WEBVTT 1 00:00:01.000 --> 00:00:02.600 It's Dan Ray. 2 00:00:03.279 --> 00:00:05.160 I'm telling you Fay Boston. 3 00:00:09.080 --> 00:00:14.359 The Democrats are underway in Chicago, and we have a 4 00:00:14.400 --> 00:00:18.120 lot to talk about. And of course the Republicans had 5 00:00:18.120 --> 00:00:23.239 their convention earlier this well, actually in late late July, 6 00:00:23.559 --> 00:00:25.559 now that I think about it, Yeah, they were done 7 00:00:25.600 --> 00:00:29.839 in July. And the Democrats are just on day one 8 00:00:29.960 --> 00:00:32.560 right now. Hillary Clinton, a beloved. 9 00:00:32.159 --> 00:00:38.679 Figure within the Democratic Party, is is addressing the convention. 10 00:00:38.960 --> 00:00:42.840 So it's it's sort of ghosts of Democrat past and 11 00:00:42.920 --> 00:00:47.840 the Democrat that everyone wants to hear from. I won't speak, 12 00:00:47.840 --> 00:00:51.240 as I understanding, until Thursday night, although tonight President Biden 13 00:00:51.280 --> 00:00:56.359 will deliver his swan song. Interesting article by Maureen Daud 14 00:00:56.399 --> 00:00:56.679 in The. 15 00:00:56.640 --> 00:01:02.840 New York Times late last week, actually on Saturday. She 16 00:01:02.920 --> 00:01:06.680 starts off, we head to Chicago in a wave of euphoria, exuberance, exultation, 17 00:01:06.879 --> 00:01:10.120 excitement and even you might say ecstasy. It's going to 18 00:01:10.159 --> 00:01:13.359 be a glorious coronation, except that everyone's mad at one another. 19 00:01:13.560 --> 00:01:17.120 She goes on to to talk about how Joe Biden 20 00:01:17.359 --> 00:01:22.040 was done in and how that he's not happy. And 21 00:01:22.120 --> 00:01:28.680 again this is I woring down no fan of Donald Trump. 22 00:01:31.840 --> 00:01:37.359 She she quotes Trump in the article and talks about uh, 23 00:01:37.480 --> 00:01:43.599 Well Pelosi, Nancy Pelosi, and Barack Obama. This is where 24 00:01:43.599 --> 00:01:45.959 it gets kind of interesting. He says, the president already 25 00:01:46.000 --> 00:01:51.760 resented meaning the president meaning President Biden already resented Obama 26 00:01:52.200 --> 00:01:56.439 for shoving him aside for Hillary, and he even resented 27 00:01:56.519 --> 00:02:00.760 Hillary for squandering that opportunity and losing to trum And 28 00:02:00.799 --> 00:02:03.519 even this is Mareen Daoud, not me. Even though Obama 29 00:02:03.560 --> 00:02:06.680 tried to do everything quietly to protect his saintly status, 30 00:02:07.079 --> 00:02:11.680 Joe was furious that Obama was sidelining him twice Michelle's 31 00:02:11.800 --> 00:02:16.800 Obama's relationship with Biden soward when his family ostracized Hunter's 32 00:02:16.840 --> 00:02:21.240 first wife, Michelle's friend Kathleen. That's one reason the popular 33 00:02:21.280 --> 00:02:23.759 Michelle wasn't on the campaign trail for Biden. It gets 34 00:02:23.800 --> 00:02:27.680 into really deep stuff in the family here. Kamala can't 35 00:02:27.719 --> 00:02:33.280 be thrilled with Obama, Pelosi, and Schumer that Obama, Pelosi, 36 00:02:33.360 --> 00:02:36.560 and Schuma hesitated to endorse her because they wanted more 37 00:02:36.599 --> 00:02:40.000 moderate rivals to compete in an open mini primary. And 38 00:02:40.080 --> 00:02:45.159 Biden and Harris staffs are also TETCHI. I don't know 39 00:02:45.240 --> 00:02:48.039 exactly what she means by that word, as Kamala's lawyers 40 00:02:49.000 --> 00:02:55.560 layers on her own people. It's pretty Shakespearean. Biden still 41 00:02:55.599 --> 00:02:57.319 thinks he could have taken Trump, so how could he 42 00:02:57.360 --> 00:03:00.599 reconcile being shoved off the sled. On Wednesday, Ron Klain, 43 00:03:00.680 --> 00:03:04.319 Biden's longtime adviser, expressed to Inoson Cooper biden World's feelings 44 00:03:04.360 --> 00:03:07.960 about the Jacquarie heard round the world. I think it 45 00:03:08.000 --> 00:03:10.360 was unfortunate because I think the president had won the 46 00:03:10.400 --> 00:03:13.520 nomination fair and square. Fourteen million people had voted for 47 00:03:13.599 --> 00:03:16.400 him and the vice president as vice president. He added, 48 00:03:16.439 --> 00:03:18.719 I do think you know the president was pushed by 49 00:03:18.759 --> 00:03:21.039 public calls from elected officials for him to drop out, 50 00:03:21.039 --> 00:03:23.240 from donus calling for him to drop out, and I 51 00:03:23.240 --> 00:03:26.479 think that was wrong. Those who pushed out Biden should 52 00:03:26.479 --> 00:03:28.479 be proud they saved him and their party from a 53 00:03:28.639 --> 00:03:31.719 likely crushing defeat, letting Trump snake back in and soil 54 00:03:31.759 --> 00:03:39.159 democracy that would keep Biden off Rushmore. It's the headline 55 00:03:39.240 --> 00:03:41.080 is the Dems are delighted, but a coup is still 56 00:03:41.080 --> 00:03:47.800 a coup. So the Democrats gather in Chicago. The Harris 57 00:03:47.840 --> 00:03:54.400 campaign has slowly maturely emerging, and over the weekend. Over 58 00:03:54.439 --> 00:04:00.159 the weekend, Michelle Obama made some comments that Drew I 59 00:04:00.199 --> 00:04:05.840 thought some interesting raised eyebrows. This is the vice president 60 00:04:05.960 --> 00:04:12.520 talking about her economic plan. She miss reads or misspeaks 61 00:04:12.560 --> 00:04:18.639 the word gouging. She calls it gauging. So don't be upset. 62 00:04:18.680 --> 00:04:21.560 Don't be confused by that, Rob. This is cut one. 63 00:04:21.639 --> 00:04:25.720 This is the vice president over the weekend, talking in 64 00:04:25.800 --> 00:04:28.920 part about her economic plan. Here we go, Cut one. 65 00:04:29.519 --> 00:04:33.480 I will work to pass the first ever federal ban 66 00:04:33.720 --> 00:04:42.800 on price gauging on food. My plan will include new 67 00:04:42.920 --> 00:04:49.519 penalties for opportunistic companies that exploit crises and break the rules. 68 00:04:50.040 --> 00:04:55.600 That's a little vague. I would think a democratic commentator 69 00:04:56.240 --> 00:04:58.800 had his comment on that. And this is Chris Cuomo 70 00:05:00.959 --> 00:05:07.560 talking about the vice president's price gouging policy. This is 71 00:05:07.600 --> 00:05:08.680 cut number twenty. 72 00:05:08.800 --> 00:05:13.120 Please Rob, all right, So price gauging versus gouging. 73 00:05:13.680 --> 00:05:14.560 She made a mistake. 74 00:05:15.800 --> 00:05:16.439 We noted it. 75 00:05:16.959 --> 00:05:22.680 Second, going after corporations is popular. Doing it about inflation 76 00:05:23.480 --> 00:05:27.839 is popular. Sixty percent of us believe corporations are to 77 00:05:27.879 --> 00:05:30.680 blame for it. The question is what do you do 78 00:05:31.160 --> 00:05:37.600 right blame versus change. So Harris says she's targeting price gouging. 79 00:05:37.680 --> 00:05:40.160 I don't really care about gouging, gauging, I don't care, 80 00:05:40.240 --> 00:05:42.680 all right. You got to take the level of talent 81 00:05:42.680 --> 00:05:45.560 where you find it. We don't have great talent in 82 00:05:45.600 --> 00:05:47.480 our politics right now. We got to wait for better 83 00:05:47.519 --> 00:05:49.480 people to want to get involved in what is such 84 00:05:49.519 --> 00:05:51.319 a poison process. 85 00:05:51.720 --> 00:05:55.199 But this is what we got. No what you call 86 00:05:55.360 --> 00:06:03.279 an endorsement, per se. Look, the Vice president was running 87 00:06:03.279 --> 00:06:07.120 for president in twenty nineteen and she was in Iowa 88 00:06:08.199 --> 00:06:15.279 talking about this is extraordinary, talking about the government takeover 89 00:06:15.839 --> 00:06:20.399 of companies' patents. I mean, that is what this system 90 00:06:20.560 --> 00:06:23.279 of capitalism and the society in which we live is 91 00:06:23.319 --> 00:06:27.800 all about. You come up with an idea, you patent 92 00:06:27.839 --> 00:06:32.279 the idea, or you copyright the book or the song, 93 00:06:32.519 --> 00:06:37.959 or you trademark the symbol, and you are protected protected 94 00:06:38.000 --> 00:06:45.240 from people seizing and exploiting your work product. This was 95 00:06:45.519 --> 00:06:51.040 the Vice president in a twenty nineteen video in Iowa. 96 00:06:51.759 --> 00:06:55.920 Just listen to the first few words. We will smash 97 00:06:56.160 --> 00:06:59.240 their patents. This has cut nineteen. 98 00:06:58.920 --> 00:07:04.680 Rob snatch their patent so that we will take over. 99 00:07:05.519 --> 00:07:09.439 And yes we can do that, Yes, yes we can 100 00:07:09.480 --> 00:07:13.319 do that. Yes we can do that. It's the question 101 00:07:13.399 --> 00:07:15.560 is do you have the will to do it? I 102 00:07:15.639 --> 00:07:16.920 have the will to do it. 103 00:07:18.920 --> 00:07:21.600 That is the potential future president of the United States, 104 00:07:21.600 --> 00:07:24.519 and that is what we are now left with. We're 105 00:07:24.600 --> 00:07:32.639 left with one candidate who who I don't understand Donald Trump. 106 00:07:32.879 --> 00:07:36.519 Haven't understood Donald Trump? Maybe some of you do. Over 107 00:07:36.560 --> 00:07:45.879 the weekend, he said he was better looking than Kamala Harris. Really, 108 00:07:46.720 --> 00:07:52.759 I mean, is that the level of presidential debate? Who's 109 00:07:52.839 --> 00:07:58.120 better looking? And look, I'm in no position to judge, 110 00:07:58.120 --> 00:08:00.439 but I don't think Donald Trump isn't any position a 111 00:08:00.560 --> 00:08:03.720 judge either. So what we have is someone who has 112 00:08:03.800 --> 00:08:11.639 expressed a willingness to literally literally have government control the economy. 113 00:08:11.720 --> 00:08:15.439 And you know what happens when government controls the economy. 114 00:08:16.600 --> 00:08:23.879 Things disappear, Shelves go bare. Think Cuba, think Venezuela, Think Russia, 115 00:08:24.839 --> 00:08:28.959 think countries behind the Iron Curtain. We are a nation 116 00:08:29.399 --> 00:08:37.080 that has so much, so much natural resources, so many 117 00:08:37.240 --> 00:08:41.399 wonderful farms. We feed the world, We feed our company, 118 00:08:41.799 --> 00:08:50.840 our country. We have social food programs here that are extraordinary. 119 00:08:51.799 --> 00:09:00.679 Do we really want to have food and price controls? Basically, 120 00:09:01.519 --> 00:09:07.559 the vice president maybe she doesn't realize it. She can 121 00:09:07.600 --> 00:09:11.799 go back to nineteen seventy one. Here was a Republican 122 00:09:11.879 --> 00:09:19.240 President Richard Nixon talking about freezing prices one a rob. 123 00:09:20.320 --> 00:09:24.240 The time has come for decisive action, action that will 124 00:09:24.279 --> 00:09:29.360 break the vicious circle of spiraling prices and costs. I 125 00:09:29.399 --> 00:09:34.159 am today ordering a freeze on all prices and wages 126 00:09:34.240 --> 00:09:36.960 throughout the United States for a period of ninety days. 127 00:09:38.840 --> 00:09:42.200 How did that work out for you, trickster? It didn't, 128 00:09:42.679 --> 00:09:49.639 it didn't. We are in looneytoo Land, looneytune land right now, okay, 129 00:09:50.440 --> 00:09:54.360 And I have no idea. I do think I have 130 00:09:54.399 --> 00:09:57.240 an understanding of where she's coming from. I think she 131 00:09:57.519 --> 00:10:03.799 looks upon unbridled government authority and power like no presidential 132 00:10:03.840 --> 00:10:08.080 candidate in my lifetime has ever looked at it. That 133 00:10:08.279 --> 00:10:13.159 scares me. And Donald Trump, who is not able to 134 00:10:13.240 --> 00:10:16.919 have the discipline to go out and talk about issues 135 00:10:17.320 --> 00:10:21.960 and forget the adominum attacks on his opponent and his 136 00:10:22.279 --> 00:10:27.039 former opponent. I mean, he acts like a sixth grader. 137 00:10:27.360 --> 00:10:29.759 Maybe no, he doesn't act like a sixth grader. I 138 00:10:29.799 --> 00:10:31.919 give him too much credit. He acts like about a 139 00:10:31.960 --> 00:10:34.919 third grader, you know, who wants to get into a fight, 140 00:10:35.320 --> 00:10:38.120 a school yard fight with every kid in the school 141 00:10:38.159 --> 00:10:41.919 yard because he's a little bigger or whatever. This is 142 00:10:42.000 --> 00:10:46.799 the choice we're left with. This is it, folks, for 143 00:10:46.960 --> 00:10:52.440 twenty twenty four. I would love to have your thoughts 144 00:10:53.039 --> 00:10:57.519 on pick your poison six one, seven, two, five, four 145 00:10:57.600 --> 00:11:02.799 ten thirty six one seven, nine three ten thirty. This 146 00:11:03.000 --> 00:11:06.440 is frightening when you talk about we will smash their patents, 147 00:11:06.480 --> 00:11:11.639 we will take them. That's that's that is the comment 148 00:11:11.799 --> 00:11:16.279 of a fascist. That is the comment of a fascist. 149 00:11:16.360 --> 00:11:20.320 We will take over industry if we have to. We 150 00:11:20.399 --> 00:11:22.840 do not care about a free market system. We do 151 00:11:22.919 --> 00:11:27.279 not care about a capitalistic system. We have more variety 152 00:11:27.639 --> 00:11:30.919 in now. There are prices that are overpriced. There's no 153 00:11:31.120 --> 00:11:35.639 question about it. Guess what the solution prices overpriced is. 154 00:11:36.200 --> 00:11:39.960 The solution is real simple. Don't buy the prices it 155 00:11:40.159 --> 00:11:42.799 don't buy, don't don't spend the money on the prices, 156 00:11:42.799 --> 00:11:47.399 don't buy the products. I walk proudly past items that 157 00:11:47.679 --> 00:11:52.559 I like because I think they are priced higher than 158 00:11:52.679 --> 00:11:55.919 I want to pay for them. That's an individual decision 159 00:11:56.159 --> 00:11:59.440 that I have a right to make as an American citizen. 160 00:11:59.759 --> 00:12:04.320 And if you want to put a package of cookies 161 00:12:04.399 --> 00:12:08.559 on the shelf and charge eighteen dollars, will all walk 162 00:12:08.679 --> 00:12:13.399 past that price, Okay? And guess what. Eventually the prices 163 00:12:13.559 --> 00:12:18.919 will come down. Fundamental economics one oh one. Inflation has 164 00:12:19.039 --> 00:12:25.000 caused when too much money is chasing too few goods. 165 00:12:25.600 --> 00:12:28.919 That's the problem we have right now, and it is 166 00:12:28.960 --> 00:12:32.320 not going to be solved by smashing patents and taking 167 00:12:32.360 --> 00:12:37.279 over companies like was done in Nazi Germany or in 168 00:12:37.320 --> 00:12:41.919 communists in the Soviet Union. I want to hear from you, 169 00:12:41.960 --> 00:12:45.399 and I'm hoping there's some people out who understand what 170 00:12:45.919 --> 00:12:50.879 is at stake here. This is the future, not of 171 00:12:50.919 --> 00:12:53.639 my country, because frankly, you know, I am well on 172 00:12:53.679 --> 00:12:56.240 the wrong side of fifty. But I'm worried about my kids, 173 00:12:56.320 --> 00:13:01.399 my grandkids, about where we're headed headed at this point, 174 00:13:01.600 --> 00:13:04.559 and somehow, some way, we as a nation have to 175 00:13:04.559 --> 00:13:06.320 figure it out. And I'm not sure there's a good 176 00:13:06.320 --> 00:13:08.960 solution here. Back on Nightside after this. 177 00:13:10.360 --> 00:13:13.360 Now back to Dan Ray live from the Window World 178 00:13:13.480 --> 00:13:16.960 nights Side Studios on DUBZ News Radio. 179 00:13:17.679 --> 00:13:22.279 Let's go to the calls six triple eight, nine, nine, 180 00:13:22.360 --> 00:13:25.639 ten thirty and also six one, seven, nine thirty.

Let me go to Mike and Beverley 182 00:13:27.320 --> 00:13:29.159 mic first up this hour and Nightside Gor. 183 00:13:29.000 --> 00:13:33.279 Ahead, Wow, Hey, d me, yes, sir, here you find 184 00:13:33.279 --> 00:13:37.919 go right ahead, Hey, so quickly about the the Trump'm 185 00:13:37.919 --> 00:13:41.639 saying about the the looking looking good situation. That was 186 00:13:41.679 --> 00:13:45.399 about the Time magazine how to go about Kamala Harris, 187 00:13:45.759 --> 00:13:49.840 about how they they they they hand drew her picture 188 00:13:50.200 --> 00:13:53.360 Time Magazine, How I go and now it his they 189 00:13:53.720 --> 00:13:56.519 they they they screwed it all up, stuff like that, 190 00:13:57.000 --> 00:14:00.120 and they should have put a they didn't put as 191 00:14:00.320 --> 00:14:01.799 on the Time magazine. 192 00:14:01.840 --> 00:14:03.919 But you have the shift by some on bios on 193 00:14:04.000 --> 00:14:06.799 the Time magazine because she came back one out of 194 00:14:06.879 --> 00:14:10.000 gold and she was the most decorated Gold medalist, but 195 00:14:10.039 --> 00:14:13.000 they said she put Kama Arason that you know, thing 196 00:14:13.080 --> 00:14:15.159 could be about the whole Joe Biden. 197 00:14:15.240 --> 00:14:18.159 That is the key issue. I would tell you this, Mike, 198 00:14:18.240 --> 00:14:20.480 That's one of the key issues in this campaign. And 199 00:14:20.519 --> 00:14:23.200 I'm glad that Trump is spending time talking about that 200 00:14:23.240 --> 00:14:25.720 one because I think that is a pressing issue. 201 00:14:27.559 --> 00:14:30.200 Yeah, I get it. It's a big time you know, 202 00:14:30.480 --> 00:14:32.600 yeah much, Yeah, that. 203 00:14:32.679 --> 00:14:35.360 Is forefront in my mind. I care about inflation, I 204 00:14:35.399 --> 00:14:40.159 care about immigration, and I care about the federal debt. 205 00:14:40.320 --> 00:14:43.679 But whether or not whose position is on whose pictures 206 00:14:43.720 --> 00:14:47.159 on the cover of Time magazine, particularly after the Olympics. 207 00:14:47.600 --> 00:14:49.039 That to me is the number one issue. 208 00:14:49.080 --> 00:14:51.799 I agree with you, Yeah, I get that, But he 209 00:14:51.840 --> 00:14:54.519 was just short around on his feet there other day 210 00:14:54.759 --> 00:14:58.360 about the situation I get, but a whole inflation about though. 211 00:14:58.639 --> 00:15:00.600 Yeah, well, I think that when you when you think 212 00:15:00.639 --> 00:15:03.039 about you know, for example, some some of the presidential 213 00:15:03.039 --> 00:15:06.360 comments by you know, President Roosevelt, we have nothing to 214 00:15:06.399 --> 00:15:09.720 fear but fear itself. Uh, you know, President Kennedy, ask 215 00:15:09.919 --> 00:15:12.200 not what your country can do for you, but what 216 00:15:12.360 --> 00:15:12.799 you can do. 217 00:15:12.799 --> 00:15:13.440 For your country. 218 00:15:13.879 --> 00:15:17.159 I think that we would add to that list. Whatever 219 00:15:17.240 --> 00:15:20.799 Donald Trump said about Time magazine and Simone Biles, it 220 00:15:20.840 --> 00:15:25.159 should be. I think it should be. It should be 221 00:15:25.200 --> 00:15:29.080 emblazoned on buildings across America. That's how strongly I feel 222 00:15:29.080 --> 00:15:31.799 about him bringing that important issue to the forefront. 223 00:15:32.879 --> 00:15:34.759 I get him, But if people don't understand the part 224 00:15:34.759 --> 00:15:37.720 of inflation, you know, inflation of as you just said, 225 00:15:37.720 --> 00:15:41.519 it is about the whole spending money too much, too much, 226 00:15:41.600 --> 00:15:44.559 and too much coming back and the free money given out. 227 00:15:44.799 --> 00:15:48.240 That's why places is so high, and they don't understand that. 228 00:15:48.440 --> 00:15:51.759 And most of his still gas, you know, the fuel economy, 229 00:15:52.080 --> 00:15:54.240 and the LA goes on that sort of stuff. They 230 00:15:54.240 --> 00:15:56.960 give them money away like like it's like it's candy, 231 00:15:57.200 --> 00:16:00.200 and that's a desire inflation. Now there's other virus to 232 00:16:00.320 --> 00:16:01.200 kill everyone else. 233 00:16:01.600 --> 00:16:04.200 Yeah, well, I mean you know right now, you know 234 00:16:04.279 --> 00:16:06.799 Harris wants to give first time home buyers twenty five 235 00:16:06.840 --> 00:16:10.120 thousand dollars. I want to give him fifty thousand dollars. 236 00:16:10.120 --> 00:16:12.840 I mean, why not one hundred thousand dollars? What can 237 00:16:12.879 --> 00:16:15.200 you get for twenty five thousand dollars? This is cut 238 00:16:15.240 --> 00:16:16.480 two way, This. 239 00:16:16.360 --> 00:16:18.519 Is this is some of the economic. 240 00:16:18.200 --> 00:16:21.039 Brilliance of the Vice president. Two way, please Rob. 241 00:16:21.320 --> 00:16:25.159 In addition, while we work on the housing shortage, my 242 00:16:25.279 --> 00:16:29.720 administration will provide first time home buyers with twenty five 243 00:16:29.799 --> 00:16:32.639 thousand dollars to help. 244 00:16:33.440 --> 00:16:38.879 WHOA maybe good, Yeah that's great.

That's 250 00:16:50.039 --> 00:16:51.039 what it's gonna cause. 251 00:16:51.120 --> 00:16:55.240 Though you are absolutely right, Mike, you know something.

I think that's a great idea, Okay, But 283 00:18:34.200 --> 00:18:37.559 where was the Biden Harris administration with the last three 284 00:18:37.599 --> 00:18:39.559 and a half years. I mean, did that thought not 285 00:18:39.799 --> 00:18:42.400 pass to anyone's mind? And why didn't they act on it? 286 00:18:43.359 --> 00:18:43.519 No? 287 00:18:43.759 --> 00:18:48.759 Exactly, she's saying, oh, we're gonna build three million dollar homes. 288 00:18:49.039 --> 00:18:52.480 By the way, By the way, that the only homes 289 00:18:52.519 --> 00:18:56.720 the government builds are homes that they build with our 290 00:18:57.160 --> 00:19:02.119 federal tax dollars. They don't build homes. They tax people, 291 00:19:02.519 --> 00:19:05.519 and then with that tax money they build some homes. 292 00:19:05.559 --> 00:19:08.640 But it's it's builders who build the homes. 293 00:19:11.000 --> 00:19:16.400 My thing is is, why is she promising she's going 294 00:19:16.480 --> 00:19:21.200 to do this and do that when she had four years? 295 00:19:22.200 --> 00:19:25.480 You know, you're asking, you're asking a great what's called 296 00:19:25.519 --> 00:19:29.319 a rhetorical question. You know what the answer to that is. 297 00:19:29.759 --> 00:19:33.599 And the answer to that is she's trolling for votes. 298 00:19:35.599 --> 00:19:40.160 Shame on her, okay, And you know what, and then 299 00:19:40.640 --> 00:19:45.680 and then with mister Trump, right, It's like, who cares 300 00:19:45.960 --> 00:19:51.000 what anybody looks like. We don't care what you look like. 301 00:19:51.200 --> 00:19:53.880 We need to hear what you're going to do for 302 00:19:53.960 --> 00:19:58.839 our country. And if you keep like you know, you're 303 00:19:58.880 --> 00:20:01.640 not going to be voted, you're not going to be voted. 304 00:20:02.160 --> 00:20:05.039 Yeah. Well, I'll tell you this. This guy almost sounds 305 00:20:05.039 --> 00:20:07.559 to me like every day he wants to say something 306 00:20:07.839 --> 00:20:13.079 really insulting, really abrasive, and he wants to further turn 307 00:20:13.160 --> 00:20:16.759 off the voters that he needs to win. You almost 308 00:20:16.799 --> 00:20:19.960 wonder if Donald Trump really wants to win this office 309 00:20:20.279 --> 00:20:23.240 or whether he would prefer to lose again and wallow 310 00:20:23.279 --> 00:20:25.319 in his own misery, in his own martyrdom. 311 00:20:26.440 --> 00:20:29.960 I agree with you. So I need to ask you something, Dan, 312 00:20:30.079 --> 00:20:36.039 which not like into voting, but who else Like you 313 00:20:36.079 --> 00:20:42.640 know what mister Kennedy is, he's somebody that could take 314 00:20:42.680 --> 00:20:44.480 our country four percent. 315 00:20:44.559 --> 00:20:48.200 His poll right now is he's polling in four percent. 316 00:20:49.880 --> 00:20:54.960 So Rosspureau. Ross Pureau won nineteen percent of the popular 317 00:20:55.039 --> 00:20:58.640 vote in nineteen ninety two, nineteen percent, almost twenty percent. 318 00:20:58.839 --> 00:21:03.440 You know how many electoral votes ross Boro? One? No, 319 00:21:03.759 --> 00:21:09.279 it's a very round number. It's called zero. Really, in 320 00:21:09.400 --> 00:21:11.519 order to in order to win electoral votes. You got 321 00:21:11.559 --> 00:21:14.200 to get somewhere up in the high the mid to 322 00:21:14.279 --> 00:21:17.480 high thirties and hope that it splits in your direct No, 323 00:21:18.359 --> 00:21:21.720 Robert F. Kennedy Jr. Is that this path as days 324 00:21:21.720 --> 00:21:23.680 go by, becoming more and more of a non factor. 325 00:21:23.680 --> 00:21:25.079 It's going to be Harris or Trump. 326 00:21:26.400 --> 00:21:30.200 But I just I have a question though, Right, so 327 00:21:30.880 --> 00:21:38.599 all we see is Trump and what's her face? Why 328 00:21:38.680 --> 00:21:43.799 don't we see more of the other parties? 329 00:21:45.119 --> 00:21:46.119 What other parties? 330 00:21:46.759 --> 00:21:47.920 Well, I'm just saying, you. 331 00:21:47.880 --> 00:21:51.359 Know, the Green Party or the Libertarian Party. 332 00:21:51.720 --> 00:21:57.039 Yeah, yeah, yeah, because for years and years and years, 333 00:21:57.039 --> 00:21:59.599 the Green Party have run candidates Jill Stein for the 334 00:21:59.599 --> 00:22:03.200 most part, the Libertarians always run a candidate. 335 00:22:03.319 --> 00:22:05.160 They get like one and a half percent of the 336 00:22:05.200 --> 00:22:10.000 vote in a few states. They're not relevant. I mean, 337 00:22:10.359 --> 00:22:12.599 you know in terms of sadly, I mean you you 338 00:22:12.599 --> 00:22:14.440 can argue and say, oh, it's too bad we only 339 00:22:14.519 --> 00:22:16.640 have two major parties, but that's what it is. 340 00:22:18.400 --> 00:22:22.119 I'm telling you think, I know, do you think that 341 00:22:22.119 --> 00:22:26.839 that is? Okay? So my thing is right, It's like, 342 00:22:26.839 --> 00:22:29.519 like I said, I'm not really into politics, but I'm like, 343 00:22:30.039 --> 00:22:34.720 why can't we just pick somebody that is going to 344 00:22:34.920 --> 00:22:38.119 run our country. It doesn't matter what party. This is 345 00:22:38.160 --> 00:22:39.440 where I get confused. 346 00:22:39.960 --> 00:22:40.839 Well, what happens is. 347 00:22:40.839 --> 00:22:42.839 You have these two major parties that are around now 348 00:22:42.839 --> 00:22:45.559 for hundreds of years, a couple of hundred years. And 349 00:22:46.640 --> 00:22:52.119 you know, the Republican Party was formed, you know, in 350 00:22:52.480 --> 00:22:55.519 eighteen sixty what would before that? But when they first 351 00:22:55.599 --> 00:22:58.920 elected Abraham Lincoln. The Democrats been around for a long time. 352 00:22:59.319 --> 00:23:02.839 They have each you involved in different directions. They represent 353 00:23:02.920 --> 00:23:08.359 the two significant philosophical philosophies of political thought, a more 354 00:23:08.440 --> 00:23:10.839 progressive liberal thought, whatever you want to call it, more 355 00:23:10.880 --> 00:23:15.160 conservative traditional thought. And that's what happens. And at the 356 00:23:15.240 --> 00:23:17.640 end of the day, we have third parties in this country, 357 00:23:17.640 --> 00:23:20.319 but they never get traction. I don't have a better 358 00:23:20.319 --> 00:23:22.680 answer than that, Rachel. I got to keep rolling, though. 359 00:23:22.839 --> 00:23:24.359 Where have you been? I haven't talked to you in 360 00:23:24.359 --> 00:23:26.039 a while. Come on back more often, will you? 361 00:23:27.039 --> 00:23:27.279 Yeah? 362 00:23:27.440 --> 00:23:30.920 Dan, I got some issues I got, like Parkinson's.
