00:01:35.000 You are living through Project Coconut Tree.

00:01:38.000 Let's take a step back.

00:01:39.000 Remember how bizarre and unusual it was for Joe Biden to want to have a summer debate?

00:01:43.000 We predicted this correctly.

00:01:45.000 We said they are doing a summer debate for one of two reasons.

00:01:49.000 If Joe Biden does very well, then they have a tight race against Donald Trump and they are all systems go.

00:01:54.000 However, Pelosi and Obama knew that Joe Biden was not healthy.

00:01:59.000 They needed to force a environment where Joe Biden was exposed, where Joe Biden was not able to defend himself.

00:02:08.000 They needed to put him in an environment so they could pull Joe Biden and get the consensus.

00:02:12.000 It was a hit.

00:02:14.000 It was a coordinated hit.

00:02:17.000 You see, Joe Biden went to Atlanta for the CNN debate, not knowing that Pelosi and Obama set him up.

00:02:25.000 Joe Biden walked right into the trap.

00:02:28.000 Joe Biden walked right into that debate, not knowing that the soft coup was underway.

00:02:35.000 Now, the tell was even more dramatic than that.

00:02:39.000 That evening, we streamed for a couple hours.

00:02:43.000 And we said, there's something very bizarre happening here.

00:02:47.000 CNN, the moment that the debate ended, they were talking about pulling Joe Biden.

00:02:50.000 The media started one of its relentless Barrage campaigns that withstood every form of news cycle from the RNC to Donald Trump getting shot.

00:03:03.000 No matter what happened in the news cycle, they were able to get it back.

00:03:08.000 They were able to bring it back to the front page.

00:03:10.000 They were able to bring it back to the center.

00:03:15.000 Front page of the New York Times.

00:03:18.000 Biden bows out.

00:03:21.000 It has officially happened this weekend, and it is Project Coconut Tree.

00:03:26.000 But remember on the debate night, remember, it was Kamala Harris who was not with her president.

00:03:36.000 It was Kamala Harris who was piping in remotely.

00:03:41.000 It was Kamala Harris that had the very strange visual and aesthetic of her looking As if she was the President of the United States. 0.86

00:03:52.000 Let's play Cut49.

00:03:54.000 Listen, first of all, what we saw tonight is the President making a very clear contrast with Donald Trump on all the issues that matter to the American people.

00:04:04.000 Yes, there was a slow start, but it was a strong finish.

00:04:07.000 And what became very clear through the course of the night is that Joe Biden is fighting on behalf of the American people on substance, on policy, on performance.

00:04:19.000 Joe Biden is extraordinarily strong and that cannot be debated.

00:04:24.000 But I'm sorry, on substance and policy and performance tonight, I mean, the president's performance tonight

00:04:28.000 clearly was disappointing for his supporters.

00:04:32.000 You see that aesthetic there?

00:04:33.000 Whoever was doing the framing for Kamala Harris, probably some Obama operative, they made her look presidential with the flag in the back, the perfect lighting. 0.97

00:04:42.000 She came in remotely and she did the thing.

00:04:44.000 Oh, yeah, you know, we stand by Joe Biden.

00:04:45.000 Joe Biden is fine.

00:04:47.000 I believe Kamala Harris was in on this.

00:04:49.000 This was a plan from the beginning.

00:04:51.000 Throw Joe to the wolves, throw him out for past year, put him in a summer debate.

00:04:56.000 We don't do summer debates in this country.

00:04:58.000 We've never had one in the modern era before.

00:05:00.000 To have a summertime debate?

00:05:02.000 But Obama and Pelosi knew that Joe Biden was not equipped to defeat Donald Trump.

00:05:07.000 That Joe Biden was going to lose in a significant form or fashion.

00:05:12.000 So what you are living through right now is the insurance plan.

00:05:16.000 The backup plan.

00:05:17.000 Otherwise known as Project Coconut Tree. 0.85

00:05:20.000 Kamala Harris famously had that ridiculous clip. 0.99

00:05:23.000 Oh, what do you think? 0.98

00:05:23.000 You fell out of a coconut tree? 0.98

00:05:25.000 She says, you live in the context of which you are and we're unburdened by what has once been absolute word salad and complete nonsense.

00:05:31.000 And it has been and is a conspiracy.

00:05:35.000 And Joe Biden fell for it.

00:05:37.000 Joe Biden fell for the Pelosi-Schumer summer debate trap.

00:05:43.000 And understand what happened this last weekend.

00:05:46.000 That a group of unpopular political leaders and very rich people, they displaced a sitting president of the United States and someone who primary voters voted for, all in the name of democracy.

00:06:01.000 You know, my favorite part of democracy, which we are a republic, but that's a separate issue.

00:06:07.000 My favorite part of democracy is where a small group of people decide to overturn the will of the voters.

00:06:15.000 It was one of two options.

00:06:17.000 Biden does well at that debate, and he just glides to another election between Trump and Biden.

00:06:26.000 But they knew that they were setting him up for what they wanted.

00:06:30.000 Joe Biden likely suffers from sundowner syndrome.

00:06:34.000 His staff knows he's only good between 10 and 3.

00:06:37.000 And they kept on scheduling stuff with him later and later and later.

00:06:41.000 And that was a 9 p.m.

00:06:42.000 Eastern debate.

00:06:44.000 Joe Biden versus Trump.

00:06:45.000 And they threw him into it.

00:06:48.000 Somebody on his team was doing the work of Obama, Pelosi, and Kamala.

00:06:53.000 Somebody on the team knew that if they were able to get a summer debate, they might be able to pull him.

00:07:00.000 And what ensued was a longer-than-expected white-knuckling campaign by Joe Biden.

00:07:07.000 However, Pelosi, being the skilled Machiavellian operative that she is, executed a flawless multi-week campaign against Joe Biden.

00:07:19.000 First, it was lower-level congressmen leaking.

00:07:22.000 Then it was Mid-level senators leaking.

00:07:25.000 Then it was George Clooney.

00:07:27.000 And then finally, Adam Schiff.

00:07:29.000 Chuck Schumer.

00:07:30.000 As the big guns came out.

00:07:33.000 And all of the pieces fell into place.

00:07:37.000 And so now the Democrats are looking for a new candidate.

00:07:41.000 The Democrat Mafia seems to have assembled behind Kamala Harris.

00:07:46.000 One of the most unlikable, nasty, radical individuals in American politics.

00:07:54.000 Just so we are clear, what we are living through is 100% a conspiracy in the truest sense of the word.

00:08:02.000 You have just seen in broad daylight a conspiracy to remove and overturn the will of Democrat voters.

00:08:10.000 Democrat voters wanted Joe Biden to be their nominee.

00:08:14.000 Democrat voters went and voted for Joe Biden to be their nominee.

00:08:17.000 Why do they even have a primary?

00:08:19.000 Because they don't even believe in elections.

00:08:21.000 The side that lectures us relentlessly about democracy has never actually believed in democracy.

00:08:28.000 It is about oligarchy and the soft coup was live-streamed.

00:08:34.000 The literal definition of a conspiracy Also known as a plot, ploy, or scheme is a secret plan or agreement between people for harmful purposes such as murder, treason, or corruption, especially with a political motivation, while keeping their agreement secret from the public or from others.

00:08:54.000 Obama and Pelosi set this entire deal up and Biden fell for it.

00:09:00.000 Jill Biden fell for it.

00:09:01.000 Hunter Biden fell for it.

00:09:03.000 Ron Klain fell for it.

00:09:06.000 While they were all publicly signaling their support, they were stabbing him in the back, and they were overturning the will of Democrat primary voters.

00:09:15.000 And it's that old expression, be careful what you wish for.

00:09:21.000 Yes, that they just told 14 million Democrat primary voters, we hate you, we don't care about you, we want to protect our oligarchy, and we're going to hijack the process.

00:09:32.000 But more fundamental than that, and more importantly, They are now stuck with Kamala Harris.

00:09:40.000 Kamala Harris, who wanted to make critical race theory the education curriculum of the country.

00:09:48.000 Kamala Harris, who is the border czar.

00:09:50.000 Kamala Harris, who went to the Munich Security Conference. 0.88

00:09:53.000 Kamala Harris, who is low IQ, unlikable. 0.97

00:09:57.000 And just as a, just, I want to just say this once. 0.96

00:10:01.000 Where the heck is Joe Biden?

00:10:03.000 Can we get a proof of life of Joe Biden?

00:10:06.000 His signature doesn't match on the letter that he published.

00:10:10.000 Joe Biden didn't do a video.

00:10:11.000 He put this on Twitter.

00:10:14.000 This whole thing is extremely bizarre.

00:10:17.000 It wasn't an official letterhead.

00:10:19.000 He hasn't yet done a public statement or a public event.

00:10:21.000 He hasn't even called into a radio show or a television show.

00:10:25.000 Where is Joe Biden?

00:10:27.000 Well, you have just watched the live streaming of a multi-week soft coup, the likes of which we have not seen in modern American history.

00:10:36.000 And this story is just getting warmed up.

00:10:42.000 Hey everybody, Charlie Kirk here.

00:10:43.000 Can't pay the IRS?

00:10:44.000 Haven't filed in a while?

00:10:45.000 Receiving threatening letters?

00:10:46.000 Yeah, it's about to get even worse.

00:10:49.000 The IRS is hiring an army of agents targeting hard-working Americans just like you.

00:11:47.000 They seem to have found their candidate.

00:11:49.000 The great houses of the Democrat Party, the Mafia, seem to be consolidating behind Kamala.

00:11:56.000 They seem to be coming all together.

00:11:59.000 Obama has yet to endorse, Jeffries has yet to endorse Schumer, Pelosi, but the other big guns have.

00:12:06.000 Allegedly, she raised $50 million.

00:12:09.000 via ActBlue.

00:12:11.000 James O'Keefe has done some great investigation into ActBlue.

00:12:14.000 I find it very, very hard to believe that she raised $50 million.

00:12:18.000 That's just a lot of money through small-dollar donations, but okay, it is what it is.

00:12:22.000 There's been some very suspicious evidence for quite some time on how ActBlue raises money and generates funds, which deserves and warrants a serious investigation.

00:12:33.000 However, if you are a Democrat, they, you know, they're celebrating on Twitter and they're celebrating in their circles.

00:12:40.000 This is amazing!

00:12:42.000 Is this an upgrade?

00:12:44.000 You traded one problem for another.

00:12:47.000 You traded senility, or someone who is senile, for someone who is radical.

00:12:54.000 You traded somebody who you feel bad for to someone who is deeply unlikable.

00:13:02.000 Kamala Harris is two of the worst things that you could be in politics. 1.00

00:13:07.000 She is unlikable and she is radical. 1.00

00:13:09.000 And also she's really stupid. 1.00

00:13:11.000 She's not a smart person. 1.00

00:13:13.000 She's very, very low IQ. 1.00

00:13:15.000 Joe Biden chose her not because she was some wonderful politician.

00:13:21.000 Joe Biden did not choose her based on merit.

00:13:24.000 He chose her based on the same criteria of DEI that got Trump shot.

00:13:30.000 That has been destroying this country.

00:13:34.000 The very same DEI ideology that has been sweeping the nation is now the standard-bearer of the Democrat Party and I think that is perfect.

00:13:46.000 I think it is perfect now that the very same ideology that we have been fighting against is now embodied in the standard-bearer of the Democrat Party.

00:13:57.000 You could not have a better example of the worst aspects Of the country or the Democrat Party.

00:14:07.000 But now that's where she is.

00:14:09.000 She is a DEI candidate.

00:14:11.000 Joe Biden even acknowledged it.

00:14:13.000 Joe Biden said that I chose Kamala Harris not because she was brilliant, not because she was smart, not because she was qualified.

00:14:24.000 I chose her because I wanted a black female as my vice president. 1.00

00:14:31.000 Now some Democrats think this is going to be a big upgrade.

00:14:34.000 But remember, this is an electoral college issue.

00:14:37.000 And I will say this, Joe Biden is actually a better candidate, even with him being senile, in Pennsylvania than Kamala Harris is in Pennsylvania.

00:14:48.000 That's not to say that we're going to win, but for Democrats who think that Kamala Harris is this major upgrade, Joe is a likable old guy.

00:14:56.000 And something that has been very difficult, it's hard to get people to really hate Joe Biden.

00:15:03.000 Not impossible, it's been happening, but instead people are disappointed, people take it easy on Joe Biden.

00:15:09.000 It's because no decent person wants to engage in elder abuse.

00:15:13.000 You feel sorry for him.

00:15:16.000 Kamala Harris is very easy to despise. 1.00

00:15:20.000 Not only does she believe in the most radical ideas, she has played around with abolishing the Electoral College, she wanted to get rid of the filibuster for the Green New Scam, a $100 trillion deal, she said we're going to ban all fracking.

00:15:33.000 By the way, her 2019 presidential race is a goldmine of opposition research.

00:15:38.000 Say what you will about Joe Biden, when Joe Biden ran for the presidency back in 2019-2020, he was far more disciplined.

00:15:44.000 Remember, Kamala Harris started her presidential campaign in Oakland with 20,000 people and tons of money, and she went down and finished 6 out of 6 before primary voting even began.

00:15:55.000 She was not even able to win over the trust of her own Democrat primary voters.

00:15:58.000 In some ways, Kamala Harris is the accidental Democrat nominee.

00:16:03.000 Very similar to Gerald Ford in 1976.

00:16:06.000 Very similar.

00:16:08.000 Gerald Ford was the unelected president.

00:16:10.000 Started as Speaker of the House.

00:16:12.000 They got rid of Spear Agnew.

00:16:13.000 He became VP.

00:16:14.000 They got rid of Nixon.

00:16:15.000 He became president.

00:16:17.000 And then they ran Ford Rockefeller.

00:16:19.000 He never actually was elected president.

00:16:20.000 Kamala Harris technically was elected vice president via being VP with Joe Biden, but she was not elected the nominee.

00:16:28.000 She cannot even win over the primary voters in the Democrat Party.

00:16:33.000 And so they traded senility for unlikability.

00:16:38.000 They traded incompetence for radicalism.

00:16:44.000 So what would you rather have?

00:16:44.000 Would you rather run a candidate who's incompetent and can't put two sentences together, or someone who is deeply scary and radical?

00:16:54.000 Is Kamala really an upgrade for Democrats?

00:16:57.000 I'm excited to run against somebody who wants to ban fossil fuels, get rid of fracking, put in critical race theory, and was the border czar of the greatest invasion in American history.

00:17:09.000 Hey everybody, Charlie Kirk here.

00:17:10.000 Is the bird flu the next pandemic?

00:17:12.000 Why do globalists keep talking about disease X?

00:17:15.000 Everyone knows the next medical crisis is just around the corner.

00:17:18.000 I refuse to lock down again or take another experimental vaccine.

00:17:22.000 What can I do?

00:17:23.000 Whether it comes in the form of a pandemic or something more mundane like a tick bite, you and your family need to be prepared.

00:18:14.000 I'm watching on Real America's Voice here.

00:18:16.000 J.D.

00:18:16.000 Vance, the VP selection.

00:18:17.000 By the way, we have not done... We had last week, obviously, Milwaukee.

00:18:21.000 I haven't had a chance to really enjoy the fact that J.D.

00:18:24.000 is the VP nominee.

00:18:26.000 Just awesome.

00:18:27.000 Amazing to see across the board.

00:18:30.000 So let's go deeper into the Kamala Harris situation.

00:18:33.000 So Kamala Harris is a very unlikable person. 1.00

00:18:39.000 She was not able to win Democrat primary voters.

00:18:41.000 In fact, the more that people hear from Kamala Harris, the less likely they are to support her.

00:18:50.000 Let's just play this piece of tape here and then I want to get John Solomon of just kind of a nice reminder of who you're dealing with and just the most important thing.

00:18:58.000 She was the czar of the border crisis.

00:19:02.000 She was in charge.

00:19:03.000 She oversaw the greatest invasion of our homeland in American history. 0.97

00:19:08.000 Play cut 42.

00:19:09.000 This election in November is going to be about literally our health and whether we live or die.

00:19:15.000 Thank you guys.

00:19:17.000 And my pronouns are she, her, and hers.

00:19:19.000 She, her, and hers.

00:19:21.000 Mine too.

00:19:22.000 So I decided I was going to start prosecuting parents for truancy.

00:19:28.000 What else do we know about this population, 18 through 24? 1.00

00:19:31.000 They are stupid. 1.00

00:19:33.000 They make really bad decisions. 1.00

00:19:35.000 Do you believe that Americans should have the right to vote at age 16?

00:19:39.000 I'm really interested in having that conversation.

00:19:41.000 Convicted.

00:19:42.000 In prison.

00:19:42.000 Like the Boston Marathon bomber.

00:19:44.000 On death row.

00:19:45.000 People who are convicted of sexual assault.

00:19:47.000 They should be able to vote?

00:19:48.000 I think we should have that conversation.

00:19:50.000 She thinks we should do away with the Electoral College. 0.97

00:19:53.000 Do you agree with that?

00:19:55.000 I think that it's, I'm open to the discussion.

00:19:57.000 I am prepared to get rid of the filibuster to pass a Green New Deal. 0.54

00:20:02.000 But would you support changing the dietary guidelines?

00:20:05.000 You know, the food pyramid.

00:20:05.000 Yes!

00:20:06.000 Yes, yes.

00:20:07.000 To reduce red meat specifically.

00:20:09.000 Yes, I would.

00:20:10.000 So would you ban offshore drilling?

00:20:11.000 Yes.

00:20:12.000 Do you ban plastic straws?

00:20:14.000 I think we should.

00:20:15.000 Assault weapons that are already in circulation.

00:20:17.000 What do you do about those?

00:20:18.000 We have to have a buyback program and I support a mandatory buyback program.

00:20:26.000 Joining us now is John Solomon.

00:20:28.000 John, the news is happening so fast that it requires people like yourself to slow down and to analyze it.

00:20:36.000 What should we think of what's occurred these last 24 hours?

00:20:39.000 Well, there was a coup.

00:20:41.000 Essentially, the Democratic Party got rid of their duly elected nominee because he had clearly gotten 14.5 million votes.

00:20:49.000 And they decided, well, we needed a backroom deal because he can't win, so they removed him.

00:20:53.000 And we're back to the days of Tammany Hall, as we talked about yesterday.

00:20:57.000 But now, I think what's going on is the courtship of Kamala Harris with the American people.

00:21:02.000 People are starting to realize, what does she stand for?

00:21:05.000 What has she done when she's run things in the past? 0.71

00:21:07.000 And of course, the border is a really great example.

00:21:10.000 This morning, we heard from two border chiefs.

00:21:12.000 The two border chiefs, since Joe Biden has been president, saying, I never heard from the border czar.

00:21:16.000 Kamala Harris never even bothered to call the two guys in charge of the border. 0.67

00:21:20.000 Not much of a czar if you're not talking to the people that have the operational control and the operational intelligence.

00:21:25.000 Tonight, we will drop a story that's been carefully worked on for about a couple of months.

00:21:29.000 We'll be able to see how Kamala Harris ran her prosecutorial offices. 1.00

00:21:33.000 When you see her management style, the sort of scandals that she allowed to happen on her watch and tried to excuse away, I think people realize she hasn't been very good at running things in the past, and that will raise further questions.

00:21:46.000 Should she be allowed to run the country or even run for the position of running the country? 1.00

00:21:50.000 I think people are going to learn a lot about him.

00:21:52.000 I said yesterday, the more people get to know about Kamala Harris, the less they're going to like her.

00:21:56.000 I think that process is beginning right now.

00:21:59.000 Yeah, it's beginning.

00:22:00.000 And remember, her closest race was running for attorney general in 2010, where she barely won, under half of a percent.

00:22:07.000 Meanwhile, Barbara Boxer and Jerry Brown at the time won by 10 to 15 points.

00:22:13.000 That was in deep blue California for the statewide attorney's general race.

00:22:19.000 Now, she is collecting endorsements from J.B.

00:22:22.000 Pritzker, from Gretchen Whitmer, from Wes Moore, from Andy Beshear, but Kamala Harris, she has never cut her teeth in tough races where she has proven that she can win over the constituencies necessary. 0.99

00:22:38.000 She is a California radical liberal Marxist That is now being thrust into a presidential race where she has to compete in Pennsylvania, in Michigan, in Wisconsin. 0.95

00:22:51.000 What type of race do you think she'll run? 1.00

00:22:53.000 I believe she's going to run far left with identity politics because she knows she's not going to be able to win over white working class male voters. 0.99

00:23:01.000 John Solomon.

00:23:02.000 Yeah, listen, I think she's going to have to play to her base to keep them in position.

00:23:06.000 So watch where she pivots on Israel-Palestine.

00:23:09.000 Watch where she pivots on all of the main issues involving parents' rights, where she's not been particularly strong even up to this date.

00:23:16.000 I think she'll double down on the state having more and more say over children. 1.00

00:23:22.000 And she'll try to hold her base together in hopes that that will give her a coalition. 1.00

00:23:26.000 But she has some really significant problems.

00:23:28.000 We do have some Real evidence of what it looked like when she ran for national office.

00:23:32.000 She got like 1% of the vote in the Democratic primary against a 77, 78-year-old presidential candidate who wasn't exactly vim and vigor. 0.98

00:23:41.000 And so I think, you know, her ability to appeal to national audiences actually failed the one time she tried.

00:23:49.000 And she's had some difficult races in California. 0.82

00:23:51.000 I think the key is getting people to understand what she has said, And what sort of management style she had, particularly as a prosecutor.

00:23:59.000 I think there's a lot of liability in the records that we've gathered from her time as Attorney General of California and as District Attorney in San Francisco.

00:24:09.000 A lot of things are going to come to light in the next couple days.

00:24:11.000 Yeah, and Joe Biden was able to present himself as a fake moderate to some folks.

00:24:18.000 Kamala Harris comes across as a very, very far-left liberal in many different ways.

00:24:25.000 So, John, let's talk about this.

00:24:27.000 Who actually executed the coup?

00:24:29.000 It seems as if it was Pelosi and Obama, and it goes all the way back to Joe Biden accepting the summertime debate offer.

00:24:37.000 As soon as Joe Biden did that, he entered the crossfire of what was... That was a poison pill.

00:24:42.000 That was a poison pill.

00:24:44.000 Who set that up?

00:24:45.000 In my opinion, Kamala Harris did not travel with Joe Biden.

00:24:49.000 She was set up with a remote interview looking awfully presidential with the aesthetic and the flag behind her. 0.97

00:24:56.000 Who did this?

00:24:57.000 Who poison-pilled Joe Biden's candidacy?

00:25:00.000 It may have been his own campaign, which at that point had some serious doubts.

00:25:05.000 I mean, since the Robert Hurt interview last October, his own people realized how easily he was confused and how he might look to audiences who weren't used to seeing him behind scenes this confused.

00:25:15.000 And so I think Some of the debate concept was his own team road testing the CARB so that they would have the ability to either course correct or pull out, which is obviously what they did.

00:25:27.000 The coup after the disastrous debate was clearly Barack Obama and Kamala Harris to some degree.

00:25:34.000 Kamala Harris would say publicly all the right things like she was in Joe Biden's corner,

00:25:38.000 but she clearly was positioning herself to inherit the job and to push him aside. 0.62

00:25:43.000 But I do think that Barack Obama was really the tipping point.

00:25:47.000 When he came out and wrote his op-ed, that's when everything came tumbling down on Joe Biden.

00:25:52.000 He had nowhere else to run.

00:25:54.000 And I think Obama's had serious reservations about Biden for about a year.

00:25:59.000 I think people who know what's going on in the White House, and Barack Obama has a lot of his people

00:26:03.000 still planted in the White House, knew that Joe Biden was slipping and slipping in a big way.

00:26:07.000 They kept it quiet from the public, but they knew themselves that they were going

00:26:11.000 to have a difficult summer.

00:26:13.000 And they orchestrated a pretty significant coup.

00:26:17.000 Who do you believe she is going to select as vice president? 0.99

00:26:20.000 Well, you know, I think a lot of the media are thinking, well, maybe we should go with a moderator, go with a Josh Shapiro or someone like that.

00:26:27.000 I think your instinct is right, Charlie.

00:26:29.000 But what I'm hearing from my reporting is that she's going to embrace the left even more vigorously than Joe Biden did and be comfortable with them and not try to moderate or try to pretend that she's a moderate.

00:26:40.000 Her record won't sustain pretending she's a moderate. 0.99

00:26:43.000 So she's going to double down and see what sort of coalition She can put together and see how much she can steal from Robert F. Kennedy, people who were defecting to Kennedy. 0.77

00:26:52.000 But I think the problem is she loses so many of those independent voters who are simply not going to be pleased to hear the things that she stands for.

00:26:59.000 I agree.

00:27:00.000 I think it's an opportunity, actually, for Donald Trump to win back baby boomer voters and to win back suburban voters where, you know, suburban and baby boomer voters tended to tilt towards Joe Biden.

00:27:13.000 The appearance they had on TV was Joe Biden was very stable and very presidential, quote unquote.

00:27:21.000 But in reality, we know that he was a radical.

00:27:23.000 But, John, despite all of our attempts We were not able to effectively penetrate the independent consensus that Joe Biden was a radical.

00:27:36.000 He was, but we weren't able to persuade people of that.

00:27:39.000 We were able to say that he was incompetent and that he was senile.

00:27:42.000 Kamala Harris, people already believe that she's a radical. 0.99

00:27:46.000 Final thoughts, John Solomon.

00:27:48.000 Well listen, immigration and inflation are still going to be the two issues, and Kamala Harris owns all of that. 0.73

00:27:54.000 In fact, she may even double down on the very policies that have led to both of those crises that have angered America.

00:28:00.000 That is a really strong card for Donald Trump to keep playing.

00:28:03.000 There's no way for Kamala Harris to escape the Joe Biden record. 1.00

00:28:06.000 It may be why Barack Obama hasn't endorsed yet.

00:28:09.000 There's an oddity that Barack Obama foisted Kamala Harris on Joe Biden, but as of today hasn't yet gotten behind her candidacy.

00:28:17.000 He may be panicked that she can't carry this honor.

00:28:19.000 She owns too much of the Biden legacy.

00:28:21.000 That is a dynamic to watch very closely in the next 72 hours.

00:28:25.000 John, excellent work as always.

00:28:26.000 Thank you so much.

00:28:27.000 Really appreciate it.

00:28:27.000 Great to be with you, Charlie.

00:28:28.000 Thank you.

00:30:23.000 This just goes to show the lemmings that are the American Democrat party. 0.94

00:30:29.000 We wouldn't put up with this as conservatives.

00:30:33.000 Our MAGA base would not put up with this.

00:30:35.000 Let me, let me, let me, let me actually prove it to you.

00:30:38.000 They say, oh, we're pulling Joe Biden because he's down in the polls.

00:30:42.000 In the summer of 2020, Donald Trump was down 16 points to Joe Biden in the state of Wisconsin.

00:30:51.000 16 points.

00:30:53.000 Down 16 points in the state of Wisconsin.

00:30:57.000 There were some people that were saying, we gotta pull Trump, we gotta pull Trump.

00:31:01.000 But Trump is not like the Democrat Party. 0.97

00:31:04.000 The base of the Democrat Party, they are lemmings, they are sheep. 0.95

00:31:07.000 They're on their seventh booster shot.

00:31:09.000 Because the first six worked so well.

00:31:12.000 These are people that wear masks when they drove in cars alone.

00:31:18.000 These are people that are not independent thinkers. 0.93

00:31:21.000 And many of them are suffering from deep mental illnesses. 0.65

00:31:26.000 A lot of people on the radical left is.

00:31:29.000 And that's been well documented.

00:31:32.000 And they're just going to say, oh yeah, in the name of democracy, let's not have a primary anymore.

00:31:37.000 And the leaders of the Democrat Party know that they can play their base like a fiddle.

00:31:44.000 That they know that they can play it easily.

00:31:50.000 And they just removed a sitting President of the United States and winner of a primary.

00:31:59.000 And the media is already framing him as a hero to the country.

00:32:03.000 This has been a tortured decision for Joe Biden.

00:32:07.000 Play cut nine.

00:32:09.000 This has been a tortured decision, I'm told, for President Biden, something he arrived at after a long and winding series of conversations, where until the very end, the 11th hour here, he was insisting to many in his family and his inner circle that he wanted to stay in.

00:32:24.000 He firmly believes, even now, that former President Trump is a threat to American democracy.

00:32:29.000 He believed until the 11th hour that he beat Trump once, he could beat Trump again.

00:32:34.000 But he knew also that as a longtime political operator, someone who has more of a political antenna than almost anyone I've ever covered, that he was losing support fast from Democrats.

00:32:43.000 He lost Democrats who have long supported him.

00:32:47.000 And he wanted to go into the convention with strength.

00:32:49.000 And if that became no longer possible, And he was facing a crossroads where the party might not be with him at that convention in Chicago.

00:32:57.000 And there hadn't been whispers yet of someone mounting a challenge against Biden for the nomination at the convention.

00:33:03.000 But there was certainly talk that if Biden didn't step away in the coming weeks, someone might have to start to run against him.

00:33:10.000 They pulled a sitting president of the United States.

00:33:14.000 The great houses and the mafia of the Democrat Party, they are in harmony that Kamala Harris is next.

00:33:22.000 And understand this, if you think that Joe Biden's presidency was destructive to this country, she's more radical, she has more energy, she has more passion than Joe Biden.

00:33:32.000 She believes in the fundamental destruction of the United States of America.

00:33:38.000 The coalition that Kamala Harris is going to try to create is with black voters, women voters, and younger voters. 0.99

00:33:47.000 Interestingly, the Republican coalition is actually going to take back its form.

00:33:51.000 Suburban voters and boomers with more and more gains in Hispanic neighborhoods, in black neighborhoods.

00:34:00.000 Kamala Harris.

00:34:02.000 They say, oh, she's, uh, they've never won an election.

00:34:04.000 This is Molly Jong Fast, play cut 36.

00:34:08.000 What hurt her in the primary was that she was very centrist for a lot of the Democratic base.

00:34:15.000 Right.

00:34:16.000 But that actually helps her in the general.

00:34:18.000 Like, here she is.

00:34:19.000 She is a sex crimes prosecutor.

00:34:21.000 That was what she, you know, ran on when she became the DA in San Francisco.

00:34:27.000 So, it is really interesting.

00:34:29.000 And remember, she won a primary challenge.

00:34:31.000 Her first race in San Francisco was a primary challenge against another Democrat who she had worked for.

00:34:38.000 So to say she's never won a hard election is actually not true.

00:34:42.000 Oh yeah, her political experience is winning a local election in San Francisco about who is the most liberal.

00:34:50.000 Kamala Harris and the Democrats right now, they are being crushed by the weight of their own lies and deceit.

00:34:58.000 Democrats are now suffocating from years of hubris and corruption.

00:35:04.000 Kamala Harris looks as if she is likely to become the nominee.

00:35:09.000 Likely to become the torchbearer.

00:35:12.000 She is the DEI candidate.

00:35:15.000 She's a California, cackling, communist, liberal.

00:35:20.000 She did not earn her way to become vice president.

00:35:23.000 And she is not ready for the big leagues.

00:35:26.000 Trump v. Harris.

00:35:29.000 The future of the country hangs in the balance.

00:35:31.000 Thanks so much for listening.
