I need you to go over to one David.

Speaker 17 (02:37):
Flight ninety three, the United Airlines flight on which passengers
and crew fought back against the terrorists and thwarted their plans.
It's believed the US capital was the intended target for
that hijacked plane, but instead, because of their intervention, the
plane went down in a field in rural Pennsylvania.

Speaker 18 (03:25):
I can hear you.

Speaker 10 (03:30):
I can hear you.

Speaker 14 (03:31):
The rest of the wall hears you, and the people
and the people who knocked these buildings down. What your
all of us sho.

Speaker 11 (04:00):
Where were you going? Or stop turning on that set town.
I know a lot of you folks went to bed
last night chapped.

Speaker 10 (04:20):
You wanted Trump to kill it, You want her to
stumble and bumble. But just remember, Unlike June twenty seventh,
when the job of CNN was to shame j Obiden
and drive him out of the race, and they did
their job, the job last night was to promote Kamala Harris,
the head of ABC, which is why ABC was who

(04:42):
the Harris campaign wanted to do. This is Kamala Harris's
best friend. She introduced Kamala Harris to her husband.

Speaker 11 (04:48):
I mean, this was exactly what you expected to happen.
Did happen? But folks, this is a long campaign. Now
it's our job.

Speaker 10 (04:56):
It's our job to tell people he won and why
he won and why he just win.

Speaker 11 (05:00):
Okay, and let's get to the calls.

Speaker 10 (05:02):
Nicole, you are on the Michael Berry Show, and we
glad you are.

Speaker 11 (05:06):
What do you have for me, sweetheart?

Speaker 12 (05:09):
I thank you, Michael. I just want to make a
couple of points. I'm going to bring it back to
the Bible. And I don't apologize for this. I just
wanted to remind everybody with love in my heart that
this is a spiritual battle. And as far as Donald
Trump goes, the man cannot be everything to everyone all

(05:30):
the time.

Speaker 11 (05:31):
That's not his job.

Speaker 12 (05:33):
That's only for Christ Almighty to do. And if you
find yourself being shaken or thrown spiritually emotionally, because even
as a Christian myself, I have to take myself back
to prayer and ask God to help me, to lend
me his wisdom to make these decisions. I mean, I
already know which way I'm going to vote, but anger

(05:55):
still builds when I see things like last night.

Speaker 8 (05:58):
So I have to ask.

Speaker 7 (05:59):
I have to on my faith to help me.

Speaker 12 (06:02):
Deal with those emotions. Another point that I wanted to
make is that I'm sorry forgive me. I'm nervous, I'm
losing my train.

Speaker 11 (06:12):
Of thought and you're doing great. Go aheads with dark.

Speaker 8 (06:17):
Okay.

Speaker 12 (06:17):
So the other point, I'm sorry, sorry, I just emotionally
nine to eleven. I'm thinking about that too. I have
thoughts racing through my head. But the Bible says in
Philippians two twelve that each of us are to work
out our own salvation with fear and trembling, which means

(06:39):
that we're to take our faith seriously and pursue a
relationship with God. And as you just stated, this is
not America is not a one man show. It belongs
to all of us.

Speaker 9 (06:53):
So each of us have our.

Speaker 12 (06:55):
Own responsibility to do a part on behalf of this
amazing country that we are blessed to live in. And
remind yourself of that.

Speaker 9 (07:05):
And if you're.

Speaker 8 (07:06):
Still undecided about how you feel, then maybe that's God's
way of reaching out to you to search your own
home and your own heart, to get your house in order,
because it's necessary for such a.

Speaker 9 (07:21):
Time as this.

Speaker 10 (07:22):
That is nicole, that is what we what I grew
up referring to because my pastor did as conviction. What
you are feeling in that moment is conviction, and that's where.

Speaker 11 (07:40):
A call is.

Speaker 10 (07:41):
Being made to you, and you need to at that
moment give something over to God. Proverbs third verse, I
believe it is. You can check me, but you alluded
to this. Versely, not unto see. Trust in the Lord

(08:01):
with all thine heart, and lean not unto thine own
understanding in all your ways. Acknowledge Him, and he will
direct your path.

Speaker 11 (08:16):
It took me a moment.

Speaker 10 (08:17):
It's a little rusty there, Ramon, I must admit, but
that is a verse that comes to mind at moments
like this. Trust in the Lord with all thy heart,
and lean not unto thine own understanding in all your ways.

(08:39):
Acknowledge Him, and he shall direct your path.

Speaker 7 (08:48):
Track bird and.

Speaker 19 (08:49):
My fellow Orange County buddy Michael Berry offends.

Speaker 9 (08:52):
The establishment and speaks for us real Americans.

Speaker 20 (08:55):
I'm from the country and I like it that way.

Speaker 19 (09:00):
She just started by saying she's going to do this,
She's going to do that, She's going to do all
these wonderful things. Why hasn't she done it. She's been
there for three and a half years. They've had three
and a half years to fix the border. They've had
three and a half years to create jobs and all
the things we talked about.

Speaker 9 (09:18):
Why hasn't she done it?

Speaker 19 (09:20):
She should leave right now, go down to that beautiful
White House, go to the Capitol, get everyone together, and
do the things you want to do. But you haven't
done it, and you won't do it because you believe
in things that the American people don't believe in. You
believe in things like we're not going to frack, we're
not going to take fossil fuel. We're not going to
do things that are going to make this country strong,

(09:42):
whether you like it or not. Germany tried that and
within one year they were back to building normal energy plants.
We're not ready for it. We can't sacrifice our country
for the sake of bad vision. But I just ask
one simple question, why didn't she do it? We're a
failing nation. We're a nation that's in serious decline. We're

(10:06):
being laughed at all over the world. All over the world.

Speaker 9 (10:09):
They left.

Speaker 19 (10:09):
I know the leaders very well. They're coming to see me,
they call me. We're laughed at all over the world.
They don't understand what happened to us. As a nation.

Speaker 9 (10:18):
We're not a leader.

Speaker 11 (10:19):
We don't have.

Speaker 9 (10:20):
Any idea what's going on.

Speaker 19 (10:22):
We have wars going on in the Middle East, we
have wars going on with Russia and Ukraine. We're going
to end up in a third World War and it'll
be a war like no other because of nuclear weapons,
the power of weaponry.

Speaker 9 (10:35):
I rebuilt our entire military.

Speaker 19 (10:39):
She gave a lot of it away to the Taliban,
she gave it to Afghanistan. What these people have done
to our country, and maybe toughest of all is allowing
millions of people to come into our country. Many of
them are criminals, and they're destroying our country. The worst president,
the worst vice president in the history of our country.

Speaker 11 (11:02):
Megan, you are on the Michael Barry Show. Go ahead, sweetheart.

Speaker 7 (11:06):
Hey, So, my thoughts on the debate are that this
entire debate is just going to be turned into sound bays,
and I really think that Trump missed the opportunity to
make some of the best ones because a lot of
low information voters aren't really paying attention to the border
and the things that are going on in the Middle

(11:28):
East and things like that that are going on overceives.
They hear people talking about them, and they may see
things like that on the news, but what they're really
going to be paying attention to is how much money
they have at the end of the month and how
much their rent is going up. And people my age
are having to move back in with our parents because
we just can't afford to live on our own. Like

(11:50):
I'm thirty two years old having to live with my
parents because I can't afford to live on my own
with my girl. So I think that what Trump really
missed was talking about how over the last four years,
our groceries have gone up, our rent has gone up,
wages haven't gone up, and things like that, and they're

(12:12):
you know, I think that that is something that he
really missed this time, about how our neighborhoods has changed
under their influence, and how Harris just wants to continue
to keep how she wants to just keep rowing that
ball on down the road and keep everything going when
it's destroying our country.

Speaker 10 (12:36):
Yes, I'd like to drill down to your circumstance just
to get a better understanding, because I think there are
more of you than people realize.

Speaker 11 (12:45):
So are you a single mom?

Speaker 7 (12:48):
I am? I am a single mom.

Speaker 11 (12:49):
How many girls and how old are they?

Speaker 7 (12:52):
I have two beautiful girls. They are seven and nine
years old.

Speaker 11 (12:56):
Oh what a fun age. I missed that age, and you.

Speaker 7 (13:02):
I do. I am a paralegal, okay.

Speaker 10 (13:04):
And then so you take them to school? Or does
do your parents help you?

Speaker 12 (13:11):
How?

Speaker 11 (13:11):
Does how does all that work?

Speaker 7 (13:14):
So my mom is a teacher, and so the girls
go to the same school that they do, and so
that is one way that they help is So my
parents have been together for forever. So I just wound
up with just a dad set of circumstance. Dad doesn't
want to be involved. He's not a good person, things
like that, and so oh, sorry, hold on my fife. Okay, there,

(13:41):
I'm off a speaker from Sorry. Anyways, So my parents
have been together for forever, and so my mom's a teacher,
she has been for twenty years, and so I get
to hear all of the crazy things that happen at
all the schools and things like that. But one thing
that they do is my mom takes them to school
with her every day because they go to the same
school every day. They go to the same school she does.

(14:04):
And so my dad works in shipping, so I get
to hear about all of the drama from there. And
I've listened to you since I was in high school.
So I've listened. You were in the midday show when
I used to get out of school and high school.
So the entire like twenty years you've been on the air,
I've listened almost every single day.

Speaker 11 (14:25):
Well, how sweet is that? Megan? Can you hold with
me for just a minute.

Speaker 10 (14:29):
I want to drill down into finances and how people
make that work and how government policy affects it, Megan,
if I could, I would like to drill down into
your financial circumstances, and this is very helpful.

Speaker 11 (14:45):
So how much do you make? As apparently.

Speaker 7 (14:49):
So right now I'm making sixteen an hour. I was
making fifty two thousand a year, but unfortunately I was
laid off because the attorney that I was working for
just did not have enough work to support having a
full time parallegl.

Speaker 11 (15:04):
Okay, so you are you still at the same Are
you still with the same lawyer?

Speaker 7 (15:11):
No, I had to move, Okay, move.

Speaker 11 (15:13):
So sixteen an hour? Do you get forty hours a week?

Speaker 7 (15:17):
Yes?

Speaker 11 (15:17):
Okay, so you get six forty so about twenty four
twenty five hundred a month, So about thirty thousand a
year right now, yes, all right, and then of course
the government takes there is to redistribute to democrats, so.

Speaker 9 (15:31):
You have that.

Speaker 10 (15:32):
Now you're not having to cover childcare right now, which
because of thank goodness, your parents, you are you in
a house or an apartment.

Speaker 11 (15:42):
And then you moved home during this.

Speaker 7 (15:45):
So I was actually living with my ex at the time.
This was several years ago. We split immediately after Harvey, okay,
and so then I started living with them because I
was trying to basically it emotionally and financially back on
my feet. And so then.

Speaker 10 (16:04):
There is no reason for you to be defensive about that,
no reason at all. You should just be as long
as you are grateful to your parents.

Speaker 7 (16:13):
Oh, one hundred percent, I am. I tell everybody how absolutely,
just head over heels blessed and thankful. I am so,
and I tell them every single.

Speaker 11 (16:26):
Day, well, that's fantastic.

Speaker 10 (16:29):
And you know what, this is not what they wanted
for you. They wanted a loving husband and a caring father.
But to be able to be there for you it
is you know obviously that rather do not need to
be the case, but I guarantee you it gives them
a sense of pride that they can be there for

(16:52):
you and those girls. Now let's go into so you're
making thirty a year. You don't have to pay child support,
thank goodness. I mean, you don't have to pay child care.
You're not having to pay housing, and you're not having
to pay for meals. If you were having to do
those three things on thirty thousand a year, you would

(17:13):
have to go on government benefits, especially because there's not
a care And you know, this is a situation we
see with more often than not, the mother is going
to keep custody of the kids. And sometimes that's because
she insists on it, but a lot of times because
the dad just feels like he doesn't want to be

(17:33):
part of it. Now, there are plenty of cases where
the dad needs to be the proper custodian and even
full custodian, but what your situation is is the majority
of the time, so you've got a situation where now
you don't have a caregiver in the home, a primary caregiver,
and you've got to cover childcare expenses for when you
can't be there.

Speaker 11 (17:54):
You got to get them back and forth.

Speaker 10 (17:55):
And fortunately they're young enough that they're not in those
teenage years where they're always doing something, and then you've
got to get and then you've got to get rent paid,
and then you've got to provide an evening meal, and
whether you cook that or that would be overwhelming.

Speaker 16 (18:13):
And so.

Speaker 10 (18:15):
Wow, Megan, thank you for the call, thank you for
the reminder, and you know what good luck to you?

Speaker 19 (18:22):
Can you remember the Democrats are the party of disinformation.

Speaker 10 (18:25):
But the economy is up, price inflation is down real
and comes here up.

Speaker 9 (18:29):
Gas prices are down, Michael Perry.

Speaker 10 (18:32):
We remember on nine to eleven the twy nine hundred
and seventy seven who died and those who died and
were wounded in Benghazi. On twenty twelve, post debate, ABC's
Jonathan Carl tried to lead JD. Vance into praising Kamala
Harris's performance. But unlike some of our folks, JD. Vance

(18:53):
doesn't get sucked into that. Here's what he had to say.

Speaker 13 (18:56):
Well, let me ask you about this for just very quickly,
I heard all Trump before this to be describe Kamala
Harris as I'll just read a few of them, A
low IQ individual, somebody who doesn't have the mental capacity
to be president, really dumb unable to put two sentences together.
Is that what you saw on the stage tonight, John.

Speaker 15 (19:14):
What I saw was a lot of slogans. I think
the American people are smart, and Kamala Harris talks to
them like their children. She repeats these ridiculous platitudes where
if you actually think about what she said, you realize
that it doesn't make any sense. She talks a lot
about her plans, but then her plans when you analyze
the substance, don't make any sense. And more importantly, John,
the American people don't get fed on plans. She is

(19:35):
vice president for three and a half years. What she
can't do, refuses to do, and has no ability to do,
is to say I accomplish the lower prices because she didn't,
or I accomplish lower housing prices because she didn't, or
I secured the southern border because she didn't do that.
She is filed as vice president and the fundamental question
is do we want to give her a promotion?

Speaker 11 (19:55):
I think the answer has to be no.

Speaker 18 (19:56):
John.

Speaker 10 (19:57):
Let me be very clear with every single one of you,
am not prepared to be nice to the Democrats. They
have lied about Trump, they have lied about us, they
have lied about Charlottesville. They have taken every word out
of context and twisted it. They have convicted Donald Trump
of thirty four counts and their side cheered while they

(20:21):
did it.

Speaker 11 (20:22):
They have shot.

Speaker 10 (20:23):
Donald Trump in the head, and many of them, including celebrities,
have said I'm sorry he missed.

Speaker 11 (20:30):
He should have target practiced more, and our.

Speaker 10 (20:34):
Side says, oh my god, I can't believe you did that. Now,
the one moment that we get America to pay attention
to illegal immigration because the Haitians are eating the cats
and dogs. Some of you out there going, well, I
don't know if today really they say they're not. The
city manager said they're not. I'm not sure, Michael. We
shouldn't repeat that. I've got to repeat it. I'm going

(20:56):
to repeat it because it's happening. I don't know if
it's happening in a million times or a thousand times.

Speaker 11 (21:00):
But guess what. I'm not going to do that you're
welcome to do. I am not going to apologize. I'm
going to cram it down their throats.

Speaker 10 (21:07):
I want to win this thing, do you, because some
of you don't, some of you want to apologize, some
of you want.

Speaker 9 (21:14):
To fact check.

Speaker 11 (21:15):
Oh I don't know.

Speaker 21 (21:16):
I don't know if Kamala really is, if she really
said exactly. They don't ask those questions if they want
to live in a world where they go on offense
and it's red alert. I mean, they're going after it
and we're over here going well, I don't know.

Speaker 11 (21:33):
I mean, I'm worried. I mean, you know, I don't
know all that's true.

Speaker 10 (21:36):
So just so you know, full speed ahead, damn the torpedoes,
and if you.

Speaker 21 (21:42):
Need to get off the ship, get off the ship.

Speaker 11 (21:44):
Because I don't want to lose this thing. Now.

Speaker 10 (21:48):
Trump attacked Kamala Harris for her failure to secure the border.
In that attack, he talked about the story out of Springfield, Ohio,
which has captured the name's attention.

Speaker 19 (22:00):
What they have done to our country by allowing these
millions and millions of people to come into our country
and look at for what's happening to the towns all
over the United States, And a lot of towns don't
want to talk.

Speaker 9 (22:11):
Not going to be Aurora or Springfield.

Speaker 19 (22:13):
A lot of towns don't want to talk about it
because they're so embarrassed by it. In Springfield, they're eating
the dogs that came in they're eating the cats, they're
eating they're eating the pets of the people that live there,
And this is what's happening in our country, and it's
a shame.

Speaker 10 (22:32):
See Kamala Harris can pretend she's Santa Claus and make
all these promises of what she's going to do for
you twenty.

Speaker 11 (22:39):
Five thousand, year fifty over there, and here, I'm going
to do this. Here, I'm gonna do this. That's what
socialism does.

Speaker 10 (22:44):
It promises that which it cannot deliver, and people get
seduced by it. But if Sanaclaus makes promises he never delivers,
and he comes down your chimney and eats your cat,
then it strikes me you should vote to get instant.
And I don't know who did this, but it was
floating around social media after the debate. Somebody noticed Trump's

(23:09):
cadence when he delivered they're eating the dogs, and that
it matched up very well with the theme song to Peanuts.

Speaker 19 (23:20):
They're eating the dogs, the people that came in, They're
eating the cats, they're eating they're eating the bits of
the people that live there.

Speaker 11 (23:30):
Oh my goodness.

Speaker 10 (23:31):
You know, maybe we should just put everything to the
Peanuts theme and see how it works. Trump's finest moment
sadly was at the very end. But it's important that
we share this with people.

Speaker 11 (23:41):
She's making all these.

Speaker 10 (23:42):
Promises, Why hasn't she done any of it in the
last three and a half years.

Speaker 19 (23:49):
So she just started by saying she's going to do this,
She's going to do that, She's going to do all
these wonderful things. Why hasn't she done it. She's been
there for three and a half years. They've had three
and a half years to fix the border, they've had
three and a half years to create jobs and all
the things we talked about.

Speaker 9 (24:07):
Why hasn't she done it?

Speaker 19 (24:10):
She should leave right now, go down to that beautiful
White House, go to the capital, get everyone together.

Speaker 9 (24:16):
And do the things you want to do.

Speaker 19 (24:17):
But you haven't done it, and you won't do it
because you believe in things that the American people don't
believe in. Do you believe in things like we're not
going to frack, we're not going to take fossil fuel,
we're not going to do things that are going to
make this country strong, whether you like it or not.
Germany tried that and within one year they were back
to building normal energy plants. We're not ready for it.

(24:40):
We can't sacrifice our country for the sake of bad vision.
But I just ask one simple question, why didn't.

Speaker 9 (24:48):
She do it.

Speaker 19 (24:49):
We're a failing nation. We're a nation that's in serious decline.
We're being left at all over the world. All over
the world they left. I know the leaders very well.
They're coming to see me, they call me. We're laughed
at all over the world. They don't understand what happened
to us as a nation.

Speaker 9 (25:05):
We're not a leader. We don't have any idea what's
going on.

Speaker 19 (25:09):
We have wars going on in the Middle East, we
have wars going on with Russia and Ukraine. We're going
to end up in a third World War, and it'll
be a war like no other because of nuclear weapons,
the power of weaponry. I rebuilt our entire military. She
gave a lot of it away to the Taliban, she
gave it to Afghanistan. What these people have done to

(25:33):
our country, and maybe toughest of all is allowing millions
of people to come into our country. Many of them
are criminals, and they're destroying our country. The worst president,
the worst vice president in the history of our country.

Speaker 20 (26:00):
What day one I will sign a new executive order
to cut federal funding for any school pushing critical race theory,
transgender and sanity, and other inappropriate racial, sexual, or political
content onto our children.

Speaker 19 (26:15):
I will keep men out of women's sports.

Speaker 9 (26:18):
We will protect.

Speaker 19 (26:19):
Innocent life, and we will restore free speech.

Speaker 9 (26:22):
And I will secure our elections. We want a landslide.

Speaker 11 (26:27):
We have to win.

Speaker 19 (26:28):
We have to win so that it's too big too Rickell.

Speaker 18 (26:36):
Shot fall sum saying short say shine fall Sun.

Speaker 19 (26:47):
Saying trun saying too big to Rick cracking. She's been
against it for twelve years. To fund the police, She's
been against that forever. She gave all that stuff up
very wrongly, very horribly, and.

Speaker 11 (27:03):
Everybody's laughing at it.

Speaker 9 (27:05):
Okay, they're all laughing at it.

Speaker 19 (27:06):
She gave up at least twelve and probably fourteen or
fifteen different policies like she was big on defund the
police in Minnesota.

Speaker 9 (27:15):
She went out a minute.

Speaker 19 (27:16):
I'm talking now, if you don't mind, please does that
sound familiar?

Speaker 10 (27:21):
We will be going deeper into this debate in the
coming days. I could have spent the entirety of the
show today on analyzing the exchanges, and of course what
the moderators did, but I chose not to do that

(27:44):
because I wanted to get a wide variety.

Speaker 11 (27:49):
Of callers on.

Speaker 10 (27:54):
And I wanted you to hear because I find it interesting.
We all expecien it's the same event, but we experience
it differently. And I find it interesting and humbling to
realize that some people say, oh, yeah, Trump won, it
was big, Why do you end it? Other people say,

(28:14):
Trump lost, it was horrible? Were y'all watching the same thing?
How can y'all be so off on your reaction? And
I find that to be very interesting. I have often said,
if we agree one hundred percent of the time, one
of us isn't necessary. Now that being said, we're going

(28:37):
to close the show with a call that came in
this morning from a woman named Kathy, and I thought
it was a great call to arms. And I'm going
to leave you with this. This call just a few
minutes long. And that is the debate is ongoing. Most
people will never hear Trump's finest moment opinion, which was

(29:02):
his closing argument, which is, Kamala Harris can say anything
she wants, she can be Santa Claus, she can make
it all up. But why hasn't she done it already.
And once you think about that, you know some people
need to be reminded of what's important and how we

(29:25):
ended up here. And that's our job, folks. Donald Trump
can't speak to everybody. People tell me the other day,
Trump needs to be on the Spanish language station. Trump
needs to be at my church, Trump needs to come
to my workplace.

Speaker 11 (29:37):
That's not how it works. You've got a job to
do save the country. Because I can.

Speaker 10 (29:45):
Tell you this, when our country collapses, you're gonna say
to yourself, I wish I personally had done more, not
I wish Trump had done more. I love you, folks,
I really do. We are in this together. Now let's
go win it, shall we. Here's Kathy's call to close

(30:05):
the show. Kathy, you're on the Michael Berry Show. Sweetheart,
what did you think of last night?

Speaker 11 (30:13):
I thought it was.

Speaker 6 (30:13):
A missed opportunity. But the people that will be most
influenced by the debate probably didn't watch the debate because
they're low information voters and they don't like politics, So
how will they be influenced by something they didn't watch.
Don't hear about it, don't see what other people think
about it. You'll go with the flow. So the debate

(30:37):
in that sense is still going on. It's still in
the formation phase. I think needed to do three.

Speaker 10 (30:44):
Wait right there, That is an extraordinarily astute point. That
is a top one percent level review of how public
opinion changes and how debates play into the overall process.

(31:07):
The Republican primary debate in twenty sixteen, you had almost
twenty people on the stage and people were looking for
a candidate. Trump already had the most support, followed by
Ted Cruz, but at that point people wanted to know
how did these guys stack up against Jeb Bush? And

(31:27):
that was the moment where they realized, we don't want
Jeb Bush. There was an actual change made for people
who went into that debate unsure. But with last night,
as you note, almost everyone watching that debate, I suspect
is a person whose mind was already made up. And
those who didn't watch or watched a handful of minutes

(31:50):
and couldn't bear it because they remembered they don't like
all his politics and bickering. Anyway, they wake up today
and they wait to be told who won. And that
is why, as you said, the debate is still ongoing.

Speaker 8 (32:02):
That is.

Speaker 10 (32:05):
That is a point that is missed by most. That
is a very very very astute point, Kathy. But anyway,
go ahead, you're gonna say something else.

Speaker 6 (32:17):
First, Kama Harris needs to do three things. She needs
to convince them that she is competent to be president.
She needs to convince them that her policies will positively
address the issues that matter to them, and she needs
to convince them that they can trust her believe what
she says when she says, these are her policies. And

(32:39):
I think she did the first one last night, but
she didn't do the other two. And that's still that's
who she needs to be hammered on.

Speaker 11 (32:50):
Say those three again.

Speaker 6 (32:54):
She needs to convince them of three things that she
is competent to be president, that her policies will positively
address the issues that they care about most, and that
she can be trusted to do the things that she
says she's going to do.

Speaker 10 (33:15):
And you think that she accomplished one, but two and
three or what was your.

Speaker 11 (33:23):
Review on that?

Speaker 6 (33:25):
Yes, yes, that's what I think because she didn't really
address her policies and she hasn't because she's changed her
policies with no explanation, and so many of them, and
so abruptly and dramatically. She can't be trusted to do
what she says she will do, even if you agree

(33:48):
that those things should be done. So I think she
hasn't closed the deal on this group, and that's what
Trump needs to hammer on.

Speaker 10 (34:00):
That's very good analysis, kathyatt I am, I applaud you.
That's a very deep point of view of the bigger
picture of what's going on.
