Welcome into another edition of the Josh Hendrickson show here on MPW Digital.

I'm Neil McCready, joined as always by the chair of the economics department at the University of Mississippi.

One Dr. Josh Hendrickson. Josh, how are you, sir?

I'm doing great.

Appreciate you being here. Happy November.

Hope you had a good Halloween halloween some trick or treating

you rob some candy no what i will say like one of the things that i love about oxford is

is the same you know literally anywhere in the United States,

everywhere I've ever been. So it's 6 to 8. And what always happens is about 515. People are just like,

who don't agree with this administration would like to see this administration ousted one way or the

other essentially said it's bullshit i don't believe it agree with this administration would like to see this administration ousted one way or the other

essentially said it's bullshit i don't believe it to which some of the people who lean left

and like this administration were like what what don't you believe is this another conspiracy theory

why don't you believe it give me some examples and it led into this debate and i said hey i'll ask

josh about this i'm curious these numbers come out some people don't like them some people love
