Speaker 1: It started a donkey, I mean, trying to be donkey
Speaker 1: today more.
Speaker 2: They should be embarrassed by what they already did. I'm
Speaker 2: not making these people do these.
Speaker 1: Days called donkey of the day, and it really caught
Speaker 1: me off guard.
Speaker 2: Damn Charlamagne the.
Speaker 3: Donkey out of day to day.
Speaker 2: Wow, just hilarious.
Speaker 1: Donkey Today for Wednesday, July tenth goes to George Stephanopolis
Speaker 1: of ABC News. George is a former White House Communications director. He's,
Speaker 1: of course the TV commentator political commentator. You see him
Speaker 1: every morning with Robin Roberts and Michael screenhan on Good
Speaker 1: Morning America. He's a fantastic journalist, one of the best
Speaker 1: out there, and that's why it pains me to see
Speaker 1: someone like him have to apologize for saying exactly how
Speaker 1: he feels when what he said actually needs to be said.
Speaker 2: See TMZ obtained video.
Speaker 1: Of George out and about working out in the streets
Speaker 1: of New York City when a random pedestrian approached him
Speaker 1: and fresh off the heels of an interview George did
Speaker 1: with President Biden, an interview that was supposed to clean
Speaker 1: up the mess Biden made at his debate against Trump.
Speaker 1: The pedestrian asked the question that a lot of Americans
Speaker 1: are asking. That question is simply, do you think Biden
Speaker 1: should step down? Well, George replied with something the American
Speaker 1: people don't get too often.
Speaker 2: And that's an honest answer. Let's listen, what do you think?
Speaker 2: Do you think Biden should step down? You talked to
Speaker 2: him more than anybody else have lately, and.
Speaker 3: You could be answer for more years?
Speaker 2: You don't think you can serve four more years? All right?
Speaker 2: That's an answer. Nothing wrong with that answer.
Speaker 1: If folks don't feel like, you know, Biden can serve
Speaker 1: four more years, if folks don't feel like Biden can win,
Speaker 1: if folks don't feel like he's physically or mentally capable of,
Speaker 1: you know, serving four more years, and they should say
Speaker 1: that because I've been asking a simple question four over
Speaker 1: a year now. Is the Biden Harris ticket a winnable
Speaker 1: ticket in twenty twenty four?
Speaker 2: Most of the polling I'm seeing says no.
Speaker 1: So, whether you are a high ranking Democrat and a
Speaker 1: party or a pundit on TV, you cannot lie to
Speaker 1: the American people about what they see and feel. You
Speaker 1: don't gain the trust of people like that. The reason
Speaker 1: this man in the street as George about Biden was
Speaker 1: because George has been up close in person with Biden.
Speaker 2: He just spoke to him.
Speaker 1: So it is beyond damaging to hear George say that
Speaker 1: he doesn't feel President Biden can do four more years.
Speaker 1: But the follow up question for George should have been, well,
Speaker 1: who are you going to vote for? I can almost
Speaker 1: guarantee George would say Biden. Because George gives a damn
Speaker 1: about democracy. I'm sure the pedestrian would say to George, well,
Speaker 1: if you don't think he can serve four more years,
Speaker 1: why are you voting for him. George's answer would probably
Speaker 1: be because these are our choices, Okay, Trump and Biden,
Speaker 1: So I have to choose one. Are you can choose
Speaker 1: to stay home? I can guarantee you a former senior
Speaker 1: advisor to the Democratic Party is not going to stay home.
Speaker 2: Now.
Speaker 1: Why is George getting Donkey of the day Because yesterday, okay, George,
Speaker 1: Stephanophlis apologized for his comment on Joe Biden's second term
Speaker 1: White House chances.
Speaker 2: In a statement obtained by.
Speaker 1: NBC News, George said, earlier today, I responded to a
Speaker 1: question from a passer by. I shouldn't have ABC News
Speaker 1: also said in the statement, George expressed his own point
Speaker 1: of view and the position of ABC News. You know,
Speaker 1: it just bothers me because journalists like George.
Speaker 2: Are people we trust. Okay, they're people we trust.
Speaker 1: So if George thinks Biden, you know, you know, can't
Speaker 1: serve another four years, you know, he should be allowed
Speaker 1: to say it and deal with whatever backlash comes with that.
Speaker 1: But truthfully, it shouldn't be any backlash because we should
Speaker 1: appreciate a journalist like George telling the truth.
Speaker 2: Journalists like George owe.
Speaker 1: Us the truth, and when the truth is spoken, the
Speaker 1: Biden campaign should adjust accordingly. The Democratic Party needs to
Speaker 1: adjust accordingly. The only person making George feel like Biden
Speaker 1: can't serve another four years is Joe Biden. And the
Speaker 1: only person who has to convince the American people people
Speaker 1: they are capable of running for four more years is
Speaker 1: Joe Biden. And if Joe Biden is sitting down with
Speaker 1: folks like George and George walks away.
Speaker 2: Feeling like he can't serve another four years, guess whose
Speaker 2: fault that is? President Biden and his campaign.
Speaker 1: If folks don't think that ticket can win, then damn it.
Speaker 1: Put together a plan that changes people's minds, because if
Speaker 1: you're losing November because you choose to ignore poles, more importantly,
Speaker 1: you choose to ignore the feelings of the people, then
Speaker 1: that is your fault. Okay, And I'm giving George donkey
Speaker 1: today because the only reason he backed off those remarks
Speaker 1: is because I guarant damn t the White House threatened
Speaker 1: ABC with no access if they didn't. I know how
Speaker 1: this works, They know how damaging what George said about
Speaker 1: President Biden was. So someone made a call and he said,
Speaker 1: if y'all don't walk this back, we will never sit
Speaker 1: with ABC News ever again. All access to the White
Speaker 1: House and the President and the Vice President will be denied, guaranteed.
Speaker 1: That's what happened. And that's a damn shame that people
Speaker 1: would go to those links to suppress the truth. And
Speaker 1: that is what discourages people in regards to this whole
Speaker 1: voting thing. You don't lie to people and attempt to
Speaker 1: forenest people and pee on people's leg and telling miss raining.
Speaker 2: Just tell me the truth because I already have eyes
Speaker 2: and ears.
Speaker 1: Okay, y'all don't want Biden to drop out, fine, y'all
Speaker 1: don't want Vice President Harris at the top.
Speaker 2: Of the ticket.
Speaker 1: But don't lie to me about how you feel in
Speaker 1: regard to this eighty one year old man. If you
Speaker 1: don't think he can serve another four years, cool, Thank
Speaker 1: you for confirming what I already believed. But I also
Speaker 1: know I only got two choices in this coming election.
Speaker 1: So now that you told me you don't think he
Speaker 1: can serve another four years, tell me why I should
Speaker 1: vote for him anyway. Hey, Trump passed thirty four felony convictions,
Speaker 1: charges of fraud, election subversion, obstruction. Okay, he let an
Speaker 1: attempt to cool his country, and he's the primary architect
Speaker 1: of an institution that has no longer legitimate called the
Speaker 1: Supreme Court. He selected three of those corrupt ask judges
Speaker 1: that have abolished Roby Wade, that have made it legal
Speaker 1: for state and local officials they accept bribes, and made
Speaker 1: presidents immune the criminal prosecution for official acts in office.
Speaker 1: With all that, people still feel like they're gonna vote
Speaker 1: for Trump anyway. So you mean to tell me that
Speaker 1: folks can't handle the truth about Joe Biden Joe Biden
Speaker 1: and still vote for him in spite of They.
Speaker 2: Can look past all of that with Trump, but not
Speaker 2: for Biden.
Speaker 1: This is what I mean when I say Republicans are
Speaker 1: more sincere about their lives than Democrats are about their truth.
Speaker 1: Republicans have no problem saying, so what keep it moving? Meanwhile,
Speaker 1: George Stephanopolis tells the truth, and now he has to
Speaker 1: apologize for it instead of being on Good Morning America
Speaker 1: this morning having a discussion about why he feels Biden
Speaker 1: can't serve four more years, but also why he's probably.
Speaker 2: Gonna vote for him anyway.
Speaker 1: Please give George stephanophilis the sweet sounds of the Hamiltons.
Speaker 3: You, Oh the day, Oh the day. Ye.
Speaker 1: I'm starting to think y'all purposely turn up the heat
Speaker 1: when I do donkey today for some reason. Loving I
Speaker 1: think that's what it is. They want to see me
Speaker 1: do the fans, That's what it is. It's be perfectly
Speaker 1: fine in here. You got on a blanket and I'm
Speaker 1: over here burning up.
Speaker 2: What's going on that side of the row and V
Speaker 2: always giving somebody on with the the little shaw.
Speaker 1: I drink my water and my juice, and I get
Speaker 1: cold in the morning, I get a little chili, so
Speaker 1: I just put on my little Oh that's menopause. Bring
Speaker 1: us no they do something with this heat the way
Speaker 1: to heat the menause. But most Dominican men do get
Speaker 1: menopause around after forty five.
Speaker 2: I'm not Dominican.
Speaker 1: These don't the Dominican man gonna call up like, no,
Speaker 1: we don't, don't do all that.
Speaker 2: All right, Well, thank you for that.
