Okay, seven twenty one has promisednow more news or more analysis of the
breaking news of the coup that hastaken Joe Biden's re election campaign from him
and fourteen million Democrat voters. PeteSeed is a political analyst former White House
spokesperson under GW. Bush. PeGood morning, good morning for you.
Do you buy that Joe Biden isbehind and supportive of this suspension of his
(00:23):
campaign or did they do this withouthis approval? Because he did not issue
any kind of a statement directly,He did not go on video. This
is something that was typed up,probably not by him. Do you think
he actually supports this decision? Well, it would certainly be normal for staff
to type up something to draft thisstatement, even one of this magnitude.
(00:48):
And I'm of the belief, Iknow that there's some skepticism out there,
but I'm of the belief that thiswas just a stubborn individual, someone who
has been in public service for fiftyodd years, who just could not fathom
relinquishing power and control. And ontop of that, the people who surround
(01:11):
him, they did not want torelinquish control. These are people who have
been at his side for thirty years. Who finally made it to the pinnacle
of politics, and they didn't wantto let go of what they finally achieved.
And I think that's why they weregiving him this rosy news along the
way that yeah, yeah, yeah, there's still a path, there's still
(01:33):
a path, when every other Americanknew there was absolutely no path for him
to win. And yeah, KamalaHarris has been complicit in all of this
cover up all the way through,and now all of a sudden she's a
shining star banner carrier. What's thatall about. Yeah, well, a
shining star, I don't know aboutthat. I mean, look, Kamala
Harris couldn't even get traction when sheherself was running for president in twenty twenty.
(01:57):
She had a colossal aster of acampaign. She's been entirely behind the
scenes and out of the spotlight.As Vice president, he's been the borders
are an issue you all know prettywell being where you're situated, and look
at how that has turned out withKamala Harris at the head of that.
But I will say this, Iwant to say this to all my friends
(02:20):
on the Republican side of the aisle. You cannot be complacent Kamala Harris,
and I would you could put anyother name in there. Kamala Harris is
formidable insofar as she is not JoeBiden. Anyone is better than Joe Biden.
Do you believe that, Jill,Because you mentioned so many of the
people who did not want to relinquishpower. Is Jill Biden at the head
(02:44):
of that list? And again,she has been conspicuous by her silence since
the statement released on Twitter yesterday.I don't know. I've heard a lot
of comparisons to Edith Wilson. Ofcourse, Woodrow Wilson was bedridden for the
last I think eighteen months of hispresidency, and his wife was really running
the show. There are certainly alot of questions and we don't have nearly
(03:07):
enough answers about what's actually been happeninginside the White House, who's in control,
who's running the operation? And Icould see the first lady pushing her
husband to stick it out, Buthowever, the decision was made. It
was ultimately made, and now Republicansneed to focus on the next nominee,
(03:30):
who likely will be Kamala Harris.So what about Americans? Americas deserve to
know who's running the country and we'renot being told. Apparently it's the polit
bureau. You know, we nowhave a party, we have a cabal
has been running the country all thesemonths, and they have just stepped right
in in order to force a presidentout of office. Well, I think
(03:53):
the polling is what forced the presidentout of office, the fact that his
disastrous policies have led to historically lowapproval ratings. You look at the issues
that matter most to the American people, like the economy and inflation and immigration,
and where is Joe Biden. Heis completely underwater. He's at the
(04:15):
bottom of the ocean on all ofthese issues, whereas Donald Trump is viewed
favorably on those top tier issues.So again I fall in the camp of
I think he finally saw the lightand finally realize, hey, there's no
path forward. I also want topoint out real quick, look at folks
like Shared Brown in Ohio and JohnTester and Montana who are incredibly in incredibly
(04:42):
competitive re election campaigns, and theycalled on Joe Biden to withdraw. Why.
I don't think it's because they weretrying to pressure him. It's because
of political survival. They were tryingto save themselves. They saw the ship
sinking and they did not want tobe a board when it went down.
So you're saying that the president stillhas full control of the nuclear codes.
(05:10):
I'm not there, so I can'ttell you what's going on. But look,
I've been in a White House.I know there are a lot of
checks and balances within the building.I know the people who actually hold the
nuclear football and they are top notchquality human beings, and they are going
(05:30):
to make sure whoever is in controlthat nothing bad is going to happen.
Well, we're going to keep ourfingers crossed on that. Pete Seed has
been in the White House. WhiteHouse spokesperson under President Bush. Pete,
thanks for the analysis. We appreciatethat, sir. Thanks, I have
a good one
