WEBVTT - PANIC Continues: Democrats are Freaking, Pressuring Biden to Drop Out 0:00:01.280 --> 0:00:01.720 Welcome. 0:00:01.760 --> 0:00:04.439 It is a verdict with center, Ted Cruz, Ben Ferguson 0:00:04.440 --> 0:00:06.400 with you, and I hope you had a fabulous fourth 0:00:06.440 --> 0:00:09.680 of July. And it was a interesting fourth of July 0:00:09.800 --> 0:00:12.680 at the White House. Now the White House saying that 0:00:12.840 --> 0:00:17.160 the President did see a doctor days after the debate, 0:00:17.320 --> 0:00:20.040 and they're also saying we ain't dropping out at least 0:00:20.120 --> 0:00:20.680 as of now. 0:00:21.680 --> 0:00:23.639 Well, let me first of all say, for the fourth 0:00:23.680 --> 0:00:28.280 of July, Happy birthday America. What an incredible country we 0:00:28.360 --> 0:00:31.280 live in. What an extraordinary nation. I think, the most 0:00:31.320 --> 0:00:34.520 consequential nation in the history of the world. I think 0:00:34.680 --> 0:00:38.760 we were built with God's blessing, with divine providence. I 0:00:38.760 --> 0:00:41.640 think America has been a force for good, for freedom, 0:00:41.680 --> 0:00:47.560 for liberation, for peace, the greatest force for liberation, peace 0:00:47.640 --> 0:00:50.159 and justice on the face of the earth. And so 0:00:50.360 --> 0:00:52.840 July fourth is a great time to celebrate our nation, 0:00:53.400 --> 0:00:59.040 to hug your children, to eat hot dogs and hamburgers 0:00:59.040 --> 0:01:02.080 and backyard barberue, thank you, and play with your kids 0:01:02.120 --> 0:01:05.360 and lovely. So that's number one. I hope your fourth 0:01:05.520 --> 0:01:10.679 was fantastic. But number two, politics continues to roll on, 0:01:10.920 --> 0:01:15.280 and in particular we're in day eight now of debate 0:01:15.400 --> 0:01:19.959 mcgeddon the aftermath of the most consequential presidential debate in 0:01:20.000 --> 0:01:24.360 American history eight days ago, the night of the debate, 0:01:24.840 --> 0:01:28.600 Ben and I did a special podcast that evening. That evening, 0:01:28.640 --> 0:01:33.880 we discussed how the disastrous performance from Joe Biden demonstrated 0:01:33.880 --> 0:01:35.880 to the world this man is not fit to be 0:01:35.920 --> 0:01:38.760 commander in chief. For many people, that raised the question 0:01:38.840 --> 0:01:41.280 whether he was fit to tie his own shoes or 0:01:41.319 --> 0:01:45.360 to drive an automobile. My prediction then, and that's what 0:01:45.440 --> 0:01:48.800 I said the night of the debate, I think the 0:01:48.840 --> 0:01:53.760 odds have risen to eighty percent that the Democrats will 0:01:53.920 --> 0:01:57.840 pull Joe Biden off the ticket, They will abandon him 0:01:57.840 --> 0:02:02.919 as their candidate, and they will place him with Michelle Obama. 0:02:03.040 --> 0:02:05.360 This is something that I had predicted nine months ago. 0:02:05.560 --> 0:02:08.080 Nine months ago, I said it was a possibility, it 0:02:08.120 --> 0:02:11.240 was a real possibility. I now think the odds are 0:02:11.280 --> 0:02:13.720 greater than eighty percent. And I also made another prediction 0:02:13.800 --> 0:02:16.760 on Thursday night. I said I thought it was likely 0:02:16.800 --> 0:02:20.520 to happen within the next twenty one days. We are 0:02:20.560 --> 0:02:23.480 on day eight today. That means we have thirteen more 0:02:23.560 --> 0:02:26.520 days within the window of when they are likely to 0:02:26.600 --> 0:02:29.240 do it. And I think We're seeing every day growing 0:02:29.280 --> 0:02:32.919 momentum as more and more Democrats are jumping ship and 0:02:33.000 --> 0:02:34.560 saying we got to do something different. 0:02:34.880 --> 0:02:37.840 Yeah, and the excuses are getting truly incredible. We're going 0:02:37.919 --> 0:02:40.359 to play one of them in just a moment that 0:02:40.480 --> 0:02:43.760 deals with jet lag as the new excuse about why 0:02:43.760 --> 0:02:46.640 he had a bad debate night. Before I tell you 0:02:46.680 --> 0:02:49.440 about that, I want to remind you about what's going 0:02:49.480 --> 0:02:52.760 on in Israel. The people in Israel right now still 0:02:52.919 --> 0:02:57.480 very much desperately need your help. They are absolutely under attack, 0:02:58.000 --> 0:03:01.639 this time with a massive rocket attack came in from Hesbla. 0:03:01.720 --> 0:03:05.120 Since October the seventh, attacks on Israel have increased with 0:03:05.200 --> 0:03:09.320 a Ran and its proxies launching attack after attack, hundreds 0:03:09.320 --> 0:03:13.560 and hundreds of drones and missiles. Israel and the Israeli 0:03:13.600 --> 0:03:16.880 people are living with the harsh reality of terror every day, 0:03:17.320 --> 0:03:20.280 and the need right now is bomb shelters. The International 0:03:20.280 --> 0:03:23.119 Fellowship of Christians and Jews is on the ground right 0:03:23.160 --> 0:03:27.000 now addressing all the urgent needs. And that's why I 0:03:27.120 --> 0:03:31.160 want you to partner with IFCJ today. While praying for 0:03:31.200 --> 0:03:34.240 the best, IFCJ is also preparing for the worst by 0:03:34.320 --> 0:03:38.120 packing emergency bomb shelter kits that can be delivered immediately 0:03:38.160 --> 0:03:41.160 to those in desperate need, and your life saving donation 0:03:41.240 --> 0:03:43.760 today will help assemble and place these kits with enough 0:03:43.800 --> 0:03:48.080 food and life saving emergency supplies for twenty people huddled 0:03:48.120 --> 0:03:51.080 in a bomb shelter. The cost to put together and 0:03:51.120 --> 0:03:54.280 distribute these kits is just two hundred and ninety dollars, 0:03:54.640 --> 0:03:57.920 and your gift will help save lives. And thanks to 0:03:58.000 --> 0:04:02.560 a matching challenge from a generous IFC supporter, your gift 0:04:02.600 --> 0:04:06.680 will be doubled in impact to help provide twice the support. Now, 0:04:06.720 --> 0:04:09.160 all you have to do is call them triple eight 0:04:09.720 --> 0:04:14.960 for eight eight IFCJ. That's eight eight eight for eight 0:04:15.040 --> 0:04:20.200 eight IFCJ eight A eight for eight eight IFCJ. You 0:04:20.200 --> 0:04:24.760 can also go online to support IFCJ dot org to 0:04:24.839 --> 0:04:30.159 give that's one word, support IFCJ dot org to stand 0:04:30.200 --> 0:04:33.400 with the people in Israel. I mentioned a moment ago 0:04:33.640 --> 0:04:37.000 that this White House is floundering on a level I 0:04:37.080 --> 0:04:40.520 didn't even know was imaginable in their response to this debate. 0:04:40.560 --> 0:04:42.919 And every time you think they can't get any worse, 0:04:43.360 --> 0:04:46.200 they then do something that is even more incompetent in 0:04:46.240 --> 0:04:46.960 the response. 0:04:47.400 --> 0:04:49.320 I want to play for you Center. This. 0:04:49.320 --> 0:04:52.919 This is the White House Press secretary floating the idea 0:04:53.040 --> 0:04:55.120 that the reason why Joe Biden had a bad night 0:04:55.200 --> 0:04:58.719 the other night is that he was suffering from jet 0:04:58.839 --> 0:05:04.280 lag almost two two weeks, fourteen days after traveling. Here 0:05:04.320 --> 0:05:06.520 is the White House Press secretary trying to sell this 0:05:06.600 --> 0:05:07.640 to the American people. 0:05:08.480 --> 0:05:12.160 Okay, thank you. There's no question that international travel can 0:05:12.160 --> 0:05:15.320 be rigorous. I think the confusion is that he's still 0:05:15.360 --> 0:05:18.160 suffering from the effects of that nearly two weeks later. 0:05:18.560 --> 0:05:22.240 So he articulated a little bit about like, do you 0:05:22.279 --> 0:05:25.440 guys usually have accommodations for him after he does a trip, 0:05:25.920 --> 0:05:28.599 that he's going to have jetlag for that long a 0:05:28.640 --> 0:05:29.560 period of time. 0:05:29.600 --> 0:05:31.800 So can you can you when you say two weeks later, 0:05:31.839 --> 0:05:32.800 what do you mean the debate? 0:05:32.839 --> 0:05:35.680 He arrives back in the United States twelve or thirteen 0:05:35.760 --> 0:05:38.400 days before the debate, So his explanation for a for 0:05:38.560 --> 0:05:40.400 debate performance is jetlag. 0:05:40.640 --> 0:05:43.560 So what I want to say is it's the jet 0:05:43.640 --> 0:05:47.080 lag and also the cold, Right. It is the two things, 0:05:47.920 --> 0:05:51.919 and that occurred, and you all heard it in his 0:05:52.040 --> 0:05:54.680 voice when he did the debate, right, And it is 0:05:54.720 --> 0:05:56.920 not even something that we shared ahead of time. You 0:05:57.120 --> 0:05:59.720 heard it in his voice and we confirmed it, and 0:05:59.800 --> 0:06:01.919 I think that's important to note as well, like it 0:06:02.000 --> 0:06:04.719 is the jet lag and the cold. But I want 0:06:04.720 --> 0:06:06.360 to be really I want to be really clear here. 0:06:06.720 --> 0:06:09.279 This is not an excuse, right, This is not an excuse. 0:06:09.360 --> 0:06:11.680 You all asked for an explanation, and we get we're 0:06:11.720 --> 0:06:14.400 giving it an explanation. It is not an excuse. I 0:06:14.440 --> 0:06:17.640 don't want that to be the leading piece of this 0:06:18.600 --> 0:06:20.599 ask for the only reason we're sharing this because it 0:06:20.640 --> 0:06:22.840 was asked of me here and the President certainly wanted 0:06:22.880 --> 0:06:26.159 to give an explanation himself, and that's what he did yesterday. 0:06:26.720 --> 0:06:30.720 We want to We understand that it wasn't his best night. 0:06:31.160 --> 0:06:34.400 It wasn't a great debate. We understand that, and we 0:06:34.600 --> 0:06:37.960 understand what supporters saw, what the American people saw, and 0:06:38.000 --> 0:06:40.400 what you all saw, and so we wanted to give 0:06:40.440 --> 0:06:42.840 an explanation. So I don't want to get into this 0:06:43.480 --> 0:06:46.040 or are you giving this excuse? Not an excuse, We're 0:06:46.200 --> 0:06:50.080 giving you what our explanation was. We want to continue 0:06:50.520 --> 0:06:53.440 to make sure that we do everything that we can 0:06:54.160 --> 0:06:56.200 to deliver for the American people. That's what we're going 0:06:56.240 --> 0:06:57.479 to continue to want it. 0:06:57.760 --> 0:07:01.360 I mean Senator, you hear this, we're just you ask. 0:07:01.480 --> 0:07:04.800 So we're just telling you fourteen days after international travel, 0:07:04.880 --> 0:07:06.560 the president was suffering from jetwag. 0:07:06.640 --> 0:07:07.520 So there's the story. 0:07:09.400 --> 0:07:09.600 You know. 0:07:09.640 --> 0:07:12.040 I got to say every time I hear kareein John Pierre, 0:07:12.320 --> 0:07:15.680 I think she is the opposite of William Jefferson Clinton. 0:07:16.560 --> 0:07:20.320 William Jefferson Clinton, you'll recall, was referred to as an 0:07:20.480 --> 0:07:24.760 unusually good liar that he could lie and it was believable, 0:07:24.840 --> 0:07:27.720 and he'd bite his lip and he'd you know, pointed, 0:07:28.160 --> 0:07:31.119 pushes thumb together, and you just you believed he felt 0:07:31.160 --> 0:07:35.120 your pain. He could lie better than anyone. I think 0:07:35.200 --> 0:07:40.000 Kareem John Pierre is an unusually bad liar. Like when 0:07:40.040 --> 0:07:44.360 she does it, it's laughably false. One of the things 0:07:44.360 --> 0:07:46.000 if you're going to be in a job as a 0:07:46.000 --> 0:07:50.480 media hack and trying to spend people, typically you learn 0:07:50.600 --> 0:07:54.240 not to tell just brazen lies that are absurd. When 0:07:54.320 --> 0:07:57.400 Kareean John Pierre stood in the White House Press briefing 0:07:57.480 --> 0:07:59.720 room and said, you know, people are not just coming 0:07:59.760 --> 0:08:02.320 across the border. It's not happening. They're not walking across 0:08:02.320 --> 0:08:05.679 the border, it doesn't happen. That was such a wild 0:08:05.800 --> 0:08:08.280 lie literally every reporter could pull up on their phone 0:08:08.440 --> 0:08:12.200 videos of it happening while she was talking. That's a 0:08:12.200 --> 0:08:16.360 bad lie here. This jetlag thing is a really bad lie. 0:08:16.400 --> 0:08:20.680 Like anyone who's actually flown internationally. Look, jetlag is a 0:08:20.680 --> 0:08:23.680 sith thing. It's a reasonable thing. You feel it a 0:08:23.840 --> 0:08:27.880 day maybe two when you fly from one place to 0:08:27.920 --> 0:08:29.440 the other. You know, he was in Europe. He was 0:08:29.440 --> 0:08:32.640 there for Normandy. I was there for Normandy. I got 0:08:32.679 --> 0:08:34.760 to say the idea that I'd be complaining now you 0:08:34.840 --> 0:08:37.520 know I've still got jetlag because several weeks ago I 0:08:37.600 --> 0:08:42.920 was in Europe. That's just obviously stupid. And they don't 0:08:42.960 --> 0:08:46.080 want the explanation to be the explanation that every person 0:08:46.160 --> 0:08:49.160 with eyeballs and common sense saw, which is this is 0:08:49.200 --> 0:08:52.880 an old man who's suffering from dementia. That's the answer. 0:08:52.880 --> 0:08:54.679 And so well, you know he wasn't a plane a 0:08:54.679 --> 0:08:58.040 few weeks earlier. Let's call it jetlag. Yeah, yeah, maybe 0:08:58.040 --> 0:08:59.640 people out there are dumb enough to believe that. 0:09:00.320 --> 0:09:02.480 Well, and they went on TV like a full court 0:09:02.600 --> 0:09:05.800 press to try to sell this at the White House. 0:09:05.880 --> 0:09:08.680 This was another one of their interviews outside of Jean Pierre, 0:09:08.679 --> 0:09:10.760 where they're like all right, guys, everybody got on TV 0:09:10.840 --> 0:09:12.760 and sell that the president is jet lagged. 0:09:12.880 --> 0:09:16.079 Apparently, the President apologized to everyone in the room saying, 0:09:16.480 --> 0:09:18.840 this is not an excuse, but it is an explanation, 0:09:19.320 --> 0:09:22.839 and he blamed the extensive foreign travel that he did 0:09:23.080 --> 0:09:25.400 in the lead up to the CNN debate for his 0:09:25.480 --> 0:09:28.480 poor performance. Just a reminder for everyone. He did go 0:09:28.520 --> 0:09:31.040 to France for the D Day anniversary, and then he 0:09:31.080 --> 0:09:33.200 turned right back around and went to Italy for the 0:09:33.240 --> 0:09:36.120 G seven summit. And he told the room, I didn't 0:09:36.120 --> 0:09:38.560 listen to my staff, so the suggestion there being his 0:09:38.600 --> 0:09:40.960 staff did not think this was a good idea. And 0:09:41.000 --> 0:09:45.320 then he apparently said I almost fell asleep on stage. 0:09:45.600 --> 0:09:47.120 I just want to unpack this. 0:09:47.080 --> 0:09:50.640 New explanation for a second as the explanation for why 0:09:50.679 --> 0:09:53.600 his debate performance was so bad. I find it a 0:09:53.600 --> 0:09:56.200 little bit puzzling, and frankly, I'm not sure that a 0:09:56.200 --> 0:09:59.040 lot of people are going to find this reassuring. If anything, 0:09:59.480 --> 0:10:03.720 some folks might hear this and be even more concerned. Yes, 0:10:03.800 --> 0:10:05.960 there were two foreign trips in the lead up to 0:10:06.320 --> 0:10:09.760 the June twenty seventh CNN debate, but he returned from 0:10:09.800 --> 0:10:12.680 Italy on June fifteenth. The debate again was on June 0:10:12.720 --> 0:10:15.920 twenty seven, so we're talking about roughly twelve days in 0:10:15.960 --> 0:10:18.800 between when he was back in the States. And remember 0:10:18.960 --> 0:10:21.480 a part of those twelve days, about a full week, 0:10:21.679 --> 0:10:24.560 he actually spent with his advisors at Camp David for 0:10:24.640 --> 0:10:27.960 the sole purpose of really focusing on debate preps. So 0:10:28.440 --> 0:10:31.920 why is the president falling asleep on the debate stage 0:10:32.200 --> 0:10:34.760 at the hours of nine pm to ten thirty? 0:10:35.800 --> 0:10:37.880 I can't believe by the way that CNN saying that 0:10:38.440 --> 0:10:40.520 they have all turned on him, like they have just 0:10:40.679 --> 0:10:43.240 completely turned on him. With Mjlee, they're saying, I find 0:10:43.280 --> 0:10:46.200 it a little bit puzzling that this guy's at Camp 0:10:46.280 --> 0:10:48.800 David for a whole week and you've done debate preps. 0:10:48.800 --> 0:10:51.280 So let's pull back the curtain on that. When you've 0:10:51.280 --> 0:10:53.839 done your most vigorous debate prep, Senator, and I've been 0:10:53.880 --> 0:10:56.800 blessed to be in several different debate preps for different 0:10:56.840 --> 0:11:00.160 major races, it doesn't last twelve hours a day, are 0:11:00.200 --> 0:11:02.240 the ones I've done. Certainly not for seven days straight. 0:11:02.280 --> 0:11:04.560 It's usually two or three hours of intense debate prep 0:11:04.559 --> 0:11:05.920 and then you take a legit break. 0:11:06.920 --> 0:11:07.160 Yeah. 0:11:07.200 --> 0:11:09.319 Look, and I've never done a week of debate prep. 0:11:09.360 --> 0:11:11.160 Typically what I do debate prep, it is one to 0:11:11.200 --> 0:11:13.160 two days. Is what's involved. 0:11:13.679 --> 0:11:13.880 You know. 0:11:13.960 --> 0:11:16.520 The irony of the of their jet lag explanation is 0:11:16.520 --> 0:11:18.319 the fact that we know he spent a week at 0:11:18.320 --> 0:11:21.960 Camp David where the only thing on the plate was 0:11:21.960 --> 0:11:25.320 getting ready for debate prep. And I am certain he 0:11:25.480 --> 0:11:28.839 slept a lot of hours that week, and listen, he 0:11:28.880 --> 0:11:31.679 should one of the things I do for debate prep. 0:11:31.720 --> 0:11:33.560 You know, you know there are studies that have been done. 0:11:33.600 --> 0:11:35.319 This is something when I was arguing cases at the 0:11:35.360 --> 0:11:38.960 Supreme Court, I looked at there were medical studies that 0:11:39.000 --> 0:11:43.160 are done that show the more sleep you get, the 0:11:43.320 --> 0:11:48.120 faster your brain thinks, the faster your neurons fire. Before 0:11:48.120 --> 0:11:52.280 a Supreme Court argument, I used to the night before 0:11:52.440 --> 0:11:54.920 try to get nine to ten hours sleep, which is 0:11:54.920 --> 0:11:57.480 a lot more sleep. I typically get six to seven 0:11:57.520 --> 0:12:00.800 hours sleep a night. Before a Supreme Court argument, I 0:12:00.840 --> 0:12:03.200 would try to get nine to ten hours sleep a night, 0:12:03.800 --> 0:12:06.160 and I'd do that both the night before the argument, 0:12:06.679 --> 0:12:09.000 and I'd do that two nights before the argument. 0:12:09.080 --> 0:12:10.760 The reason two nights before the argument. 0:12:11.760 --> 0:12:15.000 Years ago in college, I used to teach at Princeton 0:12:15.000 --> 0:12:19.840 Review the test prep class that helped students. I taught 0:12:19.880 --> 0:12:22.920 the SAT and I taught the l SAT, and when 0:12:22.920 --> 0:12:25.400 I was teaching at Princeton Review, we would teach teach 0:12:25.440 --> 0:12:27.720 students to do the same thing. Get a ton of 0:12:27.760 --> 0:12:30.559 sleep the night before your exam, and get a ton 0:12:30.600 --> 0:12:34.240 of sleep two nights before your exam, because there's scientific 0:12:34.280 --> 0:12:37.600 studies that show the sleep you get two nights before 0:12:37.640 --> 0:12:40.960 an event affects your brain speed. And what I found 0:12:41.480 --> 0:12:43.880 in Supreme Court arguments is that if I had two 0:12:44.000 --> 0:12:47.240 nights of supercharging sleep, nine to ten hours of sleep, 0:12:47.400 --> 0:12:50.080 two nights in a row, that when I'd stand up 0:12:50.120 --> 0:12:53.360 there for the argument at the podium, my brain was 0:12:53.360 --> 0:12:56.200 a half second faster, a half second quicker to respond 0:12:56.280 --> 0:12:58.880 to a question, to think about a line of argument, 0:12:58.920 --> 0:13:02.319 to anticipate where the other side was going, to anticipate 0:13:02.360 --> 0:13:06.040 where a justice was going. When I prepare for political debates, 0:13:06.040 --> 0:13:08.240 I do the same thing. I try to have two 0:13:08.360 --> 0:13:11.400 nights of nine to ten hours sleep the two nights before, 0:13:11.440 --> 0:13:14.120 and it makes a real difference. Your brain is fast 0:13:14.160 --> 0:13:18.360 and quick. Biden had an entire week where he could sleep. 0:13:18.400 --> 0:13:21.040 He could have slept twelve hours a day every day 0:13:21.080 --> 0:13:23.480 for a week, and so the idea that they're saying, well, yeah, 0:13:23.480 --> 0:13:25.720 but two weeks earlier, he was on a plane, so 0:13:25.760 --> 0:13:26.520 it's jetlag. 0:13:27.960 --> 0:13:29.960 Nobody who's ever flown an airplane believes that. 0:13:31.080 --> 0:13:34.000 There's also this big interview that's about to take place, 0:13:34.200 --> 0:13:37.600 and it's become actually even bigger since when you and 0:13:37.640 --> 0:13:41.000 I mentioned it. There is George Stepanopolis, and I think 0:13:41.000 --> 0:13:43.520 we should remind people who he is. He is a 0:13:43.600 --> 0:13:46.559 hardcore lefty that acts like he's now some sort of journalist, 0:13:46.640 --> 0:13:49.720 even though he was best known for defending Bill Clinton 0:13:49.720 --> 0:13:51.520 and giving Bill Clinton some of the best spin lines 0:13:51.559 --> 0:13:52.160 in history. 0:13:52.520 --> 0:13:54.080 It's the friendliest person I look. 0:13:54.120 --> 0:13:58.520 He was basically Kareem John Pierre for Bill Clinton. Yeah, 0:13:58.520 --> 0:14:01.160 he was a press staffer, staffer. He was in the 0:14:01.200 --> 0:14:03.280 White House. He was on the Clinton White House staff. 0:14:03.480 --> 0:14:06.000 I think his title is communications director. So he wasn't 0:14:06.040 --> 0:14:08.760 actually the press secretary, but he was the press flack. 0:14:08.840 --> 0:14:11.560 He was the person, he was the Jensaki. He was 0:14:11.600 --> 0:14:14.760 the one who was in charge of communications for Bill 0:14:14.760 --> 0:14:17.360 Clinton for years. He was very close to Bill Clinton. 0:14:17.640 --> 0:14:21.560 And then he jumped over, as many dem communication hacks do, 0:14:21.800 --> 0:14:24.320 they leave that role and they jump over and they 0:14:24.320 --> 0:14:27.840 become like Jensaki, they get their own show. Well, George 0:14:27.840 --> 0:14:32.200 Stephanopoulos went from being the official spokesperson for the Democratic 0:14:32.280 --> 0:14:37.560 president to being at abs ABC acting as effectively the 0:14:37.560 --> 0:14:39.960 official spokesperson for the Democrat president. 0:14:40.600 --> 0:14:42.880 And he's the guy that's going to get this interview. 0:14:42.960 --> 0:14:47.280 We now have word that they've decided to change this 0:14:47.400 --> 0:14:52.600 interview to a quote prime time special on Friday night 0:14:52.920 --> 0:14:57.560 to save in essence. I think his presidency and Democrats 0:14:57.600 --> 0:15:01.600 aren't even buying that. MSNBC and one of the hardcore 0:15:01.760 --> 0:15:05.840 lefties out there, Debbie Dingle, she said this on MSNBC 0:15:06.320 --> 0:15:07.280 on July fourth. 0:15:07.680 --> 0:15:12.080 They've been after Joe Biden all week. So he's got 0:15:12.160 --> 0:15:13.720 one thing to do, which is to get up and 0:15:13.760 --> 0:15:15.800 go out to prove to people that he can do 0:15:15.840 --> 0:15:16.200 the job. 0:15:16.280 --> 0:15:17.200 We'll do the job, and. 0:15:17.200 --> 0:15:19.600 Has the stamina. Took too long to make some of 0:15:19.600 --> 0:15:21.400 the phone calls he showed up. I think he's in 0:15:21.440 --> 0:15:25.600 a bubble wrap. I'm men Seamen's dad, and I think 0:15:25.600 --> 0:15:27.760 he's starting to do what he has to do. One 0:15:27.800 --> 0:15:29.880 interview tomorrow, he's not going to fix this. 0:15:30.560 --> 0:15:34.880 One interview tomorrow is quote not going to fix this. 0:15:34.880 --> 0:15:37.479 This is one of the most extreme lefties on MSNBC 0:15:37.640 --> 0:15:38.080 saying that. 0:15:39.600 --> 0:15:41.760 Well and listen, one of the most revealing things that 0:15:41.840 --> 0:15:46.360 ABC interview is taped. It's not live. If they were 0:15:46.360 --> 0:15:48.760 real journalists, you know what ABC should do. You know 0:15:48.800 --> 0:15:52.760 what George Stephanopolis should insist on doing. The debate was live. 0:15:53.040 --> 0:15:55.360 Let's have this interview be live. The American people need 0:15:55.400 --> 0:15:58.560 to see how you answer real time, which means we ABC, 0:15:59.400 --> 0:16:01.880 We're not going to edit out when you stare blankly 0:16:01.960 --> 0:16:03.640 out at the wall and don't know what I say. 0:16:03.640 --> 0:16:05.960 We're not going to edit out when you stumble. The 0:16:06.080 --> 0:16:09.480 fact that it is taped means that George Stephanopolis can 0:16:09.520 --> 0:16:12.200 go in and say, okay, oh, this exchange looked really 0:16:12.240 --> 0:16:13.120 bad for Joe Biden. 0:16:13.360 --> 0:16:14.480 Let's cut that out. Hmm. 0:16:14.960 --> 0:16:17.480 Okay, he's staring off at the ceiling and doesn't know 0:16:17.520 --> 0:16:20.440 what's going on. Let's definitely not air that. And let's 0:16:20.480 --> 0:16:25.000 find snippets where he seems cogin and let's piece them together. Now, 0:16:25.600 --> 0:16:30.520 if George Stephanopolis was wearing his hat as Democrat operative 0:16:31.000 --> 0:16:34.440 putting together a TV campaign for Biden, that would be 0:16:34.440 --> 0:16:37.479 a reasonable thing to do. But he's at least pretending 0:16:37.520 --> 0:16:40.800 to be a journalist, and ABC is pretending to be 0:16:40.840 --> 0:16:45.280 an actual news organization, and so anyone who actually cares 0:16:45.320 --> 0:16:48.800 about journalism or news should insist the thing be live. 0:16:49.200 --> 0:16:51.800 Let the American people see how he acts in real time. 0:16:52.920 --> 0:16:55.080 Let's take a step back from this, and I want 0:16:55.120 --> 0:16:57.040 to ask you another question. You and I actually haven't 0:16:57.040 --> 0:17:01.320 even talked about this yet, so I'm intrigued to know 0:17:01.360 --> 0:17:03.800 what you think, and that is, are we going to 0:17:03.880 --> 0:17:08.760 look back weeks, months, years from now and are we 0:17:08.960 --> 0:17:12.359 gonna look at this moment in history and say, was 0:17:12.440 --> 0:17:16.639 this the biggest political cover up in history? That we 0:17:16.760 --> 0:17:23.320 had an incapacitated president, that the American people were sheltered from, 0:17:23.359 --> 0:17:26.360 that the White House was covering for and lying for, 0:17:26.480 --> 0:17:29.600 that the media was covering for and lying for. I 0:17:29.720 --> 0:17:33.160 go back to November, Okay, not that long ago. White 0:17:33.160 --> 0:17:36.040 House pres Secretory Jean Pierre said this to the American people. 0:17:36.240 --> 0:17:41.000 I would put the president's domina, president's wisdom ability to 0:17:41.000 --> 0:17:45.880 get this done on behalf of the American people against anyone, 0:17:46.320 --> 0:17:47.720 anyone on any day. 0:17:47.600 --> 0:17:48.080 Of the week. 0:17:48.440 --> 0:17:51.560 I mean that was that was November, Senator, And I 0:17:51.600 --> 0:17:54.240 think this is one of the biggest polists. 0:17:53.840 --> 0:17:55.240 That she's really witness. 0:17:55.440 --> 0:17:57.439 Yes, she is a really bad liar, But I mean 0:17:57.600 --> 0:17:59.680 this is this is one of the biggest political cover 0:17:59.760 --> 0:18:01.000 ups I've ever witnessed. 0:18:02.560 --> 0:18:03.080 Yes and no. 0:18:04.119 --> 0:18:06.199 Of course it's a cover up. Of course everyone is 0:18:06.240 --> 0:18:09.040 complicit in. And of course the Democrats all know and 0:18:09.080 --> 0:18:11.520 they're lying. Of course the media all know and they're lying. 0:18:12.440 --> 0:18:14.440 But at the same time, it's not a cover up. 0:18:15.280 --> 0:18:18.960 Anyone whose head is not plunged into the sand. You 0:18:19.080 --> 0:18:21.560 knew before the debate last week that Joe Biden was 0:18:21.600 --> 0:18:26.000 mentally incapacitated. You knew that it was obvious. Anyone who's 0:18:26.040 --> 0:18:31.120 ever had an elderly relative, a loved one, dealing with dementia, 0:18:31.200 --> 0:18:35.120 dealing with Alzheimer's, You've seen that distant look, that shuffle, 0:18:35.160 --> 0:18:39.400 that look of confusion. We see that every week. It's obvious. Look, 0:18:39.440 --> 0:18:41.760 we've never seen a president do what Joe Biden does, 0:18:41.760 --> 0:18:45.240 which is not talked to anyone in the Senate. In 0:18:45.320 --> 0:18:47.840 three and a half years, I've had no conversations with 0:18:47.960 --> 0:18:51.240 Joe Biden. He has had no conversations with virtually any 0:18:51.480 --> 0:18:54.000 Republican senator. We sit around at lunch and talk about 0:18:54.000 --> 0:18:58.280 how weird that is because a major part of the 0:18:58.400 --> 0:19:00.640 job being in the Senate is dealing with the President, 0:19:00.680 --> 0:19:06.240 working with the president. You know, just over a month ago, 0:19:06.359 --> 0:19:10.600 I passed the FA Reauthorization Bill. That is a huge bill, 0:19:10.680 --> 0:19:15.399 one hundred and ten billion dollars investment in infrastructure, in 0:19:15.520 --> 0:19:20.480 safety for aviation, Enhancing safety for the flying public, Hiring 0:19:20.520 --> 0:19:23.560 new air traffic controllers to keep people safe when they fly, 0:19:24.280 --> 0:19:29.440 Investing billions in airports, putting collision detection technology on runways 0:19:29.440 --> 0:19:34.679 to keep people safe, also expanding competition. Just Texas alone, 0:19:34.760 --> 0:19:38.920 hundreds of thousands of jobs depend upon aviation. We have 0:19:39.160 --> 0:19:44.600 major airlines based in Texas. Millions of jobs depend indirectly 0:19:44.640 --> 0:19:48.159 on aviation. It was a huge bipartisan victory. I was 0:19:48.200 --> 0:19:51.639 the lead author along with Maria Cantwell. We passed it, 0:19:51.680 --> 0:19:53.919 We passed it on the floor of the Senate eighty 0:19:53.920 --> 0:19:57.399 eight to ford. Includes within it, finally, finally, finally, a 0:19:57.520 --> 0:20:02.560 direct flight from San Antonio to Reagan Washington National Airport, 0:20:02.640 --> 0:20:06.000 something San Antonio that entire community has been fighting for 0:20:06.000 --> 0:20:09.639 for twenty years. That was a victory I wrote into law, 0:20:09.680 --> 0:20:12.280 and we want it now. You know what would normally 0:20:12.359 --> 0:20:16.040 happen when you pass major bipartisan legislation. 0:20:16.440 --> 0:20:19.040 I'm assuming you'd say the President might get in contact with. 0:20:19.040 --> 0:20:23.560 You, you'd have a signing ceremony. In a typical, normal 0:20:23.680 --> 0:20:29.320 functioning administration when there's big bipartisan legislation, the next step 0:20:29.800 --> 0:20:31.880 is the White House contacts you and says we're gonna 0:20:31.920 --> 0:20:35.440 have a signing ceremony. The signing ceremony, you go. Both 0:20:35.440 --> 0:20:37.760 the Democrats and Republicans who are the authors of the 0:20:37.760 --> 0:20:40.800 bill go and the President signs the bill into law 0:20:40.880 --> 0:20:42.919 in the Oval office, and there are people there'd be 0:20:43.240 --> 0:20:46.080 in this instance, you would have people from the airlines there. 0:20:46.119 --> 0:20:49.280 You'd have people from airports there, You'd have the pilots 0:20:49.359 --> 0:20:51.920 unions there, you'd have the flight attendance unions there, You'd 0:20:51.920 --> 0:20:55.520 have everyone impacted by the bill there in the Oval office. 0:20:55.520 --> 0:20:58.680 I've been to a lot of signing ceremonies. It's pretty typical. 0:20:58.960 --> 0:21:00.560 You know what the Biden White House said. 0:21:00.600 --> 0:21:03.159 Well, I wouldn't even be surprised. They didn't even know 0:21:03.200 --> 0:21:04.119 you guys were doing it. 0:21:04.440 --> 0:21:07.199 Oh no, no, they knew. They knew, and Biden signed the 0:21:07.200 --> 0:21:09.800
