DAGEN: YOU NEW A DASH DARE.
LARRY: HAD.
LARRY:A NEW WASHINGTON POST OP-ED CALLING FOR PRESIDENT
OP-ED CALLING FOR PRESIDENT
BIDEN TO STEP ASIDE.
JOINING THE CONVERSATION ALL
MORNING LONG, LAFFER TANGLER
INVESTMENT’S CHIEF INVESTMENT
OFFICER AND CEO, NANCY TENGLER
AND NATIONAL TAXPAYERS UNION
EXECUTIVE VICE PRESIDENT, BRAN
NON ARNOLD.
NANCY, YOUR REACTION TO THIS, IT’S THE PEOPLE ESSENTIALLY WHO
IT’S THE PEOPLE ESSENTIALLY WHO
WROTE THIS, IT WAS STEVE EYE
ISENBERG WROTE THE OP-ED IN THE
WASHINGTON POST.
THE AMERICAN PEOPLE ARE TELLING
JOE BIDEN NOT TO RUN.
THE NEW YORK TIMES POLL SAID 64%
OF DEMOCRATS WANT SOMEONE ELSE
TO BE THEIR CANDIDATE IN 204.
>> WHAT I THOUGHT WAS
INTERESTING ABOUT THE OP-ED, THE
AUTHOR SAID THAT IT WASN’T THAT
THE PRESIDENT WASN’T A STRONG
PRESIDENT, IT’S JUST THAT HE’S
NOT GETTING CREDIT FOR IT.
I THINK THAT’S WHAT THE POLLS
ARE FOR.
AND I CAN’T UNDERSTAND WHY
ANYONE IS SURPRISED THAT AT 78
WITH SOME OBVIOUS COGNITIVE
ISSUES THIS PRESIDENT WOULD BE
WEAK.
SO, YOU KNOW, THE WOLVES ARE
CIRCLING, VERY EARLY.
DAGEN: YEAH, THE WOLVES, NAMELY
GAVIN NEWSOM AND JAMIE PRITZKER
TO NAME TWO OF THEM.
THERE’S A STORY IN THE WALL
STREET JOURNAL TODAY ABOUT MANY
DEMOCRATS ARE LOOKING BEYOND
BIDEN AND BRANDON, TO THAT
POINT, THAT EVEN MEMBERS OF HIS
OWN PARTY DON’T WANT TO BE
STANDING -- WHO ARE RUNNING FOR
ELECTION OR RE-ELECTION IN THE
MIDTERMS, DON’T WANT TO STAND
ALONGSIDE JOE BIDEN AND I’LL
JUST POINT TO, SAY, TIM RYAN AND
EVEN THE CANDIDATE FOR GOVERNOR,
NAN WALLY IN OHIO, WHEN BIDEN
WAS IN CLEVELAND RECENTLY, THEY
SAID THEY HAD SCHEDULING
CONFLICTS TO PREVENT THEM FROM
HAVING TO BE NEAR HIM.
>> YEAH.
I’M SURE THAT’S VERY, VERY
LIKELY.
BUT IN TRUTH, WHAT THIS OP-ED
SAID IS WHAT EVERYONE IN
WASHINGTON HAS BEEN SAYING FOR A LONG TIME AND THAT IS THIS
LONG TIME AND THAT IS THIS
PRESIDENT IN ANIL AN ALBATROS
AROUND THE NECK OF DEMOCRATIC
CANDIDATES.
THERE’S SOMETHING THEY CAN DO
ABOUT BIDEN, PUT HIM ON THE BACK
BENCH, GET HIM OUT OF THE PUBLIC
EYE.
THE SOONER THEY DO, THE BETTER
DEMOCRATS ARE GOING TO FARE THIS
NOVEMBER.
DAGEN: I’M GOING TO ADD THIS
BEFORE WE MOVE ON TO MARKETS AS
WE GET THE SHOW ROLLING.
IT’S NOT BIDEN THAT’S THE
PROBLEM.
HE MAY BE DODDEING AND OUT OF
TOUCH AND CONFUSED OFTEN.
IT’S HIS POLICIES AND HIS
POLICIES ARE THE DEMOCRATS’
POLICIES.
IF ANYTHING, IT’S NOT HIS
DECISION MAKING, IT’S THE
DECISION MAKING AMONG THESE LEFT
WING NUTS WHO ARE SURROUNDING
HIM IN THE WHITE HOUSE AND BY
THE WAY, THE DEMOCRATS ARE
WORRIED ABOUT BIDEN AND THEIR
MIDTERM ELECTION.
THEY’VE BEEN IN CONTROL OF THE
HOUSE AND THE SENATE FOR THE
LAST TWO YEARS.
THIS IS A DISASTER OF THE
DEMOCRATS’ MAKING, NOT BIDEN.
THEY’RE JUST TRYING TO USE HIM
AS A SCAPEGOAT.
>> I TOTALLY AGREE.
FROM CABINET SECRETARY TO SAAB
NET SECRETARY, YOU SEE PEOPLE
WHO ARE ILL-PREPARED FOR THE
JOB, WHO ARE FOLLOWING
PROGRESSIVE POLICIES AT THEIR
PERIL.
THERE’S A GREAT ARTICLE IN THE
WALL STREET JOURNAL THAT WAS
ALLYSIA FINLEY PIECE ON PAYING
PEOPLE TO STAY HOME AND IT DID
IN FACT DO THAT, TRANSFER
PAYMENTS CAUSED PEOPLE TO STAY
HOME, SPEND MORE, AND THEN WE
THREW A LOT MORE MONEY AT IT
LONG AFTER WE SHOULD WITH THE
AMERICAN RESCUE PLAN OR RECOVERY
PLAN, WHATEVER IT WAS CALLED, SO
THEIR POLICIES ARE RESPONSIBLE
FOR INFLATION.
ADD TO THAT ENERGY AND ENERGY
POLICY WHERE WE’RE NOW DEPENDENT
AND WE’RE GOING TO HAVE OTHER
COUNTRIES HAT IN HAND AND
COUNTRIES THAT PRODUCE REALLY
DIRTY GAS AND ENERGY, SO I THINK
THE AVERAGE AMERICAN SEES THAT
AND THAT IS REFLECTED IN THE
POLLS.
DAGEN: INDEED, NANCY.
