Of course, Donald Trump is going to win the US election, of course he is.
I've been saying that since July on this programme, not that anyone will listen to me.
He would have also whipped Biden like a bottle of cream.
Too many Americans are hurting with the cost of living, and that's all the motivation you need really to get out and vote, isn't it?
Republicans are doing it early in record numbers, which they don't normally do, including in the swing states.
In Georgia, half of the 8 million eligible voters there went early, which is astonishing.
They also included 700,000 people who never voted in 2020.
Now, why would they be voting this time around?
You could say it might be the fact it's a, you know, a female or woman of colour that they're wanting to elect, but the polls show the more likely motivation is financial.

Of course Donald Trump is going to win the US election.
Of course he is. I've been saying that since July
on this program, not that anyone will listen to me.
He would have also, by the way, would have whipped
Biden like a bottle of cream. Too many Americans are
hurting with the cost of living, and that's all the
motivation you need really to get out and vote, isn't it.
Republicans are doing it early in record numbers, which they
(00:20):
don't normally do, including in the swing states. In Georgia,
half of the eight million eligible voters there went early,
which is astonishing. They also included seven hundred thousand people
who never voted in twenty twenty. Now, why would they
be voting this time around? You could say it might
be the fact it's a female, a woman of color,
(00:40):
that they wanted to elect, but the polls show the
more likely motivation is financial. You feel poor, pissed off,
and you vote the current lot out, be it Biden
or Harris. Plus, Harris hasn't helped herself swearing black and
blue that Biden nomics is working when people know in
their pockets that it's not blindly defending Biden's mental state
(01:01):
despite everyone thinking he's gone do Lali and it's sort
of reminiscent actually that of just Cindra A Durn. Remember
here she refused to call the cost of living crisis
a crisis, despite the fact it's like the toughest economic
period in a generation. It enrages people when you do that,
and calling Trump a Nazi or a fascist isn't going
(01:21):
to stop him, because people don't vote for Trump because
he's a saint. Do they Add to that the fact
that the markets are pricing in a Trump victory, the
fact he always does better on election day than in
the polls because his voters don't like polsters, and that
while he's not ahead in the popular vote, his polling
now is higher at the stage of the campaign than
(01:42):
when he won in twenty sixteen. Add those things together
you have a pretty strong case. I think that Donald
Trump is going to take back the White House this week.

The Burden
The Burden is a documentary series that takes listeners into the hidden places where justice is done (and undone). It dives deep into the lives of heroes and villains. And it focuses a spotlight on those who triumph even when the odds are against them. Season 5 - The Burden: Death & Deceit in Alliance On April Fools Day 1999, 26-year-old Yvonne Layne was found murdered in her Alliance, Ohio home. David Thorne, her ex-boyfriend and father of one of her children, was instantly a suspect. Another young man admitted to the murder, and David breathed a sigh of relief, until the confessed murderer fingered David; “He paid me to do it.” David was sentenced to life without parole. Two decades later, Pulitzer winner and podcast host, Maggie Freleng (Bone Valley Season 3: Graves County, Wrongful Conviction, Suave) launched a “live” investigation into David's conviction alongside Jason Baldwin (himself wrongfully convicted as a member of the West Memphis Three). Maggie had come to believe that the entire investigation of David was botched by the tiny local police department, or worse, covered up the real killer. Was Maggie correct? Was David’s claim of innocence credible? In Death and Deceit in Alliance, Maggie recounts the case that launched her career, and ultimately, “broke” her.” The results will shock the listener and reduce Maggie to tears and self-doubt. This is not your typical wrongful conviction story. In fact, it turns the genre on its head. It asks the question: What if our champions are foolish? Season 4 - The Burden: Get the Money and Run “Trying to murder my father, this was the thing that put me on the path.” That’s Joe Loya and that path was bank robbery. Bank, bank, bank, bank, bank. In season 4 of The Burden: Get the Money and Run, we hear from Joe who was once the most prolific bank robber in Southern California, and beyond. He used disguises, body doubles, proxies. He leaped over counters, grabbed the money and ran. Even as the FBI was closing in. It was a showdown between a daring bank robber, and a patient FBI agent. Joe was no ordinary bank robber. He was bright, articulate, charismatic, and driven by a dark rage that he summoned up at will. In seven episodes, Joe tells all: the what, the how… and the why. Including why he tried to murder his father. Season 3 - The Burden: Avenger Miriam Lewin is one of Argentina’s leading journalists today. At 19 years old, she was kidnapped off the streets of Buenos Aires for her political activism and thrown into a concentration camp. Thousands of her fellow inmates were executed, tossed alive from a cargo plane into the ocean. Miriam, along with a handful of others, will survive the camp. Then as a journalist, she will wage a decades long campaign to bring her tormentors to justice. Avenger is about one woman’s triumphant battle against unbelievable odds to survive torture, claim justice for the crimes done against her and others like her, and change the future of her country. Season 2 - The Burden: Empire on Blood Empire on Blood is set in the Bronx, NY, in the early 90s, when two young drug dealers ruled an intersection known as “The Corner on Blood.” The boss, Calvin Buari, lived large. He and a protege swore they would build an empire on blood. Then the relationship frayed and the protege accused Calvin of a double homicide which he claimed he didn’t do. But did he? Award-winning journalist Steve Fishman spent seven years to answer that question. This is the story of one man’s last chance to overturn his life sentence. He may prevail, but someone’s gotta pay. The Burden: Empire on Blood is the director’s cut of the true crime classic which reached #1 on the charts when it was first released half a dozen years ago. Season 1 - The Burden In the 1990s, Detective Louis N. Scarcella was legendary. In a city overrun by violent crime, he cracked the toughest cases and put away the worst criminals. “The Hulk” was his nickname. Then the story changed. Scarcella ran into a group of convicted murderers who all say they are innocent. They turned themselves into jailhouse-lawyers and in prison founded a lway firm. When they realized Scarcella helped put many of them away, they set their sights on taking him down. And with the help of a NY Times reporter they have a chance. For years, Scarcella insisted he did nothing wrong. But that’s all he’d say. Until we tracked Scarcella to a sauna in a Russian bathhouse, where he started to talk..and talk and talk. “The guilty have gone free,” he whispered. And then agreed to take us into the belly of the beast. Welcome to The Burden.
