0:00.0	Well, it all comes down to this. The swing states. Well, what are the swing states?
0:05.8	Well, we're going to be looking today at Arizona, Nevada, Wisconsin, Michigan, Pennsylvania,
0:10.9	North Carolina, and Georgia, because more than likely, these are the states. They're going to
0:16.2	ultimately end up determining who the next president of the United States is. And thankfully, we have our own
0:21.7	resident historian and political prognosticator with his own special modeling that we're going to be
0:25.9	able to discuss in this episode that will give you everything you need to run right over to the
0:31.4	betting markets and make sure you make a lot of money on election day. I'm just kidding. I did not
0:35.2	recommend that you go gamble on this, but I'm just

1:13.8	And there's been one state out of these swing states in particular that he has been able to apply a rich amount of data with his model.
1:21.7	And so we're going to put it on him to give us some specific, some details on Pennsylvania, which is arguably the most important swing
1:29.5	state in this election. All of that and more coming up on this episode of making the argument.
1:33.4	I am your host, Nick Freitas, member of the Virginia House of Delegates, but other than that,
1:37.0	a reasonably good guy with me in the studio, my beautiful bright Tina Queen of the Bees.
1:41.5	Hello, everyone. I do need to say one little thing, and that is all of you tuning in who don't already know
