1 00:00:01,520 --> 00:00:05,800 Speaker 1: Joe Biden has officially dropped out of the presidential race. Welcome, 2 00:00:05,880 --> 00:00:08,559 Speaker 1: it is Verdict with Center, Ted Cruz, Ben Ferguson with 3 00:00:08,640 --> 00:00:13,640 Speaker 1: you on this special podcast. Senator, you predicted this ten 4 00:00:14,000 --> 00:00:18,400 Speaker 1: months ago. It has now become a reality. Your initial reaction. 5 00:00:18,560 --> 00:00:21,280 Speaker 2: Well, today is an historic day. We are one hundred 6 00:00:21,280 --> 00:00:24,600 Speaker 2: and six days out from the presidential election and the 7 00:00:24,640 --> 00:00:28,760 Speaker 2: Democrat nominee for president, the sitting Democrat president, is out. 8 00:00:28,960 --> 00:00:30,680 Speaker 2: He will not be on the ballot, he will not 9 00:00:30,800 --> 00:00:33,920 Speaker 2: be the candidate. At this point, the Democrat Party is 10 00:00:34,000 --> 00:00:38,240 Speaker 2: in utter disarray. Chaos is erupting. We're going to break 11 00:00:38,280 --> 00:00:41,000 Speaker 2: down exactly what is likely to happen next. We're going 12 00:00:41,080 --> 00:00:44,040 Speaker 2: to walk all through the steps to expect in the 13 00:00:44,040 --> 00:00:46,360 Speaker 2: one hundred and sixty days between now an election day. 14 00:00:47,159 --> 00:00:48,680 Speaker 1: First, before we get into all that, I want to 15 00:00:48,680 --> 00:00:50,519 Speaker 1: tell you about my friends in blackout coffee. I can 16 00:00:50,560 --> 00:00:52,159 Speaker 1: promise you right now I don't need a cup of 17 00:00:52,159 --> 00:00:54,520 Speaker 1: coffee with this new news that Biden's out. But on 18 00:00:54,560 --> 00:00:56,360 Speaker 1: a normal day when I'm getting on the radio at 19 00:00:56,400 --> 00:00:59,680 Speaker 1: seven am, it is really important that I'm awake and 20 00:00:59,760 --> 00:01:02,240 Speaker 1: i I am ready to go. I don't want an 21 00:01:02,240 --> 00:01:05,440 Speaker 1: average cup of coffee. I want a phenomenal cup of coffee, 22 00:01:05,480 --> 00:01:08,480 Speaker 1: a premium cup of coffee, without the woke agenda of 23 00:01:08,560 --> 00:01:10,959 Speaker 1: so many of the coffee comanies out there. When I 24 00:01:11,040 --> 00:01:13,959 Speaker 1: said that, you probably thought about a couple of brands. Well. 25 00:01:14,120 --> 00:01:19,119 Speaker 1: Blackout Coffee is a hardcore conservative company committed to conservative 26 00:01:19,160 --> 00:01:21,760 Speaker 1: values from the sourcing of the beans, the roasting process, 27 00:01:21,880 --> 00:01:25,400 Speaker 1: customer support and shipping. They embody true American values and 28 00:01:25,400 --> 00:01:29,080 Speaker 1: they accept no compromise on quality or taste. Now, I've 29 00:01:29,160 --> 00:01:32,560 Speaker 1: gotten countless emails and messages on social media from people 30 00:01:32,640 --> 00:01:36,000 Speaker 1: that have switched and tried Blackout.

Democrats witnessed an incredible GOP convention. You and 40 00:02:07,440 --> 00:02:10,800 Speaker 1: I were there. It's the most I think unity I've 41 00:02:10,840 --> 00:02:13,799 Speaker 1: ever seen the Republican Party at a convention, doubtedly, and 42 00:02:14,160 --> 00:02:17,720 Speaker 1: they were, I think, really concerned after the convention of 43 00:02:17,760 --> 00:02:20,520 Speaker 1: a big bump. How do you reset a race you 44 00:02:20,560 --> 00:02:23,160 Speaker 1: get in your new candidate. And I think they clearly 45 00:02:23,240 --> 00:02:26,600 Speaker 1: saw that. We saw the big five Democratic families and 46 00:02:26,680 --> 00:02:29,880 Speaker 1: the media coalesced behind forcing him to get out. I 47 00:02:29,880 --> 00:02:32,079 Speaker 1: think some sort of deal had to happen to make 48 00:02:32,160 --> 00:02:33,960 Speaker 1: sure that Joe Biden and his family are going to 49 00:02:33,960 --> 00:02:37,320 Speaker 1: be taken care of. Kamala Harris was the obvious choice. 50 00:02:37,520 --> 00:02:40,360 Speaker 1: That's now who he's endorsed, and other Democrats seem to 51 00:02:40,360 --> 00:02:41,639 Speaker 1: be jumping on board. 52 00:02:42,240 --> 00:02:45,280 Speaker 2: Well, listen, I think this was inevitable, as I said, 53 00:02:45,680 --> 00:02:48,480 Speaker 2: as of the night of the debate, but I think 54 00:02:48,520 --> 00:02:52,560 Speaker 2: the momentum of it accelerated number one with the assassination 55 00:02:52,639 --> 00:02:57,000 Speaker 2: attempt on President Trump. Number two with the very successful 56 00:02:57,600 --> 00:03:01,679 Speaker 2: presidential convention we just had a Milwaukee I think Democrats 57 00:03:01,680 --> 00:03:05,160 Speaker 2: were in absolute panic. They were in panic earlier today, 58 00:03:05,240 --> 00:03:07,720 Speaker 2: poll numbers came out of Michigan that had Trump leading 59 00:03:07,760 --> 00:03:10,639 Speaker 2: Biden in Michigan by seven points. You want to talk 60 00:03:10,720 --> 00:03:14,040 Speaker 2: about something to put put Democrats in cold sweats. If 61 00:03:14,080 --> 00:03:17,200 Speaker 2: they're losing Michigan by seven points, go ahead and pull 62 00:03:17,240 --> 00:03:19,320 Speaker 2: the curtains down, roll up the rug. It's all over. 63 00:03:20,520 --> 00:03:24,200 Speaker 2: That's why they did this. That would have happened regardless, 64 00:03:24,240 --> 00:03:27,680 Speaker 2: even if the debate had been even if the convention 65 00:03:27,840 --> 00:03:31,600 Speaker 2: rather had been bumpy, even if Saturday in Butler, Pennsylvania 66 00:03:31,639 --> 00:03:34,040 Speaker 2: had not happened. I believe we'd still have Biden out 67 00:03:34,080 --> 00:03:38,520 Speaker 2: of the race. But the Democrats, we saw each of 68 00:03:38,600 --> 00:03:42,400 Speaker 2: the major constituencies of the Democrat Party line up against 69 00:03:42,480 --> 00:03:44,680 Speaker 2: Joe Biden in force amount. He did not want to go. 70 00:03:44,760 --> 00:03:48,080 Speaker 2: He did not go willingly, but one after the other, 71 00:03:48,880 --> 00:03:53,480 Speaker 2: starting with Democrats in Congress, Nancy Pelosi came out against him, 72 00:03:53,560 --> 00:03:56,360 Speaker 2: Chuck Schumer came out against him, Hakeem Jeffries came out 73 00:03:56,400 --> 00:03:58,440 Speaker 2: against him. And it was all self interest. All the 74 00:03:58,440 --> 00:04:01,480 Speaker 2: Democrats in Congress were looking at their poles saying, holy cow, 75 00:04:01,680 --> 00:04:04,040 Speaker 2: we're about to lose, and they all lined up against him. 76 00:04:04,080 --> 00:04:07,760 Speaker 2: But you also saw you saw Barack Obama quietly coming 77 00:04:07,840 --> 00:04:09,480 Speaker 2: out against him. He put out a quick tweet in 78 00:04:09,520 --> 00:04:12,320 Speaker 2: support of him, but he also signed off on George 79 00:04:12,360 --> 00:04:17,120 Speaker 2: Clooney representing Hollywood abandoning him, saying Joe, get out. We 80 00:04:17,160 --> 00:04:21,320 Speaker 2: saw the corporate media uniformly pushing him out, We saw 81 00:04:21,360 --> 00:04:24,839 Speaker 2: the donors pushing him out, and the pressure became too 82 00:04:24,920 --> 00:04:27,880 Speaker 2: much to bear. One senator after another senator after another 83 00:04:27,960 --> 00:04:32,080 Speaker 2: senator on the Democrat side, Biden didn't have a choice. 84 00:04:32,120 --> 00:04:34,159 Speaker 2: But I will say it was very savvy of them 85 00:04:34,200 --> 00:04:38,200 Speaker 2: to wait until after this convention. But let's let's just 86 00:04:38,240 --> 00:04:41,400 Speaker 2: first go with the news. So today, here's what Joe 87 00:04:41,440 --> 00:04:44,800 Speaker 2: Biden put out this afternoon. This is the letter he 88 00:04:44,800 --> 00:04:48,480 Speaker 2: put out. He tweeted it out. This This screenshot is 89 00:04:48,520 --> 00:04:52,560 Speaker 2: from twelve forty six pm. Interestingly enough, it had ninety 90 00:04:52,560 --> 00:04:55,880 Speaker 2: five point nine million views already. Yeah, I just checked 91 00:04:55,880 --> 00:04:57,840 Speaker 2: a minute ago, where about two hours later it was 92 00:04:57,880 --> 00:05:01,159 Speaker 2: up to one hundred and sixty one million views. This 93 00:05:01,360 --> 00:05:04,880 Speaker 2: is his resignation letter. And rather than you and me 94 00:05:05,000 --> 00:05:07,440 Speaker 2: read it, which which should be fine, but we'd have 95 00:05:07,520 --> 00:05:11,280 Speaker 2: to say words that are demonstrably untrue, things claiming that 96 00:05:11,279 --> 00:05:13,640 Speaker 2: Biden had actually done something well, that his record was 97 00:05:13,640 --> 00:05:16,599 Speaker 2: something other than the train record is, rather than you 98 00:05:16,720 --> 00:05:20,159 Speaker 2: or me read it, I think we're better off engaging 99 00:05:20,160 --> 00:05:25,200 Speaker 2: in a bit of schadenfreud and so watching Jensaki on MSNBC. 100 00:05:24,760 --> 00:05:28,560 Speaker 1: Rea Umber White House Press Secretary, Joe Biden's press secretary, 101 00:05:28,720 --> 00:05:30,280 Speaker 1: having to carry the water, and. 102 00:05:30,279 --> 00:05:32,080 Speaker 2: I gotta say, look, since I said that there are 103 00:05:32,080 --> 00:05:34,599 Speaker 2: a number of lies about his record, Jensaki is actually 104 00:05:34,640 --> 00:05:37,840 Speaker 2: quite accomplished at reading lies. But for those of you 105 00:05:37,960 --> 00:05:40,320 Speaker 2: watching this as a video pod, so this is one. 106 00:05:40,600 --> 00:05:43,000 Speaker 2: We do this podcast three days a week. All three 107 00:05:43,040 --> 00:05:45,120 Speaker 2: of them are on audio, typically one a week is 108 00:05:45,120 --> 00:05:48,080 Speaker 2: on video. This is one of the video and audiopods. 109 00:05:48,080 --> 00:05:50,760 Speaker 2: And I will say, if you're listening on audio, I'd 110 00:05:50,839 --> 00:05:52,479 Speaker 2: encourage you to go to YouTube and watch it on 111 00:05:52,600 --> 00:05:57,920 Speaker 2: video because to watch Jensaki's face, you cannot fully appreciate 112 00:05:58,640 --> 00:06:02,240 Speaker 2: the agony without watching it as she's reading these words, 113 00:06:02,720 --> 00:06:08,479 Speaker 2: and as we're watching the Democrat Party light itself on fire. Here, 114 00:06:08,520 --> 00:06:09,600 Speaker 2: give a listen, give a watch. 115 00:06:12,360 --> 00:06:15,479 Speaker 3: We have breaking news here. President Biden has announced he 116 00:06:15,520 --> 00:06:17,839 Speaker 3: will stand down from the race. We're going to read 117 00:06:17,880 --> 00:06:18,719 Speaker 3: the statement here. 118 00:06:19,240 --> 00:06:22,320 Speaker 2: Her expression, which is actually frozen on the screen right now, 119 00:06:23,040 --> 00:06:23,920 Speaker 2: she's about to cry. 120 00:06:24,040 --> 00:06:26,080 Speaker 1: Yeah. I mean she's like, what has just happened to 121 00:06:26,120 --> 00:06:26,480 Speaker 1: my world? 122 00:06:26,520 --> 00:06:31,280 Speaker 2: No? No, no, it is that's all right, go ahead and 123 00:06:31,360 --> 00:06:31,840 Speaker 2: keep playing. 124 00:06:32,040 --> 00:06:34,119 Speaker 3: We also have Tim Miller, who's going to be joining 125 00:06:34,200 --> 00:06:38,400 Speaker 3: us shortly. Over the past, my fellow Americans, over the 126 00:06:38,440 --> 00:06:40,520 Speaker 3: past three and a half years, we have made great 127 00:06:40,560 --> 00:06:45,160 Speaker 3: progress as a nation. Today, America has the strongest economy 128 00:06:45,200 --> 00:06:49,160 Speaker 3: in the world. We've made historic investments in rebuilding our nation, 129 00:06:50,120 --> 00:06:53,960 Speaker 3: in lowering prescription drug costs for seniors, and in expanding 130 00:06:53,960 --> 00:06:58,200 Speaker 3: affordable healthcare to a record number of Americans. We've provided 131 00:06:58,240 --> 00:07:01,880 Speaker 3: critically needed care to you have a million veterans exposed 132 00:07:02,080 --> 00:07:05,280 Speaker 3: to toxic substances. Past the first thank you so much. 133 00:07:05,320 --> 00:07:07,239 Speaker 3: I'm just going to read off the paper here, past 134 00:07:07,279 --> 00:07:10,600 Speaker 3: the first safety law in thirty years, appointed the first 135 00:07:10,640 --> 00:07:13,640 Speaker 3: African American woman to the Supreme Court, and passed the 136 00:07:13,640 --> 00:07:17,080 Speaker 3: most significant climate legislation in the history of the world. 137 00:07:18,280 --> 00:07:21,440 Speaker 1: I mean, really, that's I mean, she just goes straight 138 00:07:21,480 --> 00:07:24,000 Speaker 1: into it and is like totally lost, like what just 139 00:07:24,080 --> 00:07:24,920 Speaker 1: happened to us? 140 00:07:25,160 --> 00:07:30,400 Speaker 2: Well, Joe Biden has suspended as you and I predicted 141 00:07:30,400 --> 00:07:33,240 Speaker 2: ten months ago, as you and I predicted a month 142 00:07:33,280 --> 00:07:36,200 Speaker 2: ago on the debate, and he will not be on 143 00:07:36,240 --> 00:07:39,440 Speaker 2: the ballot. That has never happened before. You know, the 144 00:07:39,560 --> 00:07:43,920 Speaker 2: closest analog is the nineteen sixty eight Democrat convention, which 145 00:07:43,960 --> 00:07:47,040 Speaker 2: was in Chicago as well. That is the last time 146 00:07:47,360 --> 00:07:51,720 Speaker 2: you had an incumbent Democrat president and that case Lyndon B. Johnson. Yeah, 147 00:07:51,960 --> 00:07:54,520 Speaker 2: not run for reelection. Now, Lyndon B. Johnson, Why did 148 00:07:54,560 --> 00:07:56,360 Speaker 2: he not run for reelection? A big part of it 149 00:07:56,400 --> 00:07:59,000 Speaker 2: is he'd lost the support of the American people. He'd 150 00:07:59,040 --> 00:08:01,480 Speaker 2: lost the sport of a Republic of independence and Democrats 151 00:08:01,480 --> 00:08:03,560 Speaker 2: and when you lose all of them, there ain't nobody left. 152 00:08:03,600 --> 00:08:07,640 Speaker 2: It was the middle of the Vietnam War. Unlike Joe Biden, 153 00:08:07,720 --> 00:08:09,280 Speaker 2: it was not that he was too old. It was 154 00:08:09,400 --> 00:08:11,720 Speaker 2: just that he was physically worn down and tired, and 155 00:08:11,760 --> 00:08:14,480 Speaker 2: he'd lost the American people, and so LBJ didn't run, 156 00:08:15,160 --> 00:08:17,480 Speaker 2: and you had you want to talk about an incredibly 157 00:08:17,560 --> 00:08:20,760 Speaker 2: contentious election. In that election, there was a guy named 158 00:08:20,800 --> 00:08:23,720 Speaker 2: Robert F. Kennedy who was running. That tragically is the 159 00:08:23,720 --> 00:08:27,480 Speaker 2: election cycle where Bobby Kennedy was assassinated in the course 160 00:08:27,480 --> 00:08:30,000 Speaker 2: of the cycle. But he was for a period the 161 00:08:30,120 --> 00:08:36,160 Speaker 2: rising star. You ended up having lbj's vice president, Hubert Humphrey, 162 00:08:36,400 --> 00:08:40,840 Speaker 2: got the nomination, but it was an incredibly close and 163 00:08:40,920 --> 00:08:45,640 Speaker 2: contested race because you had a challenge from the left 164 00:08:46,440 --> 00:08:53,000 Speaker 2: and a challenge from the left over Vietnam a chaotic convention, 165 00:08:53,200 --> 00:08:59,560 Speaker 2: and outside you had rabid protesters engaged in violence and rioting. 166 00:08:59,840 --> 00:09:02,680 Speaker 2: Think we may literally be seeing history repeating itself. 167 00:09:03,200 --> 00:09:05,439 Speaker 1: Let's talk about and there's two aspects of what I'm 168 00:09:05,480 --> 00:09:09,319 Speaker 1: about to ask you. Number One, we see early on, 169 00:09:09,400 --> 00:09:12,800 Speaker 1: I think the front runner is Kamla Harris. We see 170 00:09:12,800 --> 00:09:16,640 Speaker 1: people coalescing behind her. But the real question is how 171 00:09:16,679 --> 00:09:20,120 Speaker 1: did she get that support so quickly from this president? 172 00:09:20,520 --> 00:09:23,120 Speaker 1: What is the deal that's being done behind the scenes? 173 00:09:23,520 --> 00:09:26,800 Speaker 1: Was this White House staffers making sure, Hey, I want 174 00:09:26,800 --> 00:09:28,680 Speaker 1: to stay in and keep my power, I have a 175 00:09:28,679 --> 00:09:30,600 Speaker 1: better chance of keeping it with Coma than going with 176 00:09:30,679 --> 00:09:33,800 Speaker 1: somebody else. All these people and jobs in around Biden 177 00:09:33,880 --> 00:09:36,960 Speaker 1: hare so like, hey, I can keep my power if 178 00:09:37,040 --> 00:09:40,480 Speaker 1: she's the person or was it hey He's saying, okay, 179 00:09:40,520 --> 00:09:43,200 Speaker 1: I trust you Coma to take care of me, protect 180 00:09:43,200 --> 00:09:45,880 Speaker 1: my son, possibly give out clem and see or pardons 181 00:09:45,880 --> 00:09:48,120 Speaker 1: that may be needed down the road. How did the 182 00:09:48,120 --> 00:09:49,600 Speaker 1: sausage get made on this deal? 183 00:09:49,720 --> 00:09:53,120 Speaker 2: All right, Well, let's go back to Biden's resignation letter. 184 00:09:53,160 --> 00:09:55,640 Speaker 2: Put that back up there. If you look at the 185 00:09:55,679 --> 00:10:00,240 Speaker 2: resignation letter that when he put it out earlier today, 186 00:10:00,360 --> 00:10:03,360 Speaker 2: he says, and I'm going to finish reading from where 187 00:10:03,400 --> 00:10:06,080 Speaker 2: we cut off on Jensaki. It's been the greatest honor 188 00:10:06,080 --> 00:10:07,800 Speaker 2: of my life to serve as your president. And while 189 00:10:07,800 --> 00:10:10,600 Speaker 2: it has been my intention to seek reelection, the damned 190 00:10:10,600 --> 00:10:13,760 Speaker 2: Democrats dromad of office. No, you didn't say that, he says. 191 00:10:14,240 --> 00:10:16,559 Speaker 2: I believe it isn't the best interest of my party, 192 00:10:16,960 --> 00:10:20,960 Speaker 2: notice his party first, yep, and the country for me 193 00:10:21,040 --> 00:10:24,080 Speaker 2: to stand down and focus solely on fulfilling my duties 194 00:10:24,120 --> 00:10:26,360 Speaker 2: as president for the remainder of my term. I will 195 00:10:26,400 --> 00:10:28,800 Speaker 2: speak to the nation later this week in more detail 196 00:10:29,160 --> 00:10:33,240 Speaker 2: about my decision. For now, let me express my deepest 197 00:10:33,320 --> 00:10:35,760 Speaker 2: gratitude to all those who work so hard to see 198 00:10:35,760 --> 00:10:40,120 Speaker 2: me reelect it. I want to thank Vice President Kamala 199 00:10:40,160 --> 00:10:43,760 Speaker 2: Harris for being an extraordinary partner in all this work. 200 00:10:44,160 --> 00:10:46,960 Speaker 2: And let me express my heartfelt appreciation to the American 201 00:10:47,000 --> 00:10:50,360 Speaker 2: people for the faith and trust you have placed in me. Now. 202 00:10:50,400 --> 00:10:54,160 Speaker 2: Interestingly enough, in this resignation letter, you notice what he 203 00:10:54,200 --> 00:10:54,560 Speaker 2: doesn't do. 204 00:10:55,160 --> 00:10:56,120 Speaker 1: I fully endorse. 205 00:10:56,280 --> 00:10:58,319 Speaker 2: He doesn't mention endorsement at all. He says. I want 206 00:10:58,320 --> 00:11:02,920 Speaker 2: to thank Kamala Harris, and he's silent. Now he puts 207 00:11:02,960 --> 00:11:05,160 Speaker 2: that out, and I'm assuming when he puts that out, 208 00:11:05,200 --> 00:11:07,319 Speaker 2: the powers that be in the White House and in 209 00:11:07,360 --> 00:11:11,400 Speaker 2: the Democratic Party freaked the hell out. Yeah, lost their minds, 210 00:11:11,600 --> 00:11:14,319 Speaker 2: lost their minds. And so shortly thereafter, look at the 211 00:11:14,360 --> 00:11:17,160 Speaker 2: tweet he put out as a follow up, like it 212 00:11:17,240 --> 00:11:19,680 Speaker 2: says something your resignation letter. It's kind of odd to 213 00:11:19,679 --> 00:11:20,760 Speaker 2: need a follow up. 214 00:11:21,080 --> 00:11:23,440 Speaker 1: And then a quick follow up at that very quick. 215 00:11:23,240 --> 00:11:26,079 Speaker 2: Follow up, but there was enough time. That other one 216 00:11:26,160 --> 00:11:28,520 Speaker 2: was twelve forty six. This is one thirteen, so you 217 00:11:28,520 --> 00:11:31,480 Speaker 2: know time passed. And then he sends out another tweet. 218 00:11:31,520 --> 00:11:34,559 Speaker 2: My fellow Democrats, I've decided not to accept the nomination 219 00:11:34,640 --> 00:11:36,720 Speaker 2: to focus all my energies on my duties as president 220 00:11:36,720 --> 00:11:38,760 Speaker 2: for the remainder of my term. Notice that was in 221 00:11:38,880 --> 00:11:39,280 Speaker 2: his letter. 222 00:11:39,520 --> 00:11:39,760 Speaker 1: Yep. 223 00:11:40,200 --> 00:11:42,520 Speaker 2: My very first decision as the party nominee in twenty 224 00:11:42,600 --> 00:11:44,760 Speaker 2: twenty was to pick Kamala Harris as my vice president. 225 00:11:45,160 --> 00:11:48,760 Speaker 2: And it's the best decision I've made today. I want 226 00:11:48,800 --> 00:11:51,280 Speaker 2: to offer my full support and endorsement for Kamala to 227 00:11:51,320 --> 00:11:53,600 Speaker 2: be the nominee of our party this year. Democrats, it's 228 00:11:53,640 --> 00:11:56,640 Speaker 2: time to come together and beat Trump. Let's do this. 229 00:11:58,000 --> 00:11:59,400 Speaker 1: So delayed reaction. 230 00:11:59,720 --> 00:12:03,760 Speaker 2: So at this point, Kamala is clearly the front runner. 231 00:12:04,480 --> 00:12:09,360 Speaker 2: Joe Biden is explicitly supporting her. In the time that followed, 232 00:12:09,640 --> 00:12:13,040 Speaker 2: Bill Clinton came out in support of her, Hillary Clinton 233 00:12:13,080 --> 00:12:16,040 Speaker 2: came out in support of her. Alex Soros has come 234 00:12:16,080 --> 00:12:16,959 Speaker 2: out in support of her. 235 00:12:17,040 --> 00:12:18,960 Speaker 1: Alex, by the way, maybe one of the most important 236 00:12:19,000 --> 00:12:22,239 Speaker 1: actual endorsements because it's follow the money well. 237 00:12:22,000 --> 00:12:27,160 Speaker 2: And look, George Soros has been the most important donor 238 00:12:27,280 --> 00:12:31,560 Speaker 2: behind not just the Democrat Party, but the radical leftist, 239 00:12:31,559 --> 00:12:36,199 Speaker 2: the cultural Marxist, the anti Semitic protesters on campus. Soros 240 00:12:36,200 --> 00:12:39,920 Speaker 2: has been funding all of that. According to multiple reports, 241 00:12:39,960 --> 00:12:44,760 Speaker 2: George Soros's mental condition and mental deterioration is at least 242 00:12:44,800 --> 00:12:48,880 Speaker 2: where Biden's is, if not substantially worse. And it's the 243 00:12:48,960 --> 00:12:52,040 Speaker 2: son Alex Soros is the one that's now making the decision. 244 00:12:52,320 --> 00:12:55,080 Speaker 2: So understand when Alex Soros tweets out that he's behind 245 00:12:55,160 --> 00:12:59,040 Speaker 2: Kamala Harris, what he's saying is the money is behind 246 00:12:59,120 --> 00:13:03,160 Speaker 2: Kamala Harris. You're going to see a lot of that now. 247 00:13:04,400 --> 00:13:07,200 Speaker 2: Interestingly enough, there's some other Democrats who are not quick 248 00:13:07,240 --> 00:13:09,880 Speaker 2: to get on board. So, for example, take a look 249 00:13:09,880 --> 00:13:12,560 Speaker 2: at what Gavin Newsom tweeted, President Biden has been an 250 00:13:12,600 --> 00:13:15,520 Speaker 2: extraordinary history making president, a leader who has fought hard 251 00:13:15,520 --> 00:13:19,000 Speaker 2: for working people and delivered astonishing results for all Americans. 252 00:13:19,200 --> 00:13:20,760 Speaker 2: He will go down in history as one of the 253 00:13:20,760 --> 00:13:24,040 Speaker 2: most impactful and selfless presidents. Thank you, Joe Biden. 254 00:13:24,640 --> 00:13:26,160 Speaker 1: Yeah, there's not much of an endorsement. 255 00:13:26,200 --> 00:13:29,840 Speaker 2: There is though, whose name's not there? Yeah, Kamala and 256 00:13:30,000 --> 00:13:35,439 Speaker 2: interesting enough. Now, look, Gavin is not lacking an ambition. 257 00:13:36,520 --> 00:13:39,400 Speaker 1: That's the very PC way of putting it. I like 258 00:13:39,480 --> 00:13:43,040 Speaker 1: that it He's like, let's go to the convention, let's 259 00:13:43,080 --> 00:13:43,760 Speaker 1: have this thing out. 260 00:13:44,080 --> 00:13:46,360 Speaker 2: It'll be interesting. And by the way, earlier today there 261 00:13:46,400 --> 00:13:49,920 Speaker 2: were was all sorts of chatter that Hillary Clinton was 262 00:13:49,960 --> 00:13:53,840 Speaker 2: going to make a play for this. It is interesting 263 00:13:53,920 --> 00:13:55,880 Speaker 2: that she and Bill came out very quickly and said 264 00:13:55,920 --> 00:14:01,520 Speaker 2: let's get behind Kamala. I'm going to see lots of chatter. 265 00:14:01,600 --> 00:14:07,240 Speaker 2: There are Democrats talking about wanting to have a open convention, 266 00:14:07,559 --> 00:14:10,880 Speaker 2: a sort of mini primary battle, have the delegates decide 267 00:14:11,280 --> 00:14:15,800 Speaker 2: under DNC rules. Initially, the delegates will vote. It's being 268 00:14:15,840 --> 00:14:18,960 Speaker 2: speculated that Biden will release his delegates and say vote 269 00:14:18,960 --> 00:14:21,240 Speaker 2: for whom you want, and there may be a process. 270 00:14:21,280 --> 00:14:26,240 Speaker 2: They may do a process where Kamala RAN's and a 271 00:14:26,240 --> 00:14:28,800 Speaker 2: handful of other people ron and they have a first ballot. 272 00:14:29,160 --> 00:14:32,400 Speaker 2: Under the DNC rules, the so called super delegates. Those 273 00:14:32,400 --> 00:14:36,240 Speaker 2: include things like governors, things like senators. They don't vote 274 00:14:36,280 --> 00:14:38,520 Speaker 2: until the second ballot, So the first ballot is the 275 00:14:38,560 --> 00:14:41,320 Speaker 2: actual elected delegates. And if they were elected to support 276 00:14:41,400 --> 00:14:44,480 Speaker 2: Joe Biden, if they've been released here whatever they want, 277 00:14:44,560 --> 00:14:49,120 Speaker 2: they can do whatever they want. I think at the 278 00:14:49,240 --> 00:14:50,880 Speaker 2: end of the day, there's gonna be a little bit 279 00:14:50,880 --> 00:14:53,040 Speaker 2: of noise, there's gonna be a little bit of squawking. 280 00:14:53,440 --> 00:14:56,000 Speaker 2: But I stand by my prediction from day one that 281 00:14:56,080 --> 00:14:59,280 Speaker 2: there is one person, in one person only for whom 282 00:14:59,360 --> 00:15:02,040 Speaker 2: the Democrats will be willing to push Kamala Harris aside, 283 00:15:02,040 --> 00:15:05,200 Speaker 2: and that is Michelle Obama. It doesn't appear right now 284 00:15:05,280 --> 00:15:07,720 Speaker 2: that Michelle is willing to get in now, that could 285 00:15:07,760 --> 00:15:12,640 Speaker 2: be on August surprise. We've got nearly a month until 286 00:15:12,640 --> 00:15:13,640 Speaker 2: the Democrat Convention. 287 00:15:13,800 --> 00:15:16,400 Speaker 1: Can we just talk horse trading so people understand what 288 00:15:16,440 --> 00:15:18,800 Speaker 1: this is gonna look like for the next thirty days. 289 00:15:18,800 --> 00:15:22,160 Speaker 1: Behind the scenes, delegates now have the power to pick 290 00:15:22,200 --> 00:15:24,120 Speaker 1: who the president could be. Yep. 291 00:15:24,880 --> 00:15:28,280 Speaker 2: And by the way, Why is that because the Democrat Party. Look, 292 00:15:28,360 --> 00:15:31,360 Speaker 2: they knew that Joe Biden was mentally incompetent. They knew 293 00:15:31,360 --> 00:15:33,480 Speaker 2: a year ago. They ran him anyway. They had the voters, 294 00:15:33,520 --> 00:15:35,800 Speaker 2: all the Democrat voters come vote for him, even though 295 00:15:35,800 --> 00:15:37,720 Speaker 2: they knew he was mentally incompetent, that he couldn't do 296 00:15:37,720 --> 00:15:39,800 Speaker 2: the job now. He couldn't do the job then, but 297 00:15:39,880 --> 00:15:42,400 Speaker 2: they wanted power. The only thing that changed is with 298 00:15:42,480 --> 00:15:47,760 Speaker 2: the debate, it became untenable. The American people realized this 299 00:15:47,800 --> 00:15:50,280 Speaker 2: guy is not capable of doing the job anymore. It 300 00:15:50,280 --> 00:15:52,760 Speaker 2: was only because they feared they were going to lose 301 00:15:53,040 --> 00:15:55,600 Speaker 2: that the Democrats have abandoned him. But the consequence of 302 00:15:55,640 --> 00:15:59,360 Speaker 2: that is the Democrats were perfectly fine with Democrat primary 303 00:15:59,440 --> 00:16:02,760 Speaker 2: voters being completely disenfranchised. You will not get to select 304 00:16:03,000 --> 00:16:04,320 Speaker 2: the Democrat nominee ya. 305 00:16:04,480 --> 00:16:07,320 Speaker 1: This person will be elected by no one in the public. 306 00:16:07,360 --> 00:16:09,720 Speaker 1: It will all be done with horse trading that can 307 00:16:09,760 --> 00:16:10,400 Speaker 1: happen on. 308 00:16:10,480 --> 00:16:13,440 Speaker 2: A handful of elite's, a handful of special interest, which 309 00:16:13,480 --> 00:16:16,880 Speaker 2: actually is pretty typical of who the Democrat Party is 310 00:16:17,040 --> 00:16:20,400 Speaker 2: actually true, the irony is that they engage in Freudian 311 00:16:20,440 --> 00:16:24,240 Speaker 2: projection at an historic level where everything they accuse their 312 00:16:24,240 --> 00:16:28,600 Speaker 2: opponents of is what they're doing. But Democrat primary voters 313 00:16:28,640 --> 00:16:31,160 Speaker 2: will have no say in who the nominee is. It 314 00:16:31,200 --> 00:16:33,520 Speaker 2: will be powerbrokers in Chicago. 315 00:16:33,760 --> 00:16:37,000 Speaker 1: So let's just paint behind the scenes so people understand 316 00:16:37,080 --> 00:16:39,680 Speaker 1: the corruption that can come out of this. If you 317 00:16:40,040 --> 00:16:44,200 Speaker 1: need delegates to get the nomination and you coalesce in 318 00:16:44,320 --> 00:16:47,400 Speaker 1: smaller groups and then you go forward and say hey, 319 00:16:47,880 --> 00:16:50,920 Speaker 1: I'm so and so I'm representing thirty five people in 320 00:16:50,960 --> 00:16:54,560 Speaker 1: this state California. You can't win without us. I would 321 00:16:54,600 --> 00:16:57,520 Speaker 1: like this, and this person would like this, and this 322 00:16:57,560 --> 00:16:59,880 Speaker 1: person will like this, and this person would like this, 323 00:17:00,000 --> 00:17:02,040 Speaker 1: and their kids would like these jobs in the White House. 324 00:17:02,440 --> 00:17:04,800 Speaker 1: If you give us this, you get all of our votes. 325 00:17:05,200 --> 00:17:08,280 Speaker 1: That is exactly what we've seen happen at state level. 326 00:17:08,480 --> 00:17:11,160 Speaker 1: We've seen corruption happen in a way when they're replacing 327 00:17:11,119 --> 00:17:11,440 Speaker 1: a seat. 328 00:17:11,480 --> 00:17:15,160 Speaker 2: Hey, Rodygoievitch went to jail for basically selling a Senate seat. 329 00:17:15,200 --> 00:17:18,280 Speaker 2: This is going to happen now one hundred thousand times over. 330 00:17:18,320 --> 00:17:20,639 Speaker 2: And by the way, put on top of that, the 331 00:17:20,680 --> 00:17:23,639 Speaker 2: big labor unions and the big money players, and the 332 00:17:23,640 --> 00:17:28,040 Speaker 2: Democrats party so corrupt, and the Sierra Club and the 333 00:17:28,040 --> 00:17:31,280 Speaker 2: pro abortion groups and all of the difference. The Democrat 334 00:17:31,359 --> 00:17:34,639 Speaker 2: Party today is a coalition of rent seekers, of people 335 00:17:35,520 --> 00:17:40,040 Speaker 2: who make their money suckling off the teet of government. 336 00:17:40,119 --> 00:17:43,080 Speaker 2: That's who they are, and it is all about power 337 00:17:43,119 --> 00:17:45,440 Speaker 2: and influence. Many of them. The reason they were willing 338 00:17:45,440 --> 00:17:48,520 Speaker 2: to back someone who was obviously not mentally competent to 339 00:17:48,560 --> 00:17:51,080 Speaker 2: be president is because they all stayed in power. Now 340 00:17:51,080 --> 00:17:54,240 Speaker 2: suddenly Joe Biden is going to be gone, and so 341 00:17:54,280 --> 00:17:57,399 Speaker 2: they're all desperately scrambling how do I keep my power? 342 00:17:57,760 --> 00:18:00,639 Speaker 2: And we're going to see that play out. What I 343 00:18:00,800 --> 00:18:02,920 Speaker 2: think will happen at the end of the day, I think, 344 00:18:03,400 --> 00:18:06,280 Speaker 2: number one, the Democrats are too much of racial and 345 00:18:06,359 --> 00:18:09,800 Speaker 2: gender being counters to push an African American woman aside 346 00:18:09,840 --> 00:18:12,000 Speaker 2: for a white guy. So anyone looking at Gavin Newsom 347 00:18:12,040 --> 00:18:13,640 Speaker 2: or anyone else, I just don't think that's gonna happen. 348 00:18:13,680 --> 00:18:14,320 Speaker 1: Yeah, I agree. 349 00:18:14,400 --> 00:18:17,280 Speaker 2: That's why I think Michelle Obama is the only person 350 00:18:17,600 --> 00:18:20,320 Speaker 2: who could push her aside, And at least right now, 351 00:18:20,359 --> 00:18:23,119 Speaker 2: it does not see Michelle is trying to do that. 352 00:18:23,160 --> 00:18:26,679 Speaker 2: If it's not Michelle, I think we will see Kamala Harrison. 353 00:18:26,720 --> 00:18:28,320 Speaker 2: I think the real battle is going to be who 354 00:18:28,320 --> 00:18:29,000 Speaker 2: the VP is. 355 00:18:29,320 --> 00:18:31,320 Speaker 1: I want to ask you about the VP. But before 356 00:18:31,359 --> 00:18:33,600 Speaker 1: we get to that, is it fair to say that 357 00:18:33,680 --> 00:18:38,440 Speaker 1: this might be the most corrupt picking of a presidential 358 00:18:38,520 --> 00:18:42,199 Speaker 1: candidate in modern political history because of the time that 359 00:18:42,240 --> 00:18:46,040 Speaker 1: people have to build their power and to basically an essence, 360 00:18:46,080 --> 00:18:46,920 Speaker 1: sell their vote. 361 00:18:47,200 --> 00:18:49,800 Speaker 2: And it's perhaps now not to be fair. It hasn't 362 00:18:49,800 --> 00:18:52,639 Speaker 2: happened yet, But it's all going to be behind closed doors. 363 00:18:52,880 --> 00:18:54,520 Speaker 2: It's not going to be the voters. It's not going 364 00:18:54,600 --> 00:18:57,399 Speaker 2: to be in public. It's one thing if you campaign, 365 00:18:58,000 --> 00:19:00,199 Speaker 2: Look at some level, you could say all campaigns are 366 00:19:00,240 --> 00:19:02,439 Speaker 2: in a way about buying votes. If you campaign and 367 00:19:02,480 --> 00:19:05,760 Speaker 2: say I'm for Medicare for all, for socialized medicure, you're 368 00:19:05,800 --> 00:19:07,920 Speaker 2: you're saying the Democrats are big on being the Santa 369 00:19:07,920 --> 00:19:09,840 Speaker 2: Claus Party. We'll give you free stuff if you vote 370 00:19:09,840 --> 00:19:14,200 Speaker 2: for us. That's one thing. Different level, it's a totally 371 00:19:14,240 --> 00:19:17,280 Speaker 2: different if you make a public promise in the press 372 00:19:17,640 --> 00:19:21,240 Speaker 2: that I will support a law that that has broad effect. 373 00:19:21,520 --> 00:19:23,479 Speaker 2: You know, Joe Biden, I'm gonna give away a trillion 374 00:19:23,520 --> 00:19:25,480 Speaker 2: dollars to people who have student loans. 375 00:19:25,560 --> 00:19:27,360 Speaker 1: Yeah, vote for me. I'm buying your vote. 376 00:19:27,560 --> 00:19:31,199 Speaker 2: That is very different from you know, Ben, you control 377 00:19:31,240 --> 00:19:34,040 Speaker 2: a pocket of votes. You ever thought of being Secretary 378 00:19:34,040 --> 00:19:34,480 Speaker 2: of the Navy? 379 00:19:34,680 --> 00:19:35,120 Speaker 1: Yeah? 380 00:19:35,160 --> 00:19:35,800 Speaker 2: You like votes? 381 00:19:35,880 --> 00:19:38,400 Speaker 1: Yeah? Or I hear there's a great house in this country. 382 00:19:38,440 --> 00:19:40,280 Speaker 1: And the ambassadorship there's really fun. 383 00:19:40,520 --> 00:19:44,879 Speaker 2: I mean, it's we're going to see that happening every 384 00:19:45,000 --> 00:19:48,359 Speaker 2: day now, mind you. You're going to get competing people 385 00:19:48,400 --> 00:19:52,800 Speaker 2: making those promises. And in terms of the vice president, 386 00:19:53,800 --> 00:19:56,040 Speaker 2: that's going to be part of the negotiation is who 387 00:19:56,119 --> 00:20:01,040 Speaker 2: Kamala team's up with to try to lock down lock 388 00:20:01,200 --> 00:20:04,560 Speaker 2: down the power brokers in the Democrat Party. And one 389 00:20:04,640 --> 00:20:07,879 Speaker 2: question is does she try to quickly buy off whoever 390 00:20:07,920 --> 00:20:12,080 Speaker 2: she thinks her most formidable adversary is Possibly? Does she 391 00:20:12,160 --> 00:20:16,240 Speaker 2: try to get all of the potential adversaries to compete 392 00:20:16,440 --> 00:20:21,159 Speaker 2: wooing for her affection more likely, But it's going to 393 00:20:21,240 --> 00:20:23,680 Speaker 2: take an entire month playing out for us to see well. 394 00:20:23,680 --> 00:20:27,120 Speaker 1: And can you promise someone the vice presidency so they 395 00:20:27,200 --> 00:20:29,840 Speaker 1: don't challenge you? That's the question I want to ask 396 00:20:29,880 --> 00:20:31,680 Speaker 1: you next. But first I want to tell you about 397 00:20:31,680 --> 00:20:33,760 Speaker 1: my friends over at chalk. If Joe Biden would have 398 00:20:33,760 --> 00:20:36,680 Speaker 1: just taken some chalk, he might still be in this race. 399 00:20:36,760 --> 00:20:40,320 Speaker 1: You never know.

Holy crap. 422 00:21:58,560 --> 00:22:02,800 Speaker 1: Somebody who was never on a ballot yep, that no 423 00:22:02,840 --> 00:22:05,399 Speaker 1: one's ever voted for for vice president is all of 424 00:22:05,440 --> 00:22:07,400 Speaker 1: a sudden going to become the vice president the United 425 00:22:07,400 --> 00:22:10,879 Speaker 1: States of America, possibly certainly will be the nominee for 426 00:22:10,920 --> 00:22:14,280 Speaker 1: the Democratic Party. How do they pick? I don't think 427 00:22:14,320 --> 00:22:18,000 Speaker 1: a lot of people understand this. It's confusing enough picking 428 00:22:18,040 --> 00:22:20,359 Speaker 1: the now Kamala Harris or whoever it's going to be. 429 00:22:20,400 --> 00:22:22,840 Speaker 1: But let's say it is Kamla. It's a little bit 430 00:22:22,840 --> 00:22:25,280 Speaker 1: more orderly. How the hell are we going to get 431 00:22:25,320 --> 00:22:27,560 Speaker 1: the vice president? You'll pick for the Democratic Party? How 432 00:22:27,600 --> 00:22:28,200 Speaker 1: does that work? 433 00:22:28,800 --> 00:22:32,080 Speaker 2: Look, they're going to decide who brings the most to 434 00:22:32,119 --> 00:22:35,760 Speaker 2: the ticket. Often you look at geographic concerns. Will someone 435 00:22:35,760 --> 00:22:39,000 Speaker 2: put a state into play? Will someone be beneficial? Sometimes 436 00:22:39,000 --> 00:22:41,440 Speaker 2: you look to things like, as someone a great fundraiser, 437 00:22:41,440 --> 00:22:43,040 Speaker 2: will they bring a bunch of donors? Will they bring 438 00:22:43,080 --> 00:22:46,440 Speaker 2: other interest groups on board? Sometimes you look to neutralize 439 00:22:46,440 --> 00:22:49,920 Speaker 2: someone who's a potential opponent. In this instance, I think 440 00:22:49,960 --> 00:22:53,760 Speaker 2: the Democrats are one hundred percent about race and gender. 441 00:22:53,800 --> 00:22:56,040 Speaker 2: It's how they think. It's how they're wired. They don't 442 00:22:56,040 --> 00:22:59,600 Speaker 2: look at individuals. It's DEI, so it is di I. 443 00:22:59,600 --> 00:23:02,240 Speaker 2: I think the VP nominee will be a boring white guy. 444 00:23:02,680 --> 00:23:05,440 Speaker 2: That's my prediction. And they're there. They actually have a 445 00:23:05,520 --> 00:23:07,280 Speaker 2: number of boring white guys. So so so they have 446 00:23:07,320 --> 00:23:09,200 Speaker 2: a broad. 447 00:23:09,280 --> 00:23:11,600 Speaker 1: So who picks it? Is it the person who gets 448 00:23:11,600 --> 00:23:15,520 Speaker 1: the nomination, So there's no voting by the delegates. To me, 449 00:23:15,600 --> 00:23:16,880 Speaker 1: you don't understand the process. 450 00:23:17,520 --> 00:23:22,280 Speaker 2: It will be. My guess is Kamala will announce who 451 00:23:22,280 --> 00:23:24,440 Speaker 2: her VP is going to be before they vote. It 452 00:23:24,480 --> 00:23:30,120 Speaker 2: could conceivably be afterwards. It depends. If there's a real contested. 453 00:23:29,560 --> 00:23:32,040 Speaker 1: Battle at the convention, Uh. 454 00:23:31,800 --> 00:23:34,800 Speaker 2: Then then maybe she doesn't announce it until after she's 455 00:23:34,840 --> 00:23:38,640 Speaker 2: the nominee. Typically, the way it happens is the nominee 456 00:23:38,680 --> 00:23:40,800 Speaker 2: is sewn up before the convention. It's been a long 457 00:23:40,880 --> 00:23:43,960 Speaker 2: time since we've had a contested convention, and we've there's 458 00:23:44,000 --> 00:23:47,119 Speaker 2: been uncertainty as to who the nominee is going to be. 459 00:23:48,280 --> 00:23:50,960 Speaker 1: If the if the if the vote is really contentious 460 00:23:51,000 --> 00:23:53,280 Speaker 1: and it's a drag out, knockdown at the convention. You're 461 00:23:53,320 --> 00:23:56,560 Speaker 1: saying there's a legit possibility that whoever comes away with 462 00:23:56,640 --> 00:23:59,919 Speaker 1: it will will barely survive that they get the nomination. 463 00:24:00,040 --> 00:24:01,320 Speaker 1: They say, Hey, in a week or two, I'll tell 464 00:24:01,320 --> 00:24:02,359 Speaker 1: you who my VP is going to be. 465 00:24:02,400 --> 00:24:04,000 Speaker 2: No, no, no, I think it would be at the convention. 466 00:24:04,240 --> 00:24:06,720 Speaker 2: I think it would be immediately thereafter. And if there 467 00:24:06,760 --> 00:24:09,359 Speaker 2: is a real fight, I mean, one thing that has happened, 468 00:24:09,480 --> 00:24:11,920 Speaker 2: you know, you could go to whoever's number two and say, look, 469 00:24:12,080 --> 00:24:13,760 Speaker 2: I'll make you a VP if you drop out and 470 00:24:13,800 --> 00:24:15,520 Speaker 2: endorse me, and that could be how you lock up 471 00:24:15,560 --> 00:24:17,879 Speaker 2: the votes. I don't think it'll come to that. I 472 00:24:17,880 --> 00:24:21,440 Speaker 2: actually think people will coalesce around Kammalin more quickly than that. 473 00:24:21,720 --> 00:24:23,600 Speaker 1: Who's the front runner then right now in your mind? 474 00:24:23,600 --> 00:24:25,720 Speaker 1: I mean, obviously this could change in a couple weeks. 475 00:24:25,760 --> 00:24:28,040 Speaker 2: But if I'm gonna give you, I'm gonna give you 476 00:24:28,040 --> 00:24:31,560 Speaker 2: two names, and why Josh Shapiro. 477 00:24:31,240 --> 00:24:33,880 Speaker 1: Okay, and tell people that don't know Josh who he is. 478 00:24:33,920 --> 00:24:37,440 Speaker 2: He is the governor of Pennsylvania. He is widely perceived 479 00:24:37,480 --> 00:24:41,240 Speaker 2: as a moderate. He is Jewish. He was attorney general 480 00:24:42,480 --> 00:24:47,520 Speaker 2: in Pennsylvania. I think what is compelling is number one. 481 00:24:48,720 --> 00:24:52,800 Speaker 2: Shapiro has strong polling numbers in Pennsylvania. If the Democrats 482 00:24:52,880 --> 00:24:57,000 Speaker 2: can win Pennsylvania, the path to Trump winning becomes much 483 00:24:57,080 --> 00:25:01,240 Speaker 2: much harder. He's also perceived as a moderate, and I 484 00:25:01,240 --> 00:25:05,639 Speaker 2: think actually naming a Jewish Democrat would help tamp down 485 00:25:06,280 --> 00:25:07,120 Speaker 2: some of. 486 00:25:06,920 --> 00:25:09,400 Speaker 1: The anti Semitic that they've been dealing with the last 487 00:25:09,400 --> 00:25:09,880 Speaker 1: several months. 488 00:25:09,960 --> 00:25:13,120 Speaker 2: Yes, and so I think all of that, if you're 489 00:25:13,160 --> 00:25:16,840 Speaker 2: sitting there around Kamala, that's attractive. A second choice that 490 00:25:16,880 --> 00:25:18,960 Speaker 2: I think is also very attractive as a VP is 491 00:25:19,000 --> 00:25:23,800 Speaker 2: Mark Kelly. Mark Kelly is Senator from Arizona. Yeah, Mark 492 00:25:23,880 --> 00:25:27,480 Speaker 2: Kelly is a Navy veteran. Mark Kelly is a former astronaut. 493 00:25:27,560 --> 00:25:28,399 Speaker 2: He's been to space. 494 00:25:29,040 --> 00:25:30,960 Speaker 1: He's also got a fame factor to him. Yeah. 495 00:25:31,000 --> 00:25:35,240 Speaker 2: And Mark Kelly is also affable, and he seems reasonable. 496 00:25:35,640 --> 00:25:39,040 Speaker 2: He doesn't seem crazy when you talk with him. I 497 00:25:39,680 --> 00:25:42,960 Speaker 2: like Mark Kelly personally. He's someone he's like a Joe Manchin. 498 00:25:43,000 --> 00:25:46,359 Speaker 2: It won't be Joe Manchen, but he's someone who his affect, 499 00:25:46,400 --> 00:25:49,320 Speaker 2: his demeanor is very affable and if you met him 500 00:25:49,320 --> 00:25:52,119 Speaker 2: on the street, you wouldn't think the guy was a Democrat. 501 00:25:52,160 --> 00:25:54,320 Speaker 2: You wouldn't think that he voted with a looney left 502 00:25:54,320 --> 00:25:57,400 Speaker 2: on almost everything, because he seems like a normal guy. 503 00:25:58,800 --> 00:26:01,679 Speaker 2: I think that would be very attractive. And Arizona, it 504 00:26:01,760 --> 00:26:05,600 Speaker 2: is not as vital as swing state as Pennsylvania doesn't 505 00:26:05,600 --> 00:26:08,719 Speaker 2: have nearly as many electoral votes, but Arizona is certainly 506 00:26:09,000 --> 00:26:12,520 Speaker 2: a battleground state, and Mark Kelly on the ballot could help. 507 00:26:12,920 --> 00:26:15,080 Speaker 2: I would put those two as the top two. 508 00:26:15,480 --> 00:26:17,320 Speaker 1: I got to ask, and where's Gavin Newsom? Is he 509 00:26:17,480 --> 00:26:21,240 Speaker 1: number three? If you're going for a white guy. The 510 00:26:21,359 --> 00:26:23,760 Speaker 1: argument they would say is someone says he brings California, 511 00:26:23,800 --> 00:26:26,439 Speaker 1: but the reality is California. I got California anyway, exactly. 512 00:26:26,520 --> 00:26:29,080 Speaker 2: So if they go Gavin Newsom, it's a combination of 513 00:26:29,080 --> 00:26:32,560 Speaker 2: two things. Want one money, okay, And Newsom's got a 514 00:26:32,560 --> 00:26:34,879 Speaker 2: bunch of donors who love him, who will write checks. 515 00:26:34,880 --> 00:26:38,600 Speaker 2: And California is the ATM of the Democrat Party. And 516 00:26:38,720 --> 00:26:43,240 Speaker 2: so now Kamala is a Californian, so she's got a 517 00:26:43,240 --> 00:26:44,760 Speaker 2: lot of that money behind her also. 518 00:26:44,880 --> 00:26:47,760 Speaker 1: But it neutralizes him too, right, wouldn't that be the perk? 519 00:26:47,800 --> 00:26:49,520 Speaker 1: Because then you'd have to worry about him in four. 520 00:26:49,440 --> 00:26:53,120 Speaker 2: Years potentially, although she doesn't worry about him in four years. 521 00:26:53,119 --> 00:26:55,720 Speaker 2: If she's the incumbent president, he's not going to primary her. 522 00:26:57,080 --> 00:26:59,679 Speaker 2: If she gets this and gets elected, Newsom doesn't get 523 00:26:59,680 --> 00:27:00,000 Speaker 2: to run. 524 00:26:59,920 --> 00:27:00,520 Speaker 1: For eight years. 525 00:27:00,560 --> 00:27:02,760 Speaker 2: That that's just it, just that's how it's going to 526 00:27:02,960 --> 00:27:06,960 Speaker 2: knocks that down down the road. Look, Newsome, I think 527 00:27:07,080 --> 00:27:11,000 Speaker 2: is perceived as too liberal. My guess is they're not 528 00:27:11,040 --> 00:27:13,000 Speaker 2: going to be that worried about money. And the other 529 00:27:13,040 --> 00:27:15,040 Speaker 2: reason you would go with Newsom is he's talented. I 530 00:27:15,080 --> 00:27:18,959 Speaker 2: mean he is. He is a snake oil salesman par excellence. 531 00:27:19,000 --> 00:27:21,639 Speaker 2: He's a communicator, he's slick. He can be a. 532 00:27:21,680 --> 00:27:23,560 Speaker 1: Great campaigner because peop would show up to see him. 533 00:27:23,560 --> 00:27:26,040 Speaker 1: In the Democratic Party, that's important too, right, I mean, 534 00:27:26,280 --> 00:27:29,160 Speaker 1: you you have an event and your VP is popular, 535 00:27:30,200 --> 00:27:31,760 Speaker 1: that's good for your campaign. 536 00:27:32,480 --> 00:27:36,040 Speaker 2: Look, and in many ways he would overshadow Kaml. It 537 00:27:36,080 --> 00:27:39,600 Speaker 2: reminds me back in the nineteen eighty eight election. I 538 00:27:39,600 --> 00:27:43,120 Speaker 2: remember Saturday Night Live was making fun as we're getting 539 00:27:43,160 --> 00:27:46,000 Speaker 2: really close to the election, and you had George Bush 540 00:27:46,000 --> 00:27:49,000 Speaker 2: and dan Quayle and look, people had ridiculed dan Quail enormously. 541 00:27:49,480 --> 00:27:52,680 Speaker 2: And so what what SNL did is the ballots is 542 00:27:52,720 --> 00:27:55,639 Speaker 2: the party of parties have requested they be printed and 543 00:27:55,720 --> 00:27:58,480 Speaker 2: the Republican side had Bush and giant letters and quail 544 00:27:58,520 --> 00:28:01,399 Speaker 2: and tiny letters. And then on the Democrat side you 545 00:28:01,400 --> 00:28:03,600 Speaker 2: had Michael Dacaccas, who rode in a tank with a 546 00:28:03,600 --> 00:28:06,600 Speaker 2: helmet and looked ridiculous. And then Lloyd Benson, it was 547 00:28:06,600 --> 00:28:10,160 Speaker 2: the Texas senator who was moderate well received, was going 548 00:28:10,240 --> 00:28:13,640 Speaker 2: over well. SNL did the Battle of Docacas, tiny little 549 00:28:13,680 --> 00:28:19,320 Speaker 2: letter and Benson. Yeah, that could happen. Kamala could be 550 00:28:19,440 --> 00:28:23,280 Speaker 2: worried about is the risk that Gavin would would overshadow her. 551 00:28:23,280 --> 00:28:26,600 Speaker 2: And that's why I think Shapiro or Kelly are more likely. 552 00:28:26,640 --> 00:28:30,440 Speaker 2: I'd be surprised. I don't think she thinks she needs 553 00:28:30,480 --> 00:28:34,160 Speaker 2: the money, and I think the downside she would perceive 554 00:28:34,240 --> 00:28:34,560 Speaker 2: is greater. 555 00:28:34,640 --> 00:28:37,800 Speaker 1: All right, let's talk about the media, because what we're 556 00:28:37,840 --> 00:28:40,280 Speaker 1: going to see right now, and this is my biggest concern. 557 00:28:40,840 --> 00:28:43,680 Speaker 1: You and I talked about this in Milwaukee. If Biden 558 00:28:43,760 --> 00:28:46,760 Speaker 1: dropped out. Now it's Biden has dropped out. It's a 559 00:28:46,800 --> 00:28:51,840 Speaker 1: complete reset, yes, of this presidential campaign, the polls, and 560 00:28:51,880 --> 00:28:53,640 Speaker 1: I want to be very clear to our audience. This 561 00:28:53,680 --> 00:28:55,120 Speaker 1: is my opinion. I don't know if you agree with 562 00:28:55,120 --> 00:28:56,560 Speaker 1: me or not. I want to know your take on 563 00:28:56,640 --> 00:28:59,520 Speaker 1: it are completely meaningless and worthless right now. 564 00:28:59,560 --> 00:28:59,880 Speaker 2: Correct. 565 00:29:00,080 --> 00:29:02,040 Speaker 1: The only poll that's going to matter is the first 566 00:29:02,080 --> 00:29:06,320 Speaker 1: poll after we find out who the Democrats actually pounds. 567 00:29:06,720 --> 00:29:09,240 Speaker 2: Even that poll's not going to matter. And and listen, 568 00:29:09,840 --> 00:29:11,719 Speaker 2: this is something you and I talked about in our 569 00:29:12,120 --> 00:29:14,960 Speaker 2: last podcast. We did two podcasts live from the convention. 570 00:29:16,720 --> 00:29:18,640 Speaker 2: I love the convention. It was a blast. It's the 571 00:29:18,640 --> 00:29:23,120 Speaker 2: best Republican convention. I've ever seen, more unity than I've 572 00:29:23,120 --> 00:29:25,840 Speaker 2: ever seen. However, I was very worried at the convention, 573 00:29:25,920 --> 00:29:29,480 Speaker 2: and I expressed this to you at the time, which 574 00:29:29,520 --> 00:29:32,120 Speaker 2: is I am afraid people were over confident at the 575 00:29:32,120 --> 00:29:36,600 Speaker 2: convention that there was an air of celebration. It was 576 00:29:36,640 --> 00:29:39,800 Speaker 2: We've won, We're on to victory. This is a landslide. 577 00:29:39,840 --> 00:29:42,680 Speaker 2: Trump's coming back in. We've got a huge Republican majority. 578 00:29:42,680 --> 00:29:45,360 Speaker 2: He heard people talking about it. Fifty five to fifty 579 00:29:45,400 --> 00:29:50,200 Speaker 2: six Republican senators, huge Republican house. Like people were planning, 580 00:29:50,240 --> 00:29:52,240 Speaker 2: people were talking about, all right, who's gonna be Secretary 581 00:29:52,240 --> 00:29:55,000 Speaker 2: of State, who's gonna be Secretary of Defense? Like they're handing. 582 00:29:54,760 --> 00:29:58,000 Speaker 1: Already moved on. Yeah, we wanted now what's next? And 583 00:29:58,040 --> 00:29:58,840 Speaker 1: that's not the case. 584 00:29:59,080 --> 00:30:00,760 Speaker 2: And my view, and I was trying to say this 585 00:30:00,840 --> 00:30:05,320 Speaker 2: is Look, there's a time for celebration, celebrate after election day, 586 00:30:05,560 --> 00:30:08,400 Speaker 2: celebrate after we've won. Now is not the time for celebration. 587 00:30:08,800 --> 00:30:10,760 Speaker 2: Now's the time for hard work. Now's the time for 588 00:30:10,880 --> 00:30:14,040 Speaker 2: rolling up your sleeves and going to win. And my 589 00:30:14,160 --> 00:30:17,200 Speaker 2: assumption is coming out of the convention, Republicans will get 590 00:30:17,240 --> 00:30:19,760 Speaker 2: a little bounce. You know, historically it's about four points, 591 00:30:19,840 --> 00:30:21,719 Speaker 2: is what you get out of your convention. I think 592 00:30:21,760 --> 00:30:24,160 Speaker 2: it was a strong convention. So let's assume that happens 593 00:30:25,360 --> 00:30:27,600 Speaker 2: the Democrats, and I will give them credit for one thing. 594 00:30:27,640 --> 00:30:31,280 Speaker 2: They're timing of releasing it right after the convention. Perfect 595 00:30:31,320 --> 00:30:35,960 Speaker 2: timing to do this, because it resets the whole race. 596 00:30:36,000 --> 00:30:38,920 Speaker 2: It almost doesn't matter what the bounce was out of 597 00:30:38,920 --> 00:30:42,120 Speaker 2: the convention. And here's the problem. For the next month, 598 00:30:43,680 --> 00:30:47,000 Speaker 2: all of the news is going to be dominated by 599 00:30:47,080 --> 00:30:49,120 Speaker 2: who the Democrat is going to be. The Democrats are 600 00:30:49,120 --> 00:30:52,160 Speaker 2: about to have a month long convention instead of a week. 601 00:30:52,200 --> 00:30:53,840 Speaker 2: Why do you get a bounce out of a convention. 602 00:30:53,880 --> 00:30:55,440 Speaker 2: You get a bounce out of convention because you have 603 00:30:55,480 --> 00:30:58,320 Speaker 2: four days of driving the news, the earn media every 604 00:30:58,440 --> 00:31:01,840 Speaker 2: night of your people on TV pitching all of the 605 00:31:01,840 --> 00:31:04,600 Speaker 2: benefits of your nominee, all the benefits of your record, 606 00:31:04,600 --> 00:31:07,400 Speaker 2: all the benefits of your agenda. Instead of a four 607 00:31:07,440 --> 00:31:09,320 Speaker 2: day convention, the Democrats are about to have a month 608 00:31:09,360 --> 00:31:12,880 Speaker 2: long convention where every news story will be focused on 609 00:31:12,920 --> 00:31:15,640 Speaker 2: who the nominee is gonna be. And they're also going 610 00:31:15,720 --> 00:31:19,160 Speaker 2: to be doing a combination of number one, praising Biden. 611 00:31:19,200 --> 00:31:23,400 Speaker 2: You know, it's not graceful to he's on his way out. 612 00:31:23,520 --> 00:31:25,040 Speaker 2: People don't want to criticize him anymore. 613 00:31:25,040 --> 00:31:26,480 Speaker 1: We're going to They did this for America. 614 00:31:26,560 --> 00:31:28,840 Speaker 2: He's historic, He's one of the greatest presidents of the 615 00:31:28,880 --> 00:31:30,560 Speaker 2: history of the universe. I mean, you're gonna hear all 616 00:31:30,640 --> 00:31:34,720 Speaker 2: of that effusively, and then they're going to talk about 617 00:31:34,800 --> 00:31:38,040 Speaker 2: what an historic president Kamala Harris would be and it's 618 00:31:38,080 --> 00:31:41,200 Speaker 2: going to be a month long We're going to see. 619 00:31:41,360 --> 00:31:44,680 Speaker 1: Multi I would argue multi billion dollar in kind contribution. 620 00:31:45,200 --> 00:31:51,360 Speaker 2: And by the way, Republicans, I worry vastly underestimate Kamala 621 00:31:51,400 --> 00:31:53,680 Speaker 2: Harris that they don't think very highly of her. They 622 00:31:53,680 --> 00:31:56,960 Speaker 2: don't think she's terribly bright. When you or I bring 623 00:31:57,040 --> 00:32:00,920 Speaker 2: up Kamala Harris's name in Republican circles, people. It's immediately 624 00:32:00,920 --> 00:32:05,719 Speaker 2: a punch line. I think people are underestimating what billions 625 00:32:05,720 --> 00:32:09,400 Speaker 2: of dollars of free media, of the entire corrupt corporate 626 00:32:09,440 --> 00:32:15,760 Speaker 2: media complex. Pitching her as a combination of Mother Teresa, 627 00:32:15,920 --> 00:32:17,640 Speaker 2: Oprah and Gandhi. 628 00:32:17,240 --> 00:32:18,959 Speaker 1: I mean, and save the party. 629 00:32:19,080 --> 00:32:22,720 Speaker 2: It's going to be and young and vibrant, and it's historic. 630 00:32:23,800 --> 00:32:26,320 Speaker 2: I mean it is going to be now. I still 631 00:32:26,360 --> 00:32:31,640 Speaker 2: think Trump wins in November. But this is not a layup. 632 00:32:31,720 --> 00:32:34,400 Speaker 2: It is not given in what's coming in front of us. Look, 633 00:32:34,600 --> 00:32:36,880 Speaker 2: if you're a Democrat, what makes you nervous is chaos, 634 00:32:36,920 --> 00:32:40,080 Speaker 2: and this much chaos one hundred days out is scary. 635 00:32:40,760 --> 00:32:43,920 Speaker 2: But you know what even more scary is going to 636 00:32:43,960 --> 00:32:46,000 Speaker 2: an election where you're almost certain to lose, which is 637 00:32:46,040 --> 00:32:49,320 Speaker 2: where Biden was. So from their perspective, chaos and a 638 00:32:49,400 --> 00:32:53,520 Speaker 2: chance to win or certain loss, they'll take chaos. But 639 00:32:53,640 --> 00:32:56,360 Speaker 2: Republicans need to understand just how dangerous this is. 640 00:32:56,520 --> 00:32:58,959 Speaker 1: It's all perspective in life. And I said this earlier. 641 00:32:59,000 --> 00:33:00,680 Speaker 1: It's like you're on the greatest cruise ship in the 642 00:33:00,680 --> 00:33:03,280 Speaker 1: world and that cruise ship's going down and a crappy 643 00:33:03,320 --> 00:33:05,600 Speaker 1: little fishing boat shows up and it saves your life. 644 00:33:06,400 --> 00:33:08,840 Speaker 1: You love that crappy fishing boat the rest of your life. 645 00:33:08,920 --> 00:33:11,200 Speaker 1: It doesn't matter how bad it looks, how ugly it was. 646 00:33:11,480 --> 00:33:14,560 Speaker 1: You just got your life saved. And that's Kamala Harris like, 647 00:33:14,760 --> 00:33:15,240 Speaker 1: not a good. 648 00:33:15,160 --> 00:33:18,120 Speaker 2: Time that you do not have a career as a 649 00:33:18,160 --> 00:33:21,520 Speaker 2: Democrat politics ad maker. I can see the ad now, 650 00:33:21,680 --> 00:33:24,840 Speaker 2: Kamala Harris the boat to save your life. 651 00:33:24,760 --> 00:33:27,240 Speaker 1: To save your life. But it's perspective. I mean, that's 652 00:33:27,240 --> 00:33:30,160 Speaker 1: what they're dealing with. I know, right, But she didn't 653 00:33:30,160 --> 00:33:31,840 Speaker 1: even make it. I mean, I go back to when 654 00:33:31,840 --> 00:33:34,640 Speaker 1: she was running. She got zero delegates, correct, and she 655 00:33:34,760 --> 00:33:37,880 Speaker 1: was a terrible kennet. But when you're now in the 656 00:33:37,880 --> 00:33:40,280 Speaker 1: position of that boat sinking and I'm the only one 657 00:33:40,320 --> 00:33:43,040 Speaker 1: that's got doesn't have a hole in the boat, I'm 658 00:33:43,080 --> 00:33:46,280 Speaker 1: pretty I'm pretty appealing to everybody on that boat, and 659 00:33:46,320 --> 00:33:48,040 Speaker 1: I love you, and I'm willing to swim to you, 660 00:33:48,120 --> 00:33:50,120 Speaker 1: and I'm willing to hug you and kiss you and 661 00:33:50,160 --> 00:33:53,160 Speaker 1: say thank you for saving my life. It's all perspective. 662 00:33:53,200 --> 00:33:55,160 Speaker 1: And that's what the media is going to do to her, 663 00:33:55,560 --> 00:33:59,520 Speaker 1: is say she just saved us from guaranteed to fate defeat. 664 00:33:59,560 --> 00:34:02,320 Speaker 1: She is a savior to the Democratic Party. We love 665 00:34:02,360 --> 00:34:05,680 Speaker 1: her and they're all going to be energized. That terrifies me. 666 00:34:05,920 --> 00:34:11,239 Speaker 2: Yeah, energized. And once she's the nominee, unified. You know, 667 00:34:11,320 --> 00:34:14,440 Speaker 2: one thing to keep in mind. People are focused on, oh, money, 668 00:34:14,480 --> 00:34:17,719 Speaker 2: and Trump has a money advantage. Put yourself in the 669 00:34:17,760 --> 00:34:22,840 Speaker 2: mindset of a Democrat gazillionaire, of a Democrat activist, of 670 00:34:22,880 --> 00:34:27,000 Speaker 2: a Democrat union boss, of a Democrat special interest leader. 671 00:34:27,600 --> 00:34:31,719 Speaker 2: A week ago, you were depressed, you were demoralizing, you 672 00:34:31,760 --> 00:34:35,399 Speaker 2: were contemplating America run by Hitler. And by the way, 673 00:34:35,400 --> 00:34:37,279 Speaker 2: if you're one of those people you think Donald Trump 674 00:34:37,280 --> 00:34:40,040 Speaker 2: is Adolf Hitler. Yeah, but look like you were just 675 00:34:40,200 --> 00:34:41,440 Speaker 2: I don't even know if I want to show up 676 00:34:41,480 --> 00:34:45,160 Speaker 2: and vote. It's terrible. It's horrible. And now to go 677 00:34:45,280 --> 00:34:49,239 Speaker 2: back to the sinking cruise ship, you've been thrown a lifeline. 678 00:34:49,719 --> 00:34:53,360 Speaker 2: I think we're going to see jubilation on the Democrat side. 679 00:34:53,760 --> 00:34:55,799 Speaker 2: That's dangerous too, you know, jubilation. 680 00:34:56,160 --> 00:34:56,440 Speaker 1: Yeah. 681 00:34:56,480 --> 00:34:58,319 Speaker 2: What happens is donors pull out their checks and they 682 00:34:58,400 --> 00:35:01,520 Speaker 2: write really big checks when they're massive. What happens is 683 00:35:01,640 --> 00:35:04,640 Speaker 2: activists go and they work harder, they turn more people out, 684 00:35:05,040 --> 00:35:09,680 Speaker 2: and that particularly if the Republicans are over confident. We 685 00:35:09,800 --> 00:35:13,640 Speaker 2: cannot be over confident. That combination is dangerous. And you 686 00:35:13,640 --> 00:35:16,680 Speaker 2: know what, it reminds me of, potentially I hope this 687 00:35:16,719 --> 00:35:18,279 Speaker 2: is not right, but it reminds me of a few 688 00:35:18,360 --> 00:35:21,239 Speaker 2: years ago, the A and M versus Alabama game. I 689 00:35:21,320 --> 00:35:23,160 Speaker 2: was there at the A and M versus Alabama game. 690 00:35:23,200 --> 00:35:24,880 Speaker 2: Alabama at the time was the number one team in 691 00:35:24,880 --> 00:35:26,960 Speaker 2: the country. You have me at sports analogy. I'm all 692 00:35:27,000 --> 00:35:29,400 Speaker 2: in now A and M. A and M had started 693 00:35:29,440 --> 00:35:31,239 Speaker 2: off as a top twenty five team and had a 694 00:35:31,280 --> 00:35:35,200 Speaker 2: good team, but it had lost two games in a row. Yep, 695 00:35:35,280 --> 00:35:37,400 Speaker 2: two opponents that weren't wasn't supposed to lose. I think 696 00:35:37,440 --> 00:35:38,479 Speaker 2: maybe Mississippi State. 697 00:35:38,600 --> 00:35:39,359 Speaker 1: Yeah, it was bad. 698 00:35:39,480 --> 00:35:42,280 Speaker 2: It was bad. And so we came into the game 699 00:35:42,360 --> 00:35:45,560 Speaker 2: and I was there in College Station, and I remember 700 00:35:45,600 --> 00:35:47,120 Speaker 2: saying to my buddies I was at the game with, 701 00:35:47,200 --> 00:35:49,080 Speaker 2: I said, you know what, I think A and M 702 00:35:49,160 --> 00:35:52,200 Speaker 2: has a real chance to win this game because I 703 00:35:52,200 --> 00:35:54,480 Speaker 2: think Alabama's feeling like we're the number one team in 704 00:35:54,520 --> 00:35:57,279 Speaker 2: the country and these A and M guys suck. Look 705 00:35:57,280 --> 00:36:00,640 Speaker 2: at look they're losing to teams that are not contenders. 706 00:36:01,280 --> 00:36:04,040 Speaker 2: This is easy. We're playing a junior high team, and 707 00:36:04,080 --> 00:36:06,279 Speaker 2: I think the Aggies were pissed off or they were 708 00:36:06,320 --> 00:36:08,719 Speaker 2: at Kyle Field and they were defending their home and 709 00:36:08,760 --> 00:36:11,120 Speaker 2: they were mad because everyone was dismissing them as a 710 00:36:11,200 --> 00:36:13,560 Speaker 2: joke and they're like, wait a second, We're a top 711 00:36:13,600 --> 00:36:17,560 Speaker 2: tier football team. And they ended up winning that game. 712 00:36:17,600 --> 00:36:20,800 Speaker 2: It was awesome. Forty one thirty eight was the final score. 713 00:36:21,160 --> 00:36:26,000 Speaker 2: Kyle Field erupted. I don't want to see the Democrats 714 00:36:26,040 --> 00:36:27,960 Speaker 2: playing the role of A and M in that dynamic, 715 00:36:28,000 --> 00:36:31,520 Speaker 2: and so my message to Republicans is do not behave 716 00:36:31,760 --> 00:36:33,840 Speaker 2: like this is in the bag, because that's one of 717 00:36:33,880 --> 00:36:36,479 Speaker 2: the easiest ways to ensure it's not in the bag. 718 00:36:36,560 --> 00:36:39,120 Speaker 1: I want to ask you strategy question on if you 719 00:36:39,120 --> 00:36:42,200 Speaker 1: are the Trump team, what do you do when you 720 00:36:42,280 --> 00:36:44,680 Speaker 1: just start acting like you're running against Harris. Before you 721 00:36:44,719 --> 00:36:46,480 Speaker 1: answer that, I want to tell you about our friends 722 00:36:46,520 --> 00:36:50,279 Speaker 1: over at Preborn and the incredible work that they are 723 00:36:50,400 --> 00:36:52,080 Speaker 1: doing and how you can get involved. 724 00:36:52,480 --> 00:36:52,600 Speaker 2: Uh. 725 00:36:52,840 --> 00:36:57,879 Speaker 1: Preborn is an organization that fights for unborn children. How 726 00:36:57,880 --> 00:37:01,440 Speaker 1: do they do this? Preborn's network of clinics shine the 727 00:37:01,480 --> 00:37:04,480 Speaker 1: bright light in the darkest corner of our country where 728 00:37:04,520 --> 00:37:07,680 Speaker 1: abortions take place thousands of times a day. If we 729 00:37:07,800 --> 00:37:11,839 Speaker 1: can help protect these children. It is so important that 730 00:37:11,960 --> 00:37:15,560 Speaker 1: we make sure that their heartbeat, their voices are heard. 731 00:37:16,080 --> 00:37:19,239 Speaker 1: How do they do this? Preborn introduces mothers to their 732 00:37:19,239 --> 00:37:23,920 Speaker 1: precious preborn babies through ultrasound. Ultrasound is an incredible tool 733 00:37:24,320 --> 00:37:27,560 Speaker 1: where a mother can hear the heart of their baby. 734 00:37:28,040 --> 00:37:32,480 Speaker 1: This combination leads to Preborn saving over two one hundred 735 00:37:32,560 --> 00:37:35,920 Speaker 1: and eighty thousand babies to date. What they do is 736 00:37:35,920 --> 00:37:39,919 Speaker 1: they pay for those ultrasounds. Your donation of twenty eight 737 00:37:39,960 --> 00:37:44,320 Speaker 1: dollars sponsors one ultrasound and it's critical for the battle 738 00:37:44,640 --> 00:37:47,960 Speaker 1: for life. So let's join together and save as many 739 00:37:48,000 --> 00:37:54,120 Speaker 1: lives and heartbeats as possible. Introducing mothers to their child's heartbeat, 740 00:37:54,560 --> 00:37:58,160 Speaker 1: Please donate and it's easy.

If you are Donald Trump, you 746 00:38:22,840 --> 00:38:26,320 Speaker 1: now know that Biden is gone. The number one question 747 00:38:26,400 --> 00:38:29,200 Speaker 1: that the campaign's got to ask is how do you 748 00:38:29,320 --> 00:38:32,239 Speaker 1: campaign against somebody for the next month that you don't 749 00:38:32,239 --> 00:38:33,040 Speaker 1: know who it's gonna be. 750 00:38:33,960 --> 00:38:37,160 Speaker 2: So look, I'd say forty percent you campaign against Kamala Harris, 751 00:38:37,239 --> 00:38:40,840 Speaker 2: you assume it's Kamala, and sixty percent you campaign against 752 00:38:40,880 --> 00:38:44,239 Speaker 2: the Democrats record. And I will say I've been concerned 753 00:38:44,280 --> 00:38:46,919 Speaker 2: in recent weeks and months that we've spent too much 754 00:38:47,000 --> 00:38:52,040 Speaker 2: time attacking Joe Biden for his mental diminishment and not 755 00:38:52,280 --> 00:38:54,799 Speaker 2: enough time making the case as as you and I 756 00:38:54,840 --> 00:38:58,440 Speaker 2: often do, that the Biden Harris Democrat record has been 757 00:38:58,440 --> 00:39:00,560 Speaker 2: a train wreck. And I say Democrat record because it's 758 00:39:00,600 --> 00:39:03,080 Speaker 2: not just Joe Biden, it's Kamala Harris, and it's every 759 00:39:03,160 --> 00:39:06,560 Speaker 2: single Democrat in Congress, every Democrat senator, every Democrat House member. 760 00:39:06,920 --> 00:39:09,520 Speaker 2: They voted repeatedly in favor of the spending and the 761 00:39:09,560 --> 00:39:12,800 Speaker 2: debt that is causing inflation. They voted repeatedly in favor 762 00:39:12,840 --> 00:39:15,319 Speaker 2: of Biden's war on oil and gas and energy that 763 00:39:15,440 --> 00:39:18,520 Speaker 2: is causing energy prices to skyrocket. They voted repeatedly in 764 00:39:18,520 --> 00:39:21,800 Speaker 2: favor of open borders that's endangering our families across this country. 765 00:39:22,120 --> 00:39:24,880 Speaker 2: They voted repeatedly in favor of letting violent criminals out 766 00:39:24,920 --> 00:39:27,720 Speaker 2: of jail. That is again endangering our families. They voted 767 00:39:27,760 --> 00:39:33,880 Speaker 2: repeatedly in favor of appeasing our enemies and undermining our allies. 768 00:39:33,920 --> 00:39:38,800 Speaker 2: And so from the Trump's campaign, I would assume it's Kamala, 769 00:39:38,880 --> 00:39:41,520 Speaker 2: but also make the broader point it is their agenda 770 00:39:41,600 --> 00:39:44,759 Speaker 2: that has failed the American people. The classic question in 771 00:39:44,800 --> 00:39:46,680 Speaker 2: any election, are you better off now than you were 772 00:39:46,719 --> 00:39:49,560 Speaker 2: four years ago? It doesn't matter what fill in the 773 00:39:49,560 --> 00:39:53,799 Speaker 2: blank democrat they drop into that slot, they're going to 774 00:39:53,800 --> 00:39:57,680 Speaker 2: be defending the same disastrous, failed record. And so I 775 00:39:57,760 --> 00:40:00,839 Speaker 2: hope the Trump campaign and I hope Republicans generally make 776 00:40:00,920 --> 00:40:03,759 Speaker 2: that case substantively. On on the. 777 00:40:03,719 --> 00:40:06,640 Speaker 1: Merits, it's gonna be interesting. We're gonna cover it all. 778 00:40:07,120 --> 00:40:10,280 Speaker 1: Make sure you share this podcast with your family and friends. 779 00:40:10,480 --> 00:40:14,000 Speaker 1: Share the video on social media from YouTube.

You can share it there as well, 781 00:40:16,840 --> 00:40:19,319 Speaker 1: so that you can have other people hear what we 782 00:40:19,320 --> 00:40:22,240 Speaker 1: were saying here today. When this type of news breaks, 783 00:40:22,440 --> 00:40:24,879 Speaker 1: we do a podcast as fast as we can. It's 784 00:40:25,000 --> 00:40:25,839 Speaker 1: emergency pod. 785 00:40:25,960 --> 00:40:27,480 Speaker 2: Yes, let me make a final statement. 786 00:40:27,600 --> 00:40:28,120 Speaker 1: I like this. 787 00:40:28,400 --> 00:40:32,840 Speaker 2: I'm going to place the odds that Joe Biden pardons 788 00:40:32,920 --> 00:40:38,600 Speaker 2: Hunter Biden at one hundred point zero percent, Hunter Biden 789 00:40:38,840 --> 00:40:42,479 Speaker 2: will get a pardon as a result of this decision today, 790 00:40:42,560 --> 00:40:44,160 Speaker 2: will not happen till after election day. 791 00:40:44,239 --> 00:40:45,479 Speaker 1: That's what I was gonna ask, when's the happening. 792 00:40:45,520 --> 00:40:47,000 Speaker 2: He's not gonna do it. He's not gonna do it 793 00:40:47,040 --> 00:40:50,560 Speaker 2: before election day, but he's gonna stick around and after 794 00:40:50,680 --> 00:40:52,960 Speaker 2: election day. I believe it is now one hundred percent 795 00:40:53,000 --> 00:40:54,359 Speaker 2: that Joe Biden will pardon Hunter. 796 00:40:55,320 --> 00:40:56,839 Speaker 1: I have a feeling that might be part of our 797 00:40:56,840 --> 00:40:59,839 Speaker 1: next show. It might be Don't forget we do this money. 798 00:41:00,000 --> 00:41:02,920 Speaker 1: He's a Friday hit that subscribe auto download button the 799 00:41:03,000 --> 00:41:04,680 Speaker 1: center and I will see you back here in a 800 00:41:04,719 --> 00:41:05,359 Speaker 1: couple of days.
