Good morning. 37 days until election day. In todays tim Walz And Jd vance will take the stage for the first and likely only Vice President ial debate of this cycle. Tuesdays matchup will be the first time the men will meet in person. It will offer a chance to reintroduce themselves to the country. Since joining their Campaigns Walz and vance paths have diverged. Voters have found him to be likable which has been a boost for his and Kamala Harris campaign. Vance history of comments has been a liability for Donald Trump and polls show his favorability ratings are underwater. The stakes are high. Especially with early voting underway in many states. This may be the last marquee event of the election cycle. Harris accepted a proposed debate for October 23rd but there hasnt been Indication Trump is going to change his mind about doing another. I want to talk about a key part of the economic argument thats been playing out the cycle. Tariffs. The Word Tariff properly used is a beautiful word
under pretty smart calculus. he is not threatening, so he is doing okay in the suburbs were trumpism tracks, but he is going to get that tribal trump vote, in the more rural areas, because they are against anything democratic, and they want to punish biden, you know what s funny, i saw a big miller everywhere from virginia, it was a big official, endorsement of youngkin by donald trump, with the hut and the pictures. but if you get out your magnifying glass, the paid for, is the democratic party in virginia. it had a little trouble glueing the trump thing on him, and the biden stuff, and others have gotten in the, way and just a quick footnote to, the 80.5 poll is kind of a trump trick. i think david would agree on this, is a likely voter poll. which in most cases is a scam. among other in that poll, registered voters, is still a one point race like every other poll. margin of. air with that, set the trend has been bad for mcauliffe, and good for youngkin. it s moving its way. so i m n
greatly. age of computer has made it where nobody knows exactly what is going on. nobody really knows what is going on. notice this is a device of donald trump s we re probably going to hear a lot. if you can maintain doubt about a problem s existence you re under less pressure to solve it. may not even be a problem. that s how climate change denial works. just flagging and understanding this trump trick, strategic ignorance if you like, can help inoculate against spreading. it s true that trump doesn t need to implement any policy until the 20th. but this may reflect the pickle he s in, cia s mount s evidence of sabotage and warm public embrace with putin. but administration not in the pickle. as evidence accrued moved from evidence to consequences. in other words instead of nobody
beyond the pale relative to president obama, the internet lore that crosses my desk on a daily basis, people who are friends and relatives, wait until you read this, this will turn you around. this is insanity, who believes this thing? but there s a small cult of people who do. trump is reaching that group of individuals but not going to broaden the tent. in the end this is an election that s going to be determined by independents and moderates and all this birther talk isn t reaching any of them. do you think he s in this past june? i think he is. i mean, i ve made some ridiculous proclamations on my radio program about parading naked if he gets in it, because i never there s no bay. he s been doing this for 24 years, salon.com had a good analysis and they said this is an old trump trick. i don t think he has the guts to do it. i really don t think that he has the guts to put his name on the line and stand for election in new hampshire, iowa, south carolina, or nevada.
age of computer has made it where nobody knows exactly what s going on. nobody really knows what s going on. now, notice this is a device of donald trump s that we re probably going to hear a lot. because if you can maintain doubt about a problem s existence, you are under less pressure to solve it. it may not even about a problem. that s obviously how climate change denial work. now i think just flagging and understanding this trump trick, call it strategic ignorance, if you want, can actually help inoculate against its spreading. it is true that trump does not need to implement any russia policy unt january 20th. his strategic ignorance, though, may reflect the pickle he s in, caught between the cia s mounting evidence of russian sabotage and his very warm public embrace with putin. but the obama administration s not in that pickle. it released hints, then evidence about russia ap hacks as the evidence accrued it then moved from the evidence to today s consequences.
