All right, as promised, DoctorRobin Armstrong, RNC committee in joining us
(00:03):
now with reaction and analysis. Robin, good morning, Good morning. How
are you. We're doing all right. We're all trying to process this now.
Share has raised a really interesting questionthis morning, and that is,
why have we still not heard anythingfrom the mouth of Joe Biden. The
only thing we have seen is atweet that contained the picture of a letter
saying I'm out, and then asecond tweet saying, by the way,
(00:25):
I endorse Kamala. What are youreading from that? Dr Armstrong? Well,
I think that he's probably not preparedto make a statement. Maybe physically
he's not prepared. Mentally he's notprepared to make a statement, you know,
or you know, maybe some ofhis handlers are pushing this and he's
not involved at all. You know. I think it's unfortunate how they have
(00:47):
handled Joe Biden over the last fewmonths and years. It's just shameful,
and so it leads us to makethese speculations that maybe he's not involved in
this decision at all. We don'treally know how many decisions he's been involved
in because of his cognitive state,and so we questioned that, So I
don't know what to make of it. I think there's a chance that he
(01:10):
doesn't even know what decision he's made, or he hasn't been told, you
know, what decision has been madeabout this whole thing is shameful. But
we need to know. He needsto speak today or tomorrow at the latest.
Instead, we're being told that KamalaHarris probably will, while Kamala Harris
is not enjoying the endorsement yet ofChuck Schumer, the leader of the Senate,
(01:33):
nor Nancy Pelosi, who basically isquietly still running the Democrats in the
House, nor President Obama, theformer president. So this uncertainty and the
lack of transparency, this is justshameful. Beyond that, it cannot possibly
be constitutional, right, it isshameful, But the Democrats have no shame
(01:59):
at all. Uh, the waythey've handled this entire process. You know,
we we we don't even know thatthey're going to accept Kamala Harris.
It's what it is. It's chaos. And I believe the Democrats. They
they they they love chaos because they'rethey're not a constitutional party. They are
they they fly by the seat oftheir pants. They make decisions. They've
(02:22):
got a president who they've been makingdecisions for the last few years, and
so it's just really, really shamefulthat they care so little about the Democrat
process that they've allowed us to goon like this for so long. They
have known that that Joe Biden isis cognitive coosnitively has deficits. They know
that he's been demented over the lastfew years. They haven't said anything about
(02:46):
it. Well, this is abouthis power for them all. It all.
It's about his power. They wantto make sure they maintain power,
and so they're willing to take someoneit has nothing to do with his cognitive
state. So they care a littleabout the country. They can more about
their power. The only reason they'repushing him out is because he's going to
lose in November. He was goingto lose in November. That's the only
(03:06):
reason why. Well, doctor Armstrong, you know. As recently as Saturday,
Joe Biden's Twitter account said, quote, it's a miracle, folks.
Donald Trump told the truth for once. It's the most important election of our
lifetimes, and I will win it. He said that, or at least
his team put that out under hisTwitter on Saturday yesterday morning. As we
know, Cedric Richmond campaign co chairsaid, he is in it. He's
(03:28):
going to be the nominee. He'sgoing to be the guy. We're not
stopping anything. So, I mean, is it really possible they set all
of these people out with red herringsor did they literally not know? Is
there that much dysfunction between campaign andparty that some of the Donald Trump surrogates
and those who are working on hisbehalf or excuse me, Joe Biden surrogates
and people working on his behalf didnot know that they were forcing him out.
(03:53):
Well, I believe that that thatthe moral likely they didn't know.
They said that Joe Biden changed hismind. They said his communications director as
well, I mean not his communicatingbut they sent out his campaign manager,
who they never sent out. You'venever seen her face. She came out
yesterday, was on the Saturday onSunday morning shows telling us that he was
still in the race, and soI thought he was still there on on
(04:15):
Saturday evening and then all of asudden he pulls out on Sunday. I
believe that the Democrat Party is anabsolute chaos. They're self destructing before our
eyes. Right now, and Ihope that the American people make them pay
in November. Because of the lackof transparency, the lies, the everything
that's happened in the last few weeks, I believe that they should be punished
(04:39):
in December. I'm hoping that thiswill be a Donald Trump landslide and we
get this horrible time in American historyover with. We don't know what's going
to happen. I think Chicago isgoing to be like nineteen sixty eight.
They're likely going to have riots overthe Middle East issue, and so I
believe it's going to be very chaoticconvention that they're going to be contested.
(04:59):
It's going to be open where they'regonna have multiple candidates in It sounds like
Joe Manton's trying to get into therace, and so I think it's gonna
be chaofs on their side for quitesome time. And we just have to
just just ride or ride or diewith Donald Trump. That's what's gonna happen.
We're gonna have to elect him inan overwhelming landslide in November. Last
thirty seconds here, doctor Robin Armstrong. We haven't heard from the chief spokesperson
(05:21):
for Joe Biden over the course ofthe last couple of weeks. And that's
Jill not a word. From whatI understand, she has been his defender,
she has been his his spokesperson.Why have we not heard from her?
You know, there's a lot ofthere's a lot of turmoil in this
camp right now. I imagine Jilland Hunter and not very happy that this
decision has been made for Joe.And I've said it that way purposely though.
(05:45):
This decision has been made for JoeBiden because he cannot win, and
so I'm sure they're not very happyabout it, and so I would like
to hear from them to get theirtake. Younger that some parents this doctor
very quickly, Younger brother Frank justgoes hell, that's about it, right,
health right? What does that mean? Right? Absolutely? Absolutely,
(06:09):
It's shameful. It's shameful what theBidens are doing, what the Democrat Party
is doing. And as I said, I hope that the American people punishes
them in November for their lack oftransparency. They care more about their power
than they do about the country,that's clear. And so I think that
that the electoral map on a fabrush Trian ministy should be a landslide election
(06:30):
in November because of their lack oftransparency, because they're because of their irresponsibility.
Well, they're going to pay aprice. The fact is they have
Kamala Harris potentially as their nominee.So that is a price enough. Remember
she was two percent in the Democratprimaries four years ago. Doctor Robin Armstrong,
RNC committee man, thank you verymuch, doctor, thank you.
