The Democratic party has a very obvious leader problem. You think? But the aging
establishment is refusing to let go. My God, they just have to hang on. The quick, look,
here's the quick news, Biden, 79. Pelosi, 82. A majority whip, our majority whip is, is 81.
Durban is 81. He's, you know, these, it's like fossil fuel up there right now. It's Jurassic
Park goes to Washington. Give me your take on it. Well, look, this is something I'm really glad the
media is starting to talk about these issues because you and I have been mentioning this
for years now and it is starting to gain traction. You have more and more people coming out talking
about the ages of these individuals. Some of it has to do clearly with Biden with his age. That
is a huge story out right now. But also I think I gotta give most of this credit to Diane Feinstein,
you know, who is gonna be 90. Yeah.
And the fact that. Is she still, I mean,
if you put a, if you put a mirror under her nose, will it create condensation? That's what, every
time I look at this woman, It think, good God. But, but when those stories came out a couple
months ago saying she doesn't recognize people on the hill, like her staffers,
she doesn't know them. Yeah.
Her colleagues, she doesn't recognize them. That kind of kickstarted the conversation a little bit
with most normal, you know, non-political news consumers saying, wait a minute, if we have
members of Congress that pharmacists have said, yeah, I filled Alzheimer's prescriptions for them.
Mm-hmm. I can't tell you who, but I have. We have people
that have just basically aged out. You know, we, as a society, tend to look at people, you know,
whether it's accurate or not, but once you hit your eighties, we say, okay, well this person,
you probably shouldn't be driving a car. You need help getting around. And yet that's what we have
in, in leadership. Yeah.
Making our laws. We wouldn't trust these people to drive a car.
Watch all of them from Biden to Pelosi, halting speech, constant gaffs. Almost a, a need to take
breaks because they're over, they're overwhelmed with, with the pressures. But nevertheless,
the Democrats, for some reason, ended up with it worse than the Republicans.
They, they. And that's interesting to me.
What, gimme your take on that? I mean. Well, they really did. I mean, you know,
the Republicans have been trending younger. They appoint younger justices
to the Supreme Court, to the federal courts. They understand that we have to pass the torch
to this new generation. These folks on the Democratic side are unwilling to do that.
Yeah. I, I think of John F. Kennedy, when he came into office, he said the torch has been
passed. He was one of the youngest presidents at that point. Torch has been passed. We,
we have a new way that we look, out of there came Camelot and the whole notion of Camelot was a new,
fresh Democratic party. Politics are fresh again. These folks are hanging on for their life. I guess
it's a good money maker for Pelosi because she's the insider for insider trading for the old man
who's making a bundle of money. So I, I don't know. I, I, I, I guess it's just an
economic decision. But why did the Democrats allow it to happen? That's the problem.
I don't, well, you know, what's important to point out too, is when Kennedy gave that speech,
these people were either teenagers or in their early twenties.
Really. Yeah. I, I mean, so they say,
okay, the torch has been passed to us. I guess somebody has to come along and remind them,
you have to pass the torch as well. Yeah.
You don't get to hold it for the next 70 years. Yeah.
You've gotta find new people. Clean, clean the house.
Yeah. Clean the house. If they don't,
you've got younger voters that these, they, these folks could be the great grandparents, understand
the great grandparents of younger voters. Right. And, and the, you know, these are the
people that think that, oh, we can put on the little Kente cloths and kneel down and that's.
That's cool. That's enough for
these people. That's all they want. Nancy Pelosi calling the Green New Deal the, the green thing.
Some of it is. I mean, that's, that's the amazing thing. Some Democrats look at it like,
oh yeah, this is okay. They have a lot of experience. Thank you for joining me,
