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.
