I'm sorry. I just got to stop
it. Thank
you. OK.
Pino, appreciate, please.
What was your reaction when you heard that Donald Trump
was found guilty on all
34 counts? I wasn't surprised.
See, I was very surprised because not
I don't think that any of us believe that
he would be held responsible.
I was not surprised, but I am disappointed.
Given that Donald Trump is now a convicted felon,
do you think you could still vote for him?
I'm disappointed. But when you weigh the two candidates,
I'm not thrilled with either one of them.
To tell you the truth,
I'm really not. But I do like a lot of
what Trump did during his presidency,
so I may be leaning in that direction.
Yes, I agree with you on that.
When Trump was in office,
my business, it was thriving.
I'm talking about quadruple sales.
I mean, the business really,
really thrived when he was in office.
And since Biden has been in office,
I mean, I'm always one step from closing my doors.
You know, I'm not concerned about whether he's a felon
or not.
You know, it's like, is he going to be good
for me and my business?
It's really kind of crazy that we are at this
point when we are considering voting for a family.
I know like who would have thought that kind of
exed him out for me?
But I am still leaning towards maybe a third party.
What is the moment that you all are waiting for
to decide?
I mean, when will you know when you see it?
When will you feel it?
That's tough. You really can't put a time on it.
I mean, I think as you get closer,
it's that gut feeling. I can't put a time frame
on it.
There are a lot of things that I worry about
with Biden.
Inflation bothers me. His cognitive ability bothers me,
his foreign policy. So I mean,
to me, those are negatives when it comes to him.
I just got to weigh it all.
You know, you're considering a third party.
I am. I think the debates are really going to
help me with.
We need those who I'm going to decide on.
You have eight children. I do.
When you think about Donald Trump in office and character,
does that weigh into your decision?
Absolutely. I think that that's probably the biggest determinate factor
for me is when I teach my children to be
kind.
I mean, I've got to say Trump can be abrasive,
extremely abrasive. I know that.
But yet I
when it comes down to the bottom line of what
he's he did for the country during his term,
I still feel good about that.
Trump and his allies have continued to call this verdict
political persecution.
They say that the the whole thing,
the whole trial was rigged.
I don't feel like it was rigged.
You know, at the end of the day,
there's an old saying, you know,
the chickens that have to come home to roost.
What about, you know, the two of you as Republicans?
I mean, he was convicted in the same way a
jury convicts people around the country every day.
No, I don't think it was rigged.
I think it was set up.
Well, the timing of it,
to me, it's just, you know,
I can't help but think,
isn't that sort of odd that they would do this
right now?
Now is the perfect time
because of the election coming up.
I think she's right. She said the perfect time for
who?
Just keep in mind that this is the same Department
of Justice that is now prosecuting Hunter Biden,
the Democratic president's son. If you have enough power,
you can wilt anything. We'd be foolish to think otherwise.
Does the charges that Hunter Biden is facing and the
troubles he's facing legally,
does that give you pause when it comes to voting
for Joe Biden?
No, no,
I think about people like you who are who,
who are, you know, independent or undecided or leaning
and just not sure. And then you have this guilty
verdict.
I don't think it's going to hurt him at all.
This will push his supporters even further in his corner
because Trump supporters are staunch supporters.
They don't care what this fan does.
I can see people who would be interested in a
third party completely writing him off as a result of
it.
A lot of Trump supporters,
I think they are having to sit with themselves and
really think,
would I really want someone who's been on trial for
this to represent me?
Should he drop out as a convicted felon?
He should, but he's not going to.
People make mistakes in their life and that that thing
doesn't define who they are as a complete individual.
So should him being convicted
make him drop out? I would say no.
How many of you think Donald Trump should go to
jail?
Two. OK. If you look at
others who've been convicted of the same felony,
right, Very few. The low percentage have actually served time.
I cannot feel good about saying yes or no.
I wish he had shown remorse.
Yes.
