hat's entirely possible, but it sounds like such a Trump excuse. Well, I was working so hard, shaking so many hands in disaster zones that, you know, I got injured. So you got that going on.

Meanwhile, CNN has some polling information. Gunther Eagleman on X is pointing this out, where even CNN is saying that Trump's approval rating got higher after the Epstein files controversy. Now, are you surprised that Trump's popularity went up after it was found that he didn't do anything on Epstein? Well, I feel like people are responding to all the actual accomplishments, and I feel like if you went into the public and you said, hey, how much do you care about this Epstein thing, it's only the people like us, the people who would tune in to a political show or the people who would give a podcast about politics. Me, I don't think other people care. And so far they haven't been given a reason to care.

And CNN actually had somebody at the table who made the claim that he doesn't necessarily believe the ear was really shot. And the host, Abby Phillip, she couldn't let that go. Now, to her credit, she made sure that her viewers knew he got shot in the ear. We're not questioning that he got shot in the ear. He got shot in the ear. But they're making Scott Jennings' job so easy that all he has to do is mock the person next to him and that's good entertaining TV. So good for you.

Also CNN, they're reading that in their latest poll the Democratic Party is at their lowest favorability since 1992. But it's not as if the Democrats have given up. Sure, you know, maybe they haven't done well lately and maybe their popularity or their favorability is at the lowest level since 1992. But here's the good news for them. They have a plan t
