Kyllä, se on lempeä kesä nyt, kun elämänmaku on kaikista makein. Mieli kuin nuorena tyttönä kaurapellolla, kun saa liihottaa. Nauti vaan ja ota väli pala välissä. Ai, ai, ai, ai, niin se on. Eloveena. Täyttä eloa.

Good evening, Chris. Thank you very much, my friend. I actually, if you don't mind, if you do not have to rush off, can I just, can I interview you a little bit about the Graham Plattner news? I wanted to know, I mean, I saw your coverage of it over the course of this last hour, but what do you think is going to happen?
It seems untenable for me that he will continue, although ultimately, we should note that the way this works is that it is his decision. He won the nomination. So no one can force him out. Obviously, all the signals are being sent. from, I think, anyone that has any influence that they want him to drop out. I think that's a combination of a political calculation, probably first and foremost, that he is too damaged politically to beat Susan Collins or be the best candidate. And I think also a moral calculation that the allegation here is the most serious allegation of everything that has been said about him. And I think because of the way that the individual making the allegation presented it, how manifestly obviously tortured she was, cross-pressured about politics, that that is also having a resonance with people.
But Again, you know, he did win the primary and a lot of people didn't run in that race because they thought it was going to be really hard to beat Susan Collins. And they ran the gubernatorial race, which is the context for all of this of why in some ways it has gotten to this point.
Yeah, and I was just, I mean, as soon as I read the news today, I mean, there was this, we sort of rumblings as he had canceled a bunch of events, including Independence Day events, and his campaign schedule kind of blew up, so it kind of felt like something was coming. And then as soon as the Politico piece came out, I just immediately was thinking about your, you know, seminal interview with him after the last round of very serious allegations against him, which he denied, like he denies these. And, I mean, having that conversation with him in that incredibly intense moment right around the primary, what was your—I guess, what was your take on, like, is this the kind of guy that no matter what is said about him, no matter how big the bomb is that goes off, he is committed to never apologizing and never getting out?
Or did you feel like, you know, it matters on what the revelation is?
I think I came away with the latter. I also didn't feel we played this in my show, but there was a few different ways I asked, two different ways of, is there anything else out there? Yes. And I'll just say that I didn't, He basically said no, but I didn't necessarily feel like that no was 100% convincing. Again, this would be just like reading body language and making a personal judgment. It's not because I have inside knowledge, just the way that you react. That no felt like a little wobbly. I'll just say it. I think other people who heard the no felt like it was a little wobbly too. And I think, you know, I think that's obviously borne out.
Yeah. And I will tell you just a little. When you did that interview, I listened to it live on Sirius XM as it was happening. And on that point, which you were very insistent with him on, I was like, that doesn't sound like a categorical clear. No. And I went home and watched the tape version of you. do it because I wanted to see him give his answer too. And that was my take too.
What breaking political stories open the episode and set the news agenda?
And again, you know, reading body language and reading like somebody's personal affect on things like that is the world's most unscientific assessment. But I think you and I had the same, I at least had the same inkling that you did there.
