Summary

The Rich Zeoli Show- Hour 3:

5:00pm- Brent Buchanan—President & Founder of Cygnal (a polling and analytics firm)—joins The Rich Zeoli Show to breakdown where polling in the 2024 Presidential Election currently stands and what it ultimately means on election day. Buchanan was recently quoted in a Daily Wire article, “What You’re Not Hearing About Trump’s Resilience Versus Harris, As Told By A Pollster.” You can read the article here: https://www.dailywire.com/news/what-youre-not-hearing-about-trumps-resilience-versus-harris-as-told-by-a-pollster. And you can learn more about Cygnal here: https://www.cygn.al/about/

5:20pm- Realtor Leigh Thomas Brown—a real estate expert with 24-years of experience in the housing industry—used social media to warn voters about Kamala Harris’s three-step housing plan which consists of rent control, “free” down payment money to potential buyers, and the construction of 3 million new housing units via the federal government.

5:40pm- Times Demand Serious Economic Ideas: In response to Kamala Harris’s announced “price gouging” policy proposal, The Washington Post editorial board writes: “Vice President Kamala Harris’s speech Friday was an opportunity to get specific with voters about how a Harris presidency would manage an economy that many feel is not working well for them. Unfortunately, instead of delivering a substantial plan, she squandered the moment on populist gimmicks…Ms. Harris says she’ll target companies that make ‘excessive’ profits, whatever that means. (It’s hard to see how groceries, a notoriously low-margin business, would qualify.) Thankfully, this gambit by Ms. Harris has been met with almost instant skepticism, with many critics citing President Richard M. Nixon’s failed price controls from the 1970s. Whether the Harris proposal wins over voters remains to be seen, but if sound economic analysis still matters, it won’t.” You can read the full editorial here: https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2024/08/16/harris-economy-plan-gimmicks/
