Political Chessboard: Shapiro or Kelly for VP, Biden's Leadership, and the 2024 Campaign Dynamics
Josh Shapiro or Mark Kelly for vice-president? Weighing the political chessboard, we dissect the strengths Shapiro brings with his popularity as Pennsylvania's governor and the strategic leverage of Kelly's endorsement by Barack Obama. The discussion doesn't shy away from unflattering listener comments about JD Vance, who has risen as a top pick for Trump's VP under the influence of Trump's sons. We also explore Kamala Harris's reintroduction to the campaign scene and Trump's reluctance to engage her in debate, setting the stage for a heated political clash.
Is President Biden fit to lead? We tackle the contentious issue of Biden's cognitive decline, brought into focus by Matt Gaetz's probing during FBI briefings. This chapter draws upon partisan perspectives and the broader implications for Biden's leadership. We then navigate the complex interactions between Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and Donald Trump's camp, teasing out potential endorsements and government positions. Kennedy Jr.'s accusations against the Democratic Party and his ongoing campaign add layers to the intricate dynamics of political maneuvering.
Trump's vaccination stance and the intriguing political landscape in Kentucky take center stage in our final segment. We scrutinize Trump's contradictory messages tailored to different audiences, alongside RFK Jr.'s tarnished reputation. Kamala Harris's campaign strategy, her focus on reproductive rights, and her critique of Trump's Supreme Court picks are analyzed, bolstered by significant endorsements from Barack and Michelle Obama. The episode concludes with a humorous yet poignant look at JD Vance's controversial comments and Governor Andy Beshear's light-hearted apology to Diet Mountain Dew, reflecting the absurdity and accountability in today's political discourse.
Welcome to the Darrell McLean Show. Independent media that will not reinforce tribalism. We have one planet, nobody is leaving, and let us reason together. Today is 7-26 of 2024. Happy Thursday. Let's get into our episode.
Speaker 1:We're going to start the show off by getting into some questions and comments I have on the show line. First question who has the highest probability of being vice president pick between Josh Shapiro and Mark Kelly? Also, who do you think will be the VP pick if not one of them? Thank you for the question. So the short answer, the short and sweet, is I was reading a lot of things that actually said that Barack Obama's pick for the presidential nomination was not originally Kamala Harris, that he thought Mark Kelly would be a very promising pick for the presidential race. So I have all I have been paying close attention that Kamala Harris is looking at Mark Kelly. Now, when it comes to Josh Shapiro, I think that that would also be someone to look at, simply because of the location of the state that Josh Shapiro is in. So, being that Josh Shapiro is the governor of Pennsylvania and he is a very popular governor of Pennsylvania is a very popular governor of Pennsylvania, I personally think that he would be a very intelligent choice if you can have a popular governor in a fairly red state and Shapiro, when you look at his polling, even polls well amongst republicans, so I think he would be a very powerful, very powerful running mate. Um over mark kelly. He also pulls in, uh has the likelihood of pulling pennsylvania with him at. Pennsylvania is needed to become the president of the United States Pennsylvania, michigan, wisconsin or definitely the states you gotta carry. So Josh Shapiro would be my pick if I was in this position personally.
Speaker 1:I did get some comments about JD Vance that were. I did get some comments about JD Vance that were not flattering. I got a comment that says JD Vance is a loser period. I'm not at all impressed with him. He won't get my vote ever. I don't care about his poverty, his wealth or his character, and his character is unreliable. He should have kept his opinion to himself about Trump. He's a sellout to advance himself, and so that was tough words for the pick of Donald Trump's vice president. I think I've said here before I did think that JD Pence would be the pick.
Speaker 1:It turns out that what actually pushed JD Vance towards the top of Trump's attention was his sons. His sons were very impressed with JD Vance and thought that he would be a good pick, and so of course now the media is going to do a dig, a dig of the bones and see what they can pull out of him, and the same thing will happen to josh shapiro. This is the time where there's going to be a reintroduction to Kamala Harris, and this is going to be an interesting 100 days that we have coming up here. I'm actually somewhat disappointed to somewhat have to report here that it does seem, at least at the moment, that it does seem, at least at the moment, that the Trump administration and the campaign, I should say, is not interested in having a head-to-head debate with one Kamala Harris. It would be put, of course, as the media would like to say, the prosecutor versus the felon or something of that, that are the prosecutor versus the convicted felon. I saw that in the Washington Post, and so I am somewhat disappointed.
Speaker 1:But I am not surprised when you think about the fact that Donald Trump did not want to participate in the primary. He didn't want to debate Nikki Haley, he did not want to debate Chris Christie, he did not want to debate Ron DeSantis. He stood on the sidelines and kind of took shots on true social and whatever media platforms he can get himself onto. But he, you know he was gladly, was glad to debate Joe Biden, who everybody kind of knew that was.
Speaker 1:I didn't think the first debate with them was flattering and I don't think the second debate did anybody any favors either, and I don't think the second debate did anybody any favors either. But I don't think that he wants to debate Kamala Harris because they do not know as of yet how to attack her, what to attack her on, and so I've been watching a lot of the things. It seems like they're just throwing a lot of things in that direction right now to see what will stick. At any rate, joe Biden addressed the nation and said that he was going to be dropping out. We had already covered that he was going to be dropping out, but he came out of hiding, as some like to say, after testing positive for COVID, and he addressed the nation, and this is what we're going to listen to a little bit of that right now, fellow.
Speaker 2:Americans. I'm speaking to you tonight from behind the Resolute Desk in the Oval Office. In this sacred space, I'm surrounded by portraits of extraordinary American presidents. Thomas Jefferson wrote the immortal words that guide this nation. George Washington showed us presidents are not kings. Abraham Lincoln implored us to reject malice. Franklin Roosevelt inspired us to reject fear. I review this office. I love my country more. It's been the honor of my life to serve as your president, but in the defense of democracy, which is at stake, I think it's more important than any title. I draw strength and I find joy in working for the American people. But this sacred task of perfecting our union, it's not about me. It's about you, your families, your futures. It's about we, the people, and we can never forget that, and I never have.
Speaker 2:I've made it clear that I believe America is at an inflection point, one of those rare moments in history when the decisions we make now determine our fate, of our nation and the world for decades to come. Yes, we're just going to have to choose between moving forward or backward, between hope and hate, between unity and division, between hope and hate, between unity and division. We have to decide. Do we still believe in honesty, decency, respect, freedom, justice and democracy. In this moment, we can see those we disagree with not as enemies but as fellow Americans. Can we do that? Does character and public life still matter?
Speaker 2:I believe I know the answer to these questions Because I know you, the American people, and I know this. We are a great nation because we are good people. I give my heart and my soul to our nation. Like so many others, I've been blessed a million times in return with the love and support of the American people. I hope you have some idea how grateful I am to all of you. The great thing about America is here. Kings and dictators do not rule. The people do. History is in your hands. History is in your hands. The power is in your hands. The idea of America lies in your hands.
Speaker 1:We just have to keep faith, keep the faith and remember who we are. We're the United States of America and there's simply nothing, nothing beyond our capacity, and we do it together. So let's act together, preserve our democracy, law, and may God protect our troops. Not necessarily remarkable or shocking, but still historic. We all knew, you know, that it was coming, that he was going to address the nation. We all knew that he was bowing out of the race and not going to seek re-election. What we did not know was what would actually be said, and there are two events that are going to, let's say, 20 years or so, be in the brazen attempt of someone to take his life, the failed assassination attempt, the CIA director, I'm sorry, the director of the Secret Service dropping out of her office. That will be in civics, and right up there there will be this president not seeking re-election and dropping out of the campaign, because it is so rare. Like I said before on a previous episode, the last time this happened was in 1968 with one Lyndon Baines Johnson.
Speaker 1:So here we are and we are living in historic times, and I just reflect on the seriousness of the moment. And then I asked us this question if we were in power, could we or would we have done the same thing? And when I think about people like ruth bader ginsburg or diane feinstein, you know these type of people who wielded power For decades, and even Anton Scalia. And people die in power, you know, and you just sit back and you think it's very, it must be very, very difficult to be sitting in positions of power and give it up. So whether we agree with Joe Biden, whether we agree with the policies and the positions that he has taken from the age of 29 to the age of 81, we could say that he at least has understood that his time has passed.
Speaker 1:Whether he was pushed there kicking or screaming is a different conversation, but when I think about all the other people who held on to power and died in power, it is just very rare to see someone actually step down and walk away from it. So I'm going to roll right into this next story and I'm going to try to be somewhat delicate with this, because I'm going to start off with my caveat of saying it's somewhat irrelevant whether a bullet struck the president or not, or whether it was shrapnel, or whether it was pieces of glass from the teleprompter, whatever, but because it did make the headlines and because it did happen, uh, christopher ray, who is the director of the fbi, had to sit down with Congress and is actually saying that the FBI at this point is actually not certain what struck the president, and that is news.
Speaker 3:I think, with respect to former President Trump, there's some question about whether or not it's a bullet or shrapnel that hit his ear. So it's conceivable, although as I sit here right now, I don't know whether that bullet, in addition to causing the grazing, could have also landed somewhere else. But I believe we've accounted for all of the shots in the cartridges, so let it.
Speaker 4:So listen, it's just a question, and Christopher Wray is saying he doesn't know. Now the political relevance would be Trump playing up. While he initially said it felt like a mosquito, later he said I knew it could only be a bullet. And we still kind of don't really know, in the sense that the FBI says we're not sure and we don't have a medical report from the hospital to look at. I know Ronny Jackson wrote a note about fixing up Trump's ear, but that doesn't really tell us anything about what happened at the hospital. So that's that. That's as far as the information has gotten Now. One other interesting moment from Christopher Wray's hearing is Congressman Matt Gaetz tried to go after Christopher Wray, suggesting he's part of some kind of cover up to hide.
Speaker 3:President Biden's cognitive decline Didn't go particularly well for Matt Gaetz, so when did you notice his decline? In my interactions in my role, all my interactions with the current president have been completely professional, right, but I mean his cognitive decline. I'm not saying he treated you unprofessionally, just maybe not picking things up as quickly as he used to. Current president been completely professional, right, but I mean his, the cognitive decline. I'm not saying he treated you unprofessionally, just maybe not picking things up as quickly as he used to. Again, I I don't meet with him very often, uh, but what you're describing is not something that I've observed during my interactions with him.
Speaker 5:I mean we've had it observed so often that the ranking member and mr schiff on this committee have said that he could no longer continue as a candidate, and so, since you're the FBI director, I was just sort of wondering, like who's running the country If something bad happened? I have to go brief, president Biden, about it right now.
Speaker 3:God forbid. And on any number of occasions I have briefed the president and, as I said, those briefings have all been uneventful and unremarkable.
Speaker 5:Oh, I can imagine them being uneventful, but in the work where the vice president's also present, like you say, there's like more than half the time there's these briefings.
Speaker 3:She's there too. I don't know if I said more than half the time. Certainly there have been times where she's been present. There have been other times where she hasn't.
Speaker 5:I take you at your word when you say this is the most complicated threat environment you've ever observed over a long career in law enforcement and I'm just kind of wondering, with this assassination attempt, with the invasion at our border, with all the Hamas that have been let in, that you've talked about and briefed about, like, is Biden up to it? And if he's not up to it, and you're a guy who's been regularly briefing him, like who's been in on this conspiracy to hide the real Joe Biden from all of us for years, it never occurred to you that this guy wasn't up to it in all these briefings you did.
Speaker 3:As I said, my briefings with the president have all been completely fine, were they? Between 10 am and 4 pm, there hasn't been anything of note in the area that you're talking about. Did you?
Speaker 5:ever have to brief him before 10 am or after 4 pm. We hear those are his good hours.
Speaker 3:I can't. I've certainly times that I have briefed. I've included outside those hours, right, okay.
Speaker 5:I just you know. I think the American people want to know how we got to this point. Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1:So what? Matt Gaetz was the store he was trying at. Uh, the FBI director was not interested in insuring. So I'll just say, say that it was a nice attempt, I guess, and that is somewhat normal.
Speaker 1:I've been hearing the narrative now from, uh in right-wing media if you cannot run, you cannot lead or something like that. The president's not fit to run for president and he's not fit to be the commander in chief. I got to admit I don't think that dog's going to hunt, simply because we know from a personal standpoint, some people are just bad at interviews. That doesn't mean they're not good at the job. You know that on a personal level and so it's just like yes, some people don't present well and they're very brilliant. Some people present very well and they're complete idiots. All of it is basically just, if you are looking at it from the partisan lens, you're going to make of it what you want to make of it. You're going to. Well, the guy stumbles and bumbles, but he's great at his job and he had a successful this many years of presidents. If you don't like him, you're going to say he stumbles and bumbles at his job and that's why he's had horrible uh years as president, you can kind of slice that uh pie however you'd like.
Speaker 1:On the last episode I talked about how it had been reported that the Trump camp rejected RFK's so Robert Kennedy Jr's offer to trade an endorsement for a government position. So Robert F Kennedy held talks with Donald Trump's team about a potential endorsement and job in the former president's second administration, according to the Washington Post. So the Post's Josh Daisley and Michael Scheer, citing four people familiar with the situation situation, reported on Monday that conversations about a Kennedy Jr endorsement begins shortly after the attempted assassination of Trump in Butler, pennsylvania earlier this month. He goes on to say I have a lot of respect for President Trump for reaching out to me. Nobody from the DNC, high or low, has reached out to me in 18 months. Instead, they have allocated millions to try to disrupt my campaign.
Speaker 1:Kennedy Jr said the independent presidential candidate would only say about the conversation that I am willing to talk to anybody from any political party who wants to talk about children's health and how to end chronic diseases and epidemics. He insisted he is counting. He is continuing his presidential campaign. According to the report from the Post, there were concerns among Trump's advisors that Kennedy Jr could be too problematic. President Trump met with RFK and they had a conversation about the issues, just as he does regularly with important figures in business and politics, because they all recognize he will be the next president of the United States. A Trump spokesman said Kennedy Jr previously apologized after a video was posted on social media that included a portion of a phone call he had with the former president. After the assassination attempt and interviews this week, kennedy Jr accused the Democratic Party of having rigged the primary system following President Joe Biden's announcing he is dropping from his re-election campaign.
Speaker 1:So yeah so even we all, kind of some somewhat seen this stuff before you get a peek behind the curtain of who people actually are and you kind of know, you know things are for sale and in this, this particular this was just, uh, kennedy, being a kennedy, I guess you know, hey, you know it was actually reported that that the trump administration thought all right, I keep saying trump administration, I apologize the Trump campaign staff thought it was too on the nose.
Speaker 1:Like this is too much of a quid pro quo. You can't ask us to give you a job like that for your endorsement. So so frank. But um, apparently that is what Kennedy did. Apparently he wanted a job in somewhere in the health and human services department. Apparently he wanted a job somewhere in the Health and Human Services Department, something like that, but President Trump and his campaign staff shut it down.
Speaker 1:But we still know it and the phone call is there for people who want to hear about it. And, to be honest, the phone call to me. I don't know what to make of it, because Trump is a salesman on one end, some say a con man on the other end. And what Trump does is he normally caters to the audience that he happens to be in front of, and so he's saying a lot of anti-vaccination things on the call with RFK.
Speaker 1:But you know you can find statements where Donald Trump is very pro-vaccine, very, very pro the vaccines. So I think that it's just a thing that Donald Trump is known to do, which is he flatters the people who is normally in front of him. So we're going to go ahead and not play that audio, but it does exist if you want to seek it out. I think RFK Jr has thoroughly, thoroughly tarnished his reputation which, um, he could. He could have stayed in a lane where somebody who questions the medical institutions and things of that nature very legitimate position to hold, but to pull yourself up as some type of uh, prostitute, it is not a great look.
Speaker 1:This is somebody who I was just saying is coming from the minority position that JFK wasn't a great president in the first place, and I have mixed feelings on Bobby Kennedy as well, but history kind of sometimes shines us all off, especially if we are mortared. And back to Kamala for one moment. She gave her initial talk speech campaign by presenting herself as the prosecutor versus the convicted felon. Presenting herself as the prosecutor versus the convicted felon. She then gave a speech where she discussed some of the ramifications of Project 2025, the 920-and-so-page document that you can go read for yourself. And she now is going for President Trump former President Trump on what I think is going to be the Democratic Party's most strident position that they'll be taking, which is the abortion topic.
Speaker 8:We who believe that every person in our nation should be free from bigotry, discrimination and hate. We'll continue to fight for equality and justice for all, and we who believe in reproductive freedom will fight for a woman's right to choose, because one does not have to abandon their faith or deeply held beliefs to agree. The government should not be telling her what to do. You know, when he was president, Donald Trump former president handpicked three members of the United States Supreme Court because he intended for them to overturn Roe v Wade, the United States Supreme Court, previously the court of Thurgood and RBG and, as the attendant, they did. Well, let me tell you something when I am president of the United States and when Congress passes a law to restore those freedoms, I will sign it into law.
Speaker 1:So Kamala Harris has come out swinging and has somewhat started to try to strike at what she thinks is going to be the talk about the border, and that's going record as, whatever you want to think about the long business acumen of Donald Trump and the trials in New York where he was found guilty of the business record frauds etc. So, 100 or so days to the campaign and this is what we will, the fight is on, I guess. And Ms Harris did get an endorsement from some people who had seemed to be holding out and it was a very popular endorsement for her to get and that was from Barack and Michelle Obama. The media, in that bone-picking of JD Vance that I said they were going to talk about, they highlighted some of JD Vance that I said they were going to talk about. They highlighted some of his old comments, and that's what was played on the news a lot this week. Kamala.
Speaker 8:Hello, hi, hey there, oh hi, you're both together. Oh, it's good to hear you both. I can't have this phone call without saying to my girl, kamala I am proud of you. This is going to be historic. We call to say, michelle, and I couldn't be prouder to endorse you and to do everything we can to get you through this election and into the Oval Office. Oh, my goodness, michelle Brock, this means so much to me, michelle Brock, this means so much to me. I am looking forward to doing this with the two of you, doug and I both, and getting out there, being on the road. But most of all, I just want to tell you the words you have spoken and the friendship that you have given over all these years mean more than I can express. So thank you both. It means so much, and we're going to have some fun with this too, aren't we? It is the weirdest thing to me Democrats say that it is racist means so much, and we're going to have some fun with this too, aren't we it is the weirdest thing to me.
Speaker 9:Democrats say that it is racist to believe. Well, they say it's racist to do anything. I had a dive Mountain Dew yesterday and one today. I'm sure they're going to call that racist too.
Speaker 6:But it's good. I love you guys. What was weird was him joking about racism today and then talking about Diet Mountain Dew. Who drinks Diet Mountain Dew? Folks? I've been a person that when sometimes I've gone over the line, I've wanted to make sure that I set the record straight. So I do owe an apology to Diet Mountain Dew. Ala 1 is definitely the soft drink of Kentucky, but I don't believe the government should be making your decisions. So if you enjoy Diet Mountain Dew, UBU, we want to support you. And to Diet Mountain Dew very sorry, Didn't mean to say negative things about you.
Speaker 1:So that was the governor of Kentucky, f at the end, andy Beshear and JD Vance at the beginning. Kind of not serious, more serious nature of our politics. But that's just the back and forth that's happening in Kentucky at the moment.
Speaker 9:Statements to try to categorize who he is by what he was, and so, like I said, the media played up that a lot this week as well. We're effectively run in this country via the democrats, via our corporate oligarchs, by a bunch of childish cat ladies who are miserable at their own lives and the choices that they've made, and so they want to make the rest of the country miserable too. And it's just a basic fact. You look at Kamala Harris, pete Buttigieg, aoc. The entire future of the Democrats is controlled by people without children, and how does it make any sense that we've turned our country over to people who don't really have a direct stake in it?
Speaker 9:When you go to the polls in this country as a parent, you should have more power, you should have more of an ability to speak your voice in our democratic republic than people who don't have kids. Let's face the consequences and the reality. If you don't have as much of an investment in the future of this country, maybe you shouldn't get nearly the same voice. Now people will say and I'm sure the Atlantic and the Washington Post and all the usual suspects will criticize me about this in the coming days well, doesn't this mean that non-parents don't have as much of a voice as parents? Doesn't this mean that parents get a bigger say in how our democracy functions? Yes, absolutely.
Speaker 1:So, of course, there's a reason that they highlighted those particular words yes, absolutely, that they will need to win the election, and that would be women, independent, suburban women. And so JD Vance and Donald Trump are going to have to work very hard to not be what we kind of know that they are, which is two people who present themselves as alpha males. They have to figure out how to present themselves in such a way that they do not turn off women. So we will see if they can square that circle, if they can get that task done. Interesting start to a campaign that had been seen as particularly boring.
Speaker 1:Benjamin Netanyahu visited the United States Congress again, again to deliver a propaganda speech about himself and the war front that he has been conducting in Israel and the war between Israel and I don't even know who to call it Israel, hamas, israel, whatever and um it split, which I knew that it would the Democratic Party. He got a rounding standing ovation, etc. From the Republicans, as he tends to do, but Democrats a lot of them did not go to the speech. So the most important thing you should know was in 2015, 50 Democrats in Congress boycotted Netanyahu's speech to Congress. This week, it was 136 Democrats that boycotted the speech. So that means that Netanyahu and the work of AIPAC are actually starting to lose people.
Speaker 1:In the Democratic Party Party, the representative that is the most popular young Democrat would be Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, the socialist candidate who won in New York and has said it is a dark day in US history when an authoritarian with a warrant request from the International Criminal Court is allowed to address choices of Congress. 40 plus K Palestinians are dead. Hostages are at home. Netanyahu is a war criminal. I'll be boycotting his address. One of the longest reigning socialists in the United States and a Jewish American as well, bernie Sanders, said Netanyahu is a war criminal. We must do everything in our power to end the war in Gaza and provide immediate humanitarian relief to those who are suffering. And Bernie Sanders went on To give a bit of an address After the Netanyahu speech as well.
Speaker 10:No, Mr Netanyahu, it is not anti-Semitic or pro-Hamas To point out that in a little over six months, your extremist government has killed 34,000 Palestinians and wounded more than 78,000, 70% of whom are women and children.
Speaker 7:It is not anti-Semitic, to point out that your bombing has completely destroyed more than 221,000 housing units in Gaza, leaving more than a million people homeless almost half the population. Israel's Prime Minister Netanyahu is set to address a joint meeting of Congress with pressure mounting to deliver a ceasefire and bring the surviving hostages home after nine months of brutal war in Gaza. Meanwhile, israel's military pummeling southern Gaza Monday in a safe zone, it says, targeting militants, but killing at least 70, injuring 200.
Speaker 10:You do not honor a foreign leader by addressing a joint session of Congress who is currently engaged in creating the worst humanitarian disaster in the modern history of this country. Do not insult the intelligence of the American people by attempting to distract us from the immoral and illegal war policies of your extremist and racist government. Do not use anti-Semitism to deflect attention from the criminal indictment you are facing in the Israeli courts. It is not anti-Semitic to hold you accountable for your actions.
Speaker 1:So and you know this is going to be a big battle that is going to be waged in the Democratic Party for the next few years we will keep abreast to the politics of it all, without trying to lose the humanity of the situation. I will say, like I said before a lot of times, people are punished for decisions that politicians and terrorist groups and people in power make that they themselves did not make. This is kind of always the story the innocent suffer and the politicians plan and profit the rich and the rest of us, the poverty manifesto. Thank you for tuning in and I'll see you on the next episode.
