00:02:29.000Joe Biden has started a Democratic Civil War.
00:02:34.000Bernie Sanders, AOC, and the squad, they all should feel pretty betrayed after the debate between President Trump and Joe Biden.
00:02:41.000The base of the Democrat Party, Alexandria Casio-Cortez, Bernie Sanders, Rashida Talib, Elon Omar, they are the energy of the Democrat Party.
00:02:50.000Bernie Sanders was on pace to win the Democrat nomination until the Democrat powers to be realized that Donald Trump would probably beat Bernie Sanders.
00:03:01.000And then in South Carolina, things changed.
00:03:03.000The endorsements flowed through, and Joe Biden woke up one day and he became the Democrat nominee.
00:03:08.000It happened gradually than suddenly for Joe Biden against Bernie Sanders.
00:03:12.000Bernie Sanders has now been on the cusp of winning the nomination twice, being robbed twice in two different ways.
00:03:19.000And just kind of a social media snapshot.
00:03:22.000Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has nearly 7 million Instagram followers.
00:03:26.000Bernie Sanders has 5.5 million Instagram followers.
00:04:44.000And the justice, and I have nothing, I'm not opposed to the justices, but she seems like a very fine person.
00:04:50.000You have to understand, leftism is a religion to so many people across the country.
00:04:56.000And one of the things that they worship more than anything else is not just government, but it's the practice of the termination of the unborn.
00:05:04.000For them, this is a core tenant of the faith of leftism.
00:05:10.000They, in some ways, worship Planned Parenthood.
00:05:14.000You cannot even cross the Rubicon of saying one negative thing about the practice of terminating 1 million pre-born human beings every single year that die.
00:05:28.000And yet, Joe Biden doesn't attack the woman, Amy Coney Barrett, who very well might undo Roe versus Wade.
00:05:37.000And then Joe Biden said that he is, quote, I am the Democrat Party, which of course alienates the grassroots of the party who are, quote, settling for him.
00:05:57.000Now, this is really important because it's the door knockers, it's the organizers, it is the energy that Joe Biden needs to be able to win in November.
00:06:08.000And now, look, Joe Biden is playing a very careful dance here.
00:06:11.000I actually think he's much more radical than he is putting on.
00:06:14.000I think Joe Biden is actually far more embracing of these ideas.
00:06:19.000It says that he supports the Green New Deal.
00:06:21.000And it's that Joe Biden has very clear programming and marching orders from Central Command.
00:06:26.000Central Command being the Democrat National Party and the Biden campaign, they have told him very clearly that in order to win the presidency, you must run as a center-right candidate, especially in states like Pennsylvania, Florida, Michigan, Wisconsin, and Minnesota.
00:06:44.000That you must run to the middle, to the right.
00:06:47.000That despite what everyone says, despite what everyone is in your ear about, you cannot alienate mainstream voters.
00:06:55.000That's the only reason why Joe Biden is doing this.
00:06:57.000His true ideology is actually incongruent with the war that he has declared against the Democrat base.
00:07:06.000Joe Biden saying that I am the Democrat Party, really?
00:07:10.000Not Nancy Pelosi, not Chuck Schumer, not Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Elon Omar, Rashida Talib, Ayana Presley.
00:07:20.000Joe Biden also says he doesn't want to defund the police.
00:07:25.000And I'm not totally opposed to defunding the police officers.
00:07:29.000As a matter of fact, police, local police, the only one defunding in his budget calls for a $400 million cut in local law enforcement assistance.
00:07:48.000We should make sure that ICE and CBP are not freewheeling and working with local police departments.
00:07:55.000There's no rationale or reasoning for that.
00:07:58.000And so dismantling this, defunding ICE and CBP along with defunding overfunded departments, police departments is all part and all linked in very linked and similar fight.
00:08:14.000So those are two things that are pretty far apart.
00:08:16.000You have AOC saying we absolutely want to defund the police and Joe Biden saying that we don't want to defund the police.
00:08:23.000But how about the Minneapolis City Council when they went on cable television and they said, no, we absolutely want to defund the police.
00:08:32.000Our commitment is to do what's necessary to keep every single member of our community safe and to tell the truth that the Minneapolis police are not doing that.
00:08:46.000Our commitment is to end our city's toxic relationship with the Minneapolis police department, to end policing as we know it, and to recreate systems of public safety that actually keep us safe.
00:09:02.000Joe Biden is doing his best to shake the socialist straitjacket that his party put in him.
00:09:09.000He's trying to represent his positions to decent, normal voters as being in the mainstream of the political consciousness.
00:09:16.000But Joe Biden is really playing with dangerous political weaponry here.
00:09:21.000You see, Democrat-based voters, they will soon rebel and they will stay at home.
00:10:16.000They got the best meat in the country because Good Ranchers began with the standard of bringing top quality, 100% American-born, raised and harvested meat to families across America.
00:10:26.000This vision was instilled into them from their grandparents that owned community grocery stores and believed in trust, charity, American values.
00:10:31.000Maybe you're a college student and you're tired of just eating the endless piles of garbage they feed you.
00:10:36.000Maybe you're a single mother and you just want to be able to feed your kids good protein.
00:10:40.000Or maybe you're a father with an obligation to put food on the table.
00:10:45.000Well, why don't you put meat on the table from goodranchers.com?
00:10:50.000You get 100% American raised beef right to your door, beef the way it used to be.
00:11:38.000Now, the socialist left, they are carrying water for Biden, but the base is really starting to see through it.
00:11:44.000They never wanted Joe Biden, but they were willing to settle for him if he was willing to work towards their radical goals, basically if he was willing to sell himself as some form of a Trojan horse.
00:11:56.000But President Trump perfectly called out Biden on the fact that he has, quote, lost the left.
00:12:22.000Let's actually play that tape where he does not even acknowledge the fact that Bernie Sanders endorsed him and basically led him to be able to become the candidate.
00:13:39.000Barack Obama believed that marriage was one man, one woman.
00:13:44.000Yet Barack Obama was never trying to poke the eye of the Democrat base.
00:13:50.000Barack Obama won on the issues of political corruption and made promises he never fulfilled where he said, oh, there will be a website where you'll be able to vote on bills and instantaneously.
00:13:59.000None of that stuff actually materialized the way that it would.
00:14:02.000He said, we're going to clean out lobbyists and trial lawyers.
00:14:04.000None of that stuff at all came to fruition.
00:14:08.000Joe Biden thinks that they'll stick with him no matter what.
00:14:16.000This is the Mitt Romney for president political playbook.
00:14:21.000This is the Hillary Clinton for president political playbook.
00:14:24.000This is the John McCain for president political playbook.
00:14:27.000That you are given your base as a complete and total accepted notion.
00:14:34.000That it's as if you're going through a cafeteria line, and no matter what, the first thing they give you is cornbread and then you can select your other stuff.
00:14:43.000You have to earn every single piece of the political menu out there, that your base is not something you get no matter what.
00:14:51.000That you have to actually earn the support of your base.
00:14:54.000What President Trump really was able to prove in 2016 is your base can get bigger, that your base can be more enthusiastic and therefore be maximized beyond a preset kind of political given, to use geometric terms.
00:15:12.000See, Mitt Romney poked the eye of the Republican base.
00:15:21.000If Donald Trump loses, it'll be because not of his base, it'll be because of center-right Republican voters that do not vote for him.
00:15:29.000Donald Trump has changed the party so much that Joe Biden is looking around the Democrat Party and he realizes that people that used to call themselves Democrats now call themselves Republicans.
00:15:43.000In fact, this actually goes to show what Joe Biden is doing should give a lot of you hope.
00:15:52.000It's because the country's actually a lot more center-right electorally and politically than a lot of the political pundits and prognosticators would ever tell you.
00:16:01.000That Joe Biden believes, and he might be right, he might be wrong, but there's definitely data to support this, that you cannot win the presidency without winning over decent center-right voters.
00:16:13.000By taking his base for granted, that is 42% of the Democrat Party that voted for Bernie Sanders in 2016.
00:16:22.00042% of all Democrat primary voters, we're talking about well over 10 million people that voted for Bernie Sanders in 2016, and nearly 7.5 million people that voted for Bernie Sanders in 2020 in the primary.
00:17:22.000It's about clear and convincing arguments to get people to show up.
00:17:26.000The fact that the presidential debate ratings were so low, and I quote from the Hill, the Democrat nominee Joe Biden and President Trump's debate was watched by 29 million viewers on broadcast.
00:17:38.000Some people disagree with this, but I'm just reading it as is, marking a 35% drop from the first 2016 debate between Trump and Hillary Clinton.
00:17:46.000And so I guarantee that the base watched the debate throughout.
00:17:54.000Now, look, the joint manifesto that Joe Biden released with Bernie Sanders is 110 pages of radical far-left policies from a job-killing, $2 trillion climate agenda to eliminating cash bail and dismantling border protections.
00:18:09.000As Sanders has boasted, Biden would be, quote, the most progressive president since FDR.
00:18:15.000And quote, the goals of the task force were to move the Biden campaign into a more progressive direction.
00:18:21.000I think we did that, Sanders told NPR on the issue after issue, whether it was education, the economy, healthcare, climate, immigration, criminal justice.
00:18:31.000I think there was significant movement on the part of the Biden campaign.
00:18:36.000Also known as Biden went way to the left.
00:18:42.000Look, there's a serious problem out there.
00:18:44.000Our first responders and heroes, a lot of you listen to the show.
00:18:47.000A lot of them you have relatives of first responders.
00:18:50.000You have to pay out of your pocket for gear for the job that you're doing.
00:18:55.000So, for example, if you're a police officer, or if your husband's a police officer, or EMS or medical worker, you have to deal with constrained budgets as it is.
00:19:04.000They're trying to defund the police and you have to pay out of your pocket for the gear.
00:19:08.000Hunting for military or first responder discounts has usually been a total headache.
00:19:13.000My police officer friends, who are total heroes, say they can't find the discounts they need.
00:19:17.000Big general retailers don't care about you and your sacrifices, just as long as you're just adding to the card button, typical new age corporate America.
00:19:28.000You see, GovX works directly with brands to negotiate the best prices possible because you deserve the gear you need at the prices you've earned.

00:20:02.000So now Joe Biden has to make a very calculated political decision.
00:20:07.000Is he going to continue to alienate his base and kind of give the wink and the nod and the thumbs up?
00:20:12.000Hey, show up to me and we'll destroy America together, kiddo.
00:20:16.000Or is he going to try to reassert his base support at any point whatsoever?
00:20:22.000Joe Biden made zero overtures to his base throughout the debate, which means that he has very clear marching orders to not pander to the Democrat base and instead reassert his credentials for swing voters.
00:20:38.000And look, Joe Biden is trying to be everything to everyone, which means he's risking alienating everyone who matters.
00:20:45.000And again, Biden's manifesto said climate change is a global emergency, which requires decarbonizing American industries and eliminating carbon dioxide emissions to net zero.
00:20:56.000And Joe Biden, by the way, of his Unity Task Force, which is what they call the manifesto, is actually the Green New Deal on an exponent.
00:21:05.000It's actually a Green New Deal larger than anything we could ever imagine.
00:21:11.000And now, a good example is President Trump's answer on Roe versus Wade.
00:21:15.000He's already demonstrated he's the most pro-life president in American history.
00:22:03.000This is actually President Trump at his best at the debate where Joe Biden tried to lay a Roe versus Wade trap when it came to Amy Coney Barrett.
00:22:12.000And Donald Trump said, well, how do you know where she stands?
00:22:15.000Not taking any of the political fodder that Joe Biden was trying to lay out in front of him, which would have resulted in the number one takeaway of the debate, would not have been the Proud Boys, which is just a silly thing to be focusing on, not on his non-denial denial of the white supremacist question, which I'm going to deconstruct here in just one second.
00:22:38.000Instead, it would have been on Donald Trump wants to get rid of Roe versus Wade.
00:22:42.000That actually might have had a very serious political consequence to motivate a hibernating Democrat political base.
00:22:51.000And throughout the debate, you saw Chris Wallace collude with Joe Biden to try to put Donald Trump on defense, especially on the issues of race.
00:23:00.000This was incredibly frustrating to see, especially as they were teaming up on Donald Trump.
00:23:06.000So first, I want to play the tape of Donald Trump denouncing white supremacy.
00:23:17.000You have repeatedly criticized the vice president for not specifically calling out Antifa and other left-wing extremist groups.
00:23:25.000But are you willing tonight to condemn white supremacists and militia groups and to say that they need to stand down and not add to the violence in a number of these cities as we saw in Kenosha and as we've seen in Portland?
00:23:41.000Are you prepared to specifically do it?
00:24:17.000Chris Wallace, and to say that they need to stand down and not add to the violence in a number of these cities we saw in Kenosha and as we've seen in Portland?
00:24:41.000Wallace, white supremacists and right-wing militias.
00:24:44.000Simultaneously, Joe Biden interjects, proud boys.
00:24:47.000Trump says, proud boys, stand back and stand by.
00:24:50.000But I'll tell you what, somebody's got to do something about Antifa and the left.
00:24:54.000And then President Trump followed up with that was a press conference outside of the White House where he said that he denounces all forms of white supremacy play tape.
00:25:03.000I've always denounced any form, any form, any form of any of that you have to denounce.
00:25:10.000But I also, Joe Biden has to say something about Antifa.
00:27:26.000In Pennsylvania, they have their fair share of Bolsheviks.
00:27:30.000In Wisconsin, they have their fair share of Bernie Sanders revolutionaries.
00:27:34.000So while Joe Biden thinks that he can do nothing but win over center-right voters in Pennsylvania and in Wisconsin and Florida by wrongly pandering to them and being everyone to all people to everyone, I'm already reading on socialist Slack channels and on some of their websites that Joe Biden is bought and paid for by the corporate class and they will not show up and vote for him.
00:27:56.000There will be a serious tapering effect because of how Joe Biden is continually declaring war and poking the socialists in the eye, the new base of the Democrat Party, the base that we see that finances the enthusiasm and the energy.
00:28:11.000And so some people say, oh, he's just losing the radicals on the coasts.
00:28:14.000There's plenty of those in the middle part of the country, and Joe Biden is playing with dangerous political weaponry.
00:28:22.000Donald Trump would never denounce his base.
00:28:24.000He would never say one thing different to any other audience.
00:28:27.000And that's the final takeaway here that you should all be thankful for for President Trump.
00:28:32.000President Trump has said the same thing in the primary election, as he did in the general election, as he did as president, as he did against Joe Biden.
00:28:46.000He believes what he believes, and he is clear with conviction and with courage.
00:28:51.000Joe Biden has just started a Democrat Civil War.
00:28:54.000Maybe it's time for us to fan those flames and see Democrats fight Democrats for a change, a long overdue civil war that one day will turn into, I believe, one of the greatest unraveling of a political party in American history.
