Transcript

00:00:00.000 Folks, this is going to be a hot week.
00:00:02.000 There is so much happening.
00:00:04.000 Congress is back in session, which means Democrats are now going to have to answer questions about whether Joe Biden ought to remain the nominee.
00:00:10.000 France is bursting into flames.
00:00:12.000 But before we get to any of that, I have something really important to share with you.
00:00:15.000 So Kamala Harris is the most important person in the country right now because either she's going to take over the presidency now and take over Joe Biden's campaign right now, or if God forbid he wins, she'll be the president afterward.
00:00:25.000 But nobody knows anything about Kamala Harris other than she's really irritating and the laughter and all of that.
00:00:29.000 But That doesn't have to be the case, because tonight, Scamala, Kamala Harris Unmasked, is my new three-part series.
00:00:35.000 It premieres for free tonight, 7 p.m.

00:00:44.000 Kamala Harris is a hair's breadth from the Oval Office.
00:00:48.000 She's so bad.
00:00:50.000 She's so pathetic.
00:00:51.000 How did she get here?
00:00:52.000 How did someone with such a knack for failure manage to climb the greasy pole to the precipice of the most powerful position in the world?
00:00:59.000 We did it!
00:01:00.000 We did it, Joe!
00:01:01.000 In this documentary podcast, we're peeling back the layers of Kamala Harris' career, exposing the scandals, the missteps, and the awkwardness that have come to define her journey.
00:01:09.000 Because here's the ugly truth.
00:01:12.000 Kamala Harris is a scam artist, and that scam artist is now a hair's breadth from the Oval Office, where her incompetence and inauthenticity aren't just a problem, they're a dangerous existential issue for the United States.

00:01:47.000 Don't miss it. So speaking of Kamala Harris, we first have to speak about the guy who is
00:01:51.000 currently president and currently the nominee and that is Joe Biden.
00:01:54.000 The big question in Democratic circles is whether he stays or whether he goes.
00:01:58.000 And he's a stubborn old man, so he really wants to stay.
00:02:00.000 And he is now channeling Jennifer Holliday from the original Broadway production of Dreamgirls.
00:02:05.000 I'm staying!
00:02:06.000 I'm staying!
00:02:07.000 And you, and you, you're gonna love me!
00:02:10.000 It's not good.
00:02:13.000 It's really, really bad.
00:02:14.000 So on July 5th, which was Friday, Joe Biden actually tweeted out that he was staying!
00:02:19.000 And you're gonna love me!
00:02:21.000 Let me say this as clearly as I can, he tweeted.
00:02:23.000 I'm the sitting president of the United States.
00:02:25.000 I'm the nominee of the Democratic Party.
00:02:27.000 I'm staying in the race.
00:02:29.000 Well, we know that's not really what he would say if he could say it as clearly as he could, because if he could say it verbally, it would sound more like this.
00:02:37.000 Let me say this, Henry.
00:02:38.000 I was going to say it, but come on, man.
00:02:41.000 So, I mean, that's what an intern would read for him.
00:02:43.000 Anyway, so on Friday, he held a rally in Wisconsin where he insisted he will not drop out.
00:02:50.000 He will stay.
00:02:51.000 Now, you probably heard.
00:02:56.000 We had a little debate last week.
00:02:59.000 Can't say it was my best performance.
00:03:02.000 But ever since then, there's been a lot of speculation.
00:03:05.000 What's Joe gonna do?
00:03:06.000 Is he gonna stay in the race?
00:03:10.000 Is he gonna drop out?
00:03:11.000 What's he gonna do?
00:03:12.000 Well, here's my answer.
00:03:14.000 I am running and gonna win again.
00:03:20.000 Okay, there's only one problem.
00:03:21.000 In this same rally where he is trying to pretend to be an alive person, he died on the stage.
00:03:27.000 So he explained that he was going to win again in 2020.
00:03:30.000 So apparently Joe Biden either has a mental problem or he has discovered a time machine.
00:03:46.000 I will beat him again in 2020.
00:03:47.000 Beat him again in 2020?
00:03:48.000 How?
00:03:50.000 Well, I mean, if he's gonna beat him again in 2020, I mean, at the very least, if he's gonna use the time machine, he should go back to, like, 1856 and beat James Buchanan or something important.
00:03:58.000 According to CNN's new survey, by the way, 75% of voters say the Democratic Party would have a better chance against Donald Trump if they backed another candidate.
00:04:05.000 More than 50% of Democrats and Democrat-leaning registered voters agreed with that election sentiment.
00:04:11.000 So that is a massive problem for Joe Biden.
00:04:13.000 This is all starting to get away from him.
00:04:15.000 So, he can be a stubborn old man.
00:04:17.000 He can be as stubborn as he wants to be, but the pressure is ratcheting up inside the Democratic Party that only became louder on Friday night.
00:04:23.000 Biden is very stubborn, but the pressure is ratcheting up inside the Democratic Party just like the pressure on your bills is ratcheting up thanks to Joe Biden.
00:04:29.000 You've heard me say for a long time, cell phone service with Pure Talk is half the cost of Verizon, AT&T, or T-Mobile.
00:04:35.000 So you might be thinking, what's the catch?
00:04:36.000 How can Pure Talk offer unlimited talk, text, and plenty of data for just $20 a month?
00:04:40.000 Well, I say just ask the thousands of my other listeners who have already switched over.
00:04:43.000 They are loving America's most dependable 5G network.
00:04:45.000 They love Pure Talk's U.S.
00:04:46.000 customer service team, their selection of premium phones, the money they're saving every month.

00:05:26.000 That's PureTalk.com slash Shapiro today to get started.
00:05:31.000 As we talked about in Friday's show, he was slated to do an interview with George Stephanopoulos.
00:05:35.000 And the question was whether George Stephanopoulos was going to try to massage him back into some form of actual living embodiment or whether he was going to put a pillow over his face and smother the old man.
00:05:47.000 And it turns out that he was going to put a pillow over his face and smother the old man.
00:05:51.000 So Stephanopoulos wasn't asking particularly hard questions if Joe Biden were a sentient person and not a vegetable.
00:05:57.000 But the problem is that Joe Biden is now Rutabaga.
00:05:59.000 So here was George Stephanopoulos asking Joe Biden, are you the same man you were when you took office?
00:06:04.000 And remember, the stakes of this interview?
00:06:06.000 were the nomination.
00:06:08.000 Because if Joe Biden had appeared lively and sprightly, if his lie that his debate with Donald Trump was just an off night were true, then he might have been able to get this train back on the rails.
00:06:19.000 But the interview was a disaster area.
00:06:22.000 Every time he appears on television, for some odd reason, he won't project.
00:06:26.000 And so it sounds as though his voice is going, like it's cracking.
00:06:30.000 You can barely hear him.
00:06:31.000 And he starts wandering randomly all over the verbal landscape in search of an idea.
00:06:37.000 And here is George Stephanopoulos asking him, are you the same person you were when you took office?
00:06:42.000 Are you the same man today that you were when you took office three and a half years ago?
00:06:45.000 In terms of successes, yes.
00:06:47.000 But what has all that work over the last three and a half years cost you physically, mentally, emotionally?
00:06:54.000 Well, I just think it cost me a really bad night.
00:07:01.000 Bad run.
00:07:02.000 What I'm asking you is about your personal situation.
00:07:05.000 Do you dispute that there have been more lapses, especially in the last several months?
00:07:11.000 Can I run the 110 flat?
00:07:13.000 No.
00:07:14.000 But I'm still in good shape.
00:07:16.000 Are you more frail?
00:07:18.000 No.
00:07:21.000 He's not more frail.
00:07:23.000 This did not go well.
00:07:24.000 And you can hear Stephanopoulos.
00:07:26.000 He's now sneaking behind the bed to pull the plug on the old man.
00:07:30.000 Right?
00:07:32.000 That's what Stephanopoulos is doing right there because that interview, one of the people on the screen was going to exit that interview dead.
00:07:38.000 It was either George Stephanopoulos for trying to massage Biden back into life or Biden with the plug pulled by George Stephanopoulos.
00:07:45.000 So Joe Biden was asked by Stephanopoulos, when were you aware the debate was going poorly?
00:07:49.000 And Joe Biden started wandering like an Alzheimer's patient who accidentally got out the front door.
00:07:56.000 Did you ever watch the debate afterwards?
00:07:59.000 I don't think I did.
00:08:02.000 What I want to get at is, what were you experiencing as you were going through the debate?
00:08:06.000 Did you know how badly it was going?
00:08:08.000 Yeah, look.
00:08:12.000 The whole way I prepared, nobody's fault, mine.
00:08:15.000 Nobody's fault but mine.
00:08:18.000 I prepared what I usually would do, sitting down, as I did come back with foreign leaders or the National Security Council, for explicit detail.
00:08:29.000 And I realized about partway through that You know, although I get quoted, the New York Times had me down at ten points before the debate, nine now or whatever the hell it is.
00:08:40.000 The fact of the matter is that what I looked at is that he also lied 28 times.
00:08:46.000 I couldn't... I mean, the way the debate ran, not my fault, no one else's fault.
00:08:52.000 No one else's fault.
00:08:54.000 But it seemed like you were having trouble from the first question in, even before he spoke.
00:09:00.000 Well, I just had a bad night.
00:09:02.000 And then Joe Biden gets mad, right?
00:09:04.000 Because again, he's a, he's a crotchety elderly fellow.
00:09:07.000 And he says that he's very angry that Democrats want him to leave.
00:09:11.000 And also only the Lord God Almighty could make him go.
00:09:14.000 That Senator Mark Warner is assembling a group of senators together to try and convince you to stand down because they don't think you can win.
00:09:24.000 Well, Mark is a good man.
00:09:26.000 We've never had that.
00:09:28.000 He also tried to get the nomination, too.
00:09:30.000 Mark's not.
00:09:32.000 Mark and I have a different perspective.
00:09:34.000 I respect him.
00:09:36.000 And if Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries and Nancy Pelosi come down and say, we're worried that if you stay in the race, we're going to lose the House and the Senate, how will you respond?
00:09:47.000 I go into detail with them.
00:09:49.000 I've spoken to all of them in detail, including Jim Clyburn.
00:09:53.000 Every one of them.
00:09:54.000 They all said I should stay in the race.
00:09:57.000 Stay in the race.
00:09:58.000 None of the people said I should leave.
00:10:00.000 But if they do?
00:10:02.000 Well, they're not going to do that.
00:10:06.000 Yeah, I'm sure.
00:10:06.000 You sure?
00:10:09.000 Look, I mean, if the Lord Almighty came out and said, Joe, get out of the race, I'd get out of the race.
00:10:13.000 The Lord Almighty's not coming down.
00:10:16.000 If you Are told reliably from your allies, from your friends and supporters in the Democratic Party, in the House and the Senate, that they're concerned you're gonna lose the House and the Senate if you stay in.
00:10:28.000 I'm not gonna answer that question.
00:10:28.000 What will you do?
00:10:31.000 It's not gonna happen.
00:10:34.000 It's not gonna happen.
00:10:35.000 Well, he is being told that by his friends and allies.
00:10:38.000 In fact, Jim Clyburn was booked on the Sunday shows.
00:10:40.000 He wouldn't appear.
00:10:41.000 He cancelled on the Sunday shows.
00:10:43.000 By the way, it is worth noting here that the quality of the audio is really bad, right?
00:10:46.000 You can hear that buzzing in the background.
00:10:48.000 Obviously, we work in a studio.
00:10:49.000 One of the things that you do in a studio is you turn off the air conditioner.
00:10:52.000 Okay, that's not the air conditioner in the background.
00:10:54.000 The reason that the audio is so bad is because Joe Biden is speaking so softly that the mics are not properly picking him up.
00:10:59.000 So they had to ratchet up the audio level in order to pick up the voice of the President of the United States because that's how weak he was in this interview.
00:11:08.000 Stephanopoulos, for his part, was really trying to push Joe Biden over that cliff.
00:11:11.000 Like, Joe Biden is grabbing, like a cartoon character, onto the edge of the cliff with his fingernails.
00:11:16.000 It's like Wile E. Coyote.
00:11:17.000 You can see the fingernails digging into the rock as he gradually starts to fall down the cliff face.
00:11:23.000 Here's George Stephanopoulos saying, dude, no one gets reelected with a 36% approval rating.
00:11:26.000 And Joe Biden's like, well, anyway.
00:11:33.000 What's your plan to turn the campaign around?
00:11:34.000 You saw it today.
00:11:38.000 How many people can you draw crowds like I drew today?
00:11:41.000 Do you find me more enthusiastic than today?
00:11:44.000 You're the president.
00:11:46.000 I mean, I don't think you want to play the crowd game.
00:11:46.000 Huh?
00:11:48.000 Donald Trump can draw big crowds.
00:11:50.000 There's no question about that.
00:11:51.000 I can draw a big crowd, but what's he say?
00:11:54.000 Who's he have?
00:11:55.000 I'm the guy supposedly in trouble.
00:11:57.000 Mr. President, I've never seen a president with 36% approval get re-elected.
00:12:01.000 Well, I don't believe that's my approval rate.
00:12:03.000 That's not what our polls show.
00:12:06.000 That's not what his polls show.
00:12:07.000 I mean, this is just George Stephanopoulos beating him with a 2x4.
00:12:11.000 And sure, that doesn't have a massive impact because George Stephanopoulos is 5'2 and 87 pounds soaking wet, but still, he's clobbering Biden here.
00:12:19.000 So he asks Biden, will you feel guilty if you lose, right?
00:12:21.000 Like if you stay in too long and then you lose to Trump, your legacy is that you turn the presidency back over to the guy you say is a threat to democracy.
00:12:28.000 Are you going to feel guilty at all?
00:12:30.000 Biden's like, what is guilt?
00:12:32.000 I don't know.
00:12:32.000 What?
00:12:33.000 No, no.
00:12:37.000 And if you stay in and Trump is elected and everything you're warning about comes to pass, how will you feel in January?
00:12:45.000 I'll feel as long as I gave it my all and I did the goodest job as I know I can do.
00:12:49.000 That's what this is about.
00:12:53.000 This interview is 22 minutes long, by the way.
00:12:55.000 It was not an hour because Joe Biden is not capable of going an hour.
00:12:59.000 CNN reported that after the interview, Team Biden thought he did amazing.
00:13:02.000 But of course they're going to say that, because what are they going to say?
00:13:04.000 That he did horribly?
00:13:05.000 So here is CNN reporting on the Biden team's reaction.
00:13:09.000 The Biden campaign thinks that the interview last night did exactly what they wanted it to do.
00:13:15.000 In their thinking, they think that it showed a president who could respond to these questions, do so in an articulate fashion, and really push back against the concerns about his cognitive health.
00:13:26.000 So they're looking at this as a win, seeing it as a strong Okay, there's only one problem.
00:13:31.000 No one actually believes that.
00:13:32.000 was doing in that interview was showing defiance, dismissing the concerns and the
00:13:38.000 critics about his candidacy.
00:13:42.000 Okay, there's only one problem. No one actually believes that. Now listen, as a
00:13:48.000 person who wants Donald Trump to win the presidency, I wish that the entire
00:13:52.000 Democratic Party bought into this narrative.
00:13:53.000 I wish they bought into the narrative that Joe Biden were doing just fine.
00:13:56.000 Let me tell you, my synagogue, which is filled with Orthodox Jews who all think that Joe Biden is a terrible president, my synagogue is going to vote 105% for Donald Trump.
00:14:05.000 I can tell you that there is a prayer that we do every week for the government of the United States in the middle of Shakhri, which is the morning prayer.
00:14:12.000 And that prayer involves a prayer for the health of the President of the United States.
00:14:17.000 Never has that prayer been said with more fervor than in my synagogue this weekend.
00:14:22.000 Because everybody who wants Trump to win is like, I hope that this guy lasts.
00:14:25.000 Like, truly, he's an awful candidate.
00:14:27.000 I hope he sticks around.
00:14:28.000 All the uncertainty surrounding Joe Biden's presidency is not great for the stock market, for the economy.
00:14:32.000 You're seeing that also with regard to the French elections, the UK elections.
00:14:35.000 Well, all that uncertainty means you probably should diversify at least a little bit into gold.
00:14:40.000 See, since 1974, Saudi Arabia has sold oil solely in American dollars.
00:14:44.000 That was huge for our global economic dominance.
00:14:45.000 Now they want other options.
00:14:46.000 They, too, are hedging their bets.

00:15:38.000 Now, the reality is that the leaks are now beginning and the information is accruing,
00:15:43.000 suggesting that Joe Biden, of course, is not well.
00:15:45.000 The Daily Wire's Luke Groziak has looked at the White House's own official transcripts, and according to Daily Wire, they suggest that President Joe Biden's speaking errors have grown steadily worse, with his rate of missteps doubling in the 12 months leading up to his disastrous debate performance in June.
00:15:58.000 White House staff tasked with preparing transcripts of his speeches and remarks cross out Biden's erroneous words or insert the words he should have said using brackets.
00:16:05.000 They had to do that a staggering 51 times in May 2024.
00:16:09.000 The rate of errors per word spoken was one of the worst of his presidency.
00:16:12.000 He was whisked out of the public eye for much of June, speaking only half the number of words in official remarks he normally does, until of course his cognitive difficulties captured the world's attention at the June 27th debate.
00:16:23.000 And there is a chart demonstrating exactly how bad it is.
00:16:27.000 And the answer is an arithmetic increase in the number of errors spoken.
00:16:31.000 In June 2023, the White House corrected 33 errors, amounting to an error rate of 3.2 per 10,000 words.
00:16:37.000 The 51 errors in May led to a rate of 7.2 for that month when he spoke 70,000 words.
00:16:42.000 Hey, so that means that it has been gradually increasing.
00:16:45.000 The corrections have continued this month.
00:16:48.000 The White House transcript is a total mess.
00:16:50.000 It is filled with crossouts.
00:16:51.000 It is filled with insertions.
00:16:52.000 It is filled with deletions.
00:16:55.000 And of course, this is something that the White House has now made sort of de rigueur.
00:16:59.000 So Maureen Dowd writes this at the New York Times.
00:17:02.000 And she points out, quote, When I saw the Michael Scheer story in the Times on July 4th recounting how President Biden had stumbled talking to black radio hosts days after his debate debacle, telling one he was proud to have been the first black woman to serve with a black president, I knew it spelled trouble.
00:17:17.000 First of all, if any white man could claim to be the first black woman in the Oval, it was Bill Clinton.
00:17:20.000 Black fans called him the first black president, and feminist fans called him the first woman president.
00:17:24.000 Second of all, we were entering a new post-debate examination period with President Biden where every word would be scrutinized.
00:17:29.000 But as she points out, she got a call, so she wrote about this, and then she got a call from somebody in the Biden campaign.
00:17:38.000 quote, in my Saturday column, I quoted Biden's line to ABC's at George Stephanopoulos about
00:17:43.000 how he would feel if Trump were sworn in as president because he refused to step aside.
00:17:46.000 Quote, I'll feel as long as I gave it my all and I did the goodest job as I know I can do.
00:17:51.000 That's what this is about. Now, goodest isn't a word.
00:17:54.000 By my researcher, Andrew Trunsky, and I listened to the video our ears up against the computer ten times.
00:17:58.000 That's what it sounded like.
00:17:59.000 We also checked the ABC News transcript.
00:18:00.000 That's the word they used.
00:18:02.000 Times news reporters and reporters for other news outlets took their cue from the ABC transcript.
00:18:06.000 The confusion was so universal that on Axios Saturday, there were two different versions.
00:18:10.000 Mike Allen's newsletter used Goodist.
00:18:12.000 Another story used, I did as good a job as I know I can do.
00:18:15.000 After my column posted Saturday morning, T.J.
00:18:17.000 Ducklow, a Biden campaign spokesman, emailed me to flag the ABC News updated transcript to read, I'll feel as long as I give it my all and I did the job as good as I know I can do.
00:18:26.000 This is what it's about.
00:18:28.000 Ducklow asked if I could tweak the column and change the word Goodist to make my piece consistent with the corrected transcript, even though the revised version was also gobbledygook.
00:18:36.000 This is what the Biden campaign is now focused on.
00:18:36.000 Right?
00:18:39.000 There are so many errors and so many mistakes that Joe Biden is making out there that they basically have to send out a team of firefighters to put out every brush fire that Joe Biden sets.
00:18:47.000 And the leaks continue.
00:18:50.000 According to a report from the UK Guardian, Joe Biden's doctor met with a leading Washington neurologist at the White House this year.
00:18:59.000 The report came after Biden on Friday ruled out taking an independent cognitive test and releasing its findings publicly.
00:19:04.000 And of course they're doing that.
00:19:05.000 I mean, again, that's the dead giveaway.
00:19:06.000 If you want to take a cognitive test, we can all assume what the outcome of that test would be.
00:19:10.000 According to White House visitor logs reviewed by the New York Post, Dr. Kevin Kennard, a Parkinson's disease expert at Walter Reed Medical Center, met with Dr. Kevin O'Connor, a doctor of osteopathic medicine, who has treated the president for years.
00:19:21.000 The visit took place at the White House Residence Clinic, 17th of January.
00:19:25.000 Kennard has visited the White House eight times since August 2023.
00:19:31.000 You have a Parkinson's doctor visiting the White House eight times since August of 2023.
00:19:36.000 Meanwhile, we now know that Hunter Biden is the gatekeeper for the President of the United States.
00:19:42.000 According to Axios, we're now in uncharted historic waters.
00:19:46.000 President Biden, backed by First Lady Jill Biden and his convicted son Hunter, who's serving as de facto gatekeeper for longtime friends, says nothing besides an act of God will persuade him to quit his re-elect campaign.
00:19:57.000 I mean, that is a career trajectory right there.
00:19:59.000 Crack cocaine addict felon to gatekeeper for president of the United States.
00:20:04.000 All it takes is daddy in the White House.
00:20:06.000 Pretty amazing stuff.
00:20:07.000 And that's not the only leak.
00:20:09.000 According to Mediaite, documents prepared by staff for President Joe Biden ahead of public events were provided to Axios on Sunday, showing what one unnamed staffer described as a detailed verbal and visual instruction on how to enter and exit a room.
00:20:22.000 Axios reported on documents prepared for Biden ahead of events that included some extremely basic instructions with large print and photos that include his precise path to a podium.
00:20:31.000 The article includes two screenshots of the documents.
00:20:35.000 So they literally are giving him sheets that show a picture of his path from behind a curtain to a podium.
00:20:42.000 You know, I speak at events all the time.
00:20:43.000 I have never had to be provided an actual photo confirmation of how to get from point A, behind a curtain, to point B at a podium.
00:20:51.000 Somebody just comes backstage and says the podium is center stage.
00:20:53.000 End of story.
00:20:54.000 You don't have to provide me an actual picture.
00:20:57.000 But apparently they have to for Joe Biden.
00:21:00.000 And it gets worse.
00:21:02.000 So Joe Biden did a radio interview on Friday, and this was supposed to be another one of the examples of Joe Biden demonstrating that he has the stamina and he has the vitality to run this race.
00:21:12.000 And then the radio hosts admitted that they were given questions by Joe Biden's team to ask him directly.
00:21:18.000 By the way, the radio station then fired the radio host over the weekend.
00:21:21.000 Here was CNN's interview with the radio host.
00:21:26.000 You asked four questions, and maybe that's what you were allowed to ask by the campaign or the White House.
00:21:32.000 But they were essentially the same questions, both interviews, about accomplishments, progress in your respective state, what's at stake in the election, what he has to say about his debate performance, and what he would say to voters who think their vote doesn't matter or might sit this election out.
00:21:47.000 Were those questions given to you by the White House or did you have, or the campaign, or did you have to submit questions ahead of this interview?
00:21:58.000 The questions were sent to me for approval.
00:22:01.000 I approved them.
00:22:03.000 Okay, so the White House sent the questions to you ahead of the interview?
00:22:08.000 Yes.
00:22:11.000 Okay, what a disaster area.
00:22:12.000 So she told the truth about the fact that Joe Biden's team actually just gave her the questions and she got fired.
00:22:18.000 So telling the truth can be dangerous, but here is a dangerous truth.
00:22:21.000 Vegetables are unpleasant.
00:22:23.000 Take Brussels sprouts, for instance.
00:22:24.000 What are they?
00:22:25.000 Why are they?
00:22:27.000 I don't have to know that much about them, neither do you, with Balance of Nature Fruits and Veggies.

00:23:22.000 Meanwhile, by the way, Peter Baker, who's the Times' chief White House correspondent, says, according to the New York Times, that he has started using translation headsets on overseas trips to listen to Biden, okay, not to listen to, like, Emmanuel Macron, because he's speaking in French, to try to understand what Biden is saying, because he can be, like, five feet away from Biden and still not pick up exactly what Joe Biden is saying.
00:23:44.000 This is all a full-scale disaster, and again, it's nothing new.
00:23:47.000 It's nothing new.
00:23:47.000 This is the part that's amazing.
00:23:49.000 The media are acting shocked and appalled by everything that's happening right now.
00:23:52.000 The only thing they're shocked and appalled by is the fact that the Biden campaign put Biden so out front and center that it became obvious and apparent to everyone that he is in his declining phase of his sunset years.
00:24:03.000 You'll remember back in October 2023, Joe Biden walking around with note cards.
00:24:08.000 Remember this.
00:24:09.000 This is a picture of him holding note cards showing not only the name of the reporter he was going to call on, but her question.
00:24:17.000 Literally said question number one.
00:24:19.000 So when the radio host says we were provided questions, that's been going on four months.
00:24:24.000 In just March of this year, there was video of handlers removing the press from like basic scenarios with the president of the United States.
00:24:32.000 We're going to take a few questions.
00:24:36.000 Thank you.
00:24:37.000 Thank you so much.
00:24:38.000 Bye, guys.
00:24:39.000 Here are all the handlers pushing the press away.
00:24:42.000 Thank you.
00:24:45.000 Amazing.
00:24:46.000 Thank you.
00:24:47.000 Thank you.
00:24:48.000 We got to go.
00:24:49.000 Incredible job, staffers.
00:24:50.000 You're doing great.
00:24:52.000 For his part, as Jonathan Karl reports over at ABC News, Joe Biden seems unaware of the danger of this election.
00:24:57.000 He seems unaware that Democrats are abandoning him in droves.
00:25:00.000 And that's going to be the story of this week.
00:25:01.000 Again, Congress is back in session as of today.
00:25:03.000 When Congress comes back into session, there will be reporters all over the House, and they'll be asking every Democratic House member if they believe that Joe Biden is either sentient or whether he can beat Donald Trump.
00:25:14.000 It's going to be a disaster area for Joe Biden this week.
00:25:18.000 Biden looked better and certainly more coherent than he looked during the debate.
00:25:24.000 But there was nothing in this interview that is calming nerves of jittery Democrats who fear that Joe Biden is on a trajectory to lose this race, to lose to Donald Trump.
00:25:37.000 In fact, for some of those people, the interview is raising new concerns.
00:25:43.000 Particularly the fact that he is unwilling or unaware of the fact that he is in a dire situation here regarding the campaign, that he is losing in the view of many Democrats, and frankly, in the polls you cited, that he is losing to Donald Trump.
00:26:02.000 By the way, those polls currently show Donald Trump is up more than three points in the RealClearPolitics National 2A Average.
00:26:10.000 That's a blowout for Trump.
00:26:11.000 A blowout.
00:26:12.000 Because the Electoral College, again, favors Donald Trump.
00:26:15.000 They're a bunch of purple states where Donald Trump could win very slightly and lose the popular vote.
00:26:19.000 If Donald Trump wins the popular vote by, say, three or four points in this election cycle, he's going to win north of 310 electoral votes.
00:26:25.000 It's going to be a full-scale blowout.
00:26:27.000 So the panic has set in among Democrats.
00:26:30.000 According to Axios, a fast-growing number of Democrats are praying for and plotting a more earthly intervention.
00:26:36.000 As compared to Joe Biden saying that God is going to come down and tell him.
00:26:38.000 By the way, God already came down and told you in the form of you not being able to form sentences out of your face hole.
00:26:44.000 They want everyone from the Obamas to congressional leaders to beg Biden to drop out by Friday.
00:26:48.000 Biden does have a press conference scheduled for Thursday.
00:26:51.000 But Biden is vowing to stay.
00:26:52.000 And of course, Democratic lawmakers have gone from shock to sadness to madness since the debate 10 days ago.
00:26:57.000 These Democrats, further deflated by Biden's high-stakes ABC interview, believe there's nothing he can do to reverse the damage or his aging.
00:27:03.000 A House Democrat said, quote, the bleep is going to hit the fan on Monday when Congress returns.
00:27:06.000 People are scared about their own races.
00:27:07.000 They're also worried about the country and about democracy.
00:27:10.000 Lawmakers were antsy enough about Biden during their 4th of July break this past week that it'll be even greater torque when they're venting, raging, and plotting in person.
00:27:19.000 A top Democratic operative said, quote, Well, this whole election cycle might have you tossing and turning in bed at night.
00:27:29.000 That's just another reason you need my friends over at Bull & Branch.
00:27:32.000 Let me tell you, their stuff is awesome.
00:27:34.000 Ever slept too hot?
00:27:34.000 Like, this is my constant thing.

00:28:02.000 Like they're so good that I personally went into the local bowl and branch store here in Florida to buy extra stuff because I needed it like right now.
00:28:09.000 It's that good.

00:28:39.000 Meanwhile, David Axelrod wrote an opinion piece on Saturday beginning denial delusion defiance.
00:28:48.000 Essentially saying that Joe Biden is in full scale delusion mode if he believes that he can pull this out.
00:28:54.000 Here's Axelrod explicating that position on CNN.
00:28:58.000 He seems not to be able to compute the fact that people have these questions about him.
00:29:05.000 He said, I have, you know, when George Stephanopoulos asked him if he'd be willing to take a cognitive test.
00:29:11.000 He said, I take a cognitive test every day.
00:29:15.000 Well, the fact is, that may be true, but 75% of the American people think he failed.
00:29:21.000 They say he fails.
00:29:23.000 And so, this is a real problem for him, and it's something that shows up in every poll.
00:29:32.000 Joe Biden, for his part, is attempting to do direct outreach, which is quieting zero of the questions about him.
00:29:38.000 According to CBS News, the Biden-Harris campaign is stepping up its outreach to lawmakers amid growing calls for Biden to step down from the ticket.
00:29:44.000 Biden has personally made 20 calls to congressional members since last month's presidential debate in Atlanta.
00:29:49.000 Okay, 20 ain't gonna do it.
00:29:51.000 20 is not gonna do it.
00:29:52.000 He's got 200 Democratic members of the Congress.
00:29:55.000 And he's got 50 senators, so good luck with that, Mr. President.
00:29:58.000 Last week, the White House said the President spoke with several key allies, including Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, Speaker Emerita Nancy Pelosi, Representative Jim Clyburn of South Carolina, Senator Chris Coons of Delaware.
00:30:10.000 Very few of these people, by the way, are coming out in open defense.
00:30:12.000 According to Punchbowl News, which again, is maybe the best newsletter from Capitol Hill, by Jake Sherman, he says, the President's backing among Hill Democrats, especially inside the House Democratic Caucus, is slipping.
00:30:22.000 The questions at this point are whether that support completely collapses, and if it does, what Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer and House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries will do.
00:30:29.000 So far, the two top Democrats have said little.
00:30:31.000 Schumer said he backs Biden, while Jeffries acknowledged Biden's debate performance was bad, but added, quote, I believe a setback is nothing more than a setup for a comeback.
00:30:38.000 There's been some extravagant speculation that Schumer and Jeffries would somehow lead a high-level Democratic delegation to the White House and tell Biden he needs to step aside in favor of Vice President Kamala Harris.
00:30:48.000 That's all wildly premature.
00:30:49.000 We're nowhere near that yet.
00:30:50.000 What is fair to say?
00:30:52.000 is that there's a split among Democrats, House versus Senate, swing districts versus safe seats, veteran lawmakers versus their younger colleagues.
00:30:58.000 None of this falls along typical fault lines, however, which makes the situation incredibly difficult to read.
00:31:02.000 But it's clear Biden's support among Hill Democrats is tenuous at best.
00:31:07.000 Many Democrats are expressing strong doubts about whether Biden can win.
00:31:10.000 This includes Representative Jim Himes of Connecticut, Jamie Raskin of Maryland, Don Beyer of Virginia, who held a fundraiser with Biden and said during a call, quote, my perfect world is Joe, in deciding after talking to Leader Jeffries, Majority Leader Schumer, and others.
00:31:22.000 Steps aside now.
00:31:23.000 Let's Kamala run as the incumbent, which I think makes her even stronger.
00:31:26.000 With that, I'm a team player.
00:31:27.000 I'll do whatever the team wants.
00:31:29.000 He also said Biden has trouble putting two sentences together.
00:31:31.000 Then when he received a call from the White House, he backtracked and said, quote, I support President Biden.
00:31:36.000 So again, the chaos is absolutely setting in.
00:31:40.000 Politico reports, with Democratic lawmakers returning today from an incredibly well-timed congressional recess, a growing cadre among them is preparing to publicly urge Biden to call off his re-elect bid.
00:31:49.000 More than that, some want their leaders to nudge him out.
00:31:53.000 This is a full-scale disaster area for Joe Biden.
00:31:56.000 Jonathan Martin has a look at how Biden sees a path out of the wilderness.
00:32:00.000 Basically, he's going to keep doubling down on upper-crust white liberals and black Democrats.
00:32:06.000 He believes that he's going to get the support of African-American Democrats and Union allies.
00:32:10.000 And meanwhile, he's going to try to portray all of the Obama types as sort of out of touch.
00:32:15.000 But a bunch of Democrats, including Judiciary Chief Jerry Nadler, are questioning whether Biden can prosecute the case against Donald Trump.
00:32:23.000 Adam Smith, Democrat of Washington, insisted that Biden could not fix the damage that was already done.
00:32:29.000 Adam Schiff says that he is concerned that Joe Biden could lose them House seats.
00:32:34.000 When I talk to Democrats, one of the exchanges that frustrated the most from that interview on Friday was when he was asked, what happens if you lose?
00:32:43.000 President Biden said it's about whether he gave it his all.
00:32:47.000 Is that what it's about?
00:32:48.000 Is that answer satisfying to you?
00:32:50.000 No, that is the answer that most concerned me as well.
00:32:53.000 There are concerns with the impact on down-ballot races if the president doesn't do well.
00:32:57.000 Is he dragging down down-ballot races as we speak?
00:33:00.000 You know, at present, our down-ballot candidates in the Senate and House are doing well.
00:33:06.000 They're all ahead.
00:33:08.000 They are running well ahead of the President.
00:33:10.000 But you can only run so far ahead of the President.
00:33:15.000 Okay, that is Adam Schiff.
00:33:16.000 He's a Democratic Party man, for sure.
00:33:19.000 Now, there is blowback from some other Democrats.
00:33:21.000 There's a split inside the Democratic Party, because here's the thing.
00:33:23.000 If you can't force Joe Biden out, then you're gonna have to backtrack on all this stuff, right?
00:33:28.000 All these Democrats are like, that dude's senile.
00:33:29.000 He can't beat Donald Trump.
00:33:30.000 I mean, forget about beating Donald Trump.
00:33:32.000 If he's senile, he shouldn't be president of the United States.
00:33:35.000 He should be 25th amendmenting him.
00:33:37.000 He's the most powerful man in the world, and his brain does not function properly, and he makes jokes about his brain not functioning properly, as he did last week.
00:33:46.000 One thing that is obvious to everyone is that if Joe Biden were leading by 10 points in the polls right now, Democrats would still be maintaining that he is perfectly healthy.
00:33:53.000 So the real problem is that people saw the thing.
00:33:56.000 The emperor's new clothes were revealed not to exist.
00:33:59.000 The emperor is naked.
00:34:01.000 If Democrats thought that Joe Biden could win, they would still be foisting that dead body on that horse like El Cid.
00:34:06.000 They would be doing that.
00:34:08.000 They're not doing that because they're looking at the poll numbers, but there are still Democrats who are still hedging because they're smart enough to realize that if you can't force Joe Biden out of the race, and Joe Biden, all he has to do is solve for time here.
00:34:18.000 No one can make Joe Biden leave the race.
00:34:20.000 There's no one.
00:34:21.000 If Joe Biden plants his feet and somehow gets someone to prop him up and just stands there, no one can make him leave.
00:34:29.000 Understand that the deadline on this is coming up really, really, really fast.
00:34:34.000 The day of the debate.
00:34:36.000 Which is now some 10 days ago.
00:34:37.000 There were 40 days left to replace Biden on the ticket.
00:34:40.000 We are now at like 30 days left to replace Biden on the ticket.
00:34:44.000 After that, he is locked in, right?
00:34:46.000 He is the nominee.
00:34:49.000 Now, again, he could theoretically resign the nomination even after he was formally nominated sometime in October or something.
00:34:55.000 So it wouldn't be the end of the story.
00:34:56.000 The ticket would still appear as the ticket and Kamala Harris would be the person who wins the election.
00:35:00.000 With that said, if he wants to stick this thing out, all he has to do is stick this thing out for another 30 days and all the questions go away and Democrats then have to rally around the flag.
00:35:09.000 Here's an MSNBC panel in defense of Joe Biden claiming everything is hunky-dory.
00:35:14.000 I would suggest that the response of that very small number of Democrats who have really come out after the president and some of the media folks that have really come down on him since the election have done more damage and more harm than the president himself did during that debate.
00:35:33.000 It is naive to think that at this point in the process, you can switch candidates and still defeat Donald Trump.
00:35:40.000 I really wish the Democrats would understand exactly what they're doing right now to their opportunity this November, four months from now.
00:35:48.000 I've just never seen such an absolute creation of a wasteland around a candidate by his own people.
00:35:59.000 Okay, in one second, we'll get to more of Democrats who are now trying to defend Joe Biden in the face of all of this.
00:36:06.000 But folks, again, as I've mentioned, Kamala Harris is now the most important person in the country because she's very likely to be either the person who replaces Biden on the ticket.
00:36:16.000 If Biden steps down, it's gonna be her.
00:36:17.000 If Biden steps down from the presidency, it will be President Kamala Harris.
00:36:20.000 If he were to win the election, certainly she would fill out his second term, which means that she is the most undermentioned person in America right now, and nobody knows anything about her other than she's kind of obnoxious and inauthentic.
00:36:31.000 But now you can find out everything you need to know about her.
00:36:34.000 Scamala, Kamala Harris Unmasked, is my new three-part series.
00:36:37.000 We're bringing you a live, free premiere tonight, 7 Eastern, Daily Wire+.
00:36:41.000 You want to be able to tell all your friends what it is about Kamala Harris that's the problem?
00:36:44.000 This is the series that gives you all the information.
00:36:47.000 It's a deep dive all the way into her history, all the way up till today.
00:36:50.000 I will be with you for the premiere.
00:36:52.000 I'll be doing a real-time live chat with you as it premieres tonight at Daily Wire+.
00:36:56.000 I've been digging deep into Kamala Harris' past, exposing the truth that the legacy media have largely been ignoring.
00:37:01.000 From our calculated climb in California politics to our catastrophic vice presidency, I leave no stone unturned.
00:37:07.000 Every scandal, every gaffe, every radical policy, it's all in there.
00:37:10.000 I'm talking backroom deals, failed presidential campaigns, a vice presidency in chaos, the lies, the inauthenticity, the lack of any centralizing principle.
00:37:18.000 It's a lot worse than you even think.
00:37:20.000 Let's take a look at the trailer for Scamala, Kamala Harris Unmasked.
00:37:24.000 Kamala Harris is a hair's breadth from the Oval Office.
00:37:27.000 She's so bad.
00:37:29.000 You're so pathetic.
00:37:30.000 But how did she get here?
00:37:31.000 How did someone with such a knack for failure manage to climb the greasy pole to the precipice of the most powerful position in the world?
00:37:38.000 We did it!
00:37:39.000 We did it, Joan!
00:37:41.000 In this documentary podcast, we're peeling back the layers of Kamala Harris' career, exposing the scandals, the missteps, and the awkwardness that have come to define her journey.
00:37:49.000 Because here's the ugly truth.
00:37:51.000 Kamala Harris is a scam artist, and that scam artist is now a hair's breadth from the Oval Office, where her incompetence and inauthenticity aren't just a problem, they're a dangerous existential issue for the United States.
00:38:02.000 Join me in this exclusive three-part series, Scamala!
00:38:05.000 Kamala Harris Unmasked.
00:38:07.000 Stream episode one live tonight, 7 p.m.
00:38:09.000 Eastern, on Daily Wire+.
00:38:10.000 Discover the benefits of becoming a member to support our mission to fight the left and build the future.
00:38:18.000 Folks, let's be clear.
00:38:19.000 Kamala Harris is the most important person in American politics right now.
00:38:24.000 Because either she's going to succeed to Biden now or later if he wins.
00:38:27.000 The left does not want you to know about her.
00:38:29.000 That's part of the game.
00:38:30.000 So, Skamala, Kamala Harris Unmasked, it premieres live and free tonight, 7 p.m.
00:38:34.000 Eastern, only at Daily Wire+.
00:38:35.000 I'll be there with you, breaking down the facts, taking your questions in real time.
00:38:38.000 You don't want to be the only one who missed it.
00:38:40.000 Okay, meanwhile.
00:38:41.000 Now again, there are a bunch of Democrats who are looking at Joe Biden and they're figuring we can't push this guy out.
00:38:46.000 Like if he doesn't want to go, he ain't going to go.
00:38:47.000 And in fact, Joe Biden has, as of Monday morning, put out yet another message saying that he is telling you he's not going.
00:38:55.000 Again, this is just dream girls.
00:38:56.000 He's not going to go unless something changes.
00:38:59.000 But but here's the thing.
00:39:00.000 It can feel the pressure.
00:39:01.000 He can he can say he's not going until literally the moment he decides to go.
00:39:04.000 Right.
00:39:05.000 It's a completely binary decision here.
00:39:07.000 He has put out a lengthy letter to congressional Democrats saying that he is not going to drop out of the race.
00:39:12.000 He says, quote, We are the ones lowering costs for families from healthcare to prescription drugs to student debt to housing.
00:39:18.000 We are standing up for American democracy.
00:39:20.000 After January 6th, Trump has proven he is unfit to ever hold the office of president.
00:39:23.000 We can never allow him anywhere near that office again and we never will.
00:39:26.000 The question of how to move forward has been well aired for over a week now.
00:39:29.000 We have one job and that is to beat Donald Trump.
00:39:29.000 It's time for it to end.
00:39:32.000 We have 42 days to the Democratic convention and 119 days to the general election.
00:39:36.000 Any weakening of resolve or lack of clarity about the task ahead only helps Trump and hurts us.
00:39:40.000 It's time to come together, move forward as a unified party and defeat Donald Trump.
00:39:43.000 So he's basically saying, Everybody shut up.
00:39:45.000 Just shut up.
00:39:45.000 Just stop.
00:39:46.000 And Democrats, some of them, are obeying his orders.
00:39:49.000 That would include Senator Chris Murphy of Connecticut, who says, don't worry, he doesn't need a cognitive test.
00:39:53.000 He needs a cognitive test, by the way.
00:39:56.000 I don't really know what the substance of those tests are, whether the measurement would be impactful for voters that have questions.
00:40:03.000 I think it's much more important for the president to be in a conversation with voters this week in an unscripted way to show that he is still the old Joe Biden.
00:40:14.000 I think that would be a much more effective way to answer people's questions than some medical test.
00:40:21.000 Do you believe that at this point Joe Biden could beat Donald Trump and stop the litany of things that you just listed from happening?
00:40:30.000 Oh, absolutely.
00:40:34.000 Okay, now he's shaking his head.
00:40:36.000 Well, he says, absolutely.
00:40:38.000 Because Democrats don't actually believe this.
00:40:40.000 But again, the comedy cavalcade that is the Democratic Party is split right down the middle.
00:40:45.000 You have a bunch of people who are saying, no, no, no, he has to stay.
00:40:47.000 And then you have a bunch of people who are sotto voce, under the breath, saying he's got to go.
00:40:52.000 So some of the people who are saying that he has to stay are people like Representative Debbie Dingell.
00:40:55.000 Just last week, she was pointing out that he's basically losing it.
00:40:57.000 Now she says we have his back.
00:41:01.000 I had people in parades shout at me, tell him to stay, we have his back.
00:41:07.000 Union halls, why are people saying this?
00:41:09.000 I mean, I really do think that as much as you're hearing a lot of different opinions
00:41:14.000 from other people, that's what's happening.
00:41:16.000 Representative Jasmine Crockett doing the same routine from Texas.
00:41:19.000 She says we have to rally behind him because if we don't, Trump's going to win.
00:41:24.000 The difference between the Democrats and the Republicans could not be more stark in so
00:41:27.000 many ways.
00:41:29.000 One of those ways that I think about is the fact that even those Democrats that are calling for the president to step aside, they're not calling for the president to step aside because they think that Joe Biden's a terrible person, because they think that he's a failure.
00:41:41.000 They're calling for him to step aside because they are scared.
00:41:45.000 The only thing that I'm asking everyone to do is to unite around the ticket.
00:41:50.000 The ticket at this point in time is Biden and Harris.
00:41:54.000 And so long as the president says that he can do this job, then that is our ticket.
00:42:00.000 Okay, notice the present tense there.
00:42:01.000 He is the president.
00:42:03.000 I mean, that's true, right now.
00:42:05.000 Bernie Sanders was called out of the woodwork.
00:42:07.000 And what's amazing about Bernie Sanders is that Bernie is the same age as Joe Biden, right?
00:42:11.000 Bernie Sanders, right now, is 82.
00:42:13.000 He's a year older than Joe Biden.
00:42:15.000 But he sounds way more alive than Joe Biden, right?
00:42:17.000 Here's Bernie in defense of Joe Biden, a man one year younger than he is.
00:42:22.000 What we are talking about now is not a Grammy Award contest for best singer.
00:42:28.000 Biden is old.
00:42:30.000 He's not as articulate as he once was.
00:42:33.000 I wish he could jump up the steps on Air Force One.
00:42:36.000 He can't.
00:42:36.000 What we have got to focus on is policy.
00:42:40.000 President Biden can clearly defeat Donald Trump, the most dangerous president in the history of this country.
00:42:46.000 And the choice is quite clear.
00:42:50.000 Now, it is worth pointing out at this point that according to the RealClearPolitics polling average, Trump is ahead in Arizona by 5, in Nevada by 5, in Wisconsin by 2, in Michigan by 1, in Pennsylvania by almost 5, in Georgia by 4.
00:43:02.000 These are terrible numbers for Joe Biden.
00:43:05.000 That is the real reason why you're seeing all of this heartburn.
00:43:07.000 The other problem that Democrats have is that there's no sure answer to the question as to whether replacing him on the ticket with Kamala Harris would actually be good.
00:43:15.000 Now, Kamala is hedging her bets.
00:43:17.000 She did an appearance over the weekend.
00:43:19.000 This is probably the most significant election of our lifetime.
00:43:21.000 Wenga, who looks like an outtake from Hunger Games, in which she studiously avoided mentioning Joe
00:43:29.000 Biden's name. Because let's be real about this, half the leaks from the White House are probably
00:43:33.000 coming from Kamala Harris's office, where she plays solitaire and leaks about Joe Biden all day.
00:43:37.000 This is probably the most significant election of our lifetime.
00:43:41.000 You know, we have said it every four years. But this here one is it.
00:43:47.000 We are looking at an election that will take place in the 122!
00:43:51.000 122 days. 122. Where on one side you have the former president who is running to
00:44:02.000 become president again, who has openly talked about his admiration of dictators
00:44:07.000 and his intention to be a dictator on day one.
00:44:10.000 Who has openly talked about his intention to weaponize the Department of Justice against his political enemies.
00:44:18.000 They've literally weaponized the DOJ against them, by the way.
00:44:20.000 In 122 days!
00:44:21.000 We each have the power to decide what kind of country we want to live in.
00:44:28.000 Okay, she's so radically inauthentic.
00:44:30.000 Again, go check out our three-part podcast series, our three-part documentary series tonight, Scamala, Kamala Harris Unmasked, 7 p.m.
00:44:39.000 Eastern premieres over at Daily Wire Plus.
00:44:41.000 I'll be live chatting with you.
00:44:42.000 We go through everything with regard to Kamala Harris because we are now in the middle of 90-second look at Kamala Harris.
00:44:47.000 Because the reality is this campaign is now about her.
00:44:49.000 It's not about Joe Biden's future.
00:44:50.000 He has no future.
00:44:51.000 As of the year 2025, whether he is elected or whether he is not elected, he will not be president anymore.
00:44:56.000 And we all know this, which means that she would be the president of the United States.
00:44:59.000 So the media are already starting to sort of dredge up some fake enthusiasm for her.
00:45:05.000 And no one has enthusiasm for Kamala Harris.
00:45:07.000 Remember, she ran a horrible presidential campaign where she failed so dramatically, she had to drop out before her home state of California, despite the fact that very early on she was actually leading the race.
00:45:16.000 Then she was out in the political wilderness until George Floyd died, at which point Joe Biden, in an act of political desperation, picked her because he needed a black woman on the ticket.
00:45:23.000 Now we're all supposed to forget, by the way, that she was picked because she was a black woman.
00:45:27.000 I love this idiot game that the media love to play, where they say out loud, she was picked because she's a black woman, and it's very, very historic that she's a black woman.
00:45:34.000 And then when we say, that's racist to pick her because she's a black woman.
00:45:38.000 That she's a DEI candidate, meaning that she was picked for diversity, equity, and inclusion, not out of merit, not because she was the best person for VP, not because she was the most qualified person to be a hair's breadth from the presidency, but because she was a black woman, and Joe Biden said it at the time.
00:45:50.000 If you note that, it's now racist.
00:45:52.000 So Nina Turner, who is a former Bernie Sanders surrogate, tweeted out, this is racism.
00:45:59.000 Why?
00:45:59.000 Because the New York Post tweeted out a headline, America may soon be subjected to the country's first DEI president, Kamala Harris.
00:46:04.000 That's not racist.
00:46:05.000 Joe Biden literally said it.
00:46:07.000 Judd Legumagumagumagum, who is a pseudo journalist, he put out a tweet saying,
00:46:12.000 I guess we are now using DEI as a replacement for racial slurs.
00:46:16.000 No, we're saying that she was appointed because of her race because Joe Biden said she was appointed because of her
00:46:20.000 race.
00:46:21.000 Gavin Newsom, governor of California, who is desperately sad
00:46:25.000 that he is not the vice president right now, he tweeted out, Joe Biden is our next president
00:46:29.000 and this is straight up racist.
00:46:30.000 Both of those two things are false.
00:46:33.000 One of my favorite things about the games that the left plays with regard to race
00:46:36.000 is it's like the most, it's the world's dumbest version of who's on first.
00:46:41.000 Truly, it's like an idiot version of who's on first.
00:46:43.000 The old Abbott and Costello routine where they're going back and forth about the player who plays first base for the local team, his name is who?
00:46:51.000 Who?
00:46:51.000 Yeah, his name is who, right?
00:46:53.000 That's the Democrat Party with regard to this sort of stuff.
00:46:57.000 Biden says something like, I'm selecting a black woman for my VP.
00:47:00.000 And the GOP's like, that's racist.
00:47:01.000 And Democrats are like, no, that's racist.
00:47:03.000 And the GOP's like, what is?
00:47:05.000 And Democrats say, it's saying it's racist to select a black woman VP.
00:47:08.000 GOP's like, but that's literally racist to select a woman black VP just because of her characteristics.
00:47:14.000 And Dems are like, what is racist?
00:47:16.000 And GOP's like racism.
00:47:17.000 And Democrats are like, wrong.
00:47:18.000 Racism is not racist.
00:47:20.000 Nothing.
00:47:21.000 Noticing racism is actually the racist thing.
00:47:23.000 Third base.
00:47:25.000 It's so stupid and ridiculous.
00:47:26.000 But this is the game that Democrats are now playing about Kamala Harris and they have to because she stinks.
00:47:30.000 She is terrible at her job.
00:47:33.000 This is one reason, I would assume, why the New York Times' Ezra Klein is like, maybe we should do a mini-primary instead.
00:47:38.000 Now, she ain't that great.
00:47:40.000 In an interview on CNN, Clyburn said on Wednesday, if Biden leaves the race, the party should hold a mini-primary.
00:47:44.000 He said, you can actually fashion the process that's already in place to make it a mini-primary.
00:47:47.000 I'd support that absolutely.
00:47:49.000 We can't close that down.
00:47:50.000 We should open up everything for the general election.
00:47:52.000 I think Kamala Harris would acquit herself very well in that kind of a process, but then it would be fair to everybody.
00:47:56.000 That's Jim Clyburn going, I don't like Kamala Harris.
00:47:57.000 Nobody likes Kamala Harris.
00:47:59.000 There's a reason you should not like Kamala Harris.

00:48:05.000 Eastern, over at Daily Wire+.
00:48:08.000 The problem for Kamala Harris is, of course, her being Kamala Harris, because she's really not all that intelligent.
00:48:14.000 Like, she's constantly saying dumb things.
00:48:16.000 But you know what else is dumb?
00:48:17.000 Not getting life insurance.

00:49:18.000 Meanwhile, Donald Trump is playing it very smart in this campaign.
00:49:21.000 Again, I think the incentive structures and the way Donald Trump thinks about campaigns has changed in 2024.
00:49:25.000 In 2016, Trump thought there was no way he was going to win, so he said anything he wanted to say.
00:49:30.000 In 2020, Trump thought there was no way he could lose, so he could say anything he wanted to say.
00:49:33.000 In 2024, he's being very, very careful.
00:49:36.000 So that's one reason why, for example, he's been out ripping on Project 2025.
00:49:39.000 Because Democrats have been going after the Heritage Foundation's Project 2025.
00:49:44.000 And so Trump came back and said, I don't like it, which is a great way to take it off the table in the same way that he's now taken abortion off the table for Democrats.
00:49:50.000 Now he's begging Joe Biden to stay in the race.
00:49:53.000 He put a post out on truth social saying crooked Joe Biden should ignore his many critics and move forward with alacrity and strength with his powerful and far reaching campaign.
00:50:00.000 He should be sharp, precise and energetic, just like he was in the debate and selling his policies of open borders.
00:50:04.000 where millions of people, including record numbers of terrorists, are allowed to enter our country
00:50:07.000 from prisons and mental institutions totally unchecked and unvetted, to ending social security,
00:50:11.000 men playing in women's sports, high taxes, high interest rates, encouraging a woke military,
00:50:15.000 uncontrollable inflation, record-setting crime, only electric vehicles, subservience to China
00:50:18.000 and other countries, endless wars, putting America last, losing our dollar-based standard,
00:50:21.000 and so much more. Yes, Sleepy Joe should continue his campaign of American destruction
00:50:26.000 and make China great again. I have no notes. He is correct about all of that.
00:50:33.000 Meanwhile, the Veep stakes are ongoing in Trump land.
00:50:36.000 So Trump was supposed to announce a VP candidate this week.
00:50:38.000 He ain't going to do that.
00:50:38.000 He's going to wait until right before the RNC now, because why interrupt Democrats while they're in the middle of melting down?
00:50:44.000 The three top candidates for the VP, according to many reports at this point, are Doug Burgum, who is the governor of North Dakota, J.D.
00:50:52.000 Vance, the senator from Ohio, and Marco Rubio, the senator from Florida, all of them made appearances on the weekend shows.
00:50:57.000 Here was Doug Burgum making his case for why he ought to be Donald Trump's VP.
00:51:03.000 If you were put on the ticket as vice president, what would you bring to that ticket?
00:51:08.000 Well, Larry, I appreciate that the question, but I think, again, there's one person that gets to decide.
00:51:14.000 That's President Trump.
00:51:15.000 He's going to make a great decision.
00:51:16.000 He's going to figure out at the time of his choosing among a bunch of great candidates who's going to bring what he needs for the for the country.
00:51:24.000 And he'll choose the right governing partner.
00:51:26.000 He'll choose the right person that can help him win an election.
00:51:29.000 And then the thing that that We've been focused on, I've been focused on, I think every American should focus on, is getting President Trump elected.
00:51:40.000 So, Burgum, again, is doing what it takes to become Donald Trump's vice president.
00:51:44.000 He's basically just saying, I support the guy.
00:51:46.000 This is the attraction of Doug Burgum to Donald Trump, is that Doug Burgum does not make any sort of headlines.
00:51:51.000 Doug Burgum will presumably do some sort of debate with Kamala Harris if she's not the nominee.
00:51:57.000 That vice presidential debate will solve very few questions for the Democrats.
00:52:02.000 Burgum will acquit himself fine against Kamala Harris.
00:52:04.000 Mike Pence acquitted himself fine against Kamala Harris.
00:52:07.000 And he won't be a giant, huge distraction on the campaign trail.
00:52:11.000 The same probably cannot be said for J.D.
00:52:13.000 Vance, who's drawing all sorts of attention right now.
00:52:15.000 J.D.
00:52:15.000 is a super smart guy.
00:52:16.000 We've had him on the show before, the author of Hillbilly Elegy, Senator from Ohio.
00:52:20.000 He has moved in a significantly more economically populist direction, also in terms of foreign policy, over the course of the last four years.
00:52:27.000 With that said, he's obviously a super smart guy, J.D.
00:52:31.000 He's very aggressive.
00:52:32.000 And Senator Vance is becoming the focus of a lot of media attention.
00:52:36.000 In my opinion, that's the reason why Trump is less likely to pick him, is because Vance draws more fire.
00:52:42.000 And Donald Trump doesn't actually want anybody on the ticket who draws fire.
00:52:44.000 He would like the entire focus not to be on the evil dangers of Project 2025, J.D.
00:52:48.000 Vance, and the reshift of the Republican Party.
00:52:52.000 Vance, in other words, has a very strong brand.
00:52:54.000 That is not true of, say, Doug Burgum.
00:52:56.000 Here was J.D.
00:52:56.000 Vance over the weekend.
00:52:59.000 Let me, I have to ask you about Veep Steaks, of course.
00:53:02.000 Have you gotten the call from Donald Trump?
00:53:03.000 Has he asked you to be his running mate?
00:53:05.000 I have not gotten the call, Kristen, and I'll certainly, you know, maybe not the first person that I'd let know if that happened, but we'll let the media know if I ever get that call.
00:53:14.000 But most importantly, Kristen, we're just trying to work to elect Donald Trump.
00:53:17.000 Whoever his vice president is, he's got a lot of good people he could choose from.
00:53:20.000 It's the policies that worked and the leadership style that worked for the American people.
00:53:25.000 I think we have to bring that back to the White House, and I'm fighting to try to do that.
00:53:30.000 Okay, so that's J.D.
00:53:31.000 Vance, another one of the contenders, and then meanwhile you have Marco Rubio, who is making his own case.
00:53:35.000 Now, the Rubio case is very good, right?
00:53:38.000 He is not perceived as supremely controversial.
00:53:43.000 Rubio is obviously a Latino person, which means presumably that Trump will try to use him as outreach to the Latino community.
00:53:50.000 The big problem for Rubio is that Rubio is a resident of Florida, so he actually has to change his residence in order to become VP, because otherwise Donald Trump forfeits the state of Florida's votes.
00:53:58.000 You're not allowed to have a president and a vice president together from the same state, or the votes in that state go away.
00:54:04.000 So Rubio would have to change his residency presumably to someplace like Nevada.
00:54:09.000 Here he was over the weekend.
00:54:11.000 He has repeatedly said that his revenge will be to make America great again, to undo all their bad public policies.
00:54:18.000 By the way, he was president for four years.
00:54:20.000 He didn't go after Hillary Clinton.
00:54:21.000 He didn't go after Joe Biden.
00:54:23.000 He didn't go after Barack Obama.
00:54:24.000 He didn't go after any other consultants.
00:54:25.000 So you feel comfortable.
00:54:26.000 You're telling me right now... We didn't see under him what we're seeing now.
00:54:28.000 You're telling me right now that a second Trump administration would not go after any Democrats, any of his political opponents, full stop.
00:54:38.000 You have confidence that that wouldn't happen?
00:54:42.000 Yeah.
00:54:43.000 He was president before and he didn't do it then.
00:54:45.000 He's already said that he wouldn't do that.
00:54:48.000 He'll be too busy undoing all the damage of this disastrous presidency.
00:54:53.000 Again, Rubio is very smooth.
00:54:55.000 He's a good talker.
00:54:56.000 He's excellent in defense.
00:54:58.000 And he will bring in, you presume, more Latino votes.
00:55:00.000 So Rubio might be the frontrunner.
00:55:02.000 But those are the final three right now, apparently.
00:55:04.000 Berkum, Vance, and Rubio, according to all of the major reports.
00:55:08.000 Okay, now, big news from France.
00:55:11.000 So France is melting down.
00:55:12.000 The reason that France is melting down is because Emmanuel Macron, who is the leader of the so-called centrist party, decided that he was going to effectively throw this election to the far-left communists in France.
00:55:22.000 The far-left communists in France are full-on apologists for terrorism.
00:55:27.000 That would be the party of Mélenchon.
00:55:30.000 That particular party is far-left.
00:55:32.000 They're like Bernie Sanders or Jeremy Corbyn.
00:55:34.000 That's how far-left they are.
00:55:36.000 He has called French Jews, quote, an arrogant minority that lectures to the rest.
00:55:40.000 He's refused to condemn October 7th.
00:55:42.000 He's refused to call Hamas a terrorist group.
00:55:44.000 He praises Hugo Chavez and Nicolas Maduro.
00:55:47.000 He cheered Vladimir Putin's invasion of Crimea.
00:55:50.000 That's who Melenchon is.
00:55:52.000 And his party just won the largest share of seats in the French National Assembly.
00:55:56.000 According to the Wall Street Journal, a coalition of leftist parties won the most seats in France's parliamentary elections, a stunning come-from-behind victory fueled by a groundswell of opposition to Marine Le Pen's anti-immigrant forces.
00:56:06.000 The New Popular Front, a coalition of parties that includes socialists, Greens, and far-left France Unbowed, So what actually happened here?
00:56:11.000 So, there are two rounds of the election.
00:56:13.000 The way that it works is there's a first round, and then the top two candidates in any particular district run against each other in the second round.
00:56:18.000 The party of President Emmanuel Macron and its allies won 163 seats.
00:56:22.000 La Penza National Rally and its allies scored 143 seats.
00:56:26.000 So what actually happened here?
00:56:27.000 So there are two rounds of the election.
00:56:29.000 The way that it works is there's a first round, and then the top two candidates in any particular district
00:56:35.000 run against each other in the second round.
00:56:37.000 So they sort of have run-offs.
00:56:39.000 Macron decided to side with the left instead of with the right.
00:56:42.000 Instead of siding with National Rally, he went to his own party.
00:56:45.000 He said in any election where we are currently coming in third, or second even, if we're coming in second, but we're gonna lose to Le Pen's party, we'll drop out and throw our support to the left-wing candidate.
00:56:56.000 In Melanchon's party.
00:56:58.000 So we'd rather have Melanchon win the biggest share rather than letting National Rally win the biggest share or a majority in the French National Assembly.
00:57:04.000 So he made the overt choice to side with actual communists rather than National Rally led by Marine Le Pen because she's anti-immigration.
00:57:12.000 Despite the fact that National Rally actually happens to be a party that, for example, does not hate France as opposed to Melanchon's party which actually does hate France and is perfectly fine and actually quite good with open immigration particularly from radical Muslim countries.
00:57:26.000 The actual French results are absolutely bizarre.
00:57:29.000 If you look at the popular vote result in these elections, National Rally and its allies won 37.3% of all the votes.
00:57:36.000 Macron and his allies won 22.3% of all the votes.
00:57:40.000 New Popular Front, which is the far left, won 26.9% of all the votes.
00:57:45.000 Which means that National Rally by far had the largest popular vote turnout.
00:57:49.000 Didn't matter, they won 142 seats.
00:57:52.000 New Popular Front won 178 seats.
00:57:53.000 Again, that's because of the coordination between Macron and Mélenchon.
00:57:59.000 Again, this is Emmanuel Macron's fault.
00:58:02.000 Emmanuel Macron decided that the right was so dangerous that they could only be stopped by the communists.
00:58:08.000 And so he decided to throw his support in swing districts, effectively, to the communists, such that even though the party with the largest number of votes was National Rally, they ended up with the third largest number of seats in the National Assembly.
00:58:22.000 Which is kind of reminiscent of what just happened in the UK, where the Conservatives won about 24% of the vote share, and Reform, which is Nigel Farage's party, also on the right, won 14%, so that's 38%.
00:58:33.000 Labour only won 34%, but they ended up with 65% of all the seats in the Parliament.
00:58:38.000 So again, the system is very weird in both France and the UK.
00:58:43.000 In any case, Melenchon's big victory last night led to, wait for it, riots, of course.
00:58:49.000 The French left, they were going to riot whether they won or they lost because this is what they do, because they hate the country and they actually wish to see it burn down.
00:58:56.000 So they rioted even after they won.
00:58:58.000 According to GB News, following the surprising exit poll, tens of thousands of left-wing supporters gathered in Paris' Place de la République to celebrate the victory of the alliance in the snap election.
00:59:09.000 Demonstrators set fireworks alight, lit flares, and climbed the statue of France's beloved Marianne, which is the French Republic's symbolic personification of liberty, égalité, fraternité.
00:59:20.000 Riot police were deployed to the scene.
00:59:22.000 Tear gas was fired into the crowd.
00:59:24.000 The crowd remained jubilant and continued to chant, young people screw the national front.
00:59:30.000 Apparently some 30,000 riot police, including 5,000 in Paris, had to be deployed to ensure that the radical right and radical left do not take advantage of the situation.
00:59:36.000 But not a lot of evidence that the radical right was out burning things down last night.
00:59:42.000 There's a lot of unrest from the radical left because any excuse to burn things down, and they will do it now.
00:59:48.000 Marine Le Pen and her party, she says we'll get them next time because we won the largest share of votes.
00:59:53.000 The problem is, if the centrists side with the radical left, they've made a choice.
00:59:57.000 That is, in fact, a choice.
00:59:58.000 They are no longer centrists.
00:59:59.000 They are fellow travelers with the communists.
01:00:01.000 And the media, of course, focus all their ire on Marine Le Pen and the so-called radical right in France while ignoring the evils and hypocrisies of the radical left communist side in France.
01:00:11.000 Here is Christiane Amanpour, who's legitimately the worst reporter in major news.
01:00:15.000 She is a liar.
01:00:16.000 She is awful.
01:00:17.000 Here she was, trying to label Marine Le Pen far-right on the basis of the fact that she's anti-immigration.
01:00:24.000 I strongly dispute the term far-right, which in your country refers to small groups that are extremely radical and violent.
01:00:33.000 If you like the equivalent... You don't think you're far-right?
01:00:38.000 The equivalent of what we are in the United States is between the center-right and the center-left with regards to ideas.
01:00:47.000 So I think this... You're kidding me, right?
01:00:49.000 Yes.
01:00:50.000 Yes, I'm telling you very honestly.
01:00:52.000 I think this use of the term far-right carries a stigma and is very pejorative.
01:01:01.000 She's right, of course, but Christiane Amanpour pretending that you're kidding me right is an actual journalistic question is an absurdity.
01:01:07.000 So what exactly are the communists promising, the New Popular Front?
01:01:10.000 They are promising to lower the retirement age to 60.
01:01:14.000 So France is already bankrupt.
01:01:15.000 They want to lower the retirement age from its current 64 to 60.
01:01:21.000 They want to reinstate a wealth tax.
01:01:23.000 The wealth tax in France was such a failure that France had to revise itself and then go back and redo it.
01:01:27.000 Dole out more housing benefits and boost public sector wages, linking them to inflation.
01:01:32.000 So to jack up the inflation in France, they're going to now link public sector wages with the inflation, so you have a wage price spiral in France.
01:01:38.000 The measures would cost 100 billion euros in 2025.
01:01:40.000 That's $108 billion.
01:01:44.000 Mélenchon said, the new Popular Front will apply its program, nothing but its program.
01:01:47.000 And this is the fault of Emmanuel Macron.
01:01:51.000 So the current Prime Minister of France, who has very little power, the President of France has a lot of power.
01:01:55.000 He's part of the Macron party.
01:01:57.000 He offered his resignation on Monday.
01:01:59.000 Macron asked him to remain temporarily to ensure the country's stability.
01:02:02.000 Totally unclear what happens now, because usually in France, one party or the other wins a majority in the National Assembly.
01:02:07.000 That didn't happen.
01:02:08.000 So now there's gonna have to be some weird coalition.
01:02:12.000 Instead of bringing clarity, as the Wall Street Journal points out, Macron's maneuver has driven the country into political fog.
01:02:16.000 Avoiding a hung parliament will be hard, and a lower house divided in three by large blocs with diametrically opposed agendas.
01:02:22.000 Former President François Hollande, who is a disaster area, a socialist who was elected Sunday, told French TV he expected Macron to meet with the heads of the major political parties and try to find a path through territory he described as uncharted.
01:02:34.000 Again, all of this was because Macron would not impose any restrictions in serious ways on immigration that led to the rise of the right-wing party in France.
01:02:43.000 And just like in the UK, there was then a rebellion by the left that ended up siding with the centrists.
01:02:49.000 The results for France and the UK are going to be absolutely disastrous, by the way.
01:02:54.000 Following the success of the right-wing National Rally Party in Sunday's first round of France parliamentary election, The Grand Synagogue of Paris Chief Rabbi Moshe Sabag cast doubt on the future of Jews in France.
01:03:05.000 He said, it's clear today there is no future for Jews in France.
01:03:08.000 He said this on Monday.
01:03:08.000 This is about the left wing being elected.
01:03:11.000 I tell everyone who is young to go to Israel or a more secure country.
01:03:15.000 That is the Paris Chief Rabbi telling Jews in France they have no life left there.
01:03:20.000 They need to go.
01:03:21.000 He said, every country has its history.
01:03:23.000 Its history is part of its identity.
01:03:24.000 The moment you feel part of a country's history, it doesn't become another country's history.
01:03:27.000 After generations, the French Jews are very French and feel very French.
01:03:30.000 That was a couple of days ago.
01:03:31.000 And now he says that because of the radical increase of radical leftism and radical Islam, that Jews should leave.
01:03:40.000 So, again, that is a pretty grave warning.
01:03:44.000 Meanwhile, in the UK, it turns out that elections have consequences as well.
01:03:50.000 Pierre Starmer is the new Prime Minister of the UK with an overwhelming majority in the UK Parliament despite winning less of a combined vote than all of the votes on the right one, like 34% of the vote.
01:04:01.000 And he ends up with an historic majority in Parliament as well as the Prime Ministership.
01:04:06.000 Here he was receiving a call from Slow Joe Biden.
01:04:11.000 Mr Prime Minister, congratulations.
01:04:13.000 What a hell of a victory.
01:04:15.000 Congratulations.
01:04:16.000 Thank you, Mr President.
01:04:18.000 It's been a long night and day.
01:04:20.000 I've been busy appointing my cabinet during the course of this afternoon.
01:04:25.000 So thank you very much for your congratulations.
01:04:27.000 And fortuitously, we will see each other next week.
01:04:31.000 I'm very much looking forward to seeing you in Washington and having the opportunity, obviously, to sit down properly.
01:04:37.000 I'm looking forward to it as well.
01:04:39.000 There's no doubt that I'm your leadership.
01:04:41.000 Our two countries are going to continue our special relationship.
01:04:44.000 Oh, wow. I mean, this is gonna be great leadership, right?
01:04:48.000 The first two things that Keira Starmer did as the new prime minister,
01:04:52.000 he says he wants to reduce the number of people going to prison by simply cutting sentences,
01:04:56.000 by simply cutting the sentences in half.
01:04:58.000 Okay, so good luck.
01:05:00.000 Good luck, Britain.
01:05:02.000 Hope you like criminals on your streets.
01:05:03.000 Apparently, he said, we need to be clear about the way in which we use prisons.
01:05:08.000 For so many people who come out of prison, they're back in prison relatively quickly afterward.
01:05:11.000 That's a massive problem.
01:05:13.000 We do need to break that.
01:05:16.000 He said, I've sat in the back of I don't know how many criminal courts and watched people process through the system on an escalator to go to prison.
01:05:22.000 I've often reflected many of them could have been taken out of that system earlier if they'd had support.
01:05:25.000 So they're going to go easy on crime in Britain.
01:05:27.000 Also, they're killing the anti-immigration efforts of the Tories.
01:05:32.000 One of those anti-immigration efforts was an effort to deport illegal immigrants from Rwanda.
01:05:36.000 Keir Starmer said the Rwanda deportation policy is, quote, dead and buried.
01:05:40.000 The prime minister said he was not prepared to continue with gimmicks, as he confirmed a multi-million pound plan to send some asylum seekers to Kigali is to be scrapped.
01:05:48.000 So get ready for a vast wave of more immigration to the UK.
01:05:53.000 Hope that the UK and France are ready for what's about to hit them, because if it's been bad for the past 20 years in terms of immigration, get ready for more.
01:06:00.000 Michel Hollebecq looks like a prophet now, not like the radical right-winger the press painted him as when his books came out.
01:06:07.000 So, this is what happens when countries decide that they are going to sell themselves down the river in pursuit of left-wing radicalism.
01:06:14.000 We'll see how it works out for them.
01:06:16.000 Alrighty, guys, coming up, we will get to how the rest of the world is responding to Western weakness.
