Mike Gleason: It is my privilege now to welcome in Michael Rivero, founder and editor of WhatReallyHappened.com. Michael is a prolific commentator on geopolitics, financial markets, and many other topics, and also hosts a daily radio show where he comments about it all.
Michael, it’s always great to have you with us. How are you?
Michael Rivero: I’m doing fine. Thank you very much for having me back on the show.
Mike Gleason: Well I’m sure you’ve been enjoying all of the political theater like we have these last couple of weeks and I’ll start off by getting your comments on the silly season that is now fully upon us. We had the Republican Convention last week and now the Democrat Convention. It’s certainly provided some fabulous entertainment. There’s never been candidates or campaigns quite like what we have this year. What are some of the key takeaways between, let’s say, what we saw last week in Cleveland versus what we’re seeing this week in Philadelphia, Michael? Aside from the obvious, did you notice any major differences between the two conventions or did you take note of any particular themes, et cetera?
Michael Rivero: Well obviously one of the major differences is that the Democratic Convention was dealt that hammer blow by WikiLeaks data dump of the internal DNC emails. And that really did throw the entire affair into chaos. I think what the American people are waking up to, looking at both conventions, we saw the party machines fully on display trying to overturn the will of the voters in terms of the selection of the candidates. At the Republican Convention there was a last-ditch effort to find some way to unbind the delegates so they could vote for somebody outside of Donald Trump. That was defeated. And over on the Democratic side the revelations from the DNC emails is that, yes, in point of fact, the Democratic Party machine was pro-Hillary, anti-Bernie Sanders. They’re supposed to be unbiased. The scandal was so big it led to the resignation of Debbie Wasserman Schultz, who is the chair of the DNC, whereupon she was immediately hired by Hillary to manage the voter outreach for Hillary’s campaign for all 50 states. Which is kind of weird because Hillary Clinton did an interview on 60 Minutes in which she actually stated on camera she had no idea the Democratic Party was engaging in all of these shenanigans against Bernie Sanders, but of course, if it was real shock to her then why did she give Debbie Wasserman Schultz that job.
