DANA PERINO (HOST): I loved the line that you read in the intro, Jesse, that it took us four years to dismantle what Biden's been doing for 47 years. What that does it robs Biden from the opportunity to call this a change election. Because that's what you want to do when you are looking to upset an incumbent. Incumbents are very hard to beat. Part of the reason, as Martha just pointed out, you have the trappings of the White House. Now that is the people's house. And I do understand why some people would be niggled about it. However, by the time they have an investigation, this election's going to be over. So it doesn't matter. The president wouldn't be here if it weren't for the pandemic. Joe Biden wouldn't be in Wilmington for his convention if it weren't for the pandemic. So I think we have to set that aside.
