1
00:00:00,520 --> 00:00:03,560
Speaker 1: Hello, everybody, some major breaking news tonight. President Biden has

2
00:00:03,600 --> 00:00:06,280
Speaker 1: now sat for his very first television interview since his

3
00:00:06,400 --> 00:00:10,760
Speaker 1: disastrous debate performance and since calls from Democrats from behind

4
00:00:10,760 --> 00:00:13,640
Speaker 1: closed doors some in front have called for him to

5
00:00:13,800 --> 00:00:17,040
Speaker 1: drop out of the race. First, and foremost, ABC News

6
00:00:17,239 --> 00:00:20,599
Speaker 1: George Stephanopolos asked him, so, what the hell happened? What

7
00:00:20,760 --> 00:00:23,520
Speaker 1: went wrong in that debate? Biden is sticking with the

8
00:00:23,560 --> 00:00:26,960
Speaker 1: excuse that he had a bad cold and blaming international travel,

9
00:00:27,160 --> 00:00:28,960
Speaker 1: even though he had return to the United States some

10
00:00:29,080 --> 00:00:31,480
Speaker 1: eleven to twelve days prior to the debate.

11
00:00:31,720 --> 00:00:33,280
Speaker 2: Let's take a listen to that answer.

12
00:00:33,760 --> 00:00:34,680
Speaker 3: Let's start with the debate.

13
00:00:35,479 --> 00:00:37,839
Speaker 4: You and your team have said you had a bad night,

14
00:00:38,640 --> 00:00:42,000
Speaker 4: but your friend Nancy Pelosi actually framed the question, and

15
00:00:42,040 --> 00:00:44,120
Speaker 4: I think is on the minds of millions of Americans.

16
00:00:44,720 --> 00:00:47,239
Speaker 4: Was this a bad episode with a sign of a

17
00:00:47,280 --> 00:00:48,360
Speaker 4: more serious condition.

18
00:00:49,680 --> 00:00:53,000
Speaker 5: It's a bad episode, not in a case in any

19
00:00:53,040 --> 00:00:56,280
Speaker 5: serious condition. I was exhausted. I did listen to my

20
00:00:56,360 --> 00:00:59,240
Speaker 5: INDs thinks in terms of prepared.

21
00:01:01,320 --> 00:01:03,720
Speaker 3: You say you were exhausted, and I know you've said

22
00:01:03,760 --> 00:01:06,080
Speaker 3: that before as well, but you came and you did

23
00:01:06,120 --> 00:01:07,880
Speaker 3: have a tough mind. But you came home from Europe

24
00:01:07,920 --> 00:01:11,240
Speaker 3: about eleven or twelve days before the debate, spent six

25
00:01:11,360 --> 00:01:15,160
Speaker 3: days in camp, David, Why wasn't that enough rest time,

26
00:01:15,240 --> 00:01:16,160
Speaker 3: enough recovery time?

27
00:01:16,560 --> 00:01:19,120
Speaker 5: Because I was sick. I was feeling terrible. Matter of fact,

28
00:01:19,160 --> 00:01:20,840
Speaker 5: the docs with me. I asked if they did a

29
00:01:20,840 --> 00:01:22,759
Speaker 5: COVID test, But you were trying to figure out what's wrong.

30
00:01:23,319 --> 00:01:24,920
Speaker 5: You did a test to see whether or not I

31
00:01:25,040 --> 00:01:29,800
Speaker 5: had some infection and know lirus. I didn't just sound

32
00:01:29,800 --> 00:01:30,320
Speaker 5: a really.

33
00:01:30,160 --> 00:01:31,400
Speaker 2: Bad cold, all right.

34
00:01:31,440 --> 00:01:33,680
Speaker 1: So, as you can see, he's sticking to that excuse

35
00:01:33,720 --> 00:01:37,480
Speaker 1: about the quote unquote bad cold. The second moment that

36
00:01:37,520 --> 00:01:39,360
Speaker 1: really caught everybody's eye. Keep in mind, this is only

37
00:01:39,440 --> 00:01:41,959
Speaker 1: the first two minutes and it was released by ABC's.

38
00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:45,160
Speaker 1: When he's asked, so, did you even watch the debate?

39
00:01:45,480 --> 00:01:49,080
Speaker 1: He cannot remember whether he watched the debate. He spaces out,

40
00:01:49,320 --> 00:01:52,400
Speaker 1: looks off into the distance for almost a full five seconds,

41
00:01:52,600 --> 00:01:56,320
Speaker 1: can barely answer, and then basically musters up. It was

42
00:01:56,360 --> 00:01:59,360
Speaker 1: a bad episode, that's what it was. Let's just stick

43
00:01:59,400 --> 00:02:02,080
Speaker 1: with that, and I am moving forward. Let's take a listen.

44
00:02:02,560 --> 00:02:04,880
Speaker 3: Did you ever watch the debate? Afterwards?

45
00:02:06,400 --> 00:02:07,200
Speaker 5: I don't think I did?

46
00:02:07,320 --> 00:02:08,959
Speaker 2: Know, well, what I'm trying.

47
00:02:09,000 --> 00:02:10,639
Speaker 3: What I want to get at is what were you

48
00:02:10,800 --> 00:02:13,120
Speaker 3: experiencing as you were going through the debate? Did you

49
00:02:13,200 --> 00:02:14,560
Speaker 3: know how badly it was going?

50
00:02:15,080 --> 00:02:21,320
Speaker 5: Yeah, look the whole way I prepared nobody's fault mind,

51
00:02:22,080 --> 00:02:27,360
Speaker 5: nobody's fault of mind. I prepared what I usually would do,

52
00:02:27,680 --> 00:02:30,959
Speaker 5: sitting down as I did, come back foreign leaders or

53
00:02:31,120 --> 00:02:36,480
Speaker 5: the National Security Council for explicit details. And I realized

54
00:02:36,840 --> 00:02:40,320
Speaker 5: part way through that, you know, although I did get

55
00:02:40,360 --> 00:02:42,919
Speaker 5: quoted The New York Times had me down at ten

56
00:02:43,000 --> 00:02:46,000
Speaker 5: points before the debate nine now or whatever the hell

57
00:02:46,040 --> 00:02:48,680
Speaker 5: it is, the fact of the matter is that what

58
00:02:48,800 --> 00:02:53,280
Speaker 5: I looked at is that he also lied twenty eight times.

59
00:02:53,320 --> 00:02:57,360
Speaker 5: I couldn't. I mean, the way the debate ran not

60
00:02:57,560 --> 00:02:59,720
Speaker 5: my fault, nobody else, is all no one else's.

61
00:03:00,480 --> 00:03:02,200
Speaker 4: But it seemed like you were having trouble from the

62
00:03:02,200 --> 00:03:08,040
Speaker 4: first question in even before he spoke, well, I just had.

63
00:03:07,919 --> 00:03:09,280
Speaker 2: A bad night, Okay.

64
00:03:09,360 --> 00:03:12,040
Speaker 1: So that those were the two flagship moments from the

65
00:03:12,040 --> 00:03:14,520
Speaker 1: debate that occurred just in the first two minutes. I'm

66
00:03:14,520 --> 00:03:16,440
Speaker 1: gonna go ahead and break down the rest of it

67
00:03:16,520 --> 00:03:18,600
Speaker 1: for you, and I have some of my notes in

68
00:03:18,600 --> 00:03:20,400
Speaker 1: front of me. As I was watching it live. It's

69
00:03:20,400 --> 00:03:22,800
Speaker 1: approbably me about eight thirty five pm here on the

70
00:03:22,840 --> 00:03:26,160
Speaker 1: East Coast. So what happened is is that President Biden

71
00:03:26,280 --> 00:03:29,880
Speaker 1: was asked a full three times by ABC News whether

72
00:03:30,080 --> 00:03:33,720
Speaker 1: he would be whether he would commit to a cognitive test.

73
00:03:33,800 --> 00:03:38,000
Speaker 1: He refused multiple times to say yes. He just kept saying, quote,

74
00:03:38,040 --> 00:03:41,760
Speaker 1: I've already done it, pointing to his job performance as

75
00:03:41,840 --> 00:03:45,560
Speaker 1: evidence that he was cognitively good enough to do the job.

76
00:03:45,720 --> 00:03:48,280
Speaker 1: He was similarly asked whether he would commit to a

77
00:03:48,320 --> 00:03:51,600
Speaker 1: neurological exam. Even though he referenced his check up, he

78
00:03:51,600 --> 00:03:54,760
Speaker 1: has not had a full neurological makeup looking for dementior

79
00:03:54,760 --> 00:04:00,800
Speaker 1: any other signs of aging Alzheimer related diseases. He said

80
00:04:00,840 --> 00:04:04,080
Speaker 1: again that the full neurological test he takes is his

81
00:04:04,200 --> 00:04:06,960
Speaker 1: work every day as president. There was one moment that

82
00:04:07,040 --> 00:04:10,120
Speaker 1: really caught my eye. ABC News quote, are you more frail?

83
00:04:10,240 --> 00:04:13,920
Speaker 1: President Biden? No, come keep my schedule. Keep in mind

84
00:04:14,200 --> 00:04:16,200
Speaker 1: this is from the person who we have now learned

85
00:04:16,240 --> 00:04:19,599
Speaker 1: had to take multiple afternoon naps during his debate, perform

86
00:04:19,720 --> 00:04:22,480
Speaker 1: a debate preparation, had to take two full days off

87
00:04:22,520 --> 00:04:25,200
Speaker 1: go to his beach house, and frankly had an entire

88
00:04:25,320 --> 00:04:29,320
Speaker 1: week to prepare with advisors at Camp David doing absolutely

89
00:04:29,560 --> 00:04:33,760
Speaker 1: nothing even ahead of his debate. There was also a

90
00:04:33,800 --> 00:04:37,039
Speaker 1: few other moments which really caught my eye here as

91
00:04:37,080 --> 00:04:40,760
Speaker 1: they got very deep into Biden's psychology. I'm going to

92
00:04:40,800 --> 00:04:44,640
Speaker 1: read again directly, Are you being honest about your ability

93
00:04:44,640 --> 00:04:45,880
Speaker 1: to defeat Donald Trump?

94
00:04:46,080 --> 00:04:46,520
Speaker 2: Biden?

95
00:04:46,839 --> 00:04:50,719
Speaker 1: Yes, yes, yes. He said that the polls were not

96
00:04:50,960 --> 00:04:55,280
Speaker 1: accurate showing him losing to Donald Trump. ABC News challenged him, saying,

97
00:04:55,320 --> 00:04:57,200
Speaker 1: mister President, I have never seen a president with a

98
00:04:57,240 --> 00:05:00,719
Speaker 1: thirty six percent approval rating. Get reelected that his own

99
00:05:00,760 --> 00:05:04,360
Speaker 1: internal polls showed something different. He says he is going

100
00:05:04,400 --> 00:05:06,880
Speaker 1: to challenge Donald Trump in a way that he's never

101
00:05:06,920 --> 00:05:09,719
Speaker 1: been challenged before, and he hasn't done it yet because

102
00:05:09,760 --> 00:05:13,080
Speaker 1: he's been too busy with foreign affairs. He also claimed

103
00:05:13,120 --> 00:05:15,720
Speaker 1: that every polster that he talks to says that he

104
00:05:15,880 --> 00:05:17,839
Speaker 1: is in a toss up. So I mean Biden is

105
00:05:17,920 --> 00:05:21,440
Speaker 1: full on delusional. I mean, every single major, high quality,

106
00:05:21,480 --> 00:05:24,160
Speaker 1: even frankly low quality poll at this point shows him

107
00:05:24,240 --> 00:05:27,560
Speaker 1: losing significantly to Donald Trump. Every single poll that has

108
00:05:27,600 --> 00:05:31,040
Speaker 1: come out after the debate has only showed Trump expanding

109
00:05:31,080 --> 00:05:35,560
Speaker 1: his lead over Joe Biden. George Stephanoppolos at ABC actually,

110
00:05:35,640 --> 00:05:38,600
Speaker 1: to his credit, pressed him on that and said, hey,

111
00:05:38,800 --> 00:05:42,039
Speaker 1: you know, how exactly is this going to get done?

112
00:05:42,320 --> 00:05:45,640
Speaker 1: And he just continued to point to enthusiasm in a

113
00:05:45,760 --> 00:05:48,360
Speaker 1: very Trumpian move. Actually, he said, have you ever seen

114
00:05:48,400 --> 00:05:50,800
Speaker 1: anybody draw as big of a crowd as me? Keep

115
00:05:50,839 --> 00:05:53,440
Speaker 1: in mind, at a frankly small gymnasium that he was

116
00:05:53,560 --> 00:05:57,479
Speaker 1: just at at a campaign event in Wisconsin. ABC was like,

117
00:05:57,520 --> 00:05:59,119
Speaker 1: I don't think you want to play that game, because

118
00:05:59,160 --> 00:06:04,200
Speaker 1: Donald Trump also draws very large crowds. Continuing this is

119
00:06:04,240 --> 00:06:09,560
Speaker 1: perhaps the most significant, Biden claimed that democratic discontent over

120
00:06:09,600 --> 00:06:12,920
Speaker 1: his candidacy is just something that he's seen from the press. Now,

121
00:06:13,000 --> 00:06:15,800
Speaker 1: keep in mind, there's only been a few public officials.

122
00:06:15,839 --> 00:06:17,680
Speaker 1: Now I think it's one or two members of the

123
00:06:17,680 --> 00:06:19,960
Speaker 1: House of Representatives that have come out and said that

124
00:06:20,040 --> 00:06:22,800
Speaker 1: Joe Biden should drop out of the race. Senator Mark

125
00:06:22,839 --> 00:06:26,000
Speaker 1: Warner allegedly behind the scenes, is trying to organize a

126
00:06:26,000 --> 00:06:28,880
Speaker 1: group of senators to try and tell Biden to drop out.

127
00:06:29,000 --> 00:06:31,279
Speaker 1: Biden was asked to respond to that, and he just said,

128
00:06:31,480 --> 00:06:32,440
Speaker 1: Mark is a good man.

129
00:06:32,640 --> 00:06:33,640
Speaker 2: Keep this in mind.

130
00:06:33,640 --> 00:06:36,159
Speaker 1: I'm taking that with a grain of salt, because Mark

131
00:06:36,200 --> 00:06:38,760
Speaker 1: Warner has not come out and said that publicly. That

132
00:06:38,880 --> 00:06:41,440
Speaker 1: is something that has simply just been leaked to the

133
00:06:41,600 --> 00:06:45,200
Speaker 1: Washington Post. Continuing on President Biden just said that the

134
00:06:45,279 --> 00:06:48,599
Speaker 1: vast majority of Democrats want him to run again. He says,

135
00:06:49,000 --> 00:06:52,160
Speaker 1: had his internal polls show a different approval rating. I mean,

136
00:06:52,480 --> 00:06:55,520
Speaker 1: much of the answers here just show a man who

137
00:06:55,600 --> 00:07:00,599
Speaker 1: is completely shrouded in delusion, who has convinced himself with

138
00:07:00,760 --> 00:07:03,640
Speaker 1: visions of grandeur. I mean, he was asked why he

139
00:07:03,680 --> 00:07:06,839
Speaker 1: wouldn't step aside for a stronger candidate, and he claimed

140
00:07:06,839 --> 00:07:09,640
Speaker 1: that he was the strongest candidate. I mean, one of

141
00:07:09,680 --> 00:07:12,800
Speaker 1: the most poignant moments actually came near the end of

142
00:07:12,840 --> 00:07:14,080
Speaker 1: the interview. I'm going to go ahead and play it

143
00:07:14,120 --> 00:07:16,520
Speaker 1: for you, guys. George Defanopplis asked him, if you stay

144
00:07:16,520 --> 00:07:19,080
Speaker 1: in and Trump is elected and everything you're warning about

145
00:07:19,120 --> 00:07:22,280
Speaker 1: comes to pass, how you will feel in January? Here

146
00:07:22,440 --> 00:07:23,960
Speaker 1: is what Joe Biden had to say.

147
00:07:25,480 --> 00:07:28,200
Speaker 3: And if you stay in and Trump is elected and

148
00:07:28,320 --> 00:07:31,200
Speaker 3: everything you're warning about comes to pass, how will you

149
00:07:31,240 --> 00:07:32,160
Speaker 3: feel in January?

150
00:07:33,400 --> 00:07:35,520
Speaker 5: I feel as long as I gave it my all

151
00:07:35,840 --> 00:07:38,120
Speaker 5: and I did the goodest jobs I know I can do,

152
00:07:38,920 --> 00:07:42,680
Speaker 5: That's what this is about, looks George, think it to

153
00:07:42,800 --> 00:07:46,680
Speaker 5: this way. You've heard me say this before. I think

154
00:07:47,400 --> 00:07:50,880
Speaker 5: the United States and the world is as an inflection point. Well,

155
00:07:50,920 --> 00:07:52,760
Speaker 5: the things that happened the next seven years are going

156
00:07:52,800 --> 00:07:54,880
Speaker 5: to turn out the next six to seven decades in quiet.

157
00:07:56,200 --> 00:07:58,720
Speaker 5: And who's going to be able to hold natter together

158
00:07:58,880 --> 00:08:01,240
Speaker 5: like me? Who's going to be able to be in

159
00:08:01,280 --> 00:08:05,200
Speaker 5: a position where I'm able to keep a Pacific basin

160
00:08:05,600 --> 00:08:10,679
Speaker 5: in a position where we're at least check Benny China.

161
00:08:10,760 --> 00:08:13,120
Speaker 2: Now, who's going to do Who's going to do that?

162
00:08:13,680 --> 00:08:15,040
Speaker 5: Who has that reach?

163
00:08:15,560 --> 00:08:16,520
Speaker 2: Who has who.

164
00:08:16,320 --> 00:08:19,200
Speaker 5: Knows all these we're going to have? I guess a

165
00:08:19,440 --> 00:08:21,640
Speaker 5: good way to judge me is you're going to have

166
00:08:21,800 --> 00:08:24,800
Speaker 5: now the NATO conference here in the United States next week.

167
00:08:25,960 --> 00:08:28,160
Speaker 5: Come listen, it's gonna what they.

168
00:08:28,080 --> 00:08:29,120
Speaker 2: Said, all right.

169
00:08:29,200 --> 00:08:31,400
Speaker 1: I mean, he's putting it all out on the line.

170
00:08:31,560 --> 00:08:36,480
Speaker 1: He basically thinks everybody is being a bedwetter. He thinks

171
00:08:36,600 --> 00:08:39,760
Speaker 1: that all of these people are freaking out for no reason,

172
00:08:39,800 --> 00:08:42,440
Speaker 1: that he's got plenty of tricks left up his sleeve.

173
00:08:42,920 --> 00:08:46,240
Speaker 1: He was asked again twice of not only about his

174
00:08:46,320 --> 00:08:49,960
Speaker 1: cognitive ability, but can you really keep doing this job?

175
00:08:50,360 --> 00:08:54,079
Speaker 1: For four more years after this, and he would point

176
00:08:54,120 --> 00:08:56,840
Speaker 1: to his accomplishments and I will say this like, this

177
00:08:56,920 --> 00:08:59,600
Speaker 1: is my own personal, you know thing. He The number

178
00:08:59,640 --> 00:09:01,880
Speaker 1: one thing he always brags about throughout this entire interview

179
00:09:01,960 --> 00:09:04,760
Speaker 1: is expanding NATO, as if that's something that we're supposed

180
00:09:04,960 --> 00:09:08,840
Speaker 1: to brag about. Bright expanding the US nuclear security umbrella

181
00:09:09,040 --> 00:09:12,040
Speaker 1: and increasing the likelihood of war was part of our

182
00:09:12,080 --> 00:09:15,880
Speaker 1: disastrous policy in Ukraine. He also at one point bragged

183
00:09:15,920 --> 00:09:19,000
Speaker 1: about a peace plan in the Middle East. Anyone want

184
00:09:19,080 --> 00:09:21,360
Speaker 1: check in over on the Middle East, tell me exactly

185
00:09:21,640 --> 00:09:23,920
Speaker 1: what's going on there. I mean, some of the answers

186
00:09:23,960 --> 00:09:27,400
Speaker 1: here are just they're insane. I guess ABC. To their

187
00:09:27,440 --> 00:09:30,760
Speaker 1: credit they say, look, we released the full interview. There

188
00:09:30,800 --> 00:09:32,520
Speaker 1: was no edits. But I mean, this is where I

189
00:09:32,520 --> 00:09:34,760
Speaker 1: have to hit them a little bit. Twenty two minutes, guys,

190
00:09:35,000 --> 00:09:38,040
Speaker 1: twenty two minutes, just to give people some, you know,

191
00:09:38,080 --> 00:09:42,120
Speaker 1: some behind the scenes. I interviewed Donald Trump four separate

192
00:09:42,160 --> 00:09:45,160
Speaker 1: times in the Oval Office over the span of two years.

193
00:09:45,400 --> 00:09:48,280
Speaker 1: Not one of those interviews was less than thirty five minutes.

194
00:09:48,480 --> 00:09:50,880
Speaker 1: Not one was less than thirty five minutes. I believe

195
00:09:50,920 --> 00:09:54,160
Speaker 1: the longest one was an hour and six minutes. Now, sure,

196
00:09:54,200 --> 00:09:57,120
Speaker 1: that's certainly a little bit atypical just because it was Trump,

197
00:09:57,200 --> 00:09:59,480
Speaker 1: and you know, I guess there's some difference between camera

198
00:09:59,480 --> 00:10:02,320
Speaker 1: as well, But I mean he sat for hour long interviews.

199
00:10:02,360 --> 00:10:05,520
Speaker 1: He more recently did podcasts, and more so, twenty two

200
00:10:05,520 --> 00:10:09,079
Speaker 1: minutes in this business is a joke. It is especially

201
00:10:09,120 --> 00:10:12,640
Speaker 1: a joke coming from the man who just basically melted

202
00:10:12,720 --> 00:10:15,600
Speaker 1: down on stage over a ninety minute debate and then

203
00:10:15,679 --> 00:10:20,199
Speaker 1: waited eight nine days to do a twenty two measly interview.

204
00:10:20,600 --> 00:10:22,240
Speaker 1: I can also report to you, guys, we're going to

205
00:10:22,280 --> 00:10:24,280
Speaker 1: be talking a lot about this on Monday, that he

206
00:10:24,320 --> 00:10:26,920
Speaker 1: will be doing a full press conference, solo press conference

207
00:10:26,920 --> 00:10:29,040
Speaker 1: to allay everybody's concerns. Yeah, I guess when it is

208
00:10:29,120 --> 00:10:32,640
Speaker 1: on Thursday. So he needed a week to prepare for

209
00:10:32,679 --> 00:10:35,280
Speaker 1: the debate. Then he needed a week to prepare, you know,

210
00:10:35,400 --> 00:10:38,400
Speaker 1: outside of his ten major events, which we're all just

211
00:10:38,440 --> 00:10:41,480
Speaker 1: campaign events, reading off of a teleprompter, where he keeps

212
00:10:41,520 --> 00:10:43,200
Speaker 1: just saying there's no way I'm going to drop out.

213
00:10:43,360 --> 00:10:45,280
Speaker 1: There's no way I'm going to drop out, even as

214
00:10:45,320 --> 00:10:48,640
Speaker 1: a groundswell of opinion, you know, starts to mount against him.

215
00:10:48,880 --> 00:10:51,880
Speaker 1: What comes through to me everywhere I've gone this week,

216
00:10:52,200 --> 00:10:55,040
Speaker 1: at literally everywhere, barbershop, jim where, you know, wherever I am,

217
00:10:55,040 --> 00:10:57,240
Speaker 1: and public people are asking me. They're like, hey, so

218
00:10:57,400 --> 00:10:59,760
Speaker 1: do you think that Biden is going to drop out?

219
00:11:00,000 --> 00:11:02,360
Speaker 1: I'll repeat you know what I put out there already

220
00:11:02,559 --> 00:11:06,319
Speaker 1: is that I will never bet against Joe Biden's arrogance.

221
00:11:06,480 --> 00:11:11,079
Speaker 1: And his arrogance came through so much throughout this very

222
00:11:11,160 --> 00:11:14,959
Speaker 1: very short interview. My personal favorite moment is George Deefhanoppolis

223
00:11:15,000 --> 00:11:17,280
Speaker 1: asked him, so, who.

224
00:11:16,800 --> 00:11:17,920
Speaker 2: Could get you to drop out?

225
00:11:17,960 --> 00:11:20,640
Speaker 1: And he just said, the Lord Almighty, And he's not

226
00:11:21,120 --> 00:11:27,520
Speaker 1: coming down so absent the Lord Almighty, he's not going anywhere. Maybe,

227
00:11:27,600 --> 00:11:29,959
Speaker 1: you know, there could be a democratic revolt and other

228
00:11:30,040 --> 00:11:32,640
Speaker 1: things that happened behind the scenes, but guys, I can

229
00:11:32,679 --> 00:11:36,640
Speaker 1: tell you he is clinging to this, honestly, even harder

230
00:11:36,840 --> 00:11:40,520
Speaker 1: than he probably he was before. He brought up that

231
00:11:40,640 --> 00:11:43,760
Speaker 1: the press and everybody had counted him out beforehand in

232
00:11:43,800 --> 00:11:47,720
Speaker 1: twenty twenty and in twenty twenty two. He's basically sticking

233
00:11:47,720 --> 00:11:49,600
Speaker 1: to a theory that all of the polls are wrong,

234
00:11:49,679 --> 00:11:53,040
Speaker 1: that he's been an incredible, amazing president, that the policies

235
00:11:53,320 --> 00:11:55,240
Speaker 1: that he has done is setting the United States up

236
00:11:55,240 --> 00:11:58,120
Speaker 1: for victory over the next six to seven decades. He

237
00:11:58,520 --> 00:12:01,360
Speaker 1: believes in his head he is FDR. He thinks he

238
00:12:01,400 --> 00:12:05,520
Speaker 1: is a world transformational president. He believes that he is

239
00:12:05,559 --> 00:12:08,320
Speaker 1: the best man for the job. He claimed that he

240
00:12:08,400 --> 00:12:11,680
Speaker 1: was the best candidate, the one most qualified to defeat

241
00:12:11,760 --> 00:12:15,640
Speaker 1: Donald Trump. So as of right now, he's not going anywhere, guys.

242
00:12:15,720 --> 00:12:20,560
Speaker 1: Even though in this interview he had several moments just

243
00:12:20,920 --> 00:12:24,480
Speaker 1: kind of trailed off, lost his train of thought, coughed, stumbled,

244
00:12:24,840 --> 00:12:29,240
Speaker 1: unable to get a sentence out with any semblance of clarity.

245
00:12:29,360 --> 00:12:33,200
Speaker 1: So it was a revealing interview in several ways. Both

246
00:12:33,440 --> 00:12:35,840
Speaker 1: his condition is exactly the same as it was during

247
00:12:35,840 --> 00:12:37,800
Speaker 1: the debate. I guess the only good thing is he

248
00:12:37,840 --> 00:12:40,280
Speaker 1: has committed to another debate, so we'll all get to

249
00:12:40,280 --> 00:12:43,319
Speaker 1: see it a second time around sometime in September. It

250
00:12:43,320 --> 00:12:46,440
Speaker 1: will be on ABC News, the same channel that broadcasted

251
00:12:46,480 --> 00:12:47,000
Speaker 1: this interview.

252
00:12:47,000 --> 00:12:49,640
Speaker 2: But wanted to make sure I went ahead and brought this.

253
00:12:49,640 --> 00:12:51,520
Speaker 1: This is a major moment, and this is literally the

254
00:12:51,559 --> 00:12:54,400
Speaker 1: first explanation that we've gotten from the President, and even

255
00:12:54,400 --> 00:12:57,880
Speaker 1: a semi hostile question setting, and he has given us

256
00:12:57,920 --> 00:13:00,120
Speaker 1: all of the answers to the questions of if he's

257
00:13:00,160 --> 00:13:02,800
Speaker 1: going to drop out, No, are you worried about Democrats?

258
00:13:02,800 --> 00:13:04,720
Speaker 2: What do you say to democrats? Don't worry about it.

259
00:13:04,760 --> 00:13:07,480
Speaker 1: I'm actually winning in my secret polls, and there is

260
00:13:07,520 --> 00:13:09,040
Speaker 1: nobody who can get me to drop out of this

261
00:13:09,120 --> 00:13:12,760
Speaker 1: race except for the Lord Almighty, and he claims it.

262
00:13:12,880 --> 00:13:15,360
Speaker 1: Chuck Schumer and Nancy Pelosi, Jim Klyburn, they all told

263
00:13:15,440 --> 00:13:16,600
Speaker 1: him to keep running.

264
00:13:17,559 --> 00:13:18,480
Speaker 2: So that's where we're at.

265
00:13:19,040 --> 00:13:20,840
Speaker 1: We'll have a great show for everybody on Monday, and

266
00:13:20,840 --> 00:13:23,160
Speaker 1: if anything breaks, I'll be back here over the weekend.

267
00:13:23,160 --> 00:13:24,000
Speaker 2: I'll see you guys later
