Joining us now, as she always does at this time, Dr. Grace putting liberals in their place. Grace Voto, full disclosure. Yes, I married up, way up. She's my better half. Grace, how are you? I am very well. Thank you, John. It was nice to spend a day with the K-Man yesterday. Now, for some reason, you're kind of breaking up as we can't hear you as well. So I don't know if there's a phone connection or whatever, but let's see if we can maybe work that out. Grace, so I just want to ask you, if you were to answer our poll question, who is the most stupid? Because, you know, Grette, you know, we had Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez in Munich. We had Gavin Newsom in Munich. Kamala Harris is still technically leading in polls among Democratic primary voters, although Gavin Newsom is number two. He's considered one of the frontrunners. So if it's AOCA, Kamala Harris, B, and Gavin Newsom C.

3:08

Who do you think is the stupidest of those three? Who would you say is the most stupid? By a country mile is Kamala Harris. She can't conclude a sentence without confusing everybody in the room. And she begins on one point, and by the end, she's somewhere else. And I think it's a combination of very low IQ and some kind of substance abuse. And that's a deadly combination. So you're saying she's even more stupid. That she's even more stupid than Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. I mean, listen, she's all the way stupid. Okay, so let me ask you this. So Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez was at Munich. You know, I've been playing cuts all morning. She completely bombed the Taiwan question. It was an embarrassment. Venezuela, she says, is below the equator. It's above the equator. Spain introduced horses and cowboys to Mexico. I don't think she knows that Mexico was once a colony of Spain. I could go on and on and on. Look, she was out of her depth, out of her league. It was very obvious. Did she commit political suicide? Not domestically. She'll still be a congresswoman. But in terms of being a national political force. Did she basically cut her own political throat? Or do you think that a party that would nominate Kamala Harris will nominate Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez? What say you? Jeff, I don't think that she is going to be the nominee. She just doesn't have what it takes. Even within her own party among the elites, they don't think well of her. So the power brokers within the Democratic Party aren't going to allow it. And they're not going to take another chance on another Ms. Stupid. They're not going to do that. So she showed that when it comes to foreign affairs, she just can't cut it. The American people are going to want a strong, intelligent, capable commander-in-chief, especially as the threats around the world, they don't recede. So there's no way this woman is going to be the nominee. What did you make of Marco Rubio's performance? What did you make of his speech? Did he elevate himself now to a statesman? And could he now be the front-runner for president in 2028? Well, Jeff, I love it that you've been using the word all morning statesmen, and that, to be honest, has been lacking in the Trump administration. We need a statesman. And one of the areas that I have so disagreed with how this administration has taken on Europe and Canada is these are our brothers and sisters, these are our partners in civilization and in freedom. And I never wanted these disputes.

6:07

to be so public. I always thought that the disputes we have amongst each other, like with any family, you air your dirty laundry in private, never in public. Why cut us down like that? And what Marco Rubio did is get us to where, it's the tone. It's the tone that I want to see from this administration. Yes, we've got problems to fix. Yes, sometimes they upset us. but it's got to be done with the spirit of unbreakable allies. That's what Canada is, that's what Europe is, has been. This is Western civilization. We have to stand as one, and bravo, bravo, bravo to Marco Rubio. This is the tone that I want to see. Even when he's saying tough stuff, he was also reprimanding them and calling out the leftist policies that are destructive. But he did it as a leader, getting us to a better place with his words, not miring us in unnecessary antagonism and division. Do you think now with this speech, Marco Rubio... Can he beat JD Vance in a primary, or do you still think, you know, historically vice presidents win the nominations, especially if the president has a successful term? That's just the way it is, at least throughout most of American history. JD Vance has been seen so far anyway, very effective, very loyal vice president, has taken on a lot of portfolios. I know he's still relatively inexperienced, but three years from now, he won't be. I think he'll be in his political prime. That's just me. But what say you? Do you think now with this speech and with the way Marco Rubio, let's be honest, has been a very good Secretary of State. He's also National Security Advisor. He's taken on multiple roles. He's taken a massive workload. He's frankly surprised me. I didn't think he was going to be this good. Is Marco Rubio potentially the man to beat? Or do you think it will be JD Vance? Jeff, to be honest with you, both men have some deficiencies in my eyes. I've always thought that JD Vance was way too inexperienced, and as you say, he's going to need a lot more years of experience, so let's see how that materializes. And the problem with Marco Rubio is he's been a neocon most of his life, and then he switched to MAGA. So there's a little bit of doubt about him in terms of how steady is he going to be on every single MAGA policy once he gets in there. So I just, right now, to tell you the honest-to-God truth, I have more of a wait-and-see attitude. We also have to see what issues remain unfulfilled by the end of the second term and which of the two of these men or maybe other men are going to rise or other women are going to rise that most speaks to us. So when it comes to discussing three years from now, I'm really not all in on anybody and not even on either of these two. Is there any dark horse candidate that you're looking at?

9:24

Is there any, a Tulsi Gabbard, you know, your guy, Ron DeSantis, he won't be governor of Florida anymore. He'll have a chance at a second crack at the can. Maybe he learns some from his mistakes in his first time go around. Is there anybody you're looking at that you think could be a spoiler? Because everyone's talking JD Vance Marco Rubio right now. But is there anyone out there that you say, watch out? That person can come right up the middle and take it. Well, if I could tweak his personality to make him less boring and a more exciting campaigner, the person that I think would be the best actual governor, leader, like actual in government, you know, getting stuff done that we need is Ron DeSantis. To me, he is still number one. The problem is it's very hard to get him to strike a fire in people. It's all about let's make this decision with our head. So he's got some seasoning to go as well. Well, maybe you could help him out with his shoes. If you remember the last time around, he got a couple of inches, like these heels that were two, three inches higher to try to make himself look taller on the debate stage. Hey, Jeff, can we have you? That's the one I really want. Oh, thanks. I can't. I wasn't born in the United States. Now, let's quickly go to the Democrats. Grace, we've got about two minutes. Kamala Harris now has won recent polls, say... If they were to do a primary now, she would win, unbelievably. Gavin Newsom Doe is a front runner, one of the front runners. He would be second place. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, I don't know what's going to happen now after what happened over the weekend. You've got a couple of others, Gretchen Whitmer, Josh Shapiro from Pennsylvania, Amy Klobuchar in Minnesota. But basically, you're looking at Kamala Harris, Gavin Newsom, and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. If that's their choice, do the Democrats have a prayer in 2028? Well, look, if that's their choice, I think that the party is going to go with Gavin Newsom, if that's, you know, the remaining three that they are considering. And between now and then, anything is possible. One thing I've learned, never underestimate the ignorance and the apathy of the people of this country. So you think that even with a Gavin Newsom, say, if Gavin Newsom wins the nomination, you still think the Democrats pose a danger in potentially winning the presidency?

12:07

Even though California has been such a disaster. Look, everything depends on the results, the final results of the second Trump administration. And so right now, the affordability crisis is still number one on people's minds. If this is not resolved by then, it's going to be a vote against whoever was in office now. So sadly, that's just the way it goes. Never mind all the other achievements, you know. Interesting. Okay. I know you don't like to do this, but we, oh, and we've got 30 seconds. Look in your crystal ball. What ticket do you see for the Republicans? What ticket do you see for the Democrats? Gosh, you're so right, Chef, when you say I hate to do that. Crystal ball, crystal ball. I think right now it would definitely be at this moment a JD Vance Marco Rubio ticket with JD Vance leading it. And I don't think Marco Rubio would try to knock him out. I think he would just play ball and go along. And for the Democratic... Mike, you're kidding. You couldn't let her get out her pick for the Democrats? Are you serious? Jeff doesn't get a day off. This request came from his wife. The Cooner Report Weekend Edition on the voice of Boston, WRKO.
