l dysfunction and that we need to start over." Okay so John Kerry is questioning the First Amendment. The New Yorker, left-leaning publication, thinks it might be time to torch the Constitution or at least we should talk about it.

that if I gave you a set of Democrat policies and didn't tell you they're Democrat policies and I said instead there's a terrible entity that's trying to destroy the United States, look at the things they're doing. And if you looked at the things on their list you'd say oh wow they're pushing DEI. Yeah that's gravel in the machine. That's obviously that can't be for the benefit of the country. They're not checking voter ID. Well that looks like it's designed for I don't know what but not for good elections. Oh they're trying to limit our free speech. Almost everything that they're doing if you saw it on paper and it had not been identified as Democrat policy you would think it was a plan to destroy the United States.

I don't know if it's telling us what's going to happen in the United States but I'm putting Austria on my list of escape countries if I ever have to leave the United States. I'm going to say Austria hello. Hello. Can you take one more? They're anti-immigration though so I don't know if I'll get in. It's like the good news and the bad news. Hey the good news is there's a country that might survive. The bad news is the reason they're going to survive is they don't let people like me into the country.

All right the new polls are coming out. Trump's now ahead in Pennsylvania according to four different polls: Atlas Intel, Insider Advantage, Rasmussen and Fox. Those all flipped in the last couple of weeks. Last couple of weeks. We're getting closer to the election. Things are changing.

MSNBC is reporting the Democrats are losing ground with Latino voters. I saw an Eric A. post on this al

so. Great follow on X. 40% of Hispanics said they'd vote for Trump. Now you might say but 40% that's not so good. That's less than half. But here's what it used to look like. The Democrat advantage there in 2012. In 2012 the Democrats had a 44-point advantage for Hispanic voters. 44-point difference. Yeah that's huge. But it went down a little bit by 2016.
