Debate results meaning for America and Democratic Party.

0:00 Speaker 1 But this today is former governor of the State of New York, George Pataki and governor. The world has changed in the last few days. It’s Sunday morning. Give us your interpretation, what the Democratic Party is going to do, what’s going to happen in how does it affect overall politics?

0:21 Speaker 2 Well, John, You’re absolutely right, the world has completely changed. Anybody who saw that debate earlier in the week understands that Joe Biden is not going to be president for the next four years. And that’s one of the things that people haven’t mentioned. It’s not just Biden’s mental state now or in November. We would be electing him for

0:43 four years beyond this November. And I don’t think there’s a personal life who saw that debate who thinks that four years from now, Joe Biden is going to be able to run this to run this country. So I think there’s scrambling. I think there’s going to be a clear decision by the Democrat that they need to replace

1:02 Biden with someone else. The two leading candidates, of course, are Gavin Newsom, who has a horrible record in California, but his young, photogenic, charismatic and they could trot him out, or the other is Kamala Harris, who nobody likes, but who has significant support in the Democratic Party and particularly among minorities and the more left wing members of the party.

1:27 So I think they’ll sit down, try to put it all together, pick one candidate and put that person in place of Biden at their convention.

1:38 Speaker 1 Understood. I think there’s a few other candidates. I did have I think coffee with the Democratic governor of Kentucky, which seemed that had a lot of common sense, but he doesn’t have the name recognition. I can’t even think of his name. Or he’s a very good, smart guy.

2:00 Speaker 2 Yes, there’s Basher in Kentucky, there’s Josh Shapiro in Pennsylvania. This Jared Poulis in Colorado. They’re all capable governors, but as you said, John, they don’t have the national name recognition, they don’t have the status, and they, by the way, as you said, Basher seems to have a lot of common sense. That’s why I don’t think either any of

2:23 them would be nominated, because this is not a Democratic Party that looks to run someone who is moderate and willing to work with Republicans. This is an activist within the Democratic Party who want to nominate someone who’s going to lead this country to the left. They did that with Biden, and I think when they’re looking to replace Biden,

2:43 they’re going to want someone significantly left the center who has the potential to beat Trump.

2:50 Speaker 1 Understood. So then Gavin Newsom, I guess falls into that category.

2:55 Speaker 2 Lussom and Kamala Harris both fall into that category, have left the center, a lot younger than Biden, and prominent names that are well known nationally. So I mean, there’s always the chance of a surprise. There’s always the possibility that Biden will decide that he’s not gonna leave, although I find that hard to believe. I think he’s going

3:19 to be pushed out in a way with so many people who have been supporters, that he’ll have no choice but to step down.

3:28 Speaker 1 Understood. The Republican Party. I guess it’s up to President Trump to pick the still pick a vice president an any gut feeling.

3:40 Speaker 2 You know, I don’t have one. You know, Trump is a showman and he likes surprises. And you know, there’s the list of the three Bergmann from North Dakota, Rubio from Florida, and I forget the third one right now is on his list. But oh, Jadie Vance from Ohio. Uh, and you know, you’d have to think that that’s the

4:03 likely choice. But knowing Trump as a showman, having him pull someone who’s not even been remotely discussed is not at a discussed, is not at all out of the question. Uh. Personally, I really like Senator Ruvia. I think he’s bright, he’s articulate, he’s got knowledge and insight in the issues, and I think he would be a great vice presidential choice because

4:27 I think he’d be very capable of running this country.

4:30 Speaker 1 Understood anything else here. You you took a trip around New York State last week. Any updates on that? How do you feel? How did you feel about it?

4:42 Speaker 2 You know, I enjoyed it very much. Uh. We met with a lot of people who both you and I have known for some time, successful business leaders. And you know, one of the things that really shocked me is a couple of my friends from Buffalo, Western New York came up and we had a great talk and they go, oh,

4:59 by the way, I’m a Florida resident, And you know, that’s what is happening in New York State. Our taxes are so high, the regulatory burden is so high. You know, in June and July, a lot of those old friends are here in upstate New York, but for six months of the year they’re in Florida because they don’t want

5:17 to pay New York taxes. And we have to be aware that unless the situation of New York State changes for the better, that exodus of successful people from the State of New York to places like Florida’s just going to continue.

5:34 Speaker 1 I agree, Governor George Patacky. Things were much better when you were there. Thank you so much for coming on and keep speaking out for the truth.

5:44 Speaker 2 Well, thank you, John, and you keep fighting for the truth as well. And for all the chaos at the moment, this is a great country. In some way, we’ll move forward together
