Trump is the first candidate for president in history
who has been impeached twice,
eroding his support among all five of the country's remaining moderate Republicans.
One of those impeachment hearings was led by our next guest,
Democratic Congressman from California, Adam Schiff.
Thank you for joining us, Congressman.
Great to be with you.
Absolutely.
Congressman, do you think President Biden has a stronger message
than President Trump's message of: “I sent Tina Brown flowers
when she launched Talk magazine, but I never got a thank you note.”
I thought President Biden did a great job tonight
talking about making the economy work for all Americans.
The progress that we've made under his administration
and the work that's still ahead.
So I thought he knocked it out of the park tonight.
Sure.
President Biden has a durable coalition, but Trump does have bipartisan
cooperation between Republicans and white nationalists.
Well well, Biden has nothing on Trump during his State of the Union,
he did not want to auction Iowa to the highest bidding dictator.
It is true.
Now, Congressman, during his speech, President Biden challenged Republicans
to support ultra left wing socialist priorities
like fighting cancer and opioids,
with this call to unity.
You know, my Republican friends, we could work together the last Congress.
There's no reason we can't work together and find consensus on important things in
this Congress as well.
Now, Congressman, can
you work with the Republicans who shouted over the president
when they weren't busy texting Oath Keepers photos of your license plate?
I think President Biden
has signaled his willingness and I share that willingness
to work together to get things done for the American people.
We passed the bipartisan infrastructure bill.
We passed legislation help us bring manufacturing back home.
We even passed some gun safety legislation,
not nearly enough, but we made some progress.
There's a lot more that we can do in this session of Congress
to move the country forward.
I'm willing to do whatever is necessary to make that happen.
And I think the president signaled that he is
open to that kind of bipartisan cooperation as well.
Look, Biden is partisan.
Sure, he delivered Strom Thurmond's eulogy, but he refused to get in the coffin with him.
Moving on.
Congressman, you are running to be the next United States Senator
from California, even though the seat is currently held by Democratic Senator
Dianne Feinstein, who has yet to announce her plans even though she is,
according to our fact checkers, 1 million years old.
Now, since you are appearing here in your capacity
as a member of Congress, you cannot comment on your Senate campaign
or Dianne Feinstein’s decision on whether or not to retire..
Is that correct?
That's correct.
This is an official interview,
so I'm going to keep my remarks focused on the policy of the United States.
Okay, and we respect that.
So let's not talk about Dianne Feinstein’s retirement decision.
Let's move on to a completely unrelated topic.
Beautiful Boca Raton, Florida.
Whether it's tennis, golf, or taking in the ocean breeze,
Boca, as the locals call it, is the perfect spot to enjoy your golden years.
Explore the world class
Boca Raton Museum of Art.
Or open air concerts at the Meissner Park Amphitheater
with a July 26 performance from the Goo Goo Dolls.
Plus, it has some of the best dining in South Florida.
But don't take it from us, Congressman Schiff,
tell us some things you would do if you retired to Boca Raton, Florida.
Well, I would I would enjoy the great weather
and I would enjoy all the wonderful people.
And the fact that every week in Boca is basically like a Seinfeld episode.
How so?
I'm too young for that reference. But it sounds like
a wonderful place for a random woman to retire,
without some know it all intern leaking their every mental hiccup to political.
