1 00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:01,880 Speaker 1: As we are white, the US President to return to 2 00:00:01,920 --> 00:00:04,280 Speaker 1: Washington and talk the world through his decision momentum. A 3 00:00:04,320 --> 00:00:07,600 Speaker 1: Pea is to be growing behind Kamala Harris's a replacement candidate. 4 00:00:07,640 --> 00:00:10,160 Speaker 1: Money's flying as well as the endorsements, and the Republicans 5 00:00:10,160 --> 00:00:11,440 Speaker 1: are out on the campaign trail. 6 00:00:11,720 --> 00:00:17,360 Speaker 2: The idea of selecting the Democrat Party's nominee because George 7 00:00:17,360 --> 00:00:21,520 Speaker 2: Soros and Barack Obama and a couple of elite Democrats 8 00:00:21,560 --> 00:00:23,840 Speaker 2: got in a smoke filled room and decided to throw 9 00:00:23,920 --> 00:00:26,680 Speaker 2: Joe Biden overboard. That is not how it works. That 10 00:00:26,840 --> 00:00:30,120 Speaker 2: is a threat to democracy, not the Republican Party, which 11 00:00:30,400 --> 00:00:32,640 Speaker 2: is fighting for democracy every single day. 12 00:00:32,800 --> 00:00:36,160 Speaker 1: Now Republicans strategists informing about a Republican Party Chair Amy 13 00:00:36,200 --> 00:00:39,680 Speaker 1: ta Kenyan's with us. Amy, morning to you, thank you 14 00:00:39,720 --> 00:00:42,440 Speaker 1: for having me, not at all, Just broadly speaking, when 15 00:00:42,479 --> 00:00:44,000 Speaker 1: you go back to Butler and you look at what 16 00:00:44,040 --> 00:00:47,160 Speaker 1: happened on Sunday, your time with the with Biden stepping away, 17 00:00:47,159 --> 00:00:49,639 Speaker 1: do you feel like history's unfolding in front of your eyes. 18 00:00:50,720 --> 00:00:53,400 Speaker 3: Oh, one hundred percent. In fact, there's so many twists 19 00:00:53,400 --> 00:00:56,760 Speaker 3: and turns. This couldn't even be one of the best 20 00:00:56,960 --> 00:00:59,360 Speaker 3: movie scripts that anyone could even come up with on 21 00:00:59,400 --> 00:01:01,960 Speaker 3: their own. I mean, this has been completely wild. 22 00:01:02,520 --> 00:01:05,720 Speaker 1: How does how do you does the Republican Party handle 23 00:01:05,800 --> 00:01:09,440 Speaker 1: Kamala given Kalmla is not quite official until she is official, 24 00:01:09,480 --> 00:01:11,000 Speaker 1: and she may or may not be official. 25 00:01:12,600 --> 00:01:15,080 Speaker 3: Sure, well, I think, unfortunately, we're going to have a 26 00:01:15,240 --> 00:01:18,959 Speaker 3: very vicious next three months, since we have social media 27 00:01:19,160 --> 00:01:22,480 Speaker 3: and uh, you know, video that doesn't disappear. You're going 28 00:01:22,560 --> 00:01:25,080 Speaker 3: to have the three and the three being Donald Trump, 29 00:01:25,240 --> 00:01:28,840 Speaker 3: Jade Vance his VP choice, and then Kamala And we're 30 00:01:28,880 --> 00:01:31,640 Speaker 3: waiting to see who she chooses as her running mate. 31 00:01:31,640 --> 00:01:33,960 Speaker 3: But those three in particular, at this moment, there is 32 00:01:34,040 --> 00:01:37,600 Speaker 3: plenty of footage to use against one another, plenty of 33 00:01:37,680 --> 00:01:41,680 Speaker 3: verbiage to use, plenty of vitriol, plenty of of uh, 34 00:01:42,200 --> 00:01:46,240 Speaker 3: you know, very toxic uh words that could be used 35 00:01:46,280 --> 00:01:50,560 Speaker 3: against them, for for each side to to not like 36 00:01:50,680 --> 00:01:54,200 Speaker 3: about either of them. And so, you know, we are 37 00:01:54,240 --> 00:01:57,600 Speaker 3: in a day and age where I think that the 38 00:01:57,600 --> 00:02:01,480 Speaker 3: the knuckle uh you know, the beat downs are just 39 00:02:01,960 --> 00:02:04,960 Speaker 3: it's a whole nother level. It's not like back in 40 00:02:05,000 --> 00:02:06,880 Speaker 3: the day where you could sit there and just talk 41 00:02:06,920 --> 00:02:12,119 Speaker 3: about each other's views and issues and stances. And that's 42 00:02:12,120 --> 00:02:14,240 Speaker 3: really where we should be. But we don't do that anymore. 43 00:02:14,320 --> 00:02:19,160 Speaker 3: We're demeaning, we knock people down, We you know, mischaracterize 44 00:02:19,200 --> 00:02:21,079 Speaker 3: one another. And I think this is probably going to 45 00:02:21,120 --> 00:02:23,440 Speaker 3: be one of the most vicious we've ever seen. 46 00:02:23,960 --> 00:02:26,600 Speaker 1: Your answer indicates that the message from Joe Biden before 47 00:02:26,639 --> 00:02:28,400 Speaker 1: I lift to take the temperature down a bit's not 48 00:02:28,400 --> 00:02:30,640 Speaker 1: going to be listened to, and nothing changes. 49 00:02:31,720 --> 00:02:34,800 Speaker 3: No, it lasted maybe twenty four hours, and then you know, 50 00:02:34,840 --> 00:02:38,160 Speaker 3: as soon as that twenty four hours was up, you 51 00:02:38,280 --> 00:02:41,280 Speaker 3: already had the name, the name calling, you know, being 52 00:02:41,360 --> 00:02:46,240 Speaker 3: flown each at each other. And so I had high hopes, 53 00:02:46,320 --> 00:02:49,040 Speaker 3: but I knew it wasn't going to last. Unfortunately. 54 00:02:49,320 --> 00:02:51,840 Speaker 1: What's your assessment of Kamala Harris. Let's assume she is 55 00:02:51,840 --> 00:02:55,040 Speaker 1: it is she bogged down by the Biden administration, or 56 00:02:55,080 --> 00:02:57,680 Speaker 1: does she potentially open up a whole new field of 57 00:02:57,760 --> 00:03:00,000 Speaker 1: voters who maybe weren't going to go that way because 58 00:03:00,160 --> 00:03:01,800 Speaker 1: they couldn't hold their nose enough. 59 00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:05,560 Speaker 3: Sure well, let me put an example out there. The 60 00:03:05,560 --> 00:03:09,919 Speaker 3: state of Nevada, which I'm from, the fastest growing party 61 00:03:09,960 --> 00:03:13,360 Speaker 3: affiliation are nonpartisans and independents, and it's growing at a 62 00:03:13,440 --> 00:03:17,840 Speaker 3: rapid pace. Second is Democrats trailing and third are Republicans, 63 00:03:18,080 --> 00:03:21,520 Speaker 3: and I'm hearing more and more each day how people 64 00:03:21,600 --> 00:03:25,640 Speaker 3: are failed, disenfranchised. They feel like they're floating on a 65 00:03:25,720 --> 00:03:30,360 Speaker 3: raft in the ocean waiting for land. They don't recognize 66 00:03:30,400 --> 00:03:34,600 Speaker 3: their party anymore, and quite honestly, they were disappointed of 67 00:03:35,000 --> 00:03:38,280 Speaker 3: the rematch of the two gentlemen. They wanted somebody fresh, 68 00:03:38,400 --> 00:03:41,560 Speaker 3: somebody new. So you do have a number of voters 69 00:03:41,600 --> 00:03:44,920 Speaker 3: out there and a large number that still, which is crazy, 70 00:03:45,000 --> 00:03:47,760 Speaker 3: have not made up their minds. And so those are 71 00:03:47,800 --> 00:03:50,640 Speaker 3: the people that they need to really focus on. Both 72 00:03:50,720 --> 00:03:54,560 Speaker 3: campaigns need to focus on those nonpartisans and independents. 73 00:03:54,200 --> 00:03:56,400 Speaker 1: Will stay in touch. I appreciate your expertise very much, 74 00:03:56,400 --> 00:03:59,960 Speaker 1: Ammy Ta Kennian, who's Republican strategist out of Utah this morning. 75 00:04:00,480 --> 00:04:03,400 Speaker 2: For more from the Mic Asking Breakfast, listen live to 76 00:04:03,480 --> 00:04:06,560 Speaker 2: News Talk Set B from six am weekdays, or follow 77 00:04:06,600 --> 00:04:08,120 Speaker 2: the podcast on iHeartRadio.
