make. and we ll be the first time something like this is happening on social media. with real-time questions and answers. not scripted. yeah, he will become the seventh declared candidate following tim scott, who is facing new racially charged attacks on his bid. here s the view doubling town today. he s like clarence thomas, black republican who believes in pulling himself by your bootstrap rather understanding the systemic race as that african americans face. he doesn t get it. neither does clarence. that s why they re republicans. tim scott responded just a short time ago. quaking in their boots. when an african american conservative that believes in the future of this nation stands up to be counted, they push back. that s a good sign we re on the right message. let s bring in tomi lahren, host of tomi lahren is fearless on outkick.com and juan williams. juan, to you first. i want your thoughts on ron desantis jumping in the race, the timing, the format. elon
america. it wasn t just drugs either. it s seeing people come across when we re in the middle of a pandemic, no testing for covid. making a lot of mistakes. i ve gone down to the border with the intelligence committee to look at the national security risks we face, this is a cancer on america. we ve got to remove this cancer and get it off of our streets. out of our families. and we ve got to stop things at the border or even before. i met with the chinese ambassador several months ago. he said, we don t like being blamed for the fentanyl issue in the united states. i explained to him i had been in china eight years ago when they were sending fentanyl directly to people s homes. i asked him to stop it. in 2019, they put a ban on that. he said we re selling a legal product. the precursors. we send it to other places, too. that s fine. we ll work with you on that.
even two years ago, national right wingers weren t that familiar with paul ryan. he s a guy who has been hanging around washington for a long time. but he has inserted himself into the debate over the last two years with, i think, a great deal of ambition, trying to get himself to exactly where he s gotten. who stands on the stump with this man with the radical vision for america? this vision of tearing apart institutions that have helped this country be great and give people an opportunity? who stands with him? is he going to be toxic on the campaign trail? it s got the potential to be this, ed, already, there are republican candidates for the u.s. senate who have been airing ads in states like montana, making a point that they voted against the ryan budget. because they know how unpopular it is. one of the things we re going to be watching for is that first republican candidate who when paul ryan comes into his district or her state, says i m not going to be around that day becau
i don t think thats an inappropriate word, and ryan helps make that clear. the kind of cuts he wants to make really remind people that they are not as anti-government as the republicans are. americans are often anti-government in theory, but they are in practice in favor of the government doing a lot of things. and ryan is against the government doing a lot of things that the americans want government to do. joan walsh, e.j. dionne, thanks for joining us tonight on the ed show. paul ryan s policies are bad for women. how bad? well, i ll ask terry o neal, president of the national organization for women. and the paul ryan pick has big labor in this country up in arms. james hoffa and larry cohen will tell us what the union ground game is going to be against thi ticket. stay with us.
and i like the fact no, it isn t the case, ed. and the point to be made is i hope most people know, in the united states today, we spend almost twice as much percapita taw on health care as do the people of any other country. we have a wildly inefficient and wasteful system. so what we were trying to do and what we did was not cut benefits for seniors but make the system more efficient. that s a good start. i m a single payer advocate because i think we could do a lot more. if it s turned over to the states, that, of course, is a whole different ball game. but selling the american people on obama care and making them understand exactly, you know, that this is a lie, this is a major lie. they re using this money ed, i want to say a word on medicaid and the massive cuts they re proposing. let s be very clear. a lot of people don t understand this. this year alone, we re going to be losing about 45,000 people who die because they don t get to a doctor when they should. these are
