00:04:53.760 40 years experience journalism since 1981 university of wisconsin main east high school
00:04:58.360 board of visitors school journalism actually in term formation yeah tom how do you process these
00:05:03.340 types of nonsense top 10 lists when they rank the two best states that a lot of people are moving
00:05:08.520 into well i it's almost like i don't need to process it you just did but i'll tell you i'll
00:05:12.920 give you the why this is my observation tom's observation as to why these get written these
00:05:18.380 are intentional political voice hit pieces they wake up in the morning and it's like hey look
00:05:23.960 we need how do we how do we somehow throw shade for the american people they're trying to shade
00:05:31.880 the people that aren't paying attention pap that watched cnbc they're trying to shade these red
00:05:38.160 states and make them seem uninclusive and everything but you know what the reality is
00:05:42.460 when people go to these states you have the same reaction that the visitors from europe and the
00:05:46.140 world cup did oh my god texas brisket is good what a bucky's what an amazing thing what nice people
00:05:52.120 look at the hospitality we get look at all this and so all the they find it this is nothing more
00:05:57.900 than a hit piece politically to throw shade on the success of the red states by you said it
00:06:04.440 find and find an algorithm remember everybody used to pick on google algorithms hey google
00:06:09.980 algorithms they won't give you a fair remember the accusations vinnie they won't give you a fair
00:06:14.820 search on covid research on ivermectin research somebody's playing with the algorithm well the
00:06:20.800 algorithm is this guy this guy who is now with npr monterey bay oh there's there's a neutral news
00:06:27.780 source npr monterey bay and he wakes up and he says hey look we got to throw some shade at the
00:06:33.000 other side patch where i'm going to write an article it's exactly as you say but what i'm
00:06:36.880 adding to it my opinion my observation these things are intentional and they come from the
00:06:43.200 political direction of the news directors up inside that is my observation that is my conclusion
00:06:50.740 based on my own independent analysis i'm not accusing anybody of a crime what i'm accusing
00:06:55.700 them of is is injecting personal editorial bias and calling for these adam your thoughts and
00:07:01.660 lining them up look this is one of those things that if you're solving for something you'll find
00:07:06.980 some stat that agrees with basically whatever claim you're trying to make but what's the number
00:07:11.780 one thing that everybody says is the number one issue anytime that it comes to an election what's 1.00
00:07:16.040 the number one thing the economy stupid it's the economy stupid it's affordability so if you're 1.00
00:07:20.760 talking about the least unaffordable states not all these other things air quality worker 1.00
00:07:27.400 protections inclusiveness trans rights esg all these things if you're talking about the least
00:07:34.020 affordable states there's uh the top five that's california hawaii massachusetts new york and new
00:07:40.560 jersey now what do all these big beautiful states have in common they're all the big blue beautiful
00:07:46.040 states so if you're if you're solving for affordability as the number one thing those
00:07:50.780 are the states to avoid and pbd you hit the nail on the head net migration people are moving to
00:07:55.920 texas people are certainly moving to florida and people are moving to tennessee so don't be fooled
00:08:00.720 by these ridiculous stats because they clearly have an agenda on them yeah vinnie any thoughts
