Hey, everybody. Welcome to the McCrack podcast, Virginia, you have texted. I'm here with my good friend.

Nick, it's hot out. Is it really bad where you are? It's hot. Okay. It's not, it's not, it's not, it's very nice here. But yes, I hear Chicago's 100 and whatnot. I, I, I suffer from perpetual seasonal amnesia. When summer rolls around, I forget what it feels like, what it's like to go outside and go for a run and feel like it might be your last. I'm sweating, man. I'm sweating. Yeah, that's too bad. We're finally getting the nice, decent, warm weather I've been waiting for. So I, I know, but I'm, you know, can't complain. That's just awful. But please stay cool. Please say out of the, out of the heat if you can out there because of it's... Well, everybody, if you want to complain about Nick's absolute L.A. bullshit, go over to patreon.com slash Mike Craig Podcast. Support the show. That way you can leave comments on our patreon episodes you can listen

to and join in on our live episodes and also go to our discord and say nick quit it quit

lording over us with your los angeles idyllic climate that you get to think about while the

rest of us are out in the rest of America sweating

our asses off. I'll be reading them at the beach. How dare you? But yeah, and by the way,

a reminder, we're supposed to have a debate next week. Oh, right. If this debate happens,

which I am still skeptical of, Nick and I are going to go live, talk about it

afterwards, give you our exclusive analysis. I promise you it's going to be better than anything

you see on cable news or anywhere else. And that's patreon.com slash my great podcast.

Nick, hang on, Jared. What do you think it is? What's the countdown here? At what point is it too late to back out for Trump?

Minutes before. You really can go that, it can go that deep into the count.

Oh, wait a second. I'm sorry. I'm getting a transmission from the future. It's Jared from next week.

Apparently Donald Trump, the Republican candidate for president,

walked into the stage, looked around, touched the podium, and walked right out and said

he's not going to do it. I'm sorry. I just got that transmission. All right. All right. Good to know.

I mean, do you doubt that? That's that's Donald Trump bullshit. That's perfect. You painted a picture right there. Yeah, that's how it works.

Speaking of this campaign, we have a we have a lot that we need to get caught up on.

We are in the mix right now. And one of the things that has happened and this is something,

I'm going to talk a little bit about conversations I've had with a couple of Democratic strategists.

This was something that was in the mix for a couple of weeks.

Of course, we went live after Donald Trump was convicted on 34 felony counts in New York State.
