1 00:00:01,560 --> 00:00:05,840 Speaker 1: Joe Biden has officially dropped out of the presidential race. Welcome, 2 00:00:05,920 --> 00:00:08,600 Speaker 1: it is Verdict with Center, Ted Cruz, Ben Ferguson with 3 00:00:08,680 --> 00:00:13,680 Speaker 1: you on this special podcast. Senator, you predicted this ten 4 00:00:14,040 --> 00:00:18,440 Speaker 1: months ago. It has now become a reality. Your initial reaction. 5 00:00:18,600 --> 00:00:21,320 Speaker 2: Well, today is an historic day. We are one hundred 6 00:00:21,320 --> 00:00:24,640 Speaker 2: and six days out from the presidential election and the 7 00:00:24,680 --> 00:00:28,800 Speaker 2: Democrat nominee for president, the sitting Democrat president, is out. 8 00:00:29,000 --> 00:00:30,720 Speaker 2: He will not be on the ballot, he will not 9 00:00:30,840 --> 00:00:33,960 Speaker 2: be the candidate. At this point, the Democrat Party is 10 00:00:34,040 --> 00:00:38,280 Speaker 2: in utter disarray. Chaos is erupting. We're going to break 11 00:00:38,320 --> 00:00:41,040 Speaker 2: down exactly what is likely to happen next. We're going 12 00:00:41,120 --> 00:00:44,080 Speaker 2: to walk all through the steps to expect in the 13 00:00:44,080 --> 00:00:46,400 Speaker 2: one hundred and sixty days between now an election day. 14 00:00:47,200 --> 00:00:48,720 Speaker 1: First, before we get into all that, I want to 15 00:00:48,720 --> 00:00:50,559 Speaker 1: tell you about my friends in blackout coffee. I can 16 00:00:50,600 --> 00:00:52,199 Speaker 1: promise you right now I don't need a cup of 17 00:00:52,200 --> 00:00:54,560 Speaker 1: coffee with this new news that Biden's out. But on 18 00:00:54,600 --> 00:00:56,400 Speaker 1: a normal day when I'm getting on the radio at 19 00:00:56,440 --> 00:00:59,720 Speaker 1: seven am, it is really important that I'm awake and 20 00:00:59,760 --> 00:01:02,280 Speaker 1: i I am ready to go. I don't want an 21 00:01:02,320 --> 00:01:05,480 Speaker 1: average cup of coffee. I want a phenomenal cup of coffee, 22 00:01:05,520 --> 00:01:08,520 Speaker 1: a premium cup of coffee, without the woke agenda of 23 00:01:08,600 --> 00:01:11,000 Speaker 1: so many of the coffee comanies out there. When I 24 00:01:11,080 --> 00:01:14,000 Speaker 1: said that, you probably thought about a couple of brands. Well. 25 00:01:14,160 --> 00:01:19,160 Speaker 1: Blackout Coffee is a hardcore conservative company committed to conservative 26 00:01:19,200 --> 00:01:21,800 Speaker 1: values from the sourcing of the beans, the roasting process, 27 00:01:21,920 --> 00:01:25,440 Speaker 1: customer support and shipping. They embody true American values and 28 00:01:25,440 --> 00:01:29,120 Speaker 1: they accept no compromise on quality or taste.

Democrats witnessed an incredible GOP convention. You and 40 00:02:07,480 --> 00:02:10,880 Speaker 1: I were there. It's the most I think unity I've 41 00:02:10,880 --> 00:02:13,839 Speaker 1: ever seen the Republican Party at the convention, doubtedly, and 42 00:02:14,200 --> 00:02:17,760 Speaker 1: they were I think, really concerned after the convention of 43 00:02:17,800 --> 00:02:20,560 Speaker 1: a big bump. How do you reset a race you 44 00:02:20,600 --> 00:02:23,240 Speaker 1: get in your new candidate. And I think they clearly 45 00:02:23,280 --> 00:02:26,639 Speaker 1: saw that. We saw the big five Democratic families and 46 00:02:26,720 --> 00:02:29,920 Speaker 1: the media coalesced behind forcing him to get out. I 47 00:02:29,919 --> 00:02:32,160 Speaker 1: think some sort of deal had to happen to make 48 00:02:32,200 --> 00:02:33,959 Speaker 1: sure that Joe Biden and his family are going to 49 00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:37,359 Speaker 1: be taken care of. Kamala Harris was the obvious choice, 50 00:02:37,560 --> 00:02:40,359 Speaker 1: that's now who he's endorsed, and other Democrats seem to 51 00:02:40,400 --> 00:02:41,680 Speaker 1: be jumping on board. 52 00:02:42,280 --> 00:02:45,320 Speaker 2: Well, listen, I think this was inevitable, as I said, 53 00:02:45,720 --> 00:02:48,519 Speaker 2: as of the night of the debate, but I think 54 00:02:48,560 --> 00:02:52,600 Speaker 2: the momentum of it accelerated number one, with the assassination 55 00:02:52,680 --> 00:02:57,040 Speaker 2: attempt on President Trump. Number two with the very successful 56 00:02:57,639 --> 00:03:01,720 Speaker 2: presidential convention we just had in Milwaukee. I think Democrats 57 00:03:01,720 --> 00:03:05,200 Speaker 2: were in absolute panic. They were in panic. Earlier today, 58 00:03:05,280 --> 00:03:07,760 Speaker 2: poll numbers came out of Michigan that had Trump leading 59 00:03:07,800 --> 00:03:10,720 Speaker 2: Biden in Michigan by seven points. You want to talk 60 00:03:10,760 --> 00:03:14,080 Speaker 2: about something to put put Democrats in cold sweats. If 61 00:03:14,120 --> 00:03:17,240 Speaker 2: they're losing Michigan by seven points, go ahead and pull 62 00:03:17,280 --> 00:03:19,360 Speaker 2: the curtains down, roll up the rug. It's all over. 63 00:03:20,560 --> 00:03:24,239 Speaker 2: That's why they did this. That would have happened regardless, 64 00:03:24,280 --> 00:03:27,720 Speaker 2: even if the debate had been even if the convention 65 00:03:27,880 --> 00:03:31,680 Speaker 2: rather had been bumpy, even if Saturday in Butler, Pennsylvania 66 00:03:31,680 --> 00:03:34,080 Speaker 2: had not happened. I believe we'd still have Biden out 67 00:03:34,120 --> 00:03:38,560 Speaker 2: of the race. But the Democrats, we saw each of 68 00:03:38,640 --> 00:03:42,480 Speaker 2: the major constituencies of the Democrat Party line up against 69 00:03:42,520 --> 00:03:44,720 Speaker 2: Joe Biden in force amount. He did not want to go. 70 00:03:44,800 --> 00:03:48,119 Speaker 2: He did not go willingly, but one after the other, 71 00:03:48,920 --> 00:03:53,520 Speaker 2: starting with Democrats in Congress, Nancy Pelosi came out against him, 72 00:03:53,600 --> 00:03:56,400 Speaker 2: Chuck Schumer came out against him, Hakeem Jeffries came out 73 00:03:56,440 --> 00:03:58,480 Speaker 2: against him. And it was all self interest. All the 74 00:03:58,480 --> 00:04:01,520 Speaker 2: Democrats in Congress were looking at their poles saying, holy cow, 75 00:04:01,720 --> 00:04:04,080 Speaker 2: we're about to lose, and they all lined up against him. 76 00:04:04,120 --> 00:04:07,840 Speaker 2: But you also saw you saw Barack Obama quietly coming 77 00:04:07,880 --> 00:04:09,520 Speaker 2: out against him. He put out a quick tweet in 78 00:04:09,560 --> 00:04:12,360 Speaker 2: support of him, but he also signed off on George 79 00:04:12,440 --> 00:04:17,160 Speaker 2: Clooney representing Hollywood abandoning him, saying Joe get out. We 80 00:04:17,200 --> 00:04:21,360 Speaker 2: saw the corporate media uniformly pushing him out, We saw 81 00:04:21,400 --> 00:04:24,880 Speaker 2: the donors pushing him out, and the pressure became too 82 00:04:24,960 --> 00:04:27,920 Speaker 2: much to bear. One senator after another senator after another 83 00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:32,119 Speaker 2: senator on the Democrat side, Biden didn't have a choice. 84 00:04:32,160 --> 00:04:34,200 Speaker 2: But I will say it was very savvy of them 85 00:04:34,240 --> 00:04:38,240 Speaker 2: to wait until after this convention. But let's let's just 86 00:04:38,279 --> 00:04:41,440 Speaker 2: first go with the news. So today, here's what Joe 87 00:04:41,480 --> 00:04:44,839 Speaker 2: Biden put out this afternoon. This is the letter he 88 00:04:44,839 --> 00:04:48,520 Speaker 2: put out. He tweeted it out. This This screenshot is 89 00:04:48,560 --> 00:04:52,599 Speaker 2: from twelve forty six pm. Interestingly enough, it had ninety 90 00:04:52,600 --> 00:04:55,920 Speaker 2: five point nine million views already. Yeah, I just checked 91 00:04:55,920 --> 00:04:57,880 Speaker 2: a minute ago, where about two hours later it was 92 00:04:57,960 --> 00:05:01,200 Speaker 2: up to one hundred and sixty one million views. This 93 00:05:01,400 --> 00:05:04,919 Speaker 2: is his resignation letter. And rather than you and me 94 00:05:05,040 --> 00:05:07,480 Speaker 2: read it, which which should be fine, but we'd have 95 00:05:07,560 --> 00:05:11,320 Speaker 2: to say words that are demonstrably untrue, things claiming that 96 00:05:11,320 --> 00:05:13,680 Speaker 2: Biden had actually done something well, that his record was 97 00:05:13,680 --> 00:05:16,640 Speaker 2: something other than the train rerecord is rather than you 98 00:05:16,760 --> 00:05:20,200 Speaker 2: or me read it, I think we're better off engaging 99 00:05:20,200 --> 00:05:25,240 Speaker 2: in a bit of schadenfreud. And so watching Jensaki on MSNBC. 100 00:05:24,839 --> 00:05:28,600 Speaker 1: Re Ormer White House Press secretary, Joe Biden's press secretary, 101 00:05:28,760 --> 00:05:30,400 Speaker 1: having to carry the water, and. 102 00:05:30,320 --> 00:05:32,120 Speaker 2: I gotta say, look, since I said that there are 103 00:05:32,120 --> 00:05:34,640 Speaker 2: a number of lies about his record, Jensaki is actually 104 00:05:34,680 --> 00:05:37,880 Speaker 2: quite accomplished at reading lies. But for those of you 105 00:05:38,000 --> 00:05:40,360 Speaker 2: watching this as a video pod, so this is one. 106 00:05:40,640 --> 00:05:43,039 Speaker 2: We do this podcast three days a week. All three 107 00:05:43,080 --> 00:05:45,159 Speaker 2: of them are on audio, typically one a week is 108 00:05:45,160 --> 00:05:48,120 Speaker 2: on video. This is one of the video and audiopods. 109 00:05:48,120 --> 00:05:50,800 Speaker 2: And I will say, if you're listening on audio, I'd 110 00:05:50,880 --> 00:05:52,960 Speaker 2: encourage you go to YouTube and watch it on video 111 00:05:53,320 --> 00:05:58,800 Speaker 2: because to watch Jensaki's face, you cannot fully appreciate the 112 00:05:59,000 --> 00:06:02,880 Speaker 2: agony without watching it. As she's reading these words, and 113 00:06:02,920 --> 00:06:08,520 Speaker 2: as we're watching the Democrat Party light itself on fire. Here, 114 00:06:08,560 --> 00:06:09,640 Speaker 2: give a listen, give a watch. 115 00:06:12,400 --> 00:06:15,520 Speaker 3: We have breaking news here. President Biden has announced he 116 00:06:15,560 --> 00:06:17,880 Speaker 3: will stand down from the race. We're going to read 117 00:06:17,920 --> 00:06:18,760 Speaker 3: the statement here. 118 00:06:19,279 --> 00:06:22,359 Speaker 2: Her expression, which is actually frozen on the screen right now, 119 00:06:23,080 --> 00:06:24,000 Speaker 2: she's about to cry. 120 00:06:24,080 --> 00:06:26,120 Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean she's like, what has just happened to 121 00:06:26,160 --> 00:06:26,720 Speaker 1: my world? No? 122 00:06:26,560 --> 00:06:31,359 Speaker 2: No, no, it is that's all right, Go ahead, and 123 00:06:31,400 --> 00:06:31,880 Speaker 2: keep playing. 124 00:06:32,080 --> 00:06:34,159 Speaker 3: We also have Tim Miller, who's going to be joining 125 00:06:34,240 --> 00:06:38,440 Speaker 3: us shortly. Over the past, my fellow Americans, over the 126 00:06:38,480 --> 00:06:40,559 Speaker 3: past three and a half years, we have made great 127 00:06:40,600 --> 00:06:44,680 Speaker 3: progress as a nation. To today, America has the strongest 128 00:06:44,720 --> 00:06:48,720 Speaker 3: economy in the world. We've made historic investments in rebuilding 129 00:06:48,760 --> 00:06:53,120 Speaker 3: our nation, in lowering prescription drug costs for seniors, and 130 00:06:53,160 --> 00:06:57,280 Speaker 3: in expanding affordable healthcare to a record number of Americans. 131 00:06:57,520 --> 00:07:01,920 Speaker 3: We've provided critically needed care to a million veterans exposed 132 00:07:02,120 --> 00:07:05,320 Speaker 3: to toxic substances. Past the first thank you so much. 133 00:07:05,360 --> 00:07:07,279 Speaker 3: I'm just going to read off the paper here. Past 134 00:07:07,320 --> 00:07:10,640 Speaker 3: the first safety law in thirty years, appointed the first 135 00:07:10,680 --> 00:07:13,680 Speaker 3: African American woman to the Supreme Court, and passed the 136 00:07:13,680 --> 00:07:17,120 Speaker 3: most significant climate legislation in the history of the world. 137 00:07:18,320 --> 00:07:21,480 Speaker 1: I mean, really, that's I mean, she just goes straight 138 00:07:21,520 --> 00:07:24,040 Speaker 1: into it and is like totally lost, like what just 139 00:07:24,120 --> 00:07:24,960 Speaker 1: happened to us? 140 00:07:25,200 --> 00:07:30,440 Speaker 2: Well, Joe Biden has suspended as you and I predicted 141 00:07:30,440 --> 00:07:33,280 Speaker 2: ten months ago, as you and I predicted a month 142 00:07:33,320 --> 00:07:36,240 Speaker 2: ago on the debate, and he will not be on 143 00:07:36,280 --> 00:07:38,960 Speaker 2: the ballot. That has never happened before. 144 00:07:39,160 --> 00:07:39,360 Speaker 1: You know. 145 00:07:39,400 --> 00:07:43,160 Speaker 2: The closest analog is the nineteen sixty eight Democrat Convention, 146 00:07:43,720 --> 00:07:44,240 Speaker 2: which was in. 147 00:07:44,240 --> 00:07:45,560 Speaker 1: Chicago as well. 148 00:07:45,960 --> 00:07:49,200 Speaker 2: That is the last time you had an incumbent Democrat president, 149 00:07:49,200 --> 00:07:50,720 Speaker 2: and that case Lyndon B. 150 00:07:50,840 --> 00:07:51,239 Speaker 1: Johnson. 151 00:07:51,360 --> 00:07:54,400 Speaker 2: Yeah, not run for reelection. Now, Lyndon B. Johnson, Why 152 00:07:54,480 --> 00:07:56,200 Speaker 2: did he not run for reelection? A big part of 153 00:07:56,240 --> 00:07:58,880 Speaker 2: it is he'd lost the support of the American people. 154 00:07:58,880 --> 00:08:01,000 Speaker 2: He'd lost the sport of a Republic of independence and 155 00:08:01,000 --> 00:08:03,040 Speaker 2: Democrats and when you lose all of them, there ain't 156 00:08:03,040 --> 00:08:05,720 Speaker 2: nobody left. It was the middle of the Vietnam War. 157 00:08:06,600 --> 00:08:08,960 Speaker 2: Unlike Joe Biden, it was not that he was too old. 158 00:08:09,040 --> 00:08:11,640 Speaker 2: It was just that he was physically worn down and tired, 159 00:08:11,680 --> 00:08:14,240 Speaker 2: and he'd lost the American people, and so LBJ didn't 160 00:08:14,280 --> 00:08:17,520 Speaker 2: run and had You want to talk about an incredibly 161 00:08:17,600 --> 00:08:20,800 Speaker 2: contentious election. In that election, there was a guy named 162 00:08:20,840 --> 00:08:23,760 Speaker 2: Robert F. Kennedy who was running. That tragically is the 163 00:08:23,800 --> 00:08:27,520 Speaker 2: election cycle where Bobby Kennedy was assassinated in the course 164 00:08:27,520 --> 00:08:30,040 Speaker 2: of the cycle. But he was for a period the 165 00:08:30,160 --> 00:08:36,200 Speaker 2: rising star. You ended up having lbj's vice president, Hubert Humphrey, 166 00:08:36,440 --> 00:08:40,880 Speaker 2: got the nomination, but it was an incredibly close and 167 00:08:40,960 --> 00:08:45,680 Speaker 2: contested race because you had a challenge from the left 168 00:08:46,480 --> 00:08:53,040 Speaker 2: and a challenge from the left over Vietnam a chaotic convention, 169 00:08:53,240 --> 00:08:59,600 Speaker 2: and outside you had rabid protesters engaged in violence and rioting. 170 00:08:59,800 --> 00:09:02,720 Speaker 2: I think we may literally be seeing history repeating itself. 171 00:09:03,240 --> 00:09:05,480 Speaker 1: Let's talk about and there's two aspects of what I'm 172 00:09:05,520 --> 00:09:09,360 Speaker 1: about to ask you. Number One, we see early on, 173 00:09:09,440 --> 00:09:12,840 Speaker 1: I think the front runner is Kamala Harris. We see 174 00:09:12,840 --> 00:09:16,679 Speaker 1: people coalescing behind her. But the real question is how 175 00:09:16,720 --> 00:09:20,160 Speaker 1: did she get that support so quickly from this president? 176 00:09:20,559 --> 00:09:23,160 Speaker 1: What is the deal that's being done behind the scenes? 177 00:09:23,559 --> 00:09:26,840 Speaker 1: Was this White House staffers making sure, Hey, I want 178 00:09:26,840 --> 00:09:28,720 Speaker 1: to stay in and keep my power, I have a 179 00:09:28,760 --> 00:09:30,640 Speaker 1: better chance of keeping it with KMA than going with 180 00:09:30,720 --> 00:09:33,839 Speaker 1: somebody else. All these people and jobs in around Biden 181 00:09:33,920 --> 00:09:37,040 Speaker 1: hare so like, Hey, I can keep my power if 182 00:09:37,080 --> 00:09:40,520 Speaker 1: she's the person or was it hey He's saying, okay, 183 00:09:40,559 --> 00:09:43,240 Speaker 1: I trust you COMA to take care of me, protect 184 00:09:43,240 --> 00:09:46,199 Speaker 1: my son, possibly give out clemensy or pardons that may 185 00:09:46,200 --> 00:09:48,880 Speaker 1: be needed down the road. How did the sausage get 186 00:09:48,880 --> 00:09:49,640 Speaker 1: made on this deal? 187 00:09:49,760 --> 00:09:53,160 Speaker 2: All right, Well, let's go back to Biden's resignation letter. 188 00:09:53,200 --> 00:09:55,680 Speaker 2: Put that back up there. If you look at the 189 00:09:55,720 --> 00:10:00,280 Speaker 2: resignation letter, that when he put it out earlier today, 190 00:10:00,400 --> 00:10:03,400 Speaker 2: he says, and I'm going to finish reading from where 191 00:10:03,440 --> 00:10:06,120 Speaker 2: we cut off on Jensaki. It's been the greatest honor 192 00:10:06,120 --> 00:10:07,840 Speaker 2: of my life to serve as your president. And while 193 00:10:07,840 --> 00:10:10,640 Speaker 2: it has been my intention to seek reelection, the damned 194 00:10:10,640 --> 00:10:13,800 Speaker 2: Democrats dromat of office. No, you didn't say that, he says. 195 00:10:14,280 --> 00:10:16,600 Speaker 2: I believe it isn't the best interest of my party, 196 00:10:17,000 --> 00:10:21,000 Speaker 2: notice his party first, yep, and the country for me 197 00:10:21,080 --> 00:10:24,120 Speaker 2: to stand down and focus solely on fulfilling my duties 198 00:10:24,160 --> 00:10:26,400 Speaker 2: as president for the remainder of my term. I will 199 00:10:26,440 --> 00:10:28,840 Speaker 2: speak to the nation later this week in more detail 200 00:10:29,200 --> 00:10:33,320 Speaker 2: about my decision. For now, let me express my deepest 201 00:10:33,360 --> 00:10:35,800 Speaker 2: gratitude to all those who work so hard to see 202 00:10:35,800 --> 00:10:40,160 Speaker 2: me reelect it. I want to thank Vice President Kamala 203 00:10:40,200 --> 00:10:43,800 Speaker 2: Harris for being an extraordinary partner in all this work. 204 00:10:44,200 --> 00:10:47,000 Speaker 2: And let me express my heartfelt appreciation to the American 205 00:10:47,040 --> 00:10:49,640 Speaker 2: people for the faith and trust you have placed in me. 206 00:10:50,200 --> 00:10:50,400 Speaker 1: Now. 207 00:10:50,440 --> 00:10:54,199 Speaker 2: Interestingly enough, in this resignation letter, you notice what he 208 00:10:54,240 --> 00:10:54,600 Speaker 2: doesn't do. 209 00:10:55,240 --> 00:10:56,160 Speaker 1: I fully endorse. 210 00:10:56,320 --> 00:10:58,360 Speaker 2: He doesn't mention endorsement at all, he says. I want 211 00:10:58,360 --> 00:11:02,960 Speaker 2: to thank Kamala Harris, and he's silent. Now he puts 212 00:11:03,000 --> 00:11:05,200 Speaker 2: that out, and I'm assuming when he puts that out, 213 00:11:05,240 --> 00:11:07,360 Speaker 2: the powers that be in the White House and in 214 00:11:07,400 --> 00:11:11,440 Speaker 2: the Democratic Party freaked the hell out. Yeah, lost their minds, 215 00:11:11,640 --> 00:11:14,360 Speaker 2: lost their minds. And so shortly thereafter, look at the 216 00:11:14,400 --> 00:11:17,200 Speaker 2: tweet he put out as a follow up, like it 217 00:11:17,280 --> 00:11:19,720 Speaker 2: says something your resignation letter. It's kind of odd to 218 00:11:19,760 --> 00:11:20,800 Speaker 2: need a follow up. 219 00:11:21,120 --> 00:11:23,480 Speaker 1: And then a quick follow up at that very quick. 220 00:11:23,280 --> 00:11:26,120 Speaker 2: Follow up, but there was enough time. That other one 221 00:11:26,200 --> 00:11:28,679 Speaker 2: was twelve forty six. This is one thirteen, so you know, 222 00:11:29,160 --> 00:11:31,599 Speaker 2: time passed. And then he sends out another tweet. My 223 00:11:31,640 --> 00:11:34,760 Speaker 2: fellow Democrats, I've decided not to accept the nomination to 224 00:11:34,800 --> 00:11:36,800 Speaker 2: focus all my energies on my duties as president for 225 00:11:36,840 --> 00:11:39,320 Speaker 2: the remainder of my term. Notice that was in his letter. 226 00:11:39,559 --> 00:11:39,800 Speaker 1: Yep. 227 00:11:40,240 --> 00:11:42,600 Speaker 2: My very first decision as the party nominee in twenty 228 00:11:42,640 --> 00:11:44,800 Speaker 2: twenty was to pick Kamala Harris as my vice president. 229 00:11:45,200 --> 00:11:48,800 Speaker 2: And it's the best decision I've made today. I want 230 00:11:48,840 --> 00:11:51,320 Speaker 2: to offer my full support and endorsement for Kamala to 231 00:11:51,360 --> 00:11:53,640 Speaker 2: be the nominee of our party this year. Democrats, it's 232 00:11:53,679 --> 00:11:55,360 Speaker 2: time to come together and beat Trump. 233 00:11:55,760 --> 00:11:59,440 Speaker 1: Let's do this. So delayed reaction. 234 00:11:59,760 --> 00:12:03,800 Speaker 2: So at this point, Kamala is clearly the front runner. 235 00:12:04,520 --> 00:12:09,400 Speaker 2: Joe Biden is explicitly supporting her. In the time that followed, 236 00:12:09,679 --> 00:12:13,080 Speaker 2: Bill Clinton came out in support of her, Hillary Clinton 237 00:12:13,120 --> 00:12:16,079 Speaker 2: came out in support of her. Alex Soros has come 238 00:12:16,120 --> 00:12:17,000 Speaker 2: out in support of her. 239 00:12:17,080 --> 00:12:19,000 Speaker 1: Alex, by the way, maybe one of the most important 240 00:12:19,040 --> 00:12:22,280 Speaker 1: actual endorsements, because it's follow the money well. 241 00:12:22,040 --> 00:12:27,200 Speaker 2: And look, George Soros has been the most important donor 242 00:12:27,320 --> 00:12:31,600 Speaker 2: behind not just the Democrat Party, but the radical leftist, 243 00:12:31,600 --> 00:12:36,240 Speaker 2: the cultural Marxist, the anti Semitic protesters on campus. Soros 244 00:12:36,280 --> 00:12:39,960 Speaker 2: has been funding all of that. According to multiple reports, 245 00:12:40,000 --> 00:12:44,800 Speaker 2: George Soros's mental condition and mental deterioration is at least 246 00:12:44,840 --> 00:12:48,920 Speaker 2: where Biden's is, if not substantially worse. And it's the 247 00:12:49,000 --> 00:12:52,080 Speaker 2: son Alex Soros is the one that's now making the decision. 248 00:12:52,360 --> 00:12:55,120 Speaker 2: So understand when Alex Soros tweets out that he's behind 249 00:12:55,200 --> 00:12:59,079 Speaker 2: Kamala Harris, what he's saying is the money is behind 250 00:12:59,160 --> 00:13:01,199 Speaker 2: Kamala Harris. You're going to see a lot of that. 251 00:13:02,880 --> 00:13:03,200 Speaker 1: Now. 252 00:13:04,440 --> 00:13:07,240 Speaker 2: Interestingly enough, there's some other Democrats who are not quick 253 00:13:07,280 --> 00:13:09,920 Speaker 2: to get on board. So, for example, take a look 254 00:13:09,920 --> 00:13:12,600 Speaker 2: at what Gavin Newsom tweeted, President Biden has been an 255 00:13:12,640 --> 00:13:15,560 Speaker 2: extraordinary history making president, a leader who has fought hard 256 00:13:15,559 --> 00:13:19,040 Speaker 2: for working people and delivered astonishing results for all Americans. 257 00:13:19,240 --> 00:13:20,800 Speaker 2: He will go down in history as one of the 258 00:13:20,800 --> 00:13:24,120 Speaker 2: most impactful and selfless presidents. Thank you, Joe Biden. 259 00:13:24,679 --> 00:13:26,200 Speaker 1: Yeah, there's not much of an endorsement. 260 00:13:26,240 --> 00:13:29,880 Speaker 2: There is though, whose name's not there? Yeah, Kamala And 261 00:13:30,040 --> 00:13:35,480 Speaker 2: interesting enough. Now, look, Gavin is not lacking an ambition. 262 00:13:36,559 --> 00:13:39,440 Speaker 1: That's the very PC way of putting it. I like 263 00:13:39,520 --> 00:13:43,080 Speaker 1: that it He's like, let's go to the convention, let's 264 00:13:43,120 --> 00:13:43,840 Speaker 1: have this thing out. 265 00:13:44,120 --> 00:13:46,440 Speaker 2: It'll be interesting. And by the way, earlier today there 266 00:13:46,440 --> 00:13:49,960 Speaker 2: were was all sorts of chatter that Hillary Clinton was 267 00:13:50,000 --> 00:13:53,880 Speaker 2: going to make a play for this. It is interesting 268 00:13:53,960 --> 00:13:55,920 Speaker 2: that she and Bill came out very quickly and said 269 00:13:55,960 --> 00:14:01,560 Speaker 2: let's get behind Kamala. Your going to see lots of chatter. 270 00:14:01,640 --> 00:14:07,280 Speaker 2: There are Democrats talking about wanting to have a open convention, 271 00:14:07,600 --> 00:14:10,920 Speaker 2: a sort of mini primary battle, have the delegates decide 272 00:14:11,320 --> 00:14:15,839 Speaker 2: under DNC rules. Initially, the delegates will vote. It's being 273 00:14:15,880 --> 00:14:19,000 Speaker 2: speculated that Biden will release his delegates and say vote 274 00:14:19,000 --> 00:14:21,280 Speaker 2: for whom you want, and there may be a process. 275 00:14:21,320 --> 00:14:26,280 Speaker 2: They may do a process where Kamala RAN's and a 276 00:14:26,320 --> 00:14:28,400 Speaker 2: handful of other people ron and they have a first 277 00:14:28,440 --> 00:14:32,240 Speaker 2: ballot under the DNC rules, the so called super delegates. 278 00:14:32,240 --> 00:14:35,960 Speaker 2: Those include things like governors, things like senators. They don't 279 00:14:36,040 --> 00:14:38,440 Speaker 2: vote until the second ballot, So the first ballot is 280 00:14:38,480 --> 00:14:41,000 Speaker 2: the actual elected delegates. And if they were elected to 281 00:14:41,000 --> 00:14:44,520 Speaker 2: support Joe Biden, if they've been released, igar whatever they want. 282 00:14:44,600 --> 00:14:49,160 Speaker 2: They can do whatever they want. I think at the 283 00:14:49,280 --> 00:14:50,920 Speaker 2: end of the day, there's gonna be a little bit 284 00:14:50,920 --> 00:14:53,080 Speaker 2: of noise, there's gonna be a little bit of squawking. 285 00:14:53,480 --> 00:14:56,040 Speaker 2: But I stand by my prediction from day one that 286 00:14:56,120 --> 00:14:59,320 Speaker 2: there is one person, in one person only for whom 287 00:14:59,400 --> 00:15:02,080 Speaker 2: the Democrats will be willing to push Kamala Harris aside, 288 00:15:02,080 --> 00:15:05,240 Speaker 2: and that is Michelle Obama. It doesn't appear right now 289 00:15:05,320 --> 00:15:07,720 Speaker 2: that Michelle is willing to get in now that could 290 00:15:07,800 --> 00:15:12,680 Speaker 2: be on August surprise. We've got nearly a month until 291 00:15:12,680 --> 00:15:13,680 Speaker 2: the Democrat Convention. 292 00:15:13,840 --> 00:15:16,440 Speaker 1: Can we just talk horse trading so people understand what 293 00:15:16,480 --> 00:15:18,840 Speaker 1: this is gonna look like for the next thirty days. 294 00:15:18,840 --> 00:15:22,200 Speaker 1: Behind the scenes, delegates now have the power to pick 295 00:15:22,240 --> 00:15:23,600 Speaker 1: who the president could be. 296 00:15:23,880 --> 00:15:27,160 Speaker 2: Yep, and by the way. Why is that because the 297 00:15:27,200 --> 00:15:31,040 Speaker 2: Democrat Party. Look, they knew that Joe Biden was mentally incompetent. 298 00:15:31,080 --> 00:15:32,960 Speaker 2: They knew a year ago. They ran him anyway. They 299 00:15:33,000 --> 00:15:35,360 Speaker 2: had the voters, all the Democrat voters come vote for him, 300 00:15:35,480 --> 00:15:37,320 Speaker 2: even though they knew he was mentally incompetent, that he 301 00:15:37,320 --> 00:15:39,440 Speaker 2: couldn't do the job now. He couldn't do the job then, 302 00:15:39,720 --> 00:15:42,320 Speaker 2: but they wanted power. The only thing that changed is 303 00:15:42,360 --> 00:15:46,680 Speaker 2: with the debate. It became untenable. The American people realized 304 00:15:47,640 --> 00:15:50,160 Speaker 2: this guy is not capable of doing the job anymore. 305 00:15:50,200 --> 00:15:52,440 Speaker 2: It was only because they feared they were going to 306 00:15:52,520 --> 00:15:55,520 Speaker 2: lose that the Democrats have abandoned him. But the consequence 307 00:15:55,560 --> 00:15:59,000 Speaker 2: of that is the Democrats were perfectly fine with Democrat 308 00:15:59,040 --> 00:16:02,320 Speaker 2: primary voters being completely disenfranchised. You will not get to 309 00:16:02,360 --> 00:16:04,160 Speaker 2: select the Democrat nominee. 310 00:16:04,240 --> 00:16:06,800 Speaker 1: Yeah, this person will be elected by no one in 311 00:16:06,840 --> 00:16:09,560 Speaker 1: the public. It will all be done with horse trading. 312 00:16:09,560 --> 00:16:10,200 Speaker 1: It can happen on. 313 00:16:10,520 --> 00:16:13,480 Speaker 2: A handful of elite's, a handful of special interest, which 314 00:16:13,520 --> 00:16:16,920 Speaker 2: actually is pretty typical of who the Democrat Party is 315 00:16:17,080 --> 00:16:20,440 Speaker 2: actually true, the irony is that they engage in Freudian 316 00:16:20,480 --> 00:16:24,240 Speaker 2: projection at an historic level where everything they accuse their 317 00:16:24,280 --> 00:16:28,640 Speaker 2: opponents of is what they're doing. But Democrat primary voters 318 00:16:28,680 --> 00:16:31,200 Speaker 2: will have no say in who the nominee is. It 319 00:16:31,240 --> 00:16:33,560 Speaker 2: will be powerbrokers in Chicago. 320 00:16:33,800 --> 00:16:37,080 Speaker 1: So let's just paint behind the scenes so people understand 321 00:16:37,120 --> 00:16:39,720 Speaker 1: the corruption that can come out of this. If you 322 00:16:40,080 --> 00:16:44,240 Speaker 1: need delegates to get the nomination and you coalesce in 323 00:16:44,360 --> 00:16:47,440 Speaker 1: smaller groups and then you go forward and say, hey, 324 00:16:47,920 --> 00:16:50,960 Speaker 1: I'm so and so I'm representing thirty five people in 325 00:16:51,000 --> 00:16:54,600 Speaker 1: this state California. You can't win without us. I would 326 00:16:54,640 --> 00:16:57,560 Speaker 1: like this, and this person would like this, and this 327 00:16:57,600 --> 00:16:59,920 Speaker 1: person will like this, and this person would like this, 328 00:17:00,000 --> 00:17:02,080 Speaker 1: and their kids would like these jobs in the White House. 329 00:17:02,480 --> 00:17:04,879 Speaker 1: If you give us this, you get all of our votes. 330 00:17:05,240 --> 00:17:08,320 Speaker 1: That is exactly what we've seen happen at state level. 331 00:17:08,520 --> 00:17:11,200 Speaker 1: We've seen corruption happen in a way when they're replacing 332 00:17:11,200 --> 00:17:11,480 Speaker 1: a seat. 333 00:17:11,520 --> 00:17:14,639 Speaker 2: Hey, Rody Gooievich went to jail for basically selling a 334 00:17:14,680 --> 00:17:17,359 Speaker 2: Senate seat. This is going to happen now one hundred 335 00:17:17,359 --> 00:17:19,440 Speaker 2: thousand times over. And by the way, put on top 336 00:17:19,480 --> 00:17:23,159 Speaker 2: of that, the big labor unions and the big money 337 00:17:23,160 --> 00:17:27,520 Speaker 2: players and the Democrats party so corrupt, and the Sierra 338 00:17:27,640 --> 00:17:30,400 Speaker 2: Club and the pro abortion groups and all of the difference. 339 00:17:30,640 --> 00:17:34,160 Speaker 2: The Democrat Party today is a coalition of rent seekers, 340 00:17:34,200 --> 00:17:39,560 Speaker 2: of people who make their money suckling off the teet 341 00:17:39,600 --> 00:17:42,440 Speaker 2: of government. That's who they are, and it is all 342 00:17:42,480 --> 00:17:45,040 Speaker 2: about power and influence. Many of them. The reason they 343 00:17:45,040 --> 00:17:48,040 Speaker 2: were willing to back someone who was obviously not mentally 344 00:17:48,080 --> 00:17:50,960 Speaker 2: competent to be president is because they all stayed in power. 345 00:17:50,960 --> 00:17:54,040 Speaker 2: Now suddenly Joe Biden is going to be gone, and 346 00:17:54,119 --> 00:17:57,439 Speaker 2: so they're all desperately scrambling how do I keep my power? 347 00:17:57,840 --> 00:18:00,679 Speaker 2: And we're going to see that play out. What I 348 00:18:00,840 --> 00:18:02,960 Speaker 2: think will happen at the end of the day, I think, 349 00:18:03,440 --> 00:18:06,320 Speaker 2: number one, the Democrats are too much of racial and 350 00:18:06,400 --> 00:18:09,840 Speaker 2: gender being counters to push an African American woman aside 351 00:18:09,880 --> 00:18:12,000 Speaker 2: for a white guy. So anyone looking at Gavin Newsom 352 00:18:12,080 --> 00:18:13,680 Speaker 2: or anyone else, I just don't think that's gonna happen. 353 00:18:13,720 --> 00:18:14,359 Speaker 1: Yeah, I agree. 354 00:18:14,440 --> 00:18:17,280 Speaker 2: That's why I think Michelle Obama is the only person 355 00:18:17,640 --> 00:18:20,360 Speaker 2: who could push her aside, And at least right now, 356 00:18:20,400 --> 00:18:23,159 Speaker 2: it does not see Michelle is trying to do that. 357 00:18:23,200 --> 00:18:26,760 Speaker 2: If it's not Michelle, I think we will see Kamala Harrison. 358 00:18:26,760 --> 00:18:28,360 Speaker 2: I think the real battle is going to be who 359 00:18:28,359 --> 00:18:29,040 Speaker 2: the VP is. 360 00:18:29,359 --> 00:18:31,359 Speaker 1: I want to ask you about the VP. But before 361 00:18:31,400 --> 00:18:33,639 Speaker 1: we get to that, is it fair to say that 362 00:18:33,720 --> 00:18:38,480 Speaker 1: this might be the most corrupt picking of a presidential 363 00:18:38,560 --> 00:18:42,239 Speaker 1: candidate in modern political history because of the time that 364 00:18:42,280 --> 00:18:46,080 Speaker 1: people have to build their power and to basically an essence, 365 00:18:46,119 --> 00:18:46,960 Speaker 1: sell their vote. 366 00:18:47,240 --> 00:18:49,840 Speaker 2: And it's perhaps now not to be fair. It hasn't 367 00:18:49,840 --> 00:18:52,680 Speaker 2: happened yet, but it's all going to be behind closed doors. 368 00:18:52,920 --> 00:18:54,560 Speaker 2: It's not going to be the voters. It's not going 369 00:18:54,640 --> 00:18:57,440 Speaker 2: to be in public. It's one thing if you campaign, 370 00:18:58,040 --> 00:19:00,280 Speaker 2: Look at some level, you could say all campaigns are 371 00:19:00,280 --> 00:19:02,480 Speaker 2: in a way about buying votes. If you campaign and 372 00:19:02,520 --> 00:19:05,800 Speaker 2: say I'm for Medicare for all, for socialized medicare, you're 373 00:19:05,840 --> 00:19:07,960 Speaker 2: you're saying the Democrats are big on being the Santa 374 00:19:07,960 --> 00:19:09,880 Speaker 2: Claus Party. We'll give you free stuff if you vote 375 00:19:09,880 --> 00:19:10,200 Speaker 2: for us. 376 00:19:11,320 --> 00:19:12,200 Speaker 1: That's one thing. 377 00:19:12,400 --> 00:19:15,399 Speaker 2: Different level, it's a totally different if you make a 378 00:19:15,520 --> 00:19:18,959 Speaker 2: public promise in the press that I will support a 379 00:19:19,119 --> 00:19:22,320 Speaker 2: law that that has broad effect. You know, Joe Biden, 380 00:19:22,400 --> 00:19:24,719 Speaker 2: I'm gonna give away a trillion dollars to people who 381 00:19:24,800 --> 00:19:25,520 Speaker 2: have student loans. 382 00:19:25,600 --> 00:19:27,400 Speaker 1: Yeah, vote for me. I'm buying your vote. 383 00:19:27,600 --> 00:19:31,240 Speaker 2: That is very different from you know, Ben, you control 384 00:19:31,280 --> 00:19:34,080 Speaker 2: a pocket of votes. You ever thought of being Secretary 385 00:19:34,080 --> 00:19:34,520 Speaker 2: of the Navy? 386 00:19:34,720 --> 00:19:35,160 Speaker 1: Yeah? 387 00:19:35,200 --> 00:19:35,840 Speaker 2: You like votes? 388 00:19:35,920 --> 00:19:38,440 Speaker 1: Yeah? Or I hear there's a great house in this country. 389 00:19:38,480 --> 00:19:40,320 Speaker 1: And the ambassadorship there's really fun. 390 00:19:41,119 --> 00:19:44,919 Speaker 2: I mean, it's we're going to see that happening every 391 00:19:45,040 --> 00:19:48,720 Speaker 2: day now, mind you, you're gonna get competing people making 392 00:19:48,760 --> 00:19:54,119 Speaker 2: those promises. And in terms of the vice president, that's 393 00:19:54,160 --> 00:19:56,560 Speaker 2: going to be part of the negotiation is who Kamala 394 00:19:56,600 --> 00:20:01,600 Speaker 2: team's up with to try to lock down lock down 395 00:20:01,800 --> 00:20:05,000 Speaker 2: the power brokers in the Democrat Party. And one question 396 00:20:05,119 --> 00:20:08,040 Speaker 2: is does she try to quickly buy off whoever she 397 00:20:08,119 --> 00:20:12,480 Speaker 2: thinks her most formidable adversary is Possibly? Does she try 398 00:20:12,480 --> 00:20:17,040 Speaker 2: to get all of the potential adversaries to compete wooing 399 00:20:17,080 --> 00:20:21,440 Speaker 2: for her affection more likely, But it's going to take 400 00:20:21,480 --> 00:20:23,720 Speaker 2: an entire month playing out for us to see well. 401 00:20:23,720 --> 00:20:27,160 Speaker 1: And can you promise someone the vice presidency so they 402 00:20:27,240 --> 00:20:29,880 Speaker 1: don't challenge you? That's the question I want to ask 403 00:20:29,920 --> 00:20:31,720 Speaker 1: you next. But first I want to tell you about 404 00:20:31,720 --> 00:20:33,800 Speaker 1: my friends over at chalk. If Joe Biden would have 405 00:20:33,800 --> 00:20:36,720 Speaker 1: just taken some chalk, he might still be in this race. 406 00:20:36,800 --> 00:20:40,360 Speaker 1: You never know.

Let's 428 00:21:54,080 --> 00:21:58,080 Speaker 1: talk about VP. Forget what we just went through. Holy crap. 429 00:21:58,600 --> 00:22:02,840 Speaker 1: Somebody who was never on a ballot yep, that no 430 00:22:02,880 --> 00:22:05,440 Speaker 1: one's ever voted for for vice president is all of 431 00:22:05,480 --> 00:22:07,440 Speaker 1: a sudden going to become the vice president the United 432 00:22:07,440 --> 00:22:10,920 Speaker 1: States of America, possibly certainly will be the nominee for 433 00:22:10,960 --> 00:22:14,320 Speaker 1: the Democratic Party. How do they pick? I don't think 434 00:22:14,359 --> 00:22:18,040 Speaker 1: a lot of people understand this. It's confusing enough picking 435 00:22:18,080 --> 00:22:20,399 Speaker 1: the now Kamala Harris or whoever it's going to be. 436 00:22:20,440 --> 00:22:22,880 Speaker 1: But let's say it is Kamla. It's a little bit 437 00:22:22,880 --> 00:22:25,320 Speaker 1: more orderly. How the hell are we going to get 438 00:22:25,359 --> 00:22:27,560 Speaker 1: the vice president? You'll pick for the Democratic Party? How 439 00:22:27,640 --> 00:22:28,280 Speaker 1: does that work? 440 00:22:28,840 --> 00:22:32,119 Speaker 2: Look, they're going to decide who brings the most to 441 00:22:32,160 --> 00:22:35,800 Speaker 2: the ticket. Often you look at geographic concerns. Will someone 442 00:22:35,800 --> 00:22:39,040 Speaker 2: put a state into play? Will someone be beneficial? Sometimes 443 00:22:39,040 --> 00:22:41,480 Speaker 2: you look to things like, as someone a great fundraiser, 444 00:22:41,480 --> 00:22:43,080 Speaker 2: will they bring a bunch of donors? Will they bring 445 00:22:43,119 --> 00:22:46,480 Speaker 2: other interest groups on board? Sometimes you look to neutralize 446 00:22:46,480 --> 00:22:49,960 Speaker 2: someone who's a potential opponent. In this instance, I think 447 00:22:50,000 --> 00:22:53,800 Speaker 2: the Democrats are one hundred percent about race and gender. 448 00:22:53,840 --> 00:22:56,080 Speaker 2: It's how they think. It's how they're wired. They don't 449 00:22:56,080 --> 00:22:59,719 Speaker 2: look at individuals. It's DEI, so it is DII. I 450 00:22:59,760 --> 00:23:02,280 Speaker 2: think think the VP nominee will be a boring white guy. 451 00:23:02,720 --> 00:23:03,560 Speaker 2: That's my prediction. 452 00:23:03,600 --> 00:23:04,479 Speaker 1: And they're there. 453 00:23:04,640 --> 00:23:06,800 Speaker 2: They actually have a number of boring white guys. So 454 00:23:06,800 --> 00:23:09,240 Speaker 2: so so they have a broad. 455 00:23:09,320 --> 00:23:11,640 Speaker 1: So who picks it? Is it the person who gets 456 00:23:11,640 --> 00:23:15,560 Speaker 1: the nomination, So there's no voting by the delegates. To me, 457 00:23:15,640 --> 00:23:18,119 Speaker 1: you don't understand the process. It will be. 458 00:23:20,080 --> 00:23:23,080 Speaker 2: My guess is Kamala will announce who her VP is 459 00:23:23,119 --> 00:23:26,080 Speaker 2: going to be before they vote. It could conceivably be afterwards. 460 00:23:26,160 --> 00:23:30,160 Speaker 2: It depends. If there's a real contested. 461 00:23:29,600 --> 00:23:32,080 Speaker 1: Battle at the convention, Uh. 462 00:23:31,880 --> 00:23:34,840 Speaker 2: Then then maybe she doesn't announce it until after she's 463 00:23:34,880 --> 00:23:38,640 Speaker 2: the nominee. Typically, the way it happens is the nominee 464 00:23:38,720 --> 00:23:40,840 Speaker 2: is sewn up before the convention. It's been a long 465 00:23:40,920 --> 00:23:44,000 Speaker 2: time since we've had a contested convention, and we've there's 466 00:23:44,040 --> 00:23:47,159 Speaker 2: been uncertainty as to who the nominee is going to be. 467 00:23:48,320 --> 00:23:51,000 Speaker 1: If the if the if the vote is really contentious 468 00:23:51,040 --> 00:23:53,320 Speaker 1: and it's a drag out knockdown at the convention. You're 469 00:23:53,359 --> 00:23:56,600 Speaker 1: saying there's a legit possibility that whoever comes away with 470 00:23:56,680 --> 00:23:59,959 Speaker 1: it will will barely survive that they get the nomination. 471 00:24:00,080 --> 00:24:01,359 Speaker 1: They say, Hey, in a week or two, I'll tell 472 00:24:01,359 --> 00:24:02,399 Speaker 1: you who my VP is going to be. 473 00:24:02,440 --> 00:24:04,040 Speaker 2: No, no, no, I think it would be at the convention. 474 00:24:04,280 --> 00:24:06,760 Speaker 2: I think it would be immediately thereafter. And if there 475 00:24:06,800 --> 00:24:09,399 Speaker 2: is a real fight, I mean, one thing that has happened, 476 00:24:09,520 --> 00:24:11,960 Speaker 2: you know, you could go to whoever's number two and say, look, 477 00:24:12,119 --> 00:24:13,800 Speaker 2: I'll make you a VP if you drop out and 478 00:24:13,840 --> 00:24:15,560 Speaker 2: endorse me, and that could be how you lock up 479 00:24:15,600 --> 00:24:17,919 Speaker 2: the votes. I don't think it'll come to that. I 480 00:24:17,920 --> 00:24:21,480 Speaker 2: actually think people will coalesce around Kammalin more quickly than that. 481 00:24:21,760 --> 00:24:23,640 Speaker 1: Who's the front runner then right now in your mind? 482 00:24:23,640 --> 00:24:25,800 Speaker 1: I mean, obviously this could change in a couple weeks. 483 00:24:25,800 --> 00:24:28,080 Speaker 2: But if I'm gonna give you, I'm gonna give you 484 00:24:28,080 --> 00:24:31,600 Speaker 2: two names and why Josh Shapiro. 485 00:24:31,320 --> 00:24:33,920 Speaker 1: Okay, and tell people that don't know Josh who he is. 486 00:24:33,960 --> 00:24:37,480 Speaker 2: He is the governor of Pennsylvania. He is widely perceived 487 00:24:37,520 --> 00:24:41,280 Speaker 2: as a moderate. He is Jewish. He was attorney general 488 00:24:42,520 --> 00:24:47,560 Speaker 2: in Pennsylvania. I think what is compelling is number one. 489 00:24:48,760 --> 00:24:52,840 Speaker 2: Shapiro has strong polling numbers in Pennsylvania. If the Democrats 490 00:24:52,920 --> 00:24:57,040 Speaker 2: can win Pennsylvania, the path to Trump winning becomes much 491 00:24:57,119 --> 00:25:01,280 Speaker 2: much harder. He's also pursued as a moderate, and I 492 00:25:01,280 --> 00:25:05,680 Speaker 2: think actually naming a Jewish Democrat would help tamp down 493 00:25:06,320 --> 00:25:07,160 Speaker 2: some of. 494 00:25:06,960 --> 00:25:09,440 Speaker 1: The anti Semitic that they've been dealing with the last 495 00:25:09,440 --> 00:25:09,920 Speaker 1: several months. 496 00:25:10,000 --> 00:25:13,160 Speaker 2: Yes, and so I think all of that, if you're 497 00:25:13,200 --> 00:25:16,879 Speaker 2: sitting there around Kamala, that's attractive. A second choice that 498 00:25:16,920 --> 00:25:19,000 Speaker 2: I think is also very attractive as a VP is 499 00:25:19,040 --> 00:25:23,840 Speaker 2: Mark Kelly. Mark Kelly is Senator from Arizona. Yeah, Mark 500 00:25:23,920 --> 00:25:27,560 Speaker 2: Kelly is a Navy veteran. Mark Kelly is a former astronaut. 501 00:25:27,600 --> 00:25:28,439 Speaker 2: He's been to space. 502 00:25:29,080 --> 00:25:31,000 Speaker 1: He's also got a fame factor to him. Yeah. 503 00:25:31,040 --> 00:25:35,280 Speaker 2: And Mark Kelly is also affable, and he seems reasonable. 504 00:25:35,680 --> 00:25:39,080 Speaker 2: He doesn't seem crazy when you talk with him. I 505 00:25:39,720 --> 00:25:43,000 Speaker 2: like Mark Kelly personally. He's someone he's like a Joe Manchin. 506 00:25:43,040 --> 00:25:46,400 Speaker 2: It won't be Joe Manchen, but he's someone who his affect, 507 00:25:46,440 --> 00:25:49,359 Speaker 2: his demeanor is very affable and if you met him 508 00:25:49,359 --> 00:25:52,160 Speaker 2: on the street, you wouldn't think the guy was a Democrat. 509 00:25:52,200 --> 00:25:54,359 Speaker 2: You wouldn't think that he voted with a looney left 510 00:25:54,359 --> 00:25:57,440 Speaker 2: on almost everything because he seems like a normal guy. 511 00:25:58,840 --> 00:26:01,720 Speaker 2: I think that would be very attractive. And Arizona, it 512 00:26:01,800 --> 00:26:05,639 Speaker 2: is not as vital as swing state as Pennsylvania doesn't 513 00:26:05,640 --> 00:26:08,760 Speaker 2: have nearly as many electoral votes, but Arizona is certainly 514 00:26:09,040 --> 00:26:12,560 Speaker 2: a battleground state, and Mark Kelly on the ballot could help. 515 00:26:12,960 --> 00:26:15,120 Speaker 2: I would put those two as the top two. 516 00:26:15,520 --> 00:26:17,359 Speaker 1: I got to ask, and where's Gavin Newsom? Is he 517 00:26:17,520 --> 00:26:21,320 Speaker 1: number three? If you're going for a white guy, the 518 00:26:21,400 --> 00:26:23,800 Speaker 1: argument they would say is someone says he brings California, 519 00:26:23,840 --> 00:26:26,480 Speaker 1: but the reality is California got California anyway exactly. 520 00:26:26,560 --> 00:26:29,119 Speaker 2: So if they go Gavin Newsom, it's a combination of 521 00:26:29,119 --> 00:26:32,600 Speaker 2: two things. Want one money, okay, and Newsom's got a 522 00:26:32,600 --> 00:26:35,040 Speaker 2: bunch of donors who love him who'll write checks. And 523 00:26:35,200 --> 00:26:38,840 Speaker 2: California is the ATM of the Democrat Party. And so 524 00:26:39,080 --> 00:26:43,440 Speaker 2: now Kamala is a Californian, so she's got a lot 525 00:26:43,440 --> 00:26:44,800 Speaker 2: of that money behind her also. 526 00:26:44,920 --> 00:26:47,600 Speaker 1: But it neutralizes him too, right, wouldn't that be the 527 00:26:47,600 --> 00:26:49,560 Speaker 1: perk because then you'd have to worry about him in four. 528 00:26:49,480 --> 00:26:52,840 Speaker 2: Years potentially, Although she doesn't worry about him in four 529 00:26:52,920 --> 00:26:55,080 Speaker 2: years if she's the incumbent president, he's not going to 530 00:26:55,119 --> 00:26:59,320 Speaker 2: primary her. If she gets this and gets elected, Newsom 531 00:26:59,359 --> 00:27:00,040 Speaker 2: doesn't get to run. 532 00:27:00,040 --> 00:27:00,560 Speaker 1: For eight years. 533 00:27:00,600 --> 00:27:02,800 Speaker 2: That that's just it, just that's how it's going to 534 00:27:03,000 --> 00:27:07,000 Speaker 2: knocks that down down the road. Look, Newsome, I think 535 00:27:07,119 --> 00:27:11,040 Speaker 2: is perceived as too liberal. My guess is they're not 536 00:27:11,080 --> 00:27:13,040 Speaker 2: going to be that worried about money. And the other 537 00:27:13,080 --> 00:27:15,000 Speaker 2: reason you would go with Newsom is he's talented. 538 00:27:15,040 --> 00:27:15,679 Speaker 1: I mean he is. 539 00:27:16,200 --> 00:27:20,040 Speaker 2: He is a snake oil salesman par excellence. He's a communicator, 540 00:27:20,119 --> 00:27:20,719 Speaker 2: he's slick. 541 00:27:21,040 --> 00:27:23,120 Speaker 1: He can be a great campaigner because peop would show 542 00:27:23,160 --> 00:27:25,760 Speaker 1: up to see him. In the Democratic Party, that's important too, right, 543 00:27:25,800 --> 00:27:28,400 Speaker 1: I mean, you you have an event and your VP 544 00:27:28,600 --> 00:27:31,800 Speaker 1: is popular, that's good for your campaign. 545 00:27:32,520 --> 00:27:36,080 Speaker 2: Look, and in many ways he would overshadow Comel. It 546 00:27:36,119 --> 00:27:39,639 Speaker 2: reminds me back in the nineteen eighty eight election. I 547 00:27:39,640 --> 00:27:43,160 Speaker 2: remember Saturday Night Live was making fun as we're getting 548 00:27:43,200 --> 00:27:46,040 Speaker 2: really close to the election, and you had George Bush 549 00:27:46,080 --> 00:27:49,119 Speaker 2: and dan Quayle and look, people had ridiculed dan Quail enormously. 550 00:27:49,520 --> 00:27:52,720 Speaker 2: And so what what SNL did is the ballots is 551 00:27:52,760 --> 00:27:55,720 Speaker 2: the party of parties have requested they be printed. And 552 00:27:55,760 --> 00:27:58,520 Speaker 2: the Republican side had Bush and giant letters and Quail 553 00:27:58,560 --> 00:28:01,359 Speaker 2: and tiny the letters. And then on the Democrat side 554 00:28:01,359 --> 00:28:03,520 Speaker 2: you had Michael Dacaccas who rode in a tank with 555 00:28:03,560 --> 00:28:06,560 Speaker 2: a helmet and looked ridiculous. And then Lloyd Benson, it 556 00:28:06,560 --> 00:28:09,800 Speaker 2: was the Texas senator who was moderate well received, was 557 00:28:09,960 --> 00:28:13,440 Speaker 2: going over well. SNL did the Battle of Docacas, tiny 558 00:28:13,480 --> 00:28:15,040 Speaker 2: little letter and Benson. 559 00:28:15,320 --> 00:28:17,840 Speaker 1: Yeah, that could happen. 560 00:28:18,560 --> 00:28:22,000 Speaker 2: Kamala could be worried about is the risk that Gavin 561 00:28:22,040 --> 00:28:25,520 Speaker 2: would would overshadow her. And that's why I think Shapiro 562 00:28:25,600 --> 00:28:29,040 Speaker 2: or Kelly are more likely. I'd be surprised. I don't 563 00:28:29,080 --> 00:28:32,320 Speaker 2: think she thinks she needs the money, and I think 564 00:28:32,359 --> 00:28:34,600 Speaker 2: the downside she would perceive is greater. 565 00:28:34,680 --> 00:28:37,840 Speaker 1: All right, let's talk about the media, because what we're 566 00:28:37,880 --> 00:28:40,320 Speaker 1: going to see right now, and this is my biggest concern. 567 00:28:40,880 --> 00:28:43,720 Speaker 1: You and I talked about this in Milwaukee. If Biden 568 00:28:43,800 --> 00:28:46,800 Speaker 1: dropped out. Now it's Biden has dropped out. It's a 569 00:28:46,840 --> 00:28:51,880 Speaker 1: complete reset, yes, of this presidential campaign, the polls, and 570 00:28:51,920 --> 00:28:53,680 Speaker 1: I want to be very clear to our audience. This 571 00:28:53,720 --> 00:28:55,120 Speaker 1: is my opinion. I don't know if you agree with 572 00:28:55,160 --> 00:28:56,600 Speaker 1: me or not. I want to know your take on 573 00:28:56,680 --> 00:29:00,160 Speaker 1: it are completely meaningless and worthless right now, correct. The 574 00:29:00,240 --> 00:29:02,400 Speaker 1: only poll that's going to matter is the first poll 575 00:29:02,760 --> 00:29:07,000 Speaker 1: after we find out who the Democrats actually pounding. 576 00:29:07,040 --> 00:29:10,080 Speaker 2: That poll's not going to matter. And and listen, this 577 00:29:10,120 --> 00:29:12,880 Speaker 2: is something you and I talked about in our last podcast. 578 00:29:12,880 --> 00:29:17,080 Speaker 2: We did two podcasts live from the convention. I love 579 00:29:17,120 --> 00:29:19,800 Speaker 2: the convention. It was a blast. It's the best Republican convention. 580 00:29:19,840 --> 00:29:24,120 Speaker 2: I've ever seen, more unity than I've ever seen. However, 581 00:29:24,240 --> 00:29:26,600 Speaker 2: I was very worried at the convention, and I expressed 582 00:29:26,600 --> 00:29:30,280 Speaker 2: this to you at the time, which is I am 583 00:29:30,320 --> 00:29:33,920 Speaker 2: afraid people were over confident at the convention that there 584 00:29:34,000 --> 00:29:37,520 Speaker 2: was an air of celebration. It was we've won, We're 585 00:29:37,520 --> 00:29:40,920 Speaker 2: on to victory. This is a landslide. Trump's coming back in. 586 00:29:41,000 --> 00:29:44,080 Speaker 2: We've got a huge Republican majority. He heard people talking 587 00:29:44,120 --> 00:29:47,480 Speaker 2: about it. Fifty five to fifty six Republican senators, huge 588 00:29:47,520 --> 00:29:51,240 Speaker 2: Republican house. Like people were planning. People were talking about, 589 00:29:51,240 --> 00:29:52,920 Speaker 2: all right, who's gonna be Secretary of State, who's gonna 590 00:29:52,920 --> 00:29:55,040 Speaker 2: be Secretary of Defense? Like they're handing. 591 00:29:54,800 --> 00:29:58,040 Speaker 1: Already moved on. Yeah, we wanted now what's next? And 592 00:29:58,080 --> 00:29:58,880 Speaker 1: that's not the case. 593 00:29:59,120 --> 00:30:01,280 Speaker 2: And my view I'm trying to say this is, Look, 594 00:30:01,800 --> 00:30:06,040 Speaker 2: there's a time for celebration, celebrate after election day, celebrate 595 00:30:06,080 --> 00:30:08,440 Speaker 2: after we've won. Now is not the time for celebration. 596 00:30:08,840 --> 00:30:10,800 Speaker 2: Now's the time for hard work. Now's the time for 597 00:30:10,920 --> 00:30:14,080 Speaker 2: rolling up your sleeves and going to win. And my 598 00:30:14,200 --> 00:30:17,239 Speaker 2: assumption is coming out of the convention, Republicans will get 599 00:30:17,280 --> 00:30:19,800 Speaker 2: a little bounce. You know, historically it's about four points 600 00:30:19,880 --> 00:30:21,760 Speaker 2: is what you get out of your convention. I think 601 00:30:21,800 --> 00:30:24,200 Speaker 2: it was a strong convention. So let's assume that happens 602 00:30:25,440 --> 00:30:27,640 Speaker 2: the Democrats, and I will give them credit for one thing. 603 00:30:27,680 --> 00:30:31,320 Speaker 2: They're timing of releasing it right after the convention. Perfect 604 00:30:31,360 --> 00:30:36,000 Speaker 2: timing to do this, because it resets the whole race. 605 00:30:36,040 --> 00:30:38,960 Speaker 2: It almost doesn't matter what the bounce was out of 606 00:30:38,960 --> 00:30:42,160 Speaker 2: the convention. And here's the problem. For the next month, 607 00:30:43,720 --> 00:30:47,040 Speaker 2: all of the news is going to be dominated by 608 00:30:47,120 --> 00:30:49,160 Speaker 2: who the Democrat is going to be. The Democrats are 609 00:30:49,160 --> 00:30:52,240 Speaker 2: about to have a month long convention instead of a week. 610 00:30:52,280 --> 00:30:53,880 Speaker 2: Why do you get a bounce out of a convention. 611 00:30:53,920 --> 00:30:55,480 Speaker 2: You get a bounce out of convention because you have 612 00:30:55,520 --> 00:30:58,400 Speaker 2: four days of driving the news. The earn media every 613 00:30:58,480 --> 00:31:01,880 Speaker 2: night of your people on TV, pitching all of the 614 00:31:01,880 --> 00:31:04,640 Speaker 2: benefits of your nominee, all the benefits of your record, 615 00:31:04,640 --> 00:31:07,440 Speaker 2: all the benefits of your agenda. Instead of a four 616 00:31:07,480 --> 00:31:09,360 Speaker 2: day convention, the Democrats are about to have a month 617 00:31:09,400 --> 00:31:12,920 Speaker 2: long convention where every news story will be focused on 618 00:31:12,960 --> 00:31:15,680 Speaker 2: who the nominee is gonna be. And they're also going 619 00:31:15,760 --> 00:31:19,200 Speaker 2: to be doing a combination of number one, praising Biden. 620 00:31:19,240 --> 00:31:23,440 Speaker 2: You know, it's not graceful to he's on his way out. 621 00:31:23,560 --> 00:31:25,080 Speaker 2: People don't want to criticize him anymore. 622 00:31:25,080 --> 00:31:26,520 Speaker 1: We're going they did this for America. 623 00:31:26,600 --> 00:31:28,880 Speaker 2: He's historic, He's one of the greatest presidents of the 624 00:31:28,920 --> 00:31:30,640 Speaker 2: history of the universe. I mean, you're gonna hear all 625 00:31:30,680 --> 00:31:34,760 Speaker 2: of that effusively, and then they're going to talk about 626 00:31:34,840 --> 00:31:38,080 Speaker 2: what an historic president Kamala Harris would be and it's 627 00:31:38,120 --> 00:31:41,240 Speaker 2: going to be a month long We're going to see. 628 00:31:41,400 --> 00:31:44,720 Speaker 1: Multi I would argue multi billion dollar in kind contribution. 629 00:31:45,240 --> 00:31:51,400 Speaker 2: And by the way, Republicans, I worry vastly underestimate Kamala 630 00:31:51,440 --> 00:31:53,720 Speaker 2: Harris that they don't think very highly of her. They 631 00:31:53,720 --> 00:31:56,960 Speaker 2: don't think she's terribly bright. When you or I bring 632 00:31:57,080 --> 00:32:00,960 Speaker 2: up Kamala Harris's name in Republican circles people. It's immediately 633 00:32:00,960 --> 00:32:05,760 Speaker 2: a punch line. I think people are underestimating what billions 634 00:32:05,760 --> 00:32:09,440 Speaker 2: of dollars of free media, of the entire corrupt corporate 635 00:32:09,480 --> 00:32:15,800 Speaker 2: media complex. Pitching her as a combination of Mother Teresa, 636 00:32:15,960 --> 00:32:17,680 Speaker 2: Oprah and Gandhi. 637 00:32:17,280 --> 00:32:19,000 Speaker 1: I mean, and save the party. 638 00:32:19,120 --> 00:32:22,760 Speaker 2: It's going to be and young and vibrant, and it's historic. 639 00:32:23,840 --> 00:32:26,360 Speaker 2: I mean it is going to be now. I still 640 00:32:26,400 --> 00:32:31,680 Speaker 2: think Trump wins in November. But this is not a layup. 641 00:32:31,760 --> 00:32:34,480 Speaker 2: It is not given in what's coming in front of us. Look, 642 00:32:34,640 --> 00:32:36,920 Speaker 2: if you're a Democrat, what makes you nervous is chaos, 643 00:32:36,960 --> 00:32:40,120 Speaker 2: and this much chaos one hundred days out is scary. 644 00:32:40,800 --> 00:32:43,960 Speaker 2: But you know what even more scary is going to 645 00:32:44,000 --> 00:32:46,040 Speaker 2: an election where you're almost certain to lose, which is 646 00:32:46,080 --> 00:32:49,360 Speaker 2: where Biden was. So from their perspective, chaos and a 647 00:32:49,440 --> 00:32:53,560 Speaker 2: chance to win or certain loss, they'll take chaos. But 648 00:32:53,680 --> 00:32:56,400 Speaker 2: Republicans need to understand just how dangerous this is. 649 00:32:56,600 --> 00:32:59,000 Speaker 1: It's all perspective in life. And I said this earlier. 650 00:32:59,040 --> 00:33:01,040 Speaker 1: It's like you're on the greatest cruise ship in the world, 651 00:33:01,400 --> 00:33:03,600 Speaker 1: and that cruise ship's going down, and a crappy little 652 00:33:03,600 --> 00:33:06,600 Speaker 1: fishing boat shows up and it saves your life. You 653 00:33:06,680 --> 00:33:08,880 Speaker 1: love that crappy fishing boat the rest of your life. 654 00:33:08,960 --> 00:33:11,239 Speaker 1: It doesn't matter how bad it looks, how ugly it was. 655 00:33:11,520 --> 00:33:14,480 Speaker 1: You just got your life saved. And that's Kamala Harris 656 00:33:14,520 --> 00:33:15,280 Speaker 1: like not a good. 657 00:33:15,200 --> 00:33:18,160 Speaker 2: Game that you do not have a career as a 658 00:33:18,200 --> 00:33:21,560 Speaker 2: Democrat politics ad maker. I can see the ad now, 659 00:33:21,720 --> 00:33:24,880 Speaker 2: Kamala Harris the boat to save your life. 660 00:33:24,800 --> 00:33:27,280 Speaker 1: To save your life. But it's perspective. I mean, that's 661 00:33:27,280 --> 00:33:30,200 Speaker 1: what they're dealing with. I know, right, But she didn't 662 00:33:30,200 --> 00:33:31,880 Speaker 1: even make it. I mean, I go back to when 663 00:33:31,880 --> 00:33:34,680 Speaker 1: she was running. She got zero delegates, correct, and she 664 00:33:34,800 --> 00:33:37,920 Speaker 1: was a terrible kennt. But when you're now in the 665 00:33:37,920 --> 00:33:40,280 Speaker 1: position of that boat sinking and I'm the only one 666 00:33:40,360 --> 00:33:43,080 Speaker 1: that's got doesn't have a hole in the boat, I'm 667 00:33:43,120 --> 00:33:46,320 Speaker 1: pretty I'm pretty appealing to everybody on that boat, and 668 00:33:46,360 --> 00:33:48,080 Speaker 1: I love you, and I'm willing to swim to you, 669 00:33:48,160 --> 00:33:50,160 Speaker 1: and I'm willing to hug you and kiss you and 670 00:33:50,200 --> 00:33:53,160 Speaker 1: say thank you for saving my life. It's all perspective. 671 00:33:53,240 --> 00:33:55,200 Speaker 1: And that's what the media is going to do to her, 672 00:33:55,600 --> 00:33:59,520 Speaker 1: is say she just saved us from guaranteed to fate defeat. 673 00:33:59,600 --> 00:34:02,360 Speaker 1: She is a savior to the Democratic Party. We love 674 00:34:02,400 --> 00:34:05,720 Speaker 1: her and they're all going to be energized. That terrifies me. 675 00:34:05,960 --> 00:34:11,279 Speaker 2: Yeah, energized. And once she's the nominee, unified. You know, 676 00:34:11,360 --> 00:34:14,480 Speaker 2: one thing to keep in mind. People are focused on, oh, money, 677 00:34:14,520 --> 00:34:17,759 Speaker 2: and Trump has a money advantage. Put yourself in the 678 00:34:17,800 --> 00:34:22,880 Speaker 2: mindset of a Democrat gazillionaire, of a Democrat activist, of 679 00:34:22,920 --> 00:34:27,040 Speaker 2: a Democrat union boss, of a Democrat special interest leader. 680 00:34:27,640 --> 00:34:31,759 Speaker 2: A week ago, you were depressed, you were demoralizing, you 681 00:34:31,800 --> 00:34:35,440 Speaker 2: were contemplating America run by Hitler. And by the way, 682 00:34:35,440 --> 00:34:37,319 Speaker 2: if you're one of those people, you think Donald Trump 683 00:34:37,320 --> 00:34:40,080 Speaker 2: is Adolf Hitler. Yeah, but look like you were just 684 00:34:40,280 --> 00:34:41,480 Speaker 2: I don't even know if I want to show up 685 00:34:41,520 --> 00:34:41,839 Speaker 2: and vote. 686 00:34:41,880 --> 00:34:42,440 Speaker 1: It's terrible. 687 00:34:42,440 --> 00:34:46,040 Speaker 2: It's horrible. And now to go back to the sinking 688 00:34:46,080 --> 00:34:50,399 Speaker 2: cruise ship, you've been thrown a lifeline. I think we're 689 00:34:50,440 --> 00:34:54,799 Speaker 2: going to see jubilation on the Democrat side. That's dangerous too, 690 00:34:54,960 --> 00:34:55,840 Speaker 2: you know, jubilation. 691 00:34:56,200 --> 00:34:56,480 Speaker 1: Yeah. 692 00:34:56,520 --> 00:34:58,400 Speaker 2: What happens is donors pull out their checks and they 693 00:34:58,440 --> 00:35:01,560 Speaker 2: write really big checks when they're massive. What happens is 694 00:35:01,680 --> 00:35:04,680 Speaker 2: activists go and they work harder, they turn more people out, 695 00:35:05,080 --> 00:35:09,719 Speaker 2: and that particularly if the Republicans are over confident, we 696 00:35:09,840 --> 00:35:13,680 Speaker 2: cannot be over confident. That combination is dangerous. And you 697 00:35:13,680 --> 00:35:16,719 Speaker 2: know what, it reminds me of, potentially I hope this 698 00:35:16,760 --> 00:35:18,319 Speaker 2: is not right, but it reminds me of a few 699 00:35:18,400 --> 00:35:21,279 Speaker 2: years ago the A and M versus Alabama game. I 700 00:35:21,360 --> 00:35:23,200 Speaker 2: was there at the A and M versus Alabama game. 701 00:35:23,239 --> 00:35:24,920 Speaker 2: Alabama at the time was the number one team in 702 00:35:24,920 --> 00:35:25,320 Speaker 2: the country. 703 00:35:25,440 --> 00:35:27,439 Speaker 1: You have me at sports analogy. I'm all in now, 704 00:35:27,760 --> 00:35:28,359 Speaker 1: A and M. 705 00:35:28,400 --> 00:35:30,440 Speaker 2: A and M had started off as a top twenty 706 00:35:30,440 --> 00:35:32,239 Speaker 2: five team and had a good team, but it had 707 00:35:32,320 --> 00:35:36,120 Speaker 2: lost two games in a row. Yep, two opponents that 708 00:35:36,160 --> 00:35:38,520 Speaker 2: weren't wasn't supposed to lose. I think maybe Mississippi State. 709 00:35:38,640 --> 00:35:40,120 Speaker 1: Yeah, it was bad. It was bad. 710 00:35:40,680 --> 00:35:42,840 Speaker 2: And so we came into the game and I was 711 00:35:42,880 --> 00:35:46,120 Speaker 2: there in college station, and I remember saying to my 712 00:35:46,160 --> 00:35:47,640 Speaker 2: buddies I was at the game with, I said, you 713 00:35:47,640 --> 00:35:49,799 Speaker 2: know what, I think A and M has a real 714 00:35:49,960 --> 00:35:53,440 Speaker 2: chance to win this game because I think Alabama's feeling 715 00:35:53,480 --> 00:35:55,759 Speaker 2: like we're the number one team in the country and 716 00:35:55,800 --> 00:35:57,919 Speaker 2: these A and M guys suck. Look at look they're 717 00:35:57,960 --> 00:36:00,680 Speaker 2: losing to teams that are not not contenders. 718 00:36:01,320 --> 00:36:02,000 Speaker 1: This is easy. 719 00:36:02,000 --> 00:36:04,600 Speaker 2: We're playing a junior high team, and I think the 720 00:36:04,680 --> 00:36:07,200 Speaker 2: Aggies were pissed off or they were at Kyle Field 721 00:36:07,239 --> 00:36:09,479 Speaker 2: and they were defending their home and they were mad 722 00:36:09,520 --> 00:36:11,840 Speaker 2: because everyone was dismissing them as a joke and they're like, 723 00:36:11,880 --> 00:36:16,120 Speaker 2: wait a second, We're a top tier football team. And 724 00:36:16,160 --> 00:36:19,240 Speaker 2: they ended up winning that game. It was awesome. Forty 725 00:36:19,280 --> 00:36:22,840 Speaker 2: one thirty eight was the final score. Kyle Field erupted. 726 00:36:23,840 --> 00:36:26,719 Speaker 2: I don't want to see the Democrats playing the role 727 00:36:26,760 --> 00:36:29,040 Speaker 2: of A and M in that dynamic, and so my 728 00:36:29,160 --> 00:36:32,239 Speaker 2: message to Republicans is do not behave like this is 729 00:36:32,239 --> 00:36:34,960 Speaker 2: in the bag, because that's one of the easiest ways 730 00:36:35,000 --> 00:36:36,120 Speaker 2: to ensure it's. 731 00:36:35,880 --> 00:36:37,719 Speaker 1: Not in the bag. I want to ask you strategy 732 00:36:37,800 --> 00:36:41,600 Speaker 1: question on if you are the Trump team, what do 733 00:36:41,640 --> 00:36:43,719 Speaker 1: you do when you just start acting like you're running 734 00:36:43,760 --> 00:36:45,640 Speaker 1: against Harris. Before you answer that, I want to tell 735 00:36:45,680 --> 00:36:49,080 Speaker 1: you about our friends over at Preborn and the incredible 736 00:36:49,120 --> 00:36:52,120 Speaker 1: work that they are doing and how you can get involved. 737 00:36:52,520 --> 00:36:52,640 Speaker 2: Uh. 738 00:36:52,880 --> 00:36:57,920 Speaker 1: Preborn is an organization that fights for unborn children. How 739 00:36:57,920 --> 00:37:01,840 Speaker 1: do they do this? Preborn's networks clinics shine the bright 740 00:37:01,960 --> 00:37:05,160 Speaker 1: light in the darkest corner of our country where abortions 741 00:37:05,200 --> 00:37:08,040 Speaker 1: take place thousands of times a day. If we can 742 00:37:08,080 --> 00:37:12,239 Speaker 1: help protect these children, it is so important that we 743 00:37:12,440 --> 00:37:16,279 Speaker 1: make sure that their heartbeat, their voices are heard. How 744 00:37:16,280 --> 00:37:19,800 Speaker 1: do they do this? Preborn introduces mothers to their precious 745 00:37:19,840 --> 00:37:24,600 Speaker 1: preborn babies through ultrasound. Ultrasound is an incredible tool where 746 00:37:24,640 --> 00:37:28,279 Speaker 1: a mother can hear the heart of their baby. This 747 00:37:28,440 --> 00:37:32,680 Speaker 1: combination leads to Preborn saving over two one hundred and 748 00:37:32,840 --> 00:37:36,120 Speaker 1: eighty thousand babies to date.

If you are Donald Trump, you 759 00:38:22,880 --> 00:38:26,360 Speaker 1: now know that Biden is gone. The number one question 760 00:38:26,440 --> 00:38:29,239 Speaker 1: that the campaign's got to ask is how do you 761 00:38:29,360 --> 00:38:32,279 Speaker 1: campaign against somebody for the next month that you don't 762 00:38:32,280 --> 00:38:33,120 Speaker 1: know who it's going to be. 763 00:38:34,000 --> 00:38:37,200 Speaker 2: So look, I'd say forty percent you campaign against Kamala Harris, 764 00:38:37,280 --> 00:38:40,880 Speaker 2: you assume it's Kamala, and sixty percent you campaign against 765 00:38:40,920 --> 00:38:44,279 Speaker 2: the Democrats record. And I will say I've been concerned 766 00:38:44,320 --> 00:38:46,959 Speaker 2: in recent weeks and months that we've spent too much 767 00:38:47,040 --> 00:38:52,080 Speaker 2: time attacking Joe Biden for his mental diminishment and not 768 00:38:52,320 --> 00:38:55,440 Speaker 2: enough time making the case as you and I often do, 769 00:38:56,200 --> 00:38:59,000 Speaker 2: that the Biden Harris Democrat record has been a train wreck. 770 00:38:59,040 --> 00:39:00,840 Speaker 2: And I say Democrat right record, because it's not just 771 00:39:00,960 --> 00:39:03,920 Speaker 2: Joe Biden, it's Kamala Harris, and it's every single Democrat 772 00:39:03,960 --> 00:39:07,080 Speaker 2: in Congress, every Democrat Senator, every Democrat house member. They 773 00:39:07,239 --> 00:39:09,799 Speaker 2: voted repeatedly in favor of the spending and the debt 774 00:39:09,880 --> 00:39:12,960 Speaker 2: that is causing inflation. They voted repeatedly in favor of 775 00:39:12,960 --> 00:39:15,560 Speaker 2: Biden's war on oil and gas and energy that is 776 00:39:15,560 --> 00:39:18,880 Speaker 2: causing energy prices to skyrocket. They voted repeatedly in favor 777 00:39:18,880 --> 00:39:21,840 Speaker 2: of open borders that's endangering our families across this country. 778 00:39:22,160 --> 00:39:24,920 Speaker 2: They voted repeatedly in favor of letting violent criminals out 779 00:39:24,960 --> 00:39:27,760 Speaker 2: of jail. That is again endangering our families. They voted 780 00:39:27,800 --> 00:39:33,920 Speaker 2: repeatedly in favor of appeasing our enemies and undermining our allies. 781 00:39:33,960 --> 00:39:38,840 Speaker 2: And so from the Trump's campaign, I would assume it's Kamala, 782 00:39:38,920 --> 00:39:41,560 Speaker 2: but also make the broader point it is their agenda 783 00:39:41,640 --> 00:39:44,800 Speaker 2: that has failed the American people. The classic question in 784 00:39:44,840 --> 00:39:46,719 Speaker 2: any election, are you better off now than you were 785 00:39:46,760 --> 00:39:49,600 Speaker 2: four years ago? It doesn't matter what fill in the 786 00:39:49,600 --> 00:39:53,839 Speaker 2: blank democrat they drop into that slot, they're going to 787 00:39:53,840 --> 00:39:57,719 Speaker 2: be defending the same disastrous, failed record. And so I 788 00:39:57,800 --> 00:40:00,879 Speaker 2: hope the Trump campaign and I hope Republicans generally make 789 00:40:00,960 --> 00:40:03,000 Speaker 2: that case substantively. 790 00:40:03,040 --> 00:40:06,279 Speaker 1: On the merits, It's gonna be interesting. We're gonna cover 791 00:40:06,320 --> 00:40:09,319 Speaker 1: it all. Make sure you share this podcast with your 792 00:40:09,360 --> 00:40:13,600 Speaker 1: family and friends.

When this type of 796 00:40:21,640 --> 00:40:24,680 Speaker 1: news breaks, we do a podcast as fast as we can. 797 00:40:24,760 --> 00:40:25,879 Speaker 1: It's emergency pod. 798 00:40:26,000 --> 00:40:27,520 Speaker 2: Yes, let me make a final statement. 799 00:40:27,640 --> 00:40:28,160 Speaker 1: I like this. 800 00:40:28,440 --> 00:40:32,880 Speaker 2: I'm going to place the odds that Joe Biden pardons 801 00:40:32,960 --> 00:40:38,640 Speaker 2: Hunter Biden at one hundred point zero percent. Hunter Biden 802 00:40:38,880 --> 00:40:42,520 Speaker 2: will get a pardon as a result of this decision today, 803 00:40:42,600 --> 00:40:44,200 Speaker 2: will not happen till after election day. 804 00:40:44,280 --> 00:40:45,520 Speaker 1: That's what I was gonna ask, when's the happening. 805 00:40:45,560 --> 00:40:47,040 Speaker 2: He's not gonna do it. He's not gonna do it 806 00:40:47,080 --> 00:40:50,600 Speaker 2: before election day, but he's gonna stick around and after 807 00:40:50,719 --> 00:40:53,000 Speaker 2: election day. I believe it is now one hundred percent 808 00:40:53,040 --> 00:40:54,399 Speaker 2: that Joe Biden will pardon Hunter. 809 00:40:55,360 --> 00:40:56,880 Speaker 1: I have a feeling that might be part of our 810 00:40:56,880 --> 00:40:59,640 Speaker 1: next show.
