I'm 4 00:00:06,840 --> 00:00:07,920 Speaker 2: not making these people do these. 5 00:00:07,840 --> 00:00:10,840 Speaker 1: Days called donkey of the day, and it really caught 6 00:00:10,880 --> 00:00:11,560 Speaker 1: me off guard. 7 00:00:11,680 --> 00:00:13,680 Speaker 2: Damn Charlamagne the. 8 00:00:13,680 --> 00:00:15,080 Speaker 3: Donkey out of day to day. 9 00:00:15,560 --> 00:00:16,760 Speaker 2: Wow, just hilarious. 10 00:00:16,800 --> 00:00:20,240 Speaker 1: Donkey Today for Wednesday, July tenth goes to George Stephanopolis 11 00:00:20,680 --> 00:00:25,360 Speaker 1: of ABC News. George is a former White House Communications director. He's, 12 00:00:25,360 --> 00:00:28,320 Speaker 1: of course the TV commentator political commentator. You see him 13 00:00:28,320 --> 00:00:30,480 Speaker 1: every morning with Robin Roberts and Michael screenhan on Good 14 00:00:30,480 --> 00:00:32,879 Speaker 1: Morning America. He's a fantastic journalist, one of the best 15 00:00:32,920 --> 00:00:35,200 Speaker 1: out there, and that's why it pains me to see 16 00:00:35,240 --> 00:00:38,919 Speaker 1: someone like him have to apologize for saying exactly how 17 00:00:38,960 --> 00:00:42,240 Speaker 1: he feels when what he said actually needs to be said. 18 00:00:42,560 --> 00:00:44,159 Speaker 2: See TMZ obtained video. 19 00:00:44,040 --> 00:00:46,560 Speaker 1: Of George out and about working out in the streets 20 00:00:46,600 --> 00:00:49,000 Speaker 1: of New York City when a random pedestrian approached him 21 00:00:49,280 --> 00:00:51,519 Speaker 1: and fresh off the heels of an interview George did 22 00:00:51,560 --> 00:00:54,040 Speaker 1: with President Biden, an interview that was supposed to clean 23 00:00:54,120 --> 00:00:56,920 Speaker 1: up the mess Biden made at his debate against Trump. 24 00:00:57,120 --> 00:00:59,360 Speaker 1: The pedestrian asked the question that a lot of Americans 25 00:00:59,400 --> 00:01:02,400 Speaker 1: are asking. That question is simply, do you think Biden 26 00:01:02,400 --> 00:01:05,480 Speaker 1: should step down? Well, George replied with something the American 27 00:01:05,520 --> 00:01:07,280 Speaker 1: people don't get too often. 28 00:01:07,319 --> 00:01:10,920 Speaker 2: And that's an honest answer. Let's listen, what do you think? 29 00:01:10,959 --> 00:01:14,240 Speaker 2: Do you think Biden should step down? You talked to 30 00:01:14,319 --> 00:01:16,240 Speaker 2: him more than anybody else have lately, and. 31 00:01:16,200 --> 00:01:17,880 Speaker 3: You could be answer for more years? 32 00:01:17,920 --> 00:01:20,119 Speaker 2: You don't think you can serve four more years? All right? 33 00:01:20,400 --> 00:01:23,480 Speaker 2: That's an answer. Nothing wrong with that answer. 34 00:01:24,200 --> 00:01:27,560 Speaker 1: If folks don't feel like, you know, Biden can serve 35 00:01:27,640 --> 00:01:30,039 Speaker 1: four more years, if folks don't feel like Biden can win, 36 00:01:30,080 --> 00:01:32,840 Speaker 1: if folks don't feel like he's physically or mentally capable of, 37 00:01:33,160 --> 00:01:35,200 Speaker 1: you know, serving four more years, and they should say 38 00:01:35,240 --> 00:01:38,000 Speaker 1: that because I've been asking a simple question four over 39 00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:40,640 Speaker 1: a year now. Is the Biden Harris ticket a winnable 40 00:01:40,640 --> 00:01:42,000 Speaker 1: ticket in twenty twenty four? 41 00:01:42,080 --> 00:01:43,679 Speaker 2: Most of the polling I'm seeing says no. 42 00:01:43,800 --> 00:01:46,360 Speaker 1: So, whether you are a high ranking Democrat and a 43 00:01:46,440 --> 00:01:48,840 Speaker 1: party or a pundit on TV, you cannot lie to 44 00:01:48,880 --> 00:01:51,560 Speaker 1: the American people about what they see and feel. You 45 00:01:51,600 --> 00:01:54,279 Speaker 1: don't gain the trust of people like that. The reason 46 00:01:54,360 --> 00:01:57,320 Speaker 1: this man in the street as George about Biden was 47 00:01:57,360 --> 00:02:00,760 Speaker 1: because George has been up close in person with Biden. 48 00:02:00,800 --> 00:02:02,120 Speaker 2: He just spoke to him. 49 00:02:02,400 --> 00:02:06,600 Speaker 1: So it is beyond damaging to hear George say that 50 00:02:06,640 --> 00:02:09,120 Speaker 1: he doesn't feel President Biden can do four more years. 51 00:02:09,120 --> 00:02:12,239 Speaker 1: But the follow up question for George should have been, well, 52 00:02:12,360 --> 00:02:14,240 Speaker 1: who are you going to vote for? I can almost 53 00:02:14,280 --> 00:02:17,560 Speaker 1: guarantee George would say Biden. Because George gives a damn 54 00:02:17,560 --> 00:02:20,680 Speaker 1: about democracy. I'm sure the pedestrian would say to George, well, 55 00:02:20,680 --> 00:02:22,320 Speaker 1: if you don't think he can serve four more years, 56 00:02:22,320 --> 00:02:24,800 Speaker 1: why are you voting for him. George's answer would probably 57 00:02:24,800 --> 00:02:27,840 Speaker 1: be because these are our choices, Okay, Trump and Biden, 58 00:02:27,880 --> 00:02:30,520 Speaker 1: So I have to choose one. Are you can choose 59 00:02:30,560 --> 00:02:33,200 Speaker 1: to stay home? I can guarantee you a former senior 60 00:02:33,240 --> 00:02:36,760 Speaker 1: advisor to the Democratic Party is not going to stay home. 61 00:02:36,800 --> 00:02:36,960 Speaker 2: Now. 62 00:02:36,960 --> 00:02:40,919 Speaker 1: Why is George getting Donkey of the day Because yesterday, okay, George, 63 00:02:40,919 --> 00:02:45,200 Speaker 1: Stephanophlis apologized for his comment on Joe Biden's second term 64 00:02:45,240 --> 00:02:46,200 Speaker 1: White House chances. 65 00:02:46,200 --> 00:02:47,519 Speaker 2: In a statement obtained by. 66 00:02:47,440 --> 00:02:51,440 Speaker 1: NBC News, George said, earlier today, I responded to a 67 00:02:51,520 --> 00:02:55,720 Speaker 1: question from a passer by. I shouldn't have ABC News 68 00:02:55,800 --> 00:02:59,040 Speaker 1: also said in the statement, George expressed his own point 69 00:02:59,080 --> 00:03:02,480 Speaker 1: of view and the position of ABC News. You know, 70 00:03:02,520 --> 00:03:06,160 Speaker 1: it just bothers me because journalists like George. 71 00:03:05,720 --> 00:03:10,560 Speaker 2: Are people we trust. Okay, they're people we trust. 72 00:03:10,680 --> 00:03:13,840 Speaker 1: So if George thinks Biden, you know, you know, can't 73 00:03:13,840 --> 00:03:17,280 Speaker 1: serve another four years, you know, he should be allowed 74 00:03:17,440 --> 00:03:20,079 Speaker 1: to say it and deal with whatever backlash comes with that. 75 00:03:20,160 --> 00:03:22,720 Speaker 1: But truthfully, it shouldn't be any backlash because we should 76 00:03:22,720 --> 00:03:24,959 Speaker 1: appreciate a journalist like George telling the truth. 77 00:03:25,120 --> 00:03:26,600 Speaker 2: Journalists like George owe. 78 00:03:26,480 --> 00:03:28,600 Speaker 1: Us the truth, and when the truth is spoken, the 79 00:03:28,680 --> 00:03:32,760 Speaker 1: Biden campaign should adjust accordingly. The Democratic Party needs to 80 00:03:32,800 --> 00:03:36,040 Speaker 1: adjust accordingly. The only person making George feel like Biden 81 00:03:36,240 --> 00:03:39,000 Speaker 1: can't serve another four years is Joe Biden. And the 82 00:03:39,040 --> 00:03:41,600 Speaker 1: only person who has to convince the American people people 83 00:03:41,720 --> 00:03:44,120 Speaker 1: they are capable of running for four more years is 84 00:03:44,240 --> 00:03:47,040 Speaker 1: Joe Biden. And if Joe Biden is sitting down with 85 00:03:47,120 --> 00:03:49,240 Speaker 1: folks like George and George walks away. 86 00:03:49,040 --> 00:03:51,760 Speaker 2: Feeling like he can't serve another four years, guess whose 87 00:03:51,760 --> 00:03:55,080 Speaker 2: fault that is? President Biden and his campaign. 88 00:03:55,280 --> 00:03:58,280 Speaker 1: If folks don't think that ticket can win, then damn it. 89 00:03:58,320 --> 00:04:01,600 Speaker 1: Put together a plan that changes people's minds, because if 90 00:04:01,640 --> 00:04:05,640 Speaker 1: you're losing November because you choose to ignore poles, more importantly, 91 00:04:05,800 --> 00:04:08,240 Speaker 1: you choose to ignore the feelings of the people, then 92 00:04:08,320 --> 00:04:12,920 Speaker 1: that is your fault. Okay, And I'm giving George donkey 93 00:04:13,000 --> 00:04:15,680 Speaker 1: today because the only reason he backed off those remarks 94 00:04:15,840 --> 00:04:20,000 Speaker 1: is because I guarant damn t the White House threatened 95 00:04:20,080 --> 00:04:23,120 Speaker 1: ABC with no access if they didn't. I know how 96 00:04:23,160 --> 00:04:26,280 Speaker 1: this works, They know how damaging what George said about 97 00:04:26,320 --> 00:04:28,720 Speaker 1: President Biden was. So someone made a call and he said, 98 00:04:28,760 --> 00:04:30,960 Speaker 1: if y'all don't walk this back, we will never sit 99 00:04:31,120 --> 00:04:33,800 Speaker 1: with ABC News ever again. All access to the White 100 00:04:33,839 --> 00:04:37,159 Speaker 1: House and the President and the Vice President will be denied, guaranteed. 101 00:04:37,480 --> 00:04:39,760 Speaker 1: That's what happened. And that's a damn shame that people 102 00:04:39,800 --> 00:04:42,240 Speaker 1: would go to those links to suppress the truth. And 103 00:04:42,279 --> 00:04:45,960 Speaker 1: that is what discourages people in regards to this whole 104 00:04:46,040 --> 00:04:48,880 Speaker 1: voting thing. You don't lie to people and attempt to 105 00:04:48,880 --> 00:04:51,560 Speaker 1: forenest people and pee on people's leg and telling miss raining. 106 00:04:51,839 --> 00:04:54,240 Speaker 2: Just tell me the truth because I already have eyes 107 00:04:54,240 --> 00:04:54,760 Speaker 2: and ears. 108 00:04:54,800 --> 00:04:57,640 Speaker 1: Okay, y'all don't want Biden to drop out, fine, y'all 109 00:04:57,680 --> 00:04:59,520 Speaker 1: don't want Vice President Harris at the top. 110 00:04:59,400 --> 00:04:59,839 Speaker 2: Of the ticket. 111 00:05:00,360 --> 00:05:02,560 Speaker 1: But don't lie to me about how you feel in 112 00:05:02,600 --> 00:05:04,919 Speaker 1: regard to this eighty one year old man.
