The Charlie Kirk Show - Why Removing Biden is Harder Than It Looks

Chris Bedford joins us to talk about why it's harder to remove Joe Biden than you might think. Also, the fight over pro-life at the Democratic National Convention. Jeff Webb joins the program as we talk about Joe Biden s quickly deteriorating mental state. Charlie Kirk is the Co-Founder of Turning Point USA, a powerful youth organization that fights for freedom and justice on college campuses across the country. He is also the President and Founder of the Center for American Progress, a pro-choice political action committee that campaigns for the 2020 Democratic presidential nominee, Kamala Harris. He has been a long time friend of mine, and I think you'll agree that he's one of the most brilliant human beings I've ever met. He's also one of my favorite people to talk to, and he's a great friend to listen to, so it's no surprise that I brought him on The Charlie Kirk Show to talk all things Democratic presidential politics and what's going on in the Democratic primary race and why he thinks it's time for Joe Biden to step down from the ticket. If he doesn't decide to run for president in 2020, it's going to be a big problem for the Democrats. Chris Bedford is a senior politics editor at The Blaze and a regular contributor for The Blaze, and has been with me for years. . He's a super smart guy, so I thought he'd come on the show to give us his take on the Democratic presidential candidates and their chances of beating Hillary Clinton in 2020. and why it would be a good idea to get Joe Biden out of the race. And he's not only to run against Hillary Clinton. What do you think of Joe Biden's chances of being the Democratic nominee? If Joe Biden decides to leave the race, what would you think? What would you would you do if he decides to run in 2020? And what s your thoughts on what s going to happen if he does decide to quit the race? or if he s tired of running for president? and what s the best person to replace him? Join the conversation on the ticket? Subscribe to our new podcast, and what do you'd like to see Joe Biden do in 2020 and who s running against Hillary and what would he s running for him in 2020 and who would you ditching him in the primary?

00:01:36.000 The race is on.

00:01:37.000 And the question is, are they going to poll Joe Biden with Kamala Harris or somebody else?

00:01:41.000 Joining us now is Chris Bedford, super smart, from Blaze Media.

00:01:46.000 And he's a senior politics editor, DC correspondent for The Blaze.

00:01:49.000 Reality check, you can't just switch candidates.

00:01:52.000 I always look to Christopher Bedford to sober us.

00:01:58.000 It's great to be here.

00:02:00.000 The Democrats have basically been running from reality for a couple of years now.

00:02:04.000 Back in 2020, they were running from the reality of how far left their party had gone.

00:02:08.000 And because of that, they ended up nominating Joe Biden, who was basically no one's first choice.

00:02:13.000 He wasn't Barack Obama's first choice.

00:02:15.000 He wasn't the party's first choice.

00:02:16.000 He wasn't the activist's first choice.

00:02:18.000 But they had to square the fact that, well, he's an old white guy, and they've been running against them for years.

00:02:23.000 Then they had to add Amala Harris to that. 0.93

00:02:26.000 And he ended up with a campaign that Wasn't anyone's first choice, but they decided they could run it against Donald Trump.

00:02:31.000 Now they're, after four years of running from the reality of obvious cognitive decline by their candidate, they finally had to acknowledge after the debate that this was something that could not be hidden anymore.

00:02:42.000 And there's a panic, and they're running for fantasy yet again, except this time it's going to be a whole lot more complicated.

00:02:48.000 You hear people like Michelle Obama floated, or Hillary Clinton, or Gavin Newsom, or Whitmer out in Michigan.

00:02:55.000 These candidates can't simply be swapped in, and there's a couple things that are holding them back.

00:03:01.000 One, the Biden's grip on power.

00:03:03.000 They have a lot of folks in that campaign that all their access to power, all their access to influence, all their access to money, It's based on defending Joe Biden.

00:03:12.000 Two, the federal election finances, there are actually rules on this.

00:03:19.000 The money that's been raised for Joe Biden can't simply be given out to other campaigns.

00:03:24.000 There are limits on that.

00:03:26.000 That's a huge sticking point.

00:03:28.000 So what Democrats are actually going to be faced with, and we're starting to start to see break today from James Clyburn and others, influential Democrats in the House, is that Kamala Harris is the only other choice, aside from Joe Biden, that at least wouldn't completely torpedo the Democrats' media strategy and campaign buying strategy.

00:03:47.000 Yeah, so I want to play this tape again.

00:03:48.000 We played it before, and it's worth repeating.

00:03:51.000 It's James Clyburn, and you mentioned it.

00:03:53.000 It's cut 64, where he says, well, you know, it's for Joe or for Kamala.

00:03:57.000 They're a good one-two combo.

00:03:59.000 Now, to your point, though, Christopher, the money stays if Kamala Harris becomes the nominee, because it's a joint ticket.

00:04:06.000 So if she becomes the nominee, that war chest goes untouched.

00:04:11.000 So that's an argument in Kamala Harris' favor. 0.99

00:04:13.000 Let's play cut 64.

00:04:15.000 How would you feel if there is a decision for him to step down, if he decides that, and he has to decide that, or if the party pressures him to do that?

00:04:25.000 How would you feel if they worked around and tried to go around Kamala Harris because of her lack of high poll numbers and popularity and broadly based?

00:04:35.000 Do you think it's hers to have if it is not his? 0.65

00:04:37.000 I will support her if he were to step aside.

00:04:43.000 But I want to support her going forward at some time in the future.

00:04:48.000 I want this ticket to continue to be Biden-Harris, and then we'll see what happens after the next election.

00:04:56.000 No, this party should not in any way do anything to work around Ms. 0.99

00:05:04.000 Harris.

00:05:05.000 We should do everything we can to bolster her, whether it's in second place or at the top of the ticket.

00:05:12.000 Well, that is a narrative change, Christopher.

00:05:14.000 Tell us.

00:05:16.000 Clyburn's important in this situation.

00:05:18.000 He's the reason that Joe Biden was probably the Democratic nominee and is now the president in the first place.

00:05:24.000 People who went down, including myself, right as COVID was starting to hit and shut things down, went down to South Carolina for the primary, were wondering if this was going to be the last stop on the road for Joe Biden.

00:05:34.000 He'd done poorly in Iowa.

00:05:35.000 He'd done poorly in New Hampshire.

00:05:36.000 James Clyburn came out and basically said, we don't want these other radicals out there.

00:05:40.000 Joe Biden's our guy.

00:05:42.000 Now, of course, Joe Biden is governed as radical as anyone on that stage would have ended up promising to, but he's the reason that Joe Biden ended up getting that win and then going to Super Tuesday and hitting it out of the park for the Democrats after that.

00:05:55.000 So his voice carries a lot of power in this.

00:05:59.000 And it also shows that there's been a lot of kind of tinkling around the edges and people talking about, well, could we skip this black woman over?

00:06:06.000 Could we skip this South Asian woman over with all the race politics that they put at the center of the Democratic Party? 1.00

00:06:13.000 And they've been kind of hoping that maybe they could because Even though Joe Biden might be a gently alive corpse, Pamela Harris is probably one of the least popular people in the country next to Mitch McConnell.

00:06:23.000 That's right.

00:06:24.000 Her appearance at the Black Entertainment Television Awards this week was a disaster. 0.72

00:06:29.000 She doesn't actually connect with Black voters in any way.

00:06:32.000 When Gavin Newsom was in trouble and facing a recall in California, they didn't even ask her to come back and campaign for him in California.

00:06:40.000 That's how unpopular she is. 1.00

00:06:42.000 But James Clyburn coming out and saying he's going to support her, well, that is also a warning shot to Democrats who might want to put Gavin Newsom or some other white person at the top of this ticket, that they can't so easily slip over Kamala.

00:06:54.000 Yeah, so Christopher, I want to reiterate that.

00:06:57.000 How unpopular is Kamala Harris? 1.00

00:06:59.000 If they switch it out, in fact, there are certain demographics where Democrats will do far worse with, for example, older voters and white working class voters, if Kamala Harris actually ends up being the nominee.

00:07:12.000 I wonder how well she even really connects with the Black population that she's supposedly supposed to be a mascot for.

00:07:17.000 If you see her campaign ad she cut at the BET Awards, she's sitting there and she's talking in this street parlance which she got completely mocked for because it's not at all how she talks in real life.

00:07:32.000 But she's not talking about issues that affect Black grandmothers or black mothers or black children or people who are dealing with these different issues here in Washington, D.C., where I live, where there's a huge problem of absent fathers, there's a huge problem with drugs, there's huge problems with crime, there's problems with jobs. 0.97

00:07:48.000 She was out there instead talking about basically white college professor garbage, whether it's transgenderism or the most recent access to the pill and things like that. 1.00

00:07:59.000 Those aren't the issues that are actually impacting the Black community at the same level, but she's not a really great candidate to go out there and reach out to them. 0.96

00:08:07.000 Now, CNN's got a poll out right now where they're claiming that she would actually be the best person, even better than Joe Biden, but I don't think the Democratic Party is quick to believe that.

00:08:17.000 Yeah, and there are a lot of elements that go into this.

00:08:20.000 So if they were to switch it out, if they were to say, Kamala, you're the one, she doesn't become president.

00:08:27.000 So she's running for president as vice president. 1.00

00:08:30.000 So Joe Biden would effectively finish out his term.

00:08:33.000 They'd have to figure out a vice president.

00:08:36.000 But all this comes back to Joe Biden has to relinquish his delegates, doesn't he?

00:08:39.000 He has to release them.

00:08:41.000 Yes.

00:08:42.000 Although the Democratic delegates get more freedom to do that sort of thing.

00:08:46.000 Than Republicans do.

00:08:47.000 Republican delegates are largely, except for the superdelegates, committed based on how their states voted.

00:08:53.000 Democrats, as I understand the convention, is a lot more freewheeling.

00:08:56.000 At the end of the day, you still really would need Joe Biden's blessing on this whole thing or you risk just a massive civil war walking right into the election.

00:09:05.000 And the Democrats here, their point is not to get rid of Joe Biden.

00:09:08.000 They don't really care.

00:09:09.000 I don't think they've ever really cared that much about Joe Biden or to put Kamala Harris in president.

00:09:14.000 Point for them is to defeat Donald Trump.

00:09:17.000 So a Democrat civil war at the top would be a disaster.

00:09:20.000 And if they try to get him to step down, maybe even within the next week himself as the presidential nominee before this convention and put Kamala Harris up there, well, you're going to start to see Republicans start clamoring and saying, well, if Joe Biden is not mentally fit to run for president, then how is he mentally fit to be president?

00:09:39.000 And they're going to try and push Kamala Harris to invoke the 25th amendment and actually take his place. 1.00

00:09:44.000 No, I don't think she's ever actually going to do that.

00:09:47.000 But this sort of floor fight would force Democrat after Democrat to come to the floor of the House and the Senate and talk about how the person who they don't think is capable of even running for president should still have the nuclear codes.

00:09:59.000 And I also think that if that happens, we won't see that much of Joe Biden going forward.

00:10:04.000 If he's not running for reelection in the end, his White House days of even a lot of public ceremonies will probably draw to a close.

00:10:11.000 Christopher, fill us in on the coming convention.

00:10:14.000 That is two weeks away.

00:10:15.000 Can you believe it, that the RNC is two weeks away?

00:10:18.000 I can.

00:10:19.000 I was just looking at my calendar, trying to plan out the month, and I realized, holy smokes, I'm leaving just a week from Sunday.

00:10:25.000 But a lot of folks are getting in there early, and those are the folks who are going to be hammering out what the party's platform is.

00:10:32.000 The Republican Party hasn't had a platform change in eight years.

00:10:35.000 Usually you kind of want to update it from time to time.

00:10:37.000 For example, the 2016 platform has a whole lot in it about how they don't like Barack Obama.

00:10:43.000 That's not really that important when you're running in 2020, but they use the excuse of COVID to say, and the lack of a convention to say, we're just not going to do party platform this time around.

00:10:53.000 But in 2024, we're in for some changes, actually some really dangerous changes.

00:10:59.000 There is a push coming from the Trump campaign in particular, To try and get the pro-life language in the platform out.

00:11:06.000 Now the 2016 platform was about as bold as any Republican platform that has ever been on the pro-life issue.

00:11:13.000 But in the years since, despite being a historic president for getting some of the, for example, for helping to repeal Roe v. Wade, The relationship between Trump and a lot of the pro-life groups is really sour.

00:11:26.000 And he says that they weren't there to back him up, and he blames them for some of the election losses that he had.

00:11:31.000 He's really walked kind of a careful line these past couple of months.

00:11:35.000 I think one that's not really angered too many people, it's allowed his pro-life supporters to really stay on.

00:11:41.000 But in the convention, the strong rumor going through the panic phone calls and text messages I've been getting, is that there's going to be a move to really simplify The platform and in the process, potentially take that out entirely.

00:11:54.000 And maybe in a better case, just water it down.

00:11:58.000 So what is your role?

00:11:59.000 What do you think is a way to try to make sure we are still clearly in the, um, I'm a hundred percent pro-life that, that there's a pro-life declarative statement in the platform committee.

00:12:11.000 What would success look like in that regard, in your opinion?

00:12:14.000 I think you need to make some noise here.

00:12:16.000 Now remember, Ronald Reagan made fun of the party platforms.

00:12:20.000 It's something that not a lot of people read, and he's generally right. 1.00

00:12:23.000 But the platform serves a couple of important notices.

00:12:26.000 For example, perches, which aren't legally allowed to talk about politics, of course some of them do anyways, aren't actually allowed to endorse candidates.

00:12:35.000 They are allowed within the IRS rules to talk about party platforms.

00:12:40.000 The moral majority really made a lot of hay out of this, where even with their nonprofit status over the years, they would just send out snippets of the Democratic Party platform next to snippets of the Republican Party platform and let them speak for themselves as a way to really influence voters.

00:12:54.000 I mean, right now, Donald Trump has a Republican Party that is completely unified behind him.

00:12:59.000 The Never Trumpers have either come around or are gone.

00:13:02.000 There's very, very few people who are intending to stay home, and that's shown in the polls.

00:13:06.000 If you read the morning newsletters coming out of DC, there's panic amongst the Democrats over just trying to send their money, even just triage, to the House of Representatives and maybe give up on holding the Senate for the Democratic Party.

00:13:19.000 So that makes no sense for the Republican Party to want to actually divide some of the activist base here.

00:13:25.000 And while I do think there are a lot of folks who would end up coming around and voting for Donald Trump on this, he would tick off a huge amount of his activists.

00:13:33.000 There are definitely people Who would stay home if he ended up doing this?

00:13:37.000 And at the end of the day, it's also not going to bring Democrats over.

00:13:41.000 Nothing's going to stop Kamala Harris or Joe Biden or whoever the nominee ends up being from running ads saying that Donald Trump wants to take away the pill and take away condoms, take away contraception, stop abortion.

00:13:52.000 They'll do that regardless.

00:13:54.000 So it's really only a negative.

00:13:56.000 I think the best way to kind of make some, to change this is to make a lot of noise about it.

00:14:01.000 Usually, Thanks to the efforts of the late Phyllis Schlafly, there's been press and media in these rules and platform hearings. 0.97

00:14:09.000 This year, there's a rumor that it's going to be closed.

00:14:12.000 Tony Perkins is trying to do everything he can to make it open again, but once those doors get closed, if there's no pressure from media, no pressure from activists, no visibility, well, that's where the kind of swampy things happen, like your movie in pro-life.

00:14:25.000 So, I mean, do you think it's conceivable that pro-life is removed completely?

00:14:30.000 I would find that hard to believe that that would end up happening.

00:14:34.000 I think the most likely at this point is it's watered down.

00:14:37.000 Maybe it's changed from an overtly pro-life platform to one that is critical of the Democrat stance on Late term abortion or something like that.

00:14:47.000 That's kind of where a lot of folks, some of the new folks, newer folks with the MAGA movement, maybe outside of more social conservative traditionalists, do want to take it.

00:14:56.000 And it's a danger very, very much politically for the pro-life movement.

00:15:00.000 So if they were capable of stripping this and they were able to do it, then they, and right now they have the votes.

00:15:06.000 La Civita has talked about how he's basically got control over two thirds to three quarters of the delegates who are going to be actually voting on this.

00:15:14.000 They're going to do whatever the president really says.

00:15:16.000 The RNC hasn't got their finger on this.

00:15:18.000 It's what President Trump wants.

00:15:20.000 If he were to strip it and he were to win, then a lot of other candidates that may have come up on his coattails are going to see that and probably try to follow it.

00:15:28.000 It's going to be a pretty big danger to social conservatives, but there still are 20 to 30 delegates right now who are quietly talking about how they want to push back and maybe just get watered down language and just keep a foothold.

00:15:42.000 Hey everybody, Charlie Kirk here.

00:15:43.000 What an unbelievable start to 2024.

00:15:45.000 We had last month saving babies with preborn by providing ultrasounds.

00:15:49.000 And we're doing again this year what we did last year.

00:15:51.000 We're going to stand for life because remaining silent in the face of the most radically pro-death administration is not an option.

00:15:56.000 As Sir Edmund Burke said, the only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing, and we're not going to do nothing.

00:16:02.000 Your gift to preborn will give a girl the truth about what's happening in her body so that she can make the right choice.

00:16:09.000 $280 can save 10 babies.

00:16:11.000 $28 a month can save a baby a month all year long.

00:16:14.000 And a $15,000 gift will provide a complete ultrasound machine that will save thousands of babies for years and years to come.

00:16:20.000 And we'll also save moms from a lifetime of pain and regret.

00:16:23.000 Call 833-850-2229.

00:16:26.000 That's 833-850-2229.

00:16:44.000 Hunter Biden has joined meetings with President Biden and his top aides this week at the White House.

00:16:48.000 For people familiar with the matter, tell my colleagues who are told the reaction from some senior White House staff is, quote, what the hell is happening?

00:16:57.000 Just one quick note before I get to Jeff here.

00:17:00.000 Have you noticed that there's been no reporting of the Biden White House for four years?

00:17:03.000 And now we're learning who's in meetings and who's moving around the place.

00:17:06.000 There has been no reporting.

00:17:09.000 They have not even, who's running the White House, no one cares.

00:17:11.000 But now all of a sudden we get intimate details of Camp David and leaking and staffers and colleagues at Hunter Biden's Senate tables.

00:17:17.000 Joining us now is Jeff Webb, a great American CEO of the Human Events Media Group.

00:17:22.000 Of course you know Jack Posobiec and the great group there.

00:17:24.000 Jeff, welcome to the program.

00:17:26.000 Hey Charlie, great to be with you.

00:17:28.000 Jeff, I want your reaction to the debate.

00:17:31.000 And also, you know, you and I were texting.

00:17:32.000 I meant to have you on before the debate, and you were worried about CNN.

00:17:34.000 We were worried about the fairness.

00:17:35.000 Both of us, I totally agreed.

00:17:37.000 I was actually kind of blown away by how CNN handled the debate.

00:17:41.000 Your reaction, Jeff?

00:17:42.000 Yeah, I agree.

00:17:43.000 The moderators were more moderate than I thought they would be.

00:17:47.000 I think maybe there were a few little extra, you know, snippets from Biden and a few things.

00:17:52.000 But all in all, I thought they did a pretty good job.

00:17:55.000 I thought it was pretty fair.

00:17:58.000 Yeah, and it was interesting to see, I mean, like, you know, Dana Bash was, she followed up a couple times, but generally they didn't interject too much.

00:18:06.000 It wasn't like Chris Wallace, who just tried to dominate the entire debate.

00:18:10.000 And so your reaction post-debate here, Jeff, on the political dynamics and President Trump's performance, and I want to play some of the tape actually from the debate.

00:18:19.000 Yeah, well, I thought that, first of all, I think President Trump did a very good job.

00:18:25.000 He was relaxed, very much in tune with the issues.

00:18:31.000 He had a good knowledge base, communicated well.

00:18:35.000 I thought he did a great job.

00:18:37.000 I thought Biden was obviously very rehearsed. 0.99

00:18:41.000 He started every answer with, he's a liar. 0.99

00:18:48.000 Well, and again, let's go back and count how many times he called Trump a liar. 0.88

00:18:52.000 I mean, just things that don't come across as the right kind of image, certainly not very presidential.

00:18:56.000 And the very idea, the very idea, you're exactly right.

00:18:58.000 Please continue.

00:18:59.000 Well, and again, how many times, let's, let's go back and count how

00:19:03.000 many times he called Trump a liar.

00:19:04.000 I mean, just things that don't come across as the right kind of image.

00:19:09.000 Certainly not very presidential.

00:19:10.000 I think that again, you and I were talking about the risk that President

00:19:16.000 Trump had because he already had momentum going into the debates and

00:19:19.000 there seemed to be more downside.

00:19:21.000 And we were also afraid that the moderators would be more dominant, which they weren't.

00:19:26.000 So I think Trump clearly won the debate.

00:19:30.000 I think the polls are showing it.

00:19:32.000 I thought that Biden might, things might even add a little bit.

00:19:35.000 People quit talking about replacing him after a couple of days, but seems to be picking up steam.

00:19:41.000 So.

00:19:44.000 And what's been remarkable to see is how many liberal donors are shocked by this.

00:19:57.000 I want to first play this montage.

00:19:59.000 If you were paying attention, Jeff, you and I have talked about this for quite some time, and Human Events has done such a great job of covering this, is the mental decline.

00:20:06.000 I mean, I've dealt with family members that have had Some form of mental slip or dementia or Alzheimer's or a mixture of both.

00:20:13.000 It is a sad thing and it accelerates very quickly by the way.

00:20:17.000 Months can be years with this disease and the sickness.

00:20:20.000 I want to play this.

00:20:21.000 If you were paying attention the last couple of years you would have saw this.

00:20:25.000 Play cut 46.

00:20:25.000 46. I said I'm going to be president for everybody whether they live in a red state or green state. I

00:20:30.000 Anyway, I don't want to I don't want to making Roe v. Ware.

00:20:43.000 The best way to get something done, if you, if it holds near and dear to you, that you, uh, um, like to be able to... Anyway.

00:20:52.000 Uh, Putin's kleptocracy, uh, uh, yeah.

00:20:58.000 Fifty thousand, one hundred fifty-nine thousand billion dollars led.

00:21:02.000 America is a nation that can be defined in a single word.

00:21:07.000 Jeff, if we were paying attention the last year, we saw that.

00:21:10.000 What am I doing here? One, two... A well-meaning elderly man with a poor memory. Jeff, if we were paying attention

00:21:27.000 the last year, we saw that. Your reaction, Jeff, on how did liberals... What's your theory, Jeff? Do you hang around a

00:21:36.000 little more liberals than I do?

00:21:36.000 Did they not know?

00:21:37.000 Or did they just live through denial?

00:21:39.000 Jeff, help me understand.

00:21:42.000 Yeah, well, I think that, I don't know how you, how you, how they couldn't know.

00:21:46.000 And it's really painful to watch when you put that whole sequence together of all those isolated events.

00:21:52.000 But I think it's been obvious, but I mean, let's face it, the, you know, the left gets a free pass from the, from the media.

00:21:59.000 They're always making excuses.

00:22:01.000 Imagine if that had been Donald Trump or Ron DeSantis or anybody.

00:22:07.000 Um, you know, that's that's conservative.

00:22:09.000 They would have been skewered.

00:22:11.000 So I think it's a combination of people not wanting to believe it, hoping that it could be could be controlled.

00:22:17.000 I mean, listen, let's go all the way back to the to the last election and Biden hiding in the basement.

00:22:24.000 I mean, this started a long time ago.

00:22:26.000 It just it has just picked up steam.

00:22:28.000 You're exactly right.

00:22:29.000 It's accelerating at such a rate that it's it's impossible for anybody to ignore it.

00:22:34.000 It's there and it's not going to get any better and apparently it's beyond being even improved by drugs because that didn't look like that was apparent the other day either.

00:22:49.000 Alright, I need to tell you guys about StrongCell.

00:22:51.000 It's amazing.

00:22:52.000 With nearly a million units bought by you, it is more clear than ever that StrongCell works.

00:24:42.000 What I think is the buried lead here is how Democrats in the days leading were defiant and they were insistent that Biden was fine.

00:24:51.000 This is the shot chaser.

00:24:52.000 One, Biden bluster.

00:24:55.000 Two, Democrats insisting you're the problem.

00:24:59.000 It's a cheap fake, deep fake.

00:25:01.000 Play cut 47.

00:25:03.000 He is sharp, intensely probing, and detail-oriented and focused.

00:25:08.000 This is a man who is sharp, who is on top of his game, who knows what's going on.

00:25:12.000 This guy's tough, he's smart, he's on his game.

00:25:15.000 His mental acuity is great.

00:25:17.000 This is a very sharp president.

00:25:20.000 This is a man that's on his game.

00:25:21.000 President Biden is absolutely There's not a problem.

00:25:26.000 He's sharp, he's fit, he's always answering questions.

00:25:29.000 He is on the ball.

00:25:30.000 He was sharper than anyone I've spoken to.

00:25:33.000 He is sharp, he is on top of things.

00:25:36.000 There's no doubt in my mind that the president is mentally fit for office.

00:25:39.000 Biden has proven himself to have a strong memory.

00:25:42.000 He's completely mentally sharp.

00:25:43.000 He's at the top of his game.

00:25:45.000 They've been covering for him, Jeff Webb.

00:25:51.000 Totally.

00:25:52.000 Does anybody believe now that in those small meetings, cabinet meetings, private meetings, that you had a person who was completely different?

00:26:03.000 You could also, by putting those clips together, you could hear the talking points.

00:26:07.000 Sharp seemed to be the word that everybody was being encouraged to use.

00:26:11.000 You could tell that.

00:26:13.000 But yeah, I don't know how they walk that back.

00:26:15.000 I mean, it's just, It's too fresh on everybody's mind that how people were covering for him is, you know, the members of his party, but also the media, the same thing.

00:26:27.000 So it's, but it can't be hidden anymore.

00:26:29.000 It's finally crossed that threshold.

00:26:31.000 It's reached that point where they're going to have to deal with it.

00:26:35.000 And I do believe the Democrats are, they're very divided about this.

00:26:39.000 You saw James Carville's comments and that, you know, the people have told us what they want and we're not giving it to them.

00:26:46.000 This is a perfect example of that.

00:26:48.000 People don't want someone in this position that has this kind of impairment.

00:26:54.000 And there's another component of this, which is very important.

00:26:58.000 If they're going to pull Joe Biden for Kamala Harris, we must remind people Kamala Harris has been a terrible vice president overseeing the border, overseeing, and then of course Kamala Harris and Tony Blinken were involved in the Ukrainian stuff.

00:27:12.000 Do not forget that Kamala Harris was dispatched.

00:27:15.000 To the Munich Security Conference before Vladimir Putin invaded Ukraine, and she said Ukraine is a potential candidate to join NATO.

00:27:24.000 Kamala Harris is just as much to blame for the bloodshed in Ukraine as Joe Biden.

00:27:31.000 That is an unexploited attack vector.

00:27:33.000 I thought Donald Trump did well on this.

00:27:35.000 I think he could do even better in saying, Joe Biden, you are the minister of death and destruction.

00:27:41.000 Every place around the world is now a new endless war.

00:27:44.000 Your reaction, Jeff?

00:27:45.000 Well, I think, you know, I've discussed Ukraine a number of times, the sort of thing you've got to be very careful about, you know, commenting on.

00:27:53.000 But I think that if you really look into it and believe that we have something, we have some fault, some liability in, I think, being too aggressive to the Russians. 0.76

00:28:09.000 And if they needed an excuse for this to be a matter of defense, she certainly gave it to them.

00:28:15.000 I mean, to have NATO not close to your border, but on your border, I think it gave Putin the perfect excuse to go in. 0.80

00:28:25.000 But I do think that... I mean, Putin is to blame for the invasion.

00:28:28.000 We're morally clear on that.

00:28:30.000 But Kamala Harris and the American government, sometimes you play into these narratives and you play into that. 0.51

00:28:36.000 And we should all want a brokering of peace.

00:28:39.000 Who could be against peace at this point?

00:28:41.000 Who could be about an end to all the killing?

00:28:44.000 All right, Jeff, we got an email here from one of our listeners, Pam, and she says, my husband, 40 years, had Alzheimer's.

00:28:51.000 I lost him in April.

00:28:53.000 And it reminds what they're seeing so much with Joe Biden with that.

00:28:58.000 And some days were good, some days were bad, but it declines very quickly.

00:29:02.000 Our team, good job, Ryan, and good job, Andrew, and the whole team.

00:29:05.000 And Emma and Riley, they do a great job putting this together.

00:29:09.000 Joe Biden in 2020 versus 2024.

00:29:12.000 And we were critical of Joe Biden's mental acuity back in 2020.

00:29:16.000 It is not the same man.

00:29:17.000 Play cut 70.

00:29:19.000 What I would do is make sure we have everyone encouraged to wear a mask all the time.

00:29:24.000 I would make sure we move in the direction of rapid testing, investing in rapid testing.

00:29:29.000 I would make sure that we set up national standards as to how to open up schools and open up businesses so they can be safe.

00:29:36.000 He says that we're, you know, we're learning to live with it.

00:29:40.000 People are learning to die with it.

00:29:41.000 You folks home will have an empty chair at the kitchen table this morning.

00:29:44.000 What I would say is I'm going to shut down the virus, not the country.

00:29:48.000 It's his ineptitude that caused the country to have to shut down in large part.

00:29:53.000 Health care, elder care, making sure that we continue to strengthen our health care system, making sure that we're able to make every single solitary person eligible for what I've been able to do with the COVID, excuse me, Thank you, President Biden.

00:30:20.000 President Trump?

00:30:21.000 Jeff, your reaction to that remarkable tape?

00:30:24.000 Well, again, you said it, the acceleration.

00:30:28.000 That last, that very last clip is, I think it's difficult to watch for anybody and how you, how you can't look at that, see someone who really, who has lost a lot, who's unable to sort things out and speak clearly and have clarity of thought and People are too focused on what that's going to mean for the election.

00:30:51.000 People should really be focused on what happens, as they say, when that phone rings at 3 a.m.

00:30:57.000 and there's some kind of geopolitical crisis and he has to make the decision.

00:31:02.000 We should all be very, very concerned about that and I think the people around him Not at all.

00:31:08.000 Jeff, in closing here, we're running out of time.

00:31:10.000 and not being honest about it.

00:31:12.000 Be transparent.

00:31:13.000 Come out and say, here's the problem, here's what it is.

00:31:16.000 We think it's under control.

00:31:18.000 They can make a statement, but they have to be honest.

00:31:21.000 And obviously they haven't been.

00:31:23.000 Not at all.

00:31:24.000 Jeff, in closing here, we're running out of time.

00:31:26.000 Can you tell everyone about Human Events, the amazing project you guys are working on

00:31:29.000 and all the great voices that you're helping elevate?

00:31:31.000 Well, you know, between Human Events and the work that Jack does there

00:31:37.000 and the post-millennial with Libby Emmons and Barrett Wilson and everybody

00:31:43.000 that's working so hard there.

00:31:44.000 I mean, we're trying to address the entire gambit of, you know, conservative political thought.

00:31:51.000 We're trying to break news.

00:31:52.000 We're trying to get the word out there.

00:31:54.000 We're trying to hold the traditional media to a higher standard and call it out.

00:32:01.000 When it needs to be called out.

00:32:02.000 So it's an exciting time.

00:32:05.000 There's lots going on and there's plenty to do.

00:32:07.000 We're just fortunate.

00:32:09.000 It is not a boring time.

00:32:11.000 No, we have a great team, talented people.

00:32:14.000 We're really happy with where we are.

00:32:16.000 You're the best, Jeff.

00:32:17.000 And by the way, Jeff, I want to invite you to the convention.

00:32:45.000 I went to my Costco.

00:32:46.000 I went to Costco in my Trump Thug Life t-shirt.

00:32:50.000 One Costco employee approached me and they said they love my shirt.

00:32:53.000 She was Asian.

00:32:55.000 I found Asians are all in for Trump. 1.00

00:33:12.000 I had multiple side smiles.

00:33:14.000 No one came up to me, but I also didn't get someone in my face.

00:33:16.000 It seems the tides are turning in Austin.
