[0:00] Okay, let me start with you. Uh, it wasn't many days ago that the
[0:02] president was not going to be making this trip to Salina, Kansas, uh, to
[0:06] Dubuque, Iowa, to do these rallies. He's going to be at a regional airport
[0:09] and arena in Iowa as well. Um, what is this close agreement?
[0:13] Was that it in a nutshell there with the music playing and the costumed revelers
[0:17] behind him? Uh, yeah, perhaps.
[0:18] I mean, he hasn't had a consistent argument for much of this cycle other
[0:21] than that he would prefer that voters pretend he is on the ballot in this
[0:25] midterm cycle, when which of course, he is not.
[0:27] But you're absolutely right. At one point, just a few days ago, these
[0:29] rallies were cancelled as the spin the white House was giving was.
[0:32] The president's time could be better spent doing a series of tele rallies,
[0:35] which he did do yesterday. But as we know, President Trump prefers
[0:39] these in-person events, especially where we can feed off an energy, uh, of an
[0:43] audience that tends to be more, uh, pro him specifically, which is why we see
[0:48] him going to some of the reddest pockets of these traditionally red states.
[0:51] All that said, the question, of course, is whether or not his appearances
[0:54] ultimately will make much of a difference.
[0:56] I would point out both Kansas and Iowa have had over 400,000 people already
[1:00] vote early across the country. Of course, That number is significantly
[1:03] higher. Some 50 million people have already cast
[1:05] their ballots in Texas to 7.5 million records there.
[1:08] Um, so, um, that's it. I mean, regardless
