I respect both of you guys a lot, so I hesitate to be critical. However, I think you're going about this the wrong way. Belligerently telling Husker and Switzer to come defend the Biden Administration isn't going to be productive, because though I don't think it's coming from a place of contempt, it is clearly coming from a place of bad faith. You're not going to have any kind of meaningful dialogue.
If you really want their comments, why not simply bring up the things you think Biden is screwing up (spending too much money, inflation, poor border enforcement, sloppy withdrawal from Afghanistan, etc.), and ask what they think of them? Don't tell them to defend them. That presumes they agree with them. Probably, it's a more nuanced and mixed bag. You could even ask if they regret their votes. (My guess is that they don't because of what the alternative was, but you can ask.) You could ask what kind of Right-leaning alternative, if any, they might have chosen if given the chance.
The point is that there's a way to open people up and get them to explain what they think of something, but belligerence isn't going to foster that.
