What are you?
3:13
I'm a pregnant yes, and let me explain why I'm, I'm half pregnant on this.
3:18
If at the end of the day we get the nuclear material, then I'm a yes.
3:24
But if we don't, and here we are now, nine months later, still don't have it, that means if we don't end up with it, I think it's a hard no at that point, that we wasted the opportunity and caused massive national problems for what? We took out the, uh, the Ayatollah? Okay, so what? If they still have nuke material, it's just a matter of time before they get it back together, impose more threats.
3:49
So we're, we're like, you know, the, the, the Groundhog Day problem.
3:53
So yeah, if we get the nuke material, I'm good with it, but, but, but it doesn't look like we're going to.
5:57
Uh, Vivek maybe needs to turn more policy wonk here in the final days, because you say the strategy that he has employed is really not being effective, and doesn't look like it's being effective enough to put him in the lead in the polls.
6:10
polls.So look, I, I, I'm perfectly fine with politicians, you know, taking the ideas I promote and the policies I promote, right? That, that's, that's the whole point of what I do.
2:46
I'm sure they keep trying, but I'm just wondering if I'm typical of most Republican voters, in your opinion, in that we just say, "Well, I'm not telling you anything."
2:56
Yeah, I ignore them too, Bruce.
2:57
And yes, we- it's not likely, it's definite that, that Republicans don't answer polls a- a- as much as Democrats do.
3:07
So there's always gonna be some polling bias, but is it six or eight points? I'm not certain it's that high.
3:14
So if the polls tighten, and let's pretend on election eve, it's, you know, three, four points maybe, five points even, then I think, you know, is it possible there's some undervote that happens, uh, uh, that, that puts both Ramaswamy and Husted in, back in office? Sure.
3:31
But, but it, it, it's not looking that way.
3:34
The, the trend line is, is against them and towards Acton, uh, and Brown.
7:17
But a lot of times, people don't do that, and you don't hear from them until, "Oh, I need your vote, so here I am, back again."
