Ben Meiselas 0:00
The election is here. Can we contrast the two campaigns right now? Let's talk about what's occurred in the past two weeks with Donald Trump. And a lot of this has just accelerated over the past 48 hours. So Donald Trump holds that hate rally at Madison Square Garden. His surrogate calls Puerto Rico trash. Then Donald Trump dresses up like a garbage man. And he struggles to get into a truck. Then Donald Trump doubles down on the statement, and his running mate, J.D. Vance, says it was a funny joke, and Donald Trump refuses to condemn the horrific statements directed at Puerto Rico and the Latino community. Then more recently, Donald Trump threatens Liz Cheney with nine barrels pointed to her. Face. He threatens to kill her.

Then Donald Trump simulates performing oral sex on a microphone. Then Donald Trump threatens the media with being shot out, if shot at if they want to get to him. And then earlier today, Donald Trump talks about whether he should hit Michelle Obama. Donald Trump also says that he will be the protector of. Women, whether women like it or not, he will force himself to be your protector. All of that has happened recently, and we've seen dwindling crowd sizes earlier today in Reading, Pennsylvania, a half full crowd. Earlier today in North Carolina, a half-full crowd. And smaller venues, we're talking about 7,000, 8,000, and he can't fill those. Those are half full. In consequence, Contrast, Vice President Kamala Harris is finishing strong.
Ben Meiselas 1:43
She's got a number of top surrogates out there who are uh talking about a vision to unite the country. Vice President Kamala Harris and Governor Walls focusing on what they can do, what they can deliver. They're talking about policies. They're talking about the sandwich generation and how they could help lower the cost of the cost of the cost of the cost of the Of health care, how they can make education more accessible, protecting veterans, protecting our troops. They're talking about law and order. They're talking about issues that actually matter to the American people, and they're listing them. And they're finishing being positive. And they're saying also that there will be a place in their cabinet for Democrats, Republicans, independents.
Ben Meiselas 2:30
It's time we heal and bring the nation together. I think, folks, one of the things that has me very, very, very kind of confident right now is that I'm confident that the message of how dangerous Donald Trump is has now been fully realized by the American people. It took some of these recent events to get there, but I think it's out there. And on the other hand, I think people are excited to vote. Vote for Vice President Kamala Harris, not just repulsed by Donald Trump, but I guess we'll find out very soon as election day is upon us. Let me bring in Brett and Jordy and let's break all of this down. We told people to buckle up. This has not just been a bumpy ride from the Trump campaign. It's really been cataclysmic, catastrophic, whatever.
Ben Meiselas 3:20
Words you want to use, the issue is when the American people see that, will it matter? And of course, we'll talk about the Sellzer poll. There was a companion poll called the Port Hayes poll in Kansas, the Seltzer poll in Iowa. The trends we've been talking about here seem to be reflected in this high-quality polling. But then, of course, we see This deluge of horrible, uh like bad pollsters who seem to be trying to rig the various averages to try to put it in the average and pull it down. And I know that's causing people a great deal of anxiety as well, but we're here to make sense of it all. Brett, how are you, sir? Jordy, how are you, sir? I'm doing great. Happy election day, everybody. How crazy is that?
Ben Meiselas 4:09
So we're of course here live with everybody. But for those listening, if you're listening to this right now on audio podcast, it is election day. So that is pretty unbelievable that we are here right now. And I gotta say, if you're listening to this and you haven't voted yet, go vote. What are you doing? You could listen, you're listening to it, right? You could take this anywhere.
