Lew explains why this year is a “Betrayal Election” where Trump’s decision to kowtow to the Israel lobby and go to war has had economic ramifications that will likely cost the GOP its House and Senate majorities. Trump has betrayed his base in many areas but the economic consequences of the Iran War alone have jeopardized not just GOP legislative majorities, but the future of the America First movement. Of course, we’ll see what tomorrow actually brings.

[00:00:25] Have the men of the West lost the will to live? It's midnight in America and this is the Hour Of Decision.
[00:00:42] Hour Of Decision with Lou Moore starts now. Welcome to the 138th episode of Hour Of Decision. My name is Lou Moore and today we're going to talk about a big event occurring next week.
[00:01:07] It's called Trump's Judgment Day. Some of you would also call it the midterm national elections, the elections where we elect senators, members of Congress, governors and various state and local officials, depending on the election cycles your locality operates under. But it is primarily about control of the U.S. Senate and the U.S. House.
[00:01:35] And this battle for control of the U.S. Senate and the U.S. House is occurring in a very heated nationalized environment where both the opposition to President Trump and the president himself are seeking to nationalize this election and make it about, primarily, Trump's economic and foreign policies.
[00:02:04] So, let me tell you folks, this is a disaster that's coming at us at about 80 miles an hour. But before I get to the nitty gritty of the upcoming elections and about electoral politics in general, I want to talk about the war.
[00:02:27] I issued a warning a few weeks ago saying I was very concerned that a historic pattern that we've identified here on Hour of Decision, where presidents defer military action overseas that they know very well they're going to take, that they defer it until after the elections in order to basically lie and fool the public
[00:02:54] and make sure the public's choices made on an election day are not based on this policy that's going to be central to their lives, but one that hasn't been enacted yet. I've talked about Woodrow Wilson, who in 1916 was intriguing to an nth degree, him and Colonel House,
[00:03:17] with the House of Morgan, with the Brits, with the allies in World War I, fighting against what they called the Central Powers, primarily Germany. And they had every intention of joining Britain in this war, Britain and France and Russia. But instead, Wilson campaigned on he kept us out of war. That was his campaign slogan in 1916, folks.
[00:03:46] He won. And then immediately the doughboys are put on the ships and sent over to the meat grinder, which was World War I, World War II. Franklin Roosevelt in 1940, a dicey time for him, he's running for an unprecedented third term when it was still legal for a president to run for a third term. It just wasn't done. It wasn't the tradition. So he's bucking tradition, not the law in 1940.
[00:04:13] But Roosevelt went across this country saying he did not want to get America involved in the wars that were occurring and heating up tremendously in both Europe and in Asia. He was lying, folks. He did everything he could after the election to provoke a confrontation with Germany in the North Sea and finally was able to... Well, I won't get into the details.
[00:04:42] We ended up in a war. And I believe people around Roosevelt had a lot to do with it. And that was the Pearl Harbor attack where Japan attacked us. But many intrigues and evil thinking and wrongdoing occurred before that attack occurred in 1941. And then there's the example that I've just given because we're talking about Lyndon Johnson here. We're in the middle of a Johnson series. Now, we're interrupting that series today.
[00:05:12] But we have already alluded to the fact that in 1964, when Lyndon Johnson is running for the first time in his own right as president and for president in a general election, he states that he did not want to have American boys go do what Asian boys did. And of course, he already had prepped and their plans were on the table for a huge ramp up in Vietnam,
[00:05:38] which occurred right after that election. It occurred in 1965. So pretty well established pattern here, folks. And even the Iraq war in 2001, you know, Bush argued that he wanted he was campaigning during the election of 2000, that he wanted a more humble foreign policy, that he didn't want any nation building.
[00:06:02] But then at the first opportunity, he launches a huge nation building program in Afghanistan under the auspices of chasing Osama bin Laden, who they never found, who Bush didn't find, chasing him around Afghanistan. And then, of course, the Iraq war that really had nothing to do with 9-11 on any level, but was on the agenda of the Zionist lobby.
[00:06:28] So I would argue even that one kind of qualifies for what I'm talking about. But, you know, Trump is a little different. So Trump is saying, well, we won't have any war until after the election. So the war is not in the headlines. But he has actually pretty much said what's going to happen in this phone call he had with BB the other day, where they're still got great things to do and great things to do together after the election. Well, it's pretty clear what they're talking about.
[00:06:58] So look for new war and maybe boots on the ground now. Finally. In Iran, we'll see. But I'm very concerned about that. But that's you know, whether that happens or not, this war has everything to do with the circumstances of this election.
[00:07:18] And the environment of this election and the environment that voters are in going to the polls or going to the mailbox or going to the drop box with their selections. And maybe there's some other actors making some selections as well that are illegal. So next Tuesday, next Tuesday, folks, is supposed to be the cutoff at least. Of course, it isn't even the cutoff. Some states anyway, I won't get it.
[00:07:47] Now, it's going to go on for a while because that's what they do now. But anyhow, the election, it's officially Tuesday, November 3rd, 2026. And I'm recording this on the prior Thursday. Relevant when we talk about predictions, I think it's going to be a wild weekend. That's my first prediction before this election. There's so many races so close all over the country right now.
[00:08:16] And some real drama with the election. But one of the other big backdrop for this election, the one that's most pertinent to it, in my opinion, isn't the war itself.
[00:08:32] The war was the cause, preeminently and almost exclusively, the cause of the economic disturbance, the tremendous level of angst in the public and worry, legitimate worry and concern in the public. High gas prices, high food prices, high prices for buying a car. We're going to talk more about that in just a second. But the big precursor was the war.
[00:09:00] But these are the effects of this war with all the disruption in the Straits of Hormuz, etc. And it's a big part, in my opinion, of the mind of the voters that have been voting for many days now and will continue to do so through at least Election Day next Tuesday.
[00:09:25] So one of the big warning signs out there, folks, when you talk about middle class America in particular, while we can still talk about middle class America as being the majority of Americans, you think first of the house. That they've got some potential to buy and to maintain a mortgage for a house.
[00:09:49] And then secondarily, it's a car or two cars, particularly where a husband and wife both have to work. They both have to commute. Anyhow, it's every family is different, but one or two cars in each family. And of course, cars are a status symbol. Cars are the symbol of freedom, according to Ronald Reagan. Even though now they've got more cameras and listening devices in these cars than you can possibly believe.
[00:10:14] And they can shut them off, whether you want them shut off as well if they want them to be shut off. But that's another story, one we've already covered in our American Tyranny series. But now the big problem is just affording a car. The prices have gone up and up and up. And part of this has been because of all the regulations, all the mandates that they keep pouring onto these vehicles. But the other reason is, I mean, there are other reasons as well.
[00:10:43] But the bottom line is for the consumer, cars are getting really, really expensive. And so now some coverage from Reuters breakthroughs. Breakthroughs is a series on Reuters. From October 13th, it's titled, The $1.7 trillion auto loan market heads for a crash. A $1.7 trillion loan market, folks.
[00:11:10] The second most consequential one to middle class Americans. And for lower class Americans is headed for a crash. The story flags, and this is now from Grok. The story flags that more than 30% of subprime loans originated in the first half of this year won't be paid off until the car is over 12 years old. 12 years old, folks.
[00:11:39] Just keep driving that thing. Up from the 7% in 2019. 30% up from 7%, which is where it was in 2019 before COVID and many other things hit us. Fitch's subprime 60-day delinquency on auto loans is hovering around 6%.
[00:12:03] A record on a market that saw $127 billion in securitized issuance last year alone. Bloomberg's Big Take, which is another media outlet, did a parallel deep dive in late September, analyzing nearly 3 million securitized subprime loans.
[00:12:27] These are subprime auto loans, folks, not to be confused with the famous and infamous subprime mortgage loans that caused the collapse almost of our entire economy back in 2008-2009. But Bloomberg's Big Take did a parallel dive, analyzing nearly 3 million securitized subprime loans in the auto market. They're finding about one in four borrowers who got loan modifications,
[00:12:56] who, in other words, couldn't make payments. They got some modification to their loan, so they didn't get the car repoed. They still lost the car, one in four. And S&P revised loss estimates as high as 31% on Exeter's 2022 deals, the measurement from Exeter.
[00:13:19] They also noted 8% of subprime borrowers fell behind in July, the highest since 2018. So, folks, this is not good. This is bad. And this is a lot of people hurting in the public.
[00:13:43] And a lot of people now are lying because there are now a fourth of these loans that are in default. They also find out the borrowers were lying on their loan applications. And I'm not justifying that, but people are under pressure. They're not all criminals doing this, I don't think. These people need cars. And, of course, they always think they, most many Americans think they need more car than they actually need.
[00:14:12] That's another topic. But anyhow, an undertow, an undercurrent, one of many in the economy, which is coloring this election. So here we go. Donald Trump is in Mississippi. Mississippi. He's campaigning in Mississippi, folks, because the Mississippi Senate seat is on the line.
[00:14:40] And it's an incumbent Republican who is in danger of losing that Senate seat. Unbelievable. He's been to Kansas. Kansas is the most Republican state, folks. Historically, I think it is the most Republican state. Going back the farthest with that voting behavior in the country. Unbelievable.
[00:15:06] Low propensity Democrat voters are voting early in record numbers. Republican low propensity voters are not voting in record numbers. They are not voting. And the other thing is, folks, this is the same thing that happened in 2024 to the Democrats. You take your group, say, Republican low propensity voters. Oh, we got them.
[00:15:35] We got 100 of them out to vote. 20 of them very well probably voted for the Democrat because the pollsters are registering. Rich Barris has a very detailed analysis on this. Other pollsters do as well. 15 to 20 percent defections. Defections. That means a Trump voter and possibly a Republican voting for the Democrat. It's happening, folks.
[00:16:01] It has to be for this huge shift that we see going on. But I mean, this is the bottom line. And when we talk about low propensity voters, they are very, very, very important. In an off year election, because I mean, let's just look at the numbers here. In 2022, 46. Less than half of all eligible voters.
[00:16:26] I'm talking about everybody who could register and then go vote legally in the country. They don't all do it. A whole lot of them do. But 46 percent of that number voted in the 2022 off year elections. In 2018, it was 50 percent of that number. 46 in 2022 and the previous off year, 2018, it was 50 percent.
[00:16:55] But to give you an idea, 75 percent, 75 percent of those people in that category voted in the 2024 presidential election. So what am I saying? A lot of people don't vote in the off year. I've been saying this on this show, and that's why they are low propensity voters. That's how they get classified that way.
[00:17:25] Now, there's a low problem in methodology because a lot of people look at low propensity, not exactly the same that are in this business. I mean, politically, when I did, when I was involved in political consulting and involved with pollsters, you know, we looked at one out of four voters. And that's counting presidential, that's counting primaries and general elections. The last four elections.
[00:17:54] So that could even be a school board election. That could be another election. If they had to if they voted one out of four or less, they were a low propensity voter. And overwhelmingly, the last time they voted was in a presidential election because that's when the majority of people vote. So getting to my point here, you know, that's a third less.
[00:18:21] About a third less people are going to likely vote this year. If we take 2022 and 2018, let's say 48 percent is going to be the number. We don't know what the number is, but it's not looking like it's going to be exceeding. Seeding 2022 or 2018 because the Republicans are not getting their low propensity voters out.
[00:18:49] So far in the early voting and the game is in politics, you want to get the low propensity voters. You want to bank those votes. So in states with early voting and almost every state now has some form of early voting, whether it's at a polling place or through the mail or drop at a drop box, mail to you.
[00:19:09] And then you drop it back off. No matter how that's working, you want to prod the heck out of these people to vote because your high propensity voters can take care of themselves. And then you can see before Election Day if they haven't taken care of themselves or if they're in the case, particularly the Republicans, they they overwhelmingly they still tend to vote on Election Day.
[00:19:35] Then, you know, you have an easier lift to get those people out and you don't need as much time. You just need to give them a little prod there. They vote in every election or they vote in almost every election. What we would call in Washington state and places I've done politics, three out of four or four out of four voters. They almost always are. They always vote. So you save them till the end. And of course, they are voting in fairly good numbers right along.
[00:20:03] But the Dems are getting these low propensity voters out early. They're banking their vote and the Republicans are struggling in doing that, which means that's bad for the Republicans. It also means that turnout isn't going to be as high. I don't think this election is going to be more reflective of one of these two previous elections.
[00:20:30] So, yeah, in 2024, 64 percent of 64 percent of eligible voters voted. That was the second highest total ever. The highest total being 2020. And we think a lot of those votes may not be real. Some of the 2024 either. So anyway, I think you get my point. Low propensity voters are not as likely to vote. Now, what kind of voters are Trump voters?
[00:20:59] Trump voters in millions. And they think as many as 20 million of the 77 million voters who voted in 2024 for Trump were low propensity voters. That's extremely unusual to have such a high percentage of your overall vote be these low propensity voters.
[00:21:24] But they've seen this pattern, folks, ever since Trump came on the scene and they can start accumulating data. I mean, by 2018, they were seeing this, that you were looking at voters in 2016. The pollsters were being told, oh, yes, I voted for Trump. And these people are not voters. One out of eight, one out of 10, one out of four. Of the last elections in their life history or new voters, which don't have a history. And so big trouble.
[00:21:53] The Republicans were already behind the eight ball because off-year elections never go well. Almost never. Particularly the second off-year for a president and his party. And Trump, you know, there was a gap. I would still say it's analogous. He's not running again. So it's already tough. Then secondly, the Trump voter in a nationalized environment where Trump is saying, pretend I'm on the ballot.
[00:22:21] And when everybody knows this is some kind of referendum on Trump and his policies. It's not good. It's not good for the Republicans. So low propensity voters off-year. And then you add the betrayal of the war. The betrayal of his base on the Epstein issue. Which a lot of people, I heard people, I heard people argue with me and said,
[00:22:51] Epstein's really not that big of an issue with people. It won't determine in any way how they vote. Folks, all kinds of pollsters across the spectrum have proven that's absolutely false. And when you tell your base that if you continue to want a policy that I campaigned on, digging into the Epstein files, digging into what was going on there,
[00:23:18] then when I don't do it and you still want me to do it, then I don't want you in my base anymore. You know, some people take him at his word. And they leave the base anecdotally and pulling interviews, focus groups. This isn't the majority of electric folks, but it's just one piece. So, and then, but the biggest, the biggest impact is what the war has done to the economy.
[00:23:44] What the war has done to people's ability to make their car payments. What the war has done for people's ability to make their mortgage. What it's done for people to pay for a commute when gas is two and heading to three times higher than it was. We hit a milestone this week, folks. Gas is now more expensive in Trump's America than any time it was in Biden's America.
[00:24:11] Unbelievable and an unbelievable disaster for the GOP. I want to remind you that there is an election going on. It's going on right now all around you and will somewhat culminate, the first part of it anyway, next week. You need to go to SecureVote.News and get the latest information on hinky-panky going on around the country.
[00:24:40] My name is Lou Moore. This is Hour of Decision. I will be right back with the second half after the news. Second half of the Hour of Decision with Lou Moore starts right now.
[00:25:12] Welcome back to Hour Of Decision. My name is Lou Moore. We're talking about Trump's Judgment Day. We're talking about the election, which is hopefully, supposedly going to culminate next Tuesday. It's been going on all over the country, people voting everywhere.
[00:25:30] We're talking about the freefall, the impending disaster that appears to be about ready to hit the GOP right between the eyes. We're talking about the fact that Democrat low-propensity voters by all measures right now are turning out in larger numbers in this early vote than Republican low-propensity voters who are not.
[00:25:57] And then, as I said, many of these Republicans who are of a lower propensity voting may not be voting for the Republican. And this is all very important because there's going to be a huge retraction in the total number of votes. It will be about a third less than it was in 2024 when Trump won the White House.
[00:26:22] And Trump was well known for low-propensity voters to be voting for him. And so, first of all, they've historically not been excited when he's not on the ballot. And secondly, they're not very excited because he's betrayed them. And as Robert Barnes and others have characterized this election as a betrayal environment. It's an off-year election.
[00:26:50] Trump has nationalized the election around him. The Democrats have nationalized the election around some of his policies. They've been smart not to focus too much on him. The Trump derangement syndrome that was just getting out of hand with them. They seem to have put that in check. But it's certainly his policies that they are running against.
[00:27:13] But it's a betrayal environment, folks, because MAGA wanted Epstein investigations and deep state perp walks. They wanted the electoral system fixed, which I will get back to that if I have time in this episode, election integrity. They wanted mass deportations.
[00:27:35] They wanted cheap energy and a more solid dollar and a more solid basis all the way around for our government after Joe Biden spent an ungodly amount of money. But the people actually up for reelection this year, Republican members of Congress, they couldn't even cut one percent.
[00:27:56] One percent, folks, from Biden's completely out of hand spending that was 40 percent higher than before he took office. Nothing done about that. And then overseas war and overseas war and another overseas war that Trump said he would fix his first day, even before he took office, after he won election his first day. That he could get everybody on the phone and end the war in Ukraine.
[00:28:26] But that has not happened. We spent hundreds of billions of dollars, including under Trump, in this other another meat grinder, another meat grinder of European peoples being killed off. But these elites in Europe goading Putin on putting on putting on putting on advertisements showing nothing but white native Europeans going to war while they're bringing in tons of aliens to take their place.
[00:28:54] Anyway, I get off track very easy here, but I will not do it. I will go back to the topic, which is Trump failed and he failed big time in keeping us out of a what would now be called an endless war. We don't know when it will end. I'm not saying it's going to go on as long as Vietnam or as long as Afghanistan or Iraq. But do you know when it's going to end? Some people are now talking years, folks.
[00:29:21] People that are supportive of the intervention over there. This is just this. This is so bad, so bad. So the environment is a betrayal environment for the MAGA stalwarts in terms of their willingness to volunteer. And some of them in the willingness to even vote for Trump. But certainly in the energy, I just saw a statistic. Democrat small donors.
[00:29:49] Ten times the number of small donors is the GOP. And that measurement has very little to do, unfortunately, these days with the financing of campaigns. But it has everything to do with the enthusiasm of the base. It's one of the best measurements. The Republican count on small donors. It's been in free fall for quite a while.
[00:30:16] The Trump merchandise businesses going out of business also in free fall. The venues where he's going smaller. Some of them got a lot of empty seats trying to hide the fact. And then, of course, they're kicking people out of some of these rallies if they have a hat that says America first. And it's not a Trump hat. If you got a blue hat that says America first, you're thrown out of a Trump rally for God's sake. Unbelievable.
[00:30:46] Unbelievable. So, defections, low propensity voters coming out on the D side, not on the R side. In an off-year election, low propensity voters, key addition needed to win these elections. The rural Obama voter. People forgot all about these folks. You know, Ohio wasn't a slam dunk when Obama was president. Florida wasn't a slam dunk when Obama was president.
[00:31:16] Some of these other states in the Midwest. Not hardly. And there were rural white folks voting for Obama. Well, they're back, folks. They're not voting for Obama. But according to a lot of different pollsters, they are back voting for the Democrat and voting against Trump. Against Trump. The polling is bad everywhere, folks. It's terrible.
[00:31:45] And we're going to get back to polling in just a minute because there's a lot of loose talk, particularly among people who know they're talking to the Republican base that's still there. Because they don't want to de-energize them any further on the eve of an election. But they're lying their heads off, folks. Speaker Johnson lying his head off. I'm telling you right now. Anyhow. And then there's odd little quirks to this election, like the libertarian factor.
[00:32:14] Remember Thomas Massey? Do you remember that Trump okayed spending $50 million to defame this man? He is the champion of the libertarian wing of the Republican Party, which was a legitimate part of the MAGA coalition. Well, guess what? That there are libertarian candidates in some of these competitive races, like Texas, that are getting 5% of the vote. This is a disaster for the Republicans.
[00:32:44] I mean, it's bad enough. It can be bad enough when they get 1 and 2%, but 5%? Ken Paxson doesn't have 5% to give away, folks. Matter of fact, he's behind. In the most recent leading polls, he's behind. The electorate's getting more brown, less white. A big problem for those of us who want to protect election or protect our Western civilization
[00:33:11] and who are happy to have people of other ethnicities in alliance with us in the polling booth. But Trump, that's the other thing. He's losing. He's losing. Hispanics, huge. Hispanics, he won over in 24. He's losing the black men. He won over in 24. They're not voting. They're not voting for him, according to a number of pollsters who have looked at this. But this massive factor is real, not all over the country.
[00:33:42] But in many of the key races that are getting the most attention, where people can make a statement, usually these third-party numbers drop off. As it gets closer to the election, the standard thinking goes that, oh, well, you know, this is a serious election, and I'm upset, and I really like the Libertarian, but I really want my vote to count. So, no, I'll go ahead and vote Republican. Or maybe they decide not to vote at all instead of voting for the Libertarian.
[00:34:11] But no, numbers not dropping off. It's growing in some areas. This is a real problem in certain races. And then there's the Maha voters. I mean, they just announced that the mRNA backs. It's just perfect for pregnant women. Trump made the head of the CDC very anti-MAGA, Provax, basically spit in the face of Robert Kennedy. They put Kennedy in a box.
[00:34:41] That's really unofficial White House policy after this poll Susie Wiles did that I reported to you on, on this show that they did months ago. So they're losing people out of that niche. A lot of them are women, and they were not solid. Trump supporters, a lot of them were Democrats, but they came across because they thought Trump was going to go after Big Ag, go after Big Pharma.
[00:35:07] But no, instead of doing that, they loaded up on the donations. I mean, I've talked about this, that Susie Wiles steered, the chief of staff there, she steered the whole Trump operation to the Bush model. Lie to your base, deceive your base, betray your base, and do what the big boys want, and then watch the campaign cash pour in. And the Republicans were bragging, oh God, we've got so much money. Money's not enough, folks.
[00:35:37] Not if you have betrayed your base. Money is not enough if you are seen in league with people who are not popular, who the public does think are corrupt, like Big Ag, like Big Pharma, like Big Tech. It's just three examples. 60,000 Microsoft workers giving a letter, I think they want to buy them out, but this is AI.
[00:36:05] 60,000, folks, maybe leaving Microsoft. People read these headlines, and then they hear Trump. Oh, AI is fantastic. If you're not for AI, I don't want you in my base. I don't know if he said that. I think he did kind of allude to that. I mean, that Trump is a base subtractor. He's all about subtracting people from his base, but it's just bizarre, folks. It's so bizarre. So bizarre. So that's the environment.
[00:36:34] And as I said, and it's an off-year election. It was already a bad environment before we even got started with all of the calculations of what's happened since the last presidential, as we go into the off-year election. So then you look at the candidates, because every one of these races are individual, even though the average person doesn't know who their congressman is, which is kind of a problem. For incumbent congressmen running for re-election, if the mood of the country is against their party,
[00:37:03] and particularly if the commander-in-chief is of their party, and the mood is against him, bad. Bad for the incumbent congressman. And the Democrats, folks, are fielding a lot of great candidates. I am sorry. I know you hear every day, particularly if you're into MAGA media, about El Syed. And every day about some of these loose caps out there that say stupid things and are not, in some ways, in the mainstream.
[00:37:31] El Syed may still win, by the way, in Michigan. But I actually predict he will win. But at least he's somebody who scares people in other places if he's not scaring enough people in Michigan. But that's not the typical Democrat candidate, folks. I mean, it's like down in Mississippi, they got this black guy. His dad was a big Republican, big Reagan guy as an African-American. The son is a squeaky clean Boy Scout prosecutor. People like him.
[00:37:59] He's got all kinds of Republicans locally endorsing him. This is the candidate against the U.S. Senator Hyde Smith, who's a zero, who's a non-attender, who didn't raise any money, who's not a conservative, more of a moderate. She's a zero, folks. She's not a good candidate, terrible candidate. They're in trouble in Mississippi because of this. And this is where the individualized nature of these races can also be a factor. I'm not saying she's going to lose.
[00:38:28] If the Republicans lose Mississippi, it could be across the board. It could be a total wipeout. And while that is potentially the case, I don't think that's what's going to happen. But anyway, the environment, terrible. Candidate matchup, Democrats doing pretty well. And the Democrats are being very disciplined, very disciplined. They are not going off the deep end on the Trump derangement syndrome. They're talking about lunch bucket issues.
[00:38:58] They're talking about economic issues. They're talking about people that can't afford to make their car payment. They can't afford to put the gas in their car to commute. They can't hack it from what they see at the grocery store. They can't go on a vacation. I mean, I was just out of the country, folks. Overseas and a lot of these resorts, it's a terrible situation.
[00:39:23] Trump's war has affected the energy prices, and that has affected so many other aspects. It trickled down to where even people overseas are being negatively affected if they depend on American tourists. Because the numbers are way down, because people are hurting, because people are scared, people are keeping their money close. It's not a good environment in any way politically.
[00:39:49] And if you believe that Republicans are going to overcome all of these things when they have no record, that's the next thing. What did they do? What did the Republican Congress do for you last year? They passed a big, beautiful bill, one of the biggest and most disgusting pork wagons, full of corruption on every level. Yes, it did have some tax cuts. Yes, it did give more money to ICE agents, who are still not doing mass deportations anyway.
[00:40:19] But that's it. Name anything else they even did. Name the investigations they did that led anywhere. It's terrible, folks. They got a terrible record. Environment bad. Candidate matchup bad. The issue set. Awful. Still got inflation. Energy prices still going up. Diesel super high. That goes right into the food prices. People are hurting. Uncertainty about AI.
[00:40:49] Uncertainty about whether they're going to get a data center in their area. That's moving up into the top 10 among a lot of pollsters and issues people are caring about. And Trump's all for data centers. He's also attacked anybody that is posing a data center. Folks, he's acted like an idiot on the campaign trail. He's acted like an idiot. Let's just be blunt about it. I mean, he has not helped this situation a bit. Medical prices are up. They're not down. They're up.
[00:41:17] A lot of the drug prices are up, not down. And Trump whacked the ability of 9 million Americans to get their drugs out of Canada. And when did he make that move? Two weeks ago. In the election season. This is a total disaster. Total disaster. So we talk about the polling. And there is some strange things going on with polling right now.
[00:41:40] There's three polling firms in the last week were exposed as complete phonies putting out phony polls for the left. As a social experiment. Lying. Just three polls. Wedgwood polling. SoCal strategies. I forgot the third one. Better not say. I'm not sure about it. But three of them. We've reported on this at securevote.news. You can go there and see all three. See news stories on all three of the firms. They've been exposed.
[00:42:07] So Mike Johnson, the speaker, and other Republican leaders are saying, see? See how corrupt these polls are? And they're also referring to the fact that Democrat polling firms have historically either lied about MAGA support or just had a hard time measuring it. Had a hard time getting MAGA people to admit that that's what they were.
[00:42:32] But the two pollsters who did the best at identifying MAGA voters and therefore have been the two most accurate pollsters since 2016 in America are Rich Barris and Mark Mitchell. Rich Barris, big data polling. Mark Mitchell used to be with Rasmussen. He's now on his own. They're both predicting a disaster. A disaster for the Republicans. They're not Democrat pollsters rigging things.
[00:42:59] So Mike Johnson, he's using a distractor with these corrupt actors that are out there. But no. And a lot of Democrat firms trying to and so-called nonpartisan firms trying to reestablish their bona fides in this election. There's evidence that they are undercounting Democrats. Undercounting Democrats, folks. So it's not true that you see this disaster coming through the polling and that that's all rigged.
[00:43:29] It's not true. That's a lie. Now, this is human behavior and anything can happen. And a lot of these seats, the House has been so gerrymandered for either Republican or Democrat seats that for the Democrats to flip as many seats as they're now in play, they're having to move 10, 12, 14 points in their direction away from the Republicans.
[00:43:57] And so a lot of these races are close because they shouldn't even be racist. Like in Mississippi. Like, I mean, you know, Graham, South Carolina. She might lose. Lindsey Graham's sister, Nordone or whatever her last name is. I forgot now. You know, she may lose in South Carolina, folks. If polls have her, even Trafalgar had her two points, I think behind or within two points. I mean, unbelievably close.
[00:44:27] So the Dems have had to move a long way to get there. But there are a ton of these House races and most of the Senate races are toss ups right now. But the wind is at the back of the Democrats. Democrats. So I believe and, you know, I'm not going to predict. I'm not going to get in too much detail here, folks. We'll have to see. But I think the Democrats will win the Senate. There will be two or three extra seats for them. I believe it. And I believe I still believe what I said the other day.
[00:44:59] That the Dems are going to win 20 to 30 seats and maybe 40 seats. Putting them, you know, between like 225 and 250. Upwards to 250 in the House. I think it's going to happen, folks.
[00:45:17] And that's with many, many of these races ending up Republicans retaining a seat or the Republicans in open seats winning of the now almost 80 races where there is competition in this country. I mean, it's unbelievable what's happened. So that's what I'm seeing. I think. I think.
[00:45:45] And, you know, we're going to talk more about what's going to happen after this election. I'm I saved. There were some other things I want to bring up in this episode, but I'm going to wait till after the election. Then we know exactly what we got and we can talk about it. But there's going to be a reckoning on the right, folks. And a clarification.
[00:46:08] And there's going to be a hunger for people who do want to save this country to be more dedicated to that and more efficient in what they do. So we're going to talk more about that. Down the road. But our establishment, our corporate masters have done most of their chicanery by being in control of both political parties.
[00:46:34] And in 1952, they almost lost control of the Republican Party to Robert Taft. In 1964, they had to destroy Barry Goldwater in the media because he did take control of the Republican Party away from the establishment. And it appeared that that's what was happening with Trump. But what is obvious to me, this is all I mean, there's a lot of issues, mass deportations. There's many issues.
[00:47:00] But folks, most of this is the war and the war was an Israeli op. And a APEC Israel lobby op. And the war has divided the base and has probably destroyed, at least for the moment, all of the gains that were made in the America First movement.
[00:47:25] And their objective is, of course, to return the Republicans to nice, safe corporate Republicans who probably lose every future election forever as the demographics start really hurting the Republicans as these old white boomers die. And they're replaced by a new voter file that is not nearly as white as the older one. Replacement. Replacement.
[00:47:53] The replacement theory as applied to the voter file. So. That's what we're looking at, folks, in my opinion. I mean, we'll see. We'll see. A lot of these Senate races are very close now, like in Alaska. Mary Peltola, I think, was on her way to victory. But I'm going to give you a little inside baseball, folks. She pissed off some people in the Democrat Party. It's the New York Times. Is that's bringing her down.
[00:48:23] This is a Senate candidate in Alaska that was heading, trending up in the polls and heading for victory against the incumbent Republican Senator Dan Sullivan. But two hit pieces now against Peltola just before an election in the New York Times. When do they ever do that? To the Dems. So for whatever reason, I think the powers that be don't want her in there.
[00:48:52] And I know she's upset at people that planned parenthood. Anyway, I don't we don't have time to get into it, but that's a strange one. And she may end up not winning because they are really pouring it on against her since she benefited in the same way that Governor Spencer Cox did here in Utah. By having somebody running in the election that has a similar name or if not almost the identical name of her main opponent.
[00:49:19] So we'll see what happens to Peltola. Nothing happened to Spencer Cox in Utah, but we'll see, folks. We'll see what happens on election night and thereafter. This is Hour of Decision. My name is Lou Moore, and I will talk to you again next week.
