Good morning, Wake Up Right fam! Gallup, which is probably the best known pollster in the U.S., released new data this week that showed 48% of the country identifies as/or leans Republican, versus 45% for Democrats.

Why does this matter? This is the first time in 32 years where they counted more GOP voters. And the last two times their count was close (2004 and 2016) the Republican won.

Big picture: We always say we don’t trust any single poll, but we do observe the trends seen in overall polls. And these trends are a positive sign.

• ✅ Hispanic voters: 52% support Trump, 44% Harris

• 🏥 37% of GenZ men don't have a primary care doc

• 📺️ Melania Trump will join Fox & Friends tomorrow morning

• 📉 Consumer confidence in September had worst drop since August 2021

Pelosi sold up to $1 million in Visa stock weeks before feds sued the company

Nancy Pelosi’s records show the former Speaker’s husband, Paul Pelosi, sold nearly $1 million in Visa stock just weeks before the Biden-Harris Department of Justice (DOJ) sued the credit card company for antitrust violations.

The details: On Tuesday, the DOJ's antitrust unit hit Visa with a lawsuit, alleging it illegally monopolized the debit card market by penalizing customers and merchants who use competing payment processors.

Back up: Pelosi's Periodic Transaction Report (PTA) shows her husband sold 2,000 shares of Visa Inc. less than two months ago, estimated to be worth between $500,001 and $1 million.

• FYI: Members of Congress must disclose financial distractions through these PTAs within 30-45 days of the transaction.

Big picture: After news of the antitrust lawsuit broke, Visa’s stock tanked, closing down 5.5%. Pelosi’s clairvoyant sell-off saved her more than $50,000 in losses yesterday.

Irony: PTAs were instituted under the ‘Stop Trading on Congressional Knowledge Act of 2012’ to “prohibit Members of Congress and employees of Congress from using nonpublic information derived from their official positions for personal benefit.” More often, it feels like their only purpose is to shove their transgressions in our faces since fraudsters like Pelosi face no penalties for their actions.

Biden fast-tracks Soros’ takeover of U.S. radio airwaves

The Biden-Harris Federal Communications Commission (FCC) approved a deal to fast-track far-left billionaire George Soros’ acquisition of over 200 radio stations—just weeks before the 2024 election.

The details: The FCC voted along party lines, with its three Democrat commissioners in favor and two Republicans voting against allowing Soros to skip a required comprehensive national security review that usually takes about a year to complete.

• Under typical FCC rules, foreign ownership of US radio stations cannot exceed 25%. While Soros holds U.S. citizenship, he took foreign investment to fund this purchase.

Zoom out: The FCC’s decision to fast-track Soros’ purchase is the first time in history that it has been allowed.

The scale: The acquisition of Audacy would give Soros control of over 200 radio stations, spanning 40 U.S. markets, with a reach of more than 165 million Americans.

The politics: Soros is a bad dude who has given millions to progressive causes, including funding district attorneys who prioritize soft-on-crime policies that have devastated American cities.

Zoom out: George Soros’ son Alex has visited the Biden White House at least two dozen times. And the was photographed with Kamala’s running-mate Tim Walz this week.

Worth noting: The FCC spokesperson stated, “No decision is final until officially released,” pushing back against fast-track allegations.

Big picture: Audacy controls some of the biggest conservative radio shows, including Sean Hannity, Dana Loesch, Mark Levin, Glenn Beck, and Erick Erickson. Soros isn’t looking for an investment opportunity with this purchase. He’s looking to control your access to information.
