,040 Speaker 1: If it changes, it'll change. 524 00:29:17,160 --> 00:29:20,360 Speaker 4: When I reported that President Biden was planning to leave 525 00:29:20,400 --> 00:29:23,200 Speaker 4: the race as early as the coming weekend, I also 526 00:29:23,240 --> 00:29:25,920 Speaker 4: reported that he did not implan to endorse Kamala Harris. 527 00:29:26,120 --> 00:29:27,640 Speaker 4: The reason I did was because I had it really 528 00:29:27,680 --> 00:29:30,200 Speaker 4: well sourced that he didn't from the time I reported 529 00:29:30,200 --> 00:29:33,080 Speaker 4: that to the time on Sunday when he got out 530 00:29:33,120 --> 00:29:36,240 Speaker 4: of the race, and then shortly thereafter endorser. My reporting 531 00:29:36,360 --> 00:29:38,360 Speaker 4: is and I said this, but it's been ignored by 532 00:29:38,400 --> 00:29:39,000 Speaker 4: my critics. 533 00:29:39,160 --> 00:29:40,000 Speaker 1: I said. 534 00:29:41,080 --> 00:29:43,320 Speaker 4: He came under enormous pressure when I reported that he 535 00:29:43,320 --> 00:29:46,880 Speaker 4: wasn't gonna endorser, from a lot of people, including very 536 00:29:46,960 --> 00:29:49,800 Speaker 4: influential women close to the Vice president, who said, you've 537 00:29:49,800 --> 00:29:52,080 Speaker 4: got to endorser. It'll look horrible if you don't. And 538 00:29:52,160 --> 00:29:55,480 Speaker 4: he changed his mind. So there was no open convention 539 00:29:55,560 --> 00:29:58,120 Speaker 4: as I reported there was going to be, because things change. 540 00:29:58,120 --> 00:30:01,080 Speaker 4: In this case, they changed, I think largely because of 541 00:30:01,120 --> 00:30:04,120 Speaker 4: what I reported. But my point in telling you that 542 00:30:04,240 --> 00:30:06,560 Speaker 4: story decides to see if I can shut up all 543 00:30:06,600 --> 00:30:10,200 Speaker 4: the criticism of that element of my scoop is, I 544 00:30:10,280 --> 00:30:12,959 Speaker 4: will change and the story can change. All I can 545 00:30:13,000 --> 00:30:15,360 Speaker 4: do is tell you, in a single moment what's going 546 00:30:15,400 --> 00:30:18,920 Speaker 4: on based on my reporting. So the day I talked 547 00:30:18,920 --> 00:30:22,560 Speaker 4: to a Republican polster, who again is not a Charlatan, 548 00:30:22,600 --> 00:30:25,680 Speaker 4: He's a real polster. It's someone I've worked with for decades. 549 00:30:25,800 --> 00:30:29,240 Speaker 4: I trust him. He's never lied to me, to my knowledge, 550 00:30:29,400 --> 00:30:32,720 Speaker 4: and he I can't tell you the specifics yet, but 551 00:30:33,160 --> 00:30:36,200 Speaker 4: he told me that one state that the Harris campaign 552 00:30:37,320 --> 00:30:40,120 Speaker 4: is very keen on winning up to seven. He said, 553 00:30:40,840 --> 00:30:43,200 Speaker 4: I know that state really well. I can't tell you how, 554 00:30:43,240 --> 00:30:45,760 Speaker 4: but trust me, he knows that state really well. And 555 00:30:45,800 --> 00:30:49,680 Speaker 4: he said she's not winning that state. Like, forget any 556 00:30:49,680 --> 00:30:52,239 Speaker 4: public or private pool you see now. Does I mean 557 00:30:52,280 --> 00:30:55,000 Speaker 4: he's right that she's definitely not going to win the state. No, 558 00:30:56,080 --> 00:30:58,480 Speaker 4: But I have confidence in person because I know his 559 00:30:58,480 --> 00:30:59,360 Speaker 4: history with the state. 560 00:31:00,040 --> 00:31:02,080 Speaker 1: I know how well he knows the state is upholster. 561 00:31:03,000 --> 00:31:06,160 Speaker 4: And I'll say that factors into my view when I 562 00:31:06,200 --> 00:31:10,440 Speaker 4: think about her electoral college patents and many of her 563 00:31:10,440 --> 00:31:13,600 Speaker 4: ele college paths include that state. Not all of them, 564 00:31:13,640 --> 00:31:16,320 Speaker 4: but many of them do. And I say, okay, I 565 00:31:16,400 --> 00:31:19,120 Speaker 4: factor that in so and I'm thinking about how likely 566 00:31:19,200 --> 00:31:21,040 Speaker 4: is she to get two hudred and seventy electoral votes 567 00:31:21,080 --> 00:31:23,600 Speaker 4: with that state today? I don't think it's very likely. 568 00:31:23,880 --> 00:31:26,440 Speaker 4: I'll do more reporting on it. I think the chances 569 00:31:26,480 --> 00:31:29,400 Speaker 4: that person is wrong about that state are deminimous, but 570 00:31:29,440 --> 00:31:32,280 Speaker 4: they're not zero. And I'll keep reporting on it. And 571 00:31:32,800 --> 00:31:37,000 Speaker 4: that is what I do. Okay, I don't follow up 572 00:31:37,600 --> 00:31:40,280 Speaker 4: a Trump communications director and say, spin me on your polls, 573 00:31:40,280 --> 00:31:41,520 Speaker 4: tell me how great Trump's doing. 574 00:31:42,160 --> 00:31:46,280 Speaker 1: And I don't just take one side word for it. 575 00:31:47,080 --> 00:31:49,760 Speaker 4: If I do, if one side tells me something, I'll 576 00:31:49,800 --> 00:31:53,280 Speaker 4: say it's that side. I won't money it up. Okay, 577 00:31:53,840 --> 00:31:57,240 Speaker 4: So that where I believe the race stands tonight. Confidence 578 00:31:57,280 --> 00:32:01,560 Speaker 4: in mar Lago, insert in Wilmington, and greater concern amongst 579 00:32:01,560 --> 00:32:05,480 Speaker 4: Democratic collected officials do I hear from daily asking me 580 00:32:05,600 --> 00:32:06,040 Speaker 4: what I know? 581 00:32:06,120 --> 00:32:06,960 Speaker 1: Because they know I know. 582 00:32:07,000 --> 00:32:11,400 Speaker 4: Some stuff and telling me explicitly and through their questions 583 00:32:11,720 --> 00:32:15,360 Speaker 4: they are worried. Okay, doesn't mean she won't win, but 584 00:32:15,600 --> 00:32:18,320 Speaker 4: that's how we head into the weekend. Okay, Democrats are 585 00:32:18,400 --> 00:32:21,360 Speaker 4: worried about where things stand. And you see in her 586 00:32:21,440 --> 00:32:25,920 Speaker 4: media strategy. Often you'll see my colleagues say, well, she's 587 00:32:25,920 --> 00:32:29,960 Speaker 4: doing interviews. That much mean they're panding or Frum's doing 588 00:32:30,040 --> 00:32:32,520 Speaker 4: a town hall with women. He must be concerned about women. 589 00:32:33,160 --> 00:32:36,000 Speaker 4: Sometimes it's true and sometimes it's not. It doesn't mean 590 00:32:36,080 --> 00:32:40,480 Speaker 4: just because they're trying to inspire constituency or win over undecideds, 591 00:32:40,800 --> 00:32:42,000 Speaker 4: it doesn't mean they're panicked. 592 00:32:42,040 --> 00:32:43,479 Speaker 1: It doesn't mean they think they're doomed. 593 00:32:43,880 --> 00:32:45,600 Speaker 4: They're doing what they're doing to try to win
