Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) joins the show to talk about the upcoming presidential debate between Donald Trump and Joe Biden. Plus, the usual drinking game of "Who's Drinking the Most?" and much, much more!
00:03:29.000Now that seems literal, not figurative.
00:03:31.000I could see Joe Biden actually doing that.
00:03:35.000Well, look, he's been in the basement for six months.
00:03:38.000I don't think he's actually seen human interaction.
00:03:44.000Look, I will say in seriousness, I'm worried that conservatives and the right have convinced ourselves that Joe Biden has full-on dementia.
00:04:09.000And we have defined the bar down so low that no matter what Joe Biden does, if he falls on the ground, curls in the fetal position and cries, tomorrow the media will say Biden won.
00:04:24.000Right, as opposed to reporting that that's a repeat of his 88 campaign, which you guys can check the tape.
00:04:30.000No, I think you're right, and here's the thing too, I'm not so much concerned about the low expectations, though I agree, I am just concerned as to whether President Trump has bought into that and not prepared, because Joe Biden could be in the basement, he could be hitting, you know, Racks of beef, for all we know.
00:04:47.000And, by the way, I've had relatives with dementia and Alzheimer's, and they can have moments of great clarity, where it's just like a light switch switches on, and then all of a sudden the circuit breaks.
00:04:59.000Except, remember, Joe's running in the Democratic primary, so he wouldn't actually be hitting beef, he'd be, like, beating up on tofu somewhere.
00:05:45.000Biden doesn't want this to be on the issues.
00:05:49.000Biden wants it to be a personality contest.
00:05:52.000Biden wants it, do you like or dislike Donald J. Trump?
00:05:57.000And I think they think personality contests, they win.
00:06:00.000I think that's why Biden's hiding in the basement is he doesn't want to say anything to disrupt whether some voters might be upset at the latest tweet or whatever, what have you.
00:06:12.000Look, this country is at a moment of crisis.
00:06:15.00051 million Americans have lost their job.
00:06:17.000Donald Trump wants to open up the economy.
00:06:19.000Joe Biden wants to shut down the economy.
00:06:23.000Do you think that it maybe makes it more difficult, almost, because, you know, as opposed to, for example, let's say the candidate were Bernie Sanders, a self-avowed socialist, or like an AOC, that Joe Biden, you know, who's been in government for 48 years, kind of stands for nothing.
00:06:38.000So it's almost like trying to grab an amoeba where he can sort of maintain any position he wants on the issues because he's often been on both sides of them.
00:06:47.000It almost seems like it's tougher to grab a hold of him.
00:06:50.000Well, look, I think that's a challenge and I don't know how much President Trump is prepared.
00:06:55.000That's where preparing helps when you can come back with the substance and facts and record.
00:07:01.000I think Trump will be quick on counter-punching But I don't know that he will necessarily have all the facts at his fingertips.
00:07:09.000And you're right, Biden is going to try to backtrack and claim that he hasn't.
00:07:20.000He's suddenly pretending he's more reasonable on guns rather than a radical.
00:07:27.000Now, never mind you that Biden said he would put Beto O'Rourke in charge of gun policy, and when a reporter said, are you saying if Joe Biden were president, you're coming after our guns, his response was one word, bingo.
00:07:54.000Let me ask you this, having been there sort of in the ring, as it were, with Donald Trump, and he was kind of an unknown entity, right, coming into the primaries, what surprised you most at your debates with Donald Trump?
00:08:05.000Was there anything that you thought, oh, okay, maybe he has something, some arrow in the quiver here that I wasn't ready for?
00:08:18.000Counterpunching is his greatest strength.
00:08:23.000If you look at Trump's debate with Hillary Clinton, When he showed up at the debate with a bunch of the alleged victims of Bill Clinton's sexual assaults.
00:08:34.000And I'm not laughing at sexual assaults, I'm just laughing at the move from the future President of the United States.
00:08:40.000It was a holy crap moment, like the press, nobody could speak and it was right after the Billy Bush tape when Trump was, like, it was a rocky time.
00:08:57.000I expect to see him go after Hunter Biden corruption.
00:09:05.000And it'll be interesting to see if Joe, how he handles that.
00:09:09.000Yeah, that was going to be my question, is how personal we think it's going to get, but I think that just sort of remains to be seen, and hopefully, if nothing else, I think there's an opening here for Donald Trump to do the job that the media hasn't, because we've been watching CNN non-stop these last couple weeks, and they haven't covered it since we've been watching, and I know for a fact that ABC hasn't at all.
00:09:27.000Let's go finally to this, because your book is now out, one vote away, about the Supreme Court.
00:09:32.000That's going to be one of the topics tonight.
00:09:37.000What do you expect that conversation to be, and how do you expect the media to misrepresent it?
00:09:42.000Because this has been one of those issues that it's tough to attribute to incompetence what can be attributed to malice at this point.
00:09:52.000Now the media are hardcore Democratic partisans.
00:09:55.000I expect Joe Biden's talking point to be the talking point that Democrats are consistently following, which is to say that if Judge Barrett has confirmed, as Justice Barrett, that the court will strike down Obamacare and it'll take away protections for pre-existing conditions.
00:10:14.000On the merits, that's nonsense, because every Republican agrees we're going to protect pre-existing conditions.
00:10:20.000But more interestingly, Stephen, it reveals how defensive Democrats are on the court.
00:10:27.000The fact that they want to twist it into a health care issue It means Joe Biden doesn't want to discuss free speech and the Supreme Court going after our free speech rights.
00:10:36.000He doesn't want to discuss religious liberty.
00:10:38.000He doesn't want to discuss the Second Amendment.
00:10:41.000The book I have that came out today, One Vote Away, each chapter talks about a different constitutional liberty.
00:10:48.000One on free speech, one on religious liberty, one on the Second Amendment, one on U.S.
00:11:31.000Why does it make a difference in my life?
00:11:34.000It's interesting behind-the-scenes stories about the justices, about the cases, and what it illustrates is on issue after issue after issue, the court is 5-4 and we are one vote away.
00:11:46.000We are one vote away From the court taking away our free speech rights, our religious liberty rights, our Second Amendment rights.
00:12:12.000I will say this as a layman, when I try and research some of the landmark Supreme Court cases, often more definitive, and something that most Americans never hear about, are the dissenting opinions, right?
00:13:19.000The dissenters instead argued, and you put it exactly right, That the Second Amendment protects no individual right whatsoever, that no American has any right under the Second Amendment, which means the government could make it illegal, make it a crime for you or I to own a firearm, and the four dissenters said, no constitutional problem, knock yourself out,
00:13:43.000And by the way, Hillary Clinton and Joe Biden both pledged to appoint Supreme Court nominees who would overturn Heller and, in effect, erase the Second Amendment from the Bill of Rights.
00:14:25.000Well, and Stephen, let me jump in on something.
00:14:27.000You and I have talked before about how Ben Shapiro and the Daily Wire guys, when they do their late night show, they use your cups as ashtrays, which I for one am offended with, although I did partake.
00:14:41.000But, you know, I want this actually to be an opportunity for the battle of the right-wing libertarian heavyweights.
00:14:53.000And so I'm doing Ben Shapiro's show this week, I'm doing your show this week, and you know what we're gonna do?
00:14:59.000We're gonna keep a record of who moves more books.
00:15:05.000Whether Louder With Crowder drives folks to go to Amazon or Barnes & Noble and buy the book, you can do it right now, one vote away, or whether Shapiro does.
00:15:16.000I'm thinking you're going to take out Ben, but he's trying pretty hard, too.
00:15:20.000Well, you know, I don't really think it's fair to call me and Ben a battle of heavyweights.
00:15:24.000I mean, congratulations, Ben is the toughest guy at a 14-year-old slumber party.
00:15:30.000So I don't want to look like a bully, but I appreciate you.
00:15:33.000A creative way to promote your book with a little extra zing on the show.
00:15:37.000And I do think he'll probably sell more in the Amazon bookstore physical crowd, and will do pretty well in the digital version.
00:15:43.000But I love Ben, and his Tumblr is fine if you don't mind asbestos.
00:15:46.000My final question for you, Senator Cruz, is you have to call it The media will obviously say Biden wins no matter what, but if you have to call objectively, who do you think comes out the victor tonight?
00:19:01.000Oh, that's right, the drinking game rules!
00:19:04.000The drinking game rules tonight are, bring them up, anytime you hear a leading or unfair question to Donald Trump, anytime he drops a thug life moment, anytime China fake news is mentioned with Joe Biden, anytime he gets a softball question, has a dementia moment, talks tougher from the shoulders he says, or if he says, come on man, and you hear this ding, You take a drink, and finish your drink, you have to down it if Donald Trump mentions Hunter Biden.
00:20:05.000Alright so best case for Joe Biden is that he does not, I feel like the bar is so low he just doesn't stumble through his part of the talk.
00:20:13.000He just is able to make points and he's able to move through it without falling down on his face and I really think that's the bar.
00:20:31.000So Donald Trump, I think he's got to be a little bit more subtle than he normally is.
00:20:36.000He can punch at Joe Biden, but if he starts to beat up on him and people start to feel sorry for him, I think that is the challenge when you're fighting someone with special needs.
00:20:44.000And I say this as someone who has great experience fighting people with special needs.
00:21:11.000So I was going to say, I think Gerald is wrong, and I think that the president should not lift up his foot off the gas when it comes to attacking
00:21:20.000Biden because this is one of those moments where you've got to follow through
00:21:24.000with all the rhetoric that we've been hearing everything we've been seeing from
00:21:28.000the vice president over this entire last couple of months is that he's going to
00:21:32.000easily sail through that's his own position and I just don't think it's the
00:21:36.000case there's been a lot of fun a lot of fun poked at Joe Biden and some articles
00:21:40.000written about how it's been a low we've lowered the bar so high so that's
00:21:43.000gonna be jumping you know He's gonna lower it so high, you lower it low.
00:21:47.000Lowered it so low that he's going to be able to jump over it.
00:21:50.000This is my third language, so get out of here.
00:21:54.000You and Gene Simmons, put your fedora on.
00:22:00.000Also because I think it will be most entertaining for me, which is the point.
00:22:04.000So here's what I think is the best case scenario for Donald Trump.
00:22:07.000I think early on, Joe Biden has the balls to do what he's been doing this whole time on the campaign trail, where he calls Donald Trump's integrity into question.
00:22:15.000This man, he denigrates the highest office in the land!
00:22:19.000He should continue doing, if he continues doing that, he opens up the opportunity for Donald Trump to go personal.
00:22:25.000So what I'm hoping is he does that on the outset, Donald Trump goes personal, gets rid of all of this on the outset, does a Hunter Biden, Burisma, and then after that hopefully Wallace steps in and, alright guys, you boys, boys, boys, and allows him to get to policy where Donald Trump can also destroy Biden.
00:22:40.000As far as what I see best case scenario for Biden, it's pretty tough.
00:22:45.000He needs to avoid any and all personal attacks, I would say.
00:22:48.000He should avoid it because that's Donald Trump's specialty.
00:22:52.000And I think he needs to lay out a positive kind of future for America, which is tough to do when you've suckled at the government teat for 48 years and have nothing to show for it.
00:23:02.000But I think that's kind of his best path to victory, is to stay out of the mud, and he needs to stay off policy, and if it comes to policy, Joe Biden does have a little bit of a Trump card, for lack of a better word, in that he is a moderate, he should play that up.
00:23:14.000This is a debate now, this is something where it's a debate, he needs to play up being a moderate, because Democrats, they have to run as moderates to win elections, Republicans have to run as conservative as they can to win elections.
00:23:23.000You see Donald Trump, who was a moderate, really kind of, if you look at early on before he became a Republican candidate, Then in the primaries and into the general election, he
00:23:31.000increasingly became more conservative.
00:23:33.000You saw the opposite with Hillary Clinton and you see Joe Biden saying that he was,
00:23:37.000of course, going to ban fracking until he's for fracking.
00:23:40.000I don't know where he's going to defend himself on TPP, on NAFTA, on the economy.
00:23:46.000This is a really, really rough debate for Biden.
00:24:00.000Biden just needs to not crap himself, right?
00:24:03.000Biden needs to make it through without the crinkle in his Depends going away because you know it's moist.
00:24:10.000But Donald Trump, the same thing with Donald Trump, people are expecting him to be such a bombastic jackass Because they've sort of developed their impression of Donald Trump through how they see him conveyed in the media.
00:24:23.000Keep in mind when Donald Trump started doing those press briefings, when COVID started, his approval rating went up the moment he started speaking directly to the American people.
00:24:32.000This, unlike the town halls, should be one of those instances where a lot of people who are undecided or people who aren't just Democrats or just Republicans will hear from Donald Trump himself, and so he just needs to be a little more likable, just likable enough to give them a reason to pull the lever for the guy who doesn't have dementia and crap his pants every time you try and make a Hot Pocket.
00:24:54.000And I definitely think that's a really good point, is that this has got to be the moment where Joe Biden really abandons BLM and Antifa and the other far left if he really wants to win this election.
00:25:04.000Because so many folks are going, no, I'm not a fan of so many real Americans who may be undecided in this election.
00:25:11.000They're saying, I'm not in favor of burning down cities, burning down businesses, and creating this kind of unsafe environment.
00:25:48.000Michigan, Friday, October 2nd, noon, in Lansing, the state capitol building.
00:25:53.000I'll be right, hey Governor Whitmer, we're gonna be in your backyard going through all your private stuff, you better come out and pound me!
00:26:18.000You guys are saying that he has to go more moderate.
00:26:20.000That's where I think people have it wrong because they go, oh, Joe Biden, you know,
00:26:23.000they're just really voting for him because he's not Trump, right?
00:26:26.000That's what people, but the truth is there's no enthusiasm for Biden.
00:26:28.000If people hated Trump that much, that enthusiasm would translate to the yang of the ying, right?
00:26:33.000You know, it would sort of be a mirror image where you would think they'd be enthusiastic for anyone not named Trump, but that's not what we're seeing.
00:28:36.000I am not convinced that they aren't going to bring out just like one of those Minority Report spiders with a monitor of Biden's face like a mojo.
00:28:44.000That's what I think they might be doing here.
00:30:04.000This debate is sponsored by the Commission on Presidential Debates.
00:30:07.000The Commission has designed the format, six roughly 15-minute segments, with two-minute answers from each candidate to the first question, then open discussion for the rest of each segment.
00:30:20.000Both campaigns have agreed to these rules.
00:30:23.000For the record, I decided the topics and the questions in each topic.
00:30:29.000I can assure you, none of the questions has been shared with the Commission or the two candidates.
00:30:34.000This debate is being conducted under health and safety protocols designed by the Cleveland Clinic, which is serving as the health security advisor to the Commission for all four debates.
00:30:46.000As a precaution, both campaigns have agreed that candidates will not shake hands at the beginning of tonight's debate.
00:30:57.000No cheers, no boos or other interruptions so we, and more importantly you, can focus on what the candidates have to say.
00:31:05.000No noise except right now as we welcome the Republican nominee, President Trump,
00:31:11.000and the Democratic nominee, Vice President Biden.
00:31:44.000President Trump, you nominated Amy Coney Barrett over the weekend to succeed the late Ruth Bader Ginsburg on the court.
00:31:53.000You say the Constitution is clear about your obligation and the Senate's to consider a nominee to the court.
00:32:01.000Vice President Biden, you say that this is an effort by the President and Republicans to jam through on an appointment and what you call an abuse of power.
00:32:10.000My first question to both of you tonight, why are you right in the argument you make, and your opponent wrong, and where do you think a Justice Barrett would take the court?
00:32:23.000President Trump, in this first segment, you go first.
00:32:40.000It was confirmed. There was one exception and it ended up being a resignation.
00:32:44.000In fact, some of her biggest endorsers are very liberal people from Notre Dame and other places.
00:32:52.000So I think she's going to be fantastic.
00:32:54.000We have plenty of time, even if we did it after the election itself.
00:32:58.000I have a lot of time after the election, as you know.
00:33:01.000So I think that she will be outstanding.
00:33:03.000She's going to be as good as anybody that has served on that court.
00:33:09.000We have a professor at Notre Dame, highly respected by all, said she's the single greatest student he's ever had.
00:33:15.000He's been a professor for a long time at a great school.
00:33:18.000And, uh, we just, uh, we won the election, and therefore we have the right to choose her, and very few people knowingly would say otherwise.
00:33:26.000And by the way, the Democrats, they wouldn't even think about not doing it.
00:33:29.000If they had, the only difference is they're trying to do it faster.
00:34:25.000I didn't think it was like almost four years.
00:34:26.000We should wait and see what the outcome of this election is.
00:34:28.000You can't count that high because you can only count on his right hand.
00:34:30.000The only way the American people get to a discrepancy in their view is by who they elect as President and who they elect as Vice President.
00:34:37.000Now, what's at stake here is the President's made it clear he wants to get rid of the Affordable Care Act.
00:34:43.000He's been running on that, he ran on that, and he's been governing on that.
00:34:47.000He's in the Supreme Court right now trying to get rid of...
00:34:51.000So what he's saying is that this woman of the law, revered by both sides, won't just follow the law.
00:34:58.000Keep in mind, the Affordable Care Act insurance premiums rose 105% in 39 states, deductibles higher than 20% in some brackets.
00:35:08.000This far outpaces the average cost, so you can like the Affordable Care Act in theory, But it's well past time to deconstruct it.
00:35:22.000It's only an ideological win that he wants to preserve.
00:35:40.000Nothing about this is focused on our qualifications or the actual legality of the procedure.
00:35:45.000It's all about some hypothetical decision that might be made down the road, but he's not even addressing the law itself.
00:35:51.000He's just saying, fear, fear, fear, you might not get everything you want from the government.
00:35:55.000You might not get to keep your shitty, more expensive healthcare by 105% that I see I sat by and nodded while the first black president, you
00:38:58.000He appeared on March 15th, and then his own advisor, Simone Sanders, went on CNN and said that the CDC said it was safe for 50 or more people to gather.
00:39:17.000Mr. President, the Supreme Court will hear a case a week after the election in which the Trump administration, along with 18 state attorneys general, are seeking to overturn Obamacare, to end Obamacare.
00:39:31.000You have spent the last... Because they want to give good health care.
00:41:00.000We're checking the chat to make sure the audio is loud enough, and people do watch along
00:41:08.000with us because CNN has a pretty faulty digital stream, and of course I know we're going to
00:41:15.000We want you to hear the context but hopefully provide some fact-checking.
00:41:18.000What we're doing with prescription drug prices, we're going to allow our governors now to go to other countries to buy drugs because they pay just a tiny fraction of the price.
00:41:30.000You'll be happy, I'm about to pick up on one of your points to ask the Vice President, which is, he points out that you would like to add a public option to Obamacare.
00:41:40.000And the argument that he makes, that other Republicans make, is that that is going to end private insurance.
00:41:48.000It will end private insurance and create a government takeover of health care.
00:45:32.000Well, you know, for a man who doesn't have a plan, to get the unemployment rate to less than half, to get the average wage growth to more than double or triple, depending on the numbers you use compared to Barack Obama, to get the black unemployment rate to record low, to get the labor force participation rate going gangbusters to record... not... recognized within a singular period.
00:45:53.000For a guy without a plan, I guess in that case, sign me up for a guy without a plan as opposed to a shitty one.
00:46:00.000But in fact it wasn't brought up by the president, it was brought up by some of your Democratic
00:46:25.000You have the microphone ass hat, you demented old circus monkey!
00:46:29.000Whatever I respond, if I actually provide a clear answer to your question, if I actually take a position like a guy who sacked off and dropped a pair, you know, it might be a problem for me.
00:46:40.000I'm trying to shift in really unnoticed, kind of like, you know, with a fire drill, where people don't know that I haven't gone out single file, I'm no longer with my homeroom class.
00:46:48.000This is why I sort of wedge myself in there, go unnoticed.
00:46:50.000If I say whether I support court packing or not, well, you know, Kamala Harris is just gonna be really upset, and I don't need any more pegging!
00:48:28.000So, Michigan is possibly one of the worst states, but if you eliminate the nursing home policies, really you eliminate a huge portion, a majority of the deaths.
00:49:34.000In order to be able to go out and get people the help they need to keep their businesses open, open schools that cost a lot of money, you should get out of your bunker and get out of the non-COVID.
00:53:53.000There were a couple people who said they wouldn't trust the vaccine solely because it would happen before the election.
00:53:57.000It might have been Kamala Harris, Newsom, or Joe Biden.
00:53:59.000Except the drug companies came out and said, we will likely have something in October.
00:54:03.000Well, you're supposed to trust Big Pharma when they say that we should shut down the economy, but not trust them when it actually happens to be in their wheelhouse developing drugs.
00:54:14.000When it comes to the economy, trust the pharmacists.
00:54:16.000When it comes to pharmacology, trust Joe Biden.
00:54:19.000it right away. We have the military all set up logistically.
00:54:22.000They're all set up. We have our military that delivers soldiers and they can do 200,000
00:54:27.000a day. They're going to be delivering the rest.
00:54:29.000This is the same man who told you by Easter this would be gone away. By the warm weather,
00:56:52.000The only person more wrong than the scientific experts who the left loves to tout Our Democratic governors.
00:56:59.000If you want to save the most vulnerable among us, old people and the sick, you would do the exact opposite of what states like Michigan and New York are doing.
01:05:42.000The fact is that he has, in fact, worked on this in a way that he's going to be the first president of the United States to leave office.
01:05:48.000The average wage growth in the United States under Donald Trump in his three years is $5,000.
01:05:53.000It is more significant than ever in modern American history.
01:06:00.000That never happened under Barack Obama, and it's even more significant for African Americans.
01:06:04.000That is something that people need to know.
01:06:07.000And also, by the way, we're talking about trade agreements.
01:06:09.000In the economy, Joe Biden supported NAFTA, Joe Biden supported the Trans-Pacific Partnership, and Donald Trump did away with those.
01:06:15.000And a big part of this that no one ever talks about when they talk about fighting for 15, you know, I was reading up on some of these rules here, is some key points from the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement.
01:06:23.000It requires 75% of the vehicle's parts be made from one of those countries, and it requires more vehicle parts and labor take place by workers earning more than $16 an hour.
01:08:28.000Rachel Maddow, remember she had a big reveal that it was 2005 Donald Trump only paid $38 million in taxes?
01:08:36.000Listen, there's some years where you pay tens of millions, hundreds of millions, and there's some years where you have losses of the business, but there's more to it than that.
01:08:47.000There's a 118 page or so report that says everything I have, every bank I have, I'm totally under leveraged because the assets are extremely good and we have a very, we have a, I built a... I don't know money!
01:10:15.000And I had a song in my head, but I was just going, wait a second, wait a second.
01:10:18.000We talked about this, about tax codes and Americans and employers and who understands what, how many people have actually had to pay payroll tax versus, you know, social security.
01:10:24.000Okay, income tax versus corporate tax.
01:11:27.000By the way, the news channel that said that Fox News has no journalistic standards whatsoever, they don't confirm their stories before they go to air?
01:13:27.000It may not play well, but my God, this is really fun.
01:13:29.000If you're the same president with your ideas, you want to terminate my taxes, I'll tell you what, you'll lose half of the companies that have poured in here will leave, and plenty of companies that are already here, they'll leave for other places.
01:13:42.000They will leave, and you will have an impression of the likes of which you've never seen.
01:13:54.000We were able to have... I gotta say something important here.
01:13:57.000Any person who's done investing in the last three years, investing in real estate, investing in stocks, investing in the economy, has said during the entirety of the Trump presidency, yeah, no doubt the economy came back.
01:14:09.000But they've been saying every year since Trump was president, Well, it's going to go down next year.
01:14:14.000Well, it's definitely got to be next quarter.
01:14:15.000Something else that's really telling, they claim they inherited a bad economy from George Bush, but they never say, right now he hasn't said, we passed on the economy to Trump.
01:14:23.000He's saying, oh, the economy is terrible.
01:14:26.000So before COVID they tried to say, Oh, you know what?
01:14:29.000Actually, he's only doing well because of our economy, because apparently there's a lag of, hmm, give or take four years, give or take a term.
01:15:42.000You shipped jobs overseas and you increased taxes on the business owners who were employing those Americans.
01:15:48.000The guy to your right, my left, On this screen, I assume we don't have the spatial awareness of how it's going on with the Constitution written in the background that Joe Biden likely ignored.
01:15:56.000The fact is, he knows what has been going on.
01:15:59.000He has lowered taxes on American businesses and forced them to meet prerequisites if they want to have a tax break.
01:16:07.000He really hasn't had to do all that much as far as tariffs.
01:16:09.000He's just had to say, hey, listen, you are going to be rewarded if you employ more Americans who make $16 an hour or more for American auto manufacturing.
01:16:17.000You are going to make more if you bring jobs back here We're going to encourage it.
01:16:22.000And by the way, even China all of a sudden was like, you know, maybe, maybe, maybe we were wrong.
01:16:29.000I am now considering removing my pecker from your ear.
01:17:51.000Which by the way, if they're saying Donald Trump hasn't paid anything in taxes, He sure is shitty at funneling money to his own entities as President of the United States, which was the scandal they said we should believe.
01:19:06.000Vice President Biden, you say that President Trump's response to the violence in Charlottesville three years ago, when he talked about very fine people on both sides, was what directly led you...
01:19:23.000President Trump, you have often said that you believe you have done more for black Americans than any president at the possible exception of Abraham Lincoln.
01:19:34.000I want to hear this answer because that old white shark-eyed albino is a real racist.
01:19:40.000To deal with the race issues facing this country over the next four years, Vice President Biden, you go first.
01:20:13.000I'm willing to bet that if we go into a closet, we'll find a stack of white hoods like it's a returning costume like the Captain of the Incredibles.
01:23:10.000If they called us in Portland, we would put out that fire in a half an hour, but they won't do it because they're run by radical left Democrats.
01:23:18.000If you look at Chicago, if you look at any place you wanna look, Seattle, they heard we were coming in the following day and they put up their hands and we got back Seattle.
01:23:27.000Minneapolis, we got it back, Joe, because we believe in law and order, but you don't.
01:23:32.000The top 10 cities in just about the top 40 cities are run by Democrats, and in many cases, radical left.
01:23:40.000And they've got you wrapped around their finger, Joe, to a point where you don't want to say anything about law and order.
01:23:46.000And I'll tell you what, the people of this country want and demand law and order, and you're afraid to even say it.
01:23:53.000I want to return to the question of race.
01:23:56.000You said it raises the question, quote, whether justice could be equally applied in America.
01:24:00.000trying to go through the inventory in his brain for something that he couldn't find.
01:24:04.000You said it raises the question, quote, whether justice could be equally applied in America.
01:24:10.000Do you believe that there is a separate but unequal system of justice for blacks in this
01:24:16.000Look, this is what Joe Biden scalped in.
01:24:18.000Yes, there's systemic injustice in this country.
01:24:21.000In education, in work, and in law enforcement.
01:25:59.000I ended it because it's racist, I ended it because a lot of people were complaining that they were asked to do things that were absolutely insane, that it was a radical revolution that was taking place in our military, in our schools, all over the place, and you know it, and so does everybody else.
01:26:28.000And if you look at the people, we were paying people hundreds of thousands of dollars to teach very bad ideas and frankly, very sick ideas.
01:26:36.000And really, they were teaching people to hate our country.
01:26:54.000If you look at Critical Race Theory and Black Liberation Theology, if you look at what Barack Obama subscribes to with Derek Bell, if you look at these beliefs, this is the idea of implicit bias, it's you are racist if you are white, ergo, the United States is a racist country.
01:27:08.000People have to be made aware Of what other people feel like.
01:27:13.000Like you were made aware when you opposed desegregation because you didn't want your kids to grow up in a racial jungle, according to Snopes.
01:29:36.000Where these protests have gotten increasingly violent.
01:29:38.000These are under democratic rule, where they refuse to enforce law and order, and you have seen several hundred percent increase in violent crimes.
01:29:47.000Similarly, Bill Clinton tried to claim that he was the one who oversaw a reduction in crime, although he kind of had to play both sides of the fence because he tried to push the assault weapons ban, implying that there was increased crime.
01:29:56.000But violent crime went down under Bill Clinton.
01:29:57.000It is almost entirely attributable, I think it was two-thirds or at least one-third, just to Giuliani in New York City.
01:30:19.000I expect Joe Biden to unzip himself and be like, ah, it's just me, a random fat bitch!
01:30:24.000This is surprising to me, because even though he's trying to not be pinned on policies, Joe Biden, you can see his rhetoric is increasingly social justice oriented.
01:31:32.000They even show up for a 9-11 call to have someone with them as a psychologist or psychiatrist to keep them from having to use force and be able to talk people down.
01:31:41.000Yeah, one of the examples, Jacob Blake, where they showed up and the guy was chasing a cop with a knife.
01:31:45.000Can you imagine if a social worker who wanted to ask him about his relationship with his mother would have handled it?
01:32:40.000Vice President, you say that people who commit crimes should be held accountable.
01:32:46.000The question I have, though, is, as the Democratic nominee, and earlier tonight you said that you are the Democratic Party right now, have you ever called the Democratic governor of Oregon and said, Hey, you gotta stop this.
01:34:04.000You are talking about dozens of people dead.
01:34:07.000If you are a black person in the United States right now and you're living in, and let's be honest, there aren't many in Seattle, but let's talk about Chicago.
01:34:15.000Let's talk about New York and you are seeing your neighborhood destroyed.
01:34:18.000If you're one of the 80 plus percent of black Americans who support at least as much police presence as now, if not more, which by the way is reflected in every single poll, you need to see right now you have a former vice president who by the way said he didn't want to support desegregation because he didn't want his kids being raised in a Racial jungle, according to Snopes, right now is saying, hey, let your shops be burnt down.
01:35:07.000This is the exact opposite in the same sense that he doesn't understand the role of the federal government.
01:35:12.000The role of the federal government is to step in when local government cannot keep its citizens, American citizens, safe from either external threats So he's willing to step into your state and tell you which kind of healthcare you have to purchase.
01:35:27.000He's willing to step into your state and tell you which kind of a business you have to patron if you want to receive some kind of a tax break.
01:35:33.000But he is not willing to have the federal government step in under its legitimate purview into a state where American citizens are dying and the police are overrun to help you, minority American citizens.
01:36:10.000The guy on this stage we're supposed to believe is an authoritarian is the guy who, by Joe Biden's own accusations, lowered taxes, supported freedom of speech, employed more Americans, encouraged businesses, as opposed to actually just punishing or putting on tariffs, encouraged businesses to employ more Americans, encourages Americans to be able to exercise their Second Amendment rights, and is going to appoint a Supreme Court justice who will support those as well.
01:36:36.000And has stayed out of- I lost count because of this wrap on my hand.
01:36:39.000Ed has actually stayed out of these states where American citizens are dying and he would be well within his right to deploy the National Guard to some capacity of the American military in all its power until they ask for it.
01:36:51.000That's the guy who's the authoritarian?
01:37:52.000But we've rebuilt our military, the job that we've done.
01:37:55.000And I'll tell you some some people say maybe the most important.
01:37:58.000By the end of the first term, I'll have approximately 300 federal judges and court of appeals judges, 300, and hopefully three great Supreme Court judges, justices.
01:39:19.000You claimed credit when he had the best economy ever!
01:39:23.000You said that was the result of Obama, despite the fact that he never saw those unemployment rates or labor force participation rates in all eight years!
01:39:32.000You guys tried to claim credit, and now you're saying he's to blame for the recession?
01:39:35.000Okay, let's keep this in mind when the economy rebounds, and by the way, it's rebounded faster than anticipated because they were preparing for the debate with, worst case scenario, 12% unemployment going into the election.
01:41:18.000You can see screenshots right now that prove it was, the main story for this when it started, spurred it, was a weather event where he couldn't actually attend an event.
01:41:31.000Taking a steaming dump on Trump and he even said, said like, you know, yeah, I don't have, I don't really have any integrity left, but I'm gonna try and save a shred of it.
01:43:42.000Look, I gotta tell you, it's underserved how much pollution, gas, greenhouse gas emissions contributes to the global warming of this planet.
01:43:50.000I think a lot of things do, but I think to an extent, yes.
01:45:47.000I've given big incentives for electric cars.
01:45:49.000But what they've done in California is just crazy.
01:45:52.000Vice President Biden, I'd like you to respond to the President's climate change record, but I also want to ask you about a concern.
01:46:00.000You proposed $2 trillion in green jobs.
01:46:03.000You talk about new limits, not abolishing, but new limits on fracking, ending the use of fossil fuels to generate electricity by 2035, and zero net emission of greenhouse gases by 2050.
01:46:16.000The President says a lot of these things would tank the economy and cost millions of jobs.
01:46:23.000Number two, if in fact, when, during our administration, the Recovery Act, I was able to, I was in charge, able to bring down the cost of renewable energy to cheaper than or as cheap as coal and gas and oil.
01:46:37.000Nobody's going to build another coal-fired plant in America.
01:47:36.000something yeah something based with Tesla. It moved their factory from California to
01:47:41.000Texas because California is a little petri dish and Biden's policies in Texas is a little
01:47:48.000petri dish. Look at Trump. It's that simple.
01:47:53.000America leads electric and America leads electric because of the policies of Donald Trump.
01:47:58.000Elon Musk, I don't even know what he is. Is he South African? Is he Swedish? I don't know
01:48:05.000whether to ask him at a par site or have him build my furniture.
01:48:07.000...in every bit of carbon that's emitted in the United States.
01:48:10.000Instead of doing something about that, I would be gathering up and making sure we had the countries of the world coming up with $20 billion say, here's $20 billion.
01:49:06.000I'm talking about- Where they want to rip down buildings and rebuild the building.
01:49:11.000It's the dumbest, most ridiculous, where airplanes are out of business, where two car systems are out, where they want to take out the cows too.
01:49:19.000You know, that's not true either, right?
01:49:22.000This is a one hundred... That's more money than our country could make in a hundred years if we're going by the case.
01:49:30.000Let me, let me, let me... Because I actually... Wait a minute.
01:49:32.000I've never seen any presidential candidate give four specifics.
01:49:36.000And it includes upgrading four million buildings, weatherizing two million homes over four years.
01:49:42.000Building one and a half million energy efficient homes.
01:49:46.000So the question becomes, the president is saying, I think some people who support the president would say that sounds like it's going to cost a lot of money and hurt the economy.
01:49:55.000What it's going to do is it's going to create thousands and millions of jobs.
01:50:03.000The fact is it's going to create millions of good-paying jobs and these tax incentives for people to weatherize, which he wants to get rid of.
01:50:46.000Look what's happened just in the Midwest with these storms that come through and wipe out entire sections of the counties.
01:50:51.000You mean the Midwest where we have record crop yields, the most temperate climates we've ever had, and the highest Great Lake levels in a century.
01:51:01.000Which, by the way, in 2017 you said would be gone.
01:51:03.000You said that they would be gone by the year 2025.
01:51:05.000You said that you would have to have actually 20 years of heavy rainfall for the Great Lakes just to return to normal levels and instead we have record high Great Lakes.
01:52:53.000Really, the shortened version, because it's only five pages.
01:52:57.000And what are you prepared to do over the next five plus weeks, because it'll not only be to election day, but also counting some ballots, mail-in ballots after election day.
01:53:09.000What are you prepared to do to reassure the American people that the next president will be the legitimate winner of this election in this final... Well, how about you call out that guy in Texas, Joe Biden, who was one of the 137 charges brought for massive voter fraud.
01:53:24.000One of them worked for the Biden campaign, yikes.
01:53:26.000What means by which they're going to vote?
01:53:28.000His own Homeland Security director, as well as the FBI director, says there is no evidence
01:53:33.000at all that mail-in ballots are a source of being manipulated and cheating.
01:54:19.000If you're able to vote early in your state, vote early.
01:54:22.000If you're able to vote in person, vote in person.
01:54:25.000Vote whatever way is the best way for you.
01:54:28.000Because you will not stop you from being able to determine the outcome of this election.
01:54:35.000Hey, and don't forget, after this we're going to be taking some questions.
01:54:40.000I gotta tell you, the biggest questions I have, it's not necessarily who won this debate, but did you hear a single plank on any kind of platform on any issue from Joe Biden other than, I hate this guy over here?
01:55:19.000And if you look at crooked Hillary Clinton, if you look at all of the different people, there was no transition because they came after me trying to do a coup.
01:55:28.000They came after me spying on my campaign.
01:55:30.000They started from the day I won and even before I won, from the day I came down the escalator with our first lady.
01:59:11.000So what you're saying is that in a pandemic we can just go ahead, we can barely get essential services done, but we can create an entirely new system in states that have never done it, and there won't be a problem in one of the most important elections in our history?
01:59:52.000In Georgia, over 1,000 residents voted twice.
01:59:54.000In New Jersey, a judge even ruled and ordered a new election because a sitting city councilman engaged in election fraud by over 800 votes that couldn't be counted.
02:00:02.000In California, more than 100,000 ballots rejected.
02:00:05.00027,000 of them because signatures were not included or did not match, meaning fraudulent.
02:00:10.000New York, 100,000 Brooklyn voters received return envelopes with the wrong return address in Virginia.
02:00:15.000a thousand some voters who voted twice. That's not including any of the
02:00:20.000incompetence which is to the tune of millions. That's just the active
02:00:23.000outright fraud by the way in almost all scenarios on behalf of the Democratic Party.
02:00:28.0003.9 million people requested ballots and 08 did not receive them.
02:01:15.000I hope neither of you will interrupt the other.
02:01:16.000Will you urge your supporters to stay calm during this extended period, not to engage in any civil unrest, and will you pledge tonight that you will not declare victory until the election has been independently certified?
02:03:31.000For everyone who's going to be, for all our Blaze Mug Club members who are going to be here afterwards, this is the question I'm most curious to have you talk about in the chat that we can get to when we get to that live chat, is which is the question that each candidate answered worse?
02:03:46.000That you have, having heard the answers, heard the analysis, and I want you to say not just about Trump, but also Biden as well.
02:03:52.000Do both, because there are more debates to come.
02:03:54.000I'm curious to hear what we see in the chat.
02:03:56.000I'll be president for Democrats and Republicans.
02:03:58.000And this guy, I want to see an honest ballot count.
02:04:34.000I'm a big fan of the news. I'm a big fan of the news. I'm a big fan of the news. I'm a
02:04:41.000big fan of the news. I'm a big fan of the news. I'm a big fan of the news. I'm a big
02:04:48.000fan of the news. I'm a big fan of the news. I'm a big fan of the news. I'm a big fan of
02:04:54.000So if you want to see the real DNC president, the currently nominated president, you watch the VP debates.
02:05:03.000It's a little bit confusing with the rulebook, but then again, so is mail-in voting.
02:05:07.000So Stephen, I'm curious, your hot take right after having seen, you know, gone through this debate, seen that first 90 minutes.
02:05:15.000I will say this, you're a fantastic lawyer, you have a lot of good qualities, but if you use the phrase hot take again, you will be replaced with a Jew with a lot of vowels in his last name.
02:05:28.000I will say this, I don't know how well this will play with the American people because Donald Trump was being a little bit what people might expect, being a little bombastic, interrupting, but it is remarkable to me that Joe Biden has not answered in any specifics, but that's the luxury of not having any accountability as a DNC candidate.
02:05:45.000The media won't call him on not answering with specifics.
02:05:47.000The media wants to make this a popularity contest and so you will see them say Donald Trump had no No sense of decorum, but they won't really call Joe Biden to the mat for being as nonspecific as possible outside of, crazily enough, the Green New Deal.
02:06:04.000That's kind of the one thing, that tells you who's pulling the strings in the Democratic Party.
02:06:07.000It's the one sort of policy that no one would fault you for running away from.
02:06:12.000I mean, it's the thing we talked about earlier.
02:06:14.000He's got to move somewhere to the middle to find these folks who want to do a reasonable plan, and yet here he's talking about a five-page wishing well of ideas that no one can afford, that would destroy the American economy, and yet of all the things that he chose to memorize, it was that?
02:07:29.000I mean, it's insane to me that a major party candidate would come out and say they're so in favor of it when knowing that folks on both sides of the aisle know that the Green New Deal is unrealistic, it hurts working Americans, It hurts every single person talked about.
02:07:45.000Nothing is more non-discriminatory in the way that it hurts the American economy than the Green New Deal.
02:07:50.000Yeah, no, I think you're absolutely right.
02:07:52.000And ironically, it hurts black Americans more.
02:07:55.000Because again, these people don't understand when he says, look, we're going to create more charging stations.
02:08:00.000Joe Biden was saying that if you elect me, you'll have more electric car charging stations.
02:08:07.000Whereas the leading voice in all of electric vehicles, Elon Musk, moved his factory from California to Texas because they wouldn't allow him to create cars, or charging stations, and work!
02:08:22.000There really is a diametric opposition between what Joe Biden thinks and reality, and every single solution proposed by Joe Biden involves, hey, I'll take care of you, I'll create more charging stations, I'll make sure That, you know, the government ensures safety and security and healthcare and guarantees that you have access to health, whereas Donald Trump is saying, you know what, I'm going to make sure that you have choices.
02:08:49.000I'm going to make sure that your bosses have choices.
02:08:52.000I'm going to put more money back in your pocket.
02:08:54.000I'm going to make sure that Elon Musk has more money in his company and the freedom to not be shut down because of an exaggerated cough.
02:09:02.000And people will say, hold on a second, I don't want this to be fact-checked on YouTube.
02:09:06.000For people under the age of 50, it is a death rate with COVID very comparable to the flu.
02:09:13.000Certainly more so than the initially projected mortality rate of 1 to 4 to 7 percent.
02:09:19.000Two million Americans dead outside of, of course, states like New York and Michigan, where that is a death rate because they sent young sick patients into senior living facilities.
02:09:29.000What you're forgetting is that if you're in poverty in America right now, the number one concern you have is where your next charging station is going to be put in.
02:09:39.000That's how out of touch we are, right?
02:09:42.000When you have no car to charge in the first place, it's nice to see a station for the day you do get one!
02:09:47.000Well, when your Walgreens has been burned down, what are you going to do with your Model S?
02:09:52.000I gotta say that I gotta issue a correction on something I said earlier because earlier
02:09:56.000before the debate, Gerald said that he thought that it would be better for the president
02:09:59.000to go in a certain way and kind of let Joe Biden hang himself on his own speech.
02:10:05.000And I was disappointed that the president, I didn't think that the president did worse
02:10:09.000than I expected, but I was hopeful that he would allow Joe to get out there and just
02:11:18.000October 2nd, this Friday, in Lansing, Michigan, at the State Capitol.
02:11:23.000I will be there with some exclusive information and a presentation there for the many of you who are showing up regarding Governor Whitmer and the death toll of seniors and how you've been misled.
02:11:34.000So this is something, again, because We've been told, or we've been portrayed as Republicans, as conservatives, that we don't care about the most vulnerable.
02:11:40.000Actually, Governor Whitmer, it's these states, Governor Cuomo, they don't care about the most vulnerable among you.
02:11:45.000They have proactively enacted policies that have resulted in thousands of deaths.
02:11:50.000Verifiably, observably, and we'll go through those numbers, and also some calls to action for everyone there right now who's seen enough of this, who's seen enough absurd nursing home policies.
02:12:21.000Steven, can I say something about Michigan?
02:12:23.000I really gotta say something about why people need to tune in, why they need to have their friends tune in, even if they're center or center-left, is because this is a topic that you've been talking about.
02:12:31.000You're a Michigan native, you've known about these numbers, you're bringing this presentation together.
02:12:36.000Every time anyone tries to bring up the Michigan numbers about the senior deaths and how they're being covered up and the data's not being released, we get into a new news cycle and it's dissipating.
02:12:45.000You're going to bring it all together on Friday.
02:12:47.000You've been sending requests and you really care about what's going to happen.
02:12:50.000This is something that if you care about coronavirus numbers, regardless of the side you're on,
02:12:55.000you need to pay attention to what's happening on Friday.
02:12:57.000And not only that, I have relatives who work as nurses in Michigan and I have a 97-year-old
02:13:16.000By stuffing young, sick COVID patients into nursing homes.
02:13:20.000Because who would suspect the nursing home deaths?
02:13:23.000Because 25% of any deaths in any given week come from nursing homes.
02:13:27.000There's a reason that Texas, Florida have a third the death rate of states like New York.
02:13:32.000And then if you compare population size, there's a reason that Indiana, that these other states neighboring Michigan, that states with the same population density, South Carolina, Tennessee, are not even close to states like Michigan.
02:13:43.000Governor Whitmer has one leg to stand on as it relates to her status, as it relates to re-election, as it relates to this trust that the public has given to her, and that is she kept your seniors safe.
02:13:57.000I will make a definitive case as to why that is the opposite of the truth.
02:14:02.000Governor Whitmer's policies, she's been saying she wants to launch an investigation into Donald Trump for not doing enough as it relates to COVID.
02:14:18.000It's not tough to say, oh, wait a second.
02:14:20.000You vetoed a bill from Republicans that said, hey, hold on a second, let's just not send young sick patients into nursing homes.
02:14:27.000Let's just not send people into nursing homes when there's no quarantining system in effect.
02:14:31.000Let's make sure that if people are being quarantined before going into nursing homes, that they're in a separate building.
02:14:36.000You vetoed that, and you put pressure on nursing homes, on assisted living homes, on adult foster care facilities, and homes for the aged to take Young, sick COVID patients.
02:14:50.000It's not just old, sick patients who left the nursing and went to the hospital, and there was policy, like you saw in New York, where they said, you have to take these patients back.
02:14:58.000In Michigan, they said, by the way, you're going to take 21-year-old paranoid schizophrenics into your nursing homes, too, and then we're going to cover up and lie about the deaths.
02:15:07.000So it's a cause that's near and dear to my heart.
02:15:09.000It'll be entertaining, and it'll poke a finger in the chest.
02:15:12.000Now, by the way, it won't poke a finger in the chest of the governor.
