can you hear me? i can hear you. good, the idea of the president and what his message i can hear you, i can t hear chris. now i can. we re going to patrick, you got me? i got you now, chris. all right. good. the idea of the president coming to either of these places tomorrow and saying i didn t do any of this. this isn t about me. damn those democrats, damn the fake news. that cannot be in the rep witme tomorrow, is that fair. i think that s fair. whether president trump says something that is provocative, he has held to a higher standard of president of the united states. that s a fair thing to do. but i think we have to look at all of our leaders. the president says something, the physics of politics is one side says something, the other side reacts and all of this stuff is not helpful, chris.
this is driving our nation to a place where we can no longer have a thoughtful discussion about this kind of tragedy and what leads to it. it s got to stop. tomorrow is not the place for that to happen, and i m one that the president can bring some healing with him. it s going to take two to tango, chris. this is sadly politics. all right. let me play that metaphor that patrick has. who s driving what situation? it s true. a lot of different factors drive it, but the president sitting behind the wheel and he s got his foot on the gas, so what do you expect tomorrow? i expect the president to be the president. he s going to be the racist in chief. i want him to go to mar-a-lago, have a robe, drink a coke, put away your twitter and watch fox news. because this is a president who couldn t be bothered on sunday as a nation was mourning two marks to actually go to el paso, to go to dayton. what did he do?
here in el paso or in dayton tomorrow, but heavy is the head that wears the crown. the democrat mayor in dayton says she s going to welcome the president, quote, in her official capacity as mayor, but she did have a caveat and here it is. he s made this bed and he s got to lie in it. he hasn t his rhetoric has been painful for many in our community and i think that people should stand up and say they re not happy that he s coming. all right. let s get into the great debate. pat, i ll start with you. the idea of the president coming to either of these places and saying, hey, i didn t ever say anything like that. i shouldn t be blamed for any of this. if that s remotely in his mind set of what should be in the messaging, he shouldn t come, right? i m not hearing you, chris. uh-oh.
