Some Democrats don't think Biden can win in 2024 so they're looking for better options before it's
too late. Well, why don't you lead this, this is, this is a crazy story. The headlines is,
the headlines on this story New York magazine, headline is, there has to be a backup. Surely
there's a backup. Isn't there a backup, right? For 2024. I mean, that's the headline.
Right. What we're seeing and this is really interesting and, and everybody needs to
understand this. There's a growing group of Democrats that actually are influential.
They do have some power. I think this is kind of originating out of New York, but it's spreading.
They don't think this guy can hack it in 2024. And they don't think Kamala Harris can do it in
2024. They don't think Pete Buttigieg can do it in 2024. They are panicking behind the scenes.
Yeah. And those numbers are growing and they're
looking at other people literally from coast to coast. Can we find any breathing human being?
Yeah. That would fit the ticket better than him.
Biggest donors are saying this. The biggest power brokers that are involved with the Democrats are
saying it. All, all the Dem money sources. This is, that's what the Dems have to worry about.
At some point, those sources say, this is not a good bet for me anymore. Let me
go ahead and then they secretly by way of all kinds of, you know, all kinds of
shell games, they start putting money behind Republicans. I mean, we, we we've seen it happen.
Oh yeah. Time and time again. So that's the risk. Look,
he's the oldest president in the history of this country. Now, if he runs again, he's 86 years old
by the time it's all over, he runs at 82 years old. It's just improbable. Now I know there's
people, I love this, you know, there's people out here listening to this. I, I, they, they put,
they put their fingers in their ear. I don't wanna hear that. It's too painful. Good God it's too.
I mean, that's, that's the worst reaction we can have. Don't say that Pap, don't say that Farron,
you're hurting the Democratic party. [ __ ] We're the only ones trying to help them.
The Democrats are in such trouble. And so we don't talk about it, but I, honest of God, you've got
people who watch programs like this and they, there're so upset that we're saying something
that scares them. And rather than saying, okay, I'm scared, let me go do something about it. They
put their fingers in there ear and say, how dare they say this? I mean, it's almost childlike. It's
like, it's like eighth grade childlike. But. It, it, it is. And we, you know, we,
we do see that a lot and we see it with the criticism of Biden,
whether you're doing it, you know, in a video or you're doing it on Twitter, wherever it is,
they don't wanna acknowledge it. But listen, we, the Democratic party, we, they understand
they have a problem. They're admitting this behind the scenes. You have people that have worked with
this administration that have come out of this saying, oh my God, we've never seen dysfunction
like we're seeing coming out of Kamala Harris's office for the vice president. Folks,
this, we always talked about the chaos of the Trump administration, which it was, behind the.
We still talk about it. Right.
We still talk about what a lose, you know, what a bumpkin Trump is.
And, and behind the scenes, it was even worse. And I'm not saying this reaches that level,
but when you have the people that are essentially pulling the strings on the party telling you.
Yeah. This isn't gonna work, we're
headed for catastrophe. Maybe we ought to listen. Don't you see this though when you're doing a
story like this, it's like, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah. I don't wanna hear. Nah, nah, nah. Don't talk
to me about it. It is suspension of disbelief. It really is.
It's what a fourth grader does. So you have to talk about it. Now here's their reactions.
This, these, this is what's coming from the progressive side. Well, his doldrums are gonna
pass. It's just, it's just passing through. He's 82 and you know what, that makes him wise and if
he's 86, he's gonna be wiser. These are talking points. And his, oh, okay. Here it is. Here it is.
Don't pay any attention. There's nothing to see here. You know, or, or how, how dare you attack
or talk about this story because you're hurting the Democrats. Let me make something real clear.
I ain't a Democrat and I'm sure as hell not a Republican and neither are you.
I mean, I, isn't that kind of we fall. We fall some, oh, I don't know what your political
affiliation. I guess it's Democrat, I don't know. Well yeah, I'm still, I'm still registered with
them. But I think what's important too, is to point out, like you said, this is from New York
magazine. Yeah.
You know, a bit of a high society publication coming out of New York.
This is not, you know, a random blogger putting out these thoughts.
This is what is happening with the party. If you choose to not believe it,
then you are choosing to deny reality. Yeah. I mean, God bless you. If you wanna go,
eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, I don't want to hear this. Stop this. Stop it. You're hurting my, you know,
if you wanna do that great. But it's time to pay attention because you're this close,
this, close to seeing a major sea change unless there's something done about this.
2024 is gonna be very unpleasant. Yeah. Farron Cousins, thank you for
joining me. Okay. Thank you.
