From Monday’s 7/22/24 Show:

Tony Katz:

Turns out that Joe Biden. Joe Biden did not call. The chief of staff called. Joe Biden did not reach out to his staff. They found out on social media. They found out on X, formerly Twitter. That he was getting out of the race. What we’re seeing here is Joe Biden announces via a statement that he will not run for reelection. He then puts out a second statement on social media endorsing Kamala Harris. You’ve had many Democrats fall in line. Some Democrats say no. Barack Obama has not endorsed yet and Joe Manchin. The senator from West Virginia who decides to go independent is now thinking of re-registering as a Democrat to be able to be the guy. There’s a lot happening here. Congresswoman Victoria Spartz joins me right now from the Indiana 5th District… no words from President Biden. No one has seen President Biden, were you, was this expected? What was your take? 

Rep Victoria Spartz

Well, I think, you know, uh, unfortunately it’s been an unprecedented cover up by Democrat party and by Biden’s team and his family by mainstream media and Vice President Harris. And I think you know that they put our country in danger. So, I think it was somewhat expected because when American people saw really what President Biden is about anymore, and he’s completely incapable to govern the country. They couldn’t continue do it anymore. There are some of them. They just understood that they all think that they’re so smart and everyone else is so stupid. But unfortunately for them, people still have some common sense, and they don’t believe all of their lies. I think it’s the discussion to have how they the Democrat Party try to lie and betray the American people. And so, part of democracy is now kicking out their candidate. They were all trying to say how great he was. So, I think this is very unprecedented.

Tony Katz:

Well, unprecedented is a word for it. But I think there’s a, a real question about the idea that if Joe Biden cannot run for reelection, he cannot serve. And right now, you have people like Van Jones on CNN saying that it’s like telling grandpa it’s time to take the car keys.

Tony continues

Yet somehow, we’re supposed to let him keep driving the country for seven months. Then there are the people who will tell you that Republicans are pouncing or seizing on this idea that Joe Biden cannot run the country. In your view, Congresswoman, are we safe with Joe Biden as president of the United States right now?

Rep Victoria Spartz:

Unfortunately, he hasn’t been, you know, able to govern this country for, you know, I mean, from his policy views here, I don’t think he ever governed well. But in the last few years, you can obviously see that his mental capabilities went downhill. And really this is where the total lie for the American people put our country in danger. I mean, who are the diplomats in Europe that do not particularly care about a lot of Republicans, including President and I, President Trump and I, because we told them the truth, you know, about how Europe, what Europe needs to do, not to do. They were laughing at him recently.

Spartz continues

They couldn’t defend him. And they felt that you no matter what’s happening, this is very dangerous for the leader of the United States to be so incompetent. I think there is a serious discussion about 25th Amendment and Vice President Harris, who could be potential nominee of the party, what she tried to cover up and what she was trying to do to is just through the lie to the people.

Spartz continues:

So, I think a discussion to have it is a discussion to how procedurally so many Democrats supported, you know, voted for nominee and now is going to be replacing him on the ticket. You know, because they couldn’t continue this anymore. There’s so many questions. And I think the other side has to become much more honest. This is something for the American people to see. But ultimately, they try to fool the American people and now they put themselves in a situation where they in a lot of issues are shooting themselves in the foot. They’re going to start really seeing the consequence of that. Even dishonest mainstream media cannot continue in this collusion of media and the government and businesses and really, truly to have someone to govern the country that is completely incompetent to do that.
