  Speaker 2: No, I know he's not. But they're going to vote
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: against his policies.
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: The we don't know that because that's a year away.
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: It's a year from now, so the landscape will change
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: many many times.
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: Well, do I know things are more expensive. I know
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: it's not his.
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: Fault, but you live in Manhattan, gases now two dollars
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: a gallon, but if you're in New York it's still
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: four or five dollars.
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: I know, it's under three in some parts of a
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: long round, I know, but but food is expensive.
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: And again that's New York City.
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: Mark, give have a great vacation.
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: I love the guy, but he's always why does he
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: have to do? Let's go to Mike in Ulster County. Mike,
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: how you doing, Hey, Mark, Merry Christmas?
• 1:36
  Speaker 3: First ball. I did watch the speech last night. He did.
• 1:40
  Speaker 3: The President did look uncomfortable because it's not his venue.
• 1:44
  Speaker 3: But it's the speech that had to be made because
• 1:47
  Speaker 3: the media and the Democrats are playing on the fact that,
• 1:51
  Speaker 3: for the most part, the American people are very impatient.
• 1:54
  Speaker 3: They want instant gratification.
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: And well, don't blame them now. It's as I said earlier,
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: they've been had this fake narrative drilled into their head
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: that we are suddenly in an affordability crisis when the
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: economy has actually greatly improved unless year. So he needed
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: to make the speech. It was a bad setting. This
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: was all designed by Susie Wiles and the staff, and
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: she's great, but she you know. As far as media skill,
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: she's still in nineteen eighty three with Ronald Reagan, where
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: you get a podium and you read the teleprompter. It
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: doesn't work anymore. And Trump, I think he'll see it
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: was a dud the speech last night. It looks good
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: on paper, it was well written, but the delivery wasn't great.
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: So he'll never allow that to happen again. Next time,
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: he'll get some modern day communications people to come up
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: with a better setting and a better way to do that.
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: Let's go to Don in New York City. Don, how

• 3:37

  Speaker 1: sad ballads. She was brilliant at it, being a great actress.
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: She was one of the great singers of the late
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: fifties and early sixties. In fact, to listen to her
