INDEED.
NBC NEWS POLL FOUND THAT
PRESIDENT BIDEN SUFFERING AND
EROSION OF PUBLIC CONFIDENCE ON
A NUMBER OF CRITICAL ISSUES.
JOE CONCHA WITH ME NOW.
ANY IDEA WHAT DEMOCRATS WILL DO
TO CHANGE THE CANDIDATE OR
CHANGE THE CAMPAIGN.
>> I THINK AT THIS POINT AND
HAPPY MONDAY, IF THEY'RE STUCK
AT THIS POINT WE ARE IN LATE
APRIL TO THROW SOME VIDEOS IN
THERE AT THIS POINT AND INSTALL
ANOTHER NOMINEE AND JOE BIDEN
WOULD HAVE TO AGREE TO ALL OF
THIS AND I'M SURE HE WOULDN'T.
EVEN IF HE DID I DON'T THINK
VOTERS WOULD LIKE THAT WE HAD
ALL THESE PRIMARY STATE VOTES
AND SUDDENLY THE DEMOCRATIC
PARTY POWERBROKERS ARE GOING TO
DECIDE WHO GETS INSERTED IN
THEIR.
THIS POLL IS DEVASTATING BECAUSE
IS NOT JUST THAT VOTERS BY
DECISIVE MARGIN BELIEVE TRUMP IS
A BETTER PRESIDENT BY 22 POINTS
THAT IS A STAGGERING NUMBER IN
TERMS OF HOW TO HANDLE INFLATION
COST-OF-LIVING AND THINGS YOU
TALK ABOUT EVERY DAY BUT WHO IS
MORE COMPETENT AND EFFECTIVE,
TRUMP BE DIVIDED BY DOUBLE
DIGITS AND ON HAVING THE
NECESSARY MENTAL AND PHYSICAL
HEALTH TRUMP NEARLY DOUBLES
BIDEN BY A 21-POINT MARGIN WITH
ONLY A QUARTER OF VOTERS ONE
QUARTER WERE NOT JUST TALKING
REPUBLICANS AND CONSERVATIVES
BUT A BIG CHUNK OF INDEPENDENCY
DEMOCRATS SAY THEY BELIEVE THE
CURRENT PRESIDENT HAS NO
BUSINESS SEEKING A SECOND TERM.
THE PROBLEM FOR JOE BIDEN HE'S
NOT WOULD GET BETTER WITH AGE AS
WE HAD TO ELECTION DAY WE SEE
WHAT HAPPENS WHEN IS OUTSIDE OF
THE TELEPROMPTER, ODD AND
DISHONEST STORIES I CLAIMED LAST
WEEK THAT HIS UNCLE WAS CONSUMED
BY CANNIBALS.
HE WAS NOT THE FIRST MEMBER TO
GRADUATE COLLEGE OR THAT
PRESIDENT HE INHERITED SKYROCKET
INFLATION.
WE HAVE FINITE TIME AND THIS IS
WHY I'M LEAVING ON THE BACK THAT
JOE BIDEN WILL NOT TO BE DONALD
TRUMP IN THE FALL HE SIMPLY IS
LOST UNLESS THE WORDS ARE
WRITTEN FOR HIM, IF HE DUCKS OUT
OF THE DEBATES AND THOSE ARE
WATCHED BY 70 OR 80 MILLION
PEOPLE IT'LL BE IN MY OPINION
THE FINAL NAIL IN HIS CAMPAIGN.
STUART: IF HE DOES DEBATE HE
LOSES, IF HE DOESN'T DEBATE HE
LOSES BY NOT DEBATING.
THAT WOULD BE MY POSITION.
TRUMP'S TUSHMAN IN TRIAL NEW
YORK CITY DO YOU BELIEVE THE
TRIAL, THE PRECEDING SO FAR HAVE
HURT TRUMP AT ALL?
>> I THINK THEY'VE HELPED HIM TO
A CERTAIN EXTENT BUT IT DOESN'T
HELP THAT IS NOT ON THE CAMPAIGN
TRAIL BUT WHAT HE IMPROVISED AND
WENT TO THE HARLEM BODEGA SAYS
GET HIS CAMPAIGN ADD THAT YOUR
EVER GOING TO SEE EVERY
REPUBLICAN A FORMER PRESIDENT
AND HARLEM IN A DEEP BLUE CITY
GETTING THE RECEPTION THAT HE
DID, THAT WAS TELLING BUT
OVERALL BECAUSE THE JURY
SELECTION HAS GONE SO POORLY IN
TERMS OF JURORS BEING ACCEPTED
AND DISMISSED AND THE FACT THAT
DONALD TRUMP IS IN THE TRIAL
WHERE THE PROSECUTION CANNOT
SEEM TO IDENTIFY WHAT THE FELONY
IS.
IN THE END AND THE STRANGEST WAY
THIS HELPS THEM TO A CERTAIN
EXTENT BECAUSE IT MAKES THE
ARGUMENT FOR HIM THAT THE SYSTEM
IS RIGGED IN JUSTICE SYSTEM IS
WEAPON ICE AND THIS IS ELECTION
INTERFERENCE IT'S HARD TO ARGUE
AGAINST THIS WHEN YOU LOOK AT
THIS OBJECTIVELY.
STUART: HE HANDLES THE TRIAL OR
THE IMMEDIATE AFTERMATH OF THE
TRIAL VERY WELL.
HE GOES OUTSIDE AND YOU CAN
EXPECT SOME FORM OF PRESS
CONFERENCE AND EXPECT HIM TO GO
SOMEWHERE LOCALLY AND THE
CONTRAST WITH HIS ABILITY TO
ANSWER ANY AND ALL QUESTIONS AND
MEET THE PEOPLE FACE-TO-FACE,
THE CONTRAST WITH HIM DOING THAT
WITH JOE BIDEN GETS MORE AND
MORE STARK AS THIS CAMPAIGN
ROLLS ALONG NOTHING THAT'S GOING
TO CHANGE I'M DYING TO HEAR WHAT
HE HAS TO SAY AFTER THE
PROCEEDINGS TODAY.
>> IS GOING TO BE VERY
INTERESTING.
TO YOUR POINT WITH THE FACT THAT
HE SPEAKS TO THE PEOPLE.
HE'LL SPEAK TO THE PEOPLE OF NEW
JERSEY AND THE BLOSSOMING OF A
REPUBLICAN CANDIDATE CAMPAIGNING
IN MY HOME STATE HE WILL DO IT
IN WILDWOOD NEW JERSEY WHICH IS
DOWN THE SHORE WHERE EVERYTHING
IS ALRIGHT AND IT COULD BE
INTERESTING BECAUSE HE CAN
ATTRACT 20, 30, 40000 PEOPLE
DOWN THERE.
IT'LL BE ON THE BEACH AND JUST
TO SEE THAT AND THE FACT THAT
JOE BIDEN MAY HAVE TO DEFEND NEW
JERSEY BY PUTTING RESOURCES
THERE BECAUSE WE SEE PULLING
THAT TRUMP IS IN THE MARGIN OF
ERROR IN THIS STATE WHICH IS
UNTHINKABLE YOU MIGHT THINK IT
WAS THE LAST ONE TO WIN NEW
JERSEY, BETWEEN NEW JERSEY AND
VIRGINIA THE MATH HAS EXPANDED
AND IT'S NOT GOOD NEWS IF YOU'RE
THE INCOME THEM.
STUART: I LIVE IN NEW JERSEY
TOO.
THE NBC NEWS POLL FINDS THE RFK
JUNIOR'S PRESIDENTIAL RUN IS
HURTING TRUMP MORE THAN BIDEN.
YOU CAN SEE THAT TRUMP LEADS
BIDEN BY TWO POINTS IN THE
HEAD-TO-HEAD MATCHUP BUT
BRINGING OTHER CANDIDATES LIKE
RFK BIDEN HAS A TWO-POINT
ADVANTAGE.
DO YOU THINK RFK JUNIOR IS
TAKING VOTES AWAY FROM TRUMP?
>> IT IS INTERESTING, THIS IS
ONE POLL AND I KNOW WE CITED IN
TERMS OF THE NUMBERS OF TRUMP
BIDEN HOW TO HANDLE THE ECONOMY
BUT I'VE SEEN A TREND FOR SIX
MONTHS WERE TRUMP HAS SEEN THE
BETTER PERSON TO HANDLE XY AND
Z, THIS IS ONE POLL I WOULD HAVE
TO SEE OTHER POLLS THAT SHOW RFK
JUNIOR FROM TRUMP INVITED AND
I'VE SEEN OTHER POLLS WERE SAYS
RFK IS PULLING FROM BIDEN MORE
THAN TRUMP.
EITHER WAY IN THE END REMEMBER
WHAT HE DID IN 1992, BILL
CLINTON ENDED UP WINNING THE
PRESIDENCY WHICH IS 43% OF THE
VOTE WHILE THE INCUMBENT, GEORGE
W. BUSH ONLY GOT 38%.
I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO MAKE OF THE
POLL IF I SEE FOUR OR FIVE
OTHERS THAT TELL ME THE SAME
THING, THAT IS TELLING US
SOMETHING, WHAT RFK HAS DECIDED
LIBERAL AND DEFINITELY A
DEMOCRAT A
