Democrats rally on Capitol Hill to circle the wagons for President Biden, but will that support from Congressional Democrats hold?

Episode Transcript

(00:00):
I made clear speak publicly and dayafter the debate that I support President Joe
Biden in a Democratic ticket. Myposition has not changed, but that's Biden
and the Democratic ticket. To supportBiden on the ticket or just Biden and
whatever the ticket is the same answerwe had a very president is working with

(00:25):
us right back, and I havespoken to the President over the weekend.
I have spoken with him extensively.He made clear then and he has made
clear since that he is in thisrace. The matter is closed. He

(00:46):
had reiterated that this morning. Hehas reiterated that to the public, Joe
Biden is our nominee. He isnot leaving this race. He is in
this race and I support him.Oh, I need to start doing like
the tomahawk chop from the Kansas CityChief so the Atlanta Braves, because that
tomahawk RIBI I can taste it dryaged at Shanahan's cook just right medium rare,

(01:08):
and it's just melting in my mouth. Because I'm going to win this
bet with Dan camplss Ryan sholing withyou six point thirty k O text me
at five seven, seven three nine. Start those texts. Ryan. I
was talking with Tom Martino actually alittle crossover promotion here and apparently, according
to Kelly Mark Major also has hoppedon board the chuck Wagon bandwagon for Team

(01:34):
Shooling versus Team Kaplis in this entiredebate and if you're new to the program,
where have you been? But welcomethe vet that Dan and I have.
It's pretty simple and straightforward, andit has been on the books,
I think for almost a calendar year, if I'm not mistaken. That is
my belief is that Joe Biden,despite all the debate woes and infighting amongst

(01:55):
the Democrats, and the clear cognitivedecline and all these things working against him,
he will remain at the top ofthe ticket as the Democrat nominee for
President of the United States in thetwenty twenty four campaign. Dan has maintained
and to his credit, I don'tknow that anyone had a take earlier than

(02:16):
Dan that Joe Biden would be outof the race at some point. Now
he did claim it would be Ithink as early as Labor Day last year,
and we've been having this discussion eversince. Dan's fear, and it's
a worthwhile fear. And Roger Stoneactually was the first one I said that

(02:38):
I heard say this other than Dan, was that Michelle Obama would compare a
shooting in and be the savior forthe Democrats in all of America to stop
the existential threat to democracy. ThatDonald Trump is orange hitler, orange man,
bad fascism, you know, that, which all of us support on

(03:00):
our side. You know, weare pro fascists. That's what we want.
We want a total totalitarian rule byDonald Trump. That's what we support.
I mean, that's what That's thecartoon caricature that the left has painted
of us. And it's insulting.It is designed to be, and it's
condescending, and it's simple minded,and it's in the shallow end of the

(03:22):
intellectual pool. But that's how weare perceived, even though that's completely false.
I would not support Donald Trump ifI viewed him as a fascist,
talitarian dictator. They've taken his jokewith Sean Hannity, who is a tool
who I do not like very much, who interrupts way too much during his

(03:43):
guest interviews, but he still getsthe big interviews like Donald Trump last night.
So I gotta watch Hannity if Iwant to see Trump for some reason,
I don't know, But anyway,Trump had a little fun with Hannity
because he knew Sean was getting realuptight, and you know he is.
Look, I'm going to be adictator, but only on day one.
Only on day one. I'm goingto close the border and drill, baby,

(04:04):
drill, and then I'm not adictator anymore. That was a joke.
Most of us who are not insane, who do not suffer from Trump
derangement syndrome, we got that joke, and the media ran with it.
Kamala Harris, Joe Biden, they'rerunning with said he's going to be a
dictator. Yeah, right, hesaid he was going to be a dictic.

(04:24):
Come on it, either develop achip that allows you to have a
sense of humor or go on therest of your lives being these sad human
beings that apparently so many on theleft are. But what came out of
today, and this is from theHill. Yeah, Congressional members of the
House and of the Senate. Theyreconvened and will be joined in five minutes

(04:45):
by a newly minted congressional Representative,Greg Lopez for the fourth district here in
Colorado, a significant upgrade from hispredecessor. The departing ken Buck, who
abandoned and peaced out all of hisconstituents that supported him, that raised money
for him, that door knocked forhim, that campaigned for him. Nah,

(05:09):
I'm out of here. I'm sickof it. I can't serve out
the rest of this term. Yeah. Anyway, Greg Lopez will serve out
the rest of that term, andhe'll do it I think in a manner
that will make all of you inthe fourth Congressional District proud. And we
look forward to that conversation. ButGreg was sworn in last night. He
is now immersed in the chaos ofCapitol Hill and all of it right now

(05:30):
coming from the left. So themembers of the Democratic Caucus and the House
got together, the members of theDemocrats and the Senate got together, and
what they emerged with this reporting fromMike Willis and Michael Schnell in The Hill
headline, Democrats back Biden in lopsidedinternal debate. So they are attempting to

(05:51):
save face. They are attempting topresent a unified front, at least publicly
outwardly, and they are prepared itappears to go down with the ship.
And that is what Joe Biden is. Make no mistake. He is Captain
Smith. The Democrats are the Titanicand they are heading to the bottom of

(06:12):
the ocean floor. They are goingto lose, and they're going to lose
bigley, and I think that theyknow it. But there's a problem.
As I explained to my colleague RobDawson in the newsroom here, there are
no moves left on the chessboard forthe Democrats that make any sense whatsoever,
that are winning moves. If youplay chess, or even if you don't,
the way I would explain it is, you get so far into a

(06:35):
game against an opponent, and maybeyou made some bad moves, and you
cost yourself some pieces, some valuablepieces from the board. You reach a
point where you resign. You simplyfold down your king. You know you're
going to lose. It's over andthere's no coming back from it. I
believe the Democrats are at the pointof no return, and further to that

(06:59):
point, I believe if they knowthey're at the point and beyond the point
of no return, well, he'sa joining us a little bit early.
Let's go to him right now,because he's there in Washington, DC,
on Capitol Hill. And I believeI might be the first to introduce him
to the Denver airwaves as Congressman GregLopez. Greg, Congratulations, welcome back

(07:21):
to the show. Hey, thankyou, Ryan, It's great to be
back. Take us through the feelingsthe emotions of being sworn in last night,
Greg, and just what you're thinkingright now. Well, you know,
Ryan, as you can imagine walkinginto such a pretigious, prestigious hall,
you know, and being on thefloor of the house, it's really

(07:44):
an experience that very few people fullycan embrace. I mean, you're in
not only the capital itself, butyou're surrounded by leaders across the country,
and you know, this is whereall the decision is being made. And
so I was just grateful for theopportunity to be there and be voted by

(08:05):
the good people of the fourth CongressionalDistrict there in Colorado, and I'm looking
forward to doing a good job andrepresenting them and having a strong conservative voice
and making sure that we're doing allthe good things that we need to do
to make sure that the quality oflife for all the people in Colorado are
getting better and better. Representative GregLopez joining us representing the fourth Congressional District

(08:26):
for the rest of this congressional term, and there is turmoil on the Democrat
side right now. Greg, thatyou've been able to see witness firsthand.
I mean, what an unusual circumstancefor you to walk into. And what
I was just talking about was they'vecircled the wagons around Joe Biden. I
think their content or at least resignedto the fact that he is going to

(08:46):
be the nominee. Is that howyou see it? Will he be on
the ticket in November? Well,you know, as far as I know,
you know, there's no Democrat leadershiphas called for a new candidate.
I think we've already kind of discussed, you know, where they're going to
go, and I think you knowit is going to be the same candidate
we've always expected. And I thinkyou know, at the end of the

(09:09):
day, we're going to have anew president and you and I both hope
that that is Donald Trump serving asecond non consecutive term. Representative Greg Lopez,
our guest, Greg, I'm justtrying to see things through your eyes
and ears there and this experience afterbeing sworn in. I'm sure your head
is swimming, so we appreciate yourtime right now. But who are maybe
some of the first members to reachout to you, have a conversation with

(09:33):
you upon being sworn in, andcan you take us through just kind of
the basic levels of those conversations.Well, you know what, all the
conversations. So I'm known as thenew guy up here in capital, you
know, so you know, Hey, you're the new guy, right,
So yeah, that's me, youknow. So you know, really haven't
had an opportunity to sit down andtalk to a lot of people. So

(09:54):
you can imagine, you know,I talked to them more on the on
the floor. They come up andsay hi to me, and they're so
happy that I'm here, and theyreally wish me well. And you know,
again, it's only been less thantwenty four hours, so I think
they're still moving pretty fast, youknow. But I am meeting a lot
of great people, and you know, I'm feeling that, you know,

(10:15):
everybody's excited like I am, tobe a part of history as we go
through this the rest of this onehundred and eighteen Congress, So you know,
I mean some good individuals. Firstorder of business might be the Save
Act GREG that is the Safeguard AmericanVoter Eligibility Act and While the Republicans might
be able to vote this through theHouse and a party line vote, I'm

(10:37):
not sure how it will go inthe Senate, but President Biden has already
issued a statement vowing to veto thisbill, which simply would make sure that
every American citizen who is a citizen, who has proof of identity as a
citizen, has allowed their one vote, and that those who are not citizens
of our country don't vote in ourelections. How can any reasonably minded Democrat

(11:01):
oppose that? But they do,Yes, they do, you know,
and and again when you look atit, I think this is just another
example of our president not being ableto think clearly about the future of what's
going on. I mean, thisis truly about, you know, just
allowing citizens citizens to vote in ourprocess to elect our elected officials. I

(11:24):
mean, this is what democracy isall about. And for anyone to say
that we should allow non citizens tovote in our elections, I think they've
either forgotten the Constitution or perhaps youknow, there's another agenda. But I
think for all of Americans, weall believe very strongly that you must be
a citizen to participate in our electionprocess. Representative Greg Lopez joining us from

(11:48):
Capitol Hill in Washington, d C. So, Greg, I know you're
just kind of being thrown into this, But do you know if that item
is coming up for a vote bythe end of the week or when you
might be participating in that. Well, I can tell you that, you
know, things change very dramatically uphere in Washington. I figured that out
already, But my team is preparingme for a vote, so you know,

(12:11):
I'm looking at a lot of information. Mike Viectations is that there will
be some decision on this before atthe end of this week, but you
never know. But I can tellyou I'll be fully prepared to make a
decision when it's time to catch thevote. Greg, you had told me
before the upon winning this special runoffelection against Tricia Calvareesi, that you would
want to try to maintain as muchcontinuity as possible in the handoff of the

(12:35):
baton from Representative Ken Buck to yourself. Does that translate into a lot of
the same staff if you brought yourown people in, What does that mix
look like? Well, you knowwhat, it's a yes, a no.
It's going to be a hybrid,right, I'm going to maintain a
lot of the institual knowledge that's here, and I am going to bring some
of my own people, you know, to be a part of this team.

(12:58):
But I can tell you you know, I've been I've been making this
decision lightly. I started to workas soon as I knew that I was
going to be on the ballot.You know, I already have a ninety
day accent plan put in place,and so you know, I'm going to
have a solid team not only herein DC, but also back in Colorado,
and we're going to do some greatthings. And I think people are

(13:18):
going to see that. You know, there's a lot that can be done
in six months. For a moment, Greg, I would just like you
to reflect on how far you've comein your political career, and you and
I have discussed this previously, thatthis is really the top level achievement.
That when the biography of Greg Lopezis written, and hopefully it's something other
than Wikipedia, that this detail isgoing to be the one that really jumps

(13:41):
off the page. And when youthink about your life story, your parents'
life story, coming through this withyour wife, your family, what this
means to all of you that youare now Congressman Greg Lopez well, like
you said, you know, it'san honor, and yeah, as I
sit back and think about it,I mean, it is probably the biggest

(14:03):
accomplishment that I've ever done, youknow, not only in my political life,
but just the impact of my family. But Ryan, I will tell
you this, I'm not taking anycredit for where I am today. I
give it all to my Lord andSavior. You know, He's been guiding
me, he's been preparing me,and here I am, and so I'm
going to do the best job thatI can. But I can tell you

(14:24):
that it's a feeling that most peoplewon't ever experience, and it's a feeling
that I'm still trying to fully understand, but I can tell you it's a
good feeling. Representative Greg Lopez joiningus now representing Colorado's fourth congressional district for
the remainder of this term. Youmentioned you had a plan to hit the
ground running. Greg. We talkedabout one of those with the Save Act

(14:45):
that you'll be voting on soon.But what are those other kind of top
line issues if you could identify themfor our listeners, many of whom are
your constituents now, and what youcan promise to them for the remainder of
this term. So it's, likeI said in my remosifying what I'm doing
the opportunity to drest the entire house, and that is, you know what,

(15:07):
I'm coming here with some characteristics thatonly use and that is respect,
collaboration, community, the most importantstationship. I want to make sure that
I come across in a state likemanner what we got together. There's a
lot of issues that I would bebreaking into the table that we're working on

(15:30):
right now. But you know,as for change to my objectives have not
changed. I'm still concerned about thenational debt, you know, as you
know, thirty five trillion dollars andit's going in for fear days. Also
looking at the crisis that's going onin the border. So you know,
just trying to figure out right nowwhere all the pieces are that we can
be exactful. A little bit ofa difficult connection there. So we'll let

(15:52):
you go now. Greg. Wealways appreciate your time, especially with everything
that's been going on in this whirlwindover the last not even twenty four hours.
Best luck in your time remaining herein Congress. I know that there's
no better person for the job,and the task than you. And once
again, congratulations, Thank you,Rian, I really appreciate it. All
right, Representative Greg Lopez right thereyour reaction, especially if you live in

(16:15):
that fourth Congressional district, what youhope you will accomplish. What are the
issues you really want him to digin on along with the other House Republicans
that are important to you, thataffect your everyday lives. And I just
I get really upset when I seesomething like something that should be completely bipartisan.
And I'll talk about this more withRepresentative Lauren Bobert tomorrow. She will

(16:37):
start the show with me. Andwhen I look at this Save Act Safeguard
American voter eligibility, there are onlynefarious reasons to oppose it. There is
nothing legitimate from President Biden or anybodyelse. They make straw man argument saying,
well, if you an act thesemore rigid standards, then it's going
to increase the likelihood that legal Americancitizens won't be able to vote. This

(17:00):
is the same Jim Crow two pointzero scare tactics they used down in Georgia,
which caused Atlanta to lose an AllStar game that came here to Denver,
which was completely erroneous, in whichBrian Kemp, a very sensible,
middle of the road conservative Republican governorof Georgia said, it should be easy
to vote, but hard to cheat. How can anyone oppose that? It's

(17:25):
because they want to rig elections byrigging who gets to vote in those elections
and the more illegals that are allowedinto the process. Here's what Democrats would
have you believe. This is aa party right now of open borders.
They don't want to enforce the bordersof Mexico and the United States. They
don't want to cooperate with ICE agentsin sanctuary cities and sanctuary states like Denver,

(17:51):
like Colorado. They don't want tocoordinate law enforcement with those federal ICE
agents or those border patrol agents tomake sure that people who are in our
country that shouldn't be in our country, are not in our country, are
removed from our country. And themere fact and this is really alarmed people

(18:12):
like Margaret Brennan CBS faced the Nationhost that I believe the figure was sixty
two percent. Sixty three percent ofAmericans favor Donald Trump's proposed policy of mass
deportations, which I also firmly support. If a person who is foreign born

(18:36):
wants to come to this country andwork, they can go through the legal
process. It's not neat, it'snot tidy, it's not as efficient as
it should be. There need tobe reforms, but that's the system that
we have. There is no orthere should not be any license to circumvent
our laws to enter the country illegallyto stay here. And then Democrats say,

(18:56):
oh, Eagles aren't voting, butwe'll give them a voter registration sheet,
have them fill it out, andthen if we determine after they vote
they're illegal, oh, we'll makesure to remove that. Do you trust
them with that? I certainly don'tmuch more to get to in a very
eventful day. Five seven, seven, three ninths, send me your texts.
Are you team Dan or Team Ryan? Is Joe stan or going?

(19:22):
Why? Master Services not just aquestion that I'm asking, It's the question
that's on their website. If yougo to masterrouter dot Plumbing, the answer
is simple. You're gonna get theguaranteed lowest price, the best service available.
The most trained technicians boarded a borderWyoming to New Mexico all points in

to Master Router Dot Plumbing for MasterServices and tell them Ryan sent you wortersip
So's call that is down in thelast twenty four hours. Should Joe Biden

(20:30):
leave the presidential race after the debate? Look overall, yeah, the majority
of Americans fifty six percent say yeahhe should leave the race. But look
among Democrats, this is Joe Biden'sface. This is why he is the
president. They nominated him back intwenty twenty they nominated him again in twenty
twenty four. Sixty six percent ofDemocrats say no, he should not leave
the race. And of course it'sgoing to be these Democratic voters who put

(20:52):
the pressure on their members of Congress, their governors, the elected officials,
party actors to try and get Bidenthe lead. At this particular point point,
though, the Democratic activists are notnecessarily going to put the pressure on
Joe Biden, because the fact ofthe matter is most Democratic voters, two
thirds of them, want Joe Bidento stay in this race. They don't
want him to quick Kate I Leavin, he's the Wolf of Wall Street.

(21:15):
Leo DiCaprio, that famous scene atthe meeting where he was going to leave
the company and then he changes hismind. He tells all of his faithful
employees not going anywhere. They're goingto need a tank to any says some
swear words, but bottom line iswhat you just heard there from Harry Inton
CNN. Sixty six percent of Democratswant Joe to stay in the race.

(21:41):
Now, there was a primary,it was a rigged primary. They moved
unprecedentedally South Carolina ahead of Iowa,ahead of New Hampshire, because that was
a more favorable state for Joe Biden. It's the state that really launched him,
catapulted him into the nomination back intwenty It's the state where Representative Jim

(22:02):
Clyburn offered his endorsement that tipped thescales in Joe Biden's favor, and particularly
in the South with southern black Democratvoters. And they also ran kind of
an opposition campaign the Democratic Party.How the Democratic Party is run, I'm
talking like DNC is much different thanthe RNC, And I've got my problems

(22:26):
with the RNC, but the DNCis much more smoking mirrors, back room
deals, cigar chomp, and oldschool Tammany Hall type Democrats. If you
notice those political machines of yesteryear,like Heuey Long down in Louisiana, do
you notice they're all Democrat machines,right, Tammany Hall and all that.

(22:49):
But in this instance, you rememberin twenty sixteen, super delegates came into
play. What are super delegates?Well, those are better than delegates,
and they're better than you. Thereis a real hierarchy within the Democratic Party
of the haves and the have nots, of the bourgeoisie and the proletariat Democrats,

(23:10):
they don't like you. Anybody remainingwho is a working class Democrat,
you are being fooled. And Iwish I could say this directly to all
of my friends back home in Michiganwho are members of the United Autoworkers,
who are hard working, blue collarworking class, that the leader of their

(23:30):
union, of course, is inthe tank for Joe Biden the Democratic Party,
and they always have been. Buthow does that benefit the individual workers?
It doesn't. Once the working classfigures that out, and I believe
largely they have. The Democratic Partyhas a losing formula because they cannot string
together a coalition anymore that is reliantupon the Barack Obama coalition that was successful

(23:52):
twice over in twenty eight and twentytwelve, and you could argue, to
a certain extent once again in twentytwenty that's gone black. Support for Joe
Biden has plummeted. But the DemocraticParty had a primary, and you had
Representative Dean Phillips Minnesota, and youhave the krazyan Koohyba somewhat charming a Marian
Williamson from California and her wacky ways. I want to sell love and that

(24:18):
was not a race. That's arig race. So let's call it what
it is. Even the Democrats wouldacknowledge that. But Joe Biden got like
eighty five percent of the delegates,if not more. They are pledged to
him. He wants to stay in. The polling shows two thirds of Democrats
want him to stay in. Showme how this changes. Course, it
doesn't. It just doesn't. Andtoday that was cemented by support for Joe

(24:44):
Biden on Capitol Hill. This fromRepresentative Stephen Lynch Dum Massachusetts. I feel
we've hit a turning point, asthe President said, I think yesterday it's
been ten eleven days or so sincethe debate, and it's time to move
on. And I think I thinkthat's where many more members are today than
they were last week. Representative JimClyburn, the aforementioned out of South Carolina

(25:07):
said, quote, we're riding withBiden, all right. This is like
saying when Joe Biden said I hadone bad night that you know, a
quarterback had one bad night in theNFC championship game and there's only a super
Bowl left that's the election. Butoh he had a great practice after that.

(25:29):
Well, who cares? He lostin the NFC Championship game. Joe
Biden lost on the biggest stage he'sgonna get between now and the election.
He lost. He got throttled.Nobody with a brain that's saying is arguing
that Joe Biden won or even battledto a draw in that debate. He
got clobbered when it mattered most,when the money was on the line,

(25:52):
when the spotlights were all on,and when the viewers were tuned in,
when the voters were tuned in.I'm talking load of medium information voters like,
oh no, well I watched thedebate. What did they see a
withered old man, crestfallen, grayashen in his appearance against the robust,

(26:14):
energetic orange man who was just clabberinghim up against the ropes. Oh,
we beat Medicare Lee. He didbeat it. He beat it to death.
I mean, Trump just had haymakerscoming left and right for Joe Biden,
and he was on point, andhe was on message, and he
kept hammering the border. And Imean Donald Trump wasn't perfect by any stretch,

(26:36):
but compared to Joe Biden, hewas clearly the superior choice on every
level. But the Democrats they're in. They're all in on Joe Biden.
I just don't see how I losethis bet. But maybe you disagree.
Maybe you're with team Dan on thisone. There was a very good text
and I had to go back forit, but it stuck out to me
yesterday and it said, if Bidenwas so sick at the debate, why

(27:00):
was he at waffle house and outuntil two am after the debate. I
don't have an answer for you,because that's one of the many excuses we
were offered as to why Biden's performanceslowed and was underachieving during the debate,
that he had a cold. Well, if he had a cold and he's
old and he's sick, great question, Why is he out until two am

(27:22):
at waffle house? That doesn't makeany sense. Biden also claimed, if
you'll remember this is recent in theinterview with George Stefanopolois, donald Trump kept
yelling over me. That didn't happenat all. In fact, Donald Trump
was disciplined in his debate approach,and he let Biden hang himself with his
own rope, and he didn't interrupton purpose. That was a strategy.

(27:45):
It was effective. All Donald Trumpdid when Biden started to trail off,
and of course it happened more thanonce. Was glance over at Joe.
You remember that, just a smalllook like you know, what's wrong with
that guy. The only time therewas ever any cross talked to my recollection,
and maybe you can correct me,was when they were talking about the
respective golf games. It's like,oh yeah, sure, six handicap,

(28:07):
No way now that the thing thatbothered Trump the most was Biden lying about
his golf game. You gotta carryyour own bags, Yeah, Joe,
I'm sure you can carry your ownbags. Let's not do that. Patty
with this text before we go tobreak, and I'll get to more after
the break. Ryan, I've neverunderstood the appeal to Michelle Obama. I

(28:29):
watched Hillary give a speech at theDemocratic Convention. When Obama first ran,
the camera cut to Michelle several times. During Hillary's speech, if Lukes could
kill Hillary would be dead. Michellegave up a nasty vibe. Later,
Michelle was going to be a specialguest on a show on the Food Network.
I watched out of curiosity. Theykept hyping her appearance during the show,

(28:51):
a show with live audience, andwhen Michelle appeared, there was no
audience. She gave off a vibeof I wish I wasn't here. She
had no grace, no warmth,zero personality. I've never gotten a good
vibe from her, cold des ice. Further that point, I think she's
immensely overrated, and I don't evenknow that she would challenge that. Michelle
Obama isn't really a political animal.This is not in her blood, it's

(29:11):
not in her bones, it's notin her heart. She doesn't want to
run. And this is according toher own words, but also anecdotal evidence.
Dan Bongino has talked about it.He was on the security detail as
a member of the secret service forthe Obama family, and he said Michelle
Obama could not stand it, thelife of being a political life. So

(29:32):
why would she give up the touring, the going to the sold out arenas
and stadiums, and the lauds andplatitudes that she's getting her book tours,
the money that's rolling in, allthe positive accolades of staying out of the
political arena. Why would she immerseherself back into that zoo with four months

(29:52):
to go in a campaign that's setup to fail. Even if she might
be the best option. Why wouldshe he put her legacy at stake like
that She shouldn't. She won't.And if she has people close to her
that are giving her good advice,they're gonna tell her to run for the
hills, like don't go anywhere nearthis disaster area. Joe Biden is they're

(30:12):
pot committed on him right now withless than four months to go to the
election. And I just can't believethat they're going to try to switch horses
and ride at this point. It'llonly get worse. And I'll tell you
a pull that just came out thattells us why more of your texts to
five seven, seven three nine startthem Ryan, Ryan schuling with you here
on six p thirty k O andnow deep thoughts by Vice President Kamala Harris.

(30:45):
But in your plan, eventually everyonewould be taken off the private plan
that their company currently has. Yeah, there's no question I'm in favor of
banning fracking. Do you ban plusextras? And I should? Yes.
I am prepared to get rid ofthe filibuster to pass a green new deal

(31:07):
on day one. We're going torepeal that tax built but we've got to
increase the corporate tax right and alsolooking at a stay text is you're going
to have to go up and undermy plan there will also be a carbon
fee. So I decided I wasgoing to start prosecuting parents for truancy.

(31:29):
Oh dear God, I mean youtalk about an authoritarian everything you just heard
she said it. She submarined herown campaign going back to twenty twenty,
and then Tulsa Gabbard incinerated her onstage. It was a beautiful thing to
watch. I fell in love withTulsi that night. But she's married and

(31:51):
she's taken, so she's not available. Ryan Shulding back with you five seven,
seven, three nine. Start thosetexts, Ryan, and why I
come back with deep thoughts by VicePresident Kamala Harris. I mean, you
want to talk about something that iscompletely out of their depth, it would
be her. She's not ready forprime time, not even close. I
mean, Michelle Obama at least hasI think a reasonable understanding and grasp on

(32:15):
issues, and you know, anapproach that would be largely I think,
catastrophic and destructive for the United States, but at least has an ethos of
some kind. Kamala Harris is achameleon of epic proportions. I don't know
that she has a central ethos toher belief system other than it's whatever seems

(32:37):
to sound good at the time andwhatever audience that she's talking to. And
as you just heard those policies,I mean, you're gonna have to increase
the income tax, both the federaland the state income tax, or need
to arrest to parents for truancy.All of these are just again it's sheer
projection. We will be a freersociety than ever if Donald Trump reassumes off

(33:00):
the Democratic Party and having their thumbson the scales and having their noses in
everybody's business literally business, the regulations, This will be off the charts in
a Biden's second term, that whichwill turn into a Kamala Harris first term
because he's not going to serve fouryears. If he does win, he
won't win, But if he doeswin, and then we're really going to

(33:21):
see things go off the rails.But the latest polling here is the word
of warning I would offer for anyDemocrat so called elite or you know,
think tank, somebody that thinks theyknow better than the voters. And I'm
not saying again that Joe Biden's agreat choice. But just when you think
things are bad, just remember theycan always be worse, and they would

(33:44):
get worse. According to this Emersonpoll just released, in a five way
race including RFK Junior, Jill Stein, Cornell West, national popular vote favors
Trump by four. That's even morethan in the head to head if it
was just Trump and Biden those two. It's Trump plus three nationally over Joe
Biden. And that fits with theReal Clear Politics average. The rolling average

(34:07):
has Trump currently up three point threepoints. But when you sub in these
other candidates, same poll, samesample size, same people questioned, the
three point lead for Trump increases twosix When it's Kamala Harris instead of Biden
Trump forty nine, Harris forty three, Gavin Newsom, it gets even worse.

(34:30):
Trump plus eight, Trump forty eight, Newsom forty, Gretchen Whitmer,
the esteemed governor of my home stateof Michigan, Trump plus ten forty eight
thirty eight. Name me the personthat you can parachute in. Who's going
to have the ground game with lessthan four months to go, to do

(34:52):
the door knocking, to make thephone calls, to budget for the ads.
If it's not Kamala Harris, theygot a reun raise all of that
money. Then the spending begins.The name idea and recognition for Gretchen Whitmer,
Gavin Newsom, not as well knownas Joe Biden. That has to
begin what we've seen. If youwatch Jesse Waters primetime, when Johnny goes

(35:14):
out on the street, half thepeople he asks about Kamala Harris don't even
know who she is, let alonehave enough information to formulate an opinion about
her. You can't buy name id, you can't buy earned media the way
that Trump has masterfully demonstrated over theselast eight plus years. And this is

(35:35):
a sinking ship that is taking onwater and it's only gonna get worse if
they try to kind of execute themental gymnastics of ousting Biden. He's sticking
around, and so should you backwith more after this? On six point
thirty K how
