Speaker 1: It's definitely not okay. I mean, smelling hair is always weird,
Speaker 1: all right. I don't care who it is, even if
Speaker 1: you're in a relationship. If you smell your girlfriend's hair,
Speaker 1: she won't say anything, but in her head she'll be like,
Speaker 1: is he a serial killer? Like, honestly, smelling is one
Speaker 1: of the creepiest things you can do. It's it's on
Speaker 1: the list of creepy things. It's right after collecting doll
Speaker 1: pots and sneezing with your eyes open. You know, the
Speaker 1: press line is hilarious, but the premise is wrong. Collecting
Speaker 1: doll parts, the scent of hair care products is like
Speaker 1: everything modern unit Smelling other people's hair, I mean, clean
Speaker 1: hair smells nice, but you can be sniffing people if
Speaker 1: you're in a relationship. That's it's just wrong, wrong with hair.
Speaker 1: So that's interesting. No one took a shot at it.
Speaker 1: I don't see any jokes from the other people. UM
Speaker 1: watching the left leaning media CNN, MSNBC, they talked almost
Speaker 1: none about Biden in the hair smellings yesterday, So I thought, okay,
Speaker 1: the left, which gets to decide who their candidate is,
Speaker 1: has decided they're not that into this story. Deborah J.
Speaker 1: Saunders is the White House correspondent for the Las Vegas
Speaker 1: Review Journal. She has a B A in Greek and Latin.
Speaker 1: Well risk if so local is what I say, Deborah,
Speaker 1: how are you? Uh, nobody's smelling my hair today? Which
Speaker 1: is the superior language? Would you like me to? That's a.
Speaker 1: That's a great question. So Greek or Latin? I like
Speaker 1: Greek better because there are no rules. But the truth is,
Speaker 1: the older you get, the more you appreciate Latin because
Speaker 1: it's easier to understand. How many times have I said
Speaker 1: that Greek has no rules? Well, okay, like early ancient Greek,
Speaker 1: who was pre grammar. The Romans came up with grammar,
Speaker 1: so you could go nown noun verbs just for some reason,
Speaker 1: and well, the way that you would like the spelling
Speaker 1: could be different, all sorts of If you read Homer
Speaker 1: in Greek, which I have done, Uh, there'll be different
Speaker 1: spell lanes um for different words. You might be too
Speaker 1: good for this show. I've just determined. I've watched I've
Speaker 1: watched Homer on Sunday nights. Oh my god, I understood
Speaker 1: everything he said. So that's impressive. People can't read it,
Speaker 1: including me, can't read it in English. You read it
Speaker 1: in Greek. I did, Okay, how you're too good for
Speaker 1: the show. That's what's been determined. So as long as
Speaker 1: your patients for slumming it holes out, I guess we'll
Speaker 1: talk to you about some of the stories of the day.
Speaker 1: So listen, old uncle Joe Biden, the whole sniffing, stroking,
Speaker 1: leaning in thing, creepy sexual grandfatherly, what's the viber on decent?
Speaker 1: And how much are people talking about it? Um? People
Speaker 1: are definitely talking about it, And I think a lot
Speaker 1: of people feel that this is sort of let me
Speaker 1: just tell you, I didn't think he was going to run.
Speaker 1: I don't think he's running in I think that the
Speaker 1: fact that he hasn't announced yet is important. It's harder
Speaker 1: for you to get new staff when you wait this late.
Speaker 1: And I think he dislikes flirting with the idea, but
Speaker 1: he doesn't really want to necessarily put himself or his
Speaker 1: family through this. Let me back up just for a second,
Speaker 1: because you mentioned it getting in this late. Trump didn't
Speaker 1: get until June, and is the president? So is it
Speaker 1: is the time just shifted with this crowd or what? Well?
Speaker 1: I mean, look at all the look at all the
Speaker 1: candidates who have real teams working for them right now. Um,
Speaker 1: and Trump, of course didn't have a team for he
Speaker 1: didn't need a team. He didn't need a team. But
Speaker 1: anybody else who's writing, who's in politics, they want to
Speaker 1: have a bunch of operatives. They want to have people
Speaker 1: raising money for them, they want to have uh, they
Speaker 1: want to have their own communications team, and they need
Speaker 1: field reps and everything else. So Trum Trump, of course
Speaker 1: is the exception to every rule. But if you're a
Speaker 1: Democratic politician, you're going to want to have the staff
Speaker 1: in place. And he does have loyal people around him.
Speaker 1: And there are people who love Joe Biden. I hear
Speaker 1: he is like the nicest guy in the world. Lots
Speaker 1: of people say that on right and left. But as
Speaker 1: the ancient Greeks say, a jackdaws always found near a jackdaw.
Speaker 1: Joe was googling while you were talking at the top
Speaker 1: of my head, roughly equivalent to birds of a feather
Speaker 1: flock together. That's interesting you say that that. I'll always
Speaker 1: remember Um, former Secretary of Defense and CIA director Gates saying,
Speaker 1: and he's a Republican of of Joe Biden. Everybody likes
Speaker 1: Joe Biden. He's wrong on everything, but everybody likes him.
Speaker 1: That's been his vibe forever. He just it's got weird
Speaker 1: boundary issues he does, but he would be a hands
Speaker 1: on commander and cheese get it. Um. But but man,
Speaker 1: the knives are out for him. She got those stories
Speaker 1: coming out, somebody's somebody's you know, highlighting them. And then
Speaker 1: this story yesterday, which I guess was around but got
Speaker 1: put back out yesterday that after Biden's son Bo died
Speaker 1: of brain cancer, Bow's brother Hunter started an affair with
Speaker 1: Bow's widow, leaving his own wife a twenty three years,
Speaker 1: which is a messy family thing. And be tough as
Speaker 1: a dad. I mean, that's God, that's roth to deal
Speaker 1: with that. But it's out in the news again yesterday.
Speaker 1: Does he want to does he want to have that
Speaker 1: floating around in his life? I don't think he needs
Speaker 1: that floating around in his life. And you know, I
Speaker 1: just don't. I I just don't think he's running. I
Speaker 1: haven't all year. I think that, Um, he's had a
Speaker 1: great run. Why would you want Why would you want
Speaker 1: to put yourself through a messy campaign where everybody looks
Speaker 1: at everything you've done and it is sort of creepy
Speaker 1: the way he touches women. Let's face it. I saw
Speaker 1: Barbara Boxer in an interview talk about that former senator
Speaker 1: from California and how yeah he's he's always done that.
Speaker 1: Nobody felt threatened. I never felt threatened. I know other
Speaker 1: women who were like, that's kind of but nobody ever
Speaker 1: felt threatened. But it's probably not gonna work in the
Speaker 1: modern era. Longtime female SLAF staffers are coming out of
Speaker 1: the woodwork and writing editorials and the rest saying he
Speaker 1: is a great champion of women and women. There was
Speaker 1: never anything funny. It's just so that's fine. I just
Speaker 1: I think, you know, we've all had aunts, haven't we,
Speaker 1: her uncles or grandma's or whatever, who just invaded your
Speaker 1: personal space too much, pinching your cheek in the rest
Speaker 1: of it. Yeah, I wonder if he's that, um, you know,
Speaker 1: just on steroids. But you know, as I'm reminded by
Speaker 1: the words of Aristophanes, man is naturally deceitful. Ever in
Speaker 1: every way Debora j Songs, you read that in the
Speaker 1: original Greek or Latin or whatever to oh yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: I just didn't want to, you know, freak out the audience.
Speaker 1: You know, it's funny. It occurs to me, Deborah, if
Speaker 1: you and I were at some sort of bar and
Speaker 1: we were both a single and set to mingle, I
Speaker 1: could like run to the bathroom and google a bunch
Speaker 1: of that stuff you having mentioned you're in ancient Greek.
Speaker 1: That sounds like I'm hitting on you a little bit here.
Speaker 1: Once dated a guy. We could both recite in Greek
Speaker 1: the first ten lines of the Odyssey. Wow, well that'll
Speaker 1: bring a couple of people together, the one that got away.
Speaker 1: That's all it was good for. Oh yeah, yeah, so hey, listen,
Speaker 1: that was fun talking about healthcare for forty five seconds.
Speaker 1: But that went away fast, Benny. So I noticed that both,
Speaker 1: you know, the Fox crowd and the MSNBC crowd moved
Speaker 1: on to other stuff. Why why such a lack of
Speaker 1: enthusiasm for getting down a business in the Beltway, Deborah,
Speaker 1: You know, I think Joe Biden is liked It's funny.
Speaker 1: I was watching CNN yesterday and there was a segment
Speaker 1: on this and and Lucy Flores and Nevada wall Maker
Speaker 1: who uh first wrote the piece about him kissing her
Speaker 1: hair and stuff. Um, they didn't show video of him.
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, they're all these montages of creepy
Speaker 1: Joe Biden. And let's say said, there are people who
Speaker 1: aren't going to like having a total stranger do that
Speaker 1: to them. Um, so I just think that people don't
Speaker 1: want to do this to him. But he's sort of
Speaker 1: done it to himself. And there was a montage that
Speaker 1: was done when a number of senators were sworn in
Speaker 1: and he was vice president. Hey, listen, I'm sorry to
Speaker 1: jump in, but are times super I wasn't joking the
Speaker 1: whole healthcare thing. Why why why is there so little
Speaker 1: taste to seriously take it on. Is it just because
Speaker 1: it's such a tough nut to crack? Well, we know
Speaker 1: that the Republicans, after spending X amount of years saying
Speaker 1: they were going to repeal and replace, we're unable to
Speaker 1: do it. And then ont of the blue, the Department
Speaker 1: of Justice under Trump puts in this two sentenced things
Speaker 1: saying that they're going to back this of federal judge
Speaker 1: from Texas decision that Obamacare is unconstitutional. And it just
Speaker 1: throws over this, It just throws arranging everything because it's
Speaker 1: the day after the MULA report comes out that this
Speaker 1: is submitted. So the timing is weird. It's also um,
Speaker 1: the day before the New Green Deal vote, which Republicans
Speaker 1: really wanted to use to embarrass Democrats because they said
Speaker 1: that on the one hand, they say global warming is
Speaker 1: something we can't wait on on the other hand, they
Speaker 1: can't even vote for this thing that they say they support,
Speaker 1: and so the timing was crazy and um. And you know,
Speaker 1: you just don't understand with Donald Trump that he's serious
Speaker 1: about because the other problem with Republican healthcare bill is
Speaker 1: there was one that passed the House and Trump had
Speaker 1: this big celebration in the Rose Garden and he had
Speaker 1: all those Republicans there to stand with him, and then
Speaker 1: he turned around and criticized it. Yeah, so it's really
Speaker 1: hard to understand what he'll stand by. And that's a
Speaker 1: real problem and he has in Washington right now. Is
Speaker 1: so if if if he were to come out with
Speaker 1: and say this is my plan and this is the
Speaker 1: way I want to do it, I think then people
Speaker 1: would take this notion more seriously than having this Department
Speaker 1: of Justice UH in person into this case when you
Speaker 1: have no idea what that means. Well, we'll see and
Speaker 1: we'll talk about healthcare. And by all means. Debra J. Saunders,
Speaker 1: white House correspondent for the Las Vegas Review Journal, You're
Speaker 1: the best, Debra. Thank you, good to talk to you.
Speaker 1: I'll look that up right back. All Elliott some free,
Speaker 1: That's what I say. So. I've tried to read Homer's
Speaker 1: Odyssey in English and gotten like a page in and
Speaker 1: I and I can't do it, but I doubt that
Speaker 1: anything was ever said better than what my Homer said.
Speaker 1: Why do the things that happened to stupid people keep
Speaker 1: happening to me? That's my life's philosophy, Homer J. Why
Speaker 1: do the things that happen to stupid people keep happening
Speaker 1: to meet? That keeps me in line. And I don't
Speaker 1: want to brag, but I do watch The Simpsons in
Speaker 1: the original English
