WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.600 --> 00:00:04.320 This is Gary and Shannon and you're listening to KFI AM six forty the Gary 2 00:00:04.360 --> 00:00:08.439 and Shannon Show on demand on the iHeartRadio app. So it's like a perfect 3 00:00:08.519 --> 00:00:12.919 week for the Republicans. They're having like a wonderful time party, unity, 4 00:00:13.839 --> 00:00:19.160 wonderful, sparkling event. Matt Gates has to come in and take a crap 5 00:00:19.239 --> 00:00:22.920 on the floor. By the way, I have the audio of Matt Gates, 6 00:00:22.960 --> 00:00:27.800 what a child, what a spoiled child? Talking to yelling at Kevin 7 00:00:27.839 --> 00:00:32.799 McCarthy interview. He's on CNN, Kevin McCarthy being interviewed. It's a one 8 00:00:32.840 --> 00:00:37.920 on one interview on the floor and Matt Gates has to interject and just crap 9 00:00:37.960 --> 00:00:42.399 all over the floor and what an awful Thankfully somebody confronted him right after. 10 00:00:42.439 --> 00:00:44.840 Did you hear that part of it? Not? Okay? So this was 11 00:00:44.880 --> 00:00:46.960 the beginning of I don't know if you want to start with this or not, 12 00:00:47.159 --> 00:00:50.799 but we have the audiow So this is the beginning of an interview Kaitlyn 13 00:00:50.880 --> 00:00:56.600 Collins interviewing Kevin McCarthy on the floor of the conventions hall there in Milwaukee. 14 00:00:56.600 --> 00:01:00.359 But what does that look like going into the next four months? Much more 15 00:01:00.439 --> 00:01:02.719 unit. I mean, think about that. That was all the Democrats and 16 00:01:02.759 --> 00:01:07.120 eight Republicans, one who's not coming back, and then the other part that 17 00:01:07.200 --> 00:01:10.319 you have. And the other part you have is one person who raised the 18 00:01:10.400 --> 00:01:15.079 issue. He's got an ethics then about you took Okay, now I'm just 19 00:01:15.079 --> 00:01:18.439 gonna leave it there because I boosted up a little bit of what macat Matt 20 00:01:18.480 --> 00:01:22.359 Gates was saying. Again, he interrupted the former Speaker of the House and 21 00:01:22.560 --> 00:01:26.000 asked, like a complete a hole, when are you speaking? Are you 22 00:01:26.079 --> 00:01:30.000 speaking tonight? Because if you get on that stage, you'd be booed off 23 00:01:30.000 --> 00:01:34.319 of that stage. Kevin McCarthy was pretty clever the way he weaved in one 24 00:01:34.400 --> 00:01:38.359 of these people has an ethics complaint for sleeping with a seventeen year old girl. 25 00:01:38.519 --> 00:01:41.719 Here is another version of that, and you can hear Matt Gates a 26 00:01:41.760 --> 00:01:46.560 little bit better. What does that look like going into the next we're here? 27 00:01:46.680 --> 00:01:51.359 What night are you speaking to? Are you speaking tonight? So people 28 00:01:51.480 --> 00:01:55.959 kind of get between Gates and McCarthy. Hey, if you took that stage, 29 00:01:56.000 --> 00:02:00.079 you would get booed off. You would get booed off the stage of 30 00:02:00.200 --> 00:02:08.120 Kates. Dude, I don't even know too large it doesn't. So they 31 00:02:08.199 --> 00:02:12.400 have a couple of pops or something. You hear the guy he goes, 32 00:02:12.439 --> 00:02:14.800 shut up Gates, Who is that? Just an older guy? I don't 33 00:02:15.080 --> 00:02:16.439 know. He hasn't been identified anything I saw. And he goes, I 34 00:02:16.479 --> 00:02:21.240 don't even know who the f you are, Matt Gates, a sitting congressman 35 00:02:21.639 --> 00:02:24.599 to a Republican delegate at the National Convention. Don't you know that if you 36 00:02:24.759 --> 00:02:28.360 are? And the guy goes, just don't be an age. Yeah, 37 00:02:28.439 --> 00:02:30.560 and he says it a couple of times, just don't be an a hole. 38 00:02:30.639 --> 00:02:34.479 He's just there was no reason to interfere with that interview with Kevin McCarthy. 39 00:02:34.479 --> 00:02:38.719 You've already ousted him a Speaker of the House. Gates will be speaking 40 00:02:38.759 --> 00:02:43.960 tonight, Lord, why would you give that guy the platform? The highlight? 41 00:02:44.439 --> 00:02:47.879 Highlight? The keynote speaker tonight is going to be jd Vance, obviously, 42 00:02:47.960 --> 00:02:52.520 the senator from Ohio chosen to be the vice presidential running mate. He 43 00:02:52.560 --> 00:02:58.319 will be preceded by people like Governor Doug Bergham, Don Junior, and boy. 44 00:02:58.400 --> 00:03:01.599 I can't wait to see what happens when Kimberly Guilfoyle takes the stage tonight. 45 00:03:01.719 --> 00:03:05.039 You know what's going to happen, a lot of shouting, a lot 46 00:03:05.080 --> 00:03:07.919 of wondering about where the fillers are. I don't know what she's done to 47 00:03:07.960 --> 00:03:10.719 her face. She was a beautiful woman. I don't know why she had 48 00:03:10.759 --> 00:03:15.319 to go in there with the needles. Ladies, God made you perfect the 49 00:03:15.319 --> 00:03:22.199 way that you are most most everybody, Okay, what's wrong with you? 50 00:03:23.439 --> 00:03:29.280 Okay? Sloped roof, this was a tree, an obstructed view. Everyone 51 00:03:29.319 --> 00:03:32.719 at the Secret Service needs to be brought into a meeting and the head of 52 00:03:32.719 --> 00:03:37.919 the Secret Service needs to be canned immediately. Cannot keep her, she cannot, 53 00:03:38.000 --> 00:03:40.960 absolutely cannot. This was her discussion again from that ABC interview she did 54 00:03:42.319 --> 00:03:49.039 about the threat posed by a slightly sloped roof. Should that roof have been 55 00:03:49.120 --> 00:03:53.879 secure? Period? That building in particular has a sloped roof at its highest 56 00:03:53.919 --> 00:03:58.120 point, and so you know there's a safety factor because I'm considered there that 57 00:03:58.120 --> 00:04:01.280 we wouldn't want to and climbed in. No problem. You know, the 58 00:04:01.360 --> 00:04:05.039 decision was made to secure the building from inside. Okay, Now that's an 59 00:04:05.039 --> 00:04:11.680 important aspect to keep saying. I kept saying yesterday, there's no way they 60 00:04:11.879 --> 00:04:15.480 just set up inside the building. There's no way. But the way she 61 00:04:15.720 --> 00:04:21.920 said it and the way it sounds is they were looking for bad guys through 62 00:04:21.959 --> 00:04:27.639 the windows. Now again, I'm hoping that's not true. I'm hoping I'm 63 00:04:27.680 --> 00:04:35.680 misunderstanding that because there's there's there's no way that that came from the officers themselves. 64 00:04:35.839 --> 00:04:41.680 I screwed up. I should have had that roof manned. Obviously. 65 00:04:42.240 --> 00:04:46.360 Don't say there was a safety factor with the slightly sloped roof. Give me 66 00:04:46.399 --> 00:04:49.879 a break. Every Secret Service agent who's worked the job listens to that and 67 00:04:50.040 --> 00:04:54.519 bangs their head on a wall. Yeah. This was her in an interview 68 00:04:54.519 --> 00:05:00.319 that aired today, specifically again trying not to throw local officers under the bus, 69 00:05:00.560 --> 00:05:05.319 but completely throwing local officers under the bus. Secret Service respects local law 70 00:05:05.360 --> 00:05:09.759 enforcement, and we could not do our job, either investigatively or on our 71 00:05:09.759 --> 00:05:14.000 protective mission without them in Pennsylvania. In fact, on that same day, 72 00:05:14.279 --> 00:05:17.319 they were also working the first Lady trip and a Vice presidential trip. So 73 00:05:17.759 --> 00:05:21.160 I understand the constraints that they're under. And as I said earlier, we 74 00:05:21.160 --> 00:05:26.639 couldn't do our job without them at that particular site. We divided up areas 75 00:05:26.639 --> 00:05:30.319 of responsibility, but the Secret Service is solely responsible for the design and the 76 00:05:30.319 --> 00:05:35.959 impipitation and the execution of the site. Again, I think that hearing on 77 00:05:36.000 --> 00:05:41.959 Monday morning. It starts at seven am our time. It's prime time listening. 78 00:05:42.519 --> 00:05:50.079 How how could you possibly have faith in the Secret Service management if they 79 00:05:50.120 --> 00:05:55.959 can't get something like that correct. You can't just say local officers were the 80 00:05:55.959 --> 00:06:00.519 ones who were in charge of that area. Because the Washington Post reports from 81 00:06:00.600 --> 00:06:04.959 inside that building they saw this guy acting furtively, walking back and forth around 82 00:06:05.000 --> 00:06:10.720 the building with some gear. They did radio the Secret Service command post to 83 00:06:10.759 --> 00:06:15.439 alert them. Now, why the Secret Service didn't then flood that area with 84 00:06:15.759 --> 00:06:23.120 eyes how? I just it's one of those that's It's it. I'm hoping 85 00:06:23.279 --> 00:06:26.839 everything that we think about this is completely wrong. I'm hoping we have a 86 00:06:26.920 --> 00:06:30.920 story. We're not. We're not. It's common sense. Is there anything 87 00:06:30.959 --> 00:06:36.040 worse in the United States Secret Service not taking accountability for a shot on the 88 00:06:36.079 --> 00:06:42.920 incoming president former president. No, it's right up there with child Protective Services 89 00:06:42.959 --> 00:06:46.000 not taking accountability for dead kids. What are you doing? You're sitting there 90 00:06:46.040 --> 00:06:49.639 making excuses. You're an excuses person. Is the head of the Secret Service? 91 00:06:49.959 --> 00:06:56.759 No, you should be in middle management somewhere working never mind, that's 92 00:06:56.800 --> 00:07:00.519 not nice. The point of the slope roof is also one of those questions 93 00:07:00.519 --> 00:07:09.560 where it's just mind boggling, considering there were four counter snipers on sloped roofs 94 00:07:10.040 --> 00:07:14.000 behind the president, and they're the ones we believe that took the guy out 95 00:07:14.160 --> 00:07:17.279 while sitting on a slope roof, and the exactly a twenty year old with 96 00:07:17.319 --> 00:07:23.120 no law enforcement experience is able to manage the slope roof, but yet the 97 00:07:23.160 --> 00:07:26.959 best in the business cannot. That does not hold water, nor does the 98 00:07:27.000 --> 00:07:31.560 excuse that a tree was obstructing the view. What a failure? What a 99 00:07:31.600 --> 00:07:40.800 failure? Failure? Is there anything happy today? I had? I had 100 00:07:41.360 --> 00:07:45.160 four shots of espresso this morning? Why usually I only have two? Did 101 00:07:45.199 --> 00:07:49.160 you I had four? Were you worried about your heart stopping or something? 102 00:07:49.800 --> 00:07:55.920 It felt like I felt like another double espresso and here we are. Good 103 00:07:56.000 --> 00:08:00.879 luck? Okay, all right, Well I'm going to need a bucket and 104 00:08:00.959 --> 00:08:07.360 a mock. Senator Bob Menendez out of New Jersey delivered with a sixteen guilty 105 00:08:07.519 --> 00:08:13.399 verdicts yesterday in his federal corruption trial. Derek Dennis has all the latest on 106 00:08:13.600 --> 00:08:18.480 the future and what we're going to do. What the protocol is for getting 107 00:08:18.519 --> 00:08:22.560 this guy to resign or voting to expel him. I guess if he doesn't 108 00:08:22.600 --> 00:08:26.519 step down, Derek, Right, it's a little murky right now. So 109 00:08:26.720 --> 00:08:33.960 after Senator Bob Menendez's conviction yesterday on sixteen counts of bribery and conspiracy charges, 110 00:08:35.360 --> 00:08:41.679 he came out of the courthouse defined as ever, saying he will not accept 111 00:08:41.679 --> 00:08:46.120 these charges, that he's going to vigorously appeal, that he's done nothing wrong. 112 00:08:48.200 --> 00:08:56.080 But prosecutors and certainly a Manhattan federal jury said otherwise that Menendez took bribes 113 00:08:56.080 --> 00:08:58.519 in the form of cash, some of which was found stuffed in clothing, 114 00:08:58.559 --> 00:09:03.320 in his clock posits at his house, gold bars, payments for a luxury 115 00:09:03.399 --> 00:09:09.279 Mercedes, convertible mortgage payments, and other things from three New Jersey businessmen in 116 00:09:09.320 --> 00:09:15.240 exchange for political favor in New Jersey and the federal government and in the governments 117 00:09:15.240 --> 00:09:18.919 of Egypt and Cutter. So that's what he's convicted of, including being a 118 00:09:20.039 --> 00:09:24.360 foreign agent in relation to the help for those businessmen in those foreign countries. 119 00:09:24.399 --> 00:09:31.120 And so Bob Menendez a convicted felon, but still a sitting US senator, 120 00:09:31.279 --> 00:09:35.399 And you talk about the efforts to either oust him from office or get him 121 00:09:35.440 --> 00:09:39.279 to resign. That's where the next step is. The quickest way would be 122 00:09:39.480 --> 00:09:43.480 for Senator Menndez to step aside, though he has vowed not to. In 123 00:09:43.519 --> 00:09:48.960 fact, he's still running for re election as an independent in November. So 124 00:09:50.000 --> 00:09:52.440 the other mechanism would be for the Senate to expel him, but that's a 125 00:09:52.519 --> 00:09:58.159 process. It involves bringing a resolution to the Senate floor to work its way 126 00:09:58.159 --> 00:10:01.039 through committee, and then ultimately a vote in the Senate, and there's no 127 00:10:01.080 --> 00:10:07.679 indication right now that that is imminent, though it could happen. The Ethics 128 00:10:07.720 --> 00:10:11.080 Committee in the Senate, also headed by Chris Coons and James Langford, are 129 00:10:11.360 --> 00:10:16.799 looking into this. Why. I mean, it seems to me like a 130 00:10:16.840 --> 00:10:22.240 conviction on sixteen felon accounts is enough for them to wrap up their investigation. 131 00:10:22.279 --> 00:10:26.240 Yeah. Sure, but you know, you have to keep in mind that 132 00:10:26.480 --> 00:10:33.200 in the Senate there's really not much like this in terms of precedent. I 133 00:10:33.240 --> 00:10:35.960 mean, certainly there have been senators who've been convicted of a crime, but 134 00:10:37.000 --> 00:10:41.679 it's been a number of years. Certainly as senators who have run a foul 135 00:10:41.720 --> 00:10:43.919 of the law, but most of or many have been able to beat those 136 00:10:45.000 --> 00:10:50.679 charges, including Senator Menendez who was brought up on other charges years ago related 137 00:10:50.679 --> 00:10:52.960 to a sex scandal, for instance, and he was able to beat those 138 00:10:54.080 --> 00:10:58.320 charges. And so it's sort of like, what do we do? Where 139 00:10:58.320 --> 00:11:01.879 do we go from here? That's what the Senate is grappling with and what 140 00:11:01.039 --> 00:11:05.200 is the best way to handle this? And so we're waiting for an announcement 141 00:11:05.200 --> 00:11:11.440 on it, whether it'll be the expulsion right the Ethics Committee or Senator Menendez 142 00:11:11.519 --> 00:11:16.840 himself stepping aside yet another elected official in America. We can be so proud 143 00:11:16.840 --> 00:11:22.039 of Derek Dennis, Thank you so much for that embarrassing report about America and 144 00:11:22.080 --> 00:11:26.399 who we put in power. We go it's our fault. It's our fault, 145 00:11:26.440 --> 00:11:31.039 our fault. All right, we will pivot. We'll head over to 146 00:11:31.159 --> 00:11:35.960 Milwaukee and talk about what happened last night in the Republican National Convention. People 147 00:11:35.000 --> 00:11:39.320 like Nikki Haley and Ronda Santis and people who kind of savaged Donald Trump a 148 00:11:39.360 --> 00:11:43.840 few months ago, full throated endorsements. Last I heard Laura Trump had a 149 00:11:43.879 --> 00:11:48.559 good night. I haven't heard her comments yet. She did, she did. 150 00:11:48.600 --> 00:11:52.960 It was a very personal I don't know, it was a very personal 151 00:11:54.039 --> 00:11:58.320 humanized. Yeah, she talked a lot about him as a grandpa, which 152 00:11:58.399 --> 00:12:03.159 is which is kind of funny compared to the way people are savaging Joe Biden 153 00:12:03.320 --> 00:12:09.120 for his grandpawness grandpa, but referring to him to Trump as a guy who 154 00:12:09.480 --> 00:12:15.519 you the best moments are the ones where it's just him and his grandkids. 155 00:12:16.080 --> 00:12:20.519 So there's a new survey by ap North Center for Public Affairs and it finds 156 00:12:20.559 --> 00:12:28.559 nearly two thirds of Democrats say Biden should withdraw water. Rescues and evacuation has 157 00:12:28.600 --> 00:12:33.399 taken place in northern Arkansas today. Rising water has inundated homes and businesses. 158 00:12:33.600 --> 00:12:39.200 National Weather Service issued a pretty rare flash flood emergency for that area in Marion 159 00:12:39.360 --> 00:12:43.799 County, near the state's border with Missouri. It affects only a few thousand 160 00:12:43.799 --> 00:12:48.360 people, but it is pretty crazy considering the time of year. Severe storms, 161 00:12:48.440 --> 00:12:52.320 at least tornadoes also ravaged New York State overnight, leaving a trail of 162 00:12:52.360 --> 00:12:56.000 destruction. At least one person was killed. The theme for Day three of 163 00:12:56.039 --> 00:13:01.399 the RNZ is make America Strong once Again. But before we get to that 164 00:13:01.600 --> 00:13:07.840 and talking about jd Vance headlining tonight speakers, let's talk about what happened last 165 00:13:07.919 --> 00:13:11.519 night, big night for party unity. Robert Sherman is joining us. He's 166 00:13:11.559 --> 00:13:16.559 a national correspondent for News Nation there in Milwaukee, and we saw Nicky Haley, 167 00:13:16.759 --> 00:13:20.240 We saw Ron DeSantis, we saw Marco Ruby, we saw some people 168 00:13:20.240 --> 00:13:24.320 who a few months ago would have been saying nasty things about Donald Trump say 169 00:13:24.320 --> 00:13:28.200 some pretty nice things. Yeah. I mean, I think you hit the 170 00:13:28.240 --> 00:13:31.639 nail on the head right there. Just a couple of months ago, the 171 00:13:31.679 --> 00:13:35.600 Republican Party did have some very clear divisions within it, and Nicki Haley was 172 00:13:35.639 --> 00:13:39.120 really at the tip of the spear of all that. A lot of her 173 00:13:39.200 --> 00:13:43.120 supporters very against the former president, really no appetite to go out and vote 174 00:13:43.120 --> 00:13:48.000 for him under any circumstance. Potentially would even vote for President Biden before they'd 175 00:13:48.039 --> 00:13:52.840 vote for the former president. But then you saw Nicki Haley coming out last 176 00:13:52.960 --> 00:13:56.759 night and saying, look, I don't agree with the former president on a 177 00:13:56.759 --> 00:14:01.000 lot of things, but that doesn't really matter. She's trying to get all 178 00:14:01.039 --> 00:14:05.399 of her people to go out and support mister Trump. And I think it's 179 00:14:05.440 --> 00:14:11.799 just worth noting here is that you have seen this message of unity really starting 180 00:14:11.799 --> 00:14:16.519 to come together. Ever since that Saturday assassination to Tim Mickey. Haley was 181 00:14:16.519 --> 00:14:22.039 not supposed to speak yesterday. She was a late ad after that Saturday attack 182 00:14:22.200 --> 00:14:26.960 in Butler, Pennsylvania. And that's where you've really started to see this message 183 00:14:26.960 --> 00:14:31.519 of unity coming from. The former president has rewritten his RNZ speech which will 184 00:14:31.519 --> 00:14:35.240 be given on Thursday, less of an emphasis on Biden, more on party 185 00:14:35.559 --> 00:14:39.000 and national unity, So that'll be the big thing to look out for there. 186 00:14:39.399 --> 00:14:45.720 Ron DeSantis looked really good and comfortable last night, which was a departure 187 00:14:45.759 --> 00:14:50.600 from what we saw when he was running for president. And we really haven't 188 00:14:50.639 --> 00:14:52.960 seen too much of an in the middle of the spotlight ever since he bowed 189 00:14:54.000 --> 00:14:58.639 out of the race in the early part of the primary process. He's mostly 190 00:14:58.720 --> 00:15:01.879 been on the operations that have been ongoing in Florida. But you are right, 191 00:15:03.080 --> 00:15:07.440 it is a really strong speech that he gave last night, not only 192 00:15:07.480 --> 00:15:13.039 criticizing President Biden, but supporting the former president as well. You also brought 193 00:15:13.080 --> 00:15:16.840 up Marco Rubio, You had Ted Cruz up there. I mean, all 194 00:15:16.840 --> 00:15:20.759 of these people were at one point and another rifles with the former president and 195 00:15:20.840 --> 00:15:24.679 all of them coming out holding the standard for him. It is very clear 196 00:15:24.679 --> 00:15:28.000 that This is the message that they're really trying to pound the table with here 197 00:15:28.039 --> 00:15:33.240 today. All Right, So as we get closer, we know that jd 198 00:15:33.360 --> 00:15:37.200 Vance is going to be the headliner tonight. Expectations, I mean, do 199 00:15:37.279 --> 00:15:41.519 we know? I haven't seen him deliver any sort of long form speeches, 200 00:15:41.559 --> 00:15:45.279 so I mean, what kind of reputation does he have? Well, the 201 00:15:45.320 --> 00:15:48.559 big thing here is that when you walk around this convention center, it feels 202 00:15:48.600 --> 00:15:54.600 as though that people were either very satisfied with the move to put jd Vance 203 00:15:54.639 --> 00:15:58.159 on the ticket, but there's also a lot of people here who admit they 204 00:15:58.159 --> 00:16:03.639 don't really know too much about him. He hasn't been in the game that 205 00:16:03.919 --> 00:16:07.480 long. He's been a United States Senator for just two years. So it 206 00:16:07.559 --> 00:16:11.519 is a big question without doubt. I mean, this is tonight is the 207 00:16:11.600 --> 00:16:18.840 biggest moment of the now VP nominees' career in politics up to this point, 208 00:16:18.000 --> 00:16:22.600 and so this will be one an opportunity for him to introduce himself to voters 209 00:16:22.639 --> 00:16:27.080 around the country and an introduction to the national spotlight. But also does he 210 00:16:27.120 --> 00:16:32.080 play off with those tropes of unity as well? One thing that he does 211 00:16:32.120 --> 00:16:36.960 focus heavily on are his sets of experiences from the memoir that he wrote, 212 00:16:37.000 --> 00:16:41.879 He'll Billy Elegy, focusing on growing up in southern Ohio and with the backdrop 213 00:16:41.919 --> 00:16:47.759 of the Appellations behind him and all the issues that he saw firsthand that surround 214 00:16:48.639 --> 00:16:52.080 working class Americans and rural America. That's a big part of his story. 215 00:16:52.360 --> 00:16:56.120 Without question, that's going to be a big piece of it. I wouldn't 216 00:16:56.159 --> 00:17:03.039 be surprised if he gets into the twenty six team motto of America first. 217 00:17:03.440 --> 00:17:07.319 What I do know about him is he's more of an isolationist. There were 218 00:17:07.359 --> 00:17:11.359 some world leaders Ukraine for example, that was saying, well, he did 219 00:17:11.400 --> 00:17:15.799 flip on Trump. He was a never Trump guy and now he's ride or 220 00:17:15.839 --> 00:17:18.079 die for Trump, and that maybe his mind can be changed a little bit. 221 00:17:18.400 --> 00:17:22.920 But he's definitely in America first. Let's take care of our country and 222 00:17:22.960 --> 00:17:27.160 our people first before we start handing over billions of dollars to other places. 223 00:17:27.799 --> 00:17:33.599 Yeah, that is, without question a focal point of his rhetoric up to 224 00:17:33.640 --> 00:17:36.519 this point. I mean, he's been very outspoken on the war in Ukraine 225 00:17:37.039 --> 00:17:41.279 in which he thinks that the United States. He contends the United States doesn't 226 00:17:41.279 --> 00:17:44.880 have a national and vested interest and what goes on in Ukraine. He's been 227 00:17:45.000 --> 00:17:48.799 very focused on taking care of domestic issues here and he wants that to be 228 00:17:49.160 --> 00:17:53.519 a focal point as well. So yes, I mean, world leaders are 229 00:17:53.839 --> 00:17:56.920 interested in what he's going to have to stay on that. But I mean, 230 00:17:56.920 --> 00:18:00.880 you made a very good point in two thousand and sixteen. He did 231 00:18:00.880 --> 00:18:06.079 not like former President Donald Trump. He was not a Trump guy, and 232 00:18:06.119 --> 00:18:08.160 he says that he admits that, and he talks about that. It's been 233 00:18:08.279 --> 00:18:12.480 very open in Canada about that, and says that his mind has totally changed 234 00:18:12.519 --> 00:18:17.119 on that issue with what he saw the former president doing in that first term. 235 00:18:17.799 --> 00:18:22.440 Is our other topics and other issues malleable to him as well? We 236 00:18:22.559 --> 00:18:25.920 shall see. I mean again, I mean, he's only been in the 237 00:18:26.039 --> 00:18:30.839 United States Senate for two years. There isn't a long list of a political 238 00:18:30.960 --> 00:18:34.000 record that voters have to work with here. So that's part of the reason 239 00:18:34.000 --> 00:18:37.400 why there's such a focus on this speech tonight at a big introduction to the 240 00:18:37.519 --> 00:18:41.599 national stage, and there's no All Star Game to compete with, so he's 241 00:18:41.599 --> 00:18:45.799 probably gonna have a little few more eyes on him. Maybe, Yeah, 242 00:18:45.839 --> 00:18:48.160 there you go, there you go, all right, Robert, thank you 243 00:18:48.200 --> 00:18:52.400 appreciated, of course. Robert Sherman there with the News Nation where of their 244 00:18:52.480 --> 00:18:56.599 national correspondents covering the story in Milwaukee. I have some Olympics news. Oh 245 00:18:56.680 --> 00:19:00.960 okay, there's a couple things that have happened. One of the things that 246 00:19:00.000 --> 00:19:04.119 they've talked about for the Olympics in Paris, which start what two weeks I 247 00:19:04.119 --> 00:19:10.240 think or a week a little more than a week, the plan for the 248 00:19:10.279 --> 00:19:15.720 opening ceremonies is to not do it in a stadium. They would do it 249 00:19:15.039 --> 00:19:21.599 along the river senn Is. That how they say that in Paris. And 250 00:19:22.960 --> 00:19:29.680 one of the problems they've had with the river saying is it's full of human 251 00:19:29.759 --> 00:19:33.400 excrement and has been for one hundred plus years, ever since they built the 252 00:19:33.440 --> 00:19:38.480 sewer system in Paris where back you know, in the eighteen fifth seventies, 253 00:19:38.640 --> 00:19:44.279 whatever it was, they agreed they all thought, if you just put zipoop 254 00:19:44.359 --> 00:19:48.119 in Zawattre, it goes away. And now we have politicians swimming in it 255 00:19:48.240 --> 00:19:55.559 right today. Okay, So the mayor of Paris, and hildal Hidalgo had 256 00:19:55.640 --> 00:20:02.200 said for months since Paris was a of the Olympics, that she would swim 257 00:20:02.319 --> 00:20:07.359 in the river sand to prove that it is not full of baby ruth bars. 258 00:20:08.160 --> 00:20:14.200 Today, she finally did it. After multiple delays caused by a combination 259 00:20:14.319 --> 00:20:19.200 of torrential rain domestic politics, she took to the river. They have an 260 00:20:19.279 --> 00:20:25.759 engineering project that costs well above what the original sewer system cost. It was 261 00:20:25.799 --> 00:20:32.079 one and a half billion dollars to try to prevent the amount of sewage and 262 00:20:32.200 --> 00:20:37.599 industrial waste from simply flowing into the river. The result is they hope a 263 00:20:37.680 --> 00:20:42.799 river that is clean enough, not just for opening ceremonies where people would be 264 00:20:42.839 --> 00:20:48.839 riding in boats, I assume, but the triathlon swimming portion would be in 265 00:20:48.839 --> 00:20:52.119 the river, and two ten kilometers swimming events that are supposed to take place 266 00:20:52.119 --> 00:20:56.640 in the river as well. Where's the best hot dog you've ever had in 267 00:20:56.680 --> 00:21:00.119 Paris? Really? You know, I've never been at Paris. The best 268 00:21:00.119 --> 00:21:04.000 hot dog I've ever had? Yeah, I had a friend who one time 269 00:21:04.079 --> 00:21:07.759 made hot dogs wrapped in bacon. Now I know that that in and of 270 00:21:07.799 --> 00:21:11.920 itself will put you on the toilet. Well, it's not unusual because you 271 00:21:11.920 --> 00:21:18.119 can buy them stadiums. Yeah, but it was perfectly crisped. That's bacon. 272 00:21:18.240 --> 00:21:22.720 That's the key. You don't want to undercook the bacon wrapped on the 273 00:21:22.759 --> 00:21:26.640 hot dog. There's about seven carts on the exit that I leave from so 274 00:21:26.839 --> 00:21:32.799 far that area of the stadium that I leave, and I've identified the best 275 00:21:32.839 --> 00:21:37.680 hot dog cart. I've tried all of them, but I've identified the best 276 00:21:37.759 --> 00:21:41.200 one. It's usually the women that do a better job with crisping the bacon. 277 00:21:41.400 --> 00:21:45.720 The men are a little willy nilly when it comes to the bacon. 278 00:21:45.920 --> 00:21:48.960 Sometimes you've got some parts of the bacon that aren't cooked through, and that's 279 00:21:49.000 --> 00:21:55.119 when you really run into some problems, especially if they're stadium traffic getting out. 280 00:21:55.200 --> 00:21:59.799 Do you mean digestive problem? Digestive problems? Correct urgencies? Urgencies? 281 00:22:00.880 --> 00:22:03.240 But there's a woman, she's about four to seven, she's very small, 282 00:22:03.880 --> 00:22:07.799 and she kills those things. Does she stand on a little step stool behind 283 00:22:07.880 --> 00:22:11.279 the behind the hot dog cars? She does so you can see her. 284 00:22:11.440 --> 00:22:15.880 Yeah? Yeah, And do you get out the super quiet? She's not 285 00:22:15.960 --> 00:22:18.519 one of the people that like calls you over because she knows how good her 286 00:22:18.519 --> 00:22:21.920 hot dogs are. Listen, it's word of mouth at that point, and 287 00:22:21.960 --> 00:22:23.680 it's not word from her mouth, it's just word of mouth from other people. 288 00:22:25.119 --> 00:22:26.279 Do you stop the vehicle to get out. No, no, no, 289 00:22:26.279 --> 00:22:29.880 there is. You're walking out of the stadium. Oh you walk out, 290 00:22:29.960 --> 00:22:32.359 got it? Okay, I thought you meant and then you grab ramp 291 00:22:32.400 --> 00:22:34.039 and I thought you was thinking on ramp. You grab your dog on the 292 00:22:34.039 --> 00:22:37.759 way to the car, right, that's a small chomp, chomp, chomp, 293 00:22:37.799 --> 00:22:41.319 and then finish that thing. Just just make an ugly spectacle. Oh 294 00:22:41.359 --> 00:22:44.279 you can. Well, you're walking and you're usually I'm usually by myself, 295 00:22:44.319 --> 00:22:47.680 so I can just look like a complete animal. That's one way to ensure 296 00:22:47.720 --> 00:22:52.000 that you stay alone is by It's by walking and eating a massive hot dog 297 00:22:52.119 --> 00:22:57.599 with food coming out of your mouth. Hey, everybody, look, Secretariat's 298 00:22:57.599 --> 00:23:04.839 about to eat a hot dog. And somewhere in the background, there's somebody 299 00:23:04.880 --> 00:23:15.279 playing a triangle yelling fit.
