. >> j.d. vance, author of "hillbilly elegy." you know, you have bannon who's not from alabama coming in several times, campaigning hard, even one of the spokespeople, i think her name was janet turner for roy moore, is from ohio. skb >> sure. >> yeah, so i think it shows the us versus them is more about cultural identification and not necessarily about where you're from. obviously, the most obvious example of this is the president himself, who's a new york billionaire, but really did find a lot of cultural affinity with a lot of these working class white voters, who saw him as their instrument to go and attack the elites. and i think if roy moore is able to pull out this election tonight, the story we'll be telling ourselves that roy moore in the same way that donald trump was, was the instrument for a lot of people, even though they didn't necessarily like him, even though they weren't exactly enthusiastic about his candidacy, he sent a message to people they didn't like. >> paul, what are you seeing in this exit polling? >> if

j.d. vance wrote this book called "hillbilly eulogies about the upper working class. he pointed out the study that was done at m.i. ticht and harv that talked about the opioid crisis. there's a direct correlation between the factories that left, the jobs that left, the workers left behind and the opioid addiction crisis. you folks know that. you go out in these communities in the upper midwest. we're losing a civilization. we're losing a civic society that has been built over many generations. that's on our watch. that's why trump won. when i came to the campaign, i think it was mid august, 16 points down, double digits in the battleground states. all these numbers were horrific. we had a talk it didn't matter. the underlying numbers thought the country was on the wrong track. but the most important number, 75% of the american people thought america was in decline. and here's the fundamental difference. the elites are comfortable with that. they are comfortable by managing our decline. because they're going to make just as much money on the way down as they made on th

if you've read the book "hillbilly elegy" by j.d. vance, his life would not be totally different for the kids we deal with every day. in fact, last year, when the because he knew i had a helping hand fund, code for easy cash, and told me about a student with unusual needs, and i asked what is it,? what is so different? we're usually paying for dental work in surgery and travel and clothes and things like that. the fact of the matter was that this kid's dad was in the penitentiary and's mother had died, and he didn't have enough money to bury his own mother. so i asked, how much is that? i was told about $3000. ozarksege of the actually paid to bury a student's mother. that may not mean much to you, but it meant a whole lot to that who is now aated, teacher. withal with a lot of kids family needs. it takes a very personal environment to help kids like that, having come from a dysfunctional home myself, and having run were colleges for 40 years, i can tell you everything cannot be solved with the computer. sometimes it takes a personal touch
