>> Sarah Palin is back baby whether you want to or not and you probably don't.
She's running for office once again, she's joining over 50 other candidates
who are trying to take the seat that was vacated by Representative Don Young when he died
earlier this year. So she is going to be trying to enter Congress.
Sarah Palin, not just for Alaska anymore, she'll be all of our problems potentially.
She announced her candidacy saying, today I'm announcing my candidacy for the US House seat
representing Alaska. Public service is a calling and I would be honored to represent
the men and women of Alaska in Congress just as Representative Young did for 49 years.
And look, it could end up just still being a public relations thing or whatever but,
here you see, here's she's registering to get on the ballot.
And it's considered serious enough that a lot of high profile politicians have already weighed in,
including some Republican strategists like this Republican National Committee woman
from Alaska said, there had been speculation, but I was surprised.
She will certainly be a contender. Beyond that, I don't know how it'll be received. She hasn't
been active in politics since the run for vice president and her service as governor. She hasn't
been involved or I haven't seen a red events. And another claim that Palin is quote, certainly the
favorite just because everyone knows her, but cautioned, people still remember her quitting.
It's not a slam dunk and her favorability rating right now is 31% although I don't
know for sure if that's inside of Alaska or nationally but, Francesca,
she could be speaking on the house floor soon. >> I mean, we've got worse than Palin in
congress right now. Palin was like
the OG, Palin paved the way for these other crazy so I mean, they owe it to her right?
She's like the Bernie of the wackjob movement within the GOP and she owes it all that John
McCain which is the saddest part about all this. But, she was saying drill baby drill before
Lauren Boebert put it on her dress or whatever the hell she thinks is cool.
So, I'm of two minds. Number one, the reason she's running
is cuz Newsmax won't offer her a job. And the reason Newsmax won't offer her job is cuz,
and I say this with a lot of care but, she's very dumb. She's real stupid, she's so dumb,
she can't maintain the line of propaganda, she's unable to have a through line,
like Marjorie Taylor Greene obviously is stupid, but she knows how to get her points across, right?
And same with Lauren Boebert. Palin been dumb, she's admitted that she didn't read, couldn't
name one single newspaper, says that she could see Russia from her backyard, which could be like,
I'm gonna get him, I'm gonna get Putin cuz I'm, >> Every day she wakes up and fires one
shot at the general direction of Russia.
>> And then she just starts drilling for oil in her own backyard.
I'm not sure how this is gonna play and I agree, I think she might be old,
might be played out man, this reboot, >> She's got name recognition, that's
what counts, she also has a secret weapon which we're gonna get to in one moment.
But, yeah, she is very dumb and she's done in a Trumpian way.
Again, it's very stream of consciousness and also I just want to be careful cuz
it is a very common thing in America to really focus on and emphasize dumb female politicians
which is unfair and it's really erasure of some of the truly dumb male politicians that we have.
Like, there ain't no way Sarah Palin is dumber than Louie Gohmert, Madison
Cawthorn literally doesn't know five facts. >> But you put your finger on it, they are men,
she's dumb in a Trumpian way which otherwise should make her a perfect candidate for president,
but she's a woman.
>> That's true, but name recognition. You also identified, you know who hates this news
the most other than the 49 other candidates running?
It is definitely Lauren Boebert because, I don't think there's a lot of crossover necessarily
in the appeal of Palin to Cawthorn, Palin to Gates, maybe there, Palin to Marjorie Greene.
But that Palin is just Boebert's whole thing, that is her whole look, that is her whole, the way
she talks, that is all that she is and you just perhaps got eclipsed by the masters, so we'll see.
It's gonna be Obi Wan versus Anakin and we'll see who has the high ground,
although Alaska is really high, it's up there.
Anyway, here's the secret weapon though everyone, do you know what she has?
She has Trump. Trump has endorsed Sarah Palin cuz why not, honestly?
He went all-in in a statement yesterday explained that Palin
endorsed him very early on in the process and according to Trump, it worked out well.
Sarah shocked many, I don't want this graphic, Sarah shocked many when she endorsed me very
early in 2016 and we went big now it's my turn to take the spotlight off of her and put it back
on me. Sarah lifted the McCain presidential campaign out of the dumps despite the fact
that she had to endure some very evil, stupid and jealous people within the campaign itself.
They were out to destroy her, but she didn't let that happen. Is that McCain? Is he saying John
McCain is a very stupid, evil person trying to destroy her? He, as you said, he inflicted her
on us and he's also dead. So that seems like an unfair move for a couple of different reasons.
>> I like this, I like this on a purely entertainment level. I hate this
>> And hopefully that's all it'll be. >> Why? Yeah, I mean, I hate it when
you're actually thinking about consequences for people and Trump possibly having another
shot at the White House. But I love this on how stupid this is and they go together.
