didn't want this matchup they didn't
want Biden or Trump um most Americans
are sick of having to vote for this
choice right
America the world's oldest
greatest democracy we've got Biden
versus Trump so just the fact of having
someone who isn't super old someone who
can actually communicate
kamla Harris is
what in her late 50s she's going to seem
like a teenager uh a very mature
teenager compared to Biden and Trump so
I think her candidacy will get a lot of
people excited a lot of Democrats
excited a lot of people like me excited
who are never trumpers who just weren't
excited um
when it when it came to Joe
Biden will there be anyone to really
give her a run for her money to
challenge her for this
nomination no way no how no way no how
uh for one very important reason and one
very practical reason the important
reason is for the Democratic party
there's no way the Democratic party
would step around walk around um uh the
first uh uh black female vice president
um that is a major aspect of the
democratic party's
constituency um
secondly Joe Biden
picked her when Joe Biden picked KLA
Harris Joe Biden told the American
people this woman can and is qualified
to become president and then just
practically speaking it's three and a
half four months
remember it wasn't the Joe Biden
reelection campaign it was the Biden
Harris reelection campaign so everything
can now just seamlessly flow to kamla
Harris it makes the most sense you know
but at the same time the Trump campaign
is now able to stick some of those same
criticisms that they had of Joe Biden on
Harris would
in particular which criticisms are you
referring to well I mean anything that
they have said that he has been weak on
moving like I'm just saying you know
it's the same it's the same ticket to
them as what they're going to bill so
what do you think is happening behind
the scenes there when it comes to the
Republican strategy now moving
forward that's a great point and a great
question and an important question and
I can tell you this right now the most
unhappy people in America right now are
Donald Trump his campaign and his
supporters they were salivating at the
opportunity to run against 81y old Joe
Biden Joe Biden's a good man but Joe
Biden is incapable of communicating and
making the case against Trump trump and
his team knew that they know KLA Harris
can make that case and and they also
know that kamla Harris is going to
generate a lot of excitement uh from
young people and people of color
throughout this country who just were
not really excited and maybe we're
thinking about staying at home in
November the Trump campaign is scared
about this they will not know how to
handle this and the other point I'd make
is Donald Trump is a coward He's a Bully
he's always going after people but he's
always had a difficult time attacking
strong women this will not be easy for
him we certainly saw that in that uh
rally last night in Michigan where he
asked the crowd if they would rather he
go up against Joe Biden uh or kamla
Harris that was a huge Roar when he he
said Joe Biden
so certainly the crowd uh
on on side with what you're saying there
as well but you know there the last few
weeks has been uh such a difficult
uphill climb uh for the Democrats for
Joe Biden since that debate and a lot of
damage has been done even within uh the
uh the rank and file of the party from
uh traditional democratic voters but
mainly for those who are uh maybe on the
fence a and uh maybe would potentially
uh vote for Donald Trump in the election
so how
much uh sort of damage control uh needs
to be done now and how quickly does that
that need to
happen right away there does need to be
some damage control done but right away
and a lot of this is on Joe Biden um and
I I can't emphasize this enough from the
very beginning of this campaign Joe
Biden has had one thing and one thing
only to prove that he's not too old he
couldn't prove that uh God bless him but
he proved the exact opposite so this was
on him to do this Joe Biden has said
repeatedly like I've said repeatedly
every time I go on television Donald
Trump is an existential threat to our
democracy it was imperative that Biden
realized he's not the person now who can
defeat Trump um I like the fact I think
it's super important that Biden endorsed
kamla Harris that today that's gonna
send send a signal to every Democrat um
to get up and get out there and we've
got three and a half four months to go
again this is these are crazy times in
America I
I think people are
underestimating how much enthusiasm this
will bring just having a candidate who's
not like 80 years old and a candidate
who can actually talk and fire people up
I mean this is this is a big deal you
know we're expecting to hear from Joe
Biden uh within the week uh I don't know
if we have actually got a timing on that
uh yet for when he is expected to
address the nation but certainly there
will be a lot of eyes on that address uh
what do you think the American public
want to hear from him
now I think they want to hear a
full-throated uh uh um summation of what
I just said uh by Joe Biden because the
focus of this campaign has to be Donald
Trump um uh
Donald Trump is is an
existential threat to our democ
the one thing we know for certain is
Trump's voters are enthusiastic and
they'll run through a wall for Trump but
there're are more people in America who
oppose Trump than support him
Joe Biden
has to remind America of that remind
America of what the threat is and what
this campaign should be about and then
put his armor around kamla Harris and
encourage and say that he's going to
work his tail off to help get his vice
president elected
he needs to set that
example Joe Walsh always great to talk
to you especially uh when there is
breaking news like this and lots to
watch uh from your country really
appreciate
never thanks very much we appreciate
your time Joe thanks
