1 00:00:01,120 --> 00:00:04,440 Speaker 1: He ain't going anywhere. That is the word that we 2 00:00:04,519 --> 00:00:07,600 Speaker 1: are getting this morning about the President of the United 3 00:00:07,680 --> 00:00:10,920 Speaker 1: States of America making it very clear that he is 4 00:00:11,000 --> 00:00:15,640 Speaker 1: not dropping out of the race. Here is what Simone 5 00:00:15,760 --> 00:00:19,560 Speaker 1: Sanders is saying about all of this and the concerns 6 00:00:19,600 --> 00:00:20,360 Speaker 1: they now have. 7 00:00:21,040 --> 00:00:22,720 Speaker 2: Simone Sanders, what are you hearing? 8 00:00:23,079 --> 00:00:26,800 Speaker 3: Look what I'm hearing from? Well, it depends on who 9 00:00:26,800 --> 00:00:28,600 Speaker 3: we're talking to make it to be honest, when you 10 00:00:28,640 --> 00:00:33,320 Speaker 3: talk to strategists and operatives, not folks that work for 11 00:00:33,440 --> 00:00:35,879 Speaker 3: the Biden campaign or in the White House, but outside 12 00:00:35,920 --> 00:00:39,519 Speaker 3: of that elected officials, right the political professionals, donors, they 13 00:00:39,520 --> 00:00:43,519 Speaker 3: are echoing some of the same things that Eugene has 14 00:00:43,720 --> 00:00:46,800 Speaker 3: noted in his piece that we're all hearing that they 15 00:00:46,800 --> 00:00:48,400 Speaker 3: are concerned, that they want to hear more from the 16 00:00:48,400 --> 00:00:50,519 Speaker 3: White House, that they want to see the president do 17 00:00:50,680 --> 00:00:52,960 Speaker 3: a town hall, do more interviews, they want to see 18 00:00:53,040 --> 00:00:56,920 Speaker 3: him more. But then when I talk to non political professionals, 19 00:00:56,960 --> 00:00:58,840 Speaker 3: if you will, as I like to say, every day, 20 00:00:58,920 --> 00:01:01,840 Speaker 3: regular folks who don't do this every day, they look 21 00:01:01,840 --> 00:01:05,039 Speaker 3: at this and say, in Melissa MraY and I talked 22 00:01:05,000 --> 00:01:08,319 Speaker 3: to black women in Montgomery County just this weekend on Sunday, 23 00:01:08,600 --> 00:01:10,360 Speaker 3: and they all said, I asked, we asked him about 24 00:01:10,360 --> 00:01:13,200 Speaker 3: the debate. They said the debate, they it wasn't good 25 00:01:13,400 --> 00:01:17,040 Speaker 3: for Trump or Joe Biden. But the women who were 26 00:01:17,040 --> 00:01:20,600 Speaker 3: supportive of the president in that room said, look at 27 00:01:20,600 --> 00:01:22,880 Speaker 3: this point, we can't get anyone else. There was someone 28 00:01:22,880 --> 00:01:26,000 Speaker 3: that noted, we should stand by our guy. There was 29 00:01:26,040 --> 00:01:29,520 Speaker 3: someone else that noted, how realistic is this talk of 30 00:01:29,840 --> 00:01:34,280 Speaker 3: removing him? And they were more concerned with the broader picture. 31 00:01:35,000 --> 00:01:37,840 Speaker 3: And they also, unprompted, brought up democracy and the Supreme Court. 32 00:01:38,080 --> 00:01:40,560 Speaker 3: So I would just argue that the best way for 33 00:01:40,720 --> 00:01:44,000 Speaker 3: the Biden campaign to really they won't be able to 34 00:01:44,000 --> 00:01:46,160 Speaker 3: stop the talk because the chatter is going to continue, 35 00:01:46,160 --> 00:01:48,760 Speaker 3: because every single thing that the president does between now 36 00:01:48,760 --> 00:01:51,560 Speaker 3: and November is going to be parsed every single which way. 37 00:01:51,840 --> 00:01:54,240 Speaker 3: If he if he stumbles walking, if he walks a 38 00:01:54,240 --> 00:01:56,080 Speaker 3: little too slow, if he walks a little too fast, 39 00:01:56,400 --> 00:01:58,320 Speaker 3: you know, if he forgets a word, every single thing 40 00:01:58,360 --> 00:02:00,120 Speaker 3: is going to be a view through the prison of 41 00:02:00,160 --> 00:02:02,240 Speaker 3: what happened on that debate stage. So the chatter will 42 00:02:02,240 --> 00:02:05,040 Speaker 3: not end. But I think a way to really blunt 43 00:02:05,120 --> 00:02:09,040 Speaker 3: some of the criticism is in fact too you know, 44 00:02:09,800 --> 00:02:12,040 Speaker 3: let the president put the president out there in various 45 00:02:12,080 --> 00:02:15,400 Speaker 3: ways in which that you know he will shine. And again, 46 00:02:15,440 --> 00:02:17,880 Speaker 3: I think town halls, doing things with voters, real people, 47 00:02:17,880 --> 00:02:20,639 Speaker 3: where he is answering questions from regular folks, will make 48 00:02:20,639 --> 00:02:24,200 Speaker 3: the difference. And I do think the President could right 49 00:02:24,280 --> 00:02:26,200 Speaker 3: to that occasion. And I will just lastly say that 50 00:02:27,080 --> 00:02:30,880 Speaker 3: I think we have all heard chatter inside. And I 51 00:02:31,000 --> 00:02:35,359 Speaker 3: was struck by that Washington Post reporting about concerns that 52 00:02:35,480 --> 00:02:38,320 Speaker 3: folks said that they had about the president's health. The 53 00:02:38,360 --> 00:02:40,520 Speaker 3: last time I saw the president, he seemed and looked 54 00:02:40,560 --> 00:02:42,600 Speaker 3: fine to me. But yes, on that debate stage, it 55 00:02:42,720 --> 00:02:46,119 Speaker 3: was not a good performance. And so the only way 56 00:02:46,120 --> 00:02:49,200 Speaker 3: to assuage people's concerns is to let them see for themselves. 57 00:02:49,639 --> 00:02:52,440 Speaker 3: And Joe Biden, I believe, thinks that he is his 58 00:02:52,480 --> 00:02:55,640 Speaker 3: best political consultant. And I'm interested to see what the 59 00:02:55,639 --> 00:02:57,320 Speaker 3: President decides to do this week. 60 00:02:58,240 --> 00:02:58,800 Speaker 4: Wow. 61 00:02:59,200 --> 00:03:02,880 Speaker 1: So now, if you are talking about the president's health, 62 00:03:03,400 --> 00:03:07,320 Speaker 1: it's more that you are quote concerned, You just have concerns. 63 00:03:07,360 --> 00:03:12,720 Speaker 1: You are concerned, You're very concerned. It's not about the country, 64 00:03:12,800 --> 00:03:16,480 Speaker 1: it's about him personally. That's how they're spinning this now. 65 00:03:16,520 --> 00:03:18,920 Speaker 1: Simone Sanders who, by the way, used to work for 66 00:03:18,960 --> 00:03:21,720 Speaker 1: this president in this White House and the first lady. 67 00:03:23,200 --> 00:03:26,240 Speaker 1: I think it's pretty obvious from what she just said 68 00:03:26,280 --> 00:03:31,720 Speaker 1: there she is not that concerned with the president. She's 69 00:03:31,919 --> 00:03:35,000 Speaker 1: ready for him to move on. Let me say that again. 70 00:03:35,400 --> 00:03:40,440 Speaker 1: She's ready for him to move on. She's ready to say, 71 00:03:40,680 --> 00:03:43,560 Speaker 1: let's go to the next thing, whatever that next thing is. 72 00:03:43,720 --> 00:03:48,560 Speaker 1: She's ready to go to that next thing. This is 73 00:03:50,000 --> 00:03:54,280 Speaker 1: not shocking, I want to be clear about that. But 74 00:03:54,600 --> 00:03:57,600 Speaker 1: the way that she articulated it, I also think is 75 00:03:57,640 --> 00:04:04,160 Speaker 1: important because they're not giving in yet to replacing Joe Biden. 76 00:04:04,160 --> 00:04:07,880 Speaker 1: They're not rallying behind Joe Biden the way that she 77 00:04:08,040 --> 00:04:10,440 Speaker 1: just described it. And I think that's a pretty obvious 78 00:04:10,480 --> 00:04:13,680 Speaker 1: point that that she's making, like, Hey, I'm I'm not 79 00:04:13,840 --> 00:04:17,920 Speaker 1: I'm not giving in here to trying to force him 80 00:04:17,960 --> 00:04:22,080 Speaker 1: out the door. They understand how big of a liability 81 00:04:22,080 --> 00:04:28,560 Speaker 1: he is, and they understand not just what a liability 82 00:04:29,160 --> 00:04:33,920 Speaker 1: that he is, but I think they also understand that 83 00:04:34,120 --> 00:04:38,040 Speaker 1: this is a moment where they can't just say, Okay, 84 00:04:38,080 --> 00:04:41,320 Speaker 1: he's gonna stay, so we're gonna accept it. We've got 85 00:04:41,320 --> 00:04:44,120 Speaker 1: to figure out some sort of Jedi mind trick to 86 00:04:44,160 --> 00:04:47,840 Speaker 1: convince him, We're just concerned about your health. Like it's 87 00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:51,800 Speaker 1: really just your health. That's all it is. It is 88 00:04:52,040 --> 00:04:57,400 Speaker 1: just your health. We're just worried, We're just concerned. We 89 00:04:57,600 --> 00:05:00,680 Speaker 1: just want you to be healthy. We're just trying. I mean, 90 00:05:00,680 --> 00:05:05,440 Speaker 1: I mean the rhetoric there was next level pr and 91 00:05:05,880 --> 00:05:08,400 Speaker 1: and if you are the president, units it's America and 92 00:05:08,480 --> 00:05:13,839 Speaker 1: you're watching this happened in real time, I would think 93 00:05:13,880 --> 00:05:16,560 Speaker 1: you would feel very much like you are under attack. 94 00:05:18,080 --> 00:05:21,280 Speaker 1: There was a Washington Post op ed by Eugene Robinson 95 00:05:22,080 --> 00:05:26,440 Speaker 1: and it was entitled This Morning, Biden's twenty twenty four 96 00:05:26,520 --> 00:05:30,000 Speaker 1: survival requires a lot more than hope. Now, they always 97 00:05:30,040 --> 00:05:32,560 Speaker 1: go back to motions of hope and change, right, Like 98 00:05:32,960 --> 00:05:35,320 Speaker 1: that's how Democrats now get elected. They don't actually tell 99 00:05:35,320 --> 00:05:37,280 Speaker 1: you they're going to do anything specifically. They just give 100 00:05:37,320 --> 00:05:40,320 Speaker 1: you these Kumbaya moments. I want you to listen to 101 00:05:40,400 --> 00:05:44,760 Speaker 1: Eugene Robinson and what he said on MSNBC about the president. 102 00:05:44,800 --> 00:05:47,720 Speaker 1: His assessment after writing this op ed for the Washington 103 00:05:47,760 --> 00:05:51,360 Speaker 1: Post that Biden's twenty twenty four survival requires a lot 104 00:05:51,440 --> 00:05:52,920 Speaker 1: more than just hope. 105 00:05:54,279 --> 00:05:57,760 Speaker 4: Well, look, I think he needs to do everything he 106 00:05:57,920 --> 00:06:02,400 Speaker 4: can to reverse the the impression, the clear impression that 107 00:06:02,520 --> 00:06:05,320 Speaker 4: was that was left by that debate five days ago, 108 00:06:05,440 --> 00:06:10,120 Speaker 4: that debate on Thursday. Because you know, I have I've 109 00:06:10,160 --> 00:06:12,240 Speaker 4: been coming on the show for a long time. I 110 00:06:12,279 --> 00:06:17,760 Speaker 4: am a longtime critic of Democratic bed wedding. I don't 111 00:06:18,279 --> 00:06:22,159 Speaker 4: you know, I think it's it's crazy A lot of 112 00:06:22,200 --> 00:06:26,640 Speaker 4: the time. I think this is different. I think a 113 00:06:26,640 --> 00:06:30,560 Speaker 4: lot of Democrats were shocked by what they saw Thursday night, 114 00:06:31,800 --> 00:06:36,360 Speaker 4: and I think this this sort of hunkering down and saying, 115 00:06:36,640 --> 00:06:40,400 Speaker 4: you know, nothing to say, nothing to see here. You know, 116 00:06:40,680 --> 00:06:44,120 Speaker 4: the polling is unchanged. They set out that memo over 117 00:06:44,160 --> 00:06:47,280 Speaker 4: the over the weekend saying the polling is unchanged. So 118 00:06:47,320 --> 00:06:51,360 Speaker 4: it didn't really hurt us, but that's internal polling focusing 119 00:06:51,520 --> 00:06:57,000 Speaker 4: on the swing states that actually shows him trailing Donald 120 00:06:57,040 --> 00:07:01,360 Speaker 4: Trump by a slight margin, uh you know, within the 121 00:07:01,360 --> 00:07:04,360 Speaker 4: margin of error. But nonetheless it shows him behind Trump 122 00:07:04,800 --> 00:07:08,919 Speaker 4: in these states. And so sending out a memo saying, look, 123 00:07:09,080 --> 00:07:13,360 Speaker 4: we're still behind, but we're not behind any worse is 124 00:07:13,400 --> 00:07:17,960 Speaker 4: not exactly the best ad for for your campaign. And 125 00:07:18,000 --> 00:07:22,200 Speaker 4: so why, you know, why isn't he calling Schumer and 126 00:07:22,400 --> 00:07:28,360 Speaker 4: Jeffries and why isn't he doing some sort of unscripted 127 00:07:29,160 --> 00:07:35,480 Speaker 4: appearance that shows that that erases the oppression that was 128 00:07:35,600 --> 00:07:39,320 Speaker 4: very clearly left Thursday night. I think this is this 129 00:07:39,440 --> 00:07:43,320 Speaker 4: is potentially a really big problem for the Democratic Party, 130 00:07:44,040 --> 00:07:48,480 Speaker 4: for Biden's reelection campaign. And I think, you know, I 131 00:07:48,480 --> 00:07:52,320 Speaker 4: think Democrats are our right to send up the alarm. 132 00:07:52,840 --> 00:07:55,400 Speaker 1: I think Democrats are right to send the arm. This 133 00:07:55,600 --> 00:07:58,560 Speaker 1: is again nine one one. This is a nine to 134 00:07:58,560 --> 00:08:02,880 Speaker 1: one one plea, as it was described by him, You've 135 00:08:02,880 --> 00:08:05,360 Speaker 1: got to do things differently to assure people you're okay. 136 00:08:05,440 --> 00:08:08,880 Speaker 1: You're not doing any of them, probably because you're incapable 137 00:08:08,960 --> 00:08:14,480 Speaker 1: or incapacitated from doing it. And so that's on you, right, Like, 138 00:08:15,000 --> 00:08:19,320 Speaker 1: that's straight up on you. I'm sorry. I look at 139 00:08:19,360 --> 00:08:24,720 Speaker 1: this and hear what he's saying, and looking at the 140 00:08:24,760 --> 00:08:29,239 Speaker 1: White House, there is a civil war that is not brewing. 141 00:08:29,360 --> 00:08:33,040 Speaker 1: It is an all out war now, all out war 142 00:08:33,760 --> 00:08:37,400 Speaker 1: between the Democratic Party. Many of those are running for 143 00:08:37,679 --> 00:08:41,160 Speaker 1: election right now are very very very very very concerned 144 00:08:41,600 --> 00:08:43,360 Speaker 1: that he is going to drag down the ticket. Now 145 00:08:43,400 --> 00:08:45,880 Speaker 1: they're going to point to that polling that was just mentioned. Wow, 146 00:08:45,920 --> 00:08:49,520 Speaker 1: the polls are unchanged. Look, I'm actually not surprised that 147 00:08:49,600 --> 00:08:54,760 Speaker 1: the polls are changed because even if you hate even 148 00:08:54,960 --> 00:08:59,320 Speaker 1: if you hate Donald Trump and you can't stand what 149 00:08:59,440 --> 00:09:03,240 Speaker 1: Joe Biden did the other night, I am still not 150 00:09:03,480 --> 00:09:07,640 Speaker 1: sure that you're going to change your vote if you 151 00:09:07,760 --> 00:09:12,080 Speaker 1: think that he is a total disaster, okay, like like 152 00:09:12,160 --> 00:09:17,880 Speaker 1: a complete and utter disaster. Are you going to switch 153 00:09:17,880 --> 00:09:20,920 Speaker 1: your vote to Donald Trump? I don't think you are. 154 00:09:21,120 --> 00:09:24,920 Speaker 1: We are a tribal country right now. You're a Democrat 155 00:09:25,040 --> 00:09:27,680 Speaker 1: or you're a Republican. There's really no in between. You're 156 00:09:27,720 --> 00:09:30,920 Speaker 1: one and or the other. There is no in between. 157 00:09:31,559 --> 00:09:33,880 Speaker 1: I said a moment ago that we are tribal, right, 158 00:09:33,920 --> 00:09:36,720 Speaker 1: we are just so tribal, and we are. We are 159 00:09:36,720 --> 00:09:39,760 Speaker 1: incredibly tribal. And and that means if you're a Democrat, 160 00:09:39,840 --> 00:09:41,559 Speaker 1: damn it, you're a Democrat. If you're a Republican, you're 161 00:09:41,559 --> 00:09:45,000 Speaker 1: a Republican. And there's no in between. You're not going anywhere. 162 00:09:45,120 --> 00:09:47,440 Speaker 1: And even if your guy sucks, you're probably gonna stick 163 00:09:47,480 --> 00:09:49,400 Speaker 1: with him or just not show up and vote. That's 164 00:09:49,760 --> 00:09:53,600 Speaker 1: that's how they're looking at this. Okay, let me just 165 00:09:54,400 --> 00:09:58,240 Speaker 1: describe this for you so you understand. And I think 166 00:09:58,240 --> 00:10:01,720 Speaker 1: this is an important point to me here. You look 167 00:10:01,760 --> 00:10:04,199 Speaker 1: at the new polling number that's out. There's a new 168 00:10:04,240 --> 00:10:08,760 Speaker 1: poll that came out says six and ten Americans who 169 00:10:08,840 --> 00:10:13,160 Speaker 1: wants the debate quote don't think Biden can complete another term. 170 00:10:13,280 --> 00:10:16,160 Speaker 1: I don't think. I can't believe that number isn't ten 171 00:10:16,160 --> 00:10:20,160 Speaker 1: out of ten. I mean four years from now, you 172 00:10:20,240 --> 00:10:22,480 Speaker 1: really think that guy and I'm not I don't mean 173 00:10:22,480 --> 00:10:27,160 Speaker 1: this mean, I'm just being honest. Is gonna be around mentally? 174 00:10:27,400 --> 00:10:29,360 Speaker 1: Let's say it's around. Let's say's it alive like the 175 00:10:29,360 --> 00:10:32,560 Speaker 1: heart's beating. I don't want I don't wish anyone ill will, 176 00:10:32,640 --> 00:10:35,160 Speaker 1: but you can't tell me based on his cognitive decline 177 00:10:35,559 --> 00:10:39,200 Speaker 1: that he's going to be around mentally. A survey released 178 00:10:39,200 --> 00:10:44,720 Speaker 1: by Democratic pollsters BSG and It's provided to Salon found 179 00:10:44,720 --> 00:10:47,600 Speaker 1: that people who watched last week's debate thought Donald Trump 180 00:10:47,600 --> 00:10:49,360 Speaker 1: de better than President Joe Biden by more than a 181 00:10:49,400 --> 00:10:53,080 Speaker 1: two to one margin, with six and ten responding saying 182 00:10:53,080 --> 00:10:55,400 Speaker 1: they don't think the incumbent is likely to finish a 183 00:10:55,520 --> 00:10:58,840 Speaker 1: second four year term in office, but like it. By 184 00:10:58,920 --> 00:11:02,280 Speaker 1: the way, there's no away in the private sector that 185 00:11:02,920 --> 00:11:04,880 Speaker 1: I heart would allow me to do a show if 186 00:11:04,880 --> 00:11:06,959 Speaker 1: I sounded like Joe Biden. The president the other night. 187 00:11:07,320 --> 00:11:09,960 Speaker 1: There are checks and balances in the real world. Like 188 00:11:10,040 --> 00:11:12,360 Speaker 1: if you looked and sounded like Joe Biden the other 189 00:11:12,440 --> 00:11:15,600 Speaker 1: night in your job in the private sector, no one 190 00:11:15,640 --> 00:11:19,200 Speaker 1: would keep a job. You would be fired. So why 191 00:11:19,320 --> 00:11:22,320 Speaker 1: isn't Joe Biden getting fired by his own party? Because 192 00:11:22,559 --> 00:11:26,360 Speaker 1: the Democratic Party is psycho And that's why you still 193 00:11:26,400 --> 00:11:29,160 Speaker 1: have six and ten right who say that means four 194 00:11:29,200 --> 00:11:31,400 Speaker 1: out of ten are saying no, no, no, I think 195 00:11:31,480 --> 00:11:33,000 Speaker 1: Joe Biden, we find I'll be able to finish the 196 00:11:33,040 --> 00:11:35,400 Speaker 1: next job. Like no one in the private sector could 197 00:11:35,480 --> 00:11:40,440 Speaker 1: ever get away with how bad he is doing the 198 00:11:40,559 --> 00:11:43,920 Speaker 1: job right now, much less four years from now. That's 199 00:11:44,040 --> 00:11:46,120 Speaker 1: part of the problem, same thing we talked about yesterday 200 00:11:46,120 --> 00:11:49,040 Speaker 1: with the Wanda Halbert. Like in the private sector, we 201 00:11:49,080 --> 00:11:51,640 Speaker 1: wouldn't have been having the conversation we're having right now 202 00:11:51,640 --> 00:11:54,720 Speaker 1: about getting rid of her and her capacity, that she 203 00:11:54,800 --> 00:11:57,440 Speaker 1: sucks her job so bad that they're the state's having 204 00:11:57,440 --> 00:11:59,360 Speaker 1: to step in and now lawyer's having to step in. 205 00:11:59,640 --> 00:12:01,680 Speaker 1: But when you have worked in a government job, you 206 00:12:01,679 --> 00:12:03,679 Speaker 1: can get away with this crap. That's why some many 207 00:12:03,720 --> 00:12:06,360 Speaker 1: people love working in the government. There's like zero accountability. 208 00:12:06,400 --> 00:12:09,160 Speaker 1: It's virtually impossible to get rid of you, and being 209 00:12:09,200 --> 00:12:12,000 Speaker 1: an elected official, you can keep a job far outside 210 00:12:12,640 --> 00:12:15,120 Speaker 1: of the time that you're useful. This is why I 211 00:12:15,160 --> 00:12:19,280 Speaker 1: refer to so many politicians as useful idiots. Now, the 212 00:12:19,320 --> 00:12:22,160 Speaker 1: poll found viewers of the debate evenly split the two 213 00:12:22,240 --> 00:12:25,360 Speaker 1: candates in the event of an election. See this is 214 00:12:25,400 --> 00:12:27,079 Speaker 1: where I go back to what I said, We've got 215 00:12:27,120 --> 00:12:28,959 Speaker 1: psychos that are tribal, that aren't going to put the 216 00:12:29,000 --> 00:12:31,840 Speaker 1: country first. A majority of the five hundred and nine 217 00:12:31,880 --> 00:12:35,920 Speaker 1: People's survey said they found the rematch frightening fifty six 218 00:12:35,960 --> 00:12:41,280 Speaker 1: percent and sixty three percent referred to it as depressing. 219 00:12:42,400 --> 00:12:45,000 Speaker 1: Some of the forty one percent of the respondents said 220 00:12:45,000 --> 00:12:47,280 Speaker 1: the debate made them less likely to vote for Biden. 221 00:12:48,120 --> 00:12:52,040 Speaker 1: Just thirty percent said that for Trump, so eleven percent 222 00:12:52,080 --> 00:12:55,360 Speaker 1: difference there. In other words, you can lose an election 223 00:12:55,760 --> 00:13:00,480 Speaker 1: by your own team not showing up. Okay, say again, 224 00:13:01,120 --> 00:13:05,760 Speaker 1: you can lose all right, you can't. You can lose 225 00:13:06,520 --> 00:13:08,880 Speaker 1: an election by your own team not showing up to 226 00:13:09,000 --> 00:13:11,880 Speaker 1: vote for you. And I think that's very much now 227 00:13:12,000 --> 00:13:15,079 Speaker 1: where Joe Biden has got to convince Democrats. No, no, 228 00:13:15,160 --> 00:13:17,120 Speaker 1: at the end of the day, they hate Donald Trump, 229 00:13:17,240 --> 00:13:21,960 Speaker 1: so much that they are going to show up represented. 230 00:13:22,040 --> 00:13:26,440 Speaker 1: Mike Quinley just went on CNN a moment ago, and 231 00:13:27,080 --> 00:13:30,840 Speaker 1: it says under the on the bottom, it says debate fallout. 232 00:13:30,880 --> 00:13:34,280 Speaker 1: Biden campaign tries to reassure Democrats they're not going anywhere. 233 00:13:34,360 --> 00:13:37,800 Speaker 1: Listen to congressman quickly and what he said, he's a 234 00:13:37,840 --> 00:13:39,480 Speaker 1: congressman out of Chicago. 235 00:13:40,600 --> 00:13:44,559 Speaker 5: Is President Biden's scotta, says the person at the top 236 00:13:44,559 --> 00:13:49,839 Speaker 5: of the ticket endangering Democratic hopes of keeping or regaining 237 00:13:49,880 --> 00:13:52,400 Speaker 5: control of congresspending on the respective chamber. 238 00:13:53,160 --> 00:13:56,120 Speaker 6: Let me put it in this perspective. If I were 239 00:13:56,160 --> 00:13:58,440 Speaker 6: to talk to the President today, I would advise him 240 00:13:58,440 --> 00:14:01,800 Speaker 6: that the decision he has to make now is clearly 241 00:14:01,840 --> 00:14:05,680 Speaker 6: only his. And as much as I greatly respect him 242 00:14:05,720 --> 00:14:10,440 Speaker 6: and appreciate the extraordinary job, I think his four years 243 00:14:10,520 --> 00:14:15,520 Speaker 6: are one of the great presidencies of our lifetime. But 244 00:14:15,559 --> 00:14:17,880 Speaker 6: I think he has to be honest with himself. 245 00:14:17,920 --> 00:14:18,400 Speaker 4: This is a. 246 00:14:18,280 --> 00:14:21,240 Speaker 6: Decision he's going to have to make. He clearly has 247 00:14:21,320 --> 00:14:24,880 Speaker 6: to understand. I think what you're getting to here is 248 00:14:24,880 --> 00:14:28,240 Speaker 6: that his decision not only impacts who's going to serve 249 00:14:28,240 --> 00:14:31,240 Speaker 6: in the White House the next four years, but who's 250 00:14:31,280 --> 00:14:33,600 Speaker 6: going to serve in the Senate, who's going to serve 251 00:14:33,640 --> 00:14:36,880 Speaker 6: in the House, and it will have implications for decades 252 00:14:36,920 --> 00:14:37,280 Speaker 6: to come. 253 00:14:38,680 --> 00:14:41,560 Speaker 5: It sounds like you're actually open to the idea that 254 00:14:41,600 --> 00:14:44,440 Speaker 5: it might be the right decision for him to step aside. 255 00:14:45,400 --> 00:14:47,960 Speaker 6: I think what I'm stressing is it has to be 256 00:14:48,080 --> 00:14:51,640 Speaker 6: his decision, but we have to be honest with ourselves 257 00:14:51,680 --> 00:14:54,560 Speaker 6: that it wasn't just a horrible night. But I won't 258 00:14:54,560 --> 00:14:59,480 Speaker 6: go beyond that out of my respect and understanding President 259 00:14:59,600 --> 00:15:02,560 Speaker 6: Joe Biah, I'm very proud person who has served us 260 00:15:02,800 --> 00:15:07,520 Speaker 6: extraordinarily well for fifty years. But it's his decision. I 261 00:15:07,680 --> 00:15:10,760 Speaker 6: just want him to appreciate at this time just how 262 00:15:10,800 --> 00:15:13,600 Speaker 6: much it impacts not just his race, but at all 263 00:15:13,640 --> 00:15:15,840 Speaker 6: the other races coming in November. 264 00:15:16,440 --> 00:15:19,160 Speaker 1: All Right, So there you have it. The congressman there, 265 00:15:19,360 --> 00:15:21,480 Speaker 1: Biden has to be honest with himself. He has to 266 00:15:21,560 --> 00:15:25,040 Speaker 1: understand it wasn't just a horrible night. Okay, wasn't just 267 00:15:25,080 --> 00:15:30,000 Speaker 1: a horrible night. It was a disaster. Guys. I'm not 268 00:15:30,040 --> 00:15:32,880 Speaker 1: gonna lie to you.

Democratic Senator white House just went 277 00:16:05,920 --> 00:16:07,920 Speaker 1: on CNN, I'm going to play this for you, but 278 00:16:07,960 --> 00:16:11,280 Speaker 1: he said he's quote horrified they're upping their rhetoric. Now 279 00:16:11,320 --> 00:16:15,520 Speaker 1: horrified by the debate.

I think people want to make sure that this 304 00:17:34,800 --> 00:17:37,600 Speaker 10: is a campaign that's ready to go and win, that 305 00:17:37,720 --> 00:17:40,840 Speaker 10: the president and his team are being candid with us 306 00:17:40,960 --> 00:17:44,760 Speaker 10: about his condition, that this was a real anomaly and 307 00:17:44,800 --> 00:17:46,000 Speaker 10: not just the way he. 308 00:17:45,960 --> 00:17:49,080 Speaker 11: Is these days.

The debate also raised questions about 317 00:18:13,440 --> 00:18:16,919 Speaker 9: Biden's ability to serve as president. Now, were you taken 318 00:18:16,960 --> 00:18:18,800 Speaker 9: Aback as someone who gets to see him up close 319 00:18:18,800 --> 00:18:19,880 Speaker 9: once in a while, and like most. 320 00:18:19,680 --> 00:18:22,119 Speaker 10: Of us, yeah, I've never seen that happen before. 321 00:18:22,720 --> 00:18:24,760 Speaker 9: So this was not how you guys all knew.

Now, if the local news is reporting it 339 00:19:18,400 --> 00:19:21,760 Speaker 1: this way, and this is a local ABC news station, 340 00:19:22,480 --> 00:19:24,960 Speaker 1: you don't think that's coming from the top down where 341 00:19:24,960 --> 00:19:28,800 Speaker 1: they're saying, yeah, let's go all in to really try 342 00:19:28,840 --> 00:19:32,919 Speaker 1: to push this guy out. Even on MSNBC this morning, 343 00:19:33,520 --> 00:19:38,760 Speaker 1: sam Stein, Democrat was on there and Merca whatever the 344 00:19:38,840 --> 00:19:40,760 Speaker 1: hell her name is the other hosts, you know, the 345 00:19:41,280 --> 00:19:46,320 Speaker 1: chick that's on there. She had an audible sigh after 346 00:19:46,640 --> 00:19:50,640 Speaker 1: he floated Kamala Harris replacing Joe Biden. They don't want 347 00:19:50,720 --> 00:19:53,200 Speaker 1: her either, And this was on air. 348 00:19:53,440 --> 00:19:57,240 Speaker 2: Listen, Okay, And so then we go, sam Stein to 349 00:19:57,680 --> 00:20:02,879 Speaker 2: let's take Richard's concept, which I completely disagree with, to 350 00:20:04,240 --> 00:20:09,760 Speaker 2: let's hash it out like exactly. Then what happens. We 351 00:20:09,800 --> 00:20:14,440 Speaker 2: go with someone completely untested, completely inexperienced, because they seem cool, 352 00:20:14,560 --> 00:20:18,200 Speaker 2: because they're younger, because they have less experience. 353 00:20:18,320 --> 00:20:19,800 Speaker 8: Like, what does that look like? 354 00:20:20,119 --> 00:20:23,080 Speaker 2: I'm just not willing to walk away from someone who 355 00:20:23,080 --> 00:20:26,560 Speaker 2: has worked this hard and has performed this well and 356 00:20:26,640 --> 00:20:31,040 Speaker 2: gotten this much done on every level, more than any 357 00:20:31,240 --> 00:20:35,240 Speaker 2: president before him, including the ones Richard hass worked for. 358 00:20:35,760 --> 00:20:39,600 Speaker 12: Right. Well, there is a sort of semi middle ground here, right, 359 00:20:39,880 --> 00:20:44,320 Speaker 12: which is Kamala Harris. She's been vetted, she's the vice president. 360 00:20:44,359 --> 00:20:46,800 Speaker 12: She would inherit the campaign and infrastructure. She would inherit 361 00:20:46,840 --> 00:20:50,679 Speaker 12: the money, whereas anyone else in this hypothetically nurse could not. 362 00:20:51,760 --> 00:20:55,520 Speaker 12: She would be the logical person to take on the mantle. 363 00:20:55,600 --> 00:21:00,800 Speaker 12: And on top of that, she has some experience debating 364 00:21:01,240 --> 00:21:04,919 Speaker 12: Republicans at this level, including making the case against dal Trump. Right, 365 00:21:04,920 --> 00:21:07,439 Speaker 12: that would be the logical extension here. I agree with 366 00:21:07,480 --> 00:21:10,200 Speaker 12: you the other ones they are untested, with a big 367 00:21:10,240 --> 00:21:12,159 Speaker 12: side there on on air. A lot of the other 368 00:21:12,200 --> 00:21:15,680 Speaker 12: ones are untested, and that would be problematic in its 369 00:21:15,680 --> 00:21:17,920 Speaker 12: own rights. But look, I think this ultimately comes back 370 00:21:17,960 --> 00:21:21,000 Speaker 12: to Biden and Richard's points valid, which is Joe Biden 371 00:21:21,080 --> 00:21:22,800 Speaker 12: was the one who said to the standard himself, right, 372 00:21:22,880 --> 00:21:25,639 Speaker 12: every time that there was questions about at the agent vitality, 373 00:21:25,960 --> 00:21:29,920 Speaker 12: his response was, watch me right. That was his response. 374 00:21:30,480 --> 00:21:33,400 Speaker 12: We watched him on Thursday night. I think we around 375 00:21:33,440 --> 00:21:35,480 Speaker 12: the table agree he did not pass the test that 376 00:21:35,520 --> 00:21:38,160 Speaker 12: he set himself. I will say this, there is some 377 00:21:38,240 --> 00:21:40,000 Speaker 12: indication of what it would you. 378 00:21:39,960 --> 00:21:43,840 Speaker 1: Know, take I love this she I mean audible sigh 379 00:21:44,119 --> 00:21:47,679 Speaker 1: on the air like Kamala Harris. Are you kidding me? 380 00:21:48,560 --> 00:21:53,640 Speaker 1: You want to go with Kamala Harris? Kamala Harris, give 381 00:21:53,680 --> 00:21:57,320 Speaker 1: me a break, Scott Fitzgerald this morning. The question I 382 00:21:57,359 --> 00:22:00,720 Speaker 1: get from constituents is who's in charge now at the 383 00:22:00,760 --> 00:22:01,680 Speaker 1: White House? Listen. 384 00:22:02,000 --> 00:22:04,680 Speaker 13: So there's two There's two lines here that I'm asking about. 385 00:22:04,680 --> 00:22:07,440 Speaker 13: First Off, Biden clearly is saying he's not getting out 386 00:22:07,440 --> 00:22:11,400 Speaker 13: of the race. And then a Republican is telling Fox's digital, hey, 387 00:22:11,480 --> 00:22:14,480 Speaker 13: be careful, Republicans. You want Biden to stay in the 388 00:22:14,600 --> 00:22:17,679 Speaker 13: race because he's weak and he'll be beaten in November. 389 00:22:18,520 --> 00:22:18,720 Speaker 4: Right. 390 00:22:19,080 --> 00:22:20,880 Speaker 14: One is that I'm not the first sort to make 391 00:22:20,960 --> 00:22:25,000 Speaker 14: this point. I think is that for them to switch 392 00:22:25,080 --> 00:22:28,960 Speaker 14: out Biden for some other option at this point would 393 00:22:28,960 --> 00:22:32,320 Speaker 14: admit to the American public that he's not up to 394 00:22:32,359 --> 00:22:35,840 Speaker 14: the job right now, and this world is way too 395 00:22:35,960 --> 00:22:38,919 Speaker 14: dangerous to have somebody in the White House in the 396 00:22:39,000 --> 00:22:42,679 Speaker 14: executive branch that isn't up to the task of running 397 00:22:42,680 --> 00:22:44,640 Speaker 14: this country right now. And I got to be honest 398 00:22:44,640 --> 00:22:46,280 Speaker 14: with you, and I'm in the district. I did a 399 00:22:46,280 --> 00:22:49,000 Speaker 14: lot of events this weekend. The one question I get 400 00:22:49,000 --> 00:22:52,320 Speaker 14: from constituents all the time is who is running the joint? 401 00:22:52,560 --> 00:22:54,760 Speaker 14: Who is in charge at the White House right now? 402 00:22:55,200 --> 00:22:58,600 Speaker 14: And I think before when Robert Klein was there, we 403 00:22:58,680 --> 00:23:00,880 Speaker 14: all knew the chief of staff was running the joint. 404 00:23:00,920 --> 00:23:03,520 Speaker 14: We have no idea what's going on over there right now, 405 00:23:03,760 --> 00:23:07,320 Speaker 14: and that should be make everyone uneasy. On the other front, 406 00:23:07,440 --> 00:23:10,600 Speaker 14: I think that you know, going into this convention in Chicago, 407 00:23:11,320 --> 00:23:14,720 Speaker 14: I think, quite honestly, there's still a lot of internal 408 00:23:14,760 --> 00:23:19,080 Speaker 14: discussions as to whether or not a very very weak 409 00:23:19,359 --> 00:23:22,399 Speaker 14: Joe Biden, which we're seeing in the polling already, is 410 00:23:22,440 --> 00:23:25,680 Speaker 14: going to drag down members of the House in these 411 00:23:25,720 --> 00:23:30,280 Speaker 14: marginal districts, and the US Senate would absolutely be lost 412 00:23:30,359 --> 00:23:34,280 Speaker 14: if things remade the same as they do today. That's 413 00:23:34,280 --> 00:23:36,840 Speaker 14: when you're going to see people pushing the panic button. 414 00:23:37,119 --> 00:23:40,040 Speaker 14: If they lose control of both the House and the Senate. 415 00:23:40,520 --> 00:23:43,320 Speaker 14: And then Donald Trump is the next president, we are 416 00:23:43,400 --> 00:23:46,240 Speaker 14: going to be able to fix his country, but not 417 00:23:46,320 --> 00:23:48,160 Speaker 14: the way the Democrats want to do it. 418 00:23:49,000 --> 00:23:51,359 Speaker 1: I mean, the question I got from the continguents is 419 00:23:51,359 --> 00:23:52,840 Speaker 1: who's in charge the White House? 420 00:23:52,880 --> 00:23:53,080 Speaker 4: Now? 421 00:23:53,600 --> 00:23:58,119 Speaker 1: I think that's the question everyone is asking. Biden twenty 422 00:23:58,600 --> 00:24:04,399 Speaker 1: campaign advisor trying to go back on offense and saying 423 00:24:04,440 --> 00:24:07,720 Speaker 1: that senior advisers saying President Biden is quote considering a 424 00:24:07,800 --> 00:24:13,760 Speaker 1: high profile interview to address the health concerns. 425 00:24:12,960 --> 00:24:16,359 Speaker 14: For more secure and let the public see what they 426 00:24:16,400 --> 00:24:17,479 Speaker 14: can see with their own eyes. 427 00:24:17,800 --> 00:24:20,600 Speaker 8: Do actually, I mean, you worked on on Biden's twenty 428 00:24:20,640 --> 00:24:23,679 Speaker 8: twenty campaign, you worked communications for Vice President Harris. The 429 00:24:23,720 --> 00:24:26,320 Speaker 8: difference between Biden and twenty twenty debates and this last 430 00:24:26,320 --> 00:24:30,720 Speaker 8: one is obvious. How can the president reassure people who 431 00:24:30,760 --> 00:24:33,320 Speaker 8: watched him with pain and fear on that debate stage. 432 00:24:33,480 --> 00:24:35,480 Speaker 15: I mean, I think he actually did it on Friday. 433 00:24:35,520 --> 00:24:37,560 Speaker 15: I think he actually doubled down on it tonight. 434 00:24:37,840 --> 00:24:39,560 Speaker 8: But here's the teleprompters. 435 00:24:40,160 --> 00:24:42,720 Speaker 15: No, absolutely they are. But you know he still looks 436 00:24:42,760 --> 00:24:45,760 Speaker 15: strong and with it even on those teleprompters. And you 437 00:24:45,800 --> 00:24:48,840 Speaker 15: know there are times in which many liketed officials, even 438 00:24:48,840 --> 00:24:51,800 Speaker 15: former President Trump, has not looked strong on a teleprompter. 439 00:24:51,880 --> 00:24:52,520 Speaker 9: But here's the thing. 440 00:24:52,520 --> 00:24:52,600 Speaker 4: That. 441 00:24:52,680 --> 00:24:55,720 Speaker 15: I think that is that's being lost, and I'd like 442 00:24:55,760 --> 00:24:58,080 Speaker 15: to go back to what Ax said, and that is 443 00:24:58,200 --> 00:25:02,399 Speaker 15: Trump also reinforced the negatives about him. You know, he 444 00:25:02,440 --> 00:25:04,680 Speaker 15: had none of the challenges that Joe Biden did, but 445 00:25:04,720 --> 00:25:08,679 Speaker 15: still also underperformed. He you know, he didn't raise nearly 446 00:25:08,720 --> 00:25:11,680 Speaker 15: as much money, six million dollars short of what Joe 447 00:25:11,680 --> 00:25:14,760 Speaker 15: Biden raised during the actual debate. 448 00:25:14,920 --> 00:25:15,920 Speaker 11: Joe Biden's raised. 449 00:25:15,760 --> 00:25:19,560 Speaker 15: Thirty three million dollars. Since that point. The push pulls 450 00:25:19,600 --> 00:25:24,560 Speaker 15: show that independence and new Nicky Hayley voters didn't like 451 00:25:24,600 --> 00:25:27,359 Speaker 15: his response to January sixth, didn't like the fact that 452 00:25:27,400 --> 00:25:31,240 Speaker 15: he lacked substance and lacked a vision. In addition to that, 453 00:25:31,680 --> 00:25:36,840 Speaker 15: you know, they also felt like they couldn't trust Donald Trump, 454 00:25:36,880 --> 00:25:39,840 Speaker 15: so he actually didn't do himself any favors either, And 455 00:25:39,880 --> 00:25:43,280 Speaker 15: I think that's a narrative that's also being lost in 456 00:25:43,320 --> 00:25:45,320 Speaker 15: all of this discussion about President Biden. 457 00:25:45,680 --> 00:25:47,520 Speaker 1: I love this, right, They're like, no, no, no, it's 458 00:25:47,560 --> 00:25:50,320 Speaker 1: really bad. Somehow Donald Trump had a bad night. Okay, sure, 459 00:25:50,359 --> 00:25:55,000 Speaker 1: you keep telling yourself that forty one percent of Democrats 460 00:25:55,000 --> 00:25:58,160 Speaker 1: say they do not want Joe Biden to continue on 461 00:25:58,680 --> 00:26:02,600 Speaker 1: all right, Fetterman, Remember that guy Fetterman, the guy that 462 00:26:02,760 --> 00:26:06,040 Speaker 1: was like completely incapacitated when he was running for the Senate. 463 00:26:06,119 --> 00:26:08,119 Speaker 1: Yet Democrats still put him into the Senate and now 464 00:26:08,160 --> 00:26:12,600 Speaker 1: he's actually gotten a lot better. He had that stroke. Yeah, 465 00:26:13,080 --> 00:26:16,680 Speaker 1: he was on CNN and was asked about Joe Biden, 466 00:26:17,200 --> 00:26:21,240 Speaker 1: and I want you to hear Fetterman's advice to Joe Biden. 467 00:26:21,000 --> 00:26:25,320 Speaker 16: Express concern about President Biden's mental and cognitive health before 468 00:26:25,359 --> 00:26:27,840 Speaker 16: the debate. Now it is seventy two percent, so there 469 00:26:27,880 --> 00:26:31,040 Speaker 16: was already concern before. And you mentioned the polling. You 470 00:26:31,040 --> 00:26:33,000 Speaker 16: know that you were going to lose any one. You know, 471 00:26:33,240 --> 00:26:35,280 Speaker 16: it should be noted for our viewers to remind our 472 00:26:35,359 --> 00:26:37,879 Speaker 16: viewers that you you had a tough debate, right, you 473 00:26:37,960 --> 00:26:40,800 Speaker 16: had had a stroke and so forth. And I wonder 474 00:26:40,920 --> 00:26:44,520 Speaker 16: if your personal experience of voter is being able to 475 00:26:44,520 --> 00:26:47,080 Speaker 16: look past what you went through, if that is kind 476 00:26:47,080 --> 00:26:50,399 Speaker 16: of giving you more compassion for President Biden in this case. 477 00:26:51,000 --> 00:26:54,440 Speaker 17: Well, here's here's things that's true. Joe Biden has been 478 00:26:54,560 --> 00:26:58,960 Speaker 17: a great president. You know, Joe Biden. She beat Trump 479 00:26:59,240 --> 00:27:02,640 Speaker 17: in twenty twenty. And that last conversation you had last segment, 480 00:27:02,880 --> 00:27:04,920 Speaker 17: you were talking about all the legal kinds of problems. 481 00:27:05,200 --> 00:27:07,480 Speaker 17: You know, I'm not really worried about that ruling today. 482 00:27:07,520 --> 00:27:09,800 Speaker 17: I'm not actually surprised by it given the makeup of 483 00:27:09,800 --> 00:27:14,080 Speaker 17: the Supreme Court. But stop, you know, don't elect you know, criminals, 484 00:27:14,560 --> 00:27:16,359 Speaker 17: and then it's not really sad issue you have to 485 00:27:16,359 --> 00:27:19,040 Speaker 17: be worried about, and you don't have to worry about 486 00:27:19,040 --> 00:27:21,560 Speaker 17: with It's Joe Biden, and Joe Biden is our guy, 487 00:27:21,760 --> 00:27:24,000 Speaker 17: and it's going to be a stark choice. You have 488 00:27:24,080 --> 00:27:26,280 Speaker 17: Joe Biden or Donald Trump. It's going to be close. 489 00:27:26,520 --> 00:27:29,840 Speaker 17: I've been saying that same thing for the last eight years, 490 00:27:30,240 --> 00:27:33,320 Speaker 17: you know, Trump or Clinton, Trump Biden in twenty twenty, 491 00:27:33,680 --> 00:27:36,160 Speaker 17: or the same thing again in twenty four. It's going 492 00:27:36,240 --> 00:27:38,439 Speaker 17: to be close. And I do believe Joe Biden is 493 00:27:38,480 --> 00:27:41,159 Speaker 17: going to win. And like I said, it's not going 494 00:27:41,240 --> 00:27:45,560 Speaker 17: to be easy. But I don't understand why there's other 495 00:27:45,600 --> 00:27:49,520 Speaker 17: Democrats losing their minds over this. And this it's one 496 00:27:49,600 --> 00:27:53,160 Speaker 17: debate does not define anyone. As I said, my own 497 00:27:53,200 --> 00:27:56,679 Speaker 17: personal experience have proven that's just not appropriate. 498 00:27:57,600 --> 00:27:57,800 Speaker 4: Right. 499 00:27:58,400 --> 00:28:00,760 Speaker 16: We should note, though, there is a difference between you know, 500 00:28:00,800 --> 00:28:03,359 Speaker 16: a man in Assippi's as you were suffering from a 501 00:28:03,359 --> 00:28:07,240 Speaker 16: health issue which voters have an expectation he would recover 502 00:28:07,320 --> 00:28:11,000 Speaker 16: from versus age. In this situation with President Biden, he 503 00:28:11,000 --> 00:28:13,400 Speaker 16: would be eighty two if he were to be reelected 504 00:28:13,480 --> 00:28:17,280 Speaker 16: eighty six at the end of that another four years. 505 00:28:17,359 --> 00:28:20,560 Speaker 16: And you have people like Democratic Congressman Jamie Raskin saying 506 00:28:20,800 --> 00:28:23,840 Speaker 16: there have been very honest and serious conversations happening within 507 00:28:23,880 --> 00:28:28,520 Speaker 16: the Democratic Party following Biden's debate performance. What do you 508 00:28:28,520 --> 00:28:31,359 Speaker 16: know about those conversations. Do you think those conversations should 509 00:28:31,400 --> 00:28:31,920 Speaker 16: be happening. 510 00:28:33,640 --> 00:28:37,000 Speaker 17: I'm a gigantic fan of a representative Raskin, just in 511 00:28:37,000 --> 00:28:40,200 Speaker 17: that situation, I don't necessarily agree with some of those 512 00:28:40,320 --> 00:28:44,080 Speaker 17: views on that. You know, I have disagreed with Joe 513 00:28:44,120 --> 00:28:48,400 Speaker 17: Biden often, whether it was the Israel war or whether 514 00:28:48,520 --> 00:28:50,880 Speaker 17: that is with the border I made that that's a rage. 515 00:28:51,000 --> 00:28:54,200 Speaker 17: That's a major issue here. And just if I didn't 516 00:28:54,200 --> 00:28:57,360 Speaker 17: believe exactly what I'm saying right now, I wouldn't be 517 00:28:57,400 --> 00:29:00,400 Speaker 17: on your show right now talking about that. Let me 518 00:29:00,440 --> 00:29:02,920 Speaker 17: just say this too. If you think you're a friend 519 00:29:03,000 --> 00:29:05,920 Speaker 17: of the president there that you're you know, you don't 520 00:29:05,920 --> 00:29:08,480 Speaker 17: say that you know on national television, or you don't 521 00:29:08,520 --> 00:29:11,720 Speaker 17: put that in the nation's biggest paper. You reach out 522 00:29:12,080 --> 00:29:15,160 Speaker 17: in private, but if Joe Biden doesn't call you up 523 00:29:15,800 --> 00:29:18,400 Speaker 17: and ask your opinion, you know, then maybe you're not 524 00:29:18,440 --> 00:29:20,200 Speaker 17: the kind of close friend that you might think you are. 525 00:29:20,560 --> 00:29:22,880 Speaker 17: But Joe Biden has the right and he's earned that 526 00:29:23,000 --> 00:29:25,680 Speaker 17: right to have his support, and he's been a great 527 00:29:25,680 --> 00:29:28,280 Speaker 17: president throughout all that. I'll would take Joe Biden any 528 00:29:28,360 --> 00:29:32,760 Speaker 17: day over the kind of a terrible president who's now 529 00:29:33,120 --> 00:29:37,360 Speaker 17: demonstrated he's immune to all the criminal behavior that he 530 00:29:37,440 --> 00:29:38,920 Speaker 17: is now up to. 531 00:29:38,920 --> 00:29:39,760 Speaker 4: Trial for now. 532 00:29:40,160 --> 00:29:42,560 Speaker 17: But it comes down to that choice that we have 533 00:29:42,720 --> 00:29:46,520 Speaker 17: right now in November. Whose side are you chaos and 534 00:29:46,560 --> 00:29:49,560 Speaker 17: revenge or a good president who's done a good job 535 00:29:49,800 --> 00:29:52,680 Speaker 17: and it's going to take our nation in the right direction, 536 00:29:52,920 --> 00:29:53,360 Speaker 17: all right. 537 00:29:53,280 --> 00:29:55,920 Speaker 16: Santra John Fetterman, thank you so much for coming on. 538 00:29:57,040 --> 00:30:00,760 Speaker 1: Wow Fetterman, the guy who was in pascitated when he 539 00:30:00,840 --> 00:30:03,160 Speaker 1: ran is now giving advising. I think if you're a 540 00:30:03,240 --> 00:30:05,120 Speaker 1: friend of Biden, you don't say things on TV. You 541 00:30:05,160 --> 00:30:08,840 Speaker 1: reach out in private, and if Joe Biden doesn't call 542 00:30:08,880 --> 00:30:11,959 Speaker 1: you up and ask your opinion, then maybe you're not 543 00:30:12,000 --> 00:30:13,760 Speaker 1: the kind of close friend that you thought. 544 00:30:13,560 --> 00:30:14,600 Speaker 17: You might be. 545 00:30:16,680 --> 00:30:20,080 Speaker 1: Well, I've never liked a guy. I mean this. I 546 00:30:20,120 --> 00:30:22,440 Speaker 1: was rooting for his health to come back, obviously, but 547 00:30:22,520 --> 00:30:25,120 Speaker 1: I've never rooted for a guy more than Fetterman as 548 00:30:25,160 --> 00:30:29,400 Speaker 1: a Democrat because he says so many things like this. Also, 549 00:30:29,520 --> 00:30:33,280 Speaker 1: Biden campaign chair just coming out. Listen to this on 550 00:30:33,320 --> 00:30:37,160 Speaker 1: a Biden donors conference call. It's only fourteen seconds long, 551 00:30:37,840 --> 00:30:40,640 Speaker 1: but the Biden campaign is having a new push to 552 00:30:40,760 --> 00:30:41,840 Speaker 1: reassure voters. 553 00:30:41,880 --> 00:30:45,520 Speaker 8: Listen campaign officials addressing hundreds of donors on a conference 554 00:30:45,560 --> 00:30:46,320 Speaker 8: call last night. 555 00:30:46,440 --> 00:30:49,280 Speaker 17: The audio obtained by NBC News from someone who was 556 00:30:49,320 --> 00:30:49,880 Speaker 17: on the call. 557 00:30:50,320 --> 00:30:51,560 Speaker 9: In the media has spent. 558 00:30:51,360 --> 00:30:53,160 Speaker 12: A ton of time blowing this out. 559 00:30:53,000 --> 00:30:55,760 Speaker 13: Of proportion, and he's probably in better health than most 560 00:30:55,760 --> 00:30:56,120 Speaker 13: of us. 561 00:30:57,320 --> 00:31:00,360 Speaker 1: That's their line. The media has spent there are too 562 00:31:00,440 --> 00:31:03,600 Speaker 1: much time blowing this out of proportion. He's in far 563 00:31:03,720 --> 00:31:06,480 Speaker 1: better health than most of us. Yeah, he's probably in 564 00:31:06,520 --> 00:31:09,080 Speaker 1: better health than most of us.
