00:00The top four issues, according to the sort of the main polls after the economy, are immigration,
00:09in which Trump has had a significant lead. We've seen a sharp increase in the number of illegal
00:15border crossings in the last three years, due to a number of factors, one of which being America
00:19had a much stronger economic recovery than most of the rest of the world. And due to also the
00:27fact that the Biden administration made some decisions to be much more favorable to asylum
00:30seekers than the Trump administration had been. That is issue number two on most of the surveys.
00:38Then you have reproductive rights and democracy and rule of law and where Kamala Harris has had
00:43a significant lead throughout the election, including many Republican women who have
00:51shown themselves willing to depart from the Republican ticket because of the
00:56Dobbs decision overturning Roe versus Wade in several of the special elections. And in 2022,
01:04we saw massive support for restoring reproductive rights in many states, including some of the
01:10battleground states like Michigan. And then finally, democracy and rule of law. I think that
01:17anyone who lived through the events of January 6th, 2021, knows how fragile the institutions
01:24that have seemed so robust actually are when a nation has leaders who are willing to flout the
01:31rules of peaceful transfer of power, independent judiciary, independent media, et cetera. And
01:37I think that there are a large number of the American people who look at that as the greatest
01:41long-term threat to the health of our republic and look at Donald Trump as a once in a generation
01:45danger.
