Speaker 1 (00:00):
What could the hot air balloon represent.
Speaker 2 (00:02):
I don't know, freedom, hopes and dreams like or just
exploration fun as usually, you know, like you just think
about how fun it is, and then you watch like
one of those videos like that Smokey the Bear Balloon,
remember that from like twenty years ago. Oh yeah, and
I slammed into that radio tower. Oh yeah, It's just
crazy because those things are so big, right, It's just
(00:23):
kind of creepy when something that big is just kind
of out of control. But again, I've never experienced any
of that for myself, so it's like, only in my
dreams do I actually like see stuff like that.
Speaker 1 (00:33):
I don't know. Only you can slam into a radio tower.
It did happen. Look up the video. It's pretty creepy.
It was everybody. Okay, yeah, okay, guys, see then it's
totally okay to make fun of.
Speaker 2 (00:46):
Yeah, I'm acquitted. Yeah, the jury has acquitted me. Anyway,
So just a real quick check. I'm gonna get in
the second segment this hour. I'm gonna get to Joe
Biden what he said in his address. It was pretty brief,
and you know what we're learning is we're gonna learn
about each other. We're gonna learn about what the Democrats
(01:06):
really stand for. We're going to learn about what the
Republicans stand for.
Speaker 1 (01:10):
And uh.
Speaker 2 (01:10):
For instance, if the Republicans finish off the House of Representatives,
which there are still some outstanding races that haven't been called.
For instance, there are two races, the Don Bacon Cony
Vargus one has not yet been called. But you want
to know something, ninety five or so percent have been
counted to this point in that race of the ballots,
(01:33):
and Don Bacon is up by like eight thousand, three hundred.
It's gonna I still feel like if the percentages hold
up on that he's gonna win. He's gonna end up
winning by like close to three percent or so. It's
not really going to end up being as close as
some razors and races in the country, like the first
District of Iowa, Southeast Iowa. The representative currently, the incumbent,
(01:57):
Marionette Miller Meeks, is up only about eight hundred total votes,
not eight hundred votes, and that's zero point two percent,
And that's going to be close enough to where they
can actually go and get a recount in all that stuff.
So that could take some time the state of Mainz
second district is not called yet. That's very tight in
favor of the Democrats right now. The sixth district of
(02:21):
Maryland is very tight in favor of the Democrats right now.
Speaker 1 (02:24):
Arizona's having a law.
Speaker 2 (02:26):
I mean, why does it take them so long, like
Maricopa County specifically, why does that take them so long
to count the votes in Arizona? They were warning us
two days before it could take them two weeks to
get to the votes counted.
Speaker 1 (02:38):
They're like that sibling that always seems to get to
the car lake, you know, like what are you doing
in there? Just get to the car so we can
get going.
Speaker 2 (02:45):
Yeah, You're just like if there's anything that you know
I could tell you is, hey, maybe come up with
a different plan. You are the only state that has
this problem.
Speaker 1 (02:55):
Yeah, like don't go to the bathroom right as we're
about to leave, Like you could have done that earlier.
Speaker 2 (02:59):
And it's just like, okay, so can you tell me
why that's happening to you tell me why? And then
Maricopa County is also Arizona District one and a Republican's
leading by a small margin. There better margin in district two,
a very small amount, just about one thousand and a
half in District six. So there's three more Republicans with
(03:21):
the lead right now. They only need nine more of
these races, basically, is what I'm getting to, and that
includes Vargas and Marionettmuller makes If you count those, then
they only need seven more for them to be able
to officially confirm that they have the House of Representatives
on top of having the Senate, on top of having
the presidency. How are the Democrats going to react after
just getting absolutely blasted in this election. It's a red
(03:44):
wave of epic proportions, and I don't know how you
can be a Democrat in this country and look at
what exactly is going down there and be like, oh, yeah,
the people that voted for all of the red they're
bad people, because that's a lot of their arguments. We'll
break that down a little bit later, but we're going
to come back. We're gonna hear from Joe Biden. I'm
gonna play it in full. You got the full thing, right,
(04:05):
we got the We got the full all six plus
minutes of this.
Speaker 1 (04:08):
I got the whole thing. I got to get back
to it because I fell into a rabbit hole. This
this is Smokey Bear balloon crash. Doesn't it look crazy? Yeah?
This video is over an hour long.
Speaker 2 (04:16):
Yeah, I mean because they had a helicopter flying up there,
because it was during the Albuquerque Balloon Festival, which it's
a little too many balloons for me, Like, I like
a lot of balloons, but that just seems like a
lot of crazy guys that you know, like to.
Speaker 1 (04:28):
Fly their balloons.
Speaker 2 (04:29):
Indianola were to go to in Iowa, that's a lot
more like, Hey, we're doing competitions, but we're also going
to use your brains kind of thing. And it's not
a thousand balloons, it's like one hundred something balloons, which
is still a lot of balloons. It's the right amount
of balloons I think, not too many, not too little,
and with the midwestern country side and not the desert
of Albuquerque anyway. But yeah, if you haven't seen that video,
(04:52):
go find it. It's all over YouTube. The Smoky Bear
balloon thing. Nobody dies, don't worry about it. It's just
kind of crazy to see something that big doing that,
Like it's up against this pole and just kind of
like sitting there.
Speaker 1 (05:05):
It's pretty crazy.
Speaker 2 (05:05):
Anyway, we'll come back. We'll hear from Joe Biden and
his entire address today to the nation following Donald Trump's victory.
That's coming up on news radio eleven ten kfab.
Speaker 1 (05:15):
Every songer on news radio eleven ten kfab.
Speaker 2 (05:19):
No, uh, no energy drink today?
Speaker 1 (05:22):
Not today? You know I had one? Did I have
one earlier today?
Speaker 2 (05:25):
I don't know. I don't follow you around? Well, are
you asking me? Hold on what? I don't think I've
had my energy drink today. That's why I asked what
I'm doing?
Speaker 1 (05:32):
Pretty good? That's good. What's going on? Yeah? I don't know.
Did you get a good sleep last night? No? Terrible? Yeah?
Speaker 2 (05:38):
Well, I'm drinking coffee, so nothing like a two thirty coffee.
Speaker 1 (05:42):
To get you in a good mood. I don't think
I've had any caffeine today. Oh stop, I'm serious, cheers,
something's going on. I need to call my doctor. No,
you don't. You can wait until six. Don't do that
until six, all right?
Speaker 2 (05:58):
Anyway, the question of what was going to happen to
Hunter Biden now that we know that he's on his
way out for Joe Biden. Joe Biden, the White House
says he's not going to pardon him, and that just
made me think, Okay, like who could stop him? Like
(06:18):
he could do whatever he wants for the next seventy
four days.
Speaker 1 (06:21):
Oh oh, Joseph Biden. Yeah right, we're talking about his
son Hunter. Well, he says he's not going to pardon him. Okay,
but like what could be some of the crazy stuff
you would be wouldn't be surprised that he'd do. I mean,
people are like, he's going to resign and let Kamala
be the first woman president through a resignation. Man, they'd
be so dirty, it'd be so dirty. Why.
Speaker 2 (06:43):
I don't think they'd do that, But you just never know.
Like it's for a guy like Biden, who really has
taken a lot, like he likes being the guy who
does is the first guy of things. I mean, that's
why he pick Kamala Harris. No disrespect to her, you know,
I don't want to dance on the proverbial grave here,
but she wasn't the best possible candidate for that of
(07:05):
all of the people that you could have elevated to
be in that spot. And I think what they thought
was she would be the first ever woman vice president
and then they could position her to be the first
woman president and you know that would be a Biden legacy.
It got completely derailed, like, yeah, he was the president
for four years and she's the first woman vice president
and the first vice president of color. But I mean
(07:29):
they did nothing to help position her at all to
win an election, and they obviously overestimated Biden's health and
how it would hold up over you know, four or
full years plus. You know, they were thinking another four
until you know they weren't. Did you see on I
believe it was MSNBC Morning Joe, they were saying, you
(07:54):
know what, she was put in the position too late,
like they should have done this earlier. That's rich from
the show that was carrying all of Joe Biden's water
for as long as they could. Yeah, they really didn't.
They they didn't entertain the whole thing of him bouncing
out and get out of the way at all, but
(08:14):
only until everybody saw him on the debate stage, where
they like, Okay, we're really losing an order amount of
credibility here. But at the same time, right like, what
would you say to those people about their I guess
like their approach to that because I don't think they're wrong.
I mean, I don't know if it would have made
(08:34):
much of a difference. But if Kamala Harris got a
full campaign and she had to earn votes through debates
with like get her back into the mix with like
a real primary, and she was competing against Gavin Newsom
and Josh Shapiro and Gretchen Whitmer and some of these
other you know, kind of notable Democrats that could have
(08:54):
been in that mix, that would have tested her a
lot more. Don't you think the campaign could have gotten
into kind of a by the time that she would
have won the nomination, And that just isn't what happened here.
They had to kind of deviate from what the plan was,
and the same people were working on the campaign. It's
just instead of pushing Biden and trying to make the
last four years look as good as they possibly could,
all of a sudden they're like, oh crap, now we
(09:17):
have to tell people, Okay, well, this is a completely
different person than the person that's been the last four years.
It's like a completely different approach that they needed to
take to try to make it a reasonable thing for
people to vote for her. So I don't think that's
an unreasonable thing. At the same time, we were told
by their party that he was fine. Over and over again.
We were told he was fine. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (09:38):
We were told by that guy from the Morning Joe
that this is the this is the best Biden I've
ever seen. I've never seen him better than this, and
then Joe Scarborough Yeah, And then later on they say,
you know what, maybe maybe the problem was we didn't
get him out of the way sooner.
Speaker 2 (09:54):
Yeah, shocker, locker there, whoops. And I told you this.
I don't really fault the people around him for not
pulling the plug on this, because everything in American history
would say, yeah, I mean, like, if he's up for it,
go for another four years. And if you're seeing somebody
like that every single day, you're not going to notice
how much he's declined. I used this example, and I
hate using it, but it is what it is. I
(10:16):
had a senior dog. He was almost twelve years old,
and he started having some real health issues, like you
know dogs do. And one of the things was he
really was having some problems with his digestive system. He
didn't want to eat, and he was having all sorts
of bathroom problems. If you know what I mean. And
we got him wait a few times, and we noticed
that he was losing weight, but we didn't really know
(10:38):
like how bad he was looking until we decided he
was having trouble with his mobility and we couldn't go
on any longer, and we took him in to see
our vet to you know, unfortunately, euthanize him, you know,
put him to sleep. And I kid you not, this
is a vet, a long time vet. He's seen a
lot of greyhounds over the years. He fell over base
(11:00):
when he walked in the room. He couldn't believe his eyes.
He's like this dog, I mean, I don't know how
this dog's still.
Speaker 1 (11:05):
Alive right now.
Speaker 2 (11:06):
But we don't notice that in the same way. Right
because we saw it every single day from day to day,
it didn't seem like there was a lot changing. But
over a couple of months, the veterinarian was like, oh
my goodness, that guy. You guys have no choice right now.
You're like, I'm glad you're here him, glad you're doing
the right thing, but you have no choice right now.
This guy is in He's in some trouble for sure.
(11:28):
So if that's the case, right I can understand with
a human being that you're talking to every single day, yeah,
the decline might be happening, but I can understand how
you may not be noticing it on a first hand basis.
The problem is when the American people are seeing just
small snippets of video of him in the wild, if
you will, at the NATO summon and at the G
(11:49):
seven and talking to people, and we're noticing him look
increasingly more senile in front of us in those small snippets.
I think it's a bit easier for us to notice,
Holy cow, this guy's not all there. He's not like
as coherent as we thought he was, or he used
to be at the very least. And then right, it
(12:10):
took George Clooney of all people, who doesn't seem every
day to throw him a fundraiser and see him and
being like, wait a second, what the heck happened to
this guy? Yeah, the guy from Old Brother or Art Thou,
which is a good movie, great movie, really good movie.
Not no, no, George Clooney slander on that one from me.
But atter he's a man of constant sorrow these days.
(12:30):
Sorry I had to ask you, Okay, So anyway, bottom
line is it wasn't until we as the American people
saw him on the debate stage. Clooney saw him at
that fundraiser and wrote that op ed and everybody was like, Okay, yeah,
I mean, we gotta we got to come to terms
(12:52):
with the fact that this has probably got to be
the end for him. There's no way he's gonna win,
and it's not even a good thing for him to do,
even though he may want to do it at some point.
Points sometimes you have to take the car keys away
from Grandpa, and that's just an unfortunate reality the world
do we live in.
Speaker 1 (13:07):
It's two forty eight.
Speaker 2 (13:08):
I'll have something to give away next stick Around News
Radio eleven ten kfab.
Speaker 1 (13:12):
Emri Sunger on News Radio eleven ten kfab. I'm less skeptical.
Speaker 2 (13:19):
This is another you know, I asked, basically, what's a
crazy thing that you know, like Biden could do. It's
not really Biden in this situation, but would like the
doj And I mean that's Donald Trump's going to inherit that.
And I agree with the sentiment they're going to come
across as the peaceful party. They want people to see
them as the peaceful party, even though they couldn't fool
(13:42):
people in the election that they were the peaceful party right,
isn't that kind of the whole thing They ran the
entire election, Matt. It was the policies of the right,
which was what they were running on, versus the personalities
on the left. They were trying to say that they
were much better people than the people who were conservatives
and on the Republican side, and they didn't buy it.
America didn't buy it even a little bit. So they
(14:05):
just need to do a major image repair over the
next couple of years before the midterms if they want
to try to get one of those chambers back. I'm
skeptical that they're going to be able to turn the
tide that quickly. In two years, in four years, it'll
be on the first surely on the table. I mean,
America is incredibly cyclical. Are going to be a lot
of people that you know now that are like, oh, yeah,
I'm ready to vote for Trump this time because I
(14:26):
was having real issues when Trump's out of the picture
in twenty eight.
Speaker 1 (14:29):
Fully, assuming the.
Speaker 2 (14:30):
Democrats don't correctly predict him to become a dictator or
an authoritarian, that takes away our ability to have elections.
Speaker 1 (14:36):
I say that sarcastically.
Speaker 2 (14:38):
The idea I think would be that the Democrats would
then have a candidate that would make sense, like a Newsom,
like a Josh Shapiro, like somebody who, Okay, this is
a person that certainly can win an election, a general
election as president of the United States, and they'd be
going against what we would assume to be somebody like jd.
Speaker 1 (14:56):
Vance.
Speaker 2 (14:56):
Even though I would it's way too early to even
kind of suggest those things. I think there could be
other rising stars, And if Tulci Gabbert wants to be
a Republican, you have to consider her as like somebody
that needs to be I mean, I would love to
see her like a secretary of State situation. I want
to see her have a real impact in the Trump administration,
because I think she needs to be close enough to
(15:18):
the presidency that she can run for it one day
and have that experience. I'm just I'm not convinced though,
that they're going to try to continue to demonize Republicans,
because I think they've seen that that does not work.
In fact, it blew up in their face a big time.
Speaker 1 (15:35):
Yeah, well, it's so interesting to see, you know, cause
the argument that oh, this is a far right takeover
of our country. It's like, well, look at the people
who've joined up on the campaign trail, and this is
former Democrat.
Speaker 2 (15:50):
This is exactly what I said, Right, You can't tell
me all this stuff that you think Project twenty twenty
five is and this like radical right wing agenda is
going to be like shoved down America's throats when you
have two pretty prominent former Democrats like Toulci gabbartt and Rfk,
and you have somebody like Elon Musk and a former
Bernie Sanders guy and Joe Rogan and all these people
(16:10):
that were very left leaning at various points in the
past five years and they.
Speaker 1 (16:16):
Hopped on the Trump bandwagon. Give me a break on that.
Speaker 2 (16:19):
You think these people are just gonna jump on board
because Donald Trump wants to be a dictator.
Speaker 1 (16:23):
You're missing the point. Anyway.
Speaker 2 (16:25):
We'll talk more about this and other stuff, but I
want to give you a chance to win some tickets.
A couple of tickets on the line here for Andrea
Bocelli his thirtieth anniversary concert for Valentine's Day. That's gonna
be for with the Omaha Symphony and that's gonna be Thursday,
February sixth at Chi Health Center downtown in Omaha. I'm
gonna give the fiftieth caller two tickets to this show,
(16:47):
two tickets on the line for Andrea Bocelli in February
here in Omaha. Call us now at four h two
five five eight to eleven ten. Four h two five
five eight to eleven ten, and we'll take the fiftieth
callar to win a pair of tickets, and we'll have
plenty more for you coming up next.
Speaker 1 (17:00):
Take you right there on news Radio eleven ten KF

What could the hot air balloon represent.

(06:18):
he could do whatever he wants for the next seventy
four days.
Speaker 1 (06:21):
Oh oh, Joseph Biden. Yeah right, we're talking about his
son Hunter. Well, he says he's not going to pardon him. Okay,
but like what could be some of the crazy stuff
you would be wouldn't be surprised that he'd do. I mean,
people are like, he's going to resign and let Kamala
be the first woman president through a resignation. Man, they'd
be so dirty, it'd be so dirty. Why.
Speaker 2 (06:43):
I don't think they'd do that, But you just never know.
Like it's for a guy like Biden, who really has
taken a lot, like he likes being the guy who
does is the first guy of things. I mean, that's
why he pick Kamala Harris. No disrespect to her, you know,
I don't want to dance on the proverbial grave here,
but she wasn't the best possible candidate for that of
(07:05):
all of the people that you could have elevated to
be in that spot. And I think what they thought
was she would be the first ever woman vice president
and then they could position her to be the first
woman president and you know that would be a Biden legacy.
It got completely derailed, like, yeah, he was the president
for four years and she's the first woman vice president
and the first vice president of color. But I mean
(07:29):
they did nothing to help position her at all to
win an election, and they obviously overestimated Biden's health and
how it would hold up over you know, four or
full years plus. You know, they were thinking another four
until you know they weren't. Did you see on I
believe it was MSNBC Morning Joe, they were saying, you
(07:54):
know what, she was put in the position too late,
like they should have done this earlier. That's rich from
the show that was carrying all of Joe Biden's water
for as long as they could. Yeah, they really didn't.
They they didn't entertain the whole thing of him bouncing
out and get out of the way at all, but
(08:14):
only until everybody saw him on the debate stage, where
they like, Okay, we're really losing an order amount of
credibility here. But at the same time, right like, what
would you say to those people about their I guess
like their approach to that because I don't think they're wrong.
I mean, I don't know if it would have made
(08:34):
much of a difference. But if Kamala Harris got a
full campaign and she had to earn votes through debates
with like get her back into the mix with like
a real primary, and she was competing against Gavin Newsom
and Josh Shapiro and Gretchen Whitmer and some of these
other you know, kind of notable Democrats that could have
(08:54):
been in that mix, that would have tested her a
lot more. Don't you think the campaign could have gotten
into kind of a by the time that she would
have won the nomination, And that just isn't what happened here.
They had to kind of deviate from what the plan was,
and the same people were working on the campaign. It's
just instead of pushing Biden and trying to make the
last four years look as good as they possibly could,
all of a sudden they're like, oh crap, now we
(09:17):
have to tell people, Okay, well, this is a completely
different person than the person that's been the last four years.
It's like a completely different approach that they needed to
take to try to make it a reasonable thing for
people to vote for her. So I don't think that's
an unreasonable thing. At the same time, we were told
by their party that he was fine. Over and over again.
We were told he was fine. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (09:38):
We were told by that guy from the Morning Joe
that this is the this is the best Biden I've
ever seen. I've never seen him better than this, and
then Joe Scarborough Yeah, And then later on they say,
you know what, maybe maybe the problem was we didn't
get him out of the way sooner.
Speaker 2 (09:54):
Yeah, shocker, locker there, whoops. And I told you this.
I don't really fault the people around him for not
pulling the plug on this, because everything in American history
would say, yeah, I mean, like, if he's up for it,
go for another four years. And if you're seeing somebody
like that every single day, you're not going to notice
how much he's declined. I used this example, and I
hate using it, but it is what it is. I
(10:16):
had a senior dog. He was almost twelve years old,
and he started having some real health issues, like you
know dogs do. And one of the things was he
really was having some problems with his digestive system. He
didn't want to eat, and he was having all sorts
of bathroom problems. If you know what I mean. And
we got him wait a few times, and we noticed
that he was losing weight, but we didn't really know
(10:38):
like how bad he was looking until we decided he
was having trouble with his mobility and we couldn't go
on any longer, and we took him in to see
our vet to you know, unfortunately, euthanize him, you know,
put him to sleep. And I kid you not, this
is a vet, a long time vet. He's seen a
lot of greyhounds over the years. He fell over base
(11:00):
when he walked in the room. He couldn't believe his eyes.
He's like this dog, I mean, I don't know how
this dog's still.
Speaker 1 (11:05):
Alive right now.
Speaker 2 (11:06):
But we don't notice that in the same way. Right
because we saw it every single day from day to day,
it didn't seem like there was a lot changing. But
over a couple of months, the veterinarian was like, oh
my goodness, that guy. You guys have no choice right now.
You're like, I'm glad you're here him, glad you're doing
the right thing, but you have no choice right now.
This guy is in He's in some trouble for sure.
(11:28):
So if that's the case, right I can understand with
a human being that you're talking to every single day, yeah,
the decline might be happening, but I can understand how
you may not be noticing it on a first hand basis.
The problem is when the American people are seeing just
small snippets of video of him in the wild, if
you will, at the NATO summon and at the G
(11:49):
seven and talking to people, and we're noticing him look
increasingly more senile in front of us in those small snippets.
I think it's a bit easier for us to notice,
Holy cow, this guy's not all there. He's not like
as coherent as we thought he was, or he used
to be at the very least. And then right, it
(12:10):
took George Clooney of all people, who doesn't seem every
day to throw him a fundraiser and see him and
being like, wait a second, what the heck happened to
this guy? Yeah, the guy from Old Brother or Art Thou,
which is a good movie, great movie, really good movie.
Not no, no, George Clooney slander on that one from me.
But atter he's a man of constant sorrow these days.
(12:30):
Sorry I had to ask you, Okay, So anyway, bottom
line is it wasn't until we as the American people
saw him on the debate stage. Clooney saw him at
that fundraiser and wrote that op ed and everybody was like, Okay, yeah,
I mean, we gotta we got to come to terms
(12:52):
with the fact that this has probably got to be
the end for him. There's no way he's gonna win,
and it's not even a good thing for him to do,
even though he may want to do it at some point.
Points sometimes you have to take the car keys away
from Grandpa, and that's just an unfortunate reality the world
do we live in.
Speaker 1 (13:07):
It's two forty eight.
Speaker 2 (13:08):
I'll have something to give away next stick Around News
Radio eleven ten kfab.
Speaker 1 (13:12):
Emri Sunger on News Radio eleven ten kfab. I'm less skeptical.
Speaker 2 (13:19):
This is another you know, I asked, basically, what's a
crazy thing that you know, like Biden could do. It's
not really Biden in this situation, but would like the
doj And I mean that's Donald Trump's going to inherit that.
And I agree with the sentiment they're going to come
across as the peaceful party. They want people to see
them as the peaceful party, even though they couldn't fool
(13:42):
people in the election that they were the peaceful party right,
isn't that kind of the whole thing They ran the
entire election, Matt. It was the policies of the right,
which was what they were running on, versus the personalities
on the left. They were trying to say that they
were much better people than the people who were conservatives
and on the Republican side, and they didn't buy it.
America didn't buy it even a little bit. So they
(14:05):
just need to do a major image repair over the
next couple of years before the midterms if they want
to try to get one of those chambers back. I'm
skeptical that they're going to be able to turn the
tide that quickly. In two years, in four years, it'll
be on the first surely on the table. I mean,
America is incredibly cyclical. Are going to be a lot
of people that you know now that are like, oh, yeah,
I'm ready to vote for Trump this time because I
(14:26):
was having real issues when Trump's out of the picture
in twenty eight.
Speaker 1 (14:29):
Fully, assuming the.
Speaker 2 (14:30):
Democrats don't correctly predict him to become a dictator or
an authoritarian, that takes away our ability to have elections.
Speaker 1 (14:36):
I say that sarcastically.
Speaker 2 (14:38):
The idea I think would be that the Democrats would
then have a candidate that would make sense, like a Newsom,
like a Josh Shapiro, like somebody who, Okay, this is
a person that certainly can win an election, a general
election as president of the United States, and they'd be
going against what we would assume to be somebody like jd.
Speaker 1 (14:56):
Vance.
Speaker 2 (14:56):
Even though I would it's way too early to even
kind of suggest those things. I think there could be
other rising stars, And if Tulci Gabbert wants to be
a Republican, you have to consider her as like somebody
that needs to be I mean, I would love to
see her like a secretary of State situation. I want
to see her have a real impact in the Trump administration,
because I think she needs to be close enough to
(15:18):
the presidency that she can run for it one day
and have that experience. I'm just I'm not convinced though,
that they're going to try to continue to demonize Republicans,
because I think they've seen that that does not work.
In fact, it blew up in their face a big time.
Speaker 1 (15:35):
Yeah, well, it's so interesting to see, you know, cause
the argument that oh, this is a far right takeover
of our country. It's like, well, look at the people
who've joined up on the campaign trail, and this is
former Democrat.
Speaker 2 (15:50):
This is exactly what I said, Right, You can't tell
me all this stuff that you think Project twenty twenty
five is and this like radical right wing agenda is
going to be like shoved down America's throats when you
have two pretty prominent former Democrats like Toulci gabbartt and Rfk,
and you have somebody like Elon Musk and a former
Bernie Sanders guy and Joe Rogan and all these people
(16:10):
that were very left leaning at various points in the
past five years and they.
Speaker 1 (16:16):
Hopped on the Trump bandwagon. Give me a break on that.
Speaker 2 (16:19):
You think these people are just gonna jump on board
because Donald Trump wants to be a dictator.
Speaker 1 (16:23):
You're missing the point. Anyway.
Speaker 2 (16:25):

want to give you a chance to win some tickets.
