DAGEN: A NEW NEW YORK TIMES
SIENNA COLLEGE POLL SHOWING JUST
33% OF AMERICANS APPROVE OF
PRESIDENT JOE BIDEN’S JOB
PERFORMANCE.
THE POLL ALSO SHOWS THAT 64% OF
DEMOCRAT VOTERS WANT SOMEBODY
ELSE OTHER THAN JOE BIDEN TO BE
THE 2024 DEMOCRATIC PRESIDENTIAL
NOMINEE.
AGE, JOB PERFORMANCE, THE
LEADING REASONS WHY VOTERS WANT
SOMEBODY ELSE ON THE TICKET.
JOINING ME NOW, WASHINGTON
EXAMINER COMMENTARY WRITER TIANA
LOWE.
TIANA, IT’S NOT SURPRISING.
>> NO, IT’S NOT.
YOU AND I BOTH KNOW THAT FROM
THE BEGINNING, JOE BIDEN WAS NOT
ELECTED TO BE A TRANSFORMATIONAL
PRESIDENT.
HE WAS NOT ELECTED TO BE THE
MOST PROGRESSIVE PRESIDENT SINCE
FDR AS HE PLEDGED TO BE IN HIS
OWN WORDS.
HE WAS ELECTED TO BE A WARM BODY
TO BE ELECTED OVER THE PREVIOUS
PRESIDENT.
WHO UNLIKE HIM HAD A FLOOR AMONG
HIS OWN SUPPORTERS.
THE REAL ISSUE FOR JOE BIDEN IS
THAT HE DOESN’T HAVE A REAL
BASE.
THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY IS NOT
INTRACTABLE WHEN IT COMES TO
VOTING FOR HIM.
YOU SEE IT NOT JUST AMONG THE
YOUNG ACTIVIST CLASS THAT RAPID
I TURNED AGAINST HIM ONCE THEY
REALIZED YOU CAN’T MAGICALLY
MAKE A 50/50 SENATE PASS THINGS
THAT CAN’T BE PASSED THROUGH
RECONCILIATION.
YOU’RE SEEING IT WITH LOSSES
AMONG OLDER VOTERS, MEN AND
CRUCIALLY HISPANIC VOTERS WHO WE
ALL KNOW ARE BEING HIT THE
HARDEST BY THE STAGFLATION THAT
HE HAS BROUGHT THROUGH THE
AMERICAN RESCUE PLAN AND ADDING
AN A EXTRA $2 TRILLION OF
DEFICIT SPENDING ONTO A BUDGET
THAT WAS ALREADY STRETCHED
BEYOND THIN.
DAGEN: I SAID THIS A WHILE AGO.
WELL, NOT THAT LONG AGO.
THAT JOE BIDEN BY MANY WAS
ELECTED TO BE A PALLET CLEANSER,
LIKE A LIGHT CHAMPAGNE SORBET,
IF YOU WILL, BETWEEN COURSES.
INSTEAD, HE’S LIKE AN OLD CRAB
CAKE SOMEBODY FOUND OUT IN THE
YARD AND HAS FED TO THE AMERICAN
PEOPLE AND YOU KNOW YOU’RE
GETTING FOOD POISONING FROM IT.
>> OH, ABSOLUTELY.
I MEAN, THE FACT IS, REMEMBER
HOW MUCH HE CAMPAIGNED ON A
RETURN TO NORMAL C WHENACY.
YOU THINK OF HOW HE LAUNCHED HIS
CAMPAIGN, WHEN YOU THINK ABOUT
WHAT HE SAID ABOUT DONALD
TRUMP’S CHARACTER, NOT ABOUT
REPUBLICANS IN GENERAL BUT HE
FOCUSED IT ALL ON I WILL BE THE
RETURN TO NORMALCY, I RESPECT
NORMS.
WHAT ABOUT ANY OF THIS IS
NORMAL, DAGEN?
I MEAN, JUST LOOK AT HIS
RESPONSE TO DOBBS ALONE.
IT’S DO NOTHING BUT ALSO
SIMULTANEOUSLY TRY AND UNDERMINE
THE LEGITIMACY OF THE SUPREME
COURT.
THAT SOUNDS A LITTLE
INSURRECTIONY TO ME, TO TALK
ABOUT NOT ABIDING BY WHAT THE
HIGHEST COURT IN THE LAND IS
SAYING.
YOU DON’T HAVE A PRESIDENT, I
MEAN, I I’M SORRY, THE MAN IS
PUSHING 80 NOW.
HE’S NOT MAKING HIS REGULAR
VISITS DOWN TO THE HILL, THE
SAME WAY HE DID UNDER THE OBAMA
ADMINISTRATION.
THAT JOE BIDEN WAS VERY INTEGRAL
TO THAT WHITE HOUSE IN HELPING
GET STUFF DONE IN CONGRESS,
HELPING STUFF DONE IN THE
SENATE.
THIS JOE BIDEN DOESN’T KNOW HOW
TO DO THAT.
WHAT YOU ALSO HAVE, FURTHER
UNDERMINING THE LEGITIMACY OF
CONGRESS AS A BODY BUT THE
SENATE SPECIFICALLY, HE’S JUST
UNWILLING TO TRY AND GET
BIPARTISAN ACTION WHICH IS WHY
TO ME IT’S SHOCKING THAT THE GUN
CONTROL LEGISLATION GOT DONE ON
A BIPARTISAN BASIS AND NOTICE
THE JOE BIDEN -- THAT JOE BIDEN
HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH IT.
LIKE THE BILL, HATE THE BILL,
THE FACT IS, STUFF GETS DONE
WHEN JOE BIDEN AND HIS
ADMINISTRATION IS NOT INVOLVED.
THAT’S A PROBLEM FOR A PRESIDENT
WHO HINGED OR WHO HEDGED
EVERYTHING ON BEING, QUOTE,
UNQUOTE, TRANSFORMATIONAL.
DAGEN: ALL YOU GET OUT OF BIDEN
IS BLAME.
FOR PROBLEMS THAT HE CREATED OR
HIS ADMINISTRATION HE CREATED.
HE IS FACING BACKLASH FOR A
TWEET BLAMING REPUBLICANS FOR
THE NATION’S ECONOMIC PROBLEMS.
HERE’S THE TWEET.
REPUBLICANS, THIS IS A QUOTE,
REPUBLICANS ARE DOING NOTHING
BUT OBSTRUCTING OUR EFFORTS TO
CRACK DOWN ON GAS PRICE GOUGING,
LOWER FOOD PRICES, LOWER
HEALTHCARE COSTS AND HOPEFULLY
SOON, LOWER YOUR PRESCRIPTION
DRUG COST.
THIS IS NOT RIGHT.
AND THAT’S WHY THIS ELECTION IS
GOING TO BE SO DARN IMPORTANT.
WHILE ON THE CAMPAIGN TRAIL FOR
THE PRESIDENCY IN 2022, BIDEN
TOOK AN ALL TOGETHER DIFFERENT
TONE.
THIS IS A TWEET FROM JUNE OF
2010 TOWNSHIP.
IT’S HARD TO BELIEVE THIS HAS TO
BE SAID BUT UNLIKE THIS
PRESIDENT I’LL DO MY JOB AND
TAKE RESPONSIBILITY.
I WON’T BLAME OTHERS AND I’LL
NEVER FORGET THAT THE JOB ISN’T
ABOUT ME, IT’S ABOUT YOU.
BALLBALGERDASH.
>> THERE’S SUCH A MET AT THAT
POINT TO BE MADE.
WE ALL SEE EXACTLY WHAT’S
HAPPENING IN THE PRESIDENT’S
COGNITIVE DECLINE, IN HIS LACK
OF PATIENCE WITH THE PROCEDURAL
NORMS OF HOW THIS COUNTRY IS RUN
BUT LET’S KNOW CUSS ON FOCUS ON
FOCUS ON THE FIRST POINT HE
MAKES.
REPUBLICANS OBSTRUCTING
DEMOCRATS’ GOALS TO STOP GAS
PRICE GOUGING, YOU ASIDE FROM TH
FACT WE KNOW PRICES AREN’T
GOUGED BY AMERICAN DISTRIBUTORS.
WHAT ARE THE PRESIDENT’S
APPROACH?
ONE, BEG THE OIL COMPANIES TO
PUMP MORE, NOT AUTHORIZE NEW
PERMITS FOR DRILLING ON FEDERAL
LAND.
BUT BEG.
BEG CONGRESS TO INSTITUTE A GAS
TAX HOLIDAY WHICH MIND YOU IS
STILL ONLY 30-CENTS -- OR
18-CENTS ON THE GALLON WHICH IS
VERY SMALL IN COMPARISON TO THE
GROWTH WE’VE SEEN.
DAGEN: IT’S DOUBLED.
>> THIRD, AND NOW WE KNOW HE’S
GOING TO GO TO SAUDI ARABIA TO
BEG THE SAUDIS AFTER INSULTING
MBS, NONSTOP FOR THE NEXT TWO
YEARS, NOW HE’S GOING TO CHANGE
HIS TUNE, BEG MBS TO BAIL US OUT
BY DRILLING MORE OF FOREIGN OIL
WHEN WE ALL KNOW THAT WE ALREADY
HAVE THE SOLUTION TO DRILL
DOMESTICALLY AND HOW DO WE KNOW
THIS IF BECAUSE NOT FOUR YEARS
AGO, WE WERE NET DOMESTIC
EXPORTERS OF GAS.
WE KNOW WE HAVE THE CAPACITY TO
DO IT.
WE JUST HAVE TO STOP SCARING THE
MARKET STRAIGHT.
WE HAVE TO STOP SCARING THE OIL
PRODUCERS OUT OF DOING THEIR
JOBS AND MAKING IT SO EXPENSIVE
FOR THEM TO BE ABLE TO DO IT.
DAGEN: I THOUGHT A NEW LOW WAS
THIS ADMINISTRATION ALSO BLAMING
THE MOM AND POP OPERATORS OF GAS
STATIONS FOR OVERCHARGING PEOPLE
AND DO YOUR PATRIOTIC DUTY AND
LOWER PRICES.
BUT THAT’S PAR FOR THE COURSE.
BECAUSE THEY CLEARLY RUN OUT OF
PEOPLE TO BLAME BECAUSE THEY
DON’T HAVE ANY MIRRORS IN THE
WEST WING OR THE WHITE HOUSE.
