1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:03,800
Speaker 1: And the fact that they passed up this chance on

2
00:00:03,960 --> 00:00:08,080
Speaker 1: Super Bowl Sunday is a big mistake. This is the warning,

3
00:00:08,240 --> 00:00:12,160
Speaker 1: and it's Super Bowl Sunday. Today will be the biggest

4
00:00:12,360 --> 00:00:18,159
Speaker 1: betting day, the greatest gambling event in world history. The

5
00:00:18,280 --> 00:00:21,880
Speaker 1: super Bowl is here, but one thing the American people

6
00:00:21,920 --> 00:00:24,439
Speaker 1: won't see is the President of the United States being

7
00:00:24,480 --> 00:00:29,480
Speaker 1: interviewed on the pregame show. And that's too bad. President

8
00:00:29,520 --> 00:00:33,680
Speaker 1: Biden needs to show connection. And the super Bowl audience

9
00:00:34,240 --> 00:00:38,800
Speaker 1: is the largest audience on American television in a year.

10
00:00:39,680 --> 00:00:44,440
Speaker 1: An interview for the Super Bowl at CBS News puts

11
00:00:44,479 --> 00:00:48,840
Speaker 1: the President in front of millions of people who don't

12
00:00:48,880 --> 00:00:54,360
Speaker 1: see him in a normal, relaxed setting. Ever, the President

13
00:00:54,480 --> 00:01:00,120
Speaker 1: is being accused by his political opponents, by maggat extremists,

14
00:01:00,400 --> 00:01:04,600
Speaker 1: of being unfit, that he doesn't have the capacity, that

15
00:01:04,680 --> 00:01:08,280
Speaker 1: he's senile, suffering from dementia, that he did not remember

16
00:01:08,319 --> 00:01:11,960
Speaker 1: when his son died, he did not remember being vice president.

17
00:01:12,840 --> 00:01:16,320
Speaker 1: And the only way to refute these things is by

18
00:01:16,400 --> 00:01:24,160
Speaker 1: showing it's a smear by deed. Nobody says Nancy Pelosi

19
00:01:24,760 --> 00:01:31,040
Speaker 1: has dementia, because it's obvious that she doesn't. President Biden

20
00:01:31,160 --> 00:01:37,640
Speaker 1: sometimes mumbles President Biden sometimes confuses his words. George Bush

21
00:01:37,680 --> 00:01:41,320
Speaker 1: did the same thing, Ronald Reagan did the same thing.

22
00:01:42,560 --> 00:01:47,080
Speaker 1: Even Barack Obama and Bill Clinton did it occasionally. That's

23
00:01:47,120 --> 00:01:51,960
Speaker 1: not a sign of dementia. The attacks are relentless, they

24
00:01:51,960 --> 00:01:56,440
Speaker 1: are ferocious, They are unfair, they are mean, and they

25
00:01:56,480 --> 00:02:00,640
Speaker 1: are cruel. There is no morality, There is no decency.

26
00:02:00,720 --> 00:02:06,040
Speaker 1: There is no restraint within the MAGA extremist cause they

27
00:02:06,040 --> 00:02:10,680
Speaker 1: will do anything to take power. If they will burn

28
00:02:10,760 --> 00:02:14,800
Speaker 1: down the constitution of the United States, if they will

29
00:02:14,840 --> 00:02:19,160
Speaker 1: incite an insurrection, if they will deny the results of

30
00:02:19,200 --> 00:02:23,320
Speaker 1: an election, they will not have a problem smearing the

31
00:02:23,360 --> 00:02:30,600
Speaker 1: president on this question. Every time the Biden team has

32
00:02:30,639 --> 00:02:36,120
Speaker 1: an opportunity to communicate to the American people, they must

33
00:02:36,120 --> 00:02:42,120
Speaker 1: take it. The President must be seen leading, and he

34
00:02:42,760 --> 00:02:49,120
Speaker 1: must take the fight to Donald Trump. This campaign cannot

35
00:02:49,120 --> 00:02:54,400
Speaker 1: be about Joe Biden. It must be a choice between

36
00:02:54,480 --> 00:03:03,360
Speaker 1: America and insanity, between America and Trump, between good versus bad,

37
00:03:04,240 --> 00:03:10,080
Speaker 1: between honest versus dishonest. Donald Trump is a loathsome figure.

38
00:03:10,800 --> 00:03:14,920
Speaker 1: He's a liar. He has been convicted of sexual assault,

39
00:03:15,639 --> 00:03:19,920
Speaker 1: he has been charged with ninety two felonies, and yet

40
00:03:20,960 --> 00:03:25,000
Speaker 1: he is in a position to be elected president again,

41
00:03:25,760 --> 00:03:29,919
Speaker 1: and if it happens, it will be a catastrophe for

42
00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:34,320
Speaker 1: the United States and the whole of the world. It

43
00:03:34,400 --> 00:03:39,760
Speaker 1: must not happen, and the number one way to prevent

44
00:03:39,800 --> 00:03:43,840
Speaker 1: it from happening is for Joe Biden to take the

45
00:03:43,880 --> 00:03:50,000
Speaker 1: fight to Donald Trump every single chance he gets. And

46
00:03:50,040 --> 00:03:54,120
Speaker 1: the fact that they passed up this chance on Super

47
00:03:54,160 --> 00:03:58,720
Speaker 1: Bowl Sunday is a big mistake. And the problem with

48
00:03:58,840 --> 00:04:03,960
Speaker 1: mistakes is that in a presidential campaign, they tend to accumulate,

49
00:04:04,600 --> 00:04:09,160
Speaker 1: pile up, and in the end they can lead to defeat.

50
00:04:10,640 --> 00:04:15,160
Speaker 1: This is not a race that America can afford to lose.

51
00:04:16,200 --> 00:04:20,039
Speaker 1: So the president needs to be in the fight seven

52
00:04:20,360 --> 00:04:24,760
Speaker 1: days a week. Thank you for listening to my political commentary.

56
00:04:39,480 --> 00:04:43,600
Speaker 1: is the most consequential in America's history. It's not hyperbole,
