Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: All right, John, thank you for a Biden pressed Secretary
- 0:02Speaker 1: Queen Jean Pierre, meanwhile turning on the Dems in her
- 0:04Speaker 1: new memoir, writing quote, Biden seemed to be totally at
- 0:08Speaker 1: peace with his decision to drop out of the race.
- 0:11Speaker 1: But I was stunned. My feelings a blur. I was
- 0:13Speaker 1: angry and sad. I was enraged and heartbroken that this
- 0:16Speaker 1: man had given more than fifty years of his life
- 0:19Speaker 1: to serving the American people, and in the end he's
- 0:21Speaker 1: been treated poorly by members of his own party. It
- 0:24Speaker 1: was horrible. You know what, I'm going to become an independent.
- 0:27Speaker 1: I don't think I can stomach being in the Democratic
- 0:30Speaker 1: Party anymore. Let's bring in former Biden Deputy Cabinet secretary
- 0:34Speaker 1: Dan Coe is joining us now, Dan, welcome to you.
- 0:37Speaker 1: Thank you so much for joining us. So are you
- 0:39Speaker 1: buying what qureem Jean Pierre is selling.
- 0:42Speaker 2: Look, in terms of the Democratic Party, this weekend was
- 0:44Speaker 2: a good analogy. I saw Democrats, Republicans, independents who were
- 0:48Speaker 2: protesting in the millions against a president who was trying
- 0:51Speaker 2: to silence us. And the analogy was apt when the
- 0:54Speaker 2: president uploaded a video of himself in a king.
- 0:57Speaker 1: So, Dan, so are you going to answer the question?
- 0:59Speaker 2: Yes, I will, but he's going to be a moment
- 1:01Speaker 2: literally defecating on people exercising their right to free speech.
- 1:04Speaker 2: I don't think a constitutional a constitutional right.
- 1:07Speaker 1: Okay, right, And so I let's go back to the
- 1:10Speaker 1: question and stick to the point. Are you buying what
- 1:14Speaker 1: Kareem John Pierre is selling that she had no view
- 1:18Speaker 1: of President Biden's decline.
- 1:20Speaker 3: I can't speak to what she saw.
- 1:22Speaker 2: What I can speak to, though, is I am not
- 1:24Speaker 2: buying the idea that we should leave the Democratic Party
- 1:26Speaker 2: because I saw a Democratic Party that was energized this weekend,
- 1:30Speaker 2: that is fighting against taking away people's health care. And
- 1:33Speaker 2: I was proud of the party and I was proud
- 1:35Speaker 2: of our country this weekend.
- 1:36Speaker 1: Okay, So did you personally witness his decline while you
- 1:40Speaker 1: were in the White House?
- 1:41Speaker 3: This is what I saw.
- 1:42Speaker 2: And I was in charge of hurricane response for the
- 1:44Speaker 2: president in many ways. I was in the White House
- 1:47Speaker 2: and the Oval Office with him when he was on
- 1:49Speaker 2: the phone with the mayor of Canton, North Carolina, population
- 1:52Speaker 2: five thousand, for twenty minutes talking at length.
- 1:55Speaker 3: About what that mayor needed. Was Joe Biden old? Absolutely,
- 1:59Speaker 3: he was, But the care does what does that mean?
- 2:03Speaker 3: He reminded you of your grandfather? Did?
- 2:06Speaker 1: I don't know what that means?
- 2:07Speaker 2: Did I will tell you. Did he walk a little
- 2:09Speaker 2: slower than he used to? Did he talk a little
- 2:11Speaker 2: slower than used to? Absolutely? But I never once doubted
- 2:14Speaker 2: his ability to be the president and where his values were.
- 2:17Speaker 2: And you contrast that with President Trump, who wouldn't even
- 2:20Speaker 2: call Tim Walls when reponinless A Hortman was assassinated.
- 2:23Speaker 3: To me, that's disgraceful.
- 2:24Speaker 1: Do you believe he has mental decline? Now?
- 2:27Speaker 2: I do not, And I saw very clearly in the
- 2:29Speaker 2: Oval Office a president who had his value straight and
- 2:32Speaker 2: who I was proud to serve.
- 2:33Speaker 1: Okay, so this is a brand new interview cream Jean Pierre.
- 2:36Speaker 1: She is out there selling her book and she appeared
- 2:39Speaker 1: on CBS. She was talking about being as you were,
- 2:44Speaker 1: a part of Biden's inner circle and in the White House.
- 2:47Speaker 1: She's making the case that she did not see that
- 2:50Speaker 1: decline and many are wondering how that can possibly be
- 2:53Speaker 1: the case.
- 2:53Speaker 4: Watch here, you said you're a member of the inner
- 2:57Speaker 4: circle and you never saw the decline. After that, I wrote,
- 3:01Speaker 4: how you even write Korean? That you were on the
- 3:03Speaker 4: plane with him going to the debate and you didn't
- 3:06Speaker 4: see anything. Well, when we were we were on an
- 3:09Speaker 4: Air Force one going on the going to the debate.
- 3:11Speaker 4: You got to remember his campaign people were on the team,
- 3:14Speaker 4: his family was on the team. I actually was one
- 3:16Speaker 4: of those rare trips that I didn't really see him
- 3:19Speaker 4: until after the debate, even though I was on the plane.
- 3:22Speaker 4: So really, I take I want everybody to know that
- 3:25Speaker 4: I take this question incredibly seriously.
- 3:28Speaker 1: I do.
- 3:29Speaker 4: I was his White House Press secretary, which means I
- 3:32Speaker 4: had a role that saw him practically every day and
- 3:34Speaker 4: traveled with him, saw for more than ninety five percent.
- 3:37Speaker 4: We've always said, we're not going to say, oh he
- 3:40Speaker 4: didn't age. He aged, and he poked fun at it.
- 3:43Speaker 4: We always owned up and with age comes what happens
- 3:47Speaker 4: when you get older. I I but when we talk
- 3:50Speaker 4: about the mental acuity, and again I take this very
- 3:54Speaker 4: very seriously, I never saw anyone who wasn't there. I
- 3:58Speaker 4: saw someone who was all engage. I saw someone who
- 4:01Speaker 4: understood policy, pushed us on the policy, and also understood history.
- 4:08Speaker 1: And as part of this tour, I mean she continues
- 4:11Speaker 1: to slam Democrats and your party to the point where
- 4:15Speaker 1: she said she's left the party. I mean, how do
- 4:17Speaker 1: you respond to her?
- 4:19Speaker 2: Look, I can't speak for what Kareem feels, but as
- 4:21Speaker 2: I say, under Joe Biden drugs, for the first time,
- 4:25Speaker 2: we're able to negotiate the price position drugs, hearing aids
- 4:28Speaker 2: were cheaper, we had cleaner bating.
- 4:30Speaker 1: As for you to speak for her feelings, I asked,
- 4:32Speaker 1: how do you respond to the shots she's taking at
- 4:35Speaker 1: your party?
- 4:36Speaker 2: I say that I am proud of the values and
- 4:38Speaker 2: what we accomplish as a Democratic Party under the Biden administration.
- 4:41Speaker 2: And when you contrast with the fact that currently people
- 4:44Speaker 2: are many people in this country are about to see
- 4:46Speaker 2: their premiums go up by over ten thousand dollars, I
- 4:49Speaker 2: think the contrast is clear for the American people.
- 4:51Speaker 1: Would you have done anything differently while you were serving
- 4:54Speaker 1: in that White House?
- 4:55Speaker 2: I am proud to have served an administration that we're
- 4:58Speaker 2: fighting for working people, most worker friendly administration in history,
- 5:02Speaker 2: versus a president who took away a million people's collective
- 5:04Speaker 2: bargaining rights in our government.
- 5:05Speaker 1: So there are dozens of Democrat candidates who are not
- 5:09Speaker 1: committing to backing Jeffries.
- 5:11Speaker 2: Are you, I think that if we are able to
- 5:13Speaker 2: win back the House, then the Minority Leader Jeffries deserves
- 5:16Speaker 2: to the speaker.
- 5:17Speaker 3: Absolutely he does. Got it all right.
- 5:19Speaker 1: Thank you very much, sir. Good to have you on.
- 5:21Speaker 3: Thank you, thank you very much.
