Welcome into episode 29 of the Josh Hendrickson show here on MPW Digital.

I'm Neil McCready, joined as always by the star of this show, Josh Hendrickson, the chair of economics at the University of Mississippi.

It's Wednesday, October the 9th.

Hope everyone's having a good hump day, middle of the week

as we get closer to a big football weekend and all that.

But take a little break from all the football talk here

to talk about a different horse race.

We got T-minus four weeks on the presidential election.

And, and the problem is that, like, what she's trying to do is she's trying to. I wasn't in charge, but thank God I was. Okay. Yeah. That's. Yeah. I mean, that's, that's, that's kind of what they're doing, right? They, they, whenever there's something bad about the Biden administration, it's like, that was Joe Biden. I didn't have anything to do with that. Right. This is, you know, and then, um, Biden, by the way, has not gotten that memo. No. And, and, but then, you know, when it's a good thing, then she's like, well, I was right there, you know, holding hands with Joe.
