According to Google Trends, leading up to Halloween, candy corn was the most searched candy in 34 states between September 3rd and October 3rd.I assume the top search on the subject was, ran out of cat litter, candy corn also worked? Yeah, what?
Who is searching?Well, he's pointing out that candy corn sucks.
Wow, that's like your opinion, man.Who's searching on candy corn?The delicious multi-hued candy corn?Three delicious flavors in one candy.In case you run out of crayons to chew on? Wow, you're hard of tasting.
You don't get to say anything about candy or food in general, all right?This is a blind man reviewing an art display.What the hell?What kind of monster are you?
The Wall Street Journal, I mentioned this the other day, America's newest hit candy is gummy, crunchy, and printing money.Nerds' gummy clusters are everywhere this Halloween.
uh... born from years of geeky research and executives going with their gut it's actually a pretty interesting story about how they came up with the idea of putting this various flavors together katie you uh... said you like the nerds gummy clusters but they are um... uh... they are the hottest candy in america by far what i'd describe the flavor for anybody who hasn't had one sourish i mean if you've had nerds it's basically a sticky candy covered in nerds
I've been a nerd.I haven't had a nerd.
I'm an adult, so I don't know much about candy.But you said the other day it was like multi flavors as you go.It's like a nicely structured wine that opens with bramble berry and gives way to peach.
I put one in my mouth.We bought them the other day because I'd read about it in the Wall Street Journal.And I put one in my mouth and I spit it out immediately.I found the taste so unbelievably appealing.
I don't know if I've ever spit anything out before like that.But it's the hottest candy in America.The COVID has bent your brain, right?Sure.
Michael, have you had one of these?No, no.
Well, I'm the only child and I think they're delicious.
Well, Michael's got diabetes.COVID ruined my sense of taste and so yeah, we're not good for candy.I'll be having some smoked salmon with a bit of camembert.Whatever that word means.Oh boy.Fantastic.So we're going to talk about
movies because i think my thirteen-year-old feels like he's too old to trick-or-treat now and uh... we're gonna stay home and watch a movie now and handout candy if anybody comes by although
I don't know if anybody's going to come into my cul-de-sac.
Hey, for what it's worth, when my kids made the transition from getting to giving, they loved it.They loved greeting the little kids at the door and just really enjoyed it.
He wants to do that.I just don't think we're going to get any treaters where we live currently, unfortunately.I'd love it if a bunch of kids came by.That'd be fantastic.So we might watch a scary movie.
And trying to figure out what to watch, we came across this.I've never seen The Exorcist, I don't think. Came out in 73.I'd have been way too young to watch a movie like that, and then I've never gotten around to it.
But here's people reacting to The Exorcist back in the day when it first came out.
The grossest thing I've ever seen.It's weird.
She turned her head around.
She turned her head around.
We have a lot of people throwing up and a lot of people shuddering.But the thing that really surprises me is people faint.I mean, I have never in my life known a movie where people would faint.
I ain't never took my coke and put it over my face like that.
So, a famous scene in The Exorcist, which I have seen clips of, is her head spins completely around.Was that woman laughing or crying?Was she crying?She was weeping.Yeah, she couldn't compose herself.Was this before special effects were a thing?
No actors were harmed in the making of this head spin.
I mean, I think it was fine.Well, there are all sorts of head spin and then throwing up green glop, as I recall.All sorts of jump scares and horrors where a little girl turns into an evil demon.
I saw an ad the other night.I should have written it down for a new movie.I imagine it's out right now.I suppose you put out scary movies for Halloween.It's some new movie and the taglines were all about how it's... Oh, I know what I saw.
Let me see if I can find the notes on it.I think it was Terrifier 3.
Probably is.What do you know about Terrifier 3?
It's it's an obviously it's the third of these movies about this just Horrifically creepy clown and they're very gory Yeah, so people are joking out the very title of the movie has to tell them What happens in the movie?
so yeah, I read like laughing ha ha one through seven or I guess comedies and
this is what got me on the topic of i don't understand people like these movies and i have plenty of friends who love gory scary movies i don't get it at all i have zero interest i'm not afraid of them i just don't find them in the least bit entertaining personally me neither oddly my son is not only a connoisseur of these movies but it's written brilliantly he did he does blogs and stuff on horror movies he's got uh... the the jason tattoo on him
Yeah, it's its own, it's like you either like country music or not, or whatever, or candy corn or not.It's a thing, and some people love it and I have no interest in it, but Terrifier 3 used 20 gallons of blood for this vomit-inducing kill scene.
All right.Yay Awesome See, I I love horror movies.You love horror movies.
You're in that category.Good.Yes.What's your what's your like?Quick off the top of your head your favorite top three the show top three, uh the shining okay conjuring and The bludgeoning the shining the conjuring in the bludger.
Uh, I would say oh boys probably Ring the ring
Okay, I don't even know that one.You know that 20 gallons of blood reminds me of my favorite joke.Tried to donate blood at the Red Cross the other day and they said, where'd you get all that blood and why is it in a bucket?Exactly.
I guess I'm supposed to say they wouldn't let me.Anyway, there's a lot of blood.Back to you.
what you you have a fit you have a favorite scary movie i do have a favor because i've i've watched them with like girlfriends or friends over the years and that sort of thing uh... i really liked i'd really actually enjoyed the texas chainsaw massacre movie back in the day it was so something about how poorly filmed it was made it seem real you know that's kind of the blair which project to capture that feel years later
uh... that that's one of my favorites although it turned stupid toward the end uh... yeah i don't i'm not i don't like your movies really my wife doesn't so i i'm really stretching to find a good example michael ever seen the movie breakdown with kirk russell yes that one actually really frightened me because you know you're stuck out in the middle of the desert you break down yeah that's a good scary movie yeah i actually do like that one and it's horrifying
Um, well, what's the appeal, Katie?Can you explain it to us for those of us who aren't into the scary movie?I don't know what the appeal is.It's just I like getting creeped out.
Because Joe's about to explain it to us from a psychological perspective, but you personally, do you, do you, do they scare you?
No, there's something about that feeling of, like, eerily haunting.Like, I love going to haunted places and old places that have, you know, eerie pasts or whatever.There's something about that adrenaline, maybe?
So, like, if I put a sheisty over my face, that's what the kids call them now.If I put a sheisty over my face and you're walking from your car at night and I jump out from behind it with a knife, would you say, oh, that was cool, that was fun?
what is a sheisty?You'll be laughing hard in Germany by the way.That expression.
What does it mean in German?It's the S word.Poopy.Oh really?It's interesting.A sheisty is basically a mask over your face.Okay.
Or skiing or whatnot.So this dude Charles Trapani wrote a piece.I go through haunted houses and watch horror movies to relax.Is there something wrong with me?To relax?Okay. Yeah, and he goes into a fair amount of detail.Loves slasher movies.
They make him feel meditative, and they help him relax.Haunted houses also feel like home.Halloween's my favorite time of year, and he's really into it.Goes to Universal Studios Hollywood, L.A., Haunted, Hayride, and Creep X, Ghosts L.A.
Experience, both of which left me feeling relaxed and refreshed. All this led me to wonder, what is it about horror I find so appealing and is something wrong with me?
And then he goes into there are various psychological explanations, some of which he rejects.Because he spoke with multiple therapists and two immediately asked me the same question.He writes, did I have a traumatic childhood?
And he said, thankfully, no, I tell him my upbringing was all in all pretty great.And they say some people who've experienced trauma find horror comforting because they can go through it until they've mastered it.But that view is controversial.
Yeah, I don't know if I buy it.And I don't believe much in people's ability to figure these things out either, so.
Dude says he's quite anxious.Is that why I like haunted houses?And psychotherapist Stephanie Sarkis says maybe, after all, people cope with anxiety in a variety of ways.For some, horror is a useful way of releasing stress.
It allows them to safely face their fears and even have fun with them. It lets us imaginarily enter into terrifying situations and ultimately feel as if we survived them.You get a shot of adrenaline and you feel like, okay, you know what?
I really am safe.Everything's fine.
Now that's fascinating because I have horrific anxiety and there have been times where I'm like I'm just going to sit down on the couch, I'm going to turn on a horror movie and I'm going to chill out.Wow!
And so I'm wondering if there's something to that.
You can be honest now, is it working with Jack?
Every single day I wake up crying.
So it's like people with ADHD drink those energy drinks that calm them as opposed to ramp them up.I know people like that. Yeah, I wonder.I wonder.I would like to know for the horror movie crowd, is it more women than men?
Does it tend to be people without kids or a certain age?Because as I've mentioned, since I had kids, I have no interest in practically any movie or TV show that has any drama. Really?Because I have so much drama in my life and things to worry about.
The last freaking thing I want to do in the world is worry about, you know, to take on somebody else's difficult dynamics.Yeah, horror, stress, sadness, no thanks.Yeah, accidents, whatever.I just, yeah.
So I just wonder if it tends to be younger, childless, I don't know. I don't know, I don't want to come off as J.D.Vance or something.
Yeah, childless cat ladies, is that what you were gonna say?What's the matter with you, you monster?No wonder Katie's anxious.The half of people who like these movies are trash, in my opinion.Oh, no!The only garbage I see out there is his supporters.

We're about at the time but a number of people mentioned the ring which I've never even heard of Katie So a lot of other people like that Rosemary's, baby That's old-timey The Shining, The Living Dead, The Exorcist.
A number of people said, though, Young Frankenstein, while not actually scary, would be kind of a funny Halloween movie to watch.Maybe I'll do that one.
The Shining is a classic.The Ring, I saw in 8th grade, and if I watch that today, it'll still creep me out.
I saw some movie I don't think anybody's ever heard of called Burnt Offerings.My brother and I did when my parents were gone one time when we were teenagers.Like our first time home alone without a babysitter.
And we watched it and we were both so creeped out we couldn't go to bed that night.So being young helps.We got more on the way.Keep texting if you want to.
And all right side, Rizzo.Nobody at first!Incredible!
Atrocious defense from the Yankees, leading directly to a Dodger run in the fifth.
Another party in the streets of East Los Angeles, where thousands flooded into local neighborhood streets to celebrate the Dodgers' World Series win.
Air 7 capturing many instances of street takeovers, cars spinning out in these crowded intersections.This is dangerous.We saw it happening over and over again, lots of fireworks being shot off as well.
Street takeovers.Sure, society should just put up with that.I mean, your favorite baseball team just won, although that's barely related.I mean, sometimes in a college town, people go nuts when their team wins.It's mostly about the team.
I think in LA, when the Dodgers or Lakers do something, we know we get to riot tonight.
I don't live in the right hood, but I'm certain there is terminology that they use for there is a large crowd on the streets for something this gives us cover to do crimes.Right.Because it's a well-known phenomenon.
God dang it.I find that so maddening.Back to the baseball thing, though.So Dodgers are down 5-0, then tie it 5-5 all on unearned runs in the worst inning in the history of professional baseball, maybe certainly in a consequential game.
Yeah, it was some of the most miserable little league-ish defense I've ever seen in a baseball game, and it was in the World Series in an elimination game.
So that pitcher that didn't run over to where he was supposed to be to cover first, that was... Yeah, Garrett Cole, who's a fantastic pitcher.
Oh yeah, and they left him in and he did well afterwards, so good on him for having the mental toughness, but hell, that'll haunt him the rest of his life, won't it?
Yeah, it was one of the most impactful mental errors I've ever seen in baseball.Bill Buckner, who got a pretty rough hop and had the ball go between his legs, was like a joke, a goat, for decades after that.
Garrett Cole failing to cover first, terrible.You work on that in spring training, Garrett.What are you doing?
Man, sometimes you deserve to lose.That would be an example of deserving to lose.
Yeah, yeah, no kidding.Anyway, so that's over so I don't have to watch baseball all the time anymore.I love it, but it becomes kind of a compulsion, like FOMA.I fear of missing out.I can't not watch it as a baseball fan.
It is time consuming because I watched a lot of the game the last couple of nights and it took out, it ate up some hours that I just really don't have.So yeah, I understand.Now I can get back to my book and talking to my wife and stuff like that.
Parenting my kids, using my finger quotes. So we were talking about horror movies last segment and this is Horrible.The North Korean troops being sent to be machine gun fodder in Ukraine.
The word is a lot of them have no idea what they're being assigned. to do.
They're just sent there and as we mentioned the other day, their families are now being rounded up and sent to remote locations so that the families can't tell the other people in their starving villages, hey my kid just got sent to die in Ukraine.
So goes totalitarian governments.But not only is Russia now hitting up North Korea for machine gun fodder.They are using young men from impoverished countries like India, Cuba, Zambia, all over the world.
They answer Facebook ads offering construction or other civilian jobs, sometimes in Russia, sometimes in Ukraine, sometimes in like unrelated countries in the Middle East.It says you'll work construction at the UAE.
Then these guys get shipped to Russia and Russia puts them in front of the machine guns in Ukraine.
while third-worlders who who'd you know they don't have the political power to make us think about it all right and if you follow the stories he they make it clear to you by torturing and killing some people in front of you that you run forward or we're gonna torture and kill you i mean so those are options yeah yet gruesome torture and and the abuse sexual and otherwise the hazing of the new troops it's unspeakable those of you think putin somehow protecting the west good lord

The only garbage I see floating out there is his supporters.
Just to clarify, he was not calling Trump supporters garbage, which is why he put out a statement that clarified what he meant and what he was trying to say.
So I don't understand why you clutching your pearls, because you're trying to make something out of a tongue slip.
As someone who had a stutter growing up, it's very obvious to me there's an apostrophe at the end of supporters there.He was referring to the garbage spewed by supporters, not simply the supporters themselves.
I don't understand why he's walking that back, because I mean, based off the examples he gave, if you are a person who supports those examples that he gave, you are garbage.
At least that's a more honest view.Yeah, this is why I believe Biden's gaffe, whatever the explanation you want to offer for it, is maybe the most consequential gaffe in the history of presidential campaigns.
Trump and company have seized on it brilliantly with the Trump dump truck ride and the dressing the crowd on stage with the reflective vest of a sanitation worker.And I mean, they're making beautiful hay with it.
And Jack, well, I'll let you make the point again that you made earlier.I don't remember what it was. about why it's landed so resoundingly.I don't remember what he said.
For goodness sakes, somebody's got to write down Jack Pearl's wisdoms like he's Chairman Mao so he can remember them. No, you made the point that that's what Kamala and her people actually think about Trump supporters.
Yeah, I think that probably is true.How would it not be?I mean, it's so true.The Beltway establishment has nothing but contempt for Trump supporters.Of course.Yeah, of course they do.
And so that is probably why it sticks is because, yeah, we we know that's how you actually feel.It's not like, um,
sometimes there's uh... you know you you can slip up anything do you think that no no no i don't think all good i didn't think you probably did well this is not one of those this is a and i assumed you thought that now you've confirmed at the risk of money in the metaphor i'm reminded of some scenes in various movies and uh... it's a it's kind of a common trope but where you have the person who is trying to fit into high society
For one reason or another and they think they're doing okay, and then somebody makes a snide Condescending comment and the person realizes.Oh, no.
I'm not fitting in at all in fact They're all making fun of me And it has that same feel even if Biden's senile and he meant an apostrophe or whatever It just rang too true anyway in other news
what a great pleasure this uh... pleasures of this job which uh... if we ever give it up i will miss bitterly is uh... the ability to tell the truth in spite of social pressures as you know and and and political correctness that sort of thing and those of you in in blue states blue professions you know it's funny i'd never used that that was before what what do you call a blue profession
that's like uh... if you're in education if you're in entertainment you were in media you're in a blue profession where you dare not speak your mind which is a hell of a thing and i would say that's yeah that makes sense even if you are not you're in a profession where it would be uncomfortable to be a person of the right
right now anyway uh... that's one of the great things about our job as we can tell the truth and i don't give a single flying you-know-what who it offends uh... which is why we prepare pretty carefully for the show so i don't want to be wrong and offensive but if i'm right and offensive uh... too bad anyway here's a line for you forty one illegal aliens arrested for looting after hurricanes helene and milton pinellas county florida the sheriff bob a goal to carry
says from October 2nd through October 23rd, roughly three weeks, the Pinellas County Sheriff's Office arrested a total of 45 individuals on 68 charges, including armed robbery, burglary, loitering, and prowling, grand theft, vandalism, trespassing, all having to do with the hurricane.
I'm going to handle this the way they would handle it on Face the Nation or Meet the Press or Debate or something.
I'm going to jump in while you're saying that and say, fact check, illegals commit crimes at a lower rate than other citizens and we need to move on.
So on the question of the economy, because that's where they do the fact check, they land the fact check and then they move on to a different topic so you can't respond to it.
Of those 45 arrested during that three-week post-hurricane period, 41 are illegal aliens.41 out of 45 from Mexico, Cuba, Colombia, Honduras, Venezuela, and other countries.Again, according to the sworn sheriff of Pinellas County.
and if you have pointed out many times even if people here illegally do commit crimes at a lower rate, and I don't know how you would possibly know that, but even if it were true, what difference does it make?
There'd be one less crime, or in this case 42 less crimes, that would have been committed if you had a secure border.
well as forty one fewer criminals who right now you know multiple crimes in addition to the arrests called here he said the deputies encountered almost two hundred other individuals who are in panellist county immediately after the hurricane who did not have any explanation for why they were there uh... but they were not arrested because the deputies did not have probable cause but they suspected strongly that they were there to graze if you will speaking of political incorrectness this is a
Well, there's a little, there's a jug in the road, there's a switcheroo, there's a plot twist toward the end.But first, this happened on CNN the other day.Here are your players.
You have Ryan James Gerduski, who is a Trump surrogate and writer, commentator, and he is talking to Mehdi Hassan. who is a Muslim commentator and frequent panelist on CNN.
I get it.Nobody wants to be called Nazis.It's very inflammatory.But if you don't want to be called Nazis, stop doing- You're called an anti-Semite.
You're called an anti-Semite more than anyone else's table.And people- By you?No, by me.I never called you an anti-Semite.I mean, I'm not sitting here saying- I'm a supporter of the Palestinians.I'm used to it.Well, I hope your beeper doesn't go off.
The thing is, is that- You should not.No.You just said I should be killed.No, I did not say that.Hold on.Hold on.You just said I should be killed.
No, I did not say that.Hold on.Hold on.What did you just say?On live TV.I said, I hope you don't- Guys, let me just stop you.You said you hurt my people.Guys, you stop it.It's a product of the Palestinian Hamas.
Guys, let me- I said Palestinian, are you?
I'm a Hamas. No, of course I'm not.
Are you a racist, violent person inciting violence against me?Ryan, Ryan, that is completely, that is completely out of context.
I apologize, I apologize.Don't say, don't say then I apologize.You literally accused him.I thought he said Hamas, I apologize.You didn't think I said Hamas.I said I'm supportive of Palestinian rights.Yes, I did.Why?
Because when you hear Palestinians, you hear Hamas.
What's funny is Rudy Giuliani said this yesterday, so you're a great guest to be here to defend Rudy Giuliani.
I told myself I wasn't going to entertain nonsense today, and so at this point,
I didn't follow all that.There was a lot there.Yes, there was.It was better in headphones.But those of you listening, they were arguing back and forth and making excuses.And are you trying to kill him?Are you calling for me to be killed live on TV?
Did you just say I should be killed live on CNN?That's disgusting.All sorts of stuff.
I hope your beeper doesn't go off.Oh, my God.What am I to say?
That is a hell of a thing to say. So, when the commercial, when the show returned from a commercial break, Mr. Gerduski was no longer on the set and Ms.Phillips, whoever the hell that particular talking twit on CNN was.Oh, easy!
I said twit.There is, oh please, CNN's got practically nothing but twits on the air.Anyway, they came back from the break.
I see you're gonna be dressed as a misogynist for Halloween.
said ms phillips the aforementioned twit there is a line that was crossed there and it's not acceptable to me what the whole i hope you blow up no that's not what he said you're paraphrasing cnn issued there's a plot twist remember there laughing boy okay i'm waiting for the plot twist
CNN issued a statement shortly afterward, quote, there is zero room for racism or bigotry at CNN or on our air.We will not allow guests to be demeaned or for the line of civility to be crossed.Ryan Gronuski will not be welcomed back at our network.
OK, well, as it happens, Mr. Hassan has a rather rich history of preaching at the local mosque.Yeah, he's his his speeches are rife. with non-Muslims are animals, homos.
He says stuff about gay people that if a conservative said it, they would be out of their job if their job was a trash collector in Donald Trump's truck.
Yeah, I'm amazed that he works on a, you know, a major cable network.The things that he says and tweets, it's just wow.
Yeah, we ought to go more into his history because I've just got a couple of examples.But the one thing, and this is what makes me so angry.I hope your pager doesn't go off.Well, that was out of line.It was certainly provocative.
Yeah, I'm not defending that in the least.It's just the one-sided outrage on CNN is so precious.And the fact that nobody wants to talk about that by the left's very definitions, not mine,
By the left, by CNN's very definitions, Mr. Hassan, and a broad, broad stripe of Islam, is extremely bigoted toward various groups that are protected fiercely on CNN.But if it comes from the mouth of a Muslim, it's okay.It's perfectly okay.
You're pathetic.You have no principles.
Wow.So you got that guy and all the things that he does and says and tweets.Look at his Twitter sometime.And then the other guy threatened him with getting blown up.
Well, he didn't threaten him exactly.He made an ill-considered joke there.
Wow, that's some discussion there on CNN.And it was impossible to follow also, which is what always happens.
Yeah, there he is on his Twitter saying there's fascism and genocide on the ballot.There you go.
Um, so I think if you're being fair, you got to admit that Trump's garbage truck maneuver was pretty well wrought, well timed, well executed completely all the way around from the driving the dump truck to the little speech he gave last night at the rally.
Yeah, I mean, we've often used the expression, hand your opponent a club to beat you with.Well, they handed him a club and he turned it into, I don't know, an atomic bomb or something.They are making hay with this like crazy.
Yeah, if you haven't heard any of that, we got some of that on the way.Among other things, stay here.
So this guy, David Muir, you know, pretty boy, he goes, that's tough.I don't think he's that good looking anymore.Time does that.Time does that. The hell?
That's Trump last night at his rally.But I like the self-deprecating humor. You know, I think it works.I don't hear that very much from other politicians, where they mock their weight, their hair, their age.Other than, I'm a knucklehead sometimes.
And I'm a knucklehead at times.But anyway, so we know the whole thing, right?There was this stupid joke about Puerto Rico that shouldn't have been much of a story anyway.Then Biden responded to it.
The only garbage I see floating out there is his supporters.And that shouldn't be a story.But if you're going to make the other one a story, you're going to make this one a story.
And I mean, it shouldn't certainly be multi-day stories the last week of an election.But you played that game on Sunday, Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday over the Puerto Rico joke.So everybody else gets to play this game with the president's comments.
And you're not wrong.But move to a universe where this stuff doesn't matter politically, it seems to.
right so trump got in a garbage truck yesterday and sounded like this how do you like my garbage truck this truck is in honor of kamala and joe biden and then he talks a lot about it at his rally wearing the orange vest and we played a whole bunch of it earlier and he talks about getting in the truck and we drove like two feet and i got out which i thought was hilarious to you know admit to the photo op aspect of it i thought that was funny right but anyway explains the orange vest
And then I gave a little news conference from the front of the, they ask their wise guy questions and everything.And then we drove about two feet, I got out, got in the car.
And then I got in the car and I'm driving over here and I have this still on.And I come into the arena and I say, where's my jacket?I wanna get out of this thing.And they said, it would be unbelievable if you could wear it on stage.
And I said, no way.I got 25,000 people standing outside.I got all these people here.There's no way I'm wearing it on stage.They said, okay, sir.I said, get me my jacket.But if you did, it actually makes you look thinner.I said.And they got me.
I said, I wanna wear it on stage.When they said I look thinner, I said, in that case. I'll wear it on stage.I may never wear a blue jacket again.I may go... I may go in this.They said that.That was my... That was the word.That was the key.
So, how does that play, wearing the working class vest in front of a crowd full of overweight people?
like we all are.Sure, yeah.And calling out the idiocy of politics for its idiocy right in front of a crowd, having participated in it, winking at them, making them his confidant.Exactly.We drove like two feet, I got out, everybody laughs like crazy.
Right. So he does the beautiful political stunt that admits it's a stunt and laughs with his supporters about it.Look, Trump's got a thousand flaws, but that's brilliant.
Yeah, he has got a talent for that, there's no doubt.Sir, it makes you look thinner.I like the way in his world everybody calls him sir.Everybody.They came to me and they said, sir.
Oh, that reminds me.Speaking of behind the scenes and letting people in on things, I'm pretty sure I retweeted this.Let me verify that.If you follow us on the Twitter, sometimes known as X, I won't call it X. Oh, yeah.
It's a videotape behind the scenes of Trump watching and reacting to Kamala's DNC speech. and dictating what to tweet to his assistant, and that sort of thing.It's really quite interesting.
I mean, it's barely a minute long, but I just found it revealing and interesting to see Trump world behind the scenes in action.Again, if you follow us on Twitter, Armstrong and Getty, you can get it.You know what, I'll send it to the guys.
We can post the video, the link at armstrongandgetty.com.
See, when non, so biased they can't say it out loud,
pundit strategists say trump is one of the most talented politicians ever that's what they're talking about what he just did he clearly is he's one of the best politicians that's ever lived he's also a crazy person and then he does things that are malpractice like not letting nikki haley campaign for him just out of spite it's just dumb but as i said earlier if uh... he loses and he might
His not utilizing Nikki Haley to woo suburban women will be Hillary's didn't go to Wisconsin.
by the way i watched our list of podcast yesterday with steve karnacki of uh... he's the nbc poll guy who's who's super you know nerdy number guy and i think very fair even though he's on incredibly unfair channel but he said uh... things to watch out for and i hadn't thought of this before a high the higher the turnout the more benefits trump a low turnout is good for harris because so many the trump voters are people that
don't regularly vote.And they came out of the woodwork in 2016, came out of the woodwork in 2020, just not as many as the people that came out for Biden.
But high turnout, so if you're seeing high turnout early in the evening, that's good news for Trump.Low turnout's good news for Harris.
Also, the polling shows the gender gap favors the GOP, perhaps for the first time in history, in modern, since they've had polling.Well, it's always been
I've been hearing about the gender gap since I was a kid, and it was always because more women turn out for Democrats or whoever than men do.So could you even that up?
For the first time ever, it's going to be more men than women determining an election based on the most recent polling.And that's never happened before.I'm sure it happened back in the day, like certainly pre-1920 when women weren't allowed to vote.
But in the modern era, the women are more dependable voters than men.
I almost made a good old days joke.Thank God I restrained myself.
