Hey, Michael Steele podcast listeners, Michael Steele here with another quick take from the Michael Steele podcast.

Check out what's going on right now.

Welcome back everybody to Michael Steele podcast. I'm having a blast. I don't know about you.

This is my gin and tonic for the day. This is it right here.

My lady friend, I love her that Lee McGowan. She is the politics girl. So Lee, we had we had fun the last time.

And you and I as as we are want to do, we just kind of we just go on these these these rants and these screens and we have fun and we cover a lot of topics, but we didn't get to.

Yeah.

Which you really wanted to the 2024 presidential candidates for the Republican national party.

So let's let's get let's get into it a little bit and get your take.

And I'll share a few thoughts along the way because I know you're interested.

Well, you know, it's so funny because you guys the podcast. I'm on with Michael. I had Michael on my podcast, the politics girl podcast.

So you can already listen to that. This is kind of part two of that conversation.

But the two of us are both were really keen on this stuff. And I had about I was like, we're going to talk about the candidates.

And then we just got to chatty about America. We never actually got to the candidates, which, you know, ultimately we said make sense because it's hard to defeat Trump as the nominee.

So why are we even talking about any of these other candidates? But ultimately, you know, we do have to discuss them on some level, even just to say like, what does the Republican party represent now?

You know, they every sort of aspect of it.

And that's exactly it. What what do they represent now? So at the top. And I just don't even I think it's very clear what where, what how we feel about Trump.

So I'm not even gone there. Let's just say I'm from my position, if anyone is ready to become the nominee, the party, then take him out until you show me you can do that.

But we'll have fun. So,

Ron DeSantis.

Yeah, as I said to you on my show, Ron is just a god awful candidate, right? I mean, he's terrible. He's a terrible leader. He's a terrible man.

And he's just an awful awful care candidate. I think the billionaire sort of donor class of your party wanted to support him because he was as I said to you before, you know, Trump through a car wash.
