WEBVTT - Rats Fleeing the Ship: Debate Aftermath & Democrat PANIC 0:00:01.120 --> 0:00:01.520 Welcome. 0:00:01.560 --> 0:00:04.680 It is verdict with Sentater Ted Cruz, Ben Ferguson with 0:00:04.760 --> 0:00:09.799 you as well, Senator. The debate fallout is continuing. You 0:00:09.920 --> 0:00:12.560 thought it was a bad night on debate night, It's 0:00:12.600 --> 0:00:14.400 gotten a lot worse for the president. 0:00:15.600 --> 0:00:19.040 It's gotten much much worse. The debate heard round the world. 0:00:19.760 --> 0:00:22.680 We recorded a special podcast the night of the debate. 0:00:23.480 --> 0:00:25.840 Within an hour of it concluding, we put it out. 0:00:25.880 --> 0:00:28.400 By the way, if you didn't hear our analysis that 0:00:28.480 --> 0:00:30.840 occurred Thursday night, you should go back and listen. 0:00:30.880 --> 0:00:32.159 It was Friday's podcast. 0:00:32.760 --> 0:00:34.880 It was one of the most downloaded pods we've ever 0:00:34.920 --> 0:00:38.320 done because it was immediate analysis of what's happened. We're 0:00:38.360 --> 0:00:40.360 now sitting there a few days later, and a few 0:00:40.440 --> 0:00:44.360 days later, the fallout continues to be massive. I said 0:00:44.440 --> 0:00:48.720 the night of the debate, this is the most consequential 0:00:48.840 --> 0:00:53.639 presidential debate in United States history. I still believe that. 0:00:53.720 --> 0:00:56.520 This weekend, I talked to President Trump. I gave him 0:00:56.520 --> 0:00:58.640 a call. I told him he did a phenomenal job 0:00:59.000 --> 0:01:00.760 on the debate. I told I thought it was his 0:01:00.840 --> 0:01:03.560 best debate performance he's ever done. He and I have 0:01:03.600 --> 0:01:05.880 stood on many of those debate stages together and so 0:01:06.000 --> 0:01:10.160 I'm intimately familiar with how President Trump debates, and I 0:01:10.200 --> 0:01:12.840 think he was as I told him this weekend. He 0:01:13.040 --> 0:01:15.560 was calm, he was measured, he was under control, and 0:01:15.640 --> 0:01:20.000 most importantly, he let Joe Biden talk and hang himself, 0:01:20.040 --> 0:01:23.200 because the greatest damage that was done was when Biden 0:01:23.319 --> 0:01:26.840 was talking and his brain was short circuiting, and the 0:01:27.080 --> 0:01:30.480 entire world saw that. On Thursday night, we're going to 0:01:30.520 --> 0:01:33.360 break down the fallout and what's coming next. We're also 0:01:33.400 --> 0:01:36.600 going to talk about the landmark Supreme Court decision that 0:01:36.720 --> 0:01:40.720 came down last week overruling what's called the Chevron doctrine. 0:01:41.080 --> 0:01:43.679 This is a big victory for the Constitution, this is 0:01:43.680 --> 0:01:47.360 a big victory for democracy. So of course left wingers 0:01:47.400 --> 0:01:51.640 who love the regulatory state are are weeping and gnashing 0:01:51.640 --> 0:01:52.240 their teeth. 0:01:52.480 --> 0:01:54.360 We're going to explain it all. 0:01:54.720 --> 0:01:56.360 I got a lot of questions on the Trump call, 0:01:56.400 --> 0:01:57.600 so we're going to do that in a second. But 0:01:57.680 --> 0:01:59.640 let me tell you about my friends at Blackout Coffee. 0:02:00.120 --> 0:02:03.880 I literally now get dozens of messages from you guys 0:02:04.080 --> 0:02:07.800 almost every week that have now tried Blackout Coffee, and 0:02:07.880 --> 0:02:11.080 the same thing is said virtually every time. Then thank you, 0:02:11.080 --> 0:02:14.760 you weren't joking. This coffee is amazing. It is premium, 0:02:14.840 --> 0:02:18.280 it's next level. It's a great value, but it's premium coffee. Now, 0:02:18.280 --> 0:02:20.560 I start my day every morning on the radio at 0:02:20.560 --> 0:02:22.600 seven am. I've got to be awake, I've got to 0:02:22.639 --> 0:02:24.880 be alert, and I'm not going to have an average 0:02:24.880 --> 0:02:28.280 cup of coffee anymore. I did that for literally decades. 0:02:28.520 --> 0:02:33.480 No longer. Blackout Coffee is premium coffee made by an 0:02:33.480 --> 0:02:38.040 incredible group of people that actually stand for conservative values. 0:02:38.080 --> 0:02:41.120 They started the Blackout Coffee for that reason. You know 0:02:41.280 --> 0:02:43.760 there's a bunch of liberal coffee comings out there. You 0:02:43.840 --> 0:02:46.480 probably thought of a couple names instantly when I said that, 0:02:46.919 --> 0:02:49.560 And that's when they said, no more, We're not giving 0:02:49.639 --> 0:02:52.120 those our money to these woke corporations. We're going to 0:02:52.160 --> 0:02:54.760 start our own, and they did it. Blackout Coffee is 0:02:54.760 --> 0:02:57.600 one hundred percent committed conservative values.

All right, So there's a 0:03:32.680 --> 0:03:35.040 million people that have asked me this question when I've 0:03:35.080 --> 0:03:38.080 had conversations on the phone with Donald Trump. So I'm 0:03:38.080 --> 0:03:40.440 going to ask you the same question that everyone asked me. 0:03:40.880 --> 0:03:42.960 How do you get in touch with Donald Trump when 0:03:43.000 --> 0:03:46.280 you're the one calling him? How does that work? And 0:03:46.320 --> 0:03:49.560 then do you get him right away? So I call 0:03:49.600 --> 0:03:53.040 his phone and it varies. Sometimes sometimes he answers, other 0:03:53.080 --> 0:03:55.120 times he doesn't, and he usually calls me back. In 0:03:55.160 --> 0:03:57.760 this instance, he didn't answer, and he called me back 0:03:57.800 --> 0:04:01.840 about twenty minutes later. And so when he calls you back, like, 0:04:02.000 --> 0:04:04.000 how does it work? Is it talking like to a 0:04:04.040 --> 0:04:05.360 friend or is it more formal? 0:04:05.400 --> 0:04:05.640 What's that? 0:04:06.040 --> 0:04:06.240 Yeah? 0:04:06.240 --> 0:04:09.000 Oh yeah, Look, I mean President Trump and I have 0:04:09.120 --> 0:04:12.480 been through a lot of battles together, uh, initially on 0:04:12.480 --> 0:04:14.640 on opposite sides and then for a lot of years 0:04:14.680 --> 0:04:17.760 side by side when he was president I was by 0:04:17.839 --> 0:04:20.480 far his strongest ally in the US Senate all four 0:04:20.560 --> 0:04:23.159 years of his presidency. And and so he and I 0:04:23.200 --> 0:04:25.640 talk regularly, but just after this debate, I wanted to 0:04:25.640 --> 0:04:28.240 call and tell him I thought he did really a 0:04:28.320 --> 0:04:30.480 terrific job. And and and and as I said, it's 0:04:30.520 --> 0:04:34.600 the best I've seen him. Because he was measured in 0:04:34.600 --> 0:04:39.720 in control. He didn't he didn't let Biden bait him excessively. 0:04:39.760 --> 0:04:41.479 Biden was trying to bate him, and he didn't. He 0:04:41.520 --> 0:04:45.640 didn't take the bait. And and in particular, he gave 0:04:46.000 --> 0:04:49.680 Biden airtime. That's not ant natural instinct for President Trump. 0:04:49.720 --> 0:04:53.640 He he he likes to fill up the oxygen. But 0:04:54.279 --> 0:04:57.200 what needed to happen is for people to see just 0:04:57.279 --> 0:04:59.800 how diminish Joe Biden was. And the only way to 0:04:59.839 --> 0:05:02.400 do that is to keep your mouth shut and force 0:05:02.520 --> 0:05:08.360 Biden to talk. Ironically, the thing that really hammered Biden 0:05:08.520 --> 0:05:11.400 was the thing he and his team insisted upon, which 0:05:11.440 --> 0:05:13.680 is the microphones being shut off when the other person 0:05:13.760 --> 0:05:17.960 was talking. That meant that neither candidate had an incentive 0:05:18.760 --> 0:05:22.719 or temptation to interrupt because their mic was off, And 0:05:22.800 --> 0:05:24.400 so it wouldn't be hurt if they did try to 0:05:24.400 --> 0:05:29.160 interrupt that ended up leaving Joe Biden alone on a 0:05:29.200 --> 0:05:32.279 sinking ship because the only thing that could rescue him 0:05:32.320 --> 0:05:35.680 was his own words. And we saw multiple times where 0:05:35.680 --> 0:05:39.080 he just got completely confused and lost and didn't know 0:05:39.080 --> 0:05:41.680 what he was saying. And you could see it on 0:05:41.720 --> 0:05:45.960 the expression of the moderators of Jake Tapper and Dana Bash. 0:05:46.040 --> 0:05:51.120 They both looked with complete horror at just how much 0:05:51.200 --> 0:05:52.640 Joe Biden was crashing and burning. 0:05:53.240 --> 0:05:57.800 What was President Trump's just reaction to Biden. Did he 0:05:57.920 --> 0:05:59.720 even think it would go this well for him or 0:05:59.760 --> 0:06:02.480 really this bad for Joe Biden? Was he is as 0:06:02.560 --> 0:06:04.640 much shocked as I think everyone else that was watching. 0:06:05.080 --> 0:06:07.479 Well, look, I don't want to share what he said 0:06:07.600 --> 0:06:09.960 just because conversations I have with President Trump. I'm going 0:06:10.000 --> 0:06:13.000 to respect what he said. I'll share what I said, though, 0:06:13.480 --> 0:06:16.599 which is that I'm concerned that the debate went so 0:06:16.800 --> 0:06:20.200 well that they're going to yank Biden from the ballot. 0:06:20.400 --> 0:06:23.160 And I repeated to him what I said on the podcast, 0:06:23.720 --> 0:06:29.560 which is that this will be the most consequential debate 0:06:29.640 --> 0:06:34.799 in American history if it ends up changing the names 0:06:34.839 --> 0:06:37.160 on the ballot, if it ends up forcing the Democrat 0:06:37.240 --> 0:06:40.480 Party to pull the plug on Biden and replace him. 0:06:40.520 --> 0:06:43.200 And as I've said multiple times, going back to nine 0:06:43.200 --> 0:06:45.880 months ago, I predicted they would pull pull Biden out 0:06:45.880 --> 0:06:48.720 and replace him with Michelle Obama. I think that will 0:06:48.720 --> 0:06:50.599 happen in the next three weeks. I think we have 0:06:51.080 --> 0:06:52.799 a short fuse on that happening. 0:06:53.440 --> 0:06:53.839 All right. 0:06:53.920 --> 0:06:56.440 So I've got a million questions on that, and I've 0:06:56.440 --> 0:06:58.839 been getting them on social You may have been seeing 0:06:58.839 --> 0:07:02.080 some of the same questions. Democrats say that Donald Trump 0:07:02.160 --> 0:07:04.360 is a threat to democracy, that the Republican Party is 0:07:04.360 --> 0:07:07.080 a threat to democracy, that they're the people that care 0:07:07.080 --> 0:07:14.000 about democracy. How would they justify pulling Biden, replacing them 0:07:14.040 --> 0:07:17.160 with a him, with a candidate that no one voted 0:07:17.200 --> 0:07:21.120 for in an election cycle, and then said, here it is, 0:07:21.880 --> 0:07:25.320 how is that democracy? And it's a fair question. I 0:07:25.320 --> 0:07:27.360 think a lot of Americans are asking right now. 0:07:27.720 --> 0:07:33.080 Well, listen, at the end of the day. Under their rules, 0:07:33.120 --> 0:07:37.120 each party selects their nominee, and they have provisions if 0:07:37.160 --> 0:07:40.960 a nominee is incapacitated. Look, if either Donald Trump or 0:07:41.120 --> 0:07:45.480 Joe Biden fell over dead tomorrow, it's not like the 0:07:45.480 --> 0:07:48.080 Republican or Democrat Party would say Okay, well, I guess 0:07:48.120 --> 0:07:51.600 we don't have a presidential nominee. Never mind, you replace someone, 0:07:51.640 --> 0:07:54.760 and that happens. It has not happened with presidential candidates, 0:07:54.800 --> 0:07:58.920 but it happens sometimes with congressional candidates, sometimes with senate 0:07:58.960 --> 0:08:02.640 candidates or House candidate. It's where people have either they 0:08:04.280 --> 0:08:07.440 die or or they have health issues that prevent them 0:08:07.440 --> 0:08:10.800 from running and and and so the natural way for 0:08:10.840 --> 0:08:15.160 the Democrats to do this would be with Joe Biden's cooperation, 0:08:15.280 --> 0:08:18.320 that he comes forward and says, you know, my health 0:08:18.360 --> 0:08:21.200 has deteriorated such that I'm no longer able to be 0:08:21.240 --> 0:08:21.800 a candidate. 0:08:21.840 --> 0:08:22.640 I thought I would. 0:08:23.040 --> 0:08:26.360 I thought I could when when we launch the campaign, 0:08:26.480 --> 0:08:30.320 but I'm no longer physically able to be a candidate 0:08:30.360 --> 0:08:33.960 for four more years. And in that instance, uh, I 0:08:33.960 --> 0:08:37.719 think we would see the Democrats replacing him. 0:08:38.120 --> 0:08:38.679 Uh. 0:08:38.800 --> 0:08:43.439 The exact procedure is complicated, and it's much more complicated 0:08:43.480 --> 0:08:45.800 if Biden is not willing. If he's not willing, it 0:08:45.840 --> 0:08:51.080 becomes practically impossible. And so a critical critical piece of 0:08:51.120 --> 0:08:56.240 this is can the graybeards of the Democrat Party collectively 0:08:56.360 --> 0:08:58.040 pressure him to say enough is enough? 0:08:58.640 --> 0:09:01.400 Yeah, they certainly don't seem to be leaning towards him 0:09:01.480 --> 0:09:04.160 dropping out. They've been doubling down. They had their event 0:09:04.320 --> 0:09:07.520 after that night of the debate, and the next day 0:09:07.559 --> 0:09:09.600 they had another event, and they're trying to get him 0:09:09.600 --> 0:09:12.360 out there looking like everything's fine and quote, he just 0:09:12.400 --> 0:09:14.080 had a cold. That was one of the parts that 0:09:14.280 --> 0:09:16.920 made me laugh was how they're like, well, we had a cold, 0:09:16.960 --> 0:09:18.280 he had a cold. Well, this was just because he 0:09:18.320 --> 0:09:20.920 had a cold. I don't think that helps him. 0:09:20.960 --> 0:09:21.520 I don't think. 0:09:21.360 --> 0:09:24.560 People will believe that it was a cold that caused 0:09:24.600 --> 0:09:27.559 him to have a terrible night. It's insulting, I think 0:09:27.559 --> 0:09:29.480 too many voters. I actually think that can make it 0:09:29.480 --> 0:09:30.160 even worse. 0:09:30.440 --> 0:09:34.680 Well, and the White House spin was, well, he's usually 0:09:34.800 --> 0:09:38.640 lucid between ten am and four pm, and so we've 0:09:38.720 --> 0:09:41.720 just learned to do any White House meetings during those 0:09:41.760 --> 0:09:46.680 hours because that's when his brain operates. And you think 0:09:46.720 --> 0:09:51.480 about that as their explanation, and you're going, oh, okay, 0:09:51.559 --> 0:09:56.120 that's good. Maybe putin and she, but before launching a 0:09:56.240 --> 0:10:00.800 military attack, maybe a terrorist, before murdering America. NS will 0:10:00.800 --> 0:10:03.120 be sure to do it between ten am and four pm, 0:10:03.840 --> 0:10:07.240 because you know, if you do after Luby's is closed, 0:10:07.640 --> 0:10:11.560 after the Jello at the cafeteria. I'm afraid the Commander 0:10:11.600 --> 0:10:13.319 in chief is just not there and not able to 0:10:13.360 --> 0:10:17.560 handle it like that is a terrifying statement, and that 0:10:17.760 --> 0:10:18.880 is from the White House. 0:10:19.440 --> 0:10:22.120 So the only way that this goes smoothly, I guess, 0:10:22.480 --> 0:10:25.800 and this is a great point of clarification, is if 0:10:25.920 --> 0:10:31.880 Joe Biden willingly said an sence, Hey, I'm gonna step aside. 0:10:32.280 --> 0:10:34.199 There's no medication he's going to do that. So far, 0:10:34.280 --> 0:10:36.080 based on what the White House and what Joe Biden 0:10:36.160 --> 0:10:39.000 and the First Lady are doing, they're wanting to squash 0:10:39.080 --> 0:10:42.079 this instantly. We also got a tweet, and I think 0:10:42.120 --> 0:10:45.200 we mentioned in the last pod, but Barack Obama finally 0:10:45.240 --> 0:10:49.000 came out and said, hey, he's our guy. Here's his website, 0:10:49.559 --> 0:10:52.880 basically almost twenty four hours after the disaster of the debate. 0:10:53.480 --> 0:10:55.960 You can read into that what you want. But if 0:10:56.200 --> 0:11:00.000 Joe Biden and Joe Biden say we ain't going anywhere, 0:11:00.720 --> 0:11:05.839 then the Democratic Party in essences has their hands tied 0:11:05.920 --> 0:11:06.440 pretty much. 0:11:06.480 --> 0:11:11.040 Right, Well maybe maybe not so look at the debate 0:11:11.120 --> 0:11:13.800 that is playing out real time. So Barack Obama jumped 0:11:13.800 --> 0:11:15.680 out pretty quickly in his tweet. Let me read it 0:11:15.679 --> 0:11:18.320 all because it's relevant what he said. Obama says, quote 0:11:18.720 --> 0:11:22.040 circle the wagons. Bad debate nights happen, Trust me, I know. 0:11:22.679 --> 0:11:24.800 But this election is still a choice between someone who 0:11:24.800 --> 0:11:27.720 has fought for ordinary folks' entire life and someone who 0:11:27.720 --> 0:11:30.960 only cares about himself, between someone who tells the truth, 0:11:31.200 --> 0:11:32.920 who knows right and wrong and will give it to 0:11:32.960 --> 0:11:35.760 the American people straight, and someone who lies through his 0:11:35.800 --> 0:11:38.880 teeth for his own benefit. Last night didn't change that, 0:11:38.960 --> 0:11:41.160 and that's why so much is at stake in November. 0:11:41.480 --> 0:11:44.920 So that's Obama trying to tell Democrats circle the wabbit wagons. Now, 0:11:44.960 --> 0:11:49.640 David Axelrod, Obama's political guru, here's what he put out. 0:11:49.679 --> 0:11:54.000 He said, quote reality check. Joe Biden is the nominee 0:11:54.000 --> 0:11:58.120 of the Democratic Party, nominated by voters in primaries across 0:11:58.160 --> 0:12:04.360 the country. Unless the potus himself decides to quit, which 0:12:04.400 --> 0:12:09.080 he won't. That issue is settled. The discussion that is 0:12:09.120 --> 0:12:12.600 going on now was timely a year ago when few 0:12:12.679 --> 0:12:16.560 wanted to have it. It's largely irrelevant today now point 0:12:16.600 --> 0:12:19.320 out a year ago Axelrod was saying this. He was saying, 0:12:19.800 --> 0:12:24.000 Biden's too old. But what is striking so You've got 0:12:24.040 --> 0:12:29.360 a couple of folks there saying stick with stick with Biden. 0:12:29.760 --> 0:12:31.960 But you've also got the New York Times, and the 0:12:31.960 --> 0:12:36.720 New York Times put out a blistering editorial, a blistering 0:12:36.880 --> 0:12:41.320 editorial calling on Biden to drop out, saying his candidacy 0:12:41.520 --> 0:12:44.520 is a reckless gamble. And it's not just the New 0:12:44.600 --> 0:12:49.080 York Times. The Chicago Tribune also called on Biden to 0:12:49.160 --> 0:12:54.000 drop out. The Washington Post editorial board strongly suggested that 0:12:54.120 --> 0:12:56.280 Biden quit the race. And so, if you look at 0:12:56.320 --> 0:13:03.240 the powers that be in the Democrat Party, the corporate 0:13:03.360 --> 0:13:07.280 media is intertwined and is in fact the left wing 0:13:07.320 --> 0:13:10.160 of the Democrat Party. And seeing the New York Times, 0:13:10.160 --> 0:13:13.680 the Chicago Tribune, and the Washington Post all coming out 0:13:13.679 --> 0:13:17.480 against Biden, We've never seen anything like that in his 0:13:17.640 --> 0:13:18.520 entire presidency. 0:13:18.679 --> 0:13:20.439 Well, we also have the Seer Report, and I want 0:13:20.440 --> 0:13:22.800 to get your reaction from NBC News, it said that 0:13:23.080 --> 0:13:27.920 President Joe Biden is having a family cumbea meeting Sunday 0:13:28.480 --> 0:13:32.520 to talk about his re election campaign with family, following 0:13:32.559 --> 0:13:35.800 a nationally televised debate that left many fellow Democrats worried 0:13:35.800 --> 0:13:38.199 about his ability to beat former President Donald Trump. So 0:13:38.200 --> 0:13:40.040 they're not really worried about his cognitive decline. They're just 0:13:40.040 --> 0:13:42.400 worried about the fact you may lose. And in that 0:13:42.520 --> 0:13:45.080 article it said quote Biden was ascribed by one person 0:13:45.160 --> 0:13:49.280 familiar with his mood as humiliated, devoid of confidence, and 0:13:49.400 --> 0:13:53.000 painfully aware that the physical images of him at the 0:13:53.040 --> 0:13:58.800 debate ies staring into the distance, mouth agape, will live 0:13:58.920 --> 0:14:05.880 beyond his pency. Now, that's what NBC News reported about 0:14:06.080 --> 0:14:10.720 his general, I guess mood. And then there was other 0:14:10.800 --> 0:14:13.640 things that were said in there, basically that look, this 0:14:13.720 --> 0:14:18.240 is a guy who is smashing the glass in the 0:14:18.240 --> 0:14:21.080 glass in case of emergency phase of his presidency, is 0:14:21.120 --> 0:14:22.160 how they described it. 0:14:22.280 --> 0:14:24.320 That's coming from NBC. That's shocking. 0:14:24.800 --> 0:14:26.680 Yeah, and let me say the point you made just 0:14:26.720 --> 0:14:30.080 there is really important. The Democrats who are panicking, who 0:14:30.120 --> 0:14:32.920 are freaking out, the editorial boards, who are panicking and 0:14:32.960 --> 0:14:36.440 freaking out, they don't care that the president of the 0:14:36.560 --> 0:14:40.280 United States is not mentally competent. They don't care that 0:14:40.320 --> 0:14:43.760 the President of the United States is, in the words 0:14:43.800 --> 0:14:48.000 of the Biden Department of Justice, not mentally fit to 0:14:48.080 --> 0:14:50.960 stand trial, not competent to stand trial. They don't care 0:14:50.960 --> 0:14:53.160 about that they don't care that the commander in chief 0:14:53.160 --> 0:14:55.800 can't string two sentences together. Look, the man I saw 0:14:55.840 --> 0:14:57.680 on that debate stage, I'm not sure i'd let him 0:14:57.760 --> 0:15:02.120 drive a car, much less have his finger on the button. Yeah, 0:15:02.440 --> 0:15:04.840 no Democrat cares about that at all. They don't care 0:15:04.880 --> 0:15:07.600 that the White House is saying he can't handle any 0:15:07.600 --> 0:15:10.040 crisis that happens if it happens before ten am or 0:15:10.080 --> 0:15:12.920 after four pm, and and and even then it's it's 0:15:12.960 --> 0:15:15.640 it's touch and go. None of that matters. The reason 0:15:15.640 --> 0:15:18.120 they're they're panicking is one thing. They're like, uh, oh, 0:15:18.440 --> 0:15:21.440 he's gonna lose. He's gonna lose to Trump, and then 0:15:21.520 --> 0:15:23.200 suddenly like, okay, now it's a problem. 0:15:23.200 --> 0:15:24.240 Now we need someone else. 0:15:24.960 --> 0:15:28.960 It really is sad that that there is no one 0:15:29.080 --> 0:15:33.800 stepping forward and saying this is this is dangerous for America. Look, 0:15:33.800 --> 0:15:36.720 if you haven't seen it, one thing I retweeted, and 0:15:36.760 --> 0:15:38.960 it's visual, so it's gonna be very hard to describe 0:15:39.000 --> 0:15:43.480 on an audio pod. But John Stewart, right after the 0:15:43.480 --> 0:15:49.200 debate put together a montage of images of Biden when 0:15:49.200 --> 0:15:55.320 he wasn't speaking, and it is damning. It's hysterical, but 0:15:55.440 --> 0:15:57.920 it is damning. You just read that quote from NBC News, 0:15:57.960 --> 0:16:02.720 the look of just comple elite confusion. Didn't know where 0:16:02.720 --> 0:16:09.560 he was, just looking around like someone clearly not in 0:16:09.600 --> 0:16:12.400 control of his faculties. And here's how John Stewart, the comedian, 0:16:12.440 --> 0:16:16.160 referred to it. He said, it's not often you see 0:16:16.160 --> 0:16:20.960 someone with resting twenty fifth Amendment face. That was John 0:16:21.000 --> 0:16:23.880 Stewart's phrase. And by the way, the twenty fifth Amendment 0:16:23.920 --> 0:16:27.760 is the amendment to the Constitution that provides for removing 0:16:27.800 --> 0:16:31.480 a president from office, a sitting president when he is 0:16:31.520 --> 0:16:35.520 no longer competent to do the job. And that look, 0:16:36.240 --> 0:16:38.320 that's the punchline of a joke, but it's not much 0:16:38.360 --> 0:16:38.800 of a joke. 0:16:39.400 --> 0:16:40.720 Yeah, it's a great point. 0:16:40.720 --> 0:16:42.160 I got to ask you about the twenty fifth in 0:16:42.200 --> 0:16:44.160 a moment because there's a lot of people asking questions 0:16:44.160 --> 0:16:44.600 about that. 0:16:45.040 --> 0:16:47.200 But let me tell you real quick about my friends 0:16:47.240 --> 0:16:47.800 over chalk. 0:16:47.920 --> 0:16:51.160 As I mentioned, when you get older, you start to 0:16:51.200 --> 0:16:53.480 get that fatigue that sits in you feel like you 0:16:53.520 --> 0:16:55.240 don't have that energy to go work out. 0:16:55.680 --> 0:16:58.880 Maybe you started getting weight.

Senator, you mentioned the twenty fifth and it's 0:18:32.760 --> 0:18:37.080 a complicated issue. Can you break it down. Let's say 0:18:37.119 --> 0:18:39.679 that he has a meeting with the family. It comes 0:18:39.720 --> 0:18:42.679 out this week that he's not going anywhere after this 0:18:42.800 --> 0:18:46.880 family meeting. This koumba ya and Democrats then just say 0:18:46.880 --> 0:18:50.000 we got to turn on this guy. How does it work, 0:18:50.080 --> 0:18:52.480 How does the twenty fifth work? And would Republicans have 0:18:52.560 --> 0:18:53.280 to go with it? 0:18:54.359 --> 0:18:54.719 No? 0:18:54.720 --> 0:18:57.399 No, it can be done by the Vice president and 0:18:57.440 --> 0:19:01.199 a majority of the cabinet. And the vision that is 0:19:01.240 --> 0:19:03.520 relevant the twenty fifth Amendment is Section four of the 0:19:03.960 --> 0:19:08.040 twenty fifth Amendment. Here's what section four says. Quote, whenever 0:19:08.080 --> 0:19:10.920 the Vice President and a majority of either the principal 0:19:11.480 --> 0:19:15.919 officers of the executive departments that means the cabinet members, 0:19:16.480 --> 0:19:18.680 or of such other body as Congress may by law 0:19:18.720 --> 0:19:22.240 provide transmit to the President pro Tempore of the Senate 0:19:22.280 --> 0:19:24.879 and the Speaker of the House of Representatives their written 0:19:24.960 --> 0:19:28.320 declaration that the President is unable to discharge the powers 0:19:28.320 --> 0:19:32.000 and duties of his office. The Vice President shall immediately 0:19:32.040 --> 0:19:37.000 assume the powers and duties of the office as acting President. Thereafter, 0:19:37.680 --> 0:19:40.720 when the President transmits to the President pro Tempore of 0:19:40.760 --> 0:19:43.639 the Senate and the Speaker of the House of Representatives 0:19:43.640 --> 0:19:48.040 his written declaration that no inability exists, he shall resume 0:19:48.080 --> 0:19:51.960 the powers and duties of his office, unless the Vice 0:19:52.000 --> 0:19:54.600 President a majority of either the principal officers of the 0:19:54.640 --> 0:19:57.879 Executive Department, or as such other body as Congress may 0:19:57.960 --> 0:20:01.480 by law provide, transmit within four days to the President 0:20:01.520 --> 0:20:03.240 pro Tempore of the Senate and the Speaker of the 0:20:03.280 --> 0:20:06.680 House of Representatives their written declaration that the President is 0:20:06.760 --> 0:20:10.520 unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office. Thereupon, 0:20:11.520 --> 0:20:16.119 Congress shall decide the issue, assembling within forty eight hours 0:20:16.160 --> 0:20:21.200 for that purpose, if not in session, if the Congress 0:20:20.600 --> 0:20:25.359 within twenty one days after receipt of the latter written declaration, 0:20:26.280 --> 0:20:28.560 or if Congress is not in session within twenty one 0:20:28.680 --> 0:20:33.160 days after Congress is required to assemble, determines by two 0:20:33.280 --> 0:20:36.920 thirds vote of both houses that the president is unable 0:20:36.960 --> 0:20:39.840 to discharge the power and duties of his office. The 0:20:39.960 --> 0:20:45.000 vice president shall continue to discharge the same as acting president. Otherwise, 0:20:45.440 --> 0:20:49.080 the president shall resume the powers and duties of his office. 0:20:49.440 --> 0:20:53.000 So this could happen in theory if they decided to 0:20:53.040 --> 0:20:55.240 do it, but it would take Kamala Harrison the cabinet 0:20:55.359 --> 0:20:58.280 going against the president very quickly. 0:20:59.440 --> 0:21:00.160 It could happen. 0:21:01.600 --> 0:21:04.960 If you had a written declaration signed by Kamala Harris 0:21:05.600 --> 0:21:09.040 and a majority of the cabinet, they would submit that 0:21:09.119 --> 0:21:12.760 rec written declaration to the President pro Tem of the 0:21:12.760 --> 0:21:15.320 Senate and the Speaker of the House. And as soon 0:21:15.359 --> 0:21:18.720 as they do so, Kamala Harris is the acting president. 0:21:18.800 --> 0:21:21.960 Joe Biden is no longer the president. Now the next 0:21:22.040 --> 0:21:25.880 step would beat is Joe Biden fight him. Joe Biden 0:21:25.960 --> 0:21:29.680 could then submit a written statement saying I'm just fine, damnit. 0:21:30.640 --> 0:21:34.440 And if that happens, then it gets kicked to Congress 0:21:35.119 --> 0:21:38.480 and Congress has to decide. And it takes two thirds 0:21:38.520 --> 0:21:42.360 of both houses to conclude that the president is unable 0:21:43.080 --> 0:21:46.919 to perform his duties. And so that listen. That is 0:21:46.960 --> 0:21:50.600 by design a high threshold removing a president is not 0:21:50.760 --> 0:21:54.080 a big deal. Look, if it's triggered by the Vice 0:21:54.160 --> 0:21:57.640 president of majority of the cabinet coming to that conclusion, 0:21:58.600 --> 0:22:00.359
