MARK SIMONE (GUEST HOST): Despite all the tweeting and the tone or whatever you don’t like, it’s a pretty traditional presidency. In many ways just very traditional, it’s a return to sort of an Eisenhower kind of a presidency.

Mayor Pete, yeah you know what, he’s got talent as a candidate he’ll be a good candidate in 2024, 2028. But the problem with Mayor Pete, too gimmicky. You know, he’s got this fake military experience, which isn’t real. I don’t know how long he’s going to get away with that. He was the mayor of South Bend. He had a lot of clout with the local Army Reserve and he had them arrange for him to take a desk job on a base in Afghanistan. So for a few months he sat at a desk on a base, that’s all he did. No military combat, anything. Anything. That’s why he cannot produce a picture of himself in uniform in Afghanistan. There’s one, but never with a helmet on, you know, military guys will tell you, “You don’t have a helmet on, you’re not in any danger wherever you’re standing." There’s one picture of him in full military garb, but I checked into it it’s taken at the airport in South Bend. So, it’s fake military experience.
