8:21Now PlayingDonald Trump has thrown the kitchen sink at the Biden campaign, and so far the public isn’t buying into any of it. That isn’t to say that there aren’t some people who believe the attacks, it just means that the public at large and as a whole are not buying into them. The campaigns are running out of time to craft a coherent strategy for this year, and Trump can’t seem to find anything that works, as Ring of Fire’s Farron Cousins explains.

Recently Axios did an analysis on data provided by right wing websites about which stories they're running regarding the attacks on Biden's that they're helping the Trump administration promote, which ones are really resonating. You know, which stories about Joe Biden are these people actually clicking on and according to the data from these right wing websites, the answer is none. None of them even with right wing media, helping to push out these anti Joe Biden narratives, nothing is sticking at the moment that will change. That will will change probably. Um, and I say that because at this point, folks, the election, every single day, that passes, like we're getting a lot closer. It's closer than you think it's closer than it feels. Um, but eventually, I mean, I think Trump's going to get a couple jabs in that are going to stick that are going to hurt him, but you have to understand right now there is this massive well-funded apparatus on the right.
It's not just the RNC. It's not just the Republican party itself and Donald Trump. That's massive part of it. Obviously there is all these little shadow organizations, you know, all the think tanks, your Kato's, your heritage foundations, you know, your freedom works. And all of those that are funded by all these other foundations, the Scaife foundation, the Olin foundation, the cores foundation go through. I mean, I've done the research on this for years and years go through and truly look one day at who funds these groups and how shady it is that this group is funded by these 10 groups who are funded by these 10 groups. They do a good job of hiding their money. But at the end of the day, a lot of these right wing websites are funded in part, at least by some of these other right wing organizations. So there is this multibillion dollar effort at any given point in America, right now, pushing the narrative for the Republican party.
There is no amalgam of that on the left. We're kind of all on our own doing our own thing, hoping it sticks. It's Victor Tim's to algorithm changes and things like that. Not so on the right, they get paid regardless. And they're pushing these talking points. And as Axios points out in this new report, none of them are working. People don't believe it. People don't buy it, or people simply don't care about it. Uh, they analyzed three of the big allegations or not allegations. I should say three of the big stories they're trying to push in order to hurt Joe Biden. Uh, two of the most obvious ones Barisma, which they've been pushing for about a year now, that's when that story came out, uh, trying to say the Hunter Biden did something illegal. They, Joe Biden fired the pro. No, he didn't. We know that.
And so the public, even the right wing public who reads these websites, they're not clicking on these stories cause they don't care. That's what their own analytics are showing. They're putting these stories out there, pushing them out there to the public. Trump is trying to push this. His kids repeatedly try to push the Hunter. Biden is a criminal story. It's just not working. Now. I say, it's not working. There are plenty of Republicans out there who think a hundred percent Hunter Biden, you know, fired this prosecutor and that his dad was involved in and all this kind of weird stuff. There's always going to be the people who do buy into it.
