1 00:00:00,840 --> 00:00:05,720 Speaker 1: Joe Biden has dropped out of the presidential race. 2 00:00:06,280 --> 00:00:08,160 Speaker 2: It is official. 3 00:00:08,800 --> 00:00:11,600 Speaker 1: Not only has Biden dropped out of the race, but 4 00:00:11,720 --> 00:00:14,840 Speaker 1: in his first letter to the country about him dropping 5 00:00:14,840 --> 00:00:19,440 Speaker 1: out of the race, he did not endorse Kamala Harris. 6 00:00:20,640 --> 00:00:20,880 Speaker 2: Why. 7 00:00:21,720 --> 00:00:24,799 Speaker 1: Maybe he needed leverage to get what he needs to 8 00:00:24,920 --> 00:00:30,240 Speaker 1: protect himself and his fail for their corruption with immunity. 9 00:00:31,400 --> 00:00:36,080 Speaker 1: This is a shocking moment in presidential history. It is 10 00:00:36,120 --> 00:00:41,000 Speaker 1: a shocking moment in political history. It is a shocking 11 00:00:41,080 --> 00:00:45,360 Speaker 1: moment for a president to not endorse his vice president 12 00:00:46,120 --> 00:00:49,960 Speaker 1: and then have to redo the statement after maybe he 13 00:00:50,040 --> 00:00:52,680 Speaker 1: got the deal done that he needed to get done 14 00:00:52,720 --> 00:00:57,000 Speaker 1: to then endorse her who is not endorsing Kamala Harris 15 00:00:57,080 --> 00:01:00,280 Speaker 1: is also shocking, meaning I think there's a very good 16 00:01:00,360 --> 00:01:04,040 Speaker 1: chance this could be a bloodbath of a fight at 17 00:01:04,080 --> 00:01:07,679 Speaker 1: the convention the Obamas and Pelosi. 18 00:01:08,160 --> 00:01:09,520 Speaker 2: Let me say this again. 19 00:01:09,959 --> 00:01:17,160 Speaker 1: Obama and Pelosi do not endorse Kamala Harris. This is 20 00:01:17,240 --> 00:01:22,160 Speaker 1: twenty twenty four chaos, and it is just the beginning. Now, 21 00:01:22,200 --> 00:01:25,920 Speaker 1: if you are a conservative, before you get too excited 22 00:01:25,959 --> 00:01:29,000 Speaker 1: about what I just told you, you need to understand 23 00:01:29,040 --> 00:01:31,360 Speaker 1: that the lead that Donald Trump has right now over 24 00:01:31,440 --> 00:01:36,200 Speaker 1: Joe Biden is meaningless and worthless. Let me also say this, 25 00:01:37,240 --> 00:01:41,119 Speaker 1: the lead that he has right now doesn't matter at 26 00:01:41,200 --> 00:01:45,920 Speaker 1: all for whoever the next candidate is why because the 27 00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:50,520 Speaker 1: media is about to coordinate someone who is the greatest 28 00:01:50,520 --> 00:01:55,559 Speaker 1: thing they've ever introduced to America. What you are witnessing 29 00:01:56,000 --> 00:01:58,880 Speaker 1: and what you are about to witness is going to 30 00:01:59,360 --> 00:02:02,840 Speaker 1: anger many of you that are conservatives, because the Democratic 31 00:02:02,920 --> 00:02:06,440 Speaker 1: Party and the media are going to give probably a 32 00:02:06,560 --> 00:02:11,760 Speaker 1: two billion dollar in kind donation and free advertising to 33 00:02:11,880 --> 00:02:16,440 Speaker 1: Kamala Harris or Michelle Obama or Gavin Newsom or whoever 34 00:02:16,480 --> 00:02:20,440 Speaker 1: the hell the Democrats end up choosing. They are going 35 00:02:20,480 --> 00:02:22,560 Speaker 1: to tell you that they are the greatest thing ever. 36 00:02:23,160 --> 00:02:25,640 Speaker 1: I'm going to use this analogy for you so that 37 00:02:25,680 --> 00:02:31,840 Speaker 1: you understand how massive perspective can change things, a difference 38 00:02:31,840 --> 00:02:34,840 Speaker 1: that it can make. Imagine you're on the greatest cruise 39 00:02:34,880 --> 00:02:38,520 Speaker 1: ship in the world, and imagine that cruise ship hits 40 00:02:38,560 --> 00:02:43,640 Speaker 1: an iceberg. Imagine that cruise ship is going down and 41 00:02:43,680 --> 00:02:46,720 Speaker 1: you look out and you see these little dinghy in 42 00:02:46,760 --> 00:02:49,960 Speaker 1: the water. You see a little fishing boat that looks 43 00:02:50,040 --> 00:02:54,120 Speaker 1: like total and utter crap. You see another boat coming 44 00:02:54,639 --> 00:02:57,520 Speaker 1: that's a tiny, little beat up little vessel that has 45 00:02:57,720 --> 00:03:04,000 Speaker 1: terrible seating and a small engine. But you know, on 46 00:03:04,120 --> 00:03:06,680 Speaker 1: the ship that you're on right now, you're going to 47 00:03:06,760 --> 00:03:11,360 Speaker 1: die if you don't get off that ship and think 48 00:03:11,400 --> 00:03:15,799 Speaker 1: about how good those other ships look. That is basically 49 00:03:16,120 --> 00:03:18,880 Speaker 1: what we're dealing with in the Democratic Party right now. 50 00:03:20,720 --> 00:03:24,800 Speaker 1: Joe Biden was the Titanic and it hit an iceberg 51 00:03:25,560 --> 00:03:28,679 Speaker 1: and it was going down, and all these little crappy 52 00:03:28,680 --> 00:03:31,760 Speaker 1: boats are coming in, and by golly, if you're on 53 00:03:31,800 --> 00:03:34,840 Speaker 1: the Titanic, that is the most beautiful ship you've ever seen. 54 00:03:35,680 --> 00:03:39,360 Speaker 1: There will be no scrutiny about those ships. There will 55 00:03:39,360 --> 00:03:42,320 Speaker 1: be no scrutiny about the past maintenance of those ships. 56 00:03:42,320 --> 00:03:45,200 Speaker 1: There will be no scrutiny over what type of ship 57 00:03:45,200 --> 00:03:48,920 Speaker 1: it is or if it even has the licenses papers 58 00:03:48,960 --> 00:03:53,320 Speaker 1: needed to be on the ocean. There will be no 59 00:03:53,480 --> 00:03:57,480 Speaker 1: scrutiny of any of the people that are piloting these 60 00:03:57,560 --> 00:04:02,200 Speaker 1: little dinghies or vessels or crappy boat votes, because whoever 61 00:04:02,440 --> 00:04:06,000 Speaker 1: ends up getting the nomination, they are going to become 62 00:04:06,520 --> 00:04:11,600 Speaker 1: God to the media and to the Democratic Party. When 63 00:04:11,640 --> 00:04:14,760 Speaker 1: your ship is sinking, let me talk about the money 64 00:04:14,760 --> 00:04:17,640 Speaker 1: that's about to flow in to whoever it is that 65 00:04:17,800 --> 00:04:23,040 Speaker 1: gets this nomination, when you're on a Titanic and you're rich, 66 00:04:23,839 --> 00:04:25,960 Speaker 1: and you're like, well, I'm not giving you any more 67 00:04:25,960 --> 00:04:28,760 Speaker 1: of my money because this ship is sinking, right, very 68 00:04:28,800 --> 00:04:32,440 Speaker 1: much like the Biden campaign, another ship comes to save 69 00:04:32,520 --> 00:04:36,040 Speaker 1: the day and you're willing to pay whatever it takes. 70 00:04:36,480 --> 00:04:38,159 Speaker 2: To get off of that sinking ship. 71 00:04:38,560 --> 00:04:42,560 Speaker 1: That is exactly what is going to happen with whoever 72 00:04:42,680 --> 00:04:46,000 Speaker 1: gets the nomination. It is going to be a coronation 73 00:04:47,120 --> 00:04:50,719 Speaker 1: whoever the Democratic Party picks. And I think the front 74 00:04:50,800 --> 00:04:54,720 Speaker 1: runner is at this moment, Kamala Harris. She is Princess 75 00:04:54,839 --> 00:04:59,160 Speaker 1: Diana to the Democratic Party. She is a hero and 76 00:04:59,200 --> 00:05:03,280 Speaker 1: a savior because perspective is everything. 77 00:05:04,839 --> 00:05:07,760 Speaker 2: Perspective is everything. 78 00:05:08,520 --> 00:05:12,880 Speaker 1: It's basically like an abusive relationship. You're willing to put 79 00:05:12,960 --> 00:05:15,679 Speaker 1: up with a lot more as long as the person 80 00:05:15,920 --> 00:05:18,159 Speaker 1: isn't trying to kill you. If you've ever been in 81 00:05:18,200 --> 00:05:22,880 Speaker 1: that situation, right, it's better than the alternative. Joe Biden 82 00:05:23,320 --> 00:05:27,000 Speaker 1: was worst case scenario for the Democratic Party. And now 83 00:05:27,120 --> 00:05:31,800 Speaker 1: Joe Biden has officially decided that he is going to 84 00:05:31,839 --> 00:05:34,880 Speaker 1: step aside. Now I didn't say resigned from the White House, 85 00:05:34,880 --> 00:05:37,039 Speaker 1: which is a question we should all be asking, and 86 00:05:37,080 --> 00:05:39,560 Speaker 1: we're going to deal with that coming up in a moment. 87 00:05:40,040 --> 00:05:42,080 Speaker 1: I'm also going to be joined by a dear friend 88 00:05:42,120 --> 00:05:46,159 Speaker 1: of mine, United States Center Ted Cruz is going to 89 00:05:46,320 --> 00:05:48,520 Speaker 1: join us in a moment to chat about. 90 00:05:48,240 --> 00:05:48,800 Speaker 2: All of this. 91 00:05:49,360 --> 00:05:52,080 Speaker 1: But before we even get to that, I want you 92 00:05:52,120 --> 00:05:56,440 Speaker 1: to hear how ABC News announced it to their audience 93 00:05:56,520 --> 00:05:59,000 Speaker 1: that Joe Biden is stepping aside. 94 00:05:59,120 --> 00:06:02,000 Speaker 3: Good afternoon, I'm Rachel Scott at ABC headquarters here in 95 00:06:02,040 --> 00:06:03,640 Speaker 3: New York. We are coming on the air at this 96 00:06:03,760 --> 00:06:07,320 Speaker 3: hour with breaking news. President Biden has just announced that 97 00:06:07,360 --> 00:06:10,400 Speaker 3: he is ending his reelection bid. Just moments ago, the 98 00:06:10,400 --> 00:06:13,120 Speaker 3: President tweeted out, it has been the greatest honor of 99 00:06:13,160 --> 00:06:15,680 Speaker 3: my life to serve as your president. Well, it has 100 00:06:15,720 --> 00:06:18,720 Speaker 3: been my intention to seek reelection. I believe it is 101 00:06:18,760 --> 00:06:21,080 Speaker 3: in the best interest of my party and the country 102 00:06:21,120 --> 00:06:23,640 Speaker 3: for me to stand down and to focus solely on 103 00:06:23,680 --> 00:06:27,240 Speaker 3: fulfilling my duties as president for the remainder of my term. 104 00:06:27,480 --> 00:06:29,279 Speaker 3: I will speak to the nation later this week in 105 00:06:29,320 --> 00:06:30,320 Speaker 3: more detail. 106 00:06:29,960 --> 00:06:30,760 Speaker 2: About my decision. 107 00:06:31,360 --> 00:06:34,080 Speaker 3: There are still so many questions yet to be decided, 108 00:06:34,320 --> 00:06:36,719 Speaker 3: and so little time before those questions need to be 109 00:06:36,720 --> 00:06:39,080 Speaker 3: figured out. So I want to go right away to 110 00:06:39,120 --> 00:06:42,400 Speaker 3: our chief Washington correspondent, John Carl John. We are just 111 00:06:42,800 --> 00:06:46,440 Speaker 3: one hundred days out from the November election. Pressure was 112 00:06:46,440 --> 00:06:48,720 Speaker 3: building on the president to step aside. Now he is 113 00:06:48,720 --> 00:06:51,680 Speaker 3: announcing that he has Rachel. 114 00:06:51,839 --> 00:06:55,640 Speaker 4: It's an extraordinary moment in American history. This is the 115 00:06:55,680 --> 00:06:59,920 Speaker 4: first time we have seen a sitting president bow out 116 00:07:00,279 --> 00:07:04,080 Speaker 4: of re election since Lyndon Van Johnson in nineteen sixty eight. 117 00:07:04,760 --> 00:07:09,320 Speaker 4: And it comes unlike Johnson's move, which happened in January 118 00:07:09,360 --> 00:07:11,960 Speaker 4: of that year. It comes after he has already gone 119 00:07:12,040 --> 00:07:15,760 Speaker 4: through a primary process, after he has already effectively won 120 00:07:16,200 --> 00:07:20,520 Speaker 4: the Democratic nomination, which now raises the huge questions, as 121 00:07:20,560 --> 00:07:24,320 Speaker 4: you allude to, of what happens next. In his letter 122 00:07:24,400 --> 00:07:30,880 Speaker 4: announcing this extraordinary decision, he mentions his Vice President Kamala Harris. 123 00:07:31,000 --> 00:07:33,280 Speaker 4: He says, I want to thank my Vice President Kamala 124 00:07:33,320 --> 00:07:37,120 Speaker 4: Harris for her extraord for being an extraordinary partner. But 125 00:07:37,200 --> 00:07:41,640 Speaker 4: he makes no reference about what he will do in 126 00:07:41,720 --> 00:07:44,640 Speaker 4: terms of an endorsement. Will he endorse, will he not endorse, 127 00:07:44,720 --> 00:07:48,480 Speaker 4: Will there be an open process what happens next? He 128 00:07:48,520 --> 00:07:50,600 Speaker 4: says he will talk to the nation in the coming 129 00:07:50,680 --> 00:07:54,080 Speaker 4: days more about his decision. But now the Democrats have 130 00:07:54,120 --> 00:07:58,360 Speaker 4: to figure out what happens. Who replaces Joe Biden as 131 00:07:58,360 --> 00:07:59,800 Speaker 4: the Democratic candidate's a president. 132 00:08:01,560 --> 00:08:05,440 Speaker 1: You listen to how they talk about this, and they 133 00:08:05,480 --> 00:08:13,280 Speaker 1: are not only elated, but they are estatic for the future. 134 00:08:13,400 --> 00:08:16,520 Speaker 1: And they don't even care who the future is. They 135 00:08:16,520 --> 00:08:20,160 Speaker 1: don't know who it's going to be. I don't know 136 00:08:20,200 --> 00:08:22,200 Speaker 1: if it's going to be Kamala's. She's the front runner. 137 00:08:22,240 --> 00:08:23,920 Speaker 1: That doesn't mean it's gonna happen, but it's going to 138 00:08:24,000 --> 00:08:29,520 Speaker 1: be an all out war. Now, let's talk for just 139 00:08:29,600 --> 00:08:33,480 Speaker 1: a second about Kamala Harris. Kamala Harris is now the 140 00:08:33,480 --> 00:08:36,320 Speaker 1: greatest thing the Democratic Party's ever seen, even though she's 141 00:08:36,440 --> 00:08:38,440 Speaker 1: a woman that dropped out of the president's race and 142 00:08:38,520 --> 00:08:41,240 Speaker 1: everyone hated her and she was pulling it like three percent. 143 00:08:41,720 --> 00:08:45,079 Speaker 1: But when your ship is sinking, to use that analogy again, 144 00:08:45,559 --> 00:08:48,520 Speaker 1: you'll jump on any lifeboat, any rubber dinghy, It doesn't 145 00:08:48,559 --> 00:08:51,040 Speaker 1: matter what it is, because that is your savior in 146 00:08:51,160 --> 00:08:55,520 Speaker 1: that moment. This is the best case scenario for Kamala Harris. 147 00:08:55,720 --> 00:08:57,640 Speaker 1: Let me also tell you Kamala Harris was not like 148 00:08:57,679 --> 00:09:01,200 Speaker 1: by the Democratic Party either and the Democratic elite, but 149 00:09:01,320 --> 00:09:04,480 Speaker 1: right now she is the little lifeboat that showed up. 150 00:09:04,520 --> 00:09:07,000 Speaker 1: It may be ugly, it may have a bad track 151 00:09:07,040 --> 00:09:09,520 Speaker 1: record of the engine going out, but you're still gonna 152 00:09:09,520 --> 00:09:11,679 Speaker 1: get on it because it looks. 153 00:09:11,440 --> 00:09:13,840 Speaker 2: Like a life boat that's going to save your life. 154 00:09:14,679 --> 00:09:17,240 Speaker 1: The other problem is the media is going to give 155 00:09:17,280 --> 00:09:22,400 Speaker 1: an inkind donation of what is the equivalent of billions 156 00:09:22,440 --> 00:09:27,480 Speaker 1: of dollars in ad buys, okay, billions of dollars in 157 00:09:27,520 --> 00:09:32,120 Speaker 1: ad bys to whoever gets the nomination, and they're gonna 158 00:09:32,160 --> 00:09:36,960 Speaker 1: tell you that it is an amazing candidate whoever the 159 00:09:37,000 --> 00:09:39,960 Speaker 1: Democrats pick, and for the next thirty days. You also 160 00:09:39,960 --> 00:09:42,440 Speaker 1: have to understand about the disadvantage of Trump campaign has 161 00:09:42,520 --> 00:09:47,200 Speaker 1: Trump and trumping Jadie Vance? How do you campaign like? 162 00:09:47,280 --> 00:09:49,520 Speaker 1: Who do you campaign against? Do you spend your time 163 00:09:49,559 --> 00:09:53,240 Speaker 1: campaigning against you know, Michelle Obama? Do you spend your 164 00:09:53,280 --> 00:09:58,240 Speaker 1: time campaigning against Gavin Newsom? Do you spend your time 165 00:09:58,679 --> 00:10:02,679 Speaker 1: campaigning against Kamala Harris? Or do you spend your time 166 00:10:02,720 --> 00:10:07,600 Speaker 1: campaigning against the Democratic Party and Joe Biden's record in general? Now, 167 00:10:07,640 --> 00:10:10,000 Speaker 1: do I think that if it is Kamala Harris, there's 168 00:10:10,000 --> 00:10:12,559 Speaker 1: ways that we can beat her and Trump can win. Yes, 169 00:10:12,880 --> 00:10:15,840 Speaker 1: But I don't want you to be overconfident tonight because 170 00:10:16,000 --> 00:10:19,640 Speaker 1: coming out of Milwaukee. Guess what, no one's talking about 171 00:10:19,679 --> 00:10:22,760 Speaker 1: that now, are they? The timing of this to announce 172 00:10:22,800 --> 00:10:25,920 Speaker 1: this on Sunday, the day after the convention and suck 173 00:10:25,960 --> 00:10:28,960 Speaker 1: out all the oxygen ow of the room was a 174 00:10:29,120 --> 00:10:34,280 Speaker 1: brilliant political move by the Democratic Party. The polls don't matter, 175 00:10:34,360 --> 00:10:37,080 Speaker 1: that bump you normally get out of a convention doesn't matter. Hell, 176 00:10:37,760 --> 00:10:42,200 Speaker 1: Donald Trump and the assassination attempt has now old news 177 00:10:43,280 --> 00:10:47,839 Speaker 1: a week after it happened. That's how big and catastrophic 178 00:10:48,080 --> 00:10:51,920 Speaker 1: this news story is. And the Democrats are going to 179 00:10:52,000 --> 00:10:55,040 Speaker 1: ride this way for thirty days. This convention the Democrats 180 00:10:55,120 --> 00:10:58,360 Speaker 1: going to have is a thirty day convention. Now every 181 00:10:58,480 --> 00:11:01,480 Speaker 1: day it's going to be this story. Now, let me 182 00:11:01,520 --> 00:11:05,400 Speaker 1: also remind you of this. Kamala Harris is human. Kama Harris. 183 00:11:05,440 --> 00:11:08,280 Speaker 1: Maybe she gets the nomination. Okay, maybe it's really hers. 184 00:11:08,320 --> 00:11:11,200 Speaker 1: Maybe she gets it and she's able to be the 185 00:11:11,320 --> 00:11:14,600 Speaker 1: easy choice that people call us behind. Let's start with 186 00:11:14,640 --> 00:11:20,360 Speaker 1: that idea. Can we beat a Kamala Harris? I believe 187 00:11:20,360 --> 00:11:22,880 Speaker 1: we can. Why because she said a lot of really 188 00:11:22,880 --> 00:11:26,360 Speaker 1: stupid things in the past. Remember, Kamala Harris is not 189 00:11:26,559 --> 00:11:28,080 Speaker 1: that much better than Joe Biden. 190 00:11:28,280 --> 00:11:30,040 Speaker 2: Listen is today. 191 00:11:31,120 --> 00:11:37,400 Speaker 5: And yesterday was today, yesterday, tomorrow will be today tomorrow. 192 00:11:38,920 --> 00:11:43,880 Speaker 5: So live today, so the future today will be as 193 00:11:44,000 --> 00:11:49,319 Speaker 5: the past today as it is tomorrow. 194 00:11:50,679 --> 00:11:51,040 Speaker 4: Today. 195 00:11:52,160 --> 00:11:55,640 Speaker 1: That's Kamala Harris, Folks, that is the Kamala Harris that 196 00:11:55,640 --> 00:11:59,000 Speaker 1: we will be running against. That is Kamala Harris giving 197 00:11:59,040 --> 00:12:03,319 Speaker 1: an actual speed speech. That is not a joke. If 198 00:12:03,320 --> 00:12:05,880 Speaker 1: you're laughing right now, you should be laughing because that's 199 00:12:05,880 --> 00:12:08,120 Speaker 1: the Vice President United's America. That's how bad of a 200 00:12:08,160 --> 00:12:12,440 Speaker 1: candidate she is when we go after her one on one. 201 00:12:13,080 --> 00:12:14,760 Speaker 1: I'm gonna play that again, and I want you to 202 00:12:14,800 --> 00:12:17,480 Speaker 1: try to follow along with Kamala Harris. This is Kamala 203 00:12:17,480 --> 00:12:19,199 Speaker 1: Harris at a public speech. 204 00:12:19,640 --> 00:12:26,920 Speaker 5: Today was today, yesterday, Tomorrow will be today tomorrow. So 205 00:12:27,080 --> 00:12:32,079 Speaker 5: live today, so the future today will be as the 206 00:12:32,160 --> 00:12:37,280 Speaker 5: past today as it is tomorrow. 207 00:12:39,200 --> 00:12:40,840 Speaker 2: That's Kamala Harris. 208 00:12:41,920 --> 00:12:45,640 Speaker 1: I'm playing that for you to remind you of exactly 209 00:12:45,840 --> 00:12:48,640 Speaker 1: who Kamala Harris actually is. 210 00:12:49,360 --> 00:12:52,200 Speaker 2: Do I believe we can beat Kamala Harris? Yes I do. 211 00:12:52,200 --> 00:12:55,400 Speaker 1: Do I believe that Donald Trump can beat her on 212 00:12:55,440 --> 00:12:58,120 Speaker 1: the debate stage, Yes I do. Do I believe that 213 00:12:58,160 --> 00:13:00,200 Speaker 1: we can still win this race, yes, but do not 214 00:13:00,280 --> 00:13:04,480 Speaker 1: get overconfident because it is a dead heat right now. 215 00:13:05,080 --> 00:13:08,720 Speaker 1: This is a dead heat. It is not going to change. 216 00:13:08,760 --> 00:13:11,240 Speaker 1: It is a dead heat. And there are other, by 217 00:13:11,280 --> 00:13:16,320 Speaker 1: the way, very smart Democrats that are looking at this. 218 00:13:16,480 --> 00:13:20,880 Speaker 1: Let me give you an example, all right, Josh Shapiro. 219 00:13:21,600 --> 00:13:23,600 Speaker 2: Remember that name. I'm going to say it again. It's 220 00:13:23,600 --> 00:13:25,760 Speaker 2: not Ben Shapiro, It's Josh Shapiro. 221 00:13:25,800 --> 00:13:27,839 Speaker 1: He's a dad to four kids, married to his high 222 00:13:27,880 --> 00:13:32,320 Speaker 1: school sweetheart, and the governor of Pennsylvania and a moderate, 223 00:13:32,480 --> 00:13:35,760 Speaker 1: not a Waco AOC extremists. 224 00:13:37,280 --> 00:13:39,520 Speaker 2: This is what he tweeted out earlier. 225 00:13:40,400 --> 00:13:43,520 Speaker 1: The contrast in this race could not be clear, and 226 00:13:43,559 --> 00:13:46,439 Speaker 1: the road to victory in November runs right through Pennsylvania, 227 00:13:46,920 --> 00:13:50,360 Speaker 1: where this collective work began. I will do everything I 228 00:13:50,440 --> 00:13:53,360 Speaker 1: can to help elect Kamala Harris as the forty seventh 229 00:13:53,440 --> 00:13:57,080 Speaker 1: President of the United States of America. The governor then 230 00:13:57,120 --> 00:13:59,560 Speaker 1: put out a larger statement, saying, when our founders came 231 00:13:59,600 --> 00:14:01,880 Speaker 1: together in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, now let me just 232 00:14:01,960 --> 00:14:03,840 Speaker 1: hit paulse and go. If you want to know what 233 00:14:03,840 --> 00:14:06,040 Speaker 1: it sounds like to do a deal, this is what 234 00:14:06,080 --> 00:14:07,800 Speaker 1: a guy sounds like. That may have just had a 235 00:14:07,880 --> 00:14:10,200 Speaker 1: deal with Kamala Harris to be picked as vice president 236 00:14:10,280 --> 00:14:14,880 Speaker 1: and not actually challenge her at the convention. African American woman, 237 00:14:14,960 --> 00:14:17,200 Speaker 1: he's a really smart guy to run with her, a 238 00:14:17,240 --> 00:14:20,920 Speaker 1: guy that understands how it works in Washington, how to 239 00:14:20,960 --> 00:14:24,480 Speaker 1: get things done, a guy that a state you desperately need, 240 00:14:24,520 --> 00:14:27,960 Speaker 1: because if you win Pennsylvania, where he's very popular as 241 00:14:28,000 --> 00:14:31,080 Speaker 1: the governor, then there's a very good chance you're going 242 00:14:31,160 --> 00:14:34,040 Speaker 1: to win the presidential election if you're a Democrat. If 243 00:14:34,040 --> 00:14:37,840 Speaker 1: you lose Pennsylvania, the math doesn't make sense, and it 244 00:14:37,880 --> 00:14:41,360 Speaker 1: would be virtually impossible to win the presidency if you 245 00:14:41,480 --> 00:14:43,040 Speaker 1: lose Pennsylvania. 246 00:14:43,120 --> 00:14:44,840 Speaker 2: So if you look at this. 247 00:14:44,960 --> 00:14:49,720 Speaker 1: Statement from Shapiro, the governor, he's saying, Hey, I'm going 248 00:14:49,800 --> 00:14:52,160 Speaker 1: to support who you know, Kama Harris is the forty 249 00:14:52,160 --> 00:14:54,440 Speaker 1: seventh president at America. It sounds like there may have 250 00:14:54,480 --> 00:14:56,120 Speaker 1: already been a deal that's been done. So let me 251 00:14:56,160 --> 00:14:58,720 Speaker 1: read you a statement. When our founders came together in 252 00:14:58,760 --> 00:15:02,280 Speaker 1: the Commonwealth of Pensylvania to declare our independence and establish 253 00:15:02,360 --> 00:15:05,360 Speaker 1: our democracy, they did so with a clear understanding that 254 00:15:05,400 --> 00:15:08,760 Speaker 1: we will only succeed if we were united. In the 255 00:15:08,800 --> 00:15:11,760 Speaker 1: two hundred and forty eight years since, our country and 256 00:15:11,760 --> 00:15:15,000 Speaker 1: our people have been tested, but the American spirit has 257 00:15:15,200 --> 00:15:20,440 Speaker 1: always triumphed despite our individual differences. When our safety was threatened, 258 00:15:20,440 --> 00:15:24,040 Speaker 1: when our values and freedoms were attacked, when the stakes 259 00:15:24,080 --> 00:15:27,560 Speaker 1: were high, Americans have found ways to come together and 260 00:15:27,680 --> 00:15:32,160 Speaker 1: unite behind common cause and common purpose. That's the lesson 261 00:15:32,200 --> 00:15:36,160 Speaker 1: of our founders who gathered in Pennsylvania two and a 262 00:15:36,200 --> 00:15:39,480 Speaker 1: half centuries ago, and it's the lessons our party must 263 00:15:39,560 --> 00:15:43,560 Speaker 1: learn for now from now. I've known Harris for nearly 264 00:15:43,560 --> 00:15:48,120 Speaker 1: two decades. We've both been prosecutors. We both stood up 265 00:15:48,160 --> 00:15:49,720 Speaker 1: for the rule of law. That's a lie. 266 00:15:50,040 --> 00:15:52,400 Speaker 2: We both fought for the people and delivered results. It's 267 00:15:52,440 --> 00:15:53,040 Speaker 2: also live. 268 00:15:53,400 --> 00:15:56,280 Speaker 1: Come my heirs, the patriot worthy of our support, and 269 00:15:57,520 --> 00:16:00,640 Speaker 1: she will continue the work of generations of an Americans 270 00:16:01,160 --> 00:16:04,600 Speaker 1: who came before us to protect our union, protect our democracy, 271 00:16:04,600 --> 00:16:07,760 Speaker 1: and advance real freedom. She has served the country honorably 272 00:16:07,960 --> 00:16:11,560 Speaker 1: as vice president, and she is ready to be president. 273 00:16:12,320 --> 00:16:14,440 Speaker 1: The best path forward for the Democratic Party is to 274 00:16:14,520 --> 00:16:20,600 Speaker 1: quickly unite behind Harris and refocus on winning the presidency. 275 00:16:21,000 --> 00:16:23,840 Speaker 1: The contrast to this race could not be clearer, and 276 00:16:23,880 --> 00:16:28,280 Speaker 1: the road to victory November runs through Pennsylvania, where the 277 00:16:28,320 --> 00:16:29,440 Speaker 1: collective work began. 278 00:16:31,360 --> 00:16:32,640 Speaker 2: I will do everything I can. 279 00:16:32,560 --> 00:16:35,360 Speaker 1: To help elect Kamala Harris, the forty seventh President of 280 00:16:35,360 --> 00:16:38,600 Speaker 1: the United States, signed Governor Shapiro. If you want to 281 00:16:38,600 --> 00:16:40,360 Speaker 1: know who I think the front runner is right now 282 00:16:40,360 --> 00:16:43,000 Speaker 1: to be the governor, I should say to be the 283 00:16:43,080 --> 00:16:47,680 Speaker 1: vice president, it is Shapiro of Pennsylvania. I think it's 284 00:16:47,800 --> 00:16:50,840 Speaker 1: very clear deals are getting done right now. Like you 285 00:16:51,240 --> 00:16:58,560 Speaker 1: wouldn't believe, Joe Biden has dropped out of the presidential race. 286 00:16:59,120 --> 00:17:01,600 Speaker 1: The part that really makes me laugh is, of course 287 00:17:01,720 --> 00:17:05,400 Speaker 1: Joe Biden did this on National ice Cream Day. 288 00:17:05,960 --> 00:17:08,080 Speaker 2: You couldn't make it more fitting than that. 289 00:17:09,240 --> 00:17:13,840 Speaker 1: You do it on National ice Cream Day, Joe Biden, 290 00:17:13,840 --> 00:17:14,399 Speaker 1: they ask her to. 291 00:17:14,400 --> 00:17:15,560 Speaker 2: Give me an ice cream cone. I'm out. 292 00:17:15,600 --> 00:17:17,240 Speaker 1: Maybe that's how they bribed him to do it. Maybe 293 00:17:17,240 --> 00:17:20,560 Speaker 1: that was Kamala's plan all along. Let me also just 294 00:17:20,640 --> 00:17:24,639 Speaker 1: remind you of Kamala Harris. Okay, this is a woman 295 00:17:24,960 --> 00:17:26,240 Speaker 1: that was the border czar. 296 00:17:27,119 --> 00:17:27,680 Speaker 2: She is the. 297 00:17:27,720 --> 00:17:33,879 Speaker 1: Presumptive Democratic nominee. So when she goes on TV and 298 00:17:33,960 --> 00:17:38,520 Speaker 1: she talks about the border, here's what she says about 299 00:17:38,560 --> 00:17:39,560 Speaker 1: the border order. 300 00:17:39,600 --> 00:17:42,359 Speaker 6: We've been to the border so this whole, this whole, 301 00:17:42,600 --> 00:17:45,280 Speaker 6: this whole thing about the border. We've been to the border. 302 00:17:45,680 --> 00:17:47,800 Speaker 6: We've been to the border. You haven't been to the border, 303 00:17:48,880 --> 00:17:51,720 Speaker 6: and I haven't been to Europe. And I mean, I 304 00:17:51,840 --> 00:17:54,240 Speaker 6: don't I don't understand the point that you're making. 305 00:17:54,480 --> 00:17:54,720 Speaker 2: Order. 306 00:17:54,760 --> 00:17:55,800 Speaker 6: We've been to the border. 307 00:17:55,960 --> 00:18:01,000 Speaker 1: It's amazing. I don't understand the point you're making. This 308 00:18:01,080 --> 00:18:02,960 Speaker 1: is the woman she was the borders are and she 309 00:18:03,000 --> 00:18:04,879 Speaker 1: says we've been to the border. Quote, we've been to 310 00:18:04,960 --> 00:18:09,280 Speaker 1: the border. And then Holt says you haven't been to 311 00:18:09,320 --> 00:18:13,639 Speaker 1: the border. And then she says, I haven't been to 312 00:18:13,760 --> 00:18:16,360 Speaker 1: Europe either. What's your point? You just said you went 313 00:18:16,400 --> 00:18:20,439 Speaker 1: to the border, ma'am. You just lied to the American people. 314 00:18:22,560 --> 00:18:25,680 Speaker 1: You just told the American people that you had been 315 00:18:25,720 --> 00:18:28,440 Speaker 1: to the border when you hadn't, and Lester Holtz says 316 00:18:29,000 --> 00:18:31,119 Speaker 1: you haven't been to the border. Now, this is a 317 00:18:31,160 --> 00:18:36,040 Speaker 1: woman that believes in open borders. This is a woman 318 00:18:36,080 --> 00:18:38,879 Speaker 1: that cannot do her job. This is a woman that 319 00:18:39,000 --> 00:18:42,320 Speaker 1: is a failure as much as he is a failure. 320 00:18:43,200 --> 00:18:46,120 Speaker 1: Let me also remind you what Vice President Harris had 321 00:18:46,160 --> 00:18:49,040 Speaker 1: to say about Ukraine and the foreign policy. So let's 322 00:18:49,040 --> 00:18:51,960 Speaker 1: say you just say that was her having a bad day. Okay, 323 00:18:52,040 --> 00:18:53,480 Speaker 1: let's go with that for a second. 324 00:18:54,160 --> 00:18:59,679 Speaker 6: Ukraine is a country in Europe. It exists next to 325 00:19:00,119 --> 00:19:03,760 Speaker 6: another country called Russia. Russia is a bigger country. Russia 326 00:19:03,800 --> 00:19:07,440 Speaker 6: is a powerful country. Russia decided to invade a smaller 327 00:19:07,440 --> 00:19:11,080 Speaker 6: country called Ukraine. So basically that's wrong. 328 00:19:12,720 --> 00:19:21,320 Speaker 1: So basically that's wrong. That's Vice President Harris on her 329 00:19:21,359 --> 00:19:24,720 Speaker 1: analysis of Hey, let me give you some great analysis here. 330 00:19:25,240 --> 00:19:27,400 Speaker 2: Ukraine is a country in Europe. 331 00:19:28,320 --> 00:19:32,280 Speaker 1: It exists next to another country called Russia. Russia is 332 00:19:32,280 --> 00:19:36,600 Speaker 1: a bigger country. I'm quoting verbatim. Russia is a powerful country. 333 00:19:37,040 --> 00:19:40,000 Speaker 1: Russia decided to invade a smaller country called Ukraine. 334 00:19:40,040 --> 00:19:43,080 Speaker 2: So basically that's wrong. Well, I am so glad. 335 00:19:45,000 --> 00:19:48,840 Speaker 1: I am so glad that she clarified that for all 336 00:19:48,880 --> 00:19:53,320 Speaker 1: of us that country in Europe. Let me give you 337 00:19:53,320 --> 00:19:57,240 Speaker 1: a flashback, by the way, about border security, Kama Harris 338 00:19:57,280 --> 00:20:00,960 Speaker 1: raised her hand in favor of decriminalizing a legal border 339 00:20:01,080 --> 00:20:04,240 Speaker 1: crossings when she was on the debate stage. 340 00:20:04,480 --> 00:20:07,639 Speaker 7: What was the question We had a very spirited debate 341 00:20:07,680 --> 00:20:10,359 Speaker 7: on this stage last night on the topic of decriminalization 342 00:20:10,800 --> 00:20:13,560 Speaker 7: of the border. If you'd be so kind, raise your 343 00:20:13,600 --> 00:20:14,600 Speaker 7: hand if you think. 344 00:20:14,400 --> 00:20:16,640 Speaker 2: It should be a civil offense rather. 345 00:20:16,480 --> 00:20:21,280 Speaker 7: Than a crime to cross the border without documentation, Can 346 00:20:21,280 --> 00:20:23,080 Speaker 7: we keep the hands up so we could see them. 347 00:20:24,040 --> 00:20:27,439 Speaker 1: Kama Harris her hand raised high in the air with 348 00:20:27,920 --> 00:20:31,600 Speaker 1: Joe Biden. So if you think that Kama Harris is, 349 00:20:32,080 --> 00:20:34,520 Speaker 1: you know, and they're gonna I'm telling you, they're going 350 00:20:34,600 --> 00:20:37,080 Speaker 1: to try to turn her into a mix between Mother 351 00:20:37,200 --> 00:20:43,480 Speaker 1: Teresa and Princess Die. If she gets it, they'll give 352 00:20:43,480 --> 00:20:48,080 Speaker 1: her two billion three billion in free advertising. This is 353 00:20:48,320 --> 00:20:51,320 Speaker 1: going to be a Hey, the ship you were on 354 00:20:51,520 --> 00:20:53,960 Speaker 1: was sinking. It was the Titanic, and I got a dinghy. 355 00:20:54,040 --> 00:20:56,560 Speaker 1: That sucks, but at least it's better than what you 356 00:20:56,680 --> 00:21:01,560 Speaker 1: had before. That's what this is going to be. I 357 00:21:01,600 --> 00:21:07,760 Speaker 1: also believe now that this is also an issue of 358 00:21:07,800 --> 00:21:12,240 Speaker 1: the Democratic Party just being so desperate. You're in the 359 00:21:12,280 --> 00:21:14,359 Speaker 1: middle of the desert. You need water, you need food. 360 00:21:14,400 --> 00:21:16,440 Speaker 1: You'll take it from anyone, right, You'll take it from 361 00:21:16,440 --> 00:21:17,000 Speaker 1: the devil. 362 00:21:18,480 --> 00:21:21,399 Speaker 2: And this is their devil. 363 00:21:22,800 --> 00:21:25,000 Speaker 1: This is the deal they were willing to make with 364 00:21:25,080 --> 00:21:28,600 Speaker 1: the devil to get rid of Joe Biden. Nobody, I 365 00:21:28,600 --> 00:21:32,440 Speaker 1: will say it again, likes Kamala Harris. She cannot keep 366 00:21:32,440 --> 00:21:36,359 Speaker 1: a staff. She cannot keep people in and around her 367 00:21:36,359 --> 00:21:40,359 Speaker 1: staff happy. They're quitting on her all the time. She 368 00:21:40,520 --> 00:21:47,680 Speaker 1: is a disaster. Her staff knows that she is a disaster. 369 00:21:49,040 --> 00:21:54,639 Speaker 1: And Kamala Harris is an individual that slid into this 370 00:21:54,800 --> 00:21:56,840 Speaker 1: position for one reason, and one reason only. 371 00:21:56,960 --> 00:21:58,440 Speaker 2: Joe Biden had a race problem. 372 00:21:59,240 --> 00:22:03,280 Speaker 1: You may not remember that Joe Biden had a major 373 00:22:03,800 --> 00:22:08,359 Speaker 1: race problem. Joining me now to talk about all of 374 00:22:08,400 --> 00:22:09,360 Speaker 1: this is a dear. 375 00:22:09,200 --> 00:22:09,800 Speaker 2: Friend of mine. 376 00:22:10,640 --> 00:22:14,040 Speaker 1: I co host a podcasts with him, Verdict with Ted Cruz. 377 00:22:14,600 --> 00:22:18,439 Speaker 1: Senator Ted Cruz joins me now, Senator. We were just 378 00:22:18,560 --> 00:22:22,560 Speaker 1: playing some clips of some of Kamala's most brilliant moments 379 00:22:22,560 --> 00:22:25,560 Speaker 1: in life. One of them you tweeted out was her 380 00:22:25,680 --> 00:22:27,760 Speaker 1: talking about the border and she's like, we've been to 381 00:22:27,800 --> 00:22:28,160 Speaker 1: the border. 382 00:22:28,160 --> 00:22:29,440 Speaker 2: We've been the border. No you haven't. 383 00:22:29,480 --> 00:22:32,440 Speaker 1: Well I haven't been to Europe either, but you know, haha, 384 00:22:32,520 --> 00:22:33,120 Speaker 1: laugh laugh. 385 00:22:33,960 --> 00:22:35,840 Speaker 2: This is a person, however. 386 00:22:35,480 --> 00:22:37,879 Speaker 1: That the Democratic Party is going to try to sell 387 00:22:38,040 --> 00:22:41,600 Speaker 1: is the greatest thing we've ever seen in a savior. 388 00:22:42,359 --> 00:22:43,560 Speaker 2: Your reaction to this. 389 00:22:43,560 --> 00:22:48,520 Speaker 8: News, well, the Democrats are gathering around her, at least 390 00:22:48,600 --> 00:22:52,360 Speaker 8: Joe Biden is. The Clintons are, and I think she's 391 00:22:52,400 --> 00:22:54,639 Speaker 8: gonna end up being their nominee. I think the only 392 00:22:54,720 --> 00:22:58,080 Speaker 8: person who could possibly push her aside as Michelle Obama, 393 00:22:58,119 --> 00:23:01,520 Speaker 8: and at least right now, there appears to be no 394 00:23:01,680 --> 00:23:03,040 Speaker 8: effort on her part to do that. 395 00:23:03,720 --> 00:23:06,160 Speaker 2: Let's talk about how we got to this point. 396 00:23:06,520 --> 00:23:10,120 Speaker 1: You predicted on our show, and if you haven't ever 397 00:23:10,200 --> 00:23:12,679 Speaker 1: listened to it, downloaded at Verdict with Ted Cruz wherever 398 00:23:12,720 --> 00:23:17,080 Speaker 1: you get your podcasts ten months ago that Joe Biden 399 00:23:17,280 --> 00:23:21,200 Speaker 1: would not in fact be the nominee. 400 00:23:20,760 --> 00:23:23,640 Speaker 2: At the end of the day. You believed it. 401 00:23:23,680 --> 00:23:28,800 Speaker 8: Then, why, well, it was clear that his metal capacity 402 00:23:28,880 --> 00:23:33,359 Speaker 8: had diminished powerfully. It was clear every day it was 403 00:23:33,400 --> 00:23:35,560 Speaker 8: getting worse, and I didn't believe he was going to 404 00:23:35,600 --> 00:23:37,600 Speaker 8: be able to go to the distance. I also thought 405 00:23:38,040 --> 00:23:40,920 Speaker 8: that that Democrats were getting more and more nervous, and 406 00:23:42,040 --> 00:23:45,520 Speaker 8: the canary in the coal mine was you started seeing 407 00:23:45,600 --> 00:23:49,600 Speaker 8: the stakeholders of the Democrat Party floating attacks on him, 408 00:23:49,600 --> 00:23:52,639 Speaker 8: and in particularly the corporate media. Look the corporate media today, 409 00:23:53,200 --> 00:23:56,000 Speaker 8: they are functionally part of the Democrat Party. They are 410 00:23:56,000 --> 00:23:58,520 Speaker 8: the left wing of the Democrat Party. And so when 411 00:23:58,560 --> 00:24:02,119 Speaker 8: you and I on the podcast ten months ago laid 412 00:24:02,119 --> 00:24:05,600 Speaker 8: out we did not entire podcast where I predicted that 413 00:24:05,760 --> 00:24:10,800 Speaker 8: Joe Biden would withdraw from the ballot sometime around the 414 00:24:10,800 --> 00:24:14,800 Speaker 8: Democrat convention sometime this summer. We predicted that ten months ago, 415 00:24:15,240 --> 00:24:18,760 Speaker 8: and I got to say the reaction when we laid 416 00:24:18,760 --> 00:24:21,840 Speaker 8: out that prediction as the corporate media ridiculed you and 417 00:24:21,880 --> 00:24:26,199 Speaker 8: me as as moon back conspiracy theorists. They said it was, 418 00:24:26,320 --> 00:24:30,399 Speaker 8: you know, tinfoil hat type stuff, and it played out 419 00:24:30,480 --> 00:24:33,119 Speaker 8: exactly as we predicted. I'll point out we made the 420 00:24:33,160 --> 00:24:37,320 Speaker 8: prediction again the night of the presidential debate between Trump 421 00:24:37,359 --> 00:24:39,480 Speaker 8: and Biden, and that night you and I did a 422 00:24:39,520 --> 00:24:43,280 Speaker 8: podcast immediately when the debate was over. We recorded the 423 00:24:43,320 --> 00:24:48,720 Speaker 8: podcast and I said that night, this I believe will 424 00:24:48,760 --> 00:24:53,080 Speaker 8: go down in history as the most consequential presidential debate 425 00:24:53,600 --> 00:24:56,159 Speaker 8: in the history of our country. Why and what I 426 00:24:56,240 --> 00:24:59,000 Speaker 8: predicted the night of the debate is this debate will 427 00:24:59,040 --> 00:25:01,560 Speaker 8: remove Joe Biden and from the ballot. He will not 428 00:25:01,720 --> 00:25:04,760 Speaker 8: be on the ballot in November because his performance was 429 00:25:04,800 --> 00:25:10,480 Speaker 8: so disastrously bad that the Democrats and the corporate media, 430 00:25:10,520 --> 00:25:14,119 Speaker 8: which is, as I said, completely interwoven into the Democrat Party, 431 00:25:14,720 --> 00:25:19,160 Speaker 8: were freaking out. And that night I predicted within three 432 00:25:19,240 --> 00:25:22,639 Speaker 8: weeks they would drive Joe Biden off the ballot. 433 00:25:22,680 --> 00:25:23,720 Speaker 2: Well, today they've done, so. 434 00:25:24,400 --> 00:25:28,320 Speaker 1: Let's talk about how that's unfolded. And it was pretty surreal. 435 00:25:29,040 --> 00:25:33,000 Speaker 1: You first had this letter come out from Joe Biden saying, hey, 436 00:25:33,160 --> 00:25:36,440 Speaker 1: I'm gonna drop out of this presdential race, and did 437 00:25:36,560 --> 00:25:41,399 Speaker 1: not if you read that letter endorse Kamala Harris, correct. 438 00:25:41,480 --> 00:25:45,520 Speaker 1: Then you had a statement come out later on social 439 00:25:45,560 --> 00:25:50,120 Speaker 1: media that he was endorsing Kamala Harris. Why the delay 440 00:25:50,200 --> 00:25:53,040 Speaker 1: there and was it because he needed more guarantees before 441 00:25:53,080 --> 00:25:53,880 Speaker 1: he would endorse. 442 00:25:54,359 --> 00:25:56,399 Speaker 8: Well, look, as you know, you and I did an 443 00:25:56,600 --> 00:26:00,080 Speaker 8: entire emergency podcast today that is just out that a 444 00:26:00,320 --> 00:26:02,560 Speaker 8: deep dive into this question. And so if you want 445 00:26:02,600 --> 00:26:05,679 Speaker 8: to go deep into this download Verdict with Ted Cruz, 446 00:26:05,720 --> 00:26:08,320 Speaker 8: you can. You can get it right now and get 447 00:26:08,320 --> 00:26:12,200 Speaker 8: those questions answered at real death. But listen, there was 448 00:26:12,240 --> 00:26:16,040 Speaker 8: a fairly short window. His first statement, he thanked Kamala Harris, 449 00:26:16,840 --> 00:26:19,800 Speaker 8: but he didn't endorse her. And what I believed happened 450 00:26:20,040 --> 00:26:22,439 Speaker 8: is that the powers that be in the Democrat Party 451 00:26:22,800 --> 00:26:26,440 Speaker 8: put enormous pressure on him, pounded the living daylights out 452 00:26:26,480 --> 00:26:28,600 Speaker 8: of him, and he quickly put out a tweet saying 453 00:26:28,640 --> 00:26:32,480 Speaker 8: I endorse her. I think it listen, the Democrat Party 454 00:26:32,560 --> 00:26:36,520 Speaker 8: is a command and control party. They follow orders. And 455 00:26:36,600 --> 00:26:40,080 Speaker 8: so what we saw happening, and it began with the debate, 456 00:26:40,960 --> 00:26:44,520 Speaker 8: we saw one after another after another major player in 457 00:26:44,560 --> 00:26:48,080 Speaker 8: the Democrat Party come out against Joe Biden. So we 458 00:26:48,119 --> 00:26:52,720 Speaker 8: saw we saw Nancy Pelosi, we saw Chuck Schumer, we 459 00:26:52,800 --> 00:26:56,880 Speaker 8: saw Hakeem Jeffries, we saw senator after senator. We saw 460 00:26:57,080 --> 00:27:02,000 Speaker 8: lots of Republican congressmen or Democrat congressman rather coming out 461 00:27:02,119 --> 00:27:06,240 Speaker 8: against Joe Biden. And understand, not a one of them 462 00:27:06,280 --> 00:27:09,000 Speaker 8: did it because they're worried that we should not have 463 00:27:09,119 --> 00:27:12,119 Speaker 8: someone who has dementia as the commander in chief. Not 464 00:27:12,200 --> 00:27:15,120 Speaker 8: a one of them was worried about someone who's senile 465 00:27:15,160 --> 00:27:17,600 Speaker 8: and can't tie his shoes having a finger on the 466 00:27:17,680 --> 00:27:20,560 Speaker 8: nuclear button. They were all okay with that. The reason 467 00:27:20,600 --> 00:27:24,280 Speaker 8: they freaked out is simple. The American people watched that 468 00:27:24,359 --> 00:27:28,000 Speaker 8: debate and said, holy cow, this guy is not there. 469 00:27:28,040 --> 00:27:28,600 Speaker 2: He's gone. 470 00:27:28,680 --> 00:27:31,560 Speaker 8: And listen, any one of us who's had an elderly parent, 471 00:27:32,440 --> 00:27:37,560 Speaker 8: your grandparent, a relative, you've seen what the end of 472 00:27:37,640 --> 00:27:40,040 Speaker 8: life can be, and it can be sad, and Joe 473 00:27:40,040 --> 00:27:42,600 Speaker 8: Biden is well in the midst of it. And after 474 00:27:42,680 --> 00:27:46,760 Speaker 8: that debate, nobody could argue to the contrary. And so 475 00:27:46,800 --> 00:27:49,520 Speaker 8: the reason all the Democrats jump ship is they were 476 00:27:49,520 --> 00:27:50,480 Speaker 8: afraid they're going to lose. 477 00:27:51,680 --> 00:27:54,439 Speaker 1: How the hell do you run against somebody you don't 478 00:27:54,480 --> 00:27:57,639 Speaker 1: know who is going to be the nominee between now 479 00:27:58,000 --> 00:28:01,760 Speaker 1: and the convention, because you can't run against Joe Biden anymore? 480 00:28:02,000 --> 00:28:03,399 Speaker 2: How do you do it? What do you do? 481 00:28:03,400 --> 00:28:05,480 Speaker 1: Do you run against Kama twenty percent of the time, 482 00:28:05,520 --> 00:28:07,640 Speaker 1: you run against News some ten percent time, you run 483 00:28:07,680 --> 00:28:11,320 Speaker 1: against Shapiro another five percent. What in the hell does 484 00:28:11,359 --> 00:28:14,160 Speaker 1: the Trump campaign do for the next thirty days. 485 00:28:14,600 --> 00:28:18,240 Speaker 8: Well, let me first underscore just how historic this moment is. 486 00:28:18,320 --> 00:28:20,480 Speaker 8: This has never happened in the history of our country. 487 00:28:21,000 --> 00:28:23,760 Speaker 8: We have never had one of the two major party 488 00:28:23,760 --> 00:28:27,760 Speaker 8: nominees drop out anywhere close to this close to the election. 489 00:28:27,840 --> 00:28:30,840 Speaker 8: We're one hundred and six days away from the general election. 490 00:28:30,920 --> 00:28:34,240 Speaker 8: That the closest analog we have is the nineteen sixty 491 00:28:34,280 --> 00:28:38,400 Speaker 8: eight presidential election, where LBJ. Lynnon Vaine Johnson was the 492 00:28:38,440 --> 00:28:42,160 Speaker 8: incumbent president, the Democrat, and he opted not to run 493 00:28:42,240 --> 00:28:45,160 Speaker 8: for reelection. Joe Biden now joins him as the second 494 00:28:45,240 --> 00:28:48,320 Speaker 8: incumbent president to opt not to run for reelection, but 495 00:28:49,080 --> 00:28:52,120 Speaker 8: LBJ did so much much earlier in the cycle. There 496 00:28:52,200 --> 00:28:53,920 Speaker 8: was a full on primary at the end of the 497 00:28:54,000 --> 00:28:57,400 Speaker 8: day Hubert Humphrey the vice president one but one after 498 00:28:57,600 --> 00:29:01,560 Speaker 8: only a very contested race. Interesting enough, in that cycle 499 00:29:01,600 --> 00:29:04,000 Speaker 8: there was someone named Robert F. Kennedy who was running 500 00:29:04,240 --> 00:29:08,080 Speaker 8: who tragically was shot and assassinated. We now have RFK Junior, 501 00:29:08,120 --> 00:29:11,880 Speaker 8: his son running this cycle. So there are eerie parallels 502 00:29:11,920 --> 00:29:15,960 Speaker 8: and sixty eight as this year, the Democrat convention is 503 00:29:16,000 --> 00:29:19,960 Speaker 8: in Chicago. That convention was an absolute mess. It was chaotic, 504 00:29:20,240 --> 00:29:23,560 Speaker 8: There were angry left wing protesters outside, there were violent 505 00:29:23,640 --> 00:29:28,320 Speaker 8: clashes outside, and it contributed to a landslide victory of 506 00:29:28,400 --> 00:29:31,440 Speaker 8: Richard Nixon in that election, and the Republicans we may 507 00:29:31,480 --> 00:29:35,360 Speaker 8: well see history repeat itself once again. So what does 508 00:29:35,400 --> 00:29:39,680 Speaker 8: the Trump campaign do now? I would say about forty percent, 509 00:29:39,800 --> 00:29:42,479 Speaker 8: you run against Kamala Harris. I think Kamala Harris at 510 00:29:42,480 --> 00:29:45,520 Speaker 8: this point is very likely to be the Democrat nominee, 511 00:29:46,080 --> 00:29:48,360 Speaker 8: and so about forty percent you run against her. In 512 00:29:48,400 --> 00:29:52,840 Speaker 8: about sixty percent, you just run against the democrats failed agenda. 513 00:29:52,920 --> 00:29:56,800 Speaker 8: And understand, this policy record is not just Joe Biden's, 514 00:29:56,800 --> 00:30:00,000 Speaker 8: it's not just Kamala Harris's, but it is every Democrat 515 00:30:00,080 --> 00:30:02,440 Speaker 8: and the Senate, It's every Democrat in the House. All 516 00:30:02,480 --> 00:30:05,480 Speaker 8: of them have voted repeatedly in favor of trillions and 517 00:30:05,520 --> 00:30:08,920 Speaker 8: spending trillions in debt, printing money we don't have inflation 518 00:30:09,040 --> 00:30:11,640 Speaker 8: that is hammering working men and women. All of them 519 00:30:11,920 --> 00:30:14,600 Speaker 8: have voted repeatedly in favor of the open borders and 520 00:30:14,640 --> 00:30:18,000 Speaker 8: the invasion we have on our southern border. All of 521 00:30:18,040 --> 00:30:21,160 Speaker 8: them have voted in favor of releasing criminals from jail 522 00:30:21,240 --> 00:30:26,120 Speaker 8: and defunding the police and undermining law enforcement. And all 523 00:30:26,160 --> 00:30:30,040 Speaker 8: of them have voted in favor of this incredibly disastrous 524 00:30:30,080 --> 00:30:34,200 Speaker 8: foreign policy that includes undermining our friends and allies, including 525 00:30:34,360 --> 00:30:38,840 Speaker 8: especially the State of Israel, and also appeasing and showing 526 00:30:38,880 --> 00:30:41,880 Speaker 8: weakness to our enemies. So in the Senate, every Democrat 527 00:30:41,960 --> 00:30:45,880 Speaker 8: senator has voted in favor of Biden and Harris's disastrous 528 00:30:45,920 --> 00:30:50,480 Speaker 8: policy of flowing over one hundred billion dollars to the 529 00:30:50,520 --> 00:30:54,520 Speaker 8: Ayatola Commanie in Iran. Iran, in turns, provides ninety percent 530 00:30:54,520 --> 00:30:56,640 Speaker 8: of the funding to AMAS and ninety percent of the 531 00:30:56,640 --> 00:30:59,600 Speaker 8: funding to Hesbala. So I think what you do is 532 00:30:59,640 --> 00:31:04,720 Speaker 8: forty Kamala sixty percent. Their record is a disaster. It's 533 00:31:04,760 --> 00:31:07,840 Speaker 8: heard Americans across the board, and it doesn't matter which 534 00:31:07,880 --> 00:31:10,760 Speaker 8: widget you drop into the slot. They've got to defend 535 00:31:10,760 --> 00:31:12,360 Speaker 8: their record, and the record is a train wreck. 536 00:31:12,720 --> 00:31:16,600 Speaker 1: Final question for you, and it's an important one. We 537 00:31:16,680 --> 00:31:20,440 Speaker 1: are winning in every poll against Biden. That's obviously why 538 00:31:20,480 --> 00:31:23,160 Speaker 1: Biden dropped out. I think this is going to be 539 00:31:23,200 --> 00:31:25,720 Speaker 1: a complete reset. You and I just spent time did 540 00:31:25,760 --> 00:31:30,760 Speaker 1: several podcasts from Milwaukee, and your concerns you and I 541 00:31:30,800 --> 00:31:33,120 Speaker 1: talked about on the show was we were overconfident coming 542 00:31:33,200 --> 00:31:36,120 Speaker 1: out of there. Yes, I think this campaign is completely 543 00:31:36,120 --> 00:31:38,320 Speaker 1: The numbers we have right now are completely worthless. 544 00:31:38,720 --> 00:31:39,719 Speaker 2: In thirty days. 545 00:31:39,840 --> 00:31:42,440 Speaker 1: It's a whole brand new campaign with all brand new 546 00:31:42,480 --> 00:31:43,640 Speaker 1: polling Dowta, we have seen. 547 00:31:44,040 --> 00:31:46,000 Speaker 2: Everything's happened to this point doesn't matter. 548 00:31:46,040 --> 00:31:48,360 Speaker 8: Am I right or wrong? Look, that's exactly right. The 549 00:31:48,360 --> 00:31:52,720 Speaker 8: polls today do not matter. And the Democrats deliberately waited 550 00:31:52,760 --> 00:31:55,479 Speaker 8: to do this until after the Republican Convention. The convention 551 00:31:55,640 --> 00:31:58,280 Speaker 8: was the best Republican convention I've ever seen. We are 552 00:31:58,320 --> 00:32:01,560 Speaker 8: more unified than we have ever been. I assume Trump 553 00:32:01,600 --> 00:32:04,720 Speaker 8: will get a bounce out of it. Typically the historical 554 00:32:04,760 --> 00:32:09,040 Speaker 8: average is about four points, but this announcement is designed 555 00:32:09,080 --> 00:32:12,080 Speaker 8: to cut that off. And I got to say, on 556 00:32:12,080 --> 00:32:14,720 Speaker 8: one level, I was encouraged how unified we were in Milwaukee, 557 00:32:14,720 --> 00:32:17,120 Speaker 8: but another level, it scared me because I'm worried. I 558 00:32:17,120 --> 00:32:21,960 Speaker 8: don't want Republicans to be overconfident. There was an air 559 00:32:22,040 --> 00:32:25,160 Speaker 8: of celebration in Milwaukee, and frankly, the time for celebrating 560 00:32:25,240 --> 00:32:28,560 Speaker 8: is after election day, not now. Now is the time 561 00:32:28,600 --> 00:32:31,880 Speaker 8: for hard work. We're gonna have effectively a month long 562 00:32:31,960 --> 00:32:35,320 Speaker 8: Democrat convention where they're gonna dominate the news saying how 563 00:32:35,360 --> 00:32:38,640 Speaker 8: great all their choices are. That is dangerous. We need 564 00:32:38,680 --> 00:32:41,600 Speaker 8: to rally behind Donald Trump to get reelected. And I'll 565 00:32:41,600 --> 00:32:43,719 Speaker 8: point out I'm running in a very tough reelect in 566 00:32:43,760 --> 00:32:48,480 Speaker 8: Texas where a month of relentless corporate media pr for 567 00:32:48,520 --> 00:32:51,520 Speaker 8: the Democrats is dangerous.
