I got to ask you about this look at who Vegas odds makers are saying have the best chances of being elected this fall Trump is a five to6 shot it's better than even Biden 15 to8 a little better than 2:1 next in line Michelle Obama 11 to1 ahead of Nikki Haley Gavin Newsome Robert F Kennedy Jr and KLA Harris I don't know about you David I've got people in my Orbit and my radio listeners say the same thing there's like always a family member who says in my case it's my brother keep your eye on Michelle Obama and I say that is crazy what should we be saying about Michelle Obama well here's what I know uh Michelle Obama Obama loves this country she's she's a a brilliant person and a brilliant communicator but she was a conscript to politics she never was interested in a political life even when uh uh Barack Obama was a young politician uh she really didn't participate much in his campaigns I I was with him in his Senate campaign in 2004 I think she showed up twice uh in the whole campaign uh on Election nights so uh you know she uh she is not someone who likes politics she doesn't like the tone and tenor of politics uh and I would be floored if she would uh consent to that they feel that they gave 10 years of their life to this and I'm sure she feels as Barbara Bush did when she said there has to be someone other than the bushes and the clintons who could be president
