JOE ROGAN DENOUNCES DNC FOR NOT HAVING BIDEN DEBATE IN PRIMARIES: 'NOT THAT DEMOCRATIC'
CLAY TRAVIS: I never would have believed that Dawson Leery, from 'Dawson's Creek' back in the day, would make more sense analyzing the Democrat state of the presidential nomination fight than anyone on MSNBC or CNN combined. I watch this video, and I was like, you know what? This guy deserves to be sitting on a panel analyzing everything that's going on right now. And what he nailed is we're talking a lot about the battle on the Republican side. I saw where Chris Christie is expected to enter the race and there's going to be a huge bevy of candidates attempting to get that Republican nomination. But look, you've got 20% of people supporting RFK Jr. Six, seven, 8% supporting Marianne Williamson. If anyone with a pulse entered the Democrat race right now, I think they would beat Joe Biden and so you have to ask yourself why in the world are Democrats so consistently trying to protect a dementia-riddled incompetent who is the worst president of any of our lives? And I think James Van Der Beek nailed it. … What does Pacey think about the RNC race?

Van Der Beek blasted the Democratic National Committee for planning on foregoing primary debates between President Joe Biden and other presidential contenders for 2024.
"I mean, what the hell? How is this a democracy?" Van Der Beek said in a viral TikTok filmed on Memorial Day with over 49,500 likes.
"I cannot get over the fact that the Democratic National Committee is saying there will not be a debate to decide the nominee for president. Are you f---ing kidding me? There’s no debate?" Van Der Beek said.
"There’s no debate over an 80-year-old man who, if he lives, will be the oldest sitting president in the history of the country? And if he doesn’t live, has a vice president whose approval rating is worse than his?" he added, taking a shot at Vice President Kamala Harris.
