Our side has concluded that we are going to lose and in a massive landslide, and they are already making plans for recriminations after the election.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;A bunch of people you never heard of are preparing to sort out the blame and responsibility for those who made this all possible.&nbsp; And I\u2019ll give you three guesses who they are zeroing in on. That\u2019s right, my friends, your beloved host is to blame for all of this.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I have no idea who\u2019s gonna win. I don\u2019t have the slightest bit of inside information, and I don\u2019t feel confident giving you a straight up and down opinion on this. There\u2019s too much we don\u2019t know. There are too many things that we have learned that make me question all kinds of conventional wisdom.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Strictly within the bounds of politics, Obama\u2019s anger, his paranoia, this rant here at a small section of the media that doesn\u2019t buy hook, line, and sinker whatever he says bothers him to such an extent that it\u2019s really curious to me.&#8221;&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The WikiLeaks document dump has produced an email from Podesta with go-to instructions on how to create polls that show an overwhelming Democrat majority for the express purpose of dispiriting and depressing Republican opposition.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I have yet to run into anybody that\u2019s for Hillary. And, by the way, I go a lot of places where it\u2019s not exclusively Republican or conservative. I still can\u2019t run into anybody who doesn\u2019t desperately want Trump to win.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;People say to me, &#8216;Does the media really have this much power? Does the media really have that much influence?\u2019 I answer, I always answer, &#8216;Yes, they do.'&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We have to look at the population as a whole in determining media influence. There\u2019s a whole lot of people even now who are paying attention to this with 40, 50%, and the other half, they\u2019re out doing other things. They don\u2019t dig deep. They just hear what\u2019s reported in the Drive-By Media.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;AP is the primary news source for I\u2019d say 80% of low-information voters. AP leads at Yahoo News. AP leads at Facebook. AP leads on Twitter, this kind of stuff.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;When Obama shows up to campaign he can\u2019t stop talking about conservative media. Here\u2019s a guy who has mastered and succeeded with practically every agenda item that he had to one degree or another, and he\u2019s not even happy. He\u2019s still bent out of shape that I\u2019m here. He\u2019s still bent out of shape that there\u2019s a Fox News. He\u2019s still bent out of shape that there\u2019s a conservative media.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Do the Democrats need WikiLeaks? They don\u2019t. They\u2019ve got their own Drive-By Media.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;If Podesta and the gang hacked, say, Trump computers or Republican National Committee computers, they don\u2019t need to go to WikiLeaks. They just need to call the New York Times. They just need to call ABC News, the Washington Post, you name it.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Obama is obsessed. This guy ought to be sitting on top of the world, folks. He ought to be sitting on top of the world. The Republican nominee for president is about to be vanquished in one of the biggest landslides in the history of this country, right? And yet this guy is obsessed. This guy is obsessed with what critics are saying about him.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Nothing in this WikiLeaks dump has ever been denied, folks. The only thing the Democrats say is you can\u2019t trust it because the Russians produced it and that it\u2019s illegal.&#8221;&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I\u2019m feeling odd because normally whenever we get together I am certain about most everything I tell you. When I have an opinion on something, it\u2019s an opinion and it\u2019s rock solid and I firmly believe it 100%. I\u2019m not used to not knowing. I\u2019m not used to not being confident of what I think. I don\u2019t know how this is gonna turn out.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I still haven\u2019t endorsed anybody in this campaign, are you aware of that?&nbsp; I still haven\u2019t!&nbsp; I may be the last person in the country that hasn\u2019t endorsed somebody.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;My instincts have always made me question polls, and for the most basic of reasons, like I question the Nielsen TV ratings. It\u2019s just my common sense. I understand that they can scientifically quantify and analyze all they want, but I remain curious. You want to tell me that a thousand people in this country with little boxes on their TVs can tell us what millions of people are actually watching.&#8221;<\/p>\n<line xmlns:tmp=\"http:\/\/ez.no\/namespaces\/ezpublish3\/temporary\/\">&#8220;The Republican Party simple does not know how to win and doesn\u2019t know what to do when they do win.&#8221;<\/line><line xmlns:tmp=\"http:\/\/ez.no\/namespaces\/ezpublish3\/temporary\/\">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/line><line xmlns:tmp=\"http:\/\/ez.no\/namespaces\/ezpublish3\/temporary\/\">&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;<\/line>\n<\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8220;I don\u2019t think I have ever seen anything like we are witnessing today where our side has already conceded defeat.&#8221;&nbsp; &#8220;Our side has given up.
