10/8/26 - Alting busted, Secretary of State debate recap, Lt. Governor legal mystery

Of course, the Secretary of State debate last night was fine.

I mean, if you're really into government or civics, it was fine.

I don't think anybody really helped themselves.

I don't think anybody really hurt themselves.

And look, we go back to what we said yesterday, which is we live in a soundbite culture.

All the stuff that we do now, I mean, think about how and our show is a little different just because we have different goals with what we're trying to do here, different things we're trying to accomplish.

But most of the stuff you see on YouTube now, what is it? Those shorts is those, you know, 30 seconds a minute of content, the tick tock, Instagram, all of that's what it is.

That's the attention span.

The seven million people in our state.

I can almost guarantee you less than 1% of them, a little quick public school math there, what would that be? That'd be about 70,000 people.

I can guarantee you there were not 70,000 people statewide who made that debate from start to finish.

And collectively, obviously, it's streamed on many platforms.

It was aired on television, you know, maybe.

Maybe 100,000 people watched at any point.

And it's one of the things that these politicians, we talked about this a little bit yesterday, because they're not skilled in media.

They're not experienced in media.

You have to think of every opportunity in front of the media to talk to a specific audience.

Who are you trying to reach? How do you reach the most amount of people? And how do you move those people? That's what you have to think of as a politician in every single media opportunity.

Unless you've been around that business, you don't really get it.

It comes back to what I said.

You got to answer the questions you want to answer.

In every opportunity, you have to answer the questions you want to answer.

And I think by tried to do that last night.

I think on numerous occasions, he talked about Diego's corruption.

Which is fascinating now, and we're going to get to that, about how the Republicans now, the Republicans are now mad at Bayh for wanting to audit the office.
