DEBBIE DINGELL: I mean, we need to get talking about Donald Trump and his performance and all the issues that are at stake, and the contrast. This has been… you guys are having a great time.

SCOTT JENNINGS: How can we stop talking about it? It's only the Commander-in-Chief for the United States we're talking about. He's not just a candidate…

DINGELL: Which is why we need to be talking about Donald Trump and all the things that he's done…

JENNINGS: You’ve got…

DINGELL: … and how he wants to be a dictator and how he wants to make… thinks Roe versus Wade is the greatest thing that he ever did. How he wants to give your billionaire friends a tax cut, and thinks January 6th was a great thing. 

JENNINGS: You give me too much credit. I wish I had some billionaire friends. You got colleagues public, and private, who want Joe Biden to step down. You've got a lot of colleagues in your conference who want him to get out of the way and what they're really saying is, “we don't have confidence in him to lead for the next four years”, which really means they don't have confidence in him to lead today. This is not a campaign problem. This is a White House problem. There are real questions about whether he's acting independently he said, by the way, in his interview with Stephanopoulos the other night he wanted to do three things: restore decency, now he's got Hunter Biden running the White House senior staff meetings. He said he wanted to do something for the middle-class…

DANA BASH: Hunter Biden's not running The White House. C’mon.

DOUG THORNELL: That's crazy, Scott.

JENNINGS: I'm sorry. I'm just- I'm just reading the journalism. I'm pro-journalist here. I'm reading the journalism about Hunter Biden running the ship here. He said he wanted to help the middle class, they're being ravaged by record inflation. And he said he wanted to unite the country and he is the most divisive, unpopular president in the modern era. He has failed by his own standards and now his own party is petrified that you're headed for a historic wipeout in the fall. Now, I think they're dug in like Alabama ticks. I don't think this family's going anywhere, even as Democrats want him to get out of the way because they know what’s coming.
