It's Night Side with Dan Ray w Besy Constans Radio, Gary Tag. We're
hearing from Dance Back tomorrow night. Don't worry, folks, only one night
of me coming up with September. I'll be in for a week, just
giving you a plenty of time to plan ahead. Okay, we're gonna lighten
things up a little bit. I've known this guy for a long time.
He's the Emmy Award winning creator and producer of Intervention. He is a comedy
stand up comedian. He is also a writer and actor. And he is
a huge political jokie. And I'm calling him my my expert political analyst tonight
because it's after eleven o'clock and I need to laugh. Sam Mettler, how
are you It's eleven o'clock Gary, What are you doing up? I'm trying.
I'm trying to bring home a little cash shoulder, a little bit,
just a little bit for you, for you you were working nice years ago.
Yeah that was a long time ago, kid, long time ago.
Well, well I was. I was thinking about your time, you know,
back in the zone, when you were working nights on Washington Street.
Uh, never mind, okay, the zone, Sam, that's even before
my time. Believe me, if I was working, then I'd still be
homeless. Sam Betler, how's it going on? You know what it's going
on. It's going all right, it's going all right. The world is
falling apart. But you know, okay, so here, here we go,
let's get to it. Sam, how do you feel right now about
our society? Society? Well, it was funny. The guy a couple
of dollars ago said that he thought that Joe had the mojoe to keep going
right, which I thought was hilarious. Yeah, because I did not see
that at all. Yes, if moe stands for loss of motor skills,
yes, perhaps. I don't know. If you heard his speech tonight,
Gary, Yeah, well I did. We had it here alive on WBZ.
Oh my, it wasn't good. Well you know what it no,
Sammy, you know what it was. It just reinforced that he made the
right decision. You know, he sounds like a guy after a big Pats
game, after like a few beers, and he's been shouting the whole game,
and now his voice is this, and he's he an't quite pronounced thing.
He's got that delivery now where he tries to the low the soda voice,
you know, the low voice with the with the punchline like mister cook
my shop teacher who who was the driver, said guy back at Newton South
High School who had like three good fingers, you know, and each one
of them had the blood, you know, bruise underneath the fingernail. And
he's say, Sammy, the Pats are gonna win the Super Bowl. Yeah,
yeah, of course nineteen eighty four. Yeah yeah, right right,
yeah, yeah, not gonna happen. It's it's and the plastic surgery makes
it look even worse now when you oh god, oh it's terrible, terrible,
and I know Trump's had it, but it bides as awful. It
ain't good. It's you know, it's really really tight. So the eyes
he can't blink, Kenny, No, I mean it's like even Courtney Cox
said, look, I shouldn't have got it as she went overboard with it,
totally went overboard. I mean that's why people said, people said during
the debate he was lost. No, his face was just so tight he
couldn't smile, Yes, yes, I mean, and the mouth was a
gape, which is a terrible look. You know what he reminds me of
it's terrible to say because he's a good human being. This guy, right,
absolutely a really good person. And he reminds me of Grandpa, you
know, at home and somebody says we're having company, what do you do
with bop? You know? Right? Right, that's the problem. I'm
in the garage now. Now do you think if he had bailed earlier it
would have been better? Or do you think it's better now for Harris that
she doesn't have as much, She doesn't have as long a time to mess
up because I think brevity is next to godliness now because of the news cycle.
Well, you know what the problem is, you still need to gear
up a campaign, right, And even though yes, absolutely, how come
because I don't know, man, I mean this this rap thing on TikTok
may get her elected so much as small ball, You've got to go to
the states. You got to gear up your campaign in you know, especially
you know the swing states. Right, Mobilization is a big deal, and
it's it is it is handshaking, and it is going out and and and
and doing you know, a local politics. And I think that's I think
that's very very tough in the lake. Well, the back of your point
stats do show that of all the money that spent, it does not have
the effect that door to door shaking somebody's hand at a diner does retail retail
politics, my friend, you know, that's why Hillary when she didn't go
to Wisconsin. Really that was the presidency right there, and she was not
good at that. She was not good at that now I remember, Yeah,
she was terrible at that. I remember there was a column written and
she was on the bus. She got off the bus, she went inside
to I don't know what, at whatever restaurant it was something to go place,
and got a salad, didn't say anything to the people, got back
and just literally got back on the bus and like went to work. And
the point was made by someone in the press who was following her that her
husband, Bill would have had the salad in the restaurant, would have known
everybody's name. He may have hit on a cook or two, but hey,
who knows the economy was good, and then then he would then he
would have known, he would have known everybody's name by the time he left.
Yep, yeah, you have to get the hook out to stop Bill
Clinton from talking to people, right right, I mean, you have to
extricate him right, because he loves that. He loves politics. That's why.
I mean when you talk about a guy who no one I mean I
remember, no one knew who the hell he was. No No, I
mean it really, you know, unbelievable, which is, you know,
shows how much you know bush One was was disliked as well. I mean
it was very it's very unusual. I still think that didn't want to win.
I kind of feel like, I really I think he was like,
I'm good, I got one term I wanted. Hey, I remember that
campaign, and I just thought, man, he just does not seem to
be into it. Like when you lost. I thought he ran the kinnebunk
Port. Yeah, pretty much, you know. I mean really he just
didn't seem to I A, it's just me. It's just my thought on
that. Yeah. But I mean I blame I really blame the people around
Biden who basically covered up, oh the disaster his I mean, how do
you do that about the doctor business? How many doctor business? You know?
That didn't look great. But I do have a comment. I do
have something to say in defensive body. Sam. That's coming up next.
Sam Medler's our guest talking politics, Sam's a writer, Emmy Award winning producer
and comedian. He joins us from the left coast right here on WBC's Night
Side. And again, one thing I think you have to just say,
Okay, Joe, I get it. That's next. Now back to Dan
Ray live from the Window World night Side Studios on WBZ News Radio. My
Gary Tank way for Dan right tonight. Dan's going to be back tomorrow evening
President Biden saying so long taking his victory lap tonight, had that earlier here
on WBZ and basically been talking about politics and polic every sense of joining us
my buddy Sam Metler, comedian, writer, Emmy Awooe winning producer. One
of the things that I understand Sam with President Biden is it's tough for a
guy to quit, you know, and I kind of want. I'm kind
of glad in hindsight that he went kicking and screaming. I don't know if
it mattered, but you know, the debate was so bad, and at
first I was being critical of the first lady, what are you doing bringing
him up there? What are you doing encouraging him? But like it was
his life, he spent over fifty years doing it and he certainly could have
made more money in the private sector, so how can we expect anything else.
But Biden did pretty much go kicking and screaming to the end. And
if he didn't get COVID, I'm not so sure he quits. You know
what it's it's terrible. You got to take the car keys sometimes from gramps.
Oh yeah, right, that's what happened. That's exactly what happened.
And you know, I created the show Intervention on A and E Monday nights.
Everybody, and you know, we've been on for about twenty years.
But I've seen this so often where people get dug in because they cannot see
what everybody else sees, right, right, I mean, that's that's that's
the big thing. I mean, I've had parents last month, three car
accidents between the two of them, and we're going to have to sit down
and go hmm. And luckily they do well, so you know they can
get a driver. I mean, this is this is a lot bigger than
that, right, This is driving my dad to you know, crack a
barrel. This is this is about driving the country. And first of all,
your dad has never been a cracker barrel in his life. But go
ahead. That's that's true. Why I'm trying to play down home? Yeah
yeah, but Nate, now play to the people. Yes, I'm trying
to play to the people. I'm one of you. Uh yeah, I
mean this was the kicking a scream. I disagree with you. I disagree
with you. I think, I mean, I think everybody has to know
when they don't have their fastball anymore, they don't mean Seinfeld, they just
don't Sam It's against human nature. I understand that it was up to everyone
around him that I agree with to push this. Well before I got with
you on that, I mean, let off stage, he wandered up.
And then you hear, like Chuck Todd an NBC say that he two years
ago heard from a cabinet member that there's no way he can or should run
again. Right, well, nobody reported well also, well, yeah,
I mean that that's that's plain wrong. But then you know, you hear
the rumors that missus Biden wanted him to run again, and if she had
said he should run again, or if Trump wasn't running again, he wouldn't
have gone. But the party should have been more assertive early on. To
me, I felt the Democratic Party wasn't confident enough and wasn't proactive enough to
have somebody ready to go. I think they get caught. They get caught
with their past. I think that they thought they could keep up the charade
of him being in control of all his facts. Yeah, because the options
were not there, and it wasn't till it was so so obvious, like
a mule kick to the head of America. Watching him in that debate,
did everyon go, Holy caw, this is this is really really, really
bad. I mean, because the other guy just speaks in circles and lies
and you know, nobody even paid attention to him because Biden was so bad.
Yeah, but you know what I mean. I listen, I'm not
a Trump fan by any stretch of the imagination. Right, he doesn't look
feeble, No, he looks great. Here's the thing and if Sammy,
here's the thing with Trump, if he had he would have got re elected,
if he just basically shut up or didn't say anything stupid or didn't I
mean, if he had just continued to like play the role of president,
he would have gone another four years. He's the bad boy who likes attention
by being the bad boy, right, and that killed him. That killed
him all he had to do. But you're right, he looks good.
His hair is fine. I mean, he doesn't look his age. He
speaks well. Whatever he says, as wrong as it is, he says
with conviction. Then how badass was he in that assassination attempt? For coming?
My god, are you kidding? I mean, terrible, tragic,
But yeah, he raises his fist. As soon as he raised his fists,
I was like, Okay, he's going to win. He's gonna wines
Gary. I would have been in the fetal position. They would have been
carrying me out. In the fetal position. My pants would not have looked
dry. Be worried about his shoes. Screw the shoes. Somebody get me
out of here. Well, the thing about Trump is, from what I
know of people that have dealt with him in New York, you know,
Trump's always been a fighter because while he acts like the bull in all honesty,
early on he was bullied. I mean you probably know this. He
was never considered as part of the in crowd of the New York elite.
As a matter of fact, they really were embarrassed by him. Of course
they were. He's on the cover of People magazine every other week doing something
naughty, right, Well, you know for then, you know when he
started to because he makes some of his dad's money and he was never on
the in crowd. Yes, no, no, and and it's it's like
the it's sort of like the runt of the litter that has to prove himself
over and over. And that's why he relates to this constituency because this constituency
that is here, they have felt unheard, they have felt unloved, and
so did he. Well, they're not wrong, by the way, of
course, they're not wrong, because look, the problem the Democrats have made
is they have ignored the moderates. They've ignored the middle. Yep, no
question. Yeah, I'm a moderate. I can't stand either side on neither
can I. I'm down the middle too. I'm like, pay your bills,
but you know if you want to. You know, I'm all for
civil civil liberties. I don't care who gets married. I don't care who
goes out with you. I don't care. You know, it's your body
and all that. Let's just not go broke. Yes, yes, I
mean I my preferred pronoun is that. Yes, but you're that But you're
but yeah, but you're very it's that as in, uh, look at
that, look at that? So so okay, but let's talk about that.
Let's talk about the appeal here because you are a writer, your producer,
you know talent, you know the TV show, right, because that's
what it is now. It's a TV show. Sure, it always has
been, by the way, since it's Kennedy, Kennedy and Nixon. Yeah,
yeah, Kennedy and Nixon. But now the TV show changes every twenty
seconds. Do you think TikTok and the brat movement and the youth who weren't
even part of the picture before Kamala became involved will have an impact on the
election? They don't vote as much, scary, but will they because of
her? But will they? Now? Will they? Will it become cool
to vote? Never? Sorry, I don't know. Politics are not Politics
are not cool. They're just not you know. I mean, kids are
always kids and they frankly, I don't care as much because you know,
kids are still about themselves. You know. The the is it's the cerebral
cortex or the frontal cortex that hasn't been completely hasn't been developed. I still
have the soft spot on the back of my head. Year. Yeah,
they they don't. I mean, yes, they will protest because that's cool,
right, and and it is it is culling clout right to put something
on TikTok, but to actually go and vote and to know exactly what's going
on, they don't. Well, you don't have to know what's going on
to vote. And by the way, I don't think you have to be
young to not know what's going on. Yeah, because listen, I don't
know. We had Dave Paliologos, who is from from Soft Compulsory. He
goes, no, people vote with emotion. They don't vote on topics.
Yeah, they they want emotion, they totally do. But yes, but
I but here's my thing is they can you can vote now by mail?
I mean if you could vote on TikTok, I mean Harris would be in.
But I think you can vote by mail if there becomes a youth movement.
I'm just keeping an eye on it. That's all because over the last
four years, or last eight years for that matter, we have seen first
things have happened that have never happened before. Right, So I disagree with
that, but go ahead, tell me what's happened. That's never happened before.
Well, I mean, okay, you could say Reagan got elected,
but Trump got elected. Trump got elected. They tried to overthrow the government
and the president stood by. I mean, and now you have a guy
that bails out after he's running and you got to put in the vice president.
I mean, maybe we have to go back to the eighteen hundreds.
But I mean COVID right, I yeah, I can't recall of a president
mid candidacy. I'm dropping out. I mean, yeah, I can't.
I can't, I can't. I mean, of course, we've had one
term presidence that yeah, I share. Yeah, that's you know, joh
one term, yeah, yeah. I mean, I mean it's a reality
it's a reality show more than ever. I mean, Sam, I understand
what you're saying. But at least like Kennedy or Nixon or Clinton, who
we talked about. These guys were great television politicians, not Nixon, but
I mean Kennedy. But they but they want to they want a reality show
host. I mean Trump doesn't. I mean, look, people, there
are certain sections that they love him, and he is connected and he knows
what he's doing by not knowing what he's doing, but does he really understand
policy, does he really? I mean he just kind of gives his opinion
and says, let him pay for it. Put up the wall. Yeah,
I don't know, he's a policy I don't think he would be called
a wonk. No, Gary, No, that's my point. So it's
like in terms of things that have never happened before, Garrett. You know,
remember we had a civil war, So I mean what happened in DC.
No, But I mean, like what happened in d C was awful,
awful, awful, right, but it's not a civil war. Right.
The people don't talk about this, and I'm not going to make them
equivalent, but I mean you had in Seattle, you had you know,
the far left taking over city blocks, common bearing sections of the city and
saying it's ours now. Right in Portland you had people burning down a courthouse.
Right. You have people in the United States actually rooting for a terrorist
organization, right, I mean not just pro Palestinian, but pro Hamas.
And there is a difference, absolutely, absolutely, I mean, and and
we we've had, I mean, our our history, all of history is
loaded with strife and war and awful things, and we happen to have you
know, since you know, Vietnam ended, you know, all the way
up to the Gulf War. I mean a tremendous amount of peace and years
and years of peace and not a ton of strife. And that's more unusual
than, you know, than the rest of history of having you know,
awfulness point. We'll take it. Sam Metler's our guess. We have to
take a break, going to get a news update here on the bottom of
the hour. Get back into it. Find out who's gonna win, uh
Trump or just Harris? If a shot? Will the TikTok generation do it?
More? Coming up on WBC's Night Side, Don't go away. It's
Night Side with Dan Ray on WBZ Boston's news radio Bhi, Dan, Thank
you very much. Gary tangling for Dan Ray Tonight's and joining us is a
Sam Metler I mean, award winning producer of Intervention, comedian and writer talk
in the little politics here. Okay, Sammy, here's the thing. I'm
gonna give you a chance to play campaign manager for both candidates. Let's start
with Trump. You're in charge now, He's not gonna listen to anything you
say. But what would you tell Donald Trump if you were running his campaign?
Shut up? Yeah, I mean, you know what I just saw
an ad oh a stand up comedian. Shoot you may know her. He
yeah, you actually may know her. But but the line she just said
was, guys, if you want to get lucky, this is what you
do. You say, I really enjoyed this evening. I'm so glad I
met you. I'm having a wonderful time. And just shut up for the
rest of your life, she said, Gary, Gary Sales, Sales is
shut up. Yeah, oh yeah, And I mean he he comes off
an assassination attempt with his fist in the air, with the American flag behind
him. Then he starts off and the convention was an outstanding convention. They
really ran an outstanding convention. It was flawless. He gets up, I
want to be president for everyone, and then and help himself. He cannot
help himself. They said, don't mention Biden. He shouldn't have mentioned him.
He should. I mean, he was riding this wave of badassory and
he can't help being mean, and he can't help being hyperbolic and lying,
and it's just it's like when he first was elected in twenty twenty, everyone
said, well, you know he's going to be elected, and then he'll
take the turn to be come presidential. And then in that inauguration speech,
it was the worst. It was pugnacious, it was isolationist. I mean,
the fact that this guy doesn't believe in NATO is to me terrifying.
You got to pay for it, pay for it? Yeah, well,
listen, I understand that by the way. I understand that by the way,
right that that that we don't get as much as we give. Right,
but you, but if you're going to be a world power, that's
the way it goes. The exchange is that's your chip exactly. And Gary,
you know, when you go into a high class restaurant or a show
and you want a good table, you grease a palm. And that's what
America does, and we do it rather well. And from from that we
are supposed to get, you know, a certain amount of loyalty when God
forbid, you've got you know, bad actors in this world, right that
you've got a team behind you. An attack against one of us as an
attack against all of us, right, And I hate the isolationism. It
drives me nuts me too, right, you know, absolutely not that I
think Kamala is going to be a diplomatic genius, right, I mean she
hasn't done it. Sure, Sure, I mean, listen, there are
plenty of governors who haven't had, you know, world affair type experience and
have done a hell of a job at that CEO of the country. And
I think a lot of people look at it as being a CEO, and
Donald, you know, being a CEO is the good fit. I just
don't think he is necessarily a great boss. I don't, you know,
I think that he is again too childish, too angry, you know,
I don't think. I mean people people actually believe he's got a political and
moral compass. He doesn't. You know, they keep they keep talking about
they keep talking about Project twenty twenty five. Do you think do you think
Trump? Trump cares about Project twenty twenty five, about you care about anybody?
Yes, he does. He's not a policy guy. I got to
tell you, though, His foreign policy was better than Obama and better than
Biden's, right, because the one thing he has right is he's tough,
right, and I think you need a certain amount of toughness, right.
Yeah, I don't know if you ever heard what he the head of the
Taliban, you know what he had told him about the Afghanistan withdrawal, because
Trump told the head of the Taliban that we were going to withdraw from Afghanistan.
And you know this is according to reports, you know, not just
right wing reports, but you know actual news reports that that he basically said,
I'm gonna I'm getting out of there. If you touch a hair in
the head of any of my guys or any of my equipment, you got
problems. And he gave the guy a a satellite picture of his house that
you could see people in the yard. Right, he goes, we know
where you live, right, and the and the and the the guy did
he called him your excellency right right, no, And and you know Biden
was just softer, right, I mean, I would love to have you
know, uh, you know, a a Mitt Romney, someone who is
moderate, who is common sense but is also sharp and tough. Right.
I mean, no voter, I will tell you right now, I voted
for Romney, yep. And then I voted for Obama the second time around.
But the first time I voted for Romney. The only Republican to stand
up and applaud Katanji Brown Jackson for being the first black woman justice was Romney.
Right, he's a good man. He's not he's a good man.
Yes, you know, I mean McCain. McCain was a good man.
I mean, yeah, it was a little crazy, well yeah, but
I mean, god, I mean, but he's a good man. I
mean, if you're tortured for years, it's okay, it's okay. You
know, I think it might have an effect on your mental health a little
bit. Yeah, But like I mean that John McCain was a hell of
a hell of a leader. Yeah, I mean, of course, I
mean but but that's the thing is that, you know, when you take
a look at the Supreme Court, I mean, Trump wants to be king.
That's my you know, that's the thing again. I thought about voting
for Trump when he first when he was running against Hillary. I went,
I was open to it, you know. And then but then boy Twitter,
then he gets on Twitter, and then you know, January sixth,
and I just keep going back to January sixth, where people died, you
know, people died, and he stood by and did nothing. And that,
to me, that's that just wipes everything out. I understand about the
economy, I understand about some things. You said. People text and they
call the show and they think I hate Trump. January sixth is the reason
I hate him, and I shouldn't even say hates a strong word. January
sixth is the reason why I can't vote for him. That's it, That's
it. I mean, Gary, he wanted to go back to the capital,
I know, all the insurrection was happening and lead them I know,
and the Secret Service said hold on, yeah, I mean he grabbed his
dry. I mean, he wanted to be taken over there. I mean,
he would not disavow, he would not dissuade. He didn't. I
mean he was watching it on TV and everyone's begging him to say something and
do something and tell him to stop right and in guards and people are people
are dying, I mean people that people You're attack. Your vice president is
under attack, Yeah, you know, I mean what else? I mean
that's the thing. And then the Republican Party is just so afraid of him,
and there hasn't been anybody else to challenge him, and nuh it's believe
me, if there was another Republican I'd consider it, But anyway becomes so
tribal. Gary Pardy over everything. It's yeah, it sucks. Uh.
I want to get your thought. We got one more segment with Sam Methler
the dous and Notes for Kamala Harris. So we just talked about Trump.
Now we have to go to the other side of the aisle with Sam Medler
coming up next on WBC's night Side. Now back to Dan red Line from
the Window World night Side Studios on w b Z News Radio, Gary Tang,
we finishing things out for Dan Ray tonight. Uh. Sam Mettler is
my guest, have you Award winning producer of Intervention, comedian writer, Uh,
political junkie, Sam. I I before we get to Kamal, I
wanted to ask you about Putin and Trump because my feeling always is that Putin
wants Trump in because Putin thinks he can play him like a fiddle. Yes,
but Putin's wrong, right, I mean, I think Putin is grasping
to towards anyone who will you know, let him you know be uh,
and I don't. I think Trump is a guy who would very readily stab
someone in the back. So, you know, I as much as as
as Putin would like to see the US in disarray by having another Trump president,
see, I think he knows that, you know, Trump could turn
on him on a dime. Well, I also think that Putin will say
that, you know, he fears Harris, because I think they have said
that before. But what he really wants because he wants that to work against
He wants American voters to disagree with him and then go for Trump because he
thinks that Trump would be more of his ally. Where Trump gets in trouble
sometimes, as he'll is, if you he just wants to be a contrarian.
You know, you could just say to him, Putin bad and then
he just to be a contrarian. He goes, well, not really,
but you know absolutely that is his mo o. But I mean Putin afraid
of Kamala. I'm sorry. I don't see her as a person who strikes
fear in the heart of our enemies around the world. Well, and of
course not. She has no international experience. So what you're feeling here with
the situation, I mean I started the show by saying I wanted to have
a good old fashioned convention. But but everybody says, well, you don't
have time, you get a mobilizing Uh, they're right. It's so with
the electronic media now, and I understand the glad handing and going house to
house. But do you really need this much time to run a campaign where
everything is so a media and in your face? Yes? All right,
okay, well what about comic because I want to get to most of the
countries not watching TV. And yes, I don't think they're watching the news.
Let's put it that way. You probably have the numbers. I think
they you know, I think it's kind of oh, the number of TV
is dying and dying and dying. Well, not team talking about content.
I mean I think people just watch it. Yeah, but I mean it's
TikTok. It's I mean, it's TikTok's dude, she's a STARO ticket.
Sure. Sure, it's like Chinese food though you know you get hungry an
hour after you eat it. I mean like TikTok's gone out of your head
and the next TikTok. Well, do you think that you can work with
something with that? Do you think that that can work for something with a
with a candidate, for example Trump? Do people remember January sixth Kamala twenty
nineteen ran a terrible campaign. Do people remember that? Or is it like
Chinese now where it's gone? No? No, I mean January sixth is
something you absolutely remember. Right. What they don't remember is how Kamala did
in a primary debate, you know, eight years ago. I mean,
that's just impossible. Or it's four years ago, I should say. I
think she's got to stop laughing. Oh my god, the laugh is awful.
Her laugh in Hillary's laugh anytime they get an uncomfortable question, there's that
fricking laugh, and it drives me nuts and it drives everybody nuts. Right,
She's got to be more serious. She's got to absolutely read her prep
work. I mean, this is been an an enormous problem for her,
and it's why she's been through lots and lots of her staff because she refused
to read the prep work and got in interviews and really really failed terribly.
Right, She's got to be prepped and prepped and prepped. She's got to
stop repeating taglines, right, asking voters to see what is possible, unburdened
by what has been I don't know if you've heard that one. I mean
there are compilations of that one where she has said it twenty thirty I don't
know how many times, right, and it's empty. And she's got to
disassociate herself from the border because she was borders are and that's a mess.
And she's got to come more towards the middle for a general election, right,
she has got to talk about prices, right, because prices are bad.
I mean, I don't know if you've been to the market lately,
Gary, I think you, yeah, you have people to do your shopping
for you though, Oh don't you sure? Yeah? Yeah, Gary,
Gary does the shopping. Yeah, but no, I mean, prices have
been crazy. I mean, buying a house crazy, get it, you
know, I mean, somebody tells me what my house is worth them going
what? Yeah? I mean. So so she really has to I mean
because as much as you say people, you know, I listened to you
before about people not voting their pocketbook. Yes, they do. You know,
anyone, anyone over thirty or thirty five is absolutely voting their pocketbook,
right. Anyone with kids is absolutely voting their pocketbook. Young people and and
maybe older people will go with their heart and the personality if they see a
leader. But you know, most of America cares about where their money is
and how it's doing. And most of them are not in the stock market
seeing you know, their money build and build and build and build. They're
just going to the market and going, Holy cow, I got to pay
this for eggs. So I mean, I think that she has got to
be very very strong at delineating Hamas from Palestine, right, and and that
you know, if she wads too far into that mess, that she's gonna
lose either way. So I think she's got to tread lightly on that.
But you know, Hamas they're terrorists, right, and Israel maybe heavy handed,
I don't know how heavy handed. It's so tough to you know,
tell someone how to handle a war, you know, when we've never had
a war like that. Well, yeah, and especially when you were attacked.
Yeah, exactly. Listen, if Mexico attacked us like that and kept
saying, by the way, we're going to keep on doing that, we
would be, oh, forget it, relentless, relentless until we got rid
of the government that did it. Texas would be going to Central America.
Yeah. Yeah, Well, I mean she I think she has a tough
job ahead because she doesn't do well in debates and she doesn't do well extemporaneously
in interviews. So she's got to prep herself, like, you know,
she is studying for the hardest part of her life on Broadway, and it
is the hardest, you know, job or part in her life. We
got about a minute, Sam, can't she win? I think it's tough.
I think it's really tough because people don't know what she can bring.
Frankly, I think that it just no they just excuse me. They just
know who she's against. Well. I also, it depends if Trump really
messes up. I mean, and I don't know if he he's if he
hasn't so far, I don't know how he can. I mean, if
he hasn't, you know, if he hasn't messed up at this point,
I don't know if he will, you know. But I think it's going
to be closer than people think, because I do think there will be a
youthful turnout. But you're probably wrong. I mean, I do think it's
a lot closer than we think. Sam. We got to go. It's
been great talking to you, Gary. I love you, although I did
miss Dan. No, I don't worry about it. Hey, I'll book
you. He's back tomorrow night. Not a problem. I don't know how
