District Club: Did Vivek Ramaswamy's Ad Go Too Far?

Two pollsters are exposed for fabricating midterm data out of thin air. Did they move money, push candidates out of races, or manipulate the prediction markets? Plus, President Trump rallies the faithful in Iowa and tells voters to pretend he’s on the ballot, but is he winning over swing voters or just playing to safe crowds? Meanwhile, Vivek Ramaswamy’s campaign releases an ad featuring opponent Amy Acton’s estranged mother urging voters to reject her daughter. It immediately ignited a firestorm of controversy.   And with less than two weeks until Election Day, the knives are out over whether the GOP’s midterm money bomb is actually working to defend red states like Kansas, South Carolina, and Texas.

Father Carlos Martins, Catholic exorcist and host of The Exorcist Files, joins Georgia Howe and Daily Wire Executive Editor John Bickley to discuss demonic possession, haunted homes, and the Catholic Church’s approach to exorcisms. Martins shares accounts from his decades of experience, explains how exorcists distinguish alleged possession from mental or physical illness, and reveals how often people who seek help turn out not to be possessed. He also discusses what he believes opens the door to demonic activity, the role of confession and spiritual accountability in exorcisms, and whether Halloween brings a surge in possessions.
