s on board just to say, "Well we'll wait and see how this turns out. Let's not judge this too soon. Let's see how it turns out." Yeah.

Now of course plenty of people would be nationalists and plenty of people would be benefiting from the cartels and so you're always going to get lots of disagreement on anything but I got a feeling a lot of the public would be okay with it. I mean if you've got dogs scaring around body parts where you live you're going to be looking for an alternative.

All right. As was noted, CNN might not have tweeted this or had this news story a year ago. Here's the actual headline on CNN talking about the vaccinations: "New boosters add limited protection against COVID-19 illness."

Did you expect CNN ever to say that the boosters don't help that much? Yeah, yeah.

Now can we take a moment to once again give CNN a little bit of credit, right? Every time they do something right I feel like I should call it out and this looks like straight reporting to me. That's just great reporting. So good job as far as that goes.

So I have a theory. The Democrats vote mostly for policy and Republicans vote mostly for personality, leadership I'd say. Now of course both sides consider all variables. They both consider the leadership, they both consider the policies. But do you think that you could ever get a Democrat, I'm sorry do you think you could get a Republican candidate like let's say with just the general capabilities of Biden, Fetterman, Adam Schiff or Swalwell?

I mean I feel like Republicans say first we're going to start with are you a functioning human being? You have some leadership skills. And you say well Trump, you know, lots of leadership skills. DeSantis, lots of leadership skills. You know Abbott, leadership skills. And Lindsey Graham exists, you know, lots of exceptions, lots of exceptions of course.

But in our current mode don't you think that the Democrats can literally run anybody? Am I wrong? I think the Democrats are okay with having somebody who's just like a seat filler or a proxy for the policies that they like. I think as long as they get their policies they don't really care who it is. And I feel like the Republicans are a little bit more maybe more tuned to strength of leadership.

You know, maybe isn't there some science about that that Republicans are like strong leaders? Did it, I think I saw that. So it kind of makes sense. It kind of makes sense that there's no bench for the Democrats but it might not make any difference at all. In fact I'm going to predict that the quality of the candidate for president probably won't be a factor at least on the Democrat side.

But on the Republican side if the Republicans are not all happy with the leadership qualities of the candidate that's the problem. So I think you could get Democrats to vote for literally any individual long as a Republican Democrat but I feel like Republicans are going to be a little more judgy about the leadership capabilities of the specific person. So that's a problem for Trump.

Have you ever seen a time when we had fewer genuine leaders in this country? Is it my imagination that leadership is largely gone away? Right, it seems like there's an enormous vacuum and I don't just mean that Biden is weak. That's part of the story but it feels like nobody's strong, right? Because Trump has been suppressed and he's off of Twitter and everything else even though Musk is teasing it back with funny memes which is hilarious.

But we've never had less leadership and I feel like some of that void is being filled by the internet dads, you know the actual internet dads influence. So there's definitely a shift happening I think.

And more to my point the two, you know some of the most provocative or let's say what do I want to say, extreme I don't know candidates on the right. So think about the people who get the most criticism on the right. Let's say Marjorie Taylor Greene and Boebert. Let's just pick two of those characters. Don't you notice that both of them are both strong leaders like the personality wise? They just like scream leadership.

But you might not like some things they do. You might not like some things they said. You might not like their policies but wouldn't you agree that they're both very strong charismatic leaders? So you can dislike them for any number of things but you can't deny that when they're on camera they project a strength. It's very Republican thing. I'm not saying it's good or bad. It's just an observation that could explain a few things.

All right. And the Republicans don't really have, the Republicans are in real trouble you know, right? Because if you say to yourself well you got Trump. If people decide him he's been president. That's a strong choice. And then you look at your Republican bench and you say, "Scott, that Republican bench looks pretty strong." What's it going to look like after Trump is done with them? It's going to look like you're going to have a Trump that a third or more of Republicans aren't happy with and then all of the options will be destroyed. So we're not going to have much left to choose from by the time we're done.

All right. Did you see the spokesperson for Biden, Karine Jean-Pierre? W
