Speaker 2: the show tonight, but the Christmas Poll. It's tonight. Rich

00:01:06,040 --> 00:01:08,800
Speaker 2: you all tonight at some point when we get him

00:01:08,840 --> 00:01:10,679
Speaker 2: on and let me tell you like this is This

17
00:01:10,720 --> 00:01:14,200
Speaker 2: is cool for me because we had Rich on this

18
00:01:14,360 --> 00:01:18,040
Speaker 2: show a year ago on this day talking about the

19
00:01:18,120 --> 00:01:22,240
Speaker 2: Christmas Poll. And as we continue to do the show

20
00:01:22,319 --> 00:01:26,679
Speaker 2: and build muscle memory, we're also building a little bit

21
00:01:27,760 --> 00:01:32,000
Speaker 2: of a tradition and I gotta say, folks, it's kind

22
00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:35,360
Speaker 2: of cool. So Savage Rich Barris on deck. Stay tuned

23
00:01:35,400 --> 00:01:39,600
Speaker 2: for that. We're going to talk about the new Continuing Resolution,

24
00:01:39,800 --> 00:01:43,760
Speaker 2: the new cr uh and really why it's hot, garbage,

25
00:01:43,800 --> 00:01:46,680
Speaker 2: the Trump transition. We're going to talk about going on offense.

26
00:01:47,480 --> 00:01:52,640
Speaker 2: So much to talk about today, But let me tell

27
00:01:52,680 --> 00:01:58,440
Speaker 2: you this, This new fifteen hundred page continue Continuing Resolution

28
00:01:59,040 --> 00:02:03,080
Speaker 2: is a disaster for a lot of reasons. I mean

29
00:02:04,480 --> 00:02:08,080
Speaker 2: for me, I mean, there's so much here, how do

30
00:02:08,120 --> 00:02:12,760
Speaker 2: you get into all of this? But for me, I

31
00:02:12,800 --> 00:02:17,680
Speaker 2: think if you're in the US House of Representatives, whether

32
00:02:18,080 --> 00:02:23,520
Speaker 2: a long term incumbent or a newly elected member of Congress,

33
00:02:24,480 --> 00:02:29,280
Speaker 2: your job is to very simply represent the people and

34
00:02:29,680 --> 00:02:35,160
Speaker 2: make sure that their voice is heard in Washington. And

35
00:02:36,280 --> 00:02:39,040
Speaker 2: first and foremost responsibility of that is making sure that

36
00:02:39,080 --> 00:02:45,679
Speaker 2: their tax dollars get spent responsibly. I mean, taxation in

37
00:02:45,720 --> 00:02:48,040
Speaker 2: this country is out of control. It needs to be performed, yes,

38
00:02:48,080 --> 00:02:52,120
Speaker 2: of course, but I just can't wrap my mind around

39
00:02:52,200 --> 00:02:58,080
Speaker 2: the optics of a fifteen hundred page Continuing Resolution that

40
00:02:59,360 --> 00:03:03,760
Speaker 2: it's just one irresponsible spending program after the next. I mean,

41
00:03:03,800 --> 00:03:07,480
Speaker 2: we're we are thirty six trillion dollars in debt right now.

42
00:03:08,480 --> 00:03:12,440
Speaker 2: Our country hit and exceeded the debt ceiling. We can't

43
00:03:12,520 --> 00:03:16,480
Speaker 2: even afford to pay the interest on our debt payments

44
00:03:16,520 --> 00:03:24,600
Speaker 2: right now, let alone the actual premium. This country is

45
00:03:24,639 --> 00:03:28,440
Speaker 2: in big, big trouble. Our debt has really made us

46
00:03:28,480 --> 00:03:31,480
Speaker 2: a sinking ship. We're sinking slowly over time. If we

47
00:03:31,560 --> 00:03:37,440
Speaker 2: continue business as usual, there will be no returning. There

48
00:03:37,440 --> 00:03:39,760
Speaker 2: will be no returning from this one way trip to

49
00:03:39,800 --> 00:03:44,080
Speaker 2: the bottom of the ocean. I mean understand, and this

50
00:03:44,240 --> 00:03:48,960
Speaker 2: is like a no bullshit assessment, folks, that every single

51
00:03:49,040 --> 00:03:52,680
Speaker 2: person in this country right now is born saddled with

52
00:03:52,760 --> 00:03:57,320
Speaker 2: over six figures of debt. I mean, your share of

53
00:03:57,360 --> 00:04:01,680
Speaker 2: our national debt is well over six figures at this point.

54
00:04:02,520 --> 00:04:05,920
Speaker 2: And many House Republicans, you know, Chip Roy being one

55
00:04:05,960 --> 00:04:08,840
Speaker 2: of them, and many of the certainly the members of

56
00:04:08,840 --> 00:04:12,880
Speaker 2: the House Freedom Caucus, said that they wanted three things

57
00:04:12,920 --> 00:04:15,120
Speaker 2: added to this spending bill, which they wanted to be

58
00:04:15,200 --> 00:04:18,760
Speaker 2: a clean spending bill, not more of the same. And

59
00:04:18,800 --> 00:04:21,760
Speaker 2: really the problem is, in addition to all the irresponsible spending,

60
00:04:22,000 --> 00:04:25,039
Speaker 2: the Democrats get every damn thing that they want on

61
00:04:25,120 --> 00:04:28,320
Speaker 2: the front end of a Trump administration, which would be

62
00:04:28,640 --> 00:04:32,760
Speaker 2: a disaster because buried in this spending bill are one

63
00:04:33,640 --> 00:04:36,400
Speaker 2: little trap after the next of how to stifle President

64
00:04:36,440 --> 00:04:39,400
Speaker 2: Trump's agenda. It's a disaster on so many levels. But

65
00:04:39,560 --> 00:04:42,320
Speaker 2: so many House members that I spoke to today they

66
00:04:42,360 --> 00:04:45,320
Speaker 2: said they wanted an agreement from leadership to follow the

67
00:04:45,400 --> 00:04:49,880
Speaker 2: seventy two hour rule, which is essentially the seventy two

68
00:04:49,880 --> 00:04:53,760
Speaker 2: hour rule gives legislators a mandatory seventy two hours to

69
00:04:53,880 --> 00:04:58,080
Speaker 2: read and understand what's in a bill. Common sense right.

70
00:04:59,200 --> 00:05:02,800
Speaker 2: They also wanted to vote on returning non defense spending

71
00:05:03,160 --> 00:05:06,760
Speaker 2: to pre COVID twenty nineteen twenty twenty levels, which would

72
00:05:06,800 --> 00:05:10,520
Speaker 2: save over one hundred billion dollars. And they wanted a

73
00:05:10,600 --> 00:05:14,840
Speaker 2: straight up ban in this cr on selling off the

74
00:05:14,880 --> 00:05:18,960
Speaker 2: remnants of the border wall. Folks, all of this is

75
00:05:19,720 --> 00:05:24,359
Speaker 2: to me, it's imminently reasonable. None of it made it

76
00:05:24,400 --> 00:05:28,080
Speaker 2: in the bill, and it makes me wonder why. I mean,

77
00:05:28,160 --> 00:05:32,120
Speaker 2: I know that Republicans are in the majority. It's a

78
00:05:32,120 --> 00:05:36,960
Speaker 2: slim majority, we understand that, but Republicans are still in

79
00:05:37,120 --> 00:05:40,440
Speaker 2: the majority. Here the things that we're asked for to

80
00:05:40,480 --> 00:05:43,120
Speaker 2: be added into this bill, especially given all the other

81
00:05:43,160 --> 00:05:47,240
Speaker 2: insane bullshit that's in it, it's not that much. And

82
00:05:47,320 --> 00:05:51,000
Speaker 2: what's more is this, have a look at this. A

83
00:05:51,040 --> 00:05:55,000
Speaker 2: motion to quash or modify upon motion made promptly by

84
00:05:55,000 --> 00:05:58,400
Speaker 2: a House Office or provider for a House office, a

85
00:05:58,520 --> 00:06:03,640
Speaker 2: court of competent jurisdiction shall quash or modify any legal

86
00:06:03,720 --> 00:06:08,360
Speaker 2: process directed to the provider for a House office if

87
00:06:08,440 --> 00:06:12,560
Speaker 2: compliance with the legal process would require the disclosure of

88
00:06:12,680 --> 00:06:15,359
Speaker 2: house data of the House office. Do you know what

89
00:06:15,400 --> 00:06:19,479
Speaker 2: that essentially means, folks. I'll leave it up there, but

90
00:06:19,640 --> 00:06:22,440
Speaker 2: on the heels of the report that the Department of

91
00:06:22,600 --> 00:06:28,640
Speaker 2: Justice attained emails of Adam Schiff and Eric Swalwell, proving

92
00:06:28,680 --> 00:06:32,440
Speaker 2: that they lead classified documents to the media, Congress has

93
00:06:32,560 --> 00:06:36,359
Speaker 2: then now inserted language into this spending bill, into this

94
00:06:36,440 --> 00:06:40,400
Speaker 2: continuing Resolution, which would allow it to quash any subpoena

95
00:06:40,480 --> 00:06:44,680
Speaker 2: cash proteller Pamboni might use for House data, which which

96
00:06:44,760 --> 00:06:48,080
Speaker 2: could in turn hold members of the January sixth Committee

97
00:06:48,080 --> 00:06:52,600
Speaker 2: accountable for their many crimes against this country, against Donald Trump,

98
00:06:52,920 --> 00:06:58,440
Speaker 2: against his allies. What this provision in this continuing Resolution

99
00:06:58,640 --> 00:07:03,760
Speaker 2: does is essentially cripple any investigation into Adam Schiff and

100
00:07:03,960 --> 00:07:07,919
Speaker 2: Eric Swalwell. It's a disaster. So just give you the

101
00:07:07,920 --> 00:07:10,760
Speaker 2: full story. On what's happening here with the CR talked

102
00:07:10,800 --> 00:07:14,400
Speaker 2: to many members of the House today. You know, most

103
00:07:14,440 --> 00:07:15,960
Speaker 2: of the people that I talked to in the House,

104
00:07:16,160 --> 00:07:17,880
Speaker 2: they're all on the same page with me. If I

105
00:07:17,920 --> 00:07:19,960
Speaker 2: were down there, I'd be a hell no on this,

106
00:07:20,680 --> 00:07:24,880
Speaker 2: you know, seven days a week and twice on Sunday.

107
00:07:24,920 --> 00:07:30,240
Speaker 2: But Elon Musk came out strong against this bill, and

108
00:07:30,320 --> 00:07:32,320
Speaker 2: based on the people that I'm talking to down there,

109
00:07:33,040 --> 00:07:37,239
Speaker 2: I'm telling you that when Elon Musk said on Twitter

110
00:07:37,360 --> 00:07:43,000
Speaker 2: on x today that any Republican who votes yes on

111
00:07:43,080 --> 00:07:46,600
Speaker 2: this bill should be voted out of office in two years,

112
00:07:47,400 --> 00:07:51,240
Speaker 2: I am told that is like like a little a

113
00:07:51,400 --> 00:07:54,640
Speaker 2: bomb when an Elon bomb went off on Capitol Hill

114
00:07:55,280 --> 00:07:58,760
Speaker 2: and sent members scrambling. And I'm told that the bill

115
00:07:59,000 --> 00:08:02,480
Speaker 2: is hemorrhaging report publican support. Now, by the way, you

116
00:08:02,600 --> 00:08:05,600
Speaker 2: shouldn't have needed Elon Musk to say he's get to

117
00:08:05,640 --> 00:08:08,800
Speaker 2: fund a primary challenger to just be opposed to this right.

118
00:08:09,720 --> 00:08:13,960
Speaker 2: But nevertheless, the bill is hemorrhaging republic Republican support. And

119
00:08:14,000 --> 00:08:17,720
Speaker 2: that's a very good thing, because this bill is an abomination.

120
00:08:18,400 --> 00:08:22,560
Speaker 2: Now Trump and JD Van suppose it. They released a statement.

121
00:08:23,760 --> 00:08:25,280
Speaker 2: I think I might just read it to you, because

122
00:08:25,320 --> 00:08:28,200
Speaker 2: I want you to hear the whole thing that Trump

123
00:08:28,240 --> 00:08:31,520
Speaker 2: and Vance say. The most foolish and inept thing ever

124
00:08:31,600 --> 00:08:35,400
Speaker 2: done by Congressional Republicans was allowing our country to hit

125
00:08:35,400 --> 00:08:38,240
Speaker 2: the debt ceiling in twenty twenty five. It was a mistake,

126
00:08:38,640 --> 00:08:42,000
Speaker 2: and it's now something that must be addressed. Meanwhile, Congress

127
00:08:42,080 --> 00:08:45,240
Speaker 2: is considering a spending bill that would give sweetheart provisions

128
00:08:45,240 --> 00:08:49,080
Speaker 2: for government censors and for Liz Cheney. The bill would

129
00:08:49,080 --> 00:08:51,560
Speaker 2: make it easier to hide the records of the corrupt

130
00:08:51,600 --> 00:08:55,240
Speaker 2: January sixth Committee, which accomplished nothing for the American people

131
00:08:55,240 --> 00:08:58,400
Speaker 2: when hid security failures that happened that day. This bill

132
00:08:58,440 --> 00:09:01,439
Speaker 2: would also give Congress a pay increase. We haven't even

133
00:09:01,440 --> 00:09:03,800
Speaker 2: gotten to that part of it yet, a pay increase

134
00:09:03,840 --> 00:09:07,760
Speaker 2: while many Americans are struggling this Christmas. Increasing the debt

135
00:09:07,800 --> 00:09:11,160
Speaker 2: ceiling is not great, but we'd rather do it on

136
00:09:11,280 --> 00:09:15,800
Speaker 2: Biden's watch. If Democrats won't cooperate on the debt ceiling, now,

137
00:09:16,080 --> 00:09:18,560
Speaker 2: what makes anyone think they would do it in June

138
00:09:18,640 --> 00:09:22,000
Speaker 2: during our administration. So let's have this debate now. We

139
00:09:22,000 --> 00:09:25,640
Speaker 2: should pass a streamline spending bill that doesn't give Chuck

140
00:09:25,679 --> 00:09:29,120
Speaker 2: Schumer and the Democrats everything they want. Republicans want to

141
00:09:29,160 --> 00:09:32,160
Speaker 2: support our farmers, We want to pay for disaster relief

142
00:09:32,559 --> 00:09:35,000
Speaker 2: and set our country up for success in twenty twenty five.

143
00:09:35,280 --> 00:09:38,000
Speaker 2: The only way to do that is with a temporary

144
00:09:38,000 --> 00:09:42,920
Speaker 2: funding bill without Democrat giveaways, combined with an increase in

145
00:09:42,960 --> 00:09:46,160
Speaker 2: the debt ceiling. Anything else is a betrayal of our country.

146
00:09:47,160 --> 00:09:51,560
Speaker 2: Republicans must get smart and get tough. If Democrats threaten

147
00:09:51,640 --> 00:09:54,440
Speaker 2: to shut down the government unless we give them everything

148
00:09:54,480 --> 00:09:58,320
Speaker 2: they want, then call their bluff. It is Schumer and

149
00:09:58,400 --> 00:10:02,400
Speaker 2: Biden who are holding up a door farmers and disaster relief.

150
00:10:02,440 --> 00:10:05,200
Speaker 2: This chaos would not be happening if we had a

151
00:10:05,200 --> 00:10:08,920
Speaker 2: real president. We will in thirty two days. That last

152
00:10:09,000 --> 00:10:13,319
Speaker 2: sentence was, of course capitalized in typical Donald Trump's style.

153
00:10:14,320 --> 00:10:18,160
Speaker 2: And so what I'm hearing right now, and I heard

154
00:10:18,160 --> 00:10:19,760
Speaker 2: this from a couple of members of the House. And

155
00:10:19,800 --> 00:10:24,680
Speaker 2: now it's been reported in Politico that Speaker Johnson because

156
00:10:24,720 --> 00:10:30,079
Speaker 2: of the backlash, because of people like you calling into

157
00:10:30,160 --> 00:10:35,120
Speaker 2: your congressional offices, to your constituent service offices, sending emails

158
00:10:35,160 --> 00:10:37,000
Speaker 2: doing whatever. Many of you all in the live chat

159
00:10:37,000 --> 00:10:39,160
Speaker 2: an hour before the show, said you dig just that

160
00:10:39,920 --> 00:10:46,400
Speaker 2: keep up the fire because of people like you putting

161
00:10:46,400 --> 00:10:50,240
Speaker 2: pressure on these members of Congress. Speaker Johnson is now

162
00:10:51,640 --> 00:10:54,080
Speaker 2: he's looking for a way to pull the bill from

163
00:10:54,160 --> 00:10:58,080
Speaker 2: the floor and replace it with a clean resolution spending bill.

164
00:10:58,160 --> 00:11:01,840
Speaker 2: So the point is, folks, we are winning, and we

165
00:11:01,960 --> 00:11:05,360
Speaker 2: are winning because of you. Okay, So I've got Savage

170
00:11:14,960 --> 00:11:19,720
Speaker 2: Americans are tired and frustrated by a stalling economy, inflation,

171
00:11:20,280 --> 00:11:25,679
Speaker 2: endless wars, and the relentless assault on our values. Thankfully,

172
00:11:26,040 --> 00:11:30,079
Speaker 2: there's companies like Patriot Mobile that still believe in America

173
00:11:30,120 --> 00:11:34,520
Speaker 2: and our constitution. You see, I am very proud to

174
00:11:34,600 --> 00:11:37,840
Speaker 2: partner with Patriot Mobile because they're on the front lines

175
00:11:37,880 --> 00:11:41,160
Speaker 2: fighting for the First and Second Amendments, sanctity of life

176
00:11:41,480 --> 00:11:45,800
Speaker 2: in our military, and first responder heroes take a stand

188
00:12:31,360 --> 00:12:34,880
Speaker 2: share your values or have the same coverage. They don't

189
00:12:35,280 --> 00:12:40,839
Speaker 2: and they can't. Switch to America's only Christian conservative mobile provider,

00:13:08,679 --> 00:13:11,120
Speaker 2: to know how many messages I got a lot of

200
00:13:11,160 --> 00:13:13,440
Speaker 2: messages about last week's show. Do you want to know

201
00:13:13,480 --> 00:13:17,600
Speaker 2: what those messages were about? Savage Rich drives a SUPERU.

202
00:13:17,679 --> 00:13:23,679
Speaker 1: What the hell's going on? Listen? The Touring Ascent is nice, folks,

203
00:13:23,720 --> 00:13:26,000
Speaker 1: and it's beastie if you need a little beast action

204
00:13:26,320 --> 00:13:30,640
Speaker 1: if you're that a Super U it is. Yeah, it's uh. Look,

205
00:13:30,679 --> 00:13:32,320
Speaker 1: I don't want to sound boogie or like I'm out

206
00:13:32,360 --> 00:13:32,640
Speaker 1: of touch.

207
00:13:32,760 --> 00:13:35,760
Speaker 2: That's why you stay Touring Ascent. You don't want to

208
00:13:35,800 --> 00:13:36,679
Speaker 2: say super U.

209
00:13:37,320 --> 00:13:41,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, well you know it's a little bit. Yeah, and listen,

210
00:13:41,120 --> 00:13:44,120
Speaker 1: it's gonna get worse because I'm done with the Super RU. Now.

211
00:13:44,200 --> 00:13:48,240
Speaker 1: Unfortunately they took away. They reduce the miles that you

212
00:13:48,320 --> 00:13:51,720
Speaker 1: can have every year on a lease, and I just

213
00:13:51,760 --> 00:13:54,560
Speaker 1: can't have that. I just can't have that. So like,

214
00:13:54,840 --> 00:13:57,160
Speaker 1: just let me pay the extra miles bundle, you know,

215
00:13:57,240 --> 00:13:59,240
Speaker 1: but they want you to stick to ten thousand, so

216
00:13:59,280 --> 00:14:01,480
Speaker 1: you go over it and then it can penalize you

217
00:14:01,559 --> 00:14:04,320
Speaker 1: after and listen, after being this loyal customer that pays

218
00:14:04,360 --> 00:14:07,200
Speaker 1: his bills every month for years. You know, I had

219
00:14:07,240 --> 00:14:07,800
Speaker 1: this car.

220
00:14:07,760 --> 00:14:08,680
Speaker 2: Built, Sean.

221
00:14:09,080 --> 00:14:11,520
Speaker 1: I waited like three months for this car in a

222
00:14:11,600 --> 00:14:13,640
Speaker 1: back whatever, and when I got it, I guess it

223
00:14:13,720 --> 00:14:18,400
Speaker 1: was like going on, going on to going on to Yeah,

224
00:14:18,760 --> 00:14:20,760
Speaker 1: so like I I just think this is like not

225
00:14:20,840 --> 00:14:23,160
Speaker 1: the way you treat a long time customer. So I'm

226
00:14:23,200 --> 00:14:26,560
Speaker 1: going with something else, buddy, and I'm going bigger and

227
00:14:26,560 --> 00:14:28,160
Speaker 1: I'm going better this.

228
00:14:28,360 --> 00:14:32,960
Speaker 2: See, you were very clever. What you're touring ascent is

229
00:14:33,000 --> 00:14:34,880
Speaker 2: what you called it. I'm like a touring ascent. I've

230
00:14:34,920 --> 00:14:37,600
Speaker 2: never heard that. What kind of car is that? A Subaru?

231
00:14:37,720 --> 00:14:41,800
Speaker 1: It's a little bougie. It's a little bougie. I like

232
00:14:41,840 --> 00:14:43,680
Speaker 1: to know what it looks like. It's just like a

233
00:14:43,720 --> 00:14:44,480
Speaker 1: little bougie.

234
00:14:44,520 --> 00:14:48,400
Speaker 2: And it was the driving around and a Subaru out back.

235
00:14:50,280 --> 00:14:53,240
Speaker 2: It's just honest. Can we just be honest? A Superaru

236
00:14:53,320 --> 00:14:54,240
Speaker 2: is a lesbian car?

237
00:14:55,680 --> 00:15:00,120
Speaker 1: Used to be a lesbian car. Yeah, that's true. I

238
00:15:00,200 --> 00:15:02,680
Speaker 1: knew a lot of lesbians back in Jersey. You rock

239
00:15:02,760 --> 00:15:06,720
Speaker 1: the outback, bro and my and my friend's dad. It

240
00:15:06,880 --> 00:15:12,000
Speaker 1: was definitely on the down low had an outback. That's

241
00:15:12,040 --> 00:15:14,840
Speaker 1: so true. I shouldn't even make jokes though he passed away,

242
00:15:14,840 --> 00:15:17,160
Speaker 1: had he passed away years ago? I shouldn't make jokes.

243
00:15:17,160 --> 00:15:20,440
Speaker 1: But hey, we all know it's an open secret at

244
00:15:20,440 --> 00:15:22,880
Speaker 1: this point. But this is Yeah, the touring is like

245
00:15:22,920 --> 00:15:25,440
Speaker 1: their suv. You know, it's like but it's a smaller

246
00:15:25,520 --> 00:15:28,480
Speaker 1: kind of sub but it does. It's like pilot seats,

247
00:15:28,560 --> 00:15:31,600
Speaker 1: seven seater. It's nice. But even this, it's just not

248
00:15:31,760 --> 00:15:35,800
Speaker 1: enough room when you got the kids like I have. Unfortunately,

249
00:15:35,880 --> 00:15:37,920
Speaker 1: Winston will not even be allowed in this new car

250
00:15:38,000 --> 00:15:41,320
Speaker 1: without being in because in the Superrew you can, like,

251
00:15:41,800 --> 00:15:44,160
Speaker 1: it's cool in the back. You can get all this

252
00:15:44,280 --> 00:15:46,200
Speaker 1: covering for all the list. You can get it leather

258
00:15:57,120 --> 00:16:00,840

00:20:17,080 --> 00:20:19,560
Speaker 1: when you go downtown where I live, it's like a

350
00:20:19,760 --> 00:20:24,200
Speaker 1: historic area. It looks like a Hallmark movie. It's incredible.

351
00:20:24,200 --> 00:20:25,520

Speaker 2: before Christmas. This is what we're gonna We're gonna weave

357
00:20:37,400 --> 00:20:39,680
Speaker 2: politics into it. I promise you will get we get

358
00:20:39,680 --> 00:20:41,840
Speaker 2: the news of the day, but you know what, my

359
00:20:42,080 --> 00:20:45,439
Speaker 2: Christmas cookies just so everybody knows, the thousands of people

360
00:20:45,440 --> 00:20:50,240
Speaker 2: who are watching and will listen after. I absolutely love

361
00:20:50,560 --> 00:20:55,680
Speaker 2: cookies too, straight up, too fanatic, I mean fanatic with cookies.

362
00:20:55,880 --> 00:20:58,680
Speaker 2: And my mom she makes amazing cookies, so does Melanie.

363
00:20:58,960 --> 00:21:03,600
Speaker 2: My my favorite cookies, My favorite cookies are those ones

364
00:21:03,640 --> 00:21:07,680
Speaker 2: with the Hershey kisses in them, you know, oh yeah,

365
00:21:07,880 --> 00:21:08,639
Speaker 2: like in the middle.

366
00:21:09,000 --> 00:21:10,920
Speaker 1: No, yeah, like a dollar.

367
00:21:12,960 --> 00:21:14,879
Speaker 2: And my daughter was like, how are you supposed to

368
00:21:14,880 --> 00:21:16,720
Speaker 2: eat them? I'm like, well, actually, it's funny you should

369
00:21:16,720 --> 00:21:19,919
Speaker 2: ask that, because there are a couple of different Techniquesbble around,

370
00:21:21,320 --> 00:21:24,520
Speaker 2: dribble around the outside to make sure that the chocolate

371
00:21:24,600 --> 00:21:28,240
Speaker 2: Porsche proportionality is in line with the cookie portionality. And

372
00:21:28,280 --> 00:21:30,320
Speaker 2: then when you're done, you've got just the top of

373
00:21:30,359 --> 00:21:32,760
Speaker 2: the Hershey Kiss in the bottom of the cookie. Or

374
00:21:32,840 --> 00:21:35,200
Speaker 2: you can just eat the Hershey Kiss right off the top,

375
00:21:35,359 --> 00:21:39,119
Speaker 2: or just bite it in half. Three techniques all completely

376
00:21:39,160 --> 00:21:41,800
Speaker 2: fine with me. Or you could be a big battye

377
00:21:41,800 --> 00:21:43,480
Speaker 2: and just slam the whole thing.

378
00:21:45,000 --> 00:21:47,560
Speaker 1: So terrible, but usually you can't do that because the

379
00:21:47,600 --> 00:21:49,520
Speaker 1: Hershey Kiss might hit the top of your the roof

380
00:21:49,560 --> 00:21:52,000
Speaker 1: of your mouth, and it's very difficult to chew the

381
00:21:52,040 --> 00:21:55,000
Speaker 1: chewy part underneath the hershey kiss if that happens, So

382
00:21:55,280 --> 00:22:01,080
Speaker 1: I recommend, I personally recommend the half bite. Okay, half bite,

383
00:22:01,240 --> 00:22:03,840
Speaker 1: half bite takes the spike of the hershey kiss off

384
00:22:04,160 --> 00:22:07,680
Speaker 1: right because usually like the moler just crushes right through it,

385
00:22:07,720 --> 00:22:10,320
Speaker 1: but leaves a nice fat portion that goes with the

386
00:22:10,359 --> 00:22:12,199
Speaker 1: rest of the cookie. Lovely. I love it.

387
00:22:12,240 --> 00:22:14,120
Speaker 2: That's a fourth technique and I'll allow it.

388
00:22:14,480 --> 00:22:19,960
Speaker 1: I'll allow it. I'm calling an audible. I'm a cookie

389
00:22:20,000 --> 00:22:22,280
Speaker 1: lover too, Sean, and it's bad and I gotta work

390
00:22:22,320 --> 00:22:24,399
Speaker 1: it off every year. It's the way it's it's just

391
00:22:24,440 --> 00:22:27,080
Speaker 1: the way it is. Also like an antipasta that we have.

392
00:22:27,560 --> 00:22:29,560
Speaker 1: Of course, on Christmas Eve, we don't have any meat,

393
00:22:29,800 --> 00:22:32,680
Speaker 1: you know, like that we have fish. But on Christmas

394
00:22:32,800 --> 00:22:35,560
Speaker 1: Day and and even New Year's you know, the an

395
00:22:35,600 --> 00:22:39,720
Speaker 1: aposta is just evil delicious with the super sod and

396
00:22:39,720 --> 00:22:42,560
Speaker 1: the prejut though, And I won't eat whatever the hell

397
00:22:42,680 --> 00:22:45,119
Speaker 1: I want to eat on Christmas, you know, I just

398
00:22:45,160 --> 00:22:47,720
Speaker 1: that's the one time where I'll just throw caution to

399
00:22:47,760 --> 00:22:50,200
Speaker 1: the wind. Thanksgiving to everybody. It's a lot of Thanksgiving,

400
00:22:50,240 --> 00:22:53,320
Speaker 1: but it's like Christmas is really bad, you know. And

401
00:22:53,320 --> 00:22:55,760
Speaker 1: then I went downtown. When we were there, I went

402
00:22:55,800 --> 00:22:58,520
Speaker 1: into this place. It's like fame for its fudge. Oh

403
00:22:58,600 --> 00:23:03,800
Speaker 1: my god, the eggnog fudge. I got? What else? Did

404
00:23:03,800 --> 00:23:08,040
Speaker 1: I get? The maple pecon or something? I don't even know.

405
00:23:08,119 --> 00:23:10,240
Speaker 1: There were so many I couldn't choose, so I said,

406
00:23:10,280 --> 00:23:15,199
Speaker 1: you get in your superwater block down block and I

407
00:23:15,400 --> 00:23:17,639
Speaker 1: roll with it. By the way, they also have a

408
00:23:17,680 --> 00:23:19,600
Speaker 1: super famous Santa. He's amazing.

409
00:23:20,160 --> 00:23:25,040
Speaker 2: He is like, oh the the og, you said, laugh

410
00:23:25,119 --> 00:23:25,680
Speaker 2: and everything?

411
00:23:26,119 --> 00:23:26,800
Speaker 1: You know? Not me?

412
00:23:28,960 --> 00:23:30,040
Speaker 2: Oh sure, not me.

413
00:23:32,359 --> 00:23:36,040
Speaker 1: Hey, Daddy needs something for Christmas too, right, I've been

414
00:23:36,080 --> 00:23:37,520
Speaker 1: a damn good boy this year.

415
00:23:37,640 --> 00:23:42,120
Speaker 2: Unless you watch some bar now on Wednesday nights, everybody's

00:23:48,520 --> 00:23:51,600
Speaker 1: Little bit a little bit. I gotta let lose somewhere.

419
00:23:51,400 --> 00:23:54,639
Speaker 2: Every Wednesday at five you just annihilate people because I

420
00:23:54,640 --> 00:23:56,600
Speaker 2: got to get out. You know what, I've been popping off.

421
00:23:56,760 --> 00:23:59,640
Speaker 1: I've been popping off last the last the last month

422
00:23:59,680 --> 00:24:01,840
Speaker 1: and a has been a little bit rough on inside

423
00:24:01,840 --> 00:24:05,800
Speaker 1: the numbers. I've gotten messages from people like, look, you

424
00:24:05,840 --> 00:24:10,280
Speaker 1: know I like the math stuff. Okay, maybe you need

425
00:24:10,359 --> 00:24:13,040
Speaker 1: to get a little bit And I'm like, look, you're

426
00:24:13,080 --> 00:24:16,199
Speaker 1: you're not me. I'm pissed. I'm getting annoyed. It's to

427
00:24:16,240 --> 00:24:18,560
Speaker 1: the point where, uh, and you know this, we talk

428
00:24:18,640 --> 00:24:21,639
Speaker 1: about this, Sean. It's like they have turned my job

429
00:24:22,000 --> 00:24:24,880
Speaker 1: into one of the worst things you could do, which

430
00:24:24,920 --> 00:24:29,520
Speaker 1: is just listen to people's constant and valid disappointment. Right,

431
00:24:29,680 --> 00:24:31,720
Speaker 1: And I was actually listening to what you were saying

432
00:24:31,800 --> 00:24:35,000
Speaker 1: talking about the cr What do you stand for?

433
00:24:35,080 --> 00:24:35,240
Speaker 2: Then?

434
00:24:35,760 --> 00:24:38,840
Speaker 1: I like, this is all voters want to know. What

435
00:24:39,000 --> 00:24:40,600
Speaker 1: exactly do you stand for?

436
00:24:40,640 --> 00:24:40,840
Speaker 2: Then?

437
00:24:41,119 --> 00:24:43,280
Speaker 1: If nothing is ever worth fighting, Oh, we have a

438
00:24:43,320 --> 00:24:46,679
Speaker 1: slim majority. When you had two hundred and forty seats,

439
00:24:46,720 --> 00:24:51,119
Speaker 1: you still couldn't get it done. You'll exactly exactly so.

440
00:24:51,240 --> 00:24:53,400
Speaker 1: And you only, by the way, have a slim majority

441
00:24:53,640 --> 00:24:57,800
Speaker 1: because you're so weak and you're such cowards. You couldn't

442
00:24:57,800 --> 00:25:01,840
Speaker 1: fight them on redistricting. They clap you put fat Chris

443
00:25:02,000 --> 00:25:06,080
Speaker 1: Christie in charge of something he didn't even understand, and

444
00:25:06,119 --> 00:25:07,840
Speaker 1: he lost everywhere.

445
00:25:08,520 --> 00:25:10,920
Speaker 2: Did you see Trump's meme on Chris Christie?

446
00:25:10,960 --> 00:25:14,960
Speaker 1: Who that's where the jones are. Don't worry folks. We're

447
00:25:14,960 --> 00:25:18,880
Speaker 1: not being invaded by aliens. It's just the drone delivery

448
00:25:18,960 --> 00:25:20,840
Speaker 1: service trying to keep up with Chris Christie.

449
00:25:22,520 --> 00:25:25,760
Speaker 2: Okay, so speak of speaking of polsters, I want to

450
00:25:25,800 --> 00:25:28,240
Speaker 2: play the Scott Jennings sound on CNN. I'll get to

451
00:25:28,280 --> 00:25:31,600
Speaker 2: your reaction. It's it's in the context of Trump going

452
00:25:31,680 --> 00:25:34,840
Speaker 2: after the de Boine Register and an Seltzer out there.

453
00:25:36,200 --> 00:25:39,280
Speaker 2: You were the first to call this out, and kudos

454
00:25:39,320 --> 00:25:42,800
Speaker 2: to you for that about how there's some real crazy

455
00:25:42,840 --> 00:25:46,080
Speaker 2: shady stuff going on between Democrats and Ann Seltzer before

456
00:25:46,080 --> 00:25:49,600
Speaker 2: the release of that pole. Were they communicating behind the scenes?

457
00:25:49,640 --> 00:25:52,280
Speaker 2: Did money exchange hands? And that's the core of the issue.

458
00:25:52,480 --> 00:25:54,720
Speaker 2: Like the Democrats and people in the media trying to

459
00:25:54,720 --> 00:25:56,840
Speaker 2: make it like, oh, Trump's suing the Des Moines Register

460
00:25:56,920 --> 00:26:00,639
Speaker 2: because Ann's pole had him underperforming, That's not the What

461
00:26:00,680 --> 00:26:03,240
Speaker 2: was she paid to do it is the issue. What's

462
00:26:03,240 --> 00:26:06,359
Speaker 2: she coordinating with the Democrats was the issue. So, okay,

463
00:26:06,400 --> 00:26:08,160
Speaker 2: listen to this, and I want to get your reaction. Yes,

464
00:26:08,600 --> 00:26:11,080
Speaker 2: where I could go, not just the Donald Trump of

465
00:26:11,119 --> 00:26:13,120
Speaker 2: it all, but I mean, if he's creating precedent, it's

466
00:26:13,119 --> 00:26:13,640
Speaker 2: for everyone.

467
00:26:13,800 --> 00:26:16,959
Speaker 3: Well, when you introduced Michael use's word narratives, you know.

468
00:26:17,200 --> 00:26:20,439
Speaker 3: And I think one of the reasons Republicans are cheering

469
00:26:20,480 --> 00:26:24,240
Speaker 3: on this muscular attitude from Trump and pushing back against

470
00:26:24,280 --> 00:26:29,480
Speaker 3: some of this is because Republicans feel like constantly media organizations,

471
00:26:29,600 --> 00:26:32,760
Speaker 3: especially in the throes of campaigns, work over time to

472
00:26:32,800 --> 00:26:36,040
Speaker 3: create false narratives that may shape the contours of the election.

473
00:26:36,119 --> 00:26:38,960
Speaker 1: Look what happened when this poll came out in Iowa.

474
00:26:39,080 --> 00:26:42,679
Speaker 3: The entire English speaking world was talking about the gold

475
00:26:42,760 --> 00:26:46,840
Speaker 3: standard polster and Harris has this momentum, and ultimately what

476
00:26:46,880 --> 00:26:50,200
Speaker 3: we were told was complete garbage. And if you talk

477
00:26:50,280 --> 00:26:52,479
Speaker 3: to polsters at the time, they would have told you

478
00:26:52,840 --> 00:26:55,440
Speaker 3: this is not real. This methodology is not good anymore.

479
00:26:55,760 --> 00:26:58,440
Speaker 3: But that's not what people chose to run with because

480
00:26:58,480 --> 00:27:00,720
Speaker 3: it fit what most people in the press wanted the

481
00:27:00,800 --> 00:27:01,320
Speaker 3: narrative to be.

482
00:27:01,359 --> 00:27:03,919
Speaker 1: So he's pushing back on that. I don't frankly have

483
00:27:03,960 --> 00:27:04,560
Speaker 1: a problem with it.

484
00:27:04,560 --> 00:27:06,679
Speaker 3: And if they can pitulate, it's because they don't want

485
00:27:06,680 --> 00:27:08,040
Speaker 3: to go through the discovery and what.

486
00:27:07,960 --> 00:27:12,919
Speaker 1: That might show. Okay, I got it, like, because they

487
00:27:12,960 --> 00:27:15,520
Speaker 1: would never have someone like me on even though I'm

488
00:27:15,560 --> 00:27:18,400
Speaker 1: the only one who has the full story. People don't

489
00:27:18,440 --> 00:27:20,679
Speaker 1: know the whole story, and I'm the as far as

490
00:27:20,760 --> 00:27:23,920
Speaker 1: I know, I'm the only one who has the full story.

491
00:27:24,280 --> 00:27:26,359
Speaker 1: And I told it's not like I didn't pick up

492
00:27:26,400 --> 00:27:30,960
Speaker 1: the phone and call everybody two days before before this

493
00:27:31,040 --> 00:27:33,400
Speaker 1: poll was released and told him exactly what the poll

494
00:27:33,440 --> 00:27:36,439
Speaker 1: result was. And I only knew that because this is

495
00:27:36,520 --> 00:27:39,920
Speaker 1: not the first problem with Anne Seltzer. Okay, I will

496
00:27:39,960 --> 00:27:43,199
Speaker 1: rewind the clock real quick again. In twenty twenty, the

497
00:27:43,200 --> 00:27:47,320
Speaker 1: Democratic Caucus was going on, she spiked a poll which no,

498
00:27:47,320 --> 00:27:50,040
Speaker 1: no media organization ever should have allowed her to do.

499
00:27:50,280 --> 00:27:52,320
Speaker 1: But she spiked the poll at the behest of the

500
00:27:52,359 --> 00:27:55,760
Speaker 1: Biden campaign because Biden was in fourth place. Pete Buddhajeedge

501
00:27:55,880 --> 00:27:58,800
Speaker 1: was used as a foil in a fake a fake

502
00:27:59,000 --> 00:28:02,040
Speaker 1: excuse or why they even spiked that pole. So this

503
00:28:02,160 --> 00:28:04,520
Speaker 1: is not even the first thing to happen with Ann Seltzer.

504
00:28:04,680 --> 00:28:08,320
Speaker 1: Both myself and Mike Cernovich got our hands on the

505
00:28:08,359 --> 00:28:11,119
Speaker 1: results of that pole and put it on Twitter for

506
00:28:11,280 --> 00:28:14,840
Speaker 1: everybody to see, Okay, And they gave some bs excuse

507
00:28:14,920 --> 00:28:18,120
Speaker 1: about one interviewer who may lucas he doesn't see well,

508
00:28:18,400 --> 00:28:20,840
Speaker 1: have zoomed in too much on the screen and cut

509
00:28:20,880 --> 00:28:23,600
Speaker 1: boot people to Judge's name off of the screen for

510
00:28:23,680 --> 00:28:27,320
Speaker 1: one or two interviews. Even Patrick Murray, who's a lefty

511
00:28:27,440 --> 00:28:31,480
Speaker 1: polster from Mammat University, jumped on my bandwagon and said, no,

512
00:28:31,600 --> 00:28:33,600
Speaker 1: he's right, this is not a valid excuse.

513
00:28:33,640 --> 00:28:34,840
Speaker 2: Something is going on here.

514
00:28:35,000 --> 00:28:36,960
Speaker 1: So this is not the first thing to happen with

515
00:28:37,240 --> 00:28:42,760
Speaker 1: gold Standard and above Reproach and Seltzer. Then fast forward

516
00:28:42,920 --> 00:28:45,920
Speaker 1: to twenty twenty four, which, by the way, in between

517
00:28:46,360 --> 00:28:49,320
Speaker 1: Barnes and I would be on inside the Numbers live

518
00:28:49,480 --> 00:28:52,640
Speaker 1: polling people and showing the results of our Iowa polls.

519
00:28:52,840 --> 00:28:55,440
Speaker 1: She would come out with constant narrative polling about how

520
00:28:55,520 --> 00:28:57,680
Speaker 1: Iowa was tied with Biden and Trump, and it was

521
00:28:57,800 --> 00:29:01,720
Speaker 1: never tied. It was always Trump plus six, Trump plus eight,

522
00:29:01,960 --> 00:29:04,960
Speaker 1: it was never competitive, and she would narrative polled and

523
00:29:04,960 --> 00:29:07,080
Speaker 1: make it look like it was close in September, and

524
00:29:07,120 --> 00:29:10,800
Speaker 1: then come November, right before she would heard real quick

525
00:29:11,320 --> 00:29:13,400
Speaker 1: back to our polling numbers and make it look like

526
00:29:13,440 --> 00:29:16,800
Speaker 1: it was a Trump blowout. Public opinion doesn't move like that.

527
00:29:17,160 --> 00:29:19,880
Speaker 1: If you have followed me for years, you know one thing,

528
00:29:20,680 --> 00:29:24,400
Speaker 1: if nothing else, it's that public opinion never moves like

529
00:29:24,480 --> 00:29:27,720
Speaker 1: almost never moves like that. Those are artifacts of the

530
00:29:27,760 --> 00:29:30,280
Speaker 1: poll themselves, and the way the pollster is crunching those

531
00:29:30,360 --> 00:29:32,960
Speaker 1: numbers or waiting that data now, or how they collected

532
00:29:32,960 --> 00:29:35,520
Speaker 1: that month. Maybe they ran into a really bad response.

533
00:29:35,560 --> 00:29:37,840
Speaker 1: Bi Us. Here's what I fear most with Anne, because

534
00:29:37,840 --> 00:29:40,800
Speaker 1: I'm talking to people and how I came to know

535
00:29:40,920 --> 00:29:44,560
Speaker 1: the result of that poll before it came out. I

536
00:29:44,600 --> 00:29:47,400
Speaker 1: think it's very likely she didn't get a damn thing

537
00:29:47,440 --> 00:29:51,960
Speaker 1: for it. That Anne is so twisted. From what I understand,

538
00:29:52,040 --> 00:29:54,880
Speaker 1: January sixth broke her brain and it was already on

539
00:29:54,880 --> 00:29:56,880
Speaker 1: the way to being broken. She's always been a liberal,

540
00:29:56,920 --> 00:30:01,160
Speaker 1: all right. She's always really been good at po democratic support,

541
00:30:01,200 --> 00:30:04,920
Speaker 1: not Republican support. She missed the twenty the two thousand

542
00:30:04,960 --> 00:30:07,840
Speaker 1: and four election by a landslide margin. Bro She had

543
00:30:07,920 --> 00:30:10,560
Speaker 1: Kerry winning Iowa and Bush beat him there, all right,

544
00:30:10,600 --> 00:30:12,880
Speaker 1: but she had him winning and winning comfortably, all right,

545
00:30:12,880 --> 00:30:14,360
Speaker 1: So it was like Kerry plus five or six.

546
00:30:14,360 --> 00:30:16,400
Speaker 2: Why do they call her the gold standard?

547
00:30:16,720 --> 00:30:19,400
Speaker 1: Not the gold standard? She hasn't been the gold standard

548
00:30:19,440 --> 00:30:22,120
Speaker 1: for years because she heards it just the right time,

549
00:30:22,280 --> 00:30:25,240
Speaker 1: That's why. Because she's hurt. And I don't mean herds

550
00:30:25,440 --> 00:30:28,239
Speaker 1: towards the consensus. I mean herds towards people who are

551
00:30:28,280 --> 00:30:30,600
Speaker 1: actually right right, So there was like one or two

552
00:30:30,600 --> 00:30:33,200
Speaker 1: of us who could pull Iowa, and I swear bro

553
00:30:33,320 --> 00:30:35,360
Speaker 1: she'd be looking at the last minute, oh what is

554
00:30:35,640 --> 00:30:38,320
Speaker 1: this number? Saying in her right back to it real quick.

555
00:30:38,520 --> 00:30:41,240
Speaker 1: The truth is it was never It was never tied

556
00:30:41,320 --> 00:30:44,560
Speaker 1: with Biden and Trump. It was always a beating of

557
00:30:44,600 --> 00:30:47,120
Speaker 1: the highest order there. And then I told you this

558
00:30:47,240 --> 00:30:50,240
Speaker 1: when we were pulling, I aggregated all of the responses

559
00:30:50,240 --> 00:30:52,600
Speaker 1: that we had from the state of Iowa in the

560
00:30:52,640 --> 00:30:55,840
Speaker 1: month of October, and it was almost identical to the

561
00:30:55,880 --> 00:30:59,160
Speaker 1: margin with minor weights. So I don't even think it

562
00:30:59,200 --> 00:31:01,600
Speaker 1: was a response by So I think she's so twisted

563
00:31:01,680 --> 00:31:04,719
Speaker 1: up that she's lost her ability to be impartial. And

564
00:31:04,760 --> 00:31:07,280
Speaker 1: that is, by the way, how I'm just gonna say this,

565
00:31:07,320 --> 00:31:10,440
Speaker 1: and I'm not gonna get anybody in trouble or how

566
00:31:10,520 --> 00:31:12,920
Speaker 1: I know this is because I'm not the only one

567
00:31:12,920 --> 00:31:17,080
Speaker 1: who believes that. And there have been numerous instances that

568
00:31:17,120 --> 00:31:20,840
Speaker 1: they have tried to raise, but they couldn't because Anne's

569
00:31:20,880 --> 00:31:25,680
Speaker 1: got like a bulletproof reputation. So every time they tried

570
00:31:25,680 --> 00:31:28,760
Speaker 1: to raise concerns that Anne is not impartial, I heard

571
00:31:28,760 --> 00:31:32,080
Speaker 1: her on the phone talking to Democrats, cackling and laughing

572
00:31:32,120 --> 00:31:34,200
Speaker 1: about the results. And then when you would try to

573
00:31:34,200 --> 00:31:36,760
Speaker 1: bring those concerns, they would try to bring those concerns,

574
00:31:37,040 --> 00:31:39,880
Speaker 1: they would get shut down in a second, bro shut

575
00:31:39,880 --> 00:31:40,680
Speaker 1: down in a second.

576
00:31:40,920 --> 00:31:43,240
Speaker 2: So what do you do when you're in that position.

577
00:31:44,360 --> 00:31:44,880
Speaker 2: You leak it.

578
00:31:45,840 --> 00:31:48,720
Speaker 1: You leak it. And it's not like I didn't call

579
00:31:48,760 --> 00:31:52,479
Speaker 1: everyone in their mother, everyone in their mother and tell

580
00:31:52,560 --> 00:31:56,120
Speaker 1: them exactly what Anne's result would be that weekend and

581
00:31:56,160 --> 00:31:57,640
Speaker 1: guess what, I was right.

582
00:31:57,720 --> 00:32:01,200
Speaker 2: And by the way, you're one of them, exactly exactly.

583
00:32:01,200 --> 00:32:03,600
Speaker 2: That's what I was just gonna say. That's you told me,

584
00:32:04,320 --> 00:32:07,840
Speaker 2: exactly what you told me. And what's crazy about this?

585
00:32:08,040 --> 00:32:11,440
Speaker 2: In Trump's lawsuit, where he goes after the Des Moines register,

586
00:32:12,440 --> 00:32:17,320
Speaker 2: he cites a couple of Democrat screenshots with Democrat tweets

587
00:32:17,360 --> 00:32:20,840
Speaker 2: saying where do you see this? And seltzer pole. So

588
00:32:21,000 --> 00:32:23,920
Speaker 2: somehow these demoperatives got their hands on it before it

589
00:32:23,960 --> 00:32:24,480
Speaker 2: was released.

590
00:32:25,160 --> 00:32:28,640
Speaker 1: I understand that she told somebody who's like a demoperative

591
00:32:28,880 --> 00:32:33,160
Speaker 1: and a lawyer, I'll just say that out loud, and

592
00:32:33,200 --> 00:32:36,520
Speaker 1: then that got around through that person a lot of that,

593
00:32:37,040 --> 00:32:40,640
Speaker 1: and then they got calls to basically confirm whether or

594
00:32:40,680 --> 00:32:43,560
Speaker 1: not it was true or not, and she happily confirmed it,

595
00:32:43,680 --> 00:32:46,640
Speaker 1: like and you know, with something to the well, I

596
00:32:46,680 --> 00:32:48,680
Speaker 1: don't want to say as if I say exactly what

597
00:32:48,960 --> 00:32:51,360
Speaker 1: her response is, then it may put someone in jeopardy.

598
00:32:51,400 --> 00:32:53,520
Speaker 1: So I'm not going to do that. But believe me,

599
00:32:53,680 --> 00:32:57,680
Speaker 1: she happily, happily told them that this poll was going

600
00:32:57,760 --> 00:32:59,960
Speaker 1: to be a bombshell and it was going to blow

601
00:33:00,080 --> 00:33:02,880
Speaker 1: the whole thing up, you know, and oh, yeah, we caught.

602
00:33:03,120 --> 00:33:05,560
Speaker 1: And I think too, she wanted to believe it. I

603
00:33:05,600 --> 00:33:08,200
Speaker 1: think she wanted to believe that there was some kind

604
00:33:08,240 --> 00:33:11,040
Speaker 1: of movement with Republican women and young voters who cared

605
00:33:11,040 --> 00:33:14,000
Speaker 1: about abortion. Like if this is the problem with this job,

606
00:33:14,400 --> 00:33:18,160
Speaker 1: if you lose touch and you don't know the subjects

607
00:33:18,200 --> 00:33:21,040
Speaker 1: of your work, like I forget about the scope of

608
00:33:21,040 --> 00:33:22,960
Speaker 1: the work, but the subject of the work, which is

609
00:33:23,000 --> 00:33:25,440
Speaker 1: of course the voter. And with her it's Iowa. Does

610
00:33:25,440 --> 00:33:28,200
Speaker 1: she look like she knows Iowa anymore? Give me a brother,

611
00:33:28,320 --> 00:33:31,080
Speaker 1: Does she sound like she knows Iowa anymore? Then she

612
00:33:31,160 --> 00:33:33,800
Speaker 1: goes on Mark Halpern and Mark, this is for you.

613
00:33:33,800 --> 00:33:35,400
Speaker 2: You let her get away with that crap.

614
00:33:35,600 --> 00:33:39,040
Speaker 1: If you would have had me sitting on the side

615
00:33:39,200 --> 00:33:41,640
Speaker 1: of the screen next to her while she gave you

616
00:33:41,720 --> 00:33:46,920
Speaker 1: some bullshit excuse, I would have teared her apart and say,

617
00:33:47,160 --> 00:33:49,960
Speaker 1: what did she say? First of all, she immediately jumped

618
00:33:49,960 --> 00:33:52,560
Speaker 1: on the abortion narrative. And the funny thing about that

619
00:33:52,760 --> 00:33:55,600
Speaker 1: is that wasn't even the number one voting group in

620
00:33:55,680 --> 00:33:58,880
Speaker 1: her poll. So the demographic itself, all right, that she

621
00:33:59,040 --> 00:34:01,440
Speaker 1: was trying to blame the results of the poll were

622
00:34:01,480 --> 00:34:04,080
Speaker 1: not even the number one or top voting block in

623
00:34:04,120 --> 00:34:07,600
Speaker 1: the poll. So the sample for that voter, the abortion voter,

624
00:34:07,960 --> 00:34:10,240
Speaker 1: wasn't big enough to cause that big of a miss.

625
00:34:10,400 --> 00:34:14,040
Speaker 1: That's number one number, well, the number one for her,

626
00:34:14,280 --> 00:34:16,480
Speaker 1: The biggest voting group was actually the most important voting

627
00:34:16,520 --> 00:34:19,399
Speaker 1: issue was protect threats to democracy. That kind of voter,

628
00:34:19,520 --> 00:34:22,120
Speaker 1: all right. And by the way, Trump won that vote.

629
00:34:22,160 --> 00:34:25,080
Speaker 1: So how bad was that poll that she even got

630
00:34:25,200 --> 00:34:27,920
Speaker 1: that wrong. And then there's another part to this, the

631
00:34:28,000 --> 00:34:32,600
Speaker 1: senior vote and the independent men. Somehow independent men swing

632
00:34:33,080 --> 00:34:38,040
Speaker 1: right to Trump from twenty twenty. Okay, yet Republican women

633
00:34:38,160 --> 00:34:43,320
Speaker 1: and seniors swing and I mean ridiculously thirty five points

634
00:34:43,320 --> 00:34:47,920
Speaker 1: with this group. But you know, a ridiculous result, the

635
00:34:48,040 --> 00:34:50,719
Speaker 1: kind of result where if you legitimately get noise. As

636
00:34:50,760 --> 00:34:54,799
Speaker 1: a polster, you go, I either got to stay in

637
00:34:54,800 --> 00:34:57,600
Speaker 1: the field longer, or I got to spike this poll.

638
00:34:57,680 --> 00:35:01,239
Speaker 1: I gotta you know, because sometimes you have to recognize

639
00:35:01,280 --> 00:35:03,960
Speaker 1: when you just get bad data. The problem with the

640
00:35:04,000 --> 00:35:06,360
Speaker 1: way that des Moines has always done this poll is

641
00:35:06,400 --> 00:35:08,879
Speaker 1: that if that happens to you, you're screwed. You're at

642
00:35:08,920 --> 00:35:12,520
Speaker 1: a time so she's not in the field long enough

643
00:35:12,600 --> 00:35:15,320
Speaker 1: before the poll is released to know whether orn she

644
00:35:15,520 --> 00:35:18,560
Speaker 1: experienced a day or two a noise. And this is

645
00:35:18,600 --> 00:35:21,480
Speaker 1: the problem with people from her wing of the polling

646
00:35:21,520 --> 00:35:24,680
Speaker 1: industry anyway. She is stuck on a certain way of

647
00:35:24,719 --> 00:35:28,920
Speaker 1: doing things Sean, and there's like no room for suggestions

648
00:35:29,000 --> 00:35:31,279
Speaker 1: on how to improve what you're doing. Or you know,

649
00:35:31,600 --> 00:35:34,719
Speaker 1: if you really did get a tied race in September

650
00:35:34,719 --> 00:35:37,759
Speaker 1: before the election with Biden Trump in twenty twenty, then

651
00:35:37,800 --> 00:35:40,560
Speaker 1: you have a response bias problem. And if you couldn't

652
00:35:40,600 --> 00:35:44,000
Speaker 1: recognize that, and you know you haven't tailored, may try

653
00:35:44,040 --> 00:35:46,319
Speaker 1: to tweak what you do or to tweak your methodology

654
00:35:46,360 --> 00:35:49,960
Speaker 1: to You can't always protect yourself from that, but you

655
00:35:50,040 --> 00:35:52,880
Speaker 1: can certainly limit it. People like may have been around

656
00:35:52,880 --> 00:35:55,400
Speaker 1: for many years now telling people how to do this.

657
00:35:55,719 --> 00:35:58,560
Speaker 1: They just don't listen, you know, and a big part

658
00:35:58,560 --> 00:36:01,800
Speaker 1: of that is because of conformation bias. That's the result

659
00:36:02,000 --> 00:36:05,160
Speaker 1: they want, Sean. This is what everyone has to understand.

660
00:36:05,360 --> 00:36:10,560
Speaker 1: That's the result Anne wanted. So Anne chose to believe it,

661
00:36:10,880 --> 00:36:15,200
Speaker 1: all right, despite the fact that they were insane, insane

662
00:36:15,280 --> 00:36:19,520
Speaker 1: demographic issues and red flags in that poll. Iowa is

663
00:36:19,640 --> 00:36:21,799
Speaker 1: never going to be d plus three again, all right,

664
00:36:21,880 --> 00:36:24,879
Speaker 1: not me, and you will probably be old geezers by

665
00:36:24,920 --> 00:36:28,000
Speaker 1: the time that ever happens. All right, That state is

666
00:36:28,080 --> 00:36:31,960
Speaker 1: now Trumplekin Ruby red. Not even I think Republicans are

667
00:36:32,000 --> 00:36:35,600
Speaker 1: dumb enough to like lose districts they're not supposed to lose,

668
00:36:35,719 --> 00:36:37,920
Speaker 1: or lose a governor's race or a Senate race that

669
00:36:37,960 --> 00:36:41,200
Speaker 1: they're not supposed to lose, but a maga Trump party

670
00:36:41,400 --> 00:36:45,200
Speaker 1: Trump at the top of the ticket. Bro, you don't

671
00:36:45,280 --> 00:36:48,880
Speaker 1: understand the time we're living in it all If you

672
00:36:48,960 --> 00:36:52,760
Speaker 1: don't see how Iowa is just totally off the table.

673
00:36:53,000 --> 00:36:55,200
Speaker 1: And if I got to do this and like spend

674
00:36:55,280 --> 00:36:58,080
Speaker 1: another hour to explain to Anna run damn state, then

675
00:36:58,080 --> 00:37:02,040
Speaker 1: Ann shouldn't be a bolster anymore. Telling you, it's more

676
00:37:02,080 --> 00:37:04,799
Speaker 1: than just that with Anne anyway, it's more than that.

677
00:37:05,000 --> 00:37:07,719
Speaker 1: And then she goes on Mark Show and gives this

678
00:37:08,200 --> 00:37:10,239
Speaker 1: and is a let's face it, I'm just gonna say it.

679
00:37:10,480 --> 00:37:13,799
Speaker 1: She's a condescending you know what to Speaker Gingrich in

680
00:37:13,840 --> 00:37:17,040
Speaker 1: an attempt to explain herself. Speaker Gingrich, Mark was not

681
00:37:17,080 --> 00:37:20,320
Speaker 1: a polling expert. You know, God loves speaker Gingrich. Everybody

682
00:37:20,360 --> 00:37:23,120
Speaker 1: respects him. Right, but he's not a polling expert. You

683
00:37:23,160 --> 00:37:26,239
Speaker 1: should have had someone like me or Spencer Kimball from

684
00:37:26,280 --> 00:37:29,680
Speaker 1: Emerson College, who knew immediately when we saw those numbers.

685
00:37:29,680 --> 00:37:34,680
Speaker 1: He was like, she missed with seniors. So obvious, so obvious.

686
00:37:34,960 --> 00:37:36,880
Speaker 1: He should have had who And by the way, Spencer

687
00:37:36,960 --> 00:37:40,000
Speaker 1: was right, So he should have had Spencer on who

688
00:37:40,120 --> 00:37:43,240
Speaker 1: had a dueling poll that very day that showed Trump

689
00:37:43,320 --> 00:37:46,440
Speaker 1: up by ten and a half. Trump won by thirteen. Homie,

690
00:37:46,920 --> 00:37:49,880
Speaker 1: who was right? Spencer or Ann should have been Spencer

691
00:37:49,920 --> 00:37:50,160
Speaker 1: on that.

692
00:37:50,280 --> 00:37:53,680
Speaker 2: If not me, well right, you stay right there. I

693
00:37:53,719 --> 00:37:56,880
Speaker 2: gotta do a couple of wreaths. Seriously, I want to

694
00:37:56,920 --> 00:37:59,640
Speaker 2: ask you a question about the cr I want to

695
00:37:59,640 --> 00:38:02,520
Speaker 2: ask you question about the Trump transition. And then we

696
00:38:02,600 --> 00:38:05,080
Speaker 2: got to get into the weeds on the Christmas poll. Okay,

697
00:38:05,200 --> 00:38:08,200
Speaker 2: stay right there, sure, all right, all right, be right

721
00:39:46,520 --> 00:39:52,120
Speaker 2: Inside the Numbers, director of Big Data Poll. Okay, this

722
00:39:52,200 --> 00:39:57,120
Speaker 2: continuing resolution Congress giving themselves to seventy three thousand dollars

723
00:39:57,120 --> 00:40:01,160
Speaker 2: pay raise. I mean, honestly, it's the city of these people.

724
00:40:01,520 --> 00:40:04,279
Speaker 2: It really is the craziest thing in the world. You have.

725
00:40:04,520 --> 00:40:07,680
Speaker 2: The seventy three thousand dollars is more than I think

726
00:40:07,800 --> 00:40:10,799
Speaker 2: more than the media and income in America. Right, So

727
00:40:10,920 --> 00:40:13,799
Speaker 2: that right there, But like what I can't get out

728
00:40:13,800 --> 00:40:17,920
Speaker 2: of my mind is that the very people, I mean,

729
00:40:17,920 --> 00:40:20,919
Speaker 2: they're going to say, well, look inflation, right, it's hard

730
00:40:21,000 --> 00:40:23,000
Speaker 2: and just hard to live in America with inflation. There

731
00:40:23,080 --> 00:40:26,799
Speaker 2: fault they're the ones that you're fault. Yes, yes, but

732
00:40:27,160 --> 00:40:31,239
Speaker 2: so they cause inflation, give themselves a pay raise. They

733
00:40:31,280 --> 00:40:34,720
Speaker 2: cause inflation, give them some we're not getting pay raises,

734
00:40:34,880 --> 00:40:37,480
Speaker 2: you know. It's it's the optics of it are just unbelievable.

735
00:40:37,800 --> 00:40:41,440
Speaker 1: It's widely understood that the Inflation Reduction Act was the

736
00:40:41,480 --> 00:40:44,880
Speaker 1: straw that broke the camel's back and sent inflation to

737
00:40:45,000 --> 00:40:48,840
Speaker 1: the moon after Biden changed and reverse course on energy policy,

738
00:40:49,200 --> 00:40:51,640
Speaker 1: and it was just too much for the economy to

739
00:40:51,640 --> 00:40:54,239
Speaker 1: handle after the CARES Act, which I have long criticized

740
00:40:54,239 --> 00:40:57,080
Speaker 1: Trump for signing, but I could have slipped away with that,

741
00:40:57,360 --> 00:41:02,240
Speaker 1: you know, not easily, but we could have. And they

742
00:41:02,239 --> 00:41:04,560
Speaker 1: didn't stop. They didn't fight. You know, we don't have

743
00:41:04,600 --> 00:41:06,120
Speaker 1: the majority, we don't have this, we don't have a

744
00:41:06,160 --> 00:41:07,880
Speaker 1: strong you know, we don't have the numbers. So they

745
00:41:07,880 --> 00:41:10,440
Speaker 1: couldn't stop the Inflation Reduction Acts. So they're they're you know,

746
00:41:10,480 --> 00:41:13,880
Speaker 1: their their weakness and unwillingness to fight leads to the

747
00:41:13,920 --> 00:41:16,120
Speaker 1: passage of that bill, which leads to inflation. And now

748
00:41:16,120 --> 00:41:18,440
Speaker 1: they want to pay raise because they failed to stop

749
00:41:18,480 --> 00:41:22,799
Speaker 1: bad policy. Listen, if Democrats had the minority numbers that

750
00:41:22,800 --> 00:41:25,880
Speaker 1: they that, uh, you know, if Democrats have the majority

751
00:41:25,920 --> 00:41:28,960
Speaker 1: numbers that Republicans have, they would get their agenda through,

752
00:41:29,000 --> 00:41:31,480
Speaker 1: as simple as that. And it's it's because of this

753
00:41:31,600 --> 00:41:36,719
Speaker 1: reason they are willing to at least demanded like the

754
00:41:36,800 --> 00:41:39,720
Speaker 1: whole entire dichotomy has to change. And that's what Republican

755
00:41:39,800 --> 00:41:44,120
Speaker 1: lawmakers don't understand this concept that somehow they're immediately at

756
00:41:44,120 --> 00:41:47,080
Speaker 1: a disadvantage and they have to have some massive majority

757
00:41:47,120 --> 00:41:49,400
Speaker 1: to be able to enact their agenda. That is not

758
00:41:49,480 --> 00:41:51,440
Speaker 1: the case when Democrats are in power. They can have

759
00:41:51,480 --> 00:41:54,440
Speaker 1: a very slim majority. They get everything they want because

760
00:41:54,640 --> 00:41:57,399
Speaker 1: it's understood that Democrats are going to fight, They're willing

761
00:41:57,440 --> 00:41:58,440
Speaker 1: to do whatever they have to do.

762
00:41:58,480 --> 00:42:00,160
Speaker 2: They'll go to the mat, you know, they'll do what

763
00:42:00,200 --> 00:42:00,759
Speaker 2: they have to do.

764
00:42:01,120 --> 00:42:03,640
Speaker 1: And Republicans are afraid of how the media is going

765
00:42:03,719 --> 00:42:06,160
Speaker 1: to cover them, you know, how they're going to treat

766
00:42:06,200 --> 00:42:09,240
Speaker 1: them when they when they pollice or they threaten government

767
00:42:09,320 --> 00:42:11,640
Speaker 1: shutdowns or whatever. Here's a little secret for them. Nobody

768
00:42:11,680 --> 00:42:13,200
Speaker 1: gives a damn what the media has to say anymore

769
00:42:13,239 --> 00:42:15,480
Speaker 1: right now in America, Do your damn job. Do what

770
00:42:15,520 --> 00:42:17,520
Speaker 1: you said you were going to do otherwise. This is

771
00:42:17,520 --> 00:42:18,720
Speaker 1: why they ran behind Trump.

772
00:42:18,760 --> 00:42:19,240
Speaker 2: Everywhere.

773
00:42:19,560 --> 00:42:23,160
Speaker 1: Nobody really understands what they believe in, what they what

774
00:42:23,200 --> 00:42:25,520
Speaker 1: are they willing to fight for, What are they doing there?

775
00:42:25,600 --> 00:42:27,400
Speaker 2: Like, what is the purpose of them there?

776
00:42:27,680 --> 00:42:30,520
Speaker 1: Why not just elect Democrats if that's the way you're

777
00:42:30,520 --> 00:42:31,480
Speaker 1: gonna act anyway.

778
00:42:31,560 --> 00:42:34,640
Speaker 2: Look, you said the Democrats. The Democrats in this spending

779
00:42:34,680 --> 00:42:37,440
Speaker 2: bill are getting everything that they want, everyway they.

780
00:42:37,320 --> 00:42:40,600
Speaker 1: Want, even though they're in the minority, and exactly're even allowing.

781
00:42:40,719 --> 00:42:43,600
Speaker 1: They're even allowing or would have allowed without listen. I

782
00:42:43,600 --> 00:42:47,440
Speaker 1: cannot stress how much of a positive force if you

783
00:42:47,480 --> 00:42:51,920
Speaker 1: are a reformer. I cannot stress how much impact Elon

784
00:42:52,080 --> 00:42:53,839
Speaker 1: Musk has had in this country in the last couple

785
00:42:53,880 --> 00:42:57,640
Speaker 1: of years. Buying x alone, buying Twitter alone, and revamping

786
00:42:57,680 --> 00:42:59,800
Speaker 1: it was already huge. They couldn't push any of the

787
00:42:59,840 --> 00:43:02,480
Speaker 1: b asked that they wanted to push because the censorship,

788
00:43:02,600 --> 00:43:05,880
Speaker 1: you know, ticket, the censorship card was off the table.

789
00:43:06,200 --> 00:43:10,240
Speaker 1: And now Elon Musk is literally in messages with Speaker

790
00:43:10,320 --> 00:43:14,880
Speaker 1: Johnson and like Vivak Ramaswami and like dms like together,

791
00:43:15,320 --> 00:43:18,800
Speaker 1: you know, and when he doesn't like something, Mike Johnson

792
00:43:18,800 --> 00:43:21,960
Speaker 1: hears it. If he did not do that and post

793
00:43:22,000 --> 00:43:25,680
Speaker 1: that his opposition, this thing would have slipped through and

794
00:43:25,719 --> 00:43:28,279
Speaker 1: we would have found out after the holidays when Trump

795
00:43:28,360 --> 00:43:30,640
Speaker 1: tried to get cash Betel to investigate what the hell

796
00:43:30,680 --> 00:43:32,960
Speaker 1: went on with January sixth, That's when we would have

797
00:43:33,000 --> 00:43:36,680
Speaker 1: found out that they were basically sheltered from you know,

798
00:43:36,760 --> 00:43:39,600
Speaker 1: being held responsible for any wrongdoing, because that's what they

799
00:43:39,600 --> 00:43:42,360
Speaker 1: made it. That's what that provision was going to do. Sean,

800
00:43:42,600 --> 00:43:46,640
Speaker 1: protect this Cheney, Protect Adam Shift, Protect Swalwell. These are

801
00:43:46,719 --> 00:43:50,920
Speaker 1: people just for context, Eric Swalwell had an affair with

802
00:43:50,920 --> 00:43:55,000
Speaker 1: a Chinese spy. He's compromised, all right. Adam Shift has

803
00:43:55,040 --> 00:43:59,600
Speaker 1: been rubbing elbows with Ukrainian oligarchs who are arms dealers

804
00:43:59,719 --> 00:44:03,200
Speaker 1: for years. I mean these guys even you know, made

805
00:44:03,239 --> 00:44:06,960
Speaker 1: appearances at fundraisers and like events and whatnot. His also,

806
00:44:07,080 --> 00:44:10,120
Speaker 1: his friend Ed Buck used to drug young black and

807
00:44:10,160 --> 00:44:12,600
Speaker 1: brown men to rape them, and now he's in jail

808
00:44:12,640 --> 00:44:14,279
Speaker 1: for it. Like this is the kind of pieces of

809
00:44:14,320 --> 00:44:17,480
Speaker 1: crap who Republicans were just going to allow to be

810
00:44:17,600 --> 00:44:19,879
Speaker 1: protected by some provision that they were going to get

811
00:44:19,880 --> 00:44:21,880
Speaker 1: in there so that they could slip out and do

812
00:44:21,920 --> 00:44:23,440
Speaker 1: whatever they wanted later on, you know.

813
00:44:23,520 --> 00:44:27,000
Speaker 2: I mean, Sean, not only not only not only are

814
00:44:27,000 --> 00:44:30,680
Speaker 2: they protecting these people, but the House Ethics Committee again

815
00:44:30,760 --> 00:44:34,480
Speaker 2: Republicans in the majority vote to release Two Republicans on

816
00:44:34,520 --> 00:44:37,440
Speaker 2: the committee vote to release Matt Gates's ethics reports. And

817
00:44:37,520 --> 00:44:41,080
Speaker 2: by the way that by the way, the Biden Department

818
00:44:41,320 --> 00:44:45,400
Speaker 2: of Justice said there was nothing there and refused to prosecute.

819
00:44:45,440 --> 00:44:50,080
Speaker 2: Believe me, Biden's out there prosecuting everybody. Garland's out there

820
00:44:50,120 --> 00:44:54,480
Speaker 2: throwing January sixth. Grandma's in prison for walking through the Capitol.

821
00:44:54,640 --> 00:44:57,840
Speaker 2: If there was anything that Matt Gates did wrong at all,

822
00:44:58,320 --> 00:45:00,759
Speaker 2: the guy would be in prison, no doubt about it.

823
00:45:00,800 --> 00:45:04,359
Speaker 2: But when they're declining to prosecute, you know there's nothing there.

824
00:45:04,760 --> 00:45:07,560
Speaker 2: Look you see bat Gates is out of Congress now,

825
00:45:07,800 --> 00:45:10,080
Speaker 2: and they're still gonna release this just to try to

826
00:45:10,120 --> 00:45:11,040
Speaker 2: kill his legacy.

827
00:45:11,360 --> 00:45:14,879
Speaker 1: That's why I don't believe these stupid little lines you hear.

828
00:45:15,080 --> 00:45:18,000
Speaker 1: It's the same story over and over again. Believe me, folks,

829
00:45:18,000 --> 00:45:20,719
Speaker 1: if they wanted to play hard ball, they would. The

830
00:45:20,760 --> 00:45:22,920
Speaker 1: fact of the matter is many of these Republicans are

831
00:45:22,920 --> 00:45:25,400
Speaker 1: in the same boat with these Democrats, and they're covering

832
00:45:25,440 --> 00:45:27,960
Speaker 1: their own asses as well as covering the asses of

833
00:45:28,000 --> 00:45:31,799
Speaker 1: their colleagues. And they're not like what they pretend to

834
00:45:31,840 --> 00:45:34,920
Speaker 1: be every election cycle. It really is that simple. So

835
00:45:34,960 --> 00:45:39,360
Speaker 1: like when Elon Musk now elevates his role again to

836
00:45:39,440 --> 00:45:41,680
Speaker 1: somebody who's got the money to say, look, you will

837
00:45:41,719 --> 00:45:44,279
Speaker 1: not survive a primary if you don't get in line.

838
00:45:44,320 --> 00:45:46,600
Speaker 1: Like what he's saying to them is, look, we know

839
00:45:47,360 --> 00:45:50,279
Speaker 1: your dirt bags and you're corrupt. We're gonna give you

840
00:45:50,320 --> 00:45:52,480
Speaker 1: a chance to clean the slate, but if you don't,

841
00:45:53,360 --> 00:45:54,360
Speaker 1: you're gonna get rolled.

842
00:45:54,800 --> 00:45:58,640
Speaker 2: Like it's so important, or it's so it's not even important.

843
00:45:58,920 --> 00:46:02,200
Speaker 1: It was necessary to have somebody like Elon must do

844
00:46:02,239 --> 00:46:05,360
Speaker 1: this because I cannot tell you. What he's basically giving you, folks,

845
00:46:05,440 --> 00:46:08,040
Speaker 1: is the power to enact your will on these people.

846
00:46:08,120 --> 00:46:11,799
Speaker 1: They never feared the consequences of you primarying them in

847
00:46:11,840 --> 00:46:15,120
Speaker 1: the past. Look like David Gillio, for instance, Duarte was

848
00:46:15,160 --> 00:46:18,520
Speaker 1: a dirtbag from the jump. The FBI had something over

849
00:46:18,840 --> 00:46:22,799
Speaker 1: holding it over his head since he decided to run

850
00:46:22,840 --> 00:46:25,600
Speaker 1: for Congress that first time. It doesn't matter that the

851
00:46:25,640 --> 00:46:29,080
Speaker 1: party base actually doesn't want it. If you can't run money,

852
00:46:29,320 --> 00:46:31,840
Speaker 1: if you can't raise money, you can't beat these guys

853
00:46:31,920 --> 00:46:35,640
Speaker 1: in these primaries. So somebody like Elon must being around saying, look,

854
00:46:35,920 --> 00:46:38,040
Speaker 1: you know this guy doesn't get in line, he's out

855
00:46:38,120 --> 00:46:42,240
Speaker 1: of here. It's a huge deal. Unfortunately, you know they'll

856
00:46:42,239 --> 00:46:45,279
Speaker 1: have to take that seat back now from a pretty

857
00:46:45,320 --> 00:46:50,279
Speaker 1: formidable Democrat because they were stupidly nominated that guy to

858
00:46:50,280 --> 00:46:52,359
Speaker 1: begin with. But it's a perfect example of what I'm

859
00:46:52,400 --> 00:46:54,719
Speaker 1: talking about. He was never going to vote to hold

860
00:46:54,719 --> 00:46:57,680
Speaker 1: Merrick Garland and contempt. You can't win. The FBI has

861
00:46:57,680 --> 00:47:00,400
Speaker 1: something over on you like that, guys, So don't believe

862
00:47:00,480 --> 00:47:03,040
Speaker 1: these dumb little excuses about, oh, we don't have the

863
00:47:03,040 --> 00:47:05,680
Speaker 1: big we don't have a big enough majority. It's more

864
00:47:05,719 --> 00:47:08,600
Speaker 1: than that. Some of them are compromised. Some of them

865
00:47:08,640 --> 00:47:10,960
Speaker 1: are full of crap, all right. I mean, it's just

866
00:47:11,040 --> 00:47:13,719
Speaker 1: that simple. And some of them are just cowards and

867
00:47:13,760 --> 00:47:16,080
Speaker 1: they're weak, and they're afraid of the media. And this

868
00:47:16,160 --> 00:47:18,920
Speaker 1: has got to change. And I'm sorry, like I you know,

869
00:47:19,080 --> 00:47:23,240
Speaker 1: this idea, Like now, all that matters is the letter

870
00:47:23,400 --> 00:47:25,960
Speaker 1: after the name. Republicans have to get rid of that

871
00:47:26,040 --> 00:47:28,880
Speaker 1: idea because you have an opportunity now to kind of

872
00:47:28,920 --> 00:47:31,759
Speaker 1: like get people in there who will actually actually you're

873
00:47:31,800 --> 00:47:33,960
Speaker 1: on board with your you know, like you were just

874
00:47:34,000 --> 00:47:36,000
Speaker 1: talking about a couple of people you spoke with earlier,

875
00:47:36,360 --> 00:47:38,520
Speaker 1: you know, and I know they are a gross minority

876
00:47:38,520 --> 00:47:39,000
Speaker 1: in that House.

877
00:47:39,200 --> 00:47:40,399
Speaker 2: That's so true, they are.

878
00:47:40,719 --> 00:47:44,360
Speaker 1: And how could that be when Democrats have every vote

879
00:47:44,360 --> 00:47:48,360
Speaker 1: that they possibly need require, you know, we're asked for

880
00:47:48,480 --> 00:47:52,319
Speaker 1: exactly the time something comes up every time. And by

881
00:47:52,360 --> 00:47:54,880
Speaker 1: the way, they're not the ones betraying their core values

882
00:47:54,920 --> 00:47:57,360
Speaker 1: every time we have these little problems or these little

883
00:47:57,440 --> 00:47:59,920
Speaker 1: you know, these little fights in Congress, it's a Republican

884
00:48:00,040 --> 00:48:03,239
Speaker 1: who were always betraying their core values and betraying their

885
00:48:03,320 --> 00:48:05,680
Speaker 1: voters when they say, we don't have the numbers. We

886
00:48:05,840 --> 00:48:06,240
Speaker 1: just can't.

887
00:48:06,520 --> 00:48:08,640
Speaker 2: We're gonna have to do this right now and fight

888
00:48:08,680 --> 00:48:09,680
Speaker 2: them at the next line.

889
00:48:09,719 --> 00:48:14,280
Speaker 1: Guys. This is like a war. Guys. If you continuously

890
00:48:14,320 --> 00:48:17,440
Speaker 1: give up territory, eventually you have nowhere left to retreat to.

891
00:48:17,920 --> 00:48:20,799
Speaker 1: And that's where Republicans have been retreating for so long.

892
00:48:20,840 --> 00:48:22,600
Speaker 1: They don't even know what it means to fight anymore.

893
00:48:22,760 --> 00:48:26,560
Speaker 1: By the way, Molly Hemingway wrote an amazing column about

894
00:48:26,560 --> 00:48:29,439
Speaker 1: this very thing, that Republicans don't know how to fight

895
00:48:29,480 --> 00:48:32,200
Speaker 1: and win. Trump is trying to teach them how to

896
00:48:32,200 --> 00:48:32,839
Speaker 1: fight and win.

897
00:48:33,160 --> 00:48:35,480
Speaker 2: But the fact of the matter is is more, it's more.

898
00:48:36,560 --> 00:48:40,360
Speaker 1: There's more going on than just you know, they're cowardly

899
00:48:40,400 --> 00:48:42,560
Speaker 1: and they're afraid of the media. We don't have the numbers,

900
00:48:42,760 --> 00:48:45,560
Speaker 1: they'll eviscerate us. In the columns of The New York Times,

901
00:48:45,760 --> 00:48:49,520
Speaker 1: nobody cares about The New York Times anymore. It's more

902
00:48:49,560 --> 00:48:52,919
Speaker 1: than that. Molly's right. I mean it's it's unfortunately, it's

903
00:48:52,960 --> 00:48:54,799
Speaker 1: more sinister, and it's it's more than that.

904
00:48:54,880 --> 00:48:56,600
Speaker 2: And they have to be they.

905
00:48:56,480 --> 00:48:58,640
Speaker 1: Have to be put in line or they've got to

906
00:48:58,640 --> 00:48:59,160
Speaker 1: get rolled.

907
00:48:59,840 --> 00:49:03,839
Speaker 2: I couldn't agree more rich. All right, Christmas poll time?

908
00:49:04,560 --> 00:49:05,680
Speaker 1: Tell us?

909
00:49:06,000 --> 00:49:09,040
Speaker 2: What tell us about the poll? What's a measure? Tell

910
00:49:09,120 --> 00:49:11,320
Speaker 2: us about the high points? Go ahead, get on into you.

911
00:49:11,320 --> 00:49:12,360
Speaker 2: I'm going to add it to the screen.

912
00:49:12,520 --> 00:49:14,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, throw it on the screen. I'll probably have to

913
00:49:14,239 --> 00:49:16,560
Speaker 1: zoom in a little bit. But this I actually got

914
00:49:16,600 --> 00:49:18,080
Speaker 1: to come up. We got to come up with a bit.

915
00:49:18,280 --> 00:49:21,000
Speaker 1: You know. It's just that there's so much information on it.

916
00:49:21,040 --> 00:49:24,200
Speaker 1: Like I could create cute little things and like everybody else,

917
00:49:24,239 --> 00:49:27,040
Speaker 1: but I just like data. So it's like, oh, these

918
00:49:27,080 --> 00:49:28,800
Speaker 1: stupid little charts.

919
00:49:28,360 --> 00:49:30,400
Speaker 2: Like I'm in Nate Silver, I got a cool little graph.

920
00:49:30,840 --> 00:49:31,880
Speaker 2: I'm a cool little graph, like.

921
00:49:31,920 --> 00:49:33,880
Speaker 1: I don't care about any of that. It's the data

922
00:49:33,920 --> 00:49:38,279
Speaker 1: that matters. So much information in this crosstab it's hard

923
00:49:38,360 --> 00:49:40,839
Speaker 1: to display it to just bear with us. But yeah,

924
00:49:40,880 --> 00:49:44,799
Speaker 1: basically I'm keeping this separate from some of the other

925
00:49:44,840 --> 00:49:46,919
Speaker 1: stuff we did and when we do the Christmas poll,

926
00:49:47,239 --> 00:49:49,600
Speaker 1: if we do include any other questions, we always front

927
00:49:49,600 --> 00:49:53,279
Speaker 1: load the Christmas poll, all right, So nothing political gets

928
00:49:53,280 --> 00:49:56,919
Speaker 1: injected into the interview until after the Christmas poll is done,

929
00:49:56,960 --> 00:49:59,640
Speaker 1: all right. That's important for me to explain to people.

930
00:49:59,719 --> 00:50:02,000
Speaker 1: We go through voter screens and do what we normally do,

931
00:50:02,080 --> 00:50:05,400
Speaker 1: but we don't actually ask any political questions at all

932
00:50:05,600 --> 00:50:08,040
Speaker 1: until all of the questions with the Christmas related section

933
00:50:08,200 --> 00:50:11,239
Speaker 1: is over in the holiday related section. So I have

934
00:50:11,320 --> 00:50:13,680
Speaker 1: some things though that I did answer this crosstab, and

935
00:50:13,680 --> 00:50:15,840
Speaker 1: I'm going to take it off when I'm done, but

936
00:50:15,920 --> 00:50:18,600
Speaker 1: I think it's huge. Sean, wait, and I'll just tell

937
00:50:18,640 --> 00:50:22,359
Speaker 1: you right now after what's here, After we get through

938
00:50:22,360 --> 00:50:26,960
Speaker 1: the Christmas poll, Trump's favorability, his approval on the transition,

939
00:50:27,719 --> 00:50:30,719
Speaker 1: and how satisfied or dissatisfied the public is with the

940
00:50:30,719 --> 00:50:34,680
Speaker 1: outcome of the presidential election. It's so big, These results

941
00:50:34,719 --> 00:50:36,360
Speaker 1: are so big. I put it at the end of

942
00:50:36,360 --> 00:50:38,239
Speaker 1: this cross stab for the show right now with you

943
00:50:38,600 --> 00:50:42,359
Speaker 1: because I wanted to show you this. It's very significant,

944
00:50:42,400 --> 00:50:45,240
Speaker 1: all right, But before we get there, what the Christmas

945
00:50:45,280 --> 00:50:48,279
Speaker 1: Poll is is a tracker every year to gauge how

946
00:50:48,280 --> 00:50:51,200
Speaker 1: many or what percentage of the public celebrates Christmas and

947
00:50:51,239 --> 00:50:54,480
Speaker 1: then try to understand why it is. We're always talking

948
00:50:54,560 --> 00:50:58,160
Speaker 1: about the rise of what we call nuns no religious affiliation,

949
00:50:58,760 --> 00:51:03,359
Speaker 1: yet so many people continuously celebrate Christmas, and we also

950
00:51:03,480 --> 00:51:07,200
Speaker 1: track how many of them are doing it in an

951
00:51:07,280 --> 00:51:10,040
Speaker 1: overtly religious fashion, Like they're not just doing it because

952
00:51:10,080 --> 00:51:13,479
Speaker 1: it's Santa Claus and commercial, They're doing it because they

953
00:51:13,600 --> 00:51:16,840
Speaker 1: reflect that this is a time when they can celebrate

954
00:51:16,880 --> 00:51:19,120
Speaker 1: the birth of the Son of God. All Right, so

955
00:51:19,400 --> 00:51:22,239
Speaker 1: it gets into how could you tell me you're not

956
00:51:22,280 --> 00:51:23,960
Speaker 1: a How can you when I ask you if you're

957
00:51:23,960 --> 00:51:26,800
Speaker 1: a Christian you're telling me no, Yet you celebrate Christmas

958
00:51:26,800 --> 00:51:29,839
Speaker 1: and you recognize that Jesus is the Son of God. Right,

959
00:51:29,880 --> 00:51:32,719
Speaker 1: we have Jews and Muslims who celebrate Christmas. How could

960
00:51:32,719 --> 00:51:35,680
Speaker 1: this be at so much, very high rates, which I'm

961
00:51:35,680 --> 00:51:37,839
Speaker 1: going to show people in a second. So it's trying

962
00:51:37,840 --> 00:51:41,040
Speaker 1: to understand all of that, and it's a deeper understanding

963
00:51:41,040 --> 00:51:45,440
Speaker 1: of religiosity in America beyond what we hear normally from

964
00:51:45,920 --> 00:51:48,160
Speaker 1: you know, other posters, like you know, how many are

965
00:51:48,200 --> 00:51:50,240
Speaker 1: Protestant this year? How many are Catholic?

966
00:51:50,320 --> 00:51:53,319
Speaker 2: Right? So immediately two things jump out of me.

967
00:51:54,200 --> 00:51:58,560
Speaker 1: One is some stuff was kind of like, you know, stagnant.

968
00:51:58,560 --> 00:52:01,759
Speaker 1: Almost nothing went down except for one measurement, which is

969
00:52:02,000 --> 00:52:05,239
Speaker 1: the percentage of people who are actually going to go

970
00:52:05,320 --> 00:52:09,239
Speaker 1: to a religious service at a church. Yet the percentage

971
00:52:09,239 --> 00:52:12,160
Speaker 1: of people who are doing things and celebrating Christmas and

972
00:52:12,200 --> 00:52:14,279
Speaker 1: reflecting on it as a time that you know, it's

973
00:52:14,719 --> 00:52:18,520
Speaker 1: the birth of Christ went up. Okay, So this tells

974
00:52:18,560 --> 00:52:21,560
Speaker 1: me one thing. You know we always talk about in

975
00:52:21,640 --> 00:52:24,799
Speaker 1: politics how anti establishment the voters are out there. Well,

976
00:52:24,800 --> 00:52:28,360
Speaker 1: that includes the church and different churches. It does. Trust

977
00:52:28,400 --> 00:52:31,719
Speaker 1: in church institutions is not good. And you know they

978
00:52:31,760 --> 00:52:34,239
Speaker 1: have kind of like led their flood to the point

979
00:52:34,280 --> 00:52:36,840
Speaker 1: where the flock doesn't care anymore and they're gone. And

980
00:52:36,920 --> 00:52:39,359
Speaker 1: there's another thing that Hope is.

981
00:52:39,320 --> 00:52:42,279
Speaker 2: A freaking commy. So I'm gonna get I'm gonna I'm

982
00:52:42,280 --> 00:52:46,040
Speaker 2: a Catholic, so I'm gonna get excommunicated here. H my god,

983
00:52:46,120 --> 00:52:49,800
Speaker 2: He's like, he's such a real he's an open borders commy.

984
00:52:49,880 --> 00:52:52,480
Speaker 2: If you if you support open borders, hey, tear down

985
00:52:52,560 --> 00:52:54,839
Speaker 2: the walls of the Vatican. Let all these invaders in there.

986
00:52:54,880 --> 00:52:56,520
Speaker 2: See how much you like it? You know a lot?

987
00:52:56,760 --> 00:52:58,799
Speaker 1: Take them and the funny thing is too, if we

988
00:52:58,880 --> 00:53:01,279
Speaker 1: go right away to the first question of do you

989
00:53:01,320 --> 00:53:04,520
Speaker 1: celebrate Christmas when you look at religion, When you look

990
00:53:04,520 --> 00:53:07,000
Speaker 1: at it by religion, you can see that actually Catholics

991
00:53:07,040 --> 00:53:10,160
Speaker 1: are slightly higher than most others to celebrate. Yet many

992
00:53:10,200 --> 00:53:12,400
Speaker 1: of them cannot stand the pope, all right, that is

993
00:53:12,560 --> 00:53:17,200
Speaker 1: absolutely true. And then number two, they won't attend religious services,

994
00:53:17,400 --> 00:53:19,439
Speaker 1: and I think some of the Catholic stuff went off

995
00:53:19,440 --> 00:53:22,640
Speaker 1: the rails. And then there's many too that still have

996
00:53:22,760 --> 00:53:27,040
Speaker 1: not forgiven their church for basically covering up child.

997
00:53:26,960 --> 00:53:28,759
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah, absolutely yeah.

998
00:53:28,800 --> 00:53:31,320
Speaker 1: And then you have the evangelical side of this, where

999
00:53:31,520 --> 00:53:33,799
Speaker 1: there are what Barnes and I have long referred to

1000
00:53:33,840 --> 00:53:35,560
Speaker 1: as cultural evangelicals.

1001
00:53:35,880 --> 00:53:38,320
Speaker 2: They actually don't care about the Jimmy Swaggerts.

1002
00:53:38,520 --> 00:53:41,920
Speaker 1: They don't care about what's his name in Iowa who

1003
00:53:42,000 --> 00:53:45,200
Speaker 1: constantly puts his nose into the Iowa Caucus every damn year.

1004
00:53:46,120 --> 00:53:51,160
Speaker 1: Vander Splatz, right, Bob Vandersplatz, Like they cannot stand religious

1005
00:53:51,200 --> 00:53:54,080
Speaker 1: leaders like this anymore. They view them as hypocrites, but

1006
00:53:54,160 --> 00:53:57,279
Speaker 1: they themselves feel that they are still evangelicals, and they

1007
00:53:57,280 --> 00:54:00,880
Speaker 1: are culturally evangelical. And by the way, that's why Trump

1008
00:54:01,080 --> 00:54:04,520
Speaker 1: was considered to be perfect as far as I'm where

1009
00:54:04,520 --> 00:54:07,120
Speaker 1: he was on the ideological spectrum, not just for the

1010
00:54:07,120 --> 00:54:12,760
Speaker 1: Republican caucus but for the actual election, because these evangelicals

1011
00:54:13,040 --> 00:54:16,320
Speaker 1: kind of take Trump's perspective when it comes to abortion

1012
00:54:16,680 --> 00:54:19,480
Speaker 1: and other things like that. All right, but believe me

1013
00:54:20,080 --> 00:54:23,560
Speaker 1: interesting And here's also what's interesting about all of this.

1014
00:54:25,280 --> 00:54:26,719
Speaker 1: I have told you in the past that, like, I

1015
00:54:26,719 --> 00:54:32,040
Speaker 1: feel like this cultural left wing push missed a certain generation.

1016
00:54:32,440 --> 00:54:35,560
Speaker 1: They pissed off one, which is like millennials our age. Right,

1017
00:54:35,920 --> 00:54:39,200
Speaker 1: we were told about WMD's the Great Resision happened, like

1018
00:54:39,200 --> 00:54:40,480
Speaker 1: we were just told, somebody lies.

1019
00:54:40,719 --> 00:54:44,400
Speaker 2: I consider myself gen X even though technically I'm a

1020
00:54:44,480 --> 00:54:45,280
Speaker 2: millennium genet.

1021
00:54:45,440 --> 00:54:48,200
Speaker 1: I am a gen Yeah, I guess millennial to the

1022
00:54:48,280 --> 00:54:51,120
Speaker 1: gen X, like I'm forty three right on that line,

1023
00:54:51,280 --> 00:54:51,560
Speaker 1: you know.

1024
00:54:52,239 --> 00:54:54,399
Speaker 2: I consider myself gen X. I can't I can't come

1025
00:54:54,440 --> 00:54:55,719
Speaker 2: to admit that I'm a millennial.

1026
00:54:56,000 --> 00:54:57,920
Speaker 1: I don't think I am a millennial. I think I'm

1027
00:54:57,960 --> 00:55:00,560
Speaker 1: one year in the gen X still, but like still

1028
00:55:00,640 --> 00:55:03,400
Speaker 1: around that time, you know, because you had much of

1029
00:55:03,760 --> 00:55:06,680
Speaker 1: a similar experience like I did, right, I mean, yeah, yeah,

1030
00:55:06,719 --> 00:55:10,000
Speaker 1: yeah age yeah, I mean, and then you know there

1031
00:55:10,040 --> 00:55:12,560
Speaker 1: were all these lives. Government told them. They actually thought

1032
00:55:12,600 --> 00:55:15,879
Speaker 1: Obama may be cool. He turned out being awful, right,

1033
00:55:16,200 --> 00:55:20,120
Speaker 1: and then the economy just just completely shredded their opportunity.

1034
00:55:20,360 --> 00:55:24,919
Speaker 1: So they're deeply, deeply disgruntled, let's put it that way,

1035
00:55:25,080 --> 00:55:30,000
Speaker 1: all right. And they did grow up with being impacted

1036
00:55:30,040 --> 00:55:33,879
Speaker 1: by what is like media and entertainment industry, left wing

1037
00:55:33,920 --> 00:55:38,239
Speaker 1: propaganda constantly on social issues, all right. So it's interesting

1038
00:55:38,280 --> 00:55:42,360
Speaker 1: that they are so active now in really not religiosity.

1039
00:55:42,719 --> 00:55:46,080
Speaker 1: But they and this other group that's twenty five to

1040
00:55:46,120 --> 00:55:49,040
Speaker 1: twenty nine, you know, in this the eighteen to twenty

1041
00:55:49,080 --> 00:55:51,160
Speaker 1: four is a little different. But watch this. Are you ready?

1042
00:55:51,440 --> 00:55:51,720
Speaker 2: Yep?

1043
00:55:51,920 --> 00:55:54,239
Speaker 1: If we keep age detail up. And by the way,

1044
00:55:54,400 --> 00:55:57,120
Speaker 1: just so everyone knows the number here, the numbers celebrate

1045
00:55:57,200 --> 00:56:00,680
Speaker 1: Christmas actually ticked up a point this year, ninety two,

1046
00:56:00,920 --> 00:56:04,239
Speaker 1: which I already thought was incredibly high. I'll give them

1047
00:56:04,280 --> 00:56:04,720
Speaker 1: the one.

1048
00:56:04,640 --> 00:56:06,280
Speaker 2: Ups before we get in any details.

1049
00:56:06,400 --> 00:56:08,840
Speaker 1: Do you put up a Christmas tree? Eighty seven percent?

1050
00:56:09,160 --> 00:56:12,080
Speaker 2: Dang, eighty seven percent of people put up the tree. Huh.

1051
00:56:12,280 --> 00:56:15,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, they put up decorations other than a Christmas tree

1052
00:56:15,600 --> 00:56:16,560
Speaker 1: eighty eight percent.

1053
00:56:16,960 --> 00:56:20,960
Speaker 2: Despite you're talking like like stockings things like that.

1054
00:56:21,200 --> 00:56:23,880
Speaker 1: Oh, yeah, anything other than a Christmas tree. Now, what

1055
00:56:23,960 --> 00:56:26,880
Speaker 1: about decorations that have a religious meaning, such as a

1056
00:56:27,000 --> 00:56:31,000
Speaker 1: nativity fifty six percent, which is actually up a little bit,

1057
00:56:31,280 --> 00:56:33,759
Speaker 1: and thirty nine point six percent said that they do

1058
00:56:33,920 --> 00:56:36,960
Speaker 1: not all right, get together with family and friends on

1059
00:56:37,040 --> 00:56:40,360
Speaker 1: Christmas Eve for Christmas Day eighty nine point six percent.

1060
00:56:40,440 --> 00:56:44,680
Speaker 1: So basically everyone who celebrates Christmas A ten religious services

1061
00:56:44,840 --> 00:56:47,680
Speaker 1: is negative three this year when it was positive.

1062
00:56:47,239 --> 00:56:48,279
Speaker 2: To last year.

1063
00:56:48,400 --> 00:56:52,920
Speaker 1: Wow, even that's crazy, even though Sean like, look at

1064
00:56:52,920 --> 00:56:56,200
Speaker 1: the twenty five to twenty nine, it is way above

1065
00:56:56,239 --> 00:56:59,680
Speaker 1: the national average. Fifty five percent will do that. Now

1066
00:56:59,680 --> 00:57:01,960
Speaker 1: if we go to by the way, hold on, let's

1067
00:57:01,960 --> 00:57:04,680
Speaker 1: go back a second, do you just will you display

1068
00:57:04,719 --> 00:57:08,800
Speaker 1: something with the religious meaning Nativity scene? Look at younger

1069
00:57:08,840 --> 00:57:12,520
Speaker 1: people way above the national average. You have kind of

1070
00:57:12,600 --> 00:57:14,719
Speaker 1: our age group which is above it, and then you

1071
00:57:14,760 --> 00:57:17,280
Speaker 1: have twenty five to twenty nine and below Really the

1072
00:57:17,320 --> 00:57:20,600
Speaker 1: twenty five to twenty nine sixty.

1073
00:57:21,680 --> 00:57:24,640
Speaker 2: Twenty five to twenty nine putting up Nativity scene.

1074
00:57:24,640 --> 00:57:27,200
Speaker 1: One percent, And I'm thinking myself, you know what, or

1075
00:57:27,200 --> 00:57:29,640
Speaker 1: it could be anything not just in their lawn, but

1076
00:57:29,760 --> 00:57:32,000
Speaker 1: could be like on their desk they have a Nativity scene,

1077
00:57:32,080 --> 00:57:32,840
Speaker 1: or they have something.

1078
00:57:32,920 --> 00:57:35,959
Speaker 2: Oh, that's that that gives me faith.

1079
00:57:36,000 --> 00:57:38,640
Speaker 1: It should and get this I'm thinking, Okay, maybe it's

1080
00:57:38,680 --> 00:57:42,080
Speaker 1: a one off. It's not. You'll see it consistently throughout

1081
00:57:42,160 --> 00:57:45,960
Speaker 1: all of these different questions get together with family and friends.

1082
00:57:46,720 --> 00:57:48,760
Speaker 1: On the show today, I kind of cited like this

1083
00:57:48,880 --> 00:57:51,640
Speaker 1: secular older Remember we were talking about how all the

1084
00:57:51,680 --> 00:57:54,280
Speaker 1: seniors may be getting more democratic and some of it

1085
00:57:54,480 --> 00:57:57,360
Speaker 1: they were right. I mean we have Mondale voters now

1086
00:57:57,520 --> 00:58:00,640
Speaker 1: as seniors, you know kind of thing. Yeah, yeah, they're older,

1087
00:58:01,000 --> 00:58:05,440
Speaker 1: they're they're credentialed, right, they tend to be wealthy and educated.

1088
00:58:05,920 --> 00:58:07,480
Speaker 1: I just I was like, oh my god. On the

1089
00:58:07,520 --> 00:58:10,160
Speaker 1: show today, it's almost I'm like, it's like a liberal scrooge,

1090
00:58:10,920 --> 00:58:13,440
Speaker 1: like that is who it is. That is the voter

1091
00:58:13,640 --> 00:58:16,720
Speaker 1: that was leaning to Biden when you know some of

1092
00:58:16,720 --> 00:58:18,000
Speaker 1: them went to Harris.

1093
00:58:17,800 --> 00:58:20,320
Speaker 2: Don't like Trump, and you'll see it in Trump's numbers.

1094
00:58:20,360 --> 00:58:22,720
Speaker 1: By the way, they're there clear as debt and they're

1095
00:58:22,880 --> 00:58:26,400
Speaker 1: educated beyond what that age group has been in the past.

1096
00:58:26,760 --> 00:58:29,520
Speaker 1: So like time moves on and these the character of

1097
00:58:29,560 --> 00:58:33,360
Speaker 1: these age groups change, they don't stay the same. Right,

1098
00:58:34,160 --> 00:58:36,680
Speaker 1: if we just go down and exchange gifts ninety two

1099
00:58:36,720 --> 00:58:40,600
Speaker 1: percent will exchange gifts. But again you'll constantly see these

1100
00:58:40,640 --> 00:58:43,400
Speaker 1: two age groups, which should give you hope. If you're

1101
00:58:43,400 --> 00:58:47,200
Speaker 1: a Christian, if someone who you know cares about the

1102
00:58:47,200 --> 00:58:49,640
Speaker 1: future of your values or the values that you're going

1103
00:58:49,680 --> 00:58:53,040
Speaker 1: to celebrate during the holidays, then you absolutely should be

1104
00:58:53,720 --> 00:58:56,919
Speaker 1: very hopeful with the with the results of this poll.

1105
00:58:57,120 --> 00:59:00,520
Speaker 1: Look at this reflect on or celebrate the of Christ.

1106
00:59:00,640 --> 00:59:03,120
Speaker 1: Now it's pretty much high everywhere. Do you or your

1107
00:59:03,120 --> 00:59:06,080
Speaker 1: family do the following to celebrate Christmas or not? And

1108
00:59:06,600 --> 00:59:09,800
Speaker 1: reflect on or celebrate the holiday as the birth of

1109
00:59:09,840 --> 00:59:12,920
Speaker 1: the Christ. Two thirds overall said yes.

1110
00:59:13,200 --> 00:59:15,560
Speaker 2: Six but like sixty six percent of people say they do.

1111
00:59:15,760 --> 00:59:16,560
Speaker 1: Yep, they do.

1112
00:59:16,720 --> 00:59:21,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, America in America, yep, this is the total population

1113
00:59:21,120 --> 00:59:21,640
Speaker 2: of America.

1114
00:59:22,960 --> 00:59:28,000
Speaker 1: This is voters is on voter sample, but voting eligible population.

1115
00:59:28,200 --> 00:59:30,960
Speaker 2: Yes, So so basically yeah, it was okay, all right, yeah.

1116
00:59:30,800 --> 00:59:34,800
Speaker 1: But yes, yeah, but look at the age difference. Though,

1117
00:59:34,880 --> 00:59:36,880
Speaker 1: you have our age group that's going to do it

1118
00:59:36,960 --> 00:59:40,200
Speaker 1: by like roughly the average the national life of sixty

1119
00:59:40,200 --> 00:59:43,480
Speaker 1: six percent. Some of them will be a little bit

1120
00:59:43,480 --> 00:59:46,960
Speaker 1: lower than that, but the younger there's something like, I

1121
00:59:46,960 --> 00:59:48,920
Speaker 1: don't know, the cultural left.

1122
00:59:48,760 --> 00:59:50,920
Speaker 2: Wing movement missed these voters.

1123
00:59:51,000 --> 00:59:53,000
Speaker 1: I don't know if they were paying attention to TikTok

1124
00:59:53,240 --> 00:59:56,560
Speaker 1: and didn't really care what like Rachel Maddow had to say.

1125
00:59:57,120 --> 00:59:58,200
Speaker 2: Somehow they missed them.

1126
00:59:58,440 --> 01:00:01,440
Speaker 1: Maybe they weren't watching all of the media and entertainment

1127
01:00:01,480 --> 01:00:04,640
Speaker 1: stuff like you know voters in our like when we

1128
01:00:04,640 --> 01:00:06,800
Speaker 1: were their age, you know, we cared about what these

1129
01:00:06,840 --> 01:00:07,560
Speaker 1: people thought.

1130
01:00:07,840 --> 01:00:09,920
Speaker 2: You know, the celebrities for instance.

1131
01:00:10,040 --> 01:00:13,280
Speaker 1: Right, these people aren't listening to them obviously, They're like

1132
01:00:13,320 --> 01:00:17,120
Speaker 1: looking at other people like Joe Rogan or podcasts or whatever.

1133
01:00:17,360 --> 01:00:19,400
Speaker 2: And they then the left missed.

1134
01:00:19,080 --> 01:00:22,080
Speaker 1: These people because I could see it in their vote preference, Sean.

1135
01:00:22,240 --> 01:00:24,560
Speaker 1: And then it happened, right, it wasn't just a poll.

1136
01:00:24,680 --> 01:00:28,280
Speaker 1: It happened now I see it in like their positions

1137
01:00:28,320 --> 01:00:32,560
Speaker 1: on issues and even things like holidays and religiosity of

1138
01:00:32,800 --> 01:00:35,920
Speaker 1: spirituality is a better way to put that, because religiosity,

1139
01:00:35,960 --> 01:00:39,840
Speaker 1: they're not that religious. They just consider themselves to be spiritual.

1140
01:00:40,120 --> 01:00:43,240
Speaker 1: Older people are much more likely to say, no, I'm

1141
01:00:43,320 --> 01:00:46,360
Speaker 1: Catholic or I'm Protestant or whatever. They'll say I'm another

1142
01:00:46,400 --> 01:00:48,880
Speaker 1: religion or I don't know, you know, that is what

1143
01:00:48,920 --> 01:00:51,920
Speaker 1: they say a lot of them. Anyway, you can see it.

1144
01:00:51,920 --> 01:00:54,320
Speaker 1: Twenty five to twenty nine, so that's seventy one percent

1145
01:00:54,360 --> 01:00:57,640
Speaker 1: with this question. So they are like, there's like a

1146
01:00:57,680 --> 01:01:01,200
Speaker 1: maybe a mini revival possible, but it's not going to

1147
01:01:01,200 --> 01:01:05,720
Speaker 1: be institutional. It'll it'll be cultural, but not institutional, because

1148
01:01:05,720 --> 01:01:08,360
Speaker 1: they don't like institutions at all. They don't like the

1149
01:01:08,400 --> 01:01:12,280
Speaker 1: Catholic Church. They don't like the local come down and

1150
01:01:12,320 --> 01:01:14,640
Speaker 1: be saved, you know, megachurch up the road.

1151
01:01:14,680 --> 01:01:15,800
Speaker 2: They don't like that stuff.

1152
01:01:16,040 --> 01:01:19,640
Speaker 1: So it's really interesting that they would be saying that

1153
01:01:19,680 --> 01:01:22,800
Speaker 1: they still but they're still looking for some kind of meaning, right,

1154
01:01:22,840 --> 01:01:26,240
Speaker 1: they're still like contemplating the questions that you know, all

1155
01:01:26,280 --> 01:01:29,680
Speaker 1: of us contemplate, you know, and they have these values

1156
01:01:30,760 --> 01:01:34,560
Speaker 1: cool things. Attend Christmas parties. For instance, about two thirds

1157
01:01:34,560 --> 01:01:36,320
Speaker 1: of us sixty seven percent of us will go to

1158
01:01:36,600 --> 01:01:40,160
Speaker 1: a Christmas party. Only about forty one percent are going

1159
01:01:40,200 --> 01:01:42,440
Speaker 1: to go to a concert or play. That's down a

1160
01:01:42,480 --> 01:01:45,760
Speaker 1: little bit from forty roughly forty five percent in twenty

1161
01:01:45,840 --> 01:01:49,000
Speaker 1: twenty in twenty twenty three last year.

1162
01:01:49,320 --> 01:01:52,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, when we did this last year, Yep, it's down

1163
01:01:52,320 --> 01:01:52,800
Speaker 2: a little bit.

1164
01:01:52,840 --> 01:01:55,560
Speaker 1: Maybe inflation, John, they just don't have the extra disposable

1165
01:01:55,560 --> 01:01:58,160
Speaker 1: income to go see the nutcracker I don't.

1166
01:01:58,000 --> 01:02:01,200
Speaker 2: Know, you know, I think that's real. That's probably right, right.

1167
01:02:01,280 --> 01:02:03,320
Speaker 1: I mean, that's that's my end, that's my gut. That's

1168
01:02:03,360 --> 01:02:06,400
Speaker 1: what my gut's telling me. And then the last one,

1169
01:02:06,440 --> 01:02:09,360
Speaker 1: of course, well not the last one, but the last one.

1170
01:02:09,360 --> 01:02:14,080
Speaker 1: That's just a fun question. Realer artificial tree, real tree

1171
01:02:14,160 --> 01:02:17,200
Speaker 1: still losing, but it ticked up this year. It ticked up.

1172
01:02:17,760 --> 01:02:22,520
Speaker 1: It ticked up to thirty seven percent. Do you prefer people?

1173
01:02:23,000 --> 01:02:26,680
Speaker 1: It's done very badly in recent years, very badly.

1174
01:02:26,840 --> 01:02:28,040
Speaker 2: It's even been worse than this.

1175
01:02:28,520 --> 01:02:33,960
Speaker 1: Last year, realer artificial tree was at thirty five percent.

1176
01:02:34,200 --> 01:02:35,640
Speaker 1: So yeah, it ticked up.

1177
01:02:35,600 --> 01:02:37,160
Speaker 2: A little bit, a little bit.

1178
01:02:37,600 --> 01:02:39,600
Speaker 1: Maybe the real tree is making a comeback.

1179
01:02:39,840 --> 01:02:41,720
Speaker 2: We'll see people use real trees.

1180
01:02:41,880 --> 01:02:44,560
Speaker 1: They think they're pain it's just too much, it's too

1181
01:02:44,680 --> 01:02:48,200
Speaker 1: much of a hassle. Oh and many people actually were saying,

1182
01:02:48,240 --> 01:02:51,480
Speaker 1: I don't find real trees anymore. There was a shortage

1183
01:02:51,520 --> 01:02:54,640
Speaker 1: for not for a period of time. By the way, Biden,

1184
01:02:54,960 --> 01:02:58,480
Speaker 1: when he was vice president with Obama, they caused that problem.

1185
01:02:58,800 --> 01:03:01,200
Speaker 2: They wanted to give back.

1186
01:03:01,000 --> 01:03:04,400
Speaker 1: To strawberry farmers and other farmers that donate it to

1187
01:03:04,440 --> 01:03:09,160
Speaker 1: their campaign. So they basically made a pesticide that's very effective,

1188
01:03:10,120 --> 01:03:12,320
Speaker 1: very difficult to get if you weren't one of their

1189
01:03:12,320 --> 01:03:15,840
Speaker 1: donors or one of their donor industries. And it killed

1190
01:03:15,840 --> 01:03:19,680
Speaker 1: in North Carolina Christmas tree industry like for years. It

1191
01:03:19,760 --> 01:03:22,680
Speaker 1: did because they couldn't They couldn't keep the little guys alive.

1192
01:03:22,840 --> 01:03:25,440
Speaker 1: So I actually didn't know that. I learned that from

1193
01:03:25,760 --> 01:03:27,680
Speaker 1: talking to from interviewing a.

1194
01:03:27,680 --> 01:03:30,760
Speaker 2: Guy that's crazy.

1195
01:03:31,760 --> 01:03:33,800
Speaker 1: And then yeah, so I mean they're still losing, but

1196
01:03:34,280 --> 01:03:36,640
Speaker 1: losing a real tree is losing a little less worse.

1197
01:03:36,920 --> 01:03:41,640
Speaker 2: Did all the Garland question rich I?

1198
01:03:41,640 --> 01:03:45,720
Speaker 1: I didn't. I kept the colored screen question. The poll

1199
01:03:45,880 --> 01:03:48,680
Speaker 1: was huge. I really just couldn't add anything else into it.

1200
01:03:49,040 --> 01:03:51,960
Speaker 1: That's what it came down to. Only there's something I'm

1201
01:03:52,000 --> 01:03:54,080
Speaker 1: going to have to add next year because this is

1202
01:03:54,160 --> 01:03:57,040
Speaker 1: now several years in a row, where in the next

1203
01:03:57,080 --> 01:04:00,080
Speaker 1: question you'll see it. It happened to me again, so

1204
01:04:00,320 --> 01:04:03,640
Speaker 1: I'll get there. Give me a second. Just religion and Christmas,

1205
01:04:03,680 --> 01:04:06,720
Speaker 1: we ask thinking of the way that you personally celebrate Christmas.

1206
01:04:07,000 --> 01:04:11,440
Speaker 1: Is it strongly religious holiday, somewhat religious, or not too religious?

1207
01:04:11,640 --> 01:04:14,600
Speaker 1: So about two thirds are saying that it is religious,

1208
01:04:14,640 --> 01:04:17,800
Speaker 1: Only about thirty percent say it's not a religious. That

1209
01:04:17,880 --> 01:04:21,080
Speaker 1: it's not well, not too religious is how they put it, right.

1210
01:04:21,160 --> 01:04:24,400
Speaker 1: So yeah, I mean that's actually a very good sign.

1211
01:04:24,560 --> 01:04:26,640
Speaker 1: It's up, by the way from last year. This is

1212
01:04:26,720 --> 01:04:28,760
Speaker 1: up from last year as far as people who do

1213
01:04:28,840 --> 01:04:32,040
Speaker 1: consider it at least somewhat religious. And then if you

1214
01:04:32,080 --> 01:04:36,280
Speaker 1: look at the again younger age groups, you can see

1215
01:04:36,520 --> 01:04:40,320
Speaker 1: that it's more. It's closer to seventy percent, so that

1216
01:04:40,400 --> 01:04:41,960
Speaker 1: considerate least somewhat religious.

1217
01:04:42,000 --> 01:04:43,400
Speaker 2: So that's weird.

1218
01:04:43,560 --> 01:04:47,600
Speaker 1: These are people who don't attend like people before them

1219
01:04:47,600 --> 01:04:50,480
Speaker 1: that their age, you sue, attend church services. They're not

1220
01:04:50,680 --> 01:04:56,040
Speaker 1: huge fans of churches. Yet they are holly jolly, you know,

1221
01:04:56,160 --> 01:04:59,040
Speaker 1: they're feeling hollylly, which is good. I think that's good news.

1222
01:05:00,120 --> 01:05:04,440
Speaker 1: Now here we go next year, we're unfortunately for the

1223
01:05:04,480 --> 01:05:08,040
Speaker 1: preferred Christmas scheme gonna have to put in the people

1224
01:05:08,160 --> 01:05:13,920
Speaker 1: three percent who say something else because we're seeing repeated others.

1225
01:05:14,120 --> 01:05:17,160
Speaker 1: Like so if they say other, what what's the question

1226
01:05:17,440 --> 01:05:18,200
Speaker 1: the color scheme?

1227
01:05:18,360 --> 01:05:21,160
Speaker 2: So we tried to put it what's color color color

1228
01:05:21,200 --> 01:05:23,000
Speaker 2: that they use to celebrate Christmas?

1229
01:05:23,280 --> 01:05:24,439
Speaker 1: Like, what's the preferred color?

1230
01:05:24,840 --> 01:05:25,040
Speaker 2: Green?

1231
01:05:25,120 --> 01:05:27,280
Speaker 1: Of course it's got red green, you're red and green

1232
01:05:27,360 --> 01:05:30,080
Speaker 1: is winning every year going one.

1233
01:05:30,080 --> 01:05:34,600
Speaker 2: What's the percentage, So fifty people go red green.

1234
01:05:35,760 --> 01:05:38,280
Speaker 1: And then nineteen and a half percent, which is roughly

1235
01:05:38,320 --> 01:05:42,320
Speaker 1: what it was last year. Classic red and white. Okay,

1236
01:05:42,560 --> 01:05:45,520
Speaker 1: metallic silver and gold, you know seven yeah.

1237
01:05:46,200 --> 01:05:47,720
Speaker 2: Yukon Cornelius silvering.

1238
01:05:47,880 --> 01:05:49,480
Speaker 1: It's right, You gont Cornelius.

1239
01:05:49,760 --> 01:05:52,600
Speaker 2: He's the original open carry gangster.

1240
01:05:52,880 --> 01:05:59,000
Speaker 1: You man, You gont Cornelius. Haven't I ever told you bumbled?

1241
01:06:00,120 --> 01:06:03,400
Speaker 1: I love it, man, he's the best, so is pro Lives.

1242
01:06:03,480 --> 01:06:05,080
Speaker 2: He's sang that song of the best.

1243
01:06:06,160 --> 01:06:08,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, but that's actually down a little bit from both

1244
01:06:09,000 --> 01:06:12,200
Speaker 1: metallic silver and gold and Victorian blue and white or

1245
01:06:12,200 --> 01:06:14,720
Speaker 1: white and silver is what people do. That was both

1246
01:06:14,760 --> 01:06:17,040
Speaker 1: eight percent last year. It's down a seven point four

1247
01:06:17,080 --> 01:06:20,240
Speaker 1: and seven point three. Pink and champagne or rose gold

1248
01:06:20,560 --> 01:06:23,720
Speaker 1: is three point give me champagne. Yeah, it's crazy, man,

1249
01:06:23,760 --> 01:06:27,360
Speaker 1: I gotta tell you the Martha Stewart look. This is yeah,

1250
01:06:27,360 --> 01:06:31,320
Speaker 1: it's the Martha Stewart look or something. It's nuts. But

1251
01:06:31,680 --> 01:06:34,040
Speaker 1: other got about three percent, And when you dig into

1252
01:06:34,040 --> 01:06:42,200
Speaker 1: those others, there's repeated references to like a speaking of Cornelius,

1253
01:06:42,240 --> 01:06:47,200
Speaker 1: like a rustic Yukon or Nordic kind of thing, where

1254
01:06:47,280 --> 01:06:51,280
Speaker 1: it's like I don't even know what they call like

1255
01:06:51,360 --> 01:06:54,680
Speaker 1: furs and plaids and stuff like that. And it is

1256
01:06:54,720 --> 01:06:57,120
Speaker 1: a real thing. Because I looked it up after seeing

1257
01:06:57,240 --> 01:07:00,680
Speaker 1: a lot of mentions during pole results. I'm like, what

1258
01:07:00,720 --> 01:07:03,200
Speaker 1: the hell are these people talking about? And actually Laura

1259
01:07:03,320 --> 01:07:05,680
Speaker 1: likes it quite a bit, she does, and I just

1260
01:07:05,800 --> 01:07:07,560
Speaker 1: wasn't someone who knew what the hell it was.

1261
01:07:08,560 --> 01:07:09,840
Speaker 2: Know what the hell I mean, I can't even know

1262
01:07:10,360 --> 01:07:10,800
Speaker 2: what is it?

1263
01:07:11,120 --> 01:07:13,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, it actually if you look in the Balsam Hill catalog,

1264
01:07:13,320 --> 01:07:15,600
Speaker 1: I swear to god, it's one of their Oh let

1265
01:07:15,600 --> 01:07:18,400
Speaker 1: me just grab my balls. Well, of course I had

1266
01:07:18,400 --> 01:07:19,720
Speaker 1: to look it up. Brother, I'm like, what are these

1267
01:07:19,760 --> 01:07:21,880
Speaker 1: people talking? I don't even know what the hell that is.

1268
01:07:21,960 --> 01:07:23,520
Speaker 1: But it's a real thing and it gets a lot

1269
01:07:23,520 --> 01:07:25,320
Speaker 1: of mentions every year. So I'm gonna have to come.

1270
01:07:25,320 --> 01:07:26,959
Speaker 1: I'm gonna have to put it in there next year.

1271
01:07:28,040 --> 01:07:30,760
Speaker 1: And so that's you know, this is again I see

1272
01:07:30,760 --> 01:07:33,000
Speaker 1: this is good news. I also think that there's part

1273
01:07:33,000 --> 01:07:36,200
Speaker 1: of what's going on here is we also asked about

1274
01:07:36,640 --> 01:07:40,280
Speaker 1: economic confidence. We asked about a couple of questions. I'll

1275
01:07:40,280 --> 01:07:44,080
Speaker 1: share it now. How satisfied or dissatisfied they are. There's

1276
01:07:44,120 --> 01:07:46,800
Speaker 1: something else I'll show you, h'm when we publish it.

1277
01:07:46,960 --> 01:07:48,760
Speaker 2: Uh, well, i'll just give it to you, but i'll

1278
01:07:48,760 --> 01:07:49,360
Speaker 2: give it to you early.

1279
01:07:49,480 --> 01:07:52,000
Speaker 1: Just don't share it yet. But we ask people how

1280
01:07:52,080 --> 01:07:54,920
Speaker 1: much trust or confidence you have that Donald Trump.

1281
01:07:54,720 --> 01:07:56,360
Speaker 2: Will be able to deal with some.

1282
01:07:56,280 --> 01:07:58,120
Speaker 1: Of these issues, all the issues that we talked about

1283
01:07:58,160 --> 01:08:01,160
Speaker 1: during the campaign. The normal amount of confidence to have

1284
01:08:01,280 --> 01:08:04,040
Speaker 1: in this guy to deal with this stuff is really shocking.

1285
01:08:04,920 --> 01:08:07,840
Speaker 1: And then the economic confidence is through the roof. It

1286
01:08:07,960 --> 01:08:10,880
Speaker 1: was in the doldrums Underbiden almost a whole damn administration.

1287
01:08:11,200 --> 01:08:14,960
Speaker 1: It exploded this month, especially the six month outlooks, So

1288
01:08:15,280 --> 01:08:18,040
Speaker 1: people were saying, yeah, I'm more confident or I have

1289
01:08:18,200 --> 01:08:22,760
Speaker 1: I'm more positive about current conditions, both business conditions and

1290
01:08:22,760 --> 01:08:26,400
Speaker 1: employment conditions, but I'm really positive about what they'll be

1291
01:08:26,560 --> 01:08:30,040
Speaker 1: like six months from now. And the most positive change

1292
01:08:30,080 --> 01:08:32,920
Speaker 1: or turn around we saw this month came in total

1293
01:08:32,960 --> 01:08:36,960
Speaker 1: family income. So we'll say you have a positive, neutral,

1294
01:08:37,080 --> 01:08:40,360
Speaker 1: or negative view about the six month outlook. You know,

1295
01:08:40,400 --> 01:08:42,559
Speaker 1: six months from now, how much income your family's going

1296
01:08:42,600 --> 01:08:45,920
Speaker 1: to have, And man, that shot to the moon this month.

1297
01:08:45,960 --> 01:08:49,040
Speaker 1: So I think that people are just feeling a little better,

1298
01:08:49,320 --> 01:08:51,040
Speaker 1: and not a little better, like a lot of better.

1299
01:08:51,240 --> 01:08:53,200
Speaker 2: I mean, here we go, Sean, let me show you this.

1300
01:08:53,280 --> 01:08:56,080
Speaker 1: I'm gonna skip over Trump's favorability just to get to

1301
01:08:56,120 --> 01:08:59,400
Speaker 1: the well, yeah, let's go with the satisfyed with the

1302
01:08:59,400 --> 01:09:02,160
Speaker 1: outcome of the action result. I mean, I'm just stunned

1303
01:09:02,160 --> 01:09:06,880
Speaker 1: at this. Very satisfied is forty one percent, and it's insane.

1304
01:09:07,640 --> 01:09:12,479
Speaker 1: Somewhat satisfied is another fifteen percent, So you're talking about

1305
01:09:13,040 --> 01:09:17,160
Speaker 1: it's insane. And those who were very dissatisfied only twenty

1306
01:09:17,160 --> 01:09:21,000
Speaker 1: eight point eight percent. That's like Obama numbers, folks. That's

1307
01:09:21,080 --> 01:09:24,599
Speaker 1: like after Barack Obama won the election in two thousand

1308
01:09:24,640 --> 01:09:26,920
Speaker 1: and eight and before everyone found out he was full

1309
01:09:26,960 --> 01:09:29,599
Speaker 1: of shit, and everybody was like, oh, well, we feel

1310
01:09:29,640 --> 01:09:32,640
Speaker 1: good about ourselves now, don't we hope and change just

1311
01:09:32,640 --> 01:09:36,519
Speaker 1: come in. That's what this is like, not something a

1312
01:09:36,560 --> 01:09:40,479
Speaker 1: guy who's from a guy who's pulled sixteen twenty twenty four.

1313
01:09:40,640 --> 01:09:43,200
Speaker 1: At the entire time Trump's been on the stage, I

1314
01:09:43,280 --> 01:09:45,280
Speaker 1: never thought I would see numbers for this, and we

1315
01:09:45,320 --> 01:09:48,360
Speaker 1: simply asked, you know, please tell us how satisfied or

1316
01:09:48,400 --> 01:09:51,080
Speaker 1: dissatisfied you are with the outcome of the twenty twenty

1317
01:09:51,120 --> 01:09:54,400
Speaker 1: four US presidential election. That's it and that's what they

1318
01:09:54,439 --> 01:09:55,960
Speaker 1: told us, which is insane.

1319
01:09:56,320 --> 01:09:57,320
Speaker 2: That is insane.

1320
01:09:57,920 --> 01:10:01,040
Speaker 1: And here's Trump's person favorability numbers.

1321
01:10:01,120 --> 01:10:02,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, I got to hear this.

1322
01:10:02,720 --> 01:10:06,120
Speaker 1: Thirty four point one percent very favorable or thirty four

1323
01:10:06,240 --> 01:10:09,840
Speaker 1: and another nineteen percent who are somewhat favorable. The guys

1324
01:10:09,840 --> 01:10:10,759
Speaker 1: at fifty three percent.

1325
01:10:11,080 --> 01:10:14,160
Speaker 2: That's insane, This is incrazy.

1326
01:10:14,200 --> 01:10:17,559
Speaker 1: This is never an Only thirty five point eight percent

1327
01:10:17,680 --> 01:10:21,200
Speaker 1: now have a very unfavorable opinion of them. So like that.

1328
01:10:21,439 --> 01:10:24,200
Speaker 1: And by the way, you saw the dissatisfied very dissatisfied

1329
01:10:24,280 --> 01:10:26,960
Speaker 1: was only twenty nine So you're looking at somewhere between

1330
01:10:27,000 --> 01:10:29,240
Speaker 1: a quarter and a little over a third of the

1331
01:10:29,280 --> 01:10:32,599
Speaker 1: country who still don't like Donald Trump. That is nothing

1332
01:10:32,640 --> 01:10:35,400
Speaker 1: compared to what it was in the past.

1333
01:10:35,760 --> 01:10:37,639
Speaker 2: You know that. And it speaks to what you said.

1334
01:10:37,720 --> 01:10:40,040
Speaker 2: Nobody gives a shit about the media, anybody cares.

1335
01:10:40,320 --> 01:10:42,719
Speaker 1: Nobody look at how they view his handling.

1336
01:10:42,760 --> 01:10:43,720
Speaker 2: I know we're way over here.

1337
01:10:43,720 --> 01:10:47,440
Speaker 1: I'll shut up after this. Do you approve or disapprove

1338
01:10:47,520 --> 01:10:49,360
Speaker 1: of the job that Donald Trump is doing during his

1339
01:10:49,439 --> 01:10:52,519
Speaker 1: transition as president? By the way, such as his cabinet picks,

1340
01:10:52,720 --> 01:10:55,200
Speaker 1: who nobody knows enough about to give a real opinion.

1341
01:10:55,439 --> 01:10:58,599
Speaker 1: So this idea like Pete is so negative or Talsie

1342
01:10:58,720 --> 01:11:03,040
Speaker 1: so negative is a total farce. Nobody knows enough about

1343
01:11:03,080 --> 01:11:05,840
Speaker 1: them to even have a strong opinion. It's unbelievable. So

1344
01:11:05,920 --> 01:11:07,960
Speaker 1: when you just ask them, how are you do you

1345
01:11:07,960 --> 01:11:10,160
Speaker 1: approve of disapprove what Trump's doing? How do you think

1346
01:11:10,160 --> 01:11:12,920
Speaker 1: he's doing? Look at this, thirty four point three percent

1347
01:11:13,000 --> 01:11:18,839
Speaker 1: strongly approve, another twenty percent somewhat approve. Dude, that's fifty

1348
01:11:18,960 --> 01:11:22,400
Speaker 1: five percent almost. This is not anywhere near with this

1349
01:11:22,479 --> 01:11:26,320
Speaker 1: guy has ever been in his career. And strongly disapproved

1350
01:11:26,400 --> 01:11:29,439
Speaker 1: is only twenty eight point three and another ten percent

1351
01:11:29,800 --> 01:11:31,000
Speaker 1: somewhat disapproved.

1352
01:11:31,040 --> 01:11:33,720
Speaker 2: So you're looking at thirty eight percent of disapprove the job.

1353
01:11:33,720 --> 01:11:37,639
Speaker 2: He's doing something that's insane.

1354
01:11:37,680 --> 01:11:39,400
Speaker 1: Man's crazy. I know.

1355
01:11:40,840 --> 01:11:43,240
Speaker 2: It is. I mean, it's amazing. And so Melanie's like

1356
01:11:43,280 --> 01:11:46,080
Speaker 2: texting me, Commander Melanie's texting me. She said it's called

1357
01:11:46,200 --> 01:11:51,320
Speaker 2: plaid infer the Norfolk Norfolk pine garland. She buys a

1358
01:11:51,320 --> 01:11:53,400
Speaker 2: bunch of it. And that's why our living room, mind, God,

1359
01:11:53,720 --> 01:11:56,120
Speaker 2: that's why our living room looks like a winner Wonderland,

1360
01:11:56,439 --> 01:12:00,960
Speaker 2: Norfold pine garland, plaid in fur. See our wives, Man,

1361
01:12:01,000 --> 01:12:05,080
Speaker 2: they're superheroes. They're Christmas superheroes. Laura immediately knew.

1362
01:12:05,120 --> 01:12:07,320
Speaker 1: She's like, hello, go look at the dining room table.

1363
01:12:07,400 --> 01:12:09,400
Speaker 1: And I'm like, oh my cause she does do different

1364
01:12:09,400 --> 01:12:12,080
Speaker 1: things in different places and it somehow ties all it.

1365
01:12:12,479 --> 01:12:14,160
Speaker 1: But I'm like, oh my god, that is a fur

1366
01:12:14,400 --> 01:12:15,880
Speaker 1: like it was like a fur thing like on top

1367
01:12:15,920 --> 01:12:19,120
Speaker 1: of it, on top of the cloth is plaid. And

1368
01:12:19,160 --> 01:12:21,560
Speaker 1: then she has like a rustic fur. I don't know

1369
01:12:21,600 --> 01:12:25,000
Speaker 1: what it's made out of, but it's like, uh, I'm

1370
01:12:25,000 --> 01:12:26,680
Speaker 1: not a girl, Somebody help me out of here. It

1371
01:12:26,760 --> 01:12:30,080
Speaker 1: strends across the table on top of the tablecloth, and

1372
01:12:30,120 --> 01:12:32,519
Speaker 1: it's not our main theme, but she does like it,

1373
01:12:32,800 --> 01:12:34,600
Speaker 1: and she knew exactly what they were talking about. I

1374
01:12:34,600 --> 01:12:36,360
Speaker 1: had to look it up. I'm like, I have I

Speaker 1: it gets two percent. I feel like I'm at it now, man,

01:13:12,280 --> 01:13:14,639
Speaker 2: We're talking about a runner on the table. By the way, Matt,

1390

Speaker 1: Runner, thank you, thank you, Melanie. It's a runner, thank you.

1392
01:13:21,200 --> 01:13:24,519
Speaker 1: And then we're gonna stay here for most of it.

1393
01:13:24,640 --> 01:13:28,640
Speaker 1: I think, I look, it's I don't know that I

1394
01:13:29,120 --> 01:13:33,599
Speaker 1: say live, but I know my in law he moved

1395
01:13:34,120 --> 01:13:36,519
Speaker 1: to South Carolina and it's not that far away, and

1396
01:13:36,560 --> 01:13:38,400
Speaker 1: he's like, can you come for a day, and we'll

1397
01:13:38,479 --> 01:13:41,599
Speaker 1: probably do that. It's just that I want to enjoy

1398
01:13:42,360 --> 01:13:43,840
Speaker 1: my holiday in my house.

1399
01:13:44,160 --> 01:13:46,920
Speaker 2: And hey, there is nothing wrong with that.

1400
01:13:47,000 --> 01:13:49,720
Speaker 1: I completely excited with that. I just decided to take

1401
01:13:49,760 --> 01:13:51,519
Speaker 1: some time off the last thing I want to do,

1402
01:13:51,560 --> 01:13:53,720
Speaker 1: and it's just so much easier for them to come

1403
01:13:53,760 --> 01:13:56,000
Speaker 1: to us for a day. It's it's like.

1404
01:13:55,960 --> 01:14:00,400
Speaker 2: Hey, you got the little kids. You've got the little kids, man,

1405
01:14:00,479 --> 01:14:03,519
Speaker 2: Yeah you're retired, get your ass in the car, pop.

1406
01:14:04,840 --> 01:14:07,720
Speaker 1: Man, and now listen, I have this quite such a

1407
01:14:07,760 --> 01:14:09,720
Speaker 1: weenie she bends all the time for him.

1408
01:14:09,760 --> 01:14:13,280
Speaker 2: I don't know. I understand. Now if someone's older and

1409
01:14:13,320 --> 01:14:17,360
Speaker 2: they can't drive, that's a completely different situation, really different situation.

1410
01:14:17,520 --> 01:14:22,160
Speaker 2: But generally, I'm saying generally speaking, if you've got little

1411
01:14:22,280 --> 01:14:24,680
Speaker 2: kids or little kids and you know, they waking up

1412
01:14:24,720 --> 01:14:27,240
Speaker 2: and the Santa's come in, and like I like keeping

1413
01:14:27,280 --> 01:14:29,240
Speaker 2: them in the house, they can play with their toys,

1414
01:14:29,600 --> 01:14:32,600
Speaker 2: family comes over, they can experience that, you know. I

1415
01:14:32,720 --> 01:14:37,560
Speaker 2: kind of like our family tradition. We've always for the

1416
01:14:37,640 --> 01:14:41,160
Speaker 2: longest time, my grandma and grandpa used to do Christmas Eve.

1417
01:14:41,200 --> 01:14:43,320
Speaker 2: We used to do Christmas Eve there, man, that was

1418
01:14:43,400 --> 01:14:45,639
Speaker 2: so great, Like I have some of the fondest memories

1419
01:14:45,680 --> 01:14:48,000
Speaker 2: in the world of that. And then Christmas Day, like

1420
01:14:48,040 --> 01:14:50,120
Speaker 2: we do Christmas Day at the house, man, But now

1421
01:14:50,160 --> 01:14:53,160
Speaker 2: we do now we kind of taken the torch. We

1422
01:14:53,240 --> 01:14:55,439
Speaker 2: do the Christmas Eve and then we have Christmas Day

1423
01:14:55,479 --> 01:14:56,120
Speaker 2: to ourselves.

1424
01:14:56,200 --> 01:14:59,599
Speaker 1: So and as it should be. As it should be. See,

1425
01:14:59,680 --> 01:15:02,639
Speaker 1: the thing is that they're not gonna like do all that.

1426
01:15:02,800 --> 01:15:05,960
Speaker 1: So like maybe two days after Christmas will go to

1427
01:15:06,040 --> 01:15:08,360
Speaker 1: them and do something. But it's like I'm not going

1428
01:15:08,439 --> 01:15:10,320
Speaker 1: to rush to go do that. I want to relax

1429
01:15:10,360 --> 01:15:12,320
Speaker 1: and enjoy it. When I was young, it was the

1430
01:15:12,360 --> 01:15:14,519
Speaker 1: same thing. In fact, I lived with my grand my

1431
01:15:14,600 --> 01:15:18,479
Speaker 1: grandparents for a while at least when we were younger,

1432
01:15:19,160 --> 01:15:22,240
Speaker 1: with my father and so everyone came to us and

1433
01:15:22,320 --> 01:15:25,280
Speaker 1: we had the big Italian feasts and fishes, and then

1434
01:15:25,439 --> 01:15:26,880
Speaker 1: I would wake up in the same place. It was

1435
01:15:26,960 --> 01:15:29,200
Speaker 1: very cool, unless I was like alternating, because of course

1436
01:15:29,240 --> 01:15:31,280
Speaker 1: I'd add divorced parents at least when I was young,

1437
01:15:31,920 --> 01:15:34,120
Speaker 1: so sometimes we go back and forth. But even that

1438
01:15:34,320 --> 01:15:36,439
Speaker 1: wasn't until a couple of days after Christmas, you know.

1439
01:15:36,560 --> 01:15:39,240
Speaker 1: So I'm not trying to I'm not trying to get

1440
01:15:39,240 --> 01:15:42,880
Speaker 1: in a car December twenty sixth and go do anything. Brother,

1441
01:15:42,960 --> 01:15:43,760
Speaker 1: I'm really not.

1442
01:15:44,240 --> 01:15:47,800
Speaker 2: I'm with you. I'm with you. And besides, like I mean,

1443
01:15:47,840 --> 01:15:50,360
Speaker 2: obviously Christmas and the holiday and spending time with the

1444
01:15:50,360 --> 01:15:52,360
Speaker 2: family and then getting some time to relax and spend

1445
01:15:52,360 --> 01:15:54,400
Speaker 2: time with the kids, but also traveling.

1446
01:15:54,520 --> 01:15:57,639
Speaker 1: Oh my god, are you kidding me? Getting on ninety

1447
01:15:57,680 --> 01:15:58,840

Speaker 2: No, No, that is awesome, ter I'm excited for you, man.
