They're gonna grab the all current of oil field. The biggest oil left in the world. How did your mom respond? Bob? My mom said Wow. They're going to kill us. Bob talking about the truth about what happened. I'm very I'm very sorry to hear that, because I think that she gives into your your fantasies. And I think that's a dirty shame. Point out. Neil just sent me an email suggesting that this day September 11th. Should be named as a national day of grief. And that the American people each year not just Commemorating this state. The 20th anniversary. But every day every year rather should commemorate this. I wonder, how do you react to that? I don't react favorably to that. I don't think it needs to be made into something like that. We've had horrific things that have happened in this country before really horrific things throughout our history and you know we have to As a nation. We have to deal with those things at the time they happen. We have to grieve the loss at the time they happen and ultimately we have to grow and we have to move on. As with any loss. Agree with you, but I wanted to throw that out getting a lot of emails. Will emails I witnessed the plane hit the towers in an apartment on Jackson and Van Ness here in San Francisco. Radio alarm woke me. Then my TV flipped on. I never realized the implications till I arrived at the gym that on to work. Then it really set in. I was initially in denial and the gravity of the situation escaped me. I suppose I was in shock, and I think a lot of us were And frankly, some of us still are. You know, we describe it as being done, but I think you're right. Let me get another call in here. John, this is John in Santa Clara. John. Hi. Welcome to kgo. You're on the air. Hello. Uh, one of the victims they don't think you really hear much about is, uh, she used to work at the chilies and San Jose on Expressway and, um, Boston Hill Road. My wife and I used to go there quite often. And, uh, remembered her specifically. And right after it happened. They had a nice memorial for her inside the restaurant for maybe a good year, so maybe like 23 years. But since then they kind of moved it to the back hard enough. It's still there, but I thought that was that was interesting about remember her name. You know, I can't remember. I want to say maybe it was Nicole Miller. And I believe she was on the Plane that went down in Pennsylvania in Shanksville. Well, you know what? Let's remember her right now and whether the name is correct or not, You know, let's all keep her in our hearts as well. It's time for us to take another break, and then we'll have more of your telephone calls. Rachel. That's correct right to wait for John because he controls the show today, and I don't know. Every time I do something, I make a mistake. No, no 41580808 10, John Rothman and Pat Thurston. No place we would rather be on this day as we commemorate 20 years. Switching to Geico is a good idea, especially when you consider everything. First off Geico makes it.

"May be our wishes. Our inclinations or the dictates of our passion. They cannot alter the state of facts and evidence. And what the Republicans are doing is trying to alter. The state of facts and evidence. And that's what's so astounding. Let me go to Rama Rama is calling from Fairfax Rama. Welcome to KGO much for taking my call. I feel that basically, uh, the truth is on the side of work. President Biden in your saying The evidence is pretty strong at the vaccine helps and if the math help, But what I think is the deciding factor is how you implement the truth. If people are very heavy, heavy handed and dogmatic and just want to try and prove the other side is wrong, then then you're going to you're not a lot of people will start resenting it will start thinking that the Republicans are right. On the other hand, if you're concerned with people's health, and people feel that you're you're implementing the rules out of concern and not just to be dogmatic. Then you're going to win people over in the work. I hope so. And I appreciate your little logic of your statement. And I want to thank Lisa who just emailed me. This is the list of vaccines. Currently required by the state of Florida for Children entering public and non public school. Diptheria. Tetanus. Polio, measles, mumps, rubella, chickenpox, Uh, hepatitis B, uh, pneumonia show, So I mean, it's all here. The flu shots, their required, Lisa. Thank you. And yet Governor de Santas who would like to be president of the United States. Continues to spout this nonsense. Maureen just emailed. Maybe we need to start using their tactics and say these Republican governors are trying to kill you and your Children by telling you not to wear masks and by not encouraging you to get vaccinated. And they're trying to cause another shutdown of businesses with their anti masking anti vaccine preaching. And thanks for the compliments about the show Maureen the best line of your email. They're going to cause another shutdown a businesses with their anti mask and anti vaccine preaching. And I regret to say I think you're right. Uh, it I haven't something here. Maybe I'll use it later. The top 10 reasons why I hate masks. And this is sent to me by a listener who wants me to understand the reasoning and maybe we'll get to it. Just unbelievable. Uh, eras calling from Los Altos. Welcome to kgo Greening job. I wanted to impose a thought experiment or a proposal. That is probably not very well thought out. Mhm. But essentially, this is an extremely complex problem. And there is a multi product solution or approach that has been taken one of which has been to try to educate people and to try to Uh, you know, give them present them with the facts and so on. And so far, you know, obviously, that hasn't worked as effectively as we'd like it, and there are many other incentives that have been You know, advanced and those have not been affected. Even let's take the principles that the Republican Party stands by. And see if we can use those in order to create an incentive program. Such that vaccination becomes a natural Um, solution. So here's the thought. Republicans are against socialism and the way I interpret that is that they don't want to pay for somebody else. They don't have to write their against. Uh, one person supporting many. And very crude terms, So if a person is admitted to the hospital, clearly they need to be treated because their life is endangered. But if they're admitted to the hospital they need to if their insurance covers them, then that's great. You know, the insurance companies are not if they're not doing anything about Uh, the patients that have not received the vaccine that it's their business, right? They're going to suffer the loss. But if somebody does not have insurance They ought to. Basically, um, say that. Okay. You know, I promised to pay the expenses for my treatment. And if, in fact they are vaccinated and the cost of the treatment should be substantially lower or will be Made lower and if they're not going to be the actual cost, you know what? What bothers me. I understand what you're saying. It's a great philosophical approach. The reality is the vaccine is free. Wherever you go in the United States of America, the vaccine is free. I got my booster shot the other day it was free and the flu shot is free. And those who say they're opposed to socialism had better understand It's free because we live in a society in which we all care about each other. I appreciate your call. We do care about each other. 41580808 10. I am John Rothman. Uh, Republican governors threatening to Sue and Joe Biden says, have added, and I say Not only let them have at it, but I hope they lose at the polls because what they're doing Is not only irresponsible. It's dangerous. I'm John Rothman. Right here on K G o Your listening to the John Rothman show You have thoughts. Speak out kgo 8 15 minutes could save you 15% or more. My dad used to say that sure.

"On your radio and smart speaker at KGO A 10 Now back to John Rothman. John Rothman with you Right here on KGO. Republican governors are threatening to sue over the mandates and Biden says have at it. That's the kind of president I like guts. Go ahead. You want to go after it. You can and I'll meet you in the courtroom three cheers for Joe Biden. And as for these Republican governors, it is just appalling and Karen hit the nail on the head. Republicans are simply following Trump's example and accusing their opponents of doing despite the fact that there is no proof what they themselves are doing. Uh, you know, it's true. It I was impressed today By Chris Christie. Who spoke at the Ronald Reagan Library last night, never mentioning Trump's name. But, he pointed out the Republican Party cannot be a political party based on a cult. And he pointed out, no one is always right. All right, Let's get back to, uh Your calls and let me do them in the order. Bobby calling from Pleasant Hill, Bobby, Welcome to KGO. Hi, John Bobby. How are you? I am splendid. Thank you for asking. Hours. My pleasure because I see a lot of people every day, and I don't often get off. I wanna I don't often get asked how I am, either. So it's a nice question. How are you? By the way? Nice. Fine. Thank you very much. Good. All right. Now, proceed. Now we can go ahead. There are many nights I listened to you on my way home. Uh, from what I do is which teaching music and I hear people talking and I would just like to, uh, my head feels like it's going to explode. And so I think to myself I'm going to call him But then I'm tired and I go in and I never called tonight. I got down a little early, and I heard you as I'm pulling into your driveway. I thought she what happens so I was calling to respond to the what I think is a big fat Smoke screen that these Republican governors throw up as if they had a real duty and official duty, But they're just standing behind the fact that they don't really want a democracy. They threw states' rights as a protectorate. They only wanted democracy or overall government when they need the money. And the attention of the big democracy or a big government the rest of the time. They just want what they want when they want it. And unfortunately for a lot of us right now, it shows up in the way of bigotry. So the white people in this country and I happen to be white. So you know, I feel some of the things that they have thought, But then I think about it, and I realized that what I'm feeling is to steer. No, you're right. And you know what It reminds me of, and I'm a historian by trade. And when I think of this in 18 60, there was a great debate. Between the idea of what was called popular sovereignty, which was Stephen Douglas and the Democratic Party's position, which every state should decide for itself. What it wants to do. And Lincoln's position that a nation can't exist, half slave and half free that you had to have a national government that really functioned. And I What scares me? Is that the rebel flag? All of the catch words are being used Nullification States' rights. And and it's completely a contradiction of what the Republican Party stood for. If Abraham Lincoln were alive today, he'd be a Democrat, for God's sake. Yes, he would and everything that they throw up in your face. It's all just It's all like given talk. You know that phrase? Yep. It's all given talk. It's all buzzwords. Not only do they throw up the Dixie flag, they throw up, not just an American flag basically run up a flag that is big enough to cover your house. I know. And then they and then they and the guys that the, uh what? We're going to talk about 9 11 tomorrow, But the guys at the January six thing there are just a bunch of free cap. They're afraid that somebody's going to take something away from them that they have solely built on the fact that they are white. You're right. And that is a problem. But I want to thank you. First of all for taking the time to call, But second of all for reminding everybody, you listen tomorrow night and you call in tomorrow night. We'll have a great show and Bobby. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. 41580808 10. Let's go to Bob calling from Petaluma. Bob, Welcome to K G. Oh, yes points in all the conspiracy Preachers say that the Locally produced vaccines have toxic Mariani. A lot of people will not take them and I don't think Biden's plan going to work anyway. So what do you think? I tell you? I always correct people. There are no toxins in the vaccine. None. Absolutely. Zip zero. We've had medical experts on people believe these miss which are extremely destructive, but okay, make your second point. So at first point intuition that DOJ are legal firms should encourage the families that lost members to sue the heck out of these kind of spirit creatures on radio and all over the police. Uh, you know what? I talked to a conspiracy student? I asked him, you know. There's a big farm stuff plays in all the vaccines in the United States and the Western world about 1.5 B. The Chinese and the Russians are taking their vaccines. They say that the big pharma hasn't done to them yet Soul. I'm just saying, What would you take the skin off back? And these guys said, baby, yes. Well, I think maybe we should import somebody Chinese and Russian vaccines for these Well, I'll tell you the 11 reality, which we have to deal with, and that is the fact we have to keep pressing people about this. We have to keep reminding them. We have to keep explaining. Carefully, even though it's redundant. We have to do it because that's our future. And I have to tell you, I I go back to what my cousin Judy emailed me, which I think is absolutely true. This quote from John Adams Facts are stubborn things..

"Is an important question. Who is president matters? 41580808 10. Catherine says. I joined the chorus of those who rejoice in today's EPA. Biden decision about the proposed Alaska gold copper mine. But now the hard part starts Namely, making sure that no one can reverse the decision. And similar ones if they get elected to positions of power. We must gear up now to oppose what the Republicans are doing as they plan to prepare for election 2024. I would add 2022. Trump is already making coy and teasing remarks about how happy his base in the GOP will be when he reveals his candidacy for a second presidential term. And Catherine concludes when I was my union, local president I learned that negotiating a good contract was the easy part. Enforcing it required constant vigilance. The A P. A situation now is somewhat analogous and we have a lot of hard work immediately ahead of us. Well, that's why I'm glad Joe Biden as president on so many levels. A president Biden makes a huge difference. Not just a Biden but a Republican versus a Democrat. The days when my old boss Richard Nixon, Proposed the Environmental Protection Agency and took the actions which I have described and an action which my old friend my Dear friend Kevin Starr, the late Kevin Starr said it was the Magna Carta for the environmental movement. Well, I can criticize Richard Nixon and I do. But thank God he was right on the environment. And if you go to the Nixon library in Yorba Linda, California, you'll see the Big exhibit there about Nixon and the environment. 41580808 10. I am John Rothman. Right here on K G. O John.

"The expansive streams. The marshland, roughly 200 miles southwest of Anchorage, contains these treasures locked underground. Billions of dollars worth of gold copper. These are there, but we have to measure. What we should do now remember that commercial fishing industry generates more than $2 billion a year. And I want you to know. The Obama administration initially proposed blocking the project in 2014. Due to what it called the unacceptable environmental effects. Then, of course, an open pit mine would have been a disaster. But in the end, they didn't they didn't finalize the determination. And and Donald Trump's first EPA administrator, Scott Pruitt, who I mentioned earlier. I wanted the mine operators to apply for a permit. And to its credit, I credit completely Donald Trump Jr and and Tucker Carlson. They shelled the mining plan after the release of embarrassing secret recordings. Do you remember? We played some of them here on KGO? And and all I can tell you Thank God that came out. More than $17 billion was spent to restore salmon and steelhead in the Snake River. And its tributaries in the Pacific Northwest. And yet we haven't able to it if you've got to leave.

But when you were talking about Nixon Do you remember? Don't cut me off now. I didn't cut you off. I'm listening to you. Go ahead. Hold on a minute. Do you remember when he ordered the National Guard to open fire on Kent State on the students? Actually, he didn't the governor of Excuse me? No. You can look it up the governor of Ohio James Rhodes gave the order. Are you still there? Oh, you can call me a liar. Then he hangs up. All right. Just so you all know James Rhodes, who was governor of Ohio is the one who called out the National Guard. And they are the ones who fired not only at Kent State. But if you remember what happened at Jackson State In Mississippi. But you see, it's easy for people to call me and accused me of being a liar and then hang up the phone. Or to tell me I've misstated the situation. And and and I'm wrong. I don't mind if you want to call me a liar if I really am, But I really tried not to, and I'm certainly not in this case. Let me remind you that the EPA has used its authority under section 404 C of the Clean Water Act. To block Projects only a dozen other times it's rarely used. But it was used now. Because this is so important. And just so you know the natural, the natural Resources. Defense Council senior Attorney Joel Reynolds called the E P A announcement a big step. But then he did precisely what Lisa Murkowski is saying. He said. We need congressional action. And that is exactly what Senator Murkowski is calling for You know, by the way that Lisa Murkowski is up for re election. And you know that President Uh, Trump is committed. To.

And throughout the state. Um Secondly, about Biden won the other federal employees back dragging fantastic. I'm so proud of him and, um I think it's great taking the decision that should be made. And the third thing is, Who are these people? Who are booing. This man he was talking about his grandmother's death. The same people. Marcela just sent me something, and I appreciate I try to check this. It's a tombstone. And on it is a date. 2021 the caption. I did my own research. Those are the people.

Let's go to Dallas calling from Nevada. Oh, Dallas. Welcome to kgo. Yeah, I can hear me. Yes, I can now. Yeah. You know, I I think your first caller, you're a bit. You got upset with him for like and Kurt women and cut off. I don't think he really explained his point of view. Quite like you wanted to before you cut him off. Um, I did not hear what you heard. I did not hear him say that you get the vaccine and you will be infectious. Uh, I think where he was going with it, and it's my perception and that could be wrong. That People that have gotten the disease and the illness have gotten over it. Now. Their body has the natural antibodies that have been developed anything. There's there's more of them within your body and you have more of an immunity and they're just tell like to 600,000 people who died. Look, It's very simple. If you listened to this program repeatedly euro that I have said you can get covid and you can spread it even if you're vaccinated. And there is no inconsistency. John's point, and he was trying to convince us that if you get the vaccine You can spread it, and frankly, I have no toleration for that. But I appreciate your attempt to defend him and to clarify I'm not defending him. I just my interpretation of trying to get out that You can be vaccinated and then become, you know, infected with it, Even though you have the vaccine, and then you become infected at that point, not from the back case. Even if you don't have it, You can be infectious and I've stated that point over and over and over and over again, it happens. John is called before his points are always as ludicrous and deceitful as the one he tried to make tonight. And I hate to be harsh, But that was the reason why I reacted the way I did Let me remind people you can get covid. And you can spread it. Even if you're vaccinated. I've said it over and over again.

"The Taliban did not attack Americans. As we retreated. We were treated in the wrong way. Because of what happened. I have no no question about that. But I don't want it to be an issue of Joe Biden and Donald Trump. They both screwed up Then he shouldn't raise Donald Trump's name. When we were discussing this issue, you can't you kill him on Listen, my friend. You cannot talk about this without referring to the agreement that was made not just by Donald Trump. Okay, let me let me tell you what? Make it first. Was there an agreement on Excuse me? Was there an agreement? About May 1st was there or was there not? You know, I'm not aware of the this there was. Come on, Don't be disingenuous. Don't be disingenuous. Be honest, I've done the point is, we know specific that matters. August 30th. Don't listen to me very carefully. When? When that I give goodbye. I give Donald Trump great credit. I'm not going to be talked over. I give Donald Trump great credit. Had Donald Trump not reached the remote on May 1st. God knows what would have happened to American soldiers. We were treated But to place all the blame squarely on Joe Biden. Is as nuts as blaming Donald Trump. This isn't a matter of blame.

"Me I have to. So you're telling me I'm just interested in this? That you would not work? No, no. Hold on. Hold on. Hold on a second. You would not wear a helmet. You would not put on a seatbelt. Only if I had kids in the car I would or if I had a kid on the back of my motorcycle or my wife or somebody else, but by myself, No. Why not? Because I have control. It gives me control. See, this is what you're missing. You keep saying freedom and I'm saying control. It's two different things. By the way, I support your right to be stupid. That's what part of the freedom is not easy to be free is not easy, but don't you and I support your right to be Stupid, But don't don't you want to do something stupid? You've got my support, Okay? But But what if you want to do something smart? You have support for people who do something smart. Well, I think I proved that because I got my vaccination. So my my answer to you is and I understand what you're saying. You're not the only one. I remember the slogan of New Hampshire Live free or die. I understand that you okay? But you understand that is one of the original American flags said Don't tread on me. Difference between us is I don't view the things which the government has imposed upon us. As being a restriction. I believe that That's the problem. Okay, but don't understand. That's a legitimate point of difference. I can tell you having had friends. Who have been killed. One of my dearest friends was killed earlier this month. Dominic Antonelli from Anton Eli's in Kalmar. He was on a motorcycle. And the motorcycle for a lot of reasons and he was killed. He was killed in the accident. So am I. That several friends killed had several offense killed in Vietnam. I That's okay. Trucker for 40 years I've had friends killed in truck. That's right, but what you do in your life? Is to try to create a situation in which the odds are in your favor and not against you. What I don't get with the Anti-vaxxers is That They seem to be betting. Against themselves. And that that is what disturbs me. Just as when I get into a car. I put on a seatbelt. Just as if I were in a motorcycle. I'd wear a helmet. I do things. In a precautionary fashion because it makes sense. That's all I can tell you. Well, like I said, I wanna see if I want to have kids or my wife. And I don't want to put anybody else in jeopardy. Have you ever seen anybody go through a windshield? Do you see the impact? I have, actually, Why wouldn't you? Why wouldn't you seen multiple wrecks like, Why wouldn't you put why? Then? Wouldn't you put on a seatbelt? Well, I do wear a seat. Not only because the government tells me no, no, no. Let's assume that hold on. Hold on. Let's assume the government didn't tell you to wear a seat belt. You've seen what happens when somebody goes through a car window. You're telling me that you're good? Common sense wouldn't say whether it's required or not. I'm going to wear a seatbelt. Well, if you choose your now, look, I have investigated several accidents and I've seen people killed for an hour in her seat belt. But they chose not to our seatbelt, even though it was against the law. So that's their choice. You understand? I don't I think what you're missing. You're confusing freedom with, uh, responsibility over yourself with responsibility. I think that's the issue. No, no, quite the contrary, sir. No, no, it has nothing to do with control. It has it was good common sense. And if you have good, common sense What you've done is correct. You go out and get a vaccine. And when you're behind the wheel of your car or your bike, you're going to be as careful as you can. I appreciate your call. But you understand, ladies. Gentlemen, there's no logic there. You understand that now? Juan says he's anti vaccine. I'm proudly one. I simply don't trust the American White based medical establishment. They have a long and infamous history of committing atrocities against people of color. Unauthorized sterilization of women of color Tuskegee experiment and he goes on need, I say more. Do you have confidence in the Nazi doctor? If he profit, you medical treatment for you please understand my warranted position and those who share the same opinion. Juan, a Nazi doctor was a criminal. The so called white based medical establishment. Thank God they exist and by the way, not just white, black, Asian, Hispanic, all the people in the medical community. They are people who care.

But as the World health Organization points out far too many people around the world Including nearly 20 million infants each year have insufficient access The vaccines In some countries.

It was a previous opera, saying a true statement and I lost a brother. Yeah, the auto immune disease. And my sister had the kid and I'm so sorry. I am so sorry. People need to know is that this thing is real. Even if you had a vaccination, you have medical situations. That was subject you Too low tolerance to fight the immune bug. And that's what made me go and get vaccinated since March, 22nd I call you most many times about that. However, I want to say to people who are indeed and now if you think 600,000 people died to win playing hide and seek in your your dumbfounded This is a disease that we knew. I mean, a virus that we knew nothing about and we did good to attest the situation too. Get something that would be able to withstand it quick as we did, it would take longer sometimes to get something to protect a fight against certain viruses. So People still dining right now. The youth and I'm a council idea. But you the youth are being hospitalized, not only just read stakes but all state for most of those who are not vaccinated. And that's a fact. And because of that, the ignorance of individuals who consistently to be and it now Those who are carriers and those will continue to keep unfolded. Unbalanced situation. The United States where this virus will not just be the mu of the delta is going to be Sarah. Virus coming. And I want to leave you with this young for everybody that's listening. Look in the mirror and say this to yourself Wasted time equals no guarantee. Make your time. Make the time valuable. Get fascinated. Yep. Hey, thank you, Julie. And I appreciate it. I'm I'm sorry for your losses. I am Thank you. All right, pal. Thanks so much. Catherine Emails. I guess we need to hear all the nutcases that call you. But it really depresses me. I have a two part question. One. Where does all this medical quackery come from? It's like a regression to the 18th or 19th century. But I can't believe all these people, many of whom I suspect, er. Well, our reading. At a lower level are reading 18th and 19th century popular literature. Those big novels, serial publications that show what people knew. I thought they knew. And didn't know back then and number two. Where did all the meanness and nastiness these people display come from? It seems to be its own kind of social pandemic these days. Okay, she writes. I'll take a deep breath. And carry on listening. I do this my friends so we can't hear What people have to say. Julie says. I'm enjoying the term The caller used your paradigm. Describe the scientific facts regarding Covid. And it made me think that if the vaccinated are sheep At least we don't need the warmer All right. 41580808 10. Let's go to Dave calling from San Jose Dave, Welcome to KGO. You know, let me prep insists that, uh, 73 years old and I fully vaccinated and I'm looking for the third shot, and I think everybody should get shot. But what I want to speak to I guess I'm the Devils have advocate. I'm trying to understand why People do not want to get the shot and in my particular case every time I I believe it's a control issue in my particular case. Every time I turn around, I can't do something. I want to build a shop. Well, that takes anywhere from three or four years or five years to get permit. I'm a second Amendment person. Well, I don't even have to go any further with that. I like to ride dirt bikes. There aren't any place to right. So My life is completely controlled. I have no Uh, control over my life. The only thing I ask control over is my body. And I believe that maybe the reason that some people don't get shots anyway. That's my opinion. Take it for what it's worth. I'm interested. I'm vaccinated and I think everybody should. Oh, and secondly, I didn't get vaccinated to protect you. I got vaccinated to protect me, You know, So I'm going to leave it at that. But you understand it works both ways. But I'm intrigued because, uh, your sense of personal freedom is restricted. Now I live in San Francisco. I do many different things. Have not felt a loss of personal freedom in the sense of what I can and can't do, except that I know they're restrictions. When I get into a car I put on a seatbelt. When I go to the doctor, I get my vaccine. I just had the flu shot. I do these things not only for myself, but for people around me. I guess I could refuse to do it. But I don't see it as a D limitation on my freedom. In fact, the fact that we have a vaccine means I have greater freedom. Uh And that, to me, is is the key. I don't feel restricted. What's the matter? Well, I do in my particular life, but it's not a freedom. We all have freedom, its control. It's something that You know if I can get this across that you and everybody else it's about control. You wear a seat, But this is something happens. Stealing. I have control over. You were body. Okay? Do you wear a seatbelt? Yeah, Sure. Okay. Motorcycle don't like doing it, but I do it. Okay. Why do you do it? Because it protects you. And it protects people around you, right? No, That's not why I do it. I do it because the government told not gonna do it. Are you telling me that if yes, if there would you wear you ride Do you wear a helmet? Yes, I do. Why?.

Thank you, John for having me, um You know, I just wanted to share living here in Idaho. Uh, I actually lived close to Wyoming. I'm on that you side, but, um You know, it's pretty disconcerting to find out that it's best that I make sure and buckle my seatbelt and take my medicine and don't do any kind of risky behavior. Not that I would, but You know, because hospitals can't handle in any other person And that, um You know, it's just crazy that people who can get back to nated and keep hospitals open for people that need it for things like heart attacks, strokes, automobile accidents. Um, may have to get in a waiting line is just It's just not fair. I don't know how else to say it. It's selfish, right? And let me tell you. I just got this email from Rick in Florida. And it's fascinating. Another Georgia school district is switching to virtual learning after two school bus drivers and a bus monitor died from Covid 19 in recent weeks. This is the Griffin Spalding County School system, made the announcement Monday and look just to confirm your point districts across Georgia. Are struggling to line up enough drivers and monitors to keep buses running. And in Savannah. Some bus drivers stayed too sick out for the second day, uh, to protest What's going on. What can I tell you? You're right. Who? I don't understand these people. Well, The other thing is, um And I won't say where, but my daughter works in a healthcare. Um, clinic just Actually, she's in Wyoming, but she's almost in Idaho. And she south of US and She called and said, I just wanted to let you know that a second person has tested positive in their clinic, and I said Oh, a patient, she said. No, an employee. And I thought, Wait a minute. This is the clinic that if my granddaughter gets sick, who's five? I don't know, but I'd want her around employees, you know, health care employees. That aren't vaccinating themselves. And then could possibly, you know, expose people who can't get vaccinated. It does criminal and I'm actually thinking of calling that little clinic tomorrow and just Give him a piece of my mind. I don't think it will change anything. But it just feels so wrong. That, um to me. I always thought I don't know if it applies the nurses and Nurse practitioners and PA's, But you know, doctors take the Hippocratic goals. That's a first do no harm well to me. That means you need to be Matt backs imitated before you Treat people who are not because some people can't get vaccinated. And you're not going to know when. When you walk in the the clinic door, you know? No, You're right. And I hope I hope people listen to you. And all I can say is thank you for calling And I'm glad you're listening in Idaho and you keep it up. All right. Thanks so much. 41580808 10. Let's go to Milan calling from San Francisco Mylan.

"From Sacramento. Gordon delighted to have you welcome to kgo. How you doing, John? I'm well, Gordon. Thank you for asking. Well, I called a couple of weeks ago or three weeks ago and told you I wasn't vaccinated And maybe I was taking a chance that my T cells would pull me through. And are maybe my I'm just have a natural immunity. Well, sure enough, Uh, last week, my wife daughter came and visited. She came down with the virus. Oh, my As she was in our house for over an hour. And she thought she had stomach stomach flu. But it turned out she had the virus anyhow. Long story short. It's been 10 days and I'm not sick. My wife's not sick. I'm not saying that people shouldn't get a shot. I think if you want to get a shot to be vaccinated, that's good. I'm just telling you, my my situation. I guess I have natural immunity. Wait, wait. I got to ask you have you been tested? No. Why would I be, uh, symptoms? I'm going to explain to you because you don't necessarily if you have the virus have any symptoms? The point is when you go out in public, and you have no symptoms, you're you're asymptomatic. You can still spread the virus. So journal. You people have been vaccinated. So you should be safe. No, but we're not. And we know we're not because we now know hold on hold on their two issues here. One is you knowing that you've been exposed should be tested to see whether you have the virus. No symptoms required. You simply become a silent carrier. The second thing is, we know that people who were double vaccinated. Still are able to get sick. We see that constantly now, and there's no secret about it. The vaccine. What the vaccine does is if you get virus And it's a serious case and you're hospitalized. You might not die. Because it does help you in that regard, So my suggestion to you is get tested. And be aware that you can be a silent carrier. So, John, you don't believe in natural immunity. I don't know if there's natural immunity or not, but I've listened to some of the best doctors I know. Say even if you believe in natural immunity, get the vaccine. Natural immunity clearly is not enough. And not everybody is affected that way. You just You don't listen to all the doctors. You don't listen to doctors that say that Hydroxychloroquine and I've ever met and have worked on their patients. Those are do you want to know why there's a real real dark? No. Hold on. Hold on. Hold on. Hold on. I want you first of all, to understand. We listen to it. The CDC. And physicians across this country have said it's wrong and we know it's wrong. Otherwise we would not have over 610,000 deaths in this country. We would not see we would not see hospitals. In states like no saying the doctors lied. I don't think you have to say they lied. I think some people have political agendas, and they distort the truth. And I think that's absolutely true. You know that Hydro Clark win doesn't cure this virus. You know that. We all know I'm not a doctor. No, I listen to the science. I lived factors. They tell me to listen to science after I listen, doctors that have different opinions. My suggestion in a different opinion, John, I'll tell you open minded I am I'll tell you what I believe. If that worked. If it really worked, there would not be over 600,000 people dead. But that means that 7.5 billion people didn't get okay. But hold on. Hold on. Are you looking to what happening in hospitals across this country? I'm not denying any of this, but billions. Why 16. Okay. Why hold on natural immunity, So I don't deny that because I don't know whether or not Because, as I explained in a few minutes ago to another caller Sometimes you have the virus and you don't know it. There are no symptoms, but you become a carrier. Are you aware of that? I'm not going to argue with. Don't argue with me. I'm asking you. Are you aware that there are people who have the virus who have no symptoms? They're asymptomatic. If you read the science, you know that right? But John, There are people that have been vaccinated that are still giving the virus. What did because they haven't totally gotten rid of. What did I tell you a moment ago, But you weren't listening because you have an opinion. The reality is you can be double vaccinated. Why do you think I wear a mask? Why do you think I wanna mask and let me tell you a mess too? But listen to me. You're not listening. You don't want to listen. I am telling you that people who are double vaccinated still come down with the virus. Are you aware of that? Of course I am. That's why I'm not getting vaccinated. No Father. That's Why bother? Because if you understand the science, you know that if you have the vaccine and you develop the virus, you will not Necessarily be hospitalized. Not necessarily go to the doctor. Look at who wear this pandemic is right now. The huge numbers they are UN vaccinated people. There are people Like you. Who are very logical but who resist the science. All I can say is good luck. Well, I I hope I'm lucky, too. But maybe there are just are people that heaven natural immunity. Okay, hold on. Hold on. Hold on. I understand your point about natural immunity. You tell that to over 600,000 people who have died. You tell that now to the epidemic that is taking place in a number of states in this union you I mean, you're not being logical, but I wish you the best. 41580808 10.

"Aircraft come over and put that fire out when he had 20 million people in Southern California at that time. That were threatened. I thought was pretty impressive. So I give him high kudos for those things. Well, what bothers me is his business thing. He's a businessman himself. He has businesses of wineries and restaurants. And during the covid understand part of it was safety. But to put those people out of business by closing them down. Well, he didn't. Don't you understand? He didn't put anybody out of business. The whole country was shutting down. We had to shut down. Well, yes And no, John. Because what happened was he was able to keep his businesses open, and a lot of the big white collar people were open. If you're talking about his restaurant business, his restaurant business suffered like everybody else's. What about his wineries and stuff? Well, there are businesses which were able to function and their businesses which were not able to function them for me, John, for instance, and I had a health club here in Scotts Valley that I closed down during the collapse of our economy, something similar. He had nothing to do with that, obviously, because he wasn't in office. But I'm taking back. You know if I had my health club during this time, it would have been in just the same kind of disaster because I couldn't run it. I couldn't fungo. I understand, but you can't blame Gavin Newsom for the fact that the state shut down. You can't blame Gavin Newsom for the factor business. And John. Now listen. Other businesses were able to stay open. Like you know, Apple and yes, yes, but along they allowed to do it, and then the small businesses were forced to, because if you were in a person to person business Where you're dealing with people. And let me remind you all of the names. You just mentioned Apple Google. They were operating from home. They weren't going out. So if you can operate, you can't serve food in a restaurant. By by using, uh people who are at home to know you can because you can phone in your order. Okay? Okay on the curb. You know what I'm talking about. Come on. Now, get enough. No, no, no, no. You have to think about this. It's like closing down the schools. Why don't we blame him for that? Why don't we blame them for the forthcoming He did the right thing. They're 100%. He did the right thing have to do it again. He may have to do the same thing with businesses. Yes, he may have to. But people unfortunately, don't always think logically. They think with their pocketbook, and they look at things like their gas prices going up. Yes, but you can't Okay. It's like blaming Gavin. For the forest fires and the drought. Nobody's been more nobody logically would do you know you are very much mistaken. Why? No, their son, their nicer You are very much mistaken. They are blaming him because when a disaster takes place who do you blame? You blame the person in charge person that's in charge. So let me ask you let me ask you the question them. Uh, you're voting yes, on the recall. Who are you voting for? From it? Who are you Voting for? For? Governor Ox. John Cox. Okay. Orangeman Orange, these, uh, Republican businessman out of Southern California, which actually run for the governor before and was defeated overwhelmingly. Yes, sir. And who's never see. At least at least he has experience and he's never held up to do some things never held elective office. Why not? What's your problem with Faulkner? Um, the Skip. He's another guy. I was thinking about, too. I mean, it didn't come to my mind right At that time, I thought how silly this thing is. And, you know, I don't think he's going to be recalled to be, frankly, because the Democrats will outrun this place. What 3 to 1 if they vote if yesterday, correct if they vote Now I got another issue that's going to be interesting here of now, Listen to this one. He has put out a thing where undocumented people can get on our health care system. Will your cost now, This has been going on all along anyway. But it's been continuing on and on that I have a problem with. I don't want undocumented people being able to give us not in favor of undocumented. This is Part of the myth. He was no more in favor of undocumented people. There was a bill that he just signed recently that passed through the state Legislature. Let me explain something to you. Is that not right? No. Hold on. What happens is if people are here, undocumented. Would you deny a child, for instance, the appropriate vaccinations? Of course not. Because if you're in a sandbox with a kid well, It depends. And of course, I wouldn't like to do something like that. Of course I wouldn't. The whole point is, I don't want these people here undocumented period. That's another question. That is not to have a Newsom's question. Gavin Newsom is governor of California. He's not president of the United States, but I appreciate the call. Hm? Carl suggests about Larry Elder. Uh, I think you'll like him. Get him on your show to speak. We've invited him doesn't answer. By the way, Gavin Newsom doesn't answer either. And and we're learning now, with with Chip who's trying to get Kevin Faulkner, he's giving evasive answers. Nobody wants to come on the air and be hit with hard questions. They should all be talk show hosts for a few hours. All right, let's go to Robert calling from Berkeley, Robert. Welcome to K G O. Yeah. Yeah, John, Thanks for having me on and and reference to the recall. I don't think that, uh That's going to solve the problem with California, which had been lingering for a long time. I think basically that, uh, Keeping governor no some in there and give him an opportunity to correct the shift to right the ship. In other words, Uh, because there are a lot of issues out here in California existing homelessness problems with the E D D and so forth that, uh, probably someone in the new position is probably just gonna Have the same repercussions. So that's that's my input. Yeah, and I I agree with you. Nobody is going to solve the problem. But, boy, I hope Gavin wins Thanks so much. 41580808 10. I'm John Rothman. Right here on K G.

Um, uh, There is nothing to these folks. These guys are evil, their their, uh, probably the worst of the worst. I feel really sad for the women and Children over there and what they're going to go through. This could have been handled differently. We should have made sure the weapons were out.

We're going to have a disaster on our hands and eventually as Town and village and province after province fell to the Taliban. There was an inevitability. I don't blame anyone. The simple truth is Joe Biden was right. We couldn't stay indefinitely. The American people wouldn't want us to stay indefinitely, and I'm not raising this to be critical of anybody. I'm raising this subject because we better understand the implications of what is going to happen now to women. Yeah, and I'm not sure we really understood that when they got back in power, and what's going to happen and what's going to happen. Sure we did, Although will just emailed me, saying the Taliban will clean up their act. If only to manipulate by the world. Neither do I. But all right. Don't buy that. I appreciate that. Thanks.

S military was their training's over there, training the Afghan forces and to prepare for these days, and to me, it appears of That that's been a closet failure. Um, has been displayed on TV. Why aren't the general being held accountable? And why is Biden taken? You know 100% of the hits. I can tell you. You are correct when the hearings start They're going to start very quickly. There will be a serious question asked. We trained and equipped an army and Joe Biden used the number of 300,000 Afghanis. I don't know if that's true whether it was 300,000 or 50,000. Whatever it was, what is important is that immediately they threw down their weapons. They retreated. There was no resistance and one of the questions and it's a legitimate question that you're asking is Why And we're gonna have to find out. I mean, I don't have an answer tragically, except let me let me point out to you. Those of you have listened this program for a long time. No, I said, uh months ago years ago when we withdraw What happened in Vietnam, the collapse of the South Vietnamese army who will happen The Afghan army, and that's exactly what happened. You don't have to be a profit. To figure that out. And Yeah, we did it too late. Listen, I appreciate the call Christina. Thank you. So much for 1580808 10. Let me go to Thomas calling from San Jose Thomas. Welcome to K G O. Thank you, John. How are you? And thank you for waiting so long? Go ahead, John. Uh, That's what I'm horrified by what the Taliban is going, but, uh Uh, to the people who work for us. Okay, but we do the same thing. It is in our constitution. Adequate. Three, Section three. Does anyone who gives AIDS and comfort to anyone? Is a treat trader. Okay, so Taliban look at these people. Traders. You're right. That's what you're exactly exactly correct. Okay, So why don't you say why these people whether the fight 350,000 people? Why did they lay down their arms? Because we with our oh, Ziff might that we have with relative we couldn't beat Taliban. These people thought that if they laid their their arms down, then at least there would probably be were pardoned. Read and fighting until they die or if they were arrested, they would be killed. So let me ask you the question. Sure. What do we do now? I don't know. I don't know. I wish that you could have passed something in the in the Legislature that we make the look. Afghanistan state 51 of the United States. So we'll stay over there, but I don't know. I don't have any as these people are ruthless sh uh and they don't have any Had gram of humanity in them, so I don't know what to do. But what I'm saying is that is that we We exercise the same thing you remember when we attacked Taliban back in 2000 and one You might remember that there was a couple of Americans who were fighting in Afghanistan along with Taliban. And we brought them here and we put them on trial, and I think one of them left 20 years. Prison. So, uh, Taliban is in the color right now, and we cannot be hypocrite is wrong what they do, but just telling them what you're doing is wrong. It is so difficult as far as Can sell. All right. Listen, Thomas, we may be hypocrites, but we made have no choice. I appreciate the call. Um Dave Emails, John. I think the best option now to reduce the threat of terrorism, regain important stature and prevent humanitarian disaster is for the USA to break out of the airport and combat the Taliban with full force. Hopefully, the Afghan security forces, men and women will join the fight. Sometimes you don't have great options only less worse options. No talking, no point talking about what we could have done. And I have to tell you, uh The option you're proposing, which is military engagement is not on the table at all. And Joe Biden is not in favor of that. Whether you agree with Joe Biden or not.

Lois, Welcome to K G. Oh, well, thank you, John. Nice start to again. I might be spitting in the wind here, but I understand that the Taliban They desperately want. Want to be recognized by the international community, so international community in my mind Has a chance to say We will recognize you. If you clean up your act, otherwise you won't be recognized. They won't get all the perks of that recognition, and I don't know if it's worth a try or not, But that's what that's the only thing I can come up with kids. No, I understand that is pressure.

What bothered me tonight when I walked in to do my show Prep where all the stories explain to me why that isn't true. So the question becomes if they don't clean up their act, should there be a response from the world. And what should that response being? You're suggesting Don't recognize them.

They put out a model they were going to use, which they never did. Keep calm and carry on. Um we foes and I'm sure the rest of the Western world froze Afghani outset. I'm sure the Taliban would love to have those assets. There's a bargaining chip and I'm sure you know as well as I now that what saves people in situations like this is the gold that moves around the world and usually through the United Nations. But there's a financial bargaining ship. That's a big one. If and I'm saying this because I don't know. If there really are substantial assets. I don't know what the assets of the country are in terms of tangible assets. I know they have assets in terms of, uh, the natural resources and so forth. No. We froze their financial assets that were being held in the western world. You know they're going to want those back out of the banks. Yeah, but Afghanistan was not a rich country. Well know that the Western world was pouring assets to them. And where do you think those assets the bargain? And where are those assets? Now? Do you think Well, they're frozen. I don't know. I think they're in Swiss bank. I think they're not available to Afghanistan. No, but the leadership absconded with a lot of money. And I'm sure they have Swiss bank accounts and well, I don't Well, okay. I still think that's a bargaining chip. Maybe maybe, you know something is Uh, Have what closed our embassy there? Yes, we're operating out of the earth. Yeah, that was that was a tactical error because that embassy is our Country and now the gathering place to ferry people safely to the airport. Even if it's in a military convoy. Let me explain to you that was an impossibility. And I want to be crystal clear. We still have diplomatic presence. They moved the embassy staff to the airport,.

That will embolden the radical Islamists whether it is in Iran, whether it is in Yemen, whether it is in Egypt, whether it is anywhere. And that will create a problem for us in the future.

I don't know if that answers the question, Monica but, boy, I'm worried. Well, wouldn't the UN get involved and try to negotiate? Um, Global citizenship for the U. N. That's not the function of the U. N. There is no such thing as global citizenship. The United Nations. With all its great dream when it was founded here in San Francisco in April of 1945. It doesn't have any strength to do anything. And that's The ultimate failure of not only the United Nations, but it was the failure of the League of Nations before it. I wish I've presided. I presided at many of the U. N celebrations here in San Francisco with great pride. I've been a supporter of the United Nations for years. But the U. N will be as important here as it is, in general in the world. There's some things that does well. But this is not one of them. But Monica Thank you. Thank you for raising the issue. We can only hope. Have a good night. Thank 4158 year old eight year Oh, 8 10. Shannon calling from Santa Cruz. Shannon, You're great. Follow up, Go ahead. Hi, John. Thank you. I'm so sad. And then this is just such a debacle. No matter who was in charge and president or whatever here but my questions your producer was, Where is all the other Countries that are concerned about this. This is really important, but I don't hear anything about our allies or anybody else. And I'm just curious what you think about. We can't fix it. Um And you're right. 20 years down the road. It's still and it's going to be worse. Coming forward are going forward. So where do we go from here? With our allies tomorrow there will be a meeting of the G seven. It will take place by, uh by video. They're not meeting in person. But I'm very, very anxious, very anxious to see what the conclusion will be. Unfortunately, I have to tell you, I don't think there will be much of a conclusion. I don't think there will be much of a solution because the world really is impotent as to what it can do. I'm I'm very upset because I believe in the rights of gay people. I believe in the rights of women, and I can't believe what they're doing already. I mean, I can, but I just I'm just horrified. And, um, they're no big. I don't know. What do you do? I mean, what do we do? That is the question. Look, I participated in the movement to free Soviet Jews. We mounted international protests, but but this is a completely different situation. The Jews in Germany we saw what was happening. And the world. Unfortunately, for the most part Didn't do a thing and millions died. It may they had to. Yeah, and it may be, But that's what will happen now. I don't know. But that was a question I had from before two. How did Hitler ever give that power sits a little weasel and look what's happening again? I mean, this is this is The threat of radical Islam. I commend to you my book, uh, icon of evil, Hitler's mufti and the rise of radical Islam because it describes It describes the evil as best as my co author, and I could do anyway, I got to learn from it. Thank you so much. Thank you, Shannon. Wish I had a better answer. 41580808 10, believe me. I wish I had a better answer. I'm John Rothman. Right here on K G. O John Rothman on KGO.

"Is an independent party. That's a whole different matter. But in order to be a party and I'll tell you the thing that really really grabbed me. I covered the Republican National Convention. While sitting in this chair, your kgo Do you remember what happened? For the first time. In the history of the Republican Party. They did not adopt a platform. Don't, they said They said. Our platform is whatever Donald Trump says. And and that absolutely blew me away. And and I have to tell you that concerns me. They used as an excuse. The pandemic. And this is what they said. I'm going to give you the language. The RNC had the platform committee been able to convene in 2020 would have undoubtedly unanimously read to reassert the party strong support for President Donald Trump. And his administration. The Republican Party has and will Continue to enthusiastically support. President's America first goal. And finally, the Republican National Committee said the convention said that they enthusiastically supported President Trump and they continue to reject the policy positions of the Obama Biden administration. As well as those espoused by the Democratic National Committee. So It's not a positive platform. It was a negative platform. 41580808 10. I know we're concluding the hour. I've tried to fit as many. Of the emails that have come in as possible. Let me just conclude with Larry. John, Like I said before the best chance for a Republican thick party fix. Is for Donald Trump to get legally derailed in New York. That may well happen. You know, there are real lawsuits being brought. Let's see what happens. Let me go quickly to Matt from Oakland, Matt I want to get your comment, but we gotta do it quick. Welcome to KGO. Hi, John Mark again. I just wanted to briefly say That Jim Jones or chairman Mao when he had the red bird grades. Those were cults. And when you said the Republican Party didn't even have a platform They just went whatever. Donald Trump says his what we believe. That is not American. That's not a democracy. It's alive, out fixation. It's a serious problem. Yeah, I agree. I have a book at home, which is a compilation of all of the platforms of all the political parties in America since 18 32 when I have a hard time sleeping I pick up that book and read it. And John I'm a political science major. When I went to U of A and I used to think I would take Berry go under Senate because I grew up in Arizona. Was an Eagle Scout and all that stuff. But, uh, you know, I'm at this point, my wife I'm not really a conservative Republican anymore because they tried to do things like stop people from voting and And take him out. You know, they think that when if there's only a minority of boners so it I agree with you, 100%. So let me remind everybody that CBS special report a radical rebellion. The transformation of the GOP is tomorrow night. It'll be broadcast here. I believe that five o'clock our time. And watch it and we can discuss it Monday. Wonderful. And I want to thank you for your call. A pleasure. Good way to end the discussion. Okay. Uh, we want to get those commercials in and then we'll go toe Jan wall and will speak only of happy. Positive things. I'm John.

"Let's go to Janet calling from Oakland, Janet, Welcome to KGO. Hi. Hi, Janet. Welcome. Hi. How are you? I'm splendid. Thank you for asking. Good. I think that one thing that there's two things for me that what I think this problem is persists. The first thing as a Catholic when I listen to conservative Catholic radio, you hear people say, Well, you know, I'm a one vote, it went issue voter I only vote for abortion again. Yes, man. Tell you I heard that I heard that going home last night when I left the station and I turned on K fax. And they were. They were doing this whole thing by focus on the family, and it was the same thing. The only thing they care about is the issue of abortion. I listened to it with horror. Go ahead. I agree, And it's so awful because these people and it's a power and a money thing. They're making all this money and the power and they keep telling people this and to me it So, um Looks like a heritage because you're not supposed to do this. You can't sleep with the devil. You can't. It's like you laid down with pigs, and it's like I can't see why they don't have the vision to see that just because someone purports to have the same views you have on one issue. That That doesn't mean that that's necessarily a good person are someone you should, um, partner with? No, Janet, I agree with you and it it it shocks me. It shocks me on and I agree. Anyway, you're wonderful to call. I appreciate it. Thank you so much. Let me go to Roger calling from Alameda. Roger. Welcome to K G O. Hi, John. You and I have discussed this before, but I think that what this woman I think her name is Marjorie Taylor Green. That is correct. What I think she is symptomatic of a growing problem in the Republican Party and it's a very serious problem. They are getting so extreme. They have gone past going to the right. And they've gone into the crazy It's abhorrent that this woman would Claim that there's a Jewish conspiracy that's being launched from outer space upon California or anywhere else. It's abhorrent that she would attack the students, young people who are survivors of the vicious school attack where so many students were murdered, but unfortunately Led by Donald Trump. This is where the Republican not the whole party but enough of the party to storm the capital and threaten legislatures. And, you know, John, I honestly feel that the Republican Party the best thing that could happen for United States if it would disappear, and if they were Democratic Party, which split into the right part of the Democratic Party and the left part of it. The Democratic Party. I don't like what I see in the Republican Party. I don't like where they've been going for decades, and this doesn't even touch upon their constant attempts for voter disenfranchise of people who are minorities. This Republican Party has become abhorrent if you look at who they are and what they are, so I don't know how you feel about that. You often talk about reform for the Republican Party. This party has become so corrupt, morally and in terms of what they do to voters, right? I don't think they should even exist. I'm not talking about you or I or the government doing away with them. I am talking about people calling this out and pointing out as you do. That that's what these people are doing. It is, you know, reporters on evil. It's so bad. Well, all I can. All I can say to you is there are many symptoms that have to be cured. But I wanted to party system in this country that is vital and vibrant. And maybe I'm nuts. I I thought about that in terms of the Republican Party, the land in the Wilkie, the DUI, the Eisenhower, the Nixon, the Goldwater, the Reagan the bush that was a Republican party, which I could support or oppose. But this is a Republican party, which is just nuts. John. Why couldn't why couldn't a Democrat Party be split up into the right because they've gone really certain parts of Democratic Party have been pulled so much towards the center. Have gone towards the right like Joe Manchin and some of the other senators we have. Why couldn't you have the Democratic Party essentially represent two different Desires or two different. Well, What you're talking about, really is a liberal party and a conservative party. That's what you're talking about creating and the Republican Party. Theoretically, I don't believe it's true. It's supposed to be the conservative Party on the Democrats are supposed to be the liberal Party. I have to tell you. What we now have is the Democratic Party which has as you point out a left right and center. And the Republican Party which seems to have gone wacko. I appreciate your call. Right. Your comments for 1580808, and by the way, it pains me to say that Someone who is viewed as a scholar of modern Republicanism, a scholar of the Republican Party. Someone who has written extensively in this area. It pains me. If you weren't my house. We walked up the stairs. You would see a whole section of my library dealing with the Republican Party. But it is not the Republican Party. But I admired or respected. It certainly is not the Republican Party that met here in convention in 1956 to nominate Eisenhower or 1964 to nominate Barry Goldwater. 41580808 10. John Rothman, Right here on KGO parties invites you to try the new fiery famous star sizzling.
