What is the “October surprise” the host thinks might affect the November election?
Is there an October surprise coming? Now The overwhelming majority of people listening to the show know exactly what I'm talking about. Uh, the elections in November, the October surprise is a tactic used by politicians across the aisle. It's not just a Democrat thing or a Republican thing. There's always some big surprise before a midterm or presidential election. Pretty much always, 90% plus, where some bombsh. dreaded air quotes gets launched in October to alter the election. A Russia hoax or some crazy story, Donald Trump's despawn of aliens from the planet Jupiter or something like that. What's going to be the October surprise this cycle, if there is one? Now, I again I cannot predict the future. I'm not Johnny Carson's Karnak dating myself.
But I have some ideas of things that could happen, positive and negative. So you're prepared because it's better to know or at least be prepared to ingest the information than to be surprised, blindsided, find out after. the election it was fake, like the Russia nonsense crap. And by the way, for those of you who tell you the Russia hoax was not launched before the election, BS, I've shown that and debunked that theory a thousand times. That article from what was it, the New Yorker or elsewhere? They don't give me that crap. I've already debunked that. Got that. Uh an important note on something that involves me personally. And then uh it but it it may involve you too. It's the only reason I bring it up.
And third, I just want to address. What's developing in some of these SEC schools with the death of these students and why I didn't address it yesterday or the day before. I I try to live by the Bon Gino rule and we still don't know what happened. However, regardless of what happened, um I just wanna briefly chat about that because I have very close friends family members of mine in SEC schools.
