WEBVTT - Why Did President Biden Decline A Super Bowl Interview?

0:00:00.080 --> 0:00:03.800
<v Speaker 1>And the fact that they passed up this chance on

0:00:03.960 --> 0:00:08.080
<v Speaker 1>Super Bowl Sunday is a big mistake. This is the warning,

0:00:08.240 --> 0:00:12.160
<v Speaker 1>and it's Super Bowl Sunday. Today will be the biggest

0:00:12.360 --> 0:00:18.159
<v Speaker 1>betting day, the greatest gambling event in world history. The

0:00:18.280 --> 0:00:21.880
<v Speaker 1>super Bowl is here, but one thing the American people

0:00:21.920 --> 0:00:24.439
<v Speaker 1>won't see is the President of the United States being

0:00:24.480 --> 0:00:29.480
<v Speaker 1>interviewed on the pregame show. And that's too bad. President

0:00:29.520 --> 0:00:33.680
<v Speaker 1>Biden needs to show connection. And the super Bowl audience

0:00:34.240 --> 0:00:38.800
<v Speaker 1>is the largest audience on American television in a year.

0:00:39.680 --> 0:00:44.440
<v Speaker 1>An interview for the Super Bowl at CBS News puts

0:00:44.479 --> 0:00:48.840
<v Speaker 1>the President in front of millions of people who don't

0:00:48.880 --> 0:00:54.360
<v Speaker 1>see him in a normal, relaxed setting. Ever, the President

0:00:54.480 --> 0:01:00.120
<v Speaker 1>is being accused by his political opponents, by maggat extremists,

0:01:00.400 --> 0:01:04.600
<v Speaker 1>of being unfit, that he doesn't have the capacity, that

0:01:04.680 --> 0:01:08.280
<v Speaker 1>he's senile, suffering from dementia, that he did not remember

0:01:08.319 --> 0:01:11.960
<v Speaker 1>when his son died, he did not remember being vice president.

0:01:12.840 --> 0:01:16.320
<v Speaker 1>And the only way to refute these things is by

0:01:16.400 --> 0:01:24.160
<v Speaker 1>showing it's a smear by deed. Nobody says Nancy Pelosi

0:01:24.760 --> 0:01:31.040
<v Speaker 1>has dementia, because it's obvious that she doesn't. President Biden

0:01:31.160 --> 0:01:37.640
<v Speaker 1>sometimes mumbles President Biden sometimes confuses his words. George Bush

0:01:37.680 --> 0:01:41.320
<v Speaker 1>did the same thing, Ronald Reagan did the same thing.

0:01:42.560 --> 0:01:47.080
<v Speaker 1>Even Barack Obama and Bill Clinton did it occasionally. That's

0:01:47.120 --> 0:01:51.960
<v Speaker 1>not a sign of dementia. The attacks are relentless, they

0:01:51.960 --> 0:01:56.440
<v Speaker 1>are ferocious, They are unfair, they are mean, and they

0:01:56.480 --> 0:02:00.640
<v Speaker 1>are cruel. There is no morality, There is no decency.

0:02:00.720 --> 0:02:06.040
<v Speaker 1>There is no restraint within the MAGA extremist cause they

0:02:06.040 --> 0:02:10.680
<v Speaker 1>will do anything to take power. If they will burn

0:02:10.760 --> 0:02:14.800
<v Speaker 1>down the constitution of the United States, if they will

0:02:14.840 --> 0:02:19.160
<v Speaker 1>incite an insurrection, if they will deny the results of

0:02:19.200 --> 0:02:23.320
<v Speaker 1>an election, they will not have a problem smearing the

0:02:23.360 --> 0:02:30.600
<v Speaker 1>president on this question. Every time the Biden team has

0:02:30.639 --> 0:02:36.120
<v Speaker 1>an opportunity to communicate to the American people, they must

0:02:36.120 --> 0:02:42.120
<v Speaker 1>take it. The President must be seen leading, and he

0:02:42.760 --> 0:02:49.120
<v Speaker 1>must take the fight to Donald Trump. This campaign cannot

0:02:49.120 --> 0:02:54.400
<v Speaker 1>be about Joe Biden. It must be a choice between

0:02:54.480 --> 0:03:03.360
<v Speaker 1>America and insanity, between America and Trump, between good versus bad,

0:03:04.240 --> 0:03:10.080
<v Speaker 1>between honest versus dishonest. Donald Trump is a loathsome figure.

0:03:10.800 --> 0:03:14.920
<v Speaker 1>He's a liar. He has been convicted of sexual assault,

0:03:15.639 --> 0:03:19.920
<v Speaker 1>he has been charged with ninety two felonies, and yet

0:03:20.960 --> 0:03:25.000
<v Speaker 1>he is in a position to be elected president again,

0:03:25.760 --> 0:03:29.919
<v Speaker 1>and if it happens, it will be a catastrophe for

0:03:30.000 --> 0:03:34.320
<v Speaker 1>the United States and the whole of the world. It

0:03:34.400 --> 0:03:39.760
<v Speaker 1>must not happen, and the number one way to prevent

0:03:39.800 --> 0:03:43.840
<v Speaker 1>it from happening is for Joe Biden to take the

0:03:43.880 --> 0:03:50.000
<v Speaker 1>fight to Donald Trump every single chance he gets. And

0:03:50.040 --> 0:03:54.120
<v Speaker 1>the fact that they passed up this chance on Super

0:03:54.160 --> 0:03:58.720
<v Speaker 1>Bowl Sunday is a big mistake. And the problem with

0:03:58.840 --> 0:04:03.960
<v Speaker 1>mistakes is that in a presidential campaign, they tend to accumulate,

0:04:04.600 --> 0:04:09.160
<v Speaker 1>pile up, and in the end they can lead to defeat.

0:04:10.640 --> 0:04:15.160
<v Speaker 1>This is not a race that America can afford to lose.

0:04:16.200 --> 0:04:20.039
<v Speaker 1>So the president needs to be in the fight seven

0:04:20.360 --> 0:04:24.760
<v Speaker 1>days a week. Thank you for listening to my political commentary.
