1 00:00:01,120 --> 00:00:01,560 Speaker 1: Welcome. 2 00:00:01,600 --> 00:00:04,560 Speaker 2: It is Vernict with Center, Ted Cruz, Ben Ferguson with you. 3 00:00:04,640 --> 00:00:07,680 Speaker 2: We are days away from a GOP convention. I love 4 00:00:07,720 --> 00:00:11,360 Speaker 2: saying this where we're very united behind our candidate and center. 5 00:00:11,440 --> 00:00:14,400 Speaker 2: There is still a major civil war that is not 6 00:00:14,760 --> 00:00:16,600 Speaker 2: stopping within the Democratic Party. 7 00:00:17,600 --> 00:00:19,040 Speaker 1: Well, that's exactly right. 8 00:00:19,160 --> 00:00:22,439 Speaker 3: Utter chaos continues to reign on the Democratic side. But 9 00:00:22,640 --> 00:00:24,720 Speaker 3: we're also going to talk about the fact that Texas 10 00:00:24,800 --> 00:00:29,440 Speaker 3: is recovering from Hurricane Beryl. The state of Texas was 11 00:00:30,480 --> 00:00:35,240 Speaker 3: hit by Beryl two days ago. Nearly three million Texans 12 00:00:35,280 --> 00:00:39,199 Speaker 3: lost power. There was wind damage, rain damage. You and 13 00:00:39,280 --> 00:00:41,760 Speaker 3: I lived through it, So we're we're gonna walk through 14 00:00:41,840 --> 00:00:44,720 Speaker 3: exactly what that entailed. But then we're going to turn 15 00:00:44,760 --> 00:00:47,120 Speaker 3: to what's happening nationally. We're gonna turn to the question 16 00:00:47,200 --> 00:00:50,800 Speaker 3: that's on everybody's lips, which is who is the Democrat 17 00:00:50,880 --> 00:00:53,600 Speaker 3: nominee for president going to be. I continue to believe 18 00:00:53,640 --> 00:00:58,040 Speaker 3: it's not Joe Biden. But the White House is erecting 19 00:00:58,200 --> 00:01:01,360 Speaker 3: the barriers and fighting tooth and nail, and they are 20 00:01:01,360 --> 00:01:04,920 Speaker 3: discovering that their worst enemy is the corporate media, who 21 00:01:05,000 --> 00:01:07,120 Speaker 3: is utterly and completely turned on them. We're going to 22 00:01:07,160 --> 00:01:07,800 Speaker 3: break that down. 23 00:01:08,480 --> 00:01:09,840 Speaker 1: Yeah, it's really interesting. 24 00:01:10,160 --> 00:01:11,960 Speaker 2: I want to tell you real quick about something of 25 00:01:12,040 --> 00:01:14,800 Speaker 2: this is important to me.

What all 56 00:02:57,520 --> 00:02:59,680 Speaker 2: did you see from the damage. I helped a lot 57 00:02:59,720 --> 00:03:03,000 Speaker 2: of name get trees out of their yards and trees 58 00:03:03,040 --> 00:03:04,720 Speaker 2: that went through even parts of their roof. 59 00:03:05,200 --> 00:03:06,720 Speaker 1: You saw a ton of that as well. 60 00:03:07,240 --> 00:03:09,760 Speaker 3: Well, that's right. I've spent the last two days traveling 61 00:03:09,880 --> 00:03:16,160 Speaker 3: through the affected areas. Look, this hurricane hit late Sunday night, 62 00:03:16,320 --> 00:03:19,919 Speaker 3: early Monday morning, and actually you and I recorded Monday's 63 00:03:19,960 --> 00:03:23,560 Speaker 3: podcast as we were waiting for the hurricane hit, and 64 00:03:23,639 --> 00:03:25,880 Speaker 3: we were both at our homes. We knew it was coming, 65 00:03:26,080 --> 00:03:31,280 Speaker 3: and you know, let's actually walk people through what it's 66 00:03:31,320 --> 00:03:34,079 Speaker 3: like Now now you're a Memphis boy, so this is 67 00:03:34,120 --> 00:03:35,080 Speaker 3: your first hurricane. 68 00:03:35,560 --> 00:03:37,320 Speaker 1: This was the real deal for me. 69 00:03:37,440 --> 00:03:41,520 Speaker 2: I was like, Okay, it's somewhat exciting and nerve wracking, 70 00:03:41,560 --> 00:03:44,280 Speaker 2: and then there's like, hey, how much water do I need? 71 00:03:44,400 --> 00:03:47,760 Speaker 2: Like I was asking the basic New Greeny questions. 72 00:03:48,200 --> 00:03:48,400 Speaker 1: Yeah. 73 00:03:48,440 --> 00:03:52,320 Speaker 3: Look, as a lifelong Hestonian, we just have hurricanes. That's 74 00:03:52,360 --> 00:03:54,920 Speaker 3: part of the Gulf Coast. We will have more in 75 00:03:54,960 --> 00:03:57,400 Speaker 3: the future. We've had a lot in the past. But 76 00:03:57,560 --> 00:04:00,800 Speaker 3: you know the way this one played out. Sunday night, 77 00:04:01,280 --> 00:04:05,560 Speaker 3: I went to bed, and when I went to bed, 78 00:04:05,600 --> 00:04:07,360 Speaker 3: it was actually it was a clear night, it wasn't 79 00:04:07,360 --> 00:04:11,520 Speaker 3: even raining. And then it started coming in late at night. 80 00:04:11,520 --> 00:04:13,720 Speaker 3: It started coming in at two and three in the morning, 81 00:04:14,280 --> 00:04:16,200 Speaker 3: and it was a night where you would hear the 82 00:04:16,320 --> 00:04:19,640 Speaker 3: rain pouring down and then you'd hear cracks, loud cracks, 83 00:04:20,320 --> 00:04:23,960 Speaker 3: And in the morning you discovered what those loud cracks were, 84 00:04:24,000 --> 00:04:26,760 Speaker 3: which were trees that were falling down. And on my 85 00:04:26,880 --> 00:04:29,280 Speaker 3: street there are a whole bunch of trees that have 86 00:04:29,400 --> 00:04:31,800 Speaker 3: fallen down. There are branches that have fallen down. They're 87 00:04:31,920 --> 00:04:35,680 Speaker 3: huge oak trees and pine trees that were uprooted and 88 00:04:35,760 --> 00:04:41,600 Speaker 3: thrown thrown across the street in some cases thrown into houses. Thankfully, 89 00:04:41,680 --> 00:04:44,040 Speaker 3: my home didn't did not have any trees hit hit 90 00:04:44,080 --> 00:04:45,720 Speaker 3: the home, but we did have a big branch in 91 00:04:45,760 --> 00:04:49,479 Speaker 3: the backyard fall and rip some of the lighting down, 92 00:04:49,640 --> 00:04:51,640 Speaker 3: but it did not hit the house or the damage 93 00:04:51,680 --> 00:04:56,320 Speaker 3: the roof, so we're grateful for that. And then Monday, 94 00:04:56,400 --> 00:05:00,640 Speaker 3: as as the rain cleared, I began and going and 95 00:05:01,120 --> 00:05:04,560 Speaker 3: meeting with local officials and first responders. So one of 96 00:05:04,600 --> 00:05:07,080 Speaker 3: the first things I did is I head down headed 97 00:05:07,120 --> 00:05:13,160 Speaker 3: down to the Emergency Operations Center in Houston, and Houston 98 00:05:13,360 --> 00:05:16,440 Speaker 3: was hit very hard, and so there I sat down 99 00:05:16,600 --> 00:05:22,080 Speaker 3: with with fire firefighters, and the police department and and 100 00:05:22,120 --> 00:05:25,440 Speaker 3: all of the city officials. So the Emergency Operations Unit, 101 00:05:25,480 --> 00:05:28,960 Speaker 3: whenever you have a disaster, that's where everyone goes and 102 00:05:28,960 --> 00:05:32,320 Speaker 3: and coordinates out of. It's where the mayor coordinates out of. 103 00:05:33,200 --> 00:05:35,640 Speaker 3: It's in it's in northwest Houston. It's actually the same 104 00:05:35,720 --> 00:05:39,320 Speaker 3: location as the central nine one one call center, and 105 00:05:39,360 --> 00:05:42,120 Speaker 3: so in the room next to it, there's a massive 106 00:05:42,240 --> 00:05:45,680 Speaker 3: room filled with operators that are dealing with with thousands 107 00:05:45,680 --> 00:05:49,359 Speaker 3: of nine one one calls and tasking whoever the relevant 108 00:05:49,360 --> 00:05:53,080 Speaker 3: people are and and listen in the immediate aftermath of 109 00:05:53,120 --> 00:05:57,320 Speaker 3: a hurricane. There are a series of phases that occur 110 00:05:57,400 --> 00:06:00,000 Speaker 3: in a disaster. The first phase is just saving people's lives. 111 00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:05,640 Speaker 3: Lives and people are in harm's way, they need emergency responders. 112 00:06:05,920 --> 00:06:10,120 Speaker 3: This hurricane Hurricane Beryl. The number of confirmed fatalities now 113 00:06:10,200 --> 00:06:13,920 Speaker 3: is seven. There were multiple who were killed in Houston. 114 00:06:14,000 --> 00:06:18,000 Speaker 3: There was one who was a police department civilian employee. 115 00:06:18,800 --> 00:06:22,560 Speaker 3: He was driving in because for most most people they 116 00:06:22,560 --> 00:06:24,560 Speaker 3: were told shelter in place, stay at home, don't go 117 00:06:24,640 --> 00:06:27,080 Speaker 3: out on the roads, it's too dangerous to drive. But 118 00:06:27,200 --> 00:06:30,120 Speaker 3: for first responders and emergency personnel, they were asked to 119 00:06:30,160 --> 00:06:34,039 Speaker 3: come in to be there. And this police department employee 120 00:06:34,080 --> 00:06:36,520 Speaker 3: was driving in and he drove into an underpass that 121 00:06:36,600 --> 00:06:40,120 Speaker 3: was flooded and unfortunately was deeper than he expected, and 122 00:06:40,160 --> 00:06:45,240 Speaker 3: it flooded his into his car and he drowned. And 123 00:06:45,560 --> 00:06:47,760 Speaker 3: and I'll tell you that afternoon, I met with the 124 00:06:47,800 --> 00:06:50,960 Speaker 3: mayor who had spent the last two hours at that 125 00:06:51,120 --> 00:06:55,360 Speaker 3: underpass with the Houston Police Department searching for that body, 126 00:06:55,400 --> 00:06:57,640 Speaker 3: and they found the body of their coworker. And so 127 00:06:57,720 --> 00:07:00,520 Speaker 3: it was the mayor was shaken up. I mean, and 128 00:07:01,880 --> 00:07:06,760 Speaker 3: any time you have a fatality. It's difficult, but it's 129 00:07:06,760 --> 00:07:10,720 Speaker 3: particularly difficult when it's first responders who were searching for 130 00:07:10,800 --> 00:07:15,760 Speaker 3: one of their own in Houston. Then we went through 131 00:07:15,840 --> 00:07:19,080 Speaker 3: we went through all of the plans for how to 132 00:07:19,280 --> 00:07:24,000 Speaker 3: ensure that people have the resources they need. The big 133 00:07:24,040 --> 00:07:29,680 Speaker 3: biggest challenge statewide is power. Two point seven million Texans 134 00:07:30,160 --> 00:07:34,600 Speaker 3: lost power. You lost power, I lost power. Much of 135 00:07:34,640 --> 00:07:37,240 Speaker 3: the city of Houston was dark and that was through 136 00:07:37,640 --> 00:07:40,920 Speaker 3: true throughout much of the Gulf Coast that the power 137 00:07:40,960 --> 00:07:46,000 Speaker 3: lines went down. And so when I was sitting at 138 00:07:46,040 --> 00:07:50,640 Speaker 3: the Emergency Operations Command Center, two of the people who 139 00:07:50,680 --> 00:07:54,160 Speaker 3: were there were from Centerpoint, the power company, and they 140 00:07:54,240 --> 00:07:57,200 Speaker 3: described that they were bringing in over ten thousand linemen 141 00:07:57,760 --> 00:08:01,840 Speaker 3: linemen from around tech from other states, bringing them in 142 00:08:01,960 --> 00:08:04,920 Speaker 3: to start restringing the power lines. And before they turn 143 00:08:04,960 --> 00:08:07,640 Speaker 3: a power line back on, that that they have to 144 00:08:07,720 --> 00:08:09,720 Speaker 3: walk the length of the power line to make sure 145 00:08:09,760 --> 00:08:12,640 Speaker 3: that it's not torn down and that putting the power 146 00:08:12,720 --> 00:08:15,960 Speaker 3: on doesn't start a fire, doesn't electrocute someone. And so 147 00:08:16,080 --> 00:08:20,160 Speaker 3: it is a it can be a prolonged process. But 148 00:08:20,400 --> 00:08:22,840 Speaker 3: part of the challenge of that is is in Houston 149 00:08:22,920 --> 00:08:25,760 Speaker 3: and much of the affected areas, the traffic lights were 150 00:08:25,800 --> 00:08:30,080 Speaker 3: out and not out as in flashing, but just jar off. 151 00:08:30,320 --> 00:08:32,719 Speaker 1: Yeah, just dark. Well, I've never seen anything like it. 152 00:08:32,800 --> 00:08:35,760 Speaker 2: Like you said, this is my first hurricane where I've been, 153 00:08:36,080 --> 00:08:38,559 Speaker 2: you know, in it. And one of the things that 154 00:08:38,640 --> 00:08:41,040 Speaker 2: was the most shocking, I think is just the number 155 00:08:41,080 --> 00:08:45,800 Speaker 2: of people without power. I've never seen so much darkness 156 00:08:45,840 --> 00:08:49,720 Speaker 2: as I saw at last night, and seeing like you said, 157 00:08:50,000 --> 00:08:53,400 Speaker 2: not even flashing lights, just everything off. 158 00:08:54,200 --> 00:08:57,440 Speaker 3: Yeah, everything was out and and I believe it is 159 00:08:57,480 --> 00:09:00,280 Speaker 3: the record for the most people who've lost power in 160 00:09:00,080 --> 00:09:04,040 Speaker 3: in Texas. It is more people lost power from Beryl 161 00:09:04,120 --> 00:09:07,320 Speaker 3: than did during Hurricane Harvey. Now, Hurricane Harvey was a 162 00:09:07,440 --> 00:09:10,520 Speaker 3: much more massive disaster. It still remains the second most 163 00:09:10,520 --> 00:09:14,720 Speaker 3: costly natural disaster in US history because you had enormous flooding. 164 00:09:15,200 --> 00:09:17,920 Speaker 3: But in this instance, we just had a lot a 165 00:09:17,920 --> 00:09:21,800 Speaker 3: lot of power lines go down from trees, from trees 166 00:09:21,840 --> 00:09:26,640 Speaker 3: falling and knocking the power lines down. We also had. 167 00:09:26,440 --> 00:09:28,839 Speaker 1: A command center, and I wanted to ask you this. 168 00:09:29,480 --> 00:09:33,000 Speaker 2: So the winds and obviously, like we mentioned, there was 169 00:09:33,000 --> 00:09:35,240 Speaker 2: a lot of trees down, but this wasn't a Cat 170 00:09:35,280 --> 00:09:38,680 Speaker 2: five no that came through. So did they say to 171 00:09:38,720 --> 00:09:41,400 Speaker 2: you or explain why so many trees came down, was 172 00:09:41,400 --> 00:09:44,800 Speaker 2: it the total time and it wasn't actually moving that fast, 173 00:09:44,840 --> 00:09:46,559 Speaker 2: so it was more time to weaken the trees. Because 174 00:09:47,080 --> 00:09:50,120 Speaker 2: when you look at the storm itself, it didn't seem 175 00:09:50,120 --> 00:09:51,640 Speaker 2: like it was going to be something that was going 176 00:09:51,679 --> 00:09:52,560 Speaker 2: to be this bad. 177 00:09:53,840 --> 00:09:57,840 Speaker 3: No, they didn't. When Beryl first made landfall, it was 178 00:09:57,840 --> 00:10:00,800 Speaker 3: initially a Category one and then a Category two hurricane. 179 00:10:01,440 --> 00:10:03,160 Speaker 3: It had been in the Caribbean, it had been hired, 180 00:10:03,160 --> 00:10:05,200 Speaker 3: had been as high as a Category four hurricane, but 181 00:10:05,240 --> 00:10:07,920 Speaker 3: then it had lost his strength, and then it gained 182 00:10:07,920 --> 00:10:10,920 Speaker 3: strength again as it came back and made landfall into Texas. 183 00:10:11,280 --> 00:10:14,559 Speaker 3: Category one hurricane is seventy four to ninety five miles 184 00:10:14,600 --> 00:10:18,280 Speaker 3: an hour of wind, and it's a dangerous hurricane. Category 185 00:10:18,320 --> 00:10:20,360 Speaker 3: two is ninety six to one hundred and ten mile 186 00:10:20,400 --> 00:10:22,960 Speaker 3: per hour wind. So Beryl had winds of about one 187 00:10:23,040 --> 00:10:25,960 Speaker 3: hundred miles an hour a little bit more than that. 188 00:10:25,960 --> 00:10:28,839 Speaker 3: That's a lot, but you know, a Category five hurricane 189 00:10:29,080 --> 00:10:31,680 Speaker 3: is one hundred and fifty seven miles an hour faster, 190 00:10:31,840 --> 00:10:35,840 Speaker 3: So it's it was not in the order of hurricanes 191 00:10:35,880 --> 00:10:39,160 Speaker 3: among the strongest in wind. But what happened, you know, 192 00:10:39,240 --> 00:10:42,000 Speaker 3: it was interesting. I think back to something like Hurricane Harvey, 193 00:10:42,400 --> 00:10:44,920 Speaker 3: where we saw a lot of trees that had snapped, 194 00:10:45,000 --> 00:10:47,680 Speaker 3: a lot of telephone poles that had snapped. You know, 195 00:10:47,760 --> 00:10:50,559 Speaker 3: what happened with this is a lot of trees were uprooted, 196 00:10:50,600 --> 00:10:52,480 Speaker 3: and part of it is there was so much rain 197 00:10:53,320 --> 00:10:55,920 Speaker 3: that the soil got very moist, and then the wind 198 00:10:55,920 --> 00:10:58,160 Speaker 3: would literally blow the tree over and so the roots 199 00:10:58,160 --> 00:11:01,480 Speaker 3: would come straight out and the entire tree would topple. 200 00:11:01,520 --> 00:11:03,880 Speaker 3: And so I saw as I was driving around, and 201 00:11:03,920 --> 00:11:07,320 Speaker 3: I spent a lot of time touring around and seeing 202 00:11:07,400 --> 00:11:09,240 Speaker 3: the damage, I saw a lot of trees that had 203 00:11:09,280 --> 00:11:13,280 Speaker 3: been toppled altogether. And that may be it may be 204 00:11:13,480 --> 00:11:16,440 Speaker 3: the combination of rain and wind, but I don't know. 205 00:11:16,520 --> 00:11:21,040 Speaker 3: But for whatever reason, the number of power lines that 206 00:11:21,080 --> 00:11:26,600 Speaker 3: went out exceeded certainly any hurricane in recent history. 207 00:11:27,000 --> 00:11:28,400 Speaker 2: There's a lot of people that are probably going to 208 00:11:28,440 --> 00:11:31,319 Speaker 2: be listening that don't have power. Maybe they've charged their 209 00:11:31,320 --> 00:11:34,640 Speaker 2: phones in their car and they're looking for something to 210 00:11:34,640 --> 00:11:35,599 Speaker 2: take their mind off that. 211 00:11:35,880 --> 00:11:38,319 Speaker 1: What is it looking like for power restoration? What did 212 00:11:38,320 --> 00:11:39,040 Speaker 1: they brief you on. 213 00:11:39,480 --> 00:11:43,559 Speaker 3: Well, that they're systematically making improvements on power restoration. As 214 00:11:43,600 --> 00:11:46,760 Speaker 3: I said, they had brought in over ten thousand Linemen. Now, 215 00:11:46,760 --> 00:11:49,240 Speaker 3: I will say there was a story that broke today 216 00:11:49,440 --> 00:11:53,120 Speaker 3: that was actually get really going after Center Point for 217 00:11:53,320 --> 00:11:57,160 Speaker 3: not having staged out of state Linemen to be prepared 218 00:11:57,280 --> 00:12:01,360 Speaker 3: early on. And there was some real frustration that was 219 00:12:01,400 --> 00:12:07,240 Speaker 3: expressed in terms of Center Point the electric company not 220 00:12:07,480 --> 00:12:09,680 Speaker 3: taking the threat of the of this storm coming to 221 00:12:09,720 --> 00:12:14,640 Speaker 3: Houston seriously enough. Now, today I was down in Galveston, 222 00:12:14,679 --> 00:12:16,560 Speaker 3: I was down at Jamaica Beach. I was down in 223 00:12:17,400 --> 00:12:21,160 Speaker 3: Angleton and Freeport, and and and when I was in Galveston, 224 00:12:21,679 --> 00:12:24,240 Speaker 3: we did a meeting with Lieutenant Governor Dan Patrick. He 225 00:12:24,320 --> 00:12:27,920 Speaker 3: is the acting governor right now because Greg Abbott is 226 00:12:28,000 --> 00:12:30,360 Speaker 3: actually over in Korea on a long planned trip that 227 00:12:30,960 --> 00:12:33,160 Speaker 3: he had he had been on, and so so the 228 00:12:33,200 --> 00:12:36,599 Speaker 3: lieutenant governs the acting governor. And it was interesting, and 229 00:12:36,679 --> 00:12:39,720 Speaker 3: we did a press conference afterwards where reporters were really 230 00:12:39,760 --> 00:12:43,920 Speaker 3: grilling the Lieutenant governor about are you angry at Centerpoint? 231 00:12:43,960 --> 00:12:47,400 Speaker 3: And I'll say, actually, Dan Patrick's a good friend of mine. 232 00:12:47,440 --> 00:12:50,000 Speaker 3: But to his credit, he gave the right answer, which is, look, 233 00:12:50,320 --> 00:12:53,240 Speaker 3: we need to concentrate right now and getting people's power restored. 234 00:12:53,679 --> 00:12:54,240 Speaker 1: There will be. 235 00:12:54,200 --> 00:12:57,520 Speaker 3: Plenty of time to go back and assess what mistakes, 236 00:12:57,559 --> 00:12:59,760 Speaker 3: if any were made, but the time to do it 237 00:12:59,800 --> 00:13:03,120 Speaker 3: is not at a time of emergency. And one of 238 00:13:03,160 --> 00:13:06,199 Speaker 3: the things for folks that listen listen to verdict who 239 00:13:06,200 --> 00:13:10,120 Speaker 3: are not not in Texas, you may not necessarily understand 240 00:13:10,200 --> 00:13:12,720 Speaker 3: why power being down for an extended period of time 241 00:13:13,040 --> 00:13:16,400 Speaker 3: is a health risk. But particularly in a place like 242 00:13:16,480 --> 00:13:20,480 Speaker 3: Houston where it is incredibly hot, you run a real 243 00:13:20,600 --> 00:13:25,200 Speaker 3: risk of heat stroke of people without air conditioning their 244 00:13:25,240 --> 00:13:29,480 Speaker 3: health being at risk. There was down in Galveston. There 245 00:13:29,520 --> 00:13:31,880 Speaker 3: was a gentleman who died because the power went out 246 00:13:31,920 --> 00:13:35,120 Speaker 3: and he was on oxygen and the machine giving him 247 00:13:35,120 --> 00:13:37,480 Speaker 3: oxygen lost power and he didn't have any more batteries 248 00:13:37,480 --> 00:13:41,720 Speaker 3: and that cost his life. There also are people who 249 00:13:41,800 --> 00:13:44,840 Speaker 3: died from carbon monoxide poisoning. So a second thing that 250 00:13:44,920 --> 00:13:48,360 Speaker 3: happens is people set up generators when their power goes down, 251 00:13:48,400 --> 00:13:51,719 Speaker 3: but they don't realize that a generator that has say 252 00:13:51,720 --> 00:13:56,880 Speaker 3: a gasoline or diesel engine, is emitting carbon dioxide, which 253 00:13:56,920 --> 00:14:01,560 Speaker 3: is odorless and and invisible. But if you breathe it 254 00:14:01,600 --> 00:14:03,199 Speaker 3: in So if it's in your house, which is a 255 00:14:03,280 --> 00:14:05,200 Speaker 3: terrible idea, if it's even near the house and near 256 00:14:05,240 --> 00:14:07,079 Speaker 3: a window, you can die from. 257 00:14:06,880 --> 00:14:09,679 Speaker 1: That finally center on this. 258 00:14:10,040 --> 00:14:11,839 Speaker 2: There are some people that listen, and they may be 259 00:14:12,000 --> 00:14:14,200 Speaker 2: out of Texas that are listening and they say, hey, 260 00:14:14,280 --> 00:14:16,559 Speaker 2: we'd love to help. What are the needs and how 261 00:14:16,600 --> 00:14:17,400 Speaker 2: can you help people? 262 00:14:17,960 --> 00:14:19,800 Speaker 3: Well, let me say the number one thing people can 263 00:14:19,880 --> 00:14:22,120 Speaker 3: do is here in Texas. You mentioned that you were 264 00:14:22,120 --> 00:14:25,720 Speaker 3: helping your neighbors clean up trees, clean up, clean up 265 00:14:26,000 --> 00:14:29,440 Speaker 3: all of the debris that's happening all over Texas. And 266 00:14:29,480 --> 00:14:31,680 Speaker 3: I have to say, you know, it's been twelve years 267 00:14:31,680 --> 00:14:34,680 Speaker 3: I've been in the Senate. I've seen dozens, if not 268 00:14:34,880 --> 00:14:37,600 Speaker 3: hundreds of disasters over that time period. Texas is a 269 00:14:37,600 --> 00:14:41,360 Speaker 3: big place. And whether it's hurricanes or tornadoes up in 270 00:14:41,360 --> 00:14:44,600 Speaker 3: the Panhandler Dallas, or the wildfires that were in the Panhandles, 271 00:14:45,160 --> 00:14:49,000 Speaker 3: every time we have a crisis, we see the same thing, 272 00:14:49,040 --> 00:14:52,000 Speaker 3: which is we see Texans helping Texans. We see people 273 00:14:52,000 --> 00:14:56,080 Speaker 3: helping each other out. We see people rescuing people from 274 00:14:56,120 --> 00:14:59,720 Speaker 3: harm's way. Yesterday, as I was going through Houston, I 275 00:14:59,760 --> 00:15:04,880 Speaker 3: help one gentleman lift up his fence and pull it 276 00:15:04,920 --> 00:15:07,040 Speaker 3: out of the way. We stopped at another place and 277 00:15:07,400 --> 00:15:10,280 Speaker 3: helped a family who was trying to trying to cut 278 00:15:10,320 --> 00:15:13,360 Speaker 3: up a tree and dispose of the pieces of the tree. 279 00:15:13,920 --> 00:15:16,440 Speaker 3: That's happening every day. And I'll tell you the churches 280 00:15:16,480 --> 00:15:19,840 Speaker 3: in particular are incredibly active. And I'll give an example. 281 00:15:19,960 --> 00:15:22,800 Speaker 3: Yesterday I went and visited someone you and I both 282 00:15:22,840 --> 00:15:26,200 Speaker 3: know well, Mattress Mack. Mattress Mack is a Houston legend. 283 00:15:27,280 --> 00:15:30,280 Speaker 3: He is a man named Jim mcinvale. He owns Gallery Furniture. 284 00:15:31,240 --> 00:15:33,840 Speaker 3: I grew up as a kid. He would be late 285 00:15:33,960 --> 00:15:36,000 Speaker 3: night on TV and he'd run these ads. He'd be 286 00:15:36,080 --> 00:15:40,480 Speaker 3: yelling on TV, going gallery Furniture, really well, save you money, 287 00:15:40,560 --> 00:15:44,320 Speaker 3: and he'd pull out a lot of money and look. 288 00:15:44,360 --> 00:15:46,880 Speaker 3: It would be on Channel twenty six or thirty nine, 289 00:15:46,880 --> 00:15:50,239 Speaker 3: which were the UHF channels, but he ran him constantly. 290 00:15:50,280 --> 00:15:54,239 Speaker 3: He's an amazing marketer. But he also has an incredible 291 00:15:54,320 --> 00:15:56,600 Speaker 3: heart for Houston. And so what he did during Hurricane 292 00:15:56,600 --> 00:16:00,720 Speaker 3: Harvey and what did during Hurricane Beryl. He opened up 293 00:16:00,760 --> 00:16:02,800 Speaker 3: Gallery Furniture and he said, number one, if you need 294 00:16:02,840 --> 00:16:06,960 Speaker 3: a place to stay, if your home is destroyed, come 295 00:16:07,040 --> 00:16:09,640 Speaker 3: stay here. We have beds, we have couches, we have chairs. 296 00:16:10,240 --> 00:16:13,320 Speaker 3: And he also said, if you need food, come we 297 00:16:13,440 --> 00:16:15,640 Speaker 3: have food. And so I went and visited Mattress back 298 00:16:15,640 --> 00:16:18,280 Speaker 3: at Gallery Furniture yesterday. There were number of Houstonians who 299 00:16:18,280 --> 00:16:22,640 Speaker 3: were taking shelter there yesterday. Mac tested me last night. 300 00:16:23,600 --> 00:16:27,120 Speaker 3: He fed over three thousand Houstonians yesterday. Because all the 301 00:16:27,160 --> 00:16:30,160 Speaker 3: restaurants were closed. You couldn't get food. And by the way, 302 00:16:30,160 --> 00:16:33,200 Speaker 3: if your power is out, your refrigerator or the food 303 00:16:33,240 --> 00:16:35,200 Speaker 3: in there is spoiling. And so he just did. They 304 00:16:35,200 --> 00:16:38,640 Speaker 3: were making brisket and they were just feeding people. If 305 00:16:38,680 --> 00:16:41,080 Speaker 3: you want to help, you can help through your church. 306 00:16:41,120 --> 00:16:42,720 Speaker 3: You can help through the Red Cross, you can help 307 00:16:42,720 --> 00:16:44,000 Speaker 3: through the Salvation Army. 308 00:16:44,440 --> 00:16:44,600 Speaker 4: You know. 309 00:16:44,640 --> 00:16:48,240 Speaker 3: I'll tell you one other story, which is today, I 310 00:16:48,320 --> 00:16:51,320 Speaker 3: was down in Jamaica Beach, which is a smaller beach 311 00:16:51,360 --> 00:16:54,360 Speaker 3: that's part of Galveston, and it was hit pretty hard. 312 00:16:54,400 --> 00:16:58,880 Speaker 3: And I'm visited with a woman whose house was hit 313 00:16:58,920 --> 00:17:02,200 Speaker 3: by a tornado that's spawned within the hurricane, and the 314 00:17:02,240 --> 00:17:04,960 Speaker 3: tornado pulled the roof off her house. I saw the house, 315 00:17:05,000 --> 00:17:07,680 Speaker 3: I saw the roof that had been flung across the road, 316 00:17:08,400 --> 00:17:11,720 Speaker 3: and she described how she called nine to one one 317 00:17:11,800 --> 00:17:14,359 Speaker 3: and the chief of police was there, she said, within 318 00:17:14,440 --> 00:17:18,680 Speaker 3: sixty seconds, and the chief of police. Jamaica Beach is 319 00:17:18,680 --> 00:17:21,040 Speaker 3: a small town, but he came in and he rescued her. 320 00:17:21,080 --> 00:17:22,760 Speaker 3: He brought her out, brought her to the police station, 321 00:17:23,119 --> 00:17:26,919 Speaker 3: which was very close to where her house was. Now, 322 00:17:27,080 --> 00:17:29,679 Speaker 3: what was interesting is the police officers. I was touring 323 00:17:29,720 --> 00:17:32,600 Speaker 3: around the destruction and visiting with the mayor and the 324 00:17:32,640 --> 00:17:35,080 Speaker 3: chief of police and the fire chief and the local officials. 325 00:17:35,440 --> 00:17:37,800 Speaker 3: They showed me another house just a few houses down 326 00:17:38,520 --> 00:17:40,480 Speaker 3: that a big chunk of the roof had come off, 327 00:17:41,240 --> 00:17:42,919 Speaker 3: and an officer had come up and come up the 328 00:17:42,920 --> 00:17:45,080 Speaker 3: stairs and said, you know, sir, do you need to 329 00:17:45,080 --> 00:17:47,680 Speaker 3: be rescued? And the guy said, you know, no, I'm 330 00:17:47,760 --> 00:17:50,520 Speaker 3: just fine. I'm in my bathroom. Leave me alone, which 331 00:17:51,359 --> 00:17:53,520 Speaker 3: I have to admit is a very texted thing to do. 332 00:17:53,600 --> 00:17:56,120 Speaker 1: Also, there's always some people that just sort of. 333 00:17:56,760 --> 00:18:02,520 Speaker 3: Brave it out. But that pattern of people helping people 334 00:18:02,640 --> 00:18:08,560 Speaker 3: helping each other, it is consistent and is inspiring. And 335 00:18:08,600 --> 00:18:12,440 Speaker 3: what's cool about it, Ben is when that happens, there 336 00:18:12,480 --> 00:18:15,200 Speaker 3: are no Republicans and Democrats. There is no race, there 337 00:18:15,240 --> 00:18:18,080 Speaker 3: is no ethnicity, there is no religion. You just have 338 00:18:18,160 --> 00:18:21,400 Speaker 3: Texans helping Texans. You have brothers and sisters helping each other, 339 00:18:21,720 --> 00:18:25,560 Speaker 3: and it's a beautiful, beautiful thing. I am never prouder 340 00:18:25,600 --> 00:18:28,439 Speaker 3: to be a Texan than seeing how people respond in 341 00:18:28,440 --> 00:18:29,320 Speaker 3: times of crisis. 342 00:18:29,640 --> 00:18:32,240 Speaker 2: Yeah, aim into that and watching other people help people, 343 00:18:32,240 --> 00:18:34,959 Speaker 2: like you said, is really I think one of the 344 00:18:35,080 --> 00:18:39,080 Speaker 2: great goods that comes out of these type of events 345 00:18:39,200 --> 00:18:43,240 Speaker 2: is that neighbors meet neighbors, and neighbors become friends and 346 00:18:43,280 --> 00:18:45,840 Speaker 2: people help one another. And it's incredible to see that 347 00:18:45,840 --> 00:18:48,359 Speaker 2: Texas spirit as you describe it, that no doubt about it. 348 00:18:48,600 --> 00:18:51,720 Speaker 3: Well, and the church and the church does what the 349 00:18:51,800 --> 00:18:54,879 Speaker 3: church should do, which is the church should be helping people. 350 00:18:54,960 --> 00:18:57,480 Speaker 3: The Church should be feeding people, the Church should be 351 00:18:57,520 --> 00:19:00,560 Speaker 3: clothing people. And particularly in times of christ is we 352 00:19:00,680 --> 00:19:04,239 Speaker 3: see the church stepping up and that's really important in 353 00:19:04,320 --> 00:19:05,480 Speaker 3: terms of making a difference. 354 00:19:05,800 --> 00:19:06,200 Speaker 1: Yeah. 355 00:19:06,200 --> 00:19:09,560 Speaker 2: Absolutely want to talk about what's happening also in DC. 356 00:19:09,720 --> 00:19:10,919 Speaker 2: We're going to deal with that in a moment, but 357 00:19:10,920 --> 00:19:12,280 Speaker 2: first let me tell you about our friends over a 358 00:19:12,359 --> 00:19:15,160 Speaker 2: Patriot Mobile. If you have a cell phone and your 359 00:19:15,200 --> 00:19:18,199 Speaker 2: cell phone is a big mobile, you may not realize this, 360 00:19:18,400 --> 00:19:22,359 Speaker 2: but you've been helping a lot of democratic candidates, causes 361 00:19:22,520 --> 00:19:26,879 Speaker 2: and radical organizations including Planned Parenthood. Yeah, Big Mobile are 362 00:19:26,880 --> 00:19:29,800 Speaker 2: big supporters of the left, and they're fighting against your 363 00:19:29,960 --> 00:19:33,320 Speaker 2: values and that is exactly why. Ten years ago, more 364 00:19:33,359 --> 00:19:35,679 Speaker 2: than ten years ago, actually, Patriot Mobile was started by 365 00:19:35,680 --> 00:19:38,119 Speaker 2: a group of consertives that said, hey, we're not going 366 00:19:38,160 --> 00:19:40,480 Speaker 2: to give our money these companies that are giving our 367 00:19:40,600 --> 00:19:43,840 Speaker 2: cash when we pay our bill to plan parenthood into 368 00:19:43,920 --> 00:19:48,040 Speaker 2: other organizations like that, they started Patriot Mobile, and now, 369 00:19:48,320 --> 00:19:50,840 Speaker 2: more than ever, in twenty twenty four, it is easy 370 00:19:50,880 --> 00:19:54,480 Speaker 2: to switch your provider.

And that's another 374 00:20:02,400 --> 00:20:06,480 Speaker 2: reason why you should call Patriot Mobile. I've switched my 375 00:20:06,560 --> 00:20:09,960 Speaker 2: lines over and I can tell you my coverage is phenomenal. 376 00:20:10,080 --> 00:20:13,639 Speaker 2: Even during this hurricane, I had the service that I needed. 377 00:20:14,000 --> 00:20:16,960 Speaker 2: So if you want to make the switch, call them 378 00:20:17,040 --> 00:20:19,280 Speaker 2: right now.

Obviously in DC it is still a 394 00:21:10,760 --> 00:21:15,240 Speaker 2: full blown civil war within the Democratic Party right now. 395 00:21:15,680 --> 00:21:20,760 Speaker 2: The President trying a new tactic sending letters to major 396 00:21:20,800 --> 00:21:24,840 Speaker 2: players and Democratic parties saying hey and notes, I'm the guy. 397 00:21:25,040 --> 00:21:26,880 Speaker 2: You're not going to get rid of me. You can 398 00:21:26,960 --> 00:21:31,479 Speaker 2: panic all you want to, but we're not moving. And 399 00:21:31,560 --> 00:21:34,760 Speaker 2: this is more Democrats have actually been coming out publicly 400 00:21:34,880 --> 00:21:37,720 Speaker 2: saying he must step aside. 401 00:21:37,880 --> 00:21:40,520 Speaker 3: Well, that's right. It's it's been a virtual avalanche of 402 00:21:41,000 --> 00:21:44,200 Speaker 3: number one Democrats trying to push him out, but number 403 00:21:44,200 --> 00:21:47,439 Speaker 3: two the media really freaking out, and the corporate media 404 00:21:47,480 --> 00:21:52,359 Speaker 3: has been in many ways the most important ally of 405 00:21:52,400 --> 00:21:56,159 Speaker 3: the Democrats. They've been radicalized, they've abandoned their role of 406 00:21:56,240 --> 00:22:01,320 Speaker 3: journalism because they are the left wing of the Democrat Party. 407 00:22:01,400 --> 00:22:06,639 Speaker 3: It is striking to suddenly see the corporate media actually 408 00:22:06,720 --> 00:22:12,520 Speaker 3: reporting on the the very significant health challenges uh that 409 00:22:12,520 --> 00:22:15,920 Speaker 3: that that Biden is presenting. And by the way, those 410 00:22:15,960 --> 00:22:18,520 Speaker 3: health challenges were there before the debate. They're just freaking 411 00:22:18,560 --> 00:22:21,040 Speaker 3: out now because they don't think he can win. But 412 00:22:21,040 --> 00:22:24,120 Speaker 3: but for example, I want folks to listen to this 413 00:22:24,200 --> 00:22:28,480 Speaker 3: is a story that that that that NBC News ran today. 414 00:22:28,480 --> 00:22:31,520 Speaker 3: Now this is not Fox News, this is not a 415 00:22:31,600 --> 00:22:33,520 Speaker 3: right wing source. This is Nbcity. 416 00:22:33,560 --> 00:22:35,679 Speaker 2: Say, can you just take a moment and let's just 417 00:22:35,760 --> 00:22:38,280 Speaker 2: savor the not only hypocrisy, but the fact that you 418 00:22:38,440 --> 00:22:42,800 Speaker 2: just said, this is NBC News that's doing. 419 00:22:42,600 --> 00:22:44,720 Speaker 1: What we're about to play. You just give a listen 420 00:22:45,240 --> 00:22:46,399 Speaker 1: to talk more about. 421 00:22:46,119 --> 00:22:49,239 Speaker 4: Those eight White House visits by the Parkinson's expert. I'm 422 00:22:49,280 --> 00:22:52,440 Speaker 4: joined tonight by doctor Tom Pitts. He's a quadruple board 423 00:22:52,480 --> 00:22:56,399 Speaker 4: certified neurologist. He sees patients with Parkinson's all the time, 424 00:22:56,560 --> 00:22:59,160 Speaker 4: he diagnoses it. I want to be completely transparent here. 425 00:22:59,280 --> 00:23:01,879 Speaker 4: You've never exist and President Biden, from my knowledge, you 426 00:23:01,920 --> 00:23:02,639 Speaker 4: never even spoke. 427 00:23:02,960 --> 00:23:05,000 Speaker 1: Have you spoken yet? That's a President. 428 00:23:04,680 --> 00:23:06,960 Speaker 5: Biden in the Yeah, and we're just going to use 429 00:23:07,000 --> 00:23:09,080 Speaker 5: what we have so far, which is what we've seen 430 00:23:09,320 --> 00:23:11,679 Speaker 5: the president's interviews and the information coming out of the 431 00:23:11,680 --> 00:23:13,600 Speaker 5: White House. So my first question to you is, as 432 00:23:13,600 --> 00:23:16,919 Speaker 5: somebody who's a neurologist, what you've seen from the president 433 00:23:16,920 --> 00:23:18,959 Speaker 5: over the last two years, what you saw at the debate, 434 00:23:19,240 --> 00:23:22,440 Speaker 5: the last few interviews, the way he speaks, the way 435 00:23:22,480 --> 00:23:23,560 Speaker 5: maybe he walks. 436 00:23:23,800 --> 00:23:26,440 Speaker 4: Have you noticed anything that gives you a red flag? 437 00:23:26,640 --> 00:23:27,240 Speaker 1: As a doctor? 438 00:23:27,440 --> 00:23:27,560 Speaker 4: Oh? 439 00:23:27,600 --> 00:23:29,600 Speaker 6: Yeah, I see him twenty times a day in clinic. 440 00:23:29,640 --> 00:23:32,800 Speaker 6: I mean it's ironic because he has just classic features 441 00:23:32,800 --> 00:23:35,960 Speaker 6: of nerd degeneration. I mean word finding difficulties. And that's 442 00:23:35,960 --> 00:23:38,280 Speaker 6: not oh I couldn't find the word. That's from degeneration 443 00:23:38,520 --> 00:23:39,760 Speaker 6: of the word retrieval area. 444 00:23:39,840 --> 00:23:42,840 Speaker 4: He's also overcome stuttering though, could that be part of 445 00:23:42,840 --> 00:23:43,200 Speaker 4: that too. 446 00:23:43,320 --> 00:23:46,000 Speaker 6: No, this is not a palattle issue or a speech discrepancy, 447 00:23:46,000 --> 00:23:48,639 Speaker 6: which is very different from a lemon nod dysfunction actual 448 00:23:48,640 --> 00:23:51,800 Speaker 6: word retrieval where you pick a similar question or talk 449 00:23:51,840 --> 00:23:55,880 Speaker 6: around the issue. Plus the rigidity monotone voice. 450 00:23:55,640 --> 00:23:56,280 Speaker 1: Wait, go back to that. 451 00:23:56,320 --> 00:24:00,440 Speaker 6: The rigidity, rigid loss of arms, swinging, standing up, lordly. 452 00:24:00,760 --> 00:24:03,240 Speaker 6: You notice when he turns, it's kind of n block turning. 453 00:24:03,320 --> 00:24:06,480 Speaker 6: It's not a quick turn. So that's one of the 454 00:24:06,480 --> 00:24:10,960 Speaker 6: hallmarks of Parkinson's is rigidity and brady Kinesia's slow movement, 455 00:24:11,280 --> 00:24:13,960 Speaker 6: and he has that hallmark, especially with the low voices. 456 00:24:14,000 --> 00:24:18,960 Speaker 6: That was a cold hypophonia. A small monotone voice like 457 00:24:19,000 --> 00:24:22,000 Speaker 6: this over time is a hallmark of parkinsonism. I could 458 00:24:22,000 --> 00:24:23,640 Speaker 6: have diagnosed him from across the mall. 459 00:24:24,240 --> 00:24:26,479 Speaker 2: Let's just stop there and we'll play more of this, 460 00:24:26,640 --> 00:24:30,560 Speaker 2: But I have to get your this reaction. If you 461 00:24:30,880 --> 00:24:35,040 Speaker 2: had a conservative news outlet, let's just use Fox News 462 00:24:35,119 --> 00:24:38,440 Speaker 2: Channel for example, that would have done this same exact 463 00:24:38,480 --> 00:24:41,040 Speaker 2: segment three and a half weeks ago. 464 00:24:41,960 --> 00:24:42,600 Speaker 1: They would have. 465 00:24:42,560 --> 00:24:46,359 Speaker 2: Been calling for this, for this doctor to be to 466 00:24:46,400 --> 00:24:49,560 Speaker 2: lose his medical license. They would have the White House 467 00:24:49,600 --> 00:24:52,520 Speaker 2: would have fought back vigorously and said that this is 468 00:24:52,600 --> 00:24:56,480 Speaker 2: just evil and sick and perverted, and that this is irresponsible. 469 00:24:56,880 --> 00:24:59,280 Speaker 2: But NBC News is doing it now, trying to take 470 00:24:59,320 --> 00:25:02,160 Speaker 2: out Joe Biden because they think he's gonna lose, and 471 00:25:02,200 --> 00:25:05,639 Speaker 2: they give a doctor six minutes. We've only played a 472 00:25:05,640 --> 00:25:08,359 Speaker 2: minute and a half of this to tell you why 473 00:25:08,400 --> 00:25:11,119 Speaker 2: he believes the president has Parkinson's. 474 00:25:11,800 --> 00:25:15,480 Speaker 3: Yeah, look, it's stunning, and you're right. The corporate media 475 00:25:15,520 --> 00:25:18,240 Speaker 3: would have lost their mind a month ago. If any 476 00:25:18,320 --> 00:25:21,520 Speaker 3: right of center center outlet aired this identical piece, The 477 00:25:21,560 --> 00:25:24,600 Speaker 3: New York Times would be clutching their pearls. They would say, 478 00:25:24,600 --> 00:25:27,760 Speaker 3: this is this is voodoo medicine, this is that, this 479 00:25:27,840 --> 00:25:31,919 Speaker 3: is an utter lie, this is unprincipled fiction. That's what 480 00:25:31,960 --> 00:25:35,479 Speaker 3: they would have said. And now you see NBC, you 481 00:25:35,520 --> 00:25:39,640 Speaker 3: see the corporate media desperately, desperately trying to do everything 482 00:25:39,680 --> 00:25:42,639 Speaker 3: they can. My favorite line of this doctor was I 483 00:25:42,680 --> 00:25:46,719 Speaker 3: would have diagnosed him from across the mall, which, by 484 00:25:46,760 --> 00:25:49,280 Speaker 3: the way, you and I argued right before we tape 485 00:25:49,280 --> 00:25:52,840 Speaker 3: this pod. You thought he meant the National Mall. I 486 00:25:52,880 --> 00:25:56,000 Speaker 3: don't think so. I think he means like Joe's Shopping Center. 487 00:25:56,240 --> 00:26:01,120 Speaker 2: Yeah, you may be right. And by the way, NBC, 488 00:26:01,520 --> 00:26:04,280 Speaker 2: was it done. Listen to the second part of this. 489 00:26:05,160 --> 00:26:06,359 Speaker 6: I'm up there on the screen if you can put 490 00:26:06,400 --> 00:26:06,760 Speaker 6: him back. 491 00:26:07,320 --> 00:26:08,560 Speaker 1: What about the movement? 492 00:26:08,640 --> 00:26:11,440 Speaker 4: Some people have pointed out the way he walks sometimes 493 00:26:11,440 --> 00:26:14,400 Speaker 4: it's not very fast, small steps. Is that something that 494 00:26:14,400 --> 00:26:16,960 Speaker 4: that is common in people were battling a. 495 00:26:16,880 --> 00:26:19,600 Speaker 6: Disease like Parkinson it's a hallmark shuffling gait. We call 496 00:26:19,680 --> 00:26:22,720 Speaker 6: that so little steps, loss of arms, swing from the 497 00:26:22,800 --> 00:26:24,760 Speaker 6: rigidity when we walk, we have a nice cadence. He 498 00:26:24,760 --> 00:26:26,840 Speaker 6: you knows he doesn't really swing his arms and ND 499 00:26:26,840 --> 00:26:30,240 Speaker 6: block turning, meaning he kind of pivots around his foot. 500 00:26:30,440 --> 00:26:33,000 Speaker 6: If you said, hey, President Biden, he wouldn't go like this. 501 00:26:33,760 --> 00:26:35,080 Speaker 6: Oh yeah, But I also. 502 00:26:34,840 --> 00:26:36,360 Speaker 1: Know I also don't tell me if I'm wrong here. 503 00:26:36,400 --> 00:26:39,119 Speaker 1: It's very hard to diagnose Parkinson's, isn't it. It's not 504 00:26:39,240 --> 00:26:41,280 Speaker 1: It's not simple. I mean I've heard that it can be. 505 00:26:41,480 --> 00:26:45,000 Speaker 6: I heard the one of the easier movement disorders to diagnose. Actually, right, 506 00:26:45,040 --> 00:26:47,200 Speaker 6: but it's so clinic. There's there's very little others. And 507 00:26:47,240 --> 00:26:49,040 Speaker 6: I'm you know, I'm a Democrat. I always say, yeah, 508 00:26:49,040 --> 00:26:51,679 Speaker 6: at this right, It's just like this guy is not 509 00:26:51,720 --> 00:26:52,440 Speaker 6: a hard case. 510 00:26:52,480 --> 00:26:54,600 Speaker 4: But I've had I've had relatives who have gone through issues, 511 00:26:54,680 --> 00:26:57,840 Speaker 4: neurological issues, and I've heard that sometimes Parkinson's is not 512 00:26:58,040 --> 00:26:58,800 Speaker 4: very easy to nail. 513 00:26:59,080 --> 00:27:01,280 Speaker 1: You have to take a lot of there's I mean. 514 00:27:01,560 --> 00:27:04,200 Speaker 6: It's early on if you're just present with like hallucinations 515 00:27:04,200 --> 00:27:06,040 Speaker 6: that could be a variety of things or just the 516 00:27:06,080 --> 00:27:10,239 Speaker 6: cognitive problems that could be Alzheimer's versus parkinsonism, and that 517 00:27:10,280 --> 00:27:13,000 Speaker 6: becomes a little nebulous. But once you start manifesting the 518 00:27:13,040 --> 00:27:18,480 Speaker 6: hallmark motor symptoms, right, slow movement, rigidity, mass faces, hypophonia. 519 00:27:18,560 --> 00:27:21,040 Speaker 6: I mean, if a med student did not pick Parkinson's 520 00:27:21,040 --> 00:27:22,400 Speaker 6: on the test, they. 521 00:27:22,400 --> 00:27:24,520 Speaker 4: Just mediated, let me ask you if you had. If 522 00:27:24,520 --> 00:27:26,919 Speaker 4: you had, you know, and I know you can't. You 523 00:27:27,000 --> 00:27:28,399 Speaker 4: have no idea what happened in the White House. But 524 00:27:28,640 --> 00:27:31,199 Speaker 4: a neurologist coming eight times in eight months, does that 525 00:27:31,240 --> 00:27:31,919 Speaker 4: tell you anything? 526 00:27:32,000 --> 00:27:32,720 Speaker 1: Is that? Is that? 527 00:27:32,840 --> 00:27:34,800 Speaker 4: I mean, I know you're just you're just sort of 528 00:27:35,400 --> 00:27:37,119 Speaker 4: speculating here, but does that tell you anything? 529 00:27:37,200 --> 00:27:37,320 Speaker 7: Or no? 530 00:27:37,440 --> 00:27:38,600 Speaker 6: Well, I mean I don't know if they're like the 531 00:27:38,600 --> 00:27:40,840 Speaker 6: best of friends or something. But that's a very specific 532 00:27:40,920 --> 00:27:43,720 Speaker 6: you know, he's a movement disorder. That's a subspecialist and 533 00:27:43,760 --> 00:27:46,159 Speaker 6: exactly what he has. And there's very few young people, 534 00:27:46,240 --> 00:27:49,200 Speaker 6: like a marine guard, most people would be med boarded 535 00:27:49,240 --> 00:27:51,560 Speaker 6: out for any type of movement disorder at a young age, 536 00:27:51,600 --> 00:27:55,960 Speaker 6: Like if you had Huntington's Korea early on set Parkinson's dystonia, 537 00:27:56,560 --> 00:27:58,959 Speaker 6: bad essential tremor, you're usually med boarded out. 538 00:27:59,000 --> 00:28:00,840 Speaker 1: So I highly doubt there's does that mean med boarder. 539 00:28:01,200 --> 00:28:01,600 Speaker 1: I mean the. 540 00:28:01,560 --> 00:28:04,280 Speaker 6: Military would not let you if you have seizures, for example, 541 00:28:04,440 --> 00:28:06,240 Speaker 6: you cannot usually be in the military. 542 00:28:06,359 --> 00:28:08,200 Speaker 1: That is, you are medical saying. 543 00:28:07,920 --> 00:28:11,359 Speaker 4: You're seeing you don't necessarily believe. And they're not saying this, 544 00:28:11,480 --> 00:28:13,800 Speaker 4: but they said, there's thousands of military members that go 545 00:28:13,840 --> 00:28:15,360 Speaker 4: to the White House that treated there. 546 00:28:15,480 --> 00:28:16,840 Speaker 1: For health reasons. 547 00:28:16,920 --> 00:28:20,000 Speaker 4: Yeah, you're not buying that that's a random military person. 548 00:28:20,040 --> 00:28:22,000 Speaker 6: No, that would be very odd to just see a 549 00:28:22,080 --> 00:28:24,879 Speaker 6: random movement disorder case at the White House, you know, 550 00:28:25,040 --> 00:28:27,159 Speaker 6: especially a young guard. There are many young people that 551 00:28:27,160 --> 00:28:29,840 Speaker 6: have movement disorders that could be in the military. 552 00:28:30,359 --> 00:28:32,399 Speaker 1: And then let's just stop there. 553 00:28:32,800 --> 00:28:35,640 Speaker 2: Not only did they bring the Parkinson's doctor on, they 554 00:28:35,720 --> 00:28:38,200 Speaker 2: then set them up to say the White House are 555 00:28:38,280 --> 00:28:42,600 Speaker 2: lying to you and they're liars. They're not treating thousands 556 00:28:42,720 --> 00:28:46,440 Speaker 2: of people on the White House grounds for medical disorders 557 00:28:46,440 --> 00:28:49,320 Speaker 2: as he described it. And the doctor's like, you wouldn't 558 00:28:49,360 --> 00:28:51,600 Speaker 2: do those tests there by the way, I believe this doctor. 559 00:28:51,640 --> 00:28:54,760 Speaker 2: I think it's absurd to tell the American people, as 560 00:28:54,800 --> 00:28:57,160 Speaker 2: the White House did this week, that oh, this guy's 561 00:28:57,200 --> 00:28:59,280 Speaker 2: coming once a month for eight months in a row 562 00:28:59,320 --> 00:29:02,080 Speaker 2: to treat Thou's a military personnel that happened to work 563 00:29:02,120 --> 00:29:04,800 Speaker 2: at the White House. This guy's saying, there's no way 564 00:29:04,920 --> 00:29:05,680 Speaker 2: that happens. 565 00:29:06,320 --> 00:29:11,080 Speaker 3: Yeah, look the symptoms that he's describing. Everyone who had eyes, 566 00:29:11,160 --> 00:29:13,360 Speaker 3: everyone who's watched Joe Biden for the last three and 567 00:29:13,360 --> 00:29:16,440 Speaker 3: a half years has seen those symptoms. They've been obvious. 568 00:29:16,560 --> 00:29:18,800 Speaker 3: Is just now that the press is allowing them to 569 00:29:18,800 --> 00:29:21,960 Speaker 3: be spoken of. And I got to say, just the contrast. 570 00:29:22,880 --> 00:29:26,320 Speaker 3: So let me read a headline from NBC News which was, 571 00:29:26,680 --> 00:29:31,960 Speaker 3: quote Biden hasn't seen neurologists outside annual physicals, white House 572 00:29:32,000 --> 00:29:36,360 Speaker 3: doctor says in letter addressing Parkinson's expert visits. President Joe 573 00:29:36,400 --> 00:29:39,280 Speaker 3: Biden had a physical in February and showed no signs 574 00:29:39,320 --> 00:29:44,200 Speaker 3: of neurological disorder, including Parkinson's disease. White House physician Kevin 575 00:29:44,240 --> 00:29:46,280 Speaker 3: O'Connor wrote, So that was just a few days ago. 576 00:29:46,800 --> 00:29:48,800 Speaker 3: Now let me read you what the AP just reported. 577 00:29:48,880 --> 00:29:52,440 Speaker 3: Quote President Joe Biden saw a neurologist at the White 578 00:29:52,440 --> 00:29:56,240 Speaker 3: House on January seventeenth for a neurological exam, the results 579 00:29:56,240 --> 00:29:59,160 Speaker 3: of which were later reported as part of his annual physical. 580 00:29:59,200 --> 00:30:00,840 Speaker 3: More than a month later, or the White House said 581 00:30:00,840 --> 00:30:04,440 Speaker 3: on Tuesday. The confirmation came after White House Press Secretary 582 00:30:04,520 --> 00:30:07,920 Speaker 3: Kaarin John Pierre inaccurately said during the Daily briefing with 583 00:30:08,000 --> 00:30:11,840 Speaker 3: reporters that the January seventeen meeting was not related to 584 00:30:11,880 --> 00:30:15,320 Speaker 3: care for the President in response to a question from 585 00:30:15,320 --> 00:30:18,239 Speaker 3: the Associated Press. So now the White House is just 586 00:30:18,400 --> 00:30:21,760 Speaker 3: getting caught flat out lying that no, he's not seeing 587 00:30:21,800 --> 00:30:24,880 Speaker 3: a neurologist. Well, yes he is, actually, and it happens 588 00:30:24,920 --> 00:30:27,760 Speaker 3: to be the neurologist who's an expert in Parkinson's. 589 00:30:28,400 --> 00:30:33,320 Speaker 2: So this brings me to the big question the president 590 00:30:33,400 --> 00:30:36,880 Speaker 2: sending the notes. You have the squad that's backed in 591 00:30:36,960 --> 00:30:39,560 Speaker 2: the Congressional Black Caucus is saying, hey, we need to 592 00:30:39,600 --> 00:30:42,440 Speaker 2: put this all to bed. Joe's our guide. Joe's made 593 00:30:42,480 --> 00:30:44,800 Speaker 2: it clear, Hey, I'm not going anywhere. He did that 594 00:30:44,880 --> 00:30:47,200 Speaker 2: on morning Joe. We mentioned that my last pot, I think. 595 00:30:48,120 --> 00:30:52,080 Speaker 2: And then you've got this going on with the media. 596 00:30:52,200 --> 00:30:55,080 Speaker 2: They're still putting the four court press here saying not 597 00:30:55,120 --> 00:30:58,000 Speaker 2: only is a White House lying to you, but we're 598 00:30:58,000 --> 00:31:00,560 Speaker 2: going to prove it in essence. That's why they did 599 00:31:00,560 --> 00:31:04,440 Speaker 2: this long interview. Now you gotta look at the calendar. 600 00:31:05,160 --> 00:31:07,680 Speaker 2: Joe Biden is supposed to be on the debate stage 601 00:31:07,680 --> 00:31:14,200 Speaker 2: with Donald Trump September tenth on ABC News. ABC News, 602 00:31:14,360 --> 00:31:16,320 Speaker 2: by the way, has been attacking the president as well. 603 00:31:16,360 --> 00:31:20,120 Speaker 2: Stepanopoulos said after doing the interview with the President that 604 00:31:20,240 --> 00:31:22,760 Speaker 2: was supposed to quote save him the other day, that 605 00:31:22,920 --> 00:31:24,920 Speaker 2: he said, there's no way he believes the president could 606 00:31:24,960 --> 00:31:26,640 Speaker 2: serve for another four years. 607 00:31:27,760 --> 00:31:31,000 Speaker 1: Does he show up with this debate? Does he cancel it? 608 00:31:31,080 --> 00:31:33,280 Speaker 2: Does he have to show up to have a chance 609 00:31:33,280 --> 00:31:35,920 Speaker 2: in helln in November if he's still the nominee. 610 00:31:36,320 --> 00:31:38,920 Speaker 3: So I don't believe there will be a debate between 611 00:31:38,960 --> 00:31:42,240 Speaker 3: Donald Trump and Joe Biden in September. I don't think 612 00:31:42,240 --> 00:31:44,640 Speaker 3: it'll happen now. Look, I don't think Joe Biden will 613 00:31:44,640 --> 00:31:47,160 Speaker 3: be the nominee in September. I continue to believe there's 614 00:31:47,160 --> 00:31:50,240 Speaker 3: an eighty percent chance that he's not the nominee. He's 615 00:31:50,280 --> 00:31:52,600 Speaker 3: digging in, he's holding on with all of his might. 616 00:31:53,040 --> 00:31:56,400 Speaker 3: But all right, here's another story that shows the press 617 00:31:56,400 --> 00:32:00,480 Speaker 3: turning on him. This is from the Wall Street Journal quote. 618 00:32:00,600 --> 00:32:04,800 Speaker 3: German officials, aware of Biden's fatigue at night, sought to 619 00:32:04,800 --> 00:32:07,920 Speaker 3: accommodate the president by planning a June twenty twenty two 620 00:32:07,960 --> 00:32:11,719 Speaker 3: event with German Chancellor Olaf Schultz in the early evening. 621 00:32:12,560 --> 00:32:16,200 Speaker 3: The informal event, a soiree at the alpine resort Schlas 622 00:32:16,320 --> 00:32:20,360 Speaker 3: el Maou during the Group of Seven summit, was arranged 623 00:32:20,560 --> 00:32:23,680 Speaker 3: as a confidential meeting on Ukraine in a relaxed setting. 624 00:32:24,760 --> 00:32:30,640 Speaker 3: Biden didn't show, surprising the Chancellor and his aides, officials said. Instead, 625 00:32:30,720 --> 00:32:34,200 Speaker 3: Secretary of State Antony Blinken arrived and announced that Biden 626 00:32:34,280 --> 00:32:36,600 Speaker 3: had to go to bed. According to two people who 627 00:32:36,640 --> 00:32:39,800 Speaker 3: were there, so he is now no longer able to 628 00:32:39,840 --> 00:32:42,920 Speaker 3: stay up to meet with heads of state to discuss 629 00:32:43,120 --> 00:32:47,880 Speaker 3: matters of war and peace. That's dangerous and the press 630 00:32:47,920 --> 00:32:48,760 Speaker 3: is reporting on it. 631 00:32:50,680 --> 00:32:55,120 Speaker 2: And to make that point, Peter Doucy asked the question 632 00:32:55,240 --> 00:32:58,719 Speaker 2: at the White House from Fox Today. Hey, if the 633 00:32:58,760 --> 00:33:01,280 Speaker 2: president's only the president until I don't know, eight o'clock 634 00:33:01,320 --> 00:33:04,200 Speaker 2: at night, what happens if someone shoots at nuke? 635 00:33:04,440 --> 00:33:05,920 Speaker 1: Listen to this well. 636 00:33:06,040 --> 00:33:10,680 Speaker 6: He also said he's sharpest before eight pm. So say 637 00:33:10,680 --> 00:33:13,680 Speaker 6: that the Pentagon at some point picks up an incoming nuke, 638 00:33:14,000 --> 00:33:14,920 Speaker 6: it's eleven pm. 639 00:33:15,800 --> 00:33:17,160 Speaker 1: Who do you call the first lady? 640 00:33:18,280 --> 00:33:20,840 Speaker 8: He has a team that lets him know of any 641 00:33:21,160 --> 00:33:23,760 Speaker 8: of any news that is pertinent and important to the 642 00:33:23,800 --> 00:33:28,720 Speaker 8: American people. He has someone or that is decided obviously 643 00:33:28,920 --> 00:33:31,800 Speaker 8: with his National Security Council, and who gets to tell 644 00:33:31,840 --> 00:33:32,760 Speaker 8: him that news. 645 00:33:33,320 --> 00:33:37,120 Speaker 2: I mean, even her response was so timid because like, yeah, 646 00:33:37,160 --> 00:33:40,440 Speaker 2: you got us there. That was just weird. She's like, 647 00:33:40,600 --> 00:33:43,600 Speaker 2: he's got a team. So is the team running the 648 00:33:43,640 --> 00:33:46,360 Speaker 2: country or people that are elected by no one running 649 00:33:46,360 --> 00:33:49,719 Speaker 2: the country after eight o'clock at night. Now, before you 650 00:33:49,760 --> 00:33:52,640 Speaker 2: answer that, I want to take a moment and say 651 00:33:52,720 --> 00:33:55,120 Speaker 2: thank you to so many of you that have gotten 652 00:33:55,160 --> 00:33:58,920 Speaker 2: involved to help the people in Israel. Since October the seventh, 653 00:33:58,920 --> 00:34:02,600 Speaker 2: the attacks in Israel have increased, with a Ran and 654 00:34:02,680 --> 00:34:07,640 Speaker 2: its proxies launching attack after attack, day after day, week 655 00:34:07,680 --> 00:34:12,799 Speaker 2: after week, month after month from drones and missiles. Israelis 656 00:34:12,840 --> 00:34:16,000 Speaker 2: have been living with a harsh reality of real terror 657 00:34:16,400 --> 00:34:19,839 Speaker 2: every single day. That is where your help has come in. 658 00:34:20,000 --> 00:34:23,759 Speaker 2: The International Fellowship of Christians and Jews has been on 659 00:34:23,800 --> 00:34:27,440 Speaker 2: the ground day one addressing all of the urgent needs 660 00:34:27,480 --> 00:34:31,719 Speaker 2: and those constantly keep changing. That is why I want 661 00:34:31,760 --> 00:34:35,400 Speaker 2: you to help with the people in Israel that need 662 00:34:35,440 --> 00:34:39,600 Speaker 2: it now more than ever.

I gotta 679 00:35:46,200 --> 00:35:49,560 Speaker 2: go back to just the White House here for her 680 00:35:49,680 --> 00:35:53,160 Speaker 2: response is he has a team, so calm down. 681 00:35:53,280 --> 00:35:54,440 Speaker 1: The president's sleeping. 682 00:35:54,960 --> 00:35:58,040 Speaker 2: I don't think that sits well with the American people anymore. 683 00:35:58,760 --> 00:36:01,839 Speaker 3: No, it doesn't that's actually it terrifying response that if 684 00:36:01,880 --> 00:36:05,320 Speaker 3: something happens at eleven PM, well, Joe Biden's not capable 685 00:36:05,320 --> 00:36:06,959 Speaker 3: to deal with it, but he has a team. There's 686 00:36:06,960 --> 00:36:09,840 Speaker 3: some underlaying appointed to the National Security Council, and the 687 00:36:09,920 --> 00:36:12,920 Speaker 3: Underlincoln deal with it. And you know, in response to that, 688 00:36:13,520 --> 00:36:16,560 Speaker 3: I want to play a political ad. Just listen to 689 00:36:16,640 --> 00:36:18,160 Speaker 3: this ad and then we're going to talk about what 690 00:36:18,200 --> 00:36:18,560 Speaker 3: it was. 691 00:36:19,920 --> 00:36:22,520 Speaker 7: It's three am and your children are safe into sleep, 692 00:36:23,200 --> 00:36:25,160 Speaker 7: but there's a phone in the White House, and it's 693 00:36:25,160 --> 00:36:29,760 Speaker 7: really something's happening in the world. Your vote will decide 694 00:36:29,800 --> 00:36:33,080 Speaker 7: who answers that call, whether it's someone who already knows 695 00:36:33,080 --> 00:36:36,560 Speaker 7: the world's leaders, knows the military, someone tested and ready 696 00:36:36,560 --> 00:36:40,239 Speaker 7: to lead in a dangerous world. It's three am and 697 00:36:40,320 --> 00:36:43,239 Speaker 7: your children are safe into sleep. Who do you want 698 00:36:43,360 --> 00:36:44,360 Speaker 7: answering the phone? 699 00:36:46,960 --> 00:36:49,360 Speaker 6: I'm Hillary Clinton and I approved this message. 700 00:36:49,600 --> 00:36:53,080 Speaker 2: No, I mean they made this the issue, mister senator, 701 00:36:53,200 --> 00:36:55,680 Speaker 2: right like they're like, you want to be mister president, 702 00:36:55,840 --> 00:36:58,400 Speaker 2: then you better answer that call at three am. 703 00:36:58,560 --> 00:37:01,560 Speaker 3: Well, and let me say to folks listening to this podcast, 704 00:37:01,640 --> 00:37:05,520 Speaker 3: to who are relatively young, you may not have heard 705 00:37:05,520 --> 00:37:07,399 Speaker 3: that ad before. You might have been thinking as you're 706 00:37:07,400 --> 00:37:10,319 Speaker 3: listening to this ad, Wow, this is a new Trump ad. 707 00:37:10,360 --> 00:37:13,239 Speaker 3: This is a really powerful Trump ad. But then at 708 00:37:13,280 --> 00:37:15,520 Speaker 3: the very end you get I'm Hillary Clinton and I 709 00:37:15,560 --> 00:37:18,920 Speaker 3: approved this message. So Hillary Clinton ran that ad in 710 00:37:19,280 --> 00:37:22,360 Speaker 3: the year two thousand and eight, and she was running 711 00:37:22,360 --> 00:37:25,440 Speaker 3: it against Barack Obama. She was saying Barack Obama was 712 00:37:25,480 --> 00:37:28,400 Speaker 3: young and inexperienced, and she was much better able to 713 00:37:28,440 --> 00:37:32,279 Speaker 3: answer the phone than he was. Now, regardless of who 714 00:37:32,360 --> 00:37:36,759 Speaker 3: was right in that argument, Today's Biden Whitehouse. It's not 715 00:37:36,800 --> 00:37:40,040 Speaker 3: a three am phone call. They're saying at eleven pm, sorry, 716 00:37:40,080 --> 00:37:42,719 Speaker 3: there is no commander in chief, but you know the 717 00:37:42,760 --> 00:37:46,239 Speaker 3: deputy special assistant is here and ready to solve the problem. 718 00:37:46,800 --> 00:37:48,759 Speaker 2: Well, it also says the world leaders, and it is 719 00:37:48,880 --> 00:37:51,920 Speaker 2: terrifying to think about this, Hey, here are the best 720 00:37:51,960 --> 00:37:55,960 Speaker 2: hours to do something, whether it's attack this country, whether 721 00:37:56,080 --> 00:37:58,680 Speaker 2: you're a terrorists, or whether it's to do something around 722 00:37:58,719 --> 00:38:01,880 Speaker 2: the world, because this will be a long period of 723 00:38:01,880 --> 00:38:06,319 Speaker 2: time before you get a awake president that would even 724 00:38:06,400 --> 00:38:08,560 Speaker 2: respond or say anything. 725 00:38:09,880 --> 00:38:14,080 Speaker 3: You know it is. It's why I do not believe 726 00:38:14,120 --> 00:38:17,280 Speaker 3: Biden is going to be the nominee, because the facts 727 00:38:17,320 --> 00:38:21,520 Speaker 3: are piling up and it's becoming indefensible. It may be 728 00:38:21,640 --> 00:38:25,319 Speaker 3: Michelle Obama, it may be Kamala Harris, but I think 729 00:38:25,360 --> 00:38:29,320 Speaker 3: the d's that they are going to pull the plug. 730 00:38:29,400 --> 00:38:33,480 Speaker 3: They are terrified, they are panicking, and every day as 731 00:38:33,480 --> 00:38:39,080 Speaker 3: the press continues to turn. Look, you mentioned George Stephanopolis. 732 00:38:39,080 --> 00:38:45,239 Speaker 3: George Stephanopolis was asked if he could serve any four 733 00:38:45,239 --> 00:38:48,879 Speaker 3: more years, and he says no, he doesn't think he can. 734 00:38:48,920 --> 00:38:52,120 Speaker 3: And then Stephanopolis backed away and said, quote earlier today, 735 00:38:52,160 --> 00:38:54,080 Speaker 3: I responded to a question from a passer by, I 736 00:38:54,120 --> 00:39:00,120 Speaker 3: shouldn't have. So he's backing away from telling the truth exactly. Well, 737 00:39:00,160 --> 00:39:02,280 Speaker 3: you know that they try not to do that, the press. 738 00:39:02,520 --> 00:39:06,840 Speaker 2: Yeah, it's again. I go back to what I said 739 00:39:07,000 --> 00:39:09,480 Speaker 2: on this show. I don't know a week ago. I 740 00:39:09,520 --> 00:39:12,840 Speaker 2: think they've got another what eight ten days here to 741 00:39:13,000 --> 00:39:15,680 Speaker 2: go all in to try to get them out, and 742 00:39:15,760 --> 00:39:18,080 Speaker 2: after that they may be stuck with this guy. But now, 743 00:39:18,120 --> 00:39:21,720 Speaker 2: look your prediction, you've been right for quite a few times. 744 00:39:22,200 --> 00:39:25,160 Speaker 2: It still could be somebody at the convention, and that 745 00:39:25,320 --> 00:39:28,080 Speaker 2: somebody could still be Michelle Obama. Do you still think 746 00:39:28,080 --> 00:39:29,359 Speaker 2: there's a decent chance of that. 747 00:39:30,040 --> 00:39:33,400 Speaker 3: I stayed by the same odds I had on Monday's podcast. 748 00:39:34,040 --> 00:39:37,360 Speaker 3: I think there is a twenty percent chance the Democrat 749 00:39:37,360 --> 00:39:40,360 Speaker 3: nominee is Joe Biden. I think there's a forty percent 750 00:39:40,480 --> 00:39:43,440 Speaker 3: chance the Democrat nominee is Michelle Obama. And I think 751 00:39:43,480 --> 00:39:47,360 Speaker 3: there's a forty percent chance the Democratic nominee is Kamala Harris. 752 00:39:47,719 --> 00:39:48,279 Speaker 1: There you have it. 753 00:39:48,360 --> 00:39:51,719 Speaker 2: We're gonna keep you updated on this obviously. Say prayers 754 00:39:51,719 --> 00:39:55,320 Speaker 2: for all those in that are suffering in Texas right now, 755 00:39:55,840 --> 00:39:58,239 Speaker 2: and help your neighbors out if you can. The Center 756 00:39:58,239 --> 00:40:01,280 Speaker 2: and I will be back with you on Friday morning.
