ROB FINNERTY (HOST): Once again, it's the economy, stupid. And that guy got Bill Clinton elected. And this election, like most elections, is going to be all about the economy and the choice between common sense and what the DSA is offering, which, even though very little of it is actually true, I've got to admit, what they're saying sounds pretty darn good.

The other part of this story is that Republicans do not have a great story to tell right now. I'm sorry to tell you that, but it's true. Gas prices are $4.15 a gallon, diesel is at an all time high tonight. And all of this has allowed these DSA radicals to sort of sneak in the back door and lie to the public, lie to a public that is just very confused about who they can trust tonight and that's just the truth.
