| 0:00.0 | Rumors swirl about whether Joe Biden will drop out of the 2024 race as the economy continues to teeter. |
| 0:05.1 | The Ukraine war looks to be sinking into an irresolvable quagmire and Donald Trump heads to UFC and Dairy Queen. |

| 0:21.4 | So I've said that every election is essentially a referendum on one candidate or the other |
| 0:26.1 | candidate. And the going assumption, including by people like me, has been that if the |
| 0:30.1 | 2024 race is between Donald Trump and Joe Biden, that the election will actually be a referendum |
| 0:34.2 | on Trump because Trump is so toxic in terms of the media, because independents generally don't like Donald Trump, because we've already run this race |
| 0:40.1 | at least one time before. And Donald Trump is not a wildly popular candidate with the American |
| 0:44.2 | people. His unfavorable ratings are really, really high. But the 2024 race due to exogenous |
| 0:50.1 | events, due to the bad governance of Joe Biden, could in fact turn into the 2016 race rather than |
| 0:55.6 | the 2020 race. And this looks increasingly like a very serious possibility. So in 2016, the entire |
| 1:01.5 | media, me included, thought that the election was going to be a referendum on Trump because he |
| 1:05.5 | was so spectacularly interesting because all the spotlights were on him rather than on Hillary |
| 1:09.2 | Clinton. And what everybody, including me, ignored, is that the election was actually a referendum on Hillary Clinton. People would not show up to vote for her. Now, take a look at the Trump versus Biden race. I was looking at polls over the weekend. I'm spending some time with them. And it's fascinating because the chief pitch for Ron DeSantis versus Donald Trump for a long time was electability. |
| 1:30.7 | Ron DeSantis would be more electable than Donald Trump because Ron DeSantis does better with independence because women aren't off put by him because he hasn't run two races before |
| 1:35.1 | in which he won less than 47% of the national vote. |
| 1:38.5 | However, however, all of the national polls right now have Trump not only within striking |
| 1:43.3 | distance of Joe Biden. Many of the polls have Trump not only within striking distance of Joe Biden. |
| 1:45.3 | Many of the polls have Trump on top of Joe Biden in these polls. |
| 1:48.2 | Right now, the Real Clear Politics polling average puts Donald Trump at 44.1% and Joe Biden at 43.5%. |
