WEBVTT - The U.S Report | 12 July

0:00:02.240 --> 0:00:05.720
<v Speaker 1>This is the US Report with James Moroar.

0:00:07.720 --> 0:00:10.520
<v Speaker 2>Good evening, Welcome to the program. Coming up on the

0:00:10.640 --> 0:00:15.000
<v Speaker 2>US Report tonight, who's really running the country? We chat

0:00:15.040 --> 0:00:18.840
<v Speaker 2>the former White House Chief of Staff Mick mulvaney. Plus

0:00:19.079 --> 0:00:22.120
<v Speaker 2>Joe Biden holds his big boy press conference?

0:00:22.400 --> 0:00:23.000
<v Speaker 1>How did he do?

0:00:23.680 --> 0:00:27.320
<v Speaker 2>And Donald Trump set to announce his VP pick as

0:00:27.360 --> 0:00:28.440
<v Speaker 2>soon as next week.

0:00:28.800 --> 0:00:29.479
<v Speaker 1>But the big.

0:00:29.360 --> 0:00:34.400
<v Speaker 2>Question is who's it gonna be. We'll find out. But first,

0:00:35.360 --> 0:00:39.319
<v Speaker 2>ladies and gentlemen, I give you the leader of the

0:00:39.360 --> 0:00:44.720
<v Speaker 2>Free World, speaking earlier at the NATO submit Washington, welcoming

0:00:44.920 --> 0:00:46.400
<v Speaker 2>the leader of Ukraine.

0:00:47.520 --> 0:00:49.040
<v Speaker 3>And now I want to hand it over to the

0:00:49.080 --> 0:00:52.760
<v Speaker 3>president of Ukraine, who has as much courage as he

0:00:52.800 --> 0:00:56.160
<v Speaker 3>has determination. Ladies and gentlemen, President.

0:00:55.840 --> 0:01:04.600
<v Speaker 2>Putin, President Putin. Honestly, you couldn't even get that right. Look,

0:01:05.000 --> 0:01:07.479
<v Speaker 2>we'll get into everything else that's happened with the Big

0:01:07.520 --> 0:01:10.800
<v Speaker 2>boy press conference. But yet again, even in the most

0:01:10.920 --> 0:01:16.360
<v Speaker 2>scripted environment, with the most simple task, Joe Biden cannot

0:01:16.360 --> 0:01:19.680
<v Speaker 2>help but fall on his face, which he did a

0:01:19.720 --> 0:01:22.720
<v Speaker 2>little bit later on when he called his vice president,

0:01:23.200 --> 0:01:24.400
<v Speaker 2>Vice President Trump.

0:01:25.680 --> 0:01:29.039
<v Speaker 3>Look, I wouldn't have picked Vice President Trump to be

0:01:29.120 --> 0:01:32.520
<v Speaker 3>vice president. I think she's not qualified to be president.

0:01:32.959 --> 0:01:33.880
<v Speaker 3>So let's start there.

0:01:35.360 --> 0:01:37.600
<v Speaker 2>Honestly, where do you go from there? But you know what,

0:01:37.600 --> 0:01:41.200
<v Speaker 2>I'll tell you something. It's more serious. This whole thing

0:01:41.280 --> 0:01:44.440
<v Speaker 2>with Joe Biden is a lot more serious than just

0:01:44.840 --> 0:01:48.760
<v Speaker 2>the occasional words salad or even the fact that the

0:01:48.800 --> 0:01:53.440
<v Speaker 2>president likely has some sort of degenerative condition, a fact

0:01:53.600 --> 0:01:56.120
<v Speaker 2>revealed to the world when all the lives of the

0:01:56.120 --> 0:01:59.120
<v Speaker 2>White House and much of the press corps fell apart

0:01:59.200 --> 0:02:04.200
<v Speaker 2>during Biden's horrendous debate performance last month. No, this is

0:02:04.360 --> 0:02:08.440
<v Speaker 2>much bigger because several months ago on this program, I

0:02:08.639 --> 0:02:12.880
<v Speaker 2>said that the United States was rapidly becoming a banana republic.

0:02:13.240 --> 0:02:14.639
<v Speaker 1>And at the time I said it was.

0:02:14.600 --> 0:02:18.240
<v Speaker 2>Because essentially the government was trying to put the leader

0:02:18.280 --> 0:02:21.640
<v Speaker 2>of the opposition in jail. Now, this was the course

0:02:21.680 --> 0:02:24.520
<v Speaker 2>of reference to the largely jumped up trials set up

0:02:24.760 --> 0:02:28.200
<v Speaker 2>for Donald Trump with the behind the scenes connivance of

0:02:28.240 --> 0:02:32.000
<v Speaker 2>the Biden Whitehouse. But now that all seems like a

0:02:32.080 --> 0:02:37.400
<v Speaker 2>much simpler time, because the recriminations from Joe Biden's debate

0:02:37.480 --> 0:02:43.960
<v Speaker 2>performance are continuing to reverberate. And yes, these recriminations are

0:02:44.000 --> 0:02:49.880
<v Speaker 2>revealing the extent of a massive scandal, a massive conspiracy

0:02:50.480 --> 0:02:54.480
<v Speaker 2>by the American ruling class to both hide the president's

0:02:54.480 --> 0:02:59.920
<v Speaker 2>condition and, now that it has been revealed, depose him.

0:03:01.080 --> 0:03:05.120
<v Speaker 2>But more importantly, this is also revealing just how utterly

0:03:05.200 --> 0:03:07.919
<v Speaker 2>wondderless the United States has been for the past few

0:03:07.960 --> 0:03:12.400
<v Speaker 2>years under Joe Biden. Is it any wonder that the

0:03:12.440 --> 0:03:16.359
<v Speaker 2>world is in such a mess right now? In the meantime,

0:03:16.440 --> 0:03:20.320
<v Speaker 2>consider this very deep in this CNN report which just

0:03:20.960 --> 0:03:23.639
<v Speaker 2>went live, it's just gone up on their website, is

0:03:23.680 --> 0:03:29.680
<v Speaker 2>this little detail quote, the last full cabinet meeting took

0:03:29.720 --> 0:03:33.240
<v Speaker 2>place on October two, twenty twenty three.

0:03:34.639 --> 0:03:37.360
<v Speaker 1>Did you get that? The last full.

0:03:37.240 --> 0:03:40.360
<v Speaker 2>Meeting of President Joe Biden's cabinet was nine months ago?

0:03:41.120 --> 0:03:44.360
<v Speaker 2>And it's not like, you know, there's anything going on

0:03:44.440 --> 0:03:47.520
<v Speaker 2>in the world, what with an inflation crisis and Iran crisis,

0:03:47.800 --> 0:03:51.640
<v Speaker 2>an Israel Palestinian crisis, an ongoing war in the Ukraine

0:03:51.640 --> 0:03:55.880
<v Speaker 2>that seems destined for catastrophic escalation, North Korea ready to

0:03:55.880 --> 0:03:58.720
<v Speaker 2>go nuts at any time, and a China that is

0:03:58.760 --> 0:04:02.960
<v Speaker 2>biding its time. Nah, no reason to get the cabinet

0:04:02.960 --> 0:04:07.440
<v Speaker 2>together there, folks. Then there was this ahead of closed

0:04:07.440 --> 0:04:11.120
<v Speaker 2>door cabinet meetings. CN intervealed that Biden attends. It is

0:04:11.200 --> 0:04:15.960
<v Speaker 2>customary for cabinet officials to submit questions in key talking

0:04:16.000 --> 0:04:19.640
<v Speaker 2>points that they plan to present in front of Biden

0:04:20.120 --> 0:04:23.640
<v Speaker 2>ahead of time to White House aids, according to two

0:04:23.680 --> 0:04:27.960
<v Speaker 2>sources with direct knowledge. Now this report went on to

0:04:28.000 --> 0:04:31.600
<v Speaker 2>note that under previous presidents like Obama, there was nowhere

0:04:31.640 --> 0:04:35.279
<v Speaker 2>near this level of stage management or orchestration for a

0:04:35.360 --> 0:04:39.400
<v Speaker 2>cabinet meeting. The entire display is kind of an act.

0:04:39.200 --> 0:04:40.839
<v Speaker 1>One source to CNN.

0:04:41.560 --> 0:04:44.360
<v Speaker 2>The source went on to say, they would come and say, hey,

0:04:44.800 --> 0:04:47.200
<v Speaker 2>the President is going to call on you about twenty

0:04:47.240 --> 0:04:51.480
<v Speaker 2>five minutes in, and you ask this question, what are

0:04:51.520 --> 0:04:56.159
<v Speaker 2>the bullet points? You'll respond with sorry, but this is

0:04:56.200 --> 0:05:01.040
<v Speaker 2>both unacceptable and unbelievable. This is not how a nation

0:05:01.200 --> 0:05:03.800
<v Speaker 2>that is supposed to be the leader of the free world,

0:05:03.960 --> 0:05:07.200
<v Speaker 2>the last defensive democracy, the begon of freedom, the seat

0:05:07.240 --> 0:05:10.960
<v Speaker 2>of the most competent, wordly and transparent government history, as

0:05:11.080 --> 0:05:12.560
<v Speaker 2>ordained by the founding fathers.

0:05:13.480 --> 0:05:15.280
<v Speaker 1>No, this is the.

0:05:15.240 --> 0:05:18.960
<v Speaker 2>Way things are in a third world banana republic, which

0:05:19.000 --> 0:05:22.000
<v Speaker 2>is what the United States, especially if you've visit some

0:05:22.040 --> 0:05:26.440
<v Speaker 2>of its big cities, is looking like these days, especially

0:05:26.880 --> 0:05:30.840
<v Speaker 2>the way the media seems to be just playing along

0:05:31.600 --> 0:05:35.400
<v Speaker 2>and not asking vital questions like how did we allow

0:05:35.520 --> 0:05:40.040
<v Speaker 2>ourselves to be duped and what do we do to

0:05:40.240 --> 0:05:43.159
<v Speaker 2>restore the trust of a public that believes we in

0:05:43.200 --> 0:05:48.760
<v Speaker 2>the media have been lying to them for years now. Instead,

0:05:48.800 --> 0:05:52.560
<v Speaker 2>and up until very recently, the US media went along

0:05:52.680 --> 0:05:55.560
<v Speaker 2>with the act, or most of it did, Like when

0:05:55.600 --> 0:05:59.600
<v Speaker 2>this reporter lobbed a softball question at White House spokesman

0:05:59.720 --> 0:06:04.400
<v Speaker 2>kree Jean Pierre about so called cheap fake videos of

0:06:04.440 --> 0:06:06.680
<v Speaker 2>Biden wandering off at the G seven.

0:06:07.440 --> 0:06:10.680
<v Speaker 4>I'm wondering the White Houses especially worried about the fact

0:06:10.680 --> 0:06:11.640
<v Speaker 4>that this appears to.

0:06:11.600 --> 0:06:13.920
<v Speaker 5>Be a pattern number thing more on.

0:06:14.320 --> 0:06:16.440
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, and I think you all have called this the

0:06:16.520 --> 0:06:19.480
<v Speaker 6>cheap fakes video, and that's exactly what they are. They

0:06:19.480 --> 0:06:22.240
<v Speaker 6>are cheap fakes video. They are done in bad faith.

0:06:23.839 --> 0:06:28.320
<v Speaker 6>In some of your news organization have been very clear,

0:06:28.400 --> 0:06:31.599
<v Speaker 6>have stressed that these right wing, the white wing critics

0:06:31.600 --> 0:06:34.880
<v Speaker 6>of the president have a credibility problem because of the

0:06:35.000 --> 0:06:39.599
<v Speaker 6>fact checkers have repeatedly caught them pushing misinformation, disinformation.

0:06:41.320 --> 0:06:42.359
<v Speaker 1>It's all cheap fanks.

0:06:42.880 --> 0:06:45.160
<v Speaker 2>Again, so much of the press in the United States

0:06:45.200 --> 0:06:48.440
<v Speaker 2>and here in Australia, outfits like the ABC and The

0:06:48.480 --> 0:06:50.560
<v Speaker 2>Sydney Morning Hair and the Age which followed their lead

0:06:51.320 --> 0:06:55.000
<v Speaker 2>have shown themselves not to be speaking truth to power,

0:06:55.480 --> 0:06:59.880
<v Speaker 2>but rather defending power so long as it's Democrat power,

0:07:00.680 --> 0:07:04.599
<v Speaker 2>because again they think we can't have the ordinary people

0:07:04.640 --> 0:07:06.719
<v Speaker 2>know the truth and maybe considered voting for Trump.

0:07:07.720 --> 0:07:10.840
<v Speaker 1>Look. Remember, if you had not been watching.

0:07:10.640 --> 0:07:13.560
<v Speaker 2>The US Report and Sky News and our counterparts in

0:07:13.560 --> 0:07:17.400
<v Speaker 2>the United States, but instead consumed only the Washington Post

0:07:17.520 --> 0:07:21.240
<v Speaker 2>at MSNBC, the New York Times and CNN, you would

0:07:21.280 --> 0:07:23.440
<v Speaker 2>not have known there was anything wrong with the president

0:07:23.960 --> 0:07:27.520
<v Speaker 2>until that debate a few weeks ago left everyone with

0:07:27.680 --> 0:07:32.400
<v Speaker 2>no doubt. This media protection racket for an adult president

0:07:32.520 --> 0:07:38.120
<v Speaker 2>is really again third world banana republic stuff. Here's another example.

0:07:38.680 --> 0:07:41.120
<v Speaker 2>The other day, just after that debate we talked about,

0:07:41.440 --> 0:07:44.800
<v Speaker 2>and right before the July four weekend, Joe Biden did

0:07:44.800 --> 0:07:48.960
<v Speaker 2>an interview with a Milwaukee radio station. It was pre recorded,

0:07:49.000 --> 0:07:52.080
<v Speaker 2>and after the call, the radio station got a request

0:07:52.280 --> 0:07:55.320
<v Speaker 2>from the White House to edit it. Among other things,

0:07:55.360 --> 0:07:59.520
<v Speaker 2>according to the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, they cut Biden saying, quote,

0:08:00.000 --> 0:08:02.000
<v Speaker 2>in addition to that, I have more blacks in my

0:08:02.080 --> 0:08:05.720
<v Speaker 2>administration than any other president, all other presidents combined, and

0:08:05.760 --> 0:08:10.560
<v Speaker 2>in major positions, cabinet positions. Well, of course that's a lie,

0:08:10.880 --> 0:08:14.720
<v Speaker 2>But the question also is raised, how many times does

0:08:14.760 --> 0:08:16.960
<v Speaker 2>this happen? The White House picks some swordes non't are that,

0:08:18.240 --> 0:08:20.520
<v Speaker 2>we don't know, but it just makes the media as

0:08:20.600 --> 0:08:23.120
<v Speaker 2>complicit in the Biden cover up as the White House,

0:08:23.680 --> 0:08:27.280
<v Speaker 2>which has led America and the world to an entirely

0:08:27.600 --> 0:08:35.640
<v Speaker 2>dangerous place. Well, on this historic day, let's bring in

0:08:35.760 --> 0:08:38.720
<v Speaker 2>former White House Chief of Staff Mick mulvady. Mick, the

0:08:38.840 --> 0:08:42.920
<v Speaker 2>big story is the Big Boy press conference taking place

0:08:43.280 --> 0:08:46.360
<v Speaker 2>just hours after and it was delayed two or three

0:08:46.440 --> 0:08:50.800
<v Speaker 2>times after that remarkable gaff in which he confused Vladimir

0:08:50.880 --> 0:08:54.439
<v Speaker 2>Zelenski with Vladimir Putin. Mick mulvaney, you've been behind the

0:08:54.480 --> 0:08:57.239
<v Speaker 2>scenes in the Trump White House. What do you imagine

0:08:57.280 --> 0:09:00.360
<v Speaker 2>the mood was like among the White House staff as

0:09:00.640 --> 0:09:04.560
<v Speaker 2>they prepared him for that press conference after that incredible gaff?

0:09:05.760 --> 0:09:09.000
<v Speaker 7>Yeah, I mean, James, I gotta think if they're rational,

0:09:09.600 --> 0:09:15.000
<v Speaker 7>they're depressed because he's not doing well. But my guess

0:09:15.080 --> 0:09:17.400
<v Speaker 7>is they're not being rational that a rational staff would

0:09:17.400 --> 0:09:20.160
<v Speaker 7>have tried to convince him to sort of gracefully buy

0:09:20.160 --> 0:09:20.679
<v Speaker 7>out of the race.

0:09:20.720 --> 0:09:22.600
<v Speaker 5>Already. So my guess is, if it's.

0:09:22.440 --> 0:09:26.319
<v Speaker 7>An educated guess is they're back celebrating, thinking this is great,

0:09:26.360 --> 0:09:28.000
<v Speaker 7>this is viye, this is so much better, and.

0:09:28.000 --> 0:09:29.439
<v Speaker 5>He put everything to rest. He's going to be the

0:09:29.480 --> 0:09:30.320
<v Speaker 5>next president I state.

0:09:30.440 --> 0:09:35.000
<v Speaker 7>So there's a real cognitive disconnection between what the rest

0:09:35.000 --> 0:09:36.600
<v Speaker 7>of the world is seeing and what the White House

0:09:36.600 --> 0:09:37.280
<v Speaker 7>staff is saying.

0:09:37.640 --> 0:09:40.880
<v Speaker 2>But I mean, speaking of cognitive disconnects, right off the bat,

0:09:41.000 --> 0:09:43.560
<v Speaker 2>the first thing he does is refers to his vice

0:09:43.600 --> 0:09:45.520
<v Speaker 2>president as vice President Trump.

0:09:45.520 --> 0:09:49.960
<v Speaker 3>Have a look, Look, I wouldn't have picked Vice President

0:09:50.000 --> 0:09:53.400
<v Speaker 3>Trump to be vice president. I think she's not qualified

0:09:53.400 --> 0:09:55.439
<v Speaker 3>to be president. So let's start there.

0:09:57.840 --> 0:10:00.199
<v Speaker 2>I mean, this must have been just an absolutely heart

0:10:00.240 --> 0:10:03.400
<v Speaker 2>seeking moment for everybody in the Biden camp, and yet

0:10:03.440 --> 0:10:04.160
<v Speaker 2>he presses on.

0:10:05.480 --> 0:10:05.720
<v Speaker 5>Yeah.

0:10:05.760 --> 0:10:08.319
<v Speaker 7>I was actually watching that in a new studio with

0:10:08.360 --> 0:10:10.359
<v Speaker 7>a large group of people. There was just a collective

0:10:10.480 --> 0:10:14.280
<v Speaker 7>groan for the Republicans, Democrats, centrist alike that this is

0:10:14.679 --> 0:10:17.839
<v Speaker 7>It's been hard to watch. This is the president of

0:10:17.840 --> 0:10:20.200
<v Speaker 7>the United States. There's a there's a collective feeling of

0:10:21.080 --> 0:10:24.520
<v Speaker 7>sympathy and dread at the same time. So, yeah, that

0:10:24.520 --> 0:10:27.160
<v Speaker 7>that's probably the worst gaff of the night. The face

0:10:27.200 --> 0:10:28.839
<v Speaker 7>of James. It's not the last GAF we're going to

0:10:28.920 --> 0:10:30.320
<v Speaker 7>hear from from from Joe Biden.

0:10:30.920 --> 0:10:33.319
<v Speaker 2>No, And I mean that sort of combination of sympathy

0:10:33.320 --> 0:10:35.760
<v Speaker 2>and dread brings up the whole question of does the

0:10:35.800 --> 0:10:39.280
<v Speaker 2>president have some deeper underlying medical condition? And in the

0:10:39.360 --> 0:10:42.160
<v Speaker 2>last week or so, there's been a lot of crystallization

0:10:42.320 --> 0:10:45.800
<v Speaker 2>around this idea that quite possibly he's suffering from Parkinson's,

0:10:45.800 --> 0:10:48.199
<v Speaker 2>which of course would be a huge tragedy for him

0:10:48.200 --> 0:10:50.480
<v Speaker 2>and the Biden family. But the White House has been

0:10:50.520 --> 0:10:53.480
<v Speaker 2>caught up covering up the fact that a renowned Parkston

0:10:53.559 --> 0:10:58.640
<v Speaker 2>specialist has visited the presidential residence on multiple occasions. And again,

0:10:59.320 --> 0:11:03.160
<v Speaker 2>the press seems very compliant in these cover ups. When

0:11:03.520 --> 0:11:05.120
<v Speaker 2>you know, when Donald Trump's bild the glass of what

0:11:05.200 --> 0:11:08.720
<v Speaker 2>do they tried to foist the twenty fifth Amendment on him?

0:11:09.160 --> 0:11:11.200
<v Speaker 2>How do you rate the role of the press in

0:11:11.280 --> 0:11:14.640
<v Speaker 2>suddenly turning on the Biden administration? A lot of them

0:11:14.679 --> 0:11:16.120
<v Speaker 2>would have suspected this all along.

0:11:17.200 --> 0:11:17.480
<v Speaker 8>Yeah.

0:11:17.720 --> 0:11:20.120
<v Speaker 7>I had dinner this week with some prominent Democrats, the clinics,

0:11:20.120 --> 0:11:22.800
<v Speaker 7>some members of the press, and they were just beside

0:11:22.800 --> 0:11:26.440
<v Speaker 7>themselves as to how shocked they were to see Biden

0:11:26.520 --> 0:11:29.559
<v Speaker 7>do as badly as he did, And I kept asking them,

0:11:29.840 --> 0:11:32.240
<v Speaker 7>how are you possibly shocked? Have you only been reading

0:11:32.240 --> 0:11:35.360
<v Speaker 7>your own materials? Every conservative in the country has been

0:11:35.360 --> 0:11:38.040
<v Speaker 7>trying to raise this issue for more than two years.

0:11:38.080 --> 0:11:40.280
<v Speaker 7>You and I have talked about the time that Joe

0:11:40.320 --> 0:11:42.800
<v Speaker 7>Biden called on a dead person at a press conference.

0:11:42.960 --> 0:11:46.040
<v Speaker 7>That was from November of twenty twenty two. So, yeah,

0:11:46.880 --> 0:11:48.520
<v Speaker 7>you don't know if it's on purpose, you don't know

0:11:48.520 --> 0:11:51.640
<v Speaker 7>if they just can't help themselves. But really, this whole

0:11:51.679 --> 0:11:55.120
<v Speaker 7>episode has exposed a fisher in the American culture when

0:11:55.160 --> 0:11:57.080
<v Speaker 7>it comes to how to deal with the truth, because

0:11:57.080 --> 0:11:59.600
<v Speaker 7>there's a lot of the Democrats who've apparently been willing

0:11:59.600 --> 0:12:00.040
<v Speaker 7>to sort of.

0:12:01.720 --> 0:12:03.960
<v Speaker 5>Sweep the truth under the rug for a long time.

0:12:04.360 --> 0:12:06.240
<v Speaker 2>Well, I mean so then the question is, Nick, where

0:12:06.240 --> 0:12:08.760
<v Speaker 2>does this go from here? Obviously the President has done

0:12:09.280 --> 0:12:12.040
<v Speaker 2>just enough, I would say, in this press conference today,

0:12:12.080 --> 0:12:14.520
<v Speaker 2>the Big Boy press conference as they called it, to

0:12:14.559 --> 0:12:16.400
<v Speaker 2>stay in the race, but he hardly hit it out

0:12:16.400 --> 0:12:19.640
<v Speaker 2>of the park. What's going to happen at this Democrat

0:12:19.720 --> 0:12:22.360
<v Speaker 2>convention which is coming up, because I'm hearing more reports

0:12:22.640 --> 0:12:26.559
<v Speaker 2>of Commress people urging Biden stepside. Money taps being turned

0:12:26.600 --> 0:12:29.760
<v Speaker 2>off and even delegates now being called to have their

0:12:29.800 --> 0:12:33.840
<v Speaker 2>support checked by the Biden White House or people in

0:12:33.880 --> 0:12:36.440
<v Speaker 2>the Biden camp. Is there any chance that there might

0:12:36.440 --> 0:12:38.719
<v Speaker 2>be a shift or a movement at that convention.

0:12:39.720 --> 0:12:42.240
<v Speaker 7>James, The best guess I've got on that again talking

0:12:42.240 --> 0:12:45.040
<v Speaker 7>to people as this press conference has gone on, is

0:12:45.120 --> 0:12:48.120
<v Speaker 7>this is that this wasn't bad enough to get him

0:12:48.200 --> 0:12:50.839
<v Speaker 7>kicked out of the race. It's also not good enough

0:12:50.840 --> 0:12:53.560
<v Speaker 7>to put all the concerns about him to bed, which

0:12:53.600 --> 0:12:54.040
<v Speaker 7>means that.

0:12:54.000 --> 0:12:56.319
<v Speaker 5>The slow bleed that you've seen over the.

0:12:56.240 --> 0:12:59.480
<v Speaker 7>Course for the last twelve days since the debate is

0:12:59.600 --> 0:13:02.600
<v Speaker 7>going to continue. You ask about the Democrat convention, it's

0:13:02.600 --> 0:13:05.120
<v Speaker 7>a fascinating question, but keep in mind the Republican Convention

0:13:05.520 --> 0:13:09.319
<v Speaker 7>is intervening, will begin on I think Monday in this country,

0:13:09.679 --> 0:13:12.160
<v Speaker 7>and it's gonna be fascinating to see how Donald Trump

0:13:12.480 --> 0:13:14.960
<v Speaker 7>handles it. Specifically, as to his selection of a vice

0:13:15.000 --> 0:13:17.800
<v Speaker 7>presidential candidate, he almost has to guess as to whether

0:13:17.840 --> 0:13:19.600
<v Speaker 7>or not Biden will remain at the top of the ticket,

0:13:19.679 --> 0:13:21.000
<v Speaker 7>or whether or not the top of the ticket will be

0:13:21.080 --> 0:13:24.600
<v Speaker 7>Paul Harris or somebody else as he makes his vice

0:13:24.679 --> 0:13:27.800
<v Speaker 7>presidential pick. Because face it to be honest, you got

0:13:27.840 --> 0:13:30.080
<v Speaker 7>to think that his pick for vice president would be

0:13:30.160 --> 0:13:33.000
<v Speaker 7>different with a Biden Harris team or a Hairs somebody

0:13:33.080 --> 0:13:35.839
<v Speaker 7>other team, or somebody else somebody else team. So it's

0:13:35.840 --> 0:13:38.400
<v Speaker 7>a very difficult thing to do as a Republican to

0:13:38.400 --> 0:13:41.040
<v Speaker 7>try and anticipate who you're running against. When there's no

0:13:41.160 --> 0:13:44.080
<v Speaker 7>definitive answer in coming out of this press conference, the

0:13:44.160 --> 0:13:45.760
<v Speaker 7>slow bleed will continue.

0:13:46.000 --> 0:13:47.920
<v Speaker 5>I don't think that Joe Biden will be able to.

0:13:49.520 --> 0:13:52.319
<v Speaker 7>Proceed as the Democrat nominee, but if he wants to,

0:13:52.640 --> 0:13:53.680
<v Speaker 7>he will.

0:13:53.840 --> 0:13:56.160
<v Speaker 2>Well, this is the thing that I find really interesting

0:13:56.240 --> 0:13:58.040
<v Speaker 2>is that there's an awful lot of people who've studied

0:13:58.040 --> 0:14:00.640
<v Speaker 2>and watched Joe Biden for years and years, decades, even

0:14:00.679 --> 0:14:04.880
<v Speaker 2>because he's been around basically forever, who say that stubbornness

0:14:05.240 --> 0:14:10.199
<v Speaker 2>is the thing that defines his presidency, his entire political life,

0:14:10.320 --> 0:14:14.800
<v Speaker 2>and if he likes being president, he doesn't care what

0:14:14.840 --> 0:14:18.200
<v Speaker 2>people think. Is this the ego now getting in the

0:14:18.240 --> 0:14:21.600
<v Speaker 2>way of well, you know, potentially even the security of

0:14:21.640 --> 0:14:22.280
<v Speaker 2>the free world.

0:14:23.600 --> 0:14:25.040
<v Speaker 7>Well, a lot of that turns on whether or not

0:14:25.040 --> 0:14:28.080
<v Speaker 7>that stubbornness is an inherited trait. Because we're hearing and

0:14:28.120 --> 0:14:31.040
<v Speaker 7>I'm not making this up that Hunter Biden has assumed

0:14:31.040 --> 0:14:34.600
<v Speaker 7>a significant leadership role within the White House right now.

0:14:34.640 --> 0:14:38.560
<v Speaker 7>So the team is advising him, seems to be his family.

0:14:38.840 --> 0:14:41.120
<v Speaker 7>So is his wife Jill as stubborn as he is.

0:14:41.120 --> 0:14:43.960
<v Speaker 7>Is Hunter inhered to that stubbornness. If that's the case,

0:14:44.600 --> 0:14:46.560
<v Speaker 7>those are probably the only people that can talk him

0:14:46.640 --> 0:14:49.400
<v Speaker 7>out of running for president right now. Nancy Pelosi can't

0:14:49.440 --> 0:14:51.480
<v Speaker 7>do it, Chuck Schumer can't do it. Barack Obama can't

0:14:51.480 --> 0:14:53.760
<v Speaker 7>do it. Apparently George Clooney can't even do it. He's

0:14:53.800 --> 0:14:56.479
<v Speaker 7>listening to his family, curious to see if that stubbornness

0:14:56.560 --> 0:14:57.640
<v Speaker 7>goes beyond just him.

0:14:58.080 --> 0:15:00.680
<v Speaker 2>But this is like this crazy, almost sort of downfall

0:15:00.760 --> 0:15:05.680
<v Speaker 2>situation here. You know, it's the President, it's Jill, it's Hunter,

0:15:05.880 --> 0:15:09.680
<v Speaker 2>all kind of bunkered down in the Oval Office. And

0:15:09.720 --> 0:15:12.240
<v Speaker 2>then we've got this situation where even if the entire

0:15:12.280 --> 0:15:15.520
<v Speaker 2>Democrat money machine turns off and everybody says, no, we've

0:15:15.520 --> 0:15:18.760
<v Speaker 2>got to have Kamala Harris, God help us or somebody else, well,

0:15:18.800 --> 0:15:21.680
<v Speaker 2>there's there's really still nothing they can do to budget him.

0:15:21.880 --> 0:15:23.160
<v Speaker 1>It's just simply not possible.

0:15:24.240 --> 0:15:27.120
<v Speaker 7>That's right again, when I was having dinner with the Democrats,

0:15:27.120 --> 0:15:29.000
<v Speaker 7>this week with those things they made clear and they

0:15:29.000 --> 0:15:31.760
<v Speaker 7>wanted everybody to understand is this is up to Joe Biden.

0:15:32.080 --> 0:15:35.800
<v Speaker 7>He has the delegates necessary to become the Democrat nominee

0:15:35.840 --> 0:15:38.400
<v Speaker 7>for president, period, end of story. That's not going to

0:15:38.480 --> 0:15:41.000
<v Speaker 7>change unless he wants it to change. If he wants

0:15:41.040 --> 0:15:43.320
<v Speaker 7>to be on that ballot in November, and he's alive,

0:15:43.720 --> 0:15:45.760
<v Speaker 7>he is going to be on that ballot. So this

0:15:45.880 --> 0:15:48.760
<v Speaker 7>is all at his court. It's nobody can take it

0:15:48.800 --> 0:15:52.040
<v Speaker 7>away from there. I guess there's one exception. Vice President

0:15:52.080 --> 0:15:54.040
<v Speaker 7>Kamala Harris could make a motion under the twenty fifth

0:15:54.080 --> 0:15:57.520
<v Speaker 7>Amendment to have him declared incompetent right now for office,

0:15:57.520 --> 0:15:59.800
<v Speaker 7>but I would never imagine that happening. Short of that,

0:16:00.360 --> 0:16:01.920
<v Speaker 7>the ball isn't Joe Biden's court.

0:16:02.760 --> 0:16:04.960
<v Speaker 2>Hey, look, you know we've talked a lot about the Bidens,

0:16:04.960 --> 0:16:07.600
<v Speaker 2>but let's talk about the Trump family now for a second,

0:16:07.640 --> 0:16:11.000
<v Speaker 2>because we had kind of a new hero emerged amongst

0:16:11.040 --> 0:16:19.040
<v Speaker 2>the Republican Party this week. Have a look at this here.

0:16:15.960 --> 0:16:16.920
<v Speaker 1>Young man.

0:16:20.360 --> 0:16:22.960
<v Speaker 2>He's now going to college, gun into every.

0:16:22.840 --> 0:16:27.280
<v Speaker 8>College he wanted to, and he made his choice and

0:16:27.400 --> 0:16:29.560
<v Speaker 8>he's a very good guy.

0:16:29.640 --> 0:16:30.280
<v Speaker 6>I'll tell you.

0:16:31.360 --> 0:16:35.120
<v Speaker 2>They had a standing ovation for Trump's youngest son, Baron Trump.

0:16:35.440 --> 0:16:36.600
<v Speaker 1>This was his first.

0:16:36.280 --> 0:16:39.160
<v Speaker 2>Time at a campaign rally, and I saw people like

0:16:39.280 --> 0:16:43.200
<v Speaker 2>Morgan Freeman on Twitter absolutely losing their mind that there

0:16:43.240 --> 0:16:46.560
<v Speaker 2>could be a Trump dynasty here. Does this reveal some

0:16:46.640 --> 0:16:50.000
<v Speaker 2>of the anger on Twitter and elsewhere, just how unhinged

0:16:50.040 --> 0:16:52.840
<v Speaker 2>and deranged some of the people who are anti Trump

0:16:52.840 --> 0:16:53.520
<v Speaker 2>out there are.

0:16:54.480 --> 0:16:56.680
<v Speaker 7>Sure they're beating up on an eighteen year old kid

0:16:56.720 --> 0:16:59.360
<v Speaker 7>for going to his dad's political rally. Seriously, come on,

0:17:00.800 --> 0:17:03.880
<v Speaker 7>Arrangement syndrome is not limited to Donald J. Trump, There's

0:17:03.880 --> 0:17:06.719
<v Speaker 7>no question about that. It goes across the entire family.

0:17:06.760 --> 0:17:08.720
<v Speaker 7>So it's hard to see. Look, he's a good kid,

0:17:09.240 --> 0:17:10.520
<v Speaker 7>you know. I didn't spend a lot of time with

0:17:10.600 --> 0:17:11.879
<v Speaker 7>him because he was very young when I was in

0:17:11.920 --> 0:17:12.840
<v Speaker 7>the White House with him.

0:17:12.680 --> 0:17:15.280
<v Speaker 5>But the President thinks very very highly of him, as

0:17:15.280 --> 0:17:15.760
<v Speaker 5>he should.

0:17:16.160 --> 0:17:18.200
<v Speaker 7>Good looking kid. By the way, you couldn't see it,

0:17:18.240 --> 0:17:19.960
<v Speaker 7>and you didn't get a perspective. I think he's like

0:17:20.040 --> 0:17:23.240
<v Speaker 7>six six or six seven. Yeah, he's well over tall

0:17:23.640 --> 0:17:25.400
<v Speaker 7>in the strange way that you guys measure down there.

0:17:26.119 --> 0:17:30.159
<v Speaker 5>But he's an eighteen year old kid going to his

0:17:30.280 --> 0:17:32.080
<v Speaker 5>dad's political relly.

0:17:32.119 --> 0:17:35.439
<v Speaker 7>What's wrong with that. So look, Morgan, let Morgan Freeman

0:17:35.720 --> 0:17:37.120
<v Speaker 7>be an old man yelling at clouds.

0:17:37.160 --> 0:17:39.119
<v Speaker 5>That's fine, that's He's not the oldest one in the

0:17:39.119 --> 0:17:39.760
<v Speaker 5>country doing that.

0:17:40.440 --> 0:17:41.480
<v Speaker 1>How the mighty have fallen?

0:17:41.520 --> 0:17:43.119
<v Speaker 2>Hey, before you go, Mick, I want to show you

0:17:43.160 --> 0:17:45.199
<v Speaker 2>this clip of Donald Trump with Brian killed me and

0:17:45.200 --> 0:17:46.240
<v Speaker 2>how a look at this on.

0:17:46.320 --> 0:17:47.520
<v Speaker 1>Your vice president candidate.

0:17:47.560 --> 0:17:49.919
<v Speaker 7>Word is that you will pick jd Events because of

0:17:49.960 --> 0:17:50.880
<v Speaker 7>his facial hair?

0:17:51.240 --> 0:17:58.080
<v Speaker 1>Is that? Is that true? Facial young Abraham Lincoln right.

0:17:57.920 --> 0:17:59.120
<v Speaker 5>He's a handsome man.

0:17:59.640 --> 0:18:04.200
<v Speaker 9>Doug Doug burgham on abortion in North Dakota.

0:18:04.520 --> 0:18:07.680
<v Speaker 1>He signed something legislation handed him. Does that hurt him?

0:18:08.160 --> 0:18:11.440
<v Speaker 1>It's an issue? And lastly, Mark Ruby an issue.

0:18:11.359 --> 0:18:14.480
<v Speaker 7>Where Mark Rubio and being from Florida, would that stop

0:18:14.560 --> 0:18:17.760
<v Speaker 7>you from picking him?

0:18:18.520 --> 0:18:20.720
<v Speaker 9>No, but it does make it more complicated.

0:18:20.800 --> 0:18:23.119
<v Speaker 1>You know you will do that, and it makes it

0:18:23.200 --> 0:18:26.800
<v Speaker 1>more complicated. There are people that don't have that complication.

0:18:28.080 --> 0:18:31.520
<v Speaker 2>So just come back to that question of the VP pick.

0:18:32.040 --> 0:18:33.880
<v Speaker 2>There was a few names thrown out there. You got

0:18:33.880 --> 0:18:36.159
<v Speaker 2>the reactions. We've spoken about some of your thoughts in

0:18:36.200 --> 0:18:38.320
<v Speaker 2>the past. Who are you sticking with here? Who do

0:18:38.359 --> 0:18:38.680
<v Speaker 2>you reckon?

0:18:38.680 --> 0:18:41.399
<v Speaker 1>It's going to be what I'm hearing, I'll get you.

0:18:41.400 --> 0:18:43.000
<v Speaker 5>Two answers that question. What I'm hearing is the JD.

0:18:43.119 --> 0:18:45.840
<v Speaker 7>Vances is moved to the top of the list, and

0:18:45.880 --> 0:18:47.640
<v Speaker 7>I think that makes some sense. There was a lot

0:18:47.680 --> 0:18:49.840
<v Speaker 7>of discussion about his facial hair, but as soon as

0:18:49.880 --> 0:18:52.320
<v Speaker 7>Donald Trump says you look like a young Abraham Lincoln,

0:18:52.320 --> 0:18:54.720
<v Speaker 7>that means you look like you're from Central Casting, and

0:18:54.800 --> 0:18:57.960
<v Speaker 7>he loves people who look the part. So JD certainly

0:18:57.960 --> 0:18:59.240
<v Speaker 7>could be on the short part of the list. I

0:18:59.280 --> 0:19:02.640
<v Speaker 7>don't think Doug Burr is going to make the final cut.

0:19:02.680 --> 0:19:04.200
<v Speaker 7>The two names that I will give out, one you've

0:19:04.240 --> 0:19:06.000
<v Speaker 7>heard from me before and one we haven't talked about

0:19:06.040 --> 0:19:08.800
<v Speaker 7>in a while. I still think Ben Carson is in consideration,

0:19:09.359 --> 0:19:12.600
<v Speaker 7>the former Secretary of Housing Interman Development in the.

0:19:12.520 --> 0:19:13.520
<v Speaker 5>First Trump administration.

0:19:13.960 --> 0:19:15.800
<v Speaker 7>And a name we haven't talked about in a while,

0:19:16.480 --> 0:19:19.280
<v Speaker 7>Christy No, governor of South Dakota.

0:19:19.320 --> 0:19:19.960
<v Speaker 5>Why is that.

0:19:20.840 --> 0:19:23.399
<v Speaker 7>I think if the Trump team believes that Kamala Harris

0:19:23.520 --> 0:19:25.480
<v Speaker 7>is going to be the top of the Democrat ticket,

0:19:25.760 --> 0:19:27.399
<v Speaker 7>they believe they're going to need a woman as a

0:19:27.440 --> 0:19:29.800
<v Speaker 7>vice president, and I think Christy Nome goes back on

0:19:29.840 --> 0:19:31.880
<v Speaker 7>the list, a list she was on, by the way,

0:19:31.920 --> 0:19:33.959
<v Speaker 7>for a long time until she had that blow up

0:19:33.960 --> 0:19:36.040
<v Speaker 7>about shooting her dog. But I think she might have

0:19:36.119 --> 0:19:38.160
<v Speaker 7>rehabilitated herself to the point where she could be back

0:19:38.160 --> 0:19:38.640
<v Speaker 7>on the list.

0:19:38.680 --> 0:19:41.560
<v Speaker 5>Well, no, in the next seventy two hours or so.

0:19:42.080 --> 0:19:44.919
<v Speaker 2>Well, the US Report is a great lover of dogs,

0:19:44.920 --> 0:19:47.640
<v Speaker 2>so I think we are not on the Christy nome bendwagon.

0:19:47.720 --> 0:19:50.080
<v Speaker 2>But Mick mulvady, thank you so much for your time

0:19:50.760 --> 0:19:53.080
<v Speaker 2>for joining us here on the US Report. Let's turn

0:19:53.119 --> 0:19:56.000
<v Speaker 2>now to the crisis in American cities right now at

0:19:56.040 --> 0:19:58.320
<v Speaker 2>New York City in particular, which is back in the

0:19:58.359 --> 0:20:02.240
<v Speaker 2>headlines as the state overrun by migrants who have arrived

0:20:02.280 --> 0:20:06.199
<v Speaker 2>as a result of Joe Biden's open border policies. For

0:20:06.280 --> 0:20:09.600
<v Speaker 2>the latest on this and also what's going on with

0:20:09.720 --> 0:20:13.320
<v Speaker 2>their trash situation, I'm joined by New York City Councilor

0:20:13.359 --> 0:20:15.760
<v Speaker 2>Joe Brelly. Joe, thank you so much for coming on

0:20:15.800 --> 0:20:18.440
<v Speaker 2>the US Report. A lot going on around America and

0:20:18.480 --> 0:20:20.720
<v Speaker 2>around the world, but I want to talk to you

0:20:20.760 --> 0:20:23.560
<v Speaker 2>about a specific story with the New York Post, which

0:20:23.640 --> 0:20:26.719
<v Speaker 2>is exposed that the poorest neighborhoods in the Five Boroughs

0:20:26.760 --> 0:20:30.119
<v Speaker 2>of New York are now being flooded by migrants who

0:20:30.160 --> 0:20:33.960
<v Speaker 2>have been brought over and welcomed in by the Biden administration.

0:20:34.040 --> 0:20:37.280
<v Speaker 2>It's causing huge quality of life issues. Tell us what

0:20:37.359 --> 0:20:39.040
<v Speaker 2>this means for New Yorkers.

0:20:40.160 --> 0:20:44.000
<v Speaker 8>Well, it means they're subjugated to roving packs of migrants

0:20:44.000 --> 0:20:48.040
<v Speaker 8>on mopeds committing countless crimes day in and day out.

0:20:48.359 --> 0:20:51.359
<v Speaker 8>These are people who came in drips and grabs in

0:20:51.400 --> 0:20:54.400
<v Speaker 8>the beginning, but now there are over sixty five thousand

0:20:54.480 --> 0:20:56.760
<v Speaker 8>in our care and our city. And yes, I mean

0:20:56.800 --> 0:21:00.199
<v Speaker 8>a lot of these camps and hotels are located in

0:21:00.240 --> 0:21:03.399
<v Speaker 8>some of the poorer communities. It's in these poorer communities

0:21:03.440 --> 0:21:06.760
<v Speaker 8>where there were vacant hotel rooms, vacant buildings that can

0:21:06.800 --> 0:21:09.879
<v Speaker 8>be converted into shelter, etc. So it's not surprising that

0:21:09.960 --> 0:21:13.119
<v Speaker 8>there's a concentration there. The surprise, though, is that some

0:21:13.160 --> 0:21:16.119
<v Speaker 8>of the politicians who represent these communities have been some

0:21:16.200 --> 0:21:19.359
<v Speaker 8>of the most vocal, woke leftists who have been demanding

0:21:19.400 --> 0:21:22.960
<v Speaker 8>we remain a sanctuary city and demanding we give more,

0:21:23.160 --> 0:21:25.639
<v Speaker 8>not less, to these migrants. And now they're sort of

0:21:25.640 --> 0:21:28.720
<v Speaker 8>backtracking as their own constituents have to deal with the

0:21:28.760 --> 0:21:32.720
<v Speaker 8>backlash and the problems associated with just massive homeless shelters

0:21:32.760 --> 0:21:33.439
<v Speaker 8>on every corner.

0:21:34.080 --> 0:21:36.159
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, this is a question that I have then, is

0:21:36.640 --> 0:21:41.080
<v Speaker 2>as people in these areas which are economically disadvantaged, the

0:21:41.200 --> 0:21:44.280
<v Speaker 2>very aspirational people are working hard, trying to make a

0:21:44.320 --> 0:21:47.480
<v Speaker 2>better life for themselves and their families. Yet what is

0:21:47.520 --> 0:21:51.239
<v Speaker 2>their political reaction to their leaders, their elected officials, who

0:21:51.359 --> 0:21:54.639
<v Speaker 2>then come and foist all these people in their neighborhood,

0:21:54.800 --> 0:21:57.600
<v Speaker 2>who then don't have to pay rent, who get free

0:21:57.640 --> 0:22:00.159
<v Speaker 2>food and get free benefits and so on, when all

0:22:00.200 --> 0:22:02.600
<v Speaker 2>of the locals are struggling and working hard to provide

0:22:02.640 --> 0:22:03.480
<v Speaker 2>for their families.

0:22:04.800 --> 0:22:07.400
<v Speaker 8>They're very frustrated, I mean, and they're very frustrated at

0:22:07.400 --> 0:22:10.200
<v Speaker 8>the sort of far left of the Democratic Party. By

0:22:10.200 --> 0:22:12.240
<v Speaker 8>the way, so many of these people in these communities

0:22:12.280 --> 0:22:15.840
<v Speaker 8>are migrants, immigrants really themselves, who have come here at

0:22:15.880 --> 0:22:19.560
<v Speaker 8>times past legally the proper channels, or they're awaiting their

0:22:19.600 --> 0:22:23.000
<v Speaker 8>citizenship and they have a US green card, and they're

0:22:23.000 --> 0:22:25.480
<v Speaker 8>doing things the right way. So they are under a

0:22:25.480 --> 0:22:31.120
<v Speaker 8>tremendous amount of pressure in competition for resources in these communities,

0:22:31.359 --> 0:22:33.199
<v Speaker 8>and I think we're seeing them start to turn on

0:22:33.240 --> 0:22:37.480
<v Speaker 8>some of the far left politicians that represent these communities.

0:22:37.480 --> 0:22:41.159
<v Speaker 8>We actually almost won our state governorship last time, with

0:22:41.400 --> 0:22:43.920
<v Speaker 8>Lee Zelden losing by only six points, which in New

0:22:44.000 --> 0:22:46.919
<v Speaker 8>York state history that has not happened at any time

0:22:47.000 --> 0:22:47.760
<v Speaker 8>in the recent past.

0:22:48.119 --> 0:22:51.000
<v Speaker 2>Well, yeah, we covered that very extensively on the US Report,

0:22:51.040 --> 0:22:54.080
<v Speaker 2>and Kathy Hochel she had quite a scare there, because

0:22:54.359 --> 0:22:57.440
<v Speaker 2>you know, New York should be running as a Democrat state.

0:22:57.880 --> 0:23:01.640
<v Speaker 2>But as the tide turns on this support and on

0:23:01.760 --> 0:23:05.399
<v Speaker 2>the issue of migrants as well as just the general economy,

0:23:05.840 --> 0:23:08.800
<v Speaker 2>I'm hearing that senior Democrats are fearing that the traditionally

0:23:08.840 --> 0:23:11.600
<v Speaker 2>blue New York might turn red. There's been a top

0:23:11.600 --> 0:23:14.640
<v Speaker 2>New York Democrat who says that he believes New York

0:23:14.720 --> 0:23:18.359
<v Speaker 2>is actually a battleground state. Do you agree with that assessment?

0:23:19.920 --> 0:23:23.640
<v Speaker 8>I do, and maybe not for the statewide US Senate seat,

0:23:23.720 --> 0:23:26.600
<v Speaker 8>that's kind of an uphill battle against an incumbent, But

0:23:26.720 --> 0:23:29.560
<v Speaker 8>there are a number of House of Representative seats on

0:23:29.600 --> 0:23:32.720
<v Speaker 8>Long Island and in the Hudson Valley which have become

0:23:32.760 --> 0:23:36.399
<v Speaker 8>the real battleground for Congress. The internal polling has those

0:23:36.680 --> 0:23:41.560
<v Speaker 8>incumbent Democrats even losing substantially to the Republican counterparts. And

0:23:41.600 --> 0:23:43.639
<v Speaker 8>all this is sort of as a result not just

0:23:43.680 --> 0:23:46.720
<v Speaker 8>of Kathy Hochel, not just of the Democratic failures in

0:23:46.760 --> 0:23:49.720
<v Speaker 8>New York, but it's also of the burden of Joe Biden,

0:23:49.920 --> 0:23:52.520
<v Speaker 8>this anchor of a president who is just weighing down

0:23:52.640 --> 0:23:54.920
<v Speaker 8>so many people in swing districts around the state.

0:23:55.480 --> 0:23:58.760
<v Speaker 2>And with that Biden effect, then you know that once

0:23:58.800 --> 0:24:01.160
<v Speaker 2>you get sort of north of you know, Dutchess County,

0:24:01.160 --> 0:24:05.480
<v Speaker 2>Columbia County, New York State turns quite Republican. Is there

0:24:05.600 --> 0:24:08.119
<v Speaker 2>enough votes in it for Donald Trump in some of

0:24:08.160 --> 0:24:10.960
<v Speaker 2>these marginal areas of New York City and possibly Long

0:24:11.000 --> 0:24:13.160
<v Speaker 2>Island in the suburbs that could then bring I think

0:24:13.160 --> 0:24:16.040
<v Speaker 2>it's what twenty eight electoral votes over in the Republican camp.

0:24:17.520 --> 0:24:20.199
<v Speaker 8>It's possible, and that's the strategy. The strategy for New

0:24:20.280 --> 0:24:22.800
<v Speaker 8>York has always been for Republicans to win the upstate

0:24:22.840 --> 0:24:27.480
<v Speaker 8>portions significantly, getting sixty to seventy percent, to lose the city,

0:24:27.480 --> 0:24:31.560
<v Speaker 8>which unfortunately we most likely will. But it's these really

0:24:31.600 --> 0:24:35.840
<v Speaker 8>these competitive suburban counties where the Republican Party has been

0:24:35.840 --> 0:24:38.720
<v Speaker 8>focused on and even where the Democratic Party has been

0:24:38.760 --> 0:24:41.920
<v Speaker 8>forced to be focused on. They just lost an incumbent member,

0:24:42.000 --> 0:24:46.560
<v Speaker 8>Jamal Bowman, who was a radical far less member, and

0:24:46.600 --> 0:24:49.399
<v Speaker 8>they elected a moderate Democrat, a guy I served with

0:24:49.520 --> 0:24:51.880
<v Speaker 8>the state legislature. You know, you might be a Democrat,

0:24:51.960 --> 0:24:54.359
<v Speaker 8>but he's a decent human being. So we are seeing

0:24:54.400 --> 0:24:59.440
<v Speaker 8>these pushbacks against Democrats in these very, very very critical districts.

0:24:59.480 --> 0:25:02.040
<v Speaker 8>If Akim Jeffries wants to be the Speaker of the

0:25:02.040 --> 0:25:04.719
<v Speaker 8>House and not the minority leader, he has to really

0:25:04.840 --> 0:25:06.160
<v Speaker 8>do a good job winning.

0:25:06.000 --> 0:25:07.120
<v Speaker 5>Some seats in his home state.

0:25:07.359 --> 0:25:09.600
<v Speaker 8>I don't think that happens with Kathy Hochel and the

0:25:09.640 --> 0:25:12.000
<v Speaker 8>migrants and all the prices here, and I don't think

0:25:12.000 --> 0:25:15.359
<v Speaker 8>this happens any chance with Joe Biden on top of

0:25:15.400 --> 0:25:15.760
<v Speaker 8>the ticket.

0:25:16.040 --> 0:25:17.960
<v Speaker 2>Oh it's a great reminder that, you know, there's so

0:25:18.080 --> 0:25:20.639
<v Speaker 2>much at stake downplay control of the Senate, control of

0:25:20.640 --> 0:25:22.440
<v Speaker 2>the House, and all of these other offices. But before

0:25:22.440 --> 0:25:23.879
<v Speaker 2>I let you go, I also have to talk to

0:25:23.880 --> 0:25:27.160
<v Speaker 2>you about this as a fellow New Yorker. And despite

0:25:27.240 --> 0:25:31.320
<v Speaker 2>all this chaos, Mayor Eric Adams he's now found the

0:25:31.400 --> 0:25:35.159
<v Speaker 2>time to reveal that there's a new bin regime in

0:25:35.200 --> 0:25:37.120
<v Speaker 2>New York. Here he is a couple of days ago.

0:25:49.960 --> 0:25:52.720
<v Speaker 2>Now what's amazing about this is apparently the city spent

0:25:52.800 --> 0:25:57.439
<v Speaker 2>something like four million US dollars with McKinsey to figure

0:25:57.480 --> 0:25:58.879
<v Speaker 2>out how to have trash bins.

0:25:58.880 --> 0:25:59.800
<v Speaker 1>Tell us about this.

0:26:00.960 --> 0:26:03.280
<v Speaker 8>Well, look, you know, this is not really a totally

0:26:03.320 --> 0:26:06.560
<v Speaker 8>bad development. You know, we have to pay consultants to

0:26:06.680 --> 0:26:09.880
<v Speaker 8>you know, figure some stuff out because our sanitation department

0:26:09.960 --> 0:26:12.119
<v Speaker 8>is larger than the Army of the Republic of Ireland.

0:26:12.359 --> 0:26:14.520
<v Speaker 8>So it is a pretty big system that we have

0:26:14.640 --> 0:26:18.600
<v Speaker 8>to manage. And frankly, we do have a trash problem

0:26:18.640 --> 0:26:21.600
<v Speaker 8>and a rat problem. And the reason we have these

0:26:21.640 --> 0:26:23.920
<v Speaker 8>problems is because a lot of New Yorkers simply can't

0:26:23.920 --> 0:26:26.440
<v Speaker 8>figure out how to put their trash in a proper bin.

0:26:26.840 --> 0:26:28.560
<v Speaker 5>So I'm not really opposed.

0:26:28.800 --> 0:26:31.639
<v Speaker 8>I'm opposed to the cost of this. Unfortunately, this is

0:26:31.680 --> 0:26:35.280
<v Speaker 8>a burden homeowners with a forty five dollars pail that

0:26:35.280 --> 0:26:37.560
<v Speaker 8>they have to buy three of. If it was free,

0:26:37.680 --> 0:26:40.960
<v Speaker 8>like many municipalities around the country, and you pay for

0:26:41.000 --> 0:26:43.560
<v Speaker 8>the service as part of your property taxes, I wouldn't

0:26:43.600 --> 0:26:46.320
<v Speaker 8>have any problem with it whatsoever. I just don't want

0:26:46.359 --> 0:26:48.360
<v Speaker 8>the extra cost. But we do have a rat problem

0:26:48.600 --> 0:26:50.800
<v Speaker 8>and this will hopefully solve that fair enough.

0:26:50.840 --> 0:26:52.600
<v Speaker 2>But you know what, I think four million dollars for

0:26:52.680 --> 0:26:55.040
<v Speaker 2>Mackenzie they could have asked Oscar the Grouch and gotten

0:26:55.040 --> 0:26:57.439
<v Speaker 2>that advice for free. Thank you so much, Joe Brelly.

0:26:57.480 --> 0:27:01.119
<v Speaker 2>Now after the break, are we watching us low motion coup?

0:27:01.480 --> 0:27:04.919
<v Speaker 2>Newsweek's Batia Angar Sargan joins me to talk about the

0:27:04.960 --> 0:27:08.560
<v Speaker 2>elite push to dump Biden and how no matter what happens,

0:27:08.880 --> 0:27:13.840
<v Speaker 2>American democracy is screwed. But before that, it's pretty well

0:27:13.920 --> 0:27:19.240
<v Speaker 2>established that Jill Biden, oh sorry, doctor Jill Biden, yes,

0:27:19.320 --> 0:27:23.720
<v Speaker 2>that's right, absolutely loves being First Lady. But I want

0:27:23.760 --> 0:27:26.879
<v Speaker 2>to show you something that really reveals just how much

0:27:27.160 --> 0:27:30.680
<v Speaker 2>she loves the office. Now you know how presidents always

0:27:30.720 --> 0:27:34.200
<v Speaker 2>have the band strike up Hail to the Chief. Well,

0:27:34.280 --> 0:27:37.040
<v Speaker 2>a couple of years ago, Jill Biden got the US

0:27:37.160 --> 0:27:41.679
<v Speaker 2>Marine Band to compose her own theme music. I present

0:27:41.800 --> 0:28:04.760
<v Speaker 2>to you the utterly cringe composition, Fanfare for the First Lady.

0:28:06.119 --> 0:28:08.000
<v Speaker 2>And it goes on and on and on, and they

0:28:08.040 --> 0:28:11.760
<v Speaker 2>only stop using that music when Washington journalists Team Beckett

0:28:11.800 --> 0:28:15.520
<v Speaker 2>Adams started asking questions and embarrassed the White House into

0:28:15.560 --> 0:28:19.160
<v Speaker 2>shelving that little ditty. So if you think Lady Macbeth

0:28:19.200 --> 0:28:22.399
<v Speaker 2>of the pot Tobac is giving up power easily, well

0:28:22.640 --> 0:28:26.600
<v Speaker 2>again think again Newsweek's batcha a. Gar Saragan joins me

0:28:26.640 --> 0:28:37.360
<v Speaker 2>after the break, don't go anywhere, Welcome back to the program.

0:28:37.400 --> 0:28:39.280
<v Speaker 2>In a moment, I'll be joined by a very special

0:28:39.320 --> 0:28:42.080
<v Speaker 2>guest who thinks we should all be concerned that American

0:28:42.120 --> 0:28:45.840
<v Speaker 2>elites are trying to boot Joe Biden after foisting him

0:28:45.880 --> 0:28:47.520
<v Speaker 2>on the world for four years.

0:28:48.240 --> 0:28:49.560
<v Speaker 1>But first, it looks like.

0:28:49.640 --> 0:28:53.840
<v Speaker 2>Joe Biden has lost a key Democrat constituency. No, I'm

0:28:53.840 --> 0:28:57.600
<v Speaker 2>not talking about the Congressional Black Caucus or the CNN newsroom.

0:28:58.280 --> 0:28:59.160
<v Speaker 1>I'm talking about.

0:28:59.000 --> 0:29:02.920
<v Speaker 2>Hollywood, where the stars are no longer aligned for Joe Biden,

0:29:03.520 --> 0:29:07.080
<v Speaker 2>but instead increasingly seem to want him out of the race.

0:29:08.080 --> 0:29:09.959
<v Speaker 2>One of the huge stories over the past twenty four

0:29:10.000 --> 0:29:12.000
<v Speaker 2>hours has been George Clooney's op ed in The New

0:29:12.080 --> 0:29:16.320
<v Speaker 2>York Times, in which he writes that he loves Joe Biden,

0:29:16.880 --> 0:29:20.480
<v Speaker 2>though possibly not enough to shower with him, but despite this,

0:29:20.880 --> 0:29:26.000
<v Speaker 2>the President should step aside. Why well, because he has

0:29:26.040 --> 0:29:29.000
<v Speaker 2>finally admitted what the rest of us have known for

0:29:29.040 --> 0:29:32.800
<v Speaker 2>a while. Joe Biden's mind and body are failing and

0:29:32.840 --> 0:29:35.640
<v Speaker 2>he's not up to the job. Of course, he only

0:29:35.720 --> 0:29:39.800
<v Speaker 2>admitted this because of what happened at that debate, when again,

0:29:40.560 --> 0:29:44.800
<v Speaker 2>there was no place for this to hide, writes Clooney, quote,

0:29:45.400 --> 0:29:48.479
<v Speaker 2>our party leaders need to stop telling us that fifty

0:29:48.480 --> 0:29:52.600
<v Speaker 2>one million people didn't see what we just saw. As Democrats,

0:29:52.640 --> 0:29:55.600
<v Speaker 2>we collectively hold our breath or turn down the volume

0:29:55.920 --> 0:29:59.920
<v Speaker 2>whenever we see the president whom we respect, walk on

0:30:00.200 --> 0:30:02.560
<v Speaker 2>fair force one or walk back to a mic to

0:30:02.680 --> 0:30:04.280
<v Speaker 2>answer an unscripted question.

0:30:05.480 --> 0:30:06.920
<v Speaker 1>And then Cloudy wrote.

0:30:06.680 --> 0:30:10.800
<v Speaker 2>This, It's devastating to say it, but the Joe Biden

0:30:10.880 --> 0:30:14.080
<v Speaker 2>I was with three weeks ago at a fundraiser was

0:30:14.120 --> 0:30:17.120
<v Speaker 2>not the Joe big effing deal Biden of twenty ten.

0:30:17.960 --> 0:30:21.040
<v Speaker 2>He wasn't even the Joe Biden of twenty twenty. He

0:30:21.160 --> 0:30:28.480
<v Speaker 2>was the same man we all witnessed at the debate. Well, really, George,

0:30:28.520 --> 0:30:31.479
<v Speaker 2>thanks for telling us. Let's go have a look at

0:30:31.480 --> 0:30:35.080
<v Speaker 2>that fundraiser, shall we. This is vision of what happened there.

0:30:35.160 --> 0:30:38.560
<v Speaker 2>Remember when Joe Biden froze on stage and Barack Obama

0:30:38.600 --> 0:30:42.520
<v Speaker 2>had to lead him off. Remember that we played that

0:30:42.600 --> 0:30:45.640
<v Speaker 2>clip on this program. But remember what happened when people

0:30:45.680 --> 0:30:47.880
<v Speaker 2>asked White House flat Karine Jean Pierre about it.

0:30:48.680 --> 0:30:52.680
<v Speaker 6>President Obama President Biden have a relationship. They are friends.

0:30:52.920 --> 0:30:54.960
<v Speaker 6>They're like family to each other. And I think that's

0:30:55.000 --> 0:30:58.160
<v Speaker 6>what you saw. So the President put his hand behind

0:30:58.360 --> 0:31:02.840
<v Speaker 6>on the back of a President Biden, and they walked

0:31:02.840 --> 0:31:07.840
<v Speaker 6>off the stage after taking questions or at an event,

0:31:07.840 --> 0:31:09.280
<v Speaker 6>taking questions from Jimmy Kimmel.

0:31:09.400 --> 0:31:10.520
<v Speaker 1>That is what you saw.

0:31:11.560 --> 0:31:14.040
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, everything was fine. She wanted us to believe it

0:31:14.080 --> 0:31:16.959
<v Speaker 2>was fine. Clooney wanted us to believe it was fine.

0:31:17.720 --> 0:31:22.160
<v Speaker 2>Everyone knew, but like some sort of dysfunctional family, nobody

0:31:22.200 --> 0:31:26.120
<v Speaker 2>wanted to say anything until the debate and Joe Biden's

0:31:26.120 --> 0:31:31.160
<v Speaker 2>performance made it impossible to say otherwise. So forgive me,

0:31:31.400 --> 0:31:34.440
<v Speaker 2>But George Clooney is not brave for coming out and

0:31:34.480 --> 0:31:37.600
<v Speaker 2>saying Biden should quit. He's a coward for hiding what

0:31:37.720 --> 0:31:44.640
<v Speaker 2>he knew until it was popular to say it. All right,

0:31:44.640 --> 0:31:47.880
<v Speaker 2>I'm thrilled to bring in Newsweek Magazine opinion editor Botia

0:31:47.960 --> 0:31:50.640
<v Speaker 2>Ongar Sargeant. Botya, thanks so much for coming on the

0:31:50.760 --> 0:31:52.840
<v Speaker 2>US report. First of all, I gotta ask you, what

0:31:52.960 --> 0:31:55.120
<v Speaker 2>did you make of the Big Boy press conference?

0:31:57.760 --> 0:31:59.920
<v Speaker 9>Thank you so much for having me, James, It's always

0:32:00.200 --> 0:32:02.960
<v Speaker 9>to be here with you. Honestly, I think he did

0:32:03.040 --> 0:32:06.280
<v Speaker 9>pretty good. This is an old man, but he did

0:32:06.280 --> 0:32:10.720
<v Speaker 9>not seem infirm, And honestly, I was really happy to

0:32:10.760 --> 0:32:16.160
<v Speaker 9>see that, because I am so disgusted with the elites

0:32:16.200 --> 0:32:19.680
<v Speaker 9>in the Democratic Party and in Hollywood and in the

0:32:19.800 --> 0:32:24.960
<v Speaker 9>media effectively trying to do a coup against a duly

0:32:25.040 --> 0:32:29.400
<v Speaker 9>elected president. And it's not just that it is totally

0:32:29.440 --> 0:32:33.760
<v Speaker 9>anti democratic, and this of course from the defenders of democracy.

0:32:34.400 --> 0:32:39.360
<v Speaker 9>It's that these are the president's oldest friends and allies

0:32:39.800 --> 0:32:43.400
<v Speaker 9>who turned on a dime when they realized that they

0:32:43.440 --> 0:32:47.160
<v Speaker 9>could no longer hide what they had been hiding from

0:32:47.240 --> 0:32:51.720
<v Speaker 9>the American people. Just as you pointed out, George Colooney

0:32:52.040 --> 0:32:56.800
<v Speaker 9>raised thirty million dollars for President Biden when he had

0:32:56.920 --> 0:33:01.120
<v Speaker 9>exclusive access to him and we did not. And when

0:33:01.200 --> 0:33:04.400
<v Speaker 9>he thought that he could still hide President Biden's stay

0:33:04.400 --> 0:33:07.240
<v Speaker 9>from the American people, he was happy to keep raising

0:33:07.360 --> 0:33:10.360
<v Speaker 9>money and pushing him through to the finish line. It

0:33:10.440 --> 0:33:13.520
<v Speaker 9>was only when he realized that he can't beat President

0:33:13.680 --> 0:33:17.120
<v Speaker 9>Trump that suddenly all the elites are turning on him.

0:33:17.280 --> 0:33:22.240
<v Speaker 9>They have no problem with a failing person being the president.

0:33:22.520 --> 0:33:25.440
<v Speaker 9>They only have a problem with him failing to win

0:33:25.520 --> 0:33:27.760
<v Speaker 9>against Donald Trump. And I'll just make one more brief

0:33:27.800 --> 0:33:33.360
<v Speaker 9>point here, please, there's been reporting that Clooney consulted with

0:33:33.520 --> 0:33:37.880
<v Speaker 9>President Obama before running his op ed, and so in

0:33:37.920 --> 0:33:42.479
<v Speaker 9>addition to the malice against President Biden, you have this

0:33:42.680 --> 0:33:47.080
<v Speaker 9>absolute cowardice where President Obama can't say what he thinks,

0:33:47.120 --> 0:33:50.520
<v Speaker 9>so he's hiding behind George Clooney, where Nancy Pelosi and

0:33:50.600 --> 0:33:53.560
<v Speaker 9>Chuck Schumer can't say what they think, so they're hiding

0:33:53.600 --> 0:33:59.040
<v Speaker 9>behind vulnerable representatives from swing states, the Perfidy, the lying,

0:33:59.520 --> 0:34:03.280
<v Speaker 9>the the Menia, which had access to President Biden and

0:34:03.360 --> 0:34:06.680
<v Speaker 9>knew this and kept it from the American people, and

0:34:06.800 --> 0:34:11.080
<v Speaker 9>now turning on a dime in lockstep to push him

0:34:11.120 --> 0:34:14.200
<v Speaker 9>out because the American people found out on their own

0:34:14.280 --> 0:34:16.880
<v Speaker 9>what the truth is. This is some of the most

0:34:16.920 --> 0:34:20.680
<v Speaker 9>disgusting things I've ever seen in my life.

0:34:20.800 --> 0:34:24.160
<v Speaker 2>James, Well, this is a really fascinating thing because on one level,

0:34:24.200 --> 0:34:26.360
<v Speaker 2>it feels like, you know, the American elite or a

0:34:26.400 --> 0:34:30.520
<v Speaker 2>giant dysfunctional family where everybody agrees not to talk about

0:34:30.880 --> 0:34:34.120
<v Speaker 2>Uncle Joe's medical problems with the fact that he shouldn't

0:34:34.120 --> 0:34:36.840
<v Speaker 2>be allowed to drive a car or have nuclear codes anymore.

0:34:37.760 --> 0:34:40.560
<v Speaker 2>On the other hand, though, this really does seem like

0:34:40.600 --> 0:34:44.680
<v Speaker 2>a sinister kind of political thing because it's like the

0:34:44.719 --> 0:34:48.279
<v Speaker 2>elites say, we are going to decide who the president is,

0:34:48.760 --> 0:34:51.120
<v Speaker 2>and as long as it's not Trump, we will shuffle

0:34:51.520 --> 0:34:53.600
<v Speaker 2>the cards and shuffle around on the table just so

0:34:53.680 --> 0:34:56.560
<v Speaker 2>that we have somebody there who is not the guy

0:34:56.600 --> 0:34:59.520
<v Speaker 2>who's going to call time on our whole grift.

0:35:01.360 --> 0:35:06.840
<v Speaker 9>That is absolutely correct. The same side that casts self

0:35:06.880 --> 0:35:10.880
<v Speaker 9>as the defenders of democracy are now trying to get

0:35:11.080 --> 0:35:15.560
<v Speaker 9>you to believe that in order to defend democracy they

0:35:15.640 --> 0:35:21.480
<v Speaker 9>have to actually enact a coup against a duly elected president.

0:35:21.960 --> 0:35:26.680
<v Speaker 9>It is that insane. The same media that for years

0:35:27.080 --> 0:35:30.920
<v Speaker 9>has hidden Joe Biden's situation from the American people, for

0:35:31.239 --> 0:35:35.319
<v Speaker 9>years demanded people get fired for asking questions about it,

0:35:35.640 --> 0:35:38.880
<v Speaker 9>those same people now want you to believe that they're

0:35:38.960 --> 0:35:42.400
<v Speaker 9>just doing their jobs asking the tough questions about which

0:35:42.480 --> 0:35:45.960
<v Speaker 9>doctors the president has seen, and what's going on in

0:35:45.960 --> 0:35:49.640
<v Speaker 9>his cabinet and all of this stuff that, yes, is

0:35:49.760 --> 0:35:53.520
<v Speaker 9>terrible and terrifying. And yet why were they not reporting

0:35:53.520 --> 0:35:56.600
<v Speaker 9>on this for the last year when it was still

0:35:56.719 --> 0:35:59.440
<v Speaker 9>the case. And it's because for the last year they

0:35:59.440 --> 0:36:01.759
<v Speaker 9>thought they could hide it from the American people and

0:36:01.800 --> 0:36:05.200
<v Speaker 9>send out a person who they believe is cognitively impaired

0:36:05.239 --> 0:36:08.560
<v Speaker 9>to beat Donald Trump, and that is where you see

0:36:08.800 --> 0:36:10.719
<v Speaker 9>the whole edifice start to break down.

0:36:11.080 --> 0:36:13.640
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, and they're still trying to scare people about Trump too,

0:36:13.760 --> 0:36:16.879
<v Speaker 2>with this whole question about Project twenty twenty five, which

0:36:16.920 --> 0:36:21.280
<v Speaker 2>is this Heritage Foundation thing not a Trump policy platform.

0:36:21.400 --> 0:36:24.560
<v Speaker 2>Very quickly, Batchia, it seems like they're trying to distract

0:36:24.600 --> 0:36:26.759
<v Speaker 2>from the Trump platform, which has an awful lot of

0:36:26.800 --> 0:36:30.280
<v Speaker 2>things which would be popular about ending inflation, stopping wars,

0:36:30.520 --> 0:36:34.080
<v Speaker 2>rebuilding cities, shutting down Hamas radicals, and closing the borders.

0:36:34.120 --> 0:36:36.640
<v Speaker 2>They don't want people talking about this because Trump can

0:36:36.680 --> 0:36:37.200
<v Speaker 2>win on it.

0:36:39.080 --> 0:36:43.720
<v Speaker 9>That's exactly right. They're trying to pin Project twenty twenty

0:36:43.719 --> 0:36:47.799
<v Speaker 9>five on Trump. But Trump's platform, which came out last week,

0:36:47.840 --> 0:36:51.920
<v Speaker 9>the RNC twenty twenty four GOP platform, which has Trump's

0:36:51.920 --> 0:36:56.000
<v Speaker 9>fingerprints all over it, departs not just from the very

0:36:56.040 --> 0:37:00.279
<v Speaker 9>conservative Project twenty twenty five, but from forty years of

0:37:00.360 --> 0:37:03.879
<v Speaker 9>GOP platforms in that there's nothing about being pro life

0:37:03.920 --> 0:37:06.720
<v Speaker 9>because Trump be leieves abortion should be legal for fifteen weeks.

0:37:06.920 --> 0:37:10.720
<v Speaker 9>There's nothing opposing gay marriage in it, and he insists

0:37:10.760 --> 0:37:14.520
<v Speaker 9>on protecting Social Security and medicare. These are all things

0:37:14.560 --> 0:37:17.400
<v Speaker 9>that are very much a departure from Project twenty twenty

0:37:17.440 --> 0:37:20.000
<v Speaker 9>five and the history of platforms. But the rest of

0:37:20.040 --> 0:37:22.760
<v Speaker 9>the platform is very popular as well, as you say.

0:37:23.200 --> 0:37:26.040
<v Speaker 2>Well, indeed, Batcha and I've always said, you know, whoever

0:37:26.080 --> 0:37:28.400
<v Speaker 2>thinks the New York property developer who's been married a

0:37:28.480 --> 0:37:30.240
<v Speaker 2>million times is going to be some sort of social

0:37:30.280 --> 0:37:33.279
<v Speaker 2>conservative really needs their head examine. Thank you so much,

0:37:33.320 --> 0:37:36.239
<v Speaker 2>Batschia on Gar Sargan. Now, after the break, we're going

0:37:36.280 --> 0:37:39.200
<v Speaker 2>to have a discussion about immigration, borders and all sorts

0:37:39.239 --> 0:37:43.000
<v Speaker 2>of stuff. But first, absolutely wild scenes in the White

0:37:43.040 --> 0:37:46.120
<v Speaker 2>House press briefing room this week. Check out what happened

0:37:46.120 --> 0:37:49.640
<v Speaker 2>when Fox News White House correspondent Peter Doocey brought the

0:37:49.680 --> 0:37:53.080
<v Speaker 2>hammer down on Koreine Jean Pierre and asked the all

0:37:53.120 --> 0:37:56.640
<v Speaker 2>important question, what happens if something goes wrong?

0:37:57.120 --> 0:37:59.120
<v Speaker 1>After Joe Biden goes to bed.

0:38:00.560 --> 0:38:02.640
<v Speaker 5>The President says that his health is fine, but it's

0:38:02.719 --> 0:38:05.200
<v Speaker 5>just his brain and that he's sharpest before.

0:38:05.400 --> 0:38:07.040
<v Speaker 6>He's joking, by the way, I just want to make

0:38:07.040 --> 0:38:11.759
<v Speaker 6>sure that that's out there, and he was making a

0:38:11.880 --> 0:38:15.760
<v Speaker 6>light hearted joke as he was speaking off he's speaking

0:38:15.800 --> 0:38:17.799
<v Speaker 6>off the cuff and was making a joke. You know,

0:38:17.840 --> 0:38:18.360
<v Speaker 6>the President.

0:38:18.400 --> 0:38:19.480
<v Speaker 1>He likes to joke a lot.

0:38:19.719 --> 0:38:21.640
<v Speaker 6>He's the same guy who says, I know I look

0:38:21.719 --> 0:38:24.800
<v Speaker 6>forty right, So he likes to make jokes.

0:38:25.440 --> 0:38:26.520
<v Speaker 1>It is a joke here.

0:38:26.680 --> 0:38:28.319
<v Speaker 6>I think people laugh when he says it.

0:38:28.480 --> 0:38:31.560
<v Speaker 8>Well, he also said he's sharpest before eight pm.

0:38:31.960 --> 0:38:34.400
<v Speaker 2>I think kjp's head was about to go full mushroom

0:38:34.440 --> 0:38:43.280
<v Speaker 2>cloud there migration madness in a tick, don't go away.

0:38:45.040 --> 0:38:47.680
<v Speaker 2>Welcome back to the program on this absolutely crazy day

0:38:47.680 --> 0:38:50.319
<v Speaker 2>in Washington, I am thrilled to bring in a new

0:38:50.400 --> 0:38:53.560
<v Speaker 2>face on the program this evening. Please welcome Nate Hawkman.

0:38:54.120 --> 0:38:57.480
<v Speaker 2>He's a senior advisor at America twenty one hundred, which

0:38:57.520 --> 0:38:59.880
<v Speaker 2>is a group that states, in its own words that

0:39:00.160 --> 0:39:03.719
<v Speaker 2>America deserves a future as great as it's passed. And

0:39:04.000 --> 0:39:07.160
<v Speaker 2>you know what, I find that pretty hard to disagree with.

0:39:07.480 --> 0:39:07.719
<v Speaker 1>Nate.

0:39:07.800 --> 0:39:09.640
<v Speaker 2>Thank you so much for joining me on the US Report.

0:39:09.719 --> 0:39:12.399
<v Speaker 2>Welcome to the program. I wanted to first of all

0:39:12.440 --> 0:39:14.880
<v Speaker 2>talk to you about a piece you've written in the

0:39:14.920 --> 0:39:18.759
<v Speaker 2>American Spectator magazine that makes a very interesting point, suggesting

0:39:18.880 --> 0:39:22.719
<v Speaker 2>essentially that Joe Biden for all of the flaws that

0:39:22.760 --> 0:39:27.000
<v Speaker 2>we see and the mental difficulties and the word salads

0:39:27.000 --> 0:39:30.560
<v Speaker 2>and everything else, he's actually a perfect representative of the

0:39:30.680 --> 0:39:33.960
<v Speaker 2>ruling class. And in this piece you write and forgive

0:39:34.000 --> 0:39:36.360
<v Speaker 2>me for coding a length that Biden may not resemble

0:39:36.400 --> 0:39:38.960
<v Speaker 2>the younger, more diverse, and more cunning members of his

0:39:39.040 --> 0:39:41.920
<v Speaker 2>shadow cabinet that have been running his presidency for the

0:39:41.960 --> 0:39:43.120
<v Speaker 2>past three and a half years.

0:39:43.440 --> 0:39:44.240
<v Speaker 1>But in a more.

0:39:44.200 --> 0:39:49.239
<v Speaker 2>Fundamental sense, he is the personification of the broader social

0:39:49.400 --> 0:39:54.560
<v Speaker 2>forces they represent. Enervated, humiliated, and alone, the bureaucratic state

0:39:54.640 --> 0:39:57.879
<v Speaker 2>slouches towards November, no longer sure of who they are

0:39:58.200 --> 0:40:01.239
<v Speaker 2>or what they stand for. They tell us about what

0:40:01.280 --> 0:40:02.239
<v Speaker 2>you meant by all of this.

0:40:03.719 --> 0:40:05.520
<v Speaker 4>Right, Well, first of all, thanks so much for having me.

0:40:05.640 --> 0:40:08.799
<v Speaker 4>The point of that column was to say, you know,

0:40:08.920 --> 0:40:13.040
<v Speaker 4>obviously Biden's problems are self evident, but in many ways

0:40:13.040 --> 0:40:16.920
<v Speaker 4>his problems are a personification of everything that's wrong with

0:40:16.960 --> 0:40:19.920
<v Speaker 4>the broader sort of American elite, both in and outside

0:40:19.960 --> 0:40:23.520
<v Speaker 4>of government. He's running on a story that he tells

0:40:23.520 --> 0:40:27.239
<v Speaker 4>about himself in the country that nobody believes anymore, using

0:40:27.320 --> 0:40:30.520
<v Speaker 4>slogans that have been drained of all meaning, and appealing

0:40:30.520 --> 0:40:33.399
<v Speaker 4>to institutions that have lost all legitimacy. And he has

0:40:33.560 --> 0:40:36.520
<v Speaker 4>thus far used that as a crutch to try to

0:40:36.560 --> 0:40:39.080
<v Speaker 4>hold up his presidency. But what you've seen over the

0:40:39.160 --> 0:40:41.760
<v Speaker 4>last couple of months in particular, is that it's really

0:40:41.800 --> 0:40:44.160
<v Speaker 4>all falling apart, and I think his team is starting

0:40:44.200 --> 0:40:44.759
<v Speaker 4>to realize that.

0:40:45.520 --> 0:40:49.040
<v Speaker 2>Well, and who is this managerial class, this elite class.

0:40:49.080 --> 0:40:51.439
<v Speaker 2>Tell us about exactly who these people are, because Donald

0:40:51.440 --> 0:40:54.800
<v Speaker 2>Trump talks about the swamp and people talk about the elite,

0:40:54.840 --> 0:40:57.840
<v Speaker 2>but really explain to our viewers who these sorts of

0:40:57.880 --> 0:41:00.600
<v Speaker 2>folks are, what offices they hold, it, how they kind

0:41:00.600 --> 0:41:02.880
<v Speaker 2>of managed to pull the springs behind the scenes.

0:41:04.160 --> 0:41:07.520
<v Speaker 4>Well, look, every society has an elite, every society has

0:41:07.560 --> 0:41:10.560
<v Speaker 4>a ruling class, and there's nothing wrong with that, per se.

0:41:10.880 --> 0:41:13.760
<v Speaker 4>But the character of a country depends to an extent

0:41:13.800 --> 0:41:16.279
<v Speaker 4>on the character of its elite, of the people who

0:41:16.400 --> 0:41:19.920
<v Speaker 4>run the country, and America for the last sixty plus

0:41:20.000 --> 0:41:24.839
<v Speaker 4>years has been run by bureaucrats, effectively, both in the

0:41:24.840 --> 0:41:28.919
<v Speaker 4>federal bureaucracy in Washington, d c. But also their counterparts

0:41:28.920 --> 0:41:33.000
<v Speaker 4>in you know, big media, big business, big culture, etc.

0:41:33.320 --> 0:41:35.319
<v Speaker 4>You can go down the line, and these are people

0:41:35.400 --> 0:41:38.080
<v Speaker 4>who are very much part of the same social strutu

0:41:38.160 --> 0:41:41.360
<v Speaker 4>they're educated in the same elite institutions they believe the

0:41:41.400 --> 0:41:44.759
<v Speaker 4>same things. They're often quite literally located in the same

0:41:44.880 --> 0:41:49.319
<v Speaker 4>geographic enclaves in a couple urban centers, and they are

0:41:49.440 --> 0:41:52.719
<v Speaker 4>a class of people in a coherent sense, and they

0:41:52.760 --> 0:41:55.360
<v Speaker 4>are the people who really bear the responsibility for the

0:41:55.400 --> 0:41:59.560
<v Speaker 4>disastrous decisions that America and more broadly Western civilization has

0:41:59.560 --> 0:42:02.200
<v Speaker 4>been led down over the last few decades. In particular.

0:42:02.560 --> 0:42:04.279
<v Speaker 2>Well, Nan, I mean, this is something that we see

0:42:04.320 --> 0:42:08.040
<v Speaker 2>completely with this situation where the media covered for the

0:42:08.120 --> 0:42:12.279
<v Speaker 2>Biden White House and all of their lines that you know,

0:42:12.760 --> 0:42:14.719
<v Speaker 2>he's fine and all of the things that we show

0:42:14.760 --> 0:42:16.799
<v Speaker 2>on this program about how he's not fine is just

0:42:16.960 --> 0:42:19.239
<v Speaker 2>cheap fakes, and they do it without any sort of

0:42:19.360 --> 0:42:22.759
<v Speaker 2>coordinating kind of effort. You would suggest that, I guess

0:42:22.840 --> 0:42:26.400
<v Speaker 2>it's more of a hive mind mentality, where a similar

0:42:26.440 --> 0:42:29.800
<v Speaker 2>set of outlooks leads to a similar set of outcomes.

0:42:31.160 --> 0:42:34.160
<v Speaker 4>No, I think that's the perfect way to put it. Obviously,

0:42:34.480 --> 0:42:37.279
<v Speaker 4>you do have things that you could call conspiracies. You

0:42:37.280 --> 0:42:41.760
<v Speaker 4>do have sort of coordinated attempts to do certain things

0:42:41.800 --> 0:42:43.960
<v Speaker 4>like cover up the Hunter Biden laptop, to use a

0:42:43.960 --> 0:42:47.000
<v Speaker 4>recent example. But more broadly, this is a kind of

0:42:47.080 --> 0:42:50.560
<v Speaker 4>self running machine where you don't need a degree of

0:42:50.640 --> 0:42:54.560
<v Speaker 4>centralized coordination because everyone has the same worldview and the

0:42:54.600 --> 0:42:58.240
<v Speaker 4>same objectives and the same goals and perhaps most importantly,

0:42:58.239 --> 0:43:00.719
<v Speaker 4>the same enemies and the same thing that they are

0:43:00.760 --> 0:43:04.839
<v Speaker 4>working against, and therefore it works as a well oiled machine. Yeah.

0:43:04.920 --> 0:43:07.239
<v Speaker 2>Yes, So it's basically like, oh, well, you know, we

0:43:07.320 --> 0:43:09.560
<v Speaker 2>all agree that Trump is evil. Trump is the devil.

0:43:09.600 --> 0:43:12.640
<v Speaker 2>So whatever we do to stop him, even it means

0:43:12.800 --> 0:43:16.560
<v Speaker 2>lying and covering up for this huge scandalous health problem

0:43:16.880 --> 0:43:18.120
<v Speaker 2>in the White House, that's.

0:43:17.960 --> 0:43:23.759
<v Speaker 4>Okay, exactly, and even more fundamentally, what Trump represents is

0:43:23.800 --> 0:43:28.120
<v Speaker 4>everything in terms of the values and the identities that

0:43:28.200 --> 0:43:31.759
<v Speaker 4>this class of people is against. He represents the precise

0:43:31.960 --> 0:43:36.279
<v Speaker 4>old America that these people define themselves in opposition too.

0:43:36.440 --> 0:43:40.160
<v Speaker 4>They are the quote unquote New America, and Trump is

0:43:40.160 --> 0:43:44.480
<v Speaker 4>the old white, chauvinistic Christian America that they've spent the

0:43:44.560 --> 0:43:48.720
<v Speaker 4>last sixty years basically trying to destroy. And as a result,

0:43:48.760 --> 0:43:52.160
<v Speaker 4>Trump is the existential threat to these people's power and

0:43:52.239 --> 0:43:55.160
<v Speaker 4>to their conception of themselves. And that's why, again, you

0:43:55.160 --> 0:43:58.399
<v Speaker 4>don't need a level of coordination, because they're all going

0:43:58.400 --> 0:44:00.839
<v Speaker 4>to work against him in tandem regardless.

0:44:00.960 --> 0:44:02.879
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I mean I think that's a really interesting point

0:44:02.920 --> 0:44:04.960
<v Speaker 2>you make about sort of who these new class people

0:44:04.960 --> 0:44:07.560
<v Speaker 2>are and everything else in that hive mind. But also

0:44:07.600 --> 0:44:09.200
<v Speaker 2>one of the things that I've heard you talk about

0:44:09.239 --> 0:44:13.520
<v Speaker 2>too is I thought this was hilarious the backlash against

0:44:13.560 --> 0:44:16.120
<v Speaker 2>the idea that Kamala Harris was a diversity pick. Now,

0:44:16.200 --> 0:44:18.680
<v Speaker 2>Joe Biden and his White House were pretty explicit when

0:44:18.880 --> 0:44:20.759
<v Speaker 2>they picked her that this was to balance out the

0:44:20.760 --> 0:44:23.480
<v Speaker 2>ticket from a diversity point of view. But now suddenly

0:44:23.840 --> 0:44:27.239
<v Speaker 2>everybody's gotten mad at the New York Post for suggesting that, yeah,

0:44:27.280 --> 0:44:30.200
<v Speaker 2>in fact, she was a DEI higher But come on, right.

0:44:31.600 --> 0:44:35.560
<v Speaker 4>No, I mean conservatives in America. Maybe there's a corollary

0:44:35.600 --> 0:44:37.840
<v Speaker 4>phrase that you guys use over there. We call this

0:44:37.960 --> 0:44:41.160
<v Speaker 4>the celebration parallact, which is summed up by the phrase

0:44:41.320 --> 0:44:43.880
<v Speaker 4>that's not happening and it's good that it is. And

0:44:43.920 --> 0:44:46.240
<v Speaker 4>that's the attitude you hear from you know, the media

0:44:46.239 --> 0:44:49.359
<v Speaker 4>on a whole host of different issues, which is, effectively,

0:44:49.400 --> 0:44:53.080
<v Speaker 4>we're allowed to celebrate something and point out that it's

0:44:53.080 --> 0:44:55.279
<v Speaker 4>happening in a good way. But if anyone on the

0:44:55.320 --> 0:44:58.120
<v Speaker 4>right points out that it's happening and says, but that's bad,

0:44:58.520 --> 0:45:01.080
<v Speaker 4>you know then as a total conspiracy right, So you

0:45:01.120 --> 0:45:04.800
<v Speaker 4>can celebrate Paula Harris at de Ipeck a victory for DEI,

0:45:04.960 --> 0:45:06.000
<v Speaker 4>but you can't criticize it.

0:45:06.480 --> 0:45:08.880
<v Speaker 2>I love this idea of the celebration parallax here, and

0:45:08.880 --> 0:45:10.720
<v Speaker 2>I suspect there's an awful lot of that that also

0:45:11.120 --> 0:45:14.360
<v Speaker 2>goes into the way that we discuss immigration in the

0:45:14.440 --> 0:45:17.560
<v Speaker 2>United States. And you've noted that there's this really interesting

0:45:17.560 --> 0:45:20.760
<v Speaker 2>phenomenon where migrants are, of course more likely to favor

0:45:20.800 --> 0:45:24.000
<v Speaker 2>more migration. So in a sense, there's kind of this

0:45:24.880 --> 0:45:27.480
<v Speaker 2>The real reason why I would suspect then you're suggesting

0:45:27.600 --> 0:45:30.000
<v Speaker 2>is that they're so keen on open borders is to

0:45:30.400 --> 0:45:33.560
<v Speaker 2>permanently change the kind of direction that the country goes.

0:45:33.640 --> 0:45:36.560
<v Speaker 2>Now we get dismissed as being conspiracy theorists for that,

0:45:37.000 --> 0:45:39.319
<v Speaker 2>but I think there's probably something to that.

0:45:39.360 --> 0:45:41.360
<v Speaker 1>What do you think, Nate, No.

0:45:41.520 --> 0:45:43.200
<v Speaker 4>I'm glad you pointed it out that out because that

0:45:43.280 --> 0:45:47.160
<v Speaker 4>was originally the concept that the celebration parallax was used for.

0:45:47.440 --> 0:45:49.719
<v Speaker 4>I mean, we hear talk about the quote unquote great

0:45:49.800 --> 0:45:53.320
<v Speaker 4>replacement and how it's a right wing conspiracy theory. People

0:45:53.320 --> 0:45:56.400
<v Speaker 4>on the left in America have been explicitly celebrating the

0:45:56.440 --> 0:46:00.319
<v Speaker 4>fact that American demographics are changing drastically and that's going

0:46:00.360 --> 0:46:03.239
<v Speaker 4>to make America more liberal per decade. You can look

0:46:03.280 --> 0:46:04.759
<v Speaker 4>in the pages of the New York Times in the

0:46:04.840 --> 0:46:08.040
<v Speaker 4>Washington Post. They're saying this is happening, and isn't it great.

0:46:08.320 --> 0:46:09.920
<v Speaker 4>But if anyone on the right points out that it's

0:46:09.960 --> 0:46:12.440
<v Speaker 4>happening and says, hey, maybe I might have some concerns

0:46:12.440 --> 0:46:14.440
<v Speaker 4>about how this is going to affect my country, then

0:46:14.480 --> 0:46:15.959
<v Speaker 4>it's a dangerous right wing.

0:46:16.080 --> 0:46:21.160
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, yeah, and it becomes alt right anyway. Nate Hawkman,

0:46:21.320 --> 0:46:23.320
<v Speaker 2>thank you so much for joining us here on the

0:46:23.400 --> 0:46:25.400
<v Speaker 2>US Report. We'll definitely have you back again. Thank you

0:46:25.440 --> 0:46:27.640
<v Speaker 2>so much for your time on this historic day. Now,

0:46:27.920 --> 0:46:30.280
<v Speaker 2>before we go to the break, let me make clear

0:46:30.680 --> 0:46:35.040
<v Speaker 2>one more time that despite all the president's troubles, the

0:46:35.080 --> 0:46:38.120
<v Speaker 2>Democrats and I talk about this as the Democrat Party,

0:46:38.600 --> 0:46:41.200
<v Speaker 2>are still in this race. And I don't care what

0:46:41.239 --> 0:46:43.879
<v Speaker 2>the polls say about Trump being up. It's a long

0:46:43.920 --> 0:46:46.720
<v Speaker 2>way to go to November, and as we know, anything

0:46:46.760 --> 0:46:50.480
<v Speaker 2>can happen. Just check this little clip out. It's an

0:46:50.520 --> 0:46:54.399
<v Speaker 2>interview CNN did with somebody who I suspect is a

0:46:54.440 --> 0:46:59.120
<v Speaker 2>fairly typical Democrat voter who thinks Joe Biden is not

0:46:59.280 --> 0:47:03.520
<v Speaker 2>up to it, Kamala Harris is not qualified and is

0:47:03.560 --> 0:47:06.400
<v Speaker 2>still gonna go vote for the Democrats no matter what.

0:47:07.600 --> 0:47:09.480
<v Speaker 9>Did he look to you like someone who could serve

0:47:09.520 --> 0:47:11.280
<v Speaker 9>for president for four and a half more years?

0:47:11.480 --> 0:47:12.600
<v Speaker 5>I don't I think that.

0:47:14.200 --> 0:47:15.600
<v Speaker 6>Let me put it this way, I'm voting for the

0:47:15.600 --> 0:47:16.440
<v Speaker 6>party right now.

0:47:16.800 --> 0:47:19.400
<v Speaker 7>Do you think Vice President Harris it's qualified to be president?

0:47:22.680 --> 0:47:28.200
<v Speaker 2>No Trump stamp supporters Trump campaign, if you're watching, don't

0:47:28.239 --> 0:47:39.760
<v Speaker 2>get cocky. Now Only in America after the break, welcome

0:47:39.760 --> 0:47:41.480
<v Speaker 2>back to the program. Now it's time for a little

0:47:41.520 --> 0:47:49.840
<v Speaker 2>segment we like to call Only in America. Well, today's

0:47:49.840 --> 0:47:52.400
<v Speaker 2>Only in America takes us to this phenomenal interview with

0:47:52.480 --> 0:47:57.160
<v Speaker 2>California Congresswoman Maxine Waters, who reveals that it is possible

0:47:57.200 --> 0:48:01.279
<v Speaker 2>to change your entire hairstyle in thirty seconds while on

0:48:01.480 --> 0:48:02.160
<v Speaker 2>live TV.

0:48:03.360 --> 0:48:06.680
<v Speaker 10>They've seen President Biden, they've lived through his presidency. They've

0:48:06.719 --> 0:48:10.200
<v Speaker 10>also seen former President Trump. They've lived through his presidency.

0:48:10.239 --> 0:48:13.680
<v Speaker 10>They've heard these arguments about democracy, about the fate of

0:48:13.719 --> 0:48:17.040
<v Speaker 10>the election, and yet Trump is not only winning, but

0:48:17.400 --> 0:48:21.120
<v Speaker 10>winning increasingly by a larger margin. So what is the

0:48:21.200 --> 0:48:26.160
<v Speaker 10>plan among Democrats to change that trajectory. It sounds like

0:48:26.600 --> 0:48:29.040
<v Speaker 10>you're talking about saying and doing all the same things,

0:48:29.040 --> 0:48:31.480
<v Speaker 10>But do you believe that something needs to change.

0:48:32.320 --> 0:48:33.640
<v Speaker 1>I think we need to keep working.

0:48:34.880 --> 0:48:37.319
<v Speaker 2>Wow, well she's working it all right. That's all the

0:48:37.360 --> 0:48:39.360
<v Speaker 2>time we've got for this week. Gosh, I wish I

<v Speaker 2>had enough here to do that on air, wiz or

0:48:41.800 --> 0:48:44.439
<v Speaker 2>really do it anywhere. Have great week, See you next

0:48:44.440 --> 0:48:47.040

0:48:47.200 --> 0:48:47.719
<v Speaker 2>has been.
