00:00:00.000 Bidenomics and the Biden economy is hard at work to ruin all of our lives. Home sales fell to the
00:00:05.740 lowest level in 14 years as high home prices, inflation depleted savings, still elevated
00:00:11.280 mortgage rates, and election uncertainty kept buyers on the sidelines. Sales of existing homes,
00:00:16.320 which makes up most of real estate transactions in the U.S., fell by 1% to an annual rate of 3.84
00:00:21.860 million for September, this according to the latest numbers from the National Association
00:00:26.280 of Realtors this week. Economists had forecasted a stronger 3.9 million sales figure for the month,
00:00:32.340 sales fell short by 2.5% the prior month. Not good for America. This is the lowest level of
00:00:38.600 existing home sales since October of 2010. That, of course, was when the housing market was still
00:00:43.780 staggering from the bursting of the mortgage bubble and the financial crisis. Outgoing Senate Republican
00:00:49.340 Leader Mitch McConnell said that Donald Trump has hurt the Republican Party's ability to compete
00:00:54.180 and that, quote, the MAGMA movement is completely wrong. Imagine that, Senator Froghorn Leghorn,
00:01:00.880 going after MAGA, the only reason he still has a job. McConnell saying, quote, I think that Trump was
00:01:06.240 the biggest factor in changing the Republican Party from what Ronald Reagan viewed and he wouldn't
00:01:10.980 recognize it today. The quote comes from a new biography that's being written on Mitch McConnell.
00:01:15.920 Go figure that Mitch McConnell goes after MAGA once again. McConnell's got his hands in the pocket
00:01:21.220 of every foreign nation and he's worried about making America great again. It all makes sense. 0.88
00:01:27.440 He is anti-American. Some bad polling news for Kamala Harris as we enter the final 11 days until 0.99
00:01:33.460 the 2024 election. Bad news for Kamala means great news for President Trump. CNN's polling guru,
00:01:39.720 Harry Enten, said he believes that a sweep of the main battleground states in the presidential election
00:01:44.040 is, quote, more likely than not. So here's where the bad news comes in for Kamala Harris. 1.00
00:01:49.520 President Trump is leading in Arizona, Nevada, Wisconsin, Michigan, Pennsylvania, North Carolina,
00:01:55.980 and pretty decently large in Georgia. So when Harry Enten tells us there's probably going to be a sweep,
00:02:02.260 as of right now, it looks like it's going in President Trump's favor. And with 11 days to go,
00:02:07.320 it's going to take a big October surprise or early November surprise to change that.
00:02:12.280 And I don't think one's coming. Please be sure to join us for today's episode of The Great
00:02:16.300 America Show. We're joined by head pollster for Rasmussen, Mark Mitchell. We break down all the
00:02:22.140 latest polls as 20 million Americans have already early voted. And the trends as of right now are
