Why weren't they on that roof, he's really 31 00:01:21,440 --> 00:01:24,360 Speaker 2: passed the buck to local law enforcement. He said they 32 00:01:24,440 --> 00:01:27,000 Speaker 2: made an assumption and that we assume that the state 33 00:01:27,040 --> 00:01:30,880 Speaker 2: and locals had it sorted, which obviously they didn't. 34 00:01:30,600 --> 00:01:33,080 Speaker 1: Make no exactly.

These are 63 00:02:58,400 --> 00:03:04,639 Speaker 2: both sort of well known people, especially Shapiro in Pennsylvania. 64 00:03:04,680 --> 00:03:07,000 Speaker 2: This is a state that Democrats really need to win, 65 00:03:07,440 --> 00:03:09,880 Speaker 2: and they feel that if they pick Shapiro, he could 66 00:03:09,880 --> 00:03:11,600 Speaker 2: be the one to take them over in that state. 67 00:03:11,720 --> 00:03:13,360 Speaker 1: All right, good stuff, make go well, catch up soon, 68 00:03:13,400 --> 00:03:15,400 Speaker 1: Match McCann out of the states for it's this morning, 69 00:03:15,440 --> 00:03:18,280 Speaker 1: And in doing my reading as I have been, every 70 00:03:18,280 --> 00:03:20,480 Speaker 1: one of the vps is a very good fundraiser, so 71 00:03:20,520 --> 00:03:24,520 Speaker 1: they're placing a tremendous amount of emphasis on money. Money 72 00:03:24,520 --> 00:03:26,200 Speaker 1: doesn't buy you in an election, but it helps Roy 73 00:03:26,240 --> 00:03:29,480 Speaker 1: Cooper goes. I strongly support VP Harris.

This 75 00:03:31,800 --> 00:03:33,680 Speaker 1: just wasn't the right time for North Carolina or for 76 00:03:33,760 --> 00:03:35,600 Speaker 1: me to be potentially on a national ticket. What I 77 00:03:35,600 --> 00:03:37,600 Speaker 1: can't work out is that you're not on the national 78 00:03:37,600 --> 00:03:39,520 Speaker 1: ticket because you think you're going to lose in reality 79 00:03:40,240 --> 00:03:42,160 Speaker 1: and you don't want to be tainted by that. Or 80 00:03:42,200 --> 00:03:44,000 Speaker 1: do you get on the national ticket if you can 81 00:03:44,400 --> 00:03:46,600 Speaker 1: knowing that the party will thank you for it no 82 00:03:46,640 --> 00:03:47,680 Speaker 1: matter which way it goes. 83 00:03:48,280 --> 00:03:51,200 Speaker 2: For more from the Mic Asking Breakfast, listen live to 84 00:03:51,280 --> 00:03:54,360 Speaker 2: news talks.
