amash being in this race?competitive to win the presidency. so we're talking about how much of the tea party will amash siphon off. as i point out in my analysis, this is no gary johnson from '16. johnson really had a lot more support because he was pulling from the left side of the spectrum. amash, even after his exodus from the party and some votes he took with democrats that were on pretty big issues, he is still more conservative than 84% of house republicans. so, you know, that's a problem when you're trying to market him to a biden audience. and then i'm a little bit more -- i've always been bearish about the soft support we see about right holding biden up in the swing states and reminded about abortion and guns. i always thought those people might not follow through anyway. we know for sure parscale, and by the way, this panel is the nightmare for parscale. i hope he sees this and he can't sleep for a week. so, you know, parscale strategy -- what he was talking about with polling, what he's trying to s

congressman justin amash, thank you for joining us.we'll have you back to talk more about your platform as the campaign developments. thank you very much, sir. >> thank you very much, jake. >>> as the weekend began, president trump took steps to replace the acting official of the department of health and human services, christy grim, who had issued a march report highlighting how unprepared hospitals were, according to a survey, for the coronavirus crisis. though president trump unfairly portrayed her as partisan, grimm is a career civil servant who has never served in a political role and who served under clinton, bush and obama before serving under trump. her report used the same methodology that was used for two prior reports on preparedness for ebola. inspectors general should take on hard topics and ask difficult questions and release relevant work, performing their function without bias and without fear or favor. what must those in the offices of inspectors general across the government be thinking now as they look at what happen

. >> kadia, in that poll, when justin amash is added in, biden's support shrinks to 47%. goes down to 40%. does this suggest that biden has more to lose if this becomes a three-person race? >> reporter: so that's the question when someone like amash, who left the gop last year, comes into the race. whether he will be taking from biden. a lot of that goes back to his background. he is very much a conserve agenda politician. he is the kind of person who can go after anti-trump supporters who might have wanted to sit this one out and not vote for biden. but he is presenting a third option for them. so i don't necessarily think that his supporters that are now flocking or would be flocking to amash are really leaving biden because they don't like biden or want to see him be president but rather because they are appreciative of a more conservative message but would want to see that someone like trump is not in the white house. and he presents that option. >> it would be critical to say what sort of traction he gets in michigan, which is one of those states where of course vice

my support is for libertarian candidate justin amash. i know he's announced very recently his intent to seek an exploring committee for the president, and i really theep he gets the nomination when we have the convention, which is scheduled for july. but i really was not excited bout voting until he announced his candidacy with the white house last wednesday, i believe, and i really hope that more people will consider voting third party, because candidates like joe biden and donald trump, they both have sexual assault allegations against them. they both have very inconsistent records. they both have done things in the past which is unconductive of a president holding the highest office in the land. i really just believe in this so much and so strongly that i really would like us to make an impact on this election, if anything else. host: ron, thanks for the call. the president weighing in this morning on that video that we showed you earlier from former president george w. bush, and he quotes pete on fox, by the way, i appreciate the mes
