Time Text
The views expressed by a host on this program documented to be almost always right, 99.8% of the time have not lost any ground, folks, in ten years, maybe even longer.
The opinion audit has either held steady or gone up.
It's an amazing feat.
I don't think anybody else can even claim it in close.
And then again, I don't know who else is audited.
800 two eight two two eight eight two if you want to be on the program.
The Yeah, went down a fraction of a point.
I frankly I don't remember when it did.
It did go down once.
And it was like in the last yeah, it had to be something big.
It was like maybe the last ten years.
I don't recall which.
Anyway, uh aside from that, it's all up.
And uh we're gonna get to the phones in this hour.
Uh 800-282-28.
In fact, let me grab this guy right now.
Because I've I've got polling set up to be the next thing discussed.
We're still waiting on the audio soundbite crew to finish crewing the audio sound bites.
Trump's still speaking, but we are still assembling.
Uh we assemble while the speaker is speaking.
As soon as we get those, because some of them the the th things I heard, I want you to hear the audience response to them.
The economic club of Detroit.
Now, granted, economics, who knows anymore.
I mean, the conventional wisdom is that big business people are Republicans.
We know that's not true anymore.
Big business people are cronies.
And they sidle up to whoever is in power, and it doesn't matter if whoever is in power can be a communist.
They'll sidle up to them.
If it will help their business.
And that's that's one of the deeply troubling things to me.
But out the window is this old cliche that big business people and CEOs are all Republicans.
That isn't anywhere near the truth, particularly when you're talking about Wall Street type firms, they are underwriting the Democrat Party.
They are underwriting the Clinton campaign and its speech income and and half of that foundation donations.
So Trump getting a standing O a number of number of times today to the economic club of Detroit as he did really when he the biggest applause when he savaged Hillary's economic policies.
When he criticized it, really didn't matter for what, when he criticized her, that place erupted.
And it also erupted when he uh uh announced various aspects of his tax plan.
He only got booed once that I heard, and that was when he talked about eliminating carried interest, which I'll get into in more detail.
I explained it in the uh in the first hour.
But let me grab Teddy here in San Antonio.
Teddy, uh, you have a question about polling, it says here.
What is it?
Uh, yes, sir.
Thank you very much for taking my call again.
Yes, sir.
You better millennial conservative dittoes.
I I guess my my question is I've been listening a long time, and your attitude towards polls that have been this far out, at least as I understand it had always been, they're meant to shape public opinion, and that as we get closer to the elections, they start to more accurately reflect so that they can maintain their credibility.
But now it seems like you're saying that we just need to accept these and we can't ignore them, and and I I just have a hard time accepting or or not ignoring polls from ABC and from NBC that are all, you know, they're all kind of conspicuously saying eight, nine, ten points right now.
And you know, polling science to me is about as as reliable as climate science, so it it's a little strange for me that they're all kind of in unison right now.
And I I just wanted to know, I mean, I I thought your old philosophy was very true and very uh accurate, and so now it's kind of confusing for me that you're putting so much weight in these polls that are so far out.
I don't mean to be conveying that.
I I'm I'm not.
You you have articulated my philosophy and my my belief on polls perfectly.
I think polls right now are being shaped, use used to shape public opinion.
I think maybe I'm not making myself clear.
Let me let me follow this off, because everything you say here is right.
The polling that's being done right now inarguably is done as Mr. Frutenberg has practically indicated.
Journalism has been thrown out the window officially now.
We know journalism's been out the window for decades, but he's admitting it's officially out the window now.
So they got to do everything they can to take Trump out, and polling is one of the one of the weapons that they've got.
And I have no doubt that the polls are being used today to create public opinion to depress Trump support, to dispirit Trump support, and to energize Hillary Clinton's support.
And you're right, as we get nearer the election, you can bank on the results being more accurate because at the end of the day, these polling units are only as credible as their accuracy.
And as you get nearer the election, the polling units will more accurately reflect what they find, because when the election's all over, they all want to be able to say they pegged it.
They got it, they got it right.
Now, what I'm leaving out of this in my little timeline, for example, that you heard me do in the in the previous hour, is that in the case of Romney, I didn't believe the polls ever.
And I turned it, I turned out to be really wrong.
I kept man maintaining in September and October when they had when they had uh Obama up six.
And in some polls they had Obama up eight.
And I said, folks, that just can't be.
And what I was doing was factoring in midterm poll out or turnout, 2010 midterms where we skunked them.
And 2014 midterms, did it where we skunked them.
But in in the case of the Romney camp Romney campaign, I was using 2010 and that turnout.
And uh I I was saying they're forgetting that.
Nobody's talking about that turnout.
They're they're comparing the 2012 polling data to the 2008 turnout data.
And it was because presidential election turnout is much different, much higher, uh, particularly among minorities, than it is during midterm elections, such as in 2010.
And I was thinking the reason the mistake I made was I saw the enthusiasm in the 2010 midterm turnout, and it was huge.
Folks, this is the this is the real frustrating thing here, as a side issue.
You know, we all sit here thinking the Republican Party is blowing it left and right, but the fact of the matter is they won two huge midterm landslides, significant victories.
The Democrat Party from the federal level all the way down to local lost over almost a thousand seats in those two elections.
House of Representatives, Senate, state legislatures, governorships, mayors, I mean, all of this.
The Democrats just got shellacked.
And I figured that was Tea Party in 2010.
And I figured that that turnout was just gonna go nuts in 2012.
I thought it would stay energized.
I thought it would show up again because it was anti-Obama, it was anti-Obamacare, and here the guy is, and then the polling continued to show Romney down by six.
I said they're missing the 2010 turnout.
Well, it turned out the polling was dead on right, and I was wrong.
And I was telling everybody in 2012 not to believe the polls.
Because I didn't.
I thought they were jigged.
I thought they were they were jigged up, rigged up, whatever.
And they weren't.
They just didn't care about the 2010 turnout.
It wasn't a factor to them, the polling units.
They only compare presidential years to presidential years.
And so they were assuming a much different turnout for the presidential race in 2012.
So extrapolating that to this year.
Well, we have 2014, a year and a half ago, coming up on two years ago, and it was another blowout.
It was another Republican blowout in the uh in the midterms.
Well, 2012, too, uh with with down ballot races.
We're winning everybody.
Here's the problem.
As everybody well knows.
The Republican Party image is not that of a winner.
The Republican Party image is what?
Do nothing.
Despite all those wins.
The Republican Party image is compromise, cross the aisle, uh, work with Obama, uh, show we can govern, show we can make Washington work.
So even those two massive midterm landslide election victories, which were the result of Republicans running for election on a conservative agenda.
When they got there, they didn't implement that agenda.
They chucked it.
And so the image of the Republican Party nationally is one of compromise, no fight back, uh appeasement, fear, whatever, but it was winning out the wazoo.
It just wasn't winning presidential races, which was even more frustrating.
So moving that forward to the polling discussion now.
We have every poll out there with ex-well, there's two exceptions, but every poll with two exceptions has Hillary up either eight or fifteen.
There's a Reuters Ipsos poll that came out, I think Saturday or Sunday, that's got Hillary up only three margin of error.
But then another poll has since been released since that Reuters Ipsos poll that everybody's using to cancel a wipe it out's got Hillary back up to back to eight, ten, whatever it is.
And then there is a new poll, a USC Irvine or USC uh poll that they Los Angeles Times is publishing, that had Trump up seven the entire week of the Democrat convention.
And after the convention, Hillary got a bump, and she's up one point in that poll.
That's a poll of 3,000 respondents, and 400 of them don't change.
Or 500, 4500, same people, the others change and they rotate out.
It's a daily poll.
They release the results at midnight every night, Eastern time.
And that that shows this race much, much closer.
And all I'm telling you is is the pattern is starting to begin here, Teddy.
And now the pattern is that Republicans, conservatives, Trump supporters are now starting to say the polls are not catching it.
There's so much going on out there that's not being shown up.
The polls are wrong, they're not there, there's all kinds of action for Trump that they're not catching.
And I'm just saying we've heard this before.
I'm just talking about the pattern.
The pattern repeats, and people think that there's all kinds of support for our candidate that somehow is not being found and not being tabulated.
But then when you get down to it, when the presidential race shows up in each of the last two.
Well, in 2008, it really I don't think it was close, up until the financial crisis was announced.
You know, McCain was ahead of Obama until that happened.
But in 2012, there were a lot of people thought Romney was going to win this and win it handily.
And the polls didn't say that.
And the polls ended up being right.
Some of them got it, some of them got it wrong.
But no, no, you're not wrong about anything.
I'm talking about the pattern that happens.
I just find it.
What am I really trying to say here?
Um it's too cliched to say it find it interesting because it obviously is.
It just seems that every presidential election year repeats itself.
The polls come out and it show our guy losing handily.
Either by five, it's it's it's outside the margin of error.
Five, seven, ten, this case fifteen.
And then the pattern is that our side always claims anecdotal evidence to show the polls are wrong.
In the case of Romney, we were looking at the crowds that showed up in the last week for his rallies, and they were over the top.
They rivaled Trump rallies.
They rivaled Trump crowds in terms of size.
Didn't matter.
The rallies had nothing in common with the polling data.
The pattern is repeating here with Trump.
Not only is crowd size and crowd energy being cited, and it's being compared to the lack of energy and lack of size of Hillary's crowds, there's a new metric that's now been introduced, and that's social media.
I received this analysis in the email today.
Some people have gone out there and tabulated how much social media, and they've tabulated by who has followers and likes and who does the Most tweeting and Facebook posting and all that.
And this analysis shows that Trump is just clocking her.
Three to one social media presence.
Three to one social media positives that Trump owns social media.
And they're saying the polling data is not catching that.
The polling data is not showing that.
And I guess what I'm saying is it's a risk here to just throw the polls out and say they don't matter because you end up creating a false reality for yourself that isn't true.
The polls now obviously are being used to drum up support for Hillary and Venom for for Trump.
Hillary's not doing anything to create this support for her.
Hillary's not doing anything.
She's not energizing anybody.
Hillary's not exciting anybody.
In fact, I got even more people here in the audio soundbite roster agreeing with me that the reason she's going up in the polls is that she doesn't say anything.
The quieter she is, the more invisible she is, the greater her numbers are.
And it's true.
The more she shows up and the more she speaks, the more downward her polling data goes.
I'm just look, wouldn't it be better if the polls right now showed Trump ahead, like they did all during the primaries?
You didn't doubt those polls, did you?
How many cruise people were out there said, that's just not true?
There's a lot of cruise people who won't say so.
There's a lot of cruise people that won't admit it.
But to Trump that those polls are not right.
I'm just a big believer in accepting reality and dealing with it.
And the reality that we are facing right now, as has been admitted to today in the New York Times, is the media is all in, not so much for Hillary Clinton, but to destroy Donald Trump.
And they're not gonna let up on this.
So I appreciate the call, Teddy.
I appreciate the opportunity to explain.
I've got to take a brief time out.
I'll get some audio sound bites to back this up to illustrate what I'm talking about, and a couple of polls here to also illustrate people saying, you know, there's all kinds of support for Trump that's not being found.
And we even have, I'm gonna replay for you, Robert Costa, Washington Post last week talking about this very same thing.
So don't go away.
We'll be right back here.
Not believing the Romney polls might have been when my accuracy rating went down, in fact.
It could have been it.
But um I'll tell you what, Gallup has gotten out of the business.
Gallup does not do presidential uh polls anymore because they just couldn't get it right.
And they don't want to be dramatically wrong.
Uh so let's go to the audio sound bites because Kellyanne Conway, a noted pollster, great, great reputation, been out there a long time.
Uh she's now working for Trump.
And she said on uh NBC, the Sunday version of the Today Show, that there's a uh big hidden Trump vote out there that nobody's finding.
Willie Geist asked her the question how concerned are you guys in the Trump campaign about these numbers?
Because they look pretty bad for your guy.
The Reuters poll, which is an online poll where Donald Trump is uh three points behind Hillary Clinton nationally.
And I think the important point to note there is when you have online polls as opposed to telephone polls, Mr. Trump tends to do better, and that's because the online polls approximate the ballot box where you're issuing your vote privately.
We think there's a big hidden Trump vote in this country.
There you have it.
This is how this works.
I hope she's right.
Don't misunderstand me.
But I just remember during the primaries when Trump was leading with these uh astronomical numbers.
The Jeb people were not saying those numbers aren't right.
Our guys actually got a whole lot of hidden support out there.
The Cruise people weren't saying it.
Everybody believed the numbers when Trump was ahead.
Because you could see it, right?
You can see it.
I mean, Trump owned everything.
It made sense that he was up by ten points.
Okay, well, now Trump's not ahead.
He's down by three, down by five, down by ten.
It can't be.
It's gotta be.
It's hidden.
So here comes the Trump campaign.
There's a big hidden Trump vote in this country, not being found.
I'm just saying fits the pattern.
This is what we always do.
It may be right in this case that here.
Listen to Robert Costa of the Washington Post on Charlie Rose last week.
He is not part of the media contingent that thinks Hillary is going to win in a landslide.
Charlie Rose said to him, how deep and how wide is this movement that Trump has in a sense that it has accepted as his reason for being.
It's wider than any party.
I mean, it includes some Bernie Sanders supporters, it includes some libertarians.
The most important voter in this movement when I travel around the country is the previously disengaged voter.
They're almost a nonpartisan voter, but they've given up not just on the political process, but they've disengaged from civic society.
They don't really follow politics.
If that is a real coherent voting block, then Trump, regardless of the polls, will have a shot in November, and regardless of all this mistakes, because that is a huge block.
There's so much of this country that rarely, if ever votes.
And if for some reason they come to the polls and droves, that changes everything.
Well, that could be the big hidden Trump vote that Kellyanne Conway is talking about.
People that never vote, so fed up, ticked off, think they've got a guy now, Trump.
Obviously, polling data is not going to catch them.
Polling data is of likely voters.
Well, that group is never going to be called.
That group's never going to be asked.
And Robert Costa at the Washington Post is warning his media buddies, you know, this is unlike anything we've seen before.
You can't plug this into your usual playbook or formula.
So and that's it's a good reservation to have.
There's even more on this.
We'll get to it right when we get back.
This is three days old.
It's a rasmus and report survey.
62% of likely voters think that Hillary Clinton and her staff deleted an estimated 30,000 emails from her server to hide something incriminating from the FBI.
Forty-five percent say it's very likely.
That I mean, that's most people in the Rasmussen survey think Hillary's hiding something.
Okay, so you're saying, so what?
Well, I need to know how something goes together.
How can most people believe Hillary is citing is hiding something incriminating from the FBI and be leading 10 to 15 points in a poll?
In in that sense, how does it how does it happen that Trump leads by seven, by six, and then the Democrat convention comes and the leads goes from Trump six to Hillary up by ten.
Fifteen.
How does that happen?
Now, I can understand to an extent, some people getting upset over the situation with Mr. and Mrs. Kahn, the Democrat convention.
But not that big a swing.
I mean, these are people who follow politics.
These are people by now who know who Trump is and know who Hillary is.
We're not going to pick up the people that aren't paying attention until September, after Labor Day.
That's the general rule of thumb, is that these campaigns all really begin after Labor Day anyway, because that's when the low information crowd starts tuning in?
And I understand the media's ability to sway public opinion.
That's what we've been talking about.
It's the importance of this New York Times story that I read in the opening hour here.
But that big you telling me that Donald Trump's up eight points, and then the con situation happens and a bunch of ardent Trump supporters get so mad they say, hell no, I'm voting for Hillary.
I just don't think people think that way.
I I just I just don't believe it goes that way.
I uh too many of these polls are just happen to be reflecting exactly what the media thinks.
Exactly what the media want people to think, particularly at this stage of the campaign.
Let me ask any of does anybody out there think that either candidate is gonna win by 15 points in November.
Especially if these third party and fourth party people get in there.
Are you also aware that there is an effort underway in Utah?
That's considered a Trump that's a Trump state.
And it's considered almost an automatic Trump state, but there's an effort out there to deny Trump, apparently.
I can't remember what I read this morning before the program, but it was somebody opining that of all the religions in the country that hate Trump, Mormons are at the top, not Muslims, but Mormons, and pointing out that Romney is Mormon, Mike Lee is Mormon.
And apparently there's an effort out there to put somebody on the presidential candidate, third or fourth or fifth party ticket just to take conservative votes away from Trump so that he would be denied Utah.
And that would mean even if he won Pennsylvania and Florida and Ohio, if he loses Utah, then Hillary wins.
I mean, that's how convoluted this is all getting.
And there are people following these polls, and they get into the crosstabs and they analyze this page with eight polls with eight pages of analysis and so forth.
And that's all nonsense.
Everybody's looking for that one glimmer of data, one bit of data in reams of data that shows the rest of it's not true.
So the dependence on polls, I mean, I get it fully.
Almost, it seems like everybody in politics relies on them for everything, which is another thing that bugs me.
Because the assumption is that they're infallible and that they are accurate snapshots of the moment.
And at this stage of the game, I just, I don't know.
From the Washington Post, poll finds Clinton has widened lead of Trump to eight points.
This is from yesterday.
Hillary Clinton's emerged from the two major party conventions and their aftermath with an eight-point lead over Trump.
Washington Post ABC News poll, Clinton and Tim Cain now lead Trump and Pence 50 to 42 among registered voters.
Among likely voters, it's 5144-7-point lead.
Hillary appears to have been aided.
Now here we go.
Hillary appears to have been aided as well by days of controversy that Trump generated with his sharp criticism of a Muslim American family whose son was killed in Iraq and who rebuked Trump on stage, Democrat Convention.
Now let me just tell you something.
I don't know every Trump supporter, obviously, but I don't know very many of them who are going to change their thinking because of what somebody says on stage at the Democrat convention.
Now, they might change their opinion because of what Trump says.
My belief is that the only person who can destroy Trump's campaign is Trump.
And that's all part of my belief how firm that bond of support is with him.
I don't think media christen criticism can destroy him, but they want us to believe that it can.
And they, the media want to believe that they can do it.
Now, Reuters, Clinton's lead over Trump narrows to less than three points.
Reuters Ipsos, Democrat presidential nominee Hillary Clinton's lead over Trump narrowed to less than three points, according to a Reuters Ipsos poll released on Friday.
That's down from nearly eight points on Monday.
And the LA Times U.S. C. Dornzeif daybreak poll, this is the this is the relatively new one that I was talking about earlier.
They report results at midnight every night.
You can see it via graph on their website, and they've got 3,000 respondents.
They claim that their results have a 95% chance of being right.
And this bunch has had Trump up by seven, six and a half, six point eight, five percent throughout.
And now Hillary's up by one point.
That's her bounce after the Democrat can well, Trump was up by six, Hillary's a bounce of seven points for Hillary.
But it's not Hillary up by eight or five or fifteen.
And as of Saturday, that poll showed Clinton at 44-6, Trump at 44-2.
And I think uh Hillary's gone up a full point by now.
And then, of course, Kellyanne Conway saying there's a huge, big hidden Trump vote out there.
Now, let's look at some of these individual stories and ask what the impact of them are as it relates to polling data.
Because when it boils all down, the news of every presidential race this time of year is polls.
Make no mistake about it.
It's an exact, inexact science, and yet everybody throws all their eggs in that basket.
So remember the story that Donald Trump kicked babies out of his convention and hates babies.
I go back to Mr. Rutenberg's story in the New York Times today, or Sunday yesterday, where he claims that the media is so outraged over what Trump represents and the danger Trump poses.
They have to throw everything they've ever learned, everything they've ever been taught out the window.
And they must assume for the first time in their careers an oppositional position.
Never before has the drive-by media opposed anyone.
They have been objectively reporting on all candacies and all campaigns and letting the chips fall.
But this, this is so bad, this is so overwhelmingly dangerous that they have had to step outside every limit they've ever known and been taught.
They've had to throw objectivity out the window.
They've had to throw fairness out the window and do nothing but make sure Trump doesn't get anywhere near the nuclear codes because he's unstable, he's unfit, he doesn't have the right temperament, and they've got to save America.
And he then went on to say the danger in this is that we end up supporting Trump's opponent.
As though it's an afterthought, as though it's an accident.
We're so committed to defeating Trump.
That of course it looks like we're supporting Hillary, and that's not good for journalism.
It's also not good for America, Jim, when you get right down to it.
But the Trump hates babies stories.
The fact is the whole thing was made up.
Trump told a joke.
There was a lady in the crowd, baby was crying.
He made a joke about getting around.
No, keep it, we love babies.
He went on and the baby didn't leave, the mother didn't leave, nobody had to leave, Trump didn't force anybody, does not hate babies.
But for a week, the story was out there that Trump hates babies.
It finally got so bad, it was so over the top that the fact checker at the Washington Post, a guy by the name of Glenn Kessler, had to do a story debunking it.
But it was too little too late.
It was after a week.
Now that wasn't journalism, that was strictly lies told over and over, embellished over and over, the whole thing was made up, but the damage done.
And it just the thing that's always amazed me about things like this.
I try to put myself in the position of being a low information person.
It's hard to do, admittedly.
But I try to think, I try to think as somebody other than what I am.
I'm deeply enmeshed and involved in all this.
And I try to ask myself, okay, if I'm minding my own business, I'm playing Pokemon.
Or I'm out there playing Xbox One, I'm playing whatever on them.
I'm watching eentertainment TZ, and all of a sudden I see a news story.
that Donald Trump Republican presidential candidate hates babies.
I just can't imagine automatically believing it.
I can't imagine sitting there going, "My God, this guy's a reprobate, hates babies, Mabel, did you hear that?
There's a guy running for H babies.
And we we we gotta stop that.
I I know there are people that react that way, but I cannot.
I cannot, I just cannot fathom it.
Well, I know it's the same thing.
Whenever I you hear that maybe Donald Trump out there, he hates, he literally hates, he hates Muslims, he hates a Mexican, you believe.
And people, oh man, there's no suspicion in these people's minds.
There's no curiosity, there's no, really that sounds over the top.
But I guess they succeeded in that narrative that Trump hates babies.
Well, if the Now I that's see, Snerdley just said something to me, and I don't believe that.
Snerdley said to me that even the journalists who didn't see it believed it.
He did.
Ron Fournier apologized.
Holy smokes.
Ron Fournier apparently believed the story was right, that Trump hates babies and was kicking babies out of his appearances and turned out to be wrong.
And so he apologized on Twitter for for belief for assuming that was true.
Well, then he hadn't seen the story, just assumed it was right.
Well, then he's a low information voter.
That just boggles my mind.
But see, I know it's a reality.
I I even though I can't relate to it.
And that's so sad that you can make people believe this garbage.
And here's here's a case of a an informed uh drive-by reporter.
It's like I just saw something else here.
It was on CNN.
Trump's speech to the economic club of Detroit is finished.
And they had some guy from Wall Street on there.
Some looked like he was a billionaire, eminently successful guy from some investment house or some such thing, and he was about 60, it looked like.
And his complaint was that Trump didn't say anything about the minimum wage.
And my reaction was, "The guy knows the minimum wage is a phony baloney, plastic banana, good time rock and roller, do nothing issue." He has to know it.
And then I got to thinking, how many of these people know that what they're promoting and what they're saying is abjectly wrong.
Everything people think about the minimum wage.
It actually raises standards of it doesn't do anything of the sort.
And I maintain they know it.
But I may be wrong.
Even though they might be billionaires or millionaires, it's just as likely they're just as stupid and think things that are dead wrong about economics, even though they somehow succeeded.
Ha!
Are you welcome back?
Look, bottom line, it's way too early to count anybody out, to count anything out.
It is way too early, but that's what the drivebases are trying to do, and it's in the New York Times yesterday.
I don't mean to be beaten up on my buddy Jim Rutenberg.
I re but he wrote it.
He wrote what they're doing.
Trump is so dangerous they've got to take him out.
Well, we got to apply that to everything we see in the drive-by's then.
We have to apply it to the stories they're doing on TV in print.
We got to apply it to the polling that they're doing and reporting.
And I'm telling you, based on what they've done, based on how totally out of balance, I don't even want to use the word unfair, because that's a childish word, but the imbalance here and the the uh assaultive nature of this.
Trump ought to be down 20, if you ask me.
The fact that he's within three in one poll or five or eight in another, he ought to have been destroyed by now.
You stop back, step back, and look at all of this subjectively, things they are reporting about Donald Trump, things they're making up.
It's it's not just the usual racist, sexist, bigoted, homophobic reprobate.
It hates babies.
It's one impossible negative trait after another.
He ought to have been relegated to irrelevancy, but he hasn't been.
I'll tell you something else.
For any of you in the Trump campaign, going back here to Kellyanne Conway's point that there's a whole and and Costa, Robert Costa, these two things, you combine them.
Kellyanne Conway, there's a whole bunch of people out there that polling isn't touching.
That polling isn't finding.
And Robert Costa Says a lot of them are people that just don't vote.
