somebody i will vote for and we get a i way from some of the paralysis that's been there. >> harris: quickly so doug, they can't even do a condemnation of what has happened with hamas on october 7th going after civilian citizens so viciously and brutally. i call them serial killers that like to take hostages. they can't even do a condemnation from the house on that because there is no house speaker. >> i will be honest, harris, i care less about condemnation of hamas, the world has done that. i want to get israel what they need and getting our own troops what they need. >> harris: they can't do the basics. >> they don't be political right now. that's easy for the majority and they can't do the basics. we aren't even running. we are are still trying to walk. >> i agree with doug. it is a disgrace and i think it's a shame in american history that we can't have people come together in washington, d.c. to elect a new speaker of the house. and it is paralysis from overanalysis here. >> harris: we'll see and cover every second of it. in the end there will be a speaker and when that day comes we'll be all

harris. it is doug emhoff. let's listen in. >> to make sure that hate has no safe harbor in america and the world. as an american jew, i'm so grateful in this moment of tumult and pain, we have joe biden as president and kamala harris as vice president. it is now my honor to introduce a true advocate for the jewish community, please join me in welcoming president joe biden.

cheryl: it's interesting, they finally went there, doug and said -- if you look at his poll numbers, and even vice president harrisat the recent poll numbers, what's happened with the poll numbers. >> did it bother anybody else when she said no, he's very much alive. was that -- i mean, he's very much alive. >> what's the alternative. keeping him in the cryp pt, somewhere, body double. >> that mo movie "dave." she had to say he's very much alive. okay. >> can we cut to the chase? joe biden is a ridiculous candidate to be running for president in 2024. end of story. i mean r, most of the country thinks he's too old, most of the country thinks he's dishonest. disapproval is worse than any president going back to jimmy carter. i'm not even sure he's beating jimmy carter now. democrats have a huge problem and kamala harris is part of it because they can't ask old joe to step aside without kamala harris. cheryl: in all seriouss in, there are horrific -- seriousness, there are horrific things happening around the world and college campuses. we need leadership, strength, guidance. sit there and say -- look, i can give hi
