I'm a ground news person myself, too. 28 00:01:14.760 --> 00:01:15.280 There you go. 29 00:01:15.299 --> 00:01:17.530 Well, we've got to get those plugs in. We'll get 30 00:01:17.549 --> 00:01:18.430 your plugs in, too. 31 00:01:18.829 --> 00:01:19.329 How you been? 32 00:01:20.290 --> 00:01:25.049 I'm doing great. I'm doing great. I'm having fun out there. 33 00:01:25.680 --> 00:01:26.959 I know you are. You're everywhere. 34 00:01:27.379 --> 00:01:29.719 And, you know, I guess the first thing that always 35 00:01:29.760 --> 00:01:31.319 comes to mind whenever we get on is just how 36 00:01:31.359 --> 00:01:34.420 your father's doing. I know his health has been an 37 00:01:34.719 --> 00:01:36.260 issue as of late. I did see that he's going 38 00:01:36.280 --> 00:01:39.420 to be going to the 9-11 ceremony in New York. 39 00:01:39.719 --> 00:01:41.439 That's the one that Trump, I guess, is skipping because 40 00:01:41.459 --> 00:01:43.579 they won't let him speak there and, I guess, ruin 41 00:01:43.609 --> 00:01:46.370 the festivities. But it's good to see that your dad's 42 00:01:46.390 --> 00:01:47.170 going to be there for that. 43 00:01:48.170 --> 00:01:48.689 Yeah, he is. 44 00:01:49.329 --> 00:01:53.969 And, you know, he's so tough. It's just like impossible. 45 00:01:54.650 --> 00:01:57.629 to keep him down. I mean, everyone that loves him 46 00:01:57.689 --> 00:02:01.010 and keeps telling him, please, like, you know, just can 47 00:02:01.049 --> 00:02:02.329 we rest for a little bit? 48 00:02:02.569 --> 00:02:05.790 But, um, so, you know, he's going to have to 49 00:02:05.810 --> 00:02:07.810 live with this for the rest of his life. It's painful. 50 00:02:07.890 --> 00:02:11.659 And the, and the, uh, the process is, um, you know, I, I, 51 00:02:11.819 --> 00:02:14.599 as I always say, it's, it's, uh, something I think 52 00:02:14.659 --> 00:02:18.300 almost every single person can relate to had, uh, someone 53 00:02:18.340 --> 00:02:22.460 that they love that has, uh, has cancer or has 54 00:02:22.520 --> 00:02:26.479 battled with cancer. And so, He's, but today he's doing, 55 00:02:26.659 --> 00:02:30.159 he's doing, he's doing great. Prognosis has been good. The 56 00:02:30.419 --> 00:02:33.560 treatment has been working and, but it's something he's going 57 00:02:33.580 --> 00:02:35.840 to have to live with for the rest of his life. Yeah. 58 00:02:36.500 --> 00:02:39.180 And it does say something, does it not, that the 59 00:02:39.219 --> 00:02:41.430 folks in New York would like to see Joe Biden 60 00:02:42.050 --> 00:02:45.289 at the 9-11 festivities, but not Donald Trump. I mean, 61 00:02:45.330 --> 00:02:47.770 it seems to me that that's probably a good move 62 00:02:47.849 --> 00:02:50.229 on their part, not having Donald Trump there, given his 63 00:02:50.270 --> 00:02:51.490 track record. Yeah. 64 00:02:51.789 --> 00:02:54.129 I mean, What is that even all about? I mean, 65 00:02:54.199 --> 00:02:57.219 talk about the level of narcissism that you have to 66 00:02:57.280 --> 00:02:59.599 have is to demand to speak, to be the only 67 00:02:59.740 --> 00:03:03.500 the first person to ever speak that, you know, with. 68 00:03:04.280 --> 00:03:04.960 I just don't get it. 69 00:03:04.960 --> 00:03:09.090 It just he takes every beautiful thing about us coming 70 00:03:09.110 --> 00:03:11.750 together and figures out a way to divide us even 71 00:03:11.789 --> 00:03:14.990 further and make something make it all about him. 72 00:03:15.740 --> 00:03:18.740 It's so true. There are so many different places where 73 00:03:18.759 --> 00:03:20.840 we can go. I want to talk about your Substack 74 00:03:20.960 --> 00:03:23.939 and anything else that you might have coming up. The 75 00:03:23.979 --> 00:03:26.159 other thing that has been pissing me off lately, and 76 00:03:26.199 --> 00:03:28.530 maybe it's because I spent almost eight years there covering 77 00:03:28.560 --> 00:03:30.689 the White House on a daily basis, is the fact 78 00:03:30.710 --> 00:03:32.889 that the Supreme Court says it's okay for Trump to 79 00:03:32.909 --> 00:03:34.650 knock down part of the White House and build this 80 00:03:34.810 --> 00:03:35.849 ridiculous ballroom. 81 00:03:36.349 --> 00:03:38.090 I guess what the. 82 00:03:38.009 --> 00:03:40.509 Supreme Court is now saying is that You know, any 83 00:03:40.569 --> 00:03:43.030 president can come in. I guess they can knock down 84 00:03:43.050 --> 00:03:45.050 the whole thing. They can put in an office building. 85 00:03:45.389 --> 00:03:47.129 They can put in an amusement park. 86 00:03:48.069 --> 00:03:50.879 It's insane. Have you had any thoughts on this? 87 00:03:51.400 --> 00:03:53.120 Yeah, well, one of the things that I think is 88 00:03:53.159 --> 00:03:56.879 the most troubling about that decision is that they is 89 00:03:57.520 --> 00:04:01.000 outside of just the context of the actual East Wing 90 00:04:01.840 --> 00:04:05.759 and that project is the way that they got to 91 00:04:05.870 --> 00:04:08.590 the decision is by denying standing. 92 00:04:09.090 --> 00:04:12.069 Um, to the, uh, to, to the, uh. 93 00:04:12.310 --> 00:04:13.830 To the plantation folks, right? 94 00:04:13.909 --> 00:04:15.069 Yeah. Preservation folks. 95 00:04:15.110 --> 00:04:18.970 So if, if they don't have standing, what, uh, and 96 00:04:19.189 --> 00:04:22.569 so many other things, not basically on whether he wants to, 97 00:04:22.649 --> 00:04:25.720 you know, tear down the Kennedy center, whether he wants to, 98 00:04:25.879 --> 00:04:27.860 you know, whatever he wants to do. And I always 99 00:04:27.899 --> 00:04:31.250 say about this, just so everybody understands this, this is, 100 00:04:31.279 --> 00:04:32.620 this is not just abnormal. 101 00:04:32.939 --> 00:04:33.259 Okay. 102 00:04:33.800 --> 00:04:38.420 This is a, um, uh, and it's beyond just the 103 00:04:38.519 --> 00:04:42.660 idea of like, he likes to build things or, or 104 00:04:42.740 --> 00:04:46.629 turn everything into gold. What it is, is him taking 105 00:04:46.790 --> 00:04:50.269 ownership of something that belongs to all of us. He 106 00:04:50.350 --> 00:04:53.009 is saying to us, I can do with this, whatever 107 00:04:53.189 --> 00:04:56.629 I want, because I own it. I am, I own 108 00:04:56.670 --> 00:04:59.899 the white house. I own, you know, the Kennedy center. 109 00:05:00.120 --> 00:05:04.439 I own the, the reflecting pool. And, you know, It's 110 00:05:04.639 --> 00:05:07.189 literally what autocrats do. 111 00:05:07.500 --> 00:05:09.290 And it's what dictators do. 112 00:05:09.810 --> 00:05:15.110 And for him, it's about the symbolism of that, is 113 00:05:15.129 --> 00:05:17.889 that he can bring in literally a wrecking ball and 114 00:05:17.930 --> 00:05:22.100 take down a third of the entire square footage of 115 00:05:22.139 --> 00:05:25.399 the East Wing and build it in his likeness. And 116 00:05:25.540 --> 00:05:28.920 that's the thing that's the most disturbing about it. You know, 117 00:05:29.560 --> 00:05:33.610 I think that the Supreme Court is, you know, maybe 118 00:05:33.629 --> 00:05:35.209 too late for us, but it's going to rue the 119 00:05:35.250 --> 00:05:39.170 day when they gave so much latitude to this guy 120 00:05:39.230 --> 00:05:42.040 that clearly has the intention of never leaving. 121 00:05:42.060 --> 00:05:44.459 Yeah, I mean, and Hunter, you and I are around 122 00:05:44.500 --> 00:05:45.360 the same age. 123 00:05:45.620 --> 00:05:46.879 And I mean, I don't know about you, but I 124 00:05:46.920 --> 00:05:50.420 grew up with like reverence for the Supreme Court. 125 00:05:50.620 --> 00:05:52.220 I mean, I thought, you know, the. 126 00:05:52.170 --> 00:05:56.060 Office of the presidency, obviously very political and Congress, very political. 127 00:05:56.120 --> 00:05:58.680 The Supreme Court, I grew up with this, and maybe 128 00:05:58.759 --> 00:06:01.199 I was stupid and naive, but I had this notion 129 00:06:01.250 --> 00:06:03.689 that the Supreme Court was sort of above all of that. 130 00:06:04.170 --> 00:06:06.069 Now I get the sense that people just feel like, ah, 131 00:06:06.110 --> 00:06:08.730 it's just the MAGA guys on one side, the liberals 132 00:06:08.790 --> 00:06:10.310 on the other side, and that's the way it goes. 133 00:06:10.410 --> 00:06:13.879 And what a depressing thing to have happened to our country. Because, 134 00:06:13.899 --> 00:06:15.800 I mean, are you telling me that if Joe Biden 135 00:06:15.819 --> 00:06:17.319 had knocked down part of the White House, that the 136 00:06:17.339 --> 00:06:19.100 Supreme Court would be like, okay, sure, that's fine? 137 00:06:19.839 --> 00:06:20.579 I just think that's nuts. 138 00:06:20.620 --> 00:06:21.100 No, I know. 139 00:06:21.379 --> 00:06:25.319 I mean, it's astounding. I mean, and it's every day. 140 00:06:25.819 --> 00:06:27.990 There's a new example of it in which he's given 141 00:06:28.009 --> 00:06:35.490 a free pass by the other institutions and the Supreme Court, Congress, 142 00:06:35.670 --> 00:06:42.769 the other separate parts of the executive that in the past, 143 00:06:42.829 --> 00:06:48.569 whether it's by just the norms, the Justice Department being 144 00:06:48.680 --> 00:06:53.310 one of them, That it just every day he gets 145 00:06:53.379 --> 00:06:57.769 a pass. And and the more that he does, the 146 00:06:57.829 --> 00:06:59.959 more the precedent is set. 147 00:07:00.579 --> 00:07:02.759 And I and when I say rue the day. 148 00:07:04.029 --> 00:07:11.110 What happens when the quote-unquote kind of anti-Donald Trump comes in, 149 00:07:11.490 --> 00:07:13.910 which will not be any better for this country, regardless 150 00:07:13.949 --> 00:07:16.269 of where you stand as it relates to Donald Trump, 151 00:07:16.470 --> 00:07:20.350 is that no one, this is the entire idea behind 152 00:07:20.410 --> 00:07:21.490 our constitutional republic. 153 00:07:21.529 --> 00:07:24.389 He's attacking the fundamental. 154 00:07:25.300 --> 00:07:29.139 uh, reason for why we are a nation and why 155 00:07:29.160 --> 00:07:34.870 I always believe that regardless of all our warts and, and, uh, and, uh, 156 00:07:35.089 --> 00:07:38.529 troubled history is that we were always seeking to, uh, 157 00:07:39.069 --> 00:07:42.930 build a better union. And, and, and he made it 158 00:07:42.990 --> 00:07:45.920 clear that that is not the intent we're, we're, what we're, 159 00:07:46.209 --> 00:07:50.639 we're in now is, um, you know, the, uh, implementing, uh, 160 00:07:51.279 --> 00:07:54.420 the Trumpism, uh, and not the constitution. 161 00:07:55.209 --> 00:07:55.730 Exactly. 162 00:07:56.209 --> 00:07:56.389 Yeah. 163 00:07:56.449 --> 00:07:59.019 And Trumpism, by the way, includes falling asleep all the 164 00:07:59.060 --> 00:07:59.959 time in the Oval Office. 165 00:08:00.000 --> 00:08:02.180 He did it yet again. I don't know. 166 00:08:02.240 --> 00:08:04.639 I mean, I know we brought this up the last time. 167 00:08:04.660 --> 00:08:07.949 He called your dad Sleepy Joe all the time. He 168 00:08:08.050 --> 00:08:10.949 falls asleep every time they do one of these photo 169 00:08:10.990 --> 00:08:13.670 opportunities in the Oval Office. He's falling asleep. 170 00:08:13.790 --> 00:08:15.490 We can show some of the video right there. And 171 00:08:15.529 --> 00:08:18.860 he's just out cold with people behind him talking. 172 00:08:19.490 --> 00:08:21.490 I mean, I fall asleep in movies or in front 173 00:08:21.509 --> 00:08:24.550 of the TV and stuff. But people like standing around me, 174 00:08:24.610 --> 00:08:25.750 I would never fall asleep. 175 00:08:25.850 --> 00:08:26.670 I don't get this. 176 00:08:27.810 --> 00:08:32.909 Yeah, I get it. He clearly has something wrong. 177 00:08:33.169 --> 00:08:40.809 There's nothing even remotely normal about this. And it's really 178 00:08:41.509 --> 00:08:44.509 the hypocrisy. This is where I would love to hear 179 00:08:44.580 --> 00:08:48.039 your take on it. is I don't get what the 180 00:08:48.080 --> 00:08:50.909 press is doing. I read an article today about Steve 181 00:08:50.929 --> 00:08:55.330 Witkoff meeting with what's his name from the UAE, the, the, 182 00:08:55.649 --> 00:09:00.149 the Amir's brother who runs all of the intelligence services 183 00:09:00.309 --> 00:09:03.720 for the UAE and is, you know, and runs the 184 00:09:03.759 --> 00:09:06.799 sovereign wealth fund. And it had this whole article about 185 00:09:06.879 --> 00:09:09.740 how Steve Witkoff had this major sit down with him 186 00:09:09.879 --> 00:09:12.120 as it related to the Iran war for the strategy. 187 00:09:12.539 --> 00:09:15.450 And not one mention in there about how Steve Witkoff's 188 00:09:15.490 --> 00:09:20.669 family is partners in business with this person in World 189 00:09:20.690 --> 00:09:23.009 Liberty Financial to the tune of almost a half a 190 00:09:23.049 --> 00:09:27.279 billion dollar investment in a scam, a cryptocurrency scam. And 191 00:09:27.340 --> 00:09:30.159 it's amazing to me is how they let this stuff 192 00:09:30.179 --> 00:09:30.740 just slide. 193 00:09:31.179 --> 00:09:35.120 It is absolutely. I mean, I remember this, OK, for years. 194 00:09:35.679 --> 00:09:37.960 I don't know how long and how many millions of 195 00:09:38.000 --> 00:09:40.320 dollars I had to defend myself. And one of the 196 00:09:40.360 --> 00:09:43.620 issues was, is that I when my dad was neither 197 00:09:43.740 --> 00:09:49.809 president nor vice president, met with individuals that I was 198 00:09:49.850 --> 00:09:51.889 doing business with. He never met with them, but he 199 00:09:52.129 --> 00:09:54.509 literally did like a photo op walking out of a restaurant, 200 00:09:54.590 --> 00:09:55.409 not even a photo op. 201 00:09:55.509 --> 00:09:57.370 The guy took a picture of himself, a selfie. 202 00:09:58.149 --> 00:10:01.820 And yeah and and that was it that's the entirety 203 00:10:01.840 --> 00:10:05.389 of any evidence that they had similarly now these guys 204 00:10:05.669 --> 00:10:10.009 are literally making billions of dollars with these people and 205 00:10:10.049 --> 00:10:14.120 they are and they are um uh uh setting policy 206 00:10:14.159 --> 00:10:16.480 for the United States of America, which has increased gas 207 00:10:16.519 --> 00:10:19.379 prices by what, 40% since the start of the war 208 00:10:19.399 --> 00:10:22.970 of the rent? The straightforward solution is still closed. And 209 00:10:23.049 --> 00:10:28.370 they're making money off of it by front trading, insider trading, 210 00:10:28.990 --> 00:10:30.769 letting them know when he's going to go make a 211 00:10:30.809 --> 00:10:34.429 statement and making billions of dollars in trades on the 212 00:10:34.450 --> 00:10:35.070 world's futures. 213 00:10:35.590 --> 00:10:37.460 I would love for somebody to ask that question, how 214 00:10:37.529 --> 00:10:40.919 he could give these people advanced access to his Truth 215 00:10:40.960 --> 00:10:43.389 Social feed so they can place the right bets on 216 00:10:43.409 --> 00:10:45.750 the stock market or the calci market or prediction market 217 00:10:45.769 --> 00:10:50.850 whatever it's so totally corrupt and insane and not in 218 00:10:50.909 --> 00:10:53.509 keeping with the american tradition at all of the office 219 00:10:53.529 --> 00:10:56.590 of the presidency i mean i also think that jared 220 00:10:56.610 --> 00:11:00.190 kushner doing business with the saudis you know that. 221 00:11:00.129 --> 00:11:05.690 He makes annually a hundred million dollars in fees from 222 00:11:05.710 --> 00:11:09.049 the saudis they're literally paying him And not only that, 223 00:11:09.070 --> 00:11:11.269 he's got, I think, up to $ 6. 224 00:11:11.070 --> 00:11:15.629 4 billion invested in his fund now. $ 6. 225 00:11:13.110 --> 00:11:16.370 4 billion, all from Gulf state countries. 226 00:11:16.990 --> 00:11:19.889 And they want to give the Saudis nuclear power, which 227 00:11:19.960 --> 00:11:20.889 obviously could lead to a. 228 00:11:20.919 --> 00:11:21.320 They do. 229 00:11:21.440 --> 00:11:23.419 And by the way, I know, for instance, that the 230 00:11:23.480 --> 00:11:26.440 Secretary of Energy's nephew is in bed with some of 231 00:11:26.480 --> 00:11:29.899 the people that have gotten pardons from Donald Trump. And 232 00:11:29.940 --> 00:11:33.039 they're supposedly the point people for any of the technology 233 00:11:33.080 --> 00:11:34.710 that's going to be transferred to the. 234 00:11:36.470 --> 00:11:38.649 To the Saudis as it relates to a nuclear program 235 00:11:38.929 --> 00:11:40.769 of which we were so hell bent on stopping. 236 00:11:42.200 --> 00:11:42.509 Yeah. 237 00:11:42.669 --> 00:11:46.600 And I mean, it just doesn't end. And I just, 238 00:11:46.620 --> 00:11:49.139 you know, to me, the press needs to be asking 239 00:11:49.179 --> 00:11:49.960 harder questions. 240 00:11:50.120 --> 00:11:51.580 I mean, and part of it is. 241 00:11:51.559 --> 00:11:55.220 Because he throws out all of this goofy, crazy shit 242 00:11:55.600 --> 00:11:58.220 on a regular basis. You know, he says things like, 243 00:11:58.419 --> 00:12:02.000 you know, did you realize that dumb has the letter 244 00:12:02.100 --> 00:12:03.049 B on the end of it? 245 00:12:03.159 --> 00:12:05.360 And he just says silly, kooky stuff. 246 00:12:05.980 --> 00:12:08.000 And I'm thinking to myself, you know, I guess we 247 00:12:08.039 --> 00:12:09.399 could cover, I mean, I guess we could. 248 00:12:09.320 --> 00:12:10.940 Play this, but it's like, you know. 249 00:12:11.220 --> 00:12:11.840 And that's when I. 250 00:12:11.799 --> 00:12:14.200 Came up with the name Democrat because it's the dumbest 251 00:12:14.220 --> 00:12:18.159 stuff I've ever seen. Like the transgender, like the men 252 00:12:18.220 --> 00:12:21.759 and women's sports, like the open borders, like hundreds of 253 00:12:21.820 --> 00:12:24.779 other things that are so bad. And then I said, well, 254 00:12:24.820 --> 00:12:29.460 if you replace the E with a U instead of Democrat, 255 00:12:29.480 --> 00:12:31.950 you have Democrat. And most people don't know that dumb 256 00:12:32.019 --> 00:12:33.500 has a B at the end. You know, they think 257 00:12:33.570 --> 00:12:35.730 it's D-U-M and that's okay. 258 00:12:36.830 --> 00:12:39.340 Yeah, Hunter, nobody thinks that. And I don't, is his 259 00:12:39.409 --> 00:12:40.299 brain broken? 260 00:12:40.320 --> 00:12:43.299 I mean, you know, your father said one thing in 261 00:12:43.340 --> 00:12:45.919 a debate, had to end his campaign, and Trump says 262 00:12:45.960 --> 00:12:47.120 this shit almost every day. 263 00:12:47.759 --> 00:12:48.960 Every day. Every day. 264 00:12:49.000 --> 00:12:51.450 It's almost, you know, and then here's the thing, Jim, 265 00:12:51.710 --> 00:12:55.509 is this is why I think that from your experience. 266 00:12:56.470 --> 00:12:57.210 As being. 267 00:12:58.909 --> 00:13:03.250 A part of the White House press pool and White 268 00:13:03.269 --> 00:13:07.899 House correspondent, is I just don't get how they let 269 00:13:07.940 --> 00:13:12.000 this stuff pass. I don't get it anymore. And, and I, and, and, 270 00:13:12.679 --> 00:13:14.590 and so we get caught in this thing. Well, yeah, 271 00:13:14.629 --> 00:13:18.110 dad had a bad, one bad debate performance. And, and 272 00:13:18.210 --> 00:13:20.570 sometimes he mixed up the word ran with the rack 273 00:13:20.629 --> 00:13:24.159 or things like that. This, this literally happens on a 274 00:13:24.200 --> 00:13:27.440 daily basis. And I almost wonder, is it, if it's 275 00:13:27.600 --> 00:13:30.500 like the, You know, you say, well, it's just all 276 00:13:30.519 --> 00:13:32.580 of these things that he does as a distraction, like 277 00:13:32.720 --> 00:13:34.840 naming Lake Ontario, renaming Lake Ontario. 278 00:13:34.860 --> 00:13:36.730 Yeah, what did you think of that? Well, I mean, 279 00:13:36.830 --> 00:13:37.330 I can't. 280 00:13:37.149 --> 00:13:40.470 Think of it literally more, a dumber with a B 281 00:13:40.549 --> 00:13:44.769 thing in history, except for the thing that he did, 282 00:13:45.190 --> 00:13:48.870 you know, three days before that. I mean, talk about dumb. 283 00:13:49.690 --> 00:13:53.409 It is just, like, and offensive and childish. 284 00:13:53.679 --> 00:13:56.159 And then Google goes along with it. Apple goes along 285 00:13:56.200 --> 00:13:57.460 with it. That's disgraceful, too. 286 00:13:57.480 --> 00:14:00.559 Yeah. By the way, go get your MapQuest. Everybody go 287 00:14:00.620 --> 00:14:04.570 to the Apple Store right now and download MapQuest. I'm 288 00:14:04.830 --> 00:14:05.169 with you. 289 00:14:05.710 --> 00:14:08.950 The heroes of the internet right now who refuse to 290 00:14:09.009 --> 00:14:11.149 name a lake, by the way, which has been named 291 00:14:11.190 --> 00:14:16.389 that for over, what, 500 years. Something like that. I 292 00:14:16.409 --> 00:14:23.000 think 400 years, literally, before colonization. And so it's just 293 00:14:23.220 --> 00:14:23.850 dumb with the B. 294 00:14:24.750 --> 00:14:26.259 It is all dumb with a B. 295 00:14:26.279 --> 00:14:27.840 There's no question about it. You know what it is? 296 00:14:27.899 --> 00:14:29.779 It's a dumb with a Donald Trump at the end. 297 00:14:30.000 --> 00:14:31.179 That's what it is. Yeah. 298 00:14:31.379 --> 00:14:32.419 With a capital D. 299 00:14:32.820 --> 00:14:33.720 Yeah, exactly. 300 00:14:34.080 --> 00:14:37.700 No, you know, and I did see one of your 301 00:14:37.740 --> 00:14:40.139 interviews the other day where you were talking about Vice 302 00:14:40.179 --> 00:14:44.100 President Kamala Harris. And I mean, I will say that, 303 00:14:44.360 --> 00:14:46.779 you know, this from the from the get go looked 304 00:14:46.799 --> 00:14:49.490 like a really good pairing to me when your your 305 00:14:49.570 --> 00:14:51.450 dad picked Kamala Harris as vice president. 306 00:14:51.919 --> 00:14:53.700 I thought they worked together pretty, pretty well. 307 00:14:53.759 --> 00:14:56.039 I mean, I guess, you know, any relationship between the 308 00:14:56.080 --> 00:14:58.720 president and vice president might have its hiccups from time 309 00:14:58.759 --> 00:14:59.159 to time. 310 00:14:59.179 --> 00:15:01.649 I mean, Trump and J.D. Vance, that's a whole other story. 311 00:15:02.870 --> 00:15:04.909 But I guess you were doing an interview the other 312 00:15:04.929 --> 00:15:06.990 day where you were talking about Kamala Harris and loyalty. 313 00:15:07.009 --> 00:15:07.490 Did you want to. 314 00:15:08.840 --> 00:15:12.120 Well, you know, here's the thing is this is like 315 00:15:12.940 --> 00:15:14.279 I truly love the vice president. 316 00:15:14.480 --> 00:15:15.500 And I certainly don't. 317 00:15:16.200 --> 00:15:18.120 I can't speak for my dad on this is that 318 00:15:18.210 --> 00:15:21.350 he loved working with the with Vice President Harris. And 319 00:15:21.470 --> 00:15:25.029 she was an incredibly loyal and effective member of the administration. 320 00:15:25.509 --> 00:15:28.870 And on a personal level, I'd love Doug and Kamala. 321 00:15:29.210 --> 00:15:32.679 I'm an overly sensitive boy sometimes. You know, I think 322 00:15:33.100 --> 00:15:36.460 I think I made that statement. in response to like, 323 00:15:36.539 --> 00:15:39.080 I saw a thing where she was talking about like 324 00:15:39.120 --> 00:15:41.830 who her favorite presidents and, you know, and, and I 325 00:15:41.850 --> 00:15:43.649 guess what the point was is that she wasn't going 326 00:15:43.669 --> 00:15:48.809 to name, you know, her, you know, her ticket, but, um, uh, but, and, and, and, 327 00:15:49.210 --> 00:15:51.029 and the fact of the matter is, is that I 328 00:15:51.070 --> 00:15:53.850 think the, what we should be talking about now is 329 00:15:53.990 --> 00:15:57.009 the incredible women, particularly black women that are, that are 330 00:15:57.049 --> 00:16:01.720 running for that, that are actually in races right now. Um, uh, like, uh, 331 00:16:01.919 --> 00:16:06.090 like Stratton, like, um, uh, Keisha Lance Bottoms. I mean, 332 00:16:06.149 --> 00:16:09.169 talk about an incredible candidate down in Georgia. 333 00:16:09.809 --> 00:16:13.210 And my own senator from the state of Delaware, Lisa 334 00:16:13.250 --> 00:16:15.570 Blount Rochester, who is a superstar. 335 00:16:16.210 --> 00:16:23.960 And I know that the, so here's me apologizing for 336 00:16:25.120 --> 00:16:27.320 being a little bratty on the. 337 00:16:27.740 --> 00:16:30.159 National tv but you know that's me so. 338 00:16:30.080 --> 00:16:32.720 That's okay it's all right to get a little sensitive 339 00:16:32.759 --> 00:16:34.299 about your dad he's your dad that's. 340 00:16:34.159 --> 00:16:36.740 The way yeah yeah um. 341 00:16:36.519 --> 00:16:38.919 You know but i i do wonder though it does 342 00:16:38.970 --> 00:16:41.669 raise the issue of like what is the future of 343 00:16:41.730 --> 00:16:43.730 the democratic party i know you and i talked about 344 00:16:43.769 --> 00:16:45.750 this before and i knew you told me that you 345 00:16:45.769 --> 00:16:47.149 weren't going to run for anything so i'm not. 346 00:16:47.070 --> 00:16:51.789 Going to ask about yourself but um Is it John Ossoff? 347 00:16:51.809 --> 00:16:53.970 He brought up the Natalie Harp thing, and then that 348 00:16:54.389 --> 00:16:57.769 went viral and I think created a real problem and 349 00:16:57.789 --> 00:17:00.570 a headache for the current White House. I mean, I 350 00:17:00.590 --> 00:17:02.929 thought that was kind of a master stroke on his part. 351 00:17:02.990 --> 00:17:05.039 I don't know whether it was somebody who gave him 352 00:17:05.059 --> 00:17:07.400 that idea or what, but is there a candidate out 353 00:17:07.420 --> 00:17:09.200 there that you'd like?
