1 00:00:01,120 --> 00:00:01,520 Speaker 1: Welcome. 2 00:00:01,560 --> 00:00:04,680 Speaker 2: It is verdict with Sentater Ted Cruz, Ben Ferguson with 3 00:00:04,760 --> 00:00:09,799 Speaker 2: you as well, Senator. The debate fallout is continuing. You 4 00:00:09,920 --> 00:00:12,560 Speaker 2: thought it was a bad night on debate night, It's 5 00:00:12,600 --> 00:00:14,400 Speaker 2: gotten a lot worse for the president. 6 00:00:15,600 --> 00:00:19,040 Speaker 3: It's gotten much much worse. The debate heard round the world. 7 00:00:19,760 --> 00:00:22,680 Speaker 3: We recorded a special podcast the night of the debate. 8 00:00:23,480 --> 00:00:25,840 Speaker 3: Within an hour of it concluding, we put it out. 9 00:00:25,880 --> 00:00:28,400 Speaker 3: By the way, if you didn't hear our analysis that 10 00:00:28,480 --> 00:00:30,840 Speaker 3: occurred Thursday night, you should go back and listen. 11 00:00:30,880 --> 00:00:32,159 Speaker 4: It was Friday's podcast. 12 00:00:32,760 --> 00:00:34,880 Speaker 3: It was one of the most downloaded pods we've ever 13 00:00:34,920 --> 00:00:38,320 Speaker 3: done because it was immediate analysis of what's happened. We're 14 00:00:38,360 --> 00:00:40,360 Speaker 3: now sitting there a few days later, and a few 15 00:00:40,440 --> 00:00:44,360 Speaker 3: days later, the fallout continues to be massive. I said 16 00:00:44,440 --> 00:00:48,720 Speaker 3: the night of the debate, this is the most consequential 17 00:00:48,840 --> 00:00:53,639 Speaker 3: presidential debate in United States history. I still believe that. 18 00:00:53,720 --> 00:00:56,520 Speaker 3: This weekend, I talked to President Trump. I gave him 19 00:00:56,520 --> 00:00:58,640 Speaker 3: a call. I told him he did a phenomenal job 20 00:00:59,000 --> 00:01:00,760 Speaker 3: on the debate. I told I thought it was his 21 00:01:00,840 --> 00:01:03,560 Speaker 3: best debate performance he's ever done. He and I have 22 00:01:03,600 --> 00:01:05,880 Speaker 3: stood on many of those debate stages together and so 23 00:01:06,000 --> 00:01:10,160 Speaker 3: I'm intimately familiar with how President Trump debates, and I 24 00:01:10,200 --> 00:01:12,840 Speaker 3: think he was as I told him this weekend. He 25 00:01:13,040 --> 00:01:15,560 Speaker 3: was calm, he was measured, he was under control, and 26 00:01:15,640 --> 00:01:20,000 Speaker 3: most importantly, he let Joe Biden talk and hang himself, 27 00:01:20,040 --> 00:01:23,200 Speaker 3: because the greatest damage that was done was when Biden 28 00:01:23,319 --> 00:01:26,840 Speaker 3: was talking and his brain was short circuiting, and the 29 00:01:27,080 --> 00:01:30,480 Speaker 3: entire world saw that. On Thursday night, we're going to 30 00:01:30,520 --> 00:01:33,360 Speaker 3: break down the fallout and what's coming next. We're also 31 00:01:33,400 --> 00:01:36,600 Speaker 3: going to talk about the landmark Supreme Court decision that 32 00:01:36,720 --> 00:01:40,720 Speaker 3: came down last week overruling what's called the Chevron doctrine. 33 00:01:41,080 --> 00:01:43,679 Speaker 3: This is a big victory for the Constitution, this is 34 00:01:43,680 --> 00:01:47,360 Speaker 3: a big victory for democracy. So of course left wingers 35 00:01:47,400 --> 00:01:51,640 Speaker 3: who love the regulatory state are are weeping and gnashing 36 00:01:51,640 --> 00:01:52,240 Speaker 3: their teeth. 37 00:01:52,480 --> 00:01:54,360 Speaker 4: We're going to explain it all. 38 00:01:54,720 --> 00:01:56,360 Speaker 2: I got a lot of questions on the Trump call, 39 00:01:56,400 --> 00:01:57,600 Speaker 2: so we're going to do that in a second. But 40 00:01:57,680 --> 00:01:59,640 Speaker 2: let me tell you about my friends at Blackout Coffee. 41 00:02:00,120 --> 00:02:03,880 Speaker 2: I literally now get dozens of messages from you guys 42 00:02:04,080 --> 00:02:07,800 Speaker 2: almost every week that have now tried Blackout Coffee, and 43 00:02:07,880 --> 00:02:11,080 Speaker 2: the same thing is said virtually every time.

I've got to be awake, I've got to 48 00:02:22,639 --> 00:02:24,880 Speaker 2: be alert, and I'm not going to have an average 49 00:02:24,880 --> 00:02:28,280 Speaker 2: cup of coffee anymore.

We're going to 57 00:02:52,160 --> 00:02:54,760 Speaker 2: start our own, and they did it.

All right, So there's a 68 00:03:32,680 --> 00:03:35,040 Speaker 2: million people that have asked me this question when I've 69 00:03:35,080 --> 00:03:38,080 Speaker 2: had conversations on the phone with Donald Trump. So I'm 70 00:03:38,080 --> 00:03:40,440 Speaker 2: going to ask you the same question that everyone asked me. 71 00:03:40,880 --> 00:03:42,960 Speaker 2: How do you get in touch with Donald Trump when 72 00:03:43,000 --> 00:03:46,280 Speaker 2: you're the one calling him? How does that work? And 73 00:03:46,320 --> 00:03:49,560 Speaker 2: then do you get him right away? So I call 74 00:03:49,600 --> 00:03:53,040 Speaker 2: his phone and it varies. Sometimes sometimes he answers, other 75 00:03:53,080 --> 00:03:55,120 Speaker 2: times he doesn't, and he usually calls me back. In 76 00:03:55,160 --> 00:03:57,760 Speaker 2: this instance, he didn't answer, and he called me back 77 00:03:57,800 --> 00:04:01,840 Speaker 2: about twenty minutes later. And so when he calls you back, like, 78 00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:04,000 Speaker 2: how does it work? Is it talking like to a 79 00:04:04,040 --> 00:04:05,360 Speaker 2: friend or is it more formal? 80 00:04:05,400 --> 00:04:05,640 Speaker 1: What's that? 81 00:04:06,040 --> 00:04:06,240 Speaker 4: Yeah? 82 00:04:06,240 --> 00:04:09,000 Speaker 3: Oh yeah, Look, I mean President Trump and I have 83 00:04:09,120 --> 00:04:12,480 Speaker 3: been through a lot of battles together, uh, initially on 84 00:04:12,480 --> 00:04:14,640 Speaker 3: on opposite sides and then for a lot of years 85 00:04:14,680 --> 00:04:17,760 Speaker 3: side by side when he was president I was by 86 00:04:17,839 --> 00:04:20,480 Speaker 3: far his strongest ally in the US Senate all four 87 00:04:20,560 --> 00:04:23,159 Speaker 3: years of his presidency. And and so he and I 88 00:04:23,200 --> 00:04:25,640 Speaker 3: talk regularly, but just after this debate, I wanted to 89 00:04:25,640 --> 00:04:28,240 Speaker 3: call and tell him I thought he did really a 90 00:04:28,320 --> 00:04:30,480 Speaker 3: terrific job. And and and and as I said, it's 91 00:04:30,520 --> 00:04:34,600 Speaker 3: the best I've seen him. Because he was measured in 92 00:04:34,600 --> 00:04:39,720 Speaker 3: in control. He didn't he didn't let Biden bait him excessively. 93 00:04:39,760 --> 00:04:41,479 Speaker 3: Biden was trying to bate him, and he didn't. He 94 00:04:41,520 --> 00:04:45,640 Speaker 3: didn't take the bait. And and in particular, he gave 95 00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:49,680 Speaker 3: Biden airtime. That's not ant natural instinct for President Trump. 96 00:04:49,720 --> 00:04:53,640 Speaker 3: He he he likes to fill up the oxygen. But 97 00:04:54,279 --> 00:04:57,200 Speaker 3: what needed to happen is for people to see just 98 00:04:57,279 --> 00:04:59,800 Speaker 3: how diminish Joe Biden was. And the only way to 99 00:04:59,839 --> 00:05:02,400 Speaker 3: do that is to keep your mouth shut and force 100 00:05:02,520 --> 00:05:08,360 Speaker 3: Biden to talk. Ironically, the thing that really hammered Biden 101 00:05:08,520 --> 00:05:11,400 Speaker 3: was the thing he and his team insisted upon, which 102 00:05:11,440 --> 00:05:13,680 Speaker 3: is the microphones being shut off when the other person 103 00:05:13,760 --> 00:05:17,960 Speaker 3: was talking. That meant that neither candidate had an incentive 104 00:05:18,760 --> 00:05:22,719 Speaker 3: or temptation to interrupt because their mic was off, And 105 00:05:22,800 --> 00:05:24,400 Speaker 3: so it wouldn't be hurt if they did try to 106 00:05:24,400 --> 00:05:29,160 Speaker 3: interrupt that ended up leaving Joe Biden alone on a 107 00:05:29,200 --> 00:05:32,279 Speaker 3: sinking ship because the only thing that could rescue him 108 00:05:32,320 --> 00:05:35,680 Speaker 3: was his own words. And we saw multiple times where 109 00:05:35,680 --> 00:05:39,080 Speaker 3: he just got completely confused and lost and didn't know 110 00:05:39,080 --> 00:05:41,680 Speaker 3: what he was saying. And you could see it on 111 00:05:41,720 --> 00:05:45,960 Speaker 3: the expression of the moderators of Jake Tapper and Dana Bash. 112 00:05:46,040 --> 00:05:51,120 Speaker 3: They both looked with complete horror at just how much 113 00:05:51,200 --> 00:05:52,640 Speaker 3: Joe Biden was crashing and burning. 114 00:05:53,240 --> 00:05:57,800 Speaker 2: What was President Trump's just reaction to Biden. Did he 115 00:05:57,920 --> 00:05:59,720 Speaker 2: even think it would go this well for him or 116 00:05:59,760 --> 00:06:02,480 Speaker 2: really this bad for Joe Biden? Was he is as 117 00:06:02,560 --> 00:06:04,640 Speaker 2: much shocked as I think everyone else that was watching. 118 00:06:05,080 --> 00:06:07,479 Speaker 3: Well, look, I don't want to share what he said 119 00:06:07,600 --> 00:06:09,960 Speaker 3: just because conversations I have with President Trump. I'm going 120 00:06:10,000 --> 00:06:13,000 Speaker 3: to respect what he said. I'll share what I said, though, 121 00:06:13,480 --> 00:06:16,599 Speaker 3: which is that I'm concerned that the debate went so 122 00:06:16,800 --> 00:06:20,200 Speaker 3: well that they're going to yank Biden from the ballot. 123 00:06:20,400 --> 00:06:23,160 Speaker 3: And I repeated to him what I said on the podcast, 124 00:06:23,720 --> 00:06:29,560 Speaker 3: which is that this will be the most consequential debate 125 00:06:29,640 --> 00:06:34,799 Speaker 3: in American history if it ends up changing the names 126 00:06:34,839 --> 00:06:37,160 Speaker 3: on the ballot, if it ends up forcing the Democrat 127 00:06:37,240 --> 00:06:40,480 Speaker 3: Party to pull the plug on Biden and replace him. 128 00:06:40,520 --> 00:06:43,200 Speaker 3: And as I've said multiple times, going back to nine 129 00:06:43,200 --> 00:06:45,880 Speaker 3: months ago, I predicted they would pull pull Biden out 130 00:06:45,880 --> 00:06:48,720 Speaker 3: and replace him with Michelle Obama. I think that will 131 00:06:48,720 --> 00:06:50,599 Speaker 3: happen in the next three weeks. I think we have 132 00:06:51,080 --> 00:06:52,799 Speaker 3: a short fuse on that happening. 133 00:06:53,440 --> 00:06:53,839 Speaker 1: All right. 134 00:06:53,920 --> 00:06:56,440 Speaker 2: So I've got a million questions on that, and I've 135 00:06:56,440 --> 00:06:58,839 Speaker 2: been getting them on social You may have been seeing 136 00:06:58,839 --> 00:07:02,080 Speaker 2: some of the same questions. Democrats say that Donald Trump 137 00:07:02,160 --> 00:07:04,360 Speaker 2: is a threat to democracy, that the Republican Party is 138 00:07:04,360 --> 00:07:07,080 Speaker 2: a threat to democracy, that they're the people that care 139 00:07:07,080 --> 00:07:14,000 Speaker 2: about democracy. How would they justify pulling Biden, replacing them 140 00:07:14,040 --> 00:07:17,160 Speaker 2: with a him, with a candidate that no one voted 141 00:07:17,200 --> 00:07:21,120 Speaker 2: for in an election cycle, and then said, here it is, 142 00:07:21,880 --> 00:07:25,320 Speaker 2: how is that democracy? And it's a fair question. I 143 00:07:25,320 --> 00:07:27,360 Speaker 2: think a lot of Americans are asking right now. 144 00:07:27,720 --> 00:07:33,080 Speaker 3: Well, listen, at the end of the day. Under their rules, 145 00:07:33,120 --> 00:07:37,120 Speaker 3: each party selects their nominee, and they have provisions if 146 00:07:37,160 --> 00:07:40,960 Speaker 3: a nominee is incapacitated. Look, if either Donald Trump or 147 00:07:41,120 --> 00:07:45,480 Speaker 3: Joe Biden fell over dead tomorrow, it's not like the 148 00:07:45,480 --> 00:07:48,080 Speaker 3: Republican or Democrat Party would say Okay, well, I guess 149 00:07:48,120 --> 00:07:51,600 Speaker 3: we don't have a presidential nominee. Never mind, you replace someone, 150 00:07:51,640 --> 00:07:54,760 Speaker 3: and that happens. It has not happened with presidential candidates, 151 00:07:54,800 --> 00:07:58,920 Speaker 3: but it happens sometimes with congressional candidates, sometimes with senate 152 00:07:58,960 --> 00:08:02,640 Speaker 3: candidates or House candidate. It's where people have either they 153 00:08:04,280 --> 00:08:07,440 Speaker 3: die or or they have health issues that prevent them 154 00:08:07,440 --> 00:08:10,800 Speaker 3: from running and and and so the natural way for 155 00:08:10,840 --> 00:08:15,160 Speaker 3: the Democrats to do this would be with Joe Biden's cooperation, 156 00:08:15,280 --> 00:08:18,320 Speaker 3: that he comes forward and says, you know, my health 157 00:08:18,360 --> 00:08:21,200 Speaker 3: has deteriorated such that I'm no longer able to be 158 00:08:21,240 --> 00:08:21,800 Speaker 3: a candidate. 159 00:08:21,840 --> 00:08:22,640 Speaker 4: I thought I would. 160 00:08:23,040 --> 00:08:26,360 Speaker 3: I thought I could when when we launch the campaign, 161 00:08:26,480 --> 00:08:30,320 Speaker 3: but I'm no longer physically able to be a candidate 162 00:08:30,360 --> 00:08:33,960 Speaker 3: for four more years. And in that instance, uh, I 163 00:08:33,960 --> 00:08:37,719 Speaker 3: think we would see the Democrats replacing him. 164 00:08:38,120 --> 00:08:38,679 Speaker 4: Uh. 165 00:08:38,800 --> 00:08:43,439 Speaker 3: The exact procedure is complicated, and it's much more complicated 166 00:08:43,480 --> 00:08:45,800 Speaker 3: if Biden is not willing. If he's not willing, it 167 00:08:45,840 --> 00:08:51,080 Speaker 3: becomes practically impossible. And so a critical critical piece of 168 00:08:51,120 --> 00:08:56,240 Speaker 3: this is can the graybeards of the Democrat Party collectively 169 00:08:56,360 --> 00:08:58,040 Speaker 3: pressure him to say enough is enough? 170 00:08:58,640 --> 00:09:01,400 Speaker 2: Yeah, they certainly don't seem to be leaning towards him 171 00:09:01,480 --> 00:09:04,160 Speaker 2: dropping out. They've been doubling down. They had their event 172 00:09:04,320 --> 00:09:07,520 Speaker 2: after that night of the debate, and the next day 173 00:09:07,559 --> 00:09:09,600 Speaker 2: they had another event, and they're trying to get him 174 00:09:09,600 --> 00:09:12,360 Speaker 2: out there looking like everything's fine and quote, he just 175 00:09:12,400 --> 00:09:14,080 Speaker 2: had a cold. That was one of the parts that 176 00:09:14,280 --> 00:09:16,920 Speaker 2: made me laugh was how they're like, well, we had a cold, 177 00:09:16,960 --> 00:09:18,280 Speaker 2: he had a cold. Well, this was just because he 178 00:09:18,320 --> 00:09:20,920 Speaker 2: had a cold. I don't think that helps him. 179 00:09:20,960 --> 00:09:21,520 Speaker 1: I don't think. 180 00:09:21,360 --> 00:09:24,560 Speaker 2: People will believe that it was a cold that caused 181 00:09:24,600 --> 00:09:27,559 Speaker 2: him to have a terrible night. It's insulting, I think 182 00:09:27,559 --> 00:09:29,480 Speaker 2: too many voters. I actually think that can make it 183 00:09:29,480 --> 00:09:30,160 Speaker 2: even worse. 184 00:09:30,440 --> 00:09:34,680 Speaker 3: Well, and the White House spin was, well, he's usually 185 00:09:34,800 --> 00:09:38,640 Speaker 3: lucid between ten am and four pm, and so we've 186 00:09:38,720 --> 00:09:41,720 Speaker 3: just learned to do any White House meetings during those 187 00:09:41,760 --> 00:09:46,680 Speaker 3: hours because that's when his brain operates. And you think 188 00:09:46,720 --> 00:09:51,480 Speaker 3: about that as their explanation, and you're going, oh, okay, 189 00:09:51,559 --> 00:09:56,120 Speaker 3: that's good. Maybe putin and she, but before launching a 190 00:09:56,240 --> 00:10:00,800 Speaker 3: military attack, maybe a terrorist, before murdering America. NS will 191 00:10:00,800 --> 00:10:03,120 Speaker 3: be sure to do it between ten am and four pm, 192 00:10:03,840 --> 00:10:07,240 Speaker 3: because you know, if you do after Luby's is closed, 193 00:10:07,640 --> 00:10:11,560 Speaker 3: after the Jello at the cafeteria. I'm afraid the Commander 194 00:10:11,600 --> 00:10:13,319 Speaker 3: in chief is just not there and not able to 195 00:10:13,360 --> 00:10:17,560 Speaker 3: handle it like that is a terrifying statement, and that 196 00:10:17,760 --> 00:10:18,880 Speaker 3: is from the White House. 197 00:10:19,440 --> 00:10:22,120 Speaker 2: So the only way that this goes smoothly, I guess, 198 00:10:22,480 --> 00:10:25,800 Speaker 2: and this is a great point of clarification, is if 199 00:10:25,920 --> 00:10:31,880 Speaker 2: Joe Biden willingly said an sence, Hey, I'm gonna step aside. 200 00:10:32,280 --> 00:10:34,199 Speaker 2: There's no medication he's going to do that. So far, 201 00:10:34,280 --> 00:10:36,080 Speaker 2: based on what the White House and what Joe Biden 202 00:10:36,160 --> 00:10:39,000 Speaker 2: and the First Lady are doing, they're wanting to squash 203 00:10:39,080 --> 00:10:42,079 Speaker 2: this instantly. We also got a tweet, and I think 204 00:10:42,120 --> 00:10:45,200 Speaker 2: we mentioned in the last pod, but Barack Obama finally 205 00:10:45,240 --> 00:10:49,000 Speaker 2: came out and said, hey, he's our guy. Here's his website, 206 00:10:49,559 --> 00:10:52,880 Speaker 2: basically almost twenty four hours after the disaster of the debate. 207 00:10:53,480 --> 00:10:55,960 Speaker 2: You can read into that what you want. But if 208 00:10:56,200 --> 00:11:00,000 Speaker 2: Joe Biden and Joe Biden say we ain't going anywhere, 209 00:11:00,720 --> 00:11:05,839 Speaker 2: then the Democratic Party in essences has their hands tied 210 00:11:05,920 --> 00:11:06,440 Speaker 2: pretty much. 211 00:11:06,480 --> 00:11:11,040 Speaker 3: Right, Well maybe maybe not so look at the debate 212 00:11:11,120 --> 00:11:13,800 Speaker 3: that is playing out real time. So Barack Obama jumped 213 00:11:13,800 --> 00:11:15,680 Speaker 3: out pretty quickly in his tweet. Let me read it 214 00:11:15,679 --> 00:11:18,320 Speaker 3: all because it's relevant what he said. Obama says, quote 215 00:11:18,720 --> 00:11:22,040 Speaker 3: circle the wagons. Bad debate nights happen, Trust me, I know. 216 00:11:22,679 --> 00:11:24,800 Speaker 3: But this election is still a choice between someone who 217 00:11:24,800 --> 00:11:27,720 Speaker 3: has fought for ordinary folks' entire life and someone who 218 00:11:27,720 --> 00:11:30,960 Speaker 3: only cares about himself, between someone who tells the truth, 219 00:11:31,200 --> 00:11:32,920 Speaker 3: who knows right and wrong and will give it to 220 00:11:32,960 --> 00:11:35,760 Speaker 3: the American people straight, and someone who lies through his 221 00:11:35,800 --> 00:11:38,880 Speaker 3: teeth for his own benefit. Last night didn't change that, 222 00:11:38,960 --> 00:11:41,160 Speaker 3: and that's why so much is at stake in November. 223 00:11:41,480 --> 00:11:44,920 Speaker 3: So that's Obama trying to tell Democrats circle the wabbit wagons. Now, 224 00:11:44,960 --> 00:11:49,640 Speaker 3: David Axelrod, Obama's political guru, here's what he put out. 225 00:11:49,679 --> 00:11:54,000 Speaker 3: He said, quote reality check. Joe Biden is the nominee 226 00:11:54,000 --> 00:11:58,120 Speaker 3: of the Democratic Party, nominated by voters in primaries across 227 00:11:58,160 --> 00:12:04,360 Speaker 3: the country. Unless the potus himself decides to quit, which 228 00:12:04,400 --> 00:12:09,080 Speaker 3: he won't. That issue is settled. The discussion that is 229 00:12:09,120 --> 00:12:12,600 Speaker 3: going on now was timely a year ago when few 230 00:12:12,679 --> 00:12:16,560 Speaker 3: wanted to have it. It's largely irrelevant today now point 231 00:12:16,600 --> 00:12:19,320 Speaker 3: out a year ago Axelrod was saying this. He was saying, 232 00:12:19,800 --> 00:12:24,000 Speaker 3: Biden's too old. But what is striking so You've got 233 00:12:24,040 --> 00:12:29,360 Speaker 3: a couple of folks there saying stick with stick with Biden. 234 00:12:29,760 --> 00:12:31,960 Speaker 3: But you've also got the New York Times, and the 235 00:12:31,960 --> 00:12:36,720 Speaker 3: New York Times put out a blistering editorial, a blistering 236 00:12:36,880 --> 00:12:41,320 Speaker 3: editorial calling on Biden to drop out, saying his candidacy 237 00:12:41,520 --> 00:12:44,520 Speaker 3: is a reckless gamble. And it's not just the New 238 00:12:44,600 --> 00:12:49,080 Speaker 3: York Times. The Chicago Tribune also called on Biden to 239 00:12:49,160 --> 00:12:54,000 Speaker 3: drop out. The Washington Post editorial board strongly suggested that 240 00:12:54,120 --> 00:12:56,280 Speaker 3: Biden quit the race. And so, if you look at 241 00:12:56,320 --> 00:13:03,240 Speaker 3: the powers that be in the Democrat Party, the corporate 242 00:13:03,360 --> 00:13:07,280 Speaker 3: media is intertwined and is in fact the left wing 243 00:13:07,320 --> 00:13:10,160 Speaker 3: of the Democrat Party. And seeing the New York Times, 244 00:13:10,160 --> 00:13:13,680 Speaker 3: the Chicago Tribune, and the Washington Post all coming out 245 00:13:13,679 --> 00:13:17,480 Speaker 3: against Biden, We've never seen anything like that in his 246 00:13:17,640 --> 00:13:18,520 Speaker 3: entire presidency. 247 00:13:18,679 --> 00:13:20,439 Speaker 2: Well, we also have the Seer Report, and I want 248 00:13:20,440 --> 00:13:22,800 Speaker 2: to get your reaction from NBC News, it said that 249 00:13:23,080 --> 00:13:27,920 Speaker 2: President Joe Biden is having a family cumbea meeting Sunday 250 00:13:28,480 --> 00:13:32,520 Speaker 2: to talk about his re election campaign with family, following 251 00:13:32,559 --> 00:13:35,800 Speaker 2: a nationally televised debate that left many fellow Democrats worried 252 00:13:35,800 --> 00:13:38,199 Speaker 2: about his ability to beat former President Donald Trump. So 253 00:13:38,200 --> 00:13:40,040 Speaker 2: they're not really worried about his cognitive decline. They're just 254 00:13:40,040 --> 00:13:42,400 Speaker 2: worried about the fact you may lose. And in that 255 00:13:42,520 --> 00:13:45,080 Speaker 2: article it said quote Biden was ascribed by one person 256 00:13:45,160 --> 00:13:49,280 Speaker 2: familiar with his mood as humiliated, devoid of confidence, and 257 00:13:49,400 --> 00:13:53,000 Speaker 2: painfully aware that the physical images of him at the 258 00:13:53,040 --> 00:13:58,800 Speaker 2: debate ies staring into the distance, mouth agape, will live 259 00:13:58,920 --> 00:14:05,880 Speaker 2: beyond his pency. Now, that's what NBC News reported about 260 00:14:06,080 --> 00:14:10,720 Speaker 2: his general, I guess mood. And then there was other 261 00:14:10,800 --> 00:14:13,640 Speaker 2: things that were said in there, basically that look, this 262 00:14:13,720 --> 00:14:18,240 Speaker 2: is a guy who is smashing the glass in the 263 00:14:18,240 --> 00:14:21,080 Speaker 2: glass in case of emergency phase of his presidency, is 264 00:14:21,120 --> 00:14:22,160 Speaker 2: how they described it. 265 00:14:22,280 --> 00:14:24,320 Speaker 1: That's coming from NBC. That's shocking. 266 00:14:24,800 --> 00:14:26,680 Speaker 3: Yeah, and let me say the point you made just 267 00:14:26,720 --> 00:14:30,080 Speaker 3: there is really important. The Democrats who are panicking, who 268 00:14:30,120 --> 00:14:32,920 Speaker 3: are freaking out, the editorial boards, who are panicking and 269 00:14:32,960 --> 00:14:36,440 Speaker 3: freaking out, they don't care that the president of the 270 00:14:36,560 --> 00:14:40,280 Speaker 3: United States is not mentally competent. They don't care that 271 00:14:40,320 --> 00:14:43,760 Speaker 3: the President of the United States is, in the words 272 00:14:43,800 --> 00:14:48,000 Speaker 3: of the Biden Department of Justice, not mentally fit to 273 00:14:48,080 --> 00:14:50,960 Speaker 3: stand trial, not competent to stand trial. They don't care 274 00:14:50,960 --> 00:14:53,160 Speaker 3: about that they don't care that the commander in chief 275 00:14:53,160 --> 00:14:55,800 Speaker 3: can't string two sentences together. Look, the man I saw 276 00:14:55,840 --> 00:14:57,680 Speaker 3: on that debate stage, I'm not sure i'd let him 277 00:14:57,760 --> 00:15:02,120 Speaker 3: drive a car, much less have his finger on the button. Yeah, 278 00:15:02,440 --> 00:15:04,840 Speaker 3: no Democrat cares about that at all. They don't care 279 00:15:04,880 --> 00:15:07,600 Speaker 3: that the White House is saying he can't handle any 280 00:15:07,600 --> 00:15:10,040 Speaker 3: crisis that happens if it happens before ten am or 281 00:15:10,080 --> 00:15:12,920 Speaker 3: after four pm, and and and even then it's it's 282 00:15:12,960 --> 00:15:15,640 Speaker 3: it's touch and go. None of that matters. The reason 283 00:15:15,640 --> 00:15:18,120 Speaker 3: they're they're panicking is one thing. They're like, uh, oh, 284 00:15:18,440 --> 00:15:21,440 Speaker 3: he's gonna lose. He's gonna lose to Trump, and then 285 00:15:21,520 --> 00:15:23,200 Speaker 3: suddenly like, okay, now it's a problem. 286 00:15:23,200 --> 00:15:24,240 Speaker 4: Now we need someone else. 287 00:15:24,960 --> 00:15:28,960 Speaker 3: It really is sad that that there is no one 288 00:15:29,080 --> 00:15:33,800 Speaker 3: stepping forward and saying this is this is dangerous for America. Look, 289 00:15:33,800 --> 00:15:36,720 Speaker 3: if you haven't seen it, one thing I retweeted, and 290 00:15:36,760 --> 00:15:38,960 Speaker 3: it's visual, so it's gonna be very hard to describe 291 00:15:39,000 --> 00:15:43,480 Speaker 3: on an audio pod. But John Stewart, right after the 292 00:15:43,480 --> 00:15:49,200 Speaker 3: debate put together a montage of images of Biden when 293 00:15:49,200 --> 00:15:55,320 Speaker 3: he wasn't speaking, and it is damning. It's hysterical, but 294 00:15:55,440 --> 00:15:57,920 Speaker 3: it is damning. You just read that quote from NBC News, 295 00:15:57,960 --> 00:16:02,720 Speaker 3: the look of just comple elite confusion. Didn't know where 296 00:16:02,720 --> 00:16:09,560 Speaker 3: he was, just looking around like someone clearly not in 297 00:16:09,600 --> 00:16:12,400 Speaker 3: control of his faculties. And here's how John Stewart, the comedian, 298 00:16:12,440 --> 00:16:16,160 Speaker 3: referred to it. He said, it's not often you see 299 00:16:16,160 --> 00:16:20,960 Speaker 3: someone with resting twenty fifth Amendment face. That was John 300 00:16:21,000 --> 00:16:23,880 Speaker 3: Stewart's phrase. And by the way, the twenty fifth Amendment 301 00:16:23,920 --> 00:16:27,760 Speaker 3: is the amendment to the Constitution that provides for removing 302 00:16:27,800 --> 00:16:31,480 Speaker 3: a president from office, a sitting president when he is 303 00:16:31,520 --> 00:16:35,520 Speaker 3: no longer competent to do the job. And that look, 304 00:16:36,240 --> 00:16:38,320 Speaker 3: that's the punchline of a joke, but it's not much 305 00:16:38,360 --> 00:16:38,800 Speaker 3: of a joke. 306 00:16:39,400 --> 00:16:40,720 Speaker 1: Yeah, it's a great point. 307 00:16:40,720 --> 00:16:42,160 Speaker 2: I got to ask you about the twenty fifth in 308 00:16:42,200 --> 00:16:44,160 Speaker 2: a moment because there's a lot of people asking questions 309 00:16:44,160 --> 00:16:44,600 Speaker 2: about that. 310 00:16:45,040 --> 00:16:47,200 Speaker 1: But let me tell you real quick about my friends 311 00:16:47,240 --> 00:16:47,800 Speaker 1: over chalk. 312 00:16:47,920 --> 00:16:51,160 Speaker 2: As I mentioned, when you get older, you start to 313 00:16:51,200 --> 00:16:53,480 Speaker 2: get that fatigue that sits in you feel like you 314 00:16:53,520 --> 00:16:55,240 Speaker 2: don't have that energy to go work out. 315 00:16:55,680 --> 00:16:58,880 Speaker 1: Maybe you started getting weight.

Senator, you mentioned the twenty fifth and it's 343 00:18:32,760 --> 00:18:37,080 Speaker 2: a complicated issue. Can you break it down. Let's say 344 00:18:37,119 --> 00:18:39,679 Speaker 2: that he has a meeting with the family. It comes 345 00:18:39,720 --> 00:18:42,679 Speaker 2: out this week that he's not going anywhere after this 346 00:18:42,800 --> 00:18:46,880 Speaker 2: family meeting.

How does it work, 348 00:18:50,080 --> 00:18:52,480 Speaker 2: How does the twenty fifth work? And would Republicans have 349 00:18:52,560 --> 00:18:53,280 Speaker 2: to go with it? 350 00:18:54,359 --> 00:18:54,719 Speaker 4: No? 351 00:18:54,720 --> 00:18:57,399 Speaker 3: No, it can be done by the Vice president and 352 00:18:57,440 --> 00:19:01,199 Speaker 3: a majority of the cabinet. And the vision that is 353 00:19:01,240 --> 00:19:03,520 Speaker 3: relevant the twenty fifth Amendment is Section four of the 354 00:19:03,960 --> 00:19:08,040 Speaker 3: twenty fifth Amendment. Here's what section four says. Quote, whenever 355 00:19:08,080 --> 00:19:10,920 Speaker 3: the Vice President and a majority of either the principal 356 00:19:11,480 --> 00:19:15,919 Speaker 3: officers of the executive departments that means the cabinet members, 357 00:19:16,480 --> 00:19:18,680 Speaker 3: or of such other body as Congress may by law 358 00:19:18,720 --> 00:19:22,240 Speaker 3: provide transmit to the President pro Tempore of the Senate 359 00:19:22,280 --> 00:19:24,879 Speaker 3: and the Speaker of the House of Representatives their written 360 00:19:24,960 --> 00:19:28,320 Speaker 3: declaration that the President is unable to discharge the powers 361 00:19:28,320 --> 00:19:32,000 Speaker 3: and duties of his office. The Vice President shall immediately 362 00:19:32,040 --> 00:19:37,000 Speaker 3: assume the powers and duties of the office as acting President. Thereafter, 363 00:19:37,680 --> 00:19:40,720 Speaker 3: when the President transmits to the President pro Tempore of 364 00:19:40,760 --> 00:19:43,639 Speaker 3: the Senate and the Speaker of the House of Representatives 365 00:19:43,640 --> 00:19:48,040 Speaker 3: his written declaration that no inability exists, he shall resume 366 00:19:48,080 --> 00:19:51,960 Speaker 3: the powers and duties of his office, unless the Vice 367 00:19:52,000 --> 00:19:54,600 Speaker 3: President a majority of either the principal officers of the 368 00:19:54,640 --> 00:19:57,879 Speaker 3: Executive Department, or as such other body as Congress may 369 00:19:57,960 --> 00:20:01,480 Speaker 3: by law provide, transmit within four days to the President 370 00:20:01,520 --> 00:20:03,240 Speaker 3: pro Tempore of the Senate and the Speaker of the 371 00:20:03,280 --> 00:20:06,680 Speaker 3: House of Representatives their written declaration that the President is 372 00:20:06,760 --> 00:20:10,520 Speaker 3: unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office. Thereupon, 373 00:20:11,520 --> 00:20:16,119 Speaker 3: Congress shall decide the issue, assembling within forty eight hours 374 00:20:16,160 --> 00:20:21,200 Speaker 3: for that purpose, if not in session, if the Congress 375 00:20:20,600 --> 00:20:25,359 Speaker 3: within twenty one days after receipt of the latter written declaration, 376 00:20:26,280 --> 00:20:28,560 Speaker 3: or if Congress is not in session within twenty one 377 00:20:28,680 --> 00:20:33,160 Speaker 3: days after Congress is required to assemble, determines by two 378 00:20:33,280 --> 00:20:36,920 Speaker 3: thirds vote of both houses that the president is unable 379 00:20:36,960 --> 00:20:39,840 Speaker 3: to discharge the power and duties of his office. The 380 00:20:39,960 --> 00:20:45,000 Speaker 3: vice president shall continue to discharge the same as acting president. Otherwise, 381 00:20:45,440 --> 00:20:49,080 Speaker 3: the president shall resume the powers and duties of his office. 382 00:20:49,440 --> 00:20:53,000 Speaker 2: So this could happen in theory if they decided to 383 00:20:53,040 --> 00:20:55,240 Speaker 2: do it, but it would take Kamala Harrison the cabinet 384 00:20:55,359 --> 00:20:58,280 Speaker 2: going against the president very quickly. 385 00:20:59,440 --> 00:21:00,160 Speaker 4: It could happen. 386 00:21:01,600 --> 00:21:04,960 Speaker 3: If you had a written declaration signed by Kamala Harris 387 00:21:05,600 --> 00:21:09,040 Speaker 3: and a majority of the cabinet, they would submit that 388 00:21:09,119 --> 00:21:12,760 Speaker 3: rec written declaration to the President pro Tem of the 389 00:21:12,760 --> 00:21:15,320 Speaker 3: Senate and the Speaker of the House. And as soon 390 00:21:15,359 --> 00:21:18,720 Speaker 3: as they do so, Kamala Harris is the acting president. 391 00:21:18,800 --> 00:21:21,960 Speaker 3: Joe Biden is no longer the president. Now the next 392 00:21:22,040 --> 00:21:25,880 Speaker 3: step would beat is Joe Biden fight him. Joe Biden 393 00:21:25,960 --> 00:21:29,680 Speaker 3: could then submit a written statement saying I'm just fine, damnit. 394 00:21:30,640 --> 00:21:34,440 Speaker 3: And if that happens, then it gets kicked to Congress 395 00:21:35,119 --> 00:21:38,480 Speaker 3: and Congress has to decide. And it takes two thirds 396 00:21:38,520 --> 00:21:42,360 Speaker 3: of both houses to conclude that the president is unable 397 00:21:43,080 --> 00:21:46,919 Speaker 3: to perform his duties. And so that listen. That is 398 00:21:46,960 --> 00:21:50,600 Speaker 3: by design a high threshold removing a president is not 399 00:21:50,760 --> 00:21:54,080 Speaker 3: a big deal. Look, if it's triggered by the Vice 400 00:21:54,160 --> 00:21:57,640 Speaker 3: president of majority of the cabinet coming to that conclusion, 401 00:21:58,600 --> 00:22:00,359 Speaker 3: that is a massive shift. 402 00:22:02,480 --> 00:22:06,120 Speaker 2: Obviously, you're like me, we're flying blind because we don't 403 00:22:06,119 --> 00:22:09,359 Speaker 2: have a bunch of insiders at this Biden's White House 404 00:22:09,960 --> 00:22:14,840 Speaker 2: and not many friends in the cabinet. What are the chances, 405 00:22:15,440 --> 00:22:17,880 Speaker 2: just your gut on that even happening. 406 00:22:19,960 --> 00:22:22,560 Speaker 3: Well, I'll give you a little bit of the legal background. 407 00:22:22,600 --> 00:22:25,919 Speaker 3: So the principal draftsman of the amendment was a man 408 00:22:26,040 --> 00:22:28,680 Speaker 3: named John Ferick, and here's what he wrote. He said 409 00:22:28,680 --> 00:22:34,680 Speaker 3: that Congress deliberately left the terms unable and inability undefined quote, 410 00:22:35,040 --> 00:22:39,439 Speaker 3: since cases of inability could take various forms, not neatly 411 00:22:39,480 --> 00:22:43,080 Speaker 3: fitting into a rigid definition. The debates surrounding the twenty 412 00:22:43,080 --> 00:22:45,800 Speaker 3: fifth Amendment indicate that those terms are intended to cover 413 00:22:46,320 --> 00:22:50,320 Speaker 3: all cases in which some condition or circumstance prevents the 414 00:22:50,359 --> 00:22:54,520 Speaker 3: president from discharging his powers and duties. 415 00:22:55,640 --> 00:22:58,639 Speaker 2: So this is again all up to the Democrats. So 416 00:22:58,720 --> 00:23:01,240 Speaker 2: in essence, aside the faith of Joe Biden, whether they 417 00:23:01,320 --> 00:23:04,080 Speaker 2: stick with him, if they can't push him out, or 418 00:23:04,119 --> 00:23:05,879 Speaker 2: if they say, you know what we're going to do 419 00:23:05,920 --> 00:23:07,760 Speaker 2: it anyway because you're not listening to us. 420 00:23:07,760 --> 00:23:08,480 Speaker 1: It's one way or the. 421 00:23:08,520 --> 00:23:09,680 Speaker 4: Other, that's right. 422 00:23:09,720 --> 00:23:13,000 Speaker 3: And by the way, there are fifteen members of the cabinet. 423 00:23:13,600 --> 00:23:17,080 Speaker 3: Secretary of State, Secretary of Treasury, Secretary of Defense, the 424 00:23:17,119 --> 00:23:20,720 Speaker 3: Attorney General, the Secretary of the Interior, the Secretary of Agriculture, 425 00:23:21,000 --> 00:23:23,640 Speaker 3: the Secretary of Commerce, the Secretary of Labor, the Secretary 426 00:23:23,680 --> 00:23:26,199 Speaker 3: of Health and Human Services, the Secretary of Housing and 427 00:23:26,280 --> 00:23:29,840 Speaker 3: Urban Development, the Secretary of Transportation, the Secretary of Energy, 428 00:23:29,840 --> 00:23:33,560 Speaker 3: the Secretary of Education, the Secretary of Veterans Affairs, and 429 00:23:33,600 --> 00:23:36,600 Speaker 3: the Secretary of Homeland Security. And so it is those 430 00:23:36,640 --> 00:23:42,440 Speaker 3: fifteen eight of them, plus Kamala Harris could remove Joe 431 00:23:42,440 --> 00:23:44,040 Speaker 3: Biden as president today. 432 00:23:45,080 --> 00:23:47,520 Speaker 2: Let me ask you another question, and that is Joe 433 00:23:47,600 --> 00:23:51,879 Speaker 2: Biden moving forward if he stays. There's another debate on 434 00:23:51,920 --> 00:23:55,760 Speaker 2: the schedule. There was an interesting commentary on Fox about this, 435 00:23:55,920 --> 00:23:58,800 Speaker 2: and I want you to listen and get your reaction. 436 00:23:58,600 --> 00:24:01,320 Speaker 5: In the offering before or that we get to that. 437 00:24:01,400 --> 00:24:03,440 Speaker 5: I want to collaborate on that a little bit. I 438 00:24:03,560 --> 00:24:06,480 Speaker 5: want to I want to ask you, you've worked in 439 00:24:06,520 --> 00:24:11,320 Speaker 5: white houses, how could the advisors who've been working closely 440 00:24:11,359 --> 00:24:13,280 Speaker 5: with him. I mean, they prepped him for a week. 441 00:24:14,520 --> 00:24:18,200 Speaker 1: In detail. I mean, they clearly knew his capacities. 442 00:24:18,400 --> 00:24:21,520 Speaker 5: Okay, they know that enough because they always lay him 443 00:24:21,520 --> 00:24:23,439 Speaker 5: out with a teleprompter. They don't give him a lot 444 00:24:23,480 --> 00:24:27,800 Speaker 5: of impromptu possibilities. They write scripts for him. How could 445 00:24:27,800 --> 00:24:29,399 Speaker 5: they let this happen? 446 00:24:30,359 --> 00:24:35,680 Speaker 6: Paul, I don't know, And that is the great unanswered question. Look, 447 00:24:35,720 --> 00:24:39,680 Speaker 6: the people in the White House not only know his capabilities, 448 00:24:39,960 --> 00:24:41,960 Speaker 6: they deal with him day in and day out. 449 00:24:42,400 --> 00:24:44,639 Speaker 1: They never should have agreed to this debate. 450 00:24:45,040 --> 00:24:48,639 Speaker 6: It was completely unnecessary, and they had to know about 451 00:24:48,640 --> 00:24:52,480 Speaker 6: his limitations and bluntly a week out, ten days out. 452 00:24:52,520 --> 00:24:56,280 Speaker 6: If they sensed this, there was ample opportunity for an 453 00:24:56,359 --> 00:25:01,280 Speaker 6: international crisis or crisis to lead to a cancel. Every 454 00:25:01,359 --> 00:25:05,240 Speaker 6: decision the White House staff made, including the briefing for 455 00:25:05,359 --> 00:25:10,000 Speaker 6: Thursday night, failed, But the fundamental judgment on this debate 456 00:25:10,040 --> 00:25:12,160 Speaker 6: and participation was the wrong one. 457 00:25:12,960 --> 00:25:16,920 Speaker 2: That's a former advisor to the Clinton White House who's 458 00:25:16,920 --> 00:25:20,280 Speaker 2: saying that, how on earth would you even move forward 459 00:25:20,440 --> 00:25:23,240 Speaker 2: if he stays? Is he stuck? Now he's got to 460 00:25:23,280 --> 00:25:25,840 Speaker 2: do the second debate? Or would you cancel and use whatever? 461 00:25:25,960 --> 00:25:27,720 Speaker 1: Bs? Hey, I've got a cold, so I can't show 462 00:25:27,800 --> 00:25:28,240 Speaker 1: up tonight. 463 00:25:28,920 --> 00:25:29,639 Speaker 4: Look who knows. 464 00:25:29,960 --> 00:25:32,879 Speaker 3: I mean, let me point out that once again shows 465 00:25:32,920 --> 00:25:36,120 Speaker 3: the cynicism of today's Democrats. You know what he's saying 466 00:25:36,200 --> 00:25:38,160 Speaker 3: there is they should never agree to the debate. Why 467 00:25:38,240 --> 00:25:40,240 Speaker 3: because he's not mentally competent at all. And if he 468 00:25:40,240 --> 00:25:42,720 Speaker 3: does a debate, the American people will realize that their 469 00:25:42,720 --> 00:25:46,160 Speaker 3: commander in chief, like can't tie his own shoes. They're 470 00:25:46,200 --> 00:25:50,119 Speaker 3: not worried about having a president who can't tie his 471 00:25:50,160 --> 00:25:52,960 Speaker 3: own shoes. They're not worried about having a president whom 472 00:25:53,000 --> 00:25:55,400 Speaker 3: our enemies think is a joke. They're not worried about 473 00:25:55,440 --> 00:25:58,120 Speaker 3: having a president who the people who wish harmon America 474 00:25:58,160 --> 00:26:01,040 Speaker 3: look to, I mean, every enemy of America watched that 475 00:26:01,160 --> 00:26:05,000 Speaker 3: debate Thursday night, and listen, if you want to do 476 00:26:05,040 --> 00:26:11,440 Speaker 3: something bad, talk about a screaming invitation. There is nobody 477 00:26:11,880 --> 00:26:18,639 Speaker 3: in this White House who is scaring, intimidating anyone. And 478 00:26:18,960 --> 00:26:22,439 Speaker 3: that's really bad that that. Look, it was painful to 479 00:26:22,520 --> 00:26:23,320 Speaker 3: watch the debate. 480 00:26:23,359 --> 00:26:28,280 Speaker 4: It it It was yes, and there. 481 00:26:28,320 --> 00:26:31,120 Speaker 2: Is Someone described it to me afterwards and the analogy 482 00:26:31,200 --> 00:26:33,439 Speaker 2: was spot on. It was like watching a funeral of 483 00:26:33,480 --> 00:26:34,920 Speaker 2: a person that was still alive. 484 00:26:35,400 --> 00:26:38,840 Speaker 3: And by the way, has a single Democrat has a 485 00:26:38,880 --> 00:26:42,080 Speaker 3: single media outlet apologize to the American people for lying 486 00:26:42,119 --> 00:26:44,880 Speaker 3: for the past three years. Yeah, because they've said, over 487 00:26:44,920 --> 00:26:47,440 Speaker 3: and over again, Oh, he's fit, he's so able, he's 488 00:26:47,960 --> 00:26:50,960 Speaker 3: he's like the smartest, most brilliant person you've ever seen. 489 00:26:51,720 --> 00:26:53,920 Speaker 3: They knew that was a lie. They knew that was 490 00:26:53,960 --> 00:26:56,560 Speaker 3: a lie before the debate, and they kept on telling 491 00:26:56,600 --> 00:26:59,440 Speaker 3: that lie. They kept on telling that lie over and 492 00:26:59,560 --> 00:27:01,159 Speaker 3: over and over again. 493 00:27:01,960 --> 00:27:03,920 Speaker 2: By the way, it's interesting that a lot of the 494 00:27:03,920 --> 00:27:06,080 Speaker 2: people the Democratic Party are saying he's got to go. 495 00:27:06,280 --> 00:27:08,159 Speaker 2: All these editorials are saying he's got to go that 496 00:27:08,200 --> 00:27:12,240 Speaker 2: you mentioned, But there's two old people in Washington, Chuck 497 00:27:12,240 --> 00:27:16,440 Speaker 2: Schumer and Nancy Pelosi. They're acting like the debate the 498 00:27:16,480 --> 00:27:19,680 Speaker 2: other night didn't even happen. Here is Nancy Pelosi when 499 00:27:19,720 --> 00:27:22,040 Speaker 2: she was asked a question about it, what do you make. 500 00:27:21,960 --> 00:27:25,400 Speaker 1: The Democrats of calling for by the business. I don't 501 00:27:25,440 --> 00:27:27,640 Speaker 1: know who's doing that. I don't know who's doing that. 502 00:27:28,640 --> 00:27:30,600 Speaker 2: I don't know who's doing that.

By the way, 572 00:30:46,800 --> 00:30:48,880 Speaker 3: twenty twelve is what I was elected. That that was 573 00:30:48,920 --> 00:30:51,600 Speaker 3: the vice president who swore me in. That's the Joe 574 00:30:51,600 --> 00:30:53,920 Speaker 3: Biden who I knew, who swore me in and and 575 00:30:54,080 --> 00:30:56,400 Speaker 3: and you look at his line to to to Paul Ryan. 576 00:30:56,400 --> 00:30:57,560 Speaker 4: Oh, now you're Jack Kennedy. 577 00:30:57,600 --> 00:30:59,960 Speaker 3: I mean, and he's if you watch the video, he's 578 00:31:00,080 --> 00:31:03,840 Speaker 3: grinning ear to ear.

Now listen 580 00:31:07,440 --> 00:31:11,200 Speaker 3: to to to just a snippet from from Thursday night, 581 00:31:11,240 --> 00:31:11,960 Speaker 3: twelve years later. 582 00:31:12,920 --> 00:31:15,160 Speaker 8: You can see he is six foot five and only 583 00:31:15,160 --> 00:31:19,680 Speaker 8: two hundred and twenty thirty pounds thirty five pounds. Well 584 00:31:19,720 --> 00:31:24,160 Speaker 8: you said six four two hundred anyway, that's a year. Anyway. 585 00:31:24,560 --> 00:31:26,040 Speaker 8: Just take a look at what he says he is, 586 00:31:26,120 --> 00:31:28,360 Speaker 8: and take a look at what he is. Look, I'd 587 00:31:28,360 --> 00:31:30,560 Speaker 8: be happy to have a driving contest in him. I 588 00:31:31,120 --> 00:31:34,640 Speaker 8: got my handicap, which when I was vice president down 589 00:31:34,680 --> 00:31:38,880 Speaker 8: to a six. And but by the way I told 590 00:31:38,880 --> 00:31:40,760 Speaker 8: you before, I'm happy to play golf. If you carry 591 00:31:40,800 --> 00:31:43,280 Speaker 8: your own bag, I think you can do it. 592 00:31:44,120 --> 00:31:45,040 Speaker 6: That's the biggest lie. 593 00:31:45,200 --> 00:31:47,080 Speaker 1: He's a six handicap, of all. 594 00:31:47,320 --> 00:31:51,720 Speaker 8: I was an eight handicap now eight. But I you know. 595 00:31:52,520 --> 00:31:53,280 Speaker 1: I've seen this wig. 596 00:31:53,360 --> 00:31:54,320 Speaker 8: I know you Wig. 597 00:31:55,920 --> 00:31:58,760 Speaker 1: President, I mean you hear that. 598 00:31:58,840 --> 00:32:01,800 Speaker 2: And the funny part was he's the one that was like, hey, 599 00:32:02,600 --> 00:32:04,920 Speaker 2: I'll play golf with you and I'll show you they're 600 00:32:04,960 --> 00:32:06,280 Speaker 2: not even the same human being. 601 00:32:06,680 --> 00:32:11,719 Speaker 3: No, no, it is dramatically different. And listen, all of 602 00:32:11,800 --> 00:32:15,840 Speaker 3: us are aging. All of us will shuffle off this 603 00:32:15,960 --> 00:32:20,120 Speaker 3: mortal coil. We are headed that direction eventually. But different 604 00:32:20,120 --> 00:32:24,479 Speaker 3: people age at different speeds. And Joe Biden is a 605 00:32:24,760 --> 00:32:31,520 Speaker 3: very very old eighty one and the diminishment is indisputable. 606 00:32:32,120 --> 00:32:34,480 Speaker 3: And that's why the Democrat Party and that's why the 607 00:32:34,480 --> 00:32:38,600 Speaker 3: corporate media are panicking. And let's be clear the cover 608 00:32:38,680 --> 00:32:42,960 Speaker 3: of Time magazine that the title is panic with Joe 609 00:32:43,040 --> 00:32:49,240 Speaker 3: Biden walking off the stage, because it is indisputable now 610 00:32:49,880 --> 00:32:53,480 Speaker 3: and none of the Democrats care that it's a problem 611 00:32:53,520 --> 00:32:56,840 Speaker 3: that the president isn't fit. They care that politically the 612 00:32:56,920 --> 00:33:00,320 Speaker 3: voters might be concerned that the president is not fit. 613 00:33:00,920 --> 00:33:03,040 Speaker 2: Yeah, great point there.

Senator, 657 00:35:09,120 --> 00:35:11,759 Speaker 2: there's another important issue. I know you wanted to bring up. 658 00:35:11,840 --> 00:35:14,160 Speaker 2: It is one that has not been on the front 659 00:35:14,160 --> 00:35:17,440 Speaker 2: pages of newspapers, and that doesn't mean it's not important. 660 00:35:17,480 --> 00:35:21,200 Speaker 2: In fact, it's very important. Explain to us about this 661 00:35:21,320 --> 00:35:22,799 Speaker 2: significant ruling that came down. 662 00:35:23,600 --> 00:35:26,719 Speaker 3: So last week, the US Supreme Court decided a decision 663 00:35:26,840 --> 00:35:31,799 Speaker 3: called Lope or Bright Enterprises Versus Raymondo. And what the 664 00:35:31,880 --> 00:35:35,960 Speaker 3: court did is it overruled a nineteen eighty four decision 665 00:35:35,960 --> 00:35:38,759 Speaker 3: of the Supreme Court, the Chevron decision, and that was 666 00:35:38,800 --> 00:35:43,400 Speaker 3: a decision Chevron versus Natural Resources Defense Council. The Chevron 667 00:35:43,480 --> 00:35:47,520 Speaker 3: decision created something that is called Chevron deference. Now, what 668 00:35:47,640 --> 00:35:51,640 Speaker 3: is Chevron deference. It was a doctrine that said, the 669 00:35:51,760 --> 00:35:58,400 Speaker 3: courts will defer to federal agencies on rules and regulations 670 00:35:59,160 --> 00:36:02,920 Speaker 3: so long as that rule and regulation is quote reasonable. 671 00:36:03,640 --> 00:36:09,680 Speaker 3: What it did is it gave enormous powers to unelected bureaucrats, 672 00:36:09,719 --> 00:36:13,560 Speaker 3: and Chevron you can trace in a very direct line 673 00:36:14,239 --> 00:36:17,600 Speaker 3: the rise of the administrative state, the rise of unelected 674 00:36:17,640 --> 00:36:22,160 Speaker 3: bureaucrats issuing rules that are incredibly costly to the American people, 675 00:36:22,200 --> 00:36:25,880 Speaker 3: incredibly harmful to the American people. You can trace that 676 00:36:26,080 --> 00:36:29,759 Speaker 3: rise to the Chevron doctrine, because when an agency of 677 00:36:29,840 --> 00:36:33,359 Speaker 3: unelected bureaucrats issued a brand new rule, the courts would 678 00:36:33,480 --> 00:36:37,120 Speaker 3: enforce that rule and say, well, it's the expert agency, 679 00:36:37,160 --> 00:36:39,880 Speaker 3: and so we're going to give force to what they say, 680 00:36:40,040 --> 00:36:44,319 Speaker 3: even if Congress never passed this into law. And so 681 00:36:45,040 --> 00:36:49,280 Speaker 3: the Court last week overruled Chevron. What that means now 682 00:36:50,360 --> 00:36:53,160 Speaker 3: is that it is Congress. It's the elected members of 683 00:36:53,239 --> 00:36:56,759 Speaker 3: Congress that have to make policy decisions that impact the 684 00:36:56,800 --> 00:37:01,520 Speaker 3: American people, not the army of bureaucrats who have no 685 00:37:01,600 --> 00:37:03,520 Speaker 3: democratic accountability. 686 00:37:04,400 --> 00:37:07,120 Speaker 2: What type of president that will this have moving forward? 687 00:37:07,160 --> 00:37:09,040 Speaker 2: And what is a state of corporations as well? 688 00:37:09,760 --> 00:37:10,000 Speaker 4: Well? 689 00:37:10,040 --> 00:37:13,279 Speaker 3: What it will do is weaken federal regulators. And let's 690 00:37:13,280 --> 00:37:16,400 Speaker 3: take for example, the facts here. So the facts here 691 00:37:18,680 --> 00:37:23,960 Speaker 3: concerned a family fishing company, and the federal government issued 692 00:37:24,520 --> 00:37:28,839 Speaker 3: a regulation that required the family fishing company number one 693 00:37:28,960 --> 00:37:32,560 Speaker 3: to allow a fishing monitor a person on board their ship, 694 00:37:32,680 --> 00:37:37,480 Speaker 3: but also forced the family fishing company to pay the 695 00:37:37,520 --> 00:37:41,040 Speaker 3: salary of the federal fishing monitor, even though the law 696 00:37:41,120 --> 00:37:44,319 Speaker 3: passed by Congress had no such requirement. So, in other words, 697 00:37:44,320 --> 00:37:48,960 Speaker 3: this regulator said, okay, you the fisherman, you got to 698 00:37:49,000 --> 00:37:52,600 Speaker 3: allow a federal bureaucrat on your ship, and you got 699 00:37:52,640 --> 00:37:54,879 Speaker 3: to pay a salary. Why because we said so, Because 700 00:37:54,880 --> 00:37:57,799 Speaker 3: we want you to pay a salary. And the court said, well, 701 00:37:57,800 --> 00:38:00,600 Speaker 3: wait a second. When Congress passed the law, it didn't 702 00:38:00,640 --> 00:38:03,160 Speaker 3: say that where did you this come up with? Where'd 703 00:38:03,160 --> 00:38:04,719 Speaker 3: you come up with this? You just made this up. 704 00:38:04,920 --> 00:38:09,840 Speaker 3: And so in this case I led an amicus brief, 705 00:38:09,880 --> 00:38:11,879 Speaker 3: a friend of the court brief in the Supreme Court. 706 00:38:11,880 --> 00:38:15,799 Speaker 3: It was joined by seventeen other senators. Mike Johnson, the 707 00:38:15,800 --> 00:38:19,120 Speaker 3: Speaker of the House, led an amicus brief in the 708 00:38:19,160 --> 00:38:23,040 Speaker 3: House of Representatives. Let me read you the first couple 709 00:38:23,040 --> 00:38:25,759 Speaker 3: of paragraphs of the brief that I filed in the 710 00:38:25,800 --> 00:38:26,399 Speaker 3: Supreme Court. 711 00:38:26,480 --> 00:38:29,719 Speaker 4: Here's the summary of the argument. Quote. 712 00:38:30,280 --> 00:38:34,960 Speaker 3: The Court should unequivocally abandon the contemporary Chevron deference doctrine 713 00:38:35,000 --> 00:38:39,400 Speaker 3: because it contradicts Articles one, two, and three of the Constitution. 714 00:38:40,480 --> 00:38:45,200 Speaker 3: Decades of application of Chevron deference have facilitated the exercise 715 00:38:45,239 --> 00:38:49,400 Speaker 3: of functions by the executive branch that more properly belong 716 00:38:50,000 --> 00:38:55,480 Speaker 3: to the legislative and judicial branches. Agencies exploit general or 717 00:38:55,480 --> 00:39:00,000 Speaker 3: broad terms and statutes to engage in policy making functions 718 00:39:00,880 --> 00:39:05,000 Speaker 3: of questionable legality, with the assumption that the courts will 719 00:39:05,000 --> 00:39:10,720 Speaker 3: grant deference and not independently evaluate the lawfulness of those 720 00:39:10,840 --> 00:39:16,680 Speaker 3: agency interpretations. And then I quote from a dissent of 721 00:39:16,840 --> 00:39:21,880 Speaker 3: Justice Thomas's quote. The founders expected that the federal government's 722 00:39:21,960 --> 00:39:28,400 Speaker 3: powers would remain separated and the people's liberty secure only 723 00:39:28,520 --> 00:39:34,080 Speaker 3: if the branches could check each other. Therefore, the Constitution 724 00:39:34,360 --> 00:39:39,960 Speaker 3: imposes structural constraints on all three branches and the exercise 725 00:39:40,040 --> 00:39:44,560 Speaker 3: of power free of those accompanying restraints subverts the design 726 00:39:44,680 --> 00:39:50,280 Speaker 3: of the Constitution's ratifiers. The Court agreed with the amicus 727 00:39:50,360 --> 00:39:53,520 Speaker 3: brief that I filed for seventeen senators. It agreed with 728 00:39:53,640 --> 00:39:56,800 Speaker 3: the amicus brief Mike Johnson, the Speaker the House filed 729 00:39:57,080 --> 00:39:59,720 Speaker 3: for a number of House members. And the result today 730 00:40:01,040 --> 00:40:05,080 Speaker 3: is there is more power in the elected members of Congress. 731 00:40:05,600 --> 00:40:10,200 Speaker 3: And the reason that matters is where power resides. You 732 00:40:10,320 --> 00:40:14,320 Speaker 3: want it to reside where there's accountability. If Congress votes 733 00:40:14,400 --> 00:40:18,520 Speaker 3: for an idiotic law that hurts the American people, you 734 00:40:18,520 --> 00:40:20,640 Speaker 3: know what the voters can do. They can throw the 735 00:40:20,680 --> 00:40:25,520 Speaker 3: bums out. If an unelected bureaucrat issues a rule that says, 736 00:40:25,560 --> 00:40:28,000 Speaker 3: I don't know, fishermen, you got to let a bureaucrat 737 00:40:28,040 --> 00:40:30,440 Speaker 3: on your vote and you got to pay a salary. Well, 738 00:40:30,440 --> 00:40:32,920 Speaker 3: you know what, you can't fire that bureaucrat. That bureaucrat 739 00:40:32,920 --> 00:40:35,560 Speaker 3: doesn't run for office, that bureacrat doesn't do town halls, 740 00:40:35,719 --> 00:40:39,960 Speaker 3: that bureaucrat never sees the people he's hurting. And so 741 00:40:40,200 --> 00:40:43,920 Speaker 3: this was a victory for democracy and a victory for 742 00:40:44,000 --> 00:40:48,160 Speaker 3: the Constitution, which of course means democrats and the media 743 00:40:48,480 --> 00:40:49,279 Speaker 3: are horrified. 744 00:40:49,800 --> 00:40:52,879 Speaker 2: You know, this reminds me so much of the parallels 745 00:40:53,160 --> 00:40:55,960 Speaker 2: and what you're describing with what we saw with doctor Fauci. 746 00:40:56,400 --> 00:40:58,799 Speaker 2: A guy elected by no one gets more money than 747 00:40:58,800 --> 00:41:01,000 Speaker 2: anybody else in the United States government. 748 00:41:01,200 --> 00:41:02,399 Speaker 1: Literally, that's not a joke. 749 00:41:02,440 --> 00:41:05,160 Speaker 2: Making more than the president makes and being able to 750 00:41:05,200 --> 00:41:09,040 Speaker 2: basically make up and put laws on all of us 751 00:41:09,120 --> 00:41:12,719 Speaker 2: and certain you know, lockdowns, etc. On all of us 752 00:41:12,760 --> 00:41:14,880 Speaker 2: and change the entire way we did our life, and 753 00:41:14,960 --> 00:41:18,000 Speaker 2: there was in essence no checker balance for him. This 754 00:41:18,080 --> 00:41:21,320 Speaker 2: seems like where the country is moving now, paying attention 755 00:41:21,400 --> 00:41:23,000 Speaker 2: more to these type of situations. 756 00:41:23,920 --> 00:41:26,880 Speaker 3: Well, and look, we see a whole series of decisions 757 00:41:26,880 --> 00:41:30,640 Speaker 3: from the Supreme Court that are all about enforcing the 758 00:41:30,680 --> 00:41:33,880 Speaker 3: Constitution and enhancing democracy. 759 00:41:34,080 --> 00:41:34,600 Speaker 4: You take the. 760 00:41:34,560 --> 00:41:37,840 Speaker 3: Dobbs decision that overturned ROVERSUS weighed what did it do. 761 00:41:38,360 --> 00:41:41,640 Speaker 3: It moved questions of abortion that are hotly contested that 762 00:41:41,680 --> 00:41:46,560 Speaker 3: people passionately disagree on. It moved them to the elected 763 00:41:46,600 --> 00:41:49,320 Speaker 3: branches of government. It moved them to the fifty states, 764 00:41:49,640 --> 00:41:52,360 Speaker 3: where the citizens of each state could decide what should 765 00:41:52,360 --> 00:41:55,640 Speaker 3: the rules be in your state? And nobody would expect 766 00:41:55,640 --> 00:41:58,919 Speaker 3: that Texas would have the same rules that California has 767 00:41:58,960 --> 00:42:02,279 Speaker 3: because the city since have different values and where there 768 00:42:02,280 --> 00:42:05,280 Speaker 3: are contested policy issues that ought to be the voters 769 00:42:05,320 --> 00:42:09,720 Speaker 3: deciding now. Interestingly enough, even though Democrats on the corporate 770 00:42:09,800 --> 00:42:14,120 Speaker 3: media love talking about how much they want to defend democracy, 771 00:42:14,880 --> 00:42:19,520 Speaker 3: they are horrified whenever the voters actually get to decide. 772 00:42:19,560 --> 00:42:24,680 Speaker 3: They want unelected judges deciding so long as they agree 773 00:42:24,680 --> 00:42:27,480 Speaker 3: with what the judges are deciding, and they want unelected 774 00:42:27,520 --> 00:42:30,000 Speaker 3: bureaucrats deciding, and they know they're going to agree with 775 00:42:30,040 --> 00:42:33,520 Speaker 3: that because the bureaucrats are overwhelming the left wing and 776 00:42:33,600 --> 00:42:38,840 Speaker 3: disconnected from the harms that their rules and regulations are causing. 777 00:42:39,239 --> 00:42:42,040 Speaker 2: Yeah, great point, don't forget.
