Yeah, 222 00:10:31,039 --> 00:10:34,639 but whatever you call he was a hostage Marvin. He 223 00:10:34,759 --> 00:10:37,200 was an American teacher held hostage. 224 00:10:37,519 --> 00:10:40,679 Speaker 5: She was detained illegally.

I know you're trying 230 00:10:56,320 --> 00:11:00,519 to scramble for higher ground because you cannot defend shunning 231 00:11:00,639 --> 00:11:05,360 of the child, and you cannot differentiate shunning the child 232 00:11:05,600 --> 00:11:08,399 with booing the president. You see them as the same thing. 233 00:11:08,840 --> 00:11:11,720 And Trump has broken your brain, which is what I 234 00:11:11,720 --> 00:11:13,480 said in the first hour, which I know you heard 235 00:11:13,480 --> 00:11:16,360 because you listen all the time.

To be fair, I have like two 263 00:12:43,279 --> 00:12:45,600 and a half minutes before the news. I'm happy to 264 00:12:45,679 --> 00:12:47,759 keep you over through the news, but I just want 265 00:12:47,799 --> 00:12:48,679 you to know ahead of time. 266 00:12:49,600 --> 00:12:53,159 Speaker 6: Thank you. I'll try to keep it short it's generally 267 00:12:53,200 --> 00:12:55,240 what I want to speak about is politics, but there's 268 00:12:55,240 --> 00:12:58,320 a couple of different topics. I guess I could consider 269 00:12:58,360 --> 00:13:03,039 myself somewhat extinct because I would be considered a conservative Democrat, 270 00:13:03,240 --> 00:13:05,360 which I don't think there's any of those left that way. 271 00:13:05,559 --> 00:13:06,519 Speaker 1: The old blue dogs. 272 00:13:06,639 --> 00:13:09,320 Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, so the party. I leave the party, the 273 00:13:09,320 --> 00:13:13,440 party left me. And in regards to last night with 274 00:13:13,519 --> 00:13:16,480 that teenager, I just think in general that was a 275 00:13:16,519 --> 00:13:19,720 little bit discussing because we as adults, we need to 276 00:13:19,799 --> 00:13:23,480 learn to separate issues and the fact that we had 277 00:13:23,519 --> 00:13:25,799 this pact mentality, which is one of the problems with 278 00:13:25,879 --> 00:13:29,200 our politics, I think is you're all on one side 279 00:13:29,279 --> 00:13:31,360 or all on the other side. Well, that's a problem 280 00:13:31,440 --> 00:13:33,799 right away. You know. I'm to the point now where 281 00:13:33,799 --> 00:13:36,399 I'd like to see every elected official go on and 282 00:13:36,480 --> 00:13:38,559 just put new people in. Just he came to the 283 00:13:38,600 --> 00:13:43,639 debt because they don't work for us, and they seem 284 00:13:43,720 --> 00:13:46,120 like they work for everybody else, and they just talk 285 00:13:46,159 --> 00:13:48,919 a lot, and one person talks about this one lieing. 286 00:13:49,039 --> 00:13:52,399 They all seem to lie, and that's the problem, and 287 00:13:52,440 --> 00:13:55,879 that's why their ratings are so bad. And I wish 288 00:13:55,960 --> 00:13:58,960 there's something you could we could do about that. You know, 289 00:13:59,000 --> 00:14:02,759 the fact that everybody should have acknowledged that teenager and 290 00:14:02,840 --> 00:14:05,000 also the other kid that was going to West Point, 291 00:14:05,399 --> 00:14:08,960 and people didn't do that, well, shame on them. I 292 00:14:09,000 --> 00:14:12,600 don't care if you're a Democrat, Republican, communist, whatever, it 293 00:14:12,600 --> 00:14:16,000 shouldn't make a difference. What's good is good. You know, 294 00:14:16,080 --> 00:14:19,480 you should be able to applaud what is good, and 295 00:14:19,559 --> 00:14:22,080 people just can't seem to do that anymore. I will 296 00:14:22,240 --> 00:14:24,120 somebody they hate everything to talk about. 297 00:14:24,200 --> 00:14:26,360 Speaker 1: I think that. I think that's the I think that 298 00:14:26,440 --> 00:14:30,000 might be the problem. Is when you say what's good 299 00:14:30,080 --> 00:14:34,240 is good, if people have lost the ability to decipher 300 00:14:34,679 --> 00:14:38,080 what is good, then it makes that kind of behavior 301 00:14:38,159 --> 00:14:40,559 we saw last night more explainable. 302 00:14:41,720 --> 00:14:45,080 Speaker 6: I think you are absolutely correct, and our whole society 303 00:14:45,279 --> 00:14:47,799 seems to do that that way, and I just think 304 00:14:47,840 --> 00:14:50,679 it's not fair. I actually feel sorry for my grandchildren 305 00:14:51,000 --> 00:14:53,080 dealing with this stuff because it never used to be 306 00:14:53,320 --> 00:14:56,639 like that, you know, And I just think it's sad 307 00:14:56,679 --> 00:14:59,159 that everybody's on one side and you got a whole 308 00:14:59,159 --> 00:15:01,360 bunch of people on the other. They mean to tell me, 309 00:15:01,399 --> 00:15:03,440 there is this stuff you can deal with, and that's why, 310 00:15:03,919 --> 00:15:06,960 you know, like Donald Trump or not like Donald Trump 311 00:15:07,240 --> 00:15:09,240 some of the things I like a bondim At least 312 00:15:09,279 --> 00:15:12,080 he's trying to do something, you know. I feel that 313 00:15:12,159 --> 00:15:15,399 our government definitely is too big and it doesn't work 314 00:15:15,399 --> 00:15:18,320 for the individual people anymore. You could tell by everything 315 00:15:18,320 --> 00:15:20,960 it does, because if it worked for the people, you'd 316 00:15:20,960 --> 00:15:23,240 be able to do something today, and if it didn't 317 00:15:23,279 --> 00:15:25,080 work six months a year from now, you. 318 00:15:25,000 --> 00:15:25,639 Speaker 3: Could change it. 319 00:15:25,879 --> 00:15:28,240 Speaker 6: But we can't change anything once it's in place. It's 320 00:15:28,240 --> 00:15:30,120 like there forever that tells you there is a problem 321 00:15:30,240 --> 00:15:31,840 right away because it's not nimble. 322 00:15:31,639 --> 00:15:32,120 Speaker 2: Enough at all. 323 00:15:32,399 --> 00:15:33,279 Speaker 1: Yeah, No, I got you. 324 00:15:33,440 --> 00:15:34,360 Speaker 4: Can you help the people? 325 00:15:34,440 --> 00:15:36,120 Speaker 6: When you do that? You just can't help the people. 326 00:15:36,440 --> 00:15:37,879 But I want to thank you for taking my call. 327 00:15:39,320 --> 00:15:41,039 Speaker 1: All right, Well, hey, that's what I'm here for, Carmen. 328 00:15:41,080 --> 00:15:43,480 I appreciate that.

And that the party 333 00:16:00,120 --> 00:16:04,000 as it is formed today, the Democrat Party, does not 334 00:16:04,200 --> 00:16:07,039 resemble what the party was, and nor does the Republican Party. 335 00:16:07,039 --> 00:16:11,360 But does not resemble what the party was like under Kennedy. 336 00:16:12,519 --> 00:16:15,840 It has changed, as Carmen said, the party left him. 337 00:16:16,080 --> 00:16:17,879 All right, if you're listening to this show, you know 338 00:16:17,960 --> 00:16:19,960 I try to keep up with all sorts of current events, 339 00:16:19,960 --> 00:16:22,039 and I know you do too, And you've probably heard 340 00:16:22,039 --> 00:16:26,120 me say get your news from multiple sources.

And I've always urged 366 00:17:49,079 --> 00:17:54,720 people keep this in mind, right because at some point 367 00:17:55,759 --> 00:17:59,400 your guy is gonna win, and the other side is 368 00:17:59,440 --> 00:18:02,359 going to feel like you feel right now, and so 369 00:18:02,920 --> 00:18:06,559 maybe we get to a better place by not making 370 00:18:07,039 --> 00:18:12,119 people feel worse. Right, maybe show a little grace or something. 371 00:18:13,119 --> 00:18:15,960 I have never been able to persuade people to do that. 372 00:18:16,960 --> 00:18:20,119 But here's the thing. Trump earned it. He earned the 373 00:18:20,200 --> 00:18:24,000 victory lab and you may not like it, but he 374 00:18:24,079 --> 00:18:28,079 earned it. He won. He won all the swing states, 375 00:18:28,279 --> 00:18:31,039 he won the popular vote, he won the electoral College, 376 00:18:31,960 --> 00:18:35,519 he made massive gains, he swung like all of these 377 00:18:35,559 --> 00:18:42,440 counties over all these racial demographics. Like you may not 378 00:18:42,640 --> 00:18:45,079 like it, but that means you just don't like that. 379 00:18:45,519 --> 00:18:48,720 The majority of Americans do not agree with you. They 380 00:18:48,839 --> 00:18:51,839 just don't agree with you. And I think the sooner 381 00:18:52,240 --> 00:18:56,079 you kind of come to terms with that, then I 382 00:18:56,119 --> 00:18:58,359 think the sooner it is, you'll be happy. I know 383 00:18:58,440 --> 00:19:00,640 that's a big that's a high, Barty get over for 384 00:19:00,759 --> 00:19:05,000 some people. Some people are They're not happy unless they're miserable. 385 00:19:05,759 --> 00:19:10,960 I get it. The protests that we saw at the 386 00:19:11,000 --> 00:19:16,920 speech last night were planned. This is widely reported, Okay, 387 00:19:17,039 --> 00:19:23,319 Manu Raju over at CNN. He says, I've been in 388 00:19:23,359 --> 00:19:26,279 the House chamber for the speech. I have not seen 389 00:19:26,319 --> 00:19:29,759 any opposition party mount a protest like tonight. House and 390 00:19:29,759 --> 00:19:33,400 Senate Democratic leaders did not join the escort committee for 391 00:19:33,400 --> 00:19:36,400 the President. Democrats turned their back on him when he 392 00:19:36,559 --> 00:19:39,160 entered the chamber and did not shake his hand. They 393 00:19:39,160 --> 00:19:42,599 did not applaud virtually anything. Several walked down in the 394 00:19:42,599 --> 00:19:45,440 middle of the speech, lots of signs in the back 395 00:19:45,519 --> 00:19:49,640 being held up by Democrat members, repeated shouts of lies 396 00:19:49,720 --> 00:19:53,880 and you're lying. A Democrat member, Al Green, had to 397 00:19:53,880 --> 00:19:57,400 be thrown out by the sergeant at arms because he 398 00:19:57,519 --> 00:20:05,480 was disrupting the speech. Democrat leaders endorsed a no applause strategy, 399 00:20:06,880 --> 00:20:14,720 but Hakim Jeffries, House minority leader for Democrats, they reportedly 400 00:20:14,880 --> 00:20:20,839 urged members against using signs and props and loud outbursts, 401 00:20:20,880 --> 00:20:24,720 for all the good that advice did them. Matt Woking, 402 00:20:24,839 --> 00:20:28,160 who is the vice president of communications for Axiom Strategies, 403 00:20:29,160 --> 00:20:32,279 a consultant guy. He's like, one of the oldest and 404 00:20:32,400 --> 00:20:38,200 most obvious rules of Capitol hillcomms is do not, under 405 00:20:38,279 --> 00:20:44,799 any circumstances hold a sign that can be photoshopped. And 406 00:20:44,880 --> 00:20:48,119 Democrats were like, hey, let's just do it anyway, because 407 00:20:48,160 --> 00:20:53,480 now have you seen the photoshopping It is hilarious. All right, 408 00:20:53,559 --> 00:20:56,079 let's go over and chat with Alan. Hello, Alan, welcome 409 00:20:56,119 --> 00:20:56,480 to the show. 410 00:20:57,519 --> 00:20:59,599 Speaker 7: Hey, Pet, you know I was going to talk about 411 00:20:59,680 --> 00:21:02,799 themmbarrassment that you said Malcolm Graham was talking about. 412 00:21:02,839 --> 00:21:03,839 Speaker 2: But before I. 413 00:21:03,799 --> 00:21:07,400 Speaker 7: Go there, it's like, uh, I think his name was Marvin. 414 00:21:07,720 --> 00:21:10,119 You need to have him on more often because he 415 00:21:10,200 --> 00:21:14,480 will convince those old timey Democrats that the party has 416 00:21:14,599 --> 00:21:18,039 left them. They will realize the party has left them. 417 00:21:18,119 --> 00:21:19,519 I talked to a lot of them. They said I 418 00:21:19,559 --> 00:21:22,200 was a Democrat, my daddy was a Democrat. And then 419 00:21:22,240 --> 00:21:24,920 all of a sudden they're saying, Wow, yeah, their beliefs 420 00:21:25,000 --> 00:21:27,079 is not my belief So you need to have Marvin on. 421 00:21:27,079 --> 00:21:30,319 Speaker 1: More often as you'll call. I'll have them on, no doubt. 422 00:21:31,720 --> 00:21:35,359 Speaker 7: Oh but but the embarrassment last night, the young kid 423 00:21:35,920 --> 00:21:38,319 cancer survivor, brain cancer survivor. 424 00:21:38,720 --> 00:21:39,759 Speaker 2: I mean, you know, for. 425 00:21:39,799 --> 00:21:43,079 Speaker 7: Him to even be there, everybody needed to recognize him. 426 00:21:43,160 --> 00:21:46,480 That wasn't That wasn't anything Democrat Republican. It was the 427 00:21:46,519 --> 00:21:51,519 fact of a teenager survived brain cancer. Okay, recognize the kid, 428 00:21:51,880 --> 00:21:54,440 and hey, I'll tell you. I watched it off and 429 00:21:54,480 --> 00:21:58,119 on I sort of go into naps. Lincoln Riley was 430 00:21:58,119 --> 00:22:00,519 her parents, Her parents was there and reorganized. 431 00:22:00,839 --> 00:22:01,319 Speaker 2: Was that right? 432 00:22:01,440 --> 00:22:01,640 Speaker 4: Yep? 433 00:22:01,799 --> 00:22:05,640 Speaker 7: Okay, Now let me ask you this Lincoln Riley bill. 434 00:22:06,440 --> 00:22:06,640 Speaker 1: Yep. 435 00:22:06,759 --> 00:22:10,319 Speaker 7: That was a bipartisan bill. That was a Republican Democrat bill. 436 00:22:10,880 --> 00:22:13,200 You're gonna tell me those people couldn't stand up and 437 00:22:13,279 --> 00:22:17,920 recognize her parents. That's the embarrassment that we're facing today. 438 00:22:18,000 --> 00:22:18,359 Speaker 2: Okay. 439 00:22:18,799 --> 00:22:21,519 Speaker 7: You know, I ride the roads and I look and 440 00:22:21,559 --> 00:22:25,519 I see these these you know, like political signs. Okay, 441 00:22:25,640 --> 00:22:30,279 I said, embarrassed to be a Democrat. That's absolutely right. Okay, 442 00:22:30,319 --> 00:22:33,839 And Malcolm Graham needs to be embarrassed. Okay, and that's 443 00:22:33,839 --> 00:22:35,640 pretty much all I've got to say, Pete. 444 00:22:35,680 --> 00:22:38,279 Speaker 1: All right, Alan, I appreciate the call. I think uh. 445 00:22:38,480 --> 00:22:42,119 I think part of the reaction we are seeing from 446 00:22:42,640 --> 00:22:45,359 a lot of Democrats, uh. And I think Marvin also 447 00:22:45,440 --> 00:22:48,720 is that they they know they cannot defend what occurred. 448 00:22:48,720 --> 00:22:52,519 The optics are bad, the optics are terrible, and so 449 00:22:54,039 --> 00:22:58,559 they're just kind of you know, flopping around on the floor, 450 00:22:59,519 --> 00:23:03,160 kicking their feet and banging their fists against the floorboards 451 00:23:04,240 --> 00:23:07,200 because I don't know, I don't know if there's anything 452 00:23:07,200 --> 00:23:10,039 else they can do. And I think that's what we 453 00:23:10,160 --> 00:23:13,359 kind of saw last night.

I'm the guy that wrote the 492 00:25:43,519 --> 00:25:45,559 letter of support to President Trump. I read it on 493 00:25:45,559 --> 00:25:48,000 your program a few weeks ago, and I just want 494 00:25:48,000 --> 00:25:50,559 to say, I think that's the greatest speech I've ever 495 00:25:50,599 --> 00:25:53,680 heard him give. I mean, I was so proud of 496 00:25:53,720 --> 00:25:56,200 him last night. That's all I can see. I like 497 00:25:56,240 --> 00:25:58,599 the part where he said the Democrats were saying that 498 00:25:58,640 --> 00:26:01,440 they needed a new bill to stopped the illegal immigration, 499 00:26:01,640 --> 00:26:03,480 and he said, all you need is a new president. 500 00:26:03,599 --> 00:26:03,799 Speaker 4: Yeah. 501 00:26:03,799 --> 00:26:05,519 Speaker 8: I mean, that's the greatest line I heard him saying. 502 00:26:05,880 --> 00:26:08,480 Speaker 1: Yeah, I actually have. And it was intending to start 503 00:26:08,480 --> 00:26:11,279 the show and do a whole bunch of soundbites, but 504 00:26:11,480 --> 00:26:14,119 everybody wants to talk and so like I've got loaded 505 00:26:14,160 --> 00:26:17,519 phone lines, so I've kind of pushed off the soundbites. 506 00:26:17,519 --> 00:26:18,720 But yeah, it was a great line. It was the 507 00:26:18,720 --> 00:26:20,039 best line of the speech last night. 508 00:26:20,079 --> 00:26:20,440 Speaker 2: I thought. 509 00:26:21,039 --> 00:26:23,920 Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, all right, Alex. Yeah, I appreciate it, man, 510 00:26:24,039 --> 00:26:29,279 Thanks you too. Let me go next up to Dan. Hello, Dan, 511 00:26:29,400 --> 00:26:30,160 welcome to the show. 512 00:26:30,480 --> 00:26:33,000 Speaker 2: I pete, good afternoon. Thanks for taking my call. Sure, 513 00:26:34,920 --> 00:26:38,079 you know, it's really simple. If Democrats want to win 514 00:26:38,160 --> 00:26:41,200 elections in the future, all they have to learn to 515 00:26:41,279 --> 00:26:45,000 do is to love America more than they hate Donald Trump. 516 00:26:45,880 --> 00:26:46,680 It's that easy. 517 00:26:48,200 --> 00:26:50,920 Speaker 1: Yeah, And that might be too big of a ask. 518 00:26:52,000 --> 00:26:55,319 Speaker 2: Could be, Yeah, could be. When you can't stand up 519 00:26:55,319 --> 00:26:59,559 an applause for the success of a young cancer survivor, 520 00:27:00,119 --> 00:27:03,160 you have no soul, none, no soul at all. 521 00:27:03,559 --> 00:27:05,640 Speaker 1: Yeah. Well, this is why I said that Trump broke them, 522 00:27:05,839 --> 00:27:10,079 Like they are so broken they cannot even recognize a 523 00:27:10,119 --> 00:27:13,400 good thing for being a good thing, you know. And 524 00:27:13,799 --> 00:27:16,359 that's a bad place to be in for them. And 525 00:27:16,359 --> 00:27:19,119 and as a political party, that's a bad place. 526 00:27:20,319 --> 00:27:23,119 Speaker 2: It's tough to be upsettled with that much anger. Yeah, 527 00:27:23,119 --> 00:27:25,359 that much aw, that's not healthy. 528 00:27:25,599 --> 00:27:27,880 Speaker 1: Yeah, I agree, Dan. I appreciate the call, buddy. 529 00:27:27,880 --> 00:27:29,680 Speaker 2: Thanks sir, have a wonderful day. 530 00:27:29,599 --> 00:27:33,640 Speaker 1: You too, Thank you. Let me go next to Robert. Hello, Robert, 531 00:27:33,680 --> 00:27:34,400 welcome to the show. 532 00:27:35,400 --> 00:27:38,079 Speaker 9: Good afternoon, Pete. It's it's rare that I get my 533 00:27:39,480 --> 00:27:42,440 thunder stolen, but it's been stolen two or three times. 534 00:27:42,799 --> 00:27:48,039 Just the only way I would sum it up. If 535 00:27:48,079 --> 00:27:50,759 I were a Democrat, which I am not. Anyone who 536 00:27:50,839 --> 00:27:54,480 listens to me here or elsewhere knows that I'm a Republican, 537 00:27:54,960 --> 00:27:57,400 and I want the Democrats to stay in the wilderness 538 00:27:57,640 --> 00:27:59,039 as long as possible. 539 00:27:59,640 --> 00:28:01,000 Speaker 2: But if they had. 540 00:28:00,960 --> 00:28:05,160 Speaker 9: Any sense, and maybe maybe someone like Anderson Clayton, who 541 00:28:05,200 --> 00:28:08,319 is a Southerner, someone like James Carville, they would know 542 00:28:09,119 --> 00:28:12,599 to come out of this wilderness. They need to find 543 00:28:12,680 --> 00:28:17,240 someone who would do exactly the same thing that Bill 544 00:28:17,240 --> 00:28:20,799 Clinton would do in almost any situation. Yet he had 545 00:28:20,839 --> 00:28:23,519 his flaws, but he would have He would have stood 546 00:28:24,039 --> 00:28:26,319 for that young man who wants to be a cop, 547 00:28:26,759 --> 00:28:29,519 dressed in his cop uniform. And then, by the way, 548 00:28:29,519 --> 00:28:31,359 it wouldn't have mattered if he was the only one 549 00:28:31,440 --> 00:28:34,119 standing in his group there. He would have stood and clapped, 550 00:28:34,279 --> 00:28:37,759 and then after the speech he would have gone up 551 00:28:37,960 --> 00:28:40,559 to that young man DJA. I believe is his name. Yes, 552 00:28:40,680 --> 00:28:43,160 he would have hugged him and he would have said, son, 553 00:28:43,279 --> 00:28:46,599 I am the governor of Arkansas. Whenever you are ready, 554 00:28:46,640 --> 00:28:49,000 you come to my state and I will make you 555 00:28:49,079 --> 00:28:50,200 a state trooper. 556 00:28:51,519 --> 00:28:51,680 Speaker 2: Right. 557 00:28:51,720 --> 00:28:54,839 Speaker 1: Well, that's the thing the party has moved on from 558 00:28:54,880 --> 00:28:57,400 Bill Clinton, that kind of that kind of a new 559 00:28:57,519 --> 00:29:01,279 Democrat they called themselves. The coalition that makes up the 560 00:29:01,319 --> 00:29:04,400 Democrat Party now does not have any space for that 561 00:29:04,480 --> 00:29:07,400 kind of Democrat. That's that's just where they are now, Robert, 562 00:29:07,400 --> 00:29:08,720 I appreciate the call. Let me try to get a 563 00:29:08,759 --> 00:29:14,440 couple more on before the news here. This is Chris. Hello, Chris, Hey, Pete, 564 00:29:14,440 --> 00:29:15,920 how you doing. Hey, I'm good, what's up? 565 00:29:16,319 --> 00:29:16,559 Speaker 6: Hey? 566 00:29:16,799 --> 00:29:18,839 Speaker 4: First time calling. I listen to your show every now 567 00:29:18,839 --> 00:29:21,160 and then. So let me just purpose by saying, I'm 568 00:29:21,160 --> 00:29:24,079 not a Democrat, I'm not a Republican, thloughly independent. I 569 00:29:24,200 --> 00:29:28,000 voted both ways many many times. And my whole thing 570 00:29:28,279 --> 00:29:31,119 is number one. Yes, I would have stood for dj 571 00:29:31,559 --> 00:29:35,039 or surviving cancer. I don't believe that you should take 572 00:29:35,079 --> 00:29:37,720 out your anger or your frustrations with what's going on 573 00:29:37,799 --> 00:29:41,079 in politics on a thirteen year old kid who survived cancer. 574 00:29:42,640 --> 00:29:45,680 I will totally agree with that I think the problem 575 00:29:45,839 --> 00:29:48,680 is and I don't I kind of I think the 576 00:29:48,799 --> 00:29:51,839 last calor kind of hit on it. What Democrats need 577 00:29:51,839 --> 00:29:54,920 to do is it's almost I hate to use sports analogy, 578 00:29:54,960 --> 00:29:57,920 but it's almost like you lost the big game. Okay, 579 00:29:58,240 --> 00:30:01,240 let's move on from losing the big What do we 580 00:30:01,319 --> 00:30:04,599 do now or what do Democrats do now in order 581 00:30:04,599 --> 00:30:09,759 to get better to compete when it comes to twenty 582 00:30:09,200 --> 00:30:13,160 twenty twenty eight? Well what twenty twenty six and in 583 00:30:13,200 --> 00:30:16,279 twenty twenty eight, who do we put up that can 584 00:30:16,839 --> 00:30:22,559 again bring America together? Called not cause I'm not saying 585 00:30:22,599 --> 00:30:26,759 Democrats cause division. Obviously there are people in the party, 586 00:30:26,960 --> 00:30:29,160 in the party that think Donald Trump has caused the vision. 587 00:30:29,519 --> 00:30:32,839 I myself can see that. I understand that. But we 588 00:30:33,000 --> 00:30:36,839 have to stop running on what Democrats want for America 589 00:30:37,359 --> 00:30:41,400 and what actually will bring the country together as a whole. 590 00:30:41,319 --> 00:30:42,960 Speaker 1: In what Americans actually want. 591 00:30:43,119 --> 00:30:43,279 Speaker 4: Right? 592 00:30:43,400 --> 00:30:45,839 Speaker 1: Yeah, and I think no, I think you're exactly right, Chris. 593 00:30:45,880 --> 00:30:47,599 I appreciate the call. I'm up against the news. I 594 00:30:47,640 --> 00:30:50,279 think you nailed it. They Yeah, like they need to 595 00:30:50,319 --> 00:30:52,920 be able to differentiate the problem they have is that 596 00:30:52,960 --> 00:30:57,000 they don't have that leader yet, that unifying force that's 597 00:30:57,079 --> 00:31:00,759 the big problem for them, all right.
