by the grace of God, it is finally Friday. Welcome to it, the final hour of the show. Ken Paxton, who is a AG for the state of Tex, joins at the bottom of the hour. He's also running for Senate down there, by the way, against John Cornyn, polling leading the polls and Wesley Hunt, another candidate in Tejas. So we'll talk to him at the bottom of the hour. If you want to chime in on the radio program, we do have a phone number. Here it is, 800-922-6680. It doesn't spell anything really. 800-922-6680. Just remember the number. Like Russia's number. Remember Russia's number. I'm not going to say it because I want to confuse you, but yeah, literally it took me years to memorize that number. It did. But 800-922-6680 is the number if you want to chime in the radio program. The the speech Donald Trump delivered the other night was widely enjoyed by a lot of people. This is the report from cnn that said the direction of the country, people agreed. The people, the number of people who agreed with the direction Donald Trump's taking the country increased 10 points during the broadcast, have walked away from his speeches thinking he's going to move it in the right direction. So a lot of red meat for the base. Yeah, there's no, no doubt about it. Among speechwatchers tonight, 64% say his policies will move the US in the right direction. And look at the growth President Trump made over the speech. So pre speech it was 54% of speech watchers said his policies will move the US in the right direction. After the speech, that number goes up 10%. Yeah. Now, as the year progresses and as more successes take place and as the economy continues to grow and as people, for instance, we're just now getting tax returns, starting to show some major money that people are getting, then this number is going to grow. You know, I said before the election, I said 80% of us believe the country is headed in the wrong direction. 80% of us can come together to save her. That's it. Right now you've got that same 8020 split in the democrat party. 80% of the democrat Party is not down, is for voter id, by the way. Close to that number are against boys competing in girl Sports. And there's 20% of Democrats who are largely in positions of power throughout the country who are recipients of money from NGOs, political PACs and whatnot. Those are the, the 20%. So there's an 8020 split. And now look what we've got. We've got a 65, 35 split between people who think that Donald Trump is taking the country in the right direction versus wrong direction. What happens when that becomes 80:20? What happens when that becomes 80 20? Because that's the direction we're headed in right now. After that speech the other night, it went up 10 points. You don't think that, you know, this, this economy as it continues to grow, as, as inflation continues to flatline, as people start bringing home more money, you don't think that's going to bode well for adding to that number, that 64 to 36 split, making that 80 20. If that's the case, then the midterms are going to be am absolutely amazing. That said James Carville. James Carville is at this point kind of bananas. I've followed James Carville for a number of years, since he was a Clinton advisor and, you know, a firebrand and all of that. But he's completely off his rocker at this point, he's just an angry, bitter old man. I remember he wrote a book about Democrats being in Power for 40 years. He's been wrong about everything. Since the Clinton years, he's been wrong about everything. I don't even understand why people listen to him. It's like Karl Rove generally wrong about most everything. Mike Pence wrong about everything. A lot of people are wrong about everything. I don't know how they continue to do what they do if they're in punditry or whatever. But James Carville wrote this book. The Democrats are going to be in power for 40 years. And then immediately after the publication of the book, Barack Obama lost both houses of Congress. And if I were, you know, that wrong, I would be kind of ashamed to show my face in public like, you know, Joe Scarborough after he said that Joe Biden was at his mentally most fit and he's still on television. He said, now listen here. And I don't give a crap what you think. Joe Biden is the smartest and the brightest he's ever been and all that. You never show your face again. Right. Not the case with James Carville. Here is James Carville talking about the State of the Union. He absolutely hated it.
