| 0:00.0 | Welcome to the Conversations that Matter Podcast. I'm your host John Harris for a |
| 0:17.6 | wonderful cooler evening meaning it's like 85 instead of 95. |
| 0:22.6 | And I am just sitting out in my yard listening to the crickets |
| 0:25.7 | and enjoying a very slight breeze. |
| 0:27.7 | And it doesn't get any better. |
| 0:29.9 | Maybe 10 degrees lower would be a little better. |
| 0:31.8 | But at least I don't have sweat |
| 0:33.2 | dripping from my face as I make this which is an improvement over what it would have |
| 0:38.4 | been earlier if I had come out here and done it but I've inside, I've been working on a number of things. I know I've been putting out a lot of content lately and I don't want people to get used to that because I can't sustain that with some of the other projects, but I thought it was important enough for me to make |
| 0:54.4 | this video because today I've been I've been keeping my ear to the ground I've |

| 1:45.9 | RNC convention my whole life and |
| 1:49.9 | I mean at least since I can remember since I was interested in politics and it's always |
| 1:55.6 | been pretty cringing and yesterday was no exception to that so you know thank you |
