And we asked every single candidate in January or December to come in and meet with us. The first person to respond was Donald Trump. I'll be in there, definitely, without a doubt. And all these other candidates, RFK right away, Asa Hutchinson, Cornel West, all of them, they came right in. Same format, same questioning like we talked about earlier. And the struggle was getting Biden in here.
He didn't like the fact that Trump committed early or the Democrats didn't like that he committed early. So long story short, we go through this whole process and we have Biden in there and, you know, you could just clearly tell he was, you know, not the man he was.
And it was kind of sad, you know, because it's sad because you look at it and I think generally, you know, a nice older man, nice older gentleman, right? And what they were doing to him, the Democratic Party, it would kind of like look like elderly abuse to me. Yes. And, you know, we knew we weren't going to go with him and them after the first debate.
So we give 16 questions two weeks in advance, the same 16 questions to each candidate. So, you know, RFK answered all 16 questions. Probably most of them didn't answer them how we would like them to answer them, but they answered them. Joe Biden came in and he answered five of them. Donald Trump answered all 16.
And then when Biden drops out of the race, but prior to Biden dropping out of the race, he's in the race. Around June or May, one of my vice presidents, a woman named Joan Corey out of my local, she sits on our general executive board, was at an event with Vice President Harris.
And they're going through the line to get the picture, and Joan introduces herself to Vice President Harris, says, I'm Joan Corey. I'm on the general executive board for the Teamsters. She goes, Teamsters? You better get on board. You better get on board. Better get on board soon. Says it to my vice president. To her face? To her face. So she comes back. We have the meeting the next day. Damn.
And she tells me this. I thought I was arrogant. That's really arrogant. So she tells me this. So I call up Marty Walsh. He wasn't the secretary of labor, but he was pushing hard for us to make the endorsement. I'm like, let me ask you a question, Marty. Excuse my French. Who does this fucking lady think she is?
If I want to support from any organization, I am not going to point my finger in someone's face and say, you better get on board or else. But that's the attitude of this whole party. So fast forward, she finally agrees to come after we were putting pressure on her, you know, basically, because I was doing interviews all over the place saying, we haven't got invited to the DNC.
You know, they haven't accepted our invitation for her to come to a round table. So she comes to the round table, same format, same questions, rank and file members are asking her questions just like they asked every other candidate. And they were trying to negotiate with us. She only wants to answer three questions. We're like, there's 16 questions here. So she answers three of them.
And on the fourth question, one of her operatives or one of her staff slips a note in front of me, this will be the last question. And it was 20 minutes earlier than the time that it was going to end. Come on. 100%. And so you're there trying to get our support. And her declaration on the way out was, I'm going to win with you or without you.
It was insane behavior, which at that point in time, I knew she was going to lose. Me, that's just my unqualified opinion. I got a gut instinct and I'm like... Well, you turned out to be right. Someone this arrogant, forget anything else, but you put your finger in someone's face at an Emily's List event, once you find out what the team says, and you say, you better get on board or else.
That's a problem. And then you come before us. You don't answer the question. You want to dictate what you're going to answer. And then you leave 20 minutes before it's over. And the one difference between all the candidates that came was that at the conclusion of all these roundtables, we had media set up.
So after the conclusion of meeting with Trump, I did a press conference down in the lobby of my building. Well, Donald Trump did a press conference down in the lobby of my building after he spoke. The same offer was extended to both President Biden and Vice President Harris, and they refused.
So you're meeting with the biggest labor organization that you want, and you've got an opportunity for media to question you about how you felt the media, how you felt the media went, and what you wanted to achieve, and you don't want to speak to the media? That's a problem. But Trump, to his credit, in our building, in our foyer, had a press conference.
Right. They don't realize that, and I've said this numerous times, when I'm talking to a member, whoever that member may be, regardless of race, religion, color, creed, I know that they give me the opportunity to represent them, and they employ me. Yeah. Yeah. And I've said this many times, the Democrats can understand who they work for.
They work for the constituency that they represent in their communities. Exactly. And that's where they've lost sight of who their employer is. They think that the constituency should serve them. Exactly. And it's disgraceful. And what we've been saying for a year, now everybody's embracing saying, well, the Democratic Party needs a reset. Well, where were you nine months ago?
Where were you two years ago? If you were really passionate about putting up a candidate that could actually represent Democrats like they did or represent the party, why weren't you developing a plan two and a half years ago? Because you thought you just had in the bag, you thought people were going to do what you tell them to do. Well, clearly that didn't work. So what's the future?
And they don't have an answer.
Oh. Never. They exist now. They're going to exist, I think. I mean, well, I mean, maybe not exist that way, but to your point, everybody was Democrat. Yeah. Right? Everybody was Democrat. Now you talk to people and look, sometimes people will talk to you and they'll tell you, hey, I seen you on the RNC, great job. And you know, like they've been talking shit online because you see it, whatever.
But I think the majority of the people are fed up. Totally. Totally fed up.
