Starting point is 00:06:29 for any reason. Jim, your stats are a bit low there, but I will tell you that the mood of the nation will mean who wins and loses in November. If the economy is on the upswing, if the pandemic is tamped down, Donald Trump is a good chance, and the bookies, the people who take money betting on the election, have him out in front of Joe Biden. But all of the polls have the former vice president beating Donald Trump, and the president's approval rating on the pandemic is going down. That could turn around quickly.
Starting point is 00:07:11 Polls right now don't mean very much, but if things don't turn around, Donald Trump's going to have a hard time in November. Okay. This comes from June in Louisville, Kentucky. Bill, I totally agree about voting by mail. It should not happen. If people can stand in line at stores,
