We hope you're enjoying your Air Canada flight.
00:00:10.720
Fast-free Wi-Fi means I can make dinner reservations before we land.
00:00:25.260
Wi-Fi available to Airplane members on Equipped Flight.
00:00:30.000
As the global hegemon, you know, the leader of the free world,
00:00:41.920
it would be nice if someone actually knew who was in charge of the United States government.
00:00:46.900
The Constitution is very clear on how power is supposed to be distributed,
00:00:51.740
but conservative voters who have watched the press and Deep State work in tandem to capsize Donald Trump's presidency
00:00:58.440
are slowly coming to the realization that all is not as it seems.
00:01:03.880
On Sunday afternoon, Joe Biden was unceremoniously placed on the curb like a bag of garbage,
00:01:10.100
discarded with a simple social media post by the regime that had propped him up for four years.
00:01:16.120
He's still allowed to retain the formal title of president for the moment,
00:01:19.960
but it's clear that the ruling class is exchanged to the geriatric party man in favor of a new puppet.
00:01:27.500
In failing regimes, the line of succession always becomes an issue of great intrigue.
00:01:33.060
When factions inside the ruling class are squabbling for control,
00:01:37.020
it's best to make sure that your choice for the office has a clear path to power before making any moves.
00:01:42.420
Any gap in continuity can lead to serious questions about legitimacy,
00:01:48.160
so it's best to present the ascension of the next leader as a fate of complete.
00:01:53.020
In the late Roman Empire, if a faction planned on assassinating the current ruler,
00:01:57.760
it was critical to have a replacement presented immediately to the Praetorian Guard for approval
00:02:02.960
and installed on the throne before anyone had time to ask questions or rally their own supporters.
00:02:08.960
Joe Biden has been mentally unfit from the very beginning of his presidency.
00:02:15.560
The press was already joking about the former vice president's mental capacity in 2020,
00:02:20.840
and it was very clear as Biden campaigned from his basement during the pandemic
00:02:24.920
that his sole duty was to be as inoffensive as possible until Trump was defeated.
00:02:30.300
When does fast grocery delivery through Instacart matter most?
00:02:33.960
When your famous grainy mustard potato salad isn't so famous without the grainy mustard.
00:02:38.360
When the barbecue's lit, but there's nothing to grill.
00:02:41.500
When the in-laws decide that, actually, they will stay for dinner.
00:02:45.220

The senator from Delaware had a pretty unimpressive list of accomplishments
00:03:05.240
and a few failed presidential runs to his name.
00:03:11.280
and his job in office was to act as a puppet for those who would truly run the White House.
00:03:17.480
Kamala Harris, whose major accomplishments are being black and female,
00:03:24.620
Biden originally described himself as a transitional president,
00:03:28.220
presumably grooming the DEI-approved vice president as his successor.
00:03:32.240
The image of the old white man of Democratic Party past,
00:03:37.320
handing the torch to a young, diverse woman
0.98
00:03:39.780
who was ready to lead the progressive movement into a new era.
00:03:47.200
confirming what everyone in California already knew.
00:03:50.240
She was an embarrassing joke who had been advanced solely on her ability
00:03:53.800
to check the diversity boxes and please the right people.
00:03:57.020
Hey guys, let me tell you about today's sponsor, Job Stacking.
00:04:01.360
More paychecks, less hustle, working from home.
00:04:05.900
If you're a remote or hybrid worker looking to maximize your earning potential,
00:04:09.460
then consider joining the Job Stacking Mentorship Program.
00:04:12.180
The program is designed by Ralph Halza, the creator of Job Stacking,
00:04:15.520
to help you successfully implement a strategy that will allow you to collect multiple paychecks
00:04:19.540
from different jobs without burning out or getting caught by employers.
00:04:23.260
Job Stacking has already helped many people double or even triple their incomes.
00:04:27.900
Luke Hill, a financial analyst living in the UK,
00:04:30.280
has used Job Stacking to stack three different jobs
00:04:32.720
and went from making $5K a month to $15K a month.
00:04:35.780
But Job Stacking isn't just about increasing incomes.
00:04:38.720
It's also about helping our guys gain more independence
00:04:41.400
by no longer being a slave to debt or a single employer who hates their values.
00:04:46.420
Andrew Gustafson, a credit analyst from Australia,
00:04:49.020
is now stacking four salaries, which he has used to pay off his personal and student debt
00:04:56.280
If you don't currently have a remote job, no worries.
00:04:59.080
The program is also designed to help you land remote jobs
00:05:04.240
So if you want to double your income and stop relying on a single paycheck
00:05:21.460
Biden shocked many by announcing that he would seek re-election.
00:05:26.880
Maybe his family got addicted to power and protection.
00:05:29.800
Maybe he believed Harris was just too embarrassing to take the reins.
00:05:37.880
and the progressive establishment begrudgingly followed,
00:05:41.200
assuming that it would be more trouble than it was worth to unseat their puppet.
00:05:49.520
and the media shredded whatever remained of their credibility
00:05:52.480
by pretending that this 81-year-old was still up to the task.
00:06:06.500
and the left-wing press ran almost daily stories
00:06:09.020
about how the president was withdrawing from the race,
00:06:14.340
The Democratic donor class became increasingly vocal with their disapproval,
00:06:21.840
until a more viable candidate could be put forward.
00:06:24.880
Despite facing the pressure of the entire progressive machine,
00:06:28.460
Biden continued to insist that he would remain the party's candidate.
00:06:32.020
The failed assassination of Donald Trump created a nightmare for the left.
00:06:49.580
The sitting president suddenly disappeared from view a few days later
00:06:55.640
And despite the fact that Biden had campaign surrogates
00:06:58.080
making the rounds on the Sunday morning talk shows
00:07:09.300
It's very obvious that Joe Biden had no intention of leaving the race.
00:07:14.280
And it's also very clear that this concession was made under duress.
00:07:21.700
who had supposedly won the most votes in American history,
00:07:28.600
where he was surrounded by supporters singing his praises
00:07:46.220
it was necessary to capture government buildings
00:08:01.520
With the announcement now firmly in digital hand,
