Hi, James. Ben, how are you? I'm good. How are you? I'm thinking about running for president,

actually. Well, you have the platform. You're on the internet. This is true. This is definitely true.

It seems anybody, anybody with a bit of righteous indignation can get up right now.

Well, yeah, and apparently you don't even have to be born in the U.S., so.

God damn it.

That was the joke.

You were supposed to say, James, you're not American, you can't do it.

And I was going to say, well, it didn't stop Obama.

Oh, see, I was thinking of Cruz, which your joke would have been funny. I'm sorry, you told me

before the episode you had a joke that you were weighing this spring on me. I wanted to spring it.

I thought the first thing you were going to do was going to be like, but you're not American. I was like, yeah, but it didn't stop Obama. Anyway, I guess sometimes you pull these things off and sometimes

you don't. You went through all the effort of warning me you had a joke but not telling it to me.

Well, we could re-record it if you want. No, I've enjoyed your absurdity. Anyway, yeah, I know.

Well, what seems to be more absurd is that the person who was like one of the leading

accusers of the president not being born in America seems to be doing quite well in the polls.

But I'm sure we'll get into that.

We'll kind of get into that.

I'm just a I'm not a political observer.

I'm a political observer. I'm just not a political analyst. But, you know, let's get to the sponsorship before we get half our audience

turning it off and discussed. Support for this episode of Exponent comes from Wonder Capital.
