1
00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:02,920
Speaker 1: See if you forget the politics for just a moment.

2
00:00:03,320 --> 00:00:05,920
Speaker 1: A trait of Trump I actually admire is his unrelenting

3
00:00:06,000 --> 00:00:09,720
Speaker 1: persistence and unwavering belief in a contest no one can

4
00:00:09,760 --> 00:00:13,040
Speaker 1: confidently call based on fact, as opposed to feels or

5
00:00:13,039 --> 00:00:15,680
Speaker 1: gut or hope. I think I can very confidently say

6
00:00:15,720 --> 00:00:18,520
Speaker 1: if Biden had stayed in it wouldn't even be close

7
00:00:18,640 --> 00:00:21,880
Speaker 1: age for age. Just the sight of Trump's stampeding across

8
00:00:21,920 --> 00:00:23,840
Speaker 1: the landscape in the way he does would have left

9
00:00:23,880 --> 00:00:27,319
Speaker 1: Biden gasping. Trump out campaigned Clinton ten years ago, he

10
00:00:27,400 --> 00:00:29,240
Speaker 1: might well do the same thing in twenty twenty four.

11
00:00:29,480 --> 00:00:31,840
Speaker 1: Biden was the antidote and it worked. But they never

12
00:00:31,920 --> 00:00:34,560
Speaker 1: thought past that. And this will be a soul searching

13
00:00:34,560 --> 00:00:37,680
Speaker 1: exercise as to why not later tonight if things don't

14
00:00:37,720 --> 00:00:39,440
Speaker 1: go well for Harris. The sad bit about Trump for

15
00:00:39,520 --> 00:00:42,440
Speaker 1: me is he isn't actually very good. He doesn't represent

16
00:00:42,520 --> 00:00:45,280
Speaker 1: high office well, which doesn't mean he can't win obviously,

17
00:00:45,520 --> 00:00:48,800
Speaker 1: or indeed win twice. There's a combination of luck and

18
00:00:48,920 --> 00:00:51,680
Speaker 1: genius in his recipe. I think he got lucky. He

19
00:00:51,760 --> 00:00:55,440
Speaker 1: faced Clinton, a Washington insider with a pile of shabby baggage.

20
00:00:55,520 --> 00:00:58,480
Speaker 1: He got lucky he faced Biden, who was so bad

21
00:00:58,520 --> 00:01:00,600
Speaker 1: they ejected him for another Inside. Not so much with

22
00:01:00,640 --> 00:01:03,320
Speaker 1: baggage this time, just nothing your average American can get

23
00:01:03,360 --> 00:01:05,920
Speaker 1: their head around. What I can't work out is whether

24
00:01:05,959 --> 00:01:09,040
Speaker 1: it's luck or genius he's been able to become impervious

25
00:01:09,040 --> 00:01:11,440
Speaker 1: to scandal. Forget the fringe nutters and what they say.

26
00:01:11,480 --> 00:01:15,080
Speaker 1: The simple truth is he is a convicted felon. He

27
00:01:15,200 --> 00:01:18,480
Speaker 1: is a grubby, loud mouth with no sophistication, just a

28
00:01:18,480 --> 00:01:22,240
Speaker 1: wannabe desperation for high office and power. Not that he

29
00:01:22,280 --> 00:01:25,080
Speaker 1: wasn't a half decent president. Too Many of the liberals

30
00:01:25,080 --> 00:01:27,119
Speaker 1: who hate him forget all of that. The world didn't

31
00:01:27,200 --> 00:01:30,080
Speaker 1: end between twenty sixteen and twenty twenty. He's a conservative.

32
00:01:30,080 --> 00:01:33,119
Speaker 1: On economics, the economy was fine, if not healthy. He's

33
00:01:33,120 --> 00:01:36,280
Speaker 1: an isolationist, which suits a lot of Americans. Fine America

34
00:01:36,440 --> 00:01:40,360
Speaker 1: first resonates. My international high point for his success was NATO.

35
00:01:40,760 --> 00:01:43,399
Speaker 1: He embarrassed a record number of countries into paying their way.

36
00:01:43,680 --> 00:01:47,880
Speaker 1: That is solid leadership I dislike though as dishonesty. It

37
00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:50,800
Speaker 1: wasn't the greatest economy as he claims. He wasn't the

38
00:01:50,800 --> 00:01:55,200
Speaker 1: greatest president. It wasn't the cleanest air and the purest water. Essentially,

39
00:01:55,360 --> 00:01:57,760
Speaker 1: he's full of bullshit, but a lot of the bs's

40
00:01:57,800 --> 00:02:00,200
Speaker 1: show and the liberals won't see it. He doesn't want

41
00:02:00,200 --> 00:02:04,640
Speaker 1: the media shot literally. It's not literal. You can't take

42
00:02:04,720 --> 00:02:07,680
Speaker 1: him literally. Why can't they see that? That's why so

43
00:02:07,760 --> 00:02:10,520
Speaker 1: many of them will combust if he wins. They have

44
00:02:10,639 --> 00:02:12,880
Speaker 1: no sense of humor or at least of the absurd,

45
00:02:13,120 --> 00:02:14,880
Speaker 1: which is what this race has been. I mean, I

46
00:02:14,919 --> 00:02:17,840
Speaker 1: ask you, this is the biggest story today, Trump winning

47
00:02:18,520 --> 00:02:21,480
Speaker 1: or the Democrats not being able to win, Because if

48
00:02:21,520 --> 00:02:24,120
Speaker 1: you want a gut call from me, I think that's

49
00:02:24,120 --> 00:02:27,160
Speaker 1: how it's going to play out. For more from the

50
00:02:27,200 --> 00:02:30,280
