Initially, 15 00:00:53.439 --> 00:00:57.000 we have the sound bites from the President today, obviously, 16 00:00:57.600 --> 00:01:00.840 who had some questions thrown at him at an event 17 00:01:00.960 --> 00:01:03.039 at the White House this afternoon. So we had that. 18 00:01:03.479 --> 00:01:05.599 But more importantly, we want to get this many of 19 00:01:05.640 --> 00:01:10.439 you in on. This is your faith restored in Certainly 20 00:01:10.719 --> 00:01:14.480 Donald Trump was not looking particularly good when after the 21 00:01:14.519 --> 00:01:18.439 stock market had had lost you know somewhere don close 22 00:01:18.480 --> 00:01:24.959 to ten percent over four trading days. Let me let 23 00:01:24.959 --> 00:01:27.760 me get going here. Six one, seven, two, five, four, ten, 24 00:01:27.879 --> 00:01:33.439 thirty six seven. Nobody can predict the stock market, yet 25 00:01:33.439 --> 00:01:36.239 we all have opinions, so all opinions are equal. Let 26 00:01:36.280 --> 00:01:39.439 me go to Riccardo in Grotton. Hey, Ricardo, welcome. 27 00:01:39.159 --> 00:01:42.159 How are you hey? First time camer. 28 00:01:42.400 --> 00:01:45.000 Well, thank you very much. Always great to hear first, 29 00:01:45.000 --> 00:01:48.319 Doc Gallers, and I'm delighted that you joined us. Go ahead, Riccardo, 30 00:01:48.359 --> 00:01:49.519 what's your take on all of this? 31 00:01:50.359 --> 00:01:54.599 Well? I have two things. He's Trump is a golfer, 32 00:01:55.640 --> 00:02:02.120 and they and uh a scam artist. And I put 33 00:02:02.159 --> 00:02:05.920 those two things together, and I think that we we've 34 00:02:05.959 --> 00:02:09.680 all just willingness an incredible game of poker. 35 00:02:11.960 --> 00:02:17.479 Okay, I I understand. I don't believe he's a scam artist, 36 00:02:17.520 --> 00:02:20.560 although I see he certainly has run you know, the 37 00:02:20.599 --> 00:02:24.439 Trump universities and h you hear the ads about the 38 00:02:24.560 --> 00:02:27.479 super Trump watches and all of that. I understand, But 39 00:02:27.560 --> 00:02:30.000 I think the phrase game artist is a little strong. 40 00:02:30.400 --> 00:02:31.439 But that's your opinion. 41 00:02:31.560 --> 00:02:33.039 I agree it's a little strong. 42 00:02:33.400 --> 00:02:36.960 It's okay, but that's your that's your opinion. And he 43 00:02:37.039 --> 00:02:41.039 is and he is a golfer, but he's gambler more 44 00:02:41.080 --> 00:02:45.039 than anything. In my opinion, If if this works for him, 45 00:02:45.439 --> 00:02:48.199 and if he's able to do what he says he 46 00:02:48.280 --> 00:02:51.319 wants to do, which is to reduce the federal debt 47 00:02:51.400 --> 00:02:54.319 and also bring manufacturing back to America, he becomes sort 48 00:02:54.319 --> 00:03:00.120 of a transitional president on the level of other transitional presidents. 49 00:03:00.120 --> 00:03:04.439 Like, yes, I've gotten a lot of a lot more 50 00:03:04.479 --> 00:03:11.120 respect for him, lightly than I had. But you know, 51 00:03:12.479 --> 00:03:14.879 I think he's been playing poker with China. 52 00:03:16.039 --> 00:03:18.800 Well, definitely definitely doing that. I mean, this is this, 53 00:03:18.800 --> 00:03:22.000 this is the stair doown. And one of the concerns 54 00:03:22.560 --> 00:03:25.520 I think that he has is and I'm I don't 55 00:03:25.560 --> 00:03:27.599 know what, what do you think about this? But you've 56 00:03:27.599 --> 00:03:31.159 got Taiwan sitting off the coast of China. Pretty clear 57 00:03:31.199 --> 00:03:32.960 to me that China would love to be able to 58 00:03:33.400 --> 00:03:37.840 bring Taiwan back into the UH, into the People's Republic. 59 00:03:38.159 --> 00:03:43.159 It's a it's an independent country. And well they they 60 00:03:43.439 --> 00:03:46.319 they may try, but I don't know we could allow 61 00:03:46.400 --> 00:03:51.039 that to happen until we can get chip manufacturing back 62 00:03:51.080 --> 00:03:54.400 in this country. I mean, we got there have been 63 00:03:54.439 --> 00:03:57.240 a bunch of presidents who have made some bad decisions 64 00:03:57.319 --> 00:03:59.120 and we can you know, you can look back and 65 00:03:59.159 --> 00:04:01.199 he can say, well, you know, the twenty years that 66 00:04:01.199 --> 00:04:03.319 we spent in Iraq and Afghanistan. We had to do 67 00:04:03.360 --> 00:04:05.719 it after nine to eleven, but boy, it seemed that 68 00:04:07.120 --> 00:04:09.680 a lot of money, a lot of lives expended, and 69 00:04:10.080 --> 00:04:11.719 at the end of the day we were we were 70 00:04:11.759 --> 00:04:13.960 coming home with our tail between our legs. And so 71 00:04:14.319 --> 00:04:19.120 you look at that, you know, have we lost prestige 72 00:04:19.160 --> 00:04:22.360 in the world stage. There's little things that I see, 73 00:04:22.360 --> 00:04:23.759 I don't know about you regarding. 74 00:04:23.439 --> 00:04:27.279 Them, but that's that's been part of this strategy. His 75 00:04:27.399 --> 00:04:34.160 strategy has been to look very haphazard and unpredictable, and. 76 00:04:34.240 --> 00:04:40.720 He is okay, so so the unpredictability, I think right now, 77 00:04:41.240 --> 00:04:45.959 he's disappointed that putin is uh has not complied with 78 00:04:46.120 --> 00:04:51.319 the seafire in Ukraine, so he's disappointed there. He's fighting 79 00:04:51.360 --> 00:04:55.319 with federal judges over all sorts of issues, you know, 80 00:04:55.360 --> 00:04:59.879 whether it's the doge cots or you know, the deportations. 81 00:05:00.839 --> 00:05:06.519 Uh I, I to someone extent, don't understand why he 82 00:05:06.560 --> 00:05:11.319 has taken on all of these battles simultaneously, unless he feels. 83 00:05:11.439 --> 00:05:16.240 That he only has about another year or so to 84 00:05:16.240 --> 00:05:19.800 to put some wins up on the board, or as 85 00:05:20.000 --> 00:05:27.439 most presidents have a bad turnaround in those off year elections. 86 00:05:27.639 --> 00:05:32.319 I think he's feeling that pressure. I I it's pretty complex, Ricardo. 87 00:05:32.600 --> 00:05:33.519 Did you vote for him? 88 00:05:33.519 --> 00:05:39.000 And no, no, I didn't. Okay, But like I said, 89 00:05:39.439 --> 00:05:42.839 I A teed him has gone up. I think his 90 00:05:43.000 --> 00:05:51.639 strategy is to look helter skelter and he has having 91 00:05:52.480 --> 00:05:55.120 the tariffs go on and off, and. 92 00:05:57.120 --> 00:06:02.000 You know, he's there's an unpredictable here and that in 93 00:06:02.160 --> 00:06:04.199 of itself is going to cause the stock market to 94 00:06:04.399 --> 00:06:07.079 to uh to shake. 95 00:06:08.199 --> 00:06:15.959 Yeah, well he he's uh, he's working in China and uh, 96 00:06:17.160 --> 00:06:18.040 China's de Mark. 97 00:06:20.000 --> 00:06:23.839 Ricardo, let me ask you one question. Yeah, who would 98 00:06:23.839 --> 00:06:25.879 you rather have? I know you told me you voted 99 00:06:25.879 --> 00:06:28.759 for him, but who would you Who would you go 100 00:06:28.839 --> 00:06:32.480 to sleep tonight more comfortable knowing Donald Trump or Joe 101 00:06:32.519 --> 00:06:36.480 Biden was in the White House Right now? 102 00:06:36.920 --> 00:06:40.439 Donald Trump has started something and he's going to finish it. 103 00:06:41.319 --> 00:06:44.240 Well, we'll see, we'll see. Ricardo, thank you very much. 104 00:06:44.319 --> 00:06:48.000 Always great to hear from first time callers. Thanks for listening, 105 00:06:48.160 --> 00:06:50.319 and come on back soon. Okay, look forward to your 106 00:06:50.319 --> 00:06:51.120 second time call. 107 00:06:52.240 --> 00:06:54.000 All right, I look forward to too. 108 00:06:54.199 --> 00:06:57.079 Thanks. You have a great night, all right, go and 109 00:06:57.120 --> 00:07:02.800 take a break here six I got a bunch of 110 00:07:02.839 --> 00:07:06.360 open lines here. Don't be intimidated. I think some of 111 00:07:06.439 --> 00:07:09.079 you think, well, this is over my head, this is 112 00:07:09.120 --> 00:07:13.959 the economy. No, this is your life, this is your country, 113 00:07:14.040 --> 00:07:18.000 and this is your future. And whatever your instinct is. 114 00:07:18.160 --> 00:07:21.800 If you feel better today, or if you feel that 115 00:07:21.839 --> 00:07:26.240 today was a uh it's sometimes called the dead cat 116 00:07:26.360 --> 00:07:29.800 bounce on Wall Street. Uh. And you think that that 117 00:07:29.879 --> 00:07:34.680 this is temporary, feel free if you feel that the 118 00:07:34.720 --> 00:07:39.079 president has has has done what he has to do, 119 00:07:39.240 --> 00:07:42.639 and he's got to do it quickly because time runs out. 120 00:07:43.000 --> 00:07:47.319 He's a second term president. He's not a first term president. 121 00:07:47.319 --> 00:07:52.160 He's a second term president, which puts him at a 122 00:07:52.199 --> 00:07:58.600 particular disadvantage politically. Sounds to me like he's trying to 123 00:07:58.600 --> 00:08:01.639 to erase that disadvantage. That's my thought. But I'm more 124 00:08:01.680 --> 00:08:04.759 interested in yours. Here the number six, one, seven, two, five, four, 125 00:08:04.839 --> 00:08:07.759 ten thirty, six one seven, nine, three, one, ten thirty, 126 00:08:07.759 --> 00:08:10.439 it got some wide open lines. Please, don't be intimidated. 127 00:08:10.680 --> 00:08:13.839 So far, the ladies have been very quiet on this issue. 128 00:08:14.560 --> 00:08:19.199 Most you know, this is this is our future, this 129 00:08:19.319 --> 00:08:23.240 is our country, and whether you like him or not, 130 00:08:23.480 --> 00:08:25.680 he is the president of the United States and he 131 00:08:25.720 --> 00:08:29.519 has been elected, and just as we had Joe Biden, 132 00:08:29.759 --> 00:08:32.480 we now have Donald Trump. And I want to hear 133 00:08:32.519 --> 00:08:35.840 from you whatever your opinion is. Today was a good 134 00:08:35.919 --> 00:08:37.919 day for the stock market. When it's a good day 135 00:08:37.960 --> 00:08:41.200 for the stock market, it's a good day for America. 136 00:08:41.279 --> 00:08:44.399 How when it can it last? Is this an aberration 137 00:08:45.080 --> 00:08:47.799 or does this I think it was a brilliant move 138 00:08:48.279 --> 00:08:51.600 and it's show something that probably should have been Maybe 139 00:08:51.639 --> 00:08:55.279 it was anticipated that this ninety day, if you want 140 00:08:55.320 --> 00:08:59.759 to call it a cooling off period, it's an opportunity 141 00:08:59.799 --> 00:09:03.480 for him to get to some agreements and negotiations with 142 00:09:03.600 --> 00:09:07.480 other countries. And what is wrong with saying to another country, look, 143 00:09:07.639 --> 00:09:11.120 we will not charge you tariffs on your products coming 144 00:09:11.159 --> 00:09:15.960 into America if you do not charge us a tariff 145 00:09:16.039 --> 00:09:19.200 of our products coming into your country. I think that's 146 00:09:19.200 --> 00:09:22.000 where he would like to get I don't know if 147 00:09:22.000 --> 00:09:24.799 he can get there, but it's going to be interesting 148 00:09:24.840 --> 00:09:28.639 to watch. Join the conversation six one, seven, two, five, 149 00:09:28.679 --> 00:09:31.320 four ten thirty six one seven, nine, three, one ten thirty. 150 00:09:31.559 --> 00:09:33.960 Do not be shy coming back on Nightside. 151 00:09:34.679 --> 00:09:38.919 You're on night Side with Dan Ray on WBZ, Boston's 152 00:09:38.960 --> 00:09:39.600 news radio. 153 00:09:40.639 --> 00:09:42.240 Okay, back to the cause you're going to go to 154 00:09:42.279 --> 00:09:44.879 Peter in New York. Peter love to know your thoughts 155 00:09:44.960 --> 00:09:48.120 on the last few days, the last week, for that matter. 156 00:09:48.200 --> 00:09:48.720 What do you think. 157 00:09:49.840 --> 00:09:51.919 Well, I was going to call you about something else 158 00:09:52.000 --> 00:09:57.679 that you talked about earlier. Sure, you mentioned when when 159 00:09:57.799 --> 00:10:01.039 they took the drug companies out of Puerto Rico after 160 00:10:01.159 --> 00:10:02.960 they made that deal with Puerto Rico. 161 00:10:03.480 --> 00:10:06.679 Yeah, why did they do that? 162 00:10:06.840 --> 00:10:10.000 They screwed Puerto Rico. Those buildings are still empty. 163 00:10:10.519 --> 00:10:12.360 Yeah. It was nineteen ninety six and it was a 164 00:10:12.440 --> 00:10:15.879 coalition of Republicans and Democrats. It was not you know, led, 165 00:10:16.039 --> 00:10:20.120 It was Gingrich and Bill Clinton and Democrats and Republicans. 166 00:10:20.519 --> 00:10:22.320 I've looked at the vote, and of course a lot 167 00:10:22.360 --> 00:10:24.919 of those members of Congress are now gone. But it 168 00:10:25.080 --> 00:10:28.879 was an interesting for sure. But yeah, I mean that'says 169 00:10:29.320 --> 00:10:33.279 thirty years ago, but there were a lot of twenty 170 00:10:34.200 --> 00:10:37.799 twenty eight years ago. But it was just interesting to 171 00:10:37.919 --> 00:10:42.159 see this coalition because normally it's the Democrats on one side. 172 00:10:42.200 --> 00:10:47.679 Republicans say, this was intermixed. I don't understand it. I 173 00:10:47.759 --> 00:10:52.440 guess you'd have to trail Paola. Well, I don't have 174 00:10:52.480 --> 00:10:56.360 any proof of that. Well, I get you. I understand 175 00:10:56.399 --> 00:10:58.120 what you're saying about. I don't have any I don't 176 00:10:58.159 --> 00:10:59.919 have any proof of that. It just looks in retro 177 00:11:00.039 --> 00:11:03.279 expect like and certainly during COVID, that's when it became 178 00:11:03.399 --> 00:11:08.159 pretty apparent to me that our UH supply lines were 179 00:11:08.320 --> 00:11:11.279 just too far extended. It's the simplest act. I wonder 180 00:11:11.399 --> 00:11:14.759 if China were to were to invade Taiwan, what the 181 00:11:14.799 --> 00:11:15.960 hell are we going to do about it? 182 00:11:16.639 --> 00:11:25.600 I mean, well is down so much, it's terrible. 183 00:11:28.799 --> 00:11:32.320 Oh that's I mean, that's something. Maybe he's aware of that, 184 00:11:32.440 --> 00:11:36.240 he's trying to buy some time. I don't know. Well, 185 00:11:37.320 --> 00:11:42.559 I understand that point of view. I'm I'm withholding judgment. 186 00:11:42.639 --> 00:11:46.639 To be really honest with you, he's either the smartest 187 00:11:46.679 --> 00:11:51.039 guy but but his or or he's somebody who has 188 00:11:51.240 --> 00:11:55.000 just puffed himself up and I and I know that 189 00:11:55.320 --> 00:11:57.080 people are going to say to me, Daniel a fool 190 00:11:57.120 --> 00:11:57.799 to even say that. 191 00:11:59.080 --> 00:12:02.440 No, you're not, that's who he was. 192 00:12:02.919 --> 00:12:06.360 I could give you a history. No, I know the history. 193 00:12:06.799 --> 00:12:09.039 I know the history. He's a New Yorker, Peter, you're 194 00:12:09.080 --> 00:12:09.759 a New Yorker. 195 00:12:09.960 --> 00:12:12.480 No, No, he's worse than that. He got thrown out 196 00:12:12.480 --> 00:12:17.799 of high school. He father bought him five deferments to 197 00:12:17.919 --> 00:12:19.120 keep that as a military. 198 00:12:19.360 --> 00:12:23.440 Yeah. I understand that. I do understand all of that. 199 00:12:23.600 --> 00:12:29.360 But the question is, he's what we have right now exactly. 200 00:12:30.120 --> 00:12:32.440 We're stuck with him. What do you do about? I mean, 201 00:12:32.799 --> 00:12:35.200 what do you do? Find find the tallest building and 202 00:12:35.320 --> 00:12:41.080 jump off. No, no, no. He surrounded himself with much 203 00:12:41.279 --> 00:12:45.360 better people, in my opinion, in this administration that he 204 00:12:45.480 --> 00:12:51.639 did in the first apartment. Okay, good, would you agree? 205 00:12:51.679 --> 00:12:54.879 And no, I don't know anything about them? 206 00:12:55.519 --> 00:12:56.320 Well, I don't know. 207 00:12:56.679 --> 00:12:58.360 I think he's I hate him. 208 00:12:59.399 --> 00:13:03.679 Okayspies the man. Don't be blinded, Peter, don't be blinded 209 00:13:03.720 --> 00:13:07.120 by your hate. Okay, I mean, let's you know, let's uh. Look. 210 00:13:07.279 --> 00:13:10.200 I wasn't a fan of Joe Biden. Joe Biden was there, 211 00:13:10.360 --> 00:13:14.679 that professional politician who eventually kind of in the Peter principle, 212 00:13:15.120 --> 00:13:18.279 rose up with the Democratic Party. But hey, he was 213 00:13:18.320 --> 00:13:20.879 our president. I was rooting for him to be scassful. 214 00:13:21.200 --> 00:13:22.799 I think you got to do that, even if you 215 00:13:22.879 --> 00:13:26.960 don't know. I with you, all right, Peter was always 216 00:13:27.000 --> 00:13:31.000 great to hear you boys. Keep keep you to my friend, 217 00:13:31.080 --> 00:13:33.840 you'd be well. Everything going well, I hope you personally better. 218 00:13:34.919 --> 00:13:35.879 I'm still fighting that. 219 00:13:38.120 --> 00:13:41.320 Okay, Well, just hang in there, man, summer's coming. Let's 220 00:13:41.879 --> 00:13:45.639 enjoy this summer. Okay, thanks, Peter, absolutely, good night. Let 221 00:13:45.679 --> 00:13:48.200 me go next to Colleen in Boston. Colleen, you were 222 00:13:48.240 --> 00:13:49.399 next on nightside. Welcome? 223 00:13:51.200 --> 00:13:51.360 Was it? 224 00:13:51.440 --> 00:13:51.840 Colleen? 225 00:13:52.559 --> 00:13:54.679 That's what That's what it says on the board, Colleen, 226 00:13:54.759 --> 00:13:59.679 you tell me what it is. Sorry, Pauline, Okay, Well, 227 00:14:00.399 --> 00:14:02.639 you know Rob tells me what happens is that that 228 00:14:02.799 --> 00:14:05.639 people he asks and he confirms, and he and he 229 00:14:05.799 --> 00:14:08.320 has to spell the name. But I think you told 230 00:14:08.399 --> 00:14:12.679 him Pauline, and and he was doing it a little quickly. Pauline, welcome. 231 00:14:12.720 --> 00:14:16.519 I'm sorry to introduce you incorrectly. Go right ahead. 232 00:14:17.240 --> 00:14:20.080 Not to worry. And so you said, don't be shy. 233 00:14:20.360 --> 00:14:22.360 And I have just got a call and say, I 234 00:14:22.440 --> 00:14:24.120 can't imagine how anybody. 235 00:14:23.879 --> 00:14:25.039 Is calling this man brilliant. 236 00:14:25.720 --> 00:14:29.519 I am absolutely horrified that the American public have put 237 00:14:29.559 --> 00:14:38.600 this man in office. Well alone would would be cause 238 00:14:38.679 --> 00:14:42.919 for suspect. There are so many of them. I can't 239 00:14:43.519 --> 00:14:46.679 I can't understand how how he's in office. 240 00:14:47.440 --> 00:14:52.039 So I think let's let's be realistic for a second. 241 00:14:52.720 --> 00:14:57.080 He won an election. He won an election narrowly. There 242 00:14:57.200 --> 00:15:01.879 was no mandate, as he likes to say. However, he 243 00:15:02.039 --> 00:15:08.080 did carry these seven battleground states, which very few people 244 00:15:08.200 --> 00:15:11.519 expected either he or his Democratic opponent to carry all 245 00:15:11.639 --> 00:15:17.960 seven battleground states. So he appealed to different constituencies. He 246 00:15:18.200 --> 00:15:24.360 actually made more inroads with minority voters than any Republican 247 00:15:25.320 --> 00:15:30.639 in recent history. I've looked at the poll numbers. 248 00:15:32.480 --> 00:15:36.000 I understand. I'm not arguing with the poll numbers. However, 249 00:15:36.120 --> 00:15:39.759 even I'll start with, his story was always if he 250 00:15:39.919 --> 00:15:42.559 didn't win, he was going to say elections were fraudulent, 251 00:15:43.120 --> 00:15:44.759 and he wins, and all of a sudden they're not. 252 00:15:45.799 --> 00:15:48.559 I mean, so couldn't be more hypocritical in my view. 253 00:15:49.639 --> 00:15:52.240 He loses an election and he calls it fraudulent, he 254 00:15:52.320 --> 00:15:56.279 wins all of a sudden, Oh yeah, everything's accurate. How 255 00:15:56.399 --> 00:16:00.639 people see that as astounding to me? Let alone? You 256 00:16:00.720 --> 00:16:04.919 know the banquetcies he's got as a businessman, he's got 257 00:16:05.000 --> 00:16:08.399 a criminal conviction based on jurys of his peers. 258 00:16:08.600 --> 00:16:11.360 He doesn't have a let me correct in that, Pauline, 259 00:16:11.399 --> 00:16:15.080 he doesn't have a criminal conviction. Okay, he was. He 260 00:16:15.240 --> 00:16:19.879 lost civil lawsuits he doesn't have a criminal conviction, and I, 261 00:16:20.039 --> 00:16:22.399 just as a lawyer, I have to correct you. I 262 00:16:22.519 --> 00:16:26.600 can't let that go inaccurately. I mean, he has been 263 00:16:26.679 --> 00:16:29.799 in more court rooms than that any of us would 264 00:16:29.840 --> 00:16:33.399 care to be. And you're absolutely right on the civil 265 00:16:33.919 --> 00:16:38.600 the losses in civil cases, in terms of a defamation case, 266 00:16:38.639 --> 00:16:40.600 et cetera. You're absolutely correct with those. 267 00:16:40.639 --> 00:16:45.519 A jury of his peers. I mean again, one of 268 00:16:45.639 --> 00:16:50.919 these alone could raise an eyebrow. I am astounded, and 269 00:16:51.159 --> 00:16:53.679 quite honestly, Dan said, don't be shy. 270 00:16:53.720 --> 00:16:54.080 I won't. 271 00:16:54.399 --> 00:16:57.120 You're an intelligent man, and you do this. I can't 272 00:16:57.120 --> 00:17:00.399 believe you're thinking he's brilliant with all these things that 273 00:17:00.919 --> 00:17:06.440 he's got going against him, and just watching our economy crash. Right, Okay, 274 00:17:07.440 --> 00:17:08.519 I've just gone to the grocery. 275 00:17:08.799 --> 00:17:11.480 Let me make sure you understand what I said. Okay, 276 00:17:14.119 --> 00:17:19.200 we have some serious problems as a nation, and I'm 277 00:17:19.240 --> 00:17:21.559 going to list them for you, and I think you're 278 00:17:21.559 --> 00:17:24.480 going to agree with me. We have a thirty seven 279 00:17:24.720 --> 00:17:30.720 trillion dollar national debt. You're aware of that, right, yep. 280 00:17:31.480 --> 00:17:34.279 A debt that has been built by Republicans and Democrats, 281 00:17:34.359 --> 00:17:36.039 including himself in the first term. 282 00:17:37.039 --> 00:17:37.279 Yep. 283 00:17:38.640 --> 00:17:41.400 We got to do something about that. That debt is 284 00:17:41.640 --> 00:17:46.559 growing and growing and grow, and my generation won't pay 285 00:17:46.640 --> 00:17:48.759 for it. And I don't know how old you are 286 00:17:48.759 --> 00:17:52.319 on I'm not going to ask you, but generations that 287 00:17:52.480 --> 00:17:55.960 are coming into the workforce today, we're going to saddle 288 00:17:56.880 --> 00:18:03.279 future generations with this debt. We have China, which has 289 00:18:03.440 --> 00:18:07.720 one point four billion people, that is looking across a 290 00:18:07.920 --> 00:18:12.160 fairly short period devotion and wants to take over Taiwan, 291 00:18:13.039 --> 00:18:17.880 which is the computer chip capital of the world. That's 292 00:18:17.960 --> 00:18:23.000 a problem. We have putin bombing the hell out of 293 00:18:23.200 --> 00:18:27.359 Ukraine in War of aggression that has gone on now 294 00:18:27.440 --> 00:18:30.680 for three years. That's a problem. We have North Korean 295 00:18:30.759 --> 00:18:36.920 troops fighting alongside Russians in the Ukraine. That's a problem. 296 00:18:37.559 --> 00:18:43.359 And we apparently Ukraine has captured a couple of Chinese 297 00:18:43.440 --> 00:18:51.440 soldiers fighting alongside North Koreans and Russians. We got huge problems. 298 00:18:51.640 --> 00:18:56.119 He's the only president we have. We can we can 299 00:18:57.039 --> 00:19:01.119 say everything we want about him, But what I'm saying 300 00:19:01.400 --> 00:19:06.400 is if what he's trying to do works, and if 301 00:19:06.480 --> 00:19:11.720 he somehow is able to, you know, transform the country 302 00:19:11.880 --> 00:19:15.519 and find all of the waste and the abuse and 303 00:19:15.599 --> 00:19:19.440 the fraud that he claims exists, and if he could 304 00:19:19.519 --> 00:19:23.559 somehow reduce the federal debt, he would become I'm not 305 00:19:23.599 --> 00:19:26.960 saying he's brilliant, but he would become a transformational president. 306 00:19:27.359 --> 00:19:30.640 If he fails to do that, he's going to be 307 00:19:30.759 --> 00:19:34.680 right there with Herb. He'll be below Herbert Cuver. He's 308 00:19:34.759 --> 00:19:38.240 gambling his presidency on this. I don't know how else 309 00:19:38.319 --> 00:19:38.880 to explain it. 310 00:19:40.400 --> 00:19:43.920 I understand what you're saying, and I am not schooled 311 00:19:44.039 --> 00:19:45.799 enough in all the ins and outs of all of 312 00:19:45.880 --> 00:19:50.680 those Okay. I'm simply saying what you have just described 313 00:19:50.839 --> 00:19:56.880 is a great, big giant if and he's successful. And 314 00:19:57.000 --> 00:20:01.359 I'm just saying, I have absolutely no faith in this 315 00:20:01.640 --> 00:20:05.559 mege o'maniac that we have seen. And I'm not talking 316 00:20:05.559 --> 00:20:07.880 about any pungents. I'm talking about words out of his 317 00:20:08.000 --> 00:20:08.559 own mouth. 318 00:20:08.880 --> 00:20:11.599 Yeah, And you have every right to believe, you know. 319 00:20:11.759 --> 00:20:14.079 I am not trying to dissuade you of your beliefs. 320 00:20:14.119 --> 00:20:17.759 I hope you understand that there's more than enough on 321 00:20:17.839 --> 00:20:22.680 the record for you to believe that. Okay, But history 322 00:20:22.880 --> 00:20:29.799 proves that occasionally, occasionally in this country, presidents who were 323 00:20:29.839 --> 00:20:34.960 elected by the American people. For example, Lincoln was really 324 00:20:35.079 --> 00:20:38.880 a failed country lawyer who had lost a Senate election 325 00:20:39.079 --> 00:20:43.640 in Illinois. But he was the right guy for the 326 00:20:43.799 --> 00:20:48.440 right time. In eighteen sixty one, Ronald Reagan was a 327 00:20:48.720 --> 00:20:54.680 failed Hollywood actor. Do you remember he was ridiculed that 328 00:20:54.839 --> 00:20:58.400 his co star was in bedtime for Bonzo was a monkey. 329 00:21:00.559 --> 00:21:04.960 I don't know, it's true, it's true, it's true. 330 00:21:05.039 --> 00:21:05.559 I believe you. 331 00:21:08.119 --> 00:21:12.960 And Reagan rose to the occasion. I am rooting for 332 00:21:13.079 --> 00:21:15.440 Donald Trump to rise to the occasion, just as I 333 00:21:15.559 --> 00:21:18.119 was rooting for Joe Biden to rise the occasion because 334 00:21:18.160 --> 00:21:21.160 he's the only president we got. I don't necessarily I 335 00:21:21.359 --> 00:21:23.799 called for Donald Trump to get off the Republican ticket 336 00:21:23.839 --> 00:21:26.599 in twenty sixteen after the so called Billy not the 337 00:21:26.680 --> 00:21:29.640 so called after the Billy Bush tape was released, in 338 00:21:29.680 --> 00:21:34.359 which he bragged about his ability to do what he 339 00:21:34.480 --> 00:21:38.680 wanted to with women. Okay, I couldn't believe that after 340 00:21:38.799 --> 00:21:41.799 January sixth he was able to come back within the 341 00:21:41.880 --> 00:21:45.240 Republican Party, and I certainly didn't think he would win 342 00:21:46.000 --> 00:21:49.759 regain the presidency. But this is where we're at, and 343 00:21:49.880 --> 00:21:52.279 that's all I'm saying. And my job is to try 344 00:21:52.359 --> 00:21:54.519 to talk to people and get their point of view, 345 00:21:54.880 --> 00:21:58.039 and I am very happy that you were kind enough 346 00:21:58.119 --> 00:22:01.880 to call tonight. And I suspect, I suspect you might 347 00:22:01.920 --> 00:22:02.880 be a first time caller. 348 00:22:04.160 --> 00:22:05.359 I have actually called before. 349 00:22:05.880 --> 00:22:08.440 Well, I want you to call more often because I 350 00:22:08.599 --> 00:22:13.240 need I need points of view. I don't want to 351 00:22:13.599 --> 00:22:16.640 have just one side of point of view on this program. 352 00:22:16.960 --> 00:22:17.559 That's boring. 353 00:22:17.720 --> 00:22:19.000 I had it. 354 00:22:19.200 --> 00:22:21.559 I feel we had a really good conversation. You said 355 00:22:21.880 --> 00:22:24.400 you got it all out, you didn't pull any punches, 356 00:22:25.000 --> 00:22:27.720 and I told you why. I do believe that sometimes 357 00:22:27.839 --> 00:22:33.279 sometimes presidents who we expect the least of are happen 358 00:22:33.400 --> 00:22:36.920 to just I don't know if it's divine providence, I 359 00:22:36.960 --> 00:22:42.079 don't know if it's luck, but sometimes in the past 360 00:22:42.119 --> 00:22:45.720 it's worked. And I certainly would prefer to see Donald 361 00:22:45.759 --> 00:22:50.279 Trump be successful than to have him to fail to 362 00:22:50.400 --> 00:22:54.839 accomplish what I think needs to be accomplished in this country. 363 00:22:55.039 --> 00:22:57.000 That's all I mean. 364 00:22:57.400 --> 00:23:00.960 I will say, certainly, in his first hundred days, he's 365 00:23:01.000 --> 00:23:05.119 doing a very successful job of tanking our economy. And 366 00:23:05.240 --> 00:23:08.720 I'm coming from somebody who is feeling it drastically. And 367 00:23:09.400 --> 00:23:10.319 how did you feel. 368 00:23:10.119 --> 00:23:12.680 About How did you feel about the stock market today? 369 00:23:15.200 --> 00:23:16.319 I felt better about it? 370 00:23:16.799 --> 00:23:19.519 Okay, do you give him Let me ask you this. 371 00:23:19.599 --> 00:23:20.839 I'm going to ask you one other question. 372 00:23:23.799 --> 00:23:25.519 I'm not even sure I know all the ins and outs. 373 00:23:25.559 --> 00:23:28.599 I haven't looked. But my understanding is the stock market 374 00:23:29.599 --> 00:23:32.480 changed today because he paused what he said he was. 375 00:23:32.480 --> 00:23:33.440 Going to do about tariffs. 376 00:23:33.920 --> 00:23:37.839 That's my question. You've just you've just predicted my question. 377 00:23:38.319 --> 00:23:41.920 Do you give him any credit, this megalomaniac, as you 378 00:23:42.039 --> 00:23:46.720 described him, for having the either courage and or wisdom 379 00:23:47.119 --> 00:23:50.839 to say, guess what what I proposed isn't working. Let's 380 00:23:50.880 --> 00:23:53.160 back it off for ninety days. Do you give him 381 00:23:53.160 --> 00:23:56.160 any credit for at least second guessing himself? 382 00:23:59.599 --> 00:23:59.720 Uh? 383 00:24:00.799 --> 00:24:04.200 No, fair enough, So let me say I will say that. 384 00:24:05.519 --> 00:24:08.319 I will also follow that up and say, I hope 385 00:24:09.000 --> 00:24:11.240 I hate being wrong, but man, I hope I'm wrong. 386 00:24:12.039 --> 00:24:12.359 Me too. 387 00:24:12.559 --> 00:24:14.480 I hope I'm wrong because I would like to see 388 00:24:15.359 --> 00:24:19.119 our world not be as desperate as it is.
