Joe Biden is back with a new strategy to win the 2020 Democratic primary, and it s based on one of the most surprising things that s happened in modern American politics: Celebrities are the new swing voters, and they re the key to getting people out to the polls in order to elect a Democratic presidential candidate in 2020. Joe Biden is turning to Hollywood to get his 2020 campaign on the right track, and he s doing so by tapping into the celebrity base to get them out and vote for him. In 2016, Hillary Clinton tried this strategy in 2016. And it didn t work. Now, Biden is going back to the well, and turning to celebrities to get voters out and turn out in droves to vote in the 2020 election. And in doing so, he s turning to George Clooney and his wife, Amal Clooney, to shore up his campaign and get out the vote in a way that s not only Democratic primary voters, but also the celebrities who can get out to vote and get people out in the polls to elect Joe Biden in the midterms in 2020 and beyond. Today's episode is all about how Hollywood is going to play a key role in 2020, and how they can help him win the White House in a primary that s becoming more and more Democratic in a year where there s less likely to be a repeat of 2016, and more likely to turn out and get more engaged in the voting booth in 2020 and beyond . the future of the Democratic presidential election, and the 2020 midterms. What's the difference between Joe Biden and Hillary Clinton? What s going to Joe Biden's 2020 campaign in 2020? What will it take? and Hillary s 2020 campaign what s the real difference between them why is Joe Biden s best chance of winning the 2020 presidential election or Hillary s chances of winning in the next election? And what s really going to be the difference maker? Is it more than just celebrity support and the celebrity support that Joe Biden getting out there to vote for Joe Biden who s running for president in 2020 or Hillary Clinton s chances in the primary is it really that much better than Hillary s chance of being re-elected in 2020 than Hillary Clinton in 2020 ? ? or is it just a matter of who's going to have the most celebrity support in the Democratic primary and who s actually going to vote the most votes in 2020 in the first place?
00:00:00.000Well, folks, something is fascinating about the 2024 election.
00:00:03.000Right now, if you look at the polling data, something unique is happening in modern American history.
00:00:08.000The unique thing is that Republicans are now breaking into the low-likelihood voter camp.
00:00:15.000So, typically speaking, when it comes to elections, the basic logic has been this.
00:00:20.000Democrats win in high-turnout elections.
00:00:22.000Republicans win in low-turnout elections.
00:00:24.000This has been the theory behind why Republicans seem to outperform during midterm elections 2022, being an exception to that particular rule.
00:00:32.000In 2016, there was low voter turnout, and Donald Trump won.
00:00:34.000In 2020, there was very, very high voter turnout, and Joe Biden won.
00:00:39.000In 2024, something unique is happening.
00:00:41.000According to the New York Times, a new electoral divide has emerged in America.
00:00:45.000This divide is not rooted in race, geography, age, or education.
00:00:47.000Instead, it is engagement in democracy itself.
00:00:51.000If you look at representation of all 200 million registered voters in the United States, what you see is that people who voted in the 2022 primary election are favoring Joe Biden in this election by a margin about 5%, 49 to 44.
00:01:06.000When you look at people who voted, however, in the 2020 election, Donald Trump is leading.
00:01:14.000And if you look at people who didn't vote at all in any of those elections, 2020 or 2022, Donald Trump is leading by 14 percentage points.
00:01:23.000What this means is that if everyone voted among those 200 million registered voters, Trump would win.
00:01:33.000As Nate Cohn writes, in a reversal of one of the most familiar patterns in American politics, it appears that Donald Trump, not President Biden, would stand to gain if everyone in the country turned out and voted.
00:01:42.000The pattern is the latest example of how the Trump brand of conservative populism has transformed American politics.
00:01:47.000His candidacy galvanized liberals to defend democracy and abortion rights, giving Democrats the edge in low-turnout special and midterm elections.
00:01:53.000But at the same time, early polls suggest, many less engaged and infrequent voters have grown deeply dissatisfied with Biden.
00:02:12.000That is not a state that should be on the map for Donald Trump.
00:02:15.000He is currently winning well outside the margin of error in Nevada, which he lost in 2020.
00:02:19.000In other words, so many people are disillusioned with Joe Biden that he is losing even among voters who tend to be those low propensity voters.
00:02:33.000And so now he's going back to the well.
00:02:34.000He's going back to the celebrity backers.
00:02:36.000That's what he needs more than anything.
00:02:39.000According to the Wall Street Journal, George Clooney and Julia Roberts headlined a Hollywood fundraiser Saturday and helped President Biden raise $30 million.
00:02:45.000Robert De Niro narrated a campaign ad.
00:02:47.000Mark Hamill dropped by the White House.
00:02:49.000Now, one thing that you will notice about all of those people is that none of them are particularly young celebrities.
00:02:55.000George Clooney, who you might think of as young, is 63 years old.
00:02:59.000He is not a spring chicken at this point.
00:03:01.000Julia Roberts is currently 56 years old.
00:03:05.000These are not the celebrities who are going to get people out to the polls, if in fact celebrities do get people out to the polls.
00:03:10.000Mark Hamill is of course quite old, and Robert De Niro is as old as Joe Biden is at this point.
00:03:17.000So they're gonna try to drive the celebrities out.
00:03:20.000As Axios points out, Hollywood stars could be the key to Biden's campaign.
00:03:40.000Well, now that is what Joe Biden is doing.
00:03:42.000By the way, this also explains why Joe Biden has been pandering to Amal Clooney, who is George Clooney's wife, because George Clooney, I mean, that's just a pure payoff.
00:03:49.000Amal Clooney was the person who helped write a wildly anti-Israel, ICC, International Criminal Court report that targeted the prime minister of the state of Israel.
00:03:59.000And the Biden administration signaled that they were fine with sanctions being put on members of the ICC by the American government.
00:04:05.000And then Biden reversed himself after George gave a phone call to the White House complaining on behalf of his wife Amal, and now George is leading fundraisers on behalf of Joe Biden.
00:04:14.000We'll get to more on this in just one moment.
00:04:16.000First, I have been and I will be traveling over the next few weeks, which means that my team and I really need to be careful about securing our internet connection.
00:04:22.000We never know who might be tracking our internet activity, if public Wi-Fi has any sort of security, whether our internet is being censored by the local government, the kind of stuff that happens in China or Russia.
00:04:31.000That's why when I'm on the road, I always use ExpressVPN.
00:04:34.000ExpressVPN is a VPN provider that reroutes my internet connection to stop third parties like Wi-Fi admins and government agencies from spying on me.
00:04:40.000Plus, ExpressVPN encrypts 100% of my traffic.
00:04:43.000which protects all my private data from Wi-Fi hackers, like my bank logins or my credit cards.
00:04:48.000ExpressVPN is the only VPN provider I trust and recommend.
00:05:38.000According to the New York Times, Jeffrey Katzenberg, who's of course a big Hollywood star, Katzenberg has been called in as sort of an emergency narrative generator on behalf of Joe Biden, because of course he's lost the narrative in this election cycle.
00:05:55.000And here is what Jeffrey Katzenberg then told Joe Biden, according to the New York Times.
00:06:02.000Quote, if Mr. Trump is Scar from the Lion King, Mr. Katzenberg sees Mr. Biden as Mufasa, the wise father king.
00:06:09.000Then the New York Times adds, it may not be the best analogy.
00:06:11.000Scar kills Mufasa in a coup to take over the Pride Lands and it falls to Mufasa's son Simba to seek justice and topple the usurper.
00:06:18.000The problem is that Hunter Biden slash Simba is in jail or will be in jail very soon for not being able to stay off the crack.
00:06:25.000So I think that the story sort of breaks down here.
00:06:29.000But the bottom line here is that Trump is now more widely popular with the American populace than Joe Biden by the New York Times data, which means that the Trump campaign has to put enormous effort into getting out the vote and obviously into shutting down voter fraud.
00:06:45.000And they are pledging to do both of these things.
00:06:47.000And if you want to volunteer to help us turn out the votes in your neighborhood, sign up to get Trained at TrumpForce47.com.
00:07:07.000Okay, so he has to do the on-the-ground work.
00:07:10.000This has been the biggest obstacle to the possibility of a Trump victory.
00:07:13.000I've been saying this since the beginning of the election cycle.
00:07:16.000The biggest obstacles to Donald Trump winning are, one, Donald Trump saying things, as we'll get to in a moment, because the debate is coming up, and two, Donald Trump's ground game.
00:07:25.000Democrats are gonna have their ground game.
00:07:57.000I mean, according to the New York Post, welfare offices and other agencies in 49 states are providing voter registration forms to migrants without requiring proof of citizenship.
00:08:06.000leading Republicans and conservatives to call for swift federal action to stop the handouts.
00:08:11.000Every state but Arizona gives applicants for either welfare benefits, driver's licenses,
00:08:14.000or in some cases, mail-in ballots, voter registration forms, without demanding proof
00:08:19.000of citizenship. Now again, how many of those ballots end up being turned in and signed by
00:08:24.000illegal immigrants? Probably very few.
00:08:27.000And there are processes, supposedly, for weeding out those ballots.
00:08:30.000With that said, Republicans are going to start moving on the federal level to bar this sort of practice.
00:08:35.000The House Administration Committee last month approved the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility Act to require states to receive a proof of citizenship when anyone registers to vote by mail, at a DMV, or at a welfare agency office.
00:08:48.000Now, why Democrats would oppose this is absolutely beyond me.
00:08:52.000Unless they are very, very much fine with the possibility of people not actually showing ID to vote, which suggests they are fine with the possibility of voter fraud.
00:09:02.000Lara Trump, who is the daughter-in-law of President Trump and who recently took over as head of the RNC, she says we're going to crack down on those who commit voter fraud and she's pledging an army of attorneys to prevent voter fraud.
00:09:14.000Here she was at TPUSA over the weekend.
00:09:17.000Also sending a loud and clear message out there to anyone who thinks about cheating in an election.
00:09:22.000If you cheat in an election, we will find you, we will track you down, and we will prosecute you to the full extent of the law.
00:09:39.000He has millions of dollars in the war chest.
00:09:42.000That means there's no excuse for not getting out the vote for Republicans in the swing states, and there's also no excuse for not having an army of lawyers at the polling places to ensure that every legal vote is counted.
00:09:55.000So, that's problem number one that theoretically the Trump campaign should solve.
00:10:01.000The rules for the debate have apparently now been set.
00:10:05.000According to CNN, with less than two weeks until the first presidential debate of the 2024 election cycle, CNN has released additional details on the parameters agreed upon by the Trump and Biden campaigns.
00:10:15.000Now again, this whole thing has been stacked by the Biden campaign from the outset.
00:10:19.000When they offered debates on CNN and ABC, and immediately they had the dates and the moderators all lined up, that means it was preset with those networks before Joe Biden even issued the challenge.
00:10:30.000Donald Trump, because sort of like Marty McFly in Back to the Future 2, he doesn't want to appear chicken, instead of saying, listen, let's settle on what those debates look like before simply accepting, instead, he simply accepted the debate.
00:10:43.000And that is going to put him at a systemic disadvantage because, of course, the moderators in these debates are going to be wildly biased against Donald Trump.
00:10:52.000The first debate will be hosted by Jake Tapper and Dana Bash, both of whom clearly do not want Donald Trump to be president and both of whom obviously also believe that Donald Trump is a threat to democracy, which means the entire debate, if they have their druthers, is going to be about January 6th and election 2020.
00:11:08.000This is the single greatest threat to Donald Trump retaining the presidency in this election cycle.
00:11:15.000If Donald Trump falls for that trap, that is the biggest mistake he can make.
00:11:19.000He needs to have a swift and a quick comeback line.
00:11:23.000If they say, you know, Mr. President, you tried to lead an insurrection on January 6th.
00:11:27.000You can say, listen, Jake, I disagree with your characterization of what happened on January 6th, but let's point something out.
00:11:37.000And there's one thing the American people know.
00:11:38.000That thing is, they saw me as president and they saw Joe Biden as president.
00:11:42.000Their lives under me were much better than they are under Joe Biden because everyone knows Joe Biden is a terrible president.
00:11:48.000He needs to keep shifting fire back to Biden.
00:11:51.000Instead of getting defensive, instead of talking about election 2020, which he is wont to do because President Trump loves talking about what he believes was a rigged election in 2020.
00:12:04.000Obviously, the media were very, very motivated to lie during the election cycle, the hiding of the Hunter Biden laptop story, the changing of all the voting.
00:12:13.000But talking about that stuff is not going to win him votes.
00:12:16.000The thing that is going to win Donald Trump votes in the debate is focusing in on Joe Biden's actual record.
00:12:22.000We'll get to more on this in a moment.
00:12:23.000First, Grand Canyon University is a private Christian university in beautiful Phoenix, Arizona.
00:12:28.000GCU believes our Creator has endowed us with certain unalienable rights, life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.
00:12:33.000GCU equips you to serve others in ways that promote your flourishing, creating a ripple effect of transformation for generations to come.
00:12:38.000Whether you're pursuing a bachelor's, master's, or doctoral degree, Grand Canyon University's online, on-campus, and hybrid learning environments are designed to help you achieve your goals.
00:12:47.000GCU has over 330 academic programs as of September 2023.
00:12:51.000Find your purpose today at Grand Canyon University.
00:13:39.000The studio audience would certainly be much more prone to support Donald Trump because half the Democratic Party is angry at Joe Biden.
00:13:46.000Muting the microphones is going to prevent the sort of thing where Donald Trump can jump in and get in a one-liner like he did with Hillary Clinton.
00:13:55.000Where she was talking about how terrible things would be if Donald Trump was president.
00:13:58.000He said, if I were president, you'd be in jail.
00:14:00.000Donald Trump does have the ability for both good and evil to throw a quip in there.
00:14:05.000He's not gonna be able to do that because he is going to be muted.
00:14:10.000In order to meet CNN's qualifications for the debates, candidates must satisfy the requirements to serve as president, but also you have to appear on a sufficient number of state ballots to reach the 270 electoral vote threshold to win the presidency.
00:14:25.000You also have to receive at least 15% in four separate national polls of registered or likely voters that meet CNN's standards for reporting.
00:14:32.000It's not impossible for Robert F. Kennedy to theoretically make the debate.
00:14:36.000He's received at least 15% in three of the qualifying polls so far, but he's only on the ballot in six states.
00:14:41.000He's only eligible for 89 electoral votes.
00:14:44.000So it's possible RFK could theoretically sneak on the stage.
00:14:47.000The bottom line though here is that when it comes to the debate, the biggest threat for Donald Trump is talking about January 6th and 2020 endlessly.
00:14:55.000And then there's the other big threat in the debate.
00:14:56.000And that is the threat that's happening right now in real time.
00:15:00.000That is the lowering of the debate bar.
00:15:03.000So right now, if Donald Trump is smart, what he should do is he should say, listen, we can all see that Joe Biden is ailing.
00:15:09.000We can all see that he's really old and he's falling apart.
00:15:11.000With that said, the State of the Union Address proves that you can shoot that guy up with whatever you need to do to get him to be mildly alive.
00:15:19.000Mostly dead, I love the Princess Bride, is still a little alive.
00:15:23.000Alive enough to stand there for around 90 minutes.
00:15:26.000This debate is not going to be about Joe Biden's mental capacity.
00:15:29.000This debate is going to be about Joe Biden as President of the United States and his terrible record on everything from the economy, to the border, to foreign policy.
00:15:37.000And he should set up that expectation in advance.
00:15:39.000He should be saying, right now, everybody's talking about Joe Biden freezing up and ailing and all of that, and that's all true.
00:15:45.000But, they're gonna jab him full of something, and he will be lively and sprightly and angry Joe.
00:15:51.000And it's my job to simply point out what a bad president he has been.
00:15:55.000You should be saying that from now, for the next 10 days, up until the election.
00:15:59.000Because otherwise, what's happening right now is good for the Trump campaign generally, which is the widespread perception that Joe Biden is not mentally competent to be President of the United States.
00:16:09.000But it's very bad for the debate, because if Joe Biden even shows up and doesn't die, then he wins.
00:16:16.000If Joe Biden is simply breathing, if he has a pulse, By the end of the debate, if he has not soiled himself on stage, then he will be deemed a sprightly elderly winner of the debate by the media.
00:16:29.000So that is the double-edged sword that is inherent in Joe Biden's physical precariousness.
00:16:32.000Now, with that said, Joe Biden had a very, very rough week in terms of physical precariousness.
00:16:38.000So a clip that went viral over the weekend is at this aforementioned fundraiser held by George Clooney and Barack Obama and Jimmy Kimmel.
00:16:46.000By the way, I remember a time when the networks would not allow their comedy hosts to involve themselves in these sorts of things, but obviously we're long past that.
00:16:51.000Jimmy Kimmel is just a prop for the White House at this point.
00:16:55.000At the very end of this event, Joe Biden is doing this weird thing that all these candidates do where they walk around the stage clapping for themselves, which I don't really understand, and they clap to the crowd and all this, and he freezes up.
00:17:05.000He appears to freeze up near the end of this to the extent that Barack Obama has to physically take his hand and then start to lead him off the stage.
00:17:15.000He grabs him around the back to guide him as though they're best buddies, even though in truth, Barack really cannot stand Joe Biden and never could.
00:18:00.000I mean, what we showed you there is the full tape.
00:18:02.000And as I said right before that, he was waving to the crowd, but then he sort of freezes up.
00:18:06.000Now, this became subject of an enormous number of blowback fact checks from the left-wing media, who declared at the behest of the White House that actually, actually, everything was fine.
00:18:17.000How dare you suggest that he froze up?
00:18:21.000According to Andrew Bates, who's the White House Senior Deputy Press Secretary and bootlicker, quote, Now again, they're using the term fake completely mistakenly here.
00:18:34.000The clips that we show on the show are actual real footage.
00:18:37.000What they are claiming is that they are cut too narrowly to make it look as though Joe Biden is freezing up.
00:18:44.000The problem, of course, is that people can see with their eyes the President of the United States, that he is diminished in capacity.
00:18:49.000But Andrew Bates says, fresh off being fact-checked by at least six mainstream
00:18:53.000outlets for lying about the president with cheap fakes, Rupert Murdoch's sad little super PAC,
00:18:57.000the New York Post, is back to disrespecting its readers with an apostrophe in its wrong. And once again,
00:19:04.000and itself once again, their ethical standards could deal with a little unfreezing. Okay,
00:19:21.000It's that Barack Obama so clearly perceives that he has frozen that he reaches over, as you or I would do with a grandparent, And takes the President of the United States by the hand in order to get his attention and turn him.
00:19:48.000Getting life insurance, especially for maybe Joe Biden.

00:21:37.000So, there they are, they're all clapping for the parachutist who's right in front of them.
00:21:40.000Joe Biden sees another parachutist who's, like, packing up his gear, and he starts wandering off-screen to go and find this other parachutist and talk to him.
00:21:47.000The parachutist, for what it's worth, literally doesn't even know that Joe Biden is there.
00:21:51.000He's just there, packing up his parachute back into his bag, and Joe Biden starts, like, randomly mumbling to him.
00:21:55.000And George Maloney Who's the only relatively popular leader in the G7, maybe the only good leader there.
00:22:02.000She literally has to go to Joe Biden, find him, turn him around back toward the camera, and then Joe Biden slowly slides on those sunglasses so he looks like Dark Brandon or whatever the stupid meme is that they're trying to do.
00:22:41.000I have made very clear to the Israelis.
00:22:45.000And then he threatens the Israelis, of course, because in the middle of a conflict between Israel and Hamas, we know this president has to have the Dearborn vote, so he threatens the Israelis.
00:25:18.000Joe isn't one of the most effective presidents of our lives in spite of his age, but because of it.
00:25:27.000Oh, it's because he's an old codger who can't keep it together for more than five minutes and has to have a bunch of quick cuts and short videos that he makes for TikTok.
00:25:36.000It's because of that he is so effective, says actual President Jill Biden.

00:26:45.000By the way, Wilford Brimley, I should point out, in Cocoon, Wilford Brimley, who's the star of Cocoon, when he made Cocoon, was I believe 50.
00:26:55.000I think he was 50 years old when he made cocoon.
00:27:52.000Okay, as evidence, they're bringing the fact that Donald Trump tells weird stories.
00:27:56.000Now, the difference between Donald Trump telling weird stories and Joe Biden telling weird stories is there is no discernible difference in Donald Trump's behavior from 2016 to 2024.
00:28:22.000And so instead, what they're doing is they're now attempting to pretend that he and Joe Biden are equally senile, which is just ridiculous.
00:28:29.000Donald Trump is wild and eccentric and says crazy stuff.
00:29:27.000But now he's diminished to telling stories about sharks.
00:29:30.000It was Donald Trump told stories about sharks in 2016, and he tells weird stories about sharks in 2024.
00:29:34.000So here he is telling a weird story about a shark.
00:29:37.000I say what would happen if the boat sank from its weight and you're in the boat and you have this tremendously powerful battery and the battery is now underwater and there's a shark that's approximately 10 yards over there By the way, a lot of shark attacks lately.
00:32:12.000I said this was a great week for the president.
00:32:16.000He's having these back-to-back weeks on both the national stage and domestically.
00:32:22.000The economy, the numbers were strong coming out on inflation.
00:32:28.000It's amazing because you think about the fact that the president is playing chess and the former president at best is playing like Hungry Hungry Hippo.
00:33:19.000So Jeremy Boring, co-founder of the Daily Wire, recently announced our partnership with Angel Studios to bring you a brand new film it's called Sound of Hope the story of Possum Trot.
00:33:28.000Now you might know Angel Studios from their huge hit Sound of Freedom that had a massive impact in the world of entertainment last year and shined a powerful light on the child trafficking crisis.
00:33:36.000Well now Angel Studios is back continuing their fight for kids.
00:33:40.000We here at DailyWirePlus are proud to join them in that fight.
00:33:43.000Sound of Hope is the true story of 22 families from a rural church who adopted 77 kids from the foster system.
00:33:48.000If you missed our town hall last week here's a little bit of the trailer.
00:36:25.000You can get yours at angel.com slash Ben.
00:36:29.000Okay, meanwhile, when it comes to the actual argument that Donald Trump should be making, he should not be the one who's talking about Joe Biden's age.
00:36:35.000Let everybody else talk about his age.
00:36:37.000He should be talking about the fact that Joe Biden is a terrible, terrible president because it turns out that he is.
00:36:43.000On the economy in particular, he continues to be an absolutely terrible president.
00:36:47.000And again, when Donald Trump talks about this, it is very good for Donald Trump.
00:36:50.000So here is Trump over the weekend pointing out the difference between his economy and Joe Biden's economy.
00:37:33.000It's always this stuff about how he created millions of jobs.
00:37:36.000And at that point, Donald Trump can say, well, no, actually, you didn't create any jobs.
00:37:40.000In fact, you put a drag on the economy in the form of your massive inflationary economy.
00:37:46.000The people who created jobs are all the small business people who are getting crushed by your inflation.
00:37:51.000I mean, what's the response to that even?
00:37:53.000Janet Yellen, who's the Treasury Secretary, she is still trying to whistle past the graveyard, in the case of Biden, the actual graveyard, suggesting that Americans are better off now than they were under Donald Trump.
00:39:20.000We're all supposed to believe that things are going really well because Joe Biden is signing checks that obviously he's not the one paying for.
00:39:26.000Meanwhile, Joe Biden still hasn't connected anyone to the internet.
00:39:28.000Remember, there's a big deal about how Joe Biden was going to build with $42.5 billion from the infrastructure bill, high-speed internet for everybody, which, of course, it turns out is completely unnecessary because technology is developing so quickly that building broadband is probably the way of the past.
00:39:45.000In any case, FCC Commissioner Brendan Carr on Friday wrote that President Biden has not connected one single American with high-speed internet.
00:39:54.000The FCC commissioner wrote, in 2021, the Biden administration got $42.45 billion from Congress to deploy high-speed internet to millions of Americans.
00:40:02.000Years later, it has not connected one person with those funds.
00:40:05.000In fact, it now says that no construction projects will even start until 2025 at the earliest.
00:40:12.000So, like, really good job there, Joe Biden.
00:40:14.000Even the grants aren't going out fast enough.
00:40:16.000Meanwhile, investors are fearing chaos because there's been this long stretch of calm in the markets, and that has basically been predicated not on calm in the markets, but on an underlying tension.
00:40:24.000You don't know where to put your money.
00:40:25.000If you're an investor, and I'm an investor, you really don't know where to put your money at this point.
00:40:29.000Thanks to inflation, and thanks to a widespread belief that we are in a sort of stock market bubble, but it's unclear where we go next.
00:40:35.000Thanks to all the hesitation by the Fed.
00:40:37.000Thanks to the fact the interest rates are high, but it's not really having an effect on real estate prices yet, which is strange.
00:40:43.000There's all sorts of weird stickinesses in the Joe Biden market created by all of the perverse incentives made by the Fed and by the Biden administration spending policies.
00:40:51.000Because of that, there's a lot of underlying nervousness underneath the market rally.
00:40:56.000According to the Wall Street Journal, markets are unusually calm, and that's making Wall Street nervous.
00:41:04.000The economy has remained stronger than almost anyone predicted after the Federal Reserve began raising those interest rates.
00:41:08.000But history shows that periods of extreme market calm rarely last.
00:41:13.000Part of the problem with a strong economy and calm markets is they create an environment in which investors let their guard down in terms of riskier, more speculative investments in their hunt for fast returns, which is true.
00:41:22.000It's also one of the reasons why top CEOs, according to the Wall Street Journal, are flocking to Trump again.
00:41:27.000According to the Wall Street Journal, when Donald Trump won the presidency in 2016, business leaders flocked to meet with him, hoping to tone down his trade policies and populist rhetoric while encouraging his business-friendly tax and deregulation agenda.
00:41:40.000Since Trump vanquished his last major GOP primary foe, more big names from the world of finance have lined up behind him.
00:41:45.000This week, a range of chief executives listened carefully as he promised more tax cuts and hedged on some of his harshest promises on immigration.
00:41:53.000Even CEOs like Jamie Dimon of JPMorgan Chase and Bank of America's Brian Moynihan have shown signs of warming Trump's policies or have spoken out against Joe Biden's.
00:42:03.000Citi's CEO Jane Frazier, Wells Fargo's Charlie Scharf were all in attendance at a business roundtable meeting where Trump addressed the group this week.
00:42:11.000And on the economy, Donald Trump is winning by every available poll.
00:42:15.000On immigration, Donald Trump is winning by every available poll.
00:42:19.000According to a brand new CBS Politics poll, 62.35, Americans favor mass deportations.
00:42:27.000Local police profiling the undocumented, profiling illegal immigrants, according to Mark Caputo.
00:42:31.00062.38, 62% of Americans support local cops being able to arrest illegal immigrants.
00:42:41.000Very few, a minority of people actually want more detention centers.
00:42:45.000They don't want more detention centers, mainly because they don't want people detained in the United States.
00:42:58.000Meanwhile, Joe Biden is preparing to offer legal status to hundreds of thousands of illegal immigrants.
00:43:04.000According to CBS News, a program being developed by White House officials would offer work permits and deportation protections to unauthorized immigrants married to U.S.
00:43:11.000citizens as long as they have lived in the U.S.
00:43:15.000The proposal, known as Parole in Place, would also open up a pathway to permanent legal status in U.S.
00:43:19.000citizenship for some beneficiaries by removing an obstacle in U.S.
00:43:22.000law that prevents those who enter the U.S.
00:43:24.000illegally from obtaining green cards without leaving the country.
00:43:27.000Another plan being prepared by Biden would streamline the process for so-called dreamers and other undocumented immigrants to request waivers that would make it easier for them to obtain temporary visas.
00:43:38.000So in the middle of an immigration News cycle in which we are worried about an open border.
00:43:43.000Joe Biden is incentivizing more illegal immigration.
00:43:59.000Please focus all your efforts in the debate and every day up to and past then on the fact that Joe Biden is a terrible president, not because he's mentally incompetent, but because he is just incompetent, period.
00:45:15.000He pointed out that Joe Biden's open border has meant that terrorists cross the border, which of course is true.
00:45:19.000So in addition to all of his other well-documented offenses, crooked Joe Biden is now also guilty of providing material support For terrorism.
00:45:31.000Under Biden, there's been a 3,000% increase in the number of people on the terror watch list crossing into our country from the southern border.
00:46:40.000They are people who understand the capacity of the community, the needs of the community, the culture of the community.
00:46:49.000They are folks who, unlike the big banks, will see the dream that an individual has for what is possible And instead of rejecting that dream because maybe it's something they've not heard before, they will listen to it and then give folks advice, including financial literacy advice, helping people know how to run a payroll, how to deal with inventory, in a way that they can start a business and sustain that business and grow that business.
00:47:19.000Okay, my favorite thing about what she says about community banks, aside from her use of the word community 87 times in about a 27-second clip there, is my favorite thing, is when she explains that community banks are wiser than the big banks, which is, of course, why community banks are so wildly profitable compared to the big banks, or perhaps not.
00:47:36.000But that is the person who is backing up Joe Biden.
00:47:39.000Again, the best presidency insurance that Joe Biden has ever had is Kamala Harris in the background explaining like she's saying something deep.
00:47:48.000That community banks are called that because they're banks in the community, for the community, like and of the community.
