I'm Clyde loose and this is ground zero.

The numbers to call tonight 503 2250860.

That's 503 to 225 0.860.

We live in a representative republic where politicians are supposed to be made up of everyday citizens who turn over frequently.

That's the way it's supposed to be. That's the way I was always raised to think that

anyone can be president of the United States. And then I learned my lesson as I got older.

But no, not everyone has the opportunity. You become president of the United States.

You have to have a lot of money. you have to have a special bloodline, you know, that's how it is.

But that's the thing is that we're supposed to be turning over people.

I mean if they do a good job for a couple terms, great.

But we're supposed to turn them over frequently because we don't,

we don't want everything to get stale.

We want the soul of the nation to take a deep breath. We don't want to get

stuck in the same dangerous patterns we find ourselves in now. They want us to forget all of the progress that

our generation made. They're not giving us an opportunity to shine.

No Gen X, no late bloom, baby bloomers, no one.

we have often to vote for candidates whose minds are still fighting the Cold War,

especially Joe Biden,

that still thinks that Russia is the Soviet Union.
