Speaker 1: Rob Dawson.
Speaker 2: Rob will be jetting off with us on Sunday, not
Speaker 2: with us. Supper plan similarly on Sunday as we'll all
Speaker 2: be covering the d n C next week. Now, Rob,
Speaker 2: I think I asked you this before, but you had
Speaker 2: never been to a convention, right.
Speaker 1: Until we went to the r n C. Not before
Speaker 1: the RNC.
Speaker 2: Now, okay, before the rn C, when I don't know
Speaker 2: what's going to happen, my anxiety just rises.
Speaker 1: Right. So before we went to the r n C,
Speaker 1: I was nervous.
Speaker 2: Not because I thought anything was going to be I.
Speaker 1: Just didn't know what to expect. Right now that we've
Speaker 1: been I'm like, oh, I got this. Yeah, you do
Speaker 1: this because you know, when you go to a.
Speaker 3: Mega event like this, first of all, we're all going
Speaker 3: to be you know, working long or you know, we're
Speaker 3: all together for many hours every day. You develop a rhythm, right,
Speaker 3: I like the rhythm we developed. By Tuesday, we're here
Speaker 3: in Radio Row and then we had dinner, and then
Speaker 3: we went to the arena and then we did something
Speaker 3: fun and it was all kind of like you crave
Speaker 3: for when you developed that rhythm.
Speaker 1: Yes, so I'm looking forward. What are you looking forward
Speaker 1: to in the DNC.
Speaker 3: I'm curious about the crowd reaction for Kamala Harris when
Speaker 3: she takes the stage.
Speaker 2: The other thing, I think it's gonna be a mad house.
Speaker 2: I think it's gonna be just like it was for Trump.
Speaker 2: I really, I mean, you've got to think this is
Speaker 2: the most hardcore of the party, faithful.
Speaker 1: Yeah, just like the RNC was.
Speaker 2: So I think it is going to be like it's
Speaker 2: gonna be like a you know, a ten pole revival
Speaker 2: in there.
Speaker 3: Now, you've watched many a convention. I've not so many,
Speaker 3: but you know you love this stuff. You follow this
Speaker 3: stuff when you I will say.
Speaker 2: The RNC was probably the best produced convention I remember. Okay,
Speaker 2: So that doesn't mean there wasn't a better but it
Speaker 2: was entertaining, and it moved fast, and there was real
Speaker 2: people mixed in with politicians, and you know you were there.
Speaker 2: You know those real people interviews, they they hit harder
Speaker 2: than the politician interviews.
Speaker 3: I have a question about the crescendo of speakers, right,
Speaker 3: you're supposed to ramp up, right, yeah? Yeah, okay, So
Speaker 3: why why Bill Clinton Wednesday?
Speaker 1: Is that is he just such a right like does.
Speaker 2: I would have put Bill Clinton on Tuesday. To be perfectly,
Speaker 2: if I was going to do the order, this is
Speaker 2: what I would have done. I would leave Joe Biden
Speaker 2: on Monday, because you don't want these people thinking about
Speaker 2: Joe Biden ever again, right, not one are you surprised
Speaker 2: that he's there. I think it's a big slap in
Speaker 2: the face. But politically, they've got to get him on
Speaker 2: the stage and off the stage because we have to
Speaker 2: scrape off the stink that is the Joe Biden administration
Speaker 2: that was wildly unpopular when he was the candidate. Right,
Speaker 2: So they're going to separate him from Kamala Harris as
Speaker 2: much as.
Speaker 1: You can because of that.
Speaker 2: And then I would leave Hillary on Monday with him
Speaker 2: where she's going to be, And then I would have
Speaker 2: put Bill Clinton on Tuesday, and then I would have
Speaker 2: put Barack Obama on Wednesday.
Speaker 3: Does that say something that Obama like, did it take
Speaker 3: a walk because it took.
Speaker 1: A while for a new indoors? Is that right? I
Speaker 1: don't know the thinking behind that.
Speaker 2: I do find it interesting that the Democratic Party is
Speaker 2: elevating Bill Clinton's voice, right because he's a gross sexual predator.
Speaker 2: He is an absolute horn dog and has I don't
Speaker 2: know if he is now. He's old now, but when
Speaker 2: he was young, I mean, he was everything that hashtag
Speaker 2: me too was allegedly against. And now they're featuring him
Speaker 2: on Wednesday Night?
Speaker 3: Is there a strategy about thinking, oh, well he's a centrist. Well,
Speaker 3: I goh, he's good at bringing people together, So what's
Speaker 3: type about kill?
Speaker 2: Obama has much more of that feel. I just think
Speaker 2: I don't understand Bill Clinton on Wednesday. I don't get it.
Speaker 2: I would have flipped those two and I'm not sure
Speaker 2: why Barack Obama is. Okay, wait a minute, Wait a minute,
Speaker 2: I just thought of something because I have to put
Speaker 2: my political machinery hat on.
Speaker 1: Bill Clinton.
Speaker 2: Is not nearly as popular now as Barack Obama is.
Speaker 2: So if you are going to introduce a candidate who
Speaker 2: is not exactly known for her likability, you don't.
Speaker 1: Want to put the most beloved.
Speaker 2: Democrat in recent memory right before her.
Speaker 1: Do you know what I'm saying? Separation?
Speaker 3: There is there anything about Clinton introducing Tim Walls? Or
Speaker 3: there would be someone else introducing Tim Walls, like maybe
Speaker 3: a regular person from Minnesota or someone.
Speaker 1: From the nationale.
Speaker 2: And you know they're not giving us that information. Usually
Speaker 2: until the day of We'll see if they're better at that.
Speaker 1: DNC. The RNC was terrible. The RNC was.
Speaker 2: Giving us list at twelve thirty in the afternoon.
Speaker 3: It was just like what Mandy real quick I saw
Speaker 3: on the map. We're near CNN, right, And I informed
Speaker 3: you that David Axelrod is one of my people that
Speaker 3: I think I can imitate very well.
Speaker 1: Oh nice.
Speaker 3: You know, Democrats really want to love their candidate, and
Speaker 3: the love is just pouring out for Kamala Harris right now.
Speaker 3: And this is why Donald Trump is fundamentally unpopular outside
Speaker 3: of his base.
Speaker 1: That is good, excellent.
Speaker 4: I don't know David's books on the show today.
Speaker 2: You know what, I bet we can get David Axelrod
Speaker 2: to talk to us next week.
Speaker 1: David, does he have a sense of humor about it?
Speaker 1: Or would he? I would hope, so, I would hope.
Speaker 1: So yeah.
Speaker 2: I mean, if you're saying not if you say, I'm
Speaker 2: David Axelrod and I eat babies for breakfast, but you
Speaker 2: said that that would be offensive. But that's a very
Speaker 2: good impression, extremely good impression.
Speaker 4: Wow, wow, Wow, all right, I'm gonna I'm gonna ask
Speaker 4: Rob the question I asked you earlier. So going into
Speaker 4: the r n C, the message was unity, okay, asked
Speaker 4: the assassination attempt. If you had to put one or
Speaker 4: two words on what you think the messaging or theme
Speaker 4: is going to be for the Democrats of DNZ, what
Speaker 4: do you think it would be?
Speaker 3: I almost does it have to be in any to
Speaker 3: to put in both any sore feelings about getting ready
Speaker 3: to Biden.
Speaker 2: There's rumors that Biden is super salty, like still really mad,
Speaker 2: and there's rumors that in his speech the d n
Speaker 2: SEE he's going to snub Obama and Kamala Harris, which
Speaker 2: I just so.
Speaker 1: He he's not going to get up and fake everyone.
Speaker 1: Lets I am more, I am more.
Speaker 2: Well, Nikki Hayley, let's just say she's she was not
Speaker 2: super convincing at the RNC of her love for the candidate.
Speaker 2: I did not feel the love coming from her speech.
Speaker 2: But that being said, I I don't see, I don't know.
Speaker 2: I think that there's a lot of people in the
Speaker 2: background talking to Joe Biden about what kind of legacy
Speaker 2: he wants to have and does he want to go
Speaker 2: to the DNC and burn it down even though his
Speaker 2: legacy shot we all.
Speaker 3: Know that there's did you find the convention for the
Speaker 3: Republicans uplifting or frightening in terms of, oh my goodness
Speaker 3: if we don't win them.
Speaker 2: I tell people this, I've told so many people this
Speaker 2: since we got back. It was a far more joyful experience.
Speaker 1: Than I than I thought it was going to be.
Speaker 2: I thought it was going to be like that, like
Speaker 2: angry politics, We've got to save the country. You got to.
Speaker 3: The question is can can the Democrats do angry politics
Speaker 3: or do they have to be joys too?
Speaker 2: I think that because Kamala Harris right now is essentially,
Speaker 2: in my mind, running for student body president.
Speaker 1: Okay, all we know about Kamala.
Speaker 2: Harris is she's got she's got posters in the hallway,
Speaker 2: and she is reading off of scripts all over the country.
Speaker 2: So there's no upside into going negative.
Speaker 4: No studid body presidents could probably talk to reporters. So
Speaker 4: I'm just saying, you know, but.
Speaker 2: As long as she's going to run that kind of campaign,
Speaker 2: I think they go. And if I was doing this
Speaker 2: and I didn't want my candidate to be asked any
Speaker 2: hard questions, which they don't, I would lean into the
Speaker 2: whole vibe thing.
Speaker 1: Have you seen this.
Speaker 2: I'm going to play this audio when we get back
Speaker 2: from this break here. Someone went to a Kamala Harris
Speaker 2: rally and asked what the rally attendees thought her biggest
Speaker 2: accomplishments as vice president were. The answers are everything you
Speaker 2: think they'll be. But one guy was just there for
Speaker 2: the vibe, and I think that's what they lean into
Speaker 2: right well that I think they allow the attack dogs
Speaker 2: for the first few days, but I think she and
Speaker 2: Tim Walls they're going to be.
Speaker 3: Above it all because the vibe was a non existent.
Speaker 2: Correct, there was no vibe. It would have been a
Speaker 2: funeral next week. If Joe Biden was still still the candidate.
Speaker 2: It would be a much different situation here, much different.
Speaker 2: I'm looking forward to its coming to it.
Speaker 1: Yeah,
