00:00And what do swing voters think aside from the historic numbers?
00:05She's also an apparatus of President Biden.
00:08So what are they thinking as her being the likely nominee?
00:12Well, swing voters are swing voters because they don't have
00:16an ideology.
00:17They look at the character traits and the attributes.
00:20They're simply not wedded to the Republican position or the
00:22Democratic position.
00:23That's first.
00:25Second is that they tend to be double haters, which is that
00:28they didn't like Joe Biden and they didn't like Donald Trump.
00:31She's got, she doesn't have the baggage of Biden's age and
00:34that's significant because that was the number one reason why
00:38these double haters did not like Joe Biden.
00:40But she does have the baggage of the Biden administration,
00:44the rate of inflation, the lack of affordability, the chaos
00:48at the border.
00:50But all this legislation that he did pass, the Inflation
00:54Reduction Act, the CHIPS Act, the Infrastructure Act,
00:58so we're only into it 72 hours or 48 hours.
01:04We're just starting in this process.
01:07And the truth is, we don't know the truth.
01:11We don't know how people are going to break.
01:15I will figure this out very quickly, but I'm not going to
01:19rush to judgment because these swing voters themselves are
01:23not rushing to judgment.
01:25Frankly, it's dangerous to make any conclusion until after
01:28the Democratic Convention because that speech will be
01:32watched by tens of millions of people, will be seen in parts
01:36by, I don't know, 50 million voters, 75 million, and it's
01:42only after that speech that we get a reset of this election.
01:46And from that point on, it's going to feel like World War
01:49One.
01:51This is going to be trench warfare with all these key
01:54states within a percent or two.
01:57Every word, every phrase, every statement will be twisted and
02:01turned and taken out of context.
02:04And the one thing that you haven't asked me is what is the
02:07impact of this on our democracy?
02:11And my response would be,
02:13the good news, more people are going to be involved,
02:16more people are going to be energized, more people are
02:18going to be participatory.
02:20The bad news is that from the campaigns itself,
02:23I think we're going to be doing more damage to the credibility
02:27and the
02:28the open-mindedness of the country as we tear each other
02:33apart.
02:36I want to talk-
02:38But it's really bad when you participate in such a negative
02:41way.
