| Welcome to today's edition of the Rush 24-7 podcast. | |
| When you look at this, I didn't even know that this was planned, but Hillary Clinton has canceled the fireworks display tomorrow night. | |
| Apparently Hillary was going to set off a two-minute firework display between 9 and 10 p.m. tomorrow night out there in the Hudson River, right across from the Javitt Center where her massive rally tomorrow night's going to be held is a two-minute fireworks display. | |
| And TMZ says that she's called it off. | |
| They don't know why. | |
| Nobody knows why. | |
| Called it off. | |
| Anyway, folks, great to have you here. | |
| It is still fluid. | |
| It is still hopping. | |
| And let me tell you something, uh, folks, the effort I I've been wrong about something. | |
| And I I'm pretty sure I'm wrong about it, and I want to clear it up. | |
| I've been right about it in the past, but what I think I'm wrong about, I have been telling you that as we neared the election, the polls would change to more accurately reflect what the polling units actually think is going to happen. | |
| But and and they've they've not done that. | |
| They continue. | |
| The major polls that everybody talks about, NBC, ABC, New York Times, Wall Street Journal, Monmouth, you name it, all show Hillary Clinton anywhere up from three to five points. | |
| Now, in every case, the Hillary win is within the margin of error. | |
| They don't make a big point of telling you that. | |
| My point is I think the polls are still being used as weapons. | |
| And that's a departure from my previously stated theories and beliefs. | |
| And I finally asked myself, I mean, if we don't trust the news every day from these people, why would we trust their polls? | |
| But then that that gets into another discussion about, well, you at some point you have to, because in so many elections in the past, a number of polls have been right, but some have been dramatically wrong as well. | |
| The thing is, the purpose of all of this today in the drive-by media is to try to convince you it's over. | |
| The objective is to tampen, dampen down Trump's support and turn out of the polls. | |
| So much of this election has not gone the way the Hillary camp projected or wants it to go. | |
| And if you take a look at where Hillary and Trump are today, it just I mean, why in the world is Hillary going to all of these blue states that she should have locked down? | |
| She's even going to North Carolina late tonight for a rally. | |
| if she can stay up that late. | |
| I mean, it's North Carolina, Wisconsin, Michigan. | |
| They're giving Iowa to Trump. | |
| Trump's up seven in the final Des Moines Register poll there. | |
| The early voting has not turned out to be what everybody expected it to be. | |
| You might be hearing that early voting is putting Hillary over the top because of a late breaking turnout of Hispanic voters. | |
| Excuse me, and that's assumed to mean it's pro-Hillary because it's assumed that every Hispanic hates Trump because of what he said the day he announced his campaign. | |
| But notice all of the assumptions that pardon me, wrong button. | |
| Notice all the assumptions being made. | |
| And I still think that we are at a stage where nobody really knows. | |
| Folks, I I'm sorry, I I'm I'm I'm succumbing to something else too. | |
| You look at the size of these Trump rallies in Minnesota. | |
| One of the power line guys is reporting he was out driving around yesterday, and maybe on the way to church, I forget exactly the specific reason he was out, but he encountered a line of human beings a mile and a half long to get into a Trump rally. | |
| He encountered a parking lot that had never existed before where all of the cars that brought those people to the Trump rally. | |
| And it's this way everywhere Trump is going. | |
| The crowds are massive. | |
| They are lining up for hours to get in. | |
| Meanwhile, Joe Biden is drawing 200 people in Pennsylvania. | |
| Tim Kane is drawing 30, 35 people wherever he goes. | |
| Hillary Clinton's drawing 10,000 people, but she needs Jay-Z and Beyoncé and very little clothing in order to get that 10,000. | |
| She got Springsteen going to Philadelphia tonight. | |
| Why, why in the world? | |
| Why wasn't Jay-Z and Beyonce and Hillary in Philadelphia on Friday night? | |
| Why wasn't that enough? | |
| Springsteen's going in there tonight. | |
| What's Springsteen going to tell them? | |
| What in the world is Springsteen going to sing? | |
| Hey, keep voting Hillary, and maybe you can keep living in your parents' house while maybe they can continue to afford Obamacare as the price is skyrocket because you sure as hell can't afford it. | |
| What's Springsteen's message gonna be? | |
| Well, we know what it's gonna be. | |
| It's gonna be that Trump's a reprobate and so forth. | |
| Now, yesterday afternoon, I, your beloved host was on the golf course. | |
| And we were just finishing up on 17. | |
| We were walking from the 17th Green on the way to the 18th T. And my phone beeped, and I had an alert from my brother. | |
| So I looked at it, and that is when I learned that Comey had just announced that there was nothing new to see in any of these massive numbers of new emails that they had found on Carlos Danger's laptop. | |
| And so it was a big to do about nothing, nothing's changed. | |
| Hillary won't be charged, nothing is popped up, we didn't find anything new. | |
| And so we walk on to the 18th T, and I was so ticked off, I bombed one of the longest drives of the day. | |
| As we golfers say there was a lot of red ass in the swing. | |
| Meaning I was ticked off. | |
| And then I got to thinking, and I remembered this from way back on October 28th, when Comey announced that they were going to take a look, that they had found some emails on the Carlos Danger laptop that made them reopen the investigation. | |
| And I said this. | |
| The cynical view is that Comey is still carrying water for Clinton and is trying to get everybody to stop paying attention on the WikiLeaks dump because it's starting to have an impact. | |
| So you announce you're opening the inquiry. | |
| Get everybody all hot and bothered and focused on it. | |
| And then after three or four, five days announced that it was a false alarm. | |
| Nothing to see here. | |
| Investigation now officially over. | |
| And meanwhile, in that five-day period, everybody's forgotten about WikiLeaks. | |
| That is the cynical view of this. | |
| And everybody out there was falling all over themselves to credit me with that, even though that view was presented to me in an email from a friend of mine who is a devout cynic, and I shared his belief, his theory, and made no bones about the fact that it was him and that he was a cynic and that therefore this is the cynic's view. | |
| Nothing is real, everything's faked, everything's organized, everything is scripted, everything's choreographed, and this was the latest. | |
| Well, anyway, when I made that uh known, everybody out there in the conservative blogosphere and the drive-by media tried to attach that view to me on the basis that it was nothing more than this ragtag conspiracy type thing. | |
| Now it's happened. | |
| You should see the amber of emails I got when I got home from the golf course yesterday. | |
| Man, oh man, Rush, did you call this? | |
| I'm never gonna doubt you ever again. | |
| It's amazing. | |
| It's amazing. | |
| You called it exactly what you said Comey was gonna do, he did, except he waited. | |
| I originally said, tell you how I phrased it to you. | |
| The first opportunity we had to discuss Comey announcing the investigation was reopened. | |
| That was on a Friday. | |
| It was Friday afternoon, it was like in the 3 o'clock or the 2 p.m. hour, the last hour of the program. | |
| Is there a problem in there? | |
| Okay, I'm being distracted just as the slight bit. | |
| Technical thing. | |
| Anyway, so it's in the last hour in the three o'clock hour, Comey makes his announcement. | |
| And I asked people, how are you gonna feel? | |
| I just want you to think about something. | |
| How are you gonna feel if next Wednesday or Thursday, Comey comes out and says, hey, there's nothing new here? | |
| We didn't find anything. | |
| How are you gonna feel? | |
| You're gonna feel led down because you think there's no way he'd reopen this if there weren't something serious. | |
| How many people said that? | |
| There's no way Comey would do this. | |
| He's not going to stick his neck out like that. | |
| He would no way would announce this unless there really was something of a bombshell nature. | |
| Everybody thought that. | |
| And I, L. Rushbow, asked you to pause and ponder how you would feel if in the middle of the next week, say Wednesday or Thursday, that would be last week, that Comey came out and said, hey, we looked at it, there's nothing here. | |
| Well, that happened yesterday. | |
| So I've got all these people sending me emails last night. | |
| Man, oh man, and messages. | |
| Did you call it? | |
| Well, yeah, I don't know, folks, if I called it it was the cynical view that I always played it out to be, but I wasn't surprised. | |
| I'll just tell you this. | |
| Well, this is the only this is, I know this is the only place that that possibility was explored. | |
| This is the only place in media where that view, that quasi prediction, was even addressed. | |
| Everybody else bought it, hook, line, and sinker. | |
| Well, I say everybody else. | |
| There could be some stragglers out there. | |
| We can't know what everybody out there says about things, Mr. Snertley, but this clearly was the origination of that line of thing. | |
| And boy, I was taking my share of heat for it, as though I had descended into the tin foil hat club. | |
| And now it's happened. | |
| And how did you feel when you found out about it yesterday? | |
| Were you for were you shocked? | |
| I wasn't shocked. | |
| I was surprised by the timing. | |
| I thought once we get got past Wednesday or Thursday that such an announcement wasn't going to be made. | |
| So I was shocked. | |
| I was not shocked that it happened. | |
| Not at all. | |
| I'm being honest with you. | |
| I'm not surprised. | |
| Folks, you want to hear another cynical view? | |
| I'm gonna I'm gonna appropriate so I'm gonna modify just a little bit something that Julian Assange said in an interview that aired with him or didn't air, it was it was on the web somewhere Saturday night. | |
| Julian Assange said in his mind that there's no way that Trump can win because the entirety of the establishment is not on his side. | |
| He doesn't have one element of the establishment on his side. | |
| And Assange, given his experiences, took that to mean that the establishment, this were his words, will not allow Trump to win. | |
| And the theory is that the establishment controls everything. | |
| You've got and hit it's interesting to listen to somebody like Assange list who he thinks the establishment is. | |
| The number one membership in the establishment was arms manufacturers. | |
| And then arms dealers, and then banks, and then unions, and he went down the list, and he pretty much nailed it. | |
| And it's when you if you look at things that way, if the establishment is that all powerful, and if if if they do represent the most powerful interests of every important political realm, then it's a logical question to ask, how in the world would they allow Trump to win? | |
| But the fact is, and we're seeing the evidence play out on TV, they know they actually don't control that. | |
| There is palpable fear today on the side of the establishment over this outcome tomorrow. | |
| Do you know that there is even a group that is planning on publicizing exit polls all during the day tomorrow, starting at 8 a.m.? | |
| Now, why would anybody want to do that? | |
| Why would anybody want to start broadcasting exit poll data? | |
| I mean, the traditional release times for exit polling data, the the the ones that really have any substance are 2 p.m. and 5 p.m. | |
| There may be an 11 a.m. to 12 noon. | |
| These are Eastern times. | |
| But the 2 p.m. and 5 p.m. exit poll Waves are the ones that people look at, and they have been dramatically wrong in recent elections. | |
| Not 2012, but they were dramatically wrong in 2004. | |
| So they have been. | |
| So there's a group planning on doing that. | |
| Here's the UK Daily Mail. | |
| That sinking feeling. | |
| Clinton has lost her lock on the 270 electoral college votes needed for victory as Ohio, Utah, and part of Maine moved to Trump. | |
| And there's a lot of concurrence with this theory that Hillary has lost her lock on 270 electoral votes. | |
| Kellyanne Conway's out there saying we have six different ways that we, the Trumpsters, can get to 270. | |
| Hillary Clinton has dropped below the threshold of 270 electoral college votes needed to win the presidency. | |
| This according to CNN as well. | |
| Battleground states Ohio and Utah have shifted towards Trump, as has the second congressional district of Maine. | |
| New Hampshire has inched away from leaning Democrat, now classified as a battleground. | |
| Now they say that Clinton can now rely on 268 electoral votes. | |
| Trump can rely on 204. | |
| Nate Silver is out there. | |
| And he's getting into knockdown drag out fights with millennial. | |
| You know, this isn't, I keep saying things that remind me of other things I want to say that end up being interruptions and distractions. | |
| He's in he's in a knockdown drag out with a millennial reporter at the Huffing and Puffington Post. | |
| And this millennial reporter at the Huffing and Puffington Post is a classic example of modern day millennials who have come out of the uh American public education system and higher energy just don't know anything. | |
| Have you did you hear? | |
| Did you hear an uh I think it was another Huffing and Puffington Post writer or some similar organization were watching the World Series. | |
| And they tweeted that somebody was showing the KKK sign in the World Series. | |
| Mediaite. | |
| Oh, that's right. | |
| It was a guy named Josh Feldman at MediaIt, and he was outraged that the KKK was at the World Series and that they were showing their sign. | |
| And that nobody was mad about it. | |
| Everybody was applauding, and he was beside himself, and somebody had taken him aside. | |
| Hey, Josh, old buddy O'Pell, you may want to go talk to the guys of the Harvard soccer team and get the lowdown on what is here because a strikeout in baseball is represented by a K. And as a pitcher gets a strikeout, fans put up another K, another sign with a K on it. | |
| And at the time, the pitcher had three strikeouts. | |
| There were three Ks up there. | |
| He had no clue. | |
| A guy had no clue about how baseball, the former and close to being national pastime, operates. | |
| A product of the American educational system, and clueless. | |
| And not only clueless about that, but sees three signs with Ks on, and what is he zero in it? | |
| What does it mean to him? | |
| Ku Klux Klan. | |
| How does that happen? | |
| That's the result of teaching, education, and conditioning. | |
| And Twitter just came down on this poor guy like the doofus that he apparently is about about this. | |
| Okay, hang in there. | |
| I said first obscene profit break is honest, but there's much more straight ahead, so you stay where you are. | |
| We're coming right back. | |
| Let's look at Florida, by the way. | |
| Democrats, this is a political story. | |
| Democrats widen lead over GOP in Florida early votes, but X factor obscures whether Clinton has a firm lead over Trump. | |
| So why run this story? | |
| Democrats widen lead over GOP in Florida early votes, but X factor means they don't know. | |
| But something we don't know obscures whether Clinton has a firm lead over Trump. | |
| The sheer number of new voters in independence makes it tougher than ever for experts to say whether Hillary Clinton has a clear advantage over Trump in Florida. | |
| Well, interestingly, Drudge has just posted what he says is an exclusive. | |
| The upshot of it is that in early voting, Donald Trump is outperforming Mitt Romney by 130,000 in early voting. | |
| Now, this has some double negatives in it, so bear with me. | |
| Data obtained by the Drudge Report shows Donald Trump outperforming Romney in 2012 in Florida. | |
| Romney went into Election Day, down 161,000 votes in absentee ballots and early voting, and he ended up losing the state by 74,000 votes. | |
| In a dramatic surprise twist, Trump is down only 32,500. | |
| Remember, Romney was down 161,000. | |
| Republicans tend to outvote Democrats on election day in Florida. | |
| And a late poll shows Trump nearing 50% in the shun shines in Florida. | |
| So the point here is that Trump is doing vastly better in early voting than Romney did, and that there is every reason to believe that people who vote on Election Day in Florida will vastly out the Republicans vastly outnumber Democrats. | |
| in play. | |
| In Florida, Obama won in 2012 in Florida by less than 1%. | |
| He had 0.9% of the votes. | |
| And there is much more activity in Florida this time around, and Trump uh is exciting Republican turnout far greater than uh that than Romney did. | |
| Now, let me run through these drudge numbers again because it's when you hear them, numbers being read to you can be confusing just by themselves. | |
| But this contains two bits of news that both seem to be negative, and yet Drudge is reporting this as positive. | |
| So let me break this down for you. | |
| Uh Drudge claiming that this is exclusive data that he has been given, and it shows Trump outperforming Mitt Romney in early voting and absentee voting. | |
| Romney, of course, in 2012. | |
| Romney went into Election Day, 2012, down 161,000 in absentee ballots and early voting. | |
| Now, I thought what that means is that 161,000 more votes that occurred for Obama than Romney in early voting and absentee. | |
| And when you tabulate the actual election day voting and add to it with the absentee and early voting, Romney ended up losing the state by 74,000 or about 1%. | |
| This time Trump is down 32,500. | |
| Now you might say, how can that be good news when Trump's down 32,500 votes in early voting? | |
| We're comparing it to Romney. | |
| Romney was down 161,000 four years ago. | |
| Trump is down 32,000. | |
| That means Trump has many, many thousands of votes more than Romney had at the same time in 2012. | |
| Then you add to that, and the polling data is in on this, the historical data too, on actual election day voting says that many more Republicans actually show up on Election Day than Democrats do. | |
| And if you add those things together, then what you end up with is a Trump win in Florida. | |
| That's that's the point of this. | |
| Now there's a CBS UGOV poll, and it is a poll of those who plan on voting on Election Day. | |
| This is why the Drudge number is interesting. | |
| In Ohio, a poll of people who plan on voting tomorrow. | |
| Trump 49, Clinton 41, that's plus eight among election day voters. | |
| In Florida, this is astounding. | |
| CBS poll among people who plan on voting on election day, Trump 51, Clinton 35. | |
| That is Trump plus 16 in a CBS poll of people that are going to vote tomorrow. | |
| So you take that poll and projection, and you measure it against what is known about the early voting and absentees, And you find out that Trump has much more support in the early voting and absentees than Romney ever did, even though he's still down 32,000 votes. | |
| If you add that increase over Romney to this poll, it shows a Trump win of Florida and uh probably a Trump win in Ohio. | |
| You take a look at where the Clinton campaign is going. | |
| They're going to states that they should have locked up. | |
| In fact, folks, I would venture to say that if Clinton had this locked up, she wouldn't be anywhere today. | |
| Surrogates would be everywhere. | |
| As many places as they could go. | |
| But I would dare say, even if they thought they were winning and winning big, they wouldn't waste a whole lot of time and money in a whole lot of different state, particularly blue states. | |
| What they would be doing is what they told us they were doing last week and the week before. | |
| They would be heading into red states, trying to win the down ballot races. | |
| The House, the Senate, the dog catcher offices, and that kind of thing. | |
| They would be going for a clean sweep landslide. | |
| If they thought they had the White House wrapped up, Hillary wouldn't be anywhere. | |
| She doesn't have the stamina or the energy, and they would have surrogates in red states. | |
| That's not the case. | |
| Now people ask me, as I'm sure people ask you, what do you think is going to happen? | |
| What do you really think? | |
| People assume, and I don't blame them. | |
| People assume that I might hold beliefs different from what I would publicly pronounce here. | |
| People will take me aside and say, tell me what you really think. | |
| I said, What do you mean? | |
| Well, for example, if you think Trump's gonna lose big, I know you would never say that on the radio because you just you wouldn't want to be a downer. | |
| No, you're wrong. | |
| If I if I actually thought that I would tell you, uh my audience, the uh relationship I have the audience is everything to me. | |
| Uh I I wouldn't purposely mislead. | |
| You wouldn't, you wouldn't hedge anything just to make sure they don't get depressed. | |
| No, if I really thought it was Hillary blowout, you know, why play games with it? | |
| Um I'm not holding anything back is the point. | |
| I don't, folks, I'm like everybody. | |
| I really don't know. | |
| And I could I could go through my thought process with you. | |
| I could tell you what I think of the pros and the cons. | |
| But I don't know how much weight to give each pro and each con. | |
| I'll tell you the main thing I just I'm having trouble getting past, and I'm fighting this because we are constantly told you cannot judge things by what you see. | |
| But I'm telling you the sheer numbers of people that are going through a lot of inconvenience to see Donald Trump. | |
| I haven't seen this in a long time in politics. | |
| And it's been this way since he entered the race. | |
| It's not something that's just popped up in the last three or to four weeks. | |
| It has intensified in the last three to four weeks, but it's always been there. | |
| To go to a Trump rally is an all-day or in many cases all-night thing. | |
| You don't just decide if you live in town where Trump's gonna be to get in a car and bop over there, because there are going to be so many people you have to leave early, you're gonna end up parking not very close to the venue. | |
| You're gonna have to do a lot of walking through whatever weather there is, and you're gonna have to get there an hour and a half to two hours before the rally even begins, before Trump even begins. | |
| And then you've got to stay there during the rally, get all excited and helped up, and then it's over, and then the same process begins getting out of there. | |
| You've got tens of thousands of people leaving, many of them on foot, clogging up the streets. | |
| If it's an all-day thing or a multiple-hour thing, it's not just like picking up kids and going to the store for a couple of things and going back home. | |
| And when you see lines of people a mile long in places like Minnesota, when you see at practically every airport hangar where Trump does a rally, I mean, every place you see the pictures of all of these venues, whether he goes to a town of six thousand people, which he does, whether he goes to a town of a couple of million, whatever, it is jam packed. | |
| It is easily ten thousand or more. | |
| Then the drive bys don't report it or try to tell you that the pictures you're looking at are panorama shots, and they vastly distort everything and they make it look much bigger than it is. | |
| And they tell you Trump's lying about the number of people. | |
| They're in the arena, but they don't show you. | |
| But I don't think it is deniable that reams of people, gobs of people are showing up at these Trump rallies. | |
| And they know what they're going to get. | |
| It's not as though they're showing up for drama and surprise and shock. | |
| They know what they're gonna get. | |
| They just want to get there and they want to be there. | |
| And they want everybody to know they were there. | |
| They want to make these events huge. | |
| They want everybody, they want to be part of making everybody see how big this is. | |
| And then I look at the same circumstances over on the Hillary side, and you don't see any of that. | |
| You even when she does draw a crowd, there isn't any real energy to it, and she has to have other people in order to draw that crowd. | |
| She needs Beyonce, she needs Jay-Z, she needs limited clothing on Beyoncé. | |
| She needs uh other people to help her draw people out, and it's just not a big deal anyway when she does. | |
| She's not exciting. | |
| She's not anything anybody particularly cares to want to see. | |
| This is not new. | |
| She did a book, nobody showed up at her book signings. | |
| I mean, the woman just doesn't engender any kind of excitement whatsoever. | |
| Now we know that she's gonna get tons and tons of votes. | |
| This is where you start getting the other side of this. | |
| We know, for example, that she could have literally zero personal excitement and enthusiasm for her in New York and California, and she's gonna win every one of those electoral votes. | |
| She would never have to go there even to get those electoral votes. | |
| So just the makeup of our demography and population with the numbers of people who just automatically vote for anybody with a D next to their name on the ballot, that's a huge obstacle. | |
| And it has nothing to do with how much enthusiasm there is for Trump or not for Hillary. | |
| Tim Kane's not drawing crowd. | |
| Biden had a crowd of 200 the other day. | |
| You know, I keep reading things like this. | |
| And it's it's on both sides. | |
| You can read the Never Trumpers, you can read Republicans who don't like Trump, and you can hear them say that if John Kasich were on the ballot, he would be leading Hillary by 10 points. | |
| And there literally is no evidence for this, but it's out there. | |
| Or they'll say if Jeb Bush were on the ballot or of John, anybody but Trump, Hillary is such a bad candidate, they say. | |
| She's got high negatives, any serious candidate would be beating her by ten. | |
| Well, you know, that's a whole bunch of what ifs thrown in. | |
| These guys they're talking about would be up over Hillary by 10, couldn't even win the Republican nomination. | |
| Who's to say that if Kasich or one of these other guys got the nomination that there would be any excitement on the Republican side for that nominee? | |
| submit to you, there wouldn't be any. | |
| And then on the other end of the spectrum, there are people who say on the Democrat side, they're not happy with Hillary, some of the Bernie people, Yeah, if Biden were the nominee, might he'd be cream and it'd be a Lynch let it be over if Biden were the nominee. | |
| Really? | |
| I how do these people think? | |
| How do they arrive at these kinds of things? | |
| All these what ifs? | |
| I mean, Joe Biden hasn't ever won. | |
| He hadn't won a primary, he's never been in a presidential. | |
| Where is the assumption that Joe Biden would be leading Trump by 10? | |
| These are the games that media and establishment types play with all of us. | |
| By the same token, John Kasich would be leading Hillary by 10, or any other establishment Republican would be leading Hillary by 10. | |
| Where? | |
| Where is that written? | |
| Mitt Romney wasn't gonna beat Obama. | |
| How is Mitt Romney gonna beat Hillary Clinton? | |
| How is Casey gonna, If Casey could not get the Republican nomination, how in the world could Kasich beat Hillary Clinton? | |
| I'm sure some of these people have got their scientific data and analysis to shape to share that show that that would be possible. | |
| It's all it's all gobbledygook to me. | |
| You know, we've got the nominees we've got. | |
| We have the evidence we have, and that's all we have to go on. | |
| The polling data, when you look at it, well, look at the LA Times poll today. | |
| Trump's biggest lead ever in the LA Times poll today. | |
| And in the same LA Times, there are a couple of reporters that have nothing to do with the poll that are writing that Hillary's going to win with 350 electoral votes. | |
| So in the LA Times, you have their poll that shows Trump leading by eight, biggest lead ever, and then somewhere else in the paper, a couple of guys doing their own analysis, give it Hillary 350 electoral votes. | |
| What are we to do with this? | |
| We got all five of the big polls out today, Hillary plus three, Hillary plus five. | |
| But if you look at the internals of many of these polls, you find things that don't make any sense, even including in the Fox poll. | |
| I'll give you some details here in a second. | |
| I'm running short on time. | |
| And each one of these polls that show Hillary up three or up five, they don't tell you that's all within the margin of error. | |
| I've always believed you can figure out what's really going on by watching where the candidates go. | |
| And Hillary being in blue states today. | |
| Uh that does not say landslide to me. | |
| But it could, you know, it could, folks, it could. | |
| This is the thing. | |
| It could mean that Hillary is they they already think they're winning big, and they're going in there for the biggest, biggest landslide they've ever had, and they figure the best way to get it is to turn out the vote in already blue states by drumming it up to turn out even more. | |
| It could be any number of explanations for these things. | |
| We just don't know. | |
| But I'm having a tough time ignoring all this enthusiasm for Trump and the lack of enthusiasm for her and the Democrats. | |
| And I couple that with the sorrowful state that our economy is in and Obamacare. | |
| And there's no reason there should be enthusiasm. | |
| Common sense, no reason to be enthusiastic about the Democrats in Missouri. | |
| None. | |
| By the way, a caveat on this this early voting. | |
| The only way anybody knows is party ID. | |
| When it when it says here that there are 32,500 more Democrats have voted early voting in Florida and that they've all voted Hillary. | |
| We don't know that. | |
| We just know that party ID, we don't know how many Democrats actually voted for Trump. | |
| We don't know how many Republicans voted for Hillary. | |
| All we have is party ID. | |
| So it it's it's incomplete data. | |
| We'll take it. | |
| I mean, it's the day before the election. | |
| Here's uh here's Mark in Sarasota, a massive Trump rally there today. | |
| How are you doing, Mark? | |
| How are you doing, sir? | |
| Good, thank you. | |
| Honored to be on your program, and I'll just say I've been a fan since late 80s when I used to sit in the lifeguard stand and debate with uh some liberal uh types uh and I think. | |
| See, this is this guy has been here for 28 years, folks, and I that most everybody in this audience has, and I cannot tell you how I am dazzled and and by that appreciate that. | |
| And I cannot express it. | |
| It's it's overwhelming to me. | |
| But tell me about the rally, Mark, because you were there, and I've got some sound bites coming up from it. | |
| Apparently it was huge. | |
| Yes, it was. | |
| Uh there was that uh local arena called Robarts Arena. | |
| It was jam-packed, standing room only, and then overflow outside with speakers outside, the whole atmosphere was kind of a very positive festive atmosphere. | |
| Everybody's getting along. | |
| Um, you know, people were lined up for blocks to get in, just as you were mentioning earlier and parking everywhere, but everything went well. | |
| I'm uh just retired as a law enforcement officer, and and uh, you know, of course, got to see how the everything was working well with the crowd and traffic and everything, everybody was very asking a quick question. | |
| How long has this rally been scheduled? | |
| How long have you known Trump was gonna be in Sarasota today? | |
| I think it's uh I've just learned about it two days ago, so it's very quickly all of a sudden it came up. | |
| This is a it's a point that I wanted to make. | |
| Some of these Trump rallies are announced five and six hours before they happen, and they still draw, I don't know about Sarasota, but some of these rallies are put together on the fly five or six hours in advance, and they still draw 10,000 people and long lines like this. | |
| We have a bunch of sound bites from this Trump rally, and I haven't heard them yet. | |
| I'm told they're they're they're gangbuster. | |
| We will get to those in due course. | |
| But we have another brief timeout, so hang on, folks. | |
| Yeah, look, we have a call up from um Tennessee. | |
| What does your gut instinct tell you tomorrow's outcome is gonna be? | |
| Folks, I don't know. | |
| I don't know. | |
| I I don't know whether to tell you, I don't know whether I have one. | |
| I don't know whether I've got a gut instinct. | |
| I can't separate that from my hopes and and my desires. | |
| But I'll try. | |
| I'll try. | |
| Anyway, we have lots of stuff to handle here. |
