>> PRESIDENT BIDEN’S POPULARITY
HAS CERTAINLY SEEN BETTER DAYS.
WHILE HE HAS BEEN RECOVERING
FROM COVID, A HECKLER HAD THIS
TO SAY TO FIRST LADY JILL BIDEN
LAST WEEK.
WATCH.
>> YOUR HUSBAND AND IS THE WORST
PRESIDENT WE’VE EVER HAD!
>> THANK YOU!
>> Emily: THE PRICE OF GAS HAS
SOARED SINCE THE PRESIDENT FIRST
TOOK OFFICE AND HIS POLL NUMBERS
HAVE PLUMMETED.
AMERICANS OBVIOUSLY STILL
FEELING THAT PAIN AT THE PUMP.
A NEW QUINNIPIAC POLL BUT THE
PRESIDENT’S APPROVAL AT AN
ALL-TIME LOW, JUST 31%, AND
OTHER RECENT POLLS SHOW MAYBE
AMERICANS DON’T WANT HIM TO RUN
INTO 124.
IT SEEMS NEITHER DO MANY IN THE
MEDIA.
HEADLINE AFTER HEADLINE TELLING
THE PRESIDENT NOT TO SEEK A
SECOND TERM.
JUST THE LATEST, AN OP-ED IN
"THE WASHINGTON POST" WITH THIS
HEADLINE: "QUIT, JOE, QUIT."
HE GOES ON TO SAY,
"PRESIDENT BIDEN SHOULD ANNOUNCE
NOW THAT HE WON’T RUN FOR
REELECTION IN 2024.
HE SHOULD NOT ASK THE
DEMOCRATIC PARTY WHERE THEY
SHOULD TO ASSUME THE RISK OF A
SECOND RUN AFTER HE REACHES THE
AGE OF 82."
I THINK IT HAS SO MUCH TO DO
WITH EVERYTHING WE LISTED
BEFORE, RATHER THAN THE AGE
ITSELF, WHICH IS HIS UTMOST
FAILURES.
>> Lara: YOU CAN JUST LOOK AT
JOE BIDEN AND SEE THERE IS A
DISCONNECT.
HE’S NOT THE SAME AS HIS
PREDECESSOR IN MANY WAYS.
WE DON’T HAVE ENOUGH TIME TO
DISCUSS ALL OF THAT.
BUT THE SUGGESTION BY
"THE WASHINGTON POST," OF ALL
PLACES, THAT JOE BIDEN SHOULD
NOT SEEK A SECOND TERM, I MEAN,
THEY WERE SOME OF HIS BIGGEST
SUPPORTERS, DON’T FORGET, IN
2020.
BUT THE SUGGESTION IS HE SHOULD
JUST GET IT ALL OUT THERE
BECAUSE EVERYBODY ALREADY KNOWS
HE’S PROBABLY NOT GOING TO RUN.
THERE’S A LOT OF CHATTER IN THE
DEMOCRAT PARTY.
AND INSTEAD OF FOCUSING ON
JOE BIDEN NOT RUNNING, POSSIBLY,
THEY CAN JUST FOCUS ON THESE
MIDTERMS, WHICH THEY ARE VERY,
VERY NERVOUS ABOUT ON THE
DEMOCRAT SIDE.
I THINK JOE BIDEN SERVED HIS
PURPOSE.
HE WAS SORT OF PUT THEIR TO DO
THE BIDDING OF THE FAR LEFT
RADICALS IN THE
DEMOCRATIC PARTY.
HE HAS ACHIEVED THAT IN MANY
WAYS, TALKING ABOUT THE HIGH GAS
PRICES THAT ARE ULTIMATELY THEY
ARE HOPING TO FORCE PEOPLE TO
GET ELECTRIC CARS, AND NOW THEY
ARE READY FOR THE NEXT ONE.
HE’S DONE, THEY ARE DONE WITH
HIM, MOVE ON.
EVEN "THE WASHINGTON POST"
THINKS SO.
>> Emily: THAT’S INTERESTING
BECAUSE HE CALLS HIMSELF THE
TRANSITION PRESIDENT, AND, JOHN,
TO LARA’S POINT, AMERICANS CARE
ABOUT WHAT’S GOING ON IN THE
FAMILIES AND IN OUR COMMUNITIES
AND WITH OUR PAYCHECKS BECAUSE
28% SAY THEY APPROVE OF BIDEN’S
HANDLING OF THE ECONOMY, 66%
DISAPPROVE, AND THE BIGGEST
CONCERN RIGHT NOW FOR AMERICANS
IS INFLATION.
THEY ARE AT A 40-YEAR HIGH OF
9.9%.
THAT’S WAY WHEN THE HECKLER SAID
TO HIS WIFE, "BIDEN OWES ME GAS
MONEY," HE OWES US A LOT MORE
THAN THAT.
>> John: WHAT HE HAS DONE HAS
STEPPED SO FAR OUTSIDE THE
BOUNDS OF POLITICAL DIFFERENCES
THAT NOW IT IS HITTING EVERYBODY
ON DAILY THINGS THEY DEAL WITH.
GAS PRICES, DON’T CARE IF YOU
ARE A DEMOCRAT OR REPUBLICAN.
WHEN YOU BUY A DOZEN EGGS AND
YOU’RE LIKE, "HOW MUCH ARE THESE
EGGS?"
AND YOU GO TO COSTCO UNDECIDED
BUY THE BIG BOOK STUFF, THAT
AFFECTS EVERYBODY, TOO.
HE SAID HE WAS GOING TO BRING
UNITY AND I SAW THE POLL EARLIER
THIS MONTH THAT SAID 88% OF
AMERICANS SAID WE WERE ON THE
WRONG TRACK IN THIS COUNTRY.
THAT IS QUITE A FEAT TO GET
AMERICANS TO AGREE ON 80% OF
ANYTHING, BUT JOE DID IT.
GOOD JOB, JOE.
WE ARE UNIFIED IN THAT WE DON’T
LIKE WHAT’S GOING ON.
>> Emily: PART OF THE ARGUMENT
IN THE ARTICLE SAID THAT THEY
DEEMED HIS LACK OF DECISION OR
THAT HE MIGHT RUN AGAIN, THAT
IT’S A DISTRACTION.
WE NEED A PRESIDENT THAT CAN
DEAL WITH THESE URGENT MATTERS
NOW, BUT ISN’T THAT WHAT A
PRESIDENT SHOULD DO ALL THE TIME
NO MATTER WHAT REGARDLESS OF THE
FUTURE?
>> Harris: YES, AND TO RESPECT
THE FACT THAT HIS WIFE THINKS HE
HASN’T HAD AN EASY GO OF IT
BECAUSE THERE HAS BEEN ALL
THESE -- YOU HAVE TO EXPECT
THAT’S PART OF THE JOB AND COME
CLEAN TO THE FACT THEY’VE CAUSED
SOME OF IT.
CAN WE PUT THE "QUIT, JOE,
QUIT," BACK ON THE WALL?
THERE’S A SECTION OF THAT I WANT
TO .2.
THIS IDEA THAT IF HE SAYS NOW
HE’S NOT GOING TO RUN FOR A
SECOND TERM, THAT CAN SAVE THE
MIDTERM ELECTIONS FOR THE
DEMOCRATS.
THAT IS SO UNTRUE.
THAT IS BEYOND ALL THE NEWS THAT
IS FIT TO PRINT, BUT I THINK
THAT’S "THE NEW YORK TIMES"
"NEW YORK TIMES."
[LAUGHTER]
>> Kennedy: THE OLD GRAY LADY!
STEEL AND IT EXCEEDS THE AMOUNT
OF TIME OR SPACE YOU GET TO PUT
THINGS THAT AREN’T TRUE.
THAT IS NOT WHAT IS GOING TO
SAVE THEM.
IT’S ALL THE POLICIES THAT HAVE
CHANGED BETWEEN NOW AND NOVEMBER
IT’S 106 DAYS AWAY.
THAT’S NOT GOING TO HAPPEN.
>> Emily: KENNEDY, TO THESE
POINTS, IF THE POLICIES ARE NOT
WORKING AND THE MEDIA AND HIS
OWN PARTY AND THE AMERICAN
PUBLIC ARE STRONGLY SCREAMING,
"WE DON’T LIKE THIS," WHY HASN’T
THAT MESSAGE BEEN RECEIVED?
A YEAR AND A HALF INCOME HE’S
UTTERLY FAILING IN THE EYES OF
EVERY INSTITUTION THAT ANALYZES
HIM, YET IT SEEMS NOT TO HAVE
PENETRATED HIS BRAIN YET.
>> Kennedy: THAT IS SUCH A
GOOD QUESTION AND I KNOW IT’S
HARD TO ADMIT WHEN YOU’VE
FAILED, ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU ARE
A POLITICIAN AND YOUR JOB IS TO
SELL YOURSELF AND GET PEOPLE TO
LIKE YOU.
ALL ANYONE IS DOING IS ADMITTING
THEY HAVE TOTAL BUYERS REMORSE.
THEY WERE SOLD JOE BIDEN BY THE
DEMOCRAT ESTABLISHMENT AS THE
SAVIOR OF THE NATION.
THE PERSON WHO CAN HEAL THE
GREAT TRUMPIAN DIVIDE, AND ALL
HE HAS DONE IS PLUNGE THIS
ECONOMY INTO THIS DANTE’S
INFERNO WHEN WE ARE GOING LEVEL
AFTER LEVEL, DEEPER AND DEEPER,
AS MORE PRICES SPIKED.
HOUSING, GAS, MORTGAGES NOW, AND
ON TOP OF THAT HE’S GOT ALL
THESE FOREIGN POLICY FAILURES.
HE DOESN’T KNOW WHAT HE’S DOING
IN UKRAINE.
HE IS APPEASING CHINA.
HE DOESN’T HAVE AN ANSWER FOR
ANYTHING, AND WHEN IT HITS CLOSE
TO HOME, PEOPLE ARE LIKE, "I’M
DONE WITH YOU, AND DID SOMETHING
ELSE," BUT THEY’LL NEVER BE ABLE
TO ADMIT THAT.
DO YOUR POINT, THERE’S NO POINT
HEWAY HECAN PULL THE PLUG RIGHT
BECAUSE ALL THAT DOES IS UNLEASH
A FIRESTORM OF PEOPLE JOCKEYING
FOR 2024.
>> Harris: 100%.
>> Kennedy: DEMOCRATS THAT ARE
GOING TO TAKE ALL THE OXYGEN OUT
OF THE ROOM AND NOT MAKE IT ANY
BETTER.
>> Harris: AND DEMOCRATS WOULD
NOT BE CONCENTRATING ON ANY WAY,
SHAPE, OR FORM TO GET BIPARTISAN
RELIEF FOR AMERICANS COME
NOVEMBER IF THE HOUSE AND
POTENTIALLY EVEN THE SENATE WERE
TO FLIP.
NOBODY’S GOING TO DO THEIR JOBS
WITHIN THE SWAMP AT ALL BECAUSE
THEY WILL BE, "I THINK I’LL RUN
FOR THE SEAT."
>> Emily: THE MESSAGE THAT
KEEPS COMING OUT OF THIS
WHITE HOUSE IS TOTALLY
TONE-DEAF, IGNORING ALL THE
THINGS WE’VE TALKED ABOUT,
CONTINUES TO TRY AND PASTE THE
ROSY PICTURE.
"NOTHING TO SEE HERE, EVERYTHING
IS FINE."
