Hello from Washington, I'm Chuck Todd,

and I'm Chuck Todd, and this is the Chuck Todd cast.

So, I know what you're thinking.

It's the day after the big verdict.

Well I have plenty to say about that in a second.

My guest today is John Ellis.

He's the author of a simple but elegant newsletter on sub-stack called Political News items.

Among the features of John's work is a recurring franchise he puts together with Tom Smith.

Called Polls in one place. I enjoy it in the entire sub-stack because simple

comprehensive look at the data that matters from across economic and political

indicators, both foreign and domestic, but also John's interest in science and technology and

health and how it's sort of sort of near-term futurism and what it means for global. The global political world is something

that I find very compelling and like I said he does a great job of pointing out things that I would be searching for myself on the internet.

John's a veteran of understanding political handicapping.

He's also a member of the Bush

clan and he will give you the correct family tree when we get things started.

But before we get started, I do want to remind you, stick around for another listener question.

Please remember to submit your questions to the Chuck Toddcast at gmail.com.

But look, it is obviously the biggest development potentially yet in the presidential

campaign and that is the guilty verdict of Donald Trump.

And the question of course is what kind of impact is it going to have?

And look, I'll be honest, I don't think any of us truly know yet.
