1
00:00:26,399 --> 00:00:30,519
Speaker 1: And Hi, how are you busy day today? Welcome to

2
00:00:30,600 --> 00:00:35,359
the Big Podcast. It is Tuesday, November fourth, the fourth

3
00:00:35,399 --> 00:00:38,079
day of November, Year of Our Lord, twenty twenty five.

4
00:00:38,280 --> 00:00:41,479
My name is Tom Sullivan, and I were busy in

5
00:00:41,920 --> 00:00:46,399
only a few places around the country, but they're very

6
00:00:46,439 --> 00:00:51,399
prominently covered. We're talking course about the race's election races

7
00:00:51,439 --> 00:00:56,359
in Virginia and New Jersey, the marriage race in New

8
00:00:56,439 --> 00:01:04,079
York City, and the Proposition fifty about redistricting out in California.

9
00:01:04,239 --> 00:01:06,599
So we'll go over all of that. Plus we got

10
00:01:06,599 --> 00:01:11,159
word this morning that former Vice President Dick Cheney passed

11
00:01:11,159 --> 00:01:16,680
away at his home at the age of eighty four,

12
00:01:17,719 --> 00:01:25,079
complications of pneumonia and cardiac and vascular disease. And if

13
00:01:25,120 --> 00:01:30,120
you know anything about Dick Cheney, controversial, probably the most

14
00:01:30,159 --> 00:01:34,920
powerful vice president in our nation's history. He was the

15
00:01:35,079 --> 00:01:38,519
vice president to George W. Bush. But he was also,

16
00:01:38,680 --> 00:01:40,799
like I said, a lightning row. There was no question

17
00:01:40,799 --> 00:01:44,840
about that. People. He actually he knew about it, and

18
00:01:44,840 --> 00:01:47,200
he actually kind of laughed about it. The fact that

19
00:01:47,760 --> 00:01:50,799
people called him Darth Vader. And there were a lot

20
00:01:50,959 --> 00:01:55,200
back in those days, the early two thousands, there was

21
00:01:56,439 --> 00:01:58,799
memes weren't as good as they are today, but they

22
00:01:59,159 --> 00:02:05,680
came up with Darth Vader memes for him. He started

23
00:02:05,680 --> 00:02:10,159
off working in the Nixon administration. He went back that far,

24
00:02:11,000 --> 00:02:15,000
so he was but he was chief of staff to

25
00:02:15,159 --> 00:02:20,000
Gerald Ford nineteen seventy five. Gerald Ford was the brand

26
00:02:20,039 --> 00:02:27,360
new appointed president. Dick Cheney was thirty four years of age,

27
00:02:27,560 --> 00:02:29,599
and that made him the youngest chief of staffever. He

28
00:02:29,719 --> 00:02:32,120
was there to drive the White House and Gerald Ford

29
00:02:33,319 --> 00:02:35,280
I looked back and I said this at the time,

30
00:02:35,319 --> 00:02:37,439
and I still believe it to this day. A lot

31
00:02:37,439 --> 00:02:40,319
of people made fun of him, that he was some

32
00:02:40,360 --> 00:02:44,199
sort of buffoon. He was anything, but he was.

33
00:02:44,240 --> 00:02:44,400
Speaker 2: Oh.

34
00:02:44,439 --> 00:02:46,680
Speaker 1: They made fun of him on Saturday Night Live of

35
00:02:46,759 --> 00:02:51,240
him not playing football with a proper helmet. He was

36
00:02:51,280 --> 00:02:56,759
an athletics star in Michigan. He did everything he could,

37
00:02:56,840 --> 00:03:01,240
ski like a pro. But he was also for many

38
00:03:01,319 --> 00:03:04,599
years a congressman and became the minority leader in the

39
00:03:04,639 --> 00:03:07,960
House of Representatives. So you've got a president who probably

40
00:03:08,000 --> 00:03:13,400
was the most qualified person to fill that office, Gerald Ford.

41
00:03:13,479 --> 00:03:15,960
And who did he pick to be his chief of staff?

42
00:03:16,360 --> 00:03:21,680
He picked Richard B. Cheney. And Cheney, so he starts

43
00:03:21,719 --> 00:03:25,800
off as chief of staff at thirty four he had

44
00:03:25,879 --> 00:03:29,360
his first heart attack as first of five heart attacks

45
00:03:29,919 --> 00:03:35,039
by the time he was thirty seven, he had stents

46
00:03:35,080 --> 00:03:39,360
put in his heart, he had a heart transplant. I mean,

47
00:03:39,400 --> 00:03:42,919
this guy was anything but healthy. But that transplant was

48
00:03:42,960 --> 00:03:48,199
thirteen years ago and he has lived thirteen years with

49
00:03:48,719 --> 00:03:56,960
a borrowed heart. His doctor, Jonathan Reiner, talked about the

50
00:03:57,039 --> 00:03:59,840
treatment for Dick Cheney as his patient.

51
00:04:00,879 --> 00:04:05,080
Speaker 3: So he was simultaneously the most complicated patient from a

52
00:04:05,080 --> 00:04:09,439
medical standpoint of ever taken care of, and also one

53
00:04:09,439 --> 00:04:13,800
of the easiest patients to take care of, A very

54
00:04:15,319 --> 00:04:22,319
gracious and grateful patient, incredibly compliant, and he was He

55
00:04:22,399 --> 00:04:23,079
was easy to.

56
00:04:23,040 --> 00:04:25,600
Speaker 2: Take care of because he did what you said he

57
00:04:25,600 --> 00:04:26,000
should do.

58
00:04:26,480 --> 00:04:31,199
Speaker 3: Yeah, he asked good questions, made I think good decisions,

59
00:04:31,759 --> 00:04:37,519
followed recommendations, scrupulously, came back to follow up, listened to

60
00:04:37,600 --> 00:04:39,000
his body and his heart.

61
00:04:39,920 --> 00:04:41,040
Speaker 1: He was in a meeting.

62
00:04:41,000 --> 00:04:44,160
Speaker 3: In March of twenty twenty and he had some chest

63
00:04:44,160 --> 00:04:46,000
pain and he just called me and said, you know,

64
00:04:46,040 --> 00:04:47,879
I'm having some chest pain. What do you think I

65
00:04:47,879 --> 00:04:49,439
should do? And I said, well, I think you probably

66
00:04:49,519 --> 00:04:52,160
need another heart catheterization. He said, Okay, I'll be there

67
00:04:52,160 --> 00:04:54,240
in a few minutes and he just handed his portfolio

68
00:04:54,360 --> 00:04:56,920
to in Aid and said we're going to GW and

69
00:04:57,040 --> 00:05:02,399
Whorreders of Washington University. Yeah, and he he put his

70
00:05:02,399 --> 00:05:05,079
his health before before politics, and I think that's one

71
00:05:05,079 --> 00:05:09,079
of the reasons why why he lived so long. Well,

72
00:05:09,120 --> 00:05:12,439
he the vice president, had his first heart attack in

73
00:05:12,519 --> 00:05:15,439
nineteen seventy eight when he was thirty seven years old,

74
00:05:16,000 --> 00:05:19,600
at a time when medicine and cardiology could do nothing

75
00:05:20,040 --> 00:05:22,879
to basically stop the heart attack. It was just all

76
00:05:23,279 --> 00:05:26,360
watchful waiting, and he had a big heart attack then.

77
00:05:27,120 --> 00:05:35,360
And over the ensuing almost fifty years, medical advances basically

78
00:05:36,360 --> 00:05:39,000
caught up to his caught up to his disease just

79
00:05:39,560 --> 00:05:44,519
the right moment, and he had athrosclerosis, which is a

80
00:05:44,560 --> 00:05:49,399
systemic disease. And you know, finally after after fifty years,

81
00:05:51,160 --> 00:05:53,199
you know, he reached a point in his life where

82
00:05:53,480 --> 00:05:56,639
he just didn't have any more resilience. It did, so

83
00:05:56,800 --> 00:05:59,959
he lived for about thirteen years after the heart transport.

84
00:06:00,600 --> 00:06:03,040
I want to say that as his doctor, I had

85
00:06:03,319 --> 00:06:07,160
an opportunity to see him in very private moments, and

86
00:06:07,279 --> 00:06:12,199
what struck me on many occasions was his personal courage.

87
00:06:13,360 --> 00:06:16,639
He was in trouble in twenty ten, really dying of

88
00:06:16,639 --> 00:06:19,720
heart failure, and really late at night, we told him

89
00:06:19,720 --> 00:06:23,360
that he needed emergency surgery to put this mechanical ventricular

90
00:06:23,360 --> 00:06:26,120
assist device in. He asked a couple of questions and said,

91
00:06:26,199 --> 00:06:28,600
let's do it. And you know, the same thing for

92
00:06:28,680 --> 00:06:34,079
his transplants. So he faced personal peril with a remarkable calmness,

93
00:06:34,240 --> 00:06:40,639
a preternatural calmness, which was really remarkable, remarkable to see.

94
00:06:42,959 --> 00:06:46,000
Speaker 1: Everybody knew that he had a bad heart. We'll play

95
00:06:46,600 --> 00:06:49,160
a story from Carl Role here in just a minute.

96
00:06:49,319 --> 00:06:53,360
But I had the pleasure of getting to know the

97
00:06:53,439 --> 00:06:58,399
Vice president decently. I wasn't close friends with the man,

98
00:06:59,319 --> 00:07:05,160
but it was many years ago when President George W.

99
00:07:05,279 --> 00:07:09,480
Bush was elected president. His first trip out of Washington,

100
00:07:09,560 --> 00:07:12,160
d c. After nine to eleven was an APEX conference

101
00:07:12,279 --> 00:07:14,600
in I think it was in Tokyo. It was in Asia,

102
00:07:15,240 --> 00:07:19,240
and he stopped in Sacramento and the White House called

103
00:07:19,240 --> 00:07:23,759
and asked if I would introduce him, and I of course,

104
00:07:24,040 --> 00:07:26,639
and I actually went on to kind of be the

105
00:07:26,680 --> 00:07:31,800
introducer of George W. Bush in California. I think on

106
00:07:31,920 --> 00:07:33,800
three different account I know two for sure, there may

107
00:07:33,800 --> 00:07:39,040
have been a third vaguely anyway, with Cheney's office found

108
00:07:39,079 --> 00:07:41,399
out that that I was the guy to call for

109
00:07:41,439 --> 00:07:44,800
that stuff. So Cheney was coming to California for something,

110
00:07:45,240 --> 00:07:48,160
and I think it was four maybe five times they

111
00:07:48,240 --> 00:07:52,759
called and I would meet with Vice President Cheney and

112
00:07:52,839 --> 00:07:54,920
do the introductions and all that. But you met him

113
00:07:54,959 --> 00:07:57,639
backstage and you'd talk to him a little bit. He

114
00:07:57,800 --> 00:08:01,519
was a very I don't know, a lot of people

115
00:08:01,560 --> 00:08:03,519
think that he was a tough guy to get along

116
00:08:03,519 --> 00:08:06,639
with because he was very serious. You never saw him smile.

117
00:08:07,279 --> 00:08:09,959
I got along with the guy great. I thought he

118
00:08:10,040 --> 00:08:14,480
had a very dry sense of humor. But he was

119
00:08:14,519 --> 00:08:21,720
a very committed Republicans conservative and that there's an article

120
00:08:21,759 --> 00:08:25,920
in National Review today. Jim Garrity wrote it about he

121
00:08:25,959 --> 00:08:30,199
did not change, the Republican Party changed. And of course

122
00:08:30,240 --> 00:08:34,279
he was controversial about the Iraq War and all of that.

123
00:08:34,440 --> 00:08:36,799
He was kind of the designer behind all of that.

124
00:08:37,639 --> 00:08:42,279
But when it came to when it came to business,

125
00:08:42,480 --> 00:08:45,480
the business of being the vice president, he was a

126
00:08:45,519 --> 00:08:49,240
partner with George W. Bush. He was the most influential

127
00:08:49,679 --> 00:08:54,320
vice president ever, no question about it. Pete Williams, I

128
00:08:54,360 --> 00:08:56,639
was surprised to learn this this morning. Pete Williams, who

129
00:08:56,960 --> 00:09:00,559
retired from NBC. I don't know a year or two ago.

130
00:09:00,639 --> 00:09:05,360
He was Pentagon correspondent for NBC. He started off working

131
00:09:05,639 --> 00:09:11,600
as an aid in Congressman Dick Cheney's office. Here's his

132
00:09:11,639 --> 00:09:12,840
story his journalism career.

133
00:09:12,879 --> 00:09:15,559
Speaker 4: He worked for Dick Cheney, were his press secretary when

134
00:09:15,600 --> 00:09:18,039
Dick Cheney was a congressman, and then you did public

135
00:09:18,039 --> 00:09:21,679
affairs for him when Cheney became the assistant Defense secretary.

136
00:09:22,080 --> 00:09:23,960
Give us some sense of what it was like working

137
00:09:24,000 --> 00:09:26,720
for him in those early days before he became a

138
00:09:26,759 --> 00:09:27,399
household name.

139
00:09:28,399 --> 00:09:29,519
Speaker 1: It was a total joy.

140
00:09:30,279 --> 00:09:33,440
Speaker 2: You know. I think people don't realize what a great

141
00:09:33,480 --> 00:09:37,799
sense of humor he had and how intensely loyal he

142
00:09:38,000 --> 00:09:42,559
was to the people who worked for him. He's in

143
00:09:42,600 --> 00:09:45,639
a very early point in my career with him. At

144
00:09:45,639 --> 00:09:50,240
the Pentagon, I and another senior official did something that

145
00:09:51,200 --> 00:09:56,320
alarmed the president, and the President George H. W. Bush,

146
00:09:56,639 --> 00:09:59,000
called Dick Cheney and said he was very upset, and

147
00:09:59,080 --> 00:10:02,320
mister Cheney said, you know, mister President, that was my idea.

148
00:10:02,440 --> 00:10:05,279
Well it wasn't his idea, but there he was taking

149
00:10:05,279 --> 00:10:08,360
the bullet for his rookie staffers. That's kind of an

150
00:10:08,399 --> 00:10:11,480
exceptional thing in Washington, and I can assure you that

151
00:10:11,480 --> 00:10:16,519
that inspires loyalty. We both grew up in the same place, Casper, Wyoming.

152
00:10:17,039 --> 00:10:19,720
Mister Cheney was born in Nebraska but moved to Casper,

153
00:10:20,159 --> 00:10:22,799
became the captain of the football team, married the high

154
00:10:22,840 --> 00:10:26,559
school cheerleader Lynn. Cheney had two great daughters. So I

155
00:10:27,120 --> 00:10:29,559
felt very close to him, and I was really honored

156
00:10:29,559 --> 00:10:32,000
to work for him. Every day was a learning experience

157
00:10:32,000 --> 00:10:32,320
with him.

158
00:10:32,399 --> 00:10:33,039
Speaker 5: Did you do.

159
00:10:34,559 --> 00:10:37,519
Speaker 6: Well well?

160
00:10:37,679 --> 00:10:41,039
Speaker 2: So this was early on in mister Chenie's tenure and

161
00:10:41,399 --> 00:10:44,080
the New York Times was looking for some background information

162
00:10:44,159 --> 00:10:48,679
about a forthcoming round of arms control discussions with the Soviets,

163
00:10:49,320 --> 00:10:52,639
and they asked if a senior official at the Pentagon,

164
00:10:53,200 --> 00:10:56,279
someone that really hadn't worked much with Cheney, could do

165
00:10:56,399 --> 00:10:59,120
some backgrounding. Chanie said yes, but be sure to talk

166
00:10:59,159 --> 00:11:01,759
to the National Curity Council in the State Department to

167
00:11:01,759 --> 00:11:04,879
make sure we're all lashed together. Well, this official revealed

168
00:11:04,879 --> 00:11:07,600
something in the background or that the President had intended

169
00:11:07,600 --> 00:11:11,279
to announce himself, so he wasn't very happy about it.

170
00:11:11,679 --> 00:11:14,159
But as I say, mister Cheney said, well, mister President,

171
00:11:14,840 --> 00:11:17,919
that was my idea. That was pretty amazing.

172
00:11:18,279 --> 00:11:20,759
Speaker 1: I think that story typifies.

173
00:11:20,840 --> 00:11:21,039
Speaker 7: Though.

174
00:11:21,519 --> 00:11:24,320
Speaker 1: What I knew about Dick Cheney and anybody who ever

175
00:11:24,360 --> 00:11:27,720
met him or worked with him, was that he was

176
00:11:28,759 --> 00:11:36,039
rigid in his beliefs and in his dedication as a

177
00:11:36,080 --> 00:11:39,840
conservative politician. And that I think is what is so

178
00:11:40,840 --> 00:11:43,320
frustrating to me over the years, is the fact that

179
00:11:43,480 --> 00:11:47,279
people turned on Dick Cheney and his daughter, who is

180
00:11:48,159 --> 00:11:51,600
the same sort of person, is absolutely she puts her

181
00:11:51,679 --> 00:11:58,879
principles over politics, and a lot of maga went to

182
00:11:58,919 --> 00:12:01,480
take her down, which her house seat because of that.

183
00:12:01,840 --> 00:12:05,879
But she was principled and so was her father. Was

184
00:12:05,960 --> 00:12:10,240
so dedicated to principal his principles and would not bend.

185
00:12:11,279 --> 00:12:14,840
And that's why was the Republican Party changed into a

186
00:12:14,879 --> 00:12:19,559
party of mega. Dick Cheney really was a Republican back

187
00:12:19,799 --> 00:12:22,679
in the day, a Reagan Republican. That's kind of the

188
00:12:22,720 --> 00:12:26,559
stripe that I am so. I am sad to see

189
00:12:26,600 --> 00:12:29,720
that Dick Chenney has passed away. I actually quite surprised

190
00:12:29,799 --> 00:12:33,279
he lived to a ripe oled eighty four years old.

191
00:12:33,279 --> 00:12:36,759
When he started having heart attacks when he was thirty seven.

192
00:12:37,320 --> 00:12:44,080
Scott Jennings, who is a younger voice for conservatives, this

193
00:12:44,159 --> 00:12:48,120
is his reaction to Dick Cheney's passing. Yeah, well, thanks

194
00:12:48,159 --> 00:12:49,879
for asking. He will be missed.

195
00:12:49,919 --> 00:12:52,320
Speaker 7: He was a legend of the Republican Party. I mean

196
00:12:52,360 --> 00:12:54,720
you look at his resume, youngest White House chief of

197
00:12:54,759 --> 00:12:58,480
staff ever. His time in the House was extremely consequential,

198
00:12:58,600 --> 00:13:00,480
rose up in the leadership ranks. He was the most

199
00:13:00,519 --> 00:13:03,480
powerful vice president. He was a good campaigner. You know,

200
00:13:03,519 --> 00:13:07,639
he wasn't known for being the big, gregarious personality that

201
00:13:07,679 --> 00:13:10,480
George W. Bush was, but he was an excellent campaigner.

202
00:13:10,519 --> 00:13:14,039
I worked on both Bush Cheney campaigns, and having him

203
00:13:14,080 --> 00:13:16,240
out on the campaign trail, you know, he was witty,

204
00:13:16,399 --> 00:13:19,480
he was wry, and he was a really good campaigner.

205
00:13:19,559 --> 00:13:21,240
And when I worked in the White House in the

206
00:13:21,279 --> 00:13:23,360
second term, we would often go up to his office

207
00:13:23,399 --> 00:13:25,399
and brief him on the political races of the day,

208
00:13:25,480 --> 00:13:27,840
and those were special moments for me. I have some

209
00:13:27,879 --> 00:13:30,679
great photos from those times. And he will be missed.

210
00:13:30,679 --> 00:13:33,080
He was a legend of the Republican Party. And the

211
00:13:33,120 --> 00:13:35,200
thing I remember most about him is that he and

212
00:13:35,240 --> 00:13:37,679
his people knew how to get things done inside of government.

213
00:13:37,720 --> 00:13:41,960
These people knew how to turn the bureaucracy towards outcomes

214
00:13:42,159 --> 00:13:46,279
and sometimes outcomes and politics these days are hard to find,

215
00:13:46,320 --> 00:13:48,559
so he'll be missed, you know. Regarding his stand in

216
00:13:48,559 --> 00:13:52,279
the Republican Party today, obviously he's been at odds from

217
00:13:53,159 --> 00:13:55,600
the current president. And that's okay. You know, not everybody

218
00:13:55,600 --> 00:13:57,360
has to get along or agree all the time. For

219
00:13:57,440 --> 00:13:59,720
us to all more in the loss of Dick Cheney

220
00:13:59,759 --> 00:14:04,080
and understand what a consequential legend that he was inside

221
00:14:04,080 --> 00:14:05,320
the Republican Party.

222
00:14:05,240 --> 00:14:07,440
Speaker 1: I couldn't agree more. And so for all of you

223
00:14:07,519 --> 00:14:11,679
that are big devotees of President Trump and therefore you

224
00:14:11,720 --> 00:14:16,360
don't like Dick Cheney or his daughter Liz, take Scott

225
00:14:16,440 --> 00:14:21,120
Jennings's word to heart that it's okay if you don't agree.

226
00:14:21,559 --> 00:14:27,320
But he was a very very good conservative Republican, probably

227
00:14:27,360 --> 00:14:30,159
the best vice president that we've ever had in this country.

228
00:14:30,840 --> 00:14:35,559
Daniel Perino was the press secretary in the Bush Cheney

229
00:14:35,600 --> 00:14:38,559
White House. Is a little reaction from her.

230
00:14:38,559 --> 00:14:40,679
Speaker 5: That, you know, this one hit me pretty hard. We

231
00:14:40,759 --> 00:14:45,480
had amazing ability, an opportunity to work together as a

232
00:14:45,519 --> 00:14:49,120
team an administration in Washington, d C. We had a wonderful,

233
00:14:49,240 --> 00:14:52,720
wyoming connection. Is a great father, a wonderful vice president,

234
00:14:53,000 --> 00:14:55,919
a great grandfather, grandfather. Did you know that in the

235
00:14:55,960 --> 00:14:59,639
recent years his granddaughter who she wrote, I believe she

236
00:14:59,679 --> 00:15:02,639
did either for Laramie or down in Colorado Springs. He

237
00:15:03,320 --> 00:15:06,879
drove with the horse to every single one of those competitions.

238
00:15:06,879 --> 00:15:07,759
Speaker 3: It's really terrific.

239
00:15:07,919 --> 00:15:10,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, most people only saw him in a suit and tie,

240
00:15:11,000 --> 00:15:15,000
a very Washington politician type guy. But instead he was

241
00:15:15,039 --> 00:15:19,960
a cowboy. He was a cowboy from Wyoming, and I

242
00:15:20,000 --> 00:15:22,440
think he liked that much better than being a politician.

243
00:15:22,960 --> 00:15:26,440
Karl Rove has some funny stories about his dealings with

244
00:15:27,039 --> 00:15:30,159
the Vice President when he was George Bush's political chief

245
00:15:30,200 --> 00:15:30,720
of staff.

246
00:15:31,200 --> 00:15:34,879
Speaker 6: Well, he was a great and good man and served

247
00:15:34,879 --> 00:15:40,759
our country with a great dedication for years. Youngest White

248
00:15:40,759 --> 00:15:44,480
House chief of staff served in the served first in

249
00:15:44,519 --> 00:15:47,799
the next administration chief of staff to Gerald Ford.

250
00:15:49,200 --> 00:15:50,840
Speaker 1: Not a real tough time for the country.

251
00:15:50,919 --> 00:15:53,240
Speaker 6: Yeah, really tough time for the country, and it was

252
00:15:53,320 --> 00:15:55,559
a young man to help steer the White House during

253
00:15:55,559 --> 00:15:58,480
these critical years. Ten years in the Congress, he was

254
00:15:58,519 --> 00:16:01,240
made a member of the republic Can House leadership as

255
00:16:01,279 --> 00:16:04,159
a freshman Republican. There was such enormous respect for him.

256
00:16:04,399 --> 00:16:08,080
Speaker 3: Did you want George Bush to pick him as his

257
00:16:08,200 --> 00:16:08,879
vice president?

258
00:16:08,960 --> 00:16:09,600
Speaker 1: No? No.

259
00:16:09,759 --> 00:16:13,440
Speaker 6: In fact, in fact, the President then governor called me

260
00:16:13,440 --> 00:16:15,639
and said he was coming back to town for campaign

261
00:16:15,679 --> 00:16:17,960
and he knew I was against the idea. He said,

262
00:16:18,000 --> 00:16:19,639
I want you to come to the Governor's mansion ten

263
00:16:19,639 --> 00:16:22,000
o'clock tomorrow morning. I want you to make the case

264
00:16:22,039 --> 00:16:23,879
to me why I shouldn't go with Cheney. So I

265
00:16:23,919 --> 00:16:26,360
show up to should not So I have my list.

266
00:16:26,399 --> 00:16:28,039
I still have the piece of paper. Eight reasons that

267
00:16:28,080 --> 00:16:31,320
don't need to worry about Wyoming guy. The guy has

268
00:16:31,320 --> 00:16:33,399
his first heart attack at thirty seven. People think he's

269
00:16:33,440 --> 00:16:35,799
not going to last. You know, we've worked really hard

270
00:16:35,799 --> 00:16:37,679
to develop the image of you as your own man,

271
00:16:38,159 --> 00:16:40,080
not mini me to your dad. Let's pick the guy

272
00:16:40,120 --> 00:16:42,720
who's you know, secretary of the defense during the time

273
00:16:42,759 --> 00:16:44,799
of war for your dad. You know your people are

274
00:16:44,799 --> 00:16:46,840
worried about you being in Texas. Ohlman, what the heck.

275
00:16:46,919 --> 00:16:49,600
Let's get the guy who is the leader of the

276
00:16:49,799 --> 00:16:52,600
you know, of the largest oil service company and field

277
00:16:52,600 --> 00:16:55,799
service company in the world. You know, very conservative congressman

278
00:16:55,840 --> 00:16:57,840
cast really bad votes, like vote with one of the

279
00:16:57,879 --> 00:17:01,080
three members of the House to vote against the resolution.

280
00:17:00,840 --> 00:17:03,039
Speaker 1: Call it sais oh. I had him. I had him.

281
00:17:03,080 --> 00:17:05,920
Speaker 6: So this goes on this like world as the data

282
00:17:05,960 --> 00:17:08,160
can tell you that Bush was not a monologue guy.

283
00:17:08,200 --> 00:17:10,799
So we're like the World Wrestling Federation for thirty minutes.

284
00:17:10,960 --> 00:17:14,119
When I finished, I realized I can't can't have my

285
00:17:14,119 --> 00:17:16,960
coat because I've swept through my shirt. That's been so contentious.

286
00:17:17,119 --> 00:17:19,559
So he finished, and Bush says, really good, really good.

287
00:17:19,920 --> 00:17:21,880
He made a good case there, turns to the guy

288
00:17:21,920 --> 00:17:24,000
sitting next to him, says, Dick got any questions for

289
00:17:24,079 --> 00:17:26,759
Carl Cheneyan's had been sitting there for half an hour

290
00:17:26,799 --> 00:17:29,160
while I kicked him around, And as we walked out,

291
00:17:29,200 --> 00:17:31,160
he says, Hi, gresson what you had to say?

292
00:17:31,559 --> 00:17:34,039
Speaker 5: And what was it that President Bush? Why did he

293
00:17:34,079 --> 00:17:34,720
want to pick him?

294
00:17:35,039 --> 00:17:38,759
Speaker 6: Because he wanted somebody who would tell him what he

295
00:17:38,839 --> 00:17:44,200
thought after careful consideration, and whether it was whether he

296
00:17:44,279 --> 00:17:46,039
knew the President would agree with it or not, whether

297
00:17:46,119 --> 00:17:48,319
the President liked her or not, and that he would

298
00:17:48,319 --> 00:17:51,319
help him formulate good decisions. And when Bush made a decision,

299
00:17:51,920 --> 00:17:54,279
even if Cheney, as he often was on the opposite

300
00:17:54,279 --> 00:17:56,680
side of it, would be loyal and executing in the

301
00:17:56,680 --> 00:17:59,559
best way possible. That office is so powerful you need

302
00:17:59,559 --> 00:18:02,319
somebody sitting coming in there, having lunch with you once

303
00:18:02,359 --> 00:18:04,440
a week and sitting in all the meetings. Who's going

304
00:18:04,519 --> 00:18:06,359
to tell you what it's like. And he also knew

305
00:18:06,359 --> 00:18:10,279
how a White House operated, So all these stupid stories

306
00:18:10,279 --> 00:18:12,880
about you know, Cheney ran the White No, Cheney knew

307
00:18:12,880 --> 00:18:15,039
exactly who the President of the United States was and

308
00:18:15,079 --> 00:18:18,400
how that place needed to operate and encourage people. I mean, look,

309
00:18:19,119 --> 00:18:21,160
he could have easily said, you know what, that guy

310
00:18:21,359 --> 00:18:24,039
was against me, and then yet we became close friends.

311
00:18:24,039 --> 00:18:27,880
We hunted together. I was on the secret committee that

312
00:18:27,880 --> 00:18:28,400
he chaired.

313
00:18:29,480 --> 00:18:31,119
Speaker 1: So he forgave you for your mistake.

314
00:18:32,000 --> 00:18:34,799
Speaker 6: That's what one of the messages Bush was sending him was,

315
00:18:34,880 --> 00:18:36,799
I want to surround myself with people who will give

316
00:18:36,839 --> 00:18:38,000
it to me with a bark off.

317
00:18:38,279 --> 00:18:43,200
Speaker 1: One more from Jamie Gangal. She also has been around

318
00:18:43,559 --> 00:18:46,200
Washington as a reporter for a number of different networks.

319
00:18:46,359 --> 00:18:49,319
Speaker 8: You know, I have not spoken to the family this morning,

320
00:18:49,400 --> 00:18:52,480
but I have been speaking to Liz Cheney over the

321
00:18:52,559 --> 00:18:55,240
last couple of weeks, and I think one of the

322
00:18:55,279 --> 00:19:00,799
most important things she would like people to remember about

323
00:19:01,519 --> 00:19:05,279
her father is something that happened actually in the last decade,

324
00:19:05,799 --> 00:19:08,759
and that is she said, you know, the way she

325
00:19:09,160 --> 00:19:13,200
was raised by her father gave her the courage of

326
00:19:13,240 --> 00:19:18,319
her convictions. Liz knows that and the family knows that.

327
00:19:19,559 --> 00:19:24,799
You know, many people will remember her father for being

328
00:19:24,920 --> 00:19:29,039
a powerful and controversial vice president because of the Iraq

329
00:19:29,119 --> 00:19:33,359
War and nine to eleven, but she hopes people will

330
00:19:33,519 --> 00:19:39,200
also remember that, as she says, he chose country over party.

331
00:19:40,559 --> 00:19:45,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, a very principal guy that you won't find many

332
00:19:45,680 --> 00:19:48,680
in politics that have the kind of principles that Dick

333
00:19:48,759 --> 00:19:53,720
Cheney had. So we watch as we move on on day. Well,

334
00:19:53,759 --> 00:19:57,079
by the way, it's shut down day thirty five. How's

335
00:19:57,119 --> 00:20:00,119
that going for you? If you're traveling? Good luck. The

336
00:20:00,160 --> 00:20:04,039
airports are getting to be long lines because TSA. People

337
00:20:04,559 --> 00:20:08,519
are calling in sick. The air traffic controllers there are

338
00:20:08,640 --> 00:20:12,799
problems in air traffic control towers. A lot of people

339
00:20:12,839 --> 00:20:15,680
think air traffic controllers are just in the tower at

340
00:20:15,680 --> 00:20:20,000
the airport. There are three levels of air traffic controllers.

341
00:20:20,000 --> 00:20:23,960
There's the controllers that are at the airport in that

342
00:20:24,200 --> 00:20:27,279
booth you see if they're with the glass windows where

343
00:20:27,319 --> 00:20:34,000
they manage the final approach in landing and the taxing

344
00:20:34,039 --> 00:20:36,400
around on the airport to get on the runway to

345
00:20:36,440 --> 00:20:40,000
take off. They take care of landings and takeoffs. Then

346
00:20:40,039 --> 00:20:45,759
they pass the plane on to another regional air traffic

347
00:20:45,799 --> 00:20:50,160
control center that is not at the airport. They're watching

348
00:20:50,200 --> 00:20:55,160
their computer screens, watching the planes coming into the area

349
00:20:55,279 --> 00:20:59,319
and leaving the area as they climb or descend. And

350
00:20:59,359 --> 00:21:03,759
then finally, the third are called centers, and I think

351
00:21:03,799 --> 00:21:06,960
there's I don't know, twelve of them something like that

352
00:21:07,039 --> 00:21:10,079
in the country, maybe fourteen something like that. They handle

353
00:21:10,200 --> 00:21:13,400
all the planes up at high elevations. So once you

354
00:21:13,519 --> 00:21:16,200
climb out of an airport and you're flying along to

355
00:21:16,279 --> 00:21:20,240
your destination, you're talking to that third set of controllers.

356
00:21:20,599 --> 00:21:25,079
The problem with that is they cover many states, and

357
00:21:25,440 --> 00:21:29,720
some of those are starting to show vacancies people not

358
00:21:29,839 --> 00:21:33,880
coming into work, which could shut down air travel for

359
00:21:34,759 --> 00:21:38,880
a big chunk of the country. So that is a

360
00:21:38,920 --> 00:21:42,079
growing problem. There's more and more buzz about the fact

361
00:21:42,119 --> 00:21:44,680
that behind the scenes, Republicans and Democrats are trying to

362
00:21:44,720 --> 00:21:48,640
figure out a way to get the government back open.

363
00:21:48,720 --> 00:21:52,759
But here we are, day thirty five, and the pressure

364
00:21:52,880 --> 00:21:56,319
is mounting. My theory I told you was wait until

365
00:21:56,400 --> 00:22:00,200
a day or two after election day when all of

366
00:22:00,200 --> 00:22:04,559
the election ramifications won't matter, because whoever's going to get

367
00:22:04,599 --> 00:22:11,359
elected today is going to get elected regardless. So speaking

368
00:22:11,400 --> 00:22:16,000
of election day, so here we are, it's one year

369
00:22:16,039 --> 00:22:19,200
away from the midterms, So this is kind of a

370
00:22:19,279 --> 00:22:24,119
little bit of a peak about the mood of the voters,

371
00:22:24,160 --> 00:22:29,160
at least in Virginia and New Jersey, New York City

372
00:22:29,519 --> 00:22:35,559
and California. And one of the things to watch I

373
00:22:35,559 --> 00:22:40,960
think Carl go back to Carl here. Carl Rove is

374
00:22:39,440 --> 00:22:44,519
he's a technician when it comes to campaigns, and he's

375
00:22:44,599 --> 00:22:48,599
looking to see that in New Jersey and in Virginia.

376
00:22:49,200 --> 00:22:55,720
Believe Kamala Harris won those states by six points. So

377
00:22:55,839 --> 00:22:59,559
the question will be if the two women that are

378
00:22:59,640 --> 00:23:02,759
running for governor as Democrats in New Jersey in Virginia,

379
00:23:03,359 --> 00:23:09,319
will they do better than Kamala Harris did in twenty

380
00:23:09,440 --> 00:23:12,920
twenty four a year ago, And if so, that might

381
00:23:13,599 --> 00:23:16,160
be a message to Kamala Harris to not try and

382
00:23:16,240 --> 00:23:19,359
run again. If they don't do as Wallace she did,

383
00:23:19,400 --> 00:23:22,079
that would probably be a message to her to say, well,

384
00:23:22,119 --> 00:23:27,440
I'm better than they are. So let's talk to Carl

385
00:23:27,519 --> 00:23:31,279
Rove and get his take on the elections that are

386
00:23:31,319 --> 00:23:33,319
going on today. These are the things I'm going to

387
00:23:33,319 --> 00:23:36,200
be looking at tonight. First of all, I'm going to

388
00:23:36,240 --> 00:23:38,160
be looking at the numbers, how do they compare to

389
00:23:38,200 --> 00:23:41,880
the twenty twenty four numbers, because remember these two states

390
00:23:42,160 --> 00:23:45,000
were basically six point victories for Kamala Harris. That was

391
00:23:45,000 --> 00:23:48,680
particularly unusual for New Jersey, which been a fifteen point

392
00:23:48,839 --> 00:23:52,799
victory for Joe Biden four years before. I'm going to

393
00:23:52,799 --> 00:23:54,920
be looking at the non white voters in New Jersey,

394
00:23:55,000 --> 00:23:56,559
especially Hispanics Passaic.

395
00:23:56,640 --> 00:23:59,160
Speaker 6: You talked about it earlier. This was a big reason

396
00:23:59,160 --> 00:24:01,680
why the state moved right in the twenty twenty four

397
00:24:01,759 --> 00:24:04,200
general election. And I'm going to be looking at the

398
00:24:04,200 --> 00:24:08,440
suburbs in Virginia. Chesterfield, the big suburban county outside of Richmond,

399
00:24:08,720 --> 00:24:11,720
Stafford County, which is sort of between Washington and Richmond.

400
00:24:11,759 --> 00:24:14,960
I'm going to be looking at how the Republicans are

401
00:24:14,960 --> 00:24:17,680
doing in those counties because again that's where Trump made

402
00:24:17,680 --> 00:24:20,160
some movement in twenty twenty four. I'm going to look

403
00:24:20,160 --> 00:24:23,920
at ticket splitters. Virginia has a history of splitting tickets,

404
00:24:24,480 --> 00:24:27,039
and this is why even though the Republican candidate for

405
00:24:27,119 --> 00:24:31,039
governor is behind in the polls, the Republican Attorney General,

406
00:24:31,079 --> 00:24:33,920
Jason and Airis, is in a dead heat, maybe even

407
00:24:34,000 --> 00:24:36,279
leading slightly I'm going to be looking at that, and

408
00:24:36,319 --> 00:24:38,119
then I'm going to be paying attention to what's happening

409
00:24:38,160 --> 00:24:41,200
down ballot. In New Jersey there are assembly seats that

410
00:24:41,519 --> 00:24:44,599
Republicans look like they could pick up Assembly seats in

411
00:24:44,680 --> 00:24:48,480
South New Jersey. And in Virginia there are eight Republican

412
00:24:48,480 --> 00:24:51,279
members of the House of Delegates whose districts were carried

413
00:24:51,279 --> 00:24:54,279
by Kamala Harris. I'm going to look for any erosion there.

414
00:24:54,319 --> 00:24:57,319
And then finally, Pennsylvania has a retention election for the

415
00:24:57,359 --> 00:25:00,160
Supreme Court. This is a state where the margin, the

416
00:25:00,200 --> 00:25:04,400
registration margin between Democrats and Republicans has gotten very, very thin,

417
00:25:04,559 --> 00:25:06,359
and it's going to be a quick looking at the

418
00:25:06,400 --> 00:25:10,319
results there. If the Democrat Supreme Court justice has win comfortably,

419
00:25:10,839 --> 00:25:13,720
then that's going to show enthusiasm on their side. If

420
00:25:13,720 --> 00:25:15,880
it's a close race, that's going to show that the

421
00:25:15,920 --> 00:25:19,880
two parties are polarized and both energized. So since its election,

422
00:25:19,960 --> 00:25:23,039
they usually we have some information about, you know, the

423
00:25:23,240 --> 00:25:27,200
polling machine problems at something such a precinct. I haven't

424
00:25:27,240 --> 00:25:30,160
really heard any of that today, but we did get

425
00:25:31,160 --> 00:25:36,160
bomb threats today at a school polling location in North Brunswick,

426
00:25:36,240 --> 00:25:40,400
New Jersey. And we're finding out this afternoon that authorities

427
00:25:40,880 --> 00:25:44,400
in New Jersey have announced an arrest in connection with

428
00:25:44,440 --> 00:25:49,200
those bomb threats. They began as a bomb threat at

429
00:25:49,240 --> 00:25:54,279
Livingston Park Elementary School via text messages and they were

430
00:25:54,359 --> 00:25:57,799
quickly deemed to be a hoax. But the person who

431
00:25:57,839 --> 00:26:00,839
was sending those has been has arrested.

432
00:26:01,480 --> 00:26:04,680
Speaker 1: Good. So the debate is going to be interesting again

433
00:26:04,720 --> 00:26:09,519
in California because Proposition fifty gives the drawing of the

434
00:26:09,559 --> 00:26:14,599
congressional districts, which the voters took away fifteen years ago

435
00:26:14,799 --> 00:26:20,319
from the politicians and created an independent committee to draw

436
00:26:20,400 --> 00:26:26,480
those lines. Proposition fifty gives those line drawing authority back

437
00:26:26,519 --> 00:26:30,720
to the politicians. If this wins, this is going to

438
00:26:30,759 --> 00:26:33,440
be a plus for Gavin Newsom because he's the guy

439
00:26:33,480 --> 00:26:36,279
who kind of came up with this in response to

440
00:26:36,400 --> 00:26:40,480
Texas coming up with redrawing their congressional districts to try

441
00:26:40,519 --> 00:26:43,880
to get more Republicans in Congress. So this is a

442
00:26:43,880 --> 00:26:47,319
feather in his cap if it wins, as he's fighting

443
00:26:47,359 --> 00:26:50,960
back against the Republicans and Donald Trump. If it loses,

444
00:26:52,839 --> 00:26:56,920
he's in trouble. It would be a huge setback for

445
00:26:56,960 --> 00:27:00,559
Gavin Newsom. So we'll be keeping an eye on California,

446
00:27:00,599 --> 00:27:03,960
which their polls don't close until eight o'clock if I

447
00:27:04,000 --> 00:27:07,599
remember right, eight o'clock in the evening West Coast time,

448
00:27:07,839 --> 00:27:10,000
so it's going to be late before we find out

449
00:27:10,480 --> 00:27:15,119
here on the East Coast. The East Coast is worried

450
00:27:15,119 --> 00:27:19,359
about well. In Virginia, the Republican is falling behind on

451
00:27:19,400 --> 00:27:21,319
the poll, so we'll see if she can pull it out.

452
00:27:21,799 --> 00:27:26,880
In New Jersey, same thing, the Republican is slightly behind

453
00:27:27,000 --> 00:27:30,960
the Democrat, but it's a much much closer race in

454
00:27:31,640 --> 00:27:37,519
New Jersey than it is in Virginia. We've got the

455
00:27:37,599 --> 00:27:41,200
attorney general race with the guy who threatened to put

456
00:27:41,279 --> 00:27:45,240
bullets into the head of his political opponent in the

457
00:27:45,480 --> 00:27:50,000
Virginia House of Delegates. So we'll see if that has

458
00:27:50,119 --> 00:27:56,359
people actually concerned about this guy's mental behavior. But here

459
00:27:56,359 --> 00:28:01,640
in New York, the mayor's race is it's a it's

460
00:28:01,680 --> 00:28:05,319
a big city, and you're telling me that these are

461
00:28:05,400 --> 00:28:08,559
our choices. Are there's more than three the three are

462
00:28:08,599 --> 00:28:11,720
getting their publicity. There's I don't know, eight or nine

463
00:28:11,759 --> 00:28:14,559
of them on the ballot, a bunch of you know,

464
00:28:14,759 --> 00:28:17,559
nobody knows who they are, and they really aren't campaigning

465
00:28:17,640 --> 00:28:19,759
or anything else. But let me tell you what the

466
00:28:19,759 --> 00:28:22,759
New York City ballot looks like. There's a there's a

467
00:28:22,839 --> 00:28:26,160
line the first there's two lines of all these various names.

468
00:28:26,680 --> 00:28:30,960
The first line is Mamdani is the first name on

469
00:28:31,039 --> 00:28:34,720
the first line, and then there's a couple of other names,

470
00:28:35,519 --> 00:28:38,079
and then he's also running on some other that you

471
00:28:38,119 --> 00:28:40,799
can have different parties that nominate him, so he's on

472
00:28:41,400 --> 00:28:46,240
two different places on the first line. When voters are

473
00:28:46,279 --> 00:28:49,440
looking to who they're going to vote for, there's no

474
00:28:49,559 --> 00:28:52,920
Cuomo on the first line. You've got to go down

475
00:28:53,160 --> 00:28:56,920
to the second line and go in about eight spaces

476
00:28:57,480 --> 00:29:01,279
and there's Cuomo. So he's just the positioning on the

477
00:29:01,319 --> 00:29:04,680
ballot's going to make it more of an uphill battle.

478
00:29:05,440 --> 00:29:09,799
But there's a difference. The people are arguing about if

479
00:29:09,839 --> 00:29:14,240
Mom Donnie, who's way ahead in the polls, wins, isn't

480
00:29:14,240 --> 00:29:17,960
that going to be terrible for Democrats? I don't know.

481
00:29:18,240 --> 00:29:21,480
Depends upon what he does. Is it going to be

482
00:29:22,559 --> 00:29:25,519
Mark Theeson talks about this is going to be if

483
00:29:25,519 --> 00:29:28,279
he gets elected. There's a lot of young people who

484
00:29:28,319 --> 00:29:31,960
don't have any idea about what socialism is or how

485
00:29:32,039 --> 00:29:35,960
it works. They just like what he's saying about affordability,

486
00:29:36,039 --> 00:29:38,359
and he's going to do all this free stuff and

487
00:29:38,400 --> 00:29:42,680
that it will be a good lesson, real, real time,

488
00:29:42,799 --> 00:29:47,160
costly lesson to show young people what socialism is all about.

489
00:29:47,160 --> 00:29:51,319
Here's Mark Theeson and David Asman from Fox Business.

490
00:29:51,400 --> 00:29:54,680
Speaker 9: I think he's doing his best to sort of unlike

491
00:29:54,720 --> 00:29:57,279
the mayor eal candidate in Minneapolis who's leaning into his

492
00:29:57,359 --> 00:30:00,039
sort of radicalism. He's trying to portray himself as being

493
00:30:00,079 --> 00:30:02,680
a lot more moderate. But when he gets elected, as

494
00:30:03,000 --> 00:30:05,599
Trump says he's a communist, he's not a socialist. I

495
00:30:05,640 --> 00:30:08,279
mean he said, we want to seize the means of

496
00:30:08,279 --> 00:30:11,000
production from each according to his ability, to each according

497
00:30:11,000 --> 00:30:13,799
to his need. That is literally from Karl Marx. Those

498
00:30:13,799 --> 00:30:16,559
are words that Joseph Stalin had written into the nineteen

499
00:30:16,640 --> 00:30:20,240
thirty six Soviet Constitution. And our mayoral candidate in New

500
00:30:20,319 --> 00:30:23,359
York the center of global capitalism is actually.

501
00:30:23,079 --> 00:30:27,119
Speaker 10: And he talks about decommodifying housing, which means take the

502
00:30:27,279 --> 00:30:29,880
asset away from private hands and put it in the

503
00:30:29,880 --> 00:30:32,400
hands of the government. That also has Marxist.

504
00:30:32,079 --> 00:30:36,359
Speaker 9: I think there's a young generation now who did not

505
00:30:36,559 --> 00:30:40,359
live the lived the Cold War, don't remember socialism, and

506
00:30:40,440 --> 00:30:42,400
so they're going to have to get a lesson in

507
00:30:42,480 --> 00:30:44,839
what socialism looks like here in the city of New York.

508
00:30:45,000 --> 00:30:47,559
And I think that Mamdani is going to deliver that lesson.

509
00:30:47,880 --> 00:30:50,119
One of the reasons why his victory is a silver

510
00:30:50,200 --> 00:30:54,640
lining for democratic capitalists around the world is he's going

511
00:30:54,640 --> 00:30:56,880
to give the world a lesson in socialism. And it's

512
00:30:56,920 --> 00:30:58,720
also going to help the Republican Party a lot.

513
00:30:59,160 --> 00:31:01,920
Speaker 10: They didn't They certainly didn't get it in the schools.

514
00:31:01,960 --> 00:31:05,039
We know that, by the way, New York City spends

515
00:31:05,079 --> 00:31:09,200
thirty nine thousand dollars per student educating kids, and they

516
00:31:09,200 --> 00:31:11,680
don't know a damn thing about socialism or the history

517
00:31:11,680 --> 00:31:14,000
of it in the world, let alone in the United States.

518
00:31:14,079 --> 00:31:16,920
Speaker 1: Well put it mildly, there's a lot of people that

519
00:31:17,000 --> 00:31:21,640
are freaking out over the fact that man Donnie is

520
00:31:21,680 --> 00:31:24,480
ahead in the polls and maybe the next mayor of

521
00:31:24,599 --> 00:31:27,200
New York City. But there's a couple there's a movement

522
00:31:27,640 --> 00:31:32,039
in the Democrat Party that is moving toward socialism. The

523
00:31:33,039 --> 00:31:38,599
mayor oral candidate in Minneapolis is a big socialist. He's

524
00:31:38,640 --> 00:31:44,200
a proud socialist. And also in Seattle, where both Seattle

525
00:31:44,240 --> 00:31:50,839
and Minneapolis have Democrat mayors. They're lefties, they act like democrats,

526
00:31:50,880 --> 00:31:54,160
they believe in a lot of what democrats like to do,

527
00:31:54,359 --> 00:31:59,160
tax and spend. But these are people two socialists that

528
00:31:59,200 --> 00:32:02,279
are running against it because they're not far enough left.

529
00:32:02,799 --> 00:32:06,799
So watch not only Virginia and New Jersey in New

530
00:32:06,880 --> 00:32:10,279
York City in California with their Proposition fifty, but also

531
00:32:10,440 --> 00:32:16,000
Seattle and Minneapolis to see how the people really react

532
00:32:16,200 --> 00:32:19,799
to all of these socialist candidates. So on this election day, Tay,

533
00:32:19,839 --> 00:32:23,200
let's take a look at Wall Street because it wasn't pretty.

534
00:32:23,640 --> 00:32:26,079
There were a number of reports out. First of all,

535
00:32:26,559 --> 00:32:31,279
you see the ads for Indeed, the place where you

536
00:32:31,319 --> 00:32:33,319
know for jobs that you can sign up as an

537
00:32:33,319 --> 00:32:36,920
employer and put out jobs that you need to hire people,

538
00:32:37,440 --> 00:32:40,440
and they always say, oh yes I do Indeed. And well,

539
00:32:40,759 --> 00:32:45,240
since they don't have government job data, Indeed came out

540
00:32:45,319 --> 00:32:49,319
with a measure today that says that in October job

541
00:32:49,359 --> 00:32:53,559
opening slump to the lowest level since February of two

542
00:32:53,599 --> 00:32:59,920
thy twenty one. So that's not well received. Plus there's

543
00:32:59,920 --> 00:33:02,680
a lot of people on Wall Street that are thinking, hey,

544
00:33:02,680 --> 00:33:09,319
maybe all this increase in AI stocks, maybe the valuations

545
00:33:09,359 --> 00:33:12,680
are just a little too rich. So the stock market

546
00:33:12,720 --> 00:33:18,759
today went south. Dow Jones Industrials down two hundred and

547
00:33:18,960 --> 00:33:23,279
fifty one points closed at forty seven thousand and eighty five,

548
00:33:23,880 --> 00:33:28,359
SMB down eighty NASDACK down over two percent, down four

549
00:33:28,519 --> 00:33:31,680
hundred and eighty six points. That's where most of the

550
00:33:31,720 --> 00:33:35,279
AI stocks hang out. Price of gold sank as well.

551
00:33:35,319 --> 00:33:39,720
It was down seventy two dollars to thirty nine forty one,

552
00:33:40,480 --> 00:33:44,079
and oil went down almost a dollar to sixty dollars

553
00:33:44,119 --> 00:33:48,519
for one barrel of oil. So that's it for today.

554
00:33:48,680 --> 00:33:51,759
We'll go over all the results tomorrow. Thank you for

555
00:33:51,799 --> 00:34:02,559
coming by, hope to see you then, dont n p
