WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.520 --> 00:00:01.560 It's nice Eyes. 2 00:00:04.240 --> 00:00:06.000 Boston's news Radio. 3 00:00:07.040 --> 00:00:11.800 Now. One of the disadvantages of doing a talk program 4 00:00:11.919 --> 00:00:15.199 from eight to midnight is that it's difficult to watch 5 00:00:15.839 --> 00:00:19.960 what's going on on television during my program that I'm 6 00:00:19.960 --> 00:00:25.079 doing from a to midnight. And tonight the first interview 7 00:00:26.519 --> 00:00:32.479 in thirty five days. We are well one third of 8 00:00:32.520 --> 00:00:40.359 the way to November fifth, from the time that Joe 9 00:00:40.359 --> 00:00:47.240 Biden dropped out as the Democratic nominee. So tonight, finally 10 00:00:48.320 --> 00:00:52.000 there was a so called interview on CNN. Now, I 11 00:00:52.039 --> 00:00:54.719 have not watched the entire interview, so I need to 12 00:00:54.759 --> 00:00:57.799 rely upon my listeners a little bit. I will tell 13 00:00:57.840 --> 00:00:59.799 you that during the news breaks, I was able to 14 00:01:00.119 --> 00:01:04.400 been about a little bit of the interview. I'm also 15 00:01:04.560 --> 00:01:06.920 reading and have been able to read some of the 16 00:01:06.959 --> 00:01:12.040 reports of what happened during the interview. I'm looking at 17 00:01:13.680 --> 00:01:20.879 the Washington Post, I'm also looking at USA today, and 18 00:01:21.519 --> 00:01:25.840 I'm relying upon all of you. If you watch the interview, 19 00:01:26.719 --> 00:01:29.480 love to hear from you. Was it a tough interview? 20 00:01:30.560 --> 00:01:33.959 What I saw, it wasn't very tough. Okay, it was 21 00:01:34.040 --> 00:01:38.000 like little softball questions from Dana Bash. But that's we'll see. 22 00:01:39.519 --> 00:01:43.480 If I missed them tough, tough questions, Let's bring it on. 23 00:01:44.079 --> 00:01:47.280 But my question was what question. I mean, in the 24 00:01:47.400 --> 00:01:54.920 unlikely event that Vice President Harris and governor the governor 25 00:01:54.920 --> 00:01:59.840 of Minnesota would be willing to sit down and give 26 00:01:59.879 --> 00:02:02.640 you the opportunity to ask them questions, I mean not 27 00:02:02.719 --> 00:02:07.000 so much. Governor Walts. I mean, he's the vice presidential candidate. 28 00:02:08.960 --> 00:02:13.800 He gets sort of a free ride. But the courage 29 00:02:13.879 --> 00:02:18.159 vice president Vice President Harris has always been the last 30 00:02:18.159 --> 00:02:21.479 person in the room with Joe Biden, and it seems 31 00:02:21.479 --> 00:02:24.520 as if she's changed some of her positions, kind of 32 00:02:24.639 --> 00:02:28.000 some of her important positions. So if you watch the interview, 33 00:02:28.199 --> 00:02:31.960 was it tough? Was it hard hitting? If you want 34 00:02:32.000 --> 00:02:39.120 to give me your reporter, I appreciate it. The interview, 35 00:02:40.280 --> 00:02:44.319 the question and answer portion of the CNN interview, which 36 00:02:44.400 --> 00:02:48.439 I think was on for an hour. According to national 37 00:02:48.479 --> 00:02:52.879 political reporter of the Washington Post, May Reston, I wonder 38 00:02:52.919 --> 00:02:56.919 if she's a descendant of Scottie Reston of the New 39 00:02:57.039 --> 00:02:59.560 York Times. The question and answer portion of the Harris 40 00:02:59.639 --> 00:03:02.439 Walls see in an interview clocked in at just over 41 00:03:02.479 --> 00:03:08.199 twenty seven minutes, not including any of the introductory remarks 42 00:03:08.560 --> 00:03:13.360 from Dana Bash during the interview. I guess President Trump 43 00:03:13.400 --> 00:03:17.520 posted on truth sanchal as you would expect boring. And 44 00:03:17.560 --> 00:03:19.800 then one of the tough questions that were asked by 45 00:03:19.879 --> 00:03:26.680 Dana Bash may rest in reports is though Harris said 46 00:03:26.680 --> 00:03:29.560 she's the best person to do this job at this 47 00:03:29.759 --> 00:03:33.719 moment for all Americans, regardless of race and gender. She 48 00:03:33.840 --> 00:03:36.439 did say she had an emotional response to a photograph 49 00:03:36.520 --> 00:03:39.759 of one of her grand nieces watching her speech from 50 00:03:39.759 --> 00:03:43.439 the convention for the photograph was shot me from behind, 51 00:03:43.599 --> 00:03:48.000 highlighting the youth, race, and gender of her grand niece 52 00:03:48.039 --> 00:03:51.759 as she watched Harris, potentially making history as she delivered 53 00:03:51.800 --> 00:03:55.960 the speech accepting the Democratic nomination. Harris is quoted as saying, 54 00:03:56.240 --> 00:03:59.039 I did see that photograph and I was deeply touched 55 00:03:59.080 --> 00:04:02.439 by it. It's the back of her head, her two 56 00:04:02.520 --> 00:04:05.840 little braids, and then I'm in the forefront, in the 57 00:04:05.840 --> 00:04:09.479 front of the photograph, obviously speaking, and it's very humbling. 58 00:04:09.560 --> 00:04:14.080 It's very humbling in many ways. A tough question from 59 00:04:14.159 --> 00:04:20.199 Dana Bash. According to Joey Garrison, who is a reporter 60 00:04:20.639 --> 00:04:28.800 for USA Today, he doesn't say what he is, whether 61 00:04:28.839 --> 00:04:31.120 he's but he's a reporter for USA Today. Said, Vice 62 00:04:31.160 --> 00:04:35.839 President Kamala Harris defended her evolving positions. By the way, 63 00:04:36.000 --> 00:04:38.720 these are no longer referred to as flip flops as 64 00:04:38.800 --> 00:04:44.360 they were for Mitt Romney back in twenty twelve. The 65 00:04:44.399 --> 00:04:49.680 headline says, Kamala Harris. Kamala Harris addresses flip flopping takes 66 00:04:49.680 --> 00:04:53.519 on Trump in seeing an interview with Walls. Well, the 67 00:04:53.560 --> 00:04:57.079 CN interview really wasn't with Walls. The CNN interview was 68 00:04:57.120 --> 00:05:02.279 with Dana Bash of CNN. But that's okay. So Vice 69 00:05:02.319 --> 00:05:08.079 President Kamala Harris defended her evolving positions. That's a word. See, 70 00:05:08.079 --> 00:05:11.839 semantics are very important in America these days. It is 71 00:05:11.920 --> 00:05:16.120 not a flip flop. If it is if it is 72 00:05:16.199 --> 00:05:20.800 done by a democratic nominee, it is an evolving position. 73 00:05:21.319 --> 00:05:24.600 An evolving position is something that people have thought long 74 00:05:24.720 --> 00:05:30.240 and hard about and they have decided to basically polish 75 00:05:30.399 --> 00:05:34.519 up the position. It's evolving. It's something that is evolving. 76 00:05:34.600 --> 00:05:38.839 You evolve into something greater, you never evolve into something less. 77 00:05:38.839 --> 00:05:42.279 But it defended her evolving positions, not her flip flops 78 00:05:42.560 --> 00:05:45.759 on Board of Security and Climate Policy on Thursday, while 79 00:05:45.800 --> 00:05:49.560 promising to appoint a Republican to her cabinet. I did 80 00:05:49.600 --> 00:05:52.879 not realize Liz Cheney might be available for the Democratic candidate, 81 00:05:52.920 --> 00:05:55.959 but either she or Adam Kinsinger, I'm sure would be 82 00:05:56.160 --> 00:06:00.680 more than happy to step up and accept that, promising 83 00:06:00.720 --> 00:06:03.240 to a point a Republican to her cabinet. During her 84 00:06:03.240 --> 00:06:06.639 first sit down interview since becoming the Democratics, the Democrats 85 00:06:06.680 --> 00:06:10.000 twenty twenty four presidential candidate, I referred to that as 86 00:06:10.040 --> 00:06:14.879 the immaculate nomination. It's miraculous when you think about it. 87 00:06:15.319 --> 00:06:19.000 Never campaigned for the position, never secured a single vote, 88 00:06:19.560 --> 00:06:22.000 never had a campaign head quarters anywhere. I don't think 89 00:06:22.040 --> 00:06:25.720 there was ever a Harris for President bumper strip printed before, 90 00:06:25.920 --> 00:06:29.040 which then wouldn't have been. But it worked out that 91 00:06:29.120 --> 00:06:33.800 Joe Biden basically threw up on his shoes when he 92 00:06:33.839 --> 00:06:36.560 had his debate with Donald trumpet late June, and the 93 00:06:36.600 --> 00:06:40.319 Democrats concluded at this point, oh, this dog won't hunt, 94 00:06:40.439 --> 00:06:44.199 this horse won't ride, And then there was a pressure 95 00:06:44.279 --> 00:06:47.920 for the president, the current president, Joe Biden stepped down, 96 00:06:48.000 --> 00:06:52.560 and of course the beneficiary of that would be the 97 00:06:52.639 --> 00:06:56.199 vice president, Vice President Harris. The interview was seeing an 98 00:06:56.240 --> 00:06:58.720 anchored this is now coding and Joey Garrison of USA today, 99 00:06:58.720 --> 00:07:00.680 I would see in an anchored Dana Bush was recorded 100 00:07:00.720 --> 00:07:04.480 in the afternoon, So this was not a live interview. Okay, 101 00:07:04.560 --> 00:07:06.959 that's what I just learned there. Because it's not a 102 00:07:07.000 --> 00:07:12.879 live interview edits can be done. And I don't think 103 00:07:12.920 --> 00:07:16.800 that the Democratic Party is concerned that CNN would edit 104 00:07:17.199 --> 00:07:20.040 anything out of context. But if there was a flub, 105 00:07:21.199 --> 00:07:24.199 it gave them the opportunity to edit it. So it 106 00:07:24.279 --> 00:07:27.920 was not a live interview. Was recorded in the afternoon 107 00:07:28.000 --> 00:07:31.959 during a campaign stop in Savannah, Georgia, amid sustained criticism. 108 00:07:32.639 --> 00:07:37.800 It's not just criticism, but it's sustained criticism from Republican 109 00:07:37.879 --> 00:07:41.959 rival Donald Trump's campaign over Harris waiting nearly five weeks 110 00:07:41.959 --> 00:07:47.439 to take formal interview questions from a reporter. I'm sure 111 00:07:47.439 --> 00:07:50.680 they were tough questions. That longwait made for higher stakes 112 00:07:50.680 --> 00:07:54.160 than a typical candidate's conversation with a prominent journalist, particularly 113 00:07:54.199 --> 00:07:56.800 with election day now sixty seven days away. Oh, this 114 00:07:56.839 --> 00:07:59.839 is a countdown. Harris, who was surged in the polls 115 00:08:00.199 --> 00:08:03.240 entering the twenty twenty four White House race, still has 116 00:08:03.279 --> 00:08:06.120 not held the press conference since she took the torch 117 00:08:06.199 --> 00:08:10.160 as the Democratic nominee after President Joe Biden dropped out 118 00:08:10.160 --> 00:08:13.560 of the race on July twenty first. Yep, Joe Biden 119 00:08:13.680 --> 00:08:16.800 just decided I'm done. I've had it. He dropped out. 120 00:08:17.079 --> 00:08:20.879 He was not pushed out. There was no coupe here. 121 00:08:21.439 --> 00:08:26.680 This was just sort of a natural evolution, like Kamala 122 00:08:26.720 --> 00:08:32.879 Harris's evolving positions. Democratic vice presidential nominee Tim Waltz joined 123 00:08:32.879 --> 00:08:35.879 Harris for the interview, a move that it attracted more 124 00:08:35.919 --> 00:08:39.679 scrutiny from Republicans. Although a joint interview with a running 125 00:08:39.679 --> 00:08:44.639 made follows precedent, Republicans critics argued that her first interview 126 00:08:44.679 --> 00:08:49.159 as a candidate should have been solo. Those darn Republicans, darn, darn, 127 00:08:49.200 --> 00:08:53.519 darned Republicans. Okay, if you watch the interview, if you 128 00:08:53.600 --> 00:08:56.840 have anything to comment about the interview, love to hear 129 00:08:56.840 --> 00:09:01.120 from you. Six seven thirty So what I watched It 130 00:09:01.200 --> 00:09:03.720 seemed to be a softball question. Now again, I can 131 00:09:03.759 --> 00:09:05.879 only watch during the break, so I may have seen 132 00:09:05.919 --> 00:09:09.519 it out of context. I give you that possibility. We'll 133 00:09:09.519 --> 00:09:12.440 get to some of the issues that she dealt with, 134 00:09:12.559 --> 00:09:16.759 and we will take a break. Six one, seven, two, five, four, 135 00:09:16.919 --> 00:09:22.879 ten thirty six nine three one ten thirty. This presidential 136 00:09:22.919 --> 00:09:28.360 campaign is going by day after day. Pretty soon it's 137 00:09:28.399 --> 00:09:29.960 going to be time to vote. Well it, we'll be 138 00:09:30.000 --> 00:09:32.919 time to early vote even sooner than that. So at 139 00:09:32.919 --> 00:09:40.799 this point, obviously the afterglow of the Democratic National Convention continues. 140 00:09:41.679 --> 00:09:44.279 Certainly in the CNN interview tonight, I don't think there 141 00:09:44.360 --> 00:09:46.559 was a tough question asked if you want to contradict 142 00:09:46.559 --> 00:09:48.919 me on that, and you saw a tough question. Loved 143 00:09:48.960 --> 00:09:50.840 the chat about it back on Night'side after this. 144 00:09:51.600 --> 00:09:54.759 Now back to Dan Ray live from the Window World 145 00:09:54.879 --> 00:09:58.039 night Side Studios on WBZ News Radio. 146 00:09:59.080 --> 00:10:00.919 All right, let's go to the phone calls. Let's see 147 00:10:00.960 --> 00:10:04.039 what Dot in Medford says. She's a pretty good observer 148 00:10:04.759 --> 00:10:08.360 of politics, DoD Did you get a chance to watch 149 00:10:08.399 --> 00:10:09.000 the interview? 150 00:10:09.600 --> 00:10:12.559 I did, Dan, I had it on kind of mute 151 00:10:12.720 --> 00:10:15.240 until they did the talking and then I put it up. 152 00:10:15.759 --> 00:10:22.279 But evolution is a wonderful thing, Yes, wonderful. She isn't 153 00:10:22.279 --> 00:10:27.399 involved on every single point, I mean, fracking even you 154 00:10:27.440 --> 00:10:32.519 know everything. She's all for everything that she was always against. 155 00:10:33.159 --> 00:10:38.279 And it was a very frivolous interview. Dana Bash was 156 00:10:38.440 --> 00:10:41.519 just kind of skirting the issues. And if she asked 157 00:10:41.519 --> 00:10:45.559 a question, especially of him. Uh, he just ignored the 158 00:10:45.639 --> 00:10:49.320 question and went on to Tutor's horn. And that's all. 159 00:10:49.360 --> 00:10:53.120 It was about tooting their hands. It was really boring. 160 00:10:53.519 --> 00:10:56.519 So was there a tough question that at any point that. 161 00:10:57.000 --> 00:11:01.200 I didn't see any tough question. No. No, she was 162 00:11:01.320 --> 00:11:04.559 just kissing up to them with her smile. You know, 163 00:11:04.799 --> 00:11:08.559 I mean, so obvious they're in the pocket. 164 00:11:08.759 --> 00:11:10.639 I mean, well, I think I think that there was 165 00:11:10.679 --> 00:11:13.240 one question which was asked, and there was a very 166 00:11:13.279 --> 00:11:17.960 long answer that I watched, was how did President Biden 167 00:11:19.039 --> 00:11:20.360 tell you that he was Oh? 168 00:11:20.399 --> 00:11:23.600 Yeah, I know. It was on a Sunday and her 169 00:11:23.799 --> 00:11:25.399 family was the I. 170 00:11:25.279 --> 00:11:28.679 Think they were having Were they having big breakfast? 171 00:11:29.159 --> 00:11:30.720 They were they and they. 172 00:11:30.559 --> 00:11:32.799 Were doing I think they were doing puzzles, if I'm 173 00:11:32.840 --> 00:11:33.360 not mistaken. 174 00:11:33.399 --> 00:11:36.000 Oh they did, they did, and then the kids wanted 175 00:11:36.039 --> 00:11:39.279 more bacon, so she she got the piano and she 176 00:11:39.360 --> 00:11:40.279 cooked more bacon. 177 00:11:40.519 --> 00:11:41.559 Yeah, what a what of? 178 00:11:43.559 --> 00:11:44.639 I mean, really, you. 179 00:11:44.600 --> 00:11:49.519 Don't believe that that really happened. Such a cynic. God, 180 00:11:49.720 --> 00:11:51.000 I can't believe it. 181 00:11:53.200 --> 00:11:55.320 I know it. It's just a joke. 182 00:11:55.519 --> 00:11:58.080 So did they say what sort of puzzles were they doing? 183 00:11:58.120 --> 00:11:58.840 What were they doing? 184 00:11:59.200 --> 00:12:01.080 Just mentioned no no. 185 00:12:01.679 --> 00:12:03.960 I wish that she that Dana had pressed her on 186 00:12:04.000 --> 00:12:06.679 the details, because on a Sunday it could have been 187 00:12:06.679 --> 00:12:09.639 a crossword puzzle, or maybe they were doing a puzzle 188 00:12:09.720 --> 00:12:12.120 of the map of the United States and with the 189 00:12:12.240 --> 00:12:15.559 children finding all the different states and where they're located. 190 00:12:15.639 --> 00:12:19.399 That's I mean, all these grand nieces, they're all coming 191 00:12:19.399 --> 00:12:22.720 out of the woodwork, these cute little kids, and they 192 00:12:22.879 --> 00:12:25.960 just serve in ar of their irante. Oh my god. 193 00:12:26.279 --> 00:12:30.799 Oh it's just it's just sickening, sicking. Well, but anyway, 194 00:12:30.840 --> 00:12:33.399 that's my impression, dear well. 195 00:12:33.720 --> 00:12:36.879 As always, you don't hold back, and that's what I 196 00:12:37.000 --> 00:12:40.200 like you. You're a good critic. I thought i'd be 197 00:12:40.240 --> 00:12:42.600 honest with it when I was listening, and what happened 198 00:12:42.639 --> 00:12:44.240 is during the break, I can flip the TV on, 199 00:12:44.360 --> 00:12:47.000 bring the audio up, and I thought to myself, we're 200 00:12:47.080 --> 00:12:50.919 talking about pancakes on Sunday morning, and I think of 201 00:12:50.960 --> 00:12:53.960 the context, and we thought about that was the morning 202 00:12:54.000 --> 00:12:56.759 that President Biden called to tell her that he was 203 00:12:56.799 --> 00:12:59.919 going not to run, and her first question was, but 204 00:13:00.480 --> 00:13:01.320 are you sure? 205 00:13:01.919 --> 00:13:02.519 Are you sure? 206 00:13:02.799 --> 00:13:07.080 And did he also mention I got the boot? Nancy 207 00:13:07.159 --> 00:13:09.480 Pelosi et cetera they're all on my back. 208 00:13:09.679 --> 00:13:12.919 No, it was his decision. It was his decision. There 209 00:13:13.000 --> 00:13:17.759 was no effort to force it, Lovely, it was a 210 00:13:17.879 --> 00:13:21.639 spontaneous decision that he woke up. He had said that 211 00:13:21.960 --> 00:13:26.279 under no circumstances would he leave unless unless God told him, 212 00:13:26.320 --> 00:13:28.200 Almighty God, don't just what No. 213 00:13:28.759 --> 00:13:31.279 Of any God. There was no mention of any God. 214 00:13:31.799 --> 00:13:36.240 All they talked about was evolution and pancakes. Yeah, yeah, 215 00:13:36.279 --> 00:13:37.519 and pet cakes and bacon. 216 00:13:37.919 --> 00:13:40.919 Yeah. Did she say in the interview did Dana did 217 00:13:41.039 --> 00:13:45.120 Dana presser at all on were they blueberry pancakes? Or 218 00:13:45.120 --> 00:13:45.440 were they? 219 00:13:47.080 --> 00:13:50.919 I think even Dana was a little amused. 220 00:13:50.440 --> 00:13:51.320 By the whole thing. 221 00:13:51.559 --> 00:13:53.919 What I'm saying is that that would have been that 222 00:13:54.080 --> 00:13:57.080 probably would have been the toughest question. You know, she 223 00:13:57.120 --> 00:14:01.000 could have phrased it this way, Madame Vice President. I 224 00:14:01.080 --> 00:14:03.960 know that you had a busy few weeks, but do 225 00:14:04.240 --> 00:14:07.759 I know the American people are concerned and are wondering 226 00:14:08.159 --> 00:14:11.320 what sort of pancakes did you serve that day? Were 227 00:14:11.360 --> 00:14:14.639 they chocolate chips or were they blueberry pancakes? 228 00:14:14.679 --> 00:14:17.039 I think everybody, I think everybody wants to. 229 00:14:16.960 --> 00:14:22.159 Know, yes, exactly. Thought it's a pressing question that that 230 00:14:22.360 --> 00:14:26.399 Dana started to drill down on and yet she didn't 231 00:14:26.480 --> 00:14:27.960 have the follow up question. 232 00:14:28.240 --> 00:14:31.159 You know, it was about the most serious thing that 233 00:14:31.320 --> 00:14:32.240 was discussed. 234 00:14:32.440 --> 00:14:33.080 Pancakes. 235 00:14:33.080 --> 00:14:35.960 Okay, banks, breakfast, Yeah, okay, Dan. 236 00:14:37.440 --> 00:14:40.200 All right, good nuys Okay, pancakes. Well, that's good to 237 00:14:40.240 --> 00:14:43.240 know that on a Saturday, on a Sunday morning, pancakes. 238 00:14:43.320 --> 00:14:47.080 I wonder if she'd gone to church that morning. I 239 00:14:47.120 --> 00:14:49.960 hope that Dana asked that question, or if they at 240 00:14:50.039 --> 00:14:53.519 least had prayed Ken in Florida. Ken. It sounds to 241 00:14:53.559 --> 00:14:56.039 me like Dana really put her feet to the fire tonight. 242 00:14:57.279 --> 00:15:00.879 Oh Dan, you know what, it's past my bedtime. I 243 00:15:01.519 --> 00:15:04.279 didn't think i'd call you toime. I you tell me 244 00:15:05.320 --> 00:15:10.799 stop watching Fox News and watch now CNN. The other perspective, 245 00:15:11.480 --> 00:15:15.279 I'm going to tell you a DVR itt and uh, 246 00:15:15.879 --> 00:15:19.080 I wasn't getting ready for bed. I feel nauseous, and 247 00:15:19.799 --> 00:15:23.120 it was Can I make a suggestion? It was pathetic. 248 00:15:23.360 --> 00:15:26.759 Can I make a suggestion, if you feel nauseous, put 249 00:15:26.799 --> 00:15:29.720 some pancakes. Make some pancakes. 250 00:15:29.080 --> 00:15:34.320 Oh yes, Yes, the big question at night was pancakes. 251 00:15:34.360 --> 00:15:37.440 You know, Dan, I'm gonna make a confession. I love 252 00:15:37.519 --> 00:15:41.480 blueberry pancakes and I will put extra butter until my 253 00:15:41.519 --> 00:15:46.360 new diet starts on Monday Sunday. And it was you 254 00:15:46.440 --> 00:15:49.639 tell me, Ken, you know, don't just watch you know 255 00:15:49.799 --> 00:15:54.480 Fox News. I had trouble finding CNN, but I did 256 00:15:54.559 --> 00:15:55.200 DVR it. 257 00:15:55.679 --> 00:15:58.919 Well, remember you're in Florida, so I can understand that. No. 258 00:15:59.120 --> 00:16:02.360 The reason I think it's important for everyone to watch 259 00:16:02.440 --> 00:16:06.000 both Fox and the CNN, and to watch CNN is 260 00:16:06.039 --> 00:16:09.919 to see how the stories are treated differently. Now, Dana 261 00:16:09.960 --> 00:16:15.799 Bash apparently tonight subjected the Vice president to a withering interview. 262 00:16:17.639 --> 00:16:25.799 Oh it was it was what's the term? It was intensive? 263 00:16:26.320 --> 00:16:30.559 You know, uh, you know, you know what struck me. 264 00:16:31.080 --> 00:16:35.919 She actually was apologetic when she was asking the questions. 265 00:16:36.240 --> 00:16:39.720 She she shrunk and said, I'm sorry to ask this question, 266 00:16:39.919 --> 00:16:42.200 but you know what. 267 00:16:42.320 --> 00:16:45.720 Well, that's she didn't have the courage to say, Madame 268 00:16:46.240 --> 00:16:49.840 Vice President, I apologize in asking you, but can you 269 00:16:49.879 --> 00:16:55.399 share with us the American people whether or not on 270 00:16:55.440 --> 00:16:59.200 those pancakes they were blueberries or chocolate chips. 271 00:16:59.240 --> 00:17:03.639 Yeah, nailed it. I mean we're making we're making jokes 272 00:17:03.639 --> 00:17:08.039 of it, but Dan, on serious issues. It was exactly 273 00:17:08.119 --> 00:17:11.599 that tone. And you'll watch it. You know tonight after midnight, 274 00:17:12.079 --> 00:17:14.079 it was pathetic. 275 00:17:14.279 --> 00:17:18.599 Will it help me go to sleep? Can? That's my question? No? 276 00:17:18.599 --> 00:17:18.759 No? 277 00:17:18.759 --> 00:17:21.920 No? Uh me? 278 00:17:22.839 --> 00:17:25.920 When I finished generally, when I finished my program, I'm 279 00:17:25.960 --> 00:17:29.160 a little psyched up, you know, because the the program 280 00:17:29.240 --> 00:17:33.359 is over and the adrenaline is still flowing, and I 281 00:17:33.519 --> 00:17:36.039 just sometimes need something to kind. 282 00:17:35.880 --> 00:17:38.200 Of do you like to be amused before you go 283 00:17:38.240 --> 00:17:38.680 to sleep? 284 00:17:42.000 --> 00:17:42.519 Mildly? 285 00:17:42.759 --> 00:17:46.680 Mildly, I'll admit I was. I was tipping a little 286 00:17:46.680 --> 00:17:50.720 bit of Jamison before my four month hiatus from that. 287 00:17:51.160 --> 00:17:54.559 Well, that's that's for medicinal purposes. I understand that you 288 00:17:54.599 --> 00:17:55.359 need not have to. 289 00:17:56.839 --> 00:17:59.359 It was awful, you know, you know, it's even worse. 290 00:18:00.079 --> 00:18:03.000 They did the CNN panel after all. 291 00:18:03.000 --> 00:18:05.359 Oh, I saw the panel. They looked very pleased with 292 00:18:05.400 --> 00:18:05.920 how it went. 293 00:18:06.359 --> 00:18:10.240 Oh, they were all thrilled. They were thrilled. She can 294 00:18:10.599 --> 00:18:13.920 because Kamala can do no wrong. You know, she cannot 295 00:18:14.039 --> 00:18:19.119 answer the real hard questions and I can now wait 296 00:18:19.279 --> 00:18:23.720 and again, we've gone over this. I won't talk much longer. 297 00:18:23.720 --> 00:18:27.240 We've gone over this many many times. Donald Trump is 298 00:18:27.240 --> 00:18:30.279 a jerk. I don't like the man. I like his 299 00:18:30.440 --> 00:18:37.039 policies and his leadership. She cannot lead our country. It's very, 300 00:18:37.519 --> 00:18:42.240 very obvious to see that. Listen to her talk. She 301 00:18:42.319 --> 00:18:45.400 had to have her vice president to what did somebody 302 00:18:45.440 --> 00:18:50.440 call it her vice friend? Support person or support or. 303 00:18:52.200 --> 00:18:54.920 Comfort a comfort blanket? Right? 304 00:18:55.000 --> 00:19:01.480 Comfort person? Can she cannot lead our country? And I 305 00:19:01.519 --> 00:19:04.880 think I'm gonna say I'll close with this because I 306 00:19:04.920 --> 00:19:06.799 want to go to that and you're done talking to me. 307 00:19:07.559 --> 00:19:12.279 I think that Trump, like you did in twenty sixteen 308 00:19:12.319 --> 00:19:19.640 with Hillary his polls. People don't eat polls under whatever. 309 00:19:18.960 --> 00:19:21.599 They're undervalue, underestimate. 310 00:19:22.440 --> 00:19:27.559 So Dan, I just it was horrible and gee, she 311 00:19:27.680 --> 00:19:30.079 did it. She did it, She. 312 00:19:30.200 --> 00:19:36.279 Did her She subjected herself to scrutiny. 313 00:19:36.039 --> 00:19:39.200 To you know, and tough. You know, Dan, we all 314 00:19:39.200 --> 00:19:44.240 struggle with those tough breakfast questions. I I love eggs 315 00:19:44.240 --> 00:19:47.279 over reads, do with you know, cornbef hash, you know. 316 00:19:47.720 --> 00:19:49.519 But if you want to question me to our home 317 00:19:49.559 --> 00:19:52.759 fries or we toast, you know, then we get into 318 00:19:52.799 --> 00:19:56.119 a totally different, you know, topic when. 319 00:19:55.960 --> 00:19:58.960 You're talking about when you're talking with the vice president 320 00:19:59.000 --> 00:20:03.200 of the United States, important issues facing the world. Obviously, 321 00:20:03.920 --> 00:20:06.200 I don't know if there was any question about Ukraine 322 00:20:06.400 --> 00:20:08.960 or the Middle East foreign. 323 00:20:09.880 --> 00:20:12.400 There's no foreign policy questions. 324 00:20:12.519 --> 00:20:16.160 Okay, well, that's that's that's good. That way she would 325 00:20:16.200 --> 00:20:20.079 not make a mistake. That's that's I think important. However, 326 00:20:20.680 --> 00:20:24.000 for Dana Bash not to drill down to find out 327 00:20:24.319 --> 00:20:27.279 what type of pancakes, I can't believe that on a 328 00:20:27.359 --> 00:20:31.720 Sunday morning with her with her nieces and nephews there 329 00:20:31.799 --> 00:20:34.000 and other of her and I. 330 00:20:33.880 --> 00:20:36.680 Think that's going to be the top headline and CNN 331 00:20:36.720 --> 00:20:39.519 tomorrow it's going to be the pancake what do we 332 00:20:39.599 --> 00:20:44.119 call it?

Yes, 335 00:20:53.240 --> 00:20:57.640 she did, as far as natives of Dorchester would say, Dochester. 336 00:20:57.839 --> 00:21:01.960 Good Dorchester University or Island. I graduated maybe year ahead 337 00:21:02.000 --> 00:21:06.640 of me. What's his name, Doug M. Hall? Well, no, no, 338 00:21:06.839 --> 00:21:10.279 I'm drawing a blank, the gray hair. He's great politically, 339 00:21:10.559 --> 00:21:14.279 does all the maps. But he's a h John King, 340 00:21:14.680 --> 00:21:19.680 John King, John King. You're the guy I didn't realize. 341 00:21:20.240 --> 00:21:22.839 So he's got like me? 342 00:21:23.160 --> 00:21:28.160 All right? Okay, yeah, well he could again that could 343 00:21:28.200 --> 00:21:30.920 be the subject of the next interview, and they could 344 00:21:31.200 --> 00:21:33.319 they could, They could do that for an hour just 345 00:21:33.359 --> 00:21:36.480 to talk about you know, what are you gonna have 346 00:21:36.519 --> 00:21:39.839 with pancakes?
