Both Trump and Biden Campaigning on “Hope and Change”??
(00:00.334)
Every day is part of show prep for this program and also, you know, for my own personal desire to figure out what these candidates are running on. I go I go and I do homework. I research. I go to their sites and I try to find out what their policies are going to be on a myriad of different issues. Now, if you try to do this, OK, go to try, you know, type in Biden 2024, Trump 2024.
It’s going to take you to a landing page where you’re going to, they want you to give money. And there’s basically no way out of that landing page where they’re asking for your money. You have to continue to try to do a search and eventually you come up with their campaign websites. Now on those sites, both Trump and Biden, basically nothing. They’ve got few policies there.
And if you’d like to use the phrase broad strokes, you can’t even use broad strokes. It’s it’s basically nonsensical. No substance whatsoever in regards to what they want to do on anything. Well, that is certainly true. What they want to do, but they’re not telling you how they’re going to go about doing it. And I know I mentioned this before. I talked about business plans here on the program was a great.
scene in the television show Entourage, one of the characters is asking a successful business owner about, you know, for money, in essence, starting a business. And he goes off on this rant, you know, basically explaining to him, you know, how a business plan works and how you’re supposed to formulate some things. Well, in essence, what we’ve got right now, what we’ve got right now between Trump and Biden is…
Nothing, nothing but broad strokes. Essentially, essentially they are running on hope and change. Sound familiar? Remember Barack? Hope and change. Again, you harken back to that period of time. The Great Recession, financial crisis, banks being shut down, war in Iraq.

Barack Obama and the people that handled his campaign. It was genius, quite frankly, as far as campaigning is concerned, basically run on nothing. Run on nothing. Hope and change and essentially means something different to each and every individual. So whatever your hope and change is might be different to that person’s hope and change. But hey, he’s for me. And we always go back to that.
that interview with Peggy Joseph at the Obama rally in Sarasota, Florida that went viral. Yeah, it’s the greatest moment of my entire life. I’m going to support him. He’s going to support me. I’m not going to have to worry about my mortgage and my car bill and all that stuff. And again, it worked. It worked really well for Barack Obama. So, again, we have a debate. We have a debate that’s going to be taking place.
a week from now and I’m going to be honest with you, I am dreading it. I’m dreading it. the media can’t wait. Media can’t wait. The cable news networks can’t wait. They’re lining up all of their so -called experts and who won, who had the best one -liners. Do we honestly think that we’re going to gain anything from this at all? Do we think that there’s going to be any sort of…
Socratic debate, any real discussion of issues and the problems facing this country. These two can’t even I’m being honest, both of them, they can’t even put it up on their website. I’ll give credit where credit is due. You compare and contrast all of the things that RFK Junior has on his website, which is a hell of a lot more detailed than than these two guys. What does that say?
What does it say about us? What does it say about us? We were out there supporting candidates that won’t even tell us. Won’t even tell us what we’re going to do. Again, they throw out things. They float stuff like we’ve made fun of Trump and he’s eliminating the income tax and replacing it with tariffs. And you know, they’ve had to bring people on CNBC and interviewing people saying, are you kidding me?
(04:49.742)
And again, they haven’t taken it any further than that. Basically, you’re just trying out ideas to see what’s going to stick.
Again, you know, Biden, well, we’re gonna, you know, we talked about immigration. yeah, now we’re gonna do this with immigration and basically doing DACA all over again, it’ll get overturned in the courts, but that’s okay. We’re just again, pandering for votes at this point in time. Don’t you, I’ll do respect to these candidates here, you know, as much respect as I can actually give them. Don’t you think you owe it to the American people to put out?
some details in regards to what you want to do.
I was called Rove did a piece today, the wall street journal talking about the debate. All right. Get ready for Thursday and have your popcorn ready. Popcorn ready. I’m going to have my barf bag ready. That’s what I’m going to have. This thing devolves into, Hey, I’m going to make fun of your kid and you’re a convicted felon. And it’s turns into one big, you know, kindergarten name calling fiasco. How does that look for this country?
How does that look for, you know, what’s his name used at all time, the American brand? That this is how, you know, this is going to transpire. Again, I’m waiting. I’m waiting and every day I’m going to go and I’m going to check and I’m going to look for details in regards to policy positions moving forward. Not ridiculous broad strokes, but some actual details and what you’re planning on doing. Again, you are running.
