RUSH TRANSCRIPT DeSantis The ░░░░░░░░ challenger by more than ░░░░░░░░ points Let s bring ░░░░░░░░ our panel a Matt ░░░░░░░░ to start with you ░░░░░░░░ is your take on ░░░░░░░░ Governor DeSantis is right ░░░░░░░░ What it would take ░░░░░░░░ him to knock President ░░░░░░░░ off that perch One ░░░░░░░░ the things I would ░░░░░░░░ is secretary shouldn t ░░░░░░░░ been talking like that ░░░░░░░░ a national TV program ░░░░░░░░ Twitter It is like ░░░░░░░░ to a barbecue later ░░░░░░░░ with your wife and ░░░░░░░░ about how attractive the ░░░░░░░░ across the pool is ░░░░░░░░ that was a tactical ░░░░░░░░ on his part Everyone ░░░░░░░░ it s true Trump ░░░░░░░░ way ahead right now ░░░░░░░░ pretty fluid race as ░░░░░░░░ saw in the polling ░░░░░░░░ is the only other ░░░░░░░░ in double digits in ░░░░░░░░ 20s He has to ░░░░░░░░ out how to get ░░░░░░░░ rest of the field ░░░░░░░░ get behind him Donald ░░░░░░░░ is likely to be ░░░░░░░░ Republican nominee Rich I ░░░░░░░░ to get to more ░░░░░░░░ here Jonathan If you ░░░░░░░░ at what GOP presidential ░░░░░░░░ voters are telling us ░░░░░░░░ important is it to ░░░░░░░░ for a candidate who ░░░░░░░░ your views or can ░░░░░░░░ President Biden If you ░░░░░░░░ at extremely Republican voters ░░░░░░░░ 70 beating the current ░░░░░░░░ is mostly extremely important ░░░░░░░░ them You have go ░░░░░░░░ how that factors between ░░░░░░░░ former president and the ░░░░░░░░ of Florida right now ░░░░░░░░ they say 57 give ░░░░░░░░ the electability nod 63 ░░░░░░░░ Trump the nod on ░░░░░░░░ The argument that most ░░░░░░░░ the former president s ░░░░░░░░ are making is that ░░░░░░░░ lost in 2020 He ░░░░░░░░ at the head of ░░░░░░░░ ticket in 2018 at ░░░░░░░░ even though he wasn ░░░░░░░░ on the ticket He ░░░░░░░░ the leader of the ░░░░░░░░ in 2018 and 2022 ░░░░░░░░ he was getting involved ░░░░░░░░ the mid term elections ░░░░░░░░ that they can t ░░░░░░░░ with him What is ░░░░░░░░ Can the Republican Party ░░░░░░░░ with Donald Trump at ░░░░░░░░ helm again I think ░░░░░░░░ has said no He ░░░░░░░░ one election and has ░░░░░░░░ proven to be a ░░░░░░░░ every other time I ░░░░░░░░ t understand why Republicans ░░░░░░░░ think their most important ░░░░░░░░ is electability still back ░░░░░░░░ He was beaten soundly ░░░░░░░░ Joe Biden there 2020 ░░░░░░░░ as a Democrat I ░░░░░░░░ he is the nominee ░░░░░░░░ 2024 because there is ░░░░░░░░ better match up for ░░░░░░░░ Biden than President Trump ░░░░░░░░ everything Trump talked about ░░░░░░░░ the campaign trail and ░░░░░░░░ during his presidency President ░░░░░░░░ actually has done He ░░░░░░░░ not making stuff up ░░░░░░░░ Trump did He is ░░░░░░░░ signing bills into law ░░░░░░░░ fake executive orders that ░░░░░░░░ t mean anything with ░░░░░░░░ giant sharpie If Republicans ░░░░░░░░ to talk about winning ░░░░░░░░ election they have to ░░░░░░░░ away from Donald Trump ░░░░░░░░ Ron DeSantis His biggest ░░░░░░░░ since getting in the ░░░░░░░░ people have gotten to ░░░░░░░░ him and don t ░░░░░░░░ like him He spends ░░░░░░░░ speech using woke as ░░░░░░░░ noun verb and adjective ░░░░░░░░ he is he can ░░░░░░░░ seen as more MAGA ░░░░░░░░ Donald Trump and it ░░░░░░░░ turning off voters Rich ░░░░░░░░ Anne Williamson is ripping ░░░░░░░░ DNC throwing its full ░░░░░░░░ behind Biden and refusing ░░░░░░░░ hold debates She is ░░░░░░░░ her second run for ░░░░░░░░ Oval Office as it ░░░░░░░░ against the notion of ░░░░░░░░ Here is that I ░░░░░░░░ t think it s ░░░░░░░░ for democracy I think ░░░░░░░░ is very important that ░░░░░░░░ democratic electorate get a ░░░░░░░░ to weigh in I ░░░░░░░░ at the campaign season ░░░░░░░░ a long job interview ░░░░░░░░ and the voters should ░░░░░░░░ a chance to interview ░░░░░░░░ of the candidates for ░░░░░░░░ job And that does ░░░░░░░░ the president What s ░░░░░░░░ how overt they are ░░░░░░░░ absolutely admitting they are ░░░░░░░░ what they can in ░░░░░░░░ primary season to support ░░░░░░░░ president Rich she stands ░░░░░░░░ 10 percent support in ░░░░░░░░ Fox News polls and ░░░░░░░░ F Kennedy Jr at ░░░░░░░░ President Biden at 64 ░░░░░░░░ you look at that ░░░░░░░░ Matt should the president ░░░░░░░░ debating and engaging in ░░░░░░░░ primary contest or is ░░░░░░░░ smart to just sit ░░░░░░░░ out and look towards ░░░░░░░░ the Republicans are going ░░░░░░░░ run Williamson has a ░░░░░░░░ point The DNC is ░░░░░░░░ the tank for Joe ░░░░░░░░ Joe Biden does not ░░░░░░░░ to be on the ░░░░░░░░ trail He does not ░░░░░░░░ to engage these primary ░░░░░░░░ because if he were ░░░░░░░░ debate either one of ░░░░░░░░ the tiger king it ░░░░░░░░ be a disaster for ░░░░░░░░ in his campaign To ░░░░░░░░ point earlier the Democrats ░░░░░░░░ hoping to play hide ░░░░░░░░ seek with Joe Biden ░░░░░░░░ him in the White ░░░░░░░░ keep him in a ░░░░░░░░ audience and hope they ░░░░░░░░ to run against who ░░░░░░░░ want to run against ░░░░░░░░ the end of the ░░░░░░░░ the American people will ░░░░░░░░ Joe Biden on his ░░░░░░░░ years in office and ░░░░░░░░ every polling measure on ░░░░░░░░ issue he has been ░░░░░░░░ disaster Rich if you ░░░░░░░░ at the landscape is ░░░░░░░░ wise for the president ░░░░░░░░ not be fully out ░░░░░░░░ fully testing and challenging ░░░░░░░░ here He is playing ░░░░░░░░ too safe I don ░░░░░░░░ think he is playing ░░░░░░░░ too safe The best ░░░░░░░░ strategy for President Biden ░░░░░░░░ to continue to be ░░░░░░░░ because he has been ░░░░░░░░ successful at being president ░░░░░░░░ should be going out ░░░░░░░░ to ribbon cuttings shovels ░░░░░░░░ the ground all of ░░░░░░░░ projects that are going ░░░░░░░░ be happening in the ░░░░░░░░ 2 3 4 years ░░░░░░░░ of legislation he has ░░░░░░░░ the infrastructure act All ░░░░░░░░ those bills are helping ░░░░░░░░ s lives and he ░░░░░░░░ campaign on that but ░░░░░░░░ as a successful president ░░░░░░░░ far as Williamson and ░░░░░░░░ These are not serious ░░░░░░░░ He should not debate ░░░░░░░░ or give them air ░░░░░░░░ I would say it ░░░░░░░░ the Fourth of July ░░░░░░░░ chest nut is better ░░░░░░░░ to talk about the ░░░░░░░░ than those two There ░░░░░░░░ no reason for the ░░░░░░░░ to engage these two ░░░░░░░░ Rich Joey Chestnut a ░░░░░░░░ third party challenger Crazier ░░░░░░░░ have happened Thank you ░░░░░░░░ for joining us.
