The David Pakman show David Pakman dot com. All right, I am back from vacation. The whole team is back I'll, have some pretty good vacation stories actually from very sunny and humid Aruba on today's when show, but one of the things that I did during the break, or I guess sort of didn't do I complete, Lee tuned out political news and really news of all kind during the vacation, and then when I got back, I start the process of catching up on what I'd miss to be ready for today's show, and it gave me some really good perspective. In a sense, I missed a ton, including a ton of erratic unhinged statements and act,

things from Donald Trump, and yet here we are ten days since the last new show any since nothing has changed, and I want to see if I can explain it in in a very particular way. Lots of things happened while I was gone, but nothing change in that Trump is still a threat to our economy. Trump is still a threat to the planet. Our allies are still disgusted with Donald Trump in our relationships with other countries continues to continue to be worse than they been in a very long time, and what we have to understand is that the media outrage rounds that take place with every stupid and crazy thing. That Donald Trump does don't change the reality of the policy that the Donald Trump Administration is putting out there. So, while I was gone, Donald Trump said, migrants at the US border under US custody won't get the flu vaccine. This is horrible. This leads the actual deaths. The admin stration, is exceeding their own limit for how long people are supposed to be held.

Ignoring their own limit that they've placed Trump's Jews who vote for Democrats are disloyal to Israel, which is of course premised on a totally anti semitic notion of Dual loyalty to Israel in the US that America, Jews, supposedly have according to be like Donald Trump. When day finish, leadership, told Donald Trump. Greenland isn't for sale, Trump erratic cancel this visit there I mean just a total embarrassment globally on all fronts despite having said he was going to push for gun control, a gun, background, gun safety, Asians in the form universal background checks. Trump is bad code to the NRA and said now not interested in doing those background. Checks anymore, true called himself the chosen one during another one of these erratic rants. Any one of these would have been scandal at any point during the Obama presidency. This was one

week of Donald Trump, while I was on vacation and I'm sure I'm missing things by the way, but in the end nothing changed during those ten days. The immigration policy of the Trump Administration is a humanitarian emergency. It was before vacation and it continues to be our tree Policy was a self destructive joke before the break and after it it's worse now and I'll talk about that later. On program. I mean that there's no impact for each of the things that Donald Trump does Trump says. No flu vaccine people died. I mean this is very real in that sense But what I mean is that the big picture has not changed. We have an erratic ignorant megalomaniac who is in charge of the United States the roof, looking party is halfway complicit and halfway in different and some sliver actually likes it and we need to be focused on.

Making the big changes. That will put a stop to this, which starts with removing the president, but it's got include taking control a back of the Supreme port and the lower courts, which, increasingly with every passing month, Donald Trump controls more and more of we've, got repair the relationships with other countries, you know starting to be reasonable, with people around the world, instead of being the petulant child, that everyone ignores ' 'cause, there's, no reasoning with them, and I've said this before and I'll say it again. This is a daily show that I do and but I tell you is: what's going on, I'm going to continue to make the effort to contain actualize. It explain why. The day to day matters explain what we can do, something because ' 'cause we need to be doing more than the outrage porn stuff. No one really benefits from that. This is me saying: let's bury our heads in the sand and ignore the news, but it's let's be more thoughtful and

specific about how we work with the news that we here and actually try to turn it into something activism, knowledge that becomes usable cattle voting. It's gotta go beyond the outrage porn and not paying attention to the news for this week confirm that number one. It's important to pay attention to the news, but we've got to be doing it in a particular way, where we understand that each individual news story is not changing or shaping the bigger picture, and the bigger picture is the important, context that we need to understand. So that's my sort refocus as I come back the vacation and that is going. I've been immediately on this show and in fact, we've got to go to trade policy. Next, I was welcome back welcome back from my vacation last week to yet another day of mass stock market crashes. On Friday, my mutual, the count looking very, very ugly and at first I wasn't sure,

what caused it, because I wasn't following the news last week, since we were on break the DOW is down another more than six hundred points, the NASDAQ and and P500 and the Russell two thousand, all down the same or more on a percentage basis, and then I flight home. I started catching up on news, getting ready for the week of, shows and realized, oh yeah at Donald once again scale, but the trade war and straight up tweeting fascistic threats of but controlling american companies and once again, stocks are taking a dive. Donald Trump, yes, pudding even more self destructive tariffs on China. But before doing that, take look at what the President of the United States, tweeted quote. Our country has lost stupidly, trillions of dollars with China over many years, they stolen our intellectual property at a rate of Hund of billions of dollars a year, and they want continue. I won't let that happen. We don't need China. Anne frankly, would be far better off without them. The vast

amounts of money made and stolen by China from the United States year after year for decades will an must stop. Here is a key part. Our great american companies are hereby ordered to a meter start looking for an alternative to China, looting, bringing your company's home and making your banks in the USA. Ok, it goes on from there. The key part is America in companies are hereby ordered to immediately look for alternatives to China. What does that mean? It's completely perplexing from a legal point of view, first of all, as a tweet, does it count as Apolosi? Is it a formal directive? The can say this is no, it doesn't, but it still sounds official when you see the president saying companies are hereby ordered, but as a tweet alone, it is not law or a formal directive in and of itself. But then the question is:

is that something Donald Trump is going to do? What is the legal basis for ordering companies to not deal with China? Is this some kind of de facto sanctions without actually putting in place sanctions? Is he threatening to put in place those real types of sanctions, which would be just an implosive act when it comes to the american economy, which I'll explain in more detail momentarily? This is the type of thing that actually happens in fascist dictatorships, it's the sort of mob style, authoritarian, national politics and then income. The terrace once again escalating these back and forth retaliatory tariff from China on the US from the US on China to our detriment. Tober one tariffs on two hundred fifty billion and imports go from twenty five to thirty percent destructive September. One three billion dollars will be taxed at fifteen percent instead of ten percent understand. There is

the off ramp here. This is crushing farmers. This is bad for builders. This is bad. For all sorts of everyday Americans, we are told Eventually, these tariffs will be so destructive to China that China cave and come to begging and pleading, and from going to win and everybody's going to be happy, it's not going to happen understand that a ton of the stuff that we sell to China, we can get elsewhere or they can make themselves they're already. Turning to other countries for some building materials, there make energy deals with Russia. The things we get from China would be way more expensive to either make here or get elsewhere. We don't have the leverage. This is not a political analysis. This is economic reality. This is sort of like a mob dispute, except here one side. He has no leverage but doesn't get it in the MA,

often times they know when they're beat they know when they don't have leverage and they adjust their behavior behaving like a mob boss with leverage, but he doesn't have it we're increasingly out in this triangle of the world: superpowers, China, Russia and the US, China and Russia, increasingly working together more and more while the United States is ignored and out and self destructing with Donald Trump's trade policy. No one is denying that China, a human rights issue, no, is denying that they are doing horrible things when it comes to intellectual property. But this is just the logistical reality they can bounce back this trade war way more easily than we can. The markets are seeing it. We do not have the leverage and Trump ignores that we have a trade deficit with China. For a reason. This is like a fundamental misunderstanding. Trump says: look there trade deficit with China, we import from them much more than we export that's the definition of a trade deficit.

It's a sign that we are losing to China designed our economy to have a trade deficit with China. What I mean is we can import tons of cheap stuff from them good for our economy in a particular way, but there's good and bad to all of these arrangements, this type of situation has winners and losers in different ways, but Rick because the Democrats both wanted a trade deficit, even if they didn't say we want to trade deficit. In that the whole point was: let's get a bunch of stuff from China because a cheap, and then we can make it available internet in the United States, two people at far lower costs than it they would be if we were to manufacture, ourselves or in higher cost of production countries? Republicans and Democrats both wanted it. We knew that it would of jobs cost and it has- and that's a perfectly reasonable debate to have, but done trump doesn't understand that Donald Trump doesn't have an off ramp from from the trade from the tariffs, the trade war. Donald Trump doesn't

stand that we have a trade deficit. For a reason. It's not just China is winning or China has us over a barrel. Sadly, Trump's ignorant base never got it when Trump bragged about his expertise. When it comes to trade, they still don't get it and the probably still vote to reelect the guy in two twenty, but this is the reality. The mark is there suffering everyday people are suffering. Farmers are suffering, people that work for home builders are suffering and Trump doesn't even seem to have the capacity to understand the mechanics behind it.

There are things that Pres It can do that. We just think are the wrong policy and there, where things presidents, sometimes do that, make us question the entire democratic process, and I'm punching my Michael Ready, because I'm so fired up about this that got the press selected in the first place today is one of those Donald Trump is tested, multiple times that we should bomb hurricanes bomb hurricanes to stop them. It sounds like a satirical news headline. It sounds like a joke, but it's the suggestion and not have a random seventy three year old guy that

I just saw urinating underneath the subway platform. These are the words of a seventy three year old guy who happens to president of the United States, and the White House is not denying it. Here's a paraphrased quote this. Is the stuff of horrors. I got it. I got it. Why don't we nuke them Trump said they start forming off the coast of Africa as they're moving across the Atlantic. We drop a bomb inside the eye of the hurricane and disrupt it. Why can't we do that per axle Those who is reporting on this asked how the briefer reacted to Trump suggestion, though source says that the briefer said to Trump, Sir, will look into that their placating. This is how it works behind the scenes. Trump says what about bombing or nuking hurricanes, and they say, Sir, going to take a look into that Trump reiterated the suggestion that the government can intervene with bombs against hurricanes before they make landfall multiple times and listen

trump seems to think he knows a lot about nukes right. Remember this beauty having nuclear uncle was a great professor and scientist and Engineer Dr John Trump at MIT good genes, very good genes, okay, very smart to finance very good, very smart. If you're a conservative Republican, if I were a liberal like ok, if I ran as a liberal Democrat, they would say I'm one of the smartest people anywhere in the world's true but and you're a conservative Republican they try or do they do a number? That's why I only started went to Wharton was a good student? Went there went there. Did this built the four years I have to give my leg credentials all the time, 'cause we're little disadvantage, but you look at the nuclear deal but thing that really bothers me. That would so easy and it's not as important as these lives are nuclear, so powerful. My uncle expo

that to me many many years ago, the power- and that was thirty five years ago. He would explain the power of what's going to happen and he was right who would've thought yeah. So that was all one sentence by the way: the briefer in another case, when Donald Trump suggested bombing hurricanes was reportedly quote, knocked back on his heels and that it became so quiet in the room that you could hear and at fart in the meeting 'cause going to a source that spoke to Axios Trump has reportedly brought this idea up multiple times with the part of homeland security with national security officials. With the senior administration official asked up this, the White House is not denying it. They said. We don't comment on private discussions that the press, and it may or may not have had with his national security team. That's an admission that this was suggested by Trump okay in the world of politics. If you are presented with something completely

ridiculous. That of course didn't happen. Like hey, we heard Donald Trump suggested going out, and personally murdering people in the streets like Trump wants to go out and shoot. Some people is that she is that something Trump set. You would immediately have multiple Vishal Singh, absolutely ridiculous. The reporting is false, never said it absolutely ridiculous. They said something here. That's almost as crazy, why don't we bomb hurricanes and the White House is saying we don't comment what the president did or didn't say and there's another administration official whose actually defending the idea saying that quote. Donald Trump's goal is simply to keep catastrophic huh canes from hitting the mainland, which is a good goal to have. This is a defense of the idea of bombing hurricanes that Donald Trump says adjusted multiple times, so, let's go through it trump, not the only person to think of this idea back during the Eisenhower era. It

is considered. We knew a lot less at the time. Is it possible that we could use these new bombs that we made to disrupt hurricanes seventy years ago, however, long ago it was scientists agree, it just won't work period. The only disagreement that exists. This story is, did Trump suggest boy I or did Trump suggest nuking the hurricanes, so bombs non nuclear weapons versus nuclear weapons. There are reports of both the only disagreement that really exists here now. It's also kind of interesting that, in the background of this, once again, it's always near non white people. That Trump is thinking of dropping the bombs right like I get. This is probably just a coincidence, but is thinking, let's bomb the hurricanes where they form near Africa may be coincidental, but just sort of notable. Nonetheless, given how this administration has been run, if Trump were a family member or a friend,

if you cared about, if Trump was a personal contact, you would have staged an intervention by now and you would have gotten the person some help. How did we elect someone this stupid or on, and then the answer is well, because sixty million people thought this was a good idea and that, basically, as you, everything you need to know about the american electorate this, the crisis, the crisis is Trump, but crisis is also that there, tens of millions of people who are going to enthusiastically vote to reelect the guy in November of twenty twenty, ultimately is going to be a get out. The vote election and that leads to what I want to talk about next Trump, is how touting doing a fifty one percent approval rating from some a specific right, leaning pollsters. But the reality is that Donald Trump's approval rating has dropped to its lowest in twenty nineteen, which is thirty, six percent

this is looking at one poll that has been done over time. The Associated press poll. It's been tracking, Trump's approval for his entire presidency and right now, Trump's approval is thirty. Six percent is this: approval is sixty two percent, so let's contextualize this, let's explain it matters and then talk about how it relates to twenty twenty. First of all, the context from Super EVIL has been in the range of thirty two to forty two in the Associated Press poll since day one so it didn't go lower than thirty two percent approval. It's never higher than forty two percent approval. That's a small range of only ten points that one one thing that relates to is the hyper partisan shipping polarization in the United States. Politically, we've talked about that before now. Trump is at thirty. Six, that's pretty to the middle of that thirty two to forty two range, a little bit on the lower end, and that type has the lowest approval of twenty nineteen. So is this

some kind of breaking news that changes everything Trump approval at thirty? Six? Well, not in the sense that Trump is in the middle of the approval range that he's had all presidency. Secondly, some partisan context: if you look at Democrats, ninety five percent disapprove of Trump Republicans approve. Seventy nine percent and independence approve sixty five percent. That's an important number, the seventy nine percent that Republicans approve. This is an because Trump's been touting and Republicans have been leaning on Trump. The five percent approval. Among Republicans, I don't know what pull that is. This is a good poll that we're looking at and it says, hold on. Seventy nine percent of Republicans approve of trump matters in the context of a primary challenger, which now Donald Trump has informer Conger when Joe Walsh and I'll be talking about that later. In the show. Ninety five,

an approval from your party and seventy nine percent approval from your party are two very different things and in a price Mary, the goal of which would be not to defeat Donald Trump in the primary. It's not going to happen, but do some damage to Trump that is going to be significantly influenced by the difference between Republicans approving of Trump seventy nine percent versus ninety five. So that's important, also important. There are three error where Republicans actually disapprove of Trump's handling more or then they disapprove of him over also again, remember seven: five percent of Republicans approve of Trump. However, only seventy seven percent think he's handling healthcare correctly, only seventy five say he's handling foreign policy correctly, and seventy percent believe he's handling gun policy correctly. This is important, and it's interesting, but Republicans are not going to vote for a Democrat

because they disagree with Trump on these issues. This is important to understand. For Democrats policy is a voting issue by and large for Republicans, one policy can be a voting issue if you are on the wrong side of more guns and more places, but the reality is if you're, a Republican and you don't love trumps, make guns, you're not going to go and vote for a Democrat over that. That's the reality. Health care a lot Republicans, twenty five percent of them they might recognize trump- is completely bungling. Healthcare they're not going to go and vote for a so called socialist Healthcare plan from a Democrat they're still, but Trump they just don't like what he's doing on healthcare. Similarly, foreign policy, foreign policies, not a voting issue in the way that domestic economic issues are so that gets us to. What do we do with this data, whether thirty six percent approval or third, two percent approval, or even in the Twenties Donald Trump, still win reelection I've

I've run the numbers before with you half the country doesn't vote, you could have a twenty six percent approval turn out. One percent more voters in some key states than the other party and win because the country doesn't vote so following Donald Trump's approval is red live and it helps us to understand how people, especially Republicans, are reacting to Trump. It does not tell us anything what's going to happen in twenty. Twenty. All you need to know is that Donald Trump could have a slash six percent approval rating and easily win and by the way, the fact that he has a thirty percent approval rating tells us that there are tens of millions of people who are so disconnected from reality. Ideologically blinded that they don't care what happens in the real world, they are voting for Trump in twenty twenty period. Ok, try has tens of millions of votes in twenty twenty already it's August of twenty nineteen

The elections in November of twenty twenty Trump 10S of millions of votes. Once you know that you realize this becomes gay out the vote, because we're not going to be able to convince these people in any large numbers. I know I'm a broken record at this point. I've been talking about this for so long. This is going to be about get out the vote. That needs to be priority in our context heading into two thousand, and twenty tell me if you think there is some other way in which Trump's approval is relevant beyond reminding us he's 10s of millions of votes in the bank already and we've got a the vote out, follow us on a instagraminstagram dot com, Slash David Packman Show and oh I have a new story.

Welcome back to the David Pakman show there's a very interesting development, which is that Donald Trump has a serious primary challenger. Now let me sort of explain what I mean by serious by serious. I don't mean someone that has any chance of actually beating Donald Trump in the republican primary, but it's serious in that it's someone who is more of an actual Republican. As far as the percent enough him, then William Weld who's running against Trump, and his name is Joe Walsh. He's a former congressman Joe Walsh, told George step Napolis on his ABC Sunday morning. Show yesterday that he is running for president in the The primary against Donald Trump, pressing

points too often is just about. The poll shows more than eighty percent support for the president. Among Republicans, they do have an alternative I'll. Tell you what George and look I'm running because he's unfit somebody needs to step up and there needs to be an alternative. The country is sick of this guy's tantrum he's he's a child again the litany he lies every time he opens his mouth now. The thing is working against this guy. Okay Trump has a very high approval rating among Republicans, but not as high as Trump things Trump says. It's a ninety five percent approval rating. It's more like eighty. According to a new Associated Press poll wall which has a lot of exploitable personal issues, including allegedly being a dead, the Republican National Committee isn't going to support a primary challenge to Donald Trump. But- and this is the dream Joe Walsh

might be able to get in the way just enough to become an annoyance to Donald Trump, which would be really great trump has a ' approval rating among Republicans, but it's not set in stone. Many republicans say they support Trump, merely 'cause. They don't like Democrats and it's their way of showing it, but there is one percent of Republicans that already does not support Donald Trump and the that is one slash five of the party that my might be interested in an alternative republic to Donald Trump. The Rnc won't support a primary challenge, but they do even really need to, because the goal here is not to beat Trump in the primary, in the same way that the goal of an impeachment inquiry isn't to remove Trump before two thousand and twenty the goal of all of these ideas is to weaken Donald Trump. So do we on the left want people running against Trump from within the republican Party? Absolutely stronger. They are here, we are to see it. Democrats can just keep

running their primary and meanwhile anything that could weaken Donald Trump is a good thing. Wall running against Trump, my lead to some money being spent that otherwise, wouldn't and impeach an inquiry would replace some Trump campaign media stories with some imp, Teachman Inquiry stories, and that could damage Donald Trump remember. Two thousand and sixteen was decided by seventy thousand votes in three states. Any of these things that could weaken Donald Trump or interfere with Donald Trump being able to set the narrative. We should welcome and we should encourage. This is Donald Trump strength when he what's the narrative and is the media in a frenzy, gets spending three five or seven days on something that Trump benefits from, or at least that Trump would prefer. They focus on other than some more damaging thing. That is good for Donald Trump, Joe Walsh. A disgusting ideological clown he's completely qualified to be president of the United States, But-

Republicans already voted in a guy who's completely unqualified. To be president by all means, have added Joe see what you can do see what amount of support he can pick off from the Republican Party and by the way, don't forget and this is like the dream scenario, if Joe Walsh can get some traction with the fifth- the Republican Party that doesn't approve Trump again latest poll from the Associated Press, seventy percent of Republicans approve of Trump twenty one percent do ok, that's one slash five of Republicans, Joe Walsh, can pick up three percent support five percent support in the republican primary. Obviously he loses the primary that may be enough. It may give him enough money and may give him enough momentum to say you know what I'm going to run as a third party, because Joe Walsh had said he's terrible guy, but he said he apologizes for his role in helping to elect Trump in twenty. Sixteen. If his goal

all is really to do anything, he can to remove Trump, he might say going to run third party and they, when you look at how close it was in so many key states, Wiscconsin Misha in other states, Joey running as a Republican could actually sorry Joe Walt running as an independent could actually take in uh republican votes away from Donald Trump that it flips one state to the eventual democratic nominee. Two states to the event will democratic nominee. So this is not strategy for the left. What we need to do is run if primary and then get people to vote. Get people to vote who otherwise wouldn't half the country doesn't vote, find people who already agree with us tell them. This was very small margin in this state in that state in which ever state you should vote. That's still our strategy, but if Joe Walsh is going to create an annoying distraction like a mosquito that you just can't get to get leave you alone for Donald Trump up until the Republican National Convention

then might actually run as an independent. He could see single handedly hand to stay to the demo, Dick nominee and conceivably turn this election. It might not happen. We should support it. Is it does nothing bad for us and pit actually does some good things. It's it's and uh. He is dead end in what it is in that it is going to be the republican nominee unless he were to drop out or something who knows, but it is not a dead end in that it could have a real impact and really hurt Donald Trump in the eventual general election. If disagree with me, tell me where I'm wrong on the numbers. Okay, if you disagree with me for some other reason, I guess also, let me know, but the real case, I'm making is mathematic Lee. This could have an impact that is not good for Donald Trump. I told before our vacation last week that our friend Jd Schulte is once again challenging incumbent disgust,

Republican, Steve King and I was fourth district in twenty twenty away that Jd Scholten down at Netroots nation in August of twenty eighteen, he eighteen again, ST again Steve King in twenty eighteen and lost by only three points. It's very sad because it would've been amazing to knock off one of the most vile and despicable members of Congress are king, is in and Jd Scholten is running. A king has said crazy things about abortion. King is reminisced about when why supremacy and white nationalism weren't offensive, saying to the New York Times during an interview white now nationalist white supremacist, western civilization? How did that language become offensive? What king is in trouble republicans have abandoned him and he has almost no money. This is so funny. King hasn't received one donation from a pack

associated with an existing member of Congress. This is a common way that these guys fund each other corporate packs aren't donating to Steve. Can special interest groups aren't donating to Steve King? In the first six months of this year, King received two two donations from third party local entities. One was from Lamar Smith on a Lamar Smith Associated Pack, former republican congressman and two thousand dollars from Todd aching tied is the guy who said that the body shuts down a legitimate rape and the woman can't get pregnant. That guy is saying want to donate two thousand dollars to Steve. King republican party groups are also not donating, so this guy can be defeated. Think back to twenty eighteen, Jd Scholten lost by only three points in twenty Steen, I'm sorry in and eighteen back when Steve King was still able to raise money. The sky, Steve King, is

someone who came to power as a tool of big business. Quite frankly, he came to power because the bankers gave him money. He came to power because big builders, and companies like Att and big food, gave him money. Big insurance gave Steve King money. There getting a money this year and that's really really bad for Steve King. So as usual, there is the good and the bad good news, is that without money he can easily lose to Jd Schulte, the bad, or at least the troubling part, is how did it take until two thousand and twenty to realize for Republicans, they need to abandon this guy and the answer. Is they don't really care there playing now like there? Oh they're, so disgusted with the things that Steve King has said? No, it is the same Steve King that's been around all along and while this wasn't a problem for them, king was another vote in the house and that's why they wanted it. It's not that he

was someone that they disagreed with or agreed with or whatever they were in. They just want someone to check a box and say yes I'll vote Republican now he's become a pr problem, so they're abandoning him, and let's not tribute to morality and ethics. What we can to, merely to republican sing politics of sport wins and s is checking box and that's it, but he needs to go. Hopefully he will, in twenty twenty check out check out his campaign. Jt's, a former professional baseball player. Super sky hung out with him in in twenty eighteen. In New Orleans, as I mentioned, he came so close in twenty eighteen, with the loss of Steve Kings funding and the abandonment that Steve King is suffering from his republican party colleagues. This could an amazing time to get a Democrat in the I o. Fourth congressional district check it out, check out, Shelton and hopefully we'll be talking to him on the program, will take a quick break.

Patrie on dot com, Slash David Pakman show the David Pakman show David Pakman dot com, okay, so the timing of our vacation ended up being perfect because we had this really funny voice mail. A couple weeks ago, were someone a sort of saying to me in the voice mail- and I said, let's anybody- who's got some music production skills turn this into like an Edm remix or do a dub step. Remakes are a parity or whatever and they just poured in during the vacation, and I'm going to play some of them for you today. So this I think a lot of people are going to like this. I know some people get mad when not everything is about politics, but there's a lot different things that we talk about. On the show, so I hope you enjoy this. Let's start with some of these are so good. Let me just remind you: this is the voice mail that came in a couple of weeks ago that

I asked you know: do something in the Edm style. Do some dub, Dubstep Remix use your creativity, they've poured in okay, I've already had to narrow them down, because there were just so many. This is a sampling. I do think that there are actually some contenders here for become our actual new intro theme song for the podcast radio show and television show. So I'm going to name these by number, I as an advance. If yours didn't make it it's not that I didn't like it, it's that I had to do some sampling some sub selection, because otherwise this take all day. If you want to

note on which should be the new theme song, tell you the number so I'll say this is number one. This is number two there's only one way to vote and that's by email using the contact form on our website. It's just it's too hard to come through you comments and twitter mentions and stuff like that. So go to Backman DOT, com click on contact sambo for number one number, two number: three: whatever you can even just do it in the subject line, and then you can. You know I, I guess you probably have to fill and the body to send the message, but it to say much other than theme song. I'm voting number one thousand two, three, four, whatever you can also say by the way, keep the current theme song. If you prefer that we don't have to change it.

Ok, we do have a voicemail number. That number is two thousand one hundred and ninety two David P2192 David, P, here's an interesting and completely sincere question from a viewer. Take a listen to this. Hey David, I'm wondering um? When is the first time you really a question the sexuality and

Uh, how did that come out? You know tip lie to do my guest at I mean looking first option. How did he that will see responsible or was he a sort of amateur. Thanks, yes, I've got completely sincere question, it's funny by the way, obviously, what they're saying is. When did I start to question my sexual orientation? The answer being? Never when I was like five, I knew I liked girls butt a lot of people say sexuality, which is not sexual orientation, exactly actually look at the definition of sexuality. It's something else and it's almost a freudian slip in a sense or it's like you're, not even really asking me about what you think you're asking me about but, in any case Pat took it all very professionally. I disclosed during the hiring process that I am exclusively dating women and

that said that that was completely fine and he was completely responsible and professional in every way and we've had no problems whatsoever. Thank you so much King Lee. Now this is I I I I hesitate to even say this because I don't want to offend people. We are. We got back from vacation and I had several one hundred voice mails to go through to see what could I use on today's show. That was the best thing in terms of you know. When I listen to the voice mails, I'm listening to, is there a funny or interesting point what the colours connection like? How long is the voicemail? Some people leave a three minute voicemail and then it maxes out, that's the max and the call back and say they need to add on to it like how we ever played a five minute voicemail on the show. No, once I eliminated bad audio people that are droning on and on and on things that just aren't interesting. Unfortunately, some people who seem to maybe not be totally well, who call in regularly I at,

really didn't have that many short pithy interesting ones, so that that's what we ended up with it's disappointing, but. Alas, such is life and that so we're working with what we've got. That's all I can really do. And yes, I know that man, you sent a couple. Your audio disastrous during them and it was completely unusable in every way. On today's show we will be talking about my vacation to Aruba. I will talk about the culture. I will talk about the cuisine I will talk about the geography. I will talk about all sorts of other things from my trip on today's bonus show. We will also hear from producer Pat who went on I've deliberately, not ask him anything about it. Yet pat was on another one of these road trip. Extravaganzas this one id the short circuiting the car trouble thing, because, instead of doing the entire trip in a partially already broken down van, he flew

out and rented a car for the beginning of the entire thing, national Parks Vegas, all sorts of other stuff. So I I've heard nothing about it and we're gonna hear about it on the bonus show.
