is that when you have john solomon coming out last thursday or friday with this about some of these accusersey. their mortgages being paid off. there's a big problem there. and the american people have the ability to understand that. while it is sensational for us to talk about it and the it's definitely an issue that we're facing right now in this country and i think it's good that the conversation is front and terror, at the end of the day, when people go into that voting booth, what they vote on are things that affect them personally. we just saw historic tax reform pass and if president trump does what he says he is going to do. he is the one person who's campaigned on these things, if he continues to do and that talk about the american workers and the american people and what he's going to do for them, i think in february when they start seeing more money in their paychecks and the economy is jump-started, i think that is what is going to drive people in the polls when they make their decision at the ballot box. i think ultimately, that is what matters. >> all right. i want to listen to
