  • if you add all those demographic pieces
  • together it seems to me that she wins by
  • 5% so Diane what do you think that the
  • October surprise was well I think there
  • were quite a few of them uh they came
  • fast and furious and uh I think Elon
  • Musk definitely coming out publicly he
  • was already a uh a converted uh Trump
  • fan but the fact that he went out
  • publicly at rallies he paid huge money
  • uh he gave Trump uh 45 million a month
  • for his campaign if he elect if he put
  • JD vents on the ticket as vice president
  • so he has done an enormous amount of
  • money uh enor devoted money and time and
  • that is very unusual for someone to come
  • out so for square in favor of a
  • candidate uh the other
  • surprise was Steve Bannon who is the
  • architect of the whole magum movement uh
  • you know this is a guy who's a
  • revolutionary he's not a politician uh

  • 1:01
  • he wants to upend the entire world order
  • uh no less and he was very instrumental
  • in the January 6th Riot uh on the
  • Capitol Building concerning the the
  • allegation that Trump had been uh stolen
  • that his election Victory had been
  • stolen so he went to jail for that
  • because he refused to testify under his
  • subpoena at Congress about whatever role
  • he played in that so he just got out of
  • the slammer uh last week just before the
  • election and he's already stoking the
  • Flames of stop the steel this is going
  • to be rigged and this is what you know
  • we could do about it if we are uh if we
  • do lose and that sort of thing so he's
  • very toxic um and he he will be powerful
  • in terms of uh putting his thumb on the
  • on the on the scales so those two amount
  • to big surprises I think The Economist
  • magazine was an October surprise it's

  • 2:00
  • never endorsed an American presidential
  • candidate and it came out in favor of
  • trump called him dangerous and that's
  • quite prestigious because their
  • readership are probably mostly
  • conservatives and business people who
  • would normally tend to gravitate toward
  • a trump rather than a Social Democrat
  • like kamla Harris so those are some of
  • the surprises I thought the rally in New
  • York was not a surprise but what was
  • said was pretty shocking and basically
  • uh Trump has decided to double down on
  • um intolerance and racist statements
  • just to stoke up his base and get
  • everybody excited and also after those
  • Puerto Rico comments we saw bad buddy uh
  • the musician who is Puerto Rican come
  • out and endorse Harris and I think some
  • of the analysts that we've been spoking
  • speaking to um have said you know that's
  • almost bigger than Taylor Swift
  • endorsing Kaa Harris for president just
  • because because of you know bad buddy is

  • 3:03
  • a Latino artist and that's kind of the
  • exact voter pool that people are that um
  • that both candidates are trying to grab
  • right now that's right and uh I have
  • thought for quite a while and I've said
  • so publicly uh that uh she will win
  • because there are more women than men
  • that vote about four to five% more of
  • the voters are female and a greater
  • proportion of women are Democrats than
  • rep Republican and the other uh the
  • other issue is of course the uh the gays
  • and the Trump candidacy has really
  • doubled down on on putting out their
  • really really nasty awful ads about
  • trans people about gays spewing lies
  • about you know they want to take over
  • the world and take our children from us
  • and all this nonsense and so I I've got
  • to believe that quietly that every gay
  • person in America male or female is
  • going to get out there and vote against

  • 4:01
  • Trump because he's definitely gay
  • bashing and anti-gay the gay population
  • uh in the United States amounts to
  • 7.1% this is not a small amount so I've
  • always said that between the women and
  • the gays I think that uh the Democrats
  • have have the advantage but it's it
  • looks to be a tie but the polls are
  • never reliable saying that though we've
  • just had a poll in from Iowa um saying
  • that actually it could flip to to the
  • Democrats do you think that that's at
  • all possible well it's a lot of if this
  • and if that and you know this is
  • conjecture I mean we call it the polar
  • coaster that's what we're talking about
  • the polar coaster and every day there's
  • some uh ignorant journalist and some uh
  • you know biased newspaper or website
  • that says oh it's all G to boil down to
  • Pittsburgh you know as if it's all going
  • to boil down to anything everything is
  • attached and not attached in other words
  • every every

  • 5:00
  • uh every Precinct that that either one
  • of them wins isn't affected by the
  • others and doesn't affect the others
  • it's all free standing and and it just
  • has to add up to the right number what
  • do you think about this kind of the
  • final stretch of the campaign you know
  • K's definitely managed to get a bit more
  • momentum in the last couple of days and
  • from the Trump side it just seems to
  • have been quite chaotic like yesterday
  • he seemed quite angry um political
  • reported that this was trumpet his most
  • aggrieved his most
  • discursive um but it feels like this
  • would be the time that he should have
  • you know raided it in a bit more to you
  • know appeal to those undecided voters
  • he's always been angry that's his brand
  • H I don't think uh managing how he
  • behaves is going to matter a darn you
  • either like that brand and that brand is
  • angry is masculine

  • 6:00
  • uh is is uh somewhat racist and sexist
  • and certainly author leans authorit
  • toward authoritarianism and Vengeance if
  • that's your if that's your uh if that's
  • what you like you're G to get his vote
  • and and I really don't think that uh
  • he's really a lot different than he was
  • back in 2016 he started remember he
  • started on a racist uh note by uh
  • becoming the birther you know claim
  • cling that Barack Obama this is before
  • he'd even I think become candidate was
  • not really an American which is code
  • word for he's black he's not really one
  • of us he's not a white guy and so this
  • is really the last Terra of the white
  • guys in America this election in my
  • opinion do you think that the Trump
  • campaign is a bit nervous this weekend I
  • think everybody's probably nervous
  • because you know we really don't know
  • you really don't know till all the
  • ballots are cast and and even then it's
  • going to be a delay you know when the

  • 7:01
  • polls close 8 o'clock Eastern time in
  • the United States and then it gets
  • progressively later we're going to be
  • way into the next day before we're going
  • to get a definitive answer unless
  • somebody just runs away with it and that
  • does not look like the case this is a
  • very divided country because it's a
  • gender election I was listening to um ND
  • scaramucci and he said that actually by
  • making the comments that he did about
  • Liz Cheney and by making comments about
  • uh reporters he could actually be
  • violating the terms of his parole by you
  • know with that kind of violent
  • rhetoric do you think that that's
  • possible and what kind of consequences
  • could that have well I think I think
  • he's 100% right and Not only would that
  • violate the terms of parole but also is
  • a criminal code offense in Canada in
  • Britain and most countries and in the
  • United States He is uttering death
  • threats not particularly the Vue
  • illusion he had to I don't care if some

  • 8:01
  • reporters get killed why they shoot at
  • me because you know that would make me
  • happy but it's when he directed it to
  • her and talked about a firing squad guns
  • at her face that she should be
  • eliminated that is a death threat that
  • is a criminal code offense and
  • apparently there's a couple of Attorneys
  • General in the United States looking at
  • it but it seems to me that every
  • district attorney in the United States
  • should be slamming him with charges
  • slapping him with charges this is just
  • you can't have this you know you I mean
  • he's doing it in a cutesy way and and
  • he's forgiven because oh well you know
  • that's just him well you know what if I
  • stand up or you stand up and say I want
  • the mayor shot to death we go to jail we
  • get charged that's a death threat it's
  • illegal he gets away with it lastly I
  • just wanted to ask you and you kind of
  • said it already but who do you think is
  • going to win I think Harris is going to
  • win not by a huge amount but I believe

  • 9:02
  • and my analysis is not scientific it's
  • just based on the fact that 7% of the
  • population is gay and they're going to
  • vote they're not going to vote for Trump
  • and that more women than men 4% more
  • women vote in the presidential elections
  • than men and women are
  • disproportionately
  • Democrats plus I would add that I think
  • there's more educated people in the
  • United States than uneducated people and
  • his his base is drawn from the
  • uneducated male people who are straight
  • and so if you add all those demographic
  • pieces together it seems to me that she
  • wins by 5%
