Transcript
- 0:03Here's your host, Alex Garrett. It's January twentieth, which means this.
- 0:11It means a year from today, someone will put their hand on the Bible
- 0:17and take the oath of office for the President of the United States. Yes,
- 0:21we are into campaign twenty twenty four. We are into election season.
- 0:28Iowa was just last week. Obviously, Trump romped the crowd and led it
- 0:33to a couple of exits from the campaign from their own campaigns like Vivic and
- 0:38ASA Hutchinson. I mean, that's really breaking news. Anyway, on the
- 0:42twenty of each month, I'd like to give you a breakdown of where,
- 0:46what, when or why and who is winning where in this cycle, and
- 0:53then the polling, especially the polling as we get toward November. What is
- 0:59it, November No Member fifth, twenty twenty four. But till then,
- 1:06we've got a lot to go. We've got a few trial case trials that
- 1:10Trump has to overcome. We have an economy that needs to be turned around.
- 1:15We have a lot of work to do. We got to see how
- 1:19Congress acts during this twenty twenty four We've been hab to see how the Fed
- 1:23acts during this election cycle, and mainly we have to see if Joe Biden
- 1:29is still a present by Midsummer twenty twenty four, and if somebody, you
- 1:36know, if he falls ill, or the party somehow does a switcheroo and
- 1:41has a Michelle Obama or has Gavin you some imposition to run for president in
- 1:46twenty twenty four, I, if you had a gun to my head right
- 1:51now, I don't think Joe Biden will be anywhere near the ballot on November
- 1:57fifth, twenty twenty four. But I could be wrong. I could be
- 2:01wrong. Well, we'll have to see. But until then, until all
- 2:06that shakes out, we're gonna just get you some polling. We're gonna get
- 2:08some numbers each month leading up to January twenty twenty twenty five, when,
- 2:16as I mentioned before, the just a little bit before that, that's when
- 2:23the next president or the current president will put his hand on the Bible or
- 2:28her hand on the Bible and swear to the oath of office at the United
- 2:34States Capitol. Yeah, we're heading toward innauguration Day twenty twenty five. It'll
- 2:38be here before we know it. But let me get you a couple of
- 2:42polls right now, and tell me what you think. To lead off this
- 2:46campaign in twenty twenty four series on One Leg Up with Alex Garrett. Let's
- 2:52quickly turn to two seventy to win dot com, which is saying that as
- 2:57of right now, nationally Trump hass as a one percent lead over Biden one
- 3:05percent forty five to forty four percent uh nationally. That was just taken yesterday
- 3:12as a matter of fact. And what they do is they take the average
- 3:16of the five polls including you gov, Redfield and Wilton Morning Consult, CBS,
- 3:24you gov and basically they're averaging that Trump, yes, has a bigger
- 3:31lead than Biden. And number of these polls, number of these polls,
- 3:40and of course you know on this series maybe we have they even include McLaughlin.
- 3:49I like that they even include McLaughlin. How about that that says right
- 3:53now, as of a December twenty twenty three, Trump had a couple of
- 3:59percentage point lead over Biden. So all signs are that no matter the legal
- 4:08issues are the indictments of the trouble, President Trump is ahead here, which
- 4:14is gonna be a factor. We're gonna see how the DOJ, how the
- 4:20President, the Biden minstrician handles it. And clearly we're seeing that states want
- 4:26him off the ballot, including mainly Colorado and Maine. Those are the two
- 4:31big ones so far. New York delegates are trying to get them off the
- 4:34primary ballot as well. But I'm gonna link to two seventy two win dot
- 4:41com and you can find out more about what they're doing in their run up
- 4:45to January twentieth, twenty twenty five, and in the run up to November
- 4:49fifth, twenty twenty four. Look, do I like talking politics anymore?
- 4:54No? But the honest to god truth is there is an election in play
- 4:58this year. We all know it, twenty but do you know the polling?
- 5:00Do you know what's going on with that? No? Well, I'm
- 5:03gonna bring it to you and each and every month on the twentieth day of
- 5:09each month, because I do think. I do think once again on our
- 5:15future is at stake. I know it sounds cliche, but I believe that
- 5:18whoever takes present next has to clean up this mess. And the biggest mess
- 5:25they have to clean up, obviously, is the border crisis. That's the
- 5:28first big task they have to handle, and a lot of people, I
- 5:32believe, think Trump can do it better. I mean, look, the
- 5:36Biden administration tried to erase the border wall. Turns out they had to go
- 5:40and build back some of that wall. Didn't really help the migrant crisis much.
- 5:45But the point is is, yes, the Biden administration had to keep
- 5:47sub of those policies in place that that Trump administration left in And then another
- 5:57factor. Did you see what's going on? And I hate to say it
- 6:00to kick off this campaign trail, but this could be campaign series and this
- 6:03election series on one lego, but this is unbelievable. Did you see in
- 6:09China this week? Did you see in China this week that they are testing
- 6:15another COVID nineteen strain. Chinese researcher submitted a COVID virus sequence two weeks before
- 6:28China made the data public. It's happening again. Are we aware that the
- 6:32Chinese government is again holding back on COVID virus information? Is it possible that
- 6:41another Wuhanian leak can happen to disrupt this election cycle again? I know it's
- 6:49only January twentieth, but guess what, I have a bit of trauma from
- 6:54March twenty twenty and the whole shutdown. Don't you one? You want to
- 6:59know if China was working on something like this again, and why are they
- 7:06and why are they? The United States National Institute of Health set in response
- 7:13to a House and Energy Committee investigation that Chinese virologists lily ran some inde sequence
- 7:19on December. This is back in twenty nineteen. This was the first strain,
- 7:28and they held back that information back then. But COVID twenty but they
- 7:33were doing testing recently cloning this is the one I want to tell you.
- 7:45Cloning COVID like virus to test on mice had acknowledged a spillover rate risk to
- 7:51humans. In a report by research under collaborative between China and Mongolia, scientists
- 8:01explained the virus is a strain of coronavirus, and they clone the virus and
- 8:07they test it on mice. This underscores a spill of a risk of gxp
- 8:16twov into humans and provide a unique model for understanding the pathologic pathogenic mechanism.
- 8:24But the point is China is again testing again, like four years ago,
- 8:30testing this, and I think we shall be a little nervous. We should
- 8:35be a little worried that they're coming up with these measles in these different health
- 8:41outbreaks that could affect some governmental deficisions on what to shut down, what to
- 8:46keep open. I mean, the shutdown rhetoric is in play here again.
- 8:50Sadly in this election year. Doesn't it feel like that? Doesn't it feel
- 8:54like that to you? That's why a year from now is so pivotal that
- 9:03I do believe the Democrats are going to pull out all stops and the Republican
- 9:07is just going to go along with it, saying, oh, well,
- 9:09you know, we can't really rock the boat. And I admire the work
- 9:13of Speaker Johnson here, but he's got to remember it's an election year too.
- 9:18You've got to make them tie border security funding to the A to Ukraine
- 9:24and Israel. You've got to. You've got to be tough. Even if
- 9:28you don't feel like you can't push him, you got to. It'll look
- 9:33better for the party as we are into twenty twenty four. But at the
- 9:41end of the day, I think I do think the Georgia case is going
- 9:46to make a big difference in this election. I also happen to think that
- 9:50Trump will too. Trump will make himself either look better or worse in this
- 9:58year. And if you just talked to facts and talked about how the Biden
- 10:05demestrition is failing at every corner. I mean, yes, we're still here
- 10:09today. But the fact is our city cannot handle the thousands of migrants that
- 10:15have come in. The city cannot handle a Biden versus Adams war right now.
- 10:20That's not what the city needs. The city needs a federal support.
- 10:22And you know what, if I'm Trump, I say, or if I'm
- 10:24a Eddy candidate, I say, hey, guess what, New York I
- 10:28see where you're going through. You're the epicenter right now in this migrant crisis,
- 10:31and guess what. Guess what We're gonna be by your side. We
- 10:37will not turn away on Eric, turn our back on Eric Adams. We
- 10:39will not investigate your mayor when we are scrutinized. If we are scrutinized by
- 10:46him, we will continue to work with him. That's the message that these
- 10:50candidates need to send to New York City that we are gonna work with Mayor
- 10:54Adams. The message we get from the White House right now is, oh,
- 10:56you're gonna criticize us, Let's go after the FBI, Let's see some
- 11:01phones he here, and let's get some investigations going that we're never done before.
- 11:07And whether you like Adams or not, you have to believe that there's
- 11:13a bit of a hunt going on because he is calling out the White House
- 11:16directly. Biden didn't even meet with Adams in September during the UN General Assembly
- 11:24week. That didn't happen, and nor has any real help from the federal
- 11:31government happened as well. So we could deal with what his relationship is with
- 11:35Kathley Hokeel and the state's help or non help. But if we're talking about
- 11:41twenty twenty four, we've got to say what can it can message properly to
- 11:46the City of New York, Hey, I will work with you to get
- 11:48this migrant crisis under control and not turn our back on New York City.
- 11:54We will not turn New York City. Tell New York City to drop dead.
- 11:58That's the message that needs to be conveyed in the local sense by this
- 12:03presidential election. And we'll see if it gets done. We'll see if it
- 12:09gets done. But again, two seventy to win dot com, I'm wanna
- 12:13drop that. You could check the polls out and then every month we'll come
- 12:16back with a little review, Maybe get some polling experts on the show.
- 12:20The one leg up with Alex Garrett podcast network and uh and do more as
- 12:26we had. As I say, this generation needs to know before they go
- 12:31to the polls what the deal is, where the voting is, what's the
- 12:37the policy shaping up to be from these candidates. And if I'm if I'm
- 12:43biding running, I can't promise to be the same old, same old.
- 12:48It's got to be fixed. There's got to be a lot of fixing that
- 12:52has to happen that I don't think the Biders station will do because they're worried
- 12:56about the far left contingent voting again. They're so worried about votes that,
- 13:03yes, did you know that there was a provision in this city to allow
- 13:09migrants to vote that was rejected. That's how extreme the left is getting.
- 13:16And in twenty twenty five, I personally cannot want a Democrat to put his
- 13:22hand or her hand on that Bible unless they are common sense, which Biden
- 13:30clearly has not been during this whole crisis, during this whole inflation situation we're
- 13:37going through, during this whole thing where gas prices have gone up, I
- 13:43mean a lot of things have gone up. Grocery prices alone have gone up
- 13:48in this administration. So I believe to keep America on the right track and
- 13:56put it back on the right track, I should say twenty twenty four is
- 14:00crucial. That's why on this day in twenty twenty five, hopefully the right
- 14:07person puts their hand on that Bible at high noon. At high noon.
- 14:18Gonna be an interesting year. We'll be covering for you every twentieth of the
- 14:22month right up until the run of January twentieth, twenty twenty five, and
- 14:26of course Election Day November fifth, twenty twenty four, will be covering it,
- 14:33getting polsters and everything like that, and seeing what we can do to
- 14:37inform you the best we can on this network. It's election season, baby,
- 14:45Let's get ready. Talk to you soon.
