financing experts cable TV talkers
talked about the race tell them it ain't
over man we're just getting started our
votes count - you know those cable TV
dunkers anyway Joe Biden is hoping to
revive his campaign by going after cable
TV talkers no no but it South Carolina
at least he hopes to say I could change
this around this is a state I can
changing around in former South Carolina
congressman trey Gowdy congressman
always great having you what do you
think it is argument that there's any
state where he could turn it around it's
South Carolina it depends on what he
means about turn it around if he means
don't come in dead last yes there's a
chance so I think people in South
Carolina remember him fondly you know
Neil he eulogized Strom Thurmond and a
political environment where not everyone
would have done that when senator
Thurmond passed away he is liked here
but he's built his campaign on a
platform of electability and and that
facade has been exposed in Iowa and New
Hampshire and I don't think he's gonna
win South Carolina and if history is any
indicator no one is finished where he
finished in Iowa and New Hampshire and
gone on to be the nominee he'll do
better but he won't win and I don't
think he was gonna be the nominee
so this quest for the african-american
vote you know you've had the argument
and being look Democrats have had these
lily-white states Iowa New Hampshire
this is real indicative of the
Democratic base in South Carolina
that's tailor-made for him so you're
arguably doesn't do well doesn't win
there he's pretty much finished
I think he's finished no matter what
historically no one has finished where
he finished in the two other states and
gone on to be the nominee
I do think after african-american voters
are a big constituency within the
Democrat Party I looked at the last
debate stage maybe I missed the
candidates of color I don't see any so
the question is going to be do they
reward his loyalty to President Obama or
do they go with their hearts and it's
hard for Joe Biden to make the argument
that anyone is passionate about him
because of his ideas it's all about
electability
if that facades exposed then you got to
look somewhere else
you know you might be right about that
developed Patrick the latest candidate
to take himself out of the race suspend
his campaign of course the former
governor of Massachusetts
african-american what is your sense of
what will propel this race
you always hear congressman it's Donald
Trump's to lose and the only one who
could screw it up for Donald Trump is
Donald Trump and so when you hear this
talk about him praising Bill bar for
taking control of Roger stone case
Democrats seize on stuff like that to
say AHA he's at it again what do you say
I just find that so barely ironic I'm
gonna go back to the Democrat debate
stage where they are blasting Kamala
Harris and they are blasting Amy
Klobuchar and they're even blasting
mayor P because God forbid
two of them were prosecutors and may
have put a couple of people in jail and
now they found somebody that they think
ought to receive essentially a life
sentence for a non-violent crime so I
just can't get over the irony that the
Democrats have finally found someone
that they think ought to be subjected to
a long period of incarceration
presidents don't sentence people kneel
prosecutors don't send his people the
judge does and this judge heard every
syllable of this trial it was a trial he
was convicted he lost he should get an
active prison sentence whether or not I
should be nine years or not that is more
Neal than any child pornographer I ever
prosecuted as a federal prosecutor nine
years is a long time for lying to a
member of Congress you should be
punished there's no question about that
but we have to have some proportionality
I don't think the president as a head of
the executive branch weighing in I don't
think it's going to move a single voter
I wish yeah the question I more bad for
you congressman is whether these four
prosecutors who quit as a result whether
that was a staged event Republicans are
saying that was all pre-planned I don't
know where the truth is but they left in
a huff was it a pre-arranged Huff I I
don't know and in fairness II
I try to be fair particularly I don't
know anything I don't know why they left
I think two of them were leaving anyway
here's the reality I I did what they did
I did it for a long time prosecutors
don't send his people and we all have
bosses to disagree with us if you read
what Bill Barr if you read the second
filing it is this is a serious crime it
deserves an act of prison sentence but
it may not deserve nine years if you're
gonna quit because you think somebody
ought to get nine years and your boss
thinks they ought to get four then maybe
it wasn't the right job for you anyway
do you find anything unusual about it
have you ever heard or seen anything
like that I find the last two years to
be wildly unusual I I was in the room
when Roger stone lied to Congress it may
have been my question for all I know I
would like to give back to a point where
we can all agree you shouldn't lie when
you take an oath not to but we all agree
that the judge is going to do the
sentencing not the prosecutors not the
CNN commentators and I'd also like to
get to a world where you don't have to
apologize for being a prosecutor if
you're a Democrat candidate for the
nomination and they beat the hell out of
Kabul Harris and Amy Klobuchar because
they were prosecutors so this newfound
desire for a vigorous strong justice
system I just find it to be amusing when
Democrats are asking for significant
jail sentence for a non-violent crime
yeah the judge could be zero influence
but whatever recommendations are out
there right that's why we give them life
life tenure I think this particular
judge is going to do whatever she thinks
is right and that's why we give them
jobs for the remainder of their natural
lives well said
all right congressman very good seeing
again I appreciate it yes sir
