00:00:00.000 Welcome back to another episode of Stand on Guard.
00:00:06.000 I'm your host, David Creighton.
00:00:07.400 Thank you for joining me.
00:00:08.860 Breaking news today.
00:00:10.160 I know we're about an hour and a half out of it, but it's Joe Biden is stepping down.
00:00:15.080 Something I have been predicting, if you read my columns and my news stories, for at least
00:00:21.600 the last four weeks.
00:00:23.540 And when I first heard this announced on Redacted, as you know, I'm a guest there every week,
00:00:29.480 with Clayton and Natalie Morris, I said, I don't know if that's going to be possible.
00:00:35.300 I just can't see how it's going to happen.
00:00:38.060 But I looked into it.
00:00:40.560 I looked into how it is possible to bypass the primaries.
00:00:46.340 And I think it's absolutely fascinating.
00:00:48.420 So the news is out today.
00:00:50.700 I don't know if Joe Biden is even aware if he's dropping out of the race.
00:00:56.900 I don't know if Joe Biden knows he's endorsing Kamala Harris, his vice president, as the
00:01:04.140 next Democratic presidential candidate.
00:01:07.500 I don't know if Joe Biden knows it's Sunday today.
00:01:11.700 It's impossible to say.
00:01:13.880 But we're going to be discussing this here with my good friend, Mark Patron, from Saga
00:01:19.980 630.
00:01:21.540 He's on.
00:01:22.120 Of course, you usually know I'm on the, it's usually the other way around.
00:01:26.760 Mark is interviewing me on his morning show.
00:01:29.480 But I thought, what better thing to do today?
00:01:31.760 It's a Sunday.
00:01:32.940 Let's give Mark a call and see if we can bring him on.
00:01:35.980 And that's about what we're going to do here.
00:01:39.280 So, Mark, thank you for joining me.
00:01:43.780 Great to be on your terrific show, David.
00:01:45.580 And yeah, you're usually on my show, Saga 960.
00:01:50.800 And so it's only a matter of time.
00:01:52.800 And I'm more than happy to appear on your show.
00:01:55.760 We've certainly touted your terrific program on my show.
00:02:00.300 So what an honor it is to appear on yours.
00:02:02.240 Thank you.
00:02:02.940 Well, it's so nice to have you.
00:02:04.580 God bless you.
00:02:05.420 And this is, the news never stops these days, does it?
00:02:09.240 We had, you know, the assassination attempt last weekend against former President Donald
00:02:14.460 Trump, we have been waiting every day now for an announcement from Joe Biden about his
00:02:19.920 future.
00:02:21.140 He kept saying, nope, I'm in the race.
00:02:23.660 I'm in the race.
00:02:24.780 Every day we saw significant Democratic personnel, including donors, which money is the main thing
00:02:33.860 to any political party, saying, no, we're not going to go with Joe Biden.
00:02:38.480 So he announces today he's dropping it.
00:02:41.020 Are you surprised at all?
00:02:43.300 No, not really.
00:02:44.160 I mean, we've been predicting this for quite some time.
00:02:47.920 And as recently as, what, two days ago, he was still digging in his heels saying, no,
00:02:52.480 I'm in it and I'm not leaving.
00:02:54.680 And so, I mean, what happened?
00:02:56.480 I can't help but think that the failed assassination attempt had something.
00:03:01.640 I mean, can you imagine, God forbid, if that attempt had succeeded in taking out Trump?
00:03:07.880 Would Biden be leaving right now?
00:03:10.140 You know what?
00:03:10.700 Part of me thinks maybe not, because you look at the polling, hell, he's getting trounced
00:03:15.820 in places like Michigan, in Virginia, in Nevada, states that the Democrats won handily in
00:03:25.520 2020, if you believe that it was a fair election, which I don't, but just the same.
00:03:31.460 And also the donors, right?
00:03:35.100 I mean, that was the other thing, I suppose, that probably went as far as they could to
00:03:40.760 convince Joe Biden that there was no way they were going to support him and that he should
00:03:45.260 step down.
00:03:46.320 So, you know, he's had people like Obama and other key Democrats.
00:03:50.980 Joe Manchin was the most recent saying, you know, you got to go, Joe.
00:03:54.520 And I guess he finally decided, no, I've had enough.
00:03:58.520 So away he goes.
00:04:00.080 And now what?
00:04:00.780 What do we get? 0.98
00:04:01.620 We get a lame duck president in there. 0.98
00:04:03.980 You know, there are calls for him to step down immediately.
00:04:07.380 People asking a very valid question, David.
00:04:09.840 If you can't run for president, how can you be expected to serve as president?
00:04:15.260 Well, you anticipated my next question, of course, because a lot of people are comparing
00:04:21.660 this to 1968.
00:04:22.920 And there are a lot of parallels.
00:04:24.860 I wrote a column about this recently in Human Events, the parallels between 2024 and 1968.
00:04:31.840 You've got a Kennedy in the race in both instances.
00:04:35.440 But you also now have a lame duck president.
00:04:38.760 Lyndon Johnson, though, dropped out of the race following a primary defeat in New Hampshire.
00:04:45.560 And that was like March or April of the presidential year, the primary year, giving the party lots
00:04:52.800 of time to find an alternative and making it quite clear that he was not going to be the
00:04:59.440 Democratic choice in 1968.
00:05:02.980 Joe Biden has waited literally here three months, three months and a couple of weeks before the
00:05:08.500 next election, before announcing this.
00:05:11.160 Is this even feasible?
00:05:14.200 And Kamala Harris, I've got a clip I want to play in a minute here, but is Kamala Harris 0.58
00:05:19.820 a viable alternative?
00:05:22.080 According to Joe Biden, she is, which is almost hilarious because the reports of Jill Biden
00:05:29.860 and Kamala Harris being at each other's throats are legendary now. 0.99
00:05:36.340 I mean, these two people really do not like each other.
00:05:38.780 And from what I understand, the one thing that Jill Biden hated the most about the prospect
00:05:46.540 of Joe leaving is that of having Kamala Harris take over.
00:05:51.600 So clearly there's no love lost between those two.
00:05:54.020 Something must have happened in order to convince her to back off.
00:05:57.620 Or maybe he just decided, no, I've had enough.
00:06:00.920 But yeah, he's he's endorsed her.
00:06:02.860 But all the talk is of Hillary, though.
00:06:04.620 David, you heard this today.
00:06:06.940 Hillary Clinton, apparently, according to people like Colonel Douglas McGregor, is going 0.98
00:06:13.220 to be the one stepping in out of the blue and somehow finagling herself as the candidate
00:06:20.420 going forward, which would mean that we could see a repeat of 2016's matchup.
00:06:26.880 Trump versus Hillary.
00:06:27.800 Yeah, rematch of 2016.
00:06:30.500 Well, I'd say bring her on because I think she's a spent force. 1.00
00:06:34.640 And I really don't think Michelle Obama, you know, of course, has been touted as another
00:06:39.340 alternative.
00:06:40.380 I don't think Michelle Obama really wants to get into this race. 0.89
00:06:45.220 Clearly, she could have done it previously had she really wanted it.
00:06:49.440 I don't have a lot of time or respect for Michelle Obama, but I don't think she really wants 0.92
00:06:54.240 to get involved in the presidential race at this point.
00:06:56.540 Hillary Clinton.
00:06:57.340 Yeah, I can believe that for a minute.
00:06:59.120 She really believes she's destined to be the greatest president in history.
00:07:03.320 She really believes that about herself.
00:07:05.220 I don't think anybody else of sound mind believes that.
00:07:09.380 But here's a couple of clips I wanted to show our audience and you as well of the extent,
00:07:17.740 how articulate Kamala Harris has demonstrated herself to be.
00:07:23.140 And what can be and be unburdened by what has been, you know?
00:07:28.040 What can be unburdened by what has been?
00:07:31.720 What can be unburdened by what has been?
00:07:36.080 What can be unburdened by what has been.
00:07:40.080 What can be unburdened by what has been.
00:07:45.120 What we can see, what we believe can be unburdened by what has been.
00:07:49.880 What can be unburdened by what has been.
00:07:53.300 What can be unburdened by what has been.
00:07:56.480 What can be unburdened by what has been.
00:07:59.840 Who we can be unburdened by who we have been.
00:08:03.740 What can be unburdened by what has been?
00:08:07.240 Where we can be unburdened by where we have been and unburdened by where we are right now.
00:08:11.500 What can be unburdened by what has been?
00:08:14.860 What can be unburdened by what has been?
00:08:17.640 What can be unburdened by what has been?
00:08:21.020 What could be unburdened by what had been?
00:08:24.540 What can be unburdened by what has been?
00:08:28.760 So, that goes to show you she learned one talking point.
00:08:33.740 Very well. So well, as she repeats it just about everywhere she goes.
00:08:38.400 But I have listened over the years to Kamala Harris, and she presents nothing but mindless word silence in terms of her trying to enunciate any sort of policy positions.
00:08:52.040 And it was pointed out to me today that she's never had to really run a campaign by herself.
00:08:58.440 She has never really she's always been foisted in the position, whether it was when she was a prosecutor in California, whether she was a senator.
00:09:08.860 She's always been put in this position and other people have done the work for her.
00:09:14.200 And she's doing this again now. Once again, she's totally ill prepared for this.
00:09:19.300 She has no she really has no preconditions to be president. 1.00
00:09:25.040 And yet she's going to be put in the public face. And yes, this is your choice.
00:09:30.560 I feel sorry for Democrats who think their party really is Democratic.
00:09:35.800 And this is what the irony of this for me, Mark, is that the Democratic Party goes back to the 1830s with Andrew Jackson.
00:09:43.580 Listen, this really was a party that was at one time Democratic, even though the vote was not exactly applicable to everybody.
00:09:52.440 The Democratic Party at least has Democratic roots.
00:09:56.000 It's no longer even that when when they can just throw out the results of the primaries, which came in, by the way, during the early part of the progressive era in the United States,
00:10:06.940 when they can just throw those results out and say, oh, Kamala Harris is your choice. Don't you love her?
00:10:12.800 I feel sorry for Democratic voters who are saying we didn't vote for this is not our choice.
00:10:19.060 I mean, how do you think the average Democratic voter thinks about this?
00:10:22.560 Same thing that they thought about Bernie Sanders being cheated out of his right to represent the party.
00:10:28.920 I mean, they realize I think you'd have to be blind not to know that the Democrat Party decides who the leader is going to be and people can vote, you know, party members can vote whatever way they want.
00:10:41.040 It doesn't matter.
00:10:42.340 I mean, we know from the WikiLeaks documents that that Bernie was going to win, that Bernie was ahead.
00:10:49.980 But it didn't matter at the end of the day because that primary was going to be rigged in favor of Hillary Clinton. 1.00
00:10:55.340 And so now we're facing another scenario here where Kamala clearly wants it. 0.99
00:11:01.640 And as I have come to believe, Hillary Clinton also really wants it and is going to try and push her aside.
00:11:08.840 So you've got a civil war now happening in the Democrat Party.
00:11:12.780 And to your point, if they're not going to choose a leader fairly, then there has to be some other way that these two are going to duke it out.
00:11:20.020 And it's going to be decided, you know, like the old Soviet Union used to decide the next leader of their party.
00:11:26.720 Right. It certainly wasn't up to any vote by the population.
00:11:31.920 No, by the Russian people.
00:11:34.120 No, the party itself decided who was going to succeed.
00:11:38.100 You know, Stalin when he died and then Khrushchev when he left.
00:11:43.240 You know, there's an internal battle and somebody emerges victorious and they're the leader.
00:11:49.400 And that, I think, is what the Democrat Party is.
00:11:52.560 You know, it's no different than the way that the old Soviet Union used to choose their leaders.
00:11:58.480 I think the Democrat Party is doing it the same way.
00:12:01.540 It's all going to be done in the back room.
00:12:03.340 And somehow someone is going to decide who the representative is going to be and the other person is going to just have to eat it.
00:12:09.800 Well, I think I think you're dead on in that analysis, Mark.
00:12:15.480 Of course, I'm sure you watch the Republican National Convention and I watched every night.
00:12:23.000 In fact, I carried the last night live on my show because I thought this was going to be a very historic speech from Donald Trump.
00:12:29.880 But what strikes me is the difference now between the Republican Party and the Democratic Party is the Democratic Party is splintered now in probably about three ways.
00:12:40.900 Whether you want Joe Biden to stay in, you like Kamala Harris or you like the alternatives, which are what?
00:12:48.800 Hillary Clinton, Michelle Obama, Newsom from California.
00:12:53.920 It's there's nothing resembling unity.
00:12:56.480 And what impressed me about the Republican National Convention is that you had Donald Trump not only emerging from this assassination attempt with complete victory, but you had him saying, look, you don't want to join this.
00:13:12.260 You don't want to be a part of this movement.
00:13:14.220 Don't be.
00:13:15.740 But everybody came on board.
00:13:17.380 We even had Nikki Haley, which I can't stand Nikki Haley, but we had 10 minutes of Nikki Haley essentially saying, I'm for Donald Trump, too.
00:13:28.280 And I'm not going to make an issue out of it.
00:13:32.920 And you also had anybody else who had a problem with Donald Trump getting on board.
00:13:38.020 But you also had Donald Trump not for a minute saying, I am going to compromise my principles.
00:13:45.400 He was quite clear that he's still against foreign wars.
00:13:48.860 He's going to stop the U.S. getting involved in every foreign war possible.
00:13:55.280 He is a populist.
00:13:57.100 He is a president who is going to fight for average Americans.
00:14:00.840 I was so impressed to see union people there talking about the fact that, yeah, people who work for a living, not government unions, but real people who work for a living are saying, I think I like Donald Trump more than I do the Democratic Party, because the Democrats are inviting in 30, 40, what?
00:14:21.320 We don't even know how many tens of millions have illegals.
00:14:23.980 And it was a victory for Trump.
00:14:27.060 And today is a defeat for the Democrats, because they just don't know where they're going as a party.
00:14:34.100 And I think I can't think of another time the Republicans have been better placed for an election, except, and I have to say it, 40 years ago, when Ronald Reagan was seeking his second term, the U.S. was hosting the Olympic Games in Los Angeles.
00:14:53.520 Because Americans were excited about being American again, and they loved their president, unlike, who can't stand their president, and they want Donald Trump.
00:15:06.180 So I think the Republicans are so well placed right now.
00:15:10.760 This could be the biggest landslide, not just in terms of, there's two landslide votes.
00:15:17.620 I have to explain this to viewers.
00:15:18.700 Lyndon Johnson won the biggest landslide in terms of popular vote, 61.1% of the vote in 1964.
00:15:27.440 The biggest landslide in history in terms of electoral college votes was Richard Nixon in 72, four years later.
00:15:35.600 I think Donald Trump could win over 60% of the vote and perhaps capture a larger number of electoral college votes than even Richard Nixon won in 72.
00:15:46.440 I think this could be the biggest year in history for the Republicans.
00:15:50.480 And I hope they don't abuse that privilege.
00:15:58.200 They use it for the good of the country.
00:16:00.360 But I think this could be a historic year for Republicans.
00:16:03.900 I hope you're right.
00:16:05.780 I mean, I want to be as optimistic as you are.
00:16:09.040 I mean, the difference, of course, between now and when Reagan won his huge landslide was the illegals that have been pouring in thanks to cooperation between the Democrat Party and, of course, the NGOs, those who are bringing in millions of people, millions of illegals into the country.
00:16:31.620 And you know what?
00:16:32.680 Those people are going to turn into voters.
00:16:34.940 They don't even have to vote.
00:16:36.600 And the Democrat Party can harvest those votes.
00:16:39.320 What's working against them now, David, is the fact that so many black Americans, so many Hispanics are bailing on the Democratic Party. 0.70
00:16:48.500 I mean, forget all the other people that regularly punch the ticket for the Republicans.
00:16:55.180 Now you've got other people who are sick and tired of the Democrats, and they see these millions of people pouring in, giving free phones, health care, accommodations, food, and eventually the right to vote.
00:17:15.240 And they're thinking, wait a minute, we need help here.
00:17:17.960 Americans need help.
00:17:18.960 And you're throwing billions of dollars and bringing in illegals? 1.00
00:17:23.000 But that's who the Democrats are going to be relying on to be their base of support going forward.
00:17:31.000 I mean, do you think that Joe Biden really got 81 million votes last time?
00:17:36.520 They cheated that time, and they're going to cheat again.
00:17:40.280 And so Republicans need to get to the polls to override what's coming up. 0.92
00:17:46.460 It's nice to hear guys like Mark Zuckerberg talk glowingly of what a badass Donald Trump was, raising his fists the way he did after the attempted assassination last Saturday.
00:18:00.180 But, you know, is he going to withdraw his support of these ballot drop boxes that were so instrumental, if you believe in that documentary by Dinesh D'Souza, in, you know, allowing the Democrats to win, despite the fact that people didn't like Joe Biden, the fact that he ran a campaign from the basement of his residence or wherever he was.
00:18:27.440 And so this is what concerns me, OK?
00:18:31.340 The Democrats always have an ace in the hole.
00:18:34.020 They always manage to cheat.
00:18:36.120 And I suspect they're going to do the best they can to rig it again in 2024.
00:18:41.220 So if Republicans are going in there overconfident, they might be shocked to find out that they've lost again.
00:18:49.340 And I certainly hope that that doesn't happen.
00:18:51.640 I hate to sound an element of pessimism in all this.
00:18:55.360 I hope that the Republicans win.
00:18:57.820 I think that they will win.
00:18:59.740 But I have to look realistically at what the Democrats are prepared to do.
00:19:05.320 And they are literally prepared to do anything.
00:19:07.780 And I mean anything under the sun to hold on to power.
00:19:11.900 Well, I heard some statistics recently that the Democrats have to be well above the 5% corruption zone, meaning they have to have at least 5% imaginary votes to win this election in terms of the electoral votes.
00:19:30.600 I don't think they're there.
00:19:31.800 I don't think they can possibly pull this off like they did the last time.
00:19:36.100 But, you know, that's, we will see.
00:19:40.160 We will see.
00:19:41.600 But I think you're right about where the Democrats are placing their hopes.
00:19:45.620 And what I think Donald Trump, though, and this is something I've, you know, we've talked about this on your show.
00:19:50.820 Donald Trump needs to follow through on his promise to deport these millions of illegals and get them out of the country. 1.00
00:20:03.100 And don't just talk about it.
00:20:04.520 I mean, we've had Trump talk about this.
00:20:07.240 It was part of J.D. Vance's acceptance speech this week.
00:20:11.760 He talked about deporting tens of millions of illegals.
00:20:16.220 They need to do that.
00:20:17.880 They need to actually follow through on that promise, because if they don't, they're going to be, it's going to happen again.
00:20:26.400 Just like Donald Trump underestimated the deep state when he was president.
00:20:30.300 He really, I think, thought these guys were just like a bunch of criminals that he dealt with in New Jersey.
00:20:37.180 They were just a bunch of mafia types that he could, he could contain, he could control.
00:20:44.100 They didn't realize that they were that powerful.
00:20:47.880 And when they went after him, impeachment, when they went after him with judicial examination, and then after he lost the election, as you say, the highly spurious claims, when they continued to go after him.
00:21:03.400 And I think it sunk in with Donald Trump that these people are not like the contractors in New Jersey.
00:21:10.840 They're not like the people he used to deal with as a construction person, as a billionaire building billions.
00:21:18.300 He understood that it was no longer the same.
00:21:26.280 And I think that message has sunk through.
00:21:29.160 And if Assassin's Bullet hasn't done that to him, to say, hey, you know, these guys want me dead.
00:21:37.480 They just don't want me out of the race. 0.98
00:21:40.080 They want me dead.
00:21:41.760 I think the message has sunk through. 0.68
00:21:43.820 I think this is a different Donald Trump.
00:21:45.620 At the same time, the message has sunk through in terms of how important this is and how empowered his enemies are.
00:21:54.640 He's also looking back and saying, I'm humble.
00:21:59.600 I'm glad to be alive.
00:22:01.520 I'm thanking God that I'm alive.
00:22:03.540 I've never seen a more humble Donald Trump who is appealing to those Democrats and those left-leaning Republicans who've always said, well, he just seems a little too arrogant to me.
00:22:14.460 He just seems a little too full of himself.
00:22:16.720 I think Donald Trump this year is the Donald Trump for the ages.
00:22:22.120 And I was all for Donald Trump in 2016.
00:22:25.280 I was writing columns at the time for the Daily Caller.
00:22:28.360 I thought he was the answer.
00:22:29.960 I didn't like him.
00:22:31.660 I thought he was obnoxious at times.
00:22:34.860 But I said, this is what America needs.
00:22:37.120 I supported him again four years later.
00:22:40.460 And I'm supporting him now because I think there's no other alternative for America.
00:22:45.120 You need a guy with Donald Trump's moxie. 1.00
00:22:49.260 You need a guy with Donald Trump's energy to take on the deep state.
00:22:54.020 And I think he understands finally that deep state is real and it wants to kill him.
00:23:00.760 Well, absolutely.
00:23:02.180 I mean, if you go back to 2016, it was a slightly naive Donald Trump, wasn't it?
00:23:06.960 Bringing in neocons like John Bolton and Mike Pompeo into the fold and others who were undermining his presidency while on one hand appearing to be on his side.
00:23:21.660 And Trump at the time figured, well, we're all Americans.
00:23:26.460 We're all kind of on the same side.
00:23:28.700 We all want to win.
00:23:29.700 And he thought that if he strengthened the country, strengthened the economy, which he did, and stopped the endless numbers of wars coming in, that somehow all these disparate elements in the country would rally behind him.
00:23:48.800 What did we see that wasn't the case, that the people who were supposed to be on his side were among the backstabbers that did everything in their power to stop him and stop his agenda?
00:24:03.700 Why?
00:24:04.080 Because we're not all on the same side.
00:24:06.100 The reality is that there is a core of powerful Americans.
00:24:12.880 You want to call them deep staters, the permanent bureaucratic class of people who have their hands on the levers of power.
00:24:22.520 And they love war.
00:24:24.440 They want nothing more than to perpetuate the wars that are now going on, whether you're talking about Ukraine or Syria.
00:24:35.420 And, of course, we're inching towards World War III.
00:24:38.260 You know, they want nothing more than to perpetuate this on behalf of the defense contractors.
00:24:45.080 I mean, there's just so much money in killing other people and destroying humanity that these people, they're psychotics.
00:24:54.900 And I hope and I think that now, based on what he has been saying, Trump gets it.
00:25:01.520 And so now that's why they want to stop him.
00:25:04.020 And the one thing that does give me some sense of hope is that if they didn't think that Trump could win the election because they were going to cheat, then why would they try to murder him?
00:25:16.540 Why would they try to assassinate him?
00:25:18.780 Why have they tried to use lawfare to prevent him from running?
00:25:22.920 So clearly they feel that maybe Trump will get enough support to override the cheating that we fully expect the Democrats to do.
00:25:34.020 And a deep state to do.
00:25:36.040 Because, again, why try to prevent him from running?
00:25:41.180 You know, if you know that you can cheat to the point where you're going to win, well, who cares if it's Donald Trump or whatever candidate?
00:25:49.260 The Republicans are going to end up getting beaten yet again.
00:25:52.280 And so the fact that they were trying to stop him from running to the point of even having an assassin's bullet hit his ear tells me that they believe that Trump could win.
00:26:06.400 So that gives me a certain element of optimism.
00:26:11.040 But, yeah, it'll be a different Trump, I would hope.
00:26:13.000 Although you're still seeing the same crew of never-Trumpers trying to weasel their way in.
00:26:20.340 Thankfully, he picked a guy like J.D. Vance, which is pissing off the donor class and the Republicans in the establishment.
00:26:26.080 So that tells me that Trump is serious.
00:26:29.740 If he had picked a Marco Rubio or a Nikki Haley or someone like that, then it would have demoralized the MAGA people and maybe had people wondering whether or not Trump was going to go down the same road that he went in 2016.
00:26:46.320 But I don't agree with you.
00:26:47.820 This is a different Trump.
00:26:48.820 And I said the same thing, Mark. 0.97
00:26:51.300 If he had to pick, God forbid, Nikki Haley or even Marco Rubio, I would not be supporting Trump's re-election because I would say it's the same damn thing over and over again. 0.54
00:27:05.580 But I think J.D. Vance is a difference.
00:27:08.320 And I think that's so important.
00:27:10.440 I'll get you out of here on this question here, because, as you know, I have been linking Justin Trudeau with Joe Biden's future.
00:27:21.100 And we're on the verge of another.
00:27:24.760 Trudeau had a little cabinet shuffle on Friday as he got rid of Seamus or Reagan.
00:27:30.980 And he put one of his most obnoxious ministers in terms of labor.
00:27:36.720 I just, just can't, can't abide that, that minister.
00:27:42.440 He's the most partisan piece of game in the whole trunk.
00:27:47.680 But I, do you think, do you think that Justin Trudeau really thinks he can postpone his resignation and his, his oblivion by bringing Mark Carney into the cabinet, which he's surely aiming to do right now?
00:28:06.720 You obviously think it's worth a shot.
00:28:09.280 I mean, what else is he going to do?
00:28:11.200 Nothing else has worked.
00:28:12.320 And so, as we've seen in the past, as Justin Trudeau is wont to do, he's going to find people to blame for his failures.
00:28:22.940 Who's he blaming?
00:28:24.640 Chrystia Freeland.
00:28:26.580 Who's doing the dirty work, the nasty behind the scenes work of sticking the knife in and twisting it, leaking dirt to the media?
00:28:36.060 Well, it's his trusty PMO.
00:28:39.380 So, it's the Katie Telfords of the world.
00:28:42.100 It's his close team, close little, tight little cabal who are undermining Chrystia Freeland.
00:28:50.040 On one hand, kind of telling her, well, you know, the job is yours for now.
00:28:54.460 And on the other hand, trying to convince, trying to convince Mark Carney to join them and they see him as a fixer, the guy who can come in, sell the carbon tax, which is really what this is all about.
00:29:09.400 So much of the opposition to Trudeau is in opposition to this green agenda of his, which has been so economically devastating to so many Canadians.
00:29:20.820 So, you bring a guy like Carney, who's another elitist, another guy who never has to worry about going to the grocery store and, you know, spending more than he has on, you know, tomatoes or, you know, fish or something else to feed his family.
00:29:38.280 You know, Mark Carney doesn't have to worry about that.
00:29:41.180 None of those people around Trudeau have to worry about that.
00:29:45.580 But they need a guy who can put a fresh coat of paint on that government.
00:29:50.000 And I guess they see him as that person.
00:29:52.520 Now, whether or not he wants to do it, well, that's another matter altogether.
00:29:56.680 But it tells you a lot about these people, that they're trying to blame Chrystia Freeland, who, by the way, I am no fan of.
00:30:05.540 I don't care.
00:30:06.720 I mean, good.
00:30:07.300 You know, to me, she deserves it.
00:30:10.140 But, you know, stick it to her.
00:30:12.780 Try to bring in Carney and somehow hope that that is the magic elixir that elevates Justin Trudeau to victory once again.
00:30:21.760 I don't think it'll work, but he's certainly going to give it a shot.
00:30:25.140 But, you know, once again, it's Justin Trudeau, the feminist prime minister, sticking it to his senior, the senior female cabinet minister.
00:30:37.700 Just like he did to his attorney general.
00:30:42.320 Yes, and I felt bad for her because I thought this is a cabinet minister with some principles because she was standing up to Trudeau and saying there's something wrong here.
00:30:53.760 And Trudeau threw her under the bus.
00:30:56.680 And just like he's going to do the Freeland, except Freeland, Freeland thought, oh, there's no problem here.
00:31:04.620 He's going to support me forever.
00:31:06.300 And Justin Trudeau supports nobody but himself. 0.81
00:31:10.420 He is the most narcissistic, most incredibly self-absorbed leader, I think, since, shall we say, Joseph Stalin? 0.76
00:31:22.520 Yeah. 0.97
00:31:23.460 Nobody else matters.
00:31:25.140 Stalin was a lot smarter and a lot more ruthless, was Joseph Stalin. 0.87
00:31:31.860 Well, I think Justin Trudeau's days are numbered here, but we will see what happens, because I think as Joe Biden goes, I've been saying this for the last four weeks now, as Joe Biden goes, I think Justin Trudeau goes, and I think his days are numbered.
00:31:48.740 As liberals read the wallpaper, as they understand it's over, that they cannot continue to do this to us.
00:31:59.520 So, anyway, thank you so much for joining me, Mark.
00:32:03.200 This has been fascinating.
00:32:05.060 And this is a very historic day in American and U.S. and world history, because this is the only time a U.S. president has ever resigned or at least dropped out of the race at the end of the primary system.
00:32:22.300 This is totally unique.
00:32:23.800 Never happened before.
00:32:24.760 And I think this is indicative of the Democratic desire to destroy democracy.
00:32:34.000 So, I just, you know, thank you so much for your conversation here today.
00:32:38.740 It's always fascinating.
00:32:41.380 And I think you have elucidated this audience to a degree that you're not even aware.
00:32:51.400 Thank you so much, Mark.
00:32:52.540 Well, David, it's been an absolute blast being on the show with you.
00:32:57.440 Thank you so much for inviting me.
00:32:58.920 You've got a terrific program there with Stand On Guard.
00:33:02.400 I think you've got a growing audience.
00:33:04.860 You've got a very intelligent audience that expects the best and gets the best out of you every single time.
00:33:11.300 So, God bless you, and hopefully we'll get a chance to do it again soon.
00:33:16.080 Cheers, brother.
00:33:16.600 Okay, and I'll be on your show next week.
00:33:19.100 You better believe it.
00:33:20.660 Thank you, sir.
00:33:21.520 Maybe Wednesday.
00:33:22.160 Okay.
00:33:22.920 Okay, we love you.
00:33:24.240 Love you too, my friend.
00:33:25.360 Bye-bye.
00:33:26.260 Bye-bye.
00:33:26.840 Okay.
