There's a lot to keep 68 00:03:20,240 --> 00:03:23,360 up with, and you know a lot of other stuff 69 00:03:23,400 --> 00:03:25,680 going on. It's an election season, et cetera.

And I didn't 72 00:03:30,919 --> 00:03:34,719 realize this. I didn't really pay attention to it, and 73 00:03:34,520 --> 00:03:36,800 not that you would be able to tell, because people 74 00:03:37,120 --> 00:03:41,199 can actually rent out and sell these accounts, so DoorDash 75 00:03:41,240 --> 00:03:44,400 and uber eats. There are tongues of Venezuelan immigrants who 76 00:03:44,560 --> 00:03:48,960 entered illegally who are now working as food delivery drivers 77 00:03:48,960 --> 00:03:54,120 across America. There have been over a million Venezuelan citizens 78 00:03:54,159 --> 00:03:58,479 who have flooded, largely illegally into the United States. Now 79 00:03:58,560 --> 00:04:00,680 some have gone the legal way, and that's totally fine. 80 00:04:00,759 --> 00:04:01,520 Go to the legal way. 81 00:04:01,639 --> 00:04:02,680 Speaker 3: Let everybody know who you are. 82 00:04:02,800 --> 00:04:04,360 Speaker 1: We just still want terrorists coming up in here in 83 00:04:04,439 --> 00:04:06,840 axe murderers and rapists and kid touchers. 84 00:04:06,560 --> 00:04:08,199 Speaker 3: And all that stuff. Let people know who you are, 85 00:04:08,240 --> 00:04:09,000 et cetera. 86 00:04:09,080 --> 00:04:13,680 Speaker 1: But largely, like over ninety percent, it's not been and 87 00:04:14,120 --> 00:04:15,039 coming in through the US. 88 00:04:15,120 --> 00:04:15,919 Speaker 3: Mexico border. 89 00:04:16,759 --> 00:04:18,920 Speaker 1: Now people are wondering about the safety of the delivery 90 00:04:18,920 --> 00:04:21,480 apps and the ability of trust. 91 00:04:21,879 --> 00:04:25,000 Speaker 3: Can customers trust these people delivering food to their homes? 92 00:04:25,959 --> 00:04:28,439 Speaker 1: And then you get you know, a personal information that's 93 00:04:28,560 --> 00:04:29,519 you know, that's out there. 94 00:04:30,240 --> 00:04:32,920 Speaker 3: So apparently people have. 95 00:04:32,879 --> 00:04:35,399 Speaker 1: Been going People who've been coming into the country legally 96 00:04:35,759 --> 00:04:38,160 say that these jobs are one of the easiest ways 97 00:04:38,199 --> 00:04:41,839 to make money when they first come here. One Venezuelan 98 00:04:41,920 --> 00:04:45,600 door driver who came here illegally told the press that 99 00:04:46,040 --> 00:04:47,959 even before I leve Venezuela to come here, I knew 100 00:04:47,959 --> 00:04:49,879 I could rent an account that wasn't mine to work 101 00:04:49,920 --> 00:04:52,879 in food delivery. The crazy thing is is that people 102 00:04:52,879 --> 00:04:55,079 will sell these counts like on Facebook and Twitter, and 103 00:04:55,120 --> 00:04:56,839 you can shut it down. You can shut the account 104 00:04:56,959 --> 00:04:59,519 or x and then another one will open up like 105 00:04:59,560 --> 00:05:00,839 that doing the same thing. 106 00:05:00,879 --> 00:05:01,839 Speaker 3: I mean, they crop up. 107 00:05:02,879 --> 00:05:05,319 Speaker 1: And this guy said, there's another guy who said he 108 00:05:05,360 --> 00:05:07,519 was authorized to work in the US or he was 109 00:05:07,560 --> 00:05:10,279 waiting for authorization, because that can sometimes take weeks to 110 00:05:10,279 --> 00:05:12,639 wait for your authorization. He didn't want to be associated 111 00:05:12,639 --> 00:05:15,120 with crime asset, hiss navy withheld and he said, you know, 112 00:05:15,399 --> 00:05:17,720 he was able to set up and get his account 113 00:05:17,759 --> 00:05:21,279 to do this even before he got here. A lot 114 00:05:21,279 --> 00:05:24,879 of they said that at least there are thousands of 115 00:05:25,000 --> 00:05:28,240 Venezuelans who have come to the DFW area Dallas Fort 116 00:05:28,279 --> 00:05:33,120 Worth legally and illegally, many illegally. And you pay a 117 00:05:33,160 --> 00:05:37,240 fee and you rent out a delivery app account, like 118 00:05:37,279 --> 00:05:39,800 someone will say on X and there's screenshots of all 119 00:05:39,839 --> 00:05:42,959 of this, like who's renting a DoorDash account. There was 120 00:05:43,000 --> 00:05:46,279 a Venezuelan Friends in Dallas, Texas group on Facebook. Now 121 00:05:46,319 --> 00:05:49,160 some are here legally, but largely these are used by 122 00:05:49,160 --> 00:05:53,079 people who are not here legally, and they, I mean, 123 00:05:53,079 --> 00:05:55,199 they'll publicly discuss it or they'll discuss it in these 124 00:05:55,199 --> 00:05:58,839 groups like rent an Uber account or I'm renting my 125 00:05:59,000 --> 00:06:02,199 Uber account, message me if someone's interested, et cetera. And 126 00:06:02,240 --> 00:06:04,560 they said this. One guy said, the rentals one hundred 127 00:06:04,600 --> 00:06:06,040 and fifty dollars a week. You have to keep it 128 00:06:06,079 --> 00:06:08,839 active for three months content continuously, and if you want 129 00:06:08,879 --> 00:06:10,480 to buy it, it's nine hundred dollars. 130 00:06:11,720 --> 00:06:15,319 Speaker 3: And you can do like they do. Install it's crazy. 131 00:06:17,720 --> 00:06:20,519 Speaker 1: They and you deliver food and you or make these 132 00:06:20,519 --> 00:06:26,560 deliveries with these apps and it's very easy. Now I 133 00:06:26,639 --> 00:06:31,360 know I missed out myself, do you see the problem 134 00:06:31,639 --> 00:06:34,439 that is arising from the problem of an open border. 135 00:06:36,399 --> 00:06:41,600 My first thought was, when Democrats start getting criticized for this, 136 00:06:41,639 --> 00:06:46,560 what are Democrats going to say in response, Because they've 137 00:06:46,560 --> 00:06:50,839 already been at war with third party contractors, correct licensing, 138 00:06:51,240 --> 00:06:54,959 and different states, particularly in states like California. So what 139 00:06:55,120 --> 00:06:58,000 is the problem that you think they're going to say 140 00:06:58,000 --> 00:07:01,959 they're going to solve when they're criticized about illegal immigrants 141 00:07:02,199 --> 00:07:05,680 using and well abusing these apps this way, we need 142 00:07:05,720 --> 00:07:10,639 government oversight of these apps. We need government oversight of 143 00:07:10,720 --> 00:07:13,120 DoorDash and uber to be able to figure out who 144 00:07:13,600 --> 00:07:16,319 that's what they're going to propose. It's almost like they 145 00:07:16,319 --> 00:07:22,160 set up for further government incursion into digital spaces and 146 00:07:21,319 --> 00:07:28,199 digitally based businesses. But the problem is just to shut 147 00:07:28,240 --> 00:07:31,959 the damn border to people flooding in illegally. But that's 148 00:07:31,959 --> 00:07:36,319 not how they'll look at it. Texas and then apparently 149 00:07:36,360 --> 00:07:40,120 specifically the Bay Area of California are hotspots like the 150 00:07:40,240 --> 00:07:43,120 Dallas area and then like around the Bay Area of California, 151 00:07:44,000 --> 00:07:46,399 and a lot of them are worried about gang members 152 00:07:46,879 --> 00:07:51,639 getting this information or taking advantage of these services, et cetera. 153 00:07:52,600 --> 00:07:55,199 And they said, organized crime will always find a way. 154 00:07:55,240 --> 00:07:58,279 According to one user, it's going to be hard to 155 00:07:58,279 --> 00:07:59,759 tell the good people from the bad people. 156 00:08:00,800 --> 00:08:03,079 Speaker 3: And doesn't that make it you know, let's kind of 157 00:08:03,120 --> 00:08:04,079 think about it. That's kind of. 158 00:08:04,040 --> 00:08:09,560 Speaker 1: Harsh, because what if it's I honestly think, yes, you're 159 00:08:09,600 --> 00:08:11,519 breaking the law when you come in illegally. It's a crime, 160 00:08:11,680 --> 00:08:14,399 and there should be penalty for that. But I also 161 00:08:14,439 --> 00:08:17,920 think that there are grades of crime. Being a killer 162 00:08:17,959 --> 00:08:22,759 gang member is probably worse, I would think. And this 163 00:08:23,000 --> 00:08:27,120 doesn't this not go against democrats argument about immigrants, Oh, 164 00:08:27,360 --> 00:08:30,319 not all immigrants are criminals and all of this other stuff. 165 00:08:30,360 --> 00:08:32,480 But do you realize what you're setting them up for 166 00:08:32,559 --> 00:08:35,679 this failure because you've kept the border open, You've made 167 00:08:35,679 --> 00:08:39,840 it even when people come here legally. Democrats have refused 168 00:08:39,840 --> 00:08:41,879 to work with Republicans to remove a lot of the 169 00:08:41,960 --> 00:08:45,120 red tape and expedite the process for good, hard working 170 00:08:45,159 --> 00:08:47,120 people that say, hey, look here we are, here's everything 171 00:08:47,120 --> 00:08:48,759 we're coming in, we're bringing our skill set in, we 172 00:08:48,799 --> 00:08:50,480 want to raise our kids, how we'll vote Republican. 173 00:08:50,519 --> 00:08:51,159 Speaker 3: We don't even care. 174 00:08:52,159 --> 00:08:54,200 Speaker 1: Fine with all that, but you see what I mean, 175 00:08:54,200 --> 00:08:56,159 It's like they're setting people up to fail. They don't 176 00:08:56,240 --> 00:08:59,480 change any of the mechanics, they just make it worse. 177 00:09:00,200 --> 00:09:04,600 It's one of the craziest things. And I mean, I'd 178 00:09:04,639 --> 00:09:07,120 never actually thought about this, And I mean, now, do 179 00:09:07,159 --> 00:09:10,799 you do came when you do your dordasher uber, Like, 180 00:09:10,879 --> 00:09:12,879 do you do you have like a no contact delivery thing? 181 00:09:13,200 --> 00:09:13,399 Speaker 3: Yeah? 182 00:09:13,399 --> 00:09:16,039 Speaker 2: I have that option where they just sleep. So the 183 00:09:16,080 --> 00:09:18,399 instructions for me is just leave it at that.

There's one hiker 240 00:11:52,879 --> 00:11:56,440 who apparently is still missing. The flooding happened. It was 241 00:11:56,480 --> 00:11:58,840 a kind of quickout happened. They said it was massive 242 00:11:58,840 --> 00:12:02,440 flash flooding on Thursday, and it was one hundred and 243 00:12:02,480 --> 00:12:05,559 four tourists total and tribal members that had to be 244 00:12:05,600 --> 00:12:10,200 evacuated from the area. And it's a very remote part 245 00:12:10,279 --> 00:12:12,240 of the country. It's about a half mile from Colorado River, 246 00:12:12,360 --> 00:12:14,879 so good heavens everybody stays safe. 247 00:12:15,279 --> 00:12:15,960 Speaker 3: This is a. 248 00:12:18,440 --> 00:12:22,759 Speaker 1: This schools are competing with cell phones because some schools 249 00:12:23,080 --> 00:12:26,720 are removing them from the classrooms entirely. The Associated Press 250 00:12:26,840 --> 00:12:30,360 gets into some of this. They're saying that students are 251 00:12:30,360 --> 00:12:33,080 actually like dull, performing better when you do remove phones 252 00:12:33,120 --> 00:12:35,519 from the classrooms. They said that they've been teachers have 253 00:12:35,559 --> 00:12:40,080 been fighting shortened attention spans, reduced attendance, worsening academic performance, 254 00:12:40,519 --> 00:12:43,200 and they're trying to reverse this. They're banning cell phones 255 00:12:43,279 --> 00:12:45,720 in school. Some schools are going so far as to 256 00:12:45,759 --> 00:12:48,559 ban them on the campus entirely, which I don't know 257 00:12:48,559 --> 00:12:49,799 if that's like the best thing to do if you're 258 00:12:49,840 --> 00:12:51,279 a football game at night and your parents need to 259 00:12:51,279 --> 00:12:53,960 pick you up. But I mean at least that they're 260 00:12:54,000 --> 00:12:56,360 they're putting them in cell phone pouches, lockers and bends. 261 00:12:56,360 --> 00:13:00,120 That has grown in popularity and some students that of 262 00:13:00,120 --> 00:13:04,799 an up trying to some parents teachers have tried, abandoned, trying. 263 00:13:04,600 --> 00:13:05,559 Speaker 3: To stop it all together. 264 00:13:06,200 --> 00:13:09,200 Speaker 1: But they said that it's there's really nothing to You 265 00:13:09,200 --> 00:13:11,120 can't compete with the cell phone in the classroom, which 266 00:13:11,159 --> 00:13:13,200 is true. I mean that seems like obvious and parents, 267 00:13:13,320 --> 00:13:15,120 obviously I think would be good partners for this. 268 00:13:15,559 --> 00:13:17,039 Speaker 3: Oh, but I saw this over the weekend. 269 00:13:17,159 --> 00:13:19,559 Speaker 1: They're saying that there's new uh, there's a new vaccine, 270 00:13:19,559 --> 00:13:21,600 by the way, that's out, the COVID vaccine. The latest 271 00:13:21,679 --> 00:13:24,120 vaccine is out for COVID. Oh, and they've got new 272 00:13:24,559 --> 00:13:29,039 free COVID tests again coming out free, meaning we're paying 273 00:13:29,080 --> 00:13:31,519 for the stupid stuff. They're made in China, by the way. 274 00:13:31,919 --> 00:13:33,600 You know this right, they're made in China, just like 275 00:13:33,639 --> 00:13:36,879 the last ones were made in China. The Biden administration 276 00:13:37,039 --> 00:13:39,159 is bringing back the free at home COVID nineteen tests 277 00:13:39,159 --> 00:13:41,639 by mail. Each house can hold order up to four 278 00:13:41,679 --> 00:13:44,679 of the rabbit tests their COVID tests at GOP. Is 279 00:13:44,679 --> 00:13:47,879 this still a thing? Are people still doing this? Are 280 00:13:47,879 --> 00:13:50,120 we still doing You know they're not accurate and not 281 00:13:50,200 --> 00:13:53,080 only are they not accurate, but I mean again. 282 00:13:53,480 --> 00:13:55,919 Speaker 3: Made in China. Oh, let's see. 283 00:13:56,000 --> 00:14:00,000 Speaker 1: Sports gambling is taking a toll on Americans checkbooks according 284 00:14:00,200 --> 00:14:02,600 to research. I don't know this was such like a 285 00:14:02,600 --> 00:14:06,960 big I mean, yeah, it does make sense. This is CNBC. 286 00:14:07,159 --> 00:14:09,120 They're saying that researchers have been looking at the impact 287 00:14:09,120 --> 00:14:12,240 of legalized sports gambling on American households, and they found 288 00:14:12,279 --> 00:14:14,519 that households and states were gambling was I legalized. They 289 00:14:15,039 --> 00:14:19,360 saw reduced savings as well as they said, lower investments 290 00:14:19,360 --> 00:14:22,600 and assets like stocks that are considered more financially sound 291 00:14:22,960 --> 00:14:25,960 states that have legalized the states have legalized sports betting 292 00:14:25,960 --> 00:14:28,840 and saw their residents aggregate credit scores decrease. Also in 293 00:14:28,919 --> 00:14:35,720 bankruptcies increase. It's not a free lunch legislation. I am 294 00:14:36,279 --> 00:14:39,639 amazed at they keep talking about the change, but yet 295 00:14:39,639 --> 00:14:44,080 they're in charge. And in the meantime, Biden is heading 296 00:14:44,120 --> 00:14:50,600 to his Delaware beach house from Sunday to Tuesday. According 297 00:14:50,639 --> 00:14:54,240 to Marinda, Devine reported the FAA no fly zone alert 298 00:14:55,000 --> 00:14:59,320 and he was right after he spoke at the DNC 299 00:15:00,279 --> 00:15:05,320 in Chicago. The family took the flight to Santa Barbara 300 00:15:05,399 --> 00:15:07,360 and I made mention of this. I talked about this 301 00:15:07,480 --> 00:15:09,919 story because the number of reporters have mentioned it, and 302 00:15:09,919 --> 00:15:11,600 there was a big piece of Daily Mail there was 303 00:15:11,600 --> 00:15:14,919 something over it AXI. I think it was Axios or Politico, 304 00:15:15,759 --> 00:15:18,759 and they were saying he was visibly shaking, like shaking 305 00:15:18,799 --> 00:15:24,039 when he got off the plane. And that Tuesday night 306 00:15:24,120 --> 00:15:29,039 when he spoke, he was on came. Was it twelve 307 00:15:29,279 --> 00:15:35,480 thirty Eastern when he finished. I just remember I was 308 00:15:35,519 --> 00:15:38,279 so tired. I couldn't stay up because I had traveled. 309 00:15:38,279 --> 00:15:41,399 I was in Knoxville that weekend for a Gun Owners 310 00:15:41,960 --> 00:15:46,919 for America event, and then I had so much stuff 311 00:15:46,960 --> 00:15:49,240 going on, and I remember he was up so late. 312 00:15:49,279 --> 00:15:53,039 I'm like, I cannot, I cannot keep watching this. This 313 00:15:53,120 --> 00:15:53,679 is crazy. 314 00:15:53,759 --> 00:15:55,919 Speaker 3: I've got to go to bed. I'm so tired. And 315 00:15:55,960 --> 00:15:59,559 he was still talking and they it would have been later. 316 00:16:00,679 --> 00:16:05,840 Speaker 1: They said that they had mixed this video tribute that 317 00:16:05,840 --> 00:16:06,600 they made for him. 318 00:16:06,639 --> 00:16:08,120 Speaker 3: Do you really think they made one? I don't know. 319 00:16:09,279 --> 00:16:12,200 Speaker 1: And they were James Taylor was gonna play, was he there? 320 00:16:12,320 --> 00:16:14,360 Can you imagine being James Taylor and you're brought out. 321 00:16:14,360 --> 00:16:17,399 That was Biden's favorite singer. You're James Taylor and you're 322 00:16:17,399 --> 00:16:18,840 brought out and they're like, we don't have time for 323 00:16:18,879 --> 00:16:19,639 you because. 324 00:16:19,399 --> 00:16:20,519 Speaker 3: They let everybody else go. 325 00:16:21,480 --> 00:16:24,840 Speaker 1: And so they had Joe speak and you could tell 326 00:16:24,840 --> 00:16:27,120 he was mad. They were all mad, and they sort 327 00:16:27,159 --> 00:16:28,960 of relegated him towards the very end of the show, 328 00:16:29,000 --> 00:16:30,879 after half of America had already gone to bed because 329 00:16:30,879 --> 00:16:33,240 it was twelve thirty Eastern. And then he gets on 330 00:16:33,240 --> 00:16:37,279 the plane, goes to California's at this ranch for a 331 00:16:37,279 --> 00:16:39,279 week with his family. The whole family goes. I guess 332 00:16:39,279 --> 00:16:41,679 they don't none of them work. And he's there for 333 00:16:41,720 --> 00:16:44,799 a week and he was visibly shaking. Interestingly, how there 334 00:16:44,799 --> 00:16:48,159 were no photos or video of it because the press 335 00:16:48,159 --> 00:16:53,120 protects him is why now some interesting things in the 336 00:16:53,759 --> 00:16:56,320 now that we're in the aftermath of the DNC. So 337 00:16:56,399 --> 00:17:05,799 they said that Michelle Obama only confirmed her spot speaking 338 00:17:05,880 --> 00:17:08,200 spot only confirmed that she would speak at the DNC 339 00:17:09,119 --> 00:17:13,559 after Biden had dropped out. She would not confirm it 340 00:17:13,599 --> 00:17:19,119 before then. She has she was very close. She was 341 00:17:19,160 --> 00:17:22,119 a very close friend. And you can go back before 342 00:17:22,160 --> 00:17:25,559 all of this happened. You can look at previous articles from. 343 00:17:25,440 --> 00:17:27,519 Speaker 3: Like ten years ago longer. 344 00:17:27,920 --> 00:17:30,680 Speaker 1: She was always very close with Hunter Biden's ex wife, 345 00:17:30,799 --> 00:17:34,440 Kathleen Buell. They were always very close in DC. They 346 00:17:34,480 --> 00:17:38,079 lived in DC, they talked regularly. They were actually real 347 00:17:38,160 --> 00:17:41,119 friends not just political friends, they were real friends. And 348 00:17:41,359 --> 00:17:45,319 the rumor was it was always out there. Everybody was 349 00:17:45,359 --> 00:17:48,400 kind of aware of it, that she was livid with 350 00:17:48,440 --> 00:17:52,480 the way that the Bidens had treated Buell, and she 351 00:17:52,559 --> 00:17:55,400 took Buell's side, you know, and her husband, Barack Obama, 352 00:17:55,440 --> 00:17:57,440 he's former president, that was his vice president. You know, 353 00:17:57,440 --> 00:17:59,160 he's got to kind of, you know, play the game. 354 00:17:59,640 --> 00:18:02,680 Michelle didn't have to. So the word is that she 355 00:18:02,799 --> 00:18:06,200 which is why her name wasn't added onto the website 356 00:18:06,920 --> 00:18:10,440 until and that was somebody had put that on X 357 00:18:10,519 --> 00:18:14,000 and it was the night after Biden had dropped out, 358 00:18:14,039 --> 00:18:16,119 and that's when her name was put on the as 359 00:18:16,160 --> 00:18:16,599 a speaker. 360 00:18:16,640 --> 00:18:17,920 Speaker 3: She would not confirm. 361 00:18:17,640 --> 00:18:21,599 Speaker 1: Until after he had dropped out because she wasn't going 362 00:18:21,640 --> 00:18:23,319 to be there. If he would, she was not going 363 00:18:23,400 --> 00:18:26,720 to be there. Interesting how that there's a lot of 364 00:18:26,799 --> 00:18:31,519 drama going on there, the Biden's influence and all of that. 365 00:18:31,519 --> 00:18:33,039 Speaker 3: Is done done. 366 00:18:33,119 --> 00:18:35,480 Speaker 1: He was never a good frind raiser, even when he 367 00:18:35,759 --> 00:18:38,440 had all of his wits. He's not going to be 368 00:18:38,519 --> 00:18:43,440 I mean, the family is utterly useless to democrats. And 369 00:18:43,519 --> 00:18:46,559 if you're utterly useless, you're just swept under the rug. 370 00:18:46,640 --> 00:18:48,400 If you can't raise money, which is the reason that 371 00:18:48,400 --> 00:18:50,400 Bill Clinton has been around as long as he's been 372 00:18:51,039 --> 00:18:52,119 because he was always. 373 00:18:51,880 --> 00:18:53,160 Speaker 3: A powerhouse fundraiser. 374 00:18:53,359 --> 00:18:56,079 Speaker 1: That's why they kept him around for as long he 375 00:18:56,119 --> 00:18:59,720 was a powerhouse fundraiser. Barack Obama can raise money too. 376 00:19:01,160 --> 00:19:04,200 It's interesting Barack Obama wasn't able to start raising money 377 00:19:04,240 --> 00:19:07,000 until really his second term. His coat tails used to 378 00:19:07,039 --> 00:19:09,279 be so short that people like Claire McCaskill and others 379 00:19:09,359 --> 00:19:13,000 refused to do campaign events with him because they did 380 00:19:13,000 --> 00:19:15,279 not want him to tank their chances. This was in 381 00:19:15,400 --> 00:19:20,400 the twenty twelve actually, when we took the shellacking interesting 382 00:19:20,599 --> 00:19:24,440 twenty twelve, It wasn't until after that waypoint, and even 383 00:19:24,839 --> 00:19:29,039 what is it, twenty ten, they didn't nobody wanted. People 384 00:19:29,039 --> 00:19:32,160 didn't want to fund raise with him. So interesting, especially 385 00:19:32,160 --> 00:19:34,680 Middle America folks because of the bitter clinger remark that 386 00:19:34,720 --> 00:19:35,319 followed him. 387 00:19:35,680 --> 00:19:38,799 Speaker 3: Anyway, So my point in bringing this up is they're not. 388 00:19:39,960 --> 00:19:43,240 Speaker 1: They seem unified on the surface because that's what the 389 00:19:43,279 --> 00:19:46,920 media want you to think, but they really aren't. And 390 00:19:46,960 --> 00:19:52,480 I keep hearing that the internals, the internal polling numbers, 391 00:19:52,839 --> 00:19:53,920 and I want to talk about that. 392 00:19:53,880 --> 00:19:56,880 Speaker 3: Here real quick. For Harris and some of these others. 393 00:19:56,920 --> 00:19:59,599 Speaker 1: I keep hearing that the Eternal internal polling numbers are 394 00:20:00,200 --> 00:20:02,400 kind of rough and they're not what they want them 395 00:20:02,440 --> 00:20:04,319 to be, which is one of the reasons why like 396 00:20:04,319 --> 00:20:05,920 five point thirty eight didn't you know, the New York 397 00:20:05,960 --> 00:20:08,839 Times then why they didn't have them up. And I 398 00:20:08,839 --> 00:20:11,799 thought that was kind of interesting because nationally, if you 399 00:20:11,799 --> 00:20:15,759 look at the RCP average, et cetera, they're pretty close, right, which, 400 00:20:15,799 --> 00:20:18,519 but but there's there's I think there's a reason why 401 00:20:18,559 --> 00:20:20,720 they keep pushing this unity and joy and shoving it 402 00:20:20,720 --> 00:20:23,480 down your throats, because there really is not a lot 403 00:20:23,480 --> 00:20:26,640 of unity and joy behind the scenes.
