BRIAN KILMEADE (CO-HOST): Meanwhile, in terms of James Carville and Congressman Clyburn, Carville started sounding the alarm that this party is going to go into the ditch with a socialist. He deserves credit from the Democratic establishment, but nobody deserves more credit than Clyburn, and they know for their efforts to be rewarded, Joe has got to stay on the prompter. Listen:

DON LEMON (CNN HOST): For what reason is there not to drop out?

JAMES CARVILLE (DEMOCRATIC STRATEGIST): Let's shut this puppy down and let's move on and worry about November.

JAMES CLYBRUN (DEMOCRATIC CONGRESSMAN): I think it is time for us to shut this primary down. It's time for us to cancel the rest of these debates.

KILMEADE: Because they want to put Joe in bubble wrap. 

TONY KATZ (TALK RADIO HOST):  That's absolutely right. And once again, if you are a democratic voter, this is the party, once again, telling you are not a part of the system. All those Bernie supporters in 2016, they got hosed. Hillary Clinton stole the nomination. It wasn't the Russians, it was comrade Hillary. In 2020, it's the party that wants to still this in toto. The voter of the democratic party has to be very disgusted, and if not, my gosh, what will they accept? They will accept anything. If they're willing to accept the party establishment here. The party leadership, the elders, Jim Clyburn saved Joe Biden's political career, and now he is telling the rest of the Democrats yeah, it's about me, not about you. I got this covered. Just do what I tell you. 

KILMEADE: And he got another break as sadly this pandemic has affected so many lives. But for Joe Biden, it's a break from him showing up at live events for seven minutes as opposed to Bernie Sanders showing up to capacity crowds and going for over an hour.
