1
00:00:01,760 --> 00:00:04,520
Speaker 1: Hey there, folks. We have just heard from President Biden

2
00:00:05,000 --> 00:00:07,880
Speaker 1: about why he now thinks the best way for him

3
00:00:07,880 --> 00:00:12,680
Speaker 1: to serve the country is to not serve a second term.

4
00:00:12,720 --> 00:00:15,120
Speaker 1: And with that, welcome to this very special episode of

5
00:00:15,200 --> 00:00:21,560
Speaker 1: Amy and TJ. Robes. We have now seen and heard

6
00:00:21,760 --> 00:00:26,600
Speaker 1: from President Biden for the first time since his decision

7
00:00:26,680 --> 00:00:30,480
Speaker 1: to get out of the race. And what were you

8
00:00:30,680 --> 00:00:32,280
Speaker 1: expecting versus what we got?

9
00:00:33,159 --> 00:00:36,680
Speaker 2: Well, okay, so a lot of things actually, So I

10
00:00:36,760 --> 00:00:39,360
Speaker 2: knew it would be probably short, but it was much

11
00:00:39,400 --> 00:00:43,600
Speaker 2: shorter than I expected. Eleven twelve minutes depending on who

12
00:00:43,720 --> 00:00:44,880
Speaker 2: was doing the timing.

13
00:00:45,080 --> 00:00:47,519
Speaker 1: Started on time eight o'clock Eastern.

14
00:00:47,479 --> 00:00:49,519
Speaker 2: Start, run on time, and I clocked it as a

15
00:00:49,680 --> 00:00:51,960
Speaker 2: twelve when he was done. So that was a little

16
00:00:52,000 --> 00:00:55,440
Speaker 2: shocking at just how short it was. I was surprised

17
00:00:55,560 --> 00:00:58,880
Speaker 2: that he never explained why he was getting out of

18
00:00:58,920 --> 00:01:04,479
Speaker 2: the race ever addressed the issues about the accusations about

19
00:01:04,480 --> 00:01:07,679
Speaker 2: his mental acuity. He never even touched on that, and

20
00:01:07,720 --> 00:01:10,960
Speaker 2: he barely spoke. I think it was one line about

21
00:01:11,319 --> 00:01:15,640
Speaker 2: the woman he endorsed, Kamala Harris. So those things all

22
00:01:15,680 --> 00:01:16,360
Speaker 2: surprised me.

23
00:01:16,720 --> 00:01:19,320
Speaker 1: Let's go back here, we folks. The set up here

24
00:01:20,560 --> 00:01:24,160
Speaker 1: was that This was the speech, and with this was

25
00:01:24,200 --> 00:01:26,480
Speaker 1: the legacy speech. This is when he was supposed to

26
00:01:26,560 --> 00:01:30,560
Speaker 1: talk about what he has done as president and why

27
00:01:30,560 --> 00:01:32,000
Speaker 1: he's getting out of the race and for it to

28
00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:34,640
Speaker 1: be for the better event of the country. Now he

29
00:01:34,640 --> 00:01:36,959
Speaker 1: did do this from the Oval Office. This was a

30
00:01:37,000 --> 00:01:41,280
Speaker 1: prime time speech. He was in a navy suit. That's

31
00:01:41,319 --> 00:01:47,280
Speaker 1: a royal blue tie. He looked, he looked sharp, He

32
00:01:47,319 --> 00:01:50,360
Speaker 1: looked pretty good. He's gotten a little rest, I suppose

33
00:01:50,440 --> 00:01:55,200
Speaker 1: because he has been in isolation with COVID. But some

34
00:01:55,240 --> 00:01:57,840
Speaker 1: of the details and things we couldn't see and couldn't

35
00:01:57,880 --> 00:01:59,480
Speaker 1: know while the speech was going on if you were

36
00:01:59,480 --> 00:02:01,760
Speaker 1: watching it on televisions, that his family was in the room.

37
00:02:02,120 --> 00:02:04,880
Speaker 1: He had a number of members of his family robes

38
00:02:04,880 --> 00:02:08,840
Speaker 1: that were lining the wall. So they were sitting around

39
00:02:08,919 --> 00:02:12,040
Speaker 1: the wall of the old office. And who was it

40
00:02:12,080 --> 00:02:15,520
Speaker 1: that was sitting actually closest to him along that while

41
00:02:15,600 --> 00:02:17,520
Speaker 1: wall is one of the family members that a lot

42
00:02:17,600 --> 00:02:20,120
Speaker 1: of people say he should have been trying to distance

43
00:02:20,200 --> 00:02:20,840
Speaker 1: himself from.

44
00:02:21,440 --> 00:02:23,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, and someone who I have spent quite a bit

45
00:02:23,800 --> 00:02:26,200
Speaker 2: of time with, Hunter Biden. He was right next to him,

46
00:02:26,240 --> 00:02:30,400
Speaker 2: and his daughter Ashley was next to Hunter, and notably

47
00:02:30,480 --> 00:02:33,000
Speaker 2: doctor Jill Biden, his wife was at the far end.

48
00:02:33,280 --> 00:02:37,160
Speaker 2: So but yeah, that look, this was a historic moment.

49
00:02:37,560 --> 00:02:42,200
Speaker 2: This was a painful moment for him personally, for the family.

50
00:02:42,800 --> 00:02:46,440
Speaker 2: He absolutely did not want to get out of the race.

51
00:02:46,480 --> 00:02:49,760
Speaker 2: This was not something that he personally wanted to do.

52
00:02:49,840 --> 00:02:53,760
Speaker 2: There was clearly political pressure, and some people have suggested

53
00:02:53,760 --> 00:02:57,040
Speaker 2: this was even a political intervention of sorts. So this

54
00:02:57,200 --> 00:03:01,440
Speaker 2: resignation wasn't necessarily something he chose. A lot of people

55
00:03:01,440 --> 00:03:04,880
Speaker 2: have said he was forced out. So this had to

56
00:03:04,919 --> 00:03:10,080
Speaker 2: be an incredibly painful evening for President Biden and for

57
00:03:10,120 --> 00:03:12,240
Speaker 2: every member of his family who supported him.

58
00:03:12,360 --> 00:03:16,960
Speaker 1: Painful. It adds to the political theater we have seen,

59
00:03:17,000 --> 00:03:20,680
Speaker 1: but it's been historical theater, it seems in this particular cycle.

60
00:03:21,760 --> 00:03:24,320
Speaker 1: But here we are watching and I guess not something

61
00:03:24,320 --> 00:03:27,400
Speaker 1: I would ever think I would see necessarily in my lifetime.

62
00:03:28,520 --> 00:03:33,120
Speaker 1: This wasn't a resignation, But this was a sitting president

63
00:03:33,160 --> 00:03:37,240
Speaker 1: deciding not to voluntarily deciding. Okay, we can yes, some

64
00:03:37,280 --> 00:03:39,840
Speaker 1: people will debate that word yea if this was voluntary,

65
00:03:40,440 --> 00:03:44,040
Speaker 1: but he's making the choice to step aside. So you've

66
00:03:44,080 --> 00:03:46,560
Speaker 1: got in our history. Lyndon Johnson, I guess was the

67
00:03:46,600 --> 00:03:49,720
Speaker 1: most famous and what was the line, I will not

68
00:03:49,840 --> 00:03:52,080
Speaker 1: accept what's the line he had the very famous line

69
00:03:52,080 --> 00:03:54,200
Speaker 1: about not accepting the nomination? Correct, you know what I'm

70
00:03:54,240 --> 00:03:55,520
Speaker 1: talking nineteen sixty eight.

71
00:03:55,560 --> 00:03:58,600
Speaker 2: That's how far you have to go back. So many

72
00:03:58,640 --> 00:04:02,080
Speaker 2: people presentaries included this is the first time in our

73
00:04:02,160 --> 00:04:06,360
Speaker 2: lifetimes we have seen a sitting president stand back and

74
00:04:07,920 --> 00:04:11,280
Speaker 2: say I will not I will not run for president again,

75
00:04:11,440 --> 00:04:14,560
Speaker 2: despite the fact that he had been elected through the

76
00:04:14,600 --> 00:04:18,000
Speaker 2: primary process to be the nominee.

77
00:04:18,120 --> 00:04:21,000
Speaker 1: And it's so rare. We up to forty six, right,

78
00:04:21,000 --> 00:04:24,000
Speaker 1: we have forty six presidents, so we're talking what we

79
00:04:24,120 --> 00:04:29,520
Speaker 1: got Coolidge, Truman, Hayes, you can polk. I believe we

80
00:04:29,600 --> 00:04:33,120
Speaker 1: had several that this actually happened in our history, but

81
00:04:33,160 --> 00:04:35,760
Speaker 1: it's just such a rare thing to take place. So,

82
00:04:35,800 --> 00:04:37,520
Speaker 1: you know, this was a tough and was emotional night

83
00:04:37,560 --> 00:04:39,440
Speaker 1: and something still he did not want to do so.

84
00:04:39,440 --> 00:04:41,520
Speaker 1: But the content, I guess ropes of what he was

85
00:04:41,560 --> 00:04:45,000
Speaker 1: trying to get across tonight, and he uses line you'll

86
00:04:45,000 --> 00:04:48,520
Speaker 1: see it everywhere is that we are we don't kings

87
00:04:48,520 --> 00:04:51,120
Speaker 1: don't rule here, and that was really a theme of

88
00:04:51,160 --> 00:04:55,279
Speaker 1: what his speech was. He started off pretty much that way, saying,

89
00:04:55,520 --> 00:04:57,760
Speaker 1: this is not who we are. We have presidents. Our

90
00:04:57,800 --> 00:05:02,599
Speaker 1: presidents are not kings. And he never mentioned Donald Trump

91
00:05:02,800 --> 00:05:05,040
Speaker 1: a single time during the speech. He never even said

92
00:05:05,080 --> 00:05:09,640
Speaker 1: anything like the other candidate. He didn't say the other side.

93
00:05:09,960 --> 00:05:12,320
Speaker 1: But he tried to Roways make that point that he

94
00:05:12,360 --> 00:05:15,120
Speaker 1: was doing this as a matter of showing who we

95
00:05:15,160 --> 00:05:20,240
Speaker 1: are the republic. That is an idea that we haven't

96
00:05:20,279 --> 00:05:23,200
Speaker 1: quite made it there, but we are still trying.

97
00:05:24,720 --> 00:05:28,440
Speaker 2: So he talked about how he revered the office of

98
00:05:28,520 --> 00:05:31,240
Speaker 2: the presidency, but that he loved his country more and

99
00:05:31,279 --> 00:05:34,160
Speaker 2: that was one of the reasons why he said he

100
00:05:34,240 --> 00:05:38,160
Speaker 2: was stepping down. But as you point out, he never

101
00:05:38,279 --> 00:05:41,800
Speaker 2: mentioned the other party. He never mentioned Donald Trump, and

102
00:05:41,920 --> 00:05:49,040
Speaker 2: yet he did make this about protecting democracy directly implying

103
00:05:49,160 --> 00:05:54,839
Speaker 2: that voting for Donald Trump would be a vote against democracy.

104
00:05:54,880 --> 00:05:59,320
Speaker 2: And I think so a lot of folks who are

105
00:05:59,440 --> 00:06:03,040
Speaker 2: undecided or who are on the side of Trump look

106
00:06:03,080 --> 00:06:08,880
Speaker 2: at this as something that didn't feel genuine. So here

107
00:06:09,080 --> 00:06:12,839
Speaker 2: we have President Biden saying that he is trying to

108
00:06:12,960 --> 00:06:16,440
Speaker 2: unite the country. He said, we have a choice between

109
00:06:16,440 --> 00:06:19,640
Speaker 2: hope and hate, unity versus division. He asked whether or

110
00:06:19,640 --> 00:06:24,159
Speaker 2: not character in public life still mattered, and so he

111
00:06:24,279 --> 00:06:28,320
Speaker 2: was clearly drawing a line in the sand and basically

112
00:06:28,360 --> 00:06:30,520
Speaker 2: saying that a vote for Trump would be a vote

113
00:06:30,560 --> 00:06:35,159
Speaker 2: against democracy. So this wasn't necessarily a speech to the

114
00:06:35,200 --> 00:06:39,480
Speaker 2: American public. It absolutely was a political speech. And so

115
00:06:40,200 --> 00:06:42,719
Speaker 2: he had the opportunity perhaps not to do that, and

116
00:06:42,800 --> 00:06:48,360
Speaker 2: yet I understand we're in a political season that is

117
00:06:48,640 --> 00:06:51,000
Speaker 2: as tough as it's ever been, and so he took

118
00:06:51,040 --> 00:06:54,520
Speaker 2: the opportunity to to the party line, but did it

119
00:06:54,720 --> 00:06:59,080
Speaker 2: in the veil or acting as though he were doing

120
00:06:59,120 --> 00:07:01,120
Speaker 2: this for the American people. And so I think a

121
00:07:01,160 --> 00:07:04,320
Speaker 2: lot of people who and this is a divided country,

122
00:07:04,360 --> 00:07:06,000
Speaker 2: you look at this and say, you know, he could

123
00:07:06,000 --> 00:07:07,599
Speaker 2: have been a little bit more unifying.

124
00:07:08,200 --> 00:07:10,400
Speaker 1: I mean, I absolutely think that he believes he was

125
00:07:10,440 --> 00:07:12,960
Speaker 1: being unifying in what he was saying. I know politics

126
00:07:13,000 --> 00:07:16,400
Speaker 1: always plays into this, but I think he genuinely believes

127
00:07:16,920 --> 00:07:18,880
Speaker 1: that the country needs to come together. I think a

128
00:07:18,880 --> 00:07:20,800
Speaker 1: lot of people believe the country needs to come together,

129
00:07:21,000 --> 00:07:23,680
Speaker 1: and he thought this was. Yeah, he talked about the

130
00:07:24,200 --> 00:07:26,960
Speaker 1: uniting the country, but he also talked about uniting the party.

131
00:07:27,000 --> 00:07:31,800
Speaker 1: He spoke specifically about the onus being on you, the voter,

132
00:07:32,080 --> 00:07:37,800
Speaker 1: the American public, to save the democracy is the line.

133
00:07:37,840 --> 00:07:40,800
Speaker 1: He you saved the democracy and the onus is on

134
00:07:41,040 --> 00:07:45,000
Speaker 1: you to do so, and his role in doing that

135
00:07:45,160 --> 00:07:47,640
Speaker 1: is to step aside. It's a step aside, he sa

136
00:07:47,880 --> 00:07:50,160
Speaker 1: it is now. The best way forward is for him

137
00:07:50,200 --> 00:07:53,200
Speaker 1: to pass the torch to another generation. So there's a

138
00:07:53,240 --> 00:07:56,000
Speaker 1: time and place or experience that time in place is

139
00:07:56,040 --> 00:07:58,440
Speaker 1: not now. The time in plays is now for a

140
00:07:58,480 --> 00:08:03,840
Speaker 1: younger generation and youngunger voices. We understand. I mean, this

141
00:08:03,840 --> 00:08:06,400
Speaker 1: guy's been in public office for fifty years and maybe

142
00:08:06,440 --> 00:08:09,640
Speaker 1: some are arguing that the biggest service he has done

143
00:08:09,640 --> 00:08:12,920
Speaker 1: to the country is to stop serving the country. That's

144
00:08:12,960 --> 00:08:15,000
Speaker 1: got to be tough to stomach tonight. It's a tough

145
00:08:15,080 --> 00:08:16,080
Speaker 1: night with the Biden family.

146
00:08:16,120 --> 00:08:18,960
Speaker 2: Absolutely, it is a difficult thing to do. And I

147
00:08:19,440 --> 00:08:21,800
Speaker 2: was I think anybody could put themselves in that position

148
00:08:21,840 --> 00:08:24,080
Speaker 2: and think, Wow, this thing. You love this thing, You've

149
00:08:24,080 --> 00:08:26,600
Speaker 2: worked your whole life for this thing. You truly and

150
00:08:26,640 --> 00:08:30,680
Speaker 2: I do believe in his genuine care and concern for

151
00:08:30,720 --> 00:08:33,920
Speaker 2: our country in the direction it's headed and where he

152
00:08:34,000 --> 00:08:37,880
Speaker 2: wants to see it go. So his heart is in

153
00:08:37,920 --> 00:08:41,280
Speaker 2: the right place. But it's just it is a tough

154
00:08:41,320 --> 00:08:43,960
Speaker 2: thing to watch, and it had to have required so

155
00:08:44,120 --> 00:08:47,680
Speaker 2: much strength to be able to deliver that speech with

156
00:08:48,440 --> 00:08:51,880
Speaker 2: not just the world watching, but his family even more

157
00:08:51,920 --> 00:08:54,360
Speaker 2: so watching him just from a few feet away. So

158
00:08:54,760 --> 00:09:02,160
Speaker 2: the humbling, humbling experience. And you know, we all age,

159
00:09:02,240 --> 00:09:05,920
Speaker 2: We all, I think, fear what happens with age and

160
00:09:06,280 --> 00:09:08,720
Speaker 2: where we're all headed. And so it's tough to watch

161
00:09:08,800 --> 00:09:11,480
Speaker 2: because we're all headed in that direction and we won't

162
00:09:11,520 --> 00:09:14,040
Speaker 2: be our sharpest the older we get. And just watching him,

163
00:09:14,440 --> 00:09:18,160
Speaker 2: unfortunately have to acknowledge that in a very public way

164
00:09:18,400 --> 00:09:21,880
Speaker 2: is difficult to witness. It certainly is. But he did

165
00:09:21,920 --> 00:09:24,240
Speaker 2: not go into any of those details about where he

166
00:09:24,360 --> 00:09:28,640
Speaker 2: is mentally. And you know, maybe this is silly of me,

167
00:09:28,720 --> 00:09:31,440
Speaker 2: maybe this is the woman in me, but I actually

168
00:09:31,720 --> 00:09:34,520
Speaker 2: kind of wanted to hear how he felt emotionally about it.

169
00:09:35,000 --> 00:09:37,560
Speaker 2: Maybe that doesn't matter, but I kind of wanted to

170
00:09:37,559 --> 00:09:40,520
Speaker 2: see the human side of what he's been through over

171
00:09:40,559 --> 00:09:42,920
Speaker 2: the last few days and what led him to this decision.

172
00:09:43,679 --> 00:09:46,360
Speaker 2: I was hoping that maybe we would hear some of that,

173
00:09:46,440 --> 00:09:48,760
Speaker 2: because that just would have felt, i don't know, honest

174
00:09:48,840 --> 00:09:52,560
Speaker 2: and real and human, and I think I'm desperate for

175
00:09:52,640 --> 00:09:55,600
Speaker 2: that in politics. And maybe that's just a silly thing

176
00:09:55,600 --> 00:09:57,200
Speaker 2: for me to even want to reach too, because no

177
00:09:57,200 --> 00:09:59,360
Speaker 2: one would dare do that. But I actually think it's

178
00:09:59,400 --> 00:10:01,960
Speaker 2: so powerful when people are human, and I just I

179
00:10:02,000 --> 00:10:03,160
Speaker 2: wanted a little bit more of that.

180
00:10:12,160 --> 00:10:15,360
Speaker 1: But you know, it was a very human We all

181
00:10:15,360 --> 00:10:17,280
Speaker 1: see people in our families grow older. He did not

182
00:10:17,320 --> 00:10:20,400
Speaker 1: address this in that way we can all kind of relate.

183
00:10:20,480 --> 00:10:23,240
Speaker 1: But watching him on TV tonight, if you've got a

184
00:10:23,320 --> 00:10:26,600
Speaker 1: chance to, or you'll see clips at some point, there's

185
00:10:26,720 --> 00:10:29,280
Speaker 1: one thing I think the most powerful images of the

186
00:10:29,360 --> 00:10:33,439
Speaker 1: night are the still images of his family lined up

187
00:10:33,600 --> 00:10:38,360
Speaker 1: along the walls of that oval to watch this guy

188
00:10:38,400 --> 00:10:41,040
Speaker 1: they love have to do something that we know he

189
00:10:41,080 --> 00:10:43,640
Speaker 1: did not want to do, so he will no matter what.

190
00:10:43,760 --> 00:10:46,319
Speaker 1: He's going to remain president. He says he's still got

191
00:10:46,360 --> 00:10:48,560
Speaker 1: some work to do over the next several months, things

192
00:10:48,559 --> 00:10:50,640
Speaker 1: he wants to get accomplished. He mentioned some of them,

193
00:10:50,640 --> 00:10:54,560
Speaker 1: including Supreme Court reform. Tonight, Again, like I said, he

194
00:10:54,640 --> 00:10:57,679
Speaker 1: did not mention Donald Trump by name, but he did

195
00:10:57,760 --> 00:11:00,679
Speaker 1: mention Kamala Harris like you were saying ropes. Yes, it

196
00:11:00,760 --> 00:11:03,000
Speaker 1: makes sense now that I sit here, But at the

197
00:11:03,040 --> 00:11:06,720
Speaker 1: time I thought he thought there'd be two sentences. There

198
00:11:06,800 --> 00:11:09,559
Speaker 1: was essentially one she's experienced, she's tough, she's capable, and

199
00:11:09,600 --> 00:11:13,320
Speaker 1: that was kind of it. But maybe that's okay. This

200
00:11:13,440 --> 00:11:15,800
Speaker 1: is not supposed to be her night. She'll have plenty

201
00:11:16,320 --> 00:11:19,280
Speaker 1: of attention and eyeballs on her. But that was the

202
00:11:19,679 --> 00:11:21,040
Speaker 1: nod he still gave tonight.

203
00:11:21,200 --> 00:11:23,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, I guess I just look. I wish I could

204
00:11:23,800 --> 00:11:26,800
Speaker 2: have heard more from him, from his heart, more from

205
00:11:26,880 --> 00:11:29,120
Speaker 2: him about what this decision was like for him, more

206
00:11:29,360 --> 00:11:33,439
Speaker 2: from him about where he is in his life, and

207
00:11:33,880 --> 00:11:36,559
Speaker 2: I just wanted more. I think twelve minutes wasn't enough.

208
00:11:36,920 --> 00:11:39,400
Speaker 2: I wish I could have heard more from him, and

209
00:11:39,400 --> 00:11:40,960
Speaker 2: then there would have been maybe, yeah, a little bit

210
00:11:41,000 --> 00:11:43,280
Speaker 2: more time to give Kamala a little bit more of

211
00:11:43,320 --> 00:11:46,200
Speaker 2: a nod. I do, And I don't want to harp

212
00:11:47,080 --> 00:11:50,120
Speaker 2: too much on what he didn't say. Something he did

213
00:11:50,160 --> 00:11:54,000
Speaker 2: say struck me. And we were watching the analysis before

214
00:11:54,120 --> 00:11:56,560
Speaker 2: and we watched some of the analysis afterwards. We had

215
00:11:56,920 --> 00:12:01,120
Speaker 2: all the networks up, we had two computers up and

216
00:12:01,320 --> 00:12:06,200
Speaker 2: the actual television sets. We watched the MSNBC, CNN, Fox News,

217
00:12:06,480 --> 00:12:09,720
Speaker 2: so we're getting it from all the different vantage points.

218
00:12:10,000 --> 00:12:15,080
Speaker 2: But I didn't hear anybody point this out yet. But

219
00:12:15,800 --> 00:12:17,920
Speaker 2: there was a point in his speech where he said,

220
00:12:18,080 --> 00:12:23,080
Speaker 2: I he said, I promise to level with you. I

221
00:12:23,200 --> 00:12:25,960
Speaker 2: promised to tell you the truth. And then he didn't

222
00:12:26,080 --> 00:12:28,800
Speaker 2: see anything beyond that, And I was kind of holding

223
00:12:28,800 --> 00:12:30,560
Speaker 2: my breath because I was hoping he was going to

224
00:12:30,600 --> 00:12:33,280
Speaker 2: then maybe go into some of those details I was

225
00:12:33,320 --> 00:12:36,360
Speaker 2: talking about, because, as you know, if you've been watching

226
00:12:36,400 --> 00:12:38,360
Speaker 2: and I'm sure if you will watch any of the

227
00:12:38,400 --> 00:12:42,000
Speaker 2: political commentary following this and leading up to the election,

228
00:12:42,120 --> 00:12:44,440
Speaker 2: one of the big allegations the Republicans in the right

229
00:12:44,520 --> 00:12:48,000
Speaker 2: are going to point to, not just Joe Biden, that

230
00:12:48,080 --> 00:12:51,199
Speaker 2: Joe Biden administration, but Kamala as well and anyone associated

231
00:12:51,240 --> 00:12:55,800
Speaker 2: with them, is that they were covering up Joe Biden's

232
00:12:55,800 --> 00:12:58,520
Speaker 2: cognitive decline. And so that's going to be a huge,

233
00:12:58,679 --> 00:13:01,280
Speaker 2: huge part of this campaign going forward. So anyway, I

234
00:13:01,400 --> 00:13:04,000
Speaker 2: just wondered if that part of his speech will come

235
00:13:04,040 --> 00:13:06,679
Speaker 2: back to bite him, because he made a point to

236
00:13:06,720 --> 00:13:10,880
Speaker 2: say that he was leveling with the American people and

237
00:13:10,920 --> 00:13:13,679
Speaker 2: telling us the truth, and that's what's in question from

238
00:13:13,760 --> 00:13:14,480
Speaker 2: the other side.

239
00:13:15,080 --> 00:13:18,559
Speaker 1: That is what I think a lot of people were

240
00:13:18,559 --> 00:13:21,200
Speaker 1: holding their breadth for tonight. If there's going to be

241
00:13:21,280 --> 00:13:23,679
Speaker 1: a look from the other side, there'll be a criticism.

242
00:13:24,080 --> 00:13:29,920
Speaker 1: But to that exact point, he didn't. If he thinks

243
00:13:29,960 --> 00:13:31,400
Speaker 1: that he's getting out, if he's getting out of the

244
00:13:31,440 --> 00:13:33,760
Speaker 1: race now because he thinks it's the best for the

245
00:13:33,800 --> 00:13:37,360
Speaker 1: country and the party, there is a why do you

246
00:13:37,440 --> 00:13:39,560
Speaker 1: think that's the best for the country and the party?

247
00:13:40,360 --> 00:13:43,760
Speaker 1: The why was not answered. He only said it's time

248
00:13:43,800 --> 00:13:46,280
Speaker 1: for younger voices. When did he come to that conclusion

249
00:13:46,280 --> 00:13:48,439
Speaker 1: about when it's time for younger voices? And why didn't

250
00:13:48,480 --> 00:13:52,200
Speaker 1: you come to this conclusion several months ago or before

251
00:13:52,240 --> 00:13:56,440
Speaker 1: the primaries actually started? That the why? So a lot

252
00:13:56,480 --> 00:13:59,640
Speaker 1: of the why has to do with, for those on

253
00:13:59,679 --> 00:14:05,040
Speaker 1: the outside, his cognitive ability, how he performed in that debate.

254
00:14:05,720 --> 00:14:09,000
Speaker 1: He's old now and he's not up for the task.

255
00:14:09,120 --> 00:14:13,480
Speaker 1: He never addressed age or anything about his cognitive ability,

256
00:14:14,040 --> 00:14:16,640
Speaker 1: and so his reasons for getting out of the race,

257
00:14:16,679 --> 00:14:20,360
Speaker 1: at least listening to this twelve minute speech, had nothing

258
00:14:20,400 --> 00:14:22,360
Speaker 1: to do with that. And I don't think a lot

259
00:14:22,360 --> 00:14:25,400
Speaker 1: of people are going to buy that for a second.

260
00:14:25,560 --> 00:14:28,760
Speaker 1: So robes that we both sat on the edge of

261
00:14:28,800 --> 00:14:32,600
Speaker 1: our seat truth being transparent with you. I promised I

262
00:14:32,640 --> 00:14:34,600
Speaker 1: would do that, and then it trailed off. We were

263
00:14:34,600 --> 00:14:36,520
Speaker 1: sitting out waiting this is going to be lined up,

264
00:14:36,920 --> 00:14:38,080
Speaker 1: and there was nothing after that.

265
00:14:38,120 --> 00:14:41,960
Speaker 2: Really, yeah, yeah, I mean, I do appreciate the sentiment

266
00:14:42,000 --> 00:14:46,320
Speaker 2: he made about the fact that nothing can come in

267
00:14:46,320 --> 00:14:49,520
Speaker 2: the way of the greater good, and he pointed out

268
00:14:49,600 --> 00:14:53,200
Speaker 2: not even personal ambition. And I do know that watching

269
00:14:53,280 --> 00:14:57,760
Speaker 2: him tonight, he has clearly set aside personal ambition. It's

270
00:14:57,760 --> 00:14:59,920
Speaker 2: something that has motivated it, I'm sure, and driven him,

271
00:15:00,120 --> 00:15:02,520
Speaker 2: driven many of us in our careers to get to

272
00:15:02,520 --> 00:15:04,560
Speaker 2: where he is, and to have to set that aside

273
00:15:04,680 --> 00:15:07,000
Speaker 2: is a big deal. And we saw him do that tonight,

274
00:15:07,560 --> 00:15:10,520
Speaker 2: and for that, I do think, you know, you never

275
00:15:10,600 --> 00:15:13,280
Speaker 2: know how the history books will look on a president,

276
00:15:13,360 --> 00:15:16,120
Speaker 2: but I do think for this moment, for his choice,

277
00:15:18,120 --> 00:15:20,400
Speaker 2: how he got to it, it can be up for debate,

278
00:15:20,400 --> 00:15:22,280
Speaker 2: But the fact that he did come to this evening

279
00:15:22,280 --> 00:15:25,160
Speaker 2: and make this speech, I think people will look back

280
00:15:25,200 --> 00:15:27,560
Speaker 2: and say this was an act of generosity, This was

281
00:15:27,600 --> 00:15:30,840
Speaker 2: an act for the greater good, and certainly a selfless

282
00:15:30,880 --> 00:15:34,880
Speaker 2: one and a difficult one and a humbling one to

283
00:15:35,320 --> 00:15:36,880
Speaker 2: do and then to witness, you.

284
00:15:36,840 --> 00:15:39,840
Speaker 1: Say, a humbling one. But how history will will never know,

285
00:15:40,000 --> 00:15:44,480
Speaker 1: but we just need to I guess there how are

286
00:15:44,480 --> 00:15:46,640
Speaker 1: people going to receive this over just the next few months,

287
00:15:46,920 --> 00:15:49,960
Speaker 1: because this, I mean the idea, that's how it's going

288
00:15:50,000 --> 00:15:52,160
Speaker 1: to be spun. On one side, he is putting he

289
00:15:52,280 --> 00:15:57,680
Speaker 1: is so committed to making sure the democracy is preserved,

290
00:15:57,720 --> 00:16:00,560
Speaker 1: and that Donald Trump isn't in the Why he is

291
00:16:00,600 --> 00:16:03,040
Speaker 1: so committed to that that he's willing to get out

292
00:16:03,080 --> 00:16:07,040
Speaker 1: of the race. Compare that, folks to the other side

293
00:16:07,080 --> 00:16:10,080
Speaker 1: and Donald Trump, who was willing to do whatever it

294
00:16:10,160 --> 00:16:13,680
Speaker 1: took to stay in power. Now, that is an argument

295
00:16:13,800 --> 00:16:16,960
Speaker 1: that one side is going to trying to make and

296
00:16:17,120 --> 00:16:21,240
Speaker 1: juxtapose those two images. The side or the argument the

297
00:16:21,240 --> 00:16:24,240
Speaker 1: other side is going to make is he's out of

298
00:16:24,240 --> 00:16:27,760
Speaker 1: the race because he got pushed out by his own people.

299
00:16:28,840 --> 00:16:31,800
Speaker 1: They don't They saw their chances and they didn't like it,

300
00:16:31,840 --> 00:16:35,520
Speaker 1: so they just decided to switch horses. And by the way,

301
00:16:37,040 --> 00:16:40,920
Speaker 1: they've been covering up for the longest his ability to

302
00:16:41,000 --> 00:16:43,920
Speaker 1: do the job. That is the other side and the

303
00:16:43,960 --> 00:16:46,720
Speaker 1: other argument, And what he didn't do tonight was answer

304
00:16:46,760 --> 00:16:50,360
Speaker 1: any critic that might have a question about how he's

305
00:16:50,400 --> 00:16:51,920
Speaker 1: doing as an eighty one year old man.

306
00:16:52,000 --> 00:16:55,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, because there are genuine concerns about what the next

307
00:16:55,240 --> 00:16:58,360
Speaker 2: six months look like, is he the president? Is he

308
00:16:58,640 --> 00:17:02,600
Speaker 2: co leading with Kamala? And has that been happening? We

309
00:17:02,720 --> 00:17:05,879
Speaker 2: don't know, and a lot of people are asking that question.

310
00:17:06,080 --> 00:17:08,840
Speaker 2: I don't think he made people feel better about that

311
00:17:08,960 --> 00:17:11,520
Speaker 2: with this speech, and he had the opportunity to do that,

312
00:17:12,320 --> 00:17:13,000
Speaker 2: and I.

313
00:17:14,560 --> 00:17:18,680
Speaker 1: No, not once, no, not anything about it in the

314
00:17:18,800 --> 00:17:20,360
Speaker 1: room wasn't acknowledged.

315
00:17:20,520 --> 00:17:23,520
Speaker 2: And that is part of the problem with politics in general,

316
00:17:23,560 --> 00:17:26,119
Speaker 2: because don't we see that all the time from so

317
00:17:26,280 --> 00:17:29,360
Speaker 2: many people. So I'm curious, are we going to see

318
00:17:29,400 --> 00:17:32,480
Speaker 2: Joe out in the campaign trail with Kamala? Is Kamala

319
00:17:32,520 --> 00:17:35,679
Speaker 2: going to distance herself from him? Is he going to laylaw?

320
00:17:35,800 --> 00:17:38,280
Speaker 2: I mean, there's a lot of questions about what the

321
00:17:38,320 --> 00:17:41,800
Speaker 2: next few weeks and months are going to be like.

322
00:17:41,840 --> 00:17:45,719
Speaker 2: But I fear that the tone is, you know, we

323
00:17:45,760 --> 00:17:48,400
Speaker 2: talked about how we were hopeful. Maybe just gosh, think

324
00:17:48,440 --> 00:17:51,280
Speaker 2: about the last four weeks. You go from that debate

325
00:17:51,359 --> 00:17:55,520
Speaker 2: that set this whole entire night in motion and to

326
00:17:55,600 --> 00:17:59,239
Speaker 2: a to an assassination attempt to today. I mean, I

327
00:17:59,280 --> 00:18:03,560
Speaker 2: can't even recall four weeks like this in political history

328
00:18:03,560 --> 00:18:06,200
Speaker 2: that I've witnessed in my life like I've seen in

329
00:18:06,240 --> 00:18:09,080
Speaker 2: the last four weeks and I can't even imagine what

330
00:18:09,200 --> 00:18:11,520
Speaker 2: the next few months are going to be. I mean,

331
00:18:11,800 --> 00:18:14,160
Speaker 2: it's like I can't even imagine.

332
00:18:14,280 --> 00:18:16,719
Speaker 1: So there's a sprint to the finish a line I

333
00:18:16,720 --> 00:18:21,240
Speaker 1: guess for Vice President Harris now, and everybody's up giving

334
00:18:21,280 --> 00:18:24,359
Speaker 1: all the scenarios for how she her path weighs to

335
00:18:24,480 --> 00:18:27,880
Speaker 1: victory and the electoral College. So you'll see a lot

336
00:18:27,920 --> 00:18:31,960
Speaker 1: of that. The thing, however, look, you will see of

337
00:18:31,960 --> 00:18:35,760
Speaker 1: a lot about favorables and unfavorables. Joe Biden's approval rating

338
00:18:35,880 --> 00:18:40,200
Speaker 1: was somewhere in the mid thirties. Kamala Harris's was somewhere

339
00:18:40,240 --> 00:18:43,000
Speaker 1: in the high thirties.

340
00:18:43,240 --> 00:18:43,520
Speaker 2: Yeah.

341
00:18:43,600 --> 00:18:47,240
Speaker 1: Right, so maybe a little bump and whatnot. But what

342
00:18:48,080 --> 00:18:53,240
Speaker 1: the Democrats just gave Americans who weren't excited at all

343
00:18:53,280 --> 00:18:56,560
Speaker 1: about this election, which might be the thing that tips

344
00:18:56,600 --> 00:18:59,520
Speaker 1: them tips the scale. They just gave them something that

345
00:18:59,560 --> 00:19:05,520
Speaker 1: people desperate for, an alternative to two old guys who

346
00:19:05,560 --> 00:19:09,520
Speaker 1: were in the last matchup. Yeah, like, we don't give

347
00:19:09,600 --> 00:19:13,159
Speaker 1: us anything other than this, and Democrats just gave it

348
00:19:13,200 --> 00:19:15,399
Speaker 1: to them. Here's an alternative here. You didn't want these

349
00:19:15,440 --> 00:19:18,520
Speaker 1: two A lot of people didn't want that matchup. So

350
00:19:18,680 --> 00:19:20,919
Speaker 1: could that be one of the things, and of course

351
00:19:21,280 --> 00:19:26,520
Speaker 1: the black vote specifically. We have seen today all over

352
00:19:26,560 --> 00:19:30,480
Speaker 1: television black women, black women, black women rallying with black women,

353
00:19:30,560 --> 00:19:33,200
Speaker 1: black women. It's going to be a very big focal

354
00:19:33,240 --> 00:19:36,719
Speaker 1: point of this of the Harris campaign to try to

355
00:19:36,800 --> 00:19:39,720
Speaker 1: drive a vote, because it's going to be necessary now.

356
00:19:39,720 --> 00:19:41,280
Speaker 1: But to see some of that come through in the

357
00:19:41,400 --> 00:19:45,119
Speaker 1: speech tonight, we've turned another page in this election. But

358
00:19:45,240 --> 00:19:49,040
Speaker 1: that's huge. They've given people what they desperately. Black people

359
00:19:49,040 --> 00:19:53,040
Speaker 1: weren't excited about either one of these candidates.

360
00:19:53,240 --> 00:19:56,960
Speaker 2: We know this it's a rematch, so it's like, really,

361
00:19:57,040 --> 00:19:59,440
Speaker 2: we can't we can't get someone other than these two

362
00:20:00,280 --> 00:20:04,720
Speaker 2: Caucasian old men. Yes, that's been a big, big complaint,

363
00:20:04,800 --> 00:20:07,760
Speaker 2: and now there is an alternative and we'll see what happens.

364
00:20:07,800 --> 00:20:11,080
Speaker 2: But we've already started to see the coverage switch and

365
00:20:11,560 --> 00:20:15,639
Speaker 2: it's on. The politics at its worst, perhaps is on.

366
00:20:15,880 --> 00:20:18,359
Speaker 2: I mean, I wish it wouldn't be that way, but

367
00:20:18,480 --> 00:20:29,360
Speaker 2: I think we're in for a difficult, difficult next few months.

368
00:20:33,560 --> 00:20:36,640
Speaker 1: We always say, look, the country's been through worse, right,

369
00:20:36,880 --> 00:20:38,960
Speaker 1: and we'll make it through this like we've made it

370
00:20:39,000 --> 00:20:45,120
Speaker 1: through everything else. But what a night for the guy

371
00:20:45,160 --> 00:20:49,960
Speaker 1: has fifty years of service, and his biggest act, and

372
00:20:50,160 --> 00:20:53,080
Speaker 1: some are arguing now, is that he is deciding not

373
00:20:53,240 --> 00:20:55,119
Speaker 1: to serve. And you're going to hear a line a

374
00:20:55,160 --> 00:20:58,439
Speaker 1: lot out there about a kid with us stutter, and

375
00:20:58,440 --> 00:21:00,560
Speaker 1: that's how he described himself tonight, as a kid with

376
00:21:00,600 --> 00:21:05,920
Speaker 1: a stutter who ascended to the presidency, and that same

377
00:21:06,040 --> 00:21:09,280
Speaker 1: kid with a stutter was in the Oval Office tonight

378
00:21:09,600 --> 00:21:12,640
Speaker 1: having to do what was would argue maybe the most

379
00:21:12,640 --> 00:21:15,240
Speaker 1: difficult thing he's had to do in his professional career,

380
00:21:15,840 --> 00:21:18,000
Speaker 1: and we know it was something he did not want

381
00:21:18,119 --> 00:21:23,560
Speaker 1: to do. And for his family and look for people

382
00:21:23,560 --> 00:21:25,360
Speaker 1: who love him and support him, you can see them

383
00:21:25,359 --> 00:21:28,040
Speaker 1: all over sometimes the way they speak about him on television,

384
00:21:28,040 --> 00:21:31,400
Speaker 1: people who have worked for him. Look, it's a tough day.

385
00:21:31,400 --> 00:21:35,639
Speaker 1: And that image, right, it looked the image outside of

386
00:21:35,640 --> 00:21:38,359
Speaker 1: the Whitehouse of all the staffers we've been seeing the

387
00:21:38,440 --> 00:21:41,160
Speaker 1: video going to a watch party and the White House

388
00:21:41,240 --> 00:21:43,560
Speaker 1: is kind of sad, like a slow procession.

389
00:21:43,640 --> 00:21:45,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, they said there was going to be pizza and

390
00:21:45,560 --> 00:21:48,879
Speaker 2: beer and wine. So it was this bizarre you know,

391
00:21:48,960 --> 00:21:53,000
Speaker 2: obviously it wasn't celebratory, and yet they were still perhaps

392
00:21:53,000 --> 00:21:57,879
Speaker 2: applauding his decision to do the right thing by the party,

393
00:21:57,920 --> 00:22:00,720
Speaker 2: and he would say for the country. I heard one

394
00:22:00,760 --> 00:22:04,439
Speaker 2: commentator say this, so I couldn't. I wouldn't ever claim this,

395
00:22:04,480 --> 00:22:06,639
Speaker 2: but I thought it was so well said. Before the

396
00:22:06,680 --> 00:22:10,520
Speaker 2: speech began, she said, this is the most important speech

397
00:22:11,280 --> 00:22:14,439
Speaker 2: he never wanted to give, and it may be the

398
00:22:14,440 --> 00:22:17,120
Speaker 2: thing he's most remembered for. We heard him tonight talk

399
00:22:17,160 --> 00:22:20,119
Speaker 2: about all of his accomplishments as president, and I'm sure

400
00:22:21,000 --> 00:22:23,800
Speaker 2: he will remember those, but this perhaps will be the

401
00:22:23,800 --> 00:22:29,160
Speaker 2: thing he's remembered most for, stepping down and letting that fresher,

402
00:22:29,480 --> 00:22:31,479
Speaker 2: younger voice carry on.

403
00:22:32,320 --> 00:22:35,920
Speaker 1: And now, just as the news keeps coming in, there

404
00:22:35,960 --> 00:22:38,919
Speaker 1: was a you'll see an image of it. But doctor Biden,

405
00:22:39,359 --> 00:22:42,560
Speaker 1: the first lady they've been thorin this handwritten note that

406
00:22:42,640 --> 00:22:46,560
Speaker 1: she sent to staff. But the con the contents of

407
00:22:46,600 --> 00:22:49,600
Speaker 1: that note, she says, to those who never wavered, to

408
00:22:49,640 --> 00:22:52,640
Speaker 1: those who refused to down, to those who always believed.

409
00:22:52,720 --> 00:22:55,280
Speaker 1: My heart is full of gratitude. Thank you for the

410
00:22:55,320 --> 00:22:57,480
Speaker 1: trust you put in Joe. Now it's time to put

411
00:22:57,480 --> 00:23:01,160
Speaker 1: that trust in Kamala. Page is being turned. How much

412
00:23:01,200 --> 00:23:05,560
Speaker 1: we'll see? Will we see that much of him? How

413
00:23:05,640 --> 00:23:08,359
Speaker 1: much are we right? We have to turn that page.

414
00:23:09,040 --> 00:23:11,640
Speaker 1: And sure he'll be on the campaign trail. Shure, we'll

415
00:23:11,680 --> 00:23:14,720
Speaker 1: probably see some, but it's got to be you have

416
00:23:14,760 --> 00:23:16,760
Speaker 1: to think it's gonna be few and far between. This

417
00:23:16,840 --> 00:23:19,639
Speaker 1: is now Kamala Harris's party.

418
00:23:20,480 --> 00:23:23,080
Speaker 2: It is now Kamala Harris's party, but she has yet

419
00:23:23,119 --> 00:23:27,840
Speaker 2: to receive the nomination officially. That may happen as early

420
00:23:27,920 --> 00:23:31,040
Speaker 2: as early August. We may be waiting until the convention,

421
00:23:31,200 --> 00:23:34,679
Speaker 2: but that's not as likely. We believe here within the

422
00:23:34,720 --> 00:23:39,200
Speaker 2: next probably week or two, they do have that virtual

423
00:23:39,280 --> 00:23:42,159
Speaker 2: roll call that perhaps she will be the nominee, but

424
00:23:42,200 --> 00:23:45,320
Speaker 2: certainly the presumptive nominee. As it stands right now, no

425
00:23:45,359 --> 00:23:50,480
Speaker 2: one has actively decided to run against her, and that's

426
00:23:50,800 --> 00:23:55,199
Speaker 2: highly unlikely. So and just you, we heard Trump on

427
00:23:55,240 --> 00:23:58,560
Speaker 2: the on the stump today in North Carolina and it's

428
00:23:58,600 --> 00:24:03,280
Speaker 2: all about Kamala. So they they've already they've already gotten

429
00:24:03,320 --> 00:24:05,680
Speaker 2: their talking points and it is it is Trump versus

430
00:24:05,720 --> 00:24:06,480
Speaker 2: Common even though.

431
00:24:06,400 --> 00:24:07,160
Speaker 1: It's not official.

432
00:24:07,320 --> 00:24:09,439
Speaker 2: Yes, that is where we are headed.

433
00:24:09,560 --> 00:24:11,920
Speaker 1: She does have enough, I mean enough have publicly come

434
00:24:11,960 --> 00:24:15,439
Speaker 1: out and said that they but no voting has started,

435
00:24:15,440 --> 00:24:18,560
Speaker 1: but enough have come out. Delegates have come out publicly

436
00:24:18,600 --> 00:24:22,120
Speaker 1: and said there she has enough, So that's not the

437
00:24:22,160 --> 00:24:25,200
Speaker 1: issue at all. But to hear, to hear the Republican

438
00:24:25,320 --> 00:24:30,880
Speaker 1: now talking points everywhere, the same ones. Our borders are radical,

439
00:24:31,080 --> 00:24:33,440
Speaker 1: they're going to hear radical. You're going to hear about

440
00:24:33,440 --> 00:24:37,919
Speaker 1: our prosecutorial records. You're going to hear. Even Trump was

441
00:24:37,920 --> 00:24:41,360
Speaker 1: on the campaign trail saying she failed the bar exam. Yes, right,

442
00:24:42,520 --> 00:24:46,679
Speaker 1: it begins here we go. But you know, if we

443
00:24:46,720 --> 00:24:50,280
Speaker 1: can stop with violence, political violence, if we can get

444
00:24:50,320 --> 00:24:53,440
Speaker 1: back to you know, just healthy debate.

445
00:24:53,880 --> 00:24:57,359
Speaker 2: You know what, let's like, let's let's just yes, let's

446
00:24:57,520 --> 00:25:01,840
Speaker 2: let it be about where each candidate is taking our

447
00:25:01,840 --> 00:25:04,840
Speaker 2: country and the policies they endorse. We can vote on

448
00:25:04,920 --> 00:25:08,640
Speaker 2: that and hopefully we will have the best person win

449
00:25:08,800 --> 00:25:09,480
Speaker 2: come November.

450
00:25:09,920 --> 00:25:15,280
Speaker 1: Well, right now, President Biden lost his fight. There was

451
00:25:15,320 --> 00:25:18,520
Speaker 1: no way he could fight his own party. There's no

452
00:25:18,560 --> 00:25:21,359
Speaker 1: way he could do that and fight Donald Trump at

453
00:25:21,400 --> 00:25:27,960
Speaker 1: the same time. So President Biden will remain president and

454
00:25:28,119 --> 00:25:30,840
Speaker 1: all the job for the next six months, but he

455
00:25:30,880 --> 00:25:33,280
Speaker 1: will not be the candidate is now Kamala Harris, he

456
00:25:33,280 --> 00:25:35,879
Speaker 1: has made the speech we were waiting on again. He

457
00:25:35,920 --> 00:25:38,040
Speaker 1: just came out of COVID. I mean, he's we haven't

458
00:25:38,040 --> 00:25:40,600
Speaker 1: really seen him out and acted it. To be honest

459
00:25:40,640 --> 00:25:43,480
Speaker 1: with you, it was nice to see him and to

460
00:25:43,520 --> 00:25:45,239
Speaker 1: be honest, and I know you feel this way out.

461
00:25:45,240 --> 00:25:47,919
Speaker 1: Well no excuse me, I won't speak for you in this,

462
00:25:48,119 --> 00:25:50,760
Speaker 1: but you're you're sitting there and you're you're kind of

463
00:25:50,840 --> 00:25:54,440
Speaker 1: hoping your he does okay, like I hope he gets

464
00:25:54,480 --> 00:26:00,600
Speaker 1: through this speech. Any major gaffes, Yeah, he just mean, you.

465
00:26:00,560 --> 00:26:03,080
Speaker 2: Know, look, I think the bar unfortunately was set pretty
