yeah thank you for that call uh steve leesman you know connecting the um her situation the economic situation with corruption i think is interesting here and you brought that up but You know, how does that play out here in this election that people think not only is the economy not working, but it's rigged against the ordinary American?
19:36
You know, again, I was surprised in our poll to see corruption rocket to the top of concerns.
19:40
It really is a story that's out there.
19:42
And I think many average Americans are aware of what's going on.
19:47
You know, in my reporting career, which spans I think three or four decades at this point, there used to be corruption stories, and they were stories you would get on the QT from an anonymous source.
20:01
The corruption in this administration is so brazen, is so out there with the president's sons doing business with the government, the president himself reaping billions of dollars, and not even caring at all about the appearance.
20:16
It's not like, what interests me here is, is not what we know, but if there should be a Democratic Congress, and they should have some investigative powers.
