The Ben Shapiro Show - Biden Craps The Bed | Ep. 1416

00:00:00.000 In his first press conference in months, Joe Biden celebrates his successes, questions election integrity, and gives the green light to Vladimir Putin to invade Ukraine.

00:01:29.000 Okay, so Joe Biden is absolutely flailing.

00:01:32.000 We had a poll last week, Quinnipiac, suggesting that his approval rating was down at 33%.

00:01:37.000 Well, now we have a second poll from Civics suggesting that his approval rating is at 34%.

00:01:41.000 This makes two straight polls in which Joe Biden is in the low 30s.

00:01:45.000 These are abysmal numbers if you are the president of the United States.

00:01:48.000 And this follows hard on a Morning Consult Politico poll That shows that only 11% of Americans after one year give Joe Biden an A grade as president of the United States, and only another 20% give him a B. Which means that 69% of Americans say that Joe Biden is a C or below president, including 37% of Americans who say that he's got an F.

00:02:09.000 So this guy is a fail. 0.96

00:02:11.000 He is a giant fail. 0.93

00:02:12.000 And as we discussed yesterday, he's failing on every front.

00:02:15.000 Well, the Biden administration, because they have no capacity to shift gears, they are not Clintonian.

00:02:20.000 Joe Biden is not Bill Clinton.

00:02:22.000 He's not a talented politician like Barack Obama.

00:02:24.000 He's nothing. 0.99

00:02:25.000 He's a big nothing burger of a human. 0.98

00:02:27.000 And he's been a nothing burger of a human since he entered the Senate and was quickly seen to be a bloviating bag of plagiarism. 0.69

00:02:33.000 Ever since then, the President of the United States has had a really tough time shifting gears.

00:02:36.000 He is not somebody who shifts and moves quickly.

00:02:39.000 He is somebody who sort of bobs atop the eddies of political life.

00:02:43.000 He's not a leader.

00:02:44.000 He's not somebody who is going to forcibly move forward his agenda.

00:02:49.000 He is just a guy who happens to be kind of dead center of where the Democratic Party is at any given point.

00:02:55.000 And that means that he does not have the capacity to change course.

00:02:58.000 He cannot do it.

00:02:59.000 And so when his administration basically said, you know what, we've got a comms problem here.

00:03:03.000 And this was the story over the last few days.

00:03:05.000 We need to shift comms, right?

00:03:06.000 Whenever a politician says, and when they start leaking stories to the press about how they are going to shift communication strategy, you know that this politician is a failure.

00:03:14.000 When they say they're going to shift political strategy, you know that the politician might actually be capable of changing.

00:03:20.000 But when they're refusing to change any of their political strategies, they're just going to shift how they talk to people.

00:03:25.000 Because politicians are what they are.

00:03:25.000 Forget it.

00:03:28.000 I have yet to see a politician who's capable of really shifting what they are.

00:03:32.000 Well, what made Bill Clinton very effective is that Bill Clinton was incredibly malleable as a politician.

00:03:39.000 One day he could be conservative.

00:03:40.000 One day he could be far left.

00:03:43.000 But his mannerisms were not particularly malleable, right?

00:03:45.000 He just had broad range.

00:03:46.000 As an actor, Bill Clinton had broad range, right?

00:03:48.000 Sometimes he was crying in front of camera denying things, and the next day he was crying apologizing for the same things.

00:03:53.000 Sometimes he was doing jovial Bill Clinton.

00:03:55.000 Sometimes he was doing sad and empathetic Bill Clinton.

00:03:56.000 He had a lot of range.

00:03:58.000 Barack Obama didn't have a lot of range, but he had a lot of charisma.

00:04:00.000 Joe Biden has neither range nor charisma.

00:04:02.000 And so when his team says, we need to get you out in front of the cameras more, the first reaction for anyone smart inside the White House should have been, no, we don't.

00:04:11.000 No, we don't.

00:04:11.000 This guy became president literally because he did not get in front of cameras.

00:04:15.000 It is amazing how many politicians think they are popular because people like them, as opposed to being popular because people hate their opponents.

00:04:21.000 Politics is oppositional by nature, and people do not love Joe Biden.

00:04:25.000 And they certainly don't love him after what he did in Afghanistan, which is when his polls really tanked.

00:04:29.000 OK, so yesterday, Joe Biden decides, I need to save this presidency.

00:04:32.000 It's time to save the presidency.

00:04:34.000 I'm going to do a press conference.

00:04:36.000 At this point, Jen Psaki started drinking heavily.

00:04:39.000 Jen Psaki picked the wrong week to stop sniffing glue, man. 1.00

00:04:41.000 So Joe Biden decides he's going to hold his first presser in months.

00:04:44.000 And for all of those wondering why Joe Biden doesn't do press conferences, this would be the reason.

00:04:49.000 The man went on for two long, interminable hours.

00:04:53.000 He started babbling nonsensically.

00:04:55.000 He started stepping all over his own you-know-what.

00:04:57.000 He is not capable.

00:05:00.000 This is not a capable, competent, coherent president.

00:05:02.000 He is not.

00:05:03.000 So this whole thing opens with him being asked by Zeke Miller from the Associated Press about whether he over-promised when he entered office because he said he was going to shut down the virus and he was going to create a booming economy, he was going to bring world peace, all the rest of it.

00:05:16.000 And Joe Biden's answer was, of course, defensive because Joe Biden is a defensive, nasty person.

00:05:21.000 This has been true in the Senate forever.

00:05:23.000 It was true on the campaign trail.

00:05:25.000 He literally said on the campaign trail to a detractor, a Bernie Sanders fan detractor, he literally said, look fat.

00:05:31.000 To the guy.

00:05:31.000 I mean, that's who Joe Biden is.

00:05:33.000 So he does that with a reporter here.

00:05:35.000 Did you overpromise to the American public what you could achieve in your first year in office?

00:05:40.000 And how do you plan to course correct going forward?

00:05:42.000 Why are you such an optimist?

00:05:44.000 Look, I didn't overpromise, but I have probably outperformed what anybody thought would happen.

00:05:52.000 The fact of the matter is that we're in a situation where We have made enormous progress.

00:06:03.000 He said he's outperformed expectations.

00:06:05.000 Unless those expectations were that he would have a 0% approval rating, he's not outperformed expectations.

00:06:10.000 This is a person whose delta between high approval rating and low approval rating is about 16%.

00:06:14.000 Going from about 50, 54, more than that, almost 20%.

00:06:18.000 He's down from about 54 all the way down to low 30s according to some of these polls.

00:06:23.000 That's a huge delta.

00:06:25.000 So no.

00:06:26.000 And one of the reasons is because he's absolutely incoherent.

00:06:29.000 So yesterday, I mean, it's hard to watch these press conferences with Joe Biden because you do feel in real time that you may be watching the last Joe Biden press conference.

00:06:38.000 You feel like he might actually physically keel over.

00:06:40.000 His brain just stops functioning in the middle of these in the middle of these exchanges.

00:06:46.000 It's incredible.

00:06:48.000 He's just incoherent.

00:06:51.000 So here is Joe Biden rambling and then going silent talking about the voters.

00:06:57.000 The voter who is just trying to figure out, as I said, how to take care of their family, put three squares on the table, stay safe, be able to pay their mortgage or their rent, etc., has is becoming much more informed on the

00:07:23.000 motives of some of the political players and the political parties.

00:07:36.000 It's all fine.

00:07:37.000 This is finddog.gif.

00:07:40.000 Dog in fiery room.

00:07:42.000 You know, I used to live in Boston for three years when I was in law school.

00:07:46.000 And being from a very warm climb, I was not used to the icy conditions.

00:07:51.000 And so I remember one time I went over to the local kosher grocery store to pick up some food. 0.98

00:07:56.000 And like an idiot, I parked on the ice. 0.99

00:07:58.000 I didn't know anything. 1.00

00:07:59.000 So I parked on the ice.

00:08:00.000 So I get back in the car.

00:08:01.000 And I start trying to gun the engine to, you know, actually move the car and the car's going nowhere.

00:08:06.000 The wheels are just spinning and spinning and spinning and spinning.

00:08:10.000 That is Joe Biden's brain right now.

00:08:12.000 It's just spinning and it's going nowhere.

00:08:13.000 There is no traction there.

00:08:15.000 He is not with us.

00:08:16.000 This is a president who is not with us.

00:08:18.000 And so he's asked, you know, some people question your mental fitness.

00:08:21.000 He's like, come on, man.

00:08:27.000 Why do you suppose such large segments of the American electorate have come to harbor such profound concerns about your cognitive fitness?

00:08:38.000 Thank you.

00:08:39.000 I have no idea.

00:08:42.000 Yeah, I'm sure he doesn't.

00:08:43.000 I am sure he doesn't.

00:08:44.000 The good news about a press conference this bad for Joe Biden is that he doesn't remember it even now.

00:08:48.000 Within five minutes, it was gone from his brain.

00:08:51.000 And also, I mean, again, I can just show you clip after clip from this press conference, just play them over and over of Joe Biden completely falling apart.

00:08:58.000 There's a point where he said he's going to ask a rhetorical question. No, he won't.

00:09:02.000 By the way, his dead giveaway in terms of body language is him clutching his portfolio. He's got this portfolio that usually sits on the desk. He starts clutching it defensively almost as bizarre.

00:09:13.000 I don't think there's been much on any incoming president's plate that's been a bigger menu than the plate I had given to me.

00:09:22.000 I'm not complaining.

00:09:23.000 Knew that running in.

00:09:25.000 And the fact of the matter is we got an awful lot done.

00:09:28.000 An awful lot done.

00:09:31.000 And there's more to get done.

00:09:32.000 But look, let's... Let me ask a rhetorical question.

00:09:39.000 No, I won't.

00:09:39.000 Anyway.

00:09:42.000 What is going on?

00:09:43.000 Thank you.

00:09:44.000 What is going on?

00:09:45.000 And then just kind of clutching his portfolio, that what is happening?

00:09:48.000 What's happening?

00:09:49.000 Then he's asked about the polls and the question, who said it?

00:09:52.000 Donald Trump or Joe Biden?

00:09:54.000 Fake news, fake polls.

00:09:56.000 It was really bad when Trump said it, right?

00:09:57.000 Trump wasn't allowed to do polls, but Joe Biden does it all the time.

00:09:59.000 Here we go.

00:10:01.000 How do you plan to win back moderates and independents who cast a ballot for you in 2020, but polls indicate aren't happy with the way you're doing your job now?

00:10:10.000 I don't believe the polls.

00:10:11.000 Oh, he doesn't believe the polls.

00:10:12.000 So I guess they don't exist anymore.

00:10:15.000 He's not casting aspersions to the press.

00:10:16.000 He just doesn't believe the polls.

00:10:18.000 And good news for Democrats. 0.97

00:10:19.000 This geriatric dotard is going to be heavily involved in the midterms, he says. 1.00

00:10:24.000 Congratulations to all you Democrats in Purple District. 0.95

00:10:28.000 And I hope that you have a nice lobbying job lined up because, man, it ain't gonna go great.

00:10:33.000 I'm going to be deeply involved in these off-year elections.

00:10:38.000 We're going to be raising a lot of money.

00:10:40.000 We're going to be out there making sure that we're helping all of those candidates, and Scoresome already asked me to come in and campaign with them, to go out and make the case in plain, simple language as to what it is we've done, what we want to do, and why we think it's important.

00:10:57.000 For all those battleground Congress people and Senators, it's time to break out that sad trombone from The Price is Right because Joe Biden jetsetting into your territory is probably your worst nightmare.

00:11:12.000 You're running a competitive race and here comes an incoherent, He just he's got nothing and that guy's going to jet in and he's going to fix your race.

00:11:21.000 Good luck with that.

00:11:23.000 On topic on topic after topic yesterday, Joe Biden just crapped the bed.

00:11:27.000 I mean, he just made a mess.

00:11:28.000 And Jen Psaki, who is the night nurse of the White House, she had to try and fix some of these things. 1.00

00:11:31.000 But again, Jen Psaki picked the wrong week to stop doing math. 1.00

00:11:35.000 This is this is not the right week for that.

00:12:41.000 Okay.

00:12:42.000 Then Joe Biden got into the topics.

00:12:44.000 And on topic after topic, he was just a disaster area.

00:12:47.000 So, the economy right now is flaming out.

00:12:50.000 It is stagnating.

00:12:51.000 Yesterday, the Nasdaq fell more than 1% entering correction territory, according to the Wall Street Journal.

00:12:57.000 It shed 166.64 points, or 1.1%.

00:12:59.000 It finished the day 10% below its all-time closing high set back in November.

00:13:04.000 A decline of greater than 10% is considered a correction for a stock index, right?

00:13:07.000 It's not a temporary decline, it's now a correction.

00:13:10.000 Wednesday's trading activity continued a tumultuous stretch for major indices, with stocks pairing their earlier gains and closing near session lows.

00:13:17.000 In the first week of January, many investors have started dumping shares of tech companies and piling into other corners of the market in anticipation of rising interest rates.

00:13:25.000 And of course, the Fed has been talking about tapering and increasing the interest rates because of the inflation that they helped create last year and that Joe Biden's fiscal and monetary policy have generated.

00:13:34.000 So Joe Biden was asked some questions about the economy at this particular press conference.

00:13:38.000 He said he is not going to scale back any of his big spending plans.

00:13:41.000 Man, this guy, Thelma and Louise, it's not just Thelma and Louise headed for the cliff.

00:13:47.000 It's the end of the movie already.

00:13:47.000 They're off the cliff.

00:13:49.000 See, the thing about Thelma and Louise, the end of that movie, is that if that movie goes on for another 32 seconds, it gets extremely grisly.

00:13:57.000 OK, and the Biden administration is the 32 seconds of Thelma and Louise that was never put on film.

00:14:04.000 You are only guaranteed control of Washington for one more year before the midterms.

00:14:08.000 Do you need to be more realistic and scale down these priorities in order to get something passed?

00:14:15.000 No.

00:14:16.000 I don't think so.

00:14:17.000 When you say more realistic, I think it's extremely realistic to say to people, because let me back up.

00:14:24.000 Let me back up.

00:14:25.000 Yeah, you gotta back up, dude, because you ain't got nothing.

00:14:27.000 As we'll talk about in a little while, all of his plans are dead.

00:14:30.000 This presidency is effectively over.

00:14:32.000 He loses Congress in 2022.

00:14:33.000 He doesn't have control of Congress now.

00:14:36.000 He got done what he's gonna get done.

00:14:37.000 Namely, the infrastructure bill.

00:14:39.000 Those are all the things he got done.

00:14:39.000 That's it.

00:14:41.000 He got done his crappy bailout plan, his $1.9 trillion boondoggle spending plan, on purely partisan lines. 0.68

00:14:47.000 He got that done.

00:14:49.000 And then he got done through reconciliation.

00:14:51.000 And then he got done The inflation has everything to do with the supply chain.

00:14:54.000 So the two things he got done, he got nothing else done.

00:14:56.000 Oh yeah, also he surrendered in Afghanistan, created a 40 year high in inflation and completely tanked the supply chain.

00:15:02.000 So a few things, a few things.

00:15:04.000 Here is Joe Biden trying to explain about the inflation.

00:15:06.000 It's not his fault, it's everybody else's fault, of course.

00:15:09.000 The inflation has everything to do with the supply chain.

00:15:12.000 And I think what you're seeing is that we've been able to make progress on speeding up the access to materials.

00:15:26.000 For example, one third of the increase in cost of living is the cost of automobiles.

00:15:34.000 The reason automobiles have skyrocketed in price is because of the lack of computer chips.

00:15:39.000 Okay, dude, your monetary and fiscal policy have generated this inflation.

00:15:44.000 Yes, we have a supply chain problem.

00:15:46.000 That supply chain problem has been wildly exacerbated by all of your policies.

00:15:50.000 You've created labor shortages.

00:15:51.000 You can't talk to a business person in America right now who's not experiencing labor shortages.

00:15:56.000 The prices on fundamental goods have risen exorbitantly.

00:15:59.000 If you're running a restaurant right now, you're paying like twice what you were a year ago for goods that you need in order to generate the food for your restaurant.

00:16:07.000 That is Joe Biden's fault.

00:16:08.000 He's got no ability to hem that in.

00:16:10.000 This is why he has to rely on the Federal Reserve to hem it in.

00:16:13.000 And he says he's not going to scale anything down.

00:16:14.000 I mean, it's amazing.

00:16:15.000 I'm not going to scale back any of my spending plans.

00:16:17.000 Also, inflation isn't my fault.

00:16:19.000 OK, and then there's COVID.

00:16:20.000 So remember, this president came into office saying that he was going to destroy COVID.

00:16:25.000 No.

00:16:26.000 No, it's just getting worse and worse from this administration.

00:16:28.000 And this is the amazing thing, folks.

00:16:30.000 We now have the data.

00:16:31.000 The data are absolutely clear.

00:16:33.000 If you have had COVID already, you are really, really safe from COVID when you get it again.

00:16:38.000 You're not getting hospitalized, you ain't dying.

00:16:40.000 That is the data.

00:16:40.000 The New York Times reported it today.

00:16:43.000 If you are a person who is reinfected with COVID after having had Alpha, you got Delta, Your rate of hospitalization was 0.3%.

00:16:51.000 If you're a person vaccinated and you got Delta, your rate of hospitalization was 0.7% according to the New York Times.

00:16:58.000 Which means that Omicron, which is hitting every single human, including people who are triple vaxxed.

00:17:03.000 I know people who are triple vaxxed who have gotten Omicron.

00:17:07.000 Those people are now extremely safe.

00:17:09.000 In fact, they're pretty safe after the vax.

00:17:11.000 And yet Joe Biden simply can't stop this.

00:17:13.000 He can't.

00:17:13.000 He has to continue because he lets the paranoid loonies in his party run everything.

00:17:19.000 And it has become an absolute mental condition. 0.95

00:17:22.000 This is a mental condition for people.

00:17:24.000 People who are running around paranoid about COVID, after having been vaxxed, with Omicron being the dominant strain, which is killing something like 90% fewer people, according to Kaiser Permanente, than Delta.

00:17:38.000 If you're still a person running around in a state of wild paranoia, you have a problem and you need to think about that problem.

00:17:47.000 Joe Biden has a problem because those are the people running his administration.

00:17:50.000 So here he is saying that he's not just going to, you know, allow us all to go back to regular life.

00:17:55.000 No, we can't do that because COVID won't let us do it.

00:17:58.000 The COVID-19 is not going to give up and accept things.

00:18:02.000 You know, it's just it's not going to go away immediately.

00:18:06.000 But I'm not going to give up and accept things as they are now.

00:18:10.000 Some people may call what's happening now the new normal.

00:18:14.000 I call it a job not yet finished.

00:18:17.000 Okay, then whose fault is that?

00:18:18.000 It will get better.

00:18:20.000 We're moving toward a time when COVID-19 won't disrupt our daily lives.

00:18:25.000 Okay, down here in Florida, let me tell you a story, Joe.

00:18:28.000 Down here in Florida, it ain't been disrupting our daily lives for like a year.

00:18:32.000 We're all back to normal.

00:18:33.000 We've been back to normal for quite a while.

00:18:34.000 And I will say it is unbelievable.

00:18:36.000 I was talking to a friend from California, and this friend tends to be a little bit more on the paranoid side.

00:18:41.000 And people who have been spending this entire pandemic in California, New York, and New Jersey, Connecticut, any place that's very locked down, those people have such a different view of the world than people who have been living in free states.

00:18:54.000 But Joe Biden is governed by New York and New Jersey and California, so he can't let it go.

00:18:57.000 He just can't.

00:18:59.000 He just has to downplay things also.

00:19:01.000 Like the bad effects of his own policies.

00:19:02.000 So, he's asked about schools closing because there are certain schools that are re-closing.

00:19:06.000 There's not a single school in America that should be closed because of Omicron.

00:19:10.000 Not one.

00:19:11.000 Not a single one.

00:19:13.000 Number one, if people get Omicron, they're going to be fine.

00:19:16.000 As a general rule, you are going to be fine if you get Omicron.

00:19:18.000 If you're vaxxed, you're certainly going to be fine.

00:19:19.000 If you had a prior infection, you're almost certainly going to be fine.

00:19:22.000 This is just the way this works.

00:19:25.000 And yet, Joe Biden is saying that, you know, if schools shut, it's not that big a deal because there aren't that many.

00:19:29.000 Why are you shutting schools at all?

00:19:32.000 Children have not been dying in large numbers from this pandemic the entire time.

00:19:37.000 That is particularly true of Omicron.

00:19:39.000 I know because all three of my kids got it in the last two weeks.

00:19:42.000 They're all fine.

00:19:44.000 It's extraordinarily transmissible and it is very not deadly. 1.00

00:19:47.000 And shutting down schools is idiotic. 0.99

00:19:49.000 But here's Joe Biden downplaying this. 1.00

00:19:51.000 Here we go.

00:19:53.000 What can your administration do to help make up for learning loss for students?

00:19:57.000 First of all, I put in perspective the question you asked.

00:20:01.000 Very few schools are closing.

00:20:04.000 95% are still open.

00:20:08.000 So you all phrase the questions when people... I don't think it's deliberate on your part.

00:20:12.000 But your phrase, the question of anybody watching this on television, my God, there must be, all those schools must be closing.

00:20:18.000 What are we going to do?

00:20:19.000 95% are still open.

00:20:23.000 Man, when he does the creepy serial killer whisper into the microphone, it is not a good look.

00:20:28.000 Geriatric, man.

00:20:30.000 95% are still open.

00:20:33.000 Come into the sewer, I have a red balloon.

00:20:35.000 Reporter.

00:20:36.000 Yes.

00:20:39.000 So, a quick note here.

00:20:41.000 There are about 99,000 public schools in the United States.

00:20:43.000 About 99,000.

00:20:44.000 And a lot more, including private schools.

00:20:46.000 Let's say 5% are shut down.

00:20:48.000 That's like 5,000, 6,000 schools.

00:20:51.000 That's tens of thousands of students who can't go to class.

00:20:54.000 And even the ones who are going to class right now are going to class masked.

00:20:58.000 They're going to class masked.

00:20:59.000 They can't understand their teachers.

00:21:01.000 They can't interact with other children the way that normal children are supposed to interact.

00:21:05.000 They're crippling an entire generation.

00:21:08.000 Based on nothing. 0.99

00:21:08.000 Based on garbage data. 0.99

00:21:10.000 The people who are still insisting on masking kids are operating on the basis of zero data. 0.89

00:21:14.000 Zero.

00:21:15.000 They cannot provide any evidence.

00:21:17.000 By the way, this is why the UK never masked kids under the age of 12.

00:21:20.000 And now the UK has just announced they're not masking anybody.

00:21:22.000 All the masking rules in the UK are over.

00:21:24.000 All the work rules in the UK are over.

00:21:26.000 You have an incoherent babbling man.

00:21:28.000 Who says that the economy is fine and he wants to spend more money and also that he's not going to leave you alone about COVID.

00:21:34.000 That was the least controversial segment of what he had to say yesterday.

00:21:37.000 We'll get to the most controversial stuff that he said at this presser yesterday because this guy, man, he's going to tank his, there will be people not yet born who don't like Joe Biden.

00:21:46.000 I mean, we are talking about generational lows in terms of presidential approval rating from a guy who entered office with a 56% approval rating, 54%.

00:21:52.000 It's amazing.

00:21:54.000 First, let's talk about the fact that this should be a good year for a lot of businesses because we should be in a normal economic recovery.

00:22:00.000 Actually, the greatest economic recovery from an artificially induced economic coma in American history.

00:22:05.000 But some industries are projected to grow even more than normal.

00:22:09.000 It includes like pet services, fitness, for example, home improvement.

00:22:13.000 If you work for or own a business in one of these growing industries, or a wide range of other industries, you probably need to hire ASAP.

00:22:19.000 I've talked to so many business owners who need to hire and they're having a problem finding people.

00:22:22.000 Well, there's only one place to go.

00:23:02.000 All right, so now we get to the really controversial segment, right?

00:23:05.000 This is amazing.

00:23:06.000 So we've only gone through the part where Joe Biden basically His brain stops working.

00:23:11.000 We got through the part where Joe Biden says that he's not going to scale down any of his spending plans, and where he blames all of the inflation on the supply chain problems, and where he says that he's just going to continue cramming down bizarre VAX policies on the rest of America.

00:23:24.000 That's not the most controversial part.

00:23:25.000 Then we get to elections.

00:23:26.000 So.

00:23:27.000 We've spent the last two years saying that the worst thing you can do in American politics is challenge the veracity of election.

00:23:33.000 You can't do it.

00:23:34.000 Donald Trump is a very bad man because he said that the 2020 election was stolen via election fraud.

00:23:39.000 That was a danger to democracy.

00:23:41.000 That was undermining faith in our electoral system.

00:23:44.000 How could anyone do this?

00:23:45.000 It would be the worst thing in the world if anyone did this.

00:23:47.000 I mean, if Stacey Abrams does it, that's different. 0.93

00:23:49.000 But if Donald Trump does it, it's the worst thing that ever happened. 0.91

00:23:52.000 Donald Trump undermined American democracy and this made him a historically evil human.

00:23:58.000 So yesterday, Joe Biden was asked a pretty simple question.

00:24:02.000 Joe, you've been going around to places like Georgia and suggesting that there is widespread voter suppression, that Republicans all over the United States are attempting to rig the vote by rigging who counts the vote.

00:24:13.000 You have suggested that if Republicans Do not pass your federalization of all election procedures bills.

00:24:20.000 And this means that elections will not be fair and free.

00:24:23.000 So are you suggesting that elections are illegitimate if you don't get what you want here?

00:24:28.000 Here is Joe Biden just saying elections are illegitimate if I don't get what I want.

00:24:33.000 Speaking of voting rights legislation, if this isn't passed, do you still believe the upcoming election will be fairly conducted and its results will be legitimate?

00:24:44.000 Well, it all depends on Whether or not we're able to make the case to the American people that some of this is being set up to try to alter the outcome of the election.

00:24:59.000 This is amazing.

00:24:59.000 I mean, it's amazing.

00:25:01.000 So he's asked, if you don't get your bill, are you saying that the next election won't be fair?

00:25:05.000 And Joe Biden is basically saying, yes, I think the next election will not be fair.

00:25:09.000 He is preemptively doubting every election in the United States, because guess what?

00:25:13.000 There are 50 states.

00:25:14.000 They all have different election procedures.

00:25:15.000 But he's saying, if I don't pass this federal bill that, by the way, failed last night in the Senate, if that doesn't pass, future elections are in doubt.

00:25:22.000 We cannot trust them any longer.

00:25:25.000 So you might think that was a gaffe, right?

00:25:27.000 Listen, he's incoherent, he babbles, he talks to walls.

00:25:30.000 He sounds like a man who's heavily stoned.

00:25:34.000 So maybe he doesn't know what he's saying.

00:25:37.000 No, he knows exactly what he's saying.

00:25:38.000 He's asked the same question again.

00:25:39.000 And here he goes doubling down on it.

00:25:42.000 Do you think that they would in any way be illegitimate?

00:25:47.000 Oh, yeah, I think it's easy to be illegitimate.

00:25:50.000 Imagine, imagine if, in fact, Trump has succeeded in convincing Pence to not count the votes.

00:25:57.000 Imagine if... In regards to 2022, sir, the midterm election.

00:26:01.000 Oh, 2022.

00:26:02.000 I mean, imagine if those attempts to say that the count was not legit.

00:26:10.000 You have to recount it or we're not going to count.

00:26:12.000 We're going to discard the following votes.

00:26:14.000 I mean, sure.

00:26:15.000 I'm not saying it's going to be legit.

00:26:18.000 The increase in the prospect of being illegitimate is in direct proportion to us not being able to get these reforms passed.

00:26:27.000 That's unbelievable.

00:26:28.000 It's that last statement where he says, the increase in the chance of illegitimacy is directly proportional to me getting what I want.

00:26:35.000 This man is saying that elections in the United States are no longer trustworthy.

00:26:38.000 You can't trust elections because he's not getting what he wants.

00:26:40.000 So that means you can't trust elections anymore.

00:26:42.000 So I don't want to hear any more from the left.

00:26:44.000 I don't want to hear any more from the Democratic Party about Donald Trump undermining democracy when your unifying, moderate president of the United States comes out and says in a press conference twice that future elections are illegitimate unless he passes a bill that just failed.

00:27:00.000 He just undermined democracy.

00:27:01.000 He is setting the stage for violence, folks.

00:27:04.000 If the idea is that Donald Trump set the stage for violence by raising the temperature, that Donald Trump spent a month and a half, two months, suggesting that the election of 2020 was illegitimate and that led to January 6th, if that's the contention of the left, what does it lead to when the President of the United States says that not just one election, every election in the United States is on the borderline of legitimacy because he's not getting what he wants?

00:27:28.000 This means, effectively speaking, there's no one who believes that if they lose, it might be because they just lost.

00:27:33.000 That's an amazing thing.

00:27:35.000 It's incredible.

00:27:37.000 And we'll see how the media cover it.

00:27:39.000 There are a few people who noted it, by the way.

00:27:40.000 John King on CNN last night.

00:27:41.000 He's like, didn't he just doubt the veracity of elections?

00:27:43.000 Dana Bash on CNN.

00:27:44.000 She's like, that sounds like not great.

00:27:46.000 That sounds kind of Trumpy, right?

00:27:47.000 But but most of the media is just going to be, well, no, it's different.

00:27:49.000 It's different.

00:27:50.000 John Harwood say, well, it's different.

00:27:52.000 Now, Trump, he was doubting elections because of election fraud.

00:27:55.000 Joe Biden, he's doubting elections because Republicans are trying to steal elections.

00:27:58.000 No, it's the same thing, guys.

00:28:00.000 The minute you suggest that voter verification procedures somehow mean that elections are illegitimate, it means that you only accept elections when you win.

00:28:08.000 That's what Joe Biden is doing right there.

00:28:11.000 And then Joe Biden was asked about the line that he's been trotting out recently over the past year, that everybody who opposes his voting agenda is a Jim Crow racist.

00:28:20.000 And Joe Biden gets angry.

00:28:21.000 He starts shouting at clouds because he's old man Grandpa Simpson shouting at clouds.

00:28:25.000 Listen to his defense.

00:28:28.000 Of his own words, he's asked about saying in Georgia that you have to choose to be on the side of Martin Luther King or on the side of Bull Connor.

00:28:38.000 You have to choose between being on the side of Jefferson Davis or being on the side of Abraham Lincoln.

00:28:42.000 That's what he said.

00:28:44.000 So he is comparing, without a doubt, the people who do not side with him to people who would have sided with Bull Connor and Jefferson Davis and George Wallace.

00:28:53.000 So he's asked about that. 0.97

00:28:54.000 And here is his angry, defensive, ridiculous response.

00:28:57.000 I know that you dispute the characterization that you called folks who would oppose those voting bills as being Bull Connor or George Wallace, but you said that they would be sort of in the same camp. 0.81

00:29:11.000 No, I didn't say that.

00:29:12.000 Look what I said.

00:29:13.000 Go back and read what I said and tell me if you think I called anyone who voted on the side of the position taken by Bull Connor that they were Bull Connor.

00:29:29.000 That is an interesting reading of English.

00:29:32.000 I assume you got into journalism because you like to write.

00:29:35.000 Okay, so that's Philip Blegman of Real Clear News.

00:29:39.000 And what he is asking Joe Biden, I mean, even Joe Biden's defense makes no sense.

00:29:43.000 He's like, are you saying, are you, are you saying that, you know, interesting reading of English, which is a language I sometimes talk in.

00:29:56.000 Are you saying that, go back and read it.

00:30:00.000 And you know, when I say that anybody who's on the side of Bull Connor, are you saying I'm saying they're like Bull- Yes, that's exactly what you said.

00:30:08.000 That's exactly what you said.

00:30:09.000 It was one of the worst things I've ever heard a president say.

00:30:13.000 It's amazing.

00:30:14.000 Even his own party, even his own party was like, that was too much, Joe.

00:30:17.000 And he's like, no, no, no, that's not what I said at all.

00:30:19.000 Of course, that's what you said.

00:30:21.000 Of course, that is what you said.

00:30:22.000 I mean, the insanity of him saying a thing, being quoted on the thing, And then suggesting that he never said the thing is truly unbelievable.

00:30:33.000 He said, I did not say they were going to be a George Wallace or a Bull Connor.

00:30:36.000 I said, we're going to have a decision in history that is going to be marked just like it was then.

00:30:40.000 You either voted on the side.

00:30:41.000 That didn't make you George Wallace or it didn't make you Bull Connor.

00:30:44.000 But if you did not vote for the Voting Rights Act back then, you were voting with those who agreed with Bull Connor.

00:30:49.000 So you're not, you know, you're not like Bull Connor.

00:30:51.000 You're just like those people who are on Bull Connor's side.

00:30:55.000 Oh, thanks.

00:30:57.000 So if I say in a speech that Joe Biden, you know, you have a choice between being with the resistance or being with Hitler.

00:31:05.000 I'm not saying he's like Hitler.

00:31:07.000 I'm just saying that he's on the side of the people who are on the side of Hitler. 0.91

00:31:10.000 Oh, well, oh, then I guess I wasn't comparing.

00:31:13.000 I guess I wasn't comparing.

00:31:14.000 He knows exactly what he said, but he thinks that he can just bluster rage his way through this thing.

00:31:18.000 By the way, whatever happens, all those complaints about the attacks on the free press.

00:31:22.000 You know, Philip, do you even read in English?

00:31:25.000 English, a language I sometimes talk in using my brains?

00:31:31.000 It's just incredible.

00:31:33.000 Okay, and then believe it or not...

00:31:35.000 He got even worse.

00:31:36.000 So way back before the Gulf War, there was a person named April Glaspie.

00:31:41.000 April Glaspie worked for the State Department under James Baker in the H.W. 1.00

00:31:45.000 Bush administration.

00:31:46.000 And there is a widely controversial meeting that she had with Saddam Hussein and the government of Iraq right before the Gulf War, in which she apparently said that the United States had no interest in Arab versus Arab conflicts.

00:31:58.000 The United States really had no interest in Arab versus Arab border conflicts.

00:32:01.000 And and that we just hope that they settled things between Iraq and Kuwait.

00:32:05.000 And it was widely reported just after the Gulf War that this had had an impact on the thinking of the Iraqi military, that the Iraqi military had taken that to mean that the United States would not intervene in the case of an Iraqi invasion of Kuwait.

00:32:20.000 Now, as it turns out, that may or may not have been true.

00:32:22.000 We don't know whether the Iraqis looked at April Glaspie's comments and they thought, OK, well, we can go into Kuwait or whether it had no impact on their thinking.

00:32:30.000 We also don't know exactly what she said, because all you have are sort of contemporaneous records that were taken in writing at the time.

00:32:35.000 However, one thing we do know is what Joe Biden said at a public press conference in front of the entire world yesterday, which is, he said to Vladimir Putin about Ukraine, just the tip.

00:32:46.000 That is what he said to Vladimir Putin yesterday at a press conference.

00:32:49.000 He said, you can go into Ukraine so long as it's just the tip.

00:32:55.000 It's amazing.

00:32:56.000 Truly incredible.

00:32:57.000 We'll get to that in just one moment.

00:32:59.000 By the way, Vladimir Putin has to be licking his chops.

00:33:01.000 China has to be licking his chops. 0.93

00:33:02.000 There's a reason that Russia, China, Iran, they're holding joint naval exercises now.

00:33:06.000 There's a reason for that.

00:33:07.000 They're looking at this administration and they are thinking, man, if I'm going to make a move, now is the time to make it.

00:33:12.000 If you're China looking with hungry eyes at Taiwan, why would you not make that move exactly? 0.96

00:33:17.000 If you know you're going to have to Use military force at some point.

00:33:21.000 Why not do it now?

00:33:22.000 While the getting is good. 0.98

00:35:13.000 Eastern, 7 p.m.

00:35:14.000 Central.

00:35:15.000 Be there or be square.

00:35:16.000 you're listening to the largest, fastest growing conservative podcast and radio show in the nation.

00:35:20.000 All righty, so we finally get to the apex of the insanity of Joe Biden's two hour press conference yesterday. 0.95

00:35:31.000 You know, aside from the babbling incoherence, aside from his idiocy on the economy, aside from his idiocy on COVID, aside from the utter craziness of the President of the United States openly saying that all future elections are corrupt unless he gets what he wants, which is a wild statement, it really is. 0.92

00:35:46.000 Okay, then we got to Joe Biden and Russia and Ukraine. 0.98

00:35:49.000 So Russia has 100,000 troops stationed on the border of Ukraine.

00:35:52.000 They've been threatening Ukraine for, at this point, weeks and weeks and weeks. 0.60

00:35:55.000 They've been essentially setting up false flag operations inside Ukraine as an excuse for them to cross the border of Ukraine.

00:36:02.000 They've been attempting to dictate to NATO that Ukraine should never become a part of NATO.

00:36:06.000 They've been attempting to suggest that the West should not come to Ukraine's defense.

00:36:10.000 And the West so far has been extraordinarily tepid.

00:36:12.000 The West has done pretty much nothing.

00:36:14.000 Germany stopped the United States from shutting down preemptively Nord Stream 2.

00:36:19.000 Europe has prevented the United States from getting involved in sanctions activity.

00:36:23.000 And the United States has refused to put any sort of troop presence in Ukraine to even deter the Russians. 0.61

00:36:30.000 The goal here is not to go to war with Russia.

00:36:32.000 The goal is to deter Russia from going to war with Ukraine.

00:36:36.000 On a fundamental level, I don't understand why people don't get deterrence.

00:36:38.000 What deterrence is, is we are going to station some of our naval assets in the Black Sea to say to the Russians that if you cross this line, you must know there will be consequences. 0.57

00:36:47.000 Joe Biden has not done any of those things.

00:36:49.000 He's putting additional troops in like Poland.

00:36:51.000 Anyway, Joe Biden's foreign policy section of his press conference last night began with his defense of Afghanistan.

00:36:57.000 So first of all, let's just be clear.

00:36:58.000 Afghanistan is one of the worst foreign policy disasters in America's history. 0.82

00:37:01.000 I would say it is the worst foreign policy disaster in America's history.

00:37:05.000 It is worse than Vietnam. 1.00

00:37:06.000 It is worse than Vietnam because we voluntarily pulled out of a country and collapsed it in favor of 8th century barbarians for no reason whatsoever. 0.99

00:37:14.000 None.

00:37:15.000 Just because Joe Biden wanted some sort of rhetorical flourish.

00:37:18.000 So you could say he entered a 20-year war.

00:37:20.000 And currently, there are 19 million women who are now living in abject sex slavery, essentially. 1.00

00:37:24.000 You have people who are selling their own children for food.

00:37:27.000 That is not an exaggeration.

00:37:29.000 They are literally selling small children in sex slavery for food in Afghanistan right now.

00:37:34.000 We have terror groups that are regrouping.

00:37:36.000 13 American service people were killed.

00:37:37.000 We have hundreds of Americans still stuck behind enemy lines over there and have been stuck for months at this point.

00:37:43.000 We have the Chinese taking advantage of the rare earth's minerals in Afghanistan. 1.00

00:37:46.000 The Russians celebrating because they were backing the Taliban. 0.80

00:37:49.000 And here's Joe Biden declaring it all a success yesterday.

00:37:52.000 There is no way to get out of Afghanistan after 20 years easily. 1.00

00:38:00.000 Not possible, no matter when you did it.

00:38:03.000 Had we stayed, and I had not pulled those troops out, we would be asked to put somewhere between 20,000 and 50,000 more troops back in.

00:38:13.000 Because the only reason more Americans weren't being killed than others is because the last president signed an agreement to get out by May 1st.

00:38:21.000 And so it's all it's all Trump's fault.

00:38:22.000 OK, so that is the predicate for Russia getting more militant, China getting more militant. 0.95

00:38:27.000 All of our enemies see that this president is a weakling.

00:38:30.000 And so they have moved and Putin is moving.

00:38:33.000 So here is a Joe Biden yesterday saying that he guesses that probably Putin will move into Ukraine.

00:38:38.000 I mean, why not?

00:38:39.000 He probably has to, says Joe Biden.

00:38:42.000 I'm not so sure he has a certain what he's going to do.

00:38:47.000 My guess is he will move in.

00:38:49.000 He has to do something.

00:38:52.000 He has to do something.

00:38:53.000 And now later, Biden tries to back off.

00:38:54.000 Well, maybe we don't know yet.

00:38:56.000 Maybe he'll do something.

00:38:57.000 Maybe he won't.

00:38:58.000 But he has to do something.

00:38:58.000 My guess is he will move.

00:39:01.000 Why not just give him the green light?

00:39:02.000 OK, it gets worse.

00:39:03.000 It gets worse.

00:39:03.000 So Joe Biden is trying to explain that there will be consequences if Vladimir Putin goes into Ukraine.

00:39:08.000 But he says that if Vladimir Putin does not go full bore into Ukraine, like he doesn't march into Kiev, if he's if he just if it's just the tip, That is fine.

00:39:19.000 Just the tip isn't really an invasion.

00:39:22.000 It's kind of a minor incursion.

00:39:24.000 It's like a minor incursion.

00:39:25.000 You know, like Bill Clinton and Monica Lewinsky.

00:39:27.000 Minor incursion.

00:39:29.000 Here is Joe Biden.

00:39:31.000 I mentioned April Glaspie before, the undersecretary of state in the Middle East during the H.W.

00:39:37.000 Bush administration, who suggested that the United States might not do anything if Iraq invaded Kuwait.

00:39:43.000 And there's controversy over whether she Basically precipitated the Iraqi invasion or not.

00:39:48.000 If Vladimir Putin invades Ukraine, you can attribute it to this comment above all others.

00:39:53.000 This is the president of the United States in a full public press conference saying that as long as Vladimir Putin only commits a minor incursion, there might not be consequences.

00:40:04.000 Here was Joe Biden yesterday.

00:40:07.000 I think what you're going to see is that Russia will be held accountable if it invades. 0.96

00:40:13.000 And it depends on what it does.

00:40:15.000 It's one thing if it's a minor incursion and then we end up having to fight about what to do and not do, etc.

00:40:22.000 It's one thing if it's a minor incursion.

00:40:24.000 It's one thing if it's a minor incursion.

00:40:26.000 Just welcome it.

00:40:27.000 Just open the gate, man.

00:40:30.000 By the way, according to CNN, the entire government of Ukraine is now in a state of full-scale meltdown panic because that is Joe Biden just offering Ukraine up on a platter.

00:40:39.000 Because Vladimir Putin is going to say, well, what if it's not a minor incursion?

00:40:42.000 First of all, there's no such thing as a minor incursion on American territory.

00:40:45.000 If Mexico just walked across the southern border of the United States and took over some of the border counties of Texas, But they didn't take all of Texas, just like a little bit.

00:40:54.000 Would we consider that a minor, like, in what circumstances is it considered a minor incursion for any country to cross the sovereign border of another country militarily?

00:41:04.000 How does that even work?

00:41:05.000 How is that a minor, like, that's crazy towns, what he is saying.

00:41:09.000 You know, Sudetenland, minor incursion.

00:41:11.000 Eh.

00:41:13.000 When in human history has it been considered a minor incursion to just cross the border of another sovereign state?

00:41:19.000 But there's Joe Biden saying, by the way, he doubled down on this.

00:41:21.000 He was asked again later to clarify.

00:41:23.000 And what he said was, you know, NATO is divided.

00:41:25.000 We can't get the Europeans on board to do anything if it's a minor incursion. 0.77

00:41:28.000 So, you know, we really I can't really say that we're going to do much over here because, you know, if he takes the Netsk, then he takes the Netsk, you know, like. 0.94

00:41:36.000 To say that out loud in a press conference in front of the world, like Vladimir Putin must just be laughing his ass off at this weakling.

00:41:44.000 So this necessitated the night nurse Jen Psaki coming in after presumably downing all of her edibles that she keeps for emergency circumstances, according to Red C's over over Twitter. 1.00

00:41:55.000 It necessitated her showing up And releasing a statement.

00:41:59.000 Here is the statement, quote, President Biden has been clear with the Russian president.

00:42:03.000 If any Russian military forces move across the Ukrainian border, that's a renewed invasion, and it will be met with a swift, severe, and united response from the United States and our allies.

00:42:11.000 President Biden also knows from long experience that the Russians have an extensive playbook of aggression short of military action, including cyber attacks and paramilitary tactics.

00:42:19.000 And he affirmed today that those acts of Russian aggression will be met with a decisive, reciprocal, and united response.

00:42:24.000 No, he did precisely the opposite.

00:42:26.000 He did exactly the opposite.

00:42:27.000 We played the tape of it.

00:42:29.000 It's fun to watch history being rewritten in real time.

00:42:32.000 He literally said yesterday, NATO is not united.

00:42:35.000 NATO is divided.

00:42:36.000 He literally said yesterday that a minor incursion might be different than a major full scale Russian invasion. 1.00

00:42:42.000 That is Joe Biden giving a green light to like Putin would be an idiot not to walk across the border at this point. 1.00

00:42:48.000 Why wouldn't he? 1.00

00:42:49.000 Seriously, what is the downside for Vladimir Putin?

00:42:51.000 What are you going to do to him, Joe?

00:42:53.000 You can't get the Germans on board to sanction Nord Stream 2.

00:42:57.000 Not over a minor incursion.

00:42:58.000 It's incredible stuff.

00:43:00.000 Okay, so here's the bottom line.

00:43:01.000 Joe Biden's presidency is failing on every conceivable level, which leaves him one option.

00:43:07.000 That option is to complain about Republicans.

00:43:09.000 So now he's trying to blame Republicans.

00:43:11.000 He has a majority in the Senate.

00:43:12.000 He has a majority in the House.

00:43:13.000 He's the President of the United States.

00:43:14.000 He can't get anything done because he decided to pursue a completely partisan, insane agenda.

00:43:19.000 It has failed in every respect.

00:43:21.000 Naturally, that means he's going to blame Republicans.

00:43:23.000 Good luck with this pitch.

00:43:25.000 I did not anticipate that there'd be such a stalwart effort to make sure that the most important thing was that President Biden didn't get anything done.

00:43:37.000 Think about this.

00:43:38.000 What are Republicans for?

00:43:40.000 What are they for?

00:43:42.000 Name me one thing they're for.

00:43:44.000 All righty, you ready?

00:43:45.000 Here are a few things that Republicans are for. 1.00

00:43:47.000 They are for lower taxes, lower regulations, not shutting down the entire country because of your idiotic COVID protocols. 0.98

00:43:52.000 They are against VAX mandates. 0.98

00:43:54.000 By the way, being against a thing is also being for another thing.

00:43:57.000 Okay, being against VAX mandates means being for personal freedom.

00:44:01.000 Being against your garbage spending plans means being in favor of a free market economy.

00:44:05.000 Being against your foreign policy means being in favor of a muscular American foreign policy. 0.98

00:44:10.000 Trying to blame Republicans for your own failures.

00:44:12.000 I love this.

00:44:13.000 He's like, who could have foreseen?

00:44:14.000 I don't know.

00:44:15.000 I never thought that Republicans might have.

00:44:17.000 Really?

00:44:17.000 You've been in the Senate since the Senate didn't exist.

00:44:21.000 He's been in the Senate since 1622.

00:44:23.000 And this guy didn't it never occurred to him that as president of the United States, you might run into some political opposition.

00:44:28.000 It's incredible.

00:44:28.000 OK, so.

00:44:30.000 Here's the bottom line. 1.00

00:44:30.000 Failed president, failed administration, no ability to turn things around, and he happens to be a babbling, incoherent fool. 1.00

00:44:36.000 That's where we are. 1.00

00:44:38.000 Good luck!

00:44:39.000 We have three more years of this, gang.
