I Guess That Wall Isn't Such a Bad Idea After All
This is Jean Marie Laskis with the podcast Cement City. So, there's this election coming up, a big one, and one guy's been indicted. People are talking voter fraud. Democracy itself is online. Sound familiar? Well, this isn't that election. This one is in Denora, Pennsylvania, a dying town in the middle of nowhere, where I bought a house and stayed for three years.

Get us on the free Odyssey app, watch us on YouTube, and make sure you are following RealClearPA and RealClearPolitics on Twitter. We now call it X, and my buddy, Athan Kuzarumbas from RealClear, Pennsylvania, has a new column up with Donald Trump and his polling prospects here in Pennsylvania, and Athan is good enough to join us for a couple of minutes this morning. How you doing, buddy? Good to have you back on the show. Nick, it is great to be back. Good to have you. So tell us right now, what's the polling trend here with Trump in Pennsylvania that nobody is talking about that you've uncovered? You know, Nick, for the past couple of weeks, I've been hearing about coconuts and brat summer, and I got to be honest with you, I have no idea what coconuts are brat summer means, so I just figured, let me just dig into the polling and see what's really going on here in Pennsylvania. At this point eight years ago, Hillary Clinton led Pennsylvania polling by nine points, and at this point four years ago, Joe Biden led Pennsylvania polling by an average of nearly six points. Now, we all know Hillary Clinton lost Pennsylvania, Joe Biden won Pennsylvania, but heading into the convention last week, Donald Trump was actually leading polls in Pennsylvania, which is remarkable. And there's nobody talking about this trend. So I went further back in history and looked at some of the prior polling for presidential cycles here in PA. So back in 2016, there were 59 public polls released. President Trump only led in two of those 59 Pennsylvania polls. Then I looked at 2020. There were 84 public polls released in Pennsylvania. The president only led in five of them. Then I took a look at this cycle. There have been 17 public polls released so far. President Trump is winning 13 of them, Nick, 13 of the 17 polls that have come out this year. President Trump is winning. He's winning more polls this year than he did in the prior two presidential cycles combined, and nobody's talking about it. It's actually double. I mean, you think about it, two and five is seven. He's got 13 this time around. So again, 57 out of 59, favored Hillary in 16, 79 out of 84, favored Joe four years ago. And now Trump is leading in 13 of those 17. So what is Trump done to kind of upend the polling here in the Keystone state? Yeah, you know, that's the question for victory, right? What exactly is driving this? And what's confounding to me? And I think a lot of people that study this stuff is that it doesn't seem to be a single factor that is driving it. So I just, I kind of walk through one of the potential reasons for why this is happening. So one that people point too often is the effect of what are known as shy Trump voters, people who were hesitant to say publicly that they supported the president in 2016, knowing, particularly in the suburbs, how much pushback there was against the president. They may have been hesitant back then in 2020 to say that I support the president. But I think after the assassination attempt in Butler, I just think that there are no more shy Trump voters. They feel like President Trump almost took a board for them, and they feel like they owe it to the president to tell people that they support him. So I think that that's probably a good factor here. Another factor is that President Biden was born and raised in Scranton, Scranton, Joe. And there are a lot of swing voters in northeastern Pennsylvania. And I think that they stuck with him being the northeast guy. I just don't see that in polling now. Donald Trump is beating the numbers that he had in the past in northeast P.I. against both Hillary Clinton and President Biden. That affinity is now gone. And then when you go west to the state, you know, you go over to Erie. Erie is a working class kind of place. It is your quintessential swing voter. It doesn't seem like Vice President Harris with her San Francisco roots. It just doesn't feel like she's getting a lot of traction there based on the polling that we're seeing. Another factor is that President Biden represented the state of Delaware as a United States senator. And as you folks know, we're in the same media market. And for nearly 40 years, the Philadelphia media covered then Senator Biden, almost like a Pennsylvania senator. So he had that affinity here in the suburbs. He had that affinity here in Pennsylvania. You know, I just don't see Vice President Harris having that same kind of affinity. And Nick, something that you've talked about a lot on your show and elsewhere is that the support of African American males, you know, make no mistake about it. There is going to be an African American turnout surge in Philadelphia and Pittsburgh, probably akin to what we saw in 2008. But it looks like the anecdotes we're seeing of African American males questioning whether or not President Trump is a viable option for them is reopening. We've all seen the barbershop video, but it's also reflected in the polling where President Trump got 15%, I'm sorry, 12% of the African American vote in the past. What if he gets 15% this time? What if he gets 18% this time? That would negate any kind of turnout surge that would come out of Philadelphia and Pittsburgh, that there's some other stuff that's happening. In 2008, there were 1.1 more million Democrats in Pennsylvania than Republicans. That is now whittled down to a deficit of only 350,000 voters. And then if you look at the active versus inactive voters, inactive voters are those that haven't voted in over 10 years, that deficit is now down to 150,000 voters. So the state has fundamentally changed in who lives here, who's registered to vote and their propensity for voting. That's a really, really big deal. And then finally, we've got the mail-in ballots. So mail-in ballots in Pennsylvania were unveiled during the lockdowns in 2020. And it was clear that Democrats are going to have much greater adoption of mail-in ballots than Republicans. At this point in 2020, nearly 1.7 million Democrats applied for a mail-in ballot. And half of the mail-in ballot for Democrats came after this week, meaning that they were about halfway through the applications that we're going to get. Then if you look at the 2022 midterm, more than 900,000 Democrats applied to vote by mail, but a third of them came after this week four years ago. Now you look at today's numbers. 650,000 Democrats have applied to vote by mail, which is a lot. But if their goal was to keep their pace for what they did in 2020, which again, pandemic year likely won't happen again, but even to get close to that number of 1.7 million mail-in ballot applicants on behalf of Democrats, there just might not be enough time. So I think all of these things taken together might help to explain why President Trump is over-performing in the polls compared to what he did in the past. I think it's a Rumba's real clear politics joining us here on Talk Radio 1210. I know Sean and Don might want to jump in here. Last one for me for you, Athan. All of these numbers sound encouraging from Trump being under-poled to the deficit reduced from a million to 300,000. But I think we've seen the last couple of years. We see polls, we get excited, and they let us down. What does this all really mean in the grand scheme of things between, let's say, September 16th, when early voting starts through November 5th here in the state? Nick, it means people have to go vote. These polls mean nothing if Republicans don't go vote. Back in 2022, a lot of us felt incredibly bullish about the election, particularly after the debacle in Afghanistan, everything happening with the economy, but about 200,000 Republicans who were anticipated to vote didn't come to vote. That's water on the bridge. History, why they came out, didn't come out to vote, we can debate. But people have to come and vote. Sean, if you want to jump in, go right ahead. Yeah, Athan, thanks for joining us today. I'm a polling geek as well, and I was able to read your article last night when we were getting ready for this. You mentioned that 1.7 million Democrats applied for a mail-in ballot. By this point, is that in total? That's the first question. And second is, when is the cut off for mail-in ballot applications? Because if that's the case, then the Democrats are really going to need to drum up a huge amount of enthusiasm. I think the Trump factor on the ballot will get people out to vote. But was 1.7 million Democrats, was that the application by this time in August, or is that the total application in 2020? 1.7 million was the total number of applications in 2020, and they got half of that 1.7 million by this week in 2020. And the deadline is, I believe it's Tuesday, October 29th. So they have some time, but it's a lot of time. There's not as much time, and they have a lot of ground left to cover. So... Hey, Athens, good morning. Two questions. One is about all the headlines saying that Harris leads Trump by quite a margin among Hispanic voters. And in Pennsylvania, we've seen Trump force 47 opening different centers in Hispanic neighborhoods here in Philadelphia, in the the Reading area, as well as across the state. That's the number one to ask you about Hispanic voters, in particular, especially since RFK then drops out of the race. How does that impact with Catholic Hispanic voters? And number two, one of the headlines in the Philadelphia Inquirer is saying that in Bucks County, I know that Governor Shapiro was campaigning with Senator Casey, Democrat, longtime Democrat, obviously running on his father's legacy, but saying that this election, as far as the Senate, is up to to Bucks County. And so they were saying that essentially they were worried yesterday as they were campaigning in Bucks against Republican Dave McCormick. Don, in terms of the first question with the Latino vote, what I think a lot of folks misunderstand about the Latino vote is that it's not monolithic and it's contingent on what ethnicity of Latino somebody is. So for example, a Latino that's Cuban, they tend to be hardcore Republicans because of their history with Cuba and what Ronald Reagan did to support them and all that kind of stuff. What we have here in Pennsylvania is a little bit different. We have a lot of Latinos that are of Mexican descent, Ecuadorian, various South American, but we also have a large Puerto Rican contingent and Puerto Rican tend to be part of a voting bloc that is Democratic. So while in other places of the country like Texas or Florida or North Carolina or Ohio, where the president might win Latinos outright, what is different about Pennsylvania is that we have a larger continuum of Puerto Rican voters who tend to vote Democrat. Now, whether or not the president can break through that vote and block of Latinos this time is to be determined, but it's pretty clear that they've had success in other states. And Don, for the second question about Bucks County, it's where I live. Here where I live in Northwestern Bucks County, there are probably three times more Trump signs than there were in 2016 and 2020. In fact, I could probably walk to Wawa on Trump signs without getting my feet wet. And that's how fired up people here are to vote for the president. But we are the quintessential swing county. And again, something else that's underreported is that Bucks County has flipped Republican in terms of registration. That was something nobody had anticipated happening with cycle. And it happened pretty quickly. Yeah, just a couple of questions here as we close things out here in the final few minutes. And I do want to stay in Pennsylvania. You alluded to Bucks County. I like, you know, I'm in Montgomery County. I know it's blue. But I know the history of Northampton County. And that's where I grew up in the East and Bethlehem area. And it seems like as Northampton County votes, that's the way it falls for the state of Pennsylvania. Based on recent results, 2016, 2020, does that still hold merit? And how do you? This is, I guess, just a forecast and a projection. Any idea on how you see Northampton County falling in 2024? You know, Nick, you hit her on the head regarding Northampton County, Northampton is growing. And the Lehigh Valley as a whole is growing. And one of the things driving the growth of the Lehigh Valley are refugees from New York and New Jersey who have said I've had enough taxes. I've had enough with the liberal policies that I don't like. So they're coming here as a refuge. But the big question that we that is unresolved is, are they bringing those policies with them from the states that they left? And we're going to find out in the selection, whether or not they came for a change of pace or whether or not they want to stick with some of those policies, but they just aren't willing to cut the court yet. You've been doing this a long time. Big endorsement last Friday, Bobby Kennedy backing Donald Trump. What type of impact do you think that'll have here in Pennsylvania? Nick, I think it's substantial. The reason being is that the polling that I've seen of late indicated that the support that RFK Jr had as of today was mostly from Republicans at this point who were disaffected with the president. So at this point, you would presume that RFK endorsed in the president would then bring those voters over. And in Pennsylvania, the percentage of those voters was three to four points. Well, the past two elections were decided by under a point. So that's kind of a big deal. Last one for me, Athan. And I'm curious because I've heard Laura Trump say this. I've heard the platform of the RNC about embracing the broken system that we have early voting mail in ballots. We know that the election is technically on November 5th. But the election in Pennsylvania starts on September 16th. And it ends on November 5th. And I'll never get this soundbite of you out of my head back in mid November after the midterms of 2022. You said in regards to Federman winning and Shapiro winning that Republicans just stopped showing up at the ballot box on election day after five o'clock. It was like a ghost town after dinner. I if you say that again to me in about nine or 10 weeks, I'm hoping it's because yeah, Republicans embraced early voting and got things in early and didn't try to show up on election day and overcome a major deficit. Your your gut instinct on whether or not Republicans will embrace early voting starting September 16th. How do you feel about that? And Nick, we're already seeing it. And it is due we're seeing positive developments. And it's due to a lot of hard work. So for example, in Lebanon County, Republicans make up 43% of those who are replied to vote by mail. And in Lancaster County, Republicans make up I think it was 33% or 34% as of last night. So those are two red counties in Pennsylvania where Republicans are adopting mail and ballots on mass. That is fantastic news. But the challenge is in Philadelphia and in the suburban collar counties, Republicans are not. And it's a function of would they rather just vote in person that's how they're going to vote? Or is it that it's so hard to get a message to suburban voters that they just haven't adopted yet? But outside of southeastern Pennsylvania, Republicans have started to adopt using mail and ballots. And again, as you had said, Nick, you know, work in the polls, a sea change happened when President Trump was on the ballot. You know, traditionally, Republican voter would come first thing in the morning or would come during during the day. When President Trump was on the ballot, that changed. You would see a surge of voters coming after five o'clock. It would be guys in F one 50s and working class people who came to vote after work. And we didn't see that in 2022. Those guys didn't show up and they need to show up in 2024. There needs to be a line outside of polls of people coming to vote. The website real clear Pennsylvania dot com his latest column under reported polling suggests Trump poised to win in PA, Athan coots are rumbus. Great stuff is always power. We appreciate the insight and the knowledge. Thanks, Nick, talk to you soon. You got it. There he is. Athan coots are rumbus joining us. So that should make you feel good here on a Tuesday morning, right? You look at all those historical trends of how Trump has done in the past versus what he's doing now. I was blown away by that when I read that 57 out of 59 polls in 16 advantage Hillary 79 out of 84 advantage Joe in 2020 now Trump's 13 and four and 17 PA polls against one might as well be Hillary Kamala Harris. You got to be kidding me with that. That's a great sign. Yeah. The only thing I'm going to take from that article is and and this is not I'm not trying to, you know, as the devil's advocate, right? One of the things that Athan wrote about is that there was a shy Trump voter that was not necessarily that is no longer it says no longer inhibited from voicing their support. So are the polls more accurate and does the you know, the constant under polling or the understating Trump support continue or are the polls now more accurate because people are more accurately answering them. That's the questions, you know, the question that's in my mind because if it is a if it's if it's the same as it was a couple years ago where, you know, they're understating Donald Trump's support by multiple points. Well, then maybe he's up for five in PA. But if it's more accurate, then it is razor thin. We got to vote like it's razor thin. But I agree. I agree with you that it's it's very interesting to see these new polling trends where these the race is much closer at this point in time. Think about yeah. And think about that. You were a quote, closet Trump fan, but it took a bullet hitting his ear for you to maybe come out and say, you know what, I'm no longer going to hide the fact that I'm a Trump supporter. You tried to kill my president. So now I'm just going to wear my my Trump love on my sleeve, right? Five five five five is undeniable. Yeah, no doubt about it galvanizing for sure. It's a killing company on demand from talk radio 12 10 W P H T and the free Odyssey app. This is Jean Marie Laskis with the podcast cement city. So there's this election coming up, a big one, and one guy's been indicted. People are talking voter fraud. Democracy itself is on the line. Sound familiar? Well, this isn't that election. This one is in Donora, Pennsylvania, a dying town in the middle of nowhere, where I bought a house and stayed for three years. Listen to and follow cement city, an Odyssey original podcast in partnership with cement city productions available now for free on the Odyssey app and wherever you get your podcasts. Sean, I want to get to this story because this is this is fascinating. I know you have some thoughts on this and Don, I can't tell you how many big takes we have done over 22 months about Kamala Harris and the border. But I want to tee you up the start this conversation with the clip that Sean posted about a half hour 45 minutes ago in regards to Kamala Harris and the border. A while back, boys, this is clip 36. Let's take another trip down flip flop memory lane. Here's Kamala Harris. This issue is about a vanity project for this president. Right. And it is a problem of his own making. Right. And listen, when I travel this country, folks have plenty enough problems that they need their president to focus on instead of a wall that by the way, because I was a prosecutor for many years, including the Attorney General California, I specialize in transnational criminal organizations. That's that wall ain't gonna stop them. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, she goes captain. Well, it's a cackle. Oh my god, she's got a future on the view if she just wants to laugh for an hour and all for nothing of substance. So let's get this straight, Sean Fares. She said once before that the wall was un-American, she's implied that the wall is racist. And as you heard, the wall's not going to stop anybody. But now she wants to plagiarize Donald Trump yet again. And after having probably closer to 15 million than 10 million illegal aliens enter our country, which by the way, I don't know if anybody on the show believes in the great replacement theory. I do. I subscribe to it. I think it's happening before our very eyes. Basically, you lose voters. So you bring in new voters by opening up your borders. And then you say, you know what? And that Trump guy, he's not crazy after all. Let's let's finish the border. Let's finish securing the wall. All that stuff that's just laying there in the dirt rotting away, collecting rust. And then let's pump hundreds of millions of more fresh dollars into it. Because well, mission achieve objective accomplished, right? It let everybody in and then give them jobs at lower paying rates as they now kick out, not only white people, but black people from low housing, low income housing. Everybody that's a citizen of the United States should be looking at this as clear as day and realizing what has been happening here, what has been in play for four years. And now she just wants to copy Trump on that as well. I mean, how do people fall for this? I don't want to have it melt down at 934 Romans at the finish line. But I like my head ready to explode over this. Your head should be exploding. And you know what? And that's a good thing because this makes no sense. First of all, the great replacement is not a theory. It is a process. And it's happening. And they're telling you that it's happening. If that Clark from Brooklyn, New York came on and said we need these illegals, especially in my district for redistricting purpose, she said that. She wants to bring people in that do not belong in this country that have no no legal claim to this country. No legal claim. 100% of illegal immigrants are criminals. That's not nice. I don't care. They broke the law when they came here illegally. I'm not here to be nice. I'm going to tell you the truth. 100% of illegal aliens are criminals. The minute they set foot in this country in violation of immigration law, otherwise known as illegally. That's number one. Number two, walls ain't going to stop nobody. She said that she slipped into one of those accents that she likes to do. I don't know what character that was. But she decides that walls don't work, which we just talked about a couple hours ago, a little a few segments ago, right? That walls do work. You know how we know they work? We still use them, right? That's like we also still use the wheel because the wheel works as well. Okay, if walls didn't work, we would have found something better. We haven't. That's why we still use walls. Walls stop people all the time. Hey, Kamala, if the wall can't stop, people want to go try and run through it. You're not going to make it very far because walls work. They're they're doing what they're supposed to do and obstructing you from getting from point A to point B. Oh, that's number two. Number three. Now they want it. This is what the government does not just on immigration, but they do this with every crisis that pops up. They cause it. They deny that it's happening. Then it happens. It ruins people's lives. They knew that was going to happen anyway. And then they go, Oh my gosh, look at all these problems that are happening. Vote for us. We're going to fix it. No, no, we're not going to you caused it. Again, arsonist holding the matches. Hey, make me the fire chief. No, we're not going to make the arsonist holding the matches. The fire chief. Thank you very much. This woman is a joke. And if we had an honest media for about 40 seconds, they would not just answer about the border, but they would ask her about all these other positions that she has abandoned her stances on. You wouldn't just say, Hey, Kamala, do you believe in this now? You would say, what led you from believing that the wall was racist and a vanity project to believe in that we need to spend money on it? What led you to believe that? When did you learn it? Why did you learn it? How did you learn it? And why have you made this journey from point A to point B in terms of your political stance? We don't have an honest media. They don't care. They're not asking for interviews. They want her to stay hidden because they hate Trump and they want her to win. It is despicable. So your head should be. Yeah. Yeah. So Don, we have a situation here. We're now Kamala Harris. Axios has this big story that Harris is embracing a more hawkish immigration policy as Donald Trump's campaign spends tens of million dollars attacking her about the border. But she still has significant differences with Trump on immigration, including his plan for mass deportations. So she wants to build the wall, finish the wall, but keep the people that came here illegally because the end objective here is to get them to eventually one day be able to hopefully vote Democrat, which explains why she's opposed to the mass deportation. I mean, you don't need to be, you know, you could get through the ninth grade and figure this out. What's going on here? You don't need to have a college degree in political science. Yeah. And as of, as of this moment, when I look up, you know, Kamala Harris, what is her actual platform? What are her policies as written out? I don't find it. I mean, that that is stunning to me. Number one, number, and by the way, what was it? Yesterday we found, I think it was glamour, like glamour magazine wrote about her policy issues more than she or her campaign have written about her so-called policy issues. No, this flip flopping is exactly why she wants to avoid any kind of a debate because she knows when she starts talking, that's all you need that boom. So that's why for Trump, if I'm with his camera, I'm saying, agree to it. If she wants to sit down, let the woman sit. If she wants no cards, let her, because it doesn't matter, once you start getting into the nitty gritty and you start saying, well, wait a minute, for, you know, how is it that you ran for president and you were over here and now you're over here? Like, like you said, Sean, how do you explain that you got from point A to point B? And there, there is zero explanation. And then she'll say, well, a policy is, you know, the Venn diagram, whatever she says, right? I love Venn diagrams. Thank you. And so get her it, get her in front of the public, in front of the media, as much as possible. God, if Tulsi Gabbard can just pluck the meat off the bone four years ago, imagine what Trump could do. Trump's gonna swallow the bones whole. There's gonna be nothing left. That's why she wants to, that's why she wants to back out. And you know, at one's point, you know, she mentioned, you know, you were here, you were there. And Nick, your sports guy, you know, we talk about it all the time every now and then. But if you have like a best friend, right, just think anybody, this is not a Republican or Democrat issue best friend who loves the Philadelphia Phillies, right? Biggest Phillies fan, you know, they would, they would crawl over broken glass to support the Philadelphia Phillies. And then out of the blue, one day they're like, I'm a Mets fan. Are you not asking why? Yeah, how do you arrive at that? Right? Like, how you, you used to be the biggest Phillies, you at your wardrobe was old Phillies jersey, you had everybody. And now you walking around like, Oh, I love Piedalonzo. I'm a Mets fan. How did that happen? You're not asking why? You're not a, that's your friend. This is somebody voting. This is somebody we're even president. So we have people. Well, I could be changed to a position. So, so far, so far without any official policies on our website, we've heard a communist policy on price gouging, uh, to cat to cat prices. We've seen a copycatting Trump on child tax credits and the wall with the Southern border. And, um, you know, a combination of super, super far left stuff. Yet there's a claim that she's going to be more moderate and more centrist. I mean, she's all over the map. She's like, she's got no tax on tips. No tax on tips. I mean, she's literally has political ADHD. She has attention deficit hyperactive disorder. She doesn't know what she, she doesn't know where she's coming or going from Medicare for, from Medicare for all to Medicare for none. Nobody gets healthcare. That's it. I mean, this is literally how drastic it's going. I mean, it's like, it was like me and my fantasy draft on Sunday. I went up to my draft board and I was like, Oh, I'm gonna go quarterback. You know, I'm second thought, maybe I should take a running back after, you know, after further review, I grabbed the wide receivers sticker and put it up. Like, I mean, make up your stinking mind on what you want, lady. Come on. Because I want to go, but you know what? That's, that's fine. Because this is honestly, this is, this is a gift from the gods to Trump, right? Like, I mean, he should be able to just, I mean, we're 13 days out. She, she's not going to be able to have a full menu, so to speak, of policies available for Americans to digest between now and September 10th. I mean, we're still waiting on the first interview. And maybe we'll get like two or three policies on that softball Sunday interview that's probably going to come up here in the next three or four days, right? I think that's we. You think that you think they do these interviews this weekend? Cause her everyday weekend, like this Friday, her advisor or her campaign says there will be an interview this month. Well, the month ends on Sunday, right? So it's gonna be Friday, Labor Day, weekend. Yeah, they'll tape it on Friday and it'll air with, you know, sloppadopolis or somebody on Sunday morning, right? And nobody be watching because it's Labor Day weekend, right? Yeah, but she says something they're waiting to bury. Yeah, but Sean, I think with today's news cycle, if she says something that's way out there or whatever she says, because there's been such a vacuum, I do think that the news media, they're still going to be talking about it next Tuesday when everybody goes back to work in school. Yeah, I think you're right. Yeah, I think you're right. Yeah. Because this election season, once Labor Day, yeah, you're in, you're in after Labor Day, you're you are strapping fast and sea-filled, right? You are not free to move about the cabin. You got to sit down and strapping. It's gonna be bumpy. All right, we will come back and get to today in music history, as well as what's on tap for the dawn show. We totally blew through cut sheet part due, but the Kamala Harris border flip-flop story had to be covered, so I'm glad we got through that. We'll find out what Dawn has lined up 17 minutes out and we'll find out coming up next. This is the Kaling Company podcast from talk radio 1210 WPHD and on the free Odyssey app. Yeah, so we're gonna update you on, first of all, representative Mike Kelly speaking out this morning. So getting some new information as far as the task force that is not letting it go as far as what happened with the Trump, the attempted assassination of president, former president Trump. So you'll hear from Mike Kelly, we'll get into some of the details as far as what they're looking for and what happened yesterday as they were here in Pennsylvania in person, returning to the so-called scene of the crime. Talk about that. We'll update you on the Zuckerberg thing that they, I don't know what time you played that, Nick, that's getting a lot of reaction as far as, you know, a CEO of meta, Facebook and social media, Mark Zuckerberg, basically saying he was bullied by this administration. That's basically, I'm paraphrasing here, but that's basically what he was admitting. And now the White House really pushing back. And so there's all of this fallout, you know, because now people are saying, oh, wait a minute, Zuckerberg is coming out. And then, oh, remember that he was impressed by Trump fight, fight, fight. Right. Oh, yeah. So a lot of reaction on both sides of the aisle to that one. Yeah. And then- Oh, that's fascinating. Isn't it? I'm just, I am fascinated with that. And where the White House, because the White House is really pushing back. So they're pushing back against Zuck to say that he's mischaracterizing what they did. Yes. You know, it'll be a shamed on. You know, it'll be a shame. If Mark Zuckerberg got a little ticked off at the administration, be shame. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Comes out publicly, endorses Trump, says that's the most badass thing I've ever seen fight, fight, fight. Yeah. You, you said we need 50 50. I'll take 60 40. I would have X Instagram and Facebook.

So we'll talk to her as far as getting into the nitty gritty about what's going on with your food. Okay. So she's an expert on the brain. See if she's got time to examine mine when she's got a spare moment. Be interested to see the findings. All right. Sounds good. Don't show it about seven and a half minutes.
