But as I've analyzed, the Republicans should win this election, not only the presidency, but the Senate and the House, easily, easily. But it does not look like that's going to happen because the GOP and their candidate Donald Trump making too many mistakes. And it's not too late to course correct. They could zero in on what's really important to the American people, and that isn't skin color or crowd size. Okay? And I talk about that with Hannity on his radio program today. I've got to post it on Bill O'Reilly.com.

So I put three themes out that if Donald Trump would just basically hammer those three home, wherever he goes, and the Republicans would back him up, it went. The Talking Points memo this evening is about deceit at the grocery store. Now, this is issue number one that I talked to Hannity about. Everybody in this country has been negatively affected by the high price of food. Everybody. Even if you have billions of dollars, you're paying a lot more for food. than you did four years ago.

Fact. Kamala Harris will blame it on Trump, but everybody knows that's ridiculous. Biden did it, and I'll explain how. So, food prices under Biden Harris, up 20%. That's a lot.

And that's according to the Federal Reserve Bank analyzing Bureau of Labor Statistics. You want back up, you want facts, you got it. 20% up. Have you heard that question be posed to Kamala Harris? No, because she doesn't take any questions. But that's question number one. Madam, under your regime, under your administration, you and Joe Biden, food price is up 20%.

Why? And she'll go, Trump did it. But, you know. Okay. Now, the reason food prices have spiked is because on day one, when Biden walked in there and Kamala was following, he issued executive orders directed at crippling the American energy industry. All right, let me repeat that.

Executive orders to cripple the American energy industry. Why? Because that's what the climate people wanted, the far-left climate people. So he limited drilling on federal land. He limited refinery of oil by slapping regulation after regulation after regulation. So the American fuel companies had to pay a lot more to harvest and get the oil and gas to the marketplace. And so they passed that cost to us. So the truck drivers driving all the food into the grocery store had to pay 30, 40% more

than they paid under Trump. And that was slapped on the food products. What you eat every day. Do we all understanding this? I hope so. Americans don't want to think about economics, but you need to know what happened here.

In addition, COVID depleted a lot of the workforce in the restaurants and in the grocery stores. There were fewer workers. So to attract workers, the big grocery store is going to pay more money, salaries. And of course, they passed that on by raising prices of food. So you got a one-two punch, boom, boom. You got the fuel companies raising prices on transportation

and getting everything to the marketplace. And then in the store, you had to pay more money to have the people check you out or stock the shelves. And then food prices went through the roof. So now the Biden Kamala crew is saying, oh, inflation is coming down. This is the deceit. Oh, inflation is coming down. That's true.

The rate of inflation is coming down. It was reported today. And all the Democrats, yeah, yeah, yeah. Prices aren't coming down. Prices stand right where they were. But the growth of those prices, is coming down, right? And that's because consumers are spending less

because they don't have any money. That's why. So grocery store restaurant prices, fast food prices, whatever it may be, not coming down. That's how the Biden administration has hurt us, all of us. I'm trying to be as simple as I can hear. You will never hear that from the corporate media. Never, in a million years.

But that's issue number one, because all of us, even the Kamala Harris supporters, they got to know you're paying a lot more for food. But Kamala's going to deceive them. No, no, no, I'm bringing it down. I'm going to do it. Look, over the next few days, Harris and Biden going out on the road, going to give his little presentation. Now, we're bringing it down.

Well, it's too late. Three and a half years? You're plenty of time. Then there is the unfortunate reality in America that politicians at the highest level can absolutely lie to us, deceive us. Here's the best example I could ever give you. Go. I mean, no president's had the run we've had in terms of creating jobs and bringing down inflation. It was 9% when I came to office.

9%. But look, people have a right to be concerned. ordinary people it doesn't get clearer than that Biden says to the American people that when he took office inflation was 9%. You know what it really was?

1.4% according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. 1.4% when Trump walked out of office. Biden says it's time. Now how many times have you heard the phrase

Trump lives? A million? And Trump does deceive. I mean, when he goes out and says everybody in the country wanted Roe v. Wade to be knocked out, that's not true. But it's more of an exaggeration. And I'm not sticking up for Trump. He shouldn't say it. But this is just a lie. And the interviewer on CNN, Aaron Burnett,

That is so easy to challenge, no challenge. The Biden-Harris people know that, and even though that's the reality, Harris still won't talk to anybody on the slight chance that it may be a tough question that she can't answer. So it's a bleak landscape politically in this country now. And, you know, if Donald Trump wants to win, he's got to be smarter in his statements, to the press, and at his rallies, he's got to focus it on three things. Inflation, border chaos, and social disorder, all the realities. That's a memo.

Okay. So what's new? I got one thing that you may not know. There's not a lot new, as I said, it was kind of a lull here. So Kamala Harris and her husband, Doug M.off, file a joint tax return. And it's made public. So the Washington Examiner picked up that they have been donating money over a three-year period to a group called Legal Aid, D.C.

What is Legal Aid, D.C.? Well, the group described. It describes itself as providing services to impoverished Washington residents. Okay, they work with the poor. However, they are very political and they have called for slashing police budgets and decreasing patrolling in high crime areas. That means. The signal area is black areas.

This is a group that believes that African Americans don't get any justice. Now, crime in the District of Columbia, which is run by the feds through the roof, particularly carjackings, violent crime, all of that. And this group legal aid is donating, you know, calling for, we want fewer police and no patrols. Let's face it, the U.S. economy is under stress. National debt rising, trade war, shaking the markets. And meanwhile, China is dumping the dollar and stockpiling gold. That's why I protected my savings with physical gold and silver through the only dealer I trust, American Hartford Gold. And you can do this.

host columnist and the host of the brand new podcast, Podforce One. Every week, I'll sit down for candid conversations with Washington's most powerful disruptors, lawmakers, newsmakers, and even the president of the United States. These are the leaders shaping the future of America and the world. Listen to Podforce One with me, Miranda Devine, every week on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you get your podcast. You don't want to miss an episode. That makes sense to anybody? Well, Harris's pumping money in there. Why? Why? See, these are the kind of question she couldn't possibly answer. And she needs to explain those donations.

There is a group evangelicals for Harris, all right? And they are having a Zoom call today. all right and they claim that Kamala Harris' life of public service is a reflection of her faith in Christ wow so that means that

the Nazarene would be if he were here today saying we don't want any limits on abortion you imagine Jesus saying that I'm not sure you would being a little cynical here, but come on.

No surprise, though, Evangelicals for Harris is run by a woman named Iquemini-U-Wan. There's Icomini. Okay? She runs the organization. She loves Kamala. Well, in 2019, we found an interesting soundbite from, not a soundbite or a statement from her, all right, that she made in Dallas, Texas. Quote, we have to understand something.

Whiteness is wicked. It is wicked. It's rooted in violence. It's rooted in theft. It's rooted in plunder. It's rooted in power. It's rooted in privilege, unquote. Okay, so now we have Harris throwing in with Icomini,

who hates white people. Apparently, whiteness is wicked. I guess that's hatred, right? So now she's given money to an organization that doesn't want the police around, and she is endorsed by somebody who doesn't like white people. In the past, a politician would say, no.

I don't want that endorsement, not taking it. So if the Ku Klux Klan endures Trump, Trump would go, no, right? Not Harris. This is what I mean. This is why you're watching the no-spin news and listening on the radio to it. There is a pattern of behavior here.

It's frightening to me as an American citizen. All right, so obviously in 1960, Senator John F. Kennedy was elected president. And in his term, he cut taxes pretty dramatically, all right, because he wanted to give more money back to the folks. So the tax withholding reduced from 18 to 14%. And then corporate tax went way down from 52 to 47. It's still very high, but the corporations had a lot of different rules.

they didn't have to report a lot of things. So Kennedy was a tax cutter. He was a populist. You never get that in the Democratic Party now. Okay, Bill Clinton comes in. He signed the welfare for work. If you wanted federal welfare, you had to look for a job. And abortion should be safe and rare.

Rare, R-A-R-E, Bill Clinton. And Barack Obama, as I said, many social issues. He wanted legal immigration. he deported more migrants, President Obama did, than any of the president. Now, the Democratic platform is, hey, everybody who snuck in here overstayed their visa, everybody can become a citizen. So I wanted to know how that happened. And there's an interesting book coming out.

It's called Polarized by Degrees, How the Diploma Dividing and the Culture War transformed American politics. by a professor, Dr. Matt Grossman, who teaches at Michigan State University, and he joins us now from East Lansing. So I'm looking forward to reading your book, because I am perplexed. My mother voted for JFK, my father voted for Nixon, 1960, and the Democratic Party, even though LBJ did the Great Society and all that, it wasn't a radical left party until recently. What happened? Well, there has been a huge change in the demographic base of the Democratic Party. As recently as the 1990s, half of Bill Clinton's votes came from white voters without college degrees.

Today, that's down to a quarter of Biden's votes, whereas white voters with college degrees have moved from about 20% of the Democratic voting base to now more than a third. And those trends have been going up over that entire period that you just discussed and are linked to the increasing dominance of social and cultural issues in our politics. Now, has that been good for the Democratic Party or a neutral or a negative? Well, the parties have been at rough parity since that time. So whatever is good and bad, I would say, has canceled out in an electoral. sense, but it definitely poses a problem for Democrats to get a national majority because they still rely on votes of culturally traditional voters, and yet they keep embracing new social change. Okay, but most Americans don't have college degrees, four-year degrees. They're working people.

And the working people, you're saying, have gone over to the Republican Party? Is that where they are? actually the Republican Party has always been dominated by white voters without college degrees so part of what's happening is just educational attainment is increasing over time and the minority vote share is increasing over time and the Republican Coalition actually looks about the same between those three another way of putting that is that the Republican Party is staying the same while the nation is becoming more educated and more diverse okay but the Hispanic vote and there are far more of them than African Americans are tending to be more conservative now. Is that bad news for the Democratic Party? It's bad news if they vote their ideology. Hispanic and black voters have been much less likely to follow their ideological self-definition in their voting.

Another way to think about it is that the swing black and Hispanic voters are much more conservative than the swing white voters, even though overall minority voters are more liberal than white voters. So the swing voter in this election may come down to a black voter who is conservative and self-definition, who has conservative positions on social issues and economic issues, but still maintains a social tie to the Democratic Party. And is a gender split too among African Americans where the women are going big time for Kamala Harris? And there's a new study out today about that. But the men are, you know, more men are looking at Donald Trump.

Is that a factor? There has been an increased gender divide not only in the United States, but across democratic countries. And it is very much tied to this rise in cultural issues relative to economic issues. So the more that politics is about culture and social issues, relative to economic issues, the bigger gender divide that we're like to see. Is it just abortion that's driving women into the liberal? precincts? No, women are more liberal on environmental issues, on social issues of all kinds, race and gender among them. So it's not just abortion. There's a broad gender gap across

cultural and social issues. But you would think in America are, go ahead. I was just going to say women are also more highly educated than ever before. We actually, the college educated population is as geared toward women now as it was geared toward men before Title IX in the 1970s. So many more women... Look, anybody who can access higher education, in my opinion, should do so.

But the Democratic platform is corrosive to the family, and you would think that most women, in particular, wouldn't want their children to be subject to state dictums over their own parental dictums that that I don't know if that is actually sunk in professor that part of this democratic platform is basically taken parental authority away I don't know if that sunk in because it doesn't make sense that mothers and women would want that the vast majority of voters including women are between the Democratic and Republican platform so certainly that just because

women are more culturally liberal than men doesn't mean that they would endorse the I don't think they even know about it. And final, what's wrong with me? What is wrong with me? And now I'll narrow that question down because we don't have 10 hours. I'm very highly educated. And I understand economics. I understand social mores. I understand who the politicians are. I know most of them personally. There is no question in my mind that the Democratic Party as it stands today in Chicago is a destructive force to the traditions of this country. No question in my mind. And nobody can beat me on a debate. Nobody. Hey, it's Sean Spicer from the Sean Spicer Show podcast, reminding you to turn into my show

Listen and subscribe on Amazon Music, Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you get your podcasts. So what's wrong with me? Why am I not gravitating toward the Democratic Party? Well, this is a broader issue because obviously elites of all kinds are highly educated. So members of Congress, Republican and Democrat, are 95. percent college-educated. Most of them now have graduate degrees. The people in the media,

people in educational institutions, people in nonprofits, in the corporate world are all very highly educated and increasingly taking on the views, the culturally liberal views of college-educated liberals. That doesn't mean it's everybody. That doesn't mean it's everybody. But it does mean that those people who are in those institutions but find themselves disagreeing with the consensus, do, you know, develop a chip on their shoulder and want to point it out to the rest. So you have a lot of conservatives. There's also peer pressure. It's peer pressure in a lot of, like you certainly know that at Michigan State. There's peer pressure to think a certain way. I mean, my alma mater, Harvard and Boston University, overwhelmingly liberal there,

overwhelmingly. And if you are, if you don't, if you don't tow that line, then your career is going to be in jeopardy. So there's that factor as well. The book, again, is polarized by degrees by Matt Grossman. I'm going to read that book, Professor, and it's very nice of you to help us out this evening. Thank you very much. All right, now the polls are tied. Real clear average. Got Harris at 47-4, trumpet 469. Every poll comes in. It's this, a stat. Let's just say it's tied. Alexandria, Virginia is Dustin Olson. He's a poster for American Pulse Research and Polling.

They work for both Republicans and Democrats. And he hosts a podcast, Political Trade Secrets. Oh, we love that. We love trade secrets on this program. Okay. So you just did a poll, American Pulse, right? 1,035 likely voters. And likely voters is the category you should be in.

Republican 40, Democrat 37, independent 20, fair sampling. And the first question was this. Would you say the country is generally headed in the right or wrong direction? Right direction 27, wrong 58. So if that's the case, Dustin, 58 to 27, how can Harris be tied with Trump? It's really quite amazing. Actually, I've been going through the summer and as a pollster and your tracking thing, starting actually with the Manhattan conviction and then ending up with the debate and then with the assassination attempt and went R&C and then Biden dropping out.

There's been so many historic things. It's really been very difficult to actually pull and not have your poll completely thrown out. So after about a week of Kamala Harris being in the race, we thought we'd go into the field and see just kind of where the American people has ended up. And one thing that's clear to me that has had an impact is her favorability, actually about a month ago, she was, less popular than both Biden and Trump. And she's now more popular than both of them. Biden hasn't changed much. Trump has actually increased his favorability

ever since the assassination attempt. But she's had a really big bump. And I do think it's largely based off of the fawning media coverage. In our survey, we track where people get their news. And if you look at kind of the legacy media, it makes up about 50% of the electorate gets their information from there. And I think that's largely what it was. Also, to contrast, you look at Joe Biden, where he was a month ago,

we were starting to see the bottom fallout, and you had states like New Hampshire, New Mexico, Minnesota, Virginia, that were starting to come into play. And if that happened, it would have been a whack-a-mole scenario for the Democrats where they just couldn't have kept up with all these competitive states. And ultimately, having somebody who wasn't Biden was a big contrast for Democrats. and I do see some intensity and energy back with Democrats as well as the improved favorability, which is a pollster. We think that's fairly predictive as to where things are going.

I would expect you to have a little bit of... I think that's logical, but I think you're leaving out the skin color vote. Potentially, in our survey, 22.3% of African Americans are supporting Donald Trump, which I was quite shocked at, actually. post Kamala Harris, joining the race. So Harris coming up in the favorability zone, who has shifted into her liking her more than they did? Isn't it's not people of color?

Yeah. So there's going to be some of that. Though we also had Hispanics where Trump's winning by 5%. And we really worked hard to have a representative sample of minorities. I think it's largely people that weren't really participating that are now more energized. Also, you have post graduates who were pretty,

postgraduate anybody who has anything above a college degree. That's where a lot of the intensity is for her. And they seem to be jazzed up about it. I don't want to get too technical about it. But the surge, I think, has two or three points of skin color voting in it. Now, I'd love to see a survey on whether Americans understand what Kamala Harris is promoting.

See, my theory is they don't understand what this Harris Wall's ticket is. They couldn't understand it if, as I spelled out my talking points memo, it's so bad for the working class family and for individual freedom. I mean, it's off the chart that. When you're the governor of Minnesota and most of your constituency are working class farming people, and you're the fifth highest taxed state union? It's just inconceivable. And I don't think most people understand that.

I don't want to be arrogant about it, but the dumb vote, I think, is more substantial than it's ever been in modern history. potentially i you know when it comes to policy and i think i've seen you talk about this quite a bit really republicans should be focused on policy we tracked you know inflation the economy immigration on the border uh also abortion and really on the those first two issues inflation and immigration don't trump has a majority of americans trusting him better to handle that over Well, let me give you the data to the folks that you assembled. So who do you trust better to handle the economy and inflation? Trump 51, Harris 45.

That's a pretty high number for Harris, though. I mean, people are paying 20, 25% more now than they did when Trump was in office for essentials. Then you have securing the border. Trump 54, Harris 42. Now, this is the number that comes into play in the dumb vote. Kamala Harris is not going to secure the border, ever. She's going to let all these foreign nationals in, and the American taxpayer is going to pick up their education, health, and welfare costs.

And 42% of Americans don't know that? Yeah. Well, it's interesting on the immigration issue. We also asked the question about people's approval of the Biden-Harris administration on the border. And the disapproval is higher than the support for Trump handling that, which tells me that there is a difference between that they've been able to give himself enough daylight between the Biden-Harris administration and the Harris candidacy. I do think there's going to be a closing of that difference.

But right now they've given themselves enough daylight that she can kind of start fresh. The media is giving it to them. They haven't given themselves. The media is peddling these lies that, you know, Harris did X, Y, and Z. Final thing you have is foreign policy. Trump 49, Harris 47. So we had no wars of any, you know, consequence under Trump four years. Now we got Ukraine, Middle East blowing up, Afghanistan embarrassment, all under Trump Harris. and 47% of it, half the people think that the Democrats do a bit of job in foreign policy. Again, this is the only explanation is the dumb vote. I don't think there's any other explanation on earth, but please correct me if I'm wrong. Well, I think it's largely based on the media.

Your media gives you your reality for the most part. And if half of America is getting their media from sources that are telling them that she's great, she'll be great on foreign policy, she'll be great on the economy, etc. They're going to start moving in that direction. Now, one thing that I found extremely fascinating from our poll, we decided to ask people about the cognitive cover-up, the idea that the Biden, Harris, White House, and their allies in the media have been covering up the cognitive decline of the president for the last few years. And 61% of people said that they agreed with that idea, and even 47% strongly agreed with it, which my hope is that gives some sense that maybe people are seeing behind the

curtain and just how a lot of this impacts public opinion and how the country is being run, and that ultimately this could actually be a pretty big factor in the election. All right. When is your next survey? We'll do another one in August, late August, to see how things go after the DNC. And I think that's going to be the next big move in the campaign. Well, we'll definitely, I'm going to be off the last. week in August, but as soon as I get back after Labor Day, we get you on, and we really appreciate it to us, and thanks very much to taking time today. Right. Thank you. Media madness. This is a really

interesting story. Remember this woman Cassidy Hutchinson? She had a book, all right, and it sold a lot of copies. I know that because killing the witches was up against her. Now, witches ultimately sold a lot more copies than she did. But out of the gate, she said, did very well because she accused Donald Trump. of grabbing the wheel of the presidential limousine and fighting a secret service agent because Trump wanted to go to the Capitol and according to Hutchinson, he wanted to encourage this crazy thing to happen on January 6th.

Hutchinson was a low-level staffer in the Trump administration. She writes all this garbage. I knew it was garbage from the jump. Okay? Here's what I said. Go. important thing, accusation was from this Cassidy Hutchinson. Now, we've done some investigating. It would be physically impossible for a president or any human being, any human being, sitting in the back seat of a limousine to reach across and grab the steering wheel. It's impossible, physically impossible. Can't do it. Okay. And that was true. But that's not what the hate Trump media

told you rule of tape President Trump ordering them to take him to Capitol Hill and when they would not do so because they did not believe it was secure among other reasons President Trump, according to these Secret Service agents

who relayed this to Cassidy Hutchinson lunged at the wheel and then lunged at the throat and clavicle of his Secret Service agent, Robert Engel. It was devastating testimony, a portrait of a president who was completely and utterly out of control. And it was a lie. And Tappar's the worst. I just thought I'd rub that and you know that, I'm sure. So now, the Inspector General of the Secret Service, Joseph Kofari,

based on more than 100 interviews of every secret service agent around at that time, okay, and said, the whole thing is bogus. It never happened. This is the secret servant. This is the Inspector General. Okay, he was in charge of investigating this stuff. All right. So how many lies is a corporate media going to be able to get away with?

Because nobody's going to report this Inspector General thing. you know, it sickenes me that, A, a woman can make a lot of money peddling a falsehood, that B, CNN and Tapper can pick it up and spit it out, and they weren't the only ones. Almost every corporate media TV operation did, okay? And C, that it takes this long for the inspector general who could have done this in a month. you might say no it's awful our system is so corrupt i'm not cynical i'm fact-based it is corrupt the media is corrupt and the federal government is corrupt okay smart life so how do we get here how do we get here in 2004 it's such a corrupt place well on a political side it was an evolution

throughout the presidents, different presidents. And I've written a book, as you know, called confronting the presidents, all right? No spin assessments from Washington to Biden. It's out in about a month, September 10th. But the audio is already not available, but it's been made. And I want to run a minute of the audio

for confronting the presidents in the smart life. And I'll tell you why it's in the smart life. Okay? Go. George Washington gets right to work. His first task is defining what it means to be president. Problems quickly mount. America has a massive national debt from the Revolutionary War, no standing army, and a navy that has no ships. Yet the greatest headache George Washington endures is the hand-picked group of men he has chosen to advise him. This bickering cabinet of four

politicians includes Thomas Jefferson, Alexander Hamilton, Secretary of War Henry Knox, and Attorney General Edmund Randolph. Jefferson and Hamilton in particular loathe each other. At issue is whether the federal government should be a strong central power, as Hamilton believes, or if the states should wield the most strength, as in Jefferson's point of view. This debate will continue for generations to come. For now, Alexander Hamilton will win this argument. And it is George Washington who casts the deciding vote. And so we take each president, all 45 men, and we tell you who is corrupt, who wasn't, and how the corruption evolved.

And right now, I'll submit to you, we're not at the top level of corruption in what? Washington. We're not there because we're worst presidents and unbelievable corruption in some of the administration. We are in the media. Media's never been more corrupt. So you are going to get so much out of confronting the presidents. And it all pertains to today. All of it. You will learn something on every page and it's entertaining. It's fun to read. You take it to the beach. okay so pre-order on bill o'reilly dot com amazon barnson oval wherever you get your books all right here is the final thought of the day so as some of you know i have a home out in eastern long island beautiful in the summer the best place on earth in my opinion just gorgeous

nature is incredible no pollution out there ocean and the long island sound clean great fishing this weekend the dolphins were all over in my backyard jumping up and down we got the whales no sharks by the way because the currents where we are so strong sharks are out my selling called a mako boy that was something getting that into the boat a few years ago anyway so you got to eat out there in long and you got to eat out there in eastern long their restaurants are insane insane so i'm entering this place i'm going to mention it the montok yacht club i'm looking at the menu roast chicken fifty two dollars five two dollars chicken i don't even think they gave you anything with maybe they threw on a vegetable buy i was so open i went what

52. You can imagine what steak and lobster were. The chicken is 52 bucks. So I have my producers look up the expression of fool and his money are soon parted. It comes from 1587. In England, John Bridge wrote it down. And here is the quote, if they pay, Pay a penny or two pence more for the readiness of them, I don't know what them is, let them look to that a fool and his money is soon parted. And it's true. What kind of a moron, I'm sorry, I don't care how good it tastes, what kind of a moron would pay $52 for a plate of chicken? I mean, you could buy 10 chickens and put them in a coop in your backyard, I think, for $52. So it's getting out of control.

The point of this is no one is forcing you to pay, overpay for anything, and you can get fair deals. You got to look. You got to look hard. But they're out there. But a lot of wealthy people, I don't care, it's chicken. I want chicken. I have $50.

No. No. Now, I have to say that that restaurant was not crowded. I think people are going, you know what? We're not going. Even if you have the money, you want to set it on fire? That's what you're doing.

Taking a lighter and just burning up. the cash by paying those kinds of prices. So the Montauk Yacht Club is a lovely place. I mean, right on the water is gorgeous. But you got to bring your prices down out there. Or you're going out of business. I guarantee you'll go out of business. And you put a lot of money into Gussie and that place up. So I'm looking after you. You got to be reasonable here. Okay, $52 is not going to cut it anywhere. Anywhere. I think I made my point. Thank you very much for watching and listening to the No Spin News.

We'll see again tomorrow.
