how long does that magic dial? it s a good show. we re enjoying it. yeah, we are. you re absolutely right. he s stirring the pot. it s fun. if nothing else, he s made politics fun again. you know what my guess is, until voting time this winter it s going to get more serious. there s going to be a culling and weeding out. people are going to wait for trump to implode. supposedly he s going to sorts of blow himself up. hasn t happened yet. i m guessing he s confounded our expectations so far. guessing, great writer, great historian, thank you very much. thank you, neil, appreciate it. evan thomas. we all talk about how urgent tomorrow the federal reserve will decide, maybe, maybe tomorrow is the day they ll hike interest rates for the first time in a decade.
himself now as an entertainer, but i was very happy to hear him mention the middle class. this is the first time that he s really started talking about the middle class. i want to stop you light there because i want to stop you right there because i want to listen to what donald trump is saying right now. people are asking him questions. that will start weeding out. but, no, i like that she s on the debate stage. as you know, i said she should mr. trump, do you think you re responsible for rick perry dropping out of the race? i don t know. he s a nice man. i knew him before he went a little bit hostile. and he went hostile in order to try to get some traction. it didn t work. so far it hasn t worked for anybody, if we know. you understand that better than anybody. so far it hasn t worked for anybody. but he went very hostile. he s a nice man. i really knew him before the fact. and i wish him a lot of luck. do you think other candidates of we oh. he is. he s a nice man.
