00:00:01.159 --> 00:00:04.400
<v Speaker 1>I'm like a good woman, Babe, and I'm a good

2
00:00:04.400 --> 00:00:05.120
<v Speaker 1>woman Steel.

3
00:00:06.120 --> 00:00:08.439
<v Speaker 2>I'm a cold woman, bless.

4
00:00:08.640 --> 00:00:09.439
<v Speaker 3>I'm a girl.

5
00:00:09.560 --> 00:00:16.039
<v Speaker 2>See, I'm.

6
00:00:18.440 --> 00:00:21.480
<v Speaker 1>I'm the bowl, bad of.

7
00:00:21.480 --> 00:00:27.320
<v Speaker 3>The bowl, Billy cunning Him. Let's continue with a reporter,

8
00:00:27.399 --> 00:00:31.359
<v Speaker 3>a newsman and commentator live and both conventions for an overview.

9
00:00:31.440 --> 00:00:34.679
<v Speaker 3>Leland Vender of News Nation, Leland Vinder of News Nation,

10
00:00:34.759 --> 00:00:37.320
<v Speaker 3>and welcome again to the Bill Cunningham Show. And may

11
00:00:37.320 --> 00:00:39.640
<v Speaker 3>I bring up a different matter, but before we talk

12
00:00:39.679 --> 00:00:45.200
<v Speaker 3>about the conventions, please, I'm looking at a story out

13
00:00:45.240 --> 00:00:49.520
<v Speaker 3>of UH. Out of according UH the Biden administration officials.

14
00:00:49.520 --> 00:00:54.039
<v Speaker 3>The headline is this Iran wants Trump eliminated by election day.

15
00:00:54.679 --> 00:00:56.960
<v Speaker 3>Goes on to say, the Islamic regime in Iran is

16
00:00:56.960 --> 00:01:00.240
<v Speaker 3>trying to assassinate former President Donald Trump with the hopes

17
00:01:00.280 --> 00:01:04.879
<v Speaker 3>of doing so before November fifth. Multiple government agencies associated

18
00:01:04.959 --> 00:01:08.439
<v Speaker 3>US allies across the Middle East have informed Donald Trump

19
00:01:08.480 --> 00:01:11.480
<v Speaker 3>of the of the dangers. The Iranian regime has made

20
00:01:11.480 --> 00:01:14.400
<v Speaker 3>it clear at once to kill or assassinate Donald Trump

21
00:01:14.400 --> 00:01:16.879
<v Speaker 3>and must do so by November fifth. Then I'm looking

22
00:01:16.920 --> 00:01:19.040
<v Speaker 3>at this other story that News Nation had a large

23
00:01:19.079 --> 00:01:22.840
<v Speaker 3>part about, which is the Trump shooter had multiple encrypted

24
00:01:22.920 --> 00:01:28.239
<v Speaker 3>accounts overseas. According to Representative Waltz of I think of

25
00:01:28.519 --> 00:01:31.799
<v Speaker 3>Florida the government and nearly killed former President Trump at

26
00:01:31.799 --> 00:01:35.599
<v Speaker 3>a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania last month, using crypted messaging

27
00:01:35.640 --> 00:01:40.159
<v Speaker 3>accounts on multiple platforms based in Belgium, New Zealand and Germany,

28
00:01:40.439 --> 00:01:43.840
<v Speaker 3>according to a House of Representative appointed pointed to investigate

29
00:01:43.879 --> 00:01:46.439
<v Speaker 3>the matter. So, on one hand, we caught and he's

30
00:01:46.480 --> 00:01:49.239
<v Speaker 3>been shot. Thank god, it was a it was a

31
00:01:49.280 --> 00:01:53.239
<v Speaker 3>Grays type wound. But Congressman Michael Waltz of Florida, retired

32
00:01:53.280 --> 00:01:56.680
<v Speaker 3>Green Beray, is part of a thirteen member House bipartisan

33
00:01:56.719 --> 00:02:00.359
<v Speaker 3>task force investigating the assassination. I would say there's not

34
00:02:00.439 --> 00:02:03.959
<v Speaker 3>more than two or three nineteen year olds who live

35
00:02:04.000 --> 00:02:06.879
<v Speaker 3>in the literally their parents' basement, that work in a

36
00:02:07.000 --> 00:02:11.280
<v Speaker 3>nursing home, that have access to encrypted accounts in three

37
00:02:11.319 --> 00:02:14.800
<v Speaker 3>different countries. Are these events at all related? Before we

38
00:02:14.840 --> 00:02:20.360
<v Speaker 3>talk about the conventions, I always.

39
00:02:20.039 --> 00:02:25.120
<v Speaker 2>Have a hard time believing fully in these things. Do

40
00:02:25.199 --> 00:02:29.039
<v Speaker 2>we know everything about the assassination of Donald Trump?

41
00:02:29.439 --> 00:02:29.479
<v Speaker 1>No?

42
00:02:29.759 --> 00:02:31.080
<v Speaker 2>Do we need to learn more?

43
00:02:31.520 --> 00:02:31.759
<v Speaker 3>Yes?

44
00:02:32.919 --> 00:02:36.560
<v Speaker 2>I tend to try to deal in connected facts, not

45
00:02:36.960 --> 00:02:42.719
<v Speaker 2>unconnected facts with a lot of leaps made. So is

46
00:02:42.800 --> 00:02:45.120
<v Speaker 2>what you're saying possible, and is it possible it is

47
00:02:45.159 --> 00:02:50.919
<v Speaker 2>all connected? Is it possible that the would be assassined

48
00:02:50.919 --> 00:02:55.039
<v Speaker 2>for Donald Trump was somehow much more than what we

49
00:02:55.159 --> 00:02:58.319
<v Speaker 2>know him to be right now, which is a very

50
00:02:58.319 --> 00:03:04.479
<v Speaker 2>disturbed young man. Absolutely, But I don't think disproved that,

51
00:03:05.360 --> 00:03:07.080
<v Speaker 2>nor do I think we can get to the point

52
00:03:07.159 --> 00:03:10.639
<v Speaker 2>yet of saying that somehow he was influenced, which I

53
00:03:10.639 --> 00:03:13.319
<v Speaker 2>think what you're suggesting by foreign actors.

54
00:03:13.599 --> 00:03:16.639
<v Speaker 3>And the other thing, the Secret Service members have put

55
00:03:16.680 --> 00:03:19.000
<v Speaker 3>on leave, been put on leave, several have been put

56
00:03:19.039 --> 00:03:22.639
<v Speaker 3>on leave subject to more discipline. So you have federal

57
00:03:22.680 --> 00:03:26.240
<v Speaker 3>government agencies leaving a wide open Donald Trump with a

58
00:03:26.280 --> 00:03:28.520
<v Speaker 3>clear shot from like one hundred and forty yards away

59
00:03:28.800 --> 00:03:32.280
<v Speaker 3>from someone who was in the scopes of the Secret

60
00:03:32.319 --> 00:03:38.599
<v Speaker 3>Service and also snipers, letting him in a sense do

61
00:03:38.680 --> 00:03:42.080
<v Speaker 3>what he did. Then you have an I don't know

62
00:03:42.120 --> 00:03:44.960
<v Speaker 3>what an encrypted account is. Maybe you do, but I

63
00:03:44.960 --> 00:03:47.199
<v Speaker 3>would say there's not more than one or two nineteen

64
00:03:47.280 --> 00:03:50.759
<v Speaker 3>year olds with encrypted accounts overseas. And then throw on

65
00:03:50.840 --> 00:03:54.599
<v Speaker 3>top of that the fact that Heron very much so

66
00:03:54.759 --> 00:03:57.759
<v Speaker 3>does not want Donald Trump to become the president. They

67
00:03:57.879 --> 00:04:01.039
<v Speaker 3>like the policies of Kamala Harris you pull that together,

68
00:04:01.080 --> 00:04:05.000
<v Speaker 3>and I'm thinking, thank god he missed by half an

69
00:04:05.039 --> 00:04:07.199
<v Speaker 3>inch would have tore off the right side of Donald

70
00:04:07.240 --> 00:04:10.080
<v Speaker 3>Trump's skull and we'd be in a different position. And

71
00:04:10.680 --> 00:04:13.080
<v Speaker 3>I just and this thing is dead right now that

72
00:04:13.199 --> 00:04:17.279
<v Speaker 3>this happened last month and there's no discussion, The mainstream

73
00:04:17.319 --> 00:04:20.480
<v Speaker 3>media doesn't cover the story anymore. And also before we

74
00:04:20.519 --> 00:04:23.560
<v Speaker 3>talk about the convention that Leland Venter, the US House

75
00:04:23.560 --> 00:04:27.680
<v Speaker 3>Select Committee is recommending the impeachment and maybe the indictment

76
00:04:27.759 --> 00:04:30.879
<v Speaker 3>of Joe Biden for collecting millions of dollars directly and

77
00:04:30.959 --> 00:04:33.879
<v Speaker 3>indirectly from communists Red China when he was the vice president.

78
00:04:34.199 --> 00:04:39.000
<v Speaker 3>That may continue through now. So you have a compromised president,

79
00:04:39.399 --> 00:04:43.600
<v Speaker 3>You have Kamala Harris who wants to I imagine, continue

80
00:04:43.600 --> 00:04:47.000
<v Speaker 3>the failed policies the past four years, put them on steroids.

81
00:04:47.360 --> 00:04:51.199
<v Speaker 3>You have this, this attempt at assassin, this murderer who

82
00:04:51.240 --> 00:04:54.959
<v Speaker 3>had encrypted multiple platforms overseas, and then on top of that,

83
00:04:55.079 --> 00:04:58.360
<v Speaker 3>you have Iran announcing we're going to kill the guy.

84
00:05:00.040 --> 00:05:03.199
<v Speaker 3>Those events related, unrelated. What do you say, Leland Villard.

85
00:05:03.399 --> 00:05:08.240
<v Speaker 3>I'm not a conspiratorily guy myself, but this looks.

86
00:05:07.120 --> 00:05:13.360
<v Speaker 2>Still Bill, I don't I think the House investigation into

87
00:05:13.480 --> 00:05:16.120
<v Speaker 2>Joe Biden and what may or may not have transpired

88
00:05:16.160 --> 00:05:18.399
<v Speaker 2>with his family business dealings in China, that we've been

89
00:05:18.439 --> 00:05:22.560
<v Speaker 2>promised indictments and investigations and impeachments and all these things

90
00:05:22.800 --> 00:05:25.879
<v Speaker 2>for months and for years that have not materialized. And

91
00:05:25.959 --> 00:05:30.360
<v Speaker 2>the Donald Trump assassination is a heck of a reach.

92
00:05:31.720 --> 00:05:34.000
<v Speaker 2>And that's sort of like trying to You're you're trying

93
00:05:34.000 --> 00:05:36.720
<v Speaker 2>to leave the chasm in two bounds here, my friend

94
00:05:36.920 --> 00:05:40.120
<v Speaker 2>and I I just I think that there are real

95
00:05:40.160 --> 00:05:42.600
<v Speaker 2>issues with the with the Biden presidency. I think there's

96
00:05:42.600 --> 00:05:46.279
<v Speaker 2>real issues with President Biden's foreign business dealings. I think

97
00:05:46.279 --> 00:05:51.600
<v Speaker 2>there's real issues with the investigation into Donald Trump's asassination

98
00:05:51.639 --> 00:05:54.399
<v Speaker 2>attempt and how we don't know everything. And there's real

99
00:05:54.519 --> 00:05:59.600
<v Speaker 2>questions about how this young man who seeming to lead

100
00:05:59.639 --> 00:06:03.800
<v Speaker 2>to be a young complete screw up, who spent a

101
00:06:03.839 --> 00:06:06.920
<v Speaker 2>lot of time online ends up with no digital footprint

102
00:06:07.240 --> 00:06:10.079
<v Speaker 2>and one hundred and fifty yards away from the former

103
00:06:10.079 --> 00:06:14.199
<v Speaker 2>president and Republican nominee for president. All of those things

104
00:06:14.240 --> 00:06:16.519
<v Speaker 2>are good questions. I do not think they are related.

105
00:06:16.759 --> 00:06:18.759
<v Speaker 3>All right, let's move on to the conventions here. We're

106
00:06:18.759 --> 00:06:21.639
<v Speaker 3>at both and I watched a lot of your coverage

107
00:06:21.639 --> 00:06:25.560
<v Speaker 3>on News Nation talk about the Republican convention in Milwaukee,

108
00:06:25.639 --> 00:06:28.959
<v Speaker 3>the Democratic convention in Chicago. Did each of the parties

109
00:06:28.959 --> 00:06:31.279
<v Speaker 3>do what they intended? Give me a full report.

110
00:06:32.839 --> 00:06:38.040
<v Speaker 2>Both parties did exactly what they intended. Neither party will

111
00:06:38.120 --> 00:06:41.319
<v Speaker 2>end up living up to how they were feeling on

112
00:06:41.439 --> 00:06:43.639
<v Speaker 2>Thursday night, And by that I mean on Thursday night

113
00:06:43.759 --> 00:06:46.480
<v Speaker 2>or Friday morning after the Republican Convention, they were all

114
00:06:46.519 --> 00:06:51.600
<v Speaker 2>talking about putting Minnesota in Virginia in play. And Democrats

115
00:06:51.680 --> 00:06:55.279
<v Speaker 2>leaving today think that Kamala Harris is going to sweep

116
00:06:55.279 --> 00:07:00.839
<v Speaker 2>the Sunbelt and hold the Blue ball And this is

117
00:07:00.879 --> 00:07:02.959
<v Speaker 2>Barack Obama two thousand and eight again, and it's not

118
00:07:03.040 --> 00:07:06.120
<v Speaker 2>that either. So the conventions did what they're designed to

119
00:07:06.160 --> 00:07:09.079
<v Speaker 2>do for the party faithful, and now we move forward.

120
00:07:10.600 --> 00:07:15.879
<v Speaker 3>Is it capable? Is she possibly able to withstand an

121
00:07:15.959 --> 00:07:21.040
<v Speaker 3>independent objective questioning from a news media type like yourself.

122
00:07:22.040 --> 00:07:25.519
<v Speaker 3>Is it possible she can go the entire election without

123
00:07:25.560 --> 00:07:29.199
<v Speaker 3>presenting herself maybe to an Oprah Winfrey or Joe Scarborough interview?

124
00:07:29.959 --> 00:07:33.240
<v Speaker 3>Is it conceivable she can hide for the next seventy

125
00:07:33.279 --> 00:07:33.839
<v Speaker 3>five days.

126
00:07:35.199 --> 00:07:38.199
<v Speaker 2>Well, she's hidden for the past thirty four I don't

127
00:07:38.199 --> 00:07:40.879
<v Speaker 2>know whether I'm not going to pass judgment on whether

128
00:07:40.959 --> 00:07:44.879
<v Speaker 2>or not she is capable or not. You know, they

129
00:07:45.000 --> 00:07:47.199
<v Speaker 2>like to say in investing, the past performance is not

130
00:07:47.279 --> 00:07:51.160
<v Speaker 2>indicative of future results, or proof of future results, or

131
00:07:51.199 --> 00:07:53.079
<v Speaker 2>promise the future results. But in the past, when she

132
00:07:53.160 --> 00:07:56.720
<v Speaker 2>sat down for interviews, even with relatively friendly or certainly

133
00:07:56.720 --> 00:08:00.600
<v Speaker 2>not adversarial journalists, she's done quite She's done quite poorly.

134
00:08:01.199 --> 00:08:04.839
<v Speaker 2>I e. Lester Holt, let me just play this out

135
00:08:04.879 --> 00:08:06.720
<v Speaker 2>for you. She said, she's going to do an interview

136
00:08:06.759 --> 00:08:08.639
<v Speaker 2>before the end of August, so let's take her to work.

137
00:08:08.720 --> 00:08:12.360
<v Speaker 2>She does an interview next week. It's fairly pleasant. It's

138
00:08:12.360 --> 00:08:14.439
<v Speaker 2>with Tim Walls, it's with Doug em Hoff, It's with

139
00:08:14.560 --> 00:08:19.079
<v Speaker 2>Walls's wife. It's about their newfound joy in campaigning and

140
00:08:19.120 --> 00:08:22.319
<v Speaker 2>how these two families, you know, one sort of the

141
00:08:22.759 --> 00:08:26.319
<v Speaker 2>coastal liberal leade of m Hoff and Harris versus Walls

142
00:08:26.360 --> 00:08:29.199
<v Speaker 2>and his wife, the teachers from Minnesota have have found

143
00:08:29.240 --> 00:08:33.440
<v Speaker 2>this common ground in this view of America that involves sunshine,

144
00:08:33.559 --> 00:08:37.919
<v Speaker 2>unicorns and pots of gold, and they are they all uh,

145
00:08:38.639 --> 00:08:41.679
<v Speaker 2>you know, play bridge together or whatever it is. In

146
00:08:41.720 --> 00:08:44.039
<v Speaker 2>the interview that they set up that the families now

147
00:08:44.080 --> 00:08:46.960
<v Speaker 2>get along so well. Fine. Then you get to Labor day,

148
00:08:47.279 --> 00:08:49.279
<v Speaker 2>everyone will have forgotten about the interview because it will

149
00:08:49.320 --> 00:08:51.240
<v Speaker 2>have been something like the vanilla ice cream cone you

150
00:08:51.279 --> 00:08:55.399
<v Speaker 2>had as you finished out summer. Then we get to

151
00:08:57.080 --> 00:09:00.799
<v Speaker 2>Labor Day and the next week she can't do any

152
00:09:00.840 --> 00:09:03.399
<v Speaker 2>interviews because she's got the debate. She does well in

153
00:09:03.440 --> 00:09:05.639
<v Speaker 2>the debate, she won't have to do another interview. No,

154
00:09:05.799 --> 00:09:07.120
<v Speaker 2>she does poorly in the debate, she.

155
00:09:07.120 --> 00:09:11.240
<v Speaker 3>Might And the thing is always it's a referendum on

156
00:09:11.559 --> 00:09:15.159
<v Speaker 3>the current administration. So in historically it is quite rare

157
00:09:15.600 --> 00:09:17.440
<v Speaker 3>for a VP to come out of the shadow of

158
00:09:17.480 --> 00:09:20.519
<v Speaker 3>the president and win. Just in recent history. You might

159
00:09:20.559 --> 00:09:26.879
<v Speaker 3>go back to Eisenhower with Richard Nixon lost in nineteen sixty.

160
00:09:26.960 --> 00:09:31.639
<v Speaker 3>You were Humphrey after LBJ lost to Nixon in sixty eight.

161
00:09:32.000 --> 00:09:36.279
<v Speaker 3>Later on you have Mondale, the VP of Carter losing

162
00:09:36.320 --> 00:09:39.480
<v Speaker 3>in eighty four. The only successful one because it was

163
00:09:39.519 --> 00:09:42.840
<v Speaker 3>a referendum on the administration of Ronald Reagan, was nineteen

164
00:09:42.879 --> 00:09:45.840
<v Speaker 3>eighty eight with Bush forty one. He won. Then after

165
00:09:45.879 --> 00:09:50.440
<v Speaker 3>that VP Gore runs on his own and loses to Bush.

166
00:09:50.519 --> 00:09:54.440
<v Speaker 3>And then you have, of course, this VP is running

167
00:09:54.720 --> 00:09:58.240
<v Speaker 3>and the shadows of Joe Biden. Isn't this going to

168
00:09:58.240 --> 00:10:01.799
<v Speaker 3>be a referendum on the on the last four years

169
00:10:02.240 --> 00:10:05.799
<v Speaker 3>whether Kamala Harris and Joe Biden did a good job

170
00:10:05.840 --> 00:10:10.399
<v Speaker 3>and deserve more? Or can she can she get rid

171
00:10:10.440 --> 00:10:13.960
<v Speaker 3>of can she shed the idea that I'm not Joe Biden,

172
00:10:14.000 --> 00:10:17.039
<v Speaker 3>I'm not the old Kamala Harris. I'm the new Kamala

173
00:10:17.080 --> 00:10:19.279
<v Speaker 3>Harris and I want to spend a lot more money.

174
00:10:19.559 --> 00:10:22.720
<v Speaker 3>Isn't this a referendum on the last four years of

175
00:10:22.799 --> 00:10:25.759
<v Speaker 3>Kamala Harris and the fact that seventy percent of us

176
00:10:25.759 --> 00:10:28.879
<v Speaker 3>are so believe America is on the wrong course. Isn't

177
00:10:28.879 --> 00:10:30.399
<v Speaker 3>that a millstone around her neck?

178
00:10:32.279 --> 00:10:36.879
<v Speaker 2>Well, I'm going to reject the premise of your question

179
00:10:38.600 --> 00:10:42.519
<v Speaker 2>and answer and answer in a way that I would like,

180
00:10:42.840 --> 00:10:47.120
<v Speaker 2>which is to say that if you are correct, and

181
00:10:47.159 --> 00:10:50.639
<v Speaker 2>it is a referendum on Joe Biden in the past

182
00:10:50.679 --> 00:10:54.879
<v Speaker 2>four years, pauland tells us Kamala Harris will lose if

183
00:10:55.080 --> 00:10:59.360
<v Speaker 2>it is a referendum on Donald Trump's temperament and mean tweets,

184
00:11:00.320 --> 00:11:05.279
<v Speaker 2>Donald Trump will lose. So who defines the field of

185
00:11:05.279 --> 00:11:08.720
<v Speaker 2>battle in politics, defines the race? You know? Tell me?

186
00:11:08.840 --> 00:11:10.799
<v Speaker 2>Tell me? And I'm trying to remember the name of

187
00:11:10.840 --> 00:11:14.919
<v Speaker 2>the pollster that said this, but it's genius. Tell me,

188
00:11:15.320 --> 00:11:19.399
<v Speaker 2>tell me the field of battle, tell me who defined

189
00:11:19.480 --> 00:11:22.240
<v Speaker 2>my candidate, and tell me who defines the opposition, and

190
00:11:22.279 --> 00:11:25.519
<v Speaker 2>I'll tell you who wins. That's what politics is about.

191
00:11:26.120 --> 00:11:32.759
<v Speaker 2>So if if if Donald Trump and his supporters are

192
00:11:32.879 --> 00:11:36.279
<v Speaker 2>able to hang the past four years as a millstone

193
00:11:36.279 --> 00:11:40.159
<v Speaker 2>around Kamala Harris's neck, then Kamala Harris will lose. It's

194
00:11:40.200 --> 00:11:44.879
<v Speaker 2>pretty simple. If Kamala Harris, as she tried last night,

195
00:11:45.000 --> 00:11:49.600
<v Speaker 2>is able to shed that and and somehow create and

196
00:11:49.639 --> 00:11:53.279
<v Speaker 2>we wrote in war Notes my subscription service UH a

197
00:11:53.480 --> 00:11:59.679
<v Speaker 2>free subscription newsletter email that the Democrats with hope that

198
00:11:59.679 --> 00:12:02.399
<v Speaker 2>America has a sense of amnesia. If you listened to

199
00:12:02.440 --> 00:12:04.720
<v Speaker 2>her last night, it.

200
00:12:04.840 --> 00:12:09.080
<v Speaker 1>Was as though Donald Trump was the incumbent, right, And

201
00:12:09.159 --> 00:12:12.879
<v Speaker 1>if that is how the race is framed, then she

202
00:12:13.000 --> 00:12:16.240
<v Speaker 1>will win because people are unhappy and she's offering something different.

203
00:12:17.000 --> 00:12:20.320
<v Speaker 3>The big issue is almost always the personal economy of

204
00:12:20.360 --> 00:12:25.559
<v Speaker 3>an individual voter determines the ballot. So if this battlefield

205
00:12:25.879 --> 00:12:29.080
<v Speaker 3>will be what is the status of the economy, what

206
00:12:29.279 --> 00:12:32.200
<v Speaker 3>is the status of inflation that continues to be stubbornly

207
00:12:32.279 --> 00:12:35.440
<v Speaker 3>high especially when it comes to food and energy, and

208
00:12:35.519 --> 00:12:39.200
<v Speaker 3>if it's the status of illegal immigration. If Donald Trump

209
00:12:39.279 --> 00:12:43.919
<v Speaker 3>can fight on immigration, the economy and inflation and there's

210
00:12:43.919 --> 00:12:47.000
<v Speaker 3>no and Americans care about foreign policy but not really.

211
00:12:47.279 --> 00:12:49.399
<v Speaker 3>I think most of us could not locate Gaza on

212
00:12:49.440 --> 00:12:53.080
<v Speaker 3>a map or Ukraine, but they're terribly important. But nonetheless,

213
00:12:53.120 --> 00:12:57.440
<v Speaker 3>most Americans think, how's my personal circumstances, how's my job?

214
00:12:57.840 --> 00:13:00.879
<v Speaker 3>How much? How bad is inflation? And do I perceive

215
00:13:00.960 --> 00:13:05.759
<v Speaker 3>the southern border and collapse? And Kamala Harris was in charge. Therefore,

216
00:13:06.320 --> 00:13:09.720
<v Speaker 3>Kamala Harris can't win. On the other hand, if the

217
00:13:09.840 --> 00:13:12.519
<v Speaker 3>media and Kamala Harris want to talk about the temperament

218
00:13:12.559 --> 00:13:17.200
<v Speaker 3>of Donald Trump and mean tweets and insults, and then

219
00:13:17.279 --> 00:13:19.480
<v Speaker 3>Kamala Harris can win and we continue on the same

220
00:13:19.559 --> 00:13:21.679
<v Speaker 3>course for the next four years. I think at the

221
00:13:21.799 --> 00:13:24.320
<v Speaker 3>end of the day, I hope that the American people

222
00:13:24.320 --> 00:13:27.399
<v Speaker 3>look at their personal lives and say, we can't continue

223
00:13:27.440 --> 00:13:30.159
<v Speaker 3>like this. There's a whole bunch of people living quite well.

224
00:13:30.600 --> 00:13:33.440
<v Speaker 3>I think you and me included. However, there's a whole

225
00:13:33.679 --> 00:13:36.519
<v Speaker 3>tens of millions of Americans that worry about how much

226
00:13:36.559 --> 00:13:39.480
<v Speaker 3>rent's going up and what it costs to buy a

227
00:13:39.519 --> 00:13:42.600
<v Speaker 3>home and interest rates that continue to be stubbornly high.

228
00:13:42.879 --> 00:13:46.159
<v Speaker 3>There's a perception that illegal immigration is destroying the fabric

229
00:13:46.559 --> 00:13:49.480
<v Speaker 3>of our country. There's a sense that utility bills I

230
00:13:49.519 --> 00:13:52.960
<v Speaker 3>know and my Cincinnati utility bills have gone up thirty

231
00:13:53.000 --> 00:13:57.159
<v Speaker 3>percent in the past three years. And the pass through effect.

232
00:13:57.240 --> 00:13:59.320
<v Speaker 3>If you look at that, if people sit down around

233
00:13:59.360 --> 00:14:02.039
<v Speaker 3>the kitchen tape and say, am I better off today

234
00:14:02.080 --> 00:14:05.759
<v Speaker 3>than I was four years ago? The majority Americans would say, no,

235
00:14:05.879 --> 00:14:08.840
<v Speaker 3>I'm not better off. Your analysis please.

236
00:14:10.320 --> 00:14:14.759
<v Speaker 2>All very fine points. Fifty percent of Americans tell pollsters

237
00:14:14.799 --> 00:14:18.320
<v Speaker 2>that they believe they're broke. Roughly two thirds say they

238
00:14:18.360 --> 00:14:24.799
<v Speaker 2>love paycheck to paycheck. So that's where you're walking into this.

239
00:14:26.559 --> 00:14:29.240
<v Speaker 2>When it comes to foreign policy, I would say how

240
00:14:29.279 --> 00:14:33.879
<v Speaker 2>people feel is quite important. Whether they feel safe, whether

241
00:14:33.879 --> 00:14:37.279
<v Speaker 2>they feel America is strong. You're old enough to remember.

242
00:14:36.960 --> 00:14:37.320
<v Speaker 3>I am not.

243
00:14:37.399 --> 00:14:41.159
<v Speaker 2>The nineteen eighty election, there was both an economic component

244
00:14:41.240 --> 00:14:45.039
<v Speaker 2>and a foreign policy component. Monday is the third anniversary

245
00:14:45.080 --> 00:14:48.159
<v Speaker 2>of the Abbey Gate bombing in Afghanistan, thirteen Americans killed

246
00:14:48.200 --> 00:14:53.960
<v Speaker 2>during the Biden Harris withdrawal from Afghanistan. Noteworthy that that

247
00:14:54.200 --> 00:14:57.159
<v Speaker 2>was not discussed last night, Right in terms of all

248
00:14:57.159 --> 00:14:59.600
<v Speaker 2>the foreign policy things that Kamala Harris talked about. But

249
00:14:59.639 --> 00:15:01.879
<v Speaker 2>I would I would go one step further with you.

250
00:15:03.000 --> 00:15:06.600
<v Speaker 2>We watched Donald Trump last night or yesterday break all

251
00:15:06.600 --> 00:15:10.120
<v Speaker 2>the norms and have an event on the Thursday of

252
00:15:10.159 --> 00:15:13.120
<v Speaker 2>the opposition candidate's convention. Right, you remember back in the

253
00:15:13.200 --> 00:15:16.159
<v Speaker 2>day the candidates took this. Okay, He went down to

254
00:15:16.200 --> 00:15:18.399
<v Speaker 2>the border, and this is where he was going to

255
00:15:18.440 --> 00:15:21.240
<v Speaker 2>stake his claim that the border was where the Biden

256
00:15:21.240 --> 00:15:25.519
<v Speaker 2>Harris administration failed the most. And he was going to

257
00:15:25.840 --> 00:15:28.360
<v Speaker 2>make the point that under Donald Trump, the border is

258
00:15:28.399 --> 00:15:31.799
<v Speaker 2>going to be closed as opposed to the person he

259
00:15:31.879 --> 00:15:34.200
<v Speaker 2>was running against it. And I will ask you, Bill Cunningham,

260
00:15:34.240 --> 00:15:38.519
<v Speaker 2>the Great American, how long did it take in Donald

261
00:15:38.559 --> 00:15:41.840
<v Speaker 2>Trump's remarks at the border? All the network cameras were there,

262
00:15:41.879 --> 00:15:43.799
<v Speaker 2>everybody was watching him. How long did it take for

263
00:15:43.879 --> 00:15:45.279
<v Speaker 2>him to say Kamala Harris's name?

264
00:15:46.960 --> 00:15:48.279
<v Speaker 3>About ten seconds?

265
00:15:49.080 --> 00:15:55.200
<v Speaker 2>Nope, eleven minutes, eleven minutes, eleven minutes. He complained about Joe,

266
00:15:55.240 --> 00:15:57.559
<v Speaker 2>He complained that he wasn't running against Joe Biden anymore.

267
00:15:57.720 --> 00:16:00.240
<v Speaker 2>He complained about how unfair it was. He had all

268
00:16:00.279 --> 00:16:03.279
<v Speaker 2>sorts of grievances that had absolutely nothing to do with

269
00:16:03.399 --> 00:16:06.240
<v Speaker 2>the issues that you just brought up that matter to Americans.

270
00:16:07.480 --> 00:16:11.120
<v Speaker 2>Those are the issues. Those are the if he's but

271
00:16:11.200 --> 00:16:16.159
<v Speaker 2>if he's unable to prosecute that case rather than prosecuting

272
00:16:16.240 --> 00:16:21.159
<v Speaker 2>his own grievances. Americans care about the future, They care

273
00:16:21.200 --> 00:16:23.799
<v Speaker 2>about themselves. They do not care about Donald trump'scruvances. And

274
00:16:23.840 --> 00:16:26.320
<v Speaker 2>I think for Republicans, they've got to take a straw,

275
00:16:26.600 --> 00:16:29.039
<v Speaker 2>a hard look at the next seventy seventy five days

276
00:16:29.039 --> 00:16:33.080
<v Speaker 2>and say, in this candidate, which is what Donald Trump is?

277
00:16:33.519 --> 00:16:37.600
<v Speaker 2>Can he meet Americans where they're at? And where they're

278
00:16:37.639 --> 00:16:40.879
<v Speaker 2>at is not Donald Trump's grievances. They're the issues you

279
00:16:40.919 --> 00:16:41.320
<v Speaker 2>brought up.

280
00:16:41.559 --> 00:16:43.960
<v Speaker 3>And I would have tied Kamala Harris from the get go.

281
00:16:44.559 --> 00:16:46.480
<v Speaker 3>I didn't watch the whole thing. I watched some of it.

282
00:16:46.480 --> 00:16:50.720
<v Speaker 3>I'm doing other stuff, But nonetheless, that's Kamala Harris's border.

283
00:16:50.879 --> 00:16:54.240
<v Speaker 3>Those victims are Kamala Harris's victims. And I would have

284
00:16:54.279 --> 00:16:56.919
<v Speaker 3>pointed out that she was smoking pot when she was

285
00:16:56.960 --> 00:17:00.480
<v Speaker 3>prosecuting a thousand black men for smoking pot, and I

286
00:17:00.480 --> 00:17:03.320
<v Speaker 3>would have stayed on Kamala Harris completely ignored Joe Biden

287
00:17:03.639 --> 00:17:05.799
<v Speaker 3>and Kamala Harris gave an interview in what she said,

288
00:17:05.839 --> 00:17:07.559
<v Speaker 3>I was in the room, the last person in the

289
00:17:07.640 --> 00:17:10.759
<v Speaker 3>room when the President Joe Biden decided to do what

290
00:17:10.839 --> 00:17:13.400
<v Speaker 3>he did in Afghanistan. I would have tie that around

291
00:17:13.480 --> 00:17:17.680
<v Speaker 3>or two. And he's got a prospecte a eleven minutes.

292
00:17:17.920 --> 00:17:20.119
<v Speaker 3>It's got to be eleven seconds, got to be like,

293
00:17:20.559 --> 00:17:23.319
<v Speaker 3>this is Kamala Harris's border right here, because you're not

294
00:17:23.359 --> 00:17:26.240
<v Speaker 3>running against Joe Biden anymore. Well, Leland, we got to run.

295
00:17:26.279 --> 00:17:28.720
<v Speaker 3>It's great stuff. And uh, I guess we're blessed to

296
00:17:28.720 --> 00:17:31.279
<v Speaker 3>live in interesting times and I at times wish they

297
00:17:31.279 --> 00:17:32.279
<v Speaker 3>weren't so interesting.

298
00:17:32.759 --> 00:17:37.279
<v Speaker 2>But uh well, you know you know what, Bill, The

299
00:17:37.279 --> 00:17:38.720
<v Speaker 2>other way to look at it is, we live in

300
00:17:38.759 --> 00:17:42.319
