| 0:00.0 | Hey, it's Jamie to tell you about a great deal from my friend Lance and his guys at L.D. Smith Plumbing ever run out of hot water halfway through a shower? It's not fun. That's why I love tankless water heaters. They give you endless hot water, lower energy bills, and take up way less space. And right now, L.D. Smith is giving you $1,500 off tankless water heaters through the end of the month. |
| 0:21.7 | Give Lance a call 317-927-7-1-186 or give them a visit online, L.D. Smithplumbing.com to schedule today. |
| 0:32.5 | Okay, so there's some new polling out on Trump, and it's not great. |
| 0:37.9 | Yeah, it says his approval rating has fallen to 38%, which is the lowest of his second term. |
| 0:43.2 | This is a Reuters Ipsos poll. |
| 0:45.4 | Okay, so we had talked about, you know, we always say this with polling. |
| 0:48.6 | Polling is just a snapshot of a moment in time. |
| 0:51.7 | You put it together. |
| 0:52.6 | It's like a flip book, like making a cartoon, |
| 0:54.8 | right? And that kind of gives you an idea seen, you know, over, you know, months of information. |

| 1:14.8 | polls that have him below 40 percent and you're starting to see in that flip book of consistent |
| 1:19.7 | polling picture that it's not people are fewer and fewer people are happy what the job Trump is doing |
| 1:25.4 | yeah so the decline is driven by people's dissatisfaction with the high cost of living |

| 1:44.0 | Your camera is froze, by the way. Mine is? I'll let you know that. At least you're not doing anything embarrassing on the shot. So we'll try to fix that during the break.
