Thank you, thank you for joining us. 15 00:01:26.159 --> 00:01:32.879 I don't know if you've paid any attention yet or at all to Christy Nome 16 00:01:33.040 --> 00:01:41.480 is out there making the circuit for interviews. She's interviewing with different folks about 17 00:01:41.519 --> 00:01:47.120 her about her book, No Going Back, I think is the name of 18 00:01:47.159 --> 00:01:55.000 the book, and it has been, I mean, from my vantage point, 19 00:01:55.000 --> 00:02:00.799 an absolute debacle and train wreck. I had heard some time ago oz 20 00:02:01.760 --> 00:02:07.479 Oz had seen somebody on social media commenting on a story that was in the 21 00:02:07.520 --> 00:02:15.159 book where Christinoam had shot her dog, fourteen month old shot and killed her 22 00:02:15.159 --> 00:02:19.120 dog, that dog that she said was untrainable. And of course people were 23 00:02:19.120 --> 00:02:22.680 having a heyday with this mocking and so forth. And look, she was 24 00:02:23.960 --> 00:02:27.879 South Dakota rancher. I mean, it's a different world, right, but 25 00:02:28.560 --> 00:02:35.520 the concept of shooting one's dog is not something that is widely You're not going 26 00:02:35.599 --> 00:02:39.159 to be welcomed with open arms. I mean, I don't know if I 27 00:02:39.159 --> 00:02:43.439 don't know, I don't know how she expected that to be taken. I 28 00:02:43.479 --> 00:02:46.199 don't know. I just I don't know what the thought was there, you 29 00:02:46.240 --> 00:02:50.919 know, I don't know if possibly it makes it sound like she's tough and 30 00:02:51.000 --> 00:02:59.479 ready to make difficult decisions in spite of any emotional emotional consequence or connection, 31 00:02:59.599 --> 00:03:04.039 I don't know. I'm not really sure what that would be doing in a 32 00:03:04.080 --> 00:03:07.560 book. But it is in the book. It's in the book, and 33 00:03:07.639 --> 00:03:12.719 I don't know if she doesn't know how much the average person who has a 34 00:03:12.759 --> 00:03:17.479 dog loves their dog. We've got two here. I it's interesting. I 35 00:03:17.520 --> 00:03:24.319 consider myself a dog guy, but not like there's people today who take dog 36 00:03:27.400 --> 00:03:30.759 relationships to the next the next level. I mean, I'm not a guy 37 00:03:30.800 --> 00:03:32.319 that's ever gonna be And if you do this, that's fine. I'm not 38 00:03:32.560 --> 00:03:37.000 Please don't misunderstand me. But I'm not a guy that's going to be putting 39 00:03:37.599 --> 00:03:40.599 rubber boots on my dog to go outside and walk in the rain, or 40 00:03:40.680 --> 00:03:45.439 a raincoat or sweaters. I got my sister in law does this stuff, 41 00:03:45.520 --> 00:03:47.000 and fine, I got no problem. I'm just not that guy. But 42 00:03:47.039 --> 00:03:52.000 I love dogs. I love you know. When I worked on the horse 43 00:03:52.039 --> 00:03:54.919 farm, it was me and my dogs and talk radio and horses. That's 44 00:03:54.919 --> 00:03:58.840 what it was for most of the time. Never some occasionally some folks out 45 00:03:58.879 --> 00:04:00.159 there that were working with me. But I was by myself a lot, 46 00:04:01.080 --> 00:04:06.120 and I actually enjoyed a lot of that. And I get it. I 47 00:04:06.159 --> 00:04:09.840 mean I wasn't a rancher. I mean I was technically, I guess you 48 00:04:09.840 --> 00:04:13.520 could say a horse farmer for three years, so I mean, I understand 49 00:04:13.520 --> 00:04:21.399 the practical aspects of trying to live and manage a farm and just protecting protecting 50 00:04:21.439 --> 00:04:26.560 your kids and livestock and all this stuff. But anyway, that was in 51 00:04:26.600 --> 00:04:31.040 there initially. But now we've got the whole staring down Kim Jung Oon story 52 00:04:31.680 --> 00:04:34.439 that's in the book. Well, that was in the book. I just 53 00:04:34.480 --> 00:04:36.519 got to explain this and it's going to take a moment, but that's what 54 00:04:36.519 --> 00:04:43.199 I want to talk about. So she's got this book that's out and the 55 00:04:43.480 --> 00:04:46.319 interviews are not going well. And it's not even because the media is targeting 56 00:04:46.360 --> 00:04:50.399 her. There's a little bit of condescension and arrogance, and they don't like 57 00:04:50.480 --> 00:04:56.680 her because she's a conservative and so forth. She's a Trump supporting Republican. 58 00:04:56.759 --> 00:04:59.279 They don't like that about her. They don't like this she's a Republican. 59 00:05:00.000 --> 00:05:03.519 So anyway, I want to get into this today. I've got some sound 60 00:05:03.519 --> 00:05:06.720 bites and there's lots of other stuff in the stack of stuff to get to 61 00:05:06.839 --> 00:05:14.560 as well, including Governor Kathy Hokle saying that black kids don't know what computers 62 00:05:14.600 --> 00:05:17.920 are. Add that to the list of truly racist and stupid things at the 63 00:05:18.000 --> 00:05:23.480 left has said about black Americans. Anyway, we'll get to that and do 64 00:05:23.600 --> 00:05:26.639 course. But my friends, before we do that, Before we do that, 65 00:05:26.720 --> 00:05:29.399 let me remind you, if you haven't done so already, that you 66 00:05:29.439 --> 00:05:36.600 can go to z stacklife dot com zstacklife dot com and you can check out 67 00:05:36.879 --> 00:05:46.279 one of their six premiere all natural supplements that they make available on their website, 68 00:05:46.279 --> 00:05:53.480 their original z stack formula.

So let me let me 79 00:06:46.680 --> 00:06:50.000 set the stage a little bit. Thank you, Ez, come on this 80 00:06:50.040 --> 00:06:54.600 way, okay. Let me let me share with you a little bit of 81 00:06:54.800 --> 00:07:00.279 background as to how we've I guess got here set this up with with Christi 82 00:07:00.360 --> 00:07:02.959 Nomes. So Christynam is the governor of South Dakota. She's been governor for 83 00:07:03.040 --> 00:07:09.000 some time now, she's been I think again, I'm not in South Dakota, 84 00:07:09.040 --> 00:07:11.360 but I pay attention to these things. She seems to have been, 85 00:07:12.120 --> 00:07:15.480 in my estimation, a good governor, a good conservative governor. Not perfect, 86 00:07:15.519 --> 00:07:21.240 none of us are perfect, but I think consistently a conservative governor. 87 00:07:23.360 --> 00:07:29.439 And she has found herself on the short list, or what many people believe 88 00:07:29.480 --> 00:07:33.519 to be the shortlist, for vice presidential candidates for Trump. Right. I 89 00:07:33.560 --> 00:07:39.040 asked Oz coincidentally or incidentally here before the program, I said, Oz, 90 00:07:39.079 --> 00:07:43.879 who is your choice for vice president? I'm getting a look right now. 91 00:07:43.879 --> 00:07:46.279 I'm not going to say everything you said, Oz. I told her I 92 00:07:46.319 --> 00:07:49.519 was going to say. I told her I was going to say her choice 93 00:07:49.560 --> 00:07:53.959 was Mike Pence. And I said, Oz will get her first hate mail 94 00:07:54.000 --> 00:07:56.160 if I say that. She did not say that. Let me just make 95 00:07:56.199 --> 00:07:59.279 that clear. I was teasing with her before the show. Before the show, 96 00:07:59.319 --> 00:08:05.160 she did not say Mike Pence. She actually doesn't know who she wants. 97 00:08:05.759 --> 00:08:11.120 But she's not very happy with this debacle that's become Christy Nome's experience. 98 00:08:11.160 --> 00:08:16.439 And I think that that's objectively where I think most people are going to land. 99 00:08:16.560 --> 00:08:24.720 And so Christy Nome, Governor South Dakota, has gotten some national attention. 100 00:08:24.040 --> 00:08:30.040 Long before the book. She was a Trump supporter. She's been she's 101 00:08:30.079 --> 00:08:35.600 been strong. I think she's governed well again, not perfectly, but well. 102 00:08:35.639 --> 00:08:39.879 And so she finds herself. We believe she believes on the short list 103 00:08:39.960 --> 00:08:46.679 of potential vice presidential candidates. And so she hired a ghostwriter. Now most 104 00:08:46.720 --> 00:08:48.960 of you know what a ghostwriter is, but I you know, we have 105 00:08:48.960 --> 00:08:52.639 folks tuning in with all different experience levels. So a ghostwriter is somebody like, 106 00:08:52.720 --> 00:08:58.120 let's say I'm going to write I don't have ghostwriters, but let's say 107 00:08:58.159 --> 00:09:03.200 I'm going to write a book, and I'm someone like Christiname or Trump or 108 00:09:03.240 --> 00:09:07.080 whatever. A lot of folks will choose to get someone to actually do the 109 00:09:07.120 --> 00:09:13.159 work of writing the book, and then the person like christyme would sit for 110 00:09:13.600 --> 00:09:18.519 interviews maybe provide some notes, maybe her thoughts, whatever. Then the ghostwriter 111 00:09:18.639 --> 00:09:22.720 takes it and runs with it. The ghostwriter then it's called a ghostwriter because 112 00:09:22.720 --> 00:09:26.840 it's the person that's writing behind the scenes that you don't really see. And 113 00:09:26.879 --> 00:09:31.840 it's done. Christy Nome can say it's her book written. She wrote the 114 00:09:31.840 --> 00:09:35.559 book, but she basically subcontracted that out, if you want to think of 115 00:09:35.600 --> 00:09:43.399 it that way. She subcontracted out her job. Well, I should say 116 00:09:43.440 --> 00:09:46.440 that the writing of the book, the job of writing the book to a 117 00:09:46.440 --> 00:09:52.960 ghostwriter. And so there's a process for this. There's a process where you 118 00:09:52.000 --> 00:09:56.320 write the book. There's editing, there's you know, adding things, taking 119 00:09:56.360 --> 00:10:01.559 things out, not just not just edits for grammar and so forth. Edits 120 00:10:03.080 --> 00:10:05.480 based upon what we want in the book, what we don't want in the 121 00:10:05.480 --> 00:10:09.080 book, maybe how we want things to flow, what goes where, maybe 122 00:10:09.080 --> 00:10:11.879 we change the order of certain things, whatever, that kind of thing. 123 00:10:11.919 --> 00:10:18.440 The proofing process, and then the book is effectively ready to go. Now 124 00:10:18.480 --> 00:10:24.159 it's at this point in the process that Christy Nome she read the book now, 125 00:10:24.200 --> 00:10:28.679 I mean she read it for the audio version of the book. So 126 00:10:28.240 --> 00:10:31.919 this is where she gets involved. So they give her the manuscript or maybe 127 00:10:31.919 --> 00:10:37.080 it was a I don't know, the final manuscript of the book. She 128 00:10:37.240 --> 00:10:43.120 reads the book onto audio and she's done that, she did that process. 129 00:10:43.320 --> 00:10:50.879 Then after that, this is important. Now after that it is discovered revealed. 130 00:10:52.440 --> 00:10:58.080 Someone raises a question about one particular anecdote as she refers to it here 131 00:10:58.120 --> 00:11:05.240 in these interviews, anecdote that needs to be removed. So what's an anecdote. 132 00:11:05.320 --> 00:11:09.720 Let's talk about that really quickly because it matters. An anecdote. I 133 00:11:09.840 --> 00:11:13.639 was talking to my kids this morning as they were listening. I had the 134 00:11:15.480 --> 00:11:18.720 I had the audio of these interviews playing out loud, and my son, 135 00:11:18.759 --> 00:11:22.519 who's fourteen, said, Dad, who is that? And I said, 136 00:11:22.600 --> 00:11:24.840 Christinam, I said why are you? Are you listening? And he said, 137 00:11:24.919 --> 00:11:28.039 yeah, a little bit, And I said, and I kind of 138 00:11:30.720 --> 00:11:33.600 gave him a little bit of an explanation. And he didn't know what anecdote 139 00:11:33.679 --> 00:11:37.440 men, and so I said, you know, an anecdote like we say 140 00:11:37.440 --> 00:11:39.960 things go hear me say from time to time, anecdotal evidence or that's an 141 00:11:41.799 --> 00:11:46.080 anecdote of the larger picture. But an anecdote is when something happens. This 142 00:11:46.159 --> 00:11:50.360 is important, something happens, and then you take that situation, and then 143 00:11:50.360 --> 00:11:56.440 you apply it to maybe a larger the larger picture, if you will. 144 00:11:56.480 --> 00:11:58.840 So, for example, here in this state, and my excuse me, 145 00:12:00.759 --> 00:12:07.399 in my state of Indiana, we had our primary election yesterday. So we 146 00:12:07.480 --> 00:12:11.879 had the primary yesterday. So let's say I'm driving by, there's a there's 147 00:12:11.879 --> 00:12:16.200 a polling place not far from me. I'm driving by the polling place. 148 00:12:16.240 --> 00:12:20.120 I look out my window. I'm not saying that this happened. Please don't 149 00:12:20.120 --> 00:12:24.000 misunderstand. I'm just illustrating what an anecdote is. I look out the window 150 00:12:24.000 --> 00:12:28.159 and I see a big, long line of voters, and that may that's 151 00:12:28.200 --> 00:12:35.799 an ant that can be anecdotal evidence that turnout is high in general in different 152 00:12:35.840 --> 00:12:39.279 places here, maybe around the country and so forth. But it doesn't mean 153 00:12:39.279 --> 00:12:45.519 that that's the case. Maybe I just drove by when people all decided to 154 00:12:45.559 --> 00:12:50.600 go. It doesn't necessarily statistically mean anything. It's just a little story that 155 00:12:50.720 --> 00:12:56.759 that could kind of illustrate a greater truth or illustrate a pattern. So I 156 00:12:56.759 --> 00:13:01.080 could say, you know, if a person has a lot of integrity, 157 00:13:01.080 --> 00:13:05.360 I could tell a story where they demonstrated the integrity, and then from that 158 00:13:05.519 --> 00:13:11.120 story, anecdotally, one could assume, or at least believe have reason to 159 00:13:11.120 --> 00:13:16.399 believe that the same type of integrity that was demonstrated in the anecdote that I 160 00:13:16.519 --> 00:13:22.639 told, the true story that I told, could be applied for the individual 161 00:13:22.320 --> 00:13:31.639 in other circumstances. So that's kind of the background. So the anecdote that 162 00:13:31.679 --> 00:13:37.759 they have discovered after the final proofing process, now it didn't get into the 163 00:13:37.799 --> 00:13:43.279 final book, so I don't know if they made some sort of final final 164 00:13:43.440 --> 00:13:46.600 edits. They must have done that to keep it from getting into the final 165 00:13:46.639 --> 00:13:50.960 book. But it was after she read the book, and obviously, friends, 166 00:13:52.000 --> 00:13:56.759 you don't read on to create an audio version of a book without it 167 00:13:56.799 --> 00:14:05.399 being the final version. So that's as I understand it, the process of 168 00:14:05.440 --> 00:14:09.080 how we got to this point. So she tells a story in this book, 169 00:14:09.320 --> 00:14:13.039 and it's going to be referenced in these interviews that I played in a 170 00:14:13.120 --> 00:14:20.679 moment, but she references a story a story when she goes to South Korea. 171 00:14:20.840 --> 00:14:24.519 Then she goes to the DMZ, the de militarized Zone, which is 172 00:14:24.559 --> 00:14:28.840 on the border of North and South Korea. I don't want to go through 173 00:14:28.879 --> 00:14:33.000 the history of all this, but suffice to to say, when we fought 174 00:14:33.039 --> 00:14:37.679 the Korean War. We went in, we drove the communist North Koreans back 175 00:14:39.000 --> 00:14:43.000 basically into China. Then the Chinese communists joined the war. They pushed us 176 00:14:43.080 --> 00:14:50.720 back to what became the DMZ, the thirty eighth Parallel, and that's basically 177 00:14:50.799 --> 00:14:56.399 where everything stalled. That's where everything stalled. It's it's the de militarized zone. 178 00:14:56.559 --> 00:15:03.559 But it's still from time to time there's still could be some altercations along 179 00:15:03.639 --> 00:15:07.799 that DMZ. And it's been that way for g Wiz since nineteen fifty three, 180 00:15:07.960 --> 00:15:11.320 I think, is when the Korean War ended, so a long time. 181 00:15:13.000 --> 00:15:15.519 What is that forty seven and twenty three, so that what is that? 182 00:15:15.519 --> 00:15:22.080 That's uh seventy that's seventy years, seventy some years, Okay, so 183 00:15:22.759 --> 00:15:24.879 it is. With that being said, so so she's read the book. 184 00:15:26.360 --> 00:15:33.639 They then caught something with this anecdote about meeting Kim Jung oon that they wanted 185 00:15:33.639 --> 00:15:37.320 to remove, and so people are asking her about this, why is it 186 00:15:37.399 --> 00:15:41.080 removed? You know, all the these seemed like relevant questions. So I'm 187 00:15:41.080 --> 00:15:45.960 first gonna play with you or play for you. This interview she had on 188 00:15:46.080 --> 00:15:52.399 Newsmax. She's she has an interview here on Newsmax. And this is friendly 189 00:15:52.480 --> 00:16:00.679 media, and this is not the radical left media. This is conserving media. 190 00:16:00.039 --> 00:16:03.000 And these are fair questions, I might add. So I'm going to 191 00:16:03.039 --> 00:16:06.360 play that in a moment. But my friends, let me first remind you 192 00:16:06.480 --> 00:16:11.120 that gold is at an all time high. It is it has, i 193 00:16:11.159 --> 00:16:15.759 should say, outperformed the S and P five hundred and the Dow since nineteen 194 00:16:15.840 --> 00:16:22.159 seventy one, that's when the dollar was taken off the gold standard. And 195 00:16:22.240 --> 00:16:26.879 all these countries and central banks, major institutions, and even the IMF itself. 196 00:16:26.919 --> 00:16:33.240 These folks, that includes the folks that even are responsible that control our 197 00:16:33.320 --> 00:16:38.399 fiat money paper money system, they all hold gold. And if they all 198 00:16:38.440 --> 00:16:42.919 hold gold, the question is does it make sense for you as well, 199 00:16:44.039 --> 00:16:48.320 especially when you think about gold being used as they say, a hedge heads 200 00:16:48.320 --> 00:16:52.519 for inflation and all these sorts of things. Given the current environment, given 201 00:16:52.559 --> 00:16:56.799 the value of gold, given everything we know about by nomics and politics, 202 00:16:56.879 --> 00:17:02.919 and heading into a recession, is now a good time to look at adding 203 00:17:02.919 --> 00:17:06.720 gold to your portfolio. Well, my friends, you can talk with the 204 00:17:06.799 --> 00:17:11.599 professionals at Harvard Gold Group about just that very thing. Harvard Gooldgroup dot com 205 00:17:11.640 --> 00:17:18.119 is the website that you can go to and you can see if adding gold 206 00:17:18.200 --> 00:17:22.240 to your portfolio makes sense. You can understand what that looks like. You 207 00:17:22.279 --> 00:17:25.640 can use promo code Todd along the way, and if you decide to proceed 208 00:17:25.759 --> 00:17:27.640 with an order with Harvard Gold, you'll get a two hundred and fifty dollars 209 00:17:27.680 --> 00:17:33.200 credit Harvardgoldgroup dot Com promo code Todd. So I want to play a bit 210 00:17:33.640 --> 00:17:44.559 of this exchange between Christinome and the folks over at Newsmax. So this is 211 00:17:44.599 --> 00:17:52.200 Finnerty who's asking the question here at Newsmax, Rob Affinity and Christinome going back 212 00:17:52.240 --> 00:17:55.440 and forth. I think these are fair questions. This is not this is 213 00:17:55.480 --> 00:17:59.279 not hostile media. This is just a question that needs to be answered based 214 00:17:59.319 --> 00:18:03.640 upon what I share. Here's the exchange, Governor. If you asked me 215 00:18:03.680 --> 00:18:06.279 a month ago, who's at the top of the list to run with Donald 216 00:18:06.319 --> 00:18:08.000 Trump, I would have said your name. If you ask me that same 217 00:18:08.079 --> 00:18:11.359 question this morning, I don't even think you're on the list, really, 218 00:18:11.400 --> 00:18:14.119 So my question for you, yes, really, And it's because of things 219 00:18:14.119 --> 00:18:15.440 that have come out in this book, like your claims that you met Kim 220 00:18:15.519 --> 00:18:19.279 Jong un, and then over the last week I've been to the DMZ. 221 00:18:19.319 --> 00:18:22.480 I've been tire. What I said, stared at on Kim Jong Let me, 222 00:18:22.519 --> 00:18:25.640 Governor one second. I will give you an opportunity to respond. I 223 00:18:25.640 --> 00:18:26.960 just want to get this out there. So here's the here's the quote from 224 00:18:26.960 --> 00:18:30.920 the book. You say that I remember when I met North Korean dictator Kim 225 00:18:32.000 --> 00:18:36.119 Jong un. I'm sure he underestimated me, having no clue about my experience 226 00:18:36.319 --> 00:18:38.880 staring down little tyrants. Governor, that never happened. But I have said 227 00:18:40.079 --> 00:18:42.079 in the book is that when I became aware of the content that we had, 228 00:18:42.119 --> 00:18:45.279 it changed, and that's the way that it is. So I should 229 00:18:45.319 --> 00:18:48.559 not have put that antidote in the book that I'm not going to talk about 230 00:18:49.559 --> 00:18:53.200 it happened. I'm not going to talk about my conversations with world leaders. 231 00:18:53.200 --> 00:18:57.039 I've been involved in policy for thirty years. For thirty years, I've been 232 00:18:57.079 --> 00:19:02.279 traveling the world talking to world leader to do with and that is a conversation 233 00:19:02.759 --> 00:19:06.519 that I'm not going to have in this book. Okay, there's more to 234 00:19:06.640 --> 00:19:08.640 this. I mean, I'm gonna play a little bit more. But notice 235 00:19:08.720 --> 00:19:12.359 the first question, did you meet and stare down Kim Jong un? I've 236 00:19:12.400 --> 00:19:15.680 been to the DMZ. That was her response, I've been to the DMZ. 237 00:19:15.799 --> 00:19:18.880 Now, I've got a couple of thoughts on this. I've got a 238 00:19:18.920 --> 00:19:22.359 couple of thoughts on this as to how we got here that I'll share. 239 00:19:22.960 --> 00:19:26.279 It's gonna have to be in a ladder segment now as I'm looking at the 240 00:19:26.279 --> 00:19:29.240 clock and I want to play this, and i want to play the original 241 00:19:29.319 --> 00:19:33.480 CBS interview, which is where this was the first exchange like this, and 242 00:19:33.480 --> 00:19:37.920 that's not friendly media. I understand that, and I'm here to defend friendly 243 00:19:37.960 --> 00:19:42.079 media or not. I'm just here to say this is these are people that 244 00:19:42.319 --> 00:19:48.000 are not trying to do gotcha journalism like this is an absolutely fair question. 245 00:19:48.119 --> 00:19:49.680 Did you meet him? Why was it in the book? Why did you 246 00:19:49.720 --> 00:19:53.799 take it out? She's never said that I've been to the to the DMZ. 247 00:19:55.039 --> 00:19:56.960 She says, on earth does that have to do? Do you realize 248 00:19:57.000 --> 00:20:03.279 how many people have been to the DMZ that have not stared Korean dictator Kim 249 00:20:03.480 --> 00:20:06.519 Jung un in the eye. I mean, it's the vast majority of them. 250 00:20:06.599 --> 00:20:08.960 Most people who go to the DMZ. First of all, there's not 251 00:20:10.039 --> 00:20:14.839 many of them, although they do. If they go, they're typically people 252 00:20:14.880 --> 00:20:19.200 who are part of a you know, some sort of a larger group of 253 00:20:19.240 --> 00:20:25.200 American politicians and so forth, military leaders or something like that. It's not 254 00:20:25.240 --> 00:20:30.200 just your run of the mill, average you know, average American that's going 255 00:20:30.200 --> 00:20:33.200 here. So I'm not saying she didn't go to the DMZ. But that 256 00:20:33.240 --> 00:20:37.759 does not mean that does not mean that you met Kim Jung un. That 257 00:20:37.799 --> 00:20:42.039 does not mean that you stared him in the eye, she said. And 258 00:20:42.039 --> 00:20:47.000 in fact, the full quote of the book that he didn't read it said 259 00:20:47.119 --> 00:20:52.720 something like I've dealt with little tyrants before. I was a Sunday school teacher 260 00:20:52.759 --> 00:20:56.400 after all, or some such thing. That was the full quote. But 261 00:20:56.519 --> 00:21:02.440 anyway, she's not answering this. This is so bizarre, so bizarre in 262 00:21:02.519 --> 00:21:04.039 so many ways. And this is from someone that, I mean, I 263 00:21:04.319 --> 00:21:07.720 liked her, I thought she might have been a good candidate that I don't 264 00:21:07.759 --> 00:21:12.880 think that at the moment. I actually think that she destroyed her chances of 265 00:21:12.960 --> 00:21:15.960 being vice president. Anyway, more to say on this, but friends, 266 00:21:17.039 --> 00:21:19.839 let me tell you here about my friends at nick Knack Naturals. If you 267 00:21:21.119 --> 00:21:27.400 are currently smoking, using chewing tobacco, if you are vaping, and you 268 00:21:27.480 --> 00:21:37.000 of course are using nicotine. Then there's a naturally better alternative than smoking, 269 00:21:37.319 --> 00:21:41.160 than spitting in the slimy patches, than the bad breath. Nicknack Naturals has 270 00:21:41.279 --> 00:21:48.279 created a mint that's fully discreet. It doesn't have an odor, and it 271 00:21:48.319 --> 00:21:53.119 doesn't come with all the messiness of smoking and spitting and all that other stuff 272 00:21:53.160 --> 00:21:59.160 that comes with other forms of nicotine. So why not take a look at 273 00:21:59.160 --> 00:22:04.440 the naturally better alternative at nicknack dot com. That's in ic nac nick knack 274 00:22:04.559 --> 00:22:11.039 dot com.

Nick knack dot com promo code Todd saves you fifteen percent crush 276 00:22:18.440 --> 00:22:23.160 your vice my friends with nick Nack Naturals. So that being said, I'm 277 00:22:23.160 --> 00:22:26.160 going to take a brief time out here. When we get back, I 278 00:22:26.160 --> 00:22:30.400 want to continue this. I want to play the other bit of the SoundBite 279 00:22:30.680 --> 00:22:33.559 from CBS. Actually we'll finish this one as well, and I want to 280 00:22:33.599 --> 00:22:38.000 give you my thoughts on a couple of explanations as to what might have happened 281 00:22:38.039 --> 00:22:42.480 to get us to this point. But Christy Nome, I mean metaphorically crash 282 00:22:42.559 --> 00:22:48.519 and burn here with these interviews. It's pretty embarrassing. She's not handling this 283 00:22:48.599 --> 00:22:51.519 well at all. Plenty of things to talk about with this, a lot 284 00:22:51.519 --> 00:22:52.640 of teachable moments, but I've got to take a break. My friends. 285 00:22:52.640 --> 00:22:56.400 You're listening here to conservative not bitter talk. I am your host, the 286 00:22:56.440 --> 00:22:59.200 one, the only, the ever sable of it. Todd Huff back in 287 00:22:59.240 --> 00:23:08.799 just a minute. Welcome back, my friends. We're talking about Christy Nome 288 00:23:08.839 --> 00:23:18.480 and this pretty embarrassing series of media appearances, both on what I would consider 289 00:23:18.720 --> 00:23:22.559 at least relatively friendly media, people that aren't out to get her like a 290 00:23:22.640 --> 00:23:26.680 Newsmax, which is what I've been playing first here, but also on media 291 00:23:26.759 --> 00:23:30.200 that of course hates her, hates Trump, hates Magger, Republicans and all 292 00:23:30.240 --> 00:23:36.000 this sort of stuff. She's run into problems all over the place, and 293 00:23:36.039 --> 00:23:41.200 it's it's embarrassing, it's bizarre. This is the result, I'm telling you. 294 00:23:41.200 --> 00:23:47.119 You know this. This is the result of listening to people who are 295 00:23:47.400 --> 00:23:52.680 consultants and are trying to help you manage a crisis. That's what this is. 296 00:23:52.240 --> 00:23:57.240 Crisis, man, I'm telling you right now, these the PR and 297 00:23:57.359 --> 00:24:00.279 crisis management. I'm not saying that, no, I know I've got PR 298 00:24:00.319 --> 00:24:07.799 professionals out there, But my friends, PR has become a term, an 299 00:24:07.880 --> 00:24:14.920 abbreviation. I guess it's a symbol for basically, how do I get out 300 00:24:15.000 --> 00:24:19.279 of a problem without really admitting I created a problem? And I know, 301 00:24:19.519 --> 00:24:22.680 look, I know. It's just like I've been in sales. It's just 302 00:24:22.720 --> 00:24:26.119 like saying, you know, a lot of people think sales is about tricking 303 00:24:26.160 --> 00:24:29.759 people to buy for stuff. I would say, true sales is not about 304 00:24:29.759 --> 00:24:34.079 that. True sales, genuine sales is about helping someone understand the value of 305 00:24:34.119 --> 00:24:37.680 the product or service, and if it's a fit, then you find a 306 00:24:37.680 --> 00:24:42.279 way to get that person what benefits them. I would say the same for 307 00:24:42.359 --> 00:24:49.799 PR. PR is a tool that's designed to manage your brand, your message 308 00:24:49.920 --> 00:24:56.039 publicly through the media, and so forth. It's just unfortunate that many people 309 00:24:56.079 --> 00:25:03.960 turn to manipulation and not looking to action. What answering the question? Just 310 00:25:03.240 --> 00:25:07.319 answer it. My goodness, it would be so much better if she did 311 00:25:07.359 --> 00:25:10.920 that, but she didn't. So I'm going to go back to where we 312 00:25:11.000 --> 00:25:17.240 stopped on this sound bite. Rob Finnerty News Max interviewing Christinome asking her about 313 00:25:17.279 --> 00:25:22.279 this this well didn't happen? Did you meet Kim Jong Un? I don't 314 00:25:22.319 --> 00:25:25.880 think I don't think you did, is what he ends up saying here. 315 00:25:25.920 --> 00:25:29.440 So that being said, I'm going to pick up where we left off. 316 00:25:29.559 --> 00:25:32.440 Actually, I'm going to back this up ten seconds just so we don't miss 317 00:25:32.480 --> 00:25:34.240 anything. So you'll hear a little bit of what we heard a moment ago, 318 00:25:34.480 --> 00:25:37.920 and we'll pick up and hear the rest of this SoundBite again. Christinoam 319 00:25:37.920 --> 00:25:44.960 talking with Rob Thinnerty on Newsmax about her book, in particular about meeting Kim 320 00:25:45.279 --> 00:25:49.319 Jong un. Here it is see for thirty years, For thirty years, 321 00:25:49.319 --> 00:25:53.880 I've been traveling the world talking to world leaders, and that is a conversation 322 00:25:55.400 --> 00:25:59.119 that I'm not going to have in this book. So I've answered that another 323 00:25:59.720 --> 00:26:03.759 interviews already. I've been very forthright, and I think that a typical politician 324 00:26:03.799 --> 00:26:07.480 wouldn't be that honest. As soon as it became to my attention, I 325 00:26:07.519 --> 00:26:08.599 asked for the content to be changed, and it has been. Governor. 326 00:26:08.640 --> 00:26:12.279 I'm not asking you about their details of this alleged meeting. I'm asking if 327 00:26:12.279 --> 00:26:15.279 the meeting actually happens. I don't think it did, and I think if 328 00:26:15.319 --> 00:26:18.720 it did, you'd be able to confirm for me that yes, it did. 329 00:26:18.880 --> 00:26:22.519 And here's when it happened. It happens, say at such and such 330 00:26:22.720 --> 00:26:25.039 a date for a month, or you don't have to talk about I'm not 331 00:26:25.039 --> 00:26:26.680 going to talk about my conversation. You're going to continue to have to answer 332 00:26:26.680 --> 00:26:30.519 this question. He's right, I don't think so, because the average American 333 00:26:30.559 --> 00:26:33.559 citizen is more worried about the border. They're more worried about what we see 334 00:26:33.599 --> 00:26:37.799 in a White House and a president that since January has gone out there and 335 00:26:37.400 --> 00:26:41.400 misled the American people over one hundred and fifty times, and nobody pushes him 336 00:26:41.680 --> 00:26:45.400 on what he says. That he was imprisoned with Nelson Mandela, that he 337 00:26:47.000 --> 00:26:48.559 drove an eighteen wheeler, that his uncle was eaten by cannibals, that he 338 00:26:48.599 --> 00:26:52.440 started the civil rights movement. There is a hypocrisy in the media today, 339 00:26:52.759 --> 00:26:56.559 and I would like to see that the American people know and recognize the difference. 340 00:26:56.599 --> 00:27:00.839 That they want leaders who actually will go forward and give them a way 341 00:27:00.839 --> 00:27:03.160 that they can elect people who want to represent them and fight for them governor. 342 00:27:03.200 --> 00:27:07.400 That's a very good point, and I'm not deliberately trying to be adversarial. 343 00:27:07.519 --> 00:27:10.920 I just know he's not Donald Trump winning, and that is very important 344 00:27:11.079 --> 00:27:12.680 yes, and I think that whoever he chooses to be his running mate. 345 00:27:12.960 --> 00:27:19.559 So I'm gonna pause it and stop it there. But I don't know. 346 00:27:19.599 --> 00:27:25.920 To me, this sounds exactly like the political speak that she's railing about here. 347 00:27:26.240 --> 00:27:29.759 Did you meet with him and he made a mistake? Rob Finnerty, 348 00:27:30.880 --> 00:27:33.359 I don't. I'm familiar with him, but I'm not super familiar. So 349 00:27:33.400 --> 00:27:37.839 this is not meant to be an insult. But you made a mistake because 350 00:27:37.039 --> 00:27:41.000 you shouldn't have said specific time and date, because as soon as you use 351 00:27:41.039 --> 00:27:44.799 the word specific, she's going to say, Look, I can't talk about 352 00:27:44.839 --> 00:27:48.160 details, don't. I don't reveal details of my conversations with world leaders. 353 00:27:48.160 --> 00:27:52.000 I don't go into that. But you should have left that part out. 354 00:27:52.039 --> 00:27:57.880 You should have just said, have you met with Kim Jong un? Ever, 355 00:28:00.200 --> 00:28:03.720 ever, I don't even know one specific thing. Did that happen? 356 00:28:03.240 --> 00:28:08.079 You wrote about it, you took it out. You apparently at some point 357 00:28:08.160 --> 00:28:12.680 thought that it was okay to tell people this. I'm not asking any details. 358 00:28:12.680 --> 00:28:17.000 I'm not asking what he had on I'm not asking if you shared a 359 00:28:17.039 --> 00:28:19.160 meal, what he had to eat. I'm not asking any of that. 360 00:28:19.759 --> 00:28:23.599 I'm not asking if he winked at you. If I'm not asking anything. 361 00:28:23.880 --> 00:28:32.359 I'm not asking if he revealed military secrets. I'm not asking if you called 362 00:28:32.400 --> 00:28:36.440 him rocketman. I'm not asking any of those things. I'm just asking, 363 00:28:36.599 --> 00:28:41.880 did you meet with him? Did that really happen? Did you stare eye 364 00:28:41.920 --> 00:28:45.440 to high with this little dictator like you did with the kids in Sunday School? 365 00:28:45.480 --> 00:28:48.960 Did that happen? She says she's answered the question. She's not. 366 00:28:49.119 --> 00:28:55.039 I'm more confused every time I listen to the sound bite. I'm more confused 367 00:28:55.160 --> 00:28:59.359 as to what she's trying to communicate here. But I mean I'm not at 368 00:28:59.400 --> 00:29:03.960 the same time, because I know that what she's doing is trying to avoid 369 00:29:03.000 --> 00:29:07.559 it. She's been coached on this. If you watch her other interviews and 370 00:29:07.599 --> 00:29:11.079 I'll play time permitting here, I'll play a little bit of where this all 371 00:29:11.119 --> 00:29:15.079 started, which was over at CBS, and it's the same thing. It's 372 00:29:15.079 --> 00:29:18.279 the same thing. I don't give out details about meeting with world leaders. 373 00:29:18.519 --> 00:29:23.079 That's not what I'm about the business of doing right. And then now you've 374 00:29:23.119 --> 00:29:26.880 lost the ability to press her if you ask her any detail, it's not 375 00:29:26.920 --> 00:29:30.119 a detail to say, did the meeting happen? I don't want to know. 376 00:29:30.160 --> 00:29:33.480 In fact, don't say anything to me besides yes to no. You 377 00:29:33.000 --> 00:29:37.920 can be you could turn it that direction. I don't use any words to 378 00:29:38.000 --> 00:29:41.880 protect the integrity of that meeting. I just need to know did it happen, 379 00:29:41.960 --> 00:29:47.880 yes or no? Any other word that you say misnome is going to 380 00:29:48.480 --> 00:29:52.119 be you know, it's going to lead us in the direction of you sharing 381 00:29:52.200 --> 00:29:56.759 too much information. Let's just did it happen, yes or no. That's 382 00:29:56.799 --> 00:30:00.279 the one of the two words that needs to come from you in response to 383 00:30:00.319 --> 00:30:06.240 this question. That's the only two words that we agree will work. So, 384 00:30:06.599 --> 00:30:10.160 of course that did not happen. But there's two there's two reasons that 385 00:30:10.240 --> 00:30:14.039 we got here that I can think of two reasons that we're here. So 386 00:30:14.119 --> 00:30:18.559 first, she's realized, of course, that she's a legitimate candidate, or 387 00:30:18.559 --> 00:30:23.160 she was a legitimate candidate for vice president of the United States. Many people, 388 00:30:23.279 --> 00:30:29.599 most people, almost all people, would not pass up this opportunity. 389 00:30:30.200 --> 00:30:33.519 We do know that Desantas said he had no interest in being Trump's VP. 390 00:30:33.759 --> 00:30:40.160 We know, according to some reports, although Trump's team denies it, there 391 00:30:40.279 --> 00:30:48.519 was conversations allegedly potentially between Trump and RFK Junior's team. Some people say that 392 00:30:48.519 --> 00:30:51.920 that happened, and RFK Junior said he had no interest. Again, I'm 393 00:30:51.960 --> 00:30:55.119 not saying that that's the truth. I'm just saying that these are some of 394 00:30:55.160 --> 00:30:56.920 the reports, and you know, take with it what you will. But 395 00:30:56.960 --> 00:31:02.680 most people are not going to turn that down. I remember Rush used to 396 00:31:02.759 --> 00:31:07.119 say to run for office, to run for the highest office, especially of 397 00:31:07.160 --> 00:31:11.440 the land, you have to have quite a high opinion of yourself. You 398 00:31:11.480 --> 00:31:12.680 have to believe that. I mean, you look at what you're going to 399 00:31:12.720 --> 00:31:18.480 step into, right, And I wish that. I wish that more people 400 00:31:18.519 --> 00:31:26.240 would be willing to step into politics, But they're afraid of this buzzsaw. 401 00:31:26.759 --> 00:31:29.319 And in that respect, I mean, you think, man, they're going 402 00:31:29.359 --> 00:31:32.720 after her pretty hard, and they are. But this is these are legitimate 403 00:31:32.799 --> 00:31:34.240 questions. She's still not answered it. So far as I can tell, 404 00:31:34.359 --> 00:31:38.759 I've not found the answer anywhere. Yes or no? Did you meet with 405 00:31:38.839 --> 00:31:42.359 Kim Jong un? And if you didn't, why was it ever in the 406 00:31:42.400 --> 00:31:45.799 book? Right? I mean, we do know from Obama's books. Remember 407 00:31:45.839 --> 00:31:52.720 Obama admitted in his memoir or whatever autobiography, whatever it was, he wrote 408 00:31:52.839 --> 00:31:56.440 that the women he wrote about in his book that he used to date was 409 00:31:56.519 --> 00:32:00.920 like a compilation of a conglomeration of different women. So he might be talking 410 00:32:00.960 --> 00:32:07.000 about Stacy, and Stacy's really a symbol of two or three other women rolled 411 00:32:07.000 --> 00:32:13.839 into one. So I understand that we're dealing in a world where people take 412 00:32:13.839 --> 00:32:17.359 a lot of liberty. But did the meeting happen? So I think, 413 00:32:17.759 --> 00:32:22.759 just really quickly, there's one or two opportunity explanations for this number One. 414 00:32:22.799 --> 00:32:27.799 She's realized she's a VP candidate. She wants to take the opportunity. And 415 00:32:27.960 --> 00:32:32.559 everybody who's running for you know, major office, major office in a presidential 416 00:32:32.559 --> 00:32:37.400 election year, they all have a book. And so maybe maybe she realized 417 00:32:37.440 --> 00:32:40.119 that she needed to get something out. She fast tracked things a little bit. 418 00:32:40.160 --> 00:32:45.200 She hired this ghostwriter, Things gets sloppy, editing is sped up, 419 00:32:45.200 --> 00:32:49.759 and here we are. That's the I don't know in my mind best case 420 00:32:50.079 --> 00:32:55.079 explanation. The other explanation is that she wants to sound tough. She needs 421 00:32:55.160 --> 00:33:00.960 to have a dictator to stare down in her story. So they throw it 422 00:33:00.000 --> 00:33:05.559 in, they make it up, and she gets caught for having never met 423 00:33:05.599 --> 00:33:09.960 him, and then has to back out and doesn't want to say I didn't 424 00:33:10.240 --> 00:33:15.440 really meet. What was originally in the book isn't really what happened. She 425 00:33:15.519 --> 00:33:20.079 doesn't want to say that. I leave it to you to decide which of 426 00:33:20.079 --> 00:33:22.680 those is true. But that's, my friends, the way, the way 427 00:33:22.720 --> 00:33:25.400 that I look at it. I don't know if there's any other any other 428 00:33:25.480 --> 00:33:30.799 explanation. They either were it was either intentional or unintentional. If it was 429 00:33:30.559 --> 00:33:35.599 unintentional, then it had to be a sloppy process, a sped up process 430 00:33:35.880 --> 00:33:39.920 in the editing and so forth. Or it was intentional it was intended to 431 00:33:39.960 --> 00:33:44.680 paint a picture of someone who's tough, who can handle the job, and 432 00:33:44.720 --> 00:33:46.039 then they got caught. I don't know what other explanation there could be. 433 00:33:46.079 --> 00:33:52.079 I suppose possibly there is, But anyway, that's my thoughts on the subject. 434 00:33:52.200 --> 00:33:54.160 Quick timeouts in order I got some closing thoughts. Actually made me think 435 00:33:54.160 --> 00:33:57.440 of a story, and I want to share on the other side of the 436 00:33:57.440 --> 00:34:15.960 break sitsight with my friends back here in just a minute. Welcome back, 437 00:34:16.039 --> 00:34:20.079 my friends. So I've got a quick story that I want to tell you 438 00:34:20.119 --> 00:34:27.559 that this situation reminds me of. And I also, well, we'll just 439 00:34:27.760 --> 00:34:32.480 focus on the story really quickly, and if I don't get to the CBS 440 00:34:32.519 --> 00:34:37.280 interview. That's on the stack of stuff at the website Todd haveshow dot com. 441 00:34:37.960 --> 00:34:42.920 You will find that in today's stack of stuff. But before I do 442 00:34:43.000 --> 00:34:45.320 that, let me remind you, my friends, that heart disease.

When I was in school in college, I remember, I 458 00:36:15.800 --> 00:36:21.119 think it was I think it was my junior year. I think it was 459 00:36:21.199 --> 00:36:23.719 my junior I know it wasn't my freshman year. I don't think it was 460 00:36:23.840 --> 00:36:27.679 my sophomore year. It could have been my my junior year. I believe 461 00:36:28.599 --> 00:36:37.320 I took a class that was called creative nonfiction. Now I understand, I 462 00:36:37.400 --> 00:36:42.400 understand that that should be the first sign, and it did. It did 463 00:36:42.440 --> 00:36:46.039 give me pause because, of course, nonfiction. The way that I learned 464 00:36:46.320 --> 00:36:52.559 as a young man to remember this nonfiction NF that's not fake fiction, of 465 00:36:52.559 --> 00:36:57.760 course, is when we tell stories, novels and so forth, and you 466 00:36:57.760 --> 00:37:04.039 know, sometimes there can be based on a true story sort of thing, 467 00:37:04.079 --> 00:37:07.960 and then you take a little bit of creative license. I thought the class, 468 00:37:07.039 --> 00:37:12.440 I really did. I thought it was a way a class that was 469 00:37:12.480 --> 00:37:20.400 designed to teach students how to present nonfiction writing in a creative way, meaning 470 00:37:20.840 --> 00:37:23.159 not to make stuff up, but yet just to tell it in a way 471 00:37:23.880 --> 00:37:30.800 so that it would be easier to read and under understand and more enjoyable and 472 00:37:30.840 --> 00:37:34.440 so forth. In fact, I've mentioned before, I've got I've got some 473 00:37:36.480 --> 00:37:42.719 a little set of a little set of cards here that help people tell better 474 00:37:42.760 --> 00:37:45.519 stories. I got that sitting here on my desk. It's looking at me 475 00:37:45.679 --> 00:37:52.000 right now. It's called storyteller tactics, and it helps to bring some of 476 00:37:52.000 --> 00:37:55.719 these stories a life. I thought it was something like that, anyway, 477 00:37:57.719 --> 00:38:05.079 it was not. Professor would routinely tell us when we would turn in a 478 00:38:05.159 --> 00:38:07.320 draft of a paper, you know, something needs to happen here. And 479 00:38:07.360 --> 00:38:09.679 then I would say, I mean, I'm a guy, you know. 480 00:38:10.480 --> 00:38:14.480 Not everything in the world is black and white. But I mean it's either 481 00:38:14.559 --> 00:38:17.000 fiction or nonfiction, right, I mean there's not there either is a guy 482 00:38:17.039 --> 00:38:20.639 that there isn't. There's some things that are pretty black and white. There 483 00:38:20.960 --> 00:38:24.280 is no middle ground. You can there can be disagreement and subjectivity and a 484 00:38:24.280 --> 00:38:28.199 lot of things. You know, is it too hot or too cold? 485 00:38:29.400 --> 00:38:34.199 Do you prefer chocolate or vanilla ice cream? Right? But there's certain things 486 00:38:34.360 --> 00:38:38.239 that if I'm writing nonfiction and someone says just make it up and throw it 487 00:38:38.280 --> 00:38:43.440 in here that I'm gonna say. But that didn't happen to what she would 488 00:38:43.480 --> 00:38:47.320 say, I don't care. It makes the story more interesting. And so 489 00:38:49.199 --> 00:38:52.199 I don't know what you would have called the class if you were being honest 490 00:38:52.199 --> 00:38:55.599 about the name of the class, I don't know what you would what you 491 00:38:55.639 --> 00:39:00.920 would have called it. It certainly would not have been what it was called 492 00:39:00.960 --> 00:39:06.159 because it wasn't nonfiction. I mean, it was basically I guess you could 493 00:39:06.239 --> 00:39:10.440 call it, you know, based on a true story maybe, and then 494 00:39:10.480 --> 00:39:15.280 you have your own license to create things along the way. But this whole 495 00:39:15.320 --> 00:39:22.360 story about listening to Christy Noome try to explain what happened in her book without 496 00:39:22.440 --> 00:39:25.639 actually trying to tell you anything. She just wants to say certain words, 497 00:39:27.320 --> 00:39:31.400 make certain statements. I don't give out details. I removed the anecdote, 498 00:39:31.559 --> 00:39:34.920 but I'm not going to tell you if it really happened or notther It just 499 00:39:35.000 --> 00:39:37.400 takes me back to that class. It takes me back to the class. 500 00:39:37.760 --> 00:39:40.760 He's the same professor. By the way. Again, I'm not going to 501 00:39:40.840 --> 00:39:44.519 say his name. Boy. I try. Sometimes I could slip and say 502 00:39:44.519 --> 00:39:46.559 it. I do remember it. I don't want to do that to him. 503 00:39:46.559 --> 00:39:52.159 But I do remember the time he stood up in front of the class. 504 00:39:52.199 --> 00:39:53.559 I think I've shared this on here. I think I just shared this 505 00:39:53.599 --> 00:39:58.480 on here a couple of weeks ago. He said, Christianity a good idea, 506 00:39:58.559 --> 00:40:04.079 but it got all fed up, is what he said. So that 507 00:40:04.280 --> 00:40:09.320 was the guy I talked with him afterwards one on one. Definitely was not 508 00:40:09.440 --> 00:40:13.239 the same tough guy that was saying that in front of the class in a 509 00:40:13.320 --> 00:40:15.239 one on one setting. But anyhow, this is the same short Those are 510 00:40:15.239 --> 00:40:17.840 the nonsense I had to put up with. And this was twenty she was 511 00:40:17.880 --> 00:40:22.280 twenty five or so years ago. Not anything like what it is today, 512 00:40:22.320 --> 00:40:25.960 what average students today have to put up with. That's probably a mild day 513 00:40:27.239 --> 00:40:30.800 at the office, so to speak. But anyway, this takes me back 514 00:40:30.920 --> 00:40:34.639 down memory lane, and I still don't know. She thinks she's answered, 515 00:40:34.719 --> 00:40:38.119 or she claims she's answered these questions. Christinome has not answered any of these 516 00:40:38.199 --> 00:40:45.039 questions. She has dramatically hampered her chances of becoming vice president. So anyway, 517 00:40:45.039 --> 00:40:47.239 folks, it's her own doing. I've got to go SDG
