My apologizes to Jason. I can never seem to stay on topic. I am very sorry, but I see much bigger FISH TO FRY dealing with 2024. Nikki Haley has shot herself in both feet. Her poor sportsmanship is career ending. She will never again be a significant member of the GOP leadership. Case closed.

Many of her unhappy constituents may still vote for Trump. Perhaps some will turn to RFK junior. A Classic Liberal just like his dad and uncle (And formerly me). A wonderful alternative for rank-and-file moderate Democrats who no longer feel represented by today's Socialist Dem party.

I have other bigger concerns. Call me crazy and irrationally paranoid. I think the corner has already been turned. If the election were held today Trump would win overwhelmingly. But a lot will happen between now and November. I expect Joe will soon be dropping out due to some newly discovered health problems. The Dems cannot win by keeping him as a candidate. And I believe Governor Newsom will be the 2024 Dem nominee for president. He's farther left than Biden. This barring WW3 or some other unexpected unforeseen catastrophe.

I'm not concerned about Newsom's viability either. I just have two other big worries in regards the 2024 election. They keep me up at night. First and foremost, Trump's health. If the Dem party is so evil as to cooperate with Hillary and govt agencies to come up with the phony Russian collusion scam. So rotten as to attempt two phony impeachment attempts. And malevolent enough to steal a presidential election. Then what would they not attempt to-do to maintain power? In my view, nothing is off the table. I worry constantly every time I see OUR president out in public seemingly without any worries in regards security. Exposing himself too much to potential danger. My fingernails are ripping to shreds.

Secondly, the Dems always cheat. How can they be stopped? Especially in the Swing states. I still can't survive a day without receiving a report about some previously undiscovered criminality from 2020!!! The Dem party is chock full of PHD's in skullduggery. They're crooks! And getting more sophisticated every day.

Kari Lake is still fighting in Arizona. The Dems succeeded there in pulling off the greatest and most obvious voter fraud scam since Tammany Hall (They were Democrats also). Does the GOP really think that just by voting early or beating them at ballot harvesting, at every senior nursing home facility, will win us an election? Ludicrous.

Folks. The country is begging on hands and knees for competent leadership. Enter Donald Trump. Joe Scarborough and Joy Reid are already on the verge of cardiac arrest. We don't need to sweat the small stuff. We can take the House,Senate,and Trump can become president. Minus unanticipated circumstances. I have put forth my two main concerns. OUR president's safety and the 110% chance that the Dems will lie and cheat as if their jobs and lives depended on it. Because they do. If the Dem's loose the Deep State and the other members of the rat's nest, they are thru forever.

As always, very interesting Bob. And it wasn’t just Tammany Hall, but the stolen election of 1876!

Jason. You are looking good on the video. Not all X-radio personalities can claim that. As you know the Tilden/Hayes presidential election of 1876 was the terrible sell out of reconstruction. Hayes becomes president in exchange for the removal of all Federal troops from the South. I always wondered If the former slaves, and now black American citizens, suffered even worse after the South was redeemed. It's an awful and disgraceful period of American history.

So, maybe it's kind of a draw. Which was worst? The corrupt and even sometimes murderous Northern Democrat Tammany Hall committing voter fraud and intimidation (Sound familiar?) to control much or all of the city govt of New York. Or the former slaves suffering under the horrible repression of the Southern Democrats. The party of racism.

Thx. Bob, but reconstruction was an abuse of power at times as well and Ohio (Hayes) had it

s own onerous 'black codes.' Moreover, as I write in Power Divided, “'equal protection of the law' within the Amendment was an addendum whose intention was primarily aimed at eliminating the Black codes that sprang up as a result of the South’s defeat (but they were also prevalent in the north). In short, its original intent was to grant the rights of property, contract, and all the other liberties that were applicable to freemen at the time, to newly freed slaves. Surely a worthy goal and fairly easy to grasp. The law, whatever it is, should be applied in similar fashion to black and white. unfortunately, it has been rendered into a blunt instrument, resulting in a myriad of court decisions shredding the concept to ribbons."
